The A-Team is an American action adventure television series about a fictional group of ex-United States Army Special Forces who work as soldiers of fortune while being on the run from the military for a "crime they didn't commit". The A-Team was created by writers and producers Frank Lupo and Stephen J. Cannell (who also collaborated together on Wiseguy and Hunter) at the behest of Brandon Tartikoff, NBC's Entertainment president.
Despite being thought of as mercenaries by the other characters in the show, the A-Team always acted on the side of the good guys and helped the oppressed. The show ran for five seasons on the NBC television network, from January 23, 1983 to December 30, 1986 (with one additional, previously unbroadcast episode shown on March 8, 1987), with a total of 98 episodes.
It remains known in popular culture for its cartoon-like use of over-the-top violence (in which people were seldom seriously hurt), supposedly formulaic episodes, featuring the ability to form weaponry and vehicles out of old parts, and its distinctive theme tune. The show also served as the springboard for the career of Mr. T, who portrayed the character of B. A. Baracus, around whom the show was initially conceived. Some of the show's catchphrases such as "I love it when a plan comes together", and "I ain't gettin' on no plane!" have also made their way onto T-shirts and other merchandise.
Although not directly referenced in the series, the name of the show comes from "A-teams", the nickname for Operational Detachments Alpha (ODA). The US Army Special Forces uses the term ODA for their 12-man direct operations teams.
Initially, The A-Team was not expected to become a hit, although Stephen J. Cannell purports that "[George Peppard] said it would be a huge hit before we ever turned on a camera. In fact, the show became a huge hit and the first regular episode, which aired after the 1983 Super Bowl (XVII) on January 30, 1983, reached 26.4% of the television watching audience, placing fourth in the top 10 rated shows, according to the Nielsen Ratings.
The A-Team revolves around the four members of a former commando outfit and current group of mercenaries. Their leader is Col. John "Hannibal" Smith (George Peppard), whose plans tend to be unorthodox but effective. Lt. Templeton "Faceman" Peck (Dirk Benedict; played by Tim Dunigan in the pilot) is a smooth-talking con-man who serves as the team's appropriator of vehicles and other useful items. The team's pilot is Capt. H.M. "Howling Mad" Murdock, (Dwight Schultz), who has been declared insane and resides in a mental institution for the show's first four seasons. Finally, there is the team's strong man and mechanic, Sgt. Bosco B.A. ("Bad Attitude") Baracus (Mr. T).
For its first season and the first half of the second season, the team was assisted by reporter Amy Amanda "Triple A" Allen (Melinda Culea). She was ultimately replaced by fellow reporter Tawnia Baker (Marla Heasley) for the rest of the second season. The character of Tia (Tia Carrere), a Vietnam war orphan now living in the United States, was meant to join the Team in the fifth season, but she was replaced by Frankie Santana (Eddie Velez), who served as the team's special effects expert. Eddie Velez was added to the opening credits of the fifth season after that season's second episode.
During their adventures, the A-Team was constantly met by opposition from the military police. In the show's first season they were led by Colonel Lynch (William Lucking), but he was replaced for the second, third and earlier fourth season by Colonel Roderick Decker (Lance LeGault) and his aide Captain Crane (Carl Franklin). Lynch returned for one episode in the show's third season ("Showdown!") but was not seen afterwards again. Decker was also shortly replaced by a Colonel Briggs (Charles Napier) in the third season for one episode ("Fire!") due to Lance LeGault being unavailable for the episode, but returned shortly after. For the latter of the show's fourth season, the team was hunted by General Harlan "Bull" Fullbright (Jack Ging), who would later hire the A-Team to find Tia in the season four finale, during which Fullbright was killed.
The fifth season introduced General Hunt Stockwell (Robert Vaughn) who, while serving as the team's primary antagonist, was also the team's boss and joined them on several missions. He was often assisted by Carla (Judith Ledford, sometimes credited as Judy Ledford).
Tia Carrere was intended to join the principal cast of the show in its fifth season after appearing in the season four finale, providing a continuing tie to the team's inception during the war. However, Carrere was under a prior contract to General Hospital at the time, and was unable to join the cast of The A-Team. Her character was abruptly dropped as a result.
According to Mr. T's own account in Bring Back... The A-Team in 2006, the role was written for him from the beginning. This is corroborated by Stephen J. Cannell's own account of the initial concept proposed by NBC Entertainment President Brandon Tartikoff.
James Coburn, who co-starred in The Magnificent Seven, was considered for the role of Hannibal in The A-Team, while George Peppard (Hannibal) was the original consideration for the role of Vin (played by Steve McQueen instead) in The Magnificent Seven.
As such, only a few significant developments are made during this time, which include the blood transfer between Murdock and B.A. in the first season episode "Bad Day at Black Rock", the replacement of recurring character Amy Allen with Tawnia Baker and the replacements of the recurring antagonists of the Military Police. The final episode of the fourth season does present two unique occurrences; the antagonist (Gen. Fullbright in this case) works with the Team and also features the second on-screen death (also Gen. Fullbright). This episode, together with the first three of the fifth season deal extensively with the team's Vietnam history.
The new status quo of the A-Team no longer working for themselves remained for the duration of the fifth season, and both Frankie Santana and Hunt Stockwell were added to the credits. The missions the team had to perform in season five were somewhat reminiscent of Mission: Impossible, and based more around political espionage than besting local thugs, also usually take place in foreign countries. However, these changes proved unsuccessful with viewers and ratings continued to decline. Only 13 episodes aired in the fifth season.
In what was supposed to be the final episode, "The Grey Team" (although a skipped episode was first broadcast during reruns), Hannibal, after being misled by Stockwell one time too many, tells him that the team will not work for him any more. At the end, the team discusses what they were going to do if they got their pardon, and it is implied that they would continue doing what they were doing as the A-Team.
Ten years ago / In 1972, a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit. These men promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by the government, they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire... The A-Team.
By the time the series began airing in January 1983, it was already out of date, as The A-Team escaped from prison in 1972 (the series began production in Fall 1982, and the first three stories carry a 1982 copyright). For the second to fourth season the dialogue was updated to "In 1972...", confirming the correct date. Due to the first season opening dialogue, some early coverage for the series mistakenly cite the team as escaping from prison in 1973.
The intro was narrated by John Ashley, who was also one of the show's producers. The intro was dropped for the final season, in which the A-Team's circumstances changed to instead be working for General Stockwell. The theme tune was changed to match. In the first four seasons, George Peppard and Mr. T are credited in the opening sequence with their respective characters ("Starring George Peppard as John 'Hannibal' Smith" and "And Mr. T as B.A. Baracus"). For the show's fifth season, however, this was changed to apply to all cast members (including new arrivals Eddie Velez and Robert Vaughn) except Dirk Benedict. The reasoning behind this change, and the exclusion of Benedict, is unknown.
The opening credits for the second season episode "The White Ballot" have the second season opening credits visually, but due to an error have the first season audio (identified by the "Ten years ago..." opening dialogue, and the sound of the bi-plane from the Pilot over the shot of the helicopter chase from "Till Death Do Us Part").
In the later second, third and fourth season opening credits, in a clip taken from the second season episode "Steel", Face (Dirk Benedict) reacts to an actor dressed in a metallic Cylon centurion costume. Benedict had starred years earlier in the science fiction television series, Battlestar Galactica. His character, Starbuck, fought against Cylons.
In the fifth season opening credits, there is a brief shot of what may appear to be Airwolf, but was actually an unmodified black Bell 222 with a red nose, most likely the helicopter featured in the Airwolf Episode Airwolf 2. The footage is taken from the feature-length fourth season opener "Judgement Day". It is followed by a shot of Murdock piloting what is actually a different helicopter, from a fantasy sequence taken from the fifth season episode "Trial By Fire".
