text: Haven't shot roll film for like 6 months, since I've gotten into 4x5. This is a fresh roll of Ilford Delta 100. Chemicals are fresh. Developed in Arista at 65 Degrees for 7 minutes, stop for 1 minute, fix for 5. It's not dried yet, sure not sure how it's going to scan or print, or if it's even possible. Does Ilford Delta look like this when it's properly shot, and developed? I have some Ultra EDU 100, that developed fine just like 4 days ago.. Clear film rebate, and neg's looked like they usually do.. Any ideas? -

The Pontiac GTO is an automobile that was built by Pontiac Division of General Motors from 1964 to 1974. The first generation GTO was a muscle car classic of the 1960s and 1970s era. Although there were earlier muscle cars, the Pontiac GTO is considered by some to have started the trend with all four domestic automakers offering a variety of competing models. Car Life tested a 1965 GTO with Tri-Power and what they considered the most desirable options (close-ratio four-speed manual transmission, power steering, metallic brakes, rally wheels, 4.11 limited-slip differential, and Rally Gauge Cluster), with a total sticker price of US$3,643.79. With two testers and equipment aboard, they recorded 0–60 miles per hour (0–97 km/h) in 5.8 seconds, the standing quarter mile in 14.5 seconds with a trap speed of 100 miles per hour (160 km/h), and an observed top speed of 114 miles per hour (182.4 km/h) at the engine's 6,000 rpm redline. A four-barrel Motor Trend test car, a heavier convertible handicapped by the two-speed automatic transmission and the lack of a limited slip differential, ran 0–60 mph in 7 seconds and through the quarter mile in 16.1 seconds at 89 miles per hour (142.4 km/h). -Wikipedia

'Spitfire' replica to be feature of 2015 show
ONE of the most iconic fighter planes of the Second World War will be pride of place at next year's Military Tattoo in Listowel as a group of local enthusiasts set about realising an ambitious plan to build a replica Spitfire from scratch.
The Spitfire, which is to be made mostly of wood, will be displayed in the centre of the Square for the duration of the 2015 Listowel Military Tattoo and, even though it won't take off it is set to take the weekend to an even higher level.
Organisers are now putting the finishing touches to this year's event, which is set to bring hundreds of battle scene re-enactors and enthusiasts back to the Square for two days of pitched World War II style battles.
Listowel has fast become the prime Irish location for the military re-enactment enthusiasts who are allowed use the town square and St John's Church for the mock gunfights.
"St John's is the real attraction for them as it has the sense of a small Belgian town church about it, making it perfect for the re-enactments," Military Tattoo organiser Denis O'Carroll said.
But one of the really exciting things about the group's current plans is the construction of the replica Spitfire in time for the 2015 celebration.
"It was an idea by model-maker Pádraig Nolan to build a full-size replica Spitfire. We were originally hoping to have it ready for this year but the big storm provided the carpenters taking part with too much work!" said Denis.
The group have the blueprints and a large workshop - courtesy of Listowel Town Council - ready to go and it's now just a question of cutting out the frames for the famous plane. "It will be exactly the same as the original Spitfires, which were made of wood and covered in canvass and Irish linen. In fact some of the pilots said these were the best as the bullets just whizzed straight through the fuselage rather than sending shrapnel flying everywhere."
The Irish Air Corps is also very interested in the project and it is hoped that a Spitfire Merlin engine - a 27-litre monster - that's currently in the aviation museum in Baldonnell might be loaned for display in Listowel next to the wooden model.
Meanwhile, all are hoping for another fantastic weekend at this year's tatoo, which starts on Saturday, May 3, and runs until Monday, May 5.
"Listowel needs something like this and the interest it's attracting to town is phenomenal. Everyone gets a boost out of it and the boutiques told us it was one of their best weekends last year as the men watched the action and the women went shopping!" Denis added.
Staff from 10 embassies in Ireland will attend and all are delighted to welcome the beautiful Bombshell Belles back to town as well, a trio of singers performing the hits of the WWII era.

My suggestion is to increase the confidence of the taxpayer.A taxpayer who is confident that the government is not going to waste his money will be far less reluctant to part with his money knowing that his money is going to be well-managed and well spent. I am sure that people will pay more taxes and more people will be willing to come into the tax network, i e. tax evasion will decrease and tax compliance will increase. However, when the taxpayer is of the opinion that his money is not being well-managed and well spent and that his money is being wasted, he will be most reluctant and unwilling to part with his hard earned wage. More people will contemplate the evading tax and the evading the tax net. I know this is really Mickey Mouse stuff and will probably be scoffed at. Nevertheless, I assure you that if you introduce measures to plug the holes and to get your colleagues to re-embrace the high moral values and standards that were once held by the leadership of your comrades, (you will see real results).

From the mid-1950s on, the Highway Trust Fund pretty much cruised along, collecting the excise tax tacked on to each gallon of gas sold in the U.S. to pay for ribbons of new roads and soaring bridges.
In the last few years, however, the fund has been depleted by falling revenues and rising costs for infrastructure projects, a one-two punch that has forced the federal government to tap billions in general fund dollars to cover the fund's expenses.
In Washington, D.C., there have been proposals to boost the 18.4 cent tax on fuel, and the 24.4 cents for diesel, or try a new approach to return the fund to solvency, such as levying a national sales tax on fuel purchases or imposing a "pay-per-mile" tax.
But each of those potential solutions has drawbacks, both economically and politically, making an easy answer for the fund's structural woes elusive.
"That's going to be one of the key issues my committee is going to have to deal with this year," said Ron Roberts, a Temecula councilman and the newly appointed chairman of the National League of Cities' Transportation Infrastructure & Services Committee.
Roberts, a member of the Temecula council since 1992 who also has served on a number of regional transportation committees, said one of the main issues plaguing the fund is the increase in the number of fuel-efficient and electric vehicles.
"The whole country runs on the gas tax, but people don't use gas anymore," he said. "There has to be a change."
John Horsley, the outgoing executive director of the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials, recently proposed scrapping the excise tax in favor of an 8.4 percent sales tax on fuel purchases and a 10.6 percent sales tax for diesel.
Provided the price of gas continues to rise in coming years, that sales tax would end up collecting billions in additional revenue -- $43 billion over six years, according to an association projection -- that would be used to keep the fund solvent and pay for construction projects that produce jobs.
Putting that figure into context, the fund has taken in roughly $35 billion a year since 2008 and doled out about $40 billion, with transfers from the U.S. general fund making up the difference, according to the Congressional Budget Office.
Horsley acknowledged that there may be some people on the Hill wary of proposing a new tax -- the Republican caucus in particular -- but he said opponents could be sold on the idea by focusing on its positive attributes: reducing the deficit, allowing the fund to pay its own way, sustaining jobs and ensuring the solvency of the fund.
"This is the underpinning of everything else," he said.
One of the problems with that idea, however, is that it would create large swings in revenues tied to the price of fuel, which could end up cratering if new domestic production of oil boosts supply and refineries end up turning it into gasoline.
Roberts said a "pay-per-mile" tax -- provided a politically palpable formula is devised -- would be much more consistent, because the number of miles driven each year is relatively stable.
"And it's fair," he said.
As for the urgency of finding a solution, Roberts said it's very real.
"The country's roads are falling apart," he said. "We're so far behind in fixing roads ... the roads being repaired right now should have been repaired 10 years ago."
In March, Roberts' committee is scheduled to convene and he said they would begin to hash out ideas for a league position on the matter.
In addition, the committee plans to tackle the nuts-and-bolts logistics of high-speed rail projects, a priority of both President Barack Obama and California Gov. Jerry Brown, and a host of other issues related to aviation, railroads and ports that affect the nation's cities.
"It's going to keep me busy," Roberts said.

