The state of Mississippi is home to two of the SEC's top three returning quarterbacks.
Welcome to Raycom News Network's live blog from SEC Media Days in Hoover, AL.
(RNN) – The BCS has spoken and no other conference except the SEC even exists. This comes after a week of games that was so terrible we didn't even watch one.
We had our eyes trained on what was almost the second-biggest upset in Louisiana, and what ended any lingering hope of a non-AQ conference team making a BCS bowl. Obviously, we're speaking of the overtime loss by Louisiana Tech to Utah State.
It was a bad day to be away from a TV. Not only did Ole Miss go into the most overrated stadium in college football and try to prove that statement true, but Stanford showed Oregon the importance of playing defense and Baylor resurrected the ghost of Robert Griffin III in a total annihilation of Kansas State.
The Wildcats lost by 28, a deficit that came close to matching the previous high for points allowed by their defense. The win made Baylor 5-5 and set up Notre Dame's rise to No. 1, followed by a trifecta of SEC teams. That's the first time that no other conference has failed to have a team ranked in the top 4.
More chaos could ensue in the next two weeks, and you would be stupid not to watch for it. And to those annoying people who won't shut up about how the regular season will be diminished when the playoff starts, one loss is still enough to eliminate a team from it, so please drop your stupid arguments and embrace what college football should have instituted decades ago.
Below is the weekly list of what we learned from watching SEC games in Week 12.
1. Nick Saban is the luckiest man on the face of the Earth. With all due to respect to Lou Gehrig, he's got nothing on the Alabama coach.
Saban is on the verge of backing into his second national championship game in consecutive seasons. Not even Bear Bryant pulled that off. Saban is known as much for finding things to be upset about even after dominating wins as he is for "The Process," which emphasizes playing up to a personal standard regardless of opponent and losing early enough that there is still time for everybody else to lose and vault you back up in the rankings.
You can't argue with success. Losses by Oregon, Stanford and Oklahoma State last year allowed the Crimson Tide to get a rematch with LSU for the national championship, and losses by Oregon and Kansas State have put Alabama at No. 2 in the BCS and back in control of its own destiny.
It almost looks as if "The Process" involves losing a game just so Saban can have something to be upset about. Even when he won a national title at LSU, the Tigers lost a game early in the year and benefited from the BCS shutting Southern California out of the championship game despite being ranked No. 1 in both human polls.
Saban is now free to rally Alabama (10-1, 6-1) to wins over Auburn, Georgia and Notre Dame/Florida/Oregon/whoever-ends-up-not-losing-another-game and further his place in college football lore.
2. Ole Miss hates winning. How else can you explain some of the outcomes the Rebels have produced this year?
The Rebels (5-6, 2-5) gave up two touchdowns in the last 6 minutes of the game in a 30-27 loss to Texas A&M, needed a last-second field goal to beat Arkansas, allowed Vanderbilt to get a game-winning touchdown in the final minute, gave up three fourth-quarter touchdowns to LSU – including a game-winner in the final minute – and have been one win away from bowl eligibility for three weeks.
It's a big improvement over where the Rebels were last year, and is a sign that good things may be on the horizon, but it has to be frustrating for fans to know that the Rebels could just as easily be 8-3 as they could be 4-7.
3. It's a good time to be an LSU co-ed. Les Miles, the Tigers' insane head coach (The man eats grass. Enough said.) gave his full endorsement to the lovely ladies of Baton Rouge getting cozy with his football players. Get your hands on some cheap, plastic beads, boys, it's going to be a good week.
Miles is a lunatic. This has been known for years, but it's always nice to reaffirm a strongly held belief. His odd, profane, rambling advocacy of heterosexual revelry was, by far, his best "Les being Les" moment, and the speech should immediately adorn the walls of every sorority house in southern Louisiana.
This is good news for Arkansas. Not only will LSU (9-2, 5-2) be stuffed full of gravy and cranberry sauce before Friday's game, they could be very unfocused early in the week as well (Perhaps trying to win the favor of these ladies?) and that smells like a recipe for an upset.
Then again, it's Arkansas, so forget we even brought that possibility up.
4. It's a really bad idea to lose to Vanderbilt. The one-day delay on this column deprived us of the opportunity to speak ill of Derek Dooley while he still had a job, but we did enough of that during the season and in text messages to friends that it's probably for the best.
That doesn't mean we're not going to still speak ill of him, though. We do, however, respect Dooley's parting statement in which he said, "Sorry I was so terrible." Maybe that wasn't a quote. We could be paraphrasing. Either way, it's honorable to admit when you're bad at your job.
It's more honorable to not be bad at your job in the first place, but it's too late for that.
Dooley actually said, "I am sorry we could not generate enough wins to create hope for a brighter future," which sounds an awful lot like what we said above, just in a more eloquent and refined way. (Dooley has a law degree, so that is to be expected.)
Tennessee (4-7, 0-7) gave Dooley the boot one day after losing in spectacular form to the Commodores, just like two weeks ago when Kentucky's Joker Phillips got the boot one day after losing to Vanderbilt in spectacular form. Vanderbilt is actually pretty good, but the rest of the conference has spoken and getting embarrassed by Vanderbilt, and losing your shot at bowl eligibility in the process, is not acceptable.
That being said…
5. James Franklin (coach) will be getting some phone calls, and the first one better be from his athletic director asking how much more money he wants.
If Vanderbilt wants to be a big-time football program (is that even possible?) it has to drop a ridiculous pile of cash on the football coach's desk and be saddled by a crippling buyout clause should the win total return to its normal level. That's the stuff champions are made of.
But until forced to part ways with Franklin because another school with football tradition (i.e. rich boosters and a lack of concern for education) wants him, Vandy (7-4, 5-3) should shower him with all the love someone who lives in Nashville and can't play the banjo deserves.
He's the best football coach in the state of Tennessee and is on pace to stay that way just wearing orange instead of gold, unless that gold comes in bars.
6. Mississippi State is the living embodiment of "middle tier." The Bulldogs (8-3, 4-3) beat the bad teams and lose to the good ones handily.
Mississippi State followed three straight losses in which it allowed 38, 38 and 37 points and scored 7, 13 and 17 with a 45-14 win over Arkansas (4-7, 2-5). All three of the Bulldogs' losses were to ranked teams, and all eight of their wins are over unranked teams.
Mississippi State's only other opponent is Ole Miss, which is not ranked, so that bodes well for the Bulldogs.
7. It's Johnny Football's Heisman to lose, and he won't lose it. But if your name is going to be "Johnny Football," kicking a PAT should be easy for you. It wasn't.
Manziel is not a kicker and the point didn't matter in the outcome, so the miss is more than forgivable. However, the only reason he got sent out there in the first place was probably a shameless attempt at the Heisman, which is a good reason to vote for someone else to win it.
The only good that came from the attempt was it gave everybody a comeback to that one annoying friend we all have who claims he can do anything other people fail at. If Johnny Football can't do it, you can't either.
8. Want to hear a joke? Missouri. Ok, that was uncalled for, but it was still pretty funny.
Missouri's bowl eligibility likely slipped away, just like its fourth quarter lead in a 31-27 loss to Syracuse. Missouri (5-6, 2-5) allowed a touchdown with 20 seconds left in the game and now must topple Texas A&M (9-2, 5-2) to play in the postseason.
We're not much on predictions, but we're pretty confident A&M will win that one and end Missouri's inaugural SEC season with disappointment, just the way the entire season has played out. There is good news, however, because it is basketball season and the Tigers are currently undefeated.
9. Auburn is so bad it forgot how to celebrate. There are people who place the oak trees at Toomer's Corner in Auburn in such high regard as to be equal with the Liberty Bell. But while those trees are dying due to poison and Auburn fans throwing other dead trees onto them after every win (this has been a good year for the trees in that respect) there are other people who treat those trees with such respect and care that after beating Alabama A&M (yes, that was cause for celebration, if you're wondering) they set them on fire.
The trees were poisoned and have been delicately clinging to life for two years. That life slips away even more every time toilet paper is heaped on them. Trees aren't designed to take that kind of abuse. They also aren't designed to resist fire.
It's probably a moot point with only Alabama left on the schedule, but Auburn (3-8, 0-7) should just stop winning all together to give whatever chance at life the trees still have a fair opportunity because the fan base certainly can't be trusted with that kind of responsibility.
10. We like empty calories, but they're best in moderation. Western Carolina, Jacksonville State, Wofford, Georgia Southern, Alabama A&M, Sam Houston State and Samford were all on the slate for SEC teams.
Like eating Twinkies, Ho-Hos, Ding Dongs, CupCakes and Sno Balls, it's nice to get a quick fix every now and then, but you don't want to eat a whole box them at once. SEC teams played host to and shut all those teams down, similar to how Hostess, the maker of all the aforementioned goodies, shut down production this week.
SEC teams pay through the nose for those game, and you can honor their commitment to "excellence" by paying through the nose for a box of Twinkies, if you so choose. Just don't eat them all at once. Contrary to popular belief, they don't last forever. This week's news was proof of that.
Extra points: Seriously, if we hear another person say "the regular season is the playoffs" we're going to burst into flames.
We don't know if James Franklin (coach) can play the banjo or not, but either way he made the right career move.
If you're considering paying $8,000 for a box of Twinkies, call us first. We have an opened box that was purchased on a buy-one, get-one free special before the Hostess bankruptcy was announced that we'll sell for less than half that, but only if you pay the shipping.

