Considering that a torque converter doesn't actually convert torque, it's no wonder it's such a misunderstood component. After all, any device that has "converter" as part of its name should transform-or convert-whatever is input into something different and present it for output.
In reality, the "conversion" that goes on inside a torque converter is torque multiplication. As opposed to a fluid coupling, which is a simple power-transfer device, a torque converter is, under certain operating conditions, a power-enhancing device. Although the mechanics of the power increase are a bit esoteric, the effect is similar to that of a gearset. If a small gear drives a larger one, torque is multiplied at the expense of output speed. Like a fluid coupling, a torque converter has an impeller (which is driven by the engine) and a turbine (which transfers power to the transmission). But it also has a stator between the two parts, which performs much the same function as a small gear driving a larger one. However, the stator uses fluid redirection, rather than direct contact, to increase the torque applied to the turbine, which is positioned outside the converter.
Nothing is free in the land of power transfer, and inside a torque converter, slippage is "currency" for torque multiplication. Within limits, paying more slippage dollars buys more torque multiplication. But the payback for increased spending isn't always improved performance. If slippage is excessive relative to engine capabilities and requirements, torque increases at one end of the rpm spectrum will not offset slippage losses at the other.
Consequently, the process of choosing the proper torque converter for a particular Corvette requires more than a waltz through a catalog. This is especially true with multipurpose vehicles that will make excursions down a dragstrip or around an autocross course, then be required to complete daily driving chores as well.
This point is clearly demonstrated by the dragstrip results of a recent project. When purchased, our test car had a "high-performance" street/strip torque converter of unknown origin. Although it seemed to offer acceptable performance during normal driving, it slipped excessively during wide-open-throttle "drag racing" acceleration. In fact, slippage was so great, it was difficult to determine the rpm at which the engine finally ran out of breath at the end of the track.
When we asked Greg Friend and Kevin Winstead of TCI Automotive to recommend a replacement torque converter, they could make only an educated guess because we could not supply enough accurate information. After reviewing the alleged engine and driveline specifications provided by the vehicle's previous owner, Friend and Winstead recommended a 10-inch Super Street Fighter converter.
During the brief checkout drive following installation, it was apparent the Super Street Fighter was delivering considerably more torque, while slipping much less than the previously installed converter. So, with a pair of Mickey Thompson ET Street DOT race tires mounted on the rear, we headed to Silver Dollar Raceway in Reynolds, Georgia, for a full dragstrip test session.
With the Super Street Fighter in place, the car left the starting line noticeably harder than it had previously, and the best run of the day stopped the clocks with a quarter-mile elapsed time of 12.872 seconds and a trap speed of 103.73 mph. The timeslip also showed a 1.772-second 60-foot time and an 8.151-second eighth-mile e.t. at 83.63 mph. Considering the previous quarter-mile performance, the improvement was impressive. But trap speed was much lower than it should have been.

World's First Bouquet Camera
A San Diego based couple came up with a creative way to capture how the bride experienced the wedding day by hiding a camera inside her bouquet. The couple was able to get unique shots like how the guests reacted during the ceremony, as well as get a close up perspective of the couple at the altar while the maid-of-honor held the bouquet for the bride.
To pull it off the couple used a white GoPro HD Hero 2, which was tucked amongst the flowers, and the couple said guests hardly noticed the button sized lens.
This may be the world's first bouquet camera, but it seems like such a cool idea that it's bound to catch on!

