25. The LS and accessory drive clear the steering rack nicely. Always check engine, transmission, and chassis clearances before buttoning your project up. It is easy to overlook oil pan-to-chassis clearances, which are more easily corrected before the body goes on.

The last time Andy Ogle fought in the UFC he was about fed up with the process of waiting. It had been eight months between fights, and he was ready to take out his frustration on UFC debutant Makwan Amirkhani in Stockholm. He was in the midst of a three-fight losing streak, which made the layoff excruciatingly long. Then things got worse. Amirkhani hit Ogle with a flying knee right out of the gate, literally a second into the fight, and immediately set about attacked him on the fence. The referee, quick to the scene, stopped the action just as Ogle was fishing for a single-leg to show he was still in it. Eight seconds was all it took to end Ogle’s eight-month quest to redeem himself. At 25 years old, he had lost his fourth fight in a row. For every good redemption story, there are a dozen with abrupt ends. Ogle was cut a month later, on Feb. 16, which just happened to be his birthday. Amirkani arrived that night and made the media rounds, while Ogle walked out of that particular cage for good. Now, he’s a prison guard in Newcastle, England. He traded one cage for another. These days he’s on the outside looking in.**Ogle was a decent fighter, not a great one. He was a cast member on The Ultimate Fighter Live (or, TUF 15), which featured a pretty nice collection of lightweights. He was pretty far down the pecking order on the show, selected second to last on Team Faber, but managed to upset Mike Rio before getting ousted by Al Iaquinta. He made the move to featherweight before making his official debut against Akira Corassani. He lost that fight, too, via a controversial split decision. His lone win in the UFC was a decision over Josh Grispi in London back in 2013. Last September, after making the decision to turn the page, he began work at a Category C correctional facility as a prison officer. The categories are in place to determine the risk of escape by the inmates, and C has its share of sordid characters out in Newcastle upon Tyne."There’s like murderers in there, and rapists and everything," he says matter-of-factly. "It’s a totally different world. I don’t know, no two days are the same. It’s pretty wild, and it’s pretty cool. My parents always say to me, because I used to work the door [bouncer], that I went from working the door to fighting for a living and now I’m a fucking prison officer, my mother was like, ‘you really don’t want me to sleep at night.’ I’m like, no, no, I just like doing different things."Ogle is 27 years old, and he finds a different kind of fulfillment in his new occupation. His fresh beginning is reflected somewhat metaphorically in his work. Everyday he shows up and spends time around people, most of them young and under-educated, waiting for a second chance of their own. Hoping for a second chance. Having nothing to live for but that second chance. Some of them don’t honestly believe they deserve one. And Ogle sees it as his duty to help provide scaffolding for the wayward souls he interacts with.  "You’re trying to help these people move on," he says. "Some of these guys are saying, f*ck this place, this place is shit, I hate it, and I’m never coming back. And I say to them, well, what’s the plan? They say, ‘I’m just not coming back, Mr. Ogle.’ And I say, ‘that’s not a plan.’ "A plan is short-termed, like, when I get out, I am going to do my driving test, and I’m going to get myself a car. And I’m going to be in a hostel, and when I’m in the hostel, I’m still going to be looking for cheap apartments around me. And I’m going to looking into getting into this work, because that will keep me from stealing. That’s a plan. Telling me that you hate the place and you’re not coming back because you don’t like it, that’s not a plan."

‘The NDP are taking money collected from taxpayers for education in the province, to pay municipalities, for defaulting oil and gas companies. This is unconscionable. Not only have our taxes increased in our county because of oil and gas defaults, but in the years to come, it stands to reason, our education property taxes will also increase to cover the costs of subsidizing municipalities for insolvent oil and gas operators. This is not a solution. Our schools are already struggling with poor funding, now the NDP takes $50 million from the education fund, to socialize industrial defaults?

He said the energy industry could help bring cryptocurrency technology to Alberta. The computers used in the large-scale mining of cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin, require vast amounts of energy.

4. Robotic Cell. The company recently purchased another CNC machine, a Cloos Qirox QR-CC-4.1 compact robotic welding cell. It is a ready-to-weld system equipped with a two-station workpiece positioner with vertical change and vertical rotation. It provides excellent welding results, reduces secondary processing times, and speeds the entire process run, Jennifer said. “This will increase our speed of high-volume welded assemblies, and should increase efficiency exponentially. Initially we are going to utilize the machine to weld concrete form assemblies and eventually our stair treads,” she added. 

I would love to see Catalyst do a program on the low-carb high-fat (LCHF) diet.Last year I tried a ‘healthy’ high-carb low-fat diet, while also running and swimming 4 times a week. I lost 2 kg but it was difficult. I always felt like binge eating and it was tough mentally and I often lapsed. When I stopped running due to an injury I ended up putting on all the weight I lost and then some.This year I’ve been following the low-carb high-fat diet since April and have lost 8kg. The brilliant thing is that I don’t have to fight my body. The diet is not hard, there is no hunger for food, there is no battle with the brain. I eat eggs for breaky, steak and cream for lunch, etc., plus a heap of veges. My energy levels feel more constant and I’m not always thinking about food.There is a bit of controversy around the diet as the old stalwarts resist and suggestion that fat can be part of healthy eating. They say people have to control themselves more and control their hunger. But really, does it sound right that the natural state of being is to be constantly fighting hunger, or that the 2/3rds of people who are overweight are lazy and lack discipline? Remove processed carbs, add fat.
