You know the story. You've heard it here a hundred times before. Always remembering that one man's erotica is another man's ennui (boredom), Bill invariably prefers the late-second-gen Chevy Camaro Z28 ('78- 81). "I like the look of the soft bumpers, the size and proportion of the car, and the body lines," he says. Could there be more to it than that? Probably. "Over the years," reminded Bill, "I've owned four second-gen Camaros."
What does Bill think is the most unique feature of his '80 F-body? "I wanted a big-block but also wanted to be different and bigger than the norm. The GM Performance Parts 720R was the biggest crate available, but since then I've had the engine gone through." Yes, for additional grunt. What's an engine if you don't modify it? Isn't that the one thing that hot rodders can't ever quit?
And that's why there has been more than one memorable experience with the Z28. At a show last year, Bill heard over the PA system that's his car had tied for First Place. Then, in typical carnival convolution, someone flipped a coin to decide the winner, and instantly Bill became a runner-up. It was getting late. He got in his car. As he was pulling out, over his shoulder he saw two of the judges scrambling after him. They were holding a 3-foot-tall trophy. They told him that his car was voted Best of Show. "I had the biggest smile on my face for the rest of the day," Bill crooned.
Bill took the Z28 from his brother in 1994, its black paint faded to dust, its albino interior little more than a skuzzy, fuzzy memory. Time screeched along. A year later, Bill went to Fortney's Body Shop. A couple of months after the fact, Bill Fortney had the Z28 decked out in Mazda Blaze Red. "To this day," crowed Bill, "it still has that same paintjob that cost me $1,200." And if that paintjob locks the Z28 into a permanent time capsule … so what? We all have to be somewhere.
Time continued to screech along, years actually. It extracted more from Bill than he realized. Between the hours he lavished on the Z and time needed to run his Chambersburg, Pennsylvania, restaurant, his main spring popped. But after a 3-year hiatus, his motivation and enthusiasm rallied. He looked at the Camaro in a different light. It turned his cogs. Since the 350 original, Bill had chopped through a couple of 383s and had been thinking seriously about a 454 when the vision vibed him just before dawn: Get a 572, the big-boy 572R. So he did. He made the basic changes to the chassis, cooling, and drivetrain to accommodate that high-compression apocalypse and drove it sparingly for three more years. Then wayward lifters took out the cam and prompted an immediate engine teardown.
Bill went to Kriner's Racing Engines in Chambersburg. Bill went to G-Force Design Concepts in Chambersburg. The theme: Let's build a bigger mountain. That time frame brings us current. Kriner's balanced and blueprinted the new combination, which they based on the original steel crankshaft, connecting rods, and forged 12.0:1 pistons. The Lunati custom roller brings 309/317 degrees duration at 0.050; lift for both valves is 0.730 inch. Cam and kit were set with Cloyes double-roller timing gear and sealed with a stock front cover. The solid rollers are Iskenderian. Pushrods are Manley. Kriner's closed off the nether end with a GMPP 8-quart sump and Melling pump.

ACT Clutch Kit with ACT MaXX Xtreme Pressure Plate and ACT 4-pad Race Disc
ACT MaXX Xtreme Pressure Plates deliver the maximum holding power available! For racing, combine the ACT MaXX Xtreme Pressure Plate with the ACT Race Disc for the ultimate in torque capacity, durability and quick shifting.
What makes these units so unique? The radical increase in clamp load developed from a single specially designed diaphragm. ACT employs several secrets (just good engineering) to maximize load and reduce flex. The result is maximum torque capacity and long life, while maintaining good release clearance for fast, clean shifting. MaXX Xtreme Pressure Plates may only be used with ACT Race discs. ACT Copper Ceramic Race Discs (Xtreme Discs).
Attack the track with the ACT Xtreme Race Disc. Shifting is quick and sure due to the lightweight rigid design. ACT Xtreme Race Discs are available in 4 or 6-pad solid hub design, these pads (pucks, buttons) are highly durable and resistant to heat.
Why use an ACT Xtreme Race Disc? The copper ceramic material holds approximately 28% more torque than an organic lining. ACT Copper Ceramic Xtreme Race Discs engage fairly harsh and are not normally recommended for street use. ACT recommends 6-pad ACT Xtreme Race Discs for larger sizes to absorb more heat and for smoother engagement. The 4-pad ACT Xtreme Race Discs engage harsher, shift faster, and are well suited for smaller disc sizes from smaller engines.
Not recommended for street use due to harsh engagement. Actual product may vary slightly from image.

