Fitz-Thors visited the The University of Alabama's campus in Tuscaloosa for this fall's "Coming in Clutch" sponsor social, which celebrated the UA EcoCAR 3 Team's fourth competition year and its contributors who make the project possible.
EcoCAR 3 is an advanced vehicle technology competition that gives 16 collegiate teams four years to turn a Chevrolet Camaro into the ultimate energy efficient, high-performance vehicle. Fitz-Thors' support of EcoCAR 3 reinforces its commitment to supporting higher education, expanding experiential learning programs and providing resources for the next generation of automotive leaders.
"The EcoCAR 3 students at UA represent the next generation of automotive professionals, who are the foundation of innovative transportation solutions in the US," Arnar Thors explained. "Our company is proud to support these men and women who are taking charge as true leaders in communications and S.T.E.M. path careers."
The sponsor social began the afternoon of Nov. 17 with a tour of the College of Communication and Information Sciences, followed by lunch and a project status update. Attendees then toured the EcoCAR 3 garage and had the chance to take their first ride in the team's plug-in hybrid-electric Camaro. Fitz-Thors was able to see where its contributions were being put into effect, as well as ask questions about the team's student-designed vehicle architecture and technical specifications.
EcoCAR 3 provides hands-on training and experience to Alabama students that is equivalent to three-to-five years of industry employment. Over the past three years, 94 percent of the team's 69 graduates have found full-time employment, and 75 percent of team members secured a co-op or internship while on the team.
"EcoCAR has been an incredible learning experience during my undergraduate and graduate years at UA," said Josh Stoddard, the engineering manager. "It's opened so many doors for my future career, and I'm so thankful for the program and everyone who contributes to it."
Not only is EcoCAR 3 helping Alabama seed the automotive industry with talented professionals, but it is also educating Alabama citizens about the importance of sustainable engineering and S.T.E.M. education. Through community outreach programs and social media platforms, UA EcoCAR 3 has educated over 9,000 Alabama citizens on sustainable practices that will maintain Alabama's natural beauty for future generations. Multiple youth outreach programs, like UA's summer diversity program and EcoScholars program for middle school students, have informed students about the importance and accessibility of S.T.E.M. education and careers.
"EcoCAR 3 not only educates our students and citizens, but it also impacts our students by creating a community of camaraderie and teaching that is irreplaceable during their time at The University of Alabama," EcoCAR 3 faculty advisor, Dr. Paul Puzinauskas, said.

Officials predict 2.7 percent cut in La. worker's comp rates
BATON ROUGE - State officials say workers' compensation insurance rates in Louisiana are likely to drop next year by 2.7 percent.
The Department of Insurance and the Louisiana Workforce Commission say the cut was recommended by the National Council on Compensation Insurance. It is expected to take effect May 1 - pending final approval from Department of Insurance officials.
Insurance Commissioner Jim Donelon's office says most Louisiana workers' compensation insurance carriers use the NCCI's annual cost filing to formulate rates.
Officials attribute the decrease to a competitive market, the implementation of guidelines to improve treatment and to the fact that workplaces are reporting fewer and less severe injuries.
Donelon's office said the 2016 reduction will mark an overall drop in workers' compensation rates of 38 percent since 2006 and 51 percent since 1996.

Robert Friedrich Schelling III
After visiting with family, Robert "Bob" Freidrich Schelling III, of North Hatley, Quebec, passed away peacefully at age 89 on March 5, 2017 at the Centre hospitalier de Magog.
Born May 20, 1927 in Buffalo, New York, the second of two children to Robert F. II and Louisa (Woodard) Schelling, young "Bobby" grew up in East Aurora, New York before attending Saint Andrew's School in Middletown, Delaware, where he distinguished himself as a member of the rowing crew. Like many of his classmates, he was allowed to early and defer his university admittance in order to enlist at the tail end of World War II. He joined the U.S. Navy (1945-1946) and served on the USS Tarawa, where, as Quartermaster, he helmed that first aircraft carrier through the Panama Canal.
After his tour of duty, he attended Princeton University, working summers for the New York State Coast Guard to pay his tuition fees. A member of both the Princeton Tigers football team and rowing crew, he graduated Class of 1950 with an A.B. Degree in International Affairs.
In 1955, he was elected a Republican delegate for Chatham County, New Jersey, but moved to Toronto the following year. He relocated to Montreal in 1967, became a Canadian citizen in 1969, and married for the second time in 1970.
A marketing executive for several multinationals throughout his career (Proctor & Gamble, Unilever), he also taught in the M.B.A. program at Montreal's McGill University and was a Trustee of Quebec's only fully bilingual elementary school when it was threatened with conversion to French-only education by the separatist government of the day. It remains open and bilingual to this day.
In retirement, he moved to La Vieille Ferme, his beloved mountainside property outside the town of North Hatley in the Eastern Townships, where his hobbies included winemaking, gardening, preserving and cooking.
An active member of the local community, he served as volunteer Director and President of Festival Lennoxville (1978-1982), transforming the annual summer theatre festival at Bishop's University into a bilingual series. A longtime member of the North Hatley Club, he was especially active in his later years as President of the North Hatley Library. The Massawippi Valley Princeton Club, which he founded in 1985 for alumni living in the Eastern Townships and greater Quebec, will mark its 33rd annual reunion this summer.
He is survived by his wife, Sylvie, and three children: Melissa, Timothy "Tym" and Stéphane "Steven."
In accordance with his wishes, Bob's ashes will be spread at La Vieille Ferme in a private family ceremony. A memorial service and celebration of life will be held in North Hatley at a later date: summer 2017.
In lieu of flowers, memorials in Bob's name may be made to Saint Andrew's School or to the North Hatley Public Library.

