Exhibition Title: BLIZZARD: Emerging Northern Artists
Artist(s): Jamasie Pitseolak, Nicholas Galanin, Tanya Lukin-Linklater, Geronimo Inutiq
and in the media lab, Northern Haze: Living the Dream (2011). Director: Derek Aqqiaruq
Opening: Thurs. July 5, 7-10pm
Exhibition Dates: Thurs. July 5, 2012 – Sat. August 4, 2012
Curator: Tania Willard
BLIZZARD: Emerging Northern Artists looks at indigenous artists working in the North who are using their traditions to forge new ideas around contemporary art. The exhibition and publication, in development for over two years, looks at the influence of Inuit and Northern traditional art forms and how these are translated by a younger generation of artists whose roots are in the North. How does the landscape and context of the North influence the visions of its young artists and how do our interpretations of that dreaming—our preconceptions about the North—influence our understanding? Curated by Artist/Curator Tania Willard, whose recent curatorial project Beat Nation (co-curated with Kathleen Ritter) just closed at the Vancouver Art Gallery, BLIZZARD looks at a younger generation of Northern Artists schooled in the traditions of their artists families, but breaking barriers by questioning relationships that tie North and South.

Day 5: Favorite Spin-off game
Since Revelations isn't a spin-off, I'll say Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D. It's not perfect — some gameplay glitches, crappy sound, the point system relies a bit too much on physical attacks, and neither of Jill's costumes feature her with blonde hair — but dude, it's Mercenaries on the go. How awesome is that?

Devan Dubnyk didn't have the confidence of management in the summer, and Oiler fans have no confidence in him now. Time for a bold move. Now. Craig MacTavish has been rumored to be 'waiting for game 15 or 20′ to make the call, but why bother? This is a goalie who has gone from mid-pack (or better) to dregs in short order. The season is now 1-3-1, and with average goaltending in game 1 and 5 this team would be 3-2.
Craig MacTavish showed his hand at the draft. He does not believe in Devan Dubnyk.
Time to go all in.

Speed freaks and adrenaline junkies alike all get geeked up when they hear about a new package from tuning firm, AMS Performance. It's not enough that these tuners just created anAlpha 10 package for the Nissan GT-R that broke the World Record for Quickest and Fastest GT-R running a 9.3 at 153mph in the quarter mile with a full weight street car. No, these guys had to keep on trucking with a new package for one of their other rides: the Mitsubishi Lancer Evo . The Mitsubishi Evo 900X comes with killer engine upgrades and some minor aerodynamic changes.
The power for the Evo 900X circles around the 2.2 liter four-cylinder turbocharged engine with Kelford cams and valve springs. The added turbo kit gets this engine ready for just about any paved road with an AMS boost control solenoid kit, an AMS front mount intercooler, AMS intercooler piping, a Tial QR blow off valve, and an AMS 3" racing series exhaust. The quick-spooling turbocharger allows the vehicle to "fire off 10 second passes at the drag strip" and provides "enough low end torque to corner exit with the best of them." All of these engine mods combined will get the customer 900 HP and a sprint from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.3 seconds.
Next to the engine upgrade, the 900X package also includes a carbon fiber aerodynamic package, upgraded brakes, and an upgraded suspension.

Google Signs Global Advertising Deal with Yahoo!
Gianluigi is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Yahoo! (NASDAQ: YHOO) and Google (NASDAQ: GOOG) have hooked up in a global deal that results in Google ads appearing on some of Yahoo!'s websites. The global, non-exclusive agreement will put Google's Adsense ads on Yahoo!'s network with the ultimate purpose of showing better targeted and relevant ads for the Yahoo! visitors. In exchange, Google acquires extra visibility with this new deal.
On the corporate blog of Yahoo!, they don't disclose much information about their deal with Google:
At Yahoo!, we're focused on doing everything we can to make the user experience inspiring and engaging. One way we do that is by providing relevant and well-targeted content -- whether that be editorial or advertising content.
Yahoo! users won't note anything different in how and where the ads appear. It's really a back-end deal that works on getting the right ad to the right user at the right time. This relevant and holistic experience of editorial content and advertorial content is what Google's contextual advertising is great at, or at least better than others.
Google's contextual advertising
I had the opportunity to do a massive amount of Google's contextual ad buying for an ex client of mine five years in a row. This gave me a pretty good view of the developments in Google's contextual advertising business.
It's really an interesting sub-segment of paid advertising. Search advertising is true pull marketing, showing ads that only appear when a user is looking for something on that specific subject. Contextual advertising, on the other hand, is push marketing in an integrated way. When someone is reading about a city where he or she might potentially go on vacation, contextual ads will appear that focus on that specific city. That way, the web property is creating a holistic experience, benefiting from Google's advertisers and network, which basically means a plug-and-play system for the web property.
Contextual advertising results vary more, because the intention is not known from the user. Is the user simply searching for information, or does he want to book a vacation? This is where the complexity kicks in and where Google is great at providing good results to advertisers and web property owners.
In those five years the enhancements and relevancy of Google's contextual advertising has increased a lot, but it's still a challenging business. It's all about natural language, behavior, intention and so on, so it requires continuous tweaking in "understanding" content on webpages and intention of users.
What does this mean for the Bing Yahoo! deal
Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT)'s Bing has an exclusive deal with Yahoo! to serve their ads on Yahoo! search queries, a deal that is running until 2019.
At this point in time Yahoo! is already showing Bing contextual ads on their web properties, due to the deal the closed last year with Bing and Media.net, resurrecting their Publisher Network.
I don't know the exact performance of Bing's contextual ads, but when compare the effectiveness of Bing's search engine ads and Google ads, it's again Google that "wins" this battle, meaning more pressure and challenges for Microsoft's online business. If Yahoo! sees a better return per web property through Google than through Bing served ads, Microsoft could end up on its own again.
This won't be a good scenario as Microsoft invested billions in its search initiatives to gain momentum in the sector. Critical mass is what Google has in relation to search queries, and now gets extra visibility through the Yahoo! network and what Yahoo! has with content platforms. Microsoft keeps on innovating and experimenting, and Bing needs to keep innovating in niches where they have advantages over Google and Yahoo!
Yahoo! made a smart move by partnering with Google and allowing that company to excel in what it does best. This way Yahoo! can focus even more on the content whilst Google can show Yahoo! what their algorithm is worth.
All-in all this is a very interesting development that will create additional pressure and challenges for Microsoft.

