1928 Ford Roadster Pickup - Tradition Is TimelessWritten by on December 1, 2011
Timeless is a bold term in hot rodding. Because trends come and go you want to be sure of yourself before calling any hot rod "timeless." The 1928 Ford roadster pickup seen here will likely never grow old in the eyes of any hot rodder—it simply has "the look." While the amazing craftsmanship of high-end builds provides plenty of "wow" moments, this pickup has the same effect without trying so hard. It's a simple hot rod with lots of traditional flavor, proving that a '60s hot rod will never go out of style.
Keith's pickup was built in this configuration by Paul Bos in the late '90s. Only a few things have changed since then, but the truck certainly doesn't show its age, compared to most hot rods built over a decade ago. The original builder/owner gets most of the credit for the build, but he received lots of help from his friends from the San Diego Prowlers Car Club. Although it was finished several years ago, it looks as fresh as ever, and Keith put it on display for the first time in over 10 years at the Goodguys Nashville Nationals. Keith's location in Gainesville, Georgia, made Nashville the most practical location to debut the truck after its change in ownership. It had been stored for quite some time, after being sold in 2004, and after Keith bought it in 2011, he decided to put it to use. The roadster pickup drives great, and aside from a little abuse from the sun, Keith has thoroughly enjoyed his time behind the wheel.
This timeless recipe starts with a pair of boxed Deuce 'rails, which have all sorts of period-correct equipment bolted to them. The list starts with a drilled I-beam axle from Bob McCoy's record-setting Red Hawk roadster, fit with '40 Ford brakes sporting drilled backing plates. Moving to the back, there's a polished Halibrand quick-change bolted to a pair of bright orange '40 Ford axle tubes, all of which is sprung by a Model A rear spring and located by a Pete & Jakes four-bar setup. The chassis is detailed flawlessly with painted sleeves in all of the drilled components, while the bright orange '40 Ford wires, measuring 16x4 up front and 16x6 out back, tie the color scheme together perfectly. The traction department consists of Firestone bias-ply rubber from Coker Tire, sized at 4.50/4.75-16 and 8.90-16 for the perfect big 'n' little combination.
This attention to detail doesn't stop with the chassis, as the body features equally tasteful treatments. The satin black is basic, but the flattened PPG acrylic enamel looks great for its age. Ron Batson performed the bodywork on the pickup, making the 2-inch stretched doors and 2-inch stretched cab appear to be factory equipment. The steel 36-inch bed is a custom piece, while the hood and hood sides are made from aluminum. Ron also handled the standard bodywork routine to straighten the original panels and get it ready for Jesse Elizalde and Jimmy Schoen to apply the materials. A DuVall windshield finishes off the look, with '34 Ford commercial headlights and '37 Ford taillights, adding the right amount of traditional flair to the exterior.
Just in front of a checkered firewall is a '65 Chevrolet 327ci small-block, built by Ross Zee at Autosports Performance. Camel hump heads ride atop the mostly stock short-block, while an original aluminum intake from a '68 Camaro Z/28 draws air and fuel from the 650-cfm Edelbrock carburetor. The fuel system is very simple, as the Model A relies on a custom 17-gallon fuel tank built by Mark Delong and a mechanical fuel pump to keep the small-block fed. A GM electronic ignition lights the fire, while a pair of ram horn exhaust manifolds send the spent gases into an expanse of 2-inch piping, fit with glasspack mufflers. Power is transferred to the rearend with a T10 four-speed manual transmission, which features a 10-1/2-inch clutch and a Hurst shifter.
Inside, the stitchwork is simple and clean with black Naugahyde covering the majority of the components. Dave Gade handled the upholstery work, and helped put the finishing touches on a very cool package. The dash features a center-mounted tachometer and a '32 Ford insert, packed with Stewart-Warner gauges, while a healthy dose of Bob McCoy pinstriping adds a bit of contrast to the satin black. You won't find a stereo system or any type of climate control in Keith's pickup, so driver comfort isn't exactly a top priority. Despite the lack of creature comforts, Keith enjoys driving the open-air pickup every chance he gets. We can't blame him, as his Model A radiates with traditional hot rod styling, and has a look that will never grow old.
Keith Colby's '28 roadster pickup is still perfect after all these years

Cash For Clunkers And More - Pit BoardWritten by on October 6, 2009 Bomber Q
Bomber Q
Hey Rob, In the article "Bomber Foundation" (Aug. '09), if you had chosen a '76 Chevelle that had a V-8 in it you wouldn't have needed to notch the frame. You didn't say anything about lowering or relocating the engine. Don't the rules for Hobby Stock usually say stock location with no engine setback? Great magazine, John
First off, glad you enjoy the mag. Hobby Stock rules often say stock location for the motor, but Frank's Enduro rules allow you to relocate the motor. His rules state that the front spark plug has to be in centerline with the upper ball joints. Therefore, the motor can be moved back and down. In order to accomplish this, the frame had to be notched to accommodate the fuel pump. Our apologies, we should have noted that in the story.
Dear Circle Track, For years now I have been thumbing through issues of your magazine, but about six months ago I subscribed. I love what you guys do and I thank you for your help and ideas. However, my family runs a cheaper class in the Midwest that we call Hornets, stock four-cylinder fwd cars. We may not be the most expensive cars on the track but here in the Midwest we far outnumber the other classes. On any given Saturday we will bring in 25-50 cars in our class. We would love to host a Circle Track representative at our track and maybe get a write up about us. You would help us out and show people what we are doing. Hey, maybe you could start a one-page section devoted to fwd in your magazine. I know your sales would sky rocket. I hope to hear back from someone soon. Charles Martin, No. 7x
Charles, Those four-cylinder fwd classes are certainly the backbone of numerous short tracks around the country. And a story on them may not be such a bad idea at all. So how 'bout it readers? Shoot Editor Rob an email at firstname.lastname@example.com and let us know that we should give you four-bangers a shot at being in the #1 Source for Advanced Racing Technology.
Cash For Clunkers
Rob, Your information about "How Obama Will Kill Racing" is slightly skewed. The reason is that cars that are older than 25 years will not be eligible for the Cash For Clunkers Program. Also, they have to be in a "driveable" condition. Any car with a model year prior to 1984 can't be used for the program, thus leaving those precious, hard-to-find 1970s chassis in peoples' garages or driveways. Christopher Nero
Chris, Right you are! Unfortunately, when I wrote the column, Cash for Clunkers, or C.A.R.S., was still a bill that had not yet been signed into law. Through the tireless work of SEMA and the SEMA Action Network, the bill that got signed into law was different (and more restrictive) than the original version on which I had based my column.
Toy Motors
Do the Toyotas, and so on have a foreign engine or a USA engine? Please advise me. Thank you, Roger McGrath
Roger, That depends on how you look at it. Toyota is, of course, a Japanese company, but the engines developed for NASCAR, USAC, and NHRA are, to our knowledge, completely built in the USA. So, take your pick.
Pro4 Mods
Do y'all have any information on the Pro4 Modified Series, or where I can get one of the chassis? Joe Smith
Hey Joe, The best source for information on this series is its website www.pro4mods.com. There are a number of different chassis builders around the country. Depending on where you live, your best bet might be Google to find a local builder.

