9th Annual Goodguys Lone Star Nationals - Texas Two-StepWritten on March 1, 2002 Trucks took center stage at the 9th Annual Goodguys Lone Star Nationals
No doubt about it--Texas is truck country. Take a cruise down any Lone Star highway and you'll quickly see that pick-'em-up trucks are the preferred mode of transportation for real ranch-hands and urban cowboys alike. So it's only fitting that one of the most prestigious classic truck awards of the year is handed out at an event in Texas.
The award is the Goodguys Truck of the Year, and the event is the Lone Star Nationals, which was held October 27-28 (rescheduled from October 6-7) at Texas Motor Speedway in Fort Worth. And even though 2001 marked only the second year for Truck of the Year honors, it still drew a host of heavy hitters to vie for the title (actually two titles--one for pre-'53 trucks and another for '53-and-newer trucks). One of the ten finalist trucks (five for each category) came all the way from Canada by way of California. Another made the trek from Arizona. A third came from Las Vegas, Nevada. All ten pickups were great rides, but only two could return home with the trophies, the bragging rights, and the $1,000 cash prize.
Truck of the Year judging took a little twist at the 2001 event, as the folks at Goodguys decided to get the participants involved. First, a panel of judges including Goodguys representatives and a CLASSIC TRUCKS staffer narrowed the field down to five trucks in each group. Then the finalists themselves were asked to participate in the final judging, with "Early" finalists voting on the "Late" trucks, and "Late" finalists voting on the "Early" trucks. Competition was close, but in the end the honors went to Steve Sandlin's '48 Chevy pickup and Dave Kimmerle's '56 F-100.
Even if you weren't a contender for Truck of the Year, the Lone Star Nationals held plenty of appeal. With around 1,500 vehicles on hand from at least half a dozen states, there was a lot of old iron to see. There was also a sizeable swap meet at the event, as well as a bunch of commercial vendors selling aftermarket parts to help keep that on-going project progressing. You could even rent a ride in a NASCAR machine, with a professional driver taking you for a 140 mph spin. But the coolest part of all had to be the track cruise Saturday evening, where participants were allowed to test out their rides on the banked turns of Texas Motor Speedway.
Trick trucks, cool cars, and big-time fun. It's all standard fare for a Goodguys event in the Lone Star State. See y'all next year!

Everything's bigger in Texas, including the cab on Dusty Cox's '72 Chevy pickup, a CLASSIC TRUCKS Top-Five pick recipient. Dusty extended the cab 12 inches and added quarter windows to complete the factory look. PPG Cool Blue paint makes it look smooth, while a TPI 350 engine keeps it running right. You have to agree that the stance really makes this truck, but would you believe Dusty got it sitting this low without the help of air bags? The 18- and 20-inch Budniks make the perfect finishing touch.You probably remember Kelly and Teresa King's bright yellow, Bobco-built '56 F-100 from the cover of our Oct. '00 issue. Well, it made the trek to Texas, where the Kings were rewarded with a CLASSIC TRUCKS Top-Five pick and were in the running for the Truck of the Year--Late title. We don't have enough room to list all the cool features on this bright yellow hauler, but it rides on a No Limit Chassis, is powered by an LS1, rolls on Intro wheels, and sports a Ron Mangus interior. In other words, it's fit for two Kings!How about a hot set of licks dividing a Rosewood and Vanilla Shake two-tone to get your attention? The paint may draw you in, but the details will keep you looking at Steve Sandlin's '48 Chevy from Las Vegas, Nevada. This truck is trick from front to back, with a Heidt's Superide IFS, a polished Kugel IRS, and a fully detailed small-block in-between. In fact, the truck was so trick that it walked off with a CLASSIC TRUCKS Top-Five pick, as well as Truck of the Year--Early honors!Bryan Beneux had two cool rides at the Lone Star Nats--a '59 Chevy wagon and this super-clean '55 Chevy pickup. The pickup was once a pro-streeter, but he recently redid it with 18- and 20-inch Colorado Custom wheels shod in BFGoodrich radial rubber. Those big billet rollers are bolted to an extremely clean chassis that supports an LT1 engine and that gorgeous Guards Red body. It's easy to see why this Chevy was a ClLASSIC TRUCKS Top-Five pick and a finalist for Truck of the Year--Late.Yet another CLASSIC TRUCKS cover vehicle (Dec. '00) was on hand in Texas, and this one went home with the Goodguys award for Truck of the Year-- Late. There's no denying that David Kimmerle's '56 F-100 is simply stunning, and the Vermont Green paint lends it just the right amount of elegance. Naturally, the detailing is awesome throughout the truck, and the highly polished Lincoln Mark VII engine outshines the hot Texas sun when the hood is open. Our congratulations go out to David, and he'll also be getting a CLASSIC TRUCKS Top-Five pick jacket in the mail.A mere top chop wasn't enough for Billy McSwain's '58 Chevy, so he added a modified late-model Sportside bed and smoothed everything to perfection. B. Coddington wheels and a blown small-block finish it off.Bill Phelan built himself one wild '45 Chevy, and he wants you to build one too! Bill made molds of the truck's front clip, running boards, and rear fenders, so fiberglass replicas will be on the market soon (see Film @ 11:00 for details). The truck uses 2000 Mercedes headlights, has suicide doors, and sports a 350/4L60E drivetrain.Ford didn't build a quad-cab pickup in 1933, so Dan and Tracy Sturkie decided to make their own. This rod has several other modern options, too, like dark blue paint with ghost flames, a polished IFS, and small-block power.

|Thomas recognized by Hospice of the Plains
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
Hospice of the Plains honors individuals who offer extraordinary service to their organization and to the families they serve each quarter.
The Wray office recognizes the work done by J. Gordon Thomas from Paoli for the outstanding service he has provided to their patients in northeastern Colorado.
Thomas has been a volunteer for Hospice since 2011. In addition, he is an active volunteer in many other areas and especially enjoys the time he spends reading to the preschoolers in the Haxtun school.
He also volunteers time at the Phillips County Museum and delivers commodities to people in his area once a month. Thomas visits nursing homes in Haxtun and Holyoke once a week.
Since Hospice has a small number of men volunteers, Thomas has been especially valuable to Hospice. He relates well to the members of the farming and ranching community and has been willing to offer his services to rural patients in the Paoli area.
He recently had a patient who had known him as a youngster. Remembering those "old times" and the tricks they had played on each other gave both a chance to remember special memories.
All the volunteers demonstrate a great commitment to the organization, and their enthusiasm is contagious. If one is interested in joining the volunteer ranks, call 970-332-4116 for more information.