Why? Baseball has better candidates.
Take, for instance, the choice in 2000 between George W. Bush and Al Gore. Please.
How much more rewarding it is to choose among the merits of the National League candidates at first base, such as Jim Thome, Albert Pujols, Sean Casey, Todd Helton, and yes, Lyle Overbay? Or some of the American League outfield candidates, such as Vladimir Guerrero, Manny Ramirez, Ichiro Suzuki, Gary Sheffield, Carl Crawford and Magglio Ordonez? You cannot go wrong with any of these people. We are talking about an argument where the issue is merit, not an argument in which the one guy might be slightly less damaging than the other character.
The record will show that roughly 106 million votes were cast in the 2000 presidential election. For the All-Star Game, there were 141 million votes cast online alone, right here at MLB.com. There are extenuating circumstances in comparing these totals, but there is no question that what we have here in the All-Star balloting is what is known in the political trade as "a highly motivated electorate." Yes, baseball seems to have "energized the base."
There are, of course, more candidates for the All-Star teams than there were for the presidency, at least on the final ballots. (Although in 2000, you had to count Ralph Nader and Patrick Buchanan. Right away, the presidential race grew from a battery to an infield.) But, in baseball, more viable candidates translate into more voting. That might not be the case in national politics.
And the nay-sayers will argue that in the All-Star selections people get to vote more than once. So what? Numerous reliable reports have indicated that this was a way of life in Chicago for a very long time. How do you think the phrase "vote early, vote often" originated?
The baseball voting has clearly demonstrated the power of online voting. Again, there will be those, buried deep in a pre-techno past, who will complain that this method of voting is open to abuse. The 2000 national elections of course, ended up focusing on a bunch of "hanging chads" in Florida. There are no chads, hanging or otherwise in the All-Star Game voting. Compared to an election that had to be decided by the U.S. Supreme Court, online voting is a model of purity. Or, look at it this way: In politics, Florida produced an electoral quagmire. In baseball, Florida produced the world champion Marlins.
Here is another way in which the baseball elections are superior to the national elections. The guy who gets the most votes actually wins. There is no anachronistic electoral college in the All-Star voting. You do not get, well, Barry Bonds led all vote-getters but he's trailing in the electoral college so he won't be a starter. No. There is grass-roots democracy at work. I know, it's a radical concept, but it does seem to be succeeding, in the summer elections.
The baseball elections also have both a broader candidate base and a wider electorate. Ichiro Suzuki once led the All-Star voting. Yet, he could not be elected president of the United States, even if he were to renounce his Japanese citizenship and eventually become a full-fledged American. This is our loss. You've seen Ichiro. Extremely talented, intelligent, diligent fellow. In a president, we could do much worse. We already have. Warren G. Harding.
Non-U.S. citizens obviously cannot vote for president, but they can vote in All-Star elections. Why? Baseball is in a better position internationally than American society. Each year, the American game is enriched by the growing contributions of, for instance, players from Latin America and Asia. As a society, what we currently get from abroad can be summed up in the phrase "higher oil prices." And that's the best of it.
The truth is that while the NBA parades itself as an international game, and the NFL persistently tries to develop a European market, it is now baseball that leads the way in having international players in integral roles. So it is more than fair that the All-Star ballot be open to the entire globe. And we eagerly await the arrival of the first Estonian outfielder, or the scrappy second sacker from Uzbekistan, or the crafty left-hander from Sri Lanka.
Of course, some people will say that the All-Star balloting is a trifle, while the presidential election is a matter of the utmost importance. There cannot be a serious quibble with the importance of the presidential election, although with home-field advantage for the World Series now at stake in the All-Star Game, I think we can agree that the gap has been narrowed.
With all the crucial precincts in for the 2004 All-Star voting, we can say, without fear or favor, that this election has two clear winners, beyond the elected starters themselves: The game of baseball and participatory democracy, an American way of settling arguments.

