THE battle between Levi Johnston (above) and Sarah Palin isn't over yet. Johnston -- best known for impregnating the former vice-presidential candidate's daughter, Bristol -- "is shopping a book," his bodyguard/publicist, Tank, tells New York magazine.

Beltway types can't see the Republican contempt for their own base, because they share it. But Democrats are elitist for believing in evolution.
Palin's breathing was actually one of the things I noticed. She seemed to draw in a large gasp of air and then speak until that air ran out. She didn't use the ends of her sentences as breathing pauses. She didn't even take advantage of a comma pause. I think that was one of the things that made her speech seem like an audition for a high school play.

I have lived in a difficult family for years and you learn to send signals, code words, parables etc. to get your message out. The key to Sarah is the basketball analogy. First, she is not quiting the team. Second handing the gov. ball off was a brilliant move, so the team can score. Third keeping your play book a secret is just plan smart. The fact that the other side calls you, your team mates and families names is part of the game that a secure, quality player blocks out. Going around the country as a cheerleader for other players is not what Sarah is all about. She is a point-guard and she knows how to score and win and that is precisely what she intends to do.

No, the best evidence is that the brain of Ronald Reagan is controlling the Woman from Wasilla. Given how he died, or even how he seemed in the last few years of his presidency, this will not end well for SP.
OT: When the gay clientele of a New York bar staged a revolt against police harassment in June 1969 it sparked the awakening of the homosexual liberation movement. But 40 years on from the Stonewall rebellion, Britain's gay community is riven by a dispute over which should come first: politics or partying.
As thousands take to the streets of the British capital today for Gay Pride, which traditionally commemorates the US riots, critics hit out at Pride London for "depoliticising" the event and failing to feature its history in its literature or website.
Peter Tatchell, of the lesbian gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) human rights group, OutRage, and a patron of Pride London, condemned this year's slogan "Come and Play" as "totally anodyne" and accused the LGBT community of "huge apathy and complacency".

The AXLE of evil.
well this is a bit depressing - The acquisition of farmland from the world's poor by rich countries and international corporations is accelerating at an alarming rate, with an area half the size of Europe's farmland targeted in the last six months, reports from UN officials and agriculture experts say.
New reports from the UN and analysts in India, Washington and London estimate that at least 30m hectares is being acquired to grow food for countries such as China and the Gulf states who cannot produce enough for their populations. According to the UN, the trend is accelerating and could severely impair the ability of poor countries to feed themselves.
Today it emerged that world leaders are to discuss what is being described as "land grabbing" or "neo-colonialism" at the G8 meeting next week. A spokesman for Japan's ministry of foreign affairs confirmed that it would raise the issue: "We feel there should be a code of conduct for investment in farmland that will be a win-win situation for both producing and consuming countries," he said.

Britain is only halfway up the Happy Planet Index (HPI), calculated by the New Economics Foundation (NEF), in 74th place of 143 nations surveyed. The United States features in the 114th slot in the table. The top 10 is dominated by countries from Latin America, while African countries bulk out the bottom of the table.
The HPI measures how much of the Earth's resources nations use and how long and happy a life their citizens enjoy as a result. First calculated in 2006, the second edition adds data on almost all the world's countries and now covers 99% of the world's population.

London's busiest shopping streets were brought to a standstill as the annual Pride march dazzled onlookers with a flamboyant and colourful display.
Sarah Brown, the Prime Minister's wife, wore black, brightened up with colourful necklaces, to join the parade organised by lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender groups.
Mrs Brown was among the first group of marchers who were cheered as they walked along Oxford Street, followed by drag queens in huge blonde wigs and Union Flag outfits.
A light shower of rain, which fell before the parade started, cleared up by the time the march left Baker Street.

OT: The Foreign Office is to risk the wrath of homophobic regimes worldwide by encouraging British ambassadors to do more to support gay communities.
Chris Bryant, the new Foreign Office minister, who is gay, has started writing personal letters of congratulations to British diplomats who show public support for gay rights. He is praising them for such support even if it draws anger from national governments or local homophobic groups.
On the eve of today's Gay Pride March in London, Bryant sent handwritten letters of personal congratulations to three British ambassadors in eastern Europe after they were angrily accused by national governments of promoting gay rights.
He has also decided to ask British high commissioners in the Commonwealth to promote the rights of gay people, even though this will run contrary to the teachings of some local churches and governments.
Bryant would like to see gay rights addressed at the Commonwealth summit in November in Trinidad, due to be attended by the Queen and Gordon Brown.

oh dear - An investigation is under way in Australia over claims that navy sailors competed with each other to bed their female colleagues for cash prizes.
According to Channel Seven news, sailors on board HMAS Success put a cash value on each woman's head.
Sleeping with a female officer or a lesbian, or having sex in a strange place, won more money, the report said.
The Defence Department confirmed that a number of individuals had been sent back to Australia for interviews.
HMAS Success, which has a crew of 220, is currently on exercises in South East Asia.

