Baseball and food may be a common combination, but get ready to ditch the hotdogs and cracker jacks. The 2013 South Beach Wine and Food Festival is around the corner and is holding its annual Diamond Dishes Dinner presented by Creekstone Farms with special guest manager Anne Burrell on Sat., Feb. 23 from 7p.m.-10p.m. The event will take place at Marlin’s Stadium and will offer up some of the best food that can be eaten in a ballpark.
Named after Diamond Dishes, Marlin’s co-owner, Julia Loria’s cookbook, the event allows foodies to go from base to base trying different dishes with the featured chefs stationed at each base. Serving it up this year is an all-female roster in a league of it’s own, including Michelle Bernstein, April Bloomfield, Jeni Britton Bauer, Stephanie Izard, Julie Loria, and Naomi Pomeray, and Andrea Robinson.
One chef particularly excited is Bauer of Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams, who is serving her unique desserts from the dugout. “They’re really beautiful little ice cream sandwiches,” explains Bauer. Which she and her team are driving down in a refrigerated truck from her hometown of Columbus, Ohio. “We we’re just too scared to let them out of our hands,” she says. While she is serving her wares at a few other SOBEWFF events as well, she has special caramel corn ice cream sandwich for Diamond Dishes that keep with the baseball theme.
In addition, master sommelier Andrea Robinson will be in charge of the wine list, so all palettes will be satisfied with a perfectly paired wine with their dinner. If you need more incentive to attend this scrumptious dinner, Delta, the host of this year’s event will be giving away four all-inclusive vacations as a part of a silent auction at each base. Those who attend the event will be able to bid on trips to London, South America, and Chicago while simultaneously consuming food-network fare. Net Proceeds will also go to the Mayor’s Fund for NYC Hurricane Relief and the Food Bank For New York City which both help those affected by Hurricane Sandy.
Gates open at 7 p.m. at the Clevelander for a reception held by Julie Loria. Tickets for the event cost $225, and the event will be held at 501, Marlins Way, Miami FL 33125.

Unfortunately, once at the top of a windy tower, you still have to go back down again.
Lots of walking to get to this beach.
The dog had other ideas as to where she was going to go. (and that normally involved going in the opposite direction).

Apart from being the beloved country of this recently deceased director whose heyday coincided with Europe’s postwar rebirth, Sweden is undoubtedly one of the least plausible locations you might imagine involved in a cataclysm of the type only possible the last sixty-odd years. Bergman’s untouchability has been questioned the last two decades or so, but such impertinence is common to every wave of clammy-handed critics who seek to deify their contemporaries and cast out the old masters. When you consider that the ghosts of Milton, Bach, and Melville all labored at one point or another in obscurity in favor of talentless hacks whose names are long forgotten, Bergman’s waning authority is not surprising. Soon enough, however, he will be restored to power because he is a genius of this newest art of ours, the moving picture. And this film, shot with some of Bergman’s habitual actors and crew and on the Swedish island he so adored, is a monumental tribute to Bergman by the greatest cinematic artist the world has ever seen.
We begin the film in Gotland, land of God or good, an island away from the Swedish mainland, a small sanctuary amidst the torrents of chaos, war, and materialism. There Alexander (Erland Josephson), a family patriarch and man of no faith, lives with his family, including his English wife Adelaide and their mute six-year-old son. Alexander’s days are quiet ones, very distant from the storm of his younger years in which he was an actor, psychologist, and something of a philosopher. The postman comes with a telegram that allows Alexander to digress into the usual existential poppycock about the fate of man (no one is supposed to be impressed with the casual mention of profound topics except perhaps Alexander himself). Civilization, he muses, has no real meaning, and it is fruitless even to discuss that some higher power has given us the privilege of life. It is in this context, at a family dinner to which the postman is invited, that the unthinkable occurs: a short, earthquake-like scene is followed by an emergency announcement from the television. This is the worst kind of announcement; the announcement no one ever, ever hopes to hear or consider; the announcement that for a while during the height of the Cold War seemed less of a fantasy than at any other time; the announcement that makes Alexander do something he has never done or wanted to do. And at the end of this strange session which he seals with a promise, Alexander wakes up, cold and wretched. But the world he sees does not reflect his misery in the way he thought it might.
There are myriad interpretations as to why Alexander makes such a choice, why his house erupts in flames (in one of the greatest scenes in all of cinema), and why his son, in the end, finally speaks. Perhaps the most satisfying approach would be to ask oneself what Bergman and Tarkovsky have in common. Both are Northern Europeans, aesthetes of the finest caliber, untraditional if devout in their spirituality, and committed to demolishing the falsehoods of trend, movement, and theory that throughout the course of human history have tried and failed to reduce us to amœbæ. Man is first and foremost a spiritual being, a soul caged in a brittle box. What else he makes of himself is often dictated by vanity, hedonism, or cruel circumstance. The aging Alexander, who has always been vain and hedonistic, cannot fathom for the longest time why anyone should care about what we can’t see, or those billions of people we cannot meet, or the ecumenical and moral responsibility we have to preserve ourselves in the face of extinction and lesser plagues. Hopeless man does not even deserve my pity, he assures himself. Then he grasps at a thread – a large, branched thread that he plants on his birthday – tries to follow its path against the almighty sun, and comes across something else. His beginning is his end, so to speak. Or something greater than both.

WORLDS OF IMAGINATION ONLINE CONFERENCE:
MEDIA, PLACE AND TOURISM IN TODAY’S GLOBAL WORLD
Worlds of Imagination: Media, Place and Tourism in Today’s Global World is a 3-day online international conference that highlights the interconnections between media, tourism and place. The conference aims to bring together the diverse perspectives, approaches and actors involved in this process while focusing on critical issues accompanying this multifaceted phenomenon. We venture off the beaten track by adopting a decidedly global perspective and putting emphasis on the exploration, analysis and comparison of cases from around the world. This conference aims to broaden the horizons by including and comparing research into, for example, Bollywood films, Brazilian telenovelas and South Korean K-drama.
WORLDS OF IMAGINATION RESEARCH PROJECT
This ERC-funded research project focuses on film tourism: the phenomenon of people visiting locations from popular films or TV series. Recent years have seen explosive growth in this type of tourism, with far-reaching implications for the experience and organization of landscapes. The aim of this project is to discover why and under what circumstances films or TV series give rise to new tourism flows, and which variations can be found based on the specific characteristics of the media productions, local communities and tourists involved.

