Quote from: LizaSymonenko on September 29, 2009, 08:14:58 PMI would never insult them, or anyone else.The class was not advertised as a Byzantine Catholic class, simply a class on iconography.Hmmmm! I wonder why they weren't upfront about that? Icons are theological and give a theological message.
That icon is beautiful! You are very talented and I do sincerely hope that you continue studying iconography in a practical manner!
I completed my first icon a week ago, and was able to get it blessed by my priest yesterday (see photos).I was needlessly worried about taking lessons from a ByzCatholic priest. He was very nice and knowledgeable. When I asked to do my icon differently than what he was instructing (ie. putting the Greek letters in the nimbus versus gems and polka dots, adding the 9 lines in the in the nimbus, etc.) he had no problem and only reiterated that what I was asking was actually the correct way the icon should be "written".I thoroughly enjoyed myself! Having always been interested in iconography, I was thrilled to actually go through the steps myself. I recommend iconography to everyone! It not only gives you a new appreciation for icons, but, for the Faith. When we began the icons, we prayed...but, not only that, we actually wrote prayers on the white gessoed board. For example, if the icons are being made for a wedding couple, then their names are inscribed, if they are being written for someone or something in particular, a prayer for that person is written on the icon. Gave me goosebumps. I had to stop, and think. I covered my icon with prayers (in Ukrainian, all along the borders and edge.) I had read that a cross should be made on the icon wherever you think people might be kissing it, like Christ's shoulder, the corners, etc... It was really a deep, spiritual experience for me.Then we applied chaos. It's a mix of brown and blue (God created the heavens and the earth)...and it get's applied all over the board as a base. This represents that out of chaos God created order. It was really, really inspiring. Every step had spiritual meaning behind it.Even the use of the egg as the base for the tempera (natural material) paints. The egg represents life and resurrection. Once the yolk was cleaned and emptied into a container then holy water would be added (three times as much as yolk - Trinity). We used tap water. To the mix was added vinegar to keep the egg from spoiling too quickly (the vinegar was given to Christ on the Cross). Everything had spiritual meaning.The room was silent - no music. The priest said that he finds it is easier to focus for the new iconographers in a silent room. More advanced will have liturgical music, or will actually chant. He did encourage us to keep prayers in our minds, or hum a hymn that will stick and we will simply repeat in our heads - all in order to keep stray, earthly thoughts out of our minds.It was an expensive course, but, I am so happy that I took it. I highly recommend everyone try it. I can't walk by an icon now, without stopping, and staring at it for a long time. I have always loved icons and what they represent, but, now, I have a new appreciation.My priest was not available to bless my icon a week ago, and this last week I was anticipating the event like a huge celebration for me! I was so honored to see my icon be taken up to the Altar.What an honor!Thank you to everyone for your encouragement and support!
I was soooooo happy!

As we close in on the last few days of the election season, the KUNM News Team has been hitting the streets, trying to get a sense of what's propelling New Mexicans to cast their votes.
"My name's Romeo Rocha…"
Romeo says when his mom was pregnant with him, his dad took her to see Romeo and Juliet, hence the name.
Romeo: "Yeah when you are younger and everyone is making fun with you it seems like a curse but after awhile you get used to it."
Curse or not, Romeo's story, even though it's not Shakespearian, does begin as a bit of a tragedy. As a young man he married, fathered two beautiful daughters, but somehow he kept having these run ins with the law. It was the year 2000…
Romeo: "I was getting into a lot of trouble, I was going to jail a lot and one day when I got out of jail my oldest daughter, know normally she would come up to me and hug me but this time she just stayed holding her moms hand and the first thing she asked me was "are you going back to jail dad?" and that's when I knew I had to change my life, so I made the drastic decision to go join the Navy."
The structure and stability that the military touted seemed to fit the bill of drastic-lifestyle-change that Romeo was searching for. So in late 2000 Romeo completes boot camp, and in 2001 he moves his family to Norfolk Virginia, to the largest navel station in the world. Everything seems cool when the twin towers are struck on 9/11.
Romeo: "I mean things changed really, really fast after 9/11."
Rita: "Can you give me some examples?"
Romeo: "Well the immediate effect was that I couldn't sleep cause i had my family there in Virginia with me and you know one of the planes had gone down at the Pentagon pretty close to the navel base so my immediate thoughts were "we're probably gonna be next."
Quickly, workups were done for the USS Austin to set sail. Battle groups from the Marines were put on board, as well as Marines vehicles, and they took off towards the Middle East. And everything is going great, there's a strong sense of purpose pulsating throughout the ship. But when they pull into Thesolanaki, a small island of our Greek allies…
Romeo: "We couldn't get, we didn't get, they didn't let you off the ship and outside of the gates to go explore the city because the people there were protesting us. And I thought that was odd, I was like why is this country protesting us? And I was like well that sucks, you know, I really wanted to check this place out."
Romeo says that it was then he started wondering, why are these people protesting us?
Romeo: "But that's when it hit me, so ohhhh, were over here, about to invade a country that had nothing to do with 9/11 and that's what they're protesting. The message was pretty clear. To the rest of the world it was obvious, but of course to the troops and everybody inside the military they keep everybody that doesn't need to know hushed about what's going on and I was just doing what I was told."
Romeo continued to do his job. He got transferred from the USS Austin to a ship called the Avenger. And he served his full term. But when it came time to reenlist, he opted out.
Romeo: "You know I support our troops and their families because they're the ones that are going through, you know for a lack of better term, they are going through the crap. I just do not support some of the things that they get pretty much forced to do, without question. Its one of the um unspoken rules of being in the military, you don't say s*&. It doesn't matter what the order is , you do it."
Now, Romeo is a small business owner, and when we got to talking politics, he wasn't shy to share his opinion.
Romeo: "This year, I guess I still have kind of a Bush hang over."
Romeo voted for Bush, so there's a level of ownership in that whole hangover statement.
Romeo: "I remember, you know, what he did, I remember what happened during that administration and I understand that the reason we're suffering so much right now and going through this so called recession is because of what was done, you know, during those 8 years and…"
There's two things that are really on Romeo's mind this season. "I'm leaning more towards Obama then Romney but it's tough because you know you've got this guy who can supposedly fix the economy because he's got this business experience but you look at what he did as a business man and you wonder what???? This guy shipping jobs overseas or whatever. And I don't like that."
And then there's the issue of foreign policy…
Romeo: "You got this Republican candidate that has a Vice Presidential candidate. Neither one of them have experience with foreign policy."
Romeo feels that at least with the Obama administration, they've got Biden, who has a sturdy, weathered hand when it comes to foreign policy.
Romeo: "And he's got Hillary, she's definitely a strong strong perso"
A few days after the interview, Romeo hit the polls ,for some early voting…
Romeo: "Time to fill in the bubbles, I guess we'll see how it all turns out."
Romeo said in between our interview and the moment he cast his ballot, he did do additional research on the candidates , just to make sure. But he went with his original gut instinct, voted for four more years.

