Josh, should this be yours?
I may be able to take this at some point but I'm working on other blockers at the moment. I'll try to find an owner and take if myself if necessary.
We're not going to block on this directly, although we still might take it to fix the performance issues which are a blocker.

I'm not 100% what is IOSurface, is it double buffered magically by default? don't you need cur/back surface, readback, background paint stuff ?

We don't need readback, background paint since the surface has proper alpha channel support (unless I am missing something).
I'm not 100% sure if double buffering is required since this is shared video memory, rather then main memory like a Shmem. I haven't observed any issue yet. I discussed this with Joe and we were of the opinion that we could leave it like this and fix it later if we notice any issues.
We'd obviously like to avoid readback. But I don't understand how you can have asynchronous painting without double buffering: aren't you either setting yourself up for shearing (which will be very noticeable on video sites), or having something in the OS start locking the surface? Unlike the current synchronous setup, we are going to be painting a surface to the screen at the same time we're asking Flash to draw to it (in a different process).
Unless I'm totally missing something, double buffering is the key ingredient which makes asynchronous painting possible.
Without double buffering you will get artifacts (partially painted layer), which will be visible if you open some high FPS flash example, and start scrolling firefox at the same time, so you will have a big chance that layer is painted while flash rendering into the same layer...
I haven't seen any tearing or artifacts when testing this patch (1080p video with a non optimized build) but proof by example isn't convincing to prove that it will never happen. I will speak more with the graphics teams tomorrow to understand this.
I don't know enough about graphic hardware implementation but if rasterization is an atomic operation then no locking would be required?
If we can avoid double buffering that would save us from having to reinitialize the PBO/CARenderer and video memory giving us significant performance benefits.
The biggest risk is if this surface is passed to the plugin, the plugin may paint in stages (e.g. background before foreground). If that is the same surface that is read asynchronously by the browser, then the browser may read only the background of a future paint.
I don't know about the limitations of the APIs involved but it should be possible to keep two video memory buffers and swap between them.

The plug-in does not draw directly to our surface, the plug-in draws to a CALayer. This provides double buffering in the plug-in process. I creates a test plug-in that draws 1,000,000 quads taking over 0.5 second per frame. The scene is always completed. (Browser is much more responsive with this patch BTW)
Plug-in draws to CALayer -> CALayer draws to IOSurface -> IOSurface is drawn
The only legitimate concern for artifacts is when drawing the CALayer into the IOSurface.
Here are the relevant section from the API of the function we use to draw the MacIOSurfaceImageOGL in the content process:
Snippet from:

> the underlying source data comes from an IOSurface rather than from an explicit pointer.
> Note that unlike glTexImage2D(), the binding is "live", in that if the contents of

Thus we should be able to rely on glFlush to synchronize the change. If we bind before the flush we will be drawing the previous frame until the flush has been made. SendShow will notify that a glFlush has occurred but the changes will be visible immediately after the flush (unless the window changed, in which case a new surface is allocated).

Generic part seems ok for me, but I think some other mac-GFX people should take a look at this patch and prove that double buffering and sync is not needed here, and possibly this wiki rules does not apply on mac...
who can do that? roc?
This patch only provides async Core Animation. I'll post a patch next week for async Core Graphics that will follow the plug-in strategy more closely.

PluginInstanceParent::mIOSurface should be nsAutoPtr as well
I don't really follow the explanation in comment #14. I don't think we can rely on glFlush for synchronization; that will ensure any drawing done before the glFlush shows up when we use the IOSurface after the glFlush, but the problem to worry about is what happens when the parent process uses the IOSurface to draw the previous frame while CARenderer draws the CALayer for the new frame to the IOSurface. glFlush won't prevent that, because there is no guarantee that nothing is drawn until the glFlush happens. (It would be perfectly valid for a GL implementation to draw everything synchronously and make glFlush a no-op.)
But without knowing what goes on under the covers with IOSurface and CARenderers, I don't know if there's a real synchronization hazard here or not.
On the other hand, if we never see any visual problems in practice, then the overhead of synchronization or copying is probably not worth it even if we need it in theory.

