1964 Chevrolet Chevelle 300 - Post WarWritten by on April 1, 2012 Contributors: Robert McGaffin Jim Gollwitzer's budget '64 Chevelle 300 drops bombs on the trailer queens
Jim Gollwitzer wasn't even a gleam in his father's eye when his '64 Chevelle was born in the heat of the Cold War era. Young Jim didn't know it when he was just a wee lad but he was destined for a lifelong enlistment in the army of Chevelle fans. He got his draft papers the day his dad came home with a brand-new '72 Chevelle. By his 14th birthday he was regularly wrenching on the Chevy, and by 16 he proclaimed the car as his own. He hasn't stopped fighting to keep alive the old promise of a chicken in every pot and a Chevelle in every driveway.
Twenty-five years later, Jim's battled through the restoration of a whopping 40 Chevelles, keeping five for his personal collection. (PHR managed to catch his '72 in mid-bodywork for the cover of the Aug. '09 Readers' Projects issue.) Naturally the first one was near and dear to his heart, and he's kept rubbing on it for the last 25 years. Most recently, this clean '64 300 Deluxe former-fairgrounds-bruiser-turned-bracket-racer entered his life and he donned his fatigues to strategize a victory plan.
Like all good plans, there had to be some assumptions made. "A couple years ago, I didn't have a first-generation, '64-65 body style, and with the economy the way it was, I knew that there were some deals out there if you were at the right time and the right place." Jim put the word on the street that he was looking for a '64 and hoped his spies would turn something up. One of his feelers landed on a guy in the construction industry who was feeling the impending pinch of the economy and knew he had to develop some cash in a hurry before the buyers dried up. After meeting with the seller, Jim says he practically talked the price down himself and Jim took it home for a paltry $7,900. He couldn't believe his luck. Little did he know the low price was but a small victory in the battle to turn the car into a dream piece.
The 300 is one of the lesser known A-body variants sold as a basic bottom-of-the-line model. GM developed the A-body as a midsized car to compete with the likes of Ford Fairlanes and Dodge Darts. While the Fords and Dodges were suffering from an identity crisis by resizing larger cars from the early '60s, the Chevelle was born from a clean slate and was blessed with a clean body. Pentastar and Blue Oval offerings in '64 retained some of the cluttered body lines of the Eisenhower years and the General knew that if they wanted a head start on the free-thinking market of the mid '60s, they would have to walk away from the designs of the previous decade and start anew. Chevelles were the result of this new plan.
Offered in a number of option plans, the basic breakdown showed the car available as a base model 300 sedan (post), Malibu sport coupe (hardtop), Malibu convertible models, and the upscale Malibu SS version. El Caminos were also an integral part of the family line and developed their own fan base. The all-new A-body was an immediate smash hit as sales for the first year skyrocketed to over 370,000. Couple that with sales of the Buick Skylark, Pontiac Tempest (and GTO), Olds F85 (and Cutlass), and the success of the A-body family from GM was pure dominance.
As Jim dragged the two-door home and began a more thorough inspection, he hoped the seller was better in construction than in car building. The newbie appeared to make all the mistakes a 16-year-old would make. "It had so many accessories from the electric fuel pump and the fan and all that, that it overloaded the ignition circuit. The guy who I got it from really didn't know what he was doing so you had to literally start the car by crossing a screwdriver on the starter terminal." Coupled with a tank of bad gas, it wasn't exactly the best runner when Jim bought the project. By the next afternoon though, he had replaced the burnt-out ignition switch, swapped out the bad gas and faulty transbrake switch, and threw in some new spark bolts, and it was on the road again.
Jim isn't one of those guys who sits around on his thumbs all weekend, so by week two, he had put all of the accessories on relays as they should be and properly reconnected the factory wiring harness. Unfortunately the car drove with all the sportiness and reliability of a WWI tank. It was time to drop this thing to DEFCON 1 and work on the engine.
A small-block with old-school ported fuelie heads had all the right internals but it just wouldn't get out of its own way. The Weiand 177 huffer was doing its job, but it was never designed to run with a stock vacuum secondary carb. A call to the Carb Shop supplied Jim with one of their Stage 4 840-cfm blower carbs. The Holley double-pumper released the power within but that came with the side effect of generating more heat than being on the wrong side of a napalm barbecue. Being a wheeler-dealer, Jim traded the old Convo-Pros that came on the car for a new aluminum radiator, slapped on an electric water pump, and while scrounging the local Volvo dealership's dumpster, he came up with an incredible power electric fan from an '05 Volvo S80. The engine was now hot and cool at the same time.
Mechanically sound, he felt it was the perfect time to test the mettle of the car, mano a mano, at the dragstrip. He borrowed a set of slicks, adjusted the tire pressure, ran through his burnout procedure, and with the two-step now fully functional, ripped off a killer 11.70 at 114 mph! He felt the tide of the war turning in his favor. Now it was time to move onto the more aesthetic side of the build.
As Jim progressed in his budget build, he took his skills toward dressing up the engine compartment. He found it was tough finding someone who could do a decent job of cleaning up and restoring (or resto-modding) an engine bay for a reasonable price, so he took to doing it as a side job. "It's a neat little niche that, so far, I haven't found anybody who just does engine compartments," he says. "It gives me a little competitive edge, and I'm sure somebody will copy me but that's OK." He gave his engine bay what he calls his "driver" package with cleaned up but functional details.
As one of the least common styles, the 300 has become a rarity but one with a definite fan base. One might think that just due to the fact that it is a '64 Chevelle, parts would be a cinch to pick up. Not so much. There were only a quarter as many 300s made as other models, and they have small unique traits such as distinctive badging, taillights, headlight bezels, door trim, and enough subtle interior differences to make restoration a real pain. Jim's '64 interior was in decent enough shape that on the surface he could skate by. It did look a bit like something out of an '80s ZZ Top video with tweed seats, and a third-eye brake light, so he scrounged up a pair of tan leather seats, once again from his vast network, and gave it a mild freshening up.
Jim stood back and looked at his project, but realized it still had a bit of the Reagan/Gorbachev pre-Soviet self-destruction film left on it. "I had gotten most of that fixed and swept most of it off the car, but it still had the typical two-tone stripe going down the top of the fender into the quarter-panel. It was a silver and gray stripe. As a quick attempt, I had some House of Kolor Chameleon paint. I picked that up and used that as a base and resprayed it with chameleon. So then I took it to a car show and Johnny Hunkins walked up and says, 'If you just got rid of this violation I'd put it in the magazine.' So two weeks later I sent him a picture of the car without the stripe." For a grand total of less than $13K, Jim fought the good fight and the rest, as they say, is history.
The battles were long and hard. Jim fought for his postwar Post with all the vigor of a Seabee on D-day. In the end, victory was his and the only scars that remain as proof of the skirmishes are a pair of smoking black lines on the long, cold tarmac.
He hasn't stopped fighting to keep alive the old promise of a chicken in every pot and a Chevelle in every driveway.

