Following a relatively successful season in the '06 French GT (FFSA) Championship, four Corvettes signed on for the '07 championship battle. Belgian squad PSI Exprience is back with a pair of Vettes-a C6.R and a C5-R-and SRT will once again compete with its own C5-R. New to the fray is French favorite Luc Alphand Adventures, also with a C5-R.
But while the Corvette contingent looks to be as formidable as ever, the competition has gotten even stronger. The '06 championship team has returned with not one, but two of last year's dominant Saleen S7Rs and, for the first time, an Aston Martin DBR9 will compete, backed by the experienced Larbre Competition squad. The season kicked off at Nogaro, with all of the teams jockeying to establish an early points lead.
Qualifying 1Reigning champ Oreca flexed its muscles early in qualifying, with the Raymond Narac-driven Saleen S7R grabbing pole position. A fine effort by Laurent Cazenave in the SRT C5-R saw him secure second, though his qualifying time was a good 0.8 seconds slower than the Saleen's. Team PSI took fifth and sixth (behind the Aston and another Saleen), while Gabriel Balthazard would line up in seventh in the Alphand C5-R to complete a strong Corvette presence at the head of the field.
Race 1Narac wasted little time in building a small, if comfortable, lead over Cazenave, who had his hands full defending his position from the Larbre Competition Aston of Fred Makowiecki and the second Oreca Saleen of Bruno Hernandez. While these four cars set a searing pace up front, a frustrated Yvan Lebon was doing all he could to depose his PSI teammate Jean Claude Police from fifth.
When Lebon finally did make it past, disaster struck: Hernandez, who had spun out while attempting to overtake Makowiecki's Aston, reversed straight back into Lebon while rejoining the pack. The resulting contact broke the C6's left-rear suspension and effectively ended the Saleen's hopes of victory. It looked like a straight fight to the flag between the the No. 1 Saleen, the SRT C5-R, and the Aston Martin, after the driver changes.
Sadly, the race would prove an anticlimax when first the Aston Martin slowed with a puncture caused by excessive tire wear and then retired with spiralling water temperatures. The SRT Vette, meanwhile, began to lose pace dramatically, also as a result of failing tires. PSI's Mathieu Zangarelli moved into second in the C5 he had taken over from Jean Claude Police. All the drama had given the Saleen, now with reigning champ Soheil Ayari at the wheel, a 16-second lead it was unlikely to lose.
Behind, the SRT car's fall down the order was dramatic, with Eric Cayrolle eventually nursing the C5 home in sixth, over a lap down on the Saleen. Some consolation was afforded Vette fans by the Luc Alphand Adventures C5-R of Gabriel Balthazard and Jrome Policand, which finished third after a steady, if unspectacular, race.
Qualifying 2With tire-wear issues at the forefront of many teams' minds, the second qualifying round got off to a slow start, with everyone reluctant to do too many laps. But when they did go, the Makowiecki Aston showed that its overnight engine change had served it well. Its 1:24.046 just edged out Ayari's Saleen, which posted a 1:24.118. Behind, Mathieu Zangarelli confirmed that the Vettes were around a half-second off the pace by lodging a 1:24.688. Zangarelli would line up just ahead of the Luc Alphand Adventures C5, while the PSI C6.R of Christophe Bouchut and the SRT C5 of Eric Cayrolle would line up in seventh and eighth, respectively.
Race 2Makowiecki set a searing pace right from the start, while Zangarelli muscled out the Saleen to snatch second. Determined to make up for the previous day's disappointment, Christophe Bouchut overcooked it into the hairpin on Lap One, and the subsequent excursion dropped the C6 down to eighth position. It was to be the start of a stunning comeback by the PSI driver.
While the Aston quickly built a four-second lead over Zangarelli, the C5 had little trouble fending off the Saleen-a fact the Oreca team would later attribute to a misfiring engine. That seemed of little interest to the crowd, as all eyes were on Bouchut as he charged though the field. Within 10 minutes, the C6 was up to fifth and, in the space of two laps, he had moved ahead of the Alphand C5, the Saleen, and the PSI C5 to take second.
In this kind of mood, Bouchut is unstoppable, and when Makowiecki hesitated momentarily behind a backmarker, the Vette surged ahead and quickly built a six-second lead going into the driver changes. Yvan Lebon emerged in the lead ahead of the Raymond Narac-piloted Saleen, with Jean Claude Police and Gabriel Bathazard following. The big loser going into the stops had once again been the Aston Martin, as tire woes dropped them out of the running.
And then misfortune struck again for the crew of the PSI C6.R. Lebon headed into the pits with an engine problem, and his race was over. That left the lead Saleen at the head of the field until Jean Claude Police attacked and went ahead in traffic with ten minutes to go. The Saleen was not done, however, and on the final lap dived up the inside of the Vette to take the flag in front of the distraught PSI crew.
The Oreca celebrations were premature, however, as it soon came to light that the final pass had taken place under yellow flags. The subsequent penalty dropped the Saleen to Fourth overall. That left us with a great One-Two finish for the Vettes, with PSI's Police and Zangarelli edging out the Alphand C5 of Policand and Balthazard.

You know we are in a slooooooooooooooooooooooooow news cycle when the big news of the day is that MSNBC suspended commentator Mark Halperin IN-DEF-IN-ITE-LY LY ly ly ly <---(if text could echo) for calling Obama a "dick" on the show "Morning Joe."
This brings to light two burning question American's must have answered....First, WHO IS MARK HALPERIN?
Yeah I've heard of the guy, but this seriously could have gone totally unnoticed because it happened on MSNBC, a channel the even NBC has to be reminded exists, and the guy is a household name in his household only (I'm assuming).
The other burning question is, what did he do wrong?
Scarborough and Morning Joe Executive Producer Alex Korson said they were sorry for what happened.
"Certainly, [host] Mika [Brzezinski] and I also apologize to viewers," Scarborough said. "And we hear this all the time — parents come up and say, 'Hey, by the way, we don't just watch the show, our kids watch the show.'"
From Politico
It's nice that Morning Joe's audience allows their kids to watch the show. Most camera crews don't take their family to work, so I could understand why they wouldn't want them to hear that Obama is any four letter word...but isn't he one?
If there was a third burning question it would have to be whether or not the word was offensive, or if MSNBC just didn't like Halperin's target.
Sometimes, I have to wonder if these things happen as stunts to help double the number of viewer <---(not a typo) they have. In the end don't think this would be news, even in a slow news cycle like this, if the president was Republican.Add a comment
If you were to give Obama the same treatment Michele Bachmann has been getting over the last week and shake him like a snowglobe, how many flakes would he produce?