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — A cavernous brick building on the outskirts of the city holds a failed dream, a warehouse stacked high with the remnants of a multimillion-dollar spending spree by a former Harrisburg mayor who used city money to purchase artifacts for an Old West museum that died in its infancy.
City officials hope that after a weeklong auction that starts Monday, the collection will be gone — the stuffed buffalo and mountain lion, the more than 500 firearms, the racks of period clothing, the wooden dugout canoes and the Savage Ale bar sign with a bullet hole tenuously attributed to frontierswoman Calamity Jane.
"This is extraordinary and totally unprecedented in the value alone, and also the scope," said Joanne Grant, a longtime auctioneer with
Stephen Reed, who was in his seventh term four years ago when Democratic primary voters turned him out of office, pursued the museum project as part of a plan to draw tourists with five museums. Two were established, a small fire museum and a larger facility focused on the Civil War.
No one seems to know precisely how much he spent as he traveled the country to purchase the items, which also include pieces meant for another Reed dream, an African-American museum, and a hodgepodge of other material, some of dubious historical value.
Nearly all the roughly 5,000 lots will be sold from
Among the items that have attracted interest are a Colt Firearms Co. advertising board with an endorsement by the Texas Rangers and a circa-1890 coin-operated slot machine called The Owl. The collection also includes a sizable number of Spanish colonial artifacts, as well as documents linked to Presidents George Washington and John F. Kennedy and historical figures Billy the Kid and John Hancock.
There are dozens of saddles, framed collections of marshal and deputy badges, countless antlers and even a hat rack fashioned out of horseshoes.
"The only logic we could come up with is he was trying to cover so much territory with these acquisitions that he used sort of a machine gun approach," Ettinger said. "I think the jury is absolutely out as to whether he overpaid for things that are genuine treasures. The auction will be the judge of that."
George Turak, a collector and former art dealer from
"If you know how to look at a good buy, a good item, and can do the research, then I think it will certainly pay off for you," Turak said.
Reed said he determined the artifacts' authenticity by examining them, documentation that came with the purchases, the sellers' reputation, expert review and other research. He said the collection would have helped the city qualify for matching state funds to construct the museum's building.
"Generally, it is better to acquire the items to go into the museum before you build the actual museum, so that the building's design properly encompasses the planned focus periods," Reed told The Associated Press. He said he spent about $7.4 million on about 8,000 items.
Reed's decision to use city money to purchase thousands of items for an Old West museum in the Northeast has been much criticized, particularly as the city tries to dig out from a massive financial crisis, caused largely by debt tied to a trash incinerator, that has left it on the brink of bankruptcy.
"You don't send the mayor out on a shopping trip to buy things," said Dan Miller, the city's elected controller. "If you were going to do this in a legitimate manner, you'd have a plan, you'd have professionals involved, you'd have a roadmap to a successful museum. We obviously didn't have that."
But businessman Fred Clark, a friend and political ally of Reed's who served on the Harrisburg Authority, the entity that ultimately paid for most of the items, defended him, saying the Old West museum idea was part of a larger plan that included Reed-driven projects that brought minor league baseball to City Island and helped turn a seedy downtown strip near the Susquehanna River into a row of busy restaurants and bars.
"There's a whole host of projects that the city and the mayor undertook that are good projects,"
It's the second auction for the collection; some of it was sold by Heritage Auction Galleries in
Ettinger said the idea this time around is to get rid of everything so no minimum bids are required. Online buyers have already begun to place bids, though sales won't be final before the actual auction.
After Guernsey's gets its cut, the proceeds will go into the city's general account, said

Wear SLU Blue Friday, July 29, to show YOUR spirit.
In June, the Division of Research showed its spirit with the Billiken. Bridget Turner, program manager for the Division of Resarch, said, "We really enjoyed our Billiken appreciation party. Many of our staff got into the spirit by wearing SLU colors and by creating Billiken ears to wear. What a great way to foster team building and show our SLU pride." Bridget went on to say that the entire team enjoyed learning the Blue Spirit Day dance.

How can you and your team get involved with Blue Spirit Day?
Wear your SLU blue and look for the Billiken.
The Billiken will make special appearances on the last Friday of each month and the next Blue Spirit Day is Friday, July 29.
Start planning now and check out the Human Resources page on Facebook for photos and news about upcoming Blue Spirit Day events and other happenings across the campus.
Members of the Saint Louis University community can show their true colors when the Division of Human Resources sponsors Blue Spirit Day.
The spirit day is part of a human resources-led initiative to promote greater collegiality at SLU. The campaign unofficially got its start with last year's Cannonball Picnic, and a number of other new efforts are in the works as well.
The last Friday of every month has been designated as a Blue Spirit Day as part of this ongoing effort.
* Note: The option to wear blue jeans may depend on your work environment or schedule for the day. Employees may want to check with their immediate supervisors to determine what's appropriate.

