ACT Brumbies assistant coach Dan McKellar is confident he can fill the hole left by director of rugby Laurie Fisher when the club's coaching ranks are overhauled at the end of the season.
The Brumbies will restructure their coaching set-up when their Super Rugby campaign ends, with Stephen Larkham stepping up as a traditional head coach, Fisher leaving to join Gloucester, McKellar in line to take charge of the forwards, and another coach expected to be added.
But for now the trio is focused on lifting the Brumbies into the finals and keeping their championship dream alive.
McKellar has also been working to start the Canberra Vikings program for the new National Rugby Championship, which starts with a home match against Perth on August 23.
The first-year Super Rugby coach - who has taken on defence and the set-piece as his specialties - says he's ready to take on more responsibility in Fisher's absence.
"I certainly feel like I'm ready,'' he said. "It's been great to work with and under Laurie for the best part of 12 months.
"I've now got a very good grasp on how the Brumbies play and what they've brought in, I'd feel more than comfortable in taking on that extra responsibility. We've had some initial discussions, but nothing has been locked in."
The Brumbies need to beat the Western Force at Canberra Stadium on Friday night to guarantee a place in the finals.
Larkham and Fisher recruited former Tuggeranong Vikings premiership-winning coach McKellar to join the team when Jake White quit.
McKellar will lead the Canberra Vikings into the NRC, with his squad to be finalised soon. There will be 15 contracted Brumbies and 17 of Canberra's best club players in the team to play in the third-tier competition.
The Vikings will start their season against Perth and all four home games will be played at Viking Park. They will play in a televised game on August 28.
A squad of Canberra's best 23 club players will start training on Wednesday night.
"I've taken plenty out of my first year [in Super Rugby], I had a fair idea on the expectations," McKellar said.
"It has been a quick transition. I learnt plenty with the [Tuggeranong Vikings] as a little apprenticeship. Things have happened pretty quickly for me, but I've been fortunate to work with a very good group of players."
Larkham will wait until after the Super Rugby season before locking in plans for the coaching structure after sharing the role with Fisher this season.
The World Cup-winning flyhalf will also use the NRC as a testing ground for potential recruits for the 2015 season.

Have a Tax Question? Ask a Tax Expert
My initial thoughts are that, if you reimburse all employees for this sort of thing on an accountable basis, and you do not discriminate, you would be operating in accordance with the rules for a Section 125 cafeteria plan. The employees could receive the benefit of having their fees payed for or treated as cash compensation.
See IRC Sec. 125 here:
How Current is This?
(a) General rule Except as provided in subsection (b), no amount shall be included in the gross income of a participant in a cafeteria plan solely because, under the plan, the participant may choose among the benefits of the plan.
(b) Exception for highly compensated participants and key employees
(1) Highly compensated participants In the case of a highly compensated participant, subsection (a) shall not apply to any benefit attributable to a plan year for which the plan discriminates in favor of-
(d) Cafeteria plan defined
For purposes of this section-
(1) In general The term "cafeteria plan" means a written plan under which-
(A) all participants are employees, and
(B) the participants may choose among 2 or more benefits consisting of cash and qualified benefits.
(f) Qualified benefits defined For purposes of this section, the term "qualified benefit" means any benefit which, with the application of subsection (a), is not includible in the gross income of the employee by reason of an express provision of this chapter (other than section 106 (b), 117, 127, or 132). Such term includes any group term life insurance which is includible in gross income only because it exceeds the dollar limitation of section 79 and such term includes any other benefit permitted under regulations. Such term shall not include any product which is advertised, marketed, or offered as long-term care insurance.
An employer can not require an employee to be responsible for any costs associated with obtaining an H1 visa. If they can not require that the employee bear any costs, they can not count it as a "fringe benefit". See below link re: right/responsibilites of H1 Visa holders and H1 Visa Employers: (You will need to copy & paste this into your web browser)
My answer was to assume they were taxable, in which case, they would not be taxable under Section 125.
The direct answer is that they are not taxable as fringes per the second answer posted. Any aspect of the costs above that do not fall under that direct answer can again be excluded under my (the first answer) above.
In other words, no, they are not taxable to employees, either because the law directly says they are not taxable and/or because the amounts are otherwise not taxable under a plan.
I assume this clears it up.
Thank you for your question, but do let me know if you need more clarification.
My wife is also a CPA who travels the world for her company, auditing, on visas all the time. I can ask her when she gets back and will update with her comments if you like (let me know?).
In the mean time, if the other expert here has a direct answer (or any expert) I invite her to answer over me again. That expert should deserve the credit here of course too (my answer is still just my initial thoughts and is indirect despite being interesting and applicable I feel, but not the direct one you are looking for I understand).
Good luck!!

Notes group one
So here are the results according to notes group 1 on what Gnome users in Largo prefer:
- People love MIME helpers
- People seem to use workspaces in three ways: a) group applications by activity, b) separate applications, c) have additional space on screen
- People like to have a way to clear stuff out of the way on screen
- People like it when they can easily express what they're looking for to a search feature
- People like being confident that the search results are adequate to their query
- People very often switch between different windows of the same application; they never use alt-tab, but they use in-app menus or (preferably) the context menu on the panel
- Some users like to place windows side-by-side, either on the same or on different screens, to compare or transfer content
- Users don't maximize windows often
- Users don't generally read notifications or dialogs, but selectively read some they know being interesting to them
- Notifications are generally either useless and stressful or very important
- People like it when they learn to gather important information from visual clues on the screen, and will rely on it next time
- Some users are mostly comfortable working with folder structures they made themselves recently. The comfort tends to decrease over time, as accumulating huge amounts of files, or when the folder structure is made, or significantly changed, by someone else
- Some users prefer a flat list, so that they can see all the content available as an overview
- Users enjoy having easy access to files from within applications they are working with
- Users tend to categorize files, sometimes with folders, sometimes with a naming scheme
- Users are stressed by identical or similar files in multiple copies and/or multiple locations
- Users are stressed by the action of deleting files
- Some users don't understand software crashes, and an application crash is not different from it unexpectedly hiding
- Crashing is not a huge problem for the user if he doesn't lose data or state
Notes group two
The results according to notes group 2 on what Gnome users in Largo prefer:
- People find it useful to place windows or data side-by-side so they can compare them; applications often don't let them do that (windows are too wide to be fit side-by-side)
- Data entry is slowed down by having to switch to each field with the mouse. Terminal-based applications let you switch between fields with the keyboard, so people don't lose their flow.
- People like switching between windows with the bottom launcher bar. They know that (right)-clicking on the application's icon will give them a list of open windows for that app, and then they select the correct window.
- People memorize or write down the "path" they need to follow to do something. Our first user had a paper notebook with a note like, "Main menu; Expenditures Input; Add/Maintain invoices; Click Star (*); Add New; Posting date…".
- Not having a browser's tabs in the normal window list is inconvenient; people would like to have them listed there.
- People like creating bookmarks for the file system.
- People seem to use Minimize and Close without distinction in the window manager. The end result is "make the window disappear".
- People don't like little inconsistencies with MS Office when they are invoking the same keyboard-based function. Delete and Backspace in Calc should function just like in Excel.
- People would like to be able to show what is on their screen to other people. Relatedly, software that prevents two people from opening the same document or software at the same time is viewed as inconvenient.
- People use printouts to show them to other people as a collaboration tool.
- The entire payroll got printed (700 pages!) and reviewed by hand/eye, as opposed to having some automated verification tool. The user preferred to visually scan large volumes of data on paper than on her screen.
- People attain usage skills, and get disturbed when they are forced to change those skills because the software now operates differently.
- Switching major pieces of software, like when legacy software is replaced, is very disturbing to people.
- Some people actually know complete pathnames and type them in the right places (/users/largo/department_name).
- Some file formats get opened incorrectly by the right application, e.g. a text file with fixed-width columns gets imported wrong in Calc.
- People use paper notes to write down instruction
- People use paper notes for to do lists
- Some people would like to have a functionality in the spreadsheet that treats lines as records, like in a database, so that they can be checked for duplicates, or sorted keeping the record whole and not sort only one column.
- Help system should have clickable entries, not static text such as PDF.
- People like to use the desktop for documents frequently used
- People like to keep links to frequently used program easily accessible (if they don't fit in the bottom panel or if they do not know how to fit them)
- People would like to have documents placed on the desktop easily accessible from other computers
- Menu items should be coherent: names for operation, widgets should be the same commonly used (panel vs launcher)
- People uses history or "recently used" as one of the way to find documents
- Email management some time require users to offload mails and attachments to the file system (to free email quota), and to make the documents accessible to other people in the future
- Working place procedures may require users to make documents available to users in the future when the current employer may not be there anymore.
- Co-workers may share document in a shared file system, and they may find difficult to find documents in other people organizations.
- Some people are very fond of drag and drop.
- A person missed a button on the Libre Calc toolbar to find duplicate and eliminate them
- People do not like when they do a repetitive operation and a dialog box opens up everytime to request the same information (example copying and pasting from a browser inside a spreadsheet)
- Some People try to fit in the email quota by eliminating emails from the "Sent" folders.
- When printing, the printers available in an organization may be a lot and it is difficult for the user to select the ones closed by by looking at the list in the printer dialog. When selecting a printer, users often do not know which one to choose.
Admittedly, these are very interesting real-life use observation conclusions, that need to be deeply analyzed and considered to successfully address with small but important changes on 3.8.
What of these points match the reality of your every day use?

