Frakes tried his hand at a regular series in the revamp of "Bare Essence" (NBC, 1983) and in the similarly glitzy "Paper Dolls" (ABC, 1984), but the third time proved the charm with "ST:TNG". Initially he seemed to be called on to handle romantic leading man duties, but the more cerebral tone to the series kept his character less volatile and randy than William Shatner's somewhat parallel Capt. Kirk. Mentored by series creator Gene Roddenberry, Frakes successfully lobbied the show's producers to step behind the camera to direct several episodes of the series, to good effect: the Frakes-helmed episodes were among "ST:TNG's" most entertaining outings. In return, Frakes remained particularly lo... Continue Bio >>

On the C5, I think the 18" wheels were a mistake, and they need to return that to 19" wheels, or at least a 19" wheel on the front.It was common back in the old days to use a 19" front and 18" rear.My Ducati 750 bevelhead twins had 19" front and 18" rear, and had a leading-axle fork too, and it handled like it was on rails.There are enough comments about the C5 feeling "light and twitchy" at higher speeds that the added rotational stability of a 19" wheel would make sense, too.And the 19" front wheel looks very good on that modified C5 that ScooterBob did.
I have an AVL Electra 2009. Will it help to put 19inch wheel no teh front. How about the gear sprocket.
I like the idea of a 18" rear and 19" front, that will allow me to run tires I'm familliar with. A lot of the bikes I've had were set up that way. I'm positive a 19" front will get rid of most if not all ot the light twitchyness.
Well, I'm home alone so I propped the bike up straight and measured down the fork leg with a yard stick, I had to use a level for a plumb bob but that should work shouldn't it? I measured 3 times and came up with a measurement of 4 5/8" when I have help I'll try again.

Saturday News, December 22
(Le Mars) -- Sexual exploitation charges in Plymouth County have been dropped against a former Akron-Westfield wrestling coach. Chad Utesch was charged with one felony count and five misdemeanor counts of sexual exploitation by a school employee. Utesch was an assistant wrestling coach at Akron-Westfield and was charged with committing the offenses with a female student between February and December of 2011. In his decision to approve the defense motion to dismiss the charges, Judge Jeff Neary ruled that since Utesch's coaching certificate had expired in January of 2010, he did not meet the definition of a school employee, and could not be charged as such.
Akron Fire Department Battles Barn Fire
(Akron) -- Akron's Fire Department responded to a barn fire Friday morning. Fire officials were on the scene of that barn fire for nearly two and a half hours located at 30795 Dove Avenue. The call came in shortly after 10:00 a.m. There is no report as to how much damage was sustained, or the cause of that fire.
Hinton and Merrill Fire Departments Respond To Early Morning Structure Fire
(Hinton) -- Both the Hinton and Merrill Fire Departments were called to a structure house and garage fire Saturday morning at about 6:45 a.m. That fire is located at 32278 Indigo Road. Hinton Fire Chief Chad Beck describes the scene.
Listen to
Fire officials were still at the scene at the time of this posting. Beck says the house is a total loss.
Auditions For "Arsenic and Old Lace" Announced
(Le Mars) -- Auditions for the next Le Mars Community Play are scheduled for 7:00 p.m. on January 7th and 8th. This time around the Postal Playhouse will feature the comedy, "Arsenic and Old Lace". The story features two elderly sisters who are famous in their Brooklyn neighborhood for their numerous acts of charity. Unfortunately, however, their charity includes poisoning lonely old men who come to their home looking for lodging. The two women are assisted in their crimes by their mentally challenged nephew who believes he is Teddy Roosevelt. A second nephew is a theater critic who discovers the murders and a third nephew appears after having just escaped from a mental institution. The play will be directed by Margaret Britton and scripts can be checked out prior to the auditions.
Gehlen Students Speak About Holiday Bowl Trip
(Le Mars) -- As we mentioned yesterday, Gehlen Catholic High School and Junior High Band are preparing to perform at San Diego next week for the Holiday Bowl festivities. The students will leave Le Mars on Christmas evening for a 32 hour long direct bus ride to the west coast. This is not the first time Gehlen Catholic has been invited to perform at Bowl game activities. In recent years, Gehlen traveled to Orlando, Florida to perform at the Champ's Florida Citrus Bowl and at the Alamo Bowl held at San Antonio, Texas.
Shelby Puhl (Pool) is a senior at Gehlen and plays the trombone. This trip will mark her third time to perform at a bowl game and she says she is looking forward to the parade.
Listen to
Puhl says the parade route isn't that long, and she says she is anxious to see the helium-filled balloons.
Listen to
Another Gehlen senior, Ashley Kellen, is experienced with bowl performances. Like Shelby Puhl, this will mark Ashley's third time. Kellen says she has never visited California and is looking forward to the experience.
Listen to
No doubt the Gehlen band students will face a hectic schedule once they leave Le Mars, but they will have time to relax and Kellen explains what sight seeing opportunities she wants to see.
Listen to
Two other Gehlen seniors will also be making the trip to San Diego are Kellen Nilles and foreign exchange student Luis Moreno. For Nilles, in addition to playing the clarinet, she also serves as the drum majorette. She talks about the challenges of keeping the band in step and on beat.
Listen to
Luis Moreno plays the piano and keyboards but during the marching parades, he will take up the sticks and play the snare drum set. He talks about what he is most anxious to see on the trip.
Listen to
And there is one other thing that Moreno hopes to see while in California.
Listen to
You can watch the Gehlen Catholic Band march in the Holiday Bowl Parade which will be seen on Friday morning at 8:00 a.m. local time on USA network, and the Gehlen Band will also perform during the halftime festivities of the Holiday Bowl which can be seen on ESPN, Thursday evening at about 8:30 p.m. local time.
Des Moines School District Against Armed Guards In Schools
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - Iowa's largest public school district is questioning the National Rifle Association's call for armed police in every school across the country.
Des Moines Public Schools spokesman Phil Roeder says the proposal Friday doesn't offer details about funding or staffing concerns. He also says it's going to be state and federal policy
makers that will make any changes.
The Iowa State Education Association also has expressed some opinion on the issue, which stems after a school shooting in Connecticut last week killed 20 children and six educators. The group says they adamantly oppose educators bringing weapons to school. They also say they support efforts to increase mental health awareness.
Pregnant Woman Was Fatal Victim In I-35 Multiple Car Crash
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - Iowa authorities say one of the victims of a 25-car pileup caused by a major snow storm was pregnant with twins.
The Iowa State Patrol says Colby Duckett Bostick of Clear Lake was killed in the massive wreck Thursday morning on Interstate Highway 35 in northern Iowa.
Iowa State Patrol spokesman Sergeant Scott Bright says the 27-year-old Bostick was struck by a vehicle after she got out of her car to check on another child.
The newspaper reports Bostick announced her pregnancy in November.
Officials also say 43-year-old Sheila Blood of Arkansas was killed. Seven others were injured.
Authorities say poor visibility caused the chain reaction of crashes when drivers were unable to see vehicles that had slowed or stopped.
Iowa's Population Growing At A Fast Rate
DAVENPORT, Iowa (AP) - Iowa is growing more quickly as the current decade begins than it did during the first couple years of the previous decade.
The Quad-City Times reports that U.S. Census Bureau figures show Iowa's population grew by 10,089 people between July 1, 2011, and July 1, 2012.
In the two years between 2000 and 2002, the population grew by 5,167 people.
Iowa's growth was largely driving by births outnumbering deaths and more people moving to the state from other countries.
Even as the population increased, more people moved from Iowa to other states than moved from other states to Iowa.
As of July 1, Iowa's population was 3,074,186.
Business Litigation Court Created
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - A court that specializes in handling complex business litigation will be created under a three-year pilot program meant to improve the efficiency of the Iowa judicial
The Iowa Supreme Court issued an order Friday establishing the Iowa Business Specialty Court, which will handle disputes in cases involving intellectual property rights, business contracts,
commercial property and more.
The supreme court will select three judges to join the court based on their prior experience handling such cases. They will be tasked with adopting case management practices that help resolve
high-stakes business cases quickly and fairly.
Participation will be voluntary, and all parties must agree to opt in. Only cases in which damages totaling $200,000 or more are alleged, or those seeking injunctive or declaratory relief will be
eligible for the docket.
Dentist's Firing Of Assistant Is Upheld In Supreme Court
IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) - The Iowa Supreme Court says a dentist did not commit gender discrimination when he fired an attractive female assistant he viewed as a threat to his marriage.
The court ruled Friday that a boss can fire an employee he considers an "irresistible attraction," even if the employee has done nothing wrong.
The decision is the first in Iowa, but in line with rulings elsewhere.
Justices rejected a discrimination lawsuit filed by Melissa Nelson, who was fired by Fort Dodge dentist James Knight in 2010.
Nelson had worked in Knight's office for 10 years. She and Knight eventually started texting outside work about personal matters. Knight's wife, who also worked at the office, found out and demanded Nelson's firing.
Knight's lawyer says the court's decision is "in favor of family values."
Supreme Court Allows For New Trial For Muscatine Man
MUSCATINE, Iowa (AP) - The Iowa Supreme Court has granted a Muscatine man a new trial on charges of sexually abusing a child.
The high court decided Friday that Robert Howard will get a new trial because a detective gave the 22-year-old an improper promise of leniency for his confession.
Howard confessed in 2010 to sexually abusing his girlfriend's 17-month-old son. A jury later found him guilty of second-degree sexual abuse and child endangerment. An appeals court later affirmed the conviction and 25-year prison sentence.
A district court denied Howard's motion to have the confession suppressed during his trial. The court's ruling now says the detective's actions made the confession inadmissible.