Bob Bowlsby - Big 12 Conference Commissioner
Bob Bowlsby, one of the most respected athletic administrators in the nation, was named the fourth full-time Commissioner of the Big 12 Conference on May 4, 2012. The hire was praised throughout college athletics circles as yet another step in the continuing strength and stability of the Big 12.
In his short time with the Conference, Bowlsby secured one of the most lucrative television deals in college athletics and played a key role in the formation of the College Football Playoff that will begin in 2014-15, the first postseason playoff in the history of the sport. He also finalized a partnership with the Southeastern Conference in which both leagues' champions will meet each year in the Allstate Sugar Bowl in addition to confirming the league's other bowl partnerships, giving the Big 12 some of the premiere postseason destinations in college football.
Improved scheduling has been another priority under Bowlsby which resulted in a men's basketball Big 12/SEC Challenge that was staged for the first time in 2013-14.
In his first two years, Bowlsby has seen six national championships added to the Big 12 trophy case and 38 NCAA individual crowns. Eight additional conference squads finished as runner-up in NCAA competition and three football teams competed in BCS games.
Bowlsby has been at the forefront of change in collegiate athletics as NCAA schools revise and establish new governance rules that will oversee and guide all of college sports. He also led the Big 12 Conference to record revenue amounts in 2013-14, with a record $220.1 million - $8.1 million more than projected – recorded.
Prior to his role at the Big 12, Bowlsby spent six years directing a Stanford University athletics department that sponsors 35 varsity sports and claimed an unprecedented 17 consecutive Learfield Sports Directors Cups, emblematic of the top overall athletics program in the country. The department maintained an annual budget of $75 million.
Bowlsby arrived at Stanford after a 15-year stint as the chief administrator for the University of Iowa Department of Athletics. In his final four years, he guided and supervised the merger of the Hawkeye men's and women's athletic departments that included 24 varsity sports.
Throughout his career, Bowlsby has emerged as a national leader in intercollegiate and amateur athletics. He was appointed to the United States Olympic Committee Board of Directors in 2007 and completed that term at the 2014 Winter Olympiad in Sochi, Russia. In 2002, President George W. Bush chose Bowlsby to be a member of the Commission on Opportunities in Athletics.
Bowlsby has previously served as president of the NCAA Division I-A Athletics Directors' Association, chair of the NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Committee (2003-04, '04-05) and chaired the NCAA Management Council. In addition, he has also chaired the NCAA Wrestling Committee, served on NCAA committees on Financial Aid and Amateurism, the Special Committee to Review Amateurism Issues and the Special Committee to Review Financial Conditions in Athletics.
The National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA) named Bowlsby in 2001-02 as Central Region Athletic Director of the Year and Sports Business Journal selected him from the four regional award winners as the National Athletics Director of the Year. The award highlights the efforts of the athletic directors for their commitment and positive contributions to campuses and their surrounding communities.
Before his stint overseeing the Hawkeye athletic department he served in the same role for seven years at the University of Northern Iowa. A native of Waterloo, Iowa, Bowlsby was named to that post in 1984. He was previously in the role of Assistant Athletic Director for Facilities at the school.
Bowlsby earned his bachelor's degree from Minnesota State University (Moorhead) in 1975 and his master's degree from the University of Iowa in 1978. In February 2013, he was named to the NCAA 40th Anniversary Tribute Team, which recognized the 40th anniversary of NCAA Division II competition. He was a four-year letterwinner in wrestling at MSUM and served as captain during his senior year when he won a NSIC title, and in 2013 he received the Alumni Achievement Award. Bowlsby was inducted into the Dragon Sports Hall of Fame in 1998 and the University of Northern Iowa Hall of Fame in 2007. He also serves on the National Advisory Board of the Positive Coaching Alliance and the Board of the National Football Foundation.
Born on January 10, 1952, Bowlsby has been married to his wife, Candice, for 36 years and they have four children and three grandchildren.

Every day millions of people use BitTorrent to download and share movies. But what are all these people downloading?
For nearly half a decade we have compiled weekly and yearly lists of the most popular downloads, and following on from Netflix's publication of themost rented movies of all time, we today present the equivalent for BitTorrent downloads.
With an estimated 21 million downloads, Avatar is the most pirated movie of all time, followed by The Dark Knight and Transformers with about 19 million downloads each. Interestingly enough, none of the above films were present in Netflix's list.
The BitTorrent and Netflix lists do show some overlap, as Inception and The Departed make an appearance in both.
Despite the massive piracy, the films below have not done too shabbily at the box-office. Avatar is the best grossing movie of all time and The Dark Knight is third, right before Star Trek.
The list below is based on statistics is gathered from public BitTorrent trackers, dating back to early 2006. As BitTorrent's usage was only a fraction of what it is today in the years before, we expect the list below to cover all the most downloaded movies on BitTorrent.
- Avatar (2009)
- The Dark Knight (2008)
- Transformers (2007
- Inception (2010)
- The Hangover (2009)
- Star Trek (2008)
- Kick-Ass (2010)
- The Departed (2006)
- The Incredible Hulk (2008)
- Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End (2007)

T-Mobile myTouch 3G
Yes I know we've seen the T-Mobile myTouch 3G with a different operator logo on it in the UK, but not in that lovely red or with those lovely backplates.
The backplates will cost $15 and can be customised to include any photo you want, a T-Mobile spokesperson told us (the black security stickers aren't included).
Still, with visual voicemail, Wi-Fi, 3G and a touchscreen, T-Mobile US fans should dive right in as the company has confirmed to Pocket-lint that it has no plans to bring the HTC Hero, the third HTC android handset, to the US.

