UNDER THE GAVEL • 3 UNDER THE GAVEL BY SCHUYLER HOFFMAN As May approaches, driving season is getting into full swing. I hope as many folks as can will take advantage of the better weather (May gray excepted) and join us on some of our upcoming Club activities. Last evening I attended the British Car Club Council meeting at Hsu's where the discussions were lively relative to the future of British Car Day. As you may know, last year the Car Club Council was rather unceremoniously informed, at the last minute, that a variety of permits were needed in order for BCD to happen. That reality caused a significant amount of panic, angst, and extra work for a few dedicated individuals. The permits were obtained and British Car Day came off as usual. Last night the meeting attendees unanimously agreed that it was time for the BCCC to incorporate. Liability issues being what they are today, as well as the almost impossible task of trying to secure the necessary insurance, more or less dictated this decision. Other changes are on the horizon for BCD. In the future there will be less mailings, advertising, the raffle may go away, as well as the registration packets (at least as they are currently configured). The consensus seems to indicate that the event has gotten way too big, complicated, and work intensive to continue as it has in the past. None of the decisions were "cast in stone". There will be plenty of discussion at the upcoming meetings. If you have strong feelings about how things are going with the Council, or you'd like to voice your opinion to the changes, attend the meetings. I think that it's pretty apparent that a lot of the membership of all of the local British car clubs is interested in what the Council is doing. Participation in "all British" events is on the rise. I think that indicates that a lot of people enjoy seeing other British Marques. Seems that the Miramar Speed Circuit cart racing sessions are catching on. Although I missed the last evening of racing, I am told that it may become a monthly function. There'll be more to come, so stay tuned…. We will be having some Tech. Sessions this Spring and Summer. Let us know if there is something that your car needs that you think would be of general interest to other MG owners. If the need is not so urgent that you can wait, maybe we can schedule a session around your needs. At the last session, we learned how to change the cross member mounting pads in an MGB. Hopefully the people who attended learned that such endeavors are not as ominous or as difficult as they appear. Remember that the pads we changed were made of rubber. Much of the rubber on many of our MG's is more than 30 years old. Most of it is in need of being "refreshed". Tech. Sessions are a good venue to learn how easy some of this type of maintenance is, as well as how much of a difference it makes in the drivability of your car. Hope to see you in May and … Happy MotorinG! 4 • WRENCHHEAD CORNER WRENCHHEAD CORNER Let's say, for example that the headlights are very dim or won't By Paul Konkle light at all.

She noted the $361,000 Rolls Royces and the Bugatti Veyron, which was roped off and had a security guard, due to its $2 million price tag. She donated the Symbolic T-shirt to the raffle. Paul Brown handed out registration forms for the Parkinson's walk. Steve Kirby had a magazine article mentioning that collecting and restoring old cars is a "disease," and it was also recommended that those afflicted should "avoid e-bay while drinking." Joe Buchmiller has extra Moss Motors catalogs. Paul Konkle met a guy at the Big 3 Swap Meet who (turns out) had lots of MGB parts and engines!

"I did do all the painting myself, which took forever. Fellow Club member Dick Moss spent an entire day with me, and patiently showed some of the basics of color sanding and polishing. I've always been reluctant to do that on my own, but Dick's mastery made it look "do-able". Thanks Dick! Another sort of interesting bit is that parts for this ol' Dodge truck are a lot harder to come by than a person might think. If it was a Ford or Chevy, there are hundreds of places supplying parts and reproduction parts. Sort of like Moss Motors or Victoria British. But, alas, tis a Dodge -- sort of an orphan, in the old truck world. So, I had to take the attitude . . . "anyone can restore an old Ford or Chevy!" I did find a place, perhaps they should remain nameless, that specialized in old Dodge and Chrysler product parts, including trucks. I thought I'd hit a home run . . . at first. I ordered over a thousand dollars worth of stuff, over a period of time. Even went by their place of business in Massachusetts, when we were on our vacation two years ago. Carried some of the big pieces all the way back home from Massachusetts. What an understanding wife I have!!! Long story short, of approximately 10 items ordered, 8 did not fit or work at all- -NOT EVEN CLOSE. Things like a floor mat--might have fit a Yugo, but not my truck. The "headliner/interior kit"-- ended up making my own, and throwing away 90% of their pieces!!! Window rubber (front and back)--maybe fit that Yugo again, but not my truck. Errrrrrrrrrr. They were less than "customer friendly" about returning items--all of which were THEIR error. Bottom line: The suppliers we have in our wonderful MG World are much, much more reliable, accurate, customer friendly, honest, caring and fast. It took nearly 3 months to resolve the window rubber. This was particularly maddening because I found out after ordering from this "supplier", that the rubber came from a company called "Clester's". I contacted Clester's, and they immediately recognized where the supplier had ered. They had the correct item in stock, but of course, I had to transact business through the supplier . . . and wait, and wait, and wait.

