Set up 2-Step Verification
Sign in to mobile or desktop apps
Users enrolled in 2-Step Verification need to periodically enter a special verification code, in addition to their username and password, to sign in to Google Apps. When signing in from a web browser, they're prompted to enter this code after entering their password. However, desktop and mobile applications aren't configured to accept a verification code—there's no field for entering it. In these cases, they need to sign in by entering another type of code—called an application-specific password—in place of their Google Account password.
How do my users generate and use application-specific passwords?
Have your users follow the instructions in Sign in using application-specific passwords.
If these directions don't work, you can try these alternate directions- Sign in to your Google Apps Gmail Account and click Account Settings (at the top right corner of the window).
- Click Authorizing applications & sites. (Note: You can only generate application-specific passwords if you're enrolled in 2-Step Verification).
- Go to your Authorized Access to your Google Account page: https://www.google.com/a/your_domain/IssuedAuthSubTokens. Be sure to replace "your_domain" with your actual domain name.
- Enter your password, if prompted.
- On your Authorized Access to your account page, provide a descriptive name for your application-specific password, such as "Gmail Android". (This lets you remember which application it's for, in case you later need to revoke it).
- Click Generate password.
2-Step Verification in a browser vs. a desktop or mobile app
Web Browser application | Desktop application or mobile application | |
What | Enter a 2-Step Verification code | Enter an application-specific password |
How | Get a verification code each time you need one, from your phone | Get an application-specific password once from your Authorized Access to your Google Account page on the web |
When | Once a month or when otherwise prompted | Only once when you set up a new application/device after you've enrolled in 2-Step Verification |
Where | On a second page that appears after entering a username and password | In your Google Apps Password field |
Deployment tips for Google Apps administrators
We recommend administrators to set up a deployment day where your users take their phones and laptops to your Help Desk. We recommend that your IT staff sets up 2-Step Verification for your users and enters the application-specific passwords where needed in their mobile devices and desktop applications. We also recommend that you train your users when to use 2-Step Verification codes and how to get their codes. See the 2-Step Verification email template to send your users and point your Help Desk or Support staff to this article and Troubleshoot 2-Step Verification to help them get up to speed.
API Developers
If you are a Google Apps API developer and use ClientLogin authentication, after you enroll in 2-Step Verification, you'll need to use an application-specific password in place of your regular password.
Application-specific passwords are machine-generated passwords that you enter in your password field. Application-specific passwords are shown only at creation time, so for persistent API access, we recommend storing them in a secure place, as you would your password. Application-specific passwords do not expire, however, you can revoke them. For more information, see Turn off 2-Step Verification.
How to use your application-specific passwords with APIs
For APIs using ClientLogin authentication, use your API application-specific password in the Passwd attribute when making a POST request to the ClientLogin resource. An XML example of the POST request's body:
There is no difference between an application-specific password used for API access and an application-specific password used to access a desktop or mobile application: both are equivalent and provide the same privileges. To create an API application-specific password, follow the directions in Sign in using application-specific passwords.

gluten + dairy-free mexican chocolate almond cookies recipe
'... I have a question for you - I recently bought a premix packet for Mexican Chocolate Almond Cookies. It is AMAZINGLY tasty. I can't really afford to keep buying the premixes so thought briefly about having a go at recreating them myself. But it's really not my forte! I thought about you and wondered if you would be inspired to make them for your blog?
These are the ingredients: ground almonds, brown sugar, rice flour, cocoa powder, chopped raw almonds, corn flour, unrefined sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, salt, cayenne powder, oil, egg, water.
Thanks so much.'
Lastly, my Dad and his girlfriend are visiting from New Zealand for a few days next week so just a pre-warning that things might be a little quiet around here again in the coming week. It's the first time I've seen anyone from my family since we moved over to Perth from NZ a year and a half ago so I don't need to really tell you how super excited I am, but yeah... I am! It doesn't feel like that long for me but judging by what Kye said to me at dinnertime tonight it's a really long time in a little kids world... 'Will Grandpa be able to understand us when we talk mum? Does he understand Aussie?'
P.S Thank you Babble. So stoked!
As always, I use Whittakers dark chocolate which is dairy free like most good quality dark chocolates are. However if you are severely allergic to dairy, search for a certified dairy-free chocolate. You want to be able to taste the chilli in these cookies without it blowing your head off. I used around 1/2 teaspoon of ground chilli flakes (pounded in my mortar and pestle until powder) and found this was perfect. If you are unsure, add 1/4 teaspoon and then taste the cookie dough, adding more to taste.
makes approx 16 cookies, allowing for a generous amount of raw cookie-dough eating.
- 1/2 cup (55g) almond meal (ground almonds)
- 1/2 cup (60g) fine brown rice flour
- 1/4 cup (25g) cornflour (corn starch)
- 1/2 cup (55g) cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup (55g) muscovado sugar, or use brown sugar
- 1/4 cup (50g) unrefined raw sugar
- 1 teaspoon (gluten-free) baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- pinch fine sea salt
- 1/4-1/2 teaspoon chilli powder/cayenne pepper
- 1/2 cup (65g) lightly toasted almonds*, roughly chopped
- 1/2 cup ( 60g) dark (dairy-free) chocolate, roughly chopped
- 1/4 cup (60ml) vegetable oil (olive oil, rice bran, coconut oil etc...)
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1-2 tablespoons rice or other dairy-free milk
Preheat oven to 180C/350F. Line a oven tray with baking paper or grease with oil.
Roll 2 tablespoons of mixture into a ball, flatten and place on oven tray. Repeat with remaining dough. Cook in the middle oven shelf for 12-15 minutes until just cooked. These cookies do not flatten out much more once cooked, so do flatten into shape before cooking. Once cooked, remove from the oven and set aside to cool on the tray. Will store airtight for 2-3 days, although I like them best when eaten on the day of baking.
Inspired by a list of ingredients from of the back of a pre-mix, that was emailed in from a reader of this blog.

