1932 Ford Highboy Five-Window - One of OneWritten by Brian Brennan on January 1, 2010 Contributors: Randy Lorentzen George Poteet's '32 Ford Highboy Five-Window Is The Real Deal
The term "hot rod" has been used for decades to describe a car that epitomizes individual performance. Whether it be acceleration, braking, or handling, it's all part of one hot rodder's dream. The ultimate hot rod blends aspects of performance and good looks to create one of one.
Performance and aesthetics are indeed a rare combination but when it happens you know it. Think back to the saying, "I can't explain it but I will know it when I see it." Such is the case with the '32 Ford highboy five-window belonging to George Poteet of Collierville, Tennessee.
No doubt the highboy has the looks of a hot rod and all that remains would be for each of us to take a hot lap to fully appreciate its performance. (Well, that isn't going to happen. However, for those who made it to the Grand National Roadster Show or the Detroit Autorama in early 2009 you had the opportunity to get an up-close look.) But we are getting ahead of ourselves. Oftentimes, "too many builders can spoil the hot rod." Not so in this case.
At one time or another each of us has managed to get out of step with our project. George was no different, his five-window was originally sent to Moal Coachbuilder's in Oakland, California, for the chassis and grille and then onto Dave Lane of FastLane Rod Shop in Donohue, Iowa. Dave was already underway with another of George's projects; the '32 Ford sedan delivery that graced the cover of the subscriber issue of Rod & Custom back in July 2008. Trying to keep with a timeline, the car was delivered to Rad Rides by Troy (Troy Trepanier) of Manteno, Illinois, where his staff produced the top chop and filled the roof. But then it was back to Moal to finish the project, which included more bodywork, paint, upholstery, and the all-important assembly.
Some of the extensive bodywork included raised wheelwells, a large supply of aluminum used in the making of the decklid, rolled pans, frame covers, and the hood. A stainless steel piano hinge was used in the Moal crafted hood, accented by the one-off aluminum grille with a steel insert. Other subtle yet uniquely crafted Moal components include nerf bars, door handles, and mirrors. The bright finish was applied by Sherm's Custom Plating while Ricks Glass supplied, what else, the glass! The sheetmetal received liberal amounts of PPG British Racing Green paint applied by Al Aguayo and Mike Faccini from Moal. Forward lighting comes from OTB Gear in the vintage-style 682-J ("J" meant no parking light) Guide (or BLC) early headlights in the paintable case with chromed trim ring. The popular '37 Ford taillights are held in position with a nifty surround utilizing eight polished Allen button-head bolts. (Look closely and you will note that the nerf bars feature the same style of surround.
All good hot rods need a motor with a little 'tude to get them down the road. Keeping with the Ford-in-a-Ford theme, George opted for a Ford Racing Performance 351-inch, 415-plus horsepower V-8 with plenty of custom appointments. Readily visible is the Price Motorsport Engineering (Hope, Indiana) intake topped with a pair of Holley 1848 four-barrel carbs dressed with fabricated air cleaners from the Moal workbench, all resting between a pair of Blue Thunder valve covers. Other performance parts include an MSD ignition, Taylor wires, Powermaster alternator, Moal custom headers (2 1/2-inch exhaust pipe running under the chassis), and Turbo Tone mufflers. Shifting this power to the rearend is a Tremec TKO 500 box with a Centerforce clutch, Moal custom-made shifter, and a driveshaft from Drive Line Service.
We mentioned the rearend, what would you expect in a Ford? Yep, a Ford 9-inch with 3.89 gears, Trac-Lok diff, and Strange S/S axles fill up the housing. Holding everything in position are a Moal-fabricated four-link and Panhard bar, Schroder Racing torsion bar with Moal arms, Strange adjustable shocks with Moal shaft covers, Wilwood Dynalite calipers and 12-inch rotors.
The Moal Roadchamp suspension in front is based on a drilled and chromed I-beam axle with Schroeder torsion bars, Magnum (early Ford style) spindles, more Wilwood Dynalite calipers, and 12-inch rotors, again Strange-adjustable and Moal-covered shocks, plus a Moal center guide Panhard bar. Other Moal frontend appointments include hairpins, batwings, and torsion arms. Finishing out the brake system is a Moal master cylinder, pedal assembly, and bias bar (brake proportioning).
All of this suspension needs a true hot rod steering to keep pace. How about a Tommy Lee-built 12:1 power steering box operated through an ididit steering column twisted via a Moal custom wheel? We would be remiss if we didn't mention that the Moal Roadchamp chassis is configured as a tube space frame fabricated from 4130 chromoly with 1 5/8-inch main tubes supporting a 110-inch wheelbase. Holding the Roadchamp up are Blondel wheels, 15s in front and 16s in back wrapped with BFGoodrich Radial T/A rubber measuring 155/80R15 and 245/75R16.
For all the "eye candy," what may be the single most attention-grabbing feature of the Deuce is the interior. It has a distinctive feel, something you may have seen in a military aircraft. The headliner, overhead console, and the Moal Bomber gauges by Classic Instruments go a long way toward supporting this feel. Did we mention the aircraft seatbelts? Tom Sewell of Cambria, California, stitched the green leather and custom gray carpeting over the Moal-designed seat and custom panels. Dynamat is used for insulation while Vintage Air supplies plenty of cool (or warm) air. The overhead Moal fabbed console houses a Moal mirror, ignition, and fuel toggle switches, start button, a complement of A/C switches and four Moal Bomber gauges (oil, temp, fuel, volts). A Moal modified '32 dash is retained and encompasses a pair of Moal Bomber gauges (200-mph speedo and 10,000-rpm tach) by Classic Instruments.
Oftentimes the most exciting aspects of a hot rod can't be seen. It's true that while a hot rod looks great once painted and upholstered often the real "beauty and craftsmanship" lies beneath the smooth paint, bright chrome, and all those well-placed stitches. Please visit www.streetrodderweb.com and view numerous construction photos that will give you an even greater appreciation for all the talent that went into constructing this Deuce coupe. It's worth starting up the ol' computer to enjoy the making of this one-of-a-kind hot rod.

