Better BreathingBig-Block Headers
Manufactured from high-grade stainless steel, these manifolds give performance enthusiasts a superior alternative to cast-iron manifolds or noisy, leak-prone tube headers. They tuck tighter against the block than other header designs, allowing much more room for frame and steering clearance. Large, smooth 17/8-inch primary ports, combined with 3-inch outlets, result in fantastic flow characteristics and horsepower gains. Additional features include extra-thick manifold flanges, which not only eliminate leaks, but also allow the manifolds to be port-matched to the gaskets and cylinder heads, if desired. Manifolds are available highly polished or unpolished, and have standard three-bolt header flanges. Gaskets and stainless steel hardware are included with each pair.

Good Looks2X4 Dual-Plane For LS Powerplants
The technology of the LS pushrod engine is now mated with the impressive multi-carb looks and performance of the muscle car era. The Holley GM LS1/LS2/LS6 2x4V dual-plane manifold was designed in the tradition of the great dual Holley 4160 induction systems that competed on dragstrips, in Trans-Am, and at Le Mans in the '60s. The dual-plane equal-distribution layout produces great midrange torque without compromising top end power. The LS engine architecture does not use an intake-mounted water neck or distributor so it's perfect for two Holley carburetors or throttle bodies and this intake manifold design takes full advantage of that opportunity. Carbureted (PN 300-120) and EFI (PN 300-121) versions support a 1,500- 7,000 rpm powerband, making it appropriate for any street/performance or muscle car enthusiast.

Bright ActionHigh/Low Light Switch
This electronic module replaces the ordinary dimmer switch. When the headlight switch is on, the module resets to the low beam circuit. Alternate momentary grounds switch between high and low beam headlight circuits. When the headlight switch is off, holding the momentary switch to the ground activates the "Flash to Pass" safety option on the high beam circuit for as long as the momentary ground is held. The module accommodates standard sealed beam and halogen headlights in two- and four-light configurations and includes a 30-amp circuit breaker. The module takes the current load off the headlight switch. Instead of passing power to the low and high beam circuits, the headlight switch simply provides a "headlights on" signal to the module. The module can be attached to other modules with the supplied locking wedge or stand alone with the included mounting bracket.

Top Gear magazine in 2004
All the covers and quotes from another year in the life of Top Gear mag
Posted: 27 Sep 2013
Top Gear Magazine in 2004
Clarkson in 2004: "We used to be good at building bridges and tunnels and trains. Now you can't even get from London to Manchester without being bankrupted and killed.''
TopGear Car(s) of the Year: VW Golf GTI
"My favourite thing about this new GTI is the same as my favourite thing about the original. To the untrained eye, it's just a Golf, but to those who know, it just isn't.
Subtle mating signals are sent out by that honeycomb grille and the little roof spoiler, and best of all, those sensational dials. The simple fact of the matter is that no matter how you cut it, the Golf is either brilliant or excellent in every single area." JC
Nissan 350Z
"Fancy an Almera? Or a Primera? Of course you don't. let's face it, the Nissan badge doesn't awaken the beast in us. But do you fancy a 350Z? Of course you do. Sure, the interior plastics aren't the last word in sophistication and the cabin could use more sound deadening. What the hell, we'll live with it. In a year that's had so much good stuff, it's still a no-brainer - the Nissan 350Z deserves its place as our TopGear Car of The Year." CR
Three cars from 2004
Porsche 911 997
"The 997 has all the uniqueness of a classic 911, and none of its vices. And, boy, am I trying to find them. Yet on a badly surfaced, undulating road, the handling is never less than electric. Perhaps its steering isn't as impressive as a 911's usually is - it's too light at low speeds - but it gets better the harder you go. And while the 997 looses the bobbing nose, the pattering front wheels and the steering wheel jiggle, the traction out of corners remains, accompanied by a new composure. The best 911 yet? I'd say so. Probably the best sports car, full stop." August 2004
"The M5 is a masterpiece. Of engineering, of integration, of power. But there's still a nagging doubt in my mind that it has sacrificed its soul for such domination. There's no charm, no warming glow. There's no furtive grin when you realize that you have an engine that is slightly too powerful for your chassis, no element of delight when your suspension setup exceeds the output of your engine. The bar has simply been raised for all performance cars. It's a geeky response to criticism, this complete elimination of imperfection. It's the tick-the-box approach to making a car feel empirically better, rather than making it feel right. And that, ultimately, takes the joy out of what is currently the best performance saloon in the world." November 2004
Ferrari F430
"It's completely Ferrari. The Ferrari experience but deeper, wider, stronger. Not just more powerful, as in 490bhp versus the 360's 400bhp, but a more powerful experience. And the World Champion plaque on the dash isn't all that's F1 about it. The engine was developed by people who've worked in F1; the aerodynamics too. You can feel all that, but you can't see it. We do get one clear F1 signpost. Yellow circle, black horse - smack in the middle of the steering wheel. It can be all caring and sensitive if you want it to, but Ferrari isn't Ferrari because it's sensitive. History is written by winners. And the F430 is built to win." November 2004
The best-selling car of 2004: Ford Focus
The best-selling song of 2004: Do They Know It's Christmas? - Band Aid 20
And elsewhere in the world in 2004: Facebook is founded by Mark Zuckerberg; terrorists execute a simultaneous attack on Madrid's public transit system, killing 191 and injuring 1,800; and a tsunami, the strongest in 40 years and one of the worst natural disasters in recorded history, hits South East Asia, killing over 180,000.

