Road Tour: Leg 3Written by on October 16, 2007 Contributors: Tom Medley From San Antonio To Pomona
If your idea of a good time is rolling up miles on your street rod, seeing the country through a bug-covered windshield, and generally having a great time hanging out with the best like-minded folks on the planet, at least one of the legs of the STREET RODDER / PPG Road Tour should be on your summertime schedule. I was lucky enough again this year to draw the Vintage Air leg from San Antonio to the L.A. Roadsters Show & Swap Meet in Pomona, California. And while the beginning and end of this year's Vintage Air leg were the same as last, trail boss Rick Love made the middle substantially different this time around by leading us through New Mexico and Arizona on miles of fun-to-drive and scenic two-lanes. To make things even better, this year I got the chance to travel with the one and only Tom "Stroker McGurk" Medley in his '40 Ford coupe.
As usual, before we departed on Sunday, June 10, a few of the cars were attacked by gremlins, and Tom's '40 was one of them-the alternator decided to quit charging on the way to our motel Saturday night. That wouldn't normally be a big deal, but it was 10 p.m. and all the parts stores were closed, and we were planning to leave at 7 a.m., before any of them would be open. So, in true STREET RODDER style, we came up with an alternate alternator plan. George Packard fired up his Deuce coupe, and then his battery was swapped for Medley's so we could get to Rick's garage on the battery power. There, stashed under his workbench, was a slightly grimy-but-serviceable GM alternator; of course the wiring harness had to be modified, and the mounting ear had to be tapped to work the mounting bracket, but then if this street rod stuff was easy, everyone would do it. Slightly blurry-eyed from our repair session that lasted until the wee hours, we met the gang at Vintage Air on the appointed hour, hit Highway 90, and headed west.
At our first gas stop in Uvalde, Texas, the gremlins returned, this time attacking Jimmie Vaughan's gorgeous Flathead-powered '32 Ford five-window. The alternator's mounting stud had pulled the threads in the intake manifold, and, as a result, the belt that runs the alternator and water pumps couldn't be tightened. But, like every other time we've seen a street rod have problems on the road, help came from everywhere. Fellow travelers, locals just driving by, and even the town policeman on patrol stopped to see what they could do to help. A trip to the local farm supply produced a bolt to replace the stud and we were on the road again.
For reasons I've never been able to figure out, there's always at least one street rod version of a Chinese fire drill on our segment of the tour, and this year was no different. After a lunch stop in Del Rio, Texas, Tom and I were among the last to leave, so of course we looked at this as a chance to turn the wick up on the '40 to catch the others. As we rounded a bend at speed, a gust of wind blew Tom's cap out the window, so of course we pulled over, turned around, and went back to look for a $9 hat. Over the years, Vintage Air's Jack Chisenhall and son Landis have followed the group to make sure no one with problems gets left behind, so they pulled over when they saw us turning around. By the time we found Tom's hat, reversed direction again, and were making tracks to catch up, the Chisenhalls had turned around and were coming back to check on us. Even as we passed at speed, we could all see the smiles on each other's faces; it doesn't take much to entertain street rodders.
A short detour off Highway 90 took us to the Judge Roy Bean Visitor Center. Remarkably, the original building that was Bean's home of law west of the Pecos-as well as a bar and pool hall, among other things-still stands in the town he named after English actress Lillie Langtry, nicknamed the Jersey Lily. After checking out what was the Jersey Lily saloon, we opted for the offerings of the town's post office/store-soft drinks and ice cream push-ups-then it was on to our first night's stop in Fort Davis at the historic Hotel Limpia. That evening there was a car show and barbecue in the town square.
Monday morning we stopped just out of town to tour Fort Davis, said to be the best surviving 19th century military post. Active from 1854 to 1891, the fort was brought back from near ruin thanks to an ongoing national park service preservation and restoration program. The authentically restored barracks had everyone speculating what life must have been like back then.
As if to go from one extreme to another, our next stop was in Roswell, New Mexico. On the way into town, a number of sharp-eyed street rodders spotted a salvage yard full of vintage tin from the '40s, '50s, and '60s. Unfortunately a few herd of sheep were the only living things on the premises, so we had to be content looking at it all through a chain-link fence. A few more miles down the road we found the center of town and the International UFO Museum and Research Center. Evidently the last spaceship that landed in town was full to the brim with T-shirts and bumper stickers, and they're still trying to get rid of them. Somewhere there's a street rod plastered with a "My Other Car is a UFO" sticker, but don't blame us.
Tuesday we continued west through the rolling hills of New Mexico. After a lunch stop at K-Bob's in Socorro, we wound through the hills of "Billy the Kid" country, stopping in Capitan, the birthplace of none other than Smokey Bear. This was an interesting stop for those of us who could remember the "Only You Can Prevent Forest Fires!" campaigns from the '50s. When the Smokey Bear fire prevention program began in the '40s, an illustration of Smokey, wearing jeans and a campaign hat, pouring a bucket of water on a campfire was used. Then, in 1950, a tiny, badly singed bear cub was found clinging to a tree during a blaze in the Capitan area. The little black bear was nursed back to health and became the living symbol of Smokey. He lived in the National Zoo until his death in 1975.
At our lunch stop earlier in the day, we were tipped off that Pie Town on the continental divide was a great place to check out; as you might guess, we packed the place. After this stop, Medley and I were among the last to get on the road, and as we crested a hill not far down the road we found the Road Tour coupe parked on the side of the road with our very own pavement pounder, Jerry Dixey, and STREET RODDER Publisher Tim Foss discussing the finer points of fuel management. After all the wisecracks like, "These guys know less about street rods together than they do individually," and, "Who was the genius that swapped the 16-gallon tank for a 12?" were over, we turned our attention to solving the problem at hand. By this time, the Chisenhalls were on the scene, but between all of us there wasn't a siphon hose or a can to put gas in. Around the time we were deciding who was going to get fuel, Seth Bradley and his father, John, pulled up in Seth's Deuce roadster. And, although the Bradleys couldn't help, they knew someone who could-Bob and Kathleen Jackson were just ahead of us in their '41 Dodge coupe and they had a full fuel can onboard.
As the Bradleys took off in hot pursuit of fuel, the roadside discussion returned to why the coupe hadn't made it to the next gas stop. About the time the verdict was reached that the Deuce wasn't level last time it was filled-so even though the gauge read full, the tank was down just enough to make a difference-our rescuer showed up. But it wasn't any of our tour mates, rather the driver of a tool-and-welder-laden carnival repair truck pulling a caramel apple, candy, and cold drink trailer who stopped to help us out. The congenial carny drained a couple gallons of gas from the truck's tank into a container and we were soon on our way. Good thing, too, because what we didn't know was that the Jacksons had used their extra fuel, as they had run out as well. Needless to say, every gas tank was filled to the brim when we all met at the next station-particularly those who opted to take the 35-mile side trip through the Petrified Forest National Park.
Our evening stop was just off Route 66 at the historic Las Posada, the last great railroad hotel, in Winslow, Arizona. As it had played host to the likes of Bob Hope, John Wayne, "Hopalong" Cassidy, and others, the rooms were each named after a particular guest. Regrettably, unlike some hotel chains' advertising campaigns, I can tell you that staying in the Albert Einstein room has no noticeable effect.
At about this point in the trip, Medley and I began talking about how well things had gone for us up to that point-we both should have known better. After stopping to take photos of some of the cars passing by, I slipped behind the wheel of the coupe and hit the starter. When the small-block Chevy roared to life, it did just that ... it roared. The flange of the driver-side exhaust manifold had broken off and the engine was belching fire and fumes from what was left of a ram horn. While the rest of the group headed off to take the scenic Grand Canyon loop, we limped into Flagstaff, Arizona, in search of a sympathetic muffler shop. As luck would have it, we found Junior Sandoval's Muffler Magic. With Junior's street rod parked out front, and a customer's on the rack, we knew we were in the right spot.
As Travis Devening brazed the manifold together, we made another discovery: The vibration damper had just about worn a hole in the lower radiator hose. Of course none of the local parts houses had a hose that even resembled what we needed, so we improvised once more. Junior bent up a piece of tubing and we used two short sections of hose to connect to the water pump and radiator. With the coupe as good as new, and Medley's favorite tape of Louie Prima and Keely Smith cranked up, we caught up with the rest of the group as they were pulling into the night stop in Laughlin, Nevada, at the Aquarius Hotel. Along with everything else the casino had to offer, they provided us with roped-off covered parking.
On day five, we rolled through the desert across the border into California. As he had during most of the trip, Medley signed posters, T-shirts, old copies of Hot Rod magazine, and just about anything put before him at the lunch stop. A true legend in the hobby, at 87 years young, Medley is tough to keep up with. His enthusiasm has never waned, he has more energy than most people half his age, and everyone pays attention when he talks about hot rod history because he knows how it all came to be; after all, he experienced most of it firsthand.
After lunch we pulled off in Monrovia to check out Steve Metz's Staging Lane Productions; among other things, Steve is the maker of those cool desktop Muscle Machines. Virtually across the street is Mosher's Performance, a shop that specializes in Mopar wedge and Hemi cars. The place was packed with mind-blowing musclecars.
Although we had made it, the West Coast tour wasn't over yet. Friday morning the gang stopped at the Planes of Fame Air Museum in Chino, then that afternoon we were off to the SO-CAL Speed Shop open house in Pomona. As if we hadn't had enough, the rest of the weekend was spent at the L.A. Roadsters Show & Swap Meet, where the club provided a special parking area for Road Tour participants.
As in years past, Jack Chisenhall, Rick Love, and the entire Vintage Air crew went out of their way to make their leg of the tour memorable for all the participants and we're looking forward to next year already. At this point, about all we can say is that the destination will be different in 2008, but we can guarantee getting there will be loads of fun, as always.