I'm looking forward to the day where an adult is president again....
"If we do not have revenues, that means there are a bunch of kids out there who do not have college scholarships," Obama said. "[It] might compromise the National Weather Services. It means we might not be funding critical medical research. It means food inspection might be compromised. I've said to Republican leaders, 'You go talk to your constituents and ask them, "Are you willing to compromise your kids' safety so some corporate-jet owner can get a tax break?"

Is it really THAT simple?!? Wow...I never thought of it in such stark terms before. The boy wonder president never ceases to amaze with his ability to communicate so clearly what the stakes are in this debt fight. As good as this is I don't think he makes it clear enough. So I rewrote the money shot a few times to really illustrate to the American taxpayer how important this is.
Are you willing to compromise my war in Libya so some corporate-jet owner can get a tax break?
Are you willing to compromise funding abortion mills so some corporate-jet owner can get a tax break?
Are you willing to compromise vote entitling entitlements so some corporate-jet owner can get a tax break?
Are you willing to compromise my family's vacations so some corporate-jet owner can get a tax break?
Are you willing to compromise my ability to donate money to the church of big tobacco so some corporate-jet owner can get a tax break?
Are you willing to compromise Joe's hair plug allowance so some corporate-jet owner can get a tax break?
Are you willing to compromise Harry Reid's ongoing male hormone therapy so some corporate-jet owner can get a tax break?
Are you willing to compromise Nancy Pelosi's R&D in clean broom technology so some corporate-jet owner can get a tax break?
Are you willing to compromise Barney Frank's hush money so some corporate-jet owner can get a tax break?

Well look who took Churchill to heart about being a liberal at 40 (emphasis is mine)....
John Lennon was a closet Republican, who felt a little embarrassed by his former radicalism, at the time of his death - according to the tragic Beatles star's last personal assistant.
Fred Seaman worked alongside the music legend from 1979 to Lennon's death at the end of 1980 and he reveals the star was a Ronald Reagan fan who enjoyed arguing with left-wing radicals who reminded him of his former self....
"He was a very different person back in 1979 and 80 than he'd been when he wrote Imagine. By 1979 he looked back on that guy and was embarrassed by that guy's naivete."
More at The Toronto Sun
We have seen for a generation or so the product of what kind of leadership the narcissism of the 60's can produce...a lot of hippies never found their brain. Lennon's story is only shocking because of the icon he has become to the left. The saying attributed to Winston Churchill...
"If you're not a liberal at twenty you have no heart, if you're not a conservative at forty you have no brain."
...has so much traction because it's so true.
You have to wonder what the heck happened to make the guy who wrote "Imagine" lose his imagination, the most important ingredient needed to fall for liberal arguments, to say nothing of that song.
"Naivete" is the key word in all of this. Imagination covers over reason and allows you to accept whatever you want to believe, liberals proceed to act on their imagination with near reckless abandon for how the world really works.
This is why I really really REALLY wish my modest proposal to build a real life Matrix for anyone left of center shouldn't go unheeded. It wouldn't be hard to figure out who belongs there, at 18 everyone takes a test with questions like:
"What's a four-letter profanity for money"
If your answer is "what?"...CONGRATULATIONS! You answered the question correctly and get to live in the real world.
If your answer is "capitalism"...CONGRATULATIONS! You answered the question correctly and get to spend a lifetime in the Matrix trying to bend "reality" to your liberal will.
I'm telling you, this is a great idea. Liberals get the control they've always wanted, and conservatives get the freedom mankind has always deserved.

David Brooks over at the New York Times thinks Obama's presidential style has made him a great Senate majority leader. Which I guess could be a great compliment, if you're a crossing guard.
That's not a shot at Obama, because a crossing guards are technically leaders too.
The public follows crossing guards out into oncoming traffic solely on the sense of hope they provide that it's safe to cross. So they never make that call unless its safe for them to cross too.
The stop signs they carry contain a message they intend for everyone else to follow but them. If nobody wants to listen to them then they'll just get run over, and there isn't anything they can really do about it.
Basically, crossing guards are the teleprompterless, underachieving, yet more successful step-cousin of Barack Obama.
One major difference I can think of is that crossing guards have more executive experience, they assess the situation on the street, make a judgement call, and then they just go for it. They don't confer with the kids and their parents. They don't think about it for 40 days or sleep on it (whichever ends first).
If a bunch of cars pile up in the intersection they definitely don't go off and play golf to clear their head.
Does that mean a good leader has to be a dictator? No, but we are facing problems that could end America as we know it, and right now crossing guards are more decisive than the President of the United States.
For starters, I'm going to go out on a limb and say they'd probably hold that stop sign up against our debt as it approaches the limit line.
They probably don't bow to foreign cars either.
Also, for crossing guards this....
....means "stop." For Obama it means "do I need a manicure Mahmoud?"
We should start having co-presidents, one can get things done and make decisions, and the other can bask in the glow of adoration and the medias flashing cameras until epilepsy sets in.Add a comment