They look awesome but I'm wondering if I can substitute wheat for rice flour as that's all I've got in my cupboard right now and for some reason, I have serious need for chocolate cookies! ;)
ReplyDeleteOh, and I just remembered to go back and click on the Babble link. Congrats on being named #17 in their Top 100 Mom Bloggers listing--woohoo for you!!
ShirleyMade these yesterday afternoon - they were amazing and better then the original!! Moister, and with chunks or real choc - incredible. Thanks so much, my new favourite biscuit recipe :) Really appreciate you taking the time to re-create this for me x
ReplyDeleteLovely use of chocolate. It would be super if you linked this post in to Food on Friday : Chocolate
ReplyDeleteHi! Thanks so much for the recipe! I'm not gluten intolerant myself but a friend of mine is, and i had been looking for a recipe like this for her for a while! I always had these kind of cookies as a kid, my granda called them chocolate spice cookies. I had made a batch, and got a sad puppy face from Heather when she saw them! i'm really excited to try making these! they look really fantastic and easy to follow for someone new to gluten free!
Thanks!Oh my goodness. These make GF living bearable. Just out of the oven, with the chocolate still soft. Mmmmmmm. Thank you so much!
ReplyDeleteyummyyy....! these cookies looked amazing, dense and moist. loved the texture of cookies. i will surely try them. thank you so much for this delicious recipe.
werbe adventskalender- Jaz BrainJanuary 24, 2013 at 11:05 AM
I made these yesterday afternoon and they are fantastic! I took them to our family dinner (as there are a few chilli, and definitely many chocolate freaks!!) and they were devoured :) really easy to make and they turned out perfectly, I love it how they keep their shape as a lot of GF cookies don't. I've saved these as a definite favourite, thanks so much for posting!

Biltmore Worship - Orchestra Rehearsal
The choir, orchestra, band and worship leaders of Biltmore Baptist Church are not a performing organization. We are a group of people who love the Lord and want to praise Him with our skills, abilities and talents, however great or small.
Our ultimate goal is to lead by example in worship during every service. We sing so that we can instruct, teach and encourage everyone who comes to our church to grow closer to Christ through exuberant praise and adoration. Our purpose is to lead our church together as an impenetrable army of worshipers that unyieldingly puts our focus on God.
Our Challenge to You:We challenge every person who walks through our doors to uproariously worship out loud!

Paranoia as Patriotism:
Sometime Klansman and neo-Nazi Louis R. Beam has been a
leading advocate of anti-government sedition and various forms
of "Aryan" violence for more than a quarter of a century.
In 1968, Beam joined Robert Shelton's United Klans of America
(UKA) and in 1976 switched to
David Duke's Knights of the
His chief responsibility in the Klans was to instruct the
"knights" in guerrilla warfare.
In 1981, Beam became "Ambassador-at-Large" for
Aryan Nations,
a violence-prone, Nazi-like hate group headquartered in Idaho.
Beam has been touted as a possible successor to the
organizations 77-year-old leader,
Richard Butler. He has built
a computer network for the group, featuring an assassination
"point system" through which a participant could be designated
an "Aryan Warrior" based on the importance of the politician,
civil rights leader, police officer, or minority group member
that he managed to kill.
In 1983, Beam told a crowd: "I'm here to tell you that if we
can't have this country, as far as I'm concerned, no one gets
it. The guns are cocked, the bullets are in the chamber. ...
We're going to fight and live or we're going to die soon." His
philosophical watchword, reported stated in a 1970s terror
campaign against Vietnamese fisherman [sic] in Texas, is
"Where ballots fail, bullets will prevail."
In April 1987, Beam and 11 other extremists were indicted in
Arkansas on charges involving conspiracy to overthrow the
government. Before the indictment was issued, Beam fled to
Mexico, where he was arrested after a shootout and returned
for trial. A jury later acquitted Beam and his codefendants on
all charges.
In February 1992, Beam issued in his quarterly publication,
The Seditionist, an appeal for a concept called "leaderless
resistance," described as an alternative to the "leadership"
structure in "underground" groups. In this alternative,
activity is autonomous, organized around ideology rather than
leaders. It is explained as a system for keeping secret the
plans of terrorist assaults against the Government, known only
to a few individuals in small leaderless cells in order to
prevent leaks or infiltration. The concept was fathered in
1962 by Col. Ulius Amoss, the founder of an anti-Communist
organization, International Services of Information, Inc., who
feared a Communist takeover of America. (Interestingly, this
is also the organizational pattern employed by some foreign
terrorist groups.)
With Soviet Communism no longer a threat, Beam wrote that "the
purpose of Leaderless Resistance is to defeat state tyranny."
He added: "Like the fog which forms when conditions are right
and disappears when they are not, so must the resistance to
tyranny be."
Beam recently attended a gun rights rally whose sponsoring
group, according to the Spokane Spokesman-Review, includes
militia members and sympathizers. He also attended the most
recent Aryan Nations World Congress, and in 1995 purchased
property not far from that organization's northern Idaho
compound.(Anti-Defamation League, 33-34)

(July 26, 2010) — Screen Actors Guild today commemorates the 20th anniversary of the signing of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). President Obama will host an event marking the date on the South Lawn of the White House this afternoon with members of SAG in attendance as well as Adam Moore, SAG associate director of Affirmative Action & Diversity.
In commemoration of the 20th Anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), Screen Actors Guild Affirmative Action & Diversity invite you to attend its inaugural Dare to Be Diverse free screening, Sympathy for Delicious in Los Angeles, starring Christopher Thornton, Mark Ruffalo, Orlando Bloom, Juliette Lewis and Laura Linney. Written by Christopher Thornton and directed by Mark Ruffalo.
2 p.m., Monday, July 26
Join your fellow SAG members in Los Angeles on Friday night at a screening of the award-winning documentary A Place to Live, followed by a Q&A with the producers and director — as well as an appearance by the subjects of the film itself.
Los Angeles (May 13, 2010) - On April 26, 2010, Newsweek printed an article entitled "Straight Jacket" in which contributor Ramin Setoodeh contends that audiences do not accept openly gay actors playing straight roles, while offering no proof to support this claim other than his own discomfort. Screen Actors Guild rejects the notion that lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender (LGBT) actors are restricted in the roles they can play.
As part of its ongoing effort to discover and develop culturally and ethnically diverse talent and actors with disabilities, the Disney ABC Television Group's Casting Project will hold auditions for consideration for the ABC Talent Showcase-this opportunity also affords the majority of participants the chance to audition for a variety of ABC (and other networks') pilots and ongoing programming. ABC has a long-standing commitment to promoting diversity in the entertainment industry through a variety of projects administered by its Talent Development & Casting departments.

This technique is Hidan's primary method of killing his opponents in the way of the Jashin religion.
First, Hidan makes every effort to draw blood from his opponent and ingest it. His skin then turns black with white markings which makes him look like a skeleton, a symbol of absolute death. He then draws Jashin's symbol on the ground in blood and stands in the centre. This serves as the link between him and his victim.
Once his sacrificial ritual takes place, the victim is linked with Hidan until he either steps or is forced out of the circle. Any kind of injury that Hidan inflicts upon himself (or the injury they inflicted on him) is reciprocated on his target, be it a mere scratch to a pierce in the heart. If Hidan is forced to step out of the circle, the link is broken and the victim is set free, but all Hidan has to do is to step back into the circle to reactivate the link. Basically, this technique makes Hidan a living voodoo doll.
- Hidan's immortality is due to the "successful experiment of the Jashin religion's secret technique", so he can fatally torture his opponents in any way he desires without killing himself, and he clearly enjoys the pain as well. However, he does indeed complain that it hurts like one normally does in pain, after he finished off Asuma.