Medley was busy signing Stroker McGurk art and an assortment of shirts all week. Kevin Hunter's coupe served as a workbench while wife Cyd got an autograph.Even after a long day's drive, there always seems to be a get-together every evening in the hotel parking lot. This one took place in Roswell, NM.One look at the straw-stuffed mattresses in the restored Fort Davis barracks made most of us appreciate even the lumpiest of motel beds.For the most part, breakdowns on the trip were relatively simple, but then a minor problem for one rodder is a major catastrophe for another.Capitan, NM, is home of Smokey Bear. Rick is trying not to notice that Landis Chisenhall is becoming way too fond of a wooden bear.Pie Town is pretty much in the middle of nowhere on the Continental Divide. You can guess the specialty of the house and why it was a popular stop.The COE parked at Pie Town held some interesting vintage parts, such as a pair of wide-five Ford wheels, an early Chevy four-cylinder block, a T wishbone, and a spare tire cover.Medley was forced behind the first national street rod event, but he's still at it all these years later.
Our tour cars out-numbered the "civilian vehicles" at most of the stops along the way, making for pretty impressive impromptu car shows.Seth and John Bradley were with the tour for the start. They made a valiant effort to find gas for Dixey and Foss.Dale, aka the carnival repair guy, stopped to drain off a couple gallons of gas to get Dixey and Tim Foss back on the road.There's no steam engine, but, as in days gone by, Love, Medley, Lark, and Vaughn tell stories trackside at the La Posada in Winslow.Such a fine sight to see-Cal and Kathy Williams' homebuilt '38 Ford leading the pack on the streets of Winslow, AZ.We were lucky enough to find Muffler Magic in Flagstaff, AZ, when the exhaust manifold came apart on the '40.We found a radiator hose that was about to fail when the '40 was on the rack to remove the broken manifold.
While rumors persist that the Road Tour has taken its toll on Dixey, we can report he's alive and well, and probably coming to a town near you.

