Kelghoul needed a new web page design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 9 designs submitted by 2 freelance designers.
I am a Real Estate broker in the DC area and I want to create an untraditional real estate website which focuses on promoting myself, my accomplishments, and negotiating stats.
I am young, energetic, and professional and I would like my website to promote those traits. The site should convey to users that my ability are superior and create an urgency to contact me.
I am targeting 25-50 year olds that are in the market to sell their home or would like to buy a home.
My target audience is tech savvy, earn over $100k/year, and seek out good service.
I would like to design the home page for my website. The home page objective is to promote my brand and services. I would like the site to employ latest web trends and calls to action.
It should be Real Estate themed site that conveys to the reader that they found the site.
You can be creative with the design but I would like to work off the colors of my logo and incorporate my profile picture.
I would like the site to be professional in nature and utilize graphics more than text. I prefer white space with these types of websites.
I like the styles of large fonts being used across many websites today, such as http://www.roost.com and contactme.com. I want the large tag line to say
"Great Agents are Hard to Find" and then list my three accomplishments:
-In 2010 my listings sold for 98.2% of list price.
-In 2010 I negotiated better than 96% of agents in DC/MD/VA
-Over $75,000,000 in sales since 2005
The page should include my logo, my profile picture, and a place for a bio video. The header should be minimal in size and the buttons/sections are "Search the MLS, Buying, Selling,"
1. There should be a MLS Search option on the site, the buttons and fields must stay the same but the background can change- see attached.
2. I would like an image/icon that conveys my advantage when representing buyers. The graphic should include 'Over $75,000,000 Sold since 2005" Then a bold header and one liner describing what it says.
3. A image/icon for my advantage when representing sellers in graph form (my listings sell for 98% of asking price vs competition sell for 94% and my listings average 22 days on market and competition is 60 days. A bold header and a one liner description.
4. An icon/image that conveys my advantage on New Construction, something to the effect of "Don't Buy New Construction until You Read This" A Bold Header and one liner description.
5. I would like a testimonial icon/image,maybe multiple quotes
6. An icon for "Explore Northern Virginia" this should include multiple images similar to the section here: http://arbourrealty.com/
7. I would like a contact form on the home page, basic name, email, phone, comment.
8. A "Market Trends" box/icon with a graph demonstrating following the link is lots of good info.
No, i have a facebook page for this brand facebook.com/bestfairfaxrealtor
http://www.tonyrobbins.com/ - I DO NOT LIKE THE HEADER AND DARK COLORS. However I do like the use of icons, i like the boxed layout, use of images and pictures, especially the bottom half.
His objective of promoting himself is the same thing I would like to do.
http://www.contactme.com/ I like the large font and bullet points and the use of video, I DO NOT like the cartoon look of the site. I also like the easy navigation and style of the footer.
http://www.roost.com/ I love the fonts, style/feel, lots of content above the fold.
http://www.webs.com I like the easy navigation, header. I would need to have much more white space and would need to fit in much more above the fold. However, I like the footer in this site as well.
http://www.estately.com I like the clean look and lots of white space.

Better forms of Will-Call (phone and photo)
Most of us have had to stand in a long will-call line to pick up tickets. We probably even paid a ticket "service fee" for the privilege. Some places are helping by having online printable tickets with a bar code. However, that requires that they have networked bar code readers at the gate which can detect things like duplicate bar codes, and people seem to rather have giant lines and many staff rather than get such machines.
Can we do it better?
Well, for starters, it would be nice if tickets could be sent not as a printable bar code, but as a message to my cell phone. Perhaps a text message with coded string, which I could then display to a camera which does OCR of it. Same as a bar code, but I can actually get it while I am on the road and don't have a printer. And I'm less likely to forget it.
Or let's go a bit further and have a downloadable ticket application on the phone. The ticket application would use bluetooth and a deliberately short range reader. I would go up to the reader, and push a button on the cell phone, and it would talk over bluetooth with the ticket scanner and authenticate the use of my ticket. The scanner would then show a symbol or colour and my phone would show that symbol/colour to confirm to the gate staff that it was my phone that synced. (Otherwise it might have been the guy in line behind me.) The scanner would be just an ordinary laptop with bluetooth. You might be able to get away with just one (saving the need for networking) because it would be very fast. People would just walk by holding up their phones, and the gatekeeper would look at the screen of the laptop (hidden) and the screen of the phone, and as long as they matched wave through the number of people it shows on the laptop screen.
Alternately you could put the bluetooth antenna in a little faraday box to be sure it doesn't talk to any other phone but the one in the box. Put phone in box, light goes on, take phone out and proceed.
Photo will-call
One reason many will-calls are slow is they ask you to show ID, often your photo-ID or the credit card used to purchase the item. But here's an interesting idea. When I purchase the ticket online, let me offer an image file with a photo. It could be my photo, or it could be the photo of the person I am buying the tickets for. It could be 3 photos if any one of those 3 people can pick up the ticket. You do not need to provide your real name, just the photo. The will call system would then inkjet print the photos on the outside of the envelope containing your tickets.
You do need some form of name or code, so the agent can find the envelope, or type the name in the computer to see the records. When the agent gets the envelope, identification will be easy. Look at the photo on the envelope, and see if it's the person at the ticket window. If so, hand it over, and you're done! No need to get out cards or hand them back and forth.
A great company to implement this would be paypal. I could pay with paypal, not revealing my name (just an E-mail address) and paypal could have a photo stored, and forward it on to the ticket seller if I check the box to do this. The ticket seller never knows my name, just my picture. You may think it's scary for people to get your picture, but in fact it's scarier to give them your name. They can collect and share data with you under your name. Your picture is not very useful for this, at least not yet, and if you like you can use one of many different pictures each time -- you can't keep using different names if you need to show ID.
This could still be done with credit cards. Many credit cards offer a "virtual credit card number" system which will generate one-time card numbers for online transactions. They could set these up so you don't have to offer a real name or address, just the photo. When picking up the item, all you need is your face.
This doesn't work if it's an over-21 venue, alas. They still want photo ID, but they only need to look at it, they don't have to record the name.
It would be more interesting if one could design a system so that people can find their own ticket envelopes. The guard would let you into the room with the ticket envelopes, and let you find yours, and then you can leave by showing your face is on the envelope. The problem is, what if you also palmed somebody else's envelope and then claimed yours, or said you couldn't find yours? That needs a pretty watchful guard which doesn't really save on staff as we're hoping. It might be possible to have the tickets in a series of closed boxes. You know your box number (it was given to you, or you selected it in advance) so you get your box and bring it to the gate person, who opens it and pulls out your ticket for you, confirming your face. Then the box is closed and returned. Make opening the boxes very noisy.
I also thought that for Burning Man, which apparently had a will-call problem this year, you could just require all people fetching their ticket be naked. For those not willing, they could do regular will-call where the ticket agent finds the envelope. :-)
I've noted before that, absent the need of the TSA to know all our names, this is how boarding passes should work. You buy a ticket, provide a photo of the person who is to fly, and the gate agent just looks to see if the face on the screen is the person flying, no need to get out ID, or tell the airline your name.
Use finger print
what would be happened if i cut all my hair, the machine may not recognize the skin head man who stands in front of the machine. I think finger print probably the effective system. Anyway nice revolution ideas....

