Celebrate Hemi Day with a vintage Dodge Charger video review
Minimal body roll, as defined in 1969. Still image from YouTube video.
Chrysler didn't invent the concept of using heads with a hemispherical design atop the combustion chamber to improve engine breathing and performance, and the company is far from being the only one to ever use the technology, but the automaker can certainly be credited with adding the term "Hemi" to the American lexicon. As today's date (4/26) makes it "Hemi Day," we're marking the occasion with a vintage road test video of a 425hp, 426-cu.in. V-8-equipped 1969 Dodge Charger 500. Rest assured that tires were most certainly harmed in the making of this six-and-a-half minute segment.
Chrysler's first hemispherical-head engines, marketed under the "FirePower" name, were introduced for the 1951 model year. Depending upon the Chrysler division, these were fitted to V-8 engines ranging in size from 241 cubic inches (the Dodge Red Ram) to 392 cubic inches (in Chrysler FirePower variants). Discontinued following the 1958 model year, Chrysler would re-introduce the idea of hemispherical heads in a bid to win the 1964 Daytona 500.
The concept of "win on Sunday, sell on Monday," was very real to the Detroit Big Three, and Chrysler knew a Daytona 500 victory would yield sales growth. The 426-cu.in. "Hemi" V-8 was developed in less than 12 months and gave Chrysler's Plymouth division a 1-2-3 finish in the 1964 Daytona 500. It would be two years before the engine appeared in a street car, but by the late 1960s the 426-cu.in. Hemi V-8 was one of the most formidable threats at both the drag strip and the stop light.
This Car & Track road test video, featuring host Bud Lindemann, is a veritable time machine with controls set for 1969. The Charger 500 featured is said to be "right on the border" between a race car and a street car, but its performance pales by modern standards. These days, many family sedans can get from zero to 60 MPH in less than the Hemi-equipped Charger's 6.9 seconds, with better quarter-mile times than the "blow-your-mind special's" 14.1 seconds. Those were indeed impressive numbers in 1969, though, and the test driver seems comfortable with flogging the Charger 500 at its limit (and occasionally beyond, as evidenced by the rocks and drift on track) in the name of entertainment.
One thing still holds true today, though: parking lot attendants would still start the Charger 500 every few minutes, just to hear the glorious bellow of its Hemi V-8. Happy Hemi Day, and enjoy the video.
"Most documented" Hemi Charger heads to auction
Photos courtesy Mecum Auctions.
Five years ago, we asked on the cover of Hemmings Muscle Machines whether this 1970 Dodge Charger was the world's most documented Hemi car. It's no idle question, either: Documentation can make or break a car on the marketplace, and the value of this particular Charger's documentation will soon be revealed when the car goes up for auction at Mecum's Indy event.
To begin with, Dodge didn't build all that many Hemi-powered four-speed Chargers in 1970: 56 total, and only 10 in R/T trim with the SE package. After decoding its broadcast sheet and fender tag, owner Steven Segal figured he knew as much as there was to know about the Charger when he bought it from ibaey role in discovering the rest of its backstory. Segal restored the Charger with a non-numbers-matching but era-correct Hemi to replace the original engine, long since scattered in a street race by the original owner. By coincidence, a subsequent magazine feature on the Charger landed in the lap of the man cleaning out old sales files at Suburban Dodge in Metuchen, New Jersey, where its original owner bought the Charger. A muscle car enthusiast, he found the car's file, saved it from disposal, and sent it on to Segal, who found within it the car's original dealer order form, Chrysler invoice, notes from the negotiating process, delivery paperwork, and dealer prep work order.
Segal didn't keep the car babied, either. At the time we photographed it, we took it out for a spin and got to hear the Hemi clear its throat through those over-the-counter headers, still with the car. Sometime later, Segal has located and installed the Cragar mags and Parnelli Jones tires that the original owner put on the car, giving it an authentic Day Two vibe.
Since our article appeared, we've yet to hear of any Hemi car with more documentation than Segal's Charger.
Mecum's Original Spring Classic Auction in Indianapolis will take place May 14-19 at the Indiana State Fairgrounds. For more information, visit Mecum.com.
UPDATE (30.April 2013): Steve sent over these timeslips to show what the Charger is capable of.
UPDATE (20.May 2013): The Charger sold for $200,000.
Pamela Austin invites you to join the Dodge Rebellion
The 1966 Dodge Charger demonstrates power-on oversteer.
The formula for car commercials in the 1960s was a fairly simple one: Hire a television personality, preferably a leggy blonde, then use the latest hip and groovy lingo to attract swinging customers into your dealerships. Footage of implied speed or swimsuit-clad models further helped deliver the point that Brand X, Model Y was the car to have parked in your driveway.
Take this commercial for the then new 1966 Dodge Charger, starring Pamela Austin. Though Austin appeared in the Elvis Presley films Blue Hawaii and Kissing Cousins, as well as on popular television shows like Surfside 6, The Twilight Zone, and The Wild Wild West, she became known as "The Dodge Girl" for her starring role in the brand's 1960s commercials and her call to action, "join the Dodge rebellion." While Austin is conservatively dressed by period standards, the video is chock full of driving vices like power-on oversteer, crossing the center line in a corner and driving on the soft shoulder at speed.
Remarkably, there isn't a single disclaimer reading "Professional driver, closed course, do not attempt," yet somehow the bulk of 1966 Charger buyers knew that such behavior behind the wheel wouldn't end well, without having to be told in the ad spot. Today's televised car commercials would never feature such mayhem without the appropriately worded and legal-department-approved disclaimer, making us wonder if future automotive ad spots will be accompanied by ever more verbose warnings.
Were the 1960s the golden age of automotive advertising? Gender roles and safety issues aside, what else could advertisers get away with then that's forbidden today?
Is this the last Hemi ever built by Mopar?

