i mean, we did this already.
buttercreamdicks explained this
and as a certified queer guy with a boyfriend and close male friends - both straight and queer - i am pretty comfortable saying that if the only circumstances in which you can envision physical and emotional intimacy between men, affection between men, jokes and caring and banter and closeness between men, openness between men, and so forth, of the kind on display in the relationships between any of these band members (but specifically louis and harry) are circumstances that are necessarily sexual ones, then you are part of the problem.
loving someone is not always the same thing as being in love with them which is not always the same thing as wanting to bone them.
gender expression is not the same thing as sexual orientation.
people are complicated and wonderful creatures.
like, unironically, there is a reblog of that other post saying
im one of those, want respect? give respect. when he comes out, and honey HE WILL, i wont be hating but sure as hell i wont be backing him up
tagged "#douchebag", i.e. louis
the same blog has a list of tags entitled "whatever you say girly boy" which is ostensibly a compilation of evidence of queerness that literally includes louis' scarf-tossing, limp-wristedness, stereotypical walking, hair flipping, etc. etc. etc.
so, in case we were wondering. according to large swaths of fandom:
there is a world of difference between being asked how you identify yourself when someone does not know, and being told by other people that how you self-identify is invalid and that they have the right to tell you what you are. there is a world of difference between asking someone "are you gay?" and telling someone "you are gay."
"i'm not, but it shouldn't matter if i was" is the optimal response for straight folks to the question "are you queer?" in the first set of circumstances. however, getting angry or frustrated over repeatedly having your autonomy and self-definition rejected is not homophobic, nor does it imply that being queer is a bad thing.
this stems from the same place as people declaring that bisexual women "aren't actually queer" or that gay guys who conform to normative masculinity are "bad gays" or etc. etc. etc.
stop it.
ETA: obviously, it is possible for people to proclaim the straightness of celebrities in ways that are homophobic and that stigmatize queerness and that sort of thing is equally shitty. but that's not what we're talking about here.
And obviously at its root, this discomfort with any behaviour or perception that one might be seen as less than normatively masculine is grounded in society's fear and hatred of women, which is the source not just of a lot of homophobia and effemiphobia, but as/more importantly the source of misogyny, transmisogyny, and prejudice directed at lesbians (lesbiphobia? i guess?), all of which can be found within the gay male community without having to look that hard.
Also, I don't want to be presumptuous or make broad sweeping statements about the 'gaybro' scene or whatever, but the concepts of 'bro' and frat-ness and normative masculinity that are at play here are unmarked but silently seem pretty likely to code racially as white as well? Maybe I'm wrong, but the tone of the article and those interviewed don't dispel that suspicion. Would welcome other folks' perspective on that, though, because I am not particularly invested/involvement in bro culture generally, and Canada has a reasonable drinking age and so doesn't /really/ do frats, so I'm even less familiar with that particular fratbro scene, let alone the different dynamics of frat/bro culture in the US across racial lines.
And I enjoyed it a lot. And Mitchell is a tool. And I like that we take four or five or six episodes to realize that. The pivot towards Jack becoming the character I empathized with more even if I identified more strongly with Mitchell was a nice narrative structure. Mitchell's self-pity and infatuation with his own intelligence/self-conception as better than other people, and general… awfulness? … is something I understand and have done/been/etc. as a defense mechanism but it's destructive and counterproductive, and he keeps doing things that ring emotionally true but are just so gross and self-deluded.
Anyway, it's significantly better than Girls and more enjoyable and more interesting (to me at least).
What it isn't is more representative. Or more universal. So while the creator of The Outs has done a better job than Lena Dunham at making clear that he's just contributing one six-episode web series about two characters, and just in general hasn't (to my knowledge) put his foot in his mouth as blatantly or as offensively as she has on matters of diversity and race and racism, if people praising this series (which I like, despite its small cast of characters and relative lack of diversity) could maybe avoid broad statements about universal appeal and that it shows 'what it's like being a gay 20something' that would be awesome?
It's about white gay 20something men who work in the creative industry/freelancing/whatever and fall broadly into the alternative/hipster/Metropolitan scene. It's a good show. It is sometimes a great show. I was surprised by the intensity of feelings a few moments provoked in me.
But don't claim that it's something it isn't, because it does a disservice both to the show itself and to the parts of the queer community that haven't yet received the (limited, yes, but) nuanced and engaging representation in media and fiction that are getting attention. It's great that Weekend and The Outs and Keep the Lights On exist, and it's great that gay film doesn't necessarily mean melodramatic coming out tragedies or Eating Out 7: The Cruise-y Cruise or whatever, but we can be psyched to have media that we relate to while being aware that this media is still pretty intensely white and UMC, and not take criticism of this media as personal attacks. (Cf. Franchesca Ramsay's comments about Girls in a recent TC Interview) And maybe find some time in between repeated viewings of The Outs to watch Pariah.
Do I believe? I don't even know what that means. I don't think it's up to me to label someone else as queer or not queer. They're queer women if they identify as such. If they do, it's certainly not for me to disbelieve them and if they don't, it's certainly not up to me to label them queer. It has been my understanding that both Angel and Azealia identify under the broad umbrella of queerness, but I'm certainly willing to be corrected.
Angel Haze, specifically, has written about and rapped about relationships with women, and spoken at length in interviews about her personal history of sexual abuse, and her same-sex relationships. She has explicitly described herself as bisexual or pansexual and has addressed that in her music since as early as her Altered Ego mixtape.
Azealia has also identified herself publicly as bisexual, and spoken about it here, notably:
So do you feel a special affection for your gay fans?
Definitely. I mean, I'm bisexual, so it makes sense. But I don't want to be that girl who says all gays necessarily hang out together, of course! I have people say to me, "Oh wow, my friend is gay, too," and I'm like, "Yeah, so?"
Which is a pretty on-point and eloquent critique of bs that we put up with as queer folks - not that she needs to demonstrate any particular experience to legitimize her identity, but I thought it was a solid response to a condescending question about 'gay fans' that a lot of female artists and queer artists get constantly.
But I am not a spokesperson for their sexualities or for the queer community and our relationship with these artists (as if we're a monolithic community) and I'm especially not a spokesperson for black queer culture and whether or not individuals from certain queer black cultures feel used or appropriated from by queer black hip hop artists who may or may not come from those particular cultural contexts. So um. Again, the best sources for answers to the question "are they queer women" are Angel and Azealia themselves and a cursory google search would have shown a bunch of quotes and articles where they discuss their sexual identity and the way that their sexual identity interacts with their music and the perception of them as artists etc. etc. etc.
