6 Lord of the Rings Characters Who Totally Dropped the Ball
In our never ending quest to expose fictional cinematic incompetence, we're going to take a hard look at characters from The Lord of the Rings trilogy who screwed the pooch at key moments.
These are moments so infuriatingly inexplicable that they make us want to throw our $100 Platinum Series Special Extended Edition of the trilogy out window and watch Willow three times in a row instead.
#6. Aragorn Spares One Pervert, Dooms Thousands
Remember Grima Wormtongue from The Two Towers? He was that pervy albino fellow whose preferred method of mind control was to whisper sweet nothings in King Theoden's ear. Anyway, when the good guys rescue the King from the bad guys' mind control, the King is ready to kill Wormtongue's treacherous ass, having finally figured out he's something of a doucehbag (as if his last name wasn't a dead giveaway).
Then, just as the King is about to have a stab-party on Wormtongue, Aragorn intervenes, saying, "No, my lord. Let him go. Enough blood has been spilled on his account."
He just lets the grubber go. Oh, and he lets him make off with one of the army's valuable horses, too. Not that they'll need those or anything, there on the eve of Middle Earth's World War III.
Now, we know Aragorn is a good guy and thus you're not going to see him giggle while the King sword-fucks Wormtongue. But somewhere between hacking the worm to bits and letting him leave on a horse carrying information that will be incredibly valuable to your enemy there are other, perfectly good choices. Put him on trial. Put him in jail. Or, if even that is too merciless for Tolkien's heroes (and keep in mind, no Orc is ever shown that kind of mercy) then just let him hang around and make sure he isn't allowed to leave and tell Saruman everything he knows.
"Boss, you will not believe what just happened.
Aragorn's judgment is so poor it'd make Sun Tzu prolapse in his grave. And even his rationale--"enough blood on has been spilled on his account"--is bullshit. Wormtongue's release DOES lead to blood being spilled. A whole freaking water park of hemoglobin, in fact, as it was Wormtongue who told Count Dooku about the weak point in the walls of Helm's Deep. Which brings us to...
#5. Legolas Chokes At Helm's Deep
Remember that awkward moment during the siege of Helm's Deep in The Two Towers when the bad guys decide to stage their own Olympic torch procession mid-battle?
In what turned out to be the game-changer of the battle, a halfwit Uruk-hai berserker grabbed a torch and charged straight toward a pile of mines at the base of The Big Wall That Was Protecting All of the Good Guys. Aragorn called upon Legolas--the greatest archer in Middle-Earth who we've seen put an arrow through an orc's eye at a thousand yards--to snuff this running Roman candle.
Considering that Legolas has 200,000/20 vision, should he really have had any trouble hitting this lumbering, bowlegged creature right below him? This is the elf who racked up one of the highest body counts in the trilogy, and we're pretty sure most of those kills were with his eyes closed.
So, when it's time to kill one slack-jawed soldier, what does Legolas give us? He gives us the Middle Earth equivalent of Casey at the Bat-- two utterly non-fatal shots to the collarbone that even your mom could have shrugged off in an emergency. A few seconds later, the wall is blown.
Thanks, Legolas. Your thinly veiled sexual bantering with Gimli the dwarf cost approximately 10,000 children their fathers and, according to our Cracked math, ruined over 100,000 Middle Earth Christmases. Way to be blinded by your Napoleon fetish, Link.
#4. The Witch-King Has No Peripheral Vision
He can sense the One Ring from thousands of miles away. He is immortal. He is tireless. He rides a pterodactyl straight out of Sauron's zoo for especially evil dinosaurs. He is the Witch-king of Angmar a.k.a. The Black Captain a.k.a. Lord of the Nazgul a.k.a. one of Old Dirty Bastard's 300+ aliases.
He also has the worst optometrist in all of Middle Earth.
For an omniscient, nigh unkillable Ringwraith, the Witch-King can barely see what's under his invisible nose. Not once--but twice--does it seems that the Witch-king's hood and helmet suffer from a fatal blind spot that makes it impossible for him to see a certain clumsy hobbit: Mr. Meriadoc "Merry" Brandybuck.
A.K.A. the bassist for Drive Shaft.
That's right, Merry scampers under the Witch-king's radar not on one, but on two separate occasions. In The Fellowship of the Rings, the Witch-king has cornered Frodo's gang, who are hidden under tree roots. He's mere inches from making a nice hobbit intestine sarong when Merry devises a clever diversion--this:
That's right. A cabbage. Merry tosses out a damn cabbage and the Witch-king goes doddering after it like some rubber-suited Scooby-Doo villain.
His second screw-up is even more mortifying. During the siege of Minis Tirith in The Return of the King, the Witch-King is in his element. He's killed scores of good guys and now has Eowyn--the sword-slinging she-wolf of Rohan--by the throat. What happens next is too painful to type, so we'll just go to the clip:
Really? A three-foot-tall inbred Munchkin get the drop on a 10-foot-tall demigod? Yes, we totally get that this is supposed to be about the underdog, about the arrogant evil not noticing the smallest and humblest of creatures and paying for it in the end. But even if that's the moral of the story it doesn't change the fact that the fucking hobbit was right there. The good guy didn't win because he was more clever, or more pure of heart; he won because the Witch-king acts like he has cataracts, twice failing to notice an enemy two feet away, both times in the middle of a crucial military operation with all of evil depending on him.
Imagine how much you'd hate Predator if--instead of Arnold Schwarzenegger--the lead role was played by Urkel. Not the actor who played Urkel, but actual Urkel. Scratch that, you wouldn't be pissed because that movie would fucking rule.