Random Restarts, No error messages
So I recently built my computer and after some set backs with the SSD and Ram I thought I finally had it working. But I am now getting random reboots, no blue screen, no error messages. The system just shuts off and turns back on.
All the parts of the computer are less than 2 months old and for the most part have only been running for probably like 48 max over those 2 months.
So 1 stick of ram is already bad I know that, it fails the mem86+ tests right away. The other sticks passes, when the test can finish, and is currently what I am using. I did not have this issue to start with. I think it started right after I attempted to move all my crap off of C:\ (my ssd) over to E:\ (WD hdd). I did this as I didnt want all the crap that windows installs on my SSD as I never use it and its just wasting expensive space. I basically just moved both program file folders over to E:\ and changed registry values to tell it that E:\Program Files and E:\Program Files (x86) are where they were, and set the default install directory to those also. So I am thinking that might be the issue but I am not really sure if this started before or after that. I believe most of my drivers are up to date. My Bios is not but with it randomly restarting I am scared to attempt a BIOS update. I did a Lot of registry cleaning using, CCleaner, Registry Mechanic, and AUSLogics BoostSpeed. After I did that it seems to have stop just randomly shutting down while idling. But It still shuts down while playing games. So far not while I am typing this yet.
It shouldnt be a heat issue as my computer hasnt even gotten above 115 degrees. And it was doing this while idling at 90 degrees.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

sounds a bit dodgy to just move all that stuff over in the first place - never mind the registry changes, which is also a very difficult thing to do successfully..
from what you describe, I would say that you may have messed up the OS install..
- do you have disks etc to do a complete format and re-install of Windows7..??
- you must keep certain files on the SSD, along with the OS..
you can easily move some of the "heavier" stuff over onto the HD, simply by adjusting the library settings,
but to simply move files over is a bit dangerous, as the OS will lose it's way very quickly..
|My System Specs
|18 May 2011
is it possible that because it cant find some of the files, it just shuts down? I mean I can see getting errors when it cant find a file, but not just shutting down. I may end up just reformatting and reinstalling and see if that helps. Unless anyone has any ideas.
Thanks for the help,

OK So I just formatted and did a clean install and while I was in the middle of posting here asking about how to do all the install directory change stuff correctly it shutdown, again. I did a clean install, Installed all the drivers from my MOBO disk and Windows updated 3 files on its own, one was the gfx card drivers i dont know what the other two are. So I dont think what I did broke it. These are the files after that first crash on the fresh install.
I am going to run windows update as much as it wants and see if that fixes it.
Edit: Installing updates seems like it made it worse. It cant even get through all the updates before it shuts down. I am assuming it has to be a piece of hardware that is bad but I dont know how to check which piece or what would cause it. I have run memtest86+ on my ram and when it is able to get through the test without restarting it does pass.
Thanks for any help,

Ok So I did another format and install this time I am not installing any drivers or updates. So far it is running ok but it has only been a little bit so Ill see if it crashes without me updating anything. If it doesn't I am assuming that a driver is the issue, which I am hoping. If it does crash I would assume that pretty much means its a hardware issue but how would I know what piece of hardware is responsible?
Thanks for the help,

Well I have had it freeze on me 5 times now and 1 restart. So it is restarting less now, but its freezing. The one time it froze is when I just started opening every single program I could find on my computer to kind of test the ram in a none scientific way. It froze some where around 35% ram. Then I did it again and had no response and was at 40%. Then I tried running prime95, I ran it for the first 20 tests on short and it passed, but then I tried that again and it froze at some point but my screens shut off so i couldnt wake them up and I dont know how long it ran. I tested it one more time on short and it froze 2 min into the test. I also tried the Blend test and that one freezes almost immediately, tried that twice. As of right now It is a fresh install of W7 64bit home premium, I installed the intel LAN driver and the Radeon 6950 drivers from XFX website. Other then that I have installed nothing else, no windows updates, no drivers, nothing. The one freeze was before I installed any drivers. The other 4 freezes and the restart were after. But so far I havent had it restart or freeze while just idling, only while taxing the system. I have previously done memtest86+ and when it makes it through the test without restarting it does pass.
EDIT: Attached most recent logs. I will try letting windows update run tomorrow and see if that fixes things, instead of installing drivers from the disks.
Right now I am completely out of ideas. Ill take what ever help I can get.
Finished all windows 7 updates except SP1. Still having the Issue, I am attaching the newest log files after W7 updates were all done. I am in the process of running verifier, SFdiagnostics, memtest86+, and prime95 again. Will post results after they are completed.
|My System Specs
|21 May 2011
So I ran all the tests last night, im uploading the results from sfdaignostics, however it didnt find any dump files. I ran prime95 it ran for 2.5 hours on the short test with out problems. I stopped it and started to run the long test and within a minute my computer froze. I rebooted and tried running it one more time, and it restarted on its own. I then ran memtest86+ it passed one pass. Then at some point into the second pass it restarted. I let it run again on its own for a while and when I went to check on it it seemed as though it had froze, it was making no progress and wouldnt respond to my input but the little "+" in the top left corner after MemTest86 was still blinking so I dont know if it really did freeze or it was just ignoring me.
While Re running memtest again I realized it reported my ram as 6-6-6-20 instead of 9-9-9-24 like it is suppose to be. So I went into my BIOS to see and everything is set to Auto, but then I realized that it said my Ram was running at 1.65V when it should be running at 1.5V. Should I tell it to drop the voltage from 1.65 to 1.5? And should I turn off auto on all my timings and set them to what the manufacterer says they are?
Any help would be appreciated,
Thank You,

