Honda Redesigns its Popular Mini-tiller Debuting the all new FG110
Honda Power Equipment has introduced an all-new version of its extremely popular Mini-tiller. Redesigned from the ground up to be the best four-stroke tiller/cultivator for residential customers, it also will be the first of its kind specifically designed for commercial and rental applications.
Scheduled for release in early 2005 as a replacement for the Honda FG100, the new Honda FG110 will be available through Honda Power Equipment dealers and The Home Depot nationwide, with an MSRP of $379.
"The Honda Mini-tiller changed the way consumers think about buying and using tillers with a combination of portability, ease of use, and value not found in larger tillers," said Honda Power Equipment vice president, Steve Bailey. "The FG110 builds on this success with unique tines, a more advanced engine and more robust components."
Consistent with the commercial and rental focus of Honda's entire tiller lineup, the Honda FG110 features a new commercial grade transmission with a heavy-duty drive gear that is 70 percent larger in diameter. A new front engine guard minimizes the potential for damage during transport and doubles as a convenient carrying handle, while an increase in handlebar diameter from 3/4" to 7/8" adds additional strength.
Further strengthening the package is an innovative new hybrid tine design that incorporates the attributes of both digging and cultivating tines. Developed by Honda engineers, the proprietary design works with a high tine speed of 264 rpm to maximize digging and cultivating performance without compromising one for the other. The FG110's torque characteristics work with the new, more aggressive, tine design allowing the user to easily and effectively till around delicate plants without requiring constant full-throttle power application.
The heart of the new tiller is Honda's compact and efficient GX25 four-stroke engine that is 360 degree inclinable so it can be stored in any position. The result is a tiller that requires no mixing of oil and gas, while delivering the ease of starting, reliability, fuel efficiency, low noise, and low emissions that Honda products are known for. A significant reduction in weight over the FG100's engine enables the addition of heavy-duty commercial grade components without compromising the unit's overall portability.
The FG110 is available with a variety of attachments including:
- Border/Edger
- Aerator Tines
- De-thatcher

KC Close Up: Danny Duffy
On Saturday, we'll be 23 days away the official Spring Training report date for Royals pitchers and catchers! Number 23 for the Royals is Danny Duffy, an easy-going lefty from Lompoc, Calif. Danny made a lot of new fans on Royals Caravan and we had a chance to talk with him about his rookie year, the upcoming season, his favorite TV show and more. Be sure to follow Danny on Twitter (https://twitter.com/dduffkc23)!
Around the Horn: What have the past few days been like on Caravan?
Danny Duffy: It's been a lot of fun. I knew how much support we had – it has been nice to see first hand. There are a lot of neat people who have been supporting us for a long time – it's really appreciated by all of us.
ATH: You were taking some pictures as we rolled across the Flint Hills toward Wichita.
DD: Yeah, I've never seen anything like this from the ground.
ATH: What do you like about Kansas City?
DD: Everything. The barbeque…the people are friendly, the hospitality is second to none.
ATH: Talk about your offseason and preparation going into 2012.
DD: Almost everything outside of hanging out with my family has been baseball related. I've been trying to run as much as I can, do core work and put on some good weight. I'm just doing everything I can to be here Opening Day and help this team.
ATH: Did you travel at all?
DD: I went up to my family's cabin in the Sierras and hiked around a little bit. I don't get to go there in the summers anymore so it was nice to take advantage of a dry winter. Most of the time is spent hanging out with my family.
ATH: What are your goals for 2012?
DD: As a team, we want to make the playoffs. That's first and foremost. Personally, I want to be more pitch efficient. That will keep me at the level that I want to be at. I feel like I've done everything that I can this offseason to assure that my hard work is going to pay off. I'm excited to get out there and prove to everyone that I've been working really hard, as I'm sure the whole team has.
ATH: Talk about some of the highlights of last year.
DD: Getting to the big leagues is obviously a frontrunner…(along with) getting to know everyone on the team…I've always looked up to Gordo since I was drafted. We had never really talked too much before I came up. It's been cool to get to know him and his family…same with Hoch (Luke Hochevar), I've always really looked up to Hoch. I think my favorite part of the year was becoming good friends with people on this team. It's cool to be able to play on the same squad as them.
ATH: Who are some of your closest friends on the team?
DD: I can't really single one person out. Blake Wood…we're good buddies. Eric Hosmer is one of the realest people that I've ever met. Moustakas (a fellow Californian) – we go way back.
ATH: We've seen the Broncos tweets…what are some of your favorite teams?
DD: I think the Lakers are my favorite team, outside of the Royals. I had the opportunity to sit behind the bench this offseason. As corny as it may sound – I think watching Kobe and how hard he works has driven me. I've gone out running after Lakers games because I'm so hyped from watching Kobe. I like Fresno State – I've always been a fan in football.
ATH: You mentioned running and we've also seen that on Twitter. Is that something that you like to do on road trips?
DD: Yeah, I've always enjoyed running. Everybody has their way to wind down and shut the mind down. That's my way to cool off.
ATH: What's your favorite road city so far?
DD: I really enjoyed Arlington because it was so secluded. It was an amazing ballpark, we had a good time down there, hanging out and laying low.
ATH: Are you a video game player?
DD: No, I'm not into video games…but it will be cool to be on one this year. I will definitely check out the new MLB games.
ATH: Who was your favorite baseball player while you were growing up?
DD: Mike Piazza. I had a wall of 50 of his cards and was at his last game with the Dodgers. (Remembering the trade like it was yesterday)…They traded him to Florida (with Todd Zeile) for Bobby Bonilla, Gary Sheffield, Jim Eisenreich, Charles Johnson and Manuel Barrios. (ATH mentioned that Danny might meet Eisenreich at some point as the former Royals outfielder resides in the KC area.)
ATH: You mentioned Piazza's baseball cards. Have you seen any of your cards?
DD: I have seen a few, my Mom usually gets them as soon as they come out.
ATH: What's your favorite TV show?
DD: SportsCenter…other than that, I'm a big fan of Family Guy. I love Stewie for his sarcasm.
ATH: Yeah Stewie's the best…well Danny, thanks for the time and good luck in 2012!
DD: Thanks!

Dreams realized at Royals Alumni Fantasy Camp
Have you ever wanted to take swings against Dennis Leonard, field ground balls with Frank White, or run the bases with Willie Wilson? That's what a group of 70 loyal Royals fans are doing this week at the 2009 Royals Alumni Fantasy Camp in Surprise, Arizona. The whole week is geared to make it just like life in the big leagues—lockers with nameplates, personalized jerseys, practice sessions, games, food, kangaroo court, and of course, the stories from the alumni.
The 2009 camp is wrapping up, but you can plan ahead for 2010. Look for details later this summer on royals.com.
Today, the campers battled the alumni for bragging rights. Here are a few pictures from sunny Surprise.

