What's old is new again with many of today's automotive technological advances as makers seek to entice increasingly savvy buyers by adding not only glitzy toys, but ease, function, and efficiency.
Among the returning favorites is rear-wheel drive. Thirty years ago most domestic cars had front engines driving the back wheels. Then came boasts of increased fuel efficiency and traction with front-wheel drive, and the industry began developing front-wheel drive for nearly everything except trucks and high-performance cars.
Now, however, the cycle is returning to rear-wheel drive as experts say advances in technology have lessened front-wheel-drive advantages. Chrysler, Ford, and General Motors are all returning their efforts to rear-wheel drive, giving more power and performance to their luxury and sports cars.
Meanwhile, V-8 engines are regaining favor for their seamless acceleration and satisfying power curve. The improvement is more horsepower from smaller engines using, in some cases, the venerable idea of supercharging. The new Jeep Grand Cherokee for 2005, for example, uses a standard V-6 engine, but will also be offered in a V-8.
And there is even more horsepower being offered up by some makers. BMW's new M5 will have a V-10 engine, and Mercedes-Benz is offering a V-12. The dozen cylinders churn out 493 horsepower aided by twin turbochargers. That's enough to get three of their models - including the SL600 to 60 miles per hour in a zippy 4.5 seconds.
Still, while power and performance are returning to their roots in several key areas, advances in other areas are leading to innovations in everything from transmissions and cruise controls to lighting and navigational aids. Here is a look at just some of the innovations changing the face of today's automotive industry.
Seven is Better Than Five
Mercedes-Benz uses this on its V-8 engines, but also offers an unusual feature: The transmission will skip a gear in downshifting to pick the right ratio. On the BMW M5, the seven-speed transmission lets drivers shift with either the lever in the console or with paddles on the steering wheel. BMW also offers a Drivelogic system into which a driver can program characteristics for different driving situations.
Smart Cruising
Cruise control systems now automatically slow your car if it gets too close to the one ahead. BMW's Active Cruise Control, which is linked to a navigational system, also slows your car if you're entering a curve too fast.
On-Board Computer
The BMW 7 series offers an iDrive computer system that can control everything from the car phone and navigational system to the radio and climate. It also can be programmed with data for a trip, to remind you of your next service check, and settings to ensure proper braking on hills.
Lights, Camera, Action
Lexus offers its Adaptive Front Lighting System to help illuminate a turn. A computer calculates the optimum lighting direction based on speed and steering angle and swivels the headlights. It was a great idea in the ill-starred Tucker, which used a center-mounted headlight. The difference is that the Lexus made it to mass production.
Cadillac and Lexus also have models using infrared lighting to show nighttime objects beyond headlights. The view is projected onto a section of the windshield. It's especially good on dark country roads.
Helping drivers see where they're going is also why some luxury cars have begun installing rear-backup cameras that work with the car's navigation-system screens. When reverse gear is selected, an image in full color, of course of what's behind the car is projected on the navigation screen.
Concierge in Your Car
OnStar from General Motors comes with new Generation 6 hardware for in-vehicle safety, security, and information services. There's upgraded hands-free voice recognition with better accuracy and more intuitive continuous digital dialing. OnStar uses global positioning system satellite networks and wireless phones. The new OnStar Advance Automatic Crash Notification system is available on select models. It makes crash data available to 911 centers to help them dispatch appropriate emergency personnel and equipment.
Cadillac owners get 12 free months of the Cadillac Virtual Advisor from OnStar that provides three-day weather forecasts and reports of traffic within five, 10, or 15 miles of the vehicle in most major markets. It monitors traffic for three personalized routes and will also keep drivers updated on 10 selected stock prices.
The demand and popularity of OnStar has led it to other brands such as "Volkswagen Telematics by OnStar," and to add premium options such as concierge services. Subscribers can get help from specially trained OnStar staff for everything from planning a vacation to buying event tickets.
Other brands have adapted their own similar systems such as Ford/Lincoln's RESCU system, Mercedes-Benz' TeleAid system, Nissan/Infiniti's Communicator system, and Jaguar's ASSIST system.
Mix and Match
The new hybrids overcome the inherent drawbacks of electrics batteries with limited range and power. And they do so with brave new technology that marries the internal combustion gasoline engine with electric motors all computer driven. Sometimes the results are a bit unusual. For instance, fuel economy is better in stop-and-go city driving than on the highway. That's because the electric motor is doing most of the city driving and the gasoline engine powers over-the-road stints.
Toyota pushes hybrids with its second-generation Prius. Other players include Ford, Honda, and Lexus. General Motors has a number of hybrid systems, even one aimed at trucks.
Prius II is bigger the wheelbase (distance between front and back axles) is up 6 inches to 106.3, or mid-size car length. The roomy interior provides the usual good Toyota driving position, though it maintains a somewhat geeky approach with center-mounted speedometers and energy monitor. But the Prius now can accelerate to 60 mph in 10.5 seconds, down from last year's 12.7 seconds. Neither are land speed records, but the combined fuel economy of 55 mpg makes up for it. And that's up from 48 mpg last year.
In the new Ford Escape Hybrid, the continuously variable transmission automatically changes gear ratios to supply the right power for the right speed for the gasoline engine, the electric drive, or both. It also meanders to 60 mph in 10.5 seconds. But batteries are getting better. The Ford battery has an eight-year warranty. "In our testing we've gotten 150,000 miles/10 years or the useful life of the vehicle," says Mary Ann Wright, Ford's director of sustainable mobility technologies and hybrid vehicle programs and chief engineer for the Escape.
The Escape costs about $3,000 more than a comparably equipped regular Escape, and Ms. Wright says buyers typically are technologically savvy and well educated with household incomes of more than $100,000. But the real significance of hybrids is that they pave the way for true alternative fuel vehicles using hydrogen, she says.
"The key is doing the hybrid first because of the same fundamental technology. You use the same battery, the same regenerative braking system. Hydrogen fuel cells, which generate electricity chemically, are 15 to 20 years away," says Ms. Wright. "But you won't get there if you don't start. So fossil-fuel engines are here for a while."
Meanwhile, the Chevrolet/GMC Hybrid FlexPower uses a starter-generator that provides fast, quiet starting power. The company says fuel economy gains amount to 10 percent to 15 percent, and the FlexPower gets 18 mpg in the city and two more mpg on the highway. The starter-generator also provides electric current for the batteries and coast-down regenerative braking to improve fuel economy. The system can be switched at rest to provide mobile power generating for tools and equipment. Chevrolet/GMC also has installed electrical outlets in the beds of the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra pickups for their hybrid systems.
And more hybrids are in the market every day. American Honda runs two hybrids the Insight and a Civic subcompact with the Accord mid-size to join them. The Mercury Mariner will join the Escape and a future mid-size, the Fusion. Toyota adds the Highlander sports utility, and its Lexus mate, the RX 400h.

