Like I said, it can be seen either way given that they weren't wheel-to-wheel inches apart when Vettel went off given that Vettel preempted Jenson's going "wide". Ironic that if Vettel had held his line and potentially forced an incident that he would have been the one to get off the hook

Alonso looks strong and if Ferrari keeps up the development on the car he might begin to dominate.
Oh BTW fox SUCKS! Those guys had absolutely no idea what was going on. They sounded like they were in a convalescence home and the nurse forgot to bring their pills.
It's also a rule that you can't force an opponent off the track, which it could be argued is exactly what happened. But it's done, so whatever.
Pretty much every driver out there has had more than their share of "childish" moments, but yea, let's single out Vettel, because everyone needs a whipping boy. It was just as childish of Lewis to want to run back to the motorhome after getting a flat tire and being relegated to the back of the pack even though his car was one of the fastest out there even after the incident.
Anyway, clearly stewarts agree and I'm glad to see Vettel get dropped all the way back to 5th.
One other thing, I find it funny that week after week everyone talks about how awful the Ferrari is and what a god Alonso is for getting it around the track. Maybe it ain't so awful after all?
A pass is made on a single corner of a single lap. Doesn't matter what he did on lap 63, 64, 65, 12, 15, 37.Originally Posted by TBomb

What a race! Damn... so much going on. Well done from Alonso - absolute beast! Did a great job looking after his tires while defending from both Button and Vettel and even put in the second fastest time of the race on lap 66! Ferrari is not as bad as it seemed on hard tires during the beginning of the season. I liked his radio communication - when his race engineer told him that Vettel and Button were catching up fast, he simply said "don't worry" or something like that in Italian.
Ferrari and McL's top speeds are far greater than the Bulls (308/309). Kick ass drives from Kobayashi (14th to 4th), Kimi (10th to 3rd) and Perez (12 to 5th).
and from the sound of it, glad I didn't watch the FOX broadcast. Sky's was beautiful - no commercials is a wonderful thing!
This doesn't guarantee you lose position. They've still got to make the pass.
Otherwise you're allowing drivers to run everyone off track and the only passes happen on the straights?
"There is no moral. It's just a bunch of stuff that happens."
Good race, too bad a puncture at the wrong part of the lap ruins any chance of points in races these days... to catch the pack with the tires these days guarantees you will be destroying your tires quickly, insuring another stop negating any gains. Loved Lewis unlapping himself was entertaining to watch. Seems Vettel and RB are slamming Lewis for doing so in the press.
Lol at Vettel caught fibbing on camera.. when asked by Lauda post race Vettel if he hadn't heard anything about the pass from Button, Vettel said "no" when minutes before the camera caught Button discussing the move with Vettel at length. Was a like a Schumacher flash back for me.
This is a nicely explained write up on when Vettel did get a penalty.. (on a great blog written btw by people who actually race)
The good news here is that the stewards were consistent in their application of the rules.
Smart racecraft would have been to give the position back to Button, and either have another go later in the lap, or settle for the haul of points. I can't imagine that Horner thought they would actually get away with an off-track pass.
"he didn't say anything, he didn't complain to me" is not keeping your mouth shut, he could of done what Button did and be "classy".

[MLS SPOTLIGHT] MLS could welcome not just its 20th team but its 21st team in 2015. The Orange County board of commissioners followed the city of Orlando board of commissioners in approving the use of moneys generated by a local Tourist Development Tax (TDT) for various venue projects, including a new soccer stadium in downtown Orlando. USL PRO champion Orlando City SC is seeking an expansion and would like to begin play in MLS in 2015, the same year as New York City FC will begin operation.
"We are ecstatic about the positive vote,"
said Orlando City President Phil Rawlins in a statement right after the vote. "Our fans have been the driving force behind the effort to bring MLS to
Orlando. This one is for them."
The vote by the Orange County board of commissioners was 5-2 in favor of the tax measure and followed a six-hour meeting at which local residents
were given the opportunity to express their support or opposition to the tax and stadium project.
Those funds for the soccer stadium would amount to $20 million of the $94.5 million in
tax revenues. Other moneys would be used for the construction of the Dr. Phillips Performing Arts Center, renovation of the Citrus Bowl and tourism marketing.
The cost for the first phase
of the stadium (including land acquisition) is estimated at $85 million, of which Orlando City would contribute $30 million. The city of Orlando has been buying up lots for the stadium project.
There has always been more resistance to the project on the Orange County board than in the city of Orlando, where mayor Buddy Dyer has worked hard to
push the project along.
Flavio Augusto da Silva, the Brazilian owner of Orlando City SC who resides in Orlando, set this fall as the target for the
announcement of Orlando as MLS's 21st team to begin play in 2015. Orlando could be the first of several new MLS teams in the Southeast. Miami and Atlanta are also being tipped as possible new MLS
markets as the league expands to 24 teams by 2020.
"We'd like Orlando to be the next expansion team," MLS President Mark Abbott
said in an interview with the Orlando
Sentinel Monday. "We have in place a number of the factors that we think are needed to be successful, a strong leadership group and a strong fan base. Once we finalize [a stadium plan], we will
have a Major League Soccer team here."

Thank you for all of the great information! I actually did check that site out last night. Another curly told me about it. I may have to purchase the book. I really enjoyed reading the information on the site. I love learning. lol (hence the name). Anywho, this is what I've been thinking. I learned about the Ph of hair about 3 weeks ago.
I viewed some videos by Kimmaytube on youtube. She has this leave-in recipe that she made that is exactly 4.5 on the Ph scale. My question to you, sence you've read the ebook already, is can I be certain that this mixture will work for me? Ture, it's 4.5 Ph which is the same as hair, BUT, given that my hair properties (porosity, texture, elasticity and density) are very important, should I figure out what will work for my hair (oil, cream, butter, etc) given the different properties it has and create my own leave-in mixture that has a Ph of 4.5? I know that was a long run on sentence. lol sorry.
Your thoughts?

Soccer Hosts Louisville in In-State Clash
Louisville at Kentucky
Saturday, Aug. 29, 7 p.m.

