1993 Ford Mustang LX - I Am Legend
Mustang Drag Racing Icon Mike Murillo Is Back With A New Twin-Turbo, 2,900HP, Big-Block Door-Slammer, And He's Poised To Win Another Championship.
In the world of big egos and big paychecks that is professional sports, adding an appendix to your legacy is a hairy endeavor. You could pull a Michael Jordan or a Lance Armstrong and pad an already impressive resume, or you might smack the canvas hard like Sugar Ray. Turn your vacillations into an ESPN soap opera la Brett Favre, and your adoring fan base could turn against you. Unretire every season like Roger Clemens, and your next "I'm back" speech will be as surprising as Clay Aiken's coming-out-of-the-closet announcement. Formidable risks notwithstanding, Mustang drag racing legend Mike Murillo has returned to competition after a five-year hiatus, and he's on a mission to pick up right where he left off. While it's too early to make predictions, don't be surprised if his last championship has yet to be won.
Considering the vast cross section of the hobby that HOT ROD envelops, there may be one or two readers who vaguely recognize Mike's name but can't put a finger on exactly who he his. This is hardly the case in the late-model Mustang and Outlaw 10.5 drag racing circuits, where the man is a bona fide legend. Mike's hoards of fans would probably turn down a date with one of John Force's daughters for the privilege of sweeping the floors at his shop. His long list of accomplishments include five Fun Ford Weekend Outlaw 5.0 championships, three Clash of the Titans titles, a World Ford Challenge shootout victory, and an NMRA Super Street Outlaw championship. Along the way, he's put former NHRA Pro Stock stalwarts like Bob Glidden on the trailer. No wonder legions of Mustang buffs simply refer to his San Antonio, Texas-based shop as The Vatican.
The journey to the big stage started out in the late '80s when Mike cruised the streets in his '77 Trans Am. After suffering chronic defeats to 5.0L Mustangs, he picked up an '89 GT convertible to even the playing field. A few simple bolt-ons coupled with some spray got it running low 13s in the quarter, and he eventually traded in the convertible for a lighter '89 LX coupe. Swapping over the convertible's entire driveline into the coupe pared e.t's down to the 12.80s, but for Mike, one power-adder wasn't enough. "My wife and I didn't make much money, but no one in Texas had a Vortech blower back then, and I had to get one," he explains. "I was so desperate that I got a bank loan behind my wife's back to buy a supercharger. To make the loan payments, I even opened up my own checking account to keep my wife from finding out. When the car only ran 12.60s at the track, I literally had tears in my eyes. I couldn't believe I lied to my wife, spent $4,500 on a supercharger, and only picked up two tenths."
Like any determined racer, Mike kept tuning and eventually worked the bugs out of the new combo. By late 1992, the car was running 11s on boost and deep 10s with the nitrous hooked up, making it one of the fastest 5.0L Mustangs in the country. At the time, Mike was paying the bills by working at a local auto parts store and started doing performance parts installs out of his garage to make a few extra bucks. "I started whooping up on cars at the street races, other racers asked me to help them out with their cars, and it just snowballed into a business," he quips. During the early stages of nurturing what would eventually become one of the best-known late-model Mustang shops in the country, Mike got his first taste of heads-up competition in 1993. He attended a local Fun Ford Weekend event and noticed most of the Outlaw cars were running mid-10s. By this time, Mike's Vortech-blown Mustang was clicking off 10.33 at 136 mph, so he igured his car could hold its own. "I'm a very competitive person by nature, and my car was hauling some ass at that time. I saw the e.t. 's these guys were running, and I turned to my buddy and said, 'We can beat these guys. '"
Mike was right. He won his class at his first FFW event in 1994 and went on to win the Outlaw championship that year. His car didn't just win, it dominated, and soon sponsorships started rolling in. "I borrowed a trailer and towed my car all the way to Bristol, Tennessee, in my wife's Taurus station wagon for the next race, and the transmission blew up as soon as we got there," he says, laughing. "Fortunately, we won that race in addition to the following event in Atlanta. People laughed at us when they saw us pull up in a Taurus wagon, but I said, 'You can laugh now, but I'll be the one who's laughing when I go home with all the money.' It was so much fun."
By 2002, Mike had tacked on to his record another nine championships in various racing series, but he sold his car and decided to take a break from racing. "I just needed to spend more time with my kids. Not only are you on the road a lot when you're racing, but you're also at the shop late at night every day working on the race car when you're in town," he confides. All the while, however, Mike was planning his comeback. He picked up his current '93 Mustang LX notchback as a rolling chassis six years ago with plans of returning atop the Outlaw 10.5 heap. Despite his ambitions, Mike was well aware that he'd have to seriously improve on the 7.40s he ran in his championship-winning '02 season to stand a chance. "I've always been pretty good at predicting what you'll have to run the upcoming season to be competitive. The NMRA Outlaw record e.t. in 2008 was 6.86, and the average e.t. for the class champion was 6.90. Our goal in 2009 will be running consistent 6.70s, because that's what it's going to take to win NMRA Outlaw 10.5."
