R.I.P. Creative Suite, 2003-2013Vootie (1598 pencils) | Tue, 2013-05-07 13:00
You can poke it with a stick all you want but it's official — Creative Suite is out and Creative Cloud is in. Way in. Actually, make that all in. To the point where CS6 is now the final Suite and has been put on life support, with sales ending in the indeterminate future. Adobe made official yesterday what many of us had anticipated for some time, namely that its Creative Cloud service would become the focal point of its offering of tools and services to the creative and development community.
The keynote presentation delivered yesterday at the MAX Creativity Conference was notable for the sound of nails being hammered in the coffin of perpetual licenced applications, with demo after demo and announcement after announcement reinforcing Adobe's commitment to a membership-only future. Photoshop CC is the new moniker for our favorite image editing app, with it and its brethren to be made available in June for the happy few with subscriptions. So is the glass half full or half empty?
Before you jump to conclusions, I suggest you take a look at the laundry list of functionality that has been added to the new version of Photoshop. While those who believe that everything after version 7 has been bloatware won't be pleased, the rest of us who actually make a living using it will have to admit that the new functionality isn't all window dressing. Here's a tip: if you own Photoshop CS3-CS6, have no interest in the other CC applications and services, and only want to use the new version of Photoshop, you can take advantage of a single-app membership, available for $9.99 per month (with an annual commitment), a special offer that is available until July 31st, 2013. Since this includes things like a Behance ProSite membership worth a hundred bucks, it's a pretty good deal -- although less so when the price doubles at the end of the first year (hello, Adobe!). This offer also doesn't seem to be available in all countries, which is annoying and continues the Adobe tradition of sticking it to people outside the US.
So what do you think? Are we all doomed to be ground up like sausage in the evil subscription machine that is Creative Cloud? Or is this the dawning of a golden era of affordably-priced applications and services? Beats me.
You can get more info about Photoshop CC on the Photoshop.com blog and the Adobe site. The Creative Cloud FAQ is a good place to start if all this is new to you.

Single app membership is double what you've mentioned for annual commitment, and triple if you want to cancel any time. That's also in USD. I still think the consumer is getting f**ked in this and for what it's adding, it's not a motivating factor to jump towards even with all the daunting deadlines which I'm assuming will end sales.
The only motivating thing that they've added of value in years seems to be the deblur tool which is still youthful in its process and not guaranteed/ perfect.

It looks like you didn't follow the link in the post to the blog in which the special pricing is mentioned. Here is what it says on that page:
Q: I'm a photographer, I only use Photoshop and don't really need to use any other applications in Creative Cloud. What are my options if I just want Photoshop CC?
A: A Creative Cloud single-app membership is available at a special introductory price of $9.99 per month (with an annual commitment) for our loyal customers who currently own Photoshop CS3, CS4, CS5 or CS6. Offer available until July 31st, 2013 (terms and conditions).

You misunderstand, I'm not defending it or Adobe -- they don't need my help for that. I just want to keep things accurate and people can make up their own minds if CC is for them, because it is clearly NOT for everyone. I personally don't agree with more than a few aspects of how CC is being made available and make a point of sharing my concerns with Adobe. Yesterday, for example, I spent half an hour on the phone with a senior member of the Adobe marketing team and voiced my concerns about such things as the unfair higher prices for non-US subscribers, as well as how there should be a Photoshop/Lightroom package for photographers. It's only by making such grounded criticisms and suggestions that the service will be improved, in my opinion.
- Log in to post comments
Fair enough, I'll very much agree with you there.
I'm looking at the CC as a way for Adobe to integrate new customers rather than existing into their system however by having the "low monthly pricing" instead of the large financial obligation up front. That's why I wanted to clarify as well, there's a lot of clauses if you're a new customer.

Watch the 4 videos and you see exactly why Adobe wants to lock you into a subscription - because the "new features" are really nothing more than stuff you could do 10 years ago if you know anything about Photoshop (or Illustrator or Quark... umm... I mean InDesign). You have 4 "new" features and 3 of them involve sharpening - cuz none of us are happy with multitude of sharpening options we already have... right?
Definition of "bloat"... something no one is asking for and no one really needs.
- Log in to post comments
You could be right. Perhaps I am fooling myself. Maybe 3 more sharpening tools is just the shot of energy every designer's career needs. When you really think about it - my clients would be terribly disappointed if they found out I was passing on these amazing new features - so let's just keep this between ourselves, alright?
Psssst... and Vootie? Don't tell them I never "upgraded" to CS6 either...
- Log in to post comments
Think this really depends on your situation/workflow.
For the freelance designer with a fairly new CS the idea of having to pay monthly for the shiniest new version is understandably maddening. However, for those that work in prepress, keeping current with the Cloud is pretty attractive. Consider, as well, the designer who can't swing a large lump sum. The buy-in is much more feasible.
However, that economic feasibility may become the dark side of this...
Consider the days when film still ruled photography. A thorough understanding of craft and experience in the field were critical to success. Once digital got a foothold, it wasn't long before the nuances of camera theory, composition, seeing the light, education, etc. became optional. Just shoot and chimp away until it looks OK, then 'Photoshop it in or out'. It's spawned a host of 'professional photographers' wielding cameras like shotguns, who don't know f-stop from ISO, devaluing the work of seasoned professionals.
I'll let you make the leap...
Parting thoughts: What it really boils down to is what you can do with what you have, be it CS2 or CS6 - D4 or D40. If you have the coin, take advantage of the benefits the Cloud offers. If not, shrug your shoulders and make meaningful art with the tools you have.
- Log in to post comments
I did prepress for years - there's two sides to that coin as well. A stable environment is even more important when it has to be done in an hour. Granted there was always Joe Schmuck bringing in his project done with whatever software came out yesterday so there is an advantage to being up to date as well.
So far as the "cheap" buy-in... oldest game in the book. The first hit of crack is free. That's not the one you should be concerned with - it's the bad habit you're forming. Just a thought. ;-)
- Log in to post comments
Hmm... wasn't aware that CS6 was unstable... re: the crack - I disagree that paying for the Cloud is a bad habit, especially if you work in more than one medium. Photographer? The new algorithms used in Lightroom 4 for example are noticeably better than version 3. Web Designer? Dreamweaver has added more HTML5, CSS3, etc. functionality to keep current with the web. Illustrator? I'd be amazed at anyone who doesn't think the upgrades made to the image trace tool aren't impressive. And what of the new Edge tools?
I agree with many of the sentiments on the forum that some of the changes made across the board are fluff, but I can also imagine how someone else's workflow might take advantage. The tools Adobe is implementing are intended to increase productivity and creativity. (Let me cut you off before you hit me with the old pencil and paper routine, I get it) Creativity being the realization of an idea through the use of new tools that would have been time/cost prohibitive to explore without them.
- Log in to post comments
I wasn't referring to the instability of CS6 itself. My point about instability being anytime you add something new to an established system it can (and usually does) create problems or adjustments that need to be made. If you have worked in prepress - you know this.
- Log in to post comments
i took the pill and i kind of regret it.
financially, it makes sense as the subscription costs are right at about what i was paying with my usual upgrade practice. and this way i get to stay up to date - YAY!
now i have the problem of being too far ahead of the curve and many colleagues and service bureaus dont have the newest versions and cant open my files.
some of the features require newer hardware. so unless you update your computer AT LEAST every two years you WILL find features you cant use.
just last week i missed a deadline because after effects CS6 (for some reason) wont render formats with alpha channels. so after a few hours of trying to address the erroneous error message diagnosis. i simply had to reinstall my CS4 version from the CD and all was immediately fine again.
i'm like most people here. i havent seen any meaningful progress from photoshop since it got the "history" feature and havent seen any real innovation from illustrator since it got layers (what was that, version 8?)
im considering canceling my subscription and just reinstalling everything from my CS4 master collection DISCS
- Log in to post comments
its the way of the future. cloud this, online subscription that. its going to get to a point where you simply CANNOT work if off the grid. i say it's time you got used to it AND built yourself a contingency plan
what scares me about the subscription only thing is what if at renewal day (be that monthly, yearly whatever), i find myself working somewhere without internet access? BOOM! no tools. what if some terrorist activity or natural disaster leaves us without internet service for an indefinite period of time? BOOM! no tools.
to be truly bulletproof. i'm going to have to start carrying my old CS4 master collection disc box wherever i go. but wait. CS4 apps wont open files created in CS6.
oh well. welcome to the future : (
- Log in to post comments
I think you've summed up my feelings. CC brings a lot of forward thinking to the table but I think it fails on the level of contingency largely. A service that could support a product line instead of become one has overstepped its bounds. If they wanted to fully integrate a cloud backup service into their software so that you could use images, palettes, your preferences, addons, etc anywhere by pulling them off the cloud that would be fantastic.
Q: I thought creative cloud gave you access to all the CS versions? Sounds like I was mistaken.
I even say I do like the idea of having the newest shiny thing out there but honestly, save for maybe half of the office, it's not feasible. Our industry doesn't move at that pace in software because there's no need. We haven't been given any ground breaking tools as of yet and there's no dire need to drastically change our workflow because we've upgraded to something not widely used. This always ends up being (to me) a web design compatibility debate to me about what browsers to service, and what not to. Just because all browsers can use the shiniest new code doesn't mean it should. We have to remember about everyone else.
- Log in to post comments
You were not mistaken, unless I am misunderstanding what you mean by "versions." A subscription also adds quite a bit more to what Creative Suite provided. Although of course you may not need much of that, in which case it has no value. Depends on your workflow.

