1932 Ford Truck - A Pickup With A PurposeWritten by on September 2, 2008 Contributors: Brian Brennan Ken Thurm's Deuce pickup
Back in the July '07 issue of STREET RODDER, we ran a sneak peek of Ken Thurm's Deuce pickup alongside his Dearborn Deuce convertible as the two were nearing completion. The majority of fabrication had been done, including the 4-inch chop and 6-inch channel, as well as all the chassis work. The Lil' John Buttera Hawk aluminum Chevy engine was also in place, with a Tremec 600 transmission behind it. Rolling stock was also covered in the form of 15- and 18-inch Halibrand kidney-bean wheels wrapped in Toyo and Mickey Thompson rubber. What hadn't been decided, however, was at what point would the truck be considered finished.
Inspired originally by Jimmy Shine's bare-metal pickup, Ken knew he wanted something that was more utilitarian than a show car-a simple hot rod with all the fat trimmed off. The chop was finished and the metalwork, handled by Jeff Sherman, was knocked straight before the cab and bed were sprayed with simple gray primer. A shortened Deuce grille shell also received the gray primer treatment, flanked by a pair of commercial Deuce headlights. While the chassis was left in bare metal, in homage to Jimmy's hauler, a number of the suspension components were either sprayed, polished, or chromed.
The gray primer treatment of the body and bed, while providing a simple, utilitarian foundation, also helps belie the real eye-catcher of Ken's Deuce pickup: the six-carbed, Lil' John Buttera Hawk aluminum Chevy engine. Left over from Lil' John's Indy days, the 412ci mill is the epitome of perfection when it comes to unusual hot rod powerplants. A Taylor Vertex electronic ignition mag continues the hot rod/race car vibe. Modified steel Chevy valve covers are fitted with early Oldsmobile spark plug wire separators, and custom headers expel the spent exhaust gases either straight out the uncorked headers or through a pair of stainless mufflers.
To handle the suspension chores, Ken opted for a traditional buggy-spring frontend with a 5-inch dropped Magnum axle hung on hairpin radius rods. SO-CAL Speed Shop hidden disc brakes bring everything to a stop while a Unisteer steering box handles the steering chores. Out back, a Halibrand Champ rearend hangs off a de-arched Model A spring with Goodyear airbags offering ride-height adjustability. Monroe Sensi-Trac shocks smooth out the bumps, while Buick finned drum brakes provide the stopping power.
Inside the confined pickup cab sits a modified Glide Engineering bench seat covered with a Mexican blanket, which sports the only piece of stitching found throughout the cab. A trio of Classic Instruments gauges sits in the stock Deuce dash, while a matching tach mounts off the custom steering column. A drilled Bell four-spoke steering wheel and matching custom shifter finish off the interior appointments.
With no plans to paint the truck anytime soon, Ken has been busy enjoying his newfound freedom so many street rod enthusiasts have experienced lately, thanks to the rise in popularity of homebuilt and traditionally styled hot rods. Bringing the hobby back to its roots enables many of us to enjoy the things that attracted us here in the first place, and working hard to build your hot rod and being able to enjoy the fruits of your labor without having to worry about DustBusting your door panels or applying Armor All to your tires is what it's all about.

We need to rethink the whole concept of pharmaceutical innovation, around four "Grand Challenges:"
» 1. Where will tomorrow's discovery research be done—academia, medical charities, SMEs, traditional pharma companies, or creative combinations of all four?» 2. How can we escape from today's burdensome development and regulatory paradigms?
» 3. How will future innovations be marketed, in an era of payer-driven value assessment?
» 4. Will pharma companies take full advantage of new technologies to both drive and track patient access, optimum use, and desired outcomes?
The answers to these questions will determine whether the industry enters a new, but very different, era of prosperity—or continues its current decline.
If you know where to look, there are optimistic signs of new life and new thinking in all four of these areas.

Love your work and appreciate it very much, but cant we leave these two young people being friends... Like plain simple friends, and not lovers or whatever? Thanks.ReplyDelete
thanks zika!ReplyDelete
umm - i wish i could, and yes they may just be friends, but one can speculate right? c'mon, it's all just the fun of being a tennis fan. join in!
Until I see them lounge in the grass Vaidisova/Stepanek-style in IW, I will cling on to hoping that they are just friends. Not a big Novak fan here. =/ReplyDelete

When are you going to stop calling her Maria "Shriek"apova ? It is kind of getting old. I mean, this name calling business are for kids. Also, if you want to be fair and balance, call you also call out Rafa, who makes high decibel too on the court.ReplyDelete
Just because she is rich and young and beautiful, it does not mean she needs to be singled out as the shrieker. In my opinion, all players should be allowed to grunt. Loudly too.

I personally think that "Djokova" should not exist...ReplyDelete
I mean Nole, u have a girlfriend, right? (or it's over?)

