My readers know that while I am completely on-board and bullish about Intel's (NASDAQ:INTC) 4th generation Core processors (codenamed "Haswell"), my belief is that these will merely put the company's PC/convertible business back on-track to mid single digit growth. Now, this is certainly a wonderful business, and given that Intel is a mega-cap with a $54B revenue base, this is certainly not small feat. However, the real show-stopper - and what I believe will put the client business on the double-digit CAGR map - will be products based on the "Silvermont" Atom core, and it starts with the tablet-oriented system-on-chip called "Bay Trail".
There's A Lot Of Volume Down Below...
Anybody who has paid attention to the investor presentations that Intel has given at countless roadshows will be familiar with the following slide:
The ideas here are simple:
- From $199 to $550, we will see "Bay Trail" powered tablets, notebooks, Chromebooks, and "2-for-1" convertibles.
- From $550 to $999+ we see premium "Haswell" powered devices
So, at the high end, we see that Intel will be selling its "Haswell" parts. The people who want/need performance, or simply want to have a higher end device, will still keep buying "Haswell" based systems. The chip dies are more expensive to make, and as a result, cost more - the customer pays for performance.
But my guess is that the new, sexy designs of Ultrabooks and even non-Ultrabook higher end notebooks will get back onto a low to mid single digit growth curve for the following reasons:
- The designs and form factors are just "sexy". While "Sandy Bridge" and "Ivy Bridge" notebooks went a good way to making notebooks thinner, notebooks still suffered from really lousy displays, lack of touch, and yes even bulkier designs, the "Haswell" based designs being demo'd at Computex are absolutely gorgeous
- Battery life gets a huge boost, thanks to a dramatic reduction in idle power and new low power states that keep the processor from wasting energy in periods of little operation
- Fanless "Core" based tablets are now possible, and were even demonstrated with Intel's reference "North Cape 2" design as well as a design from HP (NYSE:HPQ)
That being said, a massive volume spike isn't going to come from $550+ devices; Intel will need to play aggressively in the lower cost markets, too. Why is this?
My view of it goes like this: most people have a limited amount of money to spend, and at the $399 price point (where entry laptops and high end tablets coexist), people will want to buy the best product that they can. Today, a $399 Google (NASDAQ:GOOG) Nexus 10 is a much "better" device in many ways than the generic $349 laptops that you find on Newegg.com. Here is a set of reviews of a $349 laptop that highlights just why low end PCs are dying:
While I urge you to read these "reviews", the main points are:
- Lousy touch pad (user experience fail)
- Bad WiFi
- Slow
- Feels cheap
From this we can develop the following broad congruence classes for what fundamentally needs to change in the PC industry:
- User input is a big deal and should be intuitive/bug-free
- Connectivity is integral to today's PC user experience
- Speed is still important (both graphics and CPU) - "good enough" is only so until the user can have something better
- Build quality is important
Is it any surprise that even at $499+, Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) was able to sell a boatload of iPads, and then when the iPad mini offered the same quality at $329, those sold like hotcakes, too?
The key take-away is that Intel needs to get a high performance, cheap-to-manufacture chip for the low end to the market as soon as possible in order to free up both bill-of-materials and power budgets towards making the lower end Windows notebooks/convertibles as well as Android notebooks/convertibles that are still high quality machines. The problems with the current "Celeron" and "Pentium" low end products that are castrated "Core i3" parts are the following:
- The die sizes are larger than what the ARM guys have by virtue of the fact that while these are disabled/less functional parts based off of "big core" dies
- The power consumption - particularly at idle - of these castrated "Core" processors was high and cheap PCs don't have a lot of budget for a battery, which meant that low end PCs have really lousy battery life
- A little known fact by the investment community: Intel's "Celeron" and "Pentium" low end chips - just like their high end brethren - also require a separate chip known as a "southbridge" that controls USB, Serial ATA, and other peripheral functions. Not only is this another chip to worry about, it is usually built on a generation or two older process technology, so this itself usually consumed plenty of power
- The "southbridge" also wasn't cheap (~$30 - $40), so that ate more into the bill-of-materials, further compounding the problems that I mentioned above of crappy displays and even crappier battery life
Now, interestingly enough, it seems that Intel will be taking the "castrated Core" based Celeron and Pentium chips to the woodshed and will instead replace them with a single-chip, Atom-based processor known as "Bay Trail-M":
This, I believe, has the following effects for Intel:
- Intel will be able to command roughly the same, if not slightly more, per smaller-die SoC since Intel is now selling one - probably overall smaller - chip. This means that gross margins stay intact
- Intel's OEM partners will have bigger power/space/money budgets to make even the lower end designs more compelling and drive volume at the low end of the compute continuum
- Intel's SoC volumes will skyrocket, blended ASPs will decline (by the law of averages, not due to margin erosion at the high end)
- Intel will need to find something to do with older generation fabs that aren't building chipsets
I would like to elaborate further on this last point, as I believe that it has some serious puts and takes from the perspective of the investor.
The Older Fabs - What To Do With Them?
Remember when Intel said that its fabs were at ~50% idle a quarter or two ago and that Intel was taking down older generation capacity for 14nm? You don't think that it was taking down 22nm plants do you?
No way. The stuff that goes first is obviously the older generation - think 65nm, 45nm, and 32nm. Intel has been gearing up for the launch of its 22nm SoCs, server parts, and Haswell - so taking down 22nm capacity would be absolutely silly! The capacity that was probably on the chopping block was 32nm, since the capacity here would be used primarily for chipsets accompanying the 22nm server and "Haswell" parts. These chipset die are much, much smaller than the CPU die and as a result not as much capacity here is needed. Current 32nm Atom volumes are pretty negligible now and should trend to zero as all of the Atoms for phones/tablets/micro-servers shift to 22nm parts.
Anyway, so I believe that instead of building chipsets for Ultrabook-oriented "Core" and "Atom" processors going forward, Intel will use the fully depreciated n-1 generation fabs to flood the "cheap" tablet/smartphone markets with older generation, cheap-to-make, older generation parts to gain market share, particularly in emerging markets. This would make life very tough for the likes of MediaTek and AllWinner as Intel's older generation parts would provide better performance and be priced to move, while the high end commands all of the pricing power.
There is probably enough volume in entry smartphones and tablets to more than offset the loss of PC chipset volume, and I still think that traditional high end desktop and parts of the server market will still rely on a two-chip solution, although in a world where even the data-center requires massive power efficiency/TCO reduction, Intel will - in a bid to keep its low power, very efficient Atoms - give the Xeon line every competitive edge with respect to integration/power efficiency to avoid cannibalization.
Intel will be able to enable much higher quality and much lower price points for its entry level PCs/convertibles going forward, and I think that this not only will help Intel solidity market segment share across the computing continuum, but it will ultimately help Intel continue to scale the volumes that it needs in order to justify investments in future fabrication technology. When wafers grow to 450mm, and when transistors shrink massively in size, Intel's going to need to be selling a lot of chips, and the cheaper the devices that Intel gets into, the more volume it can ultimately drive.
Intel realizes this, and that's why "Bay Trail" was pulled into 2013 when it was initially going to be a 2014 event. This Christmas, everybody will be buying these cheap, high quality, touch enabled laptops/convertibles/all-in-one PCs, and it will be enabled thanks to "Bay Trail". "Haswell" keeps the high end of the computing market alive, particularly in tablets and ultrathin notebooks, but there is just so much more volume to be had at lower price points that I believe that investors cannot afford to ignore the Atom story.

