The New York Review of Science Fiction has been a major source of insights into science fiction writing and criticism since 1988, with Hugo nominations every year since 1989. (Among many other fine essays, they published Samuel Delany's essay on racism and science fiction.) Now the Review may be converting to an electronic-only publication, for involuntary reasons. According to an announcement from the editors a couple days ago, the Review's printers, Odyssey Press, were sold, and the printer subsequently "ran out of paper."
Say the editors:
We will continue to publish print issues through the end of the current volume in July 2012. It does not appear that we will continue in print past then but will switch to PDFs of entire issues. These may be emailed to subscribers, or we may decide not to have subscribers and just make each issue available online, either for a nominal charge or for free. We will almost certainly also offer a print-on-demand option as well.
So if you're not already getting a PDF subscription to the Review, you may want to switch to one. [NYRSF]

BV Action
Did a little BV (background vocal) action for Adam Sullivan at Googie's Lounge (at the Living Room) last week, October 16th. Good times. Adam is always intriguing to listen to, with his Irish accent and heartfelt lyrics. Gideon Brown performed as well, beautiful! Setting up a show for December, so keep a look out.
Update on the Googie's Lounge Show
For those who couldn't make it out to Googie's Lounge, above The Living Room, this past weekend, it was a great show. The band was tight and I didn't forget any of my lyrics. I did a cover of Cat Stevens' song, If You Want to Sing Out, and I felt it went pretty swimmingly. Also we had a little bit of extra time at the end of our set, which I suspected we might. So without warning the band in advance I brought lyrics to a song I have been working on for the past year in hopes we could do a little improv music performance on stage. I asked my friend, Adam, who was going on after us, if he was ready to go on but he gave us the go ahead to do one more song. So while on stage I asked the band if they would be willing to try a little improv. It was my plan to just sing the melody I had written beforehand, but my piano player, Jason Arce, and my guitarist, David Glickstein, decided to take matters into their own hands and play something first that I should sing to…and I'm so glad they did. It's funny because this song, "Island", is all about letting go and moving in faith, letting go of control…. and the whole experience was exactly that for me. I began to sing to what they were playing and in only seconds it flowed together so smoothly and beautifully, it was truly an experience to remember. I was on a high for the rest of the night in awe of how amazing God is and how He works through us when we let go and allow Him to. And to my delight I woke up the next morning remembering the melody of the song and was able to record it. When I get a melody in my head for a song it's hard for me to let go of and for so long I already had an idea of how I wanted this song to go, but I am finding joy in letting go of the way I see it and discovering that it can be better than what I imagined.
Before this show I didn't feel ready to perform my own songs again and without asking for or seeking out this show and the next I truly feel that God plopped them into my lap and showed me it was His timing for me to perform again, not mine…and I'm so glad He did, because His timing is truly better. I feel alive again.
I was also blessed to hear Gideon Brown (http://www.myspace.com/gideonbrownmusic) perform for the first time. What beautiful music! Moving piano with incredible voices, so lovely and great meeting them as well. And my friend, Adam Sullivan (http://adamsullivan.com/), was wonderful as always, he ventured out and talked more throughout his set and I really enjoyed hearing the stories of his songs, it truly enhanced my experience.
Thanks so much to all who came and were able to share in this awesome experience. I hope even more can make it out this Saturday! Check out my Shows page for more info.
It's ABOUT TIME
Finally guys, I'm back on the face of the earth!
And in celebration of me being back I shall sing….I'll be gigging again starting this August, so be sure to keep checking out my site for what's next. So sorry to keep my faithful fans waiting so long. The first show I have lined up is August 7th at Googies Lounge (at The Living Room), a nice intimate setting in the L.E.S. at 154 Ludlow St. NY, NY (http://www.livingroomny.com/googies) @ 8:30pm. AND IT'S FREE! So there's really no reason you shouldn't come.
Gideon Brown opens @ 7:30 and my friend Adam Sullivan (http://adamsullivan.com/) goes on @ 9:30.
The next show is only a week after on August 14th. Not sure of any details, other than that it's an awesome block party and fun will be had by all who attend. Deets will follow when I have them, until then tweets about the fact that I can still sing.
Thanks for stopping by!

