1929 Ford Sedan - MidstreamWritten by on November 1, 2011 Brian Paul's chopped-and-channeled '29 Ford sedan is all about timing
Brian Paul's wife, Ann, thought her husband had lost his mind when he traded their recently finished '63 Chevy Bel Air custom for a 1929 Ford sedan that wasn't! What Brian saw was huge potential in the tricked-out Ford that was running around in primer and had to make the trade. Switching horses midstream worked for Brian. He put his finishing touches on his '29 and won his class at the 2011 Detroit Autorama and took home the STREET RODDER Driven Award, presented by Lokar Performance.
Brian was born into hot rodding, with his father a member of the Michigan Hot Rod Association. Brian's Ford was originally started by Joe Lutz at Hot Rod Dynamics in Lenoir, North Carolina. Lutz had decided to build a street rod with a chassis, suspension, and body frame designed on Solidworks CAD software. Lutz was working as an R&D engineer for Roush Yates Racing engines while designing the street rod on his lunch hour, then searching for obsolete parts on the Internet at night. The chassis was designed for driveability, the front wheels are pushed out in front of everything. You could drive this car up a curb without touching the framehorns. The chassis is an underslung design to get the car low but still provide road clearance. The framehorns were cut and formed to match a stock Model A framehorn but flipped upside down and located under the drilled '46 Ford axle. It's an old Indy car–style pull rod and rocker arm suspension with Aldan Eagle adjustable inboard coilovers. The rear axle is a Chevy 12-bolt with a 3:55 gears and located with a pair of real 48-inch NASCAR truck arms that were used at Bristol and somehow wound up on this '29 along with a Panhard bar, coil springs, and Monroe Gasmatic shocks.
The front and rear brakes are aluminum 12-inch Buick 45-fin drums with Wilson Welding backing plates. The rear brakes have custom 3/4-ton truck backing plates with their finned drums. A Wilwood triple master cylinder clutch and brake pedal assembly is tucked into the '29 footwell.
The Vintage Schroeder sprint car steering box and column are must-have items, while Lutz fabricated the steering rod and drilled-out steering arm. The chassis rolls on four red powdercoated Vintage wheels measuring 16x4 Artillery wheels with 16x4.5 Firestone Deluxe Champion bias-ply front tires. In back, 16x8 rear wheels with 16x8.5 Firestone dragster cheater slicks are in use.
After searching the Internet, Lutz came across a '56 330 DeSoto S-24 Hemi (rare factory 4 bbl) in Detroit. The owner of the engine explained that the old Hemi had been used in a Chris Craft wooden speed boat, but was pulled out to be freshened up many years ago. The engine was rebuilt and then put on a shelf to collect dust for years to come. When Lutz got the engine, he went over it, filled up with oil, primed the oil pump, lubed the cylinders, and fired it up. It ran fine, but sounded too stock. So he pulled the engine, pulled the cam, and sent it to Clay Smith Cams for a regrind. He didn't recall the specifics, but Lutz told them what he was doing with it and that the requirements were it needed to rattle the windows and piss off the neighbors. The engine got new-style rear main seal and a double roller timing chain along with a new oil pump. The 3/8-inch laser cut header flanges were designed by Lutz. The 1-5/8-inch primary tubes are from a Schoenfeld header kit for a small-block Ford sprint car. The tubes were used on the opposite sides they were meant for and a few tubes needed to be modified. The stock iron manifold has been powdercoated, and there's an Edelbrock ASV 650-cfm carb under the '56 Cadillac air cleaner.
People said it would be impossible to get a five-speed trans in the small confines of a '29 Ford. Through the use of a Hot Heads adapter that matched the T5 to the Hemi and implementing a Camaro shifter, the package fits neatly within the Model A. Lutz used a Carolina Clutch with a Tilton Hydraulic throw-out bearing.
The sedan came as a basket case and upon closer examination Lutz realized there were a lot of bondo and pop rivets! He channeled the body 3 inches over the frame. With the framerails being 4 inches tall it left 1 inch of the framerail below the bottom of the body. The top was chopped 5 inches. Almost all of the sheetmetal from the belt line down was rusted away so it was replaced by custom panels, eliminating the factory inner fender area and making way for the extreme rear drop over the rear axle. Speed holes were drilled in the visor and lower rear panel. The Model A taillights are frenched high up on the body by the rear window. The spacious sliding ragtop roof was a universal kit Lutz ordered from Sunway Sliding Rag Tops. Lutz kept the cowl tank. He cut out the bottom of the tank, cleaned it out, then welded it back together using gas tank sealer. The '29 grille is channeled into the 'rails and it contains a custom aluminum radiator with an electric fan. The headlights were one of the changes Brian made to the car once he got it. He put a set of stainless steel King Bee headlights with internal turn signals.
The car won Goodguys pick at the Run to the Sun in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Lutz's '29 got so much attention that he started getting asked to build for other people. This car led to Lutz's current business Hot Rod Dynamics.
Danny Hooper and Lutz worked out a deal swapping Hooper's Deuce for Lutz's '29. Hooper put about 3,000 miles on the '29 when he saw Brian Paul's '63 Chevy Bel Air custom. Hooper and Brian saw each other's cars and another trade ensued. Brian thought he could get the '29 finished the way he wanted and take a shot at winning his class at the Detroit Autorama, and as the saying goes, "The rest is history."
The interior was covered with jute and Dynamat, and Brian and his friend Steve Mudge redid the wiring with an EZ wire harness. The interior panels were fabricated by Brian and covered gray vinyl with plush gray carpeting covering the floor and back seat area. Brian fabbed up a set of aluminum bomber-style seats and had leather seat cushions made with stitching to match the pinstriping by Willies Work Shop in Port Huron, Michigan. The steering wheel was swapped out for a Mooneyes silver metalflake wheel that matches the DuPont Argent Silver paint on the sedan. The dash is filled with gauges from the '54 DeSoto donor car. The '54 Desoto speedometer is mounted in an old Appleton spotlight. The engine start button is a One Player button from an old pinball game. The dash is beautifully pinstriped along with the rest of the car and vintage cooler by Greg Bock of Brush by Bock in New Baltimore, Michigan. Glen Vierheilig sprayed the beautiful two-tone Argent silver and matte black paint. Greg Bock's work on the car is tasteful and understated; Brian really knew what he wanted and Bock nailed it. The stock iron intake manifold and headers along with most of the powdercoated items were done by QC Coatings in Township of Shelby, Michigan. Brian added chrome trim rings to the wheels and finished the firewall in a checkered flag pattern. Brian and his friends, Steve, Glen, Larry, and Tony, worked on this car until the night before Autorama. The last minute thrash is one of those hot rodding stories that Brian will remember for the rest of his life. Now you know the rest of the story.

