Arctic Tailgate Set for February 27; Single Game Tickets On Sale That Day
Punxsutawney Phil did not see his shadow, so that means spring is almost here and the Brewers are getting into full swing for 2016. Another sign of spring is the annual Arctic Tailgate at Miller Park, an event to mark the first opportunity for fans to purchase individual game tickets for the 2016 season.
The Milwaukee Brewers have set Saturday, February 27 as the date for this year's Arctic Tailgate, with individual game tickets on sale at 9 a.m. that day.
Before the box office windows open at 9 a.m., The Klement's Famous Racing Sausages, Bernie Brewer and Brewers alumni players will be on hand to greet fans all morning. The first 2,000 fans in line will receive a hot dog and soda, compliments of Klement's, Pepsi and Sportservice, as well as an Arctic Tailgate T-Shirt. Grebe's Bakery will also supply donuts for hungry fans. FOX Sports Wisconsin and 620 WTMJ support the event as well. NOTE: Online and phone sales for individual games also begin at 9 a.m. on February 27.
Please note the following safety regulations for the Arctic Tailgate. Participants will not be permitted to set up camp prior to noon on Thursday, February 25. No hand-made or hand-built shelters shall be permitted. No shelters made of cardboard or wood will be permitted. Shelters with a footprint greater than 100 square feet are not permitted unless otherwise approved by the Brewers. Miller Park power sources are not available for public use and gas generators are not permitted on the property. Only State-Approved gas/propane heating/grilling units with fuel-valve turn-offs and self-contained charcoal/wood units are permitted; provided, however, that they must be a minimum distance of 25 feet from the building or shelters. Activity and items permitted on the premises are subject to the approval of the Brewers. The Brewers reserve the right to remove any shelter, items, or individuals from the property.
Only a very limited number of tickets for Opening Day will be available at this event (note: the Miller Park Box Office will be the only place where fans will be able to purchase individual Opening Day tickets on February 27; no phone or online orders will be accepted). Each fan will be limited to a maximum of four tickets for Opening Day, based on availability. Meanwhile, through Monday, February 15, fans can visit Brewers.com/opportunity and register for the chance to be selected in an Opening Day opportunity to purchase up to four tickets to Opening Day as well as register for the Weekend Games Presale (Friday-Sunday) at Miller Park this season.
Tickets for individual Brewers home games can be purchased starting Saturday, February 27 at 9 a.m. at the Miller Park Box Office, at Brewers.com or by calling (414) 902-4000 (or 800-933-7890).
Demand-based pricing, which provides the best ticket value for fans, will return for all Brewers games this season. The pricing will be implemented in almost all of the Miller Park seating categories (excluding All-Inclusive Areas, Suites, and the Uecker Seats).
Beginning with the first day of individual game sales, pricing for all 81 games is subject to change. Fans should be reminded that they will usually receive the lowest price when they purchase their seats early. For more information regarding demand-based pricing for specific games, fans can visit Brewers.com/tickets.
Fans will also be able to purchase parking passes in advance for all home dates at Miller Park including Opening Day. Advance General Parking passes are available for all games.
In addition to the Miller Park Ticket Office, fans will be able to buy tickets and parking at Brewers.com or by phone at (414) 902-4000. The Miller Park Ticket Office will be open until 5 p.m. on Saturday, February 27. Beginning February 28, normal Box Office hours are from 9 a.m. – 7 p.m. Monday through Friday), 9 a.m. – 5 p.m. on Saturdays and 11 a.m. – 5 p.m. on Sundays (with extended hours on game days).
Today's single-digit temperatures were ignored by the Brewers faithful today as thoughts of summer days at Miller Park filled the air. Fans queued up early at Miller Park to be the first to get single-game tickets, and combined with online purchases, the Brewers had one of the best days of single-game ticket sales in team history.
As of 3 pm, 101,000 tickets had been sold, tied for the second-highest sold in a single day in team history. The total of 101,000 is 10,000 more than last year on the first day of sales for individual games. (NOTE: the franchise record for tickets sold in a single day is 104,000, achieved on the first day of sales in 2009.)
In addition, the Club announced that Opening Day, April 6 versus the Rockies, is sold out, except for a limited number of tickets that remain as part of Season Seat packages (see below). Several additional games have limited inventory remaining.
"Once again, Brewers fans proved that spring and summer come early when it comes to being ready for baseball, and we appreciate their incredible support," said Brewers Chief Operating Officer Rick Schlesinger. "We encourage everyone to purchase tickets in advance, not only because several games have limited inventory remaining, but also because the best deals with demand-based pricing are typically for tickets purchased early."
Fans still have the opportunity to obtain tickets to Opening Day and all of the high demand games with the purchase of a partial or full Season Seat plan. Information on Season Seat plans is available by calling 414-902-HITS.
Games that have been the most popular with fans purchasing tickets today include Sunday, May 10 against the Cubs (Hank The Ballpark Pup Bobblehead, presented by Pick 'n Save), Saturday, May 30 against the Diamondbacks (Star Wars Night), Saturday, June 13 against the Nationals (Brewers Postgame Concert Series featuring O.A.R., presented by Miller Lite) and Sunday, June 28 versus the Twins (Paul Molitor Bobblehead, presented by Klement's).
As part of today's Arctic Tailgate activities, the first 2,000 fans at the Box Office received a free Arctic Tailgate t-shirt, a Klement's hot dog and a Pepsi, with donuts provided by Grebe's Bakery.
Tickets remain on sale at the Miller Park Box Office, through brewers.com, by phone (414-902-4000) and at all tickets.com outlets.
Arctic Tailgate 2015 a Success; Individual Tickets On Sale Now
Although the annual tradition of camping out overnight for individual tickets was hampered by the extra-frigid temperatures, that didn't prevent hearty fans from lining up at Miller Park this morning at 5am CT to score their Brewers tickets at Arctic Tailgate.
Here are some photos and updates from today's event:
Individual tickets are on sale now at the Brewers Box Office, at 414-902-4000 or on brewers.com.
WEATHER FORCES CHANGES TO "ARCTIC TAILGATE" PLANS AT MILLER PARK; Camping Out for Tickets Prohibited Due to Plummeting Temperatures
