The Fun Is In The RunWritten by on October 21, 2005 Tom's Fun Rub Goes Nationide
The event itself may have had a new name borrowed from another historic driving event, but Tom's Fun Run ran like a well-oiled machine thanks to some careful planning, great tour leaders, and the great shops that hosted tours along its long and winding route. With five starting points across the country, Tom's Fun Run had one final destination: the Goodguys Hot Rod Nationals in Columbus, Ohio. The various legs of the cruise started out according to how long it would take to get to Columbus, meeting along the way and joining forces as the week of cruising progressed..
The Mooneyes tour, led by Chico, set out from California eight days before the event and was the first leg of TFR to get their motors running. They would eventually meet up with the Vintage Air tour in Texas and pick up TFR's unofficial tour leader, Rick Love, in his flamed '39 Ford coupe. Together the growing group motored across the country until meeting up at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway museum with the Heidt's tour, led by Gary Heidt. The final group to join the growing procession of hot rods was the Fatman Fabrication tour, led by Brent Vandvort. The Borgeson tour made their own route and met everyone in Columbus.
Drivers and tour leaders got together each morning to discuss the day's route and any last-minute changes before hitting the road. Most people stayed together, but some ventured out on their own. Both methods were equally enjoyable.
All the careful planning paid off when the entire group rolled into Columbus, Ohio, on Thursday afternoon, exactly as scheduled, to enjoy the weekend at the Goodguys event. A huge thanks from the R&C staff goes out to our tour leaders: Mooneyes, Vintage Air, Heidt's Hot Rod Shop, Fatman Fabrication, and Borgeson. This event wouldn't be possible without the support of these companies and the people behind them.
Plans for next year's event are already being made to make the L.A. Roadster show in Pomona, California, the final destination. So far it looks like we'll have a tour coming out of Texas lead by Vintage Air, one out of Washington lead by Art Morrison Enterprises, and maybe one leaving from the Goodguys Indy event. Stay tuned for further details and Tom's Fun Run announcements.
Daily Diary
Day 1 After months of anticipation, we gathered early at Mooneyes in Santa Fe Springs with a group of spirited drivers and copilots, and after a briefing by tour leader Chico, we set off out of L.A. and rolled toward Arizona. Chico braved the heat and open road in Dean Moon's original shop truck, which had only a couple hundred miles on the fresh 410ci FE under the hood. Some cooling issues turned up in the 110-plus-degree Arizona heat but were worked out along the way. Our first stop was to check out the Hall of Flame museum in Phoenix, where we saw many amazing examples of early firefighting apparatus, both horse-drawn and motorized. We finished up the day with a stop at SO-CAL of Arizona to see what they had cooking. First day down and already the benefits of air conditioning and a good cooling system have been deeply noted in the Arizona heat (yeah, but at least it's dry heat just like my oven--KL).
Day 2 The second day started with a visit to the Pima Air and Space Museum in Tucson. Beyond hangers full of planes and memorabilia, there were unique and historic planes spread over 70 acres, including every kind of winged machine from early one-manned experimentals to fighters and even the heaviest bombers the military has ever put in service. After a great history lesson, we headed out to Las Cruces, New Mexico, for a great Mexican dinner in its old town and a night's rest.
Day 3 The day began looking out across the white sands of New Mexico as we approached the New Mexico Museum of Space History in Alamogordo. The full story of man's "race for space" all the way back to the 17th century is told inside this museum. Early unmanned missions to trips with dogs, monkeys, and eventually human flights are documented with artifacts and photographs. After a few hours there, the hot rods rumbled along without a problem into Big Springs, Texas. The charm of these cities that have not been forced to modernize themselves to death is a real treat. The small towns are home to lots of interesting buildings and even more interesting people.
Day 4 Our fourth day began crossing the big state of Texas for a visit to Painless Wiring. The mission of the day was for the Mooneyes tour to meet up with the Vintage Air tour out of San Antonio. After a trip through the Painless Wiring facility to see where the looms in so many hot rods are born, and being treated to some lunch, both tours headed out together as one, with Vintage Air's Rick Love leading the way toward McAlester, Oklahoma, for the night stop. After a few days on the road, we came to the conclusion that there's no shortage of '50s-era GM pickups. Seemed as if every farm and field housed at least one in various stages of decomposition.
Day 5 We woke up with dark skies and some heavy rain this morning (only really bad weather of the whole trip), but luckily it cleared after about a half hour on the road. We paid a visit to the USS Batfish WWII submarine and memorial, fittingly patriotic for the first stop on the Fourth of July. It's a shock to see a huge submarine sitting on a well-groomed grass field (it's the most land-locked sub on display), but inside this excellently preserved submarine you really get the feel for what it was like for so many Navy officers and crewmen to spend months in the ocean waters around the world. After a look around and some reflection, we were back in the cars pressing on until dinner, which was hosted by Wolfert's Tool & Machine in St. James, Missouri. Jack Chisenhall's reputation must have preceded him because, in addition to some chicken, they also had gallons of ice cream (Jack even left some for the rest of us). The local Lion's Club carnival was the last stop of the night for those on the tour who wanted to brave the funnel cake line and some Fourth of July fireworks.
Day 6 The day after our country's birthday continued on a patriotic theme with a trip to the St. Louis Gateway Arch. This historic piece of architecture is much more than a shiny piece of metal in the sky; it's a true symbol of American ingenuity and determination. A brief tour of the surrounding area, thanks to some unexpected closed off-ramps, provided a glimpse at some interesting old--although somewhat rundown--buildings. We acted like tourists and rode to the top of the arch like sardines crammed in a can for a bird's eye view of St. Louis. After we had our fill, we finished the day with a tour of Air Ride Technologies impressive facility and some of the best food of the trip. Thanks, Bret!
Day 7 We met up with the Heidt's leg at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Museum. After lunch in the same cafe racing legends have eaten in for decades, our rapidly growing group toured the Indy museum for an opportunity to soak up some of motorsports' greatest machines and accomplishments. So many advancements used in our daily transportation were developed in the racers that have roared around the "Brickyard."
Meanwhile, over on the Borgeson tour, we learned right away that Borgeson head honcho Gerry Zordan doesn't miss a chance for an adventure. So even though he was in the middle of moving his company to a newer, larger facility, he was eager to move a small but enthusiastic band of rodders from Torrington, Connecticut, to Columbus. It was only a couple hours into the trip, however, that all movement came to an abrupt halt. Billy O'Connell's '48 Merc, piloted by Gerry, ran over a piece of road debris just inside the Pennsylvania border, causing the radiator mount to bust up the bottom of the radiator. Luckily, a local rodder--Jim McNeil of the Orange City Roadsters--was located through the NSRA Fellow Pages and helped locate a shop where the Merc could be stored until it could be towed back to Torrington. Gerry caught a ride in Billy O's '32 roadster.
Day 8 Bright and early on the final day, the Mooneye/Vintage Air/Heidt's tour headed over to the Brookville Roadster headquarters and met up with the Fatman Fabrications tour to get a behind-the-scenes look at how the pieces of many adult children's dreams are made. Careful planning by Brookville Roadster has never seen one of their great products go out of production in over 30 years of constant production and product development. After wishing for one of everything, we moved onto the U.S. Air Force's incredible Wright-Patterson Museum. We'd been to a lot of museums throughout the week, but this one definitely topped the list, not only for its colossal size, but also for the amazing artifacts inside. The final stop before we headed into Columbus was the Dayton Wire Wheel facility for a tour and some grub. As we were reminded throughout the week of tours, it was again obvious that great American products are still made by great American hands.
On the Borgeson leg, Summit Racing had coffee and donuts waiting when they got to their store in Tallmadge, Ohio. It's more like a center for car clubs and enthusiasts, with historic race cars on display, bulletin boards tacked with ads and event announcements, and aisle after aisle of products.