Aug. 28, 2009
UK women's soccer coach Jon Lipsitz earned his first win as Kentucky's new head coach last week, and now he's looking for his next milestone victory, a win over in-state rival Louisville as the Cats host the Cards Saturday at the UK Soccer Complex.
The Wildcats (1-0-0) come into the game off a 2-1 come-from-behind season opening win over Cincinnati. After falling behind 1-0 in the first half, the Wildcats rallied for two second half goals for the win. Samantha Au tied the game with her first collegiate goal in the 48th minute and Jenna Goblirsch scored the game winner nearly nine minutes later on a 25-yard blast from the right of the goal.
Kentucky leads the all-time series with Louisville 5-1-1. However the Wildcats are winless against the Cardinals since the 1996 season. After meeting for five straight seasons in the 90s, the teams took a nine year hiatus from the series before renewing it in 2006. The Cats lost that match 2-1 in overtime and both teams played to a 0-0 tie in 2007.
"We are excited to play another match in front of our fantastic fans here at UK," said Lipsitz. "Louisville is talented and very well coached. It will be a great challenge for the team."
The Cardinals (1-0-0) enter the game of a 1-0 win in their season opener against Miami (Ohio). Freshman Taylor Vancil picked up the shutout for the Cardinals in her first collegiate appearance.
Kickoff is scheduled for 7:00 p.m. at the UK Soccer Complex. All fans receive admission for $1 and the first 50 fans receive a free UK women's soccer drawstring bag. In addition the first 50 students receive free hot dog.

Deutsche Raises Oil Price Forecast, PetroChina TP
Deutsche Bank raised its price target for PetroChina (PTR) from 9.72 Hong Kong dollars to 11.1 Hong Kong dollars on the back of the bank's higher oil price forecast.
Deutsche Bank now expects the Brent crude to be at $110 per barrel this year, $107 in 2015 and $102 in 2016. Its previous estimates were $106.5, $102 and $98.
"The natural gas price hikes (2012-15e), the "green petrol" price hikes (2014-18e); and the lower capex promises (2016-20e) are waking up sleepy PTR," wrote analyst David Hurd.
But Deutsche does not expect PetroChina to divest its assets this year, widely discussed by industry insiders and analysts:
We are making no assumptions about 2014-15 asset sales along with the presumed non-cash, one-off gains from such sales. We have held these discussions with management and we would not be surprised to see on-going pipeline sales similar to what we saw in June 2013: the sale of a minority stake to non-operating investor(s)., which for some reason has yet to show-up in a growing minority interest charge against the P&L.

Read Around the World Challenge
May Link-Up
- Make sure that before you link-up your reviews, you sign up for the challenge on the challenge post
Hey Chris. Sorry I missed the link up for March. I linked up for April with an older review I did of The Happy Lion. I do plan on having a second and original post to link up with as well.
One of the things I love so much about children's books is how they help children (and adults!) learn how to experience the world through the perspectives of others. With that in mind, one of my goals for Book Dads this year was to review more multicultural and ethnically diverse books. To help achieve this (and because I couldn't find a current challenge elsewhere), I've decided to create the Read Around the World Challenge.
* Decide which challenge level you'll be taking on (see below).
* Make sure you grab the button above (right click to save it to your computer)
* Write a post to let all your readers know you're taking part in the challenge and at what level. Make sure to link back to this page with the button and/or text link.
* If you have a blog, please use the Mr. Linky form below to enter into the challenge by entering the direct url/link to your challenge post url and either your name, blog name, or both in the form. Please only use the comment section to participate if you do not have a blog.
* Submit your reviews as you complete them on the designated monthly post (Generally will be on the first Sunday of each month).
The Passport Reading Challenge — Read to or with your child a picture book, chapter book and/or YA lit book by an author from another country (Exclude your own of course).
- Set a goal according to these levels:
* Intercontinental Level — Read 10 or more books by authors from countries on 2 or more different continents
* Savvy Traveler Level — Read 20 or more books by authors from countries on 3 or more different continents
* Marco Polo Level — Read 35 or more books by authors from countries on 4 or more different continents
* National Geographic Level — Read 50 or more books by authors count
We are going to sign up at the Savvy Traveler level for 20 or more books. I wish we had a physical passport and some stickers. I really am going to see if I can find something like that.
Great, great idea!
I'm signing up for the Savvy Traveler level as well!
I am signing up for Savvy Traveler. We're going to give it a shot anyway!
Head, Body, Legs: A Story from Liberia by Won-Ldy Paye & Margaret Lippert (Illustrated by: Julie Paschkis)
Reviewed by: Chris Singer
About the authors:
Won-Ldy Paye is a multi-talented artist from the Dan people of northeastern Liberia, West Africa. He is a member of the Tlo Ker Mehn, the class of professional Dan entertainers who are keepers of the oral tradition. He was trained by his grandmother-Gowo to remember and retell the stories of the Dan people. Some of the published credits of Won-Ldy Paye include The Talking Vegetables, Head, Body, Legs: A Story from Liberia, Why Leopard Has Spots: Dan Stories from Liberia.
Margaret Lippert is the author of 22 books, including 9 anthologies and 13 books for children and young adults. Much of Lippert's body of work draws from the storytelling and folklore traditions of Africa, Latin America, and Asia. After moving from New York to the Seattle area in 1990, she began a collaboration with Won-Ldy Paye, a Liberian storyteller from the Dan tribe tradition. Her most recent books have grown out of this partnership, and are co-authored by Paye. She lives on Mercer Island, Washington.
About the illustrator:
Julie Paschkis is a painter and illustrator, specializing in children's books and posters. She was inspired by the Asafo flags of the Fante people from coastal Ghana while illustrating this book. Julie lives in Seattle, Washington.
About the book:
Head is all alone. Body bounces along, Arms swing about, and Legs stand around. They can't do much by themselves, so they try to join together. But how? Should Head attach to the belly button? Should Legs stand on Arms? If only they can work together, everything will be perfect. Straight from the oral tradition comes this magical retelling of a creation story from Liberia.
My take on the book:
Head, Body, Legs is the wonderful retelling of a Liberian creation folktale and a terrific example of the oral storytelling tradition. I am also very pleased that it is my first book completed for my Read Around the World Challenge!
Young children are going to love this beautifully illustrated story of how head, arms, body and legs met and worked together to become one complete body. Although perhaps a little young for this story, my daughter really enjoyed pointing at the body parts she knew! Readers will undoubtedly giggle at the difficulty the body parts have upon coming together, such as when head becomes attached to belly button and arms get attached to legs. The lesson for children to take from this story is that the reason the body parts are able to eventually fit together pr

