(Vassals tearing it up on the third night of their August residency at Pianos)
I'm self-consciously aware that I shouldn't begin this essay about a band, not my own, with the first personal pronoun because it's just in bad taste and an insult to quote un quote objective music writing, but I really don't see any way to square this circle w/r/t my personal connection and history with the band, Vassals, so I'm just going to have to capitulate and go with it (the personal pronoun issue) since this is a blog and whose archetypical structure is predicated upon an uber-promotion of the subjective and also that this story has a beginning that kinda demands I start off with the word, "I."
So, I tell friends and acquaintances that if you're in the West Village, you're likely to find me in two (once three) locations: the restaurant Tremont sitting at the bar reading a book, eating a burger and probably talking up whomever is next to me or Cafe Minerva just next door, where I'm tipping back black tea, reading different books than the ones at Tremont but mostly just engaging in a good ol' bull session with my favorite guys in the place - Bill, Ian, Jeff (in absentia) and Shay Spence.
I got to know Shay through our mutual love/appreciation/fascination/knowledge of music and Shay knows its history down cold and we can usually trade back and forth factoids on the 1960s soul music Pandora usually promotes on the Minerva sound system around the 9-10pm hour. I would stand and talk to Shay so much in Minerva that people would look at me and motion to me for their checks. Not joking.
I knew Shay spent some time at Berklee but it wasn't until a matter of months ago that he let me in on his own musical pursuits with a band called Vassals (and this was AFTER I sent along my shitty demo his way first. Talk about modesty, man, his stuff is killer and he didn't even force it on me right away).

Talk about modesty, man, his stuff is killer and he didn't even force it on me right away).
Shay tuning up before the show
Anyway, I was sitting at table 12 (yes - I know the place that well) when Shay slipped the bands' website to me and after giving a good listen under a pair of still-serviceable 10 year old Bose headphones, I came up from my auditory retreat with the very eloquent synopsis of "Holy Shit!"
We'll get to the tunes, but let's give a little history first. Vassals formed a little over a year ago in Brooklyn featuring Shay Spence on bass and vocals, Jeff Fettig on guitar and Jon Smith on drums. The backstory is pretty interesting, so rather than give it the short shrift I'll let Shay explain:
Jeff and I were roommates while he was finishing Berklee and I was dropping out. We didn't really play music together then, and he moved to New York while myself and the rest of our roommates moved to Los Angeles, September 2009. I move to New York a year later and met Jon, who had become a good buddy and engineering partner of Jeff's. In January '11, Jeff left New York for a month to travel; I sublet his room in Bushwick to demo some new songs (in addition to having a great protools setup, Jeff also has a penchant for impulse buying various instruments. My demos from that month feature Jeff's banjo, mandolin, xylophone, pump organ, multiple accordions, and a very out of tune fender rhodes). When he returned, I showed Jeff what I had been working on. He dug it, got Jon to come over, and we began arranging my chamber-pop little songs into three-peice bangers. I don't know why we became such a loud band, maybe we were a little weary of the singer/songwriter & ensemble aesthetic that was trending in the musical circles (i.e. Bon Iver) and maybe it was just so damn cold that winter, and so damn hot that following summer, and rent was so damn high, and we kind of rediscovered our teenaged angst together.
Vassals performing "A Curse" at Pianos on the Lower East Side in Manhattan
Early on in "A Curse," one of the songs from Vassals' EP released in 2011, Shay sings, "Every block's newspaper box says Fall will be here soon," a line, when you repeat it to yourself, reveals a striking cadence of near iambic hexameter with internal rhyme. Now, usually a line of iambic hexameter seeks its concluding couplet, though none can be found here.
For a piece of poetry this lack of conclusion would be problematic, but for a song like this it makes sense, a tipped hand to the notion that these songs often stand on a sonic and structural precipice, their short three minutes climbing in intensity and then plateauing, only to repeat the process again until you are led to a cliff and pushed over into a chorus that acts as a tension-releasing free fall, which finally lands you at the bottom of a Sisyphean trailhead where you repeat the journey again.
Musically, it is probably easy to peg Vassals' songs as an update of the Pixies' quiet/loud binary opposition (and when you listen live - they are LOUD), but so much more can be found here in terms of the songs' restraint, craftsmanship and lyrical dexterity. From start to finish, Vassals' songs often grow in intensity from buoyant initial verses to bruising choruses, though upon close listening underneath a structure of pop melody remains. Even in the caustic, feedback-drenched choruses there is that insulating force of hummable melodies, channelling the charged energy of the songs like those overhead power lines carrying electricity across the country.
The payoff, then, to the musical restraint of Shay's songs is that the pop tendencies never become sentimental or cloying. Instead, they, the pop tendencies, are intertwined helix-like with the intensity of the music and a darker touch of lyrics. Note how in their latest single, "Informers," the interations choruses throughout the song go from a sweetly sung "off to bed, dear," to a harsher "come to me, dear" and finally, in the last moments of the song, "on my knees, dear," is sung with painful fervor.
At the end of the third night of their Pianos August residency I turned around from the front row with my camera and saw the crowd behind me had basically quadrupled in size since the beginning of the set. While there are always a few stragglers to any given show I highly doubt 75% of the final crowd happened to be stuck waiting for a delayed F train before the first song commence. It doesn't take too much cognitive horsepower, then, to figure out that a good portion of the crowd was drawn in from Pianos' larger, siphoned-off bar area during Vassals' set through the sounds coming off from the stage, resulting in a large mass that resembles, interestingly, the final overwhelming seconds of a Vassals song.
You'll hopefully have to make you own conclusion as you listen to the music, but I wouldn't be surprised if you are drawn in, too.
On a sidenote, I've FINALLY joined Twitter so you can follow me @KudosKudlow where 30% of my output will be pop culture theories (DuckTales was Reagan-era propaganda is a favorite invention of mine - the lucky dime was so representative of anti-progressive tax policy) and 40% will be focused on finding links between high literature and not so high stuff (Shakespeare invented the bromance, the link between Chaucer and Dumb and Dumber (fart jokes, basically)), etc. And... I don't know what the other 30% will be yet.

