Dad Days of Summer: While Momania's Theresa Walsh Giarrusso takes a vacation, local dad and sportswriter Andy Johnston will be filling in. You can e-mail him at firstname.lastname@example.com.
I don't think a Fourth of July or New Year's Eve passed without me, my brother, a cousin and a bunch of friends blowing up several dollars worth of fireworks.
We shot all kinds, from Roman candles to those little metal things that flew up in the air to the bigger tubes that produced pretty colors and gave the neighbors something to watch.
But bottle rockets were our favorite, mainly, I think, because we could aim them.
We knew the rules. You were supposed to stick them in the bottle, which was supposed to be aimed at the sky. You were to light the fuse and supposed to move a safe distance.
Not us.
We shot bottle rockets at everything.
Trees. Cars. Houses. Each other.
We didn't even use the bottles.
We'd hold them in our hand and throw them as far as we could at whatever we were trying to hit.
Crazy and stupid, rolled into one, but boys will be boys, as they say.
I'm surprised none of my friends were hurt, since we were the target age for fireworks-related injuries.
The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) said that two of five (39 percent) victims of fireworks injuries in 2009 were under the age of 15. The highest risk of injury was for children ages 10 to 14. Here is some info about fireworks – did you know they can reach 1,200 degrees – and this website is for the kids.
At 5, Ty still covers his ears when fireworks are booming, so I figure that's something we'll have to deal with in a few years.
Do you let your kids shoot fireworks?
If so, are they unsupervised or do you watch what they're doing?
At what age do you think it's OK for kids to shoot fireworks?

I haven't gotten any for my kids mostly because I know what I used to do with them. In addition to throwing them like Andy, we used to break the sticks off of them and then light them. Bottle rockets without sticks fly completely unpredictably.
Good times!

we all used to do the same thing. im sure my kids did too when i wasnt around. i do know 2 who got hurt..one badly-lost 3 fingers. as many of us who did this im surprised more didnt get hurt. my kids do know the guy who got his 3 fingers blown off-so hopefully that made them think more-but really kids think it will never happen to them. i dont think you lose that mentality until you have your own kids…we also used to shoot each other with b b guns…a friend of mine lost one eye doing that. geeze-the things we did im surprised any of us are alive!

and like jarvis i never gave my kids any kind of fire works…even fire crackers..we used to have fire cracker wars–throwing them at the other side etc….im sure they got them anyway. all yhou can do is tell them true reasons as to why they cant do them. and not let them. but as i said-most kids are gonna do things anyway when mom isnt looking. im glad my kids lived thru their kid craziness.

OK, I must confess to pyromania, except with a twist, and once again I must ask myself, "How did I make it to adulthood?"
Bottle rockets and small firecrackers are boring after a short while to a teenage boy. My friends and I regularly had pine cone battles, or just about anything you could throw, battles. It was an organic move for us to escalate into bottle rocket battles, yes, moms, we shot these AT one another. That is not really so unusual, at least in a young boy's mind. In any case, we were disappointed with our accuracy. Being good, inventive American boys, we siezed on a simple way to improve accuracy expoentially – we acquired (read stole) appropriate lengths of PVC pipe, and glued makeshift pistol-grip handles on the tubes. The increase in accuracy was remarkable. You could lead-aim while the fuse burnt, and -ZOOM- hit a running 13 year old boy right smack in the back of the head. If you were really good at this technique, you could time the burst to go right at impact, which did cause a few "problems". We went on like that for exactly one "battle" that resulted in some parent-suspicious wounding and subsequent kid interogation. Phone lines came alive and parent death threats were made to all of us. "IF YOU KILL YOURSELF, I'M GONNA KILL YOU!" was one of the more confusing but memorable parent quotes.
Between us kids, it was agreed that for all of the pain we received for doing this, it was worth it. We still talk about that battle to this day.
Happy Fourth of July!

OK Andy. I had a post disappear. Nothng bad, and I am certainly not going to rewrite it.

It's nice for me to see that other boys did this. My husband and his brother talk about their fireworks wars and I thought they were the only ones crazy enough to do this. (maybe he is normal after all). Kind of like when I learned that other men (not just my husband) actually pull over and pee behind buildings or on the side of the road.
I was raised with one sister, a cautious mom and a dad who traveled (and died when I was 15). I just don't know boys. I used to think my husband was so WEIRD.
Then, my first child was a boy. And he was a cautious, scared of everything, boy. He held his ears during fireworks, while watching the Blue Angels and if anyone walked by him with a balloon. We were patient and didn't force him out of his little fears but it drove us both a little crazy. (Especially my "all boy" husband").
Well I'm happy, I guess, to say that one of his favorite past times (at age 10)is to see what he can do with bottle rockets. He ties things to the end of the sticks, aims them at matchbox cars, etc. Luckily he is still a bit cautious and afraid of getting hurt, so he uses a long, grill type lighter and runs like hell behind something when they are going off. Everything in my girl/mom mind says not to let him do this but it is such a huge step for him into boydom that I can't bring myself to stop him.
This falls under the umbrella of "afraid everyone will think I'm a horrible mom if he gets hurt". Kind of like when I finally gave in and got him a walker as a baby and a trampoline a few yrs ago. Yes, I am ignoring ALL the experts.
Now let me say further, I also work for DFCS, so I investigate neglectful parents and I not only know about all the horrible things that can happen to kids but I've seen them first hand.
My life is a daily struggle to fight the urges to protect my children from all of the bad things that MIGHT happen. But, "might" is the key word. My son "might" have gotten molested in that first restaurant bathroom I let him go in by himself when he was 8. But he said he felt to big for the girl bathroom. How do you say "no" to that. He might get hurt using fireworks (and the ER might call DFCS on me). I just try to be as safe as possible while still letting him be who he is trying to grow up to be.
God, it's hard sometimes.
But, I will always supervise him with the fireworks and will never let him aim them at his friends. Not that his friend's parents would ever allow them to touch fireworks….EVER!

