There is really only one valid reason to hate Michigan football, and that is the fact that we taught Notre Dame the game.
OH wow. Quickets thread to 1,000 responses possibly?

Winnipeg, MB (Sports Network) - Grant Clitsome, Kyle Wellwood and Evander Kane
scored in a 2:06 span during a four-goal second period which lifted Winnipeg
over Philadelphia, 4-1, at MTS Centre.
Bryan Little also tallied during the deciding frame and Blake Wheeler added a
pair of assists for the Jets, who snapped a five-game losing skid.
Ondrej Pavelec stopped 30-of-31 shots for the win.
Ruslan Fedotenko's tip of a Kent Huskins shot was the lone offense for the
Flyers, who saw their four-game win streak and a chance to reach the
.500 mark for the first time all season fall by the wayside.
Ilya Bryzgalov was pulled after allowing four scores on 16 shots in two
periods. Steve Mason made his Philadelphia debut and turned away all nine
Winnipeg chances in the third.

Roger Highfield warns in the Telegraph, of a new genetic test to screen unborn babies for thousands of genetic disorders: "What is considered acceptable will vary a great deal from person to person, let alone between cultures" ('Unborn babies can be screened for 3,500 disorders', Telegraph, June 7). In China and India, 'culture' dictates millions of times over that having a baby girl is unacceptable. Notwithstanding our own 'freedom to choose', our health services operate a 'search and destroy' approach to disability, which they admit is for economic reasons, and parents who 'allow' the birth of a disabled baby have been accused of negligence or selfishness. There is growing support for the view that the disabled should be 'helped to die', the implication being that we are better off dead, and that anyone who objects is guilty of 'inflicting suffering' on others.

Bill Ackman's Big Bet on the Hong Kong Dollar
Hedge fund manager Bill Ackman made waves in the financial community yesterday by announcing a very bullish bet on the Hong Kong dollar. Currently pegged to its American counterpart, HK's currency would see its value soar if it were attached instead to a more compatible counterpart -- say, the Chinese yuan. Ackman appears to be banking on it, but in a low-risk way.


text: I had the connector running properly on my FC6 client machine and have just built out an F7 box. The rpm I used on FC6 was intended for Evo 2.8 nd F7 has Evo 2.10 so I built from source. I have a clean build and install and have the Zimbra Account Setup plugin enabled but when I attempt to create a new calendar pointed at the Zimbra server as I did from the FC6 client there is no option for a Zimbra calendar. I'm suspecting this is a stupid user trick on my part but am stumped. I have tried disabling and re-enabling the Account Setup plugin, doing an make uninstall (which I confirmed took out the Account Setup plugin) a make clean, bootstrap.sh, make, make install but no joy. Still have a Zimbra Account Setup plugin enabled but no option to create a Zimbra calendar from the New Calendar dialog. Any suggestions welcomed.


text: Heaven knows I certainly have!!! You see, before I started reading other sci-fi novels and fantasy novels, the Star Wars novels were the only novels I read!! I watched the Star Wars Trilogy practically one every month!! Then, I began reading fantasy novels and plus I found out that there's more excellent and more sophisticated sci-fi novels and sci-fi space-opera novels out there besides the Star Wars ones. So now I'm reading other things than Star Wars, and honestly, I'm going through a Star Wars burn-out stage right now, so I'm kind of tired of Star Wars for now. I imagine I'll start back into Star Wars fandom again someday, but I fear it's not going to be anytime soon. Sure, I'm excited about Episode II, but not as excited as I was when I was a hardcore SW fan. To tell you the truth, I'm more excited about seeing "LOTR: The Two Towers", than I am with seeing Star Wars Episode II, which is probably true with just about everyone, because, from what I've seen, the LOTR movies have made a much bigger impression than the Star Wars movies. So, has anyone on this board experienced Star Wars burn-out, like I have?

WEST LIBERTY - Alex Falk knows the next loss is going to be the final one for him not just in a West Liberty uniform, but in terms of the game of basketball itself. Sure, the senior could go overseas and play professionally once he graduates, but that's never been part of the plan.
You see, Falk has other things he wants to do in life, which is why he applied for, and was recently accepted into West Liberty's graduate Physician's Assistant program. Some would say that's a waste of talent, but Falk has more than one. A 3.4 student majoring in Biology, Falk has always been good when it comes to the classroom.
''This is what I have always wanted to do, is be in the medical setting. It's a great opportunity,'' Falk said Wednesday, not long after learning he had been named NCAA Division II National Player of the Year. ''I love helping people and always wanted to know what's wrong with people - the pathology of stuff. It's something that's driven me and it's why I picked Biology, because it's the best way to get to the medical field.''
It's a competitive endeavor to say the least, as only 19 of the 600 applicants will be starting classes July 2. Of course, Falk knows all about beating long odds since he did so just to get to West Liberty. There were no Division-I offers and the ones coming from D-II were few and far between. He says he picked the Hilltoppers because coming out of Ohio's Upper Sandusky High School, where he was a teammate with future Ohio State star guard Jon Diebler, Falk was looking for a program that fit his skill set.
He found that on the hilltop, even though he had to go through a 90-minute on-court job interview, if you will, simply to be asked to come back and play again. West Liberty coach Jim Crutchfield recalled looking at film of the 6-foot-3 wing player and having questions as to where exactly Falk would fit in. He wasn't a great perimeter shooter at that point, but didn't have the size to play underneath the basket.
''I don't try to pressure kids in this office and tell them 'tell me right now if you want to come here or it will be off the table tomorrow,' '' Crutchfield said. ''I always tell them to go home and talk to your family - don't let the excitement overwhelm you.''
He said 'Coach, I'm coming.' I said 'well go home and talk to your parents.'
"And he told me that if I wanted him to go home and talk to his family he would, but 'I'm telling you right now I'm coming here.' ''
Still, it wasn't as though Falk turned into an instant star. He came off the bench as a freshman and was ticketed for the same role the following season. That is until Crutchfield finally decided Falk was too good not to start, and he has rarely come off the floor since.
From role player to national player of the year in four seasons.
"I'm not the best Division-II athlete out there - I'm not anywhere near that," Falk said. "It was completely unexpected.
"We're a humble group. No one person stands above anyone else or thinks they're better than anyone else."
If only that were completely true. The fact is, Falk is the No. 1 player on the No. 1 team in the country, and his attitude is a big part of the equation. He scores 21 points a game, guards the opposing team's best player and is the active career D-II leader in steals. This season alone he's swiped away 101, which is one off Corey Pelle's school single-season record.
One of Crutchfield's favorite Falk memories involves Ohio's North-South All-Star game, one in which the coach said Falk really didn't fit into because he's not a flashy player. So there was Falk hounding the other team's best scorer into a five-second call near half court in an all-star game. Falk looked at Crutchfield in the stands and pumped his fist.
"I was like 'that's my guy right there. You got all the cool guys, but I got him,' " Crutchfield said with a laugh. "I know he's probably not your prototypical national player of the year, but I think everybody appreciates the guy who puts forth more effort and maximizes his skills.
"I think he's the kind of guy other coaches say 'man, I wish I had a guy like him.'
"And they're not saying that because he can shoot the ball so well, jump so high or whatever it is. It's the way he plays the game that has brought about this award for him."
Falk says that fire was instilled in him by his parents at a very young age. It's also why he gets upset when he sees a person that doesn't want to get better in whatever they may be doing at the time.
"That's why I don't like how competitive things are kind of being taken away for younger generations. I hate it and it's something that I'm not going to teach my kids in the future," he said. "Competitiveness is important in everything. If you don't learn to be competitive, you're not going to get a job any time soon in this market.
"I feel like being hardworking and competitive is the No. 1 asset that you need to be successful."
Will Falk be sad - win or lose a national championship - when he takes that sweat-soaked jersey off for the final time? You bet. But knowing you have something even bigger and better out there that interests you is not a chance all too many of us are afforded.
"It's a good thing to do and I'm thankful I have the ability to do it. I'm excited about my future," Falk said.