Getting there will take loads of power, and like most of the big boys, Mike has some immense turbos up his sleeve. Unlike his peers, however, he attached them to a big-block that displaces 541 ci. It's topped with Trick Flow A460 aluminum heads and a single-plane intake manifold converted to EFI. A Comp 283/278-at-0.050 solid roller cam actuates the valves, and the twin 88mm turbos direct their 30 psi of boost to an air-to-water intercooler mounted in the rear seat area before it's routed back through the firewall and into the motor. Fueling duties are handled by an Aeromotive mechanical pump and Siemens 220-lb-hr injectors, and a BigStuff3 stand-alone EFI system controls the pulse widths. The result is 2,900 hp, and Mike figures he could get another 200 out of the setup with roughly 5 extra psi of boost. Backing it all up is an air-shifted ATI Powerglide trans.
To set up the chassis and suspension, Mike turned to Bill Buck Race Cars in Austin, Texas. Since the Mustang's 'cage became outdated over the course of the build, it was gutted and updated to modern 25.2 specs. The rest of the car's underpinnings are custom as well. Up front are BBRC spindles and lower control arms, and a custom four-link and 9-inch rearend reside at the rear. Even with 54 percent of the car's weight biased toward the front, the Mustang carries the front tires farther down the track than Mike would like. Nonetheless, the combo lays down stellar 1.15-second 60-foot times on 33x10.5-inch Mickey Thompson slicks.
If you think those brisk, short times hint at a blazing e.t., you're absolutely right. Mike is quick to point out that his new car hasn't won anything as of yet, but it's already turned the heads of plenty of concerned competitors. While 2008 was essentially a year in which to work out the new car's teething issues, team Murillo has already run a best of 6.70 at 219.33 mph, which set a new national record for the Clash of the Titans series last November. Furthermore, Mike edged out Pro Stock icon Bob Glidden with a 6.77 pass at a Pacific Street Car Association race in Las Vegas late last year, a clear indication that the man is still on top of his game. Plans for the '09 season include competing in FFW, select NMCA races, the World Street Nationals, the PSCA finals, and the Clash of the Titans series. However, Mike's top priority remains NMRA Outlaw 10.5, where he hopes to dip into the 6.60s at 225 mph during the season. Although it's impossible at this point to say whether he'll take home the championship, we have a hunch that many of his peers will be trying to be like Mike next season.
Quick Inspection: '93 Ford Mustang LXMike MurilloSan Antonio, TX
POWERTRAINEngine: The formula for making a dyno-proven 2,900 hp is a generous helping of boost and cubic inches. Based on an RDI block bored to 4.500 inches, the 541ci big-block Ford relies on a Scat 4.250-inch billet steel crankshaft, GRP 6.700-inch aluminum rods, and custom 9.2:1 JE pistons to fortify the bottom end. Up top, ported Trick Flow A460 aluminum castings fitted with 2.30/1.88-inch Ferrea valves route pressurized air to each cylinder. Valve events are managed by Jesel shaft-mount rockers and a custom Comp 283/278-at-0.050 solid roller cam with 0.824/0.793 lift ground on a 116-degree lobe-separation angle. Supplying 30 psi of boost are a pair of Precision 88mm turbos positioned right behind the grille. They're driven by gases funneled through a set of custom 1 7/8-inch headers, and spent fumes are eventually dumped right behind the front tires through 4-inch piping. On the cold side, boost from each huffer merges into a Y-pipe before being routed through the interior and into a Bell air-to-water intercooler mounted to the rear seat area. Air passes back through the interior and firewall into an Accufab 105mm throttle body and rear-facing intake elbow. They feed a ported Trick Flow single-plane intake manifold converted to EFI. Managing fuel flow are massive Siemens 220-lb-hr injectors, an Aeromotive mechanical pump, FAST fuel rails, and a Turbosmart regulator. Kotzur Racing Engines built the motor, and Mike fabricated the turbo setup and tuned the BigStuff3 computer.
Rearend: A Mark Williams 4-inch aluminum driveshaft spins a BBRC 9-inch rearend fitted with Strange 40-spline axles, 3.60:1 gears, and a spool.
CHASSISFrame: Bill Buck Race Cars built the custom 25.2 rollcage. It has been powerdercoated black for an extra-slick finish.
Suspension: Getting the chassis to hook is a custom four-link also built by Bill Buck. Santhuff front shocks, Afco rear shocks, and Hypercoil springs all around help manage weight transfer. The front control arms and spindles are custom BBRC pieces. A Flaming River steering rack guides the car down the track.
Brakes: The front drag brakes are from Strange, and the rears are from Aerospace. A Chrysler master cylinder pressurizes the fluid. Weld Alumastar forgings measure 15x4 in the front and 15x10 out back.
Tires: What Outlaw class rules limit in width is made up for in height. The rear Mickey Thompson slicks stand in at 33x10.5, and the fronts are 25x4.5.
STYLEBody: The '93 Mustang notchback Mike purchased six years ago is planned for Outlaw 10.5 and high-6-second e.t. 's. He's set on winning Outlaw 10.5 in 2009 and has a 6.70 already under his belt.
Interior: It's not supposed to be luxurious, but the interior is very clean for a race car. Bill Buck built the custom seat, and the driver faces a Grant steering wheel and a Racepak digital gauge set. Safety items include a Stroud harness and a Firefox fire system. Murillo Motorsports wired up everything.

