The Infiniti Q45 is a full-size luxury sedan manufactured by Nissan Motors under its Infiniti brand from 1990 to 2006. Nissan manufactures the car at the Tochigi plant in Japan and exports it to the United States.
The generations of the Infiniti Q45 until 1997 draw from Nissan's flagship sedan in the Japanese market, the President. Models produced after 1997 through the end of production in 2006, pull from the smaller Nissan car, the Cima. The Infiniti Q45 sells as a direct competitor to the BMW 7 Series, Mercedes Benz S-Class, and Lexus LS.
Exports of the Infiniti Q45 to the United States stopped after 2006, and Nissan replaced the car with the redesigned Infiniti M sedans.
The Infiniti Q45 set many precedents for Infiniti and luxury sedans in general. First, the Infiniti brand debuted in the United States with the Q45 in 1990, along with the M30. Second, the Infiniti Q45 became the first rear-wheel drive luxury sedan in the U.S. market produced by a Japanese company, which directly competed with the European sport sedans.
The Infiniti Q45 was a worthy competitor too; it won critical acclaim for its powerful engine, firm suspension, responsive transmission, warm cabin, and overall refined look and feel. However, the sales rate was relatively poor compared to its competitors and even other Japanese models. Nissan can attribute the lack of popular response to several factors, including the bad advertising campaign during the initial stages, the understated and sometimes bland styling, and the lack of awareness or trust in the brand.
The second generation tried to address the comfort issues in the first one, but it ended up sacrificing performance. Infiniti then returned with a third generation of performance-centric Infiniti Q45s. Sales picked up, but they were never great. Nissan eventually discontinued the Q45 to make way for the M sedans because the latter had better performance, suspension, interior, and ergonomics.
The 2006 Infiniti Q45 is part of the third generation and has a powerful V-8 engine strapped under its hood. The engine delivers a whopping 340 hp of power coupled to a smooth five-speed automatic transmission gearbox. The 2006 model carries the same signature Gatling gun-type HID headlights introduced with the third generation in 2002. The exterior styling is also sharper and more detailed than the previous generations.
The Infiniti Q45 provides a spacious interior. The cabin flaunts plenty of wood elements, as well as brushed aluminum accents and leather touches. The instrument cluster is quite simple and goes well with the dash. Passenger space remains good at the front and rear, and the driver's seat offers power adjustment. The steering wheel tilts and telescopes to accommodate the driver's preference. The clumsy interface, however, leaves a black mark on an otherwise good interior.
The 2006 Infiniti Q45 comes in a Sport variant that offers sport suspension tuning, active rear steering, and 19-inch alloy wheels. Bluetooth connectivity and a lane-departure warning system also come as optional features, exclusively for the Premium package of the 2006 Infiniti Q45.
The Infiniti Q45 launched in 1989 as a 1990 model in the United States. The car received positive reviews, and special note was made of its performance. The 4.5-liter V-8 engine underneath the hood makes the Infiniti Q45 go from zero to 60 mph in 6.7 seconds, which buyers find exceptional for its class. The car also has good handling capabilities. Its engine delivers 278 hp and 292 lb-ft of torque.
The Infiniti Q45 comes in three variants: Q45a, Q45t, and base. The first two variants use multi-link suspensions on both front and rear wheels, have a stabilizer bar at the rear, and a slightly smaller sway bar at the front. Other features found in these variants include BBS alloy wheels and four-wheel steering. The car's styling is unconventional for its class, but it does not appeal to many customers. The most negative elements in the styling include the grille and the lack of chrome or wood trim in the interior.
Nissan based the first generation Infiniti Q45 on the Nissan President, but the second one draws on the Nissan Cima. The company exported to the U.S. beginning in 1997, and Infiniti incorporated feedback from the last generation by making the appearance more conventional. The engine downsizes to a 4.1-liter V-8, which results in poor performance. The suspension also changes to struts in front for greater comfort. However, sales did not pick up until the brand redesigned the vehicle completely for the 2002 model year.
2005 Infiniti Q45
Luxury, Sedan
When the 2005 Infiniti Q45 premiered at the New York International Auto Show, the manufacturer called it a redefined premium luxury sedan.
2004 Infiniti Q45
Infiniti succeeded in its goal to create a Japanese option to the midsize German luxury sedans that seemed to dominate the market.
2003 Infiniti Q45
2002 Infiniti Q45
The Infiniti Q45 made its debut at the 2000 New York Auto Show and the North American International Auto Show in Detroit.
2001 Infiniti Q45
The 2001 Infiniti Q45 represents just over 10 years of the Q45 in the American market, and its enduring presence comes with good reason.
2000 Infiniti Q45
The 2000 Infiniti Q45's release coincided with the 10th year of its production.
1999 Infiniti Q45
The 1999 Infiniti Q45 is a rear-drive sedan in its second generation.
1998 Infiniti Q45
The 1998 Infiniti Q45 marks the flagship model for this prestigious auto manufacturer.
1997 Infiniti Q45
The 1997 Infiniti Q45 is the flagship model for this prestigious auto manufacturer.
1996 Infiniti Q45
The underdog in terms of sales among luxury sedans, the 1996 Infiniti Q45 offers an impressive list of excellent standard features in keeping with the competition.
1995 Infiniti Q45
The 1995 Infiniti Q45 produces plenty of power under the hood and a ton of luxury inside and outside.

At this point, I have several thousand serious DNA matches. No, they are not all close matches, but if I examine the family trees closely enough, the link is usually evident. But there are a few surnames that keep showing up in my matches that just don't compute. For instance, the surnames of Cox, Manning, and Wilson appear in numerous family trees as ancestors of individuals who share my DNA. But I don't have a clue, at least not at this point, about my familial relationship with these ancestors. One of the ongoing problems with evaluating these "cousin" matches resulting from Ancestry's DNA tests is that so many of the individuals with whom I match don't have much family information posted on the site for review. However, one thing is for certain, if the cousin matches keep arriving by the dozens, as they have since my test results arrived, I may indeed match up with all 1,011,001 of my relatives!

