FTR Shippers' Condition Index continues on an upward path
July 22, 2011
As was the case a month ago, FTR Associates reported that while business conditions remain largely uncertain, things are improving for shippers.
That was the consensus of the firm's most recent edition of its Shippers' Condition Index (SCI). The SCI is based on "all market influences that affect shippers," with a reading of zero reflecting a solid environment and anything below zero reflecting an unfavorable environment.
The most recent SCI reading is -3.6, which is up from -5.4 in June and -11.4 in May, which marked the worst SCI reading of this current economic cycle, according to FTR. FTR explained that even though overall conditions remain "unfavorable from the standpoint of the shipper," things are not as bad as they were earlier in the year.
But it cautioned that the road to improvement will not be smooth, because once the rate of economic growth kicks in throughout the rest of the year, the SCI is likely to decline, due to strained freight capacity caused by higher demand.
"We are definitely in a soft spot in the economy," said FTR Senior Consultant Larry Gross in a recent interview. "Recoveries never happen in a straight line. There are always going to be ups and downs and that is what is happening now. And there are also outside events like the Japanese Tsunami and earthquake, Libya and oil prices, and government spending that also has an impact, too."
From a shipper's standpoint, Gross stressed it would be unwise to plan against tight capacity and increased rates in coming months, as the SCI rebound is likely to be a very short-term affair.
Gross added that once the economy resumes a positive growth path it is likely that the SCI will again result in slower growth, due to trucking regulations taking hold and rates increasing through next year as fuel, equipment, and labor costs rise faster than the general rate of inflation.

OLYMPIA — A bipartisan bill to stiffen Washington state's DUI penalties cleared its first legislative hurdle Tuesday, while a safety board in the other Washington sought to kick off a national conversation about changing the very definition of drunken driving.
State officials, focused on their own bill, said they will wait until at least next year to consider the National Transportation Safety Board's recommendation that states cut the blood-alcohol threshold to 0.05 percent from 0.08 percent.
"I would not rule out that discussion at some later date, but right now we have to get this job done," said Gov. Jay Inslee, who has championed the state proposal crafted in the aftermath of recent fatal crashes that authorities have tied to alcohol.
The Senate Law & Justice Committee approved its version of the proposal in the morning, sending the bill to the chamber's budget panel to deal with fiscal issues that have proved more difficult than the policy itself.

Among other provisions, Senate Bill 5912 would add 10 days in jail to all minimum sentences for DUI (driving under the influence), make drunken driving a felony on the fourth conviction (it currently is on the fifth) and require ignition-interlock devices be installed before repeat DUI offenders are released from jail after an arrest.
The interlock devices, which prevent a car from starting if the driver is drunk, already are required for all those convicted of a DUI. But critics say the state does not do enough to enforce the installation of the devices.
The bill also would prohibit deferred sentencing in drunken-driving cases, expand DUI courts and pilot a 24/7 alcohol-monitoring program as an alternative to prison.
The House Public Safety Committee plans to vote on a similar proposal as soon as next week, said Chairman Roger Goodman, D-Kirkland.
Those items all were agreed upon in recent negotiations between Inslee and a bipartisan group of lawmakers. But the funding question remains a key sticking point.
On Tuesday, the unanimous Senate Law & Justice Committee vote belied concerns from both sides of the aisle.
Democrats said the proposal doesn't devote enough money to treatment programs or give local governments enough to implement the new provisions.
"I agree, [chronic drunken drivers] should be behind bars. But they also should have treatment because at some point they're going to get out," said state Sen. Jeanne Kohl-Welles, D-Seattle. "And we have to be cognizant of the needs of our local jurisdictions. They can't do all of this for free. It's impossible."
Republican Sen. Pam Roach, on the other hand, said the proposal isn't tough enough.
"It takes, what, four convictions to actually have a felony for going out on the road and potentially killing and maiming? This is not where we should be in this state," said Roach, of Auburn.
"We have more to do," added Roach, who proposed lowering the blood-alcohol threshold to 0.01 percent.
The National Transportation Safety Board's recommendation of 0.05 percent was among nearly 20 suggestions made Tuesday, including that states adopt measures to ensure more widespread use of interlock devices.
But the blood-alcohol level got the most attention.
The new limit would equal about one drink per hour for a woman weighing less than 120 pounds and two per hour for a 160-pound man.
Several state law-enforcement officials expressed support for the recommendation.
Lt. Rob Sharpe, who is in charge of the Washington State Patrol's impaired-driving section, said each time the state's breath-alcohol limit has been lowered, "there's been a dramatic decrease in the number of DUI fatalities."
Seattle City Attorney Pete Holmes said it's a good idea to reduce the legal standard for drunken driving, but he pointed out police can arrest drivers for that crime even when they are below 0.08.
"I don't think it would vastly change our workload, as we charged the DUIs that are under .08 if there is evidence of impairment," Holmes said in a statement. "Changing the law would make it easier to get convictions on those cases and would more accurately reflect the reality of when people are impaired."
Between Jan. 1, 2012, and May 1, 2013, the Washington State Patrol says law-enforcement agencies in the state made 2,719 arrests in cases where the breath tests recorded levels between 0.05 and 0.079 percent. The Patrol reported about 28,000 arrests in cases where tests recorded levels of 0.08 or higher.
Dan Donohoe, a spokesman for King County Prosecutor Dan Satterberg, said the recommendation deserves a lot more review.
"Right now, our focus should be on the chronic, repeat DUI offenders and that is where we can best focus our limited resources," Donohoe said.
Staff reporter Andrew Garber contributed to this report, which includes material from The Associated Press.