Last weekend it was the world hardcourt bike polo championships in Seattle – the mother land of bike polo.
Unfortunately we couldn't make it out there despite qualifying…but some of our Euro friends did and hell they showed the rest of the world what Europe's got.
With 3 EU teams finishing in the top 5 and an absolute epic performance by French champions Call Me Daddy to take 2nd, making all those at home watching the live stream feel ever so proud – although the results also made us wished we'd gone out there even more.
The polo world order is definately changing. Polo has only been played seriously in Europe for the past 3 years, yet already it's taking a place at the top. This is only going to improve in the years to come and with the Worlds in Europe next year I'm predicting a home win!
Big pat on the back to East Van for taking this years crown, but massive congrats to Call Me Daddy, Iron Ponies, L'Equipe, DTGP, Polosynthese and Money Punch for repping EU hard.

News item: The tobacco industry is pouring money into defeating Prop 29, a June statewide ballot initiative to raise taxes on cigarettes to fund cancer research.
Reaction: I wish I didn't have to say it, but tobacco may be on the right side of this fight.
A couple huge caveats. Tobacco companies have a well-earned reputation for evil. Cigarette taxes make all the sense in the world for the state, since California needs the money and raising sin taxes can discourage unhealthy behavior.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
I don't smoke and don't like being around people who do. I've lost loved ones to smoking-related cancers. And if I were king, I'd tax these companies into bankruptcy.
So what's the problem?
Let me try to say this while holding my nose: This initiative is an example of how California gets budget and tax policy wrong.
It's a classic case of ballot box budgeting. The tax dollars don't go to the general fund. They don't even go to major health programs--which are starving for money. The taxes are put in a special trust funds that can't be touched by the legislature. The only way to change this is by another vote of the people -- which means only a person or interest with millions of dollars could make the change.
Our elected officials don't have a role in managing this money, so they can't use it for other purposes even if there's a more pressing need. Indeed the allocation of funds is specified by the initiative -- 60 percent to cancer research, 15 percent for research facilities, 20 percent to tobacco prevention and control, 3 percent for law enforcement.
This is good politics, but bad policy. These kinds of funding silos are a way of siphoning off state funds for causes that have famous or rich backers (Lance Armstrong has been a prominent supporter of this measure) while letting other broader program starves. Voters have decided to fund early childhood programs, mental health, and stem cell research in this way. Those programs remain robust -- while broad health programs for children and the elderly are gutted.
That's because they have initiative protection; programs approved by voters can't be changed except by another vote of the people. This initiative is actually better than most -- in that it does permit legislative amendments eventually, but only after 15 years. And only then if the committee overseeing the funds agrees. And only then if the legislature approves amendments by a 2/3 vote (adding yet another supermajority into a California governing system that is choked with supermajorities).
Indeed, this measure is a good example of why we need an initiative reform that requires any initiative that establishes a supermajority to pass by that supermajority.
A political prediction: Californians may not give this 2/3, but it's a fairly good bet to pass. it would be a tougher fight if voters realized the nasty choice they were being given: Vote yes and adopt a terrible policy that makes budgeting even worse, or vote no and side with evil companies.
Are "Wimps" Blocking High Speed Rail?
Colorful language in new video released by Jerry Brown allies
Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger once famously compared California legislators to "girly men" during a budget fight.
Gov. Jerry Brown's labor supporters are now employing similar language, suggesting that opposition to the state's embattled high speed rail system is a matter of spinelessness.
"Wimps didn't build California", the new YouTube video says in part.
Developed for the California Alliance for Jobs, the three-and-a-half minute video was released on the same day that the High Speed Rail Commission approved a new business plan for the project.
That vote sends the plan to the legislature, where the project---which has drawn fire due to cost and ridership projections--faces a crucial vote this summer.
The theme seems appealing to the governor, who--Schwarzenegger-like--told KGO Radio on Friday that lawmakers should "man up" and make necessary budget cuts.
On the broadcast, he defended the high speed rail project.
The timing of the video in coordination with the commission vote marks an escalation of a campaign by the governor's supporters to counter negative publicity from legislative critics, as well as questions raised by the state auditor. Brown has been an outspoken supporter of the project.
The video uses a clip from his most recent State of the State address, in which he asserts that California citizens don't want to back away from the project.
"I know this state and the spirit of the peoplewho chose to live here," Brown said in the speech excerpt. The YouTube video compares the conflict to previous disputes over building the Golden Gate Bridge, the Central Valley Project, BART, and the Los Angeles Metro transit system.
The video says that the High Speed Rail project would provide "tens of thousands" of construction jobs, reduce dependence on fossil fuels, and cut greenhouse gas emission "by 3 and a half million tons annually."
Critics in the legislature are vowing to seek another statewide vote to see if the public has had a change of heart. California voters approved $9 billion in bonds as seed money in 2008.

My blog and I happen to share the same birthday. Although the day has officially finished, the early morning hours find me still at my computer. Until an hour ago Google was still displaying the Happy Birthday, Natasa doodle:
Awfully nice of Google if you ask me.
Traditionally on this day I look back at the year behind me and create a "sneeze post" where I list everything I wrote the year before. I didn't write that much last year, but I somehow managed to create 12 posts. Here they are:
As always, the beginning of the year is devoted to EVO sessions. Like this year, in 2013 I also attended five. In Time to Fess Up I tried to explain how I was planning to "juggle five balls" and why I thought this was a good way to learn. This blog was what kept it all together. It helped me see connections between courses. I am doing the same thing again and I am going to blog about my experience.
By providing the link to My Blog is Five Years Old I am trying to cheat you into reading last year's retrospective of my 2012 posts.
Week 2 - Declare, Where is (you guessed) about Week 2 of 2013 EVO sessions. In the meantime I had thrown into the mix a couple of very interesting MOOCs and I had made my mind where I wanted to participate actively and where I just wanted to sample.
In Tales of the Unexpected I had already started to synthetise my various learning experiences. One course that got most of my attention was E-learning and Digital Cultures. If you go to my post, you will be able to get a glimpse of what this course was like. I also shared this Prezi that was to serve as my mini portfolio:
On Metaphors, the Future and the Way We Are Wired is a fun post to read (even if I am saying so) because it contains a couple of digital stories I created that week, a great SF short video (from E-learning and Digital Cultures), Gardner Campbell's inspiring keynote and a Slideshare on edupunk that I found in the MultiMOOC wiki archives. I somehow mixed it all together.
What Makes Us Human is the last installment of my exciting five week learning journey. Again there are digital stories I created that week - several images and an Animoto SF story that I am very proud of.
Then interesting things started happening to me. In March I was sent to Slovenia as one of the two official representatives of ELTA Serbia. There I met two of my online friends face to face for the first time - Shelly Terrell and Sasa Sirk. Here's my account of the conference. I tried to go into as much detail as possible to give the people who were not present an idea about what it was like.
In May I presented on the Virtual Round Table Conference and also participated in a SEETA Webchat. I wrote about that here.
Seven Reasons Why Educators Should Blog is a post I wrote as homework for a writing MOOC I participated in. I worked very hard on this post to make it as presentable as possible and I did a lot of research. I also put my heart into it.
How I Became a Teacher is (of course) a story about how I became a teacher. It was an answer to a blogging challenge.
In October I presented at the Reform Symposium and I announced it here. Here's the link to my Reform Symposium profile.
Probably the most important post I wrote last year is this one. It announces the beginning of a blogging project that a couple of us started on SEETA. At the moment we have a small but active community of bloggers there and the seeds of an ebook that should, if all goes as planned, be of some help to new and wannabe bloggers.
As you can see, a lot of things have been happening outside this blog - the online conferences, various MOOCs, the seeds of my SEETA project. However, I believe that this blog, this six-year-old child of mine has made a lot of this possible. Not only did it hold everything together by helping me think and reflect, but it provided new opportunities and new connections.
Thank you, blog.