The front axle is a drilled '46 Ford that rests beneath the Model A flipped framehorns, giving an underslung appearance and treatment. Reminiscent of an old Indy car, the front suspension is based on Aldan Eagle adjustable coilovers mounted inboard and operate in a "pull rod and rocker arm suspension."Forward you will find (12-inch) Buick 45-fin drums with Wilson Welding backing plates. Note the bumpstops on the top of the framehorns to cushion should the I-beam axle bottom out.

Indeed - the future's bright......
It's always a danger when you put a team of (relative) strangers together as the blurred line between fun & competitive can get completely lost.
Whilst I only ever enter thes things for shits & giggles these days it's hard not to set yourself some personal goal or another. This year at 24/12 I'd aimed to get 6 laps in our (12hr pairs) race but only did 4 (mind you, that was before I'd ridden the new course!). It wasn't because I couldn't or didn't want to but a decision was taken due to my team-mate's injury - if I'd carried on he would have insisted on going out again and I was not prepared to let him risk it. It still took his Mrs & mine to talk him down.
I don't blame him at all & I certainly won't beat myself up about not achieving the target I'd set for myself. An interview with Gary Fisher I read many, many years ago has always stuck with me, he said something along the lines of:
"The only person we ever need to test ourselves against is ourself - the true winner of any race is not the man who crosses the line first but the one with the biggest grin".
Wise words from someone with questionable facial hair.

Trey Hillman Pregame Media Session – June 12
Short Term Memory
Manager Trey Hillman was asked about the importance of forgetting a difficult loss like yesterday's against the Cleveland Indians. "I would like in some form or another like to put the last five weeks out of my mind, you have to learn from your mistakes and move on," Hillman said. He stated that being home and starting interleague play could be the spark this team needs to catapult them into a winning streak and propel them in the right direction. "It's always nice to see other teams from around the league, I'm a baseball fan too, it should be a fun a homestand," said the manager.
No Pessimism in this Clubhouse
Manager Trey Hillman has told us on numerous occasions this season that at no point will he ever give up on this team, nor will they as a club ever count themselves out. "Hey man, there is optimism in that clubhouse, it's hard to play ball like this but you have to let it go," Hillman said. "We have not lost hope, our confidence is high, and we are thankful every day for our jobs, the ballpark we play in and the city we play for," exclaimed Hillman.
Injury Update
Alex Gordon has been doing two reps of ground ball drills, and has been taking light batting practice. He is also jogging on a consistent basis, but his lateral movement is being watched rigorously and evaluated daily.
Robinson Tejeda pitched last night for the Double-A affiliate Northwest Arkansas Naturals and he is progressing nicely and is being monitored for reassignment.
Mike Aviles is still resting his elbow and there can be absolutely no movement in his elbow for up to one more week.
Sidney Ponson threw a promising bullpen session yesterday, and is scheduled for another in the coming days.
John Buck is felling much better then he had in past days, but is nowhere near being ready to put on a uniform for the Royals.
With all of these players, Hillman says, "There is not a set timetable for any of our injured players, as each day comes they get healthier and when they are ready to perform, we will let you know."