DESTIN — Southern Airways Express' flights to the Destin Airport the past five months have been so popular the new airline will make the World's Luckiest Fishing Village a cornerstone of its service next year.
The new Memphis-based airline started offering direct flights between Destin and Memphis, Oxford, Miss., Birmingham and New Orleans in May. The airline also serves Panama City.
See a photo gallery of the airline at work in Destin. >>
Keith Sisson, chief operating officer for Southern Airways Express, said the flights to and from Destin have been its most popular and have outpaced the forecast.
"The first summer season for us was research," Sisson said. "We had to try a lot of different routes to see which ones were the most successful. We learned some routes just will not work and we learned some that are very successful. It's all about creating that research and applying it and moving forward."
Southern Airways uses nine-seat turboprop Cessna Caravans with luxury executive-style seating for all its flights. The airline is designed to bring a sense of fun and luxury back to flying.
"This was a perfect deal," said Paul Tashie, who flies regularly between Destin and Memphis. "It's really been great. As long as they've got a seat you can be out there 15 minutes before the flight takes off; no going through security and all that crap.
"They call you on the phone if you're not there to ask you if you're coming," he said. "It's like small-town convenience.
"It's just a great little airline," he added. "I would be heartbroken if they didn't make it."
Tashie owns his own plane, but has to pay a pilot $300 to fly it, plus pay for fuel, landing fees and wear and tear. With the most expensive flight aboard Southern Airways costing $249 — and special offers as low as $59 — he prefers to fly Southern Airways.
"If they continue to do well and make it, I'll sell my airplane," he said.
Sharon Dominique of Destin, whose daughter attends college in New Orleans, has flown with Southern Airways 15 times.
"I sure hope they stay forever because I'll definitely be using them over and over," Dominique said. "It feels like my own private airline."
Sisson said the Destin Airport's proximity to old Destin as well as Walton County Road 30A has contributed to the route's success.
"It's led us to change the business model a little bit so that when the spring rolls around we'll be opening up even more cities to Destin," Sisson said. "We're looking at opening up Chattanooga to Destin, possibly Huntsville, maybe Baton Rouge, possibly Lafayette, possibly Athens, all of that into Destin for the spring and summer.
"We could not do this if we were flying into VPS (Northwest Florida Regional Airport)," he added.

One of the biggest problems we have to deal with when it comes to old vehicles is Iron Oxide, aka rust. This stuff, if not dealt with, will literally eat your car away to nothing. Because we primarily talk about classic muscle cars in these pages, its pretty much guaranteed we will see a lot of rust. Case in point is a 1970 Z28 Camaro we have been wrenching on. The car is pretty dang solid, but the driver's side quarter-panel has some serious rust going on. We like the car and want to keep it around, so it was time we bit the bullet and got busy fixing the quarter.
We have been around body and paint shops long enough to know that a full quarter replacement is pretty involved, but nothing a person with some common sense, a welder and a few special tools couldn't handle. We think we fit that bill, so instead of passing off the work to a shop we decided to roll up our sleeves and try it ourselves.
The job will take some special tools to complete, most notably is a welder. We have an older Lincoln SP-100, 110-volt wire feed that handled the job great, but those have now been replaced in the Lincoln line with the Power MIG 140. You will also need some special clamps, a grinder, a cut off wheel, and some blocks, but those can all be ordered from Summit Racing. There were some items we didn't have on hand for the job, like body filler and sand paper, which we were able to get in one stop at Summit Racing.
The key component to the fix is going to be the sheetmetal, and we decided to go straight to Auto Metal Direct (AMD). We ended up ordering a quarter-panel and some supporting pieces, which we'll go into more detail about later in the story. We have all heard the horror stories of what some body guys have had to do to make lesser quality panels fit, but in our case it all fit, which made the job for rookies like us doable. This was the most involved bodywork job this author had ever done, and thankfully I did have some help in the way of our local electrical guy, Lucky Costa. I will say that I consulted a few professionals for advice on how to do a few things, and we got a few different opinions. The following story is the route we decided to take, and it came out great, which probably has more to do with good parts and less about skilled labor.
Our subject vehicle is a '70 Z28 that (obviously) has some serious rust issues. Not only is the quarter covered in some pretty bad surface rust, but the front and back of the wheelwell are beyond saving. The car was put out to pasture, so this rust was never stopped and now it's too bad to fix with just a couple of patch panels. We already know that we will be using an AMD quarter-panel for this repair, but we need to get the original quarter off to know the full extent of the rust damage and if we need any other supporting pieces.
Step one is to unearth the factory roof-to-quarter seam and remove the lead. After sanding off all the old primer, paint, and body filler, we found our lead to be removed. We decided to melt it out with an oxygen acetylene torch instead of trying to sand or grind it out. We kept the torch moving so we didn't put so much heat into the panel that it would warp.
We used a few different tools and procedures to get the bulk of the quarter off. In the areas where the quarter has a sharp edge (like the rear window area) we used a grinder to cut off the corner, and a putty knife to open up the separation. This leaves the welded joints intact, but makes getting them off much easier later on.
For the bulk of the removal, we used an air chisel with a cutting tip to quickly cut the metal. We could have also used a plasma cutter, air saw, cutoff wheel, but this was the quickest. We made sure to stay away from the edge at first to prevent hacking up anything hiding under the quarter.
After consulting with a few body guys, we decided that we were going to butt-weld the roof seam instead of trying to slip the quarter underneath the way the factory did. We carefully made a straight cut along the old quarter with a cutoff wheel. Now we could address all the leftover remnants.
Back at the taillight panel area, the quarter is held on with a few small spot-welds and seam sealer. Some wiggling with the pliers was all it took to break it free leaving the taillight panel intact. This would not work if you tried to get the quarter off in one solid piece, so maybe now our reason to quickly cut off the bulk is becoming clear.
The majority of the welds holding the quarter on are made with a spot welder, so we used a spot weld cutter to remove the material. These cutters work by cutting around the perimeter of the spot-weld, allowing you to remove the piece with minimal damage to the underlying metal. Cutters like theses are available at Summit, but we already had one.
After using the cutter on all the spot-welds, all we had to do was pry up on the piece. There will be small round discs of old quarter that are left behind but these are easily ground off, but more on that later.
There is an area where the spot-weld cutter just wont fit, and it's in the gutter of the trunk seal. We used a cut off wheel to carefully grind away the spot weld being as careful as possible to not grind away the lower metal we are trying to save.