It served nobly, though it was not a Plymouth Valiant. It took me to new places, though it was not a Ford Explorer. I parked it under a tree, though it was not a Toyota Sequoia. (The tree was a maple.) It was the last car I had bought, a 1992 Honda Civic. It even had an air bag—for the driver. But the years had passed it by: my passengers wanted air bags, too, and I conceded that it was time for a new car.
Also, the air conditioner has been busted for something like eight years. I frequently considered rectifying the situation, but it seemed like a poor investment to throw $1,000 into a car with a book value of, well, nothing. The economics of such a repair said that I wouldn't be making an air-conditioned car, I'd be making a portable air conditioner.
So I entered the automobile market. Which meant interacting with one of the most lampooned and reviled figures in the history of American commerce: the car salesman. Fortunately, I walked into showrooms armed. Because I had read Scientific American's February 2001 article by social psychologist Robert B. Cialdini, "The Science of Persuasion." The piece outlines the basic methods to change someone's mind or to get the person to act a certain way. And knowing about these methods can offer immunity to the one being persuaded—aka the mark or the chump.
For example, when the chatty salesman at the first dealership discovered, or invented, that we had similar backgrounds, I knew that he was trying to establish rapport, because we are much more likely to do something for somebody we like. It didn't work.
When he called a few days later to tell me that the car I had looked at was available at a reduced price "today only," I knew that he was using the scarcity tactic—we're more enticed to grab something when its availability is limited. This approach might have paid off if the car he was selling wasn't also limited in its right-side sight lines. At the "today only" price, it was an attractive option if I committed to making only left turns.
The salesman at a second dealership sat next to me on a test drive. As we passed a gas station, he said, "Whew, look at those prices." I realized that this remark was a reminder that the car would use less high-cost fuel. As social creatures, humans are hardwired to reciprocate when someone does something for us. And he was allegedly doing me the favor of saving money on gas in the future, making me more likely to do him the favor of buying his car in the present. His theoretical generosity was sadly mitigated by the car being a kidney-rattling tin can.
At the third dealership, I encountered a laid-back salesman whose style actually did make me like him, whether that was his strategy or not. I also liked his car and bought it. But when I went to take delivery, I was disappointed to find that the brand-new car had a long and ugly scratch on the hood. My salesman was out that day, and I was told I would have to talk to the business manager. He sat on a platform two feet above the showroom floor. This move, of course, is designed to make him appear to be an authority figure—all he needed was the black robe and gavel—because we are inherently moved to believe in and submit to authority.
Again, my knowledge offered me some immunity. When I told the business manager that I would not be accepting the car until the scratch was dealt with, he invoked the rules of reciprocity and scarcity: "You know," he said, "we worked really hard to get you this car." I then countered with my own scarcity move—I pulled the check out of my pocket and said, "Well, I worked really hard for this money. Call me when the car is perfect."
Which they did the very next day. Of course, we both know that I didn't really work hard. But that can be our little secret. Because we're friends, right?