GOVHU, South Africa (Reuters) - "Big brother Roger," as the village schoolteachers call him, smiles at the small children and asks them to guess which sport he plays.
Most of the bright-eyed three-year-olds have no idea who their visitor is but one, quicker than the rest, pipes up: "You play tennis!".
Delighted, Roger Federer turns his palms up to reveal a badly calloused right hand punished by 23 years of holding a racquet, showing the children the difference from the smoother left one.
There are few parts of the world where the man considered as the greatest ever tennis player and holder of a record 17 grand slam titles is not instantly recognized.
Here, in rural South Africa where he is visiting one of the village pre-schools his charitable foundation supports, the Swiss is unfamiliar to the children but commands their attention and curiosity.
In a small, cool, classroom, the toddlers sheltering from the heat stand with heads tipped upwards and eyes fixed on the towering champion as he hits a tennis ball against a wall, demonstrating how to swing a racquet.
Federer looks composed in the sweltering heat of Limpopo province, on the border with Zimbabwe, even though his bright red shirt, wet with sweat by noon, gives him away.
Deep in the densely vegetated village some 20 kilometers from the nearest paved road, the ground is parched and dust flies into the air as brightly-costumed Venda women dance to entertain their world-famous guest.
"My heart is in South Africa, through my mum," Federer, the son of a Swiss father and a South African mother, told Reuters.
"My mum being from here, me spending a lot of time here as well, I feel most connected to this part of the world."
The Roger Federer Foundation supports 40 pre-schools in the area and spends over $3 million a year on educational projects in South Africa, Botswana, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Malawi, Ethiopia and Federer's home country Switzerland. Over 50,000 children benefited from the foundation's efforts in 2012 to improve quality education in pre-schools and primary schools.
"When I travelled the world, I definitely saw poor countries, people who told me it was so hard for them to get an education," said Federer, who was visiting two pre-schools in the Limpopo province with his mother this week to mark the 10th anniversary of his foundation being founded.
"I always liked the idea of education because in our world going to school is the most normal thing in the world. We sometimes forget what a privilege it is, to go to school."
South Africa has a broken education system, inherited from decades of inferior education for the majority black population under the apartheid system.
Nineteen years into democracy and the new government is still overwhelmed by the task, with some high-school leavers managing pass rates of only 30 percent.
In this place, a decent education remains beyond the reach of many children and some 80 percent of the community is unemployed, the village chief's representative said.
For a man who has earned close to $80 million in prize money alone thanks to his exploits on a tennis court, Federer has never forgotten the value of a good education.
Federer admits he did not always do his best at school, saying: "I used to have many more regrets when I was younger, because I was a bit crazy.
"At school, I wouldn't always learn for my tests as much as I should have. I think that's why today I'm so dedicated to both things, so people don't do the same mistakes as I did, even though I was able to turn the corner in time."
The father of twin daughters, Federer added: "I like to be an idol for kids, I do. For me it's important to be a good role model and I live accordingly.
"But I'm not changing for it, I do it because I believe in it and because it is natural."
During his three-hour visit to the pre-school in Govhu, Federer held a captive audience as he read the story of the 'Gingerbread Man' out to the 30 or so children who sat around him.
As his visit comes to an end, Federer leaves with the words of the village school principal echoing in his ears: "If it is possible, please, come back to us again."

Why don't most companies care? They pretend they do but they don't really because the CEO is not passionate about it.
I spoke to an ex-Amazon employee the other day and he was telling me how focused Jeff Bezos was about customer satisfaction. It needs to come from the CEO and be repeated all the time. If the rest of the company realizes how important it is to the CEO, then they will adopt the same attitude. Customers, customers, customers.
Let me show you an email I received this morning from a customer of Nimsoft….I have hundreds of these but this one I think wrapped it all up in a single email – these guys were customers for ours for nearly 8 years!
As much as I hate to see you leave Nimsoft (and I do!), I'm excited to see what you will excel at next, as I have no doubt you will do.
When you and Paul first visited us here at XXX back in January, 2003 (I still have the original e-mails!), I must say that I was a bit skeptical of installing software from a company named after a sneaker, but you delivered on your promises and then some, and Nimsoft soon became (and continues to be) a mission critical piece of our company's IT toolbox. So much so in fact, that I've never hesitated in recommending Nimsoft to colleagues. And as your company grew, evolved, and thankfully changed names, I was always greatly appreciative of your keeping customer satisfaction in the forefront of your business decisions. I hope CA continues that model.
Perhaps you should branch out into the telecommunications or utility business and take your customer-centric vision to them? Imagine the positive revolution AT&T, PG&E, or Comcast would experience if they were to put their customers first the way you always did! My God, you could change the world!
Regardless of the direction life takes you, my hat is off to you, Gary! All the best in your new endeavors!
Hope you keep in touch.
P.S. Feel free to friend me on Facebook if you would like

About pferland
As with all licenses, you will run into that issue.
its up to the 'creator' to research the matreials that they used and make sure that they are not interfeiring
IMHO I hate the term licenses, it makes it seem as if you have no control over anything.
You forgot my all-time favorite, Expo Markers
that and the volume of the commercials are the same as the show itself
I don't see how it can get any worse...
Then again everyone says the same about PETA and then they go and dress up like the KKK...
you missed the point, Apple doesn't let anyone touch their hardware or anything that has to relate to an Apple Computer. Where as Google lets you enjoy the best of it.
I think its more of an oxymoron then anything else
I like the MS Office Communcations Server, it logs everything if you tell it to, on the server side and on the client side. also has lots of other options for file transfers, video conf, phone conf and more
What is 1,000 lawyers at the bottom of the ocean?
A good start..
What is 1,000,000 lawyers at the bottom of the ocean?
A fuckin great start..
with charter, if you have digital cable they charge you per TV
go get 'em boys
Dear Parents: Due to yesterday's unscheduled field trip to the Auto wrecking yard, the school bus will be out of commision for 2 weeks. By reading this letter out loud, you have waived any legal responsibilty on our part in perpertuity throughout the universe.
That is not was Apple is, they don't let the user decide at all. Their products are targeted towards the user that doesn't know / care to know how to use something.
I find it amazing that the public doesn't do this more, when i was in the military (even state side) they showed movies that weren't coming out for at least another month or so.
mmmm beer
i live out in souther mass and its all hills here, so cell signals are hard to come by in the middle of a cow town
Pun intended?
i agree, but the MS fanboys need to be there so that someone can use the OS and test it, or break it. If it werent for the Fanboys, no OS would ever be used the day after it was released.(and by used i mean on a daily basis not just trying it out and saying.. hmm its ok)