The Goodguys PPG Nationals In Columbus, Ohio - Better Than EverWritten by Johnny Hunkins on February 1, 2009 Contributors: Robert McGaffin With Runnin' And Gunnin' Added To The Showin' And Shinin', The Goodguys PPG Nationals In Columbus, Ohio, Has Raised The Bar For Their Premier Event Of The Year.
For many hot rodders, the pinnacle of the event season is the Goodguys PPG Nationals, held the second weekend in July at the Ohio state fairgrounds in Columbus, Ohio. It's a huge gathering, with thousands of cars sprawled across the hundred-acre venue. Veteran attendees know better than to go for just one day-this show needs all three days to get the maximum benefit.
The Goodguys gathering in Columbus is huge for a reason-if you stick a pin in a map at Columbus and draw a 500-mile radius around it, you'll find 75 percent of the country's hot rods inside that small circle. Columbus is hot rod central, and few places outside the Ohio state fairgrounds are large enough to host the event at the level Goodguys members are accustomed to.
For 2008, the Goodguys Rod & custom Association experienced an epiphany of sorts. For some time, the number of muscle cars at their events had been on the rise, and the acceptance of them among the more staunch street rodders has finally been realized. The turning point came as participants, along with key vendors involved with handling and suspension components, realized their dream of holding a live-action autocross. Called the Street Challenge Autocross, this event has turned out to be a crowd favorite, with hundreds of spectators (and show-car converts) turning out for the action.
The Columbus event has always been home to the Street Machine Of The Year event, in which the top builders battle it out for honors in a build style we've come to know as Pro Touring, or g-Machine. The build style is characterized by max-effort suspensions, grippy tires, big brakes, and flexible powertrains. As Pro Touring cars become more exotic and packed full of the newest technology, many in the hobby wondered if there was a commensurate level of real performance to go along with all that style. When handing out the SMOY award in years past, there was always that nagging question: These cars can talk the talk, but can they really walk the walk?
Already a rousing success, the Street Challenge autocross would be the perfect crucible in which to test the mettle of the SMOY competitors at this year's PPG Nationals. So it came to pass that a bevy of high-end muscle cars-some deep into the six-figure price range-hit the timed autocross in mind-bending fury. With that said, at this point in time, the actual lap times don't affect the ranking or judging, they merely proudly reinforce, or embarrassingly disprove a car's status as a bona fide performer. Perhaps at some later date, the autocross lap times will be the basis of ranking, or perhaps a maximum lap e.t. could be established for SMOY entrants. Either way, we can't complain. It's the right move for this stand-out class of cars.
At the end of the day, Erv Woller of North Lake, Wisconsin, won the Street Machine Of The Year contest with his '69 Camaro, but to say that the PPG Nationals is just a playground for high-end muscle machines would be false. We enjoy coming to Columbus every year because of the tremendous variety of cars, from high end, to Joe six-pack. Man can't live on a diet of '69 Camaros alone, and the Columbus crowd gave us a great selection of makes and models to salivate over. We've tried to show here the range of machines at Columbus this past July, and hope you'll make the effort to join us next year when we visit again!
Pardon Me, Sir ...
... but do you have any Grey Poupon? You'll have to forgive Tod Weston if his '70 Rolls Royce Silver Shadow is a bit cartoonish, but it really does represent the best of both worlds. "I had the Rolls Royce, and I always loved Hemis as a kid," says Tod, "so I thought, why not put two great things together?" Yes indeed, why not? Tod is a real estate lawyer from Fort Lauderdale, FL, so what better way to break the ice with clients at the golf course than with a Rolls powered by a 472ci Ray Barton-built Hemi? Tod credits Little Joe's Hot Rods in Denver, NC, for putting his highbrow Hemi together.
Street Machine Of The Year
The country's top award for a performance-based Street Machine was presented to North Lake, Wisconsin's Erv Woller. Woller's '69 Camaro. Known as "RAZOR," it was built by the Ring brothers of Spring Green, Wisconsin-the same team that produced last year's Street Machine of the Year winner. That's the first time in the 14-year history of the award the winning car was produced by the same build team in consecutive seasons.
Featuring a two-tone gray and orange design, "Hunter" leather interior, carbon fiber hood and decklid, a Detroit Speed & Engineering Quadralink suspension, and one-off custom Budnik wheels, Woller's Camaro exudes class and ingenuity. Both Mike and Jim Ring, known for their ability to design and fabricate parts from carbon fiber as well as their finesse in body and paint applications, completely repainted RAZOR during a 96-hour period over the Fourth of July holiday weekend. The car debuted June 27 at a Goodguys event in Nashville, and when the car hit the sunlight, they saw some flaws they knew would not serve the car well in Columbus at the Street Machine Of The Year judging. "It was a painful decision," says Jim Ring. "Mike and I were at each other's throats and our wives may never talk to us again. It had to be done. You build a car like this for this event and this award. It means everything."
Woller expressed his gratitude for all the hard work of the build team. "When you embark on a project like this, you become family with everyone involved in the car. It's a project that takes a lot of resources and countless hours. I couldn't be prouder."
Part of this year's award criteria mandated that all eligible vehicles take part in a demanding three-lap autocross. Woller strapped himself into RAZOR and cranked out three very impressive lap times with a best of 18.466 for the 1,000-foot course. In the end, RAZOR defeated the largest field of contenders ever (28 cars) for the Street Machine Of The Year crown. The top five finalists for this year's award included Kevin Alstott ('68 Camaro), Gary Abraham ('70 Nova), Woller's RAZOR, Jeff Hanson ('69 Camaro), and James McLeod ('69 Camaro Convertible).

Deal Of The Decade!
You can browse through swap meets and car corrals all summer long and never come across a deal like this. In fact, Mark Fannin's '71 Chevelle is the mythical dream deal you always hear about and search for, but almost never find. Here's what we mean: Mark wants $25K for his '71, which runs 10.80s with pump gas on pure motor. It's a super clean, straight, rust-free street car with new Lexus paint, a perfect interior, and a rollbar. Under the hood is a 489ci big-block with an Eagle stroker kit, Dart Pro 1 heads, Victor Jr. intake, 830 Holley, and a mild roller cam. Running gear includes a built Turbo 400 with a TCI 3,800-stall converter, a 12-bolt rear with 4.10 gears, and Mickey Thompson drag radials. We're not usually into pimpin' other folks cars for sale, but c'mon, people, some reader needs to step in and grab this up. Give Mark a call if you're interested (937-320-0801). This thing spanks our '68 Chevelle (Project Street Sweeper) for about half the price.

