The 'sky is the limit' for SHRM, says incoming Board Chair Libby Sartain.
After a remarkable 10-year run as SHRM's president and CEO, Michael R. Losey, SPHR, retired on Dec. 31. He is succeeded by Helen Drinan, SPHR, former executive vice president of HR for BankBoston.
Sartain says one reason she decided to seek the office of board chair was to help the Society during this transition period.
Actually, Drinan already has gotten a helping hand from Sartain, who served on SHRM's executive search committee and played an instrumental role in hiring the new CEO. Sartain's backing doubtless had an effect on the rest of the committee: With more than 12 years experience on the senior leadership team at Southwest Airlines, she knows what it takes for an HR professional to perform and contribute at the highest levels of corporate management.
The selection of Drinan clearly has Sartain looking at the future with confidence. "Under Mike's leadership we faced and overcame many struggles, and I am thrilled that we are now poised to reach yet another level of achievement with Helen Drinan at the helm. I feel so lucky to be part of the overall SHRM leadership team at such an exciting time for our profession and for our Society."
An HR Epiphany
Sartain decided to pursue a career in HR at the young age of 19, after receiving a bit of chance inspiration from a fellow classmate at Southern Methodist University (SMU) in Dallas. The classmate started talking about an organizational behavior class offered through the business school. When Sartain showed an interest in the subject, he lent her his textbook.
"It was the first time in my life that I literally sat down and read a textbook in one afternoon from cover to cover. I just became absorbed in it," she recalls.
The book was an epiphany for Sartain, prompting her to change majors from sociology to business administration (with an emphasis on organizational behavior), and sparking a lifelong interest in human resource management. That, in turn, led her to join the SMU chapter of SHRM, then known as the American Society for Personnel Administration (ASPA). She later became a chapter officer.
After graduating from SMU, Sartain attended the University of North Texas. While earning a master's of business administration in personnel and industrial relations she took time out to help revive the university's student chapter.
Her efforts resulted in a very special and unusual member benefit. One day she recruited a young man named David to join the student ASPA chapter. Later on, the two were joined in matrimony. They have been married for 23 years.
Sartain's participation in the student chapters makes her unique among SHRM's top volunteer leaders. In the 53-year history of the Society, she is the first volunteer leader to join as a student member and eventually be elected chair of the Society's board of directors.
"It seems that SHRM always has been a part of my life, and I'm really grateful for that," Sartain says. "My involvement with the Society has been one of the most positive influences in my life. Working with SHRM and its leadership has given me the confidence and educational opportunities that have made a tremendous difference in my professional career." (See "A Professional Advantage," on page 55.)
Southwest Hires a Winner
Sartain began working for Southwest Airlines in 1988 as director of compensation and benefits. At the time, the company was a medium-sized regional airline with approximately 6,500 employees. Today, it has more than 30,000 employees.
"That's been a real challenge—to work in HR in a company that has doubled in size every three to five years. The growth really has been phenomenal," Sartain says.
As Southwest continued to expand, Sartain's expertise in compensation and benefits served her well. In 1995, she was promoted to the top HR job at the airline—vice president of people.
She has excelled in the job and has helped make Southwest a national employer of choice. In 1998, Fortune magazine placed Southwest at the very top of its inaugural list of the 100 best places to work in the United States. In 1999 and 2000, Southwest slipped from the No. 1 spot, but it remains in the top five.
"We said 'no' to a lot of the questions," says Sartain.
When employees were asked if they planned to be working at Southwest in five years, nearly 100 percent said "yes." This response was off the charts when compared to the other employers interviewed by Fortune, says Sartain.
As Southwest's top HR executive, many people believe Sartain should receive a good deal of the credit for making the airline a top-notch employer of choice. However, Sartain blushes at the suggestion. She says Herb Kelleher, Southwest's CEO and president, and Colleen Barrett, executive vice president of customers, have had a much bigger influence on the company and her career.
"Herb is the most brilliant person that I've met. He truly is a visionary," Sartain says. "What is so unique about him is that his brilliance is coupled with an unbelievable amount of compassion. He really loves people and feels a huge personal responsibility to make sure that the people at Southwest have employment security."
Barrett is Sartain's boss and, according to the airline's media affairs office, is the No. 2 officer at Southwest and currently the highest-ranking woman working in the airline industry. Sartain says Barrett is the best mentor she has had in her 24-year HR career.
"I call Colleen the culture queen," says Sartain. "She is truly the person who is responsible for the internal workings of Southwest from a cultural standpoint and how our workforce treats our customers."
Barrett returns the favor and is quick to sing Sartain's praises. "Libby is the consummate human resources professional. She is articulate on the issues that affect our employees," Barrett says. "And she has been instrumental in several policy changes that will help take our workforce into the next decade and keep Southwest on the forefront of preferred employers."
The results these two dynamic women have achieved—with the help of the dedicated staff members at Southwest Airlines—are nothing short of extraordinary. Their record speaks for itself. And the bottom line is that they have a lot of fun at work, and they work hard to keep Southwest's employees and customers happy.
"I'm lucky to work where I do, because I like to have fun and laugh a lot, and you get that at Southwest Airlines. In fact, Herb and Colleen visit every new-hire pilot and new-hire flight attendant class, and they talk about how they want employees to use their unique sense of humor," Sartain says. "And we really encourage that throughout the company. About 10 years ago, Colleen created the Corporate Culture Committee, and I have served on that committee for the past five years. Our job is to do whatever we can to keep the corporate culture of Southwest vibrant and fun."
The Fun Starts Here
As a volunteer leader within SHRM, Sartain also has excelled. In fact, her professional career and her career as volunteer leader have closely mirrored each other. She says her involvement with SHRM has helped to develop and hone her leadership skills.
"Libby probably is the most supportive boss I have ever worked for as a volunteer for SHRM," says Larry Burk, SPHR, CCP, compensation manager for the Boy Scouts of America in Irving, Texas. "She is absolutely a delight to work for and with, particularly if you get her to laugh, and that's not very hard to do."
Burk and Sartain moved up through the SHRM volunteer leadership ranks together. Burk succeeded Sartain as president of the Dallas HR Management Association, and both later served together on the SHRM Board of Directors. Burk says with a laugh that he has many fun memories and some good stories about working with Sartain.
"There are just too many good stories to tell, so I'll just say that as long as I have known Libby, her love and dedication to the HR profession and SHRM are exceeded only by her commitment to her family and her sense of fun and good humor," Burk says.
Sartain will be the fourth SHRM board chair who also served as president of the Dallas chapter.
"Imagine following in the footsteps of Drew Young, John Quigley and Neal Bondy. These exceptional volunteer leaders paved the way for me in Dallas and now at SHRM," says Sartain.
Sartain credits Bondy, 1997 SHRM Board chair, as being a great mentor in her career as an SHRM volunteer. She says Bondy encouraged her to join the SHRM Compensation and Benefits Committee, which began her involvement with SHRM on a national level.
Sartain's continuing success as an HR professional and as a volunteer leader in the Society have garnered her recognition as an outstanding HR professional. In 1998, she was inducted as a fellow to the National Academy of Human Resources, one of the top honors in the profession.
The Sky's the Limit
Each SHRM board chair selects a theme for his or her tenure in office. Sartain's theme is "The Sky's the Limit," which plays off her role at Southwest Airlines. She believes the theme is particularly appropriate this year as the Society positions itself to reach new heights of excellence.
"SHRM has grown and grown, and the Society has become the recognized leader in the HR profession," Sartain says. "But we have to keep on getting better and moving ahead and avoid becoming complacent. There are too many other for-profit and not-for-profit organizations that would love to be the voice of our profession, so we have to stay on our toes."

