Arizona. Mt. Lemmon. My 1st but not last RR
There are, unfortunately, no pictures. They were planned, but things didn't quite work out that way. I think the story itself will be entertaining enough. Enjoy.
What Happened to Your Leg?!
Based on a true story
Upon witnessing me walking on crutches or riding in a wheelchair, with my lower right leg encased in a giant 20lb beehive of a cast, my friends, as well as many strangers ask, Oh my god! What happened to your leg?!
My sisters advice is, if there are women present; make your story as Nobel and heroic as possible. Apparently, chicks love that stuff. So, with that advice in mind, here is the story of what happened to my leg.
It was a cool sunny December first, and I was racing up Mount Lemon on my motorcycle. A clear Saturday afternoon, the rush of clean crisp mountain air, the smell of pines, the roar of the engine, my tires spitting rock and dirt out behind me. A great day for a ride you might think, but all was not well. For you see, I was on a mission. I was racing to the top of the mountain to rescue a litter of kittens that were trapped in a burning vehicle, which was teetering precariously on the edge of a cliff. How did the kittens get into this horrible predicament? I dont know, I wasnt there for that part of the story. I was roaring at full throttle, sliding around switchback after switchback, spitting rocks to and fro, all the while picturing those poor helpless kittens just waiting for rescue. Finally, I came around the last turn at the top of the mountain, to a sight I was not at all expecting to see. I slammed on my rear brake, sliding to an abrupt halt! There, standing between me and the kittens, were .. Ninjas!
Silent and motionless they stood, their bodies draped in black from head to toe, only their beady little eyes staring out from beneath their hoods. Their steel blades glimmered in the sun, as the rushing wind scattered leaves around us. There we stood, me glaring at them, them glaring at me, no one sure who would make the first move. Off in the distance, I swear I heard a classic western stand-off theme. Then with a mighty scream, one of them lept into the air towards me! I tucked and rolled, and with a strong stiff arm, planted my steel knuckled riding glove squarely into his ninja nuts! Down he went with a mighty whimper. I grabbed his sword and the battle erupted. Ninjas leaping and bouncing from every direction. Shurikens whizzing this way and that, swords slashing through the air, and the mighty clang of steel as blades bounced off one another. Now, Im not as skilled a fighter as these highly trained warriors but that wasnt going to stop me from saving those kittens. I managed to fight my way through them, taking a few hits along the way, but my motorcycle armor protected me until the last ninja had fallen, and the battle had come to an end. Ninjas . just one more reason to ride AGATT.
I rushed to the burning vehicle, pried the door open, and started pulling out kittens by the handful. I managed to get the last one out just as the vehicle erupted into flame. Or A fireball of flame, as Americas Most Shocking Videos likes to say. Oddly enough, Ive never seen a fireball comprised of any other substance. Hmm? Oh well, back to the story. So there I stood on the mountain top, surrounded by kittens that were slightly singed, but seemed none too worse for the wear. Now that I had them, the story was not over, oh no, not by a long shot. Stored within one of the kittens collar, was the secret code to disarm the bomb hidden in the orphanage, in the village at the base of the mountain.
I stuffed kittens into every pocket and gear bag and hopped back on the bike just as the burning vehicle fell off the cliff and exploded in the canyon below. With a pull of the clutch, stomp on the shifter, and quick blip of the throttle, we were on our way, hauling ass back down the mountain as a mighty fireball (yes, of flame) rose up behind us, making me look like a total badass.
Back down the mountain we went, again sliding around switchback after switchback, engine roaring, rocks flying. We had just made it to the bottom when the path was blocked once again. This time, by Terrorists!
WTF?! How did they get into our country in the first place? I imagine they simply walked across our unsecure borders, or waltzed right past TSA agents who were too busy strip searching our elderly, harassing our wounded vets, or sexually molesting our children and stealing our high end electronics to notice a real threat to this country, much less actually stop one. At any rate, there they where, head scarves, flowing robes, and suicide bomb vests, riding high on the backs of camels that were mounted with machine guns and missiles. Oh, and one guy was carrying a dirty nuke in a briefcase just for good measure.
Unlike the Ninjas, they didnt wait. Immediately upon seeing me, there was a mighty cry of Abalabalabalaba! ..or something to that affect, as they came charging towards me, machine guns blazing, and heat seeking missiles firing off the backs of the camels. I thought I was doomed. Now, my KLR has the Thermobob upgrade which keeps the engine heat down, and fortunately, the heat seekers werent able to lock on. Whew! Thank you Thermobob! I stayed on the bike this time, rather than fight hand to hand. I knew I couldnt out run bullets, but the bike could out run camels. I weaved back and forth between them, dodging bullets, missiles and exploding jihadis. Camel bits and terrorist parts were flying everywhere. I did my best to interweave and draw their fire at one another, as any action hero worth his salt would do. For the most part it worked and they basically whiped each other out.
Just as I thought it was all over, I again heard the cry of Abalabalabalaba! or, what ever. I turned to see the last terrorist opening the briefcase with the dirty nuke. Oh my god! I was too far away from him, there was no way I could get to him in time to stop him! What could I possibly do?! After all Id been through, I was going to die right here with my pockets full of kittens. Then it hit me. Wait! The kittens! The ninjas! I reached into my pocket, grabbed a kitten by the tail, and whipped it at the terrorist. The kitten cart wheeled through the air like a six pointed shuriken of cuddly claws, furious fluff, and screeching death! Smack! It hit the terrorist right in the face! The kitten dug in its claws and went to work, slashing and biting, and peeing in his face. The terrorist was jumping and dancing and screaming, trying to get the little beast off of him. In the commotion, he dropped the briefcase and the bomb went live! There I was, still trapped between a dirty nuke on one side, and a pack of camels blocking the road on the other. Without hesitation , I twisted the throttle, racing towards the terrorist. I snatched the kitten from his butchered face and stuffed it back in my pocket. Then with a quick spin of the back tire and change of direction, I rode up a fallen log, launched up a camels hump, and into the air as a glorious bright orange mushroom cloud rose behind us, once again, making me look like a total badass.
We managed to outrace the blast, it was after all, a dirty bomb, not a real, city killing, military grade nuke.
From the base of the mountain we roared through the streets of Oracle. Both streets, I think. We zipped past the out of business grocery store, and the fire house, which was bigger than the grocery store. We blasted past their horse and through their stoplight and made it to the parking lot of the orphanage. The place was a mad house! Some charity group had dropped off an entire truck load of puppies for the kids to play with. Great! Now I had to save kittens, babies, AND puppies!
Just as I was climbing off the bike, I was faced with the most vile evil one can possibly imagine. An evil from the most horrible, darkest depths of hell. Vile, soulless, hollow creatures, so hideous that simply being in their presence, even the most hardened man wants to just sit down and cry.
They were Politicians!
Now for those of you who have never encountered a Politician, (and lucky you by the way) let me describe these wretched creatures to you. In appearance, they look somewhat human. Not human like you or I, but as something that used to be human, but is no longer. Kind of like a zombie, which they are often mistaken for, but they are far more evil. They were manufactured as infiltration units to blend in among us and take over our society. Programmed to lie every time their mouths moved, to take what is not theirs, to make the most asinine, inhuman decisions youve ever heard of, to cause as much human suffering as possible, and feed off the pain and misery of others. In fact, it is believed that if there ever came a time, when someone, somewhere WASNT suffering, all the politicians would scream, shut down and self destructed.