The Town Hall Hotel and Apartments is located in London's artsy East End. Striking design mixes Edwardian influences with 1930s art deco style and contemporary touches. This hotel first opened as a town hall in 1910 and many of the rooms, studios, and apartments have original period details. All rooms have free Wi-Fi and iPod docks. Bathrooms are especially luxurious, most with soaking tubs and separate walk-in showers. Vintage furniture and modern kitchens make these loft-style rooms both functional and inviting. Hotel amenities include a nice indoor pool, a fitness room, and a stylish Michelin-rated restaurant. While some guests might feel that the location is isolated from London's top attractions, the Town Hall Hotel offers great value for money in a hip neighborhood.
The 282-room Royal Horseguards offers classic Victorian architecture and modern amenities in a five-star luxury setting with views of the London Eye and the Thames River. Ornate sculpting, stunning high ceilings, and romantic archways are all dominant elements that complement a rich history -- the Royal Horseguards housed the Secret Service during World War I. The hotel, with a horse guards theme throughout, connects to One Whitehall Place, the palatial meeting and events space.
The 245-room St. Pancras Renaissance London is a romantic, dramatic hotel with a long history dating back to the Victorian era. High ceilings and period architecture were beautifully preserved during a £200 million refurbishment. The Booking Office Bar and Restaurant once served as the original ticketing office for neighboring St. Pancras Rail Station. Rooms are big with soaring ceilings and huge bathrooms, though character varies between the Barlow and Chambers sections of the hotel. Fees are high, for everything from Wi-Fi to filtered water.
The Athenaeum Hotel is a luxury property located just across the street from beautiful Green Park in Mayfair, one of London's most exclusive central districts. With 164 rooms and 16 apartments, the upscale hotel offers an impressive whiskey bar, fine dining restaurant, and gym/spa facilities (free for guests). Rooms and spaces are colorful with custom modern furniture and a British theme throughout. The Athenaeum is also walking distance from many of London's top attractions, including Buckingham Palace, Big Ben, and Trafalgar Square, but some guests feel the lower-category rooms are small, especially for the price.
Go Native Earl's Court is a swish, contemporary apartment hotel located in the Earl's Court area of West London. Apartments are fresh and contemporary with small but well equipped kitchens. Bathrooms too impress, with fun mosaic tiles, and some apartments have floor to ceilings windows letting in lots of natural light. There's little beyond the actual apartments, though the next door supermarket is useful for parking and supplies. There's not much in the aparthotel vein in the area and comparable hotels, such as the K+K Hotel George, are around the same price.
As a popular serviced apartments accommodation located in quiet, upscale Bayswater, the upscale Grand Plaza Serviced Apartments is generally suited for longer stays. Don't expect top luxury, but there are spacious rooms, comfortable beds and new refurbishments on the way in 2014 -- including larger TV sets and new carpets in rooms.
The Rembrandt Hotel is an upscale hotel located in the tourist-friendly area of South Kensington, a short walk from a handful of museums, galleries, and other sights. The stylish, modern hotel has 193 rooms with colorful decor and high-tech amenities, such as interactive TVs. The numerous property features include a full bar, lounge, and restaurant; guests also get discounted day passes to the gym, heated pool, jacuzzi, and sauna at the adjacent Aquilla Health and Fitness.
As a part of Holiday Inn's long-stay accommodation concept, the Staybridge Suites London-Stratford City, located in the Westfield Stratford City Shopping Center, offers studios and one-bedroom suites and fantastic views of Olympic Park. It is within walking distance of the Stratford Tube, meaning easy access to central London.
The K+K Hotel George, a sophisticated, upscale hotel tucked inside a classic townhouse, offers smart, tasteful interior design and close proximity to the Earl's Court tube station. The 154-room property feels intimate, and offers a charming private garden with plenty of roaming space, a location on a quiet side street in Kensington, and bright, homey rooms. It may be worth comparing rates with the nearby Hotel Indigo, however, which is arguably a bit more stylish.
The Thistle Marble Arch is a classy and sophisticated 692-room hotel with an Art Deco theme. The central lobby is striking with a stained glass feature and plenty of lounge space. The rooms could use a bit of work, though a scheduled refurbishment and rebranding effort in mid-2014 could indeed do the trick. There is fresh prepared food offered to-go at the Delicacy counter and the hotel offers a great location just behind Marble Arch station, but there is no spa and limited gym facilities, and some guests complain about noise in street-facing rooms.

