If you have Showtime, which edition do you have (basic, Limited, or Katy Perry)?: Katy Perry
Lot size: Um I don't know. Either 20x20, or 40x40
Number of bedrooms: Three
Specific instructions on decorating the bedrooms (gender, age, etc.)?: One bedroom is for a YA (soon to be adult) couple, one is for a teenage boy, and the other is for twin child girls.
Number of bathrooms: 3 and a half. One for each of the bedrooms and a small one for the household to kinda share

Do you want it decorated?: Yes, please

Special requirements (garden, pool, hot tub, etc.)?: Landscaping would be nice, but not too much as my computer dosn't have very good specs, and it's in Bridgeport. Hot tub, laundryroom, maybe a pool, a bit of backyard room to play tag, football, etc. A small playground with a swing, the playground house thing, and a sandbox. A tree house, a laundry room, three car garage (a car for both parents, and the teen boy). I would also like accomadations for a german shepard dog.
Additional instructions?: It will probably be placed in the suburban area of Bridgeport, or in the place of that one suburban house/apartment thing in the middle of Bridgeport. The family will be moving to Hidden Springs in a generation or two, so if you don't want to build in Bridgeport they can move to HS early.

Thank you for already sending me a friend-request.
My questions about your request - this is the first one I try to fulfill, sorry for the lots of questions
1. Type: Can you please tell me more, what type of house you mean as 'luxury suburban', or put some links to houses of the preferred style. I have some (different) ideas, but I would like to build something you'd prefer. I'd like to build in Hidden Springs if it's fine for you - so which area you plan to use there?
2. Lot size: I'll try the 20x20 first, and if it would be too small, I'll move it to a larger lot. 40x40 is the only size, or I could try any other size between these regarding the available lot-sizes in the HS-area you'd like to use?
3. Decoration: you wrote, that your computer's specifics are a bit low, so how much would like the house decorated? I tend to use many deco-items, on a larger lot it can cause lag too, but it's your experience, so tell me please.
4. Playground: Do you mean the playground house, which came with the base game, and the tree house is the generation item - so you'd like both?
5. How much space you wish for the german shepard dog, and where? (in- or outside)
6. You'd like a 3-car garage - all cars need to store in the garage, or I can add an outside parking-space for any of them?
I think, that's all for now.
Thank you!

AVONDALE, Ariz. (AP) -- Carl Edwards pulled away on a late start to snap a 70-race winless streak Sunday, the second long drought he's ended at Phoenix International Raceway.
Edwards broke the longest slump of his career by winning at Phoenix in 2010. He won for the first time since Las Vegas in 2011 by leading the final 78 laps on the 312-mile race around PIR's odd-shaped oval.
Coming off a miserable week at Daytona, where he wrecked five cars, Edwards got a push from defending Sprint Cup champion Brad Keselowski on the restart with two laps left. He pulled away to win the first non-restrictor-plate race with NASCAR's new Gen-6 car.
Edwards did his celebratory backflip for the first time in nearly two years, then went into the stands to celebrate with the fans -- just like he did after his last win at PIR.

Feisty Tulisa Contostavlos was never likely to go into hiding after her sex tape shame and she now admits the scandal has made her stronger than ever.
Just a month after the explicit footage hit the web, the defiant X Factor judge has told fans she has no regrets over the incident.
She said: "I could sit all day long saying I wish I'd never done this or met that person but at the end of the day, with the position I'm in, I can't exactly complain.
"Everything's taken me to the place that I'm in and made me the person I am. It just makes you stronger, doesn't it?"
N-Dubz Dappy Arrested After Fight, Cousin Of Tulisa Contostavlos Bailed After Petrol Station Incident
Tulisa's world was shaken when a clip of her performing a sex act on her ex-boyfriend Justin Edwards leaked online, but the N-Dubz singer has well and truly brushed off the controversy - even hinting she has been signed up for another series of The X Factor.
She told Top Of The Pops magazine: "I don't know if I'm allowed to answer. I suppose it doesn't really matter, so let's just say (I've known for) quite a while.
"Would it be cheeky to say I think I did a good enough job to keep my place?"
She is even making plans to branch out into fashion and acting: "I want to bring out another perfume, look into clothing lines and bring out my own brand of stuff, too. I'm not sure yet, but I might also get into cosmetics - and maybe a bit of acting as well."
Tulisa arrived in LA at the beginning of February to record her debut album (Pic: WENN)
And only a few days in to her trip, she was doing a Katie Price and getting her hair seen to by top US stylists (Pic: WENN)
Getting her extennos sorted. (Pic: WENN)
In between recording sessions there was enough time to hit the town. (Pic: WENN)
Tulisa was all smiles on the trip despite her recent love split from boyfriend Fazer. (Pic: WENN)
But she batted off the attention of admirers at a pre-Grammys party. (Pic: WENN)
On her way out of the studio. (Pic: WENN)
Tulisa's style offensive was also much talked about as she showed off a stylish American wardrobe. (Pic: WENN)
Tulisa is so LA now she wears sunnies in the dark. (Pic: WENN)
On Valentine's Day Tulisa headed straight out on the town after leaving the studio. (Pic: WENN)
Partying with pals, it was a case of Fazer who? (Pic: Twitter)
Never far from her side was her PA and best mate Gareth Varey who also had a tattoo of her name done in his leg during their trip. (Pic: WENN)
(Pic: WENN)
(Pic: Splash)
And bumped into former TOWIE star Mark Wright. (Pic: Twitter)
With debut single We Are Young in the can, it was time to film the video. (Pic: Splash)
That's a lot of luggage there dear! (Pic: Splash)
Getting cheeky on the shoot. (Pic: Splash)
And of course Gareth had to get in on the action in the video as Tulisa showed off her curves in a swimsuit. (Pic: WENN)