ALEXANDRIA, Va. (WUSA) -- Department of Justice officials say that 28-year-old Yanira del Carmen Guerrero Andrade pleaded guilty to recruiting a 15-year-old girl to become a prostitute.
Guerrero Andrade, also known as Yadira or Litsy, lured the teen runaway into her boyfriend's sex trade business in January 2009. After meeting Revolorio Ramos, the teen was taken from Maryland into Virginia to work as a prostitute, according to the statement of facts with Guerrero Andrade's plea agreement. In three days, the teen would have sexual relations with more than 40 people total.
In June 2010, the teen moved in to the basement of a home Guerrero Andrade and Ramos shared. She paid rent with money she made from prostitution.
The teen girl was also given information to work for other prostitution businesses when she was not working for Ramos.
Earlier this month, Ramos was sentenced to 188 months in prison for his role in sex trafficking a child. Guerrero Andrade faces 10 years to life in prison at her sentencing hearing on May 10.

Monk's career in other media, was slower to take hold, She debuted in the film adaptation of "Prelude to a Kiss" (1992) but most of her parts have been small character turns as secretaries (i.e., "Quiz Show" 1994; "Bulworth" 1998), mothers ("Jeffrey" 1995; "Bed of Roses" 1996) or professional women (e.g., a therapist in "Reckless" 1995, a cop in "Mrs. Winterbourne" 1996).

If you have high-profile rims and your tires/tubes have removable valve cores, stop getting annoyed by those blasted short valves—grab a pack of Continental Valve Extensions.

Unsung Hero
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
This is an item you don't think much about until you use one that sucks... which I did recently... and it made me appreciate these guys a little more. Work beautifully with HED Stinger 4s. Mine get a little goopy when using sealant, but I'm not sure that it's the extender's fault so much as it is the Caffeelatex...
A must for every saddle bag
Can't tell you the number of times someone flatted out and had short stems on their tubes. It's light, inexpensive, small, and will save your ride.
Works great!
I did not give 5 stars, because afterall, they are only valve extenders. But they work great. Half the price of Vittoria valve extenders which I also like.

Texas Pit Bull Rescue Scandal: Where Did All the Money Go?
For nearly 30 years, Leah Purcell ran the Spindletop Refuge for pit bulls in Willis, Texas. Last week, state workers found hundreds of dogs living in inhumane conditions there. The dogs have been removed, but the question remains: Spindletop took in an estimated $861,000 a year. Where did all that money go?

Climate change has important social implications, in particular for poverty , equity and human rights. The impacts of climate change will be distributed differently among different regions, age groups, income groups, genders and generations. The poor and marginalized, such as indigenous peoples and women, will generally be hit hardest. They have the least capacity to adapt to rapidly changing conditions due to a wide range of social factors including: livelihood security, poor access to and control over natural resources, food security, health conditions, access to information and decision-making processes, education, housing conditions and safety of housing areas, and access to economic assets.
In partnership with the Global Gender and Climate Alliance (GGCA), IUCN along with WEDO, UNDP and UNEP, and other member organizations, is working to include gender considerations -such as women's involvement in energy use, deforestation, population and economic growth, science and technology, and policy making- in the UNFCCC framework.

I'm sitting here, going through tons of pictures, reorganizing, cleaning up, the works. This morning the summer seems to have come to an end, chilly, windy, you can just smell it, it's over.
It's been a great summer and an unbelievably good year for Amsterdamize, ever since I decided to expand on my cycling endeavors and day-to-day shenanigans in May 2008.
Browsing my pics I realized that over this period of time taking Panda Portraits has really grown on me. It started out here and it evolved beautifully & massively.
Well, I like to pay tribute to this summer, cycling and all you good people by asking you to submit your best Panda Portrait to Amsterdamize and I'll make a fitting collage.
You don't have one? Then go do one! Anything goes, as long as it's a self-portrait, either of you on your bike or the perspective of you riding, put the bicycle that you love front and center, on the fly.
It'll be fun, trust me. Cheers!
Now, if you'll excuse me for the next few days, I have to organize my stuff for my move into my new house ;).

The Glytone KP Kit starts with the Glytone Exfoliating Body Wash. This 6.5-ounce body wash is perfect for cleansing in the shower, and the kit includes a body poof for easy application. Glycolic acid is present in the formula and serves as a powerful exfoliator. As you cleanse your arms, back and other areas that are plagued by keratosis pilaris symptoms, the formula helps to dissolve the plugs that have formed in your pores. The cleanser also helps to soften rough patches on the knees, feet and elbows.
The actions of the Glytone Exfoliating Body Wash are perfectly complemented by the 8.4-ounce bottle of Glytone Body Lotion found in the Glytone KP Kit. Containing 17.5 percent glycolic acid, the body lotion provides additional exfoliating benefits while soothing and hydrating the skin with glycerin and allantoin.


text: I bought a Stag 2T a couple of weeks ago with the quad rail. I love it. I researched reviews for months before I bought it. As far as sights it depends on your price range. If you want to spend 500 or more look at Acogg or Eotech. I am saving up for an Acogg so I ordered a Vortex Strikefire red dot to hold me over for now. I have seen a lot of good reviews on them and they run 150-160 bucks. If you go with the Vortex order the red dot not red/ green. Everyone says the option with just red is a lot brighter and easier to see on bright sunny days.

Breast reconstruction is plastic surgery to rebuild a breast. It is usually done after a
(removal of the breast) has been done to treat cancer. Reconstruction generally requires several stages. The first stage may be done at the time of mastectomy (immediate reconstruction) or at some point after the mastectomy (delayed reconstruction). Breast reconstruction can be done using an implant or tissue expander followed by placement of an implant. Breast reconstruction can also be done using a tissue flap taken from another part of the body.
The goal of the procedure is to create a reconstructed breast that appears as similar to the natural breast as possible.
Complications are rare, but no procedure is completely free of risk. If you are planning to have
a breast reconstruction, your doctor will review a list of possible complications which may include:
Some factors that may increase the risk of complications include:
Silicone filled breast implants are not designed to last a lifetime. They typically need to be removed within 10 years. Your risk for complications increases the longer you have the implants.
General anesthesia
is most often used for this procedure.
Once you are asleep and no longer feel any pain, a breathing tube will be placed.
A breast implant is the simplest form of reconstruction. It can be done at the time of mastectomy if there is enough skin left on the chest wall. This one-stage, immediate breast reconstruction procedure involves inserting a breast implant where the breast tissue was taken out.
The implant can be a silicone shell filled with sterile salt water (saline) or silicone gel. Alloderm or another type of treated skin may also be used to improve the appearance of the reconstructed breast. This type of reconstruction may provide an improved appearance of the breast without resorting to the use of skin and muscle tissue flaps. It is becoming the method of choice in immediate breast reconstruction.
Two-stage reconstruction is done if your skin and chest wall tissues are tight and flat. A tissue expander (temporary implant) is slipped under the skin, and the skin is closed. The expander can then be filled with saline. Over a few weeks, more saline is gradually put into the pouch with a needle. The skin overlying the pouch slowly expands as the pouch grows in size. Some doctors leave this expander in place as the actual implant. Others will replace the tissue expander with a saline or silicone gel implant. This replacement requires additional surgery.
If you want the size, shape, and color of your nipple and areola reconstructed, another surgery may be needed. The nipple can be reconstructed using local tissue. The areola can be reconstructed using skin from the inner thigh. Proper coloring is achieved through tattooing.
More complicated types of breast reconstruction involve using muscle and skin flaps from the abdomen, back, or other parts of your body.
transverse rectus abdominus
muscle (TRAM) flap procedure takes tissue and muscle from the lower abdomen and creates a breast shape. It is then moved to the chest area. Skin, fat, blood vessels, and abdominal muscles are removed, resulting in a
tummy tuck. Two types of TRAM flaps exist:
Other procedures include:
After the operation, you will be taken to the recovery room for observation. You will then be transferred to your hospital room to begin your recovery.
If you have a tissue expander, you will need to have additional saline added gradually. Your doctor will set the schedule.
About 2-6 hours
Anesthesia prevents pain during surgery. You may experience pain after the surgery and during the healing process. Pain medicine will be given to help relieve pain.
The surgery typically requires up to a week's stay when done at the same time as a mastectomy. If there are any complications, your hospital stay may be longer.
Be sure that you follow-up with your doctor. For silicone gel implants, you will need routine
screenings to check for ruptures (tears or holes in the implant). The screenings are typically done three years after surgery and every two years after that.
After you leave the hospital, contact your doctor if any of the following occurs:
In case of an emergency, call for medical help right away.

