2010 NSRA Louisville Nationals - Muscle At The Nats!Written by Johnny Hunkins on January 1, 2011 Contributors: Robert McGaffin For The First Time In History, The NSRA Invited Muscle Cars To The Louisville Nationals-And Gearheads Answered The Call!
While other street rod organizations have loosened their grip to allow newer cars into their shows, the National Street Rod Association has been the lone holdout in hosting street rod-only events in recent years. For traditional rodders, that fact has been a selling point for attending NSRA events. The thinking is, if your members don't care about cars built after 1948, why let 'em through the gate? As it turns out, some members do care about more "modern" muscle cars, and that's the disagreement: You have your rod-only purists in pitched verbal battle with more "liberal" muscle car lovers. At the end of the day, these guys don't actually hate one another, they just want to ride in style!
The disagreement over which year cars make the best event has finally stopped being a theoretical one. When the NSRA began letting cars built as recently as 1980 (!) into their 2010 show series, the die was cast. This culminated at the Street Rod Nationals in Louisville, Kentucky, this past August 6-8. Popular Hot Rodding hasn't covered this event in recent memory due to the advanced age of the clientele (we're talking the cars here-no letters please!), but we couldn't book our airfare quick enough when we found out about the open invitation to our beloved muscle machines. We fantasized about the '60s classics we'd see, then got giddy that late-'70s machines could pass through the gate without being forcibly restrained by security. Wow! This Street Rod Nats thing had potential.
When we arrived, we not only saw throngs of muscle cars-they behaved as if they'd been coming for years-we also got an extra treat with the manufacturer's midway. OK, that's an understatement. The manufacturers who attend the Nats are set up in the main exhibition hall at the Kentucky Exhibition Center, which has nearly a million square feet of air-conditioned floor space. When it comes to hot rod and muscle car parts, the Street Rod Nats rivals the biggest industry trade shows for quantity and quality. The big difference is that you don't have to be a member of the trade to attend the NSRA Street Rod Nats-anybody can join in, and boy, did they!
We made the best out of our three days there, but honestly thought we could've spent an entire week there. In one sense, we were thoroughly unprepared for the enormity of the event. Not realizing the size of the manufacturer's exhibit hall, we figured we would spend a few hours there, and then meander into the car show for the meat of the show. That turned out to be a big miscalculation. (Plan on at least a full day of your trip being indoors if you go.) Your best bet is to think of it as Woodstock on wheels. When we tried to imagine it with an autocross venue, it nearly caused an aneurism. (We mean that in the best way possible.)
As younger gearheads and car builders filter into the hobby, we see more cars being built with the street rod ethic, meaning lots of attention to detail, uncompromised engineering, and a keener eye on design. And it's not just about cruising the burger stand or straight-line performance either. Today's muscle is not only fit for the highway, it can hold its own on a road course or autocross. All these elements come together at a place like the Street Rod Nats! Would you like fries with that too?

Builder Joe Brown of Lafayette, Louisiana, got the best of both worlds when he melded the blown 4.6L mill and six-speed manual trans from a Cobra Mustang with the classic lines of a '67 Mustang. With a custom IFS, huge Wilwoods, and a triangulated four-link out back, this thing is begging to be shot for a magazine feature. We're looking into it!Bill Boyziden liked the work of Hot Rod Joe's Rod & Custom so much, he commissioned them to build his '63 Corvette. The classic lines were preserved, but the classic poor handling was ditched in favor of that from a modern C4 Corvette suspension. Power comes from a 430hp LS3 mated to a 4L60E.When it comes to car shows, you can pretty much guarantee they will be a hit if the Mothers trailer is there. If Mothers endorsee Chip Foose is there signing autographs, you can pretty much count on a packed house too. We see Foose in so many places, sometimes we wonder if there are more than one of him.I should probably tell you about Detroit Speed & Engineering's new line of first-gen Chevy II suspension stuff, or their new line of billet wheels that was designed by Bonspeed, but this time I'll just tell you how great DSE's Stacy Tucker is. I can always count on an ice-cold diet Cheerwine or Sundrop whenever I stop by their trailer. It's a Southern thing.The Ringbrothers are coming on strong, and they had their recent '64 Ford Fairlane creation, Afterburner, on hand for showgoers. But the big news is that Ringbrothers is now offering many of their custom billet parts-the same ones designed for their award-winning vehicles-to regular guys via their new catalog. It's a trend that's growing among the top builders.Running a photo of PHR publisher Ed Zinke's '64 Chevelle convertible might sound like sucking up to the boss, but ever since he put those gorgeous 18-inch Wheel Vintiques steelies on it, it's been rocking out hard. Zinke did all the mechanical work on it himself, with the exception of the paint. What's more, Zinke drove it all the way to Kentucky from California, a grin plastered to his face the whole way, no doubt. Show visitors were able to check it out at the Source Interlink Media booth in the main exhibition hall.It takes a real man to paint a car yellow. If you do it, you better be packing some heat, and that's just what this '69 Camaro Trans-Am clone does with a high-compression race-spec 302, Muncie M-22, and vintage Cragar S/S wheels. We found it hanging out at the Cragar booth, and discovered that it was built to compete in the Vintage Racer/Historic Trans-Am series.Look familiar? That's the G-Force 'Cuda that graced our April '06 cover. This bad boy was built by Alan Johnson of Johnson's Hot Rod Shop (Gadsden, Alabama), and is now the closely guarded property of Doug Cooper. Four years after it was built, we've yet to find a more elegantly designed, more technologically advanced hot rod.
A year ago, it would be unthinkable for owner Glenn Lee to bring his homebuilt '70 Plymouth Road Runner to the Street Rod Nats, but here he is with his 440 Six-Pack four-speed car. We dig the '80s vibe with the two-tone gold graphics, Cragar S/S wheels, gold anodized radiator, and gold trim in the engine bay.Joe Wood says he built his '65 Chevelle Malibu 300 the way the factory shoulda-with a 572ci big-block crate engine! Back in the day, it would've run rings around the rare Z16 big-block it most closely resembles. Check out how Wood tried to keep things very factory-looking underhood. Those 15-inch tires have got to be screaming uncle!Some street rods are closer to muscle cars, and Tommy Manner's '33 Dodge pickup certainly qualifies. Where to start? Manner built his own 20-inch truck wheels. The truck's bed tilts-more to gain access to the engine's radiator and various coolers than anything else. Oh, and you can see the 392-inch Hemi through the grille, because the radiator isn't there anymore. This thing is completely off the hook!Our Laguna of the Month is brought to you by Jim McGrew of Morton, Illinois. McGrew has owned this '74 Chevy Laguna for the past 31 years, which explains its somewhat dated wheels and graphics. It's all cool though, because this time capsule has a survivor vibe, right down to the original '80 Car Craft Nationals sticker on the window. McGrew says he took the car there, and it looked almost the same then as it does now!The '60 Chevy Bel Air is arguably the best-looking fullsize Chevy ever built, and possibly even the sleekest style to come out of GM between 1957 and 1964. Owner Todd Jones placed the build in the capable hands of David Birkhofer of Muscatine, Iowa. We dig the dog-dish steelies and Chili Pepper Red Pearlcoat paint. After seeing this, we could easily see doing a '60 project car with bigger meats, overdrive, and LS power.Bill Rowe has really taken the Gasser ethic to heart with his '64 Mustang! This thing is loaded with enough vintage stuff to move the hands of the clock back 45 years. Among the goodies: an original set of Casler 30x8 slicks, a teardrop hood, a '67 Econoline straight axle (narrowed), a Top Loader trans, a Hillborn scoop, vintage decals, a Moon fuel tank, traction bars, and a parachute. Rowe says the 428 Cobra Jet plant is good for about 750 hp, and he expects the pony to run low 11s or high 10s once he finally gets up the nerve. (Hint to his wife, Jeanette: Now's a good time to take out that life insurance policy. Did you see those rear tires?!)
Tim Strange built this '63 Ford Falcon Sprint with an industrial theme in mind-notice how there is nothing chromed or polished anywhere? Once the show circuit is complete, Strange and owner Ryan Thomas have hinted that they might autocross and drag race their baby. With a custom suspension all around and a 4.6L Cobra engine underhood, it should be a rewarding experience.