South Charleston to consider urban deer hunt
SOUTH CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- South Charleston will begin studying the possibility of adopting an urban deer hunt, the mayor announced Thursday night. More than 20 residents attended a meeting earlier Thursday to discuss an "infestation" of deer in the Thousand Oaks community and Weberwood area of the city, said Councilman Jeff Means. "Where I live it's not unusual to look out and see six or eight deer," said Means, who lives on Ashlawn Drive. "The other night, two bucks were hooked up [by their antlers] and woke us up." Residents who attended the meeting, conducted by state Division of Natural Resources officers, showed photos of deer caught in fences and ruined vegetation in yards, Means said. "There's a lot of car accidents and [the deer] are starting to become so domesticated they don't run from people or dogs," he said. About two years ago, residents from the same residential neighborhoods, which border the West Virginia Regional Technology Park and are surrounded by woods, asked the city to look into the deer problem. At the time, Mayor Frank Mullens and Police Chief Brad Rinehart opposed the idea, citing the number of homes in close quarters and few tracts of land large enough for a hunt to take place. However, Mullens said Thursday that something must be done about the overwhelming number of deer. "It will take a lot of thought, and some calls I get oppose it. It's a divisive issue, but we have to take the time to at least discuss it," he said. Mullens has asked Charleston Mayor Danny Jones about the deer hunt in Charleston, which resulted in the death of 93 deer last year, a city record that improved 2010's total of 61. A committee will be formed to study the issue, Mullens said. DNR officials recommended that South Charleston adopt the controlled hunt, he said. "People need to understand sometimes hunting is a much more humane scenario," he said. "I'm not a hunter, but it's better than letting them overpopulate and starve to death." In other business, council passed an ordinance to update the city's personnel policy to set guidelines for city email accounts. Per state law, local governments are required to maintain emails and release them as public information. Firefighters and other city employees came up with the idea to update the policy after attending a seminar on using the Internet responsibly, Mullens said. The city is also working on an ordinance to specify the use of social media guidelines for city employees. Mullens said the proposed changes would serve as an education lesson for employees who may not be aware that some of the things they say online can come back to haunt them.Reach Kate White at firstname.lastname@example.com or 304-348-1723.

The pkgsrc infrastructure consists of a large codebase, and there are many corners where every little bit of a file is well thought out, making pkgsrc likely to fail as soon as anything is changed near those parts. To prevent most changes from breaking anything, a suite of regression tests should go along with every important part of the pkgsrc infrastructure. This chapter describes how regression tests work in pkgsrc and how you can add new tests.
You first need to install the
pkgtools/pkg_regress package, which
provides the pkg_regress command. Then you
can simply run that command, which will run all tests in the
regress category.
Every directory in the
category that contains a file called

that is included by the pkg_regress command.
The following functions can be overridden to suit your
These functions do not take any parameters. They are all called in "set -e" mode, so you should be careful to check the exitcodes of any commands you run in the test.
This function prepares the environment for the test. By default it does nothing.
This function runs the actual test. By default,
it calls
TEST_MAKE with the arguments
MAKEARGS_TEST and writes its output including
error messages into the file
This function is run after the test and is typically used to compare the actual output from the one that is expected. It can make use of the various helper functions from the next section.
This function cleans everything up after the test has been run. By default it does nothing.
This function compares the exitcode of the do_test() function with its first parameter. If they differ, the test will fail.
This function checks for each of its parameters if the output from do_test() matches the extended regular expression. If it does not, the test will fail.
This function checks for each of its parameters if the output from do_test() does not match the extended regular expression. If any of the regular expressions matches, the test will fail.

To all who may be using this configuration (and possibly Sunbird on it's own too)
I had been using this configuration for some time running up against both 6.0.2 FOSS and 6.0.3 FOSS editions with no problems.
I upgraded to 6.0.4 and a couple of days later noticed my calerndars were no longer connecting. The GUI was showing the small warning triangle icon next to the calendar names, and the Thunderbird Error Console was listing an error message in the following format ...
Warning: There has been an error reading data for calendar: Work. However, this error is believed to be minor, so the program will attempt to continue. Error code: DAV_NOT_DAV. Description: The resource at http://<server>/dav/<user>/Work is either not a DAV collection or not available
I tried deleting & recreating the calendar reference multiple times to no avail. It was driving me nuts!
As I had recently upgraded the Lightening plug-in to the official 1.0 Beta 1 I suspected they broke something. So, I rolled back to the old version - still nothing worked. I could not roll back Zimbra 6.0.4 just for my issue so thought I was done for.
Eventually I ran Wireshark on my connection as I started Thunderbird - And VOILA !
91 26.300014 192.168.200.167 192.168.200.9 HTTP/XML PROPFIND /dav/<User>/Calendar/ HTTP/1.1
92 26.302353 192.168.200.167 192.168.200.9 HTTP/XML PROPFIND /dav/<User>/Tasks/ HTTP/1.1
93 26.314123 192.168.200.9 192.168.200.167 HTTP HTTP/1.1 401 invalid username/password
94 26.315490 192.168.200.9 192.168.200.167 HTTP HTTP/1.1 401 invalid username/password
Thunderbird was never asking for a password but yet was failing to authenticate as though I had typed one in. There could only be one reason ...
Password Manager !
I opened up Options --> Security --> Passwords --> Saved Passwords
and clicked on the Show Passwords button.
There I could immediately see the source of my problems. The saved password for
http://myZimbraURL (Zimbra)
under my username was out of date. Now it all made sense, as I had just last week changed my network password.
I highlighted the line, and deleted it.
As soon as I restarted Thunderbird, it prompted me for my username and password for the Calendar connection, and once again offered to store it in Password Manager.
Calendar appointment reminders popped for the meetings I had "missed" over the past few days, and everything is once again working beautifully.
So, bottom line ... In my case at least the Password Manager was the root of the issue. It seems that somehow the Mozilla team has forgotten to prompt for updated userid/password in Lightening after an authentication failure.
For reference I just checked and found a Mozilla Bug has been opened for this issue
If you have a bugzilla login, please go over and vote for this to be fixed.
Note: I also use the Zindus extension - and it prompts me to update the out of date password whenever it fails to connect.
I hope this helps some others avoid the hassles I have had.
And, until they address the issue, remember .... If you change your Zimbra password - immediately go into Password Manager and delete the Zimbra entries

Never have been able to stomach coffee. I use to work construction with my grandpa as "the clean up guy" when I was a kid. On really hot days cleaning up shingle tear offs during the summer I would run out of water sometimes and he would offer up his cold coffee that he made at like 5 that morning. Just ruined it for me! I use to down energy drinks like it was my job but have since stopped drinking those even. I will now have a cappucino here and there but mostly just water and the occasional pop.

Ha. I used to be that way when I worked morning radio. Good times.
Love the smell of coffee but can't stand the taste. Normally just taking a shower will be enough to wake me up.
Mtn Dew is my poison. When I went to Canada this last fall on a fly in for a week I drank coffee for the first time. Needed to do something to get my caffeine up there with the weight restrictions I couldn't bring a supply of dew.