Born: 11/19/1933
Birth Place: Brooklyn, New York, USA
Born Lawrence Harvey Zeiger in Brooklyn, NY, on Nov. 13, 1933, King's childhood was marked by tragedy and financial difficulty. His father, Edward, died when King was nine, forcing the family to seek welfare to make ends meet. King, who had dreamed of a career as a radio announcer since the age of five and thus, regularly practiced his vocal technique at home, was forced to put that ambition on hold and go to work to support his mother and brother. He worked in a string of menial jobs, including UPS deliveryman, until a chance encounter with a CBS broadcaster pointed him towards Florida. Opportunities in radio for less experienced broadcasters were available there, so King landed a job cl... Continue Bio >>

Please, remember a few things when asking questions.
1. Make sure your question(s) has not/have not already been asked.
2. Try to keep it to 1-5 questions per member/per post.
3. Ask DST ONLY about DST licenses (ie. DST does not control DCD Minis).
4. Keep your question short and to the point. No novels or life stories.
5. If you are insulting, threatening, rude, demanding, impolite, or fail to heed any of these rules, your question will very well be deleted.
Growing old is inevitable… growing up is optional.
Posted 28 February 2008 - 01:24 PM
I know at this point DST doesn't hold the license, doesn't have any say, etc.
However, if DC Direct drops the ball on DC Minimates (which is the current gossip), is there any chance you guys could/would ride in on your white horse and save the day? I don't know if DCD even considers licensing out like that. Is it something you have discussed with them, by chance?
As always, thanks for your time.
Posted 28 February 2008 - 01:51 PM
(Just kidding!)
No questions from me this time. Thanks for answering our questions!
Posted 28 February 2008 - 02:37 PM
Will Hannibal come with his mask in the Silence of the Lambs set? We have heard rumors of a licensing problem with the mask itself.
If the Silence of the Lambs set sells well, will you consider doing more horror/suspense movie minimates?
Posted 28 February 2008 - 03:35 PM
The Minibar mixes it up with the new Star Trek Legacy minimates. Beam on over to Shots From The Minibar to check it out
See where all the comic craziness began at Tales From The Minibar.
Posted 28 February 2008 - 04:03 PM
So, what's up with the no Mudd law? I mean, I hate Mudd, but why can't you do him? Is it some sort of actor thing?
Secondly: Have you talked to Disney about doing mates with them?
Lastly, with the production of The Hobbit possible and with MGM distributing it, are mates, released around the same time of the film possible?
Posted 28 February 2008 - 09:15 PM
1, Will the Doctor Who mates work like the DC mates? What I mean is how Art Asylum designs the DC mates and DCD distributes them, will it be the same way with Underground Toys? (hope this question makes sense)
2, Will we see Modern BSG mates based on season 3 before season 4? It seems like all the BSG mates released so far are from the miniseries, season 1,2 and Razor. I would love New Caprica mates.
3, I Have noticed with my SciFi giveaway Cylons that some have different types of bags. One has the same type as the Cylon Elf (more of a smooth plastic) where as a couple have a more crisp/crackly bag. Can you tell me anything about this or is it news to you?
4, Non Minimate question, I went to preorder the Adama and Helo busts the other day from my LCS and was told both were cancelled?!?!?! what can you tell me about this and the future of BSG busts?
5, In a couple years when the Caprica pilot comes out, is DST hoping to get the license to make products for it?
Thanks for your time. If you keep on making BSG mates, I will keep on buying them.

Thanks for answering questions!

Posted 29 February 2008 - 07:03 PM
Already asked Cell-mate. Now you have a slot for another question
Posted 29 February 2008 - 08:25 PM
1. I know you mentioned that the Fistful of Dollars/Few Dollars More series was driven by your personal interest in that license. How many of the themes are driven by personal interest?
2. Lara Croft minimates. What do you think? (Face it, Lara Croft is the perfect convergence of attributes for this type of market... hot women, dangerous weapons, short-shorts and huge boobs)
3. What does it look like for more Back to the Future after the 3rd movie box set? Has the license run its course or is there enough interest to keep going?
Thanks for taking time Chuck...
Posted 29 February 2008 - 10:44 PM
Thanks for your time. Any thoughts on putting out sets of different colored body pieces etc. for customizers. It might be cool if you could also come up with some type of decal set for detailing faces, musculature, etc.
Thanks again.
Posted 03 March 2008 - 10:32 AM
Are there any other characters you can't do from the Star Trek universe besides the new movie?
Would it be a possibility in the future to get shuttlecrafts or bridge playsets?
Posted 03 March 2008 - 02:45 PM
I asked this in round 6. Chuck's answer was "boot-feet".
Posted 06 March 2008 - 11:58 AM
Oh HELL yes! Please! A Legend/Anniversary/Underworld box set would literally make me wet myself. I'd buy a whole case! I've already customized Lara a ton of times, but this is the one time I don't mind having my customs negated out.
Hey and thanks.
Can you give us the low down on EUtS Lorraine's low down cleavage? What happened to her ampleness? I was so excited. Now I'm left with this empty feeling when I look at her. Can I have yall's prototype?
Razor Six. Her lab coat. Molded boobies or no? Because I think Matt is too bust fondli-- I mean a bit to close to the situation to know what he's talking about.
How many minimates to yall keep in stockpile? You sent out several older mates for the Target giveaway, yet I was unable to get a Taskmaster/US Agent 2 pack that just came out when mine came with parts missing? Is there some quota for how many yall keep on hand?
No, he's right -- not making that one character doomed the line. Doomed, I tell you. The minute we left him out of Series 1 a raven flew through our window. And killed an intern.
Posted 06 March 2008 - 12:19 PM
2. Now that you're getting so deep in the character pool, any chance of that "fan-choice" wave? I realize that's basically what 19 and 20 are, but I mean with voting and stuff
Posted 08 March 2008 - 06:54 AM
Posted 08 March 2008 - 02:25 PM
1- Is the decision to no longer sell to Europe a permanent one or would you consider rethinking it if there was enough of a response?
2- Does the non-Euro policy apply to just minimates or all DST products?
3- Dr Who minimates - whats currently happening?, your answer in the previous Q&A was kinda confusing
4- Any possibility of 6" (or minimate) versions of Klingon Captains Koloth & Kang, who could both simply re-use Kor's Body?
Thanks again for reading
Posted 13 March 2008 - 09:50 PM
now...after going through a bunch of potential questions in my mind the best one I want to ask is:
Is Back the the Future done after the sets shown at Toyfair? I am hoping that we will get some more to kinda round out the cast a bit more...I see so much potential with this line so I am hoping so!
thanks again for your time!
Jeff of the Miniacs
Posted 14 March 2008 - 07:16 AM
2.back in Toy Fair 07 we saw an Apollo in suit.Was that just a prototype?
3With Indiana Jones and Star Wars licenses in your hands,could you possibly make Minimates of them?
4.Do you still have the G.I. Joe license?If so could you make Minimates of them?
5.Do you still have the Army Of Darkness license? If you do could you make Minimates of them?
6.will we ever see a hazomat Marty and Doc Brown?
7.Could you give us more of a description on the Doctor Who Minimates?
8.Why isn't Gamma Hulk glow-in-the-dark?