Promote Your Band Rules: READ BEFORE POSTING (Updated)
What is this forum for?
This forum is for the promotion of YOUR band.
What isn't this forum for?
This forum is not for promoting your band promoting services, song promotion, musician ads, gear ads, or vote-for-me requests. It is simply for promoting your band.
What constitutes a band? Can I post my one man bands?
Yes, you may post one man bands. You may post electronic projects, solo acoustic projects, etc. Any kind of one man band is acceptable, as long as it is taken seriously to some degree.
1. Post only YOUR band.
Do not post your friends band or that local band down the street. You must be musically affiliated with the band you post. In a permanent manner, don't post if you've only guest appeared.
2. Do NOT bump your thread.
Bumping is spam. Spam will be deleted. Spammers will be warned. If nobody is replying, tough luck.
Posting news on your band is NOT considered bumping. So if you have a new song, a new website, etc., feel free to post in your thread about it! But posts such as, "Anyone else?", "Bump", "Nobody?" etc. will result in deletion and a warning and/or banning.
3. ONE thread only.
Same as bumping only the exceptions to the bump rule do not apply. If your band has news, put it in your already-existent thread. No new threads on your band at all, period.
4. Constructive criticism only.
"You suck, your band sucks, lol gtfo newb" is NOT constructive. If you have nothing helpful to say, leave the thread. Insulting/arguing WILL result in a warning and/or banning.
5. Do NOT post single songs.
We have other forums for that. This is for overall promotion of bands, not promotion of single songs. If you wish to post single songs, do that in the following forums:
Original Recordings
Songwriting and Lyrics
6. Do NOT post Vote-For-Me threads.
We are not here to help you win a contest. If you are in some challenge that requires votes then you may utilize other features on this site to achieve it. Your profile and signature are two wonderful examples.
7. Do NOT post band name threads.
The ONLY BAND NAME THREAD is now a sticky in the Bandleading subforum . You may discuss them in that thread.
8. Accept criticism with grace.
Don't get pissed cause someone doesn't like your band. If they flame you with rude comments that were intended to upset you, then report it. Please don't argue.
Follow these rules and you'll be fine. If you break them then you're to blame for the consequences. If someone breaks one of these rules then REPORT IT. Reply with *reported* and then move on. Do not argue with the person because I will have to warn you, too.
Remember, every time you report something, a mod gets his wings. Or something.
Additional thoughts:
- Be a pal and rate some of the bands that you listen to. Ever notice that you can rate threads? Use that feature to rate the band on a scale of one to five.
- Consider following this form for the title of your thread.
Band Name - Genre - LocationYou are more likely to attract an audience if you can snag their attention with something neat and clean rather than a mess saying "u listen 2 me! i have band".
- Retrieving feedback is normally achieved by delivering feedback. It's a common courtesy. You do something for someone and they will most likely pay back the favor. If you don't seem to be getting any critiques, try it out. It fosters community.
-Use the stick thread button. Have you noticed the personal sticky feature? You can use it to help to keep track of your own thread (or those of your favorite UG bands). If you stick your own thread it keeps you from having to search whenever you want to update your thread with news. Plus, it cuts down on the possibility of your thread getting closed and you getting warned for not following the rules.
-Use the report button. Did you see something violating the rules? An advertising thread? Someone that you know has made a thread about their band before? Someone flaming another user's band? Report it! It makes my life easier and this place better for you because you won't have people making new threads about their band and knocking yours down.
-Be courteous. It was stated in the rules above but it needs to be slammed into your brains for you to comprehend how important it is. Nobody is going to listen to a person who can not carry a positive attitude. Bullies and schmucks are not welcome and will be punished accordingly.
If you have questions about the rules, or even suggestions to improve this forum, feel free to PM me. I'm usually pretty quick to answer.
Thanks to Slut, LazyGuitar, marchoso and others for their contributions.

Brooklyn, NY (Sports Network) - Down the stretch, Joe Johnson single-handedly
brought the Nets out from the jaws of defeat.
He hit a tough 3-pointer late in regulation to send the game to overtime and
then went on to bury the game-winner as time expired to give Brooklyn a
113-111 victory over the Milwaukee Bucks on Tuesday at Barclays Center.
Johnson scored 24 points on 10-of-18 shooting and Deron Williams added 19
points with nine assists as the Nets came out of the All-Star break to collect
their third straight win.
Brook Lopez added 19 points and nine boards in the triumph, which helped the
Nets end a 13-game losing streak to Milwaukee.
Brandon Jennings had a game-high 34 points and Ersan Ilyasova contributed 21
points and nine rebounds, but the Bucks dropped their fifth game in six tries.
Larry Sanders returned from a four-game absence and totaled 14 points, eight
boards and six blocks in the setback.

Growing up it was my dream to be a kindergarten teacher. I am one of the lucky ones who is living my dream. I taught kindergarten for 25+ years and have loved every day! I tell people I need to stay in a grade where I may still know more than the students! :) I retired at the end of the 2012 school year. TpT allows me to continue to do what I love and spend time with my family at the same time. The best of both worlds!
I was structured because I feel there is safety for students in that teaching style. They know the routine and what to expect. However, I also had a hands-on classroom where the students were engaged in meaningful activities. I love my SMARTboard and so did my students. Most four and five year olds enter the classroom with a knowledge of technology and the SMARTboard is simply an extension of the knowledge.

