The X-700 is a great camera, I have two of them and one I bought new in 1986 I think it was. I still use it. Your files though are too big for a dial up connection. If you want to see pics by any camera, go to Flicker and enter in something like 'taken with a Minolta X-700' and you will see pics from other 700 photographers. My camera has been in the shop once in those nearly 25 years. I have started using medium format though as the eyes are having trouble seeing through that little viewfinder on a 35mm camera. Also, my Mamiya RB67 doesn't require anything electronic so I feel they will work for many years. Since the X-700 is no longer made, parts will be hard to find in the coming years. Great camera though and mine have paid for themselves in doing some weddings and just the satisfaction of the pictures I have. I have one blown up to a 24X30 and it is super sharp. Ric.
P.S. I'm 58 and have to realize that if the cameras last me 20 years, that is probably all I will ever need.

Being weird in a good way seems like a more difficult status for artists to attain than it used to be. We can tell when you're trying too hard -- the Gaga meat dress, the Miley tongue-wags felt 'round the world -- and it's straight-up unappealing. Thanks to Ye Olde Internet, we're also genuinely harder to shock than we used to be. At the same time, the acceptable box that artists seem to need to fit into to be marketable, to achieve anything like mainstream success, feels smaller all the time.Read more »
-- The 2014 Music Video Race, the competition that pairs local bands with filmmakers for the 48-hour speed-creation of music video magic, is now accepting applications from musicians and filmmakers. The filmmaking weekend is July 11-13, and the screening/party, due to popular demand, has been upgraded to The Independent on July 20. Yours truly will be one of the judges, so, er, make this tough for me.Read more »
They still exist: big metal bands that go on old-fashioned tours, rather than exclusively playing festivals or headlining package tours (aka shows that start at 4pm and are comprised of two bands you actually want to see and five others the label shoehorns in because that's the only way they'll get exposure). Also still in existence: a band that will tour between albums, in fact hitting the road less than two months before a new album drops, and play a set that contains two new songs (to give fans a taste of what's to come), but is mostly composed of familiar back-catalogue tunes.
Not, however, still around: actual Mastodons.
No worries, dudes — Mastodon the band shows no sign of going anywhere, and based on what drummer Brann Dailor said at the end of last night's show at Oakland's Fox Theater, they'll soon be back in the Bay Area, pumping their sixth studio release, Once More 'Round the Sun, which arrives in late June. Based on the two new songs heard last night ("Chimes at Midnight" and "High Road;" stream the latter via the band's Soundcloud page, or check out the "Audio Visualizer" below the jump), your sludgy summer soundtrack awaits.

Kitten Grenade takes the ukulele seriously. Katelyn Sullivan picked up the instrument when she was lonely and unhappy in Los Angeles, jonesing to be back in San Francisco. Now the instrument adds chiaroscuro to her self-titled debut EP released this January: the lilting chords contrast her brassy voice and its message of heartbreak.Read more »

So as we speak I'm crammed between an NPR listener, a Louisiana native longing to be home for Jazz Fest, and a cool dude with lensless glasses awaiting the gospel of a Puerto Rican girl from the Bronx, who found her home in New Orleans singing mountain music. I love America.
Her name is Alynda Lee Segarra -- short, cute, Aubrey Plazaesque (but smiley) with an incredibly evocative voice not quite like anything I've heard. Read more »
Emily Ritz and Kacey Johansing aren't exactly strangers to the Bay's indie-folk scene — Johansing's second solo LP, 2013's Ghosts, has spread like lush acoustic pop wildfire around the city since its release, while Ritz is part of the Oakland-based experimental "noir pop" outfit DRMS, which put out the ambitious American 707 earlier this year, a hypnotically weird and weirdly delightful short film and accompanying soundtrack.

You might not be alone if you do a double-take when hearing José James' new single for the first time. The song, "EveryLittleThing," off the singer's forthcoming album on Blue Note Records (While You Were Sleeping, out June 10), recalls a grinding club hit more than the effortless mix of jazz and neo-soul that made him famous. It is a surprise, to say the least -- the driving, electric sound is nothing like the mellow and easy cool of his previous record, No Beginning No End, released in 2013. Read more »

There's something special about seeing the name Motörhead, umlaut and all, mounted on that grand Market Street marquee, next to a strip club and at the intersection of one of San Francisco's seediest streets.

Photos: A look at C.J. Wilson's 2011 regular season starts
Photo: AP Photo/Ben Margot
Rangers 9, A's 1, Aug. 12, 2011 (Oakland): C.J. Wilson was showered with boos in his first appearance at the Coliseum since his critical remarks, when he said he didn't like the mound or the weather in Oakland, and was critical about the attendance for A's games. "It felt like a playoff game having the whole stadium against you," Wilson said. "The funny thing was it fired me up a little bit." Wilson (11-5) allowed a run and four hits, struck out seven and walked three. (AP)

