Individual Training
In some cases, more personalized attention is needed, either to help a particular creator grow or to help the creator with his or her particular project. This goal-oriented program has proven successful for many creators, and may be just the thing you or your project needs!
In these one-on-one, conference phone call sessions, you'll meet with your professional mentor and plan out a path to success to achieve your individual and specific goals. And your mentor is there to help all along the way, scheduling calls when needed. Many of our students tell us the calls are not only extremely helpful, but often inspiring as well. Our mentoring sessions are geared to teach you how to overcome obstacles all on your own—it's not our objective to keep you coming back forever. Like all good mentors, we hope to see you flying high all on your own!
Look at the details in the tabs below and you'll see that we've got just the mentor to help you through the comics industry landscape!
Email email@example.com to inquire about availability of our mentors.
If you're ready to sign up or have further questions, contact firstname.lastname@example.com, and we will begin the process—taking payment via PayPal and scheduling your first one-on-one call!

Andy founded Comics Experience based on the guiding principle of developing the kind of useful tools he himself wished existed when he was trying to break into the comics industry. This vision led to the creation of the mentorship program and it's one of the aspects of Comics Experience that Andy finds most rewarding. He has helped develop the careers of several working professionals as well as worked with long established pros who seek advice and problem-solving outside of the typical channels. Andy is an ideal mentor for anyone looking to achieve his or her comic book career dreams. Writers, artists, and editors welcome!
Nicole has been working hand in hand with creators since the late 90s and she is easily the most personable member of our staff (though we're all professional and kind). Intelligent, strategic, and caring, Nicole is an ideal mentor for anyone looking to grow his or her creativity and knowledge base about the comics art form and industry. Writers, artists, and editors welcome!
Mike has worked with both new and top talent within the industry. He came up in the industry with persistence and hard work. He started as an artist in school but quickly found he had the unique mix of skills for excellent editorial work. One of the most important skills for editorial work is the ability to relate to other people, to take their goals on as his ownand help them achieve those goals. Comics Experience is pleased to bring someone with Mike's experience to the mix. Mentoring with Mike is advised for writers, editors, and artists!
What's the best part of the Comics Experience Mentoring program?
It's the individualized attention. We're qualified to mentor on all aspects of comics creation—story, characterization, storytelling in art, perspective, etc. We also offer career guidance and planningstrategizing how to maximize your creative impact so that you can achieve your goals as quickly as possible, as well as more nuts and bolts things like how to find collaborators and so on. If it's in the comics realm—and youre at the point where you need individualized attention—this is the place for you!
Do I have to use all three hours at once?
Of course not. You have three, one-hour sessions to be scheduled at your pace. They do not expire—ever. We work with you on an individualized plan and schedule.
How does payment work?
Send us an email at firstname.lastname@example.com and we'll discuss if this is right for you and whom you should/could mentor with. Once we're all set and the mentor is confirmed as being able to take on a new client, we send you a PayPal money request for a three-hour block of mentoring. Simply pay that, and then we schedule your first appointment!
What if I can only afford three hours?
That's okay. We maximize what you've got to work with. If you can only do three sessions, then we'll hit the most important topics with you. Our goal is NOT to keep you coming back forever—it IS to get you up and running with confidence on your own so you won't feel the need to keep renewing.
Will you review scripts or art outside of the call?
Of course we will, if that's what's most useful. The time taken to do that does come out of the three hours allotted. We will talk with you to make sure that reviewing material is the best use of the time at that point, and we can tailor the level of review to maximize what you need out of it. For example, if you just want to know the broad strokes about a script or about your art—that it communicates clearly, is compelling and the characters feel real and are engaging, then we won't comment on the small stuff, and that will save more time for the calls. Or, if you really need someone to look over the whole thing to make sure it's ready for publication, we can do a deep dive that takes longer, but should catch just about everything. It all depends on the needs of the individual client.
What does it mean if Comics Experience can't accept me right now?
It means one of two things—we're either simply too booked up to take on a new client at all, or it means that we don't feel that we're the right fit for what you need. We have turned people away on occasion because what they want or need isn't something you get uniquely with us—in fact, weve often recommended a less expensive course of action if we know of one.
For further questions, email firstname.lastname@example.com.
It's as easy as 1-2-3 to get your comics career started! Literally—
1. Every mentorship must be approved via an email or phone conversation.* Please email us at firstname.lastname@example.com.
2. Once approved, Comics Experience will send you a PayPal invoice for the proper amount.
3. Once the invoice is paid (can be done in minutes). Your first session is scheduled!
All you need is a telephone! A conference call number will be provided so you are not charged for the call within in the United States.
Please note that all scheduling and communication emails go through Andy Schmidt.
*(Usually, any issue that comes up is due to scheduling, but on occasion, we get calls from people who are looking for a service we don't provide—so don't worry, we're not judging you—just making sure this is a good fit to mutual benefit.)
Paul Allor
Creator of Clockwork and Orc Girl, writer for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles from IDW Publishing
The Comics Experience mentoring sessions have been an invaluable resource to me, both artistically and professionally. I end every mentoring session armed with new plans, new ideas, and a better perspective on things. Im still at the beginning of my comics career, but I know that the progress Ive made is a direct result of the tools, insight and knowledge I've gained through Comics Experience.
Mark Behar
Owner, Cartoon Daydreams
I learned a great deal while working with Andy. He and his team of qualified experts own the expertise required to mentor aspiring creators. I cant overstate the importance of receiving direct guidance from those who have earned success in the industry. It aint easy, but the folks at Comics Experience can show you how its done.
Dave Castlenuovo
Creator of the hit video game and comic book Pocket God
Andy has been a huge help in refining my skills. Through a combination of written critiques and phone calls, he has helped me evaluate our beat sheets, scripts, thumbs and finished inks. The entire process has really helped me grow as a comic creator.
Sean McArdle
On becoming Platinum Studios 2007 Comic Book Challenge runner up
Jon and I both attribute much of our success to the refinement Comics Experience provided our pitch and first issue. Andy's guidance and direction helped us turn our first issue into a focused, coherent, well-polished narrative that is intriguing without being obtuse. He also aided us in distilling our original ponderous pitch into its essence. Thanks, Andy!
Keith Salmon
"I took Andy's consultation and found him very easy to relate to. We talked about breaking in with different types of publishers and I got to ask many questions about his experience as a professional editor, working with licensed properties, and producing his first creator-owned comic. The best part was how it was tailored specifically based on his questions about me. I plan to take another consult again in the future, after I have made some actual attempts at approaching editors. I feel much more confident. Thank you, Andy."
Michelle Therese
"These mentor sessions are fantastic! Nicole has been extremely helpful and I am beginning to venture out of my comfort zone and into the challenging territory I have always avoided due to lack of confidence in my ability as an aspiring writer. It might sound like a cheesy advertisement clip but whatever: Comics Experience is absolutely making my dream come true! I might not end up published any time soon but I am moving forward! How else do you achieve your dreams unless you move forward, right?"