Everything else re: the stance of the queer community and issues of appropriation, are something that I can't speak to or speak for. As a white cis gay men, it's really really not my place to delineate acceptable uses of queer and trans black culture.
I wasn't making any statement about whether or not it was wrong for Macklemore to make such a record. Again, I haven't spent enough time with the record to really analyse the details of his argument and whether it holds up, although trying to convey nuanced political arguments rather than lived experiences in music is always tricky. I feel like you're trying to pin me down to an answer here, and I'm not making a declarative statement because I don't think it's that simple.
I will ask what you mean about "these issues", because I think that merely by existing and being visible and taking up space and being great rappers putting out great tracks, Mykki and Le1f did a heck of a lot. Beyond that, both of them spoke about "these issues" insofar as they touched on their experiences of homophobia, offered witty and strong-willed rejoinders to those who target them with bigotry, and do so without getting preachy. Le1f threw tons of shade at homophobes, made jokes about converting them to queerness, alluded to the constant fear of gaybashing in a couple of songs, cleverly but pointedly discussed racism in the gay community and the sexual fetishization of queer men of colour, etc. etc. etc.
Angel Haze and Azealia Banks also didn't explicitly address 'political' equality messages either, but Angel writes astoundingly beautiful love raps about falling for women, and while that's not 'about these issues' it's exactly 'about these issues', you know? I think humanizing queer folks and portraying our experiences and rendering us real is an important project. It's about getting the variety of our voices out there. And it's not necessarily going to take on the form of an advocacy-type argument. But that doesn't mean it's not having an impact.
And while Azealia did have some uncomfortable biphobic and transphobic moments in a few songs, and there are debates over whether her use of ball culture was appropriative or not, she is a very visible queer rapper, and in a number of songs deploys her sexual interest in and prowess with women not as something to titillate men (as often happens in pop music) but rather as something threatening to male superiority. (i.e. from 212 to Esta Noche she is going to steal straight dudes' girlfriends.) That might not be 'addressing the issues' and it might not be a positive portrayal of queerness per GLAAD or whatever, but it's something new and aggressive and powerful.
In terms of explicitly political pro-equality messages, I suppose neither of these artists made songs that fall into that category, but there were others who were more like this, including Baltimore's DDm, who I mentioned in that previous post, and who made a concept album about the life as a gay black man, that directly addressed political issues (although perhaps not marriage equality - I forget). There were and are lots of other queer rappers out there though, beyond the ones that got national media attention in 2012, and I'd hazard that some of them were probably writing on-the-nose songs about political equality.
So, again, I'm not saying that it's wrong for Macklemore as an ally to write a pro-marriage equality rap song. I'm saying that it is symptomatic of a bunch of problematic things in our society and in the queer community and how we deal with race and sexuality and so forth that an explicitly political song by a straight white dude that (well-meaning-ly, from a place of perceived membership within the 'hip hop community') criticizes hip hop culture (read: a large segment of black American culture) for its failure to live up to the ideals of equality and the civil rights movement (from what I can remember, and at the very least this part of the song/video is pretty sketchy. I don't think it's appropriate for a white guy to appropriate the 'lessons' of the civil rights movement in order to lecture black folks about gay rights) is seen as the best and most righteous and most productive and most helpful way of advancing the cause of LGBT rights while comprehending the entire output of a broad spectrum of queer rappers of colour of various gender and sexual identities as apolitical or not addressing the issues because the 'issues' aren't framed in ways that speak the language of rights or politics or advocacy but instead speak the language of hate and love and discrimination and sex and so forth through first hand human experience.
I've only listened to 'Same Love' a couple times. I don't particularly love it, but I haven't spent enough time with it to describe what about the video or song itself is troubling and problematic.
I am troubled, as I've written about before, by the fact that in a year with a lot of visible queer rappers, a decent number of whom have rapped about issues of visibility and discrimination and so forth, and in a year when straight black rappers have advocated for and rapped about gay rights. (Murs, notably, but some other folks too) that so many (white) gay media outlets were so eager to celebrate the importance of a pro-gay rap song by a straight white man, and label it one of the most important musical moments of the year, especially given that they did so often in ways that constructed his song in opposition to an idea of 'hip hop culture' and by extension 'black culture' that was implicitly 100% bigoted and homophobic, erasing and ignoring the complicated role homophobia plays in all genres of music, all aspects of American culture, all racial communities, and marginalizing further the voices of queer people of colour, who were (and are) rarely looked to for opinions about hip hop or stories about their relationships with the genre.
So, I don't know. I think regardless of my opinions about the song itself, which I don't have fully developed, it was used in ways that reinforce a narrative in which white gay men like myself take offense at and are alienated by a cultural product that comes from a culture that they are not part of, and which we then use to castigate and shame black American culture as a whole for the perceived homophobia of hip-hop, without ever racially generalizing the homophobia present in some country music or some rock music or some aspects of whiteness and white culture in America to all (or even most) white people. It constructs a discourse of 'tolerant liberal white culture' and 'intolerant black culture' in ways that are inaccurate and harmful and counterproductive - and in ways that ignore the people who these critics claim to be concerned about - i.e. gay black people. But all of this has less to do with the song itself and more to do with how we talk and write and think about activism and rights and intersectionality and music.
For The Rumpus, I wrote about getting bullied as I grew up, the shootings of Mollie Olgin and Mary Kristene Chapa, and an increasingly ineffective LGBTQ culture/media circuit.
As I told Rohin already, I have a lot of thoughts about this, most of them to the effect of "Rohin OTM" and a few of them to the effect of, "but let's also talk about how the discourse surrounding 'bullying' plays out in different contexts and how it interacts with race and youth violence and policing" and "while we're talking about responsibility towards each other (and our failures at that) and the corporatization of pride and out-of-touch professional activists and the shift from liberation to pride, let's talk about how those things tie into the shift from 'gay liberation' to 'gay rights' and how that conception of what we're about as a movement/community links into normative relationship and family structures, gay adoption, homeless queer youth, a willingness to toss trans people and queers of colour etc. etc. etc. under the bus, and the potential downsides of the sunny narrative emerging from major urban centres directed at queer youth across the country/continent/world."
Much of which was at least gestured at by Rohin, but this is a conversation that should keep going.
I know this isn't clearly explained at all, but I'm on my phone on a bus and can't really write a big essay right now but I want to remember to do so because this stuff is important.