SLU Surgeon Named Honorary Visiting Professor in Beijing
Abdulrauf Teaches Chinese Neurosurgeons about High-Blood Flow Brain Bypass
On a recent trip to China to teach surgeons about the procedure he created, SLU chair of neurosurgery, Saleem Abdulrauf, M.D, was recognized as honorary visiting professor at the flagship Beijing neurosurgery center.
|Saleem Abdulrauf, M.D. lectures in China.
The Neurosurgery Center of Beijing Tiantan Hospital is a large facility dedicated to complex problems. With 110 neurosurgeons, the hospital serves all of China, performing 9403 surgeries in 2010 alone.
"In China, if you have a complex problem, this is where you go," Abdulrauf said. "The Chinese do an impressive job. They've really invested in this new hospital, with every technology you can imagine."
While in China, Abdulrauf made rounds and spoke to 400 neurosurgeons about the high-flow brain bypass technique he developed. Used for complex aneurysms and tumors deep in the base of the skull, the advanced procedure means improved outcomes for patients. His technique is less invasive and keeps more blood flowing in the brain than previous surgeries.
Following Abdulrauf's visit, China plans to send senior surgeons to Saint Louis University to spend several months training with him. After they return home, Abulrauf will visit again to assist the first time the procedure is performed in China.
"Saint Louis University has a strong international presence when it comes to neurosurgery," Abdulrauf said. "As a center for international referrals, we see the difficult cases that can't be treated elsewhere. As such, we're committed to sharing our medical expertise. We train and teach young neurosurgeons from around the globe.
"Teaching surgeons is doubly rewarding," Abdulrauf said. "It's a special thing to think of the lives you save that you never meet."
Read more about the brain bypass procedure developed by Abdulrauf here.
Established in 1836, Saint Louis University School of Medicine has the distinction of awarding the first medical degree west of the Mississippi River. The school educates physicians and biomedical scientists, conducts medical research, and provides health care on a local, national and international level. Research at the school seeks new cures and treatments in five key areas: cancer, liver disease, heart/lung disease, aging and brain disease, and infectious disease.

This Standard Luggage Tag is our take on the classic bag ID tag. A simply accessory, yes - but it's one that everyone needs to have, whether you're a frequent traveler or just do the standard family vacation once a year. Boasting a rectangular design with nickel hardware, our Standard Luggage Tag comes with an ID card for labeling and can also accommodate a business card. An adjustable strap with buckle at one end lets you easily fit it to your bag, while the colors make it easy to spot your bag in the sea of others on the carousel. Don't let your bag get picked up by someone else on accident. Use our Standard Luggage Tag and you'll always be able to spot it as soon as it comes out of the chute!
Our Classico leather collection is a semi-aniline, drum dyed pebbled leather. It offers a little extra color and character, making it a good choice when you want your accessories to stand out. This full grain leather has a soft hand feel with intricate lines, giving it a distinct look from our smoother leathers like Vero and Zita. It comes in a wide variety of colors that you won't find in our other collections and has a polished finish to make them really shine. Its unique appearance and range of colors make it ideal for matching with purses, belts, or other leather items you own.
Product exactly as described and SUPER fast shipping. Looks great!
I was excited to receive this luggage tag which arrived promptly and nicely packaged. It is a fun color and really dresses up my dark grey suitcase. Size was a little larger than I expected but it's easy to spot when it comes off the luggage rack. Good quality as well.
Expensive, but she liked it.
My fiance and I ordered one of these for each member of our bridal party, since they all will have to travel to get to our wedding. I was so impressed when they arrived; they come in a beautiful bronze gift box with a velvety ribbon around it. Inside the actual tag is wrapped in a sheet of soft leather. The presentation was perfect for a gift, and the tags themselves were equally beautiful. They are big enough to hold a business card and appear to be sturdy. The edges are stitched up with a leather binding, so I expect that they will wear well. Overall, I could not have been happier with them!
Good. Thanks. Dave
They are gorgeous and arrived in a
beautiful box. They also came very
quickly and I would definitely recommend.
The product was as I expected...PERFECT. Packaging was exquisite.
I bought 2 standard luggage tags in the dark lime. What can I say, the quality is excellent and you can't beat the price anywhere. I highly recommend and now I am looking at purchasing a different accessory from Leatherology now that I see what kind of quality they provide.
These are really cool Leather Luggage Tags for a reasonable price. The fact that they come in a wide variety of colors is fabulous. Prompt Shipping!!
The quality of this luggage tag is unbelievable. Packaging was first rate and the delivery time very fast. I slide my frequent flyer luggage tag inside the leather one because the straps supplied from the airline to hold the frequent flyer luggage tags are so flimsy. I'll be back for more products!
Got these to coordinate with the Travel Document Holder. Beautiful leather and monogramming. A wonderful gift!
Whether you are treating yourself or giving a gift to someone else, we want you to have an amazing and memorable experience. All items will be shipped using our signature gift packaging. Depending on the type and size, your item(s) will come wrapped in our signature microsuede sleeve, drawstring bag or soft velour bag (each with black tie accents), and be packaged inside a high-density bronze gift box. You will also have the opportunity to add a personalized gift note when you place your order.
All of this extra attention to detail is complimentary.

