Andre Schurrle and Demba Ba hosted NBA star Kevin Garnett of the Brooklyn Nets on Thursday, before welcoming the entire Atlanta Hawks team later in the day.
The basketball-loving Chelsea pair were on hand to meet the visitors, who are in London ahead of Thursday night's regular season encounter at the O2 Arena, offering their very own tour of the Bridge before having a go at shooting some hoops themselves.
Garnett, a huge Chelsea fan, who has a pair of specially-designed shoes in our museum, admitted: 'I'm like a kid in a candy store right now!', while Schurrle and Ba were both quick to tweet their satisfaction at meeting the man known as 'The Big Ticket'.
Among the Hawks visitors were German Dennis Schroeder, who spent time talking with Schurrle, and Kyle Korver, who presented our German international with his own team jersey in the Chelsea dressing room.
The Nets and the Hawks meet on Thursday night, with several Chelsea players set to watch the game. Schurrle will be among the sell-out audience in east London, and shared his thoughts on a special afternoon.
'It's great, and for them it's great to see the stadium and feel the atmosphere of Stamford Bridge,' the 23-year-old winger said. 'I was in the States and saw some matches so was excited to see them and know how they feel to be here.
'I follow the NBA - there are a few German players there. I don't follow one team in particular, but really like some players. Dennis is a good boy and I really hope he can make it there. We've had some conversations on Twitter before, so it was good to meet him and we'll stay in touch.
'Kevin Garnett was really, really tall. It's unbelievable, but when I saw him it was good to see how this great player who achieved so many things was so happy to be at our stadium.'

Florida Marlins center fielder Cameron Maybin to have shoulder surgery Mondayby Joe Capozzi
Cameron Maybin will undergo surgery Monday to repair a partially-torn labrum in his left shoulder. Maybin, slated to be the starting center fielder in 2010, is expected to be ready for spring training.
The shoulder bothered Maybin in the second half of the season but not bad enough to keep him out of the lineup. The news comes a day after the Marlins traded RF Jeremy Hermida to Boston.
As of now, the Marlins outfield in 2010 looks to be Chris Coghlan in left, Maybin and Cody Ross in right. Minor league outfielders Scott Cousins and John Raynor will get a close look in spring training, too.
On Thursday, Marlins baseball operations president Larry Beinfest didn't address Maybin's shoulder but spoke in general about the outfield.
"If Maybin slides into center field, Cody can play right. Stanton and Cousins are on their way," Beinfest said.
2B Dan Uggla is expected to be traded. As of now, the Marlins are considering Emilio Bonifacio at second. If they go that way and Bonifacio struggles early in the season, Coghlan could be moved to second base.

Code requires 15" either side of the centerline of the toilet and 24" in front. It doesn't directly address any intrusion into the door space (that I know of, but that's definately not conclusive!).
Hi all - As part of our bathroom remodel, I'm replacing our ancient Kohler low rider toilet with the Toto Drake CST454CEFG. As you can see from the picture, the current toilet front edge protrudes a bit into the door opening space and just grazes the door as it swings in.
I'm changing the door to a pocket door, but do I still have a concern with passing inspection if the Drake still sticks out? Distance from the doorway to the toilet center line is 20" in from the door opening, and the door is 28" wide. 20" in from the door, the elongated bowl of the Drake will stick out 1-1.5" into the door opening. This seems like it would be ok for walking past, especially with the pocket door - but maybe we're just used to sidestepping this monolithic Kohler.
Would this pass inspection? Or should I switch to the round bowl Drake? I'd really like to stick with the elongated bowl, but not if there's a code concern.
Code requires 15" either side of the centerline of the toilet and 24" in front. It doesn't directly address any intrusion into the door space (that I know of, but that's definately not conclusive!).

The CST454CEFG is the Drake II. It only comes in elongated. The CST743S or CST743E are the 1.6gpf and 1.28gpf round-bowl original Drakes, respectively. CST744S and CST744E are the elongated original Drakes.
The model number you named is a nice toilet, with eco-flush (1.28), dual-cyclone flush, sanagloss, and Universal Height, all included.
FWIW IMHO, a typical elongated toilet seems smaller in a room verses a round one because it is smaller across at the front. ANy male in the house will appreciate it, and many women, too.

Your space between the toilet and wall does appear to be less than code required 15", but that's what you have to work with. It might be wise to discuss this with your local inspector to see if this could be grandfathered. As noted, the slight extra space in front of the toilet will not really be a problem, so do go with the elongated bowl.
Please note that I stated you should check with your local inspector to see if this width problem can be grandfathered. If it can not, then you have a whole new problem. Obviously the existing toilet has be functioning for years at this width, but code does require 15" from toilet center to walls. You photo doesn't give a good perspective, so you should measure and see just what you really have.
To the OP-
I would recommend you look into what codes your city uses and which code your bathroom would fall under. People here are talking about 24" clearances required in front of the toilet. My community still uses the 2009 International Residential Code for home bathrooms, which only requires a 21" clearance in front of a toilet. I dug up this picture from a website that makes the 2009 IRC available online.
Note - I'm no code expert, so contact your local officials for the final word.