The amount they paid was small but I achieved a lot.
Join 35,000+ people just like you who get our free newsletter.
After that I never looked back, and within 4 years I had already done around 375 small and big projects. Today I work on my own terms and conditions from my home. I am even in the Top 50 freelancers list of that site. I also completed successful projects at Guru and Rent-a-coder later on. Even without a portfolio site I got steady work. These sites give you a very good break, confidence, money and projects for your portfolio too. I've experienced it myself.
Seven Golden Rules of finding work on freelancing sites
From my own experience here are seven golden rules if you too want to change your destiny by getting into freelancing sites:
1. Keep knocking on the door until it opens
Most of the freelancing sites work on an open bidding system. When you take a membership at these sites they give you a free bidding option. To enter into freelancing world you need to have a lot of patience at the beginning since you are not the only competent person there. There are many good designers out there vying for the same project. But patience always pays off. So keep on bidding and trying til the door opens for you.
2. Write intelligent messages to the buyer
The buyers are very intelligent. Don't just write "I can do it" in your bid. Rather you must write why you can do it and how differently you can do it from the next guy. Never try to show someone else's work as your own. If you are bidding for a Flash site project, for example, explain the process, how you will achieve it, and how you can give the client all he pays for and more.
3. Quick communication is the key
Communication, or lack thereof, can make or break your design career. Return the messages or emails from the clients as quickly as possible. Try to follow what the client is asking for. Answer every query in an intelligent way to show to the client that you mean business. I have grabbed some projects in 20 minutes just by talking quickly and intelligently. The client is always ready to pick up the best guy; you just have to prove that you are him.
Sidenote: Once you finish, read how 4 freelancers built recurring revenue models that changed their business. You'll love it.
4. Respect deadlines
When bidding you have to provide an approximate number of days you need to do the job. Generally clients are flexible, but I suggest respecting deadlines to show how efficient you are. If some part of the site takes more time, which it always does, try to explain that part to the client so they can see your point of view too. If for any reason you do not work on weekends or holidays, let the client know that so he doesn't wait for your messages.
5. Ask for advance payment after approval
Never ask for upfront payments–the client will simply run away. Remember, you are trying to break into the business. Try first to make some kind of mock up for the client and get his approval. Once he approves it, you have won half the battle. Then ask for safe escrows through freelancing sites. You can ask for half or full escrow by discussing it with the client. Then you can concentrate on the big picture and complete the project since you know money is in safe hands. Even after doing so many jobs I hardly ask for upfront payments and my clients always respect me for that.
Chase after the work and money will follow.
6. Respect your client and give something extra
In this business if you show forth an extra effort it will always be worth it. If a client has asked you to design a website, you should suggest hosting, registration, or administration as well. Your clients will appreciate small favors. If any small changes are needed later on, help the client with out any monetary expectation. These small steps have given me so much work since many clients return these small favors with more work.
7. Polish your skills
Never think you know it all. Try to learn new techniques and skills every day. I settled for Flash and Html/CSS at some point of my carrier. I used to refuse to the jobs involving WordPress, Joomla, Flex, Jquery and XML and lost some clients in the process. Then I spent some months learning about these technologies and my client base immediately picked up since they can now rely on me for getting different varieties of jobs done.
What else would you add?
My advice to new-comers is to just follow these tips, take a deep breath and jump into the big world of freelancing. I can assure you if I can carve a niche for myself and earn a good paycheck, so can you. What other tips would you offer to the design community on landing some great freelance jobs?

Boom and slump on the Clyde and Liffey
Charley, J.H. (2005) Boom and slump on the Clyde and Liffey. Building Material: Journal of the Architectural Association of Ireland, 14. pp. 8-11.
Full text not available in this repository. (Request a copy from the Strathclyde author)Abstract
It is still boom time and the crane operators and scaffolders scurry between historic square and water's edge laying the foundations for glitzy offices and chic apartments in the race to boost the value of real estate. The capitalisation of culture or more precisely of eating, drinking, and caffeine-injected art galleries is a vital component of this process as the city is reborn as a post-modern metropolis serving duck instead of mutton. It isn't difficult to crack the veneer of prosperity that camouflages such urban development. The Liffey still funnels milk bottles, bus tickets, teabags, and surgical debris towards the sea. And, as in all 'regenerated' cities, a quick detour from the prescribed tourist route returns you to the reality of urban poverty.

