1954 Ford F-100 - The DudeWritten by on May 1, 2008 Along With Performance, A Classic Truck Needs A Personality, Too
This is the story of "The Dude". What started as a quickie build for a shop truck turned out to be one cool dude for a customer...not to mention, an adventurous build. For my second official project, I found a '54 Ford F-100 to build into a parts runner and rough cruiser. The plan was to be creative about as many components as possible to keep the build cost down, and it worked-for a while. The independent front suspension is from a Jaguar XJ12 and cost $300. It came with a power rack-and-pinion, big four-piston disc brakes, antisway bar, and a nice-looking double A-arm setup. The Ford 4.6L engine and trans were snagged from a super low-mileage '94 Cougar XR7 and cost $1,500. I had the computer reprogrammed by Powertrain Dynamics in Huntington Beach, California, to maximize the fuel-injected engine's power and make the electronic overdrive shift like a hot rod. Oh, I forgot to mention the 100hp wet shot of nitrous to make things real exciting! The rear axle is a new Ford 9-inch from Currie Enterprises housing 3.89 gears, a Detroit Truetrac, 31-spline axles, Explorer disc brakes, and is suspended by a custom four-link with Martz coilovers. I boxed the front and rear framerails to support the added stress of the newly designed suspension and gave the whole thing a healthy coating of chassis black.
Initially, the body was going to get a rough "put back together" look, but a friend introduced me to a guy who just so happened to be in the market for a '50s truck. I then sketched a new vision for a more finished look for the Ford's soon-to-be proud new owner, Jacques L. Devore. Now the truck was going to get a cleaner, somewhat stock look with some subtle changes to make it street tough and stay daily-driver friendly. The NAsCAr-ready Aero wheels and Hoosier Pro-street tires add tons of attitude, while the exhaust exits through the side steps in a stock car style as well. The homemade shorty headers and dual 3-inch Borla XLs make for a fantastic sound roaring from that 4.6 powerplant.
After debating on what to do with the body, a call was made to Larry at Blue Oval Truck Parts. He helped me get just about everything: all-new fenders, bed kit, bumpers and those thousandand-one things to button "The Dude" up. An aluminum fuel cell was mounted between the framerails and the filler hole in the cab was filled to smooth out that area. The side steps were coated with bedliner so they are actually functional. The color is period-correct '54 Ford Glacier Blue, sprayed in an RM two stage. The door murals hold a personal meaning for Mr. Devore: He is an avid bicycle racer and his father's name is Leroy, so the homage was created borrowing the old Von Dutch winged-eye logo replaced with a bicycle wheel. There are even two bicycle holders mounted in the bed. The wings on the logo are hand-laid silver and copper leaf by Jimmy Eckers, a longtime movie studio artist and cool character.
The interior was designed to look and feel inviting using rich materials and warm colors. Power steering, power brakes, shoulder belts, Vintage Air, cell phone charger mounted in the ash tray, and a remote-operated kenwood stereo with dual amps and 10-inch subs hidden under and behind the seat are just some of the creature comforts. Most of the cab was insulated with Dynamat, which keeps the ride surprisingly quiet. High Quality Auto upholstery in santa Clarita, California, did a fantastic job with the stitching, including custom fabricating the wood ribs for the ultrasuede headliner.
Overall, "The Dude" is just a fantastic driver. Highly rewarding to push hard on the twisty canyon roads where I was lucky enough to get several hundred miles on him and a 75mph one-hand cruiser on the freeway (love that overdrive). It's funny how projects seem to have a life of their own and how the process can change so dramatically. I almost feel like I was along for the ride even though I turned every bolt.


text: By Carolyn LeeThe Imperial Republican The Nebraska Legislature passed LB 16 Monday, Feb. 11, transferring the ownership of Champion Mill State Historical Park from the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission (NGPC) to Chase County, in which it is located. LB 16 amended a bill passed last year doing the same thing. In LB 16, however, the property will remain with Chase County unless the county ceases to operate the property as a public park and recreation area, or a financial need arises that is detrimental to the county. In either case, the title to the property would revert to NGPC. State Sen. Mark Christensen of Imperial introduced the bill. The whole question of property ownership began when NGPC approached the Chase County Historical Society to see if it would be interested in becoming the owner of the area. The Historical Society suggested the county commissioners, who expressed interest. Commissioner Don Weiss Jr. noted that five other sites in Nebraska have already transferred from NGPC to local cities, counties or Natural Resource Districts. "Ours is the only one with a historical site on it. That's why the Game and Parks will take it back if the county fails to run it. He added that Champion residents are enthusiastic about the ownership transfer. NGPC is trying to reduce its operating costs by transferring ownership of some parks to local entities. Kirk Nelson, West Regional Manager of the Parks Division, told commissioners over a year ago that the mill is "a state treasure on the National Register of Historic Places. We want to make sure it's preserved. It tells a beautiful story." As the approval of the bill was so recent, commissioners have not yet received any paperwork concerning the transfer, according to Weiss Monday. "We don't even know what we get yet," he said. Weiss stressed that the county won't take ownership of the property until July 1. No decisions have been made by the commissioners on anything, he stated. "I presume a board will be put together" to operate the park, Weiss said. Concerns include lawn care, tours of the mill on weekends and holidays and pumping water to fill the lake. Weiss noted that donations are coming in to support the area. He said the commissioners hope to operate the facility on donations. Ten thousand dollars has been designated for the park in the county budget, but hasn't been used, Weiss said.

