I just got this installed in my car, I run them with crunch amp. and these are really loud and clear. I have never had so good speakers and never heard better.
Expert Service 1-877-289-7664 [Extended Holiday Hours]
This Infinity Kappa 682.9cf is the essence and trademark of Infinity car audio. With all the high-end engineering and technology that goes into each Kappa speaker, you will sure that you are receiving only the highest quality components. Made with a woven glass fiber woofer cone, which contributes to low cone flex, low distortion, and enhanced acoustic clarity. Due to the increased power handling of the Kappa series, the Kappa 682.9cf feature edge-driven MMD dome tweeters that allow for a seamless sonic integration between the tweeter and the mid-woofer. Using the latest in loudspeaker engineering, each of the crossovers has computer optimized voice-matched outboard passive crossovers for flawless performance.
The Infinity 682.9cf features a patented Unipivot tweeter design that ensures proper imaging when the speakers are installed. With the tweeter capable of being moved, it is positional and rotational even after the final screw secures the speaker in the door. Since most speakers are installed low in the door, the Unipivot design brings the soundstage up to the listener for more accurate and enjoyable experience. Each of the Kappa coaxial speakers, such as the Infinity Kappa 682.9cf feature adjustable tweeter level control. This switch will adjust the tweeters output by 3 dB. That simple tuning can make all the difference in your system and it ensures that your Kappa speakers will deliver exactly the sound that you are looking for.
The engineers at Infinity have developed a speaker that works for all applications. The True Four Ohm Technology used in these speakers make it perfect for running directly of a headunit or with an aftermarket headunit and amplifier. All of the speakers in the Infinity Reference line feature a 2 ohm voice coil. However, when you factor in the small OEM speaker wire of most vehicles and the heating in the voice coil during use, the impedance actually seen by the amplifier will increase. Infinity has adjusted the speaker to be safely connected to any headunit.
Priced Per Complete Component System: 2 midwoofers, 2 tweeters and 2 crossover networks

Sebastian Vettel has escaped sanction for cutting a corner during qualifying for the Korean Grand Prix on Saturday.
The newly crowned double World Champion was summoned to appear before the stewards post qualifying after cutting Turn Five by taking to an escape road between Turns Four and Six during a slow lap in the middle of Q3.
However, the stewards decided not to impose any penalties on the Red Bull driver as they he didn't gain any advantage.
A statement from the FIA read: "Having heard from the driver and team manager, and having noted that Car 1 started what was its fastest qualifying lap with 17 seconds to spare prior to the chequered flag, the stewards determined that no advantage was gained when car 1 left the track.
"Accordingly no breach of Article 20.13 occurred on this occasion and the stewards decide to take no further action."
The decision means Vettel will start Sunday's Korean GP in second place after being pipped to pole position by McLaren's Lewis Hamilton.

Marvel Mystery Oil
I have a 1935 Hudson 6, model GH sedan that was purchased new by my grandfather that year. It was handed down to my dad who recently passed away, so now I am working on getting all the technical detail down to keep it maintained and start taking it to meets again, like the National meet coming up in July.
Had a question on Marvel Mystery Oil - is this a good additive for the engine, or is it best to just steer clear of these products?
Want to make sure if I should include this in my regular maintenance program. The car has around 85,000 original miles on it. -
Marvel Mystery Oil has been a "tried & true" additive for a long time. I've used a mix of it, with WD-40, as a "rust buster" & lubricant.
It might be a good thing to add some of it to the gas tank to "tone down" the very high octane gas sold now for which that engine was not designed. By adding it to the gas it will also provide upper cylinder lubrication which L head engines usually can use. -
Thanks - I'll be sure to add it to my supply list.