Choosing a car that is cheap to insure
Monthly insurance rates that look more like car payments kill the thrill fast.
Car insurance rates are mostly determined by who the driver is, not the car itself. But the wrong driver in the wrong car in the wrong city is a recipe for bills of epic proportions.
Choosing the right car doesn't mean we all drive minivans. It does mean looking at the cost of insuring a car before you sign on the dotted line and making insurance a part of your financial calculations.
Below you'll find the five most common questions we get from our readers about how much the types of car affects their insurance rates.
Top Car QuestionsMore Questions
Which cars are the cheapest to insure?
The boring ones.
You expected something else? Our rule of thumb: If you can rent it at an airport, it's probably cheap to insure.
But pricing is more complicated than that. The vehicle-specific portion of your rates actually hinges on its "loss history," meaning how many claims are filed on that model and how expensive those claims are to pay. The $18,000, 180-horsepower Scion TC and the $50,000, 425-horsepower Chevrolet Corvettes cost the same to insure. One is driven by teenagers, the other by middle-aged men.
One of these groups makes many more claims than the other. Guess which.
Insurers look at how often your car is stolen, how often it's wrecked, and how often people are injured in those wrecks. Many rely on a ratings number from the Insurance Services Office. The higher the number, the higher the premium. Sadly, those ratings aren't public.
Read more: Does a two-door cost more to insure than a four-door?
How can I insure a salvage title car?
Probably you'll be unable to find anyone willing to do so. No one really knows what a salvage title car is worth, making it difficult for an insurance company to value it properly so that physical damage to the car is covered. You may be able to find liability coverage.
In general, salvage title cars are for cash-rich gearheads only. Banks won't finance them, insurers won't cover their replacement cost, and they are almost impossible to resell for both those reasons.
Read more: What is a rebuilt or salvage title?
What is the average auto insurance rate?It depends on many, many factors. But location and age are two main factors, so use our average insurance rates by ZIP code and average insurance rates by age resources. You can tell whether you are paying dramatically higher or lower rates than the norm in your neighborhood or age range. The affect of age on car insurance rates levels out once you turn 25.
But averages don't reflect the details of your own car, driving history or policy. The best way to see what the rates are like for you and your car is simply to get a quote.
Read more: How much does car insurance cost, and why?
Is my brand-new car automatically covered?
If you had insurance on your trade-in, yes. The new car is covered under the terms of your old policy. If you had liability insurance before, you have only liability coverage afterward, at least until you change your policy. You're required to notify your insurance company when you switch cars, though the time limit varies by state.
If you didn't have a previous policy, you'll have to arrange for insurance before you drive away.
If you've financed the car, your bank will contact your insurance company for proof that you're covered. If they don't get it, they'll purchase a policy for you at a shockingly high price. You don't want that.
When should I take full coverage off my older car to save money?
You should stop carrying full coverage (meaning collision and comprehensive coverage) when your deductible and your physical damage coverages premium starts to equal your vehicle's actual cash value.
If you have a $500 deductible and your car's value is $3,000, then the most you can recover in a total loss is $2,500. At this point, you need to decide if it is worth it for you to pay the collision and comprehensive coverage portion of your auto insurance.
If the premium amount still makes economic sense to pay, then you should keep full coverage. If the car is worth so little you can afford to buy a replacement outright, drop full coverage.

Train Man
- Studio: Viz Pictures
- Release Date: Sep 22, 2006
- Summary: Based on a true story that has become an internet phenomenon in Japan, Train Man is about an otaku (Japanese for geek) who saves a young woman from a drunken assailant on a commuter train, and instantly falls in love with her. (Imaginasian)
- Director: Shosuke Murakami
- Genre(s): Comedy, Romance
- More Details and Credits »
Score distribution:
Positive: 1 out of 4
Mixed: 3 out of 4
Negative: 0 out of 4
Though clearly aimed at teenagers, this unashamedly heartstruck movie is neither obsessed with sex nor driven to humiliate its characters. Compared to those of the average American teen movie, its ambitions are so innocent they're almost childlike.
Adapted from a Japanese bestseller that's apparently based on true events, Train Man: Densha Otoko is a lot like its protagonist: sweet, weird, and likable despite some irritating quirks.
Director Shosuke Murakami efficiently packages the material, deftly weaving in the individual stories of Train Man's chat-room buddies and how his success also gives them courage.

What makes Bonanza so fast to sell items on?
We have made a science of studying where seconds and microseconds get spent for the average person when they go to sell an item online. Our mission is to keep the average time it takes you to post an item at 1-3 minutes by cutting out every unessential detail, and adding creative flourishes that make your life easier. Like so:
- One page to post one item. Other sites use 3-5 pages to walk you through picking a category, item location, shipping options, confirm your listing, etc., etc., etc. before your item is ready for sale. At Bonanza, there is one page, five fields, and your item is ready.
- Skip the picture uploading. By using the picture cropper or the picture guesser, it is often possible to take and upload just a few pictures to use with many items. Imagine how much time you'd save if you had to take 5 pictures to depict your 20 items, instead of 20 pictures.
- Just the essentials.Do you want that item bold? Underlined? Do you want this item to be in the gallery? At Bonanza, we say "enough already!" For the essential options (like types of payment you accept), you specify it once for all items. For non-essential options, we defer to eBay.
- Describe your item while your picture uploads. When you're creating an item on Bonanza, you can describe it at the same time the picture for it uploads, saving yourself from waiting idly for those 10 seconds, or...
- Shorter descriptions can be OK. Post an item for sale with a three sentence description on another site and people assume you have something to hide. Post it with a three sentence description on Bonanza and they assume that you did a good job of posting stuff quick.
What's more, when all your stuff is posted together on Bonanza, you're in the perfect position to sell multiple itemsif a buyer finds one thing of yours that they were looking for.

I have a (string, object) dictionary, object (class) has some values including data type which is defined by enum. I need a GetItemValue method that should return dictionary item's value. So return type must be the type which is defined in item object.

What kind of solution can overcome this problem?

Welcome to the start of a new age for Triumvir. Needless to say the last couple of years have been difficult to navigate. The discussions of laying down our flag or to push forward was not uncommon. I can honestly say it truly was the community here that gave us a reason to continue. I know there's lots of speculation on what happened and we've always been a shadowy entity with probably more questions than answers. That being said we owe some form of explanation to you. The simple version is we mismanaged the business of running a brand (important lesson for anyone starting a brand) and got into debt along with big changes in our collective personal lives which made it impractical to continue.
We've recently settled our debt issues so Triumvir is now free and clear again and I'm happy to report we were able to achieve this while maintaining our independence as a business. We are still 333% independently operated by a few people in a garage somewhere out there.
I know many were hoping for a full return but that is not possible at this point and we didn't want to keep you waiting. To help bring Triumvir back in full it will take the collective support through word of mouth and purchases. For the time being Triumvir will only be sold through our own online store. To maintain our independence we and not take investor monies it will take all of us.
So without further rhetoric, go here to start your journey with us all over again.

