Bill Cooke's Peugeot Special
They became one of the best-known Peugeot dealers with their Mobilgas service station forecourt covered in 203s and 403s in the late fifties. They had a busy workshop, and around the back they wrecked the battered examples of the marque that came their way. The Parramatta Road, Flemington, site now struggles to avoid choking on the fumes of the overpass to the Olympic stadia and the cars struggling to find parking in the adjoining Markets.
Both Bill Cooke and Norm Saville raced 203s under the Cooke & Saville banner, but Bill had a desire to go faster. He bought the latter day Rizzo Riley, less engine, and fitted a good 403-bore 203 engine.
Backyard Beginnings
The car had been crashed before his purchase, however, and in the repairing it had been fitted with a pre-war Chev axle and cable brakes. Not unknown in those times, but known to be inferior. And the car was so inferior that Bill elected to put the engine in a new car of his own making.
In his Auburn backyard he schemed out and put together this device, a Singer chassis shortened at both ends supporting the Peugeot engine and box. At the front a 203 crossmember was bracketed on, with its familiar transverse leaf spring and shock absorber upper links.
A frame was made at the rear to support another transverse leaf, which conveniently utilised the original 203 shock absorber links to connect to the cast aluminium axle housings. Lateral location was by Panhard rod, as on all Peugeots.
The engine was well equipped, sporting a magneto, internal modifications and some nice exhausts. Carburetion, strangely enough, was a simple single Solex just like they came with. A Peugeot gearbox and a shortened standard torque tube was used to transmit power back to the worm drive diff, and the engine sat back about eight inches behind the front crossmember.
A photo taken in the early stages of construction shows that the complete 403 steering column was laid almost horizontally along the engine bay, with the wheel mounted centrally in front of the driver, but the column running off to the right of the rocker cover, two universal joints then taking the column steeply down to the rack and pinion. The steering wheel was thus almost vertical, but angled to the right about seven degrees. Wheels were standard Peugeot, sometimes drilled, with combinations of 15" and 16" used from time to time.
Bodywork was steel, formed on and welded to bent round tubing. It was tidy if ungainly. Early races saw the car carrying a makeshift tail section, but its later form was in place before the AGP at Bathurst in 1958, except for the nose piece. A rounded form of light steel was made by the same panel beater who shaped the second tail section, initially with quite a small air intake aperture. This was probably enlarged after it was found that insufficient air was getting to the 203 radiator that sat low down ahead of the front suspension. Finally, it seems, the tail was replaced with what appears to be a fibreglass job with a more rounded form.
The car and the way it came about gives a good idea of how many cars 'just growed' in the post-war era. Opportunities were taken, desirable components sourced, costs and construction time kept low by just fitting things together without regard for the latest racing technology. 'Run what you brung' was still the catchcry, for even though Sports Cars were not allowed in the 1958 AGP Cooke was not at the back of the grid in this car, being 20th in a field of 28.
And, on the day, this car diced with the well-known Nota Consul. A much lighter car, built with a space frame in the famous Smith St Nota works about four miles from Cooke's home, it did incorporate some of that mid-fifties racing technology. It had a wide variety of diff ratios (Cooke could only use the 5.75:1 ratio until the 403B came out in 1960), was built for a man who planned to do things with it, had a smaller frontal area and an engine slightly larger than the Peugeot.
The car raced at Mt Druitt, Bathurst and Orange before the engine came out in 1961 to go in another tin top Peugeot. An indication of its performance can be found in the 1960 Easter Bathurst results, where a lap in 3:20.9 and flying eighth speed of 107.78mph (Denis Cooke is sure he recalls a figure around 128mph on one occasion) are shown. The car was thirteenth and last, a lap down on twelfth, five laps down on the winner of the 26-lap Bathurst 100. That was its last Bathurst start, its first main-race finish.
Even though Bill and Norm were in the scrap metal business as well as the wrecking yard business, it was apparently sold complete less engine to someone near Lithgow and sat in a shed for decades. Too low for paddock bashing, too slow for modern racing, its owner must have lost interest, but whether he buried it in a well, still has it in a shed or dismantled the remainder, we just don't know.