As I said, they were originally made to infiltrate and blend in. They are able to do that somewhat, but being lazy and evil by nature, their appearance degrades over time, making them easy to spot. Most of the time they can be seen wandering aimlessly about the streets, moaning and stumbling as if they are drunk. They wear old out of date suits, have lost most of their hair (thought they do still try to comb it over to fool us. It doesnt work) Their fat gelatinous bodies slosh about like an old beach ball half full of dank putrid water. Their skin is usually some shade of grayish. Apparently politicn takes a tremendous toll on the body, and very quickly makes them as hideous on the outside as they are on the inside. The only thing that still shines on them is their neon white, glow in the daylight teeth, and their large empty, lying eyes.
Much like zombies, they are rather harmless and easy to avoid if they are alone or few in number. They only become truly dangerous when in large groups. But even alone, DO NOT let them touch you, for they have a fierce arsenal at their disposal. Ill mention a couple here.
The Curse of Political Correctness: This will freeze you in your tracks, afraid to think, feel, or say anything, out of sheer terror that someone, somewhere might be offended, and that youll owe them a free payout, so that they wont have to work for a living like the rest of us.
The Wrath of Redistribution: Touched by this, and in an instant, youll see all you worked for be taken away and given to someone who has done nothing to earn anything.
In addition, they have the ability to spew large amounts of sticky red tape from their finger tips. Kind of like Spiderman with his web shooters. This red tape will stick to anything. It binds and gums things up, and brings all progress, logic, and good to a standstill.
I think Ive gone on long enough about these vile trolls, I just wanted you to know what kind of pure, unadulterated evil I was up against. Simply by being near them, their dark magic was already starting to take affect. My whole world had gone dark, my head was spinning, I couldnt make up from down. Voices in my head were saying, Give up, Abandon all hope, This is too much for you, Resistance is futile. In fact, I almost hung my head in shame and walked away. But then a happy yip of a puppy, and a childs laughter caught my ear. I cant walk away and leave them to this fate! I said to myself. Then the clouds of doom started to lift and I could see clearly again as their spell started to break.
Luckily there werent too awful many of them. I managed to weave in and out of them, ducking earmarks here, and dodging petitions there. They were spewing red tap this way and that. A single strand of red tape snagged my leg and began to slow me down. Then another strand snagged me, then another, and another. I whipped out my Leatherman and began slashing at the tape with my blade. It seemed that for every strand of red tape I slashed away, two more took its place, as these wretched beasts gained more and more ground on me. I was almost entirely cocooned and thought I might not make it out of this one. Then, suddenly, the politicians stopped coming towards me. For you see, once a politician has something mired down in red tape, they really have no desire to pursue it any further or finish what they started. So long as its good and mucked up for everyone else, theyre satisfied.
With their attention no longer focused on me, they returned to wandering around aimlessly. I managed to quietly cut myself free from the tape and make a dash for the orphanage! Seeing that I had escaped, they started their vile Filibuster incantation as a final attempt to bore me to death and stop me from reaching the door, but I had my own defenses. I unleashed a hail of my newly discovered Shuri-kitten weapons upon them. The mighty fur balls attacked like a pack of ravenous, blood thirsty Tribbles. They clawed out the eyes and bit out the tongues of the politicians.
Now, as you may or may not know, politicians are not good at making decisions, and the more there are, the less likely a decision will ever be made. It is a major chink in their armor. Many a time entire hoards of them will perish over many lifetimes before any simple and logical solution would ever be reached. I used this to my advantage. As they regrouped and tried to decide how best attack me, I crept up from behind and mimicked their harsh, scratchy mechanical voices, presenting them with several other attack options. This started them bickering and going into great debate, with promises of glorious campaigns which they expected someone else to pay for. At the moment however, they forgotten all about me. This allowed me to sneak past them and get into the orphanage.
Once inside, I managed to locate the bomb fairly quickly, mainly due to the help of a Bloodhound puppy. (awww) Unfortunately, due to all the delays, there was no time to actually disarm the bomb, even with the code in my hand. Unable to come up with a plan in the fraction of the second I had left, I just stomped my foot on top of it to take the blast myself and spare the innocents. BOOM! The bomb went off! I was sent flying across the room, reeling in tremendous pain. As I lay there, head spinning, leg screaming, my ankle shattered to bits, I wondered if I had been successful and managed to save anyone, or if Id failed, and everyone had perished. Was it all for nothing, I wondered. As the smoke began to clear, and I was fading in and out of consciousness from the pain, I heard, in the distance, the laughter of children, yipping of puppies, and mewing of kittens as they frolicked among the flowers and butterflies under a rainbow. Then, I saw the most wondrous sight. The politicians, upon witnessing humans and animals experiencing such uninhibited joy, they began shrieking in horror as they went offline and self destructed.
It was a long treacherous adventure, and Im laid up for a long recovery, but in the end, my selfless sacrifice saved the lives of countless kittens, puppies, and babies.
So ladies let the lovin commence.
What Happened to Your Leg?!
The Directors Cut
The story above was based on a true story. In Hollywood terms, that means that somewhere there is a guy, and he has a leg. Thats really all Hollywood needs to take a small, unremarkable tale, spin it into a grand epic, and sell it to the public as absolute fact. Below is the short version of what really happened.
When life gives you Mount Lemon, take lots of Percocet.
I had spent the morning riding around Coolidge and Oracle with some guys I met on this site through Southwest Dual Sport Riders Club. They are a nice bunch of guys and I was really enjoying exploring part of the state Id never seen. Our ultimate goal was the top of Mount Lemon, the back way.
We had just started up the mountain, past a campground and into some tight switchbacks. Unlike the story above, I was not racing around them at full throttle. Im not that skilled. I was taking them very slow, 1st gear in most cases. I came around one and sort of bounced over an exposed boulder in the road. Thinking over this many times, Im still a bit confused on what happened. Ive been over larger obstacles with no problem. I guess it just bounced me the wrong way. My front end went all squirrely and I was headed towards the embankment. In hindsight, coming to rest mostly upright against the bank wouldve been better. I managed to get the bike under control and stopped, avoiding the actual wreck. The instant I stopped though, I was off balance and fell over, with the bike pinning my foot beneath it. It all happened so slow that there was no actual impact. I just put my arms out to catch myself and rolled away from the bike. That all would have been well and good, and I couldve gotten up and continued on with my adventure, if it were not for the part where my foot had gotten pinned. Once I was on the ground and everything had stopped moving, I felt an immediate and horrible pain in my lower right leg. The horror was intensified as I looked down to see my foot pinned down facing the rear of the bike. That in itself wouldnt have been such a problem except that the rest of my body was facing 180 degrees in the opposite direction, towards the front of the bike. In an adrenaline rage I manage to flip my body over facing the direction of my foot, and pull it out from under the bike. I then clawed my way a couple feet up the bank and lay there writhing in tremendous pain. Jack and Paul, who were behind me, pulled up quickly, and Bill, who was ahead and hadnt seen anyone in his mirror in a while, came back in a few minutes. I was going in and out of semi consciousness, so not sure who has looking me over and who was looking the bike over, but thank you to all of you. After several failed attempts to stand, a ride down the mountain to the fire station in a Jeep full of hunters, (thank you so much guys) I was eventually transported to Oro Valley Hospital to find out my ankle was shattered. Surgery the next morning, home a couple days later. 1 steel plate, 12 screws from 3 different directions, one metric ton of morphine and Percocet later . I should make a full recovery and be able to walk again ..in 6 weeks. Grrr. I guess the bright side is that it wasnt any worse, I was with other people, and the bike is fine. I cant believe something so small, slow and stupid, caused so much damage. My sisters reply was that she could say the same of some guys shes dated. So, here I be. Lots of time, lots of drugs, and very, very little to do but wait until I can walk and ride again.