Human Molecular Genetics
Genetic factors play an important role in the etiology of late-onset Alzheimer's disease (LOAD). We tested gene-centric single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) on chromosome 9 and identified two SNPs in the death-associated protein kinase, DAPK1, that show significant association with LOAD. SNP rs4878104 was significantly associated with LOAD in our discovery case-control sample set (WU) and replicated in each of two initial validation case-control sample sets (P<0.05, UK1, SD). The risk-allele frequency of this SNP showed a similar direction in three other case-control sample sets. A meta-analysis of the six sample sets combined, totaling 2012 cases and 2336 controls, showed an allelic P-value of 0.0016 and an odds ratio (OR) of 0.87 (95%CI: 0.79-0.95). Minor allele homozygotes had a consistently lower risk than major allele homozygotes in the discovery and initial two replication sample sets, which remained significant in the meta-analysis of all six sample sets (OR=0.7, 95%CI: 0.58-0.85), whereas the risk for heterozygous subjects was not significantly different from that of major allele homozygotes. A second SNP, rs4877365, which is in high linkage disequilibrium with rs4878104 (r2=0.64), was also significantly associated with LOAD (meta P=0.0017 in the initial three sample sets). Furthermore, DAPK1 transcripts show differential allelic gene expression, and both rs4878104 and rs4877365 were significantly associated with DAPK1 allele-specific expression (P=0.015 to <0.0001). These data suggest that genetic variation in DAPK1 modulates susceptibility to LOAD.

Pulse Daily News for Thursday, March 8
Wednesday Highlights
Pulse Day 3 Focuses on Innovation!
Wednesday's general session was all about future innovation. After a fun introductory video highlighting IBM Research's "5 in 5", host Scott Hebner introduced Erich Clementi, Senior Vice President of IBM Global Technology Services, who outlined how the delivery of IT Services will evolve with cloud in support of Smarter Computing. Noting that cloud consumption requires a very different delivery model. It helps define the IT role in a new way—helping to integrate and aggregate services in order to optimize service delivery and business outcomes. Helene Armitage, General Manager of Systems Software for the IBM Systems and Technology Group, discussed the factors that are influencing system design for a smarter planet, including the consumerization of IT and data without limits.
Next, Manoj Saxena described the impact that IBM Watson will have on helping to solve some of the world's most daunting challenges. He outlined some of the history of Watson, and shared how IBM is putting Watson to work to solve industry challenges by leveraging unprecedented analytics. Watson, he said, is an enabler of the smarter planet vision--managing vast amounts of unstructured data and delivered as a cloud-based service.
The session ended with an engaging keynote conversation between special guest speaker Steve Wozniak and IBM's own Grady Booch. In this informal, fun discussion Woz shared anecdotes about everything from his early days with Steve Jobs, his commitment to education, the importance of product marketing, and the keys to happiness. It's worth watching.