El Cajon, CA 92019 9:30 a.m. and head out at 10:00 a.m. The Motor Transport Museum's objective is to create a positive awareness and appreciation for old trucks and the development of the motor transport industry. The Museum provides a place for restoration and public display of antique trucks as well as photos, literature, memorabilia and other pertinent information relating to trucks, the trucking industry, and the pioneers who have made a significant contribution to the development and prosperity of California and the United States. This museum is housed in the historic Campo Feldspar Mill, built in 1929 to mill feldspar mined in nearby Hauser Canyon. The mineral was ground and processed here into porcelain which was used to manufacture sparkplugs and bathroom fixtures.

It will be hard to forget this incredible rally; ending with a rained out picnic which turned into a wine tasting delight and a zippy drive home with the top down, in sporadically pouring rain, but luckily, not getting very wet. Thanks to the British Car Council for another well run, stellar event. Can hardly wait for next year. (above) Standing room only for the driver's meeting.

Thanks. I had never heard about that. I don't eat a lot of garlic, but do you know if garlic powder is also a blood thinner?
It is just the Garlic pills that you have to watch out for. Just the pure stuff not the cooking Garlic so don't worry about the Garlic salt or powder just whole garlic and even that has to be alot. Like I said mainly the Garlic capsules or pills. Rest easy and enjoy your powder.

Socially Awkward Rubber Duck
Socially Awkward Rubber Duck
Herb submits this funny video from last year's event, with footage of uninvited guest Homie, who not only eats someone else's soup, he makes a terrible mess, and tries to take the pretty bowl with him! My goodness Homie, such bad manners!
That Rubber Duck is too small. To get a gigantic Rubber Duck to our shores please "like" the Facebook Page, "Bring the Rubber Duck to Gloucester Harbor". We need that page liked at least one hundred more times before we can submit a gigantic rubber duck request.
Although ubiquitous where ever we turn, I was curious about the several different species that are often observed fishing and feeding together at dawn. The flocks of seagulls that we see on Cape Ann at this time of year are typically comprised of two species and they are the Great Black-backed Gull and the Herring Gull. In the above photo taken at daybreak (click to view larger), you can see both species; the gulls with speckled feather patterns are first year fledglings of both the Great Black-backed and Herring Gulls.
Interestingly, early in the twentieth century, both species of gulls were mostly winter visitors, neither staying to breed when the weather warmed. The first pair of breeding Herring Gulls was discovered on Martha's Vineyard in 1912. The first pair of breeding Great Black-backed Gulls was found in Salem in 1932.
The Great Black-backed Gull (Larus marinus) is the larger of the two, up to 30," with a black back and wings, yellow bill distinguished by a red dot on the bottom near the tip, and pinkish legs.
The Herring Gull (Larus argentus), at 25 inches, has gray wings tipped with black, gray back, white head, pinkish legs, and yellow bill also with a red dot on the bottom near the tip.
The Ring-billed Gull (Larus delawarensis) is also a regular visitor but according to Mass Audubon, it has never successfully bred in Massachusetts. The Ring-billed at first glance looks similar to the Herring Gull but is the smallest of the three at 17″ and is also easy to distinguish as it has yellow legs and a dark gray band near the tip of its bill.
This shot was taken from aboard the M/V Lady Jillian, Gloucester's Harbor Water Shuttle and Tour. The water shuttle is a great way to get around and see Gloucester's inner harbor for short money ($10 for adults, children 6-12 $5 and under 6 free). Hop on/Hop off all day (daily during the summer noon – 6:00pm; last depart at 5:00pm). Pick ups on the hour at Harbor Loop/Jacobs Landing, 15 minutes after the hour at St. Peter's Landing, 30 minutes after the hour at Rocky Neck Art Colony and 45 minutes after the hour at Cripple Cove, Cruiseport and Head of the Harbor (on request). Leave your car and hop aboard the Lady Jillian for a nice tour and refreshing trip around Gloucester Harbor.