Async CG via Async CA v1
This patch creates a CALayer that we use to draw Core Graphics within. This let's us use the same code path as CALayer for async and allows us to use IOSurface cross process rather then bitmap shared memory. This moves some of the work from the content process to the plugin process since we don't have to convert a CGBitmapContext to a layer.
Once/If OS X gives us accelerated Core Graphics context within Core Animation we should see additional speed improvements.

I'm not sure why this got marked tracking firefox 6, but I'm pretty damn certain I don't want it to land on Aurora. This is the kind of thing that needs lots of bake time.
Agreed with Benjamin, long standing issue, landing for 7 is fine.
This got marked tracking? because it blocks two security sensitive bugs that were both marked tracking-firefox6+ I'm totally cool with minusing this but it means re-visiting bug 552002 and bug 591409 and presumably minusing those as well. (My nomination here was about housekeeping, not advocacy)

You're right. This isn't picked up since this code isn't being hit because of bug 663259. I'm working on a patch that will fix these issue as well as some test failures.
This bug is pretty big, patches have landed. I'd vote for a new followup bug rather than reopening this one.

wore these skiing once last winter and maybe 5 times this year. i was using glove liners underneath & they were very comfortable this way. without the glove liners they are not quite warm enough on colder days. the last time i wore them, the lining of the mitten pulled out of the thumb and i couldn't get the lining to sit flat after that - resulting in an annoying tangle of lumpy fabric in the thumb of the mitten. i also can't use the glove liners underneath anymore because they get caught up in the loose mitten lining. probably should have spent the extra cash on something a little higher quality.

See More + First, the region is increasingly more connected with itself and with other economies. Although economies in the North capture the bulk of the region's investments, EAP's connectivity with the South has grown relatively faster. Second, the largest economies in the region (China, Japan, the Republic of Korea, and Singapore) account for most of EAP's cross-border investments. Third, compared with the other South regions, EAP displays a higher level of intraregional and outward investments, reflecting the region's role as a net capital exporter. The differences with South regions are persistent over time. Although EAP lags behind as a destination of foreign investments, inflows to developing EAP economies are comparable to those to other South regions.

This volume a collaborative work between the World Bank' Global Governance Practice and a team of researchers working with the Korean Development Institute is dedicated to the proposition that there is much that can be learned from a careful and nuanced assessment of Korea's experience with e-governance. ... See More + It seeks to draw lessons both from the large reservoir of experience as to what has worked, as well as the more limited and isolated examples of what has not. In particular, it seeks to achieve two objectives. The first is to accurately understand, capture and distill the key dimensions of Korea's e-governance experience so that it can be properly understood and appreciated. Towards this end, some of the world's leading experts on Korea's e-governance experience have been engaged in its preparation, and their conclusions have been carefully vetted and reviewed by other leading scholars of the role of IT systems within government. The goal is to avoid flip generalizations or characterizations, such as political will is important or it is important to embed e-governance within a broader strategy to develop a domestic IT industry, but to truly understand the complex interplay between differing political, economic and bureaucratic interests and how they shaped decisions about developing the technological and human infrastructure that would support Korea's successful thrust to be the world's leading nation in this area. The second is to ponder the lessons learned and what did and did not work from Korea's experience for other developing countries seeking to strengthen the role of information technology within their public sectors.

This paper reviews the Republic of Korea's experience with electronic tax invoices for its value-added tax regime from the perspectives of tax policy makers and administrators. ... See More + The paper evaluates Korea's implementation of electronic tax invoicing and analyzes its effect on tax compliance through enhanced transparency of business transactions and taxpayer services. First implemented in 2011, mandatory electronic tax invoicing has been credited with lowering tax compliance costs and raising the transparency of business transactions. Effective policy design and implementation have contributed to the country's success with electronic tax invoicing. Measured in transaction value, the electronic tax invoice adoption rate reached 99.8 percent in the first year and rose to 99.9 percent by 2013, compared with 15 percent before electronic tax invoicing became mandatory. According to a survey of taxpayers and tax practitioners in Korea that was conducted as part of this research study, 69.4 percent of the respondents agreed or strongly agreed that mandatory electronic tax invoicing has contributed to curbing value-added tax evasion by raising transaction transparency, and 72.9 percent agreed or strongly agreed that it has improved taxpayer service by facilitating the convenience of tax filing or automating the issuance of invoices. The review of Korea's experiences gives credence to the contention that well-planned and well-executed compulsory electronic tax invoices can materially enhance tax compliance through significant institutional and perceptual changes in tax administration.

