Actor Matthew Moy's Han Lee in the hit CBS comedy 2 Broke Girls encapsulates many of the stereotypes Asian American males are most sensitive about — from his thick, foreign accent to his role as the perpetually emasculated punch line. Now that the show will return for a third season, will the criticism be addressed, or are we being too sensitive? Story by Ada Tseng.
As I'm waiting for Matthew Moy to arrive at Hollywood's The Republic of Pie for our interview, I can't help but eavesdrop on two young women (one Caucasian and one Asian) gabbing on the sofa next to me.
"I don't know why, but I'm just not attracted to Asian guys," the Caucasian girl says. She insists she's not trying to be racist. In fact, she, of all people, definitely understands racism, because her ancestors were German Nazis in World War II (they still have some of the old uniforms), and her family's all embarrassed about it now, but what're you gonna do? Crazy, right?
As I'm processing the unexpected turn this conversation has taken, in walks Matthew Moy, all 5-foot-1-inch of him, all smiles. You can make a lot of assumptions about Moy, the Chinese American actor who's been criticized for perpetuating the emasculated Asian male stereotype in one of CBS' most successful sitcoms, but you can't deny that he has a knack for comic timing.
In 2011, Moy, an actor previously known for his recurring role on Scrubs, successfully booked a television role that would catapult him into mainstream fame. 2 Broke Girls co-creator Michael Patrick King, the writer/producer best known for creating the Sex and the City franchise, partnered with comedian Whitney Cummings on the script. Kat Dennings and Beth Behrs were cast as, respectively, Max, a sardonic working-class brunette, and Caroline, a blonde heiress recently stripped of her riches, who are waitressing in a diner in Brooklyn, while trying to start up their own cupcake business.
The collaboration proved successful. When 2 Broke Girls debuted, the premiere was watched by 19.2 million viewers, making it the highest rating for a fall premiere of a comedy series since fall 2001. It won the People's Choice Award for Favorite New TV Comedy and was nominated for three Emmys.
But the supporting characters rubbed many viewers the wrong way — the perverted Ukranian cook Oleg, the pot-smoking African American cashier Earl, and especially Korean American immigrant Han, the diner's boss who appeared to be a walking joke.
Phil Yu, who runs the popular Asian American blog Angry Asian Man, was one of the first to catch wind of the potential caricature. On February 24, 2011, he posted the pilot's script, which included Max mocking Han's inability to pronounce R's, calling him "Rice," and pointing out his "camel toe" from his pants being hiked up too high in the front. In comparison, the controversial version that made it on air seemed mild if unoriginal: a joke about a samurai sword, another about nicknaming himself Bryce Lee.
Asian Americans activists are often preaching to the minority choir when Hollywood does us wrong, but this time around, the mainstream media joined in on the criticism. The Hollywood Reporter's headline was "The Sorry State Of '2 Broke Girls': Racism and Lame Sex Jokes." The New Yorker bemoaned the ensemble cast "conceived in terms so racist it is less offensive than baffling."
At the time, Moy responded to press with the equivalent of a shoulder shrug, while Korean American TV writers traded jabs publicly: Danny Chun, writer of The Office, tweeted "Pretty subtle of 2 Broke Girls to have their Asian stereotype not wearing a coolie hat. Shows they respect their audience," while 2 Broke Girls' Sonny Lee responded, "Chillax. I'm an Asian writer on the show and find it stereotypical for fellow Asians to pull the Asian stereotype card."
Partway through the first season, it was leaked that 2 Broke Girls was looking to cast "a hot Asian guy" who hooks up with Caroline, a move many assumed to be a direct reaction to the criticism. But for most critics, the one episode role in which the Asian American guy was a one-night stand was too little, too late. "I feel like a lot of people wanted it to be a big deal," says actor Tim Chiou, who was cast for the part. "And honestly, I don't think it was revolutionary, but at the same time, it was just cool to see something different."
The collective anxiety all culminated in a January 2012 press conference, where co-creator King got snippy with reporters demanding a response to the racial stereotypes, and his un-finessed defensiveness ("But I'm gay! I'm putting in gay stereotypes every week. … I find it comic to take everyone down!") only fueled the fire. Leading up to the second season, King wrote a guest column in Entertainment Weekly that explained that, while they liked to shock people with their humor, they relied on the studio audience to help them judge what's funny versus what's too far.
Nowadays, with 2 Broke Girls having finished two seasons and renewed for a third, Moy is more direct when it comes to defending his body of work.
"People were just stressing themselves out," he says. "A lot of people were really judgmental at first, and it's understandable. But we have years to let them know who this character is. We're only a 21-minute show. Be patient, and all the layers will come out.
Once Moy was cast, the writers catered the Han character to him. They gave Han a ferret named Alvin, a nod to Moy, who used to work at a pet hospital and owns two chinchillas. In addition, the writers had a field day with Moy's small stature.
"A lot of hate comes because of the way I look," says Moy. "But I can't help that. They want me to look like Daniel Dae Kim, John Cho and Sung Kang. I don't look like those guys. They want someone with perfect bone structure. I have perfect bone structure, underneath my fat."
"It's funny because you see Asian jokes all the time on other shows," says Chiou. "But for Han, all these facets of being small, cheap and awkward are all magically wrapped up into one guy. It just so happens that Matt is able to get a whole series of jokes from all angles because of who he is and this character he created."
"All I have to say is that I'm trying my best, so if people want to hate on that, they can," Moy continues. "But I try my best to make them laugh."
The auditions for 2 Broke Girls took place the middle of the 2011 pilot season, and the casting directors saw Asian American male actors in all shapes and sizes to find their Han Lee, described as "33, Korean Born, Lovable, Thin Man; Thick Accent."
Justin Chon (Twilight, 21 and Over) and James Kyson Lee (Heroes) were amongst the actors in the room, but in the final round, it came down to Moy and Eddie Shin, a Korean American actor who has been on shows such as Gilmore Girls, That '80s Show, and BBC3's award-winning Phoo Action.
Even though he didn't end up getting the role, Shin remembers having a lot of discussions with family and friends when he found himself advancing to the final rounds of casting.
"Any time in my auditioning experience that a character comes in and has a thick accent, it's potential red flag territory," Shin explains. "But all I had to work with are five [audition] pages in the first episode of a series by a show creator with a very successful track record. And as an actor, you want to work, but on the other hand, you don't want to be crying all the way to the bank. So that was the dilemma."
Moy, who had trained in voiceover acting prior to pursuing on-camera work, came into his audition with strong acting choices. Not ethnically Korean himself, he based his Korean accent on Korean women restaurant owners he knew in Los Angeles. "I could have just done a [generic] Korean accent," he explains, "but then there's no character behind it. So I had to choose somebody I knew from my personal life, and the older Korean ladies were very much like the character [of Han], because they're very positive, and they take care of people."
"My take was different, more grounded," Shin remembers. "Because as much as I hate to admit it, sometimes I see nerdy portrayals of Asians, and it's like, 'Dude, I have friends just like that.' And this character reminded me of people of my parents' generation that I had known my whole life. So I tried to create a real portrayal of that, which may have been less funny."
Moy can't tell if most of the hate is coming from the Asian American community, but there's one thing he will say. "I've never gotten any hate mail from short people," he jokes. "I've gotten nothing but support from the short community. We're united."
"I think he has a really tough job," Chiou says. "First of all, you have to understand how to highlight the joke. And even though it's being made at his expense, he has to be a part of the joke, because that's how he develops a relationship with the other characters. And then eventually you get the sense that they're making the joke out of love, which is something that happens in all sitcoms."
"If I made the acting choice for him to take it personally every time they make fun of him, that hurts [the audience]," says Moy. "They'd feel his pain. But he's not in pain because he loves all those people in the diner, and [insults are] just the way they show each other they love each other.
"I always expected that people would react strongly to our show," Moy continues. "We don't just push comedy to the edge — we take two steps off the edge and then we pull it one step back. But I definitely wasn't prepared for all that attention."
Shin was less surprised by the backlash. "There's an enormous sensitivity to every Asian American portrayal because the American media so drastically underrepresents us," he says. "And when we are represented, it tends to be for very specific functions, so part of that sensitivity is rightfully there. But I've also learned that I can't live my career for someone else. At the end of the day, I have to trust my voice. Why should Matthew care about opinions of people he's never met in his life when it comes to his career? It's hard enough being an actor in Hollywood, and to add that factor into your decision-making is ludicrous."
"The role could have easily gone to a lesser actor that could have created more of a caricature," says Chiou. "But Matt's really talented. Before, the writers were breaking up the lines [to convey the broken English], and Matt was able to say, 'Look, I can do [the accent] without you having to write down the beats. Just write him as a real guy, and I can do the rest.' And little by little, the writers are giving him more stuff to do."
It's April 3, and 2 Broke Girls is taping the second-to-last episode of the second season, and despite what the Internet haters say, on the Warner Bros. studio in Burbank, Calif., Matthew Moy has become kind of a rock star. Sure, his adorkable character is dressed like he's off to Little League, and he's about to get hit in the groin with a baseball for a laugh, but the fans cheer wildly for him as soon as he comes on set.
His accent has been slightly lightened, and he delivers zings much more than he used to in the first season, but let's be real, the small jokes at his expense are just as rampant as ever.
"My character has a little more bite now," says Moy. "But Han is still a nice guy. And maybe he gets picked on the most because he can take it the most. I've been picked on a lot in my life, by both Asian Americans and non-Asian Americans. I can take it."
An episode earlier, Shin made a guest appearance as Tom, a Law & Order producer who wants to shoot a scene in their diner. The role was written non-Asian, but once they cast Shin, the writers found an Asian angle to their story. One of the rewrites that was pitched on the spot during the live taping involved Han trying to strike up a brotherhood with Tom by speaking to him in Korean, and Tom responding, "Dude, I'm from Pasadena."
Shin laughs at the memory. "I had to sit there and write out the Korean phonetically, and Matt's like, 'What do you mean I have to learn Korean in 30 seconds as a set up for your joke?!!"
The bit ended up making it into the episode, but there were other jokes that didn't make it.
"There were times where Michael Patrick King would come over with Sonny Lee and say, 'We're thinking of pitching this joke. Is it in any way offensive?'" says Shin. "And there were some that were like, 'Even if it gets a laugh, it's not worth it because you're going to get crucified, man!'
"But it's complicated," Shin explains. "Talk to anyone involved in comedy, and they're the most censor-free people in the world. Once you're hypersensitive about dissecting everything, it kills the whole world of comedy. I certainly don't believe that the show's humor is malicious. But Michael Patrick King is a very openly gay man with a certain comedic sensibility that can be very biting and edgy. And when he pitches a joke, it's hilarious. But someone else could do a word-for-word delivery of the same joke, and you might be like, 'Now it sounds a little weird.'"
But if the audience laughs, there's a good chance it'll make it on the air. While the racial jokes are still hit or miss, Han is now often the unexpected hero of the story. In one episode, he saves the girls when they're held up at gunpoint in the diner. In another, he gives a generous cash Christmas gift to save the girls' cupcake business from going under. Even in the episode in which Shin guest stars, what seems like Han's stereotypical stinginess is revealed to be a ploy to make sure Max and Caroline aren't being taken advantage of by the Law & Order producers.
"I don't think there's anything wrong with expecting more from the TV that you watch," says Chiou. "And it's valid for us to voice our opinions whenever we see things that we perceive to be racist, insensitive or awkward. But we also have to celebrate these little victories."
"Never in my life has something made sense to me as much as acting," says Moy. "I didn't even think that I could be on TV, but once I took the time to learn [the craft], I realized it's not an impossible dream. I just had to work hard toward it, and it became realistic."
After the show taping, Moy comes over to the stands to thank me for coming. Six Asian American college girls from the audience quickly gather behind me, excited that he's approaching.
"Are those your friends?" he asks, genuinely caught off guard by his group of Asian fangirls. I shake my head.
"You're so cute!" one of them says.
Moy smiles shyly, as if he's not sure how to respond, waves at them, and then quickly rushes back to join his on-set family.
"Ten years ago I had just learned how to drive a car. I was a hit with my carless roommates! Grocery store trips were luxurious." — Matthew Moy