well. by experience. after effects CS4 wont open after effects CS6 projects. photoshop seems to be okay - for now.
and on renewal date (whether in your case thats monthly or yearly), if the software doesnt get what it needs from adobe (thus requiring net access) your software wont open. learned this when i changed my accounts a few months ago. now whether or not you can get a bypass code or something by calling adobe and verifying payment - i dont know
- Log in to post comments
All the problems you guys are having are exactly why I'm not interested. And not just when it comes to Adobe - the other products too. As ZM noted - the web and browsers are no different when it comes to upgrades. We need time to actually USE the software. To LEARN the "new" features and get some practical use out of them. I understand why Adobe wants us to upgrade every 6 months - because that's their business - selling software. And I'm just as interested in new advances to computer software as the next person - more so. I started this when the Mac was introduced in 1984 - so I've been riding the wave the entire time. But I'm not a computer geek. I'm a graphic designer. My business is creating art - not keeping up with Adobe's incessant software upgrades. The most important thing when it comes to a graphics system is NOT having the latest and greatest. It's a stable environment I can trust every time I sit down at my computer. Because when the deadline approaches - Adobe is not going to even pick up the phone if their new software is malfunctioning or conflicting with my other software or the cloud is down or whatever. They're not going to take the heat and possibly lose a client. I am.

its somewhat rare art that you and i agree on this subject. but this is one of those times 100%
for years, ive lived pretty happily in the "if it works. dont mess with it" model. and pretty much as soon as that changed. it bit me on the butt. yeah, maybe the price of the software works itself out. but if i now have to be aware of having the latest hardware to run it. kind of offsets the value.

for those of you who might appreciate. somebody started a petition against this...

Thanks for the link. Somebody posted this in the reply section at the bottom...
Looks a little thin now - but in a few years when my current version of Photoshop is obsolete? It will probably have all the features I need (and less Adobe bloat).
In the meantime - let the backlash begin!
- Log in to post comments
Signed. I have a feeling. Call it a hope but it seems more like a feeling given how many are speaking out against this that Adobe will eventually revert. It might be a year, it might be 5. They need time to evaluate this new system but they're starting to forget where they came from and really work for their shareholders and not for their customers. The largest issue, I think, is they've started to hit that ceiling of technology for their main client base (the design market) where people no longer need to upgrade unless its for file conversion, and that might be one computer out of 100 in a design firm. There's less and less crucial, progressive upgrades as each version is released that increase workflow ability and actual toolset for designers.
I think people are slowly growing weary of Adobe trying to constantly polish and rebrand the same turd. The worst part is, they seem to not know their audience well enough to know that we'd be the first to recognize giving something that hasn't changed a new face.
All this to try and combat the piracy of those that have never paid a cent for Adobe products anyways. Great way to punish (as always when it comes to piracy and DRM) your actual customers.

From my perspective the Cloud offering provides value and makes sense for many Adobe customers. But definitely not all of them. Those in the middle, who just use a few apps, and sometimes those only occasionally, and are happy using old versions with reduced functionality, are those most left out of the picture. They're mostly Photoshop users, and some have been using it for decades, so they feel betrayed by Adobe. Adobe greatly miscalculated how pissed off those foks would be by forcing them into Cloud subscriptions. As I indicated above, I mentioned that to one of my Adobe contacts earlier this week and was told they were looking at how to better treat such customers. And more recently there seems to be confirmation of this. Hopefully, such an offering will take their needs into account. But no matter what they come up with, some will simply choose to not subscribe and of course, why should they? Regarding piracy, I think forcing people into a subscription service will turn CS6 into the most pirated software in history, since people will find moral justification in using pirated copies.

at the end of the day here, we all need to think like grownups. i dont think this is adobe being innovative or thinking of their customer base. i think this is adobe being scared and trying to maintain ANY customer base in the face of a changing marketplace. the changes in the marketplace may not be positive, long-term ones. but adobe has to attempt to stay afloat regardless.
might it be smarter to reduce in size and stay focused on what got them where they are? maybe. but their shareholders certainly wouldnt say so.
im not so sure that some petition is going to have any real effect. want to change the beast? stop feeding it. use your existing software and quit updating. i mean really. how many of the new photoshop features are going to make you a better or more efficient designer/photographer? probably quite the opposite. they're just going to make it easier to make shitty work less shitty.
and then there is always corel and pixelmator... i wonder if either of them know what a tremendous opportunity this could be for them?

And @ Vootie, I'm not talking about legacy copies of Photoshop 6, I'm talking about relatively new (CS4+) copies that are operable and functional for professionals in quite a serious context. I'm talking about ground breaking innovation and workflow improvements that inspire people to want to upgrade, not do so because of a couple tweaks. I don't think a large part of Adobe customers do actually use more than 5 suite programs, that's why I refer to it as bloatware. There's no designer packages anymore, any web or photographers suite, it's 26 mainly irrelevant programs. Adobe has always been propped up by InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop, After Effects, Lightroom and Acrobat. Everything else are just extensive addons. I'd even count Flash and Dreamweaver but neither are on the rise. Any respectable webdesigner stays far away from DW and html5 is taking chunks out of Flash markets.