I know some guys will use 2 cycle engine oil ( an oz. or two ) added to their fuel for the same purpose. Seems to act a bit like a fuel preservative as well. -
What about zinc additives?
Yup, it's good stuff, not "snake oil". I always add a few ounces to every tankful in my '37 to help lubricate the valves, which can tend to hang up otherwise if the car sits for long periods of time. You can even buy an automatic oiler that dispenses a pre-set amount right into the intake manifold, if you wish to.
you know this gets me thinking...I started up my car the other day and the rear carb flooded and had a stuck float. I had to tap on the bowl to free it up. I wonder if this would add a little lube to help the floats work a little free-er. The carbs empty out over the winter. i should probably start the car more often.
When I was about 13 a cousin introduced me to Marvel Mystery Oil on his ~61 Chrysler Windsor. He poured part of the can in the gas tank, part in the crankcase, part in the automatic transmission, cranked the engine and dumped some straight down the carb! I think it'll pretty much cure anything except maybe a rod sticking through the side of the block.
MMO is a solvent, made up mostly of benzene and mineral spirits. Probably great for preventing sticky floats and valves, but I wouldn't count on it to lubricate for any amount of time.
Marvel Mystery Oil is great stuff, however, I now use a product called Sea Foam (in a white and red can). You can use it the same way but I have found that it cleans better than Marvel Mystery Oil. I used it on my Mercedes Unimog. It cleaned and lubricated so well that I can actually drive up my hill and stay in third gear longer before I have to down shift. For really dirty engines, you can pour it slowly down the carb while the engine is idleing and then shut it off for five minutes. I swear by this stuff. You can get at Pep Boys, Kragen Auto parts, etc. I have attached a link to their website. It also acts as a fuel stabilizer so you can use it instead of sta-bil. This stuff does it all! http://www.seafoamsales.com/
P.S. And no I don't work for them... I just swear by it. -
I use the Sea Foam Deep Creep and it is the best penetrating oil i've ever used, haven't tried any of their other products though.
Three years ago i bought a 51 Kaiser that had not run in over 5 years. I removed the plugs and poured Marvel Mystery Oil in each cylinder. Put new plugs in and points. Tryed to start in a week and no go so I repeated the oil in each cylinder. Tryed a couple of days later and car started and within 5 minutes smooth right out. Great stuff.
in response to lanceb's question about zinc in this thread i would recommend you read the Skinned Knuckles articles on zinc additives. the article was well sourced and referenced. if you don't have it or want the short version..skip the zinc additives. most of the fuss was caused by a letter from an employee at the now defunct Crane Cams blaming the reformulation of modern oils for the failure of their cams. regards, tom

I agree with Jon that MMO is not "snake oil", but something that has valid uses when employed correctly. When I worked for a former Hudson dealer back in the 1950's, we used Mystery Oil in the crankcase of many cars with never any ill effects. This dealer, Clarence Howard, was an excellent mechanic who knew engines as well as anyone I had ever known. He designed oilers that he fed MMO into the intake manifold of some of the old splasher engines, and he firmly believed that this prolonged valve life of thos e engines. One of the things he told me about Marvel Mystery Oil back then was that one of the chief components of the stuff was Oildag, Acheson's colloidal graphite in oil suspension. Now, it is possible that the modern version of MMO may not use this type of colloid now. If you research the components of Marvel Mystery Oil, you hit a brick wall, for ingredients seem to be a true "mystery" indeed. You can easily research Oildag, however, by typing in "Oildag" or "Acheson's colloids" or "Acheson's colloidal graphite in oil suspension" in your browser. Acheson's other well-known colloid is Aquadag (or Waterdag), similar to Oildag, but suspended in water. Dr. Acheson was a fascinating guy, and you may find some of his ideas stimulating. On a personal note, I might add that my 1951 Hudson 8 coupe has run Marvel Mystery Oil in its engine since new. At 30,000 miles there was no sludge in the valve chamber or pan when the engine was inspected a few months ago. Dee K.


