Sure BetWritten by on August 1, 2004 Goodguys Del Mar Was at the Front of the Pack
It takes a few key ingredients for a show to be a success. The show grounds have to be comfortable and clean. The surrounding area should be pleasant enough for an evening cruise. And there needs to be lots of classic trucks and hot rods. One event that has met all three of these requirements is the Goodguys Rod & Custom Nationals in Del Mar, California. Although only in its fourth year, this show has quickly became one of SoCal's must-do events.
The Del Mar show is always one of our favorites because it's close enough for us to drive some of our own hot rods and it's the kick-off for our Top Ten awards. The event is held at the fairgrounds and horse track and had several buildings housing some of the premier hot rods from around the country. The weather was a little questionable for those less adventurous the night before the show, but by Friday morning everything was as it should have been. The location right by the beach helps keep the temperature down to a comfortable level so you can walk and check out the rides without feeling like your going to get heatstroke.
After a couple of years of cutting the vehicle entry date off at '64, Goodguys opened it up to '72 this year, which is perfect for those of us with automotive tastes that venture out to anything with wheels. Not only were there more classic trucks in attendance, but the muscle cars also had a good showing.
Just when the show's over for the day, there's more fun to be had cruising along the Southern California coastline afterhours, taking in the sights and some good eating. What more could you want? I know we'll be back next year.

We've been seeing more and more longbeds showing up looking every bit as good as the shortbeds they've been taking a back seat to. The big Boyd Coddington rims with tall-profile tires help to keep this one in proportion.Although it is still under construction, Dawn Hayhurst's '64 Suburban was right up our alley. Check out the modern-style side glass that covers the stock post.It wasn't too far of run over from Vista for Pete and Darlene Dimuzio and their Chevy-powered '48 F-1. The basically stock-bodied beauty had just enough little custom touches to keep onlookers busy.The manufacturers row and exhibits always provide plenty of interesting things. Sitting in the No Limit booth was the chassis for the Effie that has become affectionately known as "The Princess." It's been a few years in the making, but mark our words, this truck will soon be one of the most famous F-100s around.The year 1963 was a bit of a transitional year for Ford trucks. Most people's assumption when seeing the old slab-sided beds mated with the new cab was that the bed was swapped at some point. The story we heard was that Ford sold these trucks in rural areas (where a truck is meant to work) until they depleted their stash of older beds. No matter, Lindsey Karnopp loves her '63 all the same. She built it along with her father as her first vehicle to drive to high school and did a lot of the work herself.Here's a combination that can't be beat. A pale blue '56 Custom Cab with steelies looks good today and will look good 20 years from now.You didn't have to bring out a finished truck to enjoy the show. Jan Fick brought out this '51 F-1 that still needs some interior attention all the way out from Tucson. A 460ci big-block backed by a C6 provided plenty of power, if not MPG.
We finally got Roger and Judi Bart's '57 Chevy on film (a Top Ten recipient from last year). Look for the BMW Atlantis Blue hauler in an upcoming issue.Del Mar has a great cruise circuit. We saw some trucks that were on the move all weekend more than they were parked.You might remember Doug Barnett's '57 Chevy as one of the big winners at the Brothers show last year. He has since added a custom airbag setup where the front shocks parallel the top of the frame. If we didn't see it ourselves, we wouldn't have believe it.Biggies and 'bags can make anything look better, but when the truck already looked as good as Spencer Osborn's resto '71 C10, you have a homerun. Boyd Coddington 19- and 20-inch rolling stock and the Hugger Orange paint made for a combo that was hard to beat.Plucked straight from the "Young Guns" section, Scott Tomkins' '57 Suburban has a total of 5 1/2 inches whacked out of the roof--3 out of the windows and 2 1/2 out of the crown. The truck sits at a nice height, and the Baer brakes are shown-off through the 17-inch Boyds wheels.Leave it to a duo like Totally Polished and Kal Koncepts to make a '50 Chevy panel look this wild. Joe Freas' big-block-powered monster was MII clipped, four-linked, and 'bagged by TP before KK shot the bright yellow paint with pearl orange flames and tear graphics.If you want to know just how straight your truck is, paint it black. Al Ubrun did just that with his '56 F-100 and couldn't be happier. No Limit Engineering built the pickup on a modified chassis fitted with 'bags and a 468ci big-block with a Street & Performance EFI. The 17-inch Wheel Vintique Cruzers drive the combination home.Jeff Jordan showed up with his just-finished Torch Red '56 Chevy rolling on 20x10 and 18x8 Intros. A built 406ci small-block turned heads as he cruised around the grounds. The straight axle was ditched in favor of an '82 Camaro IFS.
Larry Thweatt's '48 F-1 was a family affair. The stock frame was beefed up in preparation for the tunnel ram-equipped 460 Ford big-block and Total Cost Involved four-link Pro-Street suspension with a Currie-built 9-inch rearend. Larry went out and salvaged a Mustang II frontend and built his own crossmember. He turned to his daughter when it was time to stitch the interior.We see Jim and Karyn Cripps with their '38 Ford pickup just about everywhere we go, so we figured it was about time for an award. There's a 289/C4 combo under the hood and Radir wide white cheater slicks under the rear fenders.

