250 Integrated head
I have a 250 with an integrated head in my truck at the moment and was wondering about the horse power it made. Well i did a search at Inliners International and found out that because they were trying to make the engine more efficient they gave it a different cam that gave it 15 more horse power over a regular headed stock cammed engine. So my question is how much horse power would this engine make with the higher horse power cam and a regular head. I would think it would make more because the regular head is less restricted and has more potential to be ported and put on headers and intake. Can anybody validate this information? The engine is a 76 truck engine by the way.
250 heads
Im not sure what brand engine you are talking about, but as far as the intigrated head producing more power than the old head, its highly possible and feasable.
You mentioned that they use a larger cam with the newer head design. That may well explain the increase in HP.
As for restriction, Im not sure I follow you on that. Are the port runners smaller? Have more or less bends in them? Smaller valves?
Some points to consider:
1. Just because an engine has smaller valves and or runners, doesnt necessarily mean its more restricted. For instance, if the runner design has less of a bend to it, than the stock runners, IE where the runner makes a drastic turn to go to the port, the flow is far more restricted than it would be with far less curvature. A rule of thumb is that if a tube has a bend in it with smaller than a 12" radius, then that bend will cut the flow in half, compared to a straight tube. Most heads have a turn radius of less than 3 inches on a conventional head, so if the intigrated head has any kind of a larger radius than does the conventional head, all else being equal, it will flow better.
Smaller runners are a big boon to low RPM engines as they inhance the velocity of the fuel/air mixture, thereby assuring a better vaporization maintainance of the fuel. This also will insure better filling of the cylinder at low RPM. Even if it has nominally smaller valves, if you have the better port design, then the valve size is negated, in comparison to the valves in the early head.
2. If the intigrated intake has smoother bends in the runners than does the bolt on older style, then if all else is equal, the intigrated intake will flow better than the old intake design.
3. In referance to the bends in a tube, an 1 1/2" straight tube will flow as much as a 3" tube, if the 3" inch tube has a 90 degree bend with a radius under 6". At least thats what I was told in science class, when we were discussing such issues.
While its not as simple to do, porting out or working out the runners on an intigrated intake isnt impossible. I refer back to the old Ford 144/170/200/250 I-6 used in Falcons, Comets, Mustangs, and Mavericks. Those heads could be made to flow extremely well, especially when modified for mulitple carbs.
Thats some good info, the engine im talking about is a Chevy 250, the not so good picture of the painted one is the one that i am running now.Here the exhaust manifold(which is the bottom of the intake manifold) is removed and you can see the rest of the intake is part of the head. The other picture is my other 250 with a non integrated head. The reasoning i have for saying that the engine is restricted on the integrated one is the the exhaust has to leave the combustion chamber go up through the valve,make a 90 degree turn,go straight for an inch,turn another 90 degrees down ward,then another 90 to the exhaust manifold itself the finally out to the exhaust. Where as on the non integrated head it goes up through the valve makes a 90 out to the manifold, followed by another and to the pipe . Not to mention the since the exhaust manifold is the bottom of the intake,carbon builds up from where fuel hits the hot exhaust before it even goes into the combustion chamber. I know the intake and exhaust on the non itegrated head are pretty close to but not on the way they are on the integrated. Im not to concerned with the horse power the engine is making now because I dont care. Im just wondering if there would be any advantage to running the regular head over the nonintegrated that i would really notice.
The biggest disadvantage with the integrated head is that they are almost all cracked by now. They had a terrible scrap rate and I don't recall the last time I saw one that wasn't cracked.
The other disadvantage is they are so dang HEAVY.
There are also issues with the exhaust manifold.
They are not a good choice for a performance build cause almost nobody (or maybe nobody by now) makes headers for them.
intigrated head redux
Based on what both Rust Trucker and Tom wrote, I would opt for the early head myself, since the old style head will fit.
I would surmise that given the later model upgraded cam, you may well see some extra gains by doing nothing more than going to the older head, intake, and exhaust, over what you have now. Maybe even as much as 5-10 HP at peak RPM,
There are some good aftermarket goodies out there available for your 250, as well, and if you did nothing else to the engine, a good set of headers and free flowing exhaust would definately be a big plus.
Maybe I had the last uncracked integrated head -horrible looking design, and gutless, but reasonable fuel economy and even better dieseling (the super high-tech 1 barrel carb wasn't quite right) -the thing would run-on for more than half a minute a lot of the time.
Because the prospect of a 1-barrel carb feeding 6 cylinders was so horrible (all the fuel going down one or two cylinders and the air going down the rest), I figured it would be neat to try and build a sheet-metal two-carb intake for a non integrated head. 'Sold the truck for $700 Cdn to fix my other truck instead...
Maybe i have your uncracked head now! Anyway if I were to put tha non inegrated head on my engine and assuming that its true that the integrated headed engines have 15 morehorse power. I could expect 20-25 horsepower from an afternoon and 30 dollars worth of sparkplugs and gaskets????? If thats true then thats pretty sweet.
I can't give any exact numbers on chevy heads,but on the ford sixes the combustion chambers varied from year to year,as well as different style heads,some of the integral head/intakes had smaller chambers and higher compression.
You might want to check the cc's of the heads before making a decision,if you put on a head with bigger chambers and change nothing else,you may lose compression and power.
Some ford guys I know cut into the "log" and welded flanges to accept 2 more carbs and run 3 singles,some of those intakes were capable of delivering all the air that those heads could flow anyway.
Ive already checked the head numbers and they are the same cc
Well I was at the junkyard today helping my brother get parts for his 68 and i found a 81-84 Chevy with a 250 that had the integrated head BUT it had a dual outlet factory exhaust manifold and a progressive 2 barrel carbureator. The head is uncracked and i can have it for free so i think ill try it out when i get the truck on the road. any thoughts or experiences with this setup???
I have a great running intigrated head engine. I was in a 79 c20 that I scrapped out. It has the 2 exhaust outlets and a 2 barrel carb on it. It had been setting for some time, but the engine was very clean and looked as tho it had a new distributor put in it. I bought it for the utility bed on the truck. We hooked it to a gas can, it fired right up and ran great. Cruzed it around out on the road. I have since put the 3/4 ton running gear into my 1965 c10. Front bolts right in with like 2 holes to drill. The rear end with in with only new axle mounts. I did have trouble locating the motor mounts in even with the 79 mounts and brackets. I have never owned a 6 cylinder in anything including any of my old c10 trucks. So I have no idea if the old 6 mounting brackets are diffy. It is very hard to find info on this integrated head engine. But my runs like a top. I did put a turbo 400 behind it. But I was also, like others i see, wondering what upgrades can be done to it. Just any old Chevy head with the same valve size and chamber area will fit on it?
I'll be reading more posts thru out here as I saw a lot more info on this one of a kind motor.
Thanks guys

