Jewel To Keep 'Dancing' After 'Minor Setback'
An injury won't stop Jewel from "Dancing."
Though she took to her blog and "The Billy Bush Show" to discuss her break from rehearsals after a tendinitis diagnosis on Wednesday, the "Dancing With the Stars" contestant said on Thursday that the show – which premieres its eighth season on March 9 on ABC — will go on.
"Yes, it is true I have had a minor setback in my training for 'Dancing With the Stars,' but I am dedicated to getting better and showing the judges and America that I can cha cha with the best of them," she said in a statement to Access Hollywood. "Don't count me out, as I am in this for the long run."
On Wednesday, she told Access' Billy Bush that her long rehearsals had been painful – but worth it.
"It's also a blast," she said, adding that she and her husband, fellow contestant Ty Murray, had learned some valuable skills. "We get these world-class teachers and we're learning something we never would've done. In fact, at our wedding, we didn't even dance – we just did that high school slow dance."

Tallest construction crane in Victoria's history to rise in Vic West
After five months of dynamiting a rocky outcropping overlooking Victoria's Inner Harbour, excavation for the City of Victoria's tallest building, the 21-storey (66.3 meter tall) Promontory tower in Vic West, is finally nearing completion.
But before construction crews can get to work and actually begin building the tower, a construction crane, and in this case perhaps the tallest such crane ever erected in Victoria, will first be assembled.
The German-built Liebherr free-standing construction crane will hover above workers at a height equal to two-thirds of Mount Tolmie, or 83.8 meters. The crane's operator will sit a little lower at 74.7 meters.
"It is very, very likely this crane will be the tallest ever erected [in Victoria]," confirmed Ian MacKenzie of Axiom Builders, a Burnaby-based construction contractor in charge of the Promontory project.
In the 1960's when Victoria's current tallest tower (22-storey Orchard House) was constructed it would have been with the use of a climbing crane. The way that technology works is the crane rises with the growing tower and always hovers two or three floors above the floorplate. Using hydraulic lifts, the crane climbs just high enough to give crews the space they need to work. Even at it's full raised height, though, it is doubtful the crane would have stood anywhere near 84 meters above ground.
At the Promontory site the giant Liebherr will be free-standing, meaning it will be erected to full height from the start of construction and stay at that height until disassembly in early 2014. This will give the public a sense of the final tower's height at build-out well ahead of its scheduled completion date.
Those wanting to observe the crane erection should expect activity in the second or third week of June, said MacKenzie. He adds that the process will be a "sight to behold" as individual pieces of the mast are bolted together followed by attaching the slewing unit (the component that allows the crane to rotate) and finally placing the elongated boom (which allows for horizontal movement of the crane's pulley). The entire erection process — weather permitting — will likely take two days to complete. VV

Yup, looks like the enclosure over the stair access to the parking structure will be all glass - very cool! :thumbsup:
That's a large HVAC system in the distance waiting to be installed on the roof:
It even comes shrink wrapped!
The architectural trellis (to be installed on the roof) has arrived.
Looks like it should have been shrink-wrapped as it got nicked in shipment.

The Los Angeles Lakers will likely be without forward Metta World Peace for the remainder of the regular season as he recovers from a torn meniscus in his left knee, Mike Bresnahan of the Los Angeles Times reports.
Speaking with reporters Wednesday, Lakers head coach Mike D'Antoni said he's not optimistic about the forward returning before the regular-season finale on April 17 against the Houston Rockets.
D'Antoni didn't mention how the injury would affect his status for the postseason, assuming L.A. makes it, but his progress in coming weeks will likely affect that.
World Peace suffered the injury during the Lakers' loss against the Golden State Warriors on Monday. Afterward, D'Antoni sounded much more optimistic than he did when offering an update Wednesday.
With World Peace out of action, D'Antoni says that Jodie Meeks will take his place in the starting lineup. A shooting specialist that stands just 6'4, Meeks will give L.A. a significantly smaller opening lineup than the one featuring World Peace.

Yeah Eliot!!!!!! Way to go!
Ok, now that I got that out of my system, lol, let me start with a couple of things.
Awesome job by the UFC, using their platform to give back to our soldiers via the Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund. Agree or disagree with the war, supporting our troops and their families is absolutely neccessary and anything short of that is despicable.
Thanks to Zuffa for 3 free cards in the past week and a half. No matter how the cards turn out, having these events makes it much easier for me to justify the money I spend on ppv each month. And by "free" I mean not having to pay an additional amount beyond my normal monthly bill and watching commercials. Sorry, but there is always somebody ready to redefine the term, "free".
So the sometimes entertaining, often disgusting season has come to an end. The ripple effect has yet to be seen...
-One last thought on the antics. When TUF 1 came on, it was a new venture and nobody knew what to expect. We all saw the drama that surrounded Chris Leben and the attention that brought him. I can say without hesitation, that he probably would have been out of the UFC long ago, if not for the recognition TUF garnered him. So, we shouldn't be surprised that the amount of poor behavior has escaleted to this point, when fighters know they can get as much, or more, attention from misbehaving as they can from fighting. The question now is, "who will be the new and improved Junie Browning in future seasons?". Fasten your seatbelts and grab that little paper bag from the seatback in front of you.
-Junie vs Kaplan. Very impressive performance by Junie, albeit against a clearly inferior opponent. Refreshing statements from him, but it is going to take a lot more than that for me to forget TUF Junie and support UFC Junie.
-Eliot vs Jules. Very impressive performance by Eliot, albeit against a clearly inferior opponent. Noticing a trend here? Was Eliot's striking impressive? Yes. Was his ground attack? Of course. But most impressive was his focus, determination, confidence and overall mental state. I'm glad we got to see a couple of guys like Eliot and Krystof get televised, they deserved it. Now obviously, Jules needs to go back to the minors, but the confidence a win like this gives a fighter, can not be overstated.
-Krystof vs Primm. Mildly impressive performance by Krystof, albeit against a clearly inferior opponent. I think Brookhouse may be correct in the misplacement of all the Krystof love appearing on the net. He is just such a cool dude, that I think we all want him to be a world beater. I hope at this point in his career, he can still find ways to improve.
-Wilson vs The Athlete. Wilson is clearly on the upswing and i just don't know what MacDonald's place is right now, though it appears to be gatekeeper. I hope he doesn't get cut by the UFC, but he really could use a big win soon.
-Johnson vs Burns. Pretty good fight, though I had Johnson winning both rounds. I think Johnson's size is amazing and difficult to deal with. I hope he continues to improve and round his game out. Oh, by the way, OUCH! Best head kick since Gonzaga vs CC?? Burns is also very tough and should have a nice UFC career before it is done.
-Bader vs Vinny. Damn, Vinny is huge at 205. My guess is we will see him several more times at least. Note to Darth Bader: Metallica does a version of "The Imperial Death March", get it and use it! Bader fought smart and has a lot of power in his strikes. When he caught Vinny and put him down, I think what won him that fight, was his ability to control himself and not dive onto Vinny, who went down and rolled to replace guard. Bader stayed up, avoided the ground and landed the hammer strikes that finished the fight. Job well done. Lot's of potential in the TUF 8 LHWs.
-Nover vs Efrain. Good fight, not a great fight. I still believe that Nover has more skills, but Efrain used the Kryptonite and took him down at will. Efrain put the fight where he wanted it and controlled position, was more effective and forced Nover to swing for the fences, which he easily ducked and slipped. I really look forward to seeing both of these guys in the near future.
Overall, I think it was a pretty good show, even though it didn't have the coaches fighting or any traditional fan favorites to anchor it. We saw some devastating strikes, some good subs and some competitive fights.
I know that some people don't have a lot of interest in the preliminary fights, but i view it as a nice reward for guys that contributed to TUF and otherwise may not ever get the chance to fight on a UFC card.
I really appreciated the flow of the broadcast tonight. I watched it live and it still seemed to flow very well in comparison to past Fight Nights and Finales. The one thing I truly dislike about free cards is not seeing the corner time between rounds, so this was a big improvement to me.
Lastly, I can't wait to see Mall Cop, featuring MMA supporter Kevin James and some bald headed Dutch guy...I mean very handsome Dutch guy. Damn, that scene where he was rolling in front of the glass doors so awkward and slow, really had me laughing!
Next up in 2 weeks, UFC 92: The Ultimate 2008, should be a great event!