Craig Russell heard the massive oak's thud from his home a block away, and now he's asking the city to act before the next close call threatens another life.
As the facilities manager for the city's Parks and Recreation Department, Russell began looking after trees in need of attention many years ago.
He said the tree that nearly hurt Ingram was on a list of trees that need removal, a list he said he'd turned into the city in 2007. Some of the trees on that list were removed, but cost has prohibited the city from getting to them all, Russell said.
A drive down Main Street is all that's needed to see the scope of Russell's responsibility. The canopy of green overhead draws the eye, and that's what people love about small Southern towns, Russell said, but it can come at a cost.
An old oak fell on a car on Southern Avenue in the 1980s, killing three of four in one family, Russell said.
"That's always stuck in people's minds. It was just horrible," Russell said.
He's asking the city to pay for an arborist to complete a study of the city's damaged and dangerous trees. With that study, Russell said he will begin addressing the trees individually.
Just such a plan was completed in 2001, Russell said, but it needs updating.
"Many of those trees have fallen since then, and the others are 12 years older, and there have been three summers of drought," Russell said.
Mighty oaks from little acorns grow
Many of those old oaks were planted as saplings at the turn of the last century, just as the cotton mill began revving the town's economic engine, hiring farmers off the fields who bought new homes in town with their paychecks.
The mill village is dotted with tall oaks, dwarfing the small one- and two-bedroom bungalows underneath their shade. They hang high above Main Street and Southern Avenue, where children still ride bicycles to school underneath the long limbs.
The story goes that Hoyt Molock — long-time cotton mill worker who died at age 84 in 1994 — spent the summers of his youth riding around town in horse-and-buggy, watering the saplings for a nickel an hour.
The problem, said certified arborist Robert Bussey — who operates Treeworks in Anniston — is what's taken place in the decades since planting.
"You see that a lot in these towns. A hundred years ago they planted a lot of them along the streets, and the streets have changed since then, Bussey said.
Construction can damage major root arteries, Bussey said, and that damage is often never addressed.
"The trees are thought of secondary, a lot of times," Bussey said. "Over the years, due to the damage of the roots there ends up being a lot of decay."
Much of that decay is found in the root system underground, he said, and while some trees may look healthy they can be dangerous.
"The small feeder roots that feed the tree and cause the leaves to come out, they're all good, but all those bigger roots that hold that thing in the ground have a lot of decay," Bussey said.
Hurricane Opal in 1995 felled about 50 old-growth trees in Piedmont, and in the years since about the same number have come down, either naturally or by chainsaw, Russell said.
Jacksonville hired an arborist to complete a study on its trees about three years ago, said Mayor Johnny Smith.
Smith said the study, which looked at trees on public land, provided guidelines on how best to preserve the city's trees, and a list of those that need removal.
"It is expensive," Smith said, speaking of tree removal. "We couldn't afford to do them all at one time, so we had to prioritize ..."
"Those trees are kind of like we are. They do have a lifespan ... some of them last a long time, but they run out of time too," Smith said.
Much of it does come down to money, Russell said, explaining it can cost $6,000 or more to have a tree removed. That cost can be a burden on homeowners who may be required under municipal code to have a tree on their property removed, and on the city for damaged trees on public property.
Bussey said he works with both homeowners and with municipalities.
"Some cities put a lot of money in their trees. Some put very little," he said.
The study itself, Russell estimates, will cost between $12,000 to $15,000.
But the cost of not having it done may be too high, Russell said. He plans to discuss the matter with the council at the next meeting, set for May 21.
"We have a duty as employees and councilmen to take care of our citizens," he said. "That includes trees that might fall, and if we have knowledge before time, and we've made no action ... That's why I want to do this."

Best of Vegas is RIGHT ON THE MONEY! – Having lived inThailand for several years working as a cook, we have found it really hard to find "real" Thai food in Las Vegas. The Hyped up readers-reviews only led us down the familiar path of disappointment. We discovered Jasmine from the Review Journal's Staff pick for Best of Vegas. We figured the staff at the local newspaper must have a "valid" opinion. They were right on the money! Finally a Thai restaurant that follows traditional Thai recipes and flavors. We didn't order Pad Thai, thats like judging an Italian restaurant based on spaghetti. Instead we went for the "Thai Jungle menu" which was authentic Essan Style (my wife's specialty) and the staff recommendation of the Chaing Mai style Roasted Duck Curry. That is Thai, a little spicy (not taste deadening like the hyped Thai places) and freshly prepared sauces of ginger, lime, cilantro & coconut. Besides the food being the headliner, the atmosphere took us back. Not the traditional Asian eatery we were expecting. We dined in a dim-lit, romantic restaurant with quiet jazz music filling the air. The attentive staff was knowledgable on every item, from the wines to the deserts! Very impressive! They also were very attentive to our needs without being overbearing (similar to the Thai hospitality in their native country.) since our visit we have returned on several occasions & tried most of the menu items. They even catered an Event at our office which won over the entire staff (even our picky secretary that vowed not to eat Thai because it was "hot"). Thank you, Jasmine, for brining our recollection of the real Thai experience to Las Vegas. You deserve the recognition of Best of Vegas!
We tested and JASMINE has won - BEST OF VEGAS THAI – The BEST Thai ln Las Vegas? Forget the advertised banners and marketing "best of" gimmicks. Do your own test and see for yourself! Real Authentic Thai! We have tried other so called Thai restaurants only to be rushed through a sugar-laced spicy dinner and sent on our way! Jasmine has a quiet, romantic atmosphere with a relaxing feel. Jazz music playing in the background, a service staff that is attentive without being intrusive and the dining experience that shows Jasmine's intention of allowing the customer to enjoy themselves instead of being rushed along to fill up the table again! Although the service and ambiance is top notch for Asian restaurants, the food is what keeps us coming back, almost weekly! Freshly prepard meals cooked to our liking (spicy or not) and presented beautifly with a fresh flower. We compared our favorite dishes at other Thai places just to see the difference. Now we are convinced that Jasmine does has the BEST ann most AUTHENTIC Thai food. We suggested to our friends & collegues to do their own taste test. All of our friends and office mates have concurred: Jasmine Wins BEST of VEGAS in Thai Food!
Vegas' top Asian cafe! – I have tried the "others" but to no avail! The asian restaurants of Las Vegas are either over-priced glamor spots tucked inside our casinos or they are a cheapend, sugar-laced attempt at what they call "authentic." Thai is Thai, people. Get it right!
Jasmine is the valley's closest thing to REAL THAI without the 18 hour flight! The Essan dishes from Northern Thailand are exactly the same tastes and spices I experienced on my many travels to the country. I also was very impressed with the curries. Each dish is cooked to order, not sitting under a lamp waiting for me to arrive and order.
The best thing I come to love about Jasmine is I didn't get the sugar "high" after eating there, unlike some of the other Asian restaurants.
You have a fan for life, Thank you for sticking to traditions when the others are just cooking to please the people!
Best Thai in the City – I tried this place for the first time last year. Now I won't eat Thai anywhere else in the city. The dishes are exceptionally prepared. None of that greasy or oily textures that some Asian foods can acquire. They only use white meats for poultry and thier beef and pork and USDA quality. No cheap cuts or preparation here. The sauces are well prepared and when they say "Spicy" it doesn't mean White person spicy. Be aware that this food is HOT if you ask for it that way. If you order delivery service they package the sauces seperately so that you can add it after you receive it so that you vegetables and meats don't become soggy. I love their food. I highly recommend the House Noodles. The place is very clean, the service polite and on time and they don't hang around the table bugging you. 5 Stars!
You won't find a better Thai Restaurant in Las Vegas – Food always very good. Service great. Place is very nice and clean. Pretty romanti also. It will take you quite a few trips to Jasmine to try all of their great dishes. My wife and I love their soups and the fish cake is the best we have found anywhere. The protions a very generous and they have a great wine list which is a very nice to find at a Thai restaurant. If you like HOT make sure you tell them to kick it up! We like hot and always make sure they understand that! On a 1-10 the 9 seems to work great for us. Jasmine is not very far from the strip also. I hope you enjoy your trip to Jasmine as much as we do. After 3 or 4 years of dining at Jasmine we always look forward to going back again.
the best kept secret in town – The food is great. It is wonderful, quiet and clean place, with interesting and carefull perpared food.