By ASHLEY ANDERSON
Staff Writer
The Voice-Tribune
The gritty, high-energy outdoor cycling competition hosted annually in Europe is heading, for the first time in history, to the U.S. – making its debut in none other than Louisville, Ky.
Held for more than 60 years, the UCI (Union Cycliste Internationale) World Elite Cyclo-cross Championships will make its way to Eva Bandman Park, 1701 River Road, on Feb. 2 and 3, bringing in 500-700 international athletes, coaches and staff and an estimated crowd of 4,000 each day.
Louisville became a prime location for the first-ever U.S.-based World Championships with the construction of Eva Bandman Park, a premier cyclo-cross venue, and a rapidly growing cyclo-cross community. "It really, locally, comes down to a great cycling community," said Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer. "Cyclo-cross is really growing rapidly. (The World Championships event) showcases the cyclists in the community, and the fact we're the first host outside of Europe … it puts the spotlight on Eva Bandman and brings a bunch of tourists here in town."
One of the forefathers of the local cyclo-cross community is Bob Bobrow, an attorney with Boehl Stopher and Graves, LLP. A former road racer, Bobrow has watched his favorite pastime, once explored mostly in the upper east coast and part of the west coast, increase exponentially in popularity over the last decade in Louisville. "(Cyclo-cross) kind of started to grow in (Louisville in) '01, and there were a couple races around here," he said. "There were just a handful of folks racing 'cross back then around here, at least, and I started doing it and sort of became a cheerleader for the sport. … It went from a very grassroots, literally 10 or 15 folks that would ride around Seneca Park at night on their cylco-cross bikes, to a local race to a regional race."
And, now it's international. In 2010, U.S. Gran Prix of Cyclocross (USGP) promoters Joan Hanscom and Bruce Fina won a bid to host the 2013 World Championships in Louisville from the sport's international body, the UCI. The Louisville Sports Commission, USA Cycling and several individuals, including John Schnatter, founder and CEO of Papa John's International, Inc., David A. Jones Sr., co-founder of Humana, and Sam Swope, founder of Sam Swope Auto Group, then stepped in to help make the event possible.
"It's a great example of public private partnership with Metro Parks converting a piece of an under-utilized property into a championship course and promoters that are experts in the cyclo-cross event having the knowledge and understanding of how to go about the bid," said Karl Schmitt, executive director of the Louisville Sports Commission. "And (it was) UCI cycling having an interest in the world championship in the United States, and all those things came together."
The sport of cyclo-cross features a fast-paced mix of hard bicycle racing and a party-like atmosphere held in the fall and winter in all types of weather: snow, rain, mud, ice or dust. Described as a "bike race mixed with steeplechase," the event involves athletes battling through a course comprised of pavement, wooded trails, grass, steep hills and obstacles – or features, as they're known in cyclo-cross – that require a quick dismount, running and remount.
"Cyclo-cross racers are a little bit crazy in a good way and cyclo-cross fans are a little bit crazy in a good way," said David Loignon, cyclo-cross enthusiast and owner of the television production and production management company Big Red Kong LLC. "(The sport is a) fun, muddy, dirty way to play on your bike like you did as a kid. … It's a very relaxed, fun type of racing. The other great thing is you can pretty much watch most of the race standing in one place."
Unlike some bike races, it's typically easy for attendees to move from one spot to another to see most of the cyclo-cross action. Fans line the 1.5- to 2-mile course of the race, which can last between 40 and 60 minutes, depending on the age and expertise of the racers. Food and drink (adult beverages included) are also available throughout the experience, and fan interaction with athletes is not uncommon.
"You go to a bicycle race that might be a road race and you're kind of there and see them zip by real quick," said USA Cycling Vice President of National Events Micah Rice. "In cyclo-cross, people are out there, wearing crazy costumes, clanking cowbells, heckling the riders, drinking beer. It's a huge party to come and spectate at these races, and I think that's something completely unique about it."
The Cyclo-cross World Championships will not only be witnessed by the mass of crazed fanatics at Eva Bandman, but also those watching from all across the world. Under N2Productions, Loignon will help produce the world feed of the event, which will be shown on YouTube, Google Live and television stations in such countries as Belgium, the Netherlands, France and the Czech Republic.
"I think it's the best sport in the world, so to speak, but I also think that the reason it has so much appeal is because anybody can watch it and appreciate what's going on," said Bobrow. "I would make an appeal to folks that have never heard of it to come out and take a look and watch. … The bigger the crowd, the better, the more energy there is. … People are just excited to come, and there are going to be people from all over the U.S. (and the world). I think people would be surprised if they came out and watched."
Gates will open 9 a.m. at Eva Bandman Park on Saturday and Sunday for the Cyclo-cross World Championships. The UCI Cyclocross Masters World Championships will take place Jan. 29 through Feb. 1 at Champions Park at River Road Country Club.
For tickets, call +1 877.725.8849 or +1 404.897.2388 to book by phone. Saturday- or Sunday-only tickets are $25 general admission; $15 for ages 21 and under; free for children 10 and under; and VIP admission is $125. Two-day tickets are $40 general admission; $30 for ages 21 and under; free for children 10 and under; and VIP admission is $250.

