$400 retail with a programming cable is a good price IMO.Scott
Still, that's in the ballpark of other similar units like the PC3. When something gets made in smaller numbers there's often a premium to pay for it. I'm glad this one seems reasonably priced.Scott
On the dyno, mine started to shut off the gas at 5500 and the mixture would start to lean out, but the engine would keep running to 5900 before it would quit. The power dropped off rapidly above 5500 but it was interesting to see the engine keep on revving. Or quite like most of the engines I've had dynoed which quit pretty much at redline or maybe 100 RPM higher.Bare
Here's some detail on what I have on:http://www.enfieldmotorcycles.com/forum/index.php?topic=15416.0Scott
This Hitchcock pipe is nice. It's a bit larger diameter than the stock RE pipe. With a Goldie silencer, it makes less power than stock! The bottom end power is gone! Jack had one on his bike. It didn't work well. He went back to the stock bike with the Goldie.Ron Greene said the D&D pipe was worth 4 hp. I'm assuming he meant over the stock pipes. If true, that's a good hike!BareBare

i do like those farms
Veteran L5R players should recognize this one. This is based on the drawing from the L5R module Code of Bushido. I am planning on running that adventure and the Honor's Veil adventure in the very near future so I thought some nicer maps would be of use. This village only really shows up in one scene though so I didn't spend a great deal of time on it.
The next map will be the Town of Chikuzen from Honor's Veil. It is more important and much bigger so it should look more impressive when it is finished. I mostly posted this should anyone else happen to ever run it or something!

Roast Coffee Pairings #12: Africanized: Taste the Future.
Roast Coffee Pairings #3: Africanized: Taste the Future. Wet-process coffees from Africa can be surprisingly different: Kenyas are over-the-top acidic, while Rwandas have clean and balanced flavor profiles. The Burundi Kayanza Bwayi No.7 lot is quite similar to the latter: it is sweet, faultless, and has the beautiful aroma you might find in Rwandan Bourbon coffees. Ugandas are something quite different; generally available as large, homogenized lots, Ugandas have a rustic fruity sweetness. I happened to find this large lot (Uganda Organic Bugisu) with really nice lemony cup character, a rarity in Uganda. For this pairing, I thought it would be interesting to look at these two, very different lots side-by-side to compare the cup flavors, and to see a bit of the future. Within the next few years I think we will see micro-regional Uganda offerings, as we have this year for the first time from Burundi, and as we did beginning several years ago from Rwanda. While these are both wet-processed coffees, roasted to the same City+ level (424 f bean temp measure on Probat roaster), they are quite different. The Uganda is a nice cup, and more typical of East African coffees. It's a little funky, has heavier body, fruit and a slight herbal quality. The Burundi really shows the potential of East Africa; it's a bourbon cultivar (like much of Rwanda coffee) and a very dense bean. It has zero defects (the Uganda had some under-ripes, some quakers, which we manually removed to some degree), and a refined cup. It reminds me more of a wet-process Central than an African coffee, with clean crisp brightness, raisin fruit note, lighter body. I wouldn't score one of these higher than the other because in their own right, each cup is excellent. But the Uganda tastes more like a dry-process coffee with it's definite fruitiness, and the Burundi is a very well prepared wet-process from a great varietal. - Tom

33rd Annual Forty Ford Day - Web ExclusiveWritten by on July 7, 2009 Fords, Chevys, and Everything Else Make This A Great Show
Forty Ford Day is held the last weekend of June in La Palma Park in Anaheim, California. This year's 33rd annual event was once again organized and hosted by the venerable Forties Limited car club of Southern California with portions of the event proceeds going to support C.H.O.C. (Children's Hospital of Orange County) and the Parkinsons Resource Organization. Though the club is limited to 1939 DeLuxe and 1940 Standard & DeLuxe model early Ford V-8 vehicles, the show is open to vehicles of all makes built on or before 1968. This made for a very large turnout at this year's event, which I estimate was close to 150-plus entries, appearing to be the largest participant turnout in recent memory (I guess in today's economy folks are choosing to stay closer to home and do simpler things like enjoy a local car show). There were, however, a few out-of-state entries from southwest and northwest states, including Nevada, Arizona, and even Oregon participating in this year's show.
The event activities included a 50/50 cash raffle & prize raffle, a bake sale and bar-b-q, and free event Ts to participants (also available for sale to spectators), all admistered and organized by the Forties Limited club members. A DJ provide music and PA service during the event and NSRA safety inspectors were on hand to check out enthusiasts' vehicles for proper mechanical safety, signing off on them if they passed or offering suggestions as to what changes were needed to improve mechanical safety. All in all, as usual, this was a great event for 1940 Ford purists--or automotive enthusiasts. Information for next year's 34th annual event can found by calling 714-968-6440, e-mailing firstname.lastname@example.com, or visiting the club web site http://clubs.hemmings.com/frameset.cfm?club=forties. The event is almost always held the weekend following Father's Day in June. Enjoy the images of stock, restified, street rodded, and hot rodded 1940 Fords (and 1939 DeLuxe models) along with the pre-'68 vehicles in attendance at this year's event.

Last weekend Delia sat on the Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Symposium panel entitled, "The Venerable, the Relatively New & the New," held at the fabulous Central Coast Wine Classic held in San Luis Obispo. Her panel was held at the magnificent Avila Beach Golf Resort and other members of the panel included her colleagues from Opus One and Spottswoode.
The Central Coast Wine Classic is a four-day celebration of gastronomic indulgences held in San Luis Obispo County. Since 1984, the Classic has welcomed the international community of preeminent vintners, sommeliers, chefs, artists, writers and educators to California's Central Coast for a weekend of gastronomic celebration. Festivities include the annual soirée at Hearst Castle in San Simeon, symposia, tastings, cooking demonstrations and dinners prepared by celebrity chefs, as well as the Rare & Fine Wine & Lifestyle Auction that benefits local non-profit organizations through the Central Coast Wine Classic Foundation.
Organizers Archie McLaren and Carissa Chappellet, longtime friends of Delia's, make the event entertaining and it invariably draws a high caliber of the presenters in wine and the culinary arts. This year, Delia had a chance to share stories with her panel attendees about good times past when Viader and Spottswoode shared viticulturist David Abreu and winemaker consultant Tony Soter. She also recalled a memory from back in the 1980's; a particular Viader auction lot at the annual Napa Valley Wine Auction. It was a map of Napa Valley "drawn on" the body of a beautiful Athena sculpted by a local artist. Baroness Philippine de Rothschild, Delia recalls, perceived the strategic location of Opus One right below the navel while Howell Mountain landing on the right breast with Spring Mountain on the left. The Baroness exclaimed "My dear I knew that the location of Opus One was a good one but I am now realizing that aside from very good it is also (sexy) "hot." the crowd got a good laugh as they sipped some of the finest wines from Napa Valley.
The Central Coast Wine Classic foundation focuses on specific projects of 501(c)3 non-profit corporations in the San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara counties whose missions are in the Healing, Performing or Studio Arts. Over the past seven years the Foundation has conferred grants totaling $1,615,943 to 76 such non-profits.
Visit the Central Coast Wine Classic website to learn more, and perhaps you can join Delia next year! Please also subscribe to our blog and come visit us . We'd also like for you to join our email list to stay on top of our new releases and special pre-release offers.

text: Hi, as for the symbols, there are many in the mapping element thread (link). I'm sure there are plenty of wonderful mountain symbols to be found there. As for positioning the mountains, maybe this tutorial can help you out (a bit technical but it explains the basics of how mountains are formed I think). cheers!