Perfection. Great staff. Cool vibe.
Best pizza in Raleigh - unlimited choices. Sauces + Crust are divine.
Another local pizza place MM is a close second. If you want great pizza - Lillys is the place! Also for our friends they have some vegan options - which according to them are very good.
Delicious slices of pizza, kind counter staffs and great atmosphere.
Lilly's Pizza makes an incredible pizza, but the service is lacking. The two times I've eaten Lilly's, someone else has ordered and picked it up. Today, I wanted takeout. I called around lunchtime to ask what time I would need to call in a dinner order for a 4:45pm pickup time. I was told to call around 3:30 so the pizza would be ready. I called at 3:35 to place my order--1 small and 1 gluten-free. I arrived at 4:45. I was told that my pizzas weren't ready yet but that I could pay and they'd bring them right out in a few minutes. I paid and took a seat at a nearby table. There were 2 other small parties in the dining area at the time so it wasn't busy at all. By 5:10, several people had come in to pick up takeout orders and were given their pizzas. I went to the counter to check on mine, thinking maybe the guy got busy and forgot to bring mine. He checked and after a few minutes came back and said that my pizzas didn't get in the oven in time. I had something I was supposed to do at 5pm and was already late, so I asked for a refund. There was some confusion about the credit card transaction. I was assured that even though my card was swiped, the payment hadn't yet gone through and that everything was okay. I checked my bank account and everything looks good so far...I'm just hoping the receipt won't get grabbed by mistake and get put in the system. The guy was nice about the refund. I explained I had called in my order at 3:30 for a 4:45 pickup. I was afraid 7-10 more minutes might end up being longer than that, so a refund was the best option. The pizza has been great the two times I've eaten it. I was disappointed to leave without pizza tonight. The guys seemed nice enough, but no one seems overly concerned about customer service. Being that parking is a bit of a hassle in that area anyway, and no guarantee of the pizza being ready on time, I probably will not try Lilly's again. It's really a shame because the pizza is really, really good and I would love to put Lilly's in my regular takeout rotation. I would much rather support locally-owned restaurants that use fresh, organic ingredients than the chain restaurants. If I had been offered a discount for the inconvenience of such a long wait time, I may have waited since I was already late for my commitment, but I was not going to pay $25 for 2 takeout pizzas that were at least 40 minutes late.
Service was excellent on top of the food! – The counter person was courteous, and the salad couldn't have arrived any faster! Shortly after, the most delicious pizza (fresh mozzarella, garlic, basil, tomatoes, and baby spinach) sat on the table. Great food, Great Value! Thanks to Edgar for making our experience worth the drive!!!
Best Damned Pizza In the Triangle! – Love this place.! Okay, the atmosphere is hip and parking is difficult, but it is definitely worth the try. All organic pies and sauce made from scratch daily! Absolutely delicious!
Decided to post this since I know a person who works there. The Sweiditis person below is a complete fraud; he failed to give his credit card # entirely and upon delivery refused to do so. The driver politely gave him his food for free and, the ungrateful .... came on here and made a complete fool of himself?
Yes, Lines can be long, but there is a good reason for it!
Enjoy the salads as well. Very Tasty!
Don't buy the name, the pizza is horrible!!!!! – I have ordered from Lilly's pizza for quite a while and the pizza and service has been inconsistant to say the least. We ordered a pizza tonight and it arrived completely uncooked except for the burned outer crust. When I called to complain they sent another pizza 45 minutes later with no apology. Don't pay cash, if you choose to give them your business, use your credit card so you have some recourse if there is a problem with your order, and there will be a problem!!!!!
Best Pizza in Raleigh but take this advice – This pizza is awesome but my advice is to get take out and don't be a sucker and wait in line with the people eating there to pick it up. The resturant is small and the line moves very slow.
Everytime I eat here they screw up the order somehow but when I get take out I never have a problem(strange).
If you want to sit down and eat some good pizza then go to Mellow Mushroom but if you want the best pizza in town call in your order and go pick it up from Lilly's.
Awful Service – Absolutely horrendous service and very suspicious management of your credit card information. I ordered a pizza for delivery which arrived 1 hour and 45 minutes later (I live less than 5 minutes from Lily's)...this turned out to be the least of my problem. Despite having paid for my order over the phone (repeated my credit card information twice), they claimed to have no record of my payment. I spoke to the manager several times who insisted no one had received the information yet somehow magically, the order was placed and delivered almost two hours later. Having worked as an attorney for many years, I am well aware of the prevalence of credit card fraud in the restaurant business. If you for some odd reason would like to order food from here, pay with cash! Speaking of food, the pizza we received was not eatable. It was almost all the way uncooked. Stay away from this place. If you are on the fence, take a peak into their kitchen...that's all I have to say...you'll thank me later.
A Must If You Are Visiting Raleigh – This place is hands down the best Pizza in Raleigh! Seriously people might complain about the parking and how crowded the place is on a Friday or Saturday night but the truth really is that the pizza is worth all the headache! They have so many unique pizzas that you can't get anywhere else and the atmosphere can't be beat! I take everyone who visits me from out of town to Lilly's Pizza and I have never had anyone tell me they were not a fan! If you love pizza as much as I do get to Lilly's and you wont be sorry!