Pretty Little Liars
Pretty Little Liars Burning Question: Who Should Be Aria's Valentine?
Unlike any of the other Pretty Little Liars, Aria (Lucy Hale) has been into the same guy since day one. Ezra (Ian Harding) is sweet, but maybe it's time for change? Let's talk a look at Aria's Valentine's Day options.
Ok. There's a reason Ezra has been around since day one: he's sweet, gorgeous, and totally devoted to Aria...That is until he found out about his son. Now, Ezra wouldn't be the guy we all know and love if he didn't change his life to be there for his child, but the question remains: Where will Ezria rank now that Ezra Jr. is in the picture? We're not saying Aria can't handle spending some time as #2, but the girl is still in high school. We know she's mature for her age, but that doesn't mean she should have to deal with play dates on Valentine's Day.
Team Wes!
Ezra's baby brother, Wesley (Greg Sulkin), has been spending more time with Aria since Ezra's son came into the picture. Wes is like an Ezra 2.0 - with all of the same features of his older brother, but closer to Aria's age and with none (fine...less) of the baggage. On the other hand, Wes is currently staying at Ezra's apartment, and nothing kills the mood like having the big brother/ex-boyfriend come in to find you're using his candles for your romantic candlelit dinner.
We already know Aria has a thing for older men, and Aria and Jason (Drew Van Acker) shared a certain chemistry in Season 2. These two haven't gotten much alone time since they shared a kiss in Season 2, Episode 9: "Picture This" that Aria eventually stopped because she was still involved with Ezra at the time. Now that things are a bit rockier in Ezria Land, could the timing finally be right for...Arson? Besides their terrible couple name, there is the complication that Jason is Spencer's (Troian Bellisario) half-brother, which could make things awkward, and the fact that we're still not entirely sure Jason didn't have something to do with Ali's death...but if that kept people off of the Valentine List, then the Liars wouldn't be able to date anyone!
Anyone remember Holden (Shane Coffey)? Yeah, he hasn't gotten much play since Season 2, but way back then he went above and beyond as Aria's beard so she could date Ezra. Sure, he got something out of it, too (he was able to practice martial arts against his parents' wishes) but convincing Aria's parents that she and Holden were actually dating always seemed like more of headache than convincing Holden's.
Holden would make make an excellent Valentine option for Aria based on his martial arts training alone. He's already employed them to save Aria once and given her recent bad luck on holidays (she almost died on Halloween), Aria needs all of the help she can get. On the other hand, Holden does have a heart condition and dating one of the Liars is not for the faint-hearted. For Holden's sake, maybe it's best if he and Aria just stay friends.
It's common knowledge that Spencer is a mess right now. We recently theorized that it might be best for Spencer if she spent Valentine's Day alone this year, but, on second thought, maybe Spence should have some supervision? We can think of no one better for the job than BFF Aria. We think Spencer and Aria would make excellent Valentine's Day dates for one another. They could watch black-and-white films, eat organic popcorn, and discuss the merits of the classic Hollywood era.
Who do you think Aria should spend her Valentine's Day with? Post in the comments below!
Catch the next episode of Pretty Little Liars on Tuesday, February 12, 2013 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on ABC Family.

I'd love a golden repaint of Vikor's axe for Teela to wield, while on the subject.

Vykron & Vikor because they are new(old) and awesomely realized.
And Battle Armour He-Man, because he's He-Man, and my He-Man is always armed with a sword, not an axe, and my Battle Armour He-Man is always armed with the Axe, not the sword, so he's my Axe He Man.
I always loved Ramman's axe, because it was unique, and I love Snout Spout, and his axe is dead cool.
but my top three are my top three.

I play with insides of space ships. But, I still don't get to camp at work. I'd love to go someday. The good thing is that this program has been around for years...so it is likely that I may get to go when my kids get older.
If my work was something close to this video I wouldn't go home. That's just too much fun to miss.
- Jul 19, 2007, 3:18:00 AM
Thanks for the info!! I called for my son (he was watching Ben 10 at the time) and he won the Eagle Command Center and another prize!!! What was cool is that they really didn't tell me he had won (they wanted to speak to my son and then informed him he had won, then to hand the phone over to me to get the shipping address and phone number). They also informed me my son was entered into the Grand Prize drawing on Monday!!! Thanks a bunch and I'm keeping my fingers crossed for the Space Camp trip!!! LEGO ROCKS!!
- Aug 12, 2007, 11:05:00 AM
WOW!!! My son, Danny won 2nd place in the Cartoon Network Contest! We were told he would be entered in the Space Camp drawing. He is so excited! He ordered a Space Suit last year from Nasa and wears it all the time. He even had it on when he was told that he had won tonight. His dream is to be an astronaut. His hero is Jim Lovell Commander of Apollo 13. He dressed as Jim Lovell in a makeshift astronaut suit and told about Jim Lovell and Apollo 13 in a classroom report when he was in the second grade and after the report sent a picture of himself dressed as Commander Lovell and sent it to him via email and Commander Lovell actually replied personally to his email. He can't wait to receive the Lego's. He's had plenty of Lego's but his favorite Lego sets were the ones he purchased at Disney when we vacationed there to ride Mission to Mars on the 3rd day of it's opening. His Grandfather is involved in Nasa's JPL and shares alot of interest and enthusiam with him about the space program. He has many commerative NASA pins and patches, space DVD's and photos. LEGO your the BEST for promoting this wonderful event!!!