Reasonable Motorbike Helmets
For lots of people, bikes are a thrilling type of go back and forth and game. Then again, if right kind protection measures don't seem to be noticed, driving a motorbike is usually a bad undertaking. Motorbike fatalities have greater by way of 127% during the last ten years. Maximum states have some form of regulations governing helmet use when running a motorbike. The need of those regulations is supported by way of the information. Research display that 65% of motorcyclists killed weren't dressed in a helmet. Since a helmet is an very important a part of street protection, and its utilization mandated in a rising choice of states, it will be significant for riders to understand what to search for when buying top of the range, reasonable motorbike helmets.
There are lots of just right, but slightly priced motorbike helmets available on the market. If an affordable helmet meets sure qualifications, a rider can also be confident that it carry out very best when it's wanted maximum. Most significantly, the helmet will have to be D.O.T, or Division of Transportation, qualified. The Division of Transportation has an overly particular set of minimal protection requirements that any helmet they certify will have to meet. Amongst those, the helmet will have to supply substantive coverage from critical damage. Along with coverage from cataclysmic hurt, helmets supply a myriad of advantages that may strengthen any rider's revel in. But even so decreasing wind noise and protective the rider from bugs, a helmet can in reality building up center of attention whilst driving.
There are options that a first-rate helmet will have to have, if it is pricey or now not. Just right motorbike helmets are made with an expanded polystyrene foam lining within the helmet. Smartly-made helmets will even have compatibility very easily, now not fall off when they're wanted maximum, and supply really extensive facial protection. Many sellers lift helmets that meet those qualifications. Then again, one issue could also be inflating the cost on what will have to be, expertly made, reasonable motorbike helmets.
The helmet's look, colour, end, and graphics are the most important a part of the buying procedure. For a rider, discovering a helmet that speaks to their person character is significant. Then again, the extra elaborate designs can building up the cost considerably. Maximum skilled riders want florescent or forged colours which are simply visual. Foregoing fancy helmet designs would possibly lower the cost of an ideal helmet and make it reasonably priced.
Touring the open street on a motorbike gives extraordinary joys. Whilst helmets have been historically seen as a hindrance to the liberty of the street, now maximum motorcyclists believe them indispensable lifesavers. Riders know that discovering reasonable motorbike helmets, which meet the absolute best requirements, will most effective beef up their driving revel in.
Jonathan rides bikes and has owned maximum each and every logo. A motorbike helmet has stored my lifestyles greater than as soon as. Motorbike helmets have progressed very much over the 40 years I've use them. It's not that i am choosy concerning the taste helmet I put on. Make a selection one, part helmets, complete face helmets, Harley helmets, complete face motorbike helmet, carbon fiber helmets, three/four helmets, Daytona helmets, Harley helmet, part motorbike helmets, part motorbike helmet, cut price helmet, HCI helmets, Shorty helmets. Then again, someday there's a distinction in reasonable motorbike helmets and cut price motorbike helmets. Reasonable helmets some occasions are constructed poorly the place cut price motorbike helmets are discounted from the bottom worth and may well be top of high quality.

those high ceilings make it feel so roomy : ) As long as you and Dh are in accord with each other on it. You just have to get into good routines, or stay in them if you already are- like teach the kids- take out one thing to play with , then put it away and then take out something else... i/m working on this with mine. Start decluttering now, as if you ARE moving to that place...
Looks roomy enough. I'm just thinking about safety for the LO, especially w/the stairs and top level.
♥ blogger astrologer mom to three cool kiddos, and trying to figure out this divorce thing-- Blossom and Glow ♥
I think it is too small because it is only one bedroom.
We live in a one bedroom apartment with a 3.5yo and a 16mo (and me and my dh). I would not want to be in this situation with one more child. I would need another bedroom. I say consider carefully, especially if you are buying. One thing to consider is closet space. We all share one teeny tiny closet and one dresser, and as the boys get physically larger, it is getting cramped with all of the clothing. We have two beds in our bedroom, and it takes up almost the whole room.
As for us, we enjoyed one-bedroom living, but we will be moving into a two-bedroom apartment within the year.
Sabrina , mom to 4 fab kids!
It is so beautiful! Is it to buy or rent? If you are buying you could do a lot with building in storage, but renting would make that more difficult.
I think the wood floors and high ceilings + three children would make that a very loud space!
Is there a playground or outdoor area for the children?
I'm thinking go for it!
The truest answer to violence is love. The truest answer to death is life. The only prevention for violence is for the heart to have no violence within it. We cannot prevent evil through any system devised by mankind. But we can grapple with evil and defeat it, but only with love—real love.
Just wanted to weigh in and say we were a one-bedroom family with four kids until they were 3, 4, 7, and 8. At that point the 7 and 8 year olds moved into their own room. We used the bedroom only for sleeping and clothes/linen storage, not playing. It's a pretty small room and we fit a king, a queen, and twin bunks plus dressers (also there is a good-sized closet). I think the one-family-bedroom concept is very workable IF you are open to it.
I had to be very strict at the kids' bedtime, that everyone must be quiet so the others can go to sleep. I often sang or told stories to all of them at once to help distract them so they wouldn't make noise or goof around. I had to lie with them until at least the littles were asleep (still do). But it worked well for us.
I didn't mind hearing them all breathe through the night, and if they were sick it was nice to be able to hear what was going on. I guess I'm probably in the minority, but I was kind of sad when the older two moved out. In your situation I would definitely consider using only one bedroom.
Another thing, my kids haven't always been thrilled by this but in our house (until the boys got their own room) all space was shared space. The kids never had their "own" space and coped fine without privacy; they could find their own corner or I could help create a hidey-hole if they needed space "alone." I think most people aren't used to living this way, but it's worked fine in our family. It helps to think outside the box. Good luck!
that is lovely but way to small. and no privacy. I would want at least two bedrooms with one closed off. cause sometimes you just need your space. the down stairs looks wonderful. the perfect size but the bedroom situation just doesn't cut it. that is a single bed and a small dresser. and that is it. My smallest bedroom is 9x9. there is room for a double bed and small dresser. that leaves about 24 inches of walking/playing/sitting space. from head to foot there is just enough room to get the closet door half open.
also i would be far more scared of the railing than the stairs. that railing would scare the crap out of me.
it is beautiful though.
here are some pictures to give you an idea how furniture fits. this room is slightly larger than the one in the condo.
the head of the bed is in one corner. the window is in the other corner. in the small amount of space that is left the closet door has to open and close. (those are fairly standard sized windows). that is a double sized bed on bottom.
this is one whole wall.that little bok shelf is actually one that is supposed to go over the toilet but our bathroom is too small. so it is about 5cm wider than a toilet.
this one shows another wall. the bed you are seeing there is twin/single sized.
this one give a feel for the amount of walkway she has. the dresser is on the left and the bed on the right.
We could fit 4 people in that room to sleep. but the rest of our house would be a disaster. clothes and toys everywhere. we could probably fit one king sized mattress in there. but nothing else. and we probably wouldn't be able to access the closet.
in the pictures of the condo I couldn't tell where the doors for the closet and bathroom were. that is something you need to consider when looking at usable space. Ava has to rearrange her room to open her closet door. (its a bean bag so it isn't a big deal but still.)
but since the place you are looking at is so small (no play room, small living room and kitchen) you have to keep in mind if it won't fit in the bedroom where is it going to fit.
I am a huge fan of small and would like to get to a smaller home but I tink that is really pushing it.
Moodymaximus, there are some *great* neighbourhoods in Ottawa for families. I grew up hanging around in Ottawa South, the Glebe, and the Market. I suggest learning about the neighbourhoods first, if you haven't already. Both of the condos that you link to had photos taken with fish-eye lenses, so keep that in mind - they will look smaller in real life, guaranteed. I would *never* consider living in a home with children without a bedroom that can be totally closed off - walls and door. In addition to sound issues, light issues would be a problem. It just doesn't seem practical IMO.