Roadster Car Show - Elite MeetWritten by on April 26, 2007 The 57th Grand National Roadster Show
The 2006 Grand National Roadster Show marks the 57th year for this remarkable, historic, and prestigious king of all indoor car shows. In addition, it marks the show's third year at the Fairplex in Pomona, California, and its first year under the ownership of John Buck Enterprises, which purchased the GNRS from Dan Cyr since the last time we were here.
In the three years since it came south from the Bay Area, the Grand National Roadster Show has been growing into the facilities at the Fairplex. The venue has the advantage of allowing the vehicles and vendors to spread into the main exhibition building and five more 100x300-ft buildings. New this year as well, thanks to the Fairplex's layout and Southern California's mid-winter summer-like climate, was a Saturday Cruise-In, which filled the areas around the building with cars that were equally as nice as those inside.
In another new and welcome twist, one of the exhibit halls was temporarily renamed the Suede Palace, and set aside specifically for low-dollar, traditionally styled rides. Primer was not a requirement but was warmly welcomed. Live swing and rockabilly bands set the musical tone at this end of the event.
Of course, the big draw was in the main hall, where the high-end cars vied for the big award-America's Most Beautiful Roadster. Many of these competitors were finished only a few days before arriving in Pomona.
We set up Rod & Custom mission control in a room above the main hall and kept our R&C Web site crackling with up-to-the-minute information and photos from the event, which you can see at www.rodandcustommagazine.com.
If you'd like to see your car in next year's coverage, contact www.hotrodshows.com for information on participating in the 2007 Grand National Roadster Show. We know we'll be there.

San Jose, CA (Sports Network) - The difference in travel between Syracuse and
California to San Jose, approximately 2,850 miles.
The Orange, though, don't seem to care how far they have to travel the way
they've been playing lately.
C.J. Fair netted 18 points in the Orange's 66-60 win over the Golden Bears in
the third round of the NCAA Tournament in front of a partisan Cal crowd at HP
James Southerland tallied 14 points and nine rebounds, while Michael Carter-
Williams added 12 points for fourth-seeded Syracuse (28-9), which advanced to
its 17th Sweet Sixteen appearance under head coach Jim Boeheim.
The Orange dropped four of their last five regular season games before
defeating Seton Hall, Pittsburgh and Georgetown en route to a championship
game appearance in the Big East Tournament. Syracuse, though, blew a 16-point
second-half lead against Louisville in the title game.
Syracuse will play the winner of Sunday's Indiana/Temple game in Washington,
D.C. on Thursday.
Richard Solomon finished with 22 points and 14 boards for the 12th-seeded
Golden Bears (21-12), who upset fifth-seeded UNLV in the second round on

Here is a little video I put together on my Alaskan Moose Adventure.
Very cool! Looks like quite the adventure. Thanks for sharing
Very nice. What a great hunt for you and your pals
Thanks for sharing BB looks like you guys had a great hunt!!!!
Good video of a good hunt, thanks for sharing
Very nice Matt! I think it's time to quit applying for moose in the lower 48 and head to Alaska. Very cool to see you could do an adventure like that off of ATVs. Loved the Stone sheep footage too. I'm just full of questions! Did you guys run into any caribou? How many actual hunting days were you guys there for?
We did see some caribou. We did not see any bears or wolves, just tracks from both. Several Ptarmigan too. We were there for 12 days. We were able to get really deep (like 30 miles deeP) on the wheelers. There are unmaintained and unmapped river trails in a lot of places.
That tundra makes for some weird, challenging hiking too!
Awesome video! Thanks for sharing!!
Nicely done Matt. Sure looks like that was a fun trip.
Nice video! Looks like a great time.

ALEXANDRIA, Va. (WUSA) -- President Obama Tuesday called on congress to pass a temporary alternative fix to the coming sequestration cuts that threaten recession and, according to the Congressional Budget Office, a million jobs.
"We should give them the chance to come up with this budget instead of making indiscriminate cuts now that will cost U.S. jobs and significantly slow down our recovery," President Obama said.
Washington, DC area contractors who do business with the federal government say the potential of those across-the-board sequestration cuts is causing uncertainty that makes business planning nearly impossible.
"It's very uncertain. People are not sure whether they are going to have new opportunities to go through because of all the delays
and the uncertainty of what's going to get funded and, most importantly, the people who are employed now don't know whether they're going to have a job tomorrow because we don't know where the cuts are going to come from," said Managing Partner Cos DiMaggio of Alexandria's The Tauri Group.
The Tauri Group provides analytical decision support and program management to primarily federal clients who are involved in very technically-oriented programs in national defense, homeland security and aerospace.
Not knowing what the government is going to do makes business planning impossible, he says.
"It means we have to plan for a much greater variety of scenarios,
everything from normal planning, you plan on a certain level of success based on past history, to everything imploding, and what do you do then," DiMaggio said.
He says the worst part of the uncertainty is "if there are going to be cuts that come through sequestration, as opposed to some measured process, they're indiscriminate. They are without regard to priorities. Everything gets cut, and everything gets cut in a significant way."
Some contractors have begun to act in anticipation of the worst.
"One of the things that we have already started seeing is that some companies, in fact one of our subcontractors, issued a preemptive layoff notice just yesterday. In other words they sent letters to about 15 of their employees saying you're out of a job in a couple of weeks unless things get better, even though there is funding right now for that work."