Two new, high-tech operating rooms were unveiled at Fresno Heart & Surgical Hospital this month, providing ideal amenities and features for minimally-invasive surgeries.
Dr. Richard Berquist, a family practice physician and emergency medicine doctor with Community Medical Providers, looks a decade younger than his 50-something age. He's buff and tan from daily kayaking, roller-blading and yoga. He eats a low-fat, semi-vegetarian diet and keeps his cholesterol low. He's the last person anyone would suspect had a serious heart problem – even an expert like him.
But Dr. Berquist said when he hit his early 50s he decided to take the advice he gives his own patients and do a cardiac stress test on a treadmill.
Community Regional Medical Center launches Errand Solutions, a concierge and errand running service for its employees, on Aug. 26 and 27.
The new service is designed to assist employees in completing everyday errands while they work. Services offered include dry cleaning, automotive repair, oil changes, gift shopping, vacation and party planning, free gift wrapping, discounted tickets to movies and theme parks and more.
Headaches, nausea, dizziness. Symptoms like these don't seem so out of the ordinary for a mother dealing with the daily pressures of caring for a child with special needs. Luz Marina Knight was experiencing all three and thought it was probably just the stress of caring for her son, Kyle, who had been diagnosed with autism in 2005 at age 4.
Hundreds of people reached out to newly elected Fresno County Sheriff Margaret Mims earlier this year when she announced she had breast cancer.
Diagnostic tests detected the disease, and for Mims, who'd just fought through and won a campaign to become the first female sheriff in Fresno County history, a new battle began.
Mims, who underwent surgery Feb. 21 at Clovis Community Medical Center, explained how diligence and expert detection helped save her life.

Say "'54 Corvette," and what mental image comes to mind? Perhaps it's a Top Flight NCRS show car, or a new-to-the-public National Corvette Museum exhibit, or maybe even a six-figure auction dream find.
Regardless of the specific imagery the '54 Corvette elicits in your frontal lobe, it's highly unlikely your neural path called out for pizza!
Thus begins the story of one of the most unusual race cars in Corvette's 60-year history, the '54 "Pizza Man" racer. Also known as the "World's Fastest Six-Cylinder Corvette," the car won three NHRA World Points Championships, eight NHRA Modified Production world records, and is believed to have won more NHRA World Championship points in three consecutive years (1967-1969) than any other car in Street Eliminator history.
The Pizza Man Corvette was the brainchild of Earl Britt, the proprietor of Earl's Pizza Palace in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. It seems Britt decided that rolling in the dough just wasn't good enough, so, as the story goes, he transformed his wife's '54 Corvette (1 of 3,640 produced) into a quarter-mile killer.
Britt passed away decades ago, but the car's current owner, Dan Hampton, was able to piece together much its history.
"In July 1999, Mecum Auctions offered the Pizza Man Corvette for sale," Hampton says. "The car was one of 100-plus cars being auctioned that night in Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin, and it caught my attention because of its '60s racing history. Street racing was a big-time hobby for many of us growing up in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and because of our lack of proximity to any other type of racing venue, drag racing became the natural outlet for many of my teenage brethren and me. The Pizza Man Corvette simply struck a chord…and I decided to bid on it."
The über-rare race car didn't meet its reserve, so it wasn't until post-auction negotiations with Mecum Auction's president and founder Dana Mecum that Hampton closed the deal and took ownership of the car.
"I immediately set out to learn the [car's] history," Hampton says. "The only link I had to the Britt name was the Corvette's original title, which was still registered to the Pizza Palace. Earl Britt's signature was on the back of the title, but he was nowhere to be found. My only hope was to try and see if there was anybody with the surname Britt still residing in the Sioux Falls area.
"After a few dead ends, I was able to get in touch with Sam Britt, who I learned is Earl's youngest son. Over the course of many phone calls, Sam provided me with a fairly detailed account of the car's racing history, including the various mechanical permutations that had taken place through the years that it raced. He retained the eight original NHRA class records, and vintage photography of the car."
According to Hampton, the Pizza Man Corvette's amazing NHRA successes are due in part to Britt's decision not to follow the common practice of running a small-block Chevy and competing in a popular class such as C/MP or B/MP. "These were brutal classes, with national records in the low 11s and high 11s, respectively. The GMC inline-six was a rarity, but more importantly, it gave Britt a 1.5-second advantage when indexed against the aforementioned two classes. Unless he hired a world-class engine builder like Roger Sinistri of 'Buckshot' fame, my guess is that with a small-block he would…have never been a contender."
Hampton also speculates that Britt simply couldn't get enough displacement or horsepower out of the Corvette's 235ci Blue Flame 6, and that obstacle led him to the GMC mill, which was legal for NHRA classes. "The [GMC] was heavily modified by Wayne Engine Rebuilders [in Riverside, California], fed by triple sidedraft Weber two-barrel carburetors, and drove a Posi third member stuffed with 4.56 gears through a custom-built B&M Turbo Hydramatic three-speed transmission."
According to Hampton, that combination eventually propelled the car to an official best quarter-mile e.t. of 12.17 seconds at 118 mph, and an unofficial e.t. of 11.97 seconds in 1970.
"Sam wasn't a casual bystander when his father campaigned the Corvette, but was actively involved in the car's summertime race campaigns," Hampton says. "He indicated to me that the engine revved to over 9,000 rpm, and that his dad went through a number of engines in the course of a year. Early on, he sourced an ongoing supply of short-block cores from old milk-delivery trucks."
With its history confirmed, Hampton set out to "restify" the Pizza Man Corvette. "It was clear that much of the lettering on the car had been changed since the vintage photos were taken," he says. "The front fenders were plastered with decals, and the large, gold 'Pizza Man' script, which adorned the middle section of the car, was completely contained within the door's outline, which was incorrect. A large hoodscoop was added to accommodate a Weber intake manifold, the three 48 IDA downdraft carburetors were long gone, and the hardtop was missing. The great news was that the GMC 292 race engine, B&M automatic trans, and Posi rear were still installed in the car.