Just got a tweet that Dendy sprained his knee yesterday and will miss 2 weeks.
LaRon Dendy sprained his right knee in practice yesterday. Will miss tonight's game and will be out two weeks. Looking to have Dendy back for the Chicago Invitational.
Better now than during conference play. Hopefully he can take the necessary time to rest and get back to full strength soon.
Winning cures all.
too bad

And so it begins -- good grief. Why is McDermott and men's basketball program so freaking jinxed.
wow...of course.
Is this a joke?
How's JVB been coming along. Nice thing about this years team is we'll be able to overcome injuries with great depth. Hope LD heals up quickly.
Gonna miss him against Drake. I think we'll be okay in the others until he returns.
That sucks, I think he's going to be a high energy player for us this year. I agree that it is better now than during conference, although it sucks we won't have him for Drake. 2 weeks will land right in the middle of the Chicago tourney, it sure would be nice to have him for that too. I just hope if it's questionable they don't put him back in too soon and have it turn into one of those lingering things...
Originally Posted by isunorth

Yeah, that will be the toughest game, but I still like our chances with Josh Young out for them.
Every team has injuries...this is pretty minor imo.
Well this makes one thing clear...we need to quit practicing.
This sucks. When he gets back he'll be rusty. I hope 2 weeks was worse case and not an optimistic guess.
Hopefully JVB will be back to full strength soon.
Friggin figures
With Gmac's luck, this will linger with Dendy all year and he'll never be 100%. Guess it's too much to ask the basketball gods to give us a healthy roster for a season.

March 6, 2013
WHEELING — With a proposed budget that counts on receiving $720,000 from poker, blackjack and other table games at casinos around the state, Wheeling officials don't like the hand they'll be dealt i......
Local government need to look hard at downsizing and leave the spending by the private sector. In addition, money is being spent by cities on wasteful items. Now it the time to start cutting wages and staff like the rest of America has been doing to make a smaller government budget.

What kind of cuts moving foreword? Does that mean loss of jobs? Does that mean they will cancel the 15% raise the city leaders, including the yearly raise herring gives himself to run the city into the ground?

That lawyer that sued the city of wheeling police dept and settled for 55K-does the city have insurance for this or does this come from the taxpayers too? I dont claim to know everything about city finance, but it burns my *** that, or if taxpayers should have to pay for the ignorance of such employees. I agree with the city settling, as they were wrong. I dont mind training or education to prevent morons from harrassing citizens, however, I would not be surprised if the attorney did not carry that gun in and have an employee at KFC inform cops just because he knew they were stupid, didnt know the law, and would screw up. Is this why we have had 3 chiefs in 4 years? Because they cant find one dedicated and talented enough to train and educate a handful of mentally challenged badge and gun holders. McKenzie not looking too smart either.

Tax and spend libs!!!
3/4 of a MILLION a year to fund the 911 center!!!!
Are they paying dispatchers 50 dollars an hour???!!!
Typical tyrannical government that REFUSES to cut spending!!!
If you rely on income as unreliable as gambling and grants to fund your government then you are completely CLUELESS!!!

Okay, so they will have to cut about 2.5% from the budget. Big deal. I remember taking a 10% cut to keep WP alive. It worked for two decades, so it wasn't a bad thing. My heart bleeds for the civil service types. If you're not happy, go get another job.
Oh yeah, this is the second reign of obie, no jobs out there either.

People are missing an important question. Whose idea was the FLAT FEE? Seems like one side or another wanted it?
1 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
The City should lobby the State to drop the 2.5 mill fee for all WV tracks.Go with a straight % of sales: before it is too late.
Note the bonds(debt) for the demolitions(aka"growth") depend on property tax from WD.
When the gas drilling boom is over-wells established- Wheeling will be left with massive unoccupied hotel rooms and no attractions to fill them.

Gambling "loss"? If the city was DUMB enough to count on gambling revenue, they should suffer the "loss".
That is why they call it "Gambling"!!!!
You LOSE!

McKenzie-time to get real and tighten your belt and pull yourself up by the bootstraps, your pork days are over. So every dept takes cuts, just like every household in times of economic crisis. Those gamblers at the casino-what do you think their childrens lives are like, think they are eating well and thriving? Do not care-just so the politicians get a buck. Go have dinner over there and see the disease in progress. It is shameful, worse than any drug I have seen. People throwing money away and many in hopes of getting themselves out of poverty. Gaming=targetting the mentally challenged-like taking candy from a baby. Shameful. We do it so cities can profit and balance their budget. We did it w/o before, figure it out. Cant solve problem w same thinking that created it.

Hey guys,
I've integrated my Gal in Apple Adress Book as LDAP-Directory Service as it is explained here:
Mail Client LDAP Configuration - Zimbra :: Wiki
My problem is that I can find all "Accounts" but not a "Distribution list". In Thunderbird it works pretty fine. So it must have something to do with Apple Address Book.
Have someone figured it out yet?

Sorry, I haven't been able to find how to update my profile with this information, so I've also added it to my signature:
Release 7.2.0_GA_2669.SLES11_64_20120410001957 SLES11_64 NETWORK edition.
Last weekend I upgraded our Zimbra system from v7.14 to v7.2
However, I think we've lost the ability to share access to resources since the upgrade.
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but if I remember correctly, in v7.14 you would highlight a user or resource, and one of the options available was to "view email," allowing you to login to the user's (and the resource's) mailbox, go to preferences, then sharing.
However, now it seems you have to first choose to edit the object before seeing the "View Email" button for users, however it's simply not there for resources. When choosing "Resources" on the left side, the only buttons available when you highlight an existing resource are "New," "Edit," "Move Mailbox," and "Delete." After choosing to edit the resource, again there is no "View Mail."
Am I just missing something here, or did it actually get left out?
Any help would be very much appreciated!

Hoffman will be begin his senior year as a Cardinal this fall and told his hometown paper he has a specific athletic goal in mind for his final year at North Central.
"I'd really, really like to qualify for nationals in the 400 hurdles," he said.

Quarter-Mile from the Past - Antique NationalsWritten by on August 7, 2006 Reliving It At The Antique Nationals
Pay no attention to the housing developments packed with half-million dollar homes, the fast food restaurants, and the strip malls that have popped up in Palmdale, California, in the last few decades.
We prefer to think of Palmdale the way it was in the days before the L.A. development boom echoed out at the northern end of the county. Before this remote, dusty town on the edge of the Mojave--where neighbors were once separated by miles of desert--became one of the fastest growing cities in America. Before the 14 Freeway replaced Pearblossom Highway as the quickest way around.
For hot rodders, Pearblossom is still the fastest route to the old days. It's the way to Los Angeles County Raceway, where others who think just like us go to relive the past at the Antique Nationals every June.
The Antique Nationals began in 1970 which, according to the promoters, makes it the original nostalgia drag race. The car show area adjacent to the pits is open to everybody, but the racing is restricted to 1954 and earlier cars and '56 and earlier Ford trucks. The event is hosted by the members of the Four Ever Four Cylinder Club, who have been racing in the past since 1954. Some of these club members can still remember the days when drag racing 4-bangers, flatheads, Nailheads, and early small-block mills wasn't nostalgic at all. It was just drag racing.
Most of the races of that era were small events, sponsored by the local hot rod clubs and attended by the local cars that were well-known to the other racers as well as to the spectators. Today, even with hundreds of participants from all over the West, that atmosphere still exists when the Antique Nationals brings the past back to Palmdale.