I think you might make the lower level darker because as soon as the shadows of the stairs end it becomes as bright as the upper level. This blows the descending look you have going. If this is in a larger map and you don't want to show the entire lower level in a darker shadow you would have to have a light source, such as a torch or something. You might also be able to pull it off by just darkening the shadow for a ways down the hall and gradually returning back to the same shade as the upper level but it might just look like a ramp.
That's what I would try anyway. If I have time tomorrow I will try to show you what I'm talking about in case I'm not making sense. I'm a little brain shot right now.

A New Sample Set & Three New Coffees
August 19, 2015
Sweet Maria's Liquid Amber Espresso Blend - A potent, pungent blend for espresso beverages. It's ideal for milk drinks, as this intense bittersweet cuts through the steamed milk. Rustic sweetness, spice, savory notes, long aftertaste. Monsooned coffee and a small percentage of Robusta add crema and body. Vienna roast.
Colombia Huila -Caficultor Perfil - a nice blend of unrefined sugar and honeyed sweetness, along with dashes of raisin and dried cherry. An illuminating tartaric acidity highlights the cup, and middle roasts develop lasting chocolate bittersweetness. Good for espresso.
Ethiopia Agaro -Nano Challa Cooperative - beautiful cup characteristics with white honey sweetness, mild fruit and floral notes, with ginger snap cookie in the finish. An extremely clean cup-profile, and lighter mouthfeel suits the slight effervescence. Good for espresso.
Kenya Kirinyaga Kamwangi AA -fruited and clean, with a nice pointed finish. Stone fruit and citrus juice flavors come through, with a refined cane-sugar sweetness. A nice bittering aspect comes through in the finish (like pulpy orange juice or peach skin) with an Earl Grey tea note.
Guatemala Antigua Buena Vista Farm - incredible balance between candy-like sweetness, and bittering cocoa tones. Notes of vanilla, praline, apple, and almond are propped up by structured malic acidity. Good for espresso.
August 19, 2015
Roasted on 8/18, this week's coffee is all bagged up and ready to ship. Here's four roasted coffees you shouldn't miss out on.
Nicaragua Acopio Suyatal - This is a great every day, "drinking" coffee that has balanced notes of cocoa, roasted nut and malt sugar. Roasted to Full City.
Colombia Inza De Cauca - has a wonderful combo of convincing fruit flavors and acidity, along with central characteristics of burned sugars and fine dark chocolate. Roasted to City+.
Sweet Maria's Espresso Monkey Blend - A very popular coffee that has flavors of chocolate, dark fruit, licorice, a full body and long aftertaste. Roasted to Full City.
Moka Kadir Espresso Blend - This is another coffee that sells out very fast and has flavors of dried apricot, plum, tobacco, layered chocolate and a dense, thick body. Roasted to Full City.
In case you are placing a larger order (with more than five items), the cart is behaving very badly and may even time out, deleting all the items in the cart. Smaller orders seem to be coming through fine in my tests. It is the number, not size, of items that seems to cause the glitch. The cart developers are aware of the problem and working on it.
One possible work-around would be to place two smaller orders, one with the shipping option you prefer selected and the other as if it was a "customer pick-up" order. Then send us a note to combine the orders. If you have any trouble , just email us at email@example.com and we will get back to you as soon as possible.
Thank you - Maria
August 14, 2015
We just added six great new coffees to the list including coffees from regions we haven't seen for a while like Nicaragua, Java and Mexico. Enjoy!

Welcome Flatrabbit! As a graphic designer too, I have no doubt your drawing and software skills will help you to achieve some epic maps
New kid here. I was just invited to play an RPG for the first time in twenty years. AD&D. Well, I'm a graphic/web designer and was asked to "draw" the map. I don't really half ass anything, so after hitting DeviantArt for inspiration, I was referred here. I'll start looking around. Any help would be appreciated. I'll be doing a combo of hand drawing and using a Cintiq 21UX with CS5.
Welcome Flatrabbit! As a graphic designer too, I have no doubt your drawing and software skills will help you to achieve some epic maps
I use to mix hand-drawn and photoshop. Best combo for me (you can check here, here and here what I'm doing with it ). I'd suggest you to start with a small and simple map with a few elements (coastlines, moutains, trees, river). Sketch it, then import in photoshop what you want to hand draw and then work on it in photoshop with textures/colors/brushes etc. Of course, a best way to achieve good maps is to look around to get inspired. Old maps are always treasures and of course you can also find here some masterful pieces...
I'm not particularily a map maker either (I do art and a little graphic design), though I like maps. And I have a Cintiq 21UX too, I love it.
If you are drawing small maps for the encounters, then doing the map based off the inch grid squares helps. I've gridded out cardstock and sketched out my preliminary maps and monster locations that way before.
For the larger map, I don't think the style of the map matters so much as that the geography fits with the general region you are roleplaying in. Depending on how large the campaign is or the needs of the group, you might want more than one map, or a map that serves a dual purpose. (Like geography + battle, or geography + treasure).
For example I once designed a campaign set on/around the Lake of Steam. Because there were a lot of forests, I got lazy and bought a forest pack so I could pull out new, random forest maps as needed. Then, I flipped over the cards and drew my encounter maps on the back for different places I needed elsewhere in various cities. My large map of the region was mostly focused on cutting out extraneous detail from the Forgotten Realms Atlas while highlighting points of interest.
Terrain that ties in with game play (tactically, magically, or otherwise) may be a factor. There was a map I saw recently at PAX, 13th Age, that took the concept of terrain affected over the passage of time, and by the very creatures in the world, to a level I hadn't seen before as well.
If you start with the simpler/functional elements first, then you can iterate the map into more elaborate designs as it comes together if you really want the wow factor
Hehe...don't you just love being "invited" for your skill sets?
BTW Welcome to the Guild, The Mappiest Place on the Web
If you are looking for brushes and other elements of mapping, you should look through our Mapping Elements forum near the bottom of our forum home page. Plenty of such stuff in there. If you are looking for guidance on how to go about mapping with PS, or in general, check out the Tutorials and WIP (Work In Progress) forums. It sometimes happens that people who are quite familiar with PS and Gimp, but not in a mapping way, just need a new way of looking at old tools to get into the swing of mapping great stuff and these two forums are great for that. Look at some of the Gimp tuts as well because most of the steps and techniques are translatable to PS.
Have fun and good mapping
Art Critic = Someone with the Eye of an Artist, Words of a Bard, and the Talent of a Rock.
Please take my critiques as someone who Wishes he had the Talent
Thanks Korash. I know what you mean. I sit n three non-profit boards that ended up saying, "Hey, you do web/design stuff, right?"
I've found those forums. I can't wait to really dig in. In fact I came into work today at 6am to clear my workload. Now... it's map time!
Welcome to the Guild Flatrabbit! Like Korash said, there's tons of aids to give you inspiration over in the tutorials section. Looking forward to seeing what you come up with.