I worked with Tom in the late 70's and early 80's when he was at SRI. He was an excellent scientist, a great winemaker, and a wonderful man. The world has lost one of its gems. I will miss you, Tom. My sincere condolences to his family.
on Mar 6, 2014 at 9:47 pm
Tom Mudd was one of the most wonderful people I have ever met. When we Indians took over Alcatraz Island on November 19, 1969, Tom came up immediately from Woodside and helped us. He and I became fast friends. He came to my house for Thanksgiving, Christmas, and other celebrations for several years. In the meantime, I had gone to Stanford to work on my doctorate. Tom followed a few years later. He already had a BS and an MS degree from Stanford, but he finally decided to get his doctorate. he gave us the start-up funds for an Indian scholarship program in December 1969. That occupation has consumed my life for most of the past 45 years, with a detour to be President of the oldest Indian college in the nation, Bacone College in Muskogee, Oklahoma. Tom blessed my life, and I thank him. Dean Chavers, Albuquerque, director of Catching the Dream

Local drivers will soon have more headaches as they hit the road.
That's because more repair work is expected next year on the Zilwaukee Bridge and I-75.
The Michigan Department of Transportation laid out construction plans during an informational meeting Wednesday.
The work will reconstruct about 4 miles of I-75 between its two junctions with I-675.
Construction plans include replacing bearing pads on the bridge that have been worn down over the decades, and the work could provide some new jobs.
"I-75 is a significant corridor, including the Zilwaukee Bridge, for trade, for tourism, for travel. And so we want to make sure that we do our best to ensure that we're ensuring the structural integrity of the Zilwaukee bridge and of the roadway, the highway in general," MDOT spokeswoman Anita Richardson said.
Three lanes of traffic will remain open during the project.
Work is expected to take two years once it begins in April 2013.

CATEGORIES MoviesCanadian director Atom Egoyan ("The Sweet Hereafter," "Chloe") has a killer cast slated for his next movie, "Queen Of The Night."
The latest actor to join the roster is Rosario Dawson ("Sin City," "Death Proof"), who joins the already-cast Ryan Reynolds ("Green Lantern," "Buried"), Scott Speedman ("Last Resort," "Barney's Version") and Mireille Enos ("The Killing").
Reynolds plays the father of an abducted child. Eight years after she was allegedly kidnapped, a series of clues convince him that the now 17 year-old girl is still alive. As the detective in charge of the case, Dawson's character becomes involved in the investigation, racing against time to rescue the imprisoned girl before the trail goes cold.
"Ryan Reynolds and Scott Speedman, Rosario Dawson and Mireille Enos -- Atom Egoyan has assembled a powerful cast to tell this riveting story of a father searching for his missing daughter," said Sally Caplan, Managing Director at eOne Films International.
Egoyan is an internationally known filmmaker, and is one of the most successful independent film directors in the world. His films include "Next of Kin," "Family Viewing" and "Exotica." The multiple-award-winning Egoyan recently completed production of his latest film, "Devil's Knot," starring Reese Witherspoon and Colin Firth.

Opponents of a proposed oil pipeline across northern Minnesota rallied in Bemidji on Wednesday.
A grass-roots group on the Leech Lake Indian Reservation is mounting a petition campaign against the pipeline planned by Enbridge Energy. The Leech Lake Tribal Council has already passed a resolution that says it plans to accept $10 million from the company and would grant permits and leases for the pipeline.
Opponents fear possible leaks from the pipeline and say the pipeline would harm wetlands in Minnesota and Wisconsin.
The 1,000-mile Alberta Clipper pipeline will travel from Alberta, Canada, to Superior, Wis., carrying oil extracted from Canada's oil sands.
An Enbridge spokeswoman says the company's goal is to lessen U.S. dependence on oil from the Mideast.

CCTV of shocking car bonnet ride
Antiques dealer Simon Webster and his staff feared a woman had been drinking when she came into his shop in Cross Hills near Keighley in West Yorkshire. He tried to stop her driving away but she drove off at speed, with Simon gripping the bonnet, begging her to stop.
Mandy McGuigan left him lying injured when he flew off the car as she took a sharp bend. McGuigan has pleaded guilty in court to grievous bodily harm, dangerous driving and failing to stop after an accident. She's yet to be sentenced.
North Yorkshire Police have released Simon's own CCTV footage of the terrifying events that followed.