Putting cool in homeschool
Education | From orchestra to mosh pit, non-traditional learners take tradition to a new level
"Putting cool in homeschool" Continued...
Wedged between music stands and backpacks, two dozen students ages 12-18 are practicing for an upcoming radio gig. After the God's Glory chamber ensemble plays a spirited Mozart divertimento, music director Terri Blackwell reminds them to "switch moods" before beginning Gabriel Faure's "Pavane": "Think of the melodic rise and fall we talked about earlier."
The musicians respond, playing with an expressive maturity beyond their age. Next, cellist Amie Blackwell, 15, takes her place at the piano, leading the chamber ensemble in "Distant Memories," a piece Amie wrote and orchestrated herself. When rehearsal is over, some members of God's Glory play volleyball in the gym while others skateboard in the parking lot.
Which school is responsible for the success of the ensemble? None. God's Glory is the pinnacle musical ensemble of the Providence Fine Arts Center, a St. Louis-area cooperative for homeschooling families dedicated to teaching the arts from a Christian worldview.
Providence started 10 years ago when Ms. Blackwell and a couple of other homeschooling moms, fighting the stereotype that homeschool students are isolated, developed a way for their children to practice playing their instruments with other kids. Mothers with backgrounds ranging from home economics to microbiology pooled their talents and volunteered their time to keep costs low.
Providence, still run by mother-teachers, has since grown to 180 students with a three-year waiting list, offering classes for instrumental music, choir, and drama to homeschoolers as young as 4 years old. Its mission: "To provide a fine arts program that will train up children to be excellent in the arts for the purpose of giving glory to God."
Little ones start the program learning the basics of music theory and rhythm from teacher Pam Zigo, who strives "to make their first taste of music fun" with games, simple instruments, and "lots of moving around." Following a classical approach, students learn the foundations of music before learning to play a particular instrument. When they turn 8, students attend a recorder class to put their theory into practice and learn to play as a group. After this, they are ready to pick an instrument and play in an orchestra. The rigorous curriculum builds on itself, rounding out the orchestra experience with music history and improvisational piano.
The program's focus on music theory and classical repertoire encourages students to enjoy more diverse musical styles than the average American Idol fan. "I don't like simplistic music," says Megan Sivcovich, 16. "It's boring." Eric Barfield, 18, agrees: "The theory that I've learned has helped me think that rock songs are so easy." But not everyone is a pure classicist. "I don't really listen to this kind of music, but it's cool because it widens my horizon," says 17-year-old guitarist Jordan Lake, who applies his music theory when he writes music for his own band, No Such Monster.
Presenting the arts from a Christian worldview can be a challenge since much of the current art scene is plagued with nihilism and marked with un-Christian elements, but Providence instructors teach discernment in the arts so that students might be "pure, not naïve." Drama director Karen Carvalho notes that many scripts are distasteful, containing foul language and content inappropriate for both the actors and the audience.
The Providence solution? Select students become drama interns, writing, producing, and directing their own plays. Besides learning how to create original works from a Christian perspective, young playwrights gain firsthand experience leading other students of varying ages. Teachers also pick their plays carefully, choosing the classic The Fiddler on the Roof for last year's culminating project. The musical was so successful that one audience member "forgot (she) was watching kids."
Homeschooling mother and Providence teacher Rhonda Barfield encourages other families to start fine arts co-ops with this advice: Recognize the talent within your circle. While some parents are gifted in music and drama, those with strong organization skills or business savvy are just as valuable. Work with a leadership committee and encourage every parent to be involved at some level.
Ms. Blackwell underscores the importance of Christian worldview: "We've put God first. We decided in the beginning that we were going to serve Him, to pray about everything, and to search His will for what we do."
Both Owen Davis and his daughter Aliyah, 16, have long, dark hair. She favors ripped jeans and big black T-shirts. His jeans have no holes, but he wears a black leather jacket. She's learning to play the electric guitar with plans to lead a band of homeschoolers in head-banging tunes. When he's not keeping time for their church's worship team, goateed Mr. Davis bangs out the back beat in a rock band whose repertoire includes Pink Floyd.
The duo recently took a road trip from Indiana to Milwaukee to see Aliyah's favorite band, Evanescence, perform at a rave. They stood in line for five hours to ensure a place in the front row. While Aliyah rocked away, Mr. Davis grasped the front rail with both hands and girded his 6-foot-3-inch frame around her, protecting her from the crush.
If either of the two was a teenaged dork, it is the public-schooled dad. "I was a social hermit-a marching band geek," said Mr. Davis who, unlike his daughter, didn't come to a saving faith in Christ until college.
Believing that it was "what God wanted us to do," Mr. Davis, a college math instructor, and his wife Dana, a former punk-rocking pastry chef who now works at a Christian bookstore, have homeschooled their children for 12 years. That put them at the forward edge of a movement that encompasses about 2 million children-a six-fold increase since 1994 and growing 15 percent annually.
Often stereotyped as a movement of conservative Christians at the fringe of society, homeschooling is now receiving what amounts to high praise in secular media. Time recently said homeschooling is "diverse" and "gets results." A University of Maryland study, among others, found homeschoolers scored 25 percentiles higher than public-school students on standardized tests and 80 points higher on the SAT.
Aliyah and her brother Noah, 17, increasingly pursue independent study while their younger brother Simeon, 8, benefits from more one-on-one attention with Dana. The children belong to two co-ops that allow them to study a variety of subjects with other children whose parents have expertise in different fields. Mr. Davis, who taught in a public high school for several years, said in comparison public schools are like "factories."
Homeschooling still faces accusations that it deprives children of socialization, but most families are diligent about making sure their children are engaged in a range of activities with other children. Like other homeschoolers, the Davis children play on homeschool sports teams. Aliyah takes music lessons and participated in a city-wide youth chorus. She and Noah are taking classes at the local community college to prepare them to enter Purdue University next fall.
Despite the concern over socialization, studies show that homeschoolers have equal or better social skills than public-schooled peers. A University of Florida researcher found that homeschoolers are more patient, less competitive, less likely to fight, and more likely to introduce themselves to new people and exchange addresses and phone numbers.
During her middle-school years, Aliyah expressed interest in going to public school because she was feeling left out and wanted to be part of a "cool crowd." That's changed since seeing how "mean" high-schoolers can be to each other. "I'd be a little less accepting of people," she said, "and I don't know if people would accept me."
Mrs. Davis is aware of the "uncool" public image some homeschoolers developed by being set apart, but she said it frees children like hers from peer pressure. "They are very much individuals," she said. "If you are an individual in high school, it's looked down upon." As homeschoolers "they can be what they want to be and do what they do best."
The Davises also teach something they say their children would never get in public school-a worldview from a Christian perspective. "They've learned how to look at things critically," Mrs. Davis said.

Yup! I almost clicked the delete button and shut this whole blog down and Blogger taking a vaca gave me time to think about it but also made me wonder if it was a sign lol. I don't like to do anything half-assed and that's exactly what this whole blogging experience is becoming and I DO NOT like it! With balancing this crazy job, maintaining my home & family, and trying to get active in the community again I was just too tired to do more than stalk my usual blogs let alone put up a post of my own.
I've done some pretty fun things recently but missed more than a few other great events because I had to work and for this my blog and networking have suffered but like the Mr said, "This too shall pass" I got into blogging to have fun so when the crazy dies down I can get back to the fun part.
Thank you to those who still check in with me and connect on Twitter I'll be back soon with a better blog, PROMISE!

Gov. Beverly Perdue has declared a state of emergency for 29 eastern North Carolina counties because of dry conditions and raging wildfires.
Those counties are: Robeson, Columbus, Brunswick, Bladen, Cumberland, Harnett, Sampson, Pender, New Hanover, Johnston, Duplin, Onslow, Jones, Carteret, Pamlico, Craven, Lenoir, Wayne, Wilson, Greene, Pitt, Edgecombe, Martin, Beaufort, Washington, Tyrrell, Dare, Hyde and Nash.
Most of the counties included in the declaration are also under a ban on open outdoor burning and are suffering severe drought conditions.
Perdue's Saturday declaration enables the state to seek aid from the federal government and other states in fighting the blazes.
Two large fires are burning in coastal areas, while a number of smaller blazes have popped up in the wake of lightning strikes and dry weather.
Perdue says the state is working with more than 300 federal, local and volunteer fire departments to keep the blazes under control.