ADA News
Dental students attend economic discussion
Symposium panel: Panelists at the event, held at the University of Minnesota School of Dentistry, discuss how the economy is affecting the profession. The experts included, from left seated, Dr. Karl Self, Dr. Albert Guay, Dr. Howard Bailit, Dr. L. Jackson Brown and Kent Nash. Dr. Todd Marshall, standing, a Park Dental representative, moderated.
Around 135 students took time out of their busy schedules and packed course loads Feb. 28 to attend a symposium sponsored by Park Dental titled "The Economic and Workforce Trends Facing Dentistry Today." Four renowned dental economists and a university faculty member spoke on what the dental economy looks like today and what dental students can look forward to as they continue their careers.
"It was amazing," said Dr. Leon Assael, dental school dean. "The speakers did a great job at looking at workforce needs and disease trends and utilization trends and looking at the way dentists are practicing now and how they will be in the future."
The panelists included Dr. Howard Bailit, Ph.D., professor emeritus at the University of Connecticut Health Center; Dr. Karl Self, director of the division of dental therapy at the University of Minnesota School of Dentistry; Dr. Albert Guay, chief policy advisor at the American Dental Association; Kent Nash, Ph.D., president of Nash and Associates, an economic consulting firm; and Dr. L. Jackson Brown, Ph.D., former editor of the Journal of Dental Education.
"It was really interesting to get an economist's perspective on a general scale on what's going on with dentistry and the country," said Erik Davis, a fourth-year dental student.
Leaders with Park Dental, a large group practice in Minnesota that's owned and governed solely by licensed dentists, proposed the symposium after reading an article in the August 2012 edition of the Journal of Dental Education, which devoted coverage to dental economics, workforce and education, said Dr. Todd Marshall, board member at Park Dental and a member of the ADA Council on Dental Practice.
"Members of our group had read the special issue and thought there were some significant points in it. We wanted to see what Park could do to bring this knowledge to a broader audience," Dr. Marshall said. "I think it's well-founded that students in general are not exposed to this kind of information too much within the dental school curriculum that they have, which is more clinical and developmental in focus."
In addition to dental students and faculty, there were a number of dentists, members and leaders within the Minnesota Dental Association and current and former members of the Minnesota Board of Dentistry. The MDA has worked hard to forge a close relationship with the Minnesota School of Dentistry and Park Dental.
In 2011 and 2012, the MDA received an ADA Membership Program for Growth grant and used it to successfully grow its membership among dentists in group practice in Minnesota. In the last year, the MDA increased its market share among the three largest group practices in the state—Park Dental, Metro Dentalcare and HealthPartners—by more than 12 percent, from 60.5 percent to 72.9 percent, said Dawn Jensen, director of membership for the Minnesota Dental Association.
Ms. Jensen said leaders at Park Dental played a big role in the growth by securing MDA membership for 100 percent of their dentists.
"It was a big win for us," Ms. Jensen said.
"That was an important step for us to make that acknowledgement that we wanted to make sure we were steadfastly behind membership in organized dentistry," said Dr. John Gulon, president of Park Dental. "We're committed to doing our part to joining our brothers and sisters in the profession to advance the needs of the profession, which will ultimately serve the patients more productively."
The next goal for the MDA is developing a benefits package for dentists in the large group practices. Ms. Jensen hopes it will reinforce the value of membership in organized dentistry and the position of the MDA as an advocate for employee dentists. MDA leaders will meet with a group of 12 dentists practicing with Park Dental, HealthPartners and Metro Dentalcare to update them on current issues in dentistry and the benefits available to members.
The MDA will also meet with a consultant or facilitator in hopes of creating marketing objectives to track the association's membership growth and retention for the next three years, Ms. Jensen said.
With Bank of America, the state dental association helped plan another symposium March 26 on life after graduation. The goal was to help dental students understand their options on whether they should buy a practice or start one from scratch, Ms. Jensen said.
The state association is also working to schedule evening courses on practice management for students who feel like they don't receive enough business education while they're focusing on their clinical work, Ms. Jensen said. Members of the University of Minnesota's American Student Dental Association chapter serve on MDA committees and have votes that carry the same weight as traditional MDA members, she said.
MDA leadership also meets with students several times a year to discuss any issues they might have in dental school and hear what the students feel the current hot topics are, Ms. Jensen said.

The music is blasting, you're in the dark and the special effect lighting is flickering about the room. Dry ice fills the air and there you are on the jump station at the top of 143 steps. This is a unique experience and the only one of its kind in the world. This parachute simulator is a real heart stopper; you'll jump into the abyss for a 150ft fall, dropping at a gravity rate of 97%. That means there will be as little as a 3% resistance to your body.
This facility has a sophisticated Powerfan technology which will guide you in the last 30ft of your fall, providing a smooth and gentle landing that will simulate the experience of a real life parachute landing. This is one exhilarating adventure that adrenaline junkies and thrill seekers should not miss out on!
Once you have arrived at the award winning Magna Science Adventure Centre you will be given a safety briefing and fitted into your harness. First you will need to pluck up the courage to climb more than 140 steps to your jump station - no one's going to want to turn around and shamefully walk back down those.
Then it's time for you to swallow hard and leap ahead to your 150ft fall. 120ft later you will be blasted by the Powerfan which will aid you in landing safely. Make an attempt to keep the fear undetectable as the cameras take photographs of you in action.

