Install high-efficiency showerheads and faucets in the average U.S. house, and the water meter will report about 6,000 gallons of water saved in one year. Not bad. But the savings continue. If the house has an electric water heater, the electric meter will show about 600 kilowatt-hours savings; if it's a gas heater, the savings will be 30 therms. [continue reading]

It was so near but yet so far for the Chevrolet Warriors as they came up just short against the Nashua Titans at Axcess St Georges' in their Momentum One Day Cup match. Chasing a testing target of 274, they ended five runs shy despite some tail-end heroics.
With just two wickets in hand, the Warriors needed nine runs off the final over. Basheeru Walters had a lusty swing and a miss, and the next three balls all produced singles. Urged on by a crowd of close on two thousand, and the famous band, Craig Thyssen went for glory off the penultimate ball but his shot fell just short of the long on boundary and was safely pouched by Henry Davids. Walters still had the chance to win the match, but could not clear the boundary fielder and the match ended in a confusing run out.
It was a stop / start performance by the Warriors. Both openers were undone by the ball coming back into them, Michael Price being out second ball. The experienced duo of Colin Ingram and Ashwell Prince had to rebuild the innings, and put on 54 in twelve overs. Prince dominated the partnership before David Wiese got his third delivery through Ingram's defences. Two overs later Prince failed to clear Rowan Richards at long on, leaving Davy Jacobs and Wayne Parnell to repair the damage.
Already needing to score at a run a ball, Parnell took up the challenge manfully. While looking to go for his shots from the start, he played with more responsibility as his innings developed . The pair added 98 and were well on track to take their team home before disaster struck again in the form of a clutch of wickets. Parnell was first to go, picking out a fielder at deep backward square leg. Parnell scored 48 off 61 balls (5 fours 1 six). Jacobs could have gone in similar fashion in the same over, but his top-edged attempted hook fell safely. Jacobs drove CJ de Villiers for six in the following over, but was trapped in front a few balls later for 63 (59 balls, 5 fours 1 six). Hopes waned as Jacobs was followed in quick succession by Simon Harmer, run out after getting into a tangle with Thyssen, and Adrian Birch.
Thyssen and Walters were faced with the seemingly hopeless position of scoring 68 off 49 balls. After an over or two to play themselves in, Thyssen got stuck into Paul Harris in the 44th over, which produced sixteen runs. The pair kept up with an asking rate which hovered around eight to the over, but it proved to be just too far for them.
Richards rounded off a weekend in which he took seven wickets, returning the best figures of three for 50 in his ten overs. Albie Morkel had an expensive start, and it was significant that he was not used at the death as Martin van Jaarsveld turned to Richards and CJ de Villiers.
Earlier, the Titans were indebted to Heino Kuhn (59) for helping them through a poor start which saw the in-form Davids and Mangaliso Mosehle both out for ducks, but the innings-changing partnership came from Morkel (66) and Farhaan Behardien (99 off 97 balls, a performance which earned him the Man of the Match award). Birch took the early wickets, and ended with three for 53.
The Titans have moved back into second place on the completion of the first round of fixtures. With the Nashua Mobile Cape Cobras winning in Paarl, the Warriors slip back into last position on the log.

Video bonanza
I've just inherited an iphone 3gs with video recording capability. And I've been documenting some of the climbs around Birmingham, but up until this afternoon I hadn't figured out how to do any of the fast descents with the camera because I needed to use both hands to brake. I realized if I mashed the iphone up against the handlebar, I could hold it in place with two fingers and still have a finger free to grab the front brake. Here is the resulting video of the S Cove Dr descent at 51.9mph … this is a bit on the slow side for the descent (typical max about 55-56mph, fast 58-60mph, fastest just over 60mph).
Here is a screenshot of the elevation profile with South Cove annotated. I took the video on the second time down the descent.
Elevation profile with S Cove Dr descents annotated
Earlier in this ride home from work, I took a video of the final part of the Vestavia Dr overlooking the Shades Creek valley with a view over to Red Mountain and downtown Birmingham. That video is included below:
This morning on my way into work, I took a video of the Dolly Ridge climb and Old Brook trail descent/climb. Below the video is an annotated elevation profile screenshot. The video starts shortly after the Skyland Dr roller coaster and runs until after the Old Brook trail descent and climb. Narration includes discussion of the April 2011 tornado which passed through Old Brook trail.
Long ride today working over the South Shades Crest ridge line
Fun ride today – much longer than I had planned – ended up being just under 102 miles with over 12,000 ft of climbing. I wanted to put in some hard efforts, so I put in a few KOM efforts. Ironically, the one I wanted most I completely missed (i.e., I rode up the wrong combination of roads). But I set two different KOMs on the combination of roads I did end up riding. Plus 5 others on the rest of the route. But perhaps what I was most pleased with on this ride was again inspired by cyclocross – riding up the Rocky Ridge woods trail which has a super steep trail with roots (but no rocks) at the beginning. I have cleared it once before on my road bike, but that was in the middle of winter when the trail was clearer than it is right now.
Also, I set a single second worth of power records on the ride – exactly 3'38" @ 433 watts – probably on the Altaloma – Renfroe KOM. See critical power curve below:

Pensacola Cycling Classic – Day 2 – Criterium and Overall
Josiah in the middle of the large kids field. I'm talking to the promoter in the background about ideas to encourage racers to register earlier for the race — getting ready to follow behind the kids who were very excited to do an entire lap of the course!
Analise in the pink skirt had a front row starting position and rode well on a bike that is too small for her.
One of many unsuccessful attacks – this is heading into the course's one lefthand turn.
Quick summary – 14th in the criterium after botched field sprint, but held on for 5th overall in the stage race. Up ahead in the six-man break, Frank Travieso (Team Coco's) won a very tight sprint ahead of Michael McBrien (Subaru) in 2nd, whose twin brother Gene would win the Cat 3 race immediately following our Pro/1/2 race, David Gutenplan (UHC/706) in 3rd, and Shawn Gravois (Globalbike) in 4th. Ryan Saylor (Gearlink) and one other rider also were in the break, so the field sprint was for 7th place.
The details – the forecasted rain stayed away, so instead it was hot and humid for this one hour criterium. After a really poor time trial yesterday, I was in a distant 5th about 45 seconds back from Stephan Hirsch (UHC/706) in 3rd and Jan Kolar (HomeSmart/L5Flyers) about 15 seconds in front of me in 4th. I had a relatively safe cushion of 45 seconds in front of Jonathan Bowerman who had come off our break in the road race and finished about a minute and a half behind us. But Jonathan had a smoking fast time trial beating me by 45 seconds cutting his time gap to me in half. The rest of the field came in minutes behind us so unless a break got away and lapped me in the field twice, the worst I was going to do in the overall was 6th place.
I wasn't going to give up a shot at the overall podium without a fight, though. My only shot at it was to somehow get into a break without Stephan and Jan. I was first off the line and led the pack through the first few corners waiting for the first attack. It came in the form of just one rider (can't remember who) so I thought for sure that it wouldn't stick. Then there was one more rider, and then another rider, and still I was on the front waiting for one of the teams to chase. But before you can say "oh my goodness you missed the boat", there was a solid break of four with maybe 10-15 second gap over the field.
One team missing from the break was Team Coco's. Frank Travieso corrected that by bridging solo at probably 35mph – given the incredibly short amount of time it took for him to leave our group and bridge the gap up to the leaders 10-15 seconds ahead of us. At this point, I thought not only was the break a done deal, but also that it was going to lap the field within the first 15 minutes of the race. The only thing keeping the break from doing that was a steady effort by UHC/706 who wanted to keep the pace fast enough so that the dreaded "double-lapping" wouldn't happen causing somebody to leap frog Stephan in the overall. I also think they wanted to keep the pace high to discourage attacks.
I attacked as often as I could – maybe four or five times? Each time I was hoping to get one or two strong riders to go with me, but it never happened. I would go off the front, stay off the front solo for 20-30 seconds and then run out of energy, get drawn back into the field by the steady chase of UHC/706, rinse and repeat. I wasn't the only one attacking, and all of these attacks had a nice effect of ramping the field's pace up enough to gradually reel the break back in. At one point we were only 10 seconds back from the break. I had just finished an attack, and the pace in the field had started to slow down when Shawn Gravois (Globalbike) launched a perfectly timed attack and was able to finish the bridge to the leaders a couple laps later. The renewed horse power helped drive the break away from us again.
With eight laps to go, I gave up attacking and started to position myself for the field sprint. I worked hard to stay at the very front and managed to surf through all the surges entering the last corner in 3rd wheel. But I came out of that corner on the windward side of the two riders in front of me — I'm still not entirely sure what I was thinking — it must have been that I somehow thought I was going to have some miraculous sprint — but I was immediately blown backwards by the wind getting passed by 3 people in the sprint and then an additional 2 people within 5 meters of the finish line to finish 7th in the sprint, 14th in the race.
Not a great finish, but I was happy to have raced really hard – especially with all my family there watching and cheering – and to have snagged a top 5 in the stage race classification. Lots of data from the weekend. I was happy to have set a new power record in the road race – confirming that it was indeed a really, really tough race.

Pensacola Cycling Classic Day 1 – Time Trial
Another tough race this evening – I was pleased with my heartrate data, but I don't think my time was fast enough to hold onto 4th place after Jan Kolar put in a strong time to beat me. Still, it was fun – especially since the race went a couple miles into the part of the national seashore that was closed due to damage from Hurricane Isaac. There were a couple sections of road that were washed away but only on one half of the road. Here's my data:

Pensacola Cycling Classic Day 1 – Road Race
Quick summary – really tough race with attacks from the gun. I ended up initiating the race winning break about halfway through the first of three 25 mile laps coming across the top of the largest hill on the course. Initially, there were seven of us, but on that same hill 25 miles later on the next lap we were down to 6 riders. Then on the same hill 25 miles later, Serghei Tvetkov (Team Exergy) and Ruben Companioni (Team Coco's) dropped the remaining four of us. We chased hard eventually losing one rider so it was Stephan Hirsch (706 Project), Jan Kolar (HomeSmart/L5Flyers), and me (Tria Cycling p/b DonohooAuto.com) to fight it out for the last step on the podium. Stephan came out on top for 3rd, and I was next for 4th just edging out Jan who took 5th.
Parking on the Christmas Tree Rd hill overlooking other hills in the area.
The details – there were lots of attacks right from the gun which strung out the field and enabled me to move from my position towards the middle of the pack up to the front. I watched carefully and ended up in a couple moves. One really good looking move had both Team Coco's riders and at least one UHC/706 rider. We had a gap and were absolutely drilling it but we just couldn't extend our gap more than 20 seconds from a hard chasing field.
Still, we were away for quite a while so when we were caught, it was only a mile or two before we made it to the course's big hill (0.4 miles at 5%). I had been in a lot of moves by this point in the race so I was hoping that there wouldn't be any hard attacks on the hill. There weren't. In fact, the pace was slow enough that as we made it towards the top of the steeper section I decided to attack – not expecting much, but knowing that last year this is where our break got away.
The attack worked, though, because we got a good gap with good team representation: Ruben Companioni (Team Coco's), Stephan Hirsch (UHC/706 Project), Jan Kolar (HomeSmart/L5Flyers), Tim Reagan (Herring Gas), Serghei Tvetkov (Team Exergy), a rider in black kit I didn't recognize, and me (Tria Cycling p/b DonohooAuto.com). We were flat out from that moment on. The field was chasing hard, but I think people were tired from the previous chase. So we very slowly pushed out our lead. By the end of the first lap, I believe we were up to about a minute. On the second lap, we were out to two minutes, and then by the start of the last lap we were about 4 minutes ahead.
We never let up and with the windy conditions it seemed like you were always getting hit by a crosswind or pushing it really hard with a tailwind. I never felt good so halfway through the last lap as we reached the hill I knew there was likely to be an attack but had already given up on it even before the attack happened! I was just focusing on trying not to get dropped. Serghei initiated the move and Ruben covered it with no problem. I was expecting Stephan to go with it too leaving Jan, me, and the other rider to chase – but he stayed back with us opting to wait until the top to really start chasing. I was cooked by this point and we tried to get a good rotation going but Stephan was clearly stronger than the rest of us – and I was wanting it to come down to a sprint for 3rd as I might be able to pull something together for the uphill finish.
As we came into the finish, Stephan was on the front with 500 meters to go when he pulled off. I went through next and decided to hit it as hard as I could on the uphill with about 400 meters to go. I didn't get a gap, and Jan came around with 300 meters to go. Stephan came around Jan and then with about 100 meters to go I was able to repass Jan to take 4th.
I was COMPLETELY exhausted after the sprint. Not breathing well, not able to get enough air, not able to think straight, I found a tent where somebody had some ice cold water (THANKS!). Then I very, very slowly pedaled back up the hill to the car, cranked the AC up to maximum and sat there for a while trying to cool off before heading back to check the results and get my spare wheels from the follow vehicle.
Now it's time to head out for the time trial – will probably have 110-115 miles total for the day after it's all said and done. At this point I'm hoping to hit the TT hard enough to hold my 4th overall position. We'll see how it goes!
Cycling beach trip
We made the four hour drive today down to Pensacola Beach, Florida for my last stage race of the year this weekend. This was a great race last year, and I'm looking forward to the road race tomorrow morning and the criterium on Sunday. I'm not looking forward to the time trial, but it should be fun anyway. Here's some pics from my beach pre-ride today.

Need To Meet: Jessie J Video
The leggy pop tart shows us her hidden talent, talks about bad bowling dates, and gives us a peek inside her handbag.
Hello. I'm Jessie J and you are watching Marie Claire Online.
It's not about the money, money, money. We don't need your money, money, money. We just wanna make the world dance, forget about the price tag.
I can talk like I'm in a box. Hello. Hey, it's Jessie J. [unknown] you don't know. Jersey shorts, Rihanna, my legs. Actually, this is my voice but no. To be able to be invisible so I could begin to climb the wall and then be able to go into a meeting and say, "Ha-ha." I was fallen on a double date and coma when I was like 12 and I accidentally freed the bull the wrong way. It was so embarrassing. I was like, yeah, come on and I'm free, and I got excited, I just freed the bull with back [unknown] and all that. Yeah, she's so cool. I Wanna Dance with Somebody, Whitney Houston. Madonna. Will. I.Am. This is what's in Jessie J's handbag. Let's start with my Andrew Jackson Bag, and I love to call it the clock bag. So people walk into, I'm like, can [unknown]?. And that makes me laugh. It brings a little bit of humor into my life. Moisturizing, nail varnish, remover pads. These things are God sent 'cause as you can see, I'm going to get my nails done straight onto this. They are like party sausage fingers. I never have nails that is also in [unknown] this morning and I was like this on the mark, so I know what's on my hand. The second thing is, I got to talk first, I was given by two guys that have a charity that raises money for children in Brazil. And in here, we have my passport, which is very important because without that I can't do my job. My car key, which I always bring with me, which I probably don't need to. I got Ray Ban. Can't go anywhere without these [unknown] Shades on your eyes and your heels so high that you can't even have a good time. I've got a Sharpie for all my fans. Whenever I bumped into a fan and they've got a Biro, I always say let me gonna Sharpie out because this will last longer and it shows up. My lipstick pen, it's very fat but it's cool because it looks like a lipstick but it's not, it's a pen. And that's it. And it's always in the clock.

Unless it's you being lazy.
Then there are clear reasons that excuse the legs up in front of the TV set, the nachos on the coffee table, the intermittent dozing throughout the day and into the night.
You've fought your battles. Won some, lost a few, but here you are, unbowed.
Just lazy.
For now.
You'll regain your energy soon enough, tackle some cause again and right another wrong.
Until then, you just let the cable news float through the ether round your head.
You find you feel deep sadness for everybody involved in the killing of young Trayvon Martin; but can't seem to muster much compassion for old whats-his-name, that politician who once ran for president and who had an illegitimate kid while his wife was dying of cancer.
You wonder what could have happened to that North Korean rocket that dropped off the radar into the sea, and what is whichever-Kim-he-is gonna do now to save face?
And a part of your waking brain ponders the great national outrage over Mrs. Mitt Romney and her work ethic.
Honk if you really, truly, cross-your-heart-and-hope-to-die believe that Ann Romney raised five boys like your own mama did, without a Roman Cohort's worth of household servants and without ever having to slap a bunch of Mickey D Happy Meals down on the kitchen table because there wasn't enough food in the house to feed five kids?
And people wonder why you just want to let the world go round without you for a while.