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (KTHV) -- Deanna Fleming with Catering Creations shares this recipe for Buffalo Mac and Cheese.
Buffalo Mac and Cheese
2 lbs of elbow Macaroni or Rotini Pasta
1/2 stick of butter
1lb extra sharp cheddar, shredded
1/2 lb Monterrey jack cheese, shredded
1/4 lb crumbled blue cheese, divided
3 Cups of Shredded Rotisserie Chicken
3/4 cup Frank's Red Hot Wing Sauce (More if you like it spicy)
2 cups evaporated milk
Italian Bread crumbs (optional)
Start by cooking the pasta to al dente. You will want it to taste ALMOST done. When the pasta is drained, add the half stick of butter so the macaroni doesn't stick to the pot.
In a separate small dish add your chicken and the 1/2 the wing sauce. Then add to pasta along with the rest of the wing sauce.
Stir in two big handfuls of sharp cheddar, a handful of the Monterrey jack, and a handful of blue cheese. Stir it all together. If it feels too sticky or difficult to stir, add a little of the evaporated milk.
Pour half the contents of the macaroni into a nonstick baking pan (or one that has been sprayed with cooking oil) and add a layer of all the cheeses in the center, spread it out evenly. Then with the remaining macaroni, place it all in the pan and cover with the remaining cheese.
Just before baking pour the evaporated milk over the top of the dish and cheese. Top with breadcrumbs, cover with foil, and bake at 350* for 25-30 minutes until bubbly. Then uncover and bake again for 10 minutes.
Serves 10-12