"Nature Boy" Lived in Big Tujunga Canyon
"There was a boy, a very strange enchanted boy…"
These were the opening lines of Nat King Cole's hit song, "Nature Boy." The song was a semi-autobiographical piece written by the famous Los Angeles pre-hippie icon Eden Ahbez, whose main home (campsite really) was in Big Tujunga Canyon.
Eden was born in the slums of New York in 1908 as George Alexander Aberle (Eden Ahbez was a name he adopted in the early '40s). He grew up in an orphanage, but was adopted as a teenager by a family in Kansas. In the 1930s he developed his musical talent in Kansas City and New York. He joined the thousands of jobless men who lived in vagabond style, crisscrossing the country by rail, thumb and foot. During this period he read up on Eastern philosophy and the nutritional benefits of natural foods.
In 1941 he landed in L.A. and got a job playing piano in a health food restaurant called Eutropheon on Laurel Canyon Boulevard. Eutropheon was one of the centers of the proto-hippie lifestyle of that era that promoted primitive living and raw foods. (L.A. had, since the 1880s, been a center of the health food movement. We had a health food store in Montrose in the '20s!) Eden was influenced by the owners of the restaurant, natural-lifestyle pioneers John and Vera Richter. Eden and others associated with the restaurant adopted Eastern philosophies, grew their hair and beards, wore robes, and camped outdoors, eating only raw foods (the famous Gypsy Boots was one of this group). They were dubbed "the California Nature Boys."
The years just after the war found Eden regularly camping with his new wife Anna in Big Tujunga Canyon. Old-timers place that site as being between the modern-day Little League field and the detention camp. In 1947, Eden penned "Nature Boy" and tried to get the sheet music to the moderately successful Nat King Cole, then playing in a Los Angeles theater. The long-haired oddball was ignored, but he left the music with Cole's assistant. Later, when Cole read the music, he was taken with its haunting melody, and tried the song out to live audiences with great success. Cole wanted to record the song, but needed to get the rights from Eden who had disappeared back into his temporary campsites around L.A. Legend says that Cole finally tracked him down camped under the Hollywood sign. The song was a No. 1 hit for Cole, and introduced him to a wider audience, cementing his fame.
As a result of Cole's hit, Eden became a celebrity, and his then-odd lifestyle became a focus of a fascinated America. The term "nature boy" became a part of our language and culture. Photos of him, his wife and son preparing raw foods or playing bongo drums in Big Tujunga Canyon were widely viewed. Characters based on "Nature Boy" popped up in movies, pro-wrestling, Bugs Bunny cartoons and comic books. As a result of his fame, other musicians and songwriters flocked to Eden. He churned out a string of minor hits for Doris Day, Frank Sinatra, Eartha Kitt and many others. His songwriting ranged from the easy-listening style of "Nature Boy" to jazz, rock 'n roll, and country western. He even collaborated (un-credited) with songwriter Stan Jones on the cowboy classic "Ghost Riders in the Sky."
All this time, he was camping outdoors in various sites ranging from Silver Lake and Whittier to Joshua Tree and Indio, but returning often to Big Tujunga. In the '50s and '60s, American culture caught up with Eden, first with the beatnik movement then with the hippie movement. Life's tragedies caught up with him as well when his wife died in 1965 of leukemia, followed by his son in 1971 in a drowning accident. Eden himself died in a car crash in 1995.
Eden Ahbez's physical life was filled with pain and tragedy, but his mind and spirit existed above it all, always promoting a message of peace and tranquility.
"The greatest thing you'll ever learn, Is just to love and be loved in return."

Beijing, CHINA – January 10th, 2010 – Cloudy yet wind-free conditions in the Quiksilver Nanshan Mellow Park created a moody backdrop as yesterday's 12 qualified riders stepped up to do battle on day two of the 8th Red Bull Nanshan Open, Asia's largest stop on the Swatch Ticket To Ride World Snowboard Tour.
As the morning's final session of this 4Star TTR event got underway, the judges would be forced to slice the field of 12 down to just four – a task easier said than done! By the time lunchtime rolled through, Juuso Laivisto (FIN), David Bertschinger Karg (SUI), Sergey Lapushkin (RUS), and Nick Hyne (NZ) had impressed when it counted and secured their place in the afternoon's Super Finals.
Showing some of the best flow throughout the weekend, Sergey Lapushkin was proud to improve on his 10th place at last year's event. "I was happy to stomp my first two runs, so decided to go for a ten (1080) on the third – not quite, but am so stoked on everything!" Sergey's highest scoring run consisted of a perfect BS900 mute, switch BS540 stalefish, backflip nose-grab off the up-cannon and was good enough for second place. Third place would go to David Bertschinger Karg, unfortunately not able to stomp the clean runs that had him placed first going into the finals. A ridiculously huge FS1080 stomped halfway down the landing left him struggling for speed on the second kicker, yet he managed to finish off his run in style with a smooth boardslide to 270-off the up-cannon and a 50-50 to back 180 off of the wallride.
None of these, however, could stop a certain dedicated Finn! Wowing both judges and crowd with a clean and technical run, Juuso Laivisto rose victorious with a switch BS900 mute followed by a FS720 melon, finished off with a BS to FS boardslide on the up-down, and a 50-50 to FS180 out of the downpipe. "I'm really happy! It's my first time in China and the resort reminds me of my home mountain, so it was kinda special to win here! This trip is so well organized and we're all having such a good time… now where's the beer!?"
Taking fourth place, Nick Hyne (NZ) was pleasantly surprised on his result considering his luck leading up to the competition – "I'm stoked, my boardbag only just arrived yesterday morning and I had to do the practice day on a borrowed board. The park here is great with some good variety, and the whole trip has just been super fun!" Honorable mention goes to Chinese rider Wang Lei. The highest placed local rider, Wang Lei represented strongly on his home turf securing a solid 9th place. "Everyone threw down some of their best tricks and it was great contest. I hope the riders enjoy the rest of their time in China!"
And with the competition side of the trip over, we're sure they will! The riders now get to enjoy a trek at the Great Wall, icebiking on Houhai lake, fake-handbag shopping for their girlfriends and perhaps, just maybe, one or two after parties. Zaijian!