Trim Time - Technical Article - Classic Trucks MagazineWritten on May 3, 2006 Chevy Duty Makes Stainless Replacement Easy Duty
Back when I was a wee lad, I never hesitated to disassemble any and everything in my path. Much to my dear mother's dismay, the majority of those items remained in their state of undress for the remainder of their existence with me (dad didn't care much, as long as I put his tools back). As time wore on, that would change--mostly because mom and pops weren't so willing to provide me with the goodies to tear apart--but my ability to put things back together definitely improved.
While the same still holds true to this day (mainly the disassembly part), the challenge of successfully rebuilding something is greater than ever. Take, for instance, carburetors: While the inner workings oftentimes cause mild headaches, I still put forth every effort to familiarize myself with not only "how" the parts go together, but "why." Other things, like stainless body trim, are a whole different story.
As simple as it may appear to be, dealing with trim/molding is almost an art form. Sure, anyone can do it, but to do it right takes a lot of patience and, most importantly, a careful hand. When dealing with fresh paint, the last thing you want to do is make more work for the painter by scratching his recent hard work. The other important thing is to not damage the trim as it's being installed, as most of the metal (new and old) is fragile and likes to bend or kink with little effort on your part. In the past, dealing with body trim was like rebuilding a New Departure brake hub on my Schwinn when I was five years old--things came apart, but stayed apart! That was about to change.
After getting my '75 C-10 two-tone painted recently (see sidebar), I was faced with two options: Pay the bodyshop or someone else to install the new trim package from Chevy Duty, or do it myself. Not having the extra dough at the time was a big factor, but moreover, the fact that I wanted to give it a shot weighed heavily on the final decision--and I'm glad I took the opportunity! Not being a very patient person to begin with was the only real obstacle I had to deal with...well, that and the fact that I neglected to duplicate the trim holes in the new doors and fenders "before" the truck was painted! The aid of digital photos of the placement and type of fasteners/clips used on the original trim came in real handy, but I was still faced with having to drill through fresh paint, risking the chance of causing damage that would be visible beyond the trim's borders. As you will see, that was not the case.
With the complete side trim kit (PN#62-571) from Chevy Duty in my possession, the only thing I needed was a day to myself to attack the installation. With a cordless drill, a fresh roll of safe-release masking tape, and miscellaneous handtools--plus the obligatory stash of cold ones--I clocked in somewhere in the neighborhood of 8 a.m. or so and was tightening down the last finish screw long before the sun had set. Had the mounting holes been transferred when they were supposed to be, it would easily taken no more than a couple hours, tops. Each piece of replacement trim is provided with all the necessary clips (snap-fit, stud, and adhesive-backed) and polished stainless screws, so all you have to do is line the trim up, attach, and go!
Personally, '73-80 C-10s look too much like a modern truck without the complete set of stainless. Despite what many say, this is a classic, and it relies heavily on features like this to keep it so.
Gold Suede Hues
The photography might not do justice in revealing the actual "finish" on the '75 C-10. While both the PPG California Gold Metallic and Oxford White are sealed in clear, the final finish of each is a difference of night and day. For reasons still "unclear" to many, the main color was always intended to have a "suede" or matte finish. The easiest way to achieve this is by leaving the basecoat as-is, but the problem is that the paint is not protected, thus would not remain that way for long. The other realistic approaches are to either flatten regular clear (adding a flattening agent), color-sand the glossy clear down in grit succession until the finish is the desired sheen, or do like we did and seal the color with a clear like PPG's Flexed 'N' Flat, which was originally designed for use on things like Mercedes bumpers and side panels. Reduced properly (the more reducer used, the shinier the finish), the outcome is perfect suede. The best part is, the finish will last as long as you take care of it--washing, spray-waxing, etc.--which is something that can't be said for primer or non-cleared finishes.

Trim for '73-80 Chevy pickups can be ordered in individual pieces or in complete kit form through Chevy Duty. Since the '75 needed each and every shiny piece replaced, I went for the kit, which ends up being quite a bit cheaper in the long run.The cab trim was the first to be addressed. The corner pieces were installed with the new spring clips even though the old ones were still intact (didn't trust their "springiness").The band, however, was mounted without the new semi-hardware, as the original plastic clips for the band were left on and remained in good shape.All but one clip were in good shape. The bad apple was replaced with a new one with a handy rivet gun.Unlike the rest of the trim, the stainless band slides over the pre-installed clips. Here's an area that can quickly lead to a return trip to the paint shop--keep your eye on the leading edge of the band, as it's pretty sharp and can easily gouge the paint.With the band on snug and centered, the corners slip into the open ends before the stud on the spring clip goes through the pillar. A good-old pal nut is then used to secure the panel, and it's a good idea to throw a dab of silicone on the stud for a nice watertight fit.And now for the fun part--it's side trim time. I carefully laid all the pieces out in logistical order and then started from the front, as I knew I'd have more work on that end and wanted to wrap things up on a high note!The wheel arch trim went on without a hitch, as all four corners had the appropriate mounting holes in place. The front fenders and doors, however, weren't so obliging. A nice, crisp bodyline helped with alignment of the trim, which I taped on with 3M safe-release-type masking tape (to avoid adhesive lifting).
Besides having to cram my hands in tighter spaces than they were meant to go, these little guys made my life tough at times. Pal nuts can do a number on fingertips if you're not careful. They also won't come "off" unless constant pressure is pulled against them.All trim pieces have access points for the clips. I placed the stud clips at each corner and end of the front curved piece.A pencil marked the spot; a snap punch secured the spot; and a UniBit made a hole out of the spot. The punch is vital to keeping the drill bit in one spot, as is a steady hand! I didn't want to deal with effects of a wandering bit.Once all the required holes were drilled and deburred, the clips were positioned accordingly in the trim. Furthermore, the clips were secured in placed to eliminate any rattling by carefully pinching the stainless against them.A ratchet-type wrench is handy for tight spots, but not all of them. For any areas without rear access holes, it's harder to put adequate pressure on the pal nuts, but not impossible.The front piece mates up with the upper fender piece as such. To keep the slip-fit snug against the fender, a threaded clip is located in the front of the straight piece, and one can be added just forward (back of the curved piece) if the adhesive clip doesn't secure enough.The upper access holes inside the fender panel were used first to locate the spot for the hole, then for the obvious--to tighten the pesky pal nuts. Keeping pressure on the nuts helps ensure an even thread and a better fit.
Once the nuts were tightened down (with a little Loctite), the ends of the studs were carefully ground down with a Dremel, so avoid any damage to the doorjamb.The small rear cab pieces went on next. As with the corner piece just above, silicone was used on the clip studs to prevent water from getting inside the cab. If you encounter problems with slight bed alignment, the rear holes can be oversized a bit to allow for adjustment to help conceal.All three pieces of bed trim were outfitted with their respective clips, which were pinched in place before the trim was mounted. Pinching the clips on the longer upper piece is really important, as they're the only things holding the trim on between the front and the back.Had the front of the truck been properly equipped like the bed (with holes), the entire job would have been done a long time ago! Nevertheless, it was a job to be proud of, as the truck really came together with the stainless separating the two-tone.The brushed and accent-painted rear cab trim looks great in conjunction with the polished pieces (including the driprail molding that I repolished and painted), not to mention does a great job of dividing the colors, as well.And even the pieces that were the hardest to install looked great. The curved piece is malleable enough that you can gently tweak here and there to get a perfect fit--just don't get carried away and fold it!Shiny finishes aren't for everyone, right? Well, not always for me--I'm more at ease with a subtle suede or matte finish. In order to achieve that on the '75, we--meaning JBC and myself--went to PPG and came back with their Flexed 'N' Flat DCU 2060 Clear. Reduced properly, it produces an amazing matte finish. For the jambs, we used a regular glossy clear.We needed color underneath, so we used a color I had stored away for a rainy day: PPG's older Deltron 2000 California Gold, which is actually a late-'90s GM color.
The cure-time of the Flexed 'N' Flat is substantially longer than any typical clear, which may have to do with the amount of reducer used. As the clear dries, it begins to develop its flattened sheen. As you can see here, it still had a long way to go.

