Hi Tim.
i was reading a post on a guy who had problems with a neutral safety switch and i found his comments on the transmission interesting. Thought you may want to read this for your information. Especially the part where he says it sliipped into reverse
" I am having an issue with my 1968 Ranchero 500 (c4 auto, column selector). The neutral safety switch has been flakey for a while (pull the column selector forward while in park or joggle it in the right position when in neutral), but it seems to have finally failed completely.
OK, that was great, found it. Exactly as shown by 72GTVA and Fomoco8 and described by burninbush. THANKS!!!
Now, I agree with someone (don't see the post here now for some reason) who said that the worn out and therefor sloppy shift selector mechanism was probably more to blame than the switch itself. The selector is so sloppy, it has slipped in to reverse from park on me before!!
That being the likely case, isn't it true that installing an aftermarket floor shifter, like a Hurst Quarter Stick, is the answer to all my problems here? And, is a Quarter Stick a good "economy" choice (on a budget here...)? I don't know what all is out there, or how they compare to each other in the price-performance arena. Oh, and how do I tell if I have a Forward or Reverse Valve Body?
Thanks again! "

I can see how the detents are spaced on the Chev example. That makes sense but Ford closing the spacing with the consequences of jumping into reverse, and leaving it , until the secret fix crept into the production line, that is criminal. How many c6 trans are still out there circulating. You would never hear of "incidents' as cars dont just jump into reverse.
I looked at the detent spacing on the C4 and between P, R,N D 2 1 it seems fairly even.
Exposed screws are not a problem for most but when the designers cannot be swayed i guess you're stumped. There are only three black screws visible from the driver eye's in my Mustang and i dont think that would have sent me down the road to buy another car. I think there are a couple more black self tappers to the right of the glove box. What a designers nightmare
For me the body shape from the profiled door to the rear guard extensions are the highlight of the 67 coupe.
harvard MBA's and accounts
I have worked at a few companies that have lost a lot of money, or shut down because of stupid decisions and polices from the newly hired business experts. And product designers that said that the Mustang that had the apx 2 x 8 brushed aluminum panel in the instrument panel could not have any exposed screws, even though the gage cluster right next to it had 6 exposed screws. I said if a potential buyer saw 2 screws would he rush to the chevy dealer to buy a camero, the designer said no screws, He was GOD. The panel was held on with 2 nuts on the back side studs, An in-factory repair of other problems required 3 hours because of no easy access. For our repairs the tech would break the panel, do the repair in 15 minutes, install a couple tinnerman J clips, then install and new panel we had drilled and countersunk the holes and used the same screws as the gage cluster.
C 6 probem
On the early C6 transmissions there was not enough space between R and P. On a GM transmission , to illustrate hold your hand out and spread your fingers. the space between your thumb and index finger is how the GM shift detents were designed.(Ford later copied the GM spacing ) On a GM trans when you moved the column lever from R toward to P the pawl locked the output shaft and the hyd valve was still in reverse, if you accelerated the engine the vehicle would not move because the pawl was locked. move farther toward P and the valve shifted into Neutral and engine RPM dropped . , and you would lock the column lever in the park detent. ON The Ford the R and P were too close together, because of manufacturing tollerence-design the hyd valve would shift into neutral before the pawl locked the output shaft or the column locked the shift lever. The engine RPM would DROP an the driver would THINK he was in park. Bump the steering wheel, get out and grab the steering wheel, there was enough movement that linkage would move back into reverse and people got backed over. I demonstrated that on several trucks just off the end of the assembly line and was told to be Quiet !!

The C6 issue sounds bad Tim. Manufacturers now recall cars for sticky accelerators, and other minor things but to let a trans progress down the line knowing the consequences is prison time.I am glad my Mustang has a C4. Dont bean counters give you the sh--s. Our factory was eventually taken over by the accountant.

Missing out on a new Ford Tim would not have been be putting a smile on your face at the time. Bad air is another issue. Hope you still have a good set of lungs.Sounds as if toxic fumes at that time were not worried about as long as the production line rolled along meeting quotas Fumes drove my buddy from his bodyworks who now runs his own heat pump business. I recall the plating baths in our factory which electroplated flash coatings on the rod and mains caused health issue concerns for the employees. They were "lead" baths. Sounds as if the "ideas men" were spoilt or rewarded well for their ideas in the US. What sort of truck would it have been Tim?
mustang 3 gallons,
One of the Engineers in our office was awarded a new mustang for proposing Ford put more gas in the new cars, ( Invoiced at higher retail price on the window sticker ) The profit margin was 3 times higher on gasoline than it was on the cars. Two years later when truck fuel systems had to meet new safety roll over standards it was harder to get enough fuel in trucks he revised the fuel fill nozzel to a smaller size and 4 ft of clear tubing so the fuel was dumped in the bottom of the tank and the air could escape without sloshing ruel out, another new mustang. The paperwork was in to give me a new truck but I filed a workers compensation claim before i got the keys in my hand, Ford was in violation of air standards inside the factory and half of my techs and myself were having health problems.

The fix for 67 wind whistle........
Hi Tim and boothboy.
Well my daughter sat in the back seat while i drove at about 70kph ( whistling speed) With the funnel and hose she was able to pinpoint the wind noise to the front lower intersection between the quarter vent frame and body seal. I put some tape in the door at the top of the vent frame and shut the door on it to see how much bite there was . Plenty at the top but none at the bottom as in the pics.
When the door closes on the seal it just pushes the seal further in without any crush. By putting a piece of 1/4 inch rubber tube used for windscreen squirters in behind the seal it fixed the problem. No more whislte. I will glue it on the back now with some instant loctite . Problem solved.
I can see if the seal had been made out of round section, rather than the oval section there would be positive crush between the door and body seal.
I guess that s why you have the Tims of the production line world to sign off on improvements on the next model.
Thanks for your input to solve this annoying problem.