The Buzz
Need-to-know news
"The Buzz" Continued...
Iraqis' college try
At one time Iraq boasted of some of the best universities in the Arab world, and college students have been the unsung heroes of a 7-year war-dodging car bombs and threading checkpoints to make it to school. But in the worst attack yet on their class, at least 50 Iraqi Christian students were hospitalized with serious injuries and at least four killed following a bomb attack on May 2 outside Mosul. The attack forced nearly 1,000 students to drop classes for the rest of the semester.
In all 160 were injured in blasts targeting three buses of students traveling from Christian villages east of the city to the University of Mosul. The buses were making a daily route under Iraqi army escort, as many students and their families have fled to the villages to avoid violence in the city.
"This is the hardest attack, because they attacked not only one car, but the whole convoy and in an area that is heavily guarded by the army," said Syrian Catholic Bishop of Mosul Georges Casmoussa. Another clergyman, Bashar Warda, noted that the victims were not soldiers or activists but "only students carrying their books, pens, their dreams of growing and serving their country."
Mosul church leaders believe the power vacuum is not helping them: Baghdad's failure to form a new government, said Chaldean Archbishop Emil Shimoun Nona, is "fertile ground for violence."
The Lord remains
Trinity University board of trustees voted to retain the words "in the year of our Lord" as part of the date on university diplomas after some students petitioned to have the phrase removed. The San Antonio school's board voted that the phrase was appropriate given the history and heritage of the university, which is governed by an independent board but was founded by Presbyterians.
Expanded research
The National Institutes of Health is opening 13 new embryonic stem-cell lines to be eligible for federally funded research, expanding the number of eligible lines to 64. President Obama issued an executive order after he took office loosening restrictions on federal funding of embryonic stem-cell research, but the administration then issued additional guidelines, which meant that embryonic stem-cell lines already approved under President George W. Bush had to be reauthorized. Four of the 13 new lines had already received Bush administration approval.
Congressional pay
Lawmakers to constituents: We feel your pain. Congress voted in late April to block its automatic pay raises for next year. Lawmakers-who make a base salary of $174,000-said no to a $1,600 raise in 2011. Total taxpayer savings: roughly $850,000. This is the third year in a row that so-called cost-of-living adjustments have been rejected. In a move lawmakers cleverly set up years ago to avoid having to actually vote on giving themselves a raise, the law states that members of Congress automatically receive one each year unless they vote it down. But while the Senate passed its version unanimously, 15 House members actually voted against halting the raises.
Adoptions continue
Officials at the U.S. State Department gave good news to an estimated 3,000 American families waiting to adopt Russian orphans: Many adoptions are moving forward, despite reports to the contrary by some Russian officials. The news came two weeks after Russian authorities said they would halt all adoptions of Russian children to U.S. families. The reason: After a Tennessee woman sent her adopted son back to Moscow alone on a plane, Russian authorities said they would suspend adoptions until they signed a new adoption treaty with the United States. Those talks began on April 29, with Pavel Astakhov, Russia's ombudsman for children, telling the BBC that U.S. adoptions remain suspended. But the same day, the U.S. State Department issued a press release for adoptive families, saying, "There has been no official suspension" and the U.S. Embassy in Moscow is still issuing immigrant visas for adopted children: "Many adoption cases are continuing to move forward in the courts."
Nigeria's transition
Six months after Nigerian President Umaru Yar'Adua disappeared from public view for medical treatment of serious heart problems, a Nigerian television announcer interrupted programming on May 5 with a bulletin: "The president and commander-in-chief of the armed forces, Umaru Musa Yar'Adua, died a few hours ago at the presidential villa." The president was 58. Yar'Adua, a Muslim from the country's North, had performed no official duties in months. Those tasks fell to Vice President Goodluck Jonathan, a Christian from Nigeria's South. After Yar'Adua's death, officials swore in Jonathan as the country's next president. Jonathan faces the excruciating task of negotiating a volatile oil crisis and severe internal conflict: Muslim gangs attacked at least three Christian villages in March, slaughtering more than 300 people. The unassuming leader with a dogged work ethic had fervently urged Nigerians to pray for Yar'Adua's return to office. Now Jonathan will need fervent prayers himself.
Storm toll
The death toll rose to 31 in three states from a massive weekend storm system that devastated parts of the Southeast in May-21 people were killed in Tennessee and the same storm system killed six people in Mississippi and four in Kentucky, emergency management officials said.
Court watch
An April 28 U.S. Supreme Court decision will allow a white cross that has stood for more than 75 years on a stretch of the Mojave Desert to remain. In a 5-4 decision, justices overturned a federal judge's rejection of the cross, which honored the dead of World War I. But the ruling recalled internal divisions over the separation of church and state-just as President Barack Obama is set to select another justice.
In other cases, other places:
• The Virginia Supreme Court heard oral arguments in a dispute between The Episcopal Church (TEC) and nine Anglican congregations that split from TEC's state diocese April 13. The nine, now part of the Anglican District of Virginia, left TEC in 2006-2007 over doctrinal matters, and TEC sued for ownership of the properties. A decision is expected next month, but an automatic appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court is expected-with high stakes for hundreds of churches nationwide that similarly have left TEC.
• That same day in Iran two Christians released from prison in 2009 were in court facing charges of propagating Christianity and apostasy. Maryam Rustampoor and Marzieh Esmaeilabad have been in poor health since their release, but no verdict has been issued.
• Also delayed was a verdict in Turkey, where five defendants are charged with the brutal murders of three Christian workers in Malatya three years ago. The case has been repeatedly sidetracked-this time by new evidence alleging a plot among naval officers to target minorities, including the Malatya Christians, as a way to discredit the government.
Going, going
Florida's Republican Party commissioned an oil portrait of Gov. Charlie Crist several months ago. But now that Crist has proclaimed himself an Independent-following a too-close GOP primary in his race for the Senate-the state GOP is selling the portrait on eBay. "Canvas is naturally sensitive to changes of temperature and humidity, just as Charlie Crist's political convictions are subject to fluctuations in poll numbers," the product description read. Bidding surpassed $6,000 only a day after the portrait was listed.
Power of prayer
The Pentagon dropped evangelist and Samaritan's Purse head Franklin Graham from its May 6 National Day of Prayer service under pressure from the Military Religious Freedom Foundation over his comments about Islam. Nine years ago after 9/11 Graham called Islam a "very wicked and evil religion." Following the Pentagon's brush-off, he said, "I love Muslim people . . . I want Muslims everywhere to know . . . that Christ can come into their heart and change them." The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) applauded the Pentagon's decision and tried unsuccessfully to stop Graham's appearance at the congressional Day of Prayer service. The move didn't stop Graham from attending a meeting between his father, Billy Graham, and President Barack Obama at the elder Graham's home in North Carolina April 25. It was Obama's first meeting with the ailing 91-year-old evangelist, who has ministered to 12 presidents. Both men said that they prayed for one another.
High risks' high cost
Eighteen states have said "no thanks" to the federal provisions of the healthcare law-by formally declining to set up high-risk insurance pools. These programs are designed by the law to cover those with pre-existing conditions immediately before insurance companies are barred from rejecting such individuals in 2014. The law provides $5 billion to set up high-risk pools, but some governors have argued that's too little, as such programs can be prohibitively expensive: Virginia says it would use up its $113 million federal allotment in less than two years. One alternative is that the federal government will be forced to set up the stopgap program itself-something supporters of the legislation wanted from the start.
Last battle
For South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford, chapters of life keep closing: In March, Sanford agreed to pay $74,000 in fines to avoid a state hearing into whether he violated state travel policy in the wake of his adultery scandal with an Argentine woman. The same month, his marriage to Jenny Sanford, his wife of 20 years, ended in divorce. (In April, Jenny Sanford confirmed she had begun dating a Georgia businessman.) But the chapter that closed in May was likely welcome: South Carolina Attorney General Henry McMaster said Sanford won't face criminal charges stemming from ethics complaints.
Two days later, Sanford revived his famous fiscal conservatism by asking lawmakers to cut $324 million from the proposed state budget. It may be the last battle Sanford wages in his home state until another chapter closes: His term as governor ends this year.