I cannot sync an HTC Desire S (aka HTC Saga, an Android 2.3 device) with my company's Zimbra server using HTC mail. I cannot even setup an Exchange Activesync account on my HTC. Whenever I enter the credentials, HTC Mail connects to the server, and then crashes (I need to force-close it).
Some details:
- We are running ZCS 6.0.4
- Mobile support is working. Syncing with Iphone works. Syncing with Windows Mobile works.
- Syncing with Zimbra using Touchdown works fine on the HTC Desire S (but I would rather use HTC mail, calendar etc., and not be forced to buy a 3rd party app).
- I have not been able to try with any other Android device.
Any ideas?

Use #3 and I will hold onto the other two for you . . . Just kidding, I would use #1.
I went and shot the 270 (#2) this evening and think it will probably get the job. I got the first 12 shots through it cleaning every round a few days back, shot 9 150gr round nose federals just to get on paper and start the break in (a friend bought them by mistake and gave them to me). The last 3 shots I switched to the 140gr accubond load I use for the #3 rifle and it shot just under 1" cleaning every shot. After letting it soak and getting all the copper out I shot one of the round noses for a fouler, and then my first 3 shot group without cleaning every shot. I made a pretty little cloverleaf, outside to outside was .68" center to center was .4". Next step is to get it over the chronograph, but I think my chances of getting 3K and matching my CDS turret are pretty good.
I like the Model 70 Winchesters a lot in .270. I'd go with that gun no matter what else you had.
I called up Nosler once when I had a .270. I asked him what he liked better for elk. The AB, or Partition. He didn't hesitate for a nano second, and said the Partition.
Absolute truth.
I would go with the model 70 .270 hands down but Im just a bit partial to model 70's and .270's I would also pick it because of the Leupold scope on it because in my experience they can take a hell of a beating and still be dead on. The .264 has always interested me but I have never owned 1 and I think yours would be on the heavy side for packing in the mountains. I agree with you on the remington safety. I had 1 go off on me years ago when I touched the safety and Im kinda gun shy of them. I do have a model 700 .270 that has been a great gun (its not the 1 that went off) but I havent used it much since I got my model 70 .270
I think the one you feel more comfortable with, what I'm more curious about is the safety issue you mentioned with you rem?
The safety issue is that when I carry a rifle on a sling I switch shoulders with it at times due to terrain or fatigue. When I carry a right handed bolt gun over my left shoulder the straight slide safety can rub into the fire position against my pack. Even with the chamber empty this lets the bolt rub open and exposes the chamber to debris. Probably would never happen without a pack, or maybe even with a narrower pack. The 3 position safety like an M70 or Ruger M77 has locks the bolt in the rear position and the safety has to swing all the way around to hit fire, so this isn't an issue. Tang safetys work good also, but some don't lock the bolt in the rear position.
I really like the safety in the bolt like the model 70. Its much more reliable then the ones like the 700.
I'd go with #3 since its the lightest rifle and very accurate.

Riverside County to send inmates to fire camps
Riverside is the first California county to authorize sending would-be state prisoners that have landed in jail as a result of realignment to state-operated inmate fire camps, officials say.
Riverside County supervisors voted unanimously last week to send up to 200 eligible jail inmates to two nearby camps run by the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, or CalFire, through June 30, 2017.
"There is a little irony here that the state is sending down low-level offenders to counties and we are sending them back to state facilities," Supervisor Kevin Jeffries said in a telephone interview Thursday.
The expense will be paid from realignment funds allocated to Riverside County by the state, county officials say. And the move is expected to relieve pressure that realignment is placing on the county's five-jail correctional system, from which 6,990 inmates were let out in 2012 to make room for newly sentenced inmates.
"Obviously it's no secret: we have a very serious capacity problem in our jails," Assistant Sheriff Steve Thetford told supervisors. "This will give us a little bit of relief, and I emphasize little bit."
The county's five jails have 3,906 beds.
The fire camp option is one of three being pursued to free up space, said Raymond Gregory, the chief deputy who oversees the correctional system.
Supervisors recently gave the OK to expand an anklet bracelet program that will allow more inmates to go home with electronic devices that track them.
Gregory said the Sheriff's Department also is considering housing inmates in jails of other counties and cities that have extra beds.
"That will be our next push," he said.
As for the fire camps, they likely will begin receiving inmates from Riverside County in late May, Gregory said.
For the balance of this fiscal year, which runs through June 30, the sheriff expects to send about 40 inmates to the Oak Glen camp near Beaumont and the Bautista camp near Hemet at an estimated cost of $87,300.
"We will be able to keep 40 bad guys in jail that otherwise we would have had to release," said Supervisor John Benoit.
Under a 4 1/2-year agreement with the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, the county may elect to house as many as 200 inmates at the camps. Gregory expects to reach that number in about a year.
According to a staff report, the county would incur a total annual cost of $3.4 million with 200 inmates, based on a $46.19 fee per day per inmate.
By comparison, it costs more than $142 a day to accommodate a person in jail.
Besides addressing jail crowding, the agreement could ease an emerging firefighting problem.
Under realignment, Sacramento shifted responsibility for nonviolent criminals from the state to its 58 counties. Since Oct. 1, 2011, local courts have been ordering people convicted of nonviolent felonies, and offenses that are not sex crimes, to do time in jails.
The move was in response to a U.S. Supreme Court ruling forcing California to thin out its state prison population.
Although the strategy seems to be achieving its intended purpose, it is saddling counties with thousands of felons who in the past would have gone to prison. Sitting at 85 percent capacity in October 2011, Riverside County's jails overflowed in January 2012. And the sheriff has been releasing droves of inmates since, because a federal court order prevents the county from housing more than its lockups are designed for.
The move also has reduced the pool of state prisoners eligible to become inmate firefighters because the ones now being sent to prison upon conviction aren't permitted to serve on fire lines.