Well, considering that most fireworks are illegal in Georgia, no I don't plan to use any this year. I've given my son a sparkler before to hold but only with direct supervision to be sure he didn't touch the hot part. He didn't really like it though. He also doesn't really like the loud noises, so he isn't interested at all when the neighbors are out shooting stuff off. He likes to watch from inside the house, which is fine with me!
June 30th, 2011
8:45 am
We are not a fireworks shooting family. I never did it growing up. I think my husband's family did but he has never expressed any interest to do it in all the years we have been married. We have had sparklers a few times but that is it.
FYI…even roasting marshmallows CAN be dangerous. As a young girl, we were on a picnic and doing so. Another kid took his stick and touched the top of my foot. Ouch.

Oh what fun times we used to have with firecrackers. Growing up with boys (or play dolls in the house with girls – NO THANKS), I have many fond memories of firecracker wars…….
I love fireworks. My dogs hate them. I can't go anywhere becuase I need to stay home with them, so they don't destroy my home, yard, car, furniture, deck, etc…LOL. I've tried doggie Xanax, benedryl, etc NOTHING stops my Yellow Lab from freaking, not even at 12 years of age……I can't put her in the back yard, she will jump the fence, or tunnel out. So I have to take them out on leashes in the front yard, and just let them freak.
We can see Sugar Hill's fireworks from our 'hood, and a few neighbors will light the pansy ones Georgia will allow. We may road trip to SC and buy some REAL fireworks, but that's still open for discussion with the neighbors…..The boy next door ususally has an arsenol. His dad travels so he picks them up and brings them home, but we don't know if he will be here this weekend. Oh well, at least we have a party planned, and some serious grilling on the menu.
On a sad note, my father passed away on July 4th. We sent him out with a bang!!!!!!
June 30th, 2011

Oh, yeah. I think I've heard that they are illegal in Georgia. (note the sarcasm). In my 37 yrs in GA, I've never seen someone get so much as a warning for using fireworks. In fact, the biggest "home" fireworks display I ever attended was at the home of an Atlanta police officer. Probably they need to take that law off the books if they are not going to enforce it.

Call me overly paranoid or blame my career in risk mitigation, but I leave all fireworks to the professionals. Too many dry lawns in my neighborhood and I've seen too many of those things still slightly glowing when they hit roofs. Also, I know how much my dog hates the loud noises, I don't want to do that to my neighbors and their pets.
June 30th, 2011

Oh, gosh, don't remind me about the dog!! My neighbors are big on the fireworks & my poor dog will literally be climbing up the walls!! I'll have to repaint!!

My son just had one of those "bottle rocket incidents" a couple of months ago. I am typically not the over-protective parent so when my son and his friend wanted to stop at the fireworks place on the way home from spring break, I didn't really think about it. I didn't buy any b/c I think they're a waste of money so they each bought about $10 worth with their own money and we were on our way. The rule was no shooting them off toward the houses or each other. A couple of weeks later they were down at the other boys' lake house and low and behold, a bottle rocket war started. The bottle rocket didn't actually fly at my son but rather as he was holding it, an ember shot out of the bottom and hit him in the face, on the eyelid to be exact. Quick reactions saved his eye. He shut it and the ember singed his eyelashes and the skin on his eyelid and just beneath. It was swollen but he said he could see fine. I was worried about infection so I did take him to the doctor who confirmed no internal or eye damage (THANK GOD).
I've made him tell every single one of his friends what happened and why they shouldn't be shooting fireworks at each other. Idiots.
Sparklers aren't that safe either. My suggestion to all parents who let their kids hold them is to light them and then hand them over. Do NOT light them in your child's hand. A few years ago I went to light one and it flared up and literally melted the skin off my finger. And burns are the worst.
June 30th, 2011
9:31 am
Heck yeah, I let my kid shoot them. Like with anything else use common sense. I'm out there watching, if the kids do something foolish, its game over. People you cant regulate everything in life. Isnt it amazing that most of us on this board didnt grow up in with child proof locks, car seats, child proof caps, yet here we are.
Live life, have fun, and have a great 4th!
June 30th, 2011
9:59 am
@ Call….YES, we are here because the folks that did not make it cannot post!
While it IS true that you cannot regulate everything in life …some things ( to me) start out being more dangerous than others. Getting hooked by a fishing line is not the same as the danger of fireworks.
We ate bologna sandwiches, with mayonnaise, that sat in room temp. lunch boxes for hours. Anyone up for it today?
Would I let a 4 year old "drive the car" on my lap and in my neighborhood…probably…would I let one ride their bike all over our neighborhood alone…NO.
At five, I walked 4 blocks ALONE to catch the bus in Chicago for Kindergarten…that was almost 47 years ago. I walked my kids a block to the bus for Kindergarten in Gwinnett…that was 14 and 19 years ago. Some parents drive their kids to school.
I drove a rickety old station wagon through the Ozark hills back and forth from HS and college, with no cell phone. My kids would not be doing the same.
Yes, kids need to learn cause and effect but I am not sure fireworks is the venue.