David Roberts Becomes 2015 Late Model Track Champion
By: Reese Fant GPS Staff Writer
When Simpsonville's David Roberts won his first Greenville-Pickens Speedway track championship, back in 2007, it took him days, maybe even weeks , for the impact of what he accomplished to hit him.
When he nailed down his second title Saturday night, Roberts had his plan all worked out, and he came within one car of having the perfect plan.
Since his major competition decided not to race Roberts was already assured of seeing 2015 painted on the Wall of Champions beneath his name. With that done, and all of the racing over, Roberts and his son were looking at the Wall as they headed back to Simpsonville. He pointed out, "There are a lot of two-time winners, but three-time winners seemed to be in a special class," Roberts said. "I told him I was never going to get to where Marty Ward and Donnie Bishop are, at six titles each, and Buddy Howard is up there with four straight.
"I laughed and told him that in order to catch up completely, all I have to do is win five straight years."
Roberts doesn't think that is going to happen. But next year he plans to have some new equipment to be ready for a full season. "I've got two cars. One for Greenville Pickens, and one for Anderson (Speedway) " Roberts said
"We are going to start next year just like every year. We are going to show up racing as hard as we can and see where we go in the points. We do that every year."
On the night of his first title, Roberts arrived at the track knowing all he had to do was start and he had the crown, but he went on to win that race.
Saturday night, 75 of the 100-lap race were complete Roberts had a plan but he just couldn't control one other car.
I was sitting last in the field when we were getting ready to finish the race," and I had it all worked out. I had been just riding, taking care of my tires, said on the restart I was all set to charge to the front for the win."
But things don't always work out. Kason Plott had taken care of his tires, too, and just after the restart he hooked Tasha Kummer and had her almost sideways, and Roberts had to wait to get around. That put Plott too far out front to catch, so Plott won and Roberts finished second.
"That's all right," Roberts said after the race. There were three bonuses awarded during the race, and I won one of them."
With Plott winning and Roberts second, Ryan Walker took third with Ralph Carnes and Tasha Kummer in fourth and fifth, respectively.
Taylor Strickland, Cody Haskins, Emilee Riley, Rodney Howard and Andrew Cordell completed the field.
For the first 75 laps, Rodney Howard had the car nobody could catch. It was like he had his own zip code. He would just jump out to sometimes as much as a straight away lead but cautions kept bunching the field back up.
But for the last 25-lap segment, Howard's tires gave up and he quickly went from the point to being just one car removed from the tail end of the field.
Jason McGrew took the victory in the Pure/Street Stock main event, and Freddy Hale, Jr., nailed down the division championship with his seventh-place finish. Spencer Darnell was second, followed by Charlie Meinders, Jimbo Mann and Jamie McCall. Michael Webster was sixth, followed by Hale, with AJ Davis, Hank Hutto, Ashley Granata, John Cordell and Ray Mullinax completing the field.
It was the 4 Cylinder division that provided the night's fireworks, as usual, with plans of swapping cars, having blockers, and planned accidents being in the wind.
Problem was, the division championship had come down to a 10-point margin, with Don Tavernia on top of Michael Cross. As soon as the race started, there was an accident. Cross had came from the rear, and ended up being disqualified for actions detrimental to stock car racing.
The event was stopped while Cross and another team car were asked to leave the track.
In the midst of all this, Danny Esco worked his way to the front and took the checkered flag for his first race win. Don Tavernia was second and Robert Hall third. Casey Burnett was forth, followed by Chris Burkett and Chad Redding. Neil Meeks, Casey Finley, Tee Pittman and Brian Messer completed the top ten.
Sandra Tavernia, Manuel Molleda Barry Gonsalves Travis Barbare and Joshua Thompson were the next five, with Jack Hooper, Travis Shelton, Chad Tavernia and Michael Cross completing the field.
It was the Sams Club show in Super Renegades, with Tim Sams nailing down his 13th victory of the season. Son Josh was second and Ricky Stephens third.
These three drivers have won every Super Renegade race this season, with Tim at 13 wins, Josh and Stephens each had three victories.
Andy Norris was fourth, followed by Steve Kelley, Stanley Pressley, Danny Gilbert and James Johnson.
In Renegades, Brad Burns took the victory and Bobby Emory was named the division champion. Shane Hill finished second in the race, followed by Alexx Brezeale, Emory, and Parker Jameson in fifth. Larry Nabors was sixth, followed by Scotty Tyner. Blake Galloway, Michael Thompson Daniel Jameson, Greg Manley, Joe Allen, Marvin Hooper and Eric Ellison.
Todd Gilliland Becomes Youngest Driver to Win LMS Event at GPS
By: Reese Fant, GPS Staff Writer
A native of Sherrill's Ford, N.C., and only 15-years-old, Todd Gilliland made big news not long ago when he became the youngest driver ever to win an ARCA race. He had been 15, and eligible to race in the series, only two days when he saw the checkered flag wave.
Saturday night at Greenville-Pickens Speedway, Gilliland made even bigger news.
He became the youngest driver ever to win a Late-Model Stock Main event at the historic half mile.
His victory wasn't easy, and it wasn't really apparent to the many race fans who watched the 100-lap special event.
Gilliland, who is a third-generation driver, is the son of David Gilliland, who is currently racing in NASCAR's top division, and the grandson of Butch Gilliland, who competed in both Cup and Winston West racing.
And Saturday night's victory was anything but easy. Throughout the 100-lap event, Gilliland kept his Ford right at the front of the pack, but not in front. He was running second much of the race, staying very close but unable to pass the car that eventually took the checkered flag.
But the other car's victory did not stand. The first caution flag of the race came when a race car dropped a 58-pound chunk of lead in the middle of the first turn, and at the end of the race, the winner's car was 58 pounds light.
Then, when tech officials were going to check the engines on the top three cars, that driver's car owner declined to participate in the inspection.
His disqualification put Gilliland in Victory Lane, and by winning, he replaced Trey Gibson, who had owned the title of being the youngest GPS winner.
The win by Gilliland, and his own second-place finish, gave Simpsonville's David Roberts a push towards his second GPS driving championship.
Roberts has led the points standings most of the season and with only one regular Late-Model Stock race scheduled before Championship Night, Roberts still has a strong grip on retaining the championship.
Jeremy Burns finished third, with Cody Haskins in fourth. Brandon Fox was fifth and Ryan Walker took sixth.
Emilee Riley was seventh, ahead of Dylan Hall, Kason Plott, and Dale Dove.
Jamie Tate followed Dove, with Andrew Cordell, Rodney Howard Roger Powell, Tasha Kummer and Eric Stokes completed the field.
There was one other unexpected disqualification during the evening's races. The car that took the checkered flag in the renegade main event were deemed to have an undersized torque converter . This DQ vaulted Parker Jameson into the winner's circle. Shane Hill was second and Brad Burns took third. Alexx Brazeale and Bobby Emory were fourth and fifth, respectively.
Larry Nabors, Colt Smith, Wendell Smith, Daniel Jameson and Greg Manley completed positions sixth through 10 and Matt Hale, Black Gregory, Eddie Ray, Roger Ellison and Terry Hawthorne rounded out the field.
The Super Renegade main turned back into the Sams Show, as Tim Sams took his 12th checkered flag of the season in 17 starts. Son Josh Sams, finished third as Joe Satterfield was second. Phillip Peters was fourth, Danny Gilbert fifth and Chris Meinders sixth.
Jason McGrew collected his seventh victory of the year in Pure/Street Stock and Michael Mote finished second. Chris Harvell was third and Michael Webster was fourth. Freddy Hale, Jr., finished fifth as Ray Mullinax, Hank Hutto, Charlie Meinders, Ashley Granata and AJ Davis rounded out the field.
In Four Cylinders, Travis Shelton grabbed the victory with Michael Cross in second. Danny Esco, Chad Tavernia were third and fourth, respectively and Don Tavernia was fifth.
Isaac Powell, Chad Redding, Manuel Molleda, Barry Gonsalves,Sandra Tavernia and Casey Finley completed the field.
Greenville-Pickens Speedway's next event is scheduled for September 12th, 2015.