While hiking down along the border this morning, I saw a Muslim extremist fall into the Rio Grande River; he was struggling to stay afloat because of all the guns and bombs he was carrying.
Along with him was a Mexican who was also struggling to stay afloat because of the large backpack of drugs that was strapped to his back. If they didn't get help they'd surely drown.
Being a responsible Texan, and law abiding citizen, I know I have to help those in distress.
I immediately informed the El Paso County Sheriff's Office and Homeland Security.
It is now 4 pm, both have drowned, and neither authority has responded.
I'm starting to think I wasted two stamps...
Is Chris Wallace's latest Fox News Sunday stunt the meat in a controversy sandwich that he's building?
Well is she? Did Wallace miss her debate performance in New Hampshire?
Unless she's his lab rat for some psychology thesis, what purpose does the question serve? She's not going to say yes.
While Wallace did apologize, what makes Michele Bachmann the lucky recipient of such a question when the left itself is a bunch of flakes...
Here's a snowflake (one of a kind that melts under heat).
Here's a cornflake (no explanation needed here).
and then we have...
At the time this was, somehow, supposed to be a compliment because "THEY'RE GRRRRRRRREAT!" Which is something crack addicts say about what they use to frost their flakes, so it's a good thing President Obama didn't endorse Kellogs's "kindness" in any way
....I guess it's a thing us flake-haters can't understand.
In any case, take these flakes deep fry and cheese stuff them, and you have completed your recipe for liberalism.
That's why the country falls for them so much, they look tasty enough to binge on. After a short while your ass explodes, your depth perception gets screwed up because your second chin blocks your view of the floor, your appetite for anything healthy starts to fade.
And all that comes after you burn stupendous amounts of calories fighting Michelle Obama for a taste.
Michele Bachmann isn't a flake, like any other conservative that sticks to their principles she would be more like the fat-burning workout the country needs to shed itself of its disgusting habits and feel good about itself again.
Oh geez Michele, why do you have to make the limb so wobbly? The MSM is going to bust her pretty hard for this. I sure do hope they don't ask her when Iowa became one of the 57 states, or if she owns any television sets from the 1920's. In other words, this is a much easier "mistake" to make than ones made by the frosted flakes (in fairness her campaign still contends it's not mistake and does justify that position).
But still...help a conservative brother out Michele!Add a comment
It's always entertaining to watch liberals like Maureen Dowd in her latest column trip over their own brilliance. Starting off with...
HE was born this way.
Not bisexual. Not even bipartisan. Just binary.
Our president likes to be on both sides at once.....
...and conclude with...
With each equivocation, the man in the Oval Office shields his identity and cloaks who the real Barack Obama is.
He should draw inspiration from the gay community: one thing gays have to do, after all, is declare who they are at all costs.
On some of the most important issues facing this nation, it is time for the president to come out of the closet.
Wasn't that SO clever how it wasn't about being gay.....and then it was? Is there any wonder why liberals get out of their leaders what their ideology puts into our system?
All they ever are is a confused hot mess of indecision, so of course the president they propagandize for would be too.
That's because liberalism at its core is something that doesn't sell well to most of the country. Obama's "obviously Christian" views on gay marriage are "evolving" because most of the country disagrees with his actual support for it.
He commits our military to action in Libya so he can point to at least one instance where America doesn't have a timid wilting flower of a President, and riding Bush's coattails on Afghanistan and Iraq isn't cutting it.....so he flexes this manhood while hiding behind the NATO skirt being worn by France.
He likes to lead from behind because it's not in liberalism's DNA to lead for real. Now we're stuck with President Buttsniffer. That's why his unofficial tag line when he bows before foreign leaders is "turn around."
When you think about it, it does kind of make sense that "leading from behind" is the only way to really guide gay marriage policy, or force rich people to "spread the wealth."
"Leading from behind" is actually the perfect way to nutshell liberalism's effect on America.
I guess the point is that "bi" means "gay in denial" and Obama should just join the side they're on already. So he should heed Dowd's advice and...
Trade in the blue ties for pink ones
Stimulate the economy by signaling it's time to buy stock in the company that owns Virginia Slims.
Hatch a deficit reduction scheme that includes participation in a special edition of some Home and Garden show with a "partner" as they work with a real estate agent to sell the White House. (not sell out, he's already done that)
He needs to just be himself, then the rest of the nation can finally join conservatives in realizing that we have leadership we can believe in...changing.Add a comment

NEW MARKET, Iowa - The Federal Bureau of Information believes an Iowa town could be linked to sexual exploitation case. One of the towns involved in the investigation is New Market, but authorities aren't sure if that is New Market, Iowa or another New Market.
They said the child at the center of the case was seen wearing a yellow shirt that said "New Market Basketball" with the outline of a basketball on the front.
The FBI is looking for two men, whose names are unknown, that could have information surrounding the identity of the child. One of the men is described as white, between 25 and 35, with dark hair and glasses. The other is said to be a white, between 35 and 45, with dark hair.
Authorities said one, or both of them, could be taking photos of the the child in sexually explicit positions. Those pictures were first recorded to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children in February of 2003. Authorities say they are still being circulated around child pornography sites.
Authorities have begun hanging posters with the men's pictures in several cities that they think are key to the investigation.
They are also looking for what appears to be a house with yellow siding and an above ground pool.
Anyone with information is asked to call the FBI's toll-free tip line at 1-800-CALL-FBI. or submit a tip here.

Ready to run with itPosted by on November 8, 2012 – 9:10 pm
There is nothing Isaac Redman hates more than standing on the sidelines being a spectator, so when he returned to the field last Sunday against the Giants after being inactive the previous two weeks, it came as a huge relief.
"It felt good to be back," said Redman, who missed two games with an ankle injury. "I was out too long. I wanted to get back on the field and help the team win. I hate being on the sideline watching everybody go to war and I am not able to help."
Redman definitely did his share to help against the Giants, rushing for 147 yards and a touchdown in the 24-20 win, turning out the performance he had been hoping for all season.
"When we were behind, and the running backs were down I knew it was going to be mostly me," said Redman. "I wanted to put it on my shoulders and carry the team when it came to rushing. I didn't want to let them down even though I was banged up. I just fought through it."
The team should have Jonathan Dwyer back this week after he missed the Giants game with a quadriceps injury, and Rashard Mendenhall is also gradually working his way back to full health.
Coach Mike Tomlin said earlier this week that whoever is being productive when healthy is "going to get the totes." That is something Redman likes to hear, knowing it's up to each back to get the job done.
"That makes you feel better because you know the deciding factor is on you," said Redman. "If you perform well, you will be in the game and get the ball. It's who is playing well at the present time and it makes you feel good about yourself.
"You have to take the opportunity and run with it. You have to put your bid in and try to impress the coaches so when everybody is healthy you get your carries and are not sitting on the bench."
While some might look at the lack of a definitive main guy in the running game right now, Redman thinks it can be an advantage to have three backs that are capable of starting and are all working towards the same goal.
"We are trying to win so at the end of the day I am not selfish saying I want to be the starting running back and carrying the ball 26 times a game," said Redman. "We have three guys that are capable of being a starting running back and I would like to see all three of us get carries and be able to pound defenses out.
"It's just scary to see what we can do when all three of us are able to carry the ball at the same time."