Tom and Diana Branch drove their hot rods to the Antique Nats. Diana's A sedan (with a Deuce grille) runs a Studebaker 300 engine, and runs in the low 15s......Husband Tom's bare-metal '32 roadster (on gold-painted rails) is also Stude-powered and has gone 14.20 in the quarter-mile.In four years, Tom McErlane has driven his '32 coupe all over the United States, racking up almost 80 thousand miles. On this day, the ZZ4-powered Deuce added a few more quarter miles, with a top speed of 98 miles per hour.This isn't the first water box we've seen this '53 Chevy in. Larry Wiggins and "Old Man's Mistress" make the rounds of West Coast nostalgia drags. The car was his daily transportation before he purpose-built it as a drag car. Engine is a stroked 383.Kade Gates and his friend Josh Morningstar are students at Camarillo High School, and drove down to Palmdale to race Kade's '31 Model A coupe. The top was chopped four inches, and a Chevy 350 was dropped between the rails.With a couple bottles of beverage to keep the door open, and Jake Krotje to push, this flamed and 'striped Stude makes it's way up the staging lanes.This flathead-powered channeled roadster is suspended with front and rear split wishbones and a suicide front end. It looks like it was built to replicate a '50s hot rod, but in fact, it is a genuine survivor from rodding's early days, and has been on the road for 48 years.Nineteen-year-old Matt Prell's '54 Ford has been mildly modified on the outside with a '58 Chevy bumper, '55 rear wheel wells, and some nice flames. Under the hood, it's got a Linoln 460 engine backed by a C6 trans, and a 9-inch rear. Matt was running low 15s and hoping to get into the 14s. He blew past us later that evening on the 405 freeway.
The Early Riders club makes it to LACR every spring to race the club-owned '27 T turtledeck at the Antique Nationals. The so-low coupe sits on custom steel rails. A Powerglide backs up the 350 Chevy. The car was built by the club for an estimated $6,000.A lot of work went into this chopped and severely channeled '32 five-window. We always heard that "you can't take it with you," but the owner of this "hellbound" '32 added a bamboo roof rack, just in case you can.The gold basecoat and raspberry flames on Steve Anderson's full-fendered, unchopped top '31 five-window is 16 years old, but still looks great. The small-block was hot rodded for drag racing and A arms were added to the front.If you were in Paso Robles the week before, you were one of the first people to see this ragtop Merc. The just-finished finish is some beautiful fade paint applied by Gene Winfield, who also happened to be in attendance at the Antique Nats.The elaborate 'striping and super low posture of this '60 Caddy called us over for a closer look. The cracked windshield must've hurt; fresh glass is probably on the "to do" list.Don Dillard's '32 fendered roadster has been running around since the '50s. The weather-beaten body rides on new rails. Running a stock 283, this hairblower has a long history on the dry lakes and on the street. That history is going to get a lot longer.We ran into this chopped, channeled, and sectioned '25 Chrysler. Glen L'Hevreux said the old Fisher-bodied sedan had been pushed out to the curb with the trash when he found it. He chopped it eight inches and Z'd the factory rails 14 inches. Dual Holleys on an intake from a Fury or 300 feed the early '60s 440 engine.Some orange and white Tommy the Greek style 'striping adds a lot to the looks of this black Deuce five-window. The coupe runs a small-block, TH350 trans, a 9-inch locker rearend, plus air conditioning. Owner Darryl Spurlock has driven the car to Seattle, Texas, Bonneville--pretty much everywhere.
John Huston finished this '50 DeSoto a year ago as his Senior high school project. The big roadster used to be a four-door hardtop. It features a 350/350 drivetrain combo and rides on a camaro subframe. John added '59 Cadillac taillights, power steering and brakes, flame throwers, and suede black paint. He got an A.Squeak Bell from The Kiwi Konnection ran into mechanical problems just this side of the starting line with his bare-steel chopped sedan, another survivor hot rod from the '50s, and couldn't make a pass this round.At the end of the day, Sloppy Sin, Luke Brown, and Travis Perich get ready to re-enter the 21st century after celebrating an era they never actually lived through.

When Buffy the Vampire Slayer debuted in 1997, a lot of people figured it was just a show about a girl in tight pants killing vampires. It was.
…It was also a clever, funny allegory for how shitty adolescence (and particularly high school) can be and featured more memorable one-liners than Giles could shake a scone at. Buffy occupies a really huge place in our hearts and so does all of its awesome, ridiculous fashion. Let's replicate.

Absolutely stunning! How do you work out the perspective?
I'm using a single point bird's eye perspective (plus faking it a bit here and there to make it "work" better as an illustration), but the pencil lines can't be seen in the b/w version of the scan. Otherwise, the thing is littered with perspective lines.

Container gardening in the shade
I live on the ground floor of an apartment building and I'm fortunate to have a fairly spacious terrace. I'm looking forward to doing some container gardening this spring, but I get very, very little sun in the space. Any suggestions for what types of flowers and plants might do well in the shade?
Thanks in advance for the help!

Re: Container gardening in the shade
Impatiens do very well in shade. They come in a variety of colours like pale pink, vibrant pink, mauve, white and red.
Begonias love shade and Hostas do too. Coleus has very colourful leaves.
Tall Solomons' Seal would definitely be an interesting addition along with some Sweet Woodruff as a ground cover. Containers full of Hydrangeas would be spectacular.

Re: Container gardening in the shade
one little hosta you could try in your (shaded area) container is "Golden Tiara"...this little bicolored hosta could remain in your container over the winter and then divided in a few years...Best of luck!!

Item # AVI000E
Don't worry though, we have a lot more Mountain Bike Brakes in stock than that.View Similar Products
Avid XX Disc Brake $0.00
Avid's XX Disc Brake is a super lightweight brake that takes the best Avid technologies and eliminates any excess. This includes everything from the lever to the caliper.
This includes Avid features like Power Reserve. The Carbon levers pivot point is close to the bars for easy and natural leverage. It's based on the Elixir design, but it forgoes the tool-free reach adjustment in order to save a little weight. The lever is connected to a forged magnesium body with a slim, one-bolt U-clamp.
The U-clamp is able to be swapped out for SRAM's Matchmaker clamp. This simplifies and reduces weight when attaching shift levers and suspension remotes. Integrated into the body and piston assembly is TaperBore Technology, where the master cylinder reservoir resides to not only save weight but to give superb modulation and feel. The levers are also ambidextrous, meaning that they're suitable for both left and right applications.
The caliper is made from two pieces of forged magnesium, meaning that two bolts hold the caliper together. There's an external, adjustable banjo for clean line routing. Additionally, there isn't any complex hardware to weigh the caliper down. There are two HSX rotors available for front brake applications, 160 or 180mm. The Avid XX Disc Brake arrives pre-bled with DOT 5.1, and it's available in the color Black.

Powerful and reliable
I got lucky and acquired a set of XX brakes to upgrade my Elixir 5s. I thought this was a very similar brake, just built lighter, but it has proven to hold a bleed better, and offer more reliable stopping power. Avid sometimes gets a bad rap, but I tend to believe that a good bleed is usually all that is needed. The carbon lever blades also are more resistant to damage than the aluminum ones on lower-end brakes.

WASHINGTON (AP) - The U.S. Attorney's Office says it won't be prosecuting a hired sedan driver who was arrested on charges of sexually assaulting a female passenger.
Thirty-five-year-old Anouar Trabelsi of Alexandria, Va., was arrested Wednesday by members of a fugitive task force.
Bill Miller, a spokesman for the U.S. Attorney's Office, says prosecutors have reviewed the case and are "not moving forward with charges at this time." He says Trabelsi is being released from custody, and the case remains under investigation. He declined to comment on why prosecutors decided not to pursue the case.
Trabelsi worked for Uber, a smart phone-dispatched sedan service. The alleged assault occurred in December in the driveway of the 20-year-old victim's northwest Washington home. Trabelsi's wife told The Washington Post that her husband is innocent.