Cardiologist Paul Cohen, expert in obesity and related diseases, named to faculty | Faculty Recruitment
More than one in three U.S. adults is obese, a condition that puts them at risk for an alarming array of health problems, from diabetes and heart disease to cancer. But while obesity brings devastating consequences for many, some escape. For a select few, obesity causes little more than sore joints and fatigue, at least for a time.
Child and Family Center to expand by five rooms | Campus News
The Rockefeller University Child and Family Center, long one of the university's most coveted perks for parents and a model for work-site child care facilities nationwide, will expand by 40 percent this year, with five new classrooms to be constructed on the second floor of the Graduate Students Residence. The expansion, which will double the number of highly desirable infant spots available in the program as well as add new seats for toddlers and preschoolers, is the first increase in the CFC's size since 2001 and will help shorten a lengthy admissions waitlist that some families remain on for two years or more.
New career director to help students and postdocs navigate options | Appointment
Andrea Morris's career in biology has had a few curves. After earning a Ph.D. in molecular biology and doing a postdoc, she took a tenure-track faculty job, teaching and running a lab at a small liberal arts college. But she ultimately gave up tenure, and the bench, to work in higher education administration. Now, as the newly hired director of career resources and professional development in Rockefeller's Dean's Office, she is charting yet another course, putting her biology Ph.D. to work in ways Rockefeller students and postdocs can appreciate.
Two new Trustees are elected to Board | New Trustees
The university's Board of Trustees elected two new members in October 2014: Weslie Janeway, a philanthropist with a long-standing interest in genetics, and Michael J. Price, an investment advisor specializing in the telecom and technology industries. With their elections, the university now has 45 voting trustees.

The university's annual holiday lecture for high school students, a tradition dating back to 1960, received a makeover this year. In addition to a new name, "Talking Science," which debuted in 2013, the lecture was moved to the second Saturday of January, and expanded to include a lunchtime program of scientific demonstrations — highlights included electric fish, visual illusions and fruit fly mating — in the CRC, as well as the customary two-part lecture in Caspary Auditorium.

Morning Report: Dana White says Rashad Evans' next opponent could be Dan Henderson, not Shogun Rua - MMA Fighting
"That fight's probably not going to happen. If any fight happens, it would probably be Rashad Evans vs. Dan Henderson," UFC President Dana White revealed on Tuesday edition of UFC Tonight.
Both Evans (17-3-1) and Henderson (29-9) are looking to right their ship after suffering listless defeats this past month; Evans to Antônio Rogério Nogueira and Henderson to Lyoto Machida.

Fits great and works well. The one detractor is that you need to remove the chain guide to properly adjust your chain slack. If you use the 49 tooth rear sprocket, the rubber shoe does contact the sprocket and will get chewed up a bit as the bike adjusts the rubber shoe to fit.

