Like great motion pictures, some Corvettes are made, then they're remade. Sometimes, that remake involves a thorough body-off-the-frame restoration to exactly the way it came off the assembly line. Many times, the remake centers on engine and related powertrain upgrades, intended on producing much more horsepower and torque than stock. Or, they can be exercises in beautification (to the owner, at least), ranging from one-off body modifications to multiple coats of hand-rubbed metalflake paint, to an interior upholstered in exotic fabrics and leathers, to a sound system that puts out more wattage and sound than many radio stations--to a combination of all of those.
Sam Wilensky's Vette remake started out with one of the greatest regular-production examples, the '03 Z06, and he made it into a distinctive driver that dazzled us when we saw it at Corvettes at Carlisle. Since then, he's gone the higher-zoot route with it, including a new exterior paint scheme and an even-more-state-of-the-art sound system.
Sam's love of Corvettes and Chevys runs deep--all the way back to his days in St. Louis, Missouri. There, he grew up near Chevrolet's St. Louis Assembly Plant, which turned out steel-bodied Chevys starting in 1920, then became the home of the Corvette in 1954. Several of his neighbors worked at St. Louis Assembly, and he'd often see them "take their work home with them" as they drove the latest production examples around town.
When it came time for his first car, it was indeed a Chevrolet--but not a Corvette. "The first car that I bought as a teenager was a '76 Nova coupe that I put an L88 hood and striping on; it was a lot of fun," Sam says. Several Camaros succeeded the Nova, with one of them still in his Spartanburg, South Carolina, garage. However, family commitments meant minivans instead of Vettes for a number of years, until his daughters were grown, and it was time for him to fulfill his lifelong dream of Corvette ownership. "I had been searching for a Corvette for a while," Sam says, "and I finally found myself in a position to do that."
Enter the '03 Z06. "We bought the '03 brand-new in August of 2002, not long after they hit the dealers," says Sam of his Millennium Yellow Z06--1 of less than 2,000 Z06s that were painted in that optional shade. For Sam, the 405 hp and 400 lb-ft of torque that the production Z06 engine put on the pavement weren't enough, so he took it to the folks at Lingenfelter Performance and had them add an intercooled Magnuson supercharger, plus related performance upgrades like a Corsa after-cat stainless steel Pace Car Edition exhaust system. Lingenfelter also added a mini-tub kit out back to make room for the 19x12-inch HRE wheels and 345/30R19 Michelin Pilot Sport tires (which were joined by 18x9-inch HRE wheels and 255/40R18 Pilot Sports in front), as well as a set of big Brembo disc-brake rotors. All that, plus a set of '04 Z06 shocks, went in to keep the supercharged Z06's power (now up to 595 hp and 505 lb-ft of torque) on the pavement and the Z06 aimed where Sam wanted it.
Inside, the upgrades included a high-end Clarion sound system with a touch screen, iPod, and DVD-playing capability, plus a full set of Vette Essentials interior upgrades (seats, steering wheel, center console, armrest, shifter and handbrake handles and boots, and door pulls) color-keyed to the Z06's original Millennium Yellow.
Since we photographed it, Sam's Z06 has undergone a complete makeover. As he puts it, "It now has custom paint, custom audio and interior," with a black-over-yellow-over-black color scheme that adds scallops where the Z06s body has coves. "I've been working with a great custom shop, Elite Audio, here in Spartanburg that's done some wonderful things with the car," he says.
With the remake, Sam has retired his Z06 from daily driving. "I'll probably still find excuses to drive it to work, but when I met the great guys from your team at Carlisle, the car was a daily driver," he says. "I was driving it back and forth to work every day and I drove it to Carlisle. Now, with the new custom paint job and all that goes along with it, I don't think it'll see as much street duty as it once did." He's left that duty to the other cars in his garage. Which, no doubt, are waiting their turn to be remade.

Today my Ben started preschool. What in the world am I going to do with that extra time ?
That was a rhetorical question….obviously.
Oh and just to brag because I can…I got that Pottery Barn backpack with his name already on it for $3.00 (!!!!) at a local discount store that caries all the Pottery Barn mess-ups. Deal of the century.