Company's coming, and you need a centrepiece for your dining table. If you want to move away from the usual mini-pumpkins and Indian corn, consider these elegant alternatives. All of them can be replicated with minimal fuss, and some of the elements can likely be found by foraging in your garden. The trick is to achieve a pleasing balance of colour and texture, so don't be afraid to experiment or make substitutions. Have fun!

Hello all,
Does anyone on this site have any experiance with the NM ibex on the Florida Mnts? I have been a NM resident for years and have finally drawn an archery tag. My wife drew the F-IM tag as well. I know a few guys who have hunted them before and am picking their brains for pointers as I know it is going to be a tough tough hunt with a stick and string. If anyone else here has some words of wisdom for someone who has yet to experiance ibex on 'the rock' I am all ears.

SVALBARD, NORWAY (11 July 2010)—A new collection of some of North America's hottest foods—an eclectic range of New World chile peppers—were delivered to the cool Arctic Circle environs of the Svalbard Global Seed Vault today, where their exotic tongue-scorching qualities can be kept safe for centuries.
The seeds were delivered to the vault by a seven-person bipartisan delegation from the U.S. Congress, led by Senator Benjamin L. Cardin (D-MD), Chairman of the Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe (U.S. Helsinki Commission), and including Assistant Senate Majority Leader Dick Durbin (D-IL). The seeds were handed over to Dr. Cary Fowler, Executive Director of the Global Crop Diversity Trust, the institution that funds the operation and management of the seed vault, as well as the transport of unique seeds from collections around the world. The latest samples of seeds come from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) National Plant Germplasm System (NPGS) in Fort Collins, Colorado.
Other members of the bipartisan delegation are: Representative Chris Smith (R-NJ), the Helsinki Commission's Ranking Republican; Commissioner Senator Tom Udall (D-NM); Commissioner Representative Louise McIntosh Slaughter (D-NY); Commissioner Representative Robert B. Aderholt (R-AL); and Representative Lloyd Doggett (D-TX).
"The world is interdependent when it comes to crop diversity, the essential raw material needed for a healthy and robust food supply," said Senator Cardin. "As we manage the impact of climate change and other natural and man-made disasters around the world, the seed vault in Svalbard will be the safety deposit box that ensures we can keep that food supply intact."
The so-called "doomsday" seed vault now contains seeds of more than 525,000 crop varieties, making it the most diverse assemblage of crop diversity amassed anywhere in the world. Overall, this week's deposit consists of a total of 537 varieties of 13 crops.
It includes Wenk's Yellow Hots, a pepper that starts out yellow and hot and cools somewhat to red and medium-hot; Pico de Gallo or "Rooster's beak," a medium-hot salsa staple; and the unpredictable San Juan "Tsile," a New Mexico chili still grown by elder farmers in a Native American pueblo that can be anything from mild to medium to hot.
"In New Mexico, our distinctive red and green chile peppers not only define our cuisine, they also symbolize our state's unique cultural heritage and the livelihoods of generations who have called it home," said Senator Tom Udall. "I'm very pleased that we are saving New Mexico's most deliciously famous crop in the Svalbard Global Seed Vault."
The USDA's Agricultural Research Service (ARS) has sent tens of thousands of seeds from its National Plant Germplasm System to the Svalbard Global Seed Vault since January 2008. "Our goal, over the next 10 to 15 years, is to have the majority of the system's 511,000 collections represented in the Svalbard vault," said Edward B. Knipling, ARS administrator.
He added, "While we've sent samples from some very familiar crop species, such as maize, soybeans, and peanuts, we're also sending more exotic germplasm, such as seeds of the wild strawberry Fragaria iturupensis, collected from the island of Iturup on the lower flank of the Atsunupuri Volcano in far eastern Russia. ARS has a strong commitment to sharing its crop diversity to ensure that Svalbard is well positioned to help protect the world's genetic diversity."
In addition to the assortment of chile peppers, the Fort Collins collection also deposited in the vault this week melons, peanuts, beans, sesame, hibiscus, squash, gourd, and 448 different varieties of sorghum. Sorghum is a crop that is grown around the world and is a dietary staple for 500 million people in over 30 countries. It is getting renewed attention as a "climate change ready" crop due to its ability to withstand hot and dry conditions.
"Sorghum is an amazingly versatile crop—it's used for flour, bread, animal feed, beer and, increasingly, biofuels—and it's likely to become ever more important to global food security given its drought tolerance," said Fowler. "But production in many areas is threatened by insect pest and plant disease," he continued. "This intensifies the need to conserve sorghum diversity so that plant breeders can find the genetic traits they need to equip this important crop for these challenges."
The seed vault was constructed deep in a mountain on a remote Norwegian archipelago near the North Pole as a fail-safe back-up to existing crop collections around the world. Collections are constantly under threat from wars and natural disasters but also small but important threats like lack of funding to pay for electricity to store seeds in refrigerators. The seeds in the vault are the property of the country or institution that sent them and are available in the public domain through these institutions. Crop collections around the world serve the daily needs of farmers and plant breeders in their work to find new traits that can boost yields or address problems posed by diseases, pests or shifting climate conditions.
The Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe (www.csce.gov)
The CSCE, also known as the U.S. Helsinki Commission, is an independent agency of the Federal Government charged with monitoring compliance with the Helsinki Accords and advancing comprehensive security through promotion of human rights, democracy, and economic, environmental and military cooperation in 56 countries. The Commission consists of nine members from the U.S. Senate, nine from the House of Representatives, and one member each from the Departments of State, Defense, and Commerce.
Svalbard Global Seed Vault (www.seedvault.no)
The Svalbard Global Seed Vault is designed to store duplicates of seeds from seed collections from around the globe. If seeds are lost, e.g. as a result of natural disasters, war or simply a lack of resources, the seed collections may be reestablished using seeds from Svalbard. The seed vault is owned by the Norwegian government which has also financed the construction work, costing nearly NOK 50 million.
The Global Crop Diversity Trust (www.croptrust.org)
The mission of the Trust is to ensure the conservation and availability of crop diversity for food security worldwide. Although crop diversity is fundamental to fighting hunger and to the very future of agriculture, funding is unreliable and diversity is being lost. The Trust is the only organization working worldwide to solve this problem. The Trust is providing support for the ongoing operations of the seed vault, as well as organizing and funding the preparation and shipment of seeds from developing countries to the facility.
The Agricultural Research Service is the principal intramural scientific research agency of the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