Wow, I'm glad to hear some news of possible Space Camp trip winners. My wife saw the number and tried without success. However, our children are too young anyway.
Please, report back here if anyone does get a winning trip! ...and then send me any pictures you could allow me to post.
- Aug 13, 2007, 2:55:00 AM
Can someone post the number? We lost the sheet we wrote it down on, and now my son is furious with me for not letting him call right away. Thanks!

Emailed em asking if they had a tracking no. and this is what they sent me:
Hopefully they do it and honor their promise, as I needed the same sizes GRT046 got....
Re: Cheap Jerseys
Has anyone tried custom cycling gear from Escape Cycling ?
I saw an advert which advertised custom printed cycling tops as low as $36.

Nobody looks back on their life....and remembers the nights they got plenty of sleep !!
Re: Cheap Jerseys
Once again I have to recommend Prendas!!
Genuine Santini jerseys ( superior to the cheapies that I have in every way ) from $25 + delivery depending on sizing.
eg- http://www.prendas.co.uk/details.asp?ty ... =2&ID=2813
I ordered a TDU Jayco sprinters jersey from them about a month ago, used it on a few decent rides and its very nice. $31 too
Re: Cheap Jerseys
Wow... Mine arrived today and a nice piece of kit it is. Sizing guide online seems very accurate except for the body weight estimate.
Review to come after I've worn it!
Re: Cheap Jerseys
That is a nice jersey. Two more centimeters off the waist and I will be rewarding myself with a couple of jerseys from Pendas.
Re: Cheap Jerseys
Just wondering how you went with the Rock Lobster, particularly in summer.
Re: Cheap Jerseys
Took a punt on some 'Rapha' jersey/bib shorts from Mupi, will report once arrived.
Re: Cheap Jerseys
I'd like to see Rapha do a knock off Chinese jersey, i.e. Rapha quality, but slightly off printing and a bit of subtle Chinglish. The type of thing that people would look at and say Say What?

Had a full custom jersey x2 made up by Mupi, was $80 delivered which is pretty darn cheap. Haven't worn them yet tho so can't comment on quality.
Re: Cheap Jerseys
Got these two for $60 shipped, arrived in a week. Nalini Gerolsteiner and a Descente CSC
Re: Cheap Jerseys
I ordered a second set from Mupi because i stuffed the order, ordered a L set of bib shorts instead XL. So i reordered another set, this time a L jersey and XL bib shorts. This way i can sell a L/L set and keep the XL/XL set for me.
In true fashion, quick reply and quick postage.
Ordered/paid - 7/3
Arrived - 15/3
Will give it a 70km run this sunday =)
Re: Cheap Jerseys
Love all this ordering - someone going to go for a ride with their gear on?