Reba McEntire Plastic Surgery
56-year old Reba McEntire, who with Blake Shelton hosted the 2011 Academy of Country Music Awards does show that she has plastic surgery over the years, most likely facelift and breast augmentation.
Plastic surgeon Dr Walden says, "Country's funny lady Reba McEntire is no stranger to plastic surgery. Throughout the years there have been reports of facelifts, as well as a possible breast augmentation. It appears that she may use dermal fillers to combat deep set lines."
Plastic Surgeon Dr. Nassif says, "Reba McEntire appears to have had a facelift, which is evident when she smiles. Additional fillers around her face are a good possibility as well, along with some Botox in the forehead as her skin appears very smooth. Rhinoplasty is a possibility due to her narrow bridge. Overall she still looks good and does not appear overdone."

Former Chicago Cubs manager Lou Piniella will be a special contributor to the Yankees Entertainment & Sports (YES) Network for the 2012 season. I know I'll be using my MLB At Bat app to tune in to a few Yankees games to check out Sweet Lou's broadcast stylings. I didn't pay too much attention to him during his brief stint with Fox (?) before managing the Cubs. Oh, and remember, every time he says "Look...," you have to drink.
Larry Stone's usually on target, but here he just has a "hunch". Not this time, Larry -- after Lou's tearful final press conference when he said he was taking the uniform off for the last time, I believe Lou. He's retired for good.
OK, so this is my own piece -- I wanted to write a longer form piece for SB Nation Chicago about this topic. So have at it. My basic point is that if it's not Girardi (and I doubt he's available), it should be Ryne Sandberg. Time to bring this job back into the Cubs family. Hope you will take the time to read the whole piece.
From George Castle at the Times of NW Indiana.
FWIW: I have no idea if Greg Couch @ FANpeeps is a good or a poor source of information, so you may want to take this with a grain of salt.
The photo is worth seeing.
Quote from Lou (complete with obligatory "Look"): "Look, he's hit a lot of home runs. Put it this way: If the steroids (controversy) were not an issue, he would definitely be a first-round selection to the Hall of Fame. How the writers treat it ... I think my opinion means very little. "Is he a Hall of Famer? I would probably think that down the road he will be a Hall of Famer. Maybe not in the first few ballots, but people tend to forget, and rightfully so."
ESPN piece about whether the Cubs made a mistake not signing Joe Girardi. In my opinion, we might not have made the playoffs in 2007 and 2008 with him at the helm instead of Piniella, but we would be in a better place this season and beyond. Given that we didn't have any success in the playoffs, I'd probably prefer that alternate universe to our own.
I hope you all still can appreciate the humor from The Onion, after a tough day.

To help you find the jewelry that's absolutely perfect for your wedding day, we offer each of our jewelry pieces in your choice of four finishes. With Tejani, you never have to worry that a bracelet or necklace might have exactly the design you're looking for but doesn't come in the right finish!
Not sure whether gold, silver, antique silver, or antique gold wedding jewelry is the right choice for you? Here are some tips for selecting the finish that's perfect for you on your wedding day.
The Choice: Gold Wedding Jewelry or Silver Wedding Jewelry
Our first tip: shopping for your wedding jewelry should be a fun and exciting experience, so don't let yourself stress about it. Ultimately, the cardinal rules are to choose jewelry pieces that complement your gown and that you love. Simple enough, right?
Using Your Gown to Guide You
Since your gown is the central piece of your wedding ensemble, you can use it to help you choose your bridal jewelry. When it comes to selecting a gold or silver jewelry finish, the color of your wedding dress can be the ideal guide. As you shopped for wedding gowns, you probably discovered the vast array of shades of white; now that knowledge can help you match your white to shades of gold and silver.
A bright white gown often is best paired with silver or antique silver jewelry. The bright, clear color of this type of dress will be beautifully complemented by the silver wedding jewelry, creating a fresh, sophisticated look.
Ivory wedding gowns can be lovely with both silver and gold wedding jewelry. With this color of dress, think about the type of bridal look you'd like to create. If you're thinking of a warm color scheme, gold or antique gold wedding jewelry is the way to go. To "cool down" and modernize an ivory gown, consider silver jewelry instead.
The color and richness of a champagne-colored wedding gown will be brought out magnificently if paired with gold bridal jewelry. Gowns that already incorporate some metallic elements, such as decorative silver stitching or gold-toned beading, will likely look best matched with jewelry of a similar finish.
Tejani bridal jewelry is artfully designed to help you bring your wedding vision to life. Explore our pieces – you'll find our entire collection here at Tejani.com – and find the silver or gold wedding jewelry that you've been dreaming of.