I also forgot awhile back to introduce my two newest sponsors Fresh Squeezed Fabrics (love her fat quarter bundles!) and Meriwether Essentials a cute new shop full of natural yummy soaps….Welcome!

What you should do is toss out that machine before it give you any headaches. In all seriousness that ram was an attempt to bring a new standard to the table when DDR was introduced. It failed miserably for multiple reasons , most noticeably price and heat issues.
Invest in a new mobo/memory/cpu it would be cheaper than spending on new RAM-Bus memory.

It will either be Socket 423 (for early Pentium 4s), 478 (most common), or LGA 775 (newest). If it's an LGA 775, you will be able to upgrade the processor to a Core 2 Duo or Quad; however, judging by the fact that you have RDRAM, it's very likely that your motherboard has a Socket 423 or maybe 478, in which case, it's not worth upgrading the processor. Run CPU-Z to make sure.
How do I figure out which CPU is the last p4 proccessor that will work with this motherboard?

|These tasty Salsa Pork Chops simmer in the CrockPot while you're busy doing other things!
(Makes 4 servings; recipe adapted from Not Your Mother's Slow Cooker Recipes for Two.)
4 pork chops with fat trimmed (I used pork loin sirloin chops, remember the guideline for 10% fat or less if you're making this for the South Beach Diet.)
1/2 tsp. ground cumin
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1/2 tsp. Vege-Sal (or use a smaller amount of regular salt)
1/2 tsp. fresh ground black pepper (or less if you're not a pepper fan)
1 T olive oil (or less for a non-stick pan)
1 cup salsa (I used Pace Picante Sauce Mild, but choose the level of hotness and brand you like.)
2 T fresh-squeezed lime juice
(If you want more sauce you could use 1 1/2 cups salsa and 3 T lime juice)
Serve hot, with a little sauce spooned over each pork chops.
Phase One Flashbacks:
January 9, 2012: Baked Halibut with Sour Cream, Parmesan, and Dill Topping
January 9, 2013: Ground Chicken (or Turkey) and Chickpea Curry Stew with Yogurt and Cilantro
Nutritional Information?
I chose the South Beach Diet to manage my weight partly so I wouldn't have to count calories, carbs, points, or fat grams, but if you want nutritional information for a recipe, I recommend entering the recipe into Calorie Count, which will calculate it for you.

This week has been as colorful for the Bay as the sunset picture taken at Crown Memorial Beach in Alameda today at 6:48 p.m.
The birds were feeding nicely, and no oil had appeared, fortunately.
Exactly 12 hours earlier, the U.S. Coast Guard got news that the tanker Dubai Star had suffered a rupture in a fuel lines and released an unknown amount of fuel into San Francisco Bay about 2.5 miles south of the Bay Bridge.
Some 11,000 feet of boom was deployed to contain the spill more than three hours later. And the Coast Guard says that the no more fuel is leaking into the Bay.
The California Department of Fish and Game (DFG) activated the Oiled Wildlife Care Network to conduct wildlife search and reconnaissance operations. So far, there have been no reports of oiled wildlife, and volunteers have not been called into action yet.
Alameda residents active in the Bay Farm Nature Connection plan to volunteer as the need arises.
The public is asked to not attempt to rescue oiled wildlife, the Coast Guard says, as this may cause injury to both the individual and the animal. Instead the public should report sightings of oiled wildlife to 1-877-823-6926.
However, according to the Coast Guard, "Oil trajectory models predict potential shoreline impacts tonight starting this evening at North Alameda Island, Bay Farm Island, Yerba Buena Island and Treasure Island."
Also, the Coast Guard is limiting the movement of boats in the Oakland Estuary, the Oakland Bar Channel and within the spill area.
We will continue to monitor this situation.
And in news about 700 miles south of the Bay, a boat owned by the J/World Sailing School is reported to have sunk after leaving San Diego and encountering a pod of whales.