We will shortly be witnessing what might be the most significant restoration of a muscle car in quite a while. According to the people involved in the project, this 1971 Dodge Charger R/T is believed to be the very last Hemi-powered car produced by Chrysler at the end of the original muscle era. Originally delivered in Ohio, it's one of just 33 cars produced in 1971 with the 426 Hemi and TorqueFlite automatic transmission.
According to the restorers, the customer who ordered this Charger was told by a salesman at Glavic Dodge in Wickliffe, Ohio, that the car would probably never be built. Chrysler had already announced that the street Hemi option was being discontinued. But the car was indeed assembled as ordered at the Lynch Road plant in Detroit on June 18, 1971, which was two weeks later than the final Hemi as previously documented by researchers. The restoration shop says they made this determination based on the original broadcast sheet and fender tag, which were both still with the Charger. The current owner, Joe Angelucci, had the car restored by RKM Performance Center in Mooresville, North Carolina.
The completed Hemi Charger will be shown for the first time during the upcoming Food Lion AutoFair at Charlotte Motor Speedway, April 4-7. For more information on the AutoFair, visit CharlotteMotorSpeedway.com.
Make-A-Wish, dealership restoring 1968 Dodge Charger for Minnesota teenager

Matthew Wood didn't have to think long before answering. In the hospital fighting Hodgkin's lymphoma, he and his family entertained a visit from Minnesota Make-A-Wish Foundation representatives, who asked Matthew what's the one thing he would like them to do for him.
Restore my Charger, he told them.
While the Make-A-Wish Foundation has granted more than 232,000 wishes since it was founded in 1980, not too many of them were much like Matthew's, which is understandable, given that the organization only grants wishes to children between the ages of 2-1/2 and 18 with life-threatening medical conditions. "Wishes are unique to each child and their life journey," said Helen Ng, communications manager for Make-A-Wish Minnesota. "In this case, the car is special to Matthew."
Matthew, who lives in Canyon, Minnesota, said he, his brother, Daniel, and his father, John, got the 1968 Dodge Charger more than 10 years ago to work on as a family project. John already had a 1972 Plymouth Scamp, and Matthew said he's managed to work on it just a little bit since then, mostly in getting the Charger's 318-cu.in. V-8 running. "We got it from a guy in Duluth, and even though it was in real good shape, he was going to use it for parts and scrap it," Matthew said. Likely because, as a base Charger with a 318 and automatic transmission, it had few desirable qualities. However, it did originally come from California, so the body remained rust-free, and the Woods kept it that way by storing it in their barn.
For the Charger's restoration, Make-A-Wish Minnesota turned to Morrie's Automotive Group in the Minneapolis-St. Paul region. According to John Aretz, the general manager of the group's Minnetonka Ford dealership and who is overseeing the restoration project, Morrie's has never restored a car for somebody outside the dealership (though it has apparently restored some of the cars in its founder's collection), but the employees who've volunteered for the job have been happy to do so.
"It's been pretty fun so far, and it's moving along pretty well," Aretz said. "The body shop had a fair number of guys working on it, and we've had two to three guys on the mechanical side." As of the last update from Morrie's earlier this week, the body shop crew is just finishing up their contributions, and the Charger should be headed into the paint booth shortly, where it'll receive a coat of Silver Poly. Afterward, Morrie's will fit it with a black interior and reinstall the stock 318 and automatic transmission. "It's all going together stock," Aretz said. "I think the only change we're making is to switch to electronic ignition."
Matthew has more ambitious plans, though: "We have a 440 built for it and ready to go in after we get it back," he said. Morrie's, which picked up the Charger in mid-January, has promised to have the Charger done by the end of March and back in Matthew's hands in early to mid-April. That's just in time for Matthew – who not only got his license last summer, but also beat the cancer in September – to get his 440 in it and start cruising it this summer.