I hope they don't fall back into the 10 years untill the next release pit again, but better than the early KDE4 days of rushing to get everything in and having constantly new bugs with the new stuff even though the old stuff got bugfixed; giving everyone the idea that every release was crap because distros found it a good idea to screw up with what to ship aand mostly how to ship it. This all clouded the D-bus bug which made the releases a total disaster for end-users.
Gnome will have some serious competition with KDE 4.6.x which is bad-ass with Fedora 15 (even though that's not even final) and Ubuntu going after Unity and Qt.
May default Gnome 3 not suck total balls like default 2.x, otherwise I have to get back to countertrolling BlackStar

Best Uses

You come up with a creative, but fun way to "ban the person above you". Of course, you don't really ban them. Since there's no one above me I can't start, but the next poster could ban me for.. oh I dunno, playing an air guitar, wearing shades inside, etc etc. Ready go!
Banned for being to sensitive. Lol! Also I dont hate tats. I have several of my own as well as enough piercings to be a watering can.

Chiz and his guys are leaving it all out on the field in his last game as Auburn's coach. They're currently down only 35-0 a couple minutes before half, and just fumbled it over to Bama. By the way, I've been seeing people with stocking caps there in the stands.....I just checked weather.com, it's 53 degrees there!! Sack up, folks!!
Good grief. Bama scoring without issue. Mercy rule?
Make that 42-0 now heading into half. Bama has already covered the 30+ point spread.
42-0. lmao
Hey, look at that. Terrible tackling technique. Where else have I seen that before.......
Worst Auburn loss to Alabama is 55-0. I think Alabama is going to top that.
It's a comedy of errors with that team. They can't tackle worth crap. We should have tried to get a non conference series going with the Chiz at Auburn.
Roll tide!!
Chiz may not ever get invited back to the Nat'l Championship reunions - he's driven that program into the abyss - he should get on the first bus out of town at half.
His wife should read the book of Job, however I really doubt she's big on the Old Testament minus Genesis 1-10.
Bama must want to send a message.

Create an online reviewand share your thoughts with other customers Things I liked:Accuracy is good for 10m practice. Grip was awesome (left handed grip, at least). Trigger feels pretty good. Not quite as accurate as my Alfa Proj, but half the price. Things I would have changed:Other than the price tag, Id say maybe an ambidextrous grip, so us lefties don't have to buy a separate grip. What others should know:I opted for this version over the shorter version for my 10m practicing. 2 pumps was good for that. I got it so I wouldn't have to re-fill my PCP every single time I practiced. It serves this purpose well. Things I liked:Great accuracy, great trigger, and great balance. I like mine in .177 because one pump is good for targets to my back fence (18 yards)and quiet. In .22 you might need two pumps for the velocity. Three pumps give you decent power when you need it. This pistol is great for a short target session... No pumps no CO2 just pump and go for a few rounds. Things I would have changed:I would love a cut-out in the case for a red dot. What others should know:More balanced free hand than my 1720T (no taco hold), with three pumps it is not as powerful as the 1720T but it is still more than other common multi-pump pistols. I really like it. It is worth the money. With three pumps it does make noise. Webley web site indicates four pumps are the max for the Ultra I only tried it once. I do not need the power for paper and cans. 80% of the time one pump works for what I do. I use a Prod for sporting needs. Things I liked:Super accurate, great trigger, perfect grip and balance for me, perfect weight (Spring pistols much heavier), Easy to shoot because no spring to deal with, a lot of fun to shoot,very powerful and not too difficult to cock
Things I would have changed:Not much, the only thing I would like to see is a muzzle break as the gun looks a little lop sided with the bare barrel sticking out. Looks better in person than in pictures though. What others should know:I collect air pistols including some match pistols and would consider this pistol one of the best. The body of the pistol is non metallic which some people may not like but it keeps the weight down and is super comfortable.