2008 Chrysler PT Cruiser ReviewThis car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale.
Retrowagon, and gangster convertible.
The Chrysler PT Cruiser combines the retro look of late-'30s American iron with modern performance, efficiency and features. The PT Cruiser comes in two body styles, a versatile five-door wagon and a not-so-versatile two-door convertible.
The five-door model's tall body boasts lots of room for people and cargo. In fact, its interior volume and versatility compare well to a small SUV. Fold the seats down and you can carry an eight-foot ladder. Pull the rear seats out and you can haul a load of building materials or a big-screen TV. Yet the PT Cruiser is small and easy to park.
It's also easy on gas. The lower-level models are competitively priced, and we think they make the most sense.
The PT Cruiser convertible is one of the least expensive convertibles on the market. It looks like a chopped-top gangster-mobile with the top up and puts the wind in your hair with the top down. Roomy seats make it great for four passengers. Its trunk is tiny and awkward, however; in fact, we can't think of a trunk that's less convenient than the one on the Cruiser convertible.
The PT Cruiser doesn't fit within existing automotive marketing segments, but competes on some levels with the Chevy HHR, the Scion xB, and the Mini Cooper. Like them, it is essentially a car: The PT Cruiser is based on the Dodge Neon, a compact car noted for sprightly performance. So it drives like a car, though the handling is not as good. Cruiser is an appropriate name.
Chrysler has dropped the high-performance GT models for 2008. Frankly, we thought they were over-priced and favored the standard model that is still available.
New for 2008, a tire-pressure monitor and front side air bags are now standard on all models and the base wagon is now called LX. In addition, the Touring model gets a standard automatic transmission and 16-inch wheels. The 2008 Limited model now has 17-inch wheels, the 2.4-liter turbocharged engine, ABS and traction control as standard equipment.
The 2008 Chrysler PT Cruiser comes in two body styles: a five-door hatchback/wagon Chrysler calls a sedan; and a two-door convertible. The wagon is available in three trim levels: base LX, Touring and Limited. The convertible comes as a single model.
All PT Cruisers are powered by a 2.4-liter, twin-cam four-cylinder engine. In all but the Limited model the standard engine is tuned to deliver 150 horsepower. A five-speed manual transmission is standard and a four-speed automatic is optional ($825). A 180-horsepower turbocharged version of this engine is standard in Limited wagons and optional ($1905) in Touring wagons and the convertible. The price includes antilock four-wheel disc brakes and traction control. (The 230-horsepower High Output turbocharged version of the 2.4-liter four-cylinder is no longer available.)
The base PT Cruiser wagon ($14,940) comes with AM/FM/CD/MP3 stereo; fabric bucket seats and floor console; tilt steering wheel; power windows; speed-sensitive power locks; remote keyless entry; engine immobilizer; tinted glass; rear window defroster, wiper and washer; 65/35 split folding and removable rear seat; trip computer; theft-deterrent system; rear spoiler; and P195/65R15 tires on steel wheels with wheel covers.
The Touring wagon ($18,930) adds air conditioning; cruise control; YES Essentials cloth upholstery that Chrysler says is odor, stain, and static resistant; a six-way power driver's seat with lumbar adjustment; power mirrors; fog lights; and P205/55R16 tires on alloy wheels.
The convertible ($18,530) adds all the same equipment as the Touring wagon, plus a firmer touring suspension, a power convertible top with soft boot cover, and a 50/50 split rear seat.
The Limited model ($22,660) is well equipped with a leather-wrapped steering wheel, leather upholstery, heated front seats, a sunroof, a universal garage door opener, Sirius satellite radio, the touring suspension, and P205/50R17 tires. (Yes, you read that right; the Touring suspension comes on the Limited, not on the Touring model.)
A Street Cruiser Sunset Boulevard Edition ($845) for the base wagon includes a sunroof, illuminated visor mirrors, map lights, rear privacy glass, P205/55R16 tires on chromed alloy wheels, chrome interior and exterior trim, and Street Cruiser and Sunset Boulevard Edition badges.
Options include a 368-watt Boston Acoustics premium sound system ($695) that comes with Sirius satellite radio and is also available with a six-disc CD changer ($750 convertible, $800 Touring and Limited); a sunroof for Touring wagons ($795); heated front seats for the convertible and Touring wagon ($250); Sirius satellite radio for the base wagon ($195, including a one-year subscription); and Chrysler's UConnect hands-free cell phone link ($360) for Limited. Many of the standard features on higher-line models are also available as options on the less expensive models.
Safety features include dual front airbags; torso-protecting front side-impact airbags; and a tire-pressure monitor. The front belts have pyrotechnically charged tensioners, just like in luxury cars, to tighten the belts for the initial stages of an impact. The rear bench is equipped with child-seat tethers. Antilock brakes and traction control are standard on Limited. They are also included with the optional turbocharged engine and are available as a $625 option for other models.
The Chrysler PT Cruiser blends the retro look of a late-1930s or early 1940s American sedan with new-age styling cues such as dual-beam flush headlights and teardrop-shaped taillight lenses.
The look was refined beginning with the 2006 models, but not drastically changed. The horizontal-themed grille does not extend below the bumper as on older models and it's topped by a prominent Chrysler eagle and flanked by gently scalloped headlamps. Round foglights frame a horizontal slot in the bumper. Around back, a body-color spoiler on the liftgate is said to improve aerodynamic efficiency.
Exterior dimensions indicate the PT Cruiser is quite compact. It's shorter in overall length than most compact sedans, but it's relatively tall. Measuring 63 inches from the pavement to the highest point of its roof, it's nearly as tall as a minivan. That height is a crucial element of the PT Cruiser's design.
The design of the convertible is quite a bit different from that of the wagon. For starters, it's a two-door rather than a four-door. The convertible looks shorter than the wagon, but it isn't. Maybe it's the single long door on each side that creates this illusion. It's lower, however, by almost three inches, which certainly alters the looks. But there's a lot more to it than that: close examination reveals that the windshield is raked more radically and uses a different A-pillar design.
With the top up, the convertible looks like a custom chopped-top hot rod. And it looks pretty cool. Drop the top and the gangstermobile turns into a chick car. With its top down, the PT Cruiser convertible's high tail and integrated sport bar remind us of the old Volkswagen Cabrio. But where the VW's side windows sealed against its sport bar, the Chrysler's windows seal against each other for a more modern convertible profile. Its slightly narrower and color-keyed sport bar sits behind the windows, inside the car, and is aerodynamically designed to minimize wind noise. A nice boot is provided that dresses up the appearance with the top down.
The Chrysler PT Cruiser pulls its exterior styling themes into the cabin, although here, too, the retro theme is tempered by a modern-looking center stack that visually splits the vintage-styled dashboard.