The Wonders of Cusco, the Sacred Valley & Machu Picchu
Machu Picchu has a gravitational pull. So strong that Inca culture still influences people today. Some still practice the 600-year-old pottery techniques. Others, like you, are influenced from thousands of miles away. It urges you to hike the hills of Cusco at 11,000 feet above sea level, investigate the ruins of Sacsayhuamán, "Stonehenge of the Andes," make friends with the local schoolchildren who live in hidden weaving communities in undiscovered valleys, stand above it all at the summit of Montaña Machu Picchu and testify to the resilience of humanity. Theirs and yours.
We want to make sure you're on the right trip and that you have the best experience possible. Every Backroads trip is unique and this one is no exception.
Hiking the Inca TrailPermits to hike the Inca Trail are extremely limited. We recommend booking a minimum of 4 to 6 months prior to departure in order to significantly increase your chance of securing a permit.
Also, due to national park regulations and difficulty securing permits, your Backroads leaders may not be able to accompany you along the Inca Trail. Rest assured, you will always be well supported by our local Peruvian guide, who we've worked with for years, and a staff of porters.
Days 1-2 Extraordinary archaeological sites Explore Cusco, once the center of the pre-Columbian Inca Empire Visit Coricancha, a Spanish Colonial church built atop the ruins of an Inca temple Our local guide shares deep insight into Peru's culture and ancient civilizations as we journey through Puca Pucara, Q'enko, Temple of the Moon and Sacsayhuamán A long-time friend and Quechua shaman teaches us the meaning of his indigenous "Pago a la Tierra" ceremony Discover the superb collection at Cusco's Museum of Pre-Columbian Art and sip a pisco sour in the museum's historic courtyard.
Day 3 Walk amid the Inca salt pans' beautiful honeycomb of pools high above the Urubamba River Valley Alpaca sweaters, decorative gourds, appetizing smells and colorful characters fill Pisac's lively market Admire some of the finest Inca masonry at the Pisac ruins.
Day 4 Visit a weaving community tucked in the hills to experience authentic rural Andean life In peaceful Ollantaytambo, meet kids at the local school, climb the ruins of an Inca fortress and walk along the terraced valley Urubamba is a great place to shop for ceramics crafted using traditional Inca techniques at the internationally acclaimed Seminario Studio A culinary highlight is our exclusive Peruvian cuisine cooking class with Sol y Luna's chef.
Days 5-7 Machu Picchu, the incredible "Lost City of the Incas," replete with intricate stonework and mysterious religious designs Hike on the Inca Trail, lined with ancient stones and stairs, to reach the Gate of the Sun and your first unforgettable view of Machu Picchu Spend a second full day exploring the "Lost City" with a local expert who provides insight into this sacred site Got an intrepid streak? Summit Machu Picchu Mountain (with a special permit Backroads secures on your behalf) for a bird's-eye look at the ruins Explore the grounds of the Machu Picchu Pueblo Hotel with a local naturalist to learn more about the area's flora and fauna.

Guests Reviews About This Trip
I can't imagine visiting or experiencing Machu Picchu and the Andes any other way. This was PERFECT.- New York, NY
I had an amazing week. When thinking about the value of the trip, I could not have put together the number and range of activities for a single week on my own. Not even close. So really, it is like having three weeks of vacation seamlessly organized into a single week. All I had to do was show up. My favorite aspect of the trip is how the activities fit together like a story across the week as opposed to a random collection of activities. Wow.- Ventura, CA
Backroads delivered what they promised and more! Hiking among Inca ruins would have been enough. But the gorgeous flora and fauna of the Forest of the Clouds and beautiful accommodations made this hiking trip incredible. In addition, the fantastic leaders made the trip safe and fun, and the hiking itinerary was very well set up to prepare you for the most difficult (and important) hike to Machu Picchu. Thanks for a wonderful and memorable vacation!- Los Angeles, CA

Under UPC the laundry standpipe p-trap must be: 6" <= floor <= 18"
Q1: where is the measurement taken from w/ regard to the p-trap? In Peter Hemp's book it shows it as the connection point between the standpipe (above) and the p-trap (as opposed to the weir or dead bottom of the p-trap, to name to other obvious points of reference). Is Hemp's drawing correct?
Under UPC the laundry standpipe top must be: 18" <= p-trap <= 30"
Q2: is the aim of these two restrictions to end up with the standpipe at 36"? One interpretation would be that if the p-trap is 6" from floor, standpipe should be 30" from p-trap, and if p-trap is 18" from floor standpipe should be 18" from p-trap... this is NOT what the code says, but is that what it means to say?
OR to put it another way...
Q3+: what is the recommended height above the floor for the top of the standpipe? Should it be above the flood level of the washer (as I've seen mentioned in one resource)? Can it be "hidden" behind the machine (for aesthetics) or does it need/want to be above the machine?

