Genealogy & Alumni top level
The VMI Archives receives many inquiries every week from family historians seeking information about a VMI ancestor. This page includes answers to some common questions. Have a question not answered here? For additional information, contact the VMI Archives.
How do I determine if my ancestor attended VMI?First, check our Online Historical Rosters Database. The database contains the names of all students who attended VMI from the opening of the Institute in 1839 through 1945, as well as non-alumni who were sent to VMI for training during World Wars I and II. Many 19th and early 20th century roster records also contain a biographical summary. Once you identify an ancestor, contact us for additional available records. Please note that we do not release information about living individuals.
Why do your records refer to my ancestor as a member of the "Class of 1858" even though he did not graduate?VMI uses the "Class of" designation to refer to the group with which a cadet matriculates and to the individuals within that group. A cadet entering in the Fall of 1854 became a member of the Class of 1858; this Class identification is used whether or not the student continued until graduation. Think of "Class" in terms of a descriptive label rather than graduation status.
My ancestor attended a "military school" before the Civil War, but he was much too young for college. Was VMI ever a secondary school/prep school/high school?VMI was established as the first state-supported military college in the United States and it has never offered high school level classes. Numerous military secondary schools were established throughout the South during the 19th century, but these prep schools were not part of or affiliated with the Institute. To see if your ancestor attended VMI, see our Online Rosters Database.
My ancestor attended VMI in the 19th century. Can you provide a copy of his application?The application process during the 19th century did not include the kind of formal application document with which we are familiar today. Rather, it typically consisted of correspondence between the school and parents, as well as gathering letters of recommendation for consideration by the VMI Board of Visitors. We often have correspondence in our files relating to the admission process and cadetship of individuals. You can learn more about the early application process here. For information about a specific person, please contact us.
I'm looking for a photograph of my ancestor. Can you help?We have a very extensive photograph collection, which can be searched online. Individual photographs exist from the 1850's forward, although not of every cadet. Class group photos first became popular in the 1870's, but were typically taken only during the First Class (Senior) year. The first yearbooks were not published until the late 19th century. In short, we have many cadet photographs, but do not have a photograph of every cadet. If you have a question, please contact us.
My relatives have always told me that my great-great-grandfather attended VMI, but you don't have any records that confirm this. Are some of your enrollment records missing?Our enrollment records are very complete and we are confident that we can document VMI enrollment. Family oral history is a valuable tool for starting your research, but it is not always accurate. Your ancestor may have attended another military college, or a military secondary school, or served in the military; or he may have applied to but not actually attended VMI.My ancestor entered VMI as a "third classman." What does that mean?The VMI class system is: Fourth=Freshman, Third=Sophomore, Second=Junior, First=Senior. In the 19th century, it was relatively common for well-prepared students to enter the Institute as a "third".What is a "Rat"?A "Rat" is the name for new cadets; the term was first used in the mid-19th century. Here is a reference by new cadet Edward Watson, dating from 1868:"I will begin my description just at 5 o'clock when I was awakened by a most dreadful noise. I at first thought that the house was falling or that a volcano had burst in about a quarter of a mile from -- I hardly knew where-- as I found myself lying with nothing between me and floor except a mattress about three feet wide. I was soon enlightened as to the cause of the disturbance by an old cadet who in the dim light of the very early morning, as he stood dressing close by, I had not noticed. He remarked in a tone which seemed anything but motherly, "Rat, get up, Sir, and go to reveille."
My grandfather attended VMI in the 1940's and he is still living. I'm writing a family history for a reunion and I'd really like to see his records. Can you send me copies?Records of living alumni are covered by FERPA and privacy statutes and are closed to research. We do not release the records of living alumni. The only exception is when the alumnus has provided us with written permission specifically authorizing release to a third party. If your grandfather provides us with such a signed release, we can send copies of his records to you. In the absence of a signed released, we provide only publically available material such as that found in the yearbook or a newspaper article.

Wilmington's crime lab gets international accreditation
Published: Tuesday, July 2, 2013 at 9:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, July 2, 2013 at 9:30 a.m.
WILMINGTON | The Wilmington Police Department's Crime Lab recently received international accreditation from the American Society of Crime Laboratory Directors/Laboratory Accreditation Board.
The accreditation helps the agency to meet the requirements of a new state law that only allows accredited labs to perform forensic analysis for evidence admitted in state courts.
The Wilmington Police Department lab is one of four publicly funded labs in the state with this accreditation. The Charlotte-Mecklenberg Police Department, the Wake County City-County Bureau of Identification and the N.C. State Crime Laboratory have also received accreditation.
"This accreditation is a great accomplishment for our agency. It puts us on a level with state and nationally recognized labs such as the EPA, FDA and DEA," WPD Chief Ralph Evangelous said.

November Almanac
November is largely a month of transition as we continue to get closer to the chill of winter with the memory of the warmth of summer and fall becoming more distant. The Metro Area has had a few large November snowstorms with perhaps the most famous on record occurring on Veterans' Day in 1987. Over eleven inches of snow fell at National Airport - the largest November snow on record for Washington. There was even thunder snow reported in our eastern suburbs where fourteen inches fell.
The average high and low in the beginning of the month is 64 and 45. Those averages drop to 53 and 36 as we close out the month. The last recorded eighty degree temperature occurs on the eighteenth. Our warmest November on record was back in 2001 when temperatures were five degrees higher than the average. We average an inch of snow Downtown and a bit over an inch in the suburbs. In terms of liquid precipitation we average a bit over three inches for the month.
November can be a great month to star gaze. There will be a new moon on Sunday the third and a full moon on Sunday the seventeenth. This full moon is called the full Beaver Moon, named that because it's time to set beaver traps before the swamps freeze over.
There is a partial solar eclipse on Sunday, the third. In our area nearly fifty percent of the sun will be blocked by the moon. Do not look directly at the sun even though the eclipse occurs shortly after sunrise. The sun rises at 6:37 AM and will be at peak eclipse by 7:15 AM. The weather should cooperate with clear skies. Saturn is gone but Venus returns as November unfolds.