Proposal D
To enter your comments, click on the link where you want to comment. Always log in before editing a section.
Click here to get to 5JSC LC 12 Proposed revision of ch. 6 Additional instructions for musical works and expressions page in the wiki
D. Proposed revision of draft 6.17.1
General comment about the explanatory text (no specific changes needed in the proposed RDA instructions): At the end of the 1st paragraph, LC states, "Adaptations appear last in this section because they are expressions." I have two issues with this statement:
1) If that's the case, the instructions should not be in 6.17.1, because the title of that section is "Preferred access point representing a musical work," and LC does not propose changing the title of this section of RDA.
2) The actual text of the instructions for adaptations of musical works (LC modified 188.8.131.52, edited from draft RDA 184.108.40.206) specifically addresses adaptations that result in new works.
This is one of the examples of FRBR confusion in this document. - Glennan 2/25/08
Agree with LC's position on language consistency for "the preferred access point for..." - Glennan 2/25/08
Disagree with the division in 188.8.131.52.1 a & b of instrumental music vs. collaborative works. These are not mutually exclusive categories. Instrumental music can be collaborative; the vocal music described in 18.104.22.168 can encompass a work where the words and music were created by the same individual. Thus, I recommend changing 220.127.116.11.1a to "Musical works created by one composer." - Glennan 2/25/08
At one level, with LC's revision of this section, it makes sense to remove 126.96.36.199.3, with the backward reference to the beginning of this chapter. However, there are "general" rules in Chapter 6 that do apply to music materials. Without this backward reference, would that still be the case? - Glennan 2/25/08
Disagree with removal of forward reference to arrangements contained in 22.214.171.124.6. This would need to refer to a different instruction in the context of LC/12, 188.8.131.52, "Arrangements, transcriptions, etc." I believe the rest of the instruction could be reinstated. - Glennan 2/25/08
I believe there are serious structural flaws in LC's proposed 126.96.36.199, in relation to instrumental music vs. collaborative works (as noted above). I recommend that it be rewritten as follows:
220.127.116.11. Musical works created by one composer
If one composer is responsible for creating the musical work, construct the preferred access point representing the work by combining (in this order):
a) the preferred access point for the composer, formulated according to the guidelines and instructions given under 9.1.1, 10.1.1, or 11.1.1, as applicable
b) the preferred title for the work, formulated according to the instructions given under 6.18.
Examples of when a composer wrote both the music & the words include Scott Joplin's opera Treemonisha and Peter Maxwell Davies' The turn of the tide. Include at least one example along these lines in this section.
- Glennan 2/26/08
Introductory paragraph(s): I disagree with LC's statement that "As a separate 'book,' librettos are presently treated in RDA as an expression." A separately published libretto without reference to its musical setting would have a preferred access point using the name of the librettist, not the composer. That means we'd be cataloging this as a *work*. - Glennan 2/26/08
Text of LC 188.8.131.52.1: Agree with general concept behind changes. However, if the "bibliographic universe" is divided between works by 1 composer and musical works that are collaborative (as I recommend elsewhere), this instruction would need to be reworded to take collaborative instrumental works into account (although these are rare, they do exist). - Glennan 2/28/08
Agree with suggested changes. - Glennan 2/26/08
As LC notes, the numbering has expanded here to place these rules in a logical hierarchy. However, I am concerned about the expansion of the numbering scheme to a five-number instruction both here and in LC's proposed 22.214.171.124. The RDA numbering is hard enough to reference without errors in the current four-number scheme. - Glennan 2/26/08
Agree with change from "song" to "excerpt" in LC's number 188.8.131.52.3.1d.1. - Glennan 2/26/08
To address my ongoing concern about excerpts from such a work all by one composer, I suggest the following text:
22.214.171.124.3c.1 If the work is a compilation of musical excerpts from a pasticcio, ballad opera, etc., and the excerpts are all by the same composer, use the preferred access point for the work from which the excerpts were taken. Construct the preferred access point for the work the work by combining (in this order):
a) the preferred access point for the composer of the excerpts, formulated according to the guidelines and instructions given under 9.1.1, 10.1.1, or 11.1.1, as applicable
b) the preferred title for the work, formulated according to the instructions given under 6.18.
Handel, George Frideric, 1685-1759. Muzio Scaevola (Preferred access point for: Muzio Scevola : opera : atto terzo / di G.F. Händel. Act 3 by Handel)
126.96.36.199.3c.2 If the work is a compilation of musical excerpts from a pasticcio, ballad opera, etc., and the excerpts are by multiple composers or the composer is unknown, record the preferred title following the instructions given under 6.18.4.
I would like to give Beggar's wedding as an example for the last instruction above, but since I would prefer it be qualified by "Selections" and that's not currently authorized in RDA, I'm not quite sure how to construct the example.
-- Glennan 2/26/08
Agree with change from "musical setting for" to "musical work composed for choreographed movement such as..." - Glennan 2/26/08
D.7. Draft RDA 22.214.171.124
Disagree with LC's recommendation to delete this instruction. Although such compilations should be addressed by the more general rules in 126.96.36.199, 8 other instructions in chapter 6 about compilations are also constructed in the manner of RDA 184.108.40.206. For example, see 18.104.22.168.1 or 126.96.36.199.1. All of these instructions should be treated in the same way -- the special music instruction needs to be considered in the fuller context of the chapter. - Glennan 2/28/08
D.8. New RDA 188.8.131.52
Background statement: Strongly agree with LC's preference not to use the word "arrangements" when referring to adaptations. The use of this term should be restricted to expressions, and not used for works within the RDA context. - Glennan 2/26/08
LC and the Music Library Association had similar concerns about this draft section of RDA. I prefer MLA's take on this (also reported in the comments on Sections 2-4, 9), which I've pasted below with a few additional edits on my part (these use the RDA draft numbering instead of the LC/12 numbering; placement can certainly be reconsidered):
18.104.22.168 Adaptations of musical works
18.104.22.168.1 Follow the instructions given below for an adaptation or revision of a previously existing musical work that substantially changes the nature and content of that work. Consider such adaptations or revisions to be new works, including:
a) modifications described as freely transcribed, based on, etc., and other modifications incorporating new material
b) paraphrases of works or of the general style of another composer
c) modifications in which the harmony or musical style of the original has been changed
d) performances of a compilation of musical works by more than one composer that involve substantial creative responsibility for adaptation, improvisation, etc., on the part of the performer(s)
188.8.131.52.2 Construct the preferred access point for the adaptation by combining (in this order):
a) the preferred access point for the composer of the adaptation, formulated according to the guidelines and instructions given under 9.1.1, 10.1.1, or 11.1.1, as applicable
b) the preferred title for the new work, formulated according to the instructions given under 6.18.
Tausig, Carl, 1841-1871. Nouvelles soirées de Vienne (Preferred access point for: Nouvelles soirées de Vienne : valses-caprices d'après J. Strauss / Ch. Tausig)
Rachmaninoff, Sergei, 1873-1943. Rapsodie sur un thème de Paganini (Preferred access point for: Rapsodie sur un thème de Paganini : pour piano et orchestre, op. 43 / S. Rachmaninoff)
Wuorinen, Charles. Magic art (Preferred access point for: The magic art : an instrumental masque drawn from works of Henry Purcell, 1977-1978 : in two acts / Charles Wuorinen)
Bennett, David. Swing low, sweet chariot (Preferred access point for: Swing low, sweet chariot (spiritual) : quartet for B♭ clarinets / arranged by David Bennett)
220.127.116.11.3 If two or more composers have collaborated in the adaptation, follow the instructions given under 220.127.116.11.
220.127.116.11.4 In case of doubt about whether the modifications result in a new work or in a new expression of the previously existing work, treat the modifications as a new expression (see 184.108.40.206).
(Note: this last rule reference may need to be reconsidered in light of the other changes being made to the special music instructions section.)
Note also that the proposed text above removes the instruction numbered in RDA as 22.214.171.124.4 (AKA LC's 188.8.131.52.4). The whole concept about how these RDA instructions apply to world/traditional/folk music is extremely difficult & complex.
-- Glennan 2/26/08
LC has not defined "distinctive title" and apparently assumes this will be included in the Glossary. My recollection is that the Glossary will only include terms that have a special meaning in RDA. The 1st definition of distinctive in the American Heritage Dictionary is "Serving to identify; distinguishing." This seems clear enough that a separate Glossary entry would not be required. However, the phrase "distinctive title" still offers some ambiguities. For example, Thomas Tallis wrote two pieces entitled "Lamentations." Under the current terminology in AACR2, it's clear that "lamentations" is not a type of composition. However, with LC's revised instructions using "distinctive title" instead, it's less obvious where "lamentations" falls -– it's certainly not distinctive in Tallis' oeuvre. Thus both the old (AACR2) and proposed (LC/12) phrases need further explanation in the instructions. The interpretation of whether or not Tallis' Lamentations are distinctive or not affects the inclusion of medium of performance in the preferred access point (used for non-distinctive titles per LC's 188.8.131.52; not necessarily used for distinctive titles, per LC's 220.127.116.11).
The Music Library Association maintains a list of types of composition on the Internet (http://www.library.yale.edu/cataloging/music/types.htm); the current list contains nearly 900 terms and cross references; over 300 of these name types of composition. LC's proposed clarification would not necessarily make this list obsolete, but that web site would require substantial revision if the JSC accepts LC's recommendation here.
Additionally, although LC suggests that "type of composition" should just be a useful phrase instead of a formal term (see Goal #7 on the 1st page of LC/12, that wording appears in the following (LC revised) instructions:
- 18.104.22.168c.2.a
- 22.214.171.124c.2.b
- 184.108.40.206.2
- 6.18.1
- 184.108.40.206
- 126.96.36.199.2
- 22.214.171.124.1
I do not believe the benefits of this terminology change outweigh the benefits of carrying forward the AACR2 practice in to RDA. LC's change of terminology recommendation is not fully implemented in LC/12. Thus I recommend that this change away from using "types of composition" not be implemented in the first publication of RDA. It may be worth considering at a later date, when the absence of pressing deadlines would allow further exploration of the benefits and drawbacks of such a change.
-- Glennan 2/26/08
Partly agree with proposed revision of caption to 22.214.171.124 (LC's numbering); with the following substitution reflecting my opinion about removing "distinctive title" (stated above):
126.96.36.199: Additions to access points representing musical works
Retain the old working of LC's 184.108.40.206.1 (RDA 188.8.131.52.1); check for the correct reference after final JSC discussion to RDA 18.104.22.168.
-- Glennan 2/26/08
Generally agree with LC's proposal to move all actual instructions for adding elements (medium of performance, numeric designation, key + the exceptions to these) out of 6.17.1 and placing them together elsewhere, while still retaining the basic instruction (RDA 18.104.22.168/LC's 184.108.40.206). The current RDA draft placement of some of these types of instructions with "constructing access points" while other appear under "preferred titles" is confusing. - Glennan 2/26/08
D.11. Draft RDA 18.104.22.168
Disagree about removing the text of RDA 18.104.22.168 and placing it in 184.108.40.206. (See my comments under the earlier rule.) - Glennan 2/26/08
D.12. Draft RDA 188.8.131.52
Agree with the proposed deletion, with the understanding that the appropriate instructions remain in RDA somewhere. - Glennan 2/26/08