The Pro Street stance really makes the car look right. He traded out the old Convo Pros and bolted on a set of Billet Specialties Race Lites to complete the car's transformation to the modern era. The only downside with the mean look is that it takes over an hour to remove the wheels. It involves a series of events like removing the driveshaft, rear shocks, and dropping the rear end down almost 2 feet. So, yeah, he doesn't throw on a set of slicks every weekend.Say "Why-And." The baby blower takes center stage in the Chevelle's engine bay. Jim spent many hours cleaning up and detailing the engine bay and by using a number of different roughness Scotch-Brite pads he gave the aluminum components a soft, satin look. This is what he calls his "driver" look, which is fairly simple. He says he does prefer doing more of the heavily modded engine compartments to really show off his skills.

The Magic of Dave Fridmann
- next ›
- 439 of 735
- ‹ previous
Dave Fridmann seems like a rather unassuming, mild mannered guy. I don't know much about him as a person, but a Google image search for his name reveals, what appears to be, a dude with an "unassuming, mild mannered guy" haircut. I don't mean that in an offensive way. He just seems like a normal guy.
Much More Than Normal
He's much more than normal though. He has magical ears. Not magical in the sense that he can hear through walls without the aide of a drinking glass, but magical in the sense that he really knows how to mix rock records. He's produced for a long list of groups, including MGMT, The Flaming Lips, and more recently Tame Impala.
The Drums, It's the Drums!
The thing that really stands out about his production is how he records and mixes drums. The drums are always so punchy, blown out, and sound just right. The first time I really made note of him as a producer was on the Flaming Lips Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots album. I had only previously known of the Flaming Lips as the band with that "Jelly" song and hadn't really paid much attention, but this album blew me away.
Check out "Fight Test" and "Are You a Hypnotist" to see what I'm talking about.
The Flaming Lips – "Fight Test"
The Flaming Lips – "Are You a Hypnotist"
Catchy Pop and More Drums!
The first time I heard MGMT I was kind of distracted by the visuals in the video for "Time To Pretend." They kind of seemed like some dorky hipsters and that tainted my impression of them. A few months went by and I heard that song again, without the video, and I thought it was awesome. It was so catchy and the production was great.
I did a little research on the album and, guess what, it was produced by Dave Fridmann! That explains why everything sounds so good and the drums are so punchy. Check out "Time To Pretend" and "Kids." Although the album does not live up to the pure catchy goodness of these two songs, it's actually a really solid album.
MGMT – "Time To Pretend"
MGMT- "Kids"
One Man Band
The most recent Dave Fridmann production that caught my ear is Tame Impala's Innerspeaker. Tame Impala is a group from Australia, but this album was almost entirely played and recorded by frontman Kevin Parker. In the tradition of Stevie Wonder and Michael Jackson (who recorded songs where they played every single instrument), Parker played and recorded almost everything on this album.
I'm not sure how much of an influence Fridmann played in the final sound of the album, but this record sounds great. It's kind of got a Beatles-esque psych-pop feeling in parts.
Check out "It Is Not Meant To Be" and "Lucidity."

I have a problem regarding new Zimbra 6.0.7 64 bit installation on SLES 11 SP1 64 bit. The installation process went smooth and everything works without problem. The problem hit me after rebooting the system. Zimbra won't start automatically on boot. Manually start after boot system make Zimbra running OK.
Look a bit closer, it seems that Zimbra trying to start before it's dependent services, e.g : network services, so Zimbra failed to bind to it's IP because network service has not been successfully executed.
On old thread regarding installation on openSUSE, I found some solution by remove the Zimbra services :
and then edit the /etc/init.d/zimbra, add the following code on top of file (after it's comment) :Code:chkconfig --del zimbra
and then activating the services :Code:### BEGIN INIT INFO # Provides: zimbra # Required-Start: $network $syslog # Required-Stop: # Default-Start: 3 5 # Default-Stop: 0 1 2 6 # Description: Zimbra mail service ### END INIT INFO
But the problem still exist. The same problem didn't hit me on SLES 11 (without SP) with Zimbra 6.X.X.Code:chkconfig --add zimbra ; chkconfig zimbra on
Any help greatly appreciated.

Results tagged ' Guy Hansen '
Uniform Numbers: 55
Kansas City's Opening Day starter, Gil Meche, wears number 55. Who else has worn the double nickel? Let's take a look…
This number wasn't issued for the first 20 seasons of Royals baseball…in the last 20 seasons, eight KC pitchers have suited up in 55. Kevin Appier was the first to don the number in 1989. The ace right hander kept the number through the 1995 season. Appier switched to 17 for the '96 season. Bullpen coach Guy Hansen, who signed Appier in 1987, took the number 55 for the 1996 season.
Appier donned 17 until he was traded to Oakland in 1999. He took back number 55 upon rejoining the Royals in 2003. In the interim, Allen McDill, Tim Byrdak, Mac Suzuki, Tony Cogan, and Nate Field wore 55.
After Appier's second stint in KC, 55 stayed on the shelf until 2006, when righty Joe Nelson claimed the number.
Meche signed with the Royals in December, 2006, and the number has been his ever since.