The IRS deadline of April 18th is coming soon. File fast, for FREE with TurboTax Federal Free Edition.
Love complications, sticky situations, and trust issues. Yes, here at Audrey, we've come across a fair share of these unfortunate relationship stories from both personal experience and everyday chit-chat with others.
So we started thinking. Wouldn't it be great if there was some sort of magical solution to it all? If there were a product we could purchase and no longer fear our trust issue's worst nightmare? Wouldn't it be great to just be able to have some sort of control over love and trust?
Then we found exactly what we imagined. No, not magic. Apparently, the product we've been looking for is available thanks to science.
Vero Labs brings us Liquid Trust. The website claims,
"Liquid Trust Enhanced has been specially designed to give a boost to the dating and relationship area of your life. This upgraded formula still contains the same great Oxytocin formula, but now includes the powerful pheromones Androstenone and Androsterone.
Apparently the formula is laced with oxytocin- a hormone our body naturally creates. The idea is that the hormone promotes social interaction. Oxytocin is produced in the brain's hypothalamus, which regulates emotion and is believed to be key in pair-bonding.
The website claims "Without realizing why, the people around you have a strong feeling of trust. They can't explain it, but you know that Liquid Trust is doing its magic!"
Skeptical? Suspicious? We certainly are. But like us, Thought Catalog's Mélanie Berliet was filled with curiosity. After ordering a bottle herself, her results were what we expected: inconclusive.
Did Liquid Trust really help her get a deal on new shoes and have a great night in with her boyfriend? Or was the spray simply implementing a placebo effect and giving her the confidence to do these things? We may never know- the bottle ended up in the trash after all.
A product like this can create a whole world of progress. Berliet points out that it can "help those afflicted with social phobias, autism or Williams syndrome, a rare genetic disorder that leads children to approach strangers indiscriminately." But on the other hand, it has commercial exploitation written all over it.
With the experiment behind her and the bottle in the trash, Berliet realized that even if the spray did work, do we really want to alter someones internal chemistry and redirect their emotions so inorganically?
We're gonna go ahead and stick to the old-fashioned way.

MSD Electronic Distributor - Ignition InstallationWritten by David Freiburger on November 1, 1998
Now that you've read the "Ignition Box Comparo" story, you may just have the Itch to Hang one on your ride.
Most of the aftermarket upgrades can be described generically as an ignition installation basically the same way, and can be made to work on pretty much any engine with a distributor. Most of the manufacturers have the ignition installation down to a plug-on proposition by offering specific wiring adapters for all the popular OE ignition types. Beyond that, ignition installation varies depending on the features built into the unit. Here we'll show you some of the features tied into the all-new MSD Digital-6 Plus, a Car Craft scoop on a product that will be introduced in November '98.
Electronic Distributor? Why Digital?
What's the big deal? For today's ignition manufacturers, "digital" is the hot sell-word. In MSD's case, the digital versions include a high-speed RISC (Reduced Instruction Set Code) microcontroller, unlike the analog units like the MSD 6A. The digital components are much smaller, so more features can be packed into a box of the same size, and the circuitry is more accurate and reliable. However, the power side of the MSD is still capacitive discharge. That means electrical energy is stored inside the MSD, then quickly forced into the coil for each spark. The result is a nastier spark. Another bonus is faster cycling and a longer duration spark. The MSD releases a series of sparks per plug firing below about 3,300 rpm-above that engine speed there is only one full-power spark. Also, the Digital-6 has more power than the 6A, with 520-535 volts to the coil and 135 millijoules of spark energy.
Wiring Wherewithal
It'll speed your ignition installation a ton if you understand what each wire from the electronic distributor ignition box does. While colors change from manufacturer to manufacturer, and options also vary, the function of each wire on the new MSD are pretty similar to those of other ignitions.
A. Power leads: One red and one black 12-gauge wire hook directly to the battery. Because the MSD electronic distributor draws power right from the battery, you don't need to remove OE ballast resistors or resistor wires in the stock wiring harness.
B. Red: Connect this to a wire that's hot when the key is turned to the "ON" position (for example, the wire that was originally on the positive side of the coil). The red wire turns the MSD on and off.
C. Orange and Black: This orange wire is the only wire that will be attached to the positive side of the coil when the installation is done, and the black is the only wire that will be on the negative side.
D. Violet and Green: These wires go to the mag pick-up connector from an electronic distributor-the MSD includes a harness to plug these directly into an MSD distributor, and no other amplifier is needed. Violet is positive, green is negative. When the violet and green wires are connected, do not use the white wire.
E. White: Just as the violet and green wires tell the MSD when to fire based on input from an electronic distributor, the white wire is the trigger wire for use with points or an OE-style electronic ignition amplifier. When the white wire is used, never hook up the violet and green wires.
F. Blue: This activates the two-step rev limiter. When 12 volts are applied to this wire, the low-rpm rev limiter is activated. It's usually hooked to the Line/Loc circuit. When this wire is not triggered, the high-rpm rev limiter is active.
G. Pink: When 12 volts are present at this wire, the single-step timing retard is activated. This is usually triggered by the same power wire that turns on the nitrous solenoids or a Hobbs switch that's tapped into boost pressure.
F. Green loop: The MSD Digital-6 comes prepped for use with GM or MSD crank triggers. If an MSD distributor or Ford distributor is used, this wire needs to be cut and sealed.
Extra Stuff You'll Need
Any schmoe can install a hot ignition on a musclecar-era street machine in about an hour. Add 15 minutes per model year for every year newer than '75. That can add up to a day's worth of hassle on a late-model car, with much of the time spent finding a place to mount the box. Regardless of the car type, have the following on hand to minimize aggravation:
• Normal handtools
• A drill and bit selection; the MSD electronic distributor re-quires an 1/8-inch bit, or 3/16 if you're using the included rubber feet.
• A test light, or preferably a volt/ohm meter to find the hot wires.
• Spare wiring supplies, including nonin-sulated connectors, shrink-wrap tubing, electrical tape, adel clamps, grommets, and wire ties. To lengthen any wire from the ignition box you should usually use wire one size bigger. So if the wire is 12-gauge, use 10-gauge.
• Soldering gun and solder. Opinions differ, but we prefer soldering and heat-shrinking to crimp-connectors any day.
• If your underhood area is short on flat spaces to mount the box, you may need to fabricate a custom mounting bracket with hardware store sheet-metal.
• Aftermarket ignition may require an adapter to make the tachs operate properly on some cars. Read the instructions before you start the installation so you can find out everything you need.

In the "Ignition Box Comparo" story we listed the true sizes of all the popular ignition boxes-that's important because smaller is better for ease of installation. The new MSD Digital-6 Plus measures 4 1/2x8 1/2x2.2; the old-style 6A is 8x4x2A big benefit to digital technology is that smaller internal components allow more features crammed into the box. The Digital-6 Plus has a built-in two-step rev limiter (one for staging, one for high-rpm limit), a single-stage of spark retard (especially helpful for nitrous), and a start retard (which, when activated, retards timing 20 degrees when the engine is below 500 rpm for easy starting). Each of these functions is adjustable with switches located in the end of the unit.One of the most important things for any ignition is to keep it cool so it will live longer. The MSD can be mounted most anywhere in the engine compartment as long as its not near the exhaust. Perhaps the best option is to hang it on the radiator support to ensure lots of airflow, and we're not opposed to rattle-canning an ignition black for stealth. The MSD is fully potted, so it can resist water. With the Digital-6 Plus, mounting with the adjusting switches accessible is a concern.It's also popular to mount ignition boxes under the dash and out of sight. If you opt for that, make sure to use a grommet to protect any wires as they pass through the firewall (arrow).This shows the plug-in installation of the Digital-6 into an MSD distributor. It also demonstrates that the mag-pickup wires from the distributor and to the MSD should be twisted together to further shield them from sources of electronic interference. Keep the ignition wires away from spark-plug wires too, and run the mag-pickup wires along a large ground plane whenever possible. The MSD, along with many other aftermarket ignitions, cannot be used with solid-core or nonresistor plug wires.


text: So I'm fairly new to this forum, but definitely like what I've seen so far. One thing I am looking for, however, is some information on writing scripts for FT Pro. I've fiddled around with them a bit, but don't seem to be getting the results I've been looking for. It would be great to see a bit of discussion about this subject whenever anyone has some time to explore it.