I had to restore my entire hard drive and used the restore feature which
comes with Windows Vista. It worked very well. However, now I have no
system sounds. I went into "Personalization" and clicked on "Sounds" and
then I clicked inside the box, "Play Windows Startup sound." However, this
does not help. Also, when I test the sound I choose for a different Windows
event (I am testing it by using the "Test" button within "Sound"), no sound
is played. But when I open the Media folder, I can play each and every one
of the system sounds using WMP.
I also looked into the registry and found that under
HKEY_USERS->S-1-5-21-...->Schemes, I can see the events and the .wav files I
have chosen for each event.
I also checked in TweakVI and I have not disabled anything which should
affect the system sounds.
I did have some trouble reinstalling the X-Fi Sound card, but it works. I
do also have AC'97 installed, but I do not use it. UAC is turned off for now.
I like the Vista startup and shutdown sound and I like all the other sounds
as well. Any way I can get each back?
Thank you,

|Variable Gizzard Shad Recruitment with Reservoir Productivity: Causes and Implications for Classifying Systems
|Bremigan, Mary T.; Stein, Roy A.
gizzard shad
reservoir productivity
Total Phosphorus (TP) concentrations
|Issue Date:
|Bremigan, Mary T.; Stein, Roy A. "Variable Gizzard Shad Recruitment with Reservoir Productivity: Causes and Implications for Classifying Systems," Ecological Applications, v. 11, no. 5, 2001, pp. 1425-1437.
|Achieving sustainable prey fish assemblages that support sport fish predator populations is a fundamental challenge to fisheries managers. Among Midwestern and Southeastern (USA) reservoirs, gizzard shad, Dorosoma cepedianum, have been widely stocked to improve predator growth. However, these stockings have yielded highly variable effects on sport fish, due in part to highly variable recruitment of gizzard shad. To determine whether reservoir productivity can be used to classify reservoirs according to recruitment of gizzard shad, we quantified gizzard shad recruitment along a mesotrophic to hypereutrophic productivity gradient. We sampled 12 reservoirs during May through June 1993, to evaluate the hypothesis that larval gizzard shad foraging success and survival increase with reservoir productivity. Both hatch abundance and survival of larval gizzard shad correlated positively with total phosphorus concentrations (TP), an indicator of reservoir productivity. Abundance of 15-mm (total length) larval gizzard shad survivors, an indicator of age-0 year class strength, increased by two orders of magnitude across TP concentrations. Larval gizzard shad foraging success increased with availability of preferred, small zooplankton prey. However, abundance of small zooplankton did not increase with reservoir TP concentrations, and larval survival did not increase with foraging success. These results provide mechanistic understanding for the relative lack of gizzard shad in mesotrophic reservoirs, and the dominance of gizzard shad in hypereutrophic reservoirs. In hypereutrophic reservoirs, negative effects of gizzard shad on sport fish may be alleviated by reducing phosphorus loading from the watershed, suggesting a watershed approach to this fishery and water quality problem.

Examining preservice teachers' preparedness for teaching art
Hudson, Peter B. & Hudson, Sue M. (2007) Examining preservice teachers' preparedness for teaching art. International Journal of Education & the Arts, 8(5).
|PDF (166kB)
The Australian Federal Government's call for another teacher education inquiry primarily aims to investigate preservice teacher preparedness for teaching. Art education was selected for this study as the teaching of art education in primary schools occurs in less than ideal conditions and may often be avoided by generalist primary teachers (Russell-Bowie, 2002). Eighty-seven final-year preservice teachers were surveyed on their perceptions of their preparedness for teaching primary art education at the conclusion of their Bachelor of Education program. The 39 survey items were derived from the New South Wales' Creative Arts K-6 State Syllabus (Board of Studies, 2000) across four stage levels (i.e., early stage 1, stage 1, stage 2, and stage 3). Percentages and mean scale scores suggested that these final-year preservice teachers believed they were generally prepared to teach art education in primary schools as a result of a preservice teacher education visual arts unit. Nevertheless, more than 10% of preservice teachers indicated they could not agree or strongly agree that they could provide 20 of the 39 teaching practices advocated by the syllabus and 20% indicated this for 7 of the 39 teaching practices. Tertiary education institutions need to be proactive in responding to the challenge of determining preservice teachers' preparedness for teaching. Surveys linked to a state syllabus may assist in assessing preservice teachers' perceptions of their preparedness for teaching and may provide valuable information for further development of tertiary education coursework.

Recently, I shared my "Will You Be My Bridesmaid?" cards with you all. You know, the ones I spent weeks making, painstakingly cutting out paper-doll chains, dresses and attempting to recreate each bridesmaid's hairstyle to match each respective paper doll.
I sort of went all out.
One of my bridesmaids joked if Mr. Snapdragon made paper dolls when asking his groomsmen and ushers to be in our wedding. Well, I can report that he did not, and just a couple weeks after I officially asked my 'maids, he completed his task of asking his dudes to be a part of our wedding. Though it took him a fraction of the time it took me (like, we're talking probably 1/500th of the time), I still absolutely loved his approach, and couldn't help but laugh when he showed me his idea.
Here's what each of his fellas received in their e-mail inboxes:
Nothing like creating an Internet meme of you sitting on a toilet to ask your closest friends and family to be a part of one of the most important days of your life. Though not quite a formal ask, at least it had a bit more character than a simple text (which was the method he told his friends about our engagement). Plus, it perfectly suits his personality – goofy and laid back – just how I love him most.