Welcome and thank you to have choosen this web site about the U-boat bases of the Second World War in France : Brest, Lorient, St-Nazaire, La Pallice and Bordeaux.
The U-boat bases in France were the home port of the most famous U-boat flottillas from 1940 to 1944 :
- Brest : 1st and 9th flottillas
- Lorient : 2nd and 10th flottillas
- Saint Nazaire : 7th and 6th flottillas
- La Rochelle : 3rd flottilla
- Bordeaux : 12th flottilla (+ italian submarines)
U-Boat Bases and Bunkers 1941-45 (Fortress)
The fortress serie from Osprey is quite interesting as it covers a topic only previously browsed by specialized books (and thus expensive). The "U-Boat Bases and Bunkers" is a good start for whom want to know a little more about those concrete pens. 3D illustrations and present day pictures of the unbreakable survivors illustrate this book. The only drawback is that it lacks some infos about civil engineering (concrete technology, jobsites evolutions,..) and about the norvegian sites.
Hitler's U-Boat Fortresses
Hitler's U-Boat Fortresses is a caprivating, eye-witness account by a World War II participant of the Allies' campaign to capture the German U-Boat pens on the coast of Brittany. These submarine pens were active and responsible for sinking a massive amount of Allied ships right up until armistice. As very little has been written about the Allied campaigns in Brittany and their importance to the overall European war effort, this book is essential for any reader of history.
Hitler's Navy: A Reference Guide to the Kriegsmarine, 1935-1945
"Hitler's Navy", by Jak P Mallman Showell, is an outstanding reference book on the Kriegsmarine from 1933 through 1945. In the 29 years since the book's first edition, Showell has discovered additional primary references to improve on an already great book. As a reader with general interest in military history, and not specifically naval history, I thought the book hit the mark. Showell provides the reader with easy-to-understand text, and numerous photographs. Visually, the book's layout is superb with the text and associated photographs on the same page.
In summer 2010, visit one of the bunkers of the base and clim the roof with an incredible view of the surroundings.
In one of the pens of the U-boat base, discover how a submarine works and the mysterious life of the crews. Have a look on the incredible history of the city of Lorient in the XXe century. The tour ends inside the submarine named FLORE, a old "Daphné" french submarine.

Record Marathon Registration Numbers are Crashing Servers, but Not Yielding Better Runners
Just seven tiny years ago, I couldn't have told you how far the 26.2 mile beast was. I didn't even know what 5K meant. Now, the race of epic proportions is just part of my daily life and vernacular. I used to think this made me unique, different from the crowd. I didn't just run, I was a marathoner. In the seven years that I've called myself a runner, the world of running has changed pretty dramatically. I may not be as set-apart as I thought.
The registration numbers are growing tremendously as the marathon seems to be a "must-do" item on so many people's "bucket lists." I like the idea of more runners, but I'm not so sure the quantity increase is bringing more quality to the sport. Don't hear me wrong, there's room for many speeds in running, but is there room for people who don't train properly? Is the marathon really a place for someone who doesn't respect the distance? Bottom line: what's happening with the marathon? What's it becoming? And what are the side effects of all of these people taking on the once exclusive 26.2 mile race?
Research published in 2012 and reported by StrideNation.com stated that marathoners used to be one in a thousand. Now, for every 607 Americans, one of them finished a U.S. marathon in 2011. The annual report from Running USA also stated that since 2000 there has been a 47 percent increase in in the number of marathon finishers nationwide. These increases are being seen outside the charts and surveys. In 2011, the New York City Marathon had more than 47,000 finishers. This made for the largest race ever held.
Other large scale signs are being seen in what happens when marathoners attempt to sign up for the major races. In 2010, those attempting to register for the 2011 Boston Marathon crashed the race's website and the event filled within hours. This race requires qualifying times, so not just any runner could sign up, but the number of eligible filled the slots quickly, something that rarely ever happened in recent past. This forced Boston to change their qualifying times and registration process.

The Idaho Falls Idaho Temple presides over waterfalls that were first built in the early 1900s.
Falling for Idaho Falls
Find fun inside and out in this friendly city on Idaho's Snake River.
View places to see, stay, and eat
So a potato farmer and a nuclear scientist meet on a hilltop . . . In most places this would be the start of a joke, but in Idaho Falls it's just another snowy day at Freeman Park, the city's favorite sledding spot. Eastern Idaho's largest city draws a diverse crowd, thanks to the area's combination of rolling farmland and the Idaho National Laboratory. Visitors find a welcoming community with an eagerness to play outside, a vibrant cultural scene, and small-town charm.
In downtown Idaho Falls, mom-and-pop antique shops, restaurants, and boutiques occupy the brick storefronts that line the streets between the Snake River and the railroad tracks. The Willard Arts Center houses two galleries, artists' studios, and the elegantly restored Colonial Theater, which was built in 1919 for vaudeville shows and, these days, hosts concerts. The Museum of Idaho celebrates the state's accomplishments—such as the first lightbulb lit by a nuclear reactor at the nearby research lab—and of the nation: One prize artifact is a Revolutionary War flag with 13 stars and 13 stripes.
The city's falls as they appear today—a 1,500-foot-long cataract paralleling the greenbelt along the shore—were built in the early 1900s and expanded several times, most recently in 1980. In days of long ago, the original cascade of white water on the Snake River was most notable as an obstacle to pioneers heading west.
Facing the falls, Wasabi Japanese Restaurant & Sushi Bar offers great views and serves fresh fish prepared by Sumiko Mitchell and her son, Jerry. Next door, Snow Eagle Brewing & Grill makes its snappy namesake pale ale in the fermentation tanks right in the dining room. Good flavors can be found elsewhere, too. SnakeBite Restaurant wins fans with its house-seasoned Grand Teton burger. You can pick up a cup of locally roasted coffee at the airy Villa Coffeehouse, and Reed's Dairy sells grilled cheese sandwiches, ice cream, and the thickest chocolate milk around (the secret is potato flakes) right from its creamery.
Destination ski resorts lie within striking distance, but for a quicker fix, head to nearby Kelly Canyon Ski Resort with its 26 family-friendly runs and network of cross-country and snowshoe trails through cedar and pine forest. Legend has it that in the 1800s a robber hid $50,000 in stolen gold dust in Kelly Canyon before fleeing with the law hot on his trail.
After a day on the slopes, heat might sound like something you'd rather bask in than evade. If so, soak in the 104-degree outdoor pool at Heise Hot Springs. The original 1896 log lodge is still used as an office, and there's even a statue honoring Heise matriarch Elsie Quinn, who bought the resort with her husband, Robert, and ran it until she was in her 90s—just the kind of homespun hero that makes Idaho Falls tick.