1923 Ford Model T Modified - Bare BeginningsWritten by on December 1, 2007 Wall Art No More
Hot rods all have to start somewhere. Some of us start our new project when we pick up a long-forgotten relic, others find someone else's unfinished project and breathe new life into it, and another group of rodders starts with almost nothing. Tim Van Pelt's T modified started right at the front.
"When I was 12 years old, I was at a swap meet with my dad and bought the T radiator shell that's on the car now," Tim said. "The seller was asking $15, but I only had three or four dollars, so the seller came down to $10 and my dad chipped in the rest. I hung the shell on my bedroom wall. I never thought I'd build a car around a grille shell."
Tim and his dad built a couple of hot rods while Tim was in high school. At 14, Tim bought a '49 Chevy and swapped in a 235 straight-six with a Fenton cast header and aluminum intake. It didn't prove to be as reliable as he wanted, so he started on a '47 Ford coupe. This time he went with a 327 small-block and Turbo 350, but he stayed with a straight-axle up front. Tim still has the '47 and is planning to treat it to a body-off rebuild someday.
When it came time to build the next project, Tim decided to do something with the old shell that had been hanging on the wall. He found a '26 T touring body on a ranch in South Dakota for $100. It was fairly straight, had all four doors and the dash, and the rot was confined to the sills. He gathered some of the other parts he'd been hoarding, along with some recycled parts from his '47 build, and started laying out the modified. "I started out cutting the touring body in half and then tracing the bottom of the body onto a sheet of plywood. I then cut my 2x3 steel to this shape to begin the frame. I tack-welded pieces together, wired parts on, and propped parts on 2x4 blocks of wood until I got the look I wanted," Tim explained.
As fun as the T is, Tim told us that one of the best parts of the build was working with his young sons out in the garage. As I said at the beginning, hot rods all start somewhere, and the Van Pelt boys now have their start.
Rod & Custom Feature Car

1923 Ford modified
Tim started from the bottom up and designed and built the frame for his modified out of 2x3 steel. He pie-cut it at the firewall and shortened a '26 T rear crossmember to get it low, kicking it up in the rear with V-8-shaped fish plates for strength. The front crossmember has been C-notched to clear the lower radiator hose. The front suspension consists of a '30s-era Dodge double-dip tube axle with bungs welded on for the split '35 Ford wishbones and custom brackets for the Dodge leaf springs, which have been cut in half. An F-1 'box and owner-built Pitman arm handle the steering, and '47 Ford spindles with '40 brakes do their part to stop it. A '39 Ford axle with a Wilson Welding Speed Demon quick-change hangs out in the open in back, with a '26 T spring and '39 Ford 'bones. Mr. Roadster friction shocks handle the bumps at both ends.
This modified wouldn't have looked right with anything but a Flathead sitting behind the Walker brass radiator, so Tim had Denny Price assemble the '52 8BA with a basically stock short-block and added an Isky Max 1 cam and Offenhauser aluminum heads and intake topped with two 94s. Speedway Motors provided the Tru-Helmet air cleaners, electronic ignition with cloth-covered wires, and header kit (owner-built). A Ford C4 auto trans is shifted with a Gennie Shifter swan-neck handle.
Wheels & Tires
It's hard to beat '35 Ford 16-inch wires on a modified. The fronts are stock, but the rears were widened 2 1/2 inches. Firestone rubber (4.50s and 7.00s) was really the only choice.
Body & Paint
The body started out as the front half of a '26 touring and has now been treated to a filled cowl, smoothed firewall, steel floors and trans tunnel, and a custom lower pan on the back of the body. The Ford script on the back is from a '47 Ford pickup. Gene Jobgen at A&A Restoration in Rapid City, South Dakota, was put in charge of getting the body in shape before Bruce Rall shot it with PPG Red Oxide primer. The headlights are early '28 Ford Model ARs mounted on stands made from a cut-down Model A headlight bar.
The interior is about as bare-bones as you're going to find. The owner-built seat sits on a lowered seat riser. The '40 Ford dash was narrowed 7 inches (basically right through the speaker grille) and pie-cut on the ends to fit the T body. The LimeWorks four-spoke wheel sits atop an owner-built column.

Jacksonville City Council candidates were sent the following questions by The Daily News in advance of the Nov. 5 municipal election. Candidate profiles were edited for length in The Daily News� print edition. This is the full, unedited written response by one of five candidates: Three are vying for two at-large seats and two are pursuing one Ward 2 seat.
Name: Jerry A. Bittner
Office you are seeking: Jacksonville City Council Ward 2
Address: 1030 Commons Drive North, Jacksonville, NC
Date of birth: December 11. 1937
City of birth: Glassport, Pa
County of birth: Allegheny
How voters can contact you: email@example.com; 910 455-0354
Occupation: Retired City Manager, PT Adjunct Professor, Webster U., Camp Lejeune Campus
Education: AB Fort Hays Kansas State; Masters Governmental Administration, Wharton School, U. of Pennsylvania
Prior publicly elected, appointed or held positions: City Council 10 yrs.; city manager, 1987-99
Leadership experience: Mayor-Pro-Tem 3 years; President Rotary Club, President NJ Municipal Management Association
How long have you live in the municipality for which you seek office? 26 years
Why are you running for office? A commitment to public service.
What makes you the best candidate for the position? Experienced, dedicated and a reputation for listening to people and involving them in their government. I�m proud that I have used my background in City service to continue to benefit our Citizens to make Jacksonville a great place to live and work.
What specific issue would you most like to address while in office? Our government must, without raising taxes, deal with the uncertainties of a reduction in our military � based economy and a loss of sales-tax revenue. We must continue and intensify our commitment to the three E�s of governance: efficiencies, effectiveness and economies.
What is your stance on raising property tax in the next fiscal year? I won�t promise I will never raise taxes, but I will promise that it will only be done as a last resort to other options, including reducing services and then only after the public is given every opportunity to voice their views. A flat �no-tax increase� promise denies the will of the people who ask for the services the City offers. I demonstrated my position after loss of $2.4 million in sales tax for the current year�s budget. My leadership was demonstrated in that we managed a solution without a tax increase, despite this devastating loss.
What would you like to see happen in downtown Jacksonville as far as revitalization? We have done a good job following the recommendations of the citizen-created Downtown Master Plan. Specifically partnering with developers and businesses in the downtown area has found great success. The City helps with demolition, partnerships and collaboration that benefits the private partner whose projects advance the downtown. I like this model and it has led to reversing years of economic decline in the area.

So, let's assume I use a laptop and I'm a big fan of Zimbra. I run into trouble with my ability to access the internet while I'm away from any decent Wi-Fi hotspots and my UMTS/EVDO coverage is non-existant.
Does this mean that I can not access my email or contacts at all? I'd like offline support so that I can ensure that I never lose the ability to pull up my calendar or contacts.

Columbia, SC (WLTX)- The South Carolina Hospitality Association says it's naming a new president at a news conference today.
Former president, Tom Sponseller, committed suicide in February. In a suicide note, Sponseller said he was despondent after discovering that the association's accounting director had embezzled hundreds of thousands of dollars from the group.
Rachel Duncan was sentenced to two and a half years in federal prison after pleading guilty to tax evasion and wire fraud charges. Authorities have drawn no link between Sponseller and the missing money.

Born: 10/30/1960
Birth Place: Brooklyn, New York, USA
Before finding his true vocation, LaGravenese studied acting and experimental theater at New York University. He went on to try his hand on the nightclub circuit as half of a short-lived comedy team. In addition to holding down such jobs as bartender and street vendor, the struggling actor helped make ends meet by writing monologues for other thespians. He segued to films as a co-writer on the mild social comedy "Rude Awakening" (1989).LaGravenese received extraordinary notices for his adaptation of Robert James Waller's amazingly popular novel, "The Bridges of Madison County". Most reviewers derided the merits of the source material while marveling at the transformation wrought by the scree...