It's Thanksgiving week, and we have a lot to be thankful for here at The List HQ.
Think about it. How many people get to build their work around talking about high school sports? And get paid for it? Yes, we're pretty darn fortunate down here. Far more than we deserve. We've done some bad things. But let's not talk about all that right now.
As usual at this time of year, we want to talk high school football. And since our families just give us rude looks when we try to spend the entire Thanksgiving dinner speculating about who the next AAAAA champion's going to be, we'll just talk about it with you.
So, with Thanksgiving coming up Thursday, here's what we're most thankful for this year.
10. Unseasonably warm nights
These past two years have really made us thankful to be in the South. We barely even had to break out the coat and Hot Hands last year, the weather was so mild. This season, there really hasn't been a cold night yet, and this Friday looks gorgeous as well. When you have to sit there writing and typing all night, believe me, it helps.
9. Well-organized parking lots
As anyone who's attended high school football games can tell you, some schools have the parking thing down pat, while others resemble the Connector at 5 on a Friday after the game. And when we do want to get out of there shortly after the final buzzer, it's nice to be able to escape the parking lot in less time than it takes us to drive to Macon.
8. Role players
Every team needs them. We all pay attention to the star players who are going to be playing on Saturdays next year, but there isn't a team out there that plays 22 of them. Everybody's got to have the guys who very few fans ever hear of, the guys we never talk to after the games.
7. Records being broken
OK, we didn't get the big rushing record from Cedartown's Nick Chubb this year, like we were hoping (he came up 475 yards short). But even the chase is so much fun to watch, especially when guys like Chubb are gobbling up 300-yard games like we'll be scarfing down turkey this week. And he's only a junior. We'll be even more thankful if he can knock out the record on his second try.
6. Players/coaches who give good quotes
Did you watch that Les Miles press conference from this past weekend? Yeah, you're going to want to do that. We'll wait for you to Google it … OK, back? Good. See, that's what we mean about good quotes. I think we all love when coaches and players go off the usual script and give us something interesting, perhaps a little glimpse into their real personality. Miles does it regularly.
5. Star quarterbacks
While role players have a soft spot in our hearts, everybody wants to have a star quarterback to run the show. They get all the girls, they have the ball on almost every play, they get to talk to wonderful folks like us after the games. Bottom line: You're not going to win without a quarterback to execute your offense. And we love watching them do their thing.
4. Full stadiums
We're getting near the time of year when we'll see more of this than usual. How great is it when a big high school stadium is packed and standing room only on a chilly Friday night? It's loud and crowded, and it feels like an event. Everyone's excited to be there, and there's no place you'd rather be.
3. Upsets
Especially this time of year, it's fun to see Cinderella move forward in the brackets. North Paulding, Colquitt County and Brookwood are sort of our favorite teams of the moment for taking out No. 1 seeds last week. Yeah, it's heartbreaking for the losing team, but there's just something so compelling about it for the rest of us.
2. Playoff brackets
And yes, the brackets themselves are just incredible. We always give thanks that we have these brackets in front of us to pore over and become our obsession for awhile. There are few things we look forward to more each year … with the possible exception of our moms' cooking Thursday night.
1. Passionate fans
That's right, none of this happens without you – the fans. You show up to the games. You cheer on the players. And, well, let's be honest. Without you, there's really no reason for us to even be writing this, since there's no one to read it. So who's awesome? You're awesome. You're looking good too. Have you lost weight? Yeah, we can tell. Keep on being awesome.
After that buttering up, we want to know what you're thankful for. What do you appreciate the most about high school football? What couldn't you live without? What are you eating Thursday night? Let us know in the comments here or on Twitter at @ajcprepsports.

- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I've used the MaryJanes for the past 3 seasons and I ski on average 200 days a year. I spend my winters in Utah smashing pow in the backcountry and riding park on sunny days. I travel back to my home Mt. Hood every spring and summer and play in the parks at Timberline. I'm 5'3" and 130 pounds and I wear a 24 in these boots. This equates to a size 7, but when I wear street shoes I wear a size 8. So I like my boots tight and these allow your feet to be snug without getting your feet pinched, or toe bang. These boots have an amazing durability that have held up through A LOT. This boot is also pretty soft so if that's what you're looking for I would go with these. The MaryJanes are designed for a little bit wider foot which i struggled with a little because I have a very skinny heel, but wide toes. I was able to fix this by going to my local ski shop and getting inserts added to my liners on either side of the heel. So, if your dropping cliffs, slashing pow, or throwing tricks, these boots will help you succeed no doubt! Even if you are just shredding groomers, or still learning to ski these boots will keep you comfy and allow you enough movement to actually make the learning process easier. Just a heads up though, they do stomp out after a lot of use because the liners aren't totally top notch, they are easy and cheap to replace though!

Ratha yatra - Taipei3,530 Views / EMail This Post / Print This Post / Home » Ratha yatra - Taipei
Dayal Nitai das: Taipei, Saturday October 18th - At the occasion of the 7th annual Dream Parade in Taipei City, capital of Taiwan, ISKCON devotees chanted and danced in the streets during their 3rd annual participation in the Parade. As the Parade year by year improves in performance and size, so does ISKCON's participation. Their Lordships Sri Sri Jagannatha, Baladeva and Srimati Subhadra looked gorgeously pleased on their newly built rath. Devotees from Taiwan, Hong Kong, India, Australia, Canada and various European countries accompanied the Lord, chanting enthusiastically all afternoon and sharing
2000 packets of wonderfully presented prasadam with appreciative onlookers. On still another float, a life-size fiberglass cow proudly took the first place on an Olympic style stage. 'Thank You For Eating Vegetarian' was the message written on the float in both Mandarin and English. At the conclusion of the parade, the devotees and their carts were invited on the large stage for more kirtan. All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

This is just overkill, don't you agree?
I love ice cream as much as anyone.
But who needs so many flavors to be a happy and satisfied customer?
With a double scoop of mint chocolate chip, I am a pretty happy camper.
But this simple sentiment only reflects Mike Perry, a typical consumer.
The co-founders of Baskin-Robbins, however, had a different perspective; they had a broader vision. Obviously they were savvy marketers.
They were exceptional businessmen, too.
Burt Baskin and Irv Robbins knew 65 years ago, that consumers wanted many choices. Moreover, they believed they could build a profitable business, despite a very modest average ticket price, if the experience of every customer visit was a memorable one, and that most transactions could be easily repeated at other locations.
It is noteworthy that Baskin-Robbins' stores aspire to become "America's Favorite Neighborhood Ice Cream Shop." Hmmm. Is this sounding a lot like your carwash?
I wonder, how can we make marketing and selling car washes as easy and fun as scooping ice cream?
Some might say, the notable success of Baskin-Robbins is because undecided customers can always use a tiny pink spoon to sample a new flavor, before making a purchase decision.
What would happen if you offered a complimentary birthday wash to consumers on that special day? Could this one small act help create a shopping pattern?
Also, wouldn't many of these "sampling" customers return at a later date to buy your best wash?
This new year, think like Baskin and Robbins. Become innovative. Like these two great entrepreneurs, you too may discover many new ways to build a bigger customer base.