This Nobel Peace Prize weekend, Oslo's Grand Hotel is filled to the gills with international guests, including an especially robust crowd from Liberia and Yemen. Women in eye-popping African prints pose for pictures taken by their sisters or husbands. Meanwhile, little ones take advantage of their mothers' distraction to run up and down the red-carpeted stairwells. All the while, moving gracefully through the happy bedlam are young women with faces beautifully framed by tight scarves.
To someone who often watches the world through a camera lens, this has been a feast of eye candy. But as I've moved along with the crowd around the three women laureates (Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, Leymah Gbowee, and Tawakkul Karman) through a packed stack of events, I'm energized by knowing that there are thousands more women around the world who are celebrating.
I've received reports describing how there was, literally, dancing in the streets when the chairman of the Nobel committee stated unabashedly that the 2011 prize is a recognition that women hold up half the sky. "We cannot achieve democracy and lasting peace in the world unless women acquire the same opportunities as men to influence developments at all levels of society."
Of course all were not pleased. Some women are facing rock-throwing men when they publicly show their support of the laureates. Others live continuously under oppressive regimes where they risk imprisonment or torture because of their nonviolent struggle.
But this year's prize not only is a historic recognition of women's contributions to global security; it's also a signal to policymakers that while the laureates are exceptional, they are not exceptions. Huge numbers of women have been, are, and will be engaged in the work to stop war, yet today fewer than 3 percent of signatories to peace agreements are women. Did I say it's a signal? That's an understatement. The Nobel Committee has issued a clarion call to policymakers, insisting that women leaders be fully let into the leadership of the whole wide range of formal and informal peace processes everywhere. That means preventing conflict, stopping wars, and stabilizing chaotic post-conflict societies.
To make that very point, from Cambodia to Colombia to the Congo, women have been holding spirited "Rise with the Prize" gatherings. This global celebration is led by the Institute for Inclusive Security, a Washington, D.C.-based organization I chair. Given that we're passionate about pulling up chairs for women to any peace table, there's been a lot of hoopla in our offices as we've received dispatches from women in more than 25 countries. A few examples:
• In Afghanistan, the Afghan Women's Network—the leading women's non-governmental organization, headquartered in Kabul—wrote a letter of congratulations and sent green scarves for me to pass on to the laureates. These scarves were worn by Afghan women who pushed successfully for a place at the weighty international conference in Bonn, Germany, one week ago.
• In India, a women artists entrepreneur group called The Indigenous Tapestry held a celebration in their village, Hening Khulwa, in Peren District. The whole village participated in traditional tribal attire, coming together to pray and enjoy a high tea.
• In Israel, Brig. Gen. (Ret.) Israela Oron and former Knesset member Eti Livni hosted a dance party for policy shapers (including several ambassadors) in Tel Aviv.
• In Pakistan, Aman-o-Nisa: The Pakistan Women's Coalition Against Extremism issued a press release and hosted public screenings in Hyderabad, Islamabad, and Peshawar of the documentary Pray the Devil Back to Hell, featuring Leymah as she helped unite Christian and Muslim women to stop the war.
• In Sri Lanka, 1,200 women watched the prize ceremony during an art exhibition and conference in Colombo. This followed celebrations in 11 districts around the country.
• In Uganda, female members of parliament released a statement underscoring the relevance of the award to their own work.
• In Bolivia, Cambodia, Kenya, Liberia and Rwanda, women wrote op-eds for their local papers.
• Worldwide, women rallied in person and in the Twittersphere. (I contributed my share from the ceremony, and a host of other events.) Many retweeted one of my favorite quotes from President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf. "If your dreams do not scare you, they are not big enough."
This plethora of Rise with the Prize events captures the fortitude of women as they stand together. It reminds all of us to stop and recognize victories (small and large) that move women forward toward a vision shared with many a good man—of freedom from want and fear, through global, sustainable peace.
Shall we dance?

SANTA CLARA, Calif. – When San Jose Earthquakes coach Mark Watson spoke about Portuguese attacker Yannick Djaló on Monday, it was in the measured words of a head coach looking to successfully integrate a new player on the eve of his season debut: "Yannick's another piece of the puzzle."
San Jose general manager John Doyle allowed himself a little bit more verbal latitude when talking about the 27-year-old, whose arrival on a year-long loan from Portuguese side Benfica arguably provides a capstone to one of the Quakes' busiest offseasons.
"From a big-picture [standpoint], it's a good piece," a smiling Doyle said. "It's a bigger piece than some of the [other] pieces, I'd say. We're excited to bring in a player of his caliber, his ability on the field, his resume. And then you go to his age. I'm cognizant of [the risks of] bringing in older players that are past it.
"The two this year, [28-year-old French midfielder Jean-Baptiste] Pierazzi and Yannick, they're definitely not past their prime. They're right in their prime. That's exciting."
The Quakes had been looking for months to add a final attacking player with the pace and creativity to beat defenders one-on-one, thus forcing help to come and opening space for teammates. The consensus from San Jose's brain trust is that they ticked both boxes in the form of Djaló, who comes to the US after growing up in the academy system of Sporting CP and made more than 150 appearances on top-flight teams in Portugal (Sporting and Benfica) and France (Toulouse).
"Their youth development is one of the best in the world," Doyle said of Sporting, whose program has nurtured such stars as Cristiano Ronaldo, Luís Figo and Nani. "So technically, from the age of eight, he's had great technical training, and an emphasis on technical ability. And then the pace and drive, those things are natural."
As Djaló put it, when asked through a translator to describe his style of play: "Technical ability, speed, velocity. ... Scoring goals and assists, that's how I plan on helping."
Djaló first popped up on the Quakes' radar early in the winter break, but the velocity of negotiations picked up last month, when he came to San Jose for a couple days of training and quickly fit in with the revamped San Jose lineup.
Doyle feels Djaló brings more pace than both Simon Dawkins and Marvin Chávez, the since-departed wingers who combined for 11 goals and 14 assists on the the Quakes' 2012 Supporters Shield-winning side.
- Check out more Quakes coverage at SJEarthquakes.com
"We've been looking at a few players over the offseason to give us that little bit of quality and that little bit of dynamic movement going forward, and I think that he fits both of those categories," Watson said. "I think he's someone who can operate in any forward position and also as a wide player, he can come inside and be an attacking-type midfielder, if you like. We're excited to have him."
Watson said Djaló still needs to have his visa processed, which will require a round trip out of the country, but the newcomer could still see some brief action in the Quakes' MLS regular-season opener against Real Salt Lake on Saturday.
"He's pretty fit," Watson said. "He needs to get a little bit more match sharpness. So we'll assess it over the next couple of days."