Discovered my passion for wine during my honeymoon in Italy - dedicated myself to Italian wines upon my return. I then moved to San Francisco, where monthly Napa and Sonoma trips became a regular occurrence.
Finally I moved back to Toronto, and now will try anything. Too many great wines out there to limit myself to a country/region or grape.

Review: Peter Asher Coffee and Tea Bai Mu Dan Honey
Honey Tea, Peter Asher Coffee & Tea, White Tea Add commentsKatie's Teaview Snapshot
"It's dense and muddled with a sharp, dry aftertaste."
After 3 minutes at 185°, at least the scent holds up to my ideal expectations. It's light but sweet and slightly floral with a realistic honey note. The base tea is disappointing and a strangely heavy pairing for the added flavouring. It's woody with a smoky acidity and a mild bitterness. Pairing this with the subtle honey sweetness is just strange.
Bai mu dan should be light, sweet, maybe floral. The leaves look right, but they taste more like a cheap roasted oolong. It's dense and muddled with a sharp, dry aftertaste. So the idea is there, and the honey flavour is nice, but I don't like the choice of base tea. I'll probably be giving away the rest of my sample.

Device: Motorola Atrix 4G Okay I don't like Gingerbread mainly because the swype keeps freaking out and I have to clear the application data before it will recognize normal words again. Not sure what's up with that. I did upgrade over the air through the ATT notification that I could. I had previously been using the out of the box Froyo which I rooted with aRoot and left it at that. I've only had the phone two weeks and wanted root access to delete/modify the tether APN so I haven't touched anything else prior to the Gingerbread push coming out. I upgraded to GB without unrooting or changing anything. Swype acted weird so I cleared the internal SD and then reset to factory GB using the hard reset function. Swype appeared to work, then randomly freaked out again while in the middle of using it. I'd like to downgrade back to Froyo. I've tried to skim the internet and forums for information on this. Most answers are full of lingo I don't understand and in fear of bricking my phone and having to be without one while my service coverage replaces it...I figured I'd ask for a very simple answer. Can Gingerbread be downgraded back to Froyo if the installation was done via the automatic upgrade function that ATT sent me. I literally got the notification and upgraded right from there over wifi. I read a lot of people are having problems using SBF. Hard brick without pudding and semi brick with pudding down to something before 1.83. I don't know much about SBF, I don't know what pudding is, and I don't know what version they're referring to lol. I'm not doing anything to my phone until I can get more information but I would like to reset it back to what it was when I pulled it out of the box. Thanks!
Not too sure with the Atrix but I'm sure you can probably SBF it back to stock. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=991072 As always, READ ALL DIRECTIONS FIRST, and do this at your own risk.

Just wondering if there was an easy way to send messages that normally show up in the messages tab under the results pane to a text file. I have a T-SQL script written that uses print statements. I would like to run the script as a step in a maintenance plan and have the print statements show up in the log file. Is there an easy way to do this? Thanks, Jeff
If you are scheduling that as a job you can append or export the actions to a log file under SQLAgent --> Job.

Thanks Satya, I'm actually already doing that but for some reason the print statements are not showing up in the file. If I run them interactively through a query window they show up fine. It's only when I run them through the SQL Agent that the messages no longer show up. The log file is being created but no details. I'm starting to think I just may rebuild the job through the wizard and then modify the sql and see if they start logging. I no that shouldn't make a difference but I can't see any reason why those print statements are not getting logged in the log file. Following is all the log file produces: Microsoft(R) Server Maintenance Utility (Unicode) Version 9.0.2047 Report was generated on... Maintenance Plan: ... Duration: 00:00:00 Status: Succeeded.

He embezzled $825,000, but gets no prison time
But another who stole $557,000 gets 33 months
Don Bauder 5:30 p.m., March 27
I arrived at 5:25pm and it was still daylight. After long lines through passport control, made it to the currency exchange, and that took a while. Don't know if my guy was new, or there's some sort of alert on my passport, but he kept entering stuff, finally giving me my money. Counted it out so fast I thought he gypped me. But recounted and it was OK, smile. Little dingy. Still not fully over the jet lag and normal sleeping patterns despite 2 nights in London and last night. Looked for my name on a card after grabbing my used suitcase purchased on the streets of london. my rolling eddie bauer was too big for this part of the trip, and the other bags i brought just a bit too small. 40 pounds- probably overpaid but it was day one of holidays and i needed the bag, and didn't want to go all over the city to find it. Hotel in London in perfect place. Only about 2 blocks from Paddington station, easy access. My first evening went to a greek restaurant nearby. Mousakka drew me in. Food very ordinary. Also ordered taramasalada- haven't had it in years. it was really fishy, didn't eat it all. Back to my tiny room at the Nayland Hotel/Guesthouse. Clean but tiny. can touch both walls. But back to Marrakech. My driver takes me to the riad, it's dark now, recognizing some places but it's dark and he drives fast. Chaotic driving in Marrakech, a million motorbikes, people darting across the road. On one of the horse drawn carriages rented by tourists a horse had gone down. Sick, old? Hard to tell, his head was at a wierd angle and my driver said "shit". It was awful, i'm sure it ruined the tourists day if not their holiday. Eek. We double park the car and my driver walks my suitcase up the street, looking at numbers. Finally we see it, there is a sign on the street, that's good. I tried to look it up before I came but maps of marrakech are not very detailed, especially around the medina, so i was looking for landmarks. Koutoubia Mosque lights up the sky in front of the riad, looking up the street. Some sort of school of technology across the street, and a dark building with scary looking guards across the street. I call Jamila,she repeats where i am to meet her, take a cab to cafe melizia. I drop the bags, get my presents for her, and have the manager of the riad help me get a cab. i try to negotiate, stupidly since I'm barely conscious and still not focusing.
I get there, give the taxi driver and extra 10 dirham, he passed up many prospective passengers on the way, taxi sharing common here. I watch the traffic on the street and on the sidewalks, people everywhere, motorbikes, cars whizzing by. Honk honk, hand out the window smiling face Shaaaaron! It's Jamila - I cross over we hug, and she drives to her mothers home, where we are having dinner. She is very busy with work, a German foundation building a school in remote village, and opening offices for conferences in the city, currently undergoing renovations. The men here, they don't like woman telling them what to do, she says. I have to be there all the time or they do nothing. I say, it is the same in the states :)
Enough for now, time to go explore the city by day, and get my bearings.