Immensely entertaining! What kind of riding Boots were you wearing? I'll make sure to avoid those at all costs! . Glad to hear you're alright and heal up soon.

Yea, don't mess with bill about his speed. As I was laying there sort of going in and out of semi consciousness, I heard Bill say he thought it was his fault. After I got to the hospital and they stabilized the pain so I could think clearly, I made a point to call him and let him know I did't blame him. That would be a terrible thing to have on one's conscience. I took that turn at my own pace, and what I thought was an overly safe pace. As I stated in the story above, I'm not entirely sure what went wrong. Just an unlucky bad bounce I guess.
I just got back from my 2 week follow up with my surgeon. He says everything is healing great, even though my foot looks like something from a horror movie. I call it "The Franken-Foot". I'll try in the next day or so to get xrays and pics posted. Doc expecting almost full recovery. Says that ankle will always be a bit stiff since it was utterly destroyed,(always a good thing to hear from your Doc) but eventually I'll be able to walk and function just fine. He did warn me not to ever try running a marathon, but I don't think I was in any danger of that anyway. Fun stuff.

Jeepers. We wanna' see the trailer to the movie! You were awesome!
I've broken lots of bones on my motorcycles over the decades, but the two very most painful was a shattered shoulder in 1981 and a broken ankle on a rocky powerline hill in 2001. I couldn't even ride back down the trail. I straddled the back of my son's YZ and we'd go 50 yards and let me rest and whimper. Meanwhile, other son rode down a ways, walked back up and rode my bike down and repeat. They still giggle at my wailing...
No surgery or pins for that ankle, but I found it a most debilitating injury. I won't go into the shoulder, but while extremely painful, it wasn't as tough. Just months of rehab to get the range of motion back. Ankles are precious. I wear better boots now, or at least boots designed for the job.
Thanks for the writing. Very entertaining.