Written By: The Atlantic Coast Conference
Greensboro, NC - A pair of standout players from Atlantic Coast Conference schools-NC State's Ted Brown and Miami's Vinny Testaverde-were named Tuesday to be among the newest class of inductees into the National Football Foundation and College Hall of Fame.
Tuesday's announcement came during a press conference at the NASDAQ OMX MarketSite in the heart of Times Square.
Since 2006, ACC schools have had 18 former players and coaches inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame and now total 95 inductees.
Brown and Testaverde will be inducted as part of a the 2013 College Football Hall of Fame Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) Class at the 56th NFF Annual Awards Dinner on December 10, 2013, at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in New York City. They will be honored guests at the National Hall of Fame Salute at the Allstate Sugar Bowl in New Orleans on January 2, 2014 and officially enshrined in the summer of 2014.
A consensus All-American as a senior, Brown is the only football player in ACC history to be named first-team All-ACC four times. He still holds ACC career marks for most 100-yard games (27) and most rushing touchdowns (49) and he topped 1,000 rushing yards in three of his four seasons with the Wolfpack. He went on to an eight-year career in the National Football League with the Minnesota Vikings, rushing for over 4,500 yards and 53 touchdowns.
Brown becomes seventh former NC State player or coach to be inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame joining Dennis Byrd (2010), Lou Holtz (2009), Jim Ritcher (1998), Roman Gabriel (1989), Jack McDowall (1975) and Buck Shaw (1972).
One of the most celebrated players in a Miami program stocked with mythical talent, Vinny Testaverde claimed virtually every major award during his senior season in 1986. He becomes the ninth Hurricane to be inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame joining Jimmy Johnson (2012), Russell Maryland (2011), Gino Torretta (2009), Bennie Blades (2006), Don Bosseler (1990), Ted Hendricks (1987), Andy Gustafson (1985) and Jack Harding (1980).
As a senior, Testaverde (1982, 1984-86) earned unanimous First-Team All-American honors, and he won the Heisman Trophy, the Walter Camp Player of the Year, Maxwell, Davey O'Brien and UPI Player of the Year awards. He led the Canes to three consecutive bowls, including the 1987 Fiesta Bowl National Championship game. He finished his collegiate career with more than 6,000 passing yards and 48 touchdown passes, and he still ranks in the top five in virtually every passing category in school history. Testaverde, who was a redshirt on Miami's 1983
National Championship team, went 23-3 as a starter playing for legendary coaches Howard Schnellenberger and Hall of Famer Jimmy Johnson.
Tampa Bay selected Testaverde as the No. 1 overall selection in the 1987 NFL Draft, and his pro career spanned 21 seasons with seven different teams. The 1998 All-Pro and two-time Pro Bowl selection finished his NFL career seventh all-time in passing yards (46,233) and eighth in touchdowns (275).

Hospice site holds deep meaning for many
Those with memorials to loved ones at San Diego Hospice site worry about upcoming property auction
Maybe once a month, Peter Jensen walks the winding path to the memorial point behind San Diego Hospice where his wife's name is engraved on a paving stone.
He stands there with his memories, looking west from the hospice's blufftop property at the city down below and Mission Bay off in the distance.
"I'm not the kind of person who goes and visits cemeteries, but I felt the need to have a place that would literally be a touchstone to stand there and remember her," Jensen said.
San Diego Hospice recently told the public it would close and is proceeding toward a bankruptcy auction of its eight-acre Hillcrest property on April 30. Scripps Health has stepped in with an initial offer of $10.7 million, but a private developer could bid more, making the hospice's future uncertain.
That uncertainty makes Jensen and many others who have memorials and memories at the facility nervous.
"It's very concerning to me that, if the building is repurposed in some way, the site might not be there anymore," he said.
Since the first wing of the 24-bed hospice hospital opened in 1992, it has accepted memorials and tributes in the names of departed loved ones who came to Hillcrest to spend the last few weeks or months of their lives.
But the hospital has been closed since the end of 2012. Leaders have said that the hospice's difficulties with a Medicare audit that appears to question its reimbursement practices is the main reason why the venerable institution, once the largest of its kind with a worldwide reputation, must close.
San Diego Hospice is working closely with Scripps Health, which is accepting many of the hospice's 400 remaining home-care patients and hiring as many of its employees as possible.
Chris Van Gorder, Scripps' chief executive officer, said in an email Sunday afternoon that the health care company plans to use the 8.24-acre property as a "small inpatient hospice as the facility is perfectly designed for that use and not much else."
"In addition, we would intend to honor the past memorials and recognition to donors as well as the path around the facility, which so many use," Van Gorder said.
Scripps' offer, its attorney has said, is based on a fair appraisal of the property's value, but there is always the possibility that a developer might bid more for this parcel with a 180-degree view of Mission Valley.
The property's underlying zoning is for low-density multiunit residential use, which allows one dwelling unit per 3,000 square feet. That breaks down to a maximum of 119 dwelling units for the property.
Travis Ives, a commercial real estate broker with Cushman & Wakefield in San Diego, said developer interest, if there is any, is most likely to favor homes over medical office buildings or other commercial uses.
"Multifamily is in high demand in that area. You're not going to get office; you're not going to get medical office," Ives said.
He added that he recently did research on another Hillcrest property that was planned for use as medical office buildings to see what it would be worth if it went residential.
"If it's all teed up and ready to build, they would pay $100,000 per door," he said, referring to the maximum number of residences that the underlying zoning would allow.
If the hospice property would allow 119 units, a price of $100,000 each would yield a land value of $11.9 million, about $1 million more than Scripps' offer.
But that price would be reduced by any entitlement work or other activities that would need to be performed in order to develop the property, Ives said.