Electrochemical Machining of a Micro Bore
Application ID: 13267
For several high-precision applications, especially in hydraulic systems and fuel injectors, micro bores are needed. In most cases the shape of the injection hole, especially the edge rounding, has a significant influence on the atomization of fluids and therefore on the combustion process. Usually these micro bores are machined by electrical discharge machining (EDM). Due to the process characteristics of EDM sharp edges arise and a specific influence on the edge shape is not possible. For this reason a specific adjustment of the edge rounding is required. Therefore an Electrochemical Machining (ECM) process has been developed and investigated by help of COMSOL Multiphysics.

The debate over the "fiscal cliff" continues to take a partisan tone, with just days remaining before the automatic tax hikes and spending cuts kick in.
On the Senate floor today, Democratic leader Harry Reid charged that House Speaker John Boehner "seems to care more about keeping his speakership than about keeping the nation on sound financial footing."
In response, a Boehner spokesman said Reid "should talk less and legislate more if he wants to avert the fiscal cliff."
Not long after Reid spoke, President Barack Obama's plane landed in suburban Maryland after a flight from Hawaii. The White House says the president made phone calls yesterday to Reid and Boehner, and to the House and Senate minority leaders, to get an update on efforts to avoid the cliff.
Senate GOP leader Mitch McConnell's office says Obama's phone call was the first from a Democrat on the fiscal cliff since Thanksgiving.
The questions hanging over Washington today center on whether Reid will offer a specific piece of legislation, whether McConnell will let it proceed to a vote on the Senate floor -- and, if it were to pass, whether Boehner would then call House members back to Washington to vote on it. Chances of achieving that before the end of the year appear remote.
Previous Story
The White House says President Barack Obama has made separate phone calls to congressional leaders to discuss the impending fiscal cliff.
A White House official says Obama called Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, House Speaker John Boehner, Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell and House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi late Wednesday. The president made the calls before leaving his Hawaiian vacation for Washington, D.C.
The calls come amid little progress before the Dec. 31 deadline to avoid the fiscal cliff. Americans face major tax increases and spending cuts if Congress and the White House fail to reach a compromise by the end of the year.

I have read many articles that recommend calling the local game biologist for an area and picking his brain, along with talking to other folks via phone for info on a unit. I have hunted elk for 20+ years but just switched over to archery. After two years of tag soup in a new unit I am thinking there may be something to this research idea, never done it before so where do I start? If any of you work the phone to research a hunting area, or drop in on a biologist, what types of questions should I ask? Besides, "Where will the elk be during archery season?"
Thanks for ALL thoughts and suggestions!