I checked EventViewer and realized I have an obsence, at least to me, number of .net runtime errors. I attached a copy of them. I think it is like 1061 errors. I have also used Intels CPU diagnostic and it passes on the normal test with out a problem so far. It looked like it was going to pass the long test, but then the computer froze with 5 min left in the 2 hour test. I also still need to know if I should be worrying about my Ram voltage and if I should lower it to 1.5V and manually set the timing on the Ram.
Thanks for any input,

I recently discovered a house that from its appearance could be an excellent wholesale/rehabber deal. I have found the owners name and address. The owner lives in the house. Below is a copy of a letter I set to her recently and would appreciate any comments.
Dear Home Owner:
I was driving around in your area and noticed your house and was wondering if you might be interested in discussing selling your house. One of the areas we work in is buying houses that need some repair and rehabbing the property to improve its appearance and value.
I am local real estate investor working with a group that buys properties in the greater metropolitan area. We are able to buy properties quickly for cash and usually can close within 30 days or less.
The typical process is that we start with a preliminary discussion over the phone to obtain some basic information. If that conversation is mutually agreeable that we arrange for me to come by and take a look at your home to get a better understanding of its condition and what repairs might be needed. Then we can work toward a fair selling price for your home.
If you are interested you can either provide me with a phone number where you can be reached. Or if you prefer you can call me @ 225-555-5555 or email me: email@example.com

First Look: Wacom on OS XOS X 10.1 brings functionality to pressure-sensitive tablets
Version 10.1 of Mac OS X, which was released this weekend, has altered the whole situation. Aside from matching my performance and functionality needs, it has also added increased support for third-party input devices, including graphics tablets. To coincide with the 10.1 release, Wacom has made available a beta driver for all of its USB tablets at its Web site (http://www.wacom.com).
Does it live up to my needs?
At first I thought the driver was a dud. I loaded it up, and all I got was inconsistent, jittery input. I thought I was going to have to go back to OS 9 again. However, I love OS X, and I wanted to make it work, so I decided to play around with it a little before giving up.
It was worth it. I found a very simple fix for the tablet's propensity to stutter and jitter, bringing full functionality (including pressure and tilt) to my tablet, and therefore full functionality to OS X. Here's what you need to do.
1. Open up the Wacom Tablet application, which is installed in your startup volume's Applications folder. By default, the tablet is set to support "All Applications." However, this is the problem. What you need to do (just with this beta release) is to select individual applications.
The OS X-native Wacom Tablet application closely resembles the Wacom Control Panel in OS 9.
2. So first create the settings you want in the "All Applications" settings window.
3. Now click the the "Add Application to List" button located in the upper right of the application window. This will call up a list of currently running applications, as well as a button for browsing for applications that are not currently running.
4. Click the "Browse" button, and select all of the applications you want the tablet to function correctly in. You should also include the Finder and the Wacom Tablet application itself. (The Finder is located in Macintosh HD/System/Library/CoreServices.)
All of the applications you choose will inherit the settings you previously defined for "All Applications>" Nothing further is needed, and you should now experience trouble-free operation of your tablet.

There were plenty of signs popping up all around the Georgia Dome for the national championship.
Some of them witty. Some of them cruel. Most of them funny.
One sign helped up by a Michigan fan featured a picture of Glenn Robinson III, whose father was a star player at Purdue. It was accompanied by the words, "Daddy never did that!" - as in, the "Big Dog" never played for a national championship with the Boilermakers.
A few sections over, a Louisville fan held up a similar looking sign - it was on yellow cardstock, too - with a picture of former Wolverines star Chris Webber. But the words pasted onto it carried a much different tone: "Timeouts left: -1."
Don't get the joke? Ask a Michigan fan.

Heineken close to announcing sponsorship deal for European Cup
November 11, 1999
A record four year deal has apparently been struck which will see Heineken returning as sponsors of the European Cup, according to reports in England's Daily Mail.
The report goes on to suggest that England's six qualifiers will expect to earn £800,000 each. The return of the brewery as sponsor will help raise the sponsorship and television revenue to more than £70m over four years.

That's according to a recent study from Stanford's Center for Internet and Society. While Congress wrestles with online privacy legislation, the status quo is that companies self-regulate how they track users online. Several months ago, some of these self-regulating groups announced they'd use and Advertising Option Icon to let users know whether the site they're on is tracking them or not. Stanford's report finds that 12.5% of the companies in the study are leaving their tracking cookies on even after users try to turn them off. A violation of their policy. While the House holds a hearing Thursday about online privacy, it's unclear whether any lawmaking will actually get done.

Legal Question in Personal Injury in North Carolina
My car was hit by a car that rolled of a hill while at the dealers waiting to be fixed. One of the employee's left another car outta gear and hit my car... I still owe 10k for my car, this will bring the value down (carfax) it was about 6k worth of damage... What shall I ask for , anything above repair ? Or any suggestions ?
1 Answer from Attorneys
You can get the cost of repairs for the damage that the rolling car caused to your car, the reasonable value for the loss of use of your car while it was being repaired (usually the insurer will arrange fro a rental vehicle for you) and diminished value.
It does not matter what you owe on your car; it matters what it was worth and what damage was done. If the cost to fix your car is 75% of the fair market value of the vehicle, then the insurer will only pay for what the car is worth. The car will be considered a total loss. If the car is driveable and you think you can get it fixed for what they are paying or less, you may want to let them total the car, buy it back for salvage, get it fixed and drive it forever until the wheels fall off as it will have a branded (salvage) title. Of course, you will still owe the balance on the loan which you will have to keep paying. Otherwise, you would have to have the insurer pay your car lender, be without wheels or buy yourself a a cheap used car, and then pay off any balance remaining on the old wrecked car. It isn't fair, but that is the way it is.
If the cost to fix the car is less than 75% of the fair market value, then the car will be repaired and you will get a rental vehicle to compensate you for the loss of use of your car (or the equivalent monetary value). You can also ask for diminished value. You have 30 days after the repairs are done to get the dealer to certify what your car would have been worth as a trade-in unwrecked versus what it is now worth since it was repaired. The difference between the 2 figures is diminished value.