Ground Game Leads Tulsa Past Nicholls State, 66-16
Sept. 15, 2012
TULSA, Okla. - Ja'Terian Douglas rushed for 163 yards and two touchdowns to lead Tulsa to a 66-16 victory over Nicholls State Saturday evening in front of a crowd of 19,139 fans at H.A. Chapman Stadium.
The Golden Hurricane (2-1) totaled 566 yards of offense, including 333 yards on the ground. Zack Langer also found the end zone twice after rushing for 67 yards on 15 carries. Cody Green completed 10-of-15 passes for 130 yards and a pair of touchdowns. Backup Kalen Henderson completed six passes for 55 yards and ran three times for 27 yards after entering the game in relief of Green in the second quarter.
Seven different TU receivers caught a pass in the game, led by Jordan James' four catches for 51 yards and Keyarris Garrett's four catches for 50 yards. Garrett and Willie Carter were the recipients of Green's two touchdown passes.
Nicholls State (2-0) gained 370 total yards, including 222 rushing and 148 in the air. Colonel quarterback Landry Klann completed 10-of-19 passes for 134 yards and a touchdown. Marcus Washington led NSU in rushing with 15 carries for 91 yards, while LaQuintin Caston ran seven times for 86 yards and a touchdown.
Long Douglas runs on each of its first two drives gave Tulsa an early 14-0 lead. On the third play of the game Ja'Terian Douglas raced 67 yards for a touchdown. On the following drive, he ran 73 yards on the first play to eventually set up an Alex Singleton dive into the end zone.
The Hurricane used six plays on its next possession, driving 50 yards to extend its lead to 21-0 on a 10-yard Watts rush.
Nicholls State got on the board with a 63-yard touchdown run by LaQuintin Caston with 2:30 left in the first quarter.
TU pushed its lead to 28-0 when Willie Carter caught a 31-yard catch-and-run toss from Cody Green. Tulsa scored 28 points in the first quarter for the first time since Oct. 18, 2008 when it scored 28 in the opening quarter against UTEP.
The Golden Hurricane scored on its fifth straight possession to begin the game when Green found Keyarris Garrett with an 11-yard lob in the corner of the end zone. The play capped a 81 yard drive that took 11 plays that took 2:56 to give TU a 35-6 lead. It was Tulsa's longest drive of the first half.
After is first punt of the game, the Hurricane needed three plays to travel just 36 yards, as Douglas sprinted into the end zone from 11 yards out to give TU a 42-6 lead. The Colonels added a field goal before halftime, when Andrew Dolan's 40 yarder capped an 11-play, 54-yard drive to make the score 42-9.
A Schwarz 23-yard field goal with 7:13 remaining in the third quarter extended Tulsa's lead to 45-9.
On the next Nicholls State possession, McCoil picked off his 14th career pass, breaking the school record. His INT set up an eight-yard touchdown run by Langer. It was the first career touchdown for the redshirt freshman.
Singleton scored his second touchdown of the night with a three-yard rush, capping an eight-play, 45-yard drive to give TU a 59-9 lead with 13:23 left in the game.
Nicholls State put its second touchdown on the board when Klann connected with Aldaro Russell for a 49-yard touchdown to make the score 59-16.
Langer's second touchdown of the game - a one-yard run - completed a 75-yard drive that lasted 12 plays and made the 66-16 final score.
Tulsa returns to action Saturday, Sept. 22, when it plays host to Fresno State at 7 p.m. at H.A. Chapman Stadium. The game will be televised by CBS Sports Network. Tickets for the game are still available and can be purchased online at www.TulsaHurricane.com, by calling 918-631-GoTU (4688) or stopping by the TU Athletic Ticket Office, Mon-Fri, 8:30-5 p.m.

How To Rebuild A GM Steering ColumnWritten by on January 1, 2001 Fixing The Broken Column In Our Chevelle Wasn't Hard With Help From Year One
Having your street machine stolen is a stomach-wrenching experience. Through a desperately needed stroke of good luck, the police recovered our 70 Chevelle. Of course, the model citizens who pilfered Cheap Street managed to mangle a few things on the car, so weve been repairing the damage over the last few weeks. They screwed up the steering column pretty badly, mostly from slide-hammering the ignition-lock cylinder. We cant figure out why, because the keys were in the ignition when it was stolen. That means that the thieves were even dumber than we were for leaving the keys there in the first place.
After assessing the damage, we were pleased to find that the main steering collar and shift tube were left intact. Browsing through Year Ones Chevelle catalog yielded all the parts we needed to repair the mangled steering column and a few other things that needed rebuilding or replacing anyway. Our Chevelle is equipped with the standard non-tilt column used in most 69-and-later GM cars, which proved to be surprisingly easy to rebuild. The cosmetic improvement alone was well worth the afternoons time spent disassembling and detailing the assembly. The only downside is the dramatic contrast it creates with the dingy dashboard and broken instrumentation. Well remedy that soon enough, but in the meantime check out how we freshened up the column.
More Photos From This Article View Slideshow
Unbolting a Chevelle column is simple. From the interior side, you'll need to remove two bolts on the plastic-finish panel, five more bolts on the firewall insulating plate, and two nuts that secure the column mast to the dashboard structure. Lift the hood and remove the nut and bolt from the output flange clamp and disconnect the linkage rod from the shift lever if your car is so equipped. Before you lift the column out of the car, remember to pull the column shift indicator cable off the shift collar and undo the wiring harness from the ignition and neutral safety switches.Remove the steering wheel with a puller; they don't come off very easily if you try to yank on 'em. Once the wheel is off, remove the three screws that attach this stamped metal cover. Lift off the cover to reveal the lock plate.The lock plate is retained at its center with a spring clip, but the plate itself is under spring tension. The easiest way to remove the lock plate is with this special Lock Plate Removal Tool (shown in a factory illustration). They're available at parts stores, dealerships, or you can fabricate your own out of bar stock. Crank down on the lock plate and remove the spring clip. The lock plate will come off when you remove the tool. Remove the coil spring and horn contact.Our turn-signal switch worked intermittently, so we couldn't wait to replace it with the new GM switch we got from Year One. Remove the screw that holds the turn-signal lever. You'll need to remove three more screws that secure the switch itself; two are visible now (arrows), and the third is accessible if you place the switch in either turn position. After removing the screws, unscrew the Hazard switch on the side of the column and lift the turn-signal switch up and out of the way. A neat trick for getting the switch harness out smoothly is taping the harness plug tightly to the wires.The two-prong contact switches your ignition-key buzzer on and off. Lift the switch straight up (don't lose the spring clip that's attached to it). To remove the ignition-lock cylinder, turn the key to Lock, insert a thin tool into the circled slot to break the casting flash, and push down to release the spring latch on the cylinder. Pull the lock cylinder out of the column. Remove the bolts that hold the ignition switch to the lower column (not shown). Don't forget to remove the washer that surrounds the steering shaft. Now remove the four bolts (arrows) and lift the entire housing out of the column.Here's what you'll find on the other side of the turn-signal housing. The rack activates the ignition switch when the ignition key is turned. Lift it out of the housing and remove its preload spring. The lock bolt is driven through the lock plate when the ignition key is turned to the Off position and keeps the steering wheel from turning. Remove it and its spring from the housing, then remove the two Phillips head screws that secure the shift gate. We degreased and re-lubed the gate before reinstalling it.Survey the damage, folks. The sector gear (arrow) was so trashed that we couldn't operate the ignition switch at all. We placed a small screwdriver on the flat surface of the gear, and tapped it off the metal shaft. Push the new gear on until you feel a positive "click." The gear should turn freely when correctly installed. When you reassemble the column, make sure the big tooth on the sector gear aligns with the big slot on the rack.Yuck—the lower gearshift housing bearing was trashed and was creating lots of play in the shift tube. After sanding and painting the turn-signal housing, shift collar, and column body with Eastwood's Underhood Black, we installed a new GM gearshift housing bearing.
Here's the lower end of the column that protrudes into the engine compartment. Pry off the retaining clip (arrow) with a screwdriver, and remove the metal cap (careful, it's under light spring tension). Lift off the plastic bearing retainer (the bearing will come with it), and remove the spring. Our bearing was seized, so we pried it off and pressed on a new one. Remove the two screws that hold the neutral safety switch to the column and lift off the switch. Now you can take the shift tube out of the column body. We also removed the firewall insulation plate. It's a two-piece design, so you'll probably have to cut the foam insulation to remove it.Installation is a reversal of disassembly (the exploded view helps), and it's not a bad job if you haven't lost any of the small parts. We lubed all the bearings and sliding surfaces with white grease before installing them for smooth operation.Installing the ignition lock is a little tricky. Insert the key partway into the lock cylinder so the locking tab (arrow) doesn't protrude completely. Insert the whole assembly into the column and make sure the sector gear lines up with the lock's position. Now push the lock cylinder all the way into the column. Push the key the rest of the way into the lock and rotate it in the column to make sure it functions properly.Our shift-rod bushing was trashed, so Year One came to our rescue yet again with a new part. We pried out the rotted stock bushing and installed the new one in its place.The Chevelle's ZZ502 generates so much noise and heat that we figured we'd install new foam insulation at the firewall plate.The new foam insulation isn't self- adhesive, so we sprayed the mating surfaces with 3M General Trim Adhesive. We bolted the firewall plates in place on the column, and maneuvered the foam pad over the shift lever and joined it with the firewall plates. Loosen the firewall-plate mounting screws a little, because you'll have to adjust the location of the plate when you reinstall the column in the car.