Lawrence & Wishart, a profit-seeking leftist publisher of the collected works of Marx and Engels, is threatening legal action against Marxists.org, a website run by a remnant of the last remaining English-speaking Marxists.
Marxists.org posts English-language translations of the works of Marx, Engels, Lenin and other bourgeois members of the Inevitable Wave of the Future. These are free. That's the problem. Lawrence & Wishart find it hard to compete against "free."
Half a century ago, when I was writing Marx's Religion of Revolution, I used at least one of the books published by Lawrence & Wishart. Most of the time, I used Progress Publishers editions. Progress Publishers, International Publishers, and Lawrence & Wishart got their translations from the Soviet Union, which subsidized the publication of books by Marx and Engels. This was a Marxist slave society's efforts to keep the tiny world of Communist publishing alive in capitalist nations. I mean, how else were a tiny band of English-speaking Communists expected to make a decent living without relying on the Gulag archipelago to help them keep the flame burning in the West?
As a scholar, I had mixed feelings about the collapse of the Soviet Union. It was nice to see Lenin's legacy goes the way of all flesh. But without the secret police to keep the faith alive in the USSR, the translation subsidies would cease. That was why the Marx-Engels Collected Works isn't complete. The Communist revolution went belly-up too early. The Communists should at least have had the courtesy to wait to shut down the whole experiment until after the Collected Works were complete. Sure, a hundred million people died — maybe 130 million, depending on the accuracy of Mao's records — in the experiment, but there weren't that many volumes left to translate, were there? (Yes, as it turned out: at least 70.) They should have hung on a little longer. They owed it to the academic world.
So, Marxists.org posted some of Lawrence & Wishart's USSR-funded translations online for free. Free! I mean, what kind of anti-capitalism is that? Anti-capitalism requires profits to persevere. Anyone who thinks that the proletarian revolution will come, despite some minor setbacks since 1991, is in a retirement home. His walker and his catheter are in good working order, but his eyes aren't what they used to be. So, with the prospects of Communist growing dim, the publishers of Soviet-subsidized translations figured that they would have to make the copyright system work for them.
Lawrence & Wishart has found a way. It is going to license its material to an outfit that will digitize it and sell it to tax-funded university libraries. Why do libraries need to buy this, when it's already digitized and online? Because it will soon be taken down. Why? Because libraries are supposedly willing to pay for it.

One has to be reallly sick to see Sullivan becaase his waiting time eats up your while Eddy. 2 - 3 hour wait is normal. Not suitable for working class. Must be on welfare or ODSP and don't have to worry about your bills to be apatient of this doctor. Another stress factor with heart conditions.

I was disappointed in the wait time to get in to see him but it was well worth it.His secretary gladly put me on a cancelation list and got me in before my scheduled appointment.I also liked that I had testing before seeing him, so I had some peace of mind knowing that things were ok while I waited for my consult.He took the time to address all my questions and didn't make me feel rushed.Although, I did call in wanting to see him sooner than my appointment and was told that there were "no available spots".But by leaving a message I didn't have to make the trip down to the office and my concerns were handled by phone which was very convenient.The staff were also very friendly and helpful and I would recommend him to everyone needing a cardiologist.

I really liked Dr Sullivan. He explained everything to me in a way that I understood without talking down to me - until it came to my medication. The nurses were rude when I asked about it and I haven't been able to get in to see him for a year. I'm changing Drs.

Dr. Hugh Sullivan is an extremely great cardiologist. He is polite, caring, thorough in his accessments and is up-to-date on everything pertaining to the heart. I certainly would recommend him to anyone needing a excellent cardiologist. I was a patient of his until I moved to Welland and just hope that I can find one as competent as he is.