Cyclo-cross Comes to Main Library
In light of the upcoming UCI Cyclo-cross Elite World Championships in Louisville on Feb. 2 and 3, the Louisville Free Public Library will host a new exhibit, "The World of Cyclocross," in the Bernheim Gallery of the Main Library. The exhibit features a collection of photos, "The Hardest Hour," by Wil Matthews, as well as information and examples of cyclo-cross.
Matthews, a California-based photographer, has covered cyclo-cross for the past three years for Velo Magazine, Velonews.com, major bicycle brands, the U.S. Gran Prix of Cyclocross and other media outlets in the U.S. and abroad. The photos on display explore the sport from all angles – from the quiet moment before the start to the intensity of the competition, the joy of those headed to the podium and the sorrow of those who came up short in the race.
The library will host a public reception with Matthews and organizers of the UCI Cyclo-cross Elite World Championships from 7 to 9 p.m. on Thursday, Jan. 31.

In Oracle 11g, is there a way to tell the database to use parallel execution whenever possible by setting a flag etc, rather than using PARALLEL hints with every SQL statement?

Simple answer: Yes. Unfortunately it is not quite a simple as that, as if you want to enable parallelism, then you are obviously concerned about performance, and it is extremely tunable.
Start with
So I strongly advise putting some limits in place, e.g. with resource consumer groups.
Also for any table you can do
I believe you want the parallel_automatic_tuning=true setting.

Practical Task Scheduling Deployment

One of the best things about the UNIX environment (aside from being stable and efficient) is the vast array of software tools available to help you do your job. Traditionally, a UNIX tool does only one thing, but does that one thing very well. For example, grep is very easy to use and can search vast amounts of data quickly. The find tool can find a particular file or files based on all kinds of criteria. It's pretty easy to string these tools together to build even more powerful tools, such as a tool that finds all of the .log files in the /home directory and searches each one for a particular entry. This erector-set mentality allows UNIX system administrators to seem to always have the right tool for the job.
Cron traditionally has been considered another such a tool for job scheduling, but is it enough? This webinar considers that very question. The first part builds on a previous Geek Guide, Beyond Cron, and briefly describes how to know when it might be time to consider upgrading your job scheduling infrastructure. The second part presents an actual planning and implementation framework.