These three sound-alike grapes are capable of making wines that range from soft and so fruity they are almost sweet, to wines so big and tannic they should not be approached by the faint of heart. One made famous in the Rhone region of France and by California's Rhone Rangers, the other perhaps a native son of California. One so popular that everybody wants to call their Syrah a Shiraz, and one almost an unknown.
Syrah (seer•rah) is a dark-skinned grape grown throughout the world that is capable of producing powerful red wines. Syrah is relatively new to California, but is becoming more and more popular both as a varietal and as a blending variety. It is best known in France, especially in the northern Rhone, for such wines as Hermitage, Cornas and Côte-Rôtie. Syrah is also found in the southern Rhone, in famous blends such Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Gigondas and Côtes du Rhône.
Cellar NotesI personally like both Syrah and Petite Sirah. They both are capable of producing very interesting wines, with good structure, mouthfeel and fruit. And while both contain copious amounts of tannin, it's not the same experience as with a young Cabernet Sauvignon. In fact, I've characterized the Petite Sirah below as soft. Keep in mind however that softness is relative.
A note about vintage – If you are unable to locate a vintage shown in Cellar Notes, with some significant exceptions, you may find the next vintage year very similar. Modern viticulture and production methods have reduced, although not eliminated, dramatic year-to-year variation.

Unfortunately there are a great number of myths about wine, many which have achieved near fact status, simply because of how often they are repeated. These persistent misconceptions create frustration and confusion for wine drinkers, novice and enthusiast alike. So let's delve into the murky world of wine fact verses wine fiction.
Sulfites are bad for you. Sulfites are a natural preservative that occur naturally on grapes and therefore in wine. A small percentage of people are allergic to Sulfites and have an asthma-like reaction to them. Contrary to what we tell ourselves after over indulging, Sulfites are not known to cause headaches.
Cellar NotesHere are a couple of blended reds that are very nice. The Nine Points Meritage is soft enough for even a white-wine drinker to love. And that's no myth.

Suspect in robbery attempts turns himself in at OPD
Published: Wednesday, July 3, 2013 at 12:11 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, July 3, 2013 at 12:11 p.m.
Police say a man who said other people told him to rob two businesses this week turned himself in at the Ocala Police Department on Wednesday, saying he was tired of living in his car and that he battles substance abuse and mental health issues.
Nicholas Alexander Cowart, 33, who said he is homeless, was charged with two counts of robbery by police and sheriff's deputies, according to police. He was taken to the Marion County Jail, where his bond for the charges was set at $20,000.
Shortly after 2 a.m. Monday, a man told a clerk at the Kangaroo store at 5160 S. Pine Ave. that he had been carjacked and two gunmen in his car would kill him if he did not rob the store. The cashier gave the man $55, and he got into a Chrysler sedan and drove away. The cashier said she didn't see anyone else in the front seat and could not tell if anyone was in the back because of the tinted windows, according to Sheriff's Office reports.
On Tuesday, an employee at Steak 'n Shake at 3800 SW College Road told an OPD officer that a man approached the register at 12:59 a.m. and asked for a manager, then said there was someone in his car and two people at his home who had told him to rob the place. The man gave the manager a similar story and was told that workers were calling police. He left empty-handed and drove away in a sedan.
Descriptions of the man from each location bore striking similarities. On Wednesday, police released images of the man, taken from surveillance video at Steak 'n Shake.
Ocala Police Department Detective Mike Hilton had been working the case with a detective from the Marion County Sheriff's Office Tactical Investigations Unit. Hilton got a call Wednesday that Cowart was en route to the police department.
Cowart arrived around 10 a.m. and was interviewed by the two detectives. He told them he was the one who entered the eatery and asked for cash. He first said there were people forcing him to rob the business, then said he had been alone and was trying to get money for a hotel room because he was tired of sleeping in his car, according to reports.
Cowart had on clothing similar to the clothes seen in surveillance images.
Officials said Coward was remorseful and told them he knew what he did was wrong. He said he has been battling substance abuse issues as well as mental illness and needs help getting his life together, the reports note.
Coward does not have any record of a criminal nature in this area.

One particular issue seems to have captured people's attention more than any other, the Personhood Initiative, the constitutional amendment to say that life, and human rights, begin at fertilization.
Elections officials say this issue, more than any other, brought bigger crowds to the polls Tuesday.
Voters in Lauderdale County appeared to be fired up about it.
Most voters I talked to said they were voting against the measure, saying it is too broad and that there are situations, such as rape, where they feel abortion might be necessary.
I did manage to track down one voter who was in favor of the amendment.
"Because I believe in life," said Jay Terry. "And the minute it's conceived, I believe it is a life. And that's why I voted for it."
"The reason that I am (against it) is that we have doctors in our family. That I think we're taking the decision out of the healthcare providers hands' by doing it," said Mary Weems. "I think there are cases of rape where it is necessary. So my decision is not to vote for it."
"I certainly hope it fails," said Charles Ray. "And I think it will."
Other initiatives on the ballot would, if passed, require voters to show a photo ID at the polls prior to voting and limit the use of the eminent domain process.

You can start speculating - New LX850 Announced

Posted 10 January 2013 - 11:07 AM
Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.
Posted 10 January 2013 - 12:47 PM
I'm surprised this wasn't done for the LX80 first, that to me was much more of a launch disaster. The LX800's original issues didn't appear to be caused by a failure of the core product, rather more of the add on capabilities (although the raw PE numbers did seem a bit high for this class of mount). So I thought they would upgrade the autoguide/auto align hardware and software and carry on since the core product appeared sound.
Posted 10 January 2013 - 02:14 PM
What does that mean for all of the customers who (for about 6 months now) have been waiting for a "fixed" 800? Are they going to be replaced with a "new" 850?
How long before the LX80 becomes the LX85? And what happens to those unfortunate owners?
What about the long delayed LX600? Is that now going to be a 650?
And why the odd way of announcing this? There is little to no news about this a Meade.com? The next 10-Q form is due in the next couple of days... Interesting timing.
Posted 10 January 2013 - 02:24 PM
Well, it looks like some more info has been posted:

The move to sell OTAs again probably reflects a need to raise cash as the buyers aren't there for the new mounts once the back orders are filled.
I find it interesting that Meade claims the advanced user products are more profitable than the department store stuff due to the high return rate.

