Logan Mankins told reporters Tuesday that he isn't sure he wants to remain a member of the Patriots if the 2011 NFL season takes place.
"I've thought about that," Mankins said when asked if he wants to stay in New England. "I don't know. I'm not going to put any answers on that right now, I'll wait until there is a season in progress before I decide."
The Patriots placed the franchise tag on Mankins in February, following a 2010 season that saw the All-Pro guard miss the first seven games before signing a RFA tender for $1.54 million.
It is possible -- though most feel not probable -- that the eventual collective bargaining agreement would contain no franchise tags. Mankins was asked for his thoughts on that possibility.
"Well, that would be nice, because I've heard there's this thing in football called free agency," said Mankins. "It's been two years now and I haven't seen it. Maybe one of these days I could actually experience it."

A voter-approved marijuana legalization amendment in Colorado was declared part of the state constitution Monday by Gov. John Hickenlooper.
Hickenlooper's declaration, a procedural step, means that marijuana is effectively legal for recreational use in Colorado. The drug became legal in Washington state last week.
Hickenlooper tweeted his declaration and announced it to reporters by email. The Democratic governor said voters were "loud on clear" when they voted last month to make pot legal without a doctor's recommendation. Adults over 21 may now possess up to an ounce of marijuana, or six plants.
Colorado and Washington officials both have asked the U.S. Department of Justice for guidance on the laws that conflict with federal drug law. Neither state will allow commercial sales for a year or more.

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (AP) -- Arkansas athletic director Jeff Long says interim football coach John L. Smith will not return next season.
Long says in a statement released by the university that he met with Smith on Saturday, a day after the Razorbacks' season-ending 20-13 loss to LSU, and told him the school "would be making a change in leadership within our program."
Smith was hired in April to replace the fired Bobby Petrino and signed to a 10-month contract. Long says that once a new coach is hired Smith will be reassigned as a consultant through the end of his contract on Feb. 23, 2013.
Arkansas (4-8, 2-6 Southeastern Conference) began the season ranked in the top 10 but quickly fell out of the polls after a stunning loss to Louisianan-Monroe on Sept. 8.

A bit of good news for the economy of Downeast Maine: A manufacturer of torrefied wood pellets says its new Eastport production plant could end up employing as many as 75 people. Thermogen Industries, a subsidiary of New Hampshire-based Cate Street Capital, announed plans this morning to build the $120 million facility next to the city's port. The project will allow the company to easily ship its fuel products to the European market and - local officials hope - attract more business to the area. Jay Field reports.
Eastport has the deepest natural seaport in the continental U.S. Two years ago, the city's port authority began work on a $6.5 million expansion in a bid to attract more businesses like Thermogen. Chris Gardner runs the Eastport Port Authority.
"Thermogen will be able to link its production facilities into our already existing loading facility, and be able to load directly from their facility into any outbound vessels," Gardner says.
Thermogen is a subsidiary of New Hampshire-based Cate Street Capital, which also owns the new Great Northern Paper Co. in East Millinocket. A little over a year ago, Cate Street purchased exclusive rights in North America to manufacture torrefield wood - or biocoal - using microwave technology.
Scott Tranchmontagne, Thermogen's spokesman, says Eastport is relatively close to its source of raw materials, "biomass materials that we would use to make the torrefied wood pellets," he says. "You know, the market for our product right now is coal-fired power plants overseas. Being so close to the Eastport port, literally a stone's throw away, is ideal."
Thermogen is already converting the old paper mill in Millinocket into a biocoal plant. The company has signed a 20-year lease with the Eastport Port Authority and hopes to begin construction in 2014. Plans call for a facility that could produce 200,000 to 300,000 tons of biocoal a year.
The company expects to hire 75 people at the plant. John Southern, Eastport's city manager, says the project will benefit the entire region.
"This is obviously going to create more jobs than are needed in Eastport. So it will bring young, working people into Eastport and create jobs for the whole surrounding area," Southern says. "And you'll obviously see some ripple effect from that in the creation of other supporting businesses."
An advisor to Gov. Paul LePage introduced officials at Thermogen to members of Eastport's port authority. Maine Sen. Susan Collins helped secure some of the funding that paid for the port upgrades that helped make the deal a reality.

May 2, 2016
A change will take place at the Vidant Medical Center coffee shop.
The Service League, which leases the shop from Vidant Medical Center in Greenville, had a contract with Food Masters to run the shop.
The attorney for the Service League says the league has decided to go with a different company. He said this was solely a league decision and was not determined by the hospital.
Employees at the shop say the news took them by surprise and that they have been told their last day is June 30.
There is no word on the name of the new company that will run the shop.
The Service League has donated millions of dollars to Vidant Medical Center and Children's Miracle Network Hospitals.