St. Marys Driven. Loyal. Upright. Passionate. Proud Canadian. Humble. These are words commonly attributed to journalist Bob Elliott by players, fans and colleagues from coast to coast, and both north and south of the 49th parallel.
The accomplished author and Sun baseball columnist, who would much rather see his name in the byline than in any headline, was named the Jack Graney Award winner today by the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame, an honour presented just 12 times in the 24 years since its inception, to a representative of the media who has made a significant contribution to the game of baseball to Canada through their life`s work. Elliott will be formally presented his award at on June 18th at the 2011 Induction Ceremony.
The description of the award`s criteria barely scratches the surface of Elliott, who publishes an annual list of Canada`s top 100 most influential baseball people, yet many would argue that he could easily be number one on the list.
The Kingston, Ontario native was born in 1949 on September 10th, a birth date that seems appropriately shared by Roger Maris and Joey Votto. He followed his highly-achieved father and grandfather`s steps both athletically and academically, and was planning on continuing the Elliott family trek to Queen`s University when the young second baseman who couldn`t hit the curve ball was offered a full-time position to write sports for the Kingston Standard in March of 1966.
The legend was born.
Elliott, who recently finished as the bridesmaid for the third consecutive year in the voting for the National Baseball Hall of Fame`s prestigious J.G. Taylor Spink Award, began writing for Ottawa-area newspapers for a decade before his first Major League game assignment came along, which was the Montreal Expos 1978 home opener.
"The Mets won 3-2, Skip Lockwood got the win, Rudy May took the loss, and Tom Grieve homered," quite easily and not surprisingly recalled Elliott from his Mississauga home where he lives with his wife Claire.
He joined the Sun newspaper chain as the Blue Jays beat writer in 1987 and covered his 33rd consecutive Opening Day in 2010 when the the Texas Rangers hosted the Blue Jays.
As good a reporter and news breaker as Elliott has been in the major league world, it is his passion, his borderline obsession, with Canadian players that he is best known for, and the Canadian baseball family will remain forever grateful for his spotlighting of so many unsung accomplishments from the grass roots to the minor leagues.
Elliott has chronicled countless incredible stories at the community, provincial, national and international level, and somehow keeps abreast of not only how many Canadians are playing in the USA on scholarships, but how they are doing! He has now established a website, http://www.canadianbaseballnetwork.com, that tracks top Canadian candidates for the draft, Canadians in college, Canadians in the minor leagues, Team Canada updates, and everything in-between.
"Ìn 1998 there were 66 Canadians in the minors - today there are well over a hundred, and another fifty-plus on independent professional teams. In 2000 there were 490 kids playing in US colleges - today there are more than seven hundred," stated Elliott.
"I see how hard our players work and they work as hard as hockey guys back when I covered the Ottawa '67s, yet they get little recognition. The landscape is changing now with Shi Davidi of Canadian Press and John Lott of the National Post also writing about Canadians."
Toronto Star baseball guru Richard Griffin doubles as the president of the Toronto chapter of the Baseball Writers of America, who nominated Elliott for the Spink Award. In his letter to Cooperstown, Griffin says: "Bob has been an ongoing positive influence on an entire country for the past 25 years and counting. Never has there been more Canadian college players, Canadian minor league players and as many contributing major leaguers from the Great White North than in the past decade and it's guaranteed every one of those players, their parents and coaches have reached out at one time or other for advice and counsel from Bob Elliott."
Elliott has also written three books, including the best seller "Hard Ball" about George Bell in 1990, "The Ultimate Blue Jays Trivia Book" in 1993 , and "The Northern Game: Baseball The Canadian Way" in 2005, with the forward by fellow Kingston native Don Cherry.
In his brief transition from questioner to answerer, Elliott revealed the following insights:
He attributes his passion for baseball to his father, and because he considers baseball to be the fairest game of all.
"In the NHL, teams would shadow Yvan Cournoyer. No one holds Votto's bat when he swings or pushes Ryan Dempster when he gets to his balance point. It`s all about pitcher versus hitter."
Elliott`s favourite players are hot corner icons Eddie Mathews, George Brett and Scott Rolen, because he feels that third base is a premium position that too often gets overlooked. Buck Rodgers was the best manager Elliott ever covered. Coaches Larry Bearnarth and Galen Cisco taught him more about the game than any others.
The most quotable players Elliott dealt with were Steve Rogers and Jack Morris.
"Neither one of them ever used a cliché," Elliott explained.
"I`ll never forget what Rogers said during the 1981 strike, when 21 of 26 teams were claiming to have lost money. Rogers said, `Who are you going to believe, a bunch of millionaires or 600 guys who started off making five hundred bucks a month? One owner owns a team because his father did. What did he work for?`"
The players with the most character that Elliott has encountered include Jerry White, Woody Fryman, Wallace Johnson, Todd Stottlemyre, Pat Borders and Devon White.
"They`re all stand-up guys who had struggles, overcame them, and got the best out of their abilities."
Ellis Valentine is the player who Elliott most would have enjoyed seeing extend his career.
David Eckstein is another player Elliott admires because he made his university team as a walk-on, was cut by the Red Sox, and still went on to play ten years in the big leagues.
When asked to explain how Canada has produced three MVP`s in the past 13 years, when it had never occurred before Walker`s award in 1997, Elliott credits Greg Hamilton`s Canadian Junior National Team program, particularly when he began taking the team to compete in Latin America each Spring.
"And beyond Walker, Morneau and Votto, top prospects like Adam Loewen, Jeff Francis, Phillippe Aumont, Brett Lawrie, Kellin Deglan, Scott Thorman, James Paxton and Kyle Lotzkar all blossomed while playing for Team Canada," Elliott added.
"Ìt has also been significant to see ex-pros like Jeff Zimmerman, Chris Reitsma, Paul Quantrill, Jason Dickson, Larry Walker, and Mike Johnson getting involved in the program."
"But those players did arrive on Team Canada by accident. The great run Canada is currently having is also attributable to coaches like Doug Mathieson, Bill Green, John Harr, Rick Johnston and Bob Smyth."
Elliott`s favourite baseball moments?
"There are two. First, seeing my son Bobby`s first homerun. Secondly, the World Baseball Classic in 2006. Case Field, Phoenix. Canada 8, Team USA 6. Team USA had four or five future Hall-of-Famers, but we took it to `em. It was like being there for Paul Henderson's goal," Elliott reminisced.
Family matters to Elliott, the proud father of two. His son Bobby is an accountant, and his daughter Alicia is an account manager for a fashion magazine.
"My parents would be proud of me today, and that means a great deal to me," said Elliott, whose parents died within six months of each other in 1970.
"When I made the jump into sports writing, my dad made me promise that I would not become like the guy in 1941 who left Ted Williams off an MVP ballot because he didn`t like him. I still remember in 1995 when I was filling out my MVP ballot, and I moved a player from second to sixth because I thought he was a jerk. Then I remembered what my father told me and I moved him back to second. You should try to judge players by what they do, not the way they treat you."
Elliott`s view of the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame?
"The Hall has branded itself extremely well over the past decade, continues to gain respectability, and is talked about in all baseball circles. The Canadian baseball community would love to see the museum expand into the vacated school that they are considering, which would bring it to the level it deserves, like the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto. I think the future of the Hall will be determined by its ability to bring in teams and kids for camps and tournaments."
On top of everything else, Elliott has been coaching baseball since he can remember, from Pee Wee to Senior.
He witnessed first-hand his father`s Kingston Lakeview Indians beating the Orillia Majors to win the 1967 OBA championship. He had caught the baseball bug and the fever hasn`t passed.
The Jack Graney Award is a lifetime achievement award, and while it is hoped that Bob Elliott`s best days still lie ahead of him, and that there are another thousand Canadians between the white lines that the columnist will write about in the future, the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame and the Canadian baseball family all recognize that he has already easily surpassed what it takes to justify writing his name, permanently, on the Jack Graney trophy.

1987 - Neil MacCarl - Toronto Star
1988 - Milt Dunnell - Toronto Star
1990 - Austin "Dink" Carroll - Montreal Gazette

Note: Jack Graney's road to the big leagues began in St. Thomas, Ontario, where he was born and recommended to the Chicago Cubs by fellow Canadian Baseball Hall-of-Famer, Bob Emslie. After a season in the Cubs organization, Graney was sold to the Cleveland, where he would evolve into a steady, dependable outfielder. His big league resume boasts a number of firsts. When Graney walked to the plate in a game against the Red Sox on July 11, 1914, he became the first batter to face Babe Ruth. Almost two years later, on June 26, 1916, he would be the first major leaguer to bat wearing a number on his uniform. A scrappy leadoff hitter, Graney would lead the American League in walks twice (1917 and 1919) and in doubles once (1916). The speedy Canuck also finished in the top 10 in triples in 1913 and 1916, with 12 and 14 three-baggers respectively. He was also a member of the World Series-winning Indians squad in 1920.
Following his playing career, Graney became the first ex-player to make the transition to the broadcast booth, performing radio play-by-play for the Indians from 1932 to 1953.