very used and abused mustang
No wonder it looked tired when i bought it. If it left the factory with an extra 3 or 4 thousand miles on it and then someone "wound it forward" it probably was heading for the crusher before it was run in.
|Yep that's how we got them. Three miles and three gal. of gas. We use to do the same thing with the salesman's demo's. I re-set a lot of odometers back then. But on the other hand i re-set a number of odometer forward on used Mustangs so the could run them as leaders and no one would want them . They sold right off anyway. Those were the days.
R vin mustangs
Most of the time we build the mustangs at san jose we were 18 to 20 % below the buget cost and had the lowest dealer charge back, XR 7 cougars were a nightmare to build. Qc did not enforce the paint thickness spec on cars with vinyl tops, and the production manager had the crew do too much grinding on the 2 dr hardtops quarter roof joints. I have never heard of anyone having one of the show car specials they were eventuall sold to a retail customer. . the entire body had a class one metal finish and they were displayed with the doors open so all the visible body seams were leaded over and as smooth as the exterior. One scam Ford did was allow the district sales staff to pull a new car off the assembly line , disconnect the spedo and set up a dummy spedo on the floor and drive them for 3 or 4 thousand miles, change the oil and filter , then reconnect the spedo showing 3 miles and send the car to the dealer.
Truthfully the early Mustangs came through pretty darn good. You did a good job. I think I still have a couple of those rear hold down shipping plates someplace. I know I still have a drawer full of tire caps. Take offs after you installed the wheel covers. Wheel covers , kick panels and front carpets came in the trunks. Radio antennas also if the car came with a radio.
Al try the trick with the heater hose. It really works well.
Not Me
We built mustangs, then Fairlane mixed in then pinto and mustang II , and I had pickups for a while. Never any big cars after falcolns I wrote so many problem reports on one designer he almost got fired, Ford still uses the truck jack handle hold down bolt I designed in 1979 , dog point , included washer and wing top that could be tightened on the assembly line with and air tool. Sometimes we just ignored the designers and did thing our own way. The Mustang tailight wiring harness 14405 was folded up and shipped to us, when installed in a mustang it would catch on the Qtr window and short out, We installed a truck clip to hold it in place but the bean counters said we were spending 3 cents more that was not authorized, They spent a hundred thousand in dealer repairs before they said we were right.

pool of knowledge
Thanks for your reply boothboy. Between you and Tim with the amount of experience you have dealing with production line "upgrades" i most certainly will have to fix this problem. Getting someone else to drive the car is a problem as they are too scared to drive a left hand drive car. which leaves me.
I will try some blu tak and pack out the window weather strip . I am trying to see any differences between the LHS and RHS window seals/fit but to look at they are identical. Two vent windows , one whistle. May have to tie some heater hose to my left ear and go for a drive.

Trompe-l'œil, which can also be spelled without the hyphen in English as trompe l'oeil,[1] (French for deceive the eye, pronounced [tʁɔ̃p lœj]) is an art technique involving extremely realistic imagery in order to create the optical illusion that the depicted objects appear in three dimensions.
Perhaps now you see why any 2D drawings are quite obviously off-topic.
I do know what it is, but I appreciate that you're trying to be educational.I think Derbies allow a lot of room for interpretation and creative expression- I enjoyed the challenge brought by this week's theme and the neat ideas people come up with! I am glad that we could have a civilized discussion about it. Back to this awesome shirt, I hope that this shirt gets resubmitted or printed as a daily!

"I feel like such a anxious one, I left my shirt over the back of the chair last night, and when I got up to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night I saw it and thought there was a fox in my bedroom."
I'm not saying "this is a bad shirt" this is an AWESOME SHIRT. It proves, once more, that there's a reason RamyB could sell t-shirts to eskimos. But I will say "OFF TOPIC." because it's also that, and they're not mutually exclusive.
autsey wrote:I think Derbies allow a lot of room for interpretation and creative expression- I enjoyed the challenge brought by this week's theme and the neat ideas people come up with!
I personally didn't find this particular shirt to be an interpretation or creative expression on the theme. It's FLAT, it's not even shaded. yes it has an 'x-ray' but even that is FLAT and not shaded. I think these 3 are better examples of interpretation or creative expression on the theme:
None of them are themselves Trompe-l'œil, but are Trompe-l'œil concepts, or commentary on Trompe-l'œil.
This is cute (though I'd never wear it) and could be revised to fit the theme, but currently it's just OFF TOPIC.

An instinct for self preservation is a defining characteristic of all creatures. Sir Henry Wellcome (1853 – 1936) set out to explore its human expression by amassing an astonishing range of objects used since antiquity to fend off death. Using the profits from the drug company he founded, he collected around one million items, first exhibited in in 1913.
Around 100,000 of them are on loan to the Science Museum which this month launched a new website, Brought to Life: Exploring the History of Medicine, showcasing 2,500 of the most interesting of them. From anaesthetic machines to anti-masturbation devices, they offer a glimpse into our obsessive quest for health and wellbeing. Robert Bud, principal curator of medicine at the Science Museum says: "Henry Wellcome saw in the development of medicine the development of all human civilisation. He had a real faith in medicine as a pillar of culture."