Rap duo Krept and Konan win Best Newcomer at the MOBO Awards
9:06am Monday 21st October 2013
By Hannah Williamson
9:06am Monday 21st October 2013
By Hannah Williamson
Croydon rappers Krept and Konan won the best newcomer prize at the MOBO Awards.
The pair were announced as the winners at the 18th annual awards ceremony in Glasgow on Saturday evening.
Their win means the duo join just a handful of artists to be awarded the prestigious MOBO- Music Of Black Origin award while still unsigned.
After being presented with the award, the delighted pair took to Twitter with Krept (real name Casvo Johnson) tweeting "We f****** did it. Best newcomers! Thankyou."
Konan (real name Karl Wilson), later added: "I had so much things to say in my head when I was walking to get the award then when it came down to the speech my mind when blank - was so shocked."
The award follows an emotional few months for Mr Wilson, who released a song about the murder of his stepfather Carlton Ned who was shot at his home in Thornton Heath in July 2011.
In August, Christopher Thomas of Tulse Hill, was jailed for life for the murder, speaking to the Croydon Guardian at the time, Mr Wilson said he was pleased with the sentence.

Choke You Chicken Peri-Peri Hot Sauce Review
Tags: hot sauce, pepper extract, peri-peri, review
Hello Chili heads and fellow BBQers extraordinaire!
It's that time of year again where we look forward to that special day. It's the day that we stuff ourselves (oops, I mean the turkey) to the point of exploding and then we are barbequing, baking, or frying it to perfection. Right now, some weirdoes out there are probably reading this and asking themselves, "What about boiling it?" As for "Atomic Eh?" I'll say this once…I don't boil meat! It's all about the BBQ baby! Mrs. Eh? is reminded by my introduction of her great Grandmother boiling chicken with the skin on and then serving it up-yuck! Not my kind of chicken but I will say this, Insanechicken.com has sent me one of their insane sauces.
It's called:
Insane Chicken's "Choke your Chicken" Peri Peri Sauce
This sauce is crazy looking and hilarious!
Label/Sauce Appearance
I love the label. It has someone holding their arm out and strangling the #@! out of a chicken. (No, it's not what you thought it might be!) This sauce can definitely be used in public and by the list of peppers in the ingredients…I'll just say, "Watch out" This stuff is going to be hot and "atomic". The sauce has Peri Peri Peppers as one of the first few ingrediants. This is Africa's hottest pepper. The other pepper that is listed are Jalapeno Peppers. This I imagine is mostly for taste where as the concentrated Pepper extract is added simply for searing "atomic" heat. This stuff is gonna be blistering hot! This bottle says, "It is a sauce that will have you panting, pleading, and calling out for mercy. But you will not find any from this bottle." They go on to say that no actual chickens were choked to make this product! The sauce looks inviting once I get past the initial fear that came as a result of reading the ingredients! It's thick with a reddish/brown color and there are visible spices floating in the sauce. Looks good enough to eat!
Insanechicken.com was originally established in 2003 and has three gourmet sauces as well as many, many others that they distribute. This is one and the other two are Fire Roasted Habanero Hot Sauce and 'Cluckin' Hot Ghost Pepper Sauce. These sauces are not for the faint at heart. They are great to collect. As well as eat Good for gifts and even better to consume…if you dare! I would consider these to be food additives. They are far hotter then what I might put on my food. So I have tried the other two and you can check out my comments on their site if you would like. As for me, it's now time to indulge in a little "self torture" and try this sauce.
As I open this bottle I can't help but wonder if this is going to be as hot as I think it will be. It smells of taco seasoning, but definitely has something lurking subtly in the background. It smells sweet and maybe just a hint of extract. Overall it smells enticing. It makes me hungry just smelling it. Lets see what the taste is going to do for me!
I poured some out on a chip. It has a sweet taste and has some definite "atomic" heat. Wow! This sauce is definitely interesting. I honestly thought that it would be hellfire in a bottle. Okay, one chip didn't kill me…lets line up a couple more! My tongue now feels like it has a mild acid burn on it. I love it! This sauce taste pretty good with chips. I accidently dropped some on my tabletop and I now think I will have to refinish it tomorrow. So the heat in my mouth is building. I haven't yet run screaming for the milk, but this sauce is hot. I've got a nice little brow sweat going on after three chips…man! This is some fun stuff. When obtaining this product you might want to keep it out of reach of children…it's hot and not for the faint of heart. But for you chili heads out there, buy it up! Christmas is coming and if you don't have anyone to send one to then send one to me cause I like it.
The heat is definitely there. This sauce packs a wallop! Insanechicken.com knows their stuff. If you like it hot and you like it spicy then contact Chris…he will hook you up. What's nice about this sauce is that it burns like an extract sauce, but doesn't have that nasty chemical taste. There is a faint hint of the red wine and spice before the heat comes on. It's deceiving because, at first, I thought that it was not going to have much heat. But after the third and fourth try, I had a new found respect for it. The heat kept growing! A lot of sauces will have heat that reaches a level and then plateaus but I not reached one with Insane Chicken's Choke Your Chicken Sauce.
So in conclusion, I would say that this is a very hot extract sauce that has a pretty good taste to it and that is guaranteed to wake up your day. I would give it a 5 out of five for label design. For the sauce taste and heat level I would give it a four to five range. It taste good and it's hot! When I ate it straight off the spoon; well I am not shamed to say…it brought a little moisture to my eyes. For records sake I will say tears of joy! Thanks Insanechicken.com for hooking me up with this sauce…I hope you have enough for everyone else. Don't stop doing what you do.
So this is "Atomic Eh?" telling you about another fun sauce that will definitely heat you up for the winter months.
Keep it Hot and keep it Spicy!

But the Australian National University's director of terrorism studies, Professor Clive Williams, is convinced the new powers are a sensible response to the global terrorism threat.
"These powers are only going to be used in extreme circumstances," he says. "And in circumstances, say, where a terrorist operation is about to be carried out, it is not unreasonable to hold someone and subject them to sustained questioning."
Clive Williams argues that ASIO will be accountable to the inspector-general for Intelligence and Security and has every confidence it will apply its new powers in a reasonable way.
"People who work for government agencies don't want to get involved in abuses of power," he says. "To some extent you have to rely on people's goodwill."
Whatever one's views on the rights or wrongs of the legislation, there is no doubt that the post-Bali environment has produced the most draconian legal changes proposed since penal times.
According to Professor George Williams, director of the Gilbert and Tobin Centre of Public Law at the University of New South Wales, there is no equivalent to the ASIO bill in the US, Canada or Britain. Even here, he says, a question mark hangs over its constitutional validity.
George Williams says the bill breaches the separation of powers - the arm's length that is meant to be kept between government and the legal system - as it would empower the government to detain Australian citizens who have not committed an offence. As it is the role of the courts, not government, to punish people by detaining them, he says the bill is legally suspect.
He believes the legislation has insufficient regard for basic Australian values and the rule of law. This is because Australia, unlike the US, Britain and most other Western nations, lacks a bill of rights, he says.
Human rights concerns have been the main cause of the delay in passing the bill. The legislation has been before Parliament for 15 months and has changed dramatically over that time. The first version horrified not only civil liberties groups and opposition parties but many in the Coalition as well.
It allowed ASIO to strip-search people and detain them - including young children - indefinitely by means of a series of rolling 48-hour warrants, while denying them any access to lawyers or family. After two Government backdowns, the finished product is still viewed with suspicion by the Democrats and the Greens, who will oppose the bill on Monday.
Labor opposed the legislation in a white-knuckle December exchange with the Government last year, when the Senate sat through the night trying to find a compromise. At the time, Bali was still fresh in the public mind, and Labor strategists feared that opposing the bill would expose the Opposition to suggestions it was soft on terrorism.
But, in a capitulation that seems retrospectively to vindicate Labor's tactics, the Government last week announced it would give the bill its second major redraft, removing children younger than 16 from the purview of the legislation, improving access to lawyers and shortening the period for which detainees could be questioned. Labor saw a good political deal and grabbed it.
Meanwhile, the Government has assured Parliament that detainees will be "treated with humanity and with respect for human dignity and must not be subjected to cruel, inhumane or degrading treatment".
Attorney-General Daryl Williams naturally rejects any analysis that the Government has capitulated to Labor in any way, but acknowledges: "I think everybody's learned a lot during the time that this bill has been under negotiation. It is an unusual power to be seeking. If we were in the middle of the Second World War it might be easier to explain it to the community."
The Government has agreed to a three-year sunset clause for the bill, meaning Parliament will have to decide in 2006 whether to keep the increased powers or return ASIO to its old role.
"I can't speculate on that - I can only hope that in three years' time the war on terrorism has been won and we don't have the threat that we appear to have today," the Attorney-General says.
But the Law Institute, the Trades Hall Council, Amnesty International and the Islamic Council of Victoria united this week to express continued dismay. Criminal Bar Association chairman Lex Lasry, QC, says the amended bill still proposes that innocent people could be held on no stronger basis than a belief that such a person has information that might assist ASIO.
"Although there have been several amendments which are an improvement, such as the proposed sunset clause, lawyer of choice and lifting the minimum age to which they apply, these provisions are still an affront to our civil liberties," Lasry says.
"The bill will still apply to 16 and 17-year-old people who are not accused of committing any offence. As in the previous bill, rights of silence and the privilege against self-incrimination vanish, not from the reach of people who are accused of crime but from people who are innocent of any wrongdoing."
Professor Cheryl Saunders, of the Melbourne University law school, is also concerned ASIO will be able to detain people who have done nothing wrong.
She says Clive Williams might be convinced that ASIO will use its new powers only in exceptional circumstances, but Australia lacks "a human rights culture" and there is no way of knowing for certain that the procedural safeguards would be applied.
Meanwhile, there is concern that the bill breaches international covenants that Australia has signed. Amnesty International national legal team convenor Nicole Bieske says the bill tramples on fundamental human rights and contravenes Australia's obligations under the UN Charter on the Rights of the Child: "They (the Opposition) will have to be held accountable for that."
Human rights, Bieske says, are not a luxury for good times; they must be upheld at all times.