This was the kind of game I was looking for. The Steelers jump on top of the Browns and never let them come up for air. This officiating crew actually let the guys play. Then again maybe that's because they didn't have too many tough calls to make. Regardless, this is how you want to enter the post season. Backing in like the Chiefs is not the way.
Anyhow, let's get this party started right. Let's get this party started quickly...right. Set it of on the left y'all. Set if off I suggest y'all. Locked and loaded.
1. Ben: He did it all. He threw long and threw short. He threw intermediate. He ran. Ok he does that a lot, but I like the fact that he trusts his receivers. He's using Wallace as a deep threat and a YACman.
2. Wallace: Someone compared him to Wilie Gault. Wallace is better than Gault ever was and he's only in his second year. I get the speed relation, but Gault didn't have Wallace's hands. By the way he finished 5th in the league with 1257 yards. Last of all, he and Ben have hooked up for more 40+ TDs in team history (in just 2 years).
3. Ward: Before you form your lips to say it, think again. He is still the crafty veteran. He will show up in the playoffs. He very likely may be the difference in one of the games. I see him making plays on the running game and he made plays in the passing game.
4. Brown: Electric. He went to the sideline on a kick return that I think he could have gotten a lot more on, but every time he touches the ball he squeezes yardage out of the play.
5. ARE: Gadgetman. He can do so many things. I just wish they wouldn't have used that play in THIS game. That is, unless they have something else they run from it.
6. Dwyer: Would like to have more of him since this was a blowout. He was just getting his legs, but there wasn't enough game left.
7. Redzone: Every time they throw on first down inside the 10 (especially when they are up big) I get irritated. On the same note; why not run the ball more late in the game instead of all of that passing? Granted it came out 32 ( I think) passes to 30 runs, but 41-9 it should have been heavier on the run side.
8. Keisel: Look at his stat-line. It doesn't tell the whole story, but the splash plays it includes gives you an idea.
9. Timmons: I think he's so fast that people can't see that it's him making the tackle. One reason it's easy to miss his tackles is he has improved greatly in filling the hole.
10. Ziggy: Emerging. Eating up linemen, getting push and allowing the linebackers to get it done.
11. Sylvester: This dude can fly. Once again I wish we could have seen more of the back ups.
12. Troy: I'm glad he made that play, but I really didn't want him to play. Then after the pedal was to the metal, it started to make me nervous that he was still in there.
13. Defense: Finished 1st in Run Dee by a large margin and second to only San Diego in Total Dee by 5.2 yards a game. They gave up only 232 points this year (best in the league) for an average of 14.5 per game. They had the most sacks in the league with 48 and their 21 INTs were good enough for a tie for 5th with the Bears.
14. Myron Cope: I miss that guy.
15. This one is yours: I'm trying to ease my way back into work.....

For those who lived in the area in 1979, it's tough to forget the efforts of Dr. Harold Denton during the worst commercial nuclear accident in the history of the United States.
Denton, who worked for the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, spoke at Penn State Harrisburg. He says communication was a problem back then when the local phone system crashed.
"We found one federal agency that had what would be called a cell phone," said Denton, "but it was called a walkie-talkie."
Denton is now 78. He says he remembers what happed at Three Mile Island like it was yesterday.
"They say you can remember what is traumatic," said Denton, "It was traumatic, and I can still remember the conversations with the governor and the President."
Denton was responsible for giving President Jimmy Carter and Governor Dick Thornburgh daily updates.
Thornburgh recently called Denton a hero for creating a sense of calm during a tense time in the region.

If he didn't do anything why not keep him? he stayed out of trouble for a while. The guy is getting heat for doing something anybody would that have sisters. I don't blame him for trying to protect his family from a criminal. Just last year a home owner where I live killed a burglar in his home and went to jail. It doesn't sound like Talib went looking for trouble. But we will see.
Yea Id actually keep him if we signed Nnamdi. Have Barber play the nickel. Nasty.
Quote from: BucBalla85 on April 16, 2011, 02:11:02 PMYea Id actually keep him if we signed Nnamdi. Have Barber play the nickel. Nasty.That would be SCARY good.
Pretty sure pistol whipping an unarmed man is still against the law

The Education Choice and Competition Index
The Brookings Institution released The Education Choice and Competition Index, which evaluates "thirteen categories of policy and practice that are important to the availability and quality of choice and to the competition created by choice among providers of education services."
Of the 107 largest school districts in the nation, Wake County was the top North Carolina district. Wake was tied for 15th with a C+ grade. Both Charlotte-Mecklenburg (T-22) and Winston-Salem/Forsyth (T-22) received Cs. Cumberland (T-95) and Guilford (98) schools received Fs.
Two districts in Louisiana, Recovery District and Orleans Parish, and New York City received an A. Loudoun County, VA had the lowest score.

With the offseason starting, it's never too early to start talking about trade possibilities! Lets take a close look at some of the possibilities on the horizon. Who better to talk about first than the Dolphins? With Parcells coming in to kick ass and clean house, we know the Tuna is going to be hungry to make some moves. What's available? What do we need and what are some possibilities both the obvious and the interesting.
So, the Browns need a defensive lineman. Particularly a DE. Who do the Dolphins have at DE that we could use? How about Jason Taylor.
Some background on Taylor, he agreed to a six-year, $45 million contract in March of 2004. He has played well in the four years since, including this year, still one of the few bright spots on the team. He'll have two years left on his contract heading into next year and he'll be 34 year old next season. What would you give up to have Taylor in a Browns uniform? What about just a 2nd rounder? Would they take it? Clears some cap space for them and gives them extra pick for the future. He isn't getting any younger. If not, what else would they take? Brady Quinn? That's maybe too much. What about DA in a sign and trade for Tailor? Still too much.
So lets talk about the first pick in the draft. MEGATRADE! We bet you Romeo Crennel and DA in a sign in trade for the first pick in the draft? Does the Tuna raise, probably, but it's an interesting question. It's an interesting question because all signs point to this being a weak draft class. And who would we take with the first pick? Glenn Dorsey? That fits I guess.
And finally, how about a MEGAMEGA trade. We bet Romeo Crennel, DA or Quinn, and Cribbs for the first pick, Jason Taylor, and Ted Ginn Jr, do you raise? All the possibilities, if I was a GM, I'd spend every second on the phone.