Unlike modern shows, The A-Team episodes do not begin with a cold open and start with the main introduction and title of the episode. Generally, the first few scenes will focus on the plight of the episode's victim, who is hoping to hire the A-Team, thereby introducing the story for that episode. These prospective clients are usually led through a series of off-beat and comedic tests, after which a member of the team, mostly Hannibal, will reveal himself and tell the clients they've "just hired the A-Team."
Frequently, one of the clients will be a young woman who Face is immediately attracted to and who will serve as the object of his advances. Occasionally, the A-Team are on the road and simply stumble across someone who needs their help. The A-Team often return their fee to the most needy clients or find another way to pay their expenses.
By this time, Murdock will escape from the psychiatric hospital, where he is interned, with the help of Face. After scamming items necessary for the mission - often directly angering the episode's antagonist - the A-Team will confront that antagonist, insulting him/her, which will lead to a counter-attack later on.
Generally, the A-Team then assist their clients in their daily routine, while furthering Face's romance with the female guest star and initiating a conflict between B.A. and Murdock. These scenes will usually also feature clients and the team alike questioning Hannibal's sanity, leading to the proclamation that Hannibal is "on the jazz", a term to denote the adrenaline rush that accompanies their adventures.
Traditionally, the antagonist's counter-attack then follows, which succeeds and leads to the team's capture. In order to escape, the A-Team will usually construct a weapon - often in the form of a vehicle - of sorts from their available resources. This is detailed in a musical montage focussing on the team's hands and the tools used. The escape will be successful and the antagonist will be defeated with use of the new weapon. The team's opponents are rarely hurt, as bullets miss their targets and the enemies manage to evade or survive, unscathed, numerous explosions.
The show became emblematic of this kind of "fit-for-TV warfare" due to its depiction of high-octane combat scenes, with lethal weapons, wherein the participants (with the notable exception of General Fullbright) are never killed and rarely seriously injured (see also on-screen violence) and (Principle of Evil Marksmanship).
After the defeat of the antagonist, the episode's other storylines will be wrapped up as the team make their escape. Every few episodes, the Military Police catches up with the team, giving them an extra obstacle to overcome in that particular episode, sometimes also appearing in the final few minutes of the episode, forcing the team to make a quick exit. A recurring element that can usually be fit anywhere into the episode is B.A.'s fear of flying, which leads to the team having to knock him out (either by drugs or, less often, hypnosis) to get him onto a helicopter or plane.
The origin of the A-Team is directly linked to the Vietnam War, during which the team formed. The show's introduction in the first four seasons mentions this, accompanied by images of soldiers coming out of a helicopter in an area resembling a forest/jungle. Besides this, The A-Team would occasionally feature an episode in which the team came across an old ally or enemy from those war days. For example, the first season's ending episode "A Nice Place to Visit" revolved around the team travelling to a small town to honor and avenge a fallen comrade.
An article in the New Statesman (UK) published shortly after the premiere of The A-Team in the United Kingdom, also pointed out the The A-Team's connection to the Vietnam War, characterizing it as the representation of the idealization of the Vietnam War, and an example of the War slowly becoming accepted and assimilated into American culture.
One of the team's primary antagonists, Col. Decker, had his past linked back to the Vietnam War, in which he and Hannibal had come to fisticuffs in "the DOOM Club" (Da Nang Open Officers' Mess). At other times, members of the team would refer back to a certain tactic used during the War, which would be relevant to the present predicament the team was in. Often, Hannibal would refer to such a tactic, after which the other members of the team would complain about its failure during the War. This was also used to refer to some of Face's past accomplishments in scamming items for the team, such as in the first season episode "Holiday in the Hills", in which Murdock fondly remembers Face being able to secure a '53 Cadillac while in the Vietnam jungle.
The team's ties to the Vietnam War were referenced again in the fourth season finale, "The Sound of Thunder", in which the team's introduced to Tia (Tia Carrere), a war orphan and daughter of fourth season antagonist Gen. Fullbright. Returning to Vietnam, Fullbright is killed (and his murderer, a Vietnam colonel, is killed in retaliation) during the mission and Tia returns with the team to the United States (see also: casting). This episode is notable for having one of the shows relatively few truly serious dramatic moments, with each team member privately reminiscing on their war experiences, intercut with news footage from the war with Barry McGuire's Eve of Destruction playing in the background.
The show's ties to the Vietnam War are fully dealt with in the opening arc of the fifth season, dubbed "The Revolution"/"The Court-Martial" in which the team is finally put on trial for the robbing of the bank of Hanoi. The character of Decker makes a return on the witness stand and various newly introduced characters from the A-Team's past also make appearances. The team, after a string of setbacks, decides to plead guilty to the crime and they are sentenced to be executed. They escape this fate and come to work for a Gen. Hunt Stockwell, leading into the remainder of the fifth season.
The show became so popular that in 1984 the main cast members of The A-Team, George Peppard, Mr. T, Dirk Benedict and Dwight Schultz were invited to the Netherlands. George Peppard was the first to receive the invitation and thus thought the invite pertained only to him. When the other cast members were also invited, Peppard declined, leading only Mr. T, Benedict and Schultz to visit the Netherlands. Unpredicted, however, was the immense turn-out for the stars, and they were forced to leave early as a security measure. A video was released with the present actors in which Dwight Schultz apologized and thanked everyone that had attended.
In 2003, in research conducted by web-portal Yahoo! amongst 1,000 television viewers, The A-Team was voted as the one "oldie" television programme viewers would most like to see revived, beating out other popular televisions series from the 80s such as The Dukes of Hazzard and Knight Rider.
As of February 2008, NBC has begun posting the first season of The A-Team online for free with the option to download (pay for download). Netflix also has most episodes from seasons 1-5 available for instant viewing. The first two seasons are also available for free viewing on Hulu.com
Collins eventually managed to bring together Benedict, Schultz, Heasley, Ging and Cannell, along with William Lucking, Lance LeGault, and George Peppard's son, Christian. Mr. T was unable to make the meeting, which took place in the Friar's Club in Beverly Hills, but he did manage to appear on the show for a brief talk with Collins.
During every interview, Collins would inquire about the rumored tension between Peppard and Mr. T. Even though Peppard was an established star of Hollywood movies and Mr. T was relatively new to on-screen acting, in a short time Mr. T was generally regarded as the main star of the show. It was suggested that tension did indeed exist between the two and was most probably due to Peppard's bitterness of Mr. T's status in the show. During the interview with Mr. T, the trademark gold chains worn by his character were discussed. Mr. T stated that they were symbolic of the steel chains that his African slave-ancestors had worn when they were brought to the United States, which he had turned into gold to symbolize that he is still a 'slave', only his price tag is higher. As a lighthearted joke for the show, a medium attempted to contact the deceased George Peppard via seance.
The program never touched upon the fifth season of the series in any way, with no mention of Eddie Velez' and Robert Vaughn's characters, and neither actor appearing at the reunion itself. Additionally, the episode in which Jack Ging's character General Fullbright is shot and killed is specifically described as the series' final episode (it was in fact, the final episode of season four). However, this is most likely due to a genuine misunderstanding, as several other facts (such as those surrounding Melinda Culea and her time on the show) were also slightly off.