J/World, which has facilities in Marina Village, participated in this year's Baja Ha-Ha rally. The annual event includes about 200 sailboats this year – many from Alameda — traveling from San Diego to Cabo San Lucas from October 26-November 6.
On Tuesday, the San Diego Union Tribune reported that five people in a life raft had been rescued. And the sailing monthly Latitude 38 , which organizes the Baja Ha-Ha, says skipper Eugenie Russell and four crew members may have had only five minutes to get into the raft.
J/World opened its office in Alameda in 2002.

The Mummy of Demetri[o]s
When the Romans ruled Egypt (30 b.c.e–642 c.e), some wealthy Greeks there were mummified. This mummy was made with expensive imported materials that show the wealth Demetrios commanded in life. It is wrapped in a linen shroud painted with red pigment made with lead imported from Spain. The mummy includes a Roman-style portrait of Demetrios painted on a wooden panel in the medium of encaustic, or wax plus pigment. (Compare it to the less costly portrait painted directly on Neferhotep's shroud, nearby.) Artists added Egyptian divine symbols to the mummy shroud and the deceased's name and age at death, recorded as fifty-nine years, all in gold leaf.
A recent CT scan (or three-dimensional X-ray) of this mummy reveals that the individual suffered from gallstones during his life.

- Instead of using new sheets of packing paper, use old newspapers to wrap fragile items.
- Consider using environmentally preferable packing materials such as cushioning peanuts made of biodegradable cornstarch and bubble wrap containing postconsumer recycled plastic. In turn, recycle or reuse these materials after you've unpacked.
- If you must purchase new boxes, buy corrugated boxes with the highest recycled content you can find.
- Recycle your moving boxes when you're finished unpacking.
- Be sure to properly dispose of any non-recyclable items that you won't be taking with you. This includes household cleaners, paints, automotive supplies, and other hazardous items that require special disposal. Some localities hold hazardous waste collection days and electronics recycling events where you may drop off items for recycling or proper disposal.
- Earth Day -April 22- is a good time to start your spring cleaning. Make sure you're properly maintaining home appliances and keeping them clean, which keeps them running at peak efficiency. This saves electricity, which conserves resources and reduces global warming. Remove lint and dust from your refrigerator coil and freezer. Clean up lint around your dryer, furnace, and any vents leading to or from them. Also, change or clean the filter in your air purifier or furnace.
- For spring cleaning chores, try to use non-disposable items such as mops and reusable rags or sponges. When using household cleaning products, be sure that you only use the amount you need, and that you read and follow the manufacturer's directions for use and disposal.
- Have a yard sale to find new homes for clothes, toys, appliances, books, and other items.
Lawn and Garden
Quick Tips:
- For spring lawns, remember all pesticides are toxic to some degree. Try spot-treating problem areas with pesticides, rather than treating the whole yard. Plant trees, shrubs, or other greenery to help reduce carbon dioxide in the air.
- Use food scraps, yard trimmings, and other organic waste to create a compost pile. Compost is a rich soil amendment that can help increase water retention, decrease erosion, and replace chemical fertilizers.
- Many plants and insects can serve as non-toxic, natural deterrents to weeds and garden pests. Introduce ladybugs to eat aphids, plant marigolds to ward off beetles, and look for quick-sprouting plants to block weed growth.
- If you have healthy plants that you want to replace, donate them to community gardens or schools, or offer them to neighbors.
In the Community
Quick Tips:
- On Earth Day, show your commitment to a clean environment by volunteering for a cleanup effort in your community or initiating a cleanup effort in your school, on your street, along roadsides, vacant lots, or other local areas. Remind your friends not to litter.
- Organize a recycling drive in your neighborhood or school. Collect bottles, glass, plastic, and newspapers and take them to your local recycling center.
- Offer to donate items to schools and local charities. Many are interested in notepads, toys, dishes, sweaters and coats, books, pencils, board games, posters, and holiday decorations.
- If you are hosting a party, buy drinks and snacks in bulk to prevent packaging waste, and encourage guests to recycle their empty aluminum cans and glass or plastic bottles. Also reuse decorations, or rent some from a party store.