text: Photo Gallery Best Space Pictures of 2012: Editor's Picks The sun "smiles," the Mars rover takes a self-portrait, and Endeavour bids farewell in our editor's picks for the year's best space pictures. PUBLISHED Tue Dec 11 23:04:00 EST 2012 0 1 / 21 Helix Nebula The intricate structure of the Helix Nebula, seen in January, is featured as one of National Geographic News editor's picks for the best space pictures of 2012. (See more nebula pictures.)The rust-colored remains of a star like our sun, the Helix puffed up as it died and shed its shells of gas and dust into space.In visible light, fine details in the Helix are largely obscured by dust. But the infrared view—snapped by the European Southern Observatory's VISTA telescope—can pierce this veil to see radiating filaments of cooler gas in the rings as well as a faint halo of thinly spread gas that extends to at least four light-years from the dead star's core.Full story>>Why We Love It"This deep-space picture has an unusual sense of scale: The individual bright spots placed throughout the image give it a 3-D feeling of depth, while the fine detail hints at the huge size of this planetary nebula."—Chris Combs, news photo editor Image courtesy ESO Nightly Swirl A long-exposure picture—posted to the night-sky photography community The World at Night (TWAN) in November—captures the stars' nightly swirl while auroras set the horizon aglow over Australia's Mornington Peninsula.Auroras are born when the sun sends charged particles, known as solar wind, speeding toward Earth's atmosphere, where they slam into oxygen and nitrogen atoms in the ionosphere above the planet's magnetic North and South Poles. The energy released by these collisions creates glowing colors some 60 to 620 miles (97 to 1,000 kilometers) aloft.Full story>>Why We Love It "This is a beautifully simple star-trail photograph. I like the vivid colors on the horizon and the understated foreground. Although it's a good rule of thumb to incorporate a prominent foreground into a night-sky picture like this, sometimes it's best to let the stars do the talking!"—Chris Combs, news photo editor Photograph by Alex Cherney, TWAN Southern Sky Show From their vantage point high above Earth in March, astronauts on the International Space Station were able to capture daybreak (left) and nighttime auroras in a single frame.Snapped over the Indian Ocean, the picture also shows a Russian Soyuz spacecraft (center) and a Progress resupply ship docked at the station.Full story>>Why We Love It"I like the way that this photograph gives a sense of what it must be like to look out the window of a space station every day. It doesn't shy away from the hardware. The little lick of aurora on the right doesn't hurt either!"—Chris Combs, news photo editor Photograph courtesy NASA Witch's Broom This image of a supernova remnant called the Witch's Broom received high commendation in the Deep Space category in the 2012 Astronomy Photographer of the Year competition, whose results were announced in September.Taken by American Robert Franke, the picture shows scattering debris from a Milky Way star that exploded several thousand years ago. These cosmic filaments are part of the Veil Nebula, one of the largest supernova remnants in the sky. It lies some 1,400 light-years away in the constellation Cygnus.Full story>>Why We Love It"It's hard to find deep-space images that give you a sense of shape or structure. Perhaps this is why the 'Pillars of Creation' image was so successful."—Chris Combs, news photo editor Photograph courtesy Robert Franke, APOY/Royal Observatory Arctic Aurora Earth's most famous light formation hangs over a landscape saturated by the glow of a full moon in Longyearbyen, Norway, in June.The photographer, who recently submitted this image to National Geographic's Your Shot, said it was the most beautiful northern lights display he had ever witnessed. Referred to as the aurora borealis around the Arctic Circle, the light show also appears in southern polar latitudes, where it's known as the aurora australis.Full story>>Why We Love It"We have the good fortune of being able to run many beautiful aurora photographs each year. I like the delicate color of the moonlit mountains in this one and the simplicity of the aurora itself."—Chris Combs, news photo editor Photograph by Max Edin, Your Shot Frosty Mars It might look as if someone sculpted a pigeon in the Martian sand. But this image from NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, released in April, shows naturally shaped dunes in the red planet's north polar region, which are lined and speckled by defrosting winter ice.White regions indicate where fine-grained frost still rims the polar dunes. Dark blotches, meanwhile, are most likely made from sediment kicked up by carbon dioxide "geysers" created as ice layers sublimate, or turn directly from a solid to a gas.Full story>>Why We Love It"The grittiness of this image reminded me of dirty, melting snow here on Earth. I try to find space images that bring it home, showing us something familiar that we can relate to."—Chris Combs, news photo editor Image courtesy U. Arizona/NASA "Smiley" Eclipse A solar eclipse turns the disk of the sun into a wide orange grin over Gumaca in the Philippines in May.Although the sun is only minimally covered in this picture, the so-called annular eclipse went on to create a "ring of fire" for sky-watchers in parts of Asia and the U.S. West. (See more annular solar eclipse pictures.)An annular eclipse happens when the moon lines up between Earth and the sun and when the dark moon's apparent diameter is smaller than the visible disk of the sun, leaving a ring—or annulus—of fiery light around the edges.Full story>>Why We Love It"While an astronomer might have been disappointed by these clouds, I felt that they gave this photograph an interesting, brooding feeling. It evokes the same sense of mystery that Earthlings must have felt for thousands of years as the sun grew slowly dark during an eclipse. A more synthetic or 'clean' image of an eclipse doesn't feel as powerful to me as a view like this."—Chris Combs, news photo editor Photograph by Bullit Marquez, AP Space Self-Portrait Astronaut Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin snaps a self-portrait while spacewalking during NASA's Gemini 12 mission in November 1966. Part of a camera (foreground) and the antenna of an unmanned Agena target vehicle—used during the Gemini program for rendezvous and docking practice—are visible in the left corner of the frame.Released in January, the picture is among thousands of high-resolution digital scans that are being created as part of the Project Gemini Online Digital Archive.Full story>>Why We Love It "Many pictures of suited astronauts don't show their faces. I like the sense of humanity in this picture, even though most of his face is in shadow."—Chris Combs, news photo editor Photograph courtesy Arizona State University/NASA Thor's Helmet Before he joins the Avengers, Thor may need to retrieve his helmet—which is floating in space 15,000 light-years away.Also known as NGC 2359, Thor's Helmet is a nebula found in the constellation Canis Major. As seen in this picture from May—taken by the Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory in Chile—the cosmic cloud of dust and gas is being shaped like a winged helm by outpourings of radiation from the massive stars inside.Full story>>Why We Love It"This is a beautiful picture, with a rewarding complexity; as you keep looking, more and more detail turns up. Astro-imagers, take note of the careful colorization that went into this multispectrum image."—Chris Combs, news photo editor Image courtesy SSRO/PROMPT/CTIO Ringed Beauty A steeply inclined orbit gives NASA's Cassini spacecraft a spectacular view of Saturn's rings, composed of ice and rock.Released in November, this image was taken at a distance of about 1.5 million miles (2.4 million kilometers) on August 19, 2012, with a wide-angle camera.Full story>>Why We Love It"The deep shadows and high contrast of this elegant picture remind me of a silver gelatin black-and-white photograph. I cropped a tiny moon off of the very top of this image to keep it simple, and because it wasn't very easy to see once the picture was sized down."—Chris Combs, news photo editor Image courtesy Caltech/SSI/NASA Solar Fireworks A type of solar explosion called a coronal mass ejection sent solar radiation out from the sun at 900 miles per second, as seen in an image released by NASA on September 17.The sudden burst of radiation didn't collide with Earth, but it did hit our planet's magnetic field, producing illuminated auroras in the sky in some parts of the world.Full story>>Why We Love It"I keep a close eye on NASA's solar missions and the site SpaceWeather.com because they give me a few days' advance warning for aurora borealis. They publish many images of the sun that are most useful to a trained eye, but this one is very clear and easy to understand—and awe-inspiring."—Chris Combs, news photo editor Image courtesy SDO/NASA Blooming Seas A phytoplankton bloom traces a figure eight in the South Atlantic Ocean, about 373 miles (600 kilometers) east of the British-held Falkland Islands in a European Space Agency satellite picture from January.Phytoplankton are microscopic organisms that make up the base of the marine food chain. In spring and summer, upwelling nutrients from deeper waters can fuel massive plankton blooms at the surface.Different types and quantities of phytoplankton appear as differently colored blooms, as seen in the varying shades of blue and green above.Full story>>Why We Love It"I like the way that this satellite image has a sense of movement to it; most look so static."—Chris Combs, news photo editor Image courtesy ESA Cloud Curls Loops of wispy clouds rise like smoke rings against a background of stars in March—the products of a NASA rocket launch designed to study the upper-level jet stream. (See more cloud pictures.)The space agency launched five consecutive sounding rockets from its Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia as part of the Anomalous Transport Rocket Experiment, or ATREX. Once aloft, each suborbital rocket released a chemical tracer at altitudes between 50 and 90 miles (80 and 145 kilometers)—near the edge of space.Full story>>Why We Love It"A photojournalism teacher once pointed out to me that the best photos of an event can come before it's supposed to start or well after it's ended. This is a perfect example!"—Chris Combs, news photo editor Photograph courtesy Chris Perry, NASA Triple Fantasy Three stars—including the red dwarf Gliese 667 C (far left)—set over the "super Earth" Gliese 667 Cc in an artist's conception.Such rocky worlds abound around red dwarfs (stars smaller and cooler than our sun), according to March results from the HARPS (High Accuracy Radial velocity Planet Searcher) telescope at the European Southern Observatory. Radial velocity is a planet-hunting technique that looks for wobbles in a star's light, which can indicate the gravitational tugs of orbiting worlds.Full story>>Why We Love It"This illustration does a nice job of showing both the similarities and the differences between this exoplanet and Earth."—Chris Combs, news photo editor Illustration courtesy L. Calçada, ESO Rover Self-Portrait Ready for its closeup but all alone on Mars, NASA's rover Curiosity created this self-portrait on Halloween. The image was stitched together from 55 high-resolution shots snapped by the Mars Hand Lens Imager (MAHLI) perched on the end of Curiosity's robotic arm.The pictures were taken at "Rocknest," the location in Gale Crater where the mission first scoop-sampled Martian soil. Four scoop scars remain visible in the soil in front the rover, while the base of three-mile-high (five-kilometer-high) Mount Sharp rises to the right of Curiosity.Full story>>Why We Love It"I could quibble with the decision to omit the robotic arm from this multiple-exposure composite photograph, but this image does a good job of putting us right there on Mars!"—Chris Combs, news photo editor Image courtesy MSSS/Caltech/NASA Crater Fan A fan-shaped deposit decorates the floor of a Martian impact crater in a NASA Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter picture released in January.The ancient fan looks similar to modern deltas on Earth, which form when water in a channel flows into a larger body of water, as with the Nile Delta in Egypt. As the water spreads out, it moves slower and drops any sediment it's carrying, creating the fanlike structure.Full story>>Why We Love It"I could look at the rich detail of this image all day."—Chris Combs, news photo editor Image courtesy U. Arizona/NASA Star Cradle A February picture from the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope is the most detailed infrared view yet of the Carina Nebula. This bustling stellar nursery sits about 7,500 light-years from Earth and is home to several of the brightest and most massive stars known.Radiation from the hot, young stars inside causes the large nebula to glow brightly in visible light. But the new infrared view can also pierce the space cloud's veil of dust to see hundreds of thousands of fainter stars that were previously invisible.Full story>>Why We Love It"I once watched an artist in Times Square use canned spray paint and a deft hand to make the most fantastic planets and nebulae in a night sky. This image of a real nebula is even more dramatic than his painting!"—Chris Combs, news photo editor Image courtesy ESO Farewell Voyage The last of five shuttles in the U.S. space shuttle program,Endeavour was formally retired in September and made its final aerial journey, bound for the California Science Museum (CSC) in downtown Los Angeles.Endeavour was the youngest of the shuttle fleet, having been built after the 1986 explosion of the Challenger shuttle during liftoff.Full story>>Why We Love It"What a view! There were many photographs of the space shuttles being retired, but few were as eye-catching as this."—Chris Combs, news photo editor Photograph by Sheri Locke, NASA Star Fields This image of the Milky Way's vast star fields hanging over a valley of human-made light was recognized in the 2012 Astronomy Photographer of the Year competition run by the U.K.'s Royal Observatory Greenwich.To get the shot, photographer Tunç Tezel trekked to Uludag National Park near his hometown of Bursa, Turkey. He intended to watch the moon and evening planets, then take in the Perseids meteor shower."We live in a spiral arm of the Milky Way, so when we gaze through the thickness of our galaxy, we see it as a band of dense star fields encircling the sky," said Marek Kukula, the Royal Observatory's public astronomer and a contest judge.Full story>>Why We Love It "I like the way this view of the Milky Way also shows us a compelling foreground landscape. It also hints at the astronomy problems caused by light pollution."—Chris Combs, news photo editor Photograph courtesy Tunç Tezel, APOY/Royal Observatory Stormy Saturn A vortex of storm clouds swirls around Saturn's north pole in this November 27 image taken from about 250,000 miles (about 400,000 kilometers) away by NASA's Cassini spacecraft.Cassini's cameras have revealed a cyclone-like pattern at the pole before but only in infrared wavelengths because the north pole was in darkness during the planet's long winter. As Saturn slowly orbits the sun, light has finally begun to reach the north pole.Full story>>Why We Love It"This picture really gives you a sense of this storm's vast power.