Builders are socially responsible. Most participate in community and civic activities like voting, volunteering, and donating to charities. Health-related causes are the most popular among those who give to charities.
It's difficult to stereotype builders' attitudes on social issues. Fewer than half are in favor of developing more land. On core issues like the environment and healthcare, they are not as conservative as some might assume.
Builders are fairly technology savvy. These results support recent figures from Readex Research, which show 94% of builders researched building products online during the past six months, and 84% of professional builders use the Internet daily.
Builders spend their leisure time participating in a variety of recreational activities, just like the general population. Over the past year, their activities varied from baseball and bowling, to soccer and snowboarding. Golf leads the way.
Builders were asked to estimate their household net worth, including the estimated market value of equity in their companies, homes, other real estate, vehicles, personal and household possessions, as well as bank accounts, stocks, bonds, and other investments. Forty percent have a net worth of $1 million or more.Above: Most builders work in small companies with fewer than 200 people. More than half of these firms have 20 or fewer employees. At the other end of the spectrum, some work in very large companies with staffs of more than 200 people.
Any good sales person will tell you how important it is to get to know customers. Really understanding a customer, beyond just knowing what they like to buy, helps build strong relationships. With this in mind, Hanley Wood hired Specpan, an Internet-based research group, to survey builders, one of the concrete producer's most important customers, to find out what makes them tick.
A profile of the modern building contractor emerged at Hanley Wood's American Housing Conference in September. Of the 451 builders who were surveyed, 29% were over the age of 45. Most were men; 13% were women. And 63% of builders had earned a bachelor's degree or higher.
On the home front, most builders were married (83%), and they strongly agreed that family is important (85%). A vast majority (94%) own their homes, and more than a third (35%) own two or more houses. Most agreed they enjoy entertaining guests in their homes (69%).
Off the clock, dining out is the builders' favorite way to relax and unwind. Going to the movies scored second, and going to sporting events was a close third. Not surprisingly, golf is their favorite outdoor activity. Builders also enjoy bicycling, boating or sailing, fishing, swimming and hiking.
However, builders are still business-minded. For example, they are three times more likely to read a business or trade magazine than a newsweekly or sports magazine. When they buy books, almost 60% are business-related.
Many are frequent travelers. In the three months before the survey, roughly half of them had taken a vacation (53%), and traveled for business (47%).
Nearly all (95%) said they had taken a vacation in the past three years; more than half (55%) had traveled outside the continental United States.
More insights into how builders spend their time and money follow. You may want to consider these responses the next time you plan a meeting or have an outing with a builder.