If you can't, that's fine, then I'll just tell you how to fix your highlights. ~DJCandyFun~ I do enjoy fun...8D 05:18, 27, 02, 2012 That's okay. And 'm sure they wern't that horrible. Well, you don't have to copy what I do, but I usually only use highlights on black cats, or really dark ones, where it can be hard to see the shading. Do you use layers? If yes, I set my layer opacity down to about 50.0 or below, depending on how the shading is done, and what color/shade the charart is. When I'm not using highlights, I guassion blur my shading at about a rate of 23.0, and I set the opacity down to around 50.0 - 60.0, but then again, it all depends. Sometimes, I give the highlights a golden tint for brown cats. I do my shading and highlights on separt layers. Hope this helps!

Data Updates
Keeping you up to date on the latest data releases.
September 2014 :: Banking and Financial Markets
- 09.19.2013
- Current Account
- The US current account deficit decreased to −$98.9 billion in the second quarter of 2013, a $6 billion decrease from the first quarter's revised $104.9 billion deficit (−$106.1 billion, previously). The current account deficit has now decreased four of the past five quarters. The contraction in the second quarter was driven by a decrease of $3.8 billion to $175.7 billion in the goods deficit and increases in both the surplus on income ($2.2 billion to $53.1 billion) and the surplus on services ($1.1 billion to $57.9 billion). Exports of goods, services, and income increased 0.9 percent to a level of $756.5 billion, while imports fell −0.1 percent to a level of $821.1 billion. As a percent of GDP, the current account decreased to &minus2.4 percent (from −2.5 percent).
- 06.14.2013
- Current Account
- In the first quarter of 2013, the U.S. current account deficit expanded to −$106.1 billion, a $3.8 billion increase from the fourth quarter of 2012's revised $102.3 deficit (-$110.4 billion, previously). In the current release, the Bureau of Economic Analysis revised data going back to 1999, resulting in a slightly smaller deficit for 2012. The first quarter's expansion in the current account deficit comes after three quarters of contractions. As a percent of GDP, the current account increased slightly to 2.7 percent (from 2.6 percent in the fourth quarter of 2012). Exports of goods, services, and income fell −0.2 percent on a quarterly basis while imports remained flat. The decrease in exports drove the overall expansion of the deficit.
- 11.07.2011
- Consumer Credit
- Total consumer credit outstanding improved in September, increasing 0.3 percent. On a year-over-year basis, total consumer credit is up 2.4 percent. For September, growth was concentrated in nonrevolving accounts, which grew 0.5 percent. Compared to September of last year, nonrevolving accounts are up 4.7 percent. The improvement in nonrevolving consumer credit has coincided with a sharp improvement in lightweight vehicle sales, which rose 8.0 percent in September. Comparatively, revolving accounts declined in September, falling 0.1 percent and are down 2.0 percent on a year-over-year basis.
- 06.07.2011
- Consumer Credit
- Total consumer credit outstanding rose for the seventh consecutive month in April, increasing 0.26 percent. The improvement follows a downwardly revised increase of 0.20 percent in March. On a year-over-year basis, total consumer credit outstanding increased for the first time since March 2009, rising 0.55 percent. The improvement in consumer credit outstanding was driven by continued growth in non-revolving accounts, which rose 0.44 percent in April. Revolving accounts declined 0.13 percent in April after increasing 0.01 percent increase in March.
- 05.06.2011
- Consumer Credit
- Consumer credit continued to increase in March, improving 0.25 percent on a seasonally-adjusted basis. On a year-over-year basis, consumer credit turned positive for the first time since February 2009, increasing 0.04 percent in March. The growth in consumer credit was driven by improvements in both revolving and non-revolving account balances. For the month of March, revolving credit balances rose 0.24 percent but remain down 5.24 percent since March 2010. The increase in revolving balances may be attributed to higher gas prices as consumers are likely to pay for gasoline purchases with a credit card. Non-revolving accounts grew for the sixth consecutive month, increasing 0.25 percent and are up 2.84 percent since March 2010. Questions remain as to how long growth in non-revolving credit will continue since the growth in non-revolving accounts has been driven primarily by strong new vehicle sales, which have shown some signs of leveling-off in the past couple of months.