Focus Enthusiast
What every Focus owner needs to know about the Ford Pinto
Since joining this forum and recently having purchased a Focus Ti, I've had an opportunity to become familiar with some of the stories shared by other members regarding there personal experience with their cars. Obviously the most notable stories are situations involving premature clutch replacement, reoccurring DCT failures and those individuals who've completely lost hope, given up and either sold or traded-in. Then there are those who file lemon law claims...but that's another Oprah for a different day. Throughout it all, I've noticed there's a reoccurring theme that's often repeated by users on this forum who share their stories; dealers who claim, "can't duplicate customer concern" or "no problem found." If the stories on this forum are any indication, the dreaded "no problem found" scenario has reached epidemic proportions. I too experienced this myself when I took my Focus in after only 700 miles when the car began shuddering, shifting erratically and lurching forward. This behavior seems to mimic the problems other users have had with their DCT.
The point to this is, users on this forum complain that Ford isn't listening or that they don't care or use catch phrases like "no problem found" to avoid making costly repairs. Well the truth is, in my opinion anyway, that all manufacturers try to avoid covering warrantable items if they think they can get away with it. As I've stated in other threads before, stalling or delaying is a "tactic" that is used by all the manufacturers to mitigate potential financial loss. Recently, while posting in a separate thread where I discussed lemon law claims and how manufacturers ignore requests as long as possible until lawyers get involved, I referenced the Ford Pinto recall which involved 500 deaths (by some estimates) due to gas tanks which were prone to exploding upon rear impact. There were several wrongful death lawsuits filed and damages in the millions of dollars were awarded to the litigants. In one such case, the punitive damages were $125,000,000. Also of significant note was the case of: State of Indiana v. Ford Motor Co., where Ford was indicted on criminal homicide charges; the first of its kind for an American corporation during that time. GM had a similar problem with exploding gas tanks on some of their side-saddle gas tanks found on Chevy and GMC trucks which resulted in more deaths, more lawsuits and more court damages awarded.
In both these cases, the manufactures knew about the dangers, but opted to continue building the vehicles without making any changes in favor of profit. Memos and depositions in the Ford case and in the investigation of GM by the NHTSA it was discovered that the manufacturers used "cost to benefit analysis" in making their decision NOT to make important safety changes which in the case of the Pinto, would have only cost an additional $11.00 per unit, saving potentially hundreds of lives in the process. Ford calculated the cost of settling wrongful death lawsuits (approx. $200k per death) as a cheaper way to go as opposed to making safety changes. Well...that was then and this is now and I think we can all agree that the quality of American automobiles has improved tremendously since the 70's and 80's. Also automotive safety is probably the best it's ever been in all the years of automotive manufacturing combined. Cars are much safer without a doubt.
So what's the point of this? It's simple. While the cars themselves are better built and safer overall, there's still room for defects. Let's face it, even with today's modern technology, defects still happen. We need to look no further than the huge public relations nightmare Toyota experienced a couple years ago with unintended acceleration on certain Prius and other hybrid models. A settlement was reached where Toyota has agreed to pay $1.1 billion, which is in addition to the cost of all the recalls. So why do you suppose Ford is ignoring the DCT issues that so many have complained about instead of issuing a recall? Well....I think you probably already know the answer to that.
Food for thought people....food for thought.
Focus Addict
Nevermind the facts that the "cost-benefit" analysis was derived from the interaction of the Government with a few government liaisons within the regulatory body and not something made up by Ford in the Pinto case, as well as the thing that they were being harped on for the fuel system integrity was initially dealing with a roll over and not a rear impact in the first place its easy to see the smear campaigns waged against Ford specifically when none of the other subcompacts were that much safer, if at all in that era.
Moderator for: DURATEC Ti-VCT Performance, ST Performance, MK3 Focus
Focus Enthusiast
Ford did use a "cost-benefit" analysis. In fact Ford cited their cost-benefit analysis as part of their legal defense (see chart below). Not only that, during testing/development stage, Ford crash tested 11 Pintos, 8 of which had test results which resulted in "potentially catastrophic situations". Basically these were fireballs. Accidents waiting to happen.
I should note however that Ford was cleared of any criminal wrong doing and that no laws were broken. It amounted to a finding by the NHTSA that the cars were deemed unsafe and a mandatory recall was issued on 1.5 million cars. Also it was a huge publicity nightmare, to say the least. Pinto production ended shortly thereafter.
You're probably right about other sub-compacts not being much safer. In general, I think that with very few exceptions safety wasn't at the top of the list for most manufactures. However, the early Toyota's, Datsun's and Honda's didn't have these issues, at least not on the scale of the Pinto. If they did, I think those companies would have faced the same scrutiny and loss of reputation. Another point I think we agree on is, filing criminal (homicide) charges against Ford was unfounded and the result of a well orchestrated smear campaign. As you probably remember the Chevy Corvair suffered a similar fate when Ralph Nader went on the attack. Independent studies eventually cleared the Corvair's name as it was deemed to be on par with other competitors with regard to safety in scenarios where the car is pushed to extremes.
At the end of the day, I think it all came down to a calculated risk for Ford when they produced the Pinto. I'd say, they lost that bet. GM faired much better.

Just Tom,
Do you really want to be known as a blowhard? Because that is exactly where your going. Please read the following:
Yes it is long. Articles published in Rutgers publications tend to be. But it proves that the entire Pinto "exploding gastank" was hysteria, completely unfounded.
Every automaker does cost-benefit analysis. If an automaker actually built in safety with no cost benefit analysis then cars would come equipped with brethalizers, speed limters that would prevent the car from going over 35Mph, gigantic foam bumpers front and rear, and so many airbags that if the car hit anything all the airbags inflating would cause the body of the car to explode off of it.
The fact is that the driver behind the wheel has 80% of the control over whether the car gets into an accident or not. The Pinto was a cheap-as-sin car, and purchased by many young 20-somethings who haven't learned to drive safely. So it tended to get banged up a lot. But the study cited - done long after the hysteria died down - showed that the exploding gas tank was a myth.
Focus Jr. Enthusiast
At the risk of sounding like a blowhard, I'm surprised that ANYONE would be surprised by the post at all. The same post can be said for almost any industry on the planet. The bigger the company, the more likely (it seems) that they ignore most complaints until they are forced too. Social media is RIFE with compaints about welfare recipients and how they spend all their welfare check on iphones and the latest androids out there, but the auto industry is one of the largest recipients of welfare out there. If you REALLY want to get Ford to listen to complaints, you HAVE to get the government and lawyers to force them to listen by threatening them.
So mote be it
This is all this reminds me of
Focus Enthusiast
Governments do exactly the same kind of calculations. There are multiple parts of the US bureaucracy that calculate the value of a human life (coming up with different numbers, naturally), and that information is used to decide whether or not to spend money on things like road improvements or guard rails.
You might not like that approach, but it's simply not true that "if it saves just one life", some change or activity is therefore worth any amount of money and effort to implement. And failing to exert the maximum possible effort to prevent any detectable problem is not just limited to evil giant corporations and their filthy profit motive.

Airplane manufacturers have been doing this for years. The DC-10 is a great study on plane manufacturers and airlines using cost-benefit analysis to determine if they fix a known problem before they're forced to. The real tragedy with that example is that the DC-10's first fix didn't even work...because the bean counters had a say in what the fix should be. The contrast between the DC-10 and the Pinto is that the DC-10 was actually a very good product with the exception of one door lock. Such a small piece brought down such a great plane.
Ford, like Toyota will pull every stunt they can to keep from having to admit a problem with the DCT. Toyota did this with the acceleration issue, just as they did it with the V6 sludging problem, but in the end they wound up paying for both.
It's time for Ford to own up to the design issues in the DCT and start their folks working on a fix. With an increasing number of Focuses on the road, with more and more of them passing that magical 12,000 mile mark, things are only going to get more crowded at the service departments. I, for one and glad to be rid of the DCT, and to a lesser extent, the MFT. I don't want to be a part of the problem, or a part of the fix. This could drag out for a very long time.