Carmen de la Uz-Rodriguez's HITT class is my absolute favourite. I go every MWF at 9am whenever I am in town. I appreciate the fact that she genuinely has your best interest at heart. She makes an effort to not only know you by name but also make sure to teach you any workout moves that you may need to modify if you have issues like back or wrist pain. Her class is not only fun to be in, I like that she focuses on a FULL body workout which is important to me.read more

Mango Pie Recipe | No-bake mango pie recipe
Best Mango Pie Recipe | No-Bake dessert ideas I never believed in love at first sight, but until I met this simple "Mango Pie". Months back, Jeevs had a potluck at his office. That evening, he brought me a slice of mango pie from the party. The moment I saw the pie, I fell in love with it . The color was so glamorous, its texture… so shiny and silky, the taste… "oohhhh… so so divine!". I finished licking the plate in few seconds like a hungry little pussy cat and asked him, "Why didn't you manage to grab some more slice of the pie?" That day I learnt the recipe and saved it to be presented for the New Year 2013. In fact, I should tell you that you've landed on the right spot if you're looking for a quick and easy dessert for your pot-luck parties. Yeah, this… Continue reading »

Democrats for Education Reform hires new Colorado director
Democrats for Education Reform announced today its new state director is Jennifer Walmer, who has worked as chief of staff at Denver Public Schools and for House Speaker Terrance Carroll.
"Simply said, Jen Walmer is a rockstar," Carroll said in a news release announcing the appointment.
Walmer begins work Aug. 12 at Democrats for Education Reform, a political-action committee with a mission to "encourage a more productive dialogue within the Democratic Party on the need to fundamentally reform American public education."
"Jen is a fantastic leader who will take DFER-CO to its next level," said the current speaker, Democrat Mark Ferrandino, a DFER-CO advisory board member. "Not only is she highly respected in and outside the Capitol, she was the unassuming force behind several key education reform initiatives locally and statewide."
She served as chief of staff to DPS Superintendent Tom Boasberg, and most recently helped pass the voter-approved $500 million bond and mill initiative for DPS in November 2012. When she was chief of staff for the House Democrats, she helped pass landmark education reform legislation, including Senate Bill 191 on teacher tenure.
"Without her, we would have had an even tougher time passing this major piece of legislation," Carroll said."
"I see this opportunity with DFER as the perfect melding of two career passions — politics and education," Walmer said. "I plan on using my expertise and relationships in both arenas to work tirelessly toward one goal: to ensure the highest quality public education system for Colorado's children."

The group comprises Marine Scotland, which is the government directorate set up to manage the seas around the country, environmental regulators, renewable energy developers and seabed owners The Crown Estate.
The task force also wants to see common standards in data collection and assessment, the use of mandatory multilateral consultation with all sea users including fishermen, oil and gas interests and shipping, and the prioritisation of early work to identify potential sites for deep water and far-shore wind farms.
The report was welcomed by environmental group WWF Scotland. Its director Dr Richard Dixon said: "We need to make sure we get the right renewables in the right places. The recommendations from the task force are very helpful in making sure the government and industry bring together all the available information on the marine environment, and engage early with stakeholders."
Jim Smith, SSE (the former Scottish & Southern Energy) MD of renewables said: "We welcome the Scottish government's recognition of the issues faced by the offshore renewables industry around consenting.
"The recommendations of the task force are an important step forward in addressing those issues and we look forward to seeing them implemented. We sincerely hope that these measures help unlock the enormous potential of offshore wind…projects around Scotland."

Sophomore Scott Prozeller scored the game's only goal at 30:00 (photo courtesy of Gil Talbot).
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Goalkeeper Austin Harms made
one save to earn his second shutout of the season, while Scott
Prozeller scored the game's only goal to lead the Harvard men's
soccer team to a 1-0 victory over Yale at Ohiri Field Saturday
The win improves Harvard's record to 3-3-3 overall and 1-0-0 in the Ivy League, while Yale drops to 1-8-1 and 0-1-0 in the Ancient Eight.
The first half was a back and forth affair as each team had made a number of rushes. The Crimson broke through at the 30-minute mark, as Prozeller headed the ball into the right side of the net off a cross from co-captain Jaren LaGreca.
The aggressive play from both sides led to a yellow card being issues about 70 seconds later to the Bulldog's Chris Dennen as he took down Brian Rogers as he was streaking down the middle of the field, about 30 yards from the goal. Yale recorded eight fouls to Harvard's seven. Both teams had two corner kick opportunities stifled by the defense of the opposing squad.
In the second half, Harvard mustered the only shot on goal of the frame, which resulted in a save by Yale's Bobby Thalman. The Crimson owned the lead in corner kicks for the contest, 5-4, while shots were even, 11-11. Fouls were also even, 18-18, while the Bulldogs were given three yellow cards.
Harvard will step out of conference play to visit Holy Cross Wednesday, Oct. 6 at 7 p.m.