The most exciting play in baseball
It happened again last night. Mark Teahen can motor around those bases. He has a pair of inside-the-park homers this season. Teahen's gallop around the base paths was the icing on the cake for a come-from-behind win over the Sox.
A lot of plays in baseball can be exciting. Around the Horn double plays are a favorite here, for obvious reasons. Triple plays are much rarer and maybe more exciting.
Around the Horn did a little informal Internet research today, scouring a few Internet message boards, random polls and listening to some talk radio and the consensus is in on baseball's most exciting play. To find out what we found, let's go Around the Horn…
The common theme for the most exciting play was quick action. Close tags, snap throws, quick thinking in tight games and late innings were present in almost every answer Around the Horn found. Teahen's journey last night provided a little of all of that.
During the eighth inning, with Jose Guillen on at second after doubling Mike Aviles home for the go-ahead run, Teahen laced a 3-2 pitch into the right-center gap that bounced to the wall. Guillen scored easily. Teahen got on his horse (we love that phrase!). He said he was looking for a triple. So did some of the White Sox fielders.
When Sox catcher A.J. Pierzynski tagged Teahen on the forearm, it was just after the Royals' right fielder touched home. And the crowd exploded.
In a matter of five batters and almost no time, the Royals scored four runs and were set to win the game. After all, we have an All-Star named Joakim Soria to bring in for the ninth.
Teahen's inside-the-parker was his second this season and the second of his career. His first was May 27 when the Twins were in town. The last Royal hit a pair in a season was Brian McRae in 1992. Willie Wilson holds the Royals inside-the-park records with 13 during his career and five in 1979 alone. So Teahen has some running to do.
But what does he think about them?
To quote MLB.com: "They're starting to get kind of boring," Teahen deadpanned.
For some fun stats about inside-the-park homers, check out Baseball Almanac.
Not to be overlooked in last night's eighth inning heroics is Jose Guillen. The Royals slugger had a hand in two of the runs the team scored. He has 22 go-ahead RBI which is first in the American League (tied with Texas' Josh Hamilton). San Diego's Adrian Gonzalez has 24 RBI to lead the Majors, with Guillen and Hamilton tied for second. Hamilton and Gonzalez are heading to New York next week.
His RBI-double was his 29th, which is fourth in the Majors and it came with two outs. Guillen has been exceptional with two outs, knocking in 29 RBI with two men down. That's third in the A.L. He's also tied for third in the League with 65 total RBI.
The Royals have snagged two pitchers in the last few weeks off waivers with Robinson Tejeda already making a difference in the bullpen and now lefty Josh Newman being assigned to Omaha today after Colorado put him on waivers…Zack Grienke, who sits at 104 K's, is the 13th pitcher in Royals history to top 100 strikeouts before the All-Star break(he's 10th on the list and Dennis Leonard holds the record with 133 in 1977)…Notes from Trey Hillman's pre-game press conference: Hillman and his staff have already started evaluating the first half of the season. They had a three-hour meeting last Saturday in Tampa to begin the process…Mark Grudzielanek when 0-for-4 last, still leaving him two hits shy of 2,000. Around the Horn blames itself for jinxing him with yesterday's post. Our bad, Grud.
Limited spots remain for the Royals charity golf tournament. It will be held on August 7 at The National in Parkville, Mo.
Two more games follow tonight for the "Hats Off" weekend. That also means two more games of relief support and one more night of discounted "relief tickets." Make it a point to get out here (if you can) and support your fellow Midwesterners in need.
Extra Innnings
The Royals are working on a number of things for Military Appreciation Day, which is August 2. Around the Horn would like to request some help from our faithful here at mlblogs.com. If you have pictures of loved ones overseas wearing Royals gear, you can send them to firstname.lastname@example.com and we might be able to use them for a presentation during that day's events.
If not, Around the Horn is also working on a special post for that day and may post some of these photos right here. Please include the name of the person, hometown, where they are stationed and what branch they are in.
Thanks for your help.

We ary trying to add our own content filter to our zimbra install.
Generally this is done with postfix but to do this we need postfix's
sendmail replacement/wrapper. I believe it is part of the standard
postfix install but. I cannot find it in the postfix files installed
with Zimbra.
Is there a reason for this? Any ideas on how to cleanly get it back
without any damage to the Zimbra install?
If we are successfull at getting TMDA working with Zimbra would you be interested in how it was done?

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) -- The House of Delegates has passed legislation that would assign letter grades to public schools in Virginia just as teachers grade students from A to F.
A similar bill easily won Senate committee backing last week and is due for a final floor vote Tuesday.
The Senate also voted 40-0 to pass McDonnell's bill revamping teacher evaluation and grievance procedures. The House passed the bill last week.
Also Monday, the House gave preliminary approval to a McDonnell-backed proposal to create an Opportunity Educational Institution to take over failing schools. An 11-member board would oversee efforts to restore the schools to full accreditation.

(WUSA9) -- Labor Day is just around the corner and you still can jump on a couple of deals now for travel this weekend.
We reached out to Bob Diener of GetARoom.com, who is also a frequent guest on our morning show, for some ideas. Here's what he sent us:
You can stay in Downtown Disney at the Wyndham Lake Buena Vista Resort for 60% off. Prices are from $105 night and you can dine with Mickey!
Another option is Las Vegas. There are special rates over the Labor Day weekend and this fall in Las Vegas. For example, the Quad Hotel in the center of the Las Vegas Strip is now $97 a night for the upcoming holiday weekend.
Bob Diener had a few more travel suggestions for the fall. He flagged the fall sale with Southwest Airlines. You have to purchase by August 29, 2013 for travel Sept. 3 through Feb. 12. There is a 14-day advance purchase required. Fares start at $69 with no baggage or change fees.
Diener also suggests for hotel stays this fall, book at least 14 days in advance for the best deals. Many hotels are offering 10% to 30% off for booking 14 days in advance.
Another tip: call 1-800-hotels8 and ask for the "unpublished rate" for the hotel you are interested in. That move will typically save you another 10 to 20 percent.

One of the scariest experiences I've had in my career was crashing into a frigid glacial lake in the former Yugoslavia while on assignment for National Geographic.
I had hired a small, ultra-light, two-seater airplane in to do aerials over Bled Lake in Slovenia. The pilot flew down to the surface of the lake, very, very close — in fact so close that I told him to go up because we were only about five feet from the water. If I had wanted to be that close I could have hired a boat, but it was too late. The wheels got caught in the water and we couldn't pull out. We went down and as soon as the fuselage and the propeller hit the water, the propeller blew apart.
We flipped upside down in the 40-degree water in the middle of February and immediately began to sink. The cockpit was not enclosed. The seatbelt was a jerry-rigged homemade device and I hadn't studied it and couldn't get it off me.
I realized I was going to die. I guess that part of your brain concerned with self-preservation kicked in, and I slid underneath the contraption, literally went underneath, and was able to swim to the surface. The pilot made it, but didn't attempt to help me. My passport and equipment went to the bottom. Fortunately the pilot and I were picked up by a fisherman within ten minutes. Days later the plane was raised but all of my equipment is still 60 feet down.
There was another airplane incident in Africa. Again, I was on assignment photographing the Sahel, that band of land that separates the Sahara Desert from the grasslands of the Savannah.
We got lost flying from Timbuktu in Mali back to the capital of Bamako. We had left in a sandstorm and started flying along the Niger River. I guess the pilot's navigational instruments weren't working. He literally could not find his way back to the capital.
I watched him circling and I started to wonder what was going on. He came back down through the clouds. It was getting dark and there was a huge thunderstorm right in our path. The pilot dropped the small craft to search for his bearings.
Fuel was getting low, and we could never make it back to Timbuktu. To the south, an enormous black wall of clouds loomed from the horizon – a monsoon storm. In vain, for a half an hour we scanned the landscape searching for an opening. We had no radio contact, and and no navigational equipment. We prepared our last thoughts.
Finally, the pilot spotted a millet field, agonizingly small, but flat. As we thundered in, I watched the wheel of the plane miss a six-foot hole by a few steps.
We shuddered to a stop with a few hard bounces. Villagers ran out from the surrounding bush in wonderment as the sky opened up. We slept on the plane that night, and finally found a vehicle to take us back to the capital city of Bamako, fourteen hours of bone-rattling roads.