Loratadine, sold under the brand names Claritin and Claritin-D (which contains loratadine plus pseudoephedrine), is an over-the-counter antihistamine medication.
The drug is often used to treat nasal allergies (allergic rhinitis) and hives (urticaria).
Antihistamines work by blocking the release of histamine, a chemical your body naturally produces when it is exposed to something that causes an allergic reaction.
Loratadine was originally approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 1993 and was originally manufactured by Bayer Healthcare.
People who are allergic to the drug's active ingredient (loratadine) or any other components in the drug should not take loratadine.
Those born with the rare condition phenylketonuria should also avoid loratadine.
If you have severe kidney disease or poor liver problems, talk to your doctor before taking loratadine.
Loratadine is a pregnancy category B drug, which means it is should not cause harm to an unborn child.
Regardless, you should tell your doctor if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant before taking this or any other medication.
You should also alert your physician if you are breastfeeding or plan to breastfeed. It's not recommended that breastfeeding mothers take this medication.
Because loratadine does not tend to cause as much as drowsiness as Benadryl (diphenhydramine), it may be used for dogs with allergies, if your veterinarian approves its use.
Before giving loratadine, make sure that your dog does not have liver disease and is not taking any other antihistamines or medications like cimetidine, erythromycin, or ketoconazole, which may interact with loratadine.
Ask your veterinarian what dose is safe for your dog.
It's also a good idea to give your dog either only the capsules or tablets because the alcohol in the liquid form of loratadine may be too strong for your dog.
Loratadine is not known to have many major drug interactions.
However, it's still important to share with your doctor and pharmacist all prescription, non-prescription, illegal, recreational, herbal, nutritional, or dietary drugs you're taking.
You should not take loratadine if you are taking Ranexa (ranolazine).
Also, before taking loratadine, first talk to your doctor if you are taking any of the following:
Because both alcohol and loratadine may cause drowsiness, along with dry mouth and dry eyes (which may blur vision), you should avoid drinking alcohol while taking loratadine.
Loratadine and grapefruit juice are both broken down in the liver the same way, so there's a small chance of adverse effects when both are taken at the same time.
Talk to your doctor or pharmacist about drinking grapefruit juice if you are taking loratadine.
Loratadine comes in capsules, tablets, and as syrup. Loratadine should not be given to children under that age 6.
You should not take more than 10 milligram (mg), which is one tablet or capsule and two teaspoons of syrup a day of loratadine, unless directed by your doctor.
People who take more than the recommended 10 mg of loratadine a day are at greater risk of severe sleepiness, racing heartbeat, and headaches.
Children who take more than the recommended 10 mg of loratadine may actually start to move and behave similarly to people who have Parkinson's disease.
If you suspect an overdose, contact a poison control center or emergency room immediately. You can get in touch with a poison control center at (800) 222-1222.
If you miss a dose of Loratadine, try to take it as soon as you remember.
However, if it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed dose and resume your regular dosing schedule. Don't double up to make up for a missed dose.
A: Medications should not be used past the expiration dating printed on the packaging. Medications can lose potency and/or become unsafe to take once past their expiration date. Always read and follow the complete directions and warnings on over-the-counter medications and discuss their use with your health care provider before using them.
A: According to the available literature, weight gain and "feeling puffy" were not commonly reported side effects of loratadine. If you have been experiencing a feeling of puffiness or unexplained changes in weight, with no changes in diet or activity level, you may want to contact your health care provider to determine the cause. For additional information regarding loratadine you may want to visit our Web site: //www.everydayhealth.com/drugs/loratadine.
A: Loratadine is a "non-drowsy" antihistamine that reduces the natural chemical histamine in the body. Histamine can produce symptoms of sneezing, itching, watery eyes, and runny nose. Loratadine is used to treat the symptoms of allergies, such as sneezing, watery eyes, and runny nose. It's also used to treat skin hives and itching in people with chronic skin reactions. There are other non-drowsy antihistamines on the market, both as over-the-counter and as prescription medications. Some people find that one works better for them than another. If your symptoms persist despite treatment, consult your health care provider. You may also find helpful information at //www.everydayhealth.com/drugs/loratadine. Sarah Lewis, PhamrD
A: Your question concerns possible side effects of Alavert [loratadine]. (//www.everydayhealth.com/drugs/loratadine) Headaches are a frequently occurring minor side effect of Alavert. It is always a good idea to check with one It is always a good idea to check with one..
A: Loratadine is in a class of medications called antihistamines. Loratadine works by blocking the action of histamine, a substance made in the body that causes allergy symptoms. Sometimes sinus headaches are caused by allergies. When allergies lead to sinus headaches, an antihistamine, like loratadine may be used. Dry nose and dry mouth are side effects reported in some patients who take loratadine; however, loratadine is less likely to cause these side effects compared with some other antihistamines.
A: Loratadine (Claritin) is a second generation (non-sedating) antihistamine. Allegra (fexofenadine) is also a second generation (non-sedating) antihistamine. Both are used for the treatment of allergy symptoms. Loratadine and Allegra are in the same class of medications so they are very similar but they are not the same drug. Some patients may respond better to one medication over another or have different side effects when switching from one to another. When your doctor prescribes a new medication, be sure to discuss all your prescription and over-the-counter drugs, including dietary supplements, vitamins, botanicals, minerals, and herbals, as well as the foods you eat. Always keep a current list of the drugs and supplements you take and review it with your health care providers and your pharmacist. If possible, use one pharmacy for all your prescription medications and over-the-counter products. This allows your pharmacist to keep a complete record of all your prescription drugs and to advise you about drug interactions and side effects. Tell your health care provider about any negative side effects from prescription drugs. You can also report them to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration by visiting www.fda.gov/medwatch or by calling 1-800-FDA-1088. Laura Cable, PharmD., BCPS
A: Headaches are a frequently occurring, minor side effect associated with Alavert (loratadine) treatment. It is always a good idea to check with your health care provider if you experience bothersome side effects from a medication. Your doctor may be able to recommend a change in the time of dosage or possibly add a headache medicine to your regimen. Please consult your health care provider for further guidance in your specific case. //www.everydayhealth.com/drugs/loratadine Gregory Latham, RPh
A: As far as blood in the stool, loratadine is not really known to cause this. You may want to talk to your doctor about this so that they can determine the cause. Perhaps a hemorrhoid could be causing the blood, especially since you have been lifting heavy buckets and could have strained the rectum. The best thing would be for you to speak with the doctor. Megan Uehara, PharmD
A: Loratadine (Claritin) is an antihistamine that can be used for the temporary relief of runny nose, sneezing, itchy eyes, watery eyes, and itching in the back of the throat due to hay fever or other upper respiratory allergies. Loratadine works by blocking histamine in the body. Histamine is the chemical in the body responsible for creating the symptoms of allergies. Loratadine may also be used to treat hives. Some of the side effects that may occur with loratadine include headache, fatigue, and dry mouth. Loratadine is dosed once daily. Loratadine can be taken at any time of day, but should only be taken once every 24 hours. Loratadine usually does not cause drowsiness. However, if loratadine is taken more than recommended, drowsiness can occur. People who have kidney disease should consult their health care provider before taking loratadine to see if a dose adjustment may be needed. Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should consult with a health care provider before using loratadine. Because loratadine is an antihistamine, and may cause lung secretions to become dry, people with breathing difficulties including asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) may want to check with their health care provider before taking loratadine. There is no time limit mentioned on how long a person can take loratadine in the medication information. Please consult with your health care provider to see if daily dosing of loratadine is appropriate for you. For more specific information, consult with your doctor or pharmacist for guidance based on your health status and current medications, particularly before taking any action. Kristen Dore, PharmD