With the expected large increase in gift and estate tax rates for 2011, December 31, 2010 is the key date to make any large taxable gifts.
Currently, the maximum gift tax rate is 35% and it will rise on January 1, 2011 to 55%. There is no estate tax for 2010, but in 2011, the maximum rate will also be 55%. In other words, December 31, 2010, ironically, is the "drop-dead date" for taking advantage of the 35% rate. Basically, gift taxes are on sale for 2010 only.
If the farmer dies in 2010 after making a taxable gift, then paying the sales price - the 35% gift tax - will have backfired since there are no estate taxes owed for 2010. That is why any farmer will want to wait until December 31, 2010 to consider making these gifts.
Another potential draw back to the gift in 2010 is that if the farmer dies within 3 years of making the gift, it is basically undone and the gift and gift tax paid is included in the farmer's estate and taxed at whatever rates are in effect at that time. The farmer would not be any worse or better off from dying within this 3 year period, but the benefit of making the gift in 2010 would be nullified.
For example, let's assume we have a farmer worth $10 million and elects to make a gift on December 31, 2010 of $4 million. They will pay a gift tax of about $1.4 million. After paying this tax, they have reduced their estate from $10 million to $4.6 million. Assuming the farmer lives for at least 3 years, the estate will only pay tax on the $4.6 million at 55% or about $2.5 million of total estate tax. This tax plus the $1.4 million gift tax equals total taxes of about $3.9 million. They were able to pass on to theirs heirs $6.1 million.
Now let's assume the farmer does not live three years or does not make the gift. They will be taxed on the full $10 million at 55% or $5.5 million of total estate tax. Their heirs only recieve $4.5 million instead of $6.1 million. By making the gift on December 31, 2010, the family saved $1.6 million of estate taxes or about 30%.
This strategy is primarily focused on the farmer who has a net worth greater than $5 million, the liquidity to pay the gift tax and is probably in their 70's or 80's.
A major caveat is that Congress may make changes to the 2011 estate law before December 31, 2010, however, it makes sense to at least plan for reviewing this strategy with your tax advisor if Congress does not act in time.

If you've already got the white cat, the diamond-powered laser, and the army of henchpersons, all you need to complete your villainous lifestyle is a satellite tracking station to call home. The Jamesburg Earth Station could be yours for just under $3 million.
The station was built in Carmel Valley, CA, in the 1960s and was designed to withstand a 5-megaton nuclear blast. If that's not enticement enough, the station also comes with a helicopter pad, three bedrooms, a basketball court, two water wells, and 160 acres of property. Oh, right, and an antenna powerful enough to broadcast your own television station around the world. All that for just $2.95 million.

Precious Metal Group LLC has filed a lawsuit in federal district court alleging that the county's sign code is unconstitutional. The County Commission approved the hiring of Gary Edinger at Tuesday's meeting.
Alachua County needs a lawyer — and it's hiring one.
Precious Metal Group LLC has filed a lawsuit in federal district court alleging that the county's sign code is unconstitutional. The County Commission approved the hiring of Gary Edinger, a Gainesville-based attorney specializing in First Amendment-related cases and federal court litigation, at Tuesday's meeting.
Edinger will work with County Attorney Dave Wagner and staff on the case. A general estimate places the cost of his services at about $75,000, although the final total could be lower or higher. The county will pay for Edinger's help, and for the case's legal fees as a whole, using money from its self-insurance fund.
If it loses the case, it could be required to pay Precious Metal Group's legal fees.
The Alachua County Code Enforcement Board found the company guilty of two sign code violations in September based on a notice of violation issued by a code enforcement officer in May.
A person was holding a sign that read "We Buy Gold" at the intersection of Southwest 13th Street and Williston Road, Wagner said.
The violations were related to rules regarding prohibited portable signs and having signs in the right of way, according to Tuesday's meeting agenda. Precious Metal Group filed its complaint on Jan. 15.
Commissioners discussed the county sign code's potential implications for panhandlers or political sign-holders, but Wagner said non-commercial speech, such as panhandling, receives greater legal protection than commercial speech.
Staff will also review the sign code to determine if any potential changes should be considered in light of issues raised by this lawsuit, Wagner said.
In other business Tuesday, the commission debated possible changes to a letter the county plans to send to the U.S. Department of Justice regarding the Koppers Superfund site and its related consent decree, which is the legal agreement on the cleanup between the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and Beazer East, the company legally responsible for the contaminated property.
Chris Bird, the county environmental protection director, said he couldn't guarantee the cleanup effort would run smoothly without any aspects slipping through the cracks but promised county staff would try its best to monitor the project and keep that from happening.
During public comment on the issue, Sandra Watts Kennedy, president of the Stephen Foster Neighborhood Association Inc., urged the county to reject the cleanup plan.
"There's never any time to stop and give up. Don't give up," she said. "Please reject this. It's inadequate. It will create a ticking time-bomb."
Bird countered that, from the staff's perspective, the parties involved need to move forward with the cleanup despite its inadequacies.
"We know it's not perfect," he said. However, rejecting the plan would further delay action on the decades-long problem.
"We don't want to be talking about this five years from now and nothing's been done to help," he told the commission.
Commissioner Lee Pinkoson asked staff to modify the letter to include a section emphasizing the county's view that the current cleanup plan doesn't do enough.
Pinkoson said the message he wants to send is this: "These are your people, you know, and you're supposed to be trying to do as much as you can to protect them."
County staff will return in March with a revised letter for the commission's approval.