Most importantly for now, read Rohin's very very very awesome piece.
Odd Future fans, much like Lady Gaga fans, are angrily dismissive of any attempts to suggest that their favorite artists were elevated to their respective echelons in the music industry for any reason other than their supposedly singular talents.
Both fandoms also like telling people who don't adopt the party line to "shut up". Of course, shutting up is something we can promise we will never do—either with our serious culture crit or our casual opinionating.
(P.S. It's cool if you like Frank Ocean; we feel that his songwriting is just kinda weakly cornball and not our thing, but we trust that our readers will make up their own minds. Important thing to remember is that there's a whole bunch of awesome black R&B artists who've been out for a long time if you've been paying attention. The biggest bummer about the way FO has been covered has been the erasure of that piece of black musical history and present reality.)
I was gonna let this slide because it's like 2 weeks old, but that last bit really pissed me off. Because it is so fucking disingenuous. You got called out for outright getting facts wrong so you could put forth a narrative you invented in your head. Unable to accept that you got called out, you dismissed the criticism as the whining of OF stans. How you gonna run a call out blog and not know how to handle being called out, especially when the people taking your ass to task were black queer people? You can have your opinion, but a lot of your opinion was dumb and it got noted as such.
But the worst bit for me was the bit about "awesome black R&B artists who've been out for a long time". So the reason you, as a tumblr that supposedly stands in solidarity against racial injustice were trying to undercut an important moment for queer black people is because you felt amazing black R&B artists were being ignored? But you didn't mention even a single part of that in your original post.
Don't try to run and pretend that you were really just worried for all the unappreciated and unknown out R&B artists before him not getting any attention, because they were not even a factor in that first post and you failed to actually give them any name recognition or shine in this one too. Probably because you don't know any and couldn't be bothered with a Google search. Stop pretending you care about black queer people. We aren't pawns for bolstering your credibility.
And I reiterate, pointing out that artists backed by major labels will get a bigger push than people on labels with less money like this info is scandalous or unknown? You must be brand new.
Yeah. The amount of smugness on display among certain segments of (usually white) queer-dom in their need to make it clear that they're superior to mainstream (usually gay male) culture is often incredibly obnoxious, but the degree to which it can be grounded more in a desire to feel superior than an actually well thought through critique is revealed most often when they totally drop the ball on intersectionality. (And like, I have probably been guilty of this at times, but nonetheless, it's a really gross impulse that isn't quite about one's own marginalization and isn't really about solidarity, and this is what it looks like.)
Other hints: The co-signing of the whole weird "MCA: the one decent feminist man in all of hip hop!" thing, the approving quoting of - of all people - Rufus Wainwright, who bravely speaks out against Lady Gaga's cooption of queerness and substanceless pop music or whatever, the most extensive coverage of queer hip hop (besides posting that awesome video Dream Hampton directed) is a link to that queer swag Pitchfork article, the continued focus on 'authenticity' as a measure of music worth listening to/supporting, plus what I assume is the standard white people on the Internet reaction to anything Chris Brown related re: the Grammys (I mean, it's a throw-away comment but given the fairly shallow and/or dismissive treatment of R&B and hip hop and the weird 'authenticity' stuff that usually gets deployed against R&B more often than not, it seems doubtful that a real understanding of the racial dynamics of the CHRIS BROWN IS THE WORST HUMAN EVER party line is present.)
Oh! and the time they quote a totally on point Greg Tate critique of the racial dynamics of critical approaches to Gaga and Beyoncé only to bludgeon their critical target of choice, and then ignore any discussion of the relationship between Beyoncé's music/videos/dance and queerness (especially queer people of colour) or the actual content of Tate's quote so they can post a blithely dismissive comment about Beyoncé and Target and how this means we don't like here either.
I mean, critical discourse about pop music and pop culture is important, and there's plenty of problematic stuff about Lady Gaga, but the flip derisiveness that comes through in how they write about her is the same way that a lot of this other stuff has been spoken about (esp. the Chris Brown and Beyonce and MCA posts) and I think generally, as a white person who loves R&B and hip hop, I'm loathe to write anything too hastily about this music, which I love, without really thinking it through, because there is a landmine of bad racist assumptions and potential ways to get it totally wrong. If you're going to write queer critiques of this stuff, you owe it to yourself and your audience and most especially to the people of colour and queer people of colour you are writing about to think, and think about nuance, and make sure that you're not reinforcing really messed up ideas (even unintentionally) while trying to advance a radical (presumably white) queer agenda.
ETA: I'm not denying that people can do both serious culture critique AND casual opinionating, but that certain types of topics should not be left solely in the realm of casual opinionating because for many many people the related intersecting issues are not things that can merely be casual opinions but have really tangible impacts on their lives. And that if you can write an in-depth critique of Gaga's tactical essentialism or transphobia or capitalist whatever, you can certainly take the time to check yourself when writing about race.
If we could have a moratorium on all the patronizing discussions of how "brave" Frank Ocean was for coming out in the hip-hop community, with the implicit understanding there being that black homophobia is somehow particularly heinous, awful or egregious and so this somehow elevates the nature of his coming out, that would be great. Let's remember that it's white people who are the driving force behind many anti-gay initiatives at almost every level, from towns to the federal government. Compare the racial make up of the list of the 7 most anti-gay representatives with that of the list of the 11 most pro-gay representatives.
For all this talk about how brave he is and how hip-hop and the black community need this to be brought into the 21st century and all these expectations of backlash, the backlash never comes. When Obama and later Jay-Z announced his support for marriage equality, polls showed that black Americans were not the backwards idiots the media keeps insisting we are.
The NAACP has openly expressed the need for marriage equality. Kanye West has, well I don't really know what to call this other than Kanye being Kanye, but you get the idea. OFWGKTA, the collective of young people of color that no one could stop talking about for what felt like months due to the extreme misogynistic and homophobic nature of some of their members' lyrics, not only didn't hesitate in throwing support behind Frank Ocean, but also have now spawned two young, out, queer artists of color.
Meanwhile, Carrie Underwood is dealing with a lot of crap because she openly voiced support for marriage equality. Notice that doesn't get portrayed as white people being homophobic, it gets portrayed as country fans and/or southern and mid-western religious folks as being homophobic. But when southern religious black folks express homophobic sentiments, all that nuance and all those qualifiers disappear, they just become black folks and their bigotry becomes typical. Because white people are complex individuals and black people are a monolith. So this type of support of Frank comes off not as actual support, but as patronizing words born racism and stereotyping. If y'all could cut that out, it would be great.