Pros – Gained some experience after college.
Met some cool people.
Cons – Working with the ex-cons in the factory and the future ex-cons in management.
Performance Reviews were a joke if you ever got one.
Management was inept to handle changing environment.
Advice to Senior Management – Honestly I would start with training management on actually managing their employees. Recognize high performing employees in both factory and back office environment. Invest time on scalping employees from with in since it's tough to get good people to go to work in the South Bronx.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

The South Dakota Affiliate of Susan G. Komen® is moving its 2012 Race for the Cure to downtown Sioux Falls on September 30. Organizers believe the new location will enable more supporters from across the state to attend the event. The South Dakota affiliate's desire is to grow the race, because more money raised translates into better breast health and greater progress towards a cure for breast cancer.
"We are deeply grateful to the people of Vermillion for propelling the Komen Race for the Cure from infancy into a gathering of more than 4,000 participants," says Colette Abbott, founder and former race chair for the Susan G. Komen South Dakota Race for the Cure. "I've been amazed at the commitment of South Dakotans to raise more than $800,000 to fund breast cancer research and education since 2008. The impact of the Race for the Cure on breast health in our state is only poised to grow as the race moves to Sioux Falls and becomes a truly statewide race."
Seventy-five percent of the funds raised through the race will stay in South Dakota for breast health education, breast cancer screening, treatment programs and research to prevent, treat and cure breast cancer. The remaining 25 percent supports groundbreaking breast cancer research on a national level.
"Sanford Health is dedicated to diagnosing, treating and researching to find a cure for breast cancer – as the local leader in these areas it makes sense for us to support this amazing event," says Kay Santema, Vice President, Sanford Cancer.
Komen South Dakota is grateful for the local businesses that have made the race possible in the past and is inviting businesses from across the state to support this year's race.
"The race is about camaraderie. It's about survivors coming together and celebrating their victories and encouraging those who are in the midst of battling breast cancer," says Amanda Anderson, executive director of Komen South Dakota. "It's also about our children and the drive we have to find better treatments and a cure."
The tentative starting point for the race is the intersection of Phillips Ave. and 2nd Street. The 5K and one mile race routes will continue throughout the downtown area.
For more information about the race, please contact Amanda Anderson, executive director of Komen South Dakota, at 605.271.1751 or email@example.com, or Susie Patrick, this year's race chair, at email@example.com.

Thank you all again for your help.
What a great outcome, and for a somewhat-affordable price! (Very affordable compared to what the other approaches to fixing it would cost!) So happy we could help and that it all worked out!
I bought an older home about a year ago that has 2 case 3000 toilets. Needless to say I have spent some time researching (limited info) and replacing some parts, thanks to forums like this. I still have a few questions about these units though:
1) I have seen parts lists for these units, but is there any manual to describe how they should work (see below)?
2) What is the proper level (height) that the tank should fill to?
3) I notice (on at least 1 of the 2 toilets) that after a flush (even well after) trace amounts of water trickle from the bowl rim - the only way to see it is to put some paper around the rim and see it slowly moisten). Is this normal? What could be causing this? The plunger is making a good seal and I don't ever seem to ever hear water running.
4) On the same toilet, at the end of the tank fill, there seems to be air bubbles pushed out of the fill line for 2-3 seconds, then stops. Everything works ok, but this doesn't seem normal. Do I need a new fill valve assembly?
Sorry for all the questions - I'm still trying make sure these things are operating correctly without wasting any extra water (they are water hogs to begin with!)
Any additional help or information would be greatly appreciated.

I actually understand what a great gem I have in this toilet despite its age and difficulty with replacement parts. So much so that my bathroom needs some remodel. I just want to uninstall and reinstall this toilet. But I don't know how to start

Aerial view of Washington High School
in the late 1970's
To sites 10 and 11
10) St. Simeon Mirotocivi (114th and Avenue G)
Post World War II Serbian immigrants organized St. Simeon Mirotocivi Serbian Orthodox Church in 1964. They left St. Micheal Archangel Church during a brief schism in the Serbian Orthodox Church, which ended in 1992. The building is a reproduction of the 15th Century Serbian Monastery of Kalenich. The architects area Pavlecic, Kovacevic and Markovich and the style is the Morava school of Serbian Byzantine Architecture.
George Washington
High School (3535 East 114th Street)
As you drive west on 114th Street there is a definite contrast between various styles and eras of residential architecture. To the right are homes that were primarily built in the post WW II housing boom. There are single family residences, duplexes, and apartment dwellings. To the left are single family houses built in more recent years on land that was once mostly wetlands. In fact, there are numerous protected wetland sites on the outskirts of the area. Many of these wetland areas were filled in with slag from the surrounding mills. There are a variety of housing styles in the area of the East Side ranging from very modest to much more ornate styles. A brief detour along the route takes you to the home built by former Alderman Edward Vrdolyak at 115th and Avenue J.
Washington High School is architecturally significant because it is different from typical Chicago school buildings. It resembles suburban schools built at the same time. It was built at the same time as the suburban boom occurring in the United States in the 1950's. A recent rehab at the school has taken this historical significance into account. The cornerstone was laid in 1956 and the architectects are Perkins and Will, a well known Chicago firm. The school was formally dedicated on April 9, 1958. The first students, 72 in all, entered the high school in February 1957. Over 400 additional students transferred from Bowen High School in September 1957. The first graduating class was February 1960 when 50 students graduated. In June 1960 122 graduates received diplomas. The school was originally intended to serve students from the East Side and Hegewisch communities. These students formerly had to travel to Bowen High School or Chicago Vocational High School in South Chicago. In the aerial photo at the top of this page (view toward the east) one can see Washington High School and the surrounding area. To the south (right) are Rowan Park and the wetlands of the area, many of which have now been replaced with residences and a shopping mall. The trees at the top of the photo are part of Eggers Grove Forest Preserve.