Oh mi goodness! We will be in Chicago tomorrow! It has been over a year since we've been back in the states. We will be traveling through the states for the next 2 months... if you haven't yet, check out the RO4Y Tour dates! If we are coming into your area, please let me know! We love meeting and connecting with new people :o)
So... I thought it was about time I wrote up a post about preparing wholesome meals and snacks take on the airplane. We've been traveling back and forth enough times that I have a whole list of healthy stuff to choose from!
I typically carry on a small suitcase full of snacks & individual meals for us... we always end up with leftovers, but better that then have nothing!
Nowadays, it is hard to fly and feel great by the end of your trip. Flying really does take a lot out of you and on top of that... healthy food choices in the airports are pretty slim. That's why it is so important to plan ahead & bring your own healthy food and good water to strengthen your body to stand against the stress of traveling.
Now, I won't get started on the food because I think you all know the direction I'm going here, but one thing I've learned when traveling with my girls and hubby... is to load up on the good fats. Low-fat food makes cranky & tired kids! Which means don't overload on crackers, cookies and fruit. High carbs and sugar calls for hungry, emotional kids that will leave you exhausted & short-tempered by the time you arrive to your destination.
It really makes a difference to plan ahead and prepare your own meals & snacks to take on the airplane. Loading up on nourishing foods rich in good fats will have you & your family feeling good and satisfied wherever you go! When I say good fats, I'm talking about real butter, coconut oil, whole milk, real eggs, nuts and raw cheeses.
Before reading on... let me tell you from personal experience that you CAN bring your own food onto the plane! A friend once told me that it was against the rules, but I have not been told that directly from an airport staff.
Traveling In Style With Wholesome Food
Here's what I've packed for our plane trips over the last few years:
- Raw cheese
- Coconut rice & beans
- Cortido & fresh sour cream
- Hard-boiled eggs (girls love it with sea salt and fresh sour cream!)
- Fritatas in a sandwich or tortillas
- Soaked & dehydrated nuts - almonds, pecans, pistachios & cashews
- Salads w/ homemade dressing (yeah, my girls dig in them!)
- Fresh veggies - carrot sticks, sliced tomatoes, sliced cucumbers & sliced avocado
- Raw, whole milk (I've had no problems carry on a small bottle of milk for each of my kids!)
- Popcorn - popped in coconut oil and topped with lots of butter (a little raw honey too!)
- Crackers - sourdough or soaked
- Raw honey, coconut oil & nut butter sandwiches (using sourdough english muffins)
- Beef jerky
- Plantain chips (can get at Trader Joe's)
- Flourless Chocolate Almond Cookies
- Nut butter cookies
- Coconut Custard Cake
- Banana Bread
- Homemade granola (using soaked & ready oats)
- Strawberry Coconut Muffins
- Banana Coconut Muffins
- Carrot Molasses mini-muffins
- Fresh fruits - bananas, oranges, apples & mangoes
- Dried fruits - pineapple, mango, apples & raisins
- Larabars (favorites: cherry pie & apple pie)
- Coconut cookies
- Oatmeal Raisin Sourdough Cookies
I like to use my reusable sandwich bags for packing our snacks and individual plastic containers for our meals. For cleaning our hands I often just have us wash with water and then use natural hand sanitizer, which smells so much better then the commercial kinds you see everywhere. I like to pump some into a small ziplock bag because of the restrictions on liquids.
Not only is this list good for traveling via airplanes and car, but it is great to always have these on hand and ready to go! I often try to have some of these made every week to take with us whenever we head into town or the city. If I don't, I end up buying plantain chips that only make my girls even more hungry and cranky!