It's probably in the mix. There's an irony that Gaiman is brought up as an influence on me quite a lot (which is far less true than people suspect)...
Identity-change, really. She's trying to use music as a stepping stone to becoming a new her.
What do you even do for 14 hours in a plane OMG.
You watch documentaries on pirates of the 1600's trade routes I...

Alex has yet to fill out a bio.
Peyton Manning 1-2 in the Super Bowl? Losing by 35 to the Seahawks? LOL! Peyton is a choke artist. Always has been, always will be.
Tom Brady - 3 rings and 17 playoff wins
Peyton Manning - 1 ring and 9 playoff wins
But Peyton is better, lol
You probably suck Peyton Manning's' dick. You have no football knowledge. You hate the Patriots, but never have a reason as to why. You hate Tom Brady, but you don't have a reason why. I bet you cried and bitched when Brady OUTPLAYED Manning Sunday, and how Manning could not hold a 24 point lead! And how Manning threw for what? I think 150 yards?
You really are obsessed with the Pats. Its not Pats fans fault that we have a great franchise and shitbags like you are too ignorant to see the same obnoxious fans sleeping right next door to u. You need some real mental help.
How cute, another Peyton Manning stalker...
Who is your favourite NFL player?
No problem bud.
I'm glad to see that you hate the Pats. If you aren't hated, you sure as hell aren't doing it right. Thank you so much. And please enjoy watching Manning. There is a reason why people love Manning, Steve Nash etc and hate Tom Brady, Kobe Bryant, Lebron James etc.
Ah Alex, I was waiting for the day you saw fit to comment on my work. I got a notification that you made a comment but for some reason I can't actually see it on the article...Shame.
I imagine as a Peyton fanboy you're ecstatic about Welker since he's an underneath guy and Manning can't throw more than 30 yards in the air anymore, and I don't blame you, but just remember Brady made Welker what he is today.
I was very sad to see Welker leave the Pats, but he's replaceable. I've been saying it (and writing it) all offseason, that Amendola could come in and perform just as well if not better. That being said, he's perfect for your boy Manning and I will miss him. He's a cult hero in New England and his leaving hurts on an emotional level even if it doesn't on the field
You didn't hurt my feelings, I hate the debate of Brady or Manning, who is better? They are both great quarterbacks, both hall of fame bound, both top 5 ever in my opinion. But the fact that you think Manning is so much better then Brady is ridiculous. I think Brady is better, I do, but I don't think Manning is some average quarterback, hell no, I think he is great, but in my opinion, Brady does more, wins more, and has more rings. I just don't think you give Brady credit when he deserves it. And the whole Brady has more weapons is not very valid either, I already commented on that though in the article. But you have an opinion, I have an opinion. We don't have to agree (hence me calling you an ass) but they still are opinions. I don't expect you to change yours, and I don't think you expect me to change mine.

Today, our Director of Development met a man named Alfred. Alfred is 61 years old. He is a valiant veteran of Vietnam. He is a grandfather. He is a simple man with a simple life. He was always able to take care of himself on his Veteran's disability, allotted to him because of the PTSD and depression he suffered after coming back from Vietnam. He has spinal injuries, which still bother him at times, but he makes due. His simple needs have always allowed him to live a life in which he could support himself, that is, until now.
About a week and a half ago, with a heart full of good intentions because of a family situation, Alfred opened up his home to his 14 year-old grandson. It had been a long time since Alfred had cared for anyone other than himself, and he didn't realize the amount of added responsibility he would be taking on. Quite frankly, he didn't think twice about it. He loves his grandson, and when the situation came up, Alfred didn't weigh out the pros and cons, or think about what a change this would make in his life. He operated how anyone in a loving family would, he simply took him in. If ends didn't meet, Alfred was going to do what he could to make sure he could take care of himself and his grandson, and that's how he wound up at the Food Bank.
So here he was, on our dock, under the brim of a distinct Veteran's hat boasting the war in which he fought, telling us his story. He has been a Texan for about a month after leaving the state of Tennessee. He has a grandson, and not enough money to make ends meet right now because of the move. Most of the money he had for this month went to getting his grandson to Texas, and he wasn't sure how else they would get food. When he found out about the South Plains Food Bank and the food he could have access to, he was relieved. I truly believe he left our dock walking a little taller, released of one more weight his steady shoulders have to bear.
His next move is to focus on building a new life with his grandson. He is driven by his desire for him to have a happy life, and he is figuring out a new way to live and make ends meet. He is motivated by the smile he hopes to see on his grandson's face when he is able to afford the puppy he so tenderly asked for, though the fear of adding another mouth to feed slightly deters him. Despite the long list of answers not outlined before him as he embarks on this new chapter of life, our friend Alfred is determined to be there for his grandson in a way that parallels the responsibility he chose to bear to defend our country in a time of war.
We salute you Alfred. We will be there to help walk you through your time of need as you get back on your feet and strive to fulfill our promise to give hope, end hunger, and enrich the lives of people just like you.
This was the question I loudly exclaimed upon finding out about the CSA (Community Sponsored Agriculture) shares our farm offers to the community.
As the newly-hired Communications and Digital Marketing manager, there was a lot I was still learning about the South Plains Food Bank, and let's face it, I was still a little "green". There were so many (amazing) programs I was still learning about and the idea of a farm to help the hungry left me speechless. (I wish you could have seen my expression when I found out we have a farm!) The city girl in me was a little overwhelmed, but once I found out the address, I decided to make the trek over there to see what it was all about. Boy, was I in for a surprise!
I'm not sure what I was expecting, but I can tell you it wasn't what I thought. As I walked up to the sweet smell of saturated soil, and lovely herbs, the last thing I was expecting were the amount of youth that filled the farm around me. There was a group on the patio, and in the field; in the building and walking around. There were so many! I walked up to a group sitting in chairs surrounding a barrel of zucchini and observed them. They seemed so happy to be outside, laughing and bagging zucchini. "What are those for?" I asked. "They're for the CSA's," a dark haired girl with glasses piped up without missing the rhythmic beat of her work. "The CSA's?" I asked. And then my world opened up.