ATLANTA -- As we kick off 2013, our focus is on ways to keep money in your wallet.
Perhaps the biggest money jolt this year will be the cash you will not be getting as the Government takes back a 2 percent tax cut it gave you in 2010 to fund Social Security. Now it's back.
RELATED | Tax assistance Help Desk resource page
That means on a $40,000 a year income; you'll be out $67 a month.
But there is a way around it according to Georgia State Finance Professor Conrad Ciccotello.
"If you are going to get a refund you had too much tax withheld last year. If your circumstances haven't changed you should have less cash withheld this year. That's the W-4 form, and it's done by increasing the number of allowances. Bump it up one and you can get close to offsetting the social security tax," Ciccotello said.
When it comes to getting that refund, take a deep breath.
The IRS has delayed the start of electronic filing until January 22, which means, "People that get refunds in either late January or early February probably the earliest they will be getting it is a week before Valentine's Day," says James Robertson, of H&R Block in Marietta.
With a few weeks left before electronic filing, and you can offset what you pay the Government with another deduction.
"Fund retirement accounts. You can still do that until the time you file your tax return and that will lower your tax bill," Robertson said.
As you move into 2013, keep one thing in mind: cash is king.
"People who start out in the same place financially can end up in very differences places. It's explained by how well you understand what you spend. Cash is the best budgeting tool of all time because if you don't have any in your pocket you can't spend," Ciccotello said.
Ciccotello says that doesn't mean turn to plastic. When the cash runs low, he said, stop spending.

Atomic Aquatics B2 Regulator Why Brass & Titanium? Even though the use of multi-layer chrome plated Brass for the body of the first stage is a more conventional material choice... the performance of the B2 is truly superior to any other rival. Atomic designed our signature breathing performance into the B2 to give a diver the perfect combination of comfort, style and value. The main design difference? The total weight of the B2 is only 9 ounces more than the T2. The Most Awarded Atomic Regulator Virtually identical performance as the T2 with a Brass First Stage The B2 gives divers an close alternative to the all-Titanium T2. The signature Atomic breathing performance is nearly identical. The B2 is ergonomically designed to be the world's most comfortable second stage just like the T2. The key difference is the chrome-plated Brass body of the B2 first stage, which is more economical without sacrificing performance. That's why the B2 has garnered more awards from independent tests and reviews than any other regulator on the market.
First Stage: First stage materials are chrome-plated Brass and 316 Stainless Steel Atomic Jet Seat high-flow piston first stage Optional factory-sealed first stage to prevent outside contamination such as silt and sand and prevent freezing Nitrox ready for mixtures up to 40% First stage ports: 2 HP fixed / 5 LP on swivel cap Second Stage: All-Titanium second stage construction same as Atomic T2 Patented Atomic Seat Saving Orifice Patented Atomic Automatic Flow Control (AFC) Rapid adjustment knob for manual second stage de-tuning in special situations Polished 316 Stainless Steel Atomic Comfort Swivel A new high-flow second stage case that significantly lowers breathing effort at any depth from shallow water to beyond the limits Dual material second stage cover enables entire front to be used for purge Dual silicone comfort fit mouthpiece with tear-resistant bite tabs 2 year/300 dive service interval Limited Lifetime Warranty – not contingent on proof of service Optional color kits available Here are some important answers to frequent questions regarding Atomic regulators...
What is Natural Breathing? Atomic Aquatics has achieved what no other manufacturer has in a high-performance regulator – Natural Breathing. All Atomic regulators breathe with a natural and controlled air delivery sensation at any depth or breathing rate. Inhalation on the surface will feel the same as it does during your deepest dive. This is in part due to the AFC (Automatic Flow Control) employed in our second stages. This patented innovation is a simple device that adjusts the airflow automatically to compensate for the effects of depth. Atomic Aquatics regulators are the smoothest breathing regulators available...period. What are the diving benefits of Titanium?
First, it is unbelievably lightweight which reduces stress during your dive and makes it a perfect travel regulator. Second, Titanium has no equal for corrosion resistance which means more safety, reliability and repeatable performance. And finally, its beautiful appearance stands apart from any other regulator. Unparalleled light weight means less stress In our mission to invigorate the diving experience, the first priority is on reducing stress – travel stress, gearing-up stress, jaw-clinch stress. The best way is to use the lightest material possible. But light weight must never compromise strength or durability.
Titanium is the perfect solution. When you hold a Titanium Atomic regulator in your hand, you immediately realize the difference from other regulators. That means less stress for you from packing your gear bag, to donning, to even the final minutes of a long dive.