|GOCO discussions return to soccer
|Written by Kyle Arnoldy
Holyoke City Council members faced questions regarding their decision to exclude the construction of soccer fields from the Great Outdoors Colorado grant application at their Tuesday, Aug. 20 meeting.
Sharon Jones, who had attended prior council meetings to voice her support of the fields when the idea of adding soccer fields to the application was first discussed, attended the meeting to vocalize her disappointment. Jones also raised questions about the community support issue and what could be done in the future to secure the fields.
"I am passionate for the sport, and I am passionate for getting youth involved. I guess I am here tonight to ask what it will take to have the city consider soccer fields," Jones said.
Council members explained to Jones that the lack of community support was the reason the fields were not included in the grant. Few people who took the survey about what the city should pursue in the grant were for the addition of the fields.
Jones argued that the support for the fields and the sport in general is strong in Holyoke, but from what she has gathered, a number of supporters were unaware of the survey that was advertised in the Enterprise and on city bills that were sent to residents.
Results indicated that the fields only drew 20 percent support.
Jones also took issue with the surveys not being made available in Spanish, as Holyoke has a large Spanish-speaking population.
Jones' request for the number of participants in the survey was denied at the meeting by Mayor Orville Tonsing. Citing Colorado's Open Records Act, the Enterprise's request for the survey numbers Wednesday morning resulted in immediate release of that information at the city office.
According to the survey, only four people were in favor of the soccer fields, of the total of 20 who completed the survey.
As advised by Heidi Hillman, the grant writer hired for the project, council members initially withheld the participation level because the low survey response could hurt the city's chances of obtaining the grant.
Jones was advised that forming a small focus group or even getting a petition together would be acceptable routes in which to show the support for the cause in the future.
If the city does not receive the GOCO grant, the next grant cycle is set for March. Council member Kevin Scott was quick to point out that the county would be pursuing a GOCO grant in the next cycle, so for the city to try to attain the funds for soccer fields at that time would weaken both parties' chances of being chosen for the grants.
Jones indicated she planned to gather support from the community for the fields, but no timetable was established for when or if the city would consider the fields as a future project.
The city's GOCO grant has been completed and council members voted to support the application which was scheduled to be submitted Tuesday, Aug. 27.
Public hearing set for Holyoke Marketplace zoning changes
Council members accepted a recommendation from Holyoke Planning Commission at Tuesday's meeting to allow the subdivision exemption for NECO Grocery, doing business as Holyoke Marketplace, on a tract of land located north of Holyoke Marketplace to be used as an employee parking lot for Holyoke Marketplace.
The planning commission will hold a public hearing at 6:30 p.m. prior to the regularly scheduled Tuesday, Sept. 3 city council meeting to discuss zoning changes for Holyoke Marketplace.
Following the public hearing, the planning commission will give their recommendation to the city council with how to proceed and a final vote by council members on the zoning changes will be made that night.
Officials report
City Superintendent Mark Brown reported that the lighting project at the high school for the football field had been completed and plans to test the lighting have been made.
He also mentioned that the water and sewer department were busy working on broken meters while the streets department is still patching streets, with seal coating scheduled to begin Monday, Aug. 26.
Police Chief Doug Bergstrom reported that the department received 57 calls for service between Aug. 1-14. In that time they also assisted the Sheriff's Office and an FBI task force in making a couple of arrests.
Other business
In other business Aug. 20, the council:
—accepted a contract from Building Restoration Specialists to do the brickwork at the Heginbotham Library.
—agreed to compensate Corey Zeiler and Damon Ellis $14 an hour for their assistance with street seal coating.

Ocean cargo/global logistics: Short-sea shipping not a done deal in U.S. yet
U.S. Department of Transportation Maritime Administration (MARAD) has established a final rule on its "Marine Highway" strategy, shippers are keen to understand how the tactical implementation will begin
June 07, 2010
Now that the U.S. Department of Transportation Maritime Administration (MARAD) has established a final rule on its "Marine Highway" strategy, shippers are keen to understand how the tactical implementation will begin. More to the point, however, is the question of how it will enhance trade and improve the movement of domestic goods.
John Hummer, director of MARAD's Northern California Gateway Office, was charged with facing those queries and others at last week's "Ports & Terminals" luncheon staged by the Pacific Transportation Association. Held at Scott's, near the Port of Oakland, the event attracted its share of skeptics who took issue with some of Hummer's rosier projections.
"How does MARAD quantify the return on investment?" asked one shipper, who said that not enough "hard numbers" had been produced before the plan was pushed through.
Hummer admitted that MARAD's five-year plan to ease congestion by using barges and tugs as alternatives to trucks was going to deliver a "net value" yet to be measured.
"But it's our best shot at the moment," he added. "And worth a try.
According to the "National Strategy to Reduce Congestion on America's Transportation Network," congestion is costing the U.S. an estimated $200 billion a year." And this figure is rising. Nearly 98 percent of all domestic freight including through ports moves on the United States' nation's highways and railroads.
The Federal Highway Administration study entitled, "Estimated Cost of Freight Involved in Highway Bottlenecks – Final Report," indicates that, on average, there are currently 10,500 trucks per day per mile on the Interstate Highway System. But by 2035, that volume is expected to double to 22,700 trucks, with the most heavily used portions of the system seeing upwards of 50,000 trucks per day.
"By linking the Northern California ports of Sacramento, Stockton, and Oakland, a great deal of that surface mode pressure can be relieved," said Hummer. "Short-sea shipping is hardly a new concept, and now that the Obama Administration has given us the funding, it;'s worth a try."
Other concerns raised about the plan were brought up by members of the International Longshore and Warehouse Union (ILWU). One dockside worker was assured by Hummer that all container hand-offs would remain with the ILWU – which controls all three ports. The implications of a wildcat strike or sudden work slowdown were not addressed, however.