You lost me as soon as I read "all manufacturers try to avoid covering warrantable items if they think they can get away with it." Not sure what your background is (automotively speaking), but in the/my service advisor world, we get paid either warranty or customer pay for work. Anything I can "legitimately" bill the manufacturer for, I certainly will. A no problem found is generally a lose/lose deal. That line of thinking runs right up there with people who think cash gets them a better deal buying a new car.

Hey Oz just place the hives outside of the shade area, the bees will find the best way in and out,I wouldn't put the hives "under or in" the shade house.
Quote from: the-ecohouse.com on September 06, 2012, 06:09:07 AMHey Oz just place the hives outside of the shade area, the bees will find the best way in and out,I wouldn't put the hives "under or in" the shade house.I suggested that! even gave the whole spiel that it will be better in the long term for the hive and the pollination etc etc but they've insisted that the hives have to remain fully inside this shadehouse! There's also absolutely no gaps or ability to make gaps without taking to it with a knife! this thing is sealed tight! it's a massive structure! over 3,000m2 with ceiling height of at least 10m... the orchard manager is keeping a close eye on the hives and they've been seen to be working the flowers. He's said at the end of each day he'll walk around to shake any bees off the cloth with the hope that they give up and fly back to the hive. There hasn't been huge numbers on the cloth in the last day (maximum of about 100 over the whole structure) and the beehives have been positioned right in front of the flowering trees so hopefully they're working on the proviso that it's easier flying to the closest pollen/nectar source than flying any distance. Saying that we haven't had a really warm day yet that will get the hive really moving! There's heaps of honey in the hive so they're not going to starve out - it's just determining the best way to get them to work the flowering trees rather than wanting to go out through the shade cloth. I think part of my management plan will have to be rotating hives through along with closely monitoring populations etc. At the moment the hives are supposed to be there for 8 weeks... I'm more than happy for any thoughts/input...
Are saying this shade house is about 10m to the ceiling and about 3,000m square ??? BEE HAPPY Jim 134 :)
Quote from: Jim 134 on September 08, 2012, 06:32:34 AMAre saying this shade house is about 10m to the ceiling and about 3,000m square ??? BEE HAPPY Jim 134 :) That's correct Jim about 10m tall and 3,000sqm - it's massive! The manager is sending me some specs on the cloth they use! It's more for bird and hail protection than for shade or warmth. I wonder the same things Bernsad... I see your point in regard leaving the hives in and not rotating! I just hate the thought that some of my babies might not be getting home because of me :(

Arsène Wenger has finally revealed exactly why he wants to sign Andrei Arshavin.
The Arsenal manager has remained as tight-lipped as possible during his pursuit of the 27-year-old midfielder from Zenit St Petersburg. That has been difficult as the issue has pretty much dominated every press conference during January.
However the dénouement is now close. The transfer window slams shut on Monday. Arsenal's interest in Arshavin is now common knowledge but only on Friday did Wenger discuss why he was going for the Russian.
``He's a guy who can go past people in the final third," said the manager. "He can have the key, individually and collectively.
"He is an experienced player, 27, a good age and we are a very young side. We will not have Fabregas in the next six to eight weeks, we will not have Walcott in the next five weeks, Rosicky in the next eight weeks.
"You can see with the replay of the FA Cup we have the desire to do well in every competition and one more body could help us."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Major banks in Great Britain have agreed to curb pay of executives, to cut dividends for stockholders, and to continue loaning money to small business enterprises. The government is pouring hundreds of billions of dollars to support banks in order to prevent them from going under due to the financial crisis which now grips the world. The government expects to wind up securing ownership of many banks due to the money that is being placed in these enterprises. A major issue is the expression "performance-related pay" since the manner in which it has been applied has benefited individuals to gain enormous salaries.
However, it is unlikely the government will seek seats on Boards of Directors of those companies which obtain funds. Who knows, perhaps one day, the government will secure a share of these companies.

New Found Glory (formerly A New Found Glory)[2] is an American rock band from Coral Springs, Florida, formed in 1997. The band currently consists of Jordan Pundik (lead vocals), Chad Gilbert (lead guitar, backing vocals), Ian Grushka (bass guitar) and Cyrus Bolooki (drums).[3][4] Longtime rhythm guitarist and lyricist Steve Klein departed from the band in late 2013, following "personal differences."[5][6] During their lengthy recording career, the band have released nine studio albums, one live album, two EPs, and three cover albums.
Emerging as part of the second wave of pop punk in the late 1990s,[7][8] music critics consider them a key pioneer of the genre.[9][10][11][12][13] Labelled the "godfathers of pop punk",[14][15][16] AllMusic credits them for "practically serving alongside the work of Blink-182 as the blueprint to the entire genre for the early 2000s."[17] Also renowned for their energetic live performances,[18][19][20] the band has garnered a cult following since their inception.