People are fascinated with prophecy, and we will take it any way we can get it. Anything from crystal balls to Tarot cards, palm readings, horoscopes, fortune cookies, and of course, psychic hotlines. This is not just a modern day attraction. We have searched for help into the unknown ever since there has been an unknown. The Bible tells about Simon the Sorcerer, Balaam - the prophet for hire, and even king Saul sought the aid of a medium to bring back Samuel. I get the appeal, knowing the future means power. I am guessing we all have given a thought or two about what we would do with guaranteed information about the future. Knowing the future would give us an advantage over others. We would be a step ahead, have a leg up on the competition, whatever you want to call it. We believe that if we knew something about the future it would help us. I agree. That's why God has told us everything we need to know about the future so that we can be better off. Do you know what the Bible calls being "Better off"? Blessed, when the Bible calls someone blessed it is saying they are better off than not being blessed. God has told us what is coming so that we can be blessed.
God tells us the future through prophecy. Although He has given us many prophecies, some already completed and some still to come, the one at the very end is most important. The Bible tells us we are all going to die (we might have figured that one out on our own), and then the judgment (that's the one we needed). God has told us about this pending judgment coming for all. Why? You got it, so we can be blessed, and prepared. How do we prepare? I suggest a good lawyer, no, a great lawyer, no, the Best lawyer! Don't worry, God has already provided Him for you. The Bible says when we choose Jesus for our counselor then we will be blessed at our judgment. The sad thing is, not everyone sees Jesus as their counselor. They don't believe He is fighting for them, and they certainly do not believe that His life, death and the way He earned His position as our representative was thoroughly prophesied. And the prophesies are not yet completed. They say He's coming back. I truly pray we all believe this prophecy, are prepared for it and understand the blessing in it.

Bond Bug. It looked like a giant go-kart and was designed to be a fun car. Its striking appearance gave it a place in popular culture, with designer Tom Karen using a Bond Bug chassis to create Luke Skywalker's landspeeder in Star Wars.
Bond Cars Ltd were bought out by the Reliant Motor Company in 1970 and the company commissioned Tom Karen to create an exciting new car. Chief Engineer John Crosthwaite designed a special chassis and it was combined with Reliant Regal components. The original concept was based on a stripped down Regal vehicle.
Moving forward, the Bond Bug was fitted with a front-mounted 700 cc Reliant engine developed from the Austin 7. The only non-Regal part was the coil spring suspension at the rear of the car. The Bug had a fibreglass body, wedge shape, lift-up canopy and side screens instead of regular doors. It could reach a top speed of 76 mph. The most famous colour for the Bug was bright orange, though a few white Bugs were produced as well.
Different versions
The car proved to be popular and a Corgi Toys version was crafted. Marketed as being fun to drive, the Bug made the most of its unusual appearance. It was a lot faster than people expected it to be. For example, a high-performance vehicle like the Lotus Seven could also reach a speed of 76 mph.
Three versions of the Bug existed: the 700, 700E and 700ES. The 700 was the standard model, while the 700E and 700ES were deluxe. The 700E came with a telescopic canopy damper and heater, while the 700ES was powered by a higher compression engine.
The Bug cost £629, but it wasn't any cheaper than a practical car like the 850 cc Mini, which cost £620. A knock-down kit version was available for a cheaper price, partially due to tax treatment.
The Bug only had a short run of four years, lasting from 1970 to 1974. However, it still has a dedicated following.

Today is the day I've awaited since April. This is it.
This is the day Coyote goes to school, for three WHOLE hours! The house is mine. I have not had more than 15 collective hours alone since April. We've done some fun stuff and enclosed are photos of the last two weeks. But I have been feeling just a tad sorry for myself. Boo hoo.
This moment required extra finagling, but we are here. Huck has the day off, but I even wanted him gone. Although, to his credit, he does not wine, does not sit on my lap while I type, does not need me to wipe his bottom, and can reach the faucet himself, I still wanted him gone.
You may, along with countless others, also wonder what it is we stay-at-home moms do all day. We are wondering that ourselves. Days go by and we have NO idea where they went or what happened during them. But the house is still a mess and the kids are never done. If I wake up early to do something alone, my kids will wake up even earlier. I was once told that REAL moms wake up at 5. Real bitchy moms. Anyway, if I woke up at 5, my kids would wake up at 5:05am. NOTHING gained. The other thing about kids: they know when you're absorbed. You could aimlessly peruse the internet free from interruptions, but sit to write a note of condolences, or anything requiring your full attention, and they're on you! So your day consists of refusing to be absorbed by anything and constant interruptions. It's hard to have meaningful thoughts, conversations, meditations, or completions under these circumstances. For those of us who previously relished our echoing deep thoughts, this is a source of pain and suffering.
To hear me talk about kids, you'd think I'd have at least 20. But kids are like that new FeelReal tm temperature report: actual kids:2, feels like: 20. It's just that these skills don't seem to come naturally to me and every event first bewilders me, then requires research, and then I make the most difficult but loftiest choice in how to handle it. I make it hard. Especially not having a TV.
Recently, on a hot afternoon, I noticed that I was feeling momentarily like a depressed and bored homemaker. And so I asked my self, "Now that you've correctly classified these last few minutes, Sassy Sarajoy, what do depressed and bored homemakers do?" And a cloud opened above my head and a chorus of angels sang out "GIN AND TONIC!" Even though I knew it was the first step towards my birth-rite of overwhelmed-mother alcoholism (NOT my mom, but previous matriarchs in my line have retired to "pray" in their rooms every afternoon), I popped open the local Dry Fly gin. Good habits aren't made by just one doing, and neither are bad habits, right? Cleaning the kitchen was a nice, new sensation, and I didn't mind being interrupted for a game of Uno. It thoroughly defunked my vibe.
I've identified at least 35 different necessary alone times, like some mad-stay-at-home-scientist. These are the essential categories:
bill paying
music absorbing
bike riding
garden planning
zoning out
technology figuring out
treasure hunting
I believe this is a complete, unabridged list. I've done these with children crawling on me, but it's not as effective. Ever do the downward dog with children climbing up your legs? How 'bout some meditation with fisty-cuffs exploding in the next room? Ever try to zone out with your kids saying things like, "Mom? What are you looking at? Why do you always do that?"
So here it is: MY BIG DAY! I began by cleaning the kitchen, staining the porch, and doing laundry and then I thought: WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM, WOMAN?! (I use woman here as a swear word). And so I promptly dove into the bubble bath and ate a huge tray of Capri Salad. And now here I am, squandering my luscious time on the internet. And I feel fine.
Except for one thing. Today is the birthday of my friend/former boss' daughter. She would have been maybe 30.
Not long before I met him, they were scuba diving on Orcas Island. And his daughter died that day, her mother's birthday, under the water off Rosario.
I was visiting my parents on Orcas, with my baby Blue. My mother returned from work, gray and tired. It had been a terrible day at the clinic and she related the story of a girl my sister's age and her untimely death.
Imagine our shock after my first week of work for B when I told him where my parents lived and he turn gray. And told me what happened. And I remembered the day perfectly. We had all sat in silence that night and I never forgot the first death of a child I heard of after I became a mother.
I've gone to the site. My family joined me once, at the spot, and we thought of her, on behalf of B who will likely never return to the San Juans. We dropped flowers into that deep, dark ocean.
And so he sends me this email today to remind me to hug my kids, on his daughter's Birthday, to hug them extra. But they're at school now.
Death is such a downer.