Awesome studies!
November 6th, 2008 #43Hi,
Thank you very much for all the support. Sorry that I could not update my lectures as often as I would like due to my crazy schedule. However, I will keep posting any of my new stuff when I have a chance.
November 11th, 2008 #44Charles,
Your stuff is amazing. I'm intimidated by your ability to create some of these BIG drawings out of your head. No model! Thanks for providing some awesome reference material, especially the knee. Very generous of you to post your demos for us to learn from.
You are an amazing artist and teacher. I'm glad I took your classes at LAAFA and glad you have your studio classes up and running.
See you in Pasadena.

November 12th, 2008 #46Hi everyone,
I would like to let all of you know that my teacher and great mentor - Steve Huston is going to do a slide presentation and painting demo at my school, 3Kicks Fine Art Studio.

November 21st, 2008 #47Hi there! I am an instant fan of your work, especially since you use a lot of the same figure models we have had at laguna college for your demos.
I have a brief study I did from a torso in your first-page post in my thread. (my sketch thread is here; http://www.conceptart.org/forums/sho....php?p=2004966 ) It's not much, but it provoked a mini-revelation in me as I was drawing it that I talk about in my thread. On that note, I would like to ask you - any suggestions for how I should go about doing studies from your work? Edit: Or better yet, any sort of further exercises I could do you could recommend?
Also I am looking at likely enrolling in your school for summer 2009, which should be a real blast!

Hey. Just got to thank you for the demos you posted. I'm a first year illustration student from Sheridan and I have to say they are really helpful in trying to get anatomy in my head. And since my figure drawing is suffering a bit these are a godsend.
Sucks that I don't live anywhere near Cali, if I did I would try to apply for your classes in a heartbeat. Oh well...
So thanks.

Great song that was originally made by "The Who" bassist, John Entwistle for a children's album. It later became a concert staple for them due to it's success. It is one of the first tracks to utilize the "death growl" of modern metal.
When The Who played Boris The Spider, the crowd went insane and tried to jump on stage.

You are right Tom.
The part was printed on a very expensive Rapid Prototype machine, specifically a ProJet 3500HD Max, that will do 16 micron layers.
You might have missed it, but I have worked a deal with Pavel of Admiralty Model Works. I'm doing CAD work for him in exchange for printing. That is why I haven't made any progress on Batfish. I've been working on items for him for the very purpose you stated, making master models to make molds for resin casting.
I have already completed a RAM launcher, a Goalkeeper CIWS, a WW-II era moto-tug and a WW-II era Tilly crane, all to be made in 1/350 and 1/700 scales. The RAMS came out good. The Goalkeepers needed a redesign. I haven't seen the WW-II parts yet. Here's a picture of them as I received them.
And here are a few pictures of them after I shot them with really bad primer.
Currently, I am working on a 1/350 scale USCGC Bertholf model that has been a lot of fun so far. I am keeping a post…
http://www.shipmodels.info/mws_forum/vi ... 7&t=152833
…But I must admit I miss you guys. I became spoiled by all of your feedback. I'm not getting much on Bertholf.
As for durability, we'll find out. I have designed, and Pavel has printed a couple of test pieces to test different size protrusions, indentions, fillets, chamfers, rods and beams. I believe they have been mailed, so I should get them in the next day or two. The snorkel inductor, periscopes and antenna were pretty small though, and they survived me assembling them. I guess we will learn together.

Patient satisfaction: Meeting healthcare's most fundamental mission
Click here to download now
Overview: As hospitals and clinics strive to boost operational efficiency metrics and rein in rising costs, patient satisfaction is perhaps the best indicator of how a healthcare organization is succeeding in its mission. In an increasingly competitive environment, patient satisfaction is frequently used as a measure that influences accreditation and licensure, compensation under ?pay for performance programs? and quality rankings that affect the choices of well-informed customers. Learn how predictive analytics help healthcare organizations collect and analyze patient satisfaction data to provide a better understanding of patient needs and perceptions to steadily improve quality.