Some Are Fuming Over Smoking Ban
February 10, 2013
MOUNDSVILLE — People shopping at the Moundsville Plaza Saturday either agreed with the expansion of the smoking ban or thought it was too stringent — while others said it should be expanded even......
When will beer and alcohol sales and consumption in public places be banned? In my opinion there is nothing worse than going out for dinner and witnessing grown human beings consuming alcohol. It is especially disturbing to sit and try to eat while watching some poor child's father consume a beer at the table where the children are eating. It is also disturbing to see children at the grocery store with mom or dad and seeing mom reach into the cooler and grab a case of beer and put it into the cart. All these children see the posters that relate everything to beer. Super Bowl, gotta have beer! Daytona 500, gotta have beer! Basketball? Gotta have beer! Wings? Gotta have beer! CHristmas? Gotta have beer! Getting together with friends? Gotta have beer! Drink Responsibly!!!!!! HAVE SOME BEER!!! but don't have a cigarette, it's baaaaaadddd fffooorrrrr youuuuuuu!!!!

Smoking directly outside a door to a store is understandable. Banning smoking in an open park, an open fair grounds, etc is extremism and crazy....
3 Agrees | 4 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
When I'm sitting at an open air event and someone sits down beside me and lights up a cigarette, and the smoke begins drifting in front of my face, stinging my eyes, burning my nostrils, contaminating my lungs with carcinogens, it's NOT extremism that I'm angry about that, and I should NOT be the one who has to move, repeatedly, to find fresh air.
If you choose to allow smoking in YOUR private business, that's YOUR private property, and it's my choice whether to patronize your business or work at your business. But if you smoke on PUBLIC property – in public parks, on city streets and sidewalks, at public facilities – YOUR addiction is not a good reason I should have to put up with YOUR poisons.

While the un-elected Health Board officials are at it, they need to ban smoke-less tobacco also, nothing worse than being at an outdoor event, and have the guy sitting next to you spit all over the ground and your feet. How about when walking through a street fair getting all the spit on your shoes and tracking into your car, house, etc. just plain gross

I understand the need not to smoke around places that have children that is only fair and I have no problem with that. I don't even like whisky or beer around kids and think that should stop. I would like to see a group provide a place were we could go smoke away from the crown. Like a smoking station. The idea that it is ok one day and the nest day we could go to jail is incomprehensible. I am a law abiding person have only had two tickets in my life time. Now I feel like I am being treated less then human. I don't like feeling this way. Prohibition did not work before why would it work now? Smoking is not illegal. You people have created a worm hole were you sneak in the back door and once in you take over the house. Your like the unwanted mother-in-law. Always telling her child how to live.

Florida ban smoking in all public places including bars many years ago. It was a good move, the bars still thrive!
1 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
I smoked for 55 years. I quit 2 years ago. Having been a smoker for all those years, you would think being around a smoker would bother me. Not at all, I don't care where he or she smokes as long as it's not in my house. I think banning smoking smoking in all these public places is just government gone wild with their authority. I will admit that since I quit smoking, I can tell when I'm around smoke or a smoker because I can smell it now whereas I couldn't before. Still, that doesn't convey to me or the authorities the right to tell someone they cannot smoke in a public place. As for the second hand smoke hazard, I have never accepted this as a valid threat to my or anyone else's health. Leave the smokers alone. They're not hurting you. How many of these anti-smoking bigots go out on a Friday or Saturday night and drink themselves into a stupor and then go out on the highway? Now there is a very real threat to my and your welfare.