Day Off - Chicago-3
14 May 2001
Day Off - Chicago-3
This morning and afternoon, whilst most of our touring party was still unconscious, a huge storm blew into Chicago, making for pretty spectacular scenes over Lake Michigan. I had planned to go sight seeing, but the torrential rain looked like it was going to take the edge of the pleasure of a gentle stroll. By 3 or 4 things had cleared up, so I ventured out with my buddy Harold who's here visiting. We went out to a suburb called Oak Park, which was home to legendary architect Frank Lloyd Wright. Its a pretty residential area, with most buildings dating back to the turn of the century and many of them designed by FLW himself. We picked up a map from the FLW museum and took a lengthy and leisurely walk around the neighbourhood. I absolutely loved it, as there's some beautiful buildings. He was a man unafraid, was our Frankie. Most amazing of all though is the time he was working. A lot of these places look like classic Art Deco buildings, but they were designed and built in 1905 or earlier, 30 years before Deco went mainstream.
By nightfall we were pretty shagged, due to last night's excesses, so decided to make use of the DVD player in my hotel room. The hotel we're staying in is absolutely fabulous, but as the week has worn on, some of its 'eccentricities' are coming to the fore. They have a DVD library, so having inspected the extensive selection listing, I rang reception and asked them to send up 'High Fidelity'. "Ah, yeah Sar, at once, you hab secon choy?" Second choice.... OK, how about 'The Birds'? "OK Sar, 'Hey Fodilito' and 'Der Bards', yes, right way". I wasn't overly surprised when the phone rang five minutes later. "So sorry, we no have, you have thirt choi for me now?" No worries, then, let's do 'Bladerunner', with a back up plan of 'Dog Day Afternoon'. "Ah yeh, Sar, BadeRarr an Doe Dae Arboloon". I settled back to wait for the next phone call, and was slightly surprised to hear a knock at the door. Outside was our video librarian proffering a DVD. Wesley Snipes in "Blade". Well, it was a valiant effort, I suppose. No, no, I explain before she attempted to escape, this is the wrong movie, I wanted BladeRUNNER. "Ah OK, I go get now". Five minutes later and not entirely unexpectedly, the phone rings again. "No, Brado, sar. So sorry we no have...." Shall I come down and have a look for myself? "Ah yes...." Down in the hotel lobby there was no sign of the DVD librarian, so I asked an entirely different person behind the counter, whom I have never seen before, if I could have a look at the video collection. She rather nonchalantly took me to a large cupboard, pulled open the door to reveal about a hundred DVDs and walked away, without enquiring as to who I was or even if I was staying at the hotel. Little wonder they haven't got much of their collection left, I mused, as I looked along the shelves, picked out 'High Fidelity' & 'The Birds' and went back to my room.

Oct 31, 2012Just played the first two sequences and I am already stunned
The combat is amazing, every action doesn't feel like separate action but chained together
The animation engine is really good
There is some glitches but it's nothing that can't be fix
10/10 and is surely the best Assassin's Creed -
Oct 30, 2012AC3 is a all new AC Experience, it has a Read Dead Redemption feeling and the best things that you love on AC series. You watch the trailers, demos and theres no surprise, it is amazing like you saw by Ubisoft. Maybe GOTY 2012.
Nov 9, 2012Great game! The new location is a good change of pace than the rooftop heavy predecessors of the series. Combat and the new techniques have good additions too. Loved the AC series and this is a good step for the assassin.
Nov 1, 2012
Nov 12, 2014
Oct 30, 2012wow.... This game is really fantastic. Great art production, expansive, ambitious, and long as hell.... Best of the series hands down. The open world environment is incredible, the graphics are unbelievable, and the game itself marks a huge shift in the series.
Nov 15, 2012
Oct 31, 2012Assassin's Creed III takes everything that worked well in previous titles, sprinkled in a touch of Red Dead Redemption, tweaked thecombat to be as smooth as Batman: Arkham City, borrowed the cinematic and character development of Uncharted 2, and polished it all off to be one of, if not the very best, game of 2012.
Oct 31, 2012Look, this game isn't really a 10 but i gave it that score to counter all those negative scores from butthurt trolls that are mad because this game is 15x times better than thier favourite generic shooter, CoD.
Oct 30, 2012Nothing can top this game, amazing cinematically, compelling story line, immersive combat are only few of the many features Assassin's Creed III brings to the table. Game of the year for sure!
Oct 30, 2012As good as Assassin
Oct 30, 2012GREAT GAME!! If you enjoyed any of the previous AC games this is a must own. I love how it weaves AC and American history together for a great experience. I am not done with it yet but I do have about 4 hours into it and so far everything is great.
Oct 31, 2012People need to stop trolling, it's really makes me sad seeing trolls giving this game 0's without even stating one valid reason, this game isn't perfect but it's the best this year, way better than ohter rushed games that surprisngly, got better scores than this.
Oct 31, 2012Only idiots would score this game a Zero. Aside form a few manageable bugs this game is a big improvement from the last game, specially the graphics. The environment is simply stunning and the combat is better
Nov 6, 2012
Oct 31, 2012
Oct 30, 2012I'll make this brief and to the point... this game is the best in the series ignore other people taking about bugs, all games have bugs... bottom line is if u like like the AC series u'll love this and if u have never played a AC game before this this the perfect place to start.
Oct 30, 2012Game of the Year contender! Frontier hunting + Ship battles = Awesome! The game also has a very good replay value. Graphics are nice. I don't see any competition here. Dishonored = too short. Halo 4 = more of the same. Black Ops 2 = more of the same.
Nov 2, 2012My favorite Assassin's Creed by FAR, with the most developed protagonist yet. Connor is more elegant and brutal than his forebears, and the sheer scope of it's story, wilderness, towns and gameplay offer the most immersive AC yet. Naval battles, and Red Dead Redemption style hunt and trade system are welcome additions.
Oct 30, 2012
Nov 1, 2012
Oct 30, 2012amazing Enthralling, thematically rich storytelling Tense and atmospheric sea battles It's a joy to watch your homestead develop Amazing attention to historical and visual details Lots of rewarding missions to undertake.
Oct 31, 2012If you can ignore all the bugs of this game, AC3 have everything and more of what a GOTY game is supposed to be like. The hunting, crafting and side missions all make the game so much more enjoyable. The story is one of the best this generation has to offer and you would do yourself a great favour by purchasing this.
Oct 31, 2012
Oct 31, 2012This game blows me away. I think its so funny reading all the negative reviews. So far i like everything about this game and it really stands out as an achievement in the gaming industry. pat on the backs to everyone at ubisoft for a fantastic worth every penny game. thanks
Oct 31, 2012not better than ac2 but its sure much more better than ac brotherhood and ac revelations............Even after the first ten hours you will still find yourself learning new things
Nov 1, 2012Utterly brilliant, and by far the best in the series yet. Single-player and Multiplayer both fantastic. Game of the year no doubt and a definite must buy.
Nov 1, 2012Pure amazing work from Ubisoft anyone who gives a low score is either gay or does not appreciate great work. Shame on you people go play your call of duty and yell at the screen because your terrible at it and cant stop getting killed.
Nov 1, 2012It is the best AC game I have played so far. I hope they make another game like this. The main points that they have introduced into the game is the hunting mechanic, which includes snares, bait. they introduced bows, tomahawks, pistols, rope darts and the hidden blades can pop out and be used as knives.
Nov 2, 2012This game is Awesome. Ubisoft create a AMAZING game.
GamePlay and graphic and sounds is very good!