With frigid overnight temperatures expected for Thursday and Friday, today we announced that nightly camping for Saturday's "Arctic Tailgate" will not be permitted. The earliest that fans will be allowed to arrive for the event will be 5 am on Saturday morning.
The Arctic Tailgate event marks the beginning of individual ticket sales for 2015 Brewers home games. Participants were originally going to be allowed to arrive at noon Thursday, and historically fans have camped over Thursday and Friday nights on the Miller Park Plaza area for the opportunity to secure tickets.
"This event is a tradition for many of our fans, but conditions are going to be too dangerous to be in the elements for extended exposure," said Brewers Chief Operating Officer Rick Schlesinger. "We simply do not want to put anyone's personal health at risk with the expected conditions."
The revised plan calls for gates to the parking lots to open at 5 am on Saturday. The Box Office will open at 9 am for the beginning of individual game ticket sales.
The Klement's Famous Racing SausagesTM, Bernie Brewer and Brewers alumni players will be on hand to greet fans all morning. The first 2,000 fans in line will receive a hot dog and soda, compliments of Klement's, Pepsi and Sportservice, as well as an Arctic Tailgate t-shirt. In addition, Grebe's Bakery will supply fans with doughnuts. FOX Sports Wisconsin and 620 WTMJ will both serve as media sponsors, and the FOX Sports Wisconsin Girls will be in attendance on Saturday.
Only a very limited number of tickets for Opening Day will be available at this event (note: the Miller Park Box Office will be the only place where fans will be able to purchase individual Opening Day tickets on February 28; no phone or online orders will be accepted). Each fan will be limited to a maximum of four tickets for Opening Day, based on availability.
In addition to the Miller Park Ticket Office, fans will be able to buy tickets and parking at Brewers.com or by phone at (414) 902-4000. The Miller Park Ticket Office will be open until 5 p.m. on Saturday, February 28. Normal Box Office hours are from 9 a.m. – 7 p.m. Monday through Friday (beginning Monday, March 2), 9 a.m. – 5 p.m. on Saturdays and 11 a.m. – 5 p.m. on Sundays.
Arctic Tailgate 2014 a Success; Event Lives Up to Name
Since John and I are down in Arizona for Spring Training, I asked Evan Entler, our Marketing & Advertising Coordinator to fill in for me back home on the Arctic Tailgate front. Evan is new to the Brewers and Milwaukee (he was hired last fall, coming to Milwaukee by way of Florida where he previously worked with the Rays), so I thought getting his take on his first Arctic Tailgate experience would be fun. And I only had to bribe him with the new Taylor Swift album to get him to do it.
So without further adieu, here's Evan, ladies and gentlemen!
My First Arctic Tailgate by Evan Entler
John and Cait are down at Spring Training working on their golf game and hanging out with Hank (#BallparkPup), so I am holding down the fort here in Milwaukee until they return. And as nice as 80 degrees sounds right about now, there is nowhere I would rather be than camping out at Miller Park with some of the craziest fans in all of sports.
This is my first season with the Brewers, so I had absolutely no idea what I was in for at my first ever Arctic Tailgate. Coming into the event, I thought I knew a little something about tailgating, but I quickly realized that you don't know what tailgating is until you've tailgated with Brewers fans.
I came here from Florida, where people literally will not leave their house if the temperature drops below 60 degrees, so it took me a while to wrap my head around the whole concept of the Arctic Tailgate. Wait, people camp out in the middle of winter? Overnight? In Wisconsin? And they survive? But I was ready to learn how to tailgate from the very best. So I bundled up in my warmest winter attire and made my way outside Miller Park Friday afternoon expecting to see a grand total of eight shivering people in sleeping bags camped outside the ticket window. Instead, I saw a line of tents wrapping around the ballpark as far as I could see. And these were no pup tents. These were deluxe, heated tents straight out of a National Geographic special called Ascent to Everest.
I approached the very first group of campers in line and asked them how long they had been out here. They informed me that they had been there since Thursday night. "Wait a second," I said, "I thought we sent out a press release informing fans not to camp overnight on Thursday due to the cold temperatures?" Their response, "Yeah, that's true. So, we just camped out in our cars instead." Apparently if sub-zero temperatures can't stop Brewers fans from camping out for tickets, neither can a press release.
I met all kinds of awesome Brewers fans on Friday night – fans from all over the state, most of whom had camped out at every Arctic Tailgate for the last six, seven, eight years. Soon the cold began to get the best of me, however, so I took refuge in the Leinenkugel's heated tent, where I discovered that Sumer Shandy is just as delicious in 20 degrees as it is in 80.
Now full disclosure – I have developed a certain fondness for sleeping indoors, so I decided that camping overnight in 15 degrees was not going to be for me. Hopefully by next year I will be a true Wisconsinite capable of braving the overnight elements. But I returned bright and early Saturday morning refreshed and ready to rejoin the tailgating. By this point, the line had migrated into the concourse, and stretched from the ticket office to the left-field corner. A night of frigid temperatures had by no means diminished the enthusiasm of these ardent Brewers fans who passed the hours until tickets went on sale by scouring their pocket schedules to determine what games they wanted to attend in 2014.
Of course, even the hardiest of Wisconsinites can grow weary standing in line for hours in the freezing cold, but just as energy was beginning to wane, fans were refreshed with doughnuts from Grebe's Bakery. Shortly after, the FOX Sports Wisconsin Girls made their way through the crowd to greet fans and fight off the cold by passing out handwarmers, and spirits were quickly revived.
Before we knew it, the clock struck 9, the box office opened and Brewers single-game tickets were officially on sale.
Now maybe you're one of those people who really prefers to sleep in the great indoors, so you missed out on Arctic Tailgate. Not to worry! Single-game tickets are also available online at brewers.com. You can reserve your seats for some of this season's biggest matchups including series against the Yankees, Cardinals and Cubs. But you should probably hurry, because tickets are going fast.
As for me, my first ever Arctic Tailgate experience was pretty incredible. I was truly overwhelmed by the passion of Brewers fans. I can hardly wait until Opening Day, when the real tailgating kicks off. It's going to be a great season. #SeeUMarch31