Modeling Rigid Bodies
Application ID: 10566
In many structural dynamics applications, some components are stiff compared to the supporting structure. Such a stiff part will only contribute to the dynamic properties of the structure through its mass and moment of inertia. It is then possible to reduce the model size significantly by treating it as a rigid body. In this example the eigenfrequency of an assembly is computed where one of the parts can be considered as a rigid domain.

According to 23-year-old Hillary, beatings at the hands of her father, a Texas family law judge, were so frequent, that she sensed when the next one was coming.
The seven-year-old video has left viewers outraged. Dr. Drew spoke to Hillary on his HLN show Wednesday night, where she admitted that she thought the type of punishment she received was common.
"I've made it my goal to make sure many other people as possible know that [it's] not normal," she said.
Hillary said her mother was bearing even more emotional abuse than she was.
"All she really wanted to do was please my father because he was such a controlling man," she explained. "He was influencing her to discipline me how he saw fit. So I don't blame her at all because she just wanted to hit me once and get it over with so he would stop. Unfortunately, it didn't work; but she feels so bad. I completely forgive her."
Hillary also talked about why the videotaped beating happened in the first place.
"The reason that that scene happened in the room is because I was using an old file-sharing program to obtain media that I couldn't have purchased if I'd wanted to really," she said. "Since he didn't understand that, he was afraid I would be prosecuted and he would have a criminal for a daughter – he just couldn't have that reflecting onto him. So he went overboard."
Later, Dr. Drew asked Hillary if she thought her father still belongs on the bench.
"I honestly think he needs to take some time off," she said. "I don't want to wish anybody to lose their job …I used to not think so, but my mind is slowly changing."
Watch Dr. Drew weeknights at 9 p.m. ET on HLN and follow the show on Twitter @DrDrewHLN.

|Subdivision exemption request, fire truck assessed
|Written by Chris Lee
A subdivision exemption request from Phillips County Commissioners, discussion of putting a fire truck up for sale and a report from Northeast Colorado Association of Local Governments (NECALG) took up much of the Aug. 18 Holyoke City Council meeting.
Under new business, a subdivision exemption request from County Commissioners regarding the events center at the fairgrounds was a topic of discussion. Commissioner Jerry Beavers said issues concerning drainage runoff from the building and parking lot concerned members of CDOT.
Council member Orville Tonsing questioned easements from the county with water, sewer and electrical lines on the property. Council members and commissioners agreed easements would be a good idea. Council member Jerry Banaka suggested proceeding with the exemption request and dealing with easements as a separate matter.
Council members agreed to follow through with the easements on the property.
Fire truck sale discussion
Council members discussed selling the fire department's 1976 Ford with a 600 gallon tank on it. Both Supt. Mark Brown and Orville Tonsing said the truck doesn't get used a lot and has sat in the shed for about four years only being utilized a few times during that period.
Brown said an offer was made, but after speaking with members of the fire dept. feels the offer isn't good enough. A suggestion to advertise the truck on Craigslist was made. Brown said he will do some research to find out how much it is worth. Ray Bailey suggested advertising the truck may help also.
Larry Worth, Executive Director for NECALG, gave an update from their annual meeting and thanked the board for its continued support for County Express.
He also brought to the board's attention a couple of different projects. The first was the Phillips County Education Service. $8,670 was sent forward for that, and $21,000 was allocated for the community
gardens project through the CSU Extension Office. That money will fund community garden programs throughout eastern Colorado, Worth said.
Reports of city officials
Supt. Mark Brown mentioned a mobile substation unit will be brought in while the Holyoke substation is worked on. He guesses it will take place either the first of October or November. He also said Holyoke will see power outages during that time.
Crews have been installing underground lines at the new event center and concession stand at the fairgrounds.
The new city building is almost finished according to Brown. He said the steel work is done and the electric and plumbing will finish the project up.
Brown also mentioned plans to move forward with the pavement project at the airport are in motion. A new tie down area will be the beginning point. With the help of Armstrong Consultants Inc. and the Colorado Division of Aeronautics the project should begin sometime in 2010, Brown said.
Mayor David Nygaard thanked Barry Winckler and the crew of volunteers who helped repaint the skate park ramps. Council members also voiced their thanks.
Police Chief Phil Biersdorfer said he received a request from someone in town to park a semi trailer on the street in front of their home in order to load for the purpose of moving. Biersdorfer said the request involved the trailer being parked on the street up to a week.
Council members discussed the city ordinance concerning truck and trailer parking. Nygaard said he wasn't opposed to special permits while Winckler stressed the ordinance. Code Enforcement officer Dawn Worley said she was concerned with setting a precedent for future occasions. After much discussion, council members along with Biersdorfer and Worley agreed to allow the trailer to be parked on the street for short periods of time but needed to be moved in a timely fashion.
In other business Aug. 18, council members:
—renewed liquor license for First Dragon.
—approved travel request for Tillie Fisbeck and Kathy Olofson to attend Colorado Master Municipal Clerks Academy.
—allowed an exception on commercial rate for sewer system for Jack Kiernan.
—approved Dept. of Energy (WAPA) Service Agreement of Network Integration Transmission Service.