Strong start important for Tribe in 2006
Strong start important for Tribe in 2006
It's about experience.
The Indians did the oh-so-fun rebuilding phase. They did the core player identification. They did the learning that comes with the ups and downs of losing 94 games in 2003 and winning 93 games in 2005.
Look at the Indians on paper, and they don't look any better than they were a year ago.
Look at them from the perspective of experience, as manager Eric Wedge does, and you might come away with a different prediction about their chances of contending for the AL Central title this season.
"They've got the history out of the way," Wedge said of his players. "When you don't know what's coming around the corner, you have to handle it in real time. When you do know what's coming around the corner, you're that much more prepared for it and you know what to do."
So much of the Indians preparation this year has revolved around their recent history of sluggish Aprils.
It's about a strong start.
One need look no further than the club's 9-14 record in April last season and the 17-7 record put up by the eventual champion White Sox to determine where the Tribe's season went wrong.
Yes, the Indians made their resilient and resurgent run from 15 games back of Chicago on April 1 to 1
1/2 games back on Sept. 24. But that run only served to drain an Indians team that faltered in the season's final week.
For the Indians, a better April, which, for the record, included four one-run losses to the White Sox, could have changed the late-season playoff picture dramatically last year.
"Those games in April," ace left-hander C.C. Sabathia said, "came back to bite us in the
[rear end]."
Once bitten, a team comes away with a valuable lesson.
"We know the first month has got to be good if we're going to make a run," second baseman Ronnie Belliard said. "We know that. That's why we're doing the best we can to get ready and do better than last year."
How do the Indians avoid a similarly slow start?
It's about stability.
For the first time since general manager Mark Shapiro put the club firmly in rebuilding mode with the 2002 Bartolo Colon trade, the Indians came into Spring Training with the everyday lineup locked in.
When seventh reliever, backup catcher, utility infielder and fourth outfielder are your only jobs to fill in camp, it says something about the stability and security of your roster.
"In years past," Sabathia said, "guys were battling for spots. So from the middle of March, we had to play like it was on. We ran out of steam early. This spring, we pretty much know who's going to be where. So guys are getting ready in the spring, instead of having to play hard every game in March."
Playing hard isn't a requirement until Sunday, when the Indians open the season in Chicago. That the game will give the Indians an early feel for where they're at in relation to the defending champs is a fact not lost on the players.
"They're the team to beat," left-hander Cliff Lee said of the White Sox. "We want to knock them out of first."
To do so, the Indians will have to rise above some of the inconsistencies they showed last year. Aaron Boone, Casey Blake and Ben Broussard, specifically, must have bounce-back years, and the pitching staff must account for the losses of Kevin Millwood and Bob Howry.
The young core of the club, though, is the strength. Jhonny Peralta and Grady Sizemore had breakout, "Leap"-type seasons; Lee had a year that put him in the Cy Young voting; Sabathia was a model of efficiency in the season's final two months; and Victor Martinez and Travis Hafner were polished run-producers in the middle of the order.
Now the club must take the next step, simple as that sounds. And the Indians know that step really has to be made in nail-biter ballgames, where they were dismal last season.
It's about one-run games.
The Indians played a lot of them last season (58, to be exact), and they lost a lot of them, too (36, to be exact). The loss total was the most in the Majors and the most by an AL team since 1968.
To ensure such heartbreak is not endured in '06, the club has put extra emphasis on the game's fundamentals this spring. Bunting, situational hitting and controlling the running game have been as much a part of the players' spring routine as golfing, fishing, and baking in the Florida sun.
"We have more experience," Hafner said, "and we've put a bigger emphasis on situational hitting and bunting, the kinds of things that will help us in one-run games."
Again, it's about experience. It's about growth. It's about improvement that comes from within, rather than through flashy free agent signings.
Those are the ideals the Indians are selling this season. And those are the ideals, the club feels, will make this team a contender from
Day 1.
"Because of the experiences [the players] have gone through," Wedge said, "because of the improvement from a maturity standpoint, because of where we are as a ballclub, the players we brought in and the overall complexity of our team, we have multiple reasons to believe that's going to happen."
And if it happens, and the Indians do reach the promised land that is the postseason, Tribe fans will breathe a sigh of relief.
"It's about time," they'll say.