Leaders in surgical repair of omphalocele
Children's Medical Center is ranked among the top pediatric hospitals in the nation and is home to one of the most distinguished surgical centers in the nation. Performing more than 20,000 surgeries annually, the surgical team at Children's has the experience and knowledge necessary for intricate fetal surgical repairs such as omphalocele and other abnormalities.Read More
Dr. Robert P. Foglia, a recognized expert in the surgical repair of omphalocele and Dr. Robert Minkes, also a surgeon at Children's, are foremost leaders in the surgical repair of omphalocele, gastroschisis and other fetal defects. Together they have authored and contributed to a number of leading textbooks on pediatric surgical repair, offering more than 30 years of combined experience in teaching others how to be pediatric surgeons.
Parents who receive a fetal diagnosis of omphalocele will meet with a team of specialists to develop the best plan for their baby's care. Because infants with omphalocele are likely to have additional needs, a neonatal nurse will be designated to coordinate care for these babies and be available as a resource for their families during the surgical process.Read Less

Study Confirms What We Already KnewHarry Potter Made The World A Better Place
From the (first) time you read the first Harry Potter book and fell in love with Hogwarts, Quidditch, and basically all things magic, you knew Harry Potter was one of the best things to ever happen to you.
Not only did you learn an entire list of new spells and start referring to yourself as a Muggle on the daily, you also learned some valuable life lessons, like the importance of friendship and standing up for what you believe in (cue Neville trying to fight Harry and Ron when they wanted to sneak out of Gryffindor Tower). But a scientific study has found that Harry Potter had a much bigger impact, helping to change the world—at least the Harry Potter-reading world.

HOLLAND, MI (WHTC) - Those motorists who had to wait until the end of the week paycheck was deposited before filling up their gas tanks were the proverbial losers in the Lakeshore's version of gas price lottery. An overnight spike of around a quarter per gallon made the average for regular fuel stand at $3.34, according to this morning's weekly survey of Holland area stations. One retailer held out for the lower mark of $3.12, but the others were an almost uniform $3.35 when canvassed. While today's mean is four cents higher than last Friday's poll, it is nine pennies less than a year ago. Triple-A's daily surveys had marks of $3.29 nationally and $3.27 statewide.

Race car suspension Class

Thanks John..means a lot when we get reports from the other side of the world...and I was the guy who thought the internet was a FAD...
we went thru this on page 26 of this forum with a fellow running a drawf car...wider is better in that you have more cornering ability in that for a given set up you will transfer less weight and the tires can better accommodate the weight that is transferred. Also the Left rear to right front leverage is improved slightly...and thus side bite off the turn with a tad more wedge..read the whole page as we had a good debate on this...
General Rule of thumb - 1 inch lower COG transfers 3 to 4 % less weight. 1 inch wider car transfers 1 to 1 1/2 % less weight.
Assume we have a race car with 66 inch wide rear track and we add 100 weight to the ballast and we locate this weight 20 inch from the center line of the left rear tire. 20" divided by 66" = 37% of the added weight will go to the right and 63 % will go to the left side of the car ( diagonal weight is not in this calculation). Now if we increase the track width on t he left side by one inch we have 21" divided by 67" = 31% right side weight and 68 % left side weight. (from Short track chassis set up by Duke Southard)

What do you feel is more important On dirt oval?
Getting shocks to work perfectly with spring rate for each corner of the car
Using dampening to control weight transfer.
This is to settle argument.
I feel like proper spring selection should be used to control weight transfer and dampening should be used to control that particular spring
Nov12-12, 12:05 PM
To specify:
Using front tie down shocks and a lr with stiff bump and light rebound.
Nov12-12, 12:25 PM

The purpose of a shock is to dampen the kinetic energy stored in the spring during weight transfer. Specifically the shock converts this vertical energy to heat energy by creating resistance to movement within the shock. Shocks control the RATE of weight transferred during cornering. Shocks have nothing to do with the amount of weight transferred during cornering. They can affect how quickly the weight is transferred.
So using shocks dampening to control weight transfer is not exactly correct. Using the dampening to control the RATE of weight transfer is correct.
The amount of weight transferred is dependent on the center of gravity, roll axis and roll rates. Where the weight is transferred is dependent on the spring rates. How quickly this weight is transferred is controlled by the shocks. So Thorpe, you are a little closer to the true purpose of the shock than the other fellow..my opinion. And you are right on with the tie down scenario in that you are tuning the chassis regarding rate of transfer after you get the spring rate real close to perfect!
Nov13-12, 12:37 PM
Thanks for the info. We just agreed to disagree lol.
What I'm looking for this weekend is s small bit of tire loading control by change in transfer rate.
On a med bank track with decent grip.
I plan to run:
Rf lf Soft.
Lr 2 rates higher than front.
Rr one rate up from front.
Then stiffer bump and rebound in both lf and lr.
From what I understand stiffer lf bump and lr rebound unloads lr tire load sooner on entry and takes cross weight out.
Then stiffer lf and lr bump adds cross weight on exit.
My hope is to be slightly loose entry and slightly tight off witch fits my driving style.
Nov13-12, 12:38 PM
Btw this spring setup has been very close with equal dampening all 4 corners
Nov14-12, 04:46 AM