I would be delighted to see Corel, Xara, Pixelmator and other competitors step up and give Adobe a run for their money. None provide a cross-platform solution at the moment, however, and all have their shortcomings. Pixelmator, for example, is promising but falls short for pros in many ways. It's a dilemma -- but we made Adobe the monopoly it is today. Collectively perhaps we can find an alternative.

text: If Patmos could be defined by only one trait, this would be the translucence of the light. The island has a magical quality that derives from its spiritual background. It was here that John the Divine ensconced himself in a cave and wrote the Revelation (Book of Apocalypse). The Cave is today a place of pilgrimage for Christians of the East and the West. Also, it makes Patmos the best place to come and experience the Orthodox Easter. In total harmony with the history that it carries, the landscape creates a sense of harmony and balance. Fine, unspoilt beaches and villages mercifully untouched by the ravages of mass tourism appeal to the culturally inclined, more sophisticated individuals. The imposing, rugged interior is interrupted by fertile valleys. The main town and port stretches around a sheltered bay, featuring elegant cafes and tasteful restaurants. Patmos is the essence of a "getaway", a place where one can enjoy the greatest luxury of all: to sit in silence by the sea and let the waves wash away the frantic rhythms of modern life.

When one thinks of countries with a strong hockey pedigree, Germany doesn't exactly come first to mind. But thanks to the presence of players such as Uwe Krupp, Marco Sturm, Christian Erhoff, Dennis Seidenberg, Jochen Hecht and Marcel Goc, the European nation is now making an impact in the National Hockey League. They are just some of the few German players who have made a mark in hockey while playing for the NHL. Football is still considered as the national sport of Germany and the most popular sport played in the country. But ice hockey has slowly gained a following among the German people, thanks largely in part to their success in international tournaments and the influx of players from Germany, making it big in the NHL. Fans in Germany now get to see more NHL games on local TV, and most NHL teams have started to have a huge following in the country.
One particular team which has gained quite a following in Germany is the Colorado Avalanche. German hockey fans have followed the Avalanche throughout the years, starting when the team won its first Stanley Cup in 1996. Fans probably remember Uwe Krupp most for his 1996 Cup-clinching goal in the third overtime of Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Finals between his Colorado Avalanche and the Florida Panthers. They have embraced the team by buying and collecting different types of Avalanche memorabilia. From t-shirts, jackets, to commemorative mugs and action figures, people have joined in the Avalanche band wagon. They even have Colorado Avalanche playing cards and poker chip guard available to collect in the market. Just like hockey, another sport which has captured the imagination of Germans worldwide, is poker. Poker is a game that has recently gained worldwide attention because of major tournaments shown on television and the introduction of online poker. Among the leaders when it comes to online gaming is PartyPoker Deutsch. Partypoker is one of the leading online poker sites which enjoy a huge player base and a proven track record in online gaming. They are considered to be one of the best online poker sites, and one can easily sign up and join their games online. Partypoker is also known to have sponsored many celebrity poker tournaments which have benefited many charitable institutions. Sports personalities like Spain's Rafael Nadal, tennis legend Boris Becker of Germany, and baseball great Orel Hershiser are just some of the celebrities who have participated in these tournaments for a good cause. Perhaps hockey will also catch on in Germany with the infusion of young generation players who are willing to take part in the sport. Hockey's development in the country is still at a very early stage, and it is hoped in years to come that Germany will join the growing list of nations embracing the sport.
The fact that Germany is producing NHL caliber players is impressive. The increase in German players being drafted and playing in the NHL is beneficial, but there is room for improvement. More resources are definitely needed for Germany to become a major hockey power, but success may breed opportunity and more opportunities may be in store for its young players.

Families can bond over a book with library's one-day book club
To promote family reading the Robert Trail Library will host a special kids- parent book club over spring break. The group, which will be led by librarian Kathy Kleckner, will meet from 3 to 4 p.m. March 26.
The idea behind the club is that kids and parents could read the chosen book over spring break and then meet to talk about it that Friday.
Kleckner took votes to choose which book the club would read. Stone Fox by John Reynold Gardiner received the most votes. The book is about a boy named Willy who competes in a dogsled race in an effort to help raise money to save his grandfather's farm. The other selections included The Homework Machine, Odd and the Frost Giants, A Lion to Guard Us, Whales on Stilts and Half Magic.
Kleckner said Stone Fox is appropriate for kids in third through sixth grades. She said it's a fun book for both kids and adults. She encouraged families to read it together.
"This is the kind of thing families can do for years and years to come," said Kleckner of reading together.
The club will meet March 26 to discuss the book. Kleckner said she will have some questions available to lead the discussion but hopes the kids will take the lead.
Kleckner said other Dakota County libraries have done similar programs and had good success. She hopes to get quite a few families to sign up for the spring break event.
While this particular group will only meet once Kleckner said she is not opposed to starting a family book club in the future.
For more information or to register for the book club call 651-480-1200.

Catch Can Install?
Hi Everyone!
Happy New Year and I hope that your Holiday's were wonderful!
Quick question... Oil catch can on the 2012 GS - LHU engine.
Should I or shouldn't I?
What are the MAJOR Pros and Cons for such an install?
I have been seeing a lot of buzz about this. If it is a must do, what brand can should I get?
Thanks!Sign up to remove this ad
Speed is a matter of cost. How fast do you want to go?

What you need is a Powell air/oil separator. Do a google search, and it should bring up posts on the Cobalt forums about it.

Re: Catch Can Install?
The idea of the catch can is to "catch" any oil blow-by that may occur, and instead of the stock setup routing it back into your intake, it gathers in the can so that you're not feeding that back into your intake. The theory is that our direct injection engines are more susceptible to carbon/gunk build-up on the intake valves because whereas regular fuel injection has the injectors squirting gas right on your intake valves (and effectively washing them), DI engines just have air and the occasional splat of blow-by go over them, with the oily blow-by baking itself to your valves. So the "theory" behind installing a catch can on a DI engine is that it will prevent this gunk build up on the valves, and with turbo DI engines the blow-by can be worse (especially at full boost).
There's a lot of opinion and hearsay about catch cans and their effectiveness, because it's pretty difficult to gather any objective data without doing regular engine tear-downs. If you do a search for "Regal GS catch can" you'll find a few people who use them, but any that I've read about say they catch a pretty negligible amount of oil in them, like a teaspoon between oil changes type of thing. My personal opinion is that I'd only install one if it ends up being necessitated by other modifications. The stock setup seems to run fine and have good longevity without a catch can, especially during normal driving. Once you start tuning and upping the boost levels, and/or tracking the car and potentially running at max boost for long stretches, then you might start producing enough blow-by to worry about. On a relatively stock GS I think it's a waste of time.
There are other options to making sure your intake valves get cleaned as well, like the 5th injector setup from ZZP, which adds a 5th injector upstream of the valves that will drip fuel on all of your intake valves. And as @GSTurbo said the Cobalt guys seem to prefer the Powell air/oil separators as being able to do a better job of catching blow-by and preventing the valves getting gunked. Again this to me would all be driven by some other modifications causing excessive blow-by, but if you want to do it to add an extra layer of protection / cleanliness then it doesn't really "hurt" anything. I guess to summarize:
- catches at least some of the oil blow-by instead of having it routed into your intake and gunking valves
- can be more useful in modified setups that run at higher boost or if you spend a lot of time at WOT
- not as effective as other methods (air/oil seperator, 5th injector, etc)
- likely won't catch much of anything on a daily driven car (unless you drive like a madman)
- can get you in trouble with the "smog cops" if you're venting to atmosphere / tampering with factory emissions equipment
- now you have to remember to keep an eye on it and empty it every once in a while

Well said Andy.