The X Factor
Is X Factor New Tonight, November 21, 2012?
Yep, yep. There's a brand-spankin-new X Factor on tonight and we're looking forward to great performances and so much stress. Last week, Demi Lovato had to choose between her mentees Paige Thomas and Jennel Garcia, and in the end Jennel went home. Badass rap trio Lyric 145 was also voted off the show when they failed to receive enough votes to stick around.
So, whose performances are going to rock our world and whose song might be their last? We'll have to wait and see. And hey, y'all, don't forget to vote to keep your favorites safe. It's all in your hands. (No pressure.)
Tune in tonight on FOX at 8 PM ET/PT to catch the Top 10 performing live.

I'll start by saying this team will win the World Series. Now we know that Pedro and Curt aren't walking out onto the field. So who is taking over as the ace of the rotation? Mr. Jon Lester. Without Beckett, Jon will mature into a top of the rotation pitcher and be a Cy Young candidate. Following close behind will be Clay Buchholz who will have a solid year. Ryan Dempster and Jon Lackey will both pitch around .500 with an ERA under 4.50. But the big surprise is the mediocre season of Felix Doubront. Farrell and Cherington will both be frustrated by his inconsistency and he will be traded by the deadline. His replacement will be Allen Webster.
Meanwhile the bullpen will be solid the entire year with sterling performances by Joel Hanrahan, Andrew Bailey Junichi Tazawa, Koji Uehara and Andrew Miller.
With the return of David Ortiz in May the team's lineup will become more productive on offense.
Then two midseason call-ups will make this offense one of the best in the league. Jackie Bradley Jr. who will be tearing up the International League, becomes a mid-season replacement for Gomes in left field. Meanwhile Xander Bogaerts is called up to replace Stephen Drew.
John Farrell goes into the playoffs with Lester/Buchholz/ Webster and Dempster as his starters.
The Sox win the 2013 World Championship.

Progressive 15—a coalition of counties that speaks with a single, unified voice on issues of mutual concern facing Northeastern Colorado—recently announced the recipients of its Alumni of the Plains Award for 2012. Included in this year's group of inductees is Monte Green, a business owner and competitive drag car racer from Haxtun.
The Alumni of the Plains Award is given annually to five individuals who, after graduating from a high school in one of the Progressive 15 counties, has excelled in their profession or made a substantial impact to the region's economic vitality.
This year's winners, which were inducted at a ceremony that took place at the Progressive 15 fall conference in Greeley include:
—Perry James Blach, farmer and rancher from Yuma.
—Monte Green, business owner and competitive drag car racer from Haxtun.
—Carl Beverly "Bev" Bledsoe, former speaker of the Colorado State House of Representatives from Kit Carson.
—Joel Dreessen, tight end for the Denver Broncos from Fort Morgan.
—Russ Johnson, founder of Johnson & Associates, CPAs PC from Sterling.
Haxtun business owner, racer excels
Green owns Green's Repair and Machine in Haxtun and is a competitive drag car racer, who in 2011 was a National Hot Rod Association NHRA champion in the top sportsman class.
The racing engine side of his business, Green's Racing Engines, even has customers from as far away as Australia.
After work, Green is an active volunteer in his community, where for seven years he served as head coach of the Haxtun High School girls' basketball team. During his tenure at Haxtun, the Lady Bulldogs went to the girls' state basketball tournament four times, earning second, third, fourth and fifth places.
Green started racing drag cars in 1979. Thirty years later, in 2009, he finished the NHRA season in sixth place. In 2010, he finished in second place in the points standings, before winning the NHRA's Division V Champion outright in 2011.
On his way to the championship, Green scored points at a number of racetracks in several states. In March, he won an event at the Texas Motorplex near Dallas, Texas. He then had a quarterfinal finish at SCRA Motorplex in Great Bend, Kan. and won a divisional event at Brainerd International Raceway in Minnesota.
Following that race, he posted a quarterfinal finish at Cordova Dragway in Illinois and made strong finishes at Firebird Raceway in Phoenix, Ariz., Tri-State Raceway in Earlville, Iowa and Bandimere Speedway in Denver. He clinched the championship with a total of 324 points at The Strip racetrack at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
Recently, Green won an NHRA divisional race in Cordova, Ill., which means he is back in the running for the 2013 title.

Access to sustainable electrification: Bridging the financial and entrepreneurial gap & Boosting the Clean Development Mechanism
19 Jun 2012 - 19 Jun 2012The side event offers the opportunity to introduce the Clean Energy Access Mechanism, otherwise called the CDM PLUS mechanism.
Rio de Janeiro
Rio de Janeiro
The Clean Energy Access Mechanism aims to develop international public-private partnerships to spark socially responsible investments for vulnerable countries? access to electrification, focusing on rural, isolated regions. The projected mechanism proposes mobilizing ?new and additional? funding to fulfill the objective of universal access to electricity, complementary to traditional financing mechanisms such as development aid, international finance institutions and carbon finance.
The goal is to foster the creation of not-for-profit foundations, affiliated to regulated electric utilities from the industrialized countries, in order to finance electrification investments relying on renewable technologies. The so calledFoundations for Clean Electrificationwill be financed by a universal contribution levied on regulated tariffs, financed by consumers. The scheme is similar to existing contributions,already familiar to electric utilities for rural/urban tariff perequation; subsidization of renewable energies (e.g. feed-in tariffs). Also, the utilities, through their affiliate foundations, will have the opportunity to send technical teams on temporary assignments in developing countries for an efficient transfer of technology and electrification methodology.
The CDM PLUS also offers a scheme for boosting the existing CDM mechanism of the Kyoto Protocol by addressing its major flaws: few projects benefit to the vulnerable countries and even fewer to the poorest regions of these countries: on a total of 3,952 project registered at the CDM Board today, only 85 are located in Africa, only a few of them devoted to energy. Most of the projects dedicated to rural electrification do not pass through the commercial profitability threshold of private companies and financial markets. Small-scale projects need fast-track, accelerated, simplified procedures and also a much larger incentives than those generated by the CERs carbon credits generated.
The CDM PLUS mechanism would be enacted into an international convention signed under the UNFCCC: ?The signatory parties of the Clean Energy Access Convention (countries members of Annex B of the UNFCCC) will institute in their national legislation a provision authorizing public utilities, on a voluntary basis, to allocate a fraction of the regulated tariff to subsidizing affiliate foundations dedicated to investment in rural electrification using renewable resources?.
To monitor the Mechanism, and to measure progress, an international agency, devoted to the promotion of universal energy access, should be instituted with the following tasks: establishing a systematic review of progress, targets, milestones, deadlines; arbitration of potential conflicts between international investors and concessional authorities; accounting of financial North-South transfers parallel to the Green Climate Fund. The new institution could take place within existing UN agencies or the proposed OrganisationMondiale de l?Environnement.
Twenty years after the Earth Summit in Rio where the UNFCCC was enacted, the CDM PLUS project would transform the international solidarity objectives into concrete realizations, bringing clean kilowatt hours to poor populations presently deprived of access.
The side event will give the floor to presentation of successful experiences and best practices, evaluation of needs and amounts to be invested, the proposed financial mechanism using innovative and additional resources, concessional schemes for rural electrification, etc.

Boscov's Coming to Ohio Valley Mall
Store Opening Planned for October
February 7, 2013
ST. CLAIRSVILLE — A new Boscov's department store is scheduled to open at the Ohio Valley Mall in October — just in time for the 2013 holiday shopping season. Anthony Cafaro Jr....
tdolan: I know EXACTLY what Chapter 11 is, I was just making a statement. Too bad you can't spell.
If you know anything about the Valley big box stores don't do well unless you are Walmart or Lowes... so tell me again, how's Kmart and Sears doing again?