Former Farmington baseball star faces adversity again
As before, during his cancer fight, Jayson Whitehouse, 26, of Alton, N.H., has the support of family, friends and those he's inspired, according to former Coach Dave P. Hoyt.
Whitehouse sustained life-threatening injuries after his Honda crossed the center line along Route 7 and struck an oncoming SUV, driven by Courtney Lacadie, 38, of Dixmont, around 11 a.m.
Members of the Penobscot County Sheriff's Office could not be reached for comment about the status of the investigation into the accident Wednesday.
Both Whitehouse, who was airlifted from the scene, and Lacadie, who suffered serious injuries, were taken to Eastern Maine Medical Center. He remains in critical condition; she was released from the facility, according to hospital spokeswoman.
Whitehouse's wife, Sayre, and their sons, Colby and Trey, have been visiting him as much as possible while keeping their network of friends updated.
Hoyt said Whitehouse, who's undergone five surgeries since the accident, has already started to slowly recover - a process which could take up to three years.
"Every day is a little progress," Hoyt said, adding Whitehouse is in tough shape, but is responsive.
Hoyt, who serves as director of staff and player development at USA Training Centers/USA Mavericks in Newington N.H., fondly remembers coaching Whitehouse when they both were in Rochester, N.H. and when he stopped by to practice a few years later.
Hoyt said Whitehouse had tremendous skill as a player, as a fellow teammate and as a coach in a league of 13-year-olds.
"The younger players gravitate to him," Hoyt said, adding Whitehouse brought energy and experience to the field.
Whitehouse was a three-time all-state selection who led Farmington (N.H.) High School to three baseball titles in three years while scoring 1,575 points on the basketball court with the Tigers. After graduating in 2004, Whitehouse hit .364 while playing in South Carolina with Spartanburg Methodist College.
"It was no surprise to me that the Dodgers took a chance with him as an outfielder," Hoyt said, adding Whitehouse was drafted as left fielder in the 23rd round while playing for the Quarry Dogs, a regional collegiate league.
Soon afterward, Hoyt said Whitehouse went to the doctor after experiencing head pain, which he thought was a result of bumping it. But the pain was from several tumors in his eyes, chest and arm.
In June 2005, he was diagnosed with Burkitt's Lymphoma - a rare form of non-Hodgkins cancer - but after undergoing chemotherapy, Whitehouse was cancer-free by October of that year.
"Jayson's touched a lot of folks," Hoyt said, adding perfect strangers were as supportive as people who knew him or watched him play. While Whitehouse never got to take the field with the Dodgers, Hoyt expected him to do well in the big leagues. He added the same drive will help him once again in his long recovery following the accident.

Glad you weren't offended by that anecdote, Arcain! Just seemed relevant to the discussion. I completely understand how hard the transitions are when it comes to feeding (and sleeping too!) but try not to stress too much. I took it pretty slow with solids. At 10 months, I would guess that DD was only getting solids twice a day and rarely getting snacks, but she was off of bottles before 14 months, so it'll work itself out!
I can't quite remember what the spacing was like when we were trying to increase solids... I think up until almost a year we still gave her bottles first and then solids soon after. They did kind of alternate, but were close together.
Poppy - The bottle pressure is like everything else - you can't win no matter what you do! I started phasing (sp?) out about one bottle per week right before DD turned one, so that she was completely on sippies w/milk before 14 months... And of course MIL said she was still a baby and should be getting bottles.

May 25, 2016
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) -- Florida State has landed one of the nation's top cornerbacks with Tennessee high school star Jalen Ramsey signing to play for the Seminoles.
Ramsey, who played at Brentwood Academy just south of Nashville, signed his letter of intent Wednesday. Ramsey, who was ranked as high as the 10th best player nationally by one recruiting service, had verbally committed to USC last summer.
The Seminoles also landed linebacker Matthew Thomas from Booker T. Washington High School in Miami. The 6-3, 205-pound Thomas was regarded among the nation's top 15 prospects and ranked by some as the top linebacker in this year's class of high school players.
But Thomas' high school teammate, offensive tackle Denver Kirkland, chose Arkansas over the Seminoles.

