Magistrates are in the process of finalizing the County's budget for the next fiscal year but have yet to make a decision on whether they will pay the City to operate countywide emergency services.
Taylor Fiscal Court's Budgets, Audits and Personnel Committee met Monday night to continue its discussion of the 2011-2012 County budget.
By Staff Writers Calen McKinney and James Roberts
There seem to be more questions than answers regarding new flood damage prevention measures required by the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
During its regular meeting Monday, Campbellsville City Council opted to table the second reading of a flood damage prevention ordinance.
On Tuesday night, magistrates discussed the proposed flood plain ordinance in depth but ultimately decided to create their own.
Magistrates have begun work on the County's 2011-2012 fiscal year budget.
They focused on the road department and jail budgets Monday night by examining each of the funds' proposed line item allocations during a meeting of the County's Budgets, Audits and Personnel Committee.
To begin the meeting, Taylor County Judge/Executive Eddie Rogers said the County faces several budget uncertainties.
"We've got a lot of work ahead of us right here," he said.
The County is holding off on its agreement to pay $650,000 to the City for annual operation of countywide emergency and dispatch services.
Local economic development incentives have led to one expansion, and another announcement is waiting in the wings.
During a special joint meeting of the Taylor County Fiscal Court and Campbellsville City Council on Monday, magistrates and council members gave Economic Development Authority Executive Director Ron McMahan the OK to move forward with a project that would bring additional jobs to Taylor County.
The third time likely won't be the charm for a bill that would allow voters registered as independent to participate in Kentucky's primary elections.
14th District Sen. Jimmy Higdon, R-Lebanon, has filed the bill in Frankfort yet again. But he says, although support is growing, it likely won't be considered by the House.
"I filed it in the House two years ago and nothing happened," Higdon said. "I filed it in the Senate last year and we passed it, but it died in a House committee."
Students who'd like a jump-start on college could soon be able to graduate and leave high school early.
A proposed bill creating an early graduation program has passed the Senate and is now at a House of Representatives education committee for its consideration.
Senate Bill 69, sponsored by Sen. Ken Winters, R-Murray, would require 18 credits in core academic areas for early graduation, including two college-level courses through the Advanced Placement or International Baccalaureate programs. The program would begin with the 2012-2013 school year.
Expenses are up and revenue is down, but the County is making its budget balance nonetheless.
County Treasurer Melissa Williams says reserve money is being used and two employees have been laid off. As a result, she said she believes the budget is in OK shape.
The County's budget was the focus of Monday night's meeting of Taylor Fiscal Court's Budgets, Audits and Personnel Committee. Williams presented magistrates with the current status of the general, road and jail funds.
Downtown shoppers no longer need to rush.
During its regular meeting Monday, Campbellsville City Council members approved replacing signs limiting downtown parking to just two hours. The signs will be repainted to read "Customer Parking Only."
Downtown Business Association President Doug Tucker, who attended the Council meeting, said the signs were erected long before Main Street was ever home to restaurants. Now, limiting customers to two-hour parking doesn't provide enough time to eat and shop downtown.
Those who build a home in Taylor County could soon have a few more items to cross off on their checklist.
Magistrates will consider adopting an ordinance next month that requires all new homes in Taylor County be inspected and comply with specific codes.
Carley Fudge, Taylor County's building inspector, told magistrates during their regular meeting on Tuesday night that the City currently requires inspections.
The County adopting such an ordinance, Fudge said, would lower homeowner's insurance costs.

Thanks to a recent surge in two-wheel popularity, there are tons of great looking custom bikes on the market. And unlike some of the bigger names in the industry, these creations aren't just assembly line, sell to the highest bidder business boosters either; they're highly planned, highly detailed show pieces that have the performance and dependability to back up their cool parking lot appeal. With only 476 miles on its polished S&S Sidewinder V-twin motor, this road ready 2005 Bourget's Fat Daddy cruiser is a fully sorted turn-key custom with exceptional attention to detail and great fit and finish. If you're a two wheel enthusiast who's looking for killer style and proven reliability at an exceptional price, your search is over!
Since it was founded in 1993 in Phoenix, Arizona, Bourget's Bike Works has churned out some of the most macho, professionally built motorcycles on the planet. Chock full of custom fabricated components, which promote higher levels of performance and significantly increase that all important 'WOW' factor, their models are built with the same no expense spared, best of everything approach that is a cornerstone of the universally appealing 'custom Harley' mindset. With their hard metal veneers and deep-throated roars, Bourget's signature models like this 2005 Fat Daddy are explicitly designed to turn heads and inspire stares. And this bike, fully detailed in realistic flames, bolted together with layers of polished metal and powered by a fully sorted drivetrain, is some of the best work they've ever produced!
While most commercial choppers are standardized, mass produced packages which lack the intensity and attention to detail of true custom builds, Bourget bikes maintain a level of style and authenticity that can be tweaked and further customized to create an individual masterpiece. This particular Fat Daddy features traditional Bourget's sheetmetal that, along with the frame, has been bathed in a brilliant coat of Black Cherry paint which somehow manages to be both striking and sophisticated at the same time. Once that deep metallic paint was dry, a dynamic realistic flame job, which begins at the front fender and flows through the ultra-big gas tank to the rear fender, was added under a cool skeleton graphic that serves as a sinister custom touch. When the skeleton had been completely 'brought to life', every inch of paint was covered in a high quality layer of clearcoat which creates a spectacular, glossy shine. The result is a first-rate paint job which combines with the bikes completely chromed and polished accessories to create a great looking road warrior with instant curb appeal!
At the front of the bike, a polished fork hangs a chrome headlight and chrome LED turn signals above a 21 inch polished aluminum wheel which wears a 127/70 Avon Venom X tire. At the side of that custom aluminum wheel, a disc brake system utilizes braided brake lines to squeeze a massive chrome Bourget's Bike Works caliper around a giant drilled rotor. On top of the polished fork, custom chrome sweeper handle bars center a small digital gauge pod between polished leavers for the bikes brakes and stylish Bourget's Bike Works mirrors. Behind that front fork, the bikes Black Cherry frame holds a highly detailed S&S V-twin engine, which is completely decked in chrome and produces a classic, instantly recognizable sound, above Bourget's famous in-frame oil cooler. Behind that engine, a chrome-capped Primo three open primary belt drive sits below a billet guard and bullet style LED tail lights that are anchored by the Black Cherry frame; and at the top of that engine, an ultra-big chopper fuel tank sits in front of form fitting, red stitched leather seats and a removable sissy bar. Behind those seats, a short rear fender hangs over a huge 300/35 Avon Venom R tire that rides a custom 18 inch polished aluminum wheel. And a second large rotor combines with a second chrome caliper and more braided brake hoses to provide quick and even stops. Rivaling the best custom built pieces on the market; this awesome Fat Daddy is a 100% road ready bike that features an unmatched level of detail and a classic custom appearance.
The heart of this awesome Bourget's bike is a proven 113 cubic inch S&S Super Sidewinder V-twin engine which utilizes electronic compression releases, roller rockers, forged pistons, an S&S 600 camshaft, polished tappet blocks and an S&S high volume, high pressure oil pump to create a stout 10 to 1 compression ratio and a broad, flat torque band on readily available 93 octane pump gas. Founded in 1958, S&S Cycles is one of the biggest and most trusted motorcycle engine builders in the world, and this choppers V-twin is one of the most powerful engines they produce. At the top of the highly detailed motor, Bourget's Bike Works branded chrome rocker box covers sit above "S&S" scripts that are stamped on the polished, air cooled cylinders. On the right side of the bike, an S&S Cycles Super G one barrel carburetor sits behind a chrome air cleaner that's positioned just above polished two-into-one exhaust pipes. Below that carburetor, chrome rod covers lead your eye past a chrome fuel pressure gauge to a polished cam cover that is branded with "BBW" lettering. And on the left side of the bike, a chrome coil cover sits in front of black Accel Graphite RFI Suppression wires that snake their way to the engines spark plugs. All this top notch hardware rides on a rigid Springer Softail suspension which flattens the pavement and provides an unmatched vintage feel. And all the S&S motors power flows through a proven Jim's 6-speed overdrive transmission which features aftermarket chrome foot and shifter pegs.
From its polished handle bars to its polished kick stand, this 2005 Bourget's Fat Daddy is a completely sorted show piece that's ready to enjoy today. There is a definite difference between even the nicest production bikes and customs like this; and every piece of this motorcycle adds to both its awesome curb appeal and amazing street prowess. It represents years of open road freedom in a reliable, fully sorted turnkey wrapper that can be yours for an unbeatable price!