Comments On May 28, 2013:bought a set of tag sprockets when my usual brand was out of stock, and what a great purchase. I use a DID gold race chain and clean it every ride or two. I can get a whole season of racing and riding approx. 80-90hrs. great product!

Comments On Oct 29, 2011:I have used other brands in the past and after using TAG sprockets on a 2006 YZ125, 2009 CRF250R, and a KTM 150XC for motocross, hare scrambles, and trailriding, I have found TAG aluminum sprockets to be the best.
Additional Comments On Oct 29, 2011:I like the truss design and the closed ring at the sprocket bolt/hub area(some brands are open) and I found them to be lightweight and strong. The square tooth design and offset left/right self-cleaning grooves provides good chain contact support without friction, slop, or noise in sand, mud, loam, or hardpack while keeping clean. The anodized titanium gold finish lasts and has a trick factory look at a privateer price.

The Pole Position Club
|Grand Theft Auto: Vice City
|The Pole Position Club
|Tommy Vercetti
|Type of Business:
|Strip Club
|Ocean Beach, Vice City
The Pole Position Club is a strip club located in Ocean Beach, Vice City that features in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City.
The Pole Position Club is effectively the only strip club in the city accessible to the player. The club is first introduced during "The Party" when the player escorts Mercedes Cortez to the club. Following "Shakedown", the club may be purchased by the player for $30,000, becoming one of the their business assets.
In addition to open stages, the Pole Position offers backroom dances by a stripper, which the player may pay by the minute; $5 every 5 game minutes (5 seconds, real-time) to watch. By spending a total of $300 on the dances, the player will complete the club's asset mission, allowing the club to earn the player $4,000 a day; the stockier backroom stripper seen in the original round of dancing is also replaced by a slimmer, more scantly-clad counterpart.
Once the club's asset mission is completed, another backroom of the club is opened. Upon entering this room, a cutscene is activated showing a more animated stripper dressed in a cowgirl outfit stripping for Tommy. Before this room is unlocked, the room is closed, with a sign reading "No Entry - Management Only" posted on the door. The stripper in this room is rumored to be one of The Twins mentioned in the game's manual. The other is a bartender in Malibu Club after that asset is bought.
During Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, the followings songs can be heard playing inside the club:
- Animotion - "Obsession" (featured on Wave 103)
- Mary Jane Girls - "All Night Long" (featured on Fever 105)
- Teena Marie - "Behind the Groove" (featured on Fever 105)
- Zapp & Roger - "More Bounce to the Ounce" (only heard during the private strip tease cutscene) (featured on Wildstyle)
- The name is a reference to the retro racing game of the same name.
- Note the patrons, the two bikers and the taxi driver in a blue suit who are not seen anywhere else in the city.
- The Pole Position serves as a front for the Vercetti Gang's prostitution business.
- The Pole Position Club still exists In Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories.
- In Grand Theft Auto V, the Pole Position Club still exists, as it has a Bleeter account.

When he got the message that the Ballou High
School marching band had been selected for the
Inaugural Parade, director Darrell Watson was
floored - more than figuratively.
Andrew Mollenbeck, wtop.com
WASHINGTON – When he got the message that the Ballou Senior High School marching band had been selected for the inaugural parade, director Darrell Watson was floored – more than figuratively.
"Thank goodness that wall was behind me because I backed up into it, and I basically just slid down the wall until I was sitting down on the floor, and tears started flowing down my eyes," Watson says.
Through the years, the Majestic Marching Knights have performed in the Tournament of Roses Parade in Pasadena, Calif., the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York and on several television shows.
But the 57th inauguration carries a special meaning to the bandleader, the students and the community in general.
"This is a celebration in two [ways]," says Watson.
"We're honoring the re-election of our president, as well as paying tribute to a man who paved the way for our president," he says.
"It doesn't get any [more] perfect than that."
Adding symbolism to the band's role in the parade, the Knights will follow a float honoring Martin Luther King, Jr.
"I'm really excited. I have a lot of emotions in me right now. I just can't wait until it happens," says Genuine Kinsey, a senior drum major.
"It's the inauguration, but I'm still not nervous about it," says Danae Giles, a junior dancer.
"It just gets me more excited because I know the president's watching us," she says.
On Tuesday, Mayor Vince Gray stopped by the high school in Southeast to both congratulate the band members and reinforce the potential they have for changing attitudes.
"There are a lot of people who think when you come to Southeast all you're going to find is bad stuff," he says.
"That is not true!"
In addition to the band's accomplishments, Gray highlighted students' achievements in earning academic scholarships.
"You all are an inspiration," Gray told the students. "What you have done is absolutely fantastic."
To his knowledge, about 3,000 groups initially filed an application to participate in the parade. And with fewer entries to usher in President Barack Obama's second term, Gray considers the selection to be a more impressive honor.
Watson stresses the journey.
"I always tell my students, 'We're not the best,'" he says.
"'But, oh, what a wonderful road we travel on to get there."