Formation and debut releases (1997–99)[edit]
Samples of "The Blue Stare" and "Passing Time" from Nothing Gold Can Stay (1999). The album's grainy sound was a result of a low recording budget, which the band financed themselves. The release and a rigorous touring schedule soon earned the band a significant following.[21]

The origins of the band date back to 1997 when Jordan Pundik (vocals) and Ian Grushka (bass) played together in the band "Inner City Kids" and later "Flip 60". After disbanding "Flip 60", they recruited Stephen Klein (guitar), who Pundik met at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School and had previously played with him in the band "Fallview". The threesome began to jam together. Practicing in Grushka's garage, they later invited Joe "Taco Joe" Marino to play drums. Shortly thereafter, Chad Gilbert (lead guitar), former vocalist of Shai Hulud, joined to complete the quintet.
Pundik later stated the band name was created while he and Klein were working at Red Lobster together; "We came up with A New Found Glory, we wrote it on a napkin. I think we pulled some of it from "A Newfound Interest in Massachusetts" by the Get Up Kids".[22] The band recorded their debut EP, It's All About the Girls (1997) in a friend's apartment, and the EP was distributed by local independent label Fiddler Records. Soon after, Marino was replaced by current drummer Cyrus Bolooki after two rehearsal sessions.[22] The band went on to tour up and down the East Coast and quickly sold out the entire pressing of the EP.[21] The band's underground success soon caught the attention of Eulogy Recordings and the quintet subsequently signed shortly afterwards in order to increase distribution of their music.[22]
Following the success of their EP, the band recorded their debut full-length album, Nothing Gold Can Stay (1999), initially selling one-page insert copies at their shows supporting MxPx.[23] Richard Reines, co-founder of Drive-Thru Records had also noted their devout following and held talks with the band. Drive-Thru subsequently signed the five-piece and paid Eulogy $5,000 to license Nothing Gold Can Stay, which went on to sell more than 300,000 copies.[23]
Rise in popularity and stardom (2000–05)[edit]
The five-piece signed their first proper record deal with Drive-Thru Records,[24] and released an EP of cover songs from film soundtracks entitled From the Screen to Your Stereo in 2000. Drive-Thru's relationship with MCA Records ensured that the smaller label's more popular bands would be picked up by the major. Later that year, debut single "Hit or Miss" peaked at No. 15 on the US Modern Rock Chart,[25] which helped propel the band to a mainstream audience. Subsequently, their self-titled second album New Found Glory (2000) reached number one on the Billboard Heatseekers chart,[26] and spent 21 weeks on the Billboard 200 chart.[27] In a Kerrang! magazine article years later, they referred to the album as the band's Essential Purchase. They wrote, "marking one of the biggest and quickest improvements in alternative music, the major label debut hurled them to the forefront of the punk scene barely 12 months after its predecessor. Packed with infectious melodies and sing-along anthems, it would see them jostling with the likes of Blink-182 for the genre's crown."[2] The album also marked the official debut of the band's new moniker, which dropped the indefinite article "A" from their original name due to some fans struggling to find the band's records in stores.[2] The album was certified gold by the RIAA.[28]
Between 2002 and 2004, the band experienced the height of their popularity with headline slots on the Warped Tour with Blink-182 and a supporting tour with Green Day. Third album and major label debut, Sticks and Stones was released on June 11, 2002 and peaked at number four on the Billboard 200 chart.[27] The record spawned two popular singles; "My Friends Over You" and "Head on Collision".[25] Following the success of the album, the band headlined the 2002 Warped Tour and later saw the album certified gold by the RIAA.[28]
The lead single for their fourth album, "All Downhill from Here" reached number eleven in the Rock Chart before Catalyst (2004) was released. The album peaked at a career-high number three on the Billboard 200,[27] selling 146,000 copies in its first week.[29] The heavier style of the record, which included some metal and new wave influences,[30][31][32] was due to the comparisons that magazines and other media outlets would make between New Found Glory and other popular bands. Chad Gilbert stated: "Well, when Sticks and Stones came out and we were doing that Honda Civic Tour, we were getting compared to bands like Good Charlotte and Simple Plan we were angry with that. At that point, we were getting compared to more pop bands and we aren't a pop band."[33] The band promoted the album with a supporting tour with Green Day during the fall of 2004 on the American Idiot Tour. The song, "This Disaster", was featured in EA Sports' Madden NFL 2005,[34] and "At Least I'm Known for Something" was featured in EA's Burnout 3: Takedown. This became the band's third record to be certified gold by the RIAA.[28]
Maturity into later albums (2006–09)[edit]
Samples of "Oxygen" and "When I Die" from Coming Home (2006). The album saw the band take on a more mature sound. Drawing influence from classic rock, the album features piano, keyboards and string sections to create slower and more melodic songs.[2]

Demos for the next album were tracked with long term friend and studio engineer Paul Miner, before the band worked with Thom Panunzio (Tom Petty, Bruce Springsteen, Ozzy Osbourne) having moved into a house together in Malibu, California called the Morning View Mansion to write and record.[35] Gilbert took into the studio a book containing over 40 riff ideas that were written during the previous tour.[36] Unlike their previous releases, Gilbert and Pundik also worked on lyrics alongside primary lyricist Steve Klein for the first time.[35] The band had decided against working with Neal Avron, who had produced the band's three previous albums, as they wanted to try something different.[37] Their fifth album titled Coming Home was released on September 19, 2006 with first single, "It's Not Your Fault" in July 2006.[38] The release proved popular with many critics giving the album positive reviews. It was acclaimed for its "matured and nuanced songwriting",[39] and was generally recognised as being the band's most mature work.[17]
From the Screen to Your Stereo Part II, the band's follow-up to From the Screen to Your Stereo – a full-length album, containing 11 songs plus one bonus track for the Japanese edition and iTunes – was released on September 18, 2007 via Drive-Thru Records.[40] The first and only single from the album was "Kiss Me" and the music video can be viewed on MySpace.[41] In March 2008, a compilation named Hits was released. Two previously unreleased songs, "Situations" and "Constant Static," are also featured on the album. This was their last release on Drive-Thru/Geffen before signing with independent labels, Bridge Nine Records and Epitaph Records. In April 2008, the band released a new EP Tip of the Iceberg on CD, 7" and through digital music outlets on Bridge 9 Records containing both new material that paid homage to their melodic hardcore influences.[42][43] The CD also included an extra disc from The International Superheroes of Hardcore, named Takin' It Ova!.
Samples of "Right Where We Left Off" and "This Isn't You". The album saw the band return to their faster and more energetic roots after the mid-tempo, melodic rock of Coming Home.[44]