For the past few years, IBM has been sending camera crews around the world to record as much as we can at our events. At some of the larger events, we also stream some of our sessions and interviews live. This is a key component of events today, in that it opens up the event to a much larger audience. Hint, hint.
For the first time, we are streaming live from Pulse Comes to You in London next week on May 30. The event will be attended by over 400 IBM clients and business partners, but we can expand that audience to virtually as many that want to be the first to hear our news next Wednesday. If you are still sleeping while we stream in real time, you can watch the replay while you have your morning coffee.
And if after reading the rest of this post you think my new professional assignment is the consequence of bad spelling, you might be right I'm just getting ready to ride in a car on the wrong side of the road.
Here's what's on the agenda:
Key Note 1: Optimising the World's Infrastructure Jamie Thomas, Vice President of Tivoli Strategy and Development. Jamie will discuss the critical role of technology in unleashing innovation, including cloud, mobile enterprises, smarter physical infrastructures and security.
Key Note 2: Independent Analyst view of Service Management & Security Will Cappelli, Gartner
Key Note 3: IBM Watson goes to Work Dale Lane, Software Developer – DeepQA (Watson), Emerging Technologies. Dale will talk about the work that has been done to apply Watson's technological breakthroughs to real-world problems, as well as some of the plans for Watson's future.

To the editor:
I�m an avid news reader and keep abreast of current events and also read the many gripes associated with the political arena. What I find rather ironic is all the gripes, complaints and �what I would do if�s� seem to come from people who, for whatever reason, don�t seem to have a clue how our government is even supposed to work.
My favorite complaint: �It�s all Obama�s fault!� Really? Nothing was passed by the House of Representatives or the Senate? The man declared martial law and declared himself emperor and is, therefore, free to make all decisions on his own? When did this happen? Did I take an extended nap and miss this event?
�Obama-care� (the Affordable Care Act) is evil and will destroy America. That�s why the conservatives hate it so much. It�s already destroying America.
Horse puckey. We haven�t a clue how it will affect us since it wasn�t effective until Oct. 1. As for it being evil, well, the Heritage Foundation was the one that laid the foundation for it; yes, a Republican think tank.
Nothing in the bill states everything is set in stone forever and ever and can never be changed, eliminated or improved upon.
If it�s broke, fix it; but you can�t say it�s broken until it has been test driven can you?
I�ll also note the same law hasn�t destroyed Massachusetts as of yet.
Obama and his failures: Interesting one that. What failures? The man can�t even turn around without the House filibustering it. If he isn�t permitted to do anything, how can he be a failure at anything?
Something else I also find ironic: It would be exceptionally hard to find one single person who states they trust our government, yet when a government representative speaks, people are trusting enough to believe each and every word that comes from their mouth. Not once will they expend an ounce of effort to check and see if what they are reading or hearing is a true and valid statement from any representative from any party.
It�s all a bit of irony for me.
I�ll be leaving now with a quote from one of America�s greatest writers, Mark Twain. �It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open one�s mouth and remove all doubt.�

Scammers, Not Soldiers: Romance Cons on the Rise
Each year, a disturbing number of women fall victim to fraudsters posing as U.S. servicemen. These con artists woo them long-distance for months, then ask for cash. "A couple of years ago we were getting hundreds of calls a year about this scam," says Christopher Grey of the Army Criminal Investigation Command. "Now we get thousands."

Scotch FB
De Vinne credits Samuel Nelson Dickinson with "modelling" the first Scotch in Boston in 1837, a design which he had cut by Alexander Wilson in Glasgow. In 1839, Dickinson opened his foundry with the matrices. Scotch has always been more popular in the US than in Great Britain. Working from original Scotch and W.A. Dwiggins' Caledonia, David Berlow relighted the American tradition with this brilliant text face for Newsweek; FB 1993
Among other uses, Scotch FB is recommended for Newspaper, Magazine, Book and Corporate use.

Instead of having Outlook on their PC's, they all terminal into one Microsoft Server and use Outlook directly on the server. Has anyone run Outlook Connector on a setup like this so each user has their own sync with Zimbra yet is independent from one another? Sounds like a strange setup to me.

While a bright sunny day can lift our spirits and improve our outlook, it can also have a harmful impact on our skin. In fact, nearly 90 percent of all skin changes, such as wrinkles and age spots, are directly related to sun exposure. Ultraviolet rays lurking in sunlight also contribute to skin cancers; about 90 percent of all forms of deadly melanoma skin cancer are caused by UV rays. Fortunately, you don't have to hide from the sun to protect your skin and your health from its effects. The Jurlique In Sun collection was formulated to protect your skin and reduce the risk for skin cancer.
Containing natural ingredients, the products in the Jurlique In Sun range do not use dangerous chemicals to filter out harmful ultraviolet. Despite their gentle formulations, the items in the Jurlique In Sun range are still long-lasting and highly effective at preventing sunburn and skin damage during your outdoor activities. Rely on the Jurlique In Sun collection to shield you from ultraviolet, so that you can focus on enjoying your day in the sun.
Limiting your exposure to the sun's harmful ultraviolet rays is one of the most beneficial things that you can do for your skin. By applying products from the Jurlique In Sun range daily, you can reduce your risk for skin cancers that are caused by cellular mutations spurred by sunlight. The products also nourish and moisturize the skin, while reducing the symptoms associated with premature aging caused by UV rays.
Jurlique Sun Lotion SPF 30+ is the perfect daily solution to protect your skin from the harmful effects of the sun. The sunscreen provides broad-spectrum protection, meaning that it is effective against both UVA and UVB sun rays. The secret to its UV fighting is a blend of ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate, oxybenzone and titantium dioxide.
The benefits of Jurlique Sun Lotion do not end with sun protection. The formula also features a healthy dose of vitamin E, a nutrient that has long been praised for its ability to improve skin elasticity and tone while battling the impurities that cause premature aging. Avocado, jojoba oil and glycerin in the sunscreen restore moisture levels in the skin, which can plummet due to sun exposure.
Lightweight and never greasy, the Jurlique Sun Lotion does not clog your pores or add shine to your complexion. The lotion is easy to apply and takes only 15 minutes to reach its maximum effectiveness, which lasts for up to six hours. Due to its natural formulation, the lotions is safe to use on children and infants over 6 months of age.

I know I could abandon the Zimbra client and add the Zimbra email account in Outlook, but Zimbra does not seem to play very well with other Exchange accounts, so I would prefer not to do that.