El Diablo
Friday, December 21, 2007
Courtesy: Franklin Crawford, Cornell Chronicle
"The trouble with David (Bathrick) is that he does a much better job telling his own stories than anyone else ever could. This means talking about David ... is not nearly as much fun or as instructive as talking with him."
-- Leslie A. Adelson, Cornell professor of German studies, "The Trouble With David: Reflections on a Champ," New German Critique, No. 95, 2005, Special Issue for David Bathrick.
Caveat emptor, then, dear reader:
According to David Bathrick, some time in 1942 a Nazi U-boat crept undetected into Long Island Sound and prowled up the Five Mile River to Darien, Conn. It vanished having caused no obvious harm. The U.S. government tried to keep it secret, but the people of Darien learned about it, were outraged and held a town meeting. Their actions were swift and decisive.
"They canceled the instruction of the German language in the schools, which is why I never learned German then," says Bathrick. "I always thought it was a wonderful example of idealism: 'We'll stop them -- we won't speak their tongue!'"
That never stopped Bathrick, who was a child in Darien at the time. The Jacob Gould Schurman Professor of Theatre, Film and Dance and professor of German studies at Cornell went on to a remarkably colorful and successful career in his chosen fields. He is moving to Bremen, Germany, after 20 years here -- and 17 years prior at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. During that time he's become a scholarly icon, loved and beloved by those who know him and work with him, and, for his involvement with the German SDS and the New Left in Madison, alternately fingered by the Stasi in Communist East Germany and by the FBI at home.
All that was ahead of him in the transformative year of 1954, when Bathrick spent a summer in Berlin living with a German family as part of the American Field Service high school exchange program. He was headed for Dartmouth by then, and the Berlin experience changed his life. He dropped out of Dartmouth between his sophomore and junior years and went back to Germany to study at the Free University of Berlin and in Munich. He bought a motor scooter and tooled around Europe, playing rugby (he was a 217-pound star lineman on the Dartmouth football team) and soaking up the culture -- of Berlin, especially.
"It was just a fascinating place -- it was before the wall -- and so I was constantly going into the East. You learn history in incredible ways when you're in the center point of a hot spot. And I just knew I would go back there."
The chronicle of Bathrick's remarkable academic career can be found in his curriculum vitae (see below). Or far better yet in the 2005 issue No. 95 of the New German Critique (NGC) that's dedicated to him (available through Telos Press -- firstname.lastname@example.com).
And yet, other, let us say "very intriguing," facets of the man's background can be found in a Stasi file under the code name "Diablo." Stasi is short for Ministerium fr Staatssicherheit, or the secret East German police.

Britons' trust in ministers falls
Britons' trust in their political masters is waning, with a growing belief that ministers are interested in power for their own gain, a government advisory body said yesterday.
While people have confidence in the honesty of public service professionals such as doctors and teachers, politicians rate badly, along with estate agents and tabloid journalists, a survey for the Committee on Standards in Public Life found.
Only 22 per cent of those surveyed thought all or most government ministers tell the truth, down five per cent from a similar poll in 2006.
Furthermore, only 38 per cent thought that ministers do not use their position for personal gain compared with 49 per cent two years ago.
There was little confidence in government ministers, who were viewed as out of touch, unlikely to spend public money wisely, and unlikely to admit mistakes, while one in five respondents said they thought some ministers took bribes.
Compared with the 2006 survey, more people thought standards had fallen in recent years and there was less confidence that wrongdoers would be punished.
Committee chairman Sir Christopher Kelly said there were some "worrying trends".
"What is clear from this survey is that the public have clear and strong views about the standards that those in positions of public trust should be meeting and that it matters greatly that those standards are met," he said.

Foz do Iguaçu, Rio de Janeiro, Florianopolis, Sao Paulo
29.01.2013 - 11.02.2013
Foz do Iguaçu is the Brazilian city on the boarder of Argentina where you can go to see the iguazu falls. We spent the night there as it was cheaper to fly out of there than Argentina. It was sweltering hot and the falls were quite pricey so we decided not to go see them again. Foz do iquazu city is rather random so we thought we would spend the day swimming and chilling by the "dam" we saw on the map! The hostel told us which bus to take to the dam and we headed off with our suncream and swimming costumes only to find we weren't at a swimming dam like we pictured we were at a hydroelectric dam! Ha ha. But since we had missioned out there and had nothing else to do we took a tour and it ended up being quite interesting.The Itaipu Dam is a hydroelectric dam on the Paraná River located on the border between Brazil and Paraguay.The dam is the largest operating hydroelectric facility in terms of annual energy generation. The power is shared between Paraguay and brazil and at least we got to cross the boarder and can say we have been to Paraguay!
Itaipu dam
That afternoon we flew to Rio. Since it was the lead up to carnival the hostels were so booked up and pricey but we had booked the cheapest place available and it turned out to be a great hostel in the botafago area with a view of the Christ redeemer statue. We only arrived on the 1st night at about 11pm but we dropped our bags and decided to go for a drink in the neighborhood we were staying in. It was a Tuesday night and the bars that are all 24hrs were packed. Such a great chilled vibe with everyone sitting on the pavement. I had the strongest caparina cocktail ever, it was pure tequila.
The following day we tried to see as much as we could as our time in Rio was limited. It was a Scorcher of a day so we headed straight for Copacabana beach which is an awesome long beach and it was packed even though it was a weekday at 10am. We then walked to Ipanema beach where we had a swim and chilled there until we had had to much sun. Just behind ipanema beach is a main high street with so many cool shops and restaurants. We had the most delicious lunch. It was a Buffett with so much choice so we went crazy as though it was our last meal ever! We then took a wander around the Leblon area and the huge shopping mall. The shopping in Rio is awesome but rather pricey!
After a fun day at the beach and shops we took the subway back to the hostel to have a quick shower ( We have decided London officially has the worst subway in the world, the subway in rio is airconned and brilliant!) Our plan was to go up sugarloaf mountain before sunset but it wasn't the clearest of days and we had heard there was a better place to see the view so we missioned off to get there but when we got to the top of the hill the view point was closed. So we decided to walk back down the hill and stumbled across the Escadaria Selarón steps . They are the work of Chilean-born artist Jorge Selarón who claimed it as "my tribute to the Brazilian people". We then found ourselves at a little road side bar in the neighborhood but as soon as the sun went down we thought we better move on as it didn't feel so safe so we went for a lovely dinner in the saint Teresa area.
Then it was off to florianopolis which is the capital city of Santa Catarina state in the Southern region of Brazil. We struggled to find accomodation because it was school holidays and the week before carnival but in the end we booked a lovely little self catering unit for 8 nights. It was situated in the east of the island in rio Tavares area near the lagoa de conceicao which is an area on the lagoon with lots of shops and restaurants.
We stuggled in the beginning to work out the bus times/routes but in the end we got the hang of it. Over the week we managed to explore most parts of the island although there are 42 beaches. We spent a day on each of the following southern beaches: Campeche, Joaquina, Mole,but our favorite was Barra da Lagoa. Barra de logoa which turns into mosambique beach has the perfect sea, the waves were in enough for Byron to surf but not too big for me to have a nice swim and its more sheltered from the wind so we ended up going back to this beach a few times.
All the beaches are stunning! They are all long and wide with lovely white sand and warm sea. Florianopolis is known for its "hot chicks" but I personally just thought it was full of bum implants, boob jobs and flabby bums in gstrings!
We hired a car for 2 days which was great to go explore the northern beaches and the center of town. The beaches in the north are more built up and busy. We had a swim at praya brava which was nice and then drove along the coast stopping off at a few other beaches. We had brilliant weather most of the time we were there except for one day where it rained non stop but luckily we had a couch and tv.
We loved our time in this beautiful place, it was a great relaxing way to end of our trip!
Our flight to London was booked from São Paulo so we booked 3 nights there. We had planned to take a 12hr bus but when we went online to book we realized it was cheaper to fly but when we arrived at the airport in "São Paulo" we asked the taxi how much it would be to get to the centre of town and he just looked at us and said "São Paulo? That will cost 350 which is about £80" so we realized we were not actually in São Paulo, we were 100kms away. Luckily we found out the airline had a free bus and we arrived at our hotel at About 12 at night. We had booked a place that was in the ghetto! It was Saturday night and carnival weekend so we decided to go for a walk but we soon bought a packet of chips for dinner and hid out in our hotel room. I spent the night staring out the window convinced I would witness a shooting but instead watched a huge drunken bitch fight!São Paulo is one of the richest cities in the southern hemisphere, though inequality between the classes is blatant ( a bit like joburg).
São Paulo is the largest city in Brazil, with a city population of about 11 million and almost 20 million in its metropolitan region. It really is a huge city so we weren't sure where to start. We walked along avenue paulista which is the Main Street in the business district and walked through some lovely parks. It was a sunday and they had blocked off the street to cars so there was a lovely vibe with everyone riding bikes around. That afternoon we needed to escape the heat and I wasn't very well so when we found a shopping center with a cinema where all the movies are in English we got rather excited. A girl who spoke English helped us buy tickets for Lincoln and we got chatting to her. We were so embarrassed that we were watching a movie instead of exploring the city, it was clearly the end of our trip!
The next day before our flight we walked around Ibirapuera Park which is a lovely huge park in the city. It was a public holiday so it was packed with joggers, cyclists, skate boarders etc!
Unfortunately The carnival was not what we thought it would be. Unless you know a local it's hard to find out what's on and you can't buy tickets on line with foreign cards. The tickets to the parades were over USD200 and unfortunately I wasn't feeling up to the crowds of the block parties in São Paulo so we didn't get to experience carnival like you see on tv but it was still a nice time to be there.
Brazil was an awesome country to end our travels on, I would love to go back for the Olympics or World Cup, the vibe will be brilliant!