Record-Breaking Thread
Wednesday - My best friend has swapped his Revel F206s out for his Magnepan 3.7is, and wants me to provide a second pair of ears to dial them in with today ... and I'm glad to do it.
Returning to relative normalcy after my daughters wedding on Saturday.
Weather forecasts had been iffy all week and miraculously came around to sunny skies with temps in the mid 60's F allowing the ceremony to be outside next to the community clubhouse where the reception was.
All guests were seated at the lake waiting for her arrival. My daughter wanted me to deliver her in their Lotus Elise. Guests wouldn't see the car arriving (As no one should see a bride trying to get out of an Elise in a wedding dress. :-) To alert them of her arrival she wanted an approach that could be heard. We sat alone in the car in a driveway a quarter mile away waiting for the cue by phone. That this would be the last time I'd drive her as my unmarried daughter was not lost on either of us so we enjoyed the moment in silence with moist eyes. Her phone rang and after hanging up she said, "Let's do this!" I chirped the tires and we arrived in less than a minute with just the right sense of urgency with audible rpm's. There was no doubt for anyone that she'd arrived. :-) The ceremony was short, loving and sweet under the boughs of a willow tree.
My concerns at the reception were first, giving a coherent toast in partnership with my wife and later, executing a swing dance routine with my daughter that, due to our tight schedules, was just short of enough rehearsal for me to feel comfortable. After furtive glances at cheat sheets during the reception both toast and dance came off fine with abstinence from alcohol the only adjustment to keep brain cells focused and clear.
It was a wonderful joyous celebration with lots of appropriate emotion. Have been privileged to watch my child grow into a smart competent adult. She's chosen a kind, intelligent, hard working partner who has great relationships with his family and co-workers. As a parent you count your blessings when your kid doesn't need you anymore for all the right reasons. :-)

Awesome, Pat! Congratulations!!
Friday - Several years ago, I did a slap-dash job of caulking the bathtub. Yesterday, I RE-did it, I hope somewhat better. It LOOKS better, at least, though how it'll hold up over time, I have no idea.
Winter has officially arrived: All Track Pack GT500s have been grounded (carbon fiber and curbs don't mix), and access to any Shelby is a day-to-day, nail-biting affair. As a drop to or below 40F is too cold for their Michelins--and Ford isn't bothering to test on snow tires--their days are literally numbered.
This could be the last one I get, so in honor of T M I chose "Ford Performance Blue"...
She's a "base" (no options) model, so the MSRP is "just" $73,995. But as the best goodies come baked-in from the jump, you're not really left wanting for anything major if you go this route...
Worked the Road & Track special event at Lime Rock Park today. Eddie Alterman, Sam Smith, Travis Okulski (editor of R&T) and Alexander Rossi were in attendance. Most participants had high performance cars. Travis gave hot laps on the track in a McLaren 650 and Alexander Rossi gave hot laps in an NSX.
Participants had sessions on both autocross courses in their own cars and a gaggle of spec Miatas that were available if they didn't want to use their own cars.
I was a lead follow driver on the race track in a Camaro SS pace car. We didn't wear helmets so top speed was limited but the twisty bits were fun. Everyone had good time and I got a bunch of laps in prep for tomorrow's Miata race. 2 quallies (one Classic course and one alternate uphill and west bend.) Then 3 half hour races ( 2 Classic and 1 alternate)
Pretty much tuckered out. Yankees win to extend the playoffs and I'm hitting the pillow to recharge the batteries for tomorrow. It was a good day.8 Replies

Did you tell Eddie to pound sand and go back to wherever he went?
Left that for you to do.
He's no longer the javelin catcher your comment reflects.
He shared sadly that Hearst will be moving the offices from Ann Arbor to Detroit as a cost saving move.
He also said he didn't know why "Backfires" had been buried and orphaned, requiring a click for access after tons of alternate promotion and advertising.
We didn't have a lot of time to talk but my takeaway was as print magazine revenues decline Hearst is looking for every avenue of monetizing it's website to survive the future.
Eddie was the old school regime. The current leadership still has some good car people but we're (long time Backfires members) timing out as their target audience.
The Hearst folk can't figure out how to make money from backfires so they've hung us out here on the fringes of the site.
The first and only attempt at engagement was that license plate contest. That's the only thing I've seen since Jen left that showed any acknowledgement that we exist.
The corporate culture now running the show is quite different from the old school boys club that ran it for decades and we grew up on.

Somehow, I'm not surprised ... just saddened. There are still ways to have fun here, I think, but the lack of investment from the front office shows, and it's not flattering. That said, I really do appreciate that you hang in there, Pat. You make a difference. Don't doubt that for a moment.
I assume by "lead follow driver" that you led.
One of my most humbling moments was at Mid Ohio in the Acura High Performance driving school. It started to drizzle and the lead and I practically lapped the other drivers. They went and parked, so I told the lead I wanted to really go for it. We were going flat-out, with me almost catching him. Afterwards, I wanted to crow about my achievement, so I asked on a 1 to 10 scale how hard we were pushing.
"About a six" he said, grinning.
So how hard did you (literally) lead your followers to believe you/they were running?...