5 Black Friday Myths the Media Wants You to Believe
The alarms start going off at 3:30 in the morning. Soon-to-be shoppers stumble angrily out of bed with fanny packs of coupons strapped to their waists. Coffee begins working its way through the Thanksgiving-themed traffic jam in your entrails. Showers are neglected. Puppies are kicked. Bleary-eyed motorists start pulling out of driveways, and it becomes official. The Holiday Shopping Season has begun.
Even if you don't make the trip to the mall every Black Friday, you probably assume everyone out there is fighting through waves of toy riots and security guards to be the first ones in line. In reality, most of what you believe about Black Friday is a myth, right down to the day it falls on.
#5. It's the Biggest Shopping Day of the Year
What You Think:
Why else would the local news cover something as boring as shopping? You also may have heard, or just assumed, that online shopping was taking a bite out of Black Friday's lead over every other day of the year. This makes sense because it offers an alternative for people who don't want to suffer through long lines and threats of death by stampede. Just shop from home on any other day of the year, right?
"I've already been at this two hours and I've only had to gouge one person's eyes out!"
But Actually ...
Actually, Black Friday wasn't the biggest shopping day of the year until the advent of online shopping. Before that, it was rarely even in the top five.
So why was the media paying so much attention to the fifth-biggest shopping day of the year? Well, partially because it's a slow news day. With most people off from work and spending time at home with their family, the media has a captive audience and approximately nothing to talk about. So they began reporting on the one sector of the economy that was actually working (instead of pretending to work while totally mailing it in, like the media).
"I'll be honest, guys, I'm not even sure what city this is."
Of course, stories about how everyone's out spending money weren't drawing complaints from the advertisers.
Black Friday finally did become the top revenue earner in 2003 by giving people who would rather stay home with their family a way to get at the deals. Weirdly, 2003 was right around when the media started reporting the idea that Black Friday was in trouble, and telling us about new players in the game like Cyber Monday -- the Monday after Thanksgiving, when online sales (or "cyber sales," as they're called by absolutely no one) supposedly spike.
Here's a good rule of thumb: If someone you know regularly uses the term "cyber," punch them and never stop.
So the story that the media had been reporting for years that Black Friday is the biggest shopping day of the year finally came true, and suddenly they want to complicate it with a bunch of other days when you have to remember to wear riot gear to the mall.
This is because of a new strategy among retailers to make holiday shopping into a four-week period. While Walmart holds the record for earliest holiday promotion with a special roll back on October 1, the majority of stores begin their bargains the first week of November.
This picture was actually shot in July.
Cyber Monday was created in 2005 as a crafty marketing plan from Shop.org, an association for "e-tailers." Shop.org encouraged their members to create special ads for that Monday, and after a few years it caught on. In 2010, Cyber Monday took in over a billion dollars in online revenue, the largest amount for any day in history.
Presumably, when Cyber Monday officially takes the biggest shopping day title from Black Friday, we'll start hearing about how Cyber Monday is in danger of losing its spot as the hottest shopping day of the year to "Tip Jar Tuesdays," when consumers just empty their wallets into jars by the cash register.
"Dump your cash on the pile and piss right off."
#4. It Turns Americans into Sale-Crazed Lunatics
What You Think:
Before going near a retail store on Black Friday, you should make sure your life insurance is paid up. If the news is any indication, you're going to be dealing with a bunch of feral materialists. Every year brings more tales of shoppers fighting or killing each other. It's as if the entire country is driven CRAZY by these great deals, but instead of slashing prices like the owner of Crazy Eddie's mattress emporium, they're taking it out on each other.
"I'll cut you so hard!"
But Actually ...
It seems like people are more violent on Black Friday because the national media doesn't pay attention to violence at retail stores until it happens on Black Friday. Wesley Strellis walked into a Walmart a little after noon, picked up a metal bat from the sporting goods section, carried it to electronics and methodically destroyed 29 flat screen TVs. There's the case of the 55-year-old man who punched a 72-year-old store greeter in the face for asking to see his receipt, and the guy who walked into a Walmart and pissed on a case of steaks. And who can forget the man who lit three racks of clothes on fire in the men's department when Walmart wouldn't let him return an item. There are crazy people in this world who do crazy things. Often times at Walmart. CNN didn't report on any of those stories because why would they?
"Ho-hum, just another March gunfight at the mall."
There's also the fact that the story has a tendency to change in the retelling. Like all news stories about crazed shoppers, Neatorama's five-entry list of Black Friday Bloodshed includes the 2008 shooting at a Toys "R" Us that started with a brawl between two women and left two men dead. You have to click through to their source to find out that the initial brawl was caused by a pre-existing personal dispute, and that the shooting was believed to be gang-related.
For some reason, CNN decided to report the gang killing in the same story as the one and only death ever linked to the shopping rush, though even that isolated incident is hard to pin on the shoppers. It happened at a Walmart door buster sale -- a retail stunt specifically designed to create a spectacle of frenzied competition over a fixed number of big deals. Retail chains like Best Buy and even certain Walmart outlets hold these every year without anyone getting hurt. If everything is handled properly, it's a good way to get your store on the local news. That year, the Walmart at Green Acres Mall in New York decided to see what would happen if everything was handled in the worst way possible.
"This year, we're going to try something new and just stop giving a shit."
First of all, it wasn't the ideal place to hold a stunt that is designed to foster aggressive competition. In addition to being known as the "car theft capital of Long Island," the mall's other claim to fame was a shooting in which two groups of teenagers opened fire on each other during a screening of The Godfather III. Instead of hiring security to help police the free-for-all they were holding in the dark at their crime hotspot of a shopping location, the shoppers who camped outside the store all night were taunted by a handful of inexperienced Walmart employees who were put on crowd control duties. As the sale was about to begin, the crowd outside began pushing against the sliding glass doors, and employees on the inside began pushing back to keep the doors from bowing inward. The combined force of the crowd shattered one of the doors, and the crowd poured in, crushing a 6' 5" employee trapped under the door.
It was a horrible tragedy, and it could have easily been prevented. But on any other day of the year, it would have been a story about a horribly run store and the terrible power of crowds. But since it was on Black Friday, it has been used as a way to infuse the moral of The Grinch Who Stole Christmas with the post-apocalyptic violence of The Road Warrior.
It would take a shotgun and sleigh to get through this.
#3. Black Friday Is the Day After Thanksgiving
What You Think:
OK, this is clearly not a myth. Thanksgiving happens, and then Black Friday. But you probably think Black Friday is determined by the date that Thanksgiving falls on. All the cooking and eating is out of the way, and as an unintentional side effect of that, we get to start Christmas shopping.
But Actually ...
Actually, the day we celebrate Thanksgiving is determined by the day the retailers decide will make a good Black Friday. The start of the holiday shopping season is both more official and harder to move than the holiday it follows. That means when ranking their order of importance to our country, a national day of shopping beats a national day of gratitude. Not quite as surprising when we put it like that, right?
"I can't wait until we ditch all this family togetherness bullshit for some new electronics."
Thanksgiving originally didn't have a set date. George Washington proclaimed the first one on November 26, 1789, but the dates and even months changed for almost a century. Abraham Lincoln gave it a regular berth in 1863 as the last Thursday of November. It never occurred to Honest Abe that November sometimes has five Thursdays, and that this would create a problem down the road.
You'd think a man with a head that large would have some foresight.
One of those Novembers with five Thursdays happened in 1939, when the United States was recovering from the Great Depression. At that time, waiting until after Thanksgiving to start the holiday shopping season was seen as almost holy, but Thanksgiving fell on the very last day of the month. A short number of Christmas shopping days, starting on December 1, could hurt the recovering economy. That's why President Franklin Roosevelt had to put Turkey Day in its place.
A presidential proclamation was issued moving Thanksgiving to the second-to-last Thursday of November. Thirty-two states went along with FDR and issued the same proclamation, while the other 16 states said "fuck that." For two years, a third of the U.S. celebrated Thanksgiving on the last Thursday of November, while the other two-thirds of the country celebrated it on the second-to-last Thursday. For family members living in opposing states, this was a very short, lethargic version of the Civil War.
"And may the Lord protect us from our decadent neighbors."
In 1941, Congress told FDR to knock that shit off and passed a resolution setting a fixed date for Thanksgiving as the last Thursday in November. The Senate, reminding them that there was shopping at stake, amended it to declare Thanksgiving as being on the fourth Thursday to get rid of the occasional five-Thursday problem.
Thus it was settled that the most important part of the holiday season is having a standard, sensible number of days in which to buy shit. Then we said "fuck it" and started the holiday shopping season in October.
"Have you bought a gift for your jack-o'-lantern yet?"