I finished my quilt along 9 patch top before we left last week. I really really love this quilt. As you can tell I changed the pattern a little bit. (its supposed to look like this ) Me+sashings = grumpy……so I changed it. Lazy lazy lazy lazy lazy me.
Right now this quilt top is buried in the depths of the car. Did I mention I'm really sick of traveling? I am. My feet are numb from the AC blasting in the car, I'm sick of eating junk food, gross public restrooms and counting bug splats on the windshield. We're in Portland now, which I love love love Portland, but I'm still ready to get unpacked and setteled. And I'm going through sewing withdrawls, I'm starting to get the shakes and lash out at my loved ones.....must.....sew...soon.

You could probably identify it a mile away just from the entourage of starry-eyed on-lookers. People flock and stare in wonderment where ever it goes. Sitting still or in motion, it doesn't matter-the reactions are always the same.
What's that down the road? Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it's not even a cape-wearing superhero in spandex. It's something far better-it's the Warren County Sheriff's Department C5 "Crimefighter" Corvette!
This remarkably effective public relations tool is used primarily to promote drug prevention among school children as part of the nationwide D.A.R.E. (Drug Awareness and Resistance Education) program, and Warren County's own "Reach for Your Dreams" drug and violence prevention curriculum that centers around the Corvette. The employment of a new Vette for Warren County, Kentucky's program seems only natural-not only is a Corvette one of the most distinct and awe-inspiring cars on the road, but Warren County just happens to contain a certain small town called Bowling Green, home of the Corvette Assembly Plant and the National Corvette Museum.
The Crimefighter Corvette has been an ever-evolving project, organized and sponsored by many individuals and corporations, but it has basically been the brainchild of its pilot and project director, Captain Joe Jakub. Joe has been a consummate friend of both the Corvette and the community. He is now a fully deputized law officer with Warren County, but from 1979 until his early retirement from GM, Joe worked as purchasing manager for the Corvette Assembly Plant, and even acted as a Development Manager on the National Corvette Museum for a short time during its founding. Joe has always been active in community service organizations as well, like The United Way and the Child Protection Board.
After participating in a community leadership program, Joe and his fellow program alumni implemented a project called "Crimestoppers", which brought Jakub into close association with the local law enforcement agencies. Joe was made an "auxiliary deputy" back in the '80s, while serving as president of the State Crimestoppers Association and Chairman of the local Crimestoppers board, and still working at the Corvette Plant. After retiring from GM, he was offered the new position of Crime Prevention Officer, so he went through full training and entered active service for Warren County.
Joe soon became involved and extremely interested in the D.A.R.E. program and drug prevention as a whole. Ideas for a Corvette D.A.R.E. car were soon running through his mind. Thanks in part to the many personal connections Joe established as a GM employee, the concept took off. The idea behind building "cool" cars for the D.A.R.E. program has been around for years and is very wide spread. The principle is to help break down barriers between kids and police officers, who can seem pretty intimidating, by giving them a comparatively universal discussion piece. Eight years ago, the Warren County Prevention Partnership sponsored a Camaro D.A.R.E. car.
In 2000, the Warren County Prevention Partnership, which consists of some 135 corporate partners across the U.S., provided them with a brand-new '00 Magnetic Red convertible for use. A lot of effort has gone into designing the "right" look and feel for the C5 to elicit interest, enthusiasm, and involvement from people who see it-children and adults alike. "Captain Joe," as he's known by the children he works with, admits he has had an edge up on creating this extraordinary car "because I'd already dealt with a lot of people in the past in my position with General Motors," but he credits Warren County Sheriff Jerry "Peanuts" Gaines, past president of the National Sheriff's Association and director of the W.C. Prevention Council, with making "it possible for the Crimefighter Corvette project to be what it is today." Since the Advisory Council includes other notable (and relatively powerful) names such as Joe Spielman, Vice President and General Manager of GM's Metal Fabricating Division and 2001 NCM Hall of Fame inductee, and the Corvette Plant's General Manager Wil Cooksey, Captain Joe was certain to get things done.