Voters say enough to negative campaigning
COACHELLA VALLEY, Calif - We are less than a week away from the primary election and local candidates are working overtime to try to earn your vote. However voters we talked with aren't too happy about the way they are going about it. Many complaining, this year's campaigns are too negative.
"I don't read them frankly, I really don't pay any attention to them," said Palm Springs voter Richard Lorence.
Headlines like, "Can you afford Manuel Perez?" and "3.5 million reasons to vote no on John Benoit," are defining local campaigns.
"It gets people's attention and it does change minds, we all hate to think that but it does," said Riverside County Supervisor John Benoit.
Benoit, who is running for re-election against Manuel Perez, says he tries to stay positive, but can't let an attack go un answered.
"You can't stay in the game and just take it and hope to win on the good will of people," said Benoit.
Benoit says voters need to be informed.
"Actual votes and things that were done by my opponent in office that I think had a direct impact, I think it's fair to point those out but I do want to try to avoid when ever possible a personal attack," said Benoit.
Bonnie Garcia, running for the new state senate seat in district 28, wants voters to know what she calls "criminal behavior" from one of her opponents, Jeff Stone. She points to road rage incident where Stone, currently a county supervisor, flashed a fake badge to get another car to pull over. A Riverside County Sheriff's report confirms that did happen, but no charges were filed.
Stone apologized in this statement:
"In the incident last year, I had a driver yelling profanities at me and following my car for several miles. We have seen many road rage incidents that have ended up with someone hurt or killed. In my desperation I revealed my Supervisor identification and badge to the enraged driver to calm down the incident. While the driver and I each ultimately apologized to each other, I own the fact that showing the badge was not using good judgment even though the incident that could have become more serious was peacefully solved. I have returned my badge to the trophy cabinet where it will stay and humbly ask my constituents to forgive my lapse in judgment."
Stone goes on to state, "Ms. Garcia's attempt to exploit this incident for her own political purposes by filing a frivolous lawsuit is an abuse of the taxpayers."
Glenn Miller, who is also in that race, has stayed out of it saying this is not the way campaigns should be run.
"What are you going to do for us now, I think that's what people really need to get back to, how can we get back down to civility? How can we let the residents decide by what is important to them by answering the questions that are important to them?" said Miller.
In the Riverside District Attorney race, cell phone video has taken center stage. Incumbent Paul Zellerbach is now under investigation for using county property to put up campaign signs, a possible felony that his opponent Mike Hestrin wants voters to know about.
Voters we talked with say enough is enough.
"It doesn't work for me, I am just completely turned off when I see a real negative ad of any kind," said Lorence.
"We should just go on people's records and what they stand for not what somebody else did wrong that's how I feel," said Banning voter Don Forhane.
We connected Manuel Perez, Bonnie Garcia, and Bonnie Garcia, they were not available for an interview.

Peoplesdirt bites the dust

By Michae Kaiser, NCSA Executive Director
The Washington Post yesterday reported that the site has been shut down. Maryland's Attorney General Douglas F. Gansler used some creative pressure with advertisers and the website's hosting service to speed up the site's demise.
In the article, Sue Kanter, co-president of Walt Whitman High School's PTSA put it best, "We felt that it was vile, offensive, hateful and a very poor use of the Internet's possibilities."
Couldn't agree more.

Two weeks from today we move into our new house. We are leaving our washer and dryer behind and plan to purchase new ones once we get down there. I just have NO clue what to get. I know it doesn't make much of a difference, but we will be on a septic system and using well water. If we are ever blessed with another child, I would like to use cloth diapers. I've heard about half/half regarding whether front or top loaders are best for cloth dipes. I don't want to completely base our decision on that, though, b/c that may never happen (we've been TTC for 10.5 years). I'm leaning towards a front loader, but am still opened minded (we have a top loader atm). Otherwise it's just a family of 3 with minimal laundry usually, but we usually wash full loads.
What are the best, most reliable brands? What do you think would work best for our circumstances? I have experience using the Whirlpool Duet, and I like the steam version of it. We have a budget of about $1500 max for both a washer and dryer. Tell me the bad ones also, so I can avoid those. Any and all advice would be great, thanks!!

Nothing? Nobody owns a washing machine?

It has a sanitary cycle which has been useful. We wash our cloth diapers without issues (although not usually with the sanitary cycle). I don't know about well water but we have very hard water and I've found that borax solves that problem. You can stuff quite a bit into the washer, but I have found that the clothes don't really get clean that way.
We have the matching dryer too...stacked currently.
ETA: I just noticed your location...I actually bought my washer in Omaha. Then I trucked it out to California. Funny dat.
Thank you for taking the time to reply to my post! :) I appreciate it! That's funny that you bought it in Omaha. lol

We have a Miele, which if you get a washer and dryer, is definitely way out of your budget, but as far as energy efficiency, ability to clean and reliability, made it my top choice. We just didn't get a dryer and line dry all year round...if you did that, it would fit your budget and I highly recommend them!
I have a Bosch 500 Plus. I LOVE my Bosch appliances. Just a few things if you are considering a European made front loader, since you said you have a top loader, I think these are some things that most people are surprised by. The cycles are LONG. You will be waiting for the washer to finish to start your next load, not the dryer like with a typical top loader set. You may (I know this is true of Bosch, I don't know about other brands) lose the ability to set each individual function, like water temp, load size, regular/gentle, etc. The cycles are all preprogrammed so you pick, say, a "regular" cycle and you get the preprogrammed settings for that cycle. I have read in reviews that some people do not like not being able to select a customized cycle like you can do on a regular, American-style top loader. My washer senses the size of the load and automatically adds the right amount of water, so I have to adjust the detergent accordingly. I am not at all bothered by this and really all the controls are there, they are just sort of automatically grouped into one certain cycle. Just a few things you might consider in your search. My brother and his wife have a Fisher/Paykel set that they really like. But it breaks, a lot. The upside of that though, is they are very easy to repair. My brother (an electrician, so he does most of the repairs himself) has told me that it takes longer to get his tools out than to make the repair! Literally snap out the old part, snap in the new. They have 5 kids, so their machine gets LOTS of use. HTH!
Happy wife of T mom to L and M

This weekend my mom got out a cool toy that I had never seen before. It had a long, thin, flexible stick with a string on the end. At the end of the string was a feathery bird! When Mom waved it around, the bird flew through the kitchen. So I decided to hunt it. Trivet wasn't even interested; I couldn't believe it!
It took time and effort to catch the bird. It could fly high, and it was fast. I had to do a bunch of fancy jumps and twists in the air. Then it flew too close to the floor, and I pounced! Ha! I knocked it down with my two front paws, then I grabbed it in my mouth. Mom laughed at me when I marched down the hall with my tail up high and those feathers poking out of my mouth. What does she know? I caught a bird! Right there in the kitchen!
Mom tried to take the bird away, saying I'd wreck it. I made a growling sound like a big lion, and Mom seemed a little surprised. She wasn't as scared as she should have been. Somehow, she got the bird away from me. I was steamed. Then, I couldn't believe it, the bird started flying again! I was sure it was close to dead.
I started chasing the bird some more in the kitchen. Meanwhile, my stupid brother Trivet thought it would be funny to tackle me while I was watching the bird. I didn't even see him coming, the big jerk! I think our little wrestling match scared the bird, because I noticed it stopped flying around until we were done. Trivet did this a bunch of times while I was hunting. Sometimes he is just a big litterbox face, if you know what I mean.
Mom put the bird in the closet after a while, but she got it out again yesterday. It was still flying around in our kitchen. I could not believe it. Birds are dumb, I guess. So I hunted, in between wrestling with Trivet, who was still being a pain in the tail. Finally, I caught the bird! I used the same method that had worked for me before: pouncing on it with my front paws, then grabbing it in my teeth.
Well, no way was I letting Mom take away my prey again. I gave her another lion growl, then I headed for the bedroom, tail held high. She kept following me, which I found annoying, and she was still holding that flexible pole with the string. I took my prey under the bed to eat it, but Mom peeked under and tried to take it away. I growled some more and made my tail big and scary. Then Mom started pulling on the string, but I wouldn't let go. Then the string popped loose! Mom complained that I had broken the new toy, but then she went away and let me eat in peace.
After a while, I decided this bird was not good to eat, so I left the remains under the bed. Later I threw up on the carpet in the study. Feathers don't agree with me, I guess. In fact, they're just as icky as that half a mouse I ate a while back (and also threw up onto the carpet in the study). A cat just can't catch anything tasty around here. I ended up ordering room service.