Hot Off the Runway: Fresh-Faced with Colorescience
We were so lucky to have the talent of the Colorescience Team creating Beach Bunny's Mercedes Benz Fashion Week Swim fashion show runway look. There is something so beautiful about fresh-faced look that the team created for us. We had to get the scoop. (click image so see more)
BB: How is runway make up different than doing make up for editorial or every day looks?
C: Runway is about a POP of colore! You need to apply more color in order for it to pop under the hot lights! It is also important to set the make-up properly, using our Setting Mists. The mist provides luminosity and longevity for the makeup. Models tend to sweat under the hot lights and the mist helps keep everything in place.
BB: What was your inspiration when creating Beach Bunny's runway look?
C: Beach Bunny is a fashion forward bathing suit line and asked for a modern bronzed Smokey eye. We used the eye colore as our POP! In order to complement the trendy Miami setting and their hot suits, we created a "beach friendly face" that made a statement and still looked natural.
BB: How can women incorporate some of the daring makeup looks from the runway into their everyday makeup?
C: We can all wear some version of a Smokey bronzed eye, no matter your age or skin color. One thing to keep in mind for daytime is LESS IS MORE. If eyes are starting to age, it's important to know that less shimmer or light reflection on the lid the better. Instead, try a creamy matte peach or matte bronze to start a natural day time smokey eye. For nighttime, wet the same color all over the lid to give it more depth and line the entire eye in pencil for a dramatic look.

Juice isn't a necessary part of a baby's diet, and it's not as valuable as the original fruit itself. Too much juice might contribute to weight problems and diarrhea, as well as thwart your baby's appetite for more-nutritious solid foods. In addition, sipping juice throughout the day or while falling asleep can lead to tooth decay.
If you choose to offer juice, wait until your baby is at least 6 months or older. Also, make sure the juice is pasteurized, mild, 100 percent fruit juice. Limit the amount your baby drinks to 4 to 6 ounces (118 to 177 milliliters) a day — about one food serving of fruit — and serve it in a cup.
Don't offer cow's milk or honey before age 1. Cow's milk doesn't meet an infant's nutritional needs — it isn't a good source of iron — and can increase the risk of iron deficiency. Honey might contain spores that can cause a serious illness known as infant botulism.
To prevent choking, stick to foods that are soft, broken down into small pieces and easy to swallow. As your baby progresses in eating solid foods, don't offer hot dogs, chunks of meat or cheese, grapes, raw vegetables or fruit chunks, unless they're cut up into small pieces. Also, don't give babies hard foods, such as seeds, nuts, popcorn and hard candy that can't be changed to make them safe options. Other high-risk foods include peanut butter and marshmallows.
If you offer solids to your baby before age 4 months, avoid offering home-prepared spinach, beets, green beans, squash and carrots, which might contain high levels of potentially harmful compounds (nitrites) from soil. If your drinking water comes from a private well, consider having it checked for nitrates.
Keep in mind that citrus can also cause some infants to develop a rash.
When your baby begins eating solid food, mealtime is sure to become an adventure. Here's help making it more enjoyable — for both you and your baby.
Enjoy your baby's sloppy tray, gooey hands and sticky face. You're building the foundation for a lifetime of healthy eating.

(SportsNetwork.com) - The Detroit Pistons will close out their tour through
the Sunshine State when they visit the Orlando Magic Wednesday at Amway
The Pistons are coming off Monday's 102-96 setback to the Miami Heat, as
Brandon Jennings led Detroit with 26 points, Rodney Stuckey added 20 and Greg
Monroe and Andre Drummond both recorded double-doubles in a losing effort.
Monroe had 17 points and 11 rebounds and Drummond ended with 12 points and 12
boards for the Pistons, who had a two-game winning streak stopped.
"Against a great team like this and on the road, you got to be a little bit
more conscious of the turnovers," said Pistons forward Josh Smith, who had 12
points in the setback.
Detroit, which had 21 turnovers against the Heat, has lost three in a row on
the road and is 10-13 as the visitor this season.
Orlando will open a four-game homestand Wednesday versus Detroit, Oklahoma
City, Indiana and Memphis, and is 10-14 in central Florida this season.
The Magic have lost two in a row and five of six games, including Monday's
98-79 setback to the Pacers. Arron Afflalo scored 18 of his 20 points in the
first half to pace the Magic, who have lost 12 straight road games. Nikola
Vucevic had 16 points and 13 rebounds in the setback.
"They were just more active on their tags and in disguising their defense.
They did a great job of making us shoot tough shots," Magic rookie guard
Victor Oladipo said. "We missed a lot of shots we normally make. That's
something we need to learn from and bounce back."
In injury news for the Magic, veteran guard Jameer Nelson (knee) is
questionable Wednesday.
Orlando and Detroit have split two meetings already this season. These two
teams have split the last 16 meetings at Amway Center.

WASHINGTON (WUSA) -- Fatty breasts versus dense breasts: is having one better than the other? Women with dense breasts are considered at higher risk for developing breast cancer.
But it was also believed their prospects for a recurrence, even death, was poor. But a new study offers some surprising results for women in both categories.
"We depend on high quality mammography & positioning to separate out the structures...In fatty breasts it's like looking through a clear brook and that makes finding those spots more readily," said Dr. Rebecca Zuurbier, Director of Breast Imaging at Sibley Hospital.
A woman with dense breasts' risk for breast cancer is still higher than the woman with fatty tissue, but digital mammography has been an imaging game changer.
A new study by the National Cancer Institute offers encouraging news to women with dense breasts. The NCI study followed more than 9,300 women for nearly 6 and a half years before the digital mammography era. It concluded high breast density had no impact on mortality risks once the disease had developed.
Surprisingly, that wasn't the case for some women believed to be at lower risk.
According to Dr. Zuurbier, "Obese women with fatty breasts were actually found to die more frequently from breast cancer and that's kind of unfortunate because those are the ones you can find earlier."
Dr. Zuurbier believes the issue of dense versus fatty breasts has been a little overblown. Having one is not better than the other based on these results. What the study does prove is that every woman can benefit from high quality digital mammography, which she says is safe and effective at finding breast cancer early.
"I am all in favor of finding breast cancer early, but making women with less dense breasts think they're safe would be a bad message," said Dr. Zuurbier.
The bottom line: the study's authors say the findings show we have a lot to learn about dense breasts tissue and its implications for screening, diagnosis and treatment.