19 Responses to Childfree Flights: Navigating the Unfriendly Skies?
Thank you! I had a couple of thoughts when I read the initial article about this whole thing, many of which you echoed.
1) The article made the grand assumption that the only people who are sometimes annoyed by children's behavior on planes are the child-free. Something tells me the dad trying to prep for a job interview on the flight or the career mom trying get a little work done on the plane don't want their seats kicked anymore than the 25-year-old child-free partier with the hangover. Like you mentioned, some child-free adults like kids and don't mind spending time with them at all.
2) The author of the article went directly to being offended when, as you pointed out, this is actually a good thing for them in many ways. As you said, they know that they person sitting next to them is at least okay enough with sitting near kids that they don't want to pay for an upgrade. Secondly, this may even give them a greater chance of sitting near other parents and kids that understand. Who knows – maybe the kids sitting near each other can play together and lower the parents' stress even more.
3) There is a slippery slope the other way too. If this is so discriminatory, then should we start getting rid of other places designed for loud kids? Like the quiet rooms in the backs of many churchs? How about eliminating the quiet aspect of the library? Will parents still be offended as their kids age to the point that we won't be able to have quiet dorms? These suggestions might sounds just as extreme as some of the slippery slope thoughts on the other side, but that's the point. It's extreme.
At the end of the day, for many people having children is a choice just like it's a choice for many not to have children. The choices of one shouldn't infringe upon those of the other.
As for actions to add to your list of airplane ettiquette, I do have one more. Don't scream or cry, unless the plane's going down or the flight attendent just jacked you in the elbow with the beverage cart. Inside voices, please.
Please, for the love of all things holy, talk to your doctor about medicines you can give your child to help them relax and sleep on the plane. An 8-hour flight is long enough- a screaming child added to that mix who yells at the top of their lungs for 6 of those hours makes the flight go on forever.
Also, if you KNOW you have a child who gets motion-sick, GIVE THEM THE MOTION-SICKNESS PILLS EARLY. I have seen so many parents who neglect to give the child the pill before the flight, only to try and shove it down their throats when they are already turning green and starting to make that *hork* noise. Again, an 8-hour flight turns into the flight from hell when the whole plane smells like barf directly after liftoff.
I like the parents who give their kids candy to keep them calm. Instead of a calm child we get a wild little beastie wielding a sticky lollipop and it's just a matter of time before that thing goes in someone's hair!!! Aren't they cute?! If candy is a must, can you at least lace it with Benadryl… or Valium? Hand them out to everyone! Happy flight for all!
I would have a rather unpopular opinion because I actually don\'t have much compassion for people on planes with children…..and I\'m the mother of 3. This is why, hear me out.
They chose this road. The parenthood road. On that road are circumstances that are not suited for small children. Flying would be one of them. They should know this. My first ever flight in my life was when I was 19 years old. My parents didn\'t take us on flights anywhere. If there was a trip they needed to go on, we got left with family. And, if it was a family trip, it was planned months in advance and was set up as a \"drive only\" trip. There are no circumstances I can think of where a small child would need to be on a plane except dire circumstances where intercontinental travel is necessary. That\'s it. And by dire, I don\'t mean pleasure.
If that\'s the circumstances they are in, then I do have compassion for them because it\'s a very tough thing to handle.
My kids were never on airplanes until they were over 13 and we have traveled quite a bit. I would have sooner jammed a crab fork into my eye sockets than take my kids on a plane before that age. I certainly don\'t have the patience to worry about how they\'re going to sit still for 5 hours and I sure as hell wouldn\'t expect the rest of the passengers on a plane to have the patience to suffer through it.
There just aren\'t a lot of real circumstances where small children and airplanes are appropriate. They can be avoided, and should be. If they choose not to avoid them, then I have little compassion and sympathy. Many people these days are trying to make the world treat their children as little tiny adults and afford them all the situations of such. They aren\'t little tiny adults and there are things that they just shouldn\'t be doing.
Ok people, this is really a first world problem here, especially for parents. Lets not get our panties in a bunch over premium-priced seats on Malaysia Airlines. I'm more concerned about teacher furlough days and paying $50 for a suitcase on United.
I read her essay and I can identify with her point. She's defensive, and all parents, especially parents who try really hard to keep their kids from being monsters, grow weary of being reminded where their place is – "in the back of the bus." It's a crude analogy, I admit, but it's true. This is a grow-up world and our kids are just living in it: lovely to be seen when they are cute and quiet, everyone's worst nightmare when they are having a bad day. Obnoxious people take up far too much space on our planet, but it is kids who are the easy target. "Please stay in the [back of church], [corner of the restaurant], etc., away from me, over there, where you won't invade my space." It's just another form of NIMBY-ism.
When I flew prior to having children, I loathed people who brought their stupid little dogs on a flight, people who took up my armrest, pushed in front of me in line, kicked my seat, etc. After flying with my kids? These things just do not bother me. Really, just let it go. We are not entitled to enjoy a spa-experience throughout our day. We are people, things suck sometimes. Get over it.
But more importantly, what exactly is that picture in your entry? A cat in a spacesuit? I've been trying to figure it out. I'm stymied.
I think it is 100% fine to have a childfree section of the plane. I think the issue is having entirely child-free flights–people are worried that they won\'t be able to get the flights they want because those flights have been designated \"child free.\" Another interesting topic of discussion is child free restaurants. Some people think they are fabulous, and other people are upset that they are being outright banned from dining in certain places with their children. I personally see both sides, but I hope that this isn\'t something that becomes widespread. Personally, I am totally fine with my kids and I being limited to Applebees–if I\'m going to spend the money to go out to a fancy restaurant, I\'m the LAST person who wants my kids around!
I think there should be a childfree section on planes, in restaurants, etc. I don't have kids, and don't enjoy putting up with other people's children. I echo LJ Rich's comments of 9/6/2012. As the oldest of four, we took family car trips, but never flew anywhere until we were in high school. My parents took brother #1 and me out to dinner (at Red Lobster) after we reached ten years old, so that we could practice our table manners. As the younger kids hit age ten, more of us would go out to dinner together. There were no trips to the county fair with toddlers and strollers as my parents thought it was much too expensive. We did go camping, hiking, fishing, and took trips to the library for storytime. We never went to sleepaway camp, but did daycamp with the Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts. Most family trips involved National Parks, Museums, and picnicing; we didn't go to an amusement park until the youngest was twelve, and we packed our lunch and drinks. I feel like my parents did it right. When we weren't old enough to know how to behave in public we weren't IN PUBLIC. Both my parents worked, my dad as a factory manager and my mom as an attorney, and even after they divorced the same united front of parenting continued. I know how much work, money, and effort goes into raising kids. As I said before, I'm the oldest of four, so I remember most of what my parents went through raising us. No, thank you.
Most parents don't sincerely want an end to all forms of age discrimination. Easily offended parents are the first to cry foul if there seems to be discrimination that works against them, but they fully accept discrimination when it HELPS them. I suspect very few parents would be willing to give up on all the forms of discrimination that work in their favor – lower admissions prices for children, children's menus, kids-eat-free deals, parental leave, etc.
I\'d think some parents would welcome the childfree sections, because then by default all other sections would technically be child-friendly. If anyone complains about your kid's behavior, you can just tell them, "if you don't like it, you should have chosen the childfree section."
I wonder what others think about another recent controversial airline policy involving children. Virgin Atlantic and other airlines will not sit an unaccompanied minor next to a male passenger. So, ladies, guess what – you may have a kid seated next to you just because you're female. Delightful what the airlines think about gender differences, no?
P.S. Hit the gym and bulk up those toothpicks, so you don't bonk the rest of us on the head…. : – )