1962 Chevy C-10 - Six-SlaveWritten by on July 1, 2007 Contributors: Jorge Nunez Stovebolt-Powered '62
There are no two ways about it, when the subject comes to classic Chevrolet pickups, oftentimes it seems like the formula most truck builders choose to hop one up and customize it is about as varied as the floorplan of any one of a thousand-plus Wal-Marts. Right off the bat, the powertrain is most likely going to be a 350-inch small-block motor tapped to a Turbo 350 automatic transmission. That's not to say there's anything bad or wrong with this combination, but just like walking into a Wal-Mart, it's awful predictable.
For Tom Karp of Fullerton, California, there's just something about an old shortbed Chevy Fleetside pickup that he really loves. So much so that when the time came to buy a work truck to serve his needs as an electrician, he spent $10,000 for one of the cherriest '62 C-10s he had ever seen. The short-wide Chevy rolled off of its Flint, Michigan, assembly line standard-equipped with a 235-inch stovebolt-six hooked up to a three-speed stick transmission. ('62 was the last year of production for the 235; it was replaced in '63 as the base motor by the modernized 230-inch six.)
After utilizing the stock '62 as a work truck for a while, Tom soon found himself bit by the customizing bug. Right off the top, he wanted to drop more horsepower into the truck, but he didn't want to go the typical small-block 350 Chevy route. On the flip side of how common a small-block engine is, Tom was faced with the fact that the '62 came standard-equipped with front torsion-bar suspension, which in this day and age is not the easiest thing to get replacement parts for. As luck would have it, the solution to both problems came in one fell swoop with the appearance of a wrecked '73 C-10 with a 292-inch six that was hit in the rear. Bingo, this meant Tom had a front crossmember with a conventional suspension and disc brakes that would bolt right in, plus it give him the basis for an unusual engine that could be hopped up and ready to roar.
Starting with the L-25 stovebolt motor, after Tom rebuilt the internals to factory specs-including the camshaft profile-he installed an Offenhauser intake manifold to accept an Edelbrock four-barrel carb with an Offenhauser valve cover to match. To handle the exhaust side of the single port-face engine, Tom used a set of Sanderson headers. In place of the stock three-speed stick gearbox, Tom opted for a rebuilt 700-R4 automatic transmission. To set the '62's stance, Tom looked to the folks at Classic Performance Parts to supply him with a set of their beefy 2-inch drop spindles equipped with one of their disc brake upgrades as well. In the rear, Tom maintained the original early C-10 Chevy coil spring setup ('60-66 GMCs came with leaf springs), but he lowered the stock height with a set of CPP coil springs. For tires and wheels in the rear, the '62 rolls on 18-inch wheels by Ken Esejian shod with 285/40 Toyo tires propelled by 3.56:1 gears. On the front, it's ditto for the Ken Esejian wheels shod with Toyos, but the front tire size was bumped down to 245/40.
When Tom first approached the bodywork on his truck, he was full steam ahead to have Rod Alexander mold in or clean up anything in sight. Starting at the hood, the seams were filled and the turn signals were shaved, rounding the nose off and ending with just two small openings centered at the hood latch. Moving rearward, details like the C-10 emblems, complete with original chrome, were left as accents, including the addition of '66 C-10 Custom Cab emblems on the cab's B-pillars to lighten up the dark appearance created by Rod Alexander's flawless paint work.
All the '62's window glass was replaced, including the curved windshield by Santa Clarita Auto Glass. Inside the cab rests a super sexy beige leather bench seat by Tea's Design. To accentuate the Tea's seat, Tom covered the door panels in matching leather and laid the carpeting in his truck as well. Instrumentation is provided by a complete assortment of Auto Meter gauges in the forefront of a Colorado Custom steering wheel mounted on a '70 Chevy tilt column. Behind every great cab is a good bed, and the bed on Tom's '62 is no exception thanks to a beautiful ash wood bed kit complete with stainless steel skids from Bruce Horkey's Wood & Parts. Tom installed the Bruce Horkey's kit, citing the choice of ash over oak because he preferred the lighter, whiter look of ash over the yellowish appearance of oak.
For a pickup that started out as a basic work truck, Tom's '62 has evolved into a classic cruiser that he still isn't afraid to drive whenever he gets the notion. Interestingly enough, the stovebolt-powered C-10 Fleetside still lacks a radio and doesn't have air conditioning. Tom's future plans for the C-10 include a sound system, air conditioning, and yanking the six-cylinder engine out and dropping in a V-8...but not a 350!