Water security and water quality affect numerous economic sectors and areas: agriculture, energy, disaster management, and others. Countries need balanced and integrated approaches that are economically, environmentally, and socially sustainable. ... See More + Threats related to climate change have added to the complexity, and to the importance, of water resource management. Korea's integrated water resources management approach since the 1990s reflects the country's "green" climate-resilient development path. The Korean Green Growth Trust Fund's (KGGTF) 3rd "Knowledge Note", Promoting Green Growth through Water Resources Management: the Case of Republic of Korea, outlines key responses to Korea's water resource challenges. The report highlights the Korean Government's "Four Major River Restoration Project (4MRRP)", a multi-purpose, green-growth infrastructure initiative. Involving five ministries and 78 local authorities in a comprehensive and integrated approach, the Note showcases lessons from 4MRRP for other countries to learn from Korea's experience overcoming institutional, legislative, governance, technical and financial hurdles.

This economy profile for Doing Business 2016 presents the 11 Doing Business indicators for Korea, Republic of. To allow for useful comparison, the profile also provides data for other selected economies (comparator economies) for each indicator. ... See More + Doing Business 2016 is the 13th edition in a series of annual reports measuring the regulations that enhance business activity and those that constrain it. Economies are ranked on their ease of doing business; for 2015 Korea, Republic of ranks 4. A high ease of doing business ranking means the regulatory environment is more conducive to the starting and operation of a local firm. Doing Business presents quantitative indicators on business regulations and the protection of property rights that can be compared across 189 economies from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe and over time. Doing Business sheds light on how easy or difficult it is for a local entrepreneur to open and run a small to medium-size business when complying with relevant regulations. It measures and tracks changes in regulations affecting 11 areas in the life cycle of a business: starting a business, dealing with construction permits, getting electricity, registering property, getting credit, protecting minority investors, paying taxes, trading across borders, enforcing contracts, resolving insolvency and labor market regulation. The data in this report are current as of June 1, 2015 (except for the paying taxes indicators, which cover the period from January to December 2014). See Less -

Working Paper 105496 SEP 15, 2015
Megacities in developing countries suffer from serious traffic congestion, high levels of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and heavy air pollution. ... See More + These urban areas face a stark dilemma: economic expansion attracts more people and vehicles; but the resulting traffic and pollution hinder further growth while reducing the quality of life for their citizens. Not long ago, Seoul faced a similar conundrum. Choked with pollution and traffic jams, it changed course and helped Korea make a historic transition to green urban transport. It shifted from supply-side policies focused on expanding roadways and metro lines to green demand-side policies focused on creating transit-oriented cities. Today, Seoul boasts a passenger-trip share for metro and bus of more than 60 percent. Energy consumption in Korea's road sector is lower than in other countries with similar gross domestic product (GDP). Congestion costs have been decreasing, and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in the transport sector have been kept under control. This path breaking transition was founded on multimodal solutions integrated by information and communication technology (ICT) in a context of strong political leadership and public financing.

This note lays out the rationale for including land administration quality index in the standard 'registering property' indicator by doing business and discusses initial evidence from the global sample, showing that many countries, including some that have performed well on Doing Business's traditional ranking, have a long way to go to establish a system of land administration that is reliable and transparent, achieves sufficient coverage, and minimizes disputes. ... See More + The cases in this brochure document that by smartly deploying new technology, countries can make progress in this direction irrespective of their initial income level. Continued monitoring and learning from experience at all levels had an important role in facilitating such progress. Doing Business will contribute to this agenda by elevating the profile of land governance, tracking countries' performance with respect to land administration quality index, and fostering global exchange and learning from good performers.