the best reviews
their picks
what to buy
Unless you've been hiding under a sound-proof beach umbrella for the past decade or so, you probably know that experts say tanning is a bad idea, whether it's a "real" suntan, or one you get in a tanning booth. On the medical side, sun exposure can contribute to several kinds of skin cancer. On the beauty side, it can cause wrinkles.
It's hard advice to swallow because almost everyone looks better with a nice tan.
The good news is that self-tanners can help you maintain a beautiful, healthy glow all year without the potentially unhealthy exposure to harmful UV rays. Self-tanners are available as lotions, gels, foams, sprays and towelettes. Regardless of the formula or application-style, all work in essentially the same way: by staining the outermost surface of the skin with dihydroxyacetone (DHA) and erythrulose, both of which are safe for use on the skin.
Some tanners work gradually, with a very low concentration of DHA (this also means they typically have less of that telltale self-tanner scent) and are applied daily to build up a tan slowly. Results from gradual tanners aren't as immediate, but because they're applied over several sessions, it's harder to noticeably mess them up. In addition, many people prefer to subtly increase their skin tone, so it's not such a startling change in appearance.
Instant tanners, on the other hand, are the way to go if you want to create a tanned appearance quickly. In reality, all sunless tanners -- even so-called instant tanners -- take a minimum of a few hours to fully develop, but some types speed up the process by including a tint or bronzer. The tint will wash off as soon as you shower, but in the meantime, it acts as a guide for application and offers instant gratification – and color.
Lotions, gels and oils are considered the easiest to apply, making them a particularly good option for first timers. Because they dry slowly, you have a little extra leeway in wiping or washing off any misplaced product. The downside of that slow drying time is that you can't put clothing on for 10 to 30 minutes while the product soaks in. Lotions and gels are usually best for normal to dry skin, but that will depend on the specific formula.
Mousses and foams are applied much like a lotion, but dry very quickly, making them less time-consuming, but also less foolproof and more challenging for a new user to apply.
Sprays can be self-applied or done professionally in a tanning salon. They take a bit longer to dry than a mousse, but promise full-body, even color with a quick application. Many experts say this type of application has the steepest learning curve, and several note that, for best results, having a friend spray it on is helpful.
Tanning wipes, which are towelettes doused in tanning solution, are best for spot treatments (like sprucing up tan lines) but not full-body applications because of their tendency to cause streaking. They are popular for travel, though, thanks to their portability.
We cannot discuss sunless tanners without mentioning the smell. All sunless-tanning products have a distinct odor associated with them, caused by DHA. DHA is a derivative of sugar that reacts with dead skin cells, permanently coloring the cells right at the surface of the skin.
DHA has its own unique scent, but the odor of a given product will vary depending upon the amount of DHA it contains, as well as other ingredients that are part of its formula. One of the biggest contradictions we saw when researching self-tanning products was when it came to rating the smell. The same product that some don't notice a particularly strong odor in, or that they describe as "pleasant," might send other users straight to the shower to wash off the "offensive stench."
Odor issues aside, DHA is perfectly safe for skin, but that doesn't mean sunless tanners are completely free of ingredient list scrutiny. Like most cosmetics, there's increasing consumer interest in "natural" products that either avoid potentially harmful ingredients like parabens or fragrances, or add ingredients like shea butter and plant oils to moisturize and condition skin.
If you prefer something even more gradual, skin-friendly and temporary than a self-tanner, see our separate report on facial moisturizers where we recommend a few good tinted moisturizers. And don't forget -- self-tanners do not have sunscreen so you still need to protect your skin from the sun's damaging rays. For that, head on over to our report on sunscreens for some top recommendations.
There are a lot of excellent, expert sources for beauty products, and self-tanners are no exception. We found Paula'sChoice.com to be particularly valuable in our research. Site owner and beauty products expert Paula Begoun and her staff review virtually every beauty product on the market, in the BeautyPedia section. Hands on testing is not done, but reviews are updated frequently and the ingredients and the manufacturers claims are scrutinized and evaluated based upon the consensus of experts in the beauty field and scientific community. We also consulted the beauty product awards and roundups from sources such as Allure.com and TotalBeauty.com, because they study beauty and they know what works for their customers and readers. Even WebMD had an in-depth reviews of self-tanners that included recommendations.
Beauty product retail sites like Ulta.com, MakeupAlley.com and Sephora.com are invaluable in gauging real-world results from these self-tanners. Users posting on those sites tend to be very knowledgeable about beauty products, including specific ingredients and how they work, and their input is often sharp and focused.
We used all of these review sources to get an idea of how well each self-tanner performed (essentially, whether it provided natural-looking results and worked gradually or instantly, as promised), how easy or difficult it was to apply, how it feels on skin -- and how it smells, of course. One of these top products is sure to get your glow on.
Experts say that if you've never tried a self-tanning product before, tanning lotions, gels, oils, foams or towelettes are a good place to start. They tend to be very easy to apply, most have moisturizing properties, and they're more affordable than some other types of self-tanners.
Jergens Natural Glow Daily Moisturizer (Est. $12 per 10 oz.) is the one product we saw that makes it on virtually every "Best of" roundup and gets high marks from both users and independent expert reviewers. It truly does impart a very natural-looking tint that appears gradually and subtly. Most buy it for exactly that reason -- they don't want a sudden change in their appearance -- or because they just want an ongoing tint of color to brighten their skin.
While you may want to supplement this Jergens product with a facial moisturizer if you use it on your face, experts say it's a good choice as an all-over body moisturizer -- unlike many other types of self-tanners. It also blends well, with a minimum of streaking or uneven color spots. This particular formulation is in a new, pump-style packaging, and users say that makes it even easier to apply as they can do so with one hand. Jergens Natural Glow comes in two shades, fair to medium and medium to tan, and in several formulations, including quick-tan options, tan extenders, firming, and even one with an SPF of 20.
If you want your tan and you want it now, Clarins Self Tanning Instant Gel (Est. $37 per 4.5 oz.) gets raves for its performance, providing a quick, dark tan that users say goes on smoothly and evenly. Gels take longer to dry than lotions, but you can still expect to be able to dress in about 30 minutes or so without getting color on your clothes. Both the Jergens natural glow and the Clarins Self Tanning gel get mixed reviews for odor -- some say it's pleasant or unnoticeable, others say it's quite obvious and unpleasant.
St. Tropez makes a full line of self-tanners, and St. Tropez Self Tan Bronzing Mousse (Est. $40 for 8 oz.) is a consistent hit with experts and users. It was our former "Best Reviewed" sunless tanner, but improvements in other formulas dropped it down the list a bit for us -- especially since it contains ingredients that can irritate sensitive skin and may be drying. Still, if that's not a problem for you, reviewers say this bronzing mousse creates a subtle, natural-looking glow that is easy to apply. Mousse formulations are said to dry more quickly than other types, and St. Tropez claims that this formula dries in about 60 seconds. Users say that might be a bit of an exaggeration, but it does dry pretty fast.
Another popular choice from St. Tropez is their Everyday Body Gradual Tan (Est. $30 for 6.7 oz.). Reviewers rave about its subtle, natural glow and say that it is extremely forgiving of uneven application thanks to its gradual build-up. It includes a mitt that some reviewers love, and others say gets in the way of a smooth application. This mousse also comes in two shades, light/medium and medium/dark.
We didn't see any expert reviews for Fake Bake Flawless (Est. $10 for 6 oz.), but it gets a lot of love from thousands of user reviewers who say it's a great self-tanner with a very true, natural color that never strikes a sour note. They also say that, compared to other self-tanners, it's a great value for the price. It give you immediate color and most say it lasts for several days, although others say it wears off quickly and you have to reapply it frequently.
One of the handiest ways to apply self tanner is to use a pre-moistened wipe, and Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare Alpha Beta Glow Pad for Body (Est. $30 for 8 wipes) is one that's recommended by several expert reviewers. The best news about this towelette is that it's fragrance-free and contains antioxidants, as the best skin care products do. It has a silky, pleasant texture, say reviewers and is much easier to use than traditional self-tanners. On the downside, it's pricier than larger, bottled formulations.
If you want an inexpensive towelette option, Thermalabs Self Tan Towelettes (Est. $15 for 20) are an alternative that's super-popular with consumers. While they don't garner any expert reviews, we spotted user reviews that say they give you a lovely, "sun-kissed" glow that looks real, not fake. They are also reported as generally easy to use, although some reviewers say they're so thin you have to be careful that they don't roll or tear. Still, at the price, they're definitely worth trying.