- Spend your free time volunteering at a local park or helping out with environmental clean-ups.

Today mention Bhopal and the immediate association is the Union Carbide gas tragedy. It is time other parts of Bhopal began to get their due and there is much to be said about this city. Bhopal continues to rank as one of India's cleanest cities, with broad and tree-lined roads, two lakes and a culture that is enriched by the tribals in the region.
Bhopal also happens to be the starting point for some amazing destinations. From Bhimbetka where Neolithic man explored his artistic talents to the unfinished temple at Bhojpur whose rocks still carry as proof perhaps, the blueprints to the temple, not to forget the wonders of the beautiful stupas at Sanchi.
Bhopal is as bustling and busy as any other small city. But the feature that gives away its smallness is the laid-back nature of life here which seems to have permeated the city itself. A rich and varied cultural heritage gives shape to appealing forms of folklore and folk art. The two large lakes dominate Bhopal and this part of the earth is fragrant with its own scenery.
Population: About 1,433,875
Climate: Characteristic of central India, Bhopal bakes in the summer with temperatures rising to a maximum of 44°C. Evenings are cooler at 22°C. Winter temperatures range from a maximum of 25°C to a minimum of 4°C.
Main Language(s): Hindi , English Time Zone: GMT + 05:30
Phone Area Code: 0755
Best Time To Visit: The best times to visit Bhopal would be between the months of October and mid-March.

I have a question about Snuff.
The bit at the end, where they set fire to the wicker hurdles - what's that all about? Presumably there's a Wicker Man reference in there, though the specifics escape me.
Is it just a spectacle to get the attention of the crowd so they can be told the goblins are under the protection of the law? Or am I missing something incredibly obvious?

Sunday, April 13th (All times Eastern)
Carolina Hurricanes (35-35-11) at Philadelphia Flyers (42-30-9), 3 p.m.
(SportsNetwork.com) - The playoff-bound Philadelphia Flyers will cap their regular season on Sunday, as they host the Carolina Hurricanes for an afternoon battle at Wells Fargo Center.
The Flyers clinched a postseason berth earlier this week and on Saturday locked up third place in the Metropolitan Division, meaning Philadelphia will begin the playoffs on the road against the New York Rangers. It will be the first postseason series between the rivals since the 1997 Eastern Conference finals, when Philly beat New York in five games.
Philadelphia earned its playoff date with the Blueshirts after posting a 4-3 overtime win in Pittsburgh on Saturday. The victory eliminated Columbus from the race for the Metro's third seed.
Mark Streit's errant pass hit the back of the net with 2:50 remaining in OT to cap a wild game Saturday at Pittsburgh's CONSOL Energy Center.
The Flyers defenseman skated up the right wing, in a 2-on-2 with Sean Couturier trailing on the opposite side. Streit attempted to backhand the puck across ice, but the disc deflected off a Pens defender's stick then found its way through Marc-Andre Fleury for the game decider.
"It was another big game, it's always a big rivalry," Streit said.
Jakub Voracek netted the first two goals and Claude Giroux the other in regulation for the Flyers. Giroux gave Philly a 3-2 lead with 1:15 left in the third but Kris Letang evened the score for Pittsburgh just 38 seconds later.
Steve Mason started the game for the Flyers and stopped 21-of-22 shots before leaving after 40 minutes due to an upper-body injury. Ray Emery came on in relief and picked up the win after allowing two goals on 14 shots.
Flyers head coach Craig Berube called the move to take Mason out of the game "precautionary" and said he expects the club's No. 1 goaltender to be ready for Game 1 against the Rangers.
Emery, however, will start Sunday's game. He is 5-0 with a 0.73 goals against average and .977 save percentage in his career against the Hurricanes.
Carolina will miss the playoffs for a fifth straight season, but the club did pick up its first regular-season win in Detroit in over two decades on Friday. Elias Lindholm and Jiri Tlusty scored first-period goals as the Hurricanes held off the Red Wings, 2-1.
Cam Ward stopped 28-of-29 shots for the Hurricanes, who won in Detroit for the first time since Nov. 14, 1989, when the franchise was still known as the Hartford Whalers.