I think I figured it out. This has happened dozens of times. I lose track of Rubber Duck for a minute and the next thing I know she is perched onto another round shiny object.
Jamie at Stones Pub was describing how he was not really that sleep deprived even with one week old baby boy Cameron taking up some of his time lately and the next thing you know Rubber Duck has jumped off the bar.
So. Do you think Rubber Duck wants to be a mommy? I never got around to explaining the birds and the bees to RD and now I don't know how to break it to her. Should I put out a call to Homie and get a nice seagull egg for Rubber Duck to sit on?

Carry On Pickpocket is a 1982 Hong Kong action comedy film directed by Sammo Hung who also stars in it alongside Frankie Chan and Deannie Yip. Hung, the Sammo Hung Stuntmen's Association, Yuen Biao, Lam Ching-ying and Billy Chan served as action directors. Hung received the Best Actor award at the 2nd Hong Kong Film Awards and shared it with Karl Maka for Aces Go Places.
Hung Tai Kong aka "Rice Pot" (Sammo Hung) and Chan Yin Tung aka "Chimney" (Frankie Chan) are two brothers who work with their master Kam Ming (Lau Hak Suen) and his daughter Ann (Didi Pang) as a team of pickpockets. Rice Pot, Chimney and Ann later meet Inspector Ling Ah Nam (Deannie Yip), who investigating a diamond robbery and later becomes Rice Pot's girlfriend. She tells Rice Pot that she has to leave for 2 to 3 months. He finds out that she lied to him, and later she explains to him and reveals that she is on an undercover mission. Ling asks the three of them to help her snatch a box of diamonds from Chow Ming Shing (Peter Chan Lung).
Later, troubled cop Ng Heung Kan (Richard Ng) runs into Rice Pot and Chimney. Finding out that they are pickpockets, Ng becomes desperate to arrest them.
After successfully getting the diamonds, Ling has them pretend to give Chow the diamonds in order to arrest Chow. However, the diamond that Ling gives them are fake and the three of them become suspicious of Ling. Later, a big fight takes place on Chow's ship and a final fight with Rice Pot against one of Shing's henchmen (Dick Wei).
Ling attempts to flee from Hong Kong with the diamonds and the three of them find her in the airport. Rice Pot manages to snatch the diamonds from her, only to run into Ng, who is patrolling there and causes him to drop them.
In the end, there is an epilogue for everyone. Rice Pot, Chimney and Ann are charged with theft and murder. They are sentenced to 7, 5 and 3 years to prison respectively. Kam is charged with theft and receiving stolen goods and sentenced to 2 years. Ling is charged with impersonating a cop and cheating, and is sentenced to 10 years. Sergeant Ng is promoted to police inspector for discovering an international criminal group.