About Bilstein Parts & Accessories
When August Bilstein laid the foundations for the innovation incubator BILSTEIN in Altenvoerde in Germany's Westphalia region in 1873, nobody had any idea of the crucial influence the company's products would one day have on the driving comfort and safety of cars. Instead it was metal window fittings - sold under the catchy name of AUBI, an abbreviation of August Bilstein - that soon made the company famous far beyond the boundaries of Bilstein's local region and even abroad. In 1954, BILSTEIN was the first to realize the potential offered by an idea of Prof. Bourcier de Carbon, a French researcher in the field of vibrations. The aim was to eliminate the physical disadvantages of the conventional telescopic shock absorbers, whilst at the same time making the dampers lighter and able to be fitted in any position. Enormous effort went into development, accompanied by substantial investment in the necessary production facilities, in order to achieve this ambitious target. And it paid off. The introduction of the first mono-tube gas pressure shock absorber in a standard production Mercedes-Benz vehicle in 1957 by what was at the time the 'Fittings and car jack manufacturer BILSTEIN' (Beschlag- und Wagenheber-Hersteller BILSTEIN) is still today considered a major contribution to active driving safety. To this day, the demands of its customers in the automotive and tuning industries, combined with its commitment to motor sports, are what drive development and innovation at BILSTEIN. All AMG Mercedes in the DTM and over half of the teams in the 24 hour race on the Nurburgring approach the starting line with BILSTEIN accessories. The partnership and co-operation within the group will enable the company to continue to inspire with innovations in the traditional BILSTEIN way.

I went to the Mudhoney/Melvins show in Milwaukee last night (which was great), and saw that Bobby Dixon did a couple of awesome posters for the show. As I was leaving the show, I noticed a guy standing on the steps selling posters he considered "the" poster for the show.
I guess I was just curious how you guys felt about people who do "bootleg" posters. Maybe that's how some people start out? I don't know how the business relationship between the bands and the poster artists works.
I'm not an artist, just a fan, and I appreciate the work that you guys put into your posters.

On my bike the auto decompress has recently failed making it difficult to kickstart.
Sorry to butt in on the UCE forum, but I have a question. I have an '08 AVL Classic & I never use the electric start. I also never use the decompressor. Under any and all conditions, I kick it once or twice & it's running. What am I doing wrong? Or is it EFI & electric fuel pumps that make the difference?

BARNESVILLE - During his eight-year tenure as Barnesville coach, Chris Pack's Shamrocks have enjoyed a noticeable measure of success.
In fact, the Shamrocks have a five-year streak of winning seasons. To continue that trend, Pack indicates many things must fall into place.
''We lost approximately 80 percent of our offense (via graduation) and have a limited number of returning players with varsity experience,'' Pack said. ''That doesn't mean any of our goals have changed. We expect to be competitive on a nightly basis. I don't believe there's any team on our schedule we can't go out and play with. Having said that, this season will be a challenge in many ways. We're probably going to experience a few rough nights.''
Not at all out of the question considering the amount of talent the class of 2012 produced.
Among the departed from a 13-10 campaign are the Dornon brothers, Zach and Preston, both a pair of rugged customers who were consistent scorers and in-your-face defenders.
''They averaged around 15 points (apiece) and were constant inside-outside threats,'' Pack said. ''In addition, they were tough-nosed kids and always the most competitive on the floor.''
The Shamrocks' inside game took a graduation hit with the loss of 6-foot-5 Tyler Fitzpatrick. Another inside force missing is 6-4 Ian Wells.
''Losing (those) four players at one time obviously means we'll sport a different look this season,'' Pack said.
Only three returning lettermen comprise the roster, led by two-year vet 5-10 senior Dylan MacMillan.
''Dylan has logged some varsity minutes since his freshman season. He is, by far, our most experienced returner,'' Pack said. ''We'll expect him to run the point and be a good decision-maker. Dylan's play will get our offense in the flow. We also foresee his scoring average (6.0) increasing.''
Returning letterwinner Brandon Burkhart figures to excel around the basket and provide both inside scoring and rebounding.
''Brandon came on strong late last season. His offense really began to come around and we envision more of the same,'' Pack said. ''He covers the floor well and is more aggressive under the boards.''
The Shamrocks' third letterman is 6-1 junior Brian Clark, who earned some important varsity minutes as a sophomore. One other senior on the roster, 6-1 wing Jacob Anderson, will likely serve as a role player.
Pack speaks highly of a pair of rising sophomores, both of whom figure to play important roles this winter.
Isaac McGee is a 5-11 potential scorer who is dramatically improved, according to his coach.
''We like Isaac's ball-handling and defensive skills. We think his game with improve as the season progresses,'' Pack said.
The same holds true for 6-1 Mitchell Wells, who figures to enhance the inside attack.
''Mitchell's a young kid with what we feel is a bright future,'' Pack said. ''We like his versatility and feel he can help in a number of ways.''
Five juniors complete the varsity unit: 6-1 wing Chase Mankin, 5-10 wing David Stewart, 6-1 forward Zach Houston, and six-foot swingmen Eric Nicholson and Lucas Wells.
Lucas Wells is wing-oriented with a good understanding of the game while Nicholson will be primary jayvee duty.
Barnesville's junior class includes Cory Rush. Two additional sophomores slated to see jayvee action are 5-10 Aaron Kerner and 5-9 Brady Rockwell.

Tallahassee, Florida – December 8, 2012
Governor Rick Scott celebrated the beginning of Chanukah by participating in a ceremonial lighting of the menorah with Rabbi Schneur Oirechman of Chabad Lubavitch of the Panhandle-Tallahassee.
Governor Scott said, "With the beginning of Chanukah, Jewish families across Florida will reflect on the year's blessings and on the importance of tradition and family. The story of Chanukah reminds us that confidence in one's identity and hope for the future are powerful forces that cannot be defeated—even in the darkest of times. Chanukah is also a time to reiterate our support for the people of Israel. Ann and I wish Florida's Jewish community a very happy Chanukah, and we are keeping our friends in Israel in our prayers for a future of peace."

Plenty of bike racks after school name calling threads about knee-jerk (and non-knee jerk) calls for firings, massive trades, heart transplants etc. Spiced in among them - people actually observing the games and making interesting observations about where the Bruins' game is breaking down (as opposed to simply saying the system is to blame). I'd like this thread to be reserved for that - rather than emotional reactions to what you see as a lack of effort or letting the fans down, some more technical talk about what they're doing well and what isn't working.
For example, the Bruins' offensive game tends to work in two broad phases - the rush and the cycle. Lately, they've been better on the rush than on the cycle, but the weakness of the way they rush tends to be very much about guys filling their lanes. You see it particularly with Seguin and Marchand on a two on two - they go down their lanes and either look for the cross-ice pass or they blast away looking for a rebound. They don't cross or change speeds to create different angles, and they don't circle back to look for a trailer. Everything is North-South. It's a little different with the Krejci line (with Lucic and Horton) but not much. The pattern hits Kelly the hardest - how many times does he just hang on to the puck because there is no play? Now they have Jagr, you see even more clearly what they could do if they varied the approach. Marchand's goal the other night was a result of Jagr moving east west to create a lane for Marchand to beat Letang. We've also seen a couple of occasions where two guys filling lanes leaves a wide-open zone where a guy like Jagr can curl and snap off a wrister for a goal or a rebound. I'd like to see more conscious effort to vary the rush within that basic north-south game to create more of those good looks rather than the low percentage cross-crease feed we so often see whack off the defender.