A growing number of people are not upgrading their skills because of rising student fees.
Federal Government statistics show a serious decline in the number of domestic postgraduate degree and diploma places at universities between 1996 and 2001, including in essential services such as nursing.
And the Department of Education, Science and Training's latest higher education report reveals a dramatic rise in the number of domestic postgraduate coursework places funded by upfront fees.
In 1996 there were 44,700 places in Masters degrees and postgraduate diplomas by coursework. By 2001 that figure had dropped by 15.5 per cent to 37,800.
During the same time, according to the Higher Education Report for 2003 to 2005 Triennium, the number of places funded under the Higher Education Contribution Scheme (HECS) fell from 69 per cent in 1996 to 33 per cent in 2001.
In 2001 more than 66 per cent of those places - typically costing between $10,000 and $20,000 a year - charged an upfront fee.
Yesterday the federal Education Minister, Brendan Nelson, was unavailable for comment.
The acting Labor leader, Jenny Macklin, said that the future skills-base was being threatened by the Federal Government's higher education policy.
"More than ever we need to encourage people to update and renew their skills, instead of cutting places and forcing students to pay deregulated fees," she said.
"The Government's proposals for undergraduate education are based on the postgraduate model of deregulated and upfront fees. The Government's postgraduate policies have seen a drop in the number of Australian postgraduate coursework students. It's logical that the same policies at an undergraduate level will also mean a drop in undergraduate students."
Past president of the Council of Australian Postgraduate Associations, Leisa Ridges, said students now incurred a significant debt to further their education.
"Dr Nelson's medical cocktail of no additional government funds and ever-increasing student debt has the already obvious contra indications of diminishing postgraduate enrolments and Australia's place in the global knowledge economy," she said.
Ms Macklin said the report also showed the Government's new loan scheme for postgraduates had got off to a shaky start, highlighting the reluctance of students to take on large debts to study.
Less than a quarter of eligible students had taken a loan under the Postgraduate Education Loans Scheme (PELS) introduced last year, she said.

Australian filmmaker Maya Newell gave one of the best responses I've ever seen to the mistaken assertion that all kids need a mother and a father.
Newell, who has two moms, is director of the upcoming documentary Gayby Baby, which I mentioned (with trailer!) a couple of weeks ago. Writing in Australia's Daily Life, she says that she has often been asked, "Do you miss not having a father?" She observes:
Kids need a mother and a father only so long as we keep those roles quarantined and artificially separated into rigid, airtight compartments. In this day and age it is safe to say that dads have resilience that enables them to do what mums do, and vice versa for mums. . . .
Fortunately, in my house, family is not defined by biology or gender stereotypes. I have learned this from two mothers that have taught me that women can be whatever they want to be, and that there are countless, exciting and powerful ways to 'do' femininity.
The whole piece is a great read—and I'm delighted once again that she's getting such good publicity for the film.
It's funny. My own nine-year-old son and I were talking the other day about his teacher's request that all children bring in a book for a holiday book exchange, and that it be appropriate "for either a boy or a girl." He said that was silly, since books could be for anyone. He then paused and reflected that perhaps that was why some people didn't want two women or two men to marry. He explained, "They think that if two men marry, they'll both go to work and no one will take care of the kids, or if two women marry, they'll both take care of the kids and no one will earn any money."
Yup. Much of the opposition to same-sex parents boils down to an inability to come to grips with the women's equality movement. Kudos to Newell for continuing to highlight that message. It makes opponents of our families look even more behind the times, and gives me hope for the world into which my son will grow.

Trapped Under Ice
Character Creation
To make a character, it's a good thought to have an idea, no matter how vague, of what you want to be. Consult with the GM about the setting, useful skills, and available races.
Races The first step is to pick a race for your character. Each race description details how to roll up a character of that race. Each race has special abilities unique to that race. The description also gives a general outline of how that particular race is viewed within the world, and how they generally view others.
Character Classes The second step is choosing a Class. A class is simply a tool to focus your character's skills and abilities. There are a variety of classes available, each with its own unique abilities and, in some cases, special powers.
Goals Every character needs goals. Here are guidelines on how to pick some.
Equipment The third step is buying equipment. Each class starts with no equipment, but an amount of starting cash to use to buy equipment. Essentially, your character starts out with some underwear and a bag of gold! The starting amount of money is purposely low, because were is the fun in starting out with cool stuff?
Religion Choosing a religion isn't a neccesary step in character creation except for the Acolyte and Shaman. However, any character can choose to follow a religion, as the vast majority of people in this world do. On rare occasions, the gods may look favorably on their loyal followers.
Skills This is the master skill list. Consult with the Game Master about skills particularly suited to the campaign and/or your character.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Lawn Mowing Equipment' started by greenology, Jul 18, 2013.
Nope. It just says what I posted above every time.
Looks to be doing a great job for the length of grass, more or less slashing I guess. How are you finding the suspension, enjoying the ride quality? Apart from the seating position with those long lanky legs haha
Appears as though the 36 will be a little thirsty, I was expecting that. Ill try get some gph figures after a get a few more hrs on it. Hard to be accurate though as the Ferris hr meter only clicks over while blades are running. I load/unload mower every day, often getting off to move things etc so some fuel is used up there. Guess I will compensate a little for that.
Good view Ed. It shows the discharge pattern coming out the the chute and it is mainly concentrated at the front. That is the same way my MOD deck does, which is no surprise. If you look at them side by side from underneath, they are as close as two peas in a pod in overall design. Yours is a bit more open though as I have two adjustable baffles at the rear between blades. Even with them removed it is a bit tighter baffled than the ICD, but very close.
You know you're cutting some thick tough stuff when you can bring that 36 down of normal RPM's like that.
I can't get it either Greenology. It takes me to a log in page.
I hope not to make a habit of cutting stuff like that but no doubt I will have to occasionally.
Greenology, I'm going to have a hard time getting back on my old mower. 2 little coils under the seat just won't do any more.
You guys are making me soooo jealous.
Not sure if this will be any different.
That link works. I know it must be an optical illusion,but those passes looked as fast as puppy's did on his SZ. You may not be going as fast, but you darn sure aren't all that far behind either.
I was quite impressed at the finish of the lawn afterwards. The VX4 left some ugly clumps on this place, even with only 4 weeks of winter growth!
The African love grass tussocks (of which I had to Google pictures of) must be very difficult to cut, there is not much that will drop the rpms on a 32 Vanguard, much less a 36, and I could hear it wanting a little help occasionally.
The ICD deck cuts in a manner I would consider to be as good as any deck on the market today. Your discharge pattern looks good, and it's definitely moving it out and spreading really well for what it's dealing with.
Cutting where you hear the governor activated like the video is where the gph average is on the rise, you will never hear the governor activate in normal cutting. I have all ideas that engine would get into the 2.25 gph + range with no problem in hard cutting, but will guess 1.9 to 2.0 will be the norm.
Hopefully you and Green can get some good numbers in different type cutting.
I've always believed after running a 3100, if I could not utilize the faster speed of a Super Z, I would more than likely be running a Ferris 3100.
I've talked with Briggs and they tell me they are working very hard on an efi system and realize fuel consumption needs to be lowered. They also made the statement, "we will not release a system until we are satisfied it gives the best efi has to offer, and with trouble free operation."
I will try and touch base with them next week to see how their efi system is progressing.