The stunning ash bed floor and stainless steel skid-strips are from Bruce Horkey's Wood & Parts of Windom, Minnesota.Thanks to a dual master cylinder/power brake booster along with a disc brake conversion, all from Classic Performance Products, the '62 Chevy stops a lot better than it goes.Tom used a leather bucket bench seat from Tea's Design as the starting point for the interior that he finished off by himself. The gauges are from Auto Meter, and the steering wheel is from Colorado Custom.

I am in a good mood today, so let's try this. Share what you like best about Ames as a town and ISU.
Ames: the town revolves around the college, it is a pure college town, and 98% of the community realizes this. Without ISU, Ames would be nothing.
ISU: our campus is great. It's beautiful and is completely separated from the town.
What say you?
I am in a pretty good mood also. Probably because the construction in the other room of my office has finished and I don't have a pounding headache. Might be a little high from the paint fumes.
ISU: Loved the campus landscaping and how the campus is close together
Ames: I liked the size of the city. Not too small but not too big either.
Gamedays can't be beat.
The Official Paul Rhode's Salt Truck Driver.
Ames: It simply has a great vibe. The city doesn't try to be anything it isn't, and people are really relaxed, welcoming, and friendly. There's an indefineable charm that you can't really appreciate until you experience it.
ISU: Gorgeous campus, and the student body/alumni are generally composed of hard-working, driven, and intelligent Midwestern folks.
In 1984, I was hospitalized for approaching perfection.
I love the beautiful campus and the fact that it is so separated from the town. The UW Madison is right downtown with major intersections right in the middle of campus, I really dislike that.
Ames is just a nice town in general.
I miss college :(
Battle's BBQ
Self proclaimed 2012 CF Newcomer of the Year
oh, and being at a big sports event where we are winning.
Ames: It's better than Lincoln.
ISU: It's better than UNL.
Cyclones | Vikings | Royals | Red Wings
Ames: Small town feel that is a true college town. I can get to one side or the other with ease. Withing 30-40min of a "Major" city like Des Moines. Great amenities and restaurants for its size.
ISU: GORGEOUS (and I'm not just talking about the women either). Everything is pretty much connected, safe, friendly, feels like a big family, sporting events are phenomenal.
Every time I talk about ISU/Ames/Iowa out here in Ohio my friends make fun of me, they truly don't know what they're missing.
Ames: it's not Iowa City
ISU: it's not U of I

Copycat...although you are also correct in your assessment.
north grand mall ??
Basically what others have said.
ISU: Size of the campus. Being able to walk all the way across it in 15 minutes is pretty sweet. I liked the different dorm options, too.
Both: CyRide! Wanna get to class without walking thru all that snow? Take a bus! Wanna get home from the bar at 2am? Take a bus!
Ames: Size, businesses, close enough but not too close to DSM.
Others comments speak for myself as well. It's a near perfect college town. Although a good quality mall wouldn't hurt. ISU campus is beautiful especially central campus.

Be sure to catch the St. Louis Rams Tailgate Show every Sunday at 10:30 a.m on KSDK NewsChannel 5.
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - A furious, thrilling finish to regulation ended with an overtime dud. A tie - and nobody particularly likes a tie.
Especially not the NFC West-leading 49ers, with a chance to separate themselves against a division rival.
San Francisco and St. Louis played the NFL's first tie game in four years as kickers from both teams missed overtime field goals in Sunday's 24-24 outcome.
Greg Zuerlein kicked a 53-yarder, but the Rams were penalized 5 yards for delay of game. He tried again from 58 as coach Jeff Fisher played for the win, and missed wide right with 2:42 left in OT.
San Francisco's David Akers missed wide left on a 41-yard attempt that could have sealed it for the 49ers (6-2-1), who lost quarterback Alex Smith to a first-half concussion.
And just when it seemed the 49ers - and Akers' typically reliable left leg - would have one more chance to win it, San Francisco linebacker Patrick Willis was flagged for holding Lance Kendricks on third down. That extended St. Louis' last drive, a costly mistake in a long list of them on an uncharacteristically sloppy day by coach Jim Harbaugh's team.
Akers booted a tying 33-yarder with 3 seconds left in regulation after Sam Bradford threw a 2-yard touchdown pass to Austin Pettis with 1:09 remaining.
On the first play of OT, Bradford completed an 80-yard pass to Danny Amendola that took St. Louis (3-5-1) to the 2, but the play was called back for an illegal formation. Some 49ers fans got up to leave, then returned to their seats.
The last tie was between Philadelphia and Cincinnati, 13-13 in 2008.
Frank Gore ran for a 20-yard touchdown with 8:23 to go in regulation just 17 seconds after backup quarterback Colin Kaepernick scurried 7 yards for a score. Kaepernick finished 11 for 17 for 117 yards and also had eight carries for 66 yards, calmly leading the Niners after it took several series to find his groove.
Gore ran for 97 yards, while Michael Crabtree made five catches for 70 yards and a 14-yard touchdown from Smith before he left the game.
Amendola returned for the Rams following a three-game absence with a shoulder injury to make 11 catches for 102 yards. Bradford went 26 for 39 for 275 yards and two touchdowns.

ALEXANDRIA, Va. (WUSA 9) --- John Patterson can't say enough good things about the home makeover he received from Rebuilding Together Alexandria.
"I'm much more comfortable and more relaxed. To be able to do stuff."
The Vietnam Veteran and double amputee wanted to ease the cumbersome task of carrying groceries from his van to the porch of his front door.
"When they came over here, I asked them about putting a gate on my deck, so when I pull up my van, I didn't have to lug the groceries [up the steps]."
The non-profit organization installed a small metal gate on the side of the porch. Then Patterson could push the groceries through the gate, bypassing the need to walk up the porch steps with groceries in his hands.
Rebuilding Together Alexandria is the local chapter of a nationwide group working to preserve affordable housing and revitalize communities. All of the renovations are free for the target clients: homeowners with low-to-moderate income.
Rebuilding Together Alexandria installed a safety rail along the side of the stairs inside his home. These two items are just two out of the many improvements to his home. A wheelchair ramp was also added to the backyard deck.
"When we come, we are not only looking for the tasks that the homeowners want done, but things related to safety and health for the client," said Katharine Dixon, executive director of Rebuilding Together Alexandria.
Patterson also pays less on his bills because of new insulation and other energy-saving additions to his home. Rebuilding Together Alexandria worked on these changes after conducting an energy audit.
Now he saves an estimate of 20 to 25 percent on his heating and air conditioning bills because of the energy audit, according to Dixon.
All of the features are from the work of nearly 1,000 volunteers. These people come from varying backgrounds including skilled craftsmen, builders and everyday volunteers.
"My tool shed will rival anyone's tool shed," said Dixon who loves her job for allowing her to use her handyman skills.
To see if you qualify for a makeover by Rebuilding Together Alexandria, call (703) 836-1021.
NOTE: Gannett Foundation has given a grant to Rebuilding Together Alexandria.