Just wanted to let all of you know.........It's a really good bat ! |
July 27, 2011 #6 Men's 60 1175 posts | Just was suppose to be instead of Jusy. Also weekend instead of weeekend. |
July 27, 2011 Capt Kirk 509 posts | Kenny, what about a warranty, is there one? Does it have the pop of the Ultra II Red Max Load? Will you be playing in Austin on August 6th at Chris's tournament, we will be there. We always enjoy playing against you guys. |
July 27, 2011 #6 Men's 60 1175 posts | Capt Kirk, You get a 1 year written warranty.it really is a great bat ! |
July 27, 2011 #6 Men's 60 1175 posts | Capt Kirk, Sorry I clicked too fast. I don't know about the pop of the Ultra 2, but it has PLENTY of pop. Gary Bowles and Doak bought one too ! Yes we alsways play in Chris.s tournaments.Doak didn"t play Sunday, but Gary and I both used our new bats and both were surprised !!! |

July 27, 2011 #6 Men's 60 1175 posts | rfsoftball, No sir I don't believe you can...........can someone answer this please ? |
July 27, 2011 BruceinGa Men's 65 3109 posts | Yes, you can. Any bag, ASA, ISA, NSA and/or USSSA approved can be used. I know SPA doesn't allow fast pitch bats. |
July 27, 2011 mad dog Men's 65 4108 posts | bruce i would hope you could use any bag....DOH,LOL..........and when did they start having bags approved.....LOL..... |
July 27, 2011 BruceinGa Men's 65 3109 posts | I do need to proofread my posts!!! |

Aug. 15, 2011 Mario Men's 50 450 posts | Vinny LV do you still have the 29 0z.Melee for sale? Is it EL or balanced? |
Aug. 20, 2011 Omar Khayyam 1174 posts | Talked to a guy at the NCSSA tournament this weekend. His team loved the Reebok Melee and about half the guys were sharing two bats, one an end load and the other balanced. His praise was that "it swings like a Miken!" They thought it had as much pop as the Ultra II, maybe a bit more. This was a 60 or 65 AAA team with not a lot of sluggers. The end load had already broken on the second day (probably about 75-90 hits max), but the guy was enthusiastic about the performance, if not the durability. |
Aug. 20, 2011 mad dog Men's 65 4108 posts | omar the reebok has been a hit or miss for durability,mine has at least 200 swings on it and seems to be holding up fairly well.i got mine after the production snfu was found and corrected tho.still like my combats tho..... |

Not very welcoming
First impressions are important and our welcome was cool to say the least.
After ringing the bell for several minutes, we were greeted by the proprietor who told us in best Basil Fawlty style that we were late as check in was from 4:00 - 6:00. Not quite sure why this was such a big deal as we would have been quite happy with an envelope with a key in it, if he was too busy to be there in person and it wasn't as if it were the middle of the night (7:30 on a spring evening)
Room wasn't huge (and we paid an extra £10 to avoid the smallest ones) but the view was lovely. Not sure why a TV set was provided as there is no signal and it just got in the way, A decent radio with long wave would have been more useful instead of the pathetic offering which again provided no reception. A nice location but quite poor value for money really.

Hat Uh Mi Hed (Shuggie Otis) Vinyl 12"
↳ stunning extended rework of the psychedelic funk classic
Stilove4music still bringing that edit heat! The Chicago-based label has been quiet for a minute, but is back with a massive edit of Shuggie Otis. Here they enlist Swiss DJ/producer Ripperton who treats Shuggie's classic summertime groover "Hat Uh Mi Hed" to an incredible re-work that changes up the arrangement and re-tweaks the mix for huge effect on the dancefloor. The track clocks in at over 11 minutes so our sound sample really doesn't do it justice, but best believe that when the full vocals finally drop and the groove is in full swing (about 5 minutes in) everyone will be grooving on the floor. Already getting major play from big dogs like Gilles Peterson, Danny Krivit, and Tim Sweeney. Flipside features the deep and spacious "We Are Music." Black label copies in plain paper sleeve.

Handing out fliers
Costa Mesa Park Ranger M. Pallo greets and hands out a flier to Michael Brooks, who is homeless, in Costa Mesa's Lions Park. The flier, put together by the Churches Consortium, advertises a free bus ride to the Santa Ana armory for a warm meal and place to sleep.

For the past four years, the $375,000 (pounds 235,000) Samsung Open has been little more than an afterthought, stuck between the American hard-court season and the year-end European indoor events. This has meant that Tim Henman and Greg Rusedski have either shown ambivalence towards Bourne- mouth's slow, green, clay courts, or have forsaken them.
The Lawn Tennis Association's gamble in buying a second ATP Tour event to complement the Stella Artois Grass-Court Championships at London's Queen's Club in June, fulfilled the glaring need for a British tournament on clay. But the only available date, in September, made the event vulnerable.
Yesterday there was optimism that the date of the tournament may be changed to synchronise with the European clay-court season, which climaxes at the French Open at the end of May. This would be possible if the LTA bought a new tournament date, such as the Czech Open, scheduled for 26 April next year, but reportedly in financial difficulty.
"The LTA will meet with the sponsors and BBC two weeks after the Samsung Open and decide what course to take in the future," said John Feaver, the tournament director. "We are looking at possible options to switch to an earlier date."
Bournemouth gained prominence as a tennis venue when the West Hants Club hosted the British Hard Court Championships, played on red shale. In 1968 the event became part of tennis history when Britain's Mark Cox defeated America's Pancho Gonzales, becoming the first amateur to beat a professional in open competition.
By the early 1980s, the Bournemouth tournament was struggling and was eventually dropped from the calendar. Mounting criticism of the lack of clay courts on which to school young players in groundstroke skills on the game's slowest surface prompted the LTA to build more clay courts and revive the event in 1996.
The prospect of winning extra ranking points and prize money has attracted clay-court specialists, particularly from Spain (Albert Costa won in 1996, Felix Mantilla in '97 and '98).
Sweden's Thomas Enqvist, the top seed this week, beat Alex Lopez-Moron, of Spain, 6-4, 7-5, in the second round yesterday and will play Karim Alami, the Morrocan No 8 seed, in the quarter-finals today.

In World Championship Boxing Manager the player can develop the careers of aspiring heavyweight boxers. The option are selected through an icon-based system, representing the manager's office.Training the boxers involves deciding which areas they should work on, considering their strengths and weaknesses and any damage inflicted in previous fights, and those of their next opponent. There are 97 of these in the game, so reaching the top of the rankings will take about 15-20 fights. Choosing a beatable opponent who can get the fight as high up the Friday Night bill as possible, as well as negotiating the best financial deal and a mutually agreeable dare, are the main considerations.
Two different governing bodies are included in the game, each with subtly different rules. A fight in one set of rules won't be viewed quite as significantly by the other.
The matches are presented from the commentary box, with the two expert analysts exchanging textual descriptions of the key punches, and who is dong the best (a clue to how any judges' decision would go). Before and during the fights the player can instruct the boxer as to what tactics to adopt.