California education chief assails "intelligent design"
Speaking at the Los Angeles Natural History Museum on September 28, 2005, State Superintendent of Public Instruction Jack O'Connell declared that "intelligent design" was unwelcome in California's public school science classes. "The introduction of intelligent design theory in natural science courses would be a blow to the integrity of education in California," O'Connell said. "Our state has been recognized across the country and around the world for the quality and rigor of our academic standards.

Song Stage Illinois| Friday, 7:00 P.M.
Inaugural Season Premieres April 22nd on WEIU at 7:00pm (WEIU TV will broadcast 2 episodes for the next four Friday evenings, so tune in at 7pm and 7:30pm to see the entire season on 4/22, 4/29, 5/6, and 5/13) 1st Episode features two independent singer/songwriters from Illinois; Erin Jo from Whitehall, IL and Michael Downing from Chicago, IL 2nd Episode features artist Margaret Bianchetta from St. Louis Metro area and Kenny Jamison from Bethalto, IL Troy, IL - April 8,2016: The television music competition series Song Stage Illinois begins its inaugural season this April on local PBS stations throughout Illinois and Missouri. Produced by Manniversary Media and sponsored by Oasis Homes USA Song Stage provides viewers and music lovers an opportunity to experience true original music performed by the artists who wrote it. Song Stage Illinois airs weekly in 30 minute episodes for 6 weeks with a full hour finale in week 7. Fans can visit www.songstage.tv for more information on the show and the artists of Season One. Also at facebook.com/songstage and #sharethestage. Song Stage, Illinois, puts a different twist on typical vocal competition programs like ?American Idol? and ?The Voice.? By placing two undiscovered singer/songwriters toe to toe for the chance to be crowned champion, the artists have one shot to deliver their best performance AND their best original song if they want to win.After reviewing hundreds of submissions throughout Illinois, only 8 were selected to compete. Once chosen, the match ups were kept secret. Leading up to their performance, the artists do not know who, or even what style of music they will be competing against. Each episode takes the artist and the viewer through a musical journey. To start, the artist chooses one original song that will be performed in front of a live audience. Before they are ready to take the stage, their songs are professionally polished in the studio with the help of music coach Roy Wells. Not only is the viewer able to experience the musical process but they are also a part of the story behind the music, through background vignettes and interviews. Once on stage, the battle begins. And who wins? Well, that depends entirely on the live audience vote. After watching both performances the live audience, through a real-time text to vote, selects which artist, and which song, they think was best. The votes are tallied, the winner is announced, and the artist advances to the next round.

Rob Calhoun - Radio Production Supervisor
When Did You Start at WEIU? September 2004 (part-time); October 2006 (full-time)
What Does WEIU Mean to You? WEIU is unique because it offers a variety of things that are different from other stations. We have great local programming that features people in our community. I think community involvement is very important. Our commitment to the local programming is vital to our continued success.
Favorite Show on WEIU-TV: EIU Panther sports broadcasts. Is it wrong to say that since I am on the EIU women's basketball broadcasts? I also enjoy News Watch.
What have you learned while working at WEIU? That we have some of the greatest and hardest working students around. Their dedication to the station astounds me every day I come to work. They are very passionate about what they do and it shows in their work.
Why should someone become a member of WEIU? It is very important to support your local station. With state and federal funding being cut, it becomes more difficult to provide programming. With the help of our members, we can continue to grow and give them great, family-friendly choices.
Is WEIU as important to you as it is to Rob? Become a member today! Also, send us a message and let us know what WEIU means to you!
We love to hear from you!
I support WEIU because I know that at any time, day or night we can tune in and we can count on good, quality entertainment and good wholesome programming made available to us. WEIU is what I consider to be a family friendly television station because I know that if my children or grandchildren are visiting and they enter the room where I'm watching TV, I don't have to worry about anything inappropriate being on my TV screen. I know that I can trust WEIU and I love that!