The instrument-rated pilot was executing a night instrument approach when the airplane impacted the water. The published approach minimums for the area navigation/global positioning system approach were 460-foot ceiling and one-mile visibility. Recorded air traffic control voice and radar data indicated that prior to the approach the pilot had turned to an approximately 180-degree heading and appeared to be heading in the direction of another airport. The controller reassigned the pilot a heading in order to intercept the final approach. The airplane was located in the water approximately 5,000 feet from the runway threshold. A postaccident examination of the airplane revealed that the left main landing gear was in the retracted position and the right main and nose landing gear were in the extended position. Examination of the left main landing gear actuator revealed no mechanical anomalies. The pilot had likely just commanded the landing gear to the down position and the landing gear was in transit. It is further possible that, as the gear was in transit, the airplane impacted the water in a left-wing and nose-down attitude and the left gear was forced to a gear-up position.
The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this accident to be:

Prototype and test REST and SOAP-based Web services
Prototype and test REST and SOAP-based Web services
In SOA projects, backend Web services generally require more time and resources to develop than client-side services. This leaves client teams stuck waiting for the backend services to come online before testing can begin, resulting in delayed time to implementation.
Deploying a Layer 7 SecureSpan Gateway early in a SOA project facilitates rapid prototyping of backend services, as well as early testing of frontend clients because SecureSpan can be used to simulate Web services that client teams can test against.
A virtual Gateway can be deployed either in the Cloud or on developers' desktops to reduce system costs and simplify management of development/testing environments. Once backend services are ready to accept requests, Gateway policies can simply be routed to these services.

Ordinary High-School Student Teppei Kobayashi has just lost his parents in a strange car accident, leaving him all alone, until his maternal grandfather decides to take him in. The day Teppei's supposed to meet with him, he spends time at his parents' grave, until he sees a beautiful girl in a horse-drawn carriage, chased by some thugs. Seeing her scared face, Teppei decides to help, so hops on his bike and somehow manages to rescue the Damsel in Distress, but not without some nasty accidents, guns, an angry Battle Butler, and a fall down a cliff that should've killed him and the girl outright, yet they miraculously survive.After the mess, Teppei meets with his grandfather Isshin Arima. It turns out Teppei's mother Kanae is Isshin's daughter, the next successor to the almighty Arima Financial Combine, and wants to prepare his grandson as his successor, considering him an excellent young man. Therefore, Teppei has his surname changed to "Arima", starts to live in one of the Arima mansions, and attends "Shuuhou Academy", the most elite highschool in the nation, in order to facilitate his debut into high society. The first person he finds out also attending the academy is the same beautiful girl he helped before, Charlotte Hazelrink, crown princess of the European Kingdom of Hazelrink. Over the course of the series, Teppei's joined by Sylvia van Hossen, the daughter of nobleman Vincent van Hossen of the Flemish Principality, Seika Houjouin, the daughter of the rival Houjouin Corporation and Yuu Fujikura, a maid assigned by Isshin to be Teppei's caretaker and counsel.Based on a successful PC Eroge Visual Novel released in 2008 by RICOTTA, Princess Lover! got a Twelve Episode Anime adaptation in the summer of 2009, with its own series of Light Novels, manga adaptations and a "clean" Updated Re-release for the PlayStation 2.