GoodGuys Car Show - Good Guys OcWritten by on August 1, 2007 Contributors: Dakota Wentz It Was A Gas
Ordinarily, when we send a photographer to a rod and custom show like the one the Goodguys held for the very first time at the Orange County Fairgrounds in Costa Mesa, California, the guy is going to walk around to all the trucks and take as many pictures as possible. Unfortunately, this wasn't the case when we assigned our very own Associate Editor Dakota Wentz to cover the show. You see, exotic ethnic foods are very popular in Southern California, and when you throw in the diverse mix of cuisine available from strange foreign lands, sometimes a person can ingest something that might be just a little too rich for their intestines to metabolize in a non-gaseous manner.
As things turned out, this was what happened to young Cody after he located a funky little kiosk selling sweet-and-sour cabbage burritos and spent almost an entire week's pay loading up on the flour tortilla-wrapped mystery bags, ending up with an advanced case of acute gastrointestinal cramps.
Now if this had been your typical run-of-the mill location where everybody has to park their show vehicles and sit there in a chair all day, this could have meant it was all over for Custom Classic Trucks' coverage of the Goodguys' OC show. Fortunately, though, the Orange County Fairgrounds is one of those rare venues with a cruise route through the entire park that allows people to hop into their hot rods or customized classic trucks and cruise right past any magazine types who might be confined to sticking close to a restroom...yep, that's right, every one of these pictures was taken from the same spot. For more information about next year's Goodguys OC show, plus a complete list of approved restaurants in the Orange County area, please visit www.good-guys.com.