Nov 4, 2012Quite easily one of the greatest games ever made. This game is beautiful. With sprawling cities and a massive frontier to explore it is breathtaking. And it is just so much fun. The story is amazing and it constantly pulls you making it almost impossible to put the controller down. If this game doesn't win game of the year and loses to Halo or Black ops 2 I will eat my own head.

Apr 2, 2013Best game of the franchise! Ranks straight As in these categories:: Story A+, voice acting A+, gameplay A+, graphics A, Control A+++. Builds on what the Thief, Metal Gear franchises started (stealth genre) and makes it accessible to the masses, with a bang up story to boot. Give it a try. 'Nough said

Aug 10, 2013This was my first AC game and i loved it to bits. It's huge, great graphics, lots to see, lots to do, lots of reliability, i just had so much fun with it. I've played through it twice so far and will deffo play through again sometime. My only problem with it was the story line was weak in places and i didn't like the modern day sections and the whole animus thing.

Oct 31, 2012This game has an slow start but overall was extremely entertaining! The combat is fast and fun although at times a little easy. Free running is also fast with much more realistic movements. In my opinion Connor is a much more relate-able character than Ezio (even though I love Ezio)

Dec 28, 2013The single player makes you feel exactly like you are actually in the colonies. The mechanics in the gameplay were next to flawless and what was even better is the naval combat. The graphics were great and the A.I needed a tiny bit more work but still it was great. The only bad thing is the multiplayer was greatly uninspired and nobody likes the Desmond part. Overall, great game.
Aug 22, 2014
Oct 30, 2012
Dec 5, 2012At least the petty indignities of the multiplayer are optional and situated around gameplay that's solid and unique, if frustratingly stagnant. In the single-player campaign, however, it's impossible to escape the ham-fisted manipulations of the Assassin's Creed III development team.
Dec 2, 2012Assassin's Creed III is a pretty damn fine game. It loses none of what makes the series fun with the translation to another time and continent, and creates a whole new set of experiences which define the franchise. The biggest issue, if there is one, are the small technical issues, but these niggling technical issues only seem worse because everything else is such a great experience.
Dec 1, 2012Like any game of such scope, not every part of it is perfect. Yet, taken as a whole, there is very little that can compete with its wonderful, lavish, historical playground. [Issue#91, p.22]

it may be oss and thats great, but is not working for what people need it and thats: netflix.
netflix works on everything except desktop linux.
is like having an oss flash that cant load youtube videos... what would that be good for?
i dont see much future for this project, specially with html5.
Fortunately, netflix users are a tiny tiny minority of the world. Look at the big picture: 99.999% simply doesn't care one way or another. Some may actually find the lack of DRM refreshing.
Now, I agree that Silverlight/Moonlight doesn't have much of a future in the web. Microsoft is now pitching Silverlight as a platform for rich desktop and intranet applications, plus a content (video) delivery mechanism. For regular web development, they actually support HTML5+CSS3+JS+SVG now (which is a very surprising turn, given their past).
Personally speaking, I consider Silverlight/Moonlight as a low-cost way to build simple, cross-platform GUIs. It is a big step up from Swing/WinForms/WPF (which are the de-facto standards in the corporate world) and has a significantly lower development cost than Qt/GTK/Cocoa. Perfect for LOB applications.
I also consider the cross-platform nature of Silverlight an advantage. You will probably not see any Silverlight applications on your desktop, but Silverlight *can* influence a company's decision to move from Windows to Linux (if their day-to-day infrastructure is built on Silverlight then a Linux transition is possible. Think of Moonlight as a trojan horse into the Microsoft-held corporate world).

by Kristen Schaub Mini size, mighty sound The deceptively small Imagine Mini is sure to make a big sonic impact in your home. Expect to hear the kind of realistic sound PSB's larger Imagine series speakers are known for — including an impressively large soundstage and surprisingly low bass — from a speaker that's both versatile and cute. A pair of Imagine Minis makes an impressive desktop system. Or use them with any of the other speakers in the Imagine family to create a multichannel home theater system. Plus, their compact, seamlessly curved cabinets make them ideal for stylish urban environments where space is at a premium. The Imagine Mini comes in five beautiful finishes: Black Ash, High-gloss White, High-gloss Black, Dark Cherry, and Walnut. Precise driver design for natural sound The drivers are mounted flush with the smooth front baffles for improved sound dispersion. Each Imagine Mini features a highly accurate 1" titanium dome tweeter that produces smooth, sparkling highs. The 4-1/2" woofer uses a proprietary ceramic-filled polypropylene cone, which makes it very stiff and light. The resulting midrange is clean and balanced, with tight bass response. A highly efficient motor structure drives the woofer, and uses a unique compound magnet that helps to reduce any audible distortion from the speaker. It means you'll hear every note as clearly and accurately as it was recorded by the artist. PSB's Imagine speakers feature acoustically inert enclosures, with seamless, unbroken surfaces that are beautiful to look at. Solid, elegantly curved cabinets All Imagine speakers have smooth, 1-1/2"-thick front baffles that blend almost seamlessly with the seven-layer laminated MDF side, top, and bottom panels. Plus, the heavy internal bracing ensures an impressively solid, acoustically inert enclosure. The top, side, and bottom panels of the Black Ash, Dark Cherry, and Walnut speakers are clad in a real wood veneer that's hand selected for its beauty and quality. The High-gloss Black and High-gloss White speakers are finished with multiple coats of high-gloss paint, hand-polished to a stunning shine. Got wire? Most speakers don't include any. Learn about choosing and installing speaker wire at the Crutchfield Learning Center. Shop our selection of speaker wire.