1969 Ford Mustang - AnvilWritten by on May 4, 2011 Contributors: Wes Allison Built by Pure Vision, this Radical Mustang for Anvil Auto is a Bad, Bad Man.
"Easy, Easy, EASY!"
Those are the words that escaped Steve Strope's mouth as he rode shotgun in the Anvil Mustang, watching through the windshield as it spun and looked to be headed toward the dirt and its certain peril.
The location was the road course at Streets of Willow in Rosamond, California, the car was the very trick (and expensive) '69 Mustang that Strope, of Pure Vision, had just finished for Matt Lazich of Anvil Auto, and the occasion was a low-key Hotchkis Performance open track day. Fresh out of the Grand National Roadster Show only a few days before, Strope was understandably nervous to put this car on a road course or anywhere else it could possibly be in harm's way. But that's what we required of the car in order to be featured in HOT ROD, and ever the slut for ink, Strope realized he had to do it.
I spent a few laps behind the wheel of the car, but it was Aaron Ogawa from Hotchkis that got it turned around exiting a corner. He was less afraid to spin it than we were, partly because he's Strope's brother-in-law. The spin was not the fault of the chassis, but rather the enormous torque from the 520ci Boss 429-based Godzilla under the hood and Aaron's aggressive right foot on the corner exit. It was totally understandable, and since the car didn't get a scratch or make it to the dirt, quite fun to watch.
The car began its life as a promotional tool for Anvil Auto, which makes a bunch of carbon fiber parts for muscle cars and aims its marketing directly at the Pro Touring crowd. So, it was obviously going to have a lot of carbon body and trim parts on it, but when the build was all done the car became so much more than just a rolling business card. It was the snowball story that happens with nearly every project car. In many cases, that translates into a car that either doesn't get finished, or ends up an amalgamation of poorly mixed ideas and execution. In this case, the end result is a car that looks one thousand percent bitchin' from every angle and works to the potential of its equipment.
The body mods are numerous but very subtle, and you either have to be a rabid early Mustang aficionado or park a stock version right next to this car to see most of them. The grille uses OE pieces but is modified to put the inner lights of the original quad headlights behind it, and the rear quarters are widened an inch and a half. These are among many other small changes throughout.
As the project progressed, Matt decided he wanted to chase the Goodguys Street Machine of the Year award, and that requires a car to not only be pretty, but also fast on an autocross. That prompted a very trick front and rear suspension using pushrod-activated coilovers (less unsprung weight and they look neato), and a bunch of power. JME Enterprises and Maier Racing took care of the former and Jon Kaase handled the latter. Kaase's contribution was one of his Boss Nine reproductions for Ford Shotguns. With 805 hp and an excessive amount of rubber on the road, this car should run with the best of them. Matt hopes it runs away from the best of them.
It's also a testament to the project that it is painted white, yet stands out as something special—even among a crowd as jaded as that walking the miles of aisles at the SEMA Show. There, it nabbed Ford's 2010 SEMA Best of Show, Outstanding Achievement In Design award, as well as a Mother's Shine award, then went to the Grand National Roadster Show in Pomona, California and came away with the Best Engineered Pro Touring tall trophy.
We think it's the best car Pure Vision has built—by a lot. And the shop has built some really nice stuff, much of which you've seen in HOT ROD. Now let's see how it does in the Street Machine of the Year fight.
Driving Impressions
I'll admit to treating this car kindly since it was so fresh it had never been driven more than around the block, and Strope was in the starter's stand with a deer rifle to end me if I hurt his baby. Regardless, I made about five laps of the technical Streets of Willow road-race course and pushed it hard enough to see how everything works without putting it in the dirt.
The power is not as brutal as you'd expect—especially down low—but once the Boss 9 hits 5 grand, the movie changes. It annihilates the tires as if it had a turbo that just spooled up. You want to make sure the car's pointed straight when you do that, or the driver turns into Ken Block in a hurry.
Once over the power high, you notice the insane amount of grip. Between the ridiculously wide tires and the trick suspension, you can tell that with a little dialing this dude will be nasty fast. It's too much car to be limited to Goodguys autocrosses—it needs a road course, and more of Willow Springs' big track than the Streets course we ran it on.
Areas that still need work are the brakes, which were basically non-functional, the result of a wrong master cylinder. Strope knew the problem and told us about it before we went out. Also, the rear springs have a rate of 280 in/lb, but need to be about 30 percent softer.
Everything else worked seamlessly. The Flaming River electric power steering was perfect, and the only audible creaks or groans came from the interior-mounted rear coilovers. The smell of the red leather was reminiscent of my Little League baseball glove. And oh, the sound. I dare any car guy not smile at the noise of the Kaase motor through those SpinTech mufflers. You just can't help it.
I've driven several of Strope's cars. One was rather annoying and the others were nice drivers, but the Anvil Mustang is in a whole 'nother league. Steve and Pete (Harksell), you've outdone yourselves with this one.

Project cars never happen on time. Case in point: the car was painted (2010 Range Rover Alaska White) before the entire carbon fiber front-end pieces showed up. Here they are being fitted to set gaps, then they were painted, buffed, and installed as Pure Vision was firing the motor and getting ready to load the car onto the truck to the SEMA show. It was last minute, naturally, but it made it to Vegas.To make room for the massive rubber, the rear quarters were bowed out 11⁄2 inches at the wheel openings, retaining the stock width at the doors and rear quarter extensions.The black toggle turns on the electrical system and the red toggle starts the car. There is no ignition key.The factory quarter scoop has a solid "screen," but Pure Vision made it functional and connected a brake cooling hose that goes through the floor to a rearend-mounted bracket to deliver cooling air to the rear rotors.Jon Kaase poops more power every morning than most guys can make and was called on to build an all-aluminum, 520ci motor with his new Boss 429-style heads. It makes 805 hp and features an Aviaid dry sump, Electromotive EFI, Jones Racing Products cog pulleys, custom headers with SpinTech 3-inch stainless mufflers, and a Griffin radiator. Behind it is a Tremec TKO 5-speed with a Kevlar clutch and a Quick Time billet bellhousing.The Maier Racing rear coilovers are situated thusly. You can hear them working when you're driving the car, and we have really neat video footage of that on the HOTROD.com video feature on this car. The Shelby rear seat delete panel was modified to fit between the widened rear wheelwells and covered in gorgeous red leather.Those are massive 345/30ZR19 Michelin Pilot Sport II tires on 19x12 wheels (275/35-18s on the front), but you don't notice how big they are until you look from directly behind. The wheels are one-offs from Evod Industries made to resemble late '60s Gurney Eagle Indy Car wheels. They are sweet!As with all of Pure Vision's cars, Eric Thorsen did the upholstery. It retains a stock flavor but with race-inspired purpose—fitting, since owner Matt Lazich is aiming at the Goodguys Street Machine of the Year award. Shannon Hudson at Redline Gauge Works did the gauges. The door opening mechanisms are from a midyear Corvette, the hanging pedals from Wilwood with Pure Vision–crafted pads sit next to a matching dead pedal, and the shifter arm was made from a leftover steering column shaft. The Sparco wheel is mounted to a quick-disconnect, and the belts are from Crow.