The state of Mississippi is home to two of the SEC's top three returning quarterbacks.
Welcome to Raycom News Network's live blog from SEC Media Days in Hoover, AL.
(RNN) - Here's a weekly look at five of the SEC's top performers in Week 10 and who to watch in Week 11.
It's been an up-and-down year for Georgia, but a dominating 37-10 win over Ole Miss, aided by Murray's 384 yards and four touchdowns, put the Bulldogs in position to clinch the SEC East and garnered Murray co-offensive player of the week honors.
Georgia's offense has alternated between dominant and nonexistent as well as trading weeks where the passing game shines and the running game shines. The good news for the 'Dogs is that to clinch the SEC East, all they have to do is beat Auburn this week. Whatever comes through for the offense will likely be fine because Auburn's defense is statistically one of the worst in the SEC.
A win also likely guarantees Georgia (8-1, 6-1) a bowl bid no worse than the Capitol One Bowl and keeps them in the running for a BCS bowl bid, whether as an automatic qualifier or an at-large team.
Tennessee's lack of defense – it ranks either 13th or 14th in the SEC in all major categories – allowed for a ton of offense last week in a 55-48 win over Troy, and Bray's 530 yards and five touchdowns, earned him co-offensive player of the week honors.
Tennessee (4-5, 0-5) is two wins away from earning bowl eligibility, but will have to pick up its first two SEC wins of the season to get it. Bray will play a major role in what happens because with the Vols' defense unable to stop opposing offenses, Bray will have to guide Tennessee's explosive offense to keep up.
In a game defined by defense, the top performer was a player who gets very little publicity. Hubbard had 12.5 tackles, including 2.5 for loss in Alabama's 21-17 win over LSU, and was named the SEC's defensive player of the week. It was particularly surprising because Hubbard isn't in the top 50 in the SEC in tackles, though he is tied for ninth in sacks and tied for 10th in tackles for loss.
It speaks to the dominance of Alabama's defense. LSU (7-2, 3-2) was the first team to move the ball consistently against Alabama (9-0, 6-0), providing the opportunity for a high number of tackles that previously did not exist.
Alabama's defense was uncharacteristically soft against the run, thanks in part to an LSU offensive line stronger than any the Tide had faced and unusual production from the Tigers' passing game.
Hill recorded his third consecutive 100-yard game for the Tigers, and became the first SEC running back to eclipse that mark against Alabama since 2010. Hill has emerged from the nation's most crowded backfield as a go-to threat in every situation.
Vanderbilt is one win away from being bowl eligible for the second consecutive year. Rodgers has guided a steady, though fairly mundane, offense for the Commodores (5-4, 3-3). He averages 209 yards a game - which is four yards more than AJ McCarron, the SEC's most efficient passer – and had 220 yards and two touchdowns in a 40-0 win over Kentucky.
That win led to the announcement that Kentucky coach Joker Phillips will not be retained at the end of the year.
Mettenberger will try to follow his 298-yard performance against Alabama with another prolific day against Mississippi State.
Mettenberger has struggled all season and is ninth in the SEC in passing yards per game and 12th in passing efficiency. Mississippi State's defense ranks 11th in the SEC in rushing defense and eighth in passing defense, so the opportunity for another breakthrough outing is possible.
LSU is still in the running for the SEC West crown and a BCS bowl berth, though both are highly unlikely. A win keeps LSU on track for either the Cotton Bowl or Outback Bowl, but a loss could drop them to the Chick-fil-A Bowl.
As always, Johnny Football is a must-see. The dynamic dual-threat QB – who leads the SEC in rushing and total offense – will guide the SEC's best offense against its best defense in Alabama.
The Aggies (7-2, 4-2) have the No. 5 offense in the country, while Alabama's defense is No. 2 nationally. Manziel has had huge games against lesser teams, but against top-rated defenses, such as Florida and LSU, he has been stifled and the offense has faltered.
A&M has a weak defense – eighth in the SEC – so if Alabama's efficient and punishing offense is able to put up points, Manziel will have to navigate the Tide's juggernaut defense to keep the scoring on pace. A&M is considered the likely frontrunner for the Cotton Bowl, where a matchup with Texas is possible, but a loss to Alabama could put that in jeopardy.
Miles will be making his first start against Arkansas, replacing the injured Marcus Lattimore. Miles is faster than Lattimore, but is not as shifty or hard to tackle. South Carolina (7-2, 5-2) is fighting for a trip to the Capitol One Bowl and cannot afford a third loss.
Arkansas (4-5, 2-3) is fighting to salvage its season and has a passing game that is third in the SEC. The Razorbacks could still become bowl eligible, but will have to beat two ranked conference opponents to do it.
Miles will be expected to pick up the load Lattimore had been carrying and help guide the Gamecocks' ball control offense and keep Arkansas' explosive passing game on the sideline.
Has Auburn finally settled on who its best quarterback is? As long as Wallace doesn't throw interceptions, yes.
The Tigers (2-7, 0-6) are the only thing standing in the way of Georgia making the SEC championship game, and are hoping to pick up a conference win. Wallace has shown he can lead an SEC offense, but Auburn's has been so inept this season it's not likely to turn around with him under center.
Tennessee and Missouri are in the same boat this week. Both are two wins away from being bowl eligible, and both will likely need a win this week to make it. Franklin has been injured and inconsistent – he threw four interceptions in a 14-7 loss to Florida last week – in the Tigers' inaugural SEC season.
Missouri will play Syracuse and Texas A&M later in the year, so beating Tennessee is a must in order to salvage the year. Tennessee has the SEC's worst passing defense (115th nationally), so the opportunity is there if Franklin can take advantage of it.