Statistically speaking, Williams's comment is incorrect. Stats don't tell the full story, however. Green and his teammates had a knack for knocking down crucial 3-pointers when the outcome of a game was in question.
So Green's words to McDonald and Hairston were not about form or technique. His message was about confidence and how he could tell watching from the stands that they weren't confident in their shots.
The results backed Green's comments up. Hairston and McDonald combined to shoot 3-of-19 from the floor, including a 1-of-8 effort from beyond the arc. The Tar Heels shot 3-of-19 from 3-point territory for the game, which provides further evidence that while UNC has shown a capability to hit treys against lesser opponents, the same is not true against legitimate tests.
North Carolina has played – and lost – to three top-100 opponents, according to kenpom.com. In those three games against Butler, Indiana and Texas, the Tar Heels have shot 22.4 percent (11-of-49) from 3-point territory.
UNC has connected on 40 percent (72-of-180) of its 3-pointers in its other eight games, all wins.
As North Carolina's struggles in the post persist, opponents will key on locking down its perimeter scorers as Texas did on Wednesday.
"We've just got to get set and be able to knock those shots down," junior wing Reggie Bullock told reporters following the game. "Shots come to us, but I felt like they were running us off the 3-point line. They knew that me, P.J. and Leslie are 3-point shooters and they were doing a great job of trying to get up in us and making us put the ball on the floor… They definitely ran us off the line."
The key to combating that approach, according to Bullock, is for the Tar Heels to do a better job of using their screens and coming off those picks ready to attack.
"The biggest threat is the screener himself," McDonald said. "So if you can get someone else open, then they can get you open a lot. If you screen for somebody, you're probably going to be open."
If that doesn't work, capitalize on the extended defense by finding a seam to the basket. Dexter Strickland and Bullock had varying degrees of success in working around their defenders in getting into the lane, which helped create some space for their teammates on the perimeter. Those shots still didn't fall.
"It's all concentration," McDonald said. "We've just got to be able to get on stage and knock down the open shots. Just concentrate on your shots and do whatever routine you normally do. Do that and know that your shot is going in."
McDonald's comments sounded very similar to what Green had told him just moments before.
"He's been in this program and he's a sharpshooter in the league, so getting his advice of being confident in your shot and being confident in what you do, we take heed of that," McDonald said of Green. "We're listening to him."
All that remains is to put those words into action against quality competition.

The 2 trainers jumping in the cage pushing the winner of the fight need a fine or suspension in my opinion. Running in like a pair of hooligans after the fight had ended. And don't use your excuse that his celebration was disrespectful he had every right to do it he did not touch your man after the fight had ended so what gives them the right to run in the cage and assault somebody because that's exactly what you did which will be shown on TV. Great way to get mma to shred its bad image give the boys a medal.
Seems like there was a ton of shit surrounding this fight - I'm sure someone will shed some light on it.

Tech Stocks Undo the DamageBy
The technology-stock slump has been canceled. After losing 7.5 percent in the five weeks following March 5, the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 Index has rebounded to pull even with the broader stock market. They've both returned 4.3 percent on the year, with dividends included.
That's not to say the entire tech sector is trading frothily. While Facebook is now up 16.3 percent since Jan. 1, shares of Twitter have lost almost half their value, as have those of Groupon. Apple has climbed 11.3 percent, but Amazon has declined 22 percent.
The recovery has restored some paper wealth to the billionaires who control Silicon Valley companies. Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg added $908 million to his haul on Tuesday, bringing his total for the year to $3.8 billion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. Elon Musk, who heads Tesla Motors and SpaceX, is $2 billion richer.
While tech stocks were lagging in the public markets, valuations kept surging in private, as pre-IPO startups showed little difficulty in lining up huge funding rounds from venture capital firms. Uber Technologies Chief Executive Travis Kalanick told a California tech-conference audience on Wednesday that the amount his company is raising "could be record-breaking," referring to a widely reported $17 billion valuation.
Technology "was a sector that just fell out of favor over the last couple of weeks and got probably cheap enough that it looked like, on a relative value, to be the place to put money," Bill Schultz, the chief investment officer at McQueen Ball & Associates, told Bloomberg News.