text: Home Politics Let's Call Trump's Language What It Is With all of his Birther and affirmative action talk, what's the point of tiptoeing around who Donald Trump is appealing to? By: Elon James White Posted: April 29 2011 12:45 AM 0 Getty Images Oh, look. The president has a birth certificate. Apparently he isn't a sleeper terror agent trying to bring down the country. What a relief. But even after Obama's press conference on Wednesday, during which he revealed the document that some people claimed didn't exist, Donald Trump and his fellow Birthers haven't given up the fight. I've attempted to walk away from the Trump ridiculousness -- the Birther crap that's ignited the media again is extremely boring and, from my perspective, pretty damn insulting. Say what you will about playing the race card (as Trump is currently doing), but it's really hard for a black American to watch the first black president get treated like no other president before him: basically being forced to show his teeth, metaphorically speaking, and even as he does, having the rich white guy say that he needs to look and see if things actually check out. But hey, in the good ole' US of A, this is par for the course -- the minority course. What's bugging me the most during this nonstop coverage of Trump-assery isn't the idiotic nonsense that he's saying -- the latest is that he's done a "great service" by provoking a response from Obama. It's the questions that are not being asked or examined. Perhaps out of fear of being perceived as race-baiters, virtually no one within the mainstream media, outside of a small few, will actually point out that race is dripping from almost all of the words for which Trump has been getting coverage. Since the rise of President Obama, there has been an embargo on calling out racial BS. Because the country is so supposedly past race, we aren't allowed to deal with it when it comes up, unless the issue is how white men built America or how white men are having their rights taken away. Race is now the territory of a select few (the Revs. Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson and so on) who have yelled about race so much already that in the year 2011, people roll their eyes when they're on TV. Many news organizations cover Trump as if they're covering a circus act. They give us the nod and wink and point at the crazy billionaire, but they aren't acknowledging that they are the ones giving him the platform to spread this specialized (and racialized) commentary. His coded language may not set reporters' hearts aflutter -- outside of Fox News -- but it speaks to a group of whites who, while they would never come out and say such unpopular things, sure as hell understand them. Let's take three of the magical Trump-isms that have hit the street in the past few weeks. Like The Root on Facebook. Follow us on Twitter.

MBRP 4" turbo back exhaust
I just got a mbrp turbo back exhaust and i was told you have to remove the turbo to install it and that it was a 3 hour job, i was wondering if anyone out there can shed some light on how to install the exhaust and about how long it would take.
thank fella's |
Sponsored Links | ||

you dont need to remove the turbo, just the clamp that keeps the downpipe on the turbo. and you need to either remove the transmission cross member(and support it with a jack or something) or cut the downpipe. the easiest is to just cut the factory downpipe. without crossmember removal the factory downpipe wont come out unless you cut it, which is easier and probably safer. and you either need to jack the rear up without using the axle and remove the passenger side shock to pull the catback section out, or just cut the exhaust behind the muffler. its quicker to just cut the downpipe and tailpipe. if you soak the exhaust hangers with wd40 or PB Blaster it'll make it easier to remove from the hangers, otherwise you'll be cursing it way more than needed. finally, enjoy.
Yes just cut your exhaust with a sawzall. Start at the back and cut the hanger right behind the muffler. Then pull the exhaust pipe out starting with the tell pipe and work your way to wards the front of the truck. Once you get to the cat, do not unhook the last exhaust hanger before the up pipe. And do not unhook the pipe from the turbo. Then cut your down pipe right in front of your cross member. You do this so you have support on the pipe in front and behind the cut you make.
Oohh and use 2 pry bars back to back to remove the exhaust from the hangers after you lube them. I hope this helps later jmd |
For what its worth, I got mine off only cutting right infront of the crossmember, I did not have to do any cutting in the rear and I did not have to remove any shocks. Stock height F250, no lift.
I also suggest putting everything on loose, then tighten from front to back making sure everything is aligned. Once its all tits, I would go went them, as the clamps used with the MBRP leave a lot to be desired.... good luck!! |
awesome thanks guys this helps alot, as long as work allows i should be putting it on later this week hopefully it goes alright
Everything that was said above. Just cut the SOB out. Way easier. Also, plan to slip under neath a time or two after you get it on to make a few tweaks, I had a problem of it rubbing on the frame near the tranny but once I got that twisted and turned I haven't had a problem since.