The Boscov that closed in PA., one was at So. Hills Village. That was by group that bought the chain from Al Boscov. They ran the stores into the ground. Al was upset, worried his lifes work would go down the drain. So, he put up his own money, plus some backers, one mentioned in story & bought back the company. He is very involved. Even puts his staff on a bus & they all go to NY to personally examine goods before making buying decisions. The chain is doing fantastic since he took back the company. You are going to love Boscov's. Beautiful store, great merchandise and fantastic pricing. I am just a Boscov customer.

Al Molnar has to be upset about this...He seemingly spends all day/every day busybodying around the mall, snooping around trying to find gossip to print in his weekly 'roundup' column, and when this announcement was made, someone else beat him to the story. Poor Al!

I shopped at the Boscov store in the South Hills Village in Pittsburgh & it is a very nice store. They took the place vacated by Kaufmanns when Macy's acquired them, and there was already a Macy's at that mall. Unfortunately, the Boscov store closed after a few years...never heard why. Hopefully the St.Clairsville store will fare better and stick around.

Mopar Plymouth Race Car Driver Ronnie Sox - Mr. Four SpeedWritten by on August 13, 2007 Contributors: Geoff Stunkard, John Asher, Leslie Lovett, Eric Brooks A/FX and Pro Stock Legend Ronnie Sox Passes At 67
Ronnie Sox, the quiet, blonde-haired, southern gentleman known for his mystical mastery of power-shifting a manual four-speed transmission passed away Saturday, April 22, 2006, at his home near Richmond, Virginia. Ronnie succumbed following a lengthy battle with prostate cancer. His beloved wife Diane, family, and friends were nearby when the legendary driver took his last ride.
During his long and storied drag racing career, the Burlington, North Carolina, native garnered practically every honor and championship available for the full-bodied drag race cars he loved. His wins included NHRA and IHRA World Championships, and he was nominated as AHRA Driver of the Year in 1968. In 2002, Ronnie was an inaugural inductee into the East Coast Drag Times Hall of Fame, just one of the many honors bestowed upon him during his five-decades-long racing career. in 2001, he was named Number 15 in the Top 50 Drivers poll announced by NHRA .
In 1971, Ronnie, along with other invitees Richard Petty and Bobby Unser, were honored guests at the White House, meeting President Richard Nixon. With help from a co-author, Ronnie penned a book titled: The Sox & Martin Book of Drag Racing, which was published in 1974.
Ronnie began his drag racing career as a teenager, sneaking into the local drags and racing his dad's '49 Oldsmobile Rocket 88. Seeking more speed, he soon switched to a Y-Block 312-powered '57 Ford. At the time, his family owned the Sox Sinclair Service, a combination Sinclair gas station and repair shop. the family business developed into a high-performance tuning and speed shop operation where young Ronnie gained both knowledge and customers for his rapidly expanding skills. It was out of that service station that he began running Chevy 409-powered cars and gained a reputation as a skilled driver and power tuner. His '62 409 Chevy "Bubble Top" Bel-Air sedan was a feared competitor in the Optional/Super Stock classes in the Carolinas, or wherever he chose to run his four-speed 409 Chevy.
In 1963, Ronnie partnered with another local Burlington, North Carolina, drag racer, Buddy Martin. The two had previously been competitors, but teamed up to campaign an aluminum front-end, '63 Z-11 option, 427 Impala in the new A/Factory Experimental class. Thus was born the fabled Sox & Martin racing team. Ronnie's own drag racing career would include notable accomplishments during each of the next four decades.
When General Motors boycotted all forms of racing for its divisions, Sox and Martin reluctantly signed on with rival Mercury Division. The former Chevy racers were provided with one of the new '64 Comets equipped with a dual four-barrel, 427 FE Series V-8, with a fiberglass front end, a heavy-duty Top Loader four-speed transmission, and a heavy-duty 9-inch Ford rear axle. Their car was a Comet hardtop coupe, while Mercury teammate Don Nicholson chose the Comet station wagon for its better rear weight distribution. The difference between coupe and wagon was insignificant, and they found immediate success running A/Factory Experimental class in open competition and match races against all challengers in the southeast. They were mostly unknown by the California guys, but their Mercury Division sponsors ordered its North Carolina-based S&M race team to report to Pomona, California, to race at the NHRA Winternationals.
Uncharacteristically, Ronnie was late off the line and lost the A/FX class trophy to Bill Shrewsberry, who later gained fame as a driver of the Hurst Hemi Under Glass Barracuda and other exhibition wheelstanders. Stung by the loss, he righted the ship in that Sunday's Top Stock final eliminations, cleaning house and winning the posted cash ($500), as well as a new Dodge 426 Hemi engine. In those days before huge factory funding, it was usually difficult to make ends meet, so they promptly sold the Hemi engine to help pay for their trip back home to North Carolina.
It was the beginning of a very successful year for the Sox & Martin team and Mercury, and offered what seemed like an exciting proposal for the duo's '65 racing campaign. However, a contract dispute with Mercury found S&M abandoning their short-lived association with Mercury. instead, they signed with Chrysler's Plymouth Division after they were convinced the impressive 426 Hemi engines would be theirs. The team took delivery of their '65 Plymouth Belvedere 426 Hemi four-speed sedan and launched the Plymouth Division's second most successful racing team, just behind NASCAR's Richard Petty.
The familiar red, white, and blue Sox & Martin colors adorned the '65 legal Super Stocker, but the altered wheelbase '65 Plymouth A/FX was easily the most popular with fans. Sox & Martin ran this gutted, lightweight, steel-bodied, homebuilt Funny Car in AHRA open competition events and match races at both well-known and two-lane blacktop-style backwoods local drag strips. They easily racked up an impressive win record against the best match race rivals of the day. Burning through powdered rosin and then backing up to do several more similar burn-throughs for the crowd, the S&M team wowed the usually capacity crowds, running low 9-second runs at 140-plus mph. Those wide-open throttle, power-shifted runs were often performed with the front wheels off the pavement as the legend of Mr. Four Speed grew.
The AWB '65 led to an even wilder '66 Plymouth built on the all-new Barracuda platform. Sox & Martin gutted the car, added structural strength with a tube steel rollcage, added a lightweight fiberglass front clip, altered the wheelbase by shifting the body to the rear on the chassis, and dropped in one of Jake King's powerful 426 Hemi engines. The traditional S&M paint was complemented by eight 26-inch-long ram tubes atop a Hilborn fuel injector that made the crowd's eyes water with heavy doses of nitromethane and alcohol racing fuel. Big loads of nitro and stroker crank match race engines were known to create excessive shock loading on the drivetrain parts and reliability suffered. To remedy the new Funny Car's hunger for parts, S&M reluctantly added a modified Torqueflite transmission. Although Ronnie missed the four-speed, the auto transmission's softer launches all but eliminated the Hemi's hunger for parts.
In spite of a successful match racing season, the arrival of Mercury and Ford's new Logghe tube chassis, flip-top fiberglass Funny Cars, and their 427 SOHC V-8 engines placed the S&M Barracuda at a disadvantage. Ironically, it was old rival Don Nicholson that led the charge when Don's revolutionary new Funny Car won heavily in both 1966 and 1967. Sox & Martin continued to soldier on until 1967 when Chrysler's drag racing brass called a halt to the Funny Car program.