Boschertown Grand Prix RacingRead MoreThe pedal pioneers at Boschertown Grand Prix Racing have been facilitating high-speed adventures on one of the largest tracks in the Midwest for more than half a century. In the early days of racing, the course served as a venue for the homemade karts of avid individuals, but now houses a herd of go-karts, sprint-karts, and super-karts that eliminate the possibility of unfair home upgrades such as engines outfitted with nitrous or the flux-capacitor of a 1981 DeLorean. Drivers as young as 10 reach speeds of up to 17 mph in a standard kart; racers 16 or older helm 24 mph sprint-karts; and drivers 18 or older take control of 28 mph super-karts. Wheels roll over hairpin turns, banked corners, straightaways, and opponents' rights to call themselves "Greased Lightning" as drivers dominate laps around the 5/8-mile track.3500 N Hwy. 94Saint Charles, MO US

The kaleidoscopic beams illuminate skaters of all ages, some strolling side by side, some cruising solo, and some shouting "Look no hands!" before realizing the emptiness of that boast. There's off-rink fun too, with arcades and a concession stand for guests in need of a breather. The rink also plays host to roller hockey games as well as skating competitions and lessons.130 Boone Hills DrSaint Peters, MO US
Tee Time Family Fun CenterRead MoreAbundant rides and games find their way into every corner of Tee Time Family Fun Center's indoor and outdoor playgrounds, which keeps guests of all ages enthralled throughout their visit. After entering the facility, it's not long before kids are hugging the racetrack's turns from behind go-kart wheels, accelerating their bumper cars or bumper boats into fellow participants' vessels, or parading their putting skills at an 18-hole mini golf course, voted Best Miniature Golf in 2009 by Riverfront Times. A 3-D maze coaxes puzzle solvers through its black-lit labyrinth, and a multi-level soft-play area accommodates crawling tykes with its tunnels, tubes, and crawling seminars taught by worms.

Every once in a while, a book comes along that belongs not in your barn, not in your truck and not even in your office. Not on a shelf, either. No, this book belongs on your coffee table, or maybe in the waiting room of a vet clinic or tack shop.
If you don't have a coffee table, you might want to go buy one so you can open this large-format book out flat and turn the pages, one by one.
Over the years, this blog has been the champion of the story of War Horse, from the very time it opened as a play in London in 2007. We support the "horse" in War Horse, and want to know everything we can about the horses in the film, the play and the real war horses of World War I.
We had a "Making of War Horse" book about the play, which explained the puppets.
And now we have a rich velvety guide to the making of the motion picture. You can get lost in the photos, they're so large and so deeply inked. And you will, believe me.
When director Steven Spielberg and DreamWorks Pictures authorized a beautiful coffee table book about how the film was made, there was no question that it had to be worth a look.
What I wasn't expecting: that I'd keep looking and looking and looking at this beautiful book.
The oversized (12 x 9″) book is printed in color, with massive full page photos taken during the production of the film. It is hardcover, with thick, high-quality paper and dust jacket.
War Horse: The Making of the Motion Picture has several forewords–including one by Steven Spielberg, one by producer Kathleen Kennedy, one by original author Michael Morpurgo and one by screenwriter Richard Curtis. Spielberg's is especially compelling, as it offers insight into why he chose to translate the story to the screen.
After these formalities, you meet 21 cast members with a portrait of each in costume. They're arranged in the order in which they appeared in the film, for easy reference.
Then the book reveals its heart: the story of War Horse and how the cast and crew collaborated to get it onto film. As always the natural scenery of Devon, England is dazzling in color, just as the dreary, unnatural scenery of The Front, No Man's Land, and the trenches are monochromatic and foreboding.
The story of War Horse is told in three sections:
Part 1: Joey's Journey—A visual retelling, along with script excerpts and filmmakers' comments, of the journey taken by Joey, the war horse and his beloved Albert, from the striking verdant countryside of Dartmoor, Devon, to training in the British cavalry, to trench warfare in France.
Part 2: The Making of War Horse—An insider's glimpse of the movie-making process highlighted with fascinating insights from the international cast and the crew about the casting, locations, costumes, horse training, and much more.
Part 3: The History of War Horses—An illuminating section on the role of horses in battle, illustrated with iconic images from history, vivid drawings, paintings and photographs.
There are also beautiful sketches of set designs from the art directors and even storyboards of how scenes like the barbed wire entrapment were sequenced.
Is it a Hollywood book? A history book? A horse book? Or all of these? I think this book is what you want it to be. It's an enhancement of your experience viewing the film (or, one day, the DVD) and a tribute to the artists, the actors, the technical geniuses, the land and especially the horses who moved you then, and will again, with the turn of every page.
War Horse: The Making of the Motion Picture was published December 27, 2011 by Newmarket Press. Format: Hardcover; trimsize: 12 x 9; pages: 144; full color throughout. Cost per book $35 plus postage and handling; Ages: written for adults, with some technical references, but I think a horse-crazy teen would do fine with this book. And love it!

PANAMA CITY — The victim of a broad daylight shooting at the 23rd Street Plaza on Tuesday has been declared clinically dead but remained on life support late Thursday.
Megan Pettis, 24, of Panama City Beach, was on life support to facilitate organ donation, according to the Panama City Police Department. She was shot in the head and crashed a car around 1 p.m. Tuesday. Her ex-boyfriend, 42-year-old Joseph Moody, was arrested at the scene after he was captured by bystanders and Bay County Sheriff's deputies.
Moody was initially charged with attempted felony murder and discharging a firearm in public. After the victim was declared clinically dead Thursday, detectives filed an amended criminal complaint charging Moody with an open count of murder. He will be in court today at 2 p.m. for a first appearance hearing on the new charge.
The Bay County Sheriff's Office on Thursday provided a list of their prior contacts at Moody's address. They had been called to his address as recently as Feb. 5 for a welfare check, but the incident did not result in a report or arrest.
The only other relevant contact between deputies and Moody was in December 2007, when Moody called the Sheriff's Office because Pettis and Moody's then-wife, from whom he had separated about two months before, got into a scrape.
According to the incident report in that case, Moody's wife came by the house to collect a television. Pettis refused to let her inside the house, and when she stepped outside, Moody's wife pushed Pettis to the ground and scratched her face.
Moody's wife explained to deputies that she was angry with Moody for allowing Pettis to move into the house and that was why she pushed her. Pettis declined to press charges.
Pettis' family, through the police department, has asked for privacy. Employees and an official at Dillard's, where Pettis worked, declined to comment Thursday.