Re: New Paint at Tractor Supply
I order the restoration series valspar from my neighbor hood Lowes, it was cheaper per can than TSC, you have to order it by the case, sounds like a lot but its not, gallons are a case of two, qts are a case of 4 and spray bombs are a case of six, no shipping charges, had it in 4 days
Re: New Paint at Tractor Supply
That is good info to know. I'm down to my last spray bomb of Restoration Series IH red. All I have left are the quarts and a gallon I got when TSC was clearing it out last year. Need more spray bombs.
Re: New Paint at Tractor Supply
I guess I'm the odd man out. I've used Majic with sucess. Definately use hardner and reducer and it goes on great and dries fast enough for me. The color is slightly off though, not good when painting part of a tractor like I did. Here's a pic of my SA that I painted the tank, hood and grille with Majic.
Know Your Cub, And Your Cub Will Know You.
Re: New Paint at Tractor Supply
The new Majic paint at TSC is not something I would paint a tractor with But I've used it on some implements and such and it does ok , I have found it takes a long time to cure but if you use the hardner with it , it sure helps a lot , cuts the time almost in half ,,,

I've still got 2 cans of Valspar Restoration series left, but I'm wondering about future needs. I do like the mention of ordering it from Lowes.
Re: New Paint at Tractor Supply
I like the Valspar very much.
Matched up and never clogged or splattered.
Re: New Paint at Tractor Supply
The new majic paint sold at tractor supply comes from rustoleum
Re: New Paint at Tractor Supply
I painted my Cub with Valspar. I was fortunate because I carry it in my Hardware store. If you are looking for a local store question the owner on who he buys from, if it is Orgill inc. they carry the IH implement paint in spray and quarts but not the restoration series. Let me know if I can be of help with stock numbers.
Re: New Paint at Tractor Supply
I bought two cans of their IH red paint and painted a white hood with it. Gotta say, it's surely isn't IH red. Looks more candy red to me. Have since bought Valspar and did it right.

Re: New Paint at Tractor Supply
I have been using the .97 per can royal blue from Wally world on the 174 planter. I have used the IH iron guard paints, professional grade automotive paints, and everything in between. For .97 a can, it works great for me. It is, after all, a farm implement, and I am painting it for rust prevention, not to be a trailer queen. If it were show stuff, I wouldn't use any less than an automotive grade two part.
I'll be drinking that free bubble up, and eatin that rainbow stew.
Re: New Paint at Tractor Supply
Tim are you sure that majic paint is the company as rustoleum? I no reference to Majic paints on the company that owns rustoleums web site. I could be wrong but were did you read this?

The state of Mississippi is home to two of the SEC's top three returning quarterbacks.
Welcome to Raycom News Network's live blog from SEC Media Days in Hoover, AL.
(RNN) – Tennessee did not earn a shot at the SEC championship this season, but it didn't keep one Volunteers fan from defending his team's honor.
Matt Grimes, a Tennessee fan from Covington, GA, was at SEC FanFare on Friday afternoon in Atlanta and beat fans of Alabama and Georgia at a trivia contest. Grimes said he's been to every SEC championship game since 2005 regardless of who plays in it.
"Every year we come here with the family," Grimes said. "I don't really care who wins. I think they'll both beat Notre Dame."
Alabama (11-1, 7-1) and Georgia (11-1, 7-1) play Saturday for the SEC championship at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta, with the winner expected to face Notre Dame for the BCS national championship.
Grimes' sentiment was echoed by several other fans who displayed support for teams not in Atlanta. Most of them saw the SEC championship game not as a de facto national semifinal, but as the national championship itself, and gave the Fighting Irish (12-0) little chance to beat whoever comes out on top Saturday.
Randy Blanchard is an LSU fan from Columbus, GA, who's been to the game each of the last five years. He's seen LSU win the game, but this year is pulling for Georgia. If the Crimson Tide win, he won't be excited about the national title game.
"I probably won't watch it," Blanchard said. "Alabama and Georgia both will beat Notre Dame. Alabama, Georgia, Florida, LSU, South Carolina all beat Notre Dame."
The confidence expressed by fans across the conference grates on those from elsewhere in the nation, but the lofty view of self-worth among SEC faithful is justified. The conference has won each of the last six BCS national championships.
And no matter what happens in the coming month, no other conference has the chance to change that, because Notre Dame doesn't have a conference affiliation.
The SEC put two teams in the BCS championship game last season, and nearly did it again this year. Florida is ranked No. 4 in the BCS, would have likely earned a title game berth had Notre Dame lost to Southern California last week and was the most well represented team in Atlanta outside the two competitors.
"I can't root for Georgia," said Sean Rowe, a Florida fan who lives in Atlanta.
Rowe comes to the FanFare every year, but sells his tickets when Florida isn't playing. This year he parted with two tickets for $500 each.
"It's always an Alabama fan, too," Rowe said. "Their alumni base must just be everywhere. They always buy them. Every time."
Like a lot of Florida fans, Rowe lamented the heartbreaking season his team had and how difficult it will be to enjoy the postseason knowing how close the Gators came to the national championship.
"No matter who wins, either one will truck Notre Dame," Rowe said. "On the offensive line and defensive line and even the skill positions, they're both just better than Notre Dame."
No Irish fans were spotted in Atlanta, though several SEC teams, including Kentucky, had at least a marginal presence.
Ten Tennessee fans from one family alone walked around playing games and enjoying the atmosphere, even if their bright orange wardrobes clashed against the surrounding sea of red.
"We enjoy it as a family no matter what," said Chet Carbaugh, the patriarch of the orange-clad crew, while wearing a No. 10 Vols jersey. "We're from Knoxville, and we come every year. If Tennessee isn't playing , we go to the aquarium or a museum or something else like that. It's a yearly vacation."
If it all seems a little odd, you're not familiar with how SEC fans treat each other. While the season is bitter and hotly contested, the postseason is largely a time to rally around each other and assert mutual dominance over whoever stands in the way.
Even the bitterest of rivals can put their hatred aside in the postseason.
"You root for the SEC no matter what," said Mark Lynn, an Auburn fan from Pensacola, FL. "I have a lot of people in my family who like Alabama, so I guess I have to go with them. Alabama is just a better team. They'll beat Notre Dame."