Medical/dental care provided at an IHS or tribal health care facility is called Direct Care. The CHS Program is for medical/dental care provided away from an IHS or tribal health care facility. CHS is not an entitlement program and an IHS referral does not imply the care will be paid. If IHS is requested to pay, then a patient must meet the residency requirements, notification requirements, medical priority, and use of alternate resources.
All AI/AN should be aware of the following requirements each time he/she is referred or requests IHS to pay for medical care away from an IHS or tribal health care facility.

The majority of sports injuries are caused by minor trauma involving muscles, ligaments, and/or tendons, including:
Contusions (bruises)
The most commonly sprained or strained joint is the ankle.
The 3 ligaments involved in ankles sprains or strains include the following:
Anterior talofibular ligament
Posterior talofibular ligament
Calcaneofibular ligament
Sprains or strains are uncommon in younger children because their growth plates (areas of bone growth located in the ends of long bones) are weaker than the muscles or tendons. Instead, children are prone to fractures.
A contusion (bruise) is an injury to the soft tissue often produced by a blunt force such as a kick, fall, or blow. The immediate result will be pain, swelling, and discoloration.
A sprain is a wrenching or twisting injury or tear to a ligament. Sprains often affect the ankles, knees, or wrists.
A strain is an injury to a muscle or tendon, and is often caused by overuse, force, or stretching.
Your adolescent's doctor makes the diagnosis with a physical examination. During the examination, the doctor obtains a complete medical history of your adolescent and asks how the injury occurred.
Diagnostic procedures may also help evaluate the problem. Diagnostic procedures may include:
X-rays. A diagnostic test that uses invisible electromagnetic energy beams to produce images of internal tissues, bones, and organs onto film.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). A diagnostic procedure that uses a combination of large magnets, radiofrequencies, and a computer to produce detailed images of organs and structures within the body.
Computed tomography scan (also called a CT or CAT scan). A diagnostic imaging procedure that uses a combination of X-rays and computer technology to produce horizontal, or axial, images (often called slices) of the body. A CT scan shows detailed images of any part of the body, including the bones, muscles, fat, and organs. CT scans are more detailed than general X-rays.
The following are the most common symptoms of a sprain or strain. However, each adolescent may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms may include:
Pain in the injured area
Swelling in the injured area
Difficulty using or moving the injured area in a normal manner (Your adolescent may have limited use or may not use the injured area at all. Your adolescent may walk with a limp if the injury occurred in the hip, leg, ankle, or foot area.)
Warmth, bruising, or redness in the injured area
The symptoms of a sprain or strain may resemble other conditions. Always consult your adolescent's doctor for a diagnosis.
Specific treatment for a sprain or strain will be determined by your adolescent's doctor based on:
Your adolescent's age, overall health, and medical history
Extent of the injury
Your adolescent's tolerance for specific medications, procedures, or therapies
Expectations for the course of the condition
Your opinion or preference
Initial treatment for a sprain or strain includes R.I.C.E. (rest, ice, compression, and elevation). Other treatment options may include:
Medications such as ibuprofen
Activity restrictions
Splint or cast
Crutches or wheelchair
Physical therapy (to stretch and strengthen the injured muscles, ligaments, and tendons)
Surgery (especially if the injury is reoccurring or if a muscle, tendon, or ligament is badly torn)
Be sure to consult your adolescent's doctor if there is a prolonged, visible deformity of the affected area, or if severe pain prevents use of arm, leg, wrist, ankle, or knee.
According to the American Academy of Pediatrics Council on Sports Medicine and Fitness, children and adolescents who regularly participate in sports activities may develop microtraumatic damage to a muscle, bone, or tendon that is repeatedly stressed and does not have time to heal naturally. This cumulative damage is known as an overuse injury. The injury is called microtrauma because it may not appear on X-ray, but it can affect the overall health and development of the child or adolescent. Overuse injuries are classified in 4 stages:
Pain in the affected area after physical activity
Pain during the activity, without restricting performance
Pain during the activity, with restricted performance
Chronic pain that does not go away
The American Academy of Pediatrics includes the following in its recommendations to prevent overuse injuries in young athletes:
Reserve one to two days per week for rest from competitive sports and training.
Take breaks of at least two to three months away from a specific sport during the course of a year.
Emphasize that sports participation should be focused on fun, skill-building, safety and sportsmanship.
Contusions, sprains, or strains heal quite quickly in children and adolescents. It is important that your teen adhere to the activity restrictions and/or stretching and strengthening rehabilitation programs to prevent reinjury.
Most sports injuries are due to either traumatic injury or overuse of muscles or joints. Many sports injuries can be prevented with proper conditioning and training, wearing appropriate protective gear, and using proper equipment.