Somehow missed this when you first posted...
We weren't wearing helmets so top speed was limited but we carried good pace in the twisty bits. They were in their Ferrari's, McLaren's, Astons, Porsche's etc. and I was in a Camaro SS pace car which was nicely up to the task. My job was to model perfect racing line laps. If my group of 3 or 4 cars following held the line correctly and stayed together I'd increase the pace modestly to challenge them. We were well within the limits of the cars but closer to the limits of most of the drivers that had little or no racing experience.
I've done lead-follows for other events wearing helmets while leading super-cars that required driving closer to the limit of the street car I was given but even then you never go above 7 or 8 tenths as you never want to take someone past their abilities and crash their prized possession. You're carrying good speed so an accurate line with serious concentration is required but you leave enough margin that mistakes can be recovered from. There's always risk at speed on a race track but you learn to quickly asses the situational awareness of your lead-follow charges and challenge them without putting them at unnecessary risk.
The difficult part is having to adjust your group to the lowest common denominator of that group. If someone is really off the pace we sometimes have a "straggler" instructor standing by in a car in pit lane. We'll drive through the pits and drop off the straggler who will then be led around at a reduced pace more appropriate to their capacity while the rest of the group goes back out at a faster pace.
Saturday - Prokofiev and Beethoven tonight at Severance Hall, the 2nd Violin Concerto and 7th Symphony, respectively. Should be a good time.
Missed quite a bit in the last few days. Another software conversion is the culprit. It pays the bills, so I keep doing it.
Was pleasantly surprised to find my November issue in the mailbox when I got home yesterday. Clearly, the layout is, once again, different. No surprise. I was glad that we finally heard from our new EIC. I just hope that isn't the only time.
As for today, a little winterizing around the house today, followed by a last trip to our favorite weekend lunch/ice cream spot. This is their last weekend before they close until March. Since today's weather will be much better than tomorrow's forecast, we will go today and pay our farewell for the season.
A bit of a rant... I've been seeing that Mercedes may pull the 4 liter biturbo from the next gen C63. For a hybrid 4 cylinder. They're saying total hp will be the same or a little more, but still... Two of the things I like best about the current C63 are the AMG V8 sound track and the responsiveness of the hot v motor. I see the M3 is expected to keep its twin turbo 6. Disappointing if Mercedes actually does this.
Second rant as regards the new GT500 and Corvette... To start, I really like DCT/MCT transmissions. I find them responsive. quick shifting, and a lot of fun to drive. But the driving experience in a car such as the Corvette or a Shelby with a slick shifting manual like the Tremic can't be duplicated by an automatic. I say that fully realizing that the DCT will be quicker. I understand the manual take rate for the Corvette has been low, but recent GT500's and GT350's have only been offered with (manual) Tremics and have sold exceptionally well. For those two cars I just wish a manual was offered alongside the DCT.
Thanks, rant done...6 Replies
I'm not sure what counts as "recent," but for 2019 and 2020 the GT350 only comes as a six-speed manual (in standard and R forms); the new-for-2020 GT500 only comes with the Tremec seven-speed DCT (and only a handful have been sold as production is just starting in earnest).
I've logged hundreds of hours in both Shelbys, and while I generally prefer a manual, the GT500 could not be as good as the car it is with a third pedal.
While both have 5.2-liter V8s, the GT350's has 526 horsepower and 429 lb.-ft. of torque while the GT500's wears a supercharger with nearly half of the engine's displacement to generate 760 hp and 625 lb.-ft. There is so much grunt off the line that the transmission can bang through three or four "full pulls" in the time it takes to shift once manually.
That matters in that the GT350 is made to rev high, while the GT500 is meant to shove from down low. Thanks to its electrickery, you can set the GT500 in multiple modes, including Sport and Track (mostly traction control and... not). I found that the best way to drive them is letting the GT500 pick which cog it thinks is best until you want to jump up or down with the "paddles." After you stay in gear a few seconds it reverts to automatic. [Or you can set it in "M" and paddle by yourself.]
Just stand on the throttle and let the GT500 BWAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!! and bang off lightning-fast shifts as it pins you to your seat. It's not the corner-carver the GT350 is, choosing instead to solve all of its problems with brute force. That--as Bugatti can tell you--isn't the purview of a stick (no matter what Dodge says).
The GT350s and everything below them are a manual-only proposition. No argument there. But Ford was right when it went to the seven-speed DCT for the GT500. I went in a skeptic but came out a true believer...
Power to weight is almost as low on the '14 GT500 as the '20, and I'm fine with it being a stick. There are no 2020 GT500's around here yet, but when driving the AMG, sometimes I find myself reaching for a stick and clutch and there's nothing there. Don't want that feeling in a GT500. The (manual) Tremic is wonderfully enjoyable and engaging for real world driving. So I'm respectfully disagreeing with you. They should offer both.
Hmmm. So the next c63 4 cylinder will be around 500hp? It better sound nice because the only thing I like about the Amg is the exhaust note.
I have no doubt but that, one way or another, Ford could find a way to get 400+ horsepower out of their 2.3-liter four-pot. Would it SOUND like a Coyote, though? I'll bet all the resonators and exhaust tuning in the world that it wouldn't.

Sunday - Did I say something about yesterday's Cleveland Orchestra concert maybe being a good time? WHEW! Had a kid on the podium, one Klaus Makela, who was all of 23, but he conducted like someone with twice or three times that experience. The Messiaen (I have NEVER cared for Messiaen!) was an early work of his and quite listenable, and made more so by Makela's deft conducting. The 2nd Prokofiev Violin was STUNNING, with one Augustin Hadelich OWNING every note of the soloist's responsibilities. And then the Beethoven 7th? Fu'get about it! Utterly premium, from the first to the fourth movement.
I. Mean. Wow.
At the Lime Rock Driver's Club finale Miata event yesterday went out for qualifying on classic Lime Rock. The downhill is run close to flat in 4th gear with a modest breathe of throttle either just before or just after turn it. The after turn in breathe is a little faster but trickier and it was an after turn-in breathe that I over-modulated and spun putting me backwards into the tire wall. You're above 90mph at the apex but that speed is reduced with immediate lockup and what feels like a half hour slide through the grass before you impact the barrier. Was able to restart the car and drive it back to the pits but it wasn't right enough to use in the races.
Our next on track session was qualifying for the alternate uphill and west-bend configuration. With my car on the disabled list I jumped into one of Jack Scott's rental SM2's and having never driven that car, or driven the alternate configuration in many years, qualified 12th overall and 5th in class in a field of 22 cars.
Before crashing I'd qualified 10th overall and 2nd in class for the classic Lime Rock race #1. Had a clean start and picked up a few positions to finish 7th overall and P1 in SM2 with the fastest SM2 lap time of 1:02.4. Felt some redemption after crashing to jump in a car I didn't know and win my class with fastest lap. :-)
Second race was alternate Lime Rock. The start was waved off so we saw green on lap 2 and the mayhem began. There's a lot more up and downshifting through those slow alternate bends so many more opportunities for mistakes. Got by three cars when someone missed a shift and bogged down the cars behind him and I found a path around all three. Also set up a guy for a pass into the brake zone of the alternate uphill. He went around the outside curb on the grass and never lifted coming back across to re-enter where I was. If I hadn't lifted we'd have crashed so discretion was the better part of valor as I lived to fight another lap... The next lap in fact, where I did the same move and this time didn't lift while he spun himself off trying the grass move again. Had to smile at that one.
Got by all the SM2's except one and caught him on the last lap. One more lap and I'd have had him too. :-) Finished P7 overall and P2 in class with fastest SM2 lap time.
Disappointed in myself for crashing but felt redemption with two good drives in a rental.
After the adrenaline of crashing and racing fell away felt headachy and cranky in a way that told me my crash had given me a concussion. The new seat with head enclosure worked great but the rapid deceleration into the tire wall scrambled my eggs a bit. Having been concussed before in crashes I'm always concerned because of the cumulative damage it can do. Was paying close attention to cognitive function when I first got out of my crashed car and then got into the rental. Felt no dizziness or vision issues and in fact was pleased with my driving but after waking this morning with a headache spoke with my daughter who has done concussion protocol development for IMSA. She suggesting not racing for a month and getting back to moderate aerobic activity in the next two days to improve blood flow. The no-race directive isn't due to loss of cognitive function but to avoid the risk of having another concussion before the brain has repaired whatever happened yesterday. I can work programs on the autocross or do lead follows, just not put myself in situations where I could have a high speed rapid deceleration.
The initial assessment of the car is it might have a bent rear control arm but most of it is cosmetic. It's been over a decade since I last visited the wall in the downhill but stuff happens while driving at the edge and I exceeded my talent there yesterday. Was grateful Jack had his rental there and I could get back on the horse rather than miss the races.
The interesting question is if I'd felt the headache when I got out of the crashed car would I have gotten back in the rental. At this moment I'd probably say no, because in retrospect I put myself at risk of having a 2nd high speed event on the same day and that would be a very bad thing. Hindsight is always 20/2011 Replies
Well, PHOOEY, Pat. Glad to hear you're okay and the damage is little more than superficial.
Tough luck with the spin, and good call to hold off for a month or so. As you say, concussions have been proven to be cumulative in severity.
I can't remember which old-time Nascar driver was asked about the difference between over- and under-steer. He replied that understeer is when you see the wreck.
Glad you're OK Pat. Maybe the time off will give time to get the car race ready again. And get some more P1 in class finishes. :)