Where To Write
Address your correspondence to: Four Wheeler, 831 S. Douglas St., El Segundo, CA 90245. All letters become the property of Four Wheeler, and we reserve the right to edit them for length, accuracy, and clarity. The editorial department can also be reached through the website at www.fourwheeler.com. Due to the volume of mail, electronic and otherwise, we cannot respond to every reader, but we do read everything.
Top Truck Classes: The Readers Speak Out
In the December '09 "Letters" column, Douglas McColloch wanted to know what readers thought about his Top Truck Challenge idea of five trucks and five buggies split into two separate classes. I say five stars! Do it! Top Truck has turned into a rockcrawler-style vehicle challenge.
Tim Joyce
Brewster, NY
Just a brief note in response to your December '09 editorial and Top Truck Challenge: For me, TTC became uninteresting the moment the requirement of street-legality was dropped. At that time, TTC's pathway was clearly towards a monster truck show. Sure, those vehicles are extremely capable-in the confines of a closed off-road arena. But is there anything to learn (or parts to buy) for my own truck? Not anymore.
J. Michael Salbaum
via the Internet
On your question about separating the Top Truck buggies and the trucks into two groups, I think you should. Then hold a truck and buggy run-off to see which is best-sort of like a Super Bowl TTC. You have a great magazine I've been a reader since 1980.
Dan Puricelli
Midlothian, VA
Responding to your TTC suggestion: I think your truck and buggy separation would be good idea.
Ed Pedersen
Thornton, CO
You asked if Top Truck Challenge should be divided into separate truck and buggy classes. Then a few pages later, you listed the winners of last year's TTC. The top four places went to buggies, followed by six trucks. That should answer your question, shouldn't it?
Mikey Bishop
Kirksville, MO
Douglas McColloch replies: There's a smart-aleck in every crowd, isn't there? (For what it's worth, my dad was born in Kirksville, so heck, we're among family here, right?) So far, the reader mail has been nearly unanimous in wishing to see Top Truck broken up into separate Truck and Buggy classes. At the moment, we're inclined to do it, too, but it will all depend on the quantity of entries (both truck and buggy) that we receive for next month's balloting. We'll have a better idea about whether it's doable or not a month from now.
Bring Back Real Truck Challenge!
I noticed that there was a lot of talk about bringing back your Real Truck Challenge. I attended most of them at the Badlands Off-Road Park, and I really enjoyed watching Average Joes like myself compete. I'm not sure why they were stopped, but I do know that a lot of fans and readers of your magazine were saddened to see it go.
I am writing you to offer a new location for the event. Redbird State Riding Area would be a great place to bring this event back. I am a member of the Redbird Foundation-we originally were a group of volunteers who maintained and ran the park. The state of Indiana has now manned the gates and relies on us now as a "friends group," and looks to us for ideas and events. We have around 1,500 acres, mostly old mining grounds. The trail system offers something for everyone, from a cruise through the woods to tight extreme trails. We even added a large rock garden. One of our trails, Trail 4, was awarded an Outstanding Trails Award by BF Goodrich. This event would do a lot to bring more attention to the park and help motivate the state to open up more areas for riders. Please consider bringing back Real Truck Challenge and please consider having it back in Indiana.
Kevin Mathis
Reelsville, IN
We're quite familiar with Redbird. Staff members and freelance contributors have visited the place in the past, and we'll agree, it's a terrific wheeling spot that would work well as a venue for a Real Truck-type event. The reason we killed Real Truck in the first place was, well, financial-we simply couldn't make it a profitable venture. (Which is a polite way of saying, not enough people like you showed up to watch the event in person.) That's not to say we'll never hold RTC again, and we'll continue to keep it in mind in the future when the economic climate becomes more favorable again.
Meanwhile, About The H3 . . .
I have been searching everywhere for serious off-road suspension upgrades for my 2008 Hummer H3. The only thing I have found, really, is a suspension lift from Rancho. This is very frustrating. The vehicle has been out now for 5 years, and I can't find anything. Can you help me find a company that offers some serious off-road equipment for my H3?
Houston, TX
One of the ironies about owning an H3 is that it's so capable in stock trim, you don't need to modify it very much to go almost anywhere in it. We're guessing that's why there hasn't been a land rush of aftermarket goodies for it in the past.
Still, there are few options out there. Besides the Rancho kit you mentioned, Tuff Country makes a 4-inch suspension lift for the H3, and both companies offer torsion key kits-as do Daystar, Skyjacker, Ready Lift, Trail Master, and Superlift-that level the ride and give you some two to 2 1/2 inches of added height.
Other stuff? Light Racing offers Jounce Shocks, Magnaflow makes an after-cat exhaust system, K&N and Airaid have performance air intake kits, ARB makes a winch bumper and Safari snorkel, and Gobi USA has a way-cool roof rack for it. For even more ideas, check out our eight-part Project "Trailhugger" series, in which we built our own Hummer H3. You can find all the episodes online at fourwheeler.com.

Wow. Is my record collection ever getting a panning from these writers...
Black Sabbath Paranoid review...wow...
Rolling Stone's album reviews(historically) are fairly poor, imo.
That's an incredibly broad, blanket statement, don't you think, Mark? They've been doing record reviews for 44 years with some of the best music critics of two generations & they are all historically bad??? That's not an informed view. Just because they maybe don't like who you like doesn't make it a bad review. Perhaps in some instances your tastes (like everybody's at times) aren't so great.
Just because you don't agree with something doesn't make it bad. It makes it a difference of opinion...
I did say it was my opinion and I'm more than willing to concede that my taste in music doesn't really line up with Rolling Stone. I remember reading through the really old album reviews, and Rolling Stone was panning some good music with extreme prejudice. Either way, to be perfectly honest, I don't put much stock in what a music critic has to say about an artist or an album. If it's good, it's good. To harken back to another thread(and end on a humorous note), Frank Zappa has the best quote about the subject:
"Rock journalism is people who can't write, interviewing people who can't talk, for people who can't read." - Frank Zappa
Last edited by MarkD; 10-25-2011 at 06:04 PM.
Different writers, different opinions, subjective subject.
If I had a criticism for Rolling Stone - It would be that at times in the past they've been a bit revisionist. But that comes down also to changing times and different writers coming on and against my own bias and musical opinions too.
I'm more reading the reviews in the context of how interesting the various writers are and how they review music.

