Birth Place: Lebanon
Born Keanu Charles Reeves in Beirut, Lebanon on Sept. 2, 1964, his early life was marked by turmoil and change. His parents, costume designer Patricia Taylor, and Samuel Nowlin Reeves - whose Hawaiian-Chinese-European heritage contributed to his son's exotic looks and unusual first name, which translated as "cool breeze over the mountains" in Hawaiian - divorced two years after he was born. In fact, Reeves would not enjoy a close relationship with his father, as the elder Reeves worked as an unskilled laborer and earned his GED while imprisoned in Hawaii for selling cocaine at the Hilo airport. Reeves' mother relocated her son and daughter Kim several times over the next few years; first to ... Continue Bio >>

Following years of bad blood, Ace Frehley and Peter Criss have opted out of appearing in what's being billed as the definitive Kiss documentary, You Wanted The Best You Got The Best. Classic Rock magazine spoke to director Alan G. Parker, who's behind the officially sanctioned film, and he shed light on why the two co-founders are staying away from anything having to do with Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley, explaining, "Gene and Paul were shocked at first, but now they don't seem to be. There's been so much bitchiness down the years, and so much said about and done to Ace and Peter that they interpreted the request to be in the movie as a favor to Gene and Paul. Because of that they won't go anywhere near it. The negotiations were interesting to say the least."
In the end Parker will use footage shot of Frehley and Criss by band archivist -- and current lead guitarist -- Tommy Thayer back in 2001. In addition to Thayer and current drummer Eric Singer, Parker has filmed interviews with former guitarist Bruce Kulick and his brother Bob Kulick -- who performed on many of the band's studio tracks. Parker also held, "positive meetings" with the family of Eric Carr, the band's late drummer, who replaced Peter Criss in 1980 and died of heart cancer in 1991.
With a few more interviews still to undertake, Parker "hopes to show the finished film to the band in February or March, followed by a spot at the Cannes Film Festival in May and a worldwide opening in the autumn of 2014."
Former Kiss filmmaker Tommy Thayer now "portrays" Frehley's character in Kiss' live show. Unlike Frehley's original replacement Vinnie Vincent -- who was given his own unique persona -- fans have had mixed reactions to Thayer duping some fans into thinking Frehley is still playing with the band. Thayer looks at it from a theatrical, rather than a historical perspective: "You've had different guitarists in and out of the band, and different members -- at this point, if you start introducing new characters and new makeup designs and things, that I think that it really dilutes the whole core and, y'know, the original foundation of what Kiss is. And those four original characters are certainly the whole basis of it. To change that and come up with a new design or character, it just convolutes things."
Ace Frehley left Kiss after the band's 2002 Farewell dates, saying afterwards that he took the word "farewell" seriously.
Peter Criss claimed that his contract with Kiss wasn't renewed in March 2004.
Both charges have been disputed by Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley.
INTERNET COMMENTS at ClassicRockMagazine.com and UltimateClassicRock.com -- agree or not?
Chuck Thim wrote: "While I agree that Frehley & Criss have shot themselves in the foot numerous times because of their dependecies & most of the time have only themselves to blame, Gene & Paul, (mostly Gene), could've shown more class over the years. The bashing should've ended years ago. A compliment every now & then wouldn't kill him. I can't say I blame Ace & Peter for not participating. That being said, I wouldn't be surprised if they're not just holding out for money. I'm sure they didn't make as much as Gene & Paul through the reunion years. Not sure if it was true, but I had read that Ace owed a lot in back taxes on his Conneticut mansion. Neither he nor Criss have ever been wise with their money. wasn't music a lot more fun before we realized it was a business?"
Brayton Wright wrote: "This film is being paid for by Universal - not Gene/Paul or KISS Co. Alan Parker is the one behind it and his resume is impressive for these documentaries. He has no incentive to lean it to Gene/Paul's favour when it's not them footing the bill. He wouldn't make a biased documentary now if he hasn't before. It'd be detrimental to his reputation as a filmmaker. Ace/Peter passed up on this - the largest platform for their side of the story, honestly. The fans lose on this because they're robbed of everyone's take. Ace/Peter want to have their side told? They just passed on it, and it's a shame."
warptek wrote: "Gene and Paul were shocked at Ace and Peter? Gee, could it be you both have bad mouthed them in the press for years and years, fired Peter, replaced the legendary Ace f****** Frehley with a tribute band replacement? Get real, pompous arrogant pr****. I wish whats left of this once great band would just quietly disappear."
Gary Fox wrote: "they were fired because they couldn't cut it musically or physically anymore"

MUSKEGON, Mich. (WZZM) -- A lakeshore man is speaking with WZZM 13 after he
says a mother tried to hire him to kill her husband. But the plan fell apart
after Carlos Ramos went to police and they set up a sting to arrest her.
Julia Merfeld, 21, was charged Thursday with trying to hire a hit man to
murder her 27-year-old husband. Investigators say they believe Merfeld would
have gone through with the scheme, if not for the courage of Ramos.
"I did what I thought I had to do because I thought that it was serious," he
told WZZM 13.
Ramos says while he and Merfeld were working one night at a Muskegon area
restaurant when she asked him to kill her husband.
"She first came to me in February. She was laughing and joking and I thought
she was kidding. So I did not pay any mind to it," Ramos said.
He didn't tell anyone, hoping it would never come up again, but then three
weeks later it did. "The more she talked about it, she started going into more
details. I was never going to do it. I just could never bring myself to do
something like that," Ramos explained.
Ramos says Merfeld wanted her husband Jacob murdered because divorce would be
too difficult. "She told me 'I'm young and I just want to go out and have fun,
hang out with whoever, and not feel bad about my husband.'"
Ramos says he did some heavy thinking. "If I would have talked her out of it,
she could have said 'you know what-- I am not going to!' and then she still
could have done it anyway. And I would still have to live with that."
After approaching police, an undercover detective, playing the role of a hit
man, arranged a meeting with Merfeld in a parking lot. Thursday, a Muskegon
judge gave police the authority to make an arrest and charge Merfeld with a
felony that could carry punishment of life in prison if she is found guilty.
"I knew she was serious about getting it done. I knew she would be arrested,
And I do not regret doing what I did by telling the authorities," said Ramos.
Police say Julia Merfeld's motive was a $400,000 life insurance police she
hoped to collect. The Merfelds have two children, who are on vacation this week
in New Jersey with their grandparents. The hit on her husband was to happen this
week while the children were away.