Eleanor's: Stylish Bicycle Accessories
Store Profile
- Location: Online
- Specialty: Stylish bike accessories for ladies
- Price range: ($$) Mid-Range
- Website: eleanorsnyc.com
Store History
- Founded: April 2012
- Founded by: Alison Lucien
I used to bike commute to work in the fashion industry here in New York. At the time it was really difficult to find high-quality, fashionable accessories to add a little personal style to my morning ride. I was lost in a sea of unflattering spandex bike shorts, heavy rear racks and metal-mesh baskets that were more take-out delivery than fashion forward. I was looking for accessories that said "chic French girl"—not "Tour de France." I knew I wasn't the only person out there looking for these unique bike accessories so I decided to launch Eleanor's with a collection of products I'd want to use myself. The store is named after my grandmother, who was an avid bike rider.
As a bike commuter in New York, Alison Lucien felt like she was trapped in a world of spandex and ugly bike gear. She went out searching for stylish alternatives and, in the process, launched her own web shop, Eleanor's, which she named after her bike loving grandmother.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Verified Reviewer Great but Somewhat Fragile I bought these in June, and they were the best set of headphones I'd ever had. They had excellent sound quality and bass, and had virtually no sound leakage, so I didn't have to worry about disturbing others. However, after about five months, one of the arm things that connected the can to the headband snapped.

ATLANTA -- On Monday, Walter Amey Jr.'s family worked to finalize funeral plans, still not knowing who was driving the car that killed him just feet away from his house.
Atlanta police say 54-year-old Amey was hit around 9 p.m. Saturday on Abner Place, and dragged several feet.
Sgt. Grey Lyon said officers and paramedics initially thought Amey had been shot, until they further examined his injuries. They were mainly internal and concentrated on his torso. That's when investigators determined he had been hit by a car.
Police admit right now they have no suspect. No witnesses. No vehicle description. Just a bunch of markings, investigators used to re-create the crash.
Friends and family say the paint marks represent Amey's death, but certainly not his life.
"Everything he touched, he put some type of beauty in it. He gave it life and that's just the kind of guy he was," said Amey's daughter, Monica.
Amey made his living landscaping, but neighbors say he often volunteered to tend neighbor's bushes and plants out of love.
"I think that was how he walked into many people's hearts in this community," said Matilyn Hammond, a neighbor that for the past decade has also considered Amey a son.
Matilyn Hammond says Amey stopped by every day to check in.
"It's just so hard to know he's, it's very difficult to know he's not here," she said.
Amey grew up in this neighborhood, making it even more baffling to Monica that someone wouldn't step forward to admit what happened or even offer police clues.
"I need the pieces of the puzzle to be there, to complete the puzzle, to understand, to make everything make sense," his daughter said.
"Hit and runs I think are especially galling because the person that was driving and involved in the crash, no matter who was at fault, ultimately, it's your moral responsibility to stick around and help that other human being," said Rebecca Serna, the Executive Director of the Atlanta Bicycle Coalition.
Serna says this is the city's first bike related fatality in more than a year, but the number of hit and runs has her concerned.
The organization has asked to meet with police to discuss trends and solutions, but says there's little a rider can do if the vehicle driver is distracted.
"Yu could glance away for what you think is just a second at your phone, but especially if you're traveling at a high speed, you actually cover a lot of ground in that time," said Serna.
In lieu of flowers, Amey's family has set up a fund to help pay for funeral expenses. Donations can be mailed to: William Gayleano Murray & Son Funeral Home, 923 McDaniel Street SW, Atlanta, GA 30310 or by calling: (404) 963-5634.

Thanks for the shout-out, Wes. I get a lot of great leads for topics to include in my songs from libertarian sites like yours and Radley Balko's, so I thank you for both your past and future work in the name of freedom - both musical and otherwise.

No problem, Eric! You've got mad skills, I believe that you're not thinking big enough- that you could do even bigger things with your talent than News in Song... like write a top ten hit ballad that emotionally blows people out of the water as they consider what's going on in the world... or something. I don't even know!

I love the creative and humorous "edutainment" that characterized that recent Hayek vs. Keynes Rap, "Fear the Boom and Bust," and I think that kind of work is valuable to our movement... but I think deeply poignant, fine artwork is even more important, and it's something we lack desperately.
The Fabians, fascists, and other socialist "progressives" have monopolized it for too long. Listen to Rage Against the Machine. They move me and I sympathize with many of their grievances and causes. But their ultimate solution is Marxism.

Narrow escape
Terrorism | A Florida family, unlike at least 163 others, lives to tell about Mumbai's terror
"Narrow escape" Continued...
The Allen family had just returned to their hotel room in Mumbai, India, when they heard what sounded like the fireworks of a local wedding celebration. Minutes later the sounds were closer, and a series of grenade explosions and screams clued them in to the horrific events unfolding around them. The Florida family would spend the next 48 hours hiding under their bed in the Taj Mahal Palace & Tower Hotel, texting friends and embassy workers as they listened to the terrifying screams of people being yanked from their rooms and shot to death. Although the couple prayed fervently for a rescue, they knew God's will could be otherwise and placed a relative's phone number inside their younger son's pocket in case the couple didn't survive. "When my youngest said he didn't want to go to my funeral and my oldest said we live together and we want to die together, it really, really hit home that this was no joke and the potential was there that we'd be going out in body bags," Maxine Allen said.
The 105-year-old hotel was one of 10 sites attacked during the 60-hour massacre that left at least 163 people dead-including six Americans-and 239 injured. Dozens of people never made it out of the Taj Mahal Hotel alive. But Luis and Maxine Allen and their two sons-13-year-old Brandon and 10-year-old Jonathan-were spared. When they first realized there were gunshots down the hall on the night of Wednesday, Nov. 26, they phoned the front desk. The woman who answered was unaware of an attack, but said she would look into it and call them back. She never did.
Minutes later, they heard a bloodcurdling scream. "You heard them banging on doors down the hallway. Then this man shouted, 'No, no, no!' and that was followed by blasts of rapid fire. We realized they were pulling people out of their rooms and killing them, and that's exactly what we learned later in reports," Allen said, adding that she can still close her eyes and hear that woman's terrified scream.
While many American families gathered to enjoy Thanksgiving dinner, the Allens spent most of the next 48 hours under their room's king-size bed with their two boys sandwiched between them. Gunshots and grenades resonated throughout the hotel, shaking the floor of their second-story room, and drifting smoke threatened to drive them out of hiding. Allen thanked God that her boys weren't alone in the room as they had been just hours before the attack when the couple was out taking pictures of the hotel.
The couple used their iPhone to text embassy workers, friends, and their pastor about their situation and location. They quietly emerged from under the bed only a few times to briefly stretch and grab something to eat from the hotel's mini-bar. Miraculously, both boys slept through the first night and much of Thursday, missing the most intense moments of the attack. On Friday, the Mumbai chief of police contacted the family on their phone with news of a planned rescue. When Indian commandos knocked on their door that evening and said the code word, "shiva," the family grabbed a few small bags and left the room. "That's when you realize how little you need in life," Allen noted.
The scene that unfolded before their eyes was even more devastating than they had anticipated. Every door in their hallway had been knocked down with the exception of the two doors leading to their rooms-a sure sign of God's divine protection, Allen said. As they made their way out of the hotel, they had to freeze at every corner so security forces could scan the next corridor for any signs of remaining terrorists. Allen's husband had to remove his squeaky shoes during their escape, and when he examined his socks after the rescue, he realized they had been walking in pools of blood during their exit. The remaining terrorist was killed the following morning.
The Allens flew out of Mumbai just hours after their rescue and arrived home in Maitland, Fla., late Saturday night, Nov. 29. Luis, a psychiatrist, and Maxine, a realtor, have since returned to work, and Brandon and Jonathan returned to their eighth- and fifth-grade classes at Orangewood Christian School the following Monday. And yet life is anything but routine for this grateful family. Maxine says she's never been so happy to sit in the school carpool line. "I feel that if you've been spared-if you've been brought back literally from the edge-that you have to look up and give yourself as a living sacrifice to the Lord and find out what is it He wants for you," Allen said.
At least 10 gunmen, who received high-level training at a terrorist camp in Pakistan, carried out the attacks in Mumbai, once known as Bombay, the financial capital of India and the second most populous city in the world. With AK-47s the gunmen fanned out from the city's waterfront in what at first looked like a random shooting spree, targeting Westerners and lasting 60 hours. At one Jewish center the gunmen killed six Jews. Indian commandoes eventually killed nine of the assailants and captured one alive, Ajmal Amir Kasab. Under interrogation Kasab said a group of about 24 underwent training for the mission in Pakistan, which included recitation of the Quran and lectures on jihad. Blood tests revealed that the men used steroids to improve strength and relied on cocaine and other stimulants to remain alert without eating throughout the prolonged attacks. India's government, criticized for its delayed response to the attacks, may strike against Pakistan, which is already under pressure from the United States to rein in its radical Islamist groups.
(Editor's Note: This article has been corrected to reflect that since press time government officials in India have revised the death toll to 163.)