Many years of unforgettable storylines!TRACEY E. BREGMAN:
It's a great testament to the show, cast, crew, staff and writers on its longevityDON DIAMONT:
Setting the standard, and maintaining a long term level of excellence.TV SOAP:
How long have you been on "Y&R"? Does it seem longer, as long, or shorter than that?JOSHUA MORROW:
I have been on the show 14 years. It was a dream come true for me as a job, and I am just happy to be a part of it.JUDITH CHAPMAN:
I am going into my fourth year. Time has stood still in soapland.BRYTON MCCLURE:
It's my fourth year. It does feel like that long, especially when I look at back at all the stories I have had.JERRY DOUGLASS:
When John died, I never really left because the ghost was on. The show wanted the moral authority even in a post- death fashion. I have been here consistently about 26 years,DANIEL GODDARD:
I have been here about 15 months now. It has gone by very fast.SHARON CASE:
I have been on "Y&R" for 14 years; and its feels like half that much.TRACEY E. BREGMAN:
I have been on the show for 25 years. I can't believe how long it has been and how fast it has flown by.DON DIAMONT:
I have been on "Y&R" for 23 years, left for 2, and in many ways it has flown by in everything that has transpired through that timeTV SOAP:
Has there been a special bonding moment with a cast member, crew member or production staff that you can share with us?JOSHUA MORROW:
Its not specific moments, it's that I have two incredible mentors, Peter Bergman (Jack) and Eric Braeden (Victor). I learned professionalism from Peter and watching how Eric handles every situation. Two great people!JUDITH CHAPMAN:
One of my favorite moments was my very first scene. There was a bit of tension on set and Eric Braeden was there with files in his face. I had not met him before and I just walked on the set. And I went, "Oh my heavens, my very first scenes on "Y&R" are with thee Eric Braeden. I need a drum roll please." The ice was broken, and I did our scene in three takes, and Eric shakes my hand and goes, "You are very good. Miss Chapman needs a drum roll please!" Everyone cracked up. I think I had arrived.BRYTON MCCLURE:
One of the strongest bonds was with Victoria Rowell (Ex-Drucilla). When I first came on the show I was the foster child and it came from her true life story. To portray her story right in front of her, that is a very strong thing.
When Beth Maitland (Ex- Tracy) and Eileen Davidson (Ex-Ashley) joined the show, Terry Lester (Ex-Jack) said to me, "Let's keep ourselves close off the show because we are a fortunate to build a family like this on-screen. " We became more than that.DANIELGODDARD:
Everyday. Everyday you come to the set and you see everybody and it's like family. The crew is so respectful of your storylines.SHARON CASE:
Working with Melody Thomas Scott (Nikki) during the storyline when she and I were stuck in the sewer with rats.TRACEY E. BREGMAN:
It has been great working with wonderful people from everyone at "Y&R" to the Baldwin/Fisher clan as well as Michelle Stafford (Phyllis).DON DIAMONT:
I lost my father and brother during the same year since I have been on "Y&R"; as a whole, the show has always been very supportive and it meant a lot to me.
When you think of "Y&R 35" what does that mean to you?JOSHUA MORROW:
It means success, shows don't usually last this long. We have been doing it for 35 years and kicking-ass for this long and its good.JUDITH CHAPMAN:
Longevity. For me to be with the number one show in daytime, not only does it show "Y&R" has longevity but I do too! (She laughs)BRYTON MCCLURE:
Legendary! It's a legendary show. It's been the number one show consecutively in the US for 18 years.DANIEL GODDARD:
Honored. I am so honored to think that I could be part of it. To Jerry, Jeanne, Jess, Peter, Eric, and Joshua: I hope that I can do for the show what they have done, and have "Y&R" run for another 35 years.

WASHINGTON (CNNMoney.com) -- The Senate began work Thursday on a bill that aims to prevent the next financial crisis.
But don't expect a final vote on a bill anytime soon.
Lawmakers started making opening speeches Thursday, talking in general about the bill. They're not expected to start debating the details of possible changes to the bill until next Tuesday.
The amendment process and debate could take several weeks, since Republicans and some Democrats have deep reservations about parts of the bill and plan to offer changes rewriting it. Republicans have the ability to filibuster amendments, and they can also filibuster the final vote on the bill.
"I hope we end up with a good bill, and that we end up repairing the tensions and stress that exists in this legislative body," said Sen. Christopher Dodd, D-Conn., chairman of the Senate Banking Committee. He vowed to give all potential changes time to be debated on the floor.
The Senate was delayed in taking up the bill earlier this week when Republicans blocked efforts to move forward three times in less than 48 hours. On Wednesday night, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., agreed to begin debating without opposition, as it became clear several Republicans were ready to join Democrats in starting the debate.
The Republicans said they wanted to complete negotiations on a compromise between Dodd and the Senate panel's ranking member, Sen. Richard Shelby, R-Ala. But Shelby said Wednesday that there was an impasse in the talks, and that led his party to end its resistance to the debate.
The House passed a Wall Street reform bill last December. A final Senate bill, if passed, would trigger one of two options: either a conference with the House to reconcile differences and come up with a single measure that must pass both chambers, or the House could agree to vote on the Senate bill.
The biggest changes expected next week are in the part of the bill that would prevent financial firms from getting too big to fail.
A proposed $50 billion pot to be tapped when regulators unwind failing financial institutions, currently in the Dodd bill, is expected to be stripped out, according to a congressional aide. Republicans have said the fund could be considered a bailout, because it signaled implicit government intervention.
The bill is also expected to be changed to specifically say that shareholders of failing financial firms up for government-run unwinding will be wiped out.
The Federal Reserve's emergency lender-of-last-resort powers are expected to be narrowed, so that such loans are available in real emergencies only to help solvent firms in a liquidity crunch.
The bill currently allows the Fed to shrink a big Wall Street firm if two-thirds of a panel of regulators agrees. However, it fails to grant federal regulators strong new powers to break up banks, which has become a battle cry by economist Simon Johnson and other lawmakers.
Sen. Bernard Sanders, an independent from Vermont who caucuses with Democrats, will offer an amendment to break up banks that are too big. In addition, Sen. Edward Kaufman, D-Del., and Sen. Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio, have filed an amendment that caps bank size.
"If we're going to prevent big banks from putting our entire economy at risk, we need to place sensible size limits on our nation's behemoth banks," Brown said in a statement.
The top obstacle between Democrats and Republicans remains how much power and scope to give a proposed consumer financial product regulator.
This new presidentially appointed regulator would be tasked with creating new rules for credit cards, mortgages and auto loans, and enforcing those rules on the largest banks. Smaller banks could keep their regulator when it comes to enforcement.
Democrats propose sticking the consumer regulator inside the Fed, but they also want to make sure the regulator has strong powers, such as banning penalties imposed on homeowners who pay off mortgages early.
The bill also would regulate auto loans, which may impact some auto dealers if they offer financing packages for the cars they sell. Lawmakers are expected to propose an amendment stripping auto loans from new regulations, just as the House does. That will be a contentious fight in the Senate.
Republicans say the consumer regulating powers are too broad and they want existing regulators to have more of a say on the rules.
Other sticking points involve regulating bets on complex financial contracts known as derivatives. Lawmakers want to make them more transparent, pushing them onto clearinghouses and exchanges. They also want those making bets to post collateral, backing up the deals.
But Democrats also want to force banks to spin off their swaps desk, or the parts that deal in making such risky bets.
Republicans think the Democrats' crackdown on derivatives goes too far, harming businesses, such as airlines and farmers, who benefit from making such bets to shed the risk of swings in prices and interest rates. They also say it will push the financial industry to make trades overseas.