As Mountain bikes continue to become more diverse, obviously components must evolve. New Shimano Deore XT addresses the various needs of today's riders. Together with double rear derailleur "Shimano Shadow RD" was specially designed for all mountain riding. Together with double-servo-panta mechanism derailleurs now, you have the right choices for several off road styles. New XT disc brake with a new level of performance and controllability, features high power braking. "Engineered for the way you ride". With the same concept as XTR, new Deore XT is born.
The Shimano XT M772 has a low profile design intended for more aggressive riding. Quiet : will not contact chain stay. Super low profile design carries many benefits. Because of its low profile and single tension construction, no hit to chain stay in rough riding conditions.The result is smooth and silent performance.
Shimano XT M772 Shadow Rear Derailleur features a low profile for improved durability (low profile design saves RD from damage in a narrow passage), direct routing to reduce the risk of snagging, and a stronger return spring for more crisp shifting feeling.

I've been through two of these rear derailleurs.... First one was taken out by a stick on an over grown trail... Broke in an unserviceable area.... Bought a replacement here.... Rode three times, went out for a trail ride and got about 30ft and broke the second one.... Broke in an entirely different spot, and still to this day I have no idea what caused it.... Very disappointed that I will have to spend another $100 to replace the same part again... Wish I could upgrade without replacing my entire drivetrain....
I upgraded my first (2003) MTB as I wore out the lower-end spec parts, to XT, in the mid-2000s. Through that bike, and a new one, I've always used XT rear-ds with no problems (if you bend them too often, they'll stop being happy, but that's not a problem with the product). I got a great deal on the Shadow version last year, put it on, have continued to be nothing but happy with it, and although I haven't noticed a difference in chain slap (I've had Lizard Skin stay protectors all along so may not notice either way), it certainly just works great, as usual.
Very durable holds well in mountainous terrains. Solid and precise shifting.
Shimano fans, XT is the best for durability and price. I've tried all the lower level of derailleurs and found XT to have the longest service life.
It is hard to beat the XT level of Shimano components. The shadow has worked well for me and I have had no problems with it. A great buy if you need a rear derailleur.
My 5-ish year old XT derailleur finally broke. I bought this one because I've had good luck with XT rear deraileurs...good performance & durability for the price. But this one doesn't shift nearly as well as my old one did. I've had it long enough for everything to break in, and I adjust it constantly, but I still have to click twice to get one gear.
This derailleur came as original equipment on my Giant mountain bike. It was working great for a couple years when it got ripped off the bike by a hidden tree stump. Bought another one and it's working great too. Keeping an eye out for the tree stumps!
This rear der really impress me. Since I am using XT shadows my problems whit gear changing finishes, even in hard conditions. Having a reliable drive train saves you mind to focus in the trail and makes your performance increase and is starts with a strong and precise rear derailleur. If you can have it for a just price, better. So your choice must be XT.
I bought this derailleur to complete my full-XT drive train. I had an SLX and this made a noticeable difference. The finish is beautiful and there is no match for the XT silence that comes from eliminating chain slap on rough rides. It shifts crisply and is easily fine-tuned. I installed and dialed it in myself in less than 20 minutes. Highly recommended.
I've had these derailleurs on several different bikes and always loved them. I honestly don't think I've ever had an issue with the XT other than the occasional tune-up. Upgraded my teenagers bikes to the XT so I wouldn't hear any more whinning about shifting issues while out on the trail. Worth the money!
Silent and precise shifting, light weight, a solid performer and one of the best rear derailleurs on the market
High end performance at a great value. Precision shifting, lightweight, sleek look and easy to install.

1949 Ford Wheelwell Fabrication - Major Changes With Mini TubsWritten by on September 15, 2008 Contributors: Paul Kris, Jack Stratton Making Custom Wheelwells Using Ron Covell's Tank-Roll Mandrels
The age of mini tubs is well past its heyday, but there are still quite a few instances when the wheelwells of a rod or custom need to be modified or re-fabricated completely. At Roy Brizio Street Rods, for instance, we have widened the wells on a few '30s Fords in order to cram a body between 10-inch-wide Halibrand wheels, and we frequently widen the wells on late '30-40 Fords at the front where the tires tend to rub.
This project, however, is a bit more complicated. Brizio had Art Morrison design and fabricate a custom chassis for this '49 Ford, which called for the rear framerails to be kicked up 2 inches and narrowed 4 inches to accommodate a lower stance with wider wheels and tires. As a consequence, we had to discard the entire rear floor of the original Ford, including the wheelwells.
When it came to designing new tubs, we decided we didn't want them to look boxy and "fabricated" as they often do with square corners and edges, so we called up Ron Covell and ordered a set of his 1-inch-radius "tank-roll" mandrels. These mandrels are compatible with Roy's old Pexto bead roller, and they're rather simple to use, so we figured they would be a good addition to our tool collection.
While the dimensions of the Morrison frame and the stock Ford quarter-panels dictated how wide our new wheelwells would be, we also needed to determine exactly how tall our rear tires would be before we began fabrication. For this project, Roy expects to use a tire about 29 inches in diameter, so the length and height of the well were designed accordingly.
Besides the basic fabricating techniques used to make these wheeltubs, the only unique part of a job like this is the operation of the tank-roll dies. If you choose to use them for a project, we recommend trying a few test panels first to get used to the force and pressure needed to keep a curved panel steady in the roller. It's fairly easy once you get the hang of it, and these mandrels provide a great way to improve both the strength and aesthetics of any project.