I feel sorry for Meade, I really wanted them to succeed. My brother is still using the LX200 8" I gave him in 2009, bought back when the LX200 first came out so its very old and not a single problem ever. Why can't they build them like that now?
Posted 11 January 2013 - 05:25 PM
"Existing backorders will be converted to the new items." So, yes, whoever preordered (and paid, of course) for the LX800 should be getting LX850. This cannot be read differently - or they should fire their lawyers.
A pre-order is completely different then someone with a completed order that was subsequently recalled.
The note says nothing to people with 6 month old LX800's at Meade waiting to be repaired. Those are NOT "pre-orders"... those are completed orders.
It was nicely "lawyered" in my opinion. The recalled, are still in no-man's land as per that announcement.
Posted 11 January 2013 - 05:35 PM
I'm also interested in what they give as the tracking specs, now. When Jason was still talking to us, he was giving about 16 seconds peak to peak and 5-6 guided. Of course, if they shift the price point away from the Mach 1 GTO's, this would be less of a big deal.

There are almost always better percentage margins with high end equipment over Costco "toys" But chasing after the big bucks at the expense of the volume sellers is not without risk, especially when the high-end "money makers" are all in "indefinite" recall purgatory.
Posted 11 January 2013 - 05:56 PM
Just dropped in to check my PM's and saw this post. Just an FYI, Meade was supposed to announce them on the 15th but it looks like the cat is out of the bag.
I happen to have one that I got on the 4th and have been doing a little last minute testing. I am trying to find bugs that need to be addressed before it starts shipping back out.
I am heading out this weekend to some dark skies and put it through its paces.
Praying for great weather.

I hope you will be posting some videos of your results. I will be buying a 12" version of the LX850 based on it's performance and from what I have read, it should be impressive. I wish you clear skies.
Posted 12 January 2013 - 04:11 AM
Pun aside, for once I would like Meade to release a product first and advertise later. Was a big advocate of LX800 when it was first announced; now it sends a chill down my spine.

So, what does everyone think the Clones will try to establish on UNI? The running game to take any pressure off Steele, or do you think they will go after UNI through the air knowing that the Panthers will stack the box to stop the run? If I coached UNI, I would have press coverage and bring everyone up and make Steele do something through the air.
Both. I think it will be pretty equal, which is a good thing.

ISU runs a pass offense and we haven't seen much yet. They will come out passing.
SJ all day baby!
We'll always lean towards running the ball if we can. If not we go to the air and mix in the run. People get confused with what running a spread offense means. We run a spread to open up running lanes inside. We'll always look to run first.
I think we'll see a lot of Shontrelle on Saturday.

I agree. If I were gameplanning against ISU, I would stack everyone near the line of scrimmage. Plug up the run game and have enough people around to stop the bubble screens. Then blitz on passing downs. What that doesn't account for is Steele Jantz making plays with his legs and the fact that he throws about as pretty a deep ball as you'll ever see. I fully expect ISU will go deep to beat UNI and for Jantz to pick up a couple of huge chunks of yardage with his feet.
I do think that if they stack the box, at some point Herman is just going to line up Woody and slam into them for a couple of series and then mix it up with a faster back.
I think we will try and run and will be successful. First drive is 80 yds for a touchdown, 7 running plays, 2 passes.
O-line is actually our strength on offense, and we will use it early.
60% run and 40% pass is my thinking.
I think ed run as much as we can and pass only as much as we have to. Regardless, I think Herman shows as little of the playbook as he can get away with on Saturday.
"That's what I do. I drink, and I know things." - Tyrion Lannister
"Success is just failure that hasn't happened yet." - life advice from Latrell Spreewell
We will use the run to open up the pass game. Then it will kind of go with the flow of the game. I don't think they will stack the box right away based off of Steele's highlight video. Yes I know that is a community college, but I still think they may be a little worried about his ability to pass. If I had to guess I would also say 60/40 running!
Follow me on Twitter: @mjballman20
My guess is that they'll try to run almost exclusively until the game is out of reach. Let Steele find his rhythm. Then, when the outcome is decided they'll mix in some passes.
Every coach says they're taking it 1 opponent at a time, but I'm guessing that they'll try to keep it conservative and not show too much Saturday. Just enough for the O to get in synch.
"Me not winning isn't important. You do!"
One if by land, two if by air. It is nice weather, time to get some passing practice in to get Steele some reps. 35-0.

Yeah...no. We run a spread, that means spreading out the other teams, and trying to get your playmakers one on one weather that be by passing or running.
Our best playmaker is Shontrelle, we'll try to run it with him.
I think the ISU gameplan will be easy....
They will target short out routes and slants as Jantz has a strong arm and UNI's defense will be in a position to stop the run. I don't think UNI has the athletes to do press coverage so the intent will be to work the edges, stay away from the middle, and open up the running game. With UNI's strength being 7 seniors in the front 7, the thought of us totally dominating the running game is far fetched.
Lets not forget a couple of huge facts from last years game...
ISU was outgained by UNI by over 100 yards!!! If it wasnt for TWO pick sixes including one at the 7 yard line, and the to fumbles on our side of the 50 including one other inside the redzone, that game could have went either way....Both teams got better since that game so thats even.
The only thing i'm saying is that if we think were going to go in there and bulldoze this team rushing were not!!!!
I think the number 1 criticism of this Herman Offense is i understand the ball control offense - i really do....but guess what...so does every offensive coordinator....there's a reason why Arnaud had 5 interceptions in 2 consecutive games at qb against Iowa..They had safeties and this offense puts our qb in a bad position of not being ready for the defense. Meaning, when the side camera angle can see the safetys in the picture, and your not attempting to go over the top, you've failed as an offensive coordinator.
For this season to be successful and for this squad to be successful, it 100% comes down to Jantz being successful and accurate and putting the ball down the field!!! If we rely on the 5-10 yard passes all season again, i will tell you defenses will figure it out and we will not be successful....We need to bring the longer routes into the equation to open up these defenses.
I hope we air it out and come back to the run!!!!!

Do the matthew
I find many of my outfits are too put together, too thought out. I don't experiment enough with clashing colors, fabrics, styles, and prints. After a few minutes of gazing at the computer in awe of these outfits (practically 1 centimeter away from the screen, mind you) I've decided I really need to take more risks with my style. Look at those prints (floral, geometric, tribal...) and materials (leather, satin, fur...), they are clashing but in a way that matches perfectly. So congrats Matt, you have earned a place on my inspiration bulletin board right above my dresser :P
Oh, and me being a Picnik whore:
I secretly want to dye my hair this color.