The Galax Police Department has issued a formal report regarding a vehicle that crashed into the front of the BB&T on E. Stuart Drive on April 19.
According to the report, a 1997 Chevrolet Lumina, driven by Bobby Don Spicer, 78, of Galax, was pulling into the parking lot directly in front of the main entrance when he tried to brake. Spicer apparently hit the gas pedal by mistake, driving forward over a cement barrier and into the building.
INDEPENDENCE — Grayson recently welcomed Will Crawford as the county's new planning and community development director.
Crawford will fill the empty seat left last December by Elaine Holeton, who served as the director for five years before accepting a new position with the Virginia Department of Transportation.
"Tide Tags" are a highly sought-after reward among Galax Elementary School students, according to a group of teachers and administrators – April Gunn, Darla Robbins, Beth Hodges and Darla Wells – who presented the program in the Focus on Instruction segment of the Galax School Board meeting on April 11.
HILLSVILLE – A Michigan man who was found not guilty by reason of insanity on felony charges in Carroll County will remain in the care of a state hospital. This decision was made at a commitment hearing held on April 12 in Carroll Circuit Court.
A Hillsville man's truck caught fire on Friday at 12:36 p.m., prompting him to pull over at 8638 Carrollton Pike, according to the Galax Volunteer Fire Department.
The driver, who was alone in the vehicle, was traveling towards Galax when he noticed that the air conditioning system's wiring in his 1990 Toyota pickup had started to smoke. He pulled over and managed to get out with his valuables and no apparent personal injury before the truck burst into flame.
A single-vehicle accident involving a power pole in Hillsville caused no injuries but left several homes without electricity for about three hours on April 19, according to Hillsville Police Officer Stephen Brady.
A black 2010 Chevrolet Silverado pickup, driven by Jeremy Lee Wilson, 25, of Wrightsville, Ga., was coming down Big Red Drive when he approached a steep curve and, unable to stop or negotiate the turn, hit an Appalachian Power pole and broke it, Brady said.
INDEPENDENCE ― The Grayson County Sheriff's Office and the Independence Police Department will participate in the National Prescription Drug Take Back Day on April 29, with prescription drug dropoffs in multiple locations.
The public is encouraged to turn in unused and out-of-date medications including prescription, over-the-counter and pet meds, for safe disposal at their nearest collection site. These items will be safely disposed of to prevent them from being misused, or from contaminating local water supplies as a result of improper disposal.
FRIES — For the first time in nearly 70 years, the town of Fries has announced the arrival of a four-day fair for kids and adults to enjoy.
The Fries Fun Fair will be held April 27-30, by the New River. Provided by Lisko Family Midway Amusements, the fair will feature a number of rides, game booths and food stations throughout the long weekend.
INDEPENDENCE — Grayson now has a handy eye in the sky available, thanks to a recent certification allowing the county to operate an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) for mapping and other potentially life-saving uses.
INDEPENDENCE — Grayson County is offering two tax relief programs that benefit local veterans, the elderly and the disabled.
At the April meeting of the Grayson Board of Supervisors, Commissioner of the Revenue Larry Bolt talked about the county's real estate tax relief program for the elderly and disabled. Passing around a handout for the program, Bolt explained that his office provides an initial questionnaire to the public, to give citizens an opportunity to see if they may qualify.

Tokyo Sushi on St. Joseph at Bay is one of my favourites for its fresh fish and quiet, tucked-away ambience. My boyfriend took me there the other day to try their omakase for the first time, which is $40 a person and composed of sushi and sashimi only, no cooked foods. Of course it's more interesting with both raw and cooked, but I was curious to see what it would be like.
The waitress was a great sport; she asked us what we felt like having and if there was anything we wanted more of, or conversely less of, and she asked us after each round if we wanted more. We opted not to sit at the bar, but I have a feeling we would have eaten even more if we had...
We started with salad; I chose the spinach with sesame sauce and my boyfriend chose the wakame salad.
Then came the sashimi appetizer, 9 pieces for each of us, consisting of 2 pieces each of salmon, tuna, butterfish, toro, and 1 surf clam.
A large sushi platter was the main course, and we each had at least 13 pieces of nigiri plus 6 pieces of maki. (I say at least because I'm sure there is something I've forgotten...) We had: 2 pieces each of salmon, tuna, toro, butterfish, and unagi; 1 piece each of uni, quail egg with tobiko, and a mysterious pale fish that was scored and seared - possibly butterfish again, oily and rich. The 2 maki were a dynamite roll and a spicy tuna roll (yum).
A second round of sushi offered us each 1 salmon roe nigiri and 1 handroll with real crab meat and scallop (so far as I could determine).
And since we were stuffed by then, we had the requisite green tea ice cream and were on our way.
We were extremely pleased as always by the freshness and good variety of fish. It wasn't an omakase like Kaji, Omi, Hashimoto, or even Japango, but neither does it bill itself as such. It is simply well-made and fresh, and certainly hit the spot. Highly recommended.

This Week in Publishing 7/18/08
Well, of course. Just when I buy a Kindle the rumors surface about future versions. Oh, the humanity!
Speaking of e-books, a few weeks back I linked to an article on a seriously cool e-reader called mibook, only in doing so I remarked that they had a strange website. Well, someone from this disparaged company e-mailed me, and.... I had the wrong site. Whoops! Here is the proper site, in all its glory. Sorry about that mibook! You still look very cool, and I still want one!
And now for This Week in Publishing.... in videos.
Slate talks to Junot Diaz about writing and THE BRIEF WONDROUS LIFE OF OSCAR WAO, for which he has received many medals. Diaz also admits that he would rather be reading than writing:
In case you are wondering if the production values of book trailers are increasing (these are the things that keep me up at night), look no further than sci-fi thriller writer and faithful lurker Jeff Carlson's awesome book trailer for PLAGUE WAR:
And finally, while we're sharing videos, during that Gawker thing that shall not be named I was compared in the comments section to this individual:
So to set the record straight, no, I don't surf, and no, I don't talk like that guy. Although he's kind of my hero.
Have a great weekend!