Tattoos >Zulu Tattoo
165 S Crescent Heights Blvd, Los Angeles, CA | Directions 9004834.072356 -118.365925
by appointment only
Neighborhoods: Beverly Center, Central LA
Inspired artwork and staff – Just got my third piece done by Kody. I Can't say enough good things about this place: creative, professional, friendly. First timers or vets, look no further..
Thanks – Got a nice arm peice done here looks great awesome colours evrything came through real nice, thanks guys
We are happy you had a positive experience! We hope to see you back again soon.
Simply Amazing – Erika is an exceptional artist who knows how to tune in to her clients on a spiritual and 'soul' level. Her work is impeccable. My piece on my arm is simply stunning.
Fantastic Place and Misha is Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! – This review is so overdue it's not even funny because I got my tattoo done last year! After some serious research I chose Zulu tattoo and I am so glad I did. Misha is beyond amazing. She worked with me in designing my concept, letting me know that I could do as far as color (I'm black so I didn't know if that was an option for me). She is so sweet, warm and friendly and of course an excellent artist and super fast. It took her only three hours to do my tattoo which went along my ribcage. The tattoo healed beautifully and I receive so many compliments. Even though technically this was my second tattoo I really consider it my first , true work of art. If you want a unique, personal, piece of excellence then get your work done at Zulu. Also I have to add everybody is so cool, inviting and friendly and happy, from Keleigh to Zulu to just everyone. The shop is clean, chill, relaxing and has a very positive spiritual energy throughout. I'm planning on getting another tattoo done by Misha (she doesn't know this yet lol!) which will be a cover up of that first tattoo and I can't wait to work and create, collaborate with her again. While it is pricey let me just say for the level of craftsmanship and artistry you will receive it is worth every single penny.
Misha is amazing and it sounds like you got exactly what you came for and more! We look forward to seeing you back in Misha's chair real soon!
Rocked!!!!!! – I just got my first tattoo from Kody and I am so grateful. I am a girl and when my dad passed away a few months ago i decided that i wanted to have something from him that show my feelings forever. I had to wait a few weeks to have my appointment with her but it worth it. She is friendly, nice and a great artist. Now that I got it, I really LOVE my tattoo. Its exactly what i hope. Everyone there was friendly and the place is quite and very clean and nice. Thank u guys for everything and Kody girl u kick assess!!!!
Not felling like part of the TRIBE – Trying to find the right shop is like finding the right job you call and go on interviews to several locations for day on end. Oh what is this a cool calm relaxing place yes this will do but unfortunately i did not take that home with me. Just make sure that the artist is not looking to leave the shop like in my situation shortly after i had booth me arms done not a cool and relaxed felling anymore. DONT GET LEFT LOOKIG FOR A MEW TRIBE.
Zulu Nation ... the People's Parlor! – Zulu Tattoo is representative of global ideas, creative people & artistic expression. Zulu is talented, yes, but it's his spiritually-minded approach to giving you your sacred mark. It's a ritual, an induction into the tribe, but all done with love and laughter, stimulating conversation and coupled within a sacred space that truly exist for the people -- All People!
40 hours, and back for more. – Zulu's shop is a welcoming and friendly environment. All of the staff is friendly and treat you as an individual, understanding that their work will have a permenant impact on your life.
Zulu himself is not only a brilliant and ntuitive artist, but a businessman of integrity.
I have had over 40 hours of tattoo work done from various artists at Zulu Tattoo, and I would recommend this studio to anyone getting a tattoo.
Adam Kilss is top notch/ Zulu's shop is welcoming – First and foremost, Adam Kilss is an amazing ARTIST and I would highly recommend his talent to anyone! His attention to detail with shading is next to none. That being said...this is my first tattoo so I was extremely picky with my choice of artists. After many visits to other studios, his work was the only work that screamed ART instead of tattoo. Because of this, I waited some time for his move to Zulu Tattoo.
He proved incredibly patient and understanding about all of my questions and concerns even the most trivial of inquiries. I truly appreciated Adam's ability to take my concept (which was pretty crude) and transform it into an eye-popping art piece. While I was extremely excited about the initial sketch I was given, it has no comparison to the final product that was placed on my back. During my session, he was friendly and professional. It seemed he recognized when I was feeling anxious or in pain and helped me through the rough patches of the session (which were few BTW) It made my first experience relaxing and comfortable. Again, I highly recommend Adam Kilss to anyone looking to get a tattoo.
Regarding Zulu tattoo, I felt very comfortable in the studio. The overall vibe of the place in calming and the music was peaceful. During my first 3.5 h in the chair, time seemed to progress quickly. The staff of Zulu was great as they answered many of my questions as well. Also had the opportunity to meet Kody (another tattoo artist) who proved welcoming and cool. Shop was extremely clean and meticulous.
Anyone interested in getting some artwork on their body should visit Zulu tattoo....ask for Adam :)
Second session is on the books and I cannot wait to complete my piece.
Thank you for your awesome review! We are fortunate to have some of the very best tattoo artists in LA! I can't wait to see your finished tattoo! We'll see you again very soon!
First Tattoo - Best in class staff! – At 42 I decided I wanted to get my first tattoo and I did alot of research on places/artists/designs. I finally found inspiration from a New Zealand artist and took my ideas to Zulu tattoo. My first tattoo ended up being a full back piece that is just breathtaking. I love it and give kudos to Khani, Kelly, Kali, and Kosi as all played a vital role in why I chose to go to Zulu. It was an overall fun, artistic, spiritual experience to visit them and undergo my first inking. I was very receptive to their artistic ideas and recommendations and would highly recommend them. If I decide to get any more work done, I would look forward to going back!