This is a great post -- I never would have known about this designer. I'm often enamored of expertly-clashing outfits as well, but it never feels right when I try to wear that style myself -- if anything I feel better when I'm super matchy.
Also, that comment you left me is way too sweet. :)

Jillian- I like my hair color too, but I need some change! I'll probably wait a while though if I do ever dye it.

My hair actually used to be that colour... It was only tempory, lasting maybe four, five washes. It was the first "rebel" thing I had done so I avoided washing it for a week, before my mum found out and made me. Kind of destroys the rebel thing, but I loved it. Love you and your blog- and wish you all the best. :)

text: There are lots of threads on Spotting scopes, and only a couple on tripods. I'm getting a Swaro 80mm STM so now that you know this, what would be a good tripod to stick under this? I'd like one thats not to heavy but I don't want my scope to be shaking all over the place either. Does anyone have experience using this scope. I'm interested in any tripod (Swaro, Vanguard, Manfrotto, Outdoorsman, etc.) I would love any advice, since I can't go anywhere to try them out, sporting goods stores usually only have one or two brands. I don't want to spend a butt load of money, but I don't want anything thats gonna disappoint me either.

By Andy Mohler
You never forget your first time.
Certainly, it was true in this case; the case being my initial meeting with Stan Musial.
I was born only a year before he retired as a player, so my recollections of his on-field exploits were built from viewing highlight clips and baseball cards, and through the eyes of others.
But what struck me about this man - no, The Man - was how important he became to people in the generations AFTER he played. And you can't say that about many people.
Growing up, and in the years that followed, it's amazing that, sports fans or not, multitudes of people are familiar with and have grown to love Stan Musial.
I worked on a lengthy piece for television with Mike Bush several years ago - long enough ago that Stan still occupied an office at his old restaurant on Oakland Avenue; a building that is nothing more than a faint recollection to anyone born after 1970. In any event, I interviewed Jack Buck about Stan, and heard him affirm aloud that while he may have seemed too good to be true as a man apart from his sport, he indeed "may have been about the nicest man on the face of the earth." I also interviewed Harry Caray, who described Musial's exploits to Cardinals fans over the airwaves for 17 of Stan's 22 seasons. Harry could be downright unfair toward some players, but he was nothing but reverent when he spoke about Stan that day; in fact, his voice rose into a feverish pitch as he described the day 32 years earlier when The Man hit five homers in a doubleheader and nearly hit more!, an emotional Harry proclaimed.
I went with Mike the day he interviewed Stan. My head was full of his achievements: the 3,630 career hits - amazingly, 1,815 at home and 1,815 on the road - the 24 All-Star games, the homer to win the 1955 Classic, the swan song base hits past a rookie named Pete Rose in 1963. And I was aware of the way others felt about him, but meeting him was an affirmation to what a decent man he was; engaging, a smile that never left his face, full of stories, and though we were there for a while he never once looked at his watch or gave any indication that he had more important things to do. And when we left, it was as if we left the company of an old friend, one you couldn't wait to see again.
My favorite story that he told involved his milestone 3000th career hit. He went on to say that there were only about ten thousand people in attendance at Wrigley Field that day, but since then probably three times as many folks had come up and told him they were there. And then he reared his head back and laughed at his own joke as if someone was telling it to him for the first time.
The comparisons to his contemporaries were inevitable; with Williams, with DiMaggio, with Mays. Willie was flash and boyish enthusiasm but "The Say Hey Kid" could also be prickly. Williams may have been a more explosive hitter but he didn't limit his explosiveness to hitting a baseball: his hate-hate relationship with the Boston media was well known. And the great DiMag was aloof and kept his distance from the admiring throng, as if he walked on a higher plane than mere mortals. But Stan - that man, The Man, embraced everyone in his midst. He made us all as much a part of him as he was a part of us. Those other stars may have flashed more brightly or more keenly, but not one of them - no one, perhaps - carved out heroics as consistently, as steadily, and yes, as decently, as our Stan. Nothing speaks more to his perfection in knighthood as does his 71-year - let that sink in for a minute - 71-year - marriage to his lady fair, Lil. And less than a year after her passing, Stan decided it was time for him, too, to go. He had been away from her for too long. Don't we all aspire to, and so many of us fall well short of, such a tender bond enriched by so many years together?
Whether by giving out autographs by the pen-load, serenading thousands on the harmonica, or greeting everyone in his path with a trademark "Whaddayasay, whaddayasay, whaddayasay!", Stan Musial lifted us up to his level as opposed to deigning us with his presence. It is no wonder that this man , The Man, who lived through the terms of 17 U.S. presidents and rubbed elbows with twelve of them, was embraced by succeeding generations of St. Louisans who learned the legend of his baseball feats from their elders but carried him in their hearts merely by what he did and was long after he retired.
I remember seeing Stan hit a home run in an Sunday Old Timers' game at Busch Stadium - in the highlights on television; my best friend saw it in person. He was over 50 when he did it, and I still recall the thrill I had in seeing it. To my young eye, it was as if this great baseball player could be retired but still come back and hit a home run any time he wanted to. If I was more in touch with my thoughts at that young age (I was ten), I might have had a similar notion to the one Mr. Buck did after he witnessed Musial's five-homer day in Jack's first year calling Cardinal games: Does he do this every Sunday??
Outside of this area, there had to be reminders of his greatness in later years; Baseball commissioner Bud Selig had to use his powers to add Musial to the All-Century team in 1999, for example.
Writer Joe Posnanski wrote a terrific cover story on Stan in Sports Illustrated a few years ago, letting the rest of the world in on our little secret - the greatness and sheer decency that was, is, and forever will be, Stan Musial. He painted a loving portrait, enhanced with stories such as the time Musial rapped a late-inning, bases-loaded double against the Cubs that was wrongly called foul.
Two Cardinals were tossed out of the game for arguing the call and nearly a third. Musial calmly asked what the hubbub was about, shrugged his shoulders, and went back to the plate and stroked an identical double, a ball hit mere inches and yet obviously more fair than the last. Keen brushstrokes were added, such as the amazing note than in over three thousand major league games, he was never ejected. People from in and out of the game of baseball shared to the writer what we in St. Louis have never taken for granted; Stan was a treasure to meet, to know, to be with.
It was a painting that we in St. Louis had in our mind's eye all along, but millions more were allowed in to see and appreciate the masterpiece that had always been in our very midst.
I got to see and talk to Stan several more times over the years; always an honor, never taken for granted, and every time as special as the first. But never quite like the first.
People who have never called St. Louis home wonder how a man can mean so much to one city. Perhaps it will be a secret we'll keep from those outsiders - how The Man will always be so important to this city.