Hilhorst,Dorothea Huberta Maria; Meunier,Frederic Disclosed
To achieve the new national development vision, Korean leadership took a strategic approach in which the government played an active role, similar to the visionary approach used to achieve rapid economic development in the 1960s and 1970s. ... See More + The government established a legal framework on low carbon and green growth, set up a governance structure to implement green growth initiatives systematically, and established fiscal policies and budget resources to support the initiatives firmly. The purpose of this note is primarily to explain why Korea adopted a green growth strategy as a new national development paradigm and how it was implemented by the government. Section one gives overview; section two illustrates why green growth was a necessity in Korea; section three describes how green growth was implemented by the Korean government, particularly with respect to institutional arrangements and fiscal adjustments for green growth; section four presents the key outcomes thus far; and section five identifies lessons that can be applied in other countries.

Choi,Sang Dae Disclosed
This paper uses a three-step Bayesian cross-entropy estimation approach in an environment of noisy and scarce data to estimate behavioral parameters for a computable general equilibrium model. ... See More + The estimation also measures how labor-augmenting productivity and other structural parameters in the model may have shifted over time to contribute to the generation of historically observed changes in the economic arrangement. In this approach, the parameters in a computable general equilibrium model are treated as fixed but unobserved, represented as prior mean values with prior error mass functions. Estimation of the parameters involves using an information-theoretic Bayesian approach to exploit additional information in the form of new data from a series of social accounting matrices, which are assumed were measured with error. The estimation procedure is "efficient" in the sense that it uses all available information and makes no assumptions about unavailable information. As illustration, the methodology is applied to estimate the parameters of a computable general equilibrium model using alternative data sets for the Republic of Korea and Sub-Saharan Africa.

Korea experienced a financial crisis in the late 1990s, which it overcame successfully. The rich experiences gained in handling past crises have helped in the establishment of a broad crisis management framework in Korea. ... See More + The successful management of the 1997 financial crisis is reported to have been guided by the following principles: (i) bold and decisive measures are required to regain market confidence, rather than incremental ones; (ii) though Government will take the lead in crisis management initiatives, private capital should be encouraged to fully participate in the process; (iii) bank recapitalization and creation of a bad bank are not mutually exclusive options; the crisis management measures should be politically acceptable and have built-in exit strategies with clear time-frames; (iv) moral hazard should be minimized; and (v) all forms of financial protectionism must be rejected. Korea responded to the 2008 global financial crisis with certain policy measures that helped the Korean financial and real sectors to weather the immediate effects of the global crisis. These included policy and financial support to stabilize the money, securities, and bond markets, to extend financial support to corporate and financial entities, and to support small and medium enterprise (SME) and micro finance sectors. The authorities introduced a series of measures to contain the stress in Mutual Savings Banks (MSBs) during 2011 and 2012 and turned them around. The stress in MSBs was largely due to an extensive industry-wide exposure to troubled real estate project financing as well as shareholder and management misconduct.4 Faced with sector-wide stress and declining depositor confidence the financial sector regulatory agencies jointly announced new mitigating measures for the MSB sector.

This report discusses the remarks delivered by Jim Yong Kim, President of the World Bank. He discusses that Ebola continues to represent a serious threat, not only in terms of human lives, especially in the three most affected countries - Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra, but to the regional and global economies as well. ... See More + To promote inclusive growth, the World Bank Group works to facilitate the diffusion of knowledge and support countries in investing in the productivity and skills of their people. Taking on new challenges, solving problems creatively, and working across different backgrounds and cultures, will be important tasks for the vast majority of human beings in the 21st century.