There was nothing to dislike about Kareena's look at her book launch, she brought it home in her Tom Ford. The red lips and sleek hair finished out her look perfectly. Love.
Kareena Kapoor At Her Book The Style Diary Of A Diva Launch
Saw the same dress in Kim K.
I just have to ask, is it possible to ID her lipstick brand and shade?! Looks yummy, would love to get it! Thanks.
This is perfection! The Poppy lips are so Spring 2013!!!! Kareena Kapoor always bring her auro to whatever she wears. Love Love Love
too gorgeous for words
Exactly! She looks beyond stunning!
I am sorry.The belt reminds me of wwf wrestler belts. LOL
I was going to say the same! But atleast her makeup looks good. None of that terrible lower lid black eye liner and pasty pale skin tone!
Exactly – a wwf belt lol!Usually the black, gold, red combo is killer whether in western wear or Indian…even having subtle touches of these colors together looks nice, say a black dress with a tiny gold belt, or gold earrings and red lips you know the drift…but this look's not working for me. The wwf belt yes, but also her hair and pose – something's missing. Of course Kareena with that gorgeous complexion and attractive features does look pretty per usual, but methinks she was aiming for "fierce" here not just pretty!
killed it.
she looks spectacular.. I think lack of kajal and the sleek hair makes her look younger ..
That chunky gold belt looks like WWF medallion ! :D
Is she channeling Gwyneth Paltrow here? Its the same hair!
Wow! She looks stunning! And, that pwetty, pwetty, shiny, shiny rock on her ring finger is drool worthy too!
For once I have to disagree with you…
As much as she tried with the red lips and the hair done well, I have to say the dress looked far better on Kim Kardashian. Switching up the black belt for a gold was a very bad choice. It seem's as she has a gold plaque on her stomach.
Maybe good for the nfl but not good enough for a style diva !
There is a black belt version of this dress?
Ugggh that doesn't sound right does it? :D
@ Vaishali: Kareena changed nothing from the original dress. Even Kim K wore it with the gold belt
aah ur right… but the belt doesn't seem so flashy & over the top in Kim's pics ! Maybe it's just the bright lighting thats not working for Kareena
She looks too old for tht look to work…would hv suited a leaner Kareena
Too old really?? and leaner ? judgmental comment
Love the dress and the gold belt. Kareena looks fabulous!
She looks spectacular; gorgeous.
Wow, she looks amazing !! The lip colour does wonders in this look.
she doesn't need it, but that belt is great for keeping the tummy in! i would have liked the belt to have a slimmer rectangle than this wide oval shape.
she is hitting all the right notes!
If there were such a thing as a stomach protector, this belt would be it.
She looks hot!! Don't remember her looking this good since forever i think.
@ Radiya Ahmed: You could try Inglot shade 103 or The Mac Marilyn Monroe lipstick in Scarlet Ibiss for similar lips.
really appreciate it! <3
Am just worried how she would sit with that belt :P Just a thought.But nevertheless , she looks chic and sophisticated
Ah..yes, I remember this dress on Kim K But I have to say that I like it much better on Bebo. I felt that Kim K was too curvy for this particular dress but it looks fabulous on Kareena <3 <3
I dont like the bELT
It looks like the WWF Belt that winner gets
Maybe it's just me, but while she looks great in the dress, she seems to be wearing oddly-fitting strapless innerwear. Or maybe it's just the fit of the dress around the bust. It's not very obvious given that the dress is black but I am rather distracted by it all the same.
I read your comment, and now that's all where my attention is going :)
Exactly, I felt the same too.
+1. Also i am on the fence with the mix of two different shades of red. Normally it´s a fashion faux-pas, & i don´t quite like the results here. Otherwise, she def fared better than Kim K.
Yes! The inner wear was the only thing that is bothering me about this look. Everything else, I love!!
Absolutely beautiful. Not feeling the belt that much, but it doesn't stop her from looking stunning.
She looks amazing!!! Stunning, minimaistic yet makes enough of a statement.
P&P, do we have a photo of her in the dress showing the back? Really want to know if it's something interesting…
kudos to her on being able to wear that belt and not die. it's crazy heavy. also, those shoes are such a buzz kill for me. This look needed non platform shoes in my opinion.
She looks absolutely stellar here, no doubt.
I have a different issue with the whole deal. She's here 'cause she's written a book called "The Style Diary of a Bollywood Diva". Seriously?? Shouldn't the book contain just one chapter called "How to hire a stylist"?
I'm sorry but it bugs me that everything in this country has to be endorsed by an actor. And in this case, it's not even a good fit. I would never think of Kareena when it comes to style and fashion.
And Shobhaa De has published the book.. lol. Go figure.
She is looking old. Dress looks good not the belt. The hair are nicely done but make her face look more masculine..
She looks great, look at the other Indian actresses put up on this site, clueless of fashion.
Her make up is spot on. The belt though, is hideous. But I always sense that P & P are a bit too easy on Kareena's fashion faux pas :P
Don't like he belt an hair. Love the rest
any hints on the lip color plz plz loving it
She looks very sleek and sophisticated and much younger…only negative is the belt which looks fine from far far away but not up close.
apparently the belt weighs 8 kgs!!
totally worth it i think
She looks awesome. reminds me of paris hilton here.
pa.. the… tic… trying too hard… she's just not able to pull off the chic look she was going for… i cant put my finger on whats wrong ..just not her style i guess..
I loved her lip color.. but whats ith the belt..?? i dint like it

Sorry, didn't mean to strike a chord. Yeah, I guess the parking lot of a school in the south isn't representative of the country as a whole
. Lots of rich little brats in my class whose parents held their hands and catered to their every need (paying for the Ivy league undergrad, best MCAT prep available, mission trips to Africa, you name it, etc.). Seriously, it's pretty bad though.
Also, you're right. You can't categorize a person by what they drive. I drive a F10 only because my mom (coming from an E60) thought it was too much of a boat
. I took it over and she got herself a F30

X5 F15 (2014 - Current)
The all new F15 BMW X5 started production August 2013 as a 2014 model year. The new X5 arrives in sDrive35i (RWD), xDrive35i, xDrive50i and a diesel xDrive 35d.