Unfortunatly, this isn't me. Terefe Maregu had a good run on July 4, 2008 winning the AJC Peachtree Road Race. JOHNNY CRAWFORD/ AJC
Just about anyone that has run more than a few times knows a big part of a good run is mental. I can't put a number on it – say running is 65 or 75 percent in your head and the rest your legs – but I know my psyche plays a big part in my runs. More than half the total thought/effort when I run is in my head.
There is no way I could have run the entire Publix half-marathon earlier this year just on how my legs were working. From about five or six miles in until the end, I was in pain; from Georgia Tech until the finish, a lot of pain. But I told myself I was going to finish the thing (my first half-marathon in three-plus years), so I did in a pretty decent time.
Wednesday, in the crazy pre-severe weather winds that felt like they were also blowing against me, I had a very good run. Despite the weather – wind plus the beginnings of the heat and humidity – I felt good and ran quick. It was my fastest run on my three-mile training loop in the four months I've been back in Atlanta. Two days ago, I attempted the same run, and it was miserable. I couldn't finish it without stopping to catch my breath. One of the worst, if not the worst, runs since I've been back.
Here's my theory (call me crazy below, if you like): Monday, I was nervous before a meeting and awaiting some news. Today, I had just received that news and it was all very positive. I was in a great mood when I left my house, and I figure that carried on throughout the run.
There will be the days you're feeling great (like me today). There will be the miserable training runs where every step is awful, and you can't wait to be done. Your grand plan for a solid five-mile outing becomes a two-mile effort to go out and make it back home. Is my theory wrong? How do you make it through the bad days to get back to the good ones?
April 27th, 2011
7:48 pm
I KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN!!! I was just sitting here thinking why today was so hard and yesterday was easier… When I think about having to run, thats when my runs go wrong… Seems as though when the run is horrid, the minutes feel like hours… But yes it is all very mental..
April 27th, 2011
8:52 pm
It is just that way, sometimes it is all I can do to run 3 miles then I can go and run 7 like it was nothing. A lot of things take into place, what you ate the day before, what time you run, what's on your mind. I think the biggest thing is, at least even on a bad day run you have exercised and gave it a shot. You just have to know you are going to have days like that and don't beat yourself up. I ran my first Marathon in January and my IT band screamed at me the entire 26.2 miles but I just took it one mile at a time, tried to get involved in everything around me and I finished. Not quite as fast I would have liked but I did finish. It's not about how far or how fast it is about getting out there and just doing it.