This was definitely an oversteer wreck. Modulating or lifting off throttle through the downhill makes the rear end light and you can both make a speed adjustment and point the car but it's a critical nuanced adjustment. When you mismanage it as I did the car rotates around and, at Lime Rock, you get to see the bridge you've just run under recede into the distance.
As soon as the car rotates past the point of saving it you lock up the brakes to scrub as much speed as possible while still on pavement and then have a few exquisite Time Stands Still seconds as you're, in real time, out of control sliding grass backwards at speed. You're still ok and the car is still ok but that's about to change dramatically due to your mistake and you won't know how much until you feel the impact.
In a simulator you hit reset and continue.
In a race car reality bites!

A terrible way to be sure, but that photo should also stand as validation of your car-building skills. Sad as it is to look at, it seems to have acted exactly the way it should have (in the crash).
Plus, it gives you something to do over the winter...

Exactly. The car is stout and I've been fortunate not to have had any crash damage the past couple of years so I was due. It's just the cost of doing business when you race.
If it had been a Corvette or a Porsche you'd be talking big bucks but a Miata is as light as it gets for crash damage.

Just agreed on a price to purchase this '69 Morris Minor Traveller. It has the larger 1100 engine and sprite conversion front disk brakes. A whimsical purchase. Will throw my gear bag in the back when going to the track and use it to go to dinner on sunny days and occasional car shows.
A great local mechanic has agreed to be my Morris Minor Whisperer and the car brings smiles wherever it goes.
No good reasons to own one and even fewer good reasons not to own one. :-)8 Replies
Looks to be in good shape, Pat. Good luck with it!

That's a first class reason to own it right there Pat. :) Congrats!
It's not to my tastes, but I always enjoy seeing old cars on the road. Looks like that particular model has some rather unique traits. Not often does one see full length glass doors, or a two door wagon for that matter.
Hope you enjoy it and it doesn't give you too many problems.

How do you think the oversteer will be at Lime Rock?
Minimal, as it will only visit the roads to and from Lime Rock and won't go above about 60 mph. :-)
Wow, that is a fantastic find. That will be a lot of fun for sure.
I don't think I've ever seen one before, great find! Driving is more fun when you have very little chance of seeing an identical car at every corner.
Edit - it's amazing what you find on Bring a Trailer. https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1961-morris-minor-1000-traveller/
Wednesday - Time to get the oil changed in the Bullitt, then get some goodies for chicken noodle soup for my gal at the grocer's. That'll keep me busy, mas o menos.
Thursday - Oil's changed and the aroma from my gal's chicken noodle soup was pretty astonishing for a while there. Maybe there'll be leftovers from work when she comes home! Meeting tonight, otherwise pretty quiet hereabouts.
Friday - Dinner with a bunch of friends at P. F. Chang's last night was VERY enjoyable. Good food, good company, good conversation ... you don't beat that with no stick, IMHO.
Got an email from our fraud department at work today. Apparently, they thought my corporate card was compromised. After calling the number they asked me to call, found out that it was, in fact, used without my knowledge. First, to attempt to purchase gas in Indianapolis earlier this week. Then, at a website that I had never heard of. The gas purchase was declined at the POS, the website charged the card $1, then reversed it. No lasting damage was done.
They immediately cancelled my current card, and issued a replacement. It was expedited (fortunately!), so I should have the new one on Tuesday. Until then, however, I'm somewhat dead in the water. I can use a personal card for any expenses and get reimbursed, but it's such a pain in the neck.
I suppose, that on the one hand, it is good that there is this type of security check in place to protect us. On the other, it really sucks.2 Replies

I've gotten the call from a card company 3 times. Got a new card the next day every time.