Top 5 by Adam Lipman
- next ›
- 358 of 735
- ‹ previous
Captivating Young Performer
Adam Lipman is a gifted musician who has been recording lo-fi tunes for the past 5 years. His 2009 album, From Your Mouth to God's Ear, is a lovely and captivating record that feels deeply personal and, at times, quite haunting. Lipman has been compared to artists like Bonnie 'Prince' Billy, The Mountain Goats, and Leonard Cohen, among others. Hard at work on a new recording, Lipman was kind enough to take some time to recommend 5 book and music pairs for your enjoyment.
Adam's Top 5
1. Nixonland: The Rise of a President and the Fracturing of America by Rick Perlstein - Paranoid by Black Sabbath.
The paranoia and political brilliance of Nixon are captured wonderfully in this biography of, not so much Nixon, as of the era in which he was at his most powerful and most paranoid. Black Sabbath's best and most commercially successful record is rife with delusions and paranoia, made vivid with the brilliance of Tony Iommi's furious and intensely melodic guitar.
2. Stayin' Alive: The 1970s and the Last Days of the Working Class by Jefferson Cowie - Mermaid Avenue. Vol. II by Billy Bragg and Wilco
When did Labor become a scapegoat for politicians and big business to blame economic woes on? And why is there now a war between the private sector and the public sector workers as to why there are no jobs or bad paying jobs? Has the public sector put too much emphasis on worker's benefits, or has the private sector taken too much out of the worker's pockets? Woody Guthrie's lyrics and the music of the collaborators Billy Bragg and Wilco give a fine interpretation of the strength and the reason behind the working man's need for labor support.
3. Tally's Corner: A Study of Negro Streetcorner Men by Elliott Liebow - Black Saint and the Sinner Lady by Charles Mingus
A magnificent study of African-American men's street corner lives and the struggle to live and work in the early 60's. Set in Washington D.C., it is an eye-opening encounter with the psychological hardships of being a black worker in America. Black Saint and the Sinner Lady is the genius of an aggrieved soul, struggling against the same winds as those men on Tally's corner.
4. Wilson by Daniel Clowes - The Stranger by Billy Joel
Wilson was once described by Dana Gould (ex-writer for The Simpsons) as a man too brilliant for his own good; a man smart enough to talk himself out of dealing with his own problems, until, at the end, he learns to shut up. Billy Joel's The Stranger is an amazing record, dealing with the vicissitudes and expectations of a life that keeps making strange turns in a world that is built to be unexpected. I can't but see Wilson in it, as well.
5. The Unsayable: The Hidden Language of Trauma by Annie G. Rogers - Berlin by Lou Reed
Both works are dark portrayals of youth disturbed by an overly aggressive and unhealthy adult world. Rogers's focus is on children and goes for a solution by way of Lacan-Freud. Reed's focus is on the woman/mother/wife and simply keeps the listener in the downward spiral.
Adam Lipman Fall Tour
Adam Lipman will be touring the West Coast this fall (dates listed below). Keep your ears and eyes peeled for a soon-to-be-announced San Francisco show. And, of course, check the catalog for Adam's new album, to be released next year.

Wimbledon, England (Sports Network) - Former champion Novak Djokovic and
last year's runner-up Andy Murray secured berths in the quarterfinals at
The world No. 1 Djokovic reached his fifth straight and sixth overall
Wimbledon quarterfinal by topping 13th-seeded resurgent German Tommy Haas 6-1,
6-4, 7-6 (7-4), while the second-seeded Murray landed in his sixth straight
Wimbledon quarter by handling 20th-seeded Russian veteran Mikhail Youzhny 6-4,
7-6 (7-5), 6-1 on the famed Centre Court.
Djokovic lost his serve for the first time of the fortnight when Haas turned
the trick en route to 4-2 lead in the second set, but the super Serb got the
break back to level the set at 4-all, and would hold on from there. Djokovic
held his serve for his first 48 service games of the 2013 tournament.
Haas broke Djokovic for a second time and then held for a 5-5 score in the
third set and eventually forced a tiebreak, but Djokovic jumped out to a 5-1
lead in the extra session and ultimately closed out his German counterpart on
a fourth match point, a forehand winner after 2 hours, 12 minutes of tennis.
Djokovic served for the match at 5-3 in the stanza, but blew a match
point in the ninth game.
The 35-year-old Haas had been 2-0 against Djokovic on grass, including a
quarterfinal victory at Wimbledon four years ago.
Djokovic is now 6-3 lifetime versus the one-time world No. 2 Haas after
smacking 13 aces and piling up six service breaks.
The six-time major champion Djokovic, who beat Murray in this year's
Australian Open final and lost to Murray in last year's U.S. Open title tilt,
captured his lone Wimbledon championship two years ago.
Djokovic will play in his 17th straight Grand Slam quarterfinal against former
Wimbledon runner-up Tomas Berdych on Wednesday.
Meanwhile, the capable Youzhny, who has reached at least the fourth round at
Wimbledon on eight occasions, had a 5-2 lead against Murray in the second set
on Monday, but he ultimately lost the stanza via tiebreak and then succumbed
to the Scot after that.
Murray lost to Roger Federer in last year's Wimbledon final and then beat
Federer in the Olympic gold-medal match a month later here on the hallowed
lawns at the All England Club.
The 26-year-old Murray will appear in his 10th straight Grand Slam
quarterfinal. He captured his first-ever major title by beating Djokovic in
last year's U.S. Open finale.
Murray is trying to give Britain its first male Wimbledon singles champion in
77 years.
His quarterfinal opponent on Wednesday will be Spanish veteran Fernando
Fourth-seeded French Open runner-up David Ferrer reached his second straight
Wimbledon quarterfinal by overcoming capable Croat Ivan Dodig 6-7 (3-7), 7-6
(8-6), 6-1, 6-1, the seventh-seeded 2010 Wimbledon runner-up Berdych topped
young Aussie Bernard Tomic 7-6 (7-4), 6-7 (5-7), 6-4, 6-4, and eighth-seeded
former U.S. Open champion Juan Martin del Potro doused 23rd-seeded Italian
Andreas Seppi 6-4, 7-6 (7-2), 6-3 to reach his first-ever Wimbledon quarter.
The gritty Spaniard Ferrer and formidable 6-foot-7 Argentine del Potro will
lock horns in a marquee quarterfinal on Wednesday.
A pair of Poles landed in the round of eight at Wimbledon for the first
time in history, as 24th-seeded Jerzy Janowicz outlasted veteran Austrian
left-hander Jurgen Melzer 3-6, 7-6 (7-1), 6-4, 4-6, 6-4 and Lukasz Kubot went
the distance to beat France's Adrian Mannarino 4-6, 6-3, 3-6, 6-3, 6-4. The 6-
foot-8 Janowicz and Kubot will meet on Wednesday, with the winner giving
Poland its' first-ever male Grand Slam semifinalist.
Also reaching his first-ever Wimbledon quarterfinal was the aforementioned
southpaw and former top-10 star Verdasco, who handled Frenchman Kenny De
Schepper 6-4, 6-4, 6-4 on "Manic Monday," when all of the remaining singles
players are on the schedule at the AEC.
For the second time in three days, there will be no men's singles action on
Tuesday. The middle Sunday marked the traditional day off at Wimbledon.