previous: Organon aphorisms § 1 - 8 next: Organon aphorisms § 19 - 29
--- 10 Organon aphorism ---
[6] It is dead, and now only subject to the power of the external physical world; it decays, and is again resolved into its chemical constituents.
--- 11 Organon aphorism ---
[7] What is dynamic influence,—dynamic power ? Our earth, by virtue of a hidden invisible energy, carries the moon around her in twenty-eight days and several hours, and the moon alternately, in definite fixed hours (deducting certain differences which occur with the full and the new moon) raises our northern seas to flood tide and again correspondingly lowers them to ebb. Apparently this takes place not through material agencies, not through mechanical contrivances, as are used for products of human labor; and so we see numerous other events about us as results of the action of one substance on another substance without being able to recognize a sensible connection between cause and effect. Only the cultured, practised in comparison and deduction, can form for himself a kind of supra-sensual idea sufficient to keep all that is material or mechanical in his thoughts from such concepts. He calls such effects dynamic, virtual, that is, such as result from absolute, specific, pure energy and action of the one substance upon the other substance.
For instance, the dynamic effect of the sick-making influences upon healthy man, as well as the dynamic energy of the medicines upon the principle of life in the restoration of health is nothing else than infection and so not in any way material, not in any way mechanical. Just as the energy of a magnet attracting a piece of iron or steel is not material, not mechanical. One sees that the piece of iron is attracted by one pole of the magnet, but HOW it is done is not seen. This invisible energy of the magnet does not require mechanical (material) auxiliary means, hook or lever, to attract the iron. The magnet draws to itself and this acts upon the piece of iron or upon a steel needle by means of a purely immaterial, invisible, conceptual, inherent energy, that is, dynamically, and communicates to the steel needle the magnetic energy equally invisibly (dynamically). The steel needle becomes itself magnetic, even at a distance when the magnet does not touch it, and magnetises other steel needles with the same magnetic property (dynamically) with which it had been endowed previously by the magnetic rod, just as a child with small-pox or measles communicates TO a near, untouched healthy child in an invisible manner (dynamically) the small-pox or measles, that is, infects it at a distance without anything material from the infective child going or capable of going to the one to be infected. A purely specific, conceptual influence communicated to the near child smallpox or measles in the same way as the magnet communicated to the near needle the magnetic property.
In a similar way, the effect of medicines upon living man is to be judged. Substances, which are used as medicines, are medicines only in so far as they possess each its own specific energy to alter the well-being of man through dynamic, conceptual influence, by means of the living sensory fibre, upon the conceptual, controlling principle of life. The medicinal property of those material substances which we call medicines proper, relates only to their energy to call out alterations in the well-being of animal life. Only upon this conceptual principle of life, depends their medicinal health-altering, conceptual (dynamic) influence. Just as the nearness of a magnetic pole can communicate only magnetic energy to the steel (namely, by a kind of infection) but cannot communicate other properties (for instance, more hardness or ductility, etc.). And thus every special medicinal substance alters through a kind of infection, that well-being of man in a peculiar manner exclusively its own and not in a manner peculiar to another medicine, as certainly as the nearness of the child ill with small-pox will communicate to a healthy child only smallpox and not measles. These medicines act upon our well-being wholly without communication of material parts of the medicinal substances, thus dynamically, as if through infection. Far more healing energy is expressed in a case in point by the smallest dose of the best dynamized medicines, in which there can be, according to calculation, only so little of material substance that its minuteness cannot be thought and conceived by the best arithmetical mind, than by large doses of the same medicine in substance. That smallest dose can therefore contain almost entirely only the pure, freely-developed, conceptual medicinal energy, and bring about only dynamically such great effects as ean never be reached by the crude medicinal substance itself taken in large doses.
It is not in the corporeal atoms of these highly dynamized medicines, nor their physical or mathematical surfaces (with which the higher energies of the dynamized medicines are being interpreted but vainly as still sufficiently material) that the medicinal energy is found. More likely, there lies invisible in the moistened globule or in its solution, an unveiled, liberated, specific, medicinal force contained in the medicinal substance which acts dynamically by contact with the living animal fibre upon the whole organism (without communicating to it anything material however highly attenuated) and acts more strongly the more free and more immaterial the energy has become through the dynamization.
Is it then so utterly impossible for our age celebrated for its wealth in clear thinkers to think of dynamic energy as something non-corporeal, since we see daily phenomena which cannot be explained in any other manner? If one looks upon something nauseous and becomes inclined to vomit, did a material emetic come into his stomach which compels him to this anti-peristaltic movement? Was it not solely the dynamic effect of the nauseating aspect upon his imagination? And if one raises his arm, does it occur through a material visible instrument? a lever? Is it not solely the conceptual dynamic energy of his will which raises it?
--- 12 Organon aphorism ---
[8] HOW the vital force causes the organism to display morbid phenomena, that is, HOW it produces disease, it would be of no practical utility to the physician to know, and will forever remain concealed from him; only what it is necessary for him to know of the disease and what is fully sufficient for enabling him to cure it, has the Lord of life revealed to his senses.
--- 16 Organon aphorism ---
[9] Most severe disease may be produced by sufficient disturbance of the vital force through the imagination and also cured by the same means.
--- 17 Organon aphorism ---
[10] A warning dream, a superstitious fancy, or a solemn prediction that death would occur at a certain day or at a certain hour, has not infrequently produced all the signs of commencing and increasing disease, of approaching death and death itself at the hour announced, which could not happen without the simultaneous production of the inward change (corresponding to the state observed externally) ; and hence in such cases all the morbid signs indicative of approaching death have frequently been dissipated by an identical cause, by some cunning deception or persuasion to a belief in the contrary, and health suddenly restored, which could not have happened without the removal, by means of this moral remedy, of the internal and external morbid change that threatened death.
[11] It is only thus that God, the Preserver of mankind, could reveal His wisdom and goodness in reference to the cure of the diseases to which man is liable here below, by showing to the physician what he had to remove in diseases in order to annihilate them and thus re-establish health. But what would we think of His wisdom and goodness if He had shrouded in mysterious obscurity that which was to be cured in diseases (as is asserted by the dominant school of medicine, which affects to possess a supernatural insight into the inner nature of things), and shut it up in the hidden interior, and thus rendered it impossible for man to know the malady accurately, consequently impossible for him to cure it?