Elbit to Establish Mission Training Center for Fighter Pilots of a Latin American AF
- Contract, valued at $18.5 million, to be performed during 2014
Elbit Systems Ltd. (NASDAQ and TASE: ESLT) ("Elbit Systems") announced today that it was awarded a contract valued at $18.5 million for the establishment of a Mission Training Center (MTC) for fighter aircraft of a Latin American Air Force. The establishment of the MTC will be performed during 2014.
The MTC is designed to improve the operational training of pilots by training in various mission scenarios, in varying war zones and in the relevant threat environment of each war zone - a cutting-edge training capability which has not been available to Air Forces in the past. The high quality of operational training achieved by the MTC will enable the customer to operate some of the training sorties onboard the trainers instead of fighter jets, thus allowing optimal use of existing resources.
Military Simulation and Training Market - Global Forecast to 2021
This new contract marks another milestone in Elbit Systems' mission training activities and follows the establishment of the MTC for the Israeli Ministry of Defense (IMOD) for the F-16 and F-15 fighter aircraft.
Elbit Systems Aerospace Division's Co-General Manager, Yoram Shmuely, commented: "We are proud of the customer's decision to select our breakthrough solution, marking a significant milestone in our mission training activities. This selection attests to the trust in Elbit Systems' solutions, combining both a technological edge and the understanding of the customer's unique needs, and further strengthens our position as world leaders in the field of advanced tactical training."
The MTC is a unique system that enables joint-training between the various trainees, both within the Air Force and at an interoperable level. The Air Force teams will be able to train in formations of pairs and foursomes, and the system will also enable integration with other training systems. In addition, the system will allow joint-training of various mission scenarios, even if the different trainers are situated in geographically distant locations.

House LV by Areal Architecten
The aim of the project was to create a spacious family house in the village of Haacht. The orientation and the narrow plot lead a plan L-shaped around a terrace overlooking the street. The living spaces, located on the ground floor, consist of a large living room and a kitchen in its purest form : a large work table of 8m long, holding its opening on the street.
The upper floor is organized along a corridor enlighten by detailed skylights. A skin of wood covered the ground creating a unity and a contrast with the white walls.
The mass of the envelope made of dark brick highlights the fragility of the windows. The structure made by in situ concrete is permanently visible in the house, and is supported by eight fins 40mm x 300 mm steel columns, increasing the views angles in the house.

Neil Lennon leaves Celtic
Neil Lennon has resigned as manager of Celtic Football Club with immediate effect.
The Lurgan man has been repeatedly linked with a move to Norwich City in recent months.
Bookies have named former Celtic striker Henrik Larsson as odds on favourite to replace Lennon.
BBC Scotland quoted Lennon as saying: "I have parted company with Celtic. I can't thank Peter Lawwell and the board enough for their backing and support.
"The club are in a very strong position and I wish the fans and the club all the very best for the future."
The 42-year-old replaced Tony Mowbray in 2010 and as well as leading the club to three successive Scottish Premiership successes, he has also helped the Hoops claim two Scottish Cup wins and masterminded their run to the last 16 of last season's Champions League.
That European campaign also included the famous Parkhead win over Barcelona and former Leicester midfielder Lennon is now expected to continue his career in England.
Martin Reilly - who represents the Northern Irishman - said that after four years and three title wins, the former club captain had decided he wanted to take on a fresh challenge.
He told Press Association Sport: "Four years is a good spell to be manager of a club like Celtic but now Neil wants to look ahead to the next chapter of his career."
Despite being linked with the vacant managerial positions at Norwich and West Brom, Reilly insists his client has not agreed to any job offer yet.
He added: "He has nothing lined up. He just feels now is the time to move on to the next challenge."
Lennon originally signed as a player for the Glasgow giants in 2000 during Martin O'Neill's reign as Parkhead boss.
He won five titles in seven seasons and helped the club reach the 2003 UEFA Cup Final.
He left the club in 2007 to join Nottingham Forest but was later tempted back to Celtic Park a year later when Gordon Strachan offered him a role on the Hoops' coaching staff.
But after Mowbray's disastrous reign ended following a 4-0 humiliation away to St Mirren in March 2010, Lennon was given the top job.
He suffered an embarrassing Scottish Cup semi-final defeat to Ross County just three games into his stint in charge and was pipped to the Scottish title by Rangers a year later after his first full season in charge.
But at the end of that season, he told the Parkhead crowd: "This is not the end, it's just the beginning."
He stayed true to his word as he became only the fourth Celtic boss to lead the club to three titles in a row, joining Willie Maley, Jock Stein and Strachan in an exclusive club, as he made the most of Rangers' demotion to the bottom tier of the Scottish game.
However, controversy has never strayed far from Lennon during his time in Scotland.
He was given a four-match touchline ban following a spat with then Ibrox assistant manager Ally McCoist back in March 2011.
That same month, a parcel bomb addressed to the Celtic boss was intercepted by Royal Mail staff, while he was attacked in the dug-out at Tynecastle in May of that year after a supporter leapt from the Hearts end and charged straight for him.
Despite those ugly incidents, Reilly insisted Lennon had enjoyed his time in Glasgow's east end.
"It's been a fantastic journey for Neil since at Celtic," he said.
"He's enjoyed his time as a player, coach and now manager of the club and it's been fantastic for him.
"He has had good backing from the board and believes Celtic is a fantastic club, one of the biggest in the world. He wishes the club and the board all the very best for the future."
Meanwhile, bookmakers have already instilled former Celtic hero Henrik Larsson - currently in charge of Swedish outfit Falkenbergs - as the 1/3 favourite to replace Lennon as Hoops boss.