Acura Integra
The black rubber molding protects the door a lot better. I'd stay with that. The little tiny body colored trim on my '99 GSR doesn't do anything to prevent dings and scratches from other jerks' car doors If anything, the paint on the body color molding chips when slightly hit..
We can't tell you anything for sure. There have been a few spy photos and artist's sketches of the '01 Integra but they 're all different!
If it's power you want why don't look at the '00 GSR? It has 170hp. Are you looking at the LS now because it's cheaper? Because when the '01 Integras come out they 'll probably cost a little more and I doubt there will be $1-2K incentives like there are now..
Only the new Type-R will have 220hp per Autoweek.
I 've read elsewhere that the regular integra will "be just shy of 200hp", which to me means around 195hp. It looks like there may not be a cheaper base Integra but only the "GSR" and Type-R version. Noone really knows for sure.
The '01 Integra is supposed to be available in March '01, but again that hasn't been confirmed by Honda or Acura of North America.
deva2 Posts: 1Anyone know of troubles with the Acura Intera 2000 LS/GS automatic cars? My friend said a mechanic told him that Acura Integra 2000 models have some problems with its automatic transmissions. Anyway, I'm looking to buy my first car in a month, and I'm looking hard at the Acura Integra GS with the automatic - any reason not to?
lancerfixer Posts: 1,308I don't know of any problems, per se, but keep in mind the Integra's angine was NOT designed for an automatic transmission. The car performs MUCH better (and is more fun) with a manual. If you don't know how to drive a manual, call AAA-- they can put you in touch with a driving school that will teach you.
eclipsegs Posts: 66I don't know about anyone else, but I can't stand the look of black trim pieces all around let's say, a white car. Personally, I like the car all one color. The auto industry got the hint after the 80's cheap black bumper era. It was an option on my 87 Hyundai Excel! No laughs please, we all needed to start somewhere.
As for the trim protecting doors from other folks making dings, park FAR away from everyone. I also own a Mitsu Eclipse with no door trim and no dings because I'm very careful in my parking location. Take the walk I say.
Yes, I figured out the $219 because it says on top: total monthly payments $7884. I devided by 36 mos (you didn't tell us 3 yrs either) and got $219.00 and from what I gather you have to put $1500 down. It's actually not a bad deal providing you won't go over 36K miles. If you do you 'll pay 15 cents per mile! That can add up really quick.
Is there anyone out there that recently leased or purchased a 2000 Integra LS coupe, automatic??? If so what kind of deals are you getting for them? I've made some initial talking with the dealers and one of them was saying $2000 down and $226 a month for a 36 month lease with 12k a year. This includes taxes, etc... Any and all information would be appreciated.
rrrev Posts: 2I spoke to an Acura salesman last week and he told me that the body style of the Integra isn't going to change next year. How long has this style been around, eight years? I had heard that it would change next year. What's the deal with Acura? Has anyone heard anything to the contrary?
I'm a big fan of Import cars so I love Honda/Acuras. I already put money down on the new 2001 Acura Integra Type R just to reserve it. BUT!!!! I just saw a picture of the 2001 Acura Integra at http://busybeetoys.com/SCOOP/scoop-2000-01-19.htm
if this is how the Acura Integra is going to look I would rather buy an AMERICAN car.... I really thought they could do better then this... like an nsx look or something but this is really, really bad. When you guys get a chance look go to the web site I posted and let me see what you guys think.
we should go on strike against honda/acura.
Nah, that's an old picture. I have like 3 newer ones and they all look different, but sportier than the one at busybeetoys. Check your mail jctejada. Latest rumors are that the regular Integra will be like 195hp and the Type-R 220hp but not with a 2.2L but a 2.0L. I doubt any of the Integras will have a 2.2L. Even the S2000 has a 2.0L.
Thanx Harry I got your picture. Too tell you the truth I didn't noticed any big changes from the picture I saw in the website and the picture you sent me. Bottom line is both pictures looked really, really ugly, ill looking, ill-favored, heinous, terrible, nasty looking and whatever else you want to call it. I would be ashamed to drive this car down the street. I think the Acura Integra owners from previous generations would just look at me and laugh. How could the Acura/Honda engineers come up with a design like this? I thought these people got pay good money to make up these designs. Honda/Acura could pay me half the amount they pay those guys and I bet I can come up with a better design then that. Better yet my little 9 year old brother can come up with a better design then that. Honda/Acura doesn't even have to pay him. All they have to do is give him a box of crayons and he'll be happy with that. I don't know what Honda/Acura is thinking about. Maybe what they want to do is what Mitsubishi did with the eclipse and sell it to an older generation because that's what the new Integra looks like, an OLD man. I am really disappointed with the new look of the 2001 Integra. I am seriously thinking about getting the money I put down on the 2001 Acura Integra Type R back. I don't think all the hype the Type R has is going to help sell this car. But I'm going to wait until it does come out (September) and go to the dealer and take a good long look at it and then decide. If it is really going to be as bad as I think it's going to be then I'll just jump into a Prelude. I think for the money the 2000 Honda Prelude is the best next thing to the Acura Integra Type R, What do you guys think about that????
I 've been using Castrol GTX on my Civic and change the oil every 3-3.5k mi. My '97 Civic HB just turned 105k mi. and it doesn't burn any oil at all!
On my Integra GSR I started using Mobil 1 very recently (16K mi).
Although I do go fast with the Civic and average 80-85mph I didn't think it was necessary to go with synthetic. Besides 85mph is really nothing for the Civic.. Now the GSR is a different story. With that 8K RPM redline and frequent racing (autocross, and at the light) that I do, I feel the engine might benefit from the extra protection of the synthetic oil.
My advice would be don't go with synthetic. I 'm really hard on my Civic and have a lead foot so I 'm proof that the Civic doesn't really need synthetic oil to maintain reliability. Maybe synthetic might protect it more when the car has 150 or 200k mi.? can't really answer that. When I get there on mineral oil I 'll let you know the status of my motor. So far at 100k+ mi. oil consumption is nil which means the motor is fat and happy (healthy) and regular oil is more than adequate.
I think it's time you visited a more technical forum. You 've asked a lot of technical questions about turbos and SCs but there isn't anyone here with a turbocharged Integra so you need to go here: www.honda-tech.com