Ground and pound, man-on-man at the line, running angry downhill…I like it! Now that's Steeler's football, 4+ yard gains on every carry. Nice to see the running game return to add to the success of the offense to close games late. Hopeful the coache's will keep Dwyer and Redman running North and South to add some more 100+ year games this season.

|Assistant Athletic Director - Facilities
|(352) 588-8224
Thanks to his prior experience with management of the athletic facilities at Saint Leo, head men's basketball coach Mike Madagan adds Assistant Athletic Director for Operations to his title. He will oversee the University's athletic facilities including their game-day setup, maintenance and scheduling. He will also direct the Lions' developing summer camp operation as well the game management aspect of Saint Leo's game day operations. These responsibilities are in addition to his duties on the sidelines for SLU Men's Basketball, a spot he has held since 2001.
After 12 years of serving as an assistant coach at the Division I and Division II levels, Mike Madagan began his first season as a head coach in 2001-2002, returning home to Saint Leo University in the process. Madagan was assistant coach at Division II national power Florida Southern College and Division I University of South Florida prior to accepting the position at Saint Leo.
Madagan learned the game of basketball from the ground up. His desire to coach was fueled by four years as a student manager for the Northern Illinois University men's basketball team. Madagan graduated with a major in physical education in 1988. His coaching career began that fall at Conestoga High School in Berwyn, Pa.
The native of Newport News, Va., who graduated from D.C. Everest High School in 1983, joined the staff at Saint Leo in the fall of 1989 and served for three years as an assistant coach. He left here to become an assistant coach at Florida Southern College, also a member of the Sunshine State Conference. The Mocs won two regular season league titles, two tournament crowns and advanced to the Division II post-season tournament twice during his time there.
Prior to joining the Lions, Madagan served as assistant coach at Division I University of South Florida for five years. His duties there encompassed a wide range of responsibilities. His on-court coaching emphasized team defense and working with the front court players.
During the season he coordinated written and video scouting reports. In the off-season, Madagan was in charge of player skill development with individual workout programs. He also organized team travel, helped secure non-conference games, monitored player academics and handled the team's equipment, apparel and footwear needs. Madagan also assisted in various aspects of recruiting and ran the USF summer basketball programs.
Madagan earned his master's degree in physical education from South Florida in 1993.
Madagan is married to the former Georgianna Kimbrough. The couple has two children, Hannah and Sarah. In addition to raising two children of their own, the Madagans are involved with six other children from two different families and have been since 1989. The Madagans were featured in a Tampa Tribune article titled 'Every Day is Family Day' in the main sports section on Fathers Day in 2001 for their accomplishments.
The Madagan Family resides in Dade City, Fla.

Decorations and lights take weeks to complete. Instead of whining, why don't you become one of the many citizens who volunteer their help? You're going on my crybaby list of bloggers.

I think we all would love to get the full Echoplex (damn, I mean Irving Plaza) and iam sure they have all the footage and stuff to make us happy.
I think it would be cool to write some kind of letter to warner (?!) or do something as a community to get the full show. I would even pay for it.^^
Maybe a iTunes only release or something for a onlineshop? Or just for free because they had to cancel so many shows. (I know we got Tre early because of that but you get the point)
Anyone has a cool idea to accomplish that?

Few electric guitars can boast the enduring versatility of the Fender Stratocaster, an iconic American classic and the most-copied electric guitar of all time. From Buddy Holly and surf guitar great Dick Dale through to Eric Clapton and Jimi Hendrix, the Strat has been the guitar of choice for countless legends.
Since the Fender Stratocaster was designed in 1954 by Leo Fender, George Fullerton and Freddie Tavares, the Strat has been in continuous production. Nearly six decades on and the Fender Strat has gone through a vast array of refinements and permutations, but the essential design and elements remain the same. For Strat fans on a budget Fender's range of Mexican-produced Stratocasters have helped Fender to ensure that everyone can gain access to the classic Stratocaster experience and sound.

Be inspired.
We think our ceiling tiles are the bomb-diggity, but you don't have to take our word for it. Check out our gallery for photos and testimonials from actual customers.
Go shopping.
You know what you want. You are a (wo)man of action. You laugh in the face of danger. You scoff at asking for directions. Don't let us stand in your way.
"You belong under Ceilume" isn't just our company slogan, it's what we believe. Do we make the coolest ceiling tiles and panels on the planet? You bet! But a product is only as good as the value it brings to the customer buying it, so you are a lot more important in
this equation than we are.
Yes, we manufacture ceiling tiles, but what we strive to provide you with is a sense of pride in your beautifully enhanced environment, confidence that what you have purchased is safe and will be easily maintained for years to come, and, most importantly of all, a feeling that you belong.
If your new ceiling is impossible to install, we've failed. If it looks like an afterthought instead of a centerpiece, we've failed. If your ceiling tiles are not one of the first things visitors notice when they enter the room (not because they are saggy, or water stained or cracked, but because they make the space come alive) then we have failed.
But when you lean back in your chair at the end of the day, or look up from your desk, dinner table, or couch and you are pleased by what you see, then we've done our job - it's that simple.
Our customers tell our story best, so as you travel around our website be sure to check out their reviews and the incredible photos and comments they provide.