Forget the kids! My husband and a friend of ours are such pyros it's amazing noone has been injured or killed from their handling of fireworks -and we won't even get into the year they doused their own, self-made Burning Man with lighter fluid in our pine straw carpeted back yard…
I'm sure as they age hubby will teach our two all sorts of awful tricks with firecrackers, bottle rockets and roman candles, but for now we're sticking to sparklers -although we have some good fireworks to set off this weekend, and the boys can watch. Happy 4th!

My brother-in-law bought a bunch of fireworks one year for new year's eve. Funniest one was the cannon that rolled across the deck when lit, fell off, and went into oblivion. Don't knowif the darned thing ever went off. Laughed myself silly.
June 30th, 2011

I believe, by letting my child (at almost 11) use something that is a bit dangerous, I am telling him "I trust you, I know you can handle this because you are smart and not reckless. I will be right here in case you do something really stupid. If I see you being irresponsible you will not be trusted to do this." He also shoots a bb gun and handles it as if it were a real gun with real bullets. Someday, when he is older, my husband will teach him to shoot a pistol and a rifle. I want him to understand the dangers and sometimes you have to be exposed to them to fully understand. Kids who are just told, no, no no you can't play with that or touch that, and only get exposure through T.V and video games get a warped sense of reality. Those are the ones who get hurt. And I'm not one to think that "just because I did it, it's okay". I just have to weigh the pros and cons of certain activities. I thought a walker gave my 1 yr old more independence around the house, so I chose to purchase one, despite the dangers and I made sure it was never around stairs. I read all the dangers on trampolines but we decided to install a ground level one because the kids were doing so well at gymnastics we knew they would get a lot of excersise and fun from it. I would never put my child in a car without being properly restrained just because "my mother never put me in a seat" because we know better now and, there is no benefit to NOT having a child properly restrained.
I totally understand that fireworks are an extreme on the "what should we let our kids do, issue". And I must say that I do not live in a subdivision but on 15 acres of land, so I may not let my child use them if I was concerned about burning a neighbors house down.

@shaggy -fantastic! The PVC pipe invention sounds pretty great and like something I would gave loved! I think you and my husband would get along really well and be really dangerous!

I'm with JATL-I worry more about my husband and older son than my younger. My husband is the worst! He loves all kinds of fireworks and has set them off with our boys every year (New Year's too-or any time he wants to scare the bejeezers out of us). I grew up doing this with all of my cousins at my Grandmother's house. Of course, she lived out in the country and this was in the seventies, but we had so much fun. We had every kind you can imagine and what we wouldn't light, our dad's did for us. There was one time when the bottle fell over and chased all of the mom's off the porch. They laughed eventually. I think with fireworks, as with anything, if you make it taboo it's just that much more interesting. With supervision and common sense it can be the making of fun memories.

"And I must say that I do not live in a subdivision but on 15 acres of land, so I may not let my child use them if I was concerned about burning a neighbors house down."
Yeah, I think this is important. Growing up, we only had fireworks out at the farm. Children had to stand far back from bottle rockets. We were allowed to hold sparklers, but there were always a few buckets of sand around that we knew to put them into when they burned out. Here in DC, though, EVERYONE shoots off fireworks all over the city! People stop traffic to shoot them off in the middle of the street. They light them with small children by their side next to busy sidewalks. They shoot off big ones in tiny parks between apartment buildings. Completely stupid and dangerous.
June 30th, 2011
11:29 am
I am all about roasting marshmallows but wanted to point out that danger can lurk in every corner
( even silly things). As parents we need to keep an eye on things. I am NOT paranoid. Sorry if this came across as such.
Many times, we act like things are no big deal…until an accident happens. Each parent here has a different tolerance level and we generally try to do what we think is best. We all bring a different set of expectations and experiences to the table. My kids went to a week of sleepover camp, without our family, when they were seven. Some folks here would not do it. Choices we make.
June 30th, 2011

We are having our own fireworks show at my parent's house and then going to watch the BIG neighborhood show. I love fireworks. I did some crazy things with them growing up, note I said crazy, not stupid, there is a difference.

Heck, back in the day, we had access to M-80s, which were like mini-dynamite. Those really were dangerous, even in adult hands. Yet, we blew up several trees, small outbuildings, and I remember a junk car the became much "junkier" after we were done.
My older brothers, also waged adolescent war with real cherry bombs…the kind of cherry bombs that would blow under water. I remember one brother mysteriously staying home from school for a week after trying to unclog a few (all) of the high school commodes, the easy, quick way. He always was trying to be "helpful" to the school administration. For some reason, those had been banned by the time my inner demolitions expert had awoken as a boy.
June 30th, 2011
11:39 am
I think they still make M-80s I swear my brother threw some in the cart this past weekend on our yearly fireworks buying trip in Alabama.
My kids are too young to play with anything that goes boom. But they will run around with sparklers and throw those little white poppers at each other.
My favorites are the colored smoke balls…..I love throwing a bunch of them down the sewer and watching the colored smoke spew out……that and they set things on fire, which is way cool as long as you don't let it get out of control.
With fireworks, as with anything else, use common sense and you'll be fine.