The driver faces three white-faced gauges set in individual cylinders, with speedometer center, tachometer right, and fuel and water temperature left. Accessory switches are concentrated in the center panel, with radial-type climate control dials at the bottom. Window switches are high in the center stack, inconvenient for quick operation, forcing the driver to search for them. The door levers have a nice action, and the switches operate with good tactile feel, though they're not world class. The standard stereo sounds tinny; we haven't tried the Boston Accoustics system. Also, there's a separate Set button for the station presets. It's fussier than simply holding the preset down.
A bonus of the Cruiser's tall profile is its upright seating position, with a fairly high view ahead, somewhat like a sport-utility vehicle or minivan. The front seats have a reasonable amount of bolstering to keep driver and passenger from sliding side to side. The leather package offers a rich appearance given the Cruiser's price, with suede inserts in the doors and along the lower cushion edges.
The center console incorporates a sliding armrest. The PT's console also includes a covered tray for concealing small items, a storage bin that holds six CDs, a coin holder and fold-out cupholders for rear-seat coffee consumers.
Roominess is a virtue in the Cruiser. The wagon's 120.5 cubic feet of interior volume is comparable to that of large cars such as the Mercedes-Benz S-Class or Lincoln Town Car, though it certainly doesn't have the ambience of those cars. Much of that space is a function of the Cruiser's height.
To take advantage of this, the rear seat bottoms are higher than those in front. This theater seating, as it's called, affords the back-seat passengers a better view forward. Rear passengers also can stretch their legs underneath the front seats, which are mounted on tall boxes. A 6-foot, 9-inch passenger can fit comfortably in the front or rear seats.
The cabin of the PT Cruiser wagon can be configured 26 different ways. This flexibility stems from three features: a 65/35 split rear bench that can be folded flat, tumbled forward or removed, a movable parcel shelf in the cargo bay, and an available front passenger seat that folds flat. The rear seats are anchored with quick-release attachments for easy removal. Suitcase handles and steel wheels make it easy to stash the rear seats in the garage and move them about. The smaller portion of the rear seat weighs 35 pounds, but the larger section weighs a hefty 65 pounds.
With both rear seats out, the Cruiser provides 62.7 cubic feet of cargo volume. A mountain bike fits with the rear seats removed; take the front wheel off the bike and you can leave the rear seats in place. The load floor measures 40 inches between the wheelwells, not wide enough for four-foot building materials, but still enormously useful. Folding the front passenger seatback flat forms a table next to the driver, or makes room for an eight-foot stepladder or a load of two-by-fours.
The convertible doesn't stand as tall as the wagon. It offers just 84.3 cubic feet of interior volume (compared with 120.5 for the wagon). Head room and hip room are significantly reduced, front and rear. It's fine up front, though. The convertibles get sportier seats with more side bolstering. The chair-like rear seats in the convertible have lots of leg room making them very comfortable, though it's tight around the hips and shoulders. The convertible's seats can be configured nine different ways, suggesting practicality. Trying to load something into the back seat is annoying, however. You have to set down whatever you're trying to load, use both hands to.
Driving Impression
The PT Cruiser is fun to drive, but it's not a sports car. In essence, it's a tall, practical economy car that goes relatively quickly. The standard engine is rated 150 horsepower and 165 pound-feet of torque, enough to propel the Cruiser from 0 to 60 mph in about 8.5 seconds and down the quarter-mile drag strip in about 16.7 seconds. We call that peppy, but the base engine makes its best power at higher rpm, so you have to really get on it to get that type of performance. Big four-cylinder engines have a natural tendency to idle roughly, so Chrysler's 2.4-liter engine uses a counter-rotating balance shaft to smooth things out.
The PT Cruiser offers both a five-speed manual and four-speed automatic transmission. The manual gearbox is surprisingly precise, not sports-car grade, but not bad for a unit with a longer-throw gate and foot-long shifter. Working the gears to get the most from the base engine is enjoyable.
The automatic isn't as effective as the five-speed at getting the base Cruiser cruising, because 'automatics tend to keep an engine in lower rev ranges and the 2.4-liter's' peak torque is reached at a relatively high 4,000 rpm. (Torque is the force that propels the car from intersections and up steep hills). On the other hand, kickdown shifts come fairly quickly. With properly timed dips of the accelerator, there's enough power for safe, clean overtaking on two-lane roads. In short, we like the manual better than the automatic. With the manual transmission, the base engine is EPA rated at 21 mpg in the city and 26 on the highway. With the automatic, the ratings are 19/24.
The 180-horsepower turbocharged engine that's standard on Limited and optional otherwise produces a healthy 210 pound-feet of torque, starting at 2800 rpm and holding steady to 4000. That improves performance with the automatic considerably, and makes it eaiser to make that pass, accelerate ahead of traffic, or fill that hole in traffic. The turbo is relatively devoid of turbo lag, so the extra power makes the PT Cruiser easier to live with on a daily basis. And the fuel economy hit is not that larger. With the manual, the turbo 2.4 gets 20 mpg city and 25 highway; with the automatic, it is rated at 18 city and 24 highway.
Even the base PT Cruiser handles more like a sedan than a minivan, maintaining its composure in the corners. With its big 17-inch wheels and tires, the Limited is sportier, though it lacks precision. Though it is noticeable in all models, body lean is much better controlled than in any SUV and is good for an economy car. The rear suspension design maximizes cargo space, but the twist-beam rear axle bounces a bit on rough pavement and the chassis does not feel rigid. In quick, hard, slalom-type maneuvers any PT Cruiser starts to feel top heavy'. You can almost feel the high mass of the car try to continue in one direction as the front wheels turn in the other. It feels tentative when turning in for high-speed corners and does not inspire confidence. It's more composed than the typical sport-utility or minivan in sudden lane-change maneuvers, but it really is more of a cruiser than a sports machine.
In spite of its height, we did not find the Cruiser to be particularly susceptible to cross winds at high speeds. There is little wind noise, almost no tire or road noise, and a just-audible whine from the drivetrain.
The ride quality is generally absorbent in all models. The suspension feels better controlled with the Limited's 17-inch wheels and touring suspension, but these is little if any price to pay in ride quality. The convertible is less rigid and exhibits some cowl shake but is satisfylingly well controlled. Suprisingly, some convertible coupes have more cowl shake.
The Chrysler PT Cruiser appeals to people of all ages and lifestyles with its whimsical, retro design. Its affordability increases its appeal. It's also practical, with a roomy, versatile interior. It isn't particularly refined, however. The convertible offers genuine open-air fun and is great for carrying four people, but there's no place for cargo. The lower-priced models offer the best value and we think they make the most sense.