Can you not upgrade to the newest version when it comes out? It's just like the ipod. I keep peeking into Best Buy dubiously, afaid of a newer - imminent - version, which I know is going to come.
Nathan your blog is so popular, folks are emailing you to set the record straight. Perhaps you should muscle yourself a new - and free - mibook. What do you reckon are your chances?
Regarding 'that Gawker thing which shall not be named...'
Yea I read those comments. Some said you looked 'too surfy,' some said they liked a 'surfy' look. It's all a haze. They were kind of insane over there! All the fuss!

I find it more then a little funny how the last video has a link to 'The Moment Britney Didn't want you to see.' How this relates to surfing, I'll never know.

Um, well, it WAS funny, but "Oh the humanity!"
Okay, well, not having the newest kindle isn't QUITE in the same category as the Hindenberg, is it?
I certainly hope your current kindle does not "kindle" itself (sorry, that hurt, didn't it?) into a ball of fire, forcing you to jump 20 feet or so to the ground....
In spite of the name, how likely is a kindle to do the whole spontaneous comustion thing?

Thanks for that Slate video, Nathan! I love Junot Diaz... a while ago on this very blog I listed OSCAR WAO as the best book I'd read in 2007.
Didja all notice it took him 11 YEARS to write it?
I think it was worth it.

As far as the surfer video goes...
Does he purposefully sound unintelligent?
Looks aside, you always manage to appear in full possession of your mind, Nathan. Except when spending money on a Kindle. :D

hey nathan,
just found your blog...read part at right first...thought YOU have repped authors since 1914.
rock on,

Dude, allz I can say is in that interview with the Pulitzer guy--one of those chicks is super frickin hot. I'd like to come across her in an empty library stack...
- July 19, 2008 at 12:39 AM
I thought the trailer was too long.
The production quality was decent-to-good, but the whole commentary by the author himself gets in the way.
Instead of 4 minutes+ it should be 30 seconds. Plus, that way if it gets picked up for TV spots it's already trimmed.
I would like to talk about this with that chick who interviewed the Pulitzer guy. Then again, I would like to talk about anything with her.
- July 19, 2008 at 12:42 AM
I hope you don't think that surfer dude was being serious. Watch Kelly Slater or Laird Hamilton in an interiew sometime. THey do use words like 'gnarly' and 'stoked' but in a very serious way.
I would like to talk about this with that chick.,,,,heheheh

The Junot Diaz interview on The Colbert Report a couple weeks back was pretty good too. They were clearly both excited and giddy, very cute.
I wonder what a query from that surfer would would like. . .
- July 19, 2008 at 1:05 AM

Anon 9:49
"Gnarly" and "stoked" Oh my. Those were words used when I was in high school. And they applied to skiing and pep assemblies. They may have been a result of the urban surfer kick that had a brief life in about 1980 at my high school, but those words hung around for years..... I still occasionally hear "gnarly" used to describe a test or something in the junior high where I teach.
Hmmm.... etymology in pop culture: a fine bit of study for a Saturday morning.
- July 19, 2008 at 1:08 PM
Duuude. Surfer guy was funny. But wow. That plague trailer is amazing. Nice concept for the books, too.

- JP said...
book trailers...really?
- July 19, 2008 at 2:13 PM
Personally, I think plagues and viruses are overdone to death in thrillers and sci-fi.
Can't anyone think of anything different?
Or is it that no one WANTS anything different?
There are plenty of other ways to die besides plagues and viruses.

We discussed trailers on wordsy.com a little while ago - it's a hot topic. I like Hans' advice: Don't suck!
I'm still not sure who the audience is for a trailer, which makes it all the more difficult to do a good one!

I don't think you resemble the surfer guy that much. After all, you can speak (or at least write) in complete sentences.
It is good to have a hero, though. Joss Whedon is mine.

Riding home from work on the train Friday evening, I sat next to a guy who had a Sony electronic reader (what's the generic name for those things?) that seemed advanced compared to a Kindle. It had a leather cover for the look and feel of book and had the length and width of a trade paperback, but was much thinner. He claimed he liked it better than a Kindle. I've not used either, so I can't compare them.

Three voices/videos - I appreciate anew the wonderfully flexible English language. Diaz (approximate paraphrase): "...wait for the noise in my mind to recede, so I can have a better relationship with my unconsciousness." Subconsciousness? Unconscious?
I thought the book trailer was fine, just finished Andromeda Strain after seeing it on TV, reminded me a bit of that. Golden oldie Andromeda Strain - copyright 1969, Centesis Corporation. Definition of Centesis: "a surgical perforation or puncture." Was med student Crichton pulling our leg with Centesis Corp?
Re: Plagues being overdone - well, I seem to recall a plague back in Egypt way back when...they're kind of a subgenre of thriller all on their own, aren't they?
Back to un(sub?)consciousness...

Future's Game Profile: Jose Berrios
His dream had come true as the Puerto Rican native was going to live out his dream of becoming a professional baseball player. The 18-year old had worked his entire life to hear his name called and the Twins made this dream a reality. This was the first time fans got a taste of the personality of Berrios and it was already easy to like him and his story.
Flash-forward a couple of seasons and Berrios is in the middle of a breakout campaign with the Fort Myers Miracle. He is making the Florida State League look like his own personal proving ground. This is a league that is typically slanted towards pitchers but he has been one of the best pitchers in the minors over the last month.
For the month of June, Berrios went a minimum of six innings in his outings and never allowed more than two earned runs. His 53 strikeouts lead all pitchers in the minor leagues and he never struck out fewer than seven batters. In two of his starts, he went seven innings and only allowed one run. His performance in the month of June earned him the MLB Pipeline Pitching Prospect of the Month.
Berrios is a fun follow on Twitter as well. He announced his select for the Future's Game on Twitter before the rosters were released. He's also a very humble player who gives a lot of the credit to other people around him. His mom also is very passionate about her son and she retweets almost anything about Jose on the Twitter machine.
The Future's Game will not be the first time Berrios has competed on a big stage. He pitched out of the Puerto Rican bullpen in last year's World Baseball Classic. There might be a little added pressure of stepping out on to Target Field for the first time in front of the hometown crowd but it shouldn't be anything the 20-year can't handle.
His ultimate dream is to get to Target Field and he will make that dream a reality on Sunday. It won't be a permanent stay but he will get a small taste of what is to come...