David Roberts Takes the Checkered at GPS
Johnny Cordell started it, David Roberts kept it going, and Travis Shelton added his style to the mix. Steve Guthrie put the polish to the evening, and Josh Sams showed how to end the evening in style.
We are talking a combination of experience and domination here, race fans. The combination was so thick it may have been running out of the historic half mile oval and into Reedy River back behind the third turn wall.
Johnny Cordell, driving a Chevrolet painted to look like one of the famous Butch Lindley cars, even down to the number, worked his way to second place in the Pure/Street Stock opener and on the last lap pulled the tried and true little nudge with the chrome horn to get the car in front out of shape, then driving by to take the checkered flag.
That's what Cordell did, and he did it to another true veteran of stock car racing, Jimbo Mann.
Did we mention that Cordell's in his 70's, and has been racing at GPS off and on since the 60's when the track was dirt?
Cordell put special win number one right into the Bryan Double Aught Ramey Trial Lawyers Victory Lane, then sat back to watch David Roberts keep it going.
Roberts, a veteran who has both dirt track and asphalt track championship trophies, has been fighting, and leading, a tense battle for the 2015 Track Championship all season, and when he was on the front row, outside, to start the 50-lap main, everyone knew his Mustang was going to be strong. The green flag fell, and Roberts had command of things going into the first turn. It was that fast.
Through a number of caution flags and restarts, Roberts did the same thing, over and over, and led the race from start to finish.
Every lap.
While there was some very intense racing going on through the pack, Roberts just kept on moving out front, again, to lock up his second track championship. Although the actual numbers weren't in, Roberts had a good lead going into the race, and his closest competitor, Trey Gibson, finished third, with Dylan Hall finishing second.
I need to thank Lee McCall, because he helped give us a true hot rod tonight, Roberts said in the Double Aught Victory Lane. "We had a tough car and it handled like a dream."
This is Roberts' second championship. He first put his name on the Wall of Champions in 2007.
After Roberts' victory, Steve Guthrie, who had thought he was going to spend a quiet evening with the family, drove his new Monte Carlo from the back to the front to win the Renegade race.
Guthrie and his group were parked outside the second turn fence, ready to cook out and watch some racing, when he got the word from his car owner, Larry Campbell that 'strongly encouraged' him to go home, get ole number 9, and get back to the track.
By the time Guthrie got back, he had missed qualifying, the National Anthem, and was told to start shotgun on the 13-car field
That's right. Dead last.
He wasn't told to stay there, though, and by the time the field made it to the first turn of the first lap, Guthrie was running seventh. It didn't take long before Guthrie was knocking on the back door of leader Bobby Emory, who was the race leader. Then Guthrie went on by for the lead.
How's that for a cookout treat?
"I didn't feel any pressure," Guthrie said after the win. I got a good start at working through the field on the first lap and just kept moving forward."
Then it was Travis Shelton's turn to show his stuff in the 4-cylinder main. And show it he did. Shelton brought home the win, making it four wins in the last five races.
Shelton started shotgun on the field, in 15th place, and won.
The evening's nightcap had to be a blockbuster to keep things going, and Team Sams was up to the task. While father Tim Sams has been dominant all season and leading the points race, son Josh has been getting stronger and stronger as the season goes along.
Josh Sams had complete control of the race; from start to finish, while three of his best competitiors all went out on the same lap.
Chris Meinders and Randy
Stephens both had engine problems at the same time, on lap 8, while Tim Sams was busy losing a front wheel. Josh drove right on into Victory Lane.
With Roberts, Hall and Gibson taking the top three spots in the Late-Model race, Cody Haskins took fourth and Chad McCumbee was fifth. Rodney Howard was sixth and Ryan Walker took seventh. Luke Sorrow, Ralph Carnes, and Kason Plott rounded out the top ten.
Tasha Kummer, Roger Powell, Kres Vandyke and Andrew Cordell completed the field.
With Cordell and Jimbo Mann taking the two top spots in Pure/ Street Stock, Jason McGrew was third and Jamie McCall was fourth. Fred Hale was fifth and Michael Webster took sixth. Chris Meinders, Ashley Granata, AJ Davis and Hank Hutto rounded out the top ten David Thonton and Connie Cepek completed the field.
Points leader Bobby Emory was second to Guthrie in the Renegades and Brad Burns was third. Blake Gregory was fourth and Larry Nabors was sixth. Parker Jameson, Michael Thompson, Daniel Jameson and Gregg Manley were in the top ten, and Marvin Hooper, Blake Galloway and Alelxx Brazeale followed.
With Shelton's win in the 4 Cylinders, Chris Harvell was second and Casey Burkett was third. Chad Tavernia took fourth and Derek Fowler was fifth. Danny Esco took sixth, ahead of Travis Barbare, Michael Cross, Don Tavernia and Manuel Molleda.
Barry Gonslaves was 11th, followed by Chad Redding, Sandra Tavernia, Jack Hooper and Brian Messer.
With Josh Sams being dominant, Phillip Peters was second and James Johnson was third in the Super Renegades. Danny Gilbert and TJ Johnson were fourth and fifth, respectively, while Andy Norris was sixth. Stanley Pressley, Scott Mann, Chris Meinders and Ricky Stephens completed the top ten. Tim Same was eleventh and Steve Kelley was twelfth.