Moody had been charged with attempted felony murder and discharging a firearm in public; detectives and prosecutors are meeting to discuss upgrading the charge to murder.

If your kids are active, locker-room showers and heaps of sweaty clothes probably are part of their everyday lives — and so is the risk of getting fungal skin infections.
Jock itch, athlete's foot, and ringworm are all types of fungal skin infections known collectively as tinea. They're caused by fungi called dermatophytes that live on skin, hair, and nails and thrive in warm, moist areas.
Symptoms of these infections can vary depending on where they appear on the body. The source of the fungus might be soil, an animal (most often a cat, dog, or rodent), or in most cases, another person. Minor trauma to the skin (such as scratches) and poor skin hygiene increase the potential for infection.
It's important to teach kids to take precautions to prevent fungal skin infections, which can be itchy and uncomfortable. If they do get one, most can be treated with over-the-counter medication, though some might require treatment by a doctor.
Ringworm isn't a worm, but a fungal infection of the scalp or skin that got its name from the ring or series of rings that it can produce.
Ringworm of the scalp may start as a small sore that resembles a pimple before becoming patchy, flaky, or scaly. These flakes may be confused with dandruff. It can cause some hair to fall out or break into stubbles. It can also cause the scalp to become swollen, tender, and red.
Sometimes, there may be a swollen, inflamed mass known as a kerion, which oozes fluid. These symptoms can be confused with impetigo or cellulitis. The distinctive features of ringworm are itching, redness on the skin, and a circular patchy lesion that spreads along its borders and clears at the center.
Ringworm of the nails may affect one or more nails on the hands or feet. The nails may become thick, white or yellowish, and brittle.
If you suspect that your child has ringworm, call your doctor.
Ringworm is fairly easy to diagnose and treat. Most of the time, the doctor can diagnose it by looking at it or by scraping off a small sample of the flaky infected skin to test for the fungus. The doctor may recommend an antifungal ointment for ringworm of the skin or an oral medication for ringworm of the scalp and nails.
A child usually gets ringworm from another infected person, so it's important to encourage kids to avoid sharing combs, brushes, pillows, and hats with others.
Jock itch, an infection of the groin and upper thighs, got its name because cases are commonly seen in active kids who sweat a lot while playing sports. But the fungus that causes the jock itch infection can thrive on the skin of any kids who spend time in hot and humid weather, wear tight clothing like bathing suits that cause friction, share towels and clothing, and don't completely dry off their skin. It can last for weeks or months if it goes untreated.
Symptoms of jock itch may include:
Jock itch can usually be treated with over-the-counter antifungal creams and sprays. When using one of these, kids should:
If the ointment or spray is not effective, call your doctor, who can prescribe other treatment.
Jock itch can be prevented by keeping the groin area clean and dry, particularly after showering, swimming, and sweaty activities.
Athlete's foot typically affects the soles of the feet, the areas between the toes, and sometimes the toenails. It can also spread to the palms of the hands, the groin, or the underarms if your child touches the affected foot and then touches another body part. It got its name because it affects people whose feet tend to be damp and sweaty, which is often the case with athletes.
The symptoms of athlete's foot may include itching, burning, redness, and stinging on the soles of the feet. The skin may flake, peel, blister, or crack.
A doctor can often diagnose athlete's foot simply by examining the foot or by taking a small scraping of the affected skin to detect the presence of the fungus that causes athlete's foot.
Over-the-counter antifungal creams and sprays may effectively treat mild cases of athlete's foot within a few weeks. Athlete's foot can recur or be more serious. If that's the case, ask your doctor about trying a stronger treatment.
Because the fungus that causes athlete's foot thrives in warm, moist areas, infections can be prevented by keeping feet and the space between the toes clean and dry.
Athlete's foot is contagious and can be spread in damp areas, such as public showers or pool areas, so it's wise to take extra precautions. Encourage kids to:
By taking the proper precautions and teaching them to your kids, you can prevent these uncomfortable skin infections from putting a crimp in your family's lifestyle.

Google drops Nexus 4 price, now starts at $199
The Nexus 4 just got a lot cheaper. The flagship phone of Google's Nexus line is now available for a full $100 less than it was just hours ago. The 8GB model is on sale through the Google Play Store for $199, while the 16GB model is $249. There's no mention of a newer Nexus smartphone, but the Nexus line itself is certainly due for some sort of update. When the Nexus 4 was introduced last year it was already lacking in one major way — LTE connectivity — and since its introduction the Android ecosystem has continued to churn out multiple competitors. Not only that, but the Nexus 4 isn't the only way to get the stock Android experience at this point, either; the "Google Play" editions of the Samsung Galaxy S4 and HTC One provide something very close to the same software, albeit at much higher prices.
This cut puts the Nexus 4 in the same price range as phones subsidized by carrier contracts, making it a much more appealing option on paper. Whether that will be enough to steer customers towards the LG-built device rather than newer devices like the Moto X, however remains to be seen. Google declined to comment on the reason for the price cut.
Google says that the price drop applies in Australia, Canada, France Germany, Spain, Korea, US, and the UK, and the price drop is at least 25 percent off in all of those countries.