Register to get an ID and then post to your heart's content. You should go to the Forced Induction topic. I hang out at the Integra forum there. My nickname is VTEConly. There are very highly technical people that can answer all your questions there. As you can tell the Edmunds forums are a little more mild and don't go into the bolts and nuts of things. I 'm mostly at the honda-tech forums but I like it here because it 's more quiet It gets kind of crazy there reading everyone's problems and there are way more posts there than here. Anyway I 'm sure you 'll find it very informative.
I missed something in your post before.. Who told you the new Integra is coming out in September? Everything I 've been reading the last 6 mos says it's coming out in March-April of '01.
New model year Integras never came out in September anyway. They always arrived at the dealers' lots in mid-late October. I 'd get a new saleman if I were you.. and don't believe everything they tell you. They 're going to hold on to your money for a long long time because Type-Rs are definitely not coming out till the Spring of next year. It's already been announced at several auto shows.
I will be purchasing a new LS 5-speed soon. I will give the local dealers a chance, but if I can't find the deal I'm looking for, I will get the car through CarsDirect.com. Has anyone purchased an LS recently, especially in the San Francisco Bay Area? If so, what price did you settle for? Do you have any suggestions about the buying process?
For those of you who are saying, "Why aren't you getting a GS-R"...well, you're right. However, I don't care for leather, the spoiler, and the lower gear ratios (I make several road trips). I wish I could get an LS with the VTEC motor. Hence, my dream car: an "LS-R".
Good luck with your purchase. I went to carsdirect.com for a friend who was looking for a GS-R about 10 days ago and it said: SOLD OUT! Now I 'm in NY so maybe there are some in other states. This could also mean that they 're not making '00 GSRs anymore, not sure. Anyway, I went through carsdirect over a year ago and it was very painless. You still pick up the car from the dealer. carsdirect just negotiated the price they advertise with the dealer and got me that exact price ($19.8K for '99GSR).
Suggestions for the buying process: Go late at night or 1/2 hr. before they close. Tell them you 're ready to buy the car today, IF they meet or match prices you 've seen on line. Check out Edmunds' Rebates & Incentives section first! if there is a thousand or 1,500 incentive subtract that from the sticker price right away and then at least another $1K after that. Also walk around their lot. See how many LSs they have. If they only have 1 LS or only a couple of Integras total they may not negotiate much. The more they have the better chance you have at getting it at your price. Always let the dealer make a few hundred bucks. Do not make unreasonable offers like below dealer invoice (minus the factory-dealer incentive of course) or right at invoice. Acura dealers are not Chevy dealers.. Anway, pump them up, get them excited and tell them you 're willing to put a deposit down the same day and buy the car the next day or the day after. Another thing to remember is that the lower the price they agree on, the higher the interest rate they 'll try and give you. Tell them if you don't get a reasonable interest rate or the advertised one (sometimes they give out special Honda loan rates like 6.9% of lower) the deal will fall through or you 'll get a loan over the Internet with much better rates. When they heard that I was getting a loan from the Internet, they gave in and said, fine you can have the 6.9%. That's what Acura was advertising but they dealerhip doesn't want to give you that. They make money on the interest and try and give you the highest rate possible, unless you complain and simply say: no thanks, I 'll finance through someone else. Then watch them come up with excuses and other ways to get you a better rate. They have several financial institutions they do business with. One of them is offering the "good" or advertised rate. They 'll tell you your credit is not perfect and all kinds of crap. Just walk away. They 'll call back.. That's it for now. Do these things and you 'll do ok. Just get used to saying: no thanks to the dealers and you 'll get what you want, eventually. If not there 's always the online car brokers.
Just for reference sake, I have a deal on the table for a 2 door automatic on the table with a dealer I found through autoweb.com. He offered me $17,203 + tax, tag, and dealer service fee (not sure about this??) for a grand total of $18,763. If anyone has any thoughts on this deal please let me know... good or bad. I'm about ready to take it. BTW I'm in central Florida just for the record.
Given that sticker is around $20K for an automatic LS, $18.7K with tax and everything out the door is not bad at all! This means they still have factory incentives on the Integra (havent' checked Edmunds' section on that lately)
Don't know about the dealer service fee and have never heard of it. It's just another way of them to charge you more. The dealer service fee is most likely autoweb.com's fee that the dealer will send to them, like an agent's fee.
When I was making the deal with carsdirect.com they told me the dealer is charging me a $200 advertising fee. I said what? there 's no such thing and advertising fees are included in the sticker price of the car. I said NO, I 'm not buying the car because that's a ripoff. Then I called the sales manager, and told him I 've bought several new cars and noone ever charges an advertising fee. He said that's because this carsdirect profit! So I called them back and started yelling at them telling them I know that's their profit and they can go to the dealer and try and get $200 out of them. So about 2 days go by, and carsdirect called me back and told me many people have been complaining about the "advertising fee" (because dealers were not too cooperative and told the customers that the $200 was going to carsdirect - dealers don't really like the Internet car agents because it cuts into their profits a little), so they 've done away with it, and to say "we are sorry" they took off another $100 off the price. I was happy.
Fight the dealer service fee because there 's no such thing - don't pay it. Tell them you 've talked to others that have bought new cars and have never heard of that. It could also be the dealer fee they charge for registering the car for you and doing the paperwork. Here in NY it's usually $20. I had them waive it. It was called "dealer preparation fee". I told them they made $600 on the car, and that's enough. They don't need to get another $20 out of me and the sales manager said fine. Screw their fees! Go over them carefully and question everything. You still got a great deal though..
Almost forgot. I would advise to get a 5-sp. if you can. Much more fun to drive (and much faster). Not too much fun if you run into a lot of traffic frequently though.. If they have one on the lot, it should be about $700 cheaper than what you 're paying for the auto, like $16,500. It would be a steal!