Shane Gentry Race Night at the Historic Half Mile
By Reese Fant, GPS Staff Writer
When Greenville-Pickens Speedway promoter Anthony Anders decides to pitch a Benefit Race for a worthy cause, he pitches a terrific evening.
And when Shane Gentry gets an entire race thrown for him, he is just as terrific at accepting the honor.
All in all, the Shane Gentry Race at the historic half mile was an evening race fans won't soon forget.
Back in the early part of this season, Gentry was a regular racer at GPS, running his black 8 in the Pure/Street Stock division. But it wasn't anything new or unusual for Gentry.
He's been a race car driver for decades, and owns Charger championships. Years ago, he was so good at winning the big races, GPS Marketing Director at the time started calling him 'Big Show' because every time the track held a big race, there was Gentry standing in Victory Lane.
He's been Big Show ever since, and won races earlier this season. But Gentry noticed something happening a few months ago he knew wasn't usual.
Gentry, started noticing he was having some problems with his right side that he didn't think was right, so he went in for a checkup. That checkup led to another, and then tests were run. The results of these tests weren't something the Gentry family was hoping for.
Gentry was suffering a form of cancerous brain tumor that is treatable, but not curable. Gentry, never one to just sit around and wait on something, decided he needed to call in the big guns. He needed to add horsepower to his treatment, so he got in touch with both Emory University Hospital and Duke University Hospital, and was seeking a second opinion.
"I can just stay here and take the treatments, and doctors could patch me up, but I really think the doctors at Duke can fix me" Gentry said.
So when Anders heard, he decided to do something special.
He offered a percentage of every ticket to go to the Gentry family and collected of stock car memorabilia to be sold in a silent auction during the race.
And the very first race of the evening saw Gentry's car sitting on the front row, inside, to start the evening's show.
Gentry wasn't in it, he was sitting in a golf cart, watching, as his best friend, neighbor, and engine builder drove the car. No, there weren't three other drivers, all of these just happen to be Greg Dodgens. Who also knows a thing or two about how to get around GPS in winning form. Dodgens jumped out front when the green flag fell, and he just drove off and left the competition. In Victory Lane, Dodgens commented on what an honor it was to be able to drive his friend's racer in this combination.
Jason McGrew appeared several times to be pulling up to Dodgens, but was never able to get close enough to challenge for the victory. Spencer Darnell finished third, with Jimbo Mann fourth and Freddy Hale, Jr., finishing fifth.
Ashley Granata was sixth and Matthew Lockee was seventh. AJ Davis was eighth, with Ray Mullinax and Charlie Meinders rounded out the top 10th. Tommy Davis, Jr., was 11th.
Trey Gibson added another victory to his Late-Model Stock string by finishing ahead of Jeremy Burns. Gibson, already the youngest driver ever to win a Late-Model Stock race at GPS, notched another win. Gibson finished ahead of his aunt, Tasha Kummer and points leader, David Roberts, finished fourth . Kason Plott was fifth.
Ryan Walker took sixth, with Andrew Cordell was seventh. Emilee Riley was eighth, as Rodney Howard and Jamie Tate rounded out the top ten.
Jamie Tate, Brandon Fox and Jeremy Drummond rounded out the field.
There was an extra full slate of cars for the Renegade race, with Greg Darnell taking the win and Blake Gregory finishing second. Steve Guthrie was third and Bobby Emory took fifth. lake Galloway was sixth with Alex Brazeale seventh. Scotty Tyner, Shane Hill Larry Nabors rounded out the top ten.
Colt Smith was 11th, followed by Daniel Jameson, Parker Jameson, Wendell Smith and Brandon Segare in the top 15. Roger Ellison, Greg Manley, Chris Meinders, Brad Burns David Cepek and Troy Carnes completed the field.
Tim Sams worked his way back into Victory Lane in the Super Renegade race, with Andy Norris taking second. Danny Gilbert was third with James Johnson, Joe Satterfield, and Josh Sams completed the field.
In 4 Cylinders, Travis Shelton was the winner, with Michael Cross in second and Don Tavernia was third. Danny Esco was fourth and Chad Tavernia took fifth. Isaac Powell was seventh and Manuel Molleda, Travis Barbare, and Barry Gonsalves rounded out the top ten.
Derek Fowler, Michael Posey , Sandra Tavernia and Jack Hooper were the final four cars.
This Saturday night the historic half mile holds a regular Late-Model Stock program, with racing in all divisions before welcoming back the Southeastern Supertruck Series on August 8th.
Southeast Super Truck at Greenville-Pickens Speedway
By Reese Fant, GPS Staff Writer
The innovations, the completely new aspects of stock car racing, Greenville-Pickens Speedway style, continue to come wave after wave. Race fans at the historic half mile NASCAR oval show up week after week, never knowing what near promoter Anthony Anders has planned to make each race program both a surprise and a success.
Saturday night the Southeast Super Truck Series visited and while fans came expecting to see a good show, they had to be especially thrilled at several unusual things that happened during the evening.
The Southeast Super Truck Series is a traveling division in racing, going from one track to another to establish a series winner at the end of the season. While there are always drivers entered from throughout the country, it's usually the local drivers, the standout veterans of years and years, that put on the show for the fans.
Saturday night, it was local driver and former track champion Randy Porter who showed the quick way to get around the track. But while Porter was proving he was the class of the field, there were plenty of complications.
With the Southeast Trucks, according to the qualifying times, a top driver with good equipment can complete three laps in just a few seconds over a minute. That's THREE LAPS in just over ONE MINUTE.
Break that down, and it comes to something like a 90 mile per hour average.
A 75 lap race without a caution period, should be completed in something like 30 minutes.
Such was not to be for this race.
While Porter was flexing his muscle, several other local guys, both with considerable power, were battling for the top spot.
Another former track champion, Kenneth Headen, was also right there at the front, along with Tim Lollis.
The caution flag flew two-thirds of the way through the race, and fans were stunned to see Kenneth Headen, who was not involved in the accident, to go roaring into the garage area, At the same time, Headen's support team was desperately trying to get the attention of the ambulance, as hard as they could.
Headen had spent most of last week in the hospital with blood pressure problems, and while friends and fans were asking him not to race, he was right there in the car. As one huge fan of racing said, "Racers are going to race, no matter what. That's what we love about them."
While EMS technicians were working with Headen, another driver suddenly collapsed. It was exhaust fumes that overcame this driver, and the race was on hold until the situations were resolved. Headen was not able to continue the race.
Porter had started the race on the pole, with Headen directly behind him, and Lollis right there too.
At the end, it was Porter in Victory Lane, and Lollis placing second. Lee Tissot was third, and area driver Jamie Tate was fourth. Kevin Leight took fifth.
Porter, always gracious in Victory Lane, talked about how good the race was at the start, when everyone was fighting hard for position, "The last time we raced here, I started eighth, and tonight I had an amazing truck. I have to thank the people who work on it, constantly, to make it what it is. Kenneth and Lollis were both up on the wheel and it really was a good race.." Porter said he was having leg cramps near the end, and was glad it was just 75 laps instead of a longer race. And he ended his comments with heartfelt concern that Kenneth was going to be OK.
Luke Sorrow was sixth and Tal Davidson seventh. Cole Glasson took eighth, and Austin Northcott as ninth, Ricky Bowers was tenth.
The next five finishers were Dakota Slagle, Bennie Davis, Houston Sullivan, Ed Surrett, and Tony Black.
Shawn McIntyre was 16th, in front of Headen, with Terry Seay, Keith Norville, Jamie Alton and Pete Porter completed the field.
Although the Southeast Super Truck travel with their own supporting divisions, the Legends race was also dominated by a local driver.
Greg Porter, a popular GPS veteran, brought out his Candy-Apple Red Chevelle and drove it right into Victory Lane. "I won 36 races in '77 and '76 with a car identical to this one, and then I sold it to Jimbo Mann, who won 16 or 18 races with it. He sold it to Doug Noe, who also made regular trips to Victory Lane driving that car," Porter said.
It was the Renegades race that was really drawing all of the pre-race attention, as promoter Anthony Anders had posted a terrific purse for the top three positions.
Through 35 laps of intense racing, Eddie Ray took the checkered flag with Greg Darnell in second and Brad Burns in third. Points-leader Bobby Emory finished fourth and Alexx Brezeale in fifth.
Parker Jameson was sixth and James Johnson was seventh. Jackie Foster, Colt Smith and Blake Gregory rounded out the top ten.
Larry Nabors, Wendell Smith, Daniel Jameson, Roger Ellison and Greg Manley completed the top 15, and Steve Guthrie Shane Hill, Dale Stancil, Shawn Campbell, Brad Davis and Joe Allen completed the field.
For much of the race, Steve Guthrie, who had debuted a completely new car, was the class of the field, jumping out front and racing along without any problems whatsoever. But, two-thirds of the way through the event, there was a planned caution period where crews would have two minutes to make adjustments for the final dash at the money.
When it came time to restart the race, Guthrie's car would not start, and since it had an automatic transmission, it was not possible to push him off. So Guthrie, instead of continuing with his dominating performance, had to be pushed into the pits, where he praised the efforts of the GPS employees for their efforts at trying to get his car restarted.
In Victory Lane, Eddie Ray said, "I saw the name Travelers Rest on a map, and I told myself I had to live there. I do, too, and tonight is my greatest race, ever. I need to thank my dad and Rabbit, for helping me get the car where it is right now. This is my very first victory, and I will never, ever forget it."
Spencer Darnell was the winner in the Pure Street Stock division, and Freddy Hale, Jr. placed second. Michael Webster was third, with Hank Hutto, Ashley Granata, and Jason McGrew rounding out the field.
Jason Leatherwood was the winner in the Southeast Super Trucks support division, with Fredy Sawyer second. Steve Carver was third, and TJ Lollis fourth. Scott Franklin was fifth, Clint Watkins sixth, and Nick Thunder seventh. Gregory Burgess Danny Gilbert and Greg Bohanan rounded out the division.
Regular Late-Model Stock racing returns to Greenville-Pickens Speedway on Saturday, the 15th, with a 150-lap program scheduled.
After this race, only two Late-Model Stock races are scheduled. They are on Saturday Sept. 12th, and Championship Night on Sept 19, when the 2015 Track Champion will be crowned.
Former champion David Roberts took the point lead early and has maintained it all season. He has a slim lead over Trey Gibson as the season rapidly winds down. Crowning the champion, complete with the wall painting ceremony, is one of the highlights of the season.