Starkville High girls basketball coach Kristie Williams is under no illusions about the Lady Yellowjackets' tough 2010-11 season.
Yet through the ups and downs, and the 5-18 overall record, the SHS leader still had a reason to smile Thursday as two of her players, Courtney Moore and Chelsey Johnson-Weaver, signed with Meridian Community College.
"This goes to show that regardless of how rocky our season was and how we didn't accomplish any of the goals we set as a team, we still have players that are able to shine at the end, who can go on and achieve their goal of playing at the next level," said Williams. "We had storms in our season, but now the rainbow is shining."
Moore shined as a dynamic post player for Williams, averaging 15.5 points and 9.5 rebounds per game.
While indicating she believes MCC head coach Hilary Allen may move her to the wing in Meridian's fast-paced offense, Moore says her Thursday signing is both exciting and a call for her to step up her offseason workouts.
"It's like reality hasn't hit me yet," said Moore. "I've signed, but it hasn't hit. It doesn't really change a lot for me. I work out most of the summer anyway, but now instead of most of the summer, it's going to be all of the summer to get me back in shape."
According to Allen, Moore's conditioning will be key to fitting in at MCC.
The Lady Eagles, who finished at 27-6 last season while capturing their league title and conference tournament, regularly rotate players in and out of what Allen describes as an "up-and-down, full-court, fast breaking team."
"We need bodies that can go out there and play two, three or four minutes at the time and stay fresh," said Allen. "That's when we're the most successful. I see Courtney as that kind of kid. She can play four or five minutes, give me a burst of energy, take a blow, then get out there and give another burst of energy."
Williams believes Moore can step in and do big things for Allen and the Lady Eagles. After all, it wasn't that long ago that Moore did just that for the Lady Jackets.
"Courtney came in as a junior and right away made an immediate impact," said Williams. "She bonded well with the players and that chemistry developed. Courtney was a hard worker in the paint and was one of those players where the other coaches always wanted to know if she was playing or not. She made an impact for us and for opponents as well."
Johnson-Weaver was just as valuable to Williams and Starkville High. Throughout her career, Johnson saw sparse playing time, but that all changed in 2010-11.
In winning the team's sixth woman award, Johnson-Weaver averaged seven points and 6.5 rebounds per game, providing SHS with valuable minutes whenever she was on the floor.
"I've known Chelsey all of her life and to see her develop into the caliber of player that she is now is just a big accomplishment as far as her work ethic," said Williams. "Over the summer, her leadership ability stepped up tremendously and not only did she go on to win our sixth woman award this year, it was like she was that sixth starter for us. She was able to come in and get key rebounds in a ballgame and actually took charges this year. That's a big thing for us and we joked with her about that. She was able to take a charge, get up smiling and be ready to go back down the floor."
In Allen's mind, he sees a talented player in Johnson-Weaver. Perhaps even more importantly, he sees a fundamentally-sound player.
"What I have found from (Williams') players is that all of her players have the basic fundamentals of the game," said Allen. "We play at such a fast pace that I have to have that. I don't always have to have great talent or great basketball skills. If we play fundamentally sound at that fast pace, we're going to be successful. That's what I'm expecting from Chelsea and from Courtney."
Johnson-Weaver says she's excited to prove herself at MCC. Still, she says it's hard to believe she got her big opportunity to play at the next level.
"This year was really my first year to even experience touching the floor," said Johnson-Weaver. "(Williams) had always told me though that I had something special."
Now, both Johnson-Weaver and Moore will use their abilities to benefit Meridian. Williams expects both of her former players to continue to excel once they get to MCC.
"The sky is the limit for both of them," said Williams. "I've always had a great relationship with (Allen) and I know that he's going to expect a lot out of them and I know he should be able to get them to reach that highest level with him."