Moving along the Mississippi
Trip Start
Oct 17, 2009
Trip End
Nov 15, 2009
Lowering the wicket dams meant a couple of other things as well. It meant increased river flow as well as more river debris. Our cruising speed of 9 mph increased to over 10 mph. The day we left Peoria we traveled only 27 miles, anchoring outside the channel behind Duck Island. We arrived around 3pm and this time to our relief it was pretty straightforward—no grounding the boat, no anchor trouble. Sighs of relief were followed by a couple of cold beers as we relished in the afternoon sunshine.
The following day, Sun Oct 25 was a big day. We covered ninety-six miles, thanks to faster flows, to arrive less than 40 miles above the confluence with the Mississippi (Dad--every time I write Mississippi, I think of how you used to spell it out for me as a kid!). We pulled in behind Wing Island and anchored behind two other cruising boats that we had met at the docks in Peoria.
We pulled up the anchor close to noon on the 26th. We had planned to stay at a marina several miles downstream on the Mississippi (M- iss-I-ss-ippi) but when we called to make a reservation were told that their normal 15 foot depths in the harbor had dropped to less than five feet due to draw downs of the locks on the Mississippi. So we turned to our Plan B and anchored between Island #526 and Mason Island right at Illinois River mile marker 0.0. It was a great spot. From the bow of the boat we watched the Mississippi River flow south. From the stern, the Illinois River.
Day 11 (Oct 27) we left behind the Illinois River and entered upon the "mighty" Mississippi River! With the region experiencing about 7 inches of rain above the October average, you may be able to imagine how we went flying downstream, moving over 13 mph and dodging river debris including everything from coolers, numerous footballs and soccer balls to many large tree trunks. We chatted with one cruising couple who watched an entire dock go by!
At one point we spotted something in the river looking at first like driftwood but then noticed it was moving decisively and perpendicular to the flow. As we approached and steered out of the way, we made out the head of a deer between the waves! We looked at the depth meter, 58 feet. River flow was at least 5 mph and the river had to be over 500 feet wide (and cold). And despite all these daunting factors, here was this deer swimming at a good clip across the current. We watched in awe as it arrived to the opposite bank.
Besides the increase in scale, there were other differences from the Illinois River as well. Wingdams appeared on our Illinois River charts at mile 63.5 but were not as prevalent as they are on the Mississippi. Wingdams are submerged dikes that run more or less perpendicular to river flow. Their purpose is to deflect the current towards the center of the channel to prevent both sediment deposition and bank erosion. Running over one if you draft more than a couple of feet would be a very bad thing and thus made navigating a little more exciting.
Another new feature for us were the weirdams which are spaced out around river bends but are sufficiently below the water surface to allow traffic to pass over them. Wingdams and weirdams caused increased turbulence, which when paired with a massive tow pushing 30 barges upstream, increased turbulence 100 fold.
So between the cold wind and rain, poor visibility, dodging large hazardous debris, increased commercial traffic coming from all directions, wingdams, weirdams, and even charts that for the MS River don't show the placement of the nuns and cans (buoys the indicate the navigable channel), Tom commented that he felt like he had jumped to Level 10 of some kind of maniacal video game. He managed the helm calm and collected and even enjoyed it. I helped with navigation (wing dam, wing dam!! Oh my god-large tree, large tree! Whistle, whistle…) and busted out a minestrone soup belowdecks while getting tossed around by turbulence from the enormous tows. Good beginner's practice for cooking at sea.
We passed through two locks but because of the draw down a couple of days prior, we only locked down less than a foot in both cases. These are the only two we'll pass on the Mississippi.
After covering about 76 miles we pulled in around 2pm to the famous "marina" Hoppies at Kimmswick, Missouri. Established in 1934, this place is an institution and is the last marina for 228 miles.
Yesterday, Wed Oct 28 was another big travel day. The weather forecast had indicated thunderstorms for Thurs and Fri and with the river already full we wanted to be as far along as possible. We made 110 miles and are now only 48.5 miles above the confluence with the Ohio River. We pulled out of the channel just before 5pm and into Little Diversion Channel to anchor for the night. All day, despite a forecast of "partly sunny" it had been very cold and gray. Strangely enough, as soon as we pulled into our anchorage the cold blanket lifted to reveal a bright, warm sunny sky. Tom actually threw on a pair of shorts as we pulled chairs out onto the deck for sunset.
Today Thurs Oct 29 we will travel to the confluence of the Ohio River at Cairo, IL.

Dr. Jill Brady, assistant professor in the speech-language pathology program in the Department of Special Education, published a book titled Inter-sentential Influences on Predicted Verb Subcategorization.
This work, based on her dissertation research conducted at the University of Pittsburgh, was an investigation of the potential discourse-level influences on the prediction for upcoming verb subcategorizations—the obligatory and optional upcoming structures associated with the verb. Per-phoneme reading times across the target region were found to be significantly faster following coherent (vs. incoherent) contexts, but syntactic priming did not influence reading times.

I saw this on an episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer today :
Xander: Right. I'm so good at it you might have to ship me off to the Army to get me out of the way!
Buffy: The Army?
Xander: You didn't think I knew about that, did you? You two talking about me behind my back . . . And if I did join the Army, I'd be great! You know why? 'Cause they might give me a job that couldn't be done by any well-trained border collie.
Sorry if this has been posted before, I jusy laughed my butt off at it and though you guys might like it too

I do and I use it. It's just that I understand what Pano's test is trying to do and I know that unless the amplifier is going to go into current limiting before it hits the voltage limits, that Pano's test is just as good as using the scope.
In fact Pano's test is somewhat better then using the scope and here's why. Using the scope with music and watching the wave forms is a bottoms up way of doing the test. That is, I can watch the scope trace and look for any clipping but it's heavily dependant on the music being played. That is music starts at silence then goes its merry way reaching certain peaks. What I really need to do, to make sure that I will be clip free at that volume, is play a sine wave sweep but start right at the top, that is 0dB. If the sine wave sweep played at the maximum digital amplitude for that given volume ends up clip free on the scope then I'm home dry. Pano's test goes about finding this exact same level at 0dB, but does it without the need for a scope.

What 5th is saying is correct but it does not apply to what Tom and I are speaking of ....
5th your are applying the fix digital signal as supplied by pano after using an variable analog signal to set gain with no reference . The best way to do this correctly is to use the scope , your zero db reference is nothing more than the loudest volume reached it does not represent the max of anything more than the limit acceptable by the user on a specific recording .... Pano should do a recording to be used by all , along with the test tone , if not we have no reference so the numbers are useless for comparisons or any conclusions... |

Tom, with all due respect, you simply do not understand this test. I respect your experience and designs, but you are not understanding the test - and I don't know why.
Please read post #277, all you need is contained therein. The first sentence of post #279 may also help. BTW, there has been no resistance to looking at a 'scope by those who own them. None. The only thing close to that is that one doesn't need a 'scope for this test. Nothing wrong with using one if you have it. |

Pano the test is done using pink Floyd , will the results be the same switching to the 1812 symphony ....?
4th February 2012, 03:14 AM | #286 | |
diyAudio Moderator
Yes, the test results will be the same voltage. However, if you set your levels with Floyd, then your 1812 levels will probably be too low, by ear. The test tone won't care a bit.
So if you want to know how much voltage you need not to clip very dynamic tracks, then set the volume with the 1812 overture. Quote:
The object of the test is not to determine what SPL is "Loud Enough" for you and your system, but what voltage your amp puts out once you have reached that level. |

btw I just realized that we're going on about clipping when it wasn't even mentioned by Pano.

my thoughts exactly, I somehow have the feeling that there's a lot of confusion floating around but can't put my finger on it. maybe it's me who doesn't get it.