A memorial service for Lou Reed is set to take place in New York on Thursday.
The gathering will be held at The Paul Milstein Pool & Terrace at Lincoln Center and will feature tracks by the rocker in lieu of speeches.
Reed, the pioneering musician who fronted influential rock band The Velvet Underground and won mainstream acclaim with solo songs "Walk on the Wild Side" and "Perfect Day", died last month at age 71.
While the band never achieved great commercial success, it revolutionized rock in the 1960s and '70s with a mixture of thrashing guitar licks and smooth melodies sung by Reed or the German model Nico.
EXTRA: Lou Reed's death sparks sales spike
The Velvet Underground has long been recognized as a major musical inspiration for punk art and rock, as reflected in a quote often attributed to musician Brian Eno: "The first Velvet Underground album only sold 10,000 copies, but everyone who bought it formed a band."
Neil Portnow, president the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences, which bestows the Grammys, credited Reed with "introducing avant-garde rock to the mainstream."
His uniquely stripped-down style of guitar playing and poetic lyrics have had a massive influence."
Inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1996 as a member of The Velvet Underground, Reed grew into something of an elder statesman of rock, a towering figure in a club with fellow legends such as Bob Dylan and Neil Young.
Reed died at the Long Island home he shared with his wife, Laurie Anderson, following complications from a liver transplant earlier this year, his literary agent Andrew Wylie said. An admitted hard drinker and drug user for many years, Reed underwent a liver transplant earlier this year in Cleveland, his wife revealed, after he had canceled a series of California concert dates in April.

anyone been using the tight spot quiver? you like it? worth the cost?
anyone been using the tight spot quiver? you like it? worth the cost?
I know quite a few guys that swear by them. I personally have never used one but will be putting one on my next set up for sure
Yes they are well worth it. I had one on my bow this year and it was awesome. I carried my bow on my pack for a week with the quiver facing out and dragging it though some nasty stuff and never had a single problem.
thanks guys. ill be getting one. you think it does a pretty good job taking in the extra vibration?
I also have the tight spot, it is a very well built quiver. There is no vibration or noise if you properly adjust the rubber dampner against your riser. Well worth the money in my opinion.
I picked one up tonight at cabelas. It is marked strother brand but exactly the same and save 10$. Inside the package, it says tight spot. I just installed it on my bow and can't wait for the sun to rise to fling some arrows.
Love the Tight Spot!!! Excellent quiver!
Best quiver ever!!!!!

Food companies make progress in reducing sodium
Salt has quietly been slipping out of dozens of the most familiar foods in brand-name America, from Butterball turkeys to Uncle Ben's flavored rice dishes to Goya canned beans.
A Kraft American cheese single has 18 percent less salt than it did three years ago. The salt in a dollop of Ragu Old World Style pasta sauce is down by 20 percent. A serving of a Wishbone salad dressing has as much as 37 percent less salt. A squirt of Heinz ketchup is 15 percent less salty.
FDA label guidelines for sodium
The Food and Drug Administration has definite guidelines as to the terms a food company can use when describing the sodium in the food on the label. Keep these terms in mind and make a point of buying low-salt foods on your next trip to the grocery store:
• Sodium free means less than 5 milligrams of sodium in a portion.
• Very low sodium means less than 35 milligrams of sodium in a portion.
• Low sodium means less than 140 milligrams of sodium in a portion.
• Reduced sodium food contains 25 percent less sodium than the original food item.
• Light in sodium food has 50 percent less sodium than the original food item.
• Unsalted, no salt added or without added salt means absolutely no salt has been added to a food that's normally processed with salt.
R.J. Ignelzi
Their manufacturers are among 21 companies that have met targets so far in a voluntary effort to get food manufacturers and restaurateurs to lighten up on salt to improve Americans' heart health. While it's unclear whether consumers have noticed the changes, campaigns aim to get more salt out of the national diet in the coming years — a challenge for an ingredient that plays a role in the taste, preservation and even texture of food.
Salt reduction has become a recent focus of public health campaigns in the city and elsewhere. Salt, or sodium chloride, is the main source of sodium for most people.
Sodium increases the risk of high blood pressure, a major cause of heart disease and stroke. Dietary guidelines recommend no more than 2,300 milligrams of sodium a day, equal to about a teaspoon of salt; the American Heart Association suggests 1,500 milligrams or less. But average sodium consumption in the U.S. is around 3,300 milligrams, the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have found.
Officials said the first step was a meaningful one.
"The products they're making healthier are some of America's most beloved and iconic foods," noted New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg who has led the effort and is a fan of Subway's meaty Italian BMT sandwiches, which are now 27 percent less salty.
Health officials say Americans get the vast majority of their salt from processed and prepared foods, and not necessarily the foods they'd imagine: Bread and rolls are the No. 1 source.
"The problem is not the salt on the table. The problem is the salt on the label," New York City Health Commissioner Dr. Thomas Farley said.
The amount of salt in any given food item can vary widely. A slice of white bread can have between 80 and 230 milligrams of sodium, for example. A cup of canned chicken noodle soup has between 100 and 940 milligrams. A 1-ounce bag of potato chips ranges from 50 to 200 milligrams.
In one of a series of healthy-eating initiatives on Bloomberg's 11-year watch, the city announced voluntary salt guidelines in 2010 for various restaurant and store-bought foods. Besides trimming salt levels in the foods by 25 percent by 2014, the campaign aimed to reduce consumers' overall sodium intake by 20 percent in the same time frame. Interim targets for the foods were set for 2012.