Saas Fee – otherwise known as the "Pearl of the Alps" – sits in a shell-shaped bowl reaching up to a vast glacier. The beautifully traditional resort is car-free like its neighbour Zermatt in an attempt to preserve the glacier, and guests staying in Saas Fee can now use their lift pass in Zermatt for a small additional charge.
The restaurant at the top of Langfluh is also well worth a visit! read full

Saas Fee is also the holder of three world records, the Mittelallilin restuarant, at the top of the Allalin moutain is, at 3,500m, the highest revolving restuarant in the world, providing 360 degree views of the whole mountain range and in particular the glowing blue 'crystal' of the glacier below. There is something truly remarkable about being two miles high, often above cloud level, enjoying a rosti lunch in a revolving restaurant — you really do feel on top of the world!
If you are sat in the restaurant, you will probably have already experienced the other world record feat, the worlds highest metro i.e the train that which starts at the the top of Felskinn at 3,000m and takes you through the heart of the mountain and drops you off 500m higher, outside the restaurant (with a few steps, to be fair). Also clustered on top of this mountain is the worlds largest 'ice pavilion' — which is essentially a series of walkways though the glacier which converge on an exhibition area where there usually ice sculptures or other exhibits. It is well worth the experience, doesn't take much time, and the kids love it.
Saas Fee village is an attractive car free village, built in a traditional style and humming night life with decent après ski. The Metro bar is centrally placed and usually lively and friendly place to drink. If you're in season, they're also happy to play the six nations games which might be a bonus for 'changeover' day. The older area of the village is well worth a walk around if you fancy a few hours away from your skis or board. Most of the accommodation in Saas Fee is in hotels and apartments, although there are a few catered chalets.
For non skiers, Saas Fee has designated the whole of the Hannig area for walking, tobogganing, paragliding and generally anything which is not skiing or boarding.
No shortage of après ski, bars, restaurants, night clubs, Saas Fee has got it all and everyone appears to be determined to have a good time.
Saas Fee and Zermatt are now offering a partially joint lift pass for next season. A days skiing on the other resorts slope will be available for passes valid between 6 and 21 days.