Candela in the Wind-------
Candela's Gabriela Perezutti is a master multitasker. Having been raised on a ranch in Uruguay, Perezutti—a former model, as well as a mother of twins—not only designs her laid-back contemporary clothing range but also runs one of her family's estancias, maintaining over eighty horses from five thousand miles away. The two aren't completely disconnected—in fact, the former has a hand in inspiring the latter. Perezutti launched Candela (which means "light" in Spanish) in 2004, after seeing a gritty 1971 photograph of her mother riding a bucking bronco. The photo now hangs in Perezutti's Soho studio, alongside other vintage family snapshots that serve as reminders of her gaucho roots—roots that have a notable influence on her collections. "I always do the [gaucho] reference, but not in an obvious way. I balance romantic, soft things with pieces that have a rustic edge to them, so the look isn't too precious. Styling is important in that sense," she said at a preview of her new Resort 2014 collection, which debuts here on Style.com. Continue Reading "Candela in the Wind" »

Council to re-apply for Fairtrade status (From Enfield Independent)

Council to re-apply for fairtrade status at first cabinet meeting since the election
Updated 3:49pm Thursday 26th June 2014 in News By Charlie Peat
Making Enfield a Fairtrade borough is high on the agenda for its new leaders.
Enfield Borough Council's new cabinet is set to re-register to be a Fairtrade borough when it meets for the first time tonight.
The authority first applied in 2007 but participation dropped during the following years.
The council did not reapply for re-accreditation in 2012 but the Fairtrade Foundation has given it a period of grace to lodge a new application.
A report to cabinet says reapplying will come at little direct cost but the council must agree to provide Fairtrade teas and coffee in the future.
The authority must also set up a Fairtrade Flagship employer to promote fair-trade and has agreed that Christian Action Housing will take on that mantle.
New cabinet members Rohini Simbodyal, ward councillor for Jubilee and Bowes Councillors Yasemin Brett, and Alan Sitkin will sit for the first time tonight.
The meeting will also discuss the next steps in the billion pound Meridian Water project.

NBC (Mobile, AL)-For the second time in a week, a powerful tornado touched down in Mobile leaving a swath of downed power lines and debris in its wake.
More than 23,000 residents of Mobile are without power, and across the state more than 27,000 are in the dark today.
Officials say the tornado was on the ground for about a mile or two.
Fire and rescue crews went door-to-door checking for injuries, and so far, three fatalities have been reported.
According to the National Weather Service, thirty-four tornadoes were reported throughout the Southeast. The storm is now moving toward the Northeast where post holiday travelers are facing flight delays and weather warnings.

'High School Musical' breaks free from status quo, starts something new
Dominic Baez
News Editor
"I've always wanted my life to be a musical; this is pretty close," junior Justin Roisom said. He is participating in the Gallery Theater's production of Disney's "High School Musical."
"High School Musical" is a story about a popular jock and a sweet intellectual who discover their love for singing and each other. The plot falls into a high school cliché, dealing with status quos, love and the oh-so-important championship basketball game.
Roisom and juniors Jasmine Klauder and Brittney Hoskisson are playing lead roles in the production: Roisom as Ryan Evans, Klauder as Sharpay Evans and Hoskisson as Gabriella Montez.
Tryouts were in early February. Though practices were slow at first, two and a half hours, four nights a week, Roisom and Klauder both said they are feeling the strain now that rehearsals are going full-swing at four hours a night, six days a week.
"It was always a little difficult," Klauder said. "It is starting to get harder now, and it's hard to manage my time. But we have a great director (who) is willing to work with us."
The production is directed by Adam Ewing, who is making his debut at the Gallery Theater.
Roisom said acting in this type of play is something he has wanted to do for a long time, though the opportunity had never presented itself before. Klauder has been in involved with singing and acting since she was young.
"This was a great way to get involved in the McMinnville community in a different way," she said. "I wanted to do some acting in college, but sports (made) it
Both had to sacrifice participating in track and field this year, but they said they were given new experiences, which was a fair tradeoff.
This was Roisom's first show, and he said he did not know what to expect when rehearsals began.
"It's been a brand new experience," he said. "(Klauder and I) started watching the movie before we tried out. We even memorized the dance to 'We're All in This Together' by rewinding and pausing it a million times."
Klauder, Hoskisson and Roisom are among the oldest actors in the play, with the majority of the cast still in high school.
"At least we have each other," Roisom said. "It's hard to relate when they are all younger than you. I think they thought we were intimidating."
With opening night right around the corner and rehearsals winding down, both are ready to demonstrate their newly memorized lines and choreographed dances for friends and family.
"I am excited for the show in general," Klauder said. "And for people I know to come and watch and for them to see a different side of me."
The rest of the cast includes Jesus Gomez as Troy Bolton, Nick Quinteros, playing Chad Danforth and Jaimie Myer playing Taylor McKessie.
Tickets are now on sale and cost $15 for general admission, $13 for students and seniors. Seating is reserved.
The theater's box office is open Tuesday through Friday, noon to 6 p.m. The first show is May 2.
"We're ready to rock and roll," Roisom said. "Everybody needs to come."