They also hadn't seen Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood, the latest show from The Fred Rogers Company and kiddie-TV guru Angela C. Santomero (Blue's Clues, Super Why!). Inspired by the late, great Fred Rogers, it stars the animated offspring of characters from the iconic Mister Rogers' Neighborhood. This update picks up where Mr. Rogers left off — using research and child development learnings to inform each episode. Shows includes two eleven-minute segments that address a single social or emotional life lesson. The segments hang together with a memorable song that teaches kids how to manage that situation. The episode we watched dealt with disappointment, and our kids quickly adopted the refrain, "When something seems bad, turn it around and find something good." We can't help but think that this thoughtfully crafted television, with generous pacing that allows kids to absorb and process the story, may actually be good for our brood. After all: When something seems bad, turn it around and find something good. Find show times and more information at pbskids.org.Photo: Courtesy of Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood

A larger gauge on that cord would be a good idea, and there is no problem feeding it with 6 ga, just use the correct breaker.

A local news source reports 35-year-old Brett Allen has been charged with burglary and possession of stolen property in the July theft of more than 150 vases from Our Mother of Sorrows Cemetery in Reno.
Investigators say the recycling center called police to alert them they had purchased three vases from the suspect for $25 after learning of the cemetery thefts.
Cemetery operations manager Sophia Mitchell says the vases held flowers for the deceased, and most of the few vases that police were able to return to the cemetery were damaged.
The price of copper — the main component of bronze — is at a near record.

Bond kings chase returns in a low-interest-rate world
MARK RALSTON/AFP/Getty Images
A recovering housing market has yielding big returns for Southern California bond funds that have invested in risky assets.
Heather Perlberg and Pierre Paulden at Bloomberg have a good piece Wednesday about what I call Southern California's "bond triangle" - and its investment managers' relentless quest for returns when interest rates are at historic lows.
The major players in the story are PIMCO, the nearly $2 trillion fixed-income colossus based in Newport Beach; TCW, with $135 billion in assets under management and in the process of being taken over by the Carlyle Group, a big private-equity firm; and DoubleLine Capital, run by former TCW trader Jeff Gundlach and one of the fastest-growing financing startups in history, with more than $50 amassed in assets in three years. ( TCW and DoubleLine are based in L.A.)
Here's Perlberg and Paulden on how these firms' investment in a risky category of debt has paid off big time:

DA charges Atlanta officer in shootingATLANTA - An off-duty Atlanta police officer who shot a man at an apartment complex has been charged with aggravated assault, aggravated battery and false imprisonment. Fulton County District Attorney Paul Howard says the officer, Reginald Fisher, is charged in the shooting of Tremaine Miller on May 5 at a complex where Fisher was working at a security job. Fisher told investigators he tried to question Miller in a park known for drug sales and that Miller ran to his car. The officer told authorities he ordered Miller to put his hands in the air and thought Miller was reaching for a gun. Former Polk County jailer indicted ATLANTA - A federal grand jury has indicted a former sergeant at the Polk County jail on a felony charge of using excessive force against an inmate. The former jailer, 25-year-old Joshua David Lowe of Aragon is scheduled for an initial court appearance on Monday before U.S. Magistrate Judge Walter E. Johnson in Rome. The indictment handed down Thursday said Lowe was working as a detention officer when he allegedly used excessive force in striking an inmate at the jail. Lowe was terminated as a result of the incident. CDC: October soonest for swine flu shots ATLANTA - A U.S. health official said a swine flu vaccine could be available as early as October, but only if vaccine production and testing run smoothly this summer. Dr. Anne Schuchat of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said the agency began shipping virus samples to manufacturers in the past several days. The government will have to review the safety and effectiveness of what's produced, and decide if a vaccination campaign is warranted. October is about the time seasonal flu vaccine campaigns generally get rolling. CDC officials reported more than 8,500 probable and confirmed cases in the U.S., including 12 deaths and more than 500 hospitalizations. Higher fares in store for MARTA ATLANTA - MARTA is planning to hike fares, slash staff and cut its service. A key committee of the Atlanta transit system on Thursday approved raising MARTA's fare from $1.75 to $2. The committee also recommended raising parking fees, ending rail service at midnight and cutting more staff to fill a $110 million shortfall. The changes cannot take effect until the full board votes on June 22.