Patient discussion about second
Q. second wind My cousin is an experienced aerobic for nearly 2 years. She does vigorous exercises. How a ''second wind'' affects her and what is it?
A. The term 'second wind is mostly known to the people who are related to the fitness. No matter how fit you are, the first few minutes into vigorous exercise you'll feel out of breath, and your muscles may ache. Your body isn't able to transport oxygen to the active muscles quickly enough. As a result, your muscles burn carbohydrates an aerobically, causing an increase in lactic acid production. Gradually, your body makes the transition to aerobic metabolism and begins to burn nutrients (carbohydrates and fats) aerobically. This shift over to aerobic metabolism coincides with your getting ''back in stride'' (a.k.a. the ''second wind''). The more you train and the more fit you become, the sooner you will get your ''breath'' back and reach an aerobic steady state that you can maintain for a relatively extended duration.
Q. What is the second phase of alcohol rehab? I guess the first one is well known... admitting you are addicted, but then what?

The most beautiful of all
Supplementary material
Euler's identity is an equation that links five massively important mathematical constants, and it has been called "the most beautiful theorem in mathematics".
My own maths skills are very limited, but still... this equation does look like an all-star team of cosmically-important constants.
e is the base of natural logarithms. It is an irrational number (2.718281828459...)
i is an imaginary number corresponding to the square root of -1.
π is the ratio between a circle's circumference and its diameter. Like e, it is irrational and is equal to 3,14159265358979...)
0 is known by everyone... Is there anyone doubting the importance of zero as a concept?
As for 1, well... its very name should give a hint as to its significance!
I can't help think that a connection between π and e tells us something about something, and that it's very significant... I just wish I was smart enough to understand what!!!

Sheet magnets are one of the most inexpensive magnets that are available in the market. These magnets are smooth, nonporous and are all weather resistant. The strength of the magnets can be increased by either increasing the width of the sheet or through magnetizing method.
The magnetic strips can also be supplied with a pressure sensitive adhesive backing or foam tape backing on one side for more bonding strength. For increasing the holding power, in some case, these magnets are also provided with steel backing to increase the holding power. The magnetization and the pole spacing of different sheet magnets are different because different applications require different magnetization. There are two methods of manufacturing magnetic sheet:
Anisotropic flexible rubber magnets are made by mixing ferrite magnet powder with synthetic rubber or plastic. When barium or strontium ferrite powder are consolidated with polymer matrix, anisotropic flexible rubber magnets are produced. The magnets so produced, have an excellent flexibility in permanent magnetic material field. These magnets because of their flexible feature can be easily molded and cut into stripes without affecting their magnetic properties. They also have an excellent machining characteristics.
Flexible magnetic sheeting is available with a variety of high quality laminates that are typically applied to the non-magnetic (weak) side. The most frequently used laminates are vinyls or adhesives depending on the required function of the magnet. Flexible Magnetic Sheeting is used for vehicle signs, creative projects, promotional items and many more consumer and commercial applications.We carry a a large stock inventory of flexible magnetic sheeting in different thicknesses, in rolls of different lengths, and with either white or plain brown finishes.

If needed, we can custom slit rolls or custom cut the sheets to your desired length.
Application should be made onto a flat, dry surface, after first removing any contaminants such as dirt or oils. Avoid extreme heat or cold, which could impact PSA flow. Apply with firm, equal pressure – 12 hours of pressure is recommended to obtain optimal flow and adhesion.

India Puts Spacecraft Into Martian Orbit: 'We Have Prevailed'
Story by the Associated Press; curated by Oliver Darcy.
NEW DELHI (AP) — India has triumphed in its first interplanetary attempt by successfully putting a satellite into orbit around Mars.
The odds, were stacked against us. Of the 51 missions, attempted across the world so far, a mere 21 had succeeded. But we have prevailed: PM
With today's spectacular success, ISRO joins an elite group, of only 3 other agencies worldwide to have successfully reached red planet: PM
India is the only country, to have succeeded in its very first attempt: PM @narendramodi.
Scientists broke into wild cheers Wednesday morning as the orbiter's engines completed 24 minutes of burn time and maneuvered into its designated place around the red planet.
The success of India's Mars Orbiter Mission, affectionately nicknamed MOM, brings India into an elite club of Martian explorers that includes United States, the European Space Agency and the former Soviet Union.
What is red, is a planet and is the focus of my orbit?
The Indian Space and Research Organisation described the mission as flawless.