Sometimes, all it takes is an honest conversation to be reminded of the power and courage of so many of our country's students. Earlier this month, the White House Initiative on Educational Excellence for Hispanics convened 10 Hispanic young men from the Denver area to sit down with U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan, Colorado Lt. Governor Joe Garcia, Metropolitan State University (MSU) of Denver President Stephen Jordan, and a few other guests, to have just that – an honest conversation.
The roundtable was held at MSU Denver. The young men were students at MSU Denver or at area high schools, and they shared stories about their lives, the challenges they have faced and overcome, the supports that have helped them through, and the things they believe need to be changed or improved to help more Hispanics and other young men of color succeed.
Many of the high school students are regular participants in activities with Padres y Jovenes Unidos, a nonprofit organization that seeks to improve educational equity for Denver students. They shared their experiences around issues like school discipline and need for mentorships. In the video below, you'll see that the conversation was powerful and moving. It provided insight into how we as a society need to support young men of color, and reminded us of the potential that exists in them.
Marco Davis is Deputy Director for the White House Initiatives on Educational Excellence for Hispanics
President Obama launched the My Brother's Keeper initiative to address persistent opportunity gaps faced by boys and young men of color and ensure that all young people can reach their full potential. Learn more at www.whitehouse.gov/my-brothers-keeper.

Nissan Titan XD: Roadtrip and tailgate in style
NASHVILLE, Tenn. —
There's nothing like spending 16 hours in a vehicle to give you a sense of how comfortable it is to drive – or ride in.
I recently took the 2017 Nissan Titan XD on a road trip from Chicago to Nashville, and while I've spent time in the Titan XD previously, spending two full days in this pickup truck shed new light.
First, let me say that my husband loved almost everything about the Titan XD. I made the mistake of allowing him to take first shift on our drive out, and he wouldn't give up the wheel.
He loved the Zero Gravity seats and the power of the 390-horspower, V-8 Endurance gasoline engine. He had a good driving position and excellent visibility out all windows. He also appreciated that all the gauges and controls were intuitive and easy to reach.
One thing he didn't like – which is something I've pointed out previously – is the over-large shift stalk attached to the steering column. It's long and thick, and it tends to block HVAC and audio control on the center stack.
After three stops where he refused to hand over the keys, I gave up and realized that I'd have to wrest the keys from the valet for the first shift on the way back to Chicago. So, I settled in to the passenger seat and took a nap.
As a passenger, I found that I loved the heated reclining front seats, which went almost flat.
What I didn't love: There's only one USB port. Which my husband and I fought over. For 16 hours. I finally pulled a charging brick out of my backpack so we didn't have to jockey for ownership of the coveted port.
As a driver, I had a curious reversal of opinion. Previously, I found the Titan XD to be "overall comfortable." But I guess that's what happens when you spend short bursts of time behind the wheel.
When I finally managed to take over driving, I did initially find the Titan XD to be comfortable. It's easy to maneuver on the highway and fairly comfortable over varying road surfaces.
We took a detour to the Maker's Mark distillery, which took us on some seriously curvy and narrow back roads. The Titan XD handled everything very competently.
However, my back hurt.
The seat bottoms are too long for someone of a petite stature, and I found after a couple hours behind the wheel the seats were not comfortable. My feet dangled a bit with my height-adjusted driving position, and since I had to hook my knees over the edge of the seat bottom, my lower back didn't have the advantage of lumbar support. So, while the Titan XD is comfy for the shorter drives, it was not – for me – after about an hour and a half.
Because the Titan XD has a gross vehicle weight rating of more than 8,500 pounds, it isn't subject to EPA fuel economy testing, but after more than 1,000 miles of mostly highway driving, we averaged about 14.1 mpg. I thought that was fairly decent for the size of the vehicle and the fact that my husband likes to exceed the speed limit.
For comparison, when I drove the diesel version of the Titan XD last year, I averaged 15.5 mpg.
Aside from the driving aspects, there's a lot of good stuff on the Titan XD that make it excellent for work or play.
Part of the road trip included tailgating before a Tennessee Titans game at Nissan Stadium.
We spent time with Billy Hayes, division vice president of Trucks, LCV and South/Mountain Regions for Nissan North America, who pointed out several available features that make the Titan perfect for tailgating including:
- Titan Boxes – creates water-tight storage that can be drained, act as a cooler, holding ice and beverages.
- 120V power outlet in the cabin and bed – can plug in anything from a coffee maker to a margarita mixer.
- Bed Step – grants easy access to the truck bed with a simple step.
- Innovative cup holders – larger sizes hold big beverages.
- LED bed lighting – creates some ambience for after-dark parties.
- Dampened tailgate – prevents tailgate from opening too swiftly, which could cause injury.
- Rockford Fosgate 12-speaker system – adds a premium sound system for music or game highlights.
Titan XD is available in S, SV, Pro-4X, SL and Platinum Reserve trims, which gives you options ranging from basic to lux-level. It also has the option of Single, King and Crew cabs, with the bed length changing depending on which cab you select.
The test vehicle was a Pro-4X model, which is designed to go off road. It was a King Cab and sports features such as all-terrain off-road tires, Bilstein shocks, electronic locking rear differential, skid plates and hill decent control. It can also tow up to 10,830 pounds and has a maximum payload of 2,340 pounds.
While base price for the Titan XD is $31,590, the Pro-4X model starts at $45,440.
The test vehicle added all the pricey packages, which included things like the audio package with tailgate illumination, leather seats, heated and cooled front seats, Titan Boxes, memory seating positions and the around-view monitor. As-tested price rang in at $52,935.
The bottom line
The Titan XD is big. Really, really big. But with the around-view camera display, blind-spot monitoring and large side mirrors, it's actually quite manageable. That being said, it did not fit in my city garage – it was too long. And I did usually end up taking a parking spot and a quarter when I went to the gym or grocery store.
It's mostly comfortable for the long haul, but I found as a petite female, the driver's seat wasn't as comfortable as the passenger seat. My 5-foot-8-inch husband, however, loved the seating position. So, if this is going to be a his-and-hers purchase, make sure both parties spend a lot of time in the driver's seat before signing on the dotted line.
Editor's Note: Driving impressions in road-trip review are from an invitation-only automaker event that allowed special access to the vehicle and executives. Nissan covered our accommodations, meals and gasoline.