The film has been in development since the mid 1990s, going through a number of writers and story ideas, and being put on hold a number of times. Producer Stephen J. Cannell hopes to update the setting, perhaps using the first Gulf War as part of the backstory. The cast has not been revealed, though Singleton hoped Woody Harrelson will take on the role of Murdock, while Ice Cube has expressed interest in the role of B.A. Baracus. It also has been rumored that Bruce Willis is being considered for the role of John "Hannibal" Smith.
The premiere of The A-Team's second season reached 20.9% on the Nielsen Rating scale. It continued to soar that season, reaching third place in the twenty highest rated programs, behind Dallas and Simon & Simon, in January (mid-season). The season finale, titled "Curtain Call", put The A-Team in fourth place with a rating of 19.5%, whereas the episode preceding it, "Semi-Friendly Persuasion", rated 21.6%. In June, the series took the top spot with a rating of 19.3%.
The third season premiere of the series rated fifth in the top 10 with a rating of 19.0% (16.1 million homes), beaten out by four other NBC shows, including The Cosby Show, which placed first and featured the return of Bill Cosby to television after eight years. The A-Team remained in the top 10 for the remainder of the season, and for the first time since 1969, NBC won both sweeps weeks in the May of 1985.
However, the fourth season saw The A-Team experience a dramatic fall, as it started to lose its position while television viewership increased. As such, the ratings, while stable, were relatively less. The season premiere ranked a 17.4% (a 26% audience share on that timeslot) on the Nielsen Rating scale, but after ratings quickly declined. In October, The A-Team had fallen to the 19th spot to 15.3%, whereas it had held the 6th spot for most of its third season. In contrast, The Cosby Show had more than double the amount of viewers. In the second week of January 1986, The Cosby Show reached a 38.5% rating in its timeslot. In that same month, The A-Team fell to the 29th spot, on Super Bowl Night, the night on which the show had originally scored its first hit three years before. For the remainder of its fourth season The A-Team managed to hang around the 20th spot, far from original top 10 position it had enjoyed during its first three seasons.
After four years on Tuesday, NBC decided to move the The A-Team to a new timeslot on Friday for what would be its final season. Ratings continued to drop, and after seven episodes, The A-Team fell out of the top 50 altogether with a 13.3 Nielsen Rating. In November 1986, NBC cancelled the series, declining to order the last nine episodes of what would've been a 22-episode season.
When the A-Team aired in 1983, there were numerous watchdog organizations who sought to get the A-Team off the air. According to certain estimates, an episode of the A-Team held up to 46 violent acts. Stephen J. Cannell, co-creator of the show responds: "They were determined to make a point, and we were too big a target to resist. Cartoon violence is a scapegoat issue." Originally the A-Team's status as a hit show remained strong, but ultimately lost out to more family-oriented shows such as The Cosby Show, Who's the Boss? and Growing Pains.
According to an article in The New York Times, titled "TV View: It's Fun And It's Not Violent" there was a clear reason for this:
Ultimately, she was written out of the show at the start of the third season when the network determined that a female cast member was not necessary. While the character of Amy Allen suddenly disappeared between two episodes, Tawnia left the team on-screen, choosing to marry and move out of Los Angeles. The character of Amy Allen was only briefly referred to once in the episode "In Plain Sight", and a couple of times in "The Battle of Bel Air", the same episode that introduced Tawnia Baker, in which she was cited to have taken a correspondence job overseas (in Jakarta, Indonesia).
As Marla Heasley recounts in Bring Back... The A-Team (May 18, 2006), although sexism was not prevalent on the set per se, there was a sense that a girl was not necessary on the show, and she was even approached by George Peppard about it:
He was really serious. He said: "When you're finished with your make-up, I would like to talk to you. Please come to my trailer." I said: "Okay." So I went to his trailer and he said "have a seat", I said "okay", and then he said: "I just want you to know that we don't want you on the show," he said "We don't want you on the show. None of the guys want you here. The only reason you're here is because the network and the producers want you. For some reason they think they need a girl."
The interview continues with Marla Heasley noting that on her last day of work Peppard took her aside again, saying:
I'm sorry that this is your last day, but remember what I said the very first day, that we didn't want a girl, has nothing to do with you. You were very professional, but no reason to have a girl.
In an interview with the Sunday Mail (AUS), George Peppard, portraying Hannibal Smith on the show, admitted that he thought that "whenever the studio slips an actress on to the team, she becomes a distraction. She always slows down the action. She's someone who's only there for the glamor shots. Everything stops for the sexy smiles - and I can't see why that's necessary on The A-Team.
It was a guy's show. It was male driven. It was written by guys. It was directed by guys. It was acted by guys. It's about what guys do. We talked the way guys talked. We were the boss. We were the God. We smoked when we wanted. We shot guns when we wanted. We kissed the girls and made them cry... when we wanted. It was the last truly masculine show.
In two similar interviews in 2007, on the Dutch talk shows Jensen! and RTL Boulevard (both broadcast on May 11, 2007), Benedict remarked again that the A-Team was a guy show, and if it were remade today, it'd be a lot more feminine, and a more adequate naming would be "The Gay-Team".
In the opening credits of The A-Team beginning with the second season, Dirk Benedict is shown looking (with a sense of deja-vu) at a person dressed as a Cylon from the original 1978 series of Battlestar Galactica, in which Benedict played the role of Lieutenant Starbuck.
In "Pros and Cons", Face pretends to be Dr. Dwight Pepper, the author of a book on prison reform. The photo on the back of the book (supposedly the actual Dr. Dwight Pepper) is a photo of Stephen J. Cannell, the producer of the series. The name is a gag on the soft drink of the same name, although some have noted that Dwight is Dwight Schultz's first name, and Pepper is similar to Peppard.
A 'lost episode', "Without Reservations", aired for the first time during re-runs in March 1987. This episode was meant to air before the final episode "The Grey Team", which is reflected by the fact that in "Without Reservations" Murdock's T-shirt says "Almost Fini" while in "The Grey Team" it says "Fini". Apparently, the axe fell on the series more suddenly than expected, leaving the episode too short to be broadcast. To make it long enough to air, the entire pre-opening credits sequence was made up of footage from the first season episode "Holiday In The Hills", re-edited with a new fifth season-style backing score, and a shot of Frankie added from the fifth season episode "The Crystal Skull". "The Grey Team" is also more likely to be the 'proper' final episode, as Hannibal tells General Stockwell that the team will not work for him (Stockwell) any longer after being mislead one time too many, and at the end of the story, the team ponders their future.
The final episode of the fourth season at one point may have been the last, as Murdock's "All Good Things Must Come To An End" T-shirt hints. But the show returned, re-vamped, for one more season.
The black and metallic grey GMC Vandura van used by the A-Team, with its characteristic red stripe, black and red wheels, and rooftop spoiler, has become an enduring pop culture icon. One of the original six vans used for the show is displayed in the Cars of the Stars Motor Museum in Keswick, northern England.
Early examples of the van had a red GMC logo on the front grill, and an additional GMC logo on the rear left door. However, early in the second season, these logos were blacked out (although GMC continued to supply vans and receive a credit on the closing credits of each episode).
It is a common error that the van is said to be all-black, whereas in fact the section above the red stripe is metallic grey (this error even followed through on to most toy models of the van). The angle of the rear spoiler can also be seen to vary on different examples of the van within the series. Additionally, some versions of the van have a sunroof, whereas others, typically those used for stunts (and including the one displayed in the aforementioned Cars of the Stars Motor Museum) do not. This on occasion led to continuity errors in some episodes, such as in the third season's 'The Bells of St. Mary's', in a scene where (the double of) Face jumps from a building onto the roof of the van. There is clearly no sunroof. However, a few moments later, in an interior (studio) shot, Face climbs in through the sunroof!
A number of devices were seen in the back of the van in different episodes, including a mini printing press ('Pros and Cons'), an audio surveillance recording device ('A Small and Deadly War'), and Hannibal's disguise kits in various episodes.