Lane Ranger: Road safety concerns raised over shopping center
Published: Sunday, May 4, 2014 at 9:45 p.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, May 4, 2014 at 9:45 p.m.
Kay Bishop, of Ocala, wrote to the Lane Ranger about the area around Market Street at Heath Brook, the shopping center which includes the Dillard's Department Store on Route 200, west of I-75.
"I live at 4900 Southwest 46th Court and have witnessed several near accidents on this street. Traffic coming in from State Road 200 does not have a stop sign, whereas traffic from Dillards, the Estates at Heathbrook, and Starbucks (does) have a stop sign," Bishop wrote.
"The problems are twofold: 1.The stop signs are hidden by overgrowth from the trees and 2. The stop signs should be labeled as "3-Way Stop," to alert motorists that there is a fourth that has the right of way," she stated.
"Numerous times I have seen motorists who are stopped proceed to turn in front of a car coming in from Route 200, assuming that they likewise need to stop. This should be a reasonably easy-fix situation and should be addressed before someone gets hurt," Bishop stated.
The email was forwarded to the City of Ocala Public Works Streets and Traffic Division.
Darren Park, division head, replied in an email.
"Southwest 46th Court between State Road 200 and Southwest 49th Road is a public road. Southwest 46th Court from Southwest 49th Road to where the road right-of-way stops (at the edge of parcel #23874-000-18) is a private road. Southwest 49th Road west of Southwest 46th Court is a public road. The driveway opposite Southwest 49th Road heading back towards Dillard's is private property," Park wrote.
"(As to) item number one, will relocate the eastbound stop sign for Southwest 49th Road to improve visibility. The other stop signs are private property. (In reference to) Item number two, the "3-Way" sign request is not permitted per the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices," Park stated.
Winston Shuler with the City of Ocala Traffic division provided information about signage on stop signs.
"The latest MUTCD (Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices, 2009 Edition) Section 2B.05 (06) states: "Supplemental plaques with legends such as 2-way,3-way,4-way or any other numbers of ways shall not be used with Stop signs." Shuler replied in an email.
The Market Street at Heath Brook shopping center is one of the properties listed on the MG Herring Group of Dallas, Texas, website (www.mgherringgroup.com) Contacted last week, Heather Herring Stanton with MG Herring replied that as her company "had just learned about the issue, (they are) looking into the matter."

Overcoming longtime controllability, performance, and energy-efficiency issues
Many HVAC systems are equipped with 100-percent-outdoor-air economizer cycles consisting of a set of dampers that steer cool outdoor air to fans, which then move the air around the system. The purpose of an air economizer is to reduce refrigerant-compressor run time during colder months and possibly during cool night hours and, thus, lower annual energy consumption. Many variable-air-volume (VAV) systems are designed with incompatible and/or incomplete control strategies that undermine the ...

Giro 3 mount
Posted 13 September 2008 - 08:17 AM
Posted 13 September 2008 - 12:11 PM
I recommend using a cw bar and weight for larger ota's(Teton sells the cw bar) and a solid tripod. Model with 60mm hub has the M10 thread and is compatible with CG-5 tripod and SVP extension.
Congrats, I've been very pleased with mine.

There was no issue at all with the Giro II being loaded on one side, indeed I spent a year like that in blissful ignorance. However getting the balance right suddenly moved it up a whole new level.
I didn't bother buying a counterweight arm and simply used M10 threaded rod instead, £1 vs £25. Easy decision.