This does not surprise me at all.

The Italian city of Venice has launched what is believed to be the most extensive, wireless internet system anywhere in Europe.
Ten thousand kilometres of cables have been laid, establishing wi-fi hotspots just about everywhere in the city.
The authorities spent around $15m (£9m) building the system.
It is fast - between 20 and 100 megabits per second - and for those who live there it is free. Tourists will need to pay about $7 a day.
Known for its ancient museums, art galleries and canals, Venice's mayor says the system will enable the development of e-commerce and cable television.

companies’ and lead interests’ war against ethanol as an
octane-boosting additive that could be mixed with gasoline
or, in their worst nightmare, burned straight as a replacement
for gasoline. For more than a hundred years, Big Oil has
reckoned ethanol to be fundamentally inimical to its interest, and,
viewing its interest narrowly, Big Oil might not be wrong.

Speaking of cars and marketing...
I once read where modern car marketing came from two of Ford's biggest failures: its 1956 campaign to advertise Ford safety features (sales went down) and the Edsel (hyped beyond belief and had no real niche).
After that, it was more important to tell consumers what they should buy, instead of finding out what they wanted to buy. Which may also be why so many Americans drive Japanese cars today.

"A competition has been announced to design a monument that will become a symbol of Ashgabat just like the Eiffel Tower in Paris or the Statue of Liberty in the United States," Ashgabat chief architect Bayram Shamuradov told the AFP news agency.
He said that the tower will be built in the centre of the city.
The country has revealed a number of ambitious projects for Ashgebat in recent months. They include plans for a "Palace of Happiness"; which would be a venue for weddings, and an "Olympic Village", for sporting events.

Egypt: See no strikes, hear no strikes, report no strikes
CAIRO, July 2, 2009 (MENASSAT) — With dozens of workers gripping the iron rod gate marking the entrance to the Tanta Flax and Oil Company, plainclothes state security grabbed, shoved and punched this American reporter. The workers began chanting as the reporter attempted to record footage of what was happening inside the factory.
“No, you are not allowed to see them. It is forbidden,” said the unnamed state security official who forced the journalist to return to Tanta’s train station.
Unsurprisingly, Egypt has no desire to have foreign journalists cover the workers' strike as it enters its second month, even if stopping them requires violence. Nassar Osman, who identifies himself as a spokesman for the workers, said he wants everyone to see what is going on here.
but the octane level of gasolines commercially available didn't require it
ok, tour's over. Time to do something. L8R.

happy birthday Kidnap! may you sip fine wine and enjoy the silken feel of your pearls.
remember those old sunoco pumps where you could dial in your own octane level?
“The people have not been paid in months, they aren’t getting their promised raises and now they are getting harassed by police because of the strike that is going on here,” he said. Osman was working with the state security officials in order to allow the journalist to enter the factory, but to no avail.
According to state security at the factory premises, a foreign journalist, irregardless of proper accreditation, must secure a “permission” consisting of a paper from the information ministry to enter the factory. However, the foreign press office in Cairo said that “there is no such paper. If the state security says no, then you can’t go in.”
Don't look at the workers
The incident highlights Egypt’s growing concern over the coverage of workers’ strikes and demonstrations in the country. Last year, in the Delta town of Mahalla al Kobra, tens of thousands of Egyptians went to the streets in support of the local textile factory workers who went on strike in demand of better wages to combat the rising costs of foodstuffs.

Here we have one called artillery weed (more commonly "popweed") that starts out little and pretty in early spring and quickly becomes this tangled mess of yuck that explodes its seeds all over hell.
but the octane level of gasolines commercially available didn't require it
Yes, but if you put more lead in your gas, you could market it as having more 'go' than your competitors' gas. So, you're right in that the gas that was marketed was a lot higher octane than the cars required.
But, what is really going on in Tanta? According to reports and workers' statements, a Saudi company purchased the factory this year from the Egyptian government. They promised an annual 7 percent salary increase, but since May, the workers have been conducting daily protests and an almost ongoing sit-in on the factory premises after their salaries did not come.
“We want our money,” said the worker, who asked not to be named due to security risks. He argued that all the workers are demanding are better means to survive and live their lives without worrying about making ends meet.
“We are not paid well and with the rising costs of things and food in Egypt, it is becoming extremely difficult for us to support our families, so we have taken to this action in an effort to show that we are prepared to fight for our rights,” he said.