best finish of a game I've ever seen!! wow!......the Boise coach is the smartest coach I've seen in awhile.....I'm pumped because Stoops tried to run it up against us this year
Did you miss the national title game last year? IMO it was a better game, but this was pretty good too.
Nope, sorry, don't agree. I THINK IT WAS THE BEST COLLEGE FOOTBALL GAME I HAVE EVER SEEN, BAR NONE. What a game. Yes, the finish was amazing. But so was the beginning, where BS went up 14-0. Absolutely fantastic from beginning to end. INSTANT CLASSIC.
not saying this one was better, but it compares!
Don't confuse hope for a plan.
Oh wow, did anyone just see that? One of BSU's players finishes interviewing with the Fox guy, then turns and proposes to the head cheerleader right there on the sideline!
Man, if that isn't a perfect setting, then I don't know what is. Congrats to them both!
True and Valiant
I also remember a game with Kansas when Cy (wore a huge suit then) went out to center field, squatted, and "pooped" a couple of chickens that had been dyed blue then chased them around.

i saw the title game last year....and that was NOTHING compared to this.....that was vince young just taking over for two drives....obviously the stakes were bigger, but this was about 10 amazing plays in the last 3 minutes of the game...
They are 1 and 2 for sure!
This game meant less but was better than Vince Young game.
Let Prohm's Posse Ride: Hallice, Brady, Stu, Lard, Naz, Deonte, Monte, Matt, Simeon, Jordan, and Babb.
Best game ever, hands down.
I don't think its anywhere close to best game ever. I think last year's USC vs. Notre Dame game was better -- even better than last year's national championship game.
definitely a CLASSIC !
And seeing Oklahoma lose is always a plus!
Texas vs. OSU from last season was another great game but was forgotten in the wake of USC vs. ND and the title game.
Amazing game. OU did everything it was supposed to. They must feel like the rug just got pulled out from under them. It was odd seeing all of the trick plays that never work out all strung together and executed well for a change.
Whoever was doing the offensive play-calling for Boise State did the best job I have ever seen...those calls at the end were genious! And, to have the team prepared enough to run those plays effectively in a tight spot...wow! Boise St. is well-coached.
GREAT game last night. I have a feeling that not a lot of people saw the ending as it ended at 11:45 our time which is a total shame.
Whoever chooses these games to start at 7:30 or 8 is a moron...
That being said, does the BSU coach have balls or what? The play calling at the end of the game was just gadget play after gadget play.
Also, I thought the announcers were TERRIBLE. Bad, Bad, Bad.
I'm still pumped up this morning! I say the title put more empathsis on last years TX/USC game - but for shear "I can't look away"-ness this game has to be tops in quite some time.

A Primer on Skepticism
Monday, January 3rd, 2011 at 7:17:00
After a year of blogging it's time to reflect on the value of this rag, what it's accomplished, who it's speaking to, and what it has to say.
The answer? Beats me.
Well, I guess that's not true. I suppose one has only to look at the most commonly used tags column on the page to get an idea; science, animation, skepticism, art, and design round out the top 5. I suppose that means that the blog is about those things, but as I've tried to come clean about before, there's something nefarious at work concerning the subject matter. As a core mission, this blog aims to take mankind's unique ability to recognize and experience beauty, and to use it as the context within which to make a key point; that a naturalistic, or skeptical, view of the world is not a vacant one.

The flu season is in full force and it's here a lot earlier than normal. That's creating serious concerns for health care providers. The fast moving flu strain is creating a problem.
It's here, it's spreading and your flu shot probably won't protect against it. A new type of influenza has surfaced and much earlier than expected.
"We're seeing more influenza coming in very recently in the past week," Dr. Gary Zaid says.
"Definitely a lot more people with flu symptoms in the last two or three weeks," says Dr. David Stern.
Normally January is the height of flu season, but many U.S. states already are reporting a great deal of influenza activity.
"It's probably related to the mild weather we're having lately. The last couple of years we've had a rapid cold November and it's kept people from congregating with each other and spreading the virus," adds Dr. Zaid.
To make matters worse, the influenza strain most of us are getting is not targeted in this year's flu shots. Still doctors are urging Americans to roll up our sleeves and get the shot.
"There will be some strains that will go around that are protected by the shot," says Dr. Stern.
And if you do get sick, the shot can reduce the severity of most strains. With the busy thanksgiving travel season just around the corner, the flu is likely to spread even faster. So keep in mind common sense prevention like hand washing which also will give you a shot at staying healthy.
Doctors say influenza is characterized by high fever, cough and sore throat. If you have these symptoms you should seek medical attention as soon as possible. Influenza can lead to hospitalization and sometimes death.

Vázquez Mota is the first woman to present a strong challenge for the presidency of Mexico. She will share her experience in the public arena, how she sees herself as an example for women on the world stage, lessons learned throughout her career and critical lessons for leadership demonstrated in her life. She also will discuss how young people play a role in politics.
"The young organized themselves and put forth their own agenda, challenging the politicians and candidates to respond to them," she said. "This new situation, I am convinced, represents the greatest challenge for politics in our future. Not only to develop pertinent agendas which address what young people want, but also the mechanisms to really give opportunities for them to fruitfully participate in politics."
She has held several key national positions, including Secretary to the Social Development Minister during Vicente Fox's presidency and the Minister of Public Education during Felipe Calderόn's presidency. Labeling her cause "liberty freedom," Vázquez Mota ran as a presidential candidate in 2012 for the Partido Acción Nacional, receiving more than 12.4 million votes.
Vázquez Mota is also the author of two books, one of which sold a half million copies. She has a degree in economics from Universidad Iberoamericana, a Jesuit university in Mexico City.
The event is free and open to the public and is sponsored by the Office of the President, Cameron School of Business, Center for International Studies, and Department of Modern and Classical Languages.

text: My son and I hunted his youth hunt in the Ochoco last week (Oct 13-19) We had heard stories from others hunting previously that the elk were all over. Most of the hunters we saw claimed to not be able to find any either. It took us 4-1/2 days to find three cows, but the shot was too far for my son. The next day we called in a nice 4x4 bull to about 15 yards. And a 5x5 the next day. Too bad we had an Anterless tag for sure! But OTHER than that...the woods were void of Elk. We saw 200 deer in our 6 days there. I'm sure the pressure had driven them down or out of the area. But we weren't sure. Just wondering if anyone had an explanation...Thanks