I hadn't heard of an organization that literally utilized every thinkable way to make an impact in the lives of the hungry in our community. We have an orchard to grow apples to give to the hungry, and we have a farm run by at-risk youth who participate in the GRUB (Growing Recruits for Urban Business) program. This program takes at-risk kids and leads them on the journey to plant, grow, harvest, create and donate their vegetables at the farm. Half of what is grown at the farm goes right into food boxes to feed the hungry, and the other half is collected for CSA shares. The food from the farm is: grown using organic inputs, grown locally, vine ripened, and you know who is growing it! As soon as I found out I could afford fresh, weekly produce grown by kids who were actively trying to pursue and grow on the right track, the only question I asked was, "Where do I sign?" One week later, I had my first CSA and a great co-worker (Melissa Henderson, Director of Development) to help me cook it!
Loaded with fresh tomatoes, onions, garlic, corn, beans, carrots, cucumbers, squash, zucchini, oh my! When the overambitious thought of needing to eat everything tonight simmered down, I sat down and earnestly thought about what to do with my treasure. This is what came of my adventure!
The first course we thought up was a simple tomato and cucumber salad. Lightly tossed in olive oil and sea salt, this was fantastic, and so healthy. I never knew cucumbers grew as big as the ones I received from the farm!
The second course utilized the squash and the corn that overwhelmed our CSA. Melissa had a great stuffed summer squash recipe that was sure to be amazing! We halved our squash, carved it out and stuffed it with herbs, Ritz crackers, and corn. We drizzled some cheese over it and threw it in the oven, and Voila!
Our final course was a no-brainer. With onions, carrots, garlic, and zucchini we figured a roast was definitely needed to offset our veggiebonanza. We topped it with herbs and a little bit of a red wine label that makes a contribution to the food bank network with every purchase, and we had a dinner that was good for us and helped the cause!
Whether it was the CSA vegetables, or our hard work, I can say dinner that night was the best I ever had. There was just something more than spices and flavor in the food I was savoring: It was knowing that the food I received was helping and touching so many people all the way around.
Bon Appetit!

It's Possible!
Thanks to a significant grant from the J.T. and Margaret Talkington Foundation, the South Plains Food Bank is building a new facility. Join us Tuesday, April 29th as we Break Ground and dream of a hunger-free future.
This letter recently landed on my desk and I couldn't help but share. Visualizing this scenario just makes me giggle! Thank you Jerry and Jeanie Koch for sharing your story and for the $100 donation!
Hi Lyn,
The enclosed is sort of the result of a challenge I issued in my freshman sociology class. There are several members of the Goin' Band in the class and I'm a big fan.
At the games, the band sits in the South end-zone and the tuba players are in the top row. That is close to where the football winds up after extra-point kicks.
So I thought it would be funny if one of the tuba players actually caught the kicked football IN THEIR TUBA.
So I issued the challenge. I told the band members in my class to tell the tuba players that I would give $100 to the Food Bank if they ever did this. And last Saturday at the Oklahoma State game, one of them did.
So here's $100. I'm paying up.
All the best,
Jerry and Jeanie Koch
We love the Goin' Band. They made a huge presence at this year's Wreck Hunger Food Drive and we were so impressed with their enthusiasm to raise donations by playing music live for passer-bys... Now that we know the tuba players can catch footballs in thier horns we're even more impressed.
My name is Lynn Weir and I am the Food Resource Coordinator for the South Plains Food Bank. Several months ago I was given the task to plan, organize, and to be in charge of our 30 Hour Food Drive for 2013. I said "Okay" and had the deer in the headlights look I am quite sure!
I set two goals for myself. One: to get the Texas Tech community involved. And two: to get some food donated.
How do we get Tech involved? "Instead of Wreck 'Em Tech, let's name it Wreck Hunger." I wanted to attract the Tech community, so who better to do it than Tech students? What do Tech students like to do best after studying? Party. I said, "Let's have a tailgate party!"
We planned the first "Wreck Hunger" with a 30 hour tailgate party and a planning committee comprised 95% of Tech students. Tailgating could start on Thursday night before the TCU game which Tech would wreck, and then continue Friday and Saturday. Has to work, right?!
I was at the game Thursday night, when it was extremely close, sat down and honestly prayed, "God I know this isn't the type of thing you are supposed to pray for, but PLEASE let Tech pull this out. Of course I want Tech to win, but I need the community and Tech to be in a very good mood these next two days, feeling very generous. How else am I going to be able to get food for the hungry?"
My prayers were answered! Tech wrecked TCU! And with help from our friends, the South Plains Food Bank wrecked hunger!
We accomplished so incredibly much more than just Wrecking Hunger. When I use the term "we", I am not only talking about the people at the Food Bank, but the Texas Tech community, businesses in Lubbock, the Lubbock community, and numerous volunteers.
I chose a goal of 3,500 pounds of food for us to collect, thinking this is a probably on the high side for just 30 hours of a food drive, but you have to be optimistic. My goal was totally exceeded! We collected 27,361 pounds of food and had $1,640.14 donated, which equates to 29,362 meals on the South Plains!
One lady stopped me and asked me if I were with the Food Bank and I said yes. She said this was one of the best events she had ever been to. "It was a very family friendly environment for a tailgate party, which her young children could attend, but above all else, it was for a very good cause."
A homeless man came to the event with his wife and backpack. We were giving away hot dogs and hamburgers Saturday at lunch. He and his wife each ate a couple of hamburgers and hot dogs and took some with them. They went to our beverage cart where we had drinks and sweets, and topped their back packs off with drinks and desserts. When Coach Kliff Kingsbury made an appearance on Saturday, the gentlemen went up to shake Coach Kingsbury's hand. I stood and watched Coach Kingsbury look the man in the eye, as if he were the only fan around, and shake his hand. The man's life was made. He went over to my husband and was like a little child at Christmas! He got to meet and shake the hand of Kliff Kingsbury! The same man came to the food bank today, for the first time, and was still holding his autograph of Kliff Kingsbury.
During his appearance, Coach Kingsbury's assistant asked me to try to keep things orderly, and would tell me we only have about 10 more minutes, 4 more minutes, etc, as Coach had a staff meeting at 2:00. I would say "ok guys, only 4 more minutes, one more person," etc. When we said "that's all," Coach Kingsbury stopped and continued to sign more autographs and take pictures. Does Tech have the best football coach or what?
Raider Red and the Masked Rider with Fearless Champion were also there on Saturday and parents got photos with their children and these remarkable icons. Trust me. Not only small children were having their pictures made!
The Lady Raider Basketball team made an appearance on Friday and brought close to 3,000 pounds of food they collected!