High-endurance campaigning
Politics | Republicans in Cincinnati have pushed hard to send Mitt Romney over the top today
"High-endurance campaigning" Continued...
CINCINNATI—On this Election Day it seems only a slight breeze could tilt the outcome in Ohio, the state most likely to be the deciding factor in the presidential race, toward one candidate or the other.
The race remains precariously balanced between President Barack Obama and Republican challenger Mitt Romney, with the most recent surveys of Ohio voters suggesting either a tie or a lead of a few percentage points for President Obama. Just a few thousand voters who show up at polls today—or who don't—could decide Ohio, whose 18 Electoral College votes are crucial in Gov. Romney's bid for the presidency.
On the ground, Romney supporters have been working feverishly over the past few days, weeks, and months to ensure conservative voters—and independents fed up with the status quo—indeed show up at the polls today.
Although the Obama campaign has triple the number of field offices in Ohio as Romney—137 versus 40—volunteers for both candidates say there's been a drop in enthusiasm this year among Obama supporters. Republican energy, moreover, has increased: Romney volunteers reportedly made 19 times as many house visits in Ohio as supporters of Sen. John McCain did in 2008.
The effort has been especially intense in Hamilton County, which encompasses Cincinnati in the southwest corner of the state and is home to 800,000 people. One-fifth of the presidential candidates' advertising expenses for Ohio has been spent here. Republicans have made tens of thousands of house visits in the county, and hundreds of thousands of phone calls (397,741 as of last Wednesday).
On Monday, at the Republican Party's Westwood Victory Center, on the fourth floor of an office building in Cincinnati's northwest corner, volunteers old and young dialed phone numbers of potential Romney voters, specifically asking them when they planned to vote on Tuesday: "In the morning, during the day, or in the evening?"
Although it's a testimony to the tenacity of campaign workers, repeated calls and house visits have annoyed some residents. Charles Lenny Kleiner, who was one of a half-dozen volunteers working the Victory Center phone bank when I arrived, said one woman he telephoned told him, "I'll be glad when this election is over. My phone will stop ringing." Kleiner said he gets about 10 political calls a day himself.
At 66, Kleiner has a full white beard he occasionally dyes black in order to give Abraham Lincoln impersonations. (I mistook him for Lincoln when he handed me a business card with a photo.) This year is the first time he's volunteered for a presidential campaign. Kleiner is Catholic, a Vietnam veteran, and said he's helping the Romney campaign "mostly because of abortion and birth control. [Obama] was forcing that on the Catholics."
Four sophomores from a local public high school also made phone calls. Rebekah Santel said her U.S. history teacher made students spend 10 hours volunteering for a campaign as part of their coursework. Most classmates chose to help Democratic campaigns, but Santel and about half a dozen others chose Republicans. (Santel said she was a fan of Republican Steve Chabot, an incumbent U.S. representative from Ohio who is campaigning for reelection here.) For the 15-year-old sophomore, making campaign calls has been a learning experience: "People are so rude! But there are some people who are like, 'Yay! Romney!'"
It terms of dedication, few match Jim and Vickie Moser, 66 and 56 respectively, who said they knocked on around 300 doors Monday, asking residents if they were voting Republican. The couple has made more than 10,000 house visits since they began campaigning during the first week of October. "People know us by name at different doors because we've knocked at the same doors so many times," Vickie said. Some get to meet their 9-year-old Saint Bernard, Max, as well. "He eats Democrats," said Jim.
The surprise is that the Mosers are not from Cincinnati but Santa Barbara, Calif. After setting out on a yearlong tour of the United States in August, they decided to interrupt their trip in order to help swing the Ohio vote toward Romney. After walking six days a week for five weeks, they've both lost weight, and Jim's new brown Nike running shoes already have mud stains and a worn heel.
The Mosers are concerned about the sour economy's effect on families. They said they made house calls in one run-down Cincinnati neighborhood that smelled of sewer and had broken sidewalks: "There were multiple generations we saw and they were all living in the same state of depression," Vickie said. "It seemed like they had been betrayed. That's what it felt like."
Jim, who said he grew up poor and came out of a difficult family situation himself, added, "I just don't believe government is the answer for that type of stuff."
In 2008 Obama won Hamilton County, normally a Republican stronghold, by 21,000 votes—thanks to enthusiasm among union workers and African-Americans, and an apparent lack of excitement for Sen. McCain among conservative voters. Four years later, the Obama presidency's effect has been to energize Republicans.
"The enthusiasm against Obama is just overwhelming," said Will Riddle, a 34-year-old evangelical who moved to Cincinnati from Boston four years ago to assist with a church plant. Last Friday night Riddle and a friend, volunteering for the Ohio Christian Alliance, dropped off voter's guides at 60 area churches in a blitz that began at 6:30 and finished at 11:30. Riddle planned to work as a poll watcher for the Romney campaign on Tuesday.
"It's very clear to me that Obama has a Marxist agenda for America," he said. "I'm just looking for any opportunity to slow this train down."
Ohio's polls will close at 7:30 EST on Tuesday evening. As of Friday, more than 1.6 million Ohioans had already voted early or mailed in absentee ballots, according to Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted's office.