NSRA Nationals South - Trucking To KnoxvilleWritten by Gerry Burger on August 22, 2011 Hauling to the Show NSRA Style |
It was just a few years ago that NSRA finally gave up on the pre-'48 format and opened their events to later-model cars and trucks. The results have been good, with a lot of great vehicles from the '50s to the late '70s rolling into their events. Of course this made for a whole new look to the NSRA events, but what really captured our eye was the amazing number of trucks that now attend NSRA events. Maybe that's because a lot of people who own a street rod also own a classic truck, but we like to think it is because trucks and hot rods just go together perfectly.
Speaking of perfect, this year the weather was ideal and over 2,000 cars and trucks poured into the Chilhowee Fairgrounds for the weekend. There were plenty of pre-'48 trucks on hand, but no doubt the largest groups of trucks were the F-1 and F-100 followed by the '48-55 Chevy and the C10 crowd from '67-72. But in and among these more popular haulers we found a lot of different trucks too, Internationals, Studebakers, early Dodges, and even one or two Hudsons. As for trucking trends, it was all on hand, from ratty to refined there was a truck for every budget.
The vendor area is always a popular place to spend time and virtually everything you need to modify a truck could be purchased from one of the many vendors. Out in the swap meet there was an abundance of old truck "stuff." While this is not a real big swap meet it is a cool deal because all of the spots are under cover, so rain or shine you buy, sell, or trade at the swap meet.
We always enjoy going to Knoxville, there is a lot to see and do in the area and we never seem to tire of getting together with a couple thousand like-minded friends for a weekend. If you've never been to the NSRA Nats South mark it down on your calendar for next year. As always, it will be the first weekend in May and you can bet we'll be there too. CT

Paula Shank, a 31-year-old racer from Petersburg, Va., isn't afraid to mix it up with the big boys in the AMA ATV Extreme Dirt Track National Championship Series.
Shank not only captured her fifth consecutive Women's championship in 2012, but she also finished first in the Unlimited A class and seventh in the Pro-Am Unlimited class, racing some of the best men racers in America.
And for Shank, winning never gets old.
"I feel great and excited about winning both the Women's and Unlimited A Championships this year. I also feel very proud because this was 5th consecutive Women's Championship," Shank says.
But the victories didn't come easy. She says all the competitors in the Women's class are tough and keep her on her toes. Her fiercest competition in the Unlimited A class came from her teammate, TC Gordy of Germanton, N.C. That championship was decided at the last race.
"The Pro-Am Unlimited class, where I finished seventh, included many great pro and amateur riders," Shank says.
Winning takes a lot of concentration. Here's how she tackles the track on the first lap:
"I pull up to the line and pick a good starting spot. I clean my starting spot off and heat up my tires. The starter gives the sign to start the bikes. I pull the clutch in and put my quad in second gear. When the starter points at me, I immediately look at the light and hold steady on the gas. When the light turns green, I dump the clutch and get on the gas," Shank says.
"My goal is to get to turn 1 first. I go as fast as I can and as long as I can into the first turn, pull the front brakes in and tap the back brakes to set the bike up for the turn and slip the clutch to get through the turn and out of the turn as fast as possible," she says.
"I continue racing the entire track and concentrate as much as possible. I try to get down the straight sections and through the turns clean and as fast as possible. I don't let up until I see the checkered flag," she says.
Shank pilots a Honda 450R, which she says "handles great, runs awesome and is fast."
Like other competitors in the AMA ATV Extreme Dirt Track National Championship Series, Shank enjoys the family atmosphere of the races and hanging out with her family and friends. She also enjoys technical tracks, where she excels.
She's no newcomer to ATV racing, having started riding a quad at the age of 5 while growing up in Clyde, Pa.
"I went to a race with my brother and decided I wanted to start racing ATVs," she says.
"I began racing in 1990 on a Suzuki 50cc. I continued racing by competing on an 80cc Automatic and then an 80cc Modified. While racing the 80cc Stock and Modified ATVs, I won multiple District 5 (Western Virginia, Western Pennsylvania) championships," Shank says.
"Then, in 1996, I moved up to racing a Honda 250R and began racing the AMA ATV National Motocross Series in the Women's class. I continued racing the AMA ATV National GNC Series from 1996 to 2000 when the series consisted of half motocross and half TT races," she says.
"In 2001, The AMA decided to split the AMA ATV GNC Series into two different series. There was a motocross series that consisted of 10 to 12 races and a TT series that consisted of six to eight races. I continued to compete in the AMA GNC series and rode a few of the races in the TT series," she says.
"In 2006, I decided to race the Extreme Dirt Track TT series full time and only raced a few of the AMA motocross races," she says.
When she's not blasting around on an ATV, Shank says she enjoys hanging out with friends, hunting, fishing, watching football and drag racing, and going to the gym or to the movies.
No racer achieves success along. Shank thanks Gordy Racing, Fly Racing, Streamline, Quadtech, Hinson, Rath Racing, Full Flight, Tom's Cycle, Lias Tires/American Racer, K&N Filters, VP Race Fuels, DWT Technology, Victory Motorsports, ESJ Graphics, Exotic Powder Coating "and a BIG thanks to my dad!"

I went to login to the admin panel as normal on port 7071
All I got back was the message "Authentication Failed" (nothing about username/password as you would normally expect?)
I tried it a few more times and still the same
I then used this command to set a new password on the command line for the server
zmprov sp email@example.com newpassword
It returned no error and I used zmprov gaaa to make sure I had the correct e-mail (there is only one admin account)
Once again I tried to login to admin and it is returning the same error.
All users can login fine and I can get to the command line for the server and that is all fine. I have restarted the server incase also and again nothing. I have tried the password reset multiple times. I am starting to get a bit desperate any ideas?
Since all the users can login and get their mail, is there a way I can convert my mail account to a global adminstrator from the command line to try that?
As a side note I have tried admin and email@example.com as the username.

WASHINGTON (AP) — A House committee chairman wants to know whether a retired diplomat who helped lead an independent review of the attack against the U.S. in Benghazi, Libya, will agree to be interviewed by committee investigators.
The former ambassador, Thomas Pickering, already has told the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee that he's willing to testify in public.
GOP Rep. Darrell Issa (EYE'-suh) of California now wants Pickering also to answer questions from committee staff before the hearing.
Pickering and a retired admiral, Mike Mullen, led the Accountability Review Board report of the Sept. 11 attack that killed the U.S. ambassador to Libya, Chris Stevens, and three other Americans.
Republicans have criticized the report and said the leaders should have conducted a full-scale interview with former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton.