First Drive: The BMW X5 xDrive30d and X5 xDrive50i
Last week was the US Press Launch of the next generation X5 and our first chance to get behind the wheel of the F15 chassis in both diesel and gasoline engines. BMW had two variants of the new X5 available to test drive the X5 xDrive30d and the X5 xDrive50i. In the United States market, the xDrive30d will be re-branded an xDrive35d so don't be confused when the production models launch this fall.
Before we get into specifics about how the two models drove, let me start by saying BMW has done a great job in terms of visual aesthetics with this evolutionary design. The new X5, from the first moment you see it, is a more modern design that builds on the previous generation. Like many newer BMWs, this model seems to look much better in person than it does in a set of photos. The character lines on the side profile and the integrated Air Breather are the most obvious changes if you placed this generation next to the previous E70 but every day consumers may struggle to see too big of a difference in passing.
Interior Design A Much Needed Upgrade
The most compelling argument for the new X5 may well be the improved interior design and BMW has done many things to up their game in this department. We were witness to both the Ivory White Interior Design Package in the xDrive30d as well as the Mocha Interior Design Package on the xDrive50i. The Ivory White featured an Atlas Grey leather dashboard with contrast stitching for the seats and dashboard. The Mocha Interior provided Black Nappa Leather, contrast stitching and Fineline Pure Wood. Out of the two, I would personally take the Mocha Interior all day long; it had a much more luxury presence in my eyes and seemed to set the right tone for the X5.
The BMW trend in interior design translates to the X5 with the introduction of the new iDrive screen that is slotted into the dashboard in a massive 10.2" size. The screen size is a great proportional fit to the dashboard and is vibrant and extremely responsive in the new iDrive-4.2 Navigation system with touchpad. After spending some time running through the menus and punching in some navigational information, I was thoroughly impressed with how far iDrive has come in this latest iteration. You can now input letters and numbers using the touchpad and even use pinch-to-zoom functionality on the interactive maps. The handwriting recognition seems to work well but I see most people still using voice commands to complete the process quicker. During my time as a passenger in our test drive, my only disappointment with this version of iDrive is the awkwardness of trying to use the writing recognition on the touchpad. If you are a lefty, this won't be a big issue but it made input virtually impossible for me.
X5 xDrive30d Test Drive
We started out our test drive in Vancouver by selecting the all new 3.0 liter six-cylinder TwinPower Turo diesel. This new diesel powered motor outputs 255 horsepower and a massive 413 lb-ft of torque delivered between 1,500 and 3,000 rpm and should send the X5 from 0-62 in roughly 6.9 seconds. When mated to the brilliant 8-speed automatic transmission, this xDrive30d is a match made in heaven for power delivery and amazing (hopefully) fuel economy.
Our test drive route for this X5 was heading out of Vancouver towards Whistler and the windy roads that surround it. Being in Vancouver to start, we had the wonderful opportunity to do what everyone will do in an X5 in the city enjoy the interior since you will not be going anywhere fast. Once out of the madness, we welcomed wide open two lane roads that spiraled into the beautifully landscaped distance. The first bit you notice in the diesel is the immense torque available to you immediately and just how useful that power is. The 400 plus lb-ft of torque is incredible for short distance passes or for many other handling maneuvers. It is almost hard to believe from the power delivery that this motor is only rated at 255 horsepower as you never find yourself asking where the power is. Although we did not have any ability to do any towing with the diesel, we would think the 30d would be an excellent choice over a 35i version for those who have this as a concern.
This X5 was equipped with the optionally available Dynamic Handling Package ($4,500) that provides both options 2VM (Dyamic Damper Control + rear axle stabilization) and 2VP (Dynamic Performance Control + Active Roll Stabalization) which may have contributed to the dual personality that the X5 seems to offer. While driving the X5 over rough roads, the suspension absorbs more of the bumps to offer a luxury experience but toughens up to plant the X5 solidly in the road for some aggressive driving around your favorite set of switchbacks. One of the biggest complaints will come from the adoption of Electric Power Steering (EPS) in the car which simply feels odd for those of us coming from a traditional hydraulic system. While you may be able to tell that the EPS is present, you should not have any complaints about how accurate the steering is. The X5 felt solid in the roads we threw at it and I was very impressed with the overall feedback in the system.
Throughout the test drive, we rotated through all the fancy modes that BMW includes with the driver experience button including ECO-PRO, Comfort, Sport and Sport+ and found that there were noticeable changes to the driving dynamics between the modes but that the X5 was surprising fun in everything but ECO-PRO where it is mostly suited for improving your fuel economy on a highway drive. We did not spend much time in ECO PRO (and were not light on the pedal either) but we still managed to get an impressive 27 mpg throughout our time with the xDrive30d. This is better than I would have expected with the power available and the tendency to enjoy all of that experience. Driving the X5 reasonably, I would expect a much better fuel economy into the 30s with official numbers to come from the EPA in the (hopefully) not too distant future.
X5 xDrive50i Test Drive
After spending the first half of the day with the diesel, we swapped cars at lunch and moved on to the xDrive50i that features a 4.4-liter V-8 with BMW TwinPower Tubo technology. This is an improved motor over the outgoing 50i and clocks in with 445 horsepower and 479 lb-ft of torque. The big V-8 motor puts down power quickly and sends the X5 from 0 to 62 in an estimated 4.9 seconds.
After sliding into the Mineral White X5 with Mocha Leather interior, we got all the bells and whistles adjusted and were off to see how this model compares to the diesel. Straight out of the gate on some non-highway roads, I was surprised just how similar that initial burst of power was between the diesel and this V-8. It was more a compliment to the diesel than a criticism of the 50i though. When the roads cleared up to allow a more spirited drive, the 50i really came to life. The large dose of horsepower combined with the gobs of torque sent the X5 rocketing into the distant roads. The power delivery was smooth and staggering from this model but that is what you would expect from a car that starts at roughly $12,00 more than the xDrive30d.
Just like the xDrive30d, this bigger brother was a lot of fun to drive and felt like it was a sports car wrapped in an SAV's body versus the models from competitors like Audi which feel the other way around. BMW once again has managed to make a big car feel like you are driving something much smaller. The only time you really notice the size is when you are in the city and even then you only notice it if you are looking for it like we were.
We had one more test for the X5 before we were done with it though; BMW had set up an off-road course for the X5 at the former Olympic Park outside of Vancouver. The course was not extreme by any means but was set up to test out the xDrive system over rough terrain, through muddy climbs and up/down steep inclines. (Side Note: If you want a similar experience, you should look into doing a Performance Center Delivery in South Carolina. ) We were led through the course with other X5s following a BMW driver who you followed through the obstacles so that you could see just how well xDrive performed. You could also bring up the new xDrive Status screen on the Control Screen while doing these procedures to see real time information on body roll and pitch as well as seeing what wheels are driving the X5 at the time. Take a look at some video from the system when the X5 was on the off-road course.
After completing the course, our previously beautiful Mineral White X5 was no longer so clean but it had earned a badge of courage for traversing the off road course with ease. While you (like most people) may not take their $70,000 X5 off road like this, it is great to know what the car is capable of handing if you need it to. You may even now be more likely to take a chance with your X5 camping out with your family though I would be weary of optioning up the wheels since your chances of putting a gash in your gorgeous 19s or 20s just went up remarkably.
Brining it Home
After a full day of test driving both of these X5 models, my conclusion is that BMW has done a great job taking a winning model and improving it for this next generation. Yes, the exterior design changes may be more conservative than expected but the overall package is greatly improved. The interior is a huge upgrade over the previous generation and that is going to translate into a lot of sales for this generation alone. I'm not sure what the current X5 owner will do but I would certainly suggest you at least go and give the F15 X5 a try when it arrives at your local dealer. Try to look past the feel of the EPS at that initial turn and make sure you get to experience the X5 on a set of twisty roads with the user experience switched between Comfort and Sport.
If I were in a buying position right now between these two models, I would choose the diesel for the practicality of the fuel economy combined with the impressive torque available immediately. The $12,000 premium for the V-8 is certainly warranted for certain buyers and I doubt you would be disappointed but I see a lot of value in the diesel model.
Hopefully you get a chance to test drive your own X5 in the coming months and can let us know what you think. If you have any questions about the cars, let me know and I'll do my best to answer them.

nice report!
How did this version of the X5 diesel compare with the previous? Big difference in 8 spd vs 6spd?
I've really been a huge fan of the 8 speed transmission since it was first introduced and it does not disappoint here. The 8-speed and diesel motor work extremely well together to do what you want or need at the time. Once you drive one of these with the 8-speed, I'm not sure how you could go back.

This seems to be the most positive of all the reviews so far.

But I want that 8-speed, the current AT is my only issue with my X5. End of lease is March so I can't wait.

2011 X5 35d Great SUV gone
I just noticed that you are calling the diesel X5 xDrive 30d, but I've read elsewhere that it will be labeled as the 35d. Was the one you drove labeled as a 30d?
I know it has the same engine as the Euro 30d, but I was assuming they'd adopt the same naming wierdness they applied to the 5er d.