AG044: The Princess and the Togepi
this wiki
The Princess and the Togepi (Japanese: カスミ登場!トゲピーとまぼろしの王国! Enter Misty! Togepi and the Mirage Kingdom!) is the 4th episode of Pokémon: Advanced Challenge.
Ash and co reunite with their old friend Misty, who is happy to meet May and Max for the first time. Soon, they enter a kingdom dedicated to Togepi and soon meet Sara, princess of the Togepi Kingdom. Team Rocket also teams up with Colonel Hansen, who wants to rule the kingdom with an iron fist. What will happen to Togepi now, and has Max learned a way how to keep Brock from flirting with pretty girls?
Episode Plot
The gang is waiting for someone to return by the lake. That someone is Misty, along with Togepi. Misty begins to ask Brock and Ash how they are and Brock how her sisters are. May and Max begin to have interest in her. Misty knows already who they are. Ash sees an invitation to Togepi Festival and goes inside, but Misty reminds him they are her guests. Two men dressed appear and take Misty and Togepi inside the building.
The men are Team Rocket who took Misty and Togepi. The plane begins to take off, but the gang takes a rope in time before it gets off. The gang enters the plane and the plane crosses the desert and goes through a sandstorm. The plane arrives at a town called Mirage Kingdom. Misty demands to know who they are, so Team Rocket takes off the disguises. This time, Team Rocket is after Togepi. A man appears, stopping Meowth from attacking. Team Rocket mentions it is Colonel Hansen, who is furious at them. Colonel Hansen berated Team Rocket by saying that their plan was a failure since all he wanted was a Togepi, not Ash and his friends. Colonel Hansen demands Togepi, but when Misty does not hand it, a Shedinja appears, attacking them. More Pokémon appear - Ninjask, making Misty scared of the Bugs.
Brock sends Mudkip to fight. Ninjask use Shadow Ball, to which Pikachu uses Thunderbolt and Mudkip Water Gun, negating the attacks. Shedinja goes after Misty's Togepi. Misty, Max and May hide, but Shedinja found them. Misty sends Corsola and it uses Spike Cannon, but the Shedinja does not feel anything. Shedinja uses Solar Beam, destroying much. Togepi is blasted off, and a woman finds it and turns to her servant, as they need to heal it.
Pikachu uses Thunderbolt against Ninjask, but it is an illusion of Double Team. Ash almost falls into a hole and Brock realizes that the Ninjask have dug the hole, so Ash and Brock go in. Meanwhile, Col. Hansen reports the attack and Miranda goes to tell the King that the princess got Togepi. Misty appears, demanding Togepi back, but so does Col. Hansen. The King has been explained that Togepi is, indeed, Misty's. The princess introduces herself as Sara. The King explains that Col. Hanson has been plotting to disrupt things for the ceremony, so he orders to prepare a boat to make the gang go away. The woman explains that Togepi is the guardian of peace in Mirage Kingdom.
However, the ceremony makes Sara the heir of the throne, but Sara is not so successful as her father and without Togepi the ceremony cannot start. Sara tells that that Col. Hansen was plotting to steal Togepi and make himself the King. Meanwhile, Hansen tells Team Rocket he needs Togepi to be the King. So, Team Rocket will catch it in offer for power. When the gang is about to leave, they see a mirage of the temple downwards. Togepi begins to float, but is stopped by a Shadinja. Shedinja uses Solar Beam, but Misty gets Togepi before the attack. Hansen appears and orders Shedinja to use Solar Beam. Pikachu uses Thunderbolt, cancelling the attack.
- Featured Pokémon: Carvanha, Diglett, Minun, Slugma.
- The "Who's that Pokémon?" answer was Minun.
- This episode has an exact year between the Japanese and US airing.
- Even in this episode Misty pulls Brock's ear.
- This is the first appearance of Misty's Advanced Generation outfit.

In Zimbra are tasks and appointment two different things in different folders.
Can they be both shown on same calendar in lihtning ?
I have synchronized lightning with Zimbra calendar and all works well except I don't see Zimbra's tasks in Lightning and when I add task in Lightning it doesn't show up in Zimbra tasks.
I solved this by adding another calendar whic sync with Zimbra's tasks, but this isn't practical solution.

4 Reasons to Book a Cruise Now
Last weekend's Costa Concordia accident, when the Carnival luxury liner tipped over after running aground on a rock off the Tuscan coast, was a thankfully rare tragedy. But even one such event is enough to scare some people away from floating vacations. If you're not one of the skittish, that temporary slowdown in bookings is just one reason this is a great time to schedule a cruise.

Washington, DC (Sports Network) - Eric Fehr scored the game-winner at 37
seconds of overtime, as the Washington Capitals overcame a three-goal first-
period deficit to down Boston, 4-3, at Verizon Center.
Fehr was skating over the Boston blue line when Nicklas Backstrom laid a lead
pass one stride ahead. The veteran grinder accepted the feed, skated between a
pair of Bruins defenders and scored with a rising shot to the far post.
Mike Ribeiro and Tomas Kundratek tallied in the second period and Wojtek
Wolski notched the tying score late in regulation for the Capitals,
who have taken four of their last five.
Braden Holtby hung in and earned the win with a 30-save effort.

Earlier today GamePolitics reported on a study published in the journal Pediatrics which details U.S. and Japanese longitudinal studies suggesting that violent video game play leads to increased aggression in children.
Of the research, Iowa State professor Craig Anderson, whose work constitutes the American segment of the report, said:
We now have conclusive evidence that playing violent video games has harmful effects on children and adolescents.
But, in a letter to Pediatrics, Christopher Ferguson, a researcher at Texas A&M International University, has called the Anderson study into question. Ferguson claims that the research contains "numerous flaws" and disputes its meaningfulness. Ferguson writes:
In the literature review the authors suggest that research on video game violence is consistent when this is hardly the case. The authors here simply ignore a wide body of research which conflicts with their views…
The authors fail to control for relevant "third" variables that could easily explain the weak correlations that they find. Family violence exposure for instance, peer group influences, certainly genetic influences on aggressive behavior are just a few relevant variables that ought either be controlled or at minimum acknowledged as alternate causal agents for (very small) link between video games and aggression…
Lastly the authors link their results to youth violence in ways that are misleading and irresponsible. The authors do not measure youth violence in their study. The [research tool used] is not a violence measure, nor does it even measure pathological aggression. Rather this measure asks for hypothetical responses to potential aggressive situations, not actual aggressive behaviors.

Hi All,
I'm on Zimbra 5.0Beta3 (upgraded from a 5.0Beta2 install - which was the inital install).
Our mails have started deferring and I can't find why. It doesn't seem to be the usual reasons listed in the Mail Queue Monitoring section on the wiki, as /var/log/secure shows that connections have gone through fine.
This is on CentOS 5. The install has always said the stats failed to start (since the Beta2 install), but in Beta3 it also says that antivirus has failed, but a ps ax shows that clam and freshclam are running.
Looking in the maillog each time I try get the deferred details I'll see this message.