We've been patiently waiting for third installment of the Bill & Ted series. Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter have been teasing us for years that they have a script, and now some truly excellent news pushes Bill & Ted 3 closer to a release date. The duo has nabbed a director — and not just any director, Dean Parisot from Galaxy Quest!
Vulture reports that original B&T creators Ed Solomon and Chris Matheson have attached Dean Parisot to direct this long-rumored script. And thankfully, instead of just rebooting the characters, the crew is actually attempting to capture where Bill and Ted are currently. They still haven't found a studio, but rumor has it they're shopping the script around, looking for co-financing alone with MGM (who still owns the rights to the characters).
This leaves only one question. What have Theodore Logan and Bill S. Preston, Esquire been up to all these years? Is Wyld Stallions even still together? God, give rock and roll to us!

While the narrative from last night's series-seizing win for the Pacers over the Knicks has mostly been Lance Stephenson's inexplicable 25-point, 10-rebound performance, the highlight of the evening was unquestionably Roy Hibbert's manhandling of a Carmelo Anthony attempt at the rim.
The NBA playoffs have thus far been about individual and team overall performances, and less about specific highlight plays. That's probably for the best, but it also means we're going to make the most of awesome moments like this.
This is a Deadspin Video, in which strange sports moments are slowed down to ridiculous speeds and matched with indie music. This video features "All Happy Endings" by Let's Whisper. See previous episodes here.

Story highlights
- Graphic animal prints are a fashion trend this spring
- Sophisticated animal prints came into fashion in 2006, opening the door to other animal motifs
- Wolves, dogs and cats show up on shirts and dresses on runways and in Etsy stores
Animal print is as classic to fashion as the little black dress. But this spring, the orange-and-black look of leopard is heading to the back of the closet in exchange for cuddly kitten faces.
Animals are shaping what we wear, from high-fashion runways to big retail stores to resale shops -- and it has nothing to do with fur, or even zebra print. No, fashion is trying to re-chic the old sweater of a wolf howling at the bright yellow moon or a T-shirt of an iguana going for a snack.
The animal illustrations growing popular now are a departure from the sophisticated animal prints that designers used a few years ago. Pets, specifically cats, are the most popular animals within the trend, fashion watchers said.
"Pets are a language of international happiness," Susan Cernek, Glamour magazine's fashion development director said. "You can hop on YouTube and see a cute puppy video and have comments come from all over the world. There is a universal appeal."
Cernek said animal motifs cycled into trendiness about 2006. The use of animal prints like leopard and zebra took off during the recession, when designers were trying to find a luxe substitute for pricier bejeweled clothing.
"It is the kind of print that scales well," Cernek said. "You can have a great print in a $30 shoe or in a $3,000 dress."
Leah Chernikoff, the editor of Fashionista, an online fashion blog, said the graphics' transition from tacky to stylish can be attributed to designers like Riccardo Tisci and his Givenchy men's line, which prominently features Rottweiler prints.
Rapper Kayne West donned a Givenchy Rottweiler shirt during a celebrity- and media-studded event. It exposed the public to the rising trend, Chernikoff said. She also points to celebrities like Liv Tyler and lines like Burberry that brought animals like the owl to the center of fashion.
Chernikoff said city street fashion culture helped to pioneer animal fashion before it showed up in magazines.
"We were seeing people wearing these cheesy animal sweaters in an ironic way," Chernikoff said. "There is something cool about the cheekiness. Hipsters are reclaiming things... you would buy [animal prints] at souvenir shops, but there was this hipster appropriation in fall 2011."
It's the nature of the fashion industry, Glamour's Cernek said -- it's cyclical and reactive, always looking to rethink what's out there to create a different effect.
"More fashion-forward designers try to do the opposite, and do something that is more fun, like the cheeky animal prints," Cernek said.
The tongue-in-cheek animal graphics are showing up on runways, and among the work of artists like Kelly Eident.
Eident owns an Etsy store, I'm Your Present, where she sells clothes created with vintage fabrics and repurposed clothes she finds at thrift stores. One of her best-selling items is a form-fitted dress adorned sheer sleeves and a large graphic illustration of animals like wolves or cats.
She describes her clothes as fun -- with a sense of humor.
"I think animals are always in style," she said. "Everyone loves them."
Everyone -- including designers like Victoria Beckham, who came out with a line that features cat prints on dresses and blouses, and Roberto Cavalli, whose line Just Cavalli features strands of earth-tone feathers and desert sand snake print.
"Fashion went through a phase of being very serious and had a heavy vision," Cernek said. "But the best designers epitomize this sense of whimsy and they take leopard print, luxurious and serious, and do something more fun with it.""
That universal appeal has driven the trend from the street to the store. Target spokesman Joshua Carter said this season's animal fashions are well-received by customers. The store sells a Jason Wu for Target T-shirt featuring a black cat, men's shirts with large prints of huskies, pugs and beagles, plus items like snake-print skirts, faded leopard skinny jeans and cheetah-print flats.
"We have seen animal print as a growing trend and continue to incorporate it into our apparel and accessories as either a full print or an embellishment on a solid style," Carter wrote in an e-mail.
Target's success with the trend demonstrates that it is making impressions on mainstream fashion and consumerism.
Whimsy is a really important aspect to Berene Campbell when it comes to design and fashion. The Vancouver resident grew up in South Africa, where animals were incorporated in everything from fashion to décor.
Campbell is now a graphic designer who crafts unconventional fabric patterns for handbags inspired by animals. She created a handbag in the shape of an owl, merging "geek" appeal with a colorful palette.