My Room: Tutu's Playroom
San Clemente, CA
Some grandmothers express their love with kooky knit sweaters while others, like Tutu, pour their energies into delightful spaces like this one. Alexis shares: My mother (aka "Tutu") created this dreamy budget friendly playroom for my 2-year-old daughter Adella, and all future grandkids.
She used bright colors and whimsical accessories that inspire creativity through imaginative play. Most pieces were purchased at Ikea, Homegoods, and Target. Our favorite place in this room is the dress up corner, filled with lovely little frocks, tiara's and jewels that would make you drool!
Thanks Alexis (and Tutu!)! Readers, you can catch up with Alexis on her blog Adella & Company.

Video: New DeKalb school board members announced
Video: Full Gov. Deal press conference on new DeKalb school board
ATLANTA -- Gov. Nathan Deal announced Wednesday six names to replace six ousted DeKalb County School Board members.
The new board members -- John Coleman, Michael Erwin, David Campbell, Joyce Morley, Karen Carter and Thaddeus Mayfield -- were sworn in during a ceremony at the DeKalb County Schools administrative headquarters at 1 p.m.
MORE | Continuing coverage of DeKalb school issues
Deal says a selection panel interviewed about 60 applicants from a field of more than 400. Deal said he's encouraged by the candidates' qualifications and their credentials are a testament to the residents of DeKalb County.
DeKalb County is the state's third-largest school district, serving about 99,000 students. It was placed on probation in December by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools following a six-month investigation.
In a report, the accreditation agency cited long-term leadership issues including nepotism, fiscal mismanagement, inappropriate micromanagement and intimidation within the district.

Dear Editor:
We come up to Kingston at least four times a year. (That's about 600 miles driving a year). We come to ride the Catskill Mountain Railroad. We eat at local diners. Sometimes we stay in local hotels. We love the railroad. We won't come up there for a hiking trail.
What is City Hall scared of? These volunteers have done a lot of work, without pay, without resources handed to them. The trail would be easy to build, since most of the work has already been done by unpaid labor.
Maybe that's the problem. This unpaid dedication has given results that high-paid politicians cannot. The volunteers have done things faster and better than overpaid labor and government red tape.
Maybe the problem is this: The railroad is the over-achiever little squirt in the class and the big jock bullies don't like that since it makes the rest of the class look bad. The railroad is the convenient whipping boy. As long as this battle takes people's minds off the homelessness and blight in Kingston, that is all that matters.
The mayor should use his dump truck to clean up Kingston, not to bully a bunch of volunteers. All it will take is for one person to get injured or mugged as they walk along the precious hiking trail. Unfortunately, some people will only learn the hard way. Usually that comes at the expense of others.
Fair Lawn, N.J.

JOCKEY JAVIER MATIAS, CHAMPAGNEANDCAVIAR, WINNER: "I didn't think I would get the lead because I knew Juan (Gutierrez) wanted to send his horse. I had a tight hold on my horse the whole way. I wanted to keep the front of her body in between (Exclusive Diva) and the rail so that I'd have room in the stretch. I looked back at the quarter-pole and saw (Our Eleanor) was the only one closing. I was pretty confident we were going to win. She's got a big heart."
JOCKEY JUAN GUTIERREZ, EXCLUSIVE DIVA, SECOND: "My horse felt pretty good. She was going easy on the lead. She felt stronger in this race than she did in the last one. I thought after we pulled away from Our Eleanor that we were going to win, but Champagneandcaviar is just really competitive."
NOTES: Champagneandcaviar (11-3-2-2-$87,865)…Javier Matias is tied with Juan Gutierrez for No. 1 with five stakes wins at the meet, and is No. 9 all-time with 17 EmD stakes wins…Howard Belvoir has two stakes wins this meet and is tied with Frank Lucarelli for No. 5 all-time with 29 stakes wins…Fleur De Lis Stables is No. 1 with four stakes wins in 2012: two each by Winning Machine and Champagneandcaviar. Winning Machine and Champagneandcaviar are both Kentucky-breds out of the broodmare Dance With Carson…Winning Machine starts in the $200,000 Longacres Mile (G3), Sunday, August 19…Exclusive Diva has two wins and two seconds in the Washington Oaks Series; Champagneandcaviar has two wins, one third, and didn't run in the Seattle Handicap. However, Champagneandcaviar captured the meet's championship race, which could sway voters in balloting for Top 3-Year-Old Filly.

Summary:The summer of 1958 forever changed the Brooklyn landscape. Aside from the sweltering summer heat and the loss of their beloved Dodgers, Brooklyn was in a state of unrest. It was a time when rumbles escalated into gunfights and honor was quickly becoming a thing of the past. A new breed of wiseguys threatened to take control of Brooklyn's rough streets, but only one gang wouldn't back down: the Deuces. Soon, however, the Deuces began to realize that loyalty and midnight rumbles could no longer protect them from the turbulent times ahead.

Glad to see this post! I'm stickying it.
I'd like to see an easier way to pan...perhaps having a cached "render" of the map that is overlayed whenever you go into pan mode so that when you pan you can see the maps details without having to deal with the ghost pan effect...that may just be me though.
From photoshop, I think a more useful layers dialog/tab would be VERY helpful. In photoshop you can see a little thumbnail of what is on a layer, and very easily turn it on/off and thats integrated into the core of the interface as a primary function. To see that available in CC3 for both layers and sheets would be VERY nice.

The option I've thought of is just super gluing the fans onto the lid. Any reason this would be a bad idea?
Here's a picture of what I'm looking at:
On one side is what the fan will look like, and on the other side, I just traced an outline of the fan and what I plan on doing to the lid (basically just drilling some holes in the lid in a circular manner for some intake vents.
The only other option I can think is getting some bolts and nuts that will match the size and securing the fan that way.