And..... :hooray!: I spotted bees in the yard yesterday. Appears they came with the sunshine.
Brusselsprouts up to 4" and ready to thin. Garlic a foot tall, peppers-cilantro about an inch, basil from seed, just setting the set of leaves after the cotyledons. (The munchkin covered them with sand which they did not like). Basil transplants doing well, ditto tricolor sage. Potatoes replanted and still a complete bust. We've just not had enough sun, Im thinking. Lots of buds on the mini-lime. Flowers on the apple tree. Hey, its a garden! As the weeds have also noticed... time to renew that little battle.
editted. the brusselsprouts are ready to thin, not thing.

December 26, 2008 The Death of Deep Throat and the Crisis of JournalismThe disclosure of Deep Throat's identity as the then-operational head of the FBI, Mark Felt has caused serious reappraisals of the real story of Watergate. George Friedman, President of Stratfor has written an essay that helps to cuts through the thick smokescreen being emitted by the Post and the rest of the drive-by media to enshroud Watergate in a fog of confusion. The Post repeatedly portrayed Felt as a bit player in the Watergate saga. A prime example of this clever prose employeed to confuse and dissemble, is a story David Von Drehle of the Post wrote on June 1, 2005
This masterful spinning is almost admirable were it not in service of lie. In contrast, Stratfor's Friedman's summation probably hewes more closely to the actual truth:
Friedman hits this one out of the park. |

This is a foolish move, throwing away revenue that is being used to fund necessary state projects (education).

People that purchase lottery tickets are adults and have the right to do with their money whatever they wish. What the state is telling us through this measure is that as adults we cannot do with our money as we wish, only what our caring government decides we should be allowed to do with it.

Speechless! Even this commentor is blown away at how unappropriate this is. Word to Ms. Burnham, this is NOT a way to be considered for the full time job. Actually if we have true leadership it is a quicker way out the door. Maybe it's time to file retirement papers, as we now know retirement age is met. This city needs employees who look out for the best interest of the city and not themselves. When will it end?

Harry Potter Goes Naturalistic: Part 1
Full CG clothes so close to the camera required a lot more resolution. For some shots they had live-action actors without capes so they extended the capes later in CG. Between the trials and the match they had three different types of material to deal with. "Trying to simulate the cloth on fast moving characters wasn't really realistic," Aithadi adds, "so we decided to remove the translation on the Quidditch players and simulate the cloth at the origin; then we were using winds in Maya to simulate the translation." Environments, of course, were full CG. MPC created panoramas from the production stills and created a 3D geometry using the trees in the photographs to determine scale of the mountains around the stadium. It had to be 3D in order to get proper parallax and proper depth. Hazing and clouds were added later by the compositing team. For the match, the original environment used in the tryout sequence was snowed up and MPC used particle systems to create the falling snow. Rising Sun had its biggest contribution yet to Harry Potter, delivering nearly 300 shots. The most important work was the introduction of Professor Slughorn (Jim Broadbent) and the transformation of his chair (into his human form) and room. "There are a lot of props, including a grand piano and a chandelier and grandfather clock," offers Gregory Yepes, Rising Sun's visual effects supervisor. "It's all broken apart when Harry and Dumbledore enter the room because Slughorn is hiding from the Death Eaters. Dumbledore realizes it's a spell and counters the spell to straighten everything out. Our people did some really clever things for this sequence. For instance, there's a picture frame on the wall and it tilts to straighten itself out. That's the only moving practical thing on the set." Everything else moving in the sequence is CG. Rising Sun used Maya for animation and Houdini for vfx and composited in Shake (they have since started using Nuke).
"Tim and David Yates gave us the rough boundaries for the sequence and we just played around with it," adds Yepes. "It was such an overwhelming amount of objects, but we got great reference from Tim and his team of digital pictures and a catalog of every object in the room. For some of the bigger pieces, we got them cyber scanned. We also had a lighter on set to make the tracking and camera matchmove done. We modeled low-res versions of every prop in the room so that when we started doing animation layout, we picked from a catalogue and per a designated camera move. That was carefully driven by Tim and David. The whole point was to avoid spending a lot of weeks working on models and textures. There were a lot of layers, especially debris." Bill Desowitz is senior editor of AWN and VFXWorld.