Acumem has launched ThreadSpotter 2010, an updated version of a tool that "suggests" ways to improve performance by reducing cache pollution. Applications often fill the caches with data that is never reused before being evicted, and that therefore does not benefit from caching. ThreadSpotter finds the locations in the code responsible for this cache pollution and suggests ways to avoid allocating cache space for the data. This is designed to improve performance by leaving more cache space for other data structures that do benefit from caching, and for other threads and applications that share the caches in multicore systems.
ThreadSpotter 2010 also works with OpenMP and can analyze MPI applications. Release 2010 also brings a speed up of the sampling of multithreaded applications. Acumem claims speed ups of heavily multithreaded applications by more than 10 times. This furthers improves the usability of the tool, especially when working with heavily threaded applications.

Metal Lyrics: A Race to the Bottom?
I love art that shocks just for the simple shock value and the awkward looks I get from people when I mention enjoying things like "Fanta Claus" and "Postal 2." So it goes without saying that I've done my fair share of listening to bands with lyrical themes glorifying every single perversion and depravity imaginable. But once you've pushed things to the crudest and most vulgar level possible, you hit a wall and say to yourself, "Wow, this is completely fucking pointless."
Yes, I've been there. I've listened to Aryan Terrorism's xenophobic calls for violence. I've sung along to the homophobic hate hymns of Impaled Nazarene and The Meat Shits. I've even praised the lyrics of Rupture Christ and Woods of Infinity with the term, "Pedo to the metal!" Looking back on all that now, it just seems beyond juvenile since intentionally upsetting people and violating taboos doesn't do anything productive. Getting knee-jerk reactions out of people doesn't make you more enlightened just because you aren't bothered by the things that other people would prefer not to think about. At some point, you need to move past The Death of God and onto the Reevaluation of All Values. Yes, reality is filled with all sorts of horrible things but that hardly means that the most horrific are the most real and the most terrifying are the most true. More...

ALLENTOWN, PA -- City officials in Allentown, PA, have a little egg on their face after a club that they touted on a city-sponsored blog abruptly shut down.
Daro's Extreme Fitness packed up its equipment and shut its doors over the weekend, according to the Allentown Morning Call. Allentown Mayor Ed Pawlowski hosted a ribbon-cutting at the club in March, which prompted a post to the Allentown Economic Development Corp.'s Allentown Good News blog on March 28. The post was titled "Daro's Extreme Fitness Opens on Hamilton Street with Hot Steaming Deal."
The "hot steaming deal" the city referred to was Extreme Fitness's $99 yearly membership special, which prompted Joyce Marin, the city economic development director, to urge readers to "run to check it out."
Marin said in a comment on the blog after the club closed that she herself had lost her membership fee. "I guess anything that sounds too good to be true, generally is," she wrote.
Marin told the newspaper that an Extreme Fitness official indicated to her that the club would be refunding money to those who held memberships and that the club closed due to problems with the landlord.However, a spokesperson with the Pennsylvania Attorney General's office told the newspaper that the club does not appear to be registered with the office. Health clubs are required to register with the attorney general's office if they accept prepaid memberships of three months or more, the spokesperson said.