Oh yeah and in the top left is a green Irish knot that they said took them 2 hours to make (it is really well done too).
Hi all, a week or so ago I found a beautiful map that had a nice little guide with it. I can't seem to find it anymore (after a while all the names seem the same in the fantasy world lol).
I'm looking for a map that is old toned (brownish) and it was created by a guy that used adobe photoshop.
The thread (it appeared like so)
"150 layers used"
I can't remember any more info, but I really want to find and read the process he/she used. Thank you all if you can help, it was on the 1st page of either the general, the cartographers pick, finished maps, or the "regional/overworld" subforum. I've been looking for 2 hours and can't seem to find it.
Thank you,
Oh yeah and in the top left is a green Irish knot that they said took them 2 hours to make (it is really well done too).
No one knows what I'm talking about? I can't find it because it seems the threads in all the things aren't in chronological order.... been through 4 pages on each of the sub-forums I thought and nothing.
I think I remember seeing the map you're talking about, and I believe it was in the Finished Maps forum, but I can't recall any details beyond that; sorry.

JOHN O'CONNOR, Associated Press
SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) - Members of Illinois religious groups -- from Catholic to Muslim -- have sent every state lawmaker a letter calling gay marriage "dangerous" to religious freedom.
The letter sent Wednesday is signed or supported by leaders of more than 1,700 churches, congregations and faith groups. It was given to The Associated Press in advance.
A legislative proposal to grant same-sex marriage could come before the Senate on Wednesday night. Proponents say it would legalize civil marriage. Religious organizations would not have to recognize them.
But the letter says religious freedom extends beyond the house of worship. A law would "compel" faith groups to treat same-sex unions as the equivalent of traditional marriage.

May 28, 2016
The Bush administration on Friday dropped the federal terrorism alert level one step, to yellow, saying intelligence pointing to an imminent attack has decreased.
The higher orange alert lasted 10 days. No domestic terrorist strikes were attempted during that period.
"The intelligence community has concluded the number of indicators and warnings that led to raising the threat level have decreased, and the heightened vulnerability associated with the Memorial Day holiday has passed," said Brian Roehrkasse, spokesman for the Department of Homeland Security.
The new level, yellow, indicates an elevated risk of terrorist attack, while the old level, orange, means a high risk.
Yellow is the middle level on a five-color scale. The lowest two levels, green and blue, and the highest, red, have not been used since the system was adopted in March 2002.
The alert level was raised on May 20 after terrorists believed linked to al-Qaida struck in Saudi Arabia and Morocco. Seventy-five people were killed, including eight Americans.
Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge said it was feared the incidents could mark the beginning of a wave of worldwide attacks that could include U.S. targets.

I guess I'm somewhat neutral on the issue. I have a problem with anyone who puts the chance at an animal above their ability. I don't know that range matters. I have shot steel out to 1500 yards and it was a blast (pun intended) but the gun I was using would not be practical in the field. If people can shoot 1000 yard and make a kill shot without question that doesn't really bother me. I remember having an old relative of mine give me a hard time because I shot with a scope. Is sitting on a rock at 1000 yards shooting an unsuspecting animal any less ethical than sitting in a tree shooting an unsuspecting animal. Neither animal has any clue they are in danger and either hunter has a chance at making a bad shot. For me being out hiking, pushing myself, experiencing views and situations that very few ever have is what hunting is about. A shot at an animal is an added bonus.
The real question I have is, as technology increases peoples ability to make quality long range shots will also increase, at what point will the ethical line be drawn? Some of you have said it has been drawn already and a 1000 yard shot is beyond the limit of ethical hunting. If that is the case then at what distance does ethics become a factor and why? Is it because you don't feel comfortable beyond that distance even though someone else may?

Sencha, what is the status of this? Forum is still showing "Wait! Looks like we don't have enough information to add this to bug database." although I have created a bug report in format you expect in this thread.
20 Oct 2012 11:06 PM #12
I have looked into this and there appears to be some issue with using the models, views and stores configs within controllers and the generated bootstrap.js. The Jira id for this issue is SDKTOOLS-217. I did notice that this issue was resolved if you use requires instead of the previously mentioned configs.
requires: ['MyApp.store.MyStore']

, fmoseley@ thx, finally, 3 weeks that's a lot, too much to inspect such a minor bug. Regarding 'requires', yes I know, and the issue wasn't a blocker for us.
5 Nov 2012 6:41 PM #14
fmoseley, using "requires" is not a solution, is just an inconvenient alternative.
"requires" does not generate getters, also, does not instantiate the stores.
This is definitively a bug that has to be resolved ASAP, cause new people trying to adopt Cmd structure will end up bald!

This should be fixed in Sencha Cmd 3.0 GA (220.127.116.11). The issue had to do with how the metadata contained complete file names but the MVC namespace resolver was expecting path prefixes to define namespaces.
You will need to do a "sencha app refresh" to refresh the bootstrap.js file to get this to work.Don Griffin

I am currently migrating our app to use Sencha Cmd (GA) + ExtJS 4.1.3.
I have this very same problem when I build my app with Cmd GA. All stores,views,models don't get loaded prior to the controller declaration. If I put a require statemnt in the controller, then it will load the class.
I have posted a thread about this in Sencha Cmd forum. Can anybody confirm that this is indeed fixed ?

yes, is fixed, just do app refresh.

First I'm new to zimbra and I'm still learningthe ins and outs of the system.
I'm currently in the process of building collaboration suite server with Zimbra-3.0.1_GA_197 on a debian Sarge (3.1) system. I installed Zimbra on a freshly installed and configured system.
I read here that zimbra is using UTF-8 for encoding. But does the system hosting zimbra need to have it's locales set to UTF-8 to? Would it make any difference if I configured my server's local in UTF-8?
I'm asking because I'm having some issues with french language accents. It works fine in emails body and subject but If I attach a file in wich name there is an accent like for example "à vendre.txt" the recipient gets instead of the à a capital Y with the same accent. It does the same for every accents used in the name of the file attached.
It does that only if a message is sent and receaved using the web interface.
I tryed this on a mac and a PC, since OSX is native utf-8, I thought it would work but no.
Can this be a bug?
I did try to change the server's local to fr_CA_UTF-8 but it did not fix the problem. But this is the reason why I asked if it would be better to use the UTF-8 for the server's locale in the first place.
What do you think?