The victory also halted a three-game slide and came one day after Carolina's 5-2 home loss against Washington.
"It was a solid effort," captain Eric Staal said. "We needed to respond after last night's game."
Carolina will try to end its 2013-14 schedule by completing a series sweep of the Flyers. Carolina is 3-0 against Philly this season after losing four straight in the series heading into the campaign.
The Hurricanes are 2-1-1 over their last four games in Philadelphia, but the Flyers have won eight of the past 10 encounters in the City of Brotherly Love.

Digital Dossier
by AMNH on
Each of the 41 intriguing images in Picturing Science: Museum Scientists and Imaging Technologies tells a fascinating story about research or conservation projects. Here's the last in a series of four snapshots.
New imaging technologies have revolutionized the age-old scientific tasks of observation and classification. And for James Carpenter, a curator in the Division of Invertebrate Zoology, they've opened up a new way of seeing.
Dr. Carpenter is tracing the ancestry of various wasps, which he does by examining the insects' physical features to identify them and place them in their evolutionary context. His lab's current project, funded by the National Science Foundation, is to reconstruct the phylogeny, or evolutionary history, of Vespinae, a subfamily of wasps consisting of hornets and yellowjackets.
Carpenter's methods include photomontage—essentially digital photography—which allows him to stack images to focus on specific features. A head shot of a German wasp, part of the ongoing exhibition Picturing Science: Museum Scientists and Imaging Technologies now on view in the Akeley Gallery and curated by Mark Siddall, uses this technique to bring selected areas into sharp focus. These snapshots enable Carpenter to place the insect in the tree of life.
His lab also uses a variety of high-tech microscopes, including an environmental scanning electron microscope. This instrument highlights minuscule features without destroying the specimen, as often happened with earlier versions of the technology. Once Carpenter has the traits, he plugs the data into a computer program that synthesizes them at rapid speed.
A Universe from Nothing with Lawrence Krauss
by AMNH on
The question "Why is there something rather than nothing?" has been asked for millennia by people curious about the universe's origins. Today, exciting scientific advances provide new insight into this cosmological mystery. In this recent podcast, join Dr. Lawrence Krauss, professor of physics at Arizona State University, in a mind-bending trip back to the beginning of the beginning and the end of the end.
Hayden Planetarium Director Neil deGrasse Tyson introduces Dr. Krauss's talk, which was recorded at the Museum on January 23, 2012.
Picturing Science: Capturing Coral's Glow
by AMNH on
Stony corals are living animals that are only two cell layers thick, but over time, their calcium carbonate skeletons can form massive limestone islands. Some contain fluorescent molecules, proteins in their tissue that absorb light from an external source and emit light back at different wavelengths. Marine biologist David Gruber uses a painstaking method of underwater photography to get striking images of fluorescent corals, including images of moon coral and staghorn coral currently on display in the exhibition Picturing Science: Museum Scientists and Imaging Technologies.
"You shine a specific wavelength of light to stimulate the protein—usually blue or green—and the corals emit back in otherworldly greens and reds," explains Gruber, a research associate in the Museum's Division of Invertebrate Zoology, "You have to photograph underwater in the dark at night with specially-filtered strobes because you're only interested in the light emitted by the corals and other reef-dwelling organisms."
Gruber photographed these corals in the northern Red Sea in Eilat, Israel, in May 2010, as part of his research into the patterns and functions of fluorescent proteins. Fluorescent proteins have been found to be useful tools in studying AIDS, Altzheimer's, cancer, and other diseases, as well as in basic biological research.
A Historical Tour of Aphrodisiacs with Francine Segan
by AMNH on
In honor of the approaching Valentine's Day, the Museum will host food historian Francine Segan on Wednesday, February 8, for Aphrodisiacs: Myth or Reality?, featuring stories and tastings of foods considered to have seductive properties throughout time. Below, Segan unravels the histories behind a few food items thought to have a strong connection to passion.
Why were oysters, scallops, mussels, and other types of seafood hailed as aphrodisiacs?