#2... hard to beat getting a feel for the unit with the possibility of putting meat in the freezer.
I did not draw an archery tag this year in CO as a second choice. I now have enough points for next year that I should be able to go anywhere. But here is my dilema. I have never hunted mule deer so I dont want to waste my points next year on a good unit without some form of education. I am from the east coast and can only do one trip out west a year. So what will help me the most in terms of years to come? I was out elk hunting last year in a different unit so I have that under my belt. But, my thought is I have 3 main choices
1. Go to unit this year right before season in August that I want(hope) to draw in the future and scout. This way I can find the deer, feel comfortable with the land, see other hunters, etc.
2. Wait until October, grab a OTC elk tag and scout the unit I hope to draw for deer while maybe running into an elk. Bonus.
3. Go mule deer hunting anywhere to learn how to hunt mule deer!
Since I want to do this with a bow and backcountry solo(unless I find someone who will go with me, but thats another story) I keep going back and forth as to whats more important. Season, location, or practice?
#2... hard to beat getting a feel for the unit with the possibility of putting meat in the freezer.
is this unit not OTC archery elk? If it is, I would do that if you have to justify your expense with the chance to put meat in the freezer.
If you just want to scout the unit out a year in advance then I would take and "hunt" with a video camera the same dates you plan to go next year. What better way to document the unit and the animals you may be chasing than with a camera. Practice stalking and shooting with that. The footage you take will help you next year.
Excellent ideas and I especially like Rob's suggestion!
After some thought, with enough points to hunt anywhere, you're considering a unit(s) with OTC tags?
Scouting second season won't be too bad an idea bc if you can look around the winter concentration areas and find where the resident bucks hold up you're good to go on putting together a game plan.
I would hunt with a camera like Rob suggested this year or get the otc elk tag and chase them around while getting a feel for the terrain.
Thanks for the input guys! I am concentrating on the Gunnison area and based on the OTC Elk archery tag maps its looks like I am out of luck with that option. I do love carry my camera with me on hunts so I am glad most think this is the best option. Thanks again.
If you haven't done so already, I would buy all the Eastmans Books on Mule deer hunting and Elk hunting.
Books, by Guy Eastman, Cameron Hanes, and David Long. They are very informative and your getting years of experience from experts.
definitly having boots on the ground is the best bet, either with a gun or camera, its hard to get a feel for any area by just looking at maps, they help but its not the same as being there and seeing the animals in their hideyholes
I am going to the unit July 1-6 to scout for 2nd season elk, which we plan to rifle hunt in late October. PM me your areas you are thinking about checking out and if they are where I am going, I will be happy to send you photos and a scouting report from my 4 treks I plan to take.

File:Post-Glacial Sea Level.png
From Global Warming Art
Other sizes: 100, 200, 300, 450, Full Size (526x359, 19KB)
This figure shows sea level rise since the end of the last glacial episode based on data from Fleming et al. 1998, Fleming 2000, & Milne et al. 2005. These papers collected data from various reports and adjusted them for subsequent vertical geologic motions, primarily those associated with post-glacial continental and hydroisostatic rebound. The first refers to deformations caused by the weight of continental ice sheets pressing down on the land, the latter refers to uplift in coastal areas resulting from the increased weight of water associated with rising sea levels. It should be noted that because of the latter effect and associated uplift, many islands, especially in the Pacific, exhibited higher local sea levels in the mid Holocene than they do today. Uncertainty about the magnitude of these corrections is the dominant uncertainty in many measurements of sea level change.
The black curve is based on minimizing the sum of squares error weighted distance between this curve and the plotted data. It was constructed by adjusting a number of specified tie points, typically placed every 1 kyr but at times adjusted for sparse or rapidly varying data. A small number of extreme outliers were dropped. It should be noted that some authors propose the existence of significant short-term fluctuations in sea level such that the sea level curve might oscillate up and down about this ~1 kyr mean state. Others dispute this and argue that sea level change has largely been a smooth and gradual process. However, at least one episode of rapid deglaciation, known as meltwater pulse 1A, is agreed upon and indicated on the plot. A variety of other accelerated periods of deglaciation have been proposed (i.e. MWP-1B, 2, 3, 4), but it unclear if these actually occurred or merely reflect misinterpretation of difficult measurements. No other events are evident in the data presented above.
The lowest point of sea level during the last glaciation is not well constrained by observations (shown here as a dashed curve), but is generally argued to be approximately 130 +/- 10 m below present sea level and to have occurred at approximately 22 +/- 3 thousand years ago. The time of lowest sea level is more or less equivalent to the last glacial maximum. Prior to this time, ice sheets were still increasing in size so that sea level was decreasing semi-continuously over a period of approximately 100,000 years.