Mainer making T-shirts to benefit Boston bombing victims
Proceeds going to Greg Hill Foundation
A Maine man is trying to raise money for the victim's of Monday's bombings in Boston.
Tyler Lamoureux owns GameDay Boston and designed T-shirts that say "Boston Strong."
Lamoureux said he sold out of the first batch of shirts, 144 of them, in a matter of hours.
He said he has orders for 700 more and hopes to raise about $15,000.
The proceeds from the shirts benefit the Greg Hill Foundation out of Boston.
"Being from New England, being a long time Boston fan, and knowing how important the marathon is to Boston, the city, New England and to see someone do something like that, it actually hit home. Cause you know Portland and Boston and feels like one in the same in New England, and it just felt like, you know anything I can do to help out, even two hours away would be great," said Lamoureux.

ESA transmits first-ever telecommands to Chinese satellite
For the first time, ESA tracking stations have transmitted telecommands to a Chinese satellite. This morning at 07:15 CET (06:15 UTC), China's mission control reported that commands transmitted from Maspalomas station had been successfully received by the Chang'e-1 Moon mission.
ESA ground tracking support to China's Chang'e-1 successfully started on 1 November 2007 at 04:35 CET (03:35 UTC) with the first receipt of telemetry signals from the Chinese mission at ESA's 35m deep-space station at New Norcia, Australia.
Two hours and 39 minutes later, the first telecommands to Chang'e-1 were transmitted via ESA's 15m station in Maspalomas, Spain, when the Chinese satellite was nearly 200 000 km from Maspalomas station. An hour later, the ESA station in Kourou, French Guiana, also successfully received telemetry and transmitted commands to Chang'e-1.
New Norcia, Maspalomas and Kourou stations are part of ESA's ESTRACK ground station network, and are remotely controlled from the European Space Operations Centre (ESOC), in Darmstadt, Germany.
The successful communications mark a major milestone as this is the first time a telecommand to a Chinese spacecraft has been transmitted from an ESA station. In addition to receipt of telemetry and transmission of telecommands, the Maspalomas and Kourou stations also performed ranging and Doppler measurements used to determine the spacecraft's location and direction.
"The support began as planned and without any problems. We were confident it would work given the extensive preparations and intensive testing we did in close cooperation with the Chinese," said Erik Soerensen, Head of the System Requirements and Validation Section at ESOC.
Time-line to success
This morning, engineers working in ESOC's ESTRACK Control Centre reported the following series of events (times in CET = UTC+1):
|ESA's 35m New Norcia station successfully acquired Chang'e-1 telemetry
|Beijing Aerospace Control Centre (BACC) successfully connected to New Norcia via ESOC
BACC reported receipt of good telemetry
Marks the first time that an ESA station has received, processed and routed telemetry signals to a Chinese control centre
|ESA's Maspalomas station successfully acquired Chang'e-1 telemetry signals
|BACC successfully connected to Maspalomas and reported good telemetry
|Maspalomas successfully established the up-link to Chang'e-1 and BACC reported on-board lock
|Telecommands from BACC successfully transmitted from Maspalomas
|BACC reported telecommands successfully received by Chang'e-1

I ripped some music cds using EAC and then converted the files to flac format. I then burned the flac files to a cd-rs with Imgburn for archiving. However when I put the cds in my PC drive, the files show up as .Fla files (not .flac), and I can't drop them into Oggdrop to convert them to Ogg files. Why are the files showing up as .Fla files instead of .Flac when I burned them as .Flac files, and what do I need to do to be able to use them with Oggdrop and/or convert them to other formats (Mp3, Ogg, etc)? thanks

Thank you. I will. It is one of the few things he lets himself be a kid again on, the tree and decorations. He was upset, a lot of our older out side stuff has simply worn out. I told him in the new year we will get a bunch new stuff he likes. He made two wreaths , which I thought was amazing. Hugs

Ron's tree looks great! I don't have a tree this year because my son is staying with me & there isn't room. Well — there would be but I don't want that argument. I am going to miss my tree & my (own) handmade ornaments & all the oddball stuff I always put on the tree. But oh well. I have lights strung around the apartment & my snow scenes out & my santa candle holders.
The other reason I agreed not to get a tree so readily is that I looked up the price of last year's tree (I always get a real one) & it was $40 for what was little more than an overgrown shrubbery (according to last year's diary). It was the right size for my small living room but $40 was highway robbery. I can well imagine that a tree that same size will be $50 or more that year. I can't just afford it & feed my adult child as well! & his father is coming up from Florida for the holiday as well! I'll have TWO of them!!!!