Google (GOOG, GOOGL) is in the midst of its yearly developer's conference, Google I/O 2014. Besides demoing the latest version of its Android mobile operating system, previous Google I/O events have seen the public debut of new products like Google Glass.
Now that the 2.5-hour keynote has wrapped up, here's what to expect in coming days from the Android camp:
Android One
Google I/O 2014 kicked off with the news that Android has surpassed 1 billion 30-day active smartphone users (current users versus cumulative activations) — nearly double the 538 million from last year — while Android tablets now account for 62% of global shipments.
To capture its next billion Android smartphone customers, Google announced Android One, a hardware reference platform that lets OEMs like Micromax release a 4.5-inch Android smartphone for under $100.
Because Apple's (AAPL) cheapest smartphone offering is the ancient iPhone 4s — with a 3.5-inch display and $450 price tag — Google is moving aggressively to maintain Android's global lead.
Android L
Speaking of Android, at Google I/O the next version was designated as "Android L," not Lollipop, as expected.
Perhaps a move to sound more sophisticated.
Or perhaps no candy-themed names could be agreed upon.
Making the move to 64-bit support (like last year's iOS 7), Android L features improved developer tools for animating actions and adding 3D elements along with design tools and guidelines to help keep apps consistent across smartphones and tablets (currently a sore spot for Android).
A new Material theme puts these elements to use and will be employed in all Google services over the summer. Google says performance is double that of last year's KitKat, graphics are better and batteries will last longer. Android L is claimed to be fully cross-platform compatible, including with devices using Intel (INTC) chips.
Android Wear
Android Wear — Google's smartwatch platform– got the full demo treatment (particularly its contextual awareness features), with LG's highly anticipated G Watch in the Google I/O spotlight. Android Wear is capable of some neat tricks like full turn-by-turn directions on a smartwatch.
The big surprise here? After switching to Tizen OS with its Gear 2 smartwatch, at Google I/O 2014 it was announced that Samsung (SSNLF) is offering a Gear Live smartwatch on the Android Wear platform. Google also gave a shout-out to Samsung for its work in BYOD security — perhaps a sign the company is trying to smooth its relationship with Android's largest OEM.
Android Auto
Android Auto is Google's shot at Apple CarPlay. Android phone owners with compatible vehicles will be able to control smartphone functions from a touchscreen display, by voice or by using steering wheel-mounted buttons. Google says over 40 car manufacturers and suppliers have signed up for Android Auto, with the first cars due on dealer lots before the end of the year.
Android TV
With Android TV being announced at Google I/O 2014, the company is taking yet another crack at that big screen in the living room. Android TV can be controlled with an Android smartphone, Android Wear smartwatch and supports big-screen gaming. It supports full Google Cast capability (essentially turning a smartphone into a Chromecast).
A new Android TV store will open in the fall, with a range of manufacturers including Sony (SNE) and Asus offering Android TV-compatible TVs and streaming boxes.
Previous attempts by Google to get Android on streamers and smart TVs haven't played out so well, but maybe the third time's a charm. Given the success of the Chromecast (at Google I/O it was announced the little streamer will gain cellular/cloud support for guest casting without access to host Wi-Fi network and personal photos onscreen as a backdrop), Google's TV ambitions might just take off this time.
Google Fit
In a similar move to Apple's HealthKit, Google Fit is an API that lets fitness tracking devices and apps to exchange information. It was glossed over fairly quickly, although participation of Nike (NKE) and its Fuel app were spiked out as being early supporters of Google Fit.
Apple had its big WWDC 2014 reveals including iOS 8, OSX Yosemite, HealthKit and HomeKit at the start of the month, and Samsung has already made its interest in health tracking and home automation well known. Amazon (AMZN) has released its living room attack with the Fire TV and an assault on Android's smartphone domination with the Fire Phone.
Other Notes from Google I/O
- Chromebooks gain closer Android integration, including use of a smartphone proximity to unlock a user's Chromebook, display of smartphone notifications and a coming ability to run Android apps.
- Android for Work is a certification program to make Android device more attractive to enterprise users, both through improved security, easier app distribution and Microsoft (MSFT) Office compatibility in Google Docs.
- Google Play and Google's Cloud platform also saw some love. Cloud services are getting faster, cheaper, easier to deploy and test and come with improved analytics, while Appurify testing services will make it easier for developers to release high quality apps through Google Play.
Bottom Line
With Google's Android strategy for the coming year now in place, the big question is Apple's pending hardware reveals. Expected are a bigger iPhone 6, an "iWatch" expected to be packed with fitness sensors and an Apple TV set-top box that seems likely to be more ambitious than a simple video streamer this time around.
Once Apple takes the wraps off of those in the fall, we'll have a pretty good idea of just how the next phase of the Apple/Google battle will play out.
Based on what was announced at Google I/O 2014, it seems likely that the smartwatch, fitness/health tracking, the living room and the car will all be subject to intense competition.
As of this writing, Brad Moon did not hold a position in any of the aforementioned securities.

yes, yes,yes,check engine comes on and goes off
and the cam timing is dead on and the engine has compression ?
so you have spark fuel and compression
this should start
lets do this unplug the map sensor and see if it starts and if not plug back in and disconnect the tps sensor and try to start is
what about main relay?
if this was the case you would not have fuel pressure as you stated you have
do you have fuel pressure at the fuel rail ?
does the fuel spray out when you turn the key on or just dribble out
then the relay is good
lets continue and try the items i mentioned
I will try the items tomorrow because I am not working on car as we speak.
the car was running cold and then shuts off when warm, now doesn't start at all

These injuries can occur from sports related accidents, hiking in the mountains, or from almost any kind of slip or fall. Ankle sprain severity is graded from a grade I to a grade III, with grade III being the most severe sprain. \n

\n
\n
The initial treatment, as we all have been taught, is the RICE method:
\n

\n
\n
\n
Rest
\n
Ice
\n
Compression
\n
Elevation
\n
\n

\n
\n
It is important to control swelling and maintain function and motion of the ankle. A lot of time is spent on restoring ROM of the ankle, decreasing pain, and increasing the strength during the recovery phase. This often times requires the assistance of a physical therapist to provide guidance and direction in the recovery process. One of the aspects of recovery often forgotten is the restoration or retraining of balance or proprioception. This is necessary in order to prevent the injury from becoming chronic or recurrent.
\n

\n
\n
Within the ligaments and structures around our ankle joints are little nerve endings that detect changes in tension. As these nerve endings detect a change or that the ankle is twisting, they send signals to the brain indicating that the ankle is turning or about to be injured. The brain responds by sending a signal to the appropriate muscles to correct for the change in tension and to protect the ankle from turning or sustaining an injury. Unfortunately, when we sustain an injury to our ankle, the nerve endings that are there to protect the ankle become impaired or injured themselves. This may result in a chronic ankle problem.\n
For this reason, it is essential to retrain these nerve endings by focusing on balance. Therefore, part of the rehabilitation process should consist of activities that require balance training. This may include: single leg stance activities, tandem balance activities or other activities that challenge ones balance in standing. Balance training is also something that can be done as a preventive method to protect us from sprains as well as from preventing further injury.
\n
If you have more questions on ankle sprains or other physical therapy needs feel free to visit us at Intermountain Healthcare Bountiful Clinic.

Defying a Less-Than-Perfect Past
Your reputation can be a hard thing to shake. Once you're branded with a certain image, it often sticks. Just ask Naomi Campbell who faced criticism this week when a recent incident raised questions about her character, yet again.
While Naomi was arrested on previous assault charges — once in 2006 for hitting her housekeeper, and again in 2007 for assaulting two police officers — this time, she's denying the accusations of her driver, who says the supermodel hit him while he was driving her earlier this week. Regarding the alleged incident, Campbell released a statement saying: "I was accused of unacceptable behavior towards a driver in New York. I have worked very hard on correcting my previous wrongdoings and I will not be held hostage to my past." The driver has since apologized to her explaining that the situation "got blown out of proportion."
In this case, a repeated instance of violence and acting out for Naomi wouldn't be hard to believe. But, with the driver coming clean and with a seemingly genuine statement to overcome her history, it seems Naomi is working to reverse certain conceptions of her image somewhat successfully. Still, it's an uphill battle for anyone already seen in a certain light. What about you — have you ever had to work hard to overcome your past?

Miner's Tip
The Middle of the
Remote Control Continuous Miner
Is Not A Safe Place
|Mine Type: Underground Coal and Non-Metal
|Category: Section Face Equipment
The middle of the remote control continuous miner (pivot point) is not a safe place from which to reposition or tram the machine during a place change.
The pivot point moves as the machine moves and may cause you to be in a position to be crushed if the miner suddenly turns.
Never operate the continuous miner when anyone is in the Red Zone
Although some roof control plans prohibit tramming the continuous miner from within the turning radius of the machine, it is important for You to always remember to Stay Out of the Red Zone!