Visibility Low
It was 40 degrees and raining sideways along the Puget Sound coastline. Cedars bent to the will of the wind, and we rode North on the Lower Magnolia Loop. With an eye on the clouds we stayed ahead of the rain until we turned back South, returning to Alki and met up with @mzsitka. She didn't want to get cold so we didn't chat for too long.
Pretty in Pink
When the rain struck our faces in sheets like cold wet-naps, my choice in kit worked well. Nanoflex bib tights and a Gabba combined with an eVent shell made a neutral microclimate that beaded up good. The bootie-boots setup didn't allow any soak through either.
Beaded up good, with the DWR doing its job
This ride is Photomapped on Google. It was a level down from the last time I #rodeinit. In the shower, when the secondary embro warmth tingled the thighs, I thought, that was a good ride.

Big-Block Vs Diesel - Suburban Shoot-OutPosted in Features on January 4, 2011
This month we were on a mission to find out which new Chevy mill makes for a better performing and towing vehicle, the new Vortec 7400 big-block or the 6.5L turbodiesel. We'd always heard that diesels were torquemasters-but is it true? We figured we'd get the naked truth by comparing two Suburbans with those two engines. Unfortunately, Chevrolet could only supply us with a 1/2-ton diesel with 3.42 gears and a 3/4-ton big-block with 4.10 gears. Not an equal test. However, even though this is not a true head-to-head comparo, we were able to confirm some beliefs and form some opinions on which engine is better for your needs.
It was way back in 1935 that the first Chevy Suburban Carryall took the world by storm. The all-steel wagon was built on a truck chassis and could hold eight passengers-the family truckster. And here we are more than 60 years later, and the Suburban remains the family hauler that GM claims is the world's largest sport/utility vehicle. It can still carry way more than 2.5 kids but does so with some real beef under the hood. For 1997, there's a standard small-block Vortec 5700 V-8 and the optional big-block Vortec 7400 V-8 as well as a 6.5L V-8 turbodiesel engine.
The Vortec line of gas engines was introduced into the Suburban to provide increased power, better towing ability, and longer intervals between tune-ups, while the 6.5L turbodiesel was designed for better fuel economy and improved throttle response, thanks to its Borg-Warner/IHI turbocharger system. Both Suburbans we tested were equipped with the 4L80-E automatic overdrive transmission.
After racking up the mileage during around-town highway cruising, we headed up the long grade to Los Angeles County Raceway while towing 5,000 pounds to see what these 'Burbans could do. And what they couldn't do. Although the common conception is that a diesel is the best choice if you're looking for a tow vehicle, it was during the climb to the dragstrip that the turbodiesel-stuffed
Sub showed its true colors.
While climbing the grade, we had it wide open to maintain 60 mph, and downshifting was required to prevent hunting between overdrive and Third. On steeper sections the trans downshifted to Second and the engine hit the rev limiter. It was kinder to the vehicle to back off and mosey along at three-quarter throttle and 45 mph. So towing performance was not awesome, but we were also hauling the 1/2-ton's maximum trailer weight rating of 5,000 pounds.
Taking the big-block Suburban through the same route was a lot more impressive. We were able to make the entire uphill trip at 65 mph with the trans occasionally kicking down to Third on steep sections. On lesser grades, we were even able to accelerate from 65 to 75, which was impossible with the turbodiesel. The impressive performance was due not only to the Vortec's 410 lb-ft of torque, but also to the lowest available axle gears, 4.10.
Once we made it to the track, we ran acceleration tests on both Suburbans, with and without the trailer. The unloaded diesel Suburban went 68 mph in 19.806 seconds; with the trailer, it peaked at 55 mph in 25.013 seconds-5.207 seconds slower. The gas Suburban ran an impressive 77 mph in 17.722 seconds, while towing added 4.848 seconds for 61 mph in 22.570 seconds. Curiously, both Suburbans were only about 27 percent slower when loaded.
Next question: Does a diesel really get better mileage? Unloaded, the turbodiesel got 18.338 mpg and 11.450 while towing; it averaged 15.493 mpg over the duration of our testing. And remember, that's with many miles of hauling at maximum towing capacity. Not bad when compared to the big-block's 7.41 while trailering at half its max load, and 9.65 when not, for an average of 9.12 mpg.
So what do the numbers mean? If you're after a tow vehicle, the big-block is the better choice. If you're in need of a vehicle that gets good mileage, the diesel would be the better route-its efficiency numbers are particularly good when you remember the Suburban's size. And the diesel can tow-you just need more patience.
But what about the ride? We were surprised to find little ride-quality difference between the 1/2-ton and the 3/4-ton which says a lot for both vehicles, especially since we found them much smaller from behind the wheel than we do as pedestrians. These 'Burbans do not drive like behemoths. Amenities were similar, though there was no mistaking that you were motoring the 6.5L due to the telltale clatter. Thanks to improvements in design over the years, the engine is quieter than old versions, although the big-block cab did have a libraryesque quality after getting directly into it from the diesel. And although the big-block had noticeably more throttle response, the diesel wasn't as sluggish as we'd presumed it would be prior to the test.
If price is a consideration, the big-block is the cheaper option at $600, but the $2,860 for the turbodiesel can be made up for in its better mileage over the long haul.
The Tow Truth We'd always heard that diesels rule for tow duty-but do they? If you look at the chart of Chevy's 4x4 Suburban tow ratings, you'll find that a 1/2-ton (K1500) diesel has the exact same tow rating as the Vortec 5700 small-block gas engine when both vehicles are equipped with 3.42 axle gears (which are the only available gears for a 1/2-ton diesel). If you compare 3/4-ton Suburbans, notice that a 4.10-geared turbodiesel is rated at 2,500 pounds less than a 7.4L big-block gas engine with the same gears. This tells you two things: First, the diesel has a lower tow rating than a big-block in every configuration. Second, axle gears are crucial to towing performance. Also remember that vehicle weight and stopping power affect tow ratings, so the added weight of the diesel engine itself could contribute to the lower ratings. Believe it or not, our 1/2-ton diesel weighed 240 pounds more than the 3/4-ton big-block.
|Axle ratio