It's the three-man team within the special teams, and yesterday they were rewarded.
Although it officially goes down as Sandro DeAngelis as the CFL's all-star placekicker, the man getting all the glory gives the credit to his snapper and holder.
"I don't just say it to be a nice guy," DeAngelis said about snapper Randy Chevrier and holder Brett Ralph.
"This isn't lip service. I've worked with the same guys for three years and we work so smoothly together.
"Those guys face the same pressure situations. It may be pressure for me, but they don't want to mess up either. To have Chevy, who played in the NFL, and to have Brett, who was a shortstop in baseball, I have a true love for what they do."
There is no all-star recognition for holder or snapper, but if there was, Chevrier and Ralph would be frontrunners.
The trio hasn't messed up one field-goal attempt this season and helped DeAngelis to a 86.2% efficiency for the most points in the CFL (217).
"A little bit of what we did helped him get there, but Sandro has to kick it," Chevrier said. "We're the ones who support him, and I have to deliver a good snap.
"But kicking a field goal is a whole other beast. He deserves it. We take pride in seeing Sandro get the awards he does because he deserves it."
The amazing thing about this team is how long they've been together.
None of the players has missed time due to injury since they all joined the Stampeders in 2005.
Ralph was the backup holder the first season, as veteran receiver Mike Juhasz did the job, and took over in 2006 spring training.
The trio hits the field long before practice to work on their form.
DeAngelis and Ralph are tied for the team's current iron-man streak, while Chevrier only sat out the season finale last year as backup Pat MacDonald took over.
Being that Ralph is now a starting receiver, his ability to stay in every game is that much more impressive.
Most teams use a backup quarterback to ensure the holder doesn't get hurt, but it isn't a problem for the durable Ralph.
"You don't have this situation often when you have the same kicker, snapper and holder for so many years," said Ralph. "We've been able to work together every morning for three years. We've been able to learn each other's tendencies.
Although DeAngelis says his 'team' has thankless jobs, both Chevrier and Ralph love doing it.
"It's a job I've enjoyed," Ralph said. "Chevy makes it a lot easier than a lot of guys do. He's an extremely consistent snapper.
"Sandro makes it easy. Sometimes, when you spin the ball the wrong way or don't get the laces out, he is one guy who deals with that and puts it through the pipes.
"There are times when you put the ball down and don't see the laces. If you don't see them, you assume they are out of the way.
"Sandro just prefers the ball not to be spinning when he's kicking it. He would rather kick laces than having it turning when he's ready to make contact."
Chevrier has spent four seasons with the Stamps and another two with the Eskimos, plus three in the NFL.
But he still has anxiety heading onto the field.
"Every time," Chevrier said about those butterflies. "I take a deep breath. As nervous as I get, I remind myself that I've never messed one up since I've been here and before. There's no reason to believe this one will be messed up."