Los Angeles Kings
Teams in the NHL have a lot of making up to do to their fans. Some are rolling back ticket prices while some are offering free concessions for a limited time. That's a good start to attempt to get the fans back in the fold.
The Los Angeles Kings have taken it up a notch by donating $1 million dollars back to the Los Angeles community. Even though fans won't benefit from that donation directly, it impacts thousands of others in the area. Depending on how it's used of course.
There should be more promotions during the season, but Kings fans will get the best deal of them all.

[photopress:353707831_e0bcb4efd2_d.jpg,thumb,left] Brace yourselves for the future is coming on thick and fast these days! With CES and Macworld over we can welcome two new innovations to our daily life's. The Apple iPhone iMobile and HP's touch screen multimedia computer. Both featuring improved touch screen support, for easy usage without keyboards or styli.
The iPhone iMobile brings nothing new hardware-wise but finally presents us with an easy to use, intuitive user interface. Also it running OS X will certainly help getting new, cool 3rd party apps and tighter desktop integration out. I wonder where the terminal app is?
Apart from it being just plain gorgeous, there are a few things I don't like and that I reckon will cause problems. At least over here in Europe/UK they might. Firstly, there's not nearly enough memory on the device to replace my not-yet existing video iPod (which I was intend on buying some time this year)! It comes in 4GB and 8GB flavors with no visible means of extending it
Also 3G/UMTS support would be a boon, since it's much faster and cheaper than GPRS with T-Mobile and Voda giving away flatrates for next to nothing these days. I understand 3G/UMTS isn't widely available in the US but over in the "old world" network operators paid enough in license fees and infrastructure to _really_ want to see a return on their investment… and soon. With leads me to the last negative point about the iPhone iMobile: its cost!
[photopress:352735384_a7d3fca0ec_d.jpg,full,left] US$ 499 for the 4GB model and being locked into an exclusive contract for 2 years is way too dear IMHO. If it merged a full size iPod with a fully featured phone, than yes, I'd be more than happy to part with that much cash. But it just doesn't make sense. In Europe and the UK Apple might just have to do another exclusive deal but that'll be tough because networks are after devices that enable users to use their premium features (like MMS and 3G/UMTS), which Apple's breed doesn't support. So subsidies will be low and I expect to get locked into a lengthy, expensive contract with a network I probably won't like and still be asked to pay through the nose for the phone.
So much to Apple's Star Trek Communicator as I would like to call it. On a side note, Apple is currently trying to convince Cisco that it can use the iPhone™ although the latter has been marketing IT products under that name for years. So perhaps they should hook up with Paramount and just call it a ST-NG Communicator instead
The HP computer terminal looks quite good, even though it touts the new Windows Vista OS. Check out the Reg's Hardware video preview and you will agree with me when I call it a Star Trek'esque computer. Well, it at least comes close in my view…