I just purchased (summer 2012) a General Motors Coach PD-4103 yesterday off a farm in North East PA. It was sitting in the same spot since the 1960s when it was taken out of service with Greyhound. It is all original and hasn't been touched since parked. It was like time froze around it.
It is a 1952 PD-4103, Serial #725. All glass is good besides a few side windows. Both aluminum bumpers are straight too. Arrow turn signal lenses are good and even the reading lamps inside work when I took a battery to it. Heater fans kicked on too! Didn't try to fire it up yet, but the engine does turn over freely.
Would love to hear from anyone who is familiar with this vintage bus as far as restoration and mechanical matters...
Thank you for the interest,
Kevin Lewis

I really hope to get some more information on this bus. It would be greatly appreaciated. I do not know much about buses. Just found this bus on a farm and bought it on a spur of the moment type deal.
ClassicBusDepot.com | Sep 19, 2012 | 8:13 pm
Kevin, thanks again for submitting the above photos to ClassicBusDepot.com. Looks like you'll have your hands full restoring her, but should prove worthy.
You inspired me to dig up some photos I took back in 1997 of a beautifully restored GM PD-4103 similar to yours. I just posted them here on the site: http://www.classicbusdepot.com/bus-photos/150_0_1_0_C/
Hopefully it can serve as a template for you. All the best.

We have a 1951 PD4103 #057 that we are currently converting to a motorhome. What are your plans with yours?
Kevi Lewis | Oct 11, 2012 | 5:18 pm
I really dont have any plans yet. Because it is all original with all seats intact I would probably like to see it stay original. It even still has the original greyhound van lines medical kit in it!
Mary Heiser | Oct 11, 2012 | 6:43 pm
We would love to see some pictures of the inside with the seats and luggage rack if you have them. If things change we are in need of parts and would be interested in buying it or just parts. We especially need the front windshields - ours are cracked. I inherited the bus from my brother who passed away in Feb. 2012 (he was a Vietnam Vet and is was buried in Arlington)- he had owned it for 16 years and worked on it a little at a time until he got sick. His dream was to travel and live in it. We couldn't bare to scrap it and since we do a lot of RVing ourselves and own a 88 Motorhome we plan to use parts for the Bus, we decided to continue with his dream and finish it. It had actually been sitting and had not been started for about 3 years (in North Carolina). My husband and a friend drove up to North Carolina in April and was able to drive it back to Florida (where we live) with no issues. We did put brand new tires on it though before they left North Carolina. There are not many of these buses around - there was only 1501 made and our number is 57. My email address is email@example.com if you want to send the pictures and I can send some of mine to you too.
Kevi Lewis | Oct 12, 2012 | 10:23 pm
yes i heard the windshields for this model are very hard to find. Luckily both of mine are intact. I sent you over an email earlier this afternoon with pictures of the interior which is in very good shape. I haven't really considered selling it but again i dont really have plans for it either so I would like to see it go to a good home.
Al Bianco | May 08, 2013 | 2:23 pm
Hello Kevin and Mary;
Guess what? I own S/n #1461,which was converted in 1980 by a Calif. Trucker,who did a real good job,to make it function for day and night use. Seats up to 14 and sleeps 5,due to convertible beds in front and rear bedroom. Remains in it's tradition as the most reliable model GM built,it would be the one to go to when all others would not start or run. Has original 6-71 with 90mm Injectors and By-Pass oil filter ,and used to run at over 90 MPH in calif,L.A. to Vegas,before City of Fresno put in Charter fleet. Now runs with much power ,since I installed smaller Metric tires (255 ,and 235 front),which I recommend,as rear end gears are too tall.(High-355:1)
All Amsoil lubes allows very LONG service intervals,and EASY winter starts. Have same drivers windshield problem,(neighbor?? put rock thru it after $700 replacement 2 weeks prior.)
I will try to send pics,but the ONLY issue it has is Esthetics__New Paint,and some rear glass,which I knocked out one day.
Wish you the best,as you will stop traffic on the road all the time. Everyone,young and old,will stare at it.And that is a problem with these coaches-They take over your emotions,and become a part of you. Possibly why you bought # 725,which by the way has the same pass. side mirror as mine,some did not,like # 72 ,like Mary's
Suggest you get with an Amsoil dealer or me on pre-start lubing for your engine Kevin,or maybe you have already done that. Those engines love a 15W40 lube in Synthetic,as old 40 wt.petroleum takes more energy to start and maintain oil pressure,get it in Gear boxes for sure, since sat so long.Do not worry about leaks,as bad seals leak regardless of lube,but best lube never fails to protect.
Attempting to assist in areas,you might not have info on,so pardon any sense of pitching product.I really wish to help,in areas,some maintenance people may not have latest tech knowledge,and that is what I do all the time, Vehicle Maintenance Technologies.Including Hydrogen on Demand fueling ,with your diesel to clean exhaust and reduce fuel consumption dramatically.Soon on my rig.Best regards, Big Al B.559.281.4804
Mary Heiser | May 08, 2013 | 2:57 pm
Al,thanks for your comments. You right we do get the looks!! We nearing the end of our conversion - hopefully have the interior done enough so we can start camping in it. Sorry to hear you got a rock through your windhields but curious to know where you had them made? My direct email is email@example.com
Kevi Lewis | May 09, 2013 | 5:52 pm
Al, my email is firstname.lastname@example.com
Al Bianco | May 10, 2013 | 12:03 am
Thanks Kevin; Small world indeed. Is That you on Right or on left in Pic.I think it is guy on right,that I talked to.
Will send quick note soon. Thanks, Big Al B