JATL – It's not all a guy thing. My wife LOVES to blow stuff up. It is so cute to see her tying bottle rocket fuses together…lighter at the ready. My boy and I have had to quick dodge a few of her "special" bottles. But, she leaves the heavy artillery to the experts…us.
June 30th, 2011

ManOfTeal – Nope, those are M-80s in name only. They are more like a blackcat with a little more pop. Real M-80 go BOOOOOOM! like the charges mixed into professionsl shows to go BOOOOOM!.
June 30th, 2011
11:45 am
We let our boys set off fireworks – supervised only.
When I was in high school…a boy I knew thought it would be fun to shoot a bottle rocket into his mother's toilet. It made a really cool gurgling sound, grey smoke and bubbles rose to the surface. Long silence…one very loud final gurgle…and then a splash…as the bottom of the toilet hit the floor.
….I never did learn how he explained that to his mother.
June 30th, 2011
11:45 am
…, small school in North Carolina back in the old days (1971-75), when cherry bombs and M80's were still available, I set off one in my dorm hall during finals week – just wanted to add some spice to an otherwise dull study time.
Only problem was, I had no idea how strong the blast would be – I just lit the thing and threw it into the hall and closed my door to await impact. I hear the BOOM, then the next thing we all hear is the sound of glass shattering from a light fixture 12 feet above the floor as it hits the floor with glass flying everywhere. Luckily, no one walked into the hall prior to the boom, and no one was hurt – and to this day, no one knows who the knucklhead was that set the thing off…

Back in the day, we would go to the University of Colorado football field, Folsom Field, on the 4th of July for their fireworks display. I remember, as we walked into the stands, they would hand each and every one of us, children included, 1 stick match (the kind you could strike on concrete and it would light). At a certain point during the festivities, we were all told to light our matches and hold them up. It was SO BEAUTIFUL to see that stadium all lite up. Then they would shoot off the fireworks. memories…..
The City of Sugar Hill does a great Fireworks Display!!!! But my all time favorite is Stone Mountain's. They rock!!!! LOL pun intended.

I was severely burned by a sparkler when I was about three. My aunt gave me and I was intrigued by the sputtering sound to I put it in my ear to here it better. Needless to say it ended with a trip the ER and an almost prostate aunt.
No damage to my hearing but not the best Fourth that I can remember.

As a kid my blessed mother let us have bottle rocket wars in her front yard….the parents would line the cars along the curb….half of us would huddle behind the cars and half of us would shoot out the windows along our ranch style house.
One year I set fire to the vinyl Landau roof of my dad's brand new Buick LeSabre…That was the same year my brothers snuck up behind us in the house and set off a string of firecrackers in my bedroom.
I still hand launch the occasional bottle rocket….loads of fun!

@shaggy-oh, I love firecrackers and fireworks (and just fire) too! I will draw the line or become the debbie downer voice of reason when objects are catching fire that are sure to bring some authority and flashing lights around!

Please, please don't let Theresa see this thread!
No fireworks here. I was raised going to public displays, but I hated them, too. (I lost some hearing when a kid put an air rifle in my ear and fired, and later my house was struck by lightning 4 feet from where I stood and changed the beat of my heart, in addition to adding to my deafness. I am not even a fan of the "Big Bang Theory!) I was allowed to fire up a sparkler or two, under supervision. So were my kids. The girls seem to like the public displays. The boy–God knows what he does, but I am pretty sure it is dangerous!
My former husband was from a fireworks (M80) kind of family. Once we divorced I think he went back to "celebrating" like that. My neighbor, who is likely to spend a quiet, relaxing Sunday evening firing off a few hundred rounds from his guns, shoots off fireworks over the pasture. I am fully expecting one July 4 or New Years that he will set the pasture or the woods on fire.

Yeah, I was into fireworks when I was a kid. We used to put on a show in my neighborhood. Of course, being the inquisitive person that I was, I also used to take shotgun shells apart and do some cool things with gun powder and oil. Don't even get me started with the copper pipe. I remember one time we stuck one of these pipe bombs – which now, at my almost 50 years of age,realize could have killed me or someone else, in a tree. Just to see what happens. We would pack the powder into it, melt wax over it, put some bb's into that (Oy, can you say stupid?) and light it. Came back a few days later – no tree. It burned downed.
Oh man, good times at the time, but wow, we are so lucky we didn't lose life and limb.

Fireworks? Out here in the sticks we shoot our firesticks with tracers.. kids have been doing it since they were 10. If you are in Gordon County this 4th and hear a boom it will be my Black Powder Rifle with 80 grams going off. God Bless The USA on the 4th of July.

I allow my 6 year old to shoot off fireworks, but never in the house and only if they are aimed at the neighbor's dogs.
But sometimes he has too much beer and he can't hit them dogs for nothing.