1981 Ford Mustang - The Foxinator
Don't Underestimate Kevin Kenley's '81 Mustang.
In the world of Fox-body enthusiasts, four-eyes refers to the early '79 to '82 Mustangs and Capris with four sealed beam headlights. On elementary school playgrounds, four-eyes is the unfortunate bespeckled kid about to get punched by the playground bully. Every now and then, though, that bully gets what's coming to him in the form of a four-eyed smackdown. Take the Saleen spoiler off the decklid of Kevin Kenley's four-eyed Fox, and it looks like the proverbial 90-pound weakling. Woe unto thee who dares challenge this seemingly mild-mannered Mustang, however. A crack of the throttle unleashes nearly 600 hp that will smite its unwitting foe with one swift stroke. Consider yourself warned.
Fairmonts, Granadas, Zephyrs, LTDs, Marquis, Thunderbirds, Cougars, RWD Continentals, and Mk. VIIs are also members of the Fox body family. Go to foureyedpride.com to meet like-minded early-Fox owners.
OK, the car isn't much to look at, but we couldn't care less. Still, Kevin seemed to think we were putting him on when we asked to schedule a photo shoot. The hood and rockers aren't painted yet, the panels that do have paint are scratched up, and the four-lug wheels scream four-banger secretary car. But you can tell by the exhaust note that there is a V-8 under the hood. Still, there's something odd about the sound-the engine does not make the noises you'd expect from a 5.0.
"Sounds like a mod motor," we say to Kevin, and he grins. "Only a few guys get it. The ones who know will ask me what year the engine is," he replies. Those guys are rewarded with a peek under the fiberglass hood to see the transplanted 4.6L V-8 out of an '04 Mustang SVT Cobra. In last month's Horsepower! section, we featured a similar Cobra engine, but if your short-term memory fails you, this engine-known internally at FoMoCo as the Terminator-was very conservatively rated at 390 hp. However, Kevin is putting quite a bit more power to the ground-nearly 600 to the wheels, thanks to a supercharger upgrade and the Kenne Bell twin-screw unit.
When Kevin first got this car, however, a 4.6 swap was the furthest thing from his mind. He bought this car for $500 in 1993. It was a lowly four-
cylinder model with a blown head gasket, and Kevin had the remnants of a built 302 he planned to drop in. All those plans were put on hold for a variety of reasons most of us can relate to-marriage, kids, job, no money-and so the car mostly sat in different shops and driveways until about 2005. That was the year Kevin got serious about getting his derelict Fox back on the road. It was also when the price of gasoline skyrocketed. Bummer. He had just started to amass enough scratch to put his car back together and he wasn't sure he'd be able to make the horsepower numbers he wanted. After considering his options, a 4.6 became the logical choice.
Through eBay searches, Kevin located a seller in San Diego with a low-mileage engine. Once he had it, he knew he had to do a smog-legal swap to get maximum enjoyment out of all his hard work. Any less than that would mean expensive biannual payoffs to the smog man, out-of-state registrations with a fictitious address, or relegating his car to trailer and dragstrip duties only. None of that is good.
California does not make smog-legal swaps easy. In fact, the laws are so draconian that one wonders if they exist only to force older cars off the road. It wasn't enough for Kevin to slap on a pair of headers (or a quartet in the case of the Cobra) and run the factory ECM. He had to basically re-create the entire running gear of an '04 Cobra within the shell of an '81 Mustang. That meant sourcing a bunch of ancillary parts, including the EVAP canister, gas tank, and filler neck.
Kevin found nearly everything he needed for the swap on eBay, and after three trips to the Bureau of Automotive Repair referee station, his car passed. He was given a plaque to attach to his doorsill validating his swap, and his wheezy old pony now terrorizes the streets and dragstrip with nearly three times the power it could have dreamed of making 30 years ago.
Tech Notes
Who: Kevin Kenley
What: '81 Ford Mustang
Where: Rancho Cucamonga, California. Cucamonga can be translated to either sandy place or place of the villages where water comes out. Apparently, they get runoff water from the San Gabriel Mountains there.
Engine: Here's what we love about these engines-the entire long-block is stock. The Terminators have a forged reciprocating assembly, but the block is the same cast-iron 3.552-inch-bore piece you'll find in any run-of-the-mill, two-valve Mustang, Crown Victoria, or Town Car for that matter. (Spare us the nasty emails-we know the Cobra engines were cast without a knock sensor boss in the valley of the block to make room for the intercooler.