My inspiration comes from the shapes and textures of nature. The drape of a branch, the soft fuzz on a leaf overlaying the bumpy texture of a rock…
THEN, I revel in the colors of the recycled Sari yarns! I combine the two (nature and Darn Good Yarn's colors) to create whatever my imagination can see!
I get my inspiration from Crazy Pants (my 2 year old son). Whether its the combination of colors in his toy pile, the coat of a monster in one of his books, or the opening scene of "Meet the Robinsons", the fantastic, colorful, and unpredictable world of a child keeps my list of projects to try insanely long!
[...] This post was mentioned on Twitter by Meredith Martin, Evelyn Simpson Reeve, Jess, Cath Thorley, spin and others. spin said: RT @DarnGoodYarn: Win a $5 gift certificate to Darn Good #Yarn http://bit.ly/9N0PUD Please RT [...]
All sorts of places, mostly cool things I've seen on-line or in a book
or the actual feel of the material I'm working with.
My inspiration comes from my travels…the colors of sari and spices in India, the golden temples in Thailand, the blue waters off Palau, the lush greenery of Hawaii, the ancient paintings that still survive in Pompeii…I could go on forever. Travel is such an inspiration that I'll never stop jumping on that plane or boat or car or hot air balloon…
My inspiration comes from my family and my life. When I find a new fiber, I think of all the ways I could use it to make something new for our comfort.
I get my inspirations from many venues. Some have been from my friends in my knitting group, the Knotty Girls while others come partially from my wonderful yarn shops, (which were all recently featured in Spin Off magazine)and of course, magazines, books and the internet are loaded with terrific ideas. If I am really exhilarated, I might even come up with ideas from my own imagination. Those are the best!!
I get a lot of inspiration from the quilts that my friends and I make (I am a contemporary quilter and we use lots of crazy stuff in our quilts). I also get much of my inspiration from the fabric that I dye. I never know exactly what the fabric is going to look like when I dye it since I use 2 colors for each piece I dye and sometimes the combination comes out very different than I imagined it would be. I know my color wheel, so I never end up with mud, but I am sometimes astounded by what comes out of the jar (I use canning jars to dye my fabric). I am totally influenced by colors and textures when I quilt and when I knit. I am called The Thread Lady because my quilts are embellished with all kinds of thread, and I rarely use only one yarn when I knit. I love finding 2 or 3 yarns that I can combine to make a new yarn that just sings to me. I knit a lot of purses, because they satisfy my urge to knit without taking too much time away from my quilting. I know lots of people will say they are inspired by nature and other things around them, but for me it is all about color and combining yarns to make a new fiber.
I get my inspiration from two places; nature and my children. Montana really is the last best place and the scenery is amazing. Whether its golden wheat fields blowing in the wind while the big sky is shinning in the back ground or seeing Glacier from the East side with its Massive blue grey peaks turning into a bright green as it descends into aspen trees, the colors of nature always show up in my color combos while knitting. I just moved to Hawaii so I am so excited to use the bright tropical colors in my knitting. My children also inspire me because they bring a sense of excitement and most importantly practicability to the garments I create.
I get lots of inspiration from crochet flickr groups. If I need some idea to kick things into gear, I know browsing other people's work will usually do the job
I get my inspiration from the way I see what God has given me for that day. IF I feel it is a bright day, I can make all sorts of fun bright crochet items, but if it is a rainy day, I tend to use more darker yarns to crochet with, but I just love the way yarn feels when you have it so soft and it makes you feel so alive. You can almost tell what day I was having just by what I make.
For inspiration, I watch people in public places…I know…weird, huh? The thing is, though, you can see what they're wearing, how they're wearing it, and the colors chosen by diferent people from every walk of life. I imagine what they love to do in life, considering their ages and ethnicity, and then I think, think, think until lots of colors and the way something drapes sort of hits me. Next…I get to work! Case in point, I saw a woman wearing a beautiful capelet while at a a nearby popular resort in the Spring of 2009. It appeared to be made of cotton and silk, so I came home, mixed the two yarns and made one for my sister in her favorite colors, which is kind of a plum, purple combination, presented to her for her birthday, and she loves it! My sis is a beachy (not bitchy) gal who LOVES natural fibers. I hit pay dirt on that one! Okay…back to a park bench, or the mall, or the beach…
That's easy! I get my best crafting inspiration from my Hippie days! I grew up in the 60′s where we adorned ourselves with 'flowers in our hair', flowy garments pretending we were fairies, bright colors painting daisies, roses and peace symbols on our faces, even patches on our bell-bottom jeans in every color imaginable. And the attitude of peaceful rebellion in a creative sort of expression! Silk Sari yarns & ribbons remind me of my free spirit of those special years! Rose @}'-,–
So true!! In the 70′s, I was string crocheting lace edgings on everything I sewed! And on my jeans, too. I am kind of starting to do that again. So, in that way, I guess I too, get some of my inspiration from the "good old days" and from myself and my own tastes.
My inspiration comes equally from within and from others. I am usually surprised by where the inspiration comes from-a place where I least expect it. Sometimes something beautiful outdoors inspires me and other times my dirty, messy children inspire me. As my kids grow older my inspiration is actually turning into something concrete-i have a little extra time to make it into something tangible.