Re: Catch Can Install?
I've had the ADD-W1 sitting in my basement for about a year now, still not installed (pics attached)... technically it is an air/oil separator because it has a baffle on the inside for mechanical filtration, not just an empty can with no internals.
It's been touched on by Walt G. before, but the PCV line from the Valve Cover to the Turbo is considered a non-serviceable part by GM and is a BITCH to remove (specifically the clips in fitting at the Valve Cover). This is to eliminate tampering with the PCV system, although the push-fit/o-ring fitting held by a single bolt at the Turbo doesn't have the same complications and can apparently be removed with a plastic line tool.
Attached are a slew of pictures that I've collected on the internals of the "clip" system and tools to help me tackle this some day... People on other forums have somehow used the small cut end of a zip-tie in conjunction with a small, bent flat-head screwdriver to "release" the fitting on the 4 sides (in pictures as well). I tried for about 30 minutes and had no luck but am determined to do it... Others on this forum have simply cut the line before the curve on Valve Cover fitting because of the difficulty to remove it and went that route.
I planned to mount it to the firewall with a catch-can bracket right behind my C.A.I.... run a short line from the Valve Cover to the ADD-W1, then an another line from the catch can to the turbo. If anyone has any additional insight or success with this please feel free to share! I've done about all the research I can do on it.

Re: Catch Can Install?
And remember that the only 'external' PCV lines on this engine are the ones that flow only when the engine is under boost conditions (another reason why this makes less sense if you're not tracking the car or 'driving like a mad-man'). The path the PCV takes when the engine is under vacuum conditions (vast majority of the time on the street) is through internal passages in the head and intake manifold. It is practically impossible to put a catch can in that path.
I'm one of those with a catch can in the 'boost path', and I can confirm what was said above. I get as much out of that can after one track event (about an hour of track time) as I do in 3000 miles of non-track driving... about 1/4 cup.
In fact, this is a timely question, because I just changed my oil yesterday, and didn't empty the catch can yet. It has been about 3000 miles since my last track event, which was the last time I emptied the can. Results: about 1/4 cup (I spilled a little dumping the can into the measuring cup):
oil_catch (1).jpg
Here is my install:
Note: This is one of those super-duper cheap-o catch cans from E-bay. It sprayed oil all over the place until I sealed it up. I removed the 'oil level tube' from the side because I couldn't get it to not leak, and I had to seal up the inlet and outlet fittings with RTV, but now it doesn't spray oil all over the place.
And I went the 'road draft tube' route with mine (rubber outlet hose leads down to the front engine mount). I park my car in the same spot in my garage every day and do not have any oil drips from that tube, so cheap-o or not, it is catching oil, and doesn't seem to be letting any out the outlet hose.
I mounted mine to a little removable plastic panel on the front of the battery box, which is nice, because that panel lifts right out (with the catch can now) after removing the battery cover. There is a drain on the bottom of the can, but it's easier to remove the can from the car when emptying than trying to catch what comes out of it mounted in that location.
Since mine leads to 'dirty air', I put a check valve in the outlet hose to make sure my engine never sucks in unfiltered air when under vacuum conditions. The 'inlet' for PCV under vacuum conditions is from the rubber intake tube that connects to the turbo inlet, to the valve cover, through a check valve... didn't want my catch can to become an unfiltered inlet.
And nice pics Bbronner.. the blue collar style unlock tool is what I used to get the line off the connection at the turbo, after unbolting that little plate so I can get the hose up where I can work on it. It wasn't too bad. The connection at the engine seemed impossible to me, but ultimately, unnecessary too.
And don't forget to place the blame where it belongs: the EPA. GM wouldn't make this 'tamper resistant' if not forced to do so by law.

Re: Catch Can Install?
I did another track day with my car last week. I had about 2500 miles of normal driving plus this track event (about an hour of running full power pretty much constantly), and got 1/2 cup of oil out of the catch can.
I think I was at the capacity of this can (again, it's just a super cheap catch can available from E-bay). I was starting to get oil out of my road draft tube, probably from sloshing/splashing in there. I got a couple of drips in my garage that night after I drove back home, and I noticed a bit of oil residue on the underside of my car near the tube outlet.
But that's another 1/2 cup of oil that didn't go back into my compressor, through the intercooler (or get stuck in the intercooler), and back over the intake valves and into my engine. I think a strong argument can be made that it's not needed if you don't track the car, but an equally strong argument can be made that you do need it if you do track the car.

Re: Catch Can Install?
Hi All, sorry I have been silent on here. With life and other hobbies I have been distracted.
I have ordered the catch can and plan on videoing the install and posting it on my youTube channel. https://www.youtube.com/user/HyperXprojects
With my schedule I don't plan on doing this until the fall (Sept or Oct 2017) There are some other things I have planed so stay tuned.

Re: Catch Can Install?
Well my thing is this... Wouldn't it be better to stop even that little bit of oil from entering the turbo, intercooler and intake than to not??? And why would you Vent it to atmosphere, instead of connecting it back to where it should go???
And how would the catch can get plumbed: catch can inlet from the valve cover, and the catch can outlet back to the turbo, right???
I am soon to do this on mine to help stop whatever oil I can from coating and destroying my turbo, intercooler, intake, and fouling out my cat prematurely. So a little confirmation on this will help - especially since the air/oil separator mentioned above is basically non-existent anymore, and others are nearly impossible to figure out how the hell they are connected...Sign up to remove this ad

Re: Catch Can Install?
GM routed it to the turbo because the EPA demands it. I'm sure the engine designers, if they had their way, would vent it to atmosphere.