Deschutes Brewery's Third Annual Chocolate Beer Dinner was an event I won't soon be forgetting. The five course meal, created by Chefs Katrina Spatrisano, Matt Neltner and Jeff Latino, was thoughtfully prepared and presented to the diner like an edible masterpiece. Equal thanks must go to Brewers Paul Arney and Jimmy Seifrit, as the beer pairing with each course was innovative, balanced, and unlike anything I had ever tasted.
Being my first visit to Deschutes Brewery's Mountain Room for a beer dinner, I had no idea what to expect. Familiar faces lit with satisfied smiles greeted me from all corners of the room and the servers were well versed in the beers, suggesting I imbibe in the White Chocolate Cream Ale to pair with the passed appetizer.
As we slowly settled into out table and met our dining partners (love the assigned seating!), the seated appetizer of Coconut Lemongrass Aromatherapy Soup appeared at our places along with its beer pairing, a light and refreshing Lemon Lager.
"We designed this meal to be a total sensory experience, unlike any beer dinner we've done before," Seifrit explained, as we devoured our soup. "We want you to see, taste, feel, and smell as never before."
I began to understand what he meant as the salad course arrived at the table. Laying over brilliant greens, the perfectly cooked Chocolate-Spice Rubbed Steak begged to be devoured. Bitter cocoa nibs scattered over the edge of the plate provided a subtle chocolate flavor that brought balance to the tart dressing and rich beef. Raspberry Green Lakes Organic Amber topped with Chocolate Mousse was the pairing, and it is by far the most creative beer I have ever tasted. The foam lingered on the surface of the beer, adding a light chocolate flavor to each tart and refreshing sip.
As our salad plates were cleared, the third beer pairing arrived. This was the one I'd been waiting for, the description had taunted me for weeks; Double Black with a Smoked Salt Rim. The colorful Murray River salt was a gorgeous contrast against the mysterious, inky black beer, and the salt opened the citrus and pepper flavors within the complex brew.
Paired with this incredible ale was an even more amazing plate, the entrée of Seared Duck Breast with Orange Honey Wort Glaze, Malted Peruvian Potatoes, and Ale Braised Winter Greens. The moist, tender duck was nestled into a beautiful purple puree, while the greens provided a vivid contrast around the rim of the plate. The bitterness of the greens bit through the rich meat, while the sweet citrus glaze lingered on the palate, intermingling with chocolate and citrus from the Double Black.
My belly screamed no dessert, but before I could object, a glass of Double Chocolate Nitro Stout was in my hand, and the most incredible dessert I have ever seen was placed before me. A Flourless Chocolate Torte layered with Black Butte Porter Pastry Cream and topped with Spun Sugar, shimmering like a spider web in morning dew. I cracked through the hard shell and Porter cream oozed onto my plate. Its pudding-like consistency was so satisfying, and the unusual crunch of the spun sugar just added to the experience. The torte itself was rich and flavorful, but not overly sweet. The addition of nitrogen in the beer swept smoothly over the palate, and was the perfect wrap-up to an incredible meal.

The US version of Star Wreck has been released today. See the US trailer above and their website at starwreckmovie.com.
You can buy the DVD from Amazon, or rent it from Netflix.
So how does it feel?
Honestly, back in 2005 we would have laughed at the idea of the film being released in the US. The whole idea of a Finnish film being sold there seemed far-fetched. But times change, Star Wreck isn't even the only Finnish film released this month! The origins-of-Santa-Claus-film Christmas Story came out couple of days ago. Also low-budget horror Skeleton Crew from our friends from Ylöjärvi came out last month.
It seems that after Star Wreck and Jade Warrior the whole film industry has loosened their tie and opened couple of buttons from the well-starched shirt. And suddenly this more relaxed Finnish film has made sone new friends. And the best is yet to come, there are interesting projects going on, including a film adaptation of 80′s cult superhero comic Peräsmies that will absolutely destroy Hancock.
We Finns tend to compare ourselves to our neighboring countries, expecially Sweden that has always been more popular in foreign countries. And going down that road,w ell we still have a long way to go before Finland produces a game changing film like Let the Right One In. But it's good to remember that before letting the right one in the best known Swedish vampire film was Frostbitten that was bit of a mess, even though it included a nazi vampire scientist.
Let's hope that four years from now things have changed for the better once again.
Edit: Turns out November has seen a real Finnish invasion of the land of the free. Another DVD released yesterday was L.A Without a Map, from Finnish director Mika Kaurismäki who almost always casts Kari Väänänen – L.A Without a Map being one of the few exeptions. But Väänänen plays the Russian president in Star Wreck and Iisakki in Christmas Story.
Edit2: Turns out AJ Annila's awesome horror film Sauna was also released just last month.

Created in: Fractal Terrains, Wilbur, Illustrator, Photoshop
This map is part of a huge project I have been working on called Etarek - a high-tech world that I am creating from the tectonics upwards. Having created a couple of world maps (which I certainly need to revisit and revise) as well as experimenting with regional maps, this is the first regional map I am truly happy with. More maps in this style will follow and I will endeavour to include a WIP for the next one too. Apologies for the lack of a key - I will create one, but since this will form part of an atlas I thought the key would probably be on a separate page near the beginning.
Kanthor is a peninsula on the far south of the continent Ohelusai. It is situated on the equator and, as such is largely covered by tropical rainforest, although much of this has been felled for industry, agriculture and living-space. It is the seat of some of the most technologically-advanced nations on Etarek, as well as some of its largest cities, including the sprawling Matjafesa, the Agamaha-Nihlesa megacity and Sabarat - capital of Kanthagamena and domain of the Toregi Chairman, the most powerful oligarch in Etarek's world economy.

Day 2 of the Car Craft Summer NationalsWritten on July 17, 2010
Day two of the 2010 Car Craft Summer Nationals presented by GM Performance Division began as advertised. The Minnesota State Fairgrounds was absolutely packed with cars, spectators, vendor displays, performance parts and all the sights and sounds of automotive Utopia.
Cruising and walking around the Fairgrounds was the name of the game today as there was so much to see and do that you couldn't walk 15 feet in a straight line without wanting to take out your camera phone and send a taunting picture to your friends unlucky enough not to be here. Below, you can check out our exclusive photos and videos from the biggest day of the CCSN.