Free Breast Cancer Screening on February 16
Mammograms are recommended yearly for women over the age of 40. But for women without insurance, paying for a regular mammogram can be a challenge.
That's why Catholic Health and Erie County Cancer Services have teamed up to offer a free breast cancer screening, taking place from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, February 16 at the M. Steven Piver, M.D. Center for Women's Health & Wellness (Seton Professional Building on the Sisters Hospital campus, 2121 Main Street, Suite 100, Buffalo, NY 14214).
The screening is open to women without insurance over the age of 40.
Cancer Services Program will cover any follow-up testing and treatment if needed.
Appointments are limited, so those interested should call for an appointment right away. Appointments can be made by calling HealthConnection at (716) 706-2112.
If you need to be convinced, consider the story of Buffalo resident Ann Dyson. She attended a previous Catholic Health screening, when a mammogram detected a cancerous lump.
"Without this program, I know that I would be walking around with undetected cancer, with no possibility of hope," she said. "I will be forever grateful to those who found my cancer."

Chicago, IL (Sports Network) - Gary Talton scored 19 points, one of Illinois-
Chicago players in double-figures, as the Flames defeated the Youngstown State
Penguins 65-60 in Horizon League action at the UIC Pavilion.
Talton also dished out a game-high six assists for the Flames (10-4, 1-0
Horizon), who happily saw their three-game losing steak end. Hayden Humes (15
points, seven rebounds), Josh Crittle (14 points, seven rebounds, four
assists, two blocks), and Daniel Barnes (10 points, seven rebounds) were the
three other UIC players in double-figures.
Kendrick Perry was 7-of-12 from the field for 19 points with nine rebounds,
while also leading three teammates in double-figures for the Penguins (8-6,
0-1), whose two-game winning streak came to a close. Blake Allen recorded a
double-double with 12 points and 10 rebounds while Kamren Belin scored 11
points and DJ Cole added 10.
The game was even at 29-29 going into halftime after both teams shot under
40.0 percent from the field in the first period.
The second half was a back-and-forth battle that saw the Flames outscore YSU
36-31. After Allen hit a 3-pointer with 1:31 remaining to put the Penguins
on top, 60-50, the Flames closed out the game on a 15-0 run. Talton hit a 3-
pointer with 17 seconds left to give the Flames back the lead and then made
three more shots from the free-throw line for UIC to take the 65-60 conference
The Flames managed a 42-33 rebounding edge and flipped 14 YSU turnovers into
19 points.

The NIDDK Bowel Control Awareness Campaign
If you, someone you know, or someone you treat has a bowel control problem, it can be hard to discuss. But talking about the problem is the first step toward management. So, let's talk about bowel control.
- common
- manageable
- often treatable
- not always a part of aging
On this website, you'll find information to help you start the conversation. Also included are steps people can take on their own that may help improve bowel control.
"Our findings indicate that fecal incontinence is a significant public health burden in the U.S.—affecting close to 10 percent of the adult population over 40 years old. The Bowel Control Awareness Campaign's main objective is raising public awareness of fecal incontinence to aid in prevention of incontinence and to improve the lives of men and women living with the condition."

Its looking very christmaslike so the one day delay may be forgiven
I like the overall cold tone of the map - it is very atmospheric and fitting for december.
really lovely winter map!
I love the colors and the way you drew the mountains. it looks like they're big brush strokes, and it would be awsome if this style would be more present overall in the map. Maybe draw the trees also just with one or two brush stroke.
the wrintings in the water are sadly unreadable to me, i would love to know what's standing there!
The rivers seem to be odd, espescially around Azent Lake, they look like they flowing upwards into the mountains!
Cheers leen
Leen: The writings in the water are meant to be unreadable as they are just decoration, they do say things however. Props to those that can decipher them. As for the rivers, I don't see the problem but others apparently do. I tried to make it look like the water was coming out of the mountain, running down the side and forming the lake below it. Either way, maybe the water is flowing up the mountain from a magical force...it is a fantasy map. lol

WASHINGTON (AP) - Defense officials say the Pentagon will sharply cut the number of unpaid furlough days civilians will have to take in the next several months from 22 to 14, reducing the financial impact of the budget cuts on as many as 700,000 workers.
The announcement is welcome news to the 4.500 civilian employees at Scott Air Force Base.
Officials say Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel made the decision Wednesday. Military and defense leaders continue to work through the details, trying to decide how to allocate the more than $10 billion Congress shifted to operations accounts. Officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the matter publicly.
Initially, civilians would have had to take one day off each week for 22 weeks.


text: I have greatly enjoyed your two previous tiles and found them very useful (I unabashedly say that I "steal" stuff from here all the time, but only for personal use, and I never claim to have created it myself). I look forward to seeing the city fill out. If I may be so bold, a tavern is something that every town needs (and which you seem to have overlooked). Other ideas may include a "punishment" square (perhaps with stocks and a gibbet) and/or a shrine or temple.

King of ClubsWritten by on January 14, 2014 The Lifters San Diego Summer Shindig
Held at Barona Dragstrip on the Barona Reservation just east of San Diego, this was the ninth year that The Lifters Car Club has hosted the King of Clubs event. To say it just gets better each year would be cliché, if it weren't so true! The track's in a great location, the drive there and back is cool (depending on your route, it takes in much of the same scenery we enjoyed on the Hot Rod Roundabout Reliability Run a few months ago), the atmosphere is friendly, and camping is permitted. We've hauled our trusty canvas accommodation to this event in the past and have been in the minority, but this year all the good spots were gone by Friday night!
While there's action on the track on Friday, the event itself doesn't start until Saturday, but then it's non-stop until way after dark, with the chance to put your car up the strip, actual organized classes later in the afternoon for club to race against club (hence the King of Clubs moniker), vendors, oddball trophies, bands, and burlesque girls. Those last two are outside under the stars alongside the track, by the way. The Lifters put on a great event that's as good as it sounds, and it should be. So get to the 10th in 2014 if you can!