Horizon Kinetics Third Quarter Commentary
Posted by: Holly LaFon (IP Logged)
Date: December 11, 2013 11:54AM
No one can accuse us, in these pages, of not being diligent in using our words, though we have been accused at times of using too many. So this review switches modalities somewhat, with more exhibits and fewer words. What won't switch are the themes, which are as relevant as ever: 1) the important and dysfunctional ways in which indexation is affecting security valuations, risk, and returns; and 2) the antithesis of indexation—active management and individual security selection, of which we, certainly, are practitioners.
Prices in the marketplace are made by the marginal, or last, buyers or sellers—it's not the 99%+ of Apple (AAPL)'s shareholders who determine its price, but the net buying or selling pressure of the fractional percent who are transacting on a given day. It's certainly not us: we've been accused of harboring really long-term holding periods—years and even decades. Granted, we inhabit one end of the spectrum. So, here are some recognizable benchmarks: the annual turnover rate for IBM (IBM)(the proportion of its outstanding shares traded each year) is about 83%; the figure for ExxonMobil (XOM) is 68%. The average mutual fund has 68% annual turnover.
Now, for two of the most popular exchange-traded funds (ETFs), the large-company SPDR S&P 500 Index ETF and the iShares Russell 2000 Index ETF, which is supposed to provide exposure to small company stocks, their annualized turnover, respectively, is 3,309% and 3,340%! Yes, I said 3,340%! The average holding period is measured in days.

Have a Tax Question? Ask a Tax Expert
Hi & thanks for using our service. I'll do my best to give you a complete & accurate answer. Please ask me to clarify anything you don't understand.
First, you should set up your own account with Ebay/Paypal in order to eliminate the problem going forward.
My own ebay acct got suspended and thats why i put it in his name
The simplest way to handle the problem, which will raise the least amount of issues, is for your brother to prepare a Schedule C which reports the gross on the 1099, noting that the amount was received as "a nominee for John H Jones (you) and then subtracting the same amount indicating "less amount paid to John H Jones 000-00-000 & reported by him on his 2012 1040".
That will allow the 1099 to be matched to his return and provide for the transfer to you for reporting of the business activity.
Is there some way to get your account reinstated?
I cant get it reinstated it banned for life. They have gotten really strict and i had too many negative feedbacks
So after he does that what will i need to put on my tax info showing that it was transfered to me?
and what document do i use?
You don't have to put anything on your tax return except to complete a Schedule C for your business; you will not need to mention anything about your brother on your return.
Ok will i need a 1099 of my own? Do you think this will work and give him no problems?
Your brother can issue a 1099 to you to transfer the responsibility for reporting the income to you.
So this should work with no problems?
This is the proper way to handle it & except for the aggravation of including it on his tax return, he should have no problem. If questioned, he would just need to explain the circumstances and why it is being handled this way.
Ok i appreciate this so much. I was worried he would be accountable. Is there a way i can come back and see this answer whenever i want?
Yes. You can just look it up under your username/account.
Ok thank you i will be leaving great feedback
Please remember to rate my answers in order that I can get credit for my work.
Thanks very much.

What we need to do in America is to enact some Sharia Law beliefs into our judicial system. That way, we will show that we're not all Islamophobes and that we are "accepting" of everyone of color and faith. That's the ticket.
Anyone that thinks that this is not what the direction of our country would go if those in control of our government are able to stay in control, they're idiots. I don't use the word "idiot" lightly and, to be honest, it is not the best word…except when true. What I've said is true.
Somehow, I think the majority of our citizens are seeing this, though. Thank goodness for that !!!

Cornmeal-Crusted Oyster and Black-Eyed Pea Salad with Jalapeno Dressing
This recipe for cornmeal-crusted oyster and black-eyed pea salad with jalapeno dressing is courtesy of chef Susan Spicer and can be found in her cookbook, "Crescent City Cooking."
- Servings: 4
Source: The Martha Stewart Show, December Fall 2007
- 1 cup dried black-eyed peas or 1 (14-ounce) can black-eyed peas
- 1/2 onion stuck with 2 cloves (for dried peas only)
- 1 dried bay leaf (for dried peas only)
- 1 red bell pepper, stemmed, seeded, and diced
- 4 scallions, finely sliced
- Jalapeno Dressing
- 1 small celery root, peeled and thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- Pinch of coarse salt
- Canola or peanut oil, for frying
- 1 pint (about 24) shucked oysters
- 1 cup Cornmeal Coating
- 10 ounces fresh spinach, cleaned and thinly sliced
If using dried peas, place them in a medium bowl and cover with water; let soak overnight. Drain peas, rinse, and transfer to a small saucepan with about 3 cups water, the onion, and bay leaf. Bring to a boil over high heat, immediately reduce heat to a simmer, and cook until peas are tender but not mushy, about 30 minutes. Drain and rinse. If using canned peas, drain and rinse.
Add peas to a small bowl, along with bell pepper and scallions, and mix together with 1/2 cup jalapeno dressing; let stand at least 5 minutes or up to 30 minutes at room temperature or up to 4 hours refrigerated.
Place celery root, lemon juice, salt, and enough water just to cover in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, drain, and set aside to cool.
Fill a medium saucepan or deep skillet 2 inches high with oil. Heat oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350 degrees on a deep-fry thermometer. Transfer oysters to a colander and rinse, checking for shells; pat dry. Dredge oysters in cornmeal coating and transfer to a plate. When oil is hot, add oysters to oil, working in batches, and fry until golden and crisp, about 2 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer oysters to a paper towel-lined baking sheet. Repeat process with remaining oysters.
To serve, toss celery root and spinach together in a medium bowl; divide evenly among 4 plates; spoon black-eyes peas around salad and top with fried oysters. Drizzle with any remaining jalapeno dressing; serve immediately.