Yee Haw! Original General Lee to cross the block
For an entire generation of American kids, 1960s muscle cars began and ended with a certain creek-jumping, "Dixie"-playing, 01-emblazoned 1969 Dodge Charger. It's a well-known fact that well over 200 second-generation Dodge Chargers were used (and abused) during the filming of the 1979-1985 television program, The Dukes of Hazzard. And among the show's still-huge fan base, there are likely more replica General Lees, Chargers and otherwise, on the road. But the number of original show-used cars remaining is low, and when those cars change hands, it's news.
Bonhams has announced that it'll auction off an original stunt car from the show, a genuine 1969 Dodge Charger (chassis number XP29G9B388140), during their Scottsdale Auction: Motor Cars at The Westin Kierland Resort & Spa on January 17, 2013.
They provide the following detail:
Exhibiting a great patina consistent with an unrestored "General Lee" stunt car, the accompanying history file includes a copy of the original purchase agreement between Warner Bros and Jay Ohrberg dated September 5, 1986, confirming this particular car was used as a stunt vehicle in the cult television series Dukes of Hazzard. In 1998 the car passed to the next owner and changed hands again in 2001, joining the Hollwood Rock & Roll Museum in Branson, Missouri. The car changed hands again later in 2001 and came into the present ownership in 2005. We are advised the car runs and drives just fine and in addition to the history file, has the Air Cleaner signed by a Dukes of Hazzard cast member.
Bonhams estimates that the car will bring between $55,000 and $65,000. That "first" genuine General Lee brought $110,000 at Barrett-Jackson's Scottsdale event last January, a far cry from the $450,000 that the example restored for Dukes star John Schneider commanded in 2008. Stay tuned, y'all…
UPDATE (20.January 2013): The Charger sold for $51,750.
Hemmings Find of the Day – 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona
You have to figure that the people who bought Daytonas and Superbirds when they were new were stock car racing fans or even participants, and this 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona for sale on Hemmings.com supports that theory, with evidence of its amateur racing days – such as the molded-in nose cone – still with the car. From the seller's description:
This car was used on amateur race circuits in the early 70's. At this time, the original motor was cooked and was replaced with a 1969 date code 440 motor. All steel on the body is original, with no replacement in quarter panels or floors. The body is in very nice shape except for some paint patching over the years. The car runs and drives great and will stay cool due to an extra pusher fan mounted in front of radiator to compensate for restricted air flow through nose cone. The body seam for nose cone was mudded in for race purposes due to air flow (was a common practice for many NASCAR vehicles).
The interior is original with normal signs of wear. There is a hole in the headliner over the passenger sunvisor. Dash is very nice with no holes drilled or deletions. The radio is operational original AM-FM.
This is one of 503 claimed to be produced by Chrysler, although through research we feel that fewer were actually placed with dealers to be sold to public. The car was decoded by Galen Govier in the early 1980s and does have build sheet and fender tag.

Charger in the wings
By this time of year, most of us here have a hopper full of photo shoots for the upcoming winter. One of those that I'm really looking forward to is this 1970 Dodge Charger R/T. The big-nosed B-body isn't everyone's favorite, but this is the sole triple-black, four-speed Hemi Charger (of the big 112 Hemi Chargers that year), which as far as I'm concerned makes it one of the all-time great muscle cars.
So great, in fact, that when another shoot fell though, I did a second day with it. As a result, we not only have some hot car-to-car action, but I'll be able to do really thorough driving impressions, as well. As usual, incredibly nice guy Jeff Snyder ditched work at his resto shop for like a week to be my driver and general gopher. The driving part is not always so bad; that's him in the action shots. Hemmings' Steve Berry is driving the rented Crown Vic.
I found it a little difficult to photograph. It's so imposing in person, but fuselage lines show and it can look funny from some angles. I probably needed to be closer than I was, to exaggerate the proportions. I think it looks best head-on; or close to a profile. Traditional 3/4 shots don't really do it justice, because you get distracted by the nose. Actually, it looks best by far from the driver's seat, the big pistol grip in your hand as you make the 4-3 and scare the bejeezus out of some unsuspecting citizen going about their business slightly below the speed limit.
Dodge Charger Daytona wins Best of Show at Musclepalooza XVI
Winged cars from the muscle car era are always crowd pleasers. Throw in a numbers-matching drivetrain with a bruising 440-cu.in. Mopar big-block mated to an A-833 four-speed manual and one of the most detailed restorations we've ever seen, and John Antonelli's 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona handily snared the Best of Show trophy at Musclepalooza XVI this past weekend at Lebanon Valley Dragway.
Overall, more than 3,000 attendees showed up on Sunday, September 2, to take in over 400 show cars and some 360 race cars, including the F.A.S.T. racers and the usual assortment of bracket cars, some of which were running well into the eights, including some with license plates.
John went to great lengths to return his Daytona to the exact condition it was delivered when new. That meant not only applying overspray on the weatherstripping, but also researching the exact pattern of weatherstripping as found on his car, not just any Daytona. Starting with a 26,000-mile car helped, but it meant confirming the date codes of not only the engine and transmission, but also such minutiae as the window washer bottle, the alternator and the starter. It meant returning the body to a condition "as sloppy as it was when it was original," according to John.
John contracted with Paul Jacobs, of Paul Jacobs Restorations of Evansville, Indiana, and Troy Angelli, of TA Restorations of Eldorado, Illinois, for the job, which was completed in early August, just in time for the Mopar Nationals. "The idea was to take the car and make it look brand new using as many original components as possible," John says. And they seem to have nailed that goal.
Today, the Daytona wears a coat of yellow paint in the same hue as it first wore in 1969 when Creative Industries assembled the car for Dodge, but several years ago at a prior Musclepalooza, John was cajoled to run the un-restored and then orange Daytona down the strip. While he doesn't remember the e.t. or trap speed, he does recall that he was not the most proficient on the strip as it was his first time.
Look for full coverage of Musclepalooza XVI in the December issue of Hemmings Muscle Machines.
UPDATE: John sent us a couple photos of the Daytona in its prior Hemi Orange incarnation and taking part in the Musclepalooza F.A.S.T. races.