I like it very much. I can't address the relationship to the CWBP and whatnot but aesthetically, very clean and nice.
I decided to work on some city mapping. Amfissa is one of the larger cities on the Luwath Peninsula. It sits on a bit of land separating a pair of lakes. Its possition inspired the canal and I decided to make it a center of religious scholarship as well as comerce. Its a large city by medieval standards 20-30k permanent inhabitants (someone please correct me if the map at this scale is too large or too small for that population, its all guesswork at this end how physically big the city should be.)
Anyhow this is it, C&C please.
I like it very much. I can't address the relationship to the CWBP and whatnot but aesthetically, very clean and nice.

My Maps ~ My Brushes ~ My Tutorials ~ My Challenge Maps
Its a very nice map. I like the nice clean lines and especially the layout. Its got nice spaced out places which reminds me of places in say Palestine / Jordan or Greece where they seemed to build temples out on there own more than as part of a city. I assume that theres more houses in that city but it feels good to highlight these special places.
Anyway - I put you on the map as it were... fits pretty well too ! This is what it looks like to scale. If you feel like it you can do a little region around it to tie it in a bit more but most people haven't.

Fleeting images
Culture | Addiction to porn is keeping many Christian men from a mature relationship with Christ and a marriage relationship with a woman
Richard grew up in a conservative Christian home and encountered pornography when a 10th-grade classmate slipped a photo into his math book. He remembers the picture as "repulsive" but "very intriguing. I knew it was wrong." Later in college he turned to internet pornography after breaking up with his longtime girlfriend.
Richard (we're using only first names to preserve privacy), now a youth pastor in his mid-30s, cites his 15-year addiction to pornography as the prime reason he's still single: "It has kept me from healthy relationships with women [and] drastically affected my maturity in Christ." He's not alone: In only one generation the average marriage age in the United States today jumped from the early 20s to 29 for men and 27 for women.
Many analysts have described how increased cohabitation, mounting college debt, and a greater focus on higher education and careers contribute to the higher marriage age. The largely ignored factor is internet pornography, but our extensive interviewing shows porn is leaving relationships stillborn or destroyed.
Internet porn is causing physical and moral damage to people inside and out of the church, affecting their relationships with God and each other. Yet even as porn seeps into more and more lives, churches still shrink back from engaging the issue. That must change.
From ancient Rome to China, archeologists have found paintings, pottery, and sculptures depicting sexual acts that date back thousands of years. But the internet has been for porn what the printing press was for books, providing users with endless images on their computers and smartphones in complete privacy. A full-blown addiction that took nine to 12 months to develop 30 years ago now happens in three or four weeks.
Web users entered almost 1.5 billion searches for internet porn in the first eight months of 2013—averaging five for every person living in the United States. And it's not only men visiting these sites: Women make up one-third of the traffic (see sidebar below).
It's difficult to conduct sound research on pornography addictions—in part because researchers can't find candidates to form control groups of people who don't use porn—but mainstream studies agree it rewires the brain and changes behavior. Porn accompanied by masturbation overexposes the brain to pleasure chemicals including dopamine and serotonin. The brain builds a tolerance to the high amount of chemicals, and the user requires more and more stimulus to get the same rush.
In a 2008 study, Brigham Young University professor Jason Carroll also found acceptance of pornography was significantly correlated with desires for later marriage and lower levels of child-centeredness. If men are locked in their rooms surfing the Web, they're not out interacting with women. When they do interact with women, they're more likely to look at them as objects and have unrealistic standards of physical beauty.
Porn addiction isn't only a moral problem: Scores of men, even teenagers, are developing erectile dysfunction from excessive porn use and masturbation. Tens of thousands of men are turning to online support groups like NoFap on Reddit.com to overcome porn and masturbation for nonreligious reasons.
Things don't look that different in the church: While nobody knows the exact number of Christian men struggling with porn, a 2000 Focus on the Family/Zogby poll found born-again Christians were only slightly less likely to use pornography than the general public (18 percent compared to 21 percent). And with 87 percent of men between 18 and 26 using pornography, according to the 2008 BYU study, the number of Christian men struggling today has likely increased as well.
Jim Denison, former pastor of the 10,000-member Park Cities Baptist church in Dallas, said he took an anonymous survey of 300 men at a 6:30 a.m. Bible study and found 70 percent were struggling with porn. "This is not the peripheral member who comes occasionally," he said. "These are the committee members, the staff members, and the deacons."
Richard, who is also a seminary student, explained the entrapment as a series of small decisions: One evening he's doing homework after watching a movie. He takes a break and decides to google pictures of that cute actress in the movie. Then his mind wanders to what she looks like in a bikini—and with one click he can see it. "At that point, the snowball is way too big" to stop, Richard said, and leads to pornography and masturbation: "You walk away saying I shouldn't have done that, but you also walk away feeling physically satisfied."
Richard said the hardest part is porn's effects on his relationships with God, other people, and potential spouses. "You carry around shame constantly from your sin," he said. "There's no reprieve. … It really owns you." He said sexual temptation is not something men can simply resist, which is why he physically walks away when temptation hits: "There's a reason Paul tells us to flee from sexual immorality."
By extension, a problem afflicting so many men affects just as many women. Lindsey Wagstaffe, 21, said several men who have pursued her admitted to struggling with pornography. They usually raise the issue at the start of the relationship, and her first reaction is compassion.
But personally, the questions haunt her: "Will my husband compare my body and actions with other women's bodies and actions whenever we're intimate?" "If my future husband found me more beautiful, would that help him stop fantasizing about having sex with women who aren't his wife?" And the biggest question: "Am I only an 'it' to this man … that possesses a body to be used?"
Some girlfriends are stuck in a difficult place: not committed in marriage, but still in love. Wagstaffe said porn has kept many of her friends in their 20s and 30s single, as they haven't been pursued by godly men. She believes it's important to look at the underlying causes of the addiction—often spiritual immaturity: "I would definitely, absolutely marry a man who has a history with pornography and is currently experiencing more regular victory over it. But I haven't considered it wise to pursue unity with someone who is currently in the grip of an addiction."
John Piper agrees: Wagstaffe asked him if a boyfriend's porn addiction should be a deal-breaker—Piper's response became one of his most popular podcasts ever. He noted four problems with porn: It is unloving to the women pictured, adulterous, destructive to man's capacity to love real women, and destructive to a man's soul and his capacity to see God.
Piper said if a man can't control his lust, women should see that as a deal-breaker: "An overall satisfying relationship with Jesus means that Jesus is precious enough so that we value Him above [porn]. … A man who says I embrace all that destruction … is saying something that a woman who is about to marry him better hear loud and clear."
Denison, who leads the Denison Forum on Culture and Truth, said women should anticipate men having a problem with pornography and not be afraid to bring it up if the man doesn't do so first—which Denison said men should do before engagement: "Don't ignore it or think they'll outgrow it or think it will go away with marriage."
Andy, a 29-year-old professional athlete who was first exposed to porn at age 10, had already been in recovery for several years when he married his wife in 2011. He was clean for the first two years of marriage, then relapsed in March of this year and struggled for months. On his 60th day of sobriety he said, "I have to surrender my thoughts and feelings to God on a moment-by-moment basis. There have been times I've gotten on my knees [to pray] in the middle of the day, because I feel like I'm under attack."
Andy said he is transparent with his wife but doesn't tell her about every lustful thought. That's why he stays plugged in to his support group of men: "No woman will ever understand what a guy goes through—sex addict or not. … It's too much of a burden to put on my wife." He hadn't had sex with his wife in months—he's earning back her trust—but considers himself lucky: "I'd rather be married and working through this than going through a divorce."
Tens of thousands of men are turning to online support groups like NoFap on Reddit.com to overcome porn.
While porn is wreaking havoc within the church, Christians have done little to address the issue. Among pastors who broach the subject, most only give it a passing reference, and virtually all direct comments to men—leaving out women and children, whose porn usage is on the rise. Daniel Weiss of Brushfire Foundation, an organization that promotes a positive view of sexuality, said, "We have a situation where the whole world is talking about it, but the church and young people are looking for answers outside the church."
In the absence of the church and proactive parenting, many children look to the internet to understand sexuality. The result: The average addict is exposed to porn between the ages of 10 and 12, and teens use porn more than any other age group. Ninety percent of all boys and 60 percent of all girls will see pornography before they turn 18—including large amounts of deviant behavior, such as bestiality, group sex, and child porn.
Churches often expect one-time fixes through prayer or confession, but addicts get frustrated and start doubting God when they end up slipping back to pornography. "When we only talk about it from the moral view, we are doing listeners a terrible disservice," said David Zailer, a former porn and drug addict who now heads Operation Integrity, a porn recovery organization that started in California: "They already know it's wrong. The problem is people will stop but generally go back to it because they're stuck in isolation."
Operation Integrity and other groups treat porn users like drug and alcohol addicts, combining counseling and education with weekly meetings where men can find encouragement. They are expanding but not as fast as pornography, Zailer said, yet more churches are recognizing the problem: "You have recovery programs in churches where people speak to the reality of addiction not just in past but current tense … people who have grown up living in addiction have found freedom."
Richard's church doesn't offer a porn recovery program, but with the help of accountability partners, he's making progress in his battle against pornography: He's been clean for three months. While his pastor and mentors think he's ready to pursue marriage, Richard is waiting: "I will not move forward until I feel like I can. … Ultimately, I'm a man and I need to be walking with God in such a way I can make that decision."
One woman's struggle
Christine Reyes started watching porn at the age of 8 after finding a hidden stash of her stepfather's VHS tapes. She didn't understand it but knew it was forbidden. Her stepfather would often tell the children to leave the room as he watched porn with his friends—her mom would leave voluntarily. As her family situation predictably worsened, Reyes continued turning to pornography for comfort and escape.
Now 26, Reyes said she had never spoken out about her addiction prior to speaking with WORLD. But she is hardly an anomaly: The 2008 BYU study found 31 percent of women between 18 and 26 use pornography. Reyes said she watched porn with classmates and babysitters as early as second grade. By the time she was in her teens, she was watching porn two to four hours a day—and it molded her perceptions about sexuality.
"Watching porn made it OK to have same-sex attractions, it made it OK to be experimental, it made it OK to have no boundaries," Reyes said. "It was almost like my validation. … 'If I do X,Y, and Z, I'll have a satisfied relationship.'" While she watched porn with her boyfriends to be "one of the guys," it crushed her self-esteem knowing she would never be as satisfying as the women on the screen.
Five years ago a co-worker explained the gospel to Reyes, and she professed Christ. But old habits persisted even as she started reading the Bible and going to church, where no one talked about porn use. Reuniting with her unbelieving boyfriend led to more promiscuity: Every time she decided to abstain from sex, she feared her boyfriend would leave her, so she went back to sleeping with him.
Eventually they moved in together, with Reyes hoping it would bring them closer together and lead to marriage. As a compromise to abstain from sex, they started watching porn together.
"I thought if I can't have sex now that I'm a Christian, [porn] will be my release," she said. "I kept thinking this will keep me pure. It really didn't. It just motivates you to have sex or watch more porn."
She knew what she was doing displeased God, yet she didn't want to let her boyfriend go. "Porn became the thing that I was using to show I'm really [hurt] that we're living together and you won't marry me." She finally realized she had to break off the relationship. She did, and repented. She's been porn free for a year and a half now, but it hasn't been easy: Reyes is careful with the movies she watches and is continually in prayer because even public displays of affection can trigger desires to watch porn.
She urges churches to create safe spaces for people to discuss their struggles: "Women who struggle don't want to be judged. They wonder 'Where do you go from here? What can you do?'"