Coaches hate when the media puts high importance on games early in the season.
OK, hate me.
I see Washington-Wilkes' game Friday at Jefferson as compelling, and though only mid-way through the season, one that could determine the Region 8-AA champion. If this matchup between the unbeaten, No. 6-ranked Tigers (5-0, 2-0) and Dragons (3-1, 1-0) doesn't get your heart racing, have a friend thump on your chest.
Never mind a fourth consecutive victory might boost Jefferson into the state rankings, where Washington-Wilkes has been the last four weeks. Never mind the Tigers are 5-0 for the first time since 2000, when they started 14-0 and lost to Americus in the state final. It's a showdown between the Dragons linebackers Wesley Simonton and Kody McDonald and the Tigers' Buck Robinson, who passed for 232 yards and three touchdowns to Mark White in last week's 36-0 shutout of previously unbeaten Union County.
Here are other games to watch:
– Northeast Macon (4-0, 1-0) at Lamar County (3-0-1, 1-0): This is a clash of unbeaten 4-AA teams. The Raiders shut out Central Macon and Monticello and didn't allow Twiggs County or Southwest Macon more than a touchdown. The Trojans, up from No. 9 to No. 7 in the rankings, have ripped off wins over Eagles Landing, Pike County and Taylor County since tying Spaulding in their season opener. In beating Taylor 15-0, brothers Lawrence and Lance Austin scored on runs of 10 and 11 yards, respectively, and Tyler Scandrett chipped in a 37-yard field goal. Lamar won the teams' previous two meetings.
– Brooks County (5-0, 1-0) at Thomasville (1-4, 0-1): The Trojans won last year's game 28-22. This time, they enter the 1-AA clash ranked No. 2 and one of only four teams that are 5-0. In beating Early County 42-8 last week, the Trojans turned four takeaways into a 35-6 halftime lead, and Malcolm Parrish passed for 213 yards and four scores.
– Vidalia (5-0, 4-0) at Atkinson County (0-5, 0-4): The winless Rebels have nothing to lose in the teams' first meeting and should go all out in this 2-AA matchup against the unbeaten Indians, ranked No. 4. The Indians are coming off last week's 28-7 victory against Metter, when Juan Foster rushed for 219 yards and a TD, and Tra Hardy raced for two scores.
– Heard County (4-0, 2-0) at Chattahoochee County (2-2, 0-2): The Panthers have struggled in consecutive 5-AA losses to Bremen (35-0) and Bowdon (35-6), but hope to revive against the unbeaten Braves, who are ranked No. 8. Much will depend on Chattahoochee slowing Duranta Dunson, who ran for four touchdowns in the first half of Heard's 42-14 victory last week over Kendrick. The Braves' 45-point average is topped in AA only by Calhoun's 46.

Randy from Belleville, IL | 8/7/2014 10:14 PM
This is most definitely the best driver I have ever owned. Very hesitant at first since I have always been a Titleist loyalist and was pretty happy with my Titleist 913 D2 driver. But from the first time I hit the i25, I knew I hit paydirt...
CFDglfr from Columbus, OH | 5/22/2014 8:31 AM
My driver has historically been my weakest club in my bag until now. I recently purchased a TM Sldr driver after a custom fitting and was never happy with it and even went back to my R1 before switching to Ping. I knew this was the right driver for me after my first swing! Love the feel, sound, ball flight, and last but not least the distance! Thank you Ping!
Jimbo from Kernersville, NC | 5/8/2014 7:31 PM
For the past year I've been playing with a G25 or a TM R1. The G25 felt great, but I consistently had a fade /slice habit. I could never draw it. The I25 is much more workable, but very controlled at the same time. The stock stiff shaft suits the club. I get more distance out of the I25 than the G, but much of that may be due to being able to consistently hit a draw. Now the bad news... I made the mistake of hitting the Cobra Biocell with the red tie shaft- wow! Straight and very long!!

10.54 @ 133 mph ( street tires )How fast can I go? Well, how much money do you have? This exchange is a common one between power-hungry enthusiasts and tuning gurus. Will the pursuit for speed break the bank? Depends on the platform in question.
The Diamond Star platform is an all-star caliber performer. The DSM can go really fast in street trim with moderate upgrades; the first generation platform is the standout. You get a better head than newer models and a dramatically lower entrance fee for a car that is a willing participant in the pursuit of power. But how far can you push it with simple off-the-shelf bolt-ons? David Buschur of Buschur Racing has an answer-the Hugger Orange 1991 Talon TSi that graces these pages. The car was conceptualized as a street/strip proposition that retained its street drivability mechanically but got a bit carried away in the interior, which looks full-race for safety reasons.
Block PartyThe foundation for thrust is a Stage 3 Buschur Racing short block fitted with a knife-edged and balanced crank, Crower con rods and 9.0:1 JE pistons. The block was bored 0.020-inches, honed and hot-tanked. Perched atop the 2.0-liter is a Stage 3 head that has been pumped for high-rpm duty.
Stainless-steel stock-spec valves, titanium retainers and shimmed springs react to special Buschur-spec camshafts as the 4G63 spins wildly to its 9000-rpm redline. Pressure is sealed in via ARP hardware and a stock Mitsu gasket.
Pressure PointThe stock TD05-14G has been discarded in favor of a Buschur Racing BR-57 Garrett-based T3/T4 hybrid. The turbine housing of the unit has been designed to Buschur Racing's specs and the wheel's trim and other details are proprietary. The turbo is positioned via a trick cast manifold and is regulated by a Turbonetics Deltagate and a Hallman manual boost controller.
The manifold looks like a nice piece of work, with thick flanges, large primaries, excellent turbo location and good placement of its external wastegate flange. Intercooling chores are handled by a Buschur Racing front-mount kit that utilizes a 33.5x13x3.5 inch core and 2.5-inch diameter inlet piping and 3-inch outlet piping to deliver the chilled charge air.