I'm in a list kind of mood tonight. I'm not sure how many of you actually played this ancient machine from the 80s called a Nintendo Entertainment System, ever heard of it? This machine rocked all other game consoles and made them plead for mercy back in the day. This 8-bit wonder rotted my brain for nearly 10 years of my childhood. The game library is massive indeed, so I decided to wittle it down to the best of the best for each genre, IMO. Feel free to add your own lists, I'd like to see em.
-The Legend of Zelda - The original Zelda game that started it all. Top-down view action-RPG. The graphics are little dated even for NES, but gameplay FAR outweighs that problem.
-Zelda 2: The Adventure of Link - The 1st Zelda sequel. This time they changes the top-down view for a side-scrolling RPG adventure. Still a blast to play and it implements a level-up system.
-Crystalis - Called a Legend of Zelda clone, but IMO was much better than Legend of Zelda. It is bigger, longer, better graphics, and better sound. Made by SNK this is a top-down action-RPG. You level up, collect more powerful magic, swords, and armors. And you set out on a grand quest to save the world as well as random town side-quests.
-Dragon Warrior IV - The best old-school, turn-based RPG on the NES, IMO. It had the best graphics, characters, and story of any of the original Dragon Warrior games on the NES.
-The Battle of Olmpus - The NES's God of War. This game was a side-scrolling action-RPG set in Ancient Greek Mythology. Overlooked by many, sadly.
-Contra - The best shooter on the NES. Grab a buddy and shoot endless hordes of enemies, aliens, and automatic defenses as a buff military type that can switch between flame throwers, machine guns, laser guns, and other weapons.
-Dragon Spirit - A fantasy based shooter where you control a dragon. The game had great space-ship shooter-style gameplay, with power-ups included, and had impressive cutscenes for an NES game with japanese-anime style art.
-Gradius - Awesome space-ship shooter that includes various power-ups for your ship.
-Star Soldier - A classic space-ship shooter from NES's early days, more power-ups and flying enemies here, starting to see a theme with me?
Beat 'Em Ups:
-Double Dragon - Can't go wrong with a classic like Double Dragon. What all other beat-em up games were built off of.
-Frankenstein: The Monster Returns - An incredible horror-themed action game that was overlooked due to it being released late in the NES's life (at this time Sega Genesis and SNES were both out). It plays like a mix between Golden Axe & Castlevania, and does an incredible job at doing it.
-Monsters in My Pocket - A game based on, of all things, 6-inch tall classic monsters (Frankenstein & Dracula). A horror-themed action game that's a blast to play and does a great job showing off what the NES can really do graphically.
-Teenage Mutant Ninja Turles II: The Arcade Game - Grab a buddy and fight through hordes of Foot Soldiers, Bebop & Rocksteady, Krang, & Shredder.
-Mega Man 2 - The best of the Mega Man NES games, IMO. The most balanced game, and the most well thought-out bosses & level-design of the NES Mega Man games. But all the NES Mega Man games are great, pick up any of them if you can. But the first one is punishing in it difficulty.
-Ninja Gaiden II: The Dark Sword of Chaos - One of the most impressive games for the NES. Great cutscenes for an NES game and a very in-depth story for it's time. Impressive graphics, good use of NES sound, impressive gameplay, and impressive boss battles. Challenging gameplay, though. The same things can be said about the 1st and 3rd games in this series as well. But the 2nd one was always my favorite.
-Spider-Man: Return of the Sinister Six - The only good comic-based game on the NES. This game pitted you as Spider-Man against the six members of the Sinister Six. Each member had a level full of platforming and henchmen to dispose of, and then you fought the super-villain at the end of the level. Pretty good gameplay, decent graphics, good use of webbing and web-swinging, and impressive boss battles. The first truly impressive comic-based video game IMO.
-Bionic Commando - Capcom really outdid themselves with this one. This, IMO, was Capcom's crowning achievement on the NES. This game mixed military action, contra-style run & gunning, and great platforming into a game I still play from time-to-time to this day. Play as a unique soldier that has a bionic arm grafted to his body. Instead of jumping, you swing from object to object much like Spider-Man using your extendable bionic arm. You can gain various kinds of guns and gizmos through-out your battle across enemy lines to save captured super-soldier Super Joe.
Platformers (This is where the NES REALLY shines!)
-Super Mario Bros. - The classic that Nintendo owe's it's initial success with the NES. Play as Mario or Luigi and save the Mushroom Kingdom and Princess Peach from the evil King Koopa. 32 levels full of super-mushrooms, fire-flowers, invincible-stars, goombas, Koopa Troopas (Turtles), and Bullet Bills to play through. Primitive graphics even for NES, but the gameplay far outweighs this issue.
-Super Mario Bros. 2 - The sequel to Super Mario Bros. (at least it was in North America). Still a platformer, but everything else about the game has changed. This isn't a bad thing, though. This is still a very fun Mario game, and has much more impressive graphics and sound than the first game.
-Super Mario Bros. 3 - Many consider this game to be the greatest game ever released for the NES. This game went back to the run & jump with coins & power-ups style of the first game but expanded and evolved the concept tenfold. Better graphics, better sound, bigger levels, more levels, more secrets, more power-ups, more bosses, more added mythos to the Mario Universe. A landmark masterpiece of gaming.
-Kirby's Adventure - The very first, and IMO, the best 2D Kirby game released. An action-platformer set in a fantastical land. Kirby takes on the powers of any enemy he inhales which will help him against many enemies, obstacles, and bosses.
-DuckTales - A great platformer made by Capcom. Take control of Uncle Scrooge as he's on a quest to become even richer searching for the greatest treasures on Earth. Great graphics and sounds, and awesome level design & gameplay make this game a blast to play.

DeFUNIAK SPRINGS — The football field at Walton High School is getting a long-anticipated facelift.
Workers have been on the job since May replacing aging buildings, the non-regulation track and the field to bring everything up to 21st century standards like the high school building that was replaced in 2009.
"We had a $40 million high school with a 25-cent stadium," said Mark Gardner, director of facilities for the Walton County School District.
See photos of the renovations. >>
Planning for the multi-phase renovation began in 2010 but stalled for about a year when property values dipped and sapped tax revenue, Gardner said.
When all is said and done, the sports area will boast new restrooms and concession stands, a seating area that meets requirements for the Americans with Disabilities Act and a rubberized track that can be used for district and state meets.
The football stadium hadn't had any major work since it was built in 1969, but a drainage issue helped prompt the project, Gardner said.
When the school was built, storm water runoff was directed to a wooded area behind it. Homes have been built there over the last several years, so the district wanted to add retention ponds to capture the runoff and avoid any future problems, Gardner said.
"It's not that we haven't addressed an issue," he said. "This is just getting us in compliance."
All the turf from the football field was moved to the practice field, and after the track was torn up the entire area was leveled. This month's rain — 35 inches as of Wednesday morning — has slowed things down, but officials hope work will stay on track.
The work should be finished in time for the first home football game against South Walton High School, Principal Russell Hughes said.
"(The football field) is the heart of our community," Hughes said. "It's really going to bring a sense of pride."
People frequently drop by to check on the progress, Hughes said. The school also has been posting photo updates on its website, but people still ask questions.
Hughes said he was asked recently what color the new scoreboard will be. The answer is Navy blue with white trim in a nod to the school's colors.
Gardner said the district doesn't plan to do any other comparable athletic field renovations in the foreseeable future. However, Paxton and Freeport might see new tracks soon.

Switching lenses is a snap.
These will replace a bunch of the sunglasses in your collection. When conditions change, just snap out one set of polycarbonate lenses and pop in another for optimal vision any time. Set includes 3 pairs of lenses: Polarized lenses block 100% of UVA, UVB, UVC and blue light. Amber lenses amplify contrast in low light. Clear lenses protect eyes at night, great for motorcyclists. The set comes with a rigid zipper case with protective lens bag.

Best Uses
Its good for casual wear and also 'fun'-riding! They're great for just wearing around (there's a 'look' to them!), and for riding a bike around town. I got a very good deal on them, and so, I guess it makes it a good purchase. But at [$] regular, its on the spendier side.