Watching and listening from our corner of the country, unable to prevent flashbacks to our own recent natural disasters — Katrina, Isaac, and the storms of 2011 — our hearts grew heavy. But we searched for and were easily rewarded with the stories of the beauty and vitality of the human spirit as they began to emerge almost immediately after Sandy chose her victims.
Large, rich entity GM immediately responded by donating 50 trucks to the Red Cross. Determined to make her work shift the day after the storm, an emergency room technician swam from her flooded neighborhood to a main road and hitched a ride for the rest of the way to the hospital. An industrious New Jersey neighborhood turned Sandy's lemons into lemonade when they used downed limbs to lift spirits with a community bonfire.
High school students from Colorado worked Thanksgiving weekend gutting water-ruined homes. Two sisters, ages eleven and fourteen, wrote letters to President Obama asking him to help their grandparents who had lost their home on Staten Island. The letters were instantly and personally answered after their grandparents hand delivered them to the president when he visited the area. Seemingly endless, the positive Sandy stories keep rolling out.
A Tuscaloosa
Story - Rescuing storm fabrics
Around Alabama, a year and a half after the April 2011 storms, new stories delightfully and effortlessly unfold from surprising, unexpected sources. Dr. Sue M. Parker, a University of Alabama professor in the Department of Clothing, Textiles, and Interior Design for more than forty years, owned and operated Parker's Fabrics on 15th Street in Tuscaloosa. After twenty years in business, she closed the shop and stored the new, unsold fabrics nearby in two tractor trailers.
Planning to donate the fabrics, Sue's search for a suitable organization was interrupted on April 27, 2011, when the F4 tornado swept through Tuscaloosa on a 5.9-mile path of carnage, ultimately stealing lives, homes and businesses. In mere moments, 12 percent of the City of Tuscaloosa was destroyed and 7,000 individuals lost their jobs.
The tornado picked up one of the trailers containing Sue's fabrics and dumped it a block away, in front of McDonald's. The fabrics scattered and found new homes in the storm's leftovers — wrapped around battered vehicles, encased in layers of filthy mud, ripped, torn and tangled in shards of broken glass. When Sue made it to the area, sickened by the shroud of devastation, the remainders of a pecan tree on her property immediately seized her attention. Remnants of a once-teal fabric gracefully draped the surviving limbs and opened a window of hope. Certain her fabrics had a purpose and should not become part of the tons of storm garbage, Sue began the daunting task of recovering them. University of Alabama students, including many from all over the world, and other Tuscaloosa residents showed up right away with an energetic thirst to help. They rescued Sue's fabrics, storing the dirty wet globs in black trash bags. The Alabama Network of Family Resource Centers gratefully accepted the fabrics and placed them in the skilled, ingenious hands of Black Belt Designs — a trio including Lillie Mack, Jo Hare and Marilyn Gordon.
York's Black Belt
Designs - The perfect fabric salvage team
The Black Belt Designs team evolved from the Sewing Project which began in York, Ala., in 2003. Armed with a grant from the Alabama Civil Justice Foundation and an unlimited creative spirit, Marilyn, a retired social worker who had a small fine art craft shop in Daphne, volunteered to work with women who were eager to improve their sewing skills in a workshop setting. More than one hundred women took part over the course of the project.
After a 26-year career in sewing plants in Livingston and York, Lillie participated in the Sewing Project, fueled by her ceaseless determination to give life to her own designs. She and her sister Jo, another sewing plant veteran, learned to sew as little girls. They started out making clothes for their dolls and moved on to making clothes for themselves and other family members.
With the souls of genuine artists, Lillie, Marilyn and Jo began their Black Belt Designs line with repurposing "past-life" denim jeans, donated or discovered in thrift stores, into jackets. Encouraged by the jackets' reception, which included a trunk show in the New York City home of Demopolis native Jim Rogers, these designers' hands had difficulty keeping up with their ideas as they branched out to a collection of clothing — dresses, skirts, vests, coats, jackets — as well as purses and tote bags. Envisioning wearable art in discounted, discarded and damaged materials, their design ideas never end.
Remnants of
the storm emerges
Since wholehearted optimism thrives at the core of their work, visitors to the tiny, material-packed Black Belt Designs studio in York are not surprised when they are greeted with a sign at the door which reads, "Negative thoughts and words are not allowed. Leave them outside." Inspired by the same sense of optimism, collaboration between Sue Parker and Black Belt Designs simply made good common sense. Sue knew her fabrics had a purpose in their second life and the design team members are geniuses with repurposing. From this mutual attitude and understanding of their mission, Remnants of the Storm emerged.
Marilyn, Jo, and Lillie painstakingly cleaned the storm salvaged fabrics. As the colors and textures began to reveal themselves, the first Remnants product, the scarf-like "Twister," took shape from Jo's handiwork with her scissors. Some of the items are enhanced by donated or thrift store materials and many are completely made from storm remnants.
The talented, loving hands of these artists transform the remnants into imaginative, incredible, one-of-a-kind gifts of the storm — tote bags, dolls, pillows, dresses, jackets, vests, coats, wrist wallets, cloth pins. Sue proudly notes, "We have taken what the tornado left us and turned it into beautiful art." This art benefits others, including the Alabama Network of Family Resources which receives a share of the sales proceeds.
Hurricane Sandy's recent wrath encouraged a welcome refocus of our attention to the stories of hope, determination, and creativity which continue to emanate from a day of unimaginable darkness. Built upon the inherent virtues of optimism, artistry, resourcefulness, and inspiration, Remnants of the Storm offers one more astonishing glimpse into the extraordinary resiliency of the human spirit. Note to Readers: Remnants of the Storm's Facebook page includes wonderful photographs of the design collection.