Wait, scratch that — apparently, Waris loves us. Kind of. We flipped for the Lookmatic x Loeffler Randall collaboration, and now Waris Ahluwalia joins Lookmatic in a capsule collection, "Waris Loves You," that's got an arrow pointed straight at our tickers.

There is a problem with wagons, and that problem is this: For most of America, they are Dork Central.
Acura 2011 TSX Sport Wagon
An affordable, thoroughly modern hauler that doesn't make you feel like Clark Griswold. Chassis dances. Looks the business. Just ,350 more than its sedan counterpart.
No manual transmission. Nav system is frustratingly unintuitive. Your mother will probably like it.
How We Rate
- 1/10A complete failure in every way
- 2/10Sad, really
- 3/10Serious flaws; proceed with caution
- 4/10Downsides outweigh upsides
- 5/10Recommended with reservations
- 6/10Solid with some issues
- 7/10Very good, but not quite great
- 8/10Excellent, with room to kvetch
- 9/10Nearly flawless
- 10/10Metaphysical perfection
Some of us — those raised on old Chevy Nomads and five-door BMW M5s — take issue with this. Some people take so much issue, in fact, that they embrace the dorkiness with both arms, driving wagons as a low-level form of civil disobedience. (A friend of mine in San Francisco is currently stuffing a Ford V-8 into his Volvo 245 simply because he thinks it's funny. He is not wrong.)
Regardless, wagons make sense. For most people, sense-making is not cool. Sense-making is the IKEA parking lot and two car seats in back, and no one ever got laid because their cam-lock furniture screamed rebel hellion. (Side note: This is an injustice. Am I the only one who thinks Billy the Bookcase is a sexy mother?)
Blame the moms of the pre-SUV world, many of whom carted their brood around in sensible, dead-eyed land yachts. But the last generation to grow up in wagons — the children of the Reagan administration — is now in its car-buying twenties. The SUV has essentially displaced the wagon as family transport of choice. Into this high-riding, four-wheel-drive fray dives the low-slung 2011 Acura TSX Sport Wagon. And it is most decidedly cool.
As Honda — Acura's parent company — tells it, this is an experiment. Wagons haven't sold well in America for years, and the Big H expects to move just 4,000 TSX Sport Wagons here annually. For perspective, consider that Acura sold 3,824 examples of its MDX SUV in May of 2011 alone. The goal, it seems, is to figure out whether or not Americans will actually pony up for a premium, European-style sport hauler. Because the TSX is essentially a rebadged version of the European Honda Accord, this can be done cheaply, without racking up huge development costs. And because most journalists love wagons — insert obligatory 550-hp Cadillac shout-out here — Acura was virtually guaranteed positive press.
Good-looking, fun-to-drive wagons are thin on the ground in this country, and we should be glad the TSX five-door exists.
The best part is, the TSX wagon deserves it. For $31,820, you get a good-looking hauler that offers a spacious, modern interior and a strong, efficient powertrain. The TSX sedan's 2.3-liter, 201-hp four is the only engine choice. It comes bolted to a five-speed automatic and cranks out a respectable 22/30 mpg city/highway. As with the TSX four-door, the back seat is comfortable for full-size adults and the chassis is a nimble, corner-dancing companion on winding roads. You tend to forget that the TSX's ample rump is there, so willingly does the car bound and leap over twisty pavement.
Still, every wagon is defined by its wayback, and this one is no exception. The rear cargo area will swallow 61 cubic feet of stuff with the seats folded, 26 with them up. The rear load floor is flat, and there are tie-down points out the wazoo. Thanks to all the rear glass, visibility is even decent. You could ask for more than this, but you'd probably be asking too much.
There are negatives: You don't get access to the TSX sedan's excellent 3.5-liter, 280-hp V-6. This pays off in fuel economy, but sometimes leaves you wanting for low-end grunt. For cost reasons, there is no manual-transmission option, no available all-wheel drive. And if you live outside a major metro area, you will probably have to special order a car; with just a few thousand Sport Wagons allocated for U.S. consumption, rural dealers are unlikely to stock them.
All in all, though, none of that really matters. Good-looking, fun-to-drive wagons are thin on the ground in this country, and we should be glad the TSX five-door exists. Honda's grand experiment will likely fail — crossovers and small SUVs are too hip now to be replaced by such a subtle beast — but that's beside the point. Several thousand people are going to buy these things, forgetting what wagons once were and dwelling instead on what they could be. If the rest of the country doesn't get it, that's just their loss.

We are considering getting a second cavalier puppy as a companion for our 13 month old cavalier Sally. We met a local breeder at crufts who has recently mated two of her dogs and is waiting to see if the bitch has taken which she should know at the end of the month. It will likely be the very beginning of August before these pups are ready for their new home if it is to be. My concern is how easy is it to house train a second dog? I'm worried that Sally might go backwards if she witnesses the puppy having an accident in the house and that Sally might think its ok for her to do it :eek:. Sally is fully house trained now. What are other members experiences of getting a second dog as a puppy?

f-28 is a serial communication error. either your main cntrl or motor control is going to be bad. hard to say which one without a multi meter and the machine in front of me though.
If your OHM meter is set to RX1 then the motor is bad. Infinite readings on the motor windings mean a bad motor, according to the Tech Sheet. Have you run the Diagnostic tests mentioned in the tech sheet yet?
Jimbo is this one of them reversing dryers with 3 phase dc motor?
My dryer just quit working It gives me just one error code f-28. Model Number: wfw8500sr0
Scott, you'll find the MCU on the floor in the left front corner, part # W10163007It may also need to be replaced if the motor went out. Try to go to the motor and make sure none of the small wires going to it are damaged. I have replaced a lot of harnesses between the MCU and the motor before due to broken wiring on the connector harness.
Now that you have access to the motor, unplug the harness and verify the motor windings again while directly in front of the motor, not from the CCU harness. See if it still shows the same readings as before.
Don't know about you, but I'd be on my way out to my truck to fetch a new MCU. The motor is OK, just be sure the tiny wires on the connections to it are ok.
The last time I checked, Hawaii is still America, so shipping is a moot issue Follow this link to order the motor control, part # W10163007