Performance ExhaustFor your 2004 infiniti fx35
FAQ: Performance Exhausts and Exhaust Systems
What is the difference between a cat-back exhaust system and an axle-back exhaust system?
The difference between a cat-back exhaust and axle back exhaust is the length of the exhaust system. An axle-back exhaust begins at the last attachment point and goes to the tips. Cat-back exhausts start at the catalytic converter and go back to the tips. Cat-back exhaust systems include the middle pipe and rear section (axle-back). If you are just looking for a sportier sound and look, you will likely be happy with rear section exhaust. However, if you are looking for performance gains, in addition to sound and looks, you will probably want to go with cat-back exhaust upgrade.
What are the benefits of upgrading my exhaust?
Most people upgrade their exhausts for the performance gains - specifically horse power and torque. Some customers also report seeing fuel economy gains as well! Additionally, with a new exhaust, you get to enjoy a sportier sound that you would not typically get to enjoy with a stock exhaust system.
Will installing a new performance exhaust impact my manufacturer's warranty?
No, it will not. A dealer cannot void your warranty for installing a cat-back exhaust or rear exhaust system.
Are the exhausts STILLEN sells CARB legal?
Yes, each cat-back exhaust or rear exhaust STILLEN sells is CARB legal.
Why should I purchase an aftermarket exhaust from STILLEN?
Most importantly, STILLEN only sells exhaust systems made by reputable auto part manufacturers that stand behind their products. Currently, we carry exhausts made by STILLEN, JBA, Gibson, Magnaflow, Injen and COBB. For your peace of mind, each stainless steel exhaust we carry comes with a limited lifetime warranty. Additionally, we offer free shipping on most exhaust systems, so you are not charged an extra shipping fee to get your order to you. Last, but not least, STILLEN also manufacturers our own line of exhaust systems and has a full service performance shop that actually performs the installations. This means that we are truly experts and thorough knowledge of all the parts we sell.
Contact Us
If you have any questions or would like to schedule an installation appointment, just let us know! Give us a call at (866) 250-5542 and we will be happy to answer any questions you have or schedule your installation for you.

In baseball terms, a "five star" player represents the crme de la crme of his profession. Those select few that can be grouped into this exclusive category can hit for both average and power, outrun a thoroughbred race horse around the base paths, and have a howitzer attached to their throwing arm, all while having incredible defensive savvy in the field. In the automotive world, a "total package" performer must incorporate mind-bending acceleration with Spiderman-like roadholding capability. The exterior and interior packages should set said automobile apart from the masses without crossing the line into gaudiness. And Gary Svecki's '88 Chevrolet Silverado shortbed pickup truck virtually defines the term.
Svecki, who owns and operates Performance Paint and Body, in Torrance, California, was looking for something truly special when it came to the Fleetside. The anemic factory powerplant was discarded in favor of a heavily breathed-upon 5.7-liter Tuned-Port mill. The addition of a 3.750-inch stroker crankshaft has increased total engine displacement to 383 cubes. A mild hydraulic roller camshaft now props the upgraded 2.02-inch intake valves inside the iron cylinder heads. The big-inch Tuned Port was further enhanced by a Vortech S-Trim supercharger system. The Silverado splits time between street cruiser status and Performance Paint propaganda tool, necessitating the addition of the deep three-stage Candyapple Red clearcoat that now adorns the body panels. Rolling stock is a combination of Budnik Prism 17-inch alloys wrapped in BFG rubber, with a Bell Tech drop spindle/spring package to give it just the right stance.
The mondo-modified drivetrain and eye-popping exterior proved to be a stark contrast to the Bow-Tie's mundane factory interior, however. "The interior was the only thing left on the truck that was even close to stock. I wanted a customized look to the interior that would compliment the rest of the package. At the same time, it could not be gaudy or overdone," Svecki said.
Enter Willie Sopher of Willie's Upholstery. Sopher's handiwork has been behind countless award-winning custom interiors at the center of a wide variety of vehicles, including numberous modified VW Bugs and trucks.
"There were just too many painters and mechanics 15 years ago when I got into this," says Willie," and there just was not that many ways to be creative without a million dollars invested in tools and such."
"When it came to the Silverado, (Svecki) basically handed me the reins," Sopher related," and gave me the 'go' to do what needed to be done." Consequently, Willie wasted little time in stripping the factory seats, dashboard, center console, and door panels from the Fleetside's interior.
"The new seats are actually base model buckets out of an '89 Silverado that I added custom pleats and recovered in a special gray interweave tweed." High on Sopher's list of priorities was eliminating the factory door panel's bulky power window and door lock controls in favor of a more streamlined, three-dimensional look. A special superstructure fashioned from a combination of wood, Bondo, and water-repellant neoprene was integrated into the production panel to create the desired effect. The dashboard and center console presented fit and clearance issues as well.
"I had to make sure the end gaps and spacing remained consistent throughout," Willie related.

Yea nirvana and ff arent really favorites of mine but I like quite a few songs of theirs. I always wondered how people like Dave and Maynard find time to be in two popular bands at the same time.

Ranger game was really something last night. Close, too close. Need to keep scoring.
Sir Thomas Richard Coughlin The Great
in '01, he was asked to be the drummer for Queens of the Stone Age first album, knowing it wasn't permanent.
And about 2 years ago, while not working on any Foo Fighters material, he had a side project called "Them Crooked Vultures"....which was honestly a pretty freakin' awesome album if you havent heard it.(John Paul Jones from Zeppelin is in that band, and Josh Homme from Queens of the Stoneage, and Eagles of Death Metal)