Iowa State will always be connected to the night Oklahoma State's 2011 national championship hopes were dashed by a 37-31 double overtime loss to the Cyclones in Ames last November. Iowa State is now also linked to the day the OSU community found out that women's basketball coach Kurt Budke and assistant Miranda Serna were killed in a plane crash while on a recruiting trip in Arkansas.
Oklahoma State football: Cowboys reflect on fatal plane crash, costly loss at Iowa State
What was that day like, from start to finish, for the OSU players and coaches? It would be unfair to generalize. The emotions and memories depend on who is asked.
Here is the story of Nov. 18, 2011, told in the Cowboys' own words:
Offensive tackle Parker Graham: "When we woke up and heard the news about the basketball coaches, that just automatically pulled a string at your heart."
Former defensive end Richetti Jones: "I woke that day and turned the TV to ESPN like I always do, and the first thing I saw was the news about the coaches. So I called around to people that I knew were in Stillwater and they confirmed it for me. From there, I was in a daze of slow motion and mixed emotions. How do you react to something like that? Do you sit around and play, talk and laugh like you usually do? Or do you choose your next action wisely, because you don't know how people are going to react to you not caring or acting like nothing has happened? So everyone was walking around on egg shells."
Wide receiver Charlie Moore: "When Coach Gundy called us all, that was something really sad."
Jones: "I really respect Coach (Mike) Gundy addressing the team with the right words. I know it had to be tough for him. What do you tell a whole team? We all knew what had happened, so it wasn't a secret, so what can you really say to use to get our minds right and handle this situation the right way?"
Gundy: "It was quiet for the rest of the day. It was quiet at the hotel, quiet in meetings, quiet on the bus ride. It was somewhat quiet in the locker room before the game."
Graham: "I just remember trying to get focused and still trying to maintain that edge, while still feeling that remorse for the people we lost."
Gundy: "You fly in and you stay a long ways away, and then you get on a bus and you drive over there (to Ames). And you go out on that field and that grass is about (a foot) tall, and it's unlike what we play on down here. We play on grass fields, but it's manicured to perfection, and that's a northern grass and it feels different. They're putting 50 or 60,000 people in those stands now. They're all wearing the same colored T-shirt. And you kind of get put to sleep, because I think players now are attracted to flashy things. My point was, if you think you're going up there to play them and it's going to be a fun trip, you're wrong, in my experience."
Jones: "I couldn't tell you how my teammates felt exactly, but I can tell you I could look at some of them and I knew that they weren't where they needed to be mentally and weren't ready to play a game."
Linebacker Alex Elkins: "Yes, (the plane crash) made the day a little bit more gloomy. But as far as it affecting our game plan, our execution, it had no factor in it, to me. I can't speak for the rest of my team. That's an intangible. I can't change it. I was very sad about the situation, but whenever I step on that field, everything I was thinking about prior than that is completely out of my mind."

Women, with 2 kids each, find sport is healthy for family
north county Carrie Miller-Esayian and Jennifer Rawls might have an answer for how moms can find the power to handle the rigors of parenthood: lift iron.
The two competitive bodybuilders, each with two young children, say hoisting weights gives them energy and strength.
"I love working out," said Miller-Esayian, 44, of Encinitas. "I love feeling strong, and it helps me sleep. It's just a passion of mine."
The women are currently training for their next competition, the National Physique Committee's Amateur Grand Prix bikini contest in Culver City on April 14. They'll then travel to Pittsburgh, hoping to obtain their "pro cards" during an International Federation of BodyBuilders competition in Pittsburgh (and maybe compete in Las Vegas after that).
In preparation for competition, their diets are stripped of sugar, alcohol, sodium, fruit and bread, in favor of vegetables, sweet potatoes and lean meats, such as turkey, chicken and tilapia fish.
"We've had women say, 'We could never look like that.' Well, yeah, they can, but people don't want to do the hard work," Miller-Esayian said.
She placed second in the tall and over-35 class and fourth in the unlimited open class during the annual Border States Classic Bodybuilding and Bikini Competition last October in San Diego.
Though Miller-Esayian says her boys, ages 5 and 8, are too young to attend competitions, they cheer her on each time she returns with a win.
"They love when mom brings her trophies home," she said. "My oldest keeps asking for his 12th birthday if he can have a gym membership."
Rawls, 38, of Carlsbad, whose girls are 4 and 6, also earned trophies during October's Border States Classic, placing first in two competitions for the over-35 age bracket, and nabbing her second Sword, for overall excellence.
Miller-Esayian and Rawls, both stay-at-home moms, often train together at 24 Hour Fitness off Palomar Airport Road in Carlsbad, hitting the gym about 9 a.m. after they drop off the kids at school.
Rawls typically works out at the gym two hours per day, five days a week.
"With drive time, you're looking at three hours that I'm gone per day," she says. "In the next, eight weeks I'm probably going to be doing like six days a week. So, my husband's going to be helping more picking up the girls from school or making a lunch."
Miller-Esayian said her pursuit can be difficult on her boys.
"They want to know why mommy can't have that at dinner," she said. "They see me struggle a little bit, especially toward the last couple weeks before competition."
As a competition draws closer, the women feel added pressure.
"When your kids are sick, you can't get to the gym and you're two weeks (from competition), you are stressed to the max," Miller-Esayian said. "Most competitors closer to their competition go an hour in the morning and an hour at night," she said. "I can't get there at night because I've got my kids' homework, sports and all the rest."
As a byproduct of their lifestyle, the women said their children have adopted healthy eating habits, which they hope they'll carry into their adult lives.