The men's baseball team came out, helped us load one of our trucks with food and made a little boys day. A little boy around 5 or 6 who is passionate about baseball approached the team to meet them. He got some pointers from the team and then found out that he had a better swing than some of the Red Raiders! This is the honest truth!
Tubby Smith came out Friday, on his way home to just stop by and check us out! Did he have to do this? Of course not!
Jon Murray, the Cross Country Coach came by on Saturday.
The Saddle Tramps came out, held a pep rally for us, and every time someone donated food, rang their bells and Bangin' Bertha!
Members of the Goin' Band pretty much played non-stop Saturday. On a purely selfish side, I was very honored, when I walked out of the store from getting a drink, and the band began playing Happy Birthday to me! Now how many people can say the Goin' Band has serenaded them!
We had the Reagor-Dykes Hummer at the event and a little boy came up to me and asked if he could sit in the Hummer. I said of course. He got behind the wheel and was off to the races (in his mind). He got out jumping up and down, squealing that he got to drive a real Hummer!
A sixth grader here in Lubbock helped us do a live TV appearance with Nikki-Dee Ray. Afterwords, she came up to me and said she was the happiest person in the world because she got to meet someone who is on TV!
The very last prize we drew for was a 55 inch TV. The young gentleman who won it, brought us 3 non-perishable food items to earn a ticket. He was saving his money to buy a TV!
We accomplished our goal of raising 3,500 pounds of food, but not without the help of supporters and volunteers. On Friday Mrs. Baird's Bread announced their donation of 18,000 pounds of bread! There was great camaraderie between food bank employees and volunteers. I was hoping for a respectful showing and got so much more!
Lubbock, Texas and the South Plains is the best place on earth to live and hands down Texas Tech is the best University anywhere! Thank you everyone who came out, volunteered, and made appearances. We will see you next year for the same event. If you want to help us out just phone the South Plains Food Bank, and I will get you signed up! A huge difference was made in lives in Lubbock this weekend! You WRECKED HUNGER! This will only get bigger and better from here on out!
My recent Facebook post reads "Facebook Friends... Tell me what your daily indulgence is. Something that you spend money on and you know you can live without... But it is just so good..."
Answers ranged from coconut water to wine and chocolate. My own daily indulgence is a Flat White from Gatsby's Coffee House in Lubbock, Texas.
Every morning on my way to work I stop at my favorite spot "Gatsby's" and have a Flat White. Flat White is barista talk for "latte with a shot of espresso served in a small cup". I love the espresso. I love the perfectly frothed milk. I love the atmosphere at Cactus Alley. And I love that the barista pours a heart into the surface of my Flat White. >gush<
But this isn't a story about my coffee shop crush.
This is a story about the cost of my fancy coffee and what could otherwise have been purchased.
My Flat White costs $3.50. I round up to $5 to include a tip for the lovely art work. My five dollars a day, five times a week adds up to about $100 per month.
Here at the South Plains Food Bank we equate $1 to 4 meals. Therefore my monthly coffee indulgence could have purchased 400 meals this month! That is four hungry west Texans fed 3 meals per day for one month.
New to the Food Bank, I am learning every day about who is "hungry." According to Feeding America, 1 in 6 Americans face hunger. http://feedingamerica.org/hunger-in-america/hunger-studies/map-the-meal-gap.aspx The South Plains Food Bank is committed to alleviating hungry here in west Texas. And I can help.
Can I really give up my Flat Whites? Yes. But stop drinking coffee? No. What I am willing to do is let go of the fancy espresso and instead opt for the basic pour at my office which doesn't cost me anything.
Instead I will take my $100 and find a more generous use. I invite you to do the same.
A little after 1:00 in the afternoon, Monday-Saturday, my wife asks the dogs if they want to go check the mail… which means walking from the front door to the mail box by the street. For the dogs it's a quick patrol of the front yard. Once the mail is collected and the dogs determine our front yard is safe, they go back inside.
"Checking the mail" is a daily ritual for most of us anywhere in the country. Even in an electronic world we make a trek to the mail box to see if there is anything special in the mail box. Usually it is bills and flyers… but sometimes it's something special like an invitation to a wedding or thank you note or a note from a family member or friend. When I was growing up, on occasion, I would even find a "special delivery" letter!
Another ritual most of us have is checking our pantry or looking in the refrigerator to see what's for breakfast… or lunch… or dinner. Unless we haven't had time to make it to a grocery store, most of us find what we are looking for. But for one in six people on the South Plains going to the pantry isn't a sure thing. There are times during the month when they are not sure where or how they will get their next meal. They are people who are food insecure.
The "food insecure" are the people we serve at the South Plains Food Bank every day; People whose pantries are empty. Sometimes these people are seniors living on a fixed income. As food and fuel prices rise, they have less money for food. Sometimes they are people who are working, but just don't make enough to buy all the groceries they need for themselves and their families. Other times they are veterans with disabilities that prevent them from finding a regular job. Or they may be children going to school without breakfast. There are many faces to hunger. And what I have discovered by being at the food bank, these are people I went to school with, people I go to church with, people who are my neighbors.
So what do mailboxes and food pantries have to do with one another? On Saturday, May 11, you have a chance to go to your pantry and then your mailbox to help feed hungry neighbors. It's the annual Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive. Simply leave your donation of canned or dried foods by the mailbox and your letter carrier will pick it up for special delivery to the food bank. Stamp Out Hunger is the largest one day food drive in the nation.
The food you donate on Saturday will be the food we give to families during the summer months. Summer is a time of the year when the need remains high, but donations are at a low. Your food donation will help ensure we have the food we need to keep kids, seniors, and others fed. And if you can't leave food by your mail box please consider making an online gift. Every dollar we receive turns into the equivalent of five meals.
When you think about foods to donate, think about what you enjoy and what you would want to serve your friends and family. Please consider items like canned tuna or chicken packed in water. They can be used to create lots of nutritious dishes. Canned vegetables with reduced sodium or fruits packed in light syrup. Peanut butter is always appreciated as a good source of protien and fiber. Low sugar cereals and whole grain products help round out a healthy meal.
However you choose to donate, it will be a special delivery for the families we serve!
"What does it mean to feed a hungry person?"
The question was asked by a friend of mine who was visiting the South Plains Food Bank. While it seems like an easy question, I think what he was really asking was what difference does it make? It's a good question and made me think.
Sure, feeding a hungry person meets their immediate nutritional needs and their stomach stops hurting. We feed the hungry out of compassion. But in reality, feeding the hungry means different things to different people.
For a hungry school child, it's the difference between passing a test or not passing a test.