Models Of The Runway: A Bad Attitude Stays In The Competition
September 03, 2009 09:00 PM by DA Southern
Models of the Runway left us with dissatisfied models at the end of last week. Well, one dissatisfied model, Mitchell's pick, who didn't want to go down in flames with the hapless designer. Well, we know there is nothing she can do except to have a better attitude, so if Mitchell does tank tonight, she will definitely be on the "Do not pick me†list with the other designers because they all know the score and there is enough pressure in the challenges without having a model with a pissy attitude.
So with Mitchell being eliminated…finally, Mitchell's model was sure she was toast. Model, Vanessa, was pleased to be paired with Ra'mon and then the back-biting began as the girls started to jockey for position so as to be picked for the next challenge.
Heidi then found out that one of the models, Erika, had gotten a commercial and was opting out of the model gig and we saw the return of Valarie who was not picked last week. Confusing, I know, but everyone was passed out scorecards before we began here.
Model, Fatma, was causing her share of trouble with her attitude and made an attempt to smooth it over with Vanessa but that started a mini shouting match that became just embarrassing to watch, but I just couldn't turn away.
The Elimination
Heidi gathered the designers and told them to choose the models for the next challenge and that a model could make or break a challenge. Ra'mon stayed with Vanessa and the rest of the designers seem to mix it up as they seemed to switch models more than I have ever seen on Project Runway.
Our sour-puss, Fatma, got chosen in the last moment, leaving Erika and Valerie to be chosen. Qristyl chose last and Valerie, who was concerned about being kicked off two weeks in a row, was able to stay in and sending Erica home.

The One-Step Choice offers a convenient solution if:
The One-Step Choice keeps things simple. You choose a single lifecycle fund to invest in. It's a convenient, low-maintenance way to have your retirement investments professionally managed for you.
TIAA-CREF Lifecycle Funds have names that match specific investment time horizons. So all you need to do is:
What is a TIAA-CREF Lifecycle Fund?
A Lifecycle Fund is a "fund of funds" that invests in a mix of assets. Sometimes called "target date funds," "retirement funds," or "age-based funds," they are designed and managed for investors who have a specific target retirement year in mind. The target date is an approximate date when investors may plan to begin withdrawing from the fund.
TIAA-CREF Lifecycle Funds invest in a mix of TIAA-CREF mutual funds including stocks, bonds and real estate investments.1
How do TIAA-CREF Lifecycle Funds Work?
In a lifecycle fund, the mix of assets changes over time to maximize return and minimize risk as the target year approaches.
The principal value of these funds is not guaranteed at any time, including the target date, which is the approximate date when investors plan to begin withdrawing their money.
1 Diversification and reallocating/rebalancing cannot ensure a profit or eliminate market risk and the principal value of these funds is not guaranteed at any time, including the target date of the fund (which is the approximate date when investors may plan to begin withdrawing their money). In addition to the fund-level expenses, Lifecycle Funds are also subject to the expenses of their underlying investments.
2 The Lifecycle Funds share the risks associated with the types of securities held by each of the underlying funds in which they invest, including market risk, company risk, foreign investment risks, interest-rate risk, credit risk, illiquid security risk, prepayment risk and extension risk. For a detailed discussion of risk, consult the prospectus.