Otherwise, it's the same engine block.) The crank has a 3.543-inch stroke, adding up to 281 ci or 4.6 liters. The heads, cam, and valvetrain are stock Mustang Cobra. Kevin still has the stock iron exhaust manifolds. The key here is big airflow courtesy of the Kenne Bell supercharger. It physically delivers more air than the stock supercharger. At full song, or "death moan" as Kevin calls it, he will peg his boost gauge at 17 psi, and that contributes to a major jump in power from the stock configuration. To fit the mod motor, Kevin bought a tubular K-member from AJE Racing (ajeracing.com). The company makes all kinds of engine swap stuff for Chevys, Fords, and Mopars.
Fuel: While the engine is mostly stock, the fuel system had to be modified to cope with the huge increase in air being ingested by those relatively small cylinders. Kevin upgraded to a pair of Focus fuel pumps, a Kenne Bell Boost-A-Pump, and FMS 60 lb/hr fuel injectors.
Transmission: Though Cobras have T56 six-speeds from the factory, Kevin found a killer deal on a used Viper T56 transmission. A Viper trans has the strongest internals of all OE applications. The input shaft and shifter had to be modified to fit his car.
Rearend: Some Fox-body owners switch to an independent rear suspension when doing Cobra engine swaps. Kevin is more concerned with performance at the dragstrip than the road course, so he stuck with a 8.8-inch solid rear axle-but it's an 8.8 with a 9-inch twist. He sent the housing to the guys at Currie, who welded on the big-bearing Torino axle flanges that accept 9-inch bearings and axles. The differential is a Detroit Locker with 3.73:1 gears. Ted Brunson at Bill Thompson Enterprises did the assembly, and Ed Moore built a steel driveshaft for Kevin after he snapped two aluminum ones.
Exhaust: Simple stuff here-a MAC after-cat system with an H-pipe.
Suspension: At the time the pictures were taken, Kevin's Fox was riding on stock front control arms with Del-a-lum bushings, MAC tubular upper rear arms, Maximum Motorsports Extreme Duty lower rear arms, Eibach springs, and Tokiko shocks. He's since swapped his stock springs back in, hoping the softer springs will help plant the rear on hard launches at the dragstrip.
Brakes: That's a Baer 12-inch system up front and an '04 Cobra set on the rear. The Cobra rotors had to be redrilled to fit the four-lug axles.
Wheels/Tires: The rubber is a set of Nitto 555s, sized 245/45R17 up front and 275/40R17 on the back. Because Kevin is planning to compete in our Engine Swap Drags, he's got a pair of Mickey Thompson drag radials on the way.
Paint/Body: The car was actually painted eight years ago, way before Kevin got the notion to do an engine swap, so it has a few scratches from sitting. He wants to have it painted again but can't afford it yet: He has a wife and five kids and they're all just moving into a new house. Don't worry Kev, we like the car the way it is.
Interior: Kevin is especially proud of the work he's done to the interior. He replaced the '81 dash with one from an '86 Mustang filled with VDO Millennium gauges rather than the stock stuff. The center console is made from the best parts of '86 and '96 consoles grafted together. He threw in a cupholder from a '98 Mustang for good measure. The seats are from an '89 Saleen Mustang, and he fitted the Cobra pedals to his '86 dash. He also grabbed the carpet and sunvisors from an '04 Cobra and one of those autodimming rearview mirrors from a Suburban-"the only Chevy part on the car," Kevin jokes. He mounted HVAC control switches from a '96 Mustang to his hybrid console.
The Swap: Once Kevin had the AJE crossmember in place, physically getting the engine in the car was easy. Wiring up everything was the hard part. Kevin bought the Ford factory service manuals and a DVD of the Cobra's wiring schematic. He took apart his stock '81 harness and the donor '04 harness, removed the components he didn't need, and created a new harness to fit his car. In the process, he upgraded the fusible links from the old car to the better relays and junction boxes of the new car. "In all, I have between 200 and 300 splices and connections to get the two looms integrated together," he tells us. Once the engine was installed and wired up, he had it tuned by Ricardo Topete at GTR Performance. It made 434 hp to the wheels with the stock supercharger. After dropping on the Kenne Bell, he took it to Adam Montague of ST Motorsports for a new tune-up. With the twin-screw blower, his safe tune makes 543 hp and 485 lb-ft at the wheels. On 100-octane gasoline, Kevin can dial it up to 607 hp and 545 lb-ft. His best pass so far is an 11.2 at 124 mph. Traction is his biggest problem now. He promised to keep us updated once he makes it back to the track with the softer springs and drag radials.
Thanks: Kevin has a long list of people he wants to thank for helping him get his car back on the road. First up is his wife, Margaret, for "putting up with all the time spent on, in, and under the car while she was taking care of the kids." In addition, he wants to thank friends Mark Sanchez; Damon Howard, who helped with garage space; Randy Moruzzi, who did the plastic welding on his dash; John Mihovetz of Accufab, who gave him a price break on parts; and his sister, Kerry, who donated her garage for a couple of years.