When we think about the very basic fundamentals of blogging and expressing ideas we find the clear practice of writing. Today we are launching a new theme which tries to reflect precisely on that. Manifest is a wonderful theme for writers.
This is a theme that presents your creations in an elegant and powerfully clean way, offering your readers an intimate and direct experience with your thoughts.
Post Formats
With content being the clear focus in Manifest, you can create different types of posts by choosing appropriate Post Formats. You can create image posts, link posts, galleries, asides, videos, and quotes, and Manifest will present them in the same neat, clutter free way it shows your regular text posts.
A Link Post would grab the first link it finds in your content and use it as the anchor for your post title. It also adds an arrow at the end.
Image Post grabs the first attachment in a post and displays it at the top. It will also display any text you add to the content as a note below the image.
The Gallery post will only show just galleries on your index page — but show your full Gallery post content at the permalink page for the post.
The Video, Quote, and Aside post formats display minimal post meta. All formatted posts in Manifest include a notation and a link to the archive for that particular format alongside the post meta.
Header Image
Manifest has header image support. You can upload an image which will work as a subtle header picture to bring a personal touch to the design, if you want.

Irish rock legends U2 are returning to Island Records, the company that discovered them more than 30 years ago.
The "Beautiful Day" hitmakers exited the label seven years ago, but will now return for the release of the band's upcoming 13th studio album in 2014.
U2 had long been associated with Island, which was also home to artists such as Bob Marley, Tom Waits and Grace Jones, but decided to leave when their good friend and label boss Jason Iley was moved to sister company Mercury Records, and the band followed suit.
Earlier this year, executives at parent company Universal decided to shut down Mercury Records, which left the fate of U2 up in the air, but now a source confirms to the U.K.'s The Guardian newspaper that U2 will be heading back to "their spiritual home" at Island.
U2, led by frontman Bono, last released an album in 2009 with "No Line on the Horizon," and their new record is expected to hit shelves in March.

Born: 08/25/1958
Birth Place: Burbank, California, USA
Born on Aug. 25, 1958 in Burbank, CA, Burton grew up a lonely and isolated child who quickly became disenchanted with his homogenized suburban surroundings. Burton's withdrawal from his home life - particularly from his father - led him to spend time daydreaming, watching B-movies and pouring through issues of Famous Monsters of Filmland. Eventually, his inability to communicate - coupled with his fascination with the macabre side of Hollywood - sparked an interest in drawing and animation. When he was 10 years old, Burton went to live with his grandmother until he reached high school, much to the dismay of his parents. In that cauldron of simmering adolescence, Burton only grew more ... Continue Bio >>

WASHINGTON (WUSA9) -- Metro General Manager Richard Sarles presented a new business plan for calendar years 2014-2016 today.
"The whole business plan is about customer service. Everything I talk about today really gets back to customer service." The entire plan can be seen on WMATA's website.
The biggest takeaway is that Sarles spoke about those old 1000 series cars finally going away. Those are the ones the NTSB deemed unsafe after the June 2009 Red Line Metro crash. He announced an additional 220 7,000-series railcars will be added, resulting in half of all cars being new, "By the end of the decade, we'll see a lot more 8-car trains, this helps with relieving the overcrowding."
When asked when we'd see the first new trains online, he replied, "Next year! You'll see them testing on the system the early part of next year, you'll see them on the system the latter part of next year."
Rail ridership is down. Riders on Twitter pointed to delays, cost, and a long wait between trains. This has resulted in a decrease in revenue. Sarles pointed out that Metro ended the year in the black, and admitted, "Rail ridership has been slightly under budget, certainly we want to see more people riding the system and we will continue to look for ways to boost that ridership. "
Today also saw the unveiling of a brand new Metro map, that includes the Silver Line. Sarles also talked about getting a timeline in the next few weeks for a return to automatic trains as well as the introduction of a pilot program for a new fare system.
Several people spoke at the board meeting to allege that WMATA's policy of performing background checks on potential employees was purely racism. Several rallied with signs out front afterwards.
To view the entire presentation, you can view the power point slides here or watch the video here.

Which may be why relying on common wisdom at product launch time can lead you right down a path to disaster. According to Mintel research, a company that tracks many industries, of the 250,000 new products launched each year, 85 percent to 95 percent of them fail. Many of them are from reputable companies like yours, launched by smart people like you. And many are failures, despite growing industry sectors such as Hewlett-Packard's recent smartphone line, the iPAQ. Last year The New York Times reported that in a market that is exploding, Q1 2010 sales of iPAQ were down $57 million from the year before.So what goes wrong exactly? While there are a million books on the subject and many companies offering to analyze failure for a fee, I suggest the reason is much simpler: We often abandon common sense for common wisdom. Unwritten rules, past experience, unrealistic enthusiasm, and political compromise can dominate corporate decision making. So step by step, meeting by meeting, the simple proposition of launching a product that fills an unmet need gets lost.
Keeping common sense at the forefront of planning can help brand teams ask the right questions, challenge prevailing assumptions, and have the courage, in the case of a potential failure, to call the baby ugly before the marketplace does. And how does that happen? Putting your plan to the following test is a good place to start.
1) Who is setting the sales goals?
While both groups are working toward corporate goals, it can seem like senior management and the marketing/commercialization teams are motivated by opposing forces: short-term commitments to shareholders versus long-term brand building. The result can be a disparity in expectations and disappointment on both sides. A perfectly solid product can be branded an instant loser if expectations are unrealistic or not aligned.
So put on your common-sense hat and take a realistic look at your market, your product, your label, your customer, your sales force, and your marketing budget. Then work with senior management to set goals you can hit.
2) Have you found the "moments of truth" in your target customer's decision process?
As a physician or healthcare professional considers a protocol or algorithm in approaching their patient's issues, a marketer should find where in that protocol lies their brand's "moments of truth." At what point can you influence that script, that purchasing contract, or that patient request? Common wisdom may hold that efficacy data is the critical driver of a new script ... until research reveals that cost has become a barrier. That's a different moment of truth for the prescriber requiring a different set of strategies from you.
Deliver the right message at the right time and you multiply the value of your brand. Leave it to chance and you waste an opportunity.