Alright, so there arent any pics of the adventure, but here are some of the aftermath.
To answer DurtKlods question, I was wearing Thor 50/50 boots. And yes DurtKlod, avoid them at all costs! Despite the manufacturers claim that they offer adequate protection and are good for Dual Sport riding, I can attest first hand that they are not. They offered no ankle protection what so ever. I dont imagine any other manufacturers short boot would have done any better. I WILL NEVER WEAR A SHORT BOOT AGAIN! I dont recommend that any of you do either. When Im able to ride again, Im investing in some tall boots made of Kevlar, Adamantium, and what ever military grade bomb-proof material I can find. On a serious note, can anyone out there suggest/vouch for a good comfortable riding boot with good anti-rotational ankle support? Because Im only 2 and a half weeks into my estimated 6 weeks recovery, and Ive already decided that Id pretty much rather be shot in the head, than go through this again. This really sucks!
So below are the results of my unintended Thor 50/50 crash test. Learn from my pain fellow adventurers.
!WARNING! You may not want to look at these if youve eaten recently. (or ever)

SIDI CROSSFIRE's
SIDI CROSSFIRE MX boots have very good support. They are somewhat inflexible laterially, but since we're not wearing them for a hike that is likely what you want.
Nasty scars. Make me want to put my SIDI Adventure's up for sale.

The reason I went with the Thor 50/50's, was because my bike is my daily driver, so I wanted boots that were a comfortable daily walker. Not worth the trade off I found out. But I do want something I can tolerate on my feet for most of the day.

Saw my Doc yesterday for my 6 week review.
Good news: Bones are healed solid and Doc wants me to start putting weight on it to start building the leg back up. I need to use a walking boot/cast. At the moment though, my ankle won't make a 90 degree angle. The muscles are locked up at about 120 to 135 degrees so I can't put the boot on. I'm doing stretches to loosen the ankle up so I can use the boot and eventually regain full range of motion. The muscles in my right leg are almost gone from not being used for so long, whereas my left leg is bulked up from supporting the majority of my weight. Muscle leg vs scrawny leg, they look kinda funny next to each other. I have another appointment in 6 weeks, which I suspect will be my last unless anything goes wrong. But I still have a ways to go yet before I'm mostly functional and of any use to anybody.
The cabin fever is driving me nuts and I can't wait to be mobile again. Whenever I can though, I am getting out to do as much riding as possible. (see below)
While I was at the Dr's office in the exam room, there was a guy in the bay right across from me. I noticed his leg x-ray displayed on his monitor. He had lower leg / ankle fractures identical to mine. We got to talking, he asked what happened to my leg, and I told him I dropped my motorcycle on it. His wife sort of laughed and said, "That's exactly what he did." The Doc that was treating him, (not my Doc) rolled his eyes, shook his head, and in a somewhat irritated voice said, "There's a lesson to be learned here about motorcycles boys. You should probably listen to it." Then he huffed and walked out of the room. I think its more a lesson in saving up and buying the most bad-ass protective gear you can, and not listening to the manufacturer telling you their useless crap is the best thing since sliced bread. Talking with the guy further, I found out his Doc has a 30 something year old son who has very nearly been killed twice on a motorcycle, so the Doc really doesn't like bikes.
Luckily for this guy, his fractures weren't as serious as mine and didn't require the installation of the high-end, guaranteed life time TSA harassment apparatus. Ie.. plates and screws. It turns out this guy was just wearing regular shoes. How the hell he got away with less damage than me is a mystery.
For anyone who's following this thread and actually gives a damn, I'll keep my progress posted from time to time until this mess is over.

I have crossfires and adventure boots. I wear the crossfires on all off road except when I'm on my F8 which I use the Adventures for. Now if I drop that big old F8 on myself I'll wish I was wearing the Crossfires instead, but it's all a compromise.
As for shifting with the full on motocross boots, it does take a little getting used to, but folks have been shifting just fine with stiff motocross boots for a long time. I have my shift lever positioned one spline up from what most people would normally have. That allows me to upshift easily and I downshift by moving my foot off the peg.

Just a quick update:
So, I'm out of the wheelchair, off the crutches, and out of the boot. I've been hobbling around for the last few weeks in the boot using a cane. Just the other day I managed to get a shoe on that foot. I had to unlace it all the way, because my right foot is still larger than my left. I don't know if it will ever be the size it was before the accident. I was actually starting to worry that I'd have to buy shoes in two different sizes. So now I'm hobbling around in normal shoes, mostly using a cane, but can make it short distances without. The bones are healed according to my Dr, but I still don't have much range of motion in the ankle. That's the part that's driving me crazy. Don't know how long it's going to take to get it mostly functional again. At any rate though, it is getting better, I'm a bit more mobile, and should be able to start driving again real soon. That will let me start working again in some limited capacity at least, which I desperately need. So, for anyone following this, that's where I am, at the moment.
I hope evreyone else's life is going great, and you are enjoying many great rides. Have fun and please stay safe.

Louis Cartier created the Santos watch in 1904, sealing his friendship with the aviator Alberto Santos Dumont. The famous aviator's wish was granted: he could check the time while flying. The dial's rounded angles and exposed screws made this an iconic timepiece. Cartier marked the centenary of the watch with the introduction of a steel version.

Compared to paint and marble, light as a medium is a newcomer to the art world, but that hasn't stopped many artists from embracing it to great effect — highlights from the past few years include Anthony McCall's Vertical Works and James Turrell at the Gagosian Gallery.
The Hayward Gallery has assembled the best in 'light art' to create a mesmeric and brilliantly entertaining exhibition. The show opens with a dazzling work by Leo Villareal that resembles hundreds of twinkling stars flicking on and off in an hypnotising ballet. Contrasting with this in the same room is a subtle work by David Batchelor — screens face a white wall and project bright colours at it creating an afterglow akin to the sky just after sundown.
There are several artists who've managed to give light a feeling of density and weight, whether through the sheer intensity of light or inventive use of particulates. McCall is featured as you'd expect and his 'solid' beam of light is projected at neck level so visitors will hesitate before walking into it for fear of decapitation.
There were also several works that boggle the mind, from Jim Campbell's suspended sequins where shadowy figures appear when viewed from a certain angle to Bill Culbert's unlit light bulb whose reflection shows it as lit up.
The exhibition covers the full range of emotions from the humour of seeing a 'splat' of light on the floor through to the intensity of Olafur Eliasson's fountains in strobe lighting, where water appears as if stopped in mid-flight.
Cynics might see this as a show full of clever gimmicks but we challenge anyone to visit and not be overawed by the powerful works on display. 2013 has only just begun but this exhibition has thrown down the gauntlet. It will take something very special to top it.
Light Show is on at the Hayward Gallery until 28 April. Tickets are £11 for adults, concessions available.