Today's mortgage rates are lower.
It has been a volatile morning. Uncertainty about Greece and concerns about the pace of economic growth in China have helped MBS again today. In the U.S., the May Trade Deficit came in very close to expectations.
Despite how mortgage rates are doing today so far, note that rates can change at anytime, and often without advance notice. In a calm mortgage market, expect today's interest rates to change once or twice during the course of the day.
In a volatile mortgage market, current mortgage rates can change five times daily or more.
As a mortgage rate shopper, it's important to know when today's rates are changing. This is because, when mortgage rates change, mortgage lenders will not honor rate quotes which have not been previously "locked".
To lock today's mortgage rates, then, be sure to commit with your lender before current rates begin to move. Whether you're trying to lock a purchase or a refinance loan, the market waits for no one.
Click to compare today's live rates.
Today's mortgage rate analysis is based on live mortgage-backed securities (MBS) pricing provided by MBSQuoteline, a real-time mortgage market data service available to loan officers, real estate agents, and other finance professionals.
The MBS data supplied by MBSQuoteline is the same market data used to formulate current mortgage rates by the nation's mortgage lenders.
The chart at top depicts today's Fannie Mae mortgage bond pricing. Fannie Mae bonds are linked to conventional mortgage rates which include mortgage rates for programs such as the Home Affordable Refinance Program (HARP 2.0), the 3-percent down Conventional 97 loan, the HomePath mortgage program, and others.
MBS prices are inversely related to today's mortgage rates. When bond prices rise, mortgage rates sink. In general, a twenty-five basis point change in MBS pricing -- up or down -- leads to a 0.125 percentage point change in mortgage rates.
Note that the chart above does not depict the path of today's Ginnie Mae mortgage bonds, although Ginnie Mae bonds and Fannie Mae bonds tend to move in similar directions.
Ginnie Mae bonds correlate to today's mortgage rates for FHA loans, such as the FHA Streamline Refinance, which are insured by the Federal Housing Administration; VA loans guaranteed by the Department of Veterans Affairs; and USDA loans guaranteed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
Mortgage rates change all day, every day. The mortgage rates you get from your bank "now" won't be the same rates you get from your bank in an hour. Be smart when you shop. Compare multiple lenders and get your best deal.
Get a complimentary mortgage rate quote now. Rate quotes are available at no cost, with no obligation to proceed, and with no social security number required to get started.

Chilli, that's a funny pic but what is it mean to be?

GB, rather. I just checked and the human genome has roughly 3.3 billion base pairs. Since you can store a DNA-Sequence with just the 4 letters ATGC and you only need one half of a strand to have all information, that makes roughly 1.6 billion bytes of data = 1.6 GB. Since you only need 4 symbols, that isn't even accurate, since you could store those 4 letters in just 2 bits - (00 = A, 10 = T, 01 = G, 11 = C), so in one byte you can encode 4 bases. Makes it 400 MB of data. Since parts of the DNA are highly redundant you could probably get to 75 MB with a compression algorithm.
Gotta check if that is correct.
Edit: Minor correction: Dividing by 2 isn't allowed here, since you could just store a base pair in one bit. So that makes around 800 MB for the whole genome. The coding part of that is about 3%, which amounts to about 24 MB - but since we don't know what the other approximately 97% of the DNA do, it's probably safer to not ditch them . Else evolution would probably have taken care of that already.
Edit II: Oh, and if we're talking about the complete genome, not the one in sperm or egg cells, than we have to multiply with 2, since all other cells are diploid (have 2 complete DNAs, one from the father and one from the mother).

Flashy paint aside, nothing about Ryan Custodio's and Cory Gallus' Corvettes seemed too out of the ordinary as the cars sat waiting their turn for a spin on the dyno at a show last summer. A peek through the windows revealed discrete six-point rollcages, but no other modifications. Things looked to be mostly stock under the aftermarket hoods, except for the nitrous setup on Ryan's car, which also wore a set of CCW wheels. No big deal.
But when the cars roared to life, it became obvious something about these C5s was really different. Big cubes were definitely behind the deep, vicious exhaust notes, and the smell... what was that? E85. At about 105-octane, the 85-percent ethanol and 15-percent gas blend is race fuel on the cheap. It's about a buck cheaper than premium in southern Minnesota, where Ryan and Cory tear up the boulevards in their homebuilt, daily-driven, 427-cube corn guzzlers that'll blow the doors off an unsuspecting street racer.
Whether a Corvette in any form can be considered a sleeper is up for debate, but other than the look-at-me paint, these two C5s aren't throwing much on the table. You might say they're super-fast wolves in sheep's clothing. Both cars have been dyno'd at more than 500 hp and 500 lb-ft of torque at the rear wheels on motor alone, run low 11s in the quarter-mile, and are capable of running on E85, gasoline, or a mixture of both with no tuning in between.
Cory and Ryan don't have a longtime love affair with Corvettes or corn, and the development of their cars was somewhat by chance. The guys have been buddies since the late '90s when they met at Dunwoody College of Technology in Minneapolis, where they earned degrees in automotive service. Cory grew up in a Mopar household and helped his dad restore a '68 Dodge Super Bee when he was 15. Ryan didn't have a history of building cars, but quickly got into the hobby after meeting Cory.
Showing no allegiance to the Pentastar, Cory's first solo project was an '86 Chevrolet Camaro IROC-Z that he converted to an LT1 with a six-speed. He sold that car to Ryan, and it wasn't long before the friends were both ready for something with a little more power.
They both wanted a late-model project car that could go fast and be comfortable at the same time. "We both knew we wanted to modify them and still be able to have air conditioning," Ryan said. They both liked the look and drive of the C5s, so after saving up some cash from their jobs as mechanics-Cory works on Audis and Porsches for a living, Ryan wrenches on Hondas-they purchased their first Corvettes. Cory's was a headers and cam car; Ryan's had a stock motor and some minor suspension and exhaust modifications.

Barrow driver cheats death
Last updated at 08:39, Friday, 09 November 2012
A BARROW man is lucky to be alive following a horrific single vehicle crash in Rampside Road.
Emergency services rushed to the scene at around 9pm yesterday (Thursday) after the alert was raised by a fellow motorist who saw the carnage.
The driver, who is in his 30s, was heading towards Barrow when his silver Peugeot 406 left the road and rolled.
The vehicle eventually came to a stop on its side in a crumpled heap amidst some bushes bordering the road.
Two fire engines attended the crash site expecting to have to free the man, but he was able to get himself clear of the wreckage.
Paramedics assessed him at the scene before taking him to Furness General Hospital for treatment for what is believed to be only a relatively minor injury.
The car, which is expected to be a write-off, was removed from the bushes and taken away by a recovery truck at around 10pm.