23:10 IST: Chennai Super Kings have won by 13 runs and they keep alive their chances of a semi-final berth alive. Ashwin was the pick of the bowlers with 3/20 off four overs. Nehra picked up 2/27.
22:58 IST: WICKET! Turner is run out and the curtains are almost down on Perth, who are 123/6 off 18 overs, chasing 156 vs Chennai Super Kings.
22:35 IST: WICKET! It's another one down; Perth have lost half their side as Nehra picks up his second, seeing off Adam Voges for 27. The Scorchers are 73/5 off 12.3 overs and are in desperate need of a blistering knock down the order.
22:30 IST: WICKET! Third scalp for Ashwin as he snares Whiteman for 5; Perth are in all sorts of trouble, chasing 156 vs Chennai. The Aussies are 68/4 off 11.3 overs, chasing 156.
22:20 IST: WICKET! But Marsh is unable to capitalise as he holds out in the deep off the bowling of Ashwin, who has picked up his second wicket of the match. Perth 55/3 off 10 overs.
22:14 IST: Hastings had Marsh caught by Dhoni BUT it's a front-foot no-ball. What a moment in the game. Marsh gets a free-hit.
22:12 IST: John Hastings has replaced Mohit Sharma in the attack. Perth are struggling and they are well beyond the required rate but with Mitch Marsh still in the middle, anything is possible.
22:07 IST: Chennai have knocked off two dangerous batsmen but they cannot afford to relax yet with Mitchell Marsh at the crease. His unbeaten 40 off 26 balls against the Dolphins gave the Scorchers a sensational win a few days back. Dhoni & Co. have to watch out for Junior Marsh here.
21:56 IST: WICKET! R Ashwin has joined the party for the Super Kings; he has removed the dangerous Ashton Agar for four as Perth slip to 26/2 off four overs.
21:49 IST: WICKET! Nehra has struck early again as CJ Simmons departs for 13. Perth 18/1 off 2.4 overs chasing 156 vs Chennai Super Kings.
21:26 IST: That's a massive score in these conditions. Chennai finish with 155/6 in their 20 overs, thanks to late-order cameos from Jadeja (44 not out) and Dhoni (35).
21:21 IST: WICKET! MS Dhoni falls for 35 off 16 balls and that's a great effort for the Super Kings.
21:18 IST: Dhoni smashes three successive sixes off Yasir Arafat as Chennai race away to 142/5 off 19 overs. This is some serious aggression from the Chennai captain at the back-end of the innings.
21:11 IST: Dhoni and Jadeja have started fighting back for Chennai Super Kings with a brisk stand for the sixth wicket. CSK 118/5 off 18 overs.
21:04 IST: SIX! Dhoni carts Yasir Arafat for a huge one as Chennai seek to up the ante against Perth. This is good, aggressive batting from the skipper, who has decided it is time to explode.
20:58 IST: WICKET! Poor batting by Chennai so far and it gets worse as Bravo falls to Turner for 27. CSK are 79/5 in 14.3 overs after being asked to bat by CSK.
20:54 IST: Both Jadeja and Bravo, two of the cleanest striker of the ball in world cricket, are all at sea against a 43-year-old left-arm spinner. Brad Hogg is still a master. CSK 69/4 off 14 overs.
20:45 IST: WICKET! Brad Hogg strikes to remove Mithun Manhas, who had taken some time for his 18 and CSK are 56/4 off 11.1 overs vs Perth.
20:43 IST: CSK have to get a move-on somehow. After 11 overs, they are 56/3 and time is running out quickly.
20:36 IST: Dwayne Smith needs to play a big innings here; then there are the likes of Dhoni and Jadeja to follow and Chennai can still hope for a big total.
20:28 IST: WICKET! Another big one down for the Super Kings. Yasir Arafat has snared Dwayne Smith for 11 and CSK are reeling at 33/3 in 5.3 overs. This is a great effort from Perth Scorchers first up.
20:19 IST: Chennai 23/2 after four overs with Mithun Manhas and Smith in the middle. Perth will be fancying their chances of restricting the star-studded Super Kings to a modest total.
20:16 IST: WICKET! This is disaster for Chennai Super Kings as Suresh Raina is run out for 1. Chennai 16/2 off 2.5 overs after being asked to bat by Perth.
20:12 IST: WICKET! Big blow for CSK, who have lost birthday boy Brendon McCullum for 11 to Paris. Chennai Super Kings are 15/1 off 2.3 overs as Suresh Raina joins Dwayne Smith in the middle.
20:04 IST: Chennai openers Smith and McCullum will look to get off to a quick start here; they are 9/0 after the first over.
19:53 IST: This is going to be an exciting clash between two very good sides. Chennai are missing the explosive Faf du Plessis due to illness and that is a bit of a blow for them but the IPL side have enough firepower to put up a big total on the board.
19:35 IST: Perth Scorechers won the toss and elected to bowl against Chennai Super Kings in a must-win game for both sides. Two changes for CSK; while John Hastings replaces an unwell Faf du Plessis, Mithun Manhas has come in for Ishwar Pandey. Perth have brought in Michael Beer as an extra spinner.
Left disappointed after their Group A match of the Champions League Twenty20 was washed off without a single ball being bowled against Lahore Lions, Chennai Super Kings would be looking to shut out Perth Scorchers on Saturday to book their last-four spot.
The Mahendra Singh Dhoni-led team stays on second spot with six points in three games, after getting two from Thursday's match, while Lahore had registered their first points on board after losing their opening encounter to table-toppers Kolkata Knight Riders.

Skipper MS Dhoni's Life to be made into a movie
A special treat awaits fans of Mahendra Singh Dhoni. A biopic on the life of the cricketer is all set for a 2015 release with actor Sushant Singh Rajput playing the lead role. The first poster of the film was tweeted by Dhoni's wife Sakshi.
An excited Sakshi took to Twitter to share the first poster of the film MS Dhoni - The Untold Story. "Clearing out all those rumours being carried out past few days.It was all false.. Here you go ....BOOM !!!" she wrote on the micro-blogging site. The tweet received a good response from her followers - a clear sign that fans of the Indian cricket captain can't wait to see his life on the big screen.
Can Chennai Exploit 'Home' Advantage?
Chennai Super Kings coach Stephen Fleming said his team team would like to play good cricket to get into the semifinals of Champions League T20 and added that it looked to take maximum advantage of playing at one venue instead of travelling across the country.
"Being in one place is an advantage. You are usually travelling and bouncing all over the country, but we need to make most of this advantage," he told reporters at the pre-match press conference at the Chinnaswamy stadium here.

Zuma says this is because God has made a connection between the government and the church, IOL reports.
Addressing the 33rd Presbyterian Synod in Giyani, Limpopo, on Sunday, Zuma went on to say that "If you don't respect those in leadership, if you don't respect authority then you are bordering on a curse."
Zuma urged the church to pray for politicians who insult leaders.
"Because if you allow them to insult those in authority, you are creating a society that is angry with itself," said Zuma.
Julius Malema, leader of the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF), and the DA's Lindiwe Mazibuko have led the pack of opposition leaders who question Zuma's leadership and morality.
Malema had previously called Zuma a "morally bankrupt" leader who lacks direction and marries wives every year while in June, Mazibuko said Zuma had not earned her respect because he, among other things, built a "palace" for himself in Nkandla and failed to honour his promises.