For a hungry senior citizen, it's the difference between being able to afford medication or not taking medication.
For a working parent struggling to put food on the table, it the difference between being able to sit down around their dinner table and be a family or not.
Feeding the hungry is more than just a hunger issue. Feeding the hungry is about education, health and creating family. People who are hungry drag us all down. But when we take care of children, seniors and the working poor, we are not only being compassionate, we are building up our community and our country. That's what feeding the hungry means to me.
This year, the South Plains Food Bank will help feed 1 in 6 people in our area. It will have a different impact on every man, woman, and child we help feed, but it will make a difference to them... and it will make our community stronger.
Would you like to find out more about the SPFB and how you can help? Stop by for a visit. -Free Box Lunch and Tour. I would love to show you around.

Acne is a very disturbing our beauty. people will do many things to get rid of acne. acne itself is in the area of fat skin tissue. Acne can grow anywhere, face, back and even hair. but the most painful pimples that grow around the nose area. in addition to causing pain. pimples that grow in our area make appearances broken nose, like a clown with a red nose. besides pain, acne around the nose makes us uncomfortable. we even tried to eliminate the squeeze acne. pimples on the nose will usually spread when you have excess facial oil. then your acne will be enlarged.
If you include people who like to squeeze pimples around the nose, you should be careful because germs can go from there and headed to the channel region of your brain. this can cause meningitis. The most vulnerable part of the face is the base of the germs enter the nose. because the line can go directly to the brain.
How to treat acne on the nose, such as first always wash your face, use a facial soap that matches your skin type or use a facial cleanser. do at least 2 times a day, especially after a flier from the outside. this should be done as a form of prevention against acne.
Then use a face mask to tighten your skin. it is useful for small pores would be bothersome dust to enter kearea skin tissue. use toner as a means of tightening the skin. in addition to tighten, it is also useful as a refresher for your skin.
Another factor that causes acne is stress, therefore avoiding stress. or foods that can trigger excessive facial oil, should be avoided. but if you have facial acne appear intrusive. meet your dermatologist immediately. do not try to push it. or you can also buy and use acne cream on your acne on parts that have been cleaned.tags: Pimple Inside Nose, Pimple Inside Nose Dangerous, Pimple Inside Nose Hurts, Pimple Inside Nose Treatment

Latest Player Updatesclose
Jason Campbell
Tue Jul 19, 2011 4:54 pm Campbell didn't put together his first 200-yard passing game until Week 7. Still, the former first-round draft choice had some impressive games down the stretch with three multi-score games and only two picks in his final five contests.
Fantasy Source Spin: It could be another roller-coaster ride for Campbell in Oakland.
Source: Fantasy Source
Mon Nov 15, 2010 5:28 pm Raiders coach Tom Cable formally named Jason Campbell the team's starting quarterback at Monday's press conference.
Fantasy Source Spin: Cable had already hinted at the move, which was believed to be influenced at least to some degree by owner Al Davis, an adamant Campbell supporter. Winning four of his last five games, of course, didn't hurt Campbell's chances. He'll also be getting back Louis Murphy (bruised lung) this week at Pittsburgh.
Source: Jerry McDonald on Twitter
Sun Oct 24, 2010 11:27 am Jason Campbell (knee) will start for the Raiders against the Broncos Sunday.
Fantasy Source Spin: Campbell has more upside than Kyle Boller, but it's still a bad spot for all the Raiders' wide receivers. Look for the Raiders to feature the running game heavily with both their backs along with Zach Miller in the passing game. Campbell is a low-end QB2 at best.
Source: Jason La Canfora on Twitter
Tue Aug 31, 2010 10:19 am Campbell is coming off his best season as a pro when he threw 20 touchdown passes to 15 interceptions for Washington, but his quarterback rating was only 15th-best in the NFL at 86.4. That sandwiched him between Kyle Orton and Carson Palmer among the mediocre fringe-starters in the fantasy world. Moving to Oakland is better for the Raiders than it is for Campbell. His wide receiving corps remains a work in progress and his best weapon will be a tight end. The offensive line is about the same as it was in Washington, which is to say it is weak, and the running backs are arguably worse.
Fantasy Source Spin: All in all, Campbell looks to be about what he was last year, which is a No. 2 fantasy quarterback at best. (George Winkler/SN)

Also, the coordinates are not bounded past 90 for N/S, and 180 for E/W. Google maps will just display nothing. Can't tell if the "marker" argument is working properly in the map yet...but seems to be putting the correct Long/Lat in the source code.
Sorry for the bother, but am trying to map a location in Antarctica, and it works fine on the google maps webpage.

Hi again. Thanks for fixing the last bug. But, last time, I didn't check if negative number could be used for latitude also. I had stupidly assumed that google maps did some fancy math and could wrap things around. Can you also check that the sign is recognized for that part of the argument too?

Check out this tread»2Wire Cross Site Request Forgery Vulnerability
thanks Koma, but this has happened on my previous desktop as well, so I'd think it'd be rare that I got same attack on 2 different computers. this one is brand new Dell. I'm pretty advanced at troubleshooting and keeping system "clean". I suppose it's possible. will keep checking.
The attack would be against the 2wire init itself not the computer. if that helps.
ok, thanks. link didnt seem to offer any real solution to the problem though. I guess if that's the cause, not much I can do.
well disable netbios and remote mangement and any unneeded srvices in the mdc console and change the default ip scheme to somthing else is a work around i think. as it disables the default »home and »gateway.2wire.net urls for accessing the 2wire so you would only be able to acces it with your new ip sceme.
would you believe it if I told you they are already disabled. LOL. this problem just keeps comimg back. also seems to have started when I started with Vista. must be some kind of poisonous combination
Is it your wireless connection keeps dropping or does the power light start blinking? Your post doesn't really state what exactly is happening and you didn't provide us with your DSL Diagnostic page and details log (I don't know what your uncancelled echo is and etc.).
it is not a wireless issue, it is a dsl issue. it appears that whenever my wife signs onto the network (runs IE or Safari on her MacBook PRO), it knocks out DSL off. the Internet light disappears, and it then finds the signal again. sometimes, the DSL light goes red, then resets as well. I can't print a details log, because the system reboots every time i click on it. here is the best I can do :Troubleshooting DSL DiagnosticsGeneral InformationDSL Line: 1Downstream Rate Cap: 3008 kbpsDownstream Atten. at 300kHz: 7.0 dBUncancelled Echo: -17.7 dB OkVCXO Frequency Offset: 3.5 ppm OkFinal Rx Gain: -12.2 dB OkImpulse Noise Comp.