Our View Opportunity from Chaos
It often takes dire situations for things to change.
At other times, dire situations fuel more of the kind of negativity that was partially responsible for the failures in the first place.
But within chaos lies opportunity.
Mammoth Lakes is slowly emerging out of a nightmare of a winter. We just want to put this winter behind us and focus on the future.
But in order for Mammoth Lakes to a.) emerge out of this lull and b.) to thrive and succeed in subsequent years, things need to change.
Attitude is on top of the list.
Attitude has a big impact and—unfortunately—it is usually the factor that's left out of the equation and ignored. It seems trivial among discussions of budget cuts, layoffs, and a $42 million lawsuit judgment.
But attitude matters.
It's often the only factor that matters in producing any positive change—and Mammoth Lakes needs all the positivity it can get.
What residents in Mammoth Lakes (and Mono County, really) have to realize is that they live in a tourist economy.
We all do.
Regardless of your title, your career, your company, or if you're unemployed, we are all responsible for representing our resort destination to those who come visit and spend their dollars.
It's no news the most important factor to a successful resort town is good customer service.
Where we live, attitude matters.
This responsibility is placed on every single one of us 24 hours a day, seven days a week, whether you like it or not.
For starters, this lingering attitude of "putting in your time in order to be accepted as a part of the Mammoth Lakes community" needs to stop.
We live here for various reasons, but none of us can survive if we continually shut people out because they haven't lived here long enough.
Attitude matters.
Times are tough. And these times will surely swing this way around here again in the future. It's how we handle it when it inevitably comes that'll make all the difference.
Our suggestion is for the residents of Mammoth Lakes—whether you're a business owner, a working resident, or a community member—to drop the negativity and take every opportunity it can out of this chaotic winter to actively, creatively and energetically engage in our community, ensuring the success of our future.
If we don't, we will never be the resort town we have the potential to be.

Assemblyman John Ceretto joined Gov. Andrew Cuomo, State Sen. George Maziarz, Niagara Falls Mayor Paul Dyster and other local officials today to announce the approval of the Hamister hotel project in downtown Niagara Falls. The hotel represents a $25.3 million investment in the future of the city.
Ceretto's camp said this is a major step to attract additional development to Niagara Falls and transform it into a world-class tourist destination.
"This was a very good day for Niagara Falls. The Hamister hotel project is a major win for the city and its residents," Ceretto said. "This approval means that jobs will be created in the construction of the hotel and in the opening of the hotel. I am happy for the people of Niagara Falls who will see great benefits from this project. This is a big step forward for the revitalization of Niagara Falls."
The Hamister project has been the subject of major controversy, as it has been held up by concerns from the Niagara Falls City Council. Ceretto made phone calls and worked with the governor and other public officials to bring all sides to the table. He was able to help reconcile the differences between the parties involved and figure out an agreement that brings jobs and economic development to Niagara Falls.
"Let's shine a light on the Hamister project and recognize that it is a beacon to draw additional development to the Falls," Ceretto said. "Gov. Cuomo identified this as a crucial project that is necessary to move the revitalization of Niagara Falls forward. When the governor saw the approval process floundering, he personally took action to save it, proving his commitment to making Niagara Falls a world-class tourist destination."

Intact mushroom and mycophagous rove beetle in Burmese amber leak early evolution of mushrooms
Mushrooms are common, conspicuous and morphologically diverse fungi. Most agaricomycete fruiting bodies are ephemeral, so they are extremely rare in fossils. Up to now, all described species of gilled mushrooms, or agaricales, have been known exclusively from amber.
|Ecological reconstructions of Cretaceous mushrooms and mycophagous beetles [Credit: Cai et al.]
The remaining three species are known from 20-million-year-old early Miocene Dominican amber. Evidence indicating the origin and early diversification of Agaricomycetes is very limited.
Recently, a research team led by Prof. HUANG Diying from Nanjing Institute of Geology and Palaeontology (NIGPAS) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences reported a diversity of gilled mushrooms and mycophagous rove beetles from Burmese amber, the latter belonging to Oxyporinae, modern members of which exhibit an obligate association with soft-textured mushrooms. The results were published in Nature Communications.
|Diverse mycophagous oxyporine rove beetles [Credit: Cai et al.]
More interestingly, the mouthparts of these early oxyporine rove beetles, including enlarged mandibles and greatly enlarged apical labial palpomeres with dense specialized sensory organs, match those of modern taxa and indicate a mushroom feeding habit.
The diverse and morphologically specialized oxyporine beetles had also appeared by the Early Cretaceous, some 125 million years ago. Their finding displays an ancient ecological community assembling diverse mushrooms and beetles and established on specialized trophic interaction by this early date.