Believe it or not, this 1961 Galaxie has never seen the street. Campaigned by David Franklin in Southern California now, it was originally raced in Texas by his parents, under the same "Old Yeller" name. A low 10-second quarter-miler, it ran 6.32/106 at Barona.Despite the slicks, a bolt-in rollbar, and race seat, this was Perry's second time racing his A roadster. Such items aren't mandatory to get out on the 'strip at this event, but advisable.Getting out and having fun on the dragstrip is one of the main attractions of the King of Clubs event, and we're always surprised more people don't take advantage of it.Marky Idzardi's "Purple People Eater" doesn't get seen much these days, but it always makes a pass or two at King of Clubs, proving it's not a static showpiece. The 7.14/88 on this pass wasn't enough to beat the injected SBC slingshot in the other lane.The idea behind the event's name "King of Clubs" is to put car clubs against each other on the track. This A roadster pickup is representing The Emperors Car Club.Johnny Guilmet's A roadster pickup has been around for several years, and seeing as it's parked alongside, we're assuming the 1932 still belongs to his brother.Powered by a 331 Caddy, Joe Clary's chopped-and-channeled 1934 uses a drilled stock axle, located forward of a reverse-eye spring mounted through the wishbones.
The King of Clubs Street Class came down to an all Cat Killer final, Rich Benson's 1931 pickup taking the win over Mat Mauldin's A."Kiwi" Kev brought his "Nasty Habit" 1941 Willys down from Ventura. Though named prior to ever lifting the front wheels, it does have a nasty habit of bending front axles!Dale Snoke's version of a B/FX Mercury Comet lets him have fun without risking damage to a rare race car, building this from a Comet Caliente, and moving the front axle forward 6 inches, and 4 1/2 inches in the rear. There's an aluminum headed 289 underhood that pushes power through a C4 to set 12-second quarter-mile times at full-length tracks. This run on Barona's eighth-mile netted a 7.26/91.

Risking deadly diseases
Science | To vaccinate or not to vaccinate is a needling question for many parents
Katie and Craig Van Tornhout of South Bend, Ind., suffered four miscarriages before Katie became pregnant with Callie Grace, born Christmas Eve 2009. Callie was six weeks premature, but after a week and a half at the hospital, she came home and gained a pound a week. "She just thrived," said Katie, 31. "She giggled. She was just the happiest baby."
One month later on a Sunday, Callie let out a single, light cough. It didn't seem serious, but as a conscientious, first-time mom, Katie visited a doctor the next day, who assured her the baby's lungs were clear. But midweek, Callie briefly stopped breathing. Doctors in the pediatrics intensive care unit at a local hospital ran tests on the baby, trying to identify her disease, but on Friday night Callie quit responding. Despite 45 minutes of CPR by hospital staff, she couldn't be revived.
"When the doctor comes to you with tears in his eyes, you know that it's bad," said Katie. Test results later showed Callie had pertussis, a bacterial infection of the respiratory system that is highly contagious and widely known as whooping cough.
Last year the Van Tornhouts' tragedy wasn't quite as rare as usual. Outbreaks of whooping cough-named for the gasping sound sometimes produced by coughing fits-occurred in Ohio and Michigan, and in California the rate of infection spiked to its highest since 1958. The disease claims about 20 U.S. lives each year, mainly newborns, but last year 10 infants died in California alone. Since a pertussis vaccine is routinely given to children 2 months and older, many observers hastened to blame the outbreaks on a subset of parents who refuse to vaccinate. Most doctors strongly recommend vaccines, but some understand parents' apprehension and say blaming them is misguided.
In response to the outbreak, California passed a law requiring all seventh- to 12th-grade students to have their pertussis immunization up-to-date for the coming school year-or fill out an exemption form. All 50 states mandate immunization for new school children, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures, but most allow parents to sign an exemption if they object to vaccination on grounds that are religious or "philosophical"-meaning at odds with most of the medical community. The percentage of children using these exemptions more than doubled from 1991 to 2004.
In California, the parents of about 1 in 50 kindergartners sign exemption forms for one or more vaccines. But in some communities the sentiment is stronger: In 2009, 175 schools in the state had exemption rates of 20 percent or more, and a few surpassed 70 percent.
The exemption trend worries immunologists, who say that for diseases like pertussis an inoculation rate of about 93 percent is needed to achieve "herd immunity," where transmission is slowed enough to prevent an outbreak.
While nine out of 10 parents follow their doctors' vaccination advice, about half are concerned that some vaccines aren't safe, according to a 2009 survey. Do these parents have reason to worry?
Maybe. Like many drugs, some vaccines don't work well in everybody and come with serious, if rare, side effects. The whooping cough vaccine currently used in the United States on infants and children under 7 is a combination of diphtheria, tetanus, and acellular pertussis vaccines, abbreviated as DTaP. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the side effects of DTaP include seizures in 1 in 14,000 children, three or more hours of non-stop crying in 1 in 1,000 children, and serious long-term injury in about 1 in 1,000,000 doses. The National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program, funded by a nationwide vaccine tax and housed at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, has awarded $2 billion to over 2,500 families for non-autism vaccine injuries since 1989. The injuries range from allergic reactions to neurological damage to unexpected infant death. (Most claims are dismissed, however, and whether the vaccines are at fault is often in dispute.)
"For many years the medical community denied that severe vaccine reactions were even possible," said Bob Sears, a pediatrician in Capistrano Beach, Calif. and author of The Vaccine Book: Making the Right Decision for Your Child. "No parent wants their child to be a disease statistic, but they also don't want their child to be a vaccine reaction statistic, either."
Sears said the medical establishment today is more forthcoming about the reaction risks, though he'd like to see more independent research on vaccine safety. However, he recommends vaccines to parents because he believes the benefits outweigh the risks.
So does Gainesville, Fla., pediatrician Tom Benton, a longtime member of the Christian Medical & Dental Associations (CMDA), which officially endorses vaccination. During Benton's residency program at a Houston children's hospital in the 1980s, he saw children suffering the effects of meningitis (induced by the Hib bacterium) on a weekly basis: "Their mental health would be damaged. Their hearing would be damaged. And some of them didn't make it."
Since the 1987 introduction of the Hib vaccine, such infections have virtually disappeared. Benton acknowledges that there are risks to taking vaccines-but he doesn't think they warrant forgoing shots altogether: "I accept that not every parent agrees with that. But it doesn't sway me."
(Benton also noted some Christians object to certain vaccines that were originally developed using tissue from aborted fetuses. CMDA lists them on its website, cmda.org.)
It's true that some diseases are rare in the United States today, but they're often kept at bay by the largely immunized population. Remaining unvaccinated increases risk for all: A 2009 Pediatrics study found that the children of parents who decline vaccinations were 23 times more likely to catch pertussis. Outbreaks sometimes target groups of unvaccinated people as well, as in 2005 when an Indiana teenager returned from a Romanian mission trip carrying measles and passed the virus to three dozen church members. Most were young, homeschooled, and hadn't been vaccinated for the disease.
Although no deaths occurred, outbreaks prompt some disease experts to push for government intervention. A 2007 article in the Journal of Law, Medicine & Ethics argued state governments should enforce vaccination among homeschoolers just as they do public- and private-school students. North Carolina has already taken that approach, requiring parents to keep immunization records for their children at home. West Virginia and Mississippi don't allow public- or private-school kids to opt out of vaccines unless they have a medical reason to do so.
"I would be against vaccine mandates even if occasionally it did result in an outbreak," said Jane Orient, an internist and executive director of the 5,000-member Association of American Physicians and Surgeons based in Tucson, Ariz. "It's a basic freedom issue." Orient views parental resistance to vaccines as positive because it helps guard against "sloppy testing" for safety.
In spite of the whooping cough outbreak in California, Sears takes parents' concern in stride. He guessed roughly one-fifth of his patients choose not to vaccinate, and another 10 percent use a delayed schedule, spacing the shots out over a child's first years. "Most doctors actually kick such patients out of their office. I don't think that's a very open-minded policy."
The real blame for whooping cough outbreaks, Sears said, lies less with apprehensive parents and more with the fallibility of the DTaP vaccine, which provides actual immunity in about 85 percent of cases. In addition, whooping cough regularly increases and decreases in the United States about once every five years. The last peak was in 2005, so the 2010 outbreaks are "actually no surprise," said Sears. (Some also speculate that new strains of pertussis are resisting the vaccine.) Still, the vast majority of whooping cough cases he has seen, said Sears, have been among unvaccinated patients.
Whooping cough is generally only dangerous for infants, but newborns like Callie Grace are too young to receive a pertussis vaccine themselves. To provide a cocoon of protection around a baby, doctors recommend family members get vaccinated. The whooping cough shot for teens and adults, called "Tdap," isn't foolproof-and its effectiveness wears off over time-but it reduces the chance of transmission.
Katie Van Tornhout said she and her husband weren't aware of the adult pertussis vaccine when Callie was born. Today, they aren't taking any chances: With another baby in the house (Chesney Rose, born in December), they've put a "do not enter" sign on the front door for anyone who hasn't had a Tdap booster: "People think we're crazy, but if it's going to protect somebody's life, then I'm all about it."
Lost linkage
Mystery over the apparent increase in children with autism over the last several decades has led many to speculate that the developmental disability can be triggered by vaccination. Although controlled studies looking for a link between vaccines and autism have failed to find one, a survey last year showed 1 in 4 parents still suspects a connection.
The vaccine-autism hypothesis faced two major setbacks in 2010: In February, the British journal The Lancet retracted an influential 1998 paper linking autism and childhood vaccinations and said the lead author, Dr. Andrew Wakefield, had falsified his data. In May British medical authorities barred Wakefield from practicing medicine in the UK. Wakefield responded saying his work had been "grossly distorted."
In September a U.S. federal court ruled against some 5,000 families in what was known as the "Omnibus Autism Proceeding," a case that began in 2001. The court found no relationship between autism and immunization based on the evidence presented.