All things are relative so i would make small changes like when you are on on a wet tacky or very tight track you want to loosen the chassis up on corner entry. Use a tie down shock on the Left front. This lets the left ft. drop down easily at corner entry and takes weight off the RR tire. This makes the car pivot around the Left Ft which makes it easier to steer in the the corner. The tie down shock delays weight transfers off the lefty front. In the middle of the corner when the chassis is transferring weight to the RR., it keeps the LF tied down to prevent a quick weight transfer to t he right rear. A stiffer LR shock with stiffer rebound holds the weight on the LR longer at corner entry not allowing as quick a transfer to the RT FT tire.
Nov14-12, 10:00 AM
Ok I see where you are going with this and it makes sense. Thank you for your time.
I got off track a little after reading this article about initial weight transitions.
Nov18-12, 10:50 AM
Also found a problem I've been fighting for while now. My upper links.
When I drew out the geometry I must have misinterpreted something and had the inner links higher. Thought I was lowering my rc but instead had raised it.
Made the swap real quick to lower them and WOW. All I can say. It was that great. Finally made everything I've been working towards come together for a great setup.
Thank you for your knowledge you are willing to share on here I know it has helped me tremendously

Thanks for the kind words..Ifin we were racing each other on the same track I doubt I would be as Christian...seriously I appreciate it.
I hope everyone realizes I have sourced some pretty good books and if everyone bought these, they would we able to figure things out..all I do is save a little time in the process and hopefully do not impart BAD advice that screws up some ones good set up...Like Jimmy Johnson just demonstrated, you have to FINISH to win. So this winter is the time to check and inspect every nut and bolt on the car. When in doubt ,,replace it!

Real good questions hear. Stagger – on open diff car , it is a waste of effort. The differential is doing its job and tire size will not impact the drive motion at all with this setup. Are you running stock diff or Ford 9 inch model?
But...you can use stagger on right front to add or take out wedge or cross weight. So when you are tire matching keep this in mind and 1/2 inch will do some good for you. Now back to the spring thing...wedge bolts or jack bolts are for at the track FINE TUNING ......period. If you go to the track without knowing where your Roll Center is and what's base line spring rate be you have no business cranking on a stupid jack bolt!..
You have restrictive rules on weight jack bolts..ok..use the stagger to tune it. You can buy spring rubbers to add more rate.
Sway bars ( anti roll bars) ..get as many different ones as will fit and know their spring rates and swap these out at the track until you figure out proper spring package. Shocks...you should have a good base line on these but I assume nothing and we can revisit later.
Not knowing all the rules you face all I can do is suggest.
I recommend you spend the $ 100 for Roll Center software. Measure the car, find out where the Roll center is.. Next , before you do anything, look at the rules to see if you can change the roll center height, legally. As a minimum, change the Front RC location to offset it to the right to plant some down force on the right front tire. Then see if you can drop the front RC and still keep it 3 to 3.5 inch to the right. When we drop the RC we kill off camber build and the jacking effect on the right front. Rear RC should come down as well and again depends on rules and you can get different spring heights and spring rates as the software tells you.
Next work on eliminating bump steer and know your camber build curve over +/- 3 inch travel.
More tips are to concentrate your efforts on going after big chunks of things like horsepower. Do look at a trick 2 barrel carb ( why put on a 4 bbl. carb when the tires cant possibly hook up.)
Hedders are good, after market ignition is good if..if... you have battery big enough to run the car all night without the alternator. I like a point eliminator type distributor kit like a photo cell and straight coil..no CD ignition. Simple and easy to trouble shoot at the track. In fact , forget roller rocker arms, big intake valves, trick engine stuff.. just the basics..keep cost down for more tire money. Spend it on brake caliper upgrades and better lighter rotors. Add brake bias pedal so you can dial in front to rear brake bias. Eliminate all the rubber suspension bushings and replace with brass or aluminum. But I am sure you fellows are already on top of this..my point is to show the newbies some areas to improve..economically..

Which roll center software package do you prefer? I have been looking at the Performance trends & Auto-Ware. Both look similar but Auto-ware looks more up to date and more user friendly.

Auto Ware software is a good product from what I can see..
I think Kevin and the Performsnce Trends software is a little more advanced in that it has the higher end capabities of watching dive and roll dynamically and can use data loggers to collect the data input..plus i have many legacy programs already form over the years...
any serious racer needs at least one of these to find Roll Center and adjust accordingly

A lot of you sent private messages to me about running in very restrictive stock classes and what advantages you can make over competition.
One area often overlooked is the Rear ARB or Sway Bar. We have discussed the Soft Spring Big Bar set up in pretty great detail in previous posts here.
The whole idea of using a BIG Bar on the rear is to permit spring squat and thus more traction coming off the corners. Since you are forced to run hard spec tires, any advantage to putting more traction down will be a great advantage 9 all other things considered.)
A quick review of the ARB - sometimes also called anti-sway bars or anti-roll bars. Their purpose in life is to try to keep the car's body from "rolling" in a left turn.
When you are inside the car, you know that your body gets pulled toward the outside of the turn. The So the right part of the car on the outside of the turn gets pushed down toward the road and the left side part of the car on the inside of the turn rises up. In other words, the body of the car "rolls" 10 or 20 or 30 degrees toward the outside of the turn. If you take a turn fast enough, the tires on the inside of the turn actually rise off the road and the car flips over.
Too much Roll is bad. It tends to put more weight on the outside tires and less weigh on the inside tires, reducing traction. Proper amount of body roll will load the right front tire and assist in improving traction through the turn. Ideally, we would like the body of the car to remain flat through a turn so that the weight stays distributed evenly on all four tires.
ARB tries to keep the car's body flat by moving force from one side of the body to another. When you go into a turn, the front suspension member of the outside of the turn gets pushed upward. The arm of the ARB gets pushed upward, and this applies torsion to the middle section. The torsion moves the arm at the other end of the rod, and this causes the suspension on the other side of the car to compress. The car's body tends to stay flat in the turn.
If you have too much ARB, you tend to lose independence between the suspension members on both sides of the car. When one wheel hits a bump, the ARB transmits the bump to the other side of the car as well, which is not what you want. The ideal is to find a setting that reduces body roll but does not hurt the independence of the front or rear springs.
Back to the street Stock set up. If we replace the spindly stock sway bar with a much beefier one, and we switched to much softer rear springs, we still control the body roll and at mid turn after the weight transfer has zeroed out, we can point the car and jump on the throttle much quicker since we wil be loading the rear tires to more of a degree than with our previous set up. Just something to think of when its snowing out side..