I also have a 1952 GM 4103 #1184. I drove a few times and on the way to Biloxi it broke down (overheated a bit) but I got it back to Philly. haven't done much with it lately but I would like to.
Mary Heiser | Jun 01, 2013 | 8:50 pm
Hi Lou,
Do you have the original windshields or have you replaced them?
Lou Lupo | Jun 02, 2013 | 2:23 am
I have the original windshields (I hope?) I have not even seen bus in a few years. I keep it stored in NJ and it was a good location since it was a bus repair facility (US Coach) but they have moved so now its just a school bus yard. I'd better go check it out and move to closer to home. I will take some pics ASAP.
Mary Heiser | Jun 02, 2013 | 5:56 am
We know US Coach - we have ordered parts from them. Our windshields are cracked and we will need to eventually replace them - either from another PD4103 or eventually find someone to make them. It's been difficult because for someone to make a mould, it would be costly. If there was a handful of other people who needed windshields it would cut down on the cost and the mould charge could be split among all of us.
Al Bianco | Apr 21, 2014 | 7:58 pm
Hello All;
Well I am feeling a little sad,as I have decided to find new home for the Coach described above. Will take offers which are reasonable for this real "Art Deco" classic,which should not be lower than $12,000. Will describe all factors about the coach,including what I believe will be needed to put it directly on the Road. Really only esthetics ,such as paint and some glass. Driver Windshield was vandalized in 2001,and hasn't stopped me from enjoying the drive,all the time.I compute it will take about $3000-4000. to make it road ready,plus Paint on non-stainless sides and Rear/front.
Will gladley talk to interested parties at 55.281.4804 or al@ bianco.net. Thank you for any interest,and Regards at EasterTime.
Mary Heiser | Apr 22, 2014 | 6:04 am
Al, you may want to advertise on www.busnut.com We are still searching for windshields...we do drive it locally but it hinders us from going out of state or long distance. We may have to settle for lexan. The cost to have new windshields (molds) would be over $5,000 - so we are still in hopes of finding another bus with good windshields. Good luck with selling it!
Kevin Lewis | Apr 22, 2014 | 7:10 am
Good luck with selling your bus! This summer is going to be the last one for mine too. Just sold 3 Vehicles last week including 1 bus. Everything has to go!
Al Bianco | Apr 22, 2014 | 11:50 am
Thanks folks. You went to much effort,Kevin ,to get that coach alive again,and you are continuing to do so. I will take your advice Mary,but I am sure that anyone on this blog,knows and appreciates what these historical drivers really are,and would be much easier to explain their benefits,and who, would love to pass along info about what is going on with them.

Sorry to hear that you are selling your bus and I am wondering IF I should do the same. I would hate to but having already "broke down " in an antique is not a good experience. I will attempt to get it started this Summer and take a trip. Thanks for the info Big Al @Al Bianco
Denis | Apr 28, 2014 | 4:55 pm
I have a 4013 and I could not believe that there is one out there that is one number from mine. Mine is 4103-726. My windshield is lexan and is 10 yr. old, it needs to be replaced.
Kevin | Apr 28, 2014 | 5:26 pm
Just got mine up for sale. I have to do something with it before next winter even if that means scrapping it or parting it out. Hopefully will find someone to buy it! http://www.busnut.com/classifieds/index.php?a=2&b=1379
Mary Heiser | Apr 29, 2014 | 5:10 am
Denis, where did you get your lexan windshields made? We are considering that...my email is firstname.lastname@example.com
Denis | Apr 29, 2014 | 8:31 am
I took the old glass out and laid it on a big peace of cardboard. from there I make a pattern of one big windshield

My Wife and I recently bought a 1952 PD 4103-716, living in it and remodeling the uld convesion, a lot of wiring and exterior paint work. What a blast.
Mary Heiser | Jun 03, 2014 | 10:14 am
Ken - In what state to you find it?
ken brown | Jun 03, 2014 | 11:10 am
Way out in the desert in Laveen, AZ
Charles Seaton | Jun 23, 2014 | 11:59 am
I am catching up on this late, but I love your '03. I have not seen too many of these without silversiding but yours would look great just painted. She looks straight and this should be an interesting project. Good luck!!
Smoggy | Dec 16, 2014 | 3:58 pm
Just wondering if you still have your bus for sale ? Kevin
Kevin | Dec 16, 2014 | 5:18 pm
Yes I do
Tommi | Dec 19, 2014 | 3:04 pm
Kevin, hi, how much for your 4103?
Arthur j brinkerhoff | Feb 05, 2015 | 11:31 am
Sure enjoy the input on the site, I am looking for a 4104 classic enough for me and the wife. Plan to travel and we love the GC! I know most of us bus nuts, lack,the serious money it takes, and we compromise to enjoy the life style we choose. I know there are glass manufacturers out there, if we all got together and pooled our resources, we could get the glass we need. They do it for classic cars, maybe they would do it for us.
Mary Heiser | Feb 05, 2015 | 7:22 pm
Coach Glass still makes the windshields for 4104's and 4106's unfortunately 4103's are not as easy to find unless you find another bus.
Arthur j brinkerhoff | Feb 06, 2015 | 12:27 pm
Hi Mary: gosh if coach glass has it for my dream bus, maybe there isn't that many units remaining for the 03. I know cost is another factor for us. I once owned a 49 Mercury coupe, the rear glass was a 3 piece unit, I,found a company in the Philippines that made the unit, and claimed they had the resources to manufacture any piece, I don't know if that included buses or not. And on top of that, it was twenty years ago. So who knows
Al | Feb 06, 2015 | 12:54 pm