"This book provides an unprecedented analysis on the place of performance. The central theme is that the place of performance is of considerable significance as a connecting factor in international commercial contracts. This book challenges and questions the approach of the European legislator for not explicitly giving special significance to the place of performance in determining the applicable law in the absence of choice for commercial contracts. It also contains, inter alia, an analogy to matters of foreign country mandatory rules, and the coherence between jurisdiction and choice of law. It concludes by proposing a revised Article 4 of Rome I Regulation, which could be used as an international solution by legislators, judges, arbitrators and other stakeholders who wish to reform their choice of law rules."-- Provided by publisher.

Hello my lovely people,
Last week of the Web Design module is here! XD I have no idea what the next week will bring in terms of the internship but i know i will have less hours and that means more time for me and my photography! 😀 I’m super excited!
Here’s a photo from last summer again, the Spittelau waste incineration plant against a lovely dramatic sky! Love them clouds! ❤ The façade of the building was redesigned by eco-architect Friedensreich Hundertwasser after a major fire in 1989, giving it this unique and colorful appearance. It’s definitely an eye-catcher!

Bill Description: House Bill 421 prohibits certain vaccine mandates imposed by government entities.
Analyst Note: H421 is one of several pieces of legislation introduced during the November meeting of the 2021 session to address the issue of vaccine mandates in Idaho.
Does it violate the spirit or the letter of either the U.S. Constitution or the Idaho Constitution? Examples include restrictions on speech, public assembly, the press, privacy, private property, or firearms. Conversely, does it restore or uphold the protections guaranteed in the U.S. Constitution or the Idaho Constitution?
H421 creates Section 67-2359, Idaho Code, to prohibit government entities from requiring proof of vaccination or a negative laboratory test result in order to "apply for or receive services provided by the state or a political subdivision of the state"; "enter or remain in a government venue"; or "be hired by the state or maintain employment with the state."
Additionally, the bill says, "An employee of the state or a political subdivision of the state may not be discriminated against on the basis of such employee's immunization status."
Concerningly, the only penalty for violating the protections guaranteed under this section is a civil fine of $500 - $1,000 rather than any criminal penalties. One positive, however, is that the fine is to be paid personally by the individual responsible for the violation, not "from the state's or the political subdivision's budget."