Main power should be on a relay. You can use a fuse for the mains but depending on the system you may need a pretty big fuse. Again i would go with the stereo install type 50-100 amp fuse. At 100 amp it could still badly burn wires but a dead short will pop it instantly. Also be sure to cover the wires with shrink wrap and a loom. And run the under the car inside the frame rail tied every 12 inches with zip ties or bolted down insulated clamp. Make sure it does not run thru any hole that is not covered by a groumet. |
The fuse would need to be pretty big one. Race cars use a kill switch located in the rear trunk panel so it can be access from outside the car. Also have it close to the battery. That way you can just turn the switch when you get out of the car. Also rules for most faster drag cars. Also you can just run the alt wire to the starter relay. Do you plan to use a ford style solenoid kit on the firewall to start the car. Allstar Performance Solenoid and Wiring Kits ALL76202 - SummitRacing.com hope this helps. |
Yes, use thicker wire as distance is longer.
I used 00 inclosed in a rubber garden hose inside frame. Grommet openings. I also used a 250 amp fuse back by gel battery. |
If that works for you then putting the relay next to the battery will work as well. Then the heavy guage wire does not need to be hot more thana few inches past the battery. But with high compression engine you may need to run a disconnect or a larger relay and mini starter. |
Ok. So this is what I think I'm going to do.
2 Gauge wire with a 250 AMP fuse to a cut off switch. Then from the switch I'll run a 2 gauge wire to the starter and a seperate wire as well from the switch to the alternator with a 100 AMP fuse. (I'm doing this because I've heard it's better to run a seperate wire and since I'm doing this, I figure I might as well do it the best way the first time.) But what size wire do I use to run to the alternator? It doesn't have to be any where near a 2 gauge for goodness sake, right?? Also whats the highest compression ratio I can have before I cant use my stock starter? Thanks guys! |
10 is stock and may work but 8 would be best for alt wire. If you have a lot of assesories you may want to use high quiality 8. You can buy a amp installation kit with fuses and wire pretty darn cheap might be the cheapest simple solution One wire is fine unless your going to use a solienoid kit and not run full voltage on the larger wire all the time. There is no difference electricity always takes the path of least resistence. |
instead of fuses u can buiy circut breakers from any real car audio place thse things come in 100/150/200/250/300/400 amp , the big fuses starting at 100 amp and up run about 22 bucks each and arent easy to find if u happen to pop a fuse and need a new one
the big circut breaker should run about 50-100 bucks and ull only ever need one most of them will accept 0 gauge cable directly and some even bigger if u buy car audio amp cables be sure to buy high quality cables good 8 gauge car audio cable will out perform cheap car audio 4 gauge |
I relocated my battery and installed the solenoid alongside it using MadElectrical´s kits.

MALC's link specs 1/0 wire to the starter, I use 00, not fused, in my blower car, trunk mounted battery, wrapped in hose running along the inside frame rail.

The Following User Says Thank You to 68NovaSS For This Useful Post: | ||
To minimize voltage drop over the distance, I suggest 1/0 welding cable. Run from positive to starter, and negative to a bolt on the bellhousing. As was suggested, support it along the way, and protect it anywhere it goes through a hole or by a hard edge. Use 8 gauge from the alternator to the starter. Run grounds from the bellhousing bolt to the chassis, and chassis to body. The welding cable is fine wire so it's nice and flexible. I crimp and solder lugs on the ends, and cover the joint with heavy duty shrink tube. A battery disconnect switch is a good idea, as are auxillary battery terminals under the back of the car, near the battery.

The new Destinie 2 microsimulation model: main characteristics and illustrative results
The Destinie model is a dynamic microsimulation model that has been developed and used at the French national statistical institute (INSEE) since the mid-1990s and whose main application is the analysis of pension policies. The paper presents the new version of the model that is progressively becoming operational. The main goals of this new version have been to improve the robustness and the flexibility of the instrument. This new model has two separate components: (a) a generator of demographic and employment biographies, whose results are stored in intermediate output files and (b) a library of subroutines allowing an easy programming of ad hoc pension projections based on data from these intermediary files. We explain the advantages of this new structure and we provide some preliminary results showing the impacts of the 1993 and 2003 reforms, or of the long-term impact, on pensions, of various post-crisis growth scenarios.

The Intellectual Side of Female Beauty
Female beauty has always been a fascinating phenomenon due to the mystical relation between the inner and physical beauty. The Beautiful Women Pedia is dedicated to exploring this phenomenon in every way possible.
Let's begin with the scientific approach to the standards of beauty. According to science and nature any woman whether she looks average, is overweight, or is short in stature can be scientifically defined as beautiful if she possess the geometrical balance. To find out more about this interesting topic go to scientific standards of female beauty.
However, even though geometric beauty can be defined, beauty is very subjective because of the hundreds of cultures the human race possesses. Therefore society will actually depict what is said to be attractive; and this has been true since man stood upright. After reading History of Female Beauty you will discover the rapid pace of how beauty is constantly redefining itself.
There is no doubt that female beauty has had and still has a big influence on our society. From art to everyday life attractive women are everywhere around us. They are on television, billboards, in the movies, magazines, and numerous ads that advertise everything but the air we breathe.
Marketers are very skilled in finding some-kind of a connection between the product they are selling and a beautiful woman; so they can justify using a beautiful lady in their ads. Why is the advertising industry so interested in using the images of attractive women in their ads and commercials?
Needless to say a beautiful woman phenomenon is truly fascinating which is why science is very interested in defining and exploring it.
If you are interested in finding out why some attractive women are perceived as beautiful; what a beautiful woman effect is; is the female beauty a cultural construction or a "natural order"... make sure you visit this page: Psychology of Female Beauty.
For more interesting articles on female beauty go to Exploring the Depths Of Female Beauty.
Always remember that true beauty comes from within.