"This is a very good goalie jersey. It is light weight so I can wear it during the summer or playing indoor soccer. I have worn it for a couple of months now, playing 3 - 4 games a week and it has held up nicely. The sizing is acurate in that I ordered a XXL and it has some room to it so I don't feel constricted when I play. I would recommend this product to a friend." (E5472)

Link Up
The fifth-generation Camaro benefits tremendously from basic suspension modifications, including sport sway bars and sport springs. However, the factory sway bar end links are not designed for maximum performance and adjustability. New Heavy Duty End Links from Hotchkis Sport Suspension are an easy, bolt-on solution to the problem thanks to aircraft-quality materials, rugged construction, and track-ready adjustability.
The suspension engineers at Hotchkis designed this high-quality, adjustable end link set specifically for the Camaro. Front and rear links feature high-quality three-piece PTFE lined heim joints for smooth quiet operation, specially machined metric high-articulation spacers, zinc-coated grade-10.9 hardware and CNC-machined aluminum sleeves with machined wrench flats. An excellent upgrade for your '10 or '11 Camaro with Hotchkis sway bars, the adjustable design allows you to corner balance the suspension. For more information, call Hotchkis Sport Suspension at 866-735-6422 or visit them online at www.hotchkis.net
Easy HP
Airaid Filter Company is proud to announce the release of the new MXP Intake Systems for the all-new '10- 11 Chevrolet Camaro V-6 and V-8 LS3/L99 engines. Engineered to deliver serious horsepower and torque gains, Airaid's newest kits add an additional 16 hp and 13 lb-ft of torque for the V-8 engine and 11 hp and 14 lb-ft of torque for the V-6 engine.
Each kit comes with all the necessary hardware, easy to follow instructions and their no-hassle warranty. For more information or to find an Airaid dealer near you call 800-498-6951 or visit them on the web at www.airaid.com.
Carbon Spoiler
Anvil Auto designed a carbon fiber rear spoiler for the fifth-gen Camaro that mirrors its notched front end, while continuing the subtle character lines running from the C-pillars back over the deck. Where the stock unit stops short at the sides of the trunk opening, this one continues over the rear quarters and conforms nicely with the rear-end styling of the car. It uses the same stud locations as the factory spoiler and comes with neoprene pads under the overhanging ends. Spoilers are available in both, gloss, or satin finishes. For great carbon-fiber products go to www.anvilauto.com or call them at 888-723-8882.
Performance Brake Upgrade
The versatile Wilwood W6AR forged billet radial mount caliper is unmatched in its class for superior stopping power and rugged durability. New bolt-on Wilwood big brake kits for the '10 and '11 Camaros are configured for high-performance street and show, or professional-level track competition for use in conjunction with wheel, tire, and suspension upgrades. Complete kits include W6AR calipers, 14.25-inch diameter SV-GT competition or SV-SRP drilled and slotted street performance rotors, aluminum rotor hats, matched high-performance Wilwood brake pads, and radial-mount caliper bracket kits with premium-grade fasteners to mount the calipers to the stock attachment points. For more information contact Wilwood Engineering at 805-388-1188, or visit their website at www.wilwood.com.
Programming Performance
DiabloSport is proud to offer the all-new Trinity Performance Monitor. The Trinity will support '99-'11 Ford, Chrysler/Dodge, and GM vehicles both Gas and Diesel.

Back in the September issue, we featured a beautiful '55 Chevy, and truth be told; I was a bit hesitant to do so since we haven't showcased one in many years. If you recall that month's Shop column, I even reached out to see if there was any interest in us showcasing more of them; survey says-yes! It seems many of you want us to keep to our roots and showcase Tri-Fives in a technical format that we're known for. Thanks for the responses and on top of the traditional Camaros, Chevelles, and Novas; we're adding these gems to the list of cars that you want to see most. -Henry D
Tri-Five Tech
More Tri-Fives, you ask? Yes, immediately, if not sooner. Be sure to include budget tech, including but not limited to: rust repair and prevention, saving patina, electronic ignition upgrades, engine swaps like a carb'd 4.8 or 5.3 LS with a five-speed, six-cylinder tech (yes, I know, limited audience), overdrive auto or manual swaps, drum brake upgrades, disc swaps, junkyard fuel injection, S-10 rear differential swap, vintage stock car style mods like braced control arms, and front framehorns with twin shocks at each corner, et al, ad nauseam. So, anything really.
Feature cars that are budget minded and/or outside the box would be nice to see too. Also, you produce great covers and magazine.

This letter is regarding your Shop column. One of your questions asked "What about more Tri-Fives in the magazine?" My husband and I both think it's a great idea! I met my husband, Andy, when I was 17 and at the time he had a '56 Chevy. Since I have known him, I have had the love for cars as he does. In our 42 years of marriage he has built many of them, too.
We have two '55 Chevys. Mine is a station wagon that he did a complete frame off with. We purchased the car from the original owner who left this car tucked away sitting in his backyard for about 20 years. He even gave Andy the original document from when he purchased the car, along with the log book on repairs and everything he had done to the car. The car was purchased from Ernie Porters in Pasadena and was assembled in Van Nuys, California.
In building the car we had many bumps along the way. It sat for two years in a body shop before Andy could even start working on it. Andy put his heart and soul into this car and it now has a ZZ4 with a Tremec five-speed and a 9-inch rearend. I am very proud of the car and we have won a number of awards with it.