Tommi | Feb 19, 2015 | 6:53 pm
Al, sorry, just buying a PD 4103 now
Mary Heiser | Feb 19, 2015 | 7:43 pm
Tommy where did you find your PD 4103?
Tommi | Feb 20, 2015 | 8:33 am
Mary, 10 minutes from my place. Calgary, Canada.
Was looking all over the US and found it next door. LOL
Tommi | Feb 20, 2015 | 8:38 am
does anyone know how many 4103s are still running out there?
Does anyone have a parts bus?
Mary Heiser | Feb 20, 2015 | 11:54 am
It's difficult because they on produced 1501 buses. Luke at US Coach in New Jersey works on the older buses and has parts. He us known in the bus community.
Al Bianco | Feb 20, 2015 | 12:46 pm
Tommi: Happy to see that happen. Is it converted? Check rear diff for ratio and if 355:1 you can size smaller tires capable to handle prox 23K pounds gross weight. that will be great on hills I'm using 255X22.5 but 275 will help. Also Change to Dry Air cleaner easily at used truck air cleaner parts. Can help with that too. Lots of luck,fellow 03" lover.
Arthur j brinkerhoff | Feb 20, 2015 | 2:29 pm
Just watched that movie bus stop, is that a brill? Bus in the movie, lots of movie shots and footage in the movie. My 4104 dream is on hold for now, got to sell some stuff.
Kevin Lewis | Feb 26, 2015 | 8:51 am
Hey Tommi, my bus is complete but would make a good parts unit. Give me a call or an e-mail if you would like any more info. 570-702-6985. email@example.com
Tommi | Feb 28, 2015 | 11:21 am
I can't afford Kevin's bus, but maybe a joint venture?
How many people are out there needing parts?
The one I'm about to buy is pretty much done up and just coming out of the shop, but I'd be interested in getting some parts.
J. Estep | Jun 23, 2015 | 9:30 pm
We bought a 4103 a few years back in 2013. Was in great condition and already coverted to RV. Does need front window and the bottom step does not pull out when opening door. She fired right up and we drove her to rv park about 60 or 70 miles from where we purchased from and lived in it for 6 months. It was a little cramped with a 3 year old. The speedometer does not work or the generator. And the roof A/C's need repair. It needs new tires. All in all, she a beaut. Not sure what the s/n is, but in due time we will know the ins and outs. We bought laminate wood flooring to replace the dingy carpet. Would like to get to know other 4103 owners, as we are looking for parts. Thanks
J. Estep | Jun 23, 2015 | 9:45 pm
What type license do you need to drive the 4103 legally, i live tx and frequently travel to florida
Mary Heiser | Jun 24, 2015 | 6:34 am
You do not need any special license as long as it's titled as an RV. The windshield is a problem!! We are trying to have bigger ones cut down and if that doesn't work we will have to go with lexan. Where did you find your 4103. My email is firstname.lastname@example.com - we have had since 2012. It's fully converted. We also have to get the bottom step fixed. They only made 1501 of these buses - so there are not many left!
Jeff | Nov 10, 2015 | 8:55 am
We have a 1951 PD-4103 and are looking for either the long transit-style rear view side mirrors (std) or front end mounded round ("lollypop") style mirrors.
Charles Seaton | Nov 10, 2015 | 9:22 am
In New york, if the coach is registered o historic plates and is not used commercially you can drive with only an operator's license.

As kids head back to school this fall, many will find learning an extra challenge. Scientists now estimate that as many as ¼ of all U.S. children may have lower IQs due to eating foods sprayed with pesticides like chlorpyrifos.
This is both frightening and fixable.
Chlorpyrifos food residue is the leading driver of dietary risk both because of its neurotoxic effects, and because so much is used. Ten million pounds of chlorpyrifos are applied to apples, peaches, sweet peppers and many other crops in the U.S. every year. The vast majority of us — including children — carry breakdown products of the chemical in our bodies.
Tell EPA it's time. This month our public officials are finally reviewing the health risks of chlorpyrifos, in response to a lawsuit PAN and our partners filed in 2007. Add your name to our petition urging EPA to act now on this dangerous chemical that puts our children at risk.
Pesticide Action Network North America started this petition with a single signature, and now has 192 supporters. Start a petition today to change something you care about.

Our jet-set president starts another round of leading from behind this week as he leaves for Hawaii, Australia and Bali to see if he can learn from and share with other world leaders how they create jobs, ignore their constitution, arm drug cartels without getting subpoenaed; or at, the very least how they shave a shot or two off their handicap.
Oh, if only Obama could be the president of China. The world would make a lot more sense. He could then invest in as many foreign green companies as he wanted.
As the Congressional Super Committee crafts a Super Compromise that aims at preventing across-the-board federal budget cuts, Obama has decided to distance himself as far as possible from any deal- or work- literally distance himself by 10, 217 air miles as he attends a summit for the Association of Southeast Asian Nations.
His policy of craftily negotiating with Congress by not communicating with them worked so well in the past, why fix what isn't working? Gee that could be the new motto for this administration: "Why mess around with a bad thing? Obama 2012."
Plus, if he really needs to say something that'll get extra press while out of town, maybe there will be a "hot" mic around that he can take advantage of.
You hate Tim Geithner's hair? What about me? I have to blow dry it every day!
This is the same great communicator/uniter who hasn't been able to get a single vote for a budget this year; the same guy who went AWOL during the debt ceiling negotiations; the president whose jobs plan involves making an appeal to fifth-graders; and the Harvard professor whose only fixed economic theory is that raising taxes does…something…something, um, fair.
And you thought Rick Perry struggled with answers?
Obama is a daily, walking gaffe-machine covered up by media acolytes who need a messiah in the same way that Trotsky needed Lenin. And for the same reason: So that someone can tell them which way to shoot.
Of course, the dividing line for the great communicator where fairness should start has rattled around between the income for Joe the Plumber and income for Warren Buffet and back down to income for Warren Buffet's secretary.
Just another example of great communication from our communicator-in-chief.
Rush Limbaugh defends Rubio's debate answer: He's absolutely right that Obama knows what he's doing | Allahpundit
Time for Team Hillary to break out the gender card for young liberal women who prefer Sanders | Allahpundit