I have NO computers with windows 98 on them, and none of these computers are connected via ethernet except mine!this is ridiculous. HELP.. LOL.
I would recommend factory reseting Your gateway(hold in the red reset button for 10 seconds , make sure you have your ISP username and password handy to reprovision the gateway) After reset run the system setup (gateway.2wire.net/setup) and put in your username in password. After you have green internet light verify you can surf then see if you can access the detailed log. If so please post detailed log
I'd do what ColonelPanic suggested but instead of 10 seconds, hold the reset button in for 30 seconds (10 seconds is too short of a time).
thanks all. I have reset the modem quite a few times, additionally, as mentioned, I have 3 others of the same modem (long story) and it happens on all of them, so I'm still thinking there is a setting or something that is @#*%# everything up once the macbook enters the network. is this possible?BTW - any issues with my statistics?
anyone else have any solutions? it appears it definitely relates to the MacBook entering the network. We are working awesomely without the MACBOOK on, but once connected, all hell breaks loose.
I've been fighting with dropped DSL connections for over a month (and 3 different Qwest 2701 modems, on 3 ports, on two different DSLAMs). We have a small office network with a couple of wirelessly connected macs, and a few wired windows PCs.In the last few days it has gotten worse. I've been having it reboot spontaneously often, including when I access various admin pages (like the admin home page). Resetting to factory defaults seems to help with the spontaneous reboots when accessing the admin pages, but only for a little while. This last development helped convince me that these things are garbage.The only thing that has given me any hope is this morning I reset to factory defaults and then set it to bridge between the ethernet and the DSL connection, then I took an old WRT54G I had at home and set it up as the router/firewall and to authenticate over PPPoE.For the first time in a long time, I've seen 0.5% packet loss on my test pings. I don't know what the problem was, but so far, it seems that relieving the 2701 of doing anything other than bridging the connection has made it much healthier.I'll see how it looks over the next few days. If everything checks out, I'll order a cisco router/AP/DSL Modem and send this piece of junk back. If it isn't better, I'm probably going to cancel service.
please keep us updated.did you ever try the 2wire first with the PC's then see what happens when MAC enters the network?
There was a relevant thread in here that I can no longer find, but it had something to do with the Macintosh using a character set in either its DNS requests or its DHCP requests which could cause some routers to reboot. I searched for it with no immediate success, but this may be another possibility to investigate.As I recall (fuzzily), there was some Mac configuration form where the problem could be corrected.
Had the same problem......fixed it by junking my 2Wire and bought a D-Link all in one router/modem at Frys.My DSL works perfect now....no problems and no reboots.
Hi Jacko, I am happy to hear that you resolved your problem by replacing it with D-Link unit. My friend also has the same problem and she asked for my help. Which D-Link model number did you purchased to replace your troubled 2Wire unit? Did you follow the D-Link instruction given here at dslreports - »AT&T Southeast Forum FAQ »How do I properly set up a D-Link Router with a Westell Modem? -?Easy setup or hard? I would appreciate if you can post your response in this forum this week because she would love to clear this ongoing problem quickly. Plus I am sure many folks out there would like to fix their constant 2Wire problems. My friend is not technical so I am hoping I can help her out.Thanks for your help.

Well, where do you start?? As we have all said, so glad know one was hurt or killed. And when you see the pictures, maybe some have already been posted, it is easy to see anyone sitting in the passenger seat would have been hurt. Steve's laptop has a slice out of the top of the screen. Builder Bill may have wrecked a good pair of underwear!!
I have been talking to Matin (NeverEnough) all week and since he knew I was going to his track he was going to load up and meet me there. Unfortunately he had computer problems and did not make it. Maybe it was for the better? LOL
Here is what we know so far. The Jeep was backed out of the trailer and Steve was driving through the parking lot. He said it felt a little strange while driving. It has a spool in the rear, but he said it was a different strange feel. Builder Bill was commenting on how well it was running and idling. Dyno Steve has worked very hard on this tune and you can't ask for anything more. It makes great power, it has 90lb injectors and idles as smooth as silk around 790 rpm. The tune this time was perfect. As Steve drove just a short distance around the lot he had stopped and the vehicle was in neutral. Builder Bill was over by the passenger door talking to Steve. Steve was just massaging the gas peddle, nothing crazy high on RPM's and Boom!! The explosion sent parts everywhere. The transmission fluid ignited on the headers and there was a fire in the cabin. The fire suppression system was activated, that instantly cuts all power and sprays Halon? (I know Halon has been banned just like Vinny, but it was some sort of clean agent) however it only sprays in the engine bay. That left Steve slapping flames with has hands, until extinguishers arrive.
This should be a lessen to everyone. I think we all are safety conscious while we are in the staging lanes and on the track. But safety needs to start as soon as the vehicle is out of the trailer. Who would think anything like this would happen driving through the parking lot.
So, what went wrong?? The transmission builder is going to do a "postmortem" on Tuesday. He said even with minimal parts a cause will be determined. Some of the speculation. Some sort of installation issue with the adapter plate / flex plat / alignment. Seems unlikely since it has been on the dyno for numerous pulls. Torque converter? (it was a 3200 stall provided by the transmission builder) A issue of higher rev's while in neutral. Or maybe the HP exceeded the capacity of the trans. It was rated for 1200 hp. 921 at the tires on a AWD vehicle puts it close to that number at the crank. These are the area's that will be looked into. All parts have been collected for inspection and the vehicle will be put on a lift back at RDP for the inspection. Should know something by Tuesday. Here are the photo's that I took with my cell phone.
What happens now??
Well, I purchased another 2007 Jeep last week. RDP will be building me a twin turbo come the first of the year. We will be using a Paramount Performance Transmission and Transfer case (Got that Bill) This vehicle will be a fully upholstered, caged, street legal monster. I have already started a thread on this.
The Supercharged Jeep. It has bad karma! I have tried and tried with this and it is time to move on. DynoSteve was going to drive back to Painseville last night but decided to spend the night. Boy was that a mistake!! Seeing the interior is Fuc&@d anyway this will be gutted. The motor will be inspected and reinstalled. Not all the details have been worked out, but it will be 2wd full cage mini tub's lexon window's, 1 seat, 2 parachutes, wheelie bar, track only machine. Hey Carl, you want some?? LOL
I will be starting a thread on this soon.
Thanks to everyone for the kind words.