I should have ordered 2 of these as I plan to use both sides of it. I will use a banner die for my sentiment and cut it out of a coordinating color and will probably add some bling to it. I love the way the colors pop against the dark background.
I ordered 1 sheet of this 12 X 12 paper, it is so bright and has such wonderful color combination I'm ordering 5 more. The greeting card combinations and color possibilities are amazing.
This is such a beautiful pattern. I am going to use it in a family history album. But it would be a great pattern for other themes.

Just when you thought it could not get any worse, J.C. Penney one-ups itself.
Third-quarter same-store sales plunged 26 percent, bringing the two-year trend to a new low since CEO Ron Johnson started transforming the retailer into "America's Favorite Store." The company reported traffic has been consistent this year (down between 11 percent and 12 percent).
Yes, consistently bad, that is.
Conversion rates — changing shoppers into buyers — are also down. Gross margins missed because with a 26-percent decline in same-store sales, more clearance is unavoidable.
If you thought the whole "rip the Band-Aid coupon drug off" was going to hurt less going forward, think again. And that is why I have been talking about the likelihood of a 180 in strategy since the second-quarter call.
The real issue here is the lack of promotions. Retailers (including J.C. Penney) have the consumer well trained. They flash "for sale" signs or coupons and consumer traffic increases. But Johnson is trying to fight human nature and teach us about his idea of value perception with "Every Day Low Pricing."
The consumer is not having any part of this. Although the strategy is not working, Johnson is sticking with it — or is he?
Guess what? Penney announced it will have a "doozy" of a Black Friday sale. What? I thought you were sticking with the strategy? Oh, no, this will be a one-time thing. Investors expect it.
Ok. But what about the "Merry Christmas America" campaign to be announced on Monday? Sounds like another, dare I say, sale? And what do you call the recent email promo for $10 off? Oh, sorry that was a gift. Johnson also called it a tactic, not a strategy change.
I need to listen better. Johnson used an example that helped me clear it up. If he gives his son $10 in a birthday card it is not a coupon, it is a gift. To put the promotional debate to rest, Johnson suggested: "Call it what you want."
You can dress it up any way you like, but in my dictionary that is a discount.

The relational database management system (RDBMS) is a triumph of computer science. For more than two decades it has provided the data management layer for almost all major applications. When you consider that the entire IT industry was once described as "data processing," this is indeed a considerable achievement. However, for the first time in decades the relational database's monopoly on database management is weakening. The demands of big data and cloud computing have combined to create challenges that the RDBMS cannot completely address. In this white paper we'll review the challenges facing the RDBMS and how "cloud" or "NoSQL" database systems have emerged as alternative approaches in response.

Up there with Melt Away as the best side Max made outside the Black Ark; and surely the best of his twelve years away from Jamaica, from 1978 -1990.
This majestic rhythm was brought from Channel One to Wackies by Sugar Minott.
First to voice it was Jah Batta his bathetic version makes a comic interlude in Chris Coy's 1983 film about the label, when he mimes the lyrics to his companion, strolling in the park originally released on Junior Delahayes Sun Force label, the production credited to Batta, aka Tony Omeally. (The flip was the Jezzreel cut here, reworking The Upsetters classic Fever b-line. Even this you need.)
Max Romeos myth-making is more in tune with the genius of the rhythm. The song appeared originally on his album One Horse Race, mastered in London at PRT, and issued in New York on the Island In The Sun imprint, in 1985.

By now, you've probably at least heard about the new music released by Big Kenny--who is, of course, one-half of our favorite Muzikmafia duo Big & Rich.John Rich put out solo albums this year, but where John's led off with the politically barbed "Shuttin' Detroit Down," BK's effort was ushered in with the single "Long After I'm Gone"--a sweet, positive tune about leaving love as a legacy; one that couldn't be further away, subject-wise, from automotive industry woes and Wall Street bailouts.
The rest of BK's album, The Quiet Times Of A Rock And Roll Farm Boy, follows in the same happy vein, with sincere good vibes and an almost audible smile behind every tune. It's definitely the record to listen to this season if you're worn out from negativity (who isn't, lately, these days?)--and hey, it's a perfect Thanksgiving soundtrack! (That is, if your guests like country music. And if they don't, just call 'em turkeys!)
BK sat down to chat with Yahoo! Music about the new record, and he told us the meaning and inspiration behind just about every track. He's just as talkative in person as you'd imagine he'd be, so we cut his interview into two parts. Here's part one, in which he goes over the new album in detail. I'll post part two for you tomorrow. Hope you enjoy!

burst modeA data transmission mode in which data is sent faster than normal. There are a number of techniques for implementing burst modes. In a data bus, for example, a burst mode is usually implemented by allowing a device to seize control of the bus and not permitting other devices to interrupt. In RAM, burst modes are implemented by automatically fetching the next memory contents before they are requested. This is essentially the same technique used by disk caches.
The one characteristic that all burst modes have in common is that they are temporary and unsustainable. They allow faster data transfer rates than normal, but only for a limited period of time and only under special conditions.

Smart Energy Lighting
Lights are a primary source of energy consumption on campus. Purchasing more energy-efficient lighting units and systems is one place to start. However, a more immediate and effective way to curb consumption is for all of us to make a habit of turning off any lights that are not needed.
Did you know?
A classroom with 10 fluorescent light panels or 10 incandescent lights uses about 3000 watts per hour.
What You Can Do
When leaving a classroom, turn off the lights. When using a classroom, use only the lighting needed.