LANSING (WKZO) -- Cattle farmers in the Saginaw area are breathing a little easier with word from state officials that Saginaw County is considered free of Bovine Tuberculosis. The Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development tested nearly 26-thousand cattle on 373 farms, depopulating three farms.
A meeting will be held for farmers on January 30th at the Jonesfield Township Hall to discuss the efforts to keep the area free of bovine TB. The investigation started when a Saginaw County dairy farm was discovered to be bovine TB positive in March 2013.

Critics have expressed legitimate concerns about U.S. conspiracy law, saying it's too easy to convict some people accused of low-level terrorist assistance and sentence them to hard time in highly restrictive prisons. But the claim that the U.S. prison system gives terrorists rights that ought to be reserved for U.S. citizens is simply impossible to support.
After spending a week at Guantánamo Bay serving as an Observer for the latest 9/11 Military Commissions proceedings, my overarching impression is that we are wasting billions on a process that is failing everyone's goals and will likely result in further harm to the American people.
Cross-Posted from DeSmogBlogThe Sierra Club, National Wildlife Federation (NWF) and other green groups recently revealed that pipeline giant Enb...
Could he now be considered part of art history? Or would he start to mean less to the general public and the street art community? I hope not.
Four months after defense lawyers first told a Guantanamo military commission that they'd learned the FBI was spying on their colleagues, it remains unclear who or what the FBI was investigating. What is clear is that it will continue to delay progress in the case of the five men accused of masterminding the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
I have been fortunate to be on six of those tours and as MLE often opens for a band with a Pro-Am, we not only eat for the troops, but with the troops -- each MLE eater is paired with one or two military members and eats as a team.
After unexpectedly deciding to split the 9/11 case into two trials last month, a military commission judge reversed himself and decided on Wednesday to put the severed case back together again. At least for now.
It remains to be seen how involved the U.S. will get in this latest war in Iraq, and the price tag that will come with it. But the uncertainties of costly new wars makes it even more important that we clean up the mess of the old one.
Is some sense of sanity finally slipping into the torture debate in the U.S.? As the Senate Intelligence Committee is on the verge of releasing a summary of a report said to be hugely damning of the CIA's torture program and that contradicts the CIA's version of events, something seems to have shifted.
Given that the show had seemed near played out when it ended its eight-season run four years ago, the question is why the longest-running espionage TV series in history seems still to have a lot of life left in it 13 years after it first ran.
Bahrain finds itself in an increasingly untenable position. If it misplays its hand, or events in the region outpace the government's ability to manage domestic politics, the Bahraini government could find itself facing a dire crisis in the near future.
Last week, Obama administration lawyers filed a stack of documents in a case about my husband -- including sealed videos of him being taken to be force-fed at Guantanamo Bay. I don't think I could bear to see those videos. It shocks me, though, that the American people may never be given the opportunity to see for themselves what is happening in their name.
Oh, Americans have such short memories -- made only worse by how pathetically poor many choose to be informed.
Rep. Mike Rogers asked, "What does this tell terrorists, that if you capture a U.S. soldier, you can trade that soldier for five terrorists we've gone after?" Sorry to say, but if the goal is to reduce terrorism, then Gitmo's existence -- that unyielding cockroach of American politics -- looms far larger.
Congressional outcry over President Obama's exchange of Sergeant Bowe Bergdahl for five Taliban leaders, is not due to any real or perceived violation of trust or of the law. It is due to the atrocious addiction to warmongering that has plagued our government for longer than we would like to admit.
As James Harrington, lawyer for Ramzi bin al Shibh, told the court on Monday: "We now have to represent to our client that we had a spy within our team for a number of months. We don't know what activities that spy did." Will Harrington's client ever trust his defense team again? Should he? And if he can't, can he ever truly receive a fair defense?