1 Answer
Answer #1mastertech6371 November 02, 2011, 10:54Master
bad move. if the converter failed, and that is if it failed, metal has been put into the system and has contaminated the whole trans. besides, with the new one installed, it will contaminate that one as well.
you can get it aftermarket at a parts store or get a new one from the dealer.
Replyncol, November 02, 2011, 11:59Rookie
OK, thank you- it hasn't failed, I have had that rumbling at 40 mph for about 4 years and just want to address it now that we know what it is! In that case, do you still say don't replace torque converter only?
Replymastertech6371, November 02, 2011, 12:03Master
yep, it is failing and will most likely fail and the most in opportune time.
I believe in being pro active in this rather than re active when it fails.

'Paranoia' Blu-ray Review
by Phil Wheat
Set in the cut-throat world of technology and corporate power Paranoia is an espionage thriller based on the book by Robert Finder, which sees the world's two most powerful tech billionaires and bitter adversaries stopping at nothing to outwit and destroy each other's business empires. But when a young rising star (Hemsworth) falls between them, he becomes trapped in the middle of the rivals' life-and-death game of corporate espionage.

"I Don't Like To Be on Everyone's Lips"
We enter a room. There, an utterly elegant Harrison Ford in a gray suit, short gray hair and a youthful earring on his left ear, is expecting for us. He stands up, goes to the minibar and offers water. A courtesy that allows me to ask about his attitude with journalists since his last answer about the subject two years ago was "to give an interview is like to go to the dentist."
"Do Not Confuse Me with the Guy That Appears On the Screen"
Tension rules the galaxy. The most powerful weapon of the Empire, the Death Star, threatens to disintegrate the last remaining of the resistance. A group of rebels sails their ships regardless hope.

"One thing for sure, Han Solo could not die hit by a cab" – Harrison laughs. But beyond his joke, the actor confesses that he wanted Han Solo to die in Return of the Jedi. "I thought he deserved a heroic death. I thought at that point, the most sensitive and moving thing for Han to do was sacrifice himself so the rest of the main characters would be able to survive."

Heck, I used to be an Indianapolis Colts season ticket holder when Jef George was the starting quarterback ... and I am still a Colts fan.

Occupy Wall Street Now Has Formal Declaration with 22 GrievancesSubmitted by Habit4ming on Fri, 09/30/2011 - 17:19
There is a declaration from those at "Occupy Wall Street on Facebook" , of whom are stating a Call to Action.
"As we gather together in solidarity to express a feeling of mass injustice, we must not lose sight of what brought us together. We write so that all people who feel wronged by the corporate forces of the world can know that we are your allies.
As one people, formerly… divided by the color of our skin, gender, sexual orientation, religion, or lack thereof, political party and cultural background, we acknowledge the reality: that there is only one race, the human race, and our survival requires the cooperation of its members; that our system must protect our rights, and upon corruption of that system, it is up to the individuals to protect their own rights, and those of their brethren; that a democratic government derives its just power from the people, but corporations do not seek consent to extract wealth from the people and the Earth; and that no true democracy is attainable when the process is determined by economic power. We come to you at a time when corporations, which place profit over people, self-interest over justice, and oppression over equality, run our governments. We have peaceably assembled here, as is our right, to let these facts be known.
1. They have taken our houses through an illegal foreclosure process, despite not having the original mortgage.
2. They have taken bailouts from taxpayers with impunity, and continue to give CEO's exorbitant bonuses.
3. They have perpetuated gender inequality and discrimination in the workplace.
4. They have poisoned the food supply, and undermined the farming system through monopolization.
5. They have continuously sought to end the rights of workers to negotiate their pay and make complaints about the safety of their workplace.
6. They have held students hostage with tens of thousands of dollars of debt on education, which is itself a human right.
7. They have consistently outsourced labor and used that outsourcing as leverage to cut workers' healthcare and pay.
8. They have influenced the courts to achieve the same rights as people, with none of the culpability or responsibility.
9. They have spent millions of dollars on legal teams that look for ways to get them out of contracts in regards to health insurance.

So you were born with the right to take me as your slave?
"6. They have held students hostage with tens of thousands of dollars of debt on education, which is itself a human right."
Me being forced to pay your debt is now a human right? So you were born with the right to take me as your slave?
I don't think so. I say we serve justice on these OWS Communists and looters. They're hypocrites who have NO PROBLEM with the scams. What they want is the power those scams offer; the power to loot their neighbors.
Woe to the nation when this latter purpose prevails...
"Men naturally rebel against the injustice of which they are victims.
Thus, when plunder is organized by law for the profit of those who make the law, all the plundered classes try somehow to enter — by peaceful or revolutionary means — into the making of laws.
According to their degree of enlightenment, these plundered classes may propose one of two entirely different purposes when they attempt to attain political power: Either they may wish to stop lawful plunder, or they may wish to share in it.
Woe to the nation when this latter purpose prevails among the mass victims of lawful plunder when they, in turn, seize the power to make laws!
Until that happens, the few practice lawful plunder upon the many, a common practice where the right to participate in the making of law is limited to a few persons.
But then, participation in the making of law becomes universal. And then, men seek to balance their conflicting interests by universal plunder.
Instead of rooting out the injustices found in society, they make these injustices general. As soon as the plundered classes gain political power, they establish a system of reprisals against other classes.
They do not abolish legal plunder. (This objective would demand more enlightenment than they possess.) Instead, they emulate their evil predecessors by participating in this legal plunder, even though it is against their own interests.
It is as if it were necessary, before a reign of justice appears, for everyone to suffer a cruel retribution — some for their evilness, and some for their lack of understanding."
The Law