AMES, Iowa -- More than 40
"As I grew up, learning about Dr. King and what he meant was a gradual process,"
The crowd included a large contingent of elementary school students who also participated in the event, which was sponsored by the Iowa State athletics department, Alpha Phi Alpha, Ames Community Schools, Ames Human Relations Commission, Boys and Girls Club of Ames, Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Inc., the ISU Government of the Student Body, ISU MLK Planning Committee and ISU Office of the Provost. United Way of Story County, Youth and Shelter Services and YWCA Ames-ISU played a major role in the celebration.
During the celebration, several members from an
"When we started planning for this night, we first were looking at doing something solely about Jack Trice," SAAC president Jenny Mockler said. "But as we talked about it we wanted to do something to demonstrate how African-Americans and people of all races had done great things in all of our sports."
Among those recognized by other ISU athletes were former Cyclone head wrestling coach Bobby Douglas, the first African-American to represent the
For Messiah, there is a clear link between what he had learned about Martin Luther King and sharing the accomplishments of those who had broken race barriers in sport.
"I think they match up really well,' Messiah said. "It is a chance to help others better understand what Martin Luther King stood for and how others broke through the barriers he had worked to break. If you can help a young person better understand the great successes of those who stood up for what they believed in, you have done something good. Jack Trice stood for those things and it went beyond football. He wanted to help others do what he had done."
The night's emcee, YWCA board member and director of diversity for the ISU Government of the Student Body (GSB) Rohini Ramnath agreed with Messiah.
"(The student-athletes) helped others tonight, especially the younger people, conceptualize what we were celebrating tonight," Ramnath said.

Chrome Application Process - All That Glitters Isn't GoldWritten by on August 1, 2010 Contributors: Ryan Manson What It Takes To Get Perfect Chrome
No matter what the styling may be, bare bones to high tech, two things that set one street rod apart from another are detailing and workmanship. Few things add to the detailing of a car like chrome, but just like the other visual aspects, like paint and upholstery, the workmanship of plating varies. To find out what it takes to make it great, we visited Sherm's Plating and went through the process from beginning to end.
Chrome is applied by a process called electroplating, which uses an anode, a cathode, and a liquid bath of the material used for plating. The simple explanation of the process is electrical current flowing from the anode carries dissolved metal in the solution where it is applied to the surface of the cathode, or the part being plated. But while that sounds simple, in reality the plating process is a complicated chemical process that requires expensive equipment, constant monitoring of solution strengths and temperatures, not to mention strict adherence to a long list of safety and health standards. Sherm's is a zero-discharge facility, which means they have invested in, among other things, an ion exchange unit that continuously circulates and purifies processed water, making it cleaner than what comes out of the tap.
Although all chrome shops use the same basic plating process, the process of how parts are prepped has a huge impact on the finished product. Art Holman of Sherm's compares chrome plating to a paintjob-in both cases the finished product is only as smooth as the surface below, and the smoother the surface the more reflective it will be. And like a paintjob, the prep work for chrome is the time-consuming, and consequently, expensive part of the process.
When parts come into Sherm's for plating they are cataloged and inspected. Previously chromed parts are stripped and all parts are mechanically and chemically cleaned. Next, the visible surfaces of the part are smoothed to remove any imperfections. If necessary, some filling is done-lead is normally used for cosmetic fixes while structural repairs call for welding with the base material.
With the prep work done, the next step in plating is the copper coat, which is like primer for paint. In some cases several coats of copper will be applied and smoothed to make the surface perfect. On many early cars, cast pot metal trim parts were used, which often require special preparation before plating. Pot metal is made from a variety of materials, including zinc, which has a low boiling point. Consequently, during the casting and subsequent cooling process, air bubbles can be trapped in the part, which ultimately leads to corrosion and blisters in the chrome plating. The only way to repair a blistered pot metal part is to strip it, clean out the pit to get rid of the corrosion, then make the surface level using solder as a filler. However, there's a catch: lead won't adhere to pot metal, so the part is given a thin coat of brass. Although solder will stick to copper, there is a compelling reason for using brass. Intricate, ornate design work is often incorporated onto the surface of these cast pieces and, compared to copper, a much thinner coat of brass can be applied to the piece, so even the most delicate details can be preserved.
To use the paint analogy once more, after the part to be chromed is smooth and straight the color coat is applied, and in the plating process that means a coat of nickel. Nickel provides the smooth, shiny reflective surface, but left unprotected it will tarnish. Like the clearcoat on paint, to protect the nickel, the final step in the plating procedure is an application of chrome. Surprisingly, this is the least time-consuming step of all the processes, taking only a few minutes in most cases. But that doesn't mean there aren't some tricks involved. Depending on the shape of the piece being plated there may be high- and low-density areas-that means areas that are prominent are high density and will attract more current and consequently a thicker layer of chrome, areas like concaves are low density and won't receive as thick of a deposit. The cure for this is experience and specialized equipment, and Sherm's has both.
When it comes to detailing, nothing compares to the sparkle of chrome. It adds depth, dimension, and a rich look unmatched by any other finish. But just like a great paintjob, every step in the plating process impacts the final product. Thanks to the crew at Sherm's for showing what it takes to produce perfect plating.
Not all that Shines is Chrome
Another type of bright work that Sherm's can work magic on is stainless steel. Much of the trim on the cars we know and love is made from stainless. And while there is no plating required, it's not unusual for stainless parts to suffer dings and dents or worse, fortunately stainless is tough stuff that can often be saved.
Much like bodywork, the procedure to repair damaged stainless is to use carefully wielded hammers and dollies (in some cases silver solder is used to repair rips and tears), which is followed by careful sanding and buffing. The end results are parts that are good as new and shine like chrome.

To ensure nothing is lost, parts sent to Sherm's are checked in by Kelly Wiley, who not only compiles a written inventory but makes a photographic record as well.Sherm's facility is spotless and has the most up-to-date equipment available for producing the finest plating possible while meeting all applicable environmental guidelines.It's not uncommon for thin, plated parts like grille bars to require some repair work. In this case a crack is being V'd before welding.Flux-coated silver solder is used to make the repair. It requires patience and skill to weld material this thin. It's seldom wise to try and save money by making such repairs yourself.The finished repair is hard to detect. After a coat of copper and buffing it will disappear completely.Pot metal parts often have blisters caused by corrosion under the chrome. The only way to fix it is to drill it out then fill the hole with solder.To give the solder something to hold tight to, while not filling in any detail in the part, a thin coat of brass is applied.
Often overlooked, plating adds thickness that can impact the fit of a multi-piece part. Making this joint fit properly is the kind of attention to detail Sherm's is known for.After copper plating, the part is buffed. Here Dave Dougherty buffs a copper-plated cast-aluminum Cadillac bumper.Art Holman demonstrates how to make chromed parts perfect. Making the surface flat makes it more reflective-copper is used as filler, then the surface is block-sanded until all the highs and lows are eliminated.Once the nickel-plated part is prepped, it goes into the chrome tank. One of the tricks of the trade is to use a wand to direct current to low-density areas to ensure adequate material thickness.
Unlike bodywork there's no filler of any kind used in fixing stainless, so the quality of the finished product comes down to metalworking skills.Once the dents and dings are removed, a variety of buffing wheels and compounds are used to polish the trim.