Wrecking Crews Draw Cheers in Blighted Baltimore Neighborhoods
For the residents of the Oliver neighborhood in East Baltimore, one of the most welcome signs of change these days is the demolition crew.
Recently, they celebrated, along with Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake, as a city-sponsored wrecking crew leveled the 600th vacant house, part of a surge in demolitions over the last two years. The current wave of demolition has been fueled by the $9 million proceeds received by the city in a settlement of a mortgage scam.
"There are new investments coming," said the mayor said as the latest house was razed. "There is a brighter day for your community."
The $9 million is earmarked for rebuilding the community by demolishing and rebuilding a series of vacant homes.
With over 40,000 vacant buildings in Baltimore, 16,000 of them registered by the city as vacant homes targeted by the city, the task of stemming the decline of real estate and restoring neighborhoods is daunting, city officials and residents say.
Neighbors in the Oliver neighborhood and in blighted neighborhoods throughout Baltimore are pleased that the dilapidated, empty buildings –often home for homeless squatters, illegal drug users and vermin—are being targeted for removal.
"I think this is a great thing," said Brianne Mobley CQ, a resident in Northeast Baltimore. "Many times when I travel around Baltimore, especially in the downtown area, I am always amazed by the blocks and blocks of boarded up and condemned homes."
Rawlings-Blake also said that the movement to renovate the blighted areas will get a boost from a $900 penalty for failing to maintain property. Legislation was just enacted by the Baltimore City Council to get property owners to upgrade neighborhood residents, or encourage residents to move or sell their property.
"It encourages the property owner to fix up their property, raise their property, or sell their property," said Councilman Carl Stokes CQ.
The revenue from these fines will be used to renovate many homes before they become vacant so demolition is not always the first option.

Los Angeles, CA (Sports Network) - For the second consecutive game, Ohio State
needed a clutch shot to stay alive in the NCAA Tournament.
Now the Buckeyes are one step away from their second straight trip to the
Final Four.
LaQuinton Ross scored 14 of Ohio State's final 17 points, and his 3-pointer
with 2.1 seconds remaining boosted the Buckeyes to a 73-70 triumph over
Arizona in a West Regional semifinal.
On Sunday it was Aaron Craft playing hero by hitting the winning 3-pointer in
the final second, a 78-75 triumph over Iowa State. Four days later, it was
Ross' turn, as the sophomore came alive in the final eight minutes.
Winners of 11 straight games, the second-seeded Buckeyes (29-7) will play in
the Elite Eight Saturday versus the survivor of the La Salle/Wichita State
matchup. The Buckeyes lost to Kansas in the Final Four last year.
One more victory, and Thad Matta's team will gain a trip to Atlanta.
Deshaun Thomas scored 20, Craft had 13 and Sam Thompson finished with 11 for
the Buckeyes, but the big story was Ross, who finished with 17 points.
Mark Lyons scored 23 and Solomon Hill added 16 for the sixth-seeded Wildcats
(27-8), who had blowout wins over Belmont and Harvard in their first two games
of the tourney, but failed to hold an 11-point first-half lead against the
Lyons drove in for a layup with 1:07 left for a 70-67 margin. The Buckeyes
called timeout with 43 seconds left, and then Craft missed a layup, high off
the glass.
Lyons raced the other way, received a pass from Nick Johnson and was fouled by
Ross while sinking a layup with 21.8 seconds left. The made free throw tied
the game, and Craft had the ball in his hands, but passed up an opportunity to
win the game to Ross.
Craft dribbled at the top of the arc, and delivered the ball to Ross, who
nailed a deep 3-ball.
Hill's ensuing baseball pass was deflected away by Ohio State's Lenzelle Smith

(WUSA) - Larry Hagman, the actor best known for his role as J.R. Ewing in the long-running TV drama "Dallas," has died, according to media reports.
The Dallas Morning News, citing sources close to the actor, reported on its website Friday night that Hagman,a native of North Texas, died on Friday afternoon at a Dallas hospital.
The paper reported a statement issued by the Hagman family, stating that he died from complications with his recent battle with cancer.
Our CBS affiliate in Dallas has also confirmed Hagman's death.
The family statement continues: "Larry was back in his beloved Dallas, re-enacting the iconic role he loved most," the family said in a statement. "Larry's family and close friends had joined him in Dallas for the Thanksgiving holiday. When he passed, he was surrounded by loved ones. It was a peaceful passing, just as he had wished for. The family requests privacy at this time."
The Dallas Morning News reports that Hagman's "Dallas" costars Linda Gray, who played his wife Sue Ellen, and Patrick Duffy, who played brother Bobby, were at Hagman's side.
Hagman, whose mother was stage and screen actress Mary Martin, also starred in another iconic TV series, the quirky comedy "I Dream of Jeannie."

May 31, 2016
LANSING, Mich. (AP) -- Gov. Rick Snyder has signed a bill to make it easier for people to wipe juvenile crimes off their record.
The new law will allow people to go to court to erase up to three offenses a year after the case is closed, instead of five years. The old law allowed only one offense to be expunged.
The bill, sponsored by state Rep. Joe Haveman, R-Holland, was easily approved in the Michigan House and Senate before the Legislature's recent adjournment.
Haveman says the new law will help people who made bad decisions at a young age and are facing barriers to college, employment or the military.

Roger Federer surged to his 13th major title when he outplayed Brit baller Andy Murray 6-2, 7-5, 6-2 for his fifth consecutive US Open championship. He becomes the first baller in the Open Era to grab five consecutive wins in New York and the first in history to capture five consecutive wins at two different majors (Wimbledon, US Open) - wow.
The Swiss stylist was at his aggressive best hitting his trademark forehand into the corners, coming in behind second serve deliveries, and serving solidly as he did throughout the fortnight.
This championship run, in particular, was a sweet one for Fed after all the talk of his imminent demise. But the former no. 1 never got down despite all the questions:
I was always positive, you know. I knew that if things go my way, and this year hasn't always been the case. You know, I lost quite a few matches I should have never lost, and they hurt. Now, getting the fifth US Open, it really means a lot to me. I really thank the fans, as well, the crowds. They were great.
I mean, from the beginning, that's really what I was hoping for. And losing my No. 1 ranking, that's also what meant a lot to me this season. So to bounce back straightaway after losing the No. 1 ranking, this is the best scenario ever.