This evocative look at a 1914 ocean voyage to scatter the ashes of a world-famous opera singer (Janet Suzman) is by turns charming, funny, and bizarre. Among the ship's passengers are aristocrats, politicians, singers, and a rhinoceros. Their episodic interactions form the core of the film, with complications (including a group of refugee Serbs boarding the vessel) carefully orchestrated by screenwriters Federico Fellini and Tonino Guerra to highlight the decay of European society prior to World War I. The ship sails on an artificial ocean against an artificial sky, crafted by art director Dante Ferretti in the studios of Cinecitta, with a result that is both disconcerting and oddly comforting.~ Robert Firsching, All Movie Guide

Liner Notes › Meaty Beaty Big and Bouncy
The album's original title was The Who Looks Back and the
front cover was meant to illustrate that. The children are not The Who, but rather four kids rounded up in 1971
and dressed to look like the young Who. One of them is Who manager Bill Curbishley's brother Paul. Meaty Beaty
Big & Bouncy was first released in the U.S. as Decca DL 79184 and entered the charts there on November
20th, 1971. The first editions included a sheet of liner notes. It reached #11 on the Billboard charts.
When The Who broke their contract with record producer Shel Talmy in 1966, they were sued and ultimately had to
accept an agreement by which Talmy got a percentage of every Who album for five years. This album was released
just after the lapsing of that agreement. The U.K. release was held up because The Who and Bill Curbishley had
failed to clear it with manager Kit Lambert. He tried to have the order of tracks changed but failed because too
many copies had been pressed. The LP was released as Track 2406 006 and first entered the U.K. charts December
3rd going to #9.
Meaty Beaty Big & Bouncy was not the first collection
of The Who's greatest hits nor was it the last. In fact, The Who have a plethora of hit collections. Britain has
seen 1968's Direct Hits, 1976's The Story of The Who, 1984's The Singles, 1985's The Who
Collection, 1988's Who's Better Who's Best, the 1994 boxset 30 Years Of Maximum R&B and 1996's
My Generation - The Very Best Of The Who. The last three were also released in the U.S. along with 1968's
Magic Bus - The Who On Tour, 1981's Hooligans, 1983's The Who's Greatest Hits, 1999's The
Who: 20th Century Masters: The Millennium Collection 2002's The Who: The Ultimate Collection and 2004's
The Who All-Time Greatest Hits. I'm not even going to touch on the many collections from other countries,
which were also sold as imports in the U.S. and U.K. In any case, Meaty Beaty Big and
Bouncy is the one collection that has been judged definitive by rock critics and fans around the globe. Unfortunately,
it has not yet been chosen for remastering. The 1996 collection My Generation - The Very Best Of The Who
is the closest to it in the present catalog.
Pete Townshend: "It can't be beat for straightforward Kink copying.
There is little to say about how I wrote this. It came out of the top of my head when I was 18 and a half. It seems
to be about the frustrations of a young person who is so incoherent and uneducated that he can't state his case
to the bourgeois intellectual blah blah blah. Or, of course, it might be about drugs."
This is a version edited by Shel Talmy Oct. 14, 1965 for the U.S. market from the 3'05 original found on the British My Generation LP. Originally released on that album and despite what Pete says above, subsequently released as a single in the U.K. as Brunswick 05965 on August 12, 1966 to compete against The Who's official release of "I'm A Boy" on the Reaction label. At the time a lawsuit was raging between The Who and their ex-producer Shel Talmy. The single reached #41. The B-side was "The Ox." In the U.S. it was released as Decca 31988 with the B-side "A Legal Matter" in July 1966. It reached #106 in the Billboard charts and #85 in Cash Box. It was rarely performed live until The Who revived it in 1999-2000 and improvised new lyrics for it which can be heard on The Who & Special Guests Live at the Royal Albert Hall video (2000). Not included on My Generation - The Very Best Of The Who. The full-length version is available on the boxset 30 Years Of Maximum R&B while the U.S. edited version is on The Who: The Ultimate Collection. A stereo version is available on My Generation: Deluxe Edition.
Pete also tells that the last words of the song came from an attempt to restrain Keith from singing on this track: "Kit had to make [Keith] promise to lay on the floor in the control room down behind the glass so nobody could see him. So he lay there on the ground all the way through the number. And just at the very last few bars, his little head comes up and goes down again. And I shouted out, 'I saw ya!'" Released in the U.K. as Reaction 591010 on December 3, 1966 with B-side "I've Been Away." It reached #3 there. Released in the U.S. as Decca 32114 March 18, 1967 with B-side "Whiskey Man." It reached #24 in Billboard and #13 in Cash Box making it The Who's first Top-Forty single in the U.S. It was performed live 1967-1970 but rarely thereafter. Track 7 on My Generation - The Very Best Of The Who. (2'11)
Pete Townshend: "The real production masterpiece in the Who/Lambert coalition was, of course, 'I Can See For Miles.' The version here is not the mono, which is a pity because the mono makes the stereo sound like The Carpenters. We cut the track in London at CBS Studios and brought the tapes to Gold Star studios in Hollywood to mix and master them. Gold Star has the nicest sounding echo in the world. And there is just a little of that on the mono. Plus, a touch of home-made compressor in Gold Star's cutting room. I swoon when I hear the sound. The words, which aging senators have called 'drug oriented,' are about a jealous man with exceptionally good eyesight. Honest."
"I Can See For Miles" was first released in the U.S. as Decca 32206 and hit the charts on October 7,
1967 reaching #9 on the Billboard charts, the highest ranking for any Who single. In Cash Box, it
went to #8. The B-side was "Mary Anne With The Shaky Hands." In the
U.K., it was released as Track 604011 on October 14, 1967 with the B-side
"Someone's Coming." Pete was certain it would make it to #1, but it only reached
#10, tieing with "Anyway, Anyhow, Anywhere" as their poorest British chart performance
to date. It caused Townshend to undergo a complete lack of confidence in himself as a writer of singles. He soon
after turned to the idea of a full-scale opera. Claiming it was too complex to perform live with just one guitar,
bass and drums, The Who stopped performing this live after a few dates in late 1967, reviving it only after Keith's
death when the band was augmented by keyboards and horns. Track 9 on My Generation - The Very Best Of The Who.
The recording was filmed for Swedish television. Released in the U.K. as Track 604002 on April 22, 1967, it reached #4. Released in the U.S. as Decca 32156 on June 24, 1967. The U.S. radio stations, unlike the U.K. pirate stations, objected to the lyrics and it stalled at #51 in Billboard and #60 in Cash Box. "Doctor, Doctor" was the B-side in both countries. Track #8 on My Generation - The Very Best Of The Who. (2'45)
Released as Brunswick 05944 with the B-side "Shout and Shimmy" on October 29, 1965. It reached #2 on the British charts.It charted there again in 1988 (#68) and 1996 (#31). Released in the U.S. as Decca 31877 with B-side "Out In The Streets" on November 20, 1965 reaching #74 on the Billboard charts and #99 on the Cash Box charts. The set closer for most of their Sixties career where it would be climaxed with an instrument smashup. Track #3 on My Generation - The Very Best Of The Who. A stereo and an instrumental version is available on My Generation: Deluxe Edition.
Released in the U.K. as Track 604036
on March 21, 1970 and reaching #19 in the charts. Released in the U.S. as Decca
732729; it hit the charts there on April 11, 1970 reaching #44 in Billboard and #30 in Cash Box.
And it was performed at a few dates in the U.S., in 1970 and a few times in 2000. B-side in both countries was
"Here For More." Track #12 on My Generation - The Very Best Of The Who. (3'22)
Released as Brunswick 05935 in the U.K. May 21, 1965 with B-side "Daddy Rolling Stone"; it reached #10.
Released in the U.S. as Decca 31801 June 5, 1965 with B-side "Anytime You Want Me"; it failed to chart.
Rarely played live past 1965 until it was revived in 1999. Track #2 on My Generation - The Very Best Of The
Released as a single ahead of the release of Tommy. In the U.K. it was Track 604027 and was released on March 7, 1969 reaching #4 on the charts. The U.S. issue, Decca 732465, came out March 22, 1969 and got to # 19 in Billboard, #15 in Cash Box. It was The Who's first single issued in stereo. In both countries, the B-side was "Dogs Part II." Track #11 on My Generation - The Very Best Of The Who.