Morgan State Remains Winless after Home Loss to Norfolk State
The Morgan State Bears fell to 0-5, its worst football record in recent history, after losing, 27-21 to fellow Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) member Norfolk State (1-4 record) on Sept. 28 at Hughes Stadium in Baltimore, Md.
The Bears were hoping their first home game of the season would help motivate them to capture their first win of the season. Instead, it was sloppy play and costly turnovers that plagued Morgan State in front of its home crowd.
Morgan State turned the ball over from the very start of the game as freshman running back Herb Walker Jr. fumbled on the very first offensive possession of the game. The Bears then had a 23-yard field goal attempt blocked on their second offensive possession of the game, and junior quarterback Seth Higgins was later picked off twice in the fourth quarter, including an interception on the final play of the game that ended Morgan State's chance at a late comeback.
"You can't turn the ball over and beat good or bad teams," said Morgan State head coach Donald Hill-Eley. "You've got to possess the football and continue to just find plays to get points to make some morale and excitement on that side of the ball."
In between all of the turnovers, Morgan State also committed several untimely penalties that helped Norfolk State build a comfortable lead that the Bears simply couldn't overcome.
"We're doing things to hurt ourselves," Bears junior linebacker Cody Acker said. "It's not what the other teams are doing to us. We're out there getting personal fouls and things of that nature, letting it dictate how we're playing on the field and it shouldn't happen like that."
Higgins scored all three of Morgan State's touchdowns, two touchdowns scored by running; he finished with 63 yards rushing and 83 yards passing.
Sophomore quarterback Tyler Clark led Norfolk State, completing 18-of-28 passes for 125 yards and two touchdowns. Spartans sophomore running back Brendon Riddick ran for a game-high 70 yards on 17 carries.
Next-up: Morgan State will host Florida A&M during the Morgan homecoming weekend on Oct. 5 at Hughes Stadium.

Bone is living tissue that provides shape and support for the body, as well as protection for some organs. Bone also serves as a storage site for minerals and provides the medium – marrow – for the development and storage of blood cells.
Because the functions of bone are numerous and complex, many disorders require clinical care by a physician or other health care professional. These conditions include benign (noncancerous) disorders, cancers that occur in bone, and cancers that affect bone.