Ford Model T - 40th Street Rod NationalsWritten by Chuck Vranas on December 1, 2009 Built To A T
The Model T has always been a major force in the world of street rodding and it was quite apparent everywhere you looked throughout the weekend at Henry's most simple offering. With nearly every body type represented through a myriad of build styles covering decades of development, it indeed proved that the mighty T is timeless. Regardless of whether you turned it into a stripped-down, modified rattle-canned in flat black, or if you chopped and channeled it hard and covered it with candy gloss, the passion for the early years of Ford proved itself amongst the 11,003 cars cruising the fairgrounds on Saturday.

Bill and Sue Posey equipped their T Touring with small-block Chevy, vibrant white rolled interior, classic suspension, teal painted body, and chromed wire wheels.The most dramatic hopped-up T of the weekend was Gary Hinson's '27 Ford coupe built by Kingpin Hot Rods. Drenched in House of Kolor Pagan Gold Candy, it was treated to endless custom metal fabrication, filled with a six-pot fed small-block V-8, and slammed.We caught Jim and Joyce Miller stopping for a bite in their neat '23 Ford T. Coated in bright yellow gloss, it featured a 289ci Ford V-8, spacious long bed, crme interior, and red steelies.You couldn't miss Bill Miller's wild '27 Ford sedan with its effervescent pink body accented by plenty of brass and chrome. Powered by a detailed dual-quad Hemi, it also had IFS and IRS for a smooth ride.David Webb's contemporary '27 Ford modified is dipped in Silver Metallic. It features a bright red rolled interior, Currie rearend, and big-inch Boyds wheels shod with low-profile rubber.Sometimes simplicity leaves you awestruck. Chris Staneck's '27 Ford modified had a 2.0L Ford 'banger linked to a five-speed, cowl steering, Armstrong shocks, and a perfect Midnight Black body.Although not a T, this '24 Chevy owned by Jerry and Kathy Tetting gives the appearance of the early Ford. A very cool flamed Lavender body, tall windshield, suicide frontend, Olds V-8, and tasty mile-long hairpins.One of our favorite Nats T-buckets was Deryl and Gwen Border's, which was powered by a 245ci Flathead topped with Offy heads and matching intake. A Gold Almond Metallic body accented by Tangerine flames makes the car stand out in any crowd.
Chopped, channeled, and slammed, Ray Irwin's '26 Ford T coupe looked like it was ready to run. Evil in polished black suede, it was packed with a Joe Hunt-sparked small-block V-8 fed by dual quads.Ed Gromer's '27 Ford modified with its track nose, custom aluminum interior, and killer stance is an excellent example. Powered by a 2.3L Ford topped with Esslinger performance goods, you know it has plenty of go power.Bill Sammons' '26 Ford T modified has the perfect stance accented by classic lettering, split 'bones, friction shocks, and a Frankland quick-change rearend.At the swap meet there were numerous T projects awaiting new owners, like this '27 Ford coupe that was remarkably complete and very solid with an asking price of $5,500.Tom and Sue Meier's '26 Ford hot rod coated in red sits on the ever-present wires, a traditional touch on a Model T.

A commissioned piece.
The premise is that South Africa is colonized by the French instead of the Dutch beginning in the late 16th century. Eventually, the French colony comes to encompass all of southern Africa and becomes a world power (essentially a smaller, French-speaking counterpart to the USA in the real world). By 2012 in that reality, Lasalliana is the largest, richest and most powerful country in both Africa and the entire southern hemisphere.

Gwar -- New York, NY -- December 13th, 2009
This was the last date of the tour that Gwar has been doing with The Red Chord and Job For a Cowboy. We got to the Fillmore at about 6:30, and the line wasn't that long at all, probably considering the rain. Overall, The Red Chord pissed me off because of their pompous attitude. I'm sure for the six people in the pit doing their hardcore dancing, they were really good, and I will admit, when they played a song of Clients that I knew it was pretty good. But come on, I've seen The Red Chord with Gwar like 8 times, and it's quite unchanging regarding performance and setlist.
Job For a Cowboy came out, and to be honest their sound surprised the fuck out of me. AND ONLY THEIR SOUND. Just wanna clarify that. They really had some awesome speakers and equipment, and you could hear every single note of every instrument. I'm not a fan whatsoever, besides for "Knee Deep" and they got that over right in the beginning. I know people think they are like the best MetalCore/PosiCore/NegiCore/HyperADDCore/PigSquealCore/JFACore/RiotCore/ObamaCore/ArizonaCore/ScreamCore/EmoCore/NinjaCore/sXeCore/DeathCore/HardCore band ever, but i really, really, really hate them, and all of the people that participate in that kind of dancing. I grabbed a kid by his hair after he pushed my girlfriend over in the midst of a Quarter Throwing Ninja Mosh as she was quietly trying to enjoy the show and scared the ever-loving shit out of him (I'm not the most approachable or friendly looking fella, I guess) and the Kung-Fu pits ceased and the real moshing sorta picked up a little bit....During Gwar it picked up, as the whole floor turned into a brutal fucking assault. Like The Red Chord, I'm sure Job For a Cowboy really impressed the people who were there to see them, but they aren't my brand.
Sometime after XxJFACxX, the almighty Gwar presented us with their hilarious "Behind the Murder" video before they slaughtered the stage for a good hour and some. I have seen Gwar 15 times, randomly throughout the years (I guess I am in the right place at the right time), and I really enjoyed their stage show the most this time. They had more of their characters like the Destructos, Commander Zog (I'm sorry if that's not his name), Bonesnapper, etc. and not so many of the people. I guess that is good and bad. They did kill Michael Jackson when they brought him out for "one last performance" which was very funny, random babies, and Obama, which was hilarious, but besides for that, the blood and spew came from the Destructos and Commander Zog. We got drenched, and so did everyone else, I can add another green and red t-shirt (that was white) to my collection. Crowd was nuts, it was one big wave and then one big pit for the entire show. Gotta love New York City shows, we're fucking brutal, lol! The setlist was the same as the rest of the tour, but I had no complaints. Then for they came out for a second encore and they played Fistful of Teeth, Fuckin an Animal, Rag Na Rok and...oh wait, that was when I woke up from my dream, nevermind.

i was there last night too. was able to go backstage and meet gwar in character/costume, which made me sooooo fucking happy.
my 4th time seeing them, probably the best [I]performance[/I] i've seen them put on, i could have wished for a better set list, very LIS heavy, which isnt a bad thing however, because the new album is good and a lot better live. but i was very happy that they had more theatrics, blood, and bile driving than last year at Irving for the electile dysfunction tour.
about my fourth time seeing JFAC, and by far the best time. they have really stepped up their performance, every other time they would just kinda stand on stage and play, which was fine, but now they were all raging and seemed really into it. great crowd interactions too, especially when i yelled at Johnny that he had a nice loogie hanging from his beard.
set list is pretty well represented in this thread: [URL="http://www.metalsetlists.com/showthread.php?t=11729"]http://www.metalsetlists.com/showthread.php?t=11729[/URL]
adding Bearing the Serpent's Lamb, To Detonate and Exterminate, possibly one or two more.
first time seeing the red chord, and i enjoyed them a good deal. they're a bit much on the deathcore side, but it's not really a bad thing to begin with because they don't overkill it and they make up for it with all the other elements they throw in. and i wouldn't say they were coming off as "pompous" at all, they just seemed to be having fun.
as far as i know the set list was accurately represented in the other thread

I actually did pick up 2 copies, but for some reason they said that was it, limit 2. I planned on giving one for a Christmas gift, but on Ebay I saw two for buy it now prices of like $240 each and 6 hours later, they were gone. So I have a tough decision, lol.