Re: Cheap Jerseys
My initial review of the Rapha Jersey and Bib shorts from Mupicycling after a 70km charity run today.
Material looks and feels a little more polyester compared to some of my other jerseys and bibs, ie Nalini, Descente and Pearl Izumi.
Bib shorts fit well, chamois in the right position imo. Not too far forward, not to far back. As others have mentioned, it is a little thicker, but not as dense as my pearl izumi's. Also noticed not alot of padding in the 'centre' of the chamois.
As others have mentioned, legs do cut in a little into the thighs, nothing major, noticeble a tiny bit, but you forget about it soon enough.
I feel the jersey dosnt breathe as well because of the extra polyester, compared to my other jerseys. Might be good on cooler days cos you dont feel the wind straight through, but warmer for warmer days though.
I find sizing runs true as per the size guide.
I hand cold washed them after my ride and did experience a little colour running, again nothing major, just a few lines and patches, mainly on the inside, not the outside so not noticble
Initial veridct, i think it represents good bang for buck, specially for noobs such as myself who cant justify spending big money on full kit, yet
The real test will be longevity and wear, but for the price, you could buy a few different pairs and spread the wear and tear. Kinda hard to say no if your looking for kit.
Re: Cheap Jerseys
I'm after some feedback on the sizing of mupi bib longs if anyone has tried them. I am 184cm and 83kgs and was leading to a large even though the weight they list in their sizing chart is alot less than mine. Their site also advises to order one size bigger than normal. The length for size L seems about right
Re: Cheap Jerseys
I bought one of this in white (Fluid Pro). Very plain but I like it so I bought another one online. Delivery was less than $7.
They have it on black or white. Nice material.
The one that are selling online for $20 (down from $85) is actually nicer than the more expensive ones at the their shops.
Re: Cheap Jerseys
My kit has arrived (finally). Here are some pictures. I will put up a review in the appropriate section of the forum too.
Black bibs to save embarrasment
Back of the jersey, showing the well upscaled logo
Close up of the printed logo (which I admit is tacky, but it is from a 30 year old business). Looks well printed to me.
Should note that the logo turned out well considering all I had on hand was a "low res" (850px wide) picture so kudos for MUPI for making it nice and clean. The text was also a huge jpg I made because I didn't like their texts.
A basic first fit verdict. It fits amazingly well, their sizing guide which says you need to go up one size to what you would ordinarily wear for cycling is spot on. The only issue so far from wearing is the chamois padding feels huge like some have mentioned but that will likely be fine when riding. First real test is tomorrow.

Re: Cheap Jerseys
How long from when you ordered till it arrived?
Got bored of my signature
Re: Cheap Jerseys
If I recall, I started the order on 10/02/2012, so almost two months ago (Chinese New Year too, which I guess explains the next bit...)
The "support ticket" was finalised and they processed the order on the 24/02/2012. The delay was due to me asking for them to change the size of the bib knicks since the knicks and shirt are different sizes. They also had a few days to check over the design and modify it if necessary.
Shipping commenced on the 27/03/2012 and shipped via Intl. China Mail which was the cheapest option and probably least advisable (even they say so). So the shipping was quick and the manufacturing process a bit longer than the quoted 14 days.
Like I mentioned, I will do a proper review in a rather large write up, get some better photos and hopefully summarise whether or not this is a good deal or right for someone.
Also, I would like to thank Dart (who was their representative on this forum last time they did a give away) for helping me through with the ticket. The service was good and I'm happy so far. Just waiting for some daylight to try it out in.

Re: Cheap Jerseys
As an update, used the kit for two days now on about 70km of riding in warm weather. It gets the nod of approval I felt comfortable in the kit. There are some things that could be better but overall did the job well and I'll mention a bit more soon.