Austrians are a homogeneous people; 92% are native German speakers. Only two numerically significant minority groups exist--18,000 Slovenes in Carinthia (south central Austria) and about 19,400 Croats in Burgenland (on the Hungarian border). The Slovenes form a closely-knit community. Their rights as well as those of the Croats are protected by law and generally respected in practice. The present boundaries of Austria, once the center of the Habsburg Empire that constituted the second-largest state in Europe, formed in accordance with the Treaty of St. Germain in 1919. Some Austrians, particularly near Vienna, still have relatives in the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Hungary. About 74% of all Austrians are Roman Catholic. The church abstains from political activity. Small Lutheran minorities are located mainly in Vienna, Carinthia, and Burgenland.
The Austro-Hungarian Empire played a decisive role in central European history. It occupied strategic territory containing the southeastern routes to western Europe and the north-south routes between Germany and Italy. Present-day Austria retains this unique position.
Soon after the Republic of Austria was created at the end of World War I, it faced the strains of catastrophic inflation and of adapting a large government structure to the needs of a new, smaller republic. In the early 1930s, worldwide depression and unemployment added to these strains and shattered traditional Austrian society. In 1933, Engelbert Dollfuss formed a conservative autocracy. In February 1934, civil war broke out between the conservative government and the Socialists, and the Dolfuss government outlawed the Socialist Party. In July, the National Socialists attempted a coup d'etat, assassinating Dollfuss. In March 1938, Germany occupied Austria and incorporated it into the German Reich. This development is commonly known as the "Anschluss" (annexation).
At the Moscow conference in 1943, the Allies declared their intention to liberate and reconstitute Austria. In April 1945, both Eastern- and Western-front Allied forces liberated the country. Subsequently, the victorious allies divided Austria into zones of occupation similar to those in Germany with a four-power administration of Vienna. Under the 1945 Potsdam agreements, the Soviets took control of German assets in their zone of occupation. These included 7% of Austria's manufacturing plants, 95% of its oil resources, and about 80% of its refinery capacity. The properties returned to Austria under the Austrian State Treaty. This treaty, signed in Vienna on May 15, 1955, came into effect on July 27, and, under its provisions, all occupation forces departed by October 25, 1955. Austria became free and independent for the first time since 1938.
The Austrian president convenes and concludes parliamentary sessions and under certain conditions can dissolve Parliament. However, no Austrian president has dissolved Parliament in the Second Republic. The custom is for Parliament to call for new elections if needed. The president requests a party leader, usually the leader of the strongest party, to form a government. Upon the recommendation of the Federal Chancellor, the president also appoints cabinet ministers.
The Federal Assembly (Parliament) consists of two houses--the National Council (Nationalrat), or lower house, and the Federal Council (Bundesrat), or upper house. Legislative authority resides in the National Council. Its 183 members serve for a maximum term of four years in a three-tiered system, on the basis of proportional representation. The National Council may dissolve itself by a simple majority vote or the president may dissolve it on the recommendation of the Chancellor. The nine state legislatures elect the 62 members of the Federal Council for 5- to 6-year terms. The Federal Council only reviews legislation passed by the National Council and can delay but not veto its enactment.
The highest courts of Austria's independent judiciary are the Constitutional Court; the Administrative Court, which handles bureaucratic disputes; and the Supreme Court, for civil and criminal cases. While the Supreme Court is the court of highest instance for the judiciary, the Administrative Court acts as the supervisory body over government administrative acts of the executive branch, and the Constitutional Court presides over constitutional issues. The Federal President appoints the justices of the three courts for specific terms.
The legislatures of Austria's nine Bundeslaender (states) elect the governors. Although most authority, including that of the police, rests with the federal government, the states have considerable responsibility for welfare matters and local administration. Strong state and local loyalties have roots in tradition and history.