With the holidays right around the corner, this weekend promises plenty of twinkling lights, Christmas songs and the one gift the three wise men forgot: booze.
Singer-songwriter Feist and award-winning filmmaker Martin de Thurah will present a musically-charged evening at the Contemporary Arts Center April 9. Feist and de Thurah (who's worked with Kanye West, Fever Ray and Röyksopp) will discuss the creative process of creating a music video, a perfect event to coincide with the CAC's current exhibit Spectacle: The Music Video.
The duo will present a video screening followed by a talk moderated by Spectacle curator and Flux creative collective member Jonathan Wells. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. for the 7 p.m. event, and admission is $15 for CAC members, $20 for everyone else. There will be a cash bar. Buy tickets in advance here.
Feist and de Thurah collaborated on the singer's video for "The Bad in Each Other."
The CAC has hosted some exceptional events lately, bringing electronic musician Dan Deacon to Spectacle's opening party this February, and welcoming street artist Shepard Fairey back to DJ a reception in his honor just last week. This is sure to be another full house party.

Somehow Saturday morning Jeff and I woke up bright and early. Flavor Flav must have sprinkled some magic dust on us the night before, because we weren't our usual hungover pieces of shit, writhing under covers 'til noon. For this special occasion, we headed to the famous Loveless Motel & Cafe (8400, Tennessee 100, Bellevue), a comfort food mecca and Nashville landmark. Hundreds of country musicians and otherwise famous humans hung their hats here when it was a hotel and have stopped in for grub since it's been a restaurant (seriously, there are countless autographed head shots covering every square inch of the walls).
This past summer's World Choir Games brought a whirlwind of music and visitors from across the globe to our back yard. Cincinnati's own MUSE women's choir was awarded a gold medal at the Games and tonight the group makes its first public appearance since that award-winning performance. "Keep Yo' Lamps Burnin" features African-American traditional songs and spirituals to be performed at various venues Friday-Sunday. Go here for the full schedule and ticket information.
This weekend, Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra welcomes Louis Langrée for his first concert as Music Director Designate. The French conductor is also Chief Conductor of the Camerata Salzburg and the music director of the Mostly Mozart Festival in New York. The concert (11 a.m. Friday and 8 p.m. Saturday) is, fittingly, an all-French program featuring César Franck's Symphony in D minor, Olivier Messiaen's Les Offrandes Oubliées and Camille Saint-Saëns's Piano Concerto No. 2. For tickets and more information, go here.
The Heights Music Festival brings more than 40 area acts to the UC area Friday and Saturday. The Frankl Project, The Guitars, Oui Si Yes and lots more local talent will fill Rohs Street Café (all ages), Baba Budan's, Mac's Pizza Pub and Christy's Biergarten. Single-night tickets are $5 in advance/$8 at the door; full weekend passes are $10/$12.
If you've been looking for an excuse to break out your Goodwill'ed tweed suit, you're in luck! Sounding like something straight out of Portlandia, The City of Cincinnati Bike Program is organizing an old-school Tweed Ride Saturday. Grab your wool skirts, wax your handlebar mustache and dust off your newsboy cap for a dapper ride about town. Riders should meet at O'Bryonville's Owls Next Park at 2 p.m. for the 8-mile, slow-paced flat ride.
The Moerlein Lager House is ready to kick off the holiday season Saturday with a Beer and Breweriana Extravaganza noon-4 p.m. In what they're calling "one part holiday beer tasting and one part Antiques Roadshow," guests can sip seasonal brews while getting free appraisals on beer memorabilia and steins. Authors Mike Morgan and Don Tolzmann will be on hand to sign their Cincinnati brewing books and Jim Effler will sell his beer label artwork and posters. Stick around for lunch and dinner to enjoy a full Cincy-centric day.
Check out our calendar for a full list of theater shows, art exhibits, events, concerts and more to do this weekend and beyond.
Four Entertainment Group (4EG) is the driving force behind nine of the most popular bars and restaurants in the area. While it would be difficult to drink at each location in one night (and possibly damaging to the liver), 4EG is bringing all of their venues to Fountain Square tonight. Try specialty cocktails, beers, wine and signature dishes from aliveOne, Keystone Hyde Park, Keystone Covington, The Lackman, The Stand, Mount Adams Pavilion, The Righteous Room, The Sandbar and Tap & Go as you get down to music from DJ Matt Joy and Bad Veins. Head down to the square from 5-10 p.m. and if you're on Foursquare, be sure to check in — the mayor of these venues will receive a prize.
On second Saturdays, Northside is the place to be. Celebrate the eclectic neighborhood and support local businesses by visiting some of the dozens of participating galleries, shops, restaurants and bars. Visitors will enjoy extended hours, drink and food specials, sales and unique promotions at places like Nvision, Mayday, Take the Cake, C&D, Tantrum, Skincraft and many more. Find a full list of participating businesses here.
Check out Stage Door for this weekend's theater offerings, our music blog for a live show lineup and our To Do page for more events, art shows, performances and more this weekend.
Here are some words by CityBeat Music Editor Mike Breen about Willie's life and legendary status, which he says transcends music. ("Nelson isn't a Country music icon — he's an American music icon.")
So it's kind of weird sometimes to think about Willie Nelson being tight with people like Toby Keith — a decidedly uncool guy who writes songs about the U.S. military putting a boot in anyone's ass who messes with America and opens cheesy Country music-themed restaurants around the country.
But for every terrorist that Keith convinced via threat of violence not to attack America, there are many people who have enjoyed a song that Keith co-wrote about participating in Willie Nelson's favorite pastime: smoking the weedus.
It turns out that Toby
Keith can be self-depreciating and kind of likable (if you can
somehow keep the image of this goatee out of your mind while you
listen to the song). So here it is, in honor
of Willie's 79th, "I'll Never Smoke Weed With Willie Again"
by Toby Keith and Scott Emerick.

