Linda Vaughn - "I'm Married to Racing, Honey!"Written by on July 11, 2011 Contributors: The Hot Rod Archives Linda Vaughn, the First Lady of Racing, in Her Own Words
My mom knows who Linda Vaughn is. It's a pretty safe bet that yours does, too. The iconic Miss Hurst Golden Shifter has been a part of the racing and automotive scene since the early '60s; she knows everyone we regard as heroes (and many more we don't), and she never disappoints with her insanely accurate memory. Meet her once, even for just a moment, and there's a good chance she'll remember your name and what you talked about a decade later. She has probably the most recognized face (and let's be honest, the most recognized breasts, too!) in the world of motorsports, having represented Hurst and several other companies for five decades now, after George Hurst stole her from her Miss Firebird responsibilities and made her the second Miss Hurst Golden Shifter, initially to promote the company, but eventually to promote everything about motorsports, hot rodding, and our way of life.
As part of our continuing series In Their Own Words, we finally managed to pin down the lovely Linda for a lunch date, during which we fired up the computer and turned on the tape recorder to get her impressions of the photos we dug out of our archives.
Ever the diplomat, Linda wouldn't go fully on the record with some of her opinions, and we respected her right to edit herself, but you'll still get some real gems here. She has been working intermittently on a book project, and when it finally comes out it's going to be a fantastically entertaining read. But the basic message she wants to leave the readers with is this: "These are some of the stories that a lot of fans don't get to read because I don't get too personal too often. They're stories from my heart. [The racers] are my brothers, my heart. I'm married to racing, honey! That's why I have no children. I have everyone else's children. The Andrettis, the Foyts, the Unsers, the Allisons...they're all my kids, and it's a large family!"
What she relays as her greatest story in racing is the one that made her tear up big-time during our lunch, and it gives you a peek into her closely guarded heart. "McEwen beat Prudhomme in the finals at the '78 U.S. Nationals just after his son passed away from cancer. We lost his son and he won that race. That was one of the most touching races of my life. I still get chills off of that. McEwen was sitting in his car after the race, and I get in the golf cart with my Hurstettes and we're flying down to the end of the dragstrip and when we get there, I reached in and grabbed him and hugged him and kissed him. He was crying, I was crying, they were all cryin'. McEwen drove the race of his life. He couldn't get out of the car."
Linda Vaughn is The First Lady of Racing, and she always will be. And yes, she drove to our lunch in her '75 Hurst Olds.
Miss Hurst the First
Meet the original Miss Golden Shifter: Pat Flannery Stevens
It seems hilariously obvious now, but it was the master stroke of marketing at the time. Back in the '60s, who purchased high-performance parts, including shifters? Young men. Who best to grab their often fickle attention, focus it like an exowatt laser, and then pitch the boys some speed equipment? Why, an attractive young woman, of course. George Hurst was a genius, and not just at shifter mechanisms.
Pat Flannery (the Stevens came later) wasn't the first young lady recruited by George to promote his products. Early on, he drafted his office staff and even his wife, Lila, to pass out trophies and work the booths. But in 1965, Pat became the first full-time, salaried spokesmodel for Hurst Performance Products—and the first to climb up on a decklid platform, grab the 9-foot handle, and preside as Miss Hurst Golden Shifter. She and George invented the shtick as they went. "I had three days to make my first outfit from scratch," she recalls. Funny thing is, beautiful as she was—and still is at 71—Pat had no training as an actress or model. "I had no idea what I was doing at that stuff," she says. "I just smiled and tried to be friendly." Her background was in customer and public relations.
A central Ohio farm girl, Pat attended Bowling Green State University, then took an office job at the local Ford dealership. Ford sales boss Lee Iacocca was then pushing his dealers to create customer relations departments, so Pat was handed the job. As the first female customer relations director in the Ford dealer organization, she was a natural and her story made the national news wires. It so happened that her store, Mefford Ford, sponsored multitime ARCA stock-car champion Jack Bowsher. Through him she met ARCA president, John Marcum, who invited her to come aboard as Miss ARCA. At Daytona in February 1965, he introduced her to George Hurst, who, with Marcum's blessing, immediately stole her away to become the first Miss Hurst Golden Shifter. "He hired me on the spot," Pat says.
Pat served in the role for only a year, but she had the time of her life. "You can't imagine what an adventure it was for a little farmer's daughter like me who had never been anywhere," she says. "It was pretty wild." She worked with Hurst-backed racers including Parnelli Jones and Lee Roy Yarbrough, hobnobbed with TV and movie stars. But she says her most memorable trip was to Bonneville, where she saw the Hurst-sponsored Summers Brothers Goldenrod run on the Salt. She wrote the record speed, 409.277 mph, on the four-engine streamliner's tail with her lipstick. After stepping down as Miss Hurst, she spent another year at the company as coordinator of the Hurst Hustler Club and the Defender newsletter sent to servicemen around the world. Pat meanwhile served as Miss Atco Dragway in New Jersey, where she also filed the track's news stories.
She then stepped away from racing, though she and George remained close until he passed away in 1986. She became a customer relations manager for Savin Business Machines; operated a copier supply firm for 17 years; married and then divorced. But eventually she made her way back to South Vienna, Ohio, only a few miles from her parents' home. There she operates her own horse farm, where she boards, breeds, and trains champion hay-burners and runs a tack shop. "Guess I've gone from horsepower to horses," Pat says.
In 1995, Pat fought her way back from stage IV throat cancer. "Stage IV, that was difficult news to deal with," she says. "You're supposed to be dead." Now recovered after radical surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy, Pat, ever the PR pro, lays in a plug for her friends at the James Cancer Hospital in Columbus. "They saved my life," she says. "I have no doubt. I need to mention them." While she's still thrilled by her reign as Miss Hurst Golden Shifter, Pat says horses have always been her first love. "When we have a new baby born here, that's the highlight of my life," says Pat. "For me, it doesn't get any bigger than that." — Bill McGuire