Is Tim Tebow being blackballed by the NFL? The short and simple answer is that Tim Tebow is not good enough as a player to be a distraction in the NFL, and the media circus around him is a distraction. There's no question Tim Tebow is one of the biggest media stories as an athlete. Forbes just named him America's most influential athlete. The Onion just named him America's most influential former athlete. He inspired a potential change in Alabama's state law as a high school recruit. He helped lead the Florida Gators to two national championships, including key contributions as a freshman backup. He won the Heisman Trophy. His play for the Denver Broncos in 2010 and 2011 showed, though, that he is, at best, a work in progress when it comes to throwing the ball at an NFL level. He posted the worst completion percentage in the league. He was sacked a phenomenal amount behind an offensive line that did not have trouble pass-protecting for Kyle Orton (or for Peyton Manning in 2012). The Broncos tried to get around his limitations as best they could by instituting a run-heavy option offense. Tebow's experience should have made him a good fit there, but as long as he's played in an option-oriented scheme, his option decision-making has been relatively poor. The Jets in 2012 tried to find a use for Tebow in the right niche, as a backup who drew occasional use in goalline and maybe some third down situations. The result was an unsuccessful season. Mixing Tebow in with Mark Sanchez only prevented either player from getting into anything like a rhythm and produced perhaps the league's most dysfunctional offense. Tebow barely threw the ball, but not because he didn't have opportunities to make plays in the passing game. He ran the ball much more than he threw it but his runs were inefficient. After drafting Geno Smith in the second round, the Jets released Tebow. And now we come to the point where we were. What Tim Tebow has done at the NFL level indicates he does not do many things that can help an NFL team win games. Could he in time? Perhaps. Notwithstanding his flaws as an NFL quarterback, he remains an incredibly popular player, one who has won some games in the NFL thanks to a low-scoring defense and a healthy dose of luck, with a personal fanbase that will pepper his team with questions and claim he should be starting notwithstanding his lack of NFL success. A good contrast with Tebow came in April's NFL draft. The biggest off-the-field distraction in terms of potential prospects came from Notre Dame middle linebacker Manti Te'o. His fake girlfriend story earned him a great deal of media attention, very little of it positive. His presence on an NFL team would inevitably produce jokes aimed at him and the team that drafted him. And where he did he go? Early in the second round, precisely where his on-field football talent indicated he should have gone. The San Diego Chargers drafted him because they thought he could fill the void at inside linebacker created by the loss of Takeo Spikes. That was enough to get him drafted pretty highly. Is he being blackballed? As we just saw with Chris Kluwe, being good earns a player a lot more leeway than not being very good. No, Tim Tebow is not being blackballed any more than any player who is not great and whose presence disrupts the NFL's "all football, all the time" mentality.
Awww. But I thought all he had to do is pray, and that'll make everything all right ...
What a stupid reply...... So much for intelligent responses.
If all you had to do was pray to make everything better or GET RID of something that's bringing you down YOU Absinthe1967 would have been gone a long time ago. Tim Tebow started a NATIONWIDE campaign (UNKNOWINGLY I MIGHT ADD) of people kneeling and praying, he is extremely talented athletically, he is NOT into drinking, drugs, illicit affairs or taking performance enhancing drugs to "better" his performance on the football field. He's not afraid of PROUDLY declaring his belief, faith, and inspiration in the Lord Jesus Christ and thru that faith, hard work and talent he has won the Heisman trophy, graduated (with honors) from his college alma mater, took Florida to TWO national championships and has played (whether he EVER plays again) for the NFL. What exactly have YOU done?? Sitting in your parent's basement and making STUPID, MEAN and SMART ALEC responses don't count, get a life you twit, maybe you should try that prayer thing, you might find it works MUCH better then anything YOU'VE done!
And while we're on THAT subject I would LOVE to ask the NFL officials what exactly Tebow has done to be a "distraction"!! How many NFL players JUST THIS SEASON have been arrested for drunken driving, possession of illegal substances, had NUMEROUS affairs on their wives...but yet Tebow who PROUDLY and UNASHAMEDLY shares his faith in God is considered a "liability". And we wonder why this country's morals and values have gotten so screwed up!!
tims cristiainty is not in question he needs to get a trainer and go to work on his throwing motion remember faith without work is dead
Your comments are spot on. Let's not forget though tragic the Chief player that killed himself in front of the coach. I believe Tim has the distraction tag be cause of his relationship with Christ. There is a hatred for him because of his morals. This is sad.
His proselytizing by example is obnoxious. If I want HeyZeus I will go find what there is of him.
Bottom line, Timmy is a college player who can't throw. Its painful to watch and I say that with full appreciation for the fact that I could never play football at all.
If Tim can't throw,
What was that gester he made against the pittsburgh Steelers in the playoffs to win the game? OH YEA, IT WAS A GAME WINNING PASS OVER THE MIDDLE,
Wow... that's was a lot