Can You Hemi Now? Part 1Written by on November 30, 2012 Contributors: Indy Cylinder Head
You may or may not know all of the details about Chrysler's latest version of the Hemi engine, but one thing is certain: This engine is a performance powerhouse. Even in stock form, the late-model 5.7, 6.1, 392, and 6.4 Hemi engines will run circles around past versions of this venerable powerplant in terms of power and efficiency, and the new Hemi platform responds great to modifications as well. So when it came time to choose an engine platform for the '10 Dodge Challenger we're building as a dedicated drag racing car, the late-model Hemi just made the best sense. This month we'll show you what parts we utilized to build our 426-inch short-block, and next month we'll finish the build with a full description of the top end and dyno testing. If you're a fan of the new Hemi, then you'll definitely want to follow this build as our results were impressive. And if you're not a fan, well this pump-gas late-model Hemi may just convince you that you should be.
If you compare the late-model Chrysler Hemi (or third generation Hemi) to the first Hemi engines or even the famous second-generation 426 Hemi built during the '60s and '70s, the newest version wins in every category. No matter if comparing power per cubic inch, average power, peak torque and horsepower, efficiency, or weight, the newest Hemi engines simply outperform all of the past versions hands down. Another advantage to the third generation Hemi engine is that contrary to the somewhat rare first and second generation Elephants, these engines are plentiful and inexpensive.
Unlike the second generation Hemi which was a rarely-selected optional engine only available in select models, late-model versions are widely produced and served as the base V-8 engine in hundreds of thousands of cars and trucks produced by the Chrysler Corporation during the past decade. So with more and more of these cars accumulating high mileage and succumbing to accidents, finding a late-model Hemi in the local scrap yard or from a core supplier is a fairly easy and inexpensive proposition. In fact, we know of several enthusiasts who have purchased running 5.7 liter Hemis locally here in Florida for less than a thousand bucks. Bare blocks, cranks, cylinder heads, and other parts are also available directly from any Chrysler or Dodge parts dealer, so if you don't want to bother with a used engine you still have the option of building one with new parts.
Even better, aftermarket companies like Indy Cylinder Head, Comp Cams, Callies Crankshafts, Milodon, and many others already support the late-model Hemi with a great variety of aftermarket parts to make these engines really perform. Since our latest project car is a '10 Challenger that will be dedicated to bracket racing, we decided a third generation Hemi engine made perfect sense to power our car. And with current pump gas prices approaching what we paid for racing fuel in the not-so-distant past, we made the decision that this engine would have to run on pump gasoline with an octane rating of 93. With these factors in mind, we assimilated a list of parts that would result in a powerful 426 cubic inch late-model Hemi, which we could fuel up at the local gas station.
The first step in our process was to choose the appropriate parts for the short-block of this engine. Our choices were limited to the 5.7 and 6.1 blocks due to availability, and the differences in these blocks are minor but significant. The 5.7 Hemi utilizes a 3.920-inch bore size combined with a 3.58-inch stroke, while the 6.1 Hemi's bore size is 4.060 inches with the same 3.58-inch stroke. Since the 6.1 block has larger diameter bores, as well as reinforced bulkheads, we chose this block as the foundation for our late-model 426.
All late-model Hemi blocks are hybrids of sorts, using both standard and metric hardware in various locations. For this reason, it really helps to have a core engine around when considering a build like this. Since we built our engine at the Indy Cylinder Head facility in Indianapolis, Indiana, we had the luxury of their supply of hardware and parts. If you're going to build a new Hemi in your garage or have your local machinist perform the work, be sure to not throw out any of the hardware, fittings, or pipe plugs as they might be difficult to replace at the local hardware store. For our build, we utilized a new 6.1 block, and Indy's full service machine shop prepped the block for our stroker application.
To achieve a displacement of 426-inches (or 425.67928 to be exact), we utilized a bore size of 4.090 inches and a stroke of 4.050 inches. The 6.1 block can be bored to this dimension with plenty of cylinder wall left, and to fit our stroke we only needed to cut small provisions for the connecting rods at the bottom of the cylinders. Other block modifications include chamfering the inside of the provision for the oil filter, blocking off the MDS provisions, and installing one-piece grooved camshaft bearings to replace the factory two-piece units.
As a foundation for the rotating assembly of this engine, a forged crankshaft from Callies' Compstar line was utilized with the required stroke of 4.050 inches. This cranksahft is manufactured from 4340 steel, features standard small 2.200 inch (commonly known as small-block Chevy rod journal size) journals, and has gun-drilled main journals to save weight. The Compstar crankshaft is also double keyed, and comes with a forged steel reluctor wheel to replace the brittle factory wheel for the crankshaft trigger. Compstar 6.125-inch length forged H-beam connecting rods were combined with Diamond forged flat-top pistons to give us the pump-gas friendly 10.85:1 compression we were shooting for. The Diamond pistons are lightweight, utilize a .927 inch diameter piston pin, and metric rings for reduced internal friction.
Camshaft selection in an engine like this is critical, and we chose to stay with a hydraulic roller since the late-model Hemi comes standard with this type of cam. We had a good idea of the cam we wanted for this engine, and calling Comp's helpline verified we were on the right track. Knowing late-model Hemis like a wide lobe separation angle, we chose a hydraulic roller cam with a lobe separation of 114 degrees. This cam features .584-inch intake and .579-inch exhaust lift, and 242 and 248 degrees duration at .050 inch lift respectively. This cam, along with a set of factory hydraulic roller lifters, will give our engine plenty of midrange torque and high end power, and should provide peak power at or just below 7,000 rpm. Since the camshaft is oiled last in the late-model Hemi, plenty of cam lube is required when assembling one of these engines.
To drive the camshaft, we chose a Manley double-roller, adjustable timing set. Unlike conventional Mopar V-8 engines, the timing marks on the late-model Hemi line up at the top of the cam gear, and the bottom of the crank gear, for proper cam timing. Additionally, the oil pump is driven by the crankshaft, so when using the wider double-roller timing set, special oil pump spacers are required and provided with the Manley timing set. We verified cam timing with a degree wheel, and utilized the provisions on the Manley timing set to make necessary adjustments before installing our Melling oil pump.
Late-model Hemi engine oiling is critical, especially since the engine oils the valvetrain first, and then the bottom end. To provide the necessary lubrication to this engine, we called on Milodon since they have a race specific oil system for the late-model Hemi. Designed around the Challenger Drag Pak Stock Eliminator platform, the Milodon oiling system utilizes a rear sump oil pan and pickup, along with a windage tray that doubles as a crank scraper for great oil control. The late-model Hemi already has one of the best oil return designs of any Chrysler engine, and combined with the Milodon components proper oiling and scavenging of oil will be ensured.
Having assembled plenty of high-performance Mopar engines over the years, this author was fortunate for the opportunity to build this late-model race Hemi with the guidance of Indy's top engine builder, Ken Lazzeri. While the late-model Hemi is similar in many ways to early Mopar engines, there are a number of variances that make assembly different from earlier Mopar engines. The main bearing notches are opposite from each other rather than on the same side, which is the way BMW and Mercedes engines are and tells you a bit about the heritage of the late-model Hemi. The thrust bearing is also a separate piece, not attached to the main bearing, and is only one half circumference of the thrust provision of the crankshaft. The timing gears and chain system are different as well, utilizing a tensioner to keep the chain engaged on the gears properly. The late-model Hemi also requires thinner oil viscosity due to the lifter, pump, and oil pressure relief valve design.
We've learned a lot building the short-block for our 426-inch late-model race engine, and can tell you firsthand that you'll be surprised at the power numbers this engine makes. Next month we'll discuss the cylinder heads, induction, and ignition system of this Hemi, and show you the results we achieved on Indy's engine dyno. You won't want to miss part two of this build, and be sure to visit Mopar Muscle to see video footage of this powerful Hemi running on the dyno.