A storm is any disturbed state of an astronomical body's atmosphere, especially affecting its surface, and strongly implying severe weather. It may be marked by strong wind, thunder and lightning (a thunderstorm), heavy precipitation, such as ice (ice storm), or wind transporting some substance through the atmosphere (as in a dust storm, snowstorm, hailstorm, etc).
Storms are created when a center of low pressure develops, with a system of high pressure surrounding it. This combination of opposing forces can create winds and result in the formation of storm clouds, such as the cumulonimbus. Small, localized areas of low pressure can form from hot air rising off hot ground, resulting in smaller disturbances such as dust devils and whirlwinds.
There are many varieties and names for storms.
A strict meteorological definition of a terrestrial storm is a wind measuring 10 or higher on the Beaufort scale, meaning a wind speed of 24.5 m/s (89 km/h, 55 mph) or more; however, popular usage is not so restrictive. Storms can last anywhere from 12 to 200 hours, depending on season and geography. The east and northeast storms are noted for the most frequent repeatability and duration, especially during the cold period. Big terrestrial storms alter the oceanographic conditions that in turn may affect food abundance and distribution: strong currents, strong tides, increased siltation, change in water temperatures, overturn in the water column, etc.
Storms are not unique to Earth; other planetary bodies with a sufficient atmosphere (gas giants in particular) also undergo stormy weather. A famous example is the Great Red Spot on Jupiter. Though technically a hurricane, it is larger than the earth and has been raging for at least 340 years, when it was observed by astronomer Galileo Galilei. Neptune also had its own lesser known Great Dark Spot.
In September 1994 Hubble telescope using Wide Field Planetary Camera 2 imaged the storms on Saturn, generated by upwelling of warmer air, similar to a terrestrial thunderhead. The east-west extent of the same-year storm was equal to the diameter of Earth. The storm was observed earlier in September 1990 and acquired the name Dragon Storm.
According to the Bible, a giant storm sent by God flooded the Earth. Noah and his family and the animals entered the Ark, and "the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened, and the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights." The flood covered even the highest mountains to a depth of more than twenty feet, and all creatures died; only Noah and those with him on the Ark were left alive.
In Greek mythology there were several gods of storms: Briareos, the god of sea storms; Aigaios, a god of the violent sea storms; and Aiolos, keeper of storm-winds, squalls and tempests.
William Shakespeare's play The Tempest (1611) was based on the following incident. Sir Thomas Gates, future governor of Virginia, was on his way to England from Jamestown, Virginia. On Saint James Day while between Cuba and the Bahamas a hurricane raged for nearly two days. Though one of the small vessels in the fleet sank to the bottom of the Florida Straits, seven of the remaining vessels reached Virginia within several days after the storm. The flagship of the fleet, known as Sea Adventure, disappeared and was presumed lost. A small bit of fortune befell the ship and her crew when they made landfall on Bermuda. The vessel was damaged on a surrounding coral reef, but all aboard survived for nearly a year on the island. The British colonists claimed the island and quickly settled Bermuda. In May 1610, they set forth for Jamestown, this time arriving at their destination.
The Romantic seascape painters J. M. W. Turner and Ivan Aivazovsky created some of the most lasting impressions of the sublime and stormy seas that are firmly imprinted on the popular mind. Turner's representations of powerful natural forces reinvented the traditional seascape during the first half of the nineteenth century. Upon his travels to Holland, he took note of the familiar large rolling waves of the English seashore transforming into the sharper, choppy waves of a Dutch storm. A characteristic example of Turner's dramatic seascape is The Slave Ship of 1840. Aivazovsky left several thousand turbulent canvases in which he increasingly eliminated human figures and historical background to focus on such essential elements as light, sea, and sky. His grandiose Ninth Wave (1850) is an ode to human daring in the face of the elements.
Storms were also portrayed in several works of music. Examples are Beethoven's Pastoral Symphony (the fourth movement), Presto of the violin concerto RV 315 (Summer) from the Four Seasons by Vivaldi, and a scene in Act II of Rossini's opera The Barber of Seville.

Bridesmaid "Ground Rules" Letter Leaked (Bridezilla-Alert!)
To all bridesmaids out there, know your rights! An email leaked by Gawker from a bride-to-be detailed her outlandish expectations of her bridesmaids during the months leading up to her August 13 wedding in Vail, Colorado. Her email listed her "ground rules" to consider before accepting the "honor" of being in the wedding party.
After reading some of her expectations, below, we couldn't help but wonder who is going to agree to be this woman's bridesmaid, let alone, friend.
Your Life Is No Longer Your Own
"I would like everyone to send me any dates they are going away or planning to go away… from February to the day of our wedding in August, that way we know not to plan something when your away."
Money Can't Be an Issue
"If money is tight and you cant afford to contribute to say the bachelorette party or wont be able to afford a dress etc then L— and Myself don't have time to deal with that, I'm sorry."
Dress to Impress ($$$)
"…if you think by affordable its going to be a $25 forever 21 dress then your going to the wrong wedding."
Be Chained to Your Phone
"I'm not going to harass you with wedding stuff every hour of everyday but if its something important and it takes you a week even 2-3 days to get back to me seeeee ya!"
It's All or Nothing
"If you don't think you'll be able to attend one party but can make the rest of them I'm sorry but I'll have to take you out as a bridesmaid and put you as a guest."
And if you're not sold yet that this will be the most fun wedding you could ever have the honor of attending, then just listen to the bride's closing statement: "This is really going to be the most epic wedding ever so I hope you girls can share this special day with us!"
Our advice: Pass!