just listen to your body in order to avoid injury. One of the most difficult things for beginners is the difference between soreness, pain and injury. Pushing through soreness is rewarding, but be careful not to injure yourself.
I am 42 and have been running for years. I currently put in about 45-50 miles per week. Forget about the bad days immediately…tomorrow is just a short time away. Sometimes, once you get half-way through a bad run..it turns into a decent one.
April 28th, 2011
7:36 am
Eyestone calls the long run the 'Meat and potatoes' of a training plan. In essence, don't skip it. Long can be defined as 22 miles or 6 miles, depending on one's goal and if you're a runner, no more explanation is needed. Moving ahead to the physical-mental aspects, who among us hasn't fought off those demons at some point..? Having to face and accept our personal limitations isn't a weakness, it's a reality else pain and suffering will follow. Those of us that learned the hard way (some more than once, me included) eventually learn to approach training with caution and stay within ourselves, venturing beyond the edge with careful steps so as not to repeat past mistakes that sat us down and kept us from the starting line. Mentally, every runner must get their mind right when affected by this one. Don't let the mental part whip you, run through it as best as you can knowing a better day is just around the corner…
April 28th, 2011
1:34 pm
I think you are right about the mental part. At various times I have kept a running journal, keeping track a year at a time of things like what I ate, time of day, temperature etc. The only thing I could never account for was the mental aspect of the run. Some days are just grueling, other days exhilarating. But I haven't a clue as to why. I have speculated that there are also deeper bio-rhythms at work but who knows. It makes me feel better to know that the elite athletes simply say some days it just isn't your day.

Moms Love 'Weeds'
Ande Dagan: Suburbia's slickest weed-dealing mom is back and already caught up in the thick pot smoke of things.
Season five picks up right where season four left off. Nancy, having ratted out Guillermo, has been called over by her Mexican gangster boyfriend, Esteban. When he shows Nancy a picture of herself talking to the Feds, Nancy one-ups him with the mommy-to-be's Facebook profile picture du jour: an ultrasound. Her ultrasound. With his baby.
Meanwhile, in a village somewhere down south, Celia is being held captive by her estranged daughter and her hot-white-guy-playing-a-Mexican boyfriend. The boyfriend, Rudolfo, goes through Celia's phone book and makes calls demanding ransom for her life. One by one he gets rejected, as everyone who has ever come in contact with Celia hates her. Rudolfo should have called me. I love that bitch.
Esteban decides to let Nancy live, since she is his baby mamma and the star of the show. She goes home to brother-in-law, Andy, who decides they should all move to wonderful Copenhagen where they'll be safe and happy. He then confesses his love for Nancy, who retorts, "I'm pregnant."
In the meantime, Nancy's two kids, Shane and Silas, are hot to follow in their mom's pot-dealing footsteps. Shane is slinging weed at his junior high library while Silas is gearing up to start growing his own crop along with Andy's stoner friend Doug in a nearby forest. And now that he's eighteen, it's officially okay to talk about how incredibly hot Silas is.
So basically everyone is tangled up in some sort of mess -- or about to jump into one. At one point during the half-hour show (why is it so short!?), my roommate turns to me and asks, "Why is Nancy such a dumb ass?" The thing is, she's not. In a world surrounded by men, Nancy Botwin holds her own. I won't get into the debate over whether she's a feminist hero or a terrible mom or neither. But if I were caught in some compromising ridiculous situation, I would call upon The Secret to grant me the charm and wisdom of Nancy Botwin in order to get out of it.
Next week -- craziness and hilarious one-liners by Kevin Nealon ensue.
I was just talking with my friend about this the other day at lunch . Don't know how in the world we landed on the topic really, they brought it up. I do remember eating a wonderful chicken salad with ranch on it. I digress…

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
I think this is a great change...I just wish the old names didn't have 90-day unavailability period. I'd like to swap a couple of my characters' names (A --> B and B --> A) because I transferred them, and they had the same name on the old server as my new characters. Yes, I could have made that happen when I transferred them, but it didn't seem like a good idea at the time.
And I have to laugh at the complaint about it being a "money making" scheme. They didn't have to offer it at all, ever. I don't know of any other MMO that allows it (nor do I care). If you made a silly name originally, you can keep it, reroll the slot, or pay $10.

Topic - Newtown Powys Indoor Bouldering/Climbing Wall Update.
Scottetanner - on 16 Feb 2014
Hey guys, thanks for so many of you getting intouch and soory to those of you i have not managed to meet with yet. It's great to know some any of you are local and intrested in our projects.
We have had a couple of set back with moving in dates with the land lord but we are now looking at being in out unit by march and up and running early april. We are still on the look out for route setters and climbing insturtors so if you're intrested please get intouch (On formal qualifactions of expirance needed) just a passion for climbing.
I am also heading up a project here in midwales working with the local council to build a outdoor climbing wall and bouldering wall. as well as developing a empty space uses programme for the council looking to make the best of the small spaces in parks and town going to waste.
My parposal is to put up climbing holds on wall in school and collages for kids to use on the weekends and even in school recreation time and well and P.E lessons. there is a catch, We dont have even close to the amount we need! so my plan is to ask you kind people to donate just one hold each, we then plan to create replicas by hand to get the projects off to a start for the summer. we are aslo looking at working closely with the Local community ploice at targeting troubled areas and developing activities for kids after schools and durring the summer to help provent anti social behavior.