While most of us enjoy a hearty Rioja or a glass of sangria with tapas, the unique relationship between Spanish sherry and a Scottish whisky offers a more adventurous flavour of the region.
It means that when Jerez sherry casks are used for the maturation stages of some Laphroaig whisky expressions, the intriguing result can be traced back hundreds, and potentially thousands of years.
For while Laphroaig whisky, distilled on Scottish island of Islay, boasts a rich 200-year-old heritage, the Jerez region has been producing wine since 1100BC, and fortified wine - sherry - since at least the 13th century, with many believing production began even earlier.
Located in the south west of Spain, Jerez continues to produce sherry for export around the globe. In all there are more than 10,000 hectares (25,000 acres) of vineyards in the region and sherry is produced in a variety of styles, ranging from dry, light versions such as finos to darker heavier versions known as olorosos, made from the Palomino grape - with sweet dessert wines also being made from Pedro Ximenez or Moscatel grapes.
Tapas enjoys a similarly rich heritage, believed to have evolved as a cuisine in its own right from a more functional origin when food like bread and pieces of ham were used as a 'cover' or 'lid' - the translation of tapa - for wine to keep flies out of the drink.
Luckily, drinkers quickly learnt that the tapas and wine were an ideal combination for consumption, which is why Laphroaig is bringing together some of its expressions, including the 25 year old and Triple Wood matured in sherry casks, for a unique live online tasting session with specially-prepared tapas dishes.
Broadcasting live from the Harvey's bodegas in Jerez, this live and interactive event will offer a further insight into the creation of the sherry cask-matured expressions, by comparing Bourbon cask matured Laphroaig with sherry matured Laphroaig to assess how the flavours of the wooden barrels help contribute to the distinctive taste.
It will also give viewers a behind the scenes tour of the region and introduce experts who will be pairing a selection of whiskies with authentic Spanish tapas that bring out the rich and creamy notes of the whisky whilst complimenting the bold flavours of Spanish cuisine.
John Campbell, Jose Antonio Souto, Diego Sandrin and Simon Brooking join us live online at www.laphroaig.com/live to take part in this live tasting session on Thursday 23rd September 2010 at 20:00 CET (GMT +1)

The introductory video showing the hotels construction is fascinating - there is a version on youtube. Its a free standing structure held up by little more than ice and spit (or something). Each year selected artists are given a room to design and make their own. It all comes down again in the spring.

The first was in the Naval Club in London with Riccardo Prosecco and a bring-a-bottle tasting. ARSE 2 was a picnic on the highest point of the Chilterns with stunning views across the Aylesbury Vale. Not that anyone apart from me and some helpers knew this, nor the weather which, after a glorious week, turned to wind and rain for the first half of the day.
So the plan to walk up the hill worked OK despite getting lost in the woods. That WAS my fault. The late arrivals escaped this pre-tasting exercise and were ferried up by car. (Though this came with a price - carrying the final supplies across the hill to our little tasting area).
For some reason plans for a video shoot were forgotten and I hardly took any still photos at all! Nor did I eat much, or even get to try all the wines! Ooops.
Of the wines we began with a selection supplied by Nick of Bordeaux Undiscovered. Two sparklers, two whites, two rosés and two reds - all bar the latter served blind. Food was next - delicious homemade cakes crafted by Tasha Karalsinggam after a selection of salads, meats and so on from Waitrose Entertaining. There were also three cheeses I picked up from my local deli and two pies from my local butcher (Game and Pork and Leek). All this washed down with a Hardy's Pinot Grigio and a bag-in-box Shiraz-Cabernet.
The final wine selection comprised an Australian red from Waitrose and three whites from Oddbins. (Wine specifics saved for another post).
The ARSE concept - in addition to providing a little mystique in not knowing the format or exact location and a little juvenile play with the acronym ("I kiss you on both cheeks") - is to make wine tastings fun, more social and open them up to non-bloggers/non-wine experts/non-tweeters. So, in addition to my friends (many thanks again for helping out), we were joined by husbands and friends to add to the social mix. I hope all enjoyed the day.
Wine Myths and Reality by Benjamin Lewin MW
Available from Amazon.co.uk for £35
Based on years of extensive research, Wine Myths and Reality opens new doors by delving into the reality behind the mystique of wine. Covering all aspects of production and styles of wine worldwide, extending from viticulture to the trade, it explains what really goes into that bottle of wine, whether it's the cheapest plonk or the most expensive cult wine.
The first section asks the basic question: how does viticulture influence the quality of grapes and the style of the wine? Dealing with vinification, the second part asks whether "minimal intervention" winemaking makes better wine or whether wine is really made by the winemaker's decisions. The consequences of the worldwide glut of wine are the subject of the third part. The sections on New World wines and European wines are organized into chapters on individual countries, offering a penetrating analysis of the success or failure of their wine styles.
This magisterial worldwide survey leaves no area of wine production untouched, major trends are analyzed and explained, and the reader gains a unique insight into the reality of modern winemaking.

Inside Burgundy by Jasper Morris MW
Not yet available
Inside Burgundy is a serious book for serious wine lovers. Offering unrivalled insights on the vineyards, the wine and the people, the 656-page book covers 1,000 specific vineyards from grand crus to obscure plots.
Internationally acclaimed wine writer, Steven Spurrier, says in his foreword to Inside Burgundy: "To sum up, Jasper Morris has found a way to illuminate the bafflingly complex relationships between people and place, vigneron and vineyard, which are at the heart of Burgundy. Authors have tried before and superb books have resulted; none, however, has succeeded quite so well in presenting the detail, in making clear the pattern, without drowning the reader in nuance, exception and ambiguity."
The book will be published in October, but a 16-page preview of Inside Burgundy can be viewed at http://www.bbr.com/GB/about/inside-burgundy.
Inside Burgundy is written by an expert who combines three decades of intimate on-the-ground knowledge of Burgundy with the healthy scepticism of an international wine merchant.
Jasper Morris has lived, breathed, bought and sold Burgundy since 1981. He has a home there, he makes his living there. He has built up over 30 years the kind of exact, on-the-ground knowledge that only someone based in the region can acquire.
Alongside his treatment of the vineyards, Jasper brings out the role of the vignerons and today's influence on them, and thus their wines. We learn the histories, their philosophies, their relationships (so many cousins, so many marriages, so many tangled inheritances - as Jasper says, the book really demands the subtitle 'The Sex Life of Burgundy').
The wine maps surpass anything previously published in English. They have been produced to match Jasper's work in breadth of coverage and depth of detail.
Wine lovers crave information and judgement: Inside Burgundy offers unrivalled insights into just why this small slice of France yields the world's most treasured wines.
The book will be available for sale in October priced £50, however customers can pre-register to reserve their limited edition signed copy at: http://www.bbr.com/about/inside-burgundy