MORRISTOWN - For the second consecutive year, Wheeling Park has opened the 2011-12 wrestling season by winning the 19-team Union Local Doan Ford Invitational.
Saturday at 'The Hangar' in Morristown, the Patriots 'A' team recorded five individual champions on its way to a whopping 387 points, easily outdistancing second-place University, which had 311. Buckeye Local was third with 238, Watkins Memorial fourth at 220 and Edison fifth with 207, three more than Meadowbrook's 204.
Taking home first-place trophies were Dylan Taylor (126), Jonny Davis (132), Danny Colby (152), Cody Amos (171) and Casey Hewitt (285). Taylor, the Patriots' freshman phenom, was voted the Most Outstanding Wrestler by the tournament's coaches. He won his title with a 11-2 decision over Buckeye Local's Nathan Kirk.
"Dylan has put in a ridiculous amount of time training and he deserves everything he gets, but he is still young and has some things to work on. He did pretty good here today."
Davis could be called a natural as his father, Jason, was a three- time West Virginia state champion.
Davis claimed his championship when he blanked Weir's Hunter McLaughlin by a 6-0 count. Colby outpointed University's Jessee Perroots 7-2 and Amos pinned his fellow teammate, Greg Myers, and Hewitt outlasted Steubenville's Darrelle Solomon 1-0 in an overtime thriller.
"It's a great credit to these kids because they have trained so hard," said Wheeling Park head coach Sean Doyle. "Whenever we go to a tournament, we like to think that we've built our program to where we can 14 kids place."
The Patriots also had runnerups in Josh Dent (160) and Luke Braunlich (182), while two others finished third and another pair fourth. Buckeye Local and University were the only other squads to have more than one titlist, as each had a pair.
The Panthers' champions were Sam Ronevich (113) and Corey Slaga (195). Ronevich defeated Edison's Robert Shannon for his championship, while Slaga won his pool with a forfeit win over teammate JP Solomon.
The Hawks' first-placers included Blake Lillard (160) and Nate Constantine (182).

Davis, who earned several honors during football season, claimed his weight class with a pin of Barnesville's Mason Plumly in 1:24.
Buckeye Local finished with five place-winners, including Tyler Singleton (120), Kirk (126) and Antonio Marques (138).
In addition to Josh Davis, Bellaire had a third-placer Christian Edmonds (170) and a fourth in Nick Maffe (160).
Barnesville's Chance Andrews (132) and Union Local's Zac Sowers (120) also finished fourth.

CAT-5 Receiver with Adjustable Line Equalization
Features and Benefits
- Tuned to compensate for Category-5 (CAT-5) cable losses
Up to 100 meters @ 120 MHz
- 2 voltage controlled frequency response adjustment pins
High frequency peaking adjustment
Broadband gain adjustment
- Slew rate: 2700 V/µs
- Low output noise
1.5 mV rms integrated noise @ 100 meters equalized bandwidth
- DC output offset adjust
- Equalized pass-band ripple ±1 dB to 70 MHz
- Supply current: 24 mA on ±5 V
- Small 8-lead 3 mm x 3 mm LFCSP
Product Details
The AD8128 is a high speed, differential receiver/equalizer that compensates for the transmission losses of unshielded twisted pair (UTP) CAT-5 cables. Various frequency dependent gain stages are summed together to best approximate the inverse frequency response of CAT-5/CAT-5e cable. An equalized bandwidth of 120 MHz can be achieved for 100 meters of cable.
Low integrated output noise and offset voltage adjust make the AD8128 an excellent choice for dc-coupled wideband RGB-over-CAT-5 applications. For systems where the UTP cable is longer than 100 meters, two AD8128s can be cascaded to compensate for losses up to 200 meters of CAT-5/CAT-5e.
The AD8128 can be used as a stand-alone receiver/equalizer or in conjunction with the AD8143, triple differential receiver, to provide a complete low cost solution for receiving RGB over UTP cable in such applications as KVM.
The AD8128 is available in a 3 mm x 3 mm 8-lead LFCSP and is rated to operate over the extended temperature range of -40°C to + 85°C.

Saint Benedict's and Saint John's provide on-campus educational opportunities for the part-time adult learner on a space-available basis. Persons with full-time occupations other than that of student are welcome to register in continuing education for 11 or fewer credits per semester. Anyone applying for continuing education must have been out of high school or college for at least two years, except as noted. With verification of degree completion, CSB/SJU alumnae/i may enroll in continuing education the semester following the completion of their baccalaureate degree. Special reduced tuition rates are set for continuing education students. Continuing education students should be aware their course registration follows the registration period for regularly matriculated students, and they are ineligible for most types of financial aid.
Courses throughout the entire undergraduate curriculum of the colleges are available through continuing education. Adults taking these courses enroll at Saint Benedict's if they are women and Saint John's if they are men.
Continuing education students are subject to all college academic policies regarding probation, dismissal and readmission.
Continuing education students may be:
(1) adults taking classes for personal enrichment without working toward any particular degree or certificate.
These students may enroll without abiding by a formal admission process. These courses may not be used towards completion of a baccalaureate degree from the colleges until the student formally applies for admission as a degree-seeking student and is admitted as such to the college.
(2) adults taking classes in order to complete a baccalaureate degree.
New, returning or transfer students in this category must submit high school and college transcripts from previously attended schools and formally apply to the Office of Admission and be (re)admitted to CSB/SJU.
(3) adults taking classes to complete the Certificate in Ministry.
The colleges offer a Certificate in Ministry, which assists persons to minister in religious educational programs in parishes. The coursework for this certificate consists of five required courses plus three elective courses. Both men and women may enroll in this certificate program. Students seeking CE enrollment toward the Certificate in Ministry must submit to the theology department high school and college transcripts of previously attended schools. Ministry certificate credits earned by students formally admitted to the college may be applicable to a subsequent baccalaureate degree in theology with the approval of the chair of the theology department.
(4) adults taking a variety of special academic programs.
Saint John's offers a part-time study program for adults with a bachelor's degree (or its academic equivalent) who wish to take graduate level theology courses in the School of Theology. Students can take no more than three graduate credits in a given semester and cannot be enrolled in a degree program in the School of Theology. Auditors are allowed on a space-available basis. Both men and women can enroll in this program; special tuition rates apply. For further information contact the dean of the School of Theology at Saint John's.
Both colleges sponsor Elderhostel study programs each summer, as well as periodic special academic programs which carry continuing education units. (No credit applicable towards a baccalaureate degree is earned, nor is a permanent transcript created of this work.)
Post-baccalaureate adults seeking continuing education enrollment for licensure completion or second degrees must submit to the Academic Advising Office verification of degree completion. Such students are subject to college academic policies regarding probation, dismissal and readmission.
Students working toward education licensure may enroll in student teaching for a total of 11 credits (while completing the required number of student teaching hours) if their baccalaureate degree is earned and awarded (demonstrated by the posting of the degree on the transcript) AFTER one year has transpired since the last formal enrollment as a full-time student.
Transfer students seeking second degrees must submit high school and college transcripts from previously attended schools and formally apply to the Office of Admission and be admitted to CSB/SJU.
For further information about continuing education contact the Academic Advising Office at Saint Benedict's or Saint John's.