"Oh that's Ed on the right, the promoter that worked for Wally Parks, and that's the great Jon Lunberg. And that's Atco, I think. That's my first sash, 1966! I met the great Jon Lunberg. We've worked together a few times. He's still got that great voice. Wonderful announcer at Atco and Englishtown and a great friend of mine and George Hurst.""Ohhhhh my god! This is at the Baja 1000. James Garner drove for Mr. George Hurst. I loved James Garner. That was my sister with me, Sheila Ann. Shirley Janet and Sheila Anne, twin sisters. I took 'em down there with me, and he ended up winning his class in that Oldsmobile. He was awesome. Steve McQueen also drove that race. But George Hurst introduced me to James Garner. I mean, James Garner! The most gorgeous movie star in the whole wide world! I had the biggest crush on him. I couldn't look at him without meltin'. What a great competitor, a wonderful gentleman. I had the honor of calling him and asking, 'James, would you drive the pace car at the Indy 500?' in 1972. He was fighting with the studios and he said 'Hell yes I will.' I think he even led A.J. through turn one! He was a great driver, and Oldsmobile loved him. He sold more Oldsmobiles than I did. He was and still is a lovely, brilliant man. Probably one of the most handsome men. You know his name is James Baumgarner from Oklahoma."My hero! Is that 1966? Grumpy was little, had hair, and kicked ass and took names. I read about Grumpy in HOT ROD magazine. I've subscribed to that book since I was a kid. I love it. It's my bible, HOT ROD magazine. And I got to meet Grumpy and I was so proud. This was the Hurst outfit at the U.S. Nationals at Indianapolis. That was a real top hat. It would fold down and then you'd hit it and it would pop out. I don't know who stole my top hat, but I still have that costume up in my attic somewhere. I had a cane, too, with a four-speed Hurst shift knob on it. Grumpy was my hero; still is today. Mr. Chevrolet. And he's also one of the few men with a key to my house.""Here's my Hurstettes. My mother made that outfit. She made all our outfits at the time. That was in the Hurst/Shiefer little car, looks like Columbus or the U.S. Nationals. But Shiefer Clutches was one of my major companies. Knowing me, that was the U.S. Nationals and I went down to see Top Fuel run. The great Miss USA Nikki Phillips on the left and the beautiful miss Playboy, the Playmate of the Year, June Cochran, on my right, my first Hurstette, who passed away recently. She was lovely, lovely, probably one of the best girls I ever had working with me and for me. My baby sister. Everyone loved June Cochran. I still have her Playboy magazine. I would never do Playboy because she did it and she would never be Miss Hurst 'cause I did it! A lovely lady, she unfortunately met her demise with diabetes. Went into a diabetic coma and passed away. And the great A.J. Foyt got her remains shipped back to Indiana and she got to have a funeral and a going away that she deserved."Oh lord, Gas Ronda! A great driver. Ford loved him but he had the worst fire. Ugh. Horrific fire, and he's alive to tell. That's a very handsome man.""That's Jerry Ruth and Bernie Partridge and me, in Bakersfield. Bernie Partridge gave me my first chance to talk on the microphone. He handed me the microphone down at Gainesville one time and said 'Talk to the folks.' And it was instant magic because I loved it and the fans did, too. That was the biggest crowd for an autograph session after that, and it was my first Pro Stock race. The King Ruth, Bozo. We stay in touch. Ruth was a great little mechanic, the youngest mechanic, 17 years old. The guy that put him in the victory circle was Ronnie Capps. And Ronnie Capps is my chief mechanic, takes care of all my cars, takes care of me. I left them to him in my will. Don't know if I should leave him the Ferrari or not! He worked for Ruth and then Beck, Bernstein, Muldowney. He's another one of the few people who have a key to my house. He's precious.""I think that's Nikki and me and June Cochran. We shot this at Gainesville, '72. This photo session was in between the rainstorms, and my mother made these outfits and cut the holes in the tops so she could 'see our smiles' she said, our boobies!""Oh Em Gee! My mother made me this beautiful dress. I married a drag racer, William Curtis Tidwell. Billy Tidwell. My wedding was all gold and white. I used to say to mother, 'They drank my swimmin' pool and ate my house' because it was one hell of a big wedding.' December 2, 1972, and it was absolutely gorgeous. It was the day of the last drag race (at Lions) and the entire wedding party went out to see it and I cried in the hotel because I didn't get to go. This was at Our Lady Queen of the Angels in Newport Beach, California, in 1972.""Billy Meyer! Sixty-four Funny Cars at Orange County Raceway! Woo! That was big hair. That was a lot of hair. He was the youngest racer to win and I'm pouring his champagne. He actually tried to stick his tongue in my mouth and I bit it! Orange County was a brilliant track. They'd fire up the cars and I could hear it from my house and I'd get in my car and go up there. Mother made that dress, and that's Moet & Chandon, and Billy was the youngest driver and kicked ass and took names."
"McEwen and my second Hurstette, Shelly Harmon. He's telling me right now, 'I told you 1,000 times, do it this way.' McEwen is like my big brother. My mother loved him. God I hate that haircut. McEwen is giving me shit here, as you can see, but one thing about Tom McEwen is he's my friend, he never lies to me, I love him, and if he ever needs me I'm there. Tom is a great, great friend, but he gives me all kinds of crap, but it looks like I deserved it 'cause things are kinda stickin' out there. It wasn't cold that day!""Oh, Ronnie Sox and Buddy Martin. That looks like Buster Couch, at a dealership in Daytona. I stay in touch with Ronnie's wife, Diane Sox. Ronnie and I used to look at each other on the starting line and always say 'Beautiful, just f#@king beautiful.""That's a beautiful shot! This was probably taken by Bob D'Olivo, and I remember that gold watch. Mother made me that outfit. Oh please give me that waist back! And the hair. And it's all natural. We didn't have makeup girls then.""Here I am with two of my boys, Dyno Don Nicholson (left) and Arnie 'Mr. GTO' Beswick. Arnie was one of the first racers I met. I met him in 1962 and we still stay in touch. We occasionally do a nostalgia show together. And Don's in heaven. He and Buster are probably bench racin'. Dyno Don Nicholson was a great part of my time growin' up.""There's my car. That car is in Jack Watson's museum in Grand Blanc, Michigan, and all those cutout stand-ups were for the entries of speed shops like Keystone, Honest Charley Speed Shop, the rest. I wish I would have bought that car. George offered it to me for $1,600 and I didn't have the money at the time and I let it go.""Dandy Dick Landy! I called him Dimples. I see his wife still today. Dick Landy was a Dodge man, he was part of our team, along with Sox & Martin and George Hurst. We had so much in common when we met. He made me a handmade bar in 1972 with a heart on it, and I still have it in my kitchen. Dimples was my big brother, and a lovely part of my life.""That's Riverside Raceway at the drag race on the back straightaway. I had June Cochran with me and that was Wally Parks up on the starting line. He was a great mentor in my life. I met him and George Hurst at the same time. Buster Couch introduced us at Daytona in 1965 and I got to meet two men I'd been reading about in HOT ROD and