Installing hardwood next to carpet
I will be installing hardwood in a room with three walls. The fourth side will be met with carpet. I plan to start at the far wall and work to where the carpet will be. How do I end the last row of planks? I was told that in a standard installation, with the wood meeting 4 walls, I would face nail the final row. But in this case, it will meet carpet and will not be covered with baseboard. Also, do I need to cut off the tongue from the last row?
If it meet carpet in an open doorway you should be able to use the nailgun all the way to the end.
I usually rip off the tongue of the final row and bevel the edge if its meeting carpet

Fresno, Calif.-- The Fresno State women's golf team heads to the desert again to compete in the Las Vegas Collegiate Showdown on Oct. 21-23.
The Bulldogs will play in the Las Vegas Collegiate Showdown after finishing in first at the Cowgirl Desert Intercollegiate last weekend.
"We are excited to get right back into competition," head coach Angie Cates-Moore said. "When you are playing well you want to keep it going and not take a break."
The 'Dogs led the field in birdies and pars last weekend and hope to bring that same level of game to this tournament.

Hubby took the family to IKEA and bought me some terrific storage for my yarn. He bought me this 8 cube bookcase, Expedit, and 8 Drona boxes to put in the shelf. It's hard to picture here because the shelf is laying horizontally on my closet shelf and I couldn't get it all in the shot. But each bin is VERY roomy and allowed me to organize by yarn weight. Some of the best features of adding the Drona boxes to the Expedit shelf are: 1.) My yarn storage doesn't look all messy 2.) Since the shelf sits up on top of a shelf in my closet, I can easily pull a bin down to look for a skein of yarn. (Without the boxes, I would have to try to sort through the yarn about a foot above my head.) 3.) They're roomy and cute!
Finally, hubby bought me a Vika Amon table (in white) to keep my ball winder and swift set up so that I don't have to drag them out everytime I want to wind a ball. When I get it put together, I'll take a pic.

Brass Cleaning Using Stainless Tumbling Media System-Review
Here are some photos of another batch of military 5.56 brass, this time once-fired Lake City brass. The Lake City brass is shown, prior to cleaning, in a zip-lock bag. The next two shots show this LC brass after cleaning. Pretty impressive even the primer pockets are clean.
After STM cleaning, this once-fired Lake City brass looks like new Lake City to me. Here are close-ups of the case mouths and the primer pockets.
Thoughts and Conclusion
Many of you will think the system is a little expensive ($230.00 for Thumlers Tumbler and Stainless Media), so it will be difficult to recoup your investment. That is not a good reason for using sub-par equipment in my opinion. I dont reload because of the money savings. You will never save money reloading anyway. By the time you factor in your time, equipment, and consumables, you should just buy new ammo.
AccurateShooter.com editors note: Have to disagree here. With some cartridges, factory ammo costs 2 to 3 times as much as handloads, IF match-grade ammo is available at all. Also, you need consider how the STM system would be amortized over thousands of reload cycles. The stainless pins last forever they never wear out. If you clean and reload 500 cases ten times, the cost of tumbling with the STM system (not counting electricity and water) is less than five cents per round.
I reload because it is fun. I like to make my own bullets. I like to tailor them to certain tasks and make them the best I can. Its like man-knitting for me. In the end, instead of a sweater, I have a big pile of shiny bullets I can go shoot. And I like shiny, clean brass. So from that perspective, the rotary tumbler filled with stainless media is a welcome addition to my bench. The Stainless Tumbling Media system is fantastic. Give it a try, you wont be disappointed!

Mercedes-Benz is currently debuting the A45 AMG at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show - a spunky little hatchback with a crazy amount of horsepower. Why should you care? Because it's a GAME-CHANGER, that's why…
It doesn't really look like a game-changer, granted. The old A-class was an ungainly, overly-tall thing (and nobody say 'elk test'…), so the styling of the new kid is indisputably a vast improvement; better, but frankly not overly exciting.
No, it's the power, pricing and versatility that make it so interesting. Under the bonnet is AMG's only current production four-cylinder engine – all their other engines are V8s or V12s – which (naturally) is hand-built by experts in a clean, white laboratory, and produces an obscene 355bhp. That's almost as much as a Ferrari 355, or an early Lamborghini Countach. It'll demolish 0-62mph in 4.6s, and it'll be a world-class handler thanks to its 4Matic AWD system and clever suspension.
Amazingly, M-B are also claiming an eyebrow-raising 40.9mpg and CO2 emissions of 161g/km. Best of all, it's going to cost £35k – the same as a VW Golf R with a few option boxes ticked. Or about ten grand less than the BMW 1M…
So, since the A45 has got motoring buffs' hearts all a-flutter, we thought it an appropriate moment to reminisce about some other hot hatches that, in their own unique ways, shifted everything up a level.
Vauxhall Chevette HS
The Chevette of the late-seventies and early-eighties was a useful, utilitarian little thing, its shovel-nose hiding frugal and sensible engines, while the rear hatch made it practical for shopping. A sensible staple of British life, then.
But the ingredients for fun were all present: lightweight, rear wheel-drive, playful handling – it was the ideal base for a rally car. So the Chevette HS was developed, shoehorning in a 2.3-litre 16v slant-four and Kadett GT/E suspension, and beefing up the looks with fibreglass aero addenda.
Suddenly your mum's shopping car had thoroughbred rally DNA. The HS was a proper rival to the dominant Escorts and, because of the nature of homologation regulations, Vauxhall had to sell at least 400 road-going versions.
These were brilliantly unrefined, and very naughty indeed. The ol' 'Shove-it' had infinitely more attitude when it was kicking dust in your face.
Lotus Sunbeam
While Vauxhall were rallying the HS, Talbot had called in Lotus to launch a counter-attack.
Again, their base was a mundane rear-drive hatchback, but the Lotus treatment saw the addition of a 2.2-litre 16v slant-four (you can see some parallels here, can't you?) and rally-spec underpinnings.
This was the era when Lotus were building the spaceship-like Esprit, so they brought a lot of kudos to the humble Sunbeam; the car had 150bhp too, which was almost as much as an Esprit.
Supercar power in a shopping car? The grocery run would never be the same again…
Ford Escort RS Cosworth
Yes, the Sierra Cosworth was the real game-changer, but we only have so much space here, so we're looking at its successor. Why? Because it took a rather cruddy hatchback and made it AWESOME.
The mkV Escort was very much built down to a price, but the Cosworth variant didn't actually have that much Escort in it – it was basically a trimmed-down Sierra chassis with a turbocharged 2.0-litre engine, 4WD, and a beefed-up Escort silhouette draped over the top.
The road car had 220bhp, which doesn't sound that incredible now, but back in 1992 that was as much as a Maserati Biturbo; it wasn't that far off Porsche 911 territory either. And it looked like an Escort. And it had A MASSIVE WHALETAIL.
Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.6 City
This differs to the other cars in the list, as it never actually existed. At least, not as a production car.
But back in the early-nineties, Schulz developed a hatchback version of the popular 190E saloon as a styling exercise, fitting the concept with a growly 2.6-litre engine. If this had made it to the showrooms, it would surely now be regarded as one of the greatest hot hatches of all time, no?
A compact, rear-drive Merc with the engine from the 190E 2.5-16 Cosworth? Now that would have been a game-changer…
Renault Clio V6
This is brilliantly silly. Back in 1980, Renault built a homologation version of the 5, with extremely wide arches and the engine mounted in the middle where the rear seats should be.
This grew, in time, into the terrifying, flame-spitting Group B Maxi Turbo, which was an absolute monster.
In 2001, Renault decided to reprise this lunacy with the Clio. They ripped out the rear seats and stuffed a 227bhp 3.0-litre V6 in there, whilst widening the whole car to cartoonish proportions.
Given the Clio's short wheelbase, making it wider effectively made its footprint a small square, meaning it was somewhat tricky to drive. It was fine in a straight line in the dry – anything else could see you launched into snap oversteer with no warning, finding yourself parked backwards in a hedge and wondering how you got there, with the prospect of an uncomfortable conversation with your car insurance company to look forward to.
The Clio V6 has a reputation as a bit of a thug, but it's also a proper hero's car. If you can drive one properly, you are somebody to be respected. The Clio V6 put the challenge back into hot hatches.
Renault Megane R26.R
Another Renault, and a world apart from the Clio V6. The Mégane R26.R is basically a Porsche 996 GT3 RS in hot hatch form; indeed, place an R26.R and a GT3 RS side-by-side and you'd start to wonder whether they were tweaked by the same people…
Based on the extravagantly-named Renaultsport Mégane 230 F1 Team R26 (a wonderful, perfectly balanced hot hatch in its own right), the R26.R has very little interior trim, a huge, colourful rollcage where the rear seats should be, polycarbonate windows, a carbon-fibre bonnet, carbon-fibre bucket seats, six-point harnesses and an ultra-thin titanium exhaust. Anything deemed unnecessary in the quest for thrust was ditched; that includes all airbags (aside from the driver's), climate control, stereo, fog lights, rear wiper, and most of the soundproofing.
It had stiff, uncompromising suspension, aggressive brakes, a widened track and sticky track-day tyres. In one fell swoop, the script for the hot hatch was rewritten: this was a car built purely to go fast, and to be as much fun as possible while doing so.
You'll be able to be sensible and silly all at once in the A45 AMG. Will it live in the pantheon of all-time great hot hatches? We reckon so. And given AMG's enthusiasm for reeling out ever-more-extreme Black Series models, it looks like Mercedes-Benz are just getting started with this one…