I should have found someone going to one of the last 5 shows and given them a few extra bucks to pick me up one. Oh well. No way in hell is it worth more than 25$ to me, so I guess I should stop caring.
i didnt make my way over to that end of the merch booth, what was on it?
i would also like to add that i agree with why OP hates them, especially those hXc ninja dancing head up their assese faggots, but idk if its completely fair to base hatred off a fan base. that's why i can confidently say that i have always been a big slipknot fan, but god do i hate slipknot fans. same goes for JFAC.

My kitchen has a little breakfast room with a skylight and a big sliding door overlooking the garden. Apart from that there's just one window, with a panoramic view of my neighbour's brick wall and into their kitchen window.
Rather than create privacy with curtains or shutters, I fill the deep sill with a motley assortment of plants. This has the same effect and gives both of us something nice and green to look at year-round.
My kitchen window faces north, so the light isn't terrific for sun-lovers, but less fussy plants survive just fine. So what grows there at the moment? In the black, wrought-iron pedestal pot is a 'River Nile' begonia–a showy beauty whose leaves have maroon-coloured edges. Next to it on the right is a slipper orchid that has quadrupuled in size and has bloomed twice for me–it really needs to be transplanted, but I'm not that confident with orchids so I've been putting it off. And to the right of that is a crown of thorns (Euphorbia milii), which has grown quite tall and rangy because it would really, really appreciate more light, thank you. Even so, it does manage to push out a few red blooms from time to time, so good for it.
At the back left is a coffee plant that was sent to me some 18 months ago. This hasn't grown too much, but at least it hasn't died. (Still, I don't think I'll be grinding homegrown beans anytime soon.) Next to it and partially hidden from view is a floppy aloe vera, always a must in my kitchen because I often singe my arm or burn a finger as I'm pulling stuff out of the oven. I simply break off a bit of the plant and rub its sap on the ow-ow, which immediately soothes it.
Alongside these and thankfully hidden from view is a truly scraggly looking bit of lucky bamboo rooting in water. This was also sent to me and though I really should, I'm just too darned superstitious to put it in the compost. Last but not least, in the front left is a sulky African violet I'm nursing along. My house really doesn't have great light for African violets, but I'm ever hopeful and keep buying them anyway.
What's growing on your windowsill?

WASHINGTON (WUSA9) -- Wilson is a trained service dog and helps my brother in law Pat Horan get around. While he has encountered questions about Wilson's presence, he's never been kicked out of a place, until yesterday.
Patty, is Pat's wife. They had just visited their dentist whose office is next door to the Village Café on Stone Road in Centreville. Wilson sat quietly at Pat's feet while he got his teeth cleaned. Then, they went next door for lunch. Only to be shocked at the treatment by the owner's wife.
"I tried to explain to her that this isn't just a regular pet, this is a service dog. My husband is disabled. She really didn't want to listen to any of it. She just wanted us to leave the restaurant," said Patty.
MORE: The Laws About Service Dogs
They were given the option to order and sit outside and eat but there were no tables or chairs set up, said Patty.
As Pat and Patty turned to leave, Patty tried one more time.
Patty said, "I turned and I said, you need to understand what the law is. What you are doing is against the law."
WUSA9 went to the Village Café for some answers.
Mo is the owner of Village Café. He told us his wife Mary didn't understand that Pat was disabled and that Wilson was his service dog.
Mo Aminfar wanted to personally apologize to Pat.
"Pat, we apologize and are really sorry for what happened."

Jurgen Melzer is having a career year already.
The Austrian can claim a semifinal appearance at Roland Garros and fourth rounders at Wimbledon and the US Open as proof. He also reached a career-high No. 12 in the ATP World Tour rankings on the backs of those Grand Slam efforts and put himself within striking distance of the eighth spot for the Barclays ATP World Tour Final. So no one in their right mind would blame the 29-year old for taking it easy during the fall and quietly setting off on a well-earned vacay.
But today Melz made it known that he's ready to mix it up with the big boys in London when he upset World No. 1 Rafael Nadal 6-1, 3-6, 6-3 in the third round of the Shanghai Rolex Masters, the first time this year the 9-time Grand Slammer has failed to reach the quarterfinals. The veteran was the aggressor dictating with flat, penetrating shots and keeping the Spaniard on the defense throughout. Rafa was admittedly not at his best after contesting his third consecutive tourney but the Austrian should be given full credit for closing him out especially after having lost their three previous matches in straights.
Afterward he sounded like a man on a certain mission:
To be honest, I could live with that, having busy days in London. But it's a long way there. I'm in the quarter-finals. I have a good chance to reach the semis. I'm almost 900 points off the eighth player. This is a very long way. If it somehow happens, I'll be there, I'll be happy, and I'll be hopefully performing well.Melz isn't ready to call it a wrap just yet. And with the way he's playing, why should he?
London. So close yet, well, you know the rest.