he was just wonderful. He was especially lovely to me. There was just an aura about him, the way he smiled and talked to you. He's my uncle Wally.""Oh Jungle Pam! I told her 'Put some shorts on, wet your T-shirt, and get out there, girl. Light 'em up!' I stay in touch with her. She's real close to Grumpy. Jungle Pam was an entity of the sport. People never forgot Jungle Pam. She is my friend; I love her. She was the queen of the wet T-shirts!""The Big Daddy. First time I met him, JesusChristMaryAndJoseph, I went out there in the spotlight and he was running into the swamp. I'd read about him and had seen him. I met him when I was 14 years old. I went riding my bicycle over to Grady Pickles' place in Dalton, Georgia. They were changing engines and he introduced me to Big Daddy. Every time the train would run they'd fire up the dragster 'cause the train would drown out the noise. So I ride up and he just looked at me, and the next year I was bustin' out all over and he couldn't believe how I'd grown up. Big Daddy Don Garlits was the very first drag racer I met, and when I came riding up on my bicycle at 14 years old, there was no stopping me. I didn't forget them and they didn't forget me. Big Daddy and I kind of grew up together. He's a true champion."
"That's Bob Riggle, the driver of the Hurst Hemi Under Glass, and George came out in this firesuit to the starting line. That was a promotion with Pontiac and HOT ROD magazine.""I fell in love with Roland Leong's mother. She treated us just brilliantly when we went to the Armed Forces bases in Hawaii and gave us a big party, a real luau.""That was early in my career. Bob D'Olivo was another hero. What a brilliant eye he had, and has. He always fascinated me with his photography. He and my friend Bob Jones from National Geographic remind me of each other because the brilliance you can see in their shots. What a lovely person to work with, and I'm quite honored to be his friend.""Shirley Shahan was the first woman driver—and the first woman racer I ever kissed! On her cheek! 1966 at Pomona. Drag On Lady was kickin' ass and takin' names! Her daughter has boobs the size of mine. I see her every now and then at Bakersfield. And George Hurst was a well-dressed gentleman. Look at the statuesque body on George Hurst. He was a Navy man and injured his hand years ago and he had a cast, which you can't see here. 1966 was the beginning of paradise for me. Magic, magic, magic.""That's Ongais. I was in love with Daniel Ezekial Ongais. He took me to Hawaii in the '60s. I met his grandfather and his family. He climbed up a coconut tree, barefoot, with a saber, hits me a coconut, chops off the top, and I drank coconut milk. Did I fall in love with a Hawaiian? Yes I did, and I'm very proud of it. He was a wonderful friend to my family. Daniel Ezekial Ongais and I still see each other at the HOT ROD Reunion. Danny and I were very close. What a brilliant motorcycle racer he was. He was my hero. But next thing you know I'm engaged to Billy Tidwell. If I'd married him Danny I'd probably have 15 kids!""The Greek was actually the first professional race car driver I met, at Atlanta Raceway in 1961. Chris 'The Golden Greek' Karamasines ran his Top Fuel dragster from turn four into turn one and scared the shit out of me, and I got to meet him. He was just the best, refined gentleman that he is today. We stay in touch, he and his wife and I. He's the oldest Top Fuel dragster driver and he can still push in the clutch!""Is that Ed Iskenderian?! His shop still looks that bad! You have to turn sideways, and I learned that from him because that's how it is at my house. You come down the hallway you have turn sideways to get through all the stuff I've collected. Ed and Lou Senter are two of my heroes. What a brilliant man. My friend Chris Isaac loves Ed.""Who doesn't know "mouth" Edelbrock? I knew his dad. Vic has been an entrepreneur in this industry. He went into NASCAR after we did with Hurst Shifters, and he was shortly thereafter with Edelbrock manifolds because we had to convince them they needed drag racing expertise and well-made products through SEMA at Daytona, and I admire him for that. I love his wife and children and I'm very proud to have him as a friend. He's a Leo like me so we always butt heads!""You finally got to A.J.! And Dan Gurney, and that's Mario! I was very much a part of the Coyote era, and the Sheraton Thompson team. These were great, fabulous people. Mario and A.J. were rivals and Mario told me one day, 'A.J.'s my hero.' A.J. was always a little jealous of Mario, but I loved them both. Indianapolis is a whole 'nother place. A.J. could build 'em, race 'em, drive 'em, engineer 'em."
"That's Bobby! Bobby and Donny Spar of B&M. I respected their conversion kits, but I always thought we had the best shifter. Still do. Great family, the Spar boys. They're a big part of our industry.""Ak Miller, he and Wally and Barbara Parks were buddies, and he and George Hurst were great friends. Lord knows how they cheated. Those sumbitches cheated and never got caught. They would kick corporate's ass, Ak Miller and George Hurst, Smokey, they were bad boys and I loved 'em. And I got to see all that!""Oh my God. We shot this down in Miami, this was a firesuit made by Simpson and it was about 115 degrees that day. The Goodyear Blimp went by right at the same time we were shooting this cover. We did this for Oldsmobile, and Warren Johnson won the championship that year so I got Joe Hrudka to sponsor and put the money behind Pro Stock drag racing for NHRA. We were so proud of Warren Johnson. He also built the engine in my Oldsmobile that year! I wish I still had that car.""Keith Black, what a hero. A Dodge bottom-up man. C'mon, he was the horsepower. I remember he was working on the Snake's car when I went to his shop with George and Jack, and I was fascinated with what he did. What an honor to be welcomed into their world, and I mean that with all my heart.""It's about time you got to the King, King Richard! Where do we begin? He had the prettiest teeth. I always wanted him to win so I could kiss him as Miss Firebird. He won a lot and I got to kiss him a lot! And he could talk about me in his sleep and not get in trouble 'cause his wife was named Linda, too! King Richard. He's a great friend and we still stay in touch. I did a benefit last year for Adam Petty and the Victory Junction Gang. Long live the King, and he always had Hurst shifters. I still think he should run for President of the United States because he's got that kind of aura about him. I always tell him 'Richard, when you run for president, I want to be your campaign manager.' Long live the King.""Snaaaaake! My momma always said, 'Snakes crawl at night!' She loved Don. He was a hell of a driver and a hell of a personality. He was one of my mother's favorites. But they named him right!""Oh my god! You know who took this picture? It wasn't Bob D'Olivo, it was Fred Enke, a gorgeous photographer. This was shot in Michigan and it took two days to shoot. I was on the cover of Motor Trend with this. Fred died way too soon, but what a lovely man to work with. I trusted his eye and I let loose and trusted what he was shooting. Nothing against D'Olivo, but I had a little crush on him!""Gentleman Joe Shubeck, Riverside, California. George Hurst let me go to Frederick's of Hollywood and buy that dress. It cost $500 and the bra cost $50, and the gloves cost $50, I'll never forget. I had my hair done in downtown Hollywood. I thought I was hot stuff. Bell made that tuxedo uniform. Shub and I stay in touch. He was something else, still is."