Type of Document Dissertation Author LaGore, William Author's Email Address firstname.lastname@example.com URN etd-04102008-113525 Title Conditional and Unconditional Conservatism Following a Financial Reporting Failure: An Empirical Study Degree Doctor of Philosophy Department Accounting, Department of Advisory Committee
Advisor Name Title Richard Morton Committee Chair Bok Baik Committee Member Bruce Billings Committee Member Gary Benesh Committee Member Keywords
- Restatements
- Conditional Conservatism
- Conservatism
- Financial Reporting
Date of Defense 2008-01-11 Availability unrestricted Abstract The quality of financial reporting has come under increased scrutiny in recent years because of high-profile financial reporting failures, such as Enron and WorldCom, and the significant increase in the number of financial restatements. While most of the attention following these financial reporting failures has focused on the capital market consequences and the negative impact on investor confidence, very little analysis has adopted a contracting perspective. As accounting information is often used in contracts, the reliability and quality of the accounting information plays a critical role. A financial reporting failure casts doubt on the quality of the financial information, and consequently, leads to greater contracting uncertainty. I posit one means of restoring credibility of the accounting numbers following a financial reporting failure is to take a more conservative approach in reporting firm performance. Therefore, this study investigates whether firms report more conservatively following a financial restatement in order to restore the trust and confidence of the contracting parties and to protect the interests of the contracting parties.
I specifically examine whether firms report more conservatively in the three years following a restatement announcement, and whether an increase in conservatism is related to the extent of debt and compensation contracts. I then examine various corporate governance variables as possible explanations for an increase in conservatism following a restatement. I find restating firms significantly increase conditional conservatism in the three year period following the restatement announcement year. In addition, I find that both the level and change in conditional conservatism following a restatement is greater for firms where debt and compensation contracting are more important. These results are consistent with the contracting explanation of conservatism provided in Watts (2003). Lastly, I find little support for corporate governance variables as explanations for the increase in conservatism.

I don't know if this is a skin issue or a XBMC issue. But when I have watched all episodes of a tv-series it reports that I have one left unwatched. Even though I can click into the season and see that all episodes have the "watched" icon besides them.
I run XBMC Windows SVN build 16402
Watched/Unwatched video counter wrong?

I get that randomly as well on some TV Shows. I have concluded that there are no hidden files in the directory that could cause it to show this way. I've even marked everything as watched and yet, it still says I have 1 (or 2) unwatched. I've seen this issue since before Atlantis was available.

It didn't :/
And it is quite random. Some shows gets 0 when all eps are watched, but the most ends up with a 1. |

Mike Dobrovic, 50, is the winemaker at Mulderbosch, one of the few South African wineries with a substantial track record in the U.S. market. Its reputation has been built primarily on Sauvignon Blanc, though it also makes Chardonnay, Cabernet-based blends, Shiraz and Chenin Blanc. Dobrovic has been with Mulderbosch since the beginning. In 1989, he helped founder Larry Jacobs transform a run-down fruit farm in Stellenbosch into prime vineyards. Today, the winery is owned by Hydro Holdings and produces around 45,000 cases of wine a year, of which about 40 percent is exported to the United States. In 2002, Dobrovic also started his own label, called Sanctum, which specializes in cool-climate Syrah. In addition to being one of South Africa's most experienced vintners, Dobrovic is quite a character. He once said: "I find the busier I get, the more time seems to be available to do things. Just goes to show how much I can procrastinate."
Wine Spectator: Where did you work before Mulderbosch?
Mike Dobrovic: I started at Simonsig in 1983 and then worked three years at Delaire before coming to Mulderbosch.
WS: What got you interested in the wine business?
MD: I realized that, with a simple twist of the wrist, I could alter reality. And believe me, in Africa we often need to do that.
WS: Who has been your biggest influence in the wine business?
MD: There are so many people I would like to thank that it would take up a few pages. However, three people have profoundly influenced my methodology, and they are my old professor Joel van Wyk, Nicolas Vivas from the University of Bordeaux and Bruce Zoecklein from Virginia Tech. I have never met Zoecklein, but read his work avidly. All three have an amazing ability to understand the practical and chemical aspects of winemaking and, dare I say it, harmonize them. One can so easily implement their ideas and thoughts--unlike so many of the philosophers. Reminds me of the guy lost in a balloon who called down to a professor of physics below. He shouted, "Where are we?" and the professor answered, "You are in a balloon in the sky!" Now those are not the answers that these three men give.
WS: You're fond of quoting the poet Rumi. Tell us why you like his work so much.
MD: Rumi was a Persian Sufi mystic who ended up living in present-day Afghanistan. The Sufi philosophy is one of love and acceptance, non-judgmental. We can learn a lot from each other. I think that Rumi was able to transcend his humanity and was able to discover God within himself. Simply put, he realized how great a mystery people really are. His poems were quoted by the psychologists Carl Jung, Viktor Frankl and Erich Fromm, among others. The deep wisdom, inherent psychology and a great love of all that is life ensures that he remains the biggest-selling poet 600 years after his death.
WS: What's your favorite food pairing with your Mulderbosch Sauvignon Blanc?
MD: At the moment, it is winter [in South Africa] so a Thai prawn soup or a green fish curry is perfect with the Sauvignon.
WS: And with your Sanctum Syrah?
MD: The 2003 is becoming so sexy at the moment that I need my wife close by when I open a bottle, purely so that she won't get jealous. I like it with marinated venison--Cabernet and balsamic base for the marinade, and play around with some mushrooms, as these make the sauce so much richer. Don't be shy with onions, garlic and marjoram. Also try using some mutton--not lamb--fat to spear into the meat if it is very dry; that also adds a different flavor.
WS: What's your favorite wine, other than your own?
MD: Probably a Hunter's Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand. In the better years, Hunter's gives me the depth on the palate and both tropical and grassy fruits that leave me utterly inebriated and very happy.
WS: If you could be one other person for one day, who would it be and why?
MD: I would like to be a purveyor of fine silks and cheeses, as I am sure that would grant me access to any cellar in the world. If I did not like the wine, I could eat the cheese and wrap myself in layers of silk to cushion the blows of frustrated tasting room staff! Especially if they have had to listen to my poetry!