Ryan Walker Takes First Victory at GPS
By Reese Fant
GPS Staff Writer
It was a show of practically total domination in the Late-Model Stock main event Saturday night at Greenville-Pickens Speedway.
Ryan Walker, driving the race car that Bob Root started the season racing, led from start to finish, and was never threatened, to capture his first ever LMS victory.
Walker and his race crew had everything planned just right, up until the moment he arrived in Victory Lane and GPS flag man Mark Turner asked him how it felt to capture his first win.
There was silence for a moment, before Walker said, simply, "I really don't know what to say," an answer the GPS spectators loved and one that endeared him to the entire track.
Then Walker pulled himself together after the emotional win, and added, "The car was a handful to drive. The last 25 laps, (Of the 50-lap event) I had to concentrate every second to hit all my marks and not mess up."
When Turner asked about the possibility of being run down and passed in the latter stages, "Walker said he never looked back at there any of the other cars were, but just kept driving his own race, Then he thanked Bob Root, saying 'I just can thank him enough. I want to thank everyone who worked on the car, who had anything to do with the car.
"This is the third straight race I've been inverted to start on the pole position," Walker said. "I just wanted to make sure I drove my race car and didn't let anything happen."
What Walker didn't know, what anyone couldn't know, was the cars that appeared to finish second and third, which are also the first and second cars in the ALMS points standings, were both disqualified. The second-place car was thrown out due to the suspension, and the third-place finisher had a problem with the fuel not passing.
Since every driver is allowed to not count two races, the points battle is actually closer than it appears, but since both the first and second place drivers in the points were penalized, and there are only five LMS races scheduled before Championship Night, in mid-September, unless the leader has another bad race, he has a substantial lead.
The disqualifications put Kyle Plott in second, with Jamie Tate third and Kres Vandyke fourth. Tasha Kummer, having her best season, ever, sits in third place in the points and was fifth.
Kason Plott was sixth and Rodney Howard took seventh. It was his first race in a new car. Andrew Cordell was eighth, with Dale Dove ninth and TJ Lollis finished tenth.
TJ Lollis, The son of veteran racer Tim Lollis, drove a good race for his first time out, showing the talent in the Lollis family doesn't all belong to the dad. Kyle Barnes was 11th, and Matt Lockee in 12th. Trey Gibson was credited with 13th and David Roberts finished 14th.
Midway through the evening's program, GPS promoter Anthony Anders made a special announcement that delighted the entire track.
Since the Wheels of Destruction and 4-Cylinder Enduro is the program for Greenville-Pickens on the 18th, Anders announced that on July 25th, on a regular show program, he is giving $2 of every admission to the fund for the Gentry family as they fight this battle against cancer.
Veteran race car driver Shane 'Big Show' Gentry has been diagnosed with grade 4* glioblastoma. He is starting chemo and radiation therapies and will be going to Duke University Hospital for additional diagnosis and treatment. This is a treatable form of cancer, but at this time there is no cure.
There was a celebration for the Gentry Friday night at their home in Easley, which had a terrific turnout.
"Let's call it the 'Shane Gentry Show' , Anders said.
Veteran racer Gentry earned the nickname, 'Big Show' back when it seemed he always won the races when special programs were being held.
There was a special program for the Renegade division where two 15-lap main events were staged, and Greg Darnell was the winner of the first race. Blake Gregory was second, with Brad Burns taking third. Bobby Emory was fourth and Alexx Brezeale fifth.
Parker Jameson was sixth, with Daniel Jameson in seventh. Colt Smith took eighth with Brandon Ellison and Connie Cepek rounding out the top 10. Greg Manley and Chris Meinders completed the field.
In the second main event Alexx Brezeale took the checkered flag with Darnell in second. Blake Galloway was third and Brad Burns took fourth. Chris Meinders was fifth. It was Brezeale's first victory in the division. Colt Smith was sixth and Daniel Jameson took seventh. Brandon Ellison, David Cepek, and Gregg Manley rounded out the top 10.
Bobby Emory, Blake Gregory and Parker Jameson completed the field.
The most trouble Tim Sams had in the Super Renegade race was getting by his son, Josh. The division points leader said he felt bad for his son with he was able to pass, adding how hard they had worked on the son's car. "At least somebody in the family won," Sams said. Jimbo Mann was third with Stanley Pressley fourth. Danny Gilbert was fifth.
Andy Norris, Ricky Stephens, James Johnson and Joe Satterfield rounded out the field.
In the 4-cylinder main, veteran Buck Simmons showed his dominance, finishing ahead of Michael Cross and Donnie Tavernia. Danny Esco and Joshua Thomason were fourth and fifth, respectively. Isaac Powell, Chad Tavernia, Manuel Molleda, Barry Gonsalves and Sandra Tavernia rounded out the top 10. Casey Finley was 11th.
Jason McGrew took the win in the Pure Street Stock main, finishing ahead of Spencer Darnell. Michael Webster was third, with Fred Hale and Chris Harvell were fourth and fifth, respectively. Ray Mulinax, AJ Davis, and Chris Meinders rounded out the division.
Randy Porter Wins Doug Noe Memorial Race
When the dust settled, the fantastic fireworks display ended and things got dark and quiet at the historic half-mile Greenville-Pickens Speedway on Saturday night, the Family Reunion was over and former two-time track champion Randy Porter was the happiest trucker loading up and heading home.
The race, called the Doug Noe Memorial Race, had all of the trappings of a Family Reunion on a true American Holiday. And as usual at some Family Reunions, there were a few heated discussions among relatives.
While the racing in all six divisions seemed exciting, there was almost as much passing done in the Tech Shed, during Post-race inspections, as there was on the track.
Former two-time GPS track champion Randy Porter came out on top of the biggest discussion, after the Southeastern Super Truck Series main event.
The holiday race was named in honor of former GPS friend and race car driver Doug Noe, whose life was cut short by tragic illness, and one of his racers was on prominent display. Super Trucks from all over came to compete, but it turned out to be a family affair.
The former champion who jumped out and led the most laps, appeared dominant throughout, and took the checkered flag without much trouble, just couldn't make it through the tech shed for the post-race inspection. Rumor had it the car's fuel was a touch too powerful, causing the disqualification, but this is unofficial. The only official thing known is, his visitor was taken away and the win presented to another GPS former champion, Randy Porter.
Porter, who was competing in a Chevrolet truck, was vocal in Victory Lane about how much faster the apparent winner was, who was driving a Ford. And, second-place finisher Tim Lollis, who also competes in a Chevrolet, said he, too, was going to have to look into a Ford product due to the apparent horsepower advantage on the straightaways.
But in the end, due to the disqualification, it turned into a July 4th celebration for the local guys and Chevy. With Porter taking the win, and Lollis finishing second, third-place went to another local driver, Jamie Tate, and it wasn't until Lee Tissot was credited with fourth place that one of the regular traveling series cars finished.
Cole Glasson was fifth, with Tal Dawson sixth and Luke Sorrow seventh. Local racer Jamie Altop was eighth, with Ed Surrett and Dalton Slagle rounding out the top ten.
Ricky Bowers, Houston Sullivan, Danick Coomer, Kevin Leicht and Pete Porter made the top 15. Zach Franks was 16th, and Shawn McIntyrre was 17th. Former GPS track champion Kenneth Headen was credited with 18th.
The Family Reunion theme held through the Southeastern Super Stock series, part of the traveling Super Truck racing package.
Local racer Nick Thunder showed dominance in this event, working his way through the field to take thc checkered flag. He handily outran Steven Carver, with Jason Leatherwood taking third. Jerry Bryant was fourth and Sawyer Frady was fifth. Clint Watkins and Danny Gilbert completed the field.
In the Carolina Vintage division, Johnny O'Neil was the winner and Greenville's own Greg Porter took second.
Competing in his classic Camaro, Porter raced second most of the event, then came storming up at the end to try and get around O'Neil, but the checkered flag seemed to come out just one lap too soon for Porter to catch the victor.
Chuck Thorne was third, with Phil Terry and Hutch Webb rounding out the top five. Roger Sams was sixth, Joe Evans seventh, and Duffy Sums seventh and Howard Scruggs took eighth.
The most dominant racer in the Renegade division, going for his ninth win of the year, had problems in the Tech Shed, following the event, and the victory went to points leader Bobby Emory. Greg Darnell was second and Eddie Ray took third. Jackie Foster was fourth and Blake Gregory took fifth. Blake Galloway was sixth, with Larry Nabors, Daniel Jameson, Parker Jameson and Michael Thompson rounding out the top ten. Alexx Brezeale was eleventh, followed by Wendell Smith, Gregg Manley, Brandon Ellison, Jack Hall, Connie Cepek and Colt Smith.
The apparent winner of the Pure/Street Stock race refused a protest, and the victory went to Spencer Darnell. Fred Hale was second, and Ray Mullinax finished third. Ashley Granata took fourth and AJ Davis was fifth. Jason McGrew was sixth with Charlie Meinders seventh. Hank Hutto and Michael; Webster were eighth and ninth, respectively.
It was the second-place car, not the winner, that was disqualified in the Four Cylinder, Front Wheel Drive race, with Don Tavernia taking the hard-fought victory. Michael Cross was second, and Isaac Powell was third. Joshua Thomason took fourth and Chad Tavernia was fifth. Barry Gonsalves, Manuel Molleda, Sandy Tavernia and Tommy Davis Junior completed the field in the race.