Well, after selling my DM-6 mount about 5 months ago and severely wanting to find a cost efficient replacement, I stumbled across an excellent deal on a Giro 3. While I'm waiting for delivery...can any of you owners of this mount, give me some pointers for best results?
I was in the same boat - just could not put down the $1,800 for the DM6 / tripod combo - too much $$ for a non-tracking mount IMHO.
After talking with Mark at Teton (several times over a couple months) I eventually opted to go for the GIRO III Twin View and I've been very happy with it. I mounted it on an old Gibraltar tripod (needed a large Fender washer on the Gibraltar neck so the base had a flat platform for attachment) which works just fine for my AP Stowaway with a binoviewer. The 7 lb cw all the way out is just fine for balancing in azimuth, and I bought an 8" AP mounting plate so I had an extra degree of freedom and quick adjustments for altitude balancing.
I have used the Stowaway and a Mewlon 210 on it simultaneously, and it worked, but it was a bit much for the Gibraltar tripod. However the GIRO head handled it without breaking a sweat. Most of the time however I just use a single scope on it with the cw shaft & 7 lb cw.
The motions are nice and smooth and I can hand-track up to about 250x before it gets a little bumpy, but I've used it 378x and managed to still get a decent view but YMMV. I have no doubt that the DM6 is the king of alt-az, but for 1/3 the price the GIRO III is tough to beat. It just gets out of the way and does its job nicely without any hassles.
Posted 15 September 2008 - 08:53 PM
Posted 15 September 2008 - 09:31 PM
I've tried many alt/az mounts, ranging from Gilbralter to DiscMounts to HalfHitch to Wimberly and more. I've settled on the Giro for use with heavier scopes and a Modified Teegul for use with lighter ones.
I can't imagine you being unhappy with a Giro III.
Posted 16 September 2008 - 07:37 AM
On another note has anybody tried to make a wedge for the Giro II? Just idle curiosity.
Posted 16 September 2008 - 08:13 AM
I never seem to get any tension out of my Alt knob on my Giro II. I do carefully balance so it's not normally an idea but I would like to use the knob if it could.
There's a cylindrical plug that sits inside the hole that the tension knob is threaded into. Sometimes those plugs are too "slippery" and it's difficult or impossible to create any meaningful tension no matter how much you try to tighten the knob. Mine was this way when I first bought it several years ago. Markus sent me a replacement plug and that has largely solved the problem. I still can't completely prevent the alt axis from moving if pushing hard on it but it can be tightened more than enough to prevent any movement due to eyepiece changes (or even diagonal removal, etc.) Perhaps Mark at Teton can provide a replacement plug for you to try.
Posted 16 September 2008 - 12:11 PM
This has been my only complaint with the Giro 3- not enough tension to prevent movement with eyepiece/diagonal changes. I will have to try a replacement plug- thanks frpo the suggestion!
Rob- for a wedge, you have your mounted on top of your pan head on the quickset tripod, right? Can't you just use the pan function to act like a wedge?

Sadly the pan head doesn't get enough angle on it. I'm London, UK and need 51 or so degrees, but only get around 35 degrees or so. I could adjust one of the legs but I hate to do that in case I get it wrong and the scope topples over. It's one of those projects that I keep looking at, if I can get the top bolt to lock more then a wedge makes more sense and I can gently pan across the sky.
To be honest, it was more for public solar viewing, I sometimes put a white light filter on a 100mm TMB F8, my Lunt scope is somewhat delayed , and I don't have an EQ mount big enough for the TMB. The advantage of the TMB is I can put a 2" 40mm EP in and the public can easily see the Sun and what little activity we have. Of course all of this is moot as we have had the most awful summer in the UK and the TMB is under the stairs quietly rusting away

I'd be interested to hear from others that may have made the same switch to see what you think.
The half-hitch and discmounts are just way too much money for me. This sounds nearly as good for much less!
Posted 14 May 2009 - 03:54 PM
It benefits from even balancing, it's very, very smooth without it but even better with it. I used it for months without realising it could be even better if I put a counter weight on.

I understand them to be very good mounts in their own right. There is a technical bug in the WO mount with the engraving of the circles. They got it the wrong way round so that as you rotate it clockwise the numbers go from 360 to 0 rather than the other way round. It does not detract from the usage of it and is an interesting anecdote more than anything else.
To be honest setting circles on a mount this small are not that accurate, and this site (http://settingcircle...bertwillett.com) will easily corect it. It's my site so I will be humble.
Posted 15 May 2009 - 09:39 AM
Any comparisons of the Giro to the WO, Orion or Voyager would be useful. I can buy the Orion and WO here in Australia locally, so if they're just as good I'd go that way. I don't mind ordering a Giro 3 from the US, but it will cost me a bit more due to shipping.

APM of Germany.
Not to knock the other brands, but the fact that these are German made, adds some assurance to me.
Posted 15 May 2009 - 11:12 AM
1) I don't speak German
2) The AU dollar against the Euro is terrible (worse than US dollar) so everything is very expensive
But thanks anyway. It looks a lot like the Giro 3 actually, only more expensive.