The Build Continues: Swingarm & Exhaust
I was going to wait for my suspension to show up before I started putting everything together, but I got impatient and checked a few items off of the to-do list:
- Reinstalled chain & swing arm
- Installed drive sprocket
- Installed rear wheel & brakes
- Attached clutch cable and set it up properly
- Attached rear brake pedal
- Installed front brackets with R/R, coolant expansion tank, horn & starter relay
- Installed radiator & hoses
- And last but not least, I put my Leo Vince muffler on! I was kind of disappointed that they didn’t include some sort of plastic covering for the can. The matte finish scratches very easily. It would have been nice to have something to protect the finish during installation. It’s on though and she’s starting to look like a motorcycle again.
I tried to dry fit my 10 gal IMS fuel tank, but it was a no-go. The front wings hit the radiator on the left side, and the mounting bracket on the right… I guess I’ll have to read the instructions to figure out how to put it on.
And so ended day 2 of the build.
Eagle Mike Tech Day
Eagle Mike is famous within the KLR community. He runs a shop in southern California that caters to the KLR community. His part selection ranges from low profile oil drain plugs to 685cc & 705cc kits, and lots of stuff in between. In addition, Mike does tech days through out the summer, teaching people how to wrench on their KLR’s. I could have probably used some of that technical training today. More on that later.
While I was waiting for my suspension to arrive, I decided to knock out a few of the mods I’d picked up from Eagle Mike. I decided to start with the subframe drill through kit. One of the shortcomings of the KLR is the low strength bolts they use to attach the rear subframe to the frame.
Eagle Mike has two possible solutions to this issue. The first is to replace the stock bolts with stronger bolts. The more robust solution though, is to drill through the frame and use a single long bolt that connects both sides of the subframe to the frame. This is the solution I chose. For $24.00 it’s a cheap and easy mod to do to increase the strength of the bikes subframe.
The only real issue I had with this mod was separating the subframe from the frame. The instructions kind of imply that once you disconnect and loosen everything it says to loosen, the bike will practically split in half. That wasn’t the case with my bike. After double checking that I had all the appropriate parts loose or disconnected, I had to pull the frame and subframe apart so I could drill through the frame.
There is supposed to be a 3/4” spacer that goes under that nut. It wasn’t in my kit. I sent Mike an email and he shipped a spacer out to me a couple of hours later. Not bad for a Saturday afternoon!
The kit also includes hardened bolts for the lower half of the subframe. These are not nearly as difficult to install. Just remove the old ones apply some red loctite and torque to spec. Done
Cogent has Delivered!
My suspension arrived shortly after lunch. Since it was a 20 minute job to put the rear shock in, I took the time to slide it into place. But not before I took a pic or two.
The front forks will have to wait for another day.
More Eagle Mike: Do the Doo
With the subframe out of the way I decided to tackle the “doohickey”. Yes, that’s the technical term. Ok, no not really. The technical term is “Balancer Chain Adjustment Lever.” Doohickey is easier to remember though.
Why am I replacing the doohickey you ask? Well, it has a long and storied history of breaking on all years of KLR’s. The resulting issues can be minor – extra noise – to pretty catastrophic – a seized motor. To be fair, Kawasaki has improved the doohickey over the years, but it’s still far from perfect. For a long term road trip like I’m planning, the piece of mind is worth the extra expense and effort.
Installing the doohickey is not for the faint of heart. It involves opening up the left side of the motor and removing the rotor and the starter gear and drilling a hole through one of the aluminum castings. I’ll spare you the gory details. If you’re really interested in how the doo is done, here’s a link to a good video I found on YouTube: Click!
The meat and potatoes of the mod is to remove the stock spring and lever and install upgraded ones. The spring (not pictured) is usually too long and looses tension very early in the bike’s lifespan. Effectively eliminating any ability to properly tension the chains.
In older model KLR’s, the lever (the red arrow) is welded together. They have a tendency to fracture at the welds which leaves large chunks of metal floating around near the timing chains. Not a good thing. On newer bikes, the lever is machined from a single piece of metal which pretty well eliminates the cracking problem.
The lever isn’t out of the woods yet though. Often they are poorly machined and do not mesh with the tensioner shaft shaft well. So despite Kawasaki’s attempts to fix the doohickey, it’s still a good idea to do this upgrade.
The new hole is an anchor point for one end of the torsion spring. The other end of the spring hooks onto the lever (shown below).
As you can see in the picture above, there is not much clearance between the lever and the bottom of the casting. I tried to use the Eagle Mike lever, but didn’t fit.
This pic shows the stock lever and Eagle Mike lever stacked on each other, with the bottoms lined up. The Eagle Mike one is on top. You can see how the inside radius doesn’t line up between the two parts. This tells me that the Eagle Mike version is slightly larger. The stock one fits to the tensioner shaft pretty well, so I decided to use it instead.
As with most things, taking my KLR apart was a lot easier than putting it back together. Reassembling the left side of the motor was no exception.
It started off well enough. The starter gear and rotor mount to the crankshaft. The rotor uses a key to hold it in place on the shaft. The key is half moon shaped and, in retrospect, almost guaranteed to slip out of place.
Once the starter gear and rotor are in place, it’s time to torque the down. The instructions say to torque it down to 85 ft/lbs and check to make sure that the starter gear easily spins clockwise. So I torqued the bolt and tried to spin the starter gear clockwise. It wouldn’t budge.
That’s less than ideal. What did I screw up?
I unbolted the rotor and pull it off of the crankshaft. The first thing I notice; the stupid key had slid out of place. As I torqued the rotor down it had sheared the top quarter of the key off. That is what was keeping the starter gear from spinning. Once I cleaned key fragments I tried to remove the remains of the key from the crankshaft. Nope, it is now pressed into the slot and will not come out easily.
I emailed Eagle Mike and asked for suggestions. I had a vision of pulling the motor and removing the crank so a machine shop could grind the key out. Fortunately Eagle Mike had a better solution. Use a Dremel and cut it out myself.
A little bit of a silver lining is that Eagle Mike also stocks these keys. Apparently I’m not the first person to do this.
Ending on an up Note
In an effort to get at least one thing fully installed today, I decided to slap on my IMS ADV II foot pegs. These things are huge!
I’m batting 500 for today. The rear shock is installed, as well as my new foot pegs. I failed at the drill through upgrade and the doo though. I think it’s a good time to call it a day.

What is a body when it's lost?
ANTÍGONA GONZÁLEZ is the story of the search for a body, a specific body, one of the thousands of bodies lost in the war against drug trafficking that began more than a decade ago in Mexico. A woman, Antígona González, attempts to narrate the disappearance of Tadeo, her elder brother. She searches for her brother among the dead. San Fernando, Tamaulipas, appears to be the end of her search.
But Sara Uribe's book is also a palimpsest that rewrites and cowrites the juxtapositions and interweavings of all the other Antigones. From the foundational Antigone of Sophocles passing through Griselda Gambaro's Antígona furiosa, Leopoldo Marechal's Antígona Vélez, María Zambrano's La tumba de Antígona all the way to Antigone's Claim by Judith Butler. And this book's writing machine includes testimonies from family members of the victims and fragments and fragments from news stories that provide accounts of all these absences, all the bodies that we are missing.
"This brilliant and moving book revives the story of Antigone to confront the horrifying violence shrouded within the present landscape—Antigone, a solitary figure before the law, facing certain death, who invokes a way of resistance at once textual and political. Sophocles' play resonates throughout this act of poetic testimony and fierce interpretation, making emphatic graphic marks precisely where there is no trace of loss."—Judith Butler
"Sara Uribe's ANTÍGONA GONZÁLEZ reads as if written by the Emily Dickinson of Tamaulipas in response to the loss and violence occurring all around her—it is that intimate, honest, unaffected, intelligent, urgent, innovative, spare, and beautiful. I am so happy that this landmark of contemporary Mexican literature is now available in the United States."—Francisco Goldman
"As the families of so many disappeared throughout Mexico, Sara Uribe's ANTÍGONA GONZÁLEZ roams a convulsed land looking for the body of Tadeo, her brother. As urgent as it is delicate, ANTÍGONA GONZÁLEZ summons the dead and brings them to our tables, for the day we cease sharing memory and language with them, we ourselves will become loss, vanished sign, oblivion."—Cristina Rivera-Garza
Born in 1978 in Querétaro, Sara Uribe has lived in Tamaulipas since 1996. She graduated with an undergraduate degree in Philosophy; she received the Carmen Alardín Regional Poetry Prize in 2004, the Tijuana National Poetry Prize in 2005 and the Clemente López Trujillo Poetry Prize in 2005. She has been a grantee of the Fondo Nacional para la Cultura y las Artes (2006-2007) and of the Programa de Estímulos a la Creación y Desarrollo Artístico (2010 & 2013). She has published Lo que no imaginas (2005), Palabras más palabras menos (2006), Nunca quise detener el tiempo (2008), Goliat (2009) and Siam (2012). Her poems have appeared in periodicals and anthologies in Mexico, Peru, Spain, Canada, the United Kingdom and the United States.