Looks like a good start.
Valnort (tentative name) Hold is a settlement on the outskirts of a forest in a fantasy world. It is meant to be one of several locations which delineate a relatively safe area for civilized folks and the wilds of the nation of Ranyk. In this case, the town outside of the hold itself was designed by a superstitious architect who felt that including a protective spell in the arrangement of the city would help repel invaders , and so he designated the places where houses could and could not be built, resulting in a particularly confusing layout for the housing in the western residential quarter. Being in favor with the duke who was granted the territory of Valnort, the architect's design was followed and, what was not built during the initial construction was mandated under ducal law -- any homes built must fit into a prescribed space and shape for the sake of the spell. Those who've lived there for long know their way around, but as the smaller streets in this district are unnamed, visitors often wind up confused as they hunt down a friend or an address.
At its greatest spans, the city stretches only 840 feet (900 if including the outer edges of the towers) east to west, and while the hold itself protrudes to the south, the city alone spans not more than 750 feet (810 with the towers) north to south. Including the protrusion of the keep, the territory does fill square dimensions -- the exterior of the southern wall is used by stables and for solid waste disposal. The city walls are 20 feet high, with the towers rising 10 feet higher, for a total of 30 feet high at each tower.
Valnort Hold is divided into five districts: the Ducal Hold, the residential district, the public district, the miller's quarter, and the merchant's quarter. Dividing the districts from the quarters is the main avenue, along which are several prominent businesses including the Healing Hand Physicians, Trent & Son's Clothing, and the Ducal Bank. The residential district, in the west and along the interior of the southern wall, is crowded except along the main avenue leading from the main gate to the Ducal Hold. The architect's superstition has not failed the town yet, so the occasional building sticking out into the middle of the rue premiere is tolerated of the Residential District is tolerated. The central district, the public district, has several taverns as well as a temple of faith, a non-denominational sect which attempts to nurture peaceful relations by allowing all with any faith to worship their deity of choice within a single temple. Also notable is the flophouse opposite the Ducal Bank, where closets can be rented for lower rates than an inn or tavern room.
In the north is the Millers' Quarter, where lumber brought in from Valnort Forest is cut and stored and sold. The lumberjacks receive their pay from the DeWarl's Mill as they bring in lengths of tree and bundles of well suited scrap from the trees. A number of lumberjacks live in this district, but the Miller's Quarter is kept clear so carters can easily bring the processed lumber from the mill warehouses to their carts. In the east is the Merchants' Quarter, largely dominated by the Manuscript Collection, a library, book store, and scribe hall, but being home to the Wolfram Tanner and Pozzel's Smythy attracts numerous adventurers and members of the Guild of the Many Talented. Most buildings in this district sell something, even the small ones nearest the walls or the main avenue.
The Ducal Hold is open to citizens from dawn to dusk six days a week, provided you don't want to enter the hold itself. The grounds serve as a market for residents of the city, where farmers of the Valnort region come to sell their vegetables or freshest kills, as well as housing the Ducal Guard Barracks, where members of the Ducal Guard can grab a meal or tools. The southern branch of the ducal hold's grounds has a garden maintained by the duchess and anyone else who cares to aid in keeping the garden lovely. To enter the hold requires approval by the Ducal Guard or a personal invitation from a resident of the hold, such as the Duke, Duchess, or the butler. The hold stands 40 feet tall by 300 feet along each direction, and in the center of the courtyard for the hold is an elaborate sunsphere raised to 50 feet high on a flagpole, which catches and gleams in the sunlight, and lights up the city during the dusk hours during the winter months.
Looks like a good start.

This thread is in the right secction?
Lands of Fagacea will be my first map, but i just started to draw and got some doubts that is making me stop and not think it nice.
As soon i get new solutions i will updating here about this map.
First big change in the shape. The area north from Tristania got a connection with the North Pole. Wanted get a "epic" ship cross between the ice for one of the Larcenia Expeditions getting oil and sending to Valdorn. Trying to get better visual after find a new style to finish shape forms.
Historic of the thread
Let me show my problens:
I am using Photoshop for this map.
[CHANGED]The Map (Updated nov, 26, 2112)
Followed to create a big map using as reference of small maps of 2400x1800 px, can edit the big map with new dimensions for a more or less detailed map[FIXED]Resolution:
nov, 26: Still dont know how to define the resolution, my map got so huge!
I followed the instructions in http://www.cartographersguild.com/tutorials-how/2596-[award-winner]-bitmapped-images-technical-side-things-explained.html and used 1280x 1024 in beggin, but after the progress map got much more bigger.
Now i dont know if this map need to follow a standard or something
So i lost the resolution of all my brushes making me use they as 30~45 px
Getting better resolution and reducing the File size
I Created a standard re-drawing my icons following a standard of dimensions, like using 20 px for trees, 35 for towns and montains. Drawing with small dimensions help to not lost the resolution when i use it bigger.[FIXED]Bigger is in the original size, after scanner and make the vectors, and the small is the 30 px
Is it normal? i am felling something wrong and need orientation
I saw some ppl using this feature in GIMP very well but still not found a way in Photoshop, so i give up to try and started use it manualy[ABORTED]The other question is about brushes, i tried find something it here, but i gues it is so specific that is making hard to find one thread saying about. I will show my montains, looks like one is one montain over the other and not one covering the other. I want that one montain hide the lines of the other montain, is it possible?
thank you

Well unfortunately I don't have much experience with this technique and so can't really offer you advice on it. However, as to the section, you would probably do better to place this in the "How do I" section.
I can't talk too much about the technical resolution side, seeing as I'm hardly an expert. About the map itself, I think you're off to a good start! I like the general shape of the landmasses, and the icons for the towns, trees, etc. look quite nice in my opinion. I look forward to see what you come up with next, keep it up!
My blog:
My current project:
Thyrdain: personal fantasy campaign setting map
Ok, i am afraid about the resolution coz maps ins looking so bigger, and thinking that it will make everthing small when u see the whole map.
About the brushes i will try draw small and big groups of the sets, like a group of montains and trees and it will made a low frequence of covering. Problem is that i only can scanner my drawings monday in my jod and holydays in Brazil
Ok just finished the north side and WOW!! How is hard to make a nice coast line... i have a lots to improve.
I need edit point by point of my patch? Or have a simple way to do it?
I am in the point that i need some help and advices. After i finish all the shape, map got HUGE. I still drawing, and probly will finish with this resolution, in the end i will get a detailed map of the entire world.

Very beautifully done ^.^
That is looking really good. As for the resolution -- how will you use the map? If it is to be printed out, what size paper ?
When you say it got bigger, do you mean the dimensions, so many pixels by so many pixels, or do you mean the size of your PS file on disk?