Hello. Been on a huge kick with studying many many many things. As far as reading some classic novels to watching new documentaries and de-classified documents. Basically I was hoping someone in this tiny forum could help share some good books,documents, and/or documentaries on society and human thinking patterns that are very interesting, the universe (anything in general would be great, I really love this topic) , ancient structures/architect (such as the pyramids and many others that have been built in ways thousands of years ago that we have difficulty doing with our technology), evolution theories, global warming/anti global warming theories, earth crust displacement theories. What I have to offer since no one has asked about anything are these suggestions below. Don't be afraid to ask if I or anyone else has found a reliable source or something of interest that you haven't been able to get your hands on. Heck if anything of your interest that is great educational material or is an interesting theory or phenomenon just post it here and I will probably look at it at least .
Ancient Societies and Architect:
Zero point volume 1-3. Should be on youtube
Graham Hancock Quest for the lost civilization- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-yz1DfTF3-E
Fingerprints of the gods by Graham Hancock (Really any book by him is interesting, very great author)
Carl Munck- The Code: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xw9lTB0hTNU
Basically just go to alex jone's youtube channel and you can find anything you are interested in. Although he is a tool in some ways and makes everything sound like a crazy conspiracy with the way he presents things. Nevertheless still some great information on their about our current day society.
Joe Rogan has a pretty interesting podcast and other clips on youtube as well. He discusses a large variety of things too.
Their are a few satires on society I have read recently like 1984 by George Orwell and feed by M.T Anderson. Hoping someone else knows of a few books similar to these.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q1LCVknKUJ4 : Sylvester James Gates and his intersting work with string theory that finds the equations that describe the cosmos are computer code. Just a 10 minute clip thats worth a look.
Michio Kaku does a number of interesting things in Physics currently and has a number of presentations that are amazing. The next hawking/einstein imo.
Their is also a series that has a few seasons called the universe which should be on youtube as well.
http://www.simulation-argument.com/simulation.html : Simulated universe theory/argument in full text. Pretty scary thought. Watch the first youtube link in the universe section before looking into it to get feel before getting slapped by a giant wall of text you may not be interested in.
Evolution theories:
Lloyd Pye- Everything you know is wrong. Pretty great suggestion that we aren't directly evolved from another species. Interesting presentation in general.
Global Warming:
Basically I can't find a way to say if its a hoax or true really. I have looked at both sides of the argument from many perspectives and really can't get a good answer with all the rebuddling.

I've started work on a library, this'll be used on maptool, so it has no grid built into it. I've been using the random rotate script (thanks RobA!) for a lot of the little parts, like how the chairs are arranged.
Since I knew I wanted my bookcases to be brown, I really didn't want to use a brown wood floor, so I used this kinda grayish one. Not sure I like it. I'm considering looking into more of a carpeted texture, but this will be used in a game with a medieval setting, and I'm not really sure how commonplace carpeting was.
I don't really like the bookcases, they're on their own layer right now called "stacks" so I can easily delete just them and replace them with something else, but I'm not finding any top-down bookcases that I like so I may have to just live with them.
There's a trapdoor under the table in the top-right conference room that leads to the basement of the library, where they keep the secure books that nobody is supposed to know about or read. I haven't made that level yet, when I do I'll post it in here.
I've tried to be really good about keeping everything in layers so I can edit single parts without trashing the whole image, so feel free to criticize any part of it. I have a gimp .xcf version that saves the layers that right now is exactly the same as this exported .png, so I can edit it.
Also, doors will be placed in maptool so I can edit them in-game.

Don't Forget!! Rate a Tutorial Today; Add a TAG to a thread today; CLICK on a GOOGLE ADLINK once today!
Okay, here's what I'm attempting to do, and I need suggestions.
I've created a bookshelf in two parts - one part for the base, another part for the top. Then I've created some simple book images, I'm planning to scale them to slightly different sizes and place them at slightly different depths over the base of the shelf, then pull the top of the shelf over it so that mostly only the spines show, maybe a little pages. I'm hoping through doing this to create an image of books on the shelves.
I'm trying to think of a way to make the books look better. Right now they're just stock one color spine, white interior. I can't get fine enough lines on the inside to really look like pages... I think I need some kind of texture or noise, but can't think of what.
I'm attaching the shelf images and the stock book image to see what I'm talking about, any suggestions on how to make the books look more real would be appreciated.
often the top shelves of bookcases are open for oversized items and non traditional books. I would suggest a smattering of different sized books, some scrolls, stacks of bound loose papers, and different bookends as well. I like where this is going
Something witty and pithy
It occurred to me that I have a digital camera and some green construction paper, so I grabbed some books off the shelf and placed them over the paper, then turned the green transparent (had to hand-touch up a few things because one of the covers was green... whoops!)
I didn't work through the entire shelf, but how does this look to others?
Three different bookcases, can't decide which I like best.
I recently just had a run in with some bookshelves for a map I was working on for my game. I came to the conclusion that bookshelves are only really interesting from the side. My solution? just place books/scrolls randomly "on top of the book shelf". It isn't very accurate in terms of how they actually work, but it makes it 1) clear what they are and 2) interesting to look at.
Those look like they might be from the Dundjinni's forums (I love that place too!) Try searching for "book" or "bookshelf" or "bookshelves". I found some ones I liked over there.
On carpet: I think most older libraries had patterned marble floors. Think Indian Jones and the Last Crusade. "'X' marks the spot..."
The City of Fogdown - My Pathfinder/D&D Campaign
RedRobe's Forum Keyword Index
The middle set of bookshelves are from the dundjinni forums, the outer two I made myself... the books are actually digital photos of books I own. You may be right about just putting stuff on top and leaving it at that...