They coulda been something but have definitely chosen the wrong path. Now they totally lost my interest, not that I was particularly interested in them, anyway.
If Tyranny and Oppression come to this land, it will be in the guise of fighting a foreign enemy.
James Madison
Now, I do..
Now, I do love 'let's all be friends' speeches, but starting with words like "wronged by the corporate forces", "members", "our system", "our rights" comes off as usual, socialistic. It looks to be the same ol' thing from the occupy movement. Ignoring the real big problem (Government) and going after the middle men (business owners).
Let me get this straight... You want the fascist government that gave those corporate fascists more power to take away that power? HA! That's like telling your boss that they're fired LOL
Get in line and heil Obama, while the real freedom fighters get stuff done.
Occupy spreads to L.A.
All seem to have been approved by Congress or the Executive.
Whole protest smells like rotten fish.
Free includes debt-free!
We've got basically nothing in common with this group
#2 and #11 are the only common ground, possibly including #22. #19 is close but it leaves me asking a lot of questions. Some of them Others are simply outrageous-- particularly number 6 which is just defies all logic whatsoever. Some of them aren't even bad things, like #7 and #9.
I've been covering this protest from Day 1
Yes, I
am aware there is a very long thread about Occupy Wall Street. This Declaration is something new; I did a Daily Paul search--didn't see it posted, so I started a thread on it.
As far as that goes, many times I start a thread, it falls off the page and later on one or more people will start the same thread. It happens.

I looked on the FB page, but I can't find this information anywhere.
Lots on information floating around, I've been covering this for a while and would like to find its original source.
When I click on the
link to facebook (first line at the truthdenied link), it takes me to that facebook page. I found it by scrolling down about 1 3/4". It was posted yesterday at 1:22 PM. Hope this information helps you find it.

For all issues in general,
For all issues in general, but with this protest in particular, I am very skeptical of the information that is being posted. I've seen such a wide range of claims as to the who the protesters are and what they believe, so clearly so of the information is in error and/or put out to misinformation people
Thanks, I searched and found
Thanks, I searched and found it at the official site, the only difference was the last part about Davis, strange.
There seems to be a lot of accusations, but
nothing founded in a court of law. To persue Wallstreet requires more than conjecture, inuendo, and unvented legal process and more than just anger.
Sorry I am not defending Wallstreet but rather defending the American LAW process. To enrage without due process would go against all we here stand for. It would not be American.
It sounds foreign to me, as if it is part of deception.
oh boy. seems like the
oh boy. seems like the communists want all their "rights". Ron Paul is the cure, too bad most of them will never get it.
They just do not get the message because
they are not of us.
I have
very mixed feelings about the whole thing. I agree with some of the grievances but many seem to have a socialist agenda. I do want We the People to unite, no matter our beliefs--unite under those things we do agree upon--and worry about the other stuff later.
However, something about this whole thing just feels wrong. Whether it was a set-up from the beginning, or has been hijacked, or whether agent provocateurs will be used to incite violence and perhaps even further erode our right to peaceably assembly...something about it just doesn't sit well with me. I hope I am wrong!

Canadian anarcho-socialists
Canadian anarcho-socialists are the root of the problem... that, and the fact that most of the 'movement' is addled with aimless unemployed students.
I hope so ,too
If it remains peaceful, then I will be less concerned with what message is being taught. More power to them if they can keep it so. If not, I hope the other demonstrators will have the ability, numbers and unity to nip any violence in the bud themselves.

"Loved these...and got lots of requests for the recipe!"