Thanks for any help. If anyone knows a way I could get these mails to come through until the issue is properly resolved that'd be great too, as the mail is quickly backing up.

Tallahassee, FL - EJ Manuel threw for a career-high 380 yards and two touchdowns and ran for another 102 yards as fourth-ranked Florida State rallied from a two-touchdown deficit to defeat No. 10 Clemson 49-37 on Saturday night.

Knives at Dawn: The Cooking Competition You've Never Heard About
By root on February 01, 2010 12:06 PM
I just finished reading Andrew Friedman's food geeky book, Knives at Dawn, which chronicles last year's bid by an American team—led by Daniel Boulud and Thomas Keller—to win the international Bocuse D'Or cooking competition. Never heard of it? Though Americans seem to have an endless appetite for cooking competitions (witness the success of Top Chef and Iron Chef), this one has largely flown under the radar, though it has a long and storied history and a distinguished pedigree, having been founded by none other than legendary French chef Paul Bocuse.

|Holyoke cheer squad continues to improve
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
Holyoke High School's cheer squad faced tough competition at the United Spirit Association Rocky Mountain Classic regional competition in Broomfield as they competed with 5A and 4A teams Saturday, Nov. 2.
Holyoke joined five other teams in the varsity show cheer intermediate division. Although Holyoke finished in sixth, coach Jane Zink noted that the girls looked much sharper than they had in the previous week's competition.
The team is still competing without Brittney Prottsman, which Zink said forced the squad to rearrange their routine and do some things differently than they normally would when they have all six girls.

Help! My 7 mo. old baby only wants to eat solids.
My breastfed baby went from eating an estimated 30 ounces of breastmilk per day (nursing and bottle feeding) to now eating less than 15 ounces/day (after introducing solids for about 7 weeks). I've fed him solids according to the guidlines provided by the doctor, which were 3-9 Tbls. of cereal/day, 1/2 cup vegetables/day, AND 1/2-1 cup fruit/day (for a baby 6-8 mo.). Until yesterday, I was feeding 4 Tbls. of oatmeal cereal along with 1/4 cup of fruit 2x/day (breakfast and dinner), and 1/2 cup vegetables/day (lunch). I used 1.75 ounces of breastmilk in the cereal and gave him 3.25 ounces of milk BEFORE the breakfast and lunch feedings. At lunch he got between 4-5 ounces of milk BEFORE the vegetables. I nursed him once in the evening, and once at bedtime. Sometimes a comfort nursing in the middle of the night. And one nursing in the morning before breakfast. He's gone from enjoying his milk to being uninterested in it, and ravenous with the solids. I also suspect he is teething.