2a or 2b? Very dry/frizzy hair too!
2 Attachment(s)
Hullo everyone!
I think my hair is a 2A but I'm not sure because sometimes the hair on the sides of my head look like a 2B. What do you guys think? Please check the first attached thumbnail~
Although... the back of my hair is extremely damaged and dry and frizzy! Aurgh. I'm not sure what to do about it. Does anyone have some tips for me? Anything would help, thanks. :)
Please check the second attached thumbnail~
Next time, could you please use the regular font size? It's really hard to read.
I'm no good with typing, I'll leave that for others. Are you CG?
I think your hair is more like a 2a because it has more of that S wave. Your hair is really pretty to.
I love your hair. Unfortunately i can't help you because I'm wondering the same thing about mine lol. Are you cg?
Love the length and cut. It's so pretty, and you are too! :)
I can't help you with curl type, but i do agree that it looks a tiny bit dry. Do you avoid sulfate shampoos? I'd try co-washing as much as possible, and using a rich leave-in conditioner and/or doing some deep treatments, if you don't already.
Again, gorgeous hair. My dream length! :)
I'd say a 2a, but with the proper care and products it looks like it could be 2b. Definitely try to get more moisture into your hair, that should help with the dizziness and dryness at the ends. Is your hair coarse? Coarse hair tends to need more moisture and less protein. Regardless, your hair is gorgeous!

St. George • A 48-year-old Washington, Utah, woman could spend the rest of her life in prison after being sentenced for commandeering a police car at gunpoint in November.
The Spectrum reports Jo Ann Boone was sentenced to a maximum of life in prison Thursday, two days after she was ordered to a 15-year term in federal prison on charges stemming from the same incident.
Boone's hands were cuffed behind her back when she was taken to the Washington County Jail on Nov. 19. Police say she pulled a handgun from her pants as the officer was letting her out of the back seat.
Authorities say she was able to get her cuffed hands in front of her and take the police car on a high-speed chase before her tires were deflated.


text: Sounds like you definitely have an issue. I've shot critters in their holes before, and both of my AR's cycled just fine. I'd try firing it straight down (safely, of course) and see if it cycles. If it doesn't, I'd work my way through the gas system replacing parts until you find the issue.

Revolutionary Guard Commander: "Free Elections" and the New Sedition?
Commander Yadollah Javani, one of the most vocal members of the Revolutionary Guards and a close ally of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has written the lead article in the Guards' weekly newspaper, Sobh-e Sadegh, by the name of "Is the Slogan of 'Free Election' the Code of Another Sedition?"
The article is alluding to statements made by a number of reformist politicians, but also moderate figures such as former President Ayatollah Ali Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani and even incumbent President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, in which they have called on people to be vigilant in order to ensure that a "free election" is held for the Islamic Republic's presidency this summer.
The suggestion that the election will not be "free" was very quickly rebutted by Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, as well as numerous other conservative political figures, and deemed an effort on the part of hostile elements to instil doubt among the populace with respect to the future election's fairness and trustworthiness.
Below I have provided a translation of some of the more noteworthy excepts of Javani's essay.
"In 2009 the biggest and most complex conspiracy against the Islamic Revolution and the established religious regime in Iran took place. In this complicated conspiracy, alongside global arrogance under American leadership and the anti-revolutionary movement, forces with a revolutionary past and [once] possessing immense responsibilities in the Islamic regime, had active participation [in this conspiracy]. This conspiracy entered the country into the stage of sedition. The approaches of the movement claiming to be Reformist, in pursuit of political power and adopting a strategy for obtaining executive power in the 2009 election, at any price and [thought] permissible the use of any possible means, tool, and method. The adoption of the same Machiavellian and diabolical politics by some reformists, that sided with foreign enemies and total anti-revolutionaries inside and outside the country … Now that we are on the verge of the 11th presidential election, is it possible in the course of this election (before, during and after the election) another conspiracy and sedition will occur?"
"If in the 2009 election the reformists with the slogans, "the necessity for protection of votes" and the formation of "the committee for the protection of votes," and ultimately the slogan of "fraud" and the claim of fraud in the election and the manipulation of votes, brought about that great sedition. Is it possible that the slogan of "free election" that now with the space of five months till the election, is proclaimed by some of the domestic political spectrum, accompanied by foreign anti-revolutionaries, is the beginning of a road that will result in another sedition in the 2013 election?"
Javani then explicitly cites the comments of Ayatollah Hashemi Rafsanjani preceding the 2009 presidential election in which the latter warned against the manipulation of people's votes and frontally attacks Rafsanjani, accusing him of preparing the ground for the "great lie" and allegation of electoral fraud. If you recall one of the first and most notable slogans chanted by Mousavi and Karroubi supporters was "Where is My Vote?"
He goes on, "the repetition of the same kind of views with respect to the election and the creation of suspicion regarding its health, was the introduction for the scenario of fraud and expressing that great lie and street campaigns that damaged the security of the country and the credibility of the Islamic regime."
"Now in the space of the remaining 5 months to the election, a wave both inside and outside the country in a calculated way has been started by the groups, and they have emphasized the word, 'free election' and repeat it! When the election in Iran is free in the framework of the law and is healthy, why do a number both inside and outside, repeat 'the free nature of the election' in the form of a slogan? Does the regime want to hold an unfree election?"
Javani then goes on to name and cite the comments of several prominent members of the Islamic Republic elite, who have expressed their fears over whether June's electoral race will be fair. These include former president Mohammad Khatami, former Interior Minister Abdolvahab Mousavi Lari, the head of the Reformist-leaning clerical association, the Association of Combatant Clerics, Ali Akbar Mousavi Khoeiniha, and even Presdient Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. The son of the deposed Shah, Reza Pahlavi, also features on the list.
It's hard to lose sight of the irony of the fact that while Ahmadinejad insisted his own re-election in 2009 was free and fair, a claim disputed by many, he has more recently implied that the next presidential election may well fail to be such. Meanwhile, Supreme Leader Khamenei, and his allies in the Revolutionary Guards, are keen to insist that any suggestion that the election could fail to be anything other than free and fair, is preposterous and another 'conspiracy' in the making.