Audrey's Women of Influence | Somaly Mam, Co-founder and President of the Somaly Mam Foundation
Posted By Ada Tseng On August 27, 2013 @ 7:17 pm In News | Comments Disabled
Article: WOMEN OF INFLUENCE
Influence comes in many forms, from high-profile advocates who are shaping ideas on an international stage to local heroes who are breaking barriers and defying expectations in their own communities. In our inaugural series celebrating influential Asian American women, Audrey Magazine highlights eight newsmakers, activists, leaders and trailblazers who encourage us to pursue our dreams, explore the unknown, and stand up for those without a voice.
by Ada Tseng
"When I was in the brothels, I felt like I had died inside, even though my body was alive," says Somaly Mam, a former human trafficking victim who has dedicated her life to ending the sex slave trade around the world. "I would have loved for someone to help me, but there was nobody I could call or trust. These memories inspire me to do what I am doing today. You cannot forget, but you can forgive and love again."
After being orphaned as a child during Cambodia's Khmer Rouge rule, Mam was forced into prostitution by an abusive man she called "grandfather," and she suffered for many years until a French aid worker helped her escape Cambodia in 1993. Mam says that at the time, she had no idea that she would devote herself to this cause, eventually co-founding the French nonprofit foundation AFESIP in 1996 and, in 2007, becoming the president and face of the Somaly Mam Foundation, which supports victim services, eradication efforts, and survivor empowerment from their New York Headquarters. Somaly and her team have rescued over 7,000 women and girls to date, and have touched the lives of tens of thousands more through peer education and outreach efforts.
"My life immediately changed the day I met a girl named Tom Dy who suffered from HIV/AIDS," says Mam. "She reminded me of my past life in the brothels, and I immediately took her home with me because I wanted her to feel safe. There are more and more girls who need help to build new lives with dignity, but how? It takes five minutes to save them from brothels, but what are you going to do with them? This is the challenge."
Mam not only participates in raids to help girls as young as 5 escape, but the foundation provides shelters and rehabilitation programs that help reintegrate the victims into the world. When Mam first started AFESIP, she asked trusted friends to help teach the girls how to sew; nowadays, there is education provided for the younger girls, and career training for the older ones, from hairdressing to computer skills and English-language classes.Eradicating human trafficking, now the second most profitable criminal enterprise, requires more global attention. At the Clinton Global Initiative meeting in 2012, President Obama named human trafficking as a national priority, and he became the first ever U.S. president to visit Cambodia. However, a 2013 UN report stated that people trafficked now come from at least 118 countries — 58 percent are for sexual exploitation and most are women, with the number of children increasing.
"When you see a woman sitting on the street, ask yourself who she is, what her story might be, where she might come from," says Mam. "If she had a choice, maybe she would have chosen something different for her life. Please do not look down on her. Please do not abuse her further. There are a lot of problems in the world, and human trafficking is only part of the larger problem of the breakdown of values and connection between people."
Mam not only provides this connection for her girls who call her "Mom," but she encourages them to speak out for themselves through the foundation's Voices of Change program, run by survivor Sina Vann. Some of the girls also host the "Somaly's Family" anti-trafficking radio show in Cambodia to spread awareness. By empowering the victims, they are, in a sense, creating a powerful legion of mini Somaly Mams.
"I am so proud of the survivors in the program who stand up and advocate for those whose voices are not being heard," says Mam. "There is a young generation of leaders who are engaged in this fight, and that gives me great hope for change."
On the Voices for Change program
Voices for Change is designed to give survivors an opportunity to help themselves by helping others, to have their voices heard in the courts of law and public perception, and to have influence and impact on effectuating change. It is our vision that from those who have struggled through the pain of slavery will arise a new generation of leaders who stand for justice and free will. Some of our survivor-leaders host their own radio talk show, for the purpose of raising awareness in the community: in Cambodia, radio is still the best way to reach the masses.
In collaboration with UNIAP, Voices For Change conduct trainings in combating human trafficking to police, gendarmeries and local authorities who obligate to implement law legislation. In addition, they facilitate a student coalition as [a means of] groundbreaking local activism to combat human trafficking in the next generation.
On watching her girls grow up
My work means so much to me because I watch these children get their childhood back: especially when I see them going to school. Thousands of women have been reintegrated with sustainable livelihoods; some of them have gotten married and now have their own families. I cannot tell you what these stories mean to me. In addition to two girls who are now university students, there are three more girls who have just taken their high school diploma exam in the last couple days. After all they have been through in their lives, they are going to have a degree in the near future.
On Sina Vann, her right-hand woman and the Voices of Change co-director
Sina is a survivor, trafficked when she was 12 years old from Vietnam to Cambodia. She was drugged and locked up, and for many years was forced to take 20 clients a day — if she refused she was beaten. When she came to us, she hated all Cambodians because of what had been done to her. My staff said we could not take her — she was too much a fighter, too violent and unpredictable. She didn't speak Khmer, I didn't speak Vietnamese, but I took her hands in mine and looked her in the eye. I was careful and loving with her, and soon we understood one another. Sina stayed with us — she did not leave! — and as she recovered in the center, she learned Khmer and English and began to show leadership qualities. Now she works in the field every day doing outreach and advocacy, visiting the centers, inspiring the younger girls, and traveling to speaking engagements and conferences.
Who influences you?
Mainly my girls influence me. I see them recovering, going to school and having hope. Secondly, my team's work: they work so hard to support victims and survivors. Thirdly, my team of Voices for Change survivors; they stand up and advocate for those whose voices are not being heard. And all the supporters around the world influence me too. Without them, none of our achievements could have happened.

WHEELING - The man at the top changed, but everything else stayed the same for Wheeling Park on Wednesday, as the Patriots claimed their fifth consecutive OVAC golf championship at Oglebay's Robert Trent Jones Course, the last two in Class 5A.
Sophomore Cole Hand, Park's No. 2 player -and likely a No. 1 at any other school - was buoyed by an eagle on hole 5 and was the only player in the nine-team field to break par as he shot a 69 and led the Patriots to a 302, edging second-place University (314) by 12 strokes.
Rounding out the field was third-place Parkersburg South (330), Morgantown (339), Brooke (345), Cambridge (363), Indian Creek (420), and John Marshall (489).

Wheeling Park's Cole Hand watches his shot fly during the OVAC Class 5A Golf Championships on Thursday at Oglebay's Robert Trent Jones Course.
Hand's day ended a two-year medalist run for teammate Thadd Obecny II, who shot 72 and made the all-tournament team along with University's Trent McPhearson (73) and Eric Wirth (74), Hand, and Parkersburg South's Alex Schreckengost (76).
For Hand, who came in under-par on the Jones Course for the first time in his prep career, it was a good day for the short game.
On No. 5, a 511-yard Par 5, Hand's drive wasn't as far right as he normally hits it, but he drilled a 3-wood to within 30 yards, just in front of the bunker.
From there, ''I chipped it and ran up there and watched it just trickle in right in front of the cup, so that was pretty sweet,'' Hand said.
He had birdie putts set up inside of 10 feet on holes 12-14, but ''I made one of them - wish I could get the other two back,'' he said.
He gave a pair back on 16 and 18, the product of pressure he put on himself after last year's OVAC tourney, when he had a one-stroke lead on Obecny on 17 and coughed it up with a double bogey.
''Cole got a little bit of revenge,'' Wheeling Park coach Don Headley said. ''Cole brought the ship home right side up, and we're in good shape.''
Hand's drive was left on both holes, something he says always happen when the nerves hit, but had a big enough lead to absorb a pair of bogeys this time.
''Having Thadd on my team, it's always a competition,'' Hand said. ''Even if we're playing two teams we might beat by 50, it's always a competition because I always just want to beat him. Even if we're coming out here playing nine holes, I always try real hard because I always want to beat him. And it doesn't happen very often. (Wednesday's round) feels good.
''I think we make each other better players. There's not a whole lot of players around here who can challenge him. Kicking him in the butt every once in a while helps him out.''
Rounding out Wheeling Park's scorers were Dylan Wojcik's 83 and Hunter Bryan's 78.
''Our freshmen really played well,'' Headley said.
Brooke, which finished fourth, was led by Logan Lojszyk's 77. Cambridge's top score came from Trevor Wilkinson (81). Indian Creek's best score was Ian McIntosh's 99, and John Marshall's leader was Collin Griffith's 123.