Lance Henriksen
Birth Name: Lance Henriksen
Born: 05/05/1940
Birth Place: New York City, New York, USA
Born: 05/05/1940
Birth Place: New York City, New York, USA
Born Lance James Henriksen on May 5, 1940, in New York City, he was the son of Margueritte, a waitress and aspiring model, and James Henriksen, a Norwegian merchant seaman and boxer who went by the apt and intimidating nickname of "Icewater." As a toddler, Henriksen was raised primarily by his single mother, after his parents divorced when he was just two years old.

Torrance's mission is further complicated when she learns that her predecessor stole cheer routines from the Clovers, who are more eager than ever to even the score. Torrance is further distracted when she finds herself falling for a most unlikely high schooler, as much an outsider as she is an insider.

Food & Film

I like to cook, eat, and watch movies. When I can find some intersection of these three pastimes, I am a happy man. Therefore, I really dig movies about chefs. Here are a few of my favorites.
Billed as the first "Noodle Western" when it was released in 1985, Tampopo is a Japanese comedy revolving around food and the art of eating. The main story involves two truck drivers who happen upon a roadside ramen shop run by a widow, and decide to help her save her failing business. As the three work together to create the perfect bowl of noodles, the film wanders off to show us a variety of oddball stories. A group of students learns the art of perfect noodle-eating (without slurping). A yakuza boss and his mistress explore erotic new uses of food, such as passing a raw egg yolk back and forth between their mouths while keeping it intact. In another scene, a shopkeeper is unable to catch an elderly woman who fondles his fruit, squeezing the best pieces before fleeing the store. This film is a strangely wonderful celebration of sustenance.
Hong Kong
Riffing on competitions like Iron Chef and more, God of Cookery takes the manic energy you may know from Hong Kong writer-director-actor Stephen Chow's Shaolin Soccer and Kung Fu Hustle, and applies it to the world of competitive cooking. After losing his high standing to a sneaky nemesis and having to move back up the culinary ladder from the level of a street food vendor, the protagonist throws his Shaolin cooking style at his opponent, resulting in action-packed, lip-smacking laughs.
New York City
Moving from comedy to documentary, I Like Killing Flies brings the camera into Kenny Shopsin's eponymous Greenwich Village restaurant, where he serves hundreds of dishes and maintains a very strict list of rules. No parties of five or more, every customer must eat, and if Kenny doesn't like you, he'll kick you out with a burst of profanity. Despite the seeming lack of hospitality, Shopsin's keeps a loyal and devoted following, mainly due to the no-nonsense atmosphere and the astounding variety of well-executed meals (Thai Cobb salad or macaroni & cheese pancakes, anyone?). The film details the workings of the jury-rigged kitchen, interviews the regulars, allows Kenny to share his pessimistic philosophy, and follows him as he loses the lease he has held for 30 years and must move to a new location. Even though this is a very amateur documentary, the subject more than makes up for it, showing us the integrity that a chef can have, even as he kicks out a family of five with a barrage of four-letter words.
Your Favorite Food Films?
This is just a list of some of my favorites, and I have left off discussion of other fantastic ones, such as Babette's Feast and Ratatouille. I'd love to hear about your favorite films about food, if you want to leave a comment here.

Eat Drink Man Woman
I've never heard of "The God of Cookery" or "I Like Killing Flies." Besides "Babette's Feast" and "Tampopo," though, my favorite food film is probably Ang Lee's "Eat Drink Man Woman."
The Big Night
The Big Night was a film off the top of my head that I really enjoyed, although I guess the focus is more on the restaurant. It's got a surprising number of big names: Stanley Tucci and Tony Shalhoub, of course, but Liev Schreiber, Isabella Rossellini, Minnie Driver, and even Marc Anthony.