Since World War II, Austria has enjoyed political stability. A Socialist elder statesman, Dr. Karl Renner, organized an Austrian administration in the aftermath of the war, and the country held general elections in November 1945. All three major parties--the conservative People's Party (OVP), the Socialists (later Social Democratic Party or SPO), and Communists--governed until 1947, when the Communists left the government. The OVP then led a governing coalition with the SPO that governed until 1966.
Between 1970 and 1999, the SPO governed the country either alone or with junior coalition partners. In 1999, the OVP formed a coalition with the right wing, populist Freedom Party (FPO). The SPO, which was the strongest party in the 1999 elections, and the Greens formed the opposition. The FPO had gained support because of populist tactics, and many feared it would represent right wing extremism. As a result, the European Union (EU) imposed a series of sanctions on Austria. The U.S. and Israel, as well as various other countries, also reduced contacts with the Austrian Government. After a period of close observation, the EU lifted sanctions, and the U.S. revised its contacts policy. In the 2002 elections, the OVP became the largest party, and the FPO's strength declined by more than half. Nevertheless, the OVP renewed its coalition with the FPO in February 2003. In national elections in October 2006, the SPO became the largest party, edging the OVP. On January 11, 2007, an SPO-led Grand Coalition took office, with the OVP as junior partner.
The Social Democratic Party traditionally draws its constituency from blue- and white-collar workers. Accordingly, much of its strength lies in urban and industrialized areas. In the 2006 national elections, it garnered 35.3% of the vote. In the past, the SPO advocated state involvement in Austria's key industries, the extension of social security benefits, and a full-employment policy. Beginning in the mid-1980s, it shifted its focus to free market-oriented economic policies, balancing the federal budget, and European Union membership.
The People's Party advocates conservative financial policies and privatization of much of Austria's nationalized industry. It finds support from farmers, large and small business owners, and some lay Catholic groups, mostly in the rural regions of Austria. In 2006, it received 34.3% of the vote. The Greens won 11.1% of the vote in 2006, becoming the third-largest party in parliament. The rightist Freedom Party traditionally had a base in classic European liberalism. However, after losing much of its support in the 2002 elections and suffering a split, the FPO won slightly more of the vote in 2006--11%--than it did in 2002, due to a populist, anti-immigration theme. The Alliance-Future-Austria (BZO) split from the FPO in 2005. All the FPO's Federal Ministers and most of its parliamentarians joined the BZO, and that party formally became the junior partner in the governing coalition. The BZO was unable to draw significant popular support away from the FPO, but managed to enter parliament in 2006 with 4.1% of the vote.
Austria has a well-developed social market economy with a high standard of living in which the government has played an important role. The government nationalized many of the country's largest firms in the early post-war period to protect them from Soviet takeover as war reparations. For many years, the government and its state-owned industries conglomerate played a very important role in the Austrian economy. However, starting in the early 1990s, the group broke apart, state-owned firms started to operate largely as private businesses, and the government wholly or partially privatized many of these firms. Although the government's privatization work in past years has been very successful, it still operates some firms, state monopolies, utilities, and services. The Schuessel government's privatization program further reduced government participation in the economy. The Gusenbauer government will not reverse privatizations, but does not plan to undertake any further privatizations. Austria enjoys well-developed industry, banking, transportation, services, and commercial facilities.
Some industries, such as several iron and steel works and chemical plants, are large industrial enterprises employing thousands of people. However, most industrial and commercial enterprises in Austria are relatively small on an international scale.
Austria has a strong labor movement. The Austrian Trade Union Federation (OGB) comprises constituent unions with a total membership of about 1.4 million--about 40% of the country's wage and salary earners. Since 1945, the OGB has pursued a moderate, consensus-oriented wage policy, cooperating with industry, agriculture, and the government on a broad range of social and economic issues in what is known as Austria's "social partnership." The OGB opposed the Schuessel government's program for budget consolidation, social reform, and fiscal measures that favor entrepreneurs. However, because of a scandal involving a bank the OGB owned, the OGB lost much of its political influence in the SPO.
Austrian farms, like those of other west European mountainous countries, are small and fragmented, and production is relatively expensive. Since Austria became a member of the EU in 1995, the Austrian agricultural sector has been undergoing substantial reform under the EU's common agricultural policy (CAP). Although Austrian farmers provide about 80% of domestic food requirements, the agricultural contribution to gross domestic product (GDP) has declined since 1950 to about 2%.
Austria has achieved sustained economic growth. During the 1950s, the average annual growth rate was more than 5% in real terms and averaged about 4.5% through most of the 1960s. In the second half of the 1970s, the annual average growth rate was 3% in real terms, though it averaged only about 1.5% through the first half of the 1980s before rebounding to an average of 3.2% in the second half of the 1980s. At 2%, growth was weaker again in the first half of the 1990s, but averaged 2.5% again in the period 1997 to 2001. After real GDP growth of 1.4% in 2002, the economy grew again only 0.7% in 2003, with 2001-2003 being the longest low-growth period since World War II. In 2004, Austria's economy recovered and grew 2.0%, driven by booming exports in response to strong world economic growth, but it declined to 1.8% growth in 2005.
Primarily due to higher growth in Europe, Austrian GDP was a higher-than-expected 3.3% in 2006. Predictions are for the economy to grow 2.6% in 2007 and 2.3% in 2008.
Austria became a member of the EU on January 1, 1995. Membership brought economic benefits and challenges and has drawn an influx of foreign investors. Austria also has made progress in generally increasing its international competitiveness. As a member of the Economic and Monetary Union (EMU), Austria has integrated its economy with those of other EU member countries, especially with Germany's. On January 1, 1999, Austria introduced the new Euro currency for accounting purposes.
In January 2002, Austria introduced Euro notes and coins in place of the Austrian schilling. Economists agree that the economic effects in Austria of using a common currency with the rest of the members of the Euro-zone have been positive.
Trade with other EU-25 countries accounts for about 84% of Austrian imports and exports. Expanding trade and investment in the new EU members of central and eastern Europe that joined the EU in May 2004 represent a major element of Austrian economic activity. Austrian firms have sizable investments in and continue to move labor-intensive, low-tech production to these countries. Although the big investment boom has waned, Austria still has the potential to attract EU firms seeking convenient access to developing markets in central and eastern Europe and the Balkan countries.
Total trade with the United States in 2005 reached $10.3 billion. Imports from the United States amounted to $3.8 billion, constituting a U.S. market share in Austria of 3.3%. Austrian exports to the United States in 2005 were $6.5 billion, or 5.7% of total Austrian exports.
The 1955 Austrian State Treaty ended the four-power occupation and recognized Austria as an independent and sovereign state. In October 1955, the Federal Assembly passed a constitutional law in which "Austria declares of her own free will her perpetual neutrality." The second section of this law stated that "in all future times Austria will not join any military alliances and will not permit the establishment of any foreign military bases on her territory." The date on which this provision passed--October 26--became Austria's National Day. From then, Austria shaped its foreign policy on the basis of neutrality.
In recent years, however, Austria began to reassess its definition of neutrality, granting overflight rights for the UN-sanctioned action against Iraq in 1991, and, since 1995, contemplating participation in the EU's evolving security structure. Also in 1995, it joined the Partnership for Peace with NATO, and subsequently participated in peacekeeping missions in Bosnia.
Austrian leaders emphasize the unique role the country plays both as an East-West hub and as a moderator between industrialized and developing countries. Austria is active in the United Nations and experienced in UN peacekeeping efforts. It attaches great importance to participation in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development and other international economic organizations, and it has played an active role in the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE). Austria has participated in the UN-mandated International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) in Afghanistan since 2002. In August 2005, Austria deployed 93 soldiers to the northern Afghan city of Kunduz to help support the parliamentary and provincial elections. Austria has also participated in international reconstruction assistance efforts and has provided about 8.5 million euros since 2002 to combat drugs, to strengthen women's rights and for mine removal.
Vienna hosts the Secretariat of the OSCE and the headquarters of the International Atomic Energy Agency, the UN Industrial Development Organization, and the UN Drug Control Program. Other international organizations in Vienna include the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis, the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty Organization, and the Wassenaar Arrangement (a technology-transfer control agency).
Austria traditionally has been active in "bridge-building to the east," increasing contacts at all levels with eastern Europe and the states of the former Soviet Union. Austrians maintain a constant exchange of business representatives, political leaders, students, cultural groups, and tourists with the countries of central and eastern Europe. Austrian companies are active in investing and trading with those countries as well. In addition, the Austrian Government and various Austrian organizations provide assistance and training to support the changes underway in the region.
Austria's political leaders and people recognize and appreciate the essential role the U.S. played in the country's reconstruction and in the Austrian State Treaty. It is in the interest of the U.S. to maintain and strengthen these strong relations and to maintain Austria's political and economic stability.

WEIRTON - Weir returns four starters, but girls' coach Bill Smith is being cautious.
''You take Raven Young, last year was her first year starting,'' Smith said. ''(Raegan) Stead started as a freshmen. (Alyssa) Shingle, it's her second year. Even though they are a little older, it's still a young ball club.
''You have a lot of viable experience last year, even though we only won six games. We were in most of them, though. I thought more importantly, we had a great summer. We had about nine or 10 girls in the summer leagues.''
Young, a senior, teams with Shelva Burns as senior letterwinners from last season's 6-17 team.
Shingle, a junior, and Stead are the other returning starters. Shingle was the leading scorer for the Red Riders last season at 10 points per game. She was also 72 percent from the free-throw line.
Smith will have to replace Taylor Gianangeli, but he feels he has that in another letterwinner, junior Madison Dalrymple (6-foot post).
Also looking to see a lot of minutes is senior Kayla Lemley (5-8, post).
''We are going to need (Shingle) to put some more points on the board, along with Stead,'' Smith said. ''Alyssa had close to 50 3s last year and Stead averaged seven or eight points a game and played well as a freshmen. She is shooting real well right now and looked like she has stepped up her game.
''Shelva can put the ball on the floor for someone her size (5-8). She rebounds well. Maddie rebounds well. Kayla Lemley plays good defense and rebounds well. Those are the main crust and we are going to look to others to fill in spots.''
Burns is also contributing as a leader.
After averaging seven points last season, she is looking to improve on that, as well as bring the underclassmen along.
''From what I've seen, Shelva has been great with these young kids,'' Smith said. ''She has been patient and showed them how to do some things. She is going to step up in not only scoring, but as a leader. She has been a vocal leader, more so this year. She has been great, and I hope she keeps up the good work. A great communicator.''
Unfortunately for the Red Riders, the WVSSAC didn't do them any favors with the recent realignment, putting them with North Marion, East Fairmont, Fairmont Senior, and Hancock County rival Oak Glen.
North Marion won three of the last four championships in Class AAA before dropping down this season.
''If they left things the way we were, we had a great chance to get to Charleston,'' Smith said. ''We have an alignment that is going to be a very tough. At that time of the year, we hope are in a position to play with them. We scheduled North Marion so we will see them and hopefully that will help with our confidence. We want them to be ready to take on any challenge.''
Rounding out the Red Riders roster is juniors Michayla Dobosz, Chantelle Harper, and Lindsey Robinson, sophomore Jessica Davis, and freshmen Ashley Anderson, Alyssa Kelly, Alexis Long, Sara Meredith, Dynasty Minger, Emily Ruiz, Asharay Smith, Clarissa Tournay, Kashmir Vacheresse, and Rachel Zapotoczny.
Smith, entering his 24th season, is assisted by Jim Davis and Rick Stead.