Costa Rica Lifts Ban on Gay Blood
Feb 9, 2008
Costa Rica Lifts Ban on Gay Blood Donations August 13, 2007 by Dylan Vox
Los Angeles, CA - The United States is still under the antiquated rule that gay men are not allowed to donate blood because of the risk of spreading infectious disease. This month, Costa Rica showed that they might be a few steps ahead of us as President Oscar Arias signed an executive order to lift their ban.
Earlier this year, despite a recommendation from the American Red Cross and other blood sources, the FDA refused to lift the American ban on blood donations from gay people. The Red Cross has criticized the policy as "medically and scientifically unwarranted," but the US Government felt that the risk of introducing HIV and AIDS into the blood supply was still too much of a risk to recall the lifetime ban.
Activist Alberto Cabezas, who led the drive to lift the ban in Costa Rica, saw his work come to fruition this month when Arias signed the order which would again allow gays to donate blood. Cabezas said that the action proved that the government "sees gays as humans [who] have the same rights" as others.
Since the first out break of HIV in the 70's, many countries have banned blood donations from men who have had sex with other men. Even though any group is at risk, and in some cases more at risk than homosexuals, the ban on gays has become commonplace. Gay rights groups have fought to lift the US ban stating that the practice was discriminatory.
Gay rights advocate Peter Tatchell explained that the ban on gay blood donors "is based on the assumption that all homosexual and bisexual men are 'high risk' for HIV," and that the "policy seems to reflect homophobic prejudices, not medical facts."
The hope is that Costa Rica will set a precedent for other countries to follow.

Expert Advice
HOW-TO: Kristen Stewart's Feathered Fishtail Braid
Actress Kristen Stewart's twisted raffia braid is easy to achieve and looks amazing for special occasions, whether it be a day or evening event," says Doreen Guarneri, co-creator of American Culture brands and co-owner of The Look Spa Salon, American Culture Premiere Institute, Greenlawn, NY.
Try it: "To add texture, spray hair with Simply Smooth xtend between dry shampoo through the interior and near the scalp as well as down the strands, tousling hair with your fingers to leave it loose and messy," she says. "Take a section from the ears to the back of the head and flip hair loosely into three sections. Twist hair into a French braid, and as you follow the technique down the length of the hair use a light twist, keeping them frayed. It may help to keep pomade nearby, dispersing it into the hair with your fingers to help keep the frayed texture. Fasten with a hair tie and wrap hair around it for disguise."

Saturday marks the third and final round of the group stage matches for Group A of the Confederations Cup held in Brazil.
So far we have seen some good football being played in what is an epic clash of continental champions.
Perhaps the best match so far has been Italy's 4-3 win over Japan - a seven-goal thriller which will be remembered as one of the Confederations Cup great games.
Group A, however, is in the bag for both Italy and hosts Brazil, who have shown promise not seen since the World Cup-winning squad of 2002.
This weekend Mexico will play Japan, and Italy face Brazil, in two matches that hold little meaning besides footballing pride.
Brazil will seek to defeat a shaky Italian side, but the Azzurri's defence might be able to put a stop to the powerful Brazilian attack led by Barcelona bound Neymar and Zenit's crowd favourite Hulk.
To put it simply, Brazil need to outmuscle Italy's midfield - a task the Japanese showed is very possible and only made easier by Brazil's home advantage.
Javier 'Chicharito' Hernandez will be looking to add to his goal-tally after Spain's Fernando Torres and David Villa netted a total of seven goals between them in a dominant La Roja display against Tahiti in Group B – putting them in the top scorer positions for the tournament and leaving the Manchester United striker in the bottom half of the top scorer charts alongside Luis Suarez.
The Celeste striker has not performed as well as expected of him. The South American champions were expected to baffle defences and entertain fans with their powerful strike-force of Edinson Cavani, Luis Suarez and veteran Diego Forlan.
Uruguay's current point tally of three argues otherwise. With a goal difference of zero, Nigeria sitting on a three point total with a +4 goal difference, have more reason to pull off a footballing miracle against the world champions on Sunday.
Group B's future, however, could be decided by underdogs Tahiti. If the Super Eagles manage a win over Spain by one goal and Tahiti keep Uruguay's score line at four or less – and maybe even net a couple themselves – they might just keep the South American champions out of the knock-out stages and we could see an unexpected Nigerian side into the final stages with Spain.
Group B is set to be decided on Sunday, and Group A concludes its final matches tomorrow night.

The good weather is finally upon us and I would like to do a sponsored dog walk with fellow cavaliertalk members in aid of Rupert's Fund sometime in May or June. What do you think fellow Irish Cavaliertalk peeps?
I'll organize it myself (already discussed a bit with Nicki). I would like at least one Dublin volunteer to help me with a place/territory to do the walking.
Or... we could do a simultaneous walk in Cork for people on that side of the country...
Or... we could do a simultaneous walk in Dublin, Cork and parts of England and Scotland! Maybe that's too big of an idea, I don't know.
Please let me know your thoughts and opinions here. Thanks very much.