(each)warranty: 5 yearsOur 60-day money-back guarantee Why choose bookshelf speakers? Bookshelf speakers may be small in size, but they can deliver surprisingly big sound. Some ultra-compact models even fit on a desktop. Most are right at home in tight spaces like shelves, so they're usually good choices for your home theater's rear channels. For the best performance, try placing bookshelf speakers on solid speaker stands to help the sound really "open up." If you want full bass impact, add a powered subwoofer and enjoy punchy sound that's as deeply satisfying as that of floor-standing speakers.
PSB speakers Imagine mini Written By Majed, Massachusetts on Sunday, February 22, 2015 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) If you are looking for warmth and clarity, and if you listen to vocals/Jazz, or chamber classical music, these are the speakers you need. Johnny Hartman with John Coltrane, Diana Krall, cello suites of Bach by Starker sound out of this world. Get these if you are an audiophile Pros: Crisp sound and great eparation of musical instruments and warmth with long hours of listening without fatigue. Great look as well and little footprint. Cons: None so far for my usage
Amazing speaker, small profile Written By Dustin, Ohio on Friday, January 23, 2015 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) These speakers are amazing. I needed something small because of my set up. These are so loud and so crisp! They have more power than I could ever use and fit in my room great.
Great little speakers Written By Russ, South Carolina on Thursday, January 15, 2015 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I have these speakers paired with with a Marantz PM5005 In my living room. (about 350sq.ft) and they have no trouble filling the space. Bass levels are incredible for a speaker this size. Overall sound is spectacular. Pros: Fantastic Speaker. Not cheap but well worth the price. Cons: none
Awsome little speakers Written By Jose I, Bethesda MD on Monday, October 20, 2014 These speakers are small enough that they will fit any room, yet amazingly clear and powerful enough that they will deliver very decent bass. When hooked up to a home theatre system they offer a level of detail and clarity which I had not heard in the Energy speakers I had before, voices are crisp yet full, music sounds more like music out of a stereo system than a out of a home theater system. They are not cheap, but you won't be disappointed.
Great speakers Written By JimS, Yonkers, NY on Tuesday, February 25, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) The sound out of these speakers are excellent. I particularly love the sound from a full chorus and classical. Piano music is crisp! They even hold up for LP's...not many speakers today can perform that test.
Fantastic Sound in a Small Package Written By Bob, Athens, Georgia on Saturday, June 01, 2013 When I called Crutchfield for advice on which speakers to purchase, the representative with whom I spoie strongly suggested the PSB Imagine Mini. I was skeptical at first, but I decided to accept the advice I was hearing. The fact that I could return the speakers if I did not like them also played an important role in my decision to buy the SBs. Needless to say, I have been very pleased with these mighty minies. The sound quality is very clear and clean which was promised. The small size of these speakers makes it possible to move the speakers at will and still enjoy the sound. I listen mainly to classical music. With these speakers I am hearing detail that until now had eluded my ears. Don't let the small size of these speakers put you off. I am of the firm opinion that I am hearing high quality sound over the entire audio spectrum. Now that I have positioned these little jewels for the best possible sound, I have no reservations at all about my decision to purchase these speakers. Pros: very clean sound Cons: Spending $1000 more might have brough a better speaker. Right now, I doubt it.
Amazing, and they get better with break in Written By Joe, Connecticut on Sunday, January 27, 2013 I had the Image B4s but swapped them out for these due to lack of bass in the B4s and a desire for more clarity. I was not disappointed. These have amazingly clear and tight bass that goes deep enough that a sub is not needed. It is not bloaty or boomy. With an amp with tone control, you can even feel the bass. These are absolutely amazing. The imaging is great. The only downside is the treble is very slightly rolled off. Pros: Clarity, tight and articulate bass, size, very musical but not colored Cons: Slightly rolled off treble
PSB IMAGINE MINI Written By Bill S, Pasadena, CA on Sunday, May 20, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I've had a pair of PSB Imagine Ts in the past, so between my own experience and all the great reviews in the press, I had high hopes for the Imagine Minis. They exceeded my expectations by a longshot. The imaging and tonal balance is terrific. My wife and I just sat in amazement at what these little guys could do. I had originally planned to use them as surrounds but after auditioning them, I decided they were going into my office system, paired with a Peachtree Nova integrated amplifier. There isn't a lot of low end, but more than I anticipated. What you do get is nothing short of amazing coming from a 4" LF Driver in a cabinet smaller than a half gallon milk container. They're not full-sized towers, so it isn't fair to compare them to something with multiple LF drivers and a high volume cabinet. However, pairing the Minis with a solid sub yields pretty magical results. I've placed mine in a bookshelf without a sub and am very happy with the results. I recommend these to anyone seeking a small, high quality speaker. Pros: Great imaging, small footprint, smooth, even tonal balance Cons: A little expensive but worth it
Took a while, but... Written By Tom, Rochester NY on Sunday, April 08, 2012 I got these as surrounds to go along with Synchrony 2 T&C, driven by an NAD T787. Because of the odd shape of my living room, wanted more "wall mount friendly" surrounds than my old DefTech SM350s had been, and mating the Minis with the new PSB wall mount made sense. The 350s provided the fullest sound and dispersion that I'd had previously with surrounds, so I was used to that. When I got the Minis mounted, I was expecting a lot, but was initially very disappointed -- both with sound quality and achieving a decent surround effect. I was thinking that I'd made a big mistake. But I played around quite a bit with positioning them, and streamed Airplay for many hours in multi-channel stereo mode to see if breaking them in would help. It did -- after several days they opened up, and the overall sound quality was significantly better. Regarding surround sound positioning, though, these speakers are very directional (makes sense, as not much "bottom"), and thus respond quite differently with just very minor vertical and horizontal tweaks of the wall mount. I typically just use surrounds for TV/Movies, and as long as I'm close to a sweet spot, these provide good quality surround sound, can easily handle anything thrown at them from the surround channels (have them crossed over at 80Hz). Based on sound quality, these would be exceptional choices as fronts for a small system/room. As surrounds for a larger system, they're very good, but do have some limitations. Pros: Sound quality, size, musical, wall-friendly with the PSB wall mount, blend in OK with Synchrony fronts & center Cons: Not much low end, long break-in period, very directional
Sound unexpected! Written By Morton, San Francisco Bay Area on Sunday, February 26, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Because of its size the Mini can't be expected to produce the lowest of lows - etc - however what the Mini does is unexpected joy. Having several systems and speakers of varied size the overall pleasant neutrality of the music puts it into a niche of comfortable listening and most certianly hearing comfort not found too often in speakers larger and far more costly. Other speakers in my stable are small to large floor standers, and I must confess don't give my ears the comfort and seeming accuacy these small speakers give forth. I' m using one of my NAD amplifiers to fire them up along with a NAD and Marantz CD - Have been very pleased with Crutchfield and their return policy they give to customers, albiet, they won't see their product returned.
I wanted to like them.... Written By Steve, Nashville on Saturday, February 18, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I really wanted to like these speakers, they look great, feel very solidly built. The sound just was not what I had hoped....sound was somewhat empty to me, no rich warm feel. Crutch field is top notch and accepted my return.