FRIDAY RESULTS – September 30
(high school football)
(ORANGE CITY) -- M-O-C/Floyd Valley scored five times off a short field and capitalized on five Le Mars turnovers to beat the Bulldogs 35-13 Friday night in a Class 3A district 2 match-up at Korver Field in Orange City. Josh Wilson returned the opening kickoff 52 yards to the Bulldog 34 to set up a three yard run by Wilson for the first Dutch score. Le Mars took the ensuing kickoff and drove inside the ten yard line before fumbling into the end zone to thwart a scoring opportunity in the first quarter. The Bulldogs proceeded to fumble on two of their next three offensive plays, setting up two more short touchdown drives for M-O-C/Floyd Valley. Casey Guthmiller scored the first of his two TDs on a nine yard run to cap a 22-yard drive and Drew Rupp connected on a 12-yard TD pass to Zach Landuis to end a 31-yard drive. Le Mars scored with 48 seconds to play in the first half on an eleven yard scoring pass from Levi TeBrink to Kolin Brooks following a Dutch fumble at the M-O-C/Floyd Valley 24, cutting the Dutch lead to 20-6 at halftime. Le Mars pulled to within 20-13 on TeBrink's ten yard run capping a 78-yard drive to begin the second half. But M-O-C/Floyd Valley scored twice in the fourth quarter on a one yard run by Caleb DeHaan and a three yard run by Guthmiller to ice the victory. The final score came after the Bulldogs' fifth lost fumble of the night at the Le Mars 40 yard line. The Bulldogs fall to 1-and-5 for the season and 1-and-3 in the district while M-O-C/Floyd Valley goes to 3-and-3 with a 2-and-2 district mark. Le Mars hosts Sergeant Bluff-Luton next Friday in their final home game of the year.
(LE MARS) -- Top-rated Gehlen Catholic scored on every possession of the first half while rolling to a 57-0 halftime lead and the Jays completed a 57-2 blitz of winless Clay Central-Everly on homecoming Friday night at Jim Lorenzen Field. Homecoming king Trevor Bouma scored five touchdowns and ran for 221 yards on 18 carries for the Jays. Bouma scored on touchdown runs of six, nine, seven, 20 and 28 yards as Gehlen ran for 355 yards against the Mavericks. Zach Wurth added another 129 yards passing, hitting Mick Sitzmann and Alec Mousel with scoring passes. The Mavericks avoided the shutout when a center snap went over the punter's head and out of the end zone on Gehlen's final offensive play of the game. The Jays improve to 6-and-0 for the season and 2-and-0 in the district. Gehlen plays their last road game of the regular season next Friday at Moville against Woodbury Central.
There was a bit of a scare for Gehlen fans Friday night when head coach Tony Gunter felt discomfort in his chest before the game and was taken to Floyd Valley Hospital by ambulance. Fortunately, coach Gunter was suffering from stress and some indigestion and did not suffer a heart attack. He was released from the hospital late Friday night.

Is there a reason you dont want to do public land?
I am looking for recommendations for ranchers or outfitters that you guys have used in the past, that let you pay an access fee to archery hunt antelope. I don't need a fully guided antelope hunt. I can camp on my own, set up my own blinds, and have a 4x4 truck. I am just looking to pay for access to private property. I have been on three antelope hunts in the past, south and east of Gillette, and would like to try a new area. There has been nothing wrong with my expereince hunting on the ranch where I have hunted in the past. The only problem is that the rancher does such a good job managing is ranch for antelope, that he is booked out for 5 years. I am looking for ranchers or outfitters in Wyoming or South Dakota.
Thansk for your help!
Is there a reason you dont want to do public land?
I would try a Public land hunt over in Meeteetse. Lots of goats and public land. Not much hunting pressure at all. Have pulled nice goats out of there every year.
I would be up for trying public land. I guess I have been kind of spoiled hunting on our private ranch spot in the past. The rancher we hunt with does an excellent job. One of the real advantages that I have experienced hunting with our rancher, is that he will dry up as many of the natural water holes as possible, so that the antelope will have to water at a specific wind mill location. Also he knows what kind of animals he has on the ranch, because he watches them all summer. Therefore he will tell us where the nicer bucks are at, which is nice considering that we are out of staters. Like I mentioned earlier, I would continue to go with our rancher, but he is booked out for 5 years. It sounds like you guys feel that there is enough public land to go around, maybe I will give a public land hunt a try next time. Is it hard to locate water holes on public land? Thanks for the info WYrider, greatly appreciated.
It is not hard at all to locate water holes on public land. If you do hunt public land, I would just give yourself at least a day or two of just scouting the area out that way you kind of know. A lot of the public land around here has lots of like methane roads and stuff on them so you can drive around a lot of it.
I would have to agree. It is not hard to find the water holes on public. We hunted in WY in 2009 and found about 7 or 8 water holes in 4 days, and we hunted a pretty small area. Just get a good map/maps and check out the area a couple days prior to the hunt. Good luck!
I feel ya brook. When I went to Wyoming, the area I hunted, where there was blue on the blm map, it was private. I found one water hole that wasn't. I talked to the ranchers and they wanted a pretty penny for me to set up my blind. I wanna say 4-500$
Come on guys, half the fun is finding all this by yourself or with a buddy. Who needs someone to find their waterholes or where the big bucks hang out? If you have 3 days to hunt spend 2 of them scouting. Scouting is a valuable tool that doesnt get used as much as it should.
No offense to outfitters or people that use them. There is no better trophy than those taken on public land! But if there is to many people on the public land and you dont want to deal with that......pound on some doors! Its a lost art but it still works.
And remember always spend more time scouting then you do hunting, it will pay off in the end!
Good luck.

WASHINGTON, DC (WUSA9) -- Angelina Jolie probably didn't worry about the costs of testing or surgery. But many women do.
The prices for preventive mastectomy are all over the place. Several local hospitals declined to even answer questions about the costs.
But if you have insurance, the good news is more and more plans are covering both genetic testing and preventative surgery for women at high risk of breast cancer.
"It's not as scary as being diagnosed with breast cancer," says Beth Peshkin, who has counseled scores of women with the defective BRCA1 gene at Georgetown- Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center. "The testing is not cheap. And as many people have heard, there is one lab (Myriad Genetics) in Salt Lake City that holds the patent, and they control the price."
For a comprehensive BRCA analysis, that price is $3,340. But if you have a family history, that narrows the search and lowers the price to $475.
The Affordable Care Act now requires insurance companies to pay for testing for high risk patients. But you have to have insurance -- and risk factors. "It's not a guarantee that if someone wants testing that they'll be able to access it," says Peshkin.
Then if women make the same decision as Jolie and decide on prophylactic mastectomy, there's the cost of surgery. At breastcancer.org, women complain that the cost can run from $14,000 to $100,000 with reconstruction to $300,000 with complications. And even women with insurance said their co-pays and deductables cost them tens of thousands.
"And it's also the time away from work, childcare expenses, rehabilitation. So it is not a simple proposition," says genetics counselor Peshkin.
There all all kinds of choices here. Test or no test. Mastectomy or intensive screening, MRI, risk-reducing meds like Tamoxifen.
But Jolie has helped start a national dialogue -- and empowered people to decide the best course for them.

Kim Kardashian's Baby: Kanye West Thrilled to See Daughter! — Report
Kim Kardashian has just given birth to her first child, and no one is feeling heartless about the occasion! According to an eyewitness at the hospital where Kim just welcomed her baby daughter, new daddy Kanye West could not be happier about the birth, Hollywood Life is reporting.
Kanye was said to be both emotional and elated after Kim gave birth on June 15. He then was reportedly met with well-wishers at the hospital throughout the day. "He was on the north side tower hugging two women," says a source, adding that the guests appeared to be Kim's relatives. "It was a warm embrace." We love that the sometimes-surly Kanye is so thrilled to be a papa!
Just after Kanye met with the women, Kim received four carts of flowers carrying white Casablanca lilies, which appeared to be a gift from the women. How sweet!
Among the guests at the hospital was Kim's BFF Brittny Gastineau, who stopped by to wish Kim the best. Congrats to the happy family!