April 2011 Your JeepPosted in How To on April 1, 2011
Beefy Bracket
In the story "Coil Sprung Sundries" (Nov. '10) there's a picture in the middle of the page with a heavy-duty sway bar bracket. Was this custom made or can you buy them somewhere? I need two for the setup I'm running.
Jim Migielski
Carlsbad, NM If you're talking about the bracket welded to the axle housing, I believe that's a Rubicon Express bracket for a TJ/XJ application.
JK Clear-View
I can't seem to find any aftermarket wipers for my '07 Rubicon, like the new PIAAs listed in the Jan. '11 issue. I have looked and looked and can't locate any at all in the correct 15-inch size. Everyone with decent wipers starts at 16-inch sizes. Why is that? Please direct me to something that will help me see clearly again

Willys Mini-Starter
Just bought a '53 CJ-3A with Go-Devil engine and I need to find a starter. I took the old starter to a rebuild shop and they can't find an armature for it. Are there any starters that might be used in its place? The Jeep has been converted to a 12-volt system already.
Steve Bowen
Via email
You can use the starter from a '64-'83 Toyota 4.2L, Nippondenso PN 02800-2362/4. It's a very compact 12-volt unit and has the same bolt pattern as the original L-head starter.
Some bolt right on with no issues. Some require very gentle grinding of the aluminum starter case (just the protrusive nub around the armature gear) to fit flush with the bellhousing. Or, you may have to do some very minor elongation of the mounting bolt hole(s). Either modification could be performed with a flat or round hand file. The Toyota is a good high-torque alternative to a remanufactured L-head part, which was originally designed to work with the Willy's 6-volt system. The Nippondenso will have a 9-tooth gear while the original is a 10-tooth, but the teeth will still mesh with the flywheel. It's only a difference of the starter's gear ratio.
Dakota Bells
Just a quick question: is there a reason you went with the Advance Adapters conversion plate to hook up the AX15 to your 2.5L as opposed to using the Dodge Dakota bellhousing?
Greg Williams
Via email
On the whole, I find the Dakota bellhousing is kind of hard to come by in some areas. I looked for a while but couldn't locate one for myself nearby. I did find two in the Midwest and one on the east coast, but the sellers wanted half of what the Advance Adapters kit cost and then I'd still need to convert to an external throwout bearing setup. True, it's a much better setup, but it adds even more money to the "junkyard" conversion. Plus, I haven't had good luck in the past buying drivetrain components and having them shipped. I almost always receive damaged goods. In the end, using Advance Adapters for my story just covers a wider range of people since anybody can buy a kit for their 2.5L Wrangler or Cherokee, no matter where they are.
Full-Size Building
I need help with some project planning on my '79 Wagoneer. Right now it has 4-inch lift, 35-inch BFG MTs with a Lock-Rite in the rear, 360 engine, TH400 tranny, and Quadra-Trac T-case. I have a limited budget so I'm trying to do it one step at a time. I'd like to start with a part-time T-case. I think my only option without changing to a centered rear diff is to run a Spicer 18. Would that be strong enough for this size truck used for trails up and moderate rock crawling in Arizona? If the Spicer 18 isn't strong enough then my next choice is a NP205 and rear diff upgrade to a Dana 60. I think a rear diff from a J20 with a Dana 20 T-case would be close to a bolt-in. I also am going to change from 3.54 to 4.56 gears, so it seems like my T-case will determine if I change gears in the Dana 44 or upgrade to Dana 60. Once I figure that out does the Quadra-Trac TH400 have a 10-spline output shaft and is it the same as a four-speed NP205? Thanks for any help.
Chuck Croegaert
Phoenix, AZ
The output shaft of your TH400 is a super-long, 10-spline unit. Other than using a Spicer 18 with a 10-spline input gear, there really aren't many alternatives for getting rid of your Quadra-Trac that don't involve tearing your TH400 apart to swap the output shaft. The GM SM420 and SM465 used a 10-spline output shaft, but with a different diameter and a different T-case-to-tranny adapter than what you have. You just can't bolt on an NP205. I don't think I'd trust a Spicer 18 in an FSJ with 35s that actually gets wheeled. Put it this way: I swapped one out of my 3,000lb flattie for a Dana 300.
Given the high cost of adapters and considering you want to stay on a budget I'd consider yanking a TF727 from an '80-up FSJ. This will get you an automatic transmission with a more-common 23-spline output shaft. Since your front diff is on the passenger-side you could use an '80s Dodge NP208 or if you can find one, an NP241. I forget the exact crossover year from 208-241, but Dodge used the NP241 in its 1/2- and 3/4-ton trucks from about 1986 or 1987 until 1991. These T-cases will bolt to the 727 and could be found in the junkyard. They're strong and have a 2.61 or 2.72 Low ratio, respectively. You could also run a Dana 300, but in my opinion the aluminum chain-drive Dodge T-case will give you fewer problems.
You've probably got enough wheelbase to sport the offset rear with a centered T-case for a while. If you get lucky, you may find a complete Dodge donor truck and could yank the T-case and axles in one fell swoop. Dodge used 3.23 or 3.55 gears in most of its 1/2-ton pickups from '80-'91. The 3/4-ton trucks got 4.10s.