Francine Segan: Aphrodisiacs were named for Aphrodite, the goddess of love. According to ancient Greek legend, Aphrodite was born from the sea and arrived onshore transported on either an oyster or scallop shell. So oysters and all sorts of shellfish were thought to be aphrodisiacs.
Dimitar Sasselov on the Exoplanet Revolution
by AMNH on
In the past year, scientists have discovered an astounding number of planets beyond our solar system. On Monday, February 6, Harvard astronomer Dimitar Sasselov will discuss these "exoplanets" and the possibility of discovering life beyond Earth at February's Frontiers in Astrophysics lecture. Sasselov recently answered a few questions about the search for other worlds.
Have discoveries of exoplanets within the last few months changed any of our views on the potential for life beyond our solar system?

Dietetics Garden Gives Bridesmaid Dresses New Home
If you have an old bridesmaid dress hanging in the back of your closet , SLU's department of nutrition and dietetics can give it a second life.
| Three scarecrows dancing in the wind watch over the traditional Three Sisters' Garden. Photo by Sara Savat
Members of the department are looking for dresses so flowing and flashy that they will scare away crows, sparrows and other pesky birds who otherwise might feast on crops in the department's fruit and vegetable garden on the medical center side of campus. Young participants in the department's culinary arts camp are dressing the decoys in wedding finery as part of their education on keeping gardens pest-free.
The scarecrow wedding collection is starting to take shape, says Millie Mattfeldt-Beman, Ph.D., chair of the department. Three scarecrows wearing gowns that billow in the wind are posed as dancers as they watch over the Three Sisters' Garden, a traditional Native American planting of corn, beans and squash.
The current piece de resistance, though, is a bridal scarecrow that wears a veil and a wedding dress that was unclaimed from the master gardener's closet by her sister, who apparently didn't need it for her three subsequent weddings, Mattfeldt-Beman said.
The goal is to have multiple bridal parties of scarecrows wearing outdated bridesmaid dresses, and the department needs your help for the ultimate recycling project. If you think you have a memorable dress might qualify, call 314-977-8523 for details on how to give your dress a new home.

PANAMA CITY — This is the result when passion and talent meet execution.
Chipola's relentless play on both ends of the floor overwhelmed Gulf Coast throughout an 81-70 victory in a Panhandle Conference women's basketball game at the Billy Harrison Field House on Saturday night.
The Lady Indians tightened their grip on first place in the conference with a 6-0 league mark and a 21-1 record overall. GC's chances of advancing to the postseason took a big hit as the Lady Commodores fell to 2-3 in league play and 17-4 overall.
Chipola built a double-digit lead by the midway point of the first half and eventually led by as many as 24 points. GC whittled that advantage down to nine points in the final 2 1/2 minutes but couldn't overcome such a sizable deficit.
"In the first half we put ourselves in a hole, and it was hard to come back," Lady Commodores coach Vernette Skeete said. "The hole we dug really kind of hindered us."
Jessica Morton's 3-pointer a minute and a half into the second half pulled GC within 38-31 before the Lady Indians assumed control. Chipola outscored the Lady Commodores 27-10 over the next nine minutes, putting together a 17-5 spurt during that stretch to build a 65-41 lead.
A Chelsey Gibson layin capped an 8-0 run for GC to rally the Lady Commodores within 70-59 with 5 minutes left, and Dominique Powell's layin with 2 1/2 minutes to play got GC within 74-65. Chipola's Diamonisha Sophus made a 15-foot jumper and two free throws down the stretch, however, to help seal her team's victory.
"Diamonisha Sophus was out for eight games, and she's been back now for three games with us," Chipola coach Greg Franklin said. "When she gets in there we're a little more heady."
Tiffany Lewis made seven 3-pointers en route to 23 points, and Evelyn Akhator scored 19 of her team-high 25 points in the second half to preserve Chipola's advantage.
"What's important now is that we continue to do what we do," Franklin said of his team's final six games of the regular season left on the schedule. "We're not focused on winning a championship right now. That will come if we do what we need to do."