They said he could be announced by tomorrow.
This is weird and I can't say I like it. I love Rick Majerus and even if he's only there for 5-6, he gives them some instant credibility.
A three legged dog walks into a bar and says, "I'm lookin' for the man who shot my paw."
I love Majerus, its a shame that I have to begin to hate him now...
--Luck of the Cyrish--
Sounds like the rumor is getting some credibility. I hope the fanbase whips themselves into a frenzy, then Barta introduces someone else. Kinda a reverse-Chizik situation.
Forever trying to find a cure for the Dunning-Kruger Effect.
I like that situation, but I think an even better situation will be Hawkeye fans calling for his head after they don't make the NCAA's next year.

Barta will have absolutely hit this out of the park if it's true.
Does anyone recall a year or two ago when Majerus was calling a Kentucky on ESPN, and Ashley Judd was in the stands... and Rick made some comment about what he'll be thinking about back in the hotel room after the game? Lewis Black made a reference to it on the Daily Show, it was absolutely hilarious.
ahh wait.... I found it.
Rick Majerus, formerly the Utah head coach and currently ESPN's college basketball version of John Kruk, had this to say near the end of broadcasting a particularly bad game on ESPN, give or take a word: ''Well, there's not much to look forward to from here on out, so I'm trying to find Ashley Judd in the crowd. It beats the adult videos at the hotel.''

I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around the banks will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered.

Well, he managed to get Utah on 3 years probation before he left -- and lost a scholarship (assistants fired, etc) -so I guess that will be fine for them! :)

Some Rick Majerus quotes courtesty of http://www.activejoints.com/majerus/majquotes.html
The waitress said, "We have stuffed mushrooms, veal-stuffed shells, white pizza, pasta, steamed mussels...." "Just keep it coming," Rick Majerus replied. "Would you like some veal parmesan?" "Yeah, we'll take five of those." The waitress walked away. "Does she know I'm not kidding?" Majerus said. "I hope she knows I'm not kidding."

He'll be a good hire for them. Nice guy(at least it seems that way on t.v.), so will be a good change from what they had.
His name should sit well with recruits. It will still be a tough road for them short term. He also has some tough competition in that conference.
I think if this happens, he will be a good recruiter, because he is so well known. But the question will be can he still coach?
He could end up being like Wayne Morgan, great recruiter, and not a good coach.

Fed, eh not so much.
I remember two years ago watching Bolleli live in a tourney playing Cilic and first time I ever heard of him, but immediately me and my friends were mezmorized.....he is looking gooood.ReplyDelete
Fed looks relaxed, no alarm in his camp apparently.. He'll lose again in SF, but no worry, he gets it all, he figured Rafa and Murray out.....more nerves wrecking for his fans.

HA! Wardrobe changes. . .excellent.ReplyDelete
I love those Nike t-shirts, though.
My question is - does he actually wash and rewear them, or just toss them in the wastebasket on his way out of the lockerroom?
FF: I'm thinking his PR peeps would say he reworks them, being socially-conscious and all.ReplyDelete
My take is he trashes them OR has them washed, stamped with his autograph (quicker and more efficient than actually signing each one), and hands them out to his minions.
I'd surely take one. Just a whiff.
The only thing I like, no love, about Fed is his hair. It's perfect. I'm totally jealous of those waves. Perfect I tell you! Even when it's sweaty, it's beautiful. If I were a guy, I'd copy it! It has long (well not long, just since he got rid of that punk ass pony tail) been a dream of mine to run my fingers through his hair and whisper sweet nothings about Rafa in his ear. Perfect!ReplyDelete

Press Release 13-078 'Dark Oxidants' Form Away from Sunlight in Lake and Ocean Depths, Underground Soils
New findings overturn understanding of light-dependent environmental oxidants
Superoxide-producing bacteria live in dark places like the depths of Elkhorn Slough, Calif.
Credit and Larger Version
May 2, 2013
Breathing oxygen...can be hazardous to your health?
Indeed, our bodies aren't perfect. They make mistakes, among them producing toxic chemicals, called oxidants, in cells. We fight these oxidants naturally, and by eating foods rich in antioxidants such as blueberries and dark chocolate.
All forms of life that breathe oxygen--even ones that can't be seen with the naked eye, such as bacteria--must fight oxidants to live.
"If they don't," says scientist Colleen Hansel of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in Massachusetts, "there are consequences: cancer and premature aging in humans, death in microorganisms."
These same oxidants also exist in the environment. But neutralizing environmental oxidants such as superoxide was a worry only for organisms that dwell in sunlight--in habitats that cover a mere 5 percent of the planet.
That was the only place where such environmental oxidants were thought to exist.
Now researchers have discovered the first light-independent source of superoxide. The key is bacteria common in the depths of the oceans and other dark places.
The bacteria breathe oxygen, just like humans. "And they're everywhere--literally," says Hansel, co-author of a paper reporting the results and published in this week's issue of the journal Science Express.
The result expands the known sources of superoxide to the 95 percent of Earth's habitats that are "dark." In fact, 90 percent of the bacteria tested in the study produced superoxide in the dark.
"Superoxide has been linked with light, such that its production in darkness was a real mystery," says Deborah Bronk of the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Ocean Sciences, which co-funded the research with NSF's Division of Earth Sciences.
"This finding shows that bacteria can produce superoxide in the absence of light."
The bacteria are found "miles beneath the seafloor, in hot fluids coming from underwater volcanoes, in every type of underground soil and throughout deep lake and ocean waters," Hansel says.
The number of these bacteria in a thimble of seawater or soil is greater than the human population of San Francisco. And they're all releasing large amounts of superoxide.
On Earth's surface, "superoxide can kill corals, turning them white," says Hansel. "It can also produce huge fish kills during red tides. But it's not always bad."
It also helps ocean microorganisms acquire the nutrients they need to survive. And superoxide may remove the neurotoxin mercury from the sea, keeping it out of fish and off dinner plates.
The bacteria that produce superoxide could account for the total amount of the chemical in the oceans, Hansel and colleagues say, and are likely the main source in dark environments.
"That's a paradigm shift that will transform our understanding of the chemistry of the oceans, as well as of lakes and underground soils," says Hansel, "and of the life forms that live in and depend on them."
Co-authors of the paper are Julia Diaz and Chantal Mendes of Harvard University, Peter Andeer and Tong Zhang of Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution and Bettina Voelker of the Colorado School of Mines.