Note: The Region 1 releases of season 1 (during the Pilot episode) and season 3 (two instances during the episode "Beverly Hills Assault") replace music tracks with generic music, due to copyright problems. (This only applies to the region one release).
Note: On the Second Season set, there is a very brief break in the feature-length episode "When You Comin' Back, Range Rider?". In the original version, after the fight in the town, Hannibal bends down to Stryker and says "You tell Bus Carter that he's out of the rustling business"; On the DVD it skips to "...rustling business". This minor break is thought to be due to damage to the master prints (although it still appears on copies of the episode shown around the world).
Note: On the Region 1 release of season 4, a number of the opening trailers, previewing the upcoming episode, are missing (Again, confirmation needed if this is the same on the Region 2 versions).

This dress was awful in person. The back seam puckered up right at you backside and looked like it was stuck up your bottom. Maybe mine was defective... I don't know but I wouldn't recommend at all. :-(

My email setup: I'm using google apps. I have records for SPF (the generic google one), DKIM (unique), and DMARC. My DMARC policy is using default values (but p=quarantine), which uses relaxed alignment mode for both SPF and DKIM as well as letting mail through if either passes (to avoid f/p of forwarding servers).
Basically, this new spam claims to come from my own domain, which it obviously isn't. Now usually this wouldn't be a problem since it should fail both SPF and DKIM. But it looks like this breed is passing (or at least not failing) SPF for some reason. I'm referring specifically to "Received-SPF" and "Authentication-Results", which makes it look like they're using a Gmail account to originate the spam, but the Gmail account itself obviously can't spoof email addresses on my domain. Later down it appears that they are, in fact, using a third party sender, but how does it pass SPF?
I'm quite confused about this header, could anyone with more experience in this area shed some light as to what's actually happening? Is there any change I can make to the DMARC policy to filter this out?

Over the years, we all receive many less-than-memorable gifts. They end up in a closet or buried in the basement and soon we forget all about them. But every once in a while, there's that one gift that stands out among the rest-something truly special. Bob Bertelsen's '67 Camaro has come a long way since rolling off the assembly line in 1966. It was then that this convertible became part of his family, and eventually Bob's pride and joy.
In 1966, Bob's father bought his wife a very special Christmas present-this then-new '67 Camaro convertible would be her first new car. When it came time for Bob and his sister to get behind the wheel, the convertible was theirs to learn on until it was parked in 1978. Bob's father had every intention of restoring the Camaro once he retired, but after being untouched for 13 years, the F-body would be a Christmas gift once again. With the torch now passed from father to son, Bob decided it was time to breathe some new life into this family heirloom.
The first round of resto found Bob's ragtop sporting all new GM sheetmetal. Dressed in stock trim, the Camaro netted some trophies at a few local shows before being parked once again in 1996. Fast-forward 10 years: A road trip sparked a renewed interest for Bob, and his '67 was once again brought to the forefront. "I originally thought I would just freshen up the car with new paint, a couple of suspension upgrades, and an overdrive transmission," Bob says. "Then I thought I needed to exceed my last Camaro, which won national awards. I couldn't go backwards."
The revamping started with the exterior and the ponycar was quickly mounted on a rotisserie. With the help of his friend Tom McKenzie, Bob media blasted the bottom side of the car and began fabricating and test fitting the new wheel tubs, subframe and frame connectors, along with the new custom tailpanel. The front and rear bumpers were cut and narrowed to provide a better fit before the boltholes were filled for a smooth appearance, and once the fabrication was complete, the bumpers were sent out for chrome plating. The factory door handles gave way to new units normally found on the Buick Lacrosse, and the emblem and molding holes were filled completing the metal work.
With the sheetmetal having been replaced in 1992, bodywork was kept to a minimum and Bob laid down the Sherwin Williams primer in preparation for the new silver hue that was soon to come. With the help of Rick DeSalvo, the body was blocked, leaving every panel straight and ready for color. With basecoat and clearcoat now covering the car, Bob and Rick finish-sanded and buffed the body, bringing out a mirror-like finish.
Now that the body was in line, Bob shifted his attention to the suspension. The front and rear subframes from Chris Alston's Chassis Works were prepped and treated to charcoal powdercoat, custom made at A Plus Powder Coaters to match the stripe on the hood. With the powdercoat complete, and the subframes back in the car, Bob started assembling the rest of the Chris Alston's suspension and air ride system from Air Ride Technologies. The Air Ride Shockwave system cushions the front and rear suspension and gives this Camaro the sleek, low look Bob was after.
Wilwood six-piston brakes reside up front, while its four-piston counterparts sit in the rear. The beefy binders lay-in-wait just in case Bob needs to bring the good times to a timely halt. As soon as Bob decided Trial wheels from I Forge wrapped in BFGoodrich rubber would be this Camaro's new shoes, Tom went to work narrowing and mounting the Fab-9 rearend housing from Chris Alston's Chassis Works completing the rear suspension.