MOUNT PLEASANT — Nearly a dozen teacher and teacher aide positions would be eliminated under the school district's $51 million budget proposal.
While the Mount Pleasant school district's spending plan for 2012-13 cuts spending by about 1 percent, or $390,000, the tax levy the total amount of property taxes collected would rise 2.4 percent to $45.2 million.
The tax rate would increase by 2.9 percent, to $1,086.22 per $1,000 of assessed home value.
The state's new tax levy cap limits increases to 2 percent but allows districts to exclude certain expenses, including some pension costs. The tax rate is not capped and can rise higher.
Superintendent Susan Guiney said the district made $1.5 million in cuts to keep the district within the cap.
The district plans to cut 10 teacher aides and nearly two teaching positions through layoffs or attrition, saving nearly $500,000, Guiney said. A first grade section would also be eliminated because of declining enrollment, she said.
"Any time you're working with fewer staff or reducing services, there is going to be an impact," Guiney said. "We'll be trying to do more with less."
A retirement incentive is being offered, which could save nearly $200,000. Other planned cuts: $300,000 from reduced out-of-district special education placements, $164,000 by reducing its fleet by one bus and $73,000 by slashing teacher training, among others.
"There really is no more fat now," Guiney said.
Guiney said despite the cuts, the district plans to add a life skills course to its special education program at Westlake High School. The addition, which includes hiring two special education teachers, would allow more autistic and other disabled students to continue studies within the district.
The course would teach special education students skills needed for independence, including looking for and applying for jobs.
Voters will decide on the budget May 15.