Bobby Alloway of Alloway's Hot Rod Shop built this sweet small-block-powered '68 Camaro for a customer. We don't know much about it, but it sure was hustling through the Street Challenge Autocross. We're chasing it for a feature, and hope to have it for you later this year.We stopped by the Toyo Tire booth in the manufacturers' midway and talked with Toyo spokesmodel Bianca Smith (26). We asked Bianca to pose with the Proxes S/T tire (size 275/40R20) on Gene Gerber's '29 Ford (Springfield, IL). Bianca has modeled for Import Tuner, Super Street Bike, and Modified magazine, so she was well prepared for our camera!The '64-72 GM A-bodies get all the glory these days, but the earlier ones are actually much smaller, and had quite a few innovations that never survived. Much like today, there was a gas crunch, and manufacturers rushed to produce lightweight, thrifty cars with style. Take, for, instance the Olds Starfire with its all-aluminum turbo V-8, or the Pontiac Tempest with its rope driveshaft, rear transaxle, and independent rear suspension. This '62 Buick Skylark is owned by Terry Stinehelfer of Bucyrus, OH. It's got a 215ci aluminum V-8, stroked to 266 ci. Terry built it as a "phantom GSX"-his interpretation of what a '62 GSX would look like.Carb manufacturer Barry Grant (left) gives one-on-one carb advice to one of his customers-Ken Guge of Kokomo, IN. Ken has a Road Demon in his '28 Ford and was pleased to get the lowdown from the man who built his carb. Note the Badman inline four-barrel carb in the foreground; we'll be dyno testing one of the first production units in a few months.
Columbus and the PPG Nationals is the place where the Goodguys Giveaway car-a '70 Chevelle built by Precision Coachworks and Air Ride Technologies-was awarded to one lucky winner. But before that happened, it was time for one last flog through the autocross course. Hmm, who should drive? How about veteran racecar driver and LeMans winner, Scott Pruett?This absolutely gorgeous street rod is a breathtaking interpretation of a '27 Ford roadster. It's owned by Michael Chetcuti of Livonia, MI, and has a 392ci late-model Hemi backed by a 727 Torqueflite trans. Workmanship on the '27 was absolutely stunning.Equally stunning is the '70 Nova known as "Notorious." Owned by Gary Abraham and built by Rad Rides By Troy, Notorious is one of the baddest alternative fuel muscle machines we've ever seen; a 572ci big-block is inflated by a F-2 Procharger, and fed a diet of E85. It makes over 1,000 to the wheels. The suspension is all Detroit Speed & Engineering; a hydroformed front subframe up front and a Quadralink four-link in the rear do a really good job of keeping this beast planted on terra firma. We've been begging Troy to let us shoot this for you-and we think the deal is just about done.Dan The Cable Guy</strong
Forgotten muscle cars are a favorite topic around the office, and one we've always admired is the unsung '67-69 Thunderbird. These cars were sleek, powerful, luxurious, and have a look that's still sexy well into the 21st century. We don't know why these never caught on, but that's fine with 28-year-old Dan Scarbro, a cable service technician from Englewood, Ohio. Dan paid just $800 for his '68 T-bird, which came with a standard 429ci big-block-the first year for the Lima-built big-block. Dan did all the work himself, including the flat-black paintjob-right out of a Rustoleum can! Dan says the pinstripe job was done by Shane Syx.We're suckers for a freak show like this! It's a real '69 Camaro that has been chopped, cut, spliced, shortened, and narrowed in every dimension imaginable. About the size of a go-cart, Manny Powell's '69 is powered by a very much life-sized 6-71-blown 454 big-block. Powell is from Newark, OH.When we saw Steve Davis (Grove City, OH) drive by in his '70 Cougar, we chased him down in our golf cart. He almost got away-his 428 Cobra Jet had a lot more sauce than our Briggs & Stratton, but he ran into traffic. This really clean example is mostly stock with a cam and a C6 trans. Yet another great muscle car that gets little attention!
Sometimes you see a simple car that is just right-not fancy or powerful or tricky-just plain nice. Sam Ramondelli's '68 Nova presented a sweet silhouette, so we shot it. It's a clean four-speed car with a hot little 327. Sam lives right there in Columbus, OH, and has owned it since 1982, so don't try to talk him out of it-we tried, and failed miserably.

A small amount of early production Fender Mustang I and Mustang II (V.1) amplifiers were manufactured with a slightly different front panel than the later units. These units had red lettering on the front panel as well as having the amp models arranged in a different order. Because of this, once the firmware has been updated using Fender FUSE, the front panel will no longer match what is displayed in Fender FUSE.
The serial model ranges affected are:
Mustang I: CGPC10006505 to CGPC10006759 except #'s 6628,6621,6756,6603,6757
Mustang II: CGPC10006760 to CGPC10007014 except #'s 7009,7010,7011,7012,7013
As a solution to this problem we have created a custom restore file for those early amps. If you have one of the aforementioned models, please follow these instructions to ensure your amp and Fender FUSE are displaying the proper Preset information.