Rediscover the world around you.
Behind every place and object, there is a rich layer of stories and information to be discovered. Normally, you have to hunt for this information yourself if you want to explore further whatever interests you.
Poken believes that collecting what you value in the real world should be as easy as it is online. That's why we created the pokenTAG, an unique device that enables you to collect digital information offline with a simple touch.
How it works.
A pokenTAG is an electronic sticker that can store digital documents and multimedia files. It enables you to get more details about places and things, at the time your interest sparks. All you need is a Poken device, such as a pokenSPARK and a pokenPULSE, or the Poken App installed on your NFC-enabled smartphone. To collect information, you simply touch the pokenTAG with your phone or your Poken device. That's it.
After you created your account at the pokenHUB, the website that aggregates everything you pokened, you can start exploring all the files you collected.
pokenTAG can transform anything around you into a rich source of information and it is starting a green revolution at corporate events by eliminating paper waste.
Where to find pokenTAGS.
- Events: Events organizers are substituting leaflets for pokenTAGS. This way, there are providing the participants with richer content material that they can collect with their Pokens and, at the same time, avoiding the excessive waste of paper that normally happens in events.
- Shops: You may find a pokenTAG at your local coffee shop. By pokening it, you may accumulate points on their loyalty program, that can be later exchanged for products. Or you may poken a product at the shop to get more information about it.
- Posters: You may come across smart posters with a pokenTAG promoting the concert of your favorite singer. If you poken it, you may get all the details about the event, exclusive videos promoting the tour and even a discount to purchase your ticket.
A green revolution for events.
pokenTAG is transforming everything around you into rich sources of information and it is starting a green revolution at corporate events by eliminating paper waste.

"Here's a typical response to a question about the SEALs from a senior defence official in a Pentagon briefing on Monday:
QUESTION: Can I ask you, can you confirm that it was a (Navy) SEAL team? And was this a specially designated team that had been practising or reviewing intelligence for a while and they were the unit of choice?
SENIOR DEFENCE OFFICIAL: Not going to comment on units or numbers.
But here's what the legendarily verbose and loose-lipped Vice President Joe Biden said at a dinner at Washington's Ritz Carlton Hotel last night to mark the 50th anniversary of the Atlantic Council:
Let me briefly acknowledge tonight's distinguished honorees. Admiral James Stavridis is a, is the real deal. He can tell you more about and understands the incredible, the phenomenal, the just almost unbelievable capacity of his Navy SEALs and what they did last Sunday.

" . . . .It is believed that many of these men were the ones that brought Osama Bin Laden to justice. This is a double tragedy. First, the loss of any American fighting personnel is tragic. Second, SEAL Team Six is the best of the best! Replacing them is difficult at best and probably impossible.
The Taliban has taken credit for this kill. I suspect that they were tracking SEAL Team Six ever since the OBL event. How did the Taliban know who did the OBL job[?] Vice President Biden told the press[!]
He blabbed [about] a top secret op in the open to the press to look good! This moron is a danger to the security of America not to mention the lives of American fighting personnel."

The commercial shows former Sec. of Defense Robert Gates saying: "We all agreed that we would not release any operational details from the effort to take out bin Laden, [but] that all feel apart the next day."
The commercial then shows VP Joe Biden standing behind a podium, speaking on May 3, talking about "the Navy SEALS" and "what they did last Sunday." After the Obama administration released exactly what they pledged they wouldn't, Vaughn contacted his mother and asked her to scrub any references to him or SEAL Team Six from her social media. He told her there was a mark on his life and that there could be one on his parents' lives as well.
The camera focuses on Aaron Vaughn's mother and father, sitting with photos of their son and the flag that draped his casket in background. Vaughn's mother speaks: "How dare they? They put a target on my son's back. And... a little over ninety days later, my son was dead.&quo

I hate to burst any of your dreams about a war zone, but in every war there are also murders, rapes and tortured people that have done nothing but be in the area at the time..Nam just brought it into the nations homes from the TV set that didn't happen in previous wars..My Father, a highly decorated Vet from WWII never spoke much about being in the war. Not until lately.Being in his 80s he knows not much longer to be here. When going into a combat zone you just kill anything that moves, unless they are one of your buddies...Nam was an unjust un needed war that lined the pockets of the same companies that the Iraq war did..

" Insurgents shot down a U.S. military helicopter during fighting in eastern Afghanistan, killing 30 Americans, most of them belonging to the same elite unit as the Navy SEALs who killed former Al Qaeda leader Usama bin Laden, U.S. officials said Saturday. It was the deadliest single loss for American forces in the decade-old war against the Taliban."
Many in the military believe this was retaliation hit for the bin Laden raid. Dumba&& Obama and Joe Biden were so quick to run to the microphone and take credit for THEMSELVES while naming Seal Team 6 by NAME, it exposed them to much more RISK than necessary.

Kyle was always recognized at events but would deflect attention to other veterans, quickly introducing and praising those around him.
"That camaraderie is usually missed once the veteran gets out of the military," said Cox, himself a former Marine sniper. "The authentic relationships that you develop in the military, especially overseas and in combat are some of the most meaningful, authentic relationships that one can have, and it's missed. And so we tried to create a means through this group of veterans that can gather and talk about things that they're dealing with."
"He (Kyle) didn't have any fear at all as far as working with an extreme case," Cox said. "Just like in combat he would take it on head on and do whatever he could to give these guys assistance. There was no fear in helping anyone that may have an extreme case. He was willing to help anyone in need."
Kyle died doing what he loved, helping other vets work through and deal with their PTSD

The company's new Americas division will be headed up by Stephan Carter, Hudson's North America head. Leading the new Asia Pacific region will be Mark Steyn, Hudson's Australia/New Zealand regional leader. The European division will be overseen by Mike Game, Hudson's former Asia head.
"This new operational structure and leadership alignment will facilitate the successful execution of our global strategy," said chairman and CEO Manuel Marquez.

Zales' previous positions included time at firms such as Time Warner, Disney and Spencer Stuart. At Hudson, he will oversee the Hudson's marketing and information technology functions worldwide.