This report contains the assessments of the Bank of Korea (BOK)-Wire and Korea Exchange (KRX) Central Counterparty (CCP) based on the Committee on Payment and Settlement Systems (CPSS) - International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) principles for Financial Market Infrastructures (PFMI). ... See More + The assessment was undertaken in the context of the International Monetary Fund's Financial Sector Assessment Program to the Republic of Korea in April and July 2013. The objective of the assessment has been to identify potential risks related to the FMIs that may affect financial stability. The scope of the assessment includes two main FMIs as well as the authorities in Korea responsible for regulation, supervision, and oversight of FMIs. The BOK-Wire and the KRX CCP are assessed against all relevant principles of the PFMI. The authorities, being the BOK, the Financial Services Committee, and the Financial Supervisory Service, are assessed using the responsibilities for authorities of FMIs. This report provides introduction; methodology and information used for the assessment; overview of the payment, clearing, and settlement landscape; and key findings follow up for the BOK-Wire ; key findings and follow-up for the KRX-CCP; key findings and follow up for authorities; recommendations for the BOK-Wire ; recommendations for the KRX-CCP; and recommendations for authorities.

Working Paper 92620 SEP 01, 2014
Korea has learned valuable lessons applicable to sustainable economic development through its journey from low-income country in the 1960s to one of the most dynamic economies in the world. ... See More + Once plagued by air pollution and high energy imports, Korea positioned its program of resource management and climate change as an opportunity for socially inclusive economic growth. Projects implemented across sectors in Korea, urban planning, transport, ICT, water and waste management, carbon financing, and others, are not only reducing greenhouse gases (GHG), they are also promoting broad prosperity while making Korea more resilient to both economic shocks and natural disasters. Korea's interest in promoting green growth does not stop at its own borders. Established in 2011, the USD $40-million four year KGGTF's over-arching goal is to share knowledge and lessons based on their experiences and to build green growth planning capacity in WBG client countries. The KGGTF finances green growth programs, projects, and knowledge activities in partnership with the World Bank Group (WBG), the Korean Green Growth Partnership (KGGP). See Less -

An assessment of the level of implementation of the IOSCO Objectives and Principles of Securities Regulation (IOSCO Principles) was conducted in the Republic of Korea (Korea) from April 3 to 19, 2013 as part of the IMF-World Bank Financial Sector Assessment Program (FSAP). ... See More + The assessment was made by Eija Holttinen, Monetary and Capital Markets Department, IMF, and Andrea Corcoran, an external expert working for the World Bank. The previous IOSCO assessment of Korea was conducted in 2001-02 before the first IOSCO Assessment Methodology had been developed. From the perspective of the IOSCO Principles, this is therefore effectively a first assessment. Hence, comparisons with the prior assessment are discouraged since the process has since been refined to promote consistency and has become progressively more rigorous. The assessment was based on: (i) a self-assessment and additional written responses prepared by the authorities; (ii) reviews of the relevant legislation and regulations; (iii) meetings with the management and staff of the FSC, SFC, FSS, Ministry of Strategy and Finance (MOSF), Bank of Korea (BOK), Seoul Central District Public Prosecutors Office; and (iv) meetings with SROs and market participants, including the KRX, Korea Securities Depository (KSD), KOFIA, KICPA, Korean Chamber of Commerce and Industry, banks, securities companies, fund managers, issuers, credit rating agencies, audit firms and local lawyers specialized in securities markets law.

This assessment of the current state of the implementation of the Basel core principles for effective banking supervision (BCP) in the Republic of Korea has been completed as part of a financial sector assessment program (FSAP) update undertaken by the international monetary fund (IMF) and the World Bank (WB) during 2013. ... See More + It reflects the regulatory and supervisory framework in place as of the date of the completion of the assessment. An assessment of the effectiveness of banking supervision requires a review of the legal framework, and detailed examination of the policies and practices of the institution(s) responsible for banking regulation and supervision. In line with the BCP methodology, the assessment focused on the financial services commission - financial supervisory authority (FSC-FSS). This FSAP provides introduction; information and methodology used for assessment; institutional and macroeconomic setting and market structure - overview; preconditions for effective banking supervision; summary compliance with the Basel core principles; and detailed assessment.