The study, published online in the Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine, looked at 400 children and found an increased risk of the behaviors associated with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder in kids whose mothers had higher mercury levels. Researchers also found mothers who ate more than two servings of fish per week helped reduce the risk of ADHD in their children.

Union Power Comes in Many Forms « Back to Story
Showing 3 Comment(s) Subscribe by RSS V4vendetta14 June 16, 2011 at 11:06 PM Fletch, Only a cop could make that argument with a straight face... I'm not saying cops don't have a dangerous job that deserves fair pay. But they are paid what mortgage bankers of 5 years ago were paid, and look where they are. We can't even cut salaries or force them to retire at 60 or 65 like any other job. Suffolk County was advertising for Arabic speaking cops recently and said your base pay would be 50K, and within 5 years it would be 150K. What private sector job allows you to increase your pay like that? You have to jump from company to company to increase 100K. Even the recruitment, which is cut-throat due to the easy salary increases, is extremely corrupt. The Police union needs to be busted wide open. People will do the job for far less than the salaries now, I guarantee you they would. We are in a depression. They would do the job with a maximum lifetime salary cap of 100k. And if they wan more, they can find a real job. V4vendetta14 June 16, 2011 at 10:58 PM How about we make a law capping the salaries of the employees that the unions are allowed to represent? I have nothing against the little guy. I have something against unions fighting the keep employees earning what are considered white collar salaries on the public dole. Fletch F. Fletch June 10, 2011 at 2:15 AM I agree with this article but want to point out one issue I take with it. Mr. Malanga says, "Big rewards have been common. Police in New York counties, whose unions make heavy use of arbitration, saw their salaries increase by double the state rate of inflation from 1997 to 2007, a Manhattan Institute study found." While I appreciate that Mr. Malanga should cite an example to support his case, I wish he would have used any public sector union other than a police or fire department, as these are the only two public sector unions that *ought* to have unionized protections. Let's face it: the members of these departments face real dangers and equally real - though virtually always unfair and baseless - blame for doing their thankless jobs. I have seen firsthand a lot of government union employees in (ahem) "action" whose lethargy and sloth earn the disrepute with which such unions are tarred; however, I would not include (the vast majority of) police or fire department members among them. |