Before we started fabricating the wheeltubs, we finished installing the floors and completed any metalwork necessary on the quarter-panels. Although it's not absolutely necessary, it helps to have the rearend installed. This establishes an exact center point for the wheelwells, and makes it easier to determine how tall the well needs to be, as we will show.Although the stock Ford wheelwell is far too narrow, the rest of the dimensions work fine for a tall tire. We are basing our clearance on a 30-inch tire, and this tub is exactly 36 inches long, leaving us 3 inches of clearance, both front and back.We used the stock well to determine the front and rear mounting points of our new tub and marked the original locations on our new floor. If we didn't have the original tub, we could just measure from the center of the wheelhub and make a mark 18 inches, front and back. Our marks were exactly 36 inches apart, and the wheelhub lies dead center at 18 inches.With our basic dimensions figured out, we started by making a template for the inner panel of the wheelwell. We first marked and cut our overall length to 36 inches. The inner panel of the well will eventually be welded to the floor of the trunk, right at the outside of the framerail, so we marked our template accordingly. We lined up the template between our front and rear marks on the floor and placed it against the outside of the frame, and left plenty of excess for the top of the well.This line represents the bottom of our inner well. Notice we had to notch the template to clear the axle and hub; this notch doesn't have to be precise since the lower half of the template will be discarded.We then cut the template along the floor line and taped it to a piece of 16-gauge sheetmetal, marking the floor line on the metal and making sure we left plenty of excess material for the height of the tub since we haven't determined how tall it will be yet. Since our inner panel will be large, we opted to cut it with power shears. You could use tin snips, a large bandsaw, or even a cutoff wheel.We will be taking the tub in and out frequently, so we mocked our inner panel in place and made a few marks to make sure the panel lines up in the same spot each time. Note that though the panel is exactly 36 inches long, there is plenty of extra material at the top so we can make the tub as tall as necessary. If you're planning on lowering the rear of the car considerably, your tub might end up being much taller than the original.We "bottomed out" the rearend by jacking it up to the frame snubbers to figure out exactly how tall our tub needed to be. We need to make sure that 18 inches of height is sufficient so we can make a perfectly round tub. We then measured 18 inches straight up into the wheelwell from the axle center line and marked our inner panel. This will give us 3 inches of tire clearance if the rear end bottomed out with a 30-inch-diameter tire.After double-checking our mark, which happened to be 9 1/4 inches above the peak of the trunk floor, we were ready to determine the radius of the wheeltub. We secured the inner panel to a flat table and made a mark on the table 18 inches below the mark that determined the top of our new well. This mark will be the fulcrum of our radius.
In addition to being exactly 18 inches below the top of the tub, the fulcrum point also needs to be centered between the front and rear of the tub, which we have already determined to be 18 inches, since the total distance is 36 inches. We used a piece of string, some tape, and a pen to make our radius. Obviously, the piece of string needs to be exactly 18 inches long between the tape and the pen tip. We taped one end of the string to our fulcrum point and marked the new wheeltub radius on our inner tub panel.Once our radius was determined and marked out, we cut our inner panel on a bandsaw. Using our marks to line up the panel, we now have an idea of how the wheelwell will look. Both ends lined up with our marks, and we know the top will provide plenty of clearance for our tire.With the inner panel completely cut out, we turned our attention to rolling the edge. Since this panel is large, we welded in a brace to help keep its shape. We want to be sure to maintain 90-degree angles between the floor, side, and top of the well. Although it's not necessary, I usually shrink the edges of a piece before running it through the tank-roll dies. The dies stretch the sheetmetal and warp the metal slightly, so in theory, this helps prevent some of that warpage by pre-shrinking the sheetmetal.We then rolled the edge of inner panel. These mandrels provide a 1-inch radius once you mate up both pieces of sheetmetal. They are designed by Ron Covell to fit Pexto and other bead-rollers with 15/16-inch shafts. As with any bead-roller mandrels, make many passes and tighten the mandrels slightly each time. With the tank-roll dies, make sure to keep plenty of pressure against the inner lip of the dies so the sheetmetal doesn't slip out or "walk."This is the roll we ended up with using the 1-inch radius dies. It doesn't look like much, but the radius is quite sufficient once it is matched to another piece with the same roll. As we continued to roll the edge of our panel, we checked it against a flat table often to make sure we weren't warping it significantly.With the tank-roll complete, we mocked in the inner panel, lined it up with our marks, and made sure it was perpendicular to the trunk floor. We then measured across the top to see how wide we needed to make our tubs. These turned out to be exactly 12 inches wide, leaving about a half-inch of clearance between the outer tub and the quarter-panel.Since the top of the wheeltub is so large, we decided to make it in two pieces, making a seam at the center top of the tub. We determined our dimensions by measuring along the radius of the inner panel. Each piece of this tub will be 28 inches long by 12 inches wide. These pieces needed to match the radius of the inner well, so we rolled them out on a slip roll and checked them against the vertical piece often until they matched.Once the radius was correct, we rolled both edges of our tub top halves by tightening the mandrels little by little during each pass, and making sure to keep the inside edge tight against the inner lip of the mandrels. You'll notice the structural benefit of rolling the edges of these tubs at this point: This is now a very stout piece. We then repeated the process and made the second half of the tub top.Depending on your application, you may or may not need an outer panel for your wheeltubs. The top portions of the wells on some cars simply butt up against the quarter-panel. We are fabricating an outer panel that will be welded to the lip of the wheel opening on this car, so we traced out the radius for our outer panel using the inner as a template, making sure to leave plenty of excess material at the bottom.
Before welding our tub halves together, we needed to smooth out any wrinkles or inconsistencies in the rolled edges. We made this round-bar dolly out of thick tubing.With the dolly clamped in a vise, we quickly hammered each edge. The fit of each piece to the other is crucial in achieving a smooth final radius.With the rolled edges finished, the individual pieces of the tubs were ready to be tacked together. Maneuvering these large panels was slightly difficult, so we clamped the inner panel to our welding table. With the top lined up with the center mark at the top of the inner panel, we tacked the pieces together. This is where a good roll and plenty of finish-hammering pays off with a nice seam. Once the first top half was tacked in place, we continued with the second half, making sure the tops of the tub were perpendicular to the side of the well the whole time.At this point, we fine-tuned a few areas with our homemade dolly. This is 16-gauge sheetmetal, so it takes a little bit of force to move it around.After we tacked the top pieces to the inner well, we tacked in the outer wall, as well. With everything roughed together, we finally had something that looked like a wheelwell. Once again, we mocked in the new tub to make sure everything fit. We had plenty of clearance to the quarter-panel, and our well was centered over the axle. We made sure the well was perfectly square in the car by placing a small level on top before fitting the outer panel to the wheel opening in the quarter-panel.The excess material of our outer well needed to be cut to match the wheel opening. After marking the wheel opening on the panel, we simply tipped the well down and made our cut with the well in the car.The quarter-panel on a shoebox Ford curves in considerably at the front bottom edge of the wheel opening, so we had to accommodate for the unique shape. We were able to create an angle in the panel that better matched the shape of the quarter-panel by marking and cutting the outer panel. A little bit of hammering and a few tacks later, and our outer panel matched the wheel opening perfectly.With all of our panels completed and tacked together, we removed the tub from the car and welded up all of our seams. The rolled edges finally looked complete after a little bit of grinding. We re-installed the tub for the final time, squared it up, and tacked the inner well to the trunk floor.

I've been an admirer of Zimbra for sometime but thought my company would never go for it as we would have to revamp the way we work. It was only after an afteroffice.com salesman came to do this presentation that everyone saw the greatness of having such a system instead of just downloading individual emails via pop3 to our ms outlook.

Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, who went platinum with their album The Heist this year, are slated to go on a hiatus. The duo's manager, Zach Quillen, said that Mack and Lewis are going to "take some time off" following the Grammy Awards in 2014.
"Yeah, we're gonna disappear for a little while," Quillen said in an interview with xxlmag.com. "This album cycle is coming to a close. We'll, I imagine, go to the Grammys in January this year and afterwards, kind of call it quits for a bit and take some time off."
The year was a significant one for Macklemore & Ryan Lewis. After releasing their album The Heist in 2012, the duo gained notoriety in 2013 with singles "Thrift Shop," "Can't Hold Us," "Same Love" and "White Walls." The album also surpassed the million copy milestone in sales this year.
Quillen said the duo will begin work on a new album in 2014, but added that they are "in no rush."
Macklemore & Ryan Lewis have been in various award shows this year, including MTV's Video Music Awards, where the duo performed and won awards, including "Best Hip Hop Video." The duo also participated in the first-ever YouTube Awards this year. Mack & Lewis are nominated for the upcoming AMAs, as well.
In 2012, Macklemore spoke with HipHopDX about his career and legacy before releasing The Heist.
"I want to be remembered as somebody that put honesty first, that put vulnerability first, that said things he was scared to say, that I was scared to say," Macklemore said in an exclusive interview with HipHopDX. "And somebody that really put on for the Northwest and put on for Seattle. I think that the music is much bigger than myself, and it comes from a place bigger than myself. And I don't ever want to take credit for that. That is a force beyond me. I think I'm a part of something that is greater. And I want to use that to the best of my ability to write honest, personal and sincere music that has an impact on people."
After The Heist's release, Ryan Lewis spoke with HipHopDX about the project and the process of its creation.
"What was cool about The Heist was that it was a unique process for a lot of reasons," he said. "We spent three years on it. That in and of itself is unusual, particularly for the Hip Hop genre because people are just cranking out records. We spent a long time on all those songs. It was a record that had so much collaboration involved from the amount of features that were doing hooks and the vocals on there to the variety of instruments...I think spending that much time on a record enabled me to pursue a wide variety of ideas."