So I was looking at my join date t'other day (yes it's wrong, my original Duff account was registered on the 28th, with another account registered four days before that), and just had a quick think about just how long I've spent here.
I've just turned 20. When I registered I was 14 and a couple of weeks away from starting studying for my GCSEs. Now I'm in my second year at university with a shitty part time job on the side to fund life. I've been on this site for nearly a third of my life. I dunno about anyone else but that's quite scary, particularly when I think what I did then and what I'm doing now. God knows where I'll be in another six years - still on this site no doubt, just with a lot more money and a nicer car (hopefully...).
I dunno why I made this thread. Just wondering if anyone else has ever thought about how much their life has changed in the time they've been shitting over the boards I guess. Any stories?

Oh, good one. The "you're on the internet so you must have no life" insult isn't moronic or unoriginal at all. You must, without a doubt, be a very important member of society, not at all a waste of the already barely valuable gift of life.
As is the case for everyone who takes issue with people who make them sad on the internet, you are one of two kinds of people:
You are exactly what you claim I am, and that is a lonely, pathetic basement dweller. You life is spent eating eight pounds of junk food per day, masturbating to anything you find online that's even remotely feminine, and wishing you had good looks and social skills. You continue to live with your mother until she dies of a combination of lung cancer and liver failure brought on by the chain-smoking and heavy drinking she used to cope with what a failure you are. Your mother mercifully dead and free of the living embodiment of failure she regretfully thrust from her loins, the bills start to pile up and you, unemployed and unable to pay these bills (of course), lose the house and everything in it. Somehow even more of a failure than you already were, you wander from place to place eating out of dumpsters and sleeping in your own filth until you finally die of AIDS, which you contracted from a diseased whore you scrounged up enough money to pay for, so you could finally lose your virginity while at the same time pretending that your mother was back in your life.
You are the type who was an athlete in high school, who was genetically doomed to be an idiot but managed to finish school and even get a college scholarship because you were so good at a worthless children's game. You went off to college with a suitcase full of polo shirts and condoms, the polo shirts, because you're a douche, and the condoms to prevent you from impregnating the dim-witted young college girls whom you could never touch without the aid of Rohypnol, a drug you refer to as "roofies" because you can neither spell or pronounce Rohypnol. You scrape by with borderline D's for the next four years, and leave the campus to go out into the real world where your realize you're not intelligent or talented enough to do anything of value with your life. Misery and minimum wage ensues for thirty years, then you blow your brains out, and your corpse, alone and forgotten, is not discovered until the smell of rotting flesh seeps under your door and your bodily fluids finally soak through the floor of your studio apartment and into the room below you. Your body is cremated, the ashes scraped into a garbage bin because there was no one in your life who valued you enough to pay for a casket, funeral, or burial plot.
You're undoubtedly one of the two, otherwise you would have better things to do than complain about the theme of a forum that doesn't care about anything you have to say.

Update: reformatted the design for the iPhone5 case
so beautiful Terry, I wonder what inspired this image? St Basil Cathedral's shapes or you had some story in mind??
Thank you, Marianna! As for inspiration - the movie "Up" for sure, that idea of being able to escape the ordinary via some romantic mode of transportation. Why St. Basil's? Well, I've always loved St. Basil's Cathedral, it looks like something straight out of a fairy-tale, but the biggest reason is that visually, the stripes in the balloon mirror the stripes in the spires of the cathedral in a cool way and I think that's what makes the design work and pulls everything together.
I love this!
Amazing detail! Love it.
beautiful work!
amazing details! simply beautiful
This has a great vintage vibe!
This is gorgeous!
Great composition and colours - love it!
This is the perfect balance of realistic, whimsical, and fun. I love it.
Excellent work
I love it
love the idea, I will promote you
Great illustration!

best cooking shoes I have ever had

I wanted to wait for a while before I reviewed these shoes as I have had a lot of cooks shoes that sounded great out of the box but did not live up to expectations in the long term. I purchased these in april of 2014 and it is now the end of february 2015. below are my observations. Overall they are comfortable but they do take some adjusting to , there is a small ridge that runs parallel to the base of your toes that will kind of be uncomfortable till your feet toughen up. but once broken in they are really super comfortable. the front of the shoes are made of a durable thick rubber that is spill proof and cleans easily, I just hose mine off every night after my shift and they look like new. they are very very durable , after 10 months at 40 hours a week they still look like new and the soles hardly show any signs of wear. the non slip surface of the soles is absolutely great and will stick tight to the greasiest and wettest floors however if you do not work on rubber mats they have a tendency to accumulate a thick layer of crud which can be very slippery when you hit a wet spot, I end up having to spray the soles clean at least one time a night, rubber mats seem to keep the crud scraped clean by comparison. overall for the price I feel that these are the bar none best cooks shoes I have EVER purchased all of the others fall apart after 4-6 months and are often much less comfortable to wear.

This is my third pair of Crocs and unfortunately the least comfortable I have purchased. They are inflexible, extremely tight, and narrow in spite of the fact that the listing says they're roomy. I've worn them for about 2 hours hoping they would relax a bit but no go.....If I don't wear socks they're okay but it's winter and the ones I just disposed of, 5 years old, were much more comfortable and more of a roomy fit. I have to wear these in the chicken coop because I can't get chicken poo on my good shoes so I hobble through my chores with them on. I'm almost reluctant to try another pair even of a different style because I'm concerned that the next pair also won't fit and then I'll be out the money for both pair!! ~sigh~ What a disappointment.

I was surprised to find that they were narrower than the Bistro vented size 14 that I bought last year. I bought size 15 this time for more length but had to return them since they were too narrow.