The EmitterWelcome to the Emitter range, the lightest and fasted machines in the Eastway garage. But dont think that means its a harsh demanding race bike, the Emitter range balances a stiff power delivery with a smooth compliant ride. Its designed for enthusiast riders looking to improve sportive times and surprise their weekend riding buddies, but still fully capable of stepping up to the next race category. Shimano Tiagra DrivetrainWith an additional gear and a substantial weight saving over its lower end relations, the Tiagra 10 speed groupset offers great mid-range performance. The Tiagra shifters have the same dual control setup as the top end groupsets and also feature an optical window to show which gear you have selected. Shifting is precise and consistent, right the way through the 10 speed cassette. With its two piece hollow axle design, the Tiagra Hollowtech II chainset is both stiffer and lighter than a square taper chainset. Mounting the large diameter bearings outboard of the bottom bracket shell also provides increased stiffness and bearing life over standard cartridge units. With 50/34 compact gearing, you can tackle even the steepest climbs with confidence. Dual pivot brake calipers provide excellent braking power, with angle adjustable pads to ensure perfect pad alignment. A quick release lever aids installation and removal of wheels, for transportation or puncture repairs. Shimano RS11 WheelsetApart from the frame and forks the wheelset is one of the most important parts to get right. Eastway have managed to do this with the Shimano RS11 Wheelset. These are light weight double-walled rims laced up to Shimano's custom designed hubs. To finish the wheels of and to give you the ultimate rolling performance they have fitted Continental Ultrasport tyres in 700x25C to offer that little more grip and reassurance around corners. Ritchey/Fizik Finishing KitFinishing the Emitter off is a set of bars, stem and seatpost from Ritchey in black. Light weight, strong and reliable are the best way to describe this kit. Topping it off Eastway have supplied a custom colourway Fizik Aliante saddle offering maximum comfort. Built, Tuned and TestedRest assured that each bike is fully built, tested and tuned by Wiggle's team of qualified bike mechanics to ensure your bike arrives in perfect condition.

LIGHTNING at SABRES
- Second of four meetings between the Sabres and Lightning this season.
- The Lightning beat the Sabres in Tampa Bay, 3-0, on Saturday.
- These two teams met four times last year; Buffalo went 2-2-0; 1-1-0 at home.
- The Sabres are 6-4-0 in their last 10 games vs. the Lightning; 7-3-0 at home.
- This is the 72nd game all-time between Buffalo and Tampa Bay; Buffalo leads the series with a 46-20-5 record. They are 22-11-2 at home against the Lightning.
- The next time these teams will face each other is Feb. 11 in Buffalo, before returning to Tampa Bay on March 19 to finish out the regular season series.
The Sabres begin a season-high five-game home stretch tonight… Ryan Miller is 10 wins from overtaking Dominik Hasek's franchise record of 234… The Sabres are 44-22-6 in October since the lockout… Buffalo has killed 20 of 22 penalties (91%) in 2011-12… With tonight's game, Andrej Sekera passes Grant Ledyard for 25th-most games by a Sabres defenseman (241)… Jason Pominville has 19 points (6+13) in his last 16 regular season games, dating back to 3/25/11 vs. FLA… Buffalo is 21-6-4 since Terry Pegula purchased the team… Tonight is Brad Boyes' 500th consecutive game.
HOW THEY STACK UP (Sabres' league rankings before 10/24 games)
- Vanek: 3 PPG (T-2nd), 30 S (3rd), 2 GWG (T-3rd), 6 G (T-3rd), 10 P (T-4th)
- Pominville: 7 A (T-4th), 9 P (T-10th)
- Sekera: plus-6 (T-3rd)
- Miller: 4 W (T-3rd), .950 SV% (4th), 1.61 GAA (6th)
- Adam: 6 P (T-2nd, rookies), 3 A (T-2nd, rookies), 3 G (3rd, rookies)
- Gragnani: 3 A (T-2nd, rookies)
Miller |
Ryan Miller is 17-5-0 all-time against TBL with a 2.71 GAA… Jason Pominville leads all Sabres with 31 career points against TBL (13+18) …Thomas Vanek leads the team with 22 goals in only 25 games, one shy of his career-best 23 against Boston (40 GP).
Despite a shutout performance by Lightning goaltender Mathieu Garon the last time these two teams met on Saturday, the Sabres have typically fared well against Tampa Bay's current goaltenders. Garon is 2-7-0 in his career against the Sabres with a 3.14 GAA and a .889 SV%. Dwayne Roloson has struggled even more against his former team, going 0-7-2 with a 4.05 GAA and a .844 SV%, his worst stats against any NHL team.
Thomas Vanek's 210 career goals are one shy of Alexander Mogilny's total for 10th-most all-time by a Sabre. His 36 game-winners are fifth-most in Sabres history, two behind Dave Andreychuk for fourth-most by a Sabre all-time. Buffalo Sabres: Media Notes
Vanek |
Vanek has scored 31 points (15+16) in his last 24 regular season games, dating back to Mar. 5. In those 23 games, he has not gone more than one game without recording a point. Entering Sunday night, Vanek trailed only Corey Perry and Jarome Iginla in goals during that stretch, and tied Martin St. Louis for fourth in points behind Daniel Sedin, Jason Spezza and Perry.
The Sabres are back home after wrapping up a road trip that saw them pick up six of a possible eight points (3-1-0). Tonight's game will kick off a five-game home stretch ending with a matchup with Calgary on Nov. 4. The home stand will be the first of two five-game tints at home, the longest such stretches for the team this season. The next one will take place between Dec. 7 vs. PHI and Dec. 16 vs. TOR.
Since the lockout, October has been Buffalo's second-best month (trailing only April). The Sabres have a 44-22-6 (.653) record in 72 October games during that period. The Sabres play 10 games in October (5 home, 5 away) this season. They have just one break of three days or more during the month (10/9-10/13) and two sets of back-to-back games. They play seven games against Eastern Conference opponents and three against teams from the West.
Boyes |
Boyes enters tonight's game as the team's leader in consecutive games played (499). Boyes has the NHL's third-longest active ironman streak, and has never missed a game due to injury in his NHL career. He trails only Calgary's Jay Bouwmeester and Vancouver's Henrik Sedin.
Since Lindy Ruff was named Buffalo's head coach on July 21, 1997, there have been 163 coaching changes in the NHL. Ruff is the third-longest tenured coach in the four major professional sports leagues. Tony LaRussa (St. Louis Cardinals) and Gregg Popovich (San Antonio Spurs) both began coaching their teams in 1996.
Lindy Ruff has 531 wins as head coach of the Sabres, second-most by a head coach with a single franchise, trailing only Al Arbour (740). Ruff has more wins than any other coach with his first NHL team.