Enchanted (2007)
Enchanted Synopsis
A classic Disney animated fairy tale meets with the modern, live-action romantic comedy in Walt Disney Pictures ENCHANTED. Featuring an all-star cast, the film follows the beautiful princess Giselle (AMY ADAMS) as she is banished by an evil queen (SUSAN SARANDON) from her magical, musical animated land and finds herself in the gritty reality of the streets of modern-day Manhattan. Shocked by this strange new environment that doesn't operate on a "happily ever after" basis, Giselle is now adrift in a chaotic world badly in need of enchantment. But when Giselle begins to fall in love with a charmingly flawed divorce lawyer (PATRICK DEMPSEY) who has come to her aid -- even though she is already promised to a perfect fairy tale prince (JAMES MARSDEN) back home, she has to wonder: can a storybook view of romance survive in the real world?
Enchanted looks a little something like Cool World meets Aquamarine, and the plot synopsis sounds like it ought to be the sort of movie thatll throw good film lovers into convulsions. Except the trailers really work and the cast is simply fantastic. Amy Adams stars as the fish-out-of-water princess, and shes every bit as lovable in the trailers as she is in just about everything shes done so far. James Marsden her male cartoon counterpart, Susan Sarandon is in the mix as a wicked Queen, and Patrick Dempsey is in the film as, well, a guy who seems a lot like every character Patrick Dempsey plays. At least we know hell be good about it.
Im hoping for a film thats a total throwback to those fun, silly, family 80s movies that have sort of become a vanishing breed in modern times. If it is, get ready to bundle up the kids and buy $50 worth of tickets on November 21st.

Menifee Citizens Group Formed to Protest 'Lack of Action'
A school bus and other vehicles try to travel safely across a flooded stretch of Holland Road on Tu...
|A school bus and other vehicles try to travel safely across a flooded stretch of Holland Road on Tuesday.
John F. Smith, who withdrew from the race for Menifee mayor prior to the election, is coordinating the formation of Menifee Citizens for Honest Government, which he says has about 100 members so far. In a press release sent to Menifee 24/7, Smith claims that city officials continue to ignore and lie to residents about promised improvements within the city.
The primary focus of the group at this time is the condition of a stretch of Holland Road west of Murrieta Road. A 1,200-foot, hilly and narrow stretch of dirt road has for years been considered a safety hazard and has become a hot topic since the opening of Herk Bouris Elementary School last August.
Such was the case on Tuesday, as cars and buses slowly maneuvered around potholes and through bodies of muddy water close to a foot deep. As a reporter took photos and watched the flow of traffic Tuesday afternoon when school let out, several impatient drivers created an even more unsafe situation by speeding around the slower vehicles.
Smith, who lives in the neighborhood and has a daughter attending Herk Bouris, is frustrated that the city's promise to pave that stretch of road has not been carried out. Nearly three months ago, the city announced in a news release that it had solved a complex legal issue concerning private portions of the road and would work with Lake Elsinore officials and developer Pardee Homes to get the road paved.
"Pardee Homes has the equipment staged right there," Smith said. "They told us the paving was slated for mid-November. We keep getting excuses."
Smith said that during a recent rainstorm, his wife's vehicle stalled in the flooded low point of the dirt road. In trying to maneuver out of the hazard, she blew a tire. Smith had to have the car towed out.
Rob Johnson, interim city manager, said the plan to work in conjunction with Lake Elsinore to get the road paved remains a priority. The work has been delayed, he said, because of changes of city staff members in both cities and recent rainstorms.
"A week and a half ago, we bladed the road in preparation for making the improvements," Johnson said, referring to a process of smoothing out the potholes. "Then it started pouring. We may have to put down some gravel to fill in the holes until we can get the weather we need to do the paving."
According to Smith, all this should've been done long ago, before the rains came.
"I'm just grateful nobody has been killed there lately, but it's bound to happen," he said. "I campaigned for changes, but even this new council is blowing smoke. We're fed up."
Citizens of Menifee, this is a call to action!
The safety of our children has been compromised for far too long, as a result of the City's failure to act on the severe hazardous conditions on Holland Road that we have had to endure for years. This chronic failure is a blatant disregard for the safety of our citizens. Our elected officials collectively and individually swore an Oath To Protect And Serve All the Citizens Of Menifee but continue to fall short on this obligation.
We have been told for over four years that Holland Road would be paved. Given interim date after date and yet, we still have no paved road. Many of us received notices in June 2012 that our child would have to attend Herk Bouris Elementary in Lake Elsinore. As we know, Holland Road is the most efficient route to access Herk Bouris and Lake Elsinore and it is not realistic to take Newport Road through Canyon Lake in order to arrive at Herk Bouris.
We began to inundate the City and school district regarding our concerns traveling this dangerous road. We were granted a public forum in order to address our grievances and were assured Holland Road would be paved prior to school opening. This too has proven to be a blatant lie.
During the 2012 Mayoral race, candidates stated this was a serious safety issue and approval to pave Holland Road had been reached and was slated for mid November. Once again, another deceitful lie by desperate, unethical politicians willing to compromise integrity in order to manipulate your vote!
Holland Road has claimed lives in the past. How many more must die before this city will act? Ask yourself:
Do you value the lives of your children?
Have you sustained damages to your vehicle over the past four years?
Are you tired of being lied to by city officials?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, We, The Menifee Citizens For Honest
Government, urge you to contact John F Smith at firstname.lastname@example.com or 951-609-5841.

Sukkot, Succot or Sukkos (Hebrew: סוכות or סֻכּוֹת sukkōt or sukkos, Feast of Booths, Feast of Tabernacles) is a biblical Jewish holiday celebrated on the 15th day of the month of Tishrei (varies from late September to late October). It is one of the three biblically mandated festivals Shalosh regalim on which Hebrews were commanded to make a pilgrimage to the Temple in Jerusalem. It follows the solemn holiday of Yom Kippur, or the Day of Atonement.
The holiday lasts seven days (eight in the diaspora). The first day (and second in the diaspora) is a sabbath-like yom tov (holiday) when work is forbidden, followed by the intermediate Chol Hamoed and Shemini Atzeret. The Hebrew word sukkōt is the plural of sukkah, "booth or tabernacle", which is a walled structure covered with schach (plant material such as leafy tree overgrowth or palm leaves).
The sukkah is intended as a reminiscence of the type of fragile dwellings in which the Israelites dwelt during their 40 years of travel in the desert after the Exodus from slavery in Egypt. Throughout the holiday, meals are eaten inside the sukkah and some people sleep there as well. On each day of the holiday, members of the household recite a blessing over the lulav (closed frond of the date palm tree, bound with boughs and branches of the willow and myrtle trees) and etrog (yellow citron) (Four species)