*diesel engines; bold indicates vehicles we tested
Power This was our first chance to try out the 6.5L turbodiesel and the Vortec 7400 V-8 SFI. The Vortec 7400 replaces the throttle-body-injected L19 7.4, which made 230 hp at 3,600 rpm and 385 lb-ft of torque at 1,600 rpm. The 7400 is available for 3/4-ton Suburbans and makes 290 hp at 4,000 rpm and 410 lb-ft of torque at 3,200 rpm. The turbodiesel has more peak torque (430 lb-ft at 1,800 rpm) but less horsepower (195 hp at 3,400 rpm).
How Diesel Works Back in 1893, Rudolf Diesel produced the first diesel engine, primarily to be used in industrial applications. Because diesels were very fuel efficient, they were in demand-and that holds true today. Many improvements have been made to the powerplants since Mr. Diesel's early design. With the advent of indirect injection (IDI) and turbochargers, acceleration has improved, and manufacturers have also eliminated a lot of the clattering diesel noise.
Jack Blanchard of Diesel Engineering at the GM Powertrain Group gave us the scoop on how four-stroke diesels work. With a gas engine, fuel mixes with the air that enters a cylinder during the intake stroke. However, with a diesel engine, only air is taken in during the intake stroke. Therefore, only air is compressed during the compression stroke. Diesel fuel is injected into the cylinder at the end of the compression stroke.
When the air compresses it gets really hot, and that's what ignites the fuel when it's injected into the system. Since the compression ratio is so much higher (a GM diesel has a 20.2:1 compression ratio as compared to 9:1 for a gas engine), the temperature is high enough to spontaneously ignite the fuel injected into the cylinder. Therefore, it doesn't need a spark to ignite. So the biggest difference between a gas engine and a diesel engine is that a diesel doesn't use spark plugs; rather, it has a compression ignition system.
All diesel engines are fuel-injected-they inject fuel right into the cylinder. The GM diesels are IDI engines-fuel is injected into a prechamber that sits right above the piston. With direct-injected engines, fuel goes into the cylinder atop the piston. IDI is quieter and has better luck meeting emissions at the low end. That's why a diesel can go into the C/K 1500 series, according to Blanchard.

- "Gold is up, but worth $800"
- by Anora Mahmudova
- Add a Comment
From Mark Hulbert: Gold might be up this year, but it's worth only $800
The gold bugs are stirring.
A 10% gain by the yellow metal this year is rekindling hope among long-suffering bulls that the major bear market that began nearly three years ago finally might be over.
They argue that gold will continue to rise because investors will be seeking a hedge against rising inflation, currency fluctuations and geopolitical uncertainty.
Yet according to Duke University finance professor Campbell Harvey, one of academia's leading experts on gold prices, the odds are poor that the metal will return any time soon to its all-time high in August 2011. That month, the spot Comex gold contract reached an intraday high of $1,929.20, more than $600 above Thursday's settle price of $1,320.40.
He puts gold's fair value today at a little higher than $800.

Kristina Hooper, U.S. investment strategist at Allianz Global Investors, said that markets are too liberal in expecting rate hikes in the second half of 2015.
"It became harder to project the next rate hike because the Fed has moved away from a hard target, like the unemployment number.

Please help! My 3 month old is refusing a bottle, and I must return to work in one month. I have EBF since birth and have been introducing the bottle to my daughter since she was 6 weeks old. From 6 weeks to now 13 weeks old, she has been refusing the bottle. I have tried just about everything and am looking for any additional advice. I have tried:
- 8 different bottles/nipples and 2 sippy cups
- cup feeding
- my husband/sister/mother/MIL has tried giving it to her
- I have tried giving it to her (I am actually one of the only people she doesn't scream with when giving the bottle)
- I have been in the house, out of the house, and across the house in a different room during the attempts
- we have tried giving it to her in many different positions, including those used during nursing
- we have tried slipping the bottle in when she's sleepy or sleeping
- we have tried dipping the nipple in breast milk, as well as warming the nipple before giving
- we have tried many different temperatures of the milk
- we have given her the bottle at feeding times and between feeding times, so she's either been hungry or content during attempts
A lactation consultant that I've been in contact with told me that "she will take the bottle when you go back to work because she'll have no other choice, and she won't starve herself". The other day, when I was out of the house for hours, she went 9+ hours with my in-laws, without a feeding, and still did not take the bottle.
My daughter has also never really taken a pacifier, and still won't. I offered her the pacifier at about 2 weeks old, and she never fully took to it. I waited until 6 weeks to introduce the bottle due to the fear of nipple confusion, but am now kicking myself that I waited too long.
Any additional advice, tips, tricks, or opinions would be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance

The joy of Jewishness
New kids museum stresses laughing, learning
The matzoh balls print recipes. A giant tree talks about good deeds. A
kosher refrigerator tells jokes and shofars don't just blow, they explain
about Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year.
Welcome to the $30 million Jewish Children's Museum in Crown Heights,
which opens to the public Dec. 23.
The museum is a seven-story, high-tech, interactive playland designed to
teach elementary school kids of all backgrounds about Jewish holidays,
history and family life.
"We want all children to feel totally free here," said Devorah Halberstam,
who helped raise funds for the facility.
The museum is dedicated to the memory of Halberstam's son Ari, who was
slain in 1994 at the age of 16 while he was riding in a van on the Brooklyn
Bridge. The Justice Department ruled the killing "the crime of a terrorist."
"Ari died at such a young age, before he really had a chance to live,"
Halberstam said. "But really, his life was about what you find here -
innocence, enjoying life, living day-to-day and enjoying your traditions.
"There are so many messages here at this museum," Halberstam
continued, "but above all, it is about joy."
The fun and learning begin with an interactive biblical account of the
creation. Detailed etchings overhead tell the tale. On the appropriate days,
real fish swim, animated birds fly and an elephant grunts "hello."
After the creation of Adam and Eve comes the day of rest. To prepare for
it, kids shop in a kosher supermarket with working checkout scanners, and
cook in a model kitchen where a refrigerator offers one-liners.
There's a room-sized, interactive Sabbath dinner table that has computers
inside giant matzoh balls. The computers display what Jewish families
around the world eat on the Sabbath and print out recipes for the dishes.
Next come the holidays, starting with talking shofars to herald Rosh
Hashanah, and ending with Shavuot, the giving of the law, which includes
the Ten Commandments.
To help visualize that day, kids enter a room where clouds part above Mt.
Sinai, tablets with the commandments come down and flowers bloom.
For Chanukah, there's a newsstand spreading the word about the Miracle
of the Lights, along with a modern-day television studio where kids can be
reporters and get a CD of their on-camera work.
Since families remove all yeast products from their homes in preparation
for Passover, there's an electronic game where children must find bread
hidden in a cupboard.
In the World of Good, children learn about universal, ethical principles
shared by people of all faiths, said Rabbi Nissen Brenenson, director of
education at the museum.
Youngsters are encouraged to visit the sick, honor their parents and
teachers, take care of pets and give to charity.
Finally, to show off how much they've learned during their visit, kids can
play the museum's versions of Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy. Brenenson
said each child will also participate in a crafts project to take home.
To celebrate the start of Chanukah Tuesday night, elected officials and
community leaders will gather in front of the museum on Eastern Parkway
at Kingston Ave. to light a giant menorah.
[Museum admission is $10, starting Dec. 23. Tickets must be purchased in
advance, online at www.jcm.museum/tickets, beginning Dec. 7.]