Eddie Murphy's best story about his early success has been told in various forms, but this is my personal favorite.
Murphy, of course, became a sensation in the early '80s as a cast member on Saturday Night Live and with his frenetically urban stand-up act. He then showed his power as a box-office draw with 48 Hours, Trading Places and Beverly Hills Cop. In 1984, Murphy combined his two greatest assets — his viscerally funny stand-up act and his undeniable film presence — into his first concert movie, the well-received Delirious.
After the film's release, Murphy got a call from Bill Cosby, one of his comedy idols, who chastised Murphy for his incessant use of foul language and cautioned him that his career would be short-lived if he continued to work "blue." "Blue" as a comedy term reportedly dates to vaudeville's Keith circuit and club managers' practice of censoring comedians by informing them via blue envelopes of objectionable material that had to be removed from their acts (all of which dates further back to the Puritans' Blue Laws, a moral code that was printed on blue-tinted paper).
Murphy was devastated by Cosby's scolding and called his friend and raunchy comedy mentor Richard Pryor to get his take on the situation. After hearing Murphy's tale, Pryor, referencing one of Cosby's ubiquitous commercial endorsements of the time, responded, "Tell that motherfucker to have a Coke and a smile."
Murphy's act, Cosby's reaction and Pryor's response to Cosby's reaction is a passion play that has been re-enacted in the comedy world since Lenny Bruce paved the way for shockingly honest humor with his obscenity conviction in 1964. In the nearly half century since then, comedians have found massive success by finding their niche on either end of the spectrum (Brian Regan, Greg Hahn on the clean side; Louis CK, Lisa Lampanelli on the dirty) or deftly straddling the boundary between family friendly and fucking filthy (the late George Carlin and Patton Oswalt spring to mind).
Two current examples of the clean/dirty paradigm are the wildly funny and relatively chaste Jim Gaffigan and the equally hilarious and breathtakingly profane Doug Stanhope.
On Gaffigan's August-released eighth album, Mr. Universe (the concert video of which is currently available to view on Gaffigan's website for $5),
the hue-challenged honcho of hilarity follows his standard operating
procedure of turning a slightly jaundiced and definitely twisted eye
toward life's mundanities and finding the unlikeliest of laughs. He
mines a natural vein of humor from the fact that he has four children,
but in ways that Bill Cosby probably never imagined ("Four kids … if you
want to know what it's like to have a fourth, just imagine you're
drowning and then someone hands you a baby" or "I have more pictures of
my children than my father ever looked at me").
And Gaffigan is a genius at finding the funny in food; his love of bacon is renowned, as evidenced by his lengthy discourse on 2009's uproarious King Baby, but on Mr. Universe, Gaffigan gets both McDonald's and Subway in his crosshairs, with the former actually earning a measure of praise and the latter obtaining a fairly thorough thrashing — "I think the toppings are free to distract us from the fact that we shouldn't be paying for the meat. They're so stingy with that nasty ass meat at Subway, they peel it off like it's from a wad of ones or something. 'Here's three slices of ham, get yourself something nice' " and "What level of delusion are we in where we view a meatball sub as a healthy alternative to a hamburger? How do you make a meatball sub? You roll five hamburgers into balls, cover them in cheese and put them on a bun that holds five hamburgers. Eat fresh."
Like the best observational comics, Gaffigan's genius lies in amplifying standard issue eccentricity to an unbearably odd level — like wondering how long one should retain a sock after losing its mate, then admitting he has 80 single socks. Gaffigan further caricaturizes his comedic persona by using a variety of vocal inflections and accents that range from hilarious to slightly grating; he has long used a whispered falsetto as a device to anticipate audience criticism and now he even works imagined criticism of the voice itself into his set.
While Gaffigan will often will drop a mild obscenity or two into the proceedings ("Scarlett Johanssen got a haircut, why do I give a shit?"), Mr. Universe, like the bulk of Gaffigan's catalog, easily translates to midday or late night television talk shows.
Doug Stanhope is a completely different kettle of filthy fish. His just-released new CD/DVD package, Before Turning the Gun on Himself, is predictably rife with the abusively frank language for which Stanhope is famous. Before Turning the Gun is so caustically themed that one might consider donning a hazmat suit before pressing "play." It also happens to be one of the drop-dead funniest comedy sets of the year.
Stanhope wastes little time setting up the first portion of Gun, which is essentially a rolling rant about the industry of treating addiction, his primary targets being Dr. Drew Pinsky and AA. The album's second piece is titled "Dr. Drew is to Medicine What David Blaine is to Science."
Being agnostic, Stanhope finds the God-based 12-step programs associated with AA and many rehab programs to be less than satisfactory. On the album he rants, "Even your religious friends do not want to hear about God during a medical diagnosis. That's the last word you ever want to hear from a doctor — 'Doc, my fucking lymph nodes are swollen out of my neck, I look like a bullfrog, I'm shitting blood with clumps in it, I can't keep food down.' 'Ooh, sounds like someone needs a higher power.' 'Can't we do some blood work first? A series of antibiotics? A CAT scan?' 'Nope, get on your knees and pray, faggot.' 'You're a doctor?' 'Yup, and I'm on TV, too.' AA makes Scientology look credible."
Stanhope even insists at one point that "there's no such thing as addiction, on the most minor levels … there's only things that you enjoy doing more than life."
Stanhope really gets going on the subject of people bitching about the economy or their simple dissatisfaction with the place they live. On "Just Move," he rightly notes that it only requires a bus ticket to change your surroundings and recounts hearing an autoworker in Flint, Mich., complaining about Obamanomics making it impossible to earn a living.
"You make cars and you still don't leave," Stanhope observes. "That's like being a prisoner forced to make keys to your own cell for a living and you never put two and two together. Just move to where there's work."
He continues that line of thought on "Simple Man," where he compares having children to a bad bet and hacks on the Flint autoworker by again rightly noting, "I don't think the economy is a new problem here; I think Roger and Me came out in like 1986, yet you're bitching about Obamanomics exporting jobs."
Stanhope gets hellbound rough on "Keynesian Economic Theory as Applied to Private Sector Independent Contractors," where he advances the idea that prostitutes fare the worst in tough times since they're already doing degrading things for money, and that a hooker's concession to recession would be to offer anal services to her clientele.
What follows is a nauseating and heart-stoppingly hilarious roller coaster ride of sexual references from Stanhope and his fictional streetwalker, featuring such phrases as "sour milk-smelling cock," "gravelly good morning Starbucks shit" and "ass kegels." In alluding to anal sex, Stanhope (through his whore character) uses the euphemism "shit pussy" or "ass pussy" no less than six times in two minutes before breaking into an erudite refutation of Keynesian economic theory. It's breathtaking, really.
Elsewhere, Stanhope advocates registering as a sex offender to avoid having your friends bring their children to your parties, describes his favorite medicinal past-time ("Sometimes I'll take two Xanax and two laxatives at bedtime and I'll play chicken in my sleep. It's like three highs at once, because it starts out as a downer, turns into gambling, wakes up as a huge amphetamine") and gives a brilliant example of his perception of the laziness of songwriters, describing some self-righteous artistic types as "a bucket of cunts."
If you've got a sturdy callous built up on your indignation bone, Stanhope is one of the funniest and most incisive stand-ups around. And if you are easily offended, Stanhope has a ready answer for your thin skin.
Well before admitting that "the most terrifying part, when you realize I'm not even a bright person, but I'm still probably in the top three percent of the smartest people on this planet, and I'm pretty fucking dumb," he defends his use of any and all offensive language by describing it simply (and accurately) as "a sound you make with your mouth" and further posits "if you're offended by any word in any language, it's probably because your parents were unfit to raise a child."
This explanation, which gets even better, by the way, is placed in the context of a bit Stanhope titled "Giant Black Cock." This is one funny motherfucker.
So what conclusion can we draw from the above compare/contrast critique? Perhaps it's that people who are easily offended would be advised to stick to the likes of Jim Gaffigan and avoid Doug Stanhope like an atomically mutated STD. But it might also be that funny is funny, regardless of how many prurient phrases and ideas are peppered throughout its presentation. People who like dirty as well as clean humor are laughing twice as much as you straight-backed chucklefucks with rancid pickles jammed sideways up your twats.
I think maybe that's the point.
Covington's Carnegie Center presents its sixth annual Art of Food show, opening tonight. As you might've guessed, this art exhibit is centered around all things edible. The reception features beautiful culinary creations (that you can actually eat) by everyone from BonBonnerie to La Poste, Queen City Cookies to Taste of Belgium. Admission is a little steep ($60 at the door for non-members), but you'll leave with your left brain and stomach both very satisfied. Admission after the reception is free. Get details here.
The opening reception kicks off at 8 p.m. In addition to checking out the artwork, electronic musician/wizard Dan Deacon will perform 8-9 p.m. If you haven't heard of him, here's a preview:
If you didn't score tickets to tonight's sold out Black Keys show, there are plenty of other music options.