Pencil, 50 cents
My family and I went to stay at a house at the beach recently, and when we got there we realised there wasn't a pencil to be found and that we hadn't brought one with us. This was a problem as my boyfriend was halfway through a sudoku puzzle, so the first thing we did was visit a local op shop to buy one. We found a pencil easily enough, but we also found a few interesting books to buy, and this made the pencil redundant because it soon became clear that the only reason he was doing a sudoku puzzle in the first place was because he was between books.

Get To Know: Sukhi Rugs
In planning and dreaming for our new home one of the things that I think about way too much is rugs. I have serious love for the hardwood floors in our new place but for certain areas, a rug serves not only practically to warm the place up, but also serves as a art piece. We were sent an area rug by the team at felt ball rugs and I was really blown away by the amount of craftmanship and detail that go into each piece. Sukhi (formerly Felt Ball Rug) is based out of Nepal, where workers are paid fair wages and work in good conditions and make each rug step by step from start to finish. Mothers with young children are even give the option to work from home, which is just fabulous.
Watching this video was really neat because it reinforces just how powerful the fair trade movement is. Nepal is one of the poorest countries in the world, with 1/4 of the population living below the poverty line. As harsh as this is, to be a woman in Nepal is even harder. Only 41% of women are literate, as opposed to 71% of men, because girls do have have access, and in some cases, the right, to attend school. The majority (well over 50%) of women experience domestic violence and estimates suggest that over 7,000 women are trafficked out of Nepal every year. Every year. The thought that something we buy here can help a mom somewhere else provide for her family with dignity is so unique to this way of shopping. Who knew that shopping could be powerful.
The average rug is comprised of three to five THOUSAND balls. After each ball is hand-dyed and hand rolled they are intricately sewn together to the buyers specifications. Additionally each rug can be customized so you can pick colors (and they have a ton of colors to choose from) that go perfectly with your decor. Considering how much work goes into making each rug and the fact that these rugs are 100% customizable in size, color and shape, these rugs are so reasonably priced as compared to other rugs, including rugs that aren't made ethically.
I don't feel that photos can quite do justice to how beautiful these rugs are in real life but you can view the gallery to get an idea of how gorgeous they can be in your home. I think one of their round rugs would be unbearably cute in a kids room and can also be a great place to add color and warmth to a living area. Please consider this wonderful company when planning your next rug purchase!

How To Select The Right Credit Card
Selecting a credit card isnt easy because each and every credit card is distinct. Some have larger interest charges, but other folks could provide much better benefits. Its not as effortless as going to a credit company and taking their card. Just before you choose which card to use, you should devote time browsing via different firms for the finest credit score card for you. There are several essential elements for you to evaluation prior to choosing your card.
The Credit score Restrict
Its essential to take note of the credit score limits just before you get a credit score card. A credit restrict is a limit imposed on your getting potential with a card. You cant buy more than the credit score restrict. Credit cards have various credit limits, and its greater to choose one thats reduced. A reduce credit limit stops you from overspending. This can be especially helpful when youre just commencing to use credit cards. After you learn how to use credit cards correctly, you can commence applying for cards with larger credit limits.
Grace Period
The grace period is a period of time following the due date in which you are allowed to spend your stability without having incurring any extra expenses. If you do pay out immediately after the grace period, then late fees will be charged. A credit card with a lengthier grace period is much better as it offers you far more time to pay out.
Interest Rates
The interest fee is the amount you pay for the privilege of borrowing cash. Interest usually kicks in after the due date. The interest price is the most critical element when choosing for a credit card. The rule is to choose a credit score card that has a reduced interest fee. Even modest variations in the interest charge can lead to a enormous variation in the actual quantity of income you would be spending.
Most credit cards supply rewards that can vary from cash back options to rebates on gasoline. If used properly, credit score cards can be far better than money simply because of these rewards.
Why Are You Acquiring a Credit Card?
The 1st factor you have to think about when receiving a credit score card is the reason you are undertaking so. By figuring out your reason, you could get a credit card that would fit you. Why do you need a credit card? Are you going to use it for your everyday bills, just like money? Or are you preparing to go into a small debt now and then? Do you require the benefits? Right here are a handful of suggestions on what card you should get depending on your purpose for having a credit score card:
– If youre employing the card for everyday expenditures, get a card with a extended grace period.
– If you strategy to go into a small debt, select a card with lower interest prices.
– If you do prepare to shell out the balance each and every month, get a card with income back promos.
– If you travel by plane a lot, seem for one that provides you further regular flyer miles.
– If you travel by car a whole lot, search for 1 that provides you rebates at gas stations.
– If you strategy on purchasing on the web, decide on a card that has good safety policies towards fraud.
Picking a credit card calls for a good deal of investigation. Go through all the terms that every single company gives just before generating up your mind. As soon as you get your card, use it effectively. Even the greatest card would end up as a liability when utilized unwisely.

These two were troopers - you'd never know that it was about 90 degrees out! We strolled around the town before heading out on the pier that stretches out over the lake, where we caught a stunning sunset! It was perfect! Can't wait for their wedding next June!