I told her no one here would want it, because 1. it's shit, and 2. I'm sure you'd all rather steal one. But anyway, she asked me to post her link here to see if anyone's interested in buying it because she got a new car a few months ago and still hasn't been able to sell her old one.
I am selling a silver 1.2 Vauxhall Corsa Elegance which I have owned for over 2 years. It has had 2 previous female owners.
It is a 52 reg, has air con, electric front windows, electric mirrors, 11 months MOT, 5 months tax, CD player, height adjustable steering wheel, full size spare tyre, 5 doors and is cheap to insure and tax. The car is in immaculate condition both inside and out and I have the full service history.
I have already purchased my new car and so I am looking for a very quick sale of £2,100 or nearest offer. It has been a perfect first car and first to see will buy. Would make a perfect christmas gift.
Feel free to get in touch about further details or to arrange a viewing.

Riverview, Florida -- Firefighters say the daughter of a man killed in his burning house early Friday morning lives right next door, but wasn't able to help him.
At 3 a.m. Friday, firefighters were called to Cone Grove Road in Riverview. As they arrived, Hillsborough County Fire Rescue crews could tell the fire had been burning and growing for some time before it was reported.
Firefighters had the flames down and out in 20 or 25 minutes, a spokesman said. As they fought the flames, firefighters in their heavy "bunker gear" pressed into the house, searching in the heat and smoke for anyone inside.
That initial sweep found no one.
Then, fire crews talked with the daughter of the elderly man who lived in the house. The daughter lives right next door.
"She stated that her dad possibly was in the home. She was not sure at the time," said HCFR spokesman Ronnie Rivera. "That's when our crews heard the news and we started searching right away for possible victims."
That secondary search found the woman's father in a bedroom. He had not survived.
Fire investigators expect to be inside the charred shell of the house for several hours Friday morning.
They're working to uncover what started the fire and determine why the man wasn't able to escape the fire.
Rivera admits the investigation will be challenging because of the severe damage, which collapsed the roof of the garage and charred and gutted a large part of the home.

Hey all, just looking for some friendly advise. We drew region M tags as a second choice, while building up PP. I have not been able to find alot of info in regards to region M. We have spoken with the bio for the region, but have not been able to get ahold of the GW. We have secured our HMA permission slips, scoured over maps of WIAs and accessible public lands.
The question I have, is hunting around the copper, lysite mtns area. Looking at google earth, looks to have some rougher country, with a fair amount of public lands. Does this area have a decent deer population and is there alot of hunting pressure in the area?
Any insight that may help in our quest for a mule deer would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks again.

My main problem with directv2pc is the parental lock 'feature'. I never set parental locks on my receivers so there is nothing to turn off. I have found the unlock code 0000 works but still adds time to getting into any program that has no rating like baseball games or has a > PG rating.
Maybe there is some work around for this but have not seen the answer yet.
If you go to the menu screen and unlock the Parental setting once, it fixes the issue permanently.

Last week, GamePolitics broke the news that the ultra-conservative Eagle Forum had filed a "friend of the court" brief with the U.S. Supreme Court in support of Calfornia's bid to have its 2005 violent video game law reviewed by the justices.
The rambling brief sought to link video games with everything from school shootings to poor grades to sudden death.
The group, founded by conservative icon Phyllis Schlafly, wades back into gamer space tomorrow when video game critic Arthur Ally appears as a guest on Eagle Forum Live, a radio show hosted by Schlafly.
Ally bills himself as a morally-responsible fund manager. In December his Timothy Plan investment fund issued a list of 30 "most offensive" video games, including the likes of World of Warcraft, Lord of the Rings Online and Halo 3.
Ally also rather famously criticized Army of Two for "somewhat homo-erotic undertones between the two main characters."
Ironically, the conversation between this pair of would-be censors airs at 11:00 a.m. Central Time on Independence Day.

|Girls suffer Homecoming loss, bounce back for Kansas tourney
|Written by Darci Tomky
Homecoming was disappointing for the Lady Dragon volleyball team, who lost to Yuma Friday night, Oct. 5 in a quick three games.
Saturday, Oct. 6 was a different story, though, when Holyoke finished in second place in their St. Francis, Kan. tournament, winning two out of their three games.
Coach Michelle Vieselmeyer said all the Homecoming festivities plus more school activities on top of that just made the week really distracting and tiring for the girls. By Friday evening, they had a hard time focusing on the court.
She said they started off good, with the first game only a three-point 22-25 loss to Yuma. The next two were not good, with HHS defeated 13-25 and 19-25.
Serving errors and poor movement on the court contributed to the loss, said coach Vieselmeyer.
However, she noted Lindsay Helgoth and Jacinda Krueger both had good games attacking at the net as well as in serving.

Bright and early Saturday morning, the girls were off to Kansas, where they first faced their host St. Francis in a match played best two out of three, all to 25 points.
Holyoke won the first set 25-13. St. Francis came out on top in the second, 25-20 over the Dragons. The third sealed the win for HHS, 25-21.
"They started playing like a team again," said Vieselmeyer. The win helped them get their confidence back. She noted Erin Vieselmeyer, Maddie King and Krueger all had great consecutive serves.
Dighton, Kan. was an easy win for the Lady Dragons. They defeated them in two sets, 11-25 and 13-25.
Their final match was against Hayes Center, Neb., which was their most evenly matched team of the day.
Holyoke won the first game 25-17. Ashley Humphreys was a serving machine in the first Hayes Center game, landing an impressive five aces for the Dragons.
The Dragons fell way behind in the second set, but with determination, they started coming back, focusing on each individual point and lessening the gap to a 20-25 loss.
In an exciting third set, Holyoke played hard and really competed, said coach Vieselmeyer. Unfortunately, back and forth scores left HHS on the trailing end for a final score of 25-27.
On the upcoming schedule, the next three matches are conference games, so coach Vieselmeyer said they have been working hard in practice and are looking to put up some wins.
Stats recorded
In Friday's Homecoming game with Yuma, Krueger led the Dragons at the net with 16 attacks including five kills. Helgoth had 13 hits with four kills, and King had 16 hits with three kills.
Erin Vieselmeyer had the most blocks with three block assists. She also landed 40 sets including eight assists for kills.
Helgoth served 16 times for 16 points, and Krueger served 13 for 13 points. They each grabbed three aces for the Dragons.
In passing, King led digs with 12, and Molly Brandt and King each had seven serve receives.
JV and C teams play
Playing Friday against Yuma, Holyoke junior varsity lost in two sets 13-25 and 14-25.
C team was also defeated by Yuma 12-25 and 15-25.
In tournament action in St. Francis, JV beat Dighton 25-21 and 25-18. In a match against St. Francis, HHS won the first game 25-8 but lost the next two 21-25 and 13-15.
Holyoke also hosted an informal round robin Monday, Oct. 8 with Fleming, Yuma and Chase Co., Neb. to give C team players some more experience. They didn't keep score to keep it really laid back, and other high schoolers served as line judges and refs.
Upcoming action
Dragon gym is going pink this Saturday, Oct. 13 for the annual Pink Out game in support of breast cancer awareness. HHS hosts Burlington with games beginning at 1 p.m.
Next Thursday, Oct. 18, the girls travel to Haxtun for 4 p.m. games.