ASCS-Northwest To Battle For Big Point Fund And Will Visit California In 2014 By Ben Deatherage (Photo Courtesy of Malcolm White Photography) 2014 will be a remarkable year for the American Sprint Car Series-Northwest Region as they will visit seven different race tracks in three different states. Of those seven the tour will visit the Golden State of California for the first time ever as they will compete at Yreka's Siskiyou Motor Speedway on Sunday June 29th to kick off Speedweek Northwest.
ASCS-Northwest will return with its heart-pounding earth-shaking excitement from its kickoff at Lebanon, Oregon's Willamette Speedway in May all the way to September with the champion crowned at the Central Washington State Fair Raceway in scenic Yakima, Washington as they have every year.
The ASCS-Northwest Region will be returning to Oregon's Coos Bay Speedway, Cottage Grove Speedway, Southern Oregon Speedway, Sunset Speedway Park, and Willamette Speedway. The September trip to the Central Washington State Fair Raceway will be the organizations only venture to the Evergreen State in 2014.
Not only will ASCS-Northwest Region fans see action on the best dirt tracks in the Pacific Northwest but they will also see some of the top drivers in the entire Western United States featured in each and every race of 2014.
Drivers and teams of the American Sprint Car Series-Northwest Region will be happy to know that the end of the season point fund will at least be $10,000.00 to be dispersed at the awards banquet. As the year progresses the point fund may go up either by money or contingencies and we will promptly notify every one of any increases. For the latest news and stories regarding the ASCS-Northwest Region log on to www.ascsnorthwest.com.