"I gave this frosting 5 stars with a coupld modifications to the recipe.As is, the frosting has the BEST texture...nice and smooth, not grainy at all like a powdered sugar frosting.However, it wasn't quite sweet enough for me, so at the end I added in a little powdered suger to taste. Also added in some cocoa powder. With those modificati..."
"Very good! I used cubed chicken breasts and added some chopped onion and bell pepper. Great flavor!"
"DELICIOUS! I used fresh bluberries and just 1/2 C sugar and it was perfect! Will never buy from the store again! Thanks!!!"
"This is a great recipe! I used red delicious and left the skins on...gave the sauce a nice pink tinge and tasted great!"
"I was looking for a great waffle recipe to make for Easter and aftering trying a couple iffy ones, this one came out amazing!Brushing a little olive oil on the iron before each waffle really gave them a nice crispy texture.The only change I made was to add a little more vanilla for extra flavor.Thanks for the recipe!!"
"I hate to not give a 5 star rating, but these waffles came out way too flat for my taste. They had good flavor, but were more like pancakes than waffles. The ones toward the end were a little fluffier than the beginning, so I'd suggest letting the batter sit for awhile first. It could be I did something wrong, since everyone else seemed to love..."
"This was wonderful! I used 2 packages of chocolate mousse (instead of pudding) and 2X as much fresh whipped heavy cream. 10 of us finished it off (although it serves 20), so I guess everyone liked it! I'll definitely make again."
"I tried this recipe a few months ago and have now made it about 4 more times already! My husband and I LOVE it!! Although we use the same amount of chilies each time, sometimes it's not spicy at all and sometimes it's really spicy. It's always a great meal though! Thanks for sharing!"

Top Local Tips for Hollywood
O'Hara's Go downtown for some nightlife. Short taxi ride ($5) to Hollywood Blvd/Harrison Street for live music at O'Hara's or Sushi Blues. Check for Ruby Baker at O'Hara's or Juanita Dixon at Sushi Blues. Escape "resort" entertainment and get some local flavor.
Food in the area: foodies beware Let's be real; a large proportion of people in Southern Florida cannot taste or chew their food very well. This is reflected in the cuisine! There is no shortage of restaurants in Florida, but they rarely compete with the food in major cities. Just because a place has high prices and ambitious-sounding menu items does not mean the food will be good (case in point: Nikki Marina and its mediocre sushi). If you're a foodie, don't set your expectations too high. Also, there IS good food to be found in the area, but you have to look around. Some of my favorites are the Greek Islands restaurant in Ft. Lauderdale (sublime), Argentango in Hollywood (get the skirt steak), and JBs (great seafood on the beach) in Deerfield.
Le Tub Great earthy place for a burger!

|Castes of India
|Landlord, Gentry, Scribe
|Populated States
Menon is a Kshatriya subdivision of the Nair caste of Kerala and was an honorific hereditary title to be used as an affix to the name and investituted by the Sāmudiri Rāja or some other recognized princely chief of Kerala on certain members of Kiryathil and Akattu Charna classes of Nayars[1]. Some of them are devoted to administrative duties and involved writing and casting accounts.[1] The recipient of the title held it lifelong or his family held it in perpetuity along the matrilineal line, depending on the amount of money known as Adiyara paid for securing the same and as soon as a person was dignified with this title he was presented with an Ola (palmyra leaf for writing on) and a style, the symbols of an accountant.[2]
The royal families of Cochin and south Malabar marry only from Menon families. The Paliam Menon family were among the chief nobles of Cochin, only second to the Cochin Royal Family besides being blood related. Other prominent Menon families in Kerala include Shakthan Thampuran of Cohin and many royals married from this Tharavadu), Thottakkat, Marayil, Kuruppathu etc, who have been aristocrats in Cochin from early ages.
The term Menon is derived from the Malayalam word Melevan (mel means superior and avan, he). Thus the title Menon refers to superior person among Nāyars performing administrative duties.
Although some families dignified with the title Menon were initially scribes by profession, most of them assisted Rājās of different counties in pre-democratic Kerala as military generals commanders, administrative officers, ministers etc and included many important personalities of Kerala. Prominent Menon families in Kerala include Kalpalli Pulapra, Korappath, Kuruppathu (Vadakke Kurupathu and Thekke Kurupathu : Women of this Tharavād were involved in hypergamous union with princes such as Shakthan Thampuran of Cochin), Manikkath, Mambalikalam, Ambat, Thottakkat, Marayil, Chempolly Mancheeri, Perumpilavil, Puthezhath, Panickath, Kannanthodath, Menonparambi and so on. In Palakkad Dist some of the traditional Menon families are Tattamangalam Puthillath, Tattamangalam Parakkat, Nallepilly Athickat,Kavilpad mutathil, Variath ,Meleveedu and so on.
It is believed that the title 'Menon' came from the Malayalam words-Melavan , meaning one who is higher in social position and that it is a honour given to those Nairs who performed some extraordinary feat.The Menon title is taken from Mother's side . as per Matrilineal system . that is a person can take the title Menon only if his mother's side has that side and not from his father's side . People belonging to present generation do not use this prefix or title . The title Menon is in general hereditary and only those whose investiture by the Sāmudiri Rāja or some other recognized chief is undisputed, they or their descendants (in the female line), may use it. Those invested pay a small fee to the Sāmudiri Rāja. Those who belong to the sub-clan who owe Lordship to the Sāmudiri Rāja look to him even now to settle their caste disputes, and for permission to perform the tālikettu ceremony. Menons enjoyed a prominent position in the traditional nair society.
Menons are divided into three categories based on the services they render [3]. (1) Charna Menon (2) Menon Panicker (3) Pattola Menon
Palghat Royal Family is a part of the Menon Panicker subcaste. The present Maharajah is Sri Palakkatsseri Valiyaraja Manikyamelidam Shekhari Varma, who currently resides in Singapore. He is the only son of K. P. Kesava Menon and Akathethara Manikyamelidam Laxmi Nethyaramma. The crown prince is P.A.M.Harigovind Menon.[4]