I'm doing a trial for our small (10 person) virtual company, 8 of whom use Macs. One of my main goals is to enable a shared list of company contacts across our team, and to allow everyone to access these contacts from the Mac address book. Being able to edit these contacts is a plus, but not a requirement.
Our host (01.com, who know Macs and have been great so far) has suggested that we create a company mailbox (firstname.lastname@example.com) and share its address book out to all team members.
I know that this will work if everyone uses the web interface. I'm trying to understand how we can use the iSync connector to share company contacts down to team members' local address books.
Here's a bad illustration of our desired situation:
But in looking at the iSync connector, it seems that it doesn't allow "down only" connections... but that it does a full sync between the client user's Address Book and the shared book in the cloud. Won't this mean that each client's addresses are sync'd up to the company book on the cloud... and then consequently sync'd down to all the other client machines?
Is there another way to set this up so that my team can share a common list of contacts, and access them via the address book?
Thanks, in advance, for any helpful insights here.
-- Doug

Kenny Rogers is now Mr. Cool!
In the past year, the veteran country-pop singer has played at the Bonnaroo festival and sat in with Phish. Now he's bound for Glastonbury in England, via the Belly Up in Solana Beach.
How cool has Kenny Rogers become, against all odds, as he approaches his 75th birthday in August?
Let us count the ways:
This summer, the veteran country-pop vocal star will co-headline at Glastonbury, the tres hip rock, hip-hop and Electronic Dance Music festival in England (which the Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival in Indio is partly modeled after).
His Glastonbury gig comes a year after he appeared, however improbably. at the 2012 Bonnaroo festival in Tennessee. There, he sat in with top jam band Phish, who enthusiastically backed him as he (and much of the audience) sang his 1978 hit, "The Gambler."
More improbably, Rogers not only performed a full set with his own band at Bonnaroo (which last year also featured Radiohead, Skrillex and The Roots), he earned some of the best reviews of the four-day festival.
Billboard hailed Rogers as "spellbinding" and "breathtaking," and credited him for delivering "one of the 10 best performances of Bonnaroo 2012."
Spin agreed, noting: "The 73-year-old country star fit in beautifully with the festival's tie-dyed demographic."
Fuse went a step further, gushing: "He delivered the most exciting set of the day."
Rogers, who performs here Thursday at the Belly Up, happily recalled taking the stage at Bonnaroo last year.
"The first thing I said was: 'Kenny Rogers and Bonnaroo? What's wrong with this picture?" he chuckled.
"Because I felt a bit uncomfortable. At the same time, what I've learned is that all the people who cared about my music in my prime forced their kids to listen to it! And while I know that qualifies as child abuse, the audience at Bonnaroo knew those songs of mine...
"I was totally shocked by the degree of acceptance I got and the (favorable) reviews. I don't think I deserved them. And I was shocked, sitting backstage with Phish, to find — in addition to 'The Gambler' — they knew 10 other songs of mine they offered to play. Bonnaroo was a great opportunity for me to do what I do, and then go to their stage for a song."
How did Rogers end up at Bonnaroo in the first place? Is it because his longtime lighting director, Jeff Metter, used to work for the Grateful Dead? Guess again.
"My manager handles (Bonnaroo favorites) Kings of Leon," Rogers replied.
"I really prefer small venues. The thing I learned playing to 60,000 people is, you play to the first 10 rows and acknowledge the last 10. In a small venue, you play to all the rows. It's not important to me that anyone leaves my show saying: 'He was the best singer I've ever heard.' What is important is that people say: 'I had a really good time'."
Now at work on his next album, Rogers doesn't have to work to hard to give fans a good time.
The former jazz bassist — "I liked Charlie Mingus and I really loved Ray Brown's playing in the Oscar Peterson Trio" — has 24 No. 1 singles and 12 No. 1 albums to his credit. A three-time Grammy-winner, he's sold more than 120 million albums worldwide. Moreover, such Rogers songs as "Lucille" — which was memorably covered by the San Diego roots-rock band the Beat Farmers — have become part of the American musical fabric.
"We're all products of our history and, in my case, I loved jazz," Rogers noted from a recent tour stop in Virgina. "I've always said that I'm a country singer who's had a lot of other musical influences. To this day, I love jazz, although some of it today is too abstract for me. My guys in my band are all jazz-capable players and play jazz in their off-time."

GM 4L80E Automatic Transmission - Maximum OverdriveWritten by on November 1, 1997 The GM 4L80E Automatic for Max Power and Good Cruisin'
Overdrive transmissions are great inventions. They allow a car to run deep rear gears for tire-smoking or wheel-hangin' launches yet still maintain some semblance of highway cruising ability. The problem is durability. Most overdrive trannies, even the tried-and-true 700-R4, won't hold up to severe abuse, such as would be seen behind a nitrous'd big-block, for example. In these cases, a TH400 is usually used, and to hell with keeping up with traffic on the way to the cruise scene. But what if you could have TH400 durability with the added benefit of an overdrive Fourth gear? And how 'bout if it were fully adjustable to suit any need? Welcome to the '90s.
The 4L80E is a truck automatic transmission that was introduced by GM in the early '90s. It basically uses many of the same internal components as the TH400 but has an overdrive Fourth gear and uses electronics to control shift points, firmness and that sort of thing. The reason you haven't seen many of them in hot rods is because the electronics run off the vehicle computer—which most older cars don't have—and there hasn't been an easily programmable, stand-alone computer available to make it work in a carbureted application. But that's all changed, thanks to companies like Art Carr and The Turbo Shop.
Both of these companies have been installing the 4L80E into cars and have come up with the wiring and computer controls to make it possible. As you can see in the photos, Art Carr modifies the tailshaft housing to accept a mechanical speedometer drive (late-model vehicles in which the 4L80E is used require an electronic speedo) and use either a stock diesel truck transmission computer with a custom chip and wiring harness to operate the trans, or sophisticated Motec Systems computer controls. The Turbo Shop has an outfit that comes with a custom cast-aluminum tailshaft housing with a mechanical speedo drive and the option of several different trans mounts for various applications. The Turbo Shop also uses the simple and relatively inexpensive GM diesel computer and a custom wiring harness to operate the trans.
Roughly 75 percent of the 4L80E's internal parts are interchangeable with a TH400, and the bellhousing bolt pattern and flexplate are the same as the 400, so it bolts up to big- or small-blocks just like normal. In a carbureted application, the only other concession to the computer is a throttle-position sensor (TPS) mounted to the carburetor, which is included in Art Carr's and The Turbo Shop's kits.
As you can also see, the 4L80E is big and heavy, but it will still fit in most GM musclecars. Steve Cole at The Turbo Shop put one in a '69 Chevelle and had to pound the tunnel just 1/4-inch at one point to make room for the cooler lines. And a 4L80E fit in Jerry Snider's Buick Grand National after only a small bit of hammering on the tunnel. The only drawback is price. Whereas you can usually get a good performance 700-R4 for around $1,500, a 4L80E from Art Carr will set you back between $2,500 and $3,000, depending on which converter is selected. But that includes a rebuilt trans with beefed-up internals, a computer, a wiring harness, a custom chip, the TPS and everything else necessary for your application.

From left to right are the 4L80E, a 700-R4 (also known as the 4L60) and a TH400. Depending on the converter used, the 4L80E is roughly 100 pounds heavier than the TH400, so it's no lightweight.On the left is the 4L80E input shaft, overdrive assembly and the forward clutch assembly. Notice the beefy input shaft. It measures 1.120 inches at the bushing as opposed to the TH400's 1-inch shaft.In performance applications, Art Carr beefs up the 4L80E even further with a TH400 direct drum and sprag, shown on the left. The 400 has a 34-element sprag, compared with the 4L80E's eight-element sprag.The 4L80E has a four-clutch pack while the 400 only uses three. To increase friction, Carr uses Kolene steels (left) for the clutch pack.The 4L80E has a huge trans pan, which is necessary to contain the huge electronically controlled valvebody. A TH400 valvebody is being held up for a comparison. Many of the standard tricks for shift firmness are still used, such as different springs and other valvebody tricks, but the final decision on everything is made by the computer. Art Carr prefers to make internal valvebody changes to alter the shift "timing" and then only slightly alter line pressure with the computer. If the only changes in the name of shift firmness are made through the computer, the line pressure can sometimes be too high and damage parts.A problem with installing the 4L80E into an older car is the lack of a mechanical speedometer drive. Thankfully, the output shaft is the same diameter as a TH400, and a TH400 speedo drive gear slides right on.