NY Stallion Frost Giant to Stand for $10,000
Prominent New York stallion Frost Giant , who set an Empire State record for freshman progeny earnings in 2012 and leads the 2013 second-crop sire list by a wide margin, will stand the 2014 season for $10,000, up from $7,500.
The 10-year-old son of Giant's Causeway stands at Keane Stud near Amenia, N.Y.
Bred in Kentucky by J.M.J Stables Corporation, he was produced by the Gone West mare Takesmybreathaway. Frost Giant covered 139 mares in 2013, the highest number for a season to date in his young career.
"We are grateful to New York breeders who supported Frost Giant so well this year," said Eric Bishop, who manages the stallion for owner Sunset Stables.
"With his progeny continuing to perform superbly, we are looking forward to bigger crops in the future and to providing him with more and more high-quality mares. We wanted to keep his fee attractive and reasonable while also reflecting the achievements of his offspring," added Sunset Stables owner Andrew Cohen, who owns Sunset.
Frost Giant's best runners this year include multiple stakes winners Frosty Bay and West Hills Giant; graded stakes-placed runner and Kentucky Derby Presented by Yum! Brands (gr. I) contender Giant Finish, and 2012 New York-bred champion juvenile filly Kelli Got Frosty, who has won or placed in six stakes during her 11-start career.
Frost Giant hails from the family of Kentucky Derby winner and young stallion Super Saver , champion juvenile Rhythm, grade I winner Bluegrass Cat , prominent sire Mutakddim, and grade I winner Girolamo .

Living & Learning Communities
Housing and Residence Life strives to promote educational excellence in the Residential Community and increase retention for North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University. Through strong collaborations with Academic Affairs and Student Affairs, the Aggie Living and Learning Communities enable residents to experience a more educationally enriched community supporting his/her academic and career aspirations. Moreover, the Department of Housing and Residence Life recognizes the importance of life skills for the employability of our students. As such, for life skills, these communities will focus on a Residential Curriculum guiding students toward competencies in critical thinking and reasoning skills, social and civic responsibility, character, ethics, and communication.
A living-learning community consists of students who live in a specially-themed residence hall (or an intentionally clustered portion of the hall), and will participate in academically and intellectually engaging learning activities designed specifically for them. LLCs help students create a strong link between their lives in the residence hall and learning experiences in the classroom; provide an environment that is conducive to building a strong, cohesive peer support system that will serve the students throughout their academic and professional careers. Students who reside in an LLC enjoy all the same amenities as other residents, yet benefit from a unique living experience.

Benefits of an LLC:
Although each LLC is unique, benefits may include providing students with a mutual support network, evening events about interesting topics of specific interest to an academic discipline, group dinner meetings, and in-residence tutoring programs designed to increase retention and overall academic performance. Some other benefits for the students are:
- To have a network of friends
- To improve grades
- To meet people who have a common goal
- To participate in social activities related to their academic major
- To find help and encouragement informally through networking with peers
- To transform a residential setting into an active, supportive and exciting place to live and learn
- To maximize each student's academic program's effectiveness with in-hall faculty interaction
1. Students will gain self-awareness and general awareness of leadership through self-evaluation, participation in leadership development programming, examination and evaluation of leadership theories involving critical and reflective thinking.
2. Students will gain an understanding of what it means to be a part of a global community through the exploration and appreciation of differences while participating in collaborative programming and initiatives. Students will focus on personal, individual and group leadership development through activities, exercises and experiences with faculty, staff and student leaders.
3. Students will develop problem solving and conflict resolution strategies through co-curricular activities, exercises and experiences with their peers and other members of the A&T community; which directly relate to and support the academic experience.