With more than two million existing sites and thousands of new ones added daily, the World Wide Web can be a very confusing place. It's like trying to find a library book without the help of the Dewey Decimal System. Fortunately, there is help out there. Search sites make order out of this chaos, acting almost like electronic card catalogs to help you find the information you need.
There are four types of search sites: 1) directories, 2) robotic search engines, 3) meta search sites, and 4) gateway sites.
1) Directories are cataloged by a team of human editors. The oldest and most popular directory on the Web is Yahoo (www. yahoo.com).
Pros: Directories are great for broad topics. For example, a search for CVBs will yield a neatly cataloged, alphabetized list of 284 convention and visitors bureaus that have Web sites.
Cons: A directory site does not work as well for narrow, targeted searches.
How to use: One of the best ways to use a directory is to "drill down," starting with the opening page menu, which lists many broad topics, and then narrow the search through successive screens. For example, to find "Convention and Visitors Bureaus," you would begin with an opening screen that has a category called "Travel." Clicking on this will lead to a listing of "Convention and Visitors Bureaus" on the next page. Then you can narrow the search to bureaus in "U.S. Cities," until finally you have an extensive, alphabetical list of U.S. CVBs.
2) Robotic search engines automatically search and catalog Web sites by using special indexing software programs. These programs sort many components of a site, including key words, introductory paragraphs, hidden codes, graphics, and more. The major ones index vastly more Web pages than Yahoo does. Two of the best among the scores of robotic search engines are HotBot (www.hotbot.com) and AltaVista (www.altavista.com).
Pros: These sites are good for narrow, targeted searches. If you are looking for Web information regarding a specific person, these are the sites to use. For example, typing in "Anna Lee Chabot" (the current president of Meeting Professionals International) yields more than a dozen references in HotBot or AltaVista. It's also possible to target searches by date, title, domain, or by doing Boolean searches (also called comparison searches), which allow you to search on the basis of the relationships between search words using the qualifiers and, or, and not.
Cons: Robotic search engines often yield a huge number of responses in a seemingly random manner. For example, searching AltaVista for "meeting planning" with no filtering will produce more than 800,000 responses, including every Web site that has the words "meeting" or "planning" in its description.
How to use: Go to these sites, click on the "help" or "advanced search" buttons, and learn how to use the advanced search options specific to each site. HotBot is especially user-friendly in helping to narrow down a search.
3) Meta search sites scan all the popular search sites, typically checking eight or more simultaneously, then collating the results. Meta-Crawler (www.metacrawler.com) is great for quick, basic searches; ProFusion (www.designlab.ukans.edu/pro fusion) provides more customizing features.
Pros: These easy-to-use searches offer a fast look at what is available from many of the best search sites.
Cons: They do not have extensive filtering and search options (like robotic sites), so searches cannot be narrowed to the same degree.
How to use: These sites are best for searches that are neither broad nor narrow, such as finding information on "Seattle hotels." They also can provide a quick overview of what is out there on the Net.
4) Gateway sites, called "gateways" because of their multiple links to other related sites, are the best option for gathering industry-specific information. Those for the meeting and hospitality industries include the Meeting Industry Mall (www.mim.com); MeetingsNet (www. meetingsnet.com); and Meeting Professionals International's site (www.mpiweb. org). All offer numerous links to other sites that are useful for planning meetings.
Pros: These sites, created by people who know the industry, yield high-quality, industry-specific information.
Cons: None, except for limitations in individual site design.
How to use: Explore these sites, and check out their many links to other related sites. Start "bookmarking" useful sites, so you can return to them in the future.

I am so impressed.
Two of a Kind (Playing Cards) Save the Date Magnets I am loving my save a date magnets. What a beautiful way to start my wedding.
Looked Exactly as I Designed It
Two of a Kind (Playing Cards) Save the Date Magnets I am very happy with this purchase. I ordered a sample first, after reading reviews of how awful other magnets turned out from other companies, with people being unhappy about the cheap look or the magnet not sticking. I did not want to place an order for multiple magnets, and be unhappy with them. These looked exactly as they did in the design studio online. The quality of the print was excellent. I ordered mini size and they are thin, but the magnet works and sticks on the fridge and various other metal surfaces so I was very happy about that. No point in a magnet if it doesn't stick. They arrived in the exact time specified and included a few extra magnets over what I ordered which was a nice surprise. Everyone I have given them to so far thinks they are so cute and classy! I am very pleased.

Not quite as nice as I was hoping. I returned them because there was not a lot of filling in these pillows. Very thin and "whimpy". I don't know how other to describe them.
These are nice pillows, maybe a tad overpriced. They are only 17" squared, barely...not 18" as described.
Great small decorative pillows. They look exactly like leather and are very soft. They are not very fluffy or big and fit nicely on the chair or a bed. Wouldn't be good to sleep or nap on or even to prop yourself up on but work great to decorate.
Needed vinyl or leather throw pillows for a reasonable price. Overstock is the only site that offered them at a very reasonable price. Very pleased with the product.
I was very pleased with the size, design, color but not so much with the fullness of the pillow. I think it could have had more stuffing in it. One usually uses pillows to support their back or head and not just used for decoration and with so little stuffing it doesn't leave you with much support.
I enjoy shopping at Overstock.com. Lots of items to choose! I've purchased a bed and now pillows, can't wait to order more.. Best regards,
The "faux" red peeled of after minimal use! I'm extremely disappointed with this pillow! I bought the two pack of red and a two pack of black for my new black lesther couch. What a waste of my money!
i received these and they were looking nice i was happy you have to puff them up so it can look full but as soon as you lay on them or sit on them they flatten right out they look nice the smell is unbearable i got the black color ones i don't know about the others but this smell with intoxicate you and take over the whole room I've put them outside for 2 days and still no luck I've sprayed them with air freshener and nothing they're going back asap
ordered these in red and they are very pretty love them with other pillows i got from overstock on a choclate velvet sofa
I concur with other reviewer who said these fell apart. Initially i loved the look and then one started peeling apart at the edges now the other one. Less than few months old. No pillow fights here- just seemed to peel on own. Would not recommend.