Part One
Spending a week in Colombia, my first time in the beautiful country, was truly a whirlwind with multiple purposes. I skirted the countryside, starting in the town of Gigante in the department of Huila, then passing through Guadalupe, Pitalito, La Plata, and ending in Tambo and Timbio, both in the department of Cauca.
The first goal was to deliver results from the survey on microlots that 122 producers in three states participated in during January and February of 2013. Not only were results delivered, but together we dug deeper to uncover greater meaning in some of the results and continue adjusting research questions as well as the greater research purpose. All told I was able to speak with 101 of the 122 participants in a series of 5 meetings in 5 separate towns. As Nelson Ramirez, Virmax's Director of technical training who accompanied me the first three days, said, "This is a marathon!" The majority of the survey respondents are not ones from whom Counter Culture purchases coffee. However, seeing the overlap in their responses to the survey will only aid us in understanding our supply chain in addition to the overarching situation facing high quality producers in Colombia.
Part two contains reflections that bring together analysis on this segment of the research. Some of their reactions were more surpising than others. Perhaps most surprising to me was their enthusiasm that they would indeed love to participate in a similar study in the future – they are honored that someone down the supply chain values their day-to-day experience enough to ask detailed questions. In addition, I loved hearing what else they thought would be important to study pertaining to the cultivation of specialty coffee. I am sitting on a ton of information – if anyone is looking for a research project, holler!
The second goal was to spend time with our old friends at Organica, purveyors of La Golondrina coffee. This group is one that has truly ridden the waves of hard times, under the strong leadership of Nelson Melo, and continues to prove themselves as fighters and committed to specialty coffee. Not only did I share the survey results with them but we shared meals, sat in on a board of director's meeting, and, of course, visited producer's on their farms.
Lastly, Nelson Melo has been building a relationship with a nearby cooperative over the last three years. He was eager to have Counter Culture make the acquaintance of Federación Campesina de Cauca.
The trip was incredibly full in more ways than one and I am excited to share some of that with you here.
Part Two
What follows are some of the overarching themes uncovered by the five meetings held in Gigante, Guadalupe, Pitalito, La Plata, and Tambo.
Over the course of these meetings I delivered results from the survey on microlots that 122 producers participated in during January and February of 2013. Not only were results delivered, but together we dug deeper to uncover greater meaning in some of the results and to continue adjusting research questions – as well as the greater research purpose. All told, I was able to speak with 101 of the 122 participants.
After sharing the research, each group responded to the following questions:
- Why did producers invest such a large amount of their premium money into fertilizer?
- Why did producers choose to renovate with variety Colombia more frequently than other varieties?
- How are producers overcoming current challenges in producing specialty coffee?
- What are they doing on their farms for this harvest that are practices they think will lead to higher quality?
- How was the process of being interviewed? And of receiving the results of the study in this way?
- If you could study anything else in regard to the production of specialty coffee, what would you want to study?
I hope you'll enjoy some of their answers as much as I did.
Thanks for the photos, courtesy of Alejandro Cadena and Nelson Ramirez.

President Barack Obama has canceled scheduled Wednesday appearances in Cincinnati and Akron to coordinate recovery efforts in the wake of super storm Sandy, the White House announced Tuesday.
Obama was scheduled to highlight his second-term agenda from economic growth and the middle class, according to a news release. The release promised a "concrete and specific plan for the next four years." Both Obama and his Republican rival Mitt Romney have been vague on details of exactly what they would do if elected next Tuesday.
Vice President Joe Biden had also canceled Tuesday appearances in Wooster and Gambier, Ohio, "due to local preparations and response efforts" for the storm.
Meanwhile Romney campaigned Tuesday morning near Dayton, where his campaign collected supplies and donation to be sent to storm-affected areas of New Jersey.
A performance audit for the Cincinnati Service Department
could save the city $3.7 million. The audit claims $2 million could be
saved every year if the city privately contracted solid waste collection
and street sweeping. An additional $1.7 million could be saved if the
city reduced overtime, sick leave and staffing levels. Along with other recommended savings measures, the changes could
amount to 7.9 percent of Cincinnati's budget.
Trayvon Martin's parents will be visiting Cincinnati today to take part in the national conference hosted by the Children's Defense Fund. The conference will target violence and race-related issues.
Procter & Gamble and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency have teamed up to improve environmental sustainability at manufacturing facilities and supply chains.
The worst U.S. drought in half a century is putting pressure on oil and gas companies to recycle and conserve water used for fracking. Fracking uses millions of gallons of water to free oil and gas from underground rock formations.
Gay marriage has generated $259 million in economic activity in New York City.
The Congressional Budget Office said repealing Obamacare would increase the deficit by $109 billion.
Voters sometimes punish politicians for bad weather.
Some scientists are saying the plot of The Amazing Spider-Man might not be too far off from reality.
Since it's an election year, it must be about time for pandering by lawmakers seeking to keep their offices. Cue U.S. Rep. Steve Chabot (R-Westwood), who is proposing a bill in response to fears about an influx of publicly subsidized housing for the poor into suburban areas. Chabot wants to impose time limits and work requirements on most people who get Section 8 federal housing vouchers. If approved, the bill would impose a five-year time limit on Section 8 recipients and require those 18 and older to work for at least 20 hours each week. Even if the measure passes the House, it's unlikely to pass the Senate and be signed by President Obama, leaving us to wonder what Chabot's true motive is. Any guesses?
Believe it or not, Cincinnati is Ohio's wealthiest city, sort of, according to a Business Courier study of U.S. Census data. A total of 3.7 percent of households in the Cincinnati-Middletown metropolitan area have income of $200,000 or more. The No. 2 metro area in the state was Columbus, with 3.63 percent of its households earning that much. Of course, the rankings involve entire regions, not just the city itself, and Greater Cincinnati includes such affluent enclaves like Indian Hill, Mason and West Chester Township. (Suck on it, Bexley.)
Crews from Duke Energy are investigating what caused an explosion and fire under a downtown street on Tuesday. The blast happened under the intersection of Fourth and Main streets at about 9 a.m., and both streets were blocked for much of the day. No one was injured in the mishap.
Brad Wenstrup, a podiatrist from Columbia Tusculum who scored an upset victory Tuesday in the GOP primary against U.S. Rep. Jean Schmidt (R-Miami Township), is crediting grassroots organization for his unlikely win. Wenstrup and his surrogates actively campaigned in all corners of the sprawling 2nd Congressional District, which was recently redrawn through redistricting. Although Wenstrup portrayed himself as a moderate when he sought his first political office, in the Cincinnati's mayor race in 2009, his latest campaign positioned him as a darling of the Tea Party movement.
The American Red Cross has established a hotline for Clermont County residents to call if they have an immediate need for housing as a result of last Friday's tornadoes and severe thunderstorms. The number is 513-579-3024.
Despite rumors to the contrary, U.S. Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-Cleveland) said he won't move to Washington state to run for one of the three open congressional seats there. The longtime progressive congressman lost in Tuesday's Democratic primary against U.S. Rep. Marcy Kaptur. The two lawmakers recently were redistricted into the same area. Kucinich told reporters Wednesday he will stay on and represent his Cleveland district through the end of his term in January 2013. He would have to resign his current seat if he were to move to Washington state to establish residency for a campaign there.
In news elsewhere, U.S. intelligence officials are monitoring the transfer of millions of dollars to foreign accounts by wealthy Syrians who have ties to President Bashar al-Assad. The officials are trying to determine whether the transfers mean Assad's regime is weakening or if the elites are merely hedging their bets. Assad is under increasing international pressure due to his violent crackdown on anti-government protestors during the past year.
Meanwhile, a Syrian deputy oil minister says he is resigning to join the revolt against the government. Abdo Hussameddin, 58, announced his defection in a video posted on YouTube.
The Obama administration is being criticized for how it treats whistleblowers who reveal instances of misconduct in the public and private sectors. In recent years, the White House has set a record by accusing six government employees, who allegedly leaked classified information to reporters, of violating the Espionage Act, a law dating to 1917. Also, it is alleged to have ignored workers who have risked their careers to expose wrongdoing in the corporate and financial arena, even though there are laws available to protect them.
The House is expected to vote today on a jobs bill that would mark rare agreement between the Obama administration and House Republicans, CNN reports. The proposal is comprised of six measures aimed at removing barriers to small business investment.