Kory Keshemberg's 1971 Ford Maverick - Safety ValveWritten by on October 31, 2007 Contributors: Johnny Hunkins, Robert McGaffin Kory Keshemberg Is Livin' Large With His $15,000 Street/Strip Insinuator.
Sometime during their car days, everybody should own at least one Maverick. It is a study in simplicity. Its lines come together with a rare grace. In the 3,600- to 3,800-lb musclecar scheme, it weighs 800 to 1,000 lbs less, and is very tolerant of inexpensive, bolt-on mechanical systems originally designed for larger Ford products, Mustangs in particular. I know. I had a new Maverick back in the day. It made great hot rod material for someone inextricably bound to doing it on the cheap.
It was a 1970 model, Anti-Establish Mint green, born with a 200ci six and three-on-the-tree. I was the editor of Car Craft then, the perfect place to be if you wanted to build a hot car. And I did. A year after it was introduced, though, the Maverick Grabber came on line, packing a 302 V-8 and a snazzier silhouette, but you couldn't order it with a four-speed.
Down in the guts of the Petersen building, I was told, a similar displacement dyno motor that Crane Cams had developed with its cylinder heads and cam gear was sulking in a cobwebbed corner, and ready to be liberated. Because Ford was already building these V-8-powered sleepers, we ordered every part that the eight-cylinder cars used for the swap, making it a real factory bolt-in bomb. I backed it with a Super T10 four-speed and a 9-inch axle that flew straight out of somebody's Mustang late one Midnight Auto evening.
On the side of history, remember Dyno Don's 'Cammer-powered Maverick or Fast Eddie Schartman's similar ride? Wayne Gapp and a guy named Jack Roush plopped a fiendish small-block four-door (The Tijuana Taxi) in Pro Stock and slaughtered all comers with it. So why didn't people swarm the Maverick as if the trunk was stuffed with $100s, like they did with an early Camaro or a '57 Chevy? No cach. No hook. No cool.
Thirty-five years later, the Maverick continues to display the same comfortable aura, the same simple lines, and the same exciting (and easily attainable) power-to-weight ratio that make it perfect hot rodding and engine-swap material-if you can still find one that hasn't burned up with rust and returned to the earth. Kory Keshemberg, a 28-year-old son of Appleton, Wisconsin, found his prize on the back of a car hauler. A guy was bringing in stuff from the low-humidity backwaters of Arizona and New Mexico. Kory was happy to take the thing right off the truck. Why? Does he suffer some sort of youthful dementia? Well, yes he does. It's the ingrained urge to follow his own path, one that does not follow lemming-like in the tracks of the usual suspects.
"I picked the Maverick because everyone has a Mustang, and I wanted something different," he says. "Besides, when I saw this no-rust cherry, I knew I'd have it. That slow oxidation process claimed most of the ones up here a long time ago."
Whether the shapely Ford appealed to his sense of economy or his aversion to a Mustang of his own, Kory was ready (too kind a word, better make that driven) to pursue his skinflint notions. He is solely responsible for its content and all the work required for it to be a complete entity and one with Kory's signature. His considerable background includes 12 years of engine building and drag race savvy, he tells us, but the Maverick blew a back tire and sailed off the road, trashing a rocker and a quarter. Kory's body-working skills evolved on the spot.
"I didn't have any experience fixing metal work," he proudly admits. "But my friend, and mentor, Tom, an older guy, took the time to teach me how to do it the right way." Kory proved a fast learner. He took the shell to bare metal, fit it with some small sheetmetal bandages, and filled in the side marker light holes. Tom dared him to wave the paint gun too. In the end, Kory dressed his dream with an Omni basecoat/clearcoat, and sprayed on the elegant yet tastefully subdued silver metallic.
The pattern emerges unfailingly. Kory's hard-core. A steam-fitter by trade (Local 400), Kory's an enthusiast who likes to do things with his hands, do his own work. "It didn't just happen," he says. "I learned and re-learned as I went along. The bodywork alone took about a year to complete." Looks like that Old World work ethic can't hide from him. Living on a car budget is good for the soul, the bankroll, and for the incomparable psychic reward it affords.
"This car is a driver, not a trailer queen, and I race it often," Kory says. "The best part of the whole deal was being able to do it for cheap. I like working that way because it made me appreciate the important things in life, like my wife Jenny, and my two kids, Kara (10) and Paxton (4). It took a lot of patience to build the car, from me, and from my family. I give them special thanks, and I say the same to my friends Tom, Adam, and Dave."
Beyond squandering on the engine, basic cars usually get basic preparation in all other areas, so you have to choose carefully. You know you've got the right platform when the stock suspension proves very accommodating and very adaptable. Kory's aim included a few simple changes. He bolted on some '77 Granada spindles and the disc brakes that came with them. He didn't touch anything else up front. He slid the 9-inch on the Maverick's leaf Wsprings and set to stiffening up the unibody. Competition Engineering supplied the subframe connectors and Slide-A-Link traction bars. To temper the severity of the tire hit, Kory completed his combination with three-way adjustable CE shock absorbers and Hoosier DOT slicks.
But the fugitive from the '70s is also a street car, right down to its Maverick-emblazoned floor mats. No air, no tunes, but certainly warm air for his body and the inside of the windshield. Call the interior scheme Spartan Chic. Adam Stuyvenberg (also of Appleton) dressed up the place in slick black vinyl. Kory decorated his pad with crucial Auto Meter gauges and strapped a big fat tachometer (with shift light) right in front of his nose. In all, it's an open, roomy sanctum completely uncluttered by the spidery fingers of the usual rollcage stringers.
The 400 small-block he had been using grenaded, but a friend was parting out his modified Mustang II, so our hero gladly received that relatively overlooked C-motor and went to work on it. Cleveland? Windsor? It didn't matter one bit. To Kory, a motor's a motor, and this one was an inexpensive score at that. Kory relied on his engine experience when he put the Cleveland together. Automotive Specialties (Neenah, Wisconsin) machined the rotating parts according to his specification, and Kory got down to doing what he really likes. Was it a problem that the original crankshaft was cast rather than forged? No. Considering the engine's final destination, did it make sense to upgrade the pistons and connecting rods to forged material? Yes.
Though known for the inefficiency of its large-by-huge and also big-ass intake and exhaust ports, the C heads easily maintain enough velocity to put an effortless 348 hp to the Maverick's wheels. That's punk you say? With the Maverick at an even 3,000 lbs with him in it, that punk motor is good enough to peel off a best of 11.70 at 117 mph. Along with his presence in the NMCA Open Comp class, Kory descends on the World Ford Challenge, True Street confrontations at Wisconsin International Raceway, and bracket skirmishes at Norwalk, Indy, and Joliet.
Regardless, when the weather's right, the car comes out on a weekly basis. "I need to let off some steam," Kory says. That's a given and a mandate.