It has been over two years since the first DNN Super Fan was crowned. The DNN Super Fan contest has become a very fun event that a lot of the community looks forward to. A handful of folks submit themselves as being the most passionate fans of DNN by creating a contest entry and then the community votes for their favorite. This regularly results in a lot of fun "marketing" done by the entrants and voters as they try to bribe others in the community for their votes. Year three of the DNN Super Fan contest starts now and anyone can win!
The most common issues and questions that I come across on a daily basis are very often a result of not knowing the DNN Platform as well as it could be known. Like with any tool, the better you know it, how to manipulate it, the best techniques behind it, and so on… The better that you will be at using that tool. The faster you will be at accomplishing tasks with the right solution. Every solution is only as good as the people that run it. This is your opportunity to walk away with the critical knowledge that is foundational to you being the best DNN resource that you can be – and have a blast with others in the DNN community at the same time.
This is the second post in a series of blog posts that will focus on ways that you can participate in DNN in some way. Participation is incredibly important. Without it, any community will suffer, and an open source community like ours knows this all too well if you look at the history of open source. After all, what good is any project if no one is using it. Luckily, we have had the luxury of millions of users, nearly a million production sites, over a thousand eco-system vendors & system integrators, and more. We have thrived more than most. However, like I stated before, there are a ton of ways for you to participate. If you're new to DNN, this post will help you help others by answering questions.
This is going to be the first of a series of blog posts introducing you to ways that you can participate in some way with DNN. You don't need to be technical, a programmer, or a graphic designer to participate. You can be ANYONE. Participation is the cornerstone to any community and our community is larger than most. Our community is also geared around open source software, giving us numerous ways to participate. Since the ways to participate have become so broad even over the last couple of years, I thought it might be worth pointing them all out for those of you that might like to do so.
You should already be aware, but there is an incredibly active and vibrant user group in Charlotte, North Carolina called Queen City DotNetNuke User Group or QCDUG. These folks were also the masterminds behind the Day of DotNetNuke Charlotte last year. When they agreed to do another event this year, I couldn't even tell you how excited I was because last year was so awesome! These gentlemen sure did not disappoint when they organized and held their second event, this time branded in a fun way as Southern Fried DNN! What a great way to participate in our community!
There's really nothing bad I could possibly say about any code camp in Florida. Community leaders like Dave Noderer make such a thing impossible. They are so amazing in their ability to organize a fantastic event. South Florida Code Camp 2013 was just as amazing as this code camp always has been. This is about my 3rd or 4th time presenting here. It just gets better and better! This blog post is mostly about the resources for my sessions though.
It's been a while since I've been to South Florida Code Camp (#sflcc). If you're not aware, it is the largest code camp in the State of Florida. They regularly have at least 700 attendees. People come from all over the state to attend this code camp, and if you're reading this blog, you should too. Code camps are a one-day event that allows you to learn about all kinds of useful information. In fact, Day of DotNetNuke was modeled after the code camp model. If you want to meet and learn from some of the most passionate people dealing with Microsoft technologies… Go to a code camp!
What do alligators, gators, and DotNetNuke have in common? The University of Florida! That's right… The University of Florida – or Florida to most of you – is looking for a talented DNN developer to build some state-of-the-art applications. This is not a remote gig. You need to move to or live near the university.
It may surprise you to hear that in such a populated region such as London to hear that there has never been a DotNetNuke user group there. That's right! There isn't an area in the United Kingdom that is considered to be more metropolitan. It's also considered to be a leading global city in numerous areas such as arts, commerce, education, entertainment, fashion, finance, healthcare, media, research and development, and more. Yet DNN hasn't reached their techie scene. That's changing! The very first user group meeting that focuses on DNN will be held there in just a couple of short weeks.
First of all, if you haven't already heard, there was a contest. The annual DotNetNuke SUPER Fan contest. There was voting. There were shenanigans. There was all kinds of friendly competition. And in the end, there was a winner. That winner was awarded at DNN World 2012 in Orlando, Florida. Not only was the contest a bunch of fun as usual, but the awards ceremony continues to be a blast since it's held at the most prestigious and informative event about open source CMS in the world…

The West Virginia State Police are asking the public to help them locate the parents of abandoned twin baby boys.
Trooper J.R. Coburn, with the West Virginia State Police Welch detachment, said troopers are asking for the public to come forward with information relating to two white male newborns who were dropped off at a residence in Mingo County hours after their birth on June 26.
"They were wrapped in a blanket, put into a basket and left on the doorstep," Coburn said. "They were left at a residence in Verner with a note in the basket asking that the babies be taken to Welch Community Hosptial. We believe they were born outside of a medical facility. A good Samaritan then took them to Welch Community Hospital."
Coburn said witnesses reported seeing a young female in the vicinity before the children were abandoned.
Anyone with information about the parents or the infants is encouraged to contact the West Virginia State Police Welch detachment at 304-436-2101.

GREAT: TRIGUARD COVER, great for cars parked in a carport. This type of car cover is made of soft and non-abrasive polypropylene for optimum strength and softness. This type of car cover will be able to protect the car's exterior and interior from developing cracks and fading.

GREAT+: SILVERGUARD COVER is a highly customized car cover. Its material is composed of a 300-denier polyester woven with a special coating. Silverguard is ideal for ultimate UV protection as the special coating helps reflect the suns harmful rays. The material is made of non-abrasive polypropylene that is soft yet durable. Comes with grommets for easy tie-down. The use of ultrasonic welding process to seal the seams is used for high water-resistance.

At this rate, we may have to rename Thanksgiving "Black Thursday."
Big-box retailers such as Wal-Mart, Toys R Us and Sears are opening their doors at 8 p.m. Thursday — just as Thanksgiving dinner tables are being cleared in many homes. Target will follow suit at 9 p.m., enticing shoppers out of their homes during the final football game of the day.
Not everybody is happy about it, but retailers are scrambling to make the most of what is expected to be a mediocre shopping season — even if it means cutting into a holiday traditionally reserved for family gatherings and decadent meals.
"There's a segment of the population who wants to drop their drumstick and immediately pick up a door-buster," said Brian Hanover, a spokesman for Sears. "Our customers kept telling us they wanted more flexible Black Friday shopping hours."
Last year, when stores opened as early as 9 p.m. on Thanksgiving, it sparked protests from workers and shoppers who worried that there soon wouldn't be any holiday left. This year, as retailers start even earlier, similar protests are underway: Target employees have started a petition to "save Thanksgiving," and Wal-Mart workers say they are gearing up for protests on Black Friday.
"It's ridiculous," said Anthony Hardwick, a former Target employee who led protest efforts last year. "We're getting rid of Thanksgiving dinner, and for what? For a $300 flat-screen TV?"
But retailers think they have found a new pocket of holiday shoppers — those who aren't eager to wake up early Friday for the traditional discounts but are willing to forgo Thanksgiving dessert.
Perhaps the earliest door-busters of the season will begin at 6 a.m. on Thanksgiving, when Kmart will begin selling high-definition plasma TVs for $199.99. The retailer has stayed open on the holiday for the past 21 years but only recently began offering Black Friday discounts a day early.