In 1997, Business Wire introduced the Smart News Release (SNR), which allowed users to embed photos, audio, video and other multimedia into press releases. Not only does multimedia help a press release stand out to reporters or readers, but it also increases the reach of a release in search engines. Although often overlooked, Google Images receives a huge amount of search traffic and can actually drive readers back to your release. Our research has found that releases with multimedia receive 1.7 times more reads than those without.
Back when we first introduced SNRs, clients would often provide us with hard-copy photos, which were then scanned by Business Wire editors to be made available in high resolution to media and web viewers. Today, we distribute hundreds of releases with multimedia every week.
Check out what some of our experienced editors have to say about how best to submit multimedia and best practices for writing photo captions.

Dubuque County Changes Policy On Missing Children
DUBUQUE, Iowa (AP) - Dubuque County is changing its process for handling missing children.
The county is now using an alert system called, "A Child is Missing."
Dubuque County Sheriff Don Vrotsos decided to make the change in his county's policy after the two missing cousins in Black Hawk County weren't found.
Lyric Cook and Elizabeth Collins are still missing after two
Vrotsos says the new system will allow him to send out an automated telephone message to about 1,000 individuals per minute in the immediate area of the missing person.
It can be used when any child, mentally ill, or elderly person disappears.
The current Amber Alert system is only used when a child is in immediate danger and there's specific description of a vehicle or suspect.

text: Home Culture The Root Review: 'Night Catches Us' Starring Anthony Mackie and Kerry Washington, Tanya Hamilton's moving debut takes us back to 1976, when Jimmy Carter was about to be president, funk was king and the Black Panthers were trying to pick up the pieces. By: Salamishah Tillet Posted: Dec. 3 2010 12:20 AM 0 The Black Panther Party in its twilight, circa 1976. Gone are the breakfast programs, dashikis, megaphones and big Afros, as well as the gun-toting, black-leather-clad militants. In the wake of the formidable black nationalist movement are both ruin and rumination. Single black mothers trying to save a community, former Black Panther members turned vigilantes, and fatherless daughters haunted by the legendary leaders of the past. Set in Philadelphia, Tanya Hamilton's moving debut feature, Night Catches Us, is neither nostalgic nor sentimental. Her attention to period details is focused, meticulous and unswerving. Within the first few minutes of the film, the viewer is caught up in a faraway past: When Jimmy Carter was on the verge of becoming president, plaid pants and pageboy caps were in style, and Cadillacs rested on every corner. Most remarkably, it was still a time when black people held bail parties for those wrongly incarcerated and refused a "stop and frisk" by cops because it denied their constitutional rights. Anthony Mackie plays Marcus Washington, a former Panther leader who mysteriously returns to Philadelphia to attend his father's funeral. Where has he been all these years? In prison for his Panther activities? Or laying low because he was secretly an FBI informant? The ambiguity surrounding his recent past is a tension that drives much of the plot. But the true mystery that Hamilton tries to unravel is far more ambitious. Moving past the grand narratives of Huey Newton, Stokely Carmichael, and Eldridge and Kathleen Cleaver, Hamilton turns her camera to the everyday lives of Panther members, people who valiantly fought for racial freedom but who now are plagued by the reality that they may have won certain battles, but ultimately they lost the war. Mackie, who last co-starred with Kerry Washington in Spike Lee's She Hate Me, is a thoughtful character actor with a distinguished biography: the soul-searching gay artist in Brother to Brother, the conflicted and contradictory lead in Tupac, and the cautious Sergeant J.T. Sanborn in the Oscar-winning Hurt Locker. Here, Mackie manages to restrain some of the explosive energy needed for those other roles to turn Marcus into a contemplative figure caught straddling the two worlds of his Black Panther past and his uncertain future. The rest of the cast is equally talented: Washington plays Patricia "Pattie" Wilson, a former BP member turned defense lawyer whose husband was brutally murdered in a standoff with Philadelphia police; Jamie Hector (The Wire, Heroes) plays Dwayne "DoRight" Miller, the last standing -- and last gun-carrying -- Party member; while his compatriot from The Wire, the very capable Wendell Pierce, plays a conflicted black cop who hates racial profiling and yet endorses planting evidence on a suspect. Besides Marcus, the most compelling characters in the film are those literally growing up in the shadows of the black power movement: the Panther wannabe Jimmy Dixon (Amari Cheatom) and Patricia's young daughter, Iris (Jamara Griffin). Both Cheatom and Griffin give solid performances as young people who know of the Black Panthers only through relics: pictures, comic books and rumors. Their characters, particularly that of Iris, are a welcome addition to the big screen. Arguably, the only other pop-culture example in which we've seen the history of the black power movement depicted from the point of view of a young black girl is Danzy Senna's groundbreaking novel, Caucasia. Senna's novel, however, gives us an even more critical view of the racial politics and sexism of the era than does Night Catches Us. Patricia and Marcus' relationship hints at a gender equality, but we know from history that such equity was often absent in the actual Panther Party. Still, the film depicts just how complicated motherhood was for Party women, who too often were forced to choose between shooting "pigs" and saving their children. This is a struggle of which Patricia is all too aware. After Marcus moves in with her, her ex-boyfriend Carey tells her, "You're living in the past, Patricia. This house, this neighborhood, you're all fighting imaginary enemies." But as the movie slows down history, highlighting the high price paid by black radicals and their families, Night Catches Us sometimes feels too slow, too silent, and leaves the viewer stuck, waiting for the inevitable -- and predictable -- tragedy that is the movie's climax. Veering into the realm of the slow drama, like HBO's Treme, in which Pierce also appears, Night Catches Us strives to keep the viewer engaged with period details, filling the plot's gaps with provocative performances, creative storytelling and brilliant backbeats. Scored by Philly's own legendary group the Roots (whose lead MC -- Tariq "Black Thought" Trotter -- appears in the role of Bostic Washington), the music is a potent reminder that much of the Black Panther Party's dissent and defiance refused to die with its leaders and would eventually live on in the sonic dissonance of hip-hop.