By HAYLEY HARMON6 News Anchor/Reporter
ONEIDA (WATE) - A Scott County man is going the extra mile to help raise money for a local woman battling cancer; 56 miles to be exact.
That's how far Trinity Smith is running Saturday to raise money for his friend Erica Byrd, an Oneida resident undergoing treatment for leukemia.
Byrd beat cancer once and was in remission, but then it came back, and with it, the medical bills.
She is currently in Houston, Texas for a bone marrow transplant and will likely have to remain in the hospital there for another two months.
So when her friend Trinity Smith was asked to help raise money to help, the avid runner decided to take his efforts to the streets.
"It's not about me. Not at all. I just wanna help her," said Smith.
Smith is running from Clinton to Oneida, asking community members to make donations for Erica for every single mile he covered, all 56 of them.
"I know I'm not the best runner in the world but I feel like I've been blessed with this gift and I don't wanna waste it. I wanna help people," said Smith.
He started the run at 4:30 a.m. Saturday.
6 News spoke to him as he was completing mile 30.
While he says the trek is one of the hardest things he's ever done, thinking about Erica along the way motivated him to just keep going.
He knows his pain is nothing compared to the battle Erica, a wife and mother to a young son, is facing.
"I do think of her. That's what you have to do. Just take a step, and take another step," said Smith. "They're in a battle and they're not giving up, you know they're fighting and I can't give up. They have to deal with it everyday, so why can't I do it for one day?"
Smith has had a police escort and support crew with him all day, with friends and family members of Erica's took turns running alongside him.
"My feet hurt. My legs hurt. Without them, I don't think I could do this," said Smith.
Erica's cousin says she still can't believe he's doing this, and says it means the world to their family, not just the funds, but the community support it's generating.
"It means a whole lot to know that people really love you. We can tell her that all day but to show it and see people who are really supporting her and showing that love for her," said Rita Pemberton, Erica's cousin.
So mile after mile, Trinity trudges one, his T-shirt emblazoned with the words "Team Erica," and her own personal cancer fighting catch phrase written on the back; "No White Flags."
Like Erica, he says giving up is never an option.
"I don't wanna let her down or anybody. I want to finish," said Smith.
Smith's run will end at the Walgreens on Alberta Street in Oneida.
That's where Erica used to work before she got sick.
They are collecting the donations from the community.
Anyone interested in donating can checks payable to Erica and Josh Byrd there.
For more information, contact Walgreens at 423 -286-2270.

UNDATED (WSAU) - The Department of Natural Resources is encouraging deer hunters to take part in a live chat with the groups in charge of the 2014 deer hunt regulations.
Groups are busy taking the Deer Trustee report that was released earlier this year and working it into a series of action plans for the DNR. Report coordinator Eric Lobner says the live chats will be part of the public record, along with proposals from committees in the DNR. "People will be able to review the materials and provide us with feedback, and that feedback will be provided to those action team members."
The live chat is just part of a series of meetings that have been taking place over the last several months in Stevens Point. Lobner says the Trustee's report is already posted online where the Live Chat is taking place. "It will provide a great opportunity to provide feedback and ask additional questions about the recommendations."
The live chat starts today at noon.

Blue Book A privately published, regularly updated directory of names and pertinent information about potential sitters, secretly subscribed to by spirit mediums who wish to have personal data with which to impress clients. Regional versions exist, and the source is carefully guarded. The data are submitted free or sold to the publishers by practicing mediums, who obtain it from each other and from important and wealthy clients.
Individual "spirit camps" or similar communities will often keep their own private lists, formerly on index cards, but now in computer form, of persons who have visited there. Former spirit medium and author Lamar Keene describes the process in his book The Psychic Mafia.

The Amazing Race 15: All About the H20
- Monday, October 19, 2009
We can't live without water. But I think we can live without The Amazing Race. At least I can. That's how I felt after watching this week. Seriously bored. But hopefully that will soon change.
Moving on …
As my title suggests, water was key in the challenges this week. To get to the H20, teams first received this clue: "Fly to the Persian Gulf and find the world's tallest building." They then had to figure out that it was in Burj, Dubai (and is nearly twice as tall as the Empire State Building).
Once they reached the airport in Cambodia (their last pit stop from episode four), all teams made it on to the same flight and touched down in Dubai where they had to taxi to the building and sign in on a white board. Teams could ride in two groups up to the top of the building (five teams per group) with 15 minutes between departures.
Once they reached the top of the building (144th floor), the teams received their next clue to make their way to a parking structure where they found a car assigned to them and drove themselves to a conservation reserve in the desert. A Fast Forward was offered at this point. And Team All American (Cheyne and Meghan) decided to take it (they were the only team to go for the FF … more on that in a minute).
On to the desert … and the water …
Form of … a liquid! Once teams reached the reserve, they then had to search for an urn filled with water (amongst multiple urns that were half-buried in the sand). As they scrambled up and down dunes, searching for urns, teams kept finding them empty. Finally, one by one, the teams found the urn with water, ladled some H20 into their water bags and took them to the Bedouin standing with some camels and then received the next clue.
Form of … crystallized vapors! The teams were then instructed to drive back into the city to Ski Dubai, a large indoor ski complex (several football fields in length) where there were two choices presented: build a snowman or find a snowman.
Teams that chose to "find a snowman" had to dig in the snow (with their bare hands) to find a small snowman figurine. Those who chose to "build a snowman" had to do so outdoors in the 100+ degree Dubai heat.
Meanwhile, back at the racetrack …
Team All American's Fast Forward took them to The Dubai Autodrome, an outdoor racetrack where Cheyne had to drive a race car and complete one lap around a course (at speeds of up to 100 mph) in less than 45 seconds. While a tearful Meghan looked on, Cheyne put the pedal to the metal ("I am the man!" he shouted while zipping around) and did what it took. Team All American was then driven (in a Maserati no less!) to the pit stop at an outdoor amphitheater where they were pronounced to be in "first place" by host Phil Keoghan.
Let it snow, let it snow, let it find or build a snowman …
Back at Ski Dubai, all teams decided to "find a snowman." Team Jungle Fever (Brian and Ericka) were the first to do so and got their next clue and made their way to the amphitheater pit stop.
Meanwhile, the other teams continued digging away. One by one, they switched tasks and decided to "build a snowman" instead. Team Music City (Mika and Canaan) and Team Hothead (Lance and Keri) were the last two teams to arrive at Ski Dubai and chose to "build a snowman"). Team Music City finished the fastest and was the last to arrive at the pit stop in 7th place. Team Hothead was out as they arrived last. So now, the standings are as follows:
1st Place: Meghan and Cheyne (Team All American)
2nd Place: Brian and Ericka (Team Jungle Fever)
3rd Place: Herbert and Nathaniel (Team Globetrotter)
4th Place: Gary and Matt (Team Father & Son)
5th Place: Sam and Dan (Team Bro)
6th Place: Maria and Tiffany (Team Poker)
7th Place: Mika and Canaan (Team Music City)