Tempe, AZ (Sports Network) - Taylor Kelly completed 19-of-26 passes for a
career-high 326 yards and three touchdowns to push the Arizona State Sun Devils
to a 37-7 victory over the Utah Utes in Pac-12 Conference action at Sun Devil
Rashad Ross tallied 87 yards and a touchdown on five catches for Arizona State
(3-1, 1-0 Pac-12) as it bounced back from last week's loss to Missouri. D.J.
Foster gained 70 yards on 10 carries while Jamal Miles produced 104 all-purpose
yards in the winning effort.
Utah (2-2, 0-1) struggled offensively throughout the game. Jon Hays completed
10-of-15 passes for 117 yards with a touchdown and interception, Kelvin York
rushed the ball 13 times for 86 yards, and Karl Williams caught five passes for
49 yards and the team's only score. The road loss was the second in as many
games away from home for the Utes.
The Sun Devils began their domination in the first quarter, just over four
minutes after kickoff, as Kelly completed a 38-yard strike to Ross for a
score. Cameron Marshall added onto the lead with seven minutes remaining by
plunging into the end zone on a one-yard run to punctuate a seven-play, 59-yard
drive. After ASU recovered a fumble, Kelly connected with Marion Grice for a
10-yard touchdown pass which put the Sun Devils up 21-0 in the opening period.
Utah ended the run with 13:29 left to play in the first half by producing an
11-play, 91-yard scoring drive which was finished off by a two-yard pass from

09:20 11 May 2012
A rare camera worth £130,000 was stolen from a film crew in East Ham while they were shooting a music video.
Detectives from Newham police are looking for witnesses who saw the theft and assault involving members of a film crew.
They had finished filming the video in White Horse Road at the junction with High Street South at around 4.20pm on Thursday March 29.
As they started loading their equipment into the back of their van, Suspect A approached the crew and ran off with the camera.
One of only three or four of its kind in the UK, the camera is a very rare ARRI Alexa Studio Camera with an estimated value of approximately £130,000.
A 33 year-old member of the recording crew started chasing Suspect A towards Vicarage Road.
As he caught up with Suspect A, he was punched in the face. Suspect B then approached the victim preventing him pursuing Suspect A any further.
Shortly afterwards, both Suspects made off in a red-coloured vehicle towards High Street South.
Suspect A is described as a slim build, black male, aged 20 to 25-years-old, and 5'11" tall with short black hair and he was wearing a brown jacket and blue jeans.
Suspect B is described as a stocky build, black male, aged 25-29 years old, and 5'11" tall with short black hair and he was wearing a black jacket and black jogging bottoms.
Officers are now appealing for anyone with any information about the incident to contact Newham Violent Crime Unit 0207 275 5711 or to remain anonymous call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