It's that time of the year again, when blokes dressed in Lycra pedal their way through some of the most picturesque landscapes on the planet.
Most days in the early going of Le Tour have been a long, hard slog; a battle against rain, wind and mind-numbing pain.
This is why Executive Style is happy to watch the race from the comfort of our sofas and surround ourselves with cool accoutrements that make us feel like we're part of the whole celebration.
Here are eight of our favourite cycle inspired designs:
Vintage cycling coasters
Watching Le Tour is damn thirsty work, so you'll need something to rest your tumbler of Pastis on. That's where these cycling coasters come in handy.
Featuring four classic images from the grand tours of the past, they not only capture the raw emotion of racing, they protect your valuable coffee table. Made from premium cork on MDF, they are available from Bicycle Age.
Big Corkscrew
If you've got a big thirst, you're going to need a bloody big corkscrew. And there ain't no bigger corkscrew than this one by Campagnolo; the Italian company better known for its beautiful drivetrains.
Created by the man himself, Tullio Campagnolo, back in the 1960s, the Big Corkscrew is a hefty piece of industrial design. It's made from hardened steel and comes in a sexy wooden gift box. You can buy it from Atelier de Velo.
Does your other half hate it when y ou bring your bike into the house and start pulling down the drivetrain on the living room floor? The only hope you have of dragging your treadly through the front door is if you manage to convince them it's a piece of post-modern art. And for that you'll need something with some designer-cred to hang it on the wall.
This is where the Cycloc excels: it looks great even when there's no bike attached, and there's even a handy compartment to keep your gloves in. Cycloc fits a wide range of bike frames and comes in a large selection of uber-cool colours. From Everest Sports.
Miniature cyclists
Gerry Ryan might own the Aussie-based Orica GreenEDGE team, but you can own the entire peloton - albeit a miniature version of it.
These tiny (5cm) racers are the appropriate objet d'art for your side-table during the month of July. Manufactured by the same family-owned foundry (Fonderie Roger) since the 1950s, each cyclist is made from zinc alloy and hand-painted individually. From Bicycle Age.
Bianchi watch
In the age of smartphones, nobody really needs a watch. But if you're going to wear one and you're a cycling fanatic, it may as well be one of these from Bianchi.
There's real old-school charm about the Bianchi 'Barcelona 1973' range, named to reflect Felice Gimondi's victory aboard a Bianchi bicycle in the World championships of that year. The quality Swiss-made timepieces feature sapphire crystal, scratch resistant faces and are waterproof to 100m.
All models are available in Bianchi's classic celeste sky blue colour, or black and white alternatives. And in a flashy twist on the standard watch-box, these Bianchi numbers arrive in a stainless steel water bottle. From Atelier de Velo.
Recycled bicycle chain bowl
You'll need somewhere to keep your emergency supply of chocolate-covered coffee beans in order to make it through late-night after late-night viewing of the race. So you may as well help out a charity (Oxfam) by purchasing this cycling-inspired bowl.
It's made by some altruistic folks who collected a bunch of old bike chains from India and had them hand-soldered into all kinds of stuff, including trivets, bowls and even key rings. This bowl is 22cm in diameter and nickel-plated; plenty of room for a night's supply of sleep-defying caffeine.
Bicycle wallpaper
For any cycling tragic it's always good to get the rugrats into the sport; that way you'll have somebody to lead you up the hills as you approach old age. Anyway, we reckon this multi-coloured bicycle wallpaper in the kids' bedroom could be an appropriately subtle form of indoctrination.
Designed in England by Ginger & French (who were pretty excited about this year's race kicking off in Yorkshire), the wallpaper has a spongeable surface and comes with preparation and hanging tips.
Giant Propel Advanced SL
OK, so you're too heavy and much too slow to actually ride in Le Tour. But that doesn't mean can't own the exact same bike as the guys from Team Giant-Shimano (yes, the colour-scheme is different) and impress the hell out of the MAMILS at your local coffee shop.
The Propel Advanced SL has already carried Marcel Kittel to three stage wins in this year's race, so it is imbued with loads of street cred. One of the fastest bikes ever tested in a wind-tunnel, the carbon composite frame is equipped with Shimano Dura-Ace Di2 electronic 11-speed componentry, Shimano C-50 tubular wheelset, and Giant Contact SLR Aero Integrated handlebar and stem. A snip at $9999.


text: NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- It's funny. Back when it felt like everybody hated Pandora ( P), I was the stock's biggest bull. No matter how many times Apple ( AAPL) was rumored (and then confirmed) to have a "Pandora Killer," I urged calm. This meant getting behind the company, and often the stock, after some scary plunges and lows in the single digits.That's called conviction. But you don't just pull conviction out of the air. You do the work. You apply rigor to your analysis. You talk to key people about the business. As a result, you can be relatively confident going against consensus. Sometimes you end up wrong despite the hard work, but, often, you come out vindicated. These Wall Street analysts waxing bullish on Pandora's business model and mobile advertising revenue potential report the story once it becomes obvious, not when it actually took digging and the application of savvy, smarts and work ethic. In any event, it often happens this way. Once almost every last person jumps on the bandwagon, I'm looking around to make sure I know where the emergency exits are. That's not to say, I'm down on Pandora, but there's no better time than the present to question the bullish thesis I have articulated since before Pandora bulls even existed. However, this drivel from Paul La Monica of CNN/Money hardly qualifies as serious analysis of Pandora's future: He uses the verifiably false anecdote that nobody uses Pandora anymore (they're all on Spotify), an unentertaining bit about Jack Johnson and the standard Pandora trades at 375,000 times 2035 earnings to argue the stock has gotten ahead of itself. Or something like that. Do I have really have to even cite Pandora and Spotify subscriber numbers or explain how the Music Genome Project and pure-play Internet radio works or go over how meaningless valuation metrics have become? I thought TheStreet's Chris Ciaccia did a nice job answering the question Can Pandora hit $40? Nothing would surprise him with this mobile Web stock. Same here. Sometimes the simple, non-quantitative answer is just the best one.

text: This is the most I remember since the Jimmy breakup and the hiring of Switzer. The Campo days were lousy, obviously, but I don't recall this much outrage then. The difference is that most people realized Campo had no talent coming out of true cap hell. Now, people know we have talent, especially at the most important position on the field, because they've seen it before. The team is just dreadfully underperforming, probably as much as Campo's teams when adjusted for the players we have.

To gain an understanding of human development, one needs to detail the interactions between mankind and both its physical and perceived environment. Graduate training and research already emphasizes interdisciplinary research involving both Arts and Humanities and Natural Sciences on this topic at Christian-Albrechts-Universität (CAU). This is exemplified by numerous graduate projects in Natural Sciences that have been, and are, tackling archaeological problems, while, at the same time, cultural studies and archaeology provide important clues and directions for scientific analysis.

My replacement PW overview
I just got my replacement. I'll use this thread to discuss the differences between the replacement and the defective units.
The replacement unit is much better over all, but still not as good as I would have liked. I do think it is a keeper though. I'll outline the differences between the units below.
Background Shade
Defective PW:
Darker than the Touch when unlit and much darker and blueish when lit.
Same as Touch when unlit and much lighter/whiter when lit.
Light Color
Defective PW:
The light casts a dark blue hue on the screen.
The light casts a barely noticeable light tan hue on the screen.
Light Shadows
Defective PW:
Very blotchy and uneven all over screen. Top third of screen very dark.
Slightly noticeable uneven shading when in a darker room, but over all very evenly distributed light, except bottom half inch of course.
Defective PW:
Lower contrast (lighter and thinner) than Touch. Letters are mostly washed out at any light level with a lot of variations in contrast and darkness. Lot of eyestrain when reading.
Noticeably higher contrast (darker and thicker) than Touch at all light levels. Still some variations in contrast and darkness and these areas coincide with those on the Defective PW, so I'm thinking firmware issue. Haven't yet read enough to see if there is any eyestrain, but I don't think there will be.
Over All Impression
The Replacement PW is much better over all with a screen that when adequately lit more closely resembles the marketing ads and the descriptions herein presented by many MR members. There are still some minor font display issues but I suspect that can be cleared up with a firmware upgrade. The Replacement PW delivers a much better reading experience than my Touch. I'm going to read a lot on it then report back on how that went, but preliminary testing looks very good!
I was able to read a couple of hours on my replacement PW this evening without any eyestrain, so I'm pleased! It is in no way as good as the Amazon marketing ads make it out to be, but it is a lot better than using a clip on light, and better than any other eInk reader I've ever used. But Amazon still needs to work on font rendering to make it darker and heavier. Whenever the light level is turned up high enough to render a really white background, the text starts to look light and thin.

The Ghanaian midfielder, who served an automatic two-game ban, has been given an additional three-match suspension.
Conroy reported the 26-year-old Kingston for using "offensive, insulting and abusive language".
Having apparently accused Conroy of racist conduct, Kingston has since apologised for his behaviour.
Unless Hearts appeal the decision, Kingston, who is on loan from Russian side Terek Grozny, will miss Hearts' final three-matches of the campaign against Aberdeen, Hibernian and Kilmarnock.
The club said it was considering launching an appeal, and would make a decision within 48 hours.