Stephen Moyer & Alexander Skarsgard Want A Bill & Eric Love Scene On 'True Blood'
Stephen Moyer's currently making the publicity rounds for the NBC's live musical production of The Sound Of Music (Dec. 5), but it's no surprise that the final season of True Blood is what everyone wants to ask him about.
What is surprising is Moyer's response when asked by The Huffington Post what it is he'd like to see happen before True Blood dies the true death:
Do you have your own twisted fantasy about what you hope to happen?
Alex (Skarsgard) and I have been pushing for an Eric-Bill love scene for a long time, but they always said no. But our dream would be for my football team, West Ham United, to play his Swedish team, and would end up in some match-up that Bill and Eric happen to be able to get to.
Say what now??
Look, Stephen Moyer and Alexander Skarsgard have more than paid their dues on the show. They have worked tirelessly!
YOU GIVE THEM WHAT THEY WANT, True Blood-powers-that-be!
And while you're at it--throw Joe Manganiello, Ryan Kwanten, Sam Trammell, and Nelsan Ellis into that equation. Or really any equation that involves love scenes between the True Blood men.
Image Source
It has nothing to do with gay love scenes but with who these two characters are. Bill and Eric are natural enemies and work that way. I like them better when they are fighting. These two characters hate each other and trying to get them to be something their not ruins the story. This is something that True Blood does all the time and it is such a shame.
No no no no and no! I cannot stress it enough, why these actors have been wanting to do that is beyond me. They should know by now that most people DO NOT want two characters who are RIVALS (or supposed to be anyhow) to have that type of scene. Eric and Bill work better when they are at each others throats. Given TB has proven that it has absolutely no idea what fans are really wanting out of this show, this stupid scene will probably happen and it will have nothing to do with the main story.

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
Some Christians reject the Chosen People and maintain that the modern State of Israel is not the same as the nation of biblical times. Thus Israel's actions, and indeed its very existence, are invalid. But these people misjudge how authentically the Bible describes the life of the Jewish people at that time, and how it is still valid for Israel today!

Lee's Leahey Farm getting back into dairy business
LEE -- After a 40-year absence, the Leahey Farm is getting back into the dairy business.
Armed with a $50,000 loan from a newly created regional agricultural fund, Phil and Jen Leahey plan to erect a small, state-of-the-art dairy processing plant, to churn out fresh pasteurized bottled milk and frozen yogurt.
The fifth-generation Leaheys expect the facility to be operational in April; daily milking 10 heritage breed bovines -- Jersey and Shorthorned to start -- at the 124-year-old family farm.
The dairy products will supplement the pasture-raised meats from Devon cattle and Tamworth hogs that the farm sells directly to Berkshire markets.
"There's never been a better time to do this given the demand for locally produced food," Jen Leahey said.
"We've seen our business grow each year," Phil Leahey noted.
Seven years ago, the 40-something married couple with two young children took over the day-to-day chores of running the Leahey Farm. Established in 1889, the farm for decades milked 30 to 40 cows daily, until it dropped dairy in 1972 for financial reasons. The family has continued to raise livestock and some crops on 60 acres of their 300-acre parcel near October Mountain State Forest.
Phil and Jen Leahey say reintroducing dairy to the farm was prompted, in part, by the Lakeville, Conn.-based Salisbury Bank and the Greater Berkshire Agricultural Fund. The two entities last year announced they had teamed up to establish a loan program to help farms and food processors grow their businesses in a four-county area. Eligible businesses in Berkshire County, Litchfield County in Conn_ecticut, and Columbia and Dutchess counties in New York can apply for up to $75,000.
The Leahey Farm is the first to benefit from the local farm financing effort, with five more loan applications under review, according to Benneth Phelps, loan and outreach coordinator for the Great Berkshire Agricultural Fund.
"We chose the Leaheys because they are very motivated and have an existing land base and existing customer base," she said.
"We look forward to financing more deserving businesses," added Geof Talcott, Salisbury Bank's chief lending officer, "and having a long relationship with the Greater Berkshire Agricultural Fund."
The return to dairy farming has thrilled the elder Leaheys, including Phil's father, Jim Leahey.
"Each year there is more interest in local foods as knowing where it's produced is important," he said.
The retired veterinarian, along with Phil's uncles Maurice, Joe and aunt Betty Leahey remain active in the family business.
While adding dairy is an effort to boost the farm's bottom line, Phil Leahey said the expansion is also about preserving a way of life.
"Growing up, I saw a lot of farmland get developed," he said. "It's real emotional for me that the land stay in farming."
As for adding jobs, the Leahey Farm will remain a family affair, forgoing outside employment, for now.
"The running joke is we're hiring ourselves," Phil Leahey said.