im interested in breeding my pokemon. if anyone else breeds there pokemon do you have any tips? Oh! and is there an easy way to get a light ball? ive gone through so much pikachus its driving me insane!!
You can chain pikachus.
First breed a whole bunch of ralts, so you get one of each nature. Than use those ralts to cach ditto with those natures (syncronize), once you have that, breed.
Still a pain in the ass though.
lol thanks
i had a realy cool pikachu once, he was a lvl 50 something and got me through most of the elite 4
I think there is also a ability that increases the chance of finding cool items on pokemon, but im not sure. I know illuminate increases the odds (if your chaining though this is a bad thing).
You can speed up text and get rid of animations to make things go faster aswell.
i remember something abouy getting a bunch of pokemon that has pickup, getting them to a certian lvl, then run around and gether a handfull of rare candys lol (srry for getting off topic ^^')
omg, i got a shiny roselia!!!! ive been playing pokemon since the pokemon games that do ahve shiny pokemon came out and i finaly seen and caught one, why did they have to make them soooooo rare..... does any one breed???
No shiny pokemon do not breed to make more shineys, unfortuanty.
Use can use medusa's method to get shinies through breeding easier, it makes the odds about 1/3000.
awwwwwwwwwww thats no fun....
any one have a more detailed info on baby pokemon being born with certian moves?? it would be cool if i could get a baby pichu with the move thunder when it first hatches.
unfortunately my school computer blockage system wont let me on T_T
1. If the parents know the move by level up, it can be passed
2. If the father can learn it as a TM, it can be learned
3. If it is an egg move, the father can be pass it
ok! *sigh* one day i will murder big steve for stealing all my pokemon..... *cries* i miss my pikachu, luxray, lucario, zoruak (ikd how to spell him, the evolved form of zorua)
Use this: http://wave.webaim.org/

You may think a pad posting thread like this would cost you $129.99 or even $159.99, but you can have it for only 48 monthly payments of only $9.99, yes only 48 monthly payments of $9.99! And that's not all, if you act now, for a limited time it is absolutely free.
I am always a little leery about things on the internet for free. I think I will wait for the limited time to expire and pay $ 9.99 for 48 months.

BANGOR, Maine (NEWS CENTER)-- The man police say was behind Friday afternoon's stand-off in Bangor made his first appearance in court. Harold Rodgers appeared before the judge via satellite from Penobscot County jail.
Rodgers is charged with one count of aggravated assault and one count of aggravated criminal mischief. Both felony charges. The Bangor man was arrested Friday evening after a stand-off with police where he threatened suicide.
The judge did not have Rodgers enter a plea on either count. Rodgers is due back in court in early July.

This mens inlay Turquoise ring was made with a contemporary silver jewelry
design. This differs from traditional Zuni Inlay Jewelry in that non traditional
stones were used in the inlay ring and the design of the silver is clean
smooth and modern. The stone used in this inlay Turquoise ring for men
is unique in that the Navajo artist used high grade natural Tibetan Turquoise
rather than Sleeping Beauty Turquoise for the blue color in the mosaic inlay.
The way that Kenneth inlaid the Fire Opal right next to the black onyx in this
mens inlay ring really sets off the opal and makes the men's silver ring much
more interesting. It is also neat having the traditional Italian Red Coral and Turquoise combination in this Mens Native American Turquoise Inlay Ring.
The top of the ring measures : 3/4 inch long X 5/8 inch wide. The ring weighs 16 grams. The ring is a size 10 3/4..
Thank you for viewing this Mens Inlay Turquoise Ring, maybe
you will end up with this gorgeous inlay ring or another men's
silver ring from our Southwest Silver Gallery.

Trigger Comes up a Little Short
Posted By etnies, Skip To The Comments (13)
Jul 25 2006 / Tuesday
Check how he landed on the top deck... a few more feet and he woulda landed butter.
ZOOMM in
Over the weekend we headed out to Miami, Oklahoma (they pronounce it "Miama" out there) to see Trigger Gumm attempt to break his own distance jumping world record of 277.5 feet, and break the unofficial, but well-known, 310 foot jump by Ryan Capes. The plan was for Trigg to jump around 315 feet or maybe more.
In the days leading up to the event Trigger was practicing and feeling really comfortable jumping as far as 270 feet. The show came around and Trigg started out at about 240' and did a few practice jumps while increasing the ramp gap about 10-15 feet each time. His final jump before the world record attempt was taped off at 273 feet, 11 inches, which was a new 450cc world record and only a few feet short of the outright distance record of 277.
Trigg's wife Erin, Seth and Ox makin sure he is alright
The next attempt is the one you've seen video of on CNN and countless local newscasts and websites… the jump that went wrong. They pulled back the ramp another 10 feet and Trigg made his run at the takeoff as he had done many times that day at over 80mph. Maybe it was the pressure of live TV, maybe a problem with the carburetor, or possibly the 10mph headwind out of the North... whatever it was, Trigg came up a little short. He went about 280 feet, landed on the top deck of the landing, bounced half way down and took a good ol' Oklahoma soil sample.
Before the crash the nurses were placing bets on weather or not they would meet Trigger... someone won a few bucks
Amazingly, Trigger was able to walk to a waiting ambulance under his own power and was transported to a local hospital for x-rays and observation over night. The x-rays showed a couple cracked vertebrae in his neck and back, but he should be fine with a little rest, some doctor prescribed "candy" and just taking it mellow for a little while. A mere mortal surely couldn't take a crash like that and walk away, but Trigg is an animal and one tough dude. He will be back soon enough to conquer the world record just as he set out to do.
Here's to a speedy recovery, Trigg!
Some random stuff...
I had a 2GB CF card die on me, so I lost a ton of sweet photos! Freekin' sucks bad. But we should have a video of some sort in the next week or so, so check back for that.
Lil' Mike and Roc
There was this midget dude hanging out, I think his name was little Mike?, and Trigger was going to jump the ramp with the midget on board for a doubles jumping world record! Holy shit that would have been funny! Maybe next time...
Seth Enslow came out to Oklahoma, too. He made sure Trigg was feeling comfortable, giving a little advise if needed and providing everyone with shots of Green Label Jack all week! Thanks Seth! Not to mention terrorizing the local bar scene and throwing multiple chicks in swimming pools... good times.
The rental car ride to the airport was crazy. Ox for sure has a black eye now, Fluffer got wet-willied so many times by Maddo its just gross, Maddo was asphalt surfing at 90mph out the door, and somehow we lost the side mirrior on a road cone... don't tell AVIS.