On October 3, 2003, the Helsinki Commission held a briefing on human rights and democracy in the six Mediterranean Partners for Cooperation countries of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE): Algeria, Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Morocco, and Tunisia.
There has been a Mediterranean dimension of the Helsinki process from the outset. Throughout the negotiations that preceded and produced the Helsinki Final Act, issues relating to the Mediterranean region were discussed. The result was a section of the Final Act entitled, "Questions relating to Security and Cooperation in the Mediterranean." The Final Act does refer to the region, stating that "security in Europe is to be considered in the broader context of world security and is closely linked with security in the Mediterranean as a whole."
Under the original rubric of "non-participating Mediterranean countries," Algeria, Egypt, Israel, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco, Syria and Tunisia contributed to relevant discussions in the security dimension. These discussions were held in recognition of the relationship between security in Europe and in the Mediterranean region. The Mediterranean dimension of the OSCE was reconstituted in the mid-1990s under the designation "Mediterranean Partners for Cooperation." Countries included were Algeria, Egypt, Israel, Morocco and Tunisia. Jordan subsequently joined as a Partner.
Over the years the OSCE has convened a score of seminars, conferences and other fora focused on the Mediterranean dimension. In fact, the OSCE and the Government of Jordan hosted a seminar in mid-October on "The comprehensive approach to security: The OSCE experience and its relevance for the Mediterranean region." Additionally, a Contact Group was established in the mid-1990s to provide the opportunity for OSCE participating States and the six Mediterranean Partners to maintain dialogue on pertinent Mediterranean issues. Periodic meetings of the Contact Group are typically held at the ambassadorial level.
While none of the Mediterranean Partners for Cooperation have committed themselves to the OSCE commitments, the countries are party to a wide range of international conventions on human rights.
The Commission's early October briefing was held in advance of meetings hosted in Rome by the Italian parliament, in conjunction with the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly, including the Parliamentary Assembly's first day-long parliamentary "Forum on the Mediterranean." Commission participants in the Rome meetings were Chairman Rep. Christopher H. Smith (R-NJ), Ranking Member Rep. Benjamin L. Cardin (D-MD), Rep. Alcee L. Hastings (D-FL), Rep. Joseph R. Pitts (R-PA) and Rep. Jo Ann Davis (R-VA). Rep. Hastings chaired one of the sessions entitled "Developing the OSCE Mediterranean Dimension."
Though the Helsinki Commission has followed the evolution of the Mediterranean dimension of the OSCE, it does not have analysts monitoring the human rights situation in these states. Expert panelists participating in the briefing were: Frank Smyth, Washington Representative for the Committee to Protect Journalists; Karen Hanrahan, Director of Advocacy for Middle East and North Africa, Amnesty International USA; and, Joe Stork, Washington Director for the Middle East and North Africa division of Human Rights Watch.
Torture and ill treatment of detainees remain serious problems within the Mediterranean Partners, as do arbitrary detentions, lack of due process, and limits on religious practice. Such restrictions have been exacerbated in the name of anti-terror initiatives since the attacks of September 11. Unrest in the Mediterranean region, as well as repression, has given rise to human rights violations, with torture in varying degrees remaining a problem in all six countries. Journalists attempting to work in the region face difficulties as well.
Investigations into human rights abuses in Algeria are rarely carried out by the government, Hanrahan said. In the name of anti-terror, Algeria has threatened human rights and has reacted harshly against anti-government demonstrations. In one such wave of demonstrations, security forces killed 10 unarmed civilians in March and April, as reported by Amnesty. Some civilians were reported to have been killed by live ammunition, others were said to have been stabbed to death or killed by rubber bullets or tear-gas grenades aimed at their heads. The demonstrations were held to criticize political repression and failing social and economic conditions in Algeria. Many protesters were arrested in connection with these demonstrations and detained for several months.
The unresolved fate of thousands of "disappeared" people in Algeria is another of the continuing human rights violations reported in Amnesty International Report 2003. President Abdelaziz Bouteflika created a system to look into such disappearances following arrests since 1993 by Algerian security forces, but it is still unclear whether the system will be independent, impartial and effective enough to bring to justice those responsible for the crimes.
Egypt has also consistently violated human rights in the name of fighting terrorism, including systematic, widespread torture in detention facilities, according to Hanrahan. Authorities also fail to investigate torture quickly and comprehensively. The most common methods reported were electric shocks, beatings, suspension by the wrists or ankles, and various forms of psychological torture.
In one such case documented in Amnesty's 2003 report on Egypt, Wa'el Tawfiq, an activist for Palestinian causes, was arrested during the Cairo International Book Fair. He asserted that he had been tortured at the State Security Intelligence headquarters, and an independent medical examination found evidence supporting his claim.
In August, Human Rights Watch sent an open letter to Egypt's prosecutor general, urging him to drop emergency law prosecutions for peaceful dissent. The letter expressed particular concern that the charges against five defendants would punish them for legitimate expression, and that they would be denied due process and a fair trial. Stork noted that the ruling party in Egypt has recently emphasized the importance of civil rights and urged continued engagement with the Government of Egypt.
Israel was criticized for rights abuses including restrictions on freedom of movement. Human Rights Watch recently wrote an open letter to President Bush, asserting that the West Bank separation barrier violates freedom of movement of the Palestinians, endangering access to food, water, education, and medical services for an estimated 150,000 Palestinians during the first phase of construction.
Closures, curfews, and other obstacles to free movement of people have remained concerns in Israel, according to Hanrahan. She noted that reports of torture and ill treatment have also surfaced. She cautioned that she could also criticize Palestinian groups for violations, but suggested that since they lack nation status and are not an OSCE Mediterranean Partner, she would not examine that topic at the briefing.
Jordan has put its restrictions on various freedoms into the legal code, including laws that restrict what individuals are permitted to say about the king, Stork stressed. Laws quickly introduced after September 11 continue to diminish the right to freedom of expression, according to Amnesty's Report 2003. In August, officials closed the local office of the Qatar-based TV channel al-Jazeera after it showed one phone-in program considered insulting to the royal family.
Stork and Hanrahan met with King Abdullah during his September visit to Washington. While the king verbally committed to the protection of human rights, there are still problems, especially violations in the name of fighting terror, according to Hanrahan. Stork had positive words for Jordan, suggesting that it is the only OSCE Mediterranean Partner taking forward-looking steps on human rights, including women's rights.
Smyth devoted particular attention to the situation of journalists in Morocco as a country that currently imprisons journalists for their work. Though Morocco is not usually associated with chronic press freedom abuses, CPJ has noticed disturbing trends in the country. Over the last year, five Moroccan journalists have been detained in connection with their work, and two remain imprisoned.
The weakening of press freedom is largely the result of Morocco's attempt to fight terrorism, with the brunt of the crackdown coming after the May 16 terrorist attacks in Casablanca, which killed 44 people. An anti-terror law resulting from the attacks has been used to detain reporters who have written about militancy in the country.
Amnesty International released in February a report on Morocco, saying incidents of secret detentions and torture are on the rise. The report outlines concern about the anti-terror law, particularly its proposed provisions to widen the scope of the death penalty and extend the existing legal limit of detention without outside contact, where detainees risk torture and ill treatment. Stork noted some improvements in Morocco, where "disappearances," or kidnapings of dissidents, are less commonplace now than in years past.
"In the Arab world, where journalists have long suffered under repressive regimes, Tunisia's press freedom record has stood out as particularly appalling," Smyth said. Tunisian journalists have been censored, attacked and imprisoned for criticizing the regime since President Zine El Abdine Ben Ali came to power in 1987. At least two Tunisian journalists are currently in prison.
Zouhair Yahyaoui, a 34-year-old Internet journalist, was sentenced to prison for allegedly publishing false information and using "stolen communication lines" to post his web site, TUNeZINE.com. Yahyaoui angered Tunisian officials after posting an open letter from his uncle, criticizing the country's lack of judicial independence. Yahyaoui also satirized the president's 2002 referendum, which allowed him to run for a fourth term. Yahyaoui has staged hunger strikes to protest his imprisonment. Guards have confiscated his books and writing materials, according to Smyth, and guards have tampered with his food deeming it inedible.
Stork painted a grim outlook for Tunisia's government, noting that there is almost no point in trying to cultivate a dialogue. "While both Tunisia and Morocco are considered allies of the Bush administration, in its eagerness to encourage democratization in the Middle East, the United States cannot turn a blind eye to these flagrant human rights abuses," Smyth said. "After all, the United States must remember that the fundamental right of a free press is a crucial element to democracy."
An unofficial transcript of the briefing is available on the Helsinki Commission's Internet web site, www.csce.gov.
The United States Helsinki Commission, an independent federal agency, by law monitors and encourages progress in implementing provisions of the Helsinki Accords. The Commission, created in 1976, is composed of nine Senators, nine Representatives and one official each from the Departments of State, Defense and Commerce.