Cars like the upcoming TuLesto from German tuner Novitec Rosso is a perfect representation of the type of cars found in this exclusive world. The latest supercar is the first complete car offered by Novitec Rosso, which started the project as part of its celebrations for its 20th anniversary.
The mid-engine TuLesto is 204cm wide and weighs in at just 1,260kg. Power comes from a twin-supercharged 4.4L V8 engine rated at 777hp (580kW) and combined with the light kerb weight offers a power-to-weight ratio of just 1.62kg/hp. Peak torque stands at 536lb-ft (727Nm).
Power transfer is taken care of with a six-speed semi-automatic gearbox with an integrated anti-slip differential and carbon-fiber paddles behind the steering wheel.
Light-weight construction was one of the main goals from the very start of the project. The designers' materials of choice are normally found in race cars. The chassis and the integrated safety cell, for example, are made entirely from aluminum, making them extremely light while at the same time giving them extraordinary rigidity.
The result is driving performance that only very few super sports cars can match: the sprint from rest to 100km/h, according to Novitec Rosso, takes less than 3.4 seconds, and top speed is estimated at more than 350km/h.
While the lines of the car share a striking similarity with those of Ferrari’s F430, the TuLesto has been designed from the ground up.
The design is the result of cooperation between Novitec Rosso and Italian design studio Luca Serafini Stile in Modena. The car stretches 462cm in length, 204cm across and has a height of 122cm.
Inside, the race car theme continues, with plenty of carbon-fiber and aluminum used for trim. A number of creature comforts are also present, including a climate-control system and a high-end sound system.
Expect more details to come as the project is still in development.

One word to describe your wedding? Lively
Your favorite part? Adam’s surprise Irish dance performance. I (SJ) had coordinated two group Irish dance routines with Irish dance friends from NYC and Buffalo. I had no idea that one of those friends was secretly teaching Adam to Irish dance, too!
If you could change one thing about your wedding what would it be? Adam says he would have cried less, hahaha. I would have danced more.
What memory stands out to you about the I Do’s and Celebration? Walking into the ceremony together, and the guests standing, cheering, hollering and clapping as we made our way to the makeshift altar. We didn’t expect the atmosphere to be so wild and electric. That was unbelievable.

What is better than delicious, cinnamon spiced, pumpkin oatmeal cookies loaded with dark chocolate pieces and tart cranberries in the fall?
How about if those cookies are healthy, 100% refined sugar free, and made with 100% whole grains, but are STILL 100% delicious?
And how about getting FREE STUFF on top of that?
Well today’s your lucky day, folks. It’s Bowl of Delicious’s first giveaway! Today, I’m featuring these delicious (and healthy!) cookies and partnering with Bake it Fun to present you with the chance to win not one, not two, but one of THREE awesome silicone baking products! (But wait- there’s more!) Even if you don’t win the giveaway, Bowl of Delicious readers get a special discount when shopping at Bake it Fun. (Not to stress you out, but a quick reminder that the holidays are fast approaching! These would make awesome presents for the cooks in your life.)
What is a silicone baking product, you ask? Silicone is a (magical) oven-safe material that’s soft, pliable, and almost like plastic… but it (contrary to what your instincts may be telling you) does not melt in the oven. It’s BPA free and completely safe. And best of all: it’s NON-STICK.
When Bake it Fun sent me their set of three silicone baking mats, I was beyond excited. They fit perfectly in standard half sheet and quarter sheet (and toaster oven!) pans and are so, so easy to use. Before getting these mats, I was a big fan of using parchment paper to bake: it makes clean-up a breeze and makes sliding cookies, roasted vegetables, and other baked items so easy to transfer from its non-stick surface to a plate. But these mats do the same thing and are reusable! Your conscious can rest easy knowing that you aren’t creating unnecessary waste to add to a landfill by using parchment paper.
PLUS – not only do the baking mats come in fun colors – the Bake it Fun baking mats have awesome measuring tools. There’s a ruler on all four sides (for rolling out dough for pizzas, puff pastry items, etc.) and circles for where you should place cookie dough to have them perfectly spaced apart. And there are concentric circles around each circle so you can measure small, medium, or large cookies! For someone with slight OCD tendencies (like me), this is so helpful.
And baking mats are not the only silicone baking product Bake if Fun has. They have pastry sheets, oven mitts, baking cups for muffins and cupcakes, piping bags/decorating tips, spatulas and basting brushes, and even a kneading bag.
A few quick notes about these cookies before I get into the details of the giveaway and discount :-)
- Pumpkin cookies are interesting because they tend to be a bit fluffier and more “cake-like” than your typical cookie. This means they won’t spread out as much when baking, and will be a little thicker. Still delicious, but don’t worry that you did something wrong with this recipe if this happens to you!
- I used maple syrup to sweeten mine. This, mixed with the dark chocolate and dried cranberries, makes it sweet but not too sweet. If you want a sweeter cookie, use brown sugar in place of the maple syrup. This will also make them a bit chewier.
- And finally, as I am writing this, I am enjoying two of these cookies that I defrosted from the freezer with black coffee on this crisp, fall Saturday morning. It’s perfection. 20 seconds in the microwave and you’ll have a warm cookie with melty dark chocolate that tastes like it is straight out of the oven. I recommend freezing some of these cookies so you can have some every once in a while and not eat all two dozen at once (although, I will be the last person to judge you if that’s what you decide to do!), or have something to take out if guests come over.
Now: here’s how to enter the giveaway!
Visit the Bake it Fun website and view their products. Then, leave a comment below with what you would make using their products!
On Sunday, October 18, I will randomly choose three winners from the comments below (via random.org) who will be given the opportunity to choose a product that they want from Bake it Fun (it doesn’t have to be the product you commented on). The winners will be announced on this post and on Bowl of Delicious’s facebook page, and I’ll email the winners to let them know they won, with more details on how to choose their product.
And even if you aren’t one of the lucky winners, Bowl of Delicious readers get a 10% discount on Bake it Fun products!
If you buy a product from Bake it Fun, simply enter coupon code bowldeli at checkout, and you will receive 10% off your order. Again, DON’T PANIC, but the holidays will be here before you know it!
Here’s the recipe for the dark chocolate and cranberry pumpkin oatmeal cookies. Leave your comments below to enter! And may the odds be ever in your favor :-)
UPDATE: This giveaway is closed. Congrats to Nadya, Melissa, and Kathryn for winning the giveaway!!