Hi Laurent, It's normal for shutter to retract when magazine is removed (as safety measure). When you put magazine back to the body, then press button in middle of advance crank and advance. That way you are not waisting one frame of the film, but be sure that you keep dark slide in magazine until shutter is in cocked position.
Sorry, no idea about your second question. Sounds strange??? Are you talking about button with red dot in the middle of advancing crank? After exposure you should be able to advance film with out any additional operations or button pressing.
And sometime that huge shutter will be not retracted and it's scary feeling, especially knowing that is now almost impossible to fix it.

Canonical Announces Ubuntu Smartphones
Phone vendor partnerships bring Mark Shuttleworth's dream of Ubuntu on a phone a step closer to reality.
Canonical crossed a major hurdle in its effort to enter the mobile arena with the announcement that two mobile phone makers have agreed to manufacture Ubuntu smartphones. The Chinese Meizu MX3 and Spanish BQ Aquarius phones will appear in 2014 Ubuntu on the inside. Although these phones are not yet operational, prototypes appeared this week at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.
Canonical announced its plan to enter the smartphone market in 2011 and since then has been very public about rallying interest and support for the goal. The company even attempted a massive but unsuccessful crowdfunding effort last year to develop the Ubuntu Edge phone as a prototype superphone that could operate as a mobile device but still run standard Linux desktop applications. However, real traction in the smartphone market requires an alliance with a hardware vendor, and Canonical's limited success with establishing hardware partnerships had caused many to believe a real-world Ubuntu phone was still far in the future.
The agreements will give Canonical valuable experience with the smartphone business and allow them to start building a resume that could lead to future phone deals.