The Song Remains the Same
"The grand illusion of newness is pop-culture's great sucker's-racket," said Nick Tosches once. "To begin to see that there really is nothing new under the lucky old sun is to begin to understand the nature of popular culture and the business of fame." Now let me give you the cover version: "The grand illusion of newness is pop-culture's great sucker's-racket. To begin to see that there really is nothing new under the lucky old sun is to begin to understand the nature of popular culture and the business of bame." See? Maybe not as classic, but you don't always get what you expect when you pick the Next Best Thing instead of the Next Big Thing. Not to gut the tradition—before someone figured out how to sell sheet music, there wasn't even a question of cover songs, and years of popular medieval folk weirdness stayed free-of-charge until Pentangle got to it—but cover songs and cover bands are a tricky thing.
Do it well and you're still not quite as respected as the first guy; do it wrong and oh, how they'll laugh. Or do it your own way and make it yours forever—worked for Elvis, who basically never wrote a song in his life, and who launched a million cover Elvises singing "Hound Dog," by now three times removed from Big Mama Thornton and four from the two guys in an office who really wrote it, who basically never stepped onstage in their lives except probably to accept some awards. So inside: a long line of musicians who use/contuse/defuse other people's music. Some make it new again; some just make it work; some just make the originals seem so long gone. And some make you laugh and some make you feel better about yourself and some make you feel a whole lot worse. So I guess they're just as good as the real thing.

Engine swap advice..... PLEASE!
Well, i am pretty sure my 89 YJ with a 4.2 engine is now toast... I believe it threw a rod, but cant get it to the mechanics yet to verify.
Either way, lets assume the engine is either toast or needs a major overhaul....
If I wanted to swap it out and put in a different engine (one with less then 190k on it like the one i have now) what engine is easiest to swap it out with, best to swap it out with most economical ect ect ect...
Which engine would you replace it with and why? Cost not being the MAJOR factor but a consideration...
I dont race, I dont do serious off road, and I would like it to be reasonably good mileage wise...
sounds like go with a rebuild. Adapters will have to be purchased for most if not all other motors. It can get quite exspensive.
other considerations is what kind of driving you are doing, alot of highway ? long run times may be best to go diesel. Diesel is not to good for alot of in town/ short runs though. Tire size ? how much lift ? plan on going higher ?
I would just replace or rebuild the 4.2 and use a good carb (motorcraft 2150) and a HEI dizzy, you will be more than happy with it.
I drive mostly in town and short mileage. My off road is at most decent logging roads. I dont have "big" tires yet, and at most I would want to use 33 that are wide. It is NOT lifted but has good springs.
another consideration is that the frame does have rust as I live on the ocean in a rain forest. At what point is it a scrapper?
Good gas mileage? Do the mercedes turbo diesel swap. Its dirt cheap pretty much bolt in, and people swear they get 28 mpg with it.
where to get the adapters etc for the mercedes ? probly be more power than the VW diesel
Would a benz turbo diesel give you plenty of torque to spin 35" tires with 4.88 gears in the diffs? My dad has a VW TDi and it is a sweet motor, when my 4 banger dies I would love to do a turbo diesel swap!
Benz or 4BT are ideal, but they cost a whole lot of money before you are done. I would expect 3000-4000 too do one of those. More if you get a low mileage engine.
Cost not a factor I personally would do a GM 4.3 swap with fuel injection. But if cost and ease was considered I would rebuild the 4.2, add a 4.0 head, motorcraft 2100, and TFI ignition.
I did a 5.3l l59 chevy swap about 2 years ago, but had to put my 4.2l back in for california smog nazis to be happy. I got everything to do it for just under $2000, so as you can imagine I was mad when I heard the phrase: your engine is not an available option for your vehicle make....
What is the rule of thumb with that? Do emissions go on the engines that were supposed to be available for your vehicle in all states? If you put in a diesel or a V8 how does that work? I am in PA, not the worst state, but we do have emission testing here.
I failed because of the visual inspection aspect of california smog. I went to the smog referee, and he told me that I couldn't have a chevy engine in a jeep because that chevy engine was not an "available factory option for my vehicle make." I don't know the exact rules for your state so try calling a smog referee for your county and learn the rules. As for the swap, it is very easy so don't feel overwhelmed. The chevy engine really is self sufficient and not difficult to adapt. You may need after market gauges, an inline fuel pump with the correct psi for whatever engine you choose, and all the other little basics.
Oh and after doing a few yj engine swaps (on my friends jeeps registered in arizona), I have found the chevy 350 TBI to be the most easily accomplished swap
It all depends who you are and what you know the most about. To me, a ford or dodge is just as easy.
I did a Chevy 5.3 about a year ago and love it! Get ready to spend some money! My jeep had the weak 2.5 in it. If it would have had the 4.2 in it I would have kept it that way. That is a good motor. You should get a rebuilt 4.2 with the stroker kit. Probably the most bang for your buck and easiest swap.
Get a 4.0 head and manifold some borla headers and a computer and harness out of XJ and switch your 4.2 to FI.
Now if your frame is rusty (holes not surface) you might just want to look at a newer Jeep
took the jeep to my mechanic yesterday. He is going to put together some numbers for three different options... a 4.2 replace, a V6 Chev and a straight 5 cylinder Mercedes diesel.
We figure the 4.2 will be the cheapest and easiest, but we want to see how much cheaper...
I cant find a 4BT in good shape at a decent price, and it seems the Mercedes route costs quite a bit more than anything gas. The 4BT quote I got just for the hell of it started at 10k, even though I would do it myself I wanted to see what they were going to charge me for.
For the diesel, you can get a simple bellhousing adapter and motor mounts made. If you're now up for that, check out
Okay. It's worth it for me for the torque and ability to run WVO. A bit more money on an engine and a friendship with a restaurant owner can equal free fuel? I'm in.
Also since the average cared for OM617 gets upwards of 600k miles on it, with some reaching the 1 million mark without being rebuilt? Worth the money to me.
As far as WVO, I hate French fries and don't think I would be able to stand it or the extra work, so I would be running diesel only.
I respect your decision. Totally do-able and probably cheaper. I'm excited to see the build.