I had the same problem and concern at about 6-7 month old son who went from drinking 28-32 oz to just barely 20 oz. My son would eat solids just fine but only take in a few ounces of milk with them. Luckily, something else brought us to our doctor. She said that as long as he is getting about 16 oz a day, not to worry unless of course we see any signs of illness or dehydration, etc. We did decide to make a change on our own and began offering him his bottle first. With this new plan he will usually take 6 oz before breaking, then we burb and begin the cereal or veggies - which again, he has no problem scarfing down. This has helped to increase his intake, keep him hydrated, nurished and certainly eased my mind.posted 09/26/2007 by a BabyCenter Member
My daughter is 7 months as well, she only eats three 6 ounce bottles a day. One when she wakes in the morning, one before her nap and one before bed. The rest of the time she eats solid foods.I give her fruit and cereal for breakfast, veggies for lunch and she also drinks 4 ounces of juice with her lunch. And then she eats what I cook for dinner, I just put it in a food processer. And her pediatrician thinks that her eating habbits are very normal.posted 09/28/2007 by a BabyCenter Member
Because it's time to let them eat more solids.... I think parents need to stop listening to every damn piece of advice they get and start doing what's best for your child as an individual. They let you know when they are ready and it sounds to me as though your child is way ready for more!posted 11/17/2009 by TerraShishido
Breastmilk (or formula) should be the primary source of nutrition until 12 months according to the AAP. The amounts of solids suggested above seem a bit much for a breastfed baby. It sounds as if your baby may also be going through a nursing strike. Reduce the amount of solids offered and keep offering the breast on demand and before solids and your LO should return to breastfeeding. Kellymom has some great suggestions, based on evidence and research from leading nutrition and child experts, on how to offer solids to the breastfed baby. (See http://www.kellymom.com/nutrition/solids/solids-how.html) Offering too many solids tends to babies weaning earlier. (If you want to start the weaning process sooner this may be what you want, but if weaning isn't something you want, you may want to be cautious with the use of solids.) These are just suggestions. Consult other sources (beyond just asking other individuals) and, as always, decide for yourself what is best for you and your child.posted 11/09/2010 by tleebeck
If babies eat too many solids and not enough milk, they can get constipated. A lot of times, they like food. It is exciting after all! It's up to the parent to know what's best for the baby and find a healthy medium.posted 11/10/2010 by a BabyCenter Member
All I am going to say is, Terra should just have kept her two cents to herself on this subject OR at least tried to communicate the information better. She should know its not easy figuring out all the baby stuff by yourself sometimes and it helps to find out if the things you are doing right as a mother are hindering/not hindering your child...posted 11/11/2010 by Sarah256
I know that it is rather unnerving when your child is that age. Having said that, I had to start giving my son very small amounts of pablum when he was only 6 weeks old. (yes, I did say weeks) I took him to our family doctor as at the time I was nursing and he was taking the bottle and we figured out that without being nursed, he was drinking over 50 ounces in a day. Our doctor was hesitant at first, but told us to try it for a few weeks to see if giving him solids would help.....it did. Now my son is almost 17 months old, and can eat the same amount of food as his 5 1/2 year old sister (sometimes more. As long as your son is getting his liquids in, he will let you know when he is full.posted 12/02/2009 by a BabyCenter Member
I have a friend who is dealing with this problem. She has just limited the amount of solids her son eats. Maybe just take away a tablespoon or two from each meal.posted 09/20/2007 by saxgirl
I have been dealing with the same issues. But have tried to realize that he is more edficient of a nurser now and my pump doesnt pull out what he nurses. I feel if they are still napping and disposition is good breastfed babies know well what they need. Plus if they sleep well and long lengths at night they are fine.posted 12/21/2012 by EPrioux
Ihave the same PB but my baby is formula fed and special kind due to her many allergies, I thought maybe she s bored of her milk because it really is yucky poor thing I don t even know how she handles it and I was feeling so bad saying if only I could breastfeed her she d have yummy milk but now I read from those different posts I understand that babies go through phases and just want to experiment new things!

A Christmas special produced by Mississippians will air Christmas Day on WTOK, Channel 11.
'The Greatest Christmas Gift' is an animated movie about the birth of Jesus, starring entertainer Paul Ott.
Ott says the story is for children and adults alike, and he hopes everyone will watch.
"They bought the script and put the music together," said Ott. "We went to Nashville and put the theme song together, which is probably one of the best things about it; it's a beautiful, beautiful song called The Greatest Christmas Gift."
The show will air at 11:30 a.m. Christmas Day on WTOK-TV.

Castelli Leggera Women's Jacket $0.00
Sometimes the best jacket is also the least jacket. What makes a windbreaker great is when it combines ultra-lightweight construction so it can pack in a pocket with no fuss, a form-fitting cut to keep it from flapping, and a material that can repel water and yet remain breathable. And this, is precisely what makes the Castelli Leggera Women's Jacket such a find.
The Leggera Jacket is constructed from Castelli's Forcefield fabric, which weighs only 35 grams per square meter. Butterflies weigh more. It even comes with its own stuff sack, making it as easy to take with you as your cell phone and just as silly to forget.
The zipper is typically the Achilles heel of a lightweight jacket; a stiff, heavy zipper can make even the best jacket difficult to stuff in a pocket. Fortunately, the Leggera's zipper is both light and flexible. The jacket also features a mesh lined, high-cut collar to keep it from sticking uncomfortably to your neck in damp conditions.
The back of the Leggera Jacket is vented to make sure you get adequate moisture relief even when riding all-out. Perhaps even more important is how this well-designed vent allows air to enter without instantly turning you into the Michelin Man -- no style points for that look.
The Castelli Leggera Women's Jacket comes in Black and White and in five sizes from X-Small to X-Large. Two reflective tabs improve your visibility in low-light conditions.