Originally released on the first Who album My Generation and subsequently in the U.K. on March 7, 1966 to compete against The Who's single "Substitute" which was their contract-breaking release. A legal matter, indeed! It managed to get only to #32. The B-side was "Instant Party" a/k/a "Circles." (the Shel Talmy produced version). "A Legal Matter" was Pete's first lead vocal with The Who. In the U.S., in addition to the album, it appeared on the B-side of "The Kids Are Alright." Not included on My Generation - The Very Best Of The Who. It is presently available on the boxset 30 Years Of Maximum R&B, The Who: The Ultimate Collection and stereo and mono versions appear on My Generation: Deluxe Edition.
It was released on the U.K. LP A Quick One (December 3, 1966) and the U.S. LP Happy Jack (May 1967). The closest it ever got to a single was as the B-side of "Whiskey Man" in Japan and on the CD single of "My Generation" in 1996. Track #6 on My Generation - The Very Best Of The Who. A true stereo version is available on the U.S. collection The Who: The Ultimate Collection and recent issues of A Quick One.
Pete Townshend: "When I wrote 'Magic Bus,' LSD wasn't even invented as far as I knew. Drug songs and veiled references to drugs were not part of The Who image. If you were in The Who and took drugs, you said, 'I take drugs,' and waited for the fuzz to come. We said it but they never came. We very soon got bored with drugs. No publicity value. Buses, however! Just take another look at Decca's answer to an overdue Tommy; The Who, Magic Bus, On Tour. Great title, swinging presentation. Also a swindle as far as insinuating that the record was live. Bastards. This record is what that record should have been. It's The Who at their early best. Merely nippers with big noses and small genitals trying to make the front page of The Daily News."
This song was originally written by Pete sometime in late 1965
and was mentioned by manager Chris Stamp in the Christmas 1965 issue of
Melody Maker as a possible follow-up single to "My Generation." The Who did
not, however, get around to recording it, so "Magic Bus" first appeared when the group The Pudding released it
as a single in April 1967. It failed to chart. Pete recalled in 1969: "It was recorded at a time when we had just returned
from our first trip to America having been conned left, right and center and no one really wanted to make a single
except Kit Lambert whose job was to see that we did. We all got absolutely paralytic drunk one lunch time
and by the time we arrived at the studio no one cared what we did. 'Magic Bus' was just a lot of fun -- Keith
bashing about and 'Jes' [Jess Roden] from the Alan Bown Set singing in that Stevie Winwood-type voice on the record." According
to engineer Damon Lyon-Shaw, this happened at the May 29, 1968 sessions and the recording was taken and never returned
by Kit Lambert.
It was by a group who later wrote to thank me for saying nice things about their record in the feature. The article is set up so that pop stars hear other people's records without knowing who they are by. They say terrible things about their best mates' latest and it all makes the pop scene even snottier and more competitive. Great. The record I said nice things about wasn't a hit, despite an electrifying riff. I pinched it, we did it, you bought it."
Released as Reaction 591001 on March
4, 1966 with B-side "Circles" but was soon withdrawn when producer Shel Talmy
threatened an injunction and reissued a week later with the B-side now cleverly retitled "Instant Party"
as a tribute to the same-named 1962 album by The Everly Brothers. Talmy's injunction still held, so this
single was withdrawn and issued with the non-Who B-side "Waltz For A Pig." Despite all this, it still managed to climb the charts to #5. In the
U.S. it was issued as Atco 45-6409 on April 2, 1966 in a shorter version (2'58) with the line "I look all
white but my dad was black" replaced with "I try going forward but my feet walk back." (This alternate
was also issued on Polydor in Canada and South Africa). The new vocal was almost certainly recorded at the same time as the
original vocal. This version has appeared on a bonus CD included with the first issues of The Who: The Ultimate
Collection. The U.S. single failed to chart, was re-released by Atco as 45-6509 in August 1967 and again failed
to chart. The B-side was "Waltz For A Pig." "Substitute" was re-released as a single in the
U.K. on 7 October 1976 where, a decade after its original release, it went to #7. It almost ties with "I
Can't Explain" as The Who's most-often performed song live. Track #4 on My Generation - The Very Best Of
The Who.
The original single was produced by Kit Lambert and engineered by Paul Clay at IBC Studios July 31-Aug. 1, 1966. Released in the U.K. as Reaction 591004 on August 26, 1966 and charting at #2 (#1 in Melody Maker). The U.S. release, on Decca 32058, was delayed until December 10, 1966. It failed to chart. The version on Meaty Beaty Big & Bouncy was intended for an early version of the A Quick One album and has been issued on CD only on the U.S./Canadian Meaty Beaty Big & Bouncy. An edited mono version also appears on a bonus disc included with the first run of The Who: The Ultimate Collection.
This act of rock 'n' roll solidarity started after the 28 June 1967 guilty verdict against Mick Jagger for drug possession. That night Pete had The Who's secretary call John, who was then aboard the QEII on his honeymoon, to get permission for Pete to play bass in his place on an emergency support single. (John, when called for an emergency message, thought someone in his family had died. Told what it was, he said "The Who can release LSD into the nation's water supply for all I f***ing care!") The next morning Pete, Roger and Keith went into De Lane Lea Studios in London to record this. That same day Keith Richards was given a guilty verdict for cannabis possession. Richards was given a year in jail and Jagger 3 months. The record was rush produced by Kit Lambert and released as Track 604006 as a double A-side with "Under My Thumb" on June 30, 1967. On the same day, Jagger and Richards were released on bail. Widespread protests over the severity of the sentences led to their overturn on appeal. The Who's single reached #44 in the charts and they never recorded another Stones single. The single was also released in Europe and Japan but not in the U.S. until Two's Missing in 1987. "The Last Time," on the reissued CD's, appears only on the boxset 30 Years Of Maximum R&B.
John Entwistle: "The worst thing I ever did, that bass solo. They decided that they wanted to repeat the bass solo idea from 'My Generation,' but 'Call Me Lightning' wasn't the right tempo for a bass solo, so it had to be simplified. I thought it was crap."
"Call Me Lightning" was played, along with "I Can't Explain," for producer Shel Talmy as part of their audition for a recording contract in November 1964. It might also have been in The Who's set lists at that time. Pete, suffering in 1968 from writer's block caused by the chart disappointment of "I Can See For Miles," dusted off the three year-old track to give The Who a new single to promote during their early 1968 North American tour. At the time it was decried for not being "progressive" but, as with The Beatles' "Lady Madonna" and The Rolling Stones' "Jumpin' Jack Flash," it marked a return to basic rock & roll values after psychedelia. Released in the U.S. as Decca 32288, it entered the charts on March 3, 1968 reaching #40 in Billboard and #38 in Cash Box. The B-side was an early mix of "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde." "Call Me Lightning" was also released as an A-side in Europe, Japan and Australia; in the U.K. it was the B-side of "Dogs." On the 1990's reissue CD's, this appears only on the boxset 30 Years Of Maximum R&B. A bizarre fake stereo version is on The Who: The Ultimate Collection.
Released in the U.K. as Track 2094012 October 15, 1971 with B-side "When I Was A Boy." It reached #16 in the charts. Also released as a single throughout the world except for the U.S. where it wasn't released until the Hooligans album in 1981. Track 15 on My Generation - The Very Best Of The Who.
Later that year, the song
was selected as the anthem of The United States Council For World Affairs. It
has been said that their is a version running three minutes longer than this in
The Who's vaults. Track 17 on My Generation - The Very Best Of The Who. This version ends with
a flute-like synthesizer part that was not on the original release. The Who: The Ultimate Collection has
the original version. Pete's demo was released on his 1999 album Lifehouse Chronicles. According to R. Rowley,
the beginning is played on a combination of an ARP synthesizer and a Lowrey organ. Click
here for more details.
It was played live during 1972 and was revived a few times after that reaching full prominence in The Who Canon during the 2000 tour after reviews of Pete's 1999 boxset Lifehouse Chronicles (which has Pete's demo version) noted the song seemed to forecast the rise of the Internet. On the 1990's reissued CD's, this appears only on the boxset 30 Years Of Maximum R&B where the beginning is crossfaded with the ending of "Join Together." According to R. Rowley the background music is Pete playing his guitar through his ARP 2600 synthesizer. To find out more, click here.