Supreme Leader Denies Iran's Culpability for Syrian Bloodshed
Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei told participants at an event titled "Professors of the Universities of the Islamic World and the Islamic Awakening" that, "We don't agree with a human being's nose being bloodied and it pains us, [but] that person who has dragged Syria into civil war and fratricide is culpable."
Khamenei added, "In the case of Bahrain, we are faced with the silence of the Islamic world."
Deputy Foreign Minister for Consulate Affairs Hassan Ghashghavi has denied that Iran's consulate in Herat, Afghanistan, has been closed. The consulate had been attacked by some 200 Afghan citizens as a result of the alleged killing of 13 Afghan nationals by Iranian security forces while they were attempting to cross the border into Iran.
Khamenei Warning Temporarily Halts Ahmadinejad's Critics
Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, in a meeting this morning with members of Iran's Basij paramilitary force remarked on a number of important issues relating to his previous calls for unity and cooperation among the various branches of government that have been at odds in recent weeks. Of particular note was the fiery exchange of letters between President Mahmud Ahmadinejad and Judiciary Chief Sadeq Larijani over the former's desire to visit Evin prison. In the aftermath of that exchange, Khamenei stepped in and in unprecedented fashion said that those who aired their differences publicly before the presidential election scheduled for June 2013 were perpetrating "treason." In the aftermath of this speech, the three heads of the respective branches, Ali Larijani, the speaker of the Majles, Sadeq Larijani and Ahmadinejad wrote to the Supreme Leader stating that they would abide by his order.
Nevertheless, Ahmadinejad's critics in the Majles had petitioned for his being summoned to answer questions in the aftermath of the collapse of the Iranian currency, the rial. The requisite number of signatures were gathered and it seemed that imminently the president would become the first Iranian president to be summoned to answer questions before the Majles for the second time in a single term. As the date of the president's appearance was to be scheduled in the coming week, Khamenei has stepped in and expressed his opposition to the proposal, again stressing it to be contrary to unity in the face of unparalleled Western pressure against the Islamic Republic.
Ahmadinejad Replies to Khamenei on Presidential Power
President Ahmadinejad yesterday wrote a letter to Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, saying "he is sure that [the Supreme Leader] disagrees with the President's powers being tampered with". The letter followed those of Majles Speaker, Ali Larijani, and Judiciary Chief, Sadeq Larijani, pledging to abide by Khamenei's order to refrain from publicly airing the differences between the heads of the respective branches of government. Ahmadinejad's letter has already been depicted as audacious, particularly when compared with the subdued and compliant tone of Ali and Sadeq Larijani's letters to the Supreme Leader.
Iran Envoy Lauds Obama, Says Tehran Won't Bargain Until Ahmadinejad Exits
Mohammad Sadeq Kharazi, who served twice as Iran's deputy foreign minister and as its ambassador to Paris and the UN, and who is also known to be close to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei, has discounted the prospect of negotiations with the United States until after the June 2013 presidential election, when President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad leaves office. Kharazi was also reported to have been highly involved in Iran's so-called offer of a "grand bargain" to the United States via the Swiss embassy in 2003, which was dismissed by the administration of George W. Bush.
Kharazi made his comments at the 19th meeting of "Iranian Diplomacy."
His speech reproduced on his website, Iran Diplomacy, makes interesting reading, in particular his significant praise for US President Barack Obama and his administration. Continue reading
Supreme Leader's Representative to the Revolutionary Guards' Interview with Reformist daily
Ali Saedi, the Supreme Leader's representative in the Revolutionary Guards, in an exclusive interview with the Reformist daily Etemaad has said of the President, "we didn't have occult foreknowledge to know what is going through the mind of Mr. Ahmadinejad and in the future what he will want to do ". The interview is fairly long, but several key comments are highlighted.
"Incidentally, I told Ahmadinejad his problem to his face. I told him you could have become an historic hero of the nation of Iran, but unfortunately it didn't happen. It doesn't get any worse than you turning all the people who were your supporters into your opponents".
Is Fars News Misrepresenting China's statements?
Fars News covers China's Foreign Affairs Spokesman, Hong Lei's comments and criticism of the lastest push by the EU to increase sanctions against Iran.
Fars News, which is close to the Revolutionary Guards, claims in its headline that Hong Lei dubbed the sanctions "illegal" on the basis of a Reuters report from earlier today. However nowhere in the Reuters report does the Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesman call the sanctions "illegal". He states they pose an obstacle to solving the nuclear stand off, but does not call them "illegal".
Fars News and a number of other Iranian news sites were caught out last month plagiarising a fake poll from the U.S. based satirical news site, The Onion.
Khamenei visits Northern Khorasan
Domestic Affairs
Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, made an official visit to northern Khorasan and in a meeting with regional clergymen stressed the pivotal role of the clerical institution and its institutions of learning, calling them "the soldiers of the regime; nowhere can they imagine themselves separate from the regime".
The comments were interesting insofar as the growing power of the military and Revolutionary Guards at the expense of the clergy has long been subject to speculation by Iran watchers and analysts.
The Iranian theocracy's increasingly bold attempts to challenge the quietist clergy in Iraq and elsewhere might also be taken into consideration. Khamenei went as far as to invoke the authority of Shi'ism's Grand Ayatollahs or Sources of Emulation, stating that "they reckon weakening of the regime absolutely religiously forbidden (haram)."
Regarding the mounting pressure on Iran as a result of punitive sanctions over its nuclear programme Khamenei stated, "Today like the war between groups in the Prophet's time, all the enemies of the nation of Iran at the regional and international level have joined hands, to break the resistance and steadfastness of this nation. The believers [in the Prophet's time] did not give in to fear and doubt and the nation of Iran in the struggle to increase its power and ability has also stood against pressures".
Motahhari praises Rafsanjani, demands release of opposition figures
The maverick conservative politician, Ali Motahhari, in an interview with Mashreq has made a number of important comments relating to the Iranian political scene as he sees it. First he said he accepts the idea of a "deviant current" in the Iranian political establishment and added that he sees Esfandiar Rahim Mashaei, President Ahmadinejad's chief of staff at its helm. Motahhari sees Ahmadinejad as complicit and under the sway of Mashaei. Also of note was his belief that the Ahmadinejad administration has been soft on enforcing mandatory veiling, arguing that it has given the impression that there is a disagreement within the ruling establishment over the policy of mandatory veiling.
On the 2009 post-election unrest, known in official circles as "the sedition", Motahhari said "I believe we all caused the sedition together. I don't believe at all in a domestic sedition. I don't believe in a pre-planned sedition; perhaps a number of actions by both sides created the sedition…It wasn't like a coherent group were after the regime's overthrow. On the whole, except for groups like Pezhvak and the Hypocrites [MEK], we don't have groups pursuing the overthrow [of the regime]…In 2009 the political scene was cloudy and many couldn't identify which side was right…In any case, I don't believe in domestic seditionist[s]. The Leader [i.e. Khamenei] also one time said "when we say "leaders of the sedition", we don't mean individuals inside [the political establishment]". I don't believe someone from the outset came with such an intention. I say perhaps we pushed them in the direction of enmity with the regime…In my opinion, the most dangerous threat creating discord…is that we lose our pure intent and worshipping power takes the place of God."