About Lac du Poisson Blanc:
A near-vertical wall of granite rising straight of a scenic laurentian lake (yes, boat-belays). Paroi Elephant is thirty meters high and about 200 wide. Altogether about 20 climbs including a group on a small cliff in the forest above the main face. To date, two fatalities have resulted from people wanting to jump in the water from the top of this cliff. |
Nearest town or city: | Denholm |
Directions: | For all of you wondering all this time where this mysterious place was....... t's on Lac du Poisson Blanc just roughly an hours drive north of Gatineau. From Gatineau you take the 307 North to Ch. Voyageur. Once you hit Ch. Poisson Blanc stay on it till you hit the water and then go the spot on the map below. There are other access roads to the lake that seem to be closer.... but really you gotta have a canoe to get there. Camping is free... but to park near the entrance I'm talking about is $6 a night. You can rent canoe's there as well. |

Oak calls again for the yearly poetry blogathon in honor of Brigid, started a while back by Reya.
And I am delighted and amused, as a priestess of Brigid, that today is also the day I signed the book over at the Sunnyhill Unitarian Universalist church. (Brigid of course is also delighted and amused.)
So my poem offering for Brigid today -- with many thanks for the interesting paths she leads me on -- is by the Unitarian poet e.e. cummings:
i thank You God for most this amazing
day: for the leaping greenly spirits of trees
and a blue true dream of sky;
and for everything
which is natural which is infinite which is yes
(i who have died am alive again today,
and this is the sun's birthday;
this is the birthday of life and love and wings:
and of the gay
great happening illimitably earth)
how should tasting touching hearing seeing
breathing any–lifted from the no
of all nothing–human merely being
doubt unimaginable You?
(now the ears of my ears awake and
now the eyes of my eyes are opened)

The main cause of OS cancer is backwards compatibility, the need to stay compatible with existing application software. OS designers are caught between yesterday and tomorrow. Customers want the benefit of the future, new features, hardware and software, but without having to jettison their investment in the past, in their applications.
OS architects dream of a pure rebirth, a pristine architecture born of their hard won knowledge without having to accommodate the sins of their fathers. But, in the morning — and in the market — the dream vanishes and backwards compatibility wins.

Pound-for-pound king Floyd Mayweather Jr. has never boxed outside of the United States as a professional and has not fought outside of Las Vegas since a 2005 fight against Sharmba Mitchell, which took place in Portland, Ore. That's eight consecutive fights in Sin City.
Yet Mayweather, who defends his welterweight title against interim titlist Robert Guerrero on Saturday night (Showtime PPV, 9 ET) at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, has often mentioned the possibility of going on the road, specifically to the United Kingdom, at some point before his career is over.
Leonard Ellerbe, Mayweather's adviser, reiterated that prospect, saying that Mayweather hopes to fight there at some point in the next 18 months.
"Floyd cannot wait until we can come over there and give the U.K. fans a big, big fight," Ellerbe said. "Floyd has a tremendous fan base in the U.K. and we're looking at working on something now where he's going to come over there. Ever since the Ricky Hatton fight back in 2007, U.K. fans have been very loyal to Floyd and he definitely acknowledges that and he wants to bring a big, big event to the U.K.
"There's definitely a very strong possibility that Floyd will fight in the U.K. We'll see how this thing plays out. His focus is Saturday night and then we'll go from there. But we're definitely going to bring a big, big event to the U.K."
I will, of course, believe it when I see it. The "Money" man loves Las Vegas, which is where he also lives and trains. I'd say there's at least a remote chance of it happening.
Fighting overseas is complicated because of the need to time the main event to United States primetime for pay-per-view purposes, but you never know.
If Mayweather did take his game to the U.K., it would not surprise me at all if he faced England's Amir Khan, a former unified junior welterweight titlist. Khan tested the welterweight waters on Saturday night, struggling to a 12-round decision win against Julio Diaz in a fight with a contract weight of 143 pounds. But if Mayweather did pick him to fight, it would probably be an easy deal to make because Khan is with Golden Boy Promotions, the company that will be promoting Mayweather's seventh consecutive fight on Saturday night.

Browser War: Firefox 3.6a1, Opera 10.0, IE8, Safari 4, Chrome 4 Benchmarked Part III
Jason Mick
September 10, 2009 8:43 AM