A GUNMAN who tried to rob a hairdressers came a cropper when he was beaten and tied up naked by the female owner – who then fed him Viagra and used him as a sex slave. Viktor Jasinski, 32, had gone to the salon with the intention of robbing it. But after demanding the day's takings he instead found himself overcome by the owner – karate black belt Olga Zajac, 28, – who floored him with a kick and tied him up with a hair dryer cable. She then took him into a back room at the salon at Meshchovsk,...
When police arrived to question Olga, she said: "What a b******. Yes, we had sex a couple of times. But I bought him new jeans, gave him food and even gave him 1,000 roubles (around 30 GBP) when he left.

1967 Mercury Cougar - Street-Friendly Comp CageWritten by on November 1, 2011 We show you how to combine safety and style for the ultimate streetable rollcage
Though not quite an oxymoron, we should preface this story about our '67 Cougar by saying that street friendly is a relative term here. Max Effort's ethos through and through is pushing a street-legal muscle car as far as possible on the road course, and to make that a reality we need a 'cage that's designed to function on several levels.
First and foremost is safety; building a car with high levels of performance potential necessitates planning ahead for the worst possible outcome. If something goes wrong, we want to walk away. Or at least limp.
To extract every ounce of capability out of our CorteX Racing suspension system, we also need to create a 'cage that is designed to make our unibody chassis as rigid as possible. Flex and twist are your enemies when you're generating high g-forces, as they literally change the geometry of the chassis. Factory unibodies function a bit like monocoques by using the panels and the tub of the car as structure, but are typically quite weak in terms of deflection, especially in vintage cars. What we want is a 'cage that essentially becomes the load-bearing skeleton of the car.
On the street side, we want to do all of the aforementioned without making ingress and egress too much of a contortion act. The real trick to making a true competition 'cage feel more streetable, though, is to minimize the imposing look and feel by integrating it so well into the interior that it looks almost graceful and natural, and less pure race. That's no easy task since it requires balancing safety with style, but fortunately for us that's a skill something Ryan Kertz at Kertz Fabrication excels at.
Kertz is a high-level race car fabricator, so strength and safety are always paramount in his plans for any rollcage. Nevertheless, he's also one of the few such metal benders who also believes in creating a 'cage that feels custom tailored to a car rather than just assembled for strength. What's the difference? Organic flow. Any number of 'cage configurations can be strong, but there are certain guidelines that must be followed to create one that feels like it was intended just for a particular car.
The good news is that it's all stuff that can be learned and applied to any 'cage, and Kertz has agreed to show us some of his tips and tricks for installing a totally sano structure. While this particular 'cage for Max Effort is more than most rodders will need or perhaps want, the same concepts will apply to pretty much any endeavor. If you're looking for a trustworthy place to build a beautiful and functional 'cage for your ride, give Kertz a call. Trust us; it would be worth the effort to get your car to his shop at Infineon Raceway.

Here's why that much effort was necessary; when designing a 'cage for ideal rigidity, Trojanek employs stress analysis to fine-tune the placement of the bars to maximize strength while minimizing the amount of steel needed. The value of the 'cage is 12,000 ft-lb per degree—meaning it takes 12,000 ft-lb of force to twist it 1 degree.Kertz doesn't use the conduit skeleton method; he prefers to simply take careful measurements for the main hoop and sketch out the plan. Always try to picture the 'cage as a complete unit, then work backward and figure out how to break it down into manageable pieces.Those measurements are then transferred to a 1:1 scale sketch on a sheet of cardboard for accuracy. The main hoop is by far the most time-consuming part of the rollcage and also the most critical to bend correctly since every other bar ties into it. Get it wrong and everything else will be off as well.This upper section of the main hoop is especially challenging since it requires two bends to get it to conform to the body and hug tightly to the panels. Kertz uses a short length of pipe here to help visualize what he wants to do, then takes measurements from the body and quarter window and notes the angles required.Once you're satisfied with the numbers, it's time to cut steel. Our main bars are 1¾ x .095 DOM and we also have some 1½ x .065 DOM to save weight on less critical bars designed for rigidity. Always buy more tube than you think you'll need to account for errors or additions. We recommend Tube Service as a good source.From there it's back to the cardboard sketch to check accuracy of the bend and double-check the angle before trial-fitment.A barrel grinder makes quick work of burrs and is also ideal for fine-tuning cuts that are just a little bit off. This one needed just a touch more depth.Using a JD Squared Model 3 tubing bender that he fitted with a hydraulic ram for easy one-man bending, Kertz shaped the main hoop using the angles he measured inside the Cougar. Actually he has to bend just a touch more than is needed to account for slight bounce-back in the tube. Once he releases tension and the tube is in its final shape he rechecks the angle and then measures the ram to ease repeatability on the other side of the hoop.Fits like a glove; careful measurements paid off and the main hoop fit perfectly on the first try. Note the slight rearward angle the hoop is mounted at; Kertz looks for natural lines in the car to align the bars with. The rearward angle of the main hoop matches the rake of the quarter window glass. The blue tape shows our next bars.
Don't make any permanent welds until the entire 'cage is finished; Kertz lays light tacks just sufficient to hold the bars in place while he measures.Here's another good reason for only tacking tubes to the car; Kertz recommends building as much of the 'cage outside the car as possible for ease of construction. The entire main hoop will be finished before he slides it back into Max Effort.The remotely operated ram also allows Kertz to step back and eyeball the progress. Just out of frame, we're holding the other side of the hoop.One of the things separating pros from amateurs when it comes to 'cages is precise fitment. To fill in the hoop with the harness crossbars, Kertz uses a JD Squared TN-100 tubing notcher fitted with a hole saw on his drill press. These things can make both simple and complex notches when used correctly; like the one necessary for the crossbar.These bars won't need further adjusting, so Kertz TIG welded them completely once he was satisfied with the fitment, since making these welds on a table is much easier than making them in the car.Solid welds with appropriate penetration might be the most important part of the whole process. Though the perfect stack o' dimes is indicative of a welder with good rhythm, it's the heat signature and coloration around the weld that we're really concerned about, since it tells the quality of the weld. This one is perfect.It may seem like a lot of work, but here's the result of that preplanning: two flawlessly formed A-pillar tubes that flow perfectly with the lines of both the roofline and the A-pillars.
Correctly formed A-pillar bars are as difficult as the main hoop, but in a slightly different way; A-pillar bars require bends that are correctly clocked to flow along the roofline then down the A-pillar itself. For mock-up, Kertz tacks a smaller-diameter tube into a piece of the 1¾ x .095 DOM that is roughly the shape he needs for the down tube, and then slides another section of 1¾ x .095 DOM over the inner tube.This is the junction of the main hoop, A-pillar bar, and a roof crossbar made from lighter 1½ x .065 DOM. The theory here is to triangulate most of the bars above the driver's head to create the strongest structure possible at that point. We'll be replacing the headliner, but to avoid melting it as he tacked, Kertz placed a sheet of aluminum between it and the bars.Here's the finished main hoop in its final location, but still only tacked into position to allow some flex for maneuvering our next challenge: the A-pillar bars.Inside the car, the separate pieces can rotate independently, allowing Kertz to easily determine the clocking needed for the best fit and flow. Ideally we want this bar tucked tightly to the roof and barely visible from outside the car. He adjusted this tube several times in the bender, then set the clock and tacked the two pieces together.A good eye is useful, but a digital level is always right. Kertz double-checked the A-pillar bars on each side to ensure they were level relative to one another.The integrity of the 'cage is paramount in this project, so Kertz removes the outer edges of the dash to allow the A-pillar bar to slide into place unimpaired. We'll rebuild the dash around the tube afterward.With his mock-up tube, measurements, and notes as reference, Kertz grabbed a fresh length of tube and created a new A-pillar tube. One of the cardinal rules of 'cage building is that every length needs to be a single piece of tube—no butt welds or splices allowed.Here's a challenge we've always wondered about: How do you weld all the way around the joint, especially when it's tucked so tightly to the roof? There's no TIG that's going to fit in there, no matter how good a welder you are, and it's never acceptable to leave a joint like this.
Relatively speaking, these bars are a piece of cake; there are no bends involved, just intersections. For aesthetics, the split bar should maintain a perfect consistent centerline on either side of the intersection. Start with a notch cut just a bit too small, and sneak up on the fitment by using the barrel grinder to open it up. A long straight-edge is ideal for verifying that the inclination of the two sides matches.The last thing we need to address is the engine bay. Without the factory shock towers we've lost most of the unibody's upper strength, so loads would be mostly carried by the framerails.Just like that, we've got an extra 6 inches of headroom, plenty for Kertz to lay a strong TIG bead all the way around the joint.Here's the completed door bars on the driver side. The gussets don't add much strength, but they add a ton of style! The killer ovals were made by a Rad Rides oval punch set. They're currently pondering a new production run; email or call Troy and the boys now, and tell 'em they gotta make more of these things!To solve that issue and create a far more rigid frontend, Kertz ran a bar through the firewall that ties the A-pillar bar and dash into the front suspension's mini tower and then the framerail itself. The two shorter bars make a geometry that Trojanek found to be beneficial to overall rigidity in his testing.Our door bars will be a basic X-style for maximum strength and safety, as well as meeting standards for many race classes. We still want functioning standard latches and regulators, however, so some minor adjustments were necessary. Kertz used a tape measure to determine where the intersection of the X should occur.To strengthen the cowl section of the unibody, Kertz ran a straight bar behind the dash tying the two lower bends of the A-pillar tubes together. There's still plenty of room to reassemble the dash to stock, but it's a good thing we had no plans of running A/C or stock vents.Here's the view from inside the engine bay. We weren't building to any specific road race class or NHRA specs since Max is mostly an open track car, but we will technically be legal for the American V8 Super Car Series.
To wrap up the triangulation of the cab section, Kertz ran a down bar from the back of the main hoop, again tying into the upper bend for triangulation. The diagonal follows the same theory and ties into the bottom of the passenger-side down bar at the mounting plate. We got lucky; the optimum angle for the bars just barely missed the package tray. Obviously, we won't be running a rear seat.