Then that makes your work all the more fascinating. Someone someday will do their doctoral thesis on the semiotics of Clay, but not me. I still need a weatherman to know the way the wind blows.
Wow, your work is so beautiful Judith!!!
@Geoffrey: oh, thanks so much for saying that. I feel much better now. I thought it meant that I'm stupid ;-)
Dear Sharon: I really appreciate your kind words! Thanks so much!
Absolutely gorgeous work, Judith! I love the red of her coat against the cool tones. The mood is palpable... so moving. The raindrops just send this piece over the top. I am in awe.
I was just biding time until Jacqueline weighed in so I could write "what she said!"
So happy you like the red, Jacqueline! That's my newest pastel stick acquisition and I can't get enough of it. I did the raindrops with white ink and a brush, an experiment from a while back. Thanks for the lovely feedback!
You are the greatest, Geoffrey!!! :-D
Oh das mag ich ganz besonders! Das Rot des Mantels gefällt mir supergut, die Regentropfen, die ganze Atmosphäre, die das Bild vermittelt finde ich toll gelungen! Stimmt mich irgendwie herbstlich ein. Der Fisch unterm Arm ist klasse! :-)
:) @ Geoffrey. I could really write at length about Judith's work . I see so much meaning in each piece and it is such a joyful challenge to (attempt to) interpret it.
And thanks, for sharing the raindrop technique - I was trying to figure out how you managed to do that!
Hallo Angela: ja, das Rot ist eine neue Pastellkreide. Normalerweise verwende ich ja rot nicht so oft, aber das hier gefällt mir sehr. Schön, dass Dich das Bild herbstlich stimmt. Ich liebe den Herbst (und den Winter). Danke für Deinen tollen Kommentar!
I adore you art dear Judith....so much detail and each piece tells a story. Love the hair! beautiful as always xxx
@Jacqueline: I'm always amazed at how you interpret my pictures! I just sit down and draw them :-) Thanks for always taking the time to write such thoughtful comments!
Hello, ingz! Great to see you and thanks ever so much for the kind comment!
so so wonderful!
Thanks a lot, Sharon!
Erinnert mich irgendwie an einen herbstlichen Tag im Hamburger Hafen. Sehr schöööön! Liebe Grüße!
@Jacqueline, I completely agree and I look forward to reading more from you on that score. No need to involve that pesky Freud with all his hang-ups and wild theories. I only wish my dreams looked as gorgeous as Judith's work.
Na das freut mich aber, Steffi! Am Hamburger Hafen war ich auch schon mal, und da war es sehr schön! Liebe Grüße auch an Dich!
@Geoffrey and Jacqueline: I guess I'll just lean back, put up my feet and wait for that 500 page thesis on my work written by Jacqueline and approved by Geoffrey :-D
First of all Judith, this is gorgeous! I too love the red coat and the rain! Oh, and the fish! Did anyone mention the fish yet? I'll bet that's symbolic of "plenty". So she's going on a long voyage, but will not be hungry while she travels or when she gets there. (My daughter just walked in and happily recognized your work from the ones I just framed btw. Recognition is high praise from a young teen.) Seriously, it's all been said beautifully, so I'll just add that I love it!
Hey, Meg! Really great to see you, and thanks for taking the time to write such a great comment! I figured you'd like the fish ;-) And I like your interpretation... and wow on the recognition compliment from your daughter!!! That means a lot! Wish you a great week!
Wow. I love this. It is my current favorite of yours.
Oh, that's high praise coming from you, Cathie! Thank you!!!
Haha, am I the only one who wants to see that she is going to set the fish free ;-)? Judith, this is such a marvelous new work!!! I love the colours and all the terrific details so much! xx
Yes, Iris, I think you are! But that's okay; I love your idea! She's down at the harbor to let the fish go :-D So happy you like the picture, Iris!
I love the fairy tale life you create in your art! This is delightful! She's bigger than life itself...carrying her fish on the water's edge with her big hair!! Awww, so cute! ♥
Each new work becomes my new fave! :) love it!
so wonderful judith!
wonderful! I love the mood you've created.
judith, you're so awesome! love it!.
Beautifully done. Love how you choose colors and clothing for your characters. The chestnut hair and red coat are gorgeous. She is also quite tall judging from the boat!
LOVE it so very much!

THANK you, rusanovska :-)
Thank you, f_e_l_i_x_x!
So moody and evocative. Love this.
i've rarely seen the like of your imagination..these pictures are all masterpieces..
Thank you so much, basicneed! They really all are just the result of over ten years of working hard on my art, and collecting drawers full of bad drawings ;-)
I really like the childlike and surreal quality of your work :-)
Really appreciate your feedback, Arhia! Thank you!
Very happy you like it, bri.buckley! Thanks so much!
Judith, your works are astounding! Do you have any originals for sale? It would be such an honor to own any of them!
Hello oana123, and thanks for the lovely comment. Yes, I do sell originals. Are you interested in a specific one?
Oh, this is really exciting! Yes, I am interested especially in this one (At the harbor), also The White Duck, and The little mermaid (1).
The original of At the Harbor has already been sold. The Little Mermaid is still at an exhibit in Estonia, but will come back to me sometime in February. The White Duck I have available and at my home right now.
That's fantastic! I was wondering if we could continue from here in a private conversation setting...
Do you have e-mail?
Yes. I am a bit uneasy to post it on this public forum...
Are you on Facebook? If yes, you can go to my "about" section here on Society6 under my profile picture, you'll find my Facebook link there and send me a message through Facebook.
I am so sorry, I am not on Facebook...
That's okay. Don't worry about it :-)
Judith, I'll try tonight to access Facebook later today!
Sounds good!
Hello Judith, I sent you a message through Facebook; I believe it went to your "other" box.
Thank you! Already got it and sent you an e-mail!
Thank you so much. I really appreciate it!
Love your work!!! Fab
Wow. Your art is gorgeous.
I LOVE you work.
Thanks so much, Zach. I really appreciate your words.
Thank you, Tojophoto and zawij. I apologize for the very late reply :-)

I spent the last few minutes trying to think of a clever title that had some sort of cloud pun in it...then realized that it's like booking an opening act for Frank Sinatra.
You don't need it. Cut to the headliner and go for it. So here goes:
If you are a communications service provider (CSP), you are going to want to check out the latest solution to come out of our Cloud Computing group.
IBM Enables Communications Service Providers To Capture New Cloud Services Market Opportunity (press release) talks about the new solution that helps our customers address public cloud services.
What I love about this solution, and I'm going to quote from the press release, "...quickly and cost-effectively enable hundreds or even thousands of new services and use an integrated cloud service management platform to create, deliver and manage those services."
This is another real-world (purchasable) example of the type of game-changing solutions that could not be solved without a comprehensive service management strategy like the one IBM has with Integrated Service Management.
There's more information about this particular release for the CSP solution on the press release and customers from all industries can visit the Cloud Computing website for more information on all of our cloud computing solutions.
If you want to sit down with someone to discuss this or other solutions, you can contact your IBM sales rep and/or Business Partner (Business Partner Locator Site) and have them sit down with you now to discuss Integrated Service Management and be sure to ask them about conducting a whiteboarding session.

Lou Corsino, North Central College professor of sociology, authored the article, "They Can't Shoot Everyone: Italians, Social Capital, and Organized Crime in the Chicago Outfit," in the May issue of the Journal of Contemporary Criminal Justice (Vol. 29 No. 2, 256-275).
The quarterly journal focuses on a critical issue in contemporary criminal justice in order to provide a cogent, thorough and timely exploration of the topic. Those issues include organized crime, community policing, gangs, white-collar crime and excessive police force.