this is what I expect as well. Davis vs. Withey will be the matchup of the game, if Withey can slow him down I think KU could shock them. Also Robinson vs Jones will be fun to watch.
Both teams matchup pretty well with each other, should be a good game.

Hope i didn't waste 38 mil on UK. ...
I doubted KU for every NCAA tourney games that they played so far (I didn't think they were going to beat Detroit in first round). They proved me wrong. I hope they win. UK looks like pro basketball team. Not sure if anyone can beat them right now.
Since I live in Lawrence, it has been really exciting. Whole town went nuts after the victory on Sat. Hopefully we can pull off an upset.
I am cheering for KU.
I must admit that I post less in official gameday threads started by Clones21.

Edit... I don't think Kansas has much of a chance to keep it within single digits let alone win the game. I predict Kentucky by 17.

Yes... yes it would. I want to puke because I have to cheer for that chum bucket coach Cal. The nice thing is that when Kentucky has to give the trophy back in a few years, take the National Championship banner down, etc.... I won't have to give that money back.

Believing that women of every shape, size and age deserve to feel their most beautiful and confident at all times, the Co'Coon line is inclusive of wide range of styles suited to meet the needs of a diverse range of women. Each shaper is created using state of the art machinery and over one thousand precision trained staff, who have the comfort and confidence of the future wearer in mind as they manufacture Co'Coon's collection. One of the more unique aspects of this collection is the incorporation of natural ingredients into the the textiles that are used. This breakthrough in the science of shaping is one of the most exciting developments in the industry. Harnessing the power of marine algae, vitamin E, milk protein and more, the wearer is left with smoother, better looking skin.
Co'Coon has many wonderful garments but these are a few of our favorites: The Anti-Cellulite Capri Bodysuit (1736) has been infused with caffeine which mobilizes fat cells, encouraging slimming and improving the visual appearance of cellulite. Best of all, Co'Coon has introduced a Shaper Recharger Spray with Caffeine which can be reapplied anytime, insuring that your garment is effective at all times.

You'll love the way it smooths all over while reducing your midsection by 2 dress sizes. The Amber (2465) is a hosiery-weight shaper infused with marine algae microcapsules. And of course, the Infused Control Tank (4501) brings the same moisture to a tummy controlling top with a high back to minimize bra bulge. No matter who you are, there's a Co'Coon garment you'll fall in love with.

Average Customer Review: based on 1 reviews.Rating: Apeks XTX200 DIN Regulator Review - Scuba Gear Customer Reviews
Darrick, you didnt answer the whole question. If you would address the rest of it, I would appreciate it.
Hello Stephen, for all the aspect of the diving you are looking to do I would suggest the XTX 200 the knobs are bigger then the Tek 3. So when you are ice diving and have the thicker gloves you will still be able to access the knobs. As for all other aspects between the two regulator the performance you will see will be the same.
i see this first stage has a plastic hand wheel does it last as long as the metal one on the tek 3 regulators? are the tek 3 regulators as good a performer as the xtx 200? i want to get regulators for back mount, side mount, ice, and just good warm water recreational diving. which one will accomplish all of these types of diving?
Can an extra second stage be purchased with this regulator set?
Hello Mike, are you looking for a alt air source or are you looking for the same 2nd stage. If your looking for an alt air source you can find them at: http://www.scuba.com/scuba-gear-33/Octos-Spare-Air.html. If your looking for the same 2nd stage then yes we can get it for you. That would be a special order item that you would need to call us at 1.800.347.2822 to help you place this order.
Auxiliary Emergency Breathing Systems and the new European Standard Our new XTX regulators are the first in the world to meet this major Safety Standard.
The Apeks XTX200 topped independent regulator reviews and was respected as one of the best regulators in the world. To improve on this was not an easy task. Our new XTX200 takes all that is good from its predecessor and offers even more. Not only has the regulator been brought right up to date with stunning looks but we have also made functional improvements. The 1st stage has been redesigned to offer improved gas flow which now enables this to accept a 5th port (pictured right, not included as standard). The 2nd stage is now manufactured with active protection against infection as all moulded parts are produced with an additive that kills MRSA, protects against E-Coli, bacteria and fungi, and is also very effective against viruses, mould, yeast and algae. One of the new features is a purge button that is larger for easier diver use and also now offers a dual flow rate purge for different operations. We have also redesigned the diver adjustable controls with improved ergonomics on the Venturi lever and the Cracking Resistance Control. Every aspect of the new XTX200 has been thought about to bring the whole unit together so that it not only performs exceptionally well but also looks the part.