PROVO — BYU punt returner JD Falslev's last day of summer work came on Thursday. In the hot June and July sun, he gathered range balls and took care of the carts at Sleepy Ridge Golf Course in Orem for 15 to 20 hours a week.
In a few days, he'll return to what the Cougars pay him to do with tuition, books, scholarship checks, Nike gear, shoes, per diem money on road trips and all the accessories that come with playing major college football.
Falslev's summer job gave him some pocket change and might buy him some school clothes — if that.
I bet there are some folks in Provo who'd buy Falslev lunch or a round of golf if he'd just hang out with them and talk football now that camp starts next week.
But that is a no-no. He is an amateur college football player.
Is amateurism dead?
In the Olympic Games, which began its latest edition this week in London, it has been dead for a long time with inclusion of professional athletes.
In the NCAA, amateurism tries to live on.
And it's kind of a joke.
The idea floats along in the NCAA with a misused ideal that bucks U.S. labor laws. It rides high on the spine of a set of rules as thick as a telephone book to control and inhibit athletes so their abilities can be cornered, marketed and sold by the school.
NCAA rules are designed to restrict what football and basketball players can do with their own image, reputation and skills — as the NCAA and universities then collect all the money from gate receipts and TV contracts for themselves.
For half a century, the Olympics held onto an idea that only amateurs could compete in the Games. Purists said if we paid athletes, the Games would topple within a decade.
Instead, what we witness in coming weeks is a billion-dollar extravaganza. It's never been more popular or successful, and TV networks clamor to bid for the rights to air the events.
It's time for the NCAA to allow its athletes to earn some of the spoils, according to Patrick Hruby of the Washington Times. He has some great points in a Friday piece titled "The Olympics Show Why College Sports Should Give Up on Amateurism."
If Michael Phelps is allowed to make a bundle of money off his Olympic exploits, why isn't a guy like Falslev or Utah defensive tackle Star Lotulelei, if some business is willing to pay them for appearances, photographs or autographs?
Because the NCAA doesn't allow it.
Nobody's saying colleges have to pay their athletes a salary aside from their education. But if a talent can draw a few shekels on the side, what's the harm?
The main problem, as I see it, is colleges would then get into bidding wars in recruiting by promising revenue arrangements by boosters or other businesses. The SEC, which some argue is doing that now, would have a heyday.
But isn't that free enterprise?
The clock may have just run out on the idea of pure amateurism. It doesn't exist. We do currently pay college players with expensive educations. We then restrict them from earning money by doing what Falslev did this summer, a part-time job picking up golf balls in a field.
In the article by Hruby, he takes us back to the beginnings of amateurism, a puritan idea hatched in old England.
"Specifically, snooty British elites who enjoyed rowing, winning and keeping the unwashed day-laboring masses at arm's length," is where the idea came from.
According to Olympic historian Bill Mallon, "Amateurism really started when the people who were rowing boats on the Thames for a living started beating all the rich British aristocrats. That wasn't right. So they started a concept of amateurism that didn't exist in ancient Greece, extending it more and more to the notion of being a gentleman, someone who didn't work for a living and only did sport as a hobby."
This idea was copied by Harvard, Yale and other American schools, which gave birth to college sports. Some historians say college sports and then the NCAA had its roots in this idea which had less to do with lofty purism of amateurism than it did with enforcing a social caste system.
No wonder, in the extreme, we have the father of former Auburn quarterback and Heisman Trophy winner Cam Newton allegedly shopping his son to colleges for $180,000.
BYU, Utah and Utah State wouldn't have to pay athletes; it wouldn't be a mandatory thing, if the NCAA let go of restrictions on athletes. It would be a matter of allowing them to be paid.
The argument against paying athletes is that education is somehow a high and lofty mission by universities and the athletes are part of the pomp and ceremony, Saturday's extra-curricular activities.
Ummmmm. Aren't we way past that with million-dollar TV contracts?
Professors get paid at universities. So do other students who have jobs as they study and get degrees. But it's almost comical how much the NCAA prohibits what a football or basketball player can do to benefit financially off his own talents.
I sat on press row this winter in the Marriott Center when Sacramento Kings rookie Jimmer Fredette sat in front of me. When a Nu Skin commercial came on the giant screen and showed a clip of him making a shot in a Cougar uniform, he turned to somebody and said, "How often do they play that?"
He had a good point.3 comments on this story
For making that shot, for wearing that uniform, for making that exciting moment, Nu Skin paid BYU money for airing that commercial, but Jimmer didn't receive a dime.
There was a long line of folks who made Jimmer money before Jimmer could.
It's like that all over the country on campuses from Westwood to Coral Gables.
What we have with amateurism in college sports today is hypocrisy and a lot of corruption. The numbers would be surprising if the truth were known of how many athletes are already receiving under the table compensation in one way or another.

PROUD dad Ronnie Smith knows there will be no card tomorrow from the son he loves.
Instead, there will be painful memories of Father's Day two years ago, when his son Brian suddenly and tragically died.
"I'll never get over losing my boy", the 55-year-old said.
"It's not something you go through, it's something we are going through and will stay with us forever."
Taxi driver Ronnie was relaxing at his Maryhill home, on Father's Day in 2012, when a knock on the door changed his life forever.
To his horror and disbelief, two policemen had arrived to tell him the worst news imaginable.
His 27-year-old son was dead.
Ronnie said: "He's never far from my thoughts.
"Brian never brought any trouble to our door. He was a good boy and a tremendous footballer.
"So I knew, as soon as I saw the police at my door that day, that something bad had happened to him.
"I didn't even need them to tell me. As soon as they said "Brian Smith" I knew my boy was gone."
Brian had collapsed and died at a friend's house. Since then, Brian's family, including his mother Anne and sister Claire, 32, have struggled to cope without him.
But the family is determined his memory will live on and want to help others.
Sitting in his living room, surrounded by pictures of Brian, Ronnie said: "We have Father's Day a week early in our house.
"Claire gives me a card the Sunday before. Father's Day isn't Father's Day for us anymore.
"And that's why I've organised a charity football match, to help me get through Sunday without Brian.
"It gives us something to concentrate on and, at the same time, help other people."
Ronnie has organised a memorial football match, at the John Paul Academy in Summerston, to raise cash for a Glasgow charity, the Teddy Bear Foundation.
It will take place at noon tomorrow and Ronnie wants as many people as possible to come along.Rangers fan Brian had been a promising young footballer, playing for a host of teams, including Clydebank Juniors FC and Albion Rovers.
One team of players, including "Budgie" McGhee, manager of Clydebank Juniors FC, will play against a select side of Brian's friends and family.
THE Smith family is also hosting a fundraising event after the match at Maryhill Juniors Club.
Ronnie said: "Brian was football mad. It was his life and it was my life too.
"We would travel all over Scotland as a family to watch him play with Albion Rovers.
"I don't know what to do with myself on a Saturday any more. I would always either be watching Brian play, or watching football on the telly with him.
"Sometimes I'll be sitting here, watching football, and I'll turn to say something to him about the match. But then I realise he's not there any more.
"It's the wee silly things that remind you and upset you.
"My emotions are up and down every day and I know it's always going to be like that from now on.
"It's just the way it has to be."
On the first anniversary of plumber Brian's death last year, the family hosted a similar event which raised £850 for the Teddy Bear Foundation.
The Glasgow-based charity offers support for special needs children across Scotland.
Karate instructor Ronnie hopes to raise even more cash this year.
A Teddy Bear Foundation spokesman said: "Brian's family have shown enormous courage in the way they have chosen to publicly remember their son.
"We are humbled that they have found it within themselves to help the Teddy Bear Foundation at the same time."
Ronnie said: "I wanted to do something to ensure Brian's memory continued, and he left a legacy.Raising cash for the Teddy Bear Foundation just seemed the right thing to do and a football match seemed the right way to do it.
"Brian was a brilliant footballer. What a player he was - truly outstanding.
"I used to watch him every match and couldn't believed his ability. His pace was incredible.
"Everyone always said he was a really gifted player.
"That's why it seemed right to get all his pals, the family, and boys he played with, together for a game.
"I think he'd be embarassed by all this and say 'Dad, what are you playing at?'
"But secretly, he would probably be quite chuffed."
Brian's memorial match kicks-off at noon tomorrow at the John Paul Academy in Summerston.