Quint Kessenich's Top 25 men's college lacrosse players
A lacrosse game consists of countless plays, but the outcome can hinge on just a small fraction of them.

The 2011 National Player of the Year has 252 points in 54 career games. He sat out most of 2012 with a broken foot. Cornell has a favorable schedule, and Pannell is surrounded by talent — that bodes well for big stats. He is the country's best dodging attackman from behind the goal who understands the geography of getting to the paint.

My Mom & I worked on this quilt while I was visiting home. Its made from a Hello Betty layer cake. I love that line (its discontinued), especially the grey. I made this quilt from it…but I still wish I had more of that pretty grey floral. The pattern is Camille's Wild Thing Pattern.
(Now that I look at this picture Seattle looks like a little blurry hill)
Thanks for all the preschool starting well wishes. I tried to act like I was really sad he was leaving me for three hours but really I was doing cartwheels in my head. I'm sure I'll feel differently when he's gone all day… but for now, I'm glad he enjoys school and I get a break from his 3 year old-ness. Cause his 3 year old-ness is driving me BONKERS!

Rumbux Crash Bars for Yamaha Super Tenere (XT1200Z)
I finally got things lined up and am getting ready to place another order for Rumbux Products. My company name is Eval Innovations, Inc.
The Rumbux web site is HERE for gallery pics. I don't have a web site yet.
I will take orders, accept payment via Visa/MC/Discover/Amex and then place the build order. This means it is a 6 week process from when I place the order with Rumbux in South Africa to when the bars arrive on your doorstep via UPS. Shipping is included in the prices, so that's all you pay. No surprises. Prices are for the lower 48 states, if you're in Alasaka or Canada, PM me with your zip/postal code and I'll figure out shipping costs and let you know if there will be an additional cost. Most Canada can be done free shipping, but you are responsible for VAT and any other import fees. You can place pre-orders at any time, which help to build to the necessary quantity to place the order with Rumbux. Your CC will be charged only when I place the order with Rumbux.
Utah Residents - I have to add the 6.5% State Sales tax. :(
Prices, (All Shipping included!):
Full Rumbux Crashbar set with integrated skid plate - $800.00 (prices updated to reflect 2015 pricing.)
(Light brackets shown are not included)
These crash bars allow full removal of both side panels w/o removing the upper bars. The skid plate comes off with 6 bolts and they are easy to access. It is necessary to remove the skid plate for oil changes.
Crash Bar Bags - $80.00/Pair (free shipping)
These are sized to fit the Rumbux upper bars and fit both the 3-Part Kit and the OEM Add On Upper Bar. Other soft products available on request. Prices vary by material type. (Cordura nylon or PVC.)
Lower only w/integrated Skid Plate - $500.00
This option still allows you to add the upper bars at a later date. You get the benefits of lower protection similar to other crash bars, but also the integrated skid plate that is bolted only to the crash bar frame, NOT THE ENGINE OR OIL SUMP. This can be used with some other brands of upper crash bars, (Givi is known to work), by stacking the mounting positions, as the same bolt point is used at at least one spot on each side. Some other brands will require various modification, and some extremely major modification, (AltRider & Happy Trails), that are NOT recommended unless you have major fabrication skills and access to welders and metal fab equipment.
Upper add on Crash Bars for Yamaha crash bars - $375.00
(Pics used with permission from Deon @ Rumbux ZA)
This replaces the Yamaha upper hoop with the heavier Rumbux upper hoop and adds upper side protection. The upper hoop ties in at the top with a flat bar brace and bolts to the Yamaha bars at the normal spots, PLUS an additional bolt point on each side at the factory fall over bracket.
Rumbux 1"(25mm), Light brackets - $50 (plus shipping if ordered alone)
(Pic 16 in the Gallery link above shows a great shot of the three pieces)
These are a three piece unit that is designed for the Yamaha accessory lights, but the yoke can be left off and most any other light can be mounted with it, either a single bolt design or spanning two brackets. These come as a pair, normally to mount two lights.
New for '15, simple light brackets - $25/pr (plus shipping if ordered alone)
Rear Protection/Soft Pannier Bars - $275 w/free shipping.
These are excellent for those that don't run hard cases and like to run fast and light, but also need some protection in the rear area.
If you want in on the next order, call me at 435-817-0809 and have some plastic ready. :) I aim to continue to place a new order each month as demand is met. II would love to stock bars and other products, but right now I remain on a limited budget, so what you will get is updates and as fast a turn around time as I can give on re-packaging and shipping the bars out once they arrive in the States.
Got questions? Feel free to PM me, call me or post here and I'll do my best to answer them. Phone calls from 8 am to 9pm MDT Please. If I don't answer, please leave a voice message and I'll get back to you ASAP.