Have your say
I often travel this road to visit in laws and the amount of people who are to impatient and overtake is unreal, yes its a bad road, yes its muddy, but the speed has to be taken into consideration too. If people took into consideration all these factors then probably accidents would be less and less casualties and fatalities.
After nearly losing my son on the same road a few years ago and he ended up on ICU and being on life support i would say this lad has got away lightly although the hospital thought my son was ok for a few days until they found he had internal injuries and was getting worse ended up in major op and ventilator ..Just hope they haven't missed anything with this guy.

- Pedro
- 25 December
- 6 May (Mercedarians)
- formerly 28 January (from 1969 to 2001)
- formerly 31 January (prior to 1969)
Born to the French nobility. Grew up a pious youth. His father died when Peter was fifteen, and he inherited a substantial fortune. When he came of age, he gave away his possessions and moved to Barcelona, Spain to avoid the Albigensian heretics. He later took part in the Crusades against the Albigensians in southern France. Tutor to King James I of Aragon. Settled in Barcelona. Friend of Saint Raymond Penyafort. He used his large inheritance to ransom Christians held prisoner by the Moors. Founded the Order of Our Lady of Mercy (Mercedarians) beginning in 1218, an order devoted to ransoming Christians; the Order received papal approval in 1230. Peter twice served as a captive in Africa, winning the release of over 400 captives. In 1249, Peter retired from the Order to spend his remaining days in quiet prayer.

Already got it. Hard Run in about 4 hours. Curiously I had some troubles beating Flame Face and breezed past Jaguar Javier and Carlos Calaca. It's a very fun game to Platinum.
Yeah, that was easily the biggest pain in the ass.
If I did go back and Platinum this game, would be the first game I did so I believe.

Audie Award Finalist, Science Fiction, 2014
In Extinction Machine, the fifth Joe Ledger book by Jonathan Maberry, the DMS must go up against someone - or something - in search of new technology that could bring about world war.
The president of the United States vanishes from the White House. A top-secret prototype stealth fighter is destroyed during a test flight. Witnesses on the ground say that it was shot down by a craft that immediately vanished at impossible speeds. All over the world, reports of UFOs are increasing at an alarming rate. And in a remote fossil dig in China dinosaur hunters have found something that is definitely not of this earth. There are rumors of alien-human hybrids living among us.
Joe Ledger and the Department of Military Sciences rush headlong into the heat of the world's strangest and deadliest arms race, because the global race to recover and retro-engineer alien technologies has just hit a snag. Someone - or something - wants that technology back.

"Another Amazing Entry in the Series"
Yes, but only after I'd made them listen to all the other books in the series.
Well, I admit to loving Joe the most, but Ghost is a close second. And Bunny. And Top. And Mr. Church.And Bug.....Maybe I should just confess that I love all the good guys and the bad guys get what they deserve.
I've said it before and I will say it again. RAY PORTER IS AN AUDIO GOD. Seriously. The expressiveness in his voice (he never, ever reads you the story. He tells you the story) is amazing, but his range of voices is not of this world. How on Earth can the voices of Mr. Church and Top Sims come out of the same person? And he is one of the few guys who can make a female voice sound authentic.
Fingers. That is all I am going to say.
Can you tell I'm an out and out fangirl? This series just gets better and better. WIth any luck, Mr. Maberry is chained to a desk somewhere working on the next installment.
There are few things better than a good story well told!
"Go for Maberry…Need More Please!"
Frankly it's a tie between a fantastically good story and superb narration. Mr. Maberry is very good at taking the unbelievable and making it not only completely plausible but he makes you look at it from a wholly new prospective. Yes, the story is about alien visitation but it has nothing to do with little green men or space lizards that come to conquer. It will make you think, worry and wonder while enjoying a rousing thriller. (Heavy sigh) now the wait until the next installment.
Ray Porter is why audiobooks rock. He takes the character of Joe Ledger and the series to another level.
"Extinction Just Can't Happen to Ledger!"
I'm willing to toss my spare change into any hat that is passed to keep this guy writing! These are the only books I read of this kind, but, I don't care what genre of books you usually prefer, Maberry's Ledger series is lightning paced entertainment that is a crazy fun. I look forward to Joe Ledger's smart-a$$ mouth and wicked sense of humor like a kid looks forward to a trip to Disneyland. It's not easy to find an author that can take you to the brink of crazy and not let you tumble over, but Maberry does it consistently with his team of Joe, Bunny, Deacon, Ghost, and the boys, every time. This time out, someone kidnapped the President, and the DMS is after the Men in Black and UFO's (not so much aliens). This wasn't my favorite in the Ledger series or my favorite bunch of villains, but I still had a great time. I think some of the dialogue and comments from Joe were the best yet--he had me laughing out loud.
If new to the Ledger books--you can pick any of them up and start reading since each book is its own adventure (although there are a few comments that refer back to other books). There's language, some rough and tumble, and a little sex--but it's behind closed doors. Possibly you read Maberry's review right here on Audible for Assassin's Code (well, it had his picture and name); he said it...*Ray Porter IS the voice of Joe Ledger*. I didn't think Porter could get any better, but he is so convincing this time around that I'm beginning to wonder whether it's Porter as Ledger, or Ledger as Porter. There's Halloween, Christmas, Easter, the 4th of July, and New Ledger book time!
"Another great Joe Ledger story"
Really enjoyed this latest edition to the series. A little different from the prior books. A little less action, replaced by more suspense. More depth to some of the characters. Can't wait for the next book.
The reading for Ray really brings Joe Ledger and crew to life. Can't imagine any other voices doing these characters.
Would make a great movie series or even a good TV show if done right (Fringe quality).
"OK finally a Joe Ledger fan!"
No. I don't listen to books again, if I can avoid it. I may forget what I listened to 10 years from now, but that is my issue.
Absolutely. Just grabbed one now. A new favourite series! Ledger and his supporting cast are wonderful
The scenes with the "enemy" are damn fine, funny and worth the credit alone.
Joe Ledger: Ensure he is on YOUR side!
Ray Porter as Ledger is amazing. Once again I must note that the core Audible performers ( think Brick, et al ) are getting so good, and Porter deserves to be considered in this group.
Highly recommended.
Considering that I have a reading disorder, the Audible compamy has quenched a great day of time with Audible as my greatest personal fre
"An amazing piece of Artistry in the written word"
Mr. Maberry had me hooked on this series all the way.
This last(?) installment of the Joe Ledger series was funny, believable, unbelievable, and vivid in the minds eye.
When I stated "unbelievable I meant it literally, and yet the author (and Amazing Narrator Mr. Porter) were able to spin it into an actual masterpiece of a novel. I wish to say so much but being a "spoiler" is not my game. Even though my analytic side of my brain was yelling"; This Is Stupid" the creative side of my mind trumped it with the excitement.
This book has 70%+ of narrative dialogue that easily destroys many Authors published works. (Even Mr. King has killed good books this way) This is a novel that keeps you listening to every, self absorbed and arrogant moment of Joe Ledger. His descriptive and essential character building, and dialogues are essential to this book. It just "Makes" you keep listening and waiting in anticipation. I only recall a few books that can get away with this and they are usually Award Winning Documentaries that Narrative and descriptive writing is the basis of the book. (A couple of these are "Outlaw Platoon", by Parnell and "The Outpost", By Tapper)
Please, I urge anyone who has an open mind and enjoys Thrillers, buy this series. Yes the whole series. You won't be disappointed.
5 stars is i love and i will read agani and again. 1 is i hate and i never want to hear about it ever again. YES = :))) - NO= :'(
"Joe Ledger is Damn Good!!"
This book was awesome, liked it more than the previous book. I really wanna explain here why i liked this book. But the smallest slip and you will press "No" down below so i'll be careful.
This book started good, i mean really really good. Then it was really fun, then again damn good. This how was the book the whole way through it, I either laughed from a joke, or was intensely focused on what was going on.
New characters come to play in this bok. and major action is going through the whole thing.. i really can't explain more other than if you didn't ready this series yet, so grap the first book and all of them and read them NOW!!!
What do you want me to say more? Narration was good? Author is good???? YOU KNOW THAT ALREADY!!! A great series
"Where does Maberry come up with all this stuff?!!!"
The sheer imagination!!! Yes, you've read books about aliens, and books about spies and secret government agencies, and books where the bad guys are really, really bad and the good guys are really, really good...but the way Maberry combines all these things makes all his Joe Ledger novels an absolute joy ride. You'll gasp. You'll laugh. (You might even cringe a little when Joe acts a little too macho even for Joe.) But you will not be able to put the book down. Download. And enjoy.
"Guilty Pleasure!"
Yes, this is one of those books where the narrator adds a little something extra. Ray Porter knows Joe Ledger and listeners reap the benefits!
The narrator's take on Joe Ledger is exemplary. The sarcasm, the anger, the wit. Fabulous!
I tell my husband that Joe Ledger books are "guy books". There's blood, gore, violence, stereotypical or idealized female characters and loads of sci-fi. And I LOVE it!
This book brings the series back on track from the strangeness that was the Seven Kings. It focuses on aliens, alien technology and alien abductions with a little apocalypse thrown in.
It moves faster than others in the series but still has some of the information dump syndrome that plagues previous Ledger novels. I dislike how Jonathan Maberry adds information that appears irrelevant or overly detailed upon closer examination. The "Joe" parts of the book move the fastest, as usual, and the book itself is an excellent thriller. It's worth the credit!
"Wow! Next to the first one..."
...this is the best one yet. The first one hooked me big time; one of the best books I've listened to. This one is great too. I couldn't put it down. Can't wait for the next one! Anybody have a line on when that will be?
"Great escapism without being over the top."
This is a very well written & formulated story, I can't wait to read more from this author.