I love video games. Always have, always will. I grew up watching Mario stomp koopas, Link slay moblins and Kirby inhale enemies to copy their powers. Games will always have a special place in my heart.
As much as I like the classics and the stuff being released by the big name companies, however, recently my attention's been diverted to a select few independent companies and developers. People say these past few recent years have been some of the best times for indie developers to get into the gaming market, and, frankly, I agree with them. As of late the indie game market's really been booming, and it's no wonder why. There are some really great indie games out there to find if one knows where to look. And unlike pricey console games, many of these independently developed games can be downloaded onto your computer for as low as $20, $10 or even $5.
Given, these games might not have the newest, most-cutting edge graphics, and might be relatively simple when compared to some of the things we see Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft releasing. However, that doesn't change the fact that they are good games nonetheless. And many gamers seem to agree with me.
One shining example of an indie game that's risen from obscurity is Dokutsu Monogatari, better known by is Americanized name, Cave Story. The game was originally made as a freeware 2D platform-adventure game by independent developer Daisuke Amaya (art-name "Pixel") in 2004. He developed the game in his spare time, intending it to be a tribute to classic popular titles he had played in his youth, such as Castlevania and Metroid.
After it's initial release on the Internet, Cave Story slowly gained popularity as a indie game, and was praised by many gamers for its compelling story and gameplay. Fans of the game eventually developed an English translation, spreading the game even further.
Later on, Nicalis, an independent video game company, worked with Amaya to bring an updated version of Cave Story with new modes of gameplay and improved graphics to Nintendo's WiiWare service in 2010.
Since then the popularity of Cave Story has skyrocketed, leading Nicalis to work with Nintendo to bring yet another updated version of the game to the Nintendo 3DS under the title of Cave Story 3D.
And Cave Story is just one of the many success stories told about independently developed games these days. Several other popular titles have risen from the depths of obscurity to become commonly known titles to gamers everywhere: Minecraft, Super Meat Boy and Angry Birds just to name a few.
Unfortunately, there are also risks involved for gamers who chose to invest their money in independent games. A method many indie developers seem to be taking recently is releasing a "beta-version" of their game over platforms such as Steam for a low price, with the promise of free updates as the game is further developed. A prime example of one such game is Re-Logic's Terraria, a 2D "sandbox" game featuring exploration, crafting, resource gathering, and combat with a variety of different creatures.
Upon its initial release in January 2011, Terraria's sales boomed. Over 1 million copies of the game were sold, gamers being drawn in both by the unique style of gameplay and the prospect of future updates to the game. Head developer of the game, Andrew Spinks, made regular posts about planned features to the game in his blog, keeping the community informed about what they could expect in future updates.
Upon Terraria's version 1.1.2 update, which included new enemies, biomes, resources and a slew of new items to be discovered and crafted, popularity of the game boomed even more, resulting in the game being named as the No. 1 of 2011's Indie of the Year Player's choice.
Unfortunately for fans, Spinks suddenly decided to halt production of Terrarria, announcing in his blog on Feb. 21 that there would be no further updates to the games despite the fact that the several planned features that had been announced in his blog. Many members of Terraria's online community protested, feeling that the game had been cut down in its prime, and had yet to reach its full potential.
Sadly, however, this seems to be a route that many independent game companies take. Several indie games seem to be halted before they are considered to be "finished." Lacking the resources that larger game companies have, independent developers either run out of money for production, or simply become burned out, no longer having the time or interest to continue working on their projects. It's disappointing for the fans who pay to play these games in the early stages of development, however, it's also a risk people take when they decide to play independent games.
Is it enough to scare people away from the indie game market? Certainly not, as there are still many gems out there to be found if one is willing to spend the time and money. Indie gaming is on the rise. And things can only get better as time goes on.
It was announced today that Actor/Director/Humanitarean/Total Heartthrob Jeff Spicoli Sean Penn is receiving the 2012 Joel Siegel Award at the 17th Annual Critics Choice Movie Awards on Jan. 12 for the relief work he has done in Haiti. This will be only the fifth Joel Siegel Award given by the BFCA, and dedicated "to those who understand, as Joel did, that the greatest value of celebrity is as an enhanced platform to do good works for others."
"While it was heartening to see such an outpouring of support and aid for the Haitian people in the immediate aftermath of the tragedy, the long-term commitment made by Sean and his organization is particularly notable," said BFCA president Joey Berlin.
It turns out that an alleged old Radiohead demo called "Putting Ketchup in the Fridge" is actually called "Sit Still" and not by Radiohead at all. It's by Toronto bakery owner Christopher Stopa. "As nice as it is, because I like Radiohead, and on some technical level it means I sang [the song] well, I don't really want to be known as the person that was mistaken [for] Radiohead," Stopa said in an interview with the Torontoist.

They say you only roast the ones you love, but what can be said about someone with few redeemable qualities, who's essentially spent the past year roasting himself in the media? Quite a bit, apparently.

With the 68th Map of the Week finds we remain in the borderlands town of Óðinn's House in the Kingdom of Slovania. This week we take a look at the Trailsend Inn.
Innkeeper and owner Petr, a 51-year-old human male merchant, welcomes customers from all walks of life including adventurers. He also makes a point of hiring only waitresses who do after-hours business, a practice that has given the Trailsend a bit of a shady reputation but one that hasn't hurt business. The inn consists of a brewhouse and a three-story main building. The cellar is a storage area. The public room, the kitchen and the apartments of Petr's mother and sister are on the ground floor. Guest rooms are on the second and third stories. Peter's apartment is on the second story. The apartments of his two waitresses are on the top floor. Accomodations and furnishings are simple but functional. The inn is comfortable but it shows no signs of luxury. The 10 single rooms cost 6 bronze pieces per night. The three doubles cost five bronze pieces per person nightly. The two suites cost five gold pieces per week. The public room serves breakfast to house guests, but it remains closed during the day. It opens from 17 bells (5 p.m.) to midnight seven days a week. Drinks are limited to the house lager beer at 5 copper pieces per quart/liter tankard (pints are not served) and spirits from the Royal Distillery in Novýdomov at 1 to 6 bronze pieces per shot/0.1 liter glas.