Torque spec info:
The 8mm oem drop guard bolts are 8.7 ft/lbs.
The 10mm rear side stand bolt is 46 ft/lbs. (rear throttle side mount)
The 8mm rear exhaust bracket bolt is 14 ft/lbs, (rear clutch side mount).
The center long bolt that holds the dash on, where the flat bar goes
is 11 ft/lbs
The two bolts between the upper and lower Rumbux are nylocks, so just
get them tight, no need to go overboard there. Same for the small 6mm
bolts and nuts on the front end of the flat bar.
I'd recommend using blue (242) loctite or equivalent on the bolts.
(not on the nylock ones!!)
Tip: When you're putting the lower bar on, leave the rear bolt out on
the oem tip over guards, as you'll just be pulling that out again to
mount the upper bars.
Other than the one bolt at 46 ft/lbs, they torque values are mostly to
prevent you from over tightening things. That should tell you that
they are not critical. If your torque wrench doesn't go down that
far, don't sweat it, just snug them up, then give a small extra pull,
like 1/8 of a turn or less and you'll be fine.
This is the new warning page that will go out with every 2-part and 3-part Rumbux kit I sell. It's intended to make riders aware of the dangers, not scare them off the product. But I'm sure I'll lose a few customers because of it. At some point, every bike will drag hard parts, but I want people to understand the potential risks. Most Super Ten riders probably will never scrape pegs, but there certainly is a contingent that does.
Adding aftermarket accessories to your motorcycle can alter the ground clearance. You may need to adjust your riding style to avoid contact with the ground during aggressive cornering or on uneven ground.
When properly installed, this Rumbux Crash Bar will cause your Super Tenere to be wider and lower than prior to it's installation. Because of this, it is possible to contact the ground just after the left side footpeg feeler will scrape during high lean angle turns and before the center stand contacts on the right side. This can result in levering the rear wheel off the ground, and directly or indirectly cause a crash resulting in motorcycle damage, injury or death!
By installing this product you are accepting responsibility for your own actions!
EVal Innovations can not control how you ride. Please use caution until you understand if and how the installation of your new Rumbux crash bar system impacts your riding style.
EVal Innovations Inc. is not liable for injuries or damages resulting from crashes where the crash bars may have contacted the ground during riding. By installing Rumbux Adventure Products on your motorcycle, you implicitly accept these terms, and responsibility for your actions of choosing to install this product and choosing to ride in a manner which could cause motorcycle damage, injury or death.
Motorcycling is an inherently dangerous activity. Please ride aware, ride safe and ride often.
Thank you for your purchase!
The actual page has the "warning!" in red, but yellow shows up better here.

A few questions on the crashbar if you dont mind:

Yes, this is the same as being sold on the Super Tenere Forum, both posts by me. I am Eric V over there.
Total weight of the bars is ~24 lbs with all hardware.
Upper bar is 10 lbs.
Lower bar with skid plate and hardware is 13.5 Lbs.
Attachment points for the lower bash plate are to the lower crash bar only, which is mounted to the frame only. You can opt to mount with, or w/o the factory "skid plate". The lower bars attach at the front bolt of the factory tip over bar on each side, then the large bolt just forward of the center stand on each side. The tip over guard is retained. In part because the clutch side one is a lower radiator mount.
The attachment to the upper hoop, at center, is a flat bar that bolts to the bottom of the long bolt that goes thru the rear of the center gauge pod mounting unit. At the hoop, it bolts in with two smaller bolts.
You do not have to take the lower guard, (bars), off to change the oil, but you do have to take the skid plate off to change the oil. This is 6 bolts, easily accessible.
Originally there were holes to access the drain plugs, but the SA riders found that small sticks and debris would enter via those holes and build up or potentially do damage, so the holes were eliminated. It only takes a few minutes to remove the skid plate and I found it not to add any significant time to a oil/filter change. It's simply another step, which allows me to give things a good look over while doing that service.
Yes, the tubing is 25x2mm mild steel tubing, bash plate is 3mm aluminum, all finished in ferro grain black powder coating.
The pannier brackets shown on the Rumbux web site are for the R1200GS and XT660 Tenere, not the XT1200 Super Tenere. These are not for hard panniers, but intended for those running soft panniers to keep the panniers off the exhaust and from flopping into the rear wheel. Because the Super Tenere's stock hand grab bars can be reversed and installed in the down position to perform this function, no need was seen to fabricate these for the Super Ten.
The brake line kit is only for the lower lines from under the triple tree to the calipers to facilitate fender raise/removal, or simply removal of the cross over line to avoid the unpleasant potential if the fender is broken, as was seen on a F800GS on their forum, where a rock broke the fender, then the brake line cross over caught the tire and resulted in a very unpleasant crash at speed. This should not be confused with an upper brake line kit to allow for higher risers. Different animal altogether. I do not have any intentions to offer the upper kit, since others already offer it now. (Ride On ADV).
I have worked on bringing in the Rumbux product because it fills a niche that is not represented in the US market. I personally wanted a crash bar/skid plate that did NOT mount to the engine or oil sump. The cast oil sump has been shown to not be a good place to mount things to. In the event of a hard hit, it can fracture, resulting in Bad Things. I brought the first 5 sets in on a group buy, for myself and a few forward thinkers that were willing to take a chance. The quality of the bars is first rate. The welds are excellent, the fitment is perfect and I am so pleased with the product that I want to make it available to my S10 brethren. I hope to do so at a price that is reasonable, but still allows me a small profit margin. Business, eh? If things go well, I will get to the point were I can stock bars, and avoid the delay of having to order them, wait for them to be fabricated, shipped, go thru customs and then be re-packaged and shipped to customers. Right now, that is too high risk for my taste. Down the road, we will see. It's been a big learning curve so far to become an importer of motorcycle parts from South Africa. Not exactly next door! Lots of variables in exchange rates, etc. and I'm too small to get a good shipping rate, but I believe it can still represent a good value for American buyers.
Thanks for asking questions. From good questions, we all learn.

I am not a huge fan of the upper hoop, personally.
How much protection (in a tip over) will the lower skid plate portion provide? Would you say it is similar in protection to most other guard offerings?
Any "tipped-over" pics to show what touches first?

Tipped over pics? I've nev... well, ok, I have dirt napped the S10 several times, but it was prior to the Rumbux crash bars going on, so I took the bike out to the front patio and 'laid her down' so the inmates could have a look. Several shots just taken. First with bags on, which clearly has an impact on how far over the bike will go. With the bags on, the lower bar doesn't even touch ground on flat surface. However, with the bags off, it does. I hope the following pics answer your questions, but feel free to ask for a specific pic and I'll do my best.
Now with bags off. Didn't think to get a good low angle shot with the bags on since the bike was held up higher by the bags. Certainly does illustrate that the shift lever is at risk. Both upper and lower bars kiss the pavement at about the same point on flat surface.
And a shot of the upper hoop bar that runs from the hoop to the center bolt that holds the gauge pod bracket/sub unit in place.