01 With all five cross-bolted main caps and a great oiling system, the 6.1 liter Hemi block is nicely suited for a race engine application with the simple addition of ARP main studs. Billet main caps are also available for these engines but deemed unnecessary for our application. We bored our block to a 4.090-inch bore and notched the bottom of the cylinders slightly to accommodate the 4.050-inch stroke crankshaft.02 We won't be utilizing the Multi-displacement system (MDS) so the provisions in the valley are blocked off. Additionally, the inside diameter of the oil filter provision on the block is chamfered so it doesn't restrict return oil flow.07 We chose a Comp hydraulic roller for our engine, with .584 intake lift and .579 exhaust lift and 242 and 248 degrees duration at .050 inch lift, and a wide lobe separation angle of 114 degrees. Factory lifters work well for this application, and the factory phenolic lifter guides keep the rollers lined up with the cam lobes, although they also limit lift to less than .600 inch.08 Manley makes a great adjustable double-roller timing chain and gears for the late-model Hemi, which comes with oil pump spacers since the oil pump is driven directly by the crankshaft. Unlike older Mopar engines, the late-model Hemi uses a chain tensioner to keep camshaft timing accurate. The Manley timing set allows for camshaft timing changes, or in our case simply to ensure the cam is installed at the proper specs from the Comp cam card. Timing marks on the late-model Hemi are at the top of the cam gear and bottom of the crank gear, instead of the opposite like older Mopar V-8s.09 We chose a Melling oil pump for our 426 Hemi, which allows us to adjust oil pressure with a set of three different pressure relief valvesprings. Using the heaviest purple spring, oil pressure will be regulated to 65 psi.10 The late-model Hemi differs from other Mopar high-performance engines in several ways, but standard building techniques are utilized throughout. Torque specifications are in lb-ft and most of the hardware is domestic. However, some hardware and core plugs are metric so be sure to save all of the engine's hardware during disassembly.11 Milodon offers an excellent oil system for the late-model Hemi, designed specifically for drag racing. The Milodon windage tray also serves as a crank scraper, and the rear-sump pan and pickup increase oil capacity to seven quarts. Prior to installing the pickup and oil pan, be sure to prime the pump as there is no way to prime this engine's oiling system other than cranking it over until it builds oil pressure.

This was my favorite game growing up! I'm kind of excited that they brought it back
I wonder why this got so many downvotes. It is not only a free game/simulator but a great game/simulator. My copy is downloading right now.
There are a lot of MS Flight Simulator enthusiasts poopooing on this new version because it was made to appeal to a larger audience other than the enthusiasts.
So, you are getting downvotes from those guys out of spite.
@skoffer: Hipster flight simulator enthusiasts? Who would have thought.
Can't wait to play it! Explorers and enthusiasts alike can enjoy this game, it's not only for the hardcore like FSX/04.
Now just have to wait for a good deal to come up on a joystick.
I am terrible with games like this with a Mouse and Keyboard but I switched over to my Xbox 360 controller and was flying like a champ.
I say let the "MS Flight Simulator Enthuasists" that skoffer speaks of "poop" all they want. I've flown this sim since v4 and I say the new one is looking great and the price is right. So, who's to complain, enjoy the sim for what it's worth. If you don't like it that's ok, I do, and it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks or says, I'll still be content. Just sayin'
After playing this for a couple of hours. I like FSX better as a sim. The graphics in Flight are better than FSX but the flight model feels much more arcade like, the physics just aren't quite right. It is fun if you just want to fly around and look at the nice scenery.
can i run it on my windows 8?
I've been playing for an hour or so and it's awesome.
@ruger9mm: I believe that was the idea. This is why a lot of people complained. As a sim, this one isn't as good as FSX. But it wasn't intended to be a sim. It was intended to be a game that leveraged some of their existing code base. Gone are the days when you could actually train preflight on MS Flight Simulator. But on the bright side, it means that not EVERYone was fired when they closed the flight sim project.
This is a terrible day for flight simulators. I agree with eneref. Not a sim, just a game.
I guess I will stick to the DCS sims and IL2 to capture some of the realism.
Sorry to hear this is a lesser sim. That said, I have plenty of fun with my arcade racers, despite loving realism (LFS, rFactor, GTR). So there's room on my hard drive for this as well as DCS. Downloading now, so we'll see.
Also, wtf is with the 32-bit?? It's 2012. It's made by MS. Get over the 32-bit hurdle already.
i'm not sure why panties are being bunched, fsx was also a watered down (in terms of sim integrity) version of '04. i'll take '04 with add ons any day of the week, but this seems like a nice introduction to the sim world. dcs is a bit too esoteric for most.
@afterburn2600: 64 bit architecture is only really worth it if you're expecting your application to use more than 4 gigs of memory, otherwise it just chews up resources and bloats the binary size. That generally translates to an astronomical amount of developer- or artist-hours of work, so only a handful of apps can take advantage of it.
@bogus: have you seen the types of rigs running fsx/fs04 at max settings? 4g is barely even ballpark. i'm a little disappointed that this is basically pilotwings with better water textures.
I really would like to see Microsoft re-engineer ACes of the Pacific and Combat Flight Simulator. Downing kamikazis much more fun than just flying.
Probably ain't politically correct anymore.......
I wonder if thing supports a joystick?? A STICK IS the way to fly an airplane!!
@davebrik99: Yes it can be played with a joystick or game pad.
@bogus: Thanks for the reply. Point well made on the bloat, but I agree with @camleish that 4GB is really not that much for a resource hog like a high fidelity flight sim. Maybe this isn't high-fidelity [enough] and has no need for that sort of RAM. Also remember it's only 4GB LESS your video card (which for me is 1700 MB or so...then I only have 2GB remaining for the rest.
That is of course assuming your 32-bit game running on a 64-bit OS only allocates 32-bit worth of physical memory. Not sure on that one, so I'm talking out my a$$ a bit more than I should (sorry).
Early work means I won't get to try this until later. :(