Halloween at Manchester Science Festival
Manchester Science Festival takes place across Greater Manchester from Thursday 19th - Sunday 29th October and there are several events with a Halloween theme this year.
If you're intrigued by spiders webs, Tape might be the thing for you. Award-winning artists Numen/For Use have transformed the 1830 Warehouse into a giant spider's web made from sticky tape. Using layers of sticky tape and plastic similar to cling-film, you can clamber into the rafters by climbing up a web suspended between ceiling and floor. Inspired by the incredible engineering properties of spider silk, you'll get an arachnid's-eye view of the webbed world according to our eight-legged friends.
Find it at the Museum of Science and Industry on Liverpool Road from 19-29 October. It's open 10am-9pm and the best bit - it's free!
Big Fish Little Fish (pictured above) is a family-friendly rave suitable for all ages. You'll find Mark XTC on the decks with bubbles, glitter cannons, giant balloons, crafting and playdough tables, a baby chill area and licensed bar, amongst many other things. Themed around 'spooky science', fancy dress is thoroughly encouraged. There'll also be activities from the guys at Chester Zoo, live science experiments and much more.
This event is open to all ages, though activities will be mostly suited to families 0 – 8. It's taking place on Sunday 29 October 2017, 2pm - 4:30pm at The Birdcage, Withy Grove, with tickets at £8.50 / £6.50 (concessions available, free for pre-walking babies).
Finally, Robots features a terrifying Terminator and a creepy robot baby - it's an exhibition that features more than 100 robots – from the frightening to the friendly. Get close to a unique collection of robots, from a 17th century dancing wine goblet (YES!) and an animatronic baby, to Maria from 1927 film classic Metropolis and a news-reading android from Japan.
It's running from Thursday 19 October-Sunday 15 April, 10am-5pm, and you'll find it at the Museum of Science and Industry, Liverpool Road. Tickets are £8/£5 concessions, and it's free for children aged 6 and under.

Re: High-speed rail plan is flawed, Opinion June 2
High-speed rail plan is flawed, Opinion June 2
Thanks for publishing the excellent commentary by transport expert Greg Gormick on Ontario Transportation Minister Glen Murray's plan for a high-speed rail line between Toronto and London. I do like the concept of high-speed rail; I have ridden such trains in Europe. I one day hope to ride high speed trains to Ottawa and Montreal.
But Mr. Gormick is correct when he claims that the high-speed rail plan is out of sync with reality. We have yet to see adequate GO train service to Brampton, never mind Guelph or Kitchener. It's very difficult right now to travel between Kitchener-Waterloo and Guelph without a car, despite their proximity (only 25 kilometres apart), their large populations, and their shared four major post-secondary education institutions. And trains operating through central Guelph are restricted to a very frustrating speed of 10 m.p.h.
There are simple fixes and service improvements that could be implemented quickly. The provincial government has proposed for many years a new freeway between Guelph and Kitchener to relieve an inadequate and congested two-lane Highway 7 that connects the two bustling centres.
The obvious solution would be to simply widen the existing highway to four lanes and provide adequate transit (be it frequent buses or trains) along the corridor. Instead, the government chooses to overbuild and ignore the very real needs of the here and now.

Dateline 2016-05-18, Reuters:
Malaysia's Petroliam Nasional Bhd warned that lower oil prices will continue to hurt its earnings on Wednesday after its first quarter profit fell by 60 percent.
The state-owned company has been hit hard by a tumble in oil prices that has forced it to slash costs and reduce dividends to the government. It detailed plans this year to cut spending by up to 50 billion ringgit ($12 billion) over the next four years.
"Concerns on moderate demand outlook and persistent oversupply will continue to pressure crude oil prices," Petronas said. "Petronas expects performance to be affected by the volatility of oil prices and foreign exchange rate."