Supreme Court | President Obama says the high court is 'activist' if it doesn't uphold his healthcare law
WASHINGTON-President Obama gave an unprecedented ultimatum on a pending U.S. Supreme Court case Monday, saying that if the justices overturned his healthcare law it would be "unprecedented" and amount to "judicial activism." He said he expected the justices to uphold the law.
Other presidents have criticized the effect of Supreme Court decisions before: Ronald Reagan criticized Roe v. Wade and Franklin D. Roosevelt criticized a decision that threw out a bevy of his New Deal legislation. But no president appears to have publicly characterized the court as political activists before, especially not before a decision has been rendered.
Since the arguments last week hinted at the possibility that the high court would overturn the law, Democrats have been preemptively characterizing the justices as partisan judicial activists.
"Should the Supreme Court overturn this law, it would be so far out of the mainstream that the court would be the most activist in a century," said Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., who is part of the Senate Democratic leadership, on Meet the Press Sunday.
Former President Bill Clinton said in an interview with MSNBC on Monday that the actual arguments were "unusually politicized." He offered his analysis of the law: "I don't think it was unconstitutional in any way, shape, or form. Even in the 1790s there were mandates. … It's hard to take the constitutional argument seriously. So I think it's more about politics."
Some Republicans shot back. Sen. Orrin Hatch of Utah, former chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee, stated Monday, "It must be nice living in a fantasy world where every law you like is constitutional and every Supreme Court decision you don't is activist."
The Washington Post editorial board, generally considered liberal, also pushed back against liberals' characterization of the court last week (see "Civics lessons from the Supreme Court"): "Sadly, even before the sessions on healthcare reform had ended, some liberals were preemptively trying to delegitimize a potential defeat at the court. … [T]here's a kind of cynicism, or at least intellectual laziness, in asserting that this is an easy or obvious call-that no justice could possibly strike down the mandate out of honest, reasoned conviction. Solicitor General Donald B. Verrilli Jr. had his hands full defending the mandate, not because he's a bad lawyer, but because it's not an easy question." The editorial board said the court should uphold the law, adding, "But it is not, as we said, a slam dunk. We wouldn't assume anyone who disagrees is a hack."
Obama has attacked the court publicly before. In his 2010 State of the Union address, with the justices sitting right in front of him, he eviscerated their Citizens United decision, saying it "reversed a century of law to open the floodgates of special interests-including foreign corporations-to spend without limit in our elections." Justice Samuel Alito shook his head slightly and mouthed, "Not true," at the foreign corporations comment, because the court's decision upheld prohibitions on foreign spending in elections. The congressional Democrats seated around the justices stood and applauded. Alito, along with several other justices, didn't attend the address the following year.
A reporter asked Obama about the case in the White House Rose Garden Monday, as the president was holding a press conference with Mexican President Felipe Calderon and Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper. Obama gave a defense of the law, saying, "It's constitutional-that's not just my opinion." He also said the individual mandate paid for other aspects of the law, making it essential-a line that went against the government lawyer's own arguments in the Supreme Court that the mandate was not essential to the law.
Obama's full comment on the Supreme Court was: "Ultimately, I'm confident that the Supreme Court will not take what would be an unprecedented, extraordinary step of overturning a law that was passed by a strong majority of a democratically elected Congress. And I'd just remind conservative commentators that for years what we've heard is, the biggest problem on the bench was judicial activism or a lack of judicial restraint-that an unelected group of people would somehow overturn a duly constituted and passed law. Well, this is a good example. And I'm pretty confident that this court will recognize that and not take that step."
The court will likely issue its opinion in late June.

HOUSTON -- Leon Gibson scored 20 points and TaShawn Thomas added 11 points to go with his 20 rebounds as Houston beat Florida A&M 81-76 on Friday in the season opener for both teams.
The Cougars were clinging to a 77-76 lead with under a minute to go when Gibson grabbed an offensive rebound and dunked to put Houston up by three with 49 seconds left.
Florida A&M's Jamie Adams missed a 3-pointer, Thomas added one of his five blocks and J.J. Thompson sank two free throws after a steal to seal the win. Jherrod Stiggers added 19 points for the Cougars and Gibson also had 10 rebounds.

Hi all,
I might have posted one or two of these already but figured I'd gather them into one thread. These were commissions for an upcoming adventure by Dreamscarred Press. They're pretty basic and were done fairly quickly...though it actually took me a long time to find some time to complete them!
I haven't actually read the adventure so can't tell you much about it. I know that it involves some cultists worshipping the "fanged god". The god is represented as a crude painting on a stone slab in the Hideout and the Warehouse. The "god" itself is in the center of the building called Maw. Can't say I know much else.
The little bits in Q1 and Q7 of the Maw map are coins, offerings I guess. Q3 is full of body parts...ick.
The thing in A2 of the Warehouse is some sort of experiment the cultists are running. BTW, bit of advice: don't ever search Google Images for "bloated corpse".
The Villa has been destroyed (obviously) and is occupied by some giant thingie that has a table made from a piece of the second floor in H4 and a bed made from mattresses and ripped bedding in H3. I can't really say what's up with the sunflowers in the pots...except that I did a very poor job with them. :0
Hope you like.

Story & Reporting by Diane Roberts, 9 Sports
WASHINGTON (WUSA) -- Seeing and being seen, it's important for making good business connections, but it goes for the world of sports too. Wednesday, D.C.'s Title IX Conference and Classic begins -- the goal: get local girls in front of some national eyes.
You may know of a woman playing college or professional sports right now who probably has Title IX to thank. It is the federal civil rights law that breaks down barriers in sports for women and girls.
The National Title IX Holiday Invitational Conference and Classic (NTHICC) is a mouthful to say, but it provides even more. Empowering young girls around the D.C. area through seminars, mentoring and a little celebrity fun are just one part of what they do, sports is the other.
The basketball part of the conference tips off on Thursday. Sixteen schools will be in D.C., ten from the District, Maryland and Virginia, but most importantly there will be a lot of college scouts watching the games.
"Having one here gives those girls the avenue to be seen on a national stage ... there's big media covering this," said Saladin Reese, head coach of the Coolidge Lady Colts. "It makes them feel like they don't always have to travel somewhere else to get top notch treatment."
Reese has been coaching girls' basketball for 17 years and says an event like the Title IX Classic puts girls on an even playing field ... or court ... with the boys.
"Most people say, 'Okay, most scholarships go to girls who are six-feet and up,' but if you watch college basketball you're gonna see some five-footers out there so they have to be seen somewhere ... Why not here? Why not the District? Why not in our back yard?" said Reese.
Lady Colts shooting guard Cydney Green says she'll be a little nervous at the classic.
"Playing in front of these college scouts will mean I'll get a chance to get recognized ... hopefully somebody will offer me so I can go to school," said Green.
Essence Brown is a junior at Coolidge. The point guard has a 4.0 grade point average and is on the honor roll. She's had some interest from a few colleges, but this will be a bigger stage where coaches or scouts from Division I teams will be in attendance.
"They're just gonna see Essence, they're gonna see me go to work, like I always do and hopefully [it] transfers into another letter in my mailbox ... another opportunity for me to go to college," said Brown.
The idea of the classic is for girls like Essence and Cydney to get seen by college coaches, learn to believe in themselves and play with purpose.
The basketball portion of the event will be held December 27-29 at Trinity University Center for Women and Girls in Sports and the conference portion will begin Wednesday, December 26 at the Hyatt Regencey Capitol Hill.