36 year old woman | San Antonio, TX, USA | Seeking men 29-38 within 50 miles
To the world you might be one person, but to one person you might be the world.Let's see about that!
I am a fun-loving, fairly attractive and hilariouswoman. I am looking for a man that will keep me on my toes, and still treat me like he is the luckiest man in the world because he enjoys spending time with me. I am educated and want a man that I can learn something from. I can be a pain in the butt at times, so I need someone to keep me grounded. And someone that will enjoy spending time with my friends and my family, they mean the world to me. It's hard to meet new people when the majority of my days are spent working or with my married friends. I am in need of a social life, and so looking forward to meeting new people.
Dining out , Movies/Videos , Music and concerts , Volunteering
Aerobics, Baseball, Basketball, Billiards / Pool, Bowling, Running, Swimming, Walking / Hiking

I have always wanted to go on a cruise of the Greek Isles. But here in SA, I enjoy going to new places, listening to music and being able to sit around and have good conversations.
I hate shopping, can do it in 20 minutes if I know what I am looking for. I love to eat, love to watch my favorite shows and horror movies.
I enjoy hanging out with friends and family, watching movies or going bowling. I love all kinds of music, some more then others, but willing to listen and give anything a chance. Sometimes I want to just chill on the couch.
Been reading alot of psych/mental health books for my licenses, but for leisure I enjoy mysteries last book was more of a technology conspiracy book. Very interesting called The Broken Window.

Originally written on Fox Sports | Last updated 4/9/13
Jack Nicklaus loves absolutely everything about Augusta National. But being reminded how many years have elapsed since he won the first time, let alone the first time he made the drive up Magnolia Lane? Not so much. Nicklaus sat in the interview room at the Masters for an hour Tuesday, and had more than enough material for two. He grimaced when club member Ed Herlihy introduced him by saying ''he returns to Augusta National 50 years removed from his first of a record six jackets,'' and turned wistful for a moment at the end. ''I can't imagine anybody having more fun doing what I've done and getting paid for it,'' Nicklaus said, ''and also being able to sit here in front of you guys at 73 years old, so I can spout a bunch of stuff that I had no idea whether you were listening or not, or care about.'' In between, Nicklaus had that same roomful of reporters eating out of the palm of his hand. He spun so many entertaining tales about the 55 years he's been coming to Augusta that the...

Effect of an individually tailored one-year energy balance programme on body weight, body composition and lifestyle in recent retirees: a cluster randomised controlled trial

BMC Public Health 2010, 10:110 doi:10.1186/1471-2458-10-110Published: 5 March 2010
The increased prevalence of overweight and obesity warrants preventive actions, particularly among people in transitional stages associated with lifestyle changes, such as occupational retirement. The purpose is to investigate the effect of a one year low-intensity computer-tailored energy balance programme among recent retirees on waist circumference, body weight and body composition, blood pressure, physical activity and dietary intake.
A randomised controlled trial was conducted among recent retirees (N = 413; mean age 59.5 years). Outcome measures were assessed using anthropometry, bio-impedance, blood pressure measurement and questionnaires.
Waist circumference, body weight and blood pressure decreased significantly in men of the intervention and control group, but no significant between-group-differences were observed at 12 or at 24-months follow-up. A significant effect of the programme was only observed on waist circumference (-1.56 cm (95%CI: -2.91 to -0.21)) at 12 month follow up among men with low education (n = 85). Physical activity and dietary behaviours improved in both the intervention and control group during the intervention period. Although, these behaviours changed more favourably in the intervention group, these between-group-differences were not statistically significant.
The multifaceted computer-tailored programme for recent retirees did not appear to be effective. Apparently the transition to occupational retirement and/or participation in the study had a greater impact than the intervention programme.

Clinical Trials NCT00122213.

Gear Review
JP Rambo
Great case for any valuables. I use the 4x6 with my iphone and it keeps it water tight, tough to get in and out with a case on my phone (the rubber sticks to the rubber on the case, so I usually tak it off). As mentioned in a review below the case does allow you to use the touch screen on your phone or ipod touch (if it is not wet, when wet it won't work). Different sizes mean different things for different people, so this is just what I use mine for and am sure there are hundreds of other items that will work efficiently with these bags.

WALLA WALLA - Tennis fans can watch tons of talent hit the courts this weekend as the Missionary men's tennis team hosts the Whitman College Shootout at Bratton Tennis Center.
A total of seven matches, four of them involving Whitman, comprise the schedule.
Other teams in town to shoot it out are NCAA Division I Montana, NAIA powerhouse Lewis-Clark State College (LCSC) and two of Whitman's NCAA DIII rivals, University of California-Santa Cruz and George Fox.
Whitman, which lost its spring season opener two weeks ago to NCAA DI Eastern Washington, plays this weekend's first match, squaring off with LCSC at 11 a.m. Friday.
LCSC, ranked No. 20 in the NAIA Top 25 preseason poll, is off to a 3-1 start.
Friday's other match starts at 4 p.m. and pits LCSC against UC-Santa Cruz. That will be the first match of the spring season for the Banana Slugs, who are ranked No. 6 in the latest Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) poll.
On Saturday, Whitman battles Montana at 9 a.m. The Grizzlies are off to a 1-1 start after beating Idaho State in late January while losing to the University of Utah.
Montana then returns to the courts at 1 p.m. Saturday to face UC-Santa Cruz.
Whitman and the Banana Slugs wrap up Saturday action with a 6 p.m. match.
George Fox, one of Whitman's Northwest Conference rivals, gets Sunday going with an 8 a.m. match against UC-Santa Cruz.
The final match of the weekend pits Whitman and George Fox against one another at noon.
Whitman, the four-time defending NWC champion, is ranked No. 29 nationally in NCAA DIII to start the season.
Whitman is No. 6 in the West Region while UC-Santa Cruz is No. 2 in regional rankings.
Whitman's last match against the Banana Slugs came in the regional semifinals of the national championships in May of 2009. UC-Santa Cruz won that match 5-0.
Whitman also played Montana earlier that spring, losing 6-1.
Whitman played LC-State twice last season with each side posting 6-3 victories on its home court. In the two seasons previous to last year, the two teams played once each spring with Whitman prevailing 5-4 in both cases.
Sunday's match between Whitman and George Fox serves as the NWC opener for both schools.
Whitman has won its last 78 regular season matches against NWC opponents.