How's that "faith" workin' out for him?
Timmy Boo Boo wants the team to revolve around HIM, what worked at UF is not working now.
I agree,He's really not an NFL quarterback.I think he would be better as an end.He's big and strong. I wouldn't be afraid to train him for defensive end or outside linebacker.He's young and he can adapt.The boy has talent,but not at quarterback.
My question is this?
What is the distraction he created?
Without attacking him personally, what is the distraction?
If you say because he prays, he did that on the sideline, he kneeled on the sideline after scoring a TD to win the game.
My 2nd. Question is this ; If you look at Vince Young, who was a complete and utter failure as a Starting QB at Tennessee. For 3-4 seasons the team tried, & tried to develop him, finally, after he had to be checked into Crazy house.
They gave Vince Young everything he needed to develop, the way you develop a NFL QB.
But, if you look a Tim Tebow, the author of this article says he had a good O Line to block for him.
I can provide you FACTUAL PROOF thats a out and out LIE. If you go back and look at the Denver Bronco's Rooster ALL THE RECEIVERS, WERE OUT ON (IR) for the season, along with numerous other injuries to starting players AND MAY I ADD, a 3-8 record a NEW COACH, John Elway Threw Tim Tebow in to a ALLIGATOR PIT, and his plan was to sit in his up there in his prefect world and laugh & tweet smart ass remarks as he watched Tebow get torn to shreds without any support what so ever. Half the starters sitting out injured, Tebow was left with, AT BEST, a bunch of 2nd string aging back up players, with 1 or 2 1st. Rate players. He was supposed to go down in a pitiful display of dispair. Out of that, Elway's plan was for Tebow to finish out the season 3-13 or 4-12 at best giving Denver a real shot at Drafting Andrew Luck, and either releasing Tebow or trading him. Thats what the Plan WAS.
BUT,AS YOU AND THE REST OF THE FREE WORLD WITNESSED, TEBOW SHOWED YOU THAT YOU AND YOUR VIEWS ON HOW TO WIN, WERE 100% as WRONG AS YOU COULD BE. YOU DON'T have a clue as to what you are talking about when it comes to evaluating talent. You spend your time attacking the person, not the play as a fair and objective observer.
What Tim Tebow, for the Denver Bronco's was nothing short of a miracle. Everyone from Merrill Hodge, to that baldheaded but-buddy of his on ESPN were proven wrong. Real wrong. And thats the facts jack.
If a team would give Tebow, the talent they give every other ROOKIE star QB coming into the league and 6 games, not two years which is the norm. Tebow has something you can't buy, you can't bottle, & you Damn sure can't stop. Tebow has a will to win, a driven urge to compete, that no matter what, he will find away to come out a winner. Those of you that look at stats and say he only had a 48% completion % thats total BS and you know it. Tebow had no one to pass to, all the receivers were out on IR. to even try and say thats his completion % is a total lack of basic comprehension of the game of FOOTBALL. HE HAD NO SUPPORT, HE WAS THROWN TO THE DOGS, ELWAY'S PLAN DID NOT WORK. TEBOW TOOK CHICKENXXXX AND MADE CHICKEN SALAD. You keep your stats, I take players like TOM BRADY, TIM TEBOW, RUSSELL WILSON, THEY HAVE THE ONE THING YOU CANNOT PAY FOR. A BURNING DESIRE TO WIN AT ANY COST.
If a NFL team put Tebow in a starting QB, with the new, spread offense that Tebow ACTUALLY BROUGHT TO THE NFL, A COUPLE F 1st. String WR, a RB, TE, and a half decent defense. There is not but Two or three teams that could beat his team. Because he understands what the word team means. And he has a better record of winning than PAYTON MANNING IF YOU LOOK AT (WHEN IT COUNTS) PLAYOFFS. HE TOOK DENVER TO A 2nd round playoff in only HALF A SEASON, STARTING OUT IN A 3-8 HOLE THAT PUT IN THE SAME HOLE VERY FEW OTHER QB's COULD HAVE GOTTEN THE BRONCO's TO WHERE TEBOW GOT THEM.
OH, AND BY THE WAY' WASN'T IT A PASS OVER THE MIDDLE (the toughest pass to complete in the NFL) THAT TEBOW COMPLETED, TO BEAT THE STEELERS IN THE PLAYOFFS? I THINK IT WAS.
SO, NEXT TIME YOU START IN ON HIM PRAYING, AND EVERY OTHER EXCUSE EXCEPT THE FACTS OF WHAT REALLY HAPPENED IN DENVER AND NYJ TIM TEBOW WAS NEVER GIVEN A CHANCE, NOT EVEN HALF A CHANCE. GIVE TEBOW THE TEAM AND TIME THEY GAVE MARK SANCHAZ AND LETS SEE THE OUT COME. THERE WOULD BE 2-3 Superbowl rings on Tebows fingers if he had only half the talent surrounding him that Mark was given. Evaluate the play, not the player, and it all gets real real clear, Tebow is a winner, it don't matter how, as long as he gets you a W thats all that matters at the end of the day, W's vs L's thats what he does is WINS.
If Tebow was that good he would be playing somewhere. But what I want to know? if he was a ATHIEST would all of you be coming to his rescue.
I know you wanna have Timmy's babies and all but get your facts straight so you don't look stupid. Vince Young was the rookie of the year and made two pro bowls before he torpedoed he's career, and the Bronco's were 1-4 when Timmy was named starter. He also had the same receivers Peyton turned into pro bowlers. Bottom line, Timmy sucks Balls
Aaron Rodgers constantly completes passes to 5+ receivers a game. Does that mean the packers have 5+ starting quality receivers? No. They are also constantly riddled with injuries and Rodgers gets sacked more than any other quarterback yet he still somehow manages to win games and constantly be selected to the pro bowl. But your right it is definately the team's fault that Tebow is a terrible quarterback when compared to any other quarterback in the league. Stop using the fact that just because he's a good person and wears his religion on his sleeve as justification to yell at teams and tell them to give this extremely overrated quarterback another try.