Comments about Crocs Bistro:
Had purchased a pair of these shoes wow about 9 years ago I quess and work in a pharmacy they finally need to be replaced wore them every day for a 40 hour week Kidd you not !Great shoes ! Great comfort !
Comments about Crocs Bistro:
I am on my feet for an 8 hour coffee slinging shift. These shoes are comfortable. I had a size 7 pair (bought at thrift) and they were ok. Throughout the shift I found my socks twisting around my toes. I tried the size 6 on at the store and the smaller size seemed a better fit. I ordered the size 6 (better price online) and have had no trouble with them. My only challenge is how hot my feet get while working. Summer is approaching and I hope my feet won't be too hot! I wonder if I should have tried the pair with the vents... Next order perhaps if the shoe fairy doesn't leave a pair under my pillow! The non slip sole is wonderful as I don't need any additional challenges remaining upright on the wet tile floors :o) I cannot say how long they will last but I am a couple months in with no challenges thus far. I had another style (neria) that I wore for a couple years with a few reglues of the non slip soles.

The best shoes for standing on your feet all day.
Comments about Crocs Bistro:
They are extremely comfortable. I can stand for hours with no problem.
Comments about Crocs Bistro:
Sizing needs to be more spefic. I love my crocs, but there is much too drastic of range in sizing
Comments about Crocs Bistro:
I bought a pair of bistros over 2 years ago that killed my feet. I assumed I just got a bad pair or something since they seem to have decent reviews. I recently decided to buy another pair to give them a second try and again they just kill my feet. They feel extremely hard and rigid and don't form to my feet. I have a relatively average arched foot so I'm not sure why these are so painful to wear. I'm on my feet for about 10 hours a day in a bakery and have enjoyed regular crocs(which seem so much softer yet dangerously slippery on wet floors) in the past but these will definitely be going back.
Comments about Crocs Bistro:
I went to a nearby store to see what size I needed to order online. At the store, I tried on a size 9W and it fit perfectly. I tried 2 pairs of the same size just to make sure and they both fit just right. I had to order my crocs online because they did not accept my coupon at the store. Once I got my crocs, they did not fit. They were really tight! Now I have to re order them or see if they stretch out!

Q:I wear a men's size 7.5. Will be wearing socks with these, and using as outdoor/backyard "garden" shoes. Should I order a 7 or an 8 in Crocs Bistro? Thx !Asked on 8/29/2015 by John M. from Tulsa OK
1 answer
A:The Bistro is offered in our roomy fit option, which is the most spacious that we have. I usually suggest going down to the next smallest whole size for this reason. If you plan on wearing thick socks always with this pair, however, the size 8 may be a better option to provide enough space for them.Answered on 9/1/2015 by Helpful Heather from Crocs
Q:Are there no size 9 available or is that croc size just not made for men?Asked on 7/14/2015 by Chris from paso robles ca
1 answer
A:This style is currently available in both men's and women's sizes including a M9. While the navy M9 is currently out of stock, additional Bistros should be added to the website by mid-October.Answered on 7/17/2015 by Helpful Heather from Crocs
Q:What is the difference between this Bistro & the Specialist Crocs?Asked on 7/2/2015 by Jae
1 answer
A:The Bistro and Specialist Crocs are very similar styles. The biggest difference between the two is that the Specialist features a tread very similar to our Classic Clogs. The Bistro features a very slip-resistant CrocsLock tread, which makes it ideal for greasy floors.Answered on 7/7/2015 by Helpful Heather from Crocs

Veteran rocker Meat Loaf has put retirement on hold to sign up for a residency in Las Vegas.
The "Bat Out of Hell" hitmaker is heading to the Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino for an 18-date stint, which is scheduled to kick off on Sept. 26.
Meat Loaf will play stripped-down versions of his greatest hits, and insists he can't wait to perform for the crowds in Sin City.
He says, "I'm thrilled and honoured to headline the first series of RockTellz & Cocktails in Las Vegas. I'm excited to offer my fans such a personal experience, one that lets them share in the crazy journey I have been on."
Meat Loaf, 65, follows in the footsteps of Sir Elton John, Rod Stewart, Celine Dion and Shania Twain, who have all staged Las Vegas residencies.
The rocker previously declared his recent U.K. tour was to be his final run of gigs after struggling to regain his fitness following knee surgery last year.

WASHINGTON, D.C. (WUSA) - In this week's Food Alert, we have five closures -- including one which was sparked by a WUSA9 viewer who contacted us via Facebook about a 7-Eleven with rodents, in Montgomery County inspectors issued a citation for a worker living in the back of a specialty grocery, and a Little Caesars and others were suspended for operating without running water.
To know about restaurant closures first, follow @russptacek on Twitter or Facebook.

WUSA9 viewer complaint prompts 7-Eleven closure for rodents
When a WUSA9 viewer contacted me on Facebook complaining about the 7-Eleven on South Capitol St. SW being unresponsive to her concerns about a mouse and roach inside the store, I suggested she contact the health department.
She did, and soon messaged me back reporting that, based upon what she had told me, the District of Columbia Health Department had taken action at the Southwest convenience store.
DC records indicate inspectors responded and shut the 7-Eleven down, citing hot dogs at unsafe temperatures, a live roach under the nachos display, rodent droppings inside the store and out, a large rat behind the store, and no certified food manager on duty.
Watch the video to see a worker who claimed to be a certified food manager wave his card in front of our cameras, but refuse to show it slow enough for us to determine whether it was valid.
Below you'll find contact information for area health departments, so you can report violations too.
Montgomery County specialty grocer cited for "living quarters" in back of store and unsanitary conditions
Watch the video to see what we found in the bathroom and on the storage room floor at Chennai Spices on Quince Orchard Rd. in Gaithersburg.
Inspectors cited the specialty grocery store for roaches, using the store as living quarters with a toddler in the back, no paper towels in the bathroom, and dirty equipment, floors and walls.
Hyattsville Chinese restaurant closed for operating with no hot water
Prince George's County officials say a water main break disrupted water service to several restaurants that continued operating without running water including Hearty's, Checkers, and Little Caesars.
Inspectors closed Hearty's Chinese on Queens Chapel Rd in Hyattsville for operating with no running water.
The inspection also cited no paper towels, no soap, and food stored on the ground.
Checker's closed for operating with no hot water
In addition to operating with no running water, inspectors cited Checkers on Queen's Chapel Rd. for an expired health department permit and for having a sick off-duty employee in the back of the store.
The health department ordered all Checker's food destroyed.
Little Caesars on Queens Chapel was also operating without running water.
All the restaurants passed re-inspection and were allowed to reopen prior to our visit.
How to notify inspectors of filth and other food risks
If you identify a health risk at a restaurant, grocery store or other food establishment, a complaint to your local health department would likely result in an official inspection within 48 hours.