Can't access network... SuSE 10.1, ASUS M2N32-SLI-Deluxe (nVidia MCP55)

Can't access network... SuSE 10.1, ASUS M2N32-SLI-Deluxe (nVidia MCP55)
Like the title says...
I have a new system:
- ASUS M2N32-SLI-Deluxe motherboard, Athlon-64x2 4800
- SuSE 10.1 -- 22.214.171.124-4-smp x86_64
Yast is able to recognize and configure (static address) either/both of the onboard ethernet controllers (the mobo has two MCP55 devices). Afterward, ifconfig reports (properly) that the device is up, has its IP address and netmask, and everything is fine. The route command shows the default gateway properly.
I can ping the loopback interface successfully, and I can ping my own IP address properly. Any attempt beyond that returns a "network unreachable" error.
IP address -- 188.8.131.52, netmask 255.255.254.0 (yes, 25*4*)
default gateway -- 126.96.36.199
I have not loaded any Nvidia drivers. The forcedeth.ko module reports as being installed.
If I boot up in (boo hiss) Windows, the controller configures itself w/ DHCP (as specified) and all the network stuff works. We don't want to boot Linux w/ DHCP, but attempts at that have failed to acquire an address for the ports, in any event.
Any thoughts, hints, or ideas? I'm not sure what other info would be useful, but can gather and post it here if requested.

For some (particularly American?) reason much has been made of the fact that F. Gary Gray, a known African American, has directed a caper flick, "The Italian Job," primarily starring white people.Trust me, while watching the flick you cannot tell whether Gray has dreadlocks, a shaved head, or the chemical look without the chemicals. Neither can you tell whether he has the radiant ebony skin of some Africans or the cocoa complexion of others. Perhaps his race is irrelevant. Ya think? What is not irrelevant is Gray's substitution of a bunch of quasi Bond nonsense for a genuine caper film. Boo! Hiss! I love great caper flicks because they keep you on the edge of your seat. Who's doing what to whom? Will they get away with it? How are they going to overcome the seemingly insurmountable odds stacked against them? In the case of true caper flicks we're talking heart-pounding tension. Though Gray employs a kickin' sound track to get your heart pounding, it is the music that moves us, not the unfolding events. By definition the film ceases to be a caper flick and becomes a music video. Care for another example? Early in the film the delicious Charlize Theron No, this isn't sexist. Trust me when I tell you she was not employed for her acting craft. is shown effortlessly breaking into a safe. Though said to be virtually impregnable Stella (Theron) accomplishes the task in moments. Immediately any concerns regarding what formidable challenges may await our curvaceous safecracker are undermined by this ambience of flawless competence. Whatever it is that Stella will be called upon to accomplish, no matter how difficult the task, there is no doubt she will do it with panache and nary a trickle of perspiration. Caper flicks are supposed to make you squirm. In this case, why should you? The same undermining of the film's tension applies to its other main characters as well. Wahlberg's Charlie Croker is extolled by his mentor (played by Donald Sutherland) for having executed the perfect heist. Where is there room for squirming when confronted by perfection? Unfortunately, the answer is that for those enamored of caper flicks perfection itself induces squirming for the anxiety induced by the possibility of failure or capture is absent. Similar to the issue of how many angels can dance on the head of a pin, "The Italian Job" inadvertently poses the question, how many perfect beings can belong to the same criminal organization? Charlie and Stella are not alone. Lyle (Seth Green) is the consummate computer geek. So clich? is this character that like every other film featuring the archetype, first his boss poses the insurmountable problem, then the camera focuses first upon his fingers whizzing over the keyboard, then his ear-to-ear grin, and finally upon a graphic example of his glorious accomplishment. Nope, no squirming here. You think there's a cop in the universe that can drive as fast or overtake the elusive Handsome Rob (Jason Statham), the crew's getaway driver? "Lighten up!" you say. "It's just a feel-good flick." True, but there are limits to such indulgences. How about when the crew needs access to a vehicle driven by a comely young thing. Handsome Rob walks over to talk with her and moments later we see him climbing out of her bed. Folks, every guy dreams this sort of thing is possible; that's the purpose of a dream life. There is no tension in this sort of dream. These are the major complaints. There's lots of little stuff, nit-picky stuff, as well. Though zooming around in tweaked, brightly colored Mini Coopers with a ton of precious metal in each of their trunks, the cars are shown to land nose first after leaping over a bump. Once again, because the laws of physics do not apply credibility is lost. Another example? In one scene Los Angeles is shown to be so paralyzed by gridlock that every driver is standing beside his or her motionless car in various stages of outrage. The plot requires this. The next moment guys on motorcycles are shown tearing up the very same streets between the cars, their automobile's drivers are suddenly collectively seated and their doors conveniently closed. The plot requires this too. This is stupid. The movie is stupid. On top of this, Wahlberg can't act, Theron can't act, Green can't act, and Statham can't act. They have been chosen because their faces or personas represent youthful abandon or beauty or both. The film's targeted demographic, a music video audience, is provided an opportunity to live vicariously through these two-dimensional characters and will no doubt find the film rewarding therefore. Conversely, in addition to Donald Sutherland, Edward Norton and Mos Def can act. They're in it too. They are not called upon to act. Perhaps the director thought it might embarrass the others. To his credit, it appears Wahlberg has spent a couple of days in acting class for at one point he evinces an emotion. The same may be said of Theron. At different times it is possible to tell each of them feels sad. Upon departing fans of the genre will feel cheated, and not because the director is black but because there is more to a caper film than bright colors, devil-may-care attitudes and snappy stunts. Celluloid memories: Donald Sutherland was in one of the great caper flicks of all time: "Kelly's Heroes" (1970), directed by Brian G. Hutton. Like "The Italian Job," there's a safe full of gold bullion that our guys seek to possess but unlike the current film Kelly's crew is maximally flawed. In addition to Sutherland, the players in this at times very funny and at other times very tense film include Clint Eastwood, Telly Savalas, Carroll O'Connor, Stuart Margolin, and Harry Dean Stanton. More recently Phil Alden directed "Sneakers" (1992) starring Robert Redford, Ben Kingsley, Mary McDonnell, River Phoenix, Sidney Poitier, David Strathairn, and James Earl Jones. There's a super secret computer gizmo that everybody wants. There's lots of tension and lots of laughs. It's a caper flick done right.