HD TV in the UK
Everything you need to know... fully revised and updated
Posted in Personal Tech, 8th December 2006 11:35 GMT
Buyer's Guide Christmas is a-coming and the consumer electronics industry is out to sell you a brand spanking new HD TV. But is now the right time to buy? In this fully revised and updated report, Reg Hardware guides you past the gotchas...
Analogue to digital
The digital switchover starts in 2008 when the Border region has its analogue signal turned off. The process then works through Granada, Wales and the West Country in 2009; Grampian, Scottish and the West in 2010; Yorkshire, Central and East Anglia in 2011; and culminates in London, Meridian and Ulster in 2012. The consumer electronics industry is using the 'Big Switch' to sell HD TVs but the truth is that you can quite happily watch digital TV on a regular analogue CRT TV, as anyone who uses a Sky, NTL, Telewest or Freeview set-top box can testify.
It's easy to get confused, as the majority of the buying public associates digital TV with a flat LCD or plasma panel. The industry wants to sell us new, pricey flat-panel displays, and digital is a way to help it do so. So is HD TV.
But if you've visited a TV shop recently and seen an HD TV in action it's a safe bet that you were watching current standard definition (SD) TV content because there's relatively little HD content being broadcast at present. If you were lucky, you may have seen a Sky HD broadcast, content streamed off a hard drive, or even from a Blu-ray Disc or HD DVD. But it remains the case that the vast majority of content on offer to UK consumers is standard definition material, either broadcast or provided on DVD.
Screen test
The TV itself will have been a flat LCD or plasma screen because most British houses aren't generally large enough to accommodate a full-size rear-projection DLP (Digital Light Projection) TV, which is a shame as they are relatively inexpensive. The Samsung SP50L6HDX sells for about £949 which is pretty darn cheap for a 50in (125cm) screen. However, DLP is an acquired taste as the colours can be harsh on the eye so the picture lacks the warmth of a plasma display's image.
It would be lovely if we could come up with a rule of thumb to separate plasma and LCD screens but the latest LCDs look absolutely superb, with gorgeous colour reproduction, which used to be the domain of plasmas. If you walk around a showroom and hold your hand above the vents at the top of the TV you'll find some plasmas are incredibly cool while some LCDs are surprisingly warm, both contrary to the stereotype. In practice there's little to choose between the two technologies, so the main thing is to trust your eyes and your judgement, instead of blindly following the spec sheet.
Aspect ratio
A decent SD or HD TV can handle a change in aspect ratio with minimal fuss, which is useful as some content, such as the news, is still broadcast in old-style 4:3 (width:height), while movies and much of the current crop of TV are transmitted in a widescreen, 16:9 format, but you'll notice that the news, for instance, tends to be 4:3 so if your TV is a bit stubborn, Jon Snow's face will look slightly stretched.
The situation is going to get worse when we add HD content to the mix as your TV will have to be flexible enough to chop and change aspect ratio and resolution. Satellite broadcaster Sky once said it had chosen to broadcast in both 720p and 1080i resolutions, but earlier this year it announced it will broadcast everything in 1080i. Other broadcasters have yet to decide which they favour, but are likely to use both, for different programmes, depending on factors such as how much movement the show contains, for example.
Interestingly, recent BBC trials of HD broadcasts, which used both 720p and 1080i, both encoded at high and low bit-rates, found that while the differences in picture quality were clear in the lab, ordinary viewers were generally impressed with all the pictures and didn't detect much of a difference between them.
Crucially, any 'HD Ready' HD TV has to be capable of displaying both 720p and 1080i content, either by expanding the image or shrinking it, depending on the screen's native resolution and sometimes its physical size. More and more screens are also supporting 1080p. While 1080p may never become a broadcast format, it'll be used by the next-generation optical disc formats, HD DVD and Blu-ray Disc, and by Microsoft's Xbox 360 and, soon, Sony's PlayStation 3.
HD Resolutions
For a TV picture to be HD it has to be one of three resolutions: 720p, 1080i or 1080p. There are other resolutions, but they're essentially standard definition (SD) sizes. The resolution's number is the number of horizontal lines that make up the image, analogous to its height in pixels. The letter, p or i, stands for 'progressive' or 'interlaced'.
Progressive images are displayed like a movie, one frame at a time, in rapid succession. Interlacing is the same technique used in regular TV: send half the picture at a time but do so twice as quickly. It's a bandwidth-saving technique. Each 'half' of the image comprises alternate sets of lines, so first you send lines 1,3,5,7... etc. then you send 2,4,6,8... and so on. The first set is drawn on the TV screen, then the second lot, but the speed is such that they eye doesn't notice.
Well, almost. In practice, this approach can create visible artefacts when the image is moving rapidly and there's a slight downgrade in the image's effective resolution. This isn't an issue with progressive pictures, which is why many US HD broadcasters show programmes in 720p not 1080i, even though the latter has more pixels and therefore should be more detailed.
It's a good idea to check an LCD's native resolution: a TV that's touted as 1080p but only has, say, a 1,280 x 800 display panel will have to scale the image down from 1,920 x 1,080, the size of a 1080i/1080p image. In fact, it's probably scaling down to 720p's 1,280 x 720, with the remainder of the 800 horizontal lines making up a black border above and below the picture.
You can watch low-resolution SD TV on a high-resolution HD TV and it can look good or bad, depending on the quality of the hardware - again, get the shop to demo both kinds of content. If you're unconvinced you can splash out £90 on an LG DVK9900H upscaler which supports 1080i and will convert an SD picture to HDTV resolution, but we strongly suggest that you try before you buy. By its nature upscaling technology has to guess how to fill in all the pixels that the target screen has and the 768 x 576 source doesn't. And the resolution won't ever be as clear and as sharp as a picture that is displayed at its native resolution.
For some buyers, the poor look of SD content on LCD TVs - HD Ready or otherwise - can be a deal-breaker. And that's important to know if you're going to be watching a lot of SD content on your flat-panel TV.
Cables and copy-protection
You'll need to get the HD content onto your TV so it's time to talk about cables and connections. You'll want one SCART connector for your current DVD player and a second SCART for your PS2 or Xbox, and component-video will come in handy if you have an Xbox 360 which has HD output. You can also use component to carry HD content provided it's not copy-protected. Sooner or later you can expect that most HD content will be encrypted, and that means using an HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) connector.
As the encrypted HD signal passes down the line each device in the chain checks that the next device has an HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) chip which holds the encryption keys securely. The visible part of this chain is the HDMI connector, which looks similar to a Firewire port. Provided you connect your PS3 or HD DVD player to your HDTV with HDMI then all is well. HDMI supports both audio and video so if you want the full home theatre effect you'll need a surround sound receiver with HDMI pass-through.
The content protection chain is supposed to end at your HDTV when you watch the picture and listen to the audio, but if, say, you connect a PVR or a camcorder so you can record shows to hard disk or digital tape then the chain is broken. The system responds by dropping the resolution of the image so 1080i HD drops from 1,920 x 1,080 to 960 x 540, and a 720p image will drop even lower, probably to 480p which is an HD standard that is similar to the US TV system, NTSC.
In other words, if there's a glitch or one of your pieces of hardware doesn't fully support HDCP you'll end up with an image that is worse than you get from standard-definition TV today.
Sky is broadcasting more and more HD programming, but you have to pay for it: £10 a month for the content itself and £299-399 for the Sky HD box, depending on how many other channels you select to subscribe to each month. And then there's the cost of a dish if you don't already have one.
The missing link is the BBC and free-to-air. We're told that the Beeb won't be able to transmit HD TV signals alongside analogue and SD digital broadcasts. The BBC, ITV, Channel 4 and Five have been trialling HD over the Freeview network in London, but as things stand, HD Freeview won't be an option until 2012 when the analogue signal is turned off, freeing up the extra bandwith bandwidth needed to broadcast HD alongside digital SD.
You can get some BBC and ITV HD content through NTL-Telewest's TVDrive system, but don't forget Telewest is selling BBC HD to its customers when they are also obliged to pay a licence fee. We should all be able to get BBC services free-to-air, including HDTV.
TVDrive costs £10-15 a month, depending on how much you're already paying NTL Telewest each month for its regular TV, phone and broadband services.
Time to buy?
So let's look at the big questions. Do you need an HDTV? The key factor here the availability of HD content and, in particular, whether the kind of programmes you want to watch are being broadcast in HD. There's no doubt that sports and wildlife shows look superb in HD, but are you really prepared to spend £1,500 to just see David Attenborough get down and dirty with mountain gorillas in 1080i but watch everything else in SD?
If you plan to make an early investment in HD DVD or Blu-ray, then an HD TV is essential. If you want to make the most out of your Xbox 360 or PS3, then again, you'll need an HD TV. But if you think you'll be watching mostly broadcast SD content for the foreseeable future, we recommend you see how it looks on a large display before forking out for a flat-screen.
If you do decide to buy an LCD or plasma, make sure it's HD Ready so you're able to watch HD broadcasts as and when you get an HD set-top box or disc player. We'd recommend ensuring it has an HDMI port or two, too. ®

Turns out the cycling straight out of Stanford is like the best around; there are lots of routes and the roads are smooth and the traffic is tolerable. If your legs can make it up to Skyline then there's a world of options but I'm not in good enough shape yet to anything more than hit Skyline and collapse and coast back down.
I remember when I worked at HP I would drive up Page Mill to go hiking and mountain biking in the open spaces all around there. I would see road bikers on Page Mill and I thought they were just stupid/insane = nuts. That road is crazy steep and narrow and pretty high traffic, cars go flying around the turns in both directions and there's like no shoulder. Now I can almost relate to them. Sure would be nice if the road surfaces were better though.