Catera - Mustang Engine Swap, Possible?
Dont tell me to buy a new car.
I want this done.
Can it be done?
I wanna know what id need to change, i can get the money. I know its gonna be pricy and you may say its not worth it.
i want something unique, my catera is gonna be a sleeper.
i was thinking about the LS1 but i havent found any support, id see all these threads but nobody here has actually done it.
Now the Mustang-Catera engine sizes arent a huge difference. From what i know.
Tell me what i need to know =P
Re: Catera - Mustang Engine Swap, Possible?
How do you plan on getting it past the EPA so you can drive it. About a million bucks would be a good start.Don't mess with Binky Bear!
Re: Catera - Mustang Engine Swap, Possible?
your going to put a Ford engine into a GM car...
there have been LS swaps do a search and this is a Lightenfinger Catera which was built and parts exist for it, as well as the Holden V8
Re: Catera - Mustang Engine Swap, Possible?
The Mustangs V6 is about the same size.
Rear Wheel Drive
I dont see why it couldent be done.
Its not like a big upgrade to a V8
Re: Catera - Mustang Engine Swap, Possible?
thats even worse
a V8 swap in some twisted way is at least worth while
V6 is pointless....
Re: Catera - Mustang Engine Swap, Possible?
The 3.8 on the stang has much more support and reliability.
the 3.0 in the catera is a peice of shit with a ****ing shitload of problems.
that and its a cadillac engine which is alot priceyer to fix.
and the fact that this car basically has no ****ing support from cadillac whatsoever.
AND the stang engine is highly modify-able with kits already pre-made.
Re: Catera - Mustang Engine Swap, Possible?
1 thats not a Cadillac engine try Opel....
2 you bought hat "pos" so whats that go to say about your logic...
3 the Catera weighs ALOT more than a Mustang so idc how you look at it, less you dump some small block V8 in there your NEVER going to haul
i tried to take this seriously but right now your attempts to bastardize your car have reached an all time high, youll still be slow no matter what V6 you dump in there...
Re: Catera - Mustang Engine Swap, Possible?
Re: Catera - Mustang Engine Swap, Possible?
A few others are recreating the Opel Omega V8 using parts from Lingenfelter Performance. That car was in the final stages of preproduction before GM nixed it due to problems with the cooling system's ability to keep the engine from overheating at Autobahn speeds. (Ridiculous. GM has been cooling that small block V8 for 50 years. They couldn't find a solution?) These are not kits and don't come with instructions. There's a lot of fabricating and scrounging to do but the guys have bought the parts with the hope of making the Catera that Cadillac should have from the start.
The Omega and Catera are virtually twins. All the parts for the Omega V8 will fit into the Catera. Lingenfelter bought Opel's inventory of Omega V8 parts with the intention of building them for sale in the US but the plan was shelved when John died. He had already squeezed a 7.0liter/427 cubic inch Corvette C5R engine into a Catera now named the Catera V by her owner. He used Holden Commodore drivetrain parts and beefed them up to handle the 500 HP and 500 ft/lb of torque. This is the ultimate sleeper Catera. Take a look.

Re: Catera - Mustang Engine Swap, Possible?
I am all for swapping motors into what ever you want.
Here is the first thing you need to look into.
quad4rods dot com
Why you ask? I pioneered a great deal in the Isuzu world. I found how to swap all sorts of motors into Isuzu cars (GEO Storms). One of the many things I have figured out was the compatability of various engines that bolt up to my transmission.
One of those being the 3.0 54*. (along with 2.3/2.4/ECOtec/Saab 2.0t/2.3t and a slew of other odd motors in the GM family.)
Anyway, the link above is to a place that makes adapters for the Quad 4 motor, and the ECOtec which depending on the specific engine, has your bolt pattern. They make adapters to bolt the engines to T5 and other transmissions.
What this means to you, is that you can use the adapter to bolt your stock trans to a Ford motor. How you would space the flywheel/flex plate is up to you.
Now while the V8 302/5.0 swap sounds fun, the reality is it will involve quite a bit of work to make all your electrical system to play nice. you will lose many things like the various suspension electronics, ABS, and who knows what else. Most asspects can be overcome through the use of your own relays and wiring for fuel pumps (which will be grossly over powerful for a carby), and other things like your needed new custom dash.
If you go with a full 5.0 HO swap with fuel injection, you are in for a nasty bit of nightmare wiring.
Good luck.