There has never been, and likely will never be, another movie like The Big Lebowski-- a comedy homage to the film noir set in the early '90s. Instead of a wise-cracking detective, however, the protagonist was a bumbling burnout stoner who ventured out of the house in his bathrobe.
Making the movie even more unique, the writer/director tandem The Coen Brothers added in several Busby Berkeley musical numbers, a foray into the adult film industry, parodies of the art world, a heavy dose of league bowling, and a ferret.
The cult classic movie is a staple of the midnight movie circuit. It has its own annual conventions for fans called Lebowski Fest and The Dude Abides. It is a critically beloved movie, and has a classic soundtrack of classic rock staples.
Released in 1998, there has been a significant amount of time for the actors in The Big Lebowski to either rise up, fall from grace, further cement their legacies, or (in some unfortunate cases) pass away. With that in mind, we will now take a look at Where Are They Now: The Cast Of The Big Lebowski.
18 John Goodman
John Goodman had been one of the more recognizable actors coming into the filming of The Big Lebowski. Having acted since 1983, he was already a Coen Brothers regular (Raising Arizona, Barton Fink, The Hudsucker Proxy).
He had also already played both Fred Flintstone and Babe Ruth, and was one of the most famous actors on TV for his portrayal of Dan in Roseanne. In The Big Lebowski he played Walter Sobchak-- a Vietnam vet with a penchant for overreacting, who imposes himself into the many adventures of The Dude.
Goodman has continued acting in high profile movies and shows since 1998. Most famously, he provides the voice for Sully in the Monsters, Inc. series. He also went on to work with the Coen Brothers in O Brother, Where Art Thou? and Inside Llewyn Davis.
He has provided voice work in the upcoming Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets and Transformers: The Last Knight. Goodman is also slated to reprise his role of Dan in a returning Roseanne.
17 Aimee Mann
People often forget that Aimee Mann was in The Big Lebowski. She had a very small role in the film, credited only as "Nihilist Woman." Mann was primarily a musician before and after Lebowski. In fact, she only has 10 acting credits on her IMDB page-- many of them from very small roles.
Originally famous for being in the New Wave band 'Til Tuesday, she went on to perform as a solo artist in the early '90s.
Since Lebowski she has continued both acting and recording music. She has released 7 albums since the movie, making the Billboard charts with her 2008 album @#%&*! Smilers. Mann was nominated for both an Oscar and a Grammy for her song "Save Me" for the movie Magnolia.
She appeared in and performed on Buffy the Vampire Slayer in 2002. She voiced the character Opal for an episode of the cartoon Steven Universe. Mann also played herself in a very funny performance in Portlandia. Her most recent album came out this year, and is called Mental Illness.
16 Steve Buscemi
Steve Buscemi's acting career dates back to 1985 in a movie called The Way It Is. By the time of Lebowski, he'd already had several memorable performances from playing Mr. Pink in Reservoir Dogs, Garland Greene in Con Air, and Rex in the heavy metal cult comedy Airheads.
He was also no stranger to working with the Coen Brothers, having already performed in Miller's Crossing, Barton Fink, The Hudsucker Proxy, and Fargo. In Lebowski, he played the lovable punching bag Theodore Donald Kerabatsos (or Donnie, to his friends).
Buscemi has had a number of memorable roles since 1998. He played Seymour in cult classic Ghost World, he voiced the antagonist Randall Boggs in Monsters, Inc, and he was Tony Blundetto in 14 episodes of The Sopranos.
He also played private detective Lenny Wosniak on 30 Rock. In perhaps his defining role, he starred as Nucky Thompson in the HBO series Boardwalk Empire. In addition to acting, Buscemi has directed a number of TV shows including Oz, The Sopranos, Nurse Jackie, 30 Rock, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, and Portlandia.
15 Sam Elliott
With nearly 100 acting credits to his name, chances are you instantly recognize Sam Elliott by his distinctive look, mustache, and voice, even if you don't know his name. Sam Elliott got his feature film start with a bit role in the 1969's Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, and his perfect fit into Westerns has stuck ever since.
In The Big Lebowski Elliott played The Stranger-- a mystical and mysterious cowboy figure who acts as the narrator, speaking directly to the audience as well as interacting with The Dude.
He is probably best remembered for playing Virgil Earp in 1993's Tombstone. He was also on the cover of Playgirl in 1979 with his wife Katharine Ross, being billed as "Hollywood's Sexiest Couple."
Since Lebowski, Elliott has taken on a number of projects. He has acted in two marvel movies: 2003's Hulk and 2007's Ghost Rider. He also had a three episode stint on Parks and Recreation. He is the star of the Netflix's original series The Ranch, as well as the voice of the Coors beer commercials.
14 Asia Carrera
Actress Asia Carrera (born Jessica Steinhauser) had a very, very small, but appropriate role in The Big Lebowski. She appeared opposite Bunny La Joya (Bunny Lebowski) and Karl Hungus (Uli Kunkel) in the adult video shown in the movie, called Logjammin'. Asia was, in fact, a famous adult actress. The Big Lebowski is her only real mainstream credit outside of documentaries about the adult industry.
Carrera retired from adult films in 2003, and has been honored both as AVN Performer of the Year and as a member of the AVN Hall of Fame. On leaving the industry, she married nutrition/health writer Don Lemmon, who passed away in an automobile accident in 2006.
In 2014, Carrera (going by Asia Lemmon) became one of just a handful of people photographed for their driver's license wearing a colander on their head as part of the Pastafarian "religious" movement. The actress has also battled alcoholism and was arrested on a DUI in 2015. Additionally, Carrera is a member of Mensa International.
13 David Thewlis
David Thewlis played a very memorable, if small, role in The Big Lebowski as Knox Harrington. As a friend of Maude Lebowski's, Harrington is a video artist with a shaved head, a pencil mustache, and an obnoxious, weasley laugh. He does not play a vital role in the movie, but his scenes are among the funniest in the film.
Over the years he has won several awards for his acting, including Best Actor at the Cannes Film Festival for Naked in 1993.
He was also nominated for a Golden Raspberry for Worst Supporting Actor for his role in 2006's Basic Instinct 2. Thewlis has stayed extremely busy since playing Harrington. He has done voice work for the videogame World of Warcraft (as Darius Crowley) and Family Guy.
He was Michael Stone in Anomalisa. He plays V.A. Varga in the FX series Fargo. He is perhaps best known, however, for playing Remus Lupin in the Harry Potter movies. Most recently, he can be seen playing Sir Patrick in 2017's Wonder Woman.
12 Jon Polito
Jon Polito was a veteran character actor who has amassed over 200 acting credits between movies and television. In The Big Lebowski, he played Da Fino, the private detective who was caught snooping by The Dude.
Many of his most memorable roles came as part of the ensemble casts of Coen Brothers movies, as he appeared in Miller's Crossing, Barton Fink, The Hudsucker Proxy, and The Man Who Wasn't There in addition to The Big Lebowski.
He provided voice work for Batman Beyond, Avatar: The Last Airbender, the Thundercats reboot, Ultimate Spider-Man, and the Arkham video game series. He also had a string of appearances on TV shows ranging from The Gilmore Girls to Masters of Horror to It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia.
His last big film role was as Banducci in Tim Burton's Big Eyes. Jon Polito passed away in September 2016 from cancer.
11 Torsten Voges
A the least recognizable of the three Nihilists (his character's name is Franz, although they don't really say it in the film), Torsten Voges is no less funny than the rest. He lent an air of authenticity to the villainous Kraftwerk-esque band, as he actually is a German actor.
He is not exactly a prolific actor, and has just over 40 credits to his name. He got his start in the 1978 German film Moritz, lieber Moritz.
Since 1998's The Big Lebowski, Voges' acting roles have been sporadic. He played Fidel in 9 episodes of the show Eastwick. He played Dr. Lars in the Judd Apatow movie Funny People. He has also voiced German soldiers in a number of video games, including Call of Duty: World at War and Wolfenstein: The New Order.
Additionally, Voges appeared in the two most recent Rob Zombie movies: Lords of Salem and 31. His most recent performance was playing The Leader in an episode of Grimm.
10 Peter Stormare
Although The Big Lebowski casts that thick accent as being German, actor Peter Stormare is actually from Sweden. As another one of those actors you have undoubtedly seen dozens of times (thanks to his nearly 200 credits), Stormare has played a number of types of roles.
He is also a Shakespearean actor, and former Associate Director of the Tokyo Globe Theater. In The Big Lebowski he plays Uli Kunkel, a German Nihilist and member of a Kraftwerk-esque band called Autobahn. The character also appeared in adult films as Karl Hungus. Prior to Lebowski, Stormare also appeared in the Coen Brothers' Fargo.
Stormare has continued acting in a number of movies and shows since Lebowski. He has provided voices for Adventure Time, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and Transformers. He has also voiced Dracula and Mister Freeze, and has done voices for the video games Quake 4 and Destiny.
He also founded a record label called Stormvox, and released music with a band called Blonde from Fargo. He can currently be seen as Russian god Czernoborg in American Gods.
9 Flea
Rounding out the trio of Nihilists is the rocker, Flea (born Michael Peter Balzary). Best known as the virtuosic bassist for the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Flea had a fairly significant acting resume even before The Big Lebowski.
His first credited role came as Razzle in the cult classic punk rock drama Suburbia in 1983. He then notably played Needles in Back to the Future II & III, and Budd in My Own Private Idaho. As well as his memorable role in Lebowski, 1998 also saw him appearing in the Psycho remake and Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.
Since that time, he found a very long-tenured voice job playing Donnie Thornberry in The Wild Thornberrys (show and movie). He also is slated to appear in the upcoming Baby Driver.
As far as music goes, he has recorded several multi-platinum albums with the Chili Peppers. He also started Atoms for Peace with Thom Yorke of Radiohead. He co-founded the Silverlake Conservatory of Music. As an avid sports fan, he has also written articles about the Lakers.
8 Tara Reid
While her screen time was limited, Tara Reid had an important role in The Big Lebowski as the walking, talking MacGuffin Bunny Lebowski (aka Bunny La Joya aka Dawn Knudsen). Reid had been acting in commercials and had a few other credits by the time Lebowski rolled around (including a 5 episode stint on Days of Our Lives). In 1998 she also appeared as Sasha in the slasher film Urban Legend.
Following Lebowski Reid had several high-profile roles and was, for lack of a better term, a star. She appeared in Cruel Intentions, the American Pie series, Van Wilder, and Josie and the Pussycats. She later had a recurring role on Scrubs.
She became a target of the tabloid press following broken engagements to Carson Day and an internet entrepreneur named Michael Axtmann. She also famously was the victim of "failed" plastic surgeries.
Reid has also had battles with substance abuse. However, she has managed to turn things around and carve a niche for herself, starring in the Sharknado TV movies and a series of celebrity reality shows.
7 Jerry Haleva
One of the more interesting stories behind The Big Lebowski cast is the tale of Jerry Haleva. If you haven't heard his name before, you're not alone. Haleva portrayed Saddam Hussein in The Dude's dream sequence. While he only has a few seconds of screentime, the role is very well-remembered by fans of the movie.
Unlike the other actors on this list, Haleva is not a career actor. He was working on a California senator's staff when a photo of Hussein circulated with a caption that implied Haleva strongly resembled the Iraqi dictator. As Hussein became an integral part of current events, Haleva found a fair bit of work just for looking like Saddam.
He has a total of six acting credits, and every single one of them is as Saddam Hussein (including in the Hot Shots movies). He appeared in just three movies after Lebowski. Haleva is currently working as president of Sergeant Major Associates.
6 John Turturro
John Turturro is known as something of an actor's actor. Turturro got his start in an uncredited role in 1980's Raging Bull, and has appeared in several well-remembered movies over the years including To Live and Die in L.A., The Color of Money, and Do the Right Thing.
Turturro is a frequent actor in the movies of Spike Lee. By the time The Big Lebowski came around he had also worked with the Coen Brothers in Barton Fink (playing the title character) and Miller's Crossing. Turturro's role in The Big Lebowski is one of the most memorable-- he plays the bowling league nemesis and bowling ball-groper Jesus Quintana.
In 1998 Turturro also played Joey Knish in Rounders. Turturro, in addition to acting, is also a writer and director (most recently of Fading Gigolo). He co-starred in the Coen Brothers' O Brother, Where Art Thou? in 2000. He went on to win an Emmy as Ambrose Monk in Monk.
Interestingly, his next directorial effort will be a spin-off of The Big Lebowski called Going Places. It will focus on Turturro's character, Jesus.
5 David Huddleston
David Huddleston started acting in 1960 on the television show Shotgun Slade. He appeared in 1974's Blazing Saddles and played Santa Claus in the 1985 movie Santa Claus: The Movie. A true character actor, he appeared in over a dozen famous TV shows from Mary Tyler Moore and Gunsmoke, to The Wonder Years and Star Trek: The Next Generation, before appearing in The Big Lebowski. It was his only collaboration with the Coen Brothers.
Following the movie, he continued working as a character actor and appeared in shows such as Gilmore Girls, The West Wing, and It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. He also lent his voice to a couple of episodes of The Wild Thornberrys and appeared in the film adaptation of the play, The Producers.
He passed away in 2016 at the age of 85.
4 Philip Seymour Hoffman
Philip Seymour Hoffman, while nowhere near the household name he would become, had already had his breakout role just prior to The Big Lebowski-- when he played Scotty J. in Paul Thomas Anderson's Boogie Nights.
He had also appeared in Twister the year before, and had been acting sporadically in movies and shows, dating back to an appearance on Law & Order in 1991. One of his best years was 1998, however. He played the uptight toady Brandt in Lebowski and had a very memorable role in Happiness.
Just after Lebowski, Hoffman went on a tear that included a co-starring role in Flawless, Magnolia, The Talented Mr. Ripley, Almost Famous, and more. In 2005, he won an Oscar for Best Actor for Capote.
He received nominations for Best Supporting Actor for Charlie Wilson's War, Doubt, and The Master. In 2014 he died unexpectedly from an overdose at age 46. His last film appearance, posthumously, was as Plutarch Heavensbee in the final Hunger Games movie.
3 Mark Pellegrino
This goon has done quite well for himself. Mark Pellegrino, known in the movie as "Blond Treehorn Thug," is perhaps the biggest example of an unknown making it big. All the other actors that have had some sort of name recognition over the years weren't as completely unknown prior to filming The Big Lebowski.
While he had been acting since his role as a punk in L.A. Law in 1987, Pellegrino hadn't exactly been on anyone's radar. His portrayal of a dumb adult film actor-turned-goon, however, immediately set the funny and tense tone of the entire of the film.
Since 1998, he has steadily increased his profile. He has constantly been working since Lebowski, but found his first large role as a recurring character on Dexter named Paul Bennett. He then played Jacob on the show Lost, and James Bishop on Being Human. His biggest role, however, has been as Lucifer in Supernatural. He appears as Deputy Standall in 13 Reasons Why.
2 Julianne Moore
While not as prolific as some of the other actors on the list, Julianne Moore has racked up 85 acting credits since her start in 1987. Prior to her portrayal of the performance artist Maude Lebowski in The Big Lebowski, her biggest roles both came in 1997 when she played Sarah Harding in The Lost World: Jurassic Park and Amber Waves in Boogie Nights (for which she received a Best Supporting Actress Oscar nomination).
Moore also appeared in the shot-for-shot Psycho remake in 1998 (have you noticed how many of the movies in this list overlap with multiple actors?). Other notable roles for Moore included 1999's Magnolia, 2001's Hannibal, 2002's The Hours, 2006's Children of Men, 2014's Still Alice, and the Hunger Games series.
She has been nominated for several Oscars, and finally won (as Best Actress) for Still Alice. Moore will be appearing in the upcoming Kingsman: The Golden Circle. She is also a New York Times Best-Selling children's author.
1 Jeff Bridges
We had to finish off with The Dude himself, right? Jeff Bridges, son of acting legend Lloyd Bridges and brother of veteran actor Beau Bridges, began acting in 1951 as an infant. By the time The Big Lebowski had rolled around, Bridges was already an accomplished actor.
He'd received three Oscar nominations prior to Lebowski, and had appeared in classic movies, such as the 1982 Tron and The Fisher King. In 1998, in his first collaboration with the Coen Brothers, he starred as Jeffrey "The Dude" Lebowski, a role that has been inexorably tied to the man since (not that he seems to mind).
Bridges re-teamed with the Coen Brothers, starring as Rooster Cogburn in their remake of True Grit. It earned him one of the four Oscar Nominations post-Lebowski. He won a Best Actor Oscar in 2009 for Crazy Heart.
Bridges has the distinction of being the first villain of the modern MCU, playing Obadiah Stane in Iron Man. Also a writer, Bridges wrote a book called The Dude and the Zen Master, and has published a book of photography as well. If that weren't enough, Bridges is also a recording country music artist, and in 2015 released a spoken word/meditation album called Sleeping Tapes.