GoPro is the world's leading activity image capture company, and GoPro Cameras capture clear, crisp shots in HD, even hundreds of feet below the ocean. GoPro Camera Accessories like wide-angle lenses and attachable lights make the most of your undersea photo shoot. See more
GoPro produces arguably the most versatile cameras in the world, the famous HD HERO line of wearable and gear-mountable cameras and accessories. GoPro's products are sold through leading specialty retailers in more than 50 countries, Best Buy and online. Created in 2004 by Nick Woodman, GoPro was concieved as a camera that could go where photographers couldn't follow, to capture the most extreme pictures from the places only surfers, divers, and lone adventurers could go.
GoPro Underwater Cameras can shoot at multiple angles, from 170 degrees (wide angle) down to 90 degrees (narrow), making sure you always get the perfect picture of the perfect view. GoPro Cameras shoot at 11-12 megapixels, depending on the model, which means your pictures will be clear and crisp, even when blow up for large prints.
GoPro Cameras can also shoot video in High Definition, up to 1080p depending on the model. Combine this with the easy-to-upload features (for both Mac and PC), and you have a hassle-free way to capture beautiful pictures and video of any undersea vista.
You can also grab a GoPro lighting package, which will ensure that you don't lose any vibrant colors in even the dimmest environments.
A GoPro underwater camera is a smart investment – you'll want to make sure you get the most out of it with these GoPro accessories. Think about a battery BacPac that attaches right to your camera, and allows you to double your battery life – power isn't exactly easy to find in the middle of the ocean. Camera mounts for gear, helmets, and chest-pieces can turn your camera into a hands-free observer, so you can spend more time enjoying the sights than recording them. You can even mount a GoPro camera on a surfboard, allowing you to capture amazing videos from the inside of your next curl.See less

Applauding their "extraordinary achievement," President Barack Obama saluted returning troops Wednesday, declaring that the nearly nine-year conflict in Iraq is ending "not with a final battle, but with a final march toward home."
Marking the conclusion of the war at this military redoubt that's seen more than 200 deaths over nearly nine years of fighting in Iraq, Obama and first lady Michelle Obama addressed several thousand troops and several hundred military families.
"The war in Iraq will soon belong to history, and your service belongs to the ages," he said.
Obama highlighted the human side of the war, reflecting on the bravery and sacrifices of U.S. forces now on their way back home. He recalled the start of the war, a time when he was only an Illinois state senator and many of the warriors before him were in grade school.
The war, he said, took many twists and turns.
"We knew this day would come. We have known it for some time now," he said. "But still, there is something profound about the end of a war that has lasted so long."
He noted the early battles that defeated and deposed Saddam Hussein and what he called "the grind of insurgency" -- roadside bombs, snipers and suicide attacks.
"Your will proved stronger than the terror of those who tried to break it," he said.

Previous Story
President Barack Obama is marking the end of the Iraq war with a tribute to the troops who fought and died in a conflict he opposed from the start.
Accompanied by first lady Michelle Obama, the president was traveling Wednesday to Fort Bragg in North Carolina to address service members and their families as he brings the war to a close.
At a base that's seen more than 200 deaths over nearly nine years of fighting in Iraq, Obama was to highlight the human side of the war, reflecting on the bravery and sacrifices of U.S. forces now on their way back home.
All U.S. troops are to be out of Iraq Dec. 31, though Obama has pledged the U.S. will continue to help Iraq as it faces an uncertain future in a volatile region of the world. Even as majorities in the U.S. public favor ending the war, some Republicans have criticized Obama's withdrawal, arguing he's leaving behind an unstable Iraq that could hurt U.S. interests and fall subject to influence from neighboring Iran.
Obama has on several occasions addressed his reasons for ending the war, casting it as a promise kept after he ran for president as an anti-war candidate and speaking of the need to refocus U.S. attention on rebuilding the troubled economy at home.
On Wednesday, his focus will be principally on the troops and their role and his commitment to ensuring veterans get the jobs and resources they need once they're back home. His audience will be those people most personally affected, including troops back from Iraq and their families.
In a local television interview Tuesday, Obama previewed some of his likely themes.
"We must not forget the men and women who gave their lives, tens of thousands wounded, all those missed birthday parties, missed soccer games and missed dinners because folks were on their second or third deployment. We should not take that for granted," the president told KOAA-TV in Colorado Springs, Colo. "It is an extraordinary testimony to the bravery, courage, dedication and patriotism of our soldiers."
It's the president's first visit to Fort Bragg, which is home to Army Special Operations, the 18th Airborne Corps and the 82nd Airborne, among others. Special Forces troops from Fort Bragg were among the first soldiers in Iraq during the 2003 invasion and its paratroopers helped lead the 2007 troop increase.
North Carolina, which Obama narrowly won in 2008, also is an important state for the 2012 presidential election and will host the Democratic convention.

How To Install DSE's Minitub KitWritten by on July 1, 2007 Install Some Monster Meats DSE's Minitub Kit
Everyone digs a big set of meats. They make potential adversaries submissively quiver down to their ball joints. They quietly hint at a massive stockpile of lethal munitions packed under the hood. And as long as they don't poke too far out of the wheelwells, they look great. If you're not down with Pro Street, the key to tastefully achieving maximum contact patch is minitubbing your street machine. However, the extensive custom fab work it requires often forces guys into a life of wacky wheel offsets and grotesquelyly protruding rubber. Fortunately, that's no longer the case for '70-'81 Camaro/Firebird F-body owners with the release of Detroit Speed & Engineering's new minitub kit.
With a team of former GM engineers at its disposal, DSE is best known for its cutting-edge suspension systems for first-gen F-bodies. The company has expanded its product line to include second-gens, and plans are in the works to develop parts for GM A-bodies as well. The minitub kit includes a pair of Deep Tubs, steel framerail closeout panels, upper shock mounts, offset shackles, new spring pockets, leaf-spring pads, shock plates, an upper crossmember, an instructional DVD, and all necessary hardware.
Be forewarned that this isn't a job for the novice, or someone who merely has a tack weld or two under his belt. A first-timer can expect to invest 40-50 hours installing the minitubs. Even so, DSE says the job would take three to four times as long without the luxury of its prefabbed kit, which equates to a big stack of C-notes if you're paying someone else for the labor. Likewise, DSE has made great efforts to simplify the installation process as much as possible. "We have invested a lot of time into making the DVD understandable for both professional shops and backyard warriors," says Kyle Tucker of DSE. "Pictures and instruction manuals help, but the DVD clearly illustrates every step along the way." Our cameras were on hand as the DSE crew installed its new tubs on Sriyantha Weerasuria's '73 Trans Am.