We introduced our Top 10 Camaros of the year two years ago. Typically assembled in the February issue, it's a collection of elite cars that we feel deserve one more look before we head into the New Year and begin focusing on what's ahead. It has become somewhat of a tradition, and in the process, has developed into one of our most popular newsstand issues of the year.
For the two previous "Best Of" issues, the Camaro Performers magazine staff held closed-door meetings and dissected about 40 car features as criteria to decide the 10 Best Camaros of that year. We actually picked out 11 because we couldn't agree on which one to throw back. Unfortunately, the same thing happened this year, only worse: since we consider every car featured in Camaro Performers magazine to be special in some way, whittling down the list was a highly difficult task. Suffice it to say, picking just 10 cars that deserved special mention was more cumbersome than in years previous, so we went ahead and chose 12 and decided to call this elite group the Best of the Best. To be completely honest, choosing just 12 cars wasn't enough, either, so we went with a "baker's dozen" and picked out 13 of the best Camaros of 2010.
The deciding factors that drove these special rides into consideration vary from car to car, but keep in mind big dollar builds don't automatically make the grade here. In some cases a badass demeanor, sheer attitude, and wicked horsepower were enough to pump any given Camaro up the ladder.
With those factors taken into account, this year's "Best of the Best" was carefully assembled by the Camaro Performers magazine staff, John the lunch truck guy, and a few sales people who were roaming the halls when we needed a "tie-breaker" decision. We even got the guys from Street Rodder magazine, with whom we share the same office space, to put in their two cents.
But seriously, it takes some amazing talent, great ideas, and years of experience to put together a car that looks better or can out-perform the one parked next door. So this elite collection of Camaros is dedicated to those who went that extra mile and paid special attention to the little details that make their car stand out from the masses.
We really enjoy hearing from our readers, so if you feel we missed the mark on some of our picks, feel free to write us and express your opinions at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Clarendon Elementary celebrates Chinese New YearBy Lucia Suarez
STAFF WRITER | January 05,2013Albert J. Marro / Staff Photo
Students at Clarendon Elementary School got a jump on the Chinese New Year 2013 on Friday with a daylong celebration. The actual Chinese New Year is Feb. 10.CLARENDON — Just after lunch on Friday, Zhang Ying-lei told a group of fourth-graders at Clarendon Elementary School that Chinese brush painting is "something different, something very special."
"You can always practice your Chinese art," Zhang told the students.
Zhang's workshop Friday was part of the school's daylong cultural day celebrating the end of the year of the dragon in the Chinese Lunar Calendar.
"A lot of work went into this day and it's worth it," said school principal Fred Valastro. "The kids get to pick up a different culture."
The school's art teacher Clare Bornarth said it is really important to learn about other cultures and did not want the Chinese New Year to pass without teaching the students about it.
"We wanted the children to move and learn about math and literature and the different art forms," she said.
The start of the Chinese Lunar Calendar usually falls in January or February and is represented by one of the 12 Chinese zodiac animals. The next — the year of the snake — will start on Feb. 10.
As part of the celebration, students and teachers participated in a handful of workshops that introduced them to Chinese art, folk tales, literature, mathematics, and Tai Chi, as well as other topics.
"I learned about the different food and how the emperors always wore a lot of stuff with dragons," said Ty LaVictorie, 11. "We learned that there are different ways to speak Chinese and Mandarin is the most popular."
The school teamed up with the Greater Rutland Asian Studies Project and the Asian Studies Outreach program at the University of Vermont to invite various guest teachers who grew up in China or have a connection to the country.
"It's very interesting. People who have lived in China have been showing us the idiosyncrasies of life in China," Valastro said. "The kids are learning a little bit of everything. It's unique."
Ping Clark, who has lived in the United States for 21 years, was on hand to teach students how to write numbers and names in Mandarin, China's official language. She said the students really enjoyed when she wrote their names in Chinese character.
"They have fun," Clark said. "Some are really good at writing in Chinese and asking questions about China."
"The kids were great," said Rich Marantz, director of Green Mountain Tai Chi in Manchester, who taught students the basic principles of Tai Chi. "Any time you can get to expose kids to another culture is great."
For sixth-grader Eli Crofoot, 11, one of his favorite parts of the day was learning about the dragon and the different cultural relationships in China and in the United States.
"In America dragons are evil," he said during lunch. "In China, dragons are the most positive thing."
Gabriel Walters, 11, said the story of how the Chinese New Year started was what he enjoyed. He said an evil spirit would always eat people's food, but someone told them to dress in red, have a lot of lights and to make a lot of noise to send him away.
"Those were the things he was scared of," Gabriel said.
The day ended with a Chinese Dragon Parade and Naxi Dance put on by the sixth-grade class.
Valastro said he hopes this year's cultural day will kick-start a new annual tradition at the school.
"Especially in a rural school, students are very sheltered," he said. "To have kids experience different cultures is great."