While some say Santa Cruz's crowded, you might actually be glad to have company on those cold winter evenings when the men in the gray suits (sharks) start searching for dinner. This funky NorCal town receives the majority of swell that the North Pacific dishes out, and there's a solid helping of spots packed inside the three-mile stretch. So if you like wearing booties, you'll love this place. The waves vary from perfect glassy wedges to double-overhead freight-train walls, so you'll want a quiver ready for everything. Take notes from local pros Flea, Pete Mel, Anthony Tashnick, Adam Replogle, Homer Henard, and the rest of the crew blowing up at Steamer Lane. With more surf shops within a three-mile strip of coastline than anywhere in the world, finding equipment will never be an issue. It's a small town with a big feel (see: parties, art, granola eating). And there's a good chance you'll return home with a beard.
Water Temp: 50-55 degrees.
Consistency: No shortage.
Crowds: Dense at the prime spots, but quieter at the surrounding breaks.
Local Scene: Home to University of California Santa Cruz and an eclectic mixture of art, culture, and surfers.
Watch Out For: Macking winter swells, sharks, locals doing airs over your head.

Figure Emerging from a Waterlily
Images of human beings emerging from flowers represent a special class of Maya figurines found primarily on Jaina Island, just off Mexico's Campeche coast, a place that may have functioned as a major funerary center. Jaina figurines are among the most intricate and detailed ceramic works produced in pre-Columbian America. In this exquisite example, a slender, youthful male rises in an attitude of calm authority from a water-lily pod. Because the water lily is associated with the underworld in Maya cosmology, this figurine may have been intended to symbolize the renewal of life after death.
- Culture: Maya
- Medium: Ceramic, pigment
- Place Found: Campeche, Mexico
- Dates: 600-900
- Period: Late Classic Period
- Dimensions: 8 1/4 x 2 1/8 x 1 11/16 in. (21 x 5.4 x 4.3 cm) (show scale)
- Collections:Arts of the Americas
- Museum Location: This item is on view in Luce Visible Storage and Study Center, 5th Floor

- Caption: Maya. Figure Emerging from a Waterlily, 600-900. Ceramic, pigment, 8 1/4 x 2 1/8 x 1 11/16 in. (21 x 5.4 x 4.3 cm). Brooklyn Museum, Dick S. Ramsay Fund, 70.31. Creative Commons-BY
- Image:
- Catalogue Description: The delicately modeled ceramic figurine is Jaina in style and reveals the upper part of a figure emerging from a water lily. The figure is red with ornaments (necklace, earrings, and headdress) in cream color. The tip of the headdress is blue. There are other trace amounts of blue on the stem and petals of the flower. The figure's arms are folded across the waist. The flower has three pointed petals: one is in the front-center section, turned downward, exposing the inside texture of the lily that is handled with an application of clay dots; a second stands upward in the back, enveloping the figure; and a third stands upward on the proper left side of the lily. Because the water lily is associated with the Underworld in Maya cosmology, this figurine may symbolize the renewal of life after death. Condition; good; there are two repaired breaks in the stem and two repaired breaks in the headdress. There are also two broken edges at the proper right side of the blue central portion of the headdress, probably where two appliquéd segments had been attached.

Yellowstone Trip 2011
Camping at Slough Creek CG for 7 days with a friend.
A friend and I spent 7 wonderful days in Yellowstone this past September, 2011. We camped at Slough Creek CG the entire visit and did some hiking and wildlife watching. We saw 3 grizzly bears, several wolves, black bears, pronghorn antelope, coyotes, 3 bald eagles and common merganser ducks during our stay. As soon as we entered the park a feeling of peace and tranquility enveloped me and stayed with me the entire trip. Yellowstone is my favorite place to visit. One morning we were fixing breakfast when a bison strolled thru our camp and into Slough Creek. Another morning I awoke at 5:30 am and took a drive out into the Lamar Valley in hopes of catching sight of bears and wolves. I was rewarded by viewing a grizzly feeding on a fresh bison kill. Later that morning I saw 8 wolves further out in the valley. I am looking forward to my next trip to Yellowstone in September of 2012.

Press reviews
''The fact is that almost every own-label Manzanilla out there is good, but M&S have a beauty on their books: nutty, shellac notes, the whiff of the seaside, absolutely lovely Mazanilla with such a dry, chiseled palate showing bright apple juiciness and lovely balance overall. Lemony and very fine, the salty lick and nuttiness continue into a long finish. Made by Williams & Humbert, it's in 263 stores."
The Wine Gang, Daily Mail , 1st June 2014
"Thinking it was white wine, a friend got a surprise when they helped themselves to a glass of this from my fridge. Actually, it's sherry with a tang so brisk it takes your taste buds by storm. Expect lemon and a bit of nuttiness. Pour yourself a small, chilled glass, put your feet up and pretend you're in Spain. Works for me."
Helen McGinn, The Observer , 1st June 2014
"Imagine a green olive eloped to the seaside with a lemon: this wine is exactly that."
Olly Smith, Mail on Sunday , 1st June 2014

Olive 4HD, 5HD, 6HD Music Servers Coming in 2013
Olive 6HD Music Server
Olive is planning to unleash the 4HD and 5HD Music Systems in 2013, as well as the next-gen 6HD Music Server. The 4HD and 5HD each have 32-bit/384kHz TI Burr-Brown Digital-to-Analog Converters and dual HD amplifiers. The 6HD boasts a fully balanced differential DAC design with two Burr-Brown PCM1792A, and a linear high-precision power supply with custom-build toroidal transformers.
All of Olive's products will have the new Music operating system and a touchscreen interface. Promising a better user experience and better animations, this OS was designed specifically for music. That touchscreen allows you to customize the way you view and browse through your music. It also allows you to pick selections with one touch.
Other features include a wireless HD docking station feature for streaming services and stored content from your favorite iOS and Android devices via Bluetooth and WiFi. It can also snag some of the favorites on your PC, Mac or NAS, through the WiFi Direct platform.
"With the introduction of the new line of products, Olive continues its tradition to deliver an amazing music experience," stated Dr. Oliver Bergmann, co-founder and CEO of Olive. "To broaden the appeal beyond audiophiles with expensive stereo systems, we've equipped the 4HD and 5HD Music Systems with premium HD amplifiers. Just connect your speakers and enjoy beautiful sound."
Available with a 2TB capacity, the HD Music Systems can store up to 6,000 albums in original quality, or 20,000 HD Tracks. The 5HD and 6HD also have a built-in CDRW mechanism to rip CDs directly to the internal HDD, including all album information and artwork.
The new 4HD is painted in a high-gloss white, with the 5HD and 6HD featuring a premium anodized finish. Olive is now taking pre-orders for all three for $1,499, $2,999 and $4,999, respectively. The company plans to start shipping orders in the first quarter of 2013.