DSE scraped the undercoating off the underside of the wheelwell and then removed the seam sealer from between the trunk pan and inner fenderwell. Before any cutting begins, the vehicle should be level and well supported off the ground. As long as the wheelwells are removed one side at a time, body flex isn't an issue.The seatback is attached to the factory wheelwells with a support brace. After drilling out the spot-welds, DSE detached the brace from the tub with a cutoff wheel. Since the entire tub was to be removed, this cut along the tub did not have to be all that precise.Using the template provided with the kit, a cutline was marked around the front inner wheelwell, and the relocation point for the new rear seatbelt mount was center-punched. A template for the rear inner wheelwell was also used in the trunk to mark the cutline. Where the templates should be positioned was fairly obvious, as they closely follow the contours of the wheelwells.<BR>>>The red thing shaped like an arrowhead is a magnetic welding jig used to hold adjoining pieces of sheetmetal together during welding.A 2-inch-wide strip of tape was used to extend the cutline upward along the seatback. The tape connected the front and rear wheelwell templates to create one continuous cutline from front to back. Heavy-duty magnets helped position the templates.DSE cut out the factory wheeltubs using a 31/432-inch 3M cutoff wheel. Since this was only a rough cut, the cutlines established in previous steps were not utilized just yet.The new DSE minitub was test-fitted into place with self-tapping sheetmetal screws that attached it to the outer wheelwell. The DSE tubs-while 211/42 inches wider than stock-have the exact same contours as the factory tubs.After grinding off the paint on the portion of the framerails directly beneath the tub's lower lip, DSE technicians traced along the edge of the tub. This line served as a locating guide for the new inner wheeltub support flange.With the tub held in place with locking pliers (outside of car) and self-tapping screws (inside of car), the tub was secured to the support flange with spot-welds spaced every 2 inches. Since the tub isn't a critical load-bearing member, spot-welds suffice. The procedure was repeated inside the car, with spot-welds replacing the sheetmetal screws one at a time. Finally, the welds were ground flat.Using the supplied template, a new rear seatback brace was fabbed from 18-gauge steel. It was then spot-welded along the seatback and the wheeltub. Since the installation of the tub was complete at this point, 3M seam sealer was applied where the floorboard, seatback, and trunk pan mate with the tub.
To provide additional tire clearance, the DSE kit includes a new crossmember that relocates the upper shock mounts inward. Before it was installed, the stock shock mounts were cut off of the framerails.The bottom edge of the upper shock-mount tab needed to be positioned 231/48 inches above the bottom edge of the framerail. The end cap was rotated around the tube until this dimension was met. Once the end caps were tack-welded to the crossmember, the entire assembly was removed from the car, and a seam was welded around the perimeter of the end caps. Next, the crossmember was repositioned on the framerail and welded into place.The leaf springs needed to be relocated. So, using the factory bolt holes, the leaf-spring pocket relocation templates were positioned along the framerail and floorpan. The cutlines were then marked and cut.Next, the new leaf-spring pocket was welded to the framerail. DSE used the factory bolts to hold it in place while welding.Closeout panels were welded to notch the frame and clear the new spring location. Since the depth of the cuts will vary from installation to installation, the closeout panels had some extra material on them that needed to be trimmed to fit.Back in the interior, the relocation point for the rear seatbelt mount that was center-punched earlier was drilled out to 11/42 inch. The supplied seatbelt bolt mount was then positioned over the hole and traced. Four 91/432 holes spaced 90 degrees apart were drilled inside the marked perimeter. While using a bolt to hold the seatbelt mount to the underside of the floorpan, the holes were plug-welded, then ground flat. Finally, the mount was welded to the bottom of the floorplan and the bolt was removed. The entire tub install procedure was repeated on the other side of the car.To prevent rust formation, all metal surfaces on both the inside and outside of the car were painted and/or undercoated. DSE prefers 3M Underseal black rubberized coating for the wheelwell area, which comes in a 20-ounce aerosol can. After everything is dry, the rear suspension and fuel tank can be reinstalled. Besides the obviously massive meats, note the inward kink of the leaf springs and the billet offset rear shackles.Before reinstalling the interior, the final step was to modify the rear seats to make room for the larger tubs. The outer corners of the seat-bottom frame were notched inward 2 inches, and the seatback frame was narrowed by 2 inches as well. Since the seats are narrowed by a nominal amount, the seat padding and covers can be reinstalled without modification.

My local station advertises premium with no methanol added, I hope they are telling the truth because that's what I run
Are they supposed to run on regular or premium?
I think alcohol has about half the energy of gasoline when you burn it. It's a very clean burning fuel but if you run a fuel like E-85 (85% ethanol, 15% gas) you need things like bigger injectors or carbs to deliver the fuel the engine needs and you get much less power for the same displacement.Scott
Couldn't the Model-T run on just about anything? Alcohol. kerosene, gasoline, diesel, peanut oil? And I think it gets in the neighborhood of 40-45mpg on many of those fuels. Makes you wonder what we've been doing since then that that mileage is still considered outstanding.Scott

In A Hurry To Stop! - Technical Article - Classic Trucks MagazineWritten by on April 28, 2006 Master Power's Disc Upgrade For '65-72 Ford Trucks
Trucks have always been good for haulin' stuff around for us at our every whim and are still regrettably there for us when the inevitable friend needs help moving. Having owned half a dozen classic trucks of all makes and using some of them for several out-of-state moves of my own, I can safely say that the least impressive thing about all of them has been their lackluster stock brakes. Just when you think you got everything packed in there perfectly and couldn't be any smarter, you get to the bottom of the hill and start stompin' and sweatin'.
Luckily, I have lived to tell this tale, but let's try to avoid the situation all together which is easy to do today with all the bolt-on upgrade kits available from the ever-growing aftermarket. Rabb Sabin of Orange, California, shares my pain with his '72 F100. He got in touch with the folks over at Blue Oval Truck Parts and they sorted him out with Master Power Brakes' '65-72 Ford truck power disc brake kit to replace the stock drums up front. This is a complete bolt-on kit that includes almost everything you need except brake fluid and fits on the stock parts of your truck easily. All of the following can be done in the driveway on a Saturday.
Follow along and see what it takes, and then call or click both of these companies for all your truck's needs.

The whole shebang! Master Power Brake's upgrade kit is quite impressive and includes the new power brake booster, disc/drum master cylinder, combination/proportioning valve, spindles with single piston calipers already installed, and 12-inch American-Made rotors with seals, bearings, and dust caps. Also included is a new kingpin set with new bearings and bushings.Before we got carried away with the install, we checked that the new brakes would fit behind the 15-inch Cragars that were on the truck; this is an important thing to consider with many brake upgrades. Luckily everything cleared.With the wheels off, we find relatively small stock drum brakes up front, which were fine back in the early '70s. But wouldn't it be nice to stop with the rest of us on the road today? Once the drum is off, just continue the teardown......Disconnect the brake hoses and remove the four bolts that mount the backing plate to the spindle. Fortunately, someone did a fair job of maintaining this truck, making the job a lot easier.You'll need to get out the tie-rod separator/pickle fork to break the steering arms loose from the tie-rod ends.Before getting the bigger hammer to continue driving the kingpins out, make sure you remove the tapered stop that locates the kingpin.Here's a look at the new kingpins laid out and ready with the new nylon bushings, bearings, shims, threaded caps, grease zerks, and the tapered stop.Install the new bushings into the new spindles. Grease the kingpin bore in the axle as well as the kingpins. You can slide the kingpin up from the bottom of the spindle enough so that the bearing will sit on it and lift the whole assembly up into place, pushing the kingpin up the rest of the way to hold everything. Use the shims to take up any extra play if needed. Once it is deemed good than install the stop and threaded caps with zerks. Now would be a good time to hook up the new brake hoses, too.
Once the spindle/kingpin task is complete, so is the disc brake installation! Thanks to Master Power, the unit comes pre-assembled, which means no packing bearings with grease, installing races, etc. From here, attention immediately moved to the engine compartment.Outta here! Here's the stock master and booster before it's yanked. Unhook the brake lines and unbolt the master cylinder and then the booster.With both boosters on the bench, measure the original pushrod and adjust the new one to this length for reference before installing.When you get the booster in place, insert the new plunger with the flared side going into the booster.Don't force it! Make sure when the new master cylinder gets into place that the plunger seats into the middle of the piston in the master.This new combination valve is needed when adding disc brakes to a drum/drum system. This will work with the new master cylinder to get and keep the right brake pressure to all four wheels. The stock pressure safety switch was mounted down off the frame and will no longer be needed; use the fittings supplied to eliminate it. If you want, you can reuse the stock hard line coming up from this point; you will just need to tweak it a little.