For almost half a century, the Corvette has inspired legions of enthusiasts and admirers with its sinuous lines and aura of raw performance. The spirit and passion that these cars stir is consistent through each generation, yet every era has a distinct flavor. Inevitably, Corvette fans tend to be attracted towards one of these "flavors" more than the others.
Dan Spindler of House Springs, Missouri, is drawn to the early Sharks. "I've always liked the body style of Corvettes," Dan says, "especially the curves of the third-gen cars. I think that 1968 was among the best because of their chrome bumpers and gills." That's why, when he was 18 years old and barely out of high school, Dan took on a second job just to buy a '68 Vette. It was a good-looking (superficially, at least), no-options 327/four-speed coupe. That was in 1984, and he's been working on and playing with it ever since.
After buying the '68, Dan began to realize that it wasn't nearly as solid a car as he had first thought, but he had no regrets about his decision. The road Dan traveled as he repaired and modified the Shark was long and slow, but he moved ahead whenever time and money allowed. Around 1995, Dan took a big leap and rebuilt the '68 from the bare frame up. Then, a couple of years later he went back and chromed and detailed the entire undercarriage. "I love customizing my Corvette," says Dan, and the Shark was really shaping up nicely. Alas, in September of 1999, on his way to Mid America Designs in Effingham, Illinois, to buy some parts for the '68, he was involved in a wreck that took the Vette out of commission for a while. Since it was parked and needed repairs anyway, Dan decided to really make his Corvette special.
The outside of this Shark is simply incredible. Over the course of this project, Dan has not left a single spot on the car's surface untouched one way or another. He had never worked with fiberglass before, but thanks to a seemingly endless supply of patience he learned and gave his '68 a facelift. Being a tall guy, Dan couldn't afford to give up any headroom by chopping the top, so he did the next best thing. With the help of Dale Harding of Dale Harding's Auto Body in House Springs, Dan raised the deck lid, chopping and slightly angling the rear window, to give the same aggressive impression. The back glass is 5 inches shorter, but still removable! Dan sculpted a 4-inch spoiler onto the rear of the car, and grafted '70-style fender flares on to add a more muscular look. He raised the rear license plate recess by 5 inches, and created a custom roll pan and inner skirts that would provide an unobstructed view of the workmanship on the highly detailed rear suspension. He also notched 1-inch-deep recesses into the T-tops for more character, and grafted a '67 big-block "stinger" onto the '68 hood.
Dan has revised the Vette's nose slightly, adding Bow-Tie-shaped turn signals at both corners. The door handles are now made of milled aluminum, and a crossed flags logo is etched into the gas filler door. Dan chose to paint his Vette in a unique color called Candy Burple, a cross between navy blue and purple, supplied by House of Color. Dan created "ghost" crossed flags on the front fenders with a few layers of the Candy Burple and some careful masking, and then sprayed the entire car with seven coats of the stuff. The center stripe is a mix of silver with blue pearl, and even continues on the smoothed underside of the hood.

HOW SLANDER SPREADS All interesting comment on how easy il is to spreiid false reports or true is taken from the untrue statement in a Rockville (Jentre paper that at tbe fire on Main Street last inonth there was a I heavy ihiinage by water used by "over ! zeiilnus liremen." Altho they were | lolll that this was absolutely untrue, as noted in this column laat week,^ they made no elfnrt to correct the state- ' inent, which appeared ten days later, wi!id for word, in the Malvi'rnc Newa, ; printed, in the shii.e otlice, and last ; ' week in the HempsteHil Inquirer, due credit for the falsehood being given in the latter paper, to the paper from whicb it was taken. Verily "the truth can never overtake a lie once started. " but it might at least make an attempt to ilo so. SO.Mi: FIRE DEPARTMENT DIFFICULTIES During the coming year the Fire De¬ pHrtment bas several dillicult problems to handie. One of the most import¬ ant of these is the matter of transpor¬ tation of apparatus to lires. Several ^ limes hose companiea have been de- layed in answering alarms because of ; inability to get horses to convey tbe apparatus. In old times pulling by ¦ hand waa all right, when buildings were expected lo burn down anyhow, if they once got going,and much light¬ er apparatua was used than is now neceaaary. Thia has not been so seri ous. with four hose companies to answer, but the trouble has now reached the hook and ladder com- i pany, the only one in the village. Last ( Saturday morning an alarm was given for School No. 2 which Truck No. 1 I did not and could not answer, because they could not get horses lo pull the truck. Suppose there had been a fire tbere and the second floor full of chil¬ dren. The Truck Company has been fortu¬ nate in having for many years a team of horses belonging to H. C. Schluter whenever fhey wanted them, hut Mr. Schluter finds he cannot afford to take hia horaea from regular work during business hours, and has notified the coinpany that he will not take the truck out any more during the ilay time, and iast Suturday h-) felt justille 1 in refut¬ ing to take the horaea fmm theii regu¬ lar work in hia rush hours, and otht'i' neighboiing tradespeople also refuaed to allow the u?e of their horaea while busy with deliveries. Fortunately, there was no fire, but it would have been juat the same If •there had been several fires—the'Iruck cnuld not have reached ihein. The matter mi:st be taken up by the fire men and reouest made to the Viilage Board withou'. delay. When the de¬ partment mat-:. ? this request thn re¬ sponsibility is then up to the Bnard, and they can oniy pass it on be making recommendations to the people and giving them the chance to decide whether conditions ,sball be properly remedied. tars of intaraat to and about tha firaman in our local dapartmant by H.E.