The company also uses backup pilots from Aviation Dynamix.
The Mustang is an investment, said Fred Berry. "But it's a long-term investment."
The jet will serve the company for 20 years.
Still, the trips must make sense.
Operating costs for the Mustang run about $700 per flight hour, Walter Berry said. That cost will rise once the plane is out of warranty.
A trip in the Mustang with its seats full beats the cost of airline tickets.
Flying with the plane half full is a convenience.
And if you fly alone?
"You pay a premium," Walter Berry said.
"We do go through that equation," he said. "If I'm flying alone or one of our people is flying alone, we would tend to use the airlines."
A jet such as the Mustang might be more difficult to justify if there weren't multiple people needing to travel, Berry said.
"Or you might justify a single-engine piston plane as opposed to a jet," he said. "It (the plane) does need to be geared toward how you're going to use it."
Local companies use a variety of single-engine and twin-engine airplanes to do business.
Chuck Pierson, a dentist with Wichita Family Dental, uses a twin-engine Cessna 421 in his practice, which employs 30 people, including three other dentists.
Two-thirds of the time, Pierson does the flying.
He flies staff members and dentists to continuing education classes to learn the latest in clinical procedures, techniques in making crowns or performing root canals or on updating computer software.
The ability to get to training and home in the same day is a convenience, he said. And it saves money on hotels and meals and additional pay for more time on the road.
Recently Pierson and another dentist jumped in the airplane on a Wednesday to look at dental equipment in Colby, a trip that would have taken four to five hours of drive time.
"There's no way we would have driven out there on a Wednesday night," Pierson said.
Andy Smith, president and owner of Alltite, a distributor of industrial maintenance equipment, began using a plane in his business after he flew to Grand Junction, Colo., with a friend, who then let him borrow both the airplane and pilot for the week.
Smith did business in seven cities in Colorado, Utah and Wyoming and was back in Wichita on Thursday in time to watch his son's baseball game.
Without the plane, visiting that many customers would have taken three separate trips over three weeks.
He was sold.
Smith decided then that he wanted to learn to fly and turned to the pilot, Steve Hinkle, for advice.
Hinkle became his flight instructor. Smith earned his private pilot's license in March 2011. He earned a multi-engine rating in August and is working on an instrument rating.
At the same time, Smith sought advice from Sabris Corp. for help in buying the right plane for his business needs.
"We went through many different models and picked it out based our mission and what we were going to be doing," Smith said.
He bought a 1978 twin-engine Piper Aztec.
For now, Smith typically flies with another pilot on board, unless he's sure the weather will let him fly under visual flight rules.
His customers are in rural communities without commercial airline service.
"I go to where there's wind farms and refineries and oil fields, and they're never in big cities," Smith said.
Getting from Grand Junction, Colo., to Vernal, Utah, would take him hours.
It would take three hours just to drive over Douglas Pass, a mountain pass in Colorado located between the two cities, because of switchbacks, winding roads and slow traffic.
"In an airplane, it takes 30 minutes to get over the pass," Smith said.
He often takes along sales staff and the pilot drops everyone off in various cities to see customers, and then picks them back up.
The plane has allowed the business to grow quickly.
"I can close deals that I otherwise probably wouldn't be able to do," Smith said.
He's been able to add sales staff and plans to add more.
When a customer is in a bind and needs a part, Smith can send the part out right away.
"When you do that, you've got a customer for life," he said.
His small company competes with much bigger businesses.
"But the president and CEO of that company doesn't go to the middle of Nowhere, Texas," he said.
Smith does.
"When someone says the president of our company is going to fly down there and see you, that's a huge benefit,' he said. "They don't know I'm not flying in a $12?million Learjet, but I still get there."
There's nothing inexpensive about owning an airplane, Smith said.
The cost of fuel, maintenance, oil, hangar rental, insurance and other costs average about $320 a flight hour.
But, "it makes complete sense," he said. "I'm using the plane to make money.?... It allows me to be more places and do what I'm good at."
He doesn't use the airplane, however, on trips that take two hours or less to drive.
"I'm not a millionaire," Smith said. "I'm a regular guy with a little airplane. But it works out for what we do."