Thrills under the Big Top
(Page 2 of 4)
Audiences will notice a fresh vibe from beginning to end, which all starts with the youthful producing team of the Feld sisters. "As producers of Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey, we love to challenge our creative teams and this year Rye Mullis is leading the Built To Amaze team as the youngest director in Ringling Bros. history," said Alana Feld. "Rye is bringing to life an unforgettable experience bursting with amazing performers, brightly colored construction equipment with oversized power tools, fantastic costumes, cool music, great choreography and brilliant lighting."
The fast-paced show builds on its
construction theme to involve audiences from start to finish. "Our producers are young, our director is young and we have a new young cast ranging from 20-29 years old," McClain said. "We also have more dancing than ever before – even the elephants dance."
McClain, an accomplished animal trainer, cowboy and rodeo star who is in his 11th year with Ringling Bros., is familiar to many circus fans as the longtime host of the popular pre-show. "I love people and love making kids happy, which is what I did during the preshow in an up close and personal way and what I bring to my role as ringmaster now.," he said,
And as, McClain pointed out, he is the circus' first "equestrian' ringmaster. With McClain and his horse leading the way, this year's circus involves more animals than ever before – 95 in all. They are featured in never before-seen routines showcasing their many unique talents – and those of their trainers.
The many riveting new acts include the award-winning duo of Alex and Irina Emelin of Russia. The pair has spent years constructing unique acts full of comedy, animals (including ferrets), magic and dynamic athleticism earning the married couple nine international comedy awards. Their eclectic animal menagerie includes 16 black and white poodles that are balls of energy and involved in hilarious non-stop mischief, according to McClain.

This question asks about what the child was fed in the preceding 24 hours. The purpose of this question is to determine what liquids or foods the child was given. Prompt by asking each listed item in turn, such as: "DID (name) RECEIVE VITAMIN OR MINERAL SUPPLEMENTS OR MEDICINE?" or "DID HE/SHE RECEIVE PLAIN WATER?" and so on through the list. Read each item aloud and record the response before proceeding to the next item. Use the local terms for these liquids or foods. Make sure that the respondent understands the question, particularly what is meant by 'since this time yesterday'. Specify to the mother/primary caretaker: mid-morning, mid-afternoon, etc., depending on the time of the interview. Circle the code corresponding to the response. If the mother/primary caretaker does not know the answer, repeat the question using other local words for the fluid or food. If the answer is still not known, circle '8' for 'DK'