COLLEGE PARK, Md. (WUSA9) -- The University of Maryland violated the state's Open Meetings Act, while discussing the move to the Big Ten Conference, a recent investigation found.
The University decided, in November, to move its athletics from the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) to the Big Ten.
The Maryland Compliance Board decided that the University's Board of Regents violated the Open Meetings Act by holding the majority of their meetings in private, without notice to the public, according to a document they release to the media.
"Accordingly, we find that the Board of Regent Violated the Open Meetings Act by failing to give public notice of its November 18 and 19, 2012, special meetings and by failing to follow the Act's mandatory procedures for closing an opening meeting," the documents stated.

Hey there, folks!
As I find great joy in looking at fictional maps and am struggling hard myself to produce a beautiful yet practical map for the various fantasy novels I am working on it was but a matter of time until I'd show up here and register!
I'm looking forward to browsing through some tutorials or getting some tips or even digital aid by fellow mapmakers on here to improve my little Photoshop 'skills' usually only used for outlining and coloring my manga inspired drawings and eventually succeed in making this fantasy map I am craving for.
I hope we'll all get along well!

Homebuilding revival sparks land rush
As land prices soar, savvy developers who bought up properties during economic downturn are in enviable position.
First in a three-part series on homebuilding in San Diego County.
When most developers fled the sinking San Diego housing market, Brad Termini and business partner Dane Chapin stuck around to shop for project failures.
They bought land foreclosures for as little as half price during the past five years of uncertainty to carry out $150 million in residential land development.
"We've never bought a piece of land that we didn't have three people we know really well say we're crazy, we overpaid and don't know what we're doing," said Termini, co-chief executive of Zephyr Partners, a private developer in San Diego.
Once ridiculed, Zephyr now finds itself in a seemingly enviable position in the local real estate market. The heavily discounted supply of land it has acquired since the recession's start is the kind of stuff its competitors, public and private builders, are struggling to secure — and at a reasonable price.
Rising home prices and a sunnier consumer outlook have sent homebuilders into a frenzy to buy land in San Diego County and resume once-stalled projects. Land analysts say the demand for lots has returned to that of peak times — causing lot prices to soar. It also raises concerns of deteriorating affordability for consumers.
Still, like consumers, homebuilders and developers are hungry for product.
"We've talked to industry experts who have been in the business for 20-plus years ... and pretty consistently, they say it's one of the most heated markets experienced in their careers," said Termini, of Zephyr Partners.
Construction returning
After a six-year lull, homebuilding in the county is chugging along at a steady pace. Master-planned projects shelved during the downturn make up the bulk of new-home development in San Diego County.
At the height of the market in 2003, San Diego saw nearly 9,500 construction permits for new homes. That number fell nearly 81 percent in 2009, the worst year for U.S. homebuilding since 1959.
Even during the building lull, certain major homebuilders — particularly those with lots of capital — recognized the importance of continuing land shopping in California. Between fall 2009 and 2011, Los Angeles-based KB Homes infused more than $1 billion into land investments, focusing on Texas and California.
Builders have stayed loyal to California because it's viewed as a highly desirable place to live. Lower-than-normal mortgage rates have added to the list of reasons consumers want to buy real estate here.
"From the Bay Area to Orange County and San Diego, the demand for new homes in these desirable markets was never met in the boom years," said KB Homes chief executive Jeffrey Mezger, in a September 2011 earnings call transcribed by financial website Seeking Alpha.
"People have always wanted to live in these areas near jobs, transit, recreation and good schools," Mezger added.
Irvine-based Standard Pacific also has kept a laser focus on acquiring lots in the Golden State. Knowing the challenges of buying residential parcels in San Diego County on their own, it went straight for a legacy project.
In September, Standard Pacific finalized a deal with a local developer to control 1,700 undeveloped lots at Del Sur, a master-planned community mothballed during the recession. The company spent $246 million in the third quarter to acquire 3,500 home sites in San Diego, which included the Del Sur lots.
KB Homes recently struck similar deals as other companies waffled about re-entering the California market. It closed on two coastal communities in North County, the company said.
The idea was to build lot volume, more easily done with existing projects.
"Our early mover advantage of acquiring land at favorable prices in the right locations, (was) first going after finished lots and then leveraging our strong master plan and development capabilities to pursue raw land," said Mezger, of KB Homes.

The frustrating thing is that Nikon has aimed low rather than aiming high.
So rather than offer serious photographers an alternative to a GF1, NEX-7, Fuji X100, NX200 or EP-3, Nikon is offering a big, expensive alternative to the P&S market.
And honestly I am not thrilled with any of the "serious" cameras I gave as examples, except maybe the GF1 which is discontinued and the X100 which is utterly unavailable. Therefore, it would have been nice for Nikon to swoop in and really nail a great design of an APS mirrorless camera.
Unfortunately, Canon will likely aim low as well.

Ned Yost media session: Opening Day 2011
Royals manager Ned Yost touched on the excitement surrounding Opening Day as his team prepared to take batting practice Thursday at Kauffman Stadium. He said one great part of his managerial role is getting to see rookies who are enthusiastic about making their big league debuts. When asked if he could remember a similar experience during his playing career, Yost likened the feeling to a 10-year-old child on Christmas morning.
Yost commented that his club is ready to compete "when it counts" and said he expects his squad to play hard while continuing their great work ethic that was displayed in spring training. He noted that his starting pitchers should comfortably be able to throw around 100 pitches with that number gradually expanding as the season moves along.
With Thursday marking Yost's first home opener as the Royals skipper, he acknowledged that he is thrilled for his players who will play in front of an energetic sellout crowd.

The Bruins have found a way to win this short season with great goal tending, defence and timely scoring, BUT look out the Habs are tied with us atop of the conference and this is a very big game for us on Sunday.
The Bruins and Habs both are coming off back to backs with the Habs having the tougher time in losing in OT to the Pens in a high scoring game and that may help the Bruins at home. The B's have to use all they have in their arsinal to keep their hold on 1st and score as much as possible and on the PP.
The Habs are much improved and the test for the Bruins and TR will be to play their game at a much higher level and be as physical as they can.
A win for the Bruins vs the Habs will be the confidence boaster they need in this short season to be the stepping stone to get us the cup. It will also keep in 1ST.