Product Description
Anderson Ford Motorsports Power Pipe Cold Air Intake Kit for 1994-1995 Vortech Equipped 5.0L GT and Cobra Mustangs.Anderson POWER PIPES were developed because of the need for a supercharger intake pipe that would flow at a higher rate of CFM, with a larger volume of air, brought on by the demand that Vortech superchargers have when making 10 lb of boost or more. Performance improvements with this innovative design have been fantastic!
The AFM Power Pipe, with its all mandrel bent, ceramic coated construction, is the highest flowing inlet pipe available for centrifugal superchargers. AFM also located the mass air in the inner fender-well for a cooler intake charge.
This Power Pipe flows 1235 cfm at 20.4" of water, as tested on AFM's Super Flow 1200 flow bench.
*For Vortech S / T / YSI Trim superchargers.

Premium 64bit
RT7lite component removal
1. For scanners attached to printers, do I have to keep both the Drivers->printers and Drivers->scanners? (would just leaving printers suffice)
2. For the storage controller drivers, are most of them needed when you don't have drives that are explicitly branded under the brands? For example, I see Nvidia and ATI in there, I'm not sure if they refer to something under the hood. Will the video card not function if they are removed?
3. Under Drivers->system, what are these for and are they needed.
AGP Filter (for agp graphics only?)
EAP Host (for wireless only?)
HD Audio Bus Driver (for display/usb audio only?)
Intel Quick DATA Technology device (for intel storage controllers like Ich only?)
LSI raid virtual device (for LSI raid cards only?)
IEEE 1667 (for firewire only?)
PCMCIA Controller (for notebook cards only?)
Digital Media Services (for windows media center only?)
4. Under Multimedia, and a host of other places, what are these "windows picture acquisition" and related tickboxes referring to? If they are disabled will scanners or all images not load? Because I use my devices like cameras like dumb storage devices, dragging and dropping like with any basic external drive.
5. About internet explorer, since 10 is the newest incarnation, does what comes with the disk have to be kept in order to get 10? (it has entries in both permanently remove and default features)
6. Under services, is the Group Policy Client only for creating homegroups?
7. Are Upnp features for devices in a network only? (i.e. directly plugging something into
8. Is NAP (everything related to it) for networking/hosting only?
9. For windows search, if I don't need the deep indexing feature do I remove anything from the get-go or should it be disabled after installation? (can't figure out if any of the tickboxes in rt7lite removes search completely)
Thank you.

Win7 x 6 PC's
Why are you trimming Win7, already the leanest overhead Windows ever? Is it for disk size on a netbook? This is the only reason I would consider doing so. We did plenty of testing here during beta with Vlite and found there is nothing to gain from doing this otherwise, and plenty of unintended consequences.
Win7 is already as light as it can possibly be, always instantaneous and never hangs on adequate hardware with a perfect install. Check the former with Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor and the latter against Clean Reinstall - Factory OEM Windows 7

16GB isnt much when compared to today's hard disk sizes. But the principle is that we are "doing less with more". Windows 7 doesnt have that many more features than Win XP. Yet the install is 10 times the size! Tens of thousands of files. The .Net content of Windows 7 alone is larger than a full XP install.
I can understand why some yearn for the days when an OS was well under a gig in size. Especially for a VM.

Windows 7 Pro. 64/SP-1
Welcome to our Forum Dexx.
Windows 7 size in GB compared to XP means nothing. It is what it is.
If you start doing things (hacks, tinkers ect) like we all did with XP you will create nothing but problems with Windows 7.
Windows 7 is bigger but better. Give yourself and Windows 7 a little time to get use to each other.

The "Big Chop" is a phrase used by naturals for when a woman cuts off her relaxed hair to begin her natural journey. "One of the chief concerns for women getting ready to make the Big Chop is looking too masculine with short hair. I always recommend that women taper the sides and leave more length at the top for a more feminine short look."