Anytime Mike Rutherford buckles into a Micro-Sprint at Lanco's Clyde Martin Memorial Speedway, he's a threat to win. Throw in the added incentive of a big race that boasts a nice payout, such as last weekend's Labor Day Shootout, and it's a sure bet that Rutherford will bring his A-game to the eighth-mile, high banked oval.
The Newmanstown, Pa. wheel-twister really enjoyed the holiday weekend, padding his bank account by $2,000 by winning the 600cc and 270cc main events during Lanco's annual two-day Shootout. The 600cc victory was Rutherford's fifth in the past six years in this lucrative and prestigious event, while his triumph in the 270cc A-Main was produced by a late race pass for the lead.
Joining Rutherford in the Giorgio Foods/ Hyper Racing winner's circle on Sunday were Jesse Maurer (125cc); Jason Swavely (Sportsman); Richie Hartman (250cc Four-Stroke); and Jake Allen (250cc Stock).
The six Micro-Sprint classes overflowed the Clyde's pit area with 183 cars when practice and qualifying began on Saturday. The 270cc class led the way with 53 cars, while 48 of the 600's entered the Shootout.
Chris Gerhart, driving Mike Dicely's No. 44 for the weekend, tallied more qualifying points than anyone else in the dual heat race format on Saturday, thereby earning the right to start the Giorgio Foods/Hyper Racing 600cc A-Main from the pole position.
The drama began with the initial green, as a three-wide gamble turned into contact and a spin by Gerhart, with the rest of the field scrambling to avoid him. The incident put Shane Braxton on the pole, and Braxton immediately jumped into the race lead over Rutherford and fourth-starting Robbie Kendall.
With one lap scored, Rutherford nudged his PACE Chassis No. 6 alongside Braxton. For the next nine tours, the duo ran side-by-side and wheel-to-wheel, until a yellow flag interrupted the terrific duel for the top spot. As the green reappeared, Rutherford finally coaxed his car by Braxton and into the lead, with Kendall initiating an assault on Braxton for the runner-up position.
Kendall wrestled the spot from Braxton in turns one and two, and Braxton tried to return the favor in three and four. Diving under Kendall as they entered the corner, Braxton and the Catonsville, MD chauffeur got together, resulting in a snap-roll by Braxton and a 360-degree spin by Kendall, who somehow managed to grab a lower gear and continue without stopping.
Rutherford continued to set the pace as Kendall fought with Jeff Halligan for second. Halligan snared the position from Kendall with six to go, then closed on Rutherford but could not offer a serious challenge before he ran out of time.
At the checkered, it was Rutherford, Halligan, Kendall, Mark Ludwig, and A.J. Michael who comprised the top five.
"On Friday night, I spent about an hour on the phone with Scott from PACE Chassis. He gave me a lot of suggestions to try on the car, and it really made a big difference this weekend," explained Rutherford in his victory lane interview.
Rutherford's other 600cc Shootout victories occurred in 2005, '06, '07, and '08.
Richie Hartman forced Rutherford to work even harder to get the 270cc triumph. Starting from the inside of row one, Hartman set the pace for 28 of the 30 laps.
With Hartman holding Rutherford at bay, a ferocious battle ensued for third between Jesse Maurer, Angleo Mercado, Nick Skias, and Jason Swavely. Skias eventually secured the spot and went after Rutherford, while Maurer, Mercado, Swavely, and Dave Grube continued the battle royale for third position. Grube steadily maneuvered his way past his competitors, including Skias, to run third behind Hartman and Rutherford.
With six laps remaining, Mercado's No. 3 slowed suddenly on the homestretch, the victim of mechanical problems. Devin Harron, running in the middle of the pack, found himself pinched against the outside guardrail with Mercado's ailing Micro directly in front of him. Harron went up and over Mercado's wheels, launching into a scary series of end-over-end tumbles, then barrel-rolling across the track. Harron suffered two cuts to his legs and an assortment of bumps and bruises, but was otherwise okay.
The race was red flagged at that point, and the stoppage provided an opportunity for Rutherford to make some adjustments to the Kaylor Distributing/ Hyper Racing No. 5k. Those adjustments ultimately altered the outcome of the race, as Rutherford was able to stick down low on the restart.
"Richie got into the infield tires a little bit in three and four, and that shot him up the track just enough so I could get under him in one and two. That red flag allowed me to make the adjustments we needed; I probably wouldn't have gotten him without the red," noted Rutherford.
The winning pass - as described above - took place on lap 29. Rutherford flew under the checkered flag by almost a half-second over Hartman, with Grube chasing them to the stripe. Maurer and Pete Skias completed the top five.
Jesse Maurer won his third Shootout in the last four years in the 125cc class, and a perfectly timed caution aided him in his drive to victory.
Maurer hounded race leader Shane Braxton for several circuits, finally shoving the nose of his No. 21 a few feet in front of Braxton as they crossed the line to complete lap 12. As the pair charged into turn one, the yellow was displayed, and Maurer was scored as the race leader. He cruised to a big advantage after that, as Braxton, Phil Durham, Evan Krautwald, Tim Colbert, and Bret Habecker engaged in an entertaining battle behind him. But the race wasn't over yet...
Braxton's solid run ended as he broke on the final trip around the clay. The yellow flag had to be thrown, setting up a one lap dash between Maurer and Durham. "When I saw the yellow and the number 32 in second, I thought 'oh no' because I know how good Durham is," said a relieved Maurer afterward.
No worries for the Mount Joy Outlaw, though, as Maurer held his ground on the restart and beat Durham to the finish line by eight-tenths of a second.
Habecker, Colbert, and Krautwald finished third through fifth.
Jason Swavely started on the pole of the Sportsman A-Main, and he remained in front for all 30 laps. During the early stages of the race, Swavely had teammate Ken Miller nipping at his heels, but Miller spun out of second spot with nine complete. Swavely was on cruise control after that, although he did endure a couple of heart-stopping moments when lapped cars got out of shape in front of him.
With Swavely blasting into the next area code and Bret Habecker trying futilely to catch him, Jamie Fetterolf and Brett Wanner waged a fan-pleasing battle for third. With six to go, they were joined by Miller, who rebounded from the spin to re-enter the top five late in the race.
Swavely waltzed to his fifth consecutive victory in Lanco's Sportsman class, and his eighth of the season. Habecker, who's had a run of bad luck in Sportsman competition, was a satisfied runner-up on Sunday. Wanner won the battle for third, with Miller slipping past Fetterolf to finish fourth.
A non-stop, clean and green 30-lapper produced a 250cc Four-Stroke triumph for Richie Hartman.
Hartman rocketed from the pole position to absolute domination of the Four-Stroke feature. He lapped everyone except runner-up Craig DeSantis, completing the 30 revolutions in six minutes, 10.929 seconds.
DeSantis finished a distant second, with Jared Esh, Peter Michael, and Matthew Swift rounding out the top five.
Jake Allen survived a few anxious moments on late race restarts, but held on to win the A-Main for the 250cc Stock class.
Allen led all the way, but Justin Layton was sitting in second when the yellow waved with six laps remaining. Layton ducked to the inside of Allen on the restart, but Allen repelled Layton's attacks at both ends of the speedway.
One final restart, with just a single lap left to run, allowed Layton to stick the nose of his No. 28L under the leader once again. Allen's No. 48 had just enough left to thwart Layton's final bid, though, and the checkered finally permitted Allen to breathe again.
"I didn't have any brakes over the last two laps, so I was worried about that last restart," reported Allen.
No brakes, no matter for Allen as he raced under Tim Gehret's checkered flag over Layton, Brett Estep, Barry Pollard, and Craig Martin.
With the Giorgio Foods/Hyper Racing Labor Day Shootout now in the rearview mirror, the Lanco club now turns its focus to the final two events of the 2010 racing season at the Clyde Martin Memorial Speedway. This Saturday, it's A.J. Blosenski Night at the speedway, and the point chases in most of the five weekly classes are extremely close.
Gates open at 3:30 on Saturday, September 11, with warm-ups slated for 5:00. The first heat race goes green at 6:00, and 25-lap features will highlight the program for the 600cc; 270cc; 125cc; Sportsman; and 250cc Four-Stroke Micro-Sprints. In addition, the Young Guns 390 Junior Sprint Series will make their only 2010 visit to the Clyde.
General admission for adults is just $8.00, with discounts for Senior Citizens and Students. Youth between the ages of six and twelve are admitted for only $2.00, and children under the age of six are free. Parking is always free at Lanco's Clyde Martin Memorial Speedway.
You've only got two more chances this year to come out and LIVE the excitement that is Lanco!