While the CIA leak investigation has the Beltway establishment on edge, a parallel scandal of sorts is playing out in the Italian media. The story gets to the heart of the Bush administration's case for the Iraq war. So why aren't we hearing more about it? We'll talk to journalist Laura Rozen about the scandal unfolding in Italy, and what it could mean for the White House.
Also on the show: "Village Voice turns 50, merges with chain" –that dry wire service headline unfortunately does tell the story. The owners of New York's and maybe the country's preeminent alternative weekly have announced a merger with New Times Media another alternative weekly company that owns 11 papers. So what's alternative about it? We'll hear from hip hop journalist and author Jeff Chang.

Transfer news: Swansea sign Alejandro Pozuelo from Real Betis on three-year deal
Swansea have raided La Liga again to sign midfielder Alejandro Pozuelo from Real Betis on a three-year contract.
Last Updated: 02/07/13 10:08pm
The 21-year-old's arrival means Swansea now have seven Spaniards on their books, and Pozuelo told the club's official website: "That will help me to settle quickly.
"I am very happy to have joined Swansea City. Since I've been a little boy it has been my dream to play in the Premier League.
"From the moment I heard of the interest from Swansea I have watched their games and followed the news at the club. The style of the team suits me, and so too does the style of the manager.
"I am looking to improve my English immediately as I want to communicate better with my team-mates. On the pitch I just want to give everything I have to the club in order to help the team this season."
Pozuelo made 11 league appearances for Betis last season, and his arrival is unlikely to be the last at the Liberty Stadium this summer.
Jose Canas and Jordi Amat have already been brought in, and chairman Huw Jenkins has admitted an interest in Lyon striker Bafetimbi Gomis, Wilfried Bony of Vitesse Arnhem and Liverpool's Jonjo Shelvey.

Present Indiana's 2005 Projects• June 29, 2006 Share:
Did you know that one of the nation's most historic attempts at creating a utopian society was in Indiana? You may have seen the movie "Hoosiers" but do you know the real story behind the Hollywood version? And did you realize that most of the great buildings and monuments in our nation's capital were built with Indiana limestone?
The Hoosier state has a historical and cultural history rich in tradition and diversity. Present Indiana is a final step in a three-part effort to familiarize Wabash faculty, staff and students with the Hoosier state.
Wabash students, working with faculty and staff mentors, will develop and deliver a series of modules that will compose a curriculum focused on Indiana's culture. During the summer of 2005, 10 Wabash men created the first Present Indiana projects.
These video and PowerPoint presentations will be made available to a variety of audiences who will benefit from an introduction to the rich heritage and opportunities associated with living, studying and working in Indiana.
The links above right will allow you to see a summary of each project. The summaries include links that will help you learn more on each topic.
Present Indiana will serve audiences that include international students studying in Indiana, elementary and middle school students, personnel directors and small business leaders, newly relocated employees to the area, as well as new faculty and staff at Wabash College.
Present Indiana is part of a Lilly Endowment grant.

Written by James Farmer III
Porches are a classic fixture on any traditional home. Once shady places to greet neighbors and retreat from a thunderstorm, they now serve as extensions of our gardens, al fresco dining rooms, a place to cuddle next to a fire, or the perfect spot for an afternoon nap. Author, designer, gardener, cook, and all-around Southern style expert James Farmer spills his secrets to building the perfect porch from his new book, Porch Living (Gibbs Smith).
Above, a Maryland stone farmhouse affords views of the lush countryside. This porch is the perfect perch to soak up such gorgeous, bucolic views. Indoor/outdoor fabrics pair with garden collections—the colors of fresh begonias and an antique trowel and bucket harmonize with the striped pillow and cushion.
Wrought-Iron Gate
Leading the way from this home's lower porch to a grassy lawn beyond the gate, a set of bluestone steps (and in turn, porch floor) melds the two spaces well. Using the same flooring material from the garden to the porch is a surefire way to make the spaces cohesive.
Lazing Porch
A porch can definitely be more than rockers and wicker. A sofa covered in indoor/outdoor fabric makes for the ideal spot to nap, read,or enjoy a candlelit evening.
Welcoming Fireplace
Tuscan style in a Southern city, this porch boasts grand scale and thus the furnishings should as well. Large andirons project from the hearth, beckoning for a luxurious fire to be enjoyed while dining al fresco.
Sleeping Porch
With the combination of fair weather and a comfy bed, what better place is there to sleep than a sleeping porch? Be sure to feather your porch nest with your plush favorites, such as pillows and plantings that make you smile.
Porch Entertaining
Shall we gather? A square, painted wooden base and a thick square glass top make a wonderful table. Simple, stylish, and clean-lined, this porch nods to the past with warm, worn chairs and screening but embraces today with simplicity. Accents of green mimic the foliage just beyond this gracious spot.
Complementary Colors
Keeping the color scheme reminiscent of the landscape beyond—tree bark taupes and browns, earthy sand and sienna hues, garden greens and sky and aqua blues—balances the hybrid feel of a porch itself: part indoors, part outdoors.
Amazing Views
Take in the view: A sweeping vista seen through a large window leads you outward from the porch and visually connects the landscape to the porch proper. With marsh views and a deepwater dock just down the pier, today's fresh catch may certainly become tonight's supper!

Dining Table Details
Taking elements from nature—such as shells and petals—and weaving them around a hurricane lantern makes a great centerpiece.
Festive Porch Entertaining
Island chic is de rigueur for this coastal Georgia porch. An artful mix and playful pattern make this the ideal spot for porch living!
Porch Living Space
An earthy palette and seasonal delights set the theme for this bucolic porch. Native stone and timbers add ambience and set the tone for the architecture.
Dining Al Fresco
Flowers from the garden bedeck the table, while colors from nature inspire the setting for this porch. Views into the landscape invite you to linger at the table and take in the lovely surroundings.
Color Connections
Simplicity can be so elegant. Painting the floor and furnishings all the same shade gives a cool, monochromatic depth to any porch, and allows for the porch to blend into the garden beyond.

Another "thank you" in order
Two serious accidents and fires, one in Amityville and the other in Massapequa, took place within the past two weeks. At both, the response, professionalism and commitment of our local firefighters was outstanding and must be recognized.