1969 Ford Mustang - Coupe 2 Fastback
Written by on October 28, 2009 Classic Automotive Restoration Specialists Builds A '69 Mustang, Converting It From A Coupe To A SportsRoofAs so often happens, the buildup of this car began in a bar. A few years ago, our Senior Vice President, Doug Evans, was sitting at the bar in the Peabody hotel in Memphis, knocking back a few with Editor-In-Chief Freiburger.
Evans: "You know, I love '69 Mustang SportsRoofs, but they are outta sight and getting hard to find, even rust buckets. Coupes are cheap enough, but I just am not crazy about the lines."
Freiburger: "Well, we built a crate Camaro."
Both in unison: "How about a coupe-to-fastback conversion kit?"
More beers and four years later, the car is finished. A '69 coupe was bought from Ron Coleman of Comp Cams, and Jim Barber at Classic Automotive Restoration Specialists (www.classicautomotiverestoration.com) was charged with making it happen. Jim conspired with a number of sheetmetal suppliers to assemble a kit with all-new steel to convert a coupe to a fastback.
That sounds like a lot of work, doesn't it? Well it is, and we wanted to know just how involved the swap would be, so we went to CARS' shop in Belews Creek, North Carolina, to see for ourselves. There are Mustang coupe fans out there who are probably cringing right now, and we hear ya, but c'mon, admit it-a fastback just looks better.
After roughly 50 hours of measuring a coupe and a fastback next to each other, Jim found out that the differences in the two body styles were significant-it's more than just the roof and quarters. The fastback's A-pillar is laid back 5 degrees farther than the coupe's, which also makes the door glass different. The coupe's windshield is 1.185 inches taller and the coupe's roof is 1.250 inches higher. Therefore, there are 22 different inner structure pieces and 35 total pieces needed for the conversion. Jim tooled up 16 of the pieces on his own, so CARS is the only place you can get the complete conversion kit.
The sheetmetal kit sells for $5,950 and includes all the inner and outer panels needed for the conversion. For $7,550 you get all the metal plus the glass, weatherstripping, chrome trim, and interior panels. Labor is on you (though CARS charges $4,000 for the conversion, not counting paint), and it's pretty significant. We strongly advise against anyone trying to tackle this on their own unless they have a wealth of bodywork experience. But the CARS crew had done this before, and while we watched, they had the coupe cut apart and the new fastback steel tack-welded in place in a day and a half. There was still quite a bit of work left to do in final fitting, welding, and all the other work necessary to get the car ready for paint.
The end result, as you can see in the photos, was stunning, and for more reason than just the roof conversion. CARS built the entire car from the ground up with a 341hp, Inglese-inducted, Racing Head Service 302, a TCI AODE automatic, and a complete Total Control Products suspension. With a custom black interior and Pioneer tunes, it's a nice car to drive. And we proved it by stealing the keys and beating on it at the dragstrip and at a private road course.
The engine was built for driving, so we knew it wouldn't tear up the quarter-mile, but at Bradenton Motorsports Park in Florida, the Mustang ran 14.07 at 90 mph (9.30 at 73 in the eighth-mile) with Super Chevy Editor Jim Campisano doing the driving. We're sure that with a Ford guy behind the wheel it would go faster. (Sorry, Jim, couldn't resist). For the road course portion of the drive, we used a track in the hills of North Carolina built by a wealthy gentleman for his own private use. It's a long story on how we ended up there (and especially how we left), but the gist is we got a chance to really wail on the car. We didn't time the laps since there was no representative data from other cars to compare it with, but the thing cornered hard and flat on the BFGoodrich rubber (and without the tires rubbing anywhere) and felt good doing it. The rack-and-pinion steering was a little vague, but otherwise, it was as solid as an anvil. The Total Control parts really worked well, especially considering this isn't a light car.
Looking at it, you'd never know this Mustang did not start life as a fastback. And driving it, you don't care.

Wang tries to solve Toronto's road woes in Houston
Veteran makes spot start opposite Peacock, impressive since callup
The Blue Jays' road woes continued Friday, when they took their sixth-straight loss of a 10-game road trip, dropping a 12-4 decision to the Astros at Minute Maid Park.
Toronto was hurt severely by the extra-base hit in the series opener, allowing three triples, four doubles, and a pair of home runs. Chien-Ming Wang will make a spot start Saturday -- his first outing back from Triple-A since July 2 -- trying to limit the damage and give the bullpen a break.
"I think we're just going to need one start," Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said. "That's the way it turned out with the doubleheader [Tuesday] and then an off-day [Thursday]. He has been up here, he's a seasoned vet, he had some good starts for us, and he was doing fine down there. Everything kind of fell in line."
Wang was 1-1 with a 7.13 ERA and 11 strikeouts in 24 innings in five starts with the Blue Jays this season.
The Astros, who have the youngest team in the Majors, have been using a six-man rotation for most of the second half and will turn to Brad Peacock in the second game of their three-game set.
"I think, more importantly, it gives us an opportunity to have one of those [starters] down in the bullpen on their bullpen day, and it also give us an opportunity, if you run into a tough start, you have a guy you can push up because he's going to get extra rest," Astros manager Bo Porter said of the extra arm in the rotation.
Peacock, 25, has a 1.86 ERA over his last three starts since a promotion from Triple-A, striking out 20 in 19 1/3 innings. Last time out, he tossed 6 1/3 scoreless innings against the Angels, holding them to four hits and two walks, while striking out five.
"I had everything," Peacock said. "It was the best I felt since I've been up here. Glad to have a good one. My curveball was working good, slider was great. Changeup could be a little better, but I had some good ones in there and got some ground balls in there."
Blue Jays: Goins makes big league debut
Infielder Ryan Going made his Major League debut Friday night, going 2-for-4 just a three-hour drive from his hometown of Round Rock, Texas. He had more than 20 family members in attendance.
"I'm excited to get it going," Goins said prior to his debut. "I'm excited to get that first at-bat, that first ground ball, first game out of the way. It's going to be a fun time."
The 25-year-old received the promotion Thursday morning, replacing Maicer Izturis, who was placed on the 15-day disabled list with a sprained left ankle.
Goins, who hit .257 in 111 games with Triple-A Buffalo, is known more for his work with the glove than at the plate, and will likely serve as the club's utility infielder.
"He's champing at the bit," manager John Gibbons said. "[Munenori] Kawasaki is going to get most of the playing time, but Goins you can bounce around at short and third if you needed to. That's where he's best suited with us."
Astros: Clark gets first taste of the Majors
It's been 11 years since Cody Clark started playing professional baseball, and he finally got his first taste of the big leagues.
"It's a dream come true, really," said Clark, who pinch-hit in the eighth and struck out. "Eleven years in the Minor Leagues, and to get the call [Thursday] and be told I was going up, there was a lot of emotion and just calling my wife and parents. It just meant so much for me to be able to tell them."
The 31-year-old got the call after the Astros placed a pair of catchers on the seven-day concussion DL.
Though the circumstances are less than ideal, Clark is happy to have made it to the Major Leagues.
"Everyone keeps tell me to soak it all in," Clark said. "I want to play ball, and it didn't matter to me if it was in the big leagues or not. I just want to play. If I'm playing, I want to be at the highest level I can be at, and this is a dream come true."
Worth noting
• The Astros are 2-3 against Toronto this season, and the Blue Jays are 1-7 on their road trip.