|FBLA project helps prepare Rural AmeriTowne 6th graders
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
Members of the Holyoke Future Business Leaders of America chapter recently joined forces with Rural AmeriTowne to teach the sixth graders, who are planning to attend Rural AmeriTowne in May, business ethics.
Rural AmeriTowne is a mock economy set up to give grade-schoolers hands-on business experience. Each participant will be interviewed and hired for a position. The kids then go through job training during sixth period every other day in Kristine Ham's class. Ham is the Holyoke Chapter Adviser.
They also learn personal finances, such as how to balance a checkbook, and how to write and deposit checks. On May 12 the kids will travel to Rural AmeriTowne in Wray.
A team of three FBLA members, Kendra Timm, Sydney Nelson and Chasity Pelle, used this opportunity to construct a project, American Enterprise, by taking part in the sixth grade class's learning experiences.
They have developed three lessons they plan to teach the students throughout the year. The team previously visited the classes and demonstrated the "Dos and Don'ts" of interviewing for a job. The class was amused by their mock interviews.
They started with a bad example: gum snapping, feet on the desk, inappropriate attire, etc. They then acted out a good example of an interview, and the kids could easily tell the difference between the two. The team then discussed what to expect when they visit Rural AmeriTowne.
The students were also challenged with an activity involving writing and depositing fake checks. Other plans include a lesson on business and electoral advertising. The kids will then be involved in an advertisement poster-making competition.
The three will review with the class before they attend Rural AmeriTowne by holding a "Knowledge Relay" in the new gym.
The FBLA chapter will interview the entire class to determine professions. Timm, Nelson, Pelle and Ham are planning to go to Rural AmeriTowne with them in May.
They are finishing their report and will attend the State Conference in Vail on April 20-22. They hope to make it to the National Conference this summer in Anaheim, Calif.

Scleroderma (skleer-oh-DUR-muh) is a group of rare diseases that involve the hardening and tightening of the skin and connective tissues — the fibers that provide the framework and support for your body.
In some people, scleroderma affects only the skin. But in many people, scleroderma also harms structures beyond the skin — such as blood vessels, internal organs and the digestive tract. Signs and symptoms vary, depending on which structures are affected.
Scleroderma affects women more often than men and most commonly occurs between the ages of 30 and 50. While there is no cure for scleroderma, a variety of treatments can ease symptoms and improve quality of life.

You're not alone
by Leslie Goldman
Not getting any? You're not alone: Women today have less time for sex than their 1950s counterparts. And it's estimated that 40 million Americans have what experts call a sexless marriage (having sex less than 10 times a year).
A regular sex life is good for your health. It can satisfy all sorts of emotional- and physical-intimacy needs and help partners stay close, says Anita H. Clayton, MD, a professor of psychiatry at the University of Virginia and author of Satisfaction: Women, Sex, and the Quest for Intimacy.
So why the dry spell? You can chalk it up to a sheer lack of time, but there are a slew of other reasons, too—from weight gain and perimenopause to technology overload (stop texting now) in the bedroom. Here's how to beat the top 10 sex busters.

|Written by Rhonda Osborne, LPC, CAC III
Every tax season my husband and I evaluate our expenditures to identify which purchases fall within the "frivolous spending" category. We have a small problem in our household, and though we are reminded daily by the empty cans dispersed throughout the house, garage, cars, shed..., we choose to deny its negative impact—until tax time.
Last year we calculated an approximate $3,000 spent on diet coke. Given that our two children will be college bound in just a few years, and that the cost of a bachelor's degree is well over $100,000, we did what any reasonable couple would do; we bought a soda machine for our home. This allows, of course, to buy pop in bulk form.
Our obvious dysfunction in this area of our lives motivated me, not to reduce my pop consumption, but rather to investigate the impact of pop, more specifically caffeine, on the body. Caffeine of course, is found in numerous products that Americans consume on a daily basis. Soda, chocolate, coffee, tea, vivrin .... all of which contain significant doses of caffeine.
Coffee, in particular, is consumed in substantial quantities around the globe. In fact, according to University Hospital Zurich, Switzerland, coffee/caffeine is the most abundantly consumed stimulant worldwide. So if billions of people are walking around "under the influence" what impact does caffeine really play in the functioning of our world?
Caffeine works as a central nervous system stimulant, increasing blood pressure, plasma catecholamine levels, plasma renin activity, serum free fatty acid levels, urine production, and gastric acid secretion. That sounds pretty serious. However, it does appear that the impact of the stimulus is based on the person's genetic sensitivity to caffeine, as well as the environment in which it is consumed.
Those who identify themselves as "high" caffeine users experience different physiological responses than mild to moderate users. Inexperienced or casual "social" drinkers experience an increase in both blood pressure and muscle sympathetic nervous activity when they consume coffee.
If these same individuals consumed decaffeinated coffee, their physiological response would be the same, indicating that other ingredients in coffee besides caffeine, are responsible for cardiovascular activation. However, those who are habitual users of caffeine, i.e. my husband, minimal change in blood pressure is observed, despite the increase in muscle sympathetic nervous activity. For those of us in denial, the more tolerance to the drug the better the blood pressure response.
Researchers in Portsmouth, U.K. studied attentional bias of habitual caffeine users. They found that while under the influence of caffeine, the participants had greater recognition for caffeine-related words and faster reaction times. Given the argument that all of us hold the responsibility of being aware of drug-related advertising and the presence of the drug itself, the home pop machine makes perfect sense.
A study focusing on the anxiety level of rats under the influence of caffeine found that chronic caffeine ingestion did not induce persistent emotional changes commonly found with other drug abuse, because caffeine withdrawal produced little effect on animal anxiety. However, while under the influence, rats who were kept segregated from the other rats had higher rates of anxiety than those housed alone. Interpretation: drink pop and coffee in the presence of friends to prevent anxiety elevation. No problem.
All in all, caffeine appears to have minimal detrimental effect on the human body. Secondary effects however can include disruption to sleep patterns, gastric upset, interactions with other dietary supplements, and withdrawal symptoms. Withdrawal symptoms from this drug can include headaches, fatigue and reduced alertness.
So how would a caffeine dependent individual interpret such information? In order to minimize the risk of feeling tired, getting a headache, elevating blood pressure, or losing attention/concentration, one should engage in habitual diet coke/coffee consumption, in the presence of others. Great care should be taken to avoid periods of abstinence to which obsessive seeking patterns, drowsiness and psycho motor retardation could occur.