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in '2010 - 2014 Specific Tech' started by v8only, Nov 18, 2008.
I am aware, and those numbers are the updated ones for both cars.
hey, we've got the CEO of ford here!!!
Ford is best situated american company at the moment. They're the ONLY company who has said that they probably can go it alone without any loans at all, but they want the loans to be there for emergency reserve.
Ford is fine. Gm said they're screwed before end of year without money, and chrysler is no better.
Agreed, but if one goes, it makes it much more difficult for the others to survive. Prices of parts/services will go up to maintain profitability due to the loss in sales for GM or Chrysler related stuff.
How does that make it more difficult, exactly? Wouldn't that mean a bigger market share for Ford?
No that would mean even more people thinking that American companies are not worth investing in be it on the stock side of it or on the consumer side.
Possibly, but nowhere near enough of an increase to make up for the increase in price that the suppliers would require to stay in business with such a huge loss in sales (that one of the big three going under would cause).
"Even though Ford isn't experiencing a "cash crisis," a GM or Chrysler bankruptcy could take a substantial toll on Ford because suppliers would suffer. Asian markets, which are "financially healthy," would also experience production difficulties, CNN Money reports."
"Although the Big Three may not get the loans they desire, they have demonstrated that the economy would suffer in their absence. For example, the Ann Arbor-based Center for Automotive Research indicates that "that 1 in every 10 jobs is directly or indirectly affected by the automobile industry and the failure of the three Detroit automakers could result in the loss of 3 million jobs in the first year," according to the Detroit Free Press."
Economics is sort-of a hobby of mine. I had to take some classes in college, including a global economics one, and I've been following money news every since. I was actually against the financial (Wall St) bailout at first, until some people convinced me that it was necessary. Unfortunately, they didn't stick with the original plan (to buy up toxic assets), and instead decided to "recapitalize banks." I have a lot of issues with the new plan, but that's for another time and place.
However, bailing out Detroit it SO much more important than bailing out Wall Street was! For every job lost on Wall St, another 1-2 might be lost. For every job lost at Ford, GM, or Chrysler, TEN jobs will be lost. In addition, prices of vehicles will go up at least 5-15%, parts suppliers would go under--making it very costly/difficult to find replacement parts for your vehicle, and when the auto market does eventually regain its footing, the money would eventually end up in Japan, Germany, etc.; and not Detroit.
The are other things that frustrate me, too. One is that everyone wants to blame the Big Three for their current issues. However, past government actions--in part--put them in the position they are in today! Here is a good article about that: Commentary: Can the Big Three survive a bailout? - CNN.com Don't disagree with me unless you've read that article first. :smile:
In addition, the Big Three were planning on flex fuel being the next step in getting (at least partly) away from gasoline. I'm not 100% sure, but I think the government gave some indications that an infrastructure would arise to support this, but nothing ever did. The goal is energy independence and increased fuel economy/affordability, and in the U.S. we have many sources of "flex fuels." However, in Japan, they do not have those resources, so they went with electric hybrids. Oil and gas prices skyrocketed, and without a real flex fuel push, the Japanese companies were holding a golden goose, and the U.S. companies were left holding the bag, so to speak. R&D is expensive and time-consuming, so when you spend years going in one direction it's very hard to just make a 90 degree turn and compete with people who have years of experience, development, and re-tooled factories.
The American public generally lives ten years in the past when it comes to cars (among other products). They still think that American cars are crap and get horrible gas mileage, which is simply not true anymore. GM has over 30 cars that get over 30 highway mpg on the new (lower) EPA estimates. The Ford Focus and Chevy Cobalt get the same mpg as a Civic/Camry. Warranties are very similar, and the quality of the cars has just simply improved since the 90s. But the general public refuses to see it. Ironically, it's the same as when the Japanese started putting out good cars...but because they were junk in the past, it took about a decade for the public to accept them.
The public also screams about how the Big Three don't provide fuel efficient cars (which I addressed above) or hybrids (also addressed above, in addition to that there ARE American hybrids, but a lot of people don't seem to know that). However, who will have the first mass produced electric car? Chevy, with the Volt. Ford has a hydrogen fuel cell F-250 that is supposedly coming out soon. These companies are headed in the right direction, and have honestly been held back by past government decisions. I'm not saying they aren't to blame at ALL, but they're totally worth saving, and we honestly need to save them.
Lastly, another thing that people LOVE to ignore, is that until oil spiked over the last few years, they were providing vehicles that the American public wanted and demanded. Now that we don't want them anymore, we're trying to yell at them for not anticipating such a quick change in our wants/needs. If we were very mpg conscious before it started hurting our checking account, we'd be in a much better position today.
well yeah ford is better off then gm and dodge. I personaly think there all in a world of hurt and i dont wanna see any of them go down, i mean if chevy goes i wont have any new camaro's to hate cause they have more hp then the new mustang and i wont have any reson to build up my car anymore my 89 fox or my GT lol . Back on topic the 315hp dissapoints me i would have loved to see 380-400hp but just like normal guys the compition will have more out of the box thats what mods are for, im also not gonna complain about the supercharger package on the GT. dont forget the new v8 camaro from what ive heard is gonna be way more expensive than the GT, also dont forget that the r/t challenger is the GT's compition and 345hp in a 4,000lb car vs 315hp in a 3,400lb nimble mustang im stickin with the stang. Plus we dont know when the new mach or bullit or anything will be in play, i mean you got a 400hp camaro you also got the 425srt that all sounds like GT500 teritory and im betting that the GT500 or KR will tear the camaro a new a$$hole and molest the srt, if they come out with an ss camaro then great thats what the KR is for....all im sayin is we know nothing about the GT500 or The KR500 but they have spy photos of them so we all need to calm down about that i think im not sayin im happy with 315hp just sayin like always there is more to come.....and what i was readin earlier 5.0 vs 4.6...first of guys they are both mustang power plants neither one sucks i have a 89 5.0 and a 02 GT LOVE THEM BOTH, both have their goods and bads saying either one sucks it is just stupid.....:Track: lol
The new Mustangs weigh quite a bit more than 3,400 pounds.
oh 3,600-3,800lbs still my point is valid dude. but the rest is a good way to look at it think.....
Some of you mustang owners act like you have sand in the vagina. Enjoy your old rustangs and I will enjoy my new one. Ford doesn't just build cars for internet fanboys. They have to thing about cost, market, profitability, emissions, and safety. Want to cry about only having a 15hp increase? Go buy your heavy ass chevy or dodge. Whatever makes you shut the hell up.
Raver, I agree with what you're saying. Why are people crying so much about the Mustang being an underdog? It always has been, like it or not. Now, with the current financial situation Ford has been in and the lack of a properly tested new power plant for the Mustang, Ford cannot afford a recall because of under tested hardware. So why is it a bad thing Ford used a series of modifications that really make the Mustang so much more well rounded and have been tested in the real world (2008/2009 Bullitt) with out problems? I work at a Ford dealer and have driven a Bullitt many times, the car is great. It's a definite step in the right direction in power over a stock GT and the driving experience feels better too. So Ford gets to save a few dollars by using parts they already have an abundance of and have been a proven reliable setup, and they can use that money to bring us an even better Mustang in 2011. Where is the problem in that? Now before you boy racers out there start crying about the Camaro and Challenger being rated with higher horse power and bigger engines, we've all heard the rumors about the 5.0L coming as soon as 2011.
If you think Ford is going to disappoint with this engine too then, the option is simple, jump ship! Go buy a V6 Camaro or whatever you feel is a fast enough car for you. After all, that's what keeps the world turning, diversity. Just remember the Mustang has been around longer than all the competition and all those years the Camaro and Challenger were out of the game, Ford was still engineering and still selling the crap out of the Mustang. If you think that means nothing I guess we'll just see when the "competition" really hits the streets (or track) haha.
Let's also remember Ford is still able to sell an eight cylinder car. 315hp may not sound like much but the current mustangs are running zero to sixty in about 5.2 seconds, get 25+mpg, run on regular unleaded, put out next to zero emissions, etc.
Back in the mid 80's the turbocharged SVO ran zero to sixty in 7.5 seconds and was heralded by Road and Track as being one of the best car's America has ever produced. Yes that was 20 years ago but I think we are getting a great deal in the current car and the new one will only be better, minus the price hike.
Does anybody really care what another car has? I buy my car for me. When I am driving through the desert on a warm summer evening the last thing I think about is that my car only has 300ish hp but a competitor has 400.
Having said that, I still HOPE to buy a 2009 in the next couple weeks.
I love my car. That is coming from someone that always hated fords. The new mustangs are damn comfy, loaded with features, powerful, and nice to look at. The modular 4.6 is also very reliable. I believe it was one of the top 10 engines of the year for a few years in a row. Mustangs are the most affordable V8 fun out there. Sure, you can get 300hp in a V6 camaro. That really means nothing. I can buy a Subaru STi and get 300+hp and tq in a car that only weighs 3200 lbs. People need to lay off Ford for not putting out a 400hp V8 as their standard mustang engine. Power comes at a cost.
I agree, keep cost down on base V8's so us normal people can get one.
yeah i agree thats what i was trying to say when i said models such as the bullet and the if there gonne make one the mach 1 and shelby GT's havnt even come into play. mabey even a BOSS???
If they do in fact bring a 5.0 mod motor to the table I'd bet the Boss nameplate will be revived also. I myself would love to see a stripper model, bare bones.....cloth, no stereo, no fancy color changing dash lights, power nothing, with a set of lightweight rims, big brakes with a V8 in it. A track edition I guess you would say. Cars in general have gotten way to porky IMO other than a few select ones. On top of that there are a good number of standard equipment options that I simply could do with out. I dont have a IPOD, I dont need sat radio, in all reality I could do without a rear seat. Kinda like what GM did with the Pontiac Formula. I had a 94 with a M6 and LT1 but other than that it appearence wise was a V6 fireturd. Only the exhaust note and a look at the gauges/shift pattern/and engine bay would let you know other wise.
Agree 100% and with a simple 93 oct tune you can get the car close to 350 crank hp. The 4.6 is a great motor. The mustang has been around for all these years because it is affordable and has one of if not the largest after markets.
I would like to see a car made without AC and power windows.
You guys wanting to see a "stripper" Mustang built in this day and age are dreaming. Those cars don't exist anymore and haven't for over 15-years. Besides, if Ford offered these cars in stipped trim, the first thing a bunch of you would whine about is what a POS they are that in 2010, they don't come standard with power windows or locks.
The general public wants the bells and whistles included as standard equipment.....and Ford is certainly not going to revamp its production line up to satisfy the whim of about .00001% of the boy racer poplulation, because they want to drop another 1/10 off of their quarter mile time.
We are boy racers because we buy a performance car for the performance features? I think that is a unfair statement. I myself am 27 years old and if I wanted "all the bells and whistles" I'd buy a SUV or luxory car. I am not saying revamp the whole line but like 2500 to 5000 of these models would serve a huge pupose for the established race teams, aspiring race teams, weekend racers, and guys that want the car to be uncomfortable enough that their wife dont want to drive it lol.
I guess I am more of a "car has a certain pupose" kind of guy. I like the idea of a well rounded car and all but I also see the need for companies to lend support to the raceing culture in this country. Look how well Dodge did with the SRT4. Them cars sold off the lot faster than they could restock them. If I recall, maybe wrong but the older Cobra R's were like that to. There is a market for it, I know it's not as big as the one for the V6 cars or even the top teir GT based cars but it is there. And why would they need to retool anything in the factory to do this?