THEY'RE OFF 1 Last week we noted where Sea ClifT had had no fires in nearly iwo years. Wednesdav night. March 11, thev had a fire. These new telephone slol machines may be a fine thing fnr the Company, but where yon have got to put a nickel or more in the nlot before yuu can even get Central, and the telephone in Free purl is nur only Die alarm system, peo¬ ple should go slow iibiiiil installing tbem. A nmn called out of bed for in¬ stance is not apt to stop to put change in his pocket to operate a slot macliine to send in additional alarms, recalls, liolice calls or anything else (we might include that as a part of our equipment on our apparatuj) iiinl tlu' hnuaeholder even, if awakened by " 'ire, might not find it convenient to hunt up a nickel ' to send in a fire alarm. Truck I '"as unahl(! to answer the call early Thursday morning, this time on account of bulky hor.'^es. In the last three riills this company has been held up twill' hy balky hnises and nnce by no b'ii-.-:i s arriving. At the Realty Huilding lire, when bidders were needed most, the horses held up srveral iriiii- Utt'H just outside the dniir. At the call last Saturday morning, they Uid nol leave the house, no horses being available, and Thursilay mnrning tbey were atill standing in front of the hcuse with balky li ^rses when the re¬ call blew. II is quite |iroliiible that tbe company will ciri'iihite a rail for a special election t': purclmsr a Irarlor for their apparatus, the proposition having been coiisidereii pieviniia to the tegular election but nnt being Kubmilti'd owing lo the possible jeopardizing of the Hoae I p'oiio.'-ition. The regular meeting of the Fire Council was held at the engine house Wednesday evening, with the follow¬ ing members present: ('hiefa Loon¬ am, Pearaall and Smith. Wardens Whaley of Hose 1, Starr ami White of Hose 2, Comb-, and Patrick of Hose 3, .Sumner and P'ritz nf Hose 4, (!onniir and Rice of Kngine 1 and Bo¬ liind and Niles of Truck L At tbe opening of the meeting Chief loonam said that on behalf of the peo¬ ple of Freeport, and especially the ten¬ ants of the Realty Building, he wished to thank the firemtn for the hard and I'onscienlinui work they were doing, and that he wished each foriinan pres- i'nt to so report at his next meeting. The following new members were spproved: Angele Preziosi, Hoae 1; Gilbert Thompaon, Ho.'-e '2; William Padgett, Moae 2, aubject to approval of guardian. Exemption papers were granted to Daniel (barman of Hoae 3. The reaigiiMlioii of Arthur (Jilder- sleeve from Hoi-e 3 was ajiproved. Firat Asat. Chief reported tht' re¬ ceipt of a sniall order for coats, boots, gloves, etc., and be was instructed to procure a stencil for marking the aame. The matter of bells on the front of ¦ ull houses as on Truck 1 wua diacusaed, and it ia probable that at the next nueting of thi- L'ouncil some action will be taken to aecure same. A great deal of time was given to tbe discussion of general department mutters and much good will probably accrue from some of the augi^estiuna made. The (.'nurici! was unnnimously of thi' opinion that particular attt ntion shijulii be paid at lirea to the few men who secure rubner boots, coats and helmet^ and stand at a safe distanca iiway and walcb tlu: iien niil si for¬ tunate do the work. The foremen were assured they would have tbe sup¬ port of the Council in any action they might take, within their by-laws. Treaaurer White reported that over $300 had been collected from the two per cent, insurance tax during the past yeur, mainly througii the unceasing work of Secretary Niles. The collec¬ tion for tha. two years previoua had been tlWitor the two years so that in one year it had he-itn increased over $100, and much'larger retiirns were expected next year, nf the insurance compai.it-< iio,v knew they were beihg cloirly w-'.ched.and any infringementJa ^^Continiieii on pa||;n 8)