It is rare to encounter a published author from the relatively recent past for which almost no biographical information can be found online. I have found such a person, in the form of a philosophy scholar by the curious and intriguing name of "St. George William Joseph Stock." Who gets named "Saint," or did he give himself that moniker? When was he born, and when did he die? Where did he live? Trying to suss out the life of this enigmatic "Saint George" is maddening.
Four of Stock's books are available as free ebooks from Google Play (and elsewhere): Attempts At Truth (1882), Deductive Logic (1888), Selections From The Septuagint: According To The Text Of Swete (1905) and Stoicism (1908). These might not sound like the most exciting reads, but could something saucier be in the offing? I found a book on Amazon called The Romance of Chastisement; or, Revelations of the School and Bedroom, by "An Expert." The pseudonym, "An Expert," was later identified as one "St. George H. Stock." St. George "H." Stock? Where did the "H"come from? Can this be the same "St. George Stock," and if not, just how many "St. George Stock"s are there floating around in the mists of lost time and forgotten history? [UPDATE: The "H" mystery has been (mostly) solved -- see comment #7, below.]
The Romance of Chastisement; or, Revelations of the School and Bedroom is arguably the most sophisticated, most literary, and most amusing mid-Victorian fictional text focusing on flagellation. A collection of short stories and verse sparkling with sexual suggestion and wit, it was first published by John Camden Hotten in 1871 in a volume bearing the false imprint date 1870. It was reprinted by Edward Avery in 1888. An earlier book with the same title was issued by William Dugdale in 1866. This work had a different sub-heading: Revelations of Miss Darcy. The Victorian bibliographer Henry Spencer Ashbee suggests that both books were written by the same author, whom he reveals to have been St. George H. Stock. Formerly a lieutenant in the 2nd or Queen's Royal Regiment, Stock issued his work originally in episodes from Dublin. Hotten purchased 200 sets from him and bound them into a single volume. St. George H. Stock also wrote the four short flagellant works that constitute Rosy Tales! (1874) and contributed to The Whippingham Papers (1888 [1887]), which are also available from Birchgrove Press.
Rosy Tales! Whippingham Papers! Could it be that a young St. George Stock, having already achieved personal sainthood, but still going by the middle initial "H" (Herbert? Hector? Haldric?), penned a smutty whip-smart book about flagellation, only to feel guilty as he grew older, for which he punished himself by flogging many books and articles about arcane corners of philosophy? This is purely speculative, mind you, but what else do I have to go on? The man's a cipher.
Other than a bunch of sites that carry the Stock ebooks, Google has nothing on this guy. I even tried the U.K. National Archives, but found no entry for Mr. Stock. Google Books has a book, The Apology of Plato, from "pre-1923," which includes an introduction by one "St. George Storck." Looks like the "storck" has brought us another Stock baby. Can't this lowly Saint get any respect?
Good old St. George Stock has even made the leap to iTunes, but you still can't find any information about who he is. Maybe I'll have to read his Attempts At Truth to get to the truth about his identity. Perhaps he's divulged it all there, in code!
Somebody please answer this question: Who was St. George William Joseph Stock? If there are any philosophers or classical scholars out there with knowledge of this vanished Victorian scholar, this missing Saint, please post it in the Comments of this blog. Perhaps together we can solve this mystery, and return St. George William Joseph Stock to the historical record, with or without his whip.