Lexington Co. (WLTX) - A driver is dead after a collision on I-26.
Monday at 1:25 p.m., Cpl. Bob Beres with the South Carolina Highway Patrol said there was a two-car accident on I-26 eastbound at mile marker 110.
Beres said a 2004 Toyota Camry was traveling east in the center lane when Jacquelyn Burton, 83, lost control. The vehicle spun and was struck on the driver's side by a 2001 Buick Le Sabre who was also traveling east.
Burton was transported to Lexington Medical Center where she later died. She was wearing a seat belt. Burton's passenger was also wearing a seat belt and was transported to Palmetto Health Richland.
The driver of the Le Sabre was also wearing a seat belt and had two passengers. Only one passenger was wearing a seat belt. Both of them were taken to Palmetto Health Richland as well.
Beres said the SCHP is investigating the crash.

Ken and Jinx Spangler planned to be enjoying their golden years right now.
Instead, the Rifle couple resumed operating the family's longtime salvage yard, Spangler's Auto Salvage, on U.S. Highway 6, east of Rifle, in December. They had sold the business to Terry Walton and Miranda Watson, a father-daughter from Carbondale, in April 2007, after operating the salvage yard for 30 years.
They sold it for personal health reasons, Jinx Spangler said, but when Walton and Watson didn't keep up with their payments to the Spanglers, they repossessed the business at the end of last year.
What they got back, though, was not anything close to what they sold, the couple said.
"Their idea of a salvage yard is different than the one we have," Jinx Spangler said while sitting behind the counter at the business on Monday.
Walton and Watson - who changed the name of the business to CARS, Creative Auto Recyclers and Salvage - "crushed everything" and shipped it to Denver, while metal prices were high, Jinx Spangler said.
"When we left them the business, metal was close to $200 a ton, then it went up to $360 a ton," Jinx Spangler said. "Now it's come back down again."
"We couldn't believe it when we saw what they had done," she added. "They had crushed so many old cars and trucks, appliances, there wasn't anything left."
While Spangler's still has rows of old automobiles and piles of appliances and equipment, the inventory is much lower than in years past, Ken Spangler said.
The Spanglers hope to build inventory back up, perhaps not quite as large, Ken Spangler said. But it will take years.
"We think a community needs a salvage yard," Jinx Spangler said. "People come to us for parts and such and that's important."
The couple's only help are their son, Ryan, and grandson, Glenn.
"It's been great having them help, because I'm not able to get around like I did when I was 40," Ken Spangler said while watching the two younger men work in the yard. "I thought we'd be doing the retirement things by now, traveling and enjoying what we worked so hard for for 30 years. But we're back here."
The previous owners also did not maintain the heavy equipment in the yard, Ken Spangler said, such as the bailer, which they didn't get working again until last Sunday. The machine crushes metal into squares so they can be more easily loaded onto semis for transport to recycling facilities, Ken Spangler said.
"We made two mistakes," he added. "We sold the business and we financed it with the wrong people. But I don't want to say anything bad about them. They just had a completely different idea of what a salvage yard should be."
Since the couple resumed operating the salvage yard, the response has been very positive, Ken Spangler added.
"Lots of people have said they're glad we're back," he said.
After having the same phone number for 30 years, the Spanglers could not get that number back when they resumed operations. They've been advertising that fact and remain optimistic they can get their business back on its feet.
"We just want to get a salvage yard, a real salvage yard, going again," said Jinx Spangler.

Looking for some advice on requesting to return to work part-time after my second child is due this spring. Does anyone have any experience either requesting this or from a HR perspective?
My plan is to put together a written proposal to return to work 4 days a week after my maternity leave. I would ideally like Fridays off as Friday is by far the slowest day in the office, but I am flexible. I am also completely willing to be available by phone and email on my day off. I am open to a reduction in salary, but I am not sure if this is something I should bring up in the proposal or if I should wait until it is presented to me. My title is manager but I do not have any direct reports and am in more of an independent role that I feel a part-time schedule will work for.
I would like to settle this before I go out on maternity leave so I can appropriately arrange child care. Any suggestions on timing? Should this be done a month before I go out? Two months?
Any advice is much appreciated.

Hey Hardstalk, I have to go to Vegas next week to the Word of Concrete. Is there anything fun I can do in Vegas in between classes?
Hey Hardstalk, I have to go to Vegas next week to the Word of Concrete. Is there anything fun I can do in Vegas in between classes?
Depends on your definition of fun I suppose...
Family man that doesn't like crowds stuff to do.
There is a Bass pro in vegas, that should keep ya from getting bored for a few hours!
Will you have wheels? Theres bass pro, sportsmans warehouse, there is a place called fast lap thats a blast if you have a couple guys coming with ya. Its pretty close to the convention center. Its a shifter cart indoor track they zoom! Travis pastrana and a lot of high addreneline kind of guys go there quite often and race the piss out of em.
Im attempting to make chicken fried antelope steak and garlic mashed potatoes tonight. Since I have never made either it should be great or the dogs will be happy (hopefully) and we will have canned soup. LOL