The conclusion of our three part series looking to expose each next gen browser's greatest strengths and weaknesses
In our exploration of next generation browsers we
first examined
the user interface, installation details, time to install, and application launch times. We next turned our attention to
CPU and memory usages
, as well as comparing and contrasting the security of the various browser offerings. Topics we haven't looked at yet include rendering comparisons, synthetic benchmarks, plug-ins, and standards support, as well as our conclusions. We planned just one more piece, but that's a lot of ground to cover, so we've broken it up into two more pieces.
In this first piece, we'll look at synthetic benchmarks and plug-in support. In the next (and final) segment, we'll examine rendering performance, standards support (including performance in the Acid3 benchmark), and our conclusions on the state of the browser war and who we believe the current winner(s) is/are.
6. Synthetic Benchmarks
The first synthetic benchmark we ran was
Celtic Kane's Javascript test
. The homepage for the test showed Safari 4 to be the leading web browser. Our own testing indicated that it has been passed by Google's Chrome. Safari came in second, Opera in third, Firefox in fourth, and Internet Explorer came in at a distant fifth.
The next synthetic benchmark run was the popular
Sunspider Javascript test
. This test again showed Chrome 4 beating Safari 4. This time, though, Firefox was a runner up. Opera performed unexpectedly poorly in this test, though Opera 10 managed a bit better performance. And Internet Explorer 8 performed the worst of all, taking nearly eight times as long as Chrome 4 to complete this test. Combined with Celtic Kane, these tests indicate the Safari's Squirrelfish engine, Chrome's V8 to be the clear JS leaders and the JS performance of Trident, IE 8's engine, to be dismal.
Our next synthetic benchmark was Peacekeeper, a Futuremark test suite which we
recently profiled
. Our testing with the suite indicated Chrome to be in the lead, followed closely by Safari and then Firefox. Opera 10 managed middling results. Meanwhile, Internet Explorer was the slowest, managing a mere sixth of the score of Chrome. The suite looks at a number of aspects, including JS performance, CSS performance, rendering, and more, so it is a good general indicator of speed.
The last synthetic benchmark we used was How-To-Create UK's CSS test. The test loads approximately 2,500 DIVs and times how fast the load takes. Unfortunately, WebKit browsers (Safari and Chrome) aren't supported due to how they measure time, so we could only get results for Firefox, IE 8, and Opera. For these browsers, Opera 10 barely led Firefox 3.6a1, while Internet Explorer 8 yet again lagged in performance.
Conclusions to be drawn from the synthtetic tests -- Chrome is the fastest browser with Safari close behind. Opera and Firefox are just slightly behind. And Internet Explorer 8 is the slowest browser. Even on content heavy sites, though, this performance difference is not as great as these tests might seem to indicate. In fact, it may only account for a couple of extra seconds of load time. Still, it could become an annoyance on content-heavy pages like Facebook.
7. Plug-ins
A common misconception is that Firefox is the only browser that has plug-ins, add-ons, extensions, or otherwise named optional components. Plug-ins/add-ons/extensions are, in fact, a vital part of modern browsers. There are a diverse variety of formats include ActiveX, NPAPI, Java, Google Gears, RSS, and Atom.
Mozilla Firefox does arguably lead in this field, having the most enthusiastic developer community for plug-ins, and the most useful plug-ins. Firefox 3.6a1 does not provide is support for classic Java plugins and ActiveX plug-ins.
Looking at the other browsers, Opera (which does not support Gears, ActiveX), Chrome (also no ActiveX), and Safari (no ActiveX, Gears partial only) all offer decent plug-in support, but their developer communities are still in a fledgling state. Internet Explorer 8, on the other hand, offers a lot of plug-ins -- in fact, plug-ins are essential to improving the browser's standards support. Unfortunately IE 8 does not support the NPAPI extension language commonly used for Mozilla. IE 8 plug-ins are generally more for utility rather than aesthetics.
Plug-ins are most accessible to Firefox users, as Firefox's plug-in system is friendly enough for even beginning users. Nonetheless, if other factors make you pick another browser, it's a good idea to check out what kind of plug-ins are available for it, as there will surely be some useful ones.
Note: All benchmarks were performed in 32-bit Vista on a Sony VAIO laptop with 3 GB of RAM, a T8100 Intel Processor (2.1 GHz), and a NVIDIA 8400 GT mobile graphics chip. The number of processes was kept consistent and at a minimum to reflect stock performance.
"So, I think the same thing of the music industry. They can't say that they're losing money, you know what I'm saying. They just probably don't have the same surplus that they had." -- Wu-Tang Clan founder RZA

Seesaw is a musical with a book by Michael Bennett, music by Cy Coleman, and lyrics by Dorothy Fields.
Based on the William Gibson play Two for the Seesaw, the plot focuses on a brief affair between Jerry Ryan, a young lawyer from Nebraska, and Gittel Mosca, a kooky, streetwise dancer from the Bronx. The musical numbers evoke colorful aspects of New York City life but have relatively little to do with the story. The most notable feature of the score's original orchestrations by Larry Fallon was their wide use of brass instruments.
Production history[edit]
The production faced seemingly insurmountable problems during its pre-Broadway tryout period, and when it reached Detroit, producers Joseph Kipness and Lawrence Kasha brought in Bennett for advice. He recommended they abandon the book by Michael Stewart and fire director Edwin Sherin and leading lady Lainie Kazan, who he felt was too hefty to portray a dancer convincingly.[1][2] Upon agreeing to helm the show, Bennett recast most of the ensemble, convinced Robin Wagner to replace his original realistic design with a sleek, stylized set, had Coleman and Fields rework their score, and brought in Neil Simon[3] to help him rewrite the book, although final credit went solely to Bennett.
The musical opened on Broadway at the Uris Theatre on March 18, 1973 and transferred to the Mark Hellinger on August 1, 1973. between the two venues, it ran a total of 296 performances and 25 previews. The director and choreographer was Bennett, with Grover Dale as Co - Choreographer and associate choreographers Bob Avian and Tommy Tune. Scenic Design was by Robin Wagner, costume design was by Ann Roth and lighting design and projections were by Jules Fisher. The cast included Ken Howard as Jerry Ryan, Michele Lee as Gittel Mosca, Tommy Tune, Giancarlo Esposito, Thommie Walsh, Amanda McBroom and Baayork Lee.[4]
Reviews were universally good, but there was no money for newspaper ads to quote them or television spots to promote the show. As a publicity stunt, New York City Mayor John V. Lindsay was persuaded to appear on stage[2] during a production number set in Times Square, and the ensuing media coverage resulted in a boost at the box office. But the move from the Uris Theatre to the Mark Hellinger Theatre was costly, and although a post-Broadway run in Philadelphia and Boston was a financial success, Seesaw failed to earn back its sizable investment.
Lucie Arnaz, John Gavin, and Tommy Tune starred in the very well received national tour of the musical in 1974. (Gavin played the role for seven months on Broadway.)[5]
The Equity Library Theater, New York City, presented the musical in 1981. This production featured Karen Ziemba, Bill Tatum, Richard Ruth, Thom Warren and Diana Schlossberg . Used in this production as the Act 1 closer was "The Party's On Me', a song used in the National Tour.The New York Times reviewer noted that this "was less a musical than a play, less a play than a musical, and not enough of either. The saving grace, to the extent that there was any, was the choreography by Mr. Bennett (who also served as director and partial librettist) and the high point of the production was Tommy Tune's long-legged, high-kicking dance up a set of stairs on a stage filled with balloons. Under the circumstances, this is not a musical that lends itself very well to revival, because its original merits depended so much on the individuals involved in the Broadway presentation." [3]