At the same time down in Texas, Dan Kolb was in the midst of a frustrating string of injuries that threatened his once-promising career. But then-Rangers GM Doug Melvin believed he still had a future as a Major League reliever.
For both players, the future is now.
Sheets, who has an 18-strikeout game and a near-perfect game under his belt this season, is going back to the Midsummer Classic. Kolb, who has not allowed an extra-base hit all season and has developed into one of the league's elite closers, is headed there for the first time. The 2004 All-Star Game is July 13 in Houston.
"It's always an honor," Sheets said. "This time it's probably a little better because after the first year you don't realize how big of an honor it is. You come in and
everything happens so quick, but now you understand it."
This marks the third straight year that the Brewers have had a pair of All-Star participants. Richie Sexson and Jose Hernandez represented the home team when the game was staged in Milwaukee in 2002, and Sexson and Geoff Jenkins were in uniform last season at U.S. Cellular Field in Chicago.
"It says a lot for what direction we are going in," Sheets said. "In my first three years, we were towards the bottom [in pitching statistics], but this year the ballclub is pitching well."
Sheets, 7-5 this season with a 2.58 ERA in 16 starts, becomes just the third Brewers pitcher and the first starter to make multiple All-Star appearances. Closer Dan Plesac went to three straight from 1987-89 and Hall of Fame closer Rollie Fingers represented the Brewers twice, in '81 and '82.
Entering Sunday, Sheets' was tied for second in the NL with 113 strikeouts, and his 2.58 ERA was good for third in the league behind the Mets' Tom Glavine and the Cubs' Carlos Zambrano.
The right-hander has averaged 9.39 strikeouts per nine innings, fifth-most among NL starters, to go with just 17 walks in 108 1/3 total innings. His average of 1.41 walks per nine innings trailed only San Diego's Davis Wells (0.87 BB/9 IP).
In other words, Sheets is a bona fide ace in every area but wins. In fact, Sheets' seven wins does not even lead the Brewers in wins, as he is tied with right-hander Victor Santos behind Doug Davis' eight.
The Brewers have struggled to score in Sheets' starts, most dramatically in his June 8 outing at Angels Stadium in Anaheim. Sheets, who has never come close to a no-hitter at any level, was seven outs short of a perfect game when Vladimir Guerrero golfed a sinker between the shortstop and third baseman.
That was the only hit off Sheets through the end of the ninth, when the Brewers and Angels remained knotted in a scoreless tie. Milwaukee ended up winning the game, 1-0, in 17 innings though Sheets had nothing to show for it.
He had plenty to show for his May 16 win against the Braves at Miller Park. He struck out 18 Braves hitters that day, four more than Moose Haas' 26-year-old franchise record. Sheets became just the 14th pitcher in history to strike out at least 18 batters in a game, and two days later was named the NL Player of the Week.
Kolb has saved each of Sheets' last three victories and is 24-for-25 in save chances this year. He has a remarkable 0.87 ERA this season and has not allowed a run since his only blown save of the season, which came May 31 at Los Angeles.
"It's one of those things that really hasn't sunk in yet," Kolb said after learning of his selection. "I'm definitely happy to go. I know I couldn't go if not for the other 24 guys and the coaching staff we have here."
The All-Star nod caps an incredible transition for Kolb, who in one calendar year morphed from an oft-injured Rangers prospect into a flame-throwing comeback case for the Brewers last season to a ground-ball machine in 2004. Instead of firing at hitters with a 97-99 mph fastball, Kolb is working in the mid-90s this season with a split-fingered fastball to compliment his heat.
"There's been times where I thought my career was over," Kolb said. "I had Tommy John surgery and I tore my rotator. There's just three years where I just couldn't get healthy. It was one of those things where not only do you wonder if you will ever get back to the big leagues, you wonder if you are ever going to play again.
"To finally be healthy and finally be doing what
I'm doing, I don't think anyone appreciates [being selected] as much as I do."

If Vicious Victor Ortiz wins the fight on September 17th it will be sports biggest upsets ever. He will no doubt be the top guy for a VERY long time. Victor will make his own rules and be a money fight for anyone who wants to fight him. He could pick to fight Khan or Pac, hell even another rematch with Marcos M. His future will be in his own hands. But if he loses then what? Will his stock go down or will Khan want to fight him or Pac? Will he get the big names fights? Everyone knows that if May loses that Pac fight is down the toilet and he can just retire because no one will care to see him fight. That 0 is keeping people interested. But Ortiz is young, how will he keep people interested in seeing him fight if he loses to May?
Depending on how he loses (if he does) will determine his future. If he gives May all he can handle then people will respect him, being beaten by May is nothing to cry about. I like Victor, he has a nice story and I like his cockiness. Its appealing and sales tickets. I am pulling for MJ but I have respect for Victor, I just hope the boxing world does too after Sep 17th. Any thoughts?

Waukesha school leader calls town water decision 'baffling'
The Waukesha Town Board's refusal to alter its January decision to include only a small northern portion of the municipality in the City of Waukesha's future water service area will jeopardize planned construction of two public schools, Waukesha School District officials said Friday.
Now the School Board must decide whether to sue the town to include the district's property in the water service area or seek annexation to the city so that it does not lose access to the service, Superintendent Todd Gray said. »Read Full Article(24)

ATF's Milwaukee 'Fearless' storefront had little to ward off burglars
The door had no deadbolt. The few scratches and marks told police the men had little trouble prying it open. Hard to believe it was all that stood between the burglars and a storefront full of goods belonging to federal agents running an undercover gun sting.
And who would imagine the thieves would have unfettered access to the place for three days, propping open the door with a shoe and returning the next day with a moving truck to finish the job? »Read Full Article(65)

PITTSBURG, Kan. — A college sorority president is being credited with helping escort her sorority sisters to safety after their bus caught fire en route to a conference Saturday.
Mary Kate Gartner, president of the Alpha Gamma Delta sorority chapter at Pittsburg State University in Kansas, helped lead the evacuation before part of the bus was engulfed in flames, said university President Steve Scott.
No one was injured.
"She did provide leadership as that bus came to a stop and basically said, 'We need to evacuate the bus,'" Scott said. "The young women around her gave her a lot of credit for being very composed and yet being firm as to this is what they needed to do."
According to a statement released by the Crawford County (Kan.) Sheriff's Department, the fire was reported at 6:45 a.m. Saturday when the bus was three miles north of Arma on U.S. Highway 69. Officers and firefighters arrived to find the bus engulfed in flames, but everyone had been evacuated.
The bus was carrying members of the Alpha Gamma Delta sorority to the annual Fraternal Leadership Summit in Overland Park, Kan.
The driver and owner of the passenger bus, Steve Roberts, told officers the bus overheated, according to the statement from the sheriff's department. He said he had pulled to the side of the road to check the outside of the bus when flames began coming from the area behind the drivers' side rear tire.
Roberts told officers he attempted to put out the fire with an extinguisher.
Scott said the students joined the summit later Saturday and would return to the campus Monday.