First-Year Experience > First Generation College Students > First Generation Faculty and Staff
The First Billikens Project
Celebrating and supporting the accomplishments of those who are "first in their family".
Karla Scott, Ph.D.
Todd J. Foley
Catherine Motil
I did not realize I was a first generation college student until the spring 2012 semester. What is odd is that I am over 50% completed with my Ph.D. in Higher Education.
Education was always emphasized in my home. As children, we grew up knowing a college degree was an expectation. I never gave my parents' education status a second thought because they were both taking college courses at the time I entered college as a full-time freshman student. However, I was able to complete two degrees before my father completed his B.S. degree. Despite being just a couple of courses shy of completion, my mother still has not earned a B.S. degree. I am proud to say that every single one of their five children has earned at least a B.S. degree, and three of us have masters degrees. I am grateful to my parents for instilling the expectation, fueling the desire and providing all the support they could!×
Dr. Karla Scott chose to submit the following picture in lieu of a story. She said it nicely sums up her experience as a first generation college student.
My first day of college, I got up at 5:00 AM for my 8:00 AM class, and sat outside the building, which was locked, for an hour before someone let me in. I was so nervous that the teachers and other students would realize I didn't belong there, I wanted to make sure I was first in the room. In a way, I wanted to prove to myself that I belonged there.
When I was in high school, I was a "D" average student and my guidance counselor actually told me I'd never go to college and to "forget all that nonsense". After I scored a fairly high grade on the SAT, I was accepted into all six colleges and Universities I applied for. Now, I am working toward my Ph.D. and I teach college students.
Life is made up of the tiny decisions you make, so make good ones.
I never thought of myself as 'first-generation'. My only thoughts were that I was doing something no one else in my family had done, and for me, that was a lot of pressure. But the faculty and staff at my college supported me every step of the way and now I am at SLU to do the same.
Being a first generation college student doesn't put you at a disadvantage. If anything, it gives you an open-mind and a new perspective. I found that being the first in my family meant showing all my younger brothers (and my older ones) that it was possible, and that a college degree is attainable for anyone. ×
I joined SLU shortly before my oldest son started his sophomore year of high school for the tuition remission benefit. Very soon after I began working here I had a conversation with him about Renaissance art. I had no idea what he was talking about. I knew then that I needed to go to school if I was going to make sure he made it to college. I had to educate myself if I was going to help him succeed.
Education has changed the way I look at the world. It has changed my level of understanding. It has broadened my perspective. It has helped me educate my children. In the past if they brought home math or chemistry homework from grade school I never knew how to assist them. The result was mediocre homework grades. They struggled because I struggled.
I did not realize until I started attending college myself the number of obstacles faced by those who have never been to college or had someone in their family attend college. Just maneuvering through the paperwork: FAFSAs, online registration, computer programs, understanding terminology, etc., can be a very daunting and nerve racking experience. Not only do you not understand the processes, you often do not understand what various terms mean or who to talk to about what you do not understand. I never knew what a Registrar was before I started college.
Education has given me the tools needed to aid my extended family and friends with advancing the education of their children. I guess the best way to explain it is, "we don't know what we don't know, if we don't know it, sometimes we need help."
I am a first generation college graduate in my family, an alumnus of SLU (1984), and currently employed by SLU in the School of Medicine CME Program.
My older sister began her freshman year at SLU, transferred to another local college for her sophomore year, and then transferred back to SLU to complete her college education, subsequently graduating the same year I did. We are first generation college graduates.
Our father immigrated to the United States from Czechoslovakia as a young child in the early 1930's. Despite the economic hardships of that era and a return to his homeland for a few years, his parents insisted he stay in school and he did obtain a high school diploma. Typical of "the greatest generation", he was a blue-collar worker and practiced a strong work ethic. Our mother also completed high school, but, as many wives of that era, was a homemaker and stay-at-home mother who did not work outside the home. Our parents struggled to raise nine children on a single income, and although not heavily involved in post-high school educational decisions, they valued a good education and supported our decision to seek higher education. They could not offer any financial assistance, but were willing to make what sacrifices they could to allow us the opportunity to seek a college degree.
One of these sacrifices was purchasing a used car as a second family car, mainly for my sister and me to commute to the university and part- time jobs. Up until that point, we had one family car, which my dad drove to work.
Because my sister and I pursued two different areas of study, our class schedules did not coincide. On most days, she commandeered the vehicle because she had morning classes and a part-time job in the afternoon. My classes ended later and my part-time job did not start until the evening shift at our hometown hospital, which left me stranded at the university. I had four options
During my years at SLU, I utilized all of those options, most of them uncomfortable and inconvenient requiring extra travel time and prolonged periods of "waiting", not just for me, but also sometimes for my driver.
The biggest obstacle regarding limited transportation was during my senior year in fulfilling my practicum requirement. Dr. Shirley Anderson, who was the Department Chair for School of Allied Health Professions at the time, and a professor of the program I was in, Medical Records Administration, arranged a practicum for me at Barnes Hospital. The only way this was possible was that on the days that I did not have transportation to get to my "real" job on time, she personally picked me up at Barnes and drove me to Saint Elizabeth Hospital (now Gateway Hospital) across the river in Granite City, IL.
I know this must have been miles out of her way, in the opposite direction no less, but she happily volunteered so that I could fulfill my practicum experience. I will never forget that generosity and the sacrifice from a college professor who literally "went the extra mile" to ensure a valuable and successful college experience for one her students.
This is just one of several stories of obstacles/successes relating to my experience as a first generation college student, not the least of which was financing my education, but others, including classic "college car" stories, and, of course, meeting my husband of 28 years. I feel this is the one that best exemplifies the struggles and sacrifice made by family, faculty, and student to obtain a college degree. As my husband describes, "it is [an accomplishment] that no one can ever take away from you". ×
Way back when the earth was cooling, I left our family farm in rural South Carolina to embark on an educational adventure. My first stop was a small, highly selective liberal arts college about 3 hours from home.
I was excited and terrified. I just knew I would be homesick and that eventually, they would discover I was an academic fraud incapable of college work. Fortunately, I was wrong. The faculty and staff there could not have been more supportive. Demanding-yes, but supportive in ways I could not imagine. The only way I have to pay back the debt I owe to those wonderful souls is to be that kind of support for first-gens at SLU.×
Hello, I am Letrice "Lee" Young, and I am more than elated to share my story with you of being the first one in my family to graduate from college. I begin this sharing with an understanding that I am "keeping it real" as you all say in today's vernacular.
I come from a mother and a father who did not attend high school, and who could not give me quality of life that I, as a child, felt I was entitled to have. For me that meant a nice home, vacations, spending money on the weekend, etc. Well, I did not have any of that, and it was that "living without" as a child that fueled my desire to do well in school. I would often listen to my teachers from grade school all the way to high school, as they would say, "Get your education!" Not only have their words remained in my heart to this very day, but they also have taken root in my professional philosophy as I work with students to this very day. It was my Kindergarten - 12th grade teachers that laid the foundation for me to succeed in college. Although I was a participant in a college preparatory program, I still caused myself to have a slight detour that caused me to extend my undergraduate career by an extra year and a half. Were it not for the continuous recalling of the mantra of my K - 12 teachers, e.g. "Get your education!", I would not have been able to reach within myself to find that power and to finish my degree. It would also be the strong desire to make a difference in society that would be the catalyst for me to complete a few other advanced degrees.
At the present time, I am blessed to be returning to Saint Louis University as a doctoral student majoring in Educational Studies with an emphasis in Curriculum and Instruction.
In closing this story, but never my advice to you, young people, I must say the following:
1) Take advantage of all that Saint Louis University has to offer, especially the resources (people and offices) who are here to help you during your matriculation.
2) Realize your role in life is far beyond these four years in that God brought you here to Saint Louis University for a reason.
3) Listen to your parents. Listen to your professors. Listen to your counselors. But most importantly, listen to the Voice of God, for it is His direction that is responsible for guiding your life. Take care, and I am but an e-mail message away: firstname.lastname@example.com.
Many blessings bestowed upon you as you say good-bye to the past and embark upon the future!
In Genuine Service,
Proverbs 3:5-6
Philippians 1:6
Jeremiah 29:: ×
I'm not sure how I was even introduced to the idea of going to college. I think it was just a product of all of my friends planning to do so. It certainly wasn't talked about or encouraged at home – it was just something unfamiliar as an aspiration in my single-parent family. My dad worked in a factory, and my siblings both entered the military.
How I ended up at a private, Catholic, Jesuit University is even more of an anomaly. I now understand it was destiny. But even with my appreciation and connection with the Jesuit mission and now long-standing commitment to serving students as they encounter and succeed in the college environment, it doesn't mean the first steps of entering college were easy.
I remember feeling overwhelmed, like I didn't fit in. I was surrounded by people who represented so many things that I was not – students who were of a higher socioeconomic class, students who were much more academically prepared, students who were from private high schools, students who were Catholic, and students who understood what to expect from college and had support at home to navigate the challenges they faced.
There were times when I was so homesick, but felt I couldn't tell my dad who had sacrificed everything to pay my tuition.
Despite the challenges, I succeeded – not only receiving a Bachelor's degree, but a Master's and Doctorate to follow. I'm not sure anyone in my family anticipated that path of academic achievement and commitment.
My advice to other first-generation students, is to 1) realize you're not alone, 2) connect with people on campus who are here to support you and aid in your success, 3) take advantage of every available campus resource, 4) keep an open mind with your peers – you never know who you'll most connect with, and 5) give yourself a vote of confidence – you can do this!