Forever Young
Guys, thanks for a great product. When my CHP is delivered, the world stops turning. I start thumbing through the pages before I start the walk back to the house and I feel like a kid again. When I was 17, I had a '55 that was powered by a small-block, I did my first engine swap, and the list goes on and on, and my hot rodding years started with that Tri-Five.
In fact it was the '55 that put Chevrolet on the map. As hot rodders we owe a lot to the Tri-Five era. I was 7 years old when the '55 came out and I will never forget seeing one for the first time. That Yellow and Ivory scheme changed my life forever. That said, I vote for more Tri-Fives. Bobby Reed Via Email
Old School
We would like to see more on Tri-Fives, since we are currently restoring a '57 that won't be all original. I'd like to see something the normal person can afford, such as big-block builds, brakes, steering, and how to install an air-conditioning system. I would like to see an old school rebuild without the big wheels and low-profile tires. Thank you.

Straw is an agricultural by-product, the dry stalk of a cereal plant, after the grain or seed has been removed. Straw makes up about half of the yield of cereal crops such as barley, oats, rice, rye and wheat. In times gone by, it was regarded as a useful by-product of the harvest, but with the advent of the combine harvester, straw has become more burdensome to agriculture.
However, straw can be put to many uses, old and new.

Just as there is no typical profile for swindlers, neither is there one for their victims. Virtually anyone can fall prey to fraudulent crimes. … Certainly victims of high-yield investment frauds may possess a level of greed which exceeds their caution as well as a willingness to believe what they want to believe. However, not all fraud victims are greedy, risk-taking, self-deceptive individuals looking to make a quick dollar. Nor are all fraud victims naive, uneducated, or elderly.
Confidence tricksters often rely on the greed and dishonesty of the mark, who may attempt to out-cheat the con artist, only to discover that he or she has been manipulated into losing from the very beginning. This is such a general principle in confidence tricks that there is a saying among con men that "you can't cheat an honest man.
Nevertheless, some tricks depend on the honesty of the victim. In a common scam, as part of an apparently legitimate transaction, the victim is sent a worthless check, which the victim then deposits. The victim is then urged to forward the apparent value of the check to the trickster as cash, possibly keeping a small portion of the money as a commission, which they may do before discovering the check bounces. Another fashionable scenario (as of 2006) has the victim recruited as a "financial agent" to collect "business debts". Paper checks are not always involved: funds may be transferred electronically from another victim.
Sometimes con men rely on naive individuals who put their confidence in get-rich-quick schemes, such as "too good to be true" investments. It may take years for the wider community to discover that such investment schemes are bogus. By the time they are discovered, many people may have lost their life savings to something in which they have been persuaded to invest.
The confidence trickster often works with one or more accomplices called shills, who help manipulate the mark into accepting the con man's plan. In a traditional confidence trick, the mark is led to believe that he will be able to win money or some other prize by doing some task. The accomplices may pretend to be random strangers who have benefited from successfully performing the task.

OKALOOSA ISLAND —Members of the Tourist Development Council on Wednesday voiced frustration with the Okaloosa County Commission's latest efforts to oversee tourism spending.
Five of the six council members present at the mid-day meeting said the new requirements regarding approval of sponsorships are too cumbersome.
The TDC wants to approve a $10,000 sponsorship for an Oakley Fishing redfish tournament in Destin in August 2013. Under recent changes to the tourism development department's policies, all TDC sponsorships — no matter the dollar amount — must be approved by commissioners.
TDC member Lino Maldonado said he disagrees with that policy and noted that the council doesn't need to be "babysat" by the commissioners.
"Why are we as volunteers even wasting our time doing this?" he said at the meeting at the Emerald Coast Convention Center.
Maldonado said sponsorships should follow the same guidelines as regular department spending. Those guidelines allow any purchase under $25,000 to be approved by the department head and the county purchasing director. Maldonado said having to go through a third layer of red tape is "absolutely ridiculous."
County Commissioner Dave Parisot, who serves on the TDC, said the commission tightened oversight of sponsorships in response to Commissioner James Campbell's arrest Sept. 17.
Campbell is accused of using his position as a county commissioner to solicit sponsorships for the Boggy Bayou Mullet Festival and earning commissions on the donations. Two of the sponsorships he secured came from Northwest Florida Regional Airport and the tourist development de-partment, county-run enterprises.
TDC Attorney Steve Hall told the council that the commission's stance on sponsorships "was last-minute language responding to current events."
Maldonado, TDC Chairwoman Kathy Houchins and other council members described county commissioners' restrictions as "knee-jerk reactions."
Dan O'Byrne, the new director of the tourism development department, told the council a certain amount of "gravitas" must be applied to the new policies.
He said that he hopes "after awhile" some of the restrictions could be loosened.
TDC members also complained that commissioners didn't seek enough council input in choosing finalists to be the tourism development department's new advertising agency.
Houchins and O'Byrne were named to a committee chosen by the county to interview the competing ad agencies. The rest of the TDC was invited to hear the agencies' presentations, but only two members attended.
Maldonado and fellow council members Tim Edwards and Nick Nicholson said the entire process was faulty and that commissioners didn't take advantage of the tourism experience on the TDC.
"Who on the board of county commissioners is the tourism expert?" Maldonado said.
"It doesn't make sense" for the county to do business that way, he added.
In protest, the TDC voted 4-2 not to recommend the three ad agency finalists to county commissioners.
Hall pointed out that the TDC's vote was not a "necessary legal step" in selecting a new agency. Under the county's new policy, that decision lies solely with the commissioners, he said.
He also told members that their decision not to recommend the finalists could be seen as a rejection of the ad agencies and their credentials.
After the meeting, Houchins said she thinks TDC members are frustrated by the county's increased supervision.
She acknowledged that the tighter oversight was a direct result of the Mark Bellinger financial scandal that rocked the county in May.
"I kind of understand it," she said. "I mean, we were all blindsided."