Some interesting questions via PM by inmates. There is some interest in using the Rumbux lower bars/skid plate with other companies upper bars. This has not been done or test fit at this point.
What I see is that in most cases this will be possible. The lower Rumbux mounts at the same front bolt as most other upper crash bars and has a flat tab that should fit under or over the other bar's mounting bracket or tab, depending on design. It may require a little muscle or spreading of one product or another, but should not cause any issues.
For those that don't care for the upper hoop design, this is an alternative option that upgrades the skid plate to a non-engine mounted design w/o having to replace your existing upper bars.
I'd love to test fit this concept if anyone happens to be near me or wants to come my way and has another brand of crash bar already mounted. I'll buy/cook lunch for any takers.

Funny, I was just going to ask you that question!
I have the Givi bars already, and I just can't get over the "massive" nature of the light hoops, but I LOVE that skid plate design.
That is why I was asking about ground clearance and how much protection just the bottom piece would provide in a tip over.
Your pictures are AWESOME, and frankly, were needed to sell this product! Thank you!

If enough interest is there, I can order the lower units w/o the forward tabs used to mount the upper bars. This is not a huge deal to have deleted. Cost should be the same.

The Rumbux lower bars/skid plate unit should work with most any upper bars. They will come with spacers too and can be used alone if desired.
It still remains to be seen what, if any mods, if any will be needed with a mixed set of Rumbux & other upper bars. I'm excited to see how that combination works/fits.

Too much going on recently. I received enough orders to place an order with Rumbux. The wire transfer went last Thursday and the bars are in the process of being built now. Hopefully they will ship from South Africa early next week or possibly at the end of this week, depending on their other production work.
At this point the next order is essentially 4-5 weeks out on delivery. For those that want to order Rumbux items and missed this order, please keep that in mind, but the sooner I get the minimum number of items on order, the sooner I can place the build order with Rumbux. They build everything to order, so it's not just a matter of pulling things off the shelf and shipping them. That does slow the process down.
To those that ordered this time, thank you for your purchase and patience!!
More news when I have it to share.

The 2004 film adaptation of the Mike Mignola comics directed and written by Mexican filmmaker Guillermo del Toro.< read all 12 reviews
What did you think of this review?
Use Trust Points to see how much you can rely on this review.
In the ongoing deluge of comic-book adaptations, Hellboy ranks well above average. Having turned down an offer to helm Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban in favor of bringing Hellboy's origin story to the big screen, the gifted Mexican director Guillermo del Toro compensates for the excesses of Blade II with a moodily effective, consistently entertaining action-packed fantasy, beginning in 1944 when the mad monk Rasputin--in cahoots with occult-buff Hitler and his Nazi thugs--opens a transdimensional portal through which a baby demon emerges, capable of destroying the world with his powers. Instead, the aptly named Hellboy is raised by the benevolent Prof. Bloom, founder of the Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense, whose allied forces enlist the adult Hellboy (Ron Perlman, perfectly cast) to battle evil at every turn. While nursing a melancholy love for the comely firestarter Liz (Selma Blair), Hellboy files his demonic horns ("to fit in," says Bloom) and wreaks havoc on the bad guys. The action is occasionally routine (the movie suffers when compared to the similar X-Men blockbusters), but del Toro and Perlman have honored Mike Mignola's original Dark Horse comics with a lavish and loyal interpretation, retaining the amusing and sympathetic quirks of character that made the comic-book Hellboy a pop-culture original. He's red as a lobster, puffs stogies like Groucho Marx, and fights the good fight with a kind but troubled heart. What's ...

Why I Teach
I am passionate about the art courses I teach. My approach is to learn what is important to each student and to help him or her find personal relevance for the subject. My teaching style has much in common with coaching. I listen closely, offer encouragement and give practical exercises to complete. My greatest reward comes from watching students gain new skills and develop their own sensibilities.
I find that my students inspire the direction and outcome of our class work. What we experience in class also influences my work as an artist. For me, this is an ideal environment because teaching fuels my artistic work, and my artistic work fuels my teaching.

DENVER (AP) — The eight teams left in the NFL playoffs can thank their special teams for a good part of their success. That's one reason players are still upset Commissioner Roger Goodell has floated the idea of abolishing kickoffs altogether.
NFL players don't want kickoffs to get the boot
Baltimore Ravens return specialist Jacoby Jones, who returned two kickoffs for touchdowns this season, said if the league gets rid of the electrifying plays, "I'm going to retire. I will go (ballistic). ... If they take out kickoffs, they're going to hate me in this league."
The idea is only a suggestion, one Goodell says the league will consider in the offseason for safety reasons, but players are vehemently opposed to such a radical change they contend would shake the foundation of America's most popular sport.
"I haven't found anybody that likes the idea, because, first of all, the sport is called football, so you can't keep taking the foot part of it out," Denver Broncos punter Britton Colquitt said. "It would also be really confusing if they were like, 'Stay tuned for kickoff,' and there was no kickoff, you know? What are they going to say, 'Stay tuned for the start of the game'?
Abolishing kickoffs would also eliminate the onside kick as an option — like the one the New Orleans Saints used to turn the tide against the Indianapolis Colts coming out of halftime in the Super Bowl three years ago — and it would prune some pizazz from the game, like Desmond Howard's kickoff return for a touchdown that gave Brett Favre his only championship ring in the mid-1990s.
Of the 13 kickoff-return TDs this season, seven came from teams that reached the playoffs as the Ravens, Colts, Patriots, Broncos, Seahawks and Vikings all sported resumes that boasted at least one of the backbreakers.
Players say rules changes like banning the blocking wedge, moving the kickoff up five yards and limiting the number of players who can line up on one side of the ball for an onside kick have already lessened the number of violent collisions in games and they wonder if messing with the kickoffs is simply going too far.
"If you've got to do something about it, if you still feel like it's injuries, then move it up to the 40 and then it's like 99 percent of the time it's going to be a touchback," Colquitt suggested.
That way, the onside kick would still be an option.
"But you even see the returners, they're returning the ball from deeper in the end zone than they used to because they want to return it," Colquitt said. "They're not out there in fear for their life, they're not saying, 'I don't want to do this.'"
Indeed, there were eight 100-yard kickoff-return touchdowns in 2012, the most of any season in NFL history.
"Bringing one out, how is that unsafe? It's football," Jones said. "Everybody doesn't take them out from 8 yards deep, but I take my chances because I have fun. And I have guys in front of me that do a heck of a job blocking. We take care of each other and roll with the punches."
The NFL has made safety a top priority in recent years as it faces lawsuits by thousands of former players who say the league withheld information on the harmful effects of concussions. According to an AP review of 175 lawsuits, 3,818 players have filed suit. At least 26 Hall of Famers are among the players who have done so.
Two years ago, the league moved the kickoff from the 30 to the 35-yard line to cut down on violent collisions, and that has resulted in far more touchbacks and, the league says, a lot fewer head injuries.
The average number of kickoff returns since the rule change has fallen to 1,385 a season from about 2,100 per year before the change, according to STATS LLC.