It was one of my favorite things about this house when we first looked at it. In thinking about how I would put it together for Christmas, I knew it would be the home of our Nativity set. I also knew I'd have room for something more and whipped up these simple silver printables with lyrics from one of my favorite Christmas songs, O Holy Night.
I happened to have these 5x7 photo placards, which were intended for post-it holders like THESE. The printables were created to be 8x10- I seemed to get requests for that size more last time- but I shrunk the ones I printed for myself to fit the holders I already had. I do think I'd prefer it a bit bigger since it'd be even more readable, but nonetheless was happy with how this turned out. There's something soft and pretty about these, which isn't the usual around here!
These are intended to go together, but they would look fine separately too no doubt. Followers can click the images below, then right click and save for an 8x10 print!
that accompany these on my mantel too :)

Casino May Fold On Table Games
Little support for cuts to fees, says Wheeling Island official
April 9, 2013
WHEELING — Citing a lack of support in the House of Delegates, Jim Simms said the bill to reduce annual table gambling fees by $1 million is "very unlikely to pass....
The reason table games is not doing well is because of the way Sim managed the whole place into the ground. They cut the odds to the worst in the country and the big players went straight to the Meadows and the Rivers and that's the fact. Give up some of your god awful salary Sim and save some of those 105 minimum wage tip jobs you care so much about all of a sudden. You haven't cared about employees before as you chopped off jobs and blamed employees for your failures. Why don't you hire those that write these articles for you. They work so hard for you they'll get your revenues jumpin!
10 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Agree. If you talked to anyone, when Sims took over no one ever saw him. He ignored the customers.
7 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
If the business segment is unsustainable without subsidy, then let it die.

WD is the weakest WV racino now.It may ultimately close all operations.The market is saturated.Wheeling has lost all appeal as a destination. MNTG will benefit from the tables closure.
6 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Good! Close the table games, close the casinos and then close the coffee shops. Quit luring and tempting West Virginia citizens to gamble away their hard earned money. Never in my life have I seen or heard so much hubbub just to save 105 jobs. It makes no sense. We have multimillions of dollars leaving the state, never to return to WV on one hand and 105 jobs created, paying minimum wage on the other hand. Where is the balance or justification?
8 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Really, if the table games end, so what?
6 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
A casino located in a flood zone, through which one has to drive through an emerging slum zone on the way to gamble away there welfare, disability, or social security check, just isn't appealing, when one can drive 35 miles, and at least get a little of the proverbial kissing before getting screwed by the government.
3 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
WD gives money and token support to agencies, such as Health Right and Easter Seals, who have to help the people they impoverish with their games, leaving children unfed, medical needs unmet and families broken. Get rid of the one-armed bandits as well.
4 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
I agree with legal16. Here is an example on how Mr. Simms cares about employees. He fired the poker room manager. Two table game managers were instructed to watch over table games as well as the poker room. An amount was not changed on a sign on the wall in the poker room. The table games managers did not know to change the amount because that was not their department. They were both fired. The sign advertises the amount a poker player can win on a bad beat promotion. It might be won once a year or so.
3 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
The management at Wheeling Island Racetrack & Casino has been flawed and Mr. Sims should be operating an Ice Cream Truck. However, you cannot successfully operate a Casino when the state takes 35% off the top. Vegas and New Jersey are in the single numbers, which allows them to recruit and compensate big players. The problem is, if WV reduced the 35%, Delaware North might only buy new popcorn and hot dog machines. They can't operate a Casino and they can't sell one.

The reason it's not doing well, period is because it's wrong! People flock to this place in the hopes of becoming an instant millionaire and get hooked. Have you ever been to this place and seen this disgusting display of comatose sheep, sitting in front of these hypnotic machines in their Hoverounds, drooling and holding their plastic cups full of coins? They are mesmerized and gambling addiction seeds are planted. These people have no jobs, no lives, no hope and no future. You plant a huge gambling "resort" in the middle of a desolate and desperate community. Mills and factories have closed and the city is barely alive and they bring this into that community. We have serious drug, theft and sexual assault issues in this area and now we have made it worse by worshipping another false idol called gambling and we are wondering why it hasn't been successful? Open your eyes folks!

They knew what the taxes would be when they opened. They also knew that there soon would be competion. Let them sink or swim. If they sink, peoplw will go out of town to get rid of their money. Of course, those who promote giving to charities will be in their glory, hoping for hand-outs.

hef is getting at the point.WD and Wheeling are not appealing destinations.A renewed JUSA would have helped create traffic per Nashville/Branson et al.The patrons have many options now.Why pick WD? MNTG is really much nicer.
I see WD having trouble now with hotel occupancy and food sales as well.It will be downhill for them as it has been - and is- for Wheeling in general going forward.Highlands as an Outlet Mall would have helped.It is not a tourist destination other than Cabella.
WD is going to have to "reinvent" itself in a hurry to survive.They have huge fixed costs.

Oh, my my. First, look up the editorial from this very newspaper dated Dec. 17, 2011. "Plan for Drop in Revenue". Obviously this is really not a surprise, but now Delaware North and Whg Island Casino is crying. "West Virginia has been hooked on gambling for years. Casinos, video slot machines and ticket wagering pump hundreds of millions of dollars a year into the state budget. No one has any idea of how the money will be replaced if the source dries up...The wolf may not be at our door in West Virginia yet, but rest assured, he's on his way."

Next? Another editorial dated Sept. 8, 2012. HELLO. Anyone listening?? Title: Plan for Collapsing Gambling Revenue - "West Virginia's "take" from casino and racetrack gambling plunged in July, with officials admitting new casinos in Ohio are to blame.
July revenue from video gambling at West Virginia racetracks was $60.84 million, down $7.19 million from July 2011. Table gambling revenue from casinos was $6.53 million, about 10 percent less than the previous July. Within months, 2 more Ohio casinos, in Columbus and Cincinnati, will open. Clearly, state officials need to begin planning for even more loss in gambling revenue. Failing to do so would be a sucker's bet."

Here's the deal I currently work at Wheeling Island at is a horriable place to work the managment treats us like crap so we treat the customers like crap the directors are only worried about one thing their big fat paychecks. I am not a dealer BUT I feel no remorse for the dealers that are there they are crybabies who have made way too much for way too long the avgerage dealer at WIG makes 17.50 an hour 5.15 is their hourly rate then they get tips that are equally shared with the other dealers. Please tell me what job pays 17 an hour to deal cards the answer is none. Table games is not a money maker but neither is racing but they can't get rid of racing. What it all boils down too is the casio IS making money but not all areas or departments make money BUT as a hole they are not losing any money. WIG last fiscal year posted a 49 million dollar PROFIT it's time the state steps up and does NOT give WIG a break , they don't deserve it.