ANAHEIM -- As Angels manager Mike Scioscia has continually altered his lineup, going through an American League-leading 25 combinations through the season's first 28 games, it's the No. 2 spot that has suddenly become a revolving door.With Howie Kendrick batting sixth more often -- though he slid to fifth with Albert Pujols out on Saturday -- Scioscia has used three different No. 2 hitters in this homestand, mostly behind new leadoff hitter Mike Trout. It's been Maicer Izturis, it's been Vernon Wells and, as it was Saturday, it's been Alberto Callaspo. Scioscia would ideally like to have a steady 1-2 punch at the top of the order, as he tried to have with Erick Aybar and Kendrick at the start of the year, but it's not possible if guys aren't getting on base consistently. Angels No. 2 hitters rank 29th in the Majors in collective on-base percentage (.235) -- though you can say something similar about several spots in the Angels' struggling lineup. "The presence you need there is just that drumbeat of on-base percentage," Scioscia said. "It doesn't have to be one guy. And right now, we'll match up if we have to. If there's one guy who's having the type of year of getting on base and takes off with it, that's beautiful. But I don't know if we have that dynamic right now if we're not trying to match up."
Iannetta nursing sore hand, may return Sunday
ANAHEIM -- Angels catcher Chris Iannetta was out of the Angels' starting lineup for the third straight game on Saturday, due to lingering soreness on his right hand/wrist area after being hit by a pitch on Wednesday -- the night of Jered Weaver's no-hitter.Iannetta did come in as a defensive replacement during Friday's ninth inning, after Alberto Callaspo pinch-hit for Bobby Wilson, but he isn't ready to start just yet. "It's just the progression," manager Mike Scioscia said. "He did take some soft-toss today, he took some swings, feeling progress, but still a little stiff. We're hopeful tomorrow he's going to come out and he's going to play." Iannetta, acquired from the Rockies in exchange for right-hander Tyler Chatwood in November, is batting .220 with a .324 on-base percentage and three homers in 23 games. Wilson, the backup catcher, caught C.J. Wilson for the first time this season on Saturday.
Angels trade 7-foot-1 Van Mil to Indians
ANAHEIM -- The Angels dealt Minor League relief pitcher Loek Van Mil to the Indians on Saturday in exchange for future considerations, which will probably end up being cash.Acquired from the Twins in September 2010 as the player to be named later in the deal that sent lefty Brian Fuentes to Minnesota, Van Mil posted a 2.04 ERA in 30 games for Double-A Arkansas last year. In Triple-A Salt Lake this year, while pitching in the hitter-friendly Pacific Coast League, the 27-year-old right-hander had given up 10 runs (seven earned) in 10 innings. Van Mil, 7-foot-1, is the tallest player in pro baseball and one of only a handful from the Netherlands.
Worth noting
Saturday marked the 50th anniversary of the first no-hitter in Angels history, when Bo Belinsky blanked the Orioles in a 2-0 win at Chavez Ravine on May 5, 1962. Friday's 4-0 loss to the Blue Jays marked the first time since 1992 -- against the Royals -- that the Angels were victims of back-to-back shutouts by opposing starters, according to STATS LLC. Vernon Wells had only two walks through his first 93 plate appearances before drawing two in Saturday's 6-2 win. It was his first two-walk game since July 16, 2011, and the first time Wells -- who also doubled -- had reached base safely three times since Sept. 3, 2011.

Des M oines, Iowa - Lottery officials say nobody has won the Powerball jackpot and the top prize will now increase to about $425 million for the next drawing, the largest jackpot ever for the game.
Iowa Lottery spokeswoman Mary Neubauer said sales were strong over the holiday week for Saturday's drawing, which was estimated at $325 million before the numbers were picked. That was the fourth-largest jackpot in the game's history.
Neubauer says the jackpot for Wednesday's drawing could go even higher than the estimated $425 million because sales pick up in the days before record drawings.
The previous top Powerball prize was $365 million, won in 2006 by a ConAgra Foods Workers in Lincoln, Neb.
The Powerball numbers for Saturday were 22-32-37-44-50, and the Powerball was 34.

In many ways, Black August, at least in the West, begins in Haiti. It is the Blackest August possible — revolution and resultant liberation from bondage. From its earliest days, Haiti was declared an asylum for escaped slaves, and a place of refuge for any person of African or American Indian descent.

What about the guy on 60 Minutes who was wrongly convicted of rape and murder andput away for ten years. Then, DNA testing came of age. And they found out his semendidn't match the semen found in the victim. And the judge decides that even withoutthe semen/DNA match, he could have still committed the murders! So he spendsanother 9 years in jail. 19 total until they find the real killer/rapist.And the city offered him $1.7 million. Sorry, but I want $10 million if I'm him.http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2007/03/23/60minutes/main2600721.shtmlThe story really doesn't focus on him.

Re: 154 Project (photo heavy!!)
I've been working on the Loboy still, but not finished...
I had an issue with the front headlight retainer with rusted and broken studs. Thought about throwing it away and getting another from Hamilton Bob, but took a stab at a repair first. I didn't take and before pics, but these are the results:
I took my Dremel and cut the broken stud from the plate flush with the risers (red arrow). Then a center punch and drilled all the way through the plate. Tapped to 10-24. Picked up a piece of all thread from Lowes and cut it into four equal pieces and JB welded it in place with jam nuts to add reinforcement and keep things tight.
With the JB weld in the threads and a bit on the end of the all thread, I ended up with a bit protruding from the front side.
Sanded it down smooth with the front. There is a decal that covers the entire front light housing, so perfection wasn't key.
This is what I ended up with. The threads are still a bit long, but nothing a Dremel can't fix. All total, I've got about $2 in the parts and about 30 minutes of time. Picked up new wing nuts as well for the light retainers. Just waiting on my yellow paint!!

Re: 154 Project (photo heavy!!)
Looking good so far. Great job.
I'm technically misunderstood at times i guess its been this way my whole life so why should it change now.
Re: 154 Project (photo heavy!!)
Well, I blew my original timeline just a bit... I'm back on track now, just waiting on a couple of things to wrap this up!!
Got the engine running, great oil pressure, no strange noises, so I should be good to go on that end. I'm a little further along than the photos show, but still a ways from being finished!!
Ordering decals and dash plate tomorrow from C&G, just wish they offered the correct one for this SN 154, but I guess beggars can't be choosers.
Special thanks to HamiltonBob, everything I've ordered from him and his crew (and I've ordered a lot!! ) has been top notch!!
Re: 154 Project (photo heavy!!)
Looks great Raymond. I was wondering how you were coming along with your 154.

Raymond, you got it going on. Everything looks super clean and ready to go back together. Good thing you got a good memory. Great work.

Re: 154 Project (photo heavy!!)
Hello, Very nice work...enjoyed the pictures. I am just starting a 185 rebuild myself. Close to getting the block out...already pulled the number 3 piston because of a visible score mark. My engine sat for 30 years unused. There was an enourmous amount of carbon in the combustion chambers, valves, manifold, etc. Is this common...I also have the Zenith carb #13781 that says bendix on the front. My Muffler is also stuck in the manifold....thanks for the tip on getting it out. Now for the big question. Do you have a source for an origional style muffler to replace the one you just cut off? I would really like to replace mine also but can't find one anywhere.