Gibson led GC with 21 points, and Morton had 15. Angeline Earl scored 10 points off the bench.
Chipola players continuously took Gulf Coast defenders off the dribble and forced the Lady Commodores to collapse defensively. That left Lewis and other Lady Indians sharpshooters wide open on the perimeter, and Lewis made six of her team's seven 3-pointers in the first half to blow the game open early.
Lewis fired in a trio of 3-pointers in a crucial 11-0 run that extended the Lady Indians' lead to 32-14 with 5:30 left in the first half.
"We understand who they are," Skeete said. "We understand who their posts are, which shooters can shoot and that their attackers don't shoot. We needed to keep their ball handlers in front of us ... and we've got to get tougher."
The Lady Commodores went to work on trimming their deficit, and Angeline Earl scored seven points off the bench in just over a minute, including two 3-pointers that closed the gap to 36-26. GC went the final 3 minutes of the first half with a bucket, however, and Chipola carried a 38-26 advantage into the locker room at intermission.
Brianna Wright contributed with seven points for the Lady Indians in the first half. Destini Feagin and Earl had seven apiece for GC.
Sophus 4 4-4 13, Lewis 8 0-0 23, Bell 2 0-0 5, Key 0 2-2 2, Wright 3 6-8 12, Janisha 0 0-0 0, Brooks 0 0-0 0, Ellison 0 1-4 1, Akhator 8 9-13 25. Totals 25 22-33 81.
Angelique Earl 0 0-0 0, Angeline Earl 3 1-2 10, Morton 5 4-5 15, Shaw 0 0-0 0, Feagin 2 3-4 7, Rosier 0 0-0 0, Gibson 7 6-8 21, Powell 4 0-2 8, Montgomery 3 3-4 9. Totals 24 17-25 70.
Halftime: Chipola 38, Gulf Coast 26. Three-point goals: Chip 9 (Lewis 7, Sophus, Bell), GC 5 (Angelique Earl 3, Morton, Gibson). Total fouls: Chip 20, GC 22. Fouled out: Feagin, Powell.

A simple whistle is a woodwind instrument which produces sound from a stream of forced air.
Many types exist, from small police and sports whistles (also called pea whistles), to much larger train whistles, which are steam whistles specifically designed for use on locomotives and ships. Although whistles have a musical characteristic (for example train whistles sound a minor-seventh musical chord) whistles are not usually considered "musical" in the sense of being able to play a chosen melody, but mainly the small whistles can also be used as a – very shrill and loud – noise and rhythm instrument. However, musical whistles exist, including any of several 2-octave musical instruments known as tin whistles (sometimes known as pennywhistles or low whistles), as well as the calliope (an array of separately actuable steam whistles), organ pipes and the recorder. Pea whistles are used in jazz and Latin music as a percussion instrument, and children often use them as a toy music instrument.
The whistle works by causing the smooth flow of air to be split by a narrow blade, sometimes called a fipple, creating a turbulent vortex which causes the air to vibrate. By attaching a resonant chamber to the basic whistle, it may be tuned to a particular note and made louder. The length of the chamber typically defines the resonance frequency. A whistle may also contain a small light ball, usually called the pea, which rattles around inside, creating a chaotic vibrato effect that intensifies the sound. Japanese bird whistles use several small balls and are half filled with water in order to reproduce the sound of a bird song.
A steam whistle works the same way, but using steam as a source of pressure: such whistles can produce extremely high sound intensities.
Sometimes, unintentional whistles can be set up. A common one is the opened sunroof of a car: air passing over the top of the vehicle can, at certain speeds, strike the back edge of the sunroof, creating a very low frequency whistle which is resonated by the closed interior of the car. Since the sound frequency is infrasonic, around 4 Hz, the effect is very uncomfortable for occupants, who feel the vibration rather than hear it. Such low frequencies can induce nausea, headache, disorientation and dizziness. The effect can be prevented by opening a side window a few inches. Subsonic whistles have also been developed for use as weapons, or to deliberately create a sense of uneasiness in an enemy.