Yesterday it appeared that my custom site columns suddenly disappeared form the site column gallery.
The columns still exist in the libraries and lists.
How to recover/find these disappered custom site columns and restore them?
Anyone experienced this yet?
Thanks for the feedback.
You can try the following steps:
1. Go to Team Site>Site Actions>Site Settings. Click Site Columns under Galleries
2. In the Show Group box, make sure All Groups is selected.
If it doesn't work, please open SharePoint Designer and check whether the custom columns are shown or not.
Hi Maylan, I have checked both, but they are completely missing!
Hello Smarty,
According to the description you provided, this issue may be caused by a unconscious delete action in gallery, and there is no appreciate approach to recover it now.
However, deleting the column in gallery won't have an effect on libraries and lists which have added the custom column. You may try to re-create it in gallery again.
Grace Shi
Hi Grace, I don't think that is the case because ALL of my 30 custom columns have disappered. I cannot think of any unconcious action that could have been.
If it is I would be more than willing to learn what you have in mind of an unconcious action.
In my idea you can only remove one column at the time and only via the delete option for that specific column. But all of them are missing
Hi Smarty,
Based on the information you provided, there might be different causes for this issue. I noticed that we might need to check the specific configuration on your side during the continue troubleshooting. You may need to provide other personal information about the issue in the future. As a result, we would need to continue the troubleshooting directly to avoid publishing some personal information, such as the customer's Service Request number and domain information.
Your post was responded in a private message with a subject of "Submit a service request". Please check it on the community side.
You can reply by using the form in that private message.
I am interested in this issue. Would you mind letting me know is the problem resolved?
If you need additional assistance, feel free to let me know. I will be more than happy to be of assistance.
Have a great day!
Currently it has become an issue that I did not manage tor reproduce, but it happened for the second time as I experienced later.
Today Microsoft is picking this up with us.
Will keep you posted.
How are the things going? Do you have any other questions?
Only items (list items, library items, etc.) go to the recycle bin, columns don't
Help, I managed to experience the same in SharePoint 2010 on premise. Overnight all the site columns are gone, including the standard site columns.
Is there anyone that can help?
Is it possible that the status of the site columns changed into read only in both cases? If so, how can that be set to the standard edit situation?
Exactly the same thing has happened me!
ALL site columns have disappeared from the gallery!
(They still exist at list-level).
Was a solution ever found to this?
Hello there is still no solution ye,t I would advise you to create an issue explaining the case and if you have an idea what and when it was happining it would be very helpfull. You could refer to the issues I have sent earlier to connect with them . These where the issue nrs.SRX1160518469ID (1809-2011) and SRX1169062707ID from 9/1/2012. Can You update me in this platform?

Filner's woman problem: Did he cross line?
Mayor's long history on women's rights -- and wrongs
Last Sunday Bob Filner was still San Diego's strong mayor, fending off accusations of fiscal illegalities with pugnacious bravado and earning good feedback on some of his first mayoral accomplishments.
Today his fiancée has left him, the allies that ushered him into local office have turned on him and he is known around the world for his three word apology: "I need help."
It turns out that Filner, champion of civil rights and defender of veterans, immigrants, laborers and minorities, has a woman problem. The allegations of sexual harassment remain troublingly vague and no victim has publicly stepped forward, but those with knowledge of Filner's alleged behavior said it is cause for him to resign.
Despite a din at City Hall, where his chief of staff quit via Twitter and Facebook at the close of business Friday, this apology may not lead to a resignation.
Filner sent a defiant email exactly 97 minutes after his top aide left. "I am confident that a fair and independent investigation will support my innocence with respect to any charges of sexual harassment," it said.
That wouldn't be the only investigation Filner is facing. The FBI began asking questions this month about a $100,000 donation to the city — since returned — from a developer seeking Filner's approval for a project.
It was last week's whirlwind, though, that sent supporters scrambling. Many of San Diego's most influential female political figures and civic leaders helped elect Filner mayor in November. Now some say they have known about his inappropriate behavior for years, leaving open questions that include "Who knew what when?" and "What could such a staunch supporter of women do that would alienate so many of his own supporters?"
Demeaning women or defending them?
David Wexler, clinical psychologist and author of "When Good Men Behave Badly," said the same qualities that can lead to public success — ambition, doggedness, little fear of confrontation — can cause private problems. "It's very much two sides of the same coin," Wexler said.
It's not unusual for people in positions of power to exhibit such a dichotomy. "There's plenty of people for whose politics and values may state one thing, and they actually believe that, but … in their actual private life they operate quite differently," he said. Unlike people with few resources or influence, people with power have both temptations and opportunities. He cited Bill Clinton and early civil rights leaders who helped women politically but otherwise treated them poorly.
Filner has a long history of fighting for women — a history that spans two divorces, one broken engagement and years of rumors how he treated the women he worked with.
Until recently, Filner had been engaged to a woman 22 years his younger. In May, Filner played Michael Bublé's "Everything" for fiancee Bronwyn Ingram while guest hosting a San Diego radio show and said they had adopted it as their song because Bublé "says it for us." That was then.
Now? An astounding week in San Diego history included Monday's news that Ingram had called off the engagement; Wednesday's calls for Filner to resign from former councilwoman and onetime Filner mayoral staffer Donna Frye and two attorneys; echoes the next day from three councilmembers, and Friday's chorus for Filner to quit from Gonzalez and Assembly Majority Leader Toni Atkins, Council President Todd Gloria and Councilman David Alvarez.
Filner's attitude toward women was only whispered about on the 2012 campaign trail until it became the talk of it days before his election.
District Attorney Bonnie Dumanis, whose own bid to be mayor fell short, called the longtime congressman "disruptive, disrespectful and demeaning, especially to women" while endorsing his foe a week before the election.