Bacon's Triptych - August 1972

nicely articulated and contextualised. thank you.
Alix wrote on Tuesday, March 05, 2013
This film does an excellent job of contextualizing the piece as well as providing some understanding of Bacon's mind set. As this work was produced postwar, the theme of gore and distortion is a telling factor. When analyzed trough a physiological lens Francis Bacon's approach to his confrontation with death seems to be visually depicted and processed similarly to that of Otto Dix. Personally I can see visual cues that are similar in both style and the artistes' approaches of a similar topic. The film makes a link between the subject matter and its presenting; the commentator goes on to explain the meaning of the use of triptych. This allowed for a deeper understanding of the work. I could go further by making a comparison by saying that the motivation of using a triptych can parallel those of Max Beckman. Both artists who wish to use this format to relate to human suffering as it is a typical religious method of depicting images of sorrow. This work seems to present what the artist thought of life at its most fundamental state, in the moment when the human protagonist is stripped of all pretense and decorum. This piece, as would many of Bacon's works, would be uncomfortable to view in person. Its triptych presentation comes off the wall and towards the viewer creating a sense of unease. This sense of unease is then amplified by the subject matter and the visual tension.
Brittany Lamers wrote on Wednesday, March 06, 2013
Bacon's work is very personal, especially this triptych which I find very interesting to the artist's character. It is so powerful, especially the way that he handled the figures in his paintings. He can paint the figures so beautifully but he abstracts them to a state where they have been cut away, fragmented or melting to express his own inner turmoil. It is so disturbing the compositional elementsl, but yet this work keeps speaking to me as beauty.

HOUSTON (AP) -- An emergency official in south Texas says he'd rather be safe than sorry in preparing for Hurricane Dean.
Johnny Cavazos in Cameron County is preparing for the hurricane as if it's going to be a direct hit. Authorities have passed out sandbags, evacuated jail and prison inmates and opened emergency operations centers.
There's a state of emergency in the resort town of South Padre Island.
A Home Depot in Brownsville ran out of its supply of plywood Sunday as people rushed to board up windows. Other customers crowded the store scooping up batteries, generators, water and flashlights.
The head of FEMA says up to 100,000 people might have to evacuate the southeast Texas coast if Dean shifts north toward Brownsville.
Right now, forecasters say it's on course to strike northern Mexico Wednesday.

The pilot took off to the south from a grass field, which measured approximately 760 feet in length and was located adjacent to the Gulf of Mexico. The northern half of the field was mowed, whereas the southern half of the field was not. The pilot reported to the FAA inspector that he felt like the airplane's engine was not producing full power. The airplane neared the end of the field where it contacted a two-foot embankment with its tail wheel and nosed over inverted into water. The pilot reported that he left the carburetor heat in the ON position during takeoff. He also reported that he took off with a "slight tailwind." At the time of the accident, a nearby weather observation facility reported the wind from the northwest at 8 knots.

Selected Reviews:
"It is impossible to imagine Randall Scarlata singing a mechanical or thoughtless phrase. One has the wonderful sense that Scarlata searches out the Platonic essence of anything he plans to sing and then uses every attribute at his disposal to create the most appropriate and fully dimensional realization possible." ~The Washington Post
"A triumph…this baritone has the vocal wherewithal to do just about anything he wants." ~The Boston Globe
"The young American singer revealed a baritone of handsome weight and color as well as considerable power and agility. Even more impressive was the depth of emotion Scarlata found in the music, bringing texts to life with arresting force. Idiomatic phrasing, clear diction and unerring tone combined with Goode's artfully shaded pianism to give a first-rate performance." ~Contra Costa Times (Review of recital with pianist Richard Goode)
Mr. Scarlata sang with masterful authority and secure technique as the Celebrant, with over two hours on the stage. ~ Die Presse (Vienna performances of Bernstein's Mass)
"Randall Scarlata is an intelligent and communicative singer. In songs of Schumann and Schubert his delivery of the text was vivid, and this was not just a matter of clear diction but of a compelling desire to bring texts to life. His voice is hearty and robust, and his lovely, soft singing in high-lying phrases was poignant." ~The New York Times
"Scarlata is a true art song singer, with warm expressive voice and clear words. He connected with the audience and never lost them. His voice is even throughout a wide range, with a firm bottom and true sweet high notes, and power when he needs it." ~The Seattle Post-Intelligencer
"Scarlata demonstrated admirable stylistic flexibility, a burly yet beautifully schooled instrument, and a winning way with the audience. The performance brought to mind the sensibility of Peter Pears and the lusty swagger of Bryn Terfel." ~Opera Now
"Scarlata gave an engaging performance, showing intelligence, strong programming and a felicitous knowledge of his materials." ~The Los Angeles Times
Randall Scarlata, as the Celebrant effectively modulates his trained opera voice to the more vernacular realm of direct expression called for by the part. This is crossover singing at its best. Scarlata's "Simple Song" soars, first gently then urgently, and he delivers a ringing, passionate "Word of the Lord." ~Opera News (review of Bernstein's Mass)

Rip gets his No. 32, but headband hasn't been addressed
By Neil Hayes email@example.com December 15, 2011 8:04PM
Related Stories
Updated: January 17, 2012 8:27AM
Rip Hamilton will wear No. 32. That was decided when C.J. Watson agreed to switch to No. 7, so Hamilton could have the number he wore with the Detroit Pistons.
Whether Hamilton will be allowed to wear his signature headband remains to be seen.
"To be honest with you, that hasn't even come up yet," general manager Gar Forman said. "That's a good question that I don't have an answer for right now."
The Bulls wouldn't let Ben Wallace wear a headband when he came to Chicago from Detroit in 2006. Hamilton not only wears a headband but also a mask after twice breaking his nose.
"We haven't allowed headbands," Forman said. "I don't know if with the mask that's required and where he is with the mask. That's something we'll look into."
Hamilton wasn't aware of the Bulls' long-standing team policy.
"Headband, mask, that's my look," he said. "That's like my cape. I can't live without it. I can't play without it. That's my twist."
Coach Tom Thibodeau said he just wants Hamilton to wear whatever makes him feel confident.
"I'm comfortable with the mask," he said. "If it helps him shoot, whatever he needs, I'm all for it."
Next move?
While the Bulls still have open roster spots, Forman said he's in no hurry to make another acquisition, although he has acknowledged that he'd like to add a forward or center eventually.
"We're not in a rush to add anyone," he said. "If the right guy comes along in whatever scenario and he fits with us, we'll make a move. If we don't, we'll stay with what we've got."
In flux
Thibodeau was still formulating his plan for the exhibition opener Friday night against the Indiana Pacers in Indianapolis.
"We'll play a lot of guys and just try to get them comfortable getting some minutes," he said when asked how he will handle the first of two preseason games. "The second one will probably be closer to a normal rotation, but this first one, we'll see. I don't think anyone knows how it will be until we get out there."