Team Autographed Stanford Men's Basketball Available
By ROB GLOSTER
AP Sports Writer
Stanford beats Arizona on a 3-pointer at the buzzer.
100k | 300k
STANFORD, Calif. - Nick Robinson scooped up the ball, glanced at the clock, took a couple of dribbles and let it fly. Then came the roar, and the next thing he knew he was at the bottom of a pile of delirious Stanford students.
Robinson hit a running 3-pointer from about 35 feet at the buzzer, and No. 2 Stanford survived a late scare to defeat No. 12 Arizona 80-77 Saturday and remain one of the nation's two undefeated Division I teams.
The Cardinal, who tied a school record with their 20th straight victory, came from four points behind in the final minute after Arizona went on a 19-6 run to take the lead.
The winning shot was set up when Robinson and Matt Lottich trapped Arizona's Salim Stoudamire, knocking the ball loose.
"The ball was suddenly in front of me. I looked at the clock and there was two seconds left. I went right for the basket. I knew I had to get a shot off," said Robinson, who started at forward only because of leg injuries to Justin Davis and Matt Haryasz.
The crowd, which included Stanford alum Tiger Woods, stormed the court to surround the Cardinal (20-0, 11-0 Pac-10).
The loss ended a streak of four straight wins for Arizona (14-6, 6-5) at Stanford's Maples Pavilion, where hundreds of students camped outside starting Tuesday.
"We didn't take care of ourselves in the last minute," said Arizona's Channing Frye, who had a 3-pointer and dunk to cap a 14-0 run that gave the Wildcats a 72-67 lead with less than four minutes remaining. "We should have beat them and could have beat them in this game, we've done it before."
With Stanford trailing 77-73, Josh Childress made one of two free throws with 43 seconds left. A steal by Lottich then led to Childress' 3-pointer from the corner to tie the game with 24 seconds to go.
"When you leave it to the last possession, it's always a coin flip. They made the plays that they needed, especially those two key steals at the end," said Arizona's Lute Olson, who was coaching his 950th college game. "We just really messed it up."
I'm starting to think this group is something special. It was an unbelievable game. This is just another step in what's turning out to be a doggone good season."
Stanford Head Coach Mike Montgomery
Stanford also began the 2000-01 season with 20 straight wins. The Cardinal went 31-3 that year, eventually losing to Maryland in the round of eight in the NCAA tournament.
Arizona has been ranked as high as fourth this season, but now has lost three of its last four games - all on the road. The Wildcats began their long weekend in the San Francisco Bay area with an 87-83 loss at California.
Stoudamire had 24 points for the Wildcats, including a long 3-pointer that gave Arizona the 77-73 lead with 58 seconds left.
Leading 44-35 at halftime, Stanford seemed to regain control after Arizona had pulled within two points early in the second half. Chris Hernandez, who led the Cardinal with 20 points, hit a couple of long 3-pointers to short-circuit an Arizona run shortly after halftime.
The Cardinal led 67-58 when Arizona found its shooting touch and added some uncharacteristically tough defense, holding Stanford scoreless for more than seven minutes.
Andre Iguodala had a 3-pointer and a dunk and then the 6-foot-11 Frye did the same in the 14-0 run that put Arizona in the lead in the closing minutes.
When Robinson got the loose ball with seconds left, Stanford coach Mike Montgomery was relieved his team appeared to be heading to overtime.
"To be down by four that late and to come back, that's just luck in that situation. I'm starting to think this group is something special. It was an unbelievable game," Montgomery said.
"This is just another step in what's turning out to be a doggone good season."
Stanford head coach Mike Montgomery
"I'm starting to think that this group is something special. Arizona was very good. The second half, they were spectacular. We had a nine point lead that we gave up. We were fortunate on turnovers. We had a foul to give, so we wanted to be aggressive. Josh hit a big three. We were just fortunate to have a foul in our pocket. The one-third court shot: certainly some luck involved. In the course of this rivalry, Arizona has beat on occasions where it tore our heart out. I'm so proud of these guys, losing two big players and coming back with the last two wins. They shot sixty percent in the second-half...we couldn't stop them. Every time we made a mistake they capitalized. We had no choice, we had to get out and
Arizona head coach Lute Olson
"It was a great game. Both teams played hard and competed. They made plays that needed to be made. They came up with two key steals when they need them. The game was won in the first half when they jumped on us early. We have to play every possession like it's the last one and we didn't. We certainly didn't quit. We came back hard, defended well. It's a difficult game to talk about what might have been. We played exceptionally well in the second half. They found some things that worked and took advantage of them when they were pulling away from us. Joe Kirchofer did a solid job when he came in. He knows what the team needs, and he came in and did what he could do. Salim Stoudamire showed the most leadership of the year tonight. He had a break out game in that regard. We were having a hard time getting the same effort out of everyone. The last sequence, they had a foul to give. We wanted to spread the floor and get a last shot inside four seconds. We wanted to put the ball in Salim Stoudamire's hands with a pick. Without Justin Davis and Matt Haryasz, they all stepped up. It's a mature club. They understand which guys can do what. Chris Hernandez is the most valuable player on that team. He knows when to take it up. I'm not sure there's a better point player in the conference than Chris Hernandez. He's a winner. He gets the best out of everyone he plays...the kind of guy we all look for. We competed very hard. Will we learn from it? I hope so. When you leave the game to the final possession, it's like flipping a coin.
"Matt Lottich was playing good defense on Salim Stoudamire. All of a sudden, the ball was loose. I caught it and looked at the clock and saw the last two seconds. I took it as fast as I could and just shot it. I knew we needed to get a shot off, so I just took it."