Reviews & Community
Lightweight and compact
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
I prefer this windbreaker over others because it's bright (fluorescent orange) for increased visibility on the bike and it's compact. It fits into its own stuff sack, about the size of a softball. Only negative is that there are no pockets of any kind.
As far as fit is concerned, I bought the size small, and it fits great. I am 5'4" and weigh 116#.
Great Fit, I didn't like the white
- Familiarity: I returned this product before using it
- Fit: True to size
The fit was great! I ordered the small, I'm 5'6", 125. I have very narrow shoulders and pretty thin arms. The jacket fit well, without loose material, but I could still fit a sweater underneath if I wanted an extra layer. The weight of the jacket seemed great, not too heavy, but thick enough to stop the wind. However, I order the jacket in white because I really liked the look of it from the picture on line, but when it arrived the white was see through, it looked like a garbage bag. Had the white been more solid I would have kept it because it seemed like a great jacket, but I just didn't like the look of the white.
Yea, I found that to be pretty much the same (White garments) across the board...especially watch out for white jerseys!
Sizing is correct
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
Since I use reviews so much on purchases, I thought I'd do one here. Based on some of these reviews I ordered a size up and it ended up being too big. I reordered the small (I'm 5'5" 122 lbs) and it fits perfect. I even have muscular arms, can fit a hoodie under the jacket and it still works. Maybe they changed the cut or possibly other people like to layer more. However if you're a cyclist that like a nice cut fit (no extra material), order based on the chart.
And so far I like it. Using it for CX season with a few layers for warm up. It's very light, probably not great in more than a light sprinkle, but nice for wind. Even wore it on my scooter into work today. I have it in orange is it's awesomely bright!
Does what it says it will do
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Another well-designed product from Castelli, made with excellent materials. This is not -- NOT -- going to keep you dry in a deluge. But it will protect you from spray and light rain, and it will take the chill off when the temps drop, while still maintaining breathability. Dual-zipper is nice for venting. The articulated sleeves are very comfortable, and the drop-tail hem gives plenty of coverage in the back. For almost every product in the universe, I take XS on top, but the SMALL was a better fit for me in this. (I'm 5'7", 122#.)
Runs small
- Familiarity: I returned this product before using it
The jacket was everything I was looking for: very lightweight shell, packs to a small size, but I decided to return because the orange was very fluorescent, hunter's blaze orange, and it ran small as others have reported. If you are at all on the fence about size or have arms that are bigger than a pipe cleaner, size up.
I love this jacket.
The Leggera jacket is one of my most used clothes for my rides. If it's chilly, like 45--50ish, I put it on and ride until I, or the weather, warms up. Then, I just take it off, tuck it into my back pocket and off I go again. It is feather light and very packable. Lots of jackets say they are light/packable, but this one really is! For wind, it is excellent. There is a vent in the back which allows the wind to pass through the jacket and out, so you don't get a big puff marshmallow affect from trapped air. The material is breathable, but is also quite warm for its weight. It sheds water, so if you get caught under grey clouds, just snatch it from your back pocket (you did pack it before you left, didn't you?) and you are instantly warm and ready for the rain. The cut of the jacket is nice, especially the detail at the crook of the elbow where they gathered the material to make it comfy when you ride.
I tried a lot of wind/rain jackets before settling on this one. About 10 or so. I resisted the Leggera cuz I didn't want lime green or electric orange or lost-in-the-dark black. I wanted white. Which is perfect, since it comes in white...but I really don't like pink, and it has pink in it. I got over that little issue once I got the jacket on and out. It's great!! (And I am a very picky gal)
Ride safe out there!
Light load, easy to travel with
I bought this because of how easily you can carry this while cycling and need something just in case as Colorado weather can change quickly. I have not yet tried it during any formidable rain, but it does well with light rain. Nice fit.
If you really want wind/water proof, go to Gore ALP X 2.0 (or newer)...totally light weight; and has removable zip-off hood. Other colors are available directly from Gore (size-up).
I wore this while it was raining buckets. I was soaked and chattering by the end of the ride. Oh, well. At least it fits into its tiny stuff sack. It can be easily stowed and I'm sure I will keep using it as a stand by in my bike pack. I just need something beefier for the monsoon season afternoons.
All you really need is the Gore ALP X 2.0 rain/windjacket (or the newerversion if possible). It is VERY, VERY light weight, totally wind & rain proof (plus it has a removable zippered hood). You can go to Gorebikewear.com for more colors, etc. So you can still travel light and still be prepared, too. For cooler/cold days try adding their "Windstopper" base layers (I especially like their zip-mock Windstopper baselayer; also a short-sleeved version is available).
Does this jacket have a back pocket?

Leggera W Jacket_2010
Folds up into a tiny pink zippered pouch the size of a Cliff bar!
I looked at a lot of jackets before choosing this one. I love it!! I was looking for: extremely lightweight, fits easily in jersey pocket, wind and water resistant, and a female-friendly cut. This fits the bill perfectly, plus it's got great venting so you don't overheat in it. I wore it yesterday on slushy roads with a slight drizzle and it kept me warm and dry. When the sun came out, I stuffed it into the cute little included pink bag (it clips to the inside of the jacket) and my jersey pocket. I chose black to avoid the mud/grease problem I had with my last jacket and glad I did. I love the feminine detailing on this jacket too. Like all Castelli clothing, it's a snug fit in your normal size, which I prefer. If you want room for some layers underneath, I would size up. It's not a rain proof jacket, more of a thin layer of wind/water protection. Love it!!

fibroCITY was conceived and designed by the Houston office of Perkins+Will, who envision a pedestrian-oriented, community-driven environment that physically bridges over the city's existing highway system as a means of reconnecting urban communities. This design entry for the Living City Design Competition responds to the history of highway development in Houston. The selected site, located at highway 288 south of downtown, was divided socially and economically by the highway's development in the 1960s and 70s — conditions which still exist today.