No, you're not imagining things, and no, we didn't reverse the photos. The steering wheel on this month's cover car is on the right, the better for keeping this C1 under control on the roads Down Under.
Owned by Barbara and David Kelly of Queensland, this '62 Vette has had virtually every square inch of its fiberglass body customized in one way or another. In fact, just about the only things left untouched are the upper door hinges.
The Kellys initially laid eyes on the car at their first club run after joining the Queensland Corvette Club in 2002. Originally imported from America by Australian rock star Jimmy Barnes, the car was being displayed by then-owner Bill Dixon. It was love at first sight, but Bill wasn't entertaining thoughts of selling the C1 at the time. Barbara and David were forced to wait until the next year when they saw Bill and his Corvette at the Brisbane Hotrod and Street Machine show in the Queensland Club area. Bill mentioned he was thinking of selling the car, and a price was agreed on the next day. Barbara and David had their car.
Their first drive with the C1 proved far from positive. They were shocked to find that such a beautiful Corvette drove "like an old truck." Once the two had the car home, they set out to make the Vette an all-around stellar piece.
At the top of the agenda was improving the car's ride and handling. Keith Fackrell and Geoff Hay at KCF Rallysport in Kippa-Ring got the call to revamp the front and rear suspension by mounting late-C4 parts. They started with a one-off tubular front crossmember, which was used to mount the front suspension from a '96 Grand Sport. The unit bolted to the original crossmember mount points with welded-in upper control-arm and shock mounts. For steering duties, KCF modified an Oldsmobile rack-and-pinion unit, which was revalved by Brisbane-based Corvette Automotive for better feel. The rack is connected to a Flaming River column in polished stainless. Custom adjustable shocks were fitted to the front end for the best handling possible.
Out back, KCF modified the C1 chassis and mounts to accept the 3.70-geared Dana 44 rearend out of a '96 Vette. During the process, KCF built custom coilover shocks and mounting brackets to replace the original '96 transverse-mounted leafspring. The custom mounting system spreads the rear suspension load over three points rather than using the original shock mount, giving the car excellent rear-handling qualities.
From there, it was time to prep the Vette for its drivetrain. KCF converted the early-style front engine mounts to late-model side mounts and fabricated a transmission crossmember to mount a T56 six-speed. While underneath the car, KCF also performed some needed chassis repairs. Little did the crew at KCF Rallysport know they would eventually spend 600 hours getting the running gear up to snuff on the C1. As the accompanying photos attest, the results were well worth the effort.
To push the new suspension and steering to the max, Sam's Performance in Sydney built a 383 stroker pushing over 400 hp on the dyno. The motor has a Scat stroker crank, as well as forged rods and pistons, ported and polished Trick Flow aluminum heads with Isky valvesprings, and a custom-grind Sam's camshaft. Induction duties are handled by a Katicore EFI manifold with eight individual throttle bodies controlled by an Autronic EFI computer, with a CPI ignition and four coil packs to light the air/fuel mixture.
Power from the motor is routed through a T56 six-speed tranny that is attached to a modified Hurst shifter and connected to the C4 rear by a custom-made driveshaft. Exhaust is piped out through a one-off system built by Exotic Exhaust.
Once all the new running gear was in place, it was time to work on the body, interior, and paint. While Annvid Upholstery was recovering the stock seats in vanilla Scottish leather, LDI Kustom Koncepts went to work smoothing, frenching, and modifying the body of the '62. Modifications included removing the front sill molds and side-scoops, molding the underdash area and kick panels, reshaping the wheel arches to better fit the wheels, removing the door handles inside and out (they've been replaced with a remote-operated solenoid system), and a litany of other body and interior tweaks. Lindsay Houston handled the task of spraying the Corvette in PPG 24 Karat Gold and Cinnamon Candy as well as blending in the flames and highlights.
The total rebuild took three years and an astonishing 3,500 man hours of work, but according to Barbara and David, the results make all the time worthwhile. Since the Corvette emerged from the shop, it's been on the Australian National Show Car Circuit, and it was selected as a finalist in the '06 Meguiar's Superstar Series Top Mild Custom class at the Sydney Motorex.
From the eye-popping color to the endless depth of the customization and modifications, this Corvette has definitely achieved one-of-a-kind status.