Twitter mashup lets you map #uk
A programmer has developed a Twitter Google mashup to allow Twitter users in the UK to track, what is being called, #uksnow.
The website which takes snow reports from Twitter users based on postcode and a snow rating out of 10 is then automatically mapped on to a Google Map so Twitter users can see where the snow has fallen and how good it is.
"Umm... you know I didn't think to track that! Although, in the last 12 hours I make it somewhere in the region of 500 tweets" said Ben Marsh, the site's creator.
All Twitter users have to do is Tweet the first half of your postcode, plus the amount of snow you're seeing:
"#uksnow [POSTCODE] [SCORE]/10", ie: "#uksnow SL5 6/10".
The site automatically updates every minute. Not surprisingly the London Twitter community seems to be providing the most information at present.

"Ray had many friends and spent most of his spare time in Allonby where he enjoyed playing football and socialising. He was lovable, sensitive and very kind.
"Ray leaves behind his mother Romar, father Raymond, stepfather Trevor and grandparents Yvonne, John and Gerald.
"He also leaves his brothers and sisters Wayne, Marcus, Dale, Hannah, Emma, Katharyn and Jaedon, brothers-in-law Carl and Scott and sister-in-law Amy.
"He was also a caring uncle to Braedon, Bailey Jay, Oliver, Warren, Lilly Mae, Maegan, Michaela, Keelie, Chloe and Carly.
"Ray will be sadly missed by all including his aunts, uncles, cousins and many friends."
Mr Pattinson was taken to the West Cumberland Hospital in Whitehaven with serious head injuries after the crash but died later.
The car driver, a 20-year-old Allonby man, was interviewed by police who are investigating the crash.
Witnesses or anybody with information is asked to call PC John Powell in the roads policing unit in Workington on 101 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.