The XTX200 can be converted from a right handed hose configuration (as supplied from the APEKS factory) to a left handed one. This regulator also features a Reversible Venturi System (RVS). Changing the regulator to a left handed configuration is both quick and simple and can be performed by any APEKS Authorised Service Technician.
The 2nd stage of the XTX200 features the Diver Changeable Exhaust System (DCE) giving divers the ability to change from a small to a large exhaust. It offers the user a choice of the wider exhaust tee for minimal bubble interference (great for underwater photography) and the narrow exhaust tee for a smaller compact comfortable regulator (ideal for travel). The exhausts are made from strong, yet light-weight material, essential for the diving environment. We supply different coloured mouthpieces and exhausts for regulator individualisation, useful when using multiple regulators with different mixes.
This new XTX200 incorporates a new design of front cover manufactured using high strength materials which protect the most vulnerable part of the demand valve. Quality chrome plated metallic features immediately identify this regulator as a top of the range model.
The design of the purge button has improved even further than its predecessor. The original XTX200 improved on the purge itself. Due to the open design the purge was self clearing and prevented debris build-up. All this is still evident in the new model but with added benefits. The purge button is now larger for easier operation and also offers a dual flow rate purge.
The new Venturi lever still reduces the amount of grit ingress and therefore resists any possible friction giving a smooth operation. The new version has been re-designed with improved ergonomics.
A swivel hose connection is available at an extra cost. This allows the demand valve end of the hose connection to rotate and pivot, providing a more comfortable fit.
The silicone exhaust valve of the XTX200 improves breathing performance.
Weight: Yoke 1272g ... DIN 1142g
The graph below shows the breathing cycle of the Apeks XTX200 regulator at 0.56 J/L. Performance is calculated by plotting and recording this cycle. The inhalation line begins on the right hand side and runs along the bottom to the left. The first oscillation (termed the cracking spike) represents the effort required to initially open the valve and begin air delivery. Even at the testing depth of 50 metres the graph shows the low Work Of Breathing (WOB), indicating the diver is expending almost no energy in maintaining air flow. The cycle continues and the upper line (left to right) represents the WOB whilst exhaling (greater due to increased gas density at depth). The total WOB is calculated by measuring the total area within the loop.

2012 National Roadster Show - Revival of the FittestWritten by on August 29, 2013 Contributors: R&C Staff Traditional Is Most Beautiful
It may have rained in Southern California for much of the weekend of the Grand National Roadster Show, but inside the eight buildings that house the event at Pomona's Fairplex, spectators and participants could enjoy the "Aloha" theme of this year's show.
Thanks to the modern wonders of social media, there seemed to be more buzz than ever over who would win the America's Most Beautiful Roadster trophy, or was it simply that there was a very real possibility that a truly traditional roadster might actually win? Thankfully, it seems the days of excessive displays are over, while the cars in competition were all very much driveable. The change in judging criteria three years ago has, in this scribe's eyes at least, vastly improved the competition.
But the show is more than just the AMBR, and more than just roadsters, despite the name; this year a whole building was dedicated to woodies and wagons, and another purely for early style drag cars. Of course, customs played a major role, along with the Suede Palace, motorcycles, lowriders, muscle cars, and street rods. Question is, has traditional become the new contemporary? Time will tell!
America's Most beautiful Roadster:
John Mumford's Kelly Brown' 27 T
If you've been wondering if a truly traditional hot rod could ever again win the America's Most Beautiful Roadster title, this January those wishes became reality when John Mumford's '27 T took that prestigious honor. Originally started by well-known metal-maestro Steve Davis for Kelly Brown (hence the car described as the "Kelly Brown T" on Mumford's show card) with a Donovan four-cylinder engine, and receiving further work by SO-CAL Speed Shop and Pete Eastwood, when Mumford purchased the project, the build moved to Roy Brizio Street Rods. Mumford already possessed a V8-60 with a super-rare Ardun conversion setup, but as of yet had no car in which to install it. Out came the Donovan, and in went the V8-60. The dropped I-beam made way for an original tube axle, rare Kinmont brakes went on each corner, and a Halibrand Culver City quick-change went under the rear, as the project moved forward using only original parts. With a Sid Chavers interior and paint by Darryl Hollenbeck, the T put Mumford's name on the 9-foot trophy for 2013. Check out www.roybriziostreetrods.com to see how the T came together.

Thee Inland Emperors were back at Pomona for the second year running, this time with club member John Gunsaulis' '28 roadster pickup. Under construction for 10 years, the original body was modified in the rear, the bed discarded, and the cowl peaked. It runs a Columbia two-speed rearend, '39 trans, and a Flathead. With a strong early Ford influence, many of the parts are CAD designed and handmade.Rad Rides by Troy is garnering quite a reputation for race cars these days, and the Mariani '34 will only bolster that reputation. Not only is the roadster amazingly detailed, but it's already run over 200 mph at Bonneville, and taken the record in its class.Dave Simard's East Coast Custom shop was responsible for the V-8 Flyer, owned by Lincoln sales and marketing executive Jim Farley. The concept was to build what a '50s Indy car crew chief might have driven if he'd built a roadster. Simard crafted the valve covers to disguise the modern 4.6L Ford V-8, while the suspension is nickel plated.Lompoc's Gil Muro owns this 301 Chevy and T-10 four speed-powered '34 coupe, responsibility for that wicked chop and paint lost to time, though we do know G&D Upholstery in Muro's hometown upholstered the five-window."The Tub" is Joe Cane's '28 A phaeton built entirely by himself. It features mechanical fuel injection on a totally chromed small-block Chevy, exposed perfect sheetmetal interior panels, and a Plexiglas floor. The only upholstery—and the only thing not black or chrome—is on the seats. Cane brought the insanely detailed tub from New South Wales, Australia.One of only three full-fendered cars to enter this year, Harold and Tracy Chapman's '33 roadster is dubbed "Bitter Sweet", and runs a Roush 427 and Tremec TKO600 trans. Built at Customs and Hot Rods of Andice, TX, from a Jimmy Smith rendering, and using a Steve's Auto Restorations body, the highlight for many was the one-off wheels.
With a handbuilt DeLey body atop a Pinkee's chassis, and Kugel Komponents front and rear independent suspension, Squeeg's Kustoms built the Shotgun Roadster for Cole Wolfswinkel. The Boss 429 was originally a spare Holman-Moody NASCAR engine.Harold Victor's Tucci Hot Rods–built '32 roadster features a blown ZL1 engine, independent rear, and coilover-suspended tube axle behind the "thinned" grille shell.Jack Stewart customized his '41 Ford in 1948, chopping and channeling it in his backyard, before Gil and Al Ayala re-chopped it and added full fadeaways. Barris Kustom then finished and painted the coupe bronze before it was sold, then wrecked by a subsequent owner. It was eventually rebuilt in 1972 and sold to a museum. Palle Johansen bought it when the museum closed and took it home to Denmark to restore it to its 1951 guise."Royal Victoria" is Kelly Skipper's chopped '51 Ford Vicky with paint and body by Marty LeBar and upholstery by Eduardo's. Mark Skipper built the car using '53 Chevy grille teeth mated to the stock grille.John D'Agostino's tribute to Sophia Loren, aptly named "Sophia", is a '40 Cadillac featuring body and paintwork by Oz Customs and upholstery by Divine's Custom Interiors.All the way from New South Wales, Australia, came Justin Hills' "Atom" '60 Dodge Dart, competing in the Radical Hardtop class.