Excellent points..pls look at page 2 on how we figured weight that was transferred and look at page 20 for rear motion rates.. We really got to be on top of the front ' spring rates' ( and ARB) to control roll and proper rt ft wheel loading.. the rear...well... we are not talking about a heck of a lot of transfer...i.e. we got a 3100 pound street stocker...going into a medium to high bank turn..
on stock hard tires...for the sake of this discussion we assume we corner at 1.3 G...way high but the figure is common in prior posts so here is the math..
3100 pound car times .35 means 1085 weight transfer up front and left to right. We figured that 75% is going up front so 75% of 1085 is 814 pounds...so both springs and the ARB have to handle 272 pounds with motion rate is figured in...mean while we have 25 % of 1085 pounds or 271 pounds going from left to right in the rear. This is not a lot of weight for the springs to handle. In fact , if we add in the rear ARB we have 271 / 3 = 90 pounds for each spring and the ARB to deal with.
Typical ( per post 308 page 20) Ford 9 inch rear end has a .688 Motion Rate (MR)... so we have the formula WR = (MR x MR) x SR (spring rate).. just FYI...a .688 MR squared is .473
so if we want to handle 90 pounds of weight with each spring ( ARB calculated separately but to have same effectiveness) the math is
90= .473 x SR so...SR= 90 / .473 or 190 lbs. spring....typical stocker run 250# or so Rear springs WITH OUT the ARB.
So you see , the opportunity of using the rear ARB to counter left to right roll and potential for rear squat to really hook up the tires is pretty good.
One rumor from the NASCAR side of the house was the rear ARB was mounted in such a way as to close the skirt gap of the skirting on both sides of the new Car of Tommorow..AT SPEED...which is very difficult to detect when going thru tech inspection. Somebody talked and now the ARB links have to be perdendicular to the ground as viewed from all sides. Seems some enterprising team chief figured out if you can seal up the skirting better than the other guy, you got more grip going into the corner and could run deeper..so...if you use some really compliant mounting bushings and angled them ....???

The 96th Queen of the Rose Parade, Ana Marie Acosta, took her place with the Royal Court in the 125th Rose Parade on Jan. 1, 2014. The float on which the Court rode was announced by the Pasadena City College Herald Trumpets, who have heralded the Queen and Court in every Rose Parade since the 1970s.
Queen Ana wore a pearl crown designed by Mikimoto and she and the Rose Princesses wore Mikimoto pearl necklaces and Tadashi gowns. Macy's, the float sponsor, provided wardrobes for all the young women.
The six Rose Princesses are Sarah Elizabeth Hansen, Kayla Diyana Johnson-Granberry, Jamie Ann Kwong, Katherine Diane Lipp, Elyssia Hadi Widjaja, Elizabeth Katie Woolf. The attached slideshow has photos of all the girls on the Royal Court, and related articles can be found in the article "Tournament of Roses 101: Getting to know the 2014 Royal Court."
The trumpeters and drummer are an elite group of musicians. More than 70 auditioned for the nine trumpet positions, and 30 for the solo snare. Director Kevin Brown has led the group, which plays at many events involving the Royal Court, for 31 years.
More than 6,000 roses were used in the decoration of the float, along with white gerberas and maiden hair fern. The crown canopy was created with crisp white sweet rice with pearls of lunaria and accents of white beans.

Using geolocation data, the credit card company proposes a plan that will only allow card transactions when a users' smartphone is within close proximity.
On today's episode, we'll count the days until you'll never have to sign a credit card receipt again. We'll also recount a story of a mailing glitch that shows exactly how much banks know about your life, and discuss the merits of the Agree It app that lets you borrow real money from your Facebook friends.
The head of MasterCard's emerging payments business talks to CNET about its MasterPass initiative, mobile payments, and beyond.
The next-generation 2-in-1 card features an embedded LCD display and touch-sensitive buttons for generating one-time passwords.
An earlier version of this story incorrectly included MasterCard as one of the companies affected, based on a Reuters report. MasterCard was not cited in the indictment.
Cyberattacks against the Nasdaq, J.C. Penney, and others led to "hundreds of millions of dollars" in losses, say federal prosecutors.
In a world first, Westpac is trialling a system that stores debit card data in your phone's SIM card, to work with any MasterCard PayPass payment system.
MasterCard's PayPass wallet will start with online purchases before moving to the physical world.
Until March 18, Barnes & Noble is offering $20 off the Nook Simple Touch and Nook Color e-readers if you purchase the products with a MasterCard.
Visa, MasterCard, Amex, and Discover see a big payday ahead in the emerging digital payment business. They're making sure they're in the game along with tech companies, retailers and phone companies.