1 ) I'm assuming you've already figured out your coastline.
2 ) I set things up to do the elevation one continent at a time, since it was easier that way. Make a layer from one continent: the land fully opaque and the sea fully transparent. Make it white if black is your max elevation color, or black if white is your max elevation color. You may want to do this in a separate document, if your map high res enough to be slow. Most of the layer's you'll make will be flattened when you are done.
3) On another layer sketch in where you want your mountains, continental divides, or whatever you have as a guide. The brown in my example is where i want my mountains.
4 ) Open some elevation maps like these. You just want greyscale without any shadows. For something more exotic use elevation maps of the moon, mars or other celestial bodies.
5 ) Look for parts on the real elevation map that more or less match what you want on your map. If your continent is large or complex you will need to look for one piece at a time. The Rocky mountains here gradually sloping down across the great plains is basically what i want for my continents, since this one is pretty simple (as examples should be). Select what you want with the lasso, feather your selection and then copy and paste it in as a new layer. I'm using white as down, so i need to invert this bit of the rockies.
6 ) Move your cut-out piece of elevation over your shoreline layer from step 2. Then "Create a Clipping Mask" with the cut out bit of elevation. In Photoshop you can do that by OPTION clicking between the two layers, or from the contextual menu. If you do it right, it will look the following. The clipping mask will only show the part of your elevation layer that is over an opaque part of the coastline layer, thus anything over the ocean isn't shown.
7 ) Resize, Flip, Rotate etc. the elevation layer until it goes where you want it to. It won't be a perfect fit, but we'll refine that later. Turn on your guide layer when you need to remember your original idea, turn it off, when it gets in your way.
8 ) Chances are the bit of elevation you copied doesn't have everything you want. That's fine. Go grab another piece of elevation as per step 5. Paste it into your document and position it above the previous bit of elevation-- don't worry if it overlaps. You'll want to "create a clipping mask again" with this one and any additional layers to your base coastline. All should be clipped to your base coastline layer.
9 ) OK, now the tricky part is getting these disparate bits of elevation to line up, right? Don't worry, it's not tricky my way. If down is white, you'll set the blending mode of all your elevation layers to "Multiply". If down is black use the "Screen" blending mode. What this does is add both elevations together, assuming that some of the layers of copied elevation overlap-- which they should. The only hard edges you see should be at your coastline. If you are more familiar with your app, you can probably think of variations on this method to achieve different effects, but i won't go in to that.
10 ) I find it hard to gauge what going on just staring at greyscale elevation. So i made a gradient map with a series of colors like you'll find on a topographical map. This gradient map layer sits above all the other layers. While you are painting with black or white on one of the elevation layers, the gradient map instantly converts the appearance to nice topographical color.
11 ) Now it's time to refine the elevation. You can paint with fuzzy, semi-transparent white and black brushes on any of the elevation layers to emphasize or de-emphasize any feature. For wide-spread, gentle changes, use a radial gradient tool, set to low opacity.
12 ) When you are happy with the appearance, merge all your layers together (but not the gradient map layer, or your guide layer) and your are done.

Thursday News, May 3rd
Pickup Truck and Trailer Submerged in Big Sioux
(Le Mars) -- The Plymouth County Sheriff's Office along with the Rescue and Recovery Diving Team had to do a little unusual fishing on Wednesday afternoon at the Big Sioux River. At about 2:30 p.m. deputies responded to a call to the area of 180th Street and the Big Sioux River. When they arrived, they saw a 2001 Ford F150 pickup truck and a trailer were submerged in the river. Thomas Vermulm from Hawarden is the owner of the pickup truck and trailer. It is believed that the vehicle and trailer had been backed in to remove the boat from the river when apparently Vermulm had left the vehicle in gear when he exited the vehicle. The pickup truck and trailer then rolled into the river. There were no injuries and no vehicle fluids were released into the river. Northside Towing from Hawarden was called to assist with the retrival of the vehicle from the river.
Roll-over Accident On Highway 75
(Le Mars) -- A roll-over auto accident that happened at 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday on Highway 75 is being investigated by the Plymouth County Sheriff's office. 17 year old Trenton Cother of North Sioux City, South Dakota was driving his car when he became distracted by the actions of his passengers riding in the car. The vehicle swerved across both lanes of southbound traffic, entered the east ditch, then struck a bridge guardrail, entered back up on the highway and rolled three times. Injured in the mishap were 17 year old Lois Bauler also of North Sioux City and 19 year old Christopher Janes of Le Mars. Both victims were transported to St. Lukes Medical Center in Sioux City.
Governor & Lt. Governor Hit Deer
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - Officials say Gov. Terry Branstad and Lt. Gov. Kim Reynolds are OK after their SUV hit a deer on Interstate 35 in central Iowa.
Branstad spokesman Tim Albrecht says Branstad, Reynolds and longtime aide Margaret Hough (huff) were returning to Des Moines from an event in Eldora Wednesday afternoon when the accident happened north of Story City.
Albrecht says two deer ran in front of the Iowa State Patrol vehicle, and the driver, Sgt. Dan O'Connell, hit the brakes. A third deer then hit the driver's side corner.
Albrecht says the SUV, a Chevy Tahoe, was damaged, and the driver's door can't be open.
Albrecht says everyone was "startled," but they're OK. He says the deer died.
Patrol spokesman Sgt. Scott Bright estimates damage to the SUV at $8,000.
Legislators Agree On Education Spending Bill
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - Legislative leaders say an agreement has been reached on education spending and a bill could be ready for debate as early as Monday.
Most state lawmakers took the day off Wednesday as conference committees continue to work in closed-door meetings on the major state budget bills.
The education bill is one of the largest portions of the state budget, spending more than $850 million.
Another is the $1.6 billion Health and Human Services budget. Those conference committee members also are meeting. Sen. Jack Hatch says the group plans to return Thursday.
House Speaker Kraig Paulsen says once agreement is reached on those two areas of spending the remaining budget pieces should fall into place quickly.
Other budget areas assigned to committees include administration and regulation, justice, and economic development.
Warning Light Forces US Airline Flight To Return to Des Moines
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - A U.S. Airways flight has safely returned to the Des Moines International Airport after a warning light indicated a wheel problem.
Airport officials told The Des Moines Register that Flight 2747 left Des Moines for Phoenix Wednesday afternoon but returned after its nose steering indicator light came on.
Airport spokesman Kenneth McCoy says the plane circled the airport for about 30 minutes to burn off some fuel before it was able to land.
McCoy says the flight, which had 54 people on board, including the crew, landed safely and taxied to the gate without issue.
Officials think the problem may have been with the warning system, not the actual landing gear.

It was a special morning at Wimbledon as Queen Elizabeth made her first appearance at The Championships in 33 years. She was met by the Duke of Kent, who is president of the All England Club, chairman Tim Phillips, vice-chairman Philip Brook and chief executive Ian Ritchie.
She was given a tour of the grounds followed by a luncheon where she met with a number of ballers including Roger Federer, Serena Williams (who managed to keep her curtsy under control), Andy Roddick, Novak Djokovic, Venus Williams, Jelena Jankovic, Laura Robson, Anne Keothavong, Elena Baltacha, Heather Watson, Caroline Wozniacki, Billie Jean King and Martina Navratilova.
Afterward she took to the Royal Box to watch Andy Murray easily dismiss Jarkko Nieminen 6-3, 6-4, 6-2 in the second round. The boys performed the traditional bow to the Royal Box upon entering and leaving Centre Court.
Seriously, what a special tourney this has been already. I can't wait to see what the rest of the fortnight brings us. It's great to be a tennis fan right now!