Researchers haven't given much thought to the effect of noise and noise pollution on plants. After all, plants don't have ears – at least, not the kind you hear with – so there doesn't seem to be much point. But thanks to ecologist Clinton Francis, that could be about to change.
Francis is a postdoctoral researcher at the National Evolutionary Synthesis center in North Carolina. But he's spent the last few years in northwestern New Mexico, studying noise pollution in Rattlesnake Canyon.
Gnarled juniper trees and piñon pines dominate the canyon's landscape of high mesas and rough standstone cliffs. Tucked in among the trees are thousands of natural gas wells, about a third of them pressurized by ear-splitting compressors.
"They run 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, with the exception of periodic maintenance," Francis says. "So they are going all the time."
Since 2005, he's been studying how Rattlesnake Canyon's birds respond to the compressors' non-stop racket. And it looks like the noise is having an effect.
"Black-chinned hummingbirds, for example, tend to prefer and settle in really noisy landscapes, and western scrub jays tend to avoid these noisy areas," he says.
If the noise is changing the way the birds behave, Francis wondered, it might have a an effect on plants in the area too. Take, for example, the relationship between piñon trees and scrub jays.
"We know that jays are really important seed dispersers for piñon pine," Francis says. The jays bury the seeds to snack on later, but inevitably, some get forgotten and grow into new pine trees.
Francis already knew there were fewer pine seedlings at noisy sites. Was that because the noise was keeping the jays away from their pine nuts?
To find out, Francis set up motion-trigger cameras at both noisy and quiet sites, put out some seeds, and waited.
As he predicted, the jays were only stashing nuts at quiet sites, not at noisy ones. But in a twist, the seeds at noisy sites were being gobbled up anyway – by mice. And the mice weren't leaving any seeds behind to sprout.
It looked like the compressor noise was hitting the pine trees with a double whammy. "We're just not getting as many seeds going into the seed bank in noisy areas, and the ones that do might be consumed by the mice," Francis says.
But he also says the effect of noise on the canyon's plants isn't all bad. A flower pollinated by hummingbirds did better near the compressors. Remember, hummingbirds seem to like the noise – probably, Francis says, because it drives away the scrub jays that would otherwise eat the hummingbird's eggs and young.
Francis just published his research in the British journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B. And other researchers are already taking note.
Ecologist Gail Patricelli, of the University of California, also studies how gas drilling noise affects birds – in her case, the greater sage grouse. She says as far as she knows, Francis' work is the first to show how noise affects plants.
"You kind of hit yourself on the forehead and think, why didn't I think of that?" Patricelli says. And even at her remote field site in Wyoming, she says, it's not quiet.
"We hear airplanes, we hear roads going, you know, way off in the distance that are too far away to see, and yet you can still hear them. Because sound travels much, much further than a lot of the other types of disturbance," Patricelli says. "And so it's just an enormous land area that's impacted by noise and we know remarkably little about what that noise does to the ecosystem."
But it seems likely that for long-lived species like the piñon pines in Rattlesnake Canyon, the effects of noise may continue to reverberate long after the sound of the compressors has gone silent.