In Tanta, with the workers holding strong, coverage of the strike has been limited to phone conversations with those inside the factory. With no end in sight for the workers' sit-in, it is difficult to gauge whether they will be successful or not.
“Look at what we achieved in building our own union,” says Mervat Hilal, a deputy of the tax collectors union, the country’s first private workers union. “We were able to create our own union and get our demands heard, so hopefully, others will follow suit,” she continues, pointing to the union established earlier this year and that has been praised as the first step toward guaranteeing workers rights.
The tax collectors held a similar sit-in at the Egyptian Parliament last year, demanding that their monthly salary be increased. With the government unwilling to budge, they formed a private union. It has been largely successful. Their monthly wages have increased from an average of 300 Egyptian pounds ($50) to over 1,200 Egyptian pounds monthly ($200).

cool - More than 8,000 artists and writers from all over Africa, as well as Brazil and the United States, are descending on Algeria for a huge cultural festival that kicks off this weekend and runs to July 20.
Algeria is hosting the Second Pan-African Cultural Festival at the request of the African Union, 40 years after the north African country staged the first such event, when several nations were still struggling for independence.
Brazil and the United States are guests at the giant festival, where more than 20,000 Algerian artists will also be taking part, according to Zouaoui Benhamadi of the Panaf II executive committee.
"Panaf is the biggest rally in the world of artists and intellectuals in the same place at the same time, which will include all facets of human culture," Benhamadi said.

CAIRO: European ministers must draw attention to the deteriorating state of democracy and human rights in Egypt during the next European Union (EU)-Egypt subcommittee on political matters, the Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Network (EMHRN) said in a press statement issued this week.
“The EMHRN believes the subcommittee on political matters is an opportunity for the EU to raise concerns on the human rights situation in Egypt and to call on the Egyptian authorities to abide by their commitments. It would therefore be extremely significant if each EU member state demonstrates its commitment to human rights and democracy through its participation at the highest level if possible [during] the subcommittee meeting,” EMHRN says in a letter addressed to ambassadors of EU members states in Cairo.
The subcommittee is due to meet on July 7, 2009 within the framework of the EU-Egypt Action plan adopted as part of the European Neighborhood Policy, a scheme whereby developing countries are offered financial assistance in return for undertaking political, economic, trade or human rights reform.

My motorhead brother had a friend who drove a Camaro whose motor was so tricked out, he had to go to the local airport to buy the properly octained gas for it.

It only runs too hot when I use gas that's too low in octane for the compression of the engine.

IIRC, it cost about $1.50 a gallon, back when regular gas was outrageously priced at about 55¢ a gallon.
In 1964, I filled up my Mom's 64 Cutlass S with a 330 4 bbl, 4 speed for .18 cents a gallon.

Why are conservatives such poor judges of character? How do they allow themselves to be taken in by people like Reagan, Nixon, the Bushes, and Palin?
I think it's basically because conservatives grow up in what Lakoff calls "strict father" families, and also they probably do not read very much; instead, relying on TV and radio for their "information," an abused term.

Yeah, the big problem is that it's not a cross flow head, so the carburettors sit right on top of the exhaust manifold. On hot days, the gas boils inside the carb bowls.

Hank Stuever, a staff writer, said, “Katharine should expect the journalists who work for her to be disappointed and upset about this and should also understand that the details so far have been unsatisfying.”
“The people I know in the newsroom are still waiting for a lot better answer to what the goal was here, what was really happening with this idea, and how it got so far along without raising red flags,” Mr. Stuever added.
The reporters, no doubt, are looking forward to the note in Sunday’s paper. But they are also staring down the prospect of serving as a punch line in Beltway circles for many years to come. The president’s press secretary, Robert Gibbs, has already obliged by wondering aloud at a news conference whether he could afford to take a question from Michael Shear, a Post reporter.