We writers don't talk much about it, except to other writers . . . but the first week a book goes on sale has become as important as a movie's opening weekend.
I know, this makes no sense. Books are all about word-of-mouth. Someone tells you about a novel, you read it, you love it, you tell your friends – that's how a book becomes a bestseller. Or so you'd think. And no question there've been novels that have grown slowly and steadily into huge phenomena: think of THE KITE RUNNER or THE MEMORY KEEPER'S DAUGHTER.
That's old-fashioned publishing, and it's wonderful, and I wish it happened more often. But it rarely does. These days, if a book doesn't open strong, it's not easy to keep the momentum going.
And included in that first week are all the pre-orders – the book you buy now so you can get it the day it goes on sale. Or close to the first day, anyway.
So if you're a fan and you're planning on buying my new book VANISHED, there's no reason not to buy it now, especially since it will never be cheaper as many booksellers incentivize pre-orders with deep discounting.
And here's one more reason.
As a way to thank you for your early support, I'm going to make an offer that may well drive my wonderful assistant Claire around the bend. For every copy of VANISHED you buy between now and August 22nd at midnight, I'll send you a signed, personalized (if you'd like) copy of any of my last four paperbacks.
Even if you already have them all, I bet your Dad doesn't. Or your cousin Bruce or Aunt Sylvia, right?
Plus, I'll send you The Cowl, an original comic created by one of the characters in VANISHED, and a signed bookplate (for your new copy of VANISHED or if you have another of my previous books).
There are limited quantities of the comic book available in print so it may well become a collector's item!
All this and I'll even pay for the postage. (And "handling," whatever that is.)
It's my way of thanking you for your kindness and your support — and for telling your friends.
Click here for details on how to get your free paperback, The Cowl and bookplate!
Many thanks, Joe… Read more

Good evening Sir, my name is Chad. I come from a rough area. I used to be a pretty good cyclist, but then I poked Lance Armstrong. That is why I am addicted to crack.
That seems to be what Chad is saying on A&E's Intervention.
Way back when, Chad was on the US Postal Service cycling team. He showed a lot of potential, so he was invited to participate in a camp at an Olympic training facility. It was at this camp that he had a meeting with Armstrong that apparently changed his life forever.
In a former teammate's words: "Lance Armstrong was already a big star at that point. I think a lot of the young riders that were there were in awe of somebody like that. Chad wasn't necessarily somebody in awe of anything."
Other guy: "Chad walked up to Lance and called him a 'doughboy' and pushed his belly in and Lance got really upset."
Chad: "Needless to say, the next morning I was asked to leave the Olympic Training Center."
This put Chad's life into a tailspin. He fell into drugs, derailing a once-promising career.
Chad poked Lance Armstrong, yadda-yadda-yadda, Chad ended up a crack addict and on a cable television show where families confront addicts.
Meanwhile, Lance Armstrong is off with Kate Hudson.
The lesson here as always is: Life really sucks sometimes when you're not Lance Armstrong.

You're right
@ July 9, 2013 5:10 PM in Salvage Dawgsthey do. However, they were "Pantry Radiators". They went in butler's pantry's and they would put mainly plates on them to warm them for dinner but food could also be placed there.
I think nowadays they could be put at a mudroom entrance for shoes or put folded towels on it. Who knows what idea someone could come up with. Like your seed idea.