Hey Tumblr :)
This is what me and my dorm room look like right now.
I look awkward because I hate pictures lolz
Goodnight now
I am in the car right now!
Because sjadhglaisugduislkj I am GOING to COLLEGE
See you in a bit<3
I quit my job today!
Because I'm going to school! I finally got to leave <3
That place has had its ups and downs. But I'm glad to be out of there.
The first thing I did when I finished my shift was to take off my mandatory non-slip shoes and chuck them right in the fucking garbage before the astonished stares of my managers and the other servers. And then I walked out. And went to a party. Without any shoes.
Hi guys, I'm back!
Personal post time; if you don't care then just move along :]
I realize I haven't posted in a while and that that's inexcuseable but there are two reasons:
- I broke my super crappy old laptop, and the only other computer I had available to me was so slow it couldn't even run Tumblr without crashing … but now I have a super fantastic, beautiful new laptop (because I'm going to COLLEGE soon) so … I'm back.
- I've been super incredibly busy, working a lot and trying to make as much money as I can before starting school, as well as some fun things and college preparations. Fun things include:
- Graduation
- My 18th birthday (in FOUR DAYS OH MY GOD)
- Six Flags trip I've been trying to organize … :P
- Five-day trip to New Orleans to visit family (I'm so, SO excited. I swear my heart belongs in that town. Although I will, unfortunately, be missing my best friend's birthday D: - I got her a REALLY REALLY AWESOME gift but I won't say what it is here because she follows this blog :3)
[Here's where I get into hippie-related stuff that I wanted to tell you] Speaking of New Orleans trip, as a graduation present, my grandmother gave me two "travel vouchers" that basically say she will buy me plane tickets to anywhere in the Continental US, between now and 2015 (when I graduate college, we hope). So, so awesome. So the NOLA trip is one of them, and as for the other… I'm thinking Southern California next summer. Berkeley much?!! Or maybe I should visit Woodstock, New York (although it probably won't be the same without masses of people and Jimi Hendrix).
And finally, a personal story I wanted to share:
I snuck out late at night the last time there was a full moon. It was a hot, hot June night and flashes of heat lightning kept streaking across the sky. I went to a clearing I know by my neighbor's house where I sat down on the ground and watched the lightning and stared at the moon for hours… but the part that was truly amazing was that the trees all around were lit up with hundreds and hundreds of fireflies. It was one of the most beautiful things I'd ever seen. I just wanted to share that with you all, and fix it permanently in my mind <3
Okay, long post. Sorry. Peace <3 and goodnight.
Walked around the supermarket barefoot earlier
every single person glanced at me, then did a double take at my clothes, then panned down and saw I was wearing no shoes. They then gave me a really scared face and quickly moved on
what's so scary about freedom?
I have to walk across a very busy road to get home from my bus stop, and a lot of times I've kicked off my shoes by the end of the day. I get lots of strange looks from drivers XD Have they never heard of the joy that is warm weather?
the Weekly Tarot
doesn't seem to be as popular as I was hoping it would be, so I'm going to stop doing them.
I have two more week's worth scheduled, so I'm just going to let them play themselves out… but I need some new ideas from you all.
I'll take any suggestions: what do you want to see on this blog?
Okay, so let me start by clarifying a few things.
For starters, I'm just an average girl who is pretty much fascinated by the era of the sixties and seventies in which peace was the way to go, change was achieved through nonviolent protest, and people cared a hell of a lot more about things than they do today.
That being said, I can't really call myself a hippie for a few reasons:
- I eat meat. Like, all the time. I do try to buy organic and free-range, however, so at least the poor thing doesn't have to suffer for its deliciousness.
- I do not smoke marijuana. Don't ask me this please. If you're looking for a marijuana blog, try stonerparty.tumblr.com or fuckyeahweed.tumblr.com (otherwise known as wearefyw.com.)
- I take showers.
- I wear normal clothes made out of normal materials like cotton and even the odd synthetic.
So basically, I'm an average teenage girl. I do listen to a lot of superold music though :) And I do recycle obsessively, celebrate Earth day like a wierdo, and think "An Inconvenient Truth" is one of the greatest films ever made.
What you can expect from this blog:
- Fairly erractic updates. I'm a busy person.
- Music from the era ranging from the late 50's to the early 80's.
- News clips and videos of events from the movement.
- Photos, text, and other posts celebrating all of hippiedom.
- (More or less) regular Tarot readings (yes I read Tarot - side note : I'm not very good at it but trying to get better) and Zodiac tidbits submitted by a dear friend of mine.
- Random crap I find on the Internet - because, hey, whose blog isn't like that? ;)