I was fortunate enough to be among the masses who attended the private debut of the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray in Detroit last January 13th and I was amazed with what I saw that night. I was instantly awe-struck with the revolutionary changes made to the fabled American performance car from front to back and under the hood as – while the C7 was a vast departure from the previous generation – this car was still clearly a Corvette. However, there were grumbles amongst the crowds as traditionalist Corvette fans complained about the new angular taillights and the simple fact that, in their opinion, this new Stingray looked nothing like the outgoing models. In the days and weeks following the Corvette debut, some of those negative sentiments spread across the Corvette forums and the various social media sites as the old school Corvette fans voiced their displeasure with the redesign of the 7th generation. Fortunately for General Motors, that unhappy minority was grossly outnumbered by the millions of people around the world who – like me – love the look of the C7 Stingray.
Now that the world has had a chance to process their thoughts on the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray in the eleven months since the C7 was introduced, we wanted to find out what a serious Corvette enthusiast thinks about the new Stingray. The enthusiast with whom was were able to speak was Nick Jaquez and while Nick is a diehard Corvette lover like so many others, he took his passion for the car to the next level when he opened StingrayForums. I asked Nick two very simple – yet very poignant – questions about the 2014 Corvette to which he offered a pair of excellent answers with even better key points to support his views on the C7 Stingray.
TorqueNews: Now that you have had a chance to see the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray from every angle – both in images and in person – what do you think of the new look?
Nick Jaquez: I actually really like the new design of the Corvette. I think that the old design was starting to become dated. The silhouette of the Corvette is timeless, and the lines within that silhouette need to be updated so they do not become irrelevant. There has not been a major overhaul of the lines of the Corvette since the C4 Corvette in 1984. The flat rear ended wedge shape has been present since 1984. That is 30 years of design stagnation. The only real changes in the silhouette were that in the rear glass harkening to and from the split windows of the mid 60's.
When the original "Sting Ray Coupe" came out, it was a revolutionary redesign of the Corvette line, and the following generation, "C3 Stingray Coupe," was even bolder in the silhouette and body lines. The Stingray of the 70's and early 80's embodied the look of muscle and power with it's bold fender flaring, and low slung midsection. The malaise era affected the Corvette design as well. The hood and fenders were flattened out, and the car was made to be more approachable and useable.
The turn of the century saw that same shape streamlined and made more slick and slippery, but the shape was retained and became the requisite shape that people think of when they think Corvette. The lines were rounded and the muscular look came back to the Corvette line. The C6 did not venture far from this same design. To the uninitiated, they are hard pressed to say that the generation had changed. The body lines from the C5 were pressed into a hard crease, but retained their locations. In silhouette the cars don't venture from that "Corvette Shape."
Just as revolutionary as the first Stingray was in the early 60's, the new Stingray is a complete departure from the lines that Corvette has held for 30 years while still looking like a Corvette somehow. Retaining the lines that are so familiar to enthusiasts and John Q Public was the key to keeping the heritage alive.
Some do not like the new car, and so many others love it! This is a true statement for any change to things that people hold so near and dear to their heart.
TorqueNews: Many of the people who don’t like the 2014 Corvette Stingray hate the angular taillights. What are your thoughts on these new rectangular lenses?
Nick Jaquez: After 50 years of the round taillights that have "defined a Corvette," the designers of the C7 have been ridiculed for changing a feature that has been on the car since 1962. I say good on them! If my favorite band had made the same album every year for over a half a century I think I would get a little tired of them. While the Rolling Stones are timeless, I don't think they would be touring today if they never evolved past 1964's "12 X 5." A brand and vehicle design has to evolve to survive. While a 1965 Corvette is iconic, if it were released in today's marketplace, it would be beat outright by most minivans in virtually all of the performance figures.
So there you have it – a clear, defined explanation as to why it really is ok for the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray to not be identical to the models that came before it. That explanation doesn’t come from a journalist who makes a living talking about cars – that well thought out view on why the changes made to the C7 Corvette are so important come from a member of the faithful Corvette community and we couldn’t agree more.
While there will still be aging enthusiasts out there who insist that the 2014 model should have looked more like their ’88 Corvette, the 2014 Stingray is truly a rolling work of art and I believe that within the next year or so, the new Corvette will have made such an impact on the American performance car world that no one will worry about the shape of the taillights or the lack of pop-up headlights. Change is good and in this case – the changes are incredible.
A special thanks to Nick Jaquez, Administrator of StingrayForums.com for taking the time to answer our questions!