Re: Consolidat
e loans to reduce number of installmen t accounts on credit report?
I was told my student loans capitalize once a month but accural everday and everytime a payment is made, they recalculate the amount accuraled. This makes me wonder if making small daily payments would lower the life of the loan and help me to pay less in the long run. In addition, since the FICO score is not static but calculates daily, I wonder if spreading out the loans with different vendors who report on different days of the month might have the same effect on the score?.?.?
You can wrap me in your flag, make me say a praise to your creator and make me spend your currency, but remember this, I am a loyal servant to Justice and a Patriot to none. I am free...

The Day After in Chicago
November 5, 2008

I thought this was funny, so I'm sharing.
For me, the funniest was the "You know way too much about..." line. I was at a picnic & chatted on & on about how the grappler caterpiller (inch worm) was the only carnivorous caterpillar known. Another mom just shook her head & said "You know WAY TOO MUCH about bugs!" All I could say was, "My kid loves bugs."

President Barack Obama also recalls a disastrous attempt to do Malia's hair.
President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle (wearing a repeat black-and-white Tracy Reese fave) shared a meal with the winners of the 2012 President's Dinner Contest in March and talked about their personal lives, family stories and even what their first date was like.
"I took her to the Art Museum at the Art Institute," President Obama said. "I was trying to impress her, to show her I was a real culturally sensitive guy. And it worked! Just trying to give a tip for the young men out there."
In a 2009 interview on CNN, the first lady added that after the art museum, Obama took her to a showing of Spike Lee's Do the Right Thing and that she was sold on him by the end of that first date. The couple have now been married 19 years and counting.
At the dinner, President Obama also opened up about the hardest thing he's had to face.
"Sasha got meningitis when she was three months old and I still remember going to the hospital together and they had to give her a spinal tap. Your world narrows to this very small point, one thing you care about, you don't care about anything else."
But there were also plenty of laughs to be shared at the table, particularly when he shared a hilarious attempt to get daughter Malia ready for a dance recital.
"Having kids teaches you a bunch of stuff and gives you a great deal of respect for moms," the president said. "My favorite story is Malia, when she was four, she had a little dance thing. But Michelle was gone that weekend so I'm taking her to ballet and I get her in her little leotard and her little stuff. I did her hair, put it in a little bun. We get to the dance studio and one of the moms there, right away she comes up to Malia. She thinks she's out of earshot of me and she says, 'You want me to redo your hair?' And Malia, who's four, she says, 'Yes, please. This is a disaster.' She didn't want to hurt daddy's feelings."

Nov 12 2013, 8:56am CST | by IANS
Beijing, Nov 12 — The 18th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Tuesday approved a decision on "major issues concerning comprehensively deepening reforms" at the close of their four-day meeting.
Entrusted by the political bureau of the CPC Central Committee, Chinese President Xi Jinping, who is also general secretary of the CPC Central Committee, delivered a work report to the third plenary session of the 18th CPC Central Committee, held Nov 9-12 in Beijing.
The general objective of the approved reforms is to improve and develop socialism with Chinese characteristics and push on with modernization of the country's governing system and capabilities, Xinhua reported citing a communique issued after the session.
China must build on the paramount reality that it remains in the primary stage of socialism and will long remain so while pursuing comprehensive, deeper reforms.
China must stick to the strategic judgement that development is still the key to solving all problems in China, the communique said.
It is most important to adhere to the leadership of the CPC, it said.
Economic reforms is the key, and the core solution is the proper relationship between the government and the market, leaving the market to play the decisive role in allocation of resources and the government to play a better role, it said.
Decisive results must be achieved in key sectors, and a well-developed, scientific, procedure-based and effective framework must be in place by 2020 to ensure institutions in all sectors become more mature, according to the communique.
China will stick to the dominant role of public ownership, playing the leading role of the state-owned economy, while encouraging, supporting and guiding the non-public sector, enhancing its vitality and creativity, it said.
A united and open market system with orderly competition will be built so that the market will play a "decisive" role in allocating resources, according to the communique.
Government functions must be transformed in a manner to build a law-based and service-oriented government.
The reform also includes building a modern fiscal system that supports the initiative of both central and local governments.
China needs to improve its budget management and taxation systems in a bid to make responsibilities of government agencies match properly with what they spend, the communique said.
It is essential that China improves related legislation, ascertains government bodies' responsibilities, reforms the taxation system and ensures budgeting is transparent.
China aims to improve a new type of relations between industry and agriculture and between urban and rural areas.
China will lower the investment threshold, step up the development of free trade zones and increase opening-up of inland, coastal and border areas.
Greater importance will be attached to perfecting a democratic system and enriching democratic forms to show the advantages of China's socialist political system.
Reforms must be accelerated in the social sectors including education, employment, income distribution, social security and public health.
The country will establish a state security committee, improving systems and strategies to ensure national security, according to the communique which called for the innovation of systems to effectively prevent and end social disputes and improve public security.
The communique also urged building of a comprehensive system for ecological progress that protects the environment.
Modern armed forces with Chinese characteristics will be built, the communique said.
The party's goal is an army that "obeys the party's command, is capable of winning battles and has a sound work style".
"Great effort should be put to solving outstanding conflicts and problems that hinder development of national defence and the army," said the communique.
The CPC will set up a central leading team for "comprehensively deepening reforms". It will be in charge of designing reform, arranging and coordinating reform, pushing forward reform and supervising the implementation of plans.
A total of 204 full members and 169 alternate members of the CPC Central Committee attended the plenum.
Standing committee members of CPC Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, leading officials from relevant departments, some grassroots-level delegates to the 18th CPC National Congress as well as experts and scholars were also present at the plenary session as non-voting delegates.