In the past when this has happened with my card, I didn't even get the benefit of an email. A new card just showed up. Keeping me on my toes I guess?
Have had the joy of card compromise a few time. It's been a while but I wouldn't call 4 days expedited. They couldn't overnight it? Bummer.2 Replies
Time was when if there were an issue with my American Express card, I could go to a local office and get it replaced SAME DAY. Why that isn't the case now with one of the other outfits, I have no idea.
Well, if it wasn't the afternoon on a Friday when this all transpired, I could have had it the following day. So, process on Monday, deliver on Tuesday. Seeing as how they initially told me 7-10 business days, Tuesday is certainly expedited.
Saturday - Sort of a nothing day yesterday, which, considering the condition of my lower back (NOT good) is just fine with me. Today we find out how well the Buckeyes do against Wisconsin, and this evening I get my first listen to the Nielsen 5th Symphony. That'll work.
Went to the dealer to pick up my wife's car for a recall. We want a bigger car as it doesn't make sense to have two two door cars. Don't ask me why we have two two door cars.
The loaner she had was a full optioned based Macan, my wife loved it. But it's too expensive. I'm trying to persuade her into trading her car for a used light option 911. I'll trade my car in for something bigger and less expensive. Will see how that goes in the next few months.2 Replies
I've never had an inter-office romance, but coming to work every day and seeing that long line of Shelbys and fondly remembering the times we had together while knowing they will never happen again is torture. [Doubly so given what's replaced them.]
I don't know which is worse: Having them trucked away to a relatively-certain "retirement" or having them sit there on a semi-permanent basis like the RHD Bullitt we have that's been sitting so long the brake discs rusted and fused to the pads, rendering it inert.
Farewell, GT500s. You will be missed...1 Reply
Sunday - The Rachmaninoff Isle of the Dead was luscious and rich with deep strings. The Liszt 1st Piano Concerto declamatory and potent, and the Nielsen 5th Symphony? Unusual in multiple vectors, not the least of which was the significant participation of a snare drum (???) in the first movement.
Yet another case of THIS is why we listen to live music!
Monday - Back is better, but not the best. COOL outside this AM, around 37°F at the moment. Not sure what's on for today, but I'll figure it out at SOME point...
Found this amusing ...
Motorcyclist Who Identifies As Bicyclist Sets Cycling World Record
I couldn't believe just how terrifying it was to drive this on a windy and stormy night. Then I found this no-windows/interior/comfort features van costs over fifty grand, and decided that you have to really, REALLY need this to deal with all of that...
Tuesday - Today might be the day to mow / mulch. The poplar in the back yard has lost most, though not all its leaves, and the weather is supposed to be at least tolerable. Seems like the right time.
A week or two early but put the snow tires on both cars this week. Temps start to drop below freezing at night next week and when that happens all bets are off. Doing this guarantees no snow until February but if I don't do it we'll get a foot next week.
As a Lime Rock Park employee got a discounted set of Hakkapellitta R3's for the X1. Much quieter than the Firestone winters that came with the car and very high grip ratings for snow and ice. We'll see. :-)1 Reply

It seems that there are two different sleep states on my MacBook:
Sleep State 1:
- Invoked by: closing the lid or by the sleep timer.
- Awaken by: touching the trackpad, clicking the trackpad, pressing a key, or opening the lid.
Sleep State 2:
- Invoked by: Apple Menu > Sleep (or its keyboard shortcut).
- Awaken by:
touching the trackpad,clicking the trackpad, pressing a key, or opening the lid.
You'll notice that the main difference between the two is that in the first one you can simply touch the trackpad and the computer will wake up.
I have two questions:
- Why are there two different sleep states?
- Are there any other differences between them besides the one I mentioned?
I'm not sure if this is relevant or not, but I changed my MacBook's settings to cause Sleep to only Sleep and not the default 'Sleep and Hibernate'.

LCHS speech team does well at regional competition
Send a link to a friend
12, 2014]
The LCHS speech team advanced eight of the 11 regional entries at
the IHSA Individual Events Regional in Belleville on Saturday.
Senior Matthew
Langdon and sophomore Braden Tanner placed second in dramatic duet
acting; sophomores Tanner and Zac McCray placed second in humorous
duet acting; senior Justin Broom placed fourth in both dramatic
interpretation and prose reading; senior Konnor Browne was fourth in
oratorical declamation; senior Joella Vermeire was fourth in poetry
reading; freshman Claire Conrady placed fourth in original comedy;
and senior Bradley Miller was fourth in radio speaking.
Also placing at the regional and becoming alternates to the
sectional competition were freshman Reagen Tibbs, fifth in
extemporaneous speaking; Miller, fifth in original oratory; and
Browne, fifth in informational speaking.
[to top of second column]
"The team had a super showing at regionals," said head coach
Jennifer Keith. "Traveling nearly three hours away to perform is
always a little scary, but the kids did a great job, and we're
hopeful to see great performances again at the sectional level.
"Of course, not having Mrs. (Abby) Curry with us was a hardship,"
Keith continued, "but she had a great reason —
she gave birth to her son Saturday —
and we thought that was good luck for the team."

The construction of the Grosse Pointe High School in 1928 marked an important transition in the history of this area along the shores of Lake St. Clair. Grosse Pointe's move away from its farming community origins began after the Civil War, when wealthy Detroit businessman purchased much of the area's lake-front property for summer homes. By 1900, year-round mansions were rapidly replacing seasonal residences, and a sense of community had begun to form. Reflecting many citizen's growing perception that Grosse Pointe was a real (although economically exclusive) town, the need for a high school became a topic of debate in the 1910s. After a five-year battle with landowners reluctant to have their land condemned, the school district finally began the construction of the area's first public high school in 1927. Many residents saw construction as a symbol that Grosse Pointe had made the transition from resort to town and so were willing to pay for one of the finest public schools buildings in Michigan. Grosse Pointe High School dramatically announces its presence through its Georgian Revival design and a 114 foot-tall clock tower that dominates the facade. The interior is similarly impressive -- the school opened with five libraries, two gyms, an auditorium, and a swimming pool--amenities some thought too luxurious. During the Great Depression, the interior received a beautiful series of WPA-funded murals, and the area's growing population led to additions in the 1940s and 1950s. It became Grosse Pointe High School South in 1967, when the township built another high school, but the building continues to serve the students and town of Grosse Pointe.
The Grosse Pointe High School is located at 11 Grosse Pointe Boulevard in the Detroit suburb of Grosse Pointe, one block north of Jefferson Avenue. Tours of the High School are available by appointment only: call (313)-343-2133, leave a message for the Preservation Club.