FJ 40 Rebuild, Gas Tank Relocation, and More!
To Cruise Again
Q After too many years parked because I broke Second gear (again) in the stock Toyota tranny and had no place to work on it, I now have a garage and some time. My '74 FJ40 has a 0.030-over 350 Chevy with a Centerforce dual-friction clutch tied to the stock Toyota transmission and transfer case. I'm at a point in time to reengineer the transmission, and I'm thinking that I would be better off going to the 700R4 for overdrive, but I'm not certain what transfer is my better option. An SM465 is also an option in the FJ40. What do I need to do for axles? Would the stock 4.10s (maybe upgraded to a locker!) work, or would I need to change them out due to pumpkin positioning? The Toy has a spring-over axle conversion right now, but with a new frame on rolling axlehousings in the shop and a set of 4-inch aftermarket lifted springs, I›m going to drop it back down a little for stability. Basically I'm aiming for a solid streetable wheeler, not a show rig.
Gerry B.
Graham, WA
A Advance Adapters (www.advanceadapters.com) can help you adapt a ton of different transmissions to your transfer case. On the GM automatic side, Advance has adapters for the TH350, TH400, 700R4, 4L60, and 4L80. On the manual side, the options are just as good with SM420, SM465, NV4500, and various other non-GM gearboxes.
I like the SM465. It is a strong transmission with a good low First gear and can easily be bolted to your V-8. The SM465 does sometimes wear out and begin popping out of Third, but a rebuild usually solves this.
I wouldn't get too caught up in the need for an overdrive. If you gear the axles right, run a big enough tire, and have a low First gear like in the SM465 for acceleration and/or off-road crawling, you can get away without an overdrive. You need to determine what rpm you want the engine to run at a certain speed, as this will help you determine what tire size, gear ratio, and transmission (overdrive or not) you need. The equation:
MPH x Final drive gear ratio x 336
Tire size
So at 70 mph with 4.10 gears and 35-inch tires, you'll be running approximately 2,755 rpm if your final transmission drive is 1 to 1. In an overdrive this will be lower, such as 0.80 to 1, so you'll need to multiply 4.10 by 0.80 to get the final gear ratio. Also, remember that many tires run smaller than their sidewall markings so you need to measure actual height.
Overdrive transmissions like the NV4500 and 700R4 are great, but they have their issues as well. The NV4500 is expensive, uses expensive gear oil, and is prone to Fifth gear failure if not addressed. The 700R4 isn't the strongest transmission either.
If it were me, I'd build it around an SM465 and 35s for good strength, simplicity, and low cost. I'd keep the stock axles and 4.10 gears and beef them up with aftermarket lockers and axleshafts as needed. I don't think those axles will be a problem unless you want to go huge on tire size.
Eventually you could even upgrade to the Orion low-geared transfer case from Advance Adapters for the Land Cruiser and make it even more capable.
2-Wheel & Off-Road?
Q I've been working on my '83 Dodge Ram D250 for about a year now. I'm 18 and this is my first truck. It is two-wheel drive, but I still plan to go wheeling in it. I know I'm going to get stuck, so I bought an old Ramsey winch from a neighbor and plan to put it on the truck. However, I can't find a winch bumper that will fit the winch or the truck, and I don›t have the shop to build my own. Do you have any suggestions on how to mount this?
Donald G.
Alexandria, LA
A Trail Ready Bumpers (www.trailready.com) has a base model front bumper for '89-'93 Dodges that they say will also work on your '83. The problem may be your winch. You didn't mention which model Ramsey you have, but if it is an old worm-drive RE series winch, mounting will be much more difficult. You may need to find a local fabrication shop to build you a custom winch mount.
Another option would be to get a removable winch mount that goes into your receiver hitch. This allows you to recover your vehicle rearward, back where you came from. Probably not a bad idea when you're driving a two-wheel drive.
Toys for Tires?
Q I have seen some big tires (38-40 inches and more) on Toyota axles. I am wondering how Toyota axles compare to, say, a Dana 44 or even a Dana 60. I know a Dana 60 is supposed to be the best all-around axle, but I don't have the cash required to build one up. Is a Toyota axle worth building up (and fabbing custom mounts, etc.), or should I look into a Dana 44 or something else?
Jonathan F.
Moorpark, CA
A Toyota straight axles are great in stock form and even better when you throw in the many aftermarket parts available for them. There are plenty of lockers, gear ratios, axleshafts, and heavy-duty Birfield joints to be had, but no matter what, I don't think they are much stronger than a comparably built Dana 44. In fact, a Toyota axle and a Dana 44 are pretty comparable in strength. I have seen them both survive with 38- to 40-inch tires, but I wouldn't recommend them for anything over 38s, even with all the high-zoot parts—and especially if you wheel hard. If you are dead set on 40-inch rubber then you probably want an axle running 35-spline or 11⁄2-inch axleshafts, such as a Dana 60 or a Corporate 14-bolt. You can also build Ford 9-inch axles to survive 40-inch tires, but they are better suited for smaller, lighter 4x4s like Jeeps and buggies.

Cool article.
I haven following this team for a long time, and I don't remember this type of national coverage. Seems to be a half dozen national articles a week.
We bitch a lot, but it's pretty incredible the news sources that are writing pieces about us, fluff or not.
When you're on top, everyone talks about you. You get to read things about ice skating hobbies growing up, grand parents who were coaching rivals, and how warm and fuzzy it is to live together, who cooks the best steaks etc..
when you're not #1, then none of those things matter.
The coverage has been amazing. I loved the big debate over what UA team was best ever on Fox Sports after the game. Just so happy to see our program finally get its due.
Thanks for posting - Cool part for me was York saying TJ makes the walk-ons look great...That's awesome

A very long flattering article. Very complimentary to the Wildcats in general, Nick and TJ in particular. This will probably be a lot more common in the future as Coach Miller, besides being one of the best coaches in the country, is also one of the best recruiters. He goes after the players who not only have the talent, but also the mind-set that makes a team a real team instead of a group of guys who play the game.
Bear Down Coach Miller!
Bear Down Wildcats!
Take it to Stanford!!
Eighth week at number one and as the football season draws to a close a lot of the nation is just starting to notice the Wildcats. Love all of the attention they're getting and the maturity they're demonstrating in the way they are handling themselves. Just like Louisville inspired a lot of non-Cardinals fans last year I think our Wildcats and their many backstories are picking up fans as they continue this incredible run.
Bear Down Wildcats and bring home this year's Championship trophy!