Project Name: Fitzsimons Redevelopment Master Plan/Colorado Bioscience Park
Project Location: Aurora, Colorado
Purpose of the Project
The 1995 closure of the Fitzsimons Army Medical Center east of Denver resulted in a 578-acre campus to be shared by the University of Colorado (CU) and the Fitzsimons Redevelopment Authority (FRA). CU plans to relocate its Health Sciences Center (UCHSC) there, developing 10 million square feet for clinical, research and education uses, while the FRA plans to develop five million square feet for bioscience research facilities and associated uses. This master plan gives framework-level definition for the FRA's development, in coordination with the university's master plan.
The plan is intended to establish a strategic vision for the FRA and guide future planning and design decision-making. The document may be used by prospective development teams to evaluate the potential fit of their projects within the redevelopment requirements.
Plan recommendations emerged from street-based urban design principles, where buildings are positioned as part of an integrated public realm. Streets are well distributed and interconnected in order to manage traffic, establish development frontage and organize utilities. The street framework and associated parcels are organized to flexibly accommodate various bioscience enterprise sizes. Multi-tenant, single-tenant and multiple-building opportunities exist within the development framework. Blocks have been sized to accommodate parking with direct relationships to buildings that they serve.
A hierarchy of outdoor spaces links the regional park, central commons, corporate courtyards and plazas. These spaces are important meeting places for users of the Bioscience Park and Health Sciences Center.
The land-use plan is programmed for diversity, promoting residential, retail, recreational, hospitality and conference facilities to complement and serve education, office and laboratory uses. Two primary mixed-use centers are proposed for the site, both of which are organized around transit stations. Development densities in these areas must achieve thresholds necessary for effective use as transit villages. Structured parking is viewed as a key ingredient in this equation and selected historic buildings are integrated into these centers.
Architecture in the Bioscience Park is mandated as contemporary, with diverse themes, derived from the innovative missions of individual corporate tenants, with the guiding principle that non-traditional buildings will each contribute a unique identity to the park. These buildings will be unified in their attention to massing build-to lines and public space relationships.
Role of the Landscape Architects vs. Role of Other Participants
The landscape architect was responsible for leading the master-plan process, facilitating consensus building and establishing design guidelines for future development. A civil engineering firm was responsible for street and utility infrastructure.
The plan is the product of a nine-month-long series of presentations and work sessions, with input of university groups and Aurora City agencies, as well as three development teams, which participated in a several-stage interview process as candidates to develop the core mixed-use area known as Fitzsimons Commons. Hotel and office developer representatives were interviewed by the landscape architect to test organizational viability of the plan. Following work sessions with representatives from the Children's Hospital, University Hospital and the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center; a parking consultant reviewed and confirmed the primary parking recommendations of the plan.
Special Factors
The redevelopment of the former Fitzsimons Army Medical Center represents an unparalleled opportunity to establish a bioscience research park affiliated with a major academic medical institution. The development will be distinguished from its competitors as a model a true "Life-sciences City." Including the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center, the Colorado Bioscience Park Aurora and the Fitzsimons Commons, the development will function as a place to work, educate, discover, live, shop and recreate. The spirit of Colorado will be celebrated with an emphasis on an integrated and vital public realm that expresses the theme of health and wellness.
Factors that support this development include readily available land, a direct relationship to a premier medical teaching and research university, strong transportation access and close proximity to housing. Realistic development potential is further enhanced by favorable access to venture capital and an enthusiastic embrace by local political forces.
Direct highway and arterial access ring the site, and light-rail transit will improve its metro reach dramatically. A central metropolitan location allows a 20-minute drive to Denver International Airport, downtown Denver or the Denver Tech Center. A 30-minute drive reaches 50 percent of the metro area. Immediate proximity to a diverse collection of neighborhoods, including a redeveloping Stapleton Airport, establishes a broad demographic base of potential employees.
The Bioscience Park and Health Sciences Center is not designed as a closed enclave. The plan takes into account its location and use, which allow for it to take advantage of evolving market conditions and growth opportunities in its surroundings. The plan organizes the redevelopment to function as a catalyst, casting the perimeter of the campus as a strong interface along the Colfax Avenue commercial corridor and seeking to integrate the Fitzsimons project with redevelopment opportunities along its edges. This will allow the Fitzsimons plan, as it comes to fruition, to exert a catalyst influence on adjoining underdeveloped or re-developable properties – including the addition of housing and commercial areas to employment uses. Significant live-work opportunities will broaden the appeal for prospective corporate tenants. Improved housing options for educated professionals and students will become more important as the medical and bioscience uses mature. Ownership units will stabilize the area and establish a sense of community. Affordable housing will address a likely mixed demographic campus need.

Is DWTS Taking The Cut Out Of Cutler?!?!
I know a lot of people in Texas could care less about Jay Cutler…BUT…I have hometown ties to the Chicago Bears QB (he played at a rival high school) so I'm always intrigued to see what he's screwing up. You know…like when he cut off his engagement to Kristin Cavallari and "broke her heart." I use to hate Kristin on Laguna Beach and all the reality shows she faked her way through, but fell in love with her when I found up she put up with Cutler's crap so much he actually proposed!!!! Then she popped up on DWTS and blew me away, definitely my surprise fave! Now that she's back on TV and doing things on her own and for herself, of course Jay is coming back around! Kristin tweeted a pic of herself in a Bears jersey before his last game and the 2 have been heating up sweet tweets to each other. Check out her Marilyn Monroe looking quickstep on DWTS:

Survey: Philadelphia is one of America's snobbiest cities
Philadelphia is one of the country's snobbiest cities, according to a ranking compiled by Travel + Leisure.
The travel magazine used reader responses to its 2012 America's Favorite Cities survey to calculate so-called "snobbiness" metrics in each of the country's major metropolitan areas.
Factors included the availability of high-end shopping, artisanal coffeehouses and "highbrow cultural offerings like classical music and theater," along with measures of each city's tech-savviness and "reputation for aloof and smarty-pants residents."
The city of Brotherly Love ranked 14 out of 20 on the list, tying Kansas City, Mo., for the dubious honor.
San Francisco was ranked the nation's most stuck-up city due to its foodie reputation and highbrow gallery and boutique scene, followed by New York City and Boston (apparently, intelligence and a sense of history are two key traits of the snobby.)
Houston, Portland and San Juan rounded out the bottom of the list, coming in 18th through 20th, respectively.
Travel + Leisure in its ranking of Philly's hauteur cited the city's "historic pomp" – as displayed throughout the Historic District – and cocktail lounges in hot 'hoods like Rittenhouse and East Passyunk Square.
That aspect is unsurprising – Philadelphia was in the Favorite Cities survey rated the country's second best city for historical sites and monuments, second only to Washington, D.C.
Philly also ranked number one in the Favorite Cities survey when it came to sports fans, which, per the hoity-toity cities list really stoked its snooty status.
The magazine stated Philly's "most prevailing 'haughtiness'" involves "face paint and foam fingers: The locals ranked highly for being sports-crazed."
Tailgating and beer pounding doesn't sound like the stuff of snobbery?
Perhaps why Travel + Leisure in its prologue to the list noted, "Locals can be 'snobs' about one local feature – say, the music scene in Austin – and then blase about another (a casual fashion sense, also in Austin)."
In other words, don't expect to see Louboutins at the Linc anytime soon.

In a hunt for a new USB drive with more storage space than my sad little 256 MB that I bought for a whopping $56 in 2003 (yikes!), I ran across the ATP 8GB EarthDrive, which touts itself as the levitra en gel world's first earth-friendly USB drive. The drive has some great features, such as it is shock proof, water proof and dust proof, has built in security software, drive partitioning, password protection and is nice and big with 8 GB of storage. But what makes it so hot as a world's first for eco-friendliness?
This claim to fame comes the fact that it is made from bio-recycled plastics and is fully recyclable at the end of its life. Taking it a tree-hugging step further, a portion of all EarthDrive product sales goes towards the planting of trees through their partnership with American Forests. For $48, I think I can make a pretty guilt-free upgrade.