Please assist me with completing Terradome (Finding J'vek)
I've completed every STF on my fed and all the others except this one on my KDF.
This is the final mission I would like to complete.
Unfortunately, I am having trouble finding KDF teams.
I've tried varying times, lots of different maps and have found no KDF to assist me with this task.
If you can assist me with this, please let me know.
I don't think you even need to be on Finding J'vek, just on Terradome, if the group port works.
Man I think
Your screwed most Klingons would not do STFs if you paid them to while thats what I gathered from most of us. Although they are more challenging then most fed in PvP.
I would be willing to try this mission again, but i have tried it many times on my klingon but boss room is near impossible compared to fed side.
My KDF tac is on finding j'vek part of mission
PM me in game if u want to try and get team
Cha'sak@Starseeker13 ( KDF tac )
Angelus@Starseeker13 ( KDF sci )
Gizmo@Starseeker13 ( KDF eng )
-House OF ClanHunters-
I have often wondered why the KDF don't like to do STFs.
Or at least. the KDF I've seen.
A friend of mine tried to gather a group for an STF, there were lots of BG5s around him and none of them responded.
Someone once observed it's because the average KDF PvPer prefers space battles and has no skills in/for ground battles.
Thanks Starseeker, I'll try to look you up sometime.
And yes, it is near impossible, the feds have it easy compared to us.
Many times, J'vek was dead before the moment we entered the room.
I think it's Commander Vizimar who gives this mission, I'm not 100% certain though.
He handles all the STFs for the KDF faction.
To meet him, you have to be BG5 and use the transwarp gate to go to Battle Group Omega in Gamma Orionsis.
Access to Battle Group Omega is possible when you reach BG3, although the only mission available at this time is the Borg sector defends, which can be done with Fed players. Aroundabout an hour of these will get you to BG5.
Try House of Chang. There are still a few KDF left there and love to do TF's. There is also the chat channel KDF PvE.
Thanks for the hint about HOC.
And yes, I am aware of the channel KDF PvE, being an admin for that channel and all.
But there aren't many players on it (at least not when I'm online), certainly not enough to do STF runs.
Around 3 players besides myself.
I did make some progress though, got the boss to 15% of his health last time before he killed us all.
We need bigger dps.

America Online, Inc. Debuts New AIM.com and AIM(R) Today.
New Home Page Offers One-Click Access to the AOL(R) Instant Messenger(TM) (AIM(R)), AIM(R) Mail and Mobile AIM(R) Services Revamped AIM Today Companion Screen Delivers Top Content from AOL(R) News, AOL(R) Music, AOL(R) Television, AOL(R) Sports and More
America Online, Inc. and the AOL(R) Instant Messenger(TM) (AIM(R)) service today announced the debut of a new AIM.com home page (www.aim.com) and redesigned AIM(R) Today companion screen. The new AIM.com and AIM Today offer a fresh look and feel, with the latter being updated four times throughout the day. Both provide users with easier access to their preferred communications services while surfacing compelling content and interactive features from third-party partners and America Online, Inc.
"AIM(R) and AIM(R) Mail users are incredibly connected and like to multi-task. It's typical for them to send SMS text messages, check e-mail and exchange instant messages, all while searching the Web and listening to AOL(R) Radio," said Chamath Palihapitiya, vice president and general manager, AIM and ICQ, America Online, Inc. "That's why we have updated AIM.com and AIM Today to give users more convenient access to our suite of integrated communications tools as well as our continually updated content and rich entertainment services."
The company has also begun rolling out a system-wide upgrade of the AIM 5.9 service that will introduce the new AIM Today and deliver the AOL(R) Explorer browser as an optional feature for AIM users. The tabbed AOL Explorer browser is the ideal platform for the delivery of AIM Today and offers an enhanced Web browsing experience that does not affect users' default browser settings. It also offers integration with the AIM Mail and AOL(R) Mail services for convenient access to e-mail messages.
"The AIM service has become the front door to more than 43 million Americans' social networks," said Bill Schreiner, vice president, Programming for America Online, Inc. "The new AIM Today is designed to help them integrate music, entertainment, games and social networking features like AIM(R) Fight into that setting, and easily share them with friends, family members and colleagues."
Features of the new AIM.com home page include:
--One-click access to America's most popular instant messaging service and its complete suite of communications offerings. This includes the Windows(R), Mac(R) and Linux versions of the AIM(R) service, including the latest beta software, codenamed Triton, as well as downloadable and WAP 2 versions of the Mobile AIM(R) service. It also includes the free, Web-based AIM Mail service, which lets AIM users use their AIM(R) Screen Name as an e-mail address and offers industry-leading spam and e-mail virus protection plus two gigabytes of storage.
--Fun user features like the new AIM(R) Blogs, which supports photo blogging; 40 interactive AIM(R) Games, and approximately 4,000 AIM(R) Expressions. These include AOL's popular animated 2-D and 3-D buddy icons, buddy sounds and buddy wallpapers, which help users personalize the instant messaging experience to be more expressive.
--A wide array of instant messaging robots ('bots') that allow users to interact, play and get essential information updates in real time. This season's hottest bots include the "MLB" Buddy for Major League Baseball stats, scores and updates, and the "MillionaireIM" bot, which lets users help stumped contestants as a part of the "Ask the Audience" lifeline on the syndicated "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?" show from Buena Vista Television.
Features of the new AIM Today companion screen include:
--A dynamic, content-rich interface that is updated four times throughout the day according to daypart to present users with the most relevant news, programming and interactive features.
--Access to the full range of AOL.com(R) programming and interactive features, including pre-set and on-demand content from AOL News, AOL Music, AOL Television, AOL Radio, Moviefone and more.
--A unique LiveWeb(TM) feature that surfaces what's hot on the Web in real-time so that users always know what people are gravitating toward online and talking about across the blogosphere.
--A full range of AOL Search services to help users find everything from local listings to the hottest videos, from trendy consumer electronics products to the best prices on travel services.
--One-click access to the AIM(R) Music Interview of the Week, a casual AIM(R) chat appearing regularly on AOL Music (www.aolmusic.com) that generates fun and spontaneous responses and allows featured artists to talk about what's on their mind.
--Access to AIM Fight (www.AIMFIGHT.com), which lets AOL(R) members and AIM(R) users see how connected they are to the online community at any given moment. By entering their AOL or AIM Screen Name, as well as that of a friend, users can square off against their buddies to see just how popular they really are, and compare Buddy List(R) rank.
--Coming Soon: A gallery of AIM(R) Profiles, including the option to search user profiles, rate others via the "Rate-A-Buddy" feature and submit photos for others to view.