We recently had an opportunity to speak with Brad Teed, Chief Technology Officer at GimmalSoft, the software product division of the Houston-based ECRM consultancy, Gimmal Group* about his company's development of a native SharePoint 2010 records management solution that the company plans to submit for DoD 5015.2 certification testing later this year.
SPRM: Brad, thanks for speaking with us today.
Brad: My pleasure.
SPRM: DoD 5015.2 certification of any records management application is extremely difficult. In fact, it's our experience that most vendors significantly underestimate the amount of effort required for certification. Why did GimmalSoft decide to take on DoD certification for native SharePoint 2010 records management?
Brad: It was an obvious next step in our company evolution. Gimmal Group employs some of the sharpest minds in the Enterprise Content and Records Management industry today. We also have a great foundation of expertise in SharePoint development at GimmalSoft, particularly with SharePoint 2010.
Add to that our unique relationship with the Microsoft SharePoint ECRM development team in Redmond – which goes back several years – and we felt like it was a very easy decision to make.
SPRM: But why attempt DoD certification? Why not just focus on out-of-the-box SharePoint 2010 records management functionality?
Brad: We listened to the market and our customers. They clearly expressed a need for DoD certification to validate the records management capabilities of SharePoint 2010 before they could feel comfortable managing their records repositories in a pure SharePoint environment.
This is not to suggest there isn't a tremendous amount of excellent records management functionality in out-of-the-box SharePoint 2010, because there is. And we are leveraging most of it as we develop our solution, the GimmalSoft Compliance Suite.
But the DoD 5015.2 has really become the global benchmark for records management applications. In fact, we found that many of our customers are using SharePoint to manage the vast majority of their content, but are still maintaining expensive ECRM applications on the backend simply because those applications are DoD certified. We believe that is a costly and unnecessary burden our customers shouldn't have to bear.
We also found our customers want the additional records management features required by the DoD Standard that aren't included in SharePoint 2010.
SPRM: Such as?
Brad: Well, it's actually a long list, but I'll give you some examples off the top of my head.
The Standard requires true email records management functionality that allows for the management of emails and their attachments – both together and separately – based on their content. Just like any other record. Our customers desperately want this type of functionality and the GSCS will provide it.
Over half of our typical customer's retention and disposition schedules are event-based, meaning some event must occur to trigger the start of a record's retention period. SharePoint 2010 provides some basic capabilities to handle event-based retention, but this functionality needed to be enhanced to meet the stringent requirements of the standard. The DoD Standard has a number of fairly complicated requirements for managing records using event-based retention. Our solution will meet those requirements and, in some cases, exceed them.
Our customers also tell us they want to be able to dispose of records in a manner that they know ensures that the records aren't recoverable. This is particularly important to our customers in the Public sector, as well as our customers who manage a lot of Personally Identifiable Information. Unfortunately, given that SharePoint stores records in a database, this is not a simple task. The GSCS will allow for the complete, unrecoverable destruction of records at the end of their lifecycle and DoD will verify this as part of the certification testing process.
Then there's the Vital Records Review component, something that will appeal to any organization interested in continuity of operations.
There's the Bulk Processing feature which will allow our customers to process multiple tasks, such as records disposition, in bulk, rather than go through the tedious procedure of processing each record separately.
There's also record transfer functionality, enhanced search features, container-based hold functionality, parallel disposition processing, access constraining columns, supplemental marking security features…I could go on?
SPRM: Ha! No thanks, I think we get the picture.
Brad: The really significant thing about all this functionality is we will wrap most of the these new features up in a single component, the File Plan Builder, that will serve as the primary user interface for the organization's Records Management staff. Here's what it looks like:
SPRM: Microsoft released their own DoD certified solution for MOSS 07. How will your solution compare to the MOSS 07 Resource Kit?
Brad: The MOSS 07 Resource Kit was a nice application and it certainly enhanced the records management features that were native to MOSS 07. But we feel like there were a number of areas that made the MOSS 07 Resource Kit challenging to implement because of the design. We're learning from the design of the MOSS 07 Resource Kit, understanding what worked, what didn't and taking advantage of SharePoint 2010 capabilities that didn't exist in MOSS to make the GimmalSoft Compliance Suite a better experience.
SPRM: You're talking about the MOSS 07 Resource Kit's all-or-nothing configuration?
Brad: For starters, yes. If your organization implemented the MOSS 07 Resource Kit, you were forced to implement every feature in it. So you would have to deploy features in your records management environment that your organization may not need or ever expect to use. This meant the Resource Kit cost much more in terms of maintenance and overhead than was necessary.
The GSCS is being designed to allow our customers to leverage the new records management features that only apply to their method of records management and leave out other features they don't care to implement.
Don't have a records 'cutoff' stage in your information lifecycle? Don't implement it. Don't need the added security of Supplemental Markings or Access Control Columns? Don't use it. The GSCS will offer a tremendous amount of flexibility in how it's implemented.
SPRM: How else will it differ from the MOSS 07 Resource Kit?
Brad: Well, frankly, the overall records management functionality will see significant improvement. And this isn't just because GimmalSoft has made some fundamental design changes compared to the Resource Kit, it's also due to the fact that SharePoint 2010 has made huge strides in its native records management functionality with some great new features like the Content Organizer, Managed Metadata and the service oriented architecture. The GSCS will take full advantage of all of this new technology.
The biggest challenge of the MOSS 07 Resource Kit was it lacked a supported set of functionality. Once you implemented it, you were on your own. We believe this prevented adoption in most organizations and agencies. GimmalSoft will provide full support for the GSCS, so our customers can feel complete confidence in deploying it.
SPRM: Terrific. When do you expect to test for DoD certification?
Brad: We are currently on track to complete certification testing during the second quarter of this year.
SPRM: Great, please keep us posted on your progress.
Brad: We will. In the meantime, your readers can see a prerelease demonstration of the GimmalSoft Compliance Suite at the AIIM Info360 Conference and Expo in Washington, DC later this month. Check out the GimmalSoft website for details.