Part 8: Finishing Touches to Get Ready to RaceWritten by on October 1, 2004 We put the finishing touches on the Stealth Bomber
Well, we're on the home stretch. We're three days away from the NevadaOpen Road Challenge at the time of this writing. by the time this hitsthe newsstands, we will have already completed the race and, hopefully,finished shiny side up. If you've been following along, you know we'vebeen preparing our Project Stealth Bomber '89 Diplomat police car forthe Nevada Open Road Challenge (NORC)--an open-road race in Ely, Nevada,spanning a 90-mile stretch of Highway 318. For the uninitiated, we tookone slightly worn ex-patrol car, rebuilt and beefed the A999 automatictrans, freshened up the front suspension, added some modificationsincluding Koni shocks and a Quickor sway bar, put a 2.76 gear and alimited slip in the 8.25-inch rearend, and dropped in a warmed-over 360to provide forward thrust. We would be competing in the 110-mph classwith a whole gaggle of much more exotic iron.
This final installment before the race focuses on safety equipment. Wecannot overstate the importance of safety, particularly in this form ofracing. While all racing should be treated with respect from a safetystandpoint, open-road racing is serious business. sustained high-speedsand varying course conditions require a level of preparation not foundin many other forms of racing, from a mechanical perspective as well asa mental perspective. While the Silver State Classic Challenge web siteclearly explains the rules of preparation for the event, be sure thetechnical inspection won't overlook any shortcomings or shortcuts youmay have taken to prepare your steed. As you will see, we've goneoverboard with the safety equipment, but that's not a bad thing as weintend to step the interceptor up in class in the future. Always betterto have more safety equipment than what is required. We also addedbigger front disc brakes from a '79 Plymouth Gran Fury police car, newhigh-speed tires, and a slew of other items to make the Stealth Bomber abetter car and open-road racer.
Rubber Donuts
Tires are the hottest issue in open-road-type racing as they can meanthe difference between successfully completing the event and balling upyour ride. When we set out to find a suitable tire for our needs, therealization that 15-inch tires are no longer en vogue became crystalclear. Don't take us wrong, there are plenty of 15s available, but notstreet-legal, V-rated tires. A V-rating means the tire is capable ofsustained 149 mph. So, with that in mind, we looked into the realm of anemergency vehicle tire. Not only are they speed rated, they are held toa much higher standard than ordinary tires. we opted for Firestone'sexcellent PV41 Firehawk series of tires. The PV in PV41 stands forPursuit Vehicle. Keep in mind, the Stealth Bomber isn't the lightestweight vehicle to ever hit the road, and, in fact, "portly" is puttingit mildly. The PV41 tire was designed for police vehicles, traditionallyheavy and large four-door sedans laden with a boatload of additionalemergency equipment. Wanting the biggest contact patch available, wespec'd Firestone's 235/70/R15. Before you scoff at the height of thesetires measuring a full 28-inches tall, remember the NORC features widesweeping turns, therefore the tall sidewalls won't be a detriment.