Bottom line: Justin Bieber prefers to keep his love life private.
The 16-year-old singing sensation kept mum during his recent Today show appearance (see video below) when anchor Amy Robach read a fan mail question asking if Bieber had a girlfriend.
"Um…I pass," he simply said. And that was that.
U.S. & World
The day's top national and international news.
Bieber was in New York City yesterday to promote his new book "First Step 2 Forever: My Story." He also just put out a new CD, "My Worlds Acoustic," which is only available through Walmart. "I wanted a little something for my fans for the holiday season," he explained about the album.
In the interview, he spoke about his big wins at the recent American Music Awards. "I had a lot of things going through my head. It was pretty amazing just what I had accomplished this. I've just been very blessed."
The star also spoke about his mentor, R&B singer Usher, and what advice he imparted on him. "Basically just to stay humble, stay grounded, remember where you come from, and family is very important—don't forget that."
As for what Bieber plans to do over the holidays, he said he planned to spend time with his family. "We have this game we play—basically you roll a dice. Everyone brings a gift and you pick a random gift."
There'll be more Bieber on the way: his new movie "Justin Bieber: Never Say Never," which will hit theaters on Feb. 11, 2011.

A comet plunging into the sun has been captured in 3-D as it hurtled along its kamikaze path for the first time, solar physicists announced Monday.
"We believe this is the first time a comet has been tracked in 3-D space this low down in the solar corona," said solar physicist Claire Raftery, a post-doctoral fellow at UC Berkeley.
Four post-doctoral researchers at UC Berkeley's Space Science's Laboratory used instruments aboard NASA's Solar Terrestrial Relations Observatory (STEREO) spacecraft to track the so-called sun-grazing comet as it approached the sun. They were able to estimate an approximate time and place of impact.
NASA's STEREO mission, which launched in 2006, is actually made up of twin spacecraft that orbit the sun, one ahead of the Earth and one behind it, and provide stereo views of the sun.
Close to the sun
Sun-grazing comets are made up of dust, rock and ice. These comets are rarely tracked as they speed toward the sun because their brightness is overwhelmed by the solar disk.
But every now and then, a comet stands out in views from sun-watching spacecraft like STEREO and the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO).
The comet seen by Raftery and her fellow researchers apparently survived the intense heat of the sun's outer atmosphere – called the corona – and disappeared in the chromosphere, which is a thin layer of plasma found between the visible surface of the sun and the corona.
The comet eventually evaporated in the scorching heat that reaches almost 180,000 degrees Fahrenheit (close to 100,000 degrees Celsius).
Raftery and her colleagues, Juan Carlos Martinez-Oliveros, Samuel Krucker and Pascal Saint-Hillaire, concluded that the comet was probably from the Kreutz family of comets, a group of Trojan or Greek comets that were ejected from their orbit in 2004 by the gas giant Jupiter.
The researchers also concluded that the sun-grazing comet made its first and only loop around the sun before crashing and burning.
The research team presented their findings today at the 216th meeting of the American Astronomical Society.
Tracking a comet
The comet first caught Martinez-Oliveros' attention after it was mentioned in a summary of observations by SOHO and STEREO in March.
The comet's long, bright tail of dust and ions distinguished it as a sun-grazing comet, and assuming that it was going to loop around the sun, the researchers decided to monitor it and see whether the STEREO data were good enough to allow them to accurately calculate its trajectory.
They found that the data was so precise that they were able to chart the comet's approach for two days prior to impact.
The researchers were able to estimate the impact zone within a circle about 620 miles (1,000 km) in diameter. They then pored through online data from the Mauna Loa Solar Observatory to determine if they could spot the comet next to the sun's edge in the ultraviolet region of the spectrum.
What they found was a short trail that lasted about six minutes and was only a few thousand miles above the solar surface in the sweltering corona and chromosphere.
Since the comet had a relatively short tail – about 1.86 million miles (about 3 million km) in length – the researchers believe that the comet contained heavier elements that do not evaporate as easily.
This would also help explain how the comet was able to penetrate so deeply into the sun's chromosphere, not only surviving the extreme temperatures but the strong solar winds as well, before finally evaporating.
For their study, the team used the two coronagraphs on STEREO A and B and multiple instruments on SOHO, "demonstrating the importance of multi-view observations of non-solar phenomena," the researchers wrote in the presentation of their research.
The researchers also used data from the ground-based Mauna Loa Solar Observatory, located on the flank of the Mauna Loa volcano in Hawaii, and found images of the spot they had predicted the comet to impact at, which appeared to show a comet approaching the edge of the sun from behind the solar disk.
The members of the research team, who all normally study explosive events on the sun, said that their foray into cometary physics was unplanned.
"It was supposed to be an exercise, but it took over our lives," Raftery said.