ON Semiconductor's New Video Signal Processor ICs Reduce Power Consumption And Enhance Picture Quality For Small LCD Panels
ON Semiconductor (Nasdaq: ONNN), driving innovation in energy efficiency, has released two new highly integrated image signal processor ICs ideal for use in applications such as vehicle reversing cameras, in-vehicle navigation systems and various consumer video monitoring security systems where small LCD screens are utilized. The LC749000PT for automotive applications and the LC749000AT for consumer products support important end application energy savings and utilize advanced signal technology to improve the picture quality of digitally compressed images.
Capable of supporting installations with screen resolutions up to Wide Video Graphics Array (WVGA), the LC749000PT and LC749000AT integrate an analog to digital converter (ADC) which receives direct analog picture signal inputs from a camera. The built-in picture decoding circuit is able to decode analog picture signals in both NTSC and PAL formats. The size of the decoded picture signal is then adjusted according to the resolution of the connected LCD panel by a de-interlacer / scaler to enhance the picture quality. The 24bit RGB output or 18bit RGB output with dithering function is then transferred to the application LCD panel by a built-in programmable timing controller.
ON Semiconductor's new image signal processor ICs incorporate features designed to optimize the displayed image. These include a scaler, which scales video output to the correct display resolution automatically, and a calibration function, which makes rough gradients smooth. Meanwhile, a built-in dynamic gamma feature helps to improve low light visibility and display contrast in video and camera applications used in variable light conditions. Programmable gamma allows fast, easy and convenient calibration of LCD panels.
Both new devices feature a built-in onscreen display (OSD) function which allows text characters to be superimposed on the picture data. These devices also have a built-in OSD switch that achieves more advanced graphical overlays by employing an additional graphics IC. Meanwhile, pulse width modulation (PWM) supports adaptive LED backlight control functionality that can help yield valuable application power savings of approximately 35 percent. The LC749000PT and LC749000AT are controlled by an external microcontroller via an I2C or serial peripheral interface (SPI). Hardware-driven picture processing minimizes the burden on the software of the microcontroller and in vehicle camera applications. External fast EEPROM booting ensures that the LCD panel is operational immediately after the vehicle engine is switched on – an important feature for rear back-up cameras and many other non-automotive applications.

Pregnancy & Birth Services
It's an honor to work with families across the entire spectrum of conception, pregnancy, birth and parenting. As a holistic health practitioner and certified prenatal massage therapist, I have the privilege of working with people in a very personal way as they create families and move through life's transitions and transformations.
As a pregnancy and birth professional, my intention is to provide all families support from a culturally sensitive, open-minded and heart-centered space. I embrace, serve, celebrate and welcome families of all kinds: single parent, co-parents, LGBTQ, surrogacy, adoption, people of all cultures, spiritual beliefs, sexual orientations and gender identities. Visit Progressive Wellness Project for more information regarding PWP resources, retreats, classes and community events!
I believe in educated, informed choices. I trust that each individual knows what is best for their own body. I support every decision you make at any stage of conception, pregnancy and birth. I believe everyone should have the support they want and need and the ability to have the birth they truly desire regardless of how and where they choose to give birth. I also feel strongly that money should never be what's standing in the way from having support or creating your ideal birth experience. I'm dedicated to providing affordable prices on all my services and I'm willing to work on a sliding scale and offer payment plans based on your individual needs. I also welcome trades and provide volunteer work whenever possible.
My journey as a pregnancy and birth professional started many years ago while I was in nursing school. A lot came up for me personally during my clinical experience with Labor and Delivery. I had mixed feelings after graduation; having incredible admiration for nurses, knowing that there is an important time and a place for western medicine, but also wanting to continue exploring, knowing that I hadn't quite found my niche. Exploration meant doing something out my comfort zone. I moved to Denver and joined AmeriCorps NCCC (National Civilian Community Corps) which is a National Service Organization. I served as a corps member and then as a team leader on service projects and disaster relief teams all over the Country. Needless to say, I had some pretty life changing, "soul searching" experiences during that time. After my two years of service, I returned home to San Diego, where I was born and raised, to be near my family.
I reconnected with my passion for health and wellness while in school to become a holistic health practitioner. I've been fortunate enough to have my own practice specializing in perinatal holistic massage for the last three years. I'm constantly learning from every single one of my clients and I appreciate the experience and knowledge I have gained during these last few years. I feel honored and grateful to have a career that I love with an opportunity to connect with amazing people everyday.
I'm a pet mom of two, wife, daughter, little sister, granddaughter, niece, cousin and friend. I love the mountains. The cute little mountain town of Idyllwild, Ca is my sanctuary. I'm incredibly passionate about all things related to food and nutrition. I recently became a certified health coach, specializing in pregnancy and postpartum nutrition.
I would love to support you during this time! Please contact me if you have any questions or if you would like more information!

oil cooler bypass
gossimer68 Posts: 1
edited April 16 in Chevrolet
I'm in a jam. I replaced my radiator, '94 Astro with factory engine oil cooler, and my engine oil cooler outlet (lower) line broke at the fitting. No one in the area has a line in stock and I really need the van. Can I cut the lines to bypass the radiator until I can get the correct line? Will this harm anything? I would figure it would be as if it were never there. Thank you.