Incomplete combustion + source of ignition = dieseling
Both factors have to be present.
you can change the compression ratio easily in a prototype but in commercially available engines, changing the piston or the stroke length will cause problems elsewhere, of course
We are celebrating the Fourth, Cinco de Mayo style. - Uilleam
Bueno!
changing the combustion bowl volume will only create a marginal change in compression ratio
Must take care of Mrs. Caepan for a bit - she suffers from a tummyache. And on this, the second bestest eating holiday of the year. Tsk tsk.
bbl
ny point was that an engine is always hot after running, but if combustion is more or less complete, you won't get dieseling
in commercially available engines, changing the piston or the stroke length will cause problems elsewhere
I'll tell that to all of the vendors who sell aftermarket parts to modify old cars. I'm sure they'd be fascinated.

Generally you only do that to make it equal for each cylinder. You adjust the compression ratio with the pistons.

CAIRO: A coupe of days ago, Prime Minister Ahmed Nazif announced a new strategy to clean out 29 slums deemed “unsafe”, as part of a national project that will involve civil society in coordination with the local councils and the ministries of housing, finance and local development.
The project includes plans to contain the spread of these aashwa’i (random) housing settlements, to offer alternative land to residents in cases where the current slums cannot be rebuilt.
It all sounds too good to be true, especially if one were to take a look at the history of this phenomenon in Cairo alone.
According to UN-Habitat’s 2003 Global Report on Human Settlements titled “The Challenge of Slums” which includes a case study on Cairo, Cairo slums can be traced back to the explosive post-World War II population growth.

Fireworks called Run Hadji Run were pulled off the shelves of a Wisconsin store after Minnesota Muslims complained that they were racist.
The Minnesota chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-MN) said that both the name and the packaging are demeaning. One side of the package has a drawing of Uncle Sam yanking the long beard of a man in traditional Muslim attire, while the other shows a Stealth bomber flying over a group of Arabs riding camels. In addition, "Hadji" is an honorific for those who have completed the pilgrimage to Mecca.

The United States warned North Korea not to "aggravate tensions" today after South Korea said its neighbour had fired seven ballistic missiles in violation of UN resolutions.
The tests, seen as a message of defiance to the US on Independence Day, will further increase pressure in the region as America tries to gather support for tough enforcement of the UN resolution imposed on the communist regime for its May nuclear test.
US state department spokesman Karl Duckworth did not confirm the launches but described North Korea's behaviour as "not helpful".
"We are aware of possible missile launches by North Korea and are closely monitoring North Korea's activities and intentions," he said. "North Korea should refrain from actions that aggravate tensions and focus on denuclearisation talks. This type of North Korean behaviour is not helpful."

At least two US soldiers have been killed and four others injured in an attack on a military base in the Paktika province of eastern Afghanistan, officials have said.
The attack in the Zirok district on Saturday came as thousands of US marines were engaged in a major offensive against Taliban fighters hundreds of kilometres away in the southern Helmand province.
Lieutenant-Commander Christine Sidenstricker, a US military spokeswoman, said that the attack on the base in Paktika had also wounded another seven US troops and two Afghan soldiers.
"It was a complex attack that started with small-arms and indirect fire on the post, then an improvised explosive device went off," she said.

SPACE-TIME should have universe-sized snags called cosmic strings running across it, but none have yet been found. That could be because they broke into a tangle of smaller strings and beads soon after the big bang. The good news is that this would have created gravitational waves that could be detected on Earth.
Many theories predict the existence of cosmic strings. These topological defects in space-time, which can be larger than the observable universe, should have formed as the cosmos cooled from its hot beginnings. The imprint of their extremely high gravity was expected to be seen in the cosmic microwave background - the radiation left over from the big bang - or as gravitational lenses that bend distant light towards us. But no convincing evidence has been seen.

DEEP in the Atlantic forests of Brazil lives the muriqui - the world's most peaceful and egalitarian primate. Or is it? The cuddly reputation of the "hippy monkey" has taken a battering after a gang of six were spotted attacking and killing an adult male.
The victim, an old male, died an hour after receiving savage bites to his face, body and genitals. The observations, published this week in the American Journal of Primatology (DOI: 10.1002/ajp.20713), show how lifestyles may dramatically alter the behaviour of a species.
The muriqui's peaceful reputation stems mainly from northern populations that feed on abundant leaves, and where males patiently queue to mate with females.
But in the southern population where the attack took place, fruit is more widely available than in the north, and this may provide a clue to the assault, says Mauricio Talebi of the Federal University of São Paulo-Diadema, Brazil, who led the research.

They then used the sashes to form a giant chain around the plant and chanted slogans including; “Oi Ed Miliband, keep the carbon in the ground” and “Miliband, don’t be a silly-band.”