One significant bout from a previously untelevised UFC 126 preliminary card will stream for free on Facebook.
UFC officials today announced via its 4.5 million-member-strong Facebook account that recent UFC signee Norifumi "Kid" Yamamoto (18-3 MMA, 0-0 UFC) and post-merger WEC import Demetrious Johnson (8-1 MMA, 0-0 UFC) will fight on the stream.
The bantamweight bout begins at 8:25 p.m. ET (5:25 p.m. PT) on Saturday.
UFC 126 takes place Saturday at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas and features a middleweight title fight between champion Anderson Silva and challenger Vitor Belfort. The main card airs on pay-per-view, and two additional bouts air on Spike TV as part of a "UFC Prelims" special.
Currently, there's no word if the night's other three untelevised prelims (Gabe Ruediger vs. Paul Taylor, Kyle Kingsbury vs. Ricardo Romero, and Mike Pierce vs. Kenny Robertson) will join Yamanoto vs. Johnso on the Facebook stream.
Facebook, of course, recently became a "UFC Prelims" live-stream outlet for UFC Fight Night 23, which marked the first time Facebook had streamed a live sporting event. The broadcast took place earlier this month.
To access UFC 126's stream, viewers must visit the UFC's official Facebook profile (www.facebook.com/ufc) and push the "Like" button for the page.
Yamamoto, once widely considered the world's top featherweight fighter, competed at 145 pounds despite it being his walking-around weight. (He even fought as heavy as 155 pounds simply to get fights booked.) After opening his career with a 17-1 mark, he suffered DREAM losses to Joe Warren (split decision) and Masanori Kanehara (unanimous decision). Recently, though, he rebounded with a first-round knockout of unheralded Federico Lopez at DREAM.14.
Johnson, a decorated high-school wrestler in Washington state, posted a 6-0 pro record and signed with the WEC earlier this year. "Mighty Mouse" then suffered a decision loss to Brad Pickett at WEC 48. However, he since has earned a decision win over Nick Pace at WEC 51 and a submission win over Damacio Page at WEC 52. Seven of his eight wins now have come via stoppage.

Money Watch, a personal finance column that runs every Saturday, features a financial planner from the National Association of Personal Financial Advisorsanswering reader questions about saving, protecting and growing your money. To submit a question, e-mail USA TODAY personal finance reporter Christine Dugas at: firstname.lastname@example.com.
Q: I am 27, married and about to have my first child. I have $10,000 sitting in a 401(k) plan at a previous job. I owe $20,000 in credit card debt, with a 9.5% interest rate that is killing me. Should I take out some or all of my 401(k) saving to pay off my debt?
A: I generally would not recommend withdrawing money from your 401(k) savings plan to pay off your credit card debt.
First, there is a steep immediate cost: You will have to pay ordinary income taxes on the 401(k) withdrawal, plus a 10% penalty. This will likely reduce your balance by at least 25%, turning your $10,000 into $7,500 or less. Using this money to pay down your credit card would still leave you with a balance of $12,500 and if you have no other retirement account you will have zero retirement savings.
Second, there is a much larger long-term cost. By withdrawing the money now, you will not be able to take advantage of the long-term growth of your 401(k). For example, say your $10,000 was to grow at an average rate of 6% per year for 35 years. At the end of the 35 years your 401(k) would be worth $76,861.
So for every $1,000 you withdraw today, you could be costing your future self $7,686. This is a very expensive way to pay off credit card debt.
Here's what I suggest first: Together with your husband, make a commitment to get a handle on your family finances and develop a plan that will help you have financial security now and in the future. Part of achieving that is having a plan to pay off your credit card debt as quickly as possible.
Since using your 401(k) retirement savings to pay off your debt is not a good option, the money has to either come from spending less or earning more. Some ways to do that:
•Track where your money goes. Start by writing down every single household expense you have for at least a month. Use this to help identify specific areas where you can reduce or eliminate spending, and you can then use the savings to pay down your credit card debt.
•Try and lower your credit card rate. Even though 9.5% is a relatively low interest rate for a credit card, it may be worth contacting the credit card company to see if they can reduce your rate further. Before you call them, go to a website, such as CreditCards.com, that can provide a script to reduce credit card rate and tactics on how to increase your odds of success.
•Earn extra income. This could involve working a side job, asking for a raise at work or selling some of your belongings. Use the extra money to pay down that debt.
•Consider reducing retirement plan contributions. If you or your husband currently put money into a 401(k) plan, think about reducing your contributions temporarily in order to give you more cash to pay down debt. But if the employer offers a company match, don't reduce your contributions below that threshold.
If your situation is more dire and you simply do not have the money to make ends meet, you may want seek financial counseling and debt management help.