Jo Malone Earl Grey & Cucumber Cologne
Jo Malone is basically the leader of the pack when it comes to luxury fragrance. I adore the unusual fragrance combinations they have and this new addition is no different – I'm not a tea drinker myself, but had you asked me if I wanted to smell like a cup of Earl Grey, I'd probably look at you a bit funny and walk away.
Now throw in Cucumber and you definitely have me thinking you're a bit on the odd side – but this ultimately very British combination really, really works. Of course, it's not for everyone – but I absolutely love the scent.
Described on the Jo Malone London website as 'A British tradition…afternoon tea. A fragrance with a burst of bergamot, distinct to Earl Grey, and the cool succulence of crunchy cucumber. Counterpoised with a sweet base of beeswax, vanilla and musk. Reviving and refined."
This description really hits the nail on the head – it's a combination of fresh and slightly musky/powdery – not an overwhelming floral so if you're not a girly girl and prefer your fragrances on the unique side I'd definitely check this out.
Personally, I absolutely adore this and have worn it daily for the last few weeks – I also have been layering it with Molecule 01 as these two work really well together – but more on this later.
What do you think of the idea of Earl Grey and Cucumber Cologne??
Available from jomalone.com £38 for 30ml

I love Jo Malone perfumes as the scent combinations are always so different to the usual perfumes on the high street! I'm not an Earl Grey lover but I do enjoy the smell so I really want to check this fragrance out.

Earl Gray and Cucumber is the most unique and intereting fragrance combination I have heard of! I will have to seek this out for a sniff.

I'm a recent convert to Jo Malone, after buying the Blackberry & Bay fragrance at Christmas (from me, to me). This one I smelt recently and love it. The perfect summer scent!

Definitely a very interesting combo, have to check it out next time I'm in London… Is there any fragrance you can compare it with?

Seahawks WR Baldwin questionable
RENTON, Wash. (AP)
Wide receiver Doug Baldwin is questionable for the Seattle Seahawks on Monday night against Green Bay because of a shoulder injury.
WHO SETS THE CURVE?Check out the FOXiest fans from stadiums across the country and tweet us your photo.
Baldwin didn't participate in practice Saturday, the second straight day the Seahawks leading receiver from 2011 did not practice. Coach Pete Carroll says Baldwin banged his shoulder in practice earlier in the week, but that Baldwin believes he will be able to play.
Left tackle Russell Okung is listed as probable and is expected to start after missing last week's win over Dallas with a bone bruise in his left knee. Running back Marshawn Lynch (back), tight end Zach Miller (foot), and wide receivers Charly Martin (chest) and Sidney Rice (rest) are also all listed as probable for the Monday night game.

Established in 1988 and now a command in the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA), the JITC has been on the leading edge of interoperability testing of information processing and communications systems since its inception. Its UCore CTE Facility, operated on behalf of the UCore Management Program Office, is provide a one-stop shop for UCore implemetation certification.
The JITC conformance test programs have made a significant impact on improving interoperability among disparate United States Government systems.

UCore is designed to be simple to understand, explain, and implement. It is small, containing a minimal set of objects with broad applicability across a wide range of domains. UCore leverages existing commercial and governmental standards (i.e. DOD Discovery Metadata Specification (DDMS), Geography Markup Language (GML), and Intelligence Community Information Security Markings (IC ISM)). UCore is designed to be extensible and through the framework supports the concept of levels of understanding to provide data to both the anticipated and unanticipated user.
UCore leverages the successes of efforts such as the National Information Exchange Model (NIEM), Maritime Domain Awareness Data Sharing Community of Interest (MDA DS COI), Strike COI, Cursor on Target (CoT), and Law Enforcement Information Sharing Program (LEISP).

Innovation Is Risky – But What's The Risk Of The Same Old Supplier Relationships?
Posted by Christine Ferrusi Ross on May 22, 2012
- 514 Recommendations
- 0 comments
Sourcing and Vendor Management professionals aren't known for their high risk tolerance. In fact, most focus a significant portion of their time reducing risks in their supplier base, protecting the business from supplier-related risk.
That's admirable and necessary. Of course the business shouldn't be subjected to predictable and preventable risk events. But let's think for a minute about what risks we're really avoiding: Are we avoiding the unnecessary risks that we could see coming? Or are we so focused on reducing any risk that we're not able to take advantage of new opportunities that could transform our businesses?
Innovation has once again become a business imperative — because of the shaky economy, not in spite of it. Many SVM professionals tell me that being innovative in both what you buy AND how you buy it is what will make sure their businesses stay viable regardless of the economic situation. Innovation requires us to think about new technologies, and most likely new suppliers. It also requires us to think differently about how we manage those supplier relationships.
So what are the new supplier-related risks we face in this innovation-focused environment? We asked Jason Busch, Azul Partners, one of our keynote speakers at the SVM Forum this week, this question. He recorded his answer for us here:
And if his response leads you to have follow-on questions, don't forget to tweet them with the hashtag #SVM12. We'll ask him for you during the forum.