Discussion in '2016 + Toyota Tacoma' started by Luis Chacón, Oct 25, 2018.
I love this truck just don't seem to understand why it vibrates like that
Join TacomaForum.com Today!
Atkinson cycle
If it's not vibrating at speed and the RPM aren't dying down than it's more than likely just the Atkinson cycle. There's a great video posted in this thread explaining the motor and how it runs. You will get a slight vibration with this motor.
I've had two third gens and they both did it. Not enough to make me worry but enough to notice.
There's been a few hiccups with the third gens (as there is with any new model of vehicle) but the motor hasn't been one of them.
If it's worrisome for you than I'd take it to the dealership and let them investigate it to give you peace of mind.
Good morning thank you guys for all the response, so the Atkinson cycle is running all the time? Because I feel the vibration on my truck from point a to point b everyday
The engine switches between Otto cycle and Atkinson cycle as power is needed. It also uses direct and port fuel injection.
At a redlight, while idling, or when less power is needed the motor runs in Atkinson cycle.
When you need more power, hit the gas, put the motor under a load by requiring torque for movement the Otto Cycle kicks in (the most popular standard thermodynamic cycle that has been in use since the inception of the internal combustion motor).
The truck is constantly switching as power is needed to increase efficiency.
With all of this technology going on under the hood you'll get some vibration and chattering as it changes between Atkinson and Otto, direct and port fuel injection.
Thanks bro! Just learned a lot ! I'll just have to to learn to ignore the vibration!
I've learned to love it. I get on highways in 3rd gear always, then hit it as I'm merging (after making sure nobody is in the way). This little baby really takes off!
This explanation of both cycles is useful.
Yeah. When it picks up it'll take off.
So you can sleep at night ^
Never had any issues with my motor just Tranny hunting and leaky rears couple little things Haha
that should help a lot.
Do you guys recommend any tuns ?? I've seen on here about OVtune have any of you used it ??
How long have you had your truck for? I also have an 18 dcsb sport and when I took delivery everything was running great but for the last month or so there have been little random things here and there like the excessive engine noise as well as some suspension noises. I took it for my first service this past Friday and so far my tacoma been driving better than when I first got it. There is a noticeable difference in engine noise and all my little issues have gone away.
I have it and love it. Got it back in July, no issues, it really shines at low elevations, I live at 7,000' but it makes me smile up here too. Manual transmission also.
It sounds like it was telling you it needed a fluid flush. Glad it's running better.
I just got this truck 3 weeks ago! Does yours have a vibration when your on idle too? Or is this happening just on some Tacoma's ! ?
I would say yes but nothing too bad for me to really worry about. I figured it just had to do with how loud the engine was before it got warmed up because once everything was all warmed up the vibrations subsided for the most part. I also noticed minor squeaks and other noises from inside the cab that bothered me more than the engine noise and minor vibrations and those were usually constant at slower speeds when driving on bumpy roads. I guess my truck just need to be lubed up inside and out, lol.
Check this out my truck doesn't have any vibrations when it's cold but once it's at normal temperature it starts to vibrate. And don't get me stared when I turn on the ac ...
Well that's interesting to hear, I don't really know what to say.
Like someone else suggested, maybe you should change which gas station you go to. Years ago, there was one particular gas station that I went to that every time I filled up, about halfway through that tank of gas, the check engine light would come on. Once I refilled at a different gas station it went away.
Maybe my Atkinson cycle doesn't work. I don't have any weird vibes or changes in how the engine runs at all.
Feels like a normal sedan engine in a truck.
Brother, I hate you are letting this drive you crazy.
Why don't you take it to the dealership if you don't think it's normal. Make them look at it.
Change gas stations for a while too. At least a couple full tanks.
Test drive another third gen. See if it does it.
If you know someone else who's got a third gen ask to ride in or drive theirs.
Separate names with a comma.