International Federation of Professional and Technical Engineers, Local 3 (Union) and U.S. Department of the Navy, Norfolk Naval Shipyard Detachment, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (Agency)
[ v57 p699 ]
57 FLRA No. 145
February 28, 2002
Before the Authority: Dale Cabaniss, Chairman, and
Carol Waller Pope and Tony Armendariz, Members
I. Statement of the Case
This case is before the Authority on a negotiability appeal filed by the Union under § 7105(a)(2)(E) of the Federal Service Labor-Management Relations Statute (the Statute), and concerns the negotiability of one proposal related to the Agency's drug testing program. The Agency filed a statement of position and the Union filed a response. The Agency also filed a reply to the Union's response. [n1]
For the reasons which follow, we find that the proposal is outside the duty to bargain and dismiss the petition for review.
II. Proposal
If an arbitrator decides that an employee has been improperly or unlawfully subjected to reasonable suspicion testing, the employee's test results will be nullified.
III. Meaning of the Proposal
At the post-petition conference, the parties agreed that the proposal means that improperly or unlawfully obtained test results, as determined by an arbitrator, will be nullified and that those test results cannot be used by the Agency as the basis for any type of action against the employee. The parties further agreed that the term "action" is not limited to disciplinary action. This agreed-upon meaning of the proposal was memorialized in the record of the post-petition conference distributed to the parties in accordance with 5 C.F.R. § 2424.23(c). [n2]
In its response, the Union states that the proposal would not permit an arbitrator to review the Agency's revocation or denial of a security clearance based on a drug test result. Union's Response at 11. This construction of the proposal is narrower than the construction of the proposal articulated in the record of the post-petition conference, which provides that the proposal prohibits the Agency from taking any action on the basis of an improperly procured drug test result.
The record of the post-petition conference advises the parties that any objection to the content of record of the post-petition conference may be raised in either the Agency's statement of position, or the Union's response thereto. Record of Post-Petition Conference at 2. Here, the Union raised no objection to the meaning of the proposal, as it was outlined in the record of the post-petition conference. Having failed to do so, the Union can not now argue that the proposal will operate in a manner different than the manner described in the record of the post-petition conference. Permitting a party to change the agreed-upon meaning of a proposal would be inconsistent with the purpose of a post-petition conference, see 63 Fed. Reg. 66,405 (Dec. 2, 1998) (the purpose of a post-petition conference is to ensure that the parties have a common understanding of the meaning of a proposal), as well as the procedures for challenging the content of the record of a post-petition conference articulated in that record. Accordingly, we will consider the negotiability of the proposal in light of the meaning contained [ v57 p700 ] in the uncontested record of the post-petition conference.
IV. Positions of the Parties
A. Agency's Statement of Position
The Agency claims that the proposal would impermissibly preclude the Agency from using the results of a failed drug test to revoke an employee's security clearance. The Agency argues that the Supreme Court, in Dep't of the Navy v. Egan, 484 U.S. 518 (1988) (Egan), found that the Agency has the exclusive right to determine whether to grant or revoke a security clearance because of the Agency's expertise in protecting classified information. According to the Agency, an arbitrator's role, under Egan, in reviewing the revocation or denial of security clearances, is limited to ensuring that minimum due process rights are accorded to the employees. The Agency maintains that arbitrators may not review the merits of the Agency's decision. Therefore, the Agency argues that the proposal would impermissibly permit an arbitrator to substitute his determination for that of the Agency.
The Agency also asserts that the proposal conflicts with various provisions of Section 5 of Executive Order No. 12,564, 51 Fed. Reg. 32,889 (September 15, 1986) and 10 U.S.C. § 986. The Agency further argues that the proposal directly and excessively interferes with management's rights to discipline employees and to determine its internal security practices under § 7106(a) of the Statute.
B. Union's Response
As set forth above, the Union maintains that the proposal does not grant to arbitrators any authority with regard to security clearances which they do not already possess. The Union claims that in Egan, 484 U.S. at 531, the Supreme Court ruled that the Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB) has the authority to review the procedures used by agencies in revoking security clearances. Given an arbitrator's similar powers to review agency actions, the Union argues that arbitrators may review the procedures used by the Agency in revoking a security clearance.
The Union also argues that the proposal is not contrary to Executive Order No. 12,564. The Union further maintains that the proposal does not excessively interfere with management's rights to determine its internal security practices and to take disciplinary action against its employees.

JUNEAU -- A Juneau utility says a hydro project will be offline for two days this month but no service disruptions are expected.
Debbie Ferreira, with Alaska Electric Light and Power Co., says diesel generators will be used to supplement power production.
The project is going offline to allow helicopter clearance for materials for a new avalanche diversion structure. The structure, intended to direct the force of an avalanche from the tower base, will be similar to one installed in 2009 that was credited with preventing tower damage from an avalanche this year.
The company included the estimated cost of diesel in the cost of power adjustment on customers' bills. It says any savings or additional costs related to the diesel usage will be factored into the next quarter's adjustment.

Hey guys!
I'm working on Invader Attack 2, that's my personal project: Codergames.com
It has been going on for a while, only 3 years or so, but I'm finally keen on finishing it. It's still missing many features, models, textures, levels, achievements, bosses, music, etc. but there is a video showing progress.
Other than that, as a part of my day job, I work on a 3d RPG game, the details of which I'm not allowed to release due to signed NDA, but you need to do something to pay the bills. I'm not having fun doing so, it's more fun working on Invader Attack 2, I'm currently doing AIs for the next type of invader and it's fun. I'll also start composing another music tune depicting fast-paced battles happening on screen.