Note: I haven't a shred of dislike for the Red Sox, so please don't think this is a biased post meant to disparage the Red Sox. Rather, think of it as a plea for you all to savor every moment of this season, and enjoy the fun while it lasts. Please, take the time to read this and leave me a comment!
Well folks, we've reached the magical time of year known as Soxtober. I know you're all as excited as I am. I can see big things happening this season.
Unfortunately, mankind, especially those of the sports community, are quite a pessimistic bunch. Not one to miss an opportunity to conform, I took some time to contemplate the framework of next season's team, and established that it is not going to be quite the same team we've had the pleasure of watching here.
So, let's take a look at some things that are going to go on in the offseason.
The Good News:
Intact Rotation
Elite Closer
Multiple returning veterans
The Bad News:
Intact Rotation
Weak Bullpen
Many of the key pieces set to, and likely to, leave.
"What?", you say? Yes. An intact rotation is both a strength in weakness. There's an obvious strength in that this team's chemistry was something to be envied; any amount of turnover is a great one.
But while all of the pitchers in the starting rotation have seen flashes of brilliance, each has a significant weakness. For Jon Lester, it's long periods of inconsistency. Clay Buchholz, weakness/low pain tolerance. John Lackey, road ineptitude. Peavy, start-to-start inconsistency, diminished velocity. Felix Doubront, that pesky 160 inning wall.
No, I'm not forgetting somebody, bear with me.
Let's weigh pitching for a moment.
Predicted Rotation:
Jon Lester, LHP
Clay Buchholz, RHP
John Lackey, RHP
Jake Peavey, RHP
Felix Doubront, LHP
Predicted Bullpen
Ryan Dempster, LR
Franklin Morales, MR
Craig Breslow, SU
Junichi Tazawa, SU
Koji Uehara, C
As you can see, there's a glaring hole in MR, and another possible MR/SU guy. I don't expect to see many of the guys we saw this year. However, I believe Morales, if he can stay healthy, will be a fantastic weapon. Breslow, if he can continue to be quietly dominant, will be great in the setup role. Taz, however, is where it gets interesting.
If we see the same issues with Junichi Tazawa that we saw this year, I could see him dropping to middle relief and having Morales move to the 8th inning.
"Ryan Dempster as a long reliever, you say? John Farrell specifically said that he wouldn't be." Yeah, well, the offices said that Jose Iglesias was the shortstop of the future. And he is... just not where we thought. Things change.
Now I would agree that paying nearly $14 million for a long reliever is ludicrous, and a trade to a low-mid level NL team could be effective and realistic.
That, however, would follow the one egregious oversight that has been consistent amongst fans this season. You cannot forget that this team is not built on talent.
Which brings us to next year's lineup...
Now, I love a great lineup as much as the next guy, and this year's Sox have provided us with just that.
But then, when you take a deeper look at this lineup, you notice something...
"What? Stephen Drew? Will Middlebrooks? A .240 average isn't acceptable. Something isn't right here..."
Stephen Drew has provided extremely underrated defense (8 errors all year) and WMB's Isolated Power is hilariously high. Yes, they've contributed to this team in different ways.
But let's be realistic. Look at these two players' offensive WAR. The Red Sox had the most prolific offense in baseball this year, with two barely above average offensive players in there.
This is the benefit of having a lineup with 6 players all around the .300 mark. (Ells, Vic, Pedey, Papi, Nava, Carp)
So there's been a large call for change here. Now, I'm a big Drew guy. Love him as a player. And he's gonna be wearing a red jersey next year...
..,only it'll have a bird on it.
Taking this all into account, let's look at Free Agent Departures (okay, I lied, that last segment wasn't on next year's lineup quite yet):
Jacoby Ellsbury. I'm sorry guys. I have an enormous man crush on Mr. Ellsbury. I love him as a player, and he's gorgeous. But realistically, this team is not going to dish out the contract this guy wants, especially since he contributes absolutely nothing to the character of this clubhouse. In fact, he may be a detriment, in that he plays for himself only.
Mike Napoli. If I had said this a month or two back when he was striking out in, oh, approximately 1403% of his at-bats, there wouldn't be too much tumult. But now that he's hit his stride again, and the news that he has a fairly serious foot injury that is a big detriment to baseball players has garnered some sympathy, it seems that Nap's a fan favorite again. Take that into account, along with the fact that he is one of the biggest character guys in Boston, and this will prove a costly loss.
Their replacements? This is where it gets fun.
This is a Red Sox office that wants to create the team of the future, the next great Red Sox team. And we all know what that means...
The entire Pawtucket lineup gets to start next year!
...okay, so it's not quite that dramatic...
But Ellsbury is going to be succeeded, unfortunately, by Jackie Bradley Jr. I say unfortunately because while JBJ is a great talent, he's really not ready to be here. Granted, his defense is fantastic, his baserunning instincts are fantastic, and his hitting has been much better as of late. But he's still raw. He's not going to hit .300, and he's most certainly not going to steal 52 bags with a 90+% success rate, nor any semblance of that.
First base? Say hello to Jose Dariel Abreu, kiddies. There are problems with going from Nap to Abreu. These would include going from the statistically best defensive 1B in the American League and a proven hitter who is also extremely clutch, powerful, and fun to be around to a player whose fielding is an enormous liability, is unproven facing Major League pitching, and has no previous indication that he can be successful at the ML level, despite his gaudy numbers in other leagues.
So, let's take a REAL look at the 2014 lineup!
Shane Victorino, RF (note: I originally typed RG as Shanf's position. I missed the NFL.)
Dustin Pedroia, 2B
Daniel Nava, LF (I expect another Nava/Gomes platoon with occasional Carpage, however Nava is the guy)
David Ortiz, DH
Jose Dariel Abreu, 1B
Jarrod Saltalamacchia (Don't kid yourselves. This guy loves Boston. Isn't going anywhere. Know what? Good.)
Will Middlebrooks, 3B (If he doesn't get back into the .300 hitter we saw after his return from the minors, I want him out)
Jackie Bradley Jr., CF
Xander Bogaerts, SS (Yeah... let's take a look at his average ever since his first home run. Not positive, but strong feeling that it may be .000 with a 100% whiff rate)
So look at this lineup. Kids galore, a fresh face smack in the middle, and tumult up top.
Yeah, I'm not too confident that this team can succeed at the rate this year's team did.
The big character guys on this year's team are Nap, Gomes, Peavy, Ross, Demp, Shanf and Drew (both supremely underrated in their clubhouse contributions.)
Welp, in this realistic scenario, Nap and Drew are out, possibly Demp. That's a big chunk of the core of character that made this team.
Tl;Dr (to which I wouldn't for a second blame you... got a little carried away):
Don't expect a 97 win team next year. Too many issues, and too much ignorance of the fact that character made this team what it is.
That said, go Sox, forever and always. I hope to see you all sporting your Soxtober gear come the Fall Classic.

Original owner reunites with '65 Mustang Convertible at auction
Nearly five decades after Leon Fake bought a brand new 1965 Ford Mustang GT, the Silver Blue convertible is back in his garage thanks to the Auctions America by RM Spring Carlisle auction in Carlisle, Pennsylvania. Fake was one of several bidders chasing the '65 Mustang Convertible, and fortunately he came out the winner with a final sale price of $34,100.
"I put 85,000 miles on this Mustang and sold it," said Fake. "I tried to buy it back a few years ago for $30,000, but the owner wouldn't let it go. It's a good thing the bidding stopped when it did, because I was at my limit."
The A-code Mustang GT convertible is finished in Silver Blue with complementary two-tone blue interior and white top, and a white triple-stripe on the lower body matched that of the Ford GT40 race car competing at the time. Under the hood is a 289-cid, 225-hp V-8 engine with a four-barrel carburetor and mated to a four-speed manual transmission. The car also has the GT equipment group that includes five-dial instrument cluster, GT badging, hood accent molding, front disc brakes, fog lamps and dual exhaust with flared chrome extensions. Other options on the Mustang include the factory full-length floor console, radio, whitewall tires and Rally Pac comprised of tachometer and clock.