Lombardi Surface Mobility
Application ID: 15579
Surface acoustic phonons and surface roughness have an important effect on the carrier mobility, especially in the thin inversion layer under the gate in MOSFETs. The Lombardi surface mobility model adds surface scattering resulting from these effects to an existing mobility model using Matthiessen's rule.
This model demonstrates how to use the Lombardi surface mobility model for the electron mobility in a simple MOSFET. The current density profile and total current flowing into the terminal is compared with the constant mobility case.

I love the name 'Stormlit Cloister' - it brings to my mind images of an isolated, spired monastery city perched on top of a bleak and desolate range, where the faithful, during their meditations, watch dark thunderheads roll across the flanks of the mountainside far below their eirie peak.
Here the monks have retreated to find a cure to the plague. Consequently, they have sent out a call for all skilled in the arcane arts to join their college and many have answered. Some wizards prefer to work alone, and for them special quarters are built resulting in a gradual and extensive expansion of the original complex.
To reach the Cloister, travellers must ascend the 'ten thousand steps', a steep and perilous stair carved into the mountain. There are simple rest-houses upon the way, for the journey takes four days.
The denizens of the Stormlit Cloister lead a simple ascetic life. In upland pastures acolytes tend a breed of hardy goat which provide milk, meat and fur. Vegetables are grown in small gardens under the eye of Father Meehan - the head of the order.

For young children the long good-bye of a grandparent with Alzheimer's can be especially frightening. A grandparent is not just forgetting, but suddenly no able to do many of the things they used to enjoy together. Even more upsetting, Grandma may act angry, even when the child has done nothing wrong. In this tender book, Jessica Shepherd tells the story with clarity, mixing in the reality without turning this into a dark journey for a young child. It's a reassuring book that follows Grandma to a nursing home with its ups and downs. Finally it speaks to the child's need to know that with all these changes, the caring comfort of loved ones is there. 4-8
Age: Preschool, Early School Years. Award Year: 2014.
Nina's story of life in a family of divorce is, as the jacket suggests, an "uncomplicated" account of what it is like to have two homes. It is a sad tale and reads more like bibliotherapy. Yet, we think it worth noting, since it can be a conversation opener for families dealing with similar situations. Sometimes a book can open the floodgates or at least help children know that they are not unique and that others have lived through such events.

Anyone who has had to say good-bye to a loved on because they are moving far away or facing a bigger separation will be moved to tears of empathy in this sentimental, but beautiful book. Lydia's family is going West to Oregon and the thought of leaving Grandma is hard to accept. It's a wise and endearing Grandmother who finds way to prepare little Lydia with ways they can stay connected. Bring tissues. 3-6.

Fire on Baltimore's Sisson St. Engulfs Artist Space, Auto Shops
Smoke created a dense fog as firefighters battled a two-alarm fire that engulfed a building containing the Open Space artist studio and gallery and several auto body repair shops at the intersection of 28th St. and Sisson St. in Baltimore on May 1.
"Flames shot up 30 feet in the air," said William Hamilton, who said he saw the blaze from his home in Hampden and walked down to the scene. "I could smell the smoke from my house. I've been down here since it started."
The fire, began around 6:30 p.m. and roared into the night for more than five hours. Roman L. Clark, spokesperson for the Baltimore City Fire Department, said firefighters brought the blaze under control around 11:53 p.m.
While a number of firefighters armed with hoses sprayed down the building, a Baltimore Gas and Electric crew raced to turn off power to the building in an effort to keep the fire from spreading.
Mikela Farley, a student at the University of Baltimore, walked down to the fire in a panic concerned about whether everyone made it out of the building safely.
"My friends live there," said Farley. "I hope they are OK. When I wasn't able to get in contact with them I came down here."
Open Space, which opened in 2009, is a collective gallery and apartment of artists. The artistic hub provides an outlet housing for both local and international artists. According to the Open Space website, a two-person exhibition featuring the work of Miranda Pfeiffer and Ledelle Moe was scheduled to show on May 3.
"The fire was labor-intensive," said Clark. "Due to safety, we could not put any firefighters inside the building to contain the fire. We had men spraying from the outside on ladders."
As the night wore on, people who lived in the neighborhood continued to walk down to the fire. Bystanders took photos with their phones, while staring at the magnitude of the thick smoke billowing out of the building.
A few bystanders said they were unable to move their cars from an auto repair lot before the fire started and were concerned if they were still there.
Clark said all the residents, workers and owners of the building escaped. He said one firefighter suffered from minor injuries and was taken to the fire department infirmary, where he was released the next morning.
"The fire is still under investigation," said Clark. "Investigators were not even able to get into the building until daylight broke early this morning."