Latin superstar Gloria Estefan is launching a reality TV search to find the perfect actress to portray her onstage in an upcoming Broadway musical.
The "Rhythm Is Gonna Get You" hitmaker and her husband, Emilio, announced plans to bring the star's life story to the stage early last year and now the auditioning process is set to begin ahead of the show's debut in 2015.
Previous reports had suggested Jennifer Lopez and Mexican singer Thalia were in the running to portray Estefan on Broadway, but it appears those rumors are no more as producers of "On Your Feet" are looking for two actresses to play the singer as a teen and in her 20s, and Estefan reveals they will be taking their search across the globe.
The 56-year-old tells the New York Daily News, "It's going to be daunting, but I have no doubt whatsoever that we are going to be able to do it and (it will be) so much fun to be a part of the processes."
The show, previously titled "Do That Conga," will follow the Cuban-American singer's early years in Miami, Florida and her rise to fame, including her recovery from a career-threatening broken back that she suffered in a near-fatal tour bus accident 1990.

Successfully venturing to Hollywood, Fox essayed similar characterizations in "King Rat" (1965), as a POW under the influence of a schemer (George Segal), and in "The Chase" (1966), as Jane Fonda's wealthy but spineless Texas husband. More conventional leading man duties came with "Thoroughly Modern Millie" (1967) and as one of the lovers of "Isadora" (1968) in that biopic of the dancing Duncan. Perhaps Fox's finest work in this period came in the bizarre but galvanizing "Performance" (1970), as a vicious hit man on the lam who hides out at a reclusive rock star's (Mick Jagger) mansion and falls prey to a series of bisexual orgies and weird costume changes.

Your map is pleasing to the eye and I think you have a good knack for this. I think the mountain style is a bit odd though. We don't have any mountains here in Florida, yet I find your mountains strangely familiar.
This is my first serious attempt at creating a map in the Gimp - following (parts of) the Tutorial by RobA
It's not entirely done yet, missing some city names and such.
Specifically, could I get any advice on rivers? How do I figure out where they're supposed to go?
Best wishes,
Your map is pleasing to the eye and I think you have a good knack for this. I think the mountain style is a bit odd though. We don't have any mountains here in Florida, yet I find your mountains strangely familiar.
First off.. Welcome Aboard!
Overall not bad for a first attempt at RobA's tutorial. The mountains are usually what seems to get most people (I know it did me - several times ). I think they need to be a bit darker - they look a bit like clouds.
I'll second Immolate on the color scheme - very pleasing to the eye.
Have some 'rep' for uploading it in your very first post *bonk*

Thank you very much, both of you. I tried making the mountains darker by duplicating the overlay and whacking up the opacity - Not too bad, I think, and definately better, no?
Edit:I just realized that the colors on my external monitor are much darker than on my laptop, so the mountains weren't nearly as light in the Gimp (external monitor) as they displayed in my browser (laptop screen) - bah.

There are two threads that talk about river placement, entitled "How to get your rivers in the right place" and "Essential river guidelines for mapping."
Between the two of them, those threads contain most of the collected wisdom on rivers that has been posted here.
Bryan Ray, visual effects artist
Thanks... I'd already been skimming through the large one, but need to study it more closely - and try out some of that software, I suppose.
Wilbur looks interesting with its new features for finding rivers, I reckon.
So, I decided to pretty much start over, reusing only the basic outline of the island. I did some experimenting with Wilbur to get rivers and heights closer to what I wanted, and used the height map extensively in the rest of my Gimp work.
New type of forest, rivers. Decided that I kinda like the outline around the coastline. The water isn't quite right, but figured I'd throw up a work in progress for now.
Yet another iteration. Everything is better now, I think.
I agree, very nice. Don't take this the wrong way but I'd throw out the swamps and forests...don't really need them. The mountains still need some work but I don't know enough about Gimp to help ya.
If the radiance of a thousand suns was to burst at once into the sky, that would be like the splendor of the Mighty One...I am become Death, the Shatterer of worlds.

Those rivers are stupid awesome, how'd you go about putting those together?

Small, invisible on my TV, Android 4, functions well with some work. After following poorly written hard copy instructions for installation I got a "mode not supported" on my Samaung DLP. After researching Internet blogs, I used another TV to set resolution to a supported mode (1080i 60Hz), and it started working well. Some TVs will automatically adjust, some won't. Working well now, better than some other boxes because you can download any apps from the app store, not just those already installed on the device. Includes USB port for mouse, keyboard, or wireless keyboard. Streams video well across my wireless-n router, and turned my TV into a huge Android tablet. At this point I am really happy with this purchase. Geeks is one of the best internet vendors out there!

Intended to use it primarily as a Netflix player. Not sure yet if the reason I'm not impressed is because of the TV dongle or the Netflix player for Android, but I'm definitely underwhelmed by this aspect of the functionality.Also there are frequent crashes at startup that appear to be caused by the google play / market app. Supposedly this can be remedied by replacing the market app.Would be more comfortable customizing it if the original firmware was available from manufacturer, but as usual no-one claims responsibility for it's existence.As with just about everything this cheaply priced, it's about what I expected. Hopefully with a little more work it won't end up collecting dust in my closet before summer arrives.

Doesn't work to watch ESPN3
By Number19

Comments about Generic Android Powered HDMI TV Stik Adapter w/Wireless-N & USB Ports (White) - Turn your HDTV into a Smart TV!:
Couldn't get my Logitech wireless keyboard and mouse to work. Using a wired USB mouse. You Tube works pretty good. The Watch ESPN app seems to be too fast for the processor. Screen just can't keep up. Tried all the settings for different resolutions without any success. Even did an update. Still no luck with ESPN.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

for a semi-tech person got it to work out of the box, added wireless mouse and additional usb storage with a multi-port-usb adapter, needed a gender changer to work with a HMDI cable or it would have plugged into the rear of the big screen.. first thing get all the updates you're allowed (can't do Android but not a big thing ).. nice toy, good price.