Close Tweet0 Share0 Comment0 Share0 Share0 Stumble It0 Print0 More Campus Union Owlcatraz runs a-fowl of some FAU sensibilities by hollyandersonsi Email Posted: Thu Feb. 21, 2013 For those of you just joining us in the rapidly snowballing saga of Florida Atlantic's stadium naming rights, let's run a quick timeline. Tuesday morning, FAU announced that a $6 million donation had been bestowed upon the university by The GEO Group:The largest one-time gift in the history of FAU athletics, it will be used to support athletic operations, including FAU's intercollegiate athletic program, the stadium, scholarships and academic priorities. In recognition of this gift, the football stadium at FAU's Boca Raton campus will be named GEO Group Stadium.The GEO Group operates prison facilities all around the world, making the choice of a new stadium nickname quite simple:https://twitter.com/klv760/status/303904100863574016Here's FAU President Mary Jane Saunders, on Tuesday: "It is so exciting to now have a name for our beautiful stadium, and I couldn't think of a better way to do that than by way of philanthropy. This gift is a true representation of The GEO Group's incredible generosity to FAU and the community it serves. It is especially meaningful because George Zoley, GEO's chairman, is a two-time FAU alumnus and former chair of our Board of Trustees."... and then this happened:Florida Atlantic University's announcement to change the name of its football stadium to that of a private prison corporation accused of human rights violation has surprised and outraged students as well as South Florida's pro-immigrant activists. [...] FAU President Mary Jane Saunder initially agreed to talk about the news, but after hearing questions about the immigration detention center, a university spokesperson said they would have to return the call later. At press time, the university had stopped responding to El Nuevo Herald's calls.Patrick Vint details some of the higher-profile criticisms of The GEO Group here, and outlines how the company appears to now be engaging in that most celebrated of stumbling backpedal maneuvers: The mass Wikipedia deletion spree. But no matter where this mess winds up, we're sure you'll all agree that we're all calling it Owlcatraz until the end of time. More Campus Union

I'm having students in mind, let's suppose that a student plans to prepare exam for next month.
According to the "forgetting curve", the key for successful study is spaced repetition learning.
Are there any task manager which can do this:
I create new tasks/lessons and choose date of first attacking,
Software automatically adjusts "recurrence" of one task according to "space repetition learning" (or some other adjustable scheme) i.e. next occurring for 1 day, for 3 days, 1 week, and so on..
Every day on its dashboard the software shows scheduled todo's for that day.
Of course, it would be nice to have a tree structure of tasks/lessons.
It seems useful, and I wonder if there exists something able to do that? If not, I think this is a nice idea for developers. Especially incorporated with pomodoro technique.

I trying to understand how do I work with Angularjs. It looks like nice framework, but I stuck with a little problem with DI...
How I can inject dependecies in "run" method of the module? I mean I able to do it, but it works only if I have service/factory/value with as same name as "run" parameter name. I build a simple application do illustrate what I mean:
var CONFIGURATION = "Configuration"; //I would like to have App.Configuration
var LOG_SERVICE = "LogService"; //I would like to have App.Services.LogService
var LOGIN_CONTROLLER = "LoginController";
var App = {};
App.Services = {};
App.Controllers = {};
App = angular.extend(App, angular.module("App", [])
.run(function ($rootScope, $location, Configuration, LogService) {
//How to force LogService to be the logger in params?
//not var = logger = LogService :)
LogService.log("app run");
//App.$inject = [CONFIGURATION, LOG_SERVICE]; /* NOT WORKS */
App.Services.LogService = function (config) {
this.log = function (message) {
config.hasConsole ? console.log(message) : alert(message);
App.Services.LogService.$inject = [CONFIGURATION];
App.service(LOG_SERVICE, App.Services.LogService);
App.Controllers.LoginController = function (config, logger) {
logger.log("Controller constructed");
//The line below, required only because of problem described
App.Controllers.LoginController.$inject = [CONFIGURATION, LOG_SERVICE];
App.factory(CONFIGURATION, function () { return { hasConsole: console && console.log }; });
Why I need it may you ask :) But in my mind, first off all to have meaningful namespaces to organize the code. It will also minimize name collision and in the last, when minifing the JS, the things breaks down, since it renamed to more shorten names.