How to Make Homemade Pumpkin Puree – this is a huge money saving tip! I love making my own instead of buying store bought because I can control what goes in it!
Have you ever wanted to make your own Pumpkin Puree but thought it is way too much work. Well I have found a very simple way to make your own homemade pumpkin puree. Start with a Cooking Pumpkin. Wash it and pat dry. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Next slice the pumpkin in half.
Once you have sliced it. Clean out all the seeds and the stringy insides. Be careful not too scrape too much pumpkin off the sides. Next place the pumpkins inside down on a roasting pan.
Next place pan in the oven and bake for 1 and 1/2 hours. Your home will smell so lovely as the pumpkin cooks. Once done pull the pumpkin out and let it cool for 15 minutes. Then scoop out the pumpkin into a blender.
Once in blender put on cover and puree until smooth and creamy. Then put in air tight containers and either place in refrigerator or you can freeze it. This will stay fresh in the refrigerator for 7 days and you can freeze for up to 3 months. The amount of pumpkin you get will depend on the size of the pumpkin.

On August 21, 2017, millions of people across the United States will see nature's most wondrous spectacle — a total eclipse of the Sun. It is a scene of unimaginable beauty; the Moon completely blocks the Sun, daytime becomes a deep twilight, and the Sun's corona shimmers in the darkened sky. This is your guide to understand, prepare for, and view this beautiful celestial event.
A total solar eclipse is unlike anything you've seen in your life. As totality approaches, you will see the astonishing sight of day turning to night and the Sun's corona blazing in the sky. This is truly a great American eclipse because totality will sweep the nation from the Pacific to the Atlantic. Nearly everyone in the US can reach this total solar eclipse within one day's drive. An eclipse is a cosmic billiard shot — the Sun, Moon, and Earth line up to reveal the Sun's atmosphere, it's corona. Eclipses on Earth occur only because of an amazing celestial coincidence.

is a compound (two or more elements) that has been pulled" apart into its constituents (ions) by water.Example: Sodium chloride (NaCl)
NaCl does NOT exist in seawater, only Na+ and the Cl- do.
Dissolution occurs when a salt is broken into its constituent ions to give a solution.
Solution is made of
a solvent (e.g. water- usually a liquid) a solute (e.g. salt- usually a solid or gas)
Precipitation occurs
Precipitation occurs when the constituent ions get back together and form the salt. A solid falls out of the solution.
Precipitation occurs when the concentration of ions exceeds the capacity of the polar water molecules to keep the ions apart. This is called saturation.
Salinity is the total quantity of dissolved inorganic solids in water (we don"t consider biological cell matter for calculating salinity). (usually measured in parts per hundred (per cent), parts per thousand (‰), or parts per million (ppm).
A Few Ions Account for Most of the Ocean's Salinity
Where did the ocean's salts come from?
i) Erosion of continents via rain, glaciers, rivers ii) From Earth"s interior (mantle)
Water"s great ability to dissolve solids allows it to carry ions from the continents in runoff to the oceans.
How might we find out what ions are carried in river water?
Look at samples of river OR look at salts precipitated in large inland lakes like the Great Salt Lake or the Dead Sea:
But, seawater is different from river water:
1) Negligible chloride (Cl-), sulfate (SO42-)in rivers but oceans have lots!
2) Oceans are deficient in calcium, silicon, magnesium
Biological processes remove calcium and silica from seawater. They are nonconservative constituents.
What about magnesium, chloride, and sulfate?
Volcanos produce gases that contain chlorine and sulfur, and these get carried by rain into the ocean. But not enough!
Undersea volcanic activity at ocean ridges adds chlorine, sulfur, carbon dioxide, hydrogen, fluorine, and strips out magnesium.
Mg2+ stripped out of seawater by
Mg2+ stripped out of seawater by fresh ocean crust formed at spreading centers:
the current chemical composition of the ocean is a combination of processes that link the atmosphere, lithosphere, and hydrosphere:
The ocean is in chemical equilibrium.
This does NOT mean static (non-reactive), but rather steady state.
How can we determine salinity?
. Measure all ion concentrations. Sum. OR
2. Use Principle of Constant Proportions and measure only a few ion ( mostly chloride*, Cl-).
Ions occur in seawater in constant ratios, or proportions. Total concentation may vary but ratio does not.
This is because the ocean is in chemical equilibrium.
Where does 1.8066 factor come from?
Chloride ion is, on average, 55.04% of total dissolved inorganic solids. Measured Chlorinity also includes Br-, I-, F- [All these comprise 55.354% of salinity]
Salinity = 1.80655 x chlorinity
If n Out,how did the ocean getsalty?
At some point in the past, In > Out!
So, a chemical ion comes into the ocean from weathering or mantle outgassing, stays for a time in the seawater, and then leaves via sedimentation and Biological processes.
How long does an ion remain in the seawater?
Residence time =
Amount of an element/ion in ocean/
Rate at which this element/ion is added or removed
Conservative elements - do not change much over time where as Nonconservative elements - change
over short time (usually tied to biological or seasonal processes)
Ocean mixing time is around 1,600 years
Total amount of water in oceans
1,370,000,000 cubic kilometers (km3)
Amount of water recycled through evaporation and precipitation:
334,000 km3/year
Residence time =
1,370,000,000 km3/ 334,000 km3/year
~4100 yr
recycled almost 1,000,000 times!
the most abundant gas in air?
nitrogen (N2)
I extract it from water for photo- synthesis.
carbon dioxide (O2)
I extract it from water using my gills
oxygen (O2)
Nitrogen, oxygen,and carbon dioxide are the principal gases in the atmosphere, but proportions in water and air differ:
absolute amounts of N2 and O2 are much higher in atmosphere (by about a factor of 100) than the oceans
Plants make oxygen and sugars from water and carbon dioxide:
Life (animals and plants)
respire, breaking down sugars with oxygen and generating energy, water, and carbon dioxide.
made by photosynthesizing plants, used by animals, plants to respire
Carbon dioxide
made by respiration, used by plants
dissolved from atmosphere
Solubility of gases in seawater are higher at lower temperature, Opposite effect seen for salts
"Dissolved carbon dioxide in the oceans and solid carbonate minerals in sediments play a KEY role in the carbon cycle and stablizing climate. There is far more carbon stored in sediments and dissolved in the ocean than is present in all life on Earth."
CO2 is a greenhouse gas: abundance in the atmosphere has risen by 33% in 300 years.
BUT....60 times more CO2 in oceans than in atmosphere.
40,000 times as much carbon stored in sediments (as CaCO3 ) than is present in ALL life on Earth.
CO2 from atmosphere -->
ocean: FAST
CO2 from ocean -->
atmosphere: SLOW
Oceans tend to act as a SINK for atmospheric carbon dioxide
Carbonic acid acts as a buffer to maintain pH in the ocean.
Why would some scientists suggest pumping CO2 from the atmosphere into the deep ocean as a way of getting rid of greenhouse gases?
1. deep water is cold, (also high pressure), so can dissolve more CO .
2.the ocean acts as a buffer and
adjusts its chemistry to accommodate more or less CO2.
3. the oceans hold much more CO2 than does the atmosphere.
Calcium carbonate compensation depth (CCD):
Calcareous ooze is NOT found everywhere because deep seawater contains more carbon dioxide (CO2) which makes the water slightly acidic. Below the CCD, calcium carbonate dissolves.
Last piece of carbon puzzle: and its result
Precipitation/dissolution of carbonate sediments: deep water is slightly acidic (higher CO2 and thus carbonic acid), so carbonate sediments from plankton shells slowly dissolve, adding carbonate ion to deep water. The result is an ocean with a remarkably stable pH:

Hey friends!
Happy FRIDAY! <3
By this time of the week, my mind is full of random thoughts….so here are my Friday Randoms!
Friday Randoms
1. I can't eat enough pizza. Or homemade chocolate chip cookies.
Seriously. I could either of those foods alllll day long & not be disgusted by them.
Oh wait, that's kind of what I've been doing this week……
2. Mother's Day is this weekend!
Yay! It's a bit more special for me this time around for obvious reasons. 😉
I am grateful I have a mother who unconditionally loves me. My mom has literally given her life to being a mother (I have 9 siblings-yes, she birthed them all), and has been the best example to me of what it means to be a mother.
I also really love that she gave her time to be there for me & my siblings (she was a SAHM the second she gave birth to her 1st child, and STILL is! My littlest sis is 12). My mom is the reason I desired to be a mother! My mom doesn't read blogs, so she won't see this, but I'll be sure to share these thoughts with her! <3
3. Only 1 more week of coaching GRIT.
This is bittersweet. My team has been amazing & so inspiring. The fitness gains they've made have been really cool to watch & be a part of!
I've poured a lot of blood, sweat, and tears (and yarf. hah), into coaching GRIT (during my 1st & 2nd tri's!), so it's sad to see it go for a bit.
With that being said, waking up many mornings/week to coach GRIT has not been easy peasy. And so, I do welcome that change.
In one week, GRIT will be done for awhile for me. The way the gym does it where I coach is in 6-week increments. Because of summer & vacations, there most likely won't be any sessions. And then when they resume….well, I'll be well into my 3rd tri –and mostly because some of the moves get much much tougher to show (I have to be able to show it & then coach it too), once I get bigger, it's not fair to the GRIT teams.
It's hard to say good-bye to something you love….but I shall be back!
4. I found an AMAZINGLY tasty combo.
grapefruit zevia + sherbet
Holy goodness this is delicious!!
5. Eating what I want & what my body craves is really cool.
I know, I know. It's not news, and I've been doing it for a few years now, but it's just cool.
I will write a post about this in greater depth, especially from a pregnancy perspective. I can just say this: I am so glad I figured out what it meant to feed & fuel my body well BEFORE I got pregnant. I think I would've been a lot more anxious about food/weight gain as a pregnant lady if I hadn't.
6. Taking my pills in the morning is NOT cool any more.
Yah. Without going into too many details (yarf), I can't seem to keep my pills down every morning. And in turn, I waste food & time. It's annoying yes, but it's also really frustrating.
However, my sis gave me a great idea to try! I am going to begin taking my pills before bed….and fall asleep before I feel queasy. I think this will work better too, because by then I will have had more food in my stomach. Thanks, sis!
7. My library allows 3 free downloads of songs per week.
This is utterly cool. I get to download & keep the songs (duh), all for freeeeeeee!
Of course the limit of 3/week is there, but for me, as a non-music person, it's cool.
8. I get sweet potato fries again this weekend. SO excited.
Even though the craving for them isn't as strong as it was a few weeks ago, I am still STOKED to get my bottomless sweet potato fries again!
Our friends who had to cancel last minute a few weeks ago, want to go out this weekend. I am ALLLL for that!
9. ONE week until BLEND Retreat!!!
SOOOO excited!!!
Dang, that girl can sing! I got goosebumps just listening to it! (She's an 11 year old who sings the national anthem at a soccer game). Impressed.
Have a great weekend!! <3
What are some of YOUR Friday randoms?? What is a GREAT combo YOU've found -food-wise?? What are YOUR plans for the weekend??!

AP's Raum Seems Puzzled That 'Economic Gains May Not Help Democrats Much in 2014'
You've got hand it to some (probably most) of the reporters at the Associated Press, aka the Administration's Press. Their story is that the economy is all right, and by gosh, they're sticking to it.
Tom Raum's dispatch yesterday is a case in point. Along the way, he pulled out several of the tired spin-driven claims which have long since been taken down but which haven't yet penetrated the skulls of low-information voters. Raum and AP seem puzzled that the supposedly okey-dokey economy doesn't seem to be helping President Obama or Democrats' 2014 congressional and senatorial election prospects (bolds and numbered tags are mine):
... He and his allies in Congress have "walked the economy back from the brink," his new 2014 federal budget blueprint asserts. And Democrats hope these improvements, while still slow and uneven, will give them at least a small boost in 2014's midterm races. [1]
That's a big order, considering:
-Presidential claims of responsibility for economic gains rarely win plaudits from voters, yet presidents nearly always get blamed when things get worse.
-The historical odds for midterm gains in Congress by the in-power party are slim at best. Since World War II, the president's party has lost an average of 26 seats in midterm elections and gained seats only twice - Democrats in 1998 under President Bill Clinton and Republicans in 2002 with George W. Bush in the Oval Office.
-Presidential elections are often referendums on the economy. That applies less often to midterms.
... The government reported Friday that economic growth accelerated to an annual rate of 2.5 percent from January through March, helped by the strongest consumer spending in more than two years.[2] But federal spending fell, and tax increases and Washington's budget cuts could slow growth later this year.
The report showed the economy was getting stronger after nearly stalling late last year, when it grew just 0.4 percent in the final three months of 2012.
... What steps can Obama rightfully claim that have helped spur economic improvement?
His $830 billion stimulus program of 2009, for one. [3] The White House also cites two other major emergency programs - the auto and financial industry bailouts. Both were started under President George W. Bush and expanded by Obama.
The White House suggests Obama's anti-recessionary programs helped nurture the creation of more than 6 million new jobs since the economy bottomed in 2010. [4]
Really, that's all I can stand. Raum rambles on for another 10 torturous paragraphs.
[1] -- Here is how deep the White House has to scrape the bottom of the barrel to come up with something good to say about the economy, per Alan Krueger at its Council of Economic Advisers: "Real GDP is now 3.2 percent larger than it was at the previous business cycle peak in 2007:Q4." Over five years on, that is the worst economic recovery since World War II -- by miles.
[2] -- Here, Raum mimics AP Economics Writers Martin Crutsinger and Christopher Rugaber. Meanwhile, Reuters, Bloomberg, and even AP Markets Writer Steve Rothwell characterized the first-quarter result as "disappointing."
[3] -- They just won't let go of "the stimulus worked" mantra, will they? Here's a clue for Tom Raum, Crutsinger, Rugaber, and all the other AP apparatchiks. Every single flippin' recovery since World War II saw a far quicker and far more robust turnaround than the currect one. The current "recovery" is the only one during which massive amounts of stimulus were applied. The stimulus held back the recovery. Supposedly stimulative federal deficits and supposedly stimulative quantiative easing by the Fed are still holding back the economy.
[4] -- The "economy" didn't bottom out in 2010. It bottomed out when the recession officially ended in June 2009, the last month during a quarter in which the economy contracted. The job market bottomed out in February 2010 because the beloved stimulus program which was supposed to work wonders so quickly instead prolonged the job-market agony. The other forms of stimulus identified in the last item continue to hold back the job market.
It will be interesting to see how the drones at AP react if, as seems reasonably likely, economic reports durinng the next three days -- ADP's Employment Report, the Institute for Supply Management's Manufacuring and Non Manufacturing releases, and Friday's big enchilada Employment Situation Summary, among others -- come in at mediocre or worse, possibly far worse, results.