These are the words the Fairy Godmother whispered to me:
Love, really expansive love based love is all that matters.
Yes, love based love. There is too much fear based love in the world. You know the kind of love that is conditional. The kind of love that has strings attached to it. Now that isn’t love at all.
A lot of people believe they need to save the world, or change themselves or find love from another. The irony is that until you really love yourself even if prince or princess charming shows up in your life you’ll never notice.
You can’t find something in the world if you don’t already have it within yourself.The greatest wealth you can ever have is a profound sense of love and self acceptance, from that all else will follow.
What is money? It is a reflection of your self worth, the more you value yourself the more money will flow effortlessly into your life.
Take a deep breath and surrender into the arms of love. Feel them wrap around you gently and hold you dearly. Listen as love whispers to you and reminds you just how wonderful you are.
Feel loved and allow the love to set you free. Fly on the wings of love and remember what a gift that love is. Love surrounds you, enfolds you and protects you.
Until next time – remember I love you and am always just a thought away.
With that and a bright flash of light she was gone. Promising to share more of her love and wisdom another day.
With love and aloha and glad the fairy godmother is connecting,

03:21 The clock has wound down, so a final word on what we’ve seen tonight: a lot of celebrities, much less by way of serious social messages than last year and a focus on fun over deeper emotions. We wonder if that might have been the wrong strategy for a lot of brands, though – will many of these spots be remembered after tonight or trigger the kind of buying intent brands need? Marketers will only know when they look back at the next few weeks’ sales figures.
That’s it from us. We hope you’ve enjoyed it.
03:03 Just three minutes left on the game clock and Denver look like they’ve put the result beyond Carolina. Meanwhile, #puppymonkeybaby is (finally, thankfully) dropping down the trending topics list on Twitter, with Christopher Walken surging in the other direction thanks to this: the Walken closet, on behalf of car maker Kia. I wonder how many times the agency tried to pitch that idea before it finally landed.
02:57 It’s late in the game and the scores are still tight at Denver 16-10 Carolina, so the praise T-Mobile is getting on Twitter for this ad featuring rapper Drake will presumably also be resonating with a big TV audience.
02:33 A more seriously serious ad, starring Helen Mirren for Budweiser. Just as Heineken has done in the UK recently, Bud is adopting a message of moderation, using Mirren’s famous forthrightness to shame people who drink and drive.
02:18 I was about to comment on how few Super Bowl ads this year have gone out to push a serious message, but after one ad about constipation, now there’s one about diarrhea, so I stand corrected. This one from irritable bowel syndrome medication Xifaxan features an anthropomorphic intestine. Which I never thought I’d say.
02:07 That data is changing on a real-time basis, by the way.
01:59 The game is under way again, so naturally we’re getting our heads into the social media data. Analysis by ispot.tv claims that this spot for Hyundai’s Genesis car model has received greatest share of voice – online at least – registering 13.9% in the past 24 hours. Mountain Dew’s ad is second, though with about half Hyundai’s $9.2m spend, as estimated by ispot.tv. Hyundai also takes fourth place in the list for another TV spot.
01:42 Chris Martin and Beyonce are singing all of the songs at once, apparently – a mash-up/medley of various Super Bowl half-time highlights from throughout the years. Oh, brought to you by Pepsi.
01:25 It’s half-time in the Big Game. Coldplay is coming up next to perform the half-time show. Marketing Week is going to dim the lights and sit in silent recuperation after the mental trauma of #puppymonkeybaby.
01:20 Coca-Cola is on the comic book franchise bandwagon, with this Super Bowl ad promoting its mini cans.

00:59 A battle of the beers is going on, around this Bud Light ad, starring comedians Seth Rogen and Amy Schumer.
Rival lager brand Pabst Blue Ribbon shot back with this tweet of Seth Rogen opening one of its cans.
Before he was paid to join a party… pic.twitter.com/X2ldX4isiI

00:34 I don’t really know what to say about this. It’s a #puppymonkeybaby. It’s advertising Mountain Dew. It’s weird.
00:19 This film trailer for Marvel’s Captain America: Civil War has captured Super Bowl viewers’ attentions, complete with #TeamCap emojis on Twitter.

00:08 The first touchdown! A defensive turnover by Denver after a contentious ‘incomplete’ call against the Carolina Panthers. A lot of fans are angry.
00:03 For an in-depth look at what’s important to brands at the Big Game tonight – rather than my ex tempore ramblings – take a look at the analysis we posted earlier this week.
23:56: And here’s the reason for that, by the way.
23:51 Here’s the proof in case you don’t believe me. Yes, that’s a picture of an avocado.
23:45 And the brand currently winning on Twitter, according to social media platform Postano, is…Mexican avocados. Go figure. Pepsi’s second.
23:39 The game kicks off! Which can only mean one thing: time to start writing about marketing!
23:35 The referee is called Clete. This could not be more American.
23:34 Ok, good, #SuperBowl has overtaken #WarAndPeace in London. The football fans have woken up.
23:32 An air force fly-past, a military choir, a montage: no-one does patriotism like America.
A surprisingly conventional performance of the Star Spangled Banner by Lady Gaga – dressed in a muted red glitter suit as opposed to, well, police tape.
23:20 Welcome to Marketing Week’s live blog of Super Bowl 50, kicking off along with the game in the next few moments. The players are just taking to the field and Twitter has fired up its #SuperBowl hashtag. Strangely, #WarAndPeace is trending top in London at this point, however. Should we have planned a liveblog of TV novel adaptations instead?

GOLD COAST, Australia, August 16. JUST days away from the beginning of the 2014 Pan Pacific Championships, Missy Franklin met with the Australian media at the Gold Coast.
Franklin has had no problems with adjusting to Australia, and slept 10 hours the night before. Franklin also talks about swimming backstroke outdoors, and Emily Seebohm being a definitive threat in the backstroke events. Franklin also talks about the amazing Australian world record in the 400-meter freestyle relay, and how Team USA will have to step up to compete with the Aussies. Franklin also reveals that she was not fully tapered or rested at Nationals.
Franklin also thinks that what the Campbell sisters, Cate and Bronte, have been able to accomplish is amazing.

Display Cabinet – Steam-punk VC ’Auto Reaper’
A while back a started a modelling / painting project that was based on a steam punk themed vampire counts army. I’ve been fascinated by steam punk setting ever since I met it for the first time in the computer RPG called Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arcanum:_Of_Steamworks_and_Magick_Obscura).
So one day I got the idea of combining steam-power and Necromancy, and the idea for a steam-punk based VC project. I’m quite fond on some of the creations that I’ve made for this project and I’m going to show you these over the coming days.
I’m going to start with the Auto Reaper – A mechanized corpse cart that was inspired by the modern reapers. I started off by looking for a suitable steering house / reaper part, and cam across the old snotling pump wagon, that in fact is some kind of reaper – All I had to do was to build a conveyer belt that could take the recently reaped bodies to the corpse chart. The engineer on top is one of the old handgunners from a previous WFB start kit.
Modelling the Auto Reaper was great fun, and I must say that I’m very impressed with the quality of the new corpse cart. Painting was done with comic book style in mind, looking for a colourful look – Very different from the dirty look of w40k.