Last night I tried doing a 7.1.1 to 7.1.3 upgrade (7.1.1_GA_3196.RHEL5_64.20110527011124 to 7.1.3_GA_3346.RHEL5_64.20110928134520).
The first time it told me that my operating system was unknown (I'm running CentOS 5.6), so I re-ran it with --platform-override. This was after it shut down MySQL and tested the database.
Unfortunately, this process broke something. Zimbra wouldn't start at all. I restarted the upgrade with --platform-override and it completed the install, but Zimbra continued to fail:
Host localhost
Unable to determine enabled services from ldap.
Enabled services read from cache. Service list may be inaccurate.
Starting ldap...Done.
Starting zmconfigd...Done
Starting logger...Failed.
Starting logswatch...ERROR: service.FAILURE (system failure: ZimbraLdapContext) (cause: javax.naming.CommunicationException localhost:389)
zimbra logger service is not enabled! failed.
Starting mailbox...Done.
Starting snmp...Done.
Starting spell...Done.
Starting mta...Done.
Starting stats...Done.
Then I tried reverting back to my old version, but it said
Downgrading to version 7.1.1 from 7.1.3 is not supported.
I see this in the logs:
IOError: [Errno 2] File not found - /opt/zimbra/zimbramon/pylibs/conf$py.class (Permission denied)
-rw-r----- 1 root root 9149 Dec 6 02:50 /opt/zimbra/zimbramon/pylibs/conf$py.class
That's the same permissions as it had before.
I do have a backup of the mailboxes and the main/config ldap databases.
Here are my questions:
1. Does anyone have any ideas to move past this and get our Zimbra install back up and running?
2. Failing that, should I be able to revert by reinstalling 7.1.1 from scratch, importing the ldap database, and then importing the mailboxes?

Far Cry and Crysis developer Crytek has renewed threats to leave Germany if a proposed ban on violent video games is passed. As GamePolitics noted in June, the recommendation by German interior ministers would impose a total ban on the production and distribution of violent games.
Edge Online has comment from Crytek CEO Cevat Yerli (left) on what the unprecedented government action would mean for his company:
A ban on action games in Germany is concerning us because it is essentially like banning the German artists that create them. If the German creative community can't effectively participate in one of the most important cultural mediums of our future, we will be forced to relocate to other countries.
The current political discussion will deprive German talent of its place on the global game development stage, and deprive German consumers of entertainment that is considered safe and fun around the world.
How extreme is the anti-game sentiment in certain quarters of the German government? So extreme that in 2004, a SWAT team raided Crytek's offices. Crytek developer Tim Partlett described the scene:
In 2004 the Bavarian authorities sent in the state troopers… When the small tech team appeared to inspect our computers, they were accompanied by over one hundred flak-jacketed riot police, all armed with Heckler and Koch sub-machine guns.
It was a total overreaction… They arrived first thing in the morning, and kicked down our doors. They even raided the nearby private residences…
I was caught just outside the office… We were all shepherded into our Mo-Cap room, and there we were forced to remain until questioned, prevented from leaving by dozens of armed guards…
More than 60,000 Germans have signed a petition against the ban, triggering a mandatory government review of the proposal.

WASHINGTON (WUSA) -- Soon after the Inaugural ceremonies wrapped, the large crowds crowds of spectators started pushing their way to the metro stations.
"It was not organized at all," she said. "It was unorganized because it was an uncontrolled crowd."
Holly Hewlett was sitting nearby, and also growing increasingly more frustrated with her delay.
"This is the third station we've walked to to see if the Metro was working," she said.
Both women attended President Obama's first Inauguration, and say the trip home was smoother then.
"The last time we came in on the Metro at 5:30 in the morning. By 11:00 we were standing at the base of the Washington monument. The inauguration happened, we walked back to the Smithsonian and they put us on the train," Hewlett said.
Camilla Springfield took advantage of the downtown, and used the opportunity to rest.
"Just have a little bite to eat, a break, rest the legs and feet. Then get up and go again, she said, hoping the wait wouldn't be too long.
"An hour and a half, well be happy with that," she laughed.
According to Metro's Inauguration Day twitter account, many stations reopened around 3:00 pm and the delayed lines returned to a mostly-regular operating schedule.

Anybody know anything about 051??
Anybody know anything about 051??
What season did you draw?
It's one season now.
I used to hunt 051. Paradise Valley mostly. We would camp in Mulinex (not sure if that's spelled rite) and we would hunt Mulinex and Solid Silver. There is some real beautiful country there but never any big bucks mostly 3x3 and small 4x4's. Mulinex you can drive a rig almost to the end of the road and hunt out on foot from there. Large Quakey patches and plenty of water year round. We would SE a few sheep every year there too. Solid Silver also has decent roads to drive a pick up on al the way to the top and further but always seemed to be more guys in there hunting. Hinkey Summit is also a good place to hunt but I never hunted there. We stopped hunting thre area because of the croweds and lack if trophy bucks. It's been about 6-7 years since I've been there.
Good luck
I don't Break the rules, I Modify them.