What If the World's Food Supplies Run Out?
What If the World's Food Supplies Run Out? Will science and technology be our saviour in the years to come.Some people think the next war will be over water resources. But it might be so that it will be about food.
The poor were having too many babies. If this continued, I reckon, the planet would run out of food. Well, there were only nine hundred million humans on the planet once. Now there are about 7 billion. This is expected to rise to 10 billion by mid-century.

Apr 9 2013: Hello Zx,
My concern is not about Doomsday. Its about the population. it is likely that world population will reach 8.3 billion by about 2025, and possibly 10 billion before leveling off. I am looking for answers of how we can stabilize the global population at the lowest possible level. I am sure there are ways to increasing food production by modernizing and intensifying agriculture in an environmentally sustainable fashion.
As time goes on, the control of water for food and agricultural uses will become a more pressing issue. I mean more food will have to be produced over the next 50 years than has been during the past 10,000 years combined.

Recently on the qrp-l mailing list, there was a thread on circuit-simulation software appropriate for amateur radio use. George, WD0AKZ, replied with two URLs:
Scott, KB0KFX, also chimed in:
I'd recommend checking out LTspice for the free route. It is widely used by engineers in industry and also popular in the hobbiest community. The documentation is decent and doing a google search you should be able to find many ham radio related examples. The LTSpice Yahoo Group is also a huge repository of examples and howtos. Use their file index system in the Files section of the Yahoo group to search and download examples. I've evaluated many of the spice simulators for my work a few years ago and this is just about as good as the rest for linear circuit simulation. You can easily include other vendor models besides the included LT ic's. (see Yahoogroup examples)
Random Notes:
I attended a TI Motor Controls seminar this past year that talked about complex motor control schemes and DSP algorithm development. The TI app engineer had all of his example simulations in LTspice….go figure.
Once you've used it, I can build up qrp circuits like a multistage sallen key op amp filter in 10-15 minutes. (TI has some good free software for designing active filters). A few weeks ago I was playing around with a sallen key filter for something to add to the Rockmite and I wanted to get a better idea what it would actually sound like. I used a PC mic to record various wav files from my HF radio speaker with the radio bandwidth at max (~3.5kHz). It had multiple CW signals in the passband. LTspice allows the use of a wav file to be linked to a voltage source. This voltage source was fed into the sallen key filter with the output writing to another wav file. The post processed wav file was filtered by the op amp circuit and could easily hear the ringing because I was too aggressive of using a narrow bandwidth. I should have an online repository to post such experiments to share with the group, but I don't at this time.
So, there you have it. If you're interested at all in doing some circuit simulation, that should keep you busy for a while.

Paul Cellucci deserved better than to have his memorial service sullied by William Bulger.
The Massachusetts political establishment paid a fond tribute to the former governor and ambassador, who died this month of Lou Gehrig's disease, at a State House ceremony filled with dignitaries from across the political spectrum. It was heartening to see old rivals join in honoring Cellucci, an engaging, public-spirited mensch — the kind of politician who gives politics a good name. But Bulger's presence at such an event wasn't heartening. It was disgraceful. And so was the reception he met.

Savannah homebuilders are optimistic about the coming construction season, the Savannah Morning News is reporting ("Home builders bracing for busy spring," by Adam Van Brimmer). "Home builders are readying for what many expect to be their busiest spring since the housing bust left dozens of planned subdivisions incomplete or untouched," the paper reports. "Many of those neglected developments, recognizable by the PVC pipes sticking out of the ground where they would ostensibly hook up to new homes, began to see activity late last year as market conditions improved."
Big national homebuilders are boosting their presence in the Savannah market, the paper reports: "The nation's largest luxury home builder, Toll Bros., recently purchased The Reserve on Hutchinson Island. Another major industry player, K.B. Homes, is involved in a pair of developments nearby in Bluffton." But Mark Konter of local builder Konter Quality Homes, currently president of the Home Builders Association of Greater Savannah, told the Morning News he's not worried.
"Competition is good," Konter said. "And with local builders maintaining control of the market through three cycles now — boom, bust and recovery — odds are local home builders will continue to do the majority of the new home sales business."

San Miguel

Adult Fiction BOYLE
What other readers are saying about this title:
EmilyEm said:
Boyle tells this story of two families living on San Miguel, one of the Channel Islands off coast of California at Santa Barbara. They are told through the eyes of women, reluctant adventurers in this lonely place during the 1880s and the 1930s. As he did in his book The Women, Boyle uses real lives, journals and articles to create his fictional tale. But, I had an uneasy feeling this time. Marantha, the woman from an earlier time, is dying of TB, making the first part very grim. By contrast, Elise embraces her life on this remote island, seemingly happier than could be possible. Disappointing for me