That bow is just too precious for words. Adorable and awkward at the same time!ReplyDelete
Love the image with the lineup of champions. I wonder what Roger and Serena are chatting about...
- AnonymousJune 24, 2010 at 8:03 AM
who's the guy with the wimby tie in the crowd?ReplyDelete
Wondering about the guy in the crowd too!?ReplyDelete
Looks like Serena was close to splitting her skirt with that curtsey!
- AnonymousJune 24, 2010 at 9:43 AM
The guy in the tie is Tim Henman -- he retired not that long ago. Are you all trying to make me feel old?!? ;)ReplyDelete
BTW, Rich -- great Wimby coverage this year, and you are looking super-HOT in your new profile pic in that right column. Your bf is a lucky guy!
Henman gained a few kilos, I almost didn't recognize him...ReplyDelete
Are Jelena and Venus rocking the same dress?ReplyDelete
Tim looks really good! Wow, he gained some pounds and added some color to his skin. Never thought much of his looks during his playing days but retirement has done him well!ReplyDelete
Tin: you so crazy! thank you.ReplyDelete
Yes, that's Henman looking pretty dapper IMO. He looks better with a little bit more weight.
I'm not sure if they're wearing the same dress or not. Can't tell from the pics.
I was wondering about A-Rod who was a late substitution for Muzz who was up first for the Queen on Centre. That jacket looks like something the wait staff or linespeople would be working.

Just updated the M2 version to M3_381 build to test it out. The OS is FC4 ran the upgrade with no problems. Started testing the build out checking to see if the bugs I discoveried were fixed (they were) then I went to the admin side of things and noticed the MTA service wasn't running.
Now I thought this was odd cause I was sending and recieving emails throughout my test, and after seeing this I tried sending and receiving emails again and it works.
So while my MTA isn't running I am somehow processing email to and from Zimbra.
Anyways I tried to restart it to see if I get any error messages that I can use to fix it. Here is what I got.
As I have stated email still works both ways so I don't know exactly what is going on and I will admit my Linux knowledge and understanding is limited.Code:

For me this isn't a big issue as for some reason its still working for me even if it says its not. If you need more information let me know I will try to provide the info you need.

I am still looking for a mapmaker, and I hope I will find one soon! Here's some info on our Game Design for those who are curious:
M&MX Game Design Overview
Background on the Might and Magic Series
Might and Magic is one of the longest running Role Playing Game series ever. The series was originally created, singlehandedly, by Jon Van Caneghem, who founded the company New World Computing in 1986 with the release of Might and Magic Book One: The Secret of the Inner Sanctum. The series abruptly ended in 2003 with the game Heroes of Might and Magic IV: Winds of War when 3DO (NWC's parent company) filed for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy. Might and Magic was later sold to Ubisoft Entertainment, circa 2006, where they are continuing to develop the franchise alongside Nival Interactive.
Even with the poor receptions of the last two incarnations of the Might and Magic RPG, there is still a large, rabid fan base that continues to play and celebrate the 10+ year old games in the RPG series. As of 2011, Ubisoft continues to release Might and Magic related titles, including King's Bounty: Legions and Might & Magic Heroes VI.
The Might & Magic X Design Team
There is absolutely no indication of Ubisoft developing a Might and Magic X, and five years have already passed, therefore the Might & Magic X (M&MX) Design Team has decided to take the endeavor into our own hands as a completely nonprofit game development project. Upon its completion, M&MX will be released for free, downloadable distribution, solely online, and will be designed primarily to run on the Windows platform in English.
The developers of M&MX have no affiliation whatsoever with New World Computing, 3DO, and Ubisoft Entertainment, and are an independent group of game developers with the sole purpose of gaining experience in the field of game design, while creating a brand new game that will act as a fan made continuation of the famous Might and Magic series.

Our Current Progress
We have completed thousands of graphic assets, including most of the game items, and animated character portraits, which will be used as the Player Characters. There are still many graphical assets to be completed, but this would not be a wise area to work on until we have a new engine that will be able to support all of our graphic assets.
Over 20 pages of storyline and quests have been written out, and we have a pre-Beta version of our land map, which will become the explorable world that Might and Magic X takes place on.
The soundtrack for M&MX is well underway, and we have several talented composers who are taking care of everything for us.
Game Engine
The M&MX Design Team is currently planning a total conversion of our assets to a brand new engine, because our old engine, Horizon, is extremely outdated (late 1990s) and difficult to use, for example, to edit landmass you must go through a very tedious process of hex editing.
We are currently looking into converting to the XNA engine, which has a reputation for being very easy-to-use. The game will be coded in C#, and the engine framework to support M&MX will need to be constructed first, before were able to import our assets.
Game Mechanics
In terms of game mechanics, we are basing M&MX on an updated version of the games Might and Magic 6, through Might and Magic 8. The fundamental basics for the game mechanics can be found on the following websites:
We will undoubtedly be doing some revisions and improvements on these game mechanics, but in order to accomplish this, we need the help of some experienced programmers and level designers who can help us create the initial framework for Might and Magic X.

ARLINGTON, Va. (WUSA) -- The FBI wants information about a robbery at the Bank of America on S. Glebe Road in Arlington from Tuesday.
According to authorities, a man wearing mirrored sunglasses walked into the bank at 3600 S. Glebe Road at approximately 4:02 p.m. and demanded money from a teller. He got the money and fled on foot.
The man is described as a black male, between 5'10" and 5'11" tall, approximately 165 pounds. At the time, he was wearing a black jacket, knit hat, scarf, black gloves, dark pants and tennis shoes along with the sunglasses.
If you have any information about the suspect or the crime, call FBI's Washington Field Office at 202-278-2000 or Det. Gary Skeens at 703-228-4166. You can also email firstname.lastname@example.com.