Objective: The objective of the activity is to develop a single-piece housing with embedded heat transport channels that transport waste heat directly from the electronics to an external heat sink and which can operate both on-ground and in-flight.
Target Improvements: The main benefit of this development is the significant reduction in the thermal gradient within the electronics housing. This will enable the electronics to operate at lower temperatures thereby increasing their reliability or to accommodate more higher dissipating components, or a combination thereof. This will mark an important evolution of thermal management for high power density electronic units.
Description: State of the art thermal design for electronic housings result in the highest thermal gradient (from component junction temperature to the unit baseplate) on the spacecraft. The ability to reduce this gradient will reduce the size and mass of electronic units whilst increasing reliability or conversely allow higher dissipating components to be accommodated insidecurrent housing sizes.
Previous activities have developed two-phase components that transport heat from electronic components to the housing. The proposed activity would combined these ideas with Additive Layered Manufacturing (ALM) to create a highly thermally conductive electronic housing.
The concept is to reduce the number of thermal interfaces from 2 to 1, via an embedded heat transportdesign (e.g. 2-phase channel) design. The heat transport channels would be directly integrated inside the PCB stiffener frame.
Ideally it would be more efficient to have a single, large two-phase thermal structure for the satellite. However, reliability and modularity requirement make actual implementation on a satellite very difficult.
A potential solution is to use additive layered manufacturing to manufacture complex capillary structures as well as innovative heat exchangers. This would enable the coupling of 2 or moretwo-phase channels together without directly exchanging heat pipe fluid thereby greatly reducing failure propagation. This also enables the possibility to use different types of fluid in the system. One type of fluid can be used in the electronic housing that would then exchange heat via the heat exchangers to another heat channel system using another type of fluid. The heat is then transported to an interface heat sink provided by the satellite system.
It is important also that the internal capillary structure works during satellite AIT, i.e. it works in 1g. In a horizontal configuration, the third dimension of the two phase channel supports transport of the full dissipating energy without compromising on-ground testing at unit and spacecraft level.
Electronic box with embedded heat pipes prototype based on the developed concepts shall be designed, developed and manufactured. Tests shall be conducted to validate the expected performance improvements and demonstrate the developed concepts.