Their sixth studio album, Not Without a Fight,[45] was released on March 10, 2009, and was produced by Mark Hoppus. It was released through the band's new label, Epitaph Records. Hoppus has said that during recording, they had felt like a different band altogether.[46] The lead single from the album was called "Listen to Your Friends". The music video for the song was filmed in Los Angeles. The single was released December 23, 2008 in the US & a day earlier in the UK, both via iTunes & AmazonMP3. Following the album's release, the quintet set out on the "Not Without a Fight Tour" with support from Set Your Goals, Bayside and Shai Hulud.[47]
The video for second single "Don't Let Her Pull You Down" premiered on October 15,[48] and was released on October 20 via limited orange and sky blue vinyl prints.[49] On October 17 the band played a free show for around 120 fans packed into the studio where the band played a setlist made up of fan requests.[50][51]
Return to pop punk sound and line-up change (2010–13)[edit]
A special edition re-release to celebrate the tenth anniversary of their self-titled album[52][53] was released on January 26, 2010 through Geffen Records.[54] The additional material included new liner notes, demos, b-sides, The Story So Far DVD and a remix of debut single "Hit or Miss" by the late Jerry Finn.[54] A full tour was also confirmed where the band would play the record in its entirety, with support from Saves the Day, Hellogoodbye and Fireworks.[54] On the 29th and 30 May, the band headlined the Pop-Punk festival SlamDunk Festival held in Hatfield and Leeds. Shortly before the start of the band's commemorative tour, Gilbert visited his doctor for pneumonia. After suspicious cells were discovered in his thyroid, he underwent surgery which caused him to miss the first three dates of the new tour. Anthony Raneri of Bayside replaced him for this period.[55] The surgery was a success.[56] Later that year, the band headlined the Slam Dunk Festival along with Alkaline Trio and Capdown.[57]
New Found Glory began the new year by participating in the 2011 Soundwave Festival,[58][59] and were later confirmed for the Reading and Leeds Festivals in August.[60] The band also played a full tribute set to The Ramones with Marky Ramone on drums at The Bamboozle 2011 Festival.[61]
They returned to the studio in April to record their seventh album, titled Radiosurgery[62] with Neal Avron the producer having also produced their second, third and fourth albums.[63] Chad Gilbert has said that Radiosurgery "is the most upbeat, fun record we've ever recorded. Catchy but not in a fake pop sounding way. I wanted to go back to more of the roots of punk rock and pop punk and put a whole new NFG spin on it. The record goes from song to song never letting up the energy."[64] The lead single and title track, "Radiosurgery" was released on 2 August.[65][66] In March 2012, New Found Glory had announced via their website that they would be a part of the Vans Warped Tour lineup. New Found Glory will celebrate the 10th anniversary of Sticks And Stones by going on a small club tour in the fall, all around the country.
In November Pundik said that the band will take a break and won't release a new album until 2014.[67] AbsolutePunk confirmed that the band would be releasing A Very New Found Glory Christmas via cassette tape on December 1, as well as a live album some time in 2013.[68] The band recorded 3 new songs which are on their upcoming live album Kill It Live released on October 7. Also announced in this period was the departure of founding member and rhythm guitarist Steve Klein, due to him being charged with multiple counts of inappropriate contact with a minor.[69] On their Facebook page the band noted that there had been some disparity in the intended direction progressing forward, and that Steve and the remaining members had experienced insurmountable differences "over the years."[70]
Resurrection and Makes Me Sick (2014–present)[edit]
On February 25, 2014, the band announced an 11 date UK tour with main support by The Story So Far, stopping in cities around the country including London, Manchester, Birmingham, Liverpool, Cardiff and Leeds. On May 18, the band announced on their Facebook page that they would release a new album in the fall of 2014. They also mentioned that it would be released by Hopeless Records. On May 27, the band announced that they had left Epitaph Records and would be signing to Hopeless Records, where their new album will be released in the fall of 2014. On August 5, they released a new single "Selfless" from the upcoming album Resurrection. The band also filmed a music video to release with the single. On September 9, they released a new single "Ready and Willing" from the upcoming album Resurrection. The band also filmed a music video to release with the single. On October 7, 2014, they released Resurrection. On July 22, 2015, the band announced they would reissue the album on October 8, retitled Resurrection: Ascension. It features two brand new studio tracks, two reworked songs and three acoustic tracks. On the day of announcement, they also rereleased "Vicious Love" featuring Hayley Williams on vocals.
On September 28, 2016, New Found Glory announced via Facebook that pre-production had officially began for a new album and have since been posting pictures showing the progress of the writing process. On January 25, 2017, the band's next album, Makes Me Sick was announced for release on April 28.[71] The first single "Happy Being Miserable", along with its music video, was released on February 15, 2017. The influence for the music video came from the pie eating scene from the movie Stand By Me.
Side projects and collaborations[edit]
The International Superheroes of Hardcore is a side project of all members of the band and features Gilbert on vocals and Pundik on guitar, with the remaining members playing the same instruments they play in New Found Glory. All the members use pseudonyms for their "characters" in the band (e.g. Gilbert is known as "Captain Straightedge"). The band also recorded an internet-only music video for "Dig My Own Grave" with director Joseph Pattisall.[72]
In April 2008 a compilation from the Punk Goes... series, called Punk Goes Crunk, was released, and features New Found Glory covering "Tennessee", originally by Arrested Development. New Found Glory had previously released another cover song, "Heaven", on Punk Goes Metal.
During "Not Without a Fight" tour, a split EP with Shai Hulud titled Not Without a Heart Once Nourished by Sticks and Stones Within Blood Ill-Tempered Misanthropy Pure Gold Can Stay was exclusively released. There were two colors limited to a total of only 500 copies and only for sale from either Shai Hulud or New Found Glory at these shows.[47]
Dashboard Confessional were to be main support for New Found Glory's headline American tour in 2010.[73] However, shortly before the tour was due to commence, Dashboard withdrew due to personal reasons and the tour was subsequently cancelled.[74] A split EP, titled Swiss Army Bro-Mance had initially been due for sale on the previously cancelled tour,[75] but was later made available online on a limited pressing of 2,500 copies.[76] The two bands played several acoustic dates in December 2010.[77]
On December 10, 2011, New Found Glory performed a live set for "Guitar Center Sessions" on DirecTV. The episode included an interview with program host, Nic Harcourt.[78]
Style and influences[edit]
New Found Glory are widely recognized for their fast and energetic pop punk music.[21][79][80][81] They have since developed a more rounded rock sound, including alternative rock,[82][83][84] and melodic hardcore styles.[42][43][85] The band's traditional sound has been described as "chunky and melodic",[86] with Rolling Stone noting their penchant for "catchy, riffy punk-rock."[87] Consequence of Sound writer Megan Ritt called the band "paragons" of the pop punk genre and noted how "the seasoned Floridian rockers are renowned for their heartfelt guitar anthems."[88] The band's music typically builds upon verse-chorus song structures, combining pop-influenced melodies with fast punk rock tempos, hardcore-tinged breakdowns, and often gang vocals.[12] The quintets fifth studio album, Coming Home was however marked as a change in direction for the band.[89][90] Its more layered and mid-tempo sound is regarded as their most mature work and has been described as a "somber, honest, polished and alternative record."[91]
Critics have praised the band for their ability to write infectious hooks and the sincerity of their lyrics, often about growing up and relationships.[2][92][93] Chad Gilbert has noted that, "if the delivery is honest and real, that's what keeps it from being the corniest thing you've ever heard before. New Found Glory is a band that people enjoy listening to not because we give off this harsh message. We write about who we are and what affects us in life and those are our relationships".[35] Bassist Ian Grushka has stated that "all of the lyrics are based on real life experiences. A song can be created from something one of us is going through or a conversation we've had."[4] While also adding, "We only really talk about personal things that have affected us first-hand, our songs are about emotions rather than some political agenda."[94] Rhythm guitarist Steve Klein was the band's primary lyricist, while lead guitarist Chad Gilbert is the main composer of the songs. Although since the recording of Coming Home, Klein, Pundik and Gilbert all worked on lyrics together.[35] They have recorded covers of The Ramones, Shelter, Lifetime, Gorilla Biscuits, Bing Crosby, Nat King Cole, The Wonders, Limahl, Aerosmith, Cyndi Lauper, Peter Cetera, Bryan Adams, Celine Dion, Sixpence None The Richer, Bob Dylan, When In Rome, Go West, Lisa Loeb, The Cardigans, Goo Goo Dolls, Simple Minds, Yann Tiersen, Madonna and Tears For Fears. They have cited hardcore bands Hatebreed and Madball, as well as fellow pop punk/punk rock bands Green Day and Blink-182 as some major influences on their career.[24][36]
In recent years the band have been cited for their long lasting influence on contemporary pop punk music.[9][12] Josh Martin, bassist for band The Wonder Years, has claimed that "Influentially, when you think about the top three pop-punk bands of all time...it's Blink-182, New Found Glory and Green Day. At least in my brain, they're on that level eternally."[14] In 2009, Alternative Press included Nothing Gold Can Stay in their "Classic Albums of '99" feature. Brendan Manley wrote, "Like its title implies, Nothing Gold Can Stay is the sonic transcript of a glorious, fleeting time for NFG - and for pop-punk. But just as gold never loses its luster, it's only fitting that 10 years later, Nothing Gold Can Stay still shines".[95] Likewise, Jason Heller of The A.V. Club reflected how their debut "snuck beneath the radar to become a massive influence on the new millennium's eruption of pop-punk."[86]