So many good comments and so much truth. Herx-your post describes my own images the best. Once inside the casino, fighting hovaround traffic and getting past all the oxygen tanks, only to discover no vacant machines to feed your money to. People look at you but cant see you, its the zombie stare-they are thinking of the millions about to be won. A little humor in the pathetic situation.

Competition is only a small fraction of the reason the revenues are down. The well is dry. Gamblers have exhausted all their money from every source they had and lost it all. A huge amount of that money left WV instead of investing it back into our communities. Take a look around. Do you see mega millions of dollars' worth of updates and improvements? Yeah, right, you don't. But you sure can notice in the decline in the community morale, home life, community recreation in addition to a rise in crime. It's not rocket science, just plain old everyday common sense.

And since the gambling community ran out of money, they are trying another avenue, (like asking?) threatening (We will eliminate 105 jobs) the government for tax breaks, fee breaks and any other flimsy break they can trump up. The final slap in the face to WV.

Well I personally think that another sucker will be along more often that the next bus, I agree with ladydiamond, the locals are broke, and like another poster pointed out, what idiot wants to travel to the island, where there is little other attractions, compared to Pittsburgh, where there are many other attractions including restraunts and shopping. The well may be about dry.

Building Bomber Seats - Built For TwoWritten by Chris Shelton on November 1, 2012 Contributors: Frank Wallic The bomber seat built for pilot and navigator
You'd almost have to go out of your way to overlook the work our pal Frank Wallic does. He's an editor's dream come true: he has a way with the tools, cameras included. And for the past five years he's trained that camera on tasks that most deemed impossible or at least improbable by mere mortals. Among the many things he does, he crafts seats that are spitting images of the ones in World War II–era Fairchild PT-19 trainers.
Even luckier for us, he's not content with leaving well enough alone. Though the seats he crafts look the part of old aircraft seats, they're usually not in the exact same shape. Because he's starting from scratch he can make 'em as wide, tall, or deep as necessary to fit just about any automobile and its occupants.
This proved especially appealing to Editor Brennan; in case you haven't noticed, he's building a Model A pickup—the stretched version from Nostalgia Speed & Cycle. And in case you haven't occupied one before, their cabs are quite cozy—some say too cozy for bucket seats. Like houses built on community property to skirt easement regulations, driver and passenger often occupy the same space in a Model A pickup cab. (Although the Nostalgia Speed & Cycle cab is stretched 6 inches.) Sharing a ride in one is reason enough to choose attractive passengers, since two adults in those cabs can look like they're starting a family.
Rather than a nuts-and-bolts tutorial on how to make a seat from scratch, this is a general information exercise fortified with a reprisal of at least two articles. To learn in greater detail how Wallic builds these seats—including a pretty comprehensive outline on how to rivet together panels—we suggest referring to the following articles: "Cockpit Confidential" (July '07) for seat construction, "Thinking Inside the Box" (March '08) for seat risers, "Let it Slide" (April '10) for seat sliders, and "Well Heeled" (June '10) for riveting basics.
Or if bucking 1,500 or so rivets doesn't sound like your cup of tea, give Frank Wallic a call. If he can find as much room as he did in Brennan's pickup cab, chances are he can eke out a few more inches from your cockpit.

Wallic bent the rearmost seatback's lowermost strip to form a lip (compare the holes in it with the ones in the last photo). Note that the vertical beads cause the seat-face panel to arch.To make the panels lay flat, Wallic first drills and rivets the seatback face panel's lowest edge to the corresponding strip of the seatback backside. The tool against the panel is a countersink cage that attaches to the drill motor.As noted in the June '10 article, "Well Heeled", Wallic flattens most rivets with a rivet gun, a set, and a bucking bar. The method requires the most coordination but uses the least expensive tools and works in pretty much every application.For this application Wallic used flat-head rivets. He used a flat bucking bar on the face and formed the head with a rounded set. He also tapes the tool faces to protect the aluminum.Wallic created the transition from seat back to side with a 90-degree flange. Before he clamped it and the seatback panels together and drilled the rivet holes he shimmed that flange away from the seatback's edge. He used scrap to set the gap.Wallic drilled and riveted the panels together at the top and bottom of the edge flange. He then clamped the seatback panels between a steel tube and his welding table and drilled and riveted the panels together around the perimeter.Once Wallic riveted together the seat back he attached the base panels to the back panel's flange. They span the width of the seat but consist of two sides riveted together at the center. Wallic doesn't double-wall the base as the risers support it.Wallic created the transition from base to side once again from a strip bent into a flange. Note that he shrunk the edge to create the lip. And again note how he used scrap to shim the flange from the seat base.
To support the seat sides Wallic made this gusset. Note that it has beads rolled into it that match the beads in the seat sides.Wallic borrowed another aircraft practice: he doubles the seat corners where the belts pass through. The greater thickness makes the corners stronger and reduces the likelihood of chafed belts.Also, as revealed in the "Well Heeled" piece, Wallic uses a rivet squeezer. It's a more expensive piece of hardware and it works only near the edge of flat panels but it reduces fabricating time significantly when working with so many rivets.Wallic opens the belt slot by first drilling a series of holes and then connecting them with a rotary file in a die grinder. Round off any sharp edges to further prevent the side panels from chafing the belt.Wallic creates the base-to-back gusset by splitting the seat back's angle in half and bending each flange to that dimension. Note that the gusset also ties into the seat sides to control another axis of motion.A tripling plate fit to the top of the seat base lends the seat another level of integrity if only by preventing the seam from opening. Note that the temporary fasteners stabilize the seat as Wallic bucks the rivets.As the saying goes, the devil's in the details. Wallic's secret edge molding lends the seats a more finished look and takes off the sharp edges.
Once completed, Wallic's seats practically bristle with rivets. And they're not just for looks; each rivet point increases the seat's integrity by dispersing the load over a greater area.Whether bent from tubing or riveted together with sheet, a seat doesn't stand alone. Brennan and the crew mocked up the seat on various boxes to approximate the general angle and position.Wallic offers optional risers with his seats, something he did for Brennan. This one was for a bucket seat in the July '07 piece, "Thinking inside the Box" (as part of it Wallic made a battery box as well).A seat doesn't sit flat, either; even a modest amount of riser angle offers welcomed thigh support. In this case a tapered-foam cushion would increase the support and improve comfort considerably more yet.