I follow your articles in Jp on a regular basis and enjoy them. I don't question them merely because I don't know enough about mechanics to critique the topic, but I do enjoy the projects you've brought to life. However, I do have a question regarding "Against the Grain" in the June '10 issue, in which you suggested regarding the Jeep 134-cube F-Head, "If you want power in your L-head-powered flattie, why not be different and slap a 2.2L Chrysler turbo on your head, add a Pertronix electronic ignition, and one-barrel TBI injection."
OK, you've got my ear and curiosity! I've got a '52 CJ-3A with the Go-Devil in it. Could you tell me more? What parts do I need? What kind of performance enhancement can I expect? And lastly, will my engine compartment with the original engine retain any of its ambience and spaciousness?
Peter Cederlof
Calgary, Alberta Canada
Jeez, man. Your guess is as good as mine. In the past my buddy Verne Simons (former Jp Feature Editor) put a Petronix ignition and 1bbl Holley Pro-Jection TBI on his flattie's L-head. It didn't do a ton for the power, but it did help the drivability over his old points distributor and gluggy carb. I routinely see turbo Chrysler cars in the junkyard. I don't see how it would be a terrible job to build a custom exhaust flange for the little 2.2L turbo, feed it an oil line, and build some ducting to feed the TBI. As long as you keep the boost down around 4-5psi (which is pretty low in the turbo world) I don't see it causing any detonation or other fueling issues. You could even use a 2bbl Motorcraft carb on a custom adapter plate (you'd need to build it yourself out of a chunk of aluminum-no biggie) if you didn't want to pop for a Pro-Jection.
In the end it'd probably only cost a couple hundred bucks. Far less than a 134 F-head rebuild. But as for a parts list, sorry- I don't have one. There may be a guy or two on the web site earlycj5.com or perhaps somebody will chime in on jpmagazine.com or write in to me with some knowledge about it. I know a few guys have messed with or have at least heard about guys messing with turbo installs on their F-heads in early CJ-5/CJ-6 Jeeps. Perhaps one of them could expound on this for you.
I have a '00 Wrangler Sahara I bought new. I did nothing to it until about one year ago. I added a 4-inch lift, 33x12.50 mud terrains, and a Smittybilt rear bumper with tire carrier. I recently added a K&N intake, an after-cat exhaust and E3 spark plugs. It runs great and the mileage improved. I want to keep it a daily driver, but would like to begin upgrading for better off-road performance. It has a 4.0L engine with a manual transmission, a Dana 30 in the front and a Dana 35 in the rear, both with the factory 3.07 gears. I probably can't afford to do everything at once but I would like to do a quality upgrade, so what would you suggest?
Randy Rallis
Wichita Falls, TX
That's a pretty good start on a dual-purpose Wrangler. I think you've made some wise upgrades so far.
As for future upgrades, I'd say your two or three hot buttons should be:
1-Body/Undercarriage Armor: I really like the Kilby Enterprises TJ armor, but I realize it's somewhat expensive. If you're looking to go cheap, other companies manufacture less-expensive rocker guard armor, or you could scour on-line ads to find a set of Rubicon take-off armor. The factory Rubicon armor is actually pretty good for moderate off-roading in rocks. I'd also look into a good fuel-tank skid plate and maybe a skid for the engine oil pan. Again, Kilby makes a nice fuel tank skid. Several companies also offer them, so hit Google to find some others if you're comparative shopping.
2-Recovery: It's nice to be able to get out of what you get into. A decent winch with an 8,000-9,500lb rating can be mounted in conjunction with your factory front bumper or you can look for a front bumper with an integrated winch mount. There's no getting around the quality of a Warn, Ramsey, or even Superwinch winch. MileMarker is ok as well. And Smittybilt makes a pretty decent winch at a crazy-low price. Check jpmagazine.com for the story "Affordable Winch Review" for a little more info on winches costing less than $700 and contact information for the winch companies listed above. Of those, the Tabor is far and away my favorite. It's the winch that's currently sitting on the bumper of my YJ.
3-Axles/Gearing: Here's the hard pill to swallow. For 33s I'd recommend 4.56 gears if you want to retain your freeway cruising ability. If you think you may eventually step up to 35s or even 37s, I'd go straight for the 4.88 gears. There's no sense in doing it twice and the 4.0L will live all day long spinning at 3,000rpm on the freeway. That said, I wouldn't put any money into the stock axles and here's why. For starters, you'll be looking at nearly $2,500-$3,000 to regear your front axle, equip it with a locker and upgraded alloy axleshafts. You can buy a Cherokee high-pinion front axle and build that up to install in your TJ and have a much better ring and pinion than the factory low-pinion TJ front axle. Or, look into buying a Currie Enterprises replacement high-pinion 9-inch. They can be purchased complete or with steering knuckles that will accept your factory TJ knuckles and stub shafts, and brakes. Transferring your TJ components to the new housing saves a lot of money, but the downside is you don't get the option of locking hubs. As for the rear, several options are out there from a Ford 8.8 with M.O.R.E. brackets, a junkyard 9-inch, and so on. I'd really recommend a Currie Enterprises 9-inch or a Dynatrac Trail Series Dana 44. Either will have better axle tubes than the stock TJ Dana 44 and make more sense than trying to keep your Dana 35 alive. We've done several cost-analysis stories in Jp covering TJ axle swap options which can be found with a little searching on jpmagazine.com.

EDWARD MURPHY, director, writer, producer, gave us an audio commentary for the cult hit RAW FORCE. The film was out on a few multi-pack labels some years ago that everyone enjoyed and supported, but it'll finally be out in a quality presentation. RAW FORCE has never been requested by internet action fans for CODE RED to handle, but since no other company stepped up to the plate, we are going to release it in 2012. Sorry to disappoint many people out there, but if we didn't move on it, the film would've just sat there indefinitely.

This is great news! Raw Force is one of my favorite movies of all time. I've got the original Media VHS of it and the the Grindhouse boxset that it is on as well. My only request that you keep the original Media cover art on it. Raw Force deserves to get a proper release and I am going to be he first person to buy it when you get it finished. Alas, it's a damn shame that Cameron Mitchell and Jillian Kesner are no longer with us because I would have loved to hear their memories about making the movie.
I can't stress enough though that keep the original Media artwork because it is amazing.
Last thought before I go; I think Code Red should try to get the rights to Kill or Be Killed and its sequel Kill and Kill Again. They both deserve to have a proper DVD release.
I can't wait! This news has made my year for sure.

Great news, I've never seen Raw Force but I have always wanted to. I will definitely get the Code Red DVD and or Bluray when it comes out.
I would like to see Kill or Be Killed and Kill and Kill Again get a proper DVD releaseas well.