|Professor Bill Chen Published an Article on China's Manufacturing Industry
|Wednesday, March 14, 2012
On Sunday, March 11, Professor Yuenyun (Bill) Chen published an article on China's manufacturing industry on the China Press USA. This is a daily newspaper in Chinese and it is circulated in California and other states in the US. The articles published in this newspaper are often cited and re-printed in other newspapers in China and other countries.
China has become the world's manufacturing center for several years. Now, China is facing strong challenges and serious problems. Its economic growth is slowing down and exports are shrinking. Many foreign manufacturing companies shifted back to their own countries like the US and Japan; some other Asian countries like India, Philippines, Vietnam and Indonesia have attracted many foreign manufacturing companies and are manufacturing and exporting more products that used to be made in China.
China's currency appreciation, the rapid rise of the business costs including labor costs, and shortage of labor, electricity and water in costal cities all contributed to the serious problems of the manufacturing industry in China. However, Professor Chen emphasized that China should not give up its dominant and competitive position in manufacturing. Instead, China should develop an urgent strategy and plan to shift its manufacturing companies from costal cities to inlands, particularly mid and northwestern-regions where operation costs of doing business are much lower and there are ample labors and resources. Such a successful shrift will enable China to maintain its competitive advantages in manufacturing. It will also help solve its employment problems. China's urbanization rate is increased by about 1% annually. It means that each year, there are more than 10 million peoples moving from countryside to the cities/towns. Providing adequate job opportunities to these people and other young people including college graduates is the most important to China's economic development and social stability. Continuously developing the manufacturing industry will be the main solution to China's economic growth, exports, improvement of urbanization and employment.
The article further discussed the relevant issues of shifting China's manufacturing industry. The article is available (in Chinese) at http://review.usqiaobao.com/2012-03/12/content_1317932.htm.

I have scarring, mild to moderate acne, but I often scar (small ice pick scars and needle point scars). I've been prescribed 20mg/day of Accutane for 6 months.
I've tried Aldactone and birth control pills with moderate improvement but am still dissatisfied with the results. Can I expect improvement from this dosage of Accutane? And should I worry about side effects at this dosage?

One of the most frequent laments from liberals is that the decline of unions has hurt American workers and our economy. And among the reasons that unions are in decline are dubious claims by liberals about them.
It's even worse when the person making the claim fancies himself an outspoken advocate for workers' rights and one who, not incidentally, is being abundantly compensated for his advocacy. (Audio after the jump)
On his radio show Thursday, Ed Schultz talked about a National Labor Relations Board ruling that Northwestern University football players are employed by the university and can unionize if the players vote in favor.
Several callers were critical of the decision, prompting Schultz to assuage their concerns with his stretch of an assertion (audio) --
SCHULTZ: Now, this is, this is big stuff. This isn't like they're, you know, going to go on strike or anything. This is going to force the hand of these major colleges who make billions of dollars as a conference and in the bowls and in the, well, the Final Four's going on, you know, pretty soon, the Sweet Sixteen ...
CALLER: I agree ...
SCHULTZ: ... I mean, this is, this is a revolutionary ruling when it comes to the labor market in this country and I find it fascinating, I really do.
This isn't like they're, you know, going to go on strike or anything -- a half truth, at best.
Half-truthful in the sense that Northwestern University football players are not now unionized and hence can't strike, though presumably enough of them could feign illness on any given weekend to prevent their team from playing, a strike in all but name.
But Schultz undermines his claim by what he says next -- "this is going to force the hand of these major colleges." And the best leverage for this, if the players voted to unionize, would be the threat of a strike.
For Schultz to claim unionized college athletes won't do so is akin to a salesman for the home security company boasting that his system provides the best protection ever, not that you'd ever need it. What would be the point of buying it?
It's possible that Northwestern football players, if they vote to unionize, would agree in future contracts that they won't strike. But that didn't stop air traffic controllers from striking in 1981, even though their contract forbade it since their work was essential to maintaining public safety. This can hardly be said of college football, nor would Northwestern players be considered public-sector employees since the university is privately owned, thus eliminating two potential hurdles if players wanted to strike.
The impulse to unionize while simultaneously surrendering a union's most powerful weapon to get its way are contradictory, and Schultz of all people should know this.

"An Afternoon With Euler"
Among the greatest of mathematicians is Leonhard Euler (1707-1783), whose insight, industry, and
ingenuity are unsurpassed in the long history of mathematics. In this talk, we sketch Euler's life, describe
the quantity and quality of his mathematical output, and discuss a few of his more spectacular discoveries.
We then look, in detail, at a specific problem: Euler was challenged to find four different whole numbers, the
sum of any pair of which is a perfect square. The numbers he found – namely 18530, 38114, 45986, and
65570 – reveal a remarkable genius in action. We'll follow along to see how he did it and thereby get a
sense of why Euler is rightly known as "the Master of Us All."
NOTE: This talk should be of interest to mathematics majors and minors.
William Dunham, who received his B.S. (1969) from the University of Pittsburgh and his M.S. (1970) and Ph.D.(1974) from Ohio State, is the Truman Koehler Professor of Mathematics at Muhlenberg College.
Over the years, Dunham has directed NEH seminars on math history at Ohio State and has spoken on historical topics at the Smithsonian Institution, on NPR's "Talk of the Nation: Science Friday," and at the Swiss Embassy in Washington, DC. In 2008 and again in 2013, he was a Visiting Professor at Harvard University, where he taught a class on the mathematics of Leonhard Euler.
In the 1990s, Dunham wrote three books – Journey Through Genius: The Great Theorems of Mathematics (Wiley, 1990), The Mathematical Universe (Wiley, 1994), and Euler: The Master of Us All (MAA, 1999) – and in the present century he has done two more – The Calculus Gallery: Masterpieces from Newton to Lebesgue (Princeton, 2005) and The Genius of Euler: Reflections on His Life and Work (MAA, 2007). In 2010 he recorded a 24-lecture DVD series for "The Great Courses" on the history of mathematics.
Dunham's expository writing has been recognized by the MAA with the George Pólya Award in 1993, the Trevor Evans Award in 1997 and 2008, the Lester R. Ford Award in 2006, and the Beckenbach Prize in 2008. The Association of American Publishers designated The Mathematical Universe as the Best Mathematics Book of 1994.

"Defending against H1N1 Virus, Smallpox, and other
Our society faces threats from newly emerging diseases such as the H1N1 virus and from diseases such as
smallpox or anthrax that might be introduced by bioterrorists. How can mathematics help us identify the best strategies to prevent the spread of disease and respond to outbreaks? Mathematical modeling of infectious disease goes back to Bernoulli's work on smallpox in 1760 and is widely used today by government agencies such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Department of Homeland Security. We will explore how simple models based on vertex-edge graphs can be used to explore strategies like vaccination and quarantine.

Im looking for a very clean corporate theme for Wordpress, I really liked this one:
http://themeforest.net/item/vilisya-minimalist-business-template-3/87147 (which he is converting to WP now a days) but I need it fast
Are there any themes out there now? Or is someone interested in making me one custom, I can pay 50-80US for the right one.
That link has all the Wordpress corporate themes – I usually find that if you sort by sales, you can see some of the best
And I thought you should know – 50 to 80$ is way too little for a custom themes. I myself charge $500 to convert from HTML to Wordpress, so for a full design, you would be charged much more.
Hey, thanks for quick reply. Typo there, of course 500-800US not 50-80!
Hi pivotal, if your looking for a custom WordPress theme or for someone to turn Vilisya into wordpress fast you can contact me threw my profile to talk further details.