SHERBORNE TOWN v BRIDPORT
INFLUENTIAL midfielder Chris Luke is back in the Bridport ranks for tonight's league game at Sherborne Town (7.45pm).
Luke was unavailable for the 3-0 defeat by Bristol Manor Farm last Saturday so his return will be a welcome boost for Bees' boss Trevor Senior.
The Bridport chief has a number of players carrying knocks but only Gary Bulman (knee) is definitely out.
Chris Clarke (knee), Dan Wise (thigh), Jamie Filkins (ankle) and Darren Watts (foot) are all expected to feature tonight, should the Toolstation Western League Premier Division match beat the weather.
Keeper Ashley Weeks deputises for Sam Filkins again but striker Max Buckler is unavailable.
The teams have already met twice this season with Sherborne winning the league meeting at St Mary's Field last September and the Bees gaining revenge in the Dorset Senior Cup in October.
In terms of current form, Bridport are without a win in four outings while Sherborne have won their last three in all competitions, but they haven't played since December 14.
"They are always up for it and are a hard working side," said Senior of Sherborne. "They've got a few players that can catch the eye like Marc Caines and Matt Day.
"We're going to need to watch them but it's a local derby and anything can happen.
"They didn't play on Saturday and have had a lot of rain since then, so I don't know if it will go ahead. The general feeling from people up there is that it won't be on, but we'll have to wait and see."
Bridport, 12th in the table before last night's games, are 10 points better off than Sherborne, who lie in 18th.
Bees (from): Weeks, J Filkins, Senior, C Clarke, Evans, Watts, Hayter, Luke, Wise, Richardson, Dovell, Morley, Staines, Condliffe

ICYMI: Dan Innis Interview In The Laconia Daily Sun
Dan tours the Lakes Region Community College
Manchester, NH -- The following comments by Dan Innis, Republican candidate for Congress in NH-01, appeared in The Laconia Daily Sun newspaper on June 25th.
"I voted for the guy twice," said Dan Innis, the Portsmouth innkeeper who is challenging Frank Guinta, the former mayor of Manchester and one-term congressman, for the Republican nomination in the First Congressional District. "But we have to send different people to Washington," he remarked.
Stressing his belief in "free and open" markets, Innis favors the repeal of Affordable Care Act, which he suggested should be "broken up into its component parts and fixed." In particular, he said that the health insurance market should be loosed from government regulation, starting eliminating barriers to the sale of policies across state lines. He insisted that the profit motive, which drives innovation in the medical community, must remain a key element in providing health care.
"I believe in American exceptionalism," Innis said, adding "with that comes responsibility." As what he called "the leader of the free world," he said that the United States could not become isolationist, but must commit itself to protecting its allies and friends, including the Ukraineand former Soviet satellites in Eastern Europe. But, he said he was reluctant to put boots on the ground "if it can be avoided."
Touting his knowledge and experience of the business world, Innis remarked that Guinta "has been a politician his whole career." He claimed that he has a better understanding and firmer commitment to the principles of the free market and follows a different approach to solving problems "as opposed to short-term fixes with an eye to the next election".
We've been sending the wrong people to Washington," he said once more.

A group of ANC delegates from Limpopo on Tuesday mocked those who opposed President Jacob Zuma's re-election at the party's Mangaung conference.
The Zuma supporters from Limpopo rolled their hands, as is done in soccer matches to call for a player's substitution, and added a thumbs-down to it.
"Change?... uhmmm..," they murmured.
Earlier, Zuma won a second term as African National Congress leader on Tuesday.
He received 2983 votes against Kgalema Motlanthe's 991. - Sapa

Molm Reindar (Guardian)
Origin: Magic
Archetype: Stalker
Primary: Claws
Secondary: Willpower
Other Powers: Leaping, Fitness
Global Handle: @k26dp
Supergroup: The Amaranthine
Other Associations: Midnight Squad, Ouroboros, 5th Column, The ZEBRA Death Squad
Molm Reinder was born somewhere in Eastern Europe in the late 1800's. His early life and training is shrouded in mystery, but it's believed that he committed his first murder in 1897 in Vienna, a minor Serbian dignatary whose death increased tensions between Serbia and the Austrian-Hungarian Empire.
He became a much sought-after assassin-for-hire in Europe, working for anyone who would pay his price. Shortly before the outbreak of World War I, he seemingly disappeared, and counter-intelligence officials on both sides of the conflict assumed that he had been killed.
Molm Reinder resurfaced in the 1920s, primarily operating in Italy and Spain. Again, he became a highly sought-after killer-for-hire, and gained steady work acting as an agent for proto-fascist European parties. It is not known what political view Molm Reindar holds, if any, and in fact can be bought to work against a former client. However, Molm Reindar gained a reputation as someone who always finished the job he was contracted for.
In the 1930's, Molm Reinder was put on a long-term retainer by the 5th Column, and worked with the fascist group in the United Kingdom, Spain, and eventually the United States. He assisted in infiltrating key 5th Columnists into the United States, and his assassination and espionage work helped set the stage for the large-scale 5th Column attack on the Atlantic Fleet in Independence Port on December 6, 1941.
After the attack, and with his contract with the 5th Column fulfilled, Molm Reinder escaped to the Rogue Islands, and found a new client: Arachnos. With the 5th Column visably gaining strength in the Islands as American heroes pushed the Columnists out of their American safehouses and secret bases, Arachnos became concerned that the niche that they'd carved for themselves in the tapestry of Rogue Island corruption was in jeopardy. Molm Reindar was hired to "persuade" President Marchand to publically rebuke the 5th Column, while simultaneously giving Arachnos increased freedom to operate.
By 1943, the American government had learned of Molm Reindar's involvent in the Independence Port attack of 12/6/41, and initiated a trap to capture or kill the illusive assassin. On the island of Warburg, Molm Reinder and a few of his associates were attacked by the First Hero Brigade (metahumans enlisted with and trained by the US Army). Molm Reindar escaped, but it is believed that he was badly injured. One of the US servicemen became the Paragon City hero Grampa Jones, who continues to hound the assassin to this day, even though he has never gotten Molm Reindar's name quite right, instead referring to him as "Mold Rinder".
After the Warburg ambush, Molm Reindar disappeared again, and once again many assumed that he had died. He did not resurface until 2007, again in the Rogue Islands. While aged, he does not look his purported 110+ years old, and is still quite physically able to fight and kill as he did in the 20th Century.
Molm Reindar has infiltrated even the most secure facilities. His preferred weapons are the two-bladed wrist-mounted surrated blades that pop from beneath his sleaves, and can retract leaving no bloody weapons behind. He is also trained in several martial arts and ballistic weapondry, both archaic and modern.
It is unknown what methods or powers Molm Reindar uses to prolong his lifespan, but Midnight Squad records show him as a magic user, though he does not seem to use magic in his work.
Current Status
Molm Reindar is one of several assassins employed by the The Amaranthine, although the Squad allows him to take other jobs on occassion, and has been known to accept contracts from Arachnos, Crey Industries, Johnny Sonata, and the Midnight Squad.

MONTREAL (Feb. 24)
The Canadian Government has decided to accept Iraqi Jews if they are permitted to emigrate, a well-informed source said today. While the number of Jews acceptable was not disclosed, the source said that it was "very generous." Admission of them would depend on clearance of exit visas by the Baghdad Government. So far Baghdad authorities have not permitted any Jews to leave.
In Hartford, Conn., a resolution expressing "vital concern" over the public hangings in Iraq of Jews and others accused of spying for Israel was unanimously adopted by the Connecticut House of Representatives and forwarded to the United Nations and to President Nixon. The resolution was offered by Rep. Morris N. Cohen, of Bloomfield, Conn. Dr. Cohen contrasted the secret trials and mass executions in Iraq with the open trial now under way in Los Angeles of Sirhan B. Sirhan, the young Jordanian immigrant accused of assassinating Sen. Robert F. Kennedy.