God probably has something more Important for Tim to do, so immature individuals like u can sit and criticize him some more. But, Brother go ahead because I am going to let you in on a little secret, the more you bad mouth Tim T. The more rewards he is building when he goes to heaven, you and all like you are building that man a beautiful crown in glory. So, keep it up! Tim will appreciate the Crown your Building him, brother.
I bet if he was gay or Muslim you wouldn't be making fun!
You just don't have a clue, do you?
Since you can't attack the PLAY, you attack the person. The is what someone does when they are LOSING the debate over an issue. Thats rule number ( 1.) in debating 101 you bonehead.
Haters like you that can't see the facts are the reason this country is being sucked down the tubes, all mouth, and no motion.
No, he's a Christian, not a magician. Once you become a Christian, you follow the Lord, wherever He leads you. Peter got crucified upside down, Paul was beheaded and Stephen was stoned to death. Being blackballed would be small potatoes, very small. And, if everyone loves you, you are probably not doing it right in the first place. Not everyone loved Jesus.
If Tim is sent to do things other than football, he'll be disappointed, but he'll go where God wants him. That's what non-believers cannot grasp-we don't just pray and the giant Santa Claus in the sky gives us what we ask for. The pot doesn't get to ask the potter, "Why did you make me like this?"
If you can't get what you want from praying, what's the point of praying?
It is true, piddles, that many people pray to get what they want from God. The point of praying, however, is just the opposite...to give to God what He wants from you.
I think the time has come to "blackball" the NFL. What are these people afraid of? Will one decent law abiding player in a league full of egotistic drug users really hurt them? What a bunch of losers.
If you can't get what you want from praying, what's the point in praying?
those losers are working and bringing in a big fat pay check.
Big fat paycheck? BFD...still doesn't buy them class, morals or character. But then again..most of the idiots that idolize those knuckle dragging neanderthals are only worried about not spilling their beer and getting home from the games without a DUI. The paycheck earned doesn't define the character of the individual dumbass. You should go take some of yours and use it to buy a little intelligence.
Teboo Boo has done little but grab PR; managers, and coaches, do not need a showman, they need PLAYERS.
Tebow has been successful every where he has played, as someone else said , he doesn't do drugs, get DWI's, beat his wife, take PEDs , He IS a great role model, HE does NOTHING to create any distraction. It is the media and the media only did it in NY because it was obvious the starting quarterback shouldn't be starting and Tebow deserved the chance the Jets said they would give him but only because they have a "head" coach who is really only a defensive coordinator and an owner that is weak and ineffective , he was even given the chance to start one game. The JETS ruined Tebow. Well, the JETS will get what they deserve, they will finish last in the league , get the number one draft pick and have another quarterback controversy because they will have Geno Smith ( who by then will prove his immaturity and be another cancer on the team ) and there sitting at number one will be Johnny Football - so clueless Woody Johnson will have himself another quarterback controversy and I can't wait !!!!!!
Start with: He isn't married and continue correcting yourself.
If you had an education beyond the third grade , you would get the fact that the wife part was a reference to other players in the league not Tebow, so what's your brilliant take ?
Just because someone is a good role model doesn't make them a good football player. These comments aren't even related to football or stats they just keep spewing out the same crap about Tim Tebow is a good person and a christian and therefore he should get to start on an NFL team. I know a lot of good people that are christians that look like a maimed antelope when they try running or playing a sport. Lets use your logic though and draft them because the NFL is about who's the best person/christian not who's best at football.
The word from Denver was that they had to totally make adjustments for TT to be the quarterback. If you work at a company and too many people have to make adjustments for you to be employed there - don't expect to stay very long. He was only put in at qb because Denver was 1-4.
Folks need to speak up for Tim cause the media will only make him look like a looser which he is not. He is a good person much better than many a player I have seen over the yrs. Wake Up America!!
But he can't throw. All things aside, that is a requirement for a Pro quarterback.
His proselytizing by example is obnoxious. If I want HeyZeus I will go find what there is of him. Bottom line, Timmy is a college player who can't throw. Its painful to watch and I say that with full appreciation for the fact that I could never play football at all.
This article is poorly written. It is obvious the author does not like Tim Tebow, "The Broncos tried to get around his limitations" "Jets tried to find a use for Tebow in the right niche..." I didn't realize these football organizations were more into charity than making money. I think this is a case of "They hate ya because they ain't ya." Boo!
He can't throw. It painful to watch and I don't like the guy even without ever met him, quite obviously.
Uh ??? if you can't put a sentence together , don't bother posting anything
I seriously don't think Tebow is being blackballed. Tebow def has a huge media and faithful following that some NFL tems would find a distraction. I am a huge fan of Tebow and believe he could be a great NFL player on the right team. Where he can have a chance to flourish and work on his mechanics and come in about 2 to 3 years and help a team contribute to win. I can truly see two senerios working for Tebow. the first is in New England. I am a die hard Patriots fan and I am no worried about any kind of media frenzy following him here. Bill Belicheck can calm down and extinguish any media attention that would come. Look at what he did with Corey Dillon, Randy Moss, Albert Haynesworth and Chad Johnson. I believe Tebow will be able to learn from Brady and that team and no one I don't care who you are will try and call for Tebow to come in as long as Brady is under center, so there is no worries there. The second option for Tebow is merely from a financial stand point. If he goes to Jacksonville it would help that franchise tremendously!!! The jaguars are a team hard pressed to sell tickets and sell out their games. I live in Florida and the Jaguars games are always blacked out unless they play against a good team with a big following or when Tebow comes to town to play against them. I am not complaining because I am a Patriots fan and I was able to get tickets in Jacksonville for $25 last season. There were more Patriots fans than Jaguars fans and it was like welcome to " South Foxboro ". Anyways Tebow would make a brilliant business move to sell seats and Jaguars Gear for their new owner! ....... just saying!!!!
Tebow creates the controversy that swirls around him by making a BIG DEAL about his religion. Which should have nothing to do with playing football. If he was any good, it wouldn't matter. Teams will put up with just about anything to win games. But, as a an NFL QB, Tebow has been abysmal.
So, he should try something he may be better suited for. Perhaps Tim would be welcomed at seminary, where interceptions and wounded ducks are not a problem.
The lesson here is: If you are lucky enough to be drafted into the NFL and your talent is marginal at best-- keep your fascination with imaginary creatures and fairy tales to yourself. You may stick around a bit longer.
The folks praying for Tebow to succeed are the same people who whine and pray to God to kill President Obama. Wonder why they never get their prayers answered?
Tebow played great at UF, That worked out great but as far as the NFL it's college anymore. He's not a TEAM PLAYER1 HE'S A TEBOW PLAYER!!!I don't care if you pray, dance,or do back flips just do what's best for your TEAM.I think he's very intelligent and calculating so it's no surprise were talking about him, That's what he's all about. Have no fear Mr. Tebow your mommies nipple is near!!Grow up, you had your chance when the world was watching you and you chocked, cried, and prayed, got a second chance in NY did the same thing!! Remember the word TEAM, NOT TEBOW .... Not everything revolves around you. Good luck, hopefully wherever you go will have your little blakey, and your pacifier so you don't need to give your speeches. Just do your job. p.s. They have band aides for your boo-boo's
First – thanks so very much to the author for finally saying what the rest of the sane world has long known: Tim Tebow failed in the NFL because of his performance.
Second, the distraction part of his legacy is evidenced in the sycophants who ALL CAP their foaming defense of this media phenomenon. To argue that Teblow was cut because of his religious beliefs is considerably ridiculous. Take a look at how many Christian players there are, kneeling, praying, pointing skyward, thanking Jesus, etc. after every big play. The NFL is full of Christian athletes who make a living as professional football players because of their talent - talent Tim Tebow lacks, plain and simple.
Pro football, like all professional sports, is about winning. If the football minds across 32 teams believe Tim Tebow can't help them win, then I trust their judgment over raging, born again, conspiracy freaks who believe Tim Tebow is the savior of America and that Christians are some oppressed minority.
Will you christian wackos still support him when it comes out hes gay.
Lefty 1023,
First off, only 83% of the county believes in GOD, so by your own written words only 18% of America is not a wacko, (but that statement can't be right, until you clarify what you other 18% believe in, and I have a feeling that the answer to what you believe in would turn this comment reply section into a comedy forum, for people with an IQ in single digits.
Lets compare what LEFTY 1023 has done with your life to what Tebow has done with his life;
1.) Lefty's accomplishments; unsuccessfully stole his mothers $12.00 bottle of lotion, to use in his basement troll hole as a substitute for a girlfriend.
2.) Tim Tebows accomplishments; (2) national championships in college, 2 time Heisman trophy winner,(youngest ever) 1.st. Round Draft pick in the NFL , took a team with a LOSING RECORD, to the playoffs his first season, and won a playoff game against A former SUPER BOWL CHAMPIONSHIP TEAM.
3.) Lefty: won the world championship for having the softest left hand for a man. Because of your mama's $12.00 bottle of stolen lotion.
So see Lefty, it is real easy to attack "someone" when you are fighting a losing fight. Lets see if you can make a winning argument on your point, using on real factual statements and evidence. Then you might some creditability to your dimwitted statements,
Here's some real factual evidence http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/stats/_/id/13200/tim-tebow Tebow is at best a backup. He can't handle the NFL hence his horrendous qb rating/stats. And just becuase he had one good season doesn't make him a great player. Do you remember Shaun Alexander?
If Tim would just go out and get arrested for a DUI, or beat hell out of a girl friend, then he would stand a better chance at being accepted as an NFL player by the news media and many fans.