Posted by Editor on 12/6/13
Canadian west coast clothing company Sombrio announced late last week that it was halting business operations. Company President and founder Dave Watson said in a posting on their website (which has since been removed) that an ambitious expansion program was more expensive than planned, plus the departure of an investor, has forced them to halt business while they search for a new investor or purchaser.
Sombrio has become known for their mountain bike clothing, casual wear and footwear.
The full text of the statement:
Dear friends, fans, and people of the global Sombrio circle,
We have some very difficult news to share with you, but first a little history.
Our customers and fans, love the innovations and products that Sombrio bring to market each year, and we thank you for this. This brand is the result of the dedicated riders past and present, so hats off to all of you. Back in 2011 and in an effort to grow with market demand, and share our vision with a broader audience, we sought out consultants to help us flourish.
The consultants had a grand vision of making Sombrio into a big company very fast with a network of our own retail stores. It seemed almost too good to be true but they were convinced it would work. In 2012 we raised funds from an investor, added staff to a great team, invested in systems, products, and began to execute on this growth strategy.
Sadly, it went sideways, as the retail expansion plan was way more expensive to execute than we were led to believe, barred with issues, and stores never opened. In an attempt to bridge the void, and re-kindle stability our family and primary investor stepped up. Our team re-aligned on our core channels, and worked tirelessly to good result.
However, even with all the positives achieved this year from our team, and a great season mapped for next - the perils of failed expansion has left the company with a significant gap - and one the investors have just weeks ago bowed out.
With these challenges we're in an incredibly painful position in that we have to pause or halt business until we find a way forward, or a buyer. Granted, our door is still open, and were operational, our future is quite uncertain.
We want to thank everyone that has supported us and we apologize to anyone that may be disrupted in the process. We do remain optimistic Sombrio will land on its feet. We hope you understand that we did, and are doing everything during these tumultuous times to see Sombrio continue to live and breathe the two wheel culture.
Sombrio's future will need someone with the resources, expertise and vision to continue bringing Sombrio's innovative, high performance riding apparel to a huge market looking for an alternative to the status quo. We look forward to finding that white knight, rebuilding our team and making a charge for the peak.
Sincerely Dave Watson, Founder & President
If you're a dealer, and are concerned with your 2014 pre-season order, or have press related inquires please email us, and keep in the loop at firstname.lastname@example.com.

My blog is going to be super fun this year...packed with cards & projects, life photos, and fun randomness! I can't wait!! Just to give you a peek into how January is going to work....I am going to focus on New Year's and Winter until January 7th. Then that kicks off the week before my 30th birthday....a birthday number that I am not that excited about. BUT...I am going to look on the bright side and just have fun, and remember that I don't even look CLOSE to the age of 30! Tee hee! I am going to focus on birthday themed items for that week...and then after January 14th, my focus will be on Valentine's and Love for a whole month! I am sure I will slip other type of projects in too....but that is what my focus is for January, and half of Feb. I hope you will join me!
I have a couple cards to share with you today. I think they seemed fitting! ;) This first card is based on this week's sketch at The Sweetest Thing.... Love this one!
Instructions: Fold aqua cardstock in half to make card base. Round the corners of a block of patterned paper and adhere to the front. Add black paper frill to the bottom of a strip of paper and adhere to the front. Cut "brand spankin' new" at 2 1/4" using the Graphically Speaking cartridge and black cardstock. Cut the arrow layers from aqua cardstock and layer together. Adhere the cut to the front of the card. Add a strip of tropic satin dot ribbon right below the sentiment. Cut the "rocket" at 1 1/2" using Stand And Salute cartridge and black cardstock. This cartridge doesn't provide layers, so cut again twice at 1" from red & yellow glittered cardstock. Cut off the section you want and layer to the original cut, and adhere to the front. Cut "year" at 2" using the Designer's Calendar cartridge and pink cardstock (script feature). It's original cut says "leapyear", so cut off the portion you don't need, and adhere the other part with dimensional adhesive. Add a bow to the right side of the card, and accent with a button, jewels, and pins.
This next card was done for a few challenges! The current sketch challenge at The Pink Elephant, the Digging Deep challenge at 365 cards (I have had all this product forever, and I have never used ANY of these Cricut cuts), The Blackout challenge at Just Buggin' and the New Beginnings challenge at Daring Cardmakers. I never in a million years thought I would actually use the Hannah Montana cartridge when I pulled it out of a box from Provo Craft, unless they gave me an assignment for it. But, upon looking through it recently...it is awesome! There isn't much actually related to Hannah Montana, and the fonts are fabulous....like this star one!
Instructions: Fold black cardstock in half to make card base, and round the bottom corners. Round the bottom corners of a block of white flocked paper and adhere to the front. Punch a border to striped paper and adhere to the front. Cut the star at 2 1/2" using the Home Decor cartridge and yellow cardstock. Adhere to the front. Cut the glass at 2 1/2" using the Stretch Your Imagination cartridge and white shimmer cardstock (blackout feature). Cut the layers from yellow and black glittered cardstock. Layer together, accent with a jewel, and adhere to the front. Cut the letters at 1" using the Hannah Montana cartridge and black cardstock (rockstar option). Adhere to the front. Accent the card with star jewels.
So, did you have a great New Years Eve? We had a blast at home!! We had garlic chicken alfredo tomato pizza and champagne....we played around with slow shutter speeds on our camera while pouring the champagne....cuddled with the pups....watched football and the Red Bull No Limits thing on ESPN.....watched the movie "9" (totally weird)....and took photos together using the self timer. I was learning so much about photography last year, that I slacked on photographing our life together. I have a resolution to do that much more this year...the little moments, and big moments. So, you will be seeing more photos too! :) Here are some from our new years! And I am proving to myself that it is okay to show people photos straight out of the camera. All of these have no adjustments, other than the frame border and a quick unsharp mask in PS. I am pretty happy with how they turned out!
I have to laugh a little about the first photo collage of Bailey & Sadie. That is normally all I get from Bailey...the yorkie. He HATES the camera. So, I have to either be really quick when shooting a photo of him, or just deal with what he gives me. In the family photo...I set a treat on the camera. He totally gets it....Sadie is clueless. Tee hee!
And I don't think I ever showed you my Christmas decorations!! Here is just a small look....because I took these last night! Just of my tree and one of my table decorations. Hope you like them!
Well, 2010 is going to be a fabulous year....I can just tell!! I will be back soon with some more Winter themed projects!! Enjoy your New Year's!! ♥
Until later,