Few bug fixes later and I've partially implemented a color wheel. Not entirely sure if the color wheel is efficient but that's what pre-release testers are for

Thought I'd join in as well. Working on a 2.5D platforming game called The Legend of The Artifact (TLoTA for short). It's made for up to four players, with four different characters with each their skill and traits (plus unlockable characters).
I haven't gotten into making each level feel so unique just yet, but it is starting to get better at that, along with also more detailed levels. At the moment it does in fact support up to four players locally. I'm doing my best to create my own universe with my own unique characters, and I hope it can become a great addition to the platformer genre in the end. Anyways, here are some pictures (with a link) for anyone interested, thanks for hearing me out.

Hi all, I find it sad that the space-based 3D RTS genre has died a death, games like Nexus: The Jupiter incident, Homeworld and Starfleet Command just aren't around any more so I feel its time to don my indie cap and get amongst my companions. I'm developing a 3D RTS taking micromanagement and strong storyline elements from Starfleet command and Nexus: The Jupiter incident and blending them with the ship building principles of Sins of a Solar Empire.

Hey, I love what you're doing there! I use the colorwheel plugin in Photoshop and it has the neat feature of letting you chose complementary colors at a click of a button. Maybe you can implement that (it's basically just a hue change by 180°). Cool stuff here lately, so far in development already! I like to see some more WIP and making of, too.

How did you manage to get it so squashed on Moddb? On the other link it looks totally fine.
1) Hmm, scaling: who puts an Acog scope on top of a sniper scope AND scales it down to about 1/3rd its size? -Nobody!
2) Do you know what those "bricks" on the side and top of the gun are? They are a railing system which clips the various attachments into place. They are not just beveled cubes. I don't know what their purpose is here. I don't see that the flashlight is actually using the rail system.
Proportions are a major issue here. Look at how the front grip and the handgrip line up. And how close they are. Nothing fits together. The volume of the gun body does hardly change. It seems to have a huge barrel (50 cal), but then again the body seems to be from an assault rifle, while the grips and trigger look like SMG. And this rifle is even better documented, as a real-life weapon. Technically there is nothing wrong with it, it just doesn't look quite like its original:

Hi everyone, I made a thread, but I figured I'd share here, too.
My name is Ryan, and my development team recently launched Spectre on Kickstarter.
In Spectre, the goal is essential to scare your opposition. Up to three players control Seekers, who work together to survive and defeat the Spectre. One player controls Spectre, who can set traps to startle and disorient the others before going in for the kill. Seekers can "sense" the Spectre approaching, as creepy audio and visual cues grow more intense as the Spectre draws closer.
Spectre supports the Oculus Rift, Sixense Hydra/STEM, Virtuix Omni, controls, as well as standard mouse/keyboard and monitor setups.
Spectre focuses on building suspense, and hands the scares to the players. Through Spectre's kickstarter, we are shooting to raise enough funds to finish developing and publish the game. Our goal is to publish Spectre on Steam. We're launching our Steam Greenlight campaign soon!

This is the LAW! Freeze, punks! LAW stands for Light Automatic Weapon or Law Automatic Weapon. Inspired of the Law Pistol from X-Com Apocalypse. You could start the game with 2 of these, and maybe they have unlimited ammo.

Head chefs work in restaurants, cafeterias, catering companies, bakeries, and many other other places which serve food. These chefs are generally expected to specialize in the particular cuisines served by their employers in order to prepare and cook food, often with the help of other chefs, and present it in an attractive manner. In some positions, head chefs may also be responsible for creating and modifying the menu or setting prices for selections.Read More...
Some employers prefer that their head chefs have completed culinary education, though this is not a strict requirement, as other employers prioritize the actual ability to cook food. Head chefs may also have inventory and purchasing duties and work within budgets, so it is important to be able to maintain the best-quality food while staying within them. Managing employees and ensuring that they are working efficiently is also a common part of the job.

Driving the 2011 Cadillac CTS-V Coupe at Monticello Motor Club
High Gear Media editor John Voelcker takes the CTS-V Coupe around the Monticello Motor Club track. Action starts at 2:06, but we left the rest of it in so you get to experience the waiting part too. Voelcker notes, "This was my first time ever driving at Monticello, so I wasn't particularly pushing it on this fairly technical track. And you'll note I hit the rev limiter a couple of times. But the best thing about driving the CTS-V is how planted it felt under any circumstance. And the sound too, of course."

Jonathan Adler got a rock star's welcome on his first visit to the Denver store carrying his home décor, gifts and fashion accessories earlier this week.
The Cherry Creek North boutique was hopping with supporters of the Art Students League of Denver (the group got a portion of the night's sales), Reign magazine subscribers and customers who queued up to meet the artist-tastemaker to have him sign a book, pose for a picture or just chat.
We wanted to hear his ideas for fall decorating, and he was happy to share: "Summer is about the outside of your house, fall is about the inside. It's time to freshen it all up and hunker down," he said. "Stop, look and rearrange" furnishings if you want a fast and inexpensive solution. "There's never one right way."
Next, replace worn items, like pillows. "They get grotty," he said. A longtime fan of fresh takes on needlepoint, he's now into bargello for pillows.
The same goes with throws to keep on the sofa. Make them alpaca for softness and warmth — and don't throw them. Carefully fold these small blankets and place them to flow over the edge of the seat, fringe down.
Put in a pop of color — and not necessarily typical autumnal shades of orange or brown. Adler's Santorini vase and bowl collection features gold-accented teal blues, green and yellow. If you keep your furniture colors neutral, you can add color with your accessories, he said.
Change your bookshelves around and use fewer books and more objets d'art he said — lamps and pots in particular.
"Bookshelves need a little ornamentation to bring them to life," Adler says. "I'm a minimalist as a designer, but a maximalist as a person."