DOWNING STREET last night rejected Labour demands for a leaks inquiry and said the Government had authorised a 'courtesy call' to Lord Lawson telling the former Chancellor that the pound had been withdrawn from the Exchange Rate Mechanism before it was announced, writes Colin Brown.
The Prime Minister's office said: 'There was a courtesy call to Lord Lawson in view of his close connections to the Exchange Rate Mechanism.'
Lord Lawson, who failed to persuade Mrs Thatcher to allow Britain to enter the ERM in 1985, said yesterday in an interview with the Daily Telegraph: 'It was a major defeat. My heart sank.'
However, Margaret Beckett, the Labour deputy leader, said it was 'scandalous' that Lord Lawson had been told before the announcement. 'This wasn't a courtesy - it was a serious leak of vital information.
'I can understand the human impulse to tell Mr Lawson, but to have economic information of such vital importance to the national interest passed on to a major figure in one of our biggest banks (Barclays) is terrifying.'
Downing Street said it did not know who informed Lord Lawson. 'I am sure that it would have been authorised at senior level,' the Prime Minister's office said. It was not known whether John Major personally authorised the call.
Lord Lawson, a director of GPA, an Irish aircraft leasing company, and Barclays Bank, could not be contacted.

About Kieran McGee
Kieran McGee delivers a sound that defies easy categorization but nonetheless marks him as a compelling new voice on the folk music scene. Inspired by the music and writing of Woody Guthrie, Skip James, Bob Dylan, the Carter Family, and Lou Reed, as well as the collected works of Jack Kerouac and other Beat poets and novelists, McGee has been described in the press as the "150-year-old soul of a Delta blues musician expressing itself through the body of a stunningly savvy 15-year-old." All in all, the native New Yorker delivers a sound that falls somehwrere between folk, traditional country, country-blues, and minimalist rock & roll in the vein of the Velvet Underground. ~ Cub Koda, Rovi

Hiring mobile developer for work on music app
- Status Closed
- Budget $3000 - $5000 AUD
- Total Bids 60
Project Description
I am looking to hire and generously compensate a talented developer to improve a pre-existing app.
If interested you will be asked to sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement and then given access to the project on a trial basis. You will be paid a fixed fee for 8 hours (one work day) of initial work. However, depending upon your understanding of the project and your ability to make improvements during that period (goals will be provided) you may be offered a formal job.
The job offer will be for a lead mobile developer position in a start-up company and will be well paid with equity bonuses available. You will have serious creative freedom in your work, hours are 99% flexible, and you will be challenged to innovate non-stop. Work will be done remotely.
Of course, I will provide more details about my company, the app, and the improvements to be made after I receive your proposal. At that time you will be (of course of course) free to decline the offer for initial work with no hard feelings at all. However, trust me that this is a very exciting, and quite lucrative, opportunity for a talented and caring coder. Submit a proposal – the worst that could happen is you're not interested after all.
VERY IMPORTANT: To separate you from the spammers, please write I AM REAL as the first line of your bid. I will delete all bids that do not start with this phrase, since most bidders never read the requirements. Thank you for being one who does.Get free quotes for a project like this