In ancient Egypt two blades of the papyrus plant along the Nile river were held together in between the palms. By blowing into the palms the papyrus leaves would make a loud vibrant sound.
In 1868 Joseph Hudson of Birmingham, England, made the first whistle ever to be used by a football referee. New Zealand referee William Atack was the world's first to use a whistle to stop a game of sport in 1884. It was used for the first time (allegedly) at a game held at Nottingham Forest, prior to this referees used handkerchiefs to attract players' attention.
By 1884, Joseph Hudson had perfected his whistles and he released the world's most successful whistle to date, the "Acme Thunderer" (the first ever pea whistle). The whistle has been used as an alarm or attention-getting instrument by all manner of industries, sports and revellers. It continues to sell in great quantities throughout the world.
Since the Metropolitan Police Services inception in 1829, officers have been issued with the "Metropolitan" whistle. Prior to this, police used hand rattles, with whistles only being used as musical instruments or toys. Both rattles and whistles were used to call for back-up in areas where neighbourhood beats overlapped, and following their success in London, the whistle was adopted by most counties in England.
J Stevens & Son made police whistles from around the 1840s and Thomas Yates' Beaufort whistles equipped the Liverpool Police in the 1870s. The 1880s and 1890s saw police whistles made by W Dowler & Sons, J Hudson & Co, J Barrall, R A Walton. A De Courcy & Co manufactured the same about 1900.
Police whistles fell largely into disuse in 1969, when early hand-held radios were brought into service. With the rise of the motor car, the whistle was no longer usefully audible in urban areas. The whistle is still used by some police forces today, and engraved ceremonial versions are sometimes presented to police officers upon occasions such as their retirement.
Industrial whistles are used for signalling and timekeeping both on railroad and ships, and in factories. Most of these whistles were steam powered and not standardized. Individual locomotives could be identified by their whistles. At noontime in industrial areas up into the 1950s whistles of every pitch could be heard, as each factory had a boiler and a whistle, if not full steam power.
Railroads in particular used elaborate whistle codes for communication both within the train and with other trains. These methods are maintained today with motor-powered air horns. Trucks also use air horns, especially since they often have air brakes and so there is already a source of compressed air on board.
Train whistles generally produce three or four different frequencies at the same time, to produce a non-major chord, that is distinct, loud, and low in pitch.
Ship's whistles must be very loud for safety on the seas. Modern ship's whistles can be electrically driven or steam driven. was originally equipped with three electric Tyfon whistles in 1932. They could be heard at least ten miles away and were tuned to 55 Hz, a low bass A note that was chosen for maximum passenger comfort despite the high sound pressure level. One of the three whistles was taken back to Kockum Sonics in Malmö, Sweden, where it was refurbished for a new life of service aboard the RMS Queen Mary 2. Modern IMO regulations specify ships' whistle frequencies to be in the range 70-200 Hz for vessels that are over 200 meters in length. Traditionally, the lower the frequency, the larger the ship. The Queen Mary 2, being 345 meters long, was given the lowest possible frequency (70 Hz) for her regulation whistles which means she carries both 70 Hz modern whistles and a single vintage 55 Hz whistle.
Rescue or survival whistles are often packed in survival kits and attached to personal flotation devices to allow a victim to signal for help. The whistle is audible at much greater distances than the human voice, and is less likely to cause exhaustion if used repeatedly. Survival whistles differ from pea whistles in that they are usually flat, so that water cannot collect inside if the user is immersed, for example after falling overboard from a boat.
Whistles can also produce sounds at pitches inaudible to the human ear such as dog whistles which can be heard by dogs at a range beyond that of human sensory perception, or at least conscious perception.
The Fox 40 is used in Basketball, Hockey, Ice Hockey, Soccer and numerous other games, as it can be heard easily over the noise of the audience.
Another whistle widely used for sports such as Touch Football, Rugby League and Rugby Union is the Thunderer 58.5 by Acme Whistles. It is a metal whistle containing a cork pea. It is used mainly because of its design that allows the user to create a deep, low-pitch shrill that can be heard from hundreds of meters away.