RRMC reaches deal to open methadone clinicBy Brent Curtis
STAFF WRITER | June 15,2013Rutland Regional Medical Center has signed a contract with the state to run a multifaceted addiction treatment center in Rutland that will, among other things, provide methadone treatment to those addicted to heroin and other opiate-based drugs.
Dubbed the West Ridge Center for Addiction Recovery, the new facility is scheduled to open in October at the former Jump Fore Fun location in Building 10 of the Howe Center in Rutland.
The new facility, which will offer counseling and case-management services in addition to medications like methadone and buprenorphine, is expected to serve 400 opiate-addicted Vermonters, primarily from Rutland and Bennington counties, hospital officials said in a statement released late Friday afternoon.
The facility, which will be open seven days a week, 365 days a year, is expected to treat close to 300 people a day including the roughly 100 addicts presently travelling outside Rutland County on a daily basis to receive treatment.
The facility was originally scheduled to open in October 2012 but that timetable fell apart when Rutland Mental Health Services failed to reach an agreement with the Vermont Department of Health due to financial concerns.
Health Commissioner Dr. Harry Chen said Friday that despite the initial setbacks, talks with the hospital proceeded smoothly to open the clinic, which will receive significant state and Medicaid funding to renovate the building and cover uninsured patients.
This is very much a needed service in Rutland County, Chen said Friday evening. The whole thing took a long time but (RRMC) has been a great partner. Everyone wants to make it happen.
Among those pushing for the center have been Rutland Mayor Christopher Louras and city Police Chief James Baker. They have said it would both fill a hole in treatment coverage for addicts in need and help to reduce demand for opiates in an illegal drug market that has attracted a large number of out-of-state dealers.
Im delighted that we have Rutland Regional Medical Center involved in this critical venture, Louras said. I have said all along that I support this facility, provided (clients) receive the wraparound services they have been promised to address the underlying conditions of addiction.
Baker said the center would also fill a void for the states local drug court, which for years has tried to rehabilitate drug offenders without the support of a local treatment center.
Its a huge, vital piece of the strategy to get quality of life issues under control, the chief said.
Hospital officials said they worked with the Howard Center in Burlington to develop the new treatment center model and program. To operate the facility, the hospital will hire more than 20 staff, including therapists, substance abuse counselors, nurses, case managers, security officers and administrative personnel.
RRMC President Thomas Huebner said in the statement that providing services through the center was an extension of the hospitals commitment to public health.
I believe this is a service that is critical to our area, he said. The program and treatment center will prove to be very beneficial not only for patients and their families but also for the community.

EnergyGauge USA
User-friendly residential building energy simulation which allows calculation and rating of energy use of residential buildings around the United States. ENERGYGAUGE USA, takes advantage of current generation personal computers that perform an hourly annual computer simulation in less than half a minute. Includes Manual-J system sizing analysis, and an improvement analysis mode to analyze cost-effectiveness of energy upgrades.
ENERGYGAUGE USA uses DOE-2.1E with a number of enhancements which allow superior simulation of duct air leakage and heat transfer (thermal conditions of zones in which ducts are located strongly affects performance) as well as improved calculation of air conditioners, heat pump and furnaces performance. Slab, crawlspace and basement foundation types are explicitly modeled as is thermal bridging in stud assemblies. Includes enhanced simulation of the impacts of air infiltration and mechanical ventilation systems based on measured, estimated or proposed values. Ability to simulate hourly performance of solar water heating systems as well as grid-interactive solar photovoltaic (PV) systems.
Simplified input with an easy-to-use interface. Detailed schedules and end-use output are available for a variety of residential appliances from lighting down to well pumps! Simple enough to use to rapidly perform Home Energy Ratings (HERS) with a proven hourly calculation engine to provide reliable results. Alternately, ENERGYGAUGE USA is powerful enough to provide utility planners with time-of-day information to evaluate peak demand impact of residential programs.
residential, energy calculations, code compliance
Expertise Required
Moderate level of computer literacy with basic understanding of residential construction, appliances and equipment.
Version 2.42 (released in April 2005); Version 3.0 to be released in 2006.
Residential building designers, residential energy raters, energy auditors, architects, utilities DSM evaluators, code compliance specialists and code officials, weatherization agencies and engineers.
Typical homes can be input in ten minutes from take-offs. Input screens allow simplified and detailed description of building geometry, construction characteristics and equipment. Most input values can be defaulted to user-entered preferences or can be quickly entered based on either proposed values or performance measurements from site audits. Extensive component libraries are provided. Range checks and extensive context-sensitive help are available for all inputs. Built-in logic checks help users catch inconsistent data entries. Values are easily entered for schedules and equipment types. TMY2 weather data for 239 U.S. cities are available. Fuel costs, energy conservation measure costs, and mortgage data can be entered by users for economic and financial analysis.

Fast, easy to use residential analysis tool that relies on detailed simulation. Program has broad applications from code compliance to home energy ratings to buildings research. As example, those interested only in home energy ratings or annual energy use can select appropriate annual energy summary reports, while utilities can select hourly reports to examine impact on peak electrical demand. Enhanced calculation of duct and infiltration losses as well as mechanical ventilation systems can be based on test results. Multi-zone calculations of attic, crawlspace, basement, garage and sunspace provide improved modeling for common residential analysis. Appliances are simulated in much greater detail than usual: for instance load schedules are available for ranges, dryers, refrigerators, lighting and even pools and well pumps. Improvement analysis allows rapid comparison and economic cost-benefit analysis of various alternatives. Many standard reports and financial compliance forms provided.
Execution time is approximate six sconds for an annual simulation on a 2.8 GHz processor. Room-by-room HVAC sizing not available. Multiple-conditioned zones and batch mode processing are under development for Version 3.0.