Hi Nate. I did not see any pictures but the pricing goes along with what the market will pay. Scraps often make the material cost free but you do have time in lay up and machining and finishing. You often have a dollar figure in mind for labor but most times you can't get it unless you produce a killer item that everyone wants.

Are you doing this as a business, or just trying to make a couple of bucks from your hobby? If you're just trying to pick up a bit of extra cash, try pricing your work at some multiple of the material costs. Using a multiple of 1.5 – 2.0 should easily give you a "profit", but you'll probably find that you're working for around minimum wage. If you're going into business, it's a totally different ballgame. For that, you need to determine the cost of being in business (taxes, licenses, insurance, etc), an adequate hourly wage for yourself (and any employees) including self employment taxes, etc. A multiple of 3.0 – 3.5 would probably get you in the ballpark, but an hour or two with a CPA would help you understand all the parameters that go into determining a shop rate. -- Adversity doesn't build character...................it reveals it. |

Even scrap should be called out at its replacement value. I don't allow the word "scrap" to be used in the shop. It is "material" and it has value. Having it around allows you, from time to time, to make a bonus on a project, and who wouldn't want an occasional bonus? Your hourly should reflect what it takes to cover your overhead—utilities, rent, taxes, tool maintenance, insurance, incidentals, etc.—plus your hourly pay for your skill, imagination, utility, artistic approach and uniqueness. On top of that, profit so that your business can thrive. It's ok to do prototypes of this kind of thing and play with the numbers and run the product out there and see what happens. What I lose patience with is someone discovering that the market will not pay you for what it takes to do this or that product and continuing to do it anyway. There. I feel better. Nate, coasters typically have a depression in them. They don't need to, I suppose, but it's pretty consistent and it says, nearly out loud, "Hey! You with the sweaty glass! I'm a coaster and I'm over here!"

I don't sell anything any more, but I did at one time. In fact, I sold quite a bit because my wife owned a flower shop and I set up a woodworking display there. Woodwork seemed to be a good complement for flowers. My basic formula was 125% of the cost of materials and the equivalent of $20/hour for labor. I deviated from this formula often, but almost always on the up side. Hence, my formula was more like a minimum. IMO – There are some items where you can make a reasonable profit and others where it is very difficult to make a profit. A profitable item tends to be something that is either unique and different and unavailable elsewhere or something that you could produce quickly by making multiple copies at one time. I seemed to have my best results with pens, bottle stoppers and cork screws (all turned on the lathe). -- Rich, Cedar Rapids, IA - I'm a woodworker. I don't create beauty, I reveal it. |

I had a commission to make a couple of standing grain cutting boards for a lady for Christmas that she could gift to her daughters in law. This was a learning experience for me since the only real building I've done for the last 50 years was some coasters for a friend and restoring some expensive 18th century cabinetry. (That was a learning curve in itself). The cabinetry, if I counted all the research I did would have paid less than a dollar an hour. Others have said "Whatever the market will bear", others mention time and materials. In your case I think I would set a price, based on time and materials, and see if the items sell at that price point. If they don't, wait a few weeks and drop the price 20%. If they sell quickly, raise the price the next time by 15% and so on. Your market will find you by your work, not by what you charge. Myself? I'm still trying to find my niche to be able to support my habits, (wood working, Bus Conversion and Beer), and not have to take anything away from our limited monthly income. Good Luck to ya!

According to to most recent Zillow Home Values report, home values as measured by the Zillow Home Value Index,were up from October 2011 to October 2012 in all Colorado metro areas including Denver, Colorado Springs, Ft. Collins, Greeley, Grand Junction, Boulder and Pueblo metros.
Home values in the United States were up in October, increasing 4.7 percent from October 2011 to October 2012.
The year-over-year changes for Colorado metros were:
Change from October 2011 to October 2012 (in %):
Colorado statewide: +6.6
Boulder +4.6
Colo Springs +3.5
Denver metro +10.4
Ft. Collins +5.5
Grand Junct +3.8
Greeley +6.3
Pueblo +2.2
As can be seen in the graph, in recent years home values have shown the most stability and/or growth in Boulder, Fort Collins and in Denver metro, and those three metros also have the highest values.
The Zillow home values in July 2012 for each metro area are (in $s):
Colorado 212,400
Boulder 316,000
Colo Springs 187,700
Denver metro 224,700
Ft. Collins 226,600
Grand Junct.163,300
Greeley 165,200
Pueblo 104,000
Not surprisingly, Boulder has the highest home value level and Pueblo has the lowest. The largest decline in home values in recent years is seen in the Grand Junction area where home values have declined from about 220,000 to 160,000 since 2007. Price declines in other Colorado metros have been more mild as can be seen in the graph. Metro Denver, Boulder and the Ft. Collins area are all now back to, or very near to, previous peak levels
See the home price archive for comparisons with other indices.
Zillow home valuations, known as the median "Zestimate valuation" should be taken with a grain of salt (like all home price indices in which the method is not spelled out) but in this case they do appear to be in line with other home price indices and trends.

In a surprise move, Clear Channel's KBIG-FM in Los Angeles has dumped its longtime Hot Adult Contemporary format for an Adult Hits one, putting them in direct competition with CBS' KCBS-FM (Jack 93.1) and Emmis' KMVN-FM (Movin' 93.9)
Core artists include Beyonce, Christana Aguliera, and John Mayer.
Longtime radio personality Charlie Tuna (who is also a notable voice-over talent) was let go from the station today. He did the morning shift on KBIG.
The station is being re-branded as 104.3 MyFM (not affiliated with My Network TV or Myspace.com, which are both owned by News Corp.)

I know, my las entry was also about Nintendo´s new machine, BUT today I received a slap in the face with the delay of the "big" upcoming game Rayman Legends, which not only it is being pushed back to september, but also made multiconsole.
Of course, I WILL be optimistic about it, I really want this console to succeed, and not for Nintendo but for ME, because the bigger the WII U gets, the competition will have to put more effort to keep up (jeez!)
Now, I am looking forward to march and that great Monster Hunter game.