The reason why Haskell is academic-centric is that it was originally conceived by academics, and they were interested in doing research into language design and implementation and also had jobs to take care of and all of this doesn't leave much time for being a language evangelist or for figuring out what the practical issues might be (not to mention sleeping at night). People outside academia who might be inclined to take on some of those more practical questions are just beginning to notice that Haskell could be useful for them too. The reason this didn't happen earlier was that there was no marketing budget. It had to happen in a grassroots fashion, and IMO it couldn't have happened until after the rise of distributed open-source development (which, I remind you, didn't start gaining a lot of momentum until not that long ago). You could become one of those "new folk of thinkers". Be the change you wish to see.

***ETA- Enter the Total Gym XLS Giveaway HERE***
Well, it's been a minute since I posted an update about my Total Gym XLS. Please forgive me, things have been CRAZY busy around here! We went out of town for Independence Day, then we had a family reunion with family in from at least four states, and then my niece asked me for help with printing her wedding invitations… yup, CRAZY busy.
SO, what's up with my Total Gym? Judging from the "oh my wow's" and "Dang, you look great's" I got at the family reunion, my Total Gym XLS rocks pretty hard!
Here is a side by side photo comparison of what I looked like at the 2010 Family Reunion (photo on left) and the 2011 Family Reunion (photo on right).
Yup, I've changed a little! And yes, that is the same shirt. LOL.
While my Total Gym XLS totally rocks, unfortunately, I haven't been able to rock IT for about a week now. In an UNRELATED event, I sustained a left knee injury (acute tendonitis) and was ordered to "take it easy." The doctor specifically told me "no elliptical, and NO lower body exercises until it heals."
Bummer, dude!
So, it's been upper body exercises only for me.
Fortunately, there are plenty of exercises that I can sit on the board for, like the toe touch biceps curl (gotta keep my mamaguns in shape), the toe touch row, upright row, and the oblique twist. I haven't been able to use the AbCrunch attachment, as I can't stand to kneel on my knee right now, but the oblique twists and the lying crunches are just as challenging, so I can still work my abs.
Hubs continues to rock the Total Gym XLS like nobodies business. On the weekend of the family reunion, we picked up some weights off of Craig's List, and Hubs has been loving the added challenge of using the weights on the Total Gym.
He is currently adding four of the five pound discs to the gym, for a total of twenty pounds additional resistance. We also have twenty five pound discs and fifty pound discs.
I love that we can add resistance to the Total Gym XLS, so that Hubs can continue to use it. I do, however, wish that the placement of the weight bar holes were a little higher. I am not sure if we will be able to use the fifty pound discs with the Total Gym XLS, as the place for the weight bar is low on the board, close to the foot stand, and the fifty pound discs are rather large in circumference. Of course, since he uses it at an incline of 5 or 6, that may not even matter. We will see.
Total Gym XLS is so versatile, and I can see us using it for years to come. As I mentioned in another post, the only other thing I would change is I would add deck cards for the AbCrunch attachment.
You can save 15% now when you take the Total Gym Challenge!

Jesus Christ! This puzzle is hard!
What the hell is the solution?
"Two out of three ain't bad."
What??!! Who the fuck says?
Two out of three is 66.67% — THAT'S A FUCKING "D."
Don't give me that shit about how two out of three ain't bad, you goddamn underachiever.
If your heart stopped beating one out of every three times, I bet you'd call someone to find out what the fuck was happening — I mean, what are you, a tough-guy or something? Who are you, Bruce fucking Willis? What is this, the Nakatomi Plaza? Let's do the math, genius. For every twelve members of Hans' gang, you're only going to kill eight? For every twelve members of his gang you're actually gonna leave four motherfuckers alive to run around in the stairwells and shit? Party's over pal! You gotta kill ALL those motherfuckers!
If your heart was beating two out of every three times and you asked your doctor what the hell was going on with your fucked up heart and he beamed a coquettish smile at you and said, "two out of three ain't bad" — you wouldn't be acting all precious THEN, would you, you haughty asshole?
Two out of three is kind of a shitty range anyway. It's only three numbers. What if I asked you, "Okay, on a scale from one to three, three being best, how would you rate your present relationship?" You'd probably say, "Hey c'mon man, that ain't enough numbers… I know we ain't a perfect three, but I'm pretty sure we're better than a two… Maybe a 2.75?" I didn't ask you for a fraction — You know damned well I wanted a whole number, idiot! If we could trust you with fractions we wouldn't be having this conversation right now!
You wanna know what's ain't bad? Eight out of ten. Hard to go wrong with eight out of ten. Of all the times it's come up, I have always been able to take pride in having gotten eight out of ten. Not once did I ever feel shame for having gotten eight out of ten.
Or twenty-one in a range of twenty-five. That ain't bad either. If I had twenty-five units of something, and I gave you twenty-one of them, you'd probably think I was pretty freaking generous, right? You'd probably even write me a thank-you note like you were on Davey and Goliath or something.
And I'd say that if you scored 218 out of 219 that ain't bad — because it's more like PRETTY FUCKING GOOD!
So let's think about the bullshit that comes out of your mouth next time, okay princess? And keep the curbside mathematics to a minimum. Save the numbers for hopscotch.

United Auto Workers President Bob King would still like his union to represent autoworkers at factories owned by foreign automakers. King had mentioned the plans earlier this year, but apparently got sidetracked due to the UAW's labor negotiations with Chrysler, Ford, and General Motors.
According to The Detroit News, the UAW will move forward with plans to organize at an American factory owned by a foreign automaker. The action will begin by distributing flyers at car dealerships promoting the virtues of union membership. Plans to begin organize attempts this summer were delayed because the UAW was negotiating contracts with Detroit's Big Three automakers.
The UAW has not yet picked a target factory or automaker, but is currently training union representatives at the regional level. Previous reports indicated that the UAW would attempt to unionize workers at Volkswagen's new plant in Chattanooga, Tennessee. King says the union will manage to begin unionizing a foreign-owned factory by the end of 2011.
The UAW also is reportedly preparing an "army" of activists to protest at dealerships, corporate offices, auto shows, and factories against companies the union believes are violating workers' rights.