The SSCC (Silver State Classic Challenge) demands a high-quality metalvalve stem be used. Arcadia Firestone provided the stems and caps.We took our salvage-yard-issue police steelies (15x7-inches) over toArcadia Firestone for mounting and balancing.Technician Glenn Starr mounted and dynamically speed balanced our tiresto ensure that our ride would be glass smooth at triple-digit speeds.The last thing you want is an unbalanced tire when traveling atsustained high-speeds.<b>Brake Dancing</b>While combing through our local boneyard one fine Saturday afternoon, wecame across a '79 Gran Fury police car. It turned out to be a treasuretrove of special parts, including a set of 113/4-inch disc brakes. Thesebrakes will bolt right up as long as you take the caliper brackets aswell, making it an easy swap. The brackets move the existing caliperoutward. Once we had the rotors resurfaced, we took the opportunity toreplace the wafer-thin pads with new semimetallic pads from our localparts emporium.However slight, the caliper brackets on the big brakes (11.75 inches vs.11 inches) moves the caliper out farther, clearing the larger rotor.A high-speed misfire above 5,500 rpm prompted us to visit GlendoraDodge's parts department for a "chrome box" ECU. It's a directreplacement for the orange box, and provides a stronger spark at higherengine speeds than the entry-level orange unit.A Summit Racing driveshaft loop was ordered for obvious reasons, eventhough we replaced our ailing u-joints. Though it's not required in ourspeed class, we felt it was a good piece of insurance in the unfortunateevent of a u-joint failure.The new rotors are nearly 1-inch larger in diameter, necessitating thecorresponding caliper brackets. But that's it, you can use your stockcalipers and still have big brakes.We also seized this opportunity to replace the wheel bearings andseals--a good idea when demanding sustained high speeds from yourvehicle. Mobil 1 synthetic grease is always a good idea, but not anoption with this type of an application where heat, a byproduct ofspeed, will be prevalent. It's worth the extra bread.
(above & right) JAZ rollbar padding was also procured from Summit Racing to keep ournoggins protected from making contact with the Competition Engineeringrollbar. The padding mounts via Velcro.Bill Simpson's Impact Racing harnesses were used for the driver andnavigator. These five-point harnesses mount using the factory lap-belthardware. The shoulder belts wrap around the roll bar, requiring you todrill only one hole for the submarine belt. Installation is a snap. theyprovide the necessary security and look sharp.Another safety feature not required, but one we felt was a good idea,was the addition of hood pins. We can think of few things less pleasantthan having your hood open at triple-digit speeds. Our local parts housewas the source for this inexpensive bit of insurance.Our buddy Robert Hendrix drilled through the hood after drilling a pilothole through the underside in the spot where the bumpstop rests when thehood is closed.(above & right) In our haste to get the Diplomat running, we cobbled our fuel systemtogether using pieces of old braided steel line, hose clamps, the oldfuel filter, some duct tape, bubblegum, and bailing wire. We went toHolley for Earl's Plumbing Super Stock fuel line (3/8-inch) and theirSuper Stock push-on fittings. This fuel line is a nice alternative to abraided hose. The remainder of the fuel system remained stock, save forthe Holley mechanical fuel pump.
(above & below left) Earl's suggested we use assembly lube to mate the fittings to the hose,but we substituted 20W50 motor oil. Use it sparingly.(above & right) Due to the gear swap (2.76 vs. 2.94) and tall tire combination (28inches), we had no way of accurately measuring our speed. So, wecontacted Garmin Industries, maker of some of the most cutting edgeGlobal Positioning Satellite (GPS) units. They provided us with one oftheir GPS V systems. We used three of its many functions during theNORC: real speed, average speed, and the trip meter.Since Highway 318 (the location of the NORC) is located in the middle ofNevada's high desert, a Garmin Mighty Mouse II antenna was mounted inour rear window to make absolutely sure we could acquire the necessarysatellites.As with our motor oil and rearend gear lube, we utilized Royal Purple'sexcellent synthetic transmission fluid. Even though equipped with a goodfactory police transmission cooler, the extra insurance offered bysynthetic trans fluid was comforting.Due to our less-than-stellar aerodynamics, we decided to build a chinspoiler from sheet aluminum to direct air out from underneath the car.This will plant the front-end more firmly at speed. And believe us whenwe tell you, a Diplomat is aerodynamically challenged with the same dragcoefficient as a vending machine. Jim Sleeper used air-operated snips tocut out the spoiler, mimicking the shape of the front bumper.

July reading list in red, white and blue
(Page 3 of 3)
For me, the greatest American novel is "The Adventures of Augie March" by Saul Bellow. Both the author and the narrator are immigrants, yet the book is an homage to American individualism. In the famous opening lines of the novel, the author's protagonist says:
"I am an American, Chicago born — Chicago, that somber city — and go at things as I have taught myself, free-style, and will make the record in my own way: first knock, first admitted; sometimes an innocent knock, sometimes a not so innocent knock. But a man's character is his fate, says Heraclitus, and in the end there isn't any way to disguise the nature of the knocks by acoustical work on the door or gloving the knuckles."
Augie, Huck, Scout, Cal, Scarlett, Rhett, Ishmael, Don Corleone, Atticus and hundreds of other fictional characters tell the story of America. They tell it better than any history book, because they come to life on the page and they walk the land we love.

CAMERON - With only 10 regular-season games in high school football, if you are entertaining any thoughts of sniffing the playoffs down the road, you can't let any get away.
And winning at least one of your first two games is a key component to that.
That is something that both Cameron and Valley will have in mind Friday night when interim coach Jim West takes his Lumberjacks on the road once again to battle Jim Rogers' Dragons.
Article Photos
It doesn't get any easier for senior running back Devin Starcher and the Cameron Dragons. This week another rival, this time Valley, is set to invade.
Photo by Art Limann
Both teams are coming off losses and could use a big victory as a springboard to future success. Cameron stayed close to Bishop Donahue for a half before dropping a 41-26 verdict while Valley was blanked 49-0 last Saturday night at Weirton Madonna.
''We had a bunch of things happen at Madonna, but it is all things that can be corrected,'' West said.
For the Wetzel County squad, it will once again be without the services of longtime coach Tom West, who is still recovering from surgery. Once again taking charge will be his son, and assistant coach, Jim.
The biggest difference between the squads' respective performances last week was that the Dragons had little problems moving the football, racking up 315 total yards, while the Jacks finished with 122, while allowing a whopping 434.
''I was really impressed with our kids. We came out with a fire and really got after it,'' Rogers said. ''But we didn't always help our new quarterback, dropping a couple of touchdown passes and missing some extra points.''
Cameron will be more balanced than the Blue Dons, with 6-foot-8 sophomore quarterback Logan Routt able to put the ball in the air, throwing for 197 yards, two touchdowns and three picks a week ago, or run the ball.
''Logan is going to be a good one,'' Rogers said. ''He is just a sophomore and we like him a lot.''
Hunter Yoders picked up 60 yards and scored a pair of touchdowns on 11 carries last week while sophomore Clayton Ward added 50 on seven tries. Mark Walker hauled in six passes for 67 yards while Shane Williams had three for 79 and a score and Ivan Hall a pair of grabs for 35 yards and a touchdown.
''The Yoders kid is a good, shifty runner that we will need to contain,'' West added. ''They are a pretty good team and we were impressed with them last week.
''It seems like they run a lot of shotgun with that big quarterback and he does a good job hitting those quick passes and getting rid of the football and we will need to focus on stopping that.''
The Dragons did allow 202 yards on the ground to the Bishops a week ago, something that has to be a concern with Valley bringing 305-pound senior fullback Spencer Mason to town.
Mason was one of the lone bright spots for the Lumberjacks at Madonna, rushing for 96 yards on 23 carries, and finishing with all but seven of Valley's yards on the ground.
''This is another typical Valley High football team,'' Rogers said. ''They have big kids on both sides of the line and a big fullback who just brings it at you. It has been the same thing for many years for them."
Junior quarterback Triston Kocher had little luck through the air, hitting just 2 of 10 tries for 19 yards, but he and the Jacks did take care of the football with no turnovers and were flagged just five times for 25 yards.
''Last Saturday was the first time Spencer (Mason) ran the football and we weren't real sure how well it might go, but it worked great,'' West said. ''He hit the holes good and the line was surging, but we still need to find a way to get other kids involved.''

What's the difference between mental health and mental illness? Sometimes the answer is clear, but often the distinction between mental health and mental illness isn't so obvious. For example, if you're afraid of giving a speech in public, does it mean you have a mental health condition or a run-of-the-mill case of nerves? Or, when does shyness become a case of social phobia?
Here's help understanding how mental health conditions are identified.
It's often difficult to distinguish normal mental health from mental illness because there's no easy test to show if something's wrong. Also, primary mental health conditions can be mimicked by physical disorders. Mental health conditions are judged not to be due to a physical disorder and are diagnosed and treated based on signs and symptoms, as well as on how much the condition affects your daily life. Signs and symptoms can affect your:
The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) is a guide published by the American Psychiatric Association that explains the signs and symptoms of several hundred mental health conditions.
Mental health providers use the DSM to diagnose everything from anorexia to voyeurism and, if necessary, determine appropriate treatment. Health insurance companies also use the DSM to determine coverage and benefits and to reimburse mental health providers.
To determine if you have a mental health condition, a mental health provider will work with you and your loved ones to assess:
Each mental health condition has its own set of signs and symptoms. In general, however, professional help may be warranted if you or a loved one experiences:
Many people who have mental health conditions consider their signs and symptoms a normal part of life or avoid treatment out of shame or fear. If you're concerned about your mental health or a loved one's mental health, don't hesitate to seek advice.
Consult your family doctor, make an appointment with a counselor or psychologist, or encourage your loved one to seek help. With appropriate support, you can identify mental health conditions and explore treatment options, such as medications or counseling.