Lesser Kardashians Kylie and Kendall Jenner are on the cover of March's Teen Vogue, and they look…well, like two regular, non-model kids. They're cute enough, if you can get over your hatred of all things Kardashian long enough to view them, but for two young'uns trying to break into fashion, their poses are a bit lackluster, and their faces betray a clear lack of smizing. Someone get Tyra on the case!
Nevertheless, they sure are people. Here are the photos from the spread, plus some extremely interesting things I learned about them from the accompanying profile.

|City receives only one bid for airport apron expansion project
|Written by Chris Lee
Only one bid was received for the apron expansion project at Holyoke Municipal Airport, and it exceeded budgeted amounts, according to City Supt. Mark Brown.
Council members agreed at their Tuesday, July 20 meeting to decline the bid and move forward with negotiations or put the project out for another bid.
Capital Improvement Project (CIP) money has to be used or else the city will lose it, according to Brown. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is willing to write a grant for the project or something else the city decides to do in order to keep the CIP money. The city then will have three years to do a project.
Council members voted to allow Mayor David Nygaard to sign and accept the grant when presented with it to ensure the CIP funds would be kept.
2009 audit reviewed
Scott Szabo of Lauer, Szabo and Associates, PC from Sterling presented council members with the 2009 audit. He noted the audit went very well and was appreciative of Kathy Olofson, Tillie Fisbeck and Connie Holtzman for their help.
Szabo said all the funds are in good shape and he didn't have any concerns.
Council members also approved a resolution at their Tuesday meeting in which the city of Holyoke supports the application for a mini-grant from the state board of the Great Outdoors Colorado trust fund. The grant will help fund the bleacher replacement project at the ball park.
Reports of city officials
City Supt. Brown reported two power outages and a water main issue. He also said seal coat will begin early August.
A representative from CDOT (Colorado Department of Transportation) was scheduled to meet with Brown about the maintenance contract for the highways that run through Holyoke.
Police Chief Phil Biersdorfer reported Holyoke P.D. had a relatively quiet couple of weeks. He did say there has been a recurring problem with loud music and speeding in a specific area in town that they have been keeping an eye on.
Another incident HPD encountered was criminal tampering. Someone took vehicle window chalk and wrote on vehicles at the school, Sheriff's station and a harvest crew's combines parked near the fairgrounds. Biersdorfer said there was no permanent damage done.
Other business
In other business July 20, council members:
—held a 45-minute executive session for a conference with the city attorney for the purpose of receiving legal advice on specific legal questions.
—accepted the 2009 audit report.
—approved a resolution for appointments to serve on Nebraska Municipal Power Pool and Municipal Energy Agency of Nebraska.

Carload and intermodal volumes begin year on a decline, reports AAR
January 11, 2013 - LM Editorial
Railroad volumes began the year on a decline, according to data released by the Association of American Railroads (AAR) this week.
For the week ending January 5, carload volume—at 241,682—was down 12.1 percent annually. It was behind the week ending December 29 at 211,921 and the week ending December 22 at 290,223.
Eastern carload volumes were down 12.3 percent annually, and out west carloads were down 12 percent.
Intermodal volumes—at 178,317 trailers and containers—were down 8 percent compared to the same period and were ahead of the week ending December 29 at 155,800 and behind the week ending December 22 at 240,119.
AAR officials said that weekly traffic volume for the week ending January 5 "was likely impacted by the New Year's holiday, which fell on a Monday and Tuesday in 2013, as opposed to Saturday and Sunday in 2012.
Of the 20 commodity groups tracked by the AAR, 4 were up annually. Petroleum products were up 53.6 percent, and lumber and wood products were up 6 percent.
Iron, steel and scrap loadings were down 29.3 percent, and motor vehicles and equipment were down 20.6 percent. Coal was down 19.2 percent.
Estimated ton-miles for the week ending January 5 were down 11.1 percent at 28.1.
As previously reported, in 2012, United States railroad and intermodal volumes were mixed when the final count for the year was tallied up by the AAR.
2012 carload volume at 14,682,219 was down 3.1 percent compared to 2011's 15,155,992 and was down less than 1 percent compared to 2010's 14,820,128. Intermodal volume at 12,267,336 trailers and containers was up 3.2 percent compared to 2011's 11,892,431 and was up 8 percent compared to 2010's 11,283,151.
The AAR said that since 1988 the only year that total U.S. rail carloads were lower than 2012 was 2009, which hit roughly 13.8 million and was impacted by the effects of the recession.
2012 intermodal volume represents the second highest on record, according to the AAR, with volume down just 0.1 percent—or 14,885 containers and trailers—from 2006's record high.
"2012 was not a great year for railroads in that they make money on the bulk commodities that were down, but it was not a terrible year either as they produced solid annual gains," said Tony Hatch, principal of ABH Consulting. "There was nothing the railroads could have done to change those numbers at all."
Hatch added that putting the 2012 numbers aside assessing areas where the railroads can assimilate traffic and share and where their services can pay off shows they did a very good job overall in 2012.

The Governments of the United States and Norway today held the third bilateral Global Issues Dialogue (GID), a forum through which the United States and Norway coordinate and expand cooperation on issues of mutual interest in the promotion of human rights, civilian security, and democracy. This year's GID focused on efforts concerning vulnerable populations; cooperation through UN mechanisms; and women, peace, and security. Under Secretary of State for Civilian Security, Democracy, and Human Rights Maria Otero and Norway's State Secretary Gry Larsen led the Dialogue meetings on June 21 in Washington, D.C.
Norway and the United States are committed to enabling countries around the world to build more democratic, secure, stable, and just societies. Today, we held discussions in pursuit of this goal and achieved advancements through the coordination of our efforts. We discussed the implementation of our National Action Plans on Women, Peace, and Security, including best practices to advance the role of women throughout the world. We shared information on efforts in support of UN peacekeeping missions and committed to working together to train third-country police peacekeepers in order to combat sexual and gender based violence (SGBV) and other conflict-area related abuse.
We discussed the work of the 20th session of the UN's Human Rights Council, as well as priorities for the autumn sessions of the HRC and UN General Assembly 3rd Committee. We exchanged information on our governments' efforts to protect lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) individuals. In doing so, we committed to deepening coordination of assistance to LGBT organizations and individuals. In this vein, the U.S. Government welcomed the announcement by the Government of Norway that it will provide financial support to the Secretary's Global Equality Fund, which aims to support the work of civil society organizations working on LGBT issues around the world. We renewed our mutual dedication to promoting the rights of workers and decent work around the world while discussing collaboration on the Just Jobs Network.
We reaffirmed our commitment to preventing mass atrocities and genocide, and discussed the U.S. Government's Atrocities Prevention Board, a new mechanisms for the U.S. Government to identify and address atrocity threats. Similarly, we discussed the mission and objectives of the Department of State's new Bureau of Conflict and Stabilization Operations, as well as Norwegian mechanisms to address crisis, conflict, and instability.
The Dialogue concluded with a discussion of recent ongoing challenges faced by its vulnerable populations and the efforts by our governments regarding political developments in Burma.