In 1967, Ronnie found himself back at the wheel of an 11-second, four-speed, full-bodied race car, which he adapted to with immediate success. Along with the more docile Super Stocks came the immensely popular Performance Clinics. Sox & Martin carried the banner for the Plymouth Division on the East Coast, while Dick Landy was their West Coast counterpart for Dodge Division. Staged at dealerships, the clinics lured new customers into Plymouth and Dodge dealers by teaching basic as well as advanced drag racing techniques. The clinics covered engines, tuning, chassis prep and tuning, and driving tips, all from the well-traveled, well-schooled clinic stars-Sox & Martin. New car dealers loved the clinics, and reportedly sold thousands of cars as a direct result. The clinics also enhanced awareness of drag racing and increased attendance at local tracks. It was a win-win situation all around when the S&M hauler ramp truck and second race car on an open trailer parked in front of a local Plymouth dealer's showroom. Sox and Martin were the epitome of professionalism for a race team. They dressed in matching uniforms and handled questions with articulate aplomb, capturing legions of fans for Chrysler vehicles and Mopar Performance parts.
Chrysler's two divisions liked the race results and sales they were generating with their drag racing programs. Bolstered by this success, they placed their engineering focus on creating vehicles, parts, and support that would dominate drag racing. When R&D and testing efforts were complete, Chrysler contracted Hurst Corporation to build a short production run of 426 Hemi-powered '68 Dodge Darts and Plymouth Barracuda coupes. Hurst set up a line in the Detroit suburb of Royal Oak and began assembling the all-time baddest production-built vehicles ever offered to the American public. The 426 Hemi Barracudas and Darts were instant legends, claiming loads of Super Stock class and Super Stock Eliminator wins at national and regional events, as well as local tracks.
These street missiles featured the heavy-duty Dana 60 rear axle for stick-shift cars or an 831/44 axle for automatics, a heavy-duty New Process four-speed gearbox or 727 Torqueflite automatic, a thoroughly engineered cross-ram intake manifold carrying a pair of Holley four-barrel carburetors, and a gigantic hoodscoop designed to intimidate the competition, as well as ram cold air to the sealed inlets of the carbs. Factory compression ratios for the Race Hemi 426 were quoted as 14.0:1, and the cylinder heads came with sizeable intake and exhaust ports more than capable of allowing the engines to be revved at 8,000-plus rpm. It was a skillful job of total overkill, and an example of the powerful strength of a vehicle company when it chooses to create a winning racing program.
The new '68 Sox & Martin Hemi Barracuda, capably shoed by Ronnie Sox, was an immediate 10-second winner that kept getting quicker and faster as the team moved its development forward. Now the flagship team for Chrysler's drag racing program, S&M raced, did clinics, and tested hard on their rare off days. It was an all-out, total-war effort intended to dominate in any theatre. S&M clinic appearances were often scheduled for the same weekend as a major event or one of the points meets staged across the country. the team often brought diverse cars, such as their Hemi-powered Road Runner, a 440 wedge B-block-powered GTX, and a Hemi-powered Plymouth Super Bird with the NASCAR-style rear wing. Regardless of body style, any car trimmed in the Sox & Martin colors flat hauled the mail.
Not only did these cars excel in NHRA Super Stock Eliminator, they were also fast in match race trim. This phenomenon grew out of the Chrysler, Ford, and GM drivers' dislike for handicap-style racing and disqualifying break outs for going too fast. They preferred heads-up starts and basic run-whatcha-brung rules. Curiously, most of this was a throwback to the early Funny Car days and the Match Race Mania so loved by tracks and fans.
The Hemi Barracudas and Darts were right at home in these heads-up events and match races. It was this popularity that brought both NHRA and AHRA to offer Pro Stock heads-up racing, beginning with both association's '70 winter meets. Bill Jenkins, always one of S&M's toughest competitors, had a head start on the field by running numerous heads-up events and match races with a two-four carbed, Tunnel-Rammed 427 Camaro running at lighter weight. He dominated the Pro Stock events in early 1970, taking AHRA and NHRA races and the NHRA Gatornationals in March. S&M quickly caught up and dominated the rest of the season. This run-the-table sweep included a team win by Herb McCandless in the Sox & Martin Plymouth Hemi Duster at the Nationals. S&M won every remaining NHRA Pro Stock event that year.
They opened the '71 season where they left off in 1970, winning all the way to midyear in 1971, when they lost at the NHRA Summernationals in Englishtown, New Jersey. The formidable S&M team wasn't outrun at that race, but fell to an untimely flat tire just as they were moving towards the starting line during eliminations.
Those Pro Stock successes were also captured with Ronnie giving his own clinic in shifting the Chrysler Red Stripe four-speed manual gearbox. Unfortunately, the '68 Barracuda he so cherished wasn't the focus of the '70 Pro Stock program. Instead, S&M began the Pro Stock wars with a brand-new, purpose-built '70 Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda coupe and a Hemi Duster. This came about as a result of Chrysler understandably wanting to race what it was selling. That meant 'Cudas (Plymouth shortened the brand name to 'Cuda instead of Barracuda) and Dusters. No matter, S&M's domination of the bracket had all the brand-Xers howling for a rules' break. NHRA's solution meant added weight for any Hemi-powered Pro Stock race car. It seemed that whenever a Hemi car won in NHRA, the rules officials quickly added weight to the minimum for the Chrysler marques. Ultimately, this led to the NHRA's complex system of weight breaks for engines with different heads and bodies with different wheelbases. The 426 Hemi-powered cars were forced to give away more and more until they were finally no longer competitive running at the rules' mandates. By the mid-'70s, Chrysler had scaled back their drag racing programs to avoid the Pro Stock weight break dilemma and what all Chrysler racers and fans thought of as a vendetta against their beloved 426 Hemi engines.
Ronnie Sox and Buddy Martin eventually dissolved their long-standing partnership, but Ronnie continued to field a familiar red, white, and blue, Hemi-powered Pro Stocker. First, it was a Dodge Colt, and, later, a Plymouth Omni. He even drove Dean Thompson's Ford Mustang to an '81 IHRA Pro Stock championship with power provided by Jack Roush.
Sox and Martin briefly teamed up again in 1995, running an IHRA Ford Probe with an 815-inch, Jon Kaase-built, 429 shotgun-style Hemi engine. They planned to run IHRA's Mountain Motor Pro Stock category that year, but a nasty crash totaled the car and nearly cost Ronnie his life. After recuperating, he confined his efforts mainly to the '68 Barracuda SS/A and to driving long-time friend Bob Reed's Sox & Martin clone '68 Barracuda. Showing that he still had it, Ronnie clocked high-8-second, 152-plus-mph times with the four-speed car, thrilling crowds whenever he ran and bringing the fans and even other competitors running to the fences to watch and listen as "Sox hit the gears." It was with the manual four-speed transmission that he gained his reputation as a virtual "can't miss."
Ronnie turned out for last October's East Coast Drag Times Hall of Fame weekend in Henderson, North Carolina. He reported that his treatments and battle against his cancer were going well, and he was optimistic as to the outcome. Sadly, Ronnie Sox passed from us forever on Saturday, April 22, 2006, but his legacy as a driver, racer, and likeable personality will endure forever.