An energy simulation program whose modular system approach makes it one of the most flexible tools available. TRNSYS (TRaNsient SYstem Simulation Program) includes a graphical interface, a simulation engine, and a library of components that range from various building models to standard HVAC equipment to renewable energy and emerging technologies. TRNSYS also includes a method for creating new components that do not exist in the standard package. This simulation package has been used for more than 30 years for HVAC analysis and sizing, multizone airflow analyses, electric power simulation, solar design, building thermal performance, analysis of control schemes, etc. Screen Shots
energy simulation, load calculation, building performance, simulation, research, energy performance, renewable energy, emerging technology
TRNSYS is primarily an equation solving program based on standard numerical techniques. However, validation does become important for the individual components in TRNSYS. See the TRNSYS web site for validation articles related to TRNSYS or its components.
Expertise Required
None to use standard package; FORTRAN knowledge helpful for developing new components.
Over 500.
Engineers, researchers, consulting firms, architects.
The TRNSYS input file, including building input description, characteristics of system components, manner in which components are interconnected, and separate weather data (supplied with program) are all ASCII files. All input files can be generated with a graphical user interface known as Simulation Studio. The envelope for the TRNSYS building can now be three-dimensionally created in the TRNSYS3D plugin for Google SketchUp™ and edited in the TRNBuild interface.
Basic output format is ASCII. The data included in those files can be life cycle costs; monthly summaries; annual results; histograms; plotting of desired variables (by time unit). It is also possible toplot variables online (as the simulation progresses).
Computer Platform
Windows 98 or higher (NT, 2000, ME, XP, Vista, Windows 7, etc.) for TRNSYS interface programs. (Distributed source code will compile and run on any Fortran platform.)
Programming Language
FORTRAN (although unnecessary for standard or add-on components). Components can also be written in C++.
Due to its modular approach, TRNSYS is extremely flexible for modeling a variety of energy systems in differing levels of complexity. Supplied source code and documentation provide an easy method for users to modify or add components not in the standard library; extensive documentation on component routines, including explanation, background, typical uses and governing equations; supplied time step, starting and stopping times allowing choice of modeling periods. The TRNSYS program includes a graphical interface to drag-and-drop components for creating input files (Simulation Studio), a utility for easily creating a building input file (TRNBuild), and a program for building TRNSYS-based applications for distribution to non-users (TRNEdit). Web-based library of additional components and frequent downloadable updates are also available to users. Extensive libraries of non standard components for TRNSYS are available commercially from TRNSYS distributors. TRNSYS also interfaces with various other simulation packages such as COMIS, CONTAM, EES, Excel, FLUENT, GenOpt and MATLAB.
No assumptions about the building or system are made (although default information is provided) so the user must have detailed information about the building and system and enter this information into the TRNSYS interface.