Plumas Rural Services takes over transit operations
Joshua Sebold
Staff Writer
The Plumas County Board of Supervisors approved the county transportation committee's contract with Plumas Rural Services, making PRS the new provider for Plumas Transit.
The full commission endorsed the committee's recommendation.
At a Tuesday, June 15, BOS meeting, Quincy Supervisor Lori Simpson asked Public Works Director Robert Perreault about the contract cost.
Perreault said it was slightly higher than the previous one but within budget.
Simpson said she would have liked to see the numbers.
Indian Valley and Feather River Canyon Supervisor Robert Meacher said the transportation commission controlled its own money, which just passed through the county in a bureaucratic manner.
He said that meant the BOS approval was "more of a formality."
Perreault said he would send information on the contract's cost to the board members who weren't members of the commission.
Thrall said she was pleased that "for the most part they are retaining all of the current employees and doing business pretty much exactly the same way that they've been doing, which we've been happy with."
Perreault commended Byrne for getting a new contractor in line with only 90 days' notice from the previous contractor that it wouldn't be continuing into the next fiscal year.
He also noted that the new contract called for 150 days' notice on any change so it would be easier next time.

Chemical Cost Increases Seen Driving U.S. Manufacturers to Shift Production Overseas
Boston — June 20, 2007 — A looming U.S. manufacturing crisis poses a threat to the U.S. economy and national security, according to a new report released by AMR Research, the National Association of Manufacturers and the NAM's Manufacturing Institute.
The report reveals that as a result of the increase in the cost and availability of chemicals — a vital raw material for most manufacturers — 25 percent of U.S. manufacturers will move some production overseas if current conditions persist. Across all companies that plan to move production offshore, the average amount of production shifted will be 32 percent.
The report titled, "The Hidden Backbone of U.S. Manufacturing," is based on findings from a survey of 165 U.S. manufacturing companies ranging in size from 100 employees to more than 50,000. The report notes that in a global economy, big cost increases in any local or regional commodity, like chemicals, can make it difficult to manufacture profitably from a U.S. base because competition from overseas makes it nearly impossible to pass those cost increases on to customers. For large companies this problem can be solved by moving production offshore or at least sourcing from offshore suppliers. For smaller companies, it may not be so easy.
Manufacturers' Chemical Dependence
Chemicals are often a misunderstood input into most of the products used in the U.S. market each day — from diapers and crayons to computers and pharmaceuticals. A total of 90 percent of manufacturers surveyed see the cost of materials sourced from the chemical industry increasing.
The impact of rising costs is severe given that most manufacturers depend on chemicals for some form of production and, as a raw material expense, chemical costs are a key driver of profitability. In fact, 55 percent overall have significant, direct dependence for production, and 73 percent of food, medicine and other process manufacturing operations rely on chemicals.
"The most immediate and obvious risk is to the resilience and competitiveness of U.S. manufacturing, and with it millions of jobs and domestic production," said Kevin O'Marah, senior vice president at AMR Research and co-author of the report. "But less obvious, and more troubling, is the consequence of an over reliance on offshore suppliers — our inability to respond effectively to a national crisis such as an earthquake, pandemic, or terrorist attack.
Call to Action
The report adds that there is little alternative for manufacturers as 50 percent say that materials sourced from the chemical industry are impossible to replace and a remaining 40 percent add that alternatives are available but at a far greater cost. As chemical inputs are both difficult to replace and invisible to consumers, margin pressures on U.S. based manufacturing are severe.
In a forward to the report, R. Keith Harrison, global product supply officer for The Procter & Gamble Company, writes: "Policymakers must recognize that policies impacting the vital chemical industry affect almost all of the manufacturing economy. The challenge is likely to be more serious than many in government realize, and as our research indicates, could lead to wide reaching losses to the U.S. manufacturing sector."
"Chemicals are a critical link in the supply chain for two-thirds of U.S. manufacturers, but America's chemical industry is threatened by rising domestic natural gas costs," said NAM President and CEO John Engler. "At stake is not only the future health of chemical manufacturing firms but also the thousands of companies that use their chemicals to make everything from crayons to computers. America needs a robust energy strategy to ensure affordable supplies, future development and greater efficiency."

This is a good ottoman with regard to sturdiness and workmanship -- that is, other than the color. Most likely will return and exchange for the white/linen ottoman. The grey-blue color is difficult to match with other furnishings. It either looks very blue, or very denim-grey -- a little dingy in appearance.
I love this ottoman. The color is very different in person. It worked out for me, but be aware that it is not off white like it appears online. It is a light beige color.
I love the look of these ottomans! The tufted top and splayed legs fit right into the mid-century modern feel that I am going for in my Living Room. The only disappointment is that they are hard as a rock.
I am very pleased with the tufted ottoman. Initially I wanted the blue colored ottoman, but decided against it after reading reviews that suggested it was more denim looking in appearance than light blue. I am pleased with the sand color which is an off white. My only regret now is that I chose a tufted ottoman without storage- it seems like a storage option would have been more practical for me, but que sera, que sera. The ottoman looks lovely, was easy to assemble and appears to be sturdy. my one and three year old like to climb on it and it can be a little tippy as it has three legs, but I am using it as a side table rather than as an ottoman and have continued to discourage them from doing so by placing a tray on the ottoman.
I bought two of these. One in the linen surf (light blue color) and one in the sand color (because I thought the linen surf would be lighter). Great quality and price.
love it! looks very pretty in my master bathroom, great size not to big or small. Would have liked it to be more cushy -comfortable to sit on.- not very soft.
ottoman looks really nice but it's not comfortable to sit on. It's exceptionally light. came in very good condition.
The ottoman is easy to put together and it's super sturdy. I actually bought a second one I loved it so much.
I ordered two ottomans to use as a coffee table for my living room. They were very easy to assemble, just a simple screwing in of the legs. My complaint is that they aren't very sturdy. If you have a household with children, these won't last. They are "delicate" in construction to put it nicely. One was delivered in perfect condition, and the other came with flaws (not completely round, lining of bottom was exposed, a couple of sharp ends of pins from interior poking through fabric). For the money I spent, I expected better quality. I've had these for almost 2 years, and they have held up pretty well with moderate use as a coffee table (resting remote controls and serving trays) and as an ottoman. But I would never purchase these again.