1933 Ford CoupeWritten by Thom Taylor on July 12, 2013 Contributors: Hot Rod Archives Changing Trends, Changing Lives
It's weird how the wheels of hot rodding can turn in ways that change lives and create new trends. As HOT ROD looks back at 65 years of the hobby, it's clear there are some cars that have altered its landscape. The Boyd Coddington–built Vern Luce coupe is one of them. I say that with the most humble of assertions, as I was the person who designed it. By saying I designed it, I don't mean the '33 Ford; I'm old, but not that old. What I did was design the changes made to the '33 Ford three-window coupe to achieve the transformation resulting in the Luce coupe. But it took a host of very talented individuals to go from paper to pavement.
When it comes to '33–'34 three-windows, two of my faves are Jake Jacobs' yellow zonker built in the early '70s and the late Jim Ewing's orange zinger built later that decade. I wanted to take the best of them both, then blend the lower body into the frame like a '32 Ford. The car was initially designed with different track-nose front ends, then John Buttera suggested it should have a '33 grille. (He'd have a lot more to do with this car later.) Once I drew up what that would look like, the basic direction for the '33 was established.
It was 1978. Boyd was building a car a year in his garage in Cypress, California, and working nights at Disneyland as a machinist. It would be a quarter century before TV and the circus surrounding him would heighten his presence but diminish his hot rod rep. At the time, Buttera was also building hot rods in his nearby Los Alamitos garage, having abandoned the hectic world of Top Fuel. I was still a year away from graduating from Pasadena's Art Center College of Design.
Boyd and John were artists in metal, oil, and gleaming lacquer. It just happened to be conjured around old cars. The same could be said for me. I knew these guys could build anything, so it was fair game to see if they could replicate what I had scratched on paper. Boyd wanted a swoopy coupe for himself, but he could see this was going to be the perfect project for a paying customer, and Vern Luce was in Boyd's gunsights. Boyd was finishing up a nice but standard-for-the-times '32 Ford Vicky for Vern, and Vern liked Boyd. Hanging out at Boyd's garage on the way to his business—which was making candy—was becoming a daily routine. Vern was the Candy Man. Literally.
What started as a coupe for Boyd became the launching pad for Hot Rods By Boyd (HRBB), though it was simply Boyd back then. That was plenty, because he could machine, fabricate, do bodywork, and paint. He surrounded himself with a talented group of friends and craftsmen who could pull off this caper: Buttera, racing legend Art Chrisman, tin-bending wizard Steve Davis and his apprentice Dan Fink, and Terry Hegman, who flew in from Michigan to do the final bodywork and paint. To fly in a painter was a mind-boggling idea at the time. Chrisman built the Weber-carbed small-block Ford, adding the rare Weslake heads to the mix, and Nick Matranga (a name from the George Barris custom-car annals) built the C-4 trans.
Buttera had a '32 sedan project that went upside-down, and it donated a lot of its suspension pieces for the coupe. Boyd fabbed the entire frame; there was nothing stock about it. For the body placement, I wanted Boyd to slightly channel it over the frame as the body progressed forward to help keep the stock height of the car at the rear, but also wedge it as your eyes moved forward. Leaning back the N.O.S. '33 grille visually aligned it better with the leaned-back windshield. The top had a slight wedge to it as well.
The big deal was lowering the bottom of the cowl to line up better with the frame. Normally, the cowl would ramp up to sweep around the front fenders, but on a highboy, there are no fenders. By making this mod and tying the hood sides into the cowl, the body flowed like a '32 Ford. Davis and Fink spent a long time altering the lower cowl, as well as creating the lower portion of the grille and tying it in nicely with the front suspension. The idea was to get the grille as far back as possible to eliminate a potential Pinocchio look. The use of the N.O.S. grille proved to be a mistake, as Boyd later discovered that the one he pulled from the dark recesses of his parts stash was one of the better originals he owned. Oh, well.
Gray Baskerville had been following the project for HOT ROD, so we knew the car would be in the magazine—we just didn't know it would also be on the cover. Editor Lenny Emanuelson and Art Director Charlie Hayward seemed especially geeked about the car, which resulted in six pages of coverage—almost unheard of for a single feature in HOT ROD at the time.
Whatever you think of Coddington and Buttera—who are credited, or blamed, for creating the billet aluminum/"smoothie" look in hot rodding—you have to keep this episode in the context of the times. The smoothie cars get a bad rap today, but they were new and exciting and completely different than what was being built to that point. Today, those who complain most about the billet era are guys regurgitating what was built back in the '40s and '50s. That's great, but hot rods have always evolved—just like machinery, electronics, or racing. To those involved with hot rodding in the late '70s, smooth and billet were just the next new things in Rodland, USA, and this car became pivotal. The mix of established "names" and a groundbreaking car helped to launch the careers of many of us FNGs. Besides helping start HRBB, the coupe gave me my first big exposure as a designer. Dan Fink soon started his own business in partnership with Terry Finch, and eventually founded Dan Fink Metalworks in Huntington Beach, California. Terry Hegman liked being in Southern California enough that he brought his wife and daughter to live here permanently; he's been doing incredible metal fab at Hegman's in Fountain Valley for decades.
After Vern's death years later, the coupe was sold to Jamie Musselman, who, upon seeing the coupe in its finishing throes, had Boyd build a roadster version that won the Grand National Roadster Show (GNRS) in 1982. He had Boyd make some small changes to the coupe before taking it back to Texas, eventually selling it to Aussie Gary Brown, who has owned the car for years. Gary recently finished a top-to-bottom resto, keeping the car the way it was when he purchased it. Any changes from the original that you may spot were made before Gary's ownership.
In addition to the roadster version of the car for Musselman, Boyd and the same team of craftsmen did a two-door Phaeton version for Larry Murray, which won the GNRS in 1985. Next came a '33 Vicky version that was owned by actor Nicolas Cage in the '90s, and that's currently in the Petersen Automotive Museum. Back in Prior Lake, Minnesota, fab-master Greg Fleury created the Khrome Shoppe Special, a track-nose version for Oklahoma's Bob Reed, which won Detroit's Ridler Award in 1984. In 1994, Boyd built a similarly styled roadster—this time with black paint and flames—for Van Halen bassist Michael Anthony. The bloodlines of Vern's '33 are rich and span decades.
Boyd's sons, Chris and Greg, and I were really excited to see the coupe back from Australia for its yearlong sojourn to California, which kicked off with the HOT ROD Homecoming in March 2013. It was the first time I had seen it since it was completed in 1981. Thanks go to Gary and Wendy Brown. Chris and Greg were tasked with driving it to the Homecoming, but new-car gremlins in the form of bogus wheel-bearing grease sidelined the coupe halfway to Pomona from El Segundo. But make no mistake—the Vern Luce coupe is no trailer queen. Gary has driven the wheels off of the '33 Downunder, and those of us caretaking the car plan on doing the same while it's in town—as ordered by Brown. So look for a red '33 spaceship at a rod run or boulevard near you.