Included directions are written by non-English speaking person and inadequate. I have had trouble with using wireless mouses from beyond a few feet. Had to remove other nearby rf devices. Sometimes works slow as molasses or will seize. Went back to connecting my computer to TV since it worked faster and smoother. Would not recommend.

Great Bang for the Buck

Works as good as advertised
By msacademy

The only thing I dislike is the glowing blue power/wireless light. I have it on a mounted TV in bedroom. I don;t like the "nightlight". But if I shut it down from the Android side, I can't power it back up without unplugging it and plugging it back in or power cycling it. But it works great and lets me watch NetFlix without getting out of bed.

It works right out of the box. My Vizio 47" TV, also purchased from Geeks even has a USB connector to power this device.
Better than I expected!
By grappalover
from Remington, Virginia
Not much to it. Just plug it into a standard HDMI port. I tried my computer monitor and my TV. 1920x1080. Connected it to my home wifi, signed in with my google account and it patched all the apps. For wireless keyboard/mouse combo I used a Logitech K400 Keyboard which has a mouse enabled touchpad -- which worked great from my couch at about 12 feet. I checked my mail, watched some videos on Youtube. Audio is only supported through the HDMI. Still this little toy worked like a champ! No regrets.

ARLINGTON, Va. (WUSA9) - Child care advocates are angry over a proposal in Arlington County that they say would take standards back some 30 years.
To help close a budget gap, County Manager Barbara Donnellan has proposed to get rid of Arlington County's Ordinance 59, and the Cline Care Licensing Office which regulates the county's child care center regulations. That would leave only the state of Virginia's regulations, which many say are substandard and do little to protect children.
The national child advocate organization Child Care Aware gives Virginia an "F" for its regulations.
Arlington County enacted its own standards for child care centers back in the 1970s. They are much stricter than the state's, ensuring that even small home day cares meet specific teacher child ratios, and teacher qualifications. such as CPR.
Sandra Redmore is the director of the Clarendon Child care center, which has a long waiting list. She's worried if standards revert, Virginia's quality and safety will also suffer. Virginia requires no regulation of home daycare center that have 5 or fewer children. That's no inspection, no requirements, no standards for anything. Not even background checks for caretakers.
Arlington Board member Mary Hynes doesn't like the proposal, which would cut only about 300 thousand dollars from Arlington's annual budget.
"Considering our large budge, that's a drop in the bucket, but you've got to find the money somewhere," said Hynes. She said the board must figure out what to cut to fill the budget gap, or raise taxes.
Sandra Redmore is so determined to fight this cut that she's started a petition and already has some 600 signatures. She's also signed up to speak at the county's next budget meeting on Tuesday.
"Wealthier families will always be able to seek out quality child care. I do believe the children from low income families will be hurt the most," said Redmore.
Arlington, along with Fairfax County and Alexandria also have higher daycare standards than the state.

Hello everyone!
We are facing some strange activities in Zimbra since a couple of weeks. First of all, i'd like to inform we are still using version 5.0.18 Open Source (yes, i know Zimbra 6 is already out since months now, and we have a plan to migrate to it, but due to our customizations it's still not possible).
The problem is very simple: if i send an email to a specific provider (GMX, a very common mail provider here in Germany), the GMX user becomes two copies. We already proofed that Zimbra really sends the email twice in our logs, but we can't understand why. Between the two sendings, the log shows no error or anything special.
The strangest is that this Problem only happens with GMX, until now we still didn't experience it by any other provider.
So here comes the questions: is it a known bug? Is there any explanation for this behaviour? Or could someone at least point us to any direction on whatelse to check or test?
I must add that this error doesn't happen all the time, but it shows up really often.
Any help or tip will be greatly appreciated.
Best regards,
Rodrigo Costa

It's not that I have eagle eyes. Just the opposite actually. As some of you know I still hunt the timber. Some hunters will use low power binos for still hunting, but over the years ive gotten pretty good at spotting parts of game showing behind tress, rocks etc. with my eyes only.
So, i'm always in iron sight range. If I can't spot the game with my eyes. I sure can't hit it with iron sights.
Sorry, to be off topic. I just thought i'd mention the other side of glassing.
I don't Break the rules, I Modify them.
Some things are stuck way back in our minds, and we forget where we got them. Then again, my dad never used binos, so i'm sure it came from there too.
I'll use binos to find and spotter to judge. Sometimes pick apart cover with the spotting scope as well. I wouldn't say there's a set distance, it really depends on the backdrop and how well things are blending in.
I use my optics to glass everything and as far as possible as well as close. Sure, you may not be able to get to a big ole muley in the same day you spotted him but tomorrow is another day. I'm looking for big animals no matter how far away they are and I'm gonna try and do what it takes to get to him. Finding him is half the battle and optics are the tool to find them. fatrascal.
More hiking, and less glassing might make you skinnyrascal.
Just kidding. I'm the forum clown. Welcome to the forum.

Two in now Orient boss Slade targets a striker
18:15 24 May 2012
O's chief is set to hold talks next week
Orient boss Russell Slade will be holding talks with a striker next week as he continues to rebuild his squad.
Defender Gary Sawyer and midfielder Anthony Griffiths have already joined and the O's chief admitted: "It's nice to get two in the bag early on and I'll be talking to a couple more players next week."
The Orient manager admits he has four main targets this summer. "That's my main focus," he said.
"I want to get four in. I have got a replacement for Charlie Daniels and for Stephen Dawson now, which was a necessity.
"Having lost Alex Revell, Jonathan Tehoue and Jamie Cureton, it's obvious that now I need to get a forward in.
"I might need a defender with Terrell Forbes going and after that it's a case of trying to wheel and deal and then look at the loan market."
Slade is disappointed that teenage winger George Porter has rejected the offer of a new contract and looks set to move on.
"We have heard he has turned his contract down and I'm disappointed because it was a good offer. But the bottom line is we will be entitled to compensation once he goes," said the O's boss.
Slade is working on a reduced budget due to the new wage-capping system, but is delighted with the capture of Griffith from Port Vale.
"He has been on the radar for a while and I'm pleased to sign him as there were four or five clubs chasing him," he said.
"He doesn't mind a tackle, has a good engine and great energy. We need an enforcer in midfield and he is an ideal replacement for Dawson."