Salvage Dawgs
@ July 7, 2013 7:53 PM in Salvage DawgsJust got back from spending part of the weekend in Southwest Va not too far from where I live. Visited Black Dog Salvage, the guys on the TV show Salvage Dawgs. Actually went there for one reason. They had a radiator I have only ever seen in Dan's EDR book but never run across in all the years I have been in business. Well, after doing a pressure test on it to make sure it was OK I now own it. Of course the object will be to install it somewhere and sell it for a profit.
I had my EDR book with me when I was there and the owner saw it and asked about it. After looking it over he went to his computer and ordered one.
Hydronics Group
@ June 20, 2013 7:47 PM in Hydronics GroupAnyone here deal with The Hydronics Group near Toronto canada? Just wondering how they are?
No test
@ June 7, 2013 5:40 PM in 1940ish boilerThis boiler hasn't worked in a year. They went through this past winter by using the alcohol heating method. Drink more beer and you'll be fine. So I did not fire it. And to top it off there is a leak somewhere in the crawl that we need to find and see how bad it is before we consider the new boiler.
Oh, getting up and going to work every day is such a "I wonder what will happen today to make things interesting" life.
@ June 7, 2013 6:38 AM in 1940ish boilerYou're kidding, right? This is a frat house. I doubt this thing has been looked at once in the past 10 to 15 years. maybe. And since the fill and drain were also plugged solid we know that even if they were showing up they sure didn't drain anything.
@ June 7, 2013 6:35 AM in 1940ish boilerit's a closed syste. And since the feed was tied into the bottom rear of the boiler it was also plugged solid. As was the drain. It was fun getting the system drained down, I'll tell you that.
1940ish boiler
@ June 6, 2013 9:56 PM in 1940ish boilerStarted a boiler replacement, after waiting a week for asbestos removal. It's a 9 section National hot water boiler. We popped the sections and this is what the return passages looked like. They both looked like this. i wonder just how much flow there was really going on here.
Be careful
@ December 29, 2012 10:17 AM in Old Boiler...leaky expansion tankhow and where you mount the new #60. If the baldder in that thing ever ruptures and the tank gets water logged it will weigh about 72 pounds. Don't just hang it off a pipe. Use a bracket or something and mount it to a wall. They're supposed to be mounted vertically.
Good luck
Yep, we do
@ December 1, 2012 3:33 PM in Interesting dilemahave a restriction. 5 of them as a matter of fact. 5 monoflo tees with plugs in them. There are no valves except for ball valves. There is a B&G flow control but I manually opened it. Main heats relatively quickly considering the circumstances. No zone valves.
I've emailed the GC and told him we need to repipe this. We'll see what happens.
@ December 1, 2012 11:04 AM in Interesting dilemaMultiple boiler control. Has outdoor reset built in. Don't remember the number but I do remember I started using them fairly early on when they opened for business. So maybe we are not talking 30 years but it's damn close. I seem to remember Tekmar entered the scene in 83 or 84. Control still works fine. Either that or I added it at a slightly later date. I don't remember. I really don't have that many brain cells left. Sniffing too much primer and glue in my life.
That's my story and I'm sticking to it
Jeff Perry
Always do
@ December 1, 2012 10:52 AM in Interesting dilemaYou always have to be aware of potential air traps.
Yep, I know
@ December 1, 2012 10:17 AM in Interesting dilemaIf you read my post you will see I mentioned I had done exactly that 25 years ago to a radiator connection on that loop. Question that was being asked was whether people felt if you cap enough connections off without installing a jumper it would stop flow to remaining rads altogether.
Interesting Dilemma
@ November 30, 2012 5:34 PM in Interesting dilemaWas at a job today where we were hired to remove a cast iron rad so they could renovate. While we were at it owner had us replace the rad with one slightly smaller. Renovation is done so we connected it up and tried to fire it up today. The entire zone has no flow. (Technically we don't know if it had flow before we started this project).
Now..... some history. I replaced the boiler almost 30 years ago when I was working for a large company. At the time I was head of the hydronics dept. We installed 2 boilers. Primary/secondary. 6 zones. Cast iron radiation. Monoflo piping. Outdoor reset. I remember that the last time I was there 25+ years ago, everything worked fine.
The zone in question is original to the house. 1-1/4" steel with B&G venturi tees. Tees on the return of the rads. I have confirmed many times over it's not air. There are no high points in the piping. Dedicated risers off the main straight to the 2nd floor to each rad. Assumed it was a circulator issue. Replaced it today. No difference. No flow in any of rads. Got to following the main. By the way, the main is hot as hell. As I follow it around I see a set of tees where a rad was removed. We did it 30 years ago and the 2 tees are connected together with a jumper pipe. However, as I follow the main around I see 5 sets of tees where rads have been removed and installed onto a new loop to make a seperate zone. The old rad hookups are just capped. So now this 1-1/4" main only has 3 rads connected to it and it runs all the way around a large portion of the basement. Even though the 3 rads are right near the boiler they left the entire main and capped the pipes.
So the only thing I can come up with is the capped venturi tees are affecting the flow so much I am not getting any up to the rads that are still connected. By the way, when I replaced the circ (which was a Taco 0010) I first tried a 3-speed 0010 and then tried a 3-speed 00R. Neither pumping characteristic made a difference.
Any thoughts?

Threaded venturi tees
@ May 18, 2012 2:40 PM in Threaded venturi teesAnyone know of a company that still makes threaded venturi tees? I only see copper available. If not, anyone have a couple of 1-1/4 x 1/2 or 3/4 they are looking to sell?
I agree but
@ February 5, 2012 4:20 PM in Copper ceiling radiantno boiler in budget.
I'll get good pics
@ February 5, 2012 3:00 PM in Copper ceiling radiantif I get the job. Then I can light up the basement and take some. There are coin vent bleeds in closets where they ran soft 1/8" tubing off the top of the distribution and bent them down so they are below the closet ceilings. Only piping we can even see is the immediate boiler piping as once it leaves the Sarcotherm mixing valve it disappears up into the ceiling. Even the boiler room ceiling in this place is finished.
Probably going to change the boiler piping to give them working isolation valves and a Tekmar outdoor reset control and motorized 4-way valve. And the 4-way will give us boiler protection too, which it doesn't have. And some thermometers.
We looked everywhere
@ February 5, 2012 11:37 AM in Copper ceiling radiantThere is nothing on the floor above each radiant ceiling. Every door, access and nook and cranny was looked at. We even looked inside the dumb-waiter chase and there is nothing. Only thing accessible is the purge drains and key vents attached to soft tubing coming thru the ceilings of closets to bleed everthing. And the original mech drawings show no above the floor stuff. There isn't anything else we can do nor that the owner or contractor want done.
Nice thought though.