Hawaii state Rep. Tom Brower ends shopping cart destruction campain
HONOLULU — A Hawaii legislator says he's putting down the sledgehammer he carried to destroy stolen shopping carts used by homeless people to carry belongings in Waikiki.
Democratic State Rep. Tom Brower tells the Honolulu Star-Advertiser he has made his point and raised the profile of the issue.
He says the question is now whether something will be done to address the eyesores.
Brower earlier this week estimated he smashed up to 30 unmarked shopping carts and returned a half-dozen marked carts to stores.
His actions were strongly criticized by homeless advocates who said smashing carts was disrespectful, possibly illegal and likely to incite violent reaction.
Mental Health America of Hawaii director Marya Grambs says Brower likely ended his cart destruction after a flurry of local and national criticism.

Gluten-Free Diet for Celiac DiseaseSkip to the navigation
Topic Overview
People who have celiac disease must be on a gluten-free diet. Even a small amount of gluten may cause symptoms of bloating, gas, and diarrhea.
The basics of a gluten-free diet include:
- Avoiding all foods that contain wheat, rye, triticale, and barley gluten. Bread, bagels, pasta, pizza, malted breakfast cereals, and crackers are all examples of foods that contain gluten. Although some foods are labeled wheat-free, this doesn't mean that they are gluten-free.
- Avoiding oats, at least initially. Oats may cause symptoms in some people, perhaps as a result of contamination with wheat, barley, or rye during processing. But many people who have celiac disease can eat moderate amounts of oats without having symptoms. Health professionals vary in their long-term recommendations regarding eating foods with oats. But most agree it is best that people newly diagnosed with celiac disease not eat oats until the condition is well controlled with a gluten-free diet. Then, up to 2 oz (50 g) of oats may be eaten daily as long as no new symptoms arise. footnote 1 You should eat only oats known not to be contaminated by wheat, barley, or rye during processing.
- Avoiding all beer products unless they are gluten-free. Beers with and without alcohol, including lagers, ales, and stouts, contain gluten unless the label specifically says they are gluten-free.
- Reading ingredient labels carefully and being aware of types of hidden gluten . Gluten can be in things like medicines, vitamins and other nutritional supplements, lipstick and lip balm, and various food additives. Products whose labels have the phrase "modified food starch" or "hydrolyzed vegetable protein" may contain gluten.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) says that if a food sold in the U.S. is labeled free of gluten, then it must contain less than 20 parts per million (ppm) of gluten.
On a gluten-free diet, you can still have:
- Eggs and dairy products. Some milk products may make your symptoms worse. If you have questions about milk products, ask your doctor. Read ingredient labels carefully. Some processed cheeses contain gluten.
- Flours and foods made with amaranth, arrowroot, beans, buckwheat, corn, cornmeal, flax, millet, pure uncontaminated nut and oat bran, potatoes, quinoa, rice, sorghum, soybeans, tapioca, or teff.
- Fresh, frozen, and canned meats. Read labels for additives that may contain gluten.
- Fresh, frozen, dried, or canned fruits and vegetables if they do not contain thickening agents or other additives containing gluten.
- Certain alcoholic beverages, including wine, liquor (including whiskey and brandy), liqueurs, and ciders.

A winner was selected from 46 designs submitted by 21 freelance designers.
A new website I'm planning on starting up will be selling posters via eBay and an e-commerce store. The site will need a logo, and soon I will make a contest for the website design.
Also, don't be afraid of any negative criticism. If I give any negative criticism, learn from it, fix it, and maybe you can become the winner!
Desired Color Scheme:

Kerta.com is the name of the store. The product that we will be selling is mainly posters, with some calendars and other similar stationary items. The targeted demographic is college kids, so consider that in the design.

"Great cruise"
Sun Princess is a really good ship. Well laid out. Food in the dining room was superb. Could not fault it. Food in the Horizon court buffet was also very good. The wait staff in crooners bar were excellent. Also our stateroom staff Jaysen was great always had a smile on his face. The entertainment was pretty good especially the juggling act. Embarkation and disembarkation went pretty smoothly except my husbands case did not get delivered to our stateroom. By 4.30pm I phoned service desk to enquire where it was. After half an hour I phoned again. Still no case. I went down to the service desk and saw his case sitting next to a wall near the service desk. I went and picked it up and took it myself up to our stateroom. I was not impressed. There was no follow up by the service desk to check if we got our case. This was probably the only negative comment. We had the noravirus on board and the staff handled this really well. The captain kept us up to date on a regular basis. I think that Princess cruise ships should adopt the same policy as P & O cruise line in that passengers are served by staff members in the buffet restaurant. Unfortunately when passengers are allowed to handle food there is always a high risk of having these outbreaks.Read more

"A Room with a View"
I was thrilled with my balcony stateroom, first time I have had a balcony since becoming a single passenger, the price was amazing so I was able to justify paying it' As usual on Princess attendants were very attentive and couldn't do enough for you they made you feel like you were very special.I travelled to Hawaii in 2015 on the Sun Princess and I was amazed at the changes in one year Super Duper Beds, Extra Fast Internet, Easy Availability of Movies on TV, Pizzaria gone and Curtis Stone restaurant in it's place , very upmarket, New Sports Bar Legends taking place of Disco which was always joke on ship in past because it was always empty, Legends had times when it was jampacked because they were streaming the Grand Finals of all Codes so there were some very happy people getting there sports fix, the Sushi bar was now a Seafood bar so their menu was more varied and last but not least was HAPPY HOUR in Windjammer never been on ship with happy hour before. The only negative thing i found was Entertainment was not up to usual standard in some cases showing same show in Theatre and VIsta Lounge at same time by streaming show into Vista and also the varieties not as good as in pastRead more