As we commemorate 20 years of serving our guests and emerging along the way as India's most preferred airline, do join us on our little flight down memory lane as we relive the past and look ahead towards a bright future.
In our first year of operations, Jet Airways announced the launch of a flight connecting Mumbai and Kolkata, two of India's largest cities. This was no ordinary launch; Jet Airways entered the City of Joy with great hopes and dreams on June 22, 1994.
Since its inception we have sought to make Jet Airways an airline for the people, committed to its social responsibilities and continuously honouring its commitment to the community—a promise we have kept even 20 years on. As part of this endeavour we pledged one per cent of our revenue made over three months to Mother Teresa and her Missionaries of Charity in Kolkata. It was an honour and privilege for Jet Airways to be associated with Mother Teresa and her missionaries who continue to work tirelessly towards caring for the underprivileged. She remains an icon and her blessings have helped us reach our emerald jubilee anniversary today. To date we continue with our charitable contributions through the Magic Box.
Encouraged by the market response and the successful establishment of operations as per meticulous planning in the first year, we began implementing our plans to rapidly expand our network. We added two more Boeing 737 aircraft, increasing our fleet to 6 aircraft and our operations to 39 daily flights to / from 14 destinations. By the end of our 10th year of operations, we had a fleet of 41 aircraft that operated over 250 flights daily. In the following 10 years, we focussed on a measured and gradual expansion consistent with market requirements, and in 2011 reached another milestone when we took delivery of the 100th aircraft into our fleet. Today we operate a fleet of 100 aircraft. With an average fleet age of 5.45 years, Jet Airways has one of the youngest fleet of aircraft in the world.
Our goal was always to widen connectivity within India and overseas and facilitate the movement of people, encouraging both tourism and trade while working in tandem with the development of the economy. Over the last decade, as a result of the exponential growth in air travel, a booming economy, significant investments in infrastructure and continuing liberalisation in the industry, Jet Airways grew and expanded connectivity by foraying also into the low fare leisure segment of the market.
Our first strategic step towards this end was to acquire one of the country's major private airlines, Air Sahara, which reinforced our fleet strength. It was reincarnated as JetLite, a no-frill value-based carrier. We launched another Economy service called Jet Airways Konnect in 2009, which was consolidated with the erstwhile JetLite under the JetKonnect brand last year, enabling guests to avail of a single superior in-flight product in the full service (Jet Airways) and low-fare (JetKonnect) categories. With JetKonnect, we were able to upgrade the standards of value-based airline services by introducing guests to improved air and ground services, Première cabins on board, and the benefits of JetPrivilege—our award-winning frequent flyer programme.

According to the Kauffman Index of Entrepreneurial Activity, a leading indicator of new business creation in the United States, men are "substantially more likely to start a business each month than women". In the seventeen year period from 1996 – 2012, the average rate of entrepreneurial activity for men was .37 percent; for women during the same period it was .23 percent.
During my years at the Kauffman Foundation I have seen firsthand the effect that education can have on the development of entrepreneurs and their companies. The entrepreneurs with whom I have worked have taken the lessons they have learned and applied them to great effect in their endeavors as founders. These entrepreneurs benefited from opportunities to learn critical skills, and from gaining an understanding of crucial decisions or junctures that often can derail entrepreneurial businesses.
When we think about the startup life we're often occupied with visions of long days and late nights in the office and the all consuming passion that overtakes a life as someone takes a vision and turns it into reality. An entrepreneur certainly has many things that can easily engulf his or her life as they balance product creation, customer development, hiring, sales and financing, to name but a few. But what about the other side of the life equation? Entrepreneurs have families, friends, spouses, and partners who play an important role.
Entrepreneurship is flourishing on campuses around the country. In classrooms and through co-curricular programs and competitions, students on diverse campuses, at universities large and small, representing disciplines across the spectrum, have the opportunity to understand the role of entrepreneurship in the economy, explore innovation, test their own ideas, and learn what they need to know to be entrepreneurs.
In a matter of weeks colleges and universities across the country will be teeming with students. A new school year will bring the excitement of new discovery, opportunities to meet new people, and the anticipation of learning. On these campuses students will also find a vast array of opportunities to explore entrepreneurship.
When I read Meg Hirshberg's book "For Better or for Work: A Survival Guide for Entrepreneurs and Their Families" I knew instantly that I wanted Meg to join our slate of Founders School experts. The goal of Founders School is to provide entrepreneurs with crucial skills and knowledge, and to do so with an eye to topics that are important but rarely discussed in typical entrepreneurship education programs. The subject of Meg's book is just such a topic. We all know that entrepreneurs have to juggle a variety of considerations when founding a company: team building, assessment of product/market fit, intellectual property, and how to get that first important customer. What many entrepreneurs and, more importantly, their families, know is that there's a juggle on the family side of the equation as well, but it's one that many entrepreneurs may be reluctant to talk about.
Some of the very first decisions founders must make early on in their ventures are crucially important to the future of the business. Many of these decisions concern the ubiquitous "people problems" that challenge even experienced entrepreneurs. When should I found? Should I co-found with someone? With whom? How should we split the equity? Bad or ill-informed choices at critical junctures could have significant consequences for startups. In fact, research has suggested that 65 percent of new firm failures were related to problems within the management team.
Our founder, Ewing Marion Kauffman, once said: "It's your right to be uncommon if you can. You seek opportunity to compete. You desire to take calculated risk, to dream, to build, yes, even to fail, and to succeed". He was talking to entrepreneurs: those people who create new ventures, building visions into reality. Indeed, entrepreneurs are uncommon in many ways. They create something from nothing. They see problems (and solutions) that others might not. They take personal and financial risks.
Leaving presentations to chance is like embarking on a trip without a map (hat tip to Amanda Schnieders for the metaphor). If you don't know where you're headed and how you'll get there, you may not reach your destination.

Is there a 3rd-party alternate to the Windows 7 network dectection and connection ?
I ran into an odd situation where there are actually 2 public signals at a business.
The one that Win 7 detects and connects to, is only about 46% signal strength.
I was running a wireless signal strength detection program, and discovered that there is another signal at the same location, but it is somehow hidden from Windows.
This second signal is running at 100% !
I'd like to be able to connect to it, naturally.
Both are supposed to be unsecured/Open.
Thanks for any helpful advice.