The "Jake" part of Pete & Jakes Hot Rod Parts is Jim Jacobs, who built the coupe in the foreground in the early '70s while working for Rod & Custom magazine. The top chop was followed in R&C, and both the coupe and the flamed, full-fendered '34 owned by Pete Chapouris appeared on the Nov. '73 R&C cover. The nose was a narrowed '37 Ford truck grille—a '50s lakes trick. The coupe is now owned by Jerry Slover, who also owns Chapouris' coupe, Ewing's coupe, and the Pete & Jakes parts business—a nice package, wouldn't you say?The front and rear suspensions were the handiwork of John Buttera and Coddington, from Buttera's design. The front used a '74 Fiat rack-and-pinion, Strange spindles, Corvair ball joints, and Kelsey-Hayes brakes. In the rear, a Halibrand champ quick-change centersection holds Kelsey-Hayes inboard disc brakes, Jaguar halfshafts, tubular suspension arms by Boyd, knock-off hubs, and Koni coilovers. The Center Line centersections received five round openings on Buttera's lathe, and could be considered the first Boyds Wheels wheels.Most of the chassis components for the coupe came from this Stillborn Buttera sedan project. This car was ultimately sold and recently showed up in Squeak White's shop in Santa Ana, California. It may still get finished. No photos of this car have ever been published before.In July 1981, the Vern Luce coupe became the first of many Boyd Coddington creations to land on the cover of HOT ROD. It won the Al Slonaker craftsmanship award at that year's Grand National Roadster Show (GNRS), and eight consecutive Best In Show awards from the ISCA show car circuit. Boyd was the ISCA's Builder of the Year in 1982. Everyone at the GNRS said that if the coupe had been a roadster, it would have won that year's America's Most Beautiful Roadster (AMBR) award. In response, Boyd built a roadster version that did win the AMBR in 1982.The HOT ROD Dec. '79 cover car was being done in twos, as a sedan (above) version of this car was also in the works at Lil' John's shop. The coupe was John's own car, and it got finished, but problems led to the sedan being parted out, with most of the suspension components going to Vern's coupe. John was already building a '29 roadster—a solid-axle car—for Portland's John Corno. It became the AMBR winner in 1980.Art Chrisman built the Weslake-Ford engine with TRW pistons, a Mallory ignition, 48 IDA Webers, Kenny Moores headers, and valve covers milled by John Buttera. Chrisman was also doing street engines for Buttera's cars and would build the powerplant for the subsequent Musselman roadster.Here's the car at the HOT ROD Homecoming after a ground-up resto by current owner Gary Brown. Changes include later Boyd knock-off wheels, molded and painted mirrors, a billet grille insert, and mandatory-in-Australia parking lights in front. I had to make new AN lines for the fuel tank after leaking two gallons of gas inside U.S. Customs at LAX (everyone there was very cool about it—thanks, guys), and former Boyds fabricator Al Simon is currently installing new rear wheel bearings, which were packed with crappy grease and seized on the way to the Homecoming.When Boyd first met Jamie Musselman, he wanted to build a Model A hot rod for him. Upon seeing the Vern Luce coupe being finished at the upholstery shop, Jamie was smitten. I suggested Boyd do a roadster version of the coupe for him, and Boyd had a deposit within an hour. What I didn't know was that the coupe would develop into many clones and variations. I wish HOT ROD left the hood on for this shot, which was blown up about 8 feet wide as a decoration for the magazine's Sunset Boulevard officesKnown as the "Khrome Shop Special," bob Reed's 1933 Coupe was built by Prior Lake, Minnesota's Greg Fleury. Reed saw one of my drawings from the feature that ran in HOT ROD, talked to Fleury about building it, called me, and this was the result. There wasn't much i needed to create for this particular build, but Greg and I collaborated on a few other enjoyable projects like Frankenstude. The coupe won the Detroit Autorama Ridler Award in 1984. From a build standpoint, it was much more involved than Vern's Coupe.