Magic Insider
8:10 PM PST, January 18, 2013
The NBA's Hot Stove League is heating up, but the trade winds mostly leave players cold. With the Feb. 21 deadline looming, it is an uncomfortable time of year.
J.J. Redick's name has been bandied about. You can't blame J.J. for wondering if he might need to buy a snow shovel and stock up on anti-freeze.
History shows the Magic have been active before a deadline. Here are their most notable transactions:
The Most Bizarre: The Magic retired the trophy for weirdness with this one. The club acquired Doug (and his wife, Jackie) Christie from Sacramento for Cuttino Mobley and Michael Bradley on Jan. 10, 2005. The Magic witnessed the over-the-top devotion between the Christies, but that was tame compared to what happened next.
After being benched, Christie curiously left the team and later underwent ankle surgery.
In a nutty news conference, Christie criticized then-GM John Weisbrod for not supporting his absence. His agent, Bradley Marshall, held up a bag of bone chips collected from Christie's surgery as grotesque proof that Christie was indeed injured, not insolent.
The Worst Deal By A Landslide: On Dec. 9, 2010, the Magic acquired wacky gun-toting Gilbert Arenas for Rashard Lewis — and are still paying for it. They amnestied Arenas in 2011 with, ouch, $62 million left on his contact.
Then-GM Otis Smith had a father-son relationship with Arenas, dating to their days at Golden State, where Otis first advised Gilbert not to buy sharks for his fish tank. Smith banked on Arenas recapturing his go-to reputation and help Dwight Howard contend.
Arenas showed only flashes of his free-lancing style, but his zany Agent Zero alter ego did not disappoint. He was served with child-support papers while heading to the dressing room at halftime of a game.
The Great Escape — Franchise moves Stevie Franchise: Dumping Steve Francis on bumbling Isiah Thomas and New York on Feb. 22, 2006, marked the highlight of Smith's tenure and remains the club's greatest heist.
The trade allowed the Magic to get out from under the $50 million they still owed Francis. He had been suspended by the team for not re-entering a game, the breaking point in his pattern of boorish behavior.
A Hollywood script writer couldn't have dreamt this scenario: They Magic not only received Trevor Ariza for Francis but also the expiring contract of one-time Orlando darling Penny Hardaway.
The Skip To My Lou Move: Desperate for a starting point guard after Jameer Nelson's shoulder injury, the Magic acquired Rafer Alston in a three-way trade with Houston on Feb. 19. 2009.
Alston was best known as a streetball legend in New York, nicknamed "Skip To My Lou" for his ankle-breaking moves.
The trade was savvy and risky, considering Alston's temperamental reputation. But Alston had played for Stan Van Gundy in Miami, and he helped the Magic reach the 2009 NBA Finals.
The Head Scratcher: Talk about chasing your tail. On the very day of the Arenas-Lewis deal, the underachieving Magic returned Hedo Turkoglu to Orlando in a trade with Phoenix after shipping him to Toronto --- 15 months earlier. Smith had deemed Turk too old and too expensive to re-sign.
Along with Turk, they acquired Jason Richardson and Earl Clark, sending Vince Carter, Mickael Pietrus and Marcin Gortat to the Suns.
The Magic had signed Turkoglu to a five-year $53-million contract and then traded him to the Raptors. The guy who Smith said was too old and too expensive is the oldest and highest-paid player on Orlando's roster (not counting Arenas).
Signing Nik quick
Rating the Magic's most desirable trade assets, I'd say Nik Vucevic has leaped to No. 1, clearly, over Redick.
The second-year center might be the league's best value at $1.7 million, and opposing coaches and players are raving about him.
For Orlando, he's untouchable — or should be, especially in a rebuild.
The Magic have lost two franchise centers, Shaq and Dwight. It took them eight years to replace Shaq, landing Dwight in 2004. Nik isn't in their superstar strata, but he'll be an anchor for a decade in a league void of quality bigs.
He'll still need to be surrounded by a free-agent star (or two) for the club to return to contention.
The Magic can extend Vucevic's contract after next season, his third in the league. It should be a slam-dunk, considering Nelson, Al Harrington and Big Baby Davis (if they are still here) come off the books after the 2014-15 season.
Vucevic easily would be a $10-million-a-year player on the open market.
A Kobe hoax?
Lakers star Kobe Bryant says he beat former Magic SG Tracy McGrady three straight games of one-on-one while the two were on a promotional tour in Germany years ago.
Apparently, Kobe told Manti Te'o the story and not ESPN because T-Mac said it's all a lie. McGrady says he and Kobe were never in Germany together.
"I played T-Mac. I cooked him. Roasted him. Wasn't even close. Ask him, he'll tell you," Bryant said. "When I was about 20, we were in Germany doing some promotional stuff for that other sneaker company, and we played basketball every day.
"We were in the gym all the time. We played three games of one-on-one to 11. I won all three games. One game I won 11-2. After the third game he said he had back spasms and couldn't play anymore."
Upon hearing the story, T-Mac tweeted, "That's far from the truth. No one in the NBA is playing 1 on 1. Me and KB never went to Germany together either."

I remember the day when the goverment crushed all their old ww2 and vietnam jeeps and other viehicals,,,,,, because dam,,,,we dont want to compete with US auto makers. It was a huge waste of money then ,,,,and it is no different today.
At least back then we didit sell it to our enemies.
It makes me feel safe when our enemies make computer chips for our military aircraft.
This kind of horshit is so ingraned and spiderwebbed through american politics there is nothing left to do but get more tangled up.
I don't know the background story but this morning on MSNBC's financial report they said it will be highly unlikely that GM and Chrysler will repay the bailout money.
I also read that many dealerships will go bankrupt waiting for the gooberment to reimburse them.
Once again this illustrates that we are stepping over dollars to pick up dimes.
"Communism only works in Heaven, where they don't need it, and in Hell, where they already have it" Ronald Reagan
Second, now the CFC is over, dealerships all across the coutry are in a major sales slump again as buyers have learned to buy only when there are substantial discounts.
The Libertarian Party believes that all persons are entitled to keep the fruits of their labor. A call for the repeal of the income tax, abolishment of the Internal Revenue Service and all federal programs and services not required under the U.S. Constitution. We support the passage of a "Balanced Budget Amendment" to the U.S. Constitution, provided that the budget is balanced exclusively by cutting expenditures, and not by raising taxes. LP.org
The American way, deficit spending.
I'm sure that because my tax dollars went to pay for others cars, that because I could not use the program they will send me my $4500 just like all the folks that went in and used the program got.
Unfortunately, because I think ahead, don't get in over my head debt-wise I get screwed.
That's what makes Obama's speech yesterday stupid. He "preaches" do better for yourself, stay in school and take responsibility.....but the reality is, if you do that, then you get to pay for all the lazy-ass people who don't want to work, got in over their head debt-wise and can't or won't take responsibility for their own actions.