Contributions for a given tax year can be made through that year's filing deadline, excluding extensions.
The contribution deadline for a tax year will normally be April 15th of the following year, though occasionally we are given an extra day or two if April 15th falls on a Sunday or holiday.
You have until April 15, 2013 to make contributions for the 2012 tax year.
If you make a contribution for a tax year after the year end, however, be sure to make it clear to your financial institution that the contribution applies to the preceding tax year. If the contribution is accidentally applied to the current year and you later make additional contributions for the current year, you could end up with an excess contribution penalty if the total contributions exceed the annual limit. The penalty for excess contributions is an additional 10% "excise tax" on the excess contributions. This additional tax is reported on Form 5330.
The Savers Credit
Taxpayers with low or moderate incomes could also be eligible for a credit for retirement savings in addition to deferral of income tax. Woo hoo! The credit, formerly known as the Retirement Savings Contribution Credit, applies to taxpayers earning:
These limits are for 2012 and are subject to an annual adjustment.
The Savers Credit is non-refundable, meaning the credit can eliminate taxes but won't generate a refund.
The maximum credit is $1,000 and varies by income and filing status. To determine if you qualify, see Form 8880 and instructions.
I hope each of you has a wonderful 2013 and that your tax season is hassle free!

The issue of whether to allow genetically engineered meat and fish to go on sale in American grocery stores has gotten increasing media attention in recent months. First to appear on dining tables may be GMO salmon, as the FDA recently held what may be its last hearing regarding whether AquaBounty's trademarked GMO salmon is safe to eat.
But, as BusinessWeek reporter Molly Peterson pointed out, "Critics say they're particularly miffed that the FDA is reviewing AquaBounty's altered fish as a veterinary drug rather than creating a new review process for gene-altered foods." Alternet compiled a scathing indictment of the "junk science" behind AquaBounty's fish studies, and Grist noted the absurdity of "a regulatory system that puts the companies that want to sell you their genetically engineered product in charge of proving its safety."
The FDA hearings may be over, but you still have till November 22 to share your opinion via public comment.

Music 5000
Ah, the Music 500/5000! The hours I spent doing stuff with that little genius of a box. An 8-channel polyphonic synth add-on which could make a decent stab at emulating the commercial (and expensive) synths of the time, albeit in a somewhat fuzzy and grainy way.
The Music 5000 software was great too. A FORTH-like music language that allowed data structures and access to the Beeb's hardware, and synth hardware driver in ROM, with a complete "studio" environment (including 8-channel mixer, text editor and rudimentary music notation GUI for entering and editing music, plus bucketloads of sounds) in disk-based overlays.
Brilliant! Thanks Chris Jordan and Hybrid Research for your efforts!

"Unfortunately I got stuck on the Earth for rather longer than I intended," said Ford. "I came for a week and got stuck for fifteen years."
"But how did you get there in the first place then?"
"Easy, I got a lift with a teaser."
"A teaser?"
"Er, what is ..."
"A teaser? Teasers are usually rich kids with nothing to do. They cruise around looking for planets which haven't made interstellar contact yet and buzz them."
"Buzz them?" Arthur began to feel that Ford was enjoying making life difficult for him.
"Yeah", said Ford, "they buzz them. They find some isolated spot with very few people around, then land right by some poor soul whom no one's ever going to believe and then strut up and down in front of him wearing silly antennae on their heads and making beep beep noises. Rather childish really." Ford leant back on the mattress with his hands behind his head and looked infuriatingly pleased with himself.

my first experience with rumble:
i failed miserably and my team had to carry me. still, i think rumble is an amazing champ. he's one of those that needs a fair amount of practice, simply to get his mechanics down. most importantly, i think you need to be great at micromanaging his heat-bar, and i shoulda used my flame-thrower more to harass. cause it does a lot of damage, and the cooldown is only like 3 seconds. also his ult has a pretty ridiculously low cooldown. at least, it always feels like it is up. nice guide, might need some updating with recent patches? lets also take a moment to reflect on how awesome his flames look now. ty riot!

Caribbean Basin Economic Recovery Act: Impact on U.S. Industries and Consumers and on Beneficiary Countries, Twentieth Report 2009-10
Investigation No. 332-227
USITC Publication 4271
The overall effect of the Caribbean Basin Economic Recovery Act (CBERA) on the U.S. economy continues to be negligible, while the effect on U.S. consumers and beneficiary countries is small but positive, reports the U.S. International Trade Commission (USITC) in its most recent report monitoring imports under the program.
The USITC, an independent, nonpartisan, factfinding federal agency, recently issued its 20th report in a series monitoring imports under the CBERA. The CBERA program, operative since January 1, 1984, affords preferential tariff treatment to most products of 18 designated Caribbean and South American countries.