Nothing to report yet. The domain was pulled due to one of the many email addresses attached to our account not working and it relates to this http://community.dis...ain-name.21196/ it was an email address I used to create the account in 2000, but it wasn't used as a technical or administrative contact address for the whois, it is however the contact address for the account, which is where ICANN had an issue with
Changing the email address is not an easy thing to do where our domain is located, due to all the safeguards added to the account as well, but I have initiated a change of email request and am currently waiting on documents from our accountant that prove to them who we are, because it's the weekend this isn't going to be resolved until the working week starts. I have been contacted by our domain registrar but haven't received a response since I contacted them back yesterday morning with the information they requested to get the domain moved back into our account and unsuspended.
Hopefully they will unsuspend the domain quickly without the need for the change of email on our account (which takes between 5 and 7 days) because those two things are separate, so it could happen today but it might not.
I don't know anything more than that, and when I do I will post it on Twitter/Facebook and here, in the meantime you'll have to be patient, just like me.

July 16, 2013 — This week on "Federal Tech Talk", host John Gilroy interviews Steve Charles, one of the co-founders of the immixGroup.
The discussion centers around some of the unintended consequences of a budget reduction for federal information technology professionals.
The problem is simple: both civilian and defense agencies are having their budgets cut.
In other words, just like in a household budget, one will have to repair an existing car, rather than replacing it.
As a general rule, this is no problem.
The concern arises with electronic equipment that changes models quickly.
Cell phones are a terrific example.
The hardware changes so fast that the manufactures have a hard time keeping up with making the latest model.
How does an agency get replacement parts from a company that does not make parts anymore?
One solution is to go to the secondary market.
We are seeing countries like China buying up what is called "e-waste" and placing their own components in the parts.
An organization needs that part and gets it through a complex set of dealers and brokers and you end up with a military outfit with a compromised piece of equipment.
How can a manufacturer of electronic equipment be responsible for quality of parts that far down the road?
During the interview, Charles offers a solution, the Trusted Supplier Program.
In the commercial world his solution is classified as "supplier quality management."
Essentially, it assures purchasers that participating organizations have products that are authentic, genuine, and from the original manufacturer.
How the US Mint and NIST are perfecting the money-making process.

Sheffield is certainly more doable! (though still just a little bit far). Unfortunately I do most of my working at weekends and next weekend won't be any different . If I want a weekend off, I have to book it off at least a few weeks before. Thanks for the suggestion though!