That would be the Carolina Panthers, me being a NC resident.
We've got some good young players. Unfortunately, our old GM, Marty Hurney, completely blew up what was a huge amount of room under the salary cap by massively overpaying several players with new contracts in the few months before he left and put us in salary cap Hell. Now, new GM Dave Gettelman will have to get us out from under and that may take a couple or more years. I've got faith in him, though.
And, since I used to live in Denver, I still root for the Broncos. I'm glad to see them doing well, under our old coach, no less.

text: These short fiction and prose pieces display the variety of Twain's imaginative invention, his diverse talents, and his extraordinary emotional range. Twain was a master of virtually every prose genre; in fables and stories, speeches and essays, he skilfully adapted, extended or satirized literary conventions, guided only by his unruly imagination. From the comic wit that sparkles in maxims from 'Pudd'nhead Wilson's Calendar,' to the parodic perfection of 'An Awful – Terrible Medieval Romance,' to the satirical delights of The Innocents Abroad and Roughing It; from the warm nostalgia of 'Early Days' to the bitter, brooding tone of 'The Man That Corrupted Hadleyburg' to the anti-imperial vehemence of 'To the Person Sitting in the Darkness' and the poignant grief expressed in 'Death of Jean', Twain emerges in this volume in many guises, all touched by genius.

Client Insights, Managing Consultant, IBM Center for Applied Insights
Today we're launching new research of financial services that build on findings from our global cross-industry study, Why partnering strategies matter, released in May of this year. Here, I'll explore how the financial services industry compares to our global study - where they outperform, and where they have an opportunity to improve performance.
What did we find?
The financial services sector has faced a number of challenges in recent years. A global economic crisis slowed growth and put pressure on these enterprises to creatively cut costs while also facing increased governmental compliance and regulatory requirements. Client expectations and sophistication also rose. Similar to respondents in our global study, leading financial firms began a shift in sourcing motivations and execution.
As reported in our cross-industry study, leaders that source broadly and for innovation do better financially, reporting 2x revenue growth and 5x gross profit growth compared to their peers. Financial services respondents are no different. What is different for financial services companies is increased attention on agility achieved through new business and operating models, and responding better by anticipating market shifts.
Does the financial services industry partner differently?
First, we looked at how financial services compare to global respondents across four partnering strategies. When we look at extent of outsourcing and primary sourcing motivation, we find a higher percent of Enterprise Innovators and Enterprise Optimizers in financial services. What does this mean? Respondents in financial services are at the forefront of this shift in sourcing strategy - sourcing more broadly across the organization compared to their industry peers.
Are business priorities and partner capabilities different?
Enterprise Innovators in the financial services sector are similar to leaders in other industries - putting an emphasis on agility and responsiveness to achieve desired business results. However, financial services leaders differ in three areas: their focus on enabling new business models to outperform, anticipating market shifts, and creating a culture of innovation throughout the organization. Enterprise Innovators in financial services order these priorities more than 20 percent higher than their peers in other industries.
Can these leaders do more?
Financial services organizations can do more to improve the connection between shifting sourcing motivations and execution. Enterprise Innovators in financial services are aligning their services with business outcomes, but are less likely to tie metrics to business outcomes. They are on par in transforming their scope to include a broad range of delivery models, include partners in strategy, and vertically integrate contracts across infrastructure, business processes, and applications. However, when it comes to skills, they are less likely to make the required role changes to current personnel. Finally, they are moving toward integrating governance across service providers, but can improve by implementing enterprise-wide governance.

Hi All!
Our school district in the middle of a massive migration from GroupWise 7.0 to Zimbra. We have about 10K users. The IT group has been migrated, including me. I'm the Network Manager (formerly email admin but now, thankfully, that headache has been shifted to another poor shmuck ;-) )
One indispensable feature of GW was the ability of Notify to trigger an action. I used this heavily to cause different events - calendar or incoming email - to send a text message to my cell phone. This not only prevented me from missing meetings ( I do NOT sit in front of a computer all day) - it allowed me to respond to alarms from various unhappy devices
I'm desperate to get Zimbra to do the same. (BTW we are using only the AJAX-enabled web interface at present)
Is this possible? Please help!

I got this bag for Christmas and it's adorable! Although it hasn't had much use yet, the material seems very durable so I expect this bag to last. The two small pockets on the inside are big enough to slide your phone and such things into, which is nice. The pocket on the outside is good for slim or small things, nothing too bulky. This bag is a great size so it should fit everything you need! I love this bag!
Best bag ever
OMG this is the best bag ever. I really like it. It's very roomy. And fits on the shoulder very comfortably.

Associated Press Release
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) -- Silver Springs, one of Florida's oldest tourist attractions, is going out of business and will become a state park.
The north Florida attraction, famed for its glass bottom boats, has been plagued by low attendance and pollution, which has clouded its once-clear waters.
Gov. Rick Scott and the Florida Cabinet on Wednesday agreed to accept a $4 million lease buy-out from Palace Entertainment.
The lease had called for the firm to manage the state-owned property near Ocala as an attraction through 2029. It now will end on Sept. 30. Palace will continue to manage the property as a tourist attraction until then, and then the Florida Park Service will take over.
The buy-out funds will be used to help clean up the pollution and restore the property to its natural condition.

Prowlin' in PasoWritten by on August 24, 2005 Contributors: Kevin Lee West Coast Kustoms Hosts Another Winner
It has become a pilgrimage for many to make their way annually to the West Coast Kustoms event in Paso Robles, California, over Memorial Day weekend. While cars come from all across the nation, enthusiasts come from much further than from inside our national borders. Most every continent is represented by custom and hot rod fans who come to see the brightest and best the traditional scene has to offer.
The weekend begins with cruising for event participants up and down the main city drag well into the night, with car lovers lined up at the curb to watch the endless parade of chrome, metal flake, and rumbling exhaust pipes. On Saturday, the park in the center of town fills up early for the main event. Hot rodders of all ages mix together to witness the finest examples of retro rods and customs.
The day moves by all too fast and, as the sun sets, the park clears out as the bands set up for the hip-swayin' "Dancing in the Street" festivities. The live music fills the air late into the night. Most take the opportunity to sleep in a little later on Sunday before converging back at the park for the final day in the sun. As the afternoon rolls around, the awards are handed out, and friends from around the globe say their farewells until they all meet again in the same place on the same weekend next year.
If you've not yet experienced the West Coast Kustoms event in Paso Robles, do yourself a big favor and make plans to be there next year--you won't be disappointed.
Powerplants Of PasoOne thing that was clearly noticeable in comparison to other car events was that engines, especially interesting, well-dressed engines, were a highlight of the Paso Robles event. While the venerable Chevy small-blocks and Ford Flatheads were represented, alternate vintage power was easy to find in every direction. Everything from Ford Y-blocks, to Buick Nailheads, Oldsmobile Rockets, Cadillac V-8s, and even more diverse power like Studebaker engines were all seen in fine hot rod dress. Here's a sample of what could be found, with many more interesting mills making a mighty roar.