Cheers and jeers and even more credibility lost for the Maxim Hot 100
So once again, the men's magazine Maxim has released it's special Hot 100 issue. And once again, it's got some good, some bad and some rather unbelievable.
As a photographer in Pittsburgh, my native city, I often work with models and entertainers from around the region and enjoy the opportunity to see what the major national and international magazines choose to convey as the concept of beauty. Sometimes I agree, sometimes I don't. With that in mind, here's my personal assessment of this year's collection of what Maxim considers some of the most beautiful women on Earth.
Cheers to the magazine for the inclusion of:
#96 Kellie Pickler
#95 Zoe Deschanel
#88 Elisabeth Harnois
#73 Katherine McPhee
#72 Jessica Chastain
#64 Candice Swanepoel
#60 Stana Katic
#56 Emmy Rossum
#45 Naya Rivera
#44 Sarah Highland
#40 Julianne Hough
#39 Lea Michele
#37 Amanda Seyfried
#29 Ronda Rousey
#21 Emma Stone
Jeers to the magazine for the inclusion of:
#83 Kat Dennings
#69 Manti Te'o's Fake Girlfriend
#49 Sofia Vergara
And about 10-15 women I've never heard of.
Snubs and others who could have been included:
Carrie Underwood
Tracey Spiridakos
Melissa Benoist
Miranda Kerr
Lily Collins
Megan Massaacre
Any one of the female pros on Dancing With the Stars
Good and bad calls on positioning within the top 100:
While I applaud the selections of Killie Pickler and Zoe Deschanel, both should be in a higher spot. And although Taylor Swift (#13) moved up from last year, she really should be in the top 10. Speaking of the top 10, this year's list is ripe with questionable calls. You can't go wrong with Kate Upton (#7) on any top 10 list but the placement of Selena Gomez at #2 and incredibly shockingly Miley Cyrus at #1 – yeah, that's not a typo, is more that a bit out of line. No doubt Selena deserves to be on the list, but probably outside the top 20. As far as Miley goes, I'd say it was OK to include her but she should certainly be in the bottom 50.

Should Kids Go on a Vegan Diet?
Many people have adopted a vegan lifestyle as a healthy alternative to eating meat. But is veganism, a strict diet which eliminates all animal proteins, including milk, cheese, eggs, meat and fish, healthy for growing children?
California resident Ruby Roth is raising her seven-year-old stepdaughter, Akira, to be a vegan. And she's so passionate about the lifestyle that she's written an upcoming children's book on the subject called 'Vegan is Love.'
But some argue that such a pro-vegan stance could inadvertently cause children harm. "The main problem I have with this book is that children are impressionable, and this is too sensitive of a topic to have a child read this book," said Nicole German, a registered dietitian in Atlanta. "It could easily scare a young child into eating vegan, and, without proper guidance, that child could become malnourished."
Still, health experts say there's nothing wrong with a vegan diet for kids provided it's well-balanced. "As long as the diet is carefully planned, vegan diets provide all the nutrition you need to fuel your growing child and typically contain higher amounts of the 'good stuff' — vegetables, fruits, beans, lentils, nuts, seeds, etc. — than the standard American diet," said Joy Bauer, nutrition expert for the 'Today' show.
But, Bauer cautions, kids need careful monitoring when on a vegan diet to ensure they get the nutrition they need. In particular, she said, vegan kids can "overload on highly appealing white starches like pasta, rice and potatoes and don't eat enough protein-rich foods like beans, lentils, edamame, nuts and seeds."

Carsten Charles Sabathia has really geared it up today, fanning 11 including 7 straight in going a perfect 5 1/3 to start tonight before heavy rain and lightning halted play. I hope he can make it back out, especially if the delay ends up around an hour. If it is 90 minutes or more, expecting CC back out is probably asking too much. But man, what a stint from CC, who is facing a struggling free-swinging team just as David Cone did when he threw a perfect game against a young and very similar Montreal team on July 18, 1999, on a mere 88 pitches–which also featured a rain delay.
Stay tuned.
[Edit: Just a magnificent effort from C.C., who fanned 14 and rolled through 6 1/3 before a single by Ryan broke up the perfect game. He struggled in the 7th, walking the bases loaded before Robertson entered and allowed one inherited run to score. If only the rain hadn't come. It isn't tough to envision C.C. having had a perfect game tonight, the way he was setting 'em down.]

I'm new to Java and Eclipse. I've just downloaded Eclipse Indigo to use with OSX Lion.
The app I'd like to create will have a very minimalist GUI. I need a black fullscreen (no menubar, scrolling, resizing, just a black screen). Within this space I need to dynamically create and arrange clickable buttons that are simply colored rectangles with text labels inside them. I will also need text input boxes that are as basic as a form field in html.
I don't need anything fancier, nor do I need a graphical layout builder. I'd prefer to do it all with code, with the most lightweight (as in CPU usage) method possible.
Does Eclipse come with what I need out of the box? Or do I need one of these Swing/AWT/SWT addons? Thanks for your help.