Hacking gogo inflight wireless
So I was stuck on an aircraft today and went to use the gogo service. The server forauth was failing http://airborne.gogoinflight.com/abp/ so that wasn't fun but didgive me a reason to see what I could do about it.
After some time messing around in the domain space I quickly noticed that a errorpage in https had a we are sorry icon from a cache provider which let me to test something
Https google ...
Works! I was able to google around read the news, ah-ha but not gmail.
On to another test ..Facebook. Interesting this time I get a advertisement kick upfrom google again and a catptcha. But then redirect to Facebook proper.
So what can you learn from this... No I didn't hack gogo I just used that for a googlehit. They are on purpose allowing access to these things as obvious with the advertisementredirect... Oh well it was a good use of an hour and for a second I felt like I hackedsomething cool.
Back to the apache dump page ...

We have an old friend who deserves your admiration, because he's doing his level best to help Keep America Strong. He may not have set out to do this, but why quibble about intent, when the outcome is all that matters. Imagine this conversation between him and his wife of many years:
Wife: "Honey, we really need to redo the kitchen. We've lived here for more than 20 years, and it's time for new appliances and cabinets, and…"
Friend: "Fine, fine. That sounds reasonable. Find out what it costs , and let's see what we can do."
Time passes, bids are submitted, and so….
Okay, so maybe there's a little structural work involved as well — a bigger breakfast nook, which he definitely needs now that both of his kids have moved out for good. It's good to stretch out and let the bacon settle before walking his dog (actually, his daughter's dog, but she lives in a small apartment in Boston now, and doesn't have the room or the time to walk the little critter, which is the size of a pony).
Now my friend, who is completely at home with banking arcana like "VaR" (Value at Risk) and CoVaR (don't ask), was getting a little puzzled by some of the bids he is getting from the contractor. Somehow, this project has expanded into areas he had thought he understood, but clearly some miscommunication or simple lapse of attention has muddied what he had assumed was a clear picture. Because suddenly:
"Well, as long as we're enlarging the kitchen, it turned out to make sense to add onto the bedroom upstairs…."
"Add what? A billiard room?"
"No, just a bigger bathroom and more closet space…."
Okay. You may have done some renovation yourselves, and understand that sometimes these things happen, and you find yourself in a somewhat more ambitious enterprise than originally contemplated. You can't exactly go backwards now. Especially my friend, who is devoted to his family (you already knew that from the bit about the dog), and, although he won't spend a nickel on himself, empties his pockets with an almost federal largess when it comes to his wife and children.
But then:
The next thing he knows his entire house is covered in plastic sheeting. He is pissing sawdust. He has to move into his basement, and there's no way this is all getting finished before Christmas. Hell, he'll be lucky if they let him back upstairs for Valentine's Day. But at least he's doing his bit to keep America's home builders above water during this difficult period, and he's nothing if not patriotic.
I had lunch with him today. He's badly shaken. Not long ago he could come home to a nice relaxing cocktail and a home-cooked meal; now, as he says, "I'm lucky if she makes a reservation. I live in a bunker — for all I know, Adolf and Eva will be dropping in for the holidays. My daughter is thinking maybe Christmas in Cancun with her friends might be nice. My son and his new wife are afraid to call — he spent twenty five years feeding at my trough, and now that he has a home of his own, he's probably worried I think this is my big chance to get even. All I've got is the dog, and even he's worried, because he already knows what it is to be homeless."
"Have another drink," I explained.
So count your blessings. Maybe your house is worth less than it used to be (whose isn't?), and maybe it's been a while since you think you've caught a break. But look at my friend. He just wanted to make someone happy — and he did. The contractor is exultant.