To say that Ronnie Sox was the greatest four-speed driver that ever lived is a bold, but in my opinion, a true statement. The longtime racing partner of Buddy Martin was the winningest Pro Stock driver during the short-lived four-speed era (1970-'72) of drag racing. He claimed six Super Stock victories from 1967 to 1969. according to teammate Buddy Martin, "Ronnie's skills as a driver were a gift. He was coordinated with the hand and foot. In addition to his shifting, his reaction times were outstanding. Everybody drove four-speed cars at that time, and other drivers would miss gears left and right. That never happened with Ronnie. Everybody had an excuse, but Ronnie could get into anyone's car and have no problems whatsoever." Sadly, Ronnie Sox passed away on April 22 after a long battle with cancer. -Randy BoligSox and the Sox & Martin race cars were loved by fans wherever they traveled, but the crowds at Bristol International Dragway were something special. Here, Ronnie leaves against Dick Harrell's Camaro in the AHRA Spring National Grand American race at the old Bristol, prior to its complete makeover a few years ago.Ronnie Sox (right) talks it over with fellow Pro Stock competitor "Fast Eddie" Schartman. Sox and Schartman (who drove a factory-sponsored Mercury Cougar) were fierce competitors on the track and good friends everywhere else. Like Sox, Schartman began driving and tuning race cars and power-shifting manual four-speed transmissions. On this day, they were on hand for an early spring, round-robin-style, Pro Stock shoot-out at Detroit Dragway. Sox was very much an old school racer, fully capable of turning wrenches and making tuning adjustments. Fortunately, the S&M teams were so professionally organized that other team members like Jake King allowed him to concentrate solely on driving. Without mechanical distractions, he excelled at timely starting line leaves and his legendary four-speed wizardry.Ronnie Sox's first Pro Stock 'Cuda leaves the starting line on a time trial run at Detroit Dragway. Ronnie, Eddie Schartman from Ohio, Bill Jenkins from Pennsylvania, Bill Hielscher from Texas, Don Nicholson from California, plus Dave Lyall and Mike Fons from Detroit, were booked into Gil Kohn's famed Detroit Dragway for a round-robin-style Pro Stock event. Kohn owned tracks at Detroit, New York, and Kansas City.Although Sox & Martin ran a 426 Hemi-powered Belvedere sedan in NHRA Super Stock Eliminator, they fielded this considerably more radical '66 Barracuda coupe in match races and AHRA heads-up competition. The Barracuda featured an altered wheelbase, gutted interior with full rollcage protection, fiberglass front end, a straight axle front end, American magnesium five-spoke wheels up front, and Keystone Kustomags on the rear with M&H Racemaster tires. Power came from a Jake King-built, 426 Hemi running Hilborn injectors (note the long intake stacks protruding through the hood) on heavy doses of nitro methane and alcohol fuel. The toothy Barracuda painted on the door became a S&M trademark. Sponsors were scarce, but included Gate City Motor Company, a Plymouth dealer in Greensboro, North Carolina; Doug Thorley, who built headers to fit the car at his California shop; and the Hurst Corporation.Ronnie's reputation as the premier four-speed master was unquestioned, and his driving ability was highly respected by Pro Stock racing peers. Here, he takes on "Akron Arlen" Vanke in Vanke's '68 Barracuda at the NHRA '70 Winternationals. Vanke's car was hastily converted from Super Stock/B class trim to run as a Pro Stocker. Many racers lucky enough to have a '68 Barracuda or Dart made little more than engine modifications and tire changes to compete in the earliest days of Pro Stock (1970-1971). By 1972, the engineered efforts of the Ted Spehar-developed Motown Missile factory test mule, Don Nicholson's 427 SOHC Ford-powered Maverick, and Bill Jenkins' surprising '72 small-block Vega made the S/S-trimmed Darts and Barracudas obsolete. With the '70 'Cuda, Ronnie dominated Pro Stock, going undefeated until losing the Gatornationals to Jenkins' big-block Camaro. Displayed decals are all sponsors in the Sox & Martin Performance Clinic program. Manufacturers anteed up $5,000 for the entire year's program.Although Ronnie didn't win the '70 NHRA U.S. Nationals, a Sox & Martin team car driven by fellow North Carolinian Herb McCandless did. Here, McCandless leaves almost dead-on with "Akron Arlen" Vanke in a heads-up duel between Hemi 426-powered Plymouth Dusters. McCandless was part of the S&M Pro Stock juggernaugt for several years and always a solid back-up to the team's multi-car effort.Ronnie leaves the line at the '71 NHRA Winternationals held at the Los Angeles County Fairgrounds, Pomona, California. Note the Halibrand magnesium rear wheels and Firestone tires. Dave Christie's name now adorns the door along with Jake King's. Christie turned wrenches and took turns driving other S&M cars as part of the S&M team effort.This Plymouth GTX Sox & Martin team car was running in B/Modified Production class. Both Hemi 426 and 440 V-8 engines were run in this chassis, depending on which sanctioning body and Eliminator the team chose to enter. Although it appears stock, the extra-deep oil pan sump appears beneath the undercarriage, and the Firestone slicks show this heavyweight Plymouth was a serious effort.
Ronnie enjoyed driving the Sox & Martin 426 Hemi-powered, Hurst Performance-built '68 Plymouth Barracuda over all his other rides. His unequalled mastery of the full-throttle, power-shifting technique and instant starting line reflexes were tops in the late-'60s. Later, when a resurgence of the Hemi cars in SS/A surfaced, he assembled his own stick-shift Barracuda and drove Bob Reed's S&M clone '68 SS/A at several nostalgia events.NHRA's Springnationals were run only one year-1968 at the Englishtown, New Jersey, track. Later, E-Town events included NHRA Summernationals in July, and the current Mopar NHRA Nationals in the fall. Here, Sox leaves under the watchful eye of NHRA Chief Starter and Division 2 Director Buster Couch. Couch considered the NC-based Sox & Martin team one of his "own" Division 2 racers and proudly beamed when they won, which was often. Note the Hooker Headers decals that replaced Doug's Headers on the car's front fenders. Hooker signed on with the S&M Performance Clinic program and gained access to the team cars for their products. The Hooker Heart logo has become a classic.Today Pro Stock chassis science teaches us that wheelstands should be avoided as wasted motion, but in 1970, they were both entertaining and a means of transferring weight and increased traction to the rear tires. Here, Sox performs a perfectly executed, wheels-up launch in the '70 'Cuda.Ronnie leaves the line at the NHRA Springnationals, 1968, in Englishtown, New Jersey, in the famed '68 Barracuda of Sox & Martin. Note the relatively small diameter header collector. Drag tire engineering hadn't caught up with the 426 Hemi's power-making abilities, and sharp engine builders and tuners such as Jake King used lots of tricks to prevent low-end tire spin.Sox & Martin's Plymouth Omni leaves the burnout box during the NHRA Gatornationals at Gainesville Raceway, Gainesville, Florida. These short Hemi-powered Pro Stockers were a handful to drive and proved fatal to a few drivers. Ronnie warms the Goodyears before making another 7-second, 190-plus-mph run.Note the major differences in this '68 photo of Ronnie in the Sox & Martin Hemi Barracuda and the current SS/A Automatic and SS/A race cars. In the early days, these cars were basically stock vehicles with no interior rollcage and an up-in-the-air stance. They ran under considerably more restrictive engine rules, but still managed low 10s at 149-plus mph.One of Ronnie's last Pro Stock rides was this Sox & Martin Plymouth Omni. This car was built by Don Hardy Race Cars and ran a destroked 396-inch Hemi. These Omnis and Dodge Colts were unstable because of their short wheelbase and extreme front/rear weight bias. Here, he makes a run on the concrete surface of Suffolk Dragway in Virginia.Although they were teammates in the Chrysler Corporation's drag racing program in the '60s, Ronnie often faced Dick Landy's California-based Dodge Division cars during class run-offs and eliminations. His SS/D Plymouth Hemi 426 GTX takes on Bob Lambeck in Landy's SS/E Automatic Dodge with 440 wedge power. This was during the '68 NHRA Springnationals in Englishtown, New Jersey's Madison Township Raceway. Note the old E-Town timing tower and absence of tall sound walls in this photo.