We reported yesterday on Indigo, the new voice controlled personal assistant from Artificial Solutions and promised that we'd try and spend some time with the app here at MWC. Happily we have done just that and stopped by the Artificial Solutions booth a few hours ago to talk about their new service.
Indigo is just part of a larger system which Artificial Solutions are building, based around their own natural language engine and what they refer to as the 'brain', the Teneo Interaction Engine. It's a smart looking service which we're excited to see coming to Windows Phone, read on for more details on Teneo and a video hands on.

Lenovo to release giant 27-inch 'coffee table PC'
Dismayed that family members are spread out, each with a separate PC or tablet? Lenovo has something it believes will get them back together: a PC the size of a coffee table that works like a gigantic tablet and lets four people use at once.
The IdeaCentre Horizon Table is a 27-inch screen with the innards of a Windows 8 computer built into it, and it can stand up on a table. But you can pick it up off the table, unhook the power cord and lay it flat for games of "Monopoly." It's big enough to fit four people around it, and the screen can sense ten fingers touching it at once.
Lenovo Group Ltd. says the Table PC will go on sale this summer starting at $1,699.

Good BBC article: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/8127334.stm
"Head offices and individual desks are likely to disappear in favour of
hot desks, collaborative spaces and decor that adapts to a worker's
mood" ...
"By 2030," she said, "all these pieces of kit will be embedded throughout the environment and become completely transparent."... "A
fully integrated set of technologies will follow users wherever they
are," said Dr Puybaraud.
"The whole focus is on user empowerment. Walls could become screens showing diaries,
documents or video conferences. Homes and cars would measure mood and
tune surroundings to, for instance, soothe a worker if they were
feeling stressed"
A tiny smart mobile, with a folding screen and a powerful
pico-projector could be the gadget that co-ordinates the way
information is passed on, speculated the Johnson control report...