Who wouldn't want to cruise this thing to work every day?Friday night in Paso Robles means cruising the main drag and everyone lining up at the curb to watch the parade of awesome rods and customs roll by...
Always known for pushing customs to the next level, Gary Chopit has moved all the way to the next universe in his space ship-inspired bubble-topped custom.Candy never looked as sweet as the candy red paint on Juan Goodinez' Buick-wired '47 Chevy convertible.Another dramatic debut was Buzz Owens' tasty '51 Chevy from Alta Loma. Look for more on this one very soon.Debuting at Paso was Marty Wells freshly finished chopped and dropped shoebox with a '57 Chevy bumper up front and a '56 unit in the rear.Accompanying his wife in her sedan was Tom Branch in his '32 lowboy, also running a Studie mill. The new wheel treatment gives one of our longtime favorites a fresh look.Ron and Jeni Brooks brought their traditional Bay Area '40 Chevy custom convertible down to the show from Castro Valley. This is where customizing started, and it still looks fresh today.
Rob Fortier (editor of Classic Trucks) might have to work with trucks all day, but his heart belongs to customs, as is evident by his sweet '54 Chevy. It was lookin' good under its fresh coat of Andre Carrey-applied two-tone blue paint.John and Jake Babcock came all the way from Palatine, IL, to be a part of the weekend with their '40 Mercury convertible.Shawn from San Louis Obispo feels no need for a last name with his sweet and low '56 Chevy working as his calling card.This original custom convertible sedan had hibernated for many decades before the current owner recently brought the V-8-60 powered piece of history back to life.Mid-century Mopars were practically customs right off the showroom floor and Ron Wiswell from Apple Valley made just the right tweaks to his boulevard beauty.After languishing outdoors and neglected for many years in a tow yard, it was great to see that George Cerney's old chopped Plymouth wagon will finally be undergoing a full restoration sometime soon. George had a paint shop, so the car saw many different paint jobs during its heyday. It'll be interesting to see which one is chosen for the restoration.Excellent metalwork on this chopped Ford sedan was on display for all to admire, from the Packard taillights to the '40 Ford sedan rear window.
Rare speed equipment like the pieces on the Studebaker V-8 would be very hard to find on any other weekend, but this was not the only well-dressed example on display.While the rest of Gary Chopit's latest custom is completely unique, one thing very recognizable is the decked-out Chevy small-block.Multiple carbs (especially six) almost seemed to be mandatory at Paso judging by the number of mills we checked out like this six-carbed Chevy small-block.A healthy Buick Nailhead will make light work of any lightweight open-wheeled hot rod. This one should scoot just fine.Not as common with the street rod set, examples of early muscle like this Ford Y-block make for a badge of honor with the traditional set.Even a high-performance Chevy six-cylinder inline mill fits right in with this crowd who demands more creative power.

Another Road Win, Double Digits For Softball
The Pasadena City College softball team won its second straight South Coast Conference road game Tuesday while reaching double figures in runs once again in a 12-1, six-inning rout over host El Camino College-Compton Center.
The Lancers are 12-13 under second-year head coach Brittany Williams, including a .500 mark in conference at 4-4. This month, PCC has scored 10 or more runs in all four of its victories.
At Compton, the Lancers held a slim 3-1 lead going into the top of the sixth, then proceeded to score nine runs in sending 14 batters to the plate. Shortstop Katelyn Thordarson, who batted 3-for-5, ripped a 3-RBI triple to highlight the long offensive display. It was her second hit of the inning. The game was called after six innings due to the 8-run mercy rule.
Second baseman Emily Cuiriz (pictured) went 2-for-3 with two RBI while third baseman Audrey Serna batted 2-for-5 with a double. Catcher Allison Lacey, centerfielder Monica Enriquez, and designated player Natalie Ficocelli each had one hit and one RBI while first baseman Sara Quintero drew three hit by pitches in her four trips to the plate (0-for-1).
Pitcher Cierra Newton, out with an injury the past few weeks, returned to the circle and hurled a 4-hitter with four strikeouts to even her record at 5-5. Compton's (2-13, 0-8 in SCC play) lone highlight was a triple by outfielder Brenda Fermin.
The Lancers return to Robinson Park Thursday, March 14 when they host Cerritos College in a 2 p.m. conference contest.

When creating polylines from segments in QCAD, currently once the first segment is selected, be it line or arc -QCAD changes all corresponding connecting segments from start to end to a polyline which is on the same layer(including attributes) as the initial selected choice. This as we know is expected behavior.
I would like to see an additional option added to the 'Create from Segment' tool that also allows the user to first highlight a specific layer to create the polyline on...doing away with the need to be so precise with the initial choice (make sure you select the first segment on the layer you want to finish up with). Maybe this would be a two step process here, but it would sure help I think.
What thoughts have others got about this - good idea or not, is there any thing I'm missing here that would make things more difficult if this additional option would to be added ?

Whenever you smell the lovely smell of fresh coffee or drop a tea bag into hot water you're benefiting from diffusion: the fact that particles moving at random under the influence of thermal energy spread themselves around. It's this process that wafts coffee particles towards your nose and allows the tea to spread around the water. Diffusion underlies a huge number of processes and it has been studied intensively for over 150 years. Yet it wasn't until very recently that one of the most important assumptions of the underlying theory was confirmed in an experiment.

Just heard on Kxno that the Big 10 has extended offers to Virginia, North Carolina and FSU.
That didn't take long...
Maybe the B1G will gobble up all the teams, become ridiculously powerful, and overthrow the abomination known as the NCAA.
Stupid. FSU joining the B1G makes less sense than them joining the Big 12, geographically.
'Any fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius-and a lot of courage-to move in the opposite direction.'
Carolina trying to avoid Duke?
Pretty soon the entire nation is going to be in the Big 10.
Not seeing anything on this other than here. Anyone got more confirmation than KXNO?
A world without yoga pants and Planter's cheese balls, is a world I no longer want to live in.

Not us.... They already have all the TV sets in Iowa.....
If they grab FSU, the B12 really missed a chance to expand (unless they were turned down).
Ken Silverstein from the BTN was the guy on the radio.

I heard earlier today from a different source than KXNO that they had extended a invite to North Carolina, did not mention the other 2 though.

Bummed if true about FSU, UVA/UNC might as well be in stone by now though. Don't blame FSU for wanting out of ACC (they're already flying to Boston, PA, New York and soon Connecticut), but think they and a few other ACC teams would be a better fit in an expanded Big 12 than Big Ten.
If this is true I find it the strangest way for it to be reported. Why would a BTN guy go on KXNO and talk about B1G expansion? Why wouldn't their website report, why not leak it to an internet site. KXNO seems like a strange place for this to start.
not even close to 10 teams , that is *********

Unnecessary plowing
I would like to know how come some of the streets in Brandon are rutted from not being plowed and some of the hills in the east end on the 100-block are hard to get up because the snow has loosened, and when you go up them, you just spin your tires and yet the city wastes money on the 200-, 300-, 400-block of Percy Street plowing the snow into the middle of the street and hauling it away. These streets are not bus routes nor do they have parking meters or are on school routes, so why are they wasting time and taxpayers' money plowing these streets when it is just going to melt away in a month anyway?