Worrell, a proven high school offensive lineman, committed to Southern Miss back during the month of March.
"I still get a bunch of mail," said Nathaniel. "I get a lot of letters from a lot of schools, but no other offers yet. I am pretty solid with Southern Miss. I like the coaching staff there. I am real comfortable with them. I really like Coach Kap (Chris Kapilovic) a lot. That was really the main thing."
Before Nathaniel will earn his wings as a Golden Eagle, he will look to help Pearl High School rebuild their program back into the ranks of the contenders.
The relocation to Pearl is not the first move for Worrell and his family.
"This is the third place I went to school," said Worrell. "My daddy coached at Forest for about twenty years. We moved to Koscuisko for my seventh grade year and then we moved to Pearl this year. When Coach Perry got the job he offered my dad a job here."
Spending his senior season with new players and class mates, has not really fazed the talented offensive lineman.
"It's kind of weird moving, but you get used to it after a while," said Nathaniel. "Everybody here seems to like me. I know sometimes I get treated a little different because all of the coaches already know me. They put a lot on my shoulders. They expect me to help carry the offensive line."
Nathaniel plays right guard and some defensive tackle for Pearl, but he could end up outside at the offensive tackle position at the next level.

Is God Real?
Its human nature to seek superiority and its human nature to seek an authoritative entity to take responsibility and control of one's life. So i often wonder if God is just that idea. The idea of a god that is all powerful and all knowing and just superior in everyday than any human being, is the very idea that makes me question the legitimacy of a God. We tend to subscribe to a divine command or an authoritative figure. The creator of the universe gets to set the rules and do anything it likes with its creations like sending them for eternal punishment.
And lastly, everyone that believes in a divine command gets the same satisfaction from believing in something that everyone else gets no matter what they believe in.
I am just interested in the TED community's input on this. I am a student of life, so i take no biases even if it sounds like it sometimes. :)

Feb 26 2013: @Obey no1kinobe : Very valid warning. But what gets missed is that such ideas are strictly personal and private. There is no intention to demonstrate it.
It is next to impossible to live meaningfully without believing and imagining. Our idea of self is in large part imagination. Atheism is arguably another belief system having it's own extremists and fundamentalists. For one who finds it difficult to live without an idea of purpose, spiritual enlightenment and equanimity a personal god is a better choice than a religious god.
The argument that this type of subjective thinking holds us back is questionable. The traditional science, at least a substantial part of it, is the contribution of scholars and scientists deeply religious. There is no clear evidence that atheists are better predisposed towards science.
That leaves only Truth. The nature of Truth is, IMO, not absolute and it's philosophical basis has been debated time and again. The god of books makes use of this human confusion. A personal god, I think, is a safety release against that pressure.
Feb 26 2013: Hi PM, I agree we all have beliefs, world views etc based on our education, experience, reasoning, intuition, and limited senses and mind. However, not all beliefs are equal. Some are closer approximations to the truth than others. And contradicting beliefs can not all be correct.
I get your point about atheism being a belief system. I would suggest atheism may be part of belief system but perhaps is not as broad or dogmatic as deserving to be called a belief system compared to a particular religious belief system. Perhaps even more narrow than an individualistic spiritual belief system.
After all its only not being a theist.. Everything else is open from ghosts, afterlife, reincarnation, karma to views on abortion etc. Some may use this as a linchpin on which to hitch additional views or reflect a similar skeptical outlook, but there is no dogma, no necessarily shared world view.
Personally I consider myself a reasonably open minded skeptic, left leaning on many social issues and somewhere in the middle economically. I would identify myself as an atheist only when it is relevant to a particular topic such as this.
Whether a tendency to subjective, intuitive thinking in general is net negative to human development is an open question for me. I haven't considered it deeply. But it has no role in confirming scientific hypothesis. Perhaps with coming up with ideas and hypothesis but science is empirically validated rather than left to the subjective. Many spiritual or religious folk can still apply the scientific method and accept the outcomes, I agree.
I would point out in the US, one of the most religious developed nations, more than 30% (from memory) deny evolution and believe the world is about 6,000 years old. Dogmatic religious views also have negative social and health impacts e.g .Taleban, caste system. So I would suggest there is a case that these kinds religious views based on subjective experience can hold us back. Not all spiritual views but many.
Feb 26 2013: I seem to like the way you think :) And there is not much disagreement in essence, I'd say. I also like it that you made clear your stand. Without that being cleared, a lot of debate becomes waste of time.
I make a clear distinction between God with a capital 'G' and god that I am proposing to be personal and private. I am not religious at all and the simple reason is that I can go about in life and make a meaning of it without the necessity of a God, a super natural intervention, a creator or a keeper of morality as religious texts dictate. But I am certainly spiritual and I make a distinction between religion and that.
I believe that over time our societies have acquired reasoned, secular, liberal and democratic value sets such that dispensation of social issues on the basis of religious texts that were written thousands of years ago create conflict and negative impacts on our values.
However, if someone internalizes the apparent conflicts of life in the form of a core source of peace, joy and happiness with no conflict with the outside world or somebody else has same core source as a pleasurable quest with reason, curiosity and awe with no conflict with the outside world, I'd call both a personal god (I have no apathy towards that name). And it's very real to me. Just like love or poetry.
Sure all belief systems are not equal. But honestly, I am not sure if only one of two contradicting beliefs has to be true. For life as a biological process, I sometimes wonder if we are living or dying on a daily basis. What do you think?

We loved Hotel Los Mangos. We had separate bungalos with their own front porches for sitting and enjoying the outdoors. The pool overlooks the bay, which is great for a dip when the tide isnt cooperating. There are monkeys everywhere tossing mangos at each other and playing around which is always entertaining too.