"The traffic jam at the spaceport was almost nonexistent"
If You Can't Say Anything Nice...
Special to TLE
If your mother is anything like mine, you heard it more than a few times growing up: "If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all." For gossip-loving teenagers and often appallingly cruel grade-schoolers, those words are good advice. But as adults we grow to recognize that sometimes it's necessary to say even not-so-nice things. That doesn't mean, however, that we need to say those things as if we were the immature and small-minded children we used to be.
Politics usually isn't very pretty. It follows that political speech is frequently ugly. Accusations fly much as does the odiferous substance of another famous saying, and that means that some of the stuff typically sticks to the people throwing it as much as to the person or party at which it is aimed. It's probably true that whoever gets buried the deepest will lose in the end. Yet at the same time, it's likely also the primary reason so many of us hold our noses when we vote no matter the candidate we choose.
Career politicians and their highly paid campaign staff aren't likely to change anytime soon. As much as we lament dirty politics and say we wish races were run based on qualifications rather than accusations of less-than-exemplary actions that could prove to be disqualifications, dirty politics has one single factor in its favor: it works. Still, if a candidate could stay cleaner by virtue of better behavior, at least some of the efforts of the opposing side could be mitigated. At worst, that candidate would come across as being more level-headed, and rationale will always trump rhetoric in the minds of voters who will spare even a moment's thought to place fact above affiliation (never mind for the moment that too many voters don't bother to think at all).
The same holds true of political campaign supporters. All too often, informal debates between adherents turn ugly and, well, childish. "Vote for my candidate because..." is a springboard for discussion and discovery for both sides even if no one is convinced to change his mind. "Vote for my candidate or you're stupid!" is a call to arms. Rational arguments will, it can be hoped, at least provoke pertinent responses. Name calling, on the other hand, means that you either don't know any good arguments in favor of your stance, or that you're too unstable to think of any at the moment. Neither speaks well of you or, by association deserved or undeserved, your candidate or your cause.
Michael Moore is, as much as it pains me to say so, a talented filmmaker. It's impossible for me to appreciate his talent, however, because he's so busy using it to sling lies about his own least favored candidate. I don't argue that there's much that can be said against President George W. Bush and his policies, foreign and domestic. In fact, in some ways, that makes what Moore is doing worse. Given that there are some very legitimate criticisms and concerns that could beand should beexpressed in connection with the Bush administration, it seems a shame that Moore has instead wasted the time, money, and incessant vocalizations on so many things so easily disproved. Still, you'll recall I acknowledge that dirty politics works. And "Fahrenheit 9/11" has collected an extraordinarily healthy profit even as Moore's biggest liecalling a work that is largely fiction a documentaryis being swallowed by a distressingly large population.
For those who bother to ask a few questions or to look beyond the tricks of the trade of the silver screen, it's easy enough to see the fakery involved and the outright unreasoning hatred that motivates it. Once you see clearly, do you believe that John Kerry is the supremely better presidential candidate? Do you buy into every criticism of George W. Bush the movie makes? Or do you take many of the movie's "facts" with a very large grain of salt, and look at Michael Moore as being the unethical propagandist that he is? And doesn't that knowledge make you wonder about Mr. Moore's film as a whole, thus tarnishing his efforts even in the (unlikely, unfortunately) event he's telling you the truth?
Michael Moore is also an ideal example of how the opposite side of the issue shoots itself in the foot when it could be taking advantage of an overwhelming argument in its own favor. After all, it would seem to me that Moore's blatant disregard for any semblence of truth in his so-called documentary, and the relatively easily found proof of that contention, is more than adequate to condemn him and, by default, the validity of his viewpoint. Yet in the vast majority of editorials or complaints I've seen concerning Mr. Moore, the writer has seen fit to insult his weight, his hygiene, and/or his personality. Whether true or untrue, what do these petty snipes have to do with the fabrications in his film? How does calling Mr. Moore a pig persuade even the most lukewarm of his fans that an opposing opinion is worthy of even casual consideration?
The same general logic is true for those of us less famous than Mr. Moore. If we want others to consider our position or to think about supporting our chosen candidate, then we need to be able to tell others why that candidate has earned our support and why they might want to consider voting for our man, too. For example, I've made it clear that I endorse Libertarian Michael Badnarik for president. I promote his campaign because he's willing to make good on an oath to uphold the Constitution, and because he believes that government has no constitutionalor moralright to be involved in so much of our day-to-day and personal business. He's in favor of abolishing many taxes, of the absolute right to self defense, and of returning the responsibility of our own lives to us. That's almost certainly a more compelling argument for you to learn more about Mr. Badnarik than if I'd said, say, "Vote for Michael Badnarik because Ralph Nader is an idiot!" or "Vote for Michael Badnarik because George W. Bush and John Kerry are evil!" And that's true whether or not I personally think Ralph Nader actually is an idiot, or the Republican and Democrat candidates are separately or collectively the Antichrist.
This past week, I happened to read a very well-articulated letter intended to argue in favor of more equitable media coverage for all of the major presidential candidates rather than just the "big two." The writer referenced Michael Badnarik, David Cobb, Ralph Nader, and Michael Peroutka with respect, and gave no indication whatsoever as to which candidate he might personally favor. But all of the logic of his position was undone when, in the closing paragraph, he called George W. Bush and John Kerry disparaging names.
Don't misunderstand my own position in this matter. I agreed with that part of the letter as much as I agreed with the rest of it, which is to say completely. But imagine if you were on the receiving end of such a missive and, despite favoring one of the "big two" yourself, you were actually beginning to be just the smallest bit swayed by the calm, cool, and utterly rational points being made. Then suddenly your own favored candidate is called a nasty name. Your first reaction is to leap to your candidate's defense. Your second, and probably final, reaction is to ignore the letter in its entirety because to do otherwise just makes you waste precious time wanting to act on your first reaction. So how, pray tell, has your descent into name-callingas well deserved as it might behelped your cause?
It's crucial that we do speak up when we see political wrongdoing. It's important that we bring to light problems with candidates that could make them singularly unsuited to hold public office. And it's our unalienable right to share our opinion as far and wide as we desire. That's not only part and parcel of the political process, but also one of our responsibilities as citizens. While how you choose to wage your argument isn't as important as whether you're right or wrong, it can never-the-less prove all the difference between winning or losing the respect your position (I would hope) deserves.
The fact is that it really isn't a matter of saying nothing at all if we can't say anything nice, but rather taking the time to say those not-so-nice things nicely, or at least with logic and without the unnecessary baiting of those who disagree. Mom would understand and appreciate the difference. And more importantly for the sake of political activism, so will the others with whom you're communicating.