RealCyclist is real good Can't Post
I just wanted to share an experience I had with the people at realcyclist.com. For those of you who don't know, they are the same people that run bonktown, chainlove, huchnroll and I think Backcountry.com and backcountryoutlet.
I ordered a Kreitler flywheel from them. The box broke open in transit. The UPS driver leaned the box up against the door to protect the broken seal, so clearly had noticed it. The flywheel was a little scuffed (no big deal) but the drive belt was missing. I talked to UPS who sent a driver to examine the packaging. There wasn't anything to see because all it was just an open box - the problem was that the box was open when it came to me - so they "resolved" the complaint - meaning they closed it without doing anything.
I called realcyclist, spoke with Tayler who suggested that I send the flywheel back for replacement. I suggested that it might be easier just to order a new belt - I was fully prepared to pay for it. He said he would check their inventory and get back to me. A few hours later I had a voicemail that they didn't have any extra belts but that they would order one from Kreitler for me. Two days later, it showed up at my house, direct from Kreiter.
I'm impressed. That is pretty good service. Although I buy mostly from my LBS, I will probably order from them again.

They say that Christmas is all about the giving.
But a man in Portsmouth, New Hampshire apparently missed the memo.
The Associated Press reports that Heath Blom, 26, and his girlfriend Randi Young, 24, were arrested after an argument over Christmas gifts turned into a brawl.
From the AP:
According to Portsmouth police, Blom was disappointed when he did not receive the $1,000 airplane he had asked for from his grandparents, and was underwhelmed by the gift he received from Young: a Nintendo Wii video game console…
An argument ensued, and Young allegedly hid the gift and began packing her bags. Insults flew, and a fist fight between the two allegedly ended in a two-story tumble down the stairs.
"He dragged me down two flights of stairs, by the hair," Young claimed on Friday… "This was the worst Christmas ever."
The Boston Herald has more.

Rare Finds - Tennessee TorinosWritten by on April 24, 2012
Kevin Guinn knew the brush hid a car. The hills of Tennessee can be dense in places. He says, "I could barely make out the front end of a Torino. I thought, Man alive, very few people get to see stuff like this.
More than a Torino, the '69 proved to be a Cobra. Under the hood was more than a 428 Cobra Jet. The oil cooler hinted at a Drag Pack and thus a Super Cobra Jet 428. The axle code on the trim plate revealed a 3.91-geared Traction-Lok 9-inch rearend, mandatory with the SCJ. All Cobra Jets with the 3.91 axle are Super Cobra Jets.
The funny thing about this find is Kevin owns a '93 Mustang Cobra. He wasn't looking for a '69 Torino Cobra, but the car found him. He says, "I had located a '69 Mach 1, a real low-mile Cobra Jet. It was very well preserved, except they had blown the motor up."
Maybe Kevin would purchase this Ford muscle car if he could find a 428 Cobra Jet. He started looking and got a hot lead in the Johnson City/Jonesboro area. One man told him his neighbor "had one sitting out behind his house." The neighbor was a gentleman in his early 70s named Gene Lockner. "Come to find out some of his relatives lived up here close to where I am," says Kevin. "This was about three years ago last October."
At first, Gene was going to sell the motor. But the Mach 1 "got gone" before Kevin could find a Cobra Jet. Not needing a motor now, he stayed in touch with Gene. Common ground was a dirt track car that Gene raced at Sportsman's Speedway, which is close to where Kevin's grandparents lived in Johnson City. The two car enthusiasts became good friends.
"I went down to his house and it was like time had just stopped," says Kevin.
He found the Torino Cobra in the dense undergrowth. First, he walked past a second Torino Cobra, also a '69, also equipped almost exactly the same way.
Both cars are Super Cobra Jet two-door hardtops with bench seats, ram air, 3.91 Traction-Lok 9-inch axles, and four-speed transmissions. The main difference was the Cobra in the thicket had a factory tachometer in the dash. Also, Gene had removed the second Torino's 428 SCJ for machine work years ago.
Kevin explains, "Apparently they got some grit or something in the bearings. Gene had a 427, four-bolt main block, and he just put all the Cobra Jet stuff over on the 427 block."
Gene bought the Cobra in the thicket brand-new from Towne Gate Ford in nearby Greeneville, Tennessee. The odometer showed 4,000 miles, meaning 104,000; it had obviously turned over.
Gene bought the second Torino Cobra in the mid '70s from a professor at East Tennessee State University in Johnson City. He didn't go looking for this car. The teacher came by his house and offered it to him for $900. He knew Gene had one just like it.
One day Gene told Kevin that he'd like for him to have the 427 Torino. Kevin surprised Gene when he said he would like to buy both Cobras. Gene hesitated. Apparently, another gentleman was interested in the Cobra in the thicket. However, he liked the idea of his two old Cobras going to one place and sold them to his friend at a reasonable price.
Kevin plans to restore the Super Cobra Jet in the thicket. The 427-powered Cobra runs. For now, Kevin is having fun driving this muscle car.

This '69 Torino Cobra escaped public view in the dense Tennessee brush, which was growing over the back of the car. Three of the factory slotted wheels were good, but the fourth was badly rusted.The 428 SCJ in the car in the thicket was not "picked" for parts. Gene brought the air cleaner and other parts out of the house and set them on the engine for this picture.The Cobra in the thicket needs new upholstery and carpet. The wasted air cleaner base on the front seat was from a small-block, not a big-block.Instead of rebuilding the 428 SCJ in the second Torino, Gene fitted the Cobra Jet intake and air cleaner on the four-bolt 427 block.