Orange Country Museum of Art
Newport Beach
May 2 – September 19, 2010
"In the future," Andy Warhol predicted, 'everybody will be famous for fifteen minutes."
Then a few years later he said, "I'm bored with that line. I never use it anymore. My new line is "in fifteen minutes everybody will be famous."
It is rare that prophecies come true with such a vengeance. In the Twenty-first century, "fame" is surveillance. Under the watchful eye of CCTV, we are all famous all the time. We stop at the red light, mindful of the camera perched above, staring down at us, we walk in and out of a department store, watching ourselves on the television screen overhead, we enter a bank and we are seen. We are all treated as criminals and potential terrorists. If being famous means being photographed, at any given moment every day, we are famous. The goal of the exhibition at the Orange County Museum is not to investigate what photography means after September 11th, but to look at the connection between fame and photography. We, the common people, "know" famous people through photographs. Andy Warhol, the original modern voyeur, photographed every person who entered the Factory. According to legend, he asked all the men to drop their trousers for the Polaroid camera. Some of these images became the basis of his silkscreened portraits of the rich and famous. Although there is little of Warhol's actual art in this exhibition, some of these Polaroids are on view, and his spirit hangs over the proceedings. Warhol, himself, was supremely uninterested in ordinary people, and tellingly, the curator, Karen Moss has also kept within the confines of the museum's collection of famous photographs made by famous photographers.
The exhibition features many old friends, such as Edward Weston and Dorothea Lange, interspersed with a few rarely seen gems, namely Margaret Bourke-White's portrait of Stalin's mother and world-famous images, such as Korda's hagiographic portrait of Che. Although much smaller that LACMA's recent show of Vanity Fair portraits, this show elicits the same pleasure of recognition at the sight of Einstein, by Johann Hagemeyer, or the very young artists, Betye Saar, Charles Arnoldi and Larry Bell by Arnold Chain. Moss stretches the word "portrait," from a faceless abstracted nude by Weston to the nameless women stalked by Garry Winnogrand and includes Harry Callahan's iconic "Eleanor," his muse and wife. Also included, perhaps more under the sobriquet "famous," is a selection from Larry Clark's hard-to-look-at Tulsa, and a group of John Coplans' studies of his crumpled hoary body. Indeed the whole exhibition juxtaposes the anonymous with the well-known and illustrate how the unnamed subject of the camera lens can become "famous." We would recognize Clark's drug addicts anywhere and we know Winnogrand's laughing woman with the ice cream cone as an old friend.
Far and away the greatest delight of the exhibition is a group of celebrity portraits by movie star photographer, Lawrence Schiller. Schiller's trick photograph of Tippi Hedren is the leitmotif of the show. Hedren, Alfred Hitchcock's successor to Grace Kelly, was his idea cold-hot blond. Schiller posed Hedren, blond hair blowing in the wind, driving her Ford convertible down the wide-open highway. And just as he popped up in all his movies, there is Alfred Hitchcock, round face framed in the rear view mirror. On the same wall of photographs, "the man with no name," Clint Eastwood squints and grips his cigar between this teeth, a young and beautiful Barbra Streisand is profiled near a Schiele drawing, "Butch and Sundance," aka the late Paul Newman and environmental activist Robert Redford, pose in sepia. But most touching of all are Schiller' inspired photographs of a luminous Marilyn Monroe, taken a few months before her death on the set of a film she would never finish, Let's Make Love. These are some of the best photographs ever taken of Marilyn, capturing her at her zenith, before the lights went out. Glowing in the dark, bathed in artificial light, the screen goddess splashes about in a swimming pool, a doomed and radiant mermaid, famous forever.

The 2010 Carlisle Truck NationalsWritten by on March 8, 2011 The 20th Annual All-Truck Get-Together
The 20th Annual Carlisle Truck Nationals was held August 6th-8th at the Carlisle, Pennsylvania, Fairgrounds. This is one of 10 annual events held by Carlisle Events at the 102-acre facility. If you are a truck guy, and you live in the Northeast, this is a must-attend event. Where else can you see custom classic trucks, restored classics, frame-dragging mini trucks, lifted or lowered 4x4s, and tricked-out big rigs all at the same venue? Such a mix of subcultures at one event is unique.
In last year's coverage of this show, we characterized the venue as a "melting pot of truck subcultures." Ditto for 2010; things were cooking again. As I worked my way around the show field, talked with truck owners and photographed their trucks, I again observed a high level of interaction between truck folks of all genres. This really is a meeting ground for truck lovers of all kinds. Folks were kicking back and having a great time, a lot of interesting engineering was on display, and it was easy to have a good conversation about some unique aspect of a build.
In addition to some 2,000 trucks on display, the show always features a great swap meet area with vendors showing up with lots of solid old metal. Given the area's winters and the prodigious amounts of salt laced on the highways, quality material is often difficult to locate. This is the place where builders can find a good selection of replacement parts at reasonable prices. The event's "car corral" is also a great source for solid project trucks. Every year there are a couple "barn find" trucks that are offered for sale, but you'll need to show up early to snag one of these.
Also, since many truck owners attend the show every year, you can follow the progress of their builds. For example, last year's coverage included a former trick mini-truck owner's '65 Chevy C10 rails on the ground "build-in-progress." We had to push it off his trailer so that I could photograph it. This year, although it's not quite finished, he drove it to the show. As you'll see in the photo, his truck is coming together quite nicely.
Logistics for attending the show are straightforward. There are many motels in the area, or should you prefer, campgrounds that are conveniently located. The 2011 Carlisle Truck Nationals will be held August 5th-7th. More information about the event can be found at www.CarlisleEvents.com. At this same site you can find details about Carlisle's annual spring and fall swap meets, which are legendary for the selection of material offered to custom car and truck builders.