Their rivalry with the Thunderers is fierce and legendary among the Australian magical community. The Warriors are the inventors of the Wollongong Shimmy.
Behind the scenes
- Wollongong is a coastal city in the state of New South Wales in Australia. It is misspelled "Wollongong" in Quidditch Through the Ages.
- The University of Wollongong is host to a Muggle Quidditch team that shares its name with its fictional counterpart.[1]

Bayside Tunnel is a road tunnel servicing the highway running from Gant Bridge, through Tierra Robada, and into Bone County. It is modeled after the real life Waldo Tunnel in Marin City, California just north of the Golden Gate Bridge, it sits just to the northeast of the city of Bayside, cutting into the nearby hillside.
Stationary Vehicles
Steal a car with 2 people in it, and do not let the passenger get out from the car while driving the car into the tunnel. Stop the car and let him out, once out you could run over him. It comes sounds from him like you are running over a pedestrian, but the person will not die. He will die later on.

According to The Hill, Senate Democrats "say any deficit-reduction package negotiated in the coming weeks must include stimulus measures." Sen. Charles Schumer, the New York Democrat identified by The Hill as the party's chief political strategist in the Senate, has said, "We need to do something on stimulus as part of the overall fiscal cliff."
I wonder if this guy passed kindergarten math?
Meanwhile, Senate Democrats haven't passed a budget in any of the last three fiscal years and probably won't pass one next year. Sen. Patty Murray, who wants to chair the Senate Budget Committee in the next Congress, has told The Hill that she won't commit to moving a budget.
This is remarkable. The Democrats will continue to spend recklessly without even passing a budget — which, if done the right way, would give the economy a boost.
More economic trouble is on the way. But apparently this is what the voters asked for.
They are fricking dumb... So lets waste another 500-900B on worthless shite that will temporarily boost thing.
Full Democrat control from here to eternity.
The Repubs need to do NOTHING and let the cuts kick in and taxes go up
This just goes to show that the Ds have no concern for the debt. The Rs need to let is all expire, The House needs to propose a balanced budget amendment and pass it, pass a budget with real reform and leave it to the Senate to ignore it. No more debt limit increases and if a budget is not passed shut down the government...

Recently I spent time outside Michigan with a room of nonprofit professionals. As we discussed tighter budgets and higher demands, a consensus grew around a perceived shared mandate. With a weary shake of the head, one person stated their common dilemma:
We must do more with less.
The statement was received both as an unavoidable reality as well as a virtual prison sentence. It meant doing more activities with fewer people and less money. "My board just won't have it any other way." "People are suffering and need our help." "It's impossible to say No."
The phrase "more with less" took me back to a 1970's Mennonite cookbook - the "More-with-Less Cookbook." I revisited the introduction which says, "the book demonstrates clearly how we may enjoy more while eating less. There is a way of wasting less, eating less, and spending less which gives us not less but more."
Here, more with less meant more quality with less stress.
I've seen this principle at work in many arenas. Organizations that focus on fewer programs and do them well without over-stretching their staff or budgets serve more people over time...and serve them better. Those that won't say No and keep over-stretching themselves just fight the same battles year after year after year.
We can do more with less. We can add more quality to our services, more patrons to our rolls, and more funding to our mission. We can do this with less stress, less burnout, and less tension. One key is to focus on what we can do well, and say No to the rest. Like a great tree, build a solid core and then add a little ring every year.
More with less is a long-term recipe for success, not a short-term fix.

I have a number of the 32L technic axles, but most of them have some bend to them. Is there a straight-forward way to straighten these? Trying to bend them by hand has not seemed to change anything, and I'm afraid I'm going to snap them if I try harder.
I have had some success straightening bent train level crossing gate barriers by first immersing the pieces in a bowl of hot water*, for around 5 minutes to soften the plastic and then immediately trapping them between two hardback books and applying weights until they have cooled.
So by using Joubarc's method to hold the axles straight combined with a pre-soak you may get better results.
*LEGO is plastic and plastic can melt, you only want to soften the plastic not melt it further out of shape. See this question for more.
I'd suggest storing them straightened up for a while, if possible in 32 adjoining 1x2 bricks with cross hole, and add a few layers of bricks to hold them in place. At least it's a pure LEGO solution, but I'm not sure how efficient.