Boho Bracelets
The latest Faith Gear jewelry has arrived in the form of Christian Boho Bracelets. These cool Bohemian style bracelets are perfect for guys and girls of all ages.
Did you know that the word Boehmian is defined as a "socially unconventional person?" That definition sounds a little bit like 1 Peter 2:9 that says, "But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God's special possession, that you may declare the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light." If you are a follower of Christ, you have been chosen to declare His praises.

1942 GMC COE - The Wolfe's WWII GMC
Written by on January 22, 2007 Wild Things Go Better With CokeAlthough the roots of GMC trucks can be traced back to 1902, it wasn't until January 1912 that the first GMC emblem appeared on a General Motors truck. By '42, the model year of Larry and Wes Wolfe's GMC COE gracing our pages, GMC was destined to become the nation's largest producer of vehicles for the war effort.
With hundreds of thousands of GMC trucks sent overseas never to be seen again, the Wolfe's GMC was one of the lucky ones.
The truck spent the duration of World War II stationed in Kansas acquiring few miles. By the time Wes bought the GMC in Virginia for $400, there were only 20,000 miles on the odometer. These weren't easy miles, though, because of its second career as a farm truck short-hauling grain with a homemade dump box on its back. The body on a big truck ordinarily stays pretty cherry because it's out of the reach of low-flying idiots in smaller vehicles.
Unfortunately for the Wolfe's COE, its roof was used as a platform for farmhands to stand on while shoveling grain. Needless to say, the entire roof looked like Dumbo's trampoline.
The fellow Wes bought the GMC from wanted to whack the cab from the doors back and build a retro motorhome of sorts. But once he faced the reality of how much work he'd have to do to convert the GMC, he put it up for sale.
A question on Custom Classic Trucks' tech sheet asks truck owners if they built their truck in stages. Since they almost always list the frame as the first stage, we were surprised to discover Wes listed the GMC's cab as their first stage. Wes said they built the '42's cab first and then the chassis. If you're starting to think Wes and his dad might have an unfair advantage over most custom truck builders, you'd be right.
Over 35 years ago in their hometown of Covington, Virginia, Larry Wolfe opened the doors to Wolfe's Body Shop. These days, Larry and Wes make their bread and butter doing collision work.
For enjoyment, they like to build hot rods and customs to drive cross-country to rod runs and car shows. Currently the pair own a genuine '32 Ford each, as well as other desirable vehicles, including Wes' '68 Olds 442 coupe.
Since GMC never offered a crew cab COE, creating one required an enormous amount of manhours. Wes sacrificed three cabs and six doors to end up with a four-door COE body that looked like it might have rolled off General Motors' assembly line. He began the tedious job by fabricating a subframe to support the four-door body independent from the '42's chassis. It's interesting to note that instead of moving the firewall back, Wes positioned his firewall forward. This allowed him to relocate the engine aft to a midship arrangement and cleared the way for a conventional steering column. By conventional, he didn't have to drop the column straight down into the floor like stock.
With the floor cleared of the column, Wes continued the cleanup process with a dash-mounted shifter. A gray leather-wrapped steering wheel from Billet Specialties fronts a dash cluster packed full of white-faced gauges from Classic Instruments. Air-conditioning vents mounted into the dashboard and the rear seating area keep ice-cold air circulating throughout the crew cab's interior. Speaking of the interior, it was upholstered in gray ultraleather by King's Auto Upholstery in Roanoke, Virginia. Freddie King saw to it his crew did a kickass job on every area, from its plush carpeting to the custom headliner.
With the exception of the truck's interior, everything else was done within Covington's city limits. Wes hauled a stack of 5x10-foot sheetmetal over to Phillip Bowen and Chris Persinger at JenFab in Covington to form the '42's one-off custom bed and running boards.
Not since the 1700s, when the British pranced around in bright red coats, has such a brilliant hue been utilized in a military application. The GMC's custom-blended DuPont red paint was mixed in-house on Wolfe's Auto Body's DuPont mixing bench. The ultra-glossy urethane finish is a two-stage system that consumed three gallons of PPG 2021 clear as the topcoat. Wes told us he spent nearly seven months on labor and over $3,500 in materials to paint the '42. To ease painting the inside of the bed and doorjambs, Wes used DuPont's single-stage paint.
With the COE crew cab complete, Wes and Larry used the shop's two-post lift to drop the four-door cab onto an updated frame-an '86 Chevy C30 chassis powered by a '70 454-inch big-block, to be exact. The frontend was lowered using Belltech spindles and coils, while the 4.10:1-geared 1-ton rearend is attached to leaf springs assisted by Firestone airbags.
Cab Over Engine custom classic trucks are a breed apart from other vintage haulers. They are expensive and time-consuming to build. There're no two ways about it, a person either has to be relatively wealthy or very gifted to complete a COE.
For the Wolfe family, their '42 GMC was a father and son team effort that consumed five years of hard work and inspiration. Wes said he and his dad would have never been able to complete the truck without the support of his mother Sandra, wife Melinda and daughter Hanna.

A majority of the land lies within the Clinton Reservoir flood pool. Deer Creek, Rock Creek and the Wakarusa River are the three main drainages into Clinton Lake that flow through the wildlife area. There is a mix of native grassland, deciduous forest and cropland dispersed throughout these drainages.
Two man-made wetland complexes are found on the wildlife area. The oldest is the Coblentz Marsh Complex, which consists of the original West Coblentz marsh and the more recent East Coblentz marsh totaling around 160 acres in 5 different pools. These are located on the north side of the Wakarusa River and immediately east of the Shawnee-Douglas county line in Douglas County. The Elk Creek Marsh complex was completed in 2008 after several years of construction. These marshes are located on the south side of the Wakarusa River and are accessed from the parking lot located at Boat Ramp #9. The complex consists of 4 different marsh pools that total approximately 300 acres when full. The largest and newest pool is just over 100 acres in size and is located within the area's seasonal Refuge. All wetland cells except the refuge marsh can be filled by pumping water out of the Wakarusa River.
Management of native grassland is very important on the Clinton Wildlife Area. Clinton has over 200 acres of historical native prairie, most all of the non-native cool season grasslands have been converted to warm season native grasses and wildflowers.
Primary species hunted on the area include deer, turkey, waterfowl, mourning dove, bobwhite quail, squirrel, and rabbit. Also, a wide array of non-game birds, mammals, reptiles, and amphibians can be found on the area or migrating through. Trapping, fishing, and wildlife viewing are also popular past times on the area.