Recursive least square (RLS) algorithms are considered as a kind of accurate parameter identification method for lithium-ion batteries. However, traditional RLS algorithms usually employ a fixed forgetting factor, which does not have adequate robustness when the algorithm has interfered. In order to solve this problem, a novel variable forgetting factor method is put forward in this paper. Comparing with traditional variable forgetting factor methods, it has higher stability and sensitivity by using some mathematic improvements. The improvements in the robustness of recursive least square with a variable forgetting factor (VFF-RLS) algorithm is verified in this paper. A Thevenin model which is frequently-used in battery management system is employed in the verification. A data loss battery working condition is designed to simulate the interference to the algorithm. A simulation platform is established in MATLAB/Simulink software, and the data used in the verification is obtained by battery experiments. The analysis indicated that the novel VFF-RLS algorithm has better robustness and convergence ability, and has an acceptable identification accuracy.
Although the demand of battery electric vehicle (BEV) growths fast as the requirement of reducing greenhouse gas emission and the usage of fossil fuels, the limited driving range and unfriendly retail price present barriers to BEV to provide comparable performance as a traditional vehicle. This paper proposes a dual-motor two-speed direct drive BEV powertrain to boost average motor operational efficiency in daily driving without increasing any complexity of manufacturing or control, ultimately, saving limited battery energy and manufacturing cost. The specifications of the proposed powertrain are first identified through mathematical and graphical calculations, which split traditional one propelling motor to two with separate permanent engaged gears to maximize the motor efficiency. Based on dynamic powertrain modeling in a Simulink/Simscape, economic shifting strategy, and dynamic torque transfer control are designed and tested. According to the simulation results, it is noticed that significant energy efficiency improvement can be achieved. Thanks to the optimized torque transfer control strategy, extremely low vehicle jerk are recorded during the shifting process. At last, conclusions can be made that the proposed dual-motor powertrain superior to the traditional single motor counterpart in terms of fuel economy, driving range, and cost.INDEX TERMS Dual motor, two speeds, electric vehicle, dynamic modeling, energy economy.
Rolling element bearings are widely employed in almost every rotating machine. The health status of bearings plays an important role in the reliability of rotating machines. This paper deals with the principle and application of an effective multi-sensor data fusion fault diagnosis approach for rolling element bearings. In particular, two single-axis accelerometers are employed to improve classification accuracy. By applying the improved detrended fluctuation analysis (IDFA), the corresponding fluctuations detrended by the local fit of vibration signals are evaluated. Then the polynomial fitting coefficients of the fluctuation function are selected as the fault features. A multi-sensor data fusion classification method based on linear discriminant analysis (LDA) is presented in the feature classification process. The faults that occurred in the inner race, cage, and outer race are considered in the paper. The experimental results show that the classification accuracy of the proposed diagnosis method can reach 100%.
A novel direct torque control (DTC) method based on sliding-mode-control (SMC) strategy is proposed for permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) which is used in electric vehicles (EVs). In order to improve the dynamic response time and enhance the robustness performance against the external loading disturbances and motor parameter's variation, a kind of SMC-based torque controller and speed controller are designed to regulate the torque angle increment and the speed respectively. The torque controller is designed based on a sliding mode controller with an asymmetric boundary layer to reduce the overshoot. Compared with other DTC methods based on space vector modulation (SVM) in the literature, the proposed DTC scheme adopts the asymmetric boundary layer SMC instead of the proportional-integral (PI) regulator. The simulation results have validated the effectiveness of the proposed SMC-based DTC method.
A new hybrid electric tracked bulldozer composed of an engine generator, two driving motors, and an ultracapacitor is put forward, which can provide high efficiencies and less fuel consumption comparing with traditional ones. This paper first presents the terramechanics of this hybrid electric tracked bulldozer. The driving dynamics for this tracked bulldozer is then analyzed. After that, based on analyzing the working characteristics of the engine, generator, and driving motors, the power train system model and control strategy optimization is established by using MATLAB/Simulink and OPTIMUS software. Simulation is performed under a representative working condition, and the results demonstrate that fuel economy of the HETV can be significantly improved.
Based on the real-time model and platform, a dynamic hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing method for the distributed powertrain of electric vehicle (EV) is proposed. Compared with static point testing, the dynamic HIL test can provide a more realistic working environment for the EV's distributed electric powertrain (DEP) early development. The test data of electric motor's efficiency and maneuver performance under a dynamic work condition are more authentic and meaningful. Meanwhile, the driver-vehicle-road real-time (DVRRT) model is set up to emulate the actual condition. The speed-tracking control method with proportional-integral (PI) gains tuned by the neuron network algorithm is used to generate the distributed real-time loads. Maximum adhesion limitation is added once the slipping is detected in the real-time model. Simulation and experiment of the test bench are done. The generated distributed load is compared with both the theoretical one and the simulated one in the Carsim software platform. Two comparisons show the similar results. The load accuracy is high, but there is a short time delay. The mechanical work measured by the experiment test bench is highly consistent (97.5%) with the theoretical value. As a result, the proposed test bench and its control method can be used for DEP efficiency test. Index Terms-Distributed electric powertrain (DEP), drivervehicle-road real-time (DVRRT) model, dynamic loading, dynamometer, hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) test bench.