BAGHDAD (AP) Radical Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr has blamed the United States and the Iraqi government for the death of a senior aide in the holy city of Najaf.
The cleric's office issued a statement in which al-Sadr promises he won't "forget this precious blood" but he urges his followers to "be patient."
Friday's statement comes hours after Riyadh al-Nouri was gunned down as he drove home after attending prayers. Al-Nouri was the director of al-Sadr's office in Najaf.
Al-Sadr has his headquarters in Najaf, but the shrines in that city are dominated by a rival Shiite group and most of his followers are concentrated in Kufa.
Al-Sadr accuses "the hands of the occupiers and their tails" of being responsible for the attack. The terms are often used by the Sadrists to describe the United States and the Iraqi government that it supports.
The killing threatens to raise tensions amid a violent standoff between al-Sadr's Mahdi Army militia and the U.S.-backed Iraqi government.
Al-Nouri and a top al-Sadr lieutenant, Sheik Mustafa al-Yacoubi, were detained by American forces in April 2004 in the killing a year earlier of a moderate Shiite cleric, Sheik Abdul-Majid al-Khoei, in Najaf shortly after the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq.
An arrest warrant was issued for al-Sadr himself but never served.
AL-SADR ARREST: Gates doubts Shiite cleric will be held
That along with the closing by U.S. authorities of al-Sadr's newspaper triggered a massive uprising that engulfed Shiite areas of central and southern Iraq. Several thousand people were killed before the rebellion was finally suppressed, and the two men were released in 2005.
Al-Sadr's spokesman in Najaf, Salah al-Obeidi, said the United States bore responsibility for Friday's killing because of its continued presence in Iraq.
Meanwhile, sporadic clashes between Iraqi security forces and militia fighters broke out for a sixth day in the Mahdi Army strongholds of Baghdad's Sadr City and the southern port city of Basra.
Elsewhere in eastern Baghdad, a roadside bomb destroyed an armored vehicle in eastern Baghdad, killing an Iraqi.
And a rocket apparently aimed at the U.S.-protected Green Zone also fell short, crashing into a second-floor room and blowing a hole in the wall of the Palestine Hotel in central Baghdad.
U.S. airstrikes also killed 12 more suspected militants.
An unmanned drone fired on a group of gunmen carrying grenades and mortars overnight in Sadr City, killing six of them, the U.S. military said.
Armed drones are routinely used for long air patrols over the capital. They rely on their sensors to pick up militant activity during the night, and insurgents do not have air defenses capable of shooting down the slow-moving aircraft.
And the British military said a helicopter had hit a group of gunmen in the Hayaniyah district of central Basra overnight, killing six of them.
"They were positively identified as an active mortar team," British military spokesman Maj. Tom Holloway said.
The southern port city was the scene of fierce combat when Iraqi government forces launched a week-long offensive against Shiite militias on March 25. British forces also took part in the fighting.
But that violence has ebbed. On Friday, authorities lifted a two-week ban on vehicle movement in Baghdad's mainly Shiite Shula neighborhood. A similar ban on vehicles in Sadr City district is scheduled to be lifted on Saturday.
Violence in Iraq had declined last year and early this year following a seven-month-old cease-fire by al-Sadr, an influx of American troops and a Sunni revolt against al-Qaeda in Iraq.
But the recent government crackdown on the Mahdi Army has provoked fierce retaliation, underscoring the fragility of the security gains.
Separately, the U.S. military said Friday that the pullout of the five brigades that comprised last year's buildup of U.S. forces into Iraq is continuing with the redeployment back to Fort Rille in Kansas of the 4th Brigade of the First Infantry Division.
The 4th Brigade was based in southern Baghdad, a district of about 1.2 million people.
All five surge brigades are due to return home by the end of July, leaving about 140,000 U.S. troops in Iraq.