According to the Kauffman Index of Entrepreneurial Activity, a leading indicator of new business creation in the United States, men are "substantially more likely to start a business each month than women". In the seventeen year period from 1996 – 2012, the average rate of entrepreneurial activity for men was .37 percent; for women during the same period it was .23 percent.
An Ohio medical device startup has developed a unique, high-resolution imaging product for preclinical biotech research. Now comes the company's biggest challenge yet – market education and commercializing the product.
The "Unmentionables" session at Health 2.0 seems to be almost an anomaly among the predictably young group of entrepreneurial attendees, but apparently there are some topics that are not discussed in healthcare, from divorce, work stress and alcoholism to sex and suicide.
Last week we launched a brand new program for startup companies who had previously presented at 1 Million Cups, the Kauffman Foundation's weekly educational program that features two local startups presenting to the community over coffee. This new effort, launched with the folks at Dream Big America, will continue to put a spotlight on startup companies from throughout the country.
Thriving entrepreneurial hot spots do not just pop up overnight. It takes more than a few growing startups to turn a city intro a hub of entrepreneurial activity. This thought is confirmed by a new Kauffman Foundation white paper entitled "Path-Dependent Startup Hubs – Comparing Metropolitan Performance: High-Tech and ICT Startup Density".
During my years at the Kauffman Foundation I have seen firsthand the effect that education can have on the development of entrepreneurs and their companies. The entrepreneurs with whom I have worked have taken the lessons they have learned and applied them to great effect in their endeavors as founders. These entrepreneurs benefited from opportunities to learn critical skills, and from gaining an understanding of crucial decisions or junctures that often can derail entrepreneurial businesses.
Today is a very exciting day for the 1 Million Cups program. We are three quarters of the way to our goal of twenty U.S. cities by then end of 2013. But more importantly, the debut launch of 1MC Orlando and San Diego demonstrates the power of collaboration at the grassroots level.
Last week marked an important milestone in the development of the 1 Million Cups program. For the last year, each city's weekly 1 Million Cups event has been run by our community organizers, a team of volunteer entrepreneurs. That's right people,VOLUNTEERS! Our community organizers are some of the most talented, creative, genuine, and collaborative entrepreneurs on the planet. In addition to being the thought leaders in grassroots entrepreneurship in their communities, they hold down day jobs working with or running startups. With all that brainpower at our disposal, we knew we had to get all of our community organizers together in Kansas City to plan for the future of 1 Million Cups as it continues to grow.

The Montpelier (Ohio) Exempted Village Schools Board of Education has approved a proposal that allows school janitors to carry handguns to protect students from school shooters.
On a 5-0 vote in response to the school massacre in Connecticut, four custodians have been authorized to receive defensive firearms training and carry guns at the Montpelier K-12 school in Williams County.
But, school officials say, the proposal was made even before the Sandy Hook shootings. "Sitting back and doing nothing and hoping it doesn't happen to you is just not good policy anymore," says Superintendent Jamie Grime. "Having guns in the hands of the right people are not a hindrance. They are a means to protect."
School Board President Larry Martin agrees. "We have to do something," Martin says, "and this seems like the most logical, reasonable course to go with."
...And it's practical, too: once the shooting is over, the janitors are in position to mop up.

Jones has been doing a crazy amount of media this week(rather poorly in my estimation) and has said more than a few doofus comments(the CJ Ross paid/on drugs comment was dumb), so this this doesn't break the top 3. His appearance on SportsNation the other day made him look like a smug prick and couple that with his comments towards potential upcoming challengers(Cormier, Glover) and Goose, he's been so aloof and dismissive, as though he wasn't going to even remotely try to sell the fight and possible future fights.
Jones is the main face of mainstream MMA going forward, but he hasn't done nearly enough to entice mainstream, casual fans to buy his PPV main event. Go back and watch a couple of his interviews, he's like, "Yeah, Gustufsson's big and I've heard all the stuff about his striking, but he's only beaten one top ten". Wow, that'll really make people want to buy the PPV to see a guy fight Jones, who already has minimal exposure, with Jones' nonchalant attitude. I'm not saying he has to go into super kayfabe Chael mode to hype a fight, but a little media training to at least make the fight sound interesting and worthy of purchasing isn't too much to ask.
I'm neither a Jones fan or hater, but I haven't been impressed with him this week.

I know this has been passed around quite a bit already, but if you haven't seen this you're in for a special treat.
Well how 'bout that?
via iOwnTheWorld
Ann Coulter put forth a "theory" on Obama's religious beliefs that I've held for sometime myself, that he is in fact probably either agnostic, or (as Ann has put it) is just flat out atheist.
America's problems aren't political, they are religious. The downward spiral of our gradually becoming more liberal on social issues is the symptom of that. I know there are a lot of conservatives who would disagree (much less liberals), but even David Patterson could see the direct correlation between our gradual turning from God, or at the very least His principles, and the growing violence in American society being coupled with our tolerance for the destructive social forces that cause it.
That's why its ridiculous to debate the politics of items such as gay marriage, and why even though I have a very concrete position on that issue I tend to stay out of it. If someone doesn't see the moral delinquency of same sex relationships you can't merely argue it out of them.
Only Christ can change their hearts on such matters.
His choice to selectively leave The Creator out of his quoting the Declaration of Independence was extremely intentional, I just wish I knew exactly what his intention was. Either it's to lead America out of what he perceives to be the crutch of Christianity, or maybe for him acknowledging God makes him more uncomfortable than Barney Frank taking his turn at "spin the bottle" in a sorority house.
In the end I don't care what it is, I've opposed his presidency since August 3, 1961, so its not like I need yet one more reason to throw him out on his ass two years from now...

Incidentally, detectives that come as a pair, such as Starsky & Hutch for example, only counts as one nomination.
Just to kick off, my five nominations are:

2: Kojack
3: 'Dirty' Harry Callahan
4: Hercule Poirot
5: Endeavour Morse