Women's Golf Coaches
|1st Season
|Arkansas '06
|(239) 590-7003
|Follow @FGCUCoachTrew
Sarah Trew begins her third season as the FGCU women's golf coach in 2013-14.
In her second season in 2012-13, Trew's Eagles finished with their best-ever showing at the Atlantic Sun Championship, coming in third. Trew coached Georgia Price, who earned a spot on the A-Sun All-Conference Second Team. Additionally, five Eagles garnered WGCA All-American Scholar honors with minimum GPAs of 3.5.
In her first season at the helm in 2011-12, Trew led FGCU to eight Top 10 finishes including four inside the Top 5. The Green and Blue recorded their best finish under her direction at the 36-hole NIU Snowbird Classic (Mar. 15-16), where they took third place in the field of 11, and also posted a trio of fourth place finishes throughout the year. The Eagles wrapped up the year with a seventh place finish at the 2012 Atlantic Sun Conference Championship, as freshman Chelsea Guoynes took 14th on the individual leaderboard.
Competing with a four-member team for the majority of the season, Trew managed to place an individual in the Top 15 in eight of the 10 competitions on the year. The Eagles finished the season with 14 Top 20, seven Top 10 and five Top 5 individual finishes, highlighted by a runner-up finish by senior Fabienne Haremza at the Holiday Inn Express/Hatter Classic (Nov. 7-8) to conclude the fall campaign.
Florida Gulf Coast University Director of Athletics Ken Kavanagh announced the hiring of University of Kansas assistant coach Sarah Trew as the new head women's golf coach on Thursday, June 16, 2011.
Trew took over the reins of the FGCU program following five seasons as an assistant coach at the University of Kansas. With the Jayhawks, Trew assisted with producing four team tournament championships and a program-best fifth-place finish at the 2009 Big 12 Conference Championship.
"We are excited to have Sarah joining our Eagles' athletics family," said Kavanagh. "With her extended tenure within the prestigious Big 12 Conference, she brings a strong background of success as a coach. In particular, we feel confident that she possesses the overall ingredients necessary to maximize the capabilities of our student-athletes both on the golf course and in the classroom.
"In turn, we look forward to her providing energized daily leadership to our student-athletes and continuing our ascension within the upper echelon of the Atlantic Sun Conference, in our pursuit of the conference championship and beyond."
"I am both honored and grateful for the opportunity to be a part of a quality athletics department such as FGCU," said Trew. "There is unlimited potential for the women's golf program and I am eager to start a tradition of excellence."
Trew also assisted in coaching four individual tournament champions at KU, highlighted by 2007 Big 12 Conference champ Amanda Costner, who was the first individual Big 12 champion in school history. Coster was also named the Big 12 Sports Person of the Year and began a string of three straight years that a Jayhawk earned first team All-Conference status.
Emphasizing the importance of academics, the team produced four KU Academic All-Americans and six Academic All-Big 12 selections under her assistance. Additionally, the program received the highest team grade-point average (GPA) in the KU Athletic Department for six semesters, highlighted by a spring 2010 GPA of 3.62, which is the highest in Kansas Athletics history.
A 2006 graduate of the University of Arkansas with a double major in criminal justice and sociology, Trew was a three-year letterwinner for the Razorbacks and a SEC Academic Honor Roll recipient from 2003-06. During her tenure in Fayetteville, Trew was instrumental in developing the program into a top-10 power while helping the team to its first-ever NCAA Championship appearance in 2005. In 2006, the Razborbacks returned to the NCAA Championship, finishing 10th overall after the four-round tournament in Columbus, Ohio. Trew currently holds the 14th-lowest career stroke average in Arkansas' women's golf history.
Prior to becoming a member of the Razorbacks, Trew competed at the University of Georgia from 2002-03 where she played one season for the Bulldogs and redshirted another. While at Georgia, she was a Dean's List honoree in 2002 and named to the SEC Academic Honor Roll from 2002-03.
Following graduation, Trew turned professional in July 2006 and competed in select events. Trew was a qualifier for the 2006 and 2007 finals of the Re-Max World Long Drive Challenge, finishing 11th in 2006 and earning a district championship with a 325-yard drive.
Trew inherits an FGCU team that is coming off a third-place finish at the Atlantic Sun Championships, the highest in program history. The Eagles return three players that were a part of the run at the conference championship, including top-5 finishers senior Fabienne Haremza and junior Briana Carlson.
"In my opinion, Florida Gulf Coast has one of the best young up and coming coaches in Sarah Trew. I have had the pleasure to watch Sarah grow from a top junior golfer in the state of Georgia, to coaching her in college at Arkansas, and then seeing her mature into a great assistant coach at Kansas. In each phase she earned the respect of her peers through loyalty and hard work. Florida Gulf Coast women's golf is in great hands with Sarah." – Kelley Hester, University of Georgia Head Women's Golf Coach
"We are sad to see Sarah leave but this is a great opportunity for her. She has been an asset to our team and we wish her all the best." – Erin O'Neil, Kansas University Head Women's Golf Coach
"The hiring of Sarah will add value to the FGCU program as well as the competition within the state. She will be a tireless recruiter as the state has so many talented golfers and recruiting opportunities. Sarah has a passion for the game and she has an even bigger passion for seeing the people she is around be better individuals. I wish her much success as she takes this step in her coaching career. There is no doubt she will do great things at FGCU." – Marci Kornegay, University of South Florida Head Women's Golf Coach