I've used this one for many years. I use wood stick matches in a silver box which I give the spectator to choose from. Works nice & easy.

About 15 minutes to kick off. Let's go Clones and let's send Bevo to the feed lot were he belongs.
Go State!
Does the rain help or hurt us? I think it helps them... they have been passing too much lately and I think this weather keeps them on the ground more which could be bad for us.
Now that MBB is back, do we still have to pretend that WBB matters?
Bass is still hurt? Scales is starting.
Passing: 124/273, 1560 yds, 8 TDs
Rushing: 441 yds, 3 TDs
Receiving: 98 Rec, 1106 yds, 3 TDs
Blythe w/the nice block? When did he start doing that?
And a great catch! Way to go "blue collar" Blythe!
www.widerightnattylite.com/ - All the news on the team that gives you fits
Well, we got at least one first down. Crap! Bad punt.
yeah, great field position for texas.
that was quick
Any free radio feeds?
Wow, I'm slow. I thought them taking the names off the back of the jerseys was only temporary.

Free radio? I don't know, but check the cyclone radio network on cyclones.com. One of those stations should have it online.
Nice catch by Houston Jones. Interesting to see him playing more this game.
Whoa! Loses his helmet and makes the catch for a first down! Flagrant facemask too! Hopefully the refs will give us a makeup call later in the game
Great catch by Blythe but if Meyer keeps getting hit like this we might have to see Bates/Arnaud...
Throwing into triple coverage? Dangerous move Meyer. Lucky flag for Pass Interference. I think that may have been for the missed face mask earlier.
Here we go again shooting ourselves in the foot with a penalty in the red zone
At least we're running the ball well. Scales isn't getting popped for losses, always picking up a few yards.

Wisconsin DUI or DWI
Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs or driving while intoxicated (also known as DUI or DWI) is a crime in every state, including Wisconsin. It is an even more serious offense if you were in an accident in which someone was injured or killed, or if you are a repeat offender. A Wisconsin DUI/DWI lawyer can explain your legal options.
As soon as possible after you've been charged with a Wisconsin DUI/DWI, you'll want to hire a Wisconsin DUI/DWI attorney. Finding a Wisconsin criminal defense attorney experienced in this area of legal representation is imperative. Your attorney will advise you on all the factors involved in mounting a drunk-driving defense, informing you of all your available alternatives. Your lawyer will also thoroughly investigate your case to uncover any evidence that would support your innocence and build the best case possible to help you avoid conviction.

Interesting idea. Here are some things to consider:
1) You may want to have the gods keep the seas there. If they can hold the planet together, this should be a trivial task . Otherwise, you get into some Dark Sun-like environmental issues. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, but make sure it's what you want before you go there.
2) You may want to look at Spelljammer, the old 2nd Edition AD&D setting. This world seems right up its alley.
3) If you're going to have continuing impacts, then it's really implausible that you'd have a civilization. This may be another job for the gods .

Once upon a time, my little 10 GB drive in my webserver failed and of course I had no backup, teaching me to immediately set up an automatic backup job afterwards.
Anyhow, this drive refused to start and as a last-ditch effort I put it in a plastic bag and put it in the freezer overnight, since I had heard somewhere that it might work and I really didn't have any other options.
The next day I take it out, immediately plug it in outside the case and lo and behold, the drive works long enough for me to copy my data off it.
Have you ever had a similar experience with this method?