Morihei Ueshiba and Morihiro Saito
Morihiro Saito, Rohnert Park,
California, September 2000
The process of technical diversification began in aikido even before the passing of its founder, Morihei Ueshiba. Among the tendencies prevalent in aikido today are the soft approach emphasizing circular or ki no nagare techniques of Doshu
Kisshomaru Ueshiba of the Aikikai Hombu Dojo, the so-called hard-style school of Yoshinkan Aikido headed by Gozo Shioda Sensei, the emphasis on the concept of “ki” of Shinshin Toitsu Aikido as espoused by Koichi Tohei Sensei, the eclectic system of Minoru Mochizuki Sensei of Yoseikan Aikido, and the sports aikido system which includes competition devised by Kenji Tomiki Shihan. To these must be added the unified technical curriculum formulated by 9th dan Aikikai Shihan Morihiro Saito. Saito Sensei’s approach stressing the interrelationship between taijutsu and bukiwaza (aiki ken and jo) has become a de facto standard for many aikido practitioners the world over. This has been due largely to the success of his many books on aikido techniques and extensive foreign travels.
Introduction to aikido
Morihiro Saito was a skinny, unimpressive lad of 18 when he first met Morihei Ueshiba in sleepy Iwama-mura in July 1946. It was shortly after the end of World War II and practice of the martial arts was prohibited by the GHQ. The founder had been “officially” retired in Iwama for several years although in reality he was engaged in intensive training and meditation in these secluded surroundings. Indeed, it was during the Iwama years during and after World War II that Morihei Ueshiba was in the process of perfecting modern aikido.
Among the handful of uchideshi of those poverty-stricken years were Kisshomaru Ueshiba, Koichi Tohei and Tadashi Abe. The young Saito was given little encouragement initially and had to endure the intensive, often painful training silently. Saito Sensei recalls the early days when suwariwaza practice on the dojo’s hardwood floor would continue endlessly leaving his knees bloodied and festering. To make matters worse, as a newcomer in the dojo he was on the receiving end of countless, vigorous techniques from the likes of sempai Koichi Tohei and Tadashi Abe.
Training at the founder’s side
Gradually however, his tenacity paid off and in a few short years Saito Sensei became one of the mainstays of the founder’s country dojo. Moreover, he had the advantage of being employed by the Japan National Railways on a 24-hour on, 24-hour off basis which left him with ample free time to spend at his teacher’s side. In addition to the hours he spent in the dojo, Saito Sensei would assist the founder in all aspects of his daily life including the performing of numerous chores and farm work. Although the work was demanding and Ueshiba a strict mentor, his reward was the unique opportunity of serving as the founder’s training partner particularly in the practice of the aiki ken and jo over a period of some 15 years. Morihei Ueshiba would usually train with weapons during the morning hours when regular students were unable to be present. Thus, it was partly due to his innate martial talent and perseverance, and partly due to his flexible work schedule that Morihiro Saito became the inheritor of Morihei Ueshiba’s technical legacy.
By the late 1950s, Saito Sensei had become a powerhouse and one of the top shihan in the Aikikai system teaching regularly at the Iwama Dojo in Ueshiba’s absence. Moreover, he began instructing on a weekly basis at the Aikikai Hombu Dojo in Tokyo starting in 1961 and was the only teacher besides the founder himself to be permitted to teach Aiki bukiwaza there. His classes were very popular and many Tokyo students would gather on Sunday mornings to practice taijutsu and the aiki ken and jo. When the founder passed away in April 1969, Saito Sensei became dojo-cho of the Iwama Dojo and also was entrusted with the caretaking of the Aiki Shrine Morihei Ueshiba had built nearby.
Publication of technical manuals and foreign travels
It was the publication beginning in 1973 of the first of what was to become a five-volume collection of Japanese-English technical books which established Saito Sensei’s reputation as the foremost technician among aikido shihan. These volumes contain hundreds of aiki techniques including taijutsu, aiki ken and jo and kaeshiwaza (counter techniques). These technical manuals introduced a classification system and nomenclature for aikido techniques which achieved wide acceptance. In addition, instructional films were offered to supplement the books and were enthusiastically received.

Your trees may be a risk to students, staff and the public on schools ground – here’s how to limit that risk
Between 5 and 6 people are killed by falling trees & branches most years. Also after the recent fining of Newcastle City Council after the unfortunate death of Ella Henderson after the collapse of a willow tree at her school, Gosforth Park First School on September 25, 2020, this has re-focused all schools to make sure they are monitoring the risks that trees on school grounds pose so that incident such as this don’t happen again.
Schools should make sure the trees on school grounds are not a health and safety threat by:
- Doing regular inspections – regular inspections should make sure any danger signs are found early and managed appropriately.
- Maintain your trees and plants – Regular maintenance of your trees and plants can reduce the likelihood of them becoming a future health and safety concern.
- Remove trees or plants a soon as necessary –In cases where a tree is deemed to be too risky to salvage, its complete removal may become necessary. It is crucial to carry out this task promptly once the risk has been identified.
- Education –Teach children about both the potential hazards and benefits of trees and make sure they understand why they should not approach any trees that could pose a health and safety risk.
- Carry out a regular tree risk assessment for your school estate –Following these three steps will assist you in creating a strategy to prevent trees from posing a danger to your staff and students. It will also provide a framework for addressing any potential worst-case scenarios.
Make an assessment of the hazards
A proficient individual should perform the tree hazard assessment. It is their responsibility to identify the tree’s location, thoroughly evaluate the potential hazards to the best of their ability, and precisely record their findings.
Risk assessments should be conducted every one-to-two years for educational sites as the risk is considered to be high. These assessments should involve a quick but meticulous examination of the tree, especially in the crown and around the base, to identify any visible defects. All trees categorized as high or medium risk should be documented, with their locations plotted on a site plan. Sound trees that pass formal inspection do not require any recorded documentation of their condition.
Propose remedial action
Prescribing remedial actions is the sole responsibility of a proficient individual. Proposals and priorities must be accurately documented to ensure that a specialist can easily comprehend the requirements. Remedial actions will be determined based on a comprehensive assessment of the hazards and risks posed by the tree.