"I strongly believe that FAA must not waver in
undertaking this rulemaking; it must be done expeditiously and with
great rigor. While some folks with a vested interest in cutting
airline costs would argue that 1,500 hours is too harsh a
requirement, I would point to the National Transportation Safety
Board findings that the crash of Colgan Flight 3407 was
attributable largely to pilot inexperience and error."

Charles Schumer (D-NY) to FAA administrator Randy Babbitt.

Those BBQ invites are probably winding down, but you don't have to say goodbye to outdoor entertainment just yet. Boston Acoustics just came up with five new reasons to become one with nature, announcing new additions to its Voyager outdoor speaker line.
The five speakers boast water-resistant designs built to IEC 60529 IPX5 standards, as well as rust resistant hardware and connectors, powder-coated aluminum grilles and UV-resistant polypropylene cabinets. Those ingredients cook up the perfect recipe for outdoor use, leaving the speakers able to withstand the harshest weather and temperature extremes.
Designed for mounting to the side of a house, on a deck or porch, poolside, on a boat, or anywhere in need of sound, these rugged speakers can be used inside as well.
Common features across the Voyager line include Kortec dome tweeters, a Deep Channel (DCD) driver design, acoustical voicing for open-air environments, aluminum C-brackets and unique wedge shape design.
The new models include the 2-way, 4.5-inch Voyager 40 ($279.99), the 2-way, 5.25-inch Voyager 50 ($399.99), the 2-way, 6.5-inch Voyager 60 ($499.99), and the 2-way, 7.5-inch Voyager 70 ($749.99). All four of those are priced per pair. The last new speaker in the series, the 6.5-inch Metro II Stereo, is sold on its own, for $399.99 each.
Available in black or white, all five of the new Voyager speakers will start shipping this month.Follow Electronic House on Facebook and Twitter.