Discussion in '2009 Playoffs' started by roscoe36, Jun 4, 2009.
I think Orlando wins game one, but the Lake Show will take it in 6 games.
Magic take this series in 5 games. They'll split in LA, then take three straight at home. Kobe pulls a LeBron at the end...
magic in 5. Gasol has a tough match up having to guard lewis and his long range shooting. Flip gasol to Howard and he will get dominated. Pietrus will do a good job guarding Kobe. Lakers havnt impressed me through these playoffs. Denver should of had game 1, and mayb possibly even game 3.
Magic have to win game one to take away the Phil advantage... remember his teams are 43-0 when they win game one of a playoff series. The Lakers lost game one of the finals to both the Pistons and Celtics and the rest is history..
Go Lakers, and Jackson please stop playing mind games w/ Bynum. You're kinda going to need him for this series . . . edited to add; For prediction Lakers in 6 or 7. Unfortunately, the match-up advantages the Magic had against the Cavs are going to look very Piston-eque IMO this series.
The game was over about 5 minutes into the third and the series might be over now that the Phil has won game one...( I stand corrected as Phil is now 43-0 when his teams take game one... 24-0 with the Bulls and 19-0 with the Lakers). Kobe outscored the Magic 18 to 15 in the 3rd... and just to make sure there was no Magic comeback, Phil kept Kobe and the starters in until less than two minutes left in the game with 20+ point lead. What if JJ Redick had tackled Kobe and broke his shooting hand in the last 5 mins of garbage time?????? Magic have three days to find their shot, so I am not predicting sweep like some of the Laker fans I heard on the radio yesterday, but the Magic will have to shoot better than 30% if they expect win any games in this series. The Magic starters were 11-46 shooting...
I thought the Magic really lost their flow when they brought Nelson in. The blowout might help him find his game and timing. I was waiting for Will Bynum to pick his pocket when he brought the ball up.
Nail on the head. Once again coach Van Dummy finds a way to screw his own team by ruining the chemistry and momentum they had built getting to the Finals by foolishly throwing a guy into the mix that has been out most of the year and WAITING UNTIL THE NBA FINALS TO DO IT. This guy never ceases to amaze me in the ways he finds to ruin his own chances. Nelson should be on the roster, but on the bench for this series Finals or not.
I wasn't opposed to him playing, but I figured that SVG would run Nelson out there for a couple of 5-7 minute stints to see if he could spark the team and spell Rafer. He acutally had like 3 nice assists when he came into the game and broke down the D so it was sort of working. I flipped to the wings game and flipped back a few minutes later, and groaned when I saw that he was still in the game. Sure enough SVG had him out there way too long (23 mins) and he finished the game with 4 assists and 6 points (I watched him dish 3 assists and score 2 points in like his first 3 mins of play). I'm not all that high on Rafer, but he should be playing more than the 25 mins he got just because he is who was playing their whole playoff run.
Agreed Ernie and Low, I just don't understand why you would put him in at this point. He is a great player, but a bad move. Plus if he was to get re-injured, I thought I heard he would be set back another 6 months. How much of this do you think was Nelson wanting and begging to play?
With Nelson being the key to the Magics regular season sweep over the Lakers and the [STRIKE]Lakers[/STRIKE] Fisher being victimized by Aaron Brooks, SVG thought maybe he could exploit him, but it backfired once Jameer had been in there for more than 10 minutes. Of course it wasn't going to stop Rafer Alston from shooting mindless three balls (0-4). He and Nelson were a combined 5-18 form the field and their shooting percentages were better than most of their team mates....
Has anyone seen SVG when he was being introduced. He looked scared. After that I saw Kobe's face and knew it was over. I was surprised how well they played that first quarter to be honest. I agree with everybody here that if SVG kept Jameer's minutes to 5-6 minutes stretches at a time, Orlando could've had a chance. That way Alston wouldn't be attempting to be the hero to keep his starting job. Unfortunately, I see SVG pulling a Curry and starting Nelson next game and playing him close to 40 minutes. Lakers came in focused and determined, whereas Orlando's youngsters still seemed to be in awe that they made it to the finals. Fisher was the weak link in LA which Orlando rarely exploited. If Orlando bounces back and ties the series before going back to Florida, they have a chance. If not, the next game will be the last game played in Staples center this season.
Not sure (Secretary Not Sure), but any amount of begging, if I were head coach, wouldn't have been enough to make me insert his arse into the lineup at this point.
IIRC Nelson skipped surgery and is not 100%. Why Van Dumby threw him in to mess with the chemistry is anyone's guess.
There are probably front office and roster politics a work here. Jameer is Dwight's best friend on the team.
All they kept saying last night in the few minutes that I watched was that he's 2 months ahead of schedule. Of course, that doesn't tell you where he's at in the recovery process. Wherever he's supposed to be though, apparently he's 2 months ahead of it.
I don't know if it was the minutes that Nelson played that was the problem. The thing that jumped out to me was that Nelson was reluctant to shoot and passed up open shots which screeched their offense to a halt.
I agree w/ the general sentiment about Nelson. He's a shoot-first, pass second PG who just looked off and like he didn't fit b/c of injury, etc. It completely changed the role of the other guards and players on the team that were taking more responsibility and knew their roles and even IMO messed with the normal player's shots,etc. Alston for all his stupidity is a pass first PG. But SVG has of course taken the opposite route, and there's an article stating how impressed he was w/ Nelson's play, and of course Jackson is playing along and praising Jameer as well.
I fell asleep watching the Lakers intro. Are you guys sure that game was in LA?

Credit by Examination
Advanced Placement Credit
Credit may be given in courses covered by the Advanced Placement Examination offered by the College Entrance Examination Board. Minimum scores range from 3 to 5 depending on the subject. If credit is given, the number of semester hours of credit allowed is determined by the extent of the college work covered by this examination. Specific information on the extent of credit awarded can be obtained from the Undergraduate Admissions Office.
College-Level Examination Program
Bradley University is committed to the principle that college-level achievement should be recognized and rewarded without regard to where, when, or how the knowledge was acquired. The University grants a maximum of 60 semester hours to those who earn scores on the College-Level Examination Program (CLEP) examinations in the 50th percentile or higher on national college sophomore norms. Credit for CLEP may be used to satisfy General Education requirements. A maximum of 30 semester hours of credit may be earned by taking the General Examinations of the College-Level Examination Program. A maximum of 6 credits may be earned for each of the following subject areas: English Composition with essay, Humanities, Mathematics, Natural Sciences, Social Sciences, and History. Students may also earn a maximum of 30 semester hours of credit by taking specific Subject Matter Examinations. Subject examinations are available in over 30 areas. The college in which a student is a major determines the applicability of CLEP credit toward degree requirements. For any English subject exam with an optional essay, the essay portion must be written and passed in order to receive credit at Bradley University. CLEP credit is transfer credit. As with other transfer credit, no CLEP credit will be accepted that duplicates credit already received from other sources. An official copy of the scores must be sent from the CLEP office, by request of the student, directly to the Office of Undergraduate Admissions. The Bradley University Center for Testing offers CLEP testing by appointment. For additional information or to make an appointment contact the Director of the Division of Research and Testing at (309) 677-2424. Students new to Bradley should discuss CLEP credit with a counselor in Undergraduate Admissions. Current students wishing to transfer CLEP credit to Bradley should discuss CLEP credit with the Registrar's Office. In all cases, an official copy of test scores must be sent from the CLEP office, by request of the student, directly to Bradley University.
For more information about the College-Level Examination Program, contact CLEP at (609) 771-7865 or visit collegeboard.com/clep.