HerRoom Response: Thank you for your feedback! We suggest you try our Bra Finder on the left hand side of our home page. Search your size of 38A to find all bras offered in that size.
Warner's has been dressing women in sexy, comfortable bras for over a century. The timeless, classic designs are made for a full range of shapes and sizes. Warner's lingerie is well-constructed and durable. The bras have updated styles and use the best fabrics. The panties are popular among women looking for the highest level of comfort. Warner's makes women's lives easier by giving them the comfort and support of lingerie that has been dressing women since the early 1900s.
Women can look in the closet of a mother, grandmother or great grandmother and probably find a Warner's bra. They created their first bras in 1902. One thing Warner's is known for is patenting one of the first best-selling bras. In 1914, Mary Phelps Jacob designed a bra first made from handkerchiefs and ribbon. She sold the patent to the Warner Brothers Corset Company for $1500. The company made $15 million dollars from the bra over the next 30 years. Within a year, breasts were measured in inches rather than being categorized small, medium or large. Not only that, but in the 1920s Warner's increased popularity when they created a c-tight style bra to keep up with the Flapper styles. The rest is history.
Warner's knows what women are looking for in a bra, and have designed something to fit for every one of a woman's occasions. From a contour bra to a stretch-style bra, women know that when choosing Warner's garments their decisions will be easier. Warner's has been the focus of many blogs, magazines and worn by many celebrities. Good Housekeeping named Warner's t-shirt bra, Invisible Bliss, the best on the market. They were also featured in InStyle's Style Watch guide. The Elements of Bliss and Friday's collections are two of the most popular due to their comfort and gentle shaping. The Friday bra styles are especially praised for all-day comfort, the lightness of the fabric and its great support. Elements of Bliss molded bras are also popular as maternity bras. Without a Stitch briefs are customer favorites as well, praised for the silky softness and perfect body-hugging fit. Warners panties styles range from high waisted briefs to hipsters and high cut briefs, all constructed for comfort. Several Warner's panties styles come in plus sizes too, including Without a Stitch, Innocent Nudes and Perfect Measure.
The main thing customers find in Warner's pieces is comfort. One woman who bought the This Is Not a Bra Full Coverage Bra said, "There is a reinforced padding in the underwire area that makes the fit a little more snug and comfortable. How many bras have you worn where the underwire dug into your girls making your daily existence miserable? That's not an issue with this bra and I will definitely give Warner's two-thumbs up for that piece of engineering."
Warner's dresses women in classic fashion and design. They continue to learn and grow as technology and style moves forward. Women of all sizes can find the perfect fit and a high level of comfort when they choose a Warner's piece.

More than a week ago, GamingConfidential reported that a Microsoft customer service representative foresaw an outbreak of the Red Ring of Death (RROD) issue once the New Xbox Experience becomes available.
While most scoffed at the idea, the prediction held true and MS service lines are white hot with calls from angry customers.
"I hate what the company did this year," says the rep. "They released the New Xbox Experience a few days after the extended warranty period ended for most users and it's tough to explain that to raging callers. How do you say that MS just screwed them all?"
He adds "our bosses really fed us to the lions this time. We're getting everything from crying kids to death threats from angry adults. It's an orgy, I tell ya."
The rep ended the short chat by lamenting how Xbox 360 owners are blaming the update for even the most far-fetched issues. An example, he says, is a call from a 32-year old man claiming that his house's power went out after updating. More PlayStation 3 News...

Chicago, IL (Sports Network) - Luol Deng filled the stat sheet with 25 points,
seven assists and six rebounds to lead the Chicago Bulls past the Philadelphia
76ers, 93-88, at the United Center.
Carlos Boozer and Joakim Noah each added a double-double for Chicago, which
won its second straight game and earned a bit of payback for being eliminated
in the first round of last season's playoffs by Philadelphia.
Boozer finished with 12 points and 12 rebounds, while Noah had 12 points and
13 boards in the win.
Jrue Holiday scored a team-high 23 points and Thaddeus Young followed with 22
for the 76ers, who had a three-game win streak snapped.