Singing the national anthem is optional for Islamic students at Cranbourne Carlisle Primary Photo: Michele Mossop
- Neil Mitchell criticises school allowing Islamic students to opt out of national anthem
- Grandmother furious after students walk out during school assembly's national anthem
A primary school has come under fire for permitting Islamic children to walk out of a school assembly while the national anthem is sung.
Cranbourne Carlisle Primary has cited a religious month of mourning as the reason Islamic children are able to opt out of singing or listening to the anthem.
Grandmother Lorraine McCurdy has told 3AW Mornings she was furious when school officials invited students to leave during the anthem.
"I saw red," she told Neil Mitchell. "I felt 'you don't walk out on my national anthem'."
Independent senator for Tasmania Jacqui Lambie also slammed the school.
"I find these schools that are allowing this to happen disgusting," she said.
"I don't think religion needs to be brought into the national anthem. We should all be proud to be Australians and proud to sing the national anthem"
Listen to Senator Lambie speak to Neil Mitchell
In a statement, Principal Cheryl Irving said during the month of Muharram Shi'a muslims are required not to participate in fun or joyous activities, such as listening to music.
A number of callers identifying as Shi'a muslims told Neil Mitchell they did not believe the students needed to avoid the national anthem in order to respect Muharram.
Listen to Lorraine McCurdy explain what happened during the assembly
"No doubt the school thinks it's doing the right thing, but surely the whole point of what we've been talking about lately is to bring kids together, to break down any barriers between the muslim community and the rest of the community, to encourage them to embrace and be part of Australia."
"It is the wrong message to send."
The Department of Education said it supports the school in a statement.
"The Department supports our schools to be inclusive for all students, this includes understanding or respecting religious cultural observances."

It is highly unlikely that any automaker with a design that has an expected lifespan into '07 and beyond would not take the new regs into account. The Ford 500 does not have this problem. Neither does the new BMW 3 series. Luv my 'stang. Just being realistic about the headrests.
I just sat in my son's new 2005 Pontiac G6. Guess what? The headrests are designed perfectly. Unlike the 2005 Mustang. When I pull the headrest up (3 clicks), the headrest is aligned with the back of my head (not neck) and there is about 2 to 3 inches between the headrest and my head. Perfect. I don't have to have my head tilted forward in an unnatural position. There is one problem however, these headrests aren't in the Mustang.
I for one strenuously disagree that Ford dropped the ball on the head rests. HAve you sat in a late model Volvo - or any Volvo built in last one or two decades? Ford has finally desinged a headrest that will prevent if not eliminate whiplash. My headrests do not interfere with my head position. Quite frankly, I'm really not sure what all the fuss is about. As I said earlier, adjust your seat - you must be siitting to upright. The new Stang headrests are the abrolute best yet and surpass even Volvo in their design elements. Bravo FMC!
I feel that the driver should dictate the position of the seat. My headrest should not dictate where I put my seat and seatback. If I pull out the headrest, (ie. remove it), and then adjust the seat where it is in a comfortable driving position for me, then replace the headrest, it is in the way. I am totally unable to adjust the headrest so that it is behind my head without my head tilted forward. Therefore I have to tilt the seat back and let the headrest dictate my seatback position. BAD DESIGN. The angle of the headrest sticks too far forward.
I would like to see a picture of what your talking about! I',m 5' 11" and my head does NOT touch the headrest while driving! I have my headrest up, 3 clicks on the post, just so if I do get in an accident, I won't get whiplash. I just can't see how your chin is in your chest, as you say? Dave... BTW, I'm an ex-B52 Crew Chief Was the best job I ever had! I was stationed at Castle Air Force Base in California, but it's long gone now
I just traded in my Volvo S60 T5 and immediately felt right at home with the Mustang headrests. It is was obvious to me that Volvo's input in seats is filtering in at Ford. My 99 Mustang GT seats were a joke compared to the 2005.

I am currently stationed at Luke AFB, I have beed a crewdog for about 5 yrs. This job probably is not as fun as your job was back then.
I will take a picture this weekend of the headrest when I'm sitting in the car. I perfer to sit mostly straight up and not at in incline. The incline position places a strain on my lower back. Mike
Who actually rest thier head on the head rest while driving? Maybe im built wrong but 5'10" and they dont bother me at all.
message to people complaining about head "rest"raint: its a SAFETY DEVICE not a pillow...the seats are not made to sleep in
We have no issues. I can and do rest my head on it while driving. I am 6' tall and while I do lay the seat back to the "B" pillar, it fits perfectly.
Here's another vote for "perfect design" 05 Mustang headrest. I'm 6 foot, and in my normal, upright seating position, the headrest is about 1-2 inches away from the back of my head. Perfect. Much better than the old SN95 seats where the headrest was a useless, whiplash-assisting 6 inches away.
headrest position is ok for me normally, but it is WAY too far forward with a helmet on... I took mine to the track this past weekend, and it was pretty uncomfortable. Had to rake the seat back so that my arms were too extended for my head to be comfortable. Even the instructor mentioned it.
OK, Camera died so no pics. Let me try to describe the problem for me... I sit upright in the car. If I try to keep my head straight up and down, I run into the headrest and it forces me to lean my head forward placing a strain on my neck. If I recline the seat slightly then it is better. However, as stated, I do not sit this way. If I realy recline the seat then no problem, except I am now in an abnormal and unsafe, for me, position. I want the headrest there for safety. I do not want it to cause me to be unsafe in the car. So now maybe another question. Does a headrest/restraint from a 2004 fit into the holes for the 05? I think it's time for a trip to the dealer.

to me, the only valid comment about head rest being to far forward is (with helmet on) the reasons for head rests are to reduce and prevent head, neck and back injuries in frontal or rear end collisions although I do feel for those that just can't get comfortable, are you deformed? ...............................................................................
I suspect that everyone knows what the head rest is there for. I just wish it wouldn't hit the back of my head when I hit a bumpy stretch of pavement. It is just too close for those of us who do not want the 'low-rider' seating position. Some folks like it, some don't and others don't care. Why do people have to get into such a ****y mood when everyone doesn't agree with them?
Here I am sitting in my normal position. Now in a more re-clined position. This position is not comfortable for me. Mike
Mike, I feel your pain. I am in the same boat as you are. See my earlier posting in this same thread (#33). Having your chin in your chest is not the correct position to be in just to make the improperly designed headrest work. Tilting the seat backwards, which is what most people on this thread are apparently doing, to make the headrest not touch your head is not the fix. As I have stated earlier, remove the headrest to get it out of the equation. Then adjust the seat where you are in a comfortable driving position. Then reinsert the headrest. I'll bet you that the headrest is touching your head and forcing you to tilt your head forward a little. Unless a guy is trying to get laid in the front seat of his Mustang, there is no reason to have to lay the seat back in order for the headrest to not touch the back of your head. Again, bad design. https://www.fleet.ford.com/showroom/2006fleetshowroom/2006-mustang.asp I believe Ford has made an adjustment in the 2006 Mustangs for the old farts like you and I. Look under Major Optional Features. 2 way head restraint.