We saw Jason Hayes' '65 Chevy C10 at last year's show. He'd worked out most of its engineering based on his S-10 mini-truck experience, but we had to push it off the trailer to photograph it. The bed was covered with a sheet of plywood and the bodywork remained to be started. It's clearly still an on-going work but she's a driver; the bodywork is done, and a nice wood bed is installed. The interior remains to be sorted out, yet it's already clear that this is going to be a truly unique ride. This kind of genre "crossover" keeps things interesting.Fred Neidigh's '53 F-100 is powered by a '67 Corvette 327 hooked to a 350 Turbo tranny. The front end is a '76 Camaro clip and the rearend is a 9-inch Ford.We see our fair share of early Ford roadster pickups, but it's extremely rare to see one of their Chevrolet brethren. It looks like a factory job, but we weren't sure if they made a roadster/convertible pickup as late as 1946 or in general for that matter! We look forward to your letters.Robert Moore bought this Custom Deluxe Fleetside in 1971 and drove it for more than 20 years. After his son drove it into the garage, Robert parked it. In 2000, he began a complete rebuild and got it back on the road three years later.Carlisle's swap meets continue to be one of the best sources for old metal in the Northeast. If you need an original replacement part, chances are that you can find it, or get a good lead for locating it, in the swap area.Twenty-one-year-old Tyler Parker has owned this '70 Chevy CST 10 8/400 longbed for four years. There are not many of these around. Tyler got it from his uncle; it was originally his grandfather's truck.
There were many sharp looking trucks in the Car Corral. This First Series Chevy was trailered in, but she could have been driven home for a lot less than it would cost to duplicate her build."It's a driver," says John Walker. His 1970 Chevy C10 runs a 350/700R4, a Blazer front clip, a 3.56 rear end, power brakes, Classic instruments and Flowmaster exhausts.This green '67 C10 stepside was offered up at $7,995. A six-cylinder backed by a three-speed could make way for a hi-po V-8 or be left as-is for a nice gennie ride.Take a close look at this '72 Chevy C10 owned by John Moyers from Mathias, WV. Note the Trans Am side marker lights that are set into the front and rear fenders.In 1991, Dave Conley bought this cranberry red '52 Ford sight unseen for $500. It sat for five years before he began working on it at his body shop in Stony Point, NY. It has the original drivetrain but owes its great stance to a dropped front axle and monoleafs in the rear.Gay Vreken drove her Kelly green '47 Ford pickup to the show. Her husband completed work on the cab before he passed away in 2003. It sat for a year then, with encouragement of friends, she and her son Eric went to work on the build. The metalwork on this truck is remarkable. The cab was stretched 6 inches and widened 6 inches and each door was constructed from two doors. Seats are from a Mercury Mountaineer, an ididit column, and VDO gauges on the dash. The frame is custom-built by Progressive Automotive, engine is a ZZ4 Chevy 350 small-block crate joined to a 700R4 Overdrive, 9-inch Ford rear, and a bed from Notrhern Classic Trucks.
Bob Linthicum's Peacock Red '56 Ford was among the trucks shown at the invitational display. It runs with a 429/350 carried on a MII front and a TCI four-link hooked to a 9-inch rear end. Cushioned by Air Ride shocks and cooled by Vintage Air, this is was one of the nicest F-100s at the show.William Smith, of Levittown, PA, found an old dragstrip push truck in Arkansas and went to work. Powered by a 383 stroker hooked up to a 350 turbo, it is supported by a '77 Camaro clip, a custom-made four-link at the back, and Ride Tech suspension. With a No Limit hood kit and suicide doors and Dave Wyeth pinstriping and graphics, this is one fine truck.For some 25 years, Mike O'Holleran has been scavenging parts for his Studebaker. Powered by a Mopar 318/904 on a '65 Sport Fury sub frame, it is a truly unique work in progress.Looking for a new home was this '66 Ford, an ultra-clean two-owner survivor with 41K on the odometer.According to Jerry and Donna Reilly, their short box '57 Chevy was a trailer queen. Now they drive her to all the shows. With a '79 Trans Am front clip, GM crate HO 350/400 tranny, and a 9-inch Ford rear end, this black beauty rolls on Goodrich 245/60/17s on the front and 270/60/17s at the rear.Dave Andersen drives his dark green '54 Chevy around town and to local shows. A 20-year on-and-off build, he did all the work in his own shop.This '54 F-100 was Jerry Turner's senior high school project. His 74-year-old uncle, who was a previous street racer, helped with the build. According to Jared, the truck was from Texas and 99 percent of the parts needed to complete it were obtained at Carlisle swap meets. Powered by a 351 Windsor linked to a C6 and 9-inch Ford rear end. Heidt's Mustang II, Cyberdyne gauges, and Nitro wheels complete the project. What did you drive right after high school?
From York, PA, Charles Miller's '65 Ford F-250 began its life as a standard 3/4-ton workhorse. Charles ditched her split rims, bored out her V-8 0.030-over and hooked it up to a C6 auto tranny. The rear roll pan was fabricated from the top edge of a bedside while the color combo is Rangoon Red and Tan Metallic.Dennis Rosenberry also brought this '75 Chevy Scottsdale to the show. He purchased it for $175 in 2007, and subjected it to a 5 month total rebuild. The craftsmanship on this truck is phenomenal.We dug Joe Testerman's '54 Dodge Truck but thought a lower stance and a good set of wheels would really transform it.From Shermans Dale, PA, Frank Shaffer built this '48 five-window Chevy with parts from six different trucks. A Camaro clip, 700R4, bed floor from an '88 Chevy pickup, Dolphin gauges, Vintage Air, and the ever-classic Torq Thrust II wheels round out the details.

Your face is your most expressive aspect, a palette for communication verbal and otherwise. It's also mighty hard-working. It draws and delivers gazes, displays emotion, and bravely sets your course day in and day out. All those smiles, tears, guffaws, and glowers over the years seem to eventually leave permanent evidence—a crease here, a wrinkle there. Meanwhile, you have natural oils, harsh dirt particles, blazing sun, and all manner of other elements impacting your complexion. Broken blood vessels, blotchy skin, deep-set lines, and all the other features a face accumulates across a lifespan are part of the cost of doing business in the world. RoC Cleansers are designed to mitigate these effects, restoring a freshened glow to your face and the happy confidence that comes with it.
RoC Cleansers work with gentle effectiveness; they aren't overly abrasive or irritating, as some other cleansers too often are. They feature blends of ingredients designed to remove impurities and foster healthy epidermal process, like citric acid, which works deeply to trigger the growth and thickness of new skin cells. Incorporate RoC Cleansers into your daily skincare pattern and you'll give yourself a regular, restorative blend of cleaning and exfoliation—and your hard-working, elastic, and unmistakably unique face will thank you for it.
Using a gentle but effective cleanser is one of the key routines for maintaining a clear, healthy, fresh-looking face. RoC Cleansers deliver a distinct treatment that is as relaxing and soothing as it is deep-cleaning and full-bodied. Straightforward to use, they can transform your skin, leaving it softer and glossier than ever before.
Regular application of
RoC Daily Resurfacing Disks is a major step toward that youthful, refreshed sheen so many strive for. The disks are self-foaming and harbor special skin-conditioning cleansers. On one side, they have a textured surface for gentle removal of the oils, dirt, and other particles and substances that might roughen your complexion. The other side is smooth and soft, useful for attending to the tender areas around the eye, removing makeup and generally cleaning.
Such action can render wrinkles, creases, and large pores less perceptible, bolster the texture of your face, and even its tone. RoC Daily Resurfacing Disks can also reduce the visibility of photo-aging effects—the varied dermatological changes that naturally occur from years of exposure to ultraviolet radiation. In other words, those pleasant massages deliver a full-service treatment.
RoC Daily Resurfacing Disks are easy to use, and their gentle nature makes them a fine component of daily care. To generate the lather, you simply rub the disk against wet skin. Use the smooth aspect of the disk to soothingly cleanse the entire face; for deeper exfoliation away from delicate areas, employ the textured side. After cleansing and exfoliation, rinse off your face and throw away the disk.