If you have 7 years worth of points, put in for the elk refuge.
I have been applying for a Wyoming area 16 type one for seven years without any luck. I can and will put it one more year as a nonresident and if I don't draw can still get a resident tag according to my one year timeframe for residency. However, I would realy like to use all the time, effort and money put into preference point accumulation to apply for an area with reasonably successfull drawing odds and trophy class elk (350-400) for 2013. I am sure up to the work of pursuing trophy bulls that are hard to come by. Any suggestions would be great help!!!!!!!
If you have 7 years worth of points, put in for the elk refuge.
I'm confused by your post. You indicate that you will soon be a resident, when you qualify for resident licenses your preference points for elk will be worthless. Use them next year before your residency status changes. 16 is probably as good as anything.
I'm also confused how you could apply for and/or receive a non-resident OR resident license in a given year. Must be a pretty unique set of circumstances.
Could be confusing, or maybe I have not understood the regs. I will have to enter the NR draw for 2013. If I do not draw, I can buy leftover resident tags due to the fact I will be a resident as of June 2013. However, I would like to use the best chance of chasing elk in a trophy region before I lose my preference points as a resident.
I think you are mis understanding it.
I am guessing June of 2012 is the day you moved to Wyoming, and you have been there for 365 days, with no great absences?
If that is the case then you are legal to hunt the 2013 drawing as a resident. Regardless of when the draw is.
If I can find work home in Wyoming I'll establish my residency in November of 2013. So I couldn't hunt until November of 2014 as a resident. Meaning I would have very little hunting time in 2014.
You are correct about the 365days in WY for residency. The application for NR elk is due Jan 31, Resident elk due in May, I'm not considered resident till late June. Thus, if I waited for a possible resident leftover tag, I will have wasted $350 of preference points and increased odds of drawing a trophy area. Are there rules that state even though you become resident after drawing a nonresident tag you can't use it because you are now a resident?
Call the game and fish.
I really am not checking for rules and regs, I have already contacted G&F. I was really hoping, being a newbie to this website, that there may me some suggestions from you guys on certain areas here in this great state to have an opportunity of killing a monster elk with seven preference points as a nonresident.

Badminton Extends SCC Winning Streak
A four-time defending champion of the South Coast Conference, the Pasadena City College women's badminton team extended its conference winning streak to 36 matches with a 20-1, SCC-opening victory at El Camino College Wednesday.
The Lancers (1-2 overall) haven't lost a conference match since the start of the 2010 season.
PCC's No. 1 singles player Angie Ortiz dropped El Camino's No. 1 Corinne Belandres, 21-7, 21-16, and rolled past No. 2 Callie Rodela, 21-7, 21-5, while teaming for two wins in doubles with fellow sophomore Grace Espinoza. The Ortiz-Espinoza unit played as No. 2 doubles and defeated Belandres-Rodela, 21-14, 21-17, and the Warriors' duo of Rebecca Maier and Brittany Brown, 21-1, 21-5.
Freshman Alice Liew, at No. 2 singles, lost a tough one to Belandres, 21-19, 21-12, (El Camino's lone team point) and beat Rodela, 21-10, 21-5. Liew teamed with Shaghig Avedisian at PCC No. 1 doubles to down Belandres-Rodela, 21-16, 21-12, and Maier-Brown, 21-8, 21-4.
Espinoza, (pictured) at No. 3 singles, No. 4 Avedisian, No. 5 Alyssa Boyt, and No. 6 Alejandra Palacios each won two singles matches in straight sets. Boyt-Palacios won their lone No. 3 doubles in beating Bryar Cochran and Beanna O'Dell, 21-17, 21-5.
"We put that North tournament behind us and played much better from top to bottom in the conference opener," said PCC head coach Bill Sanchez. "The sophomores are showing the freshmen about the pride factor that we have in wanting to continue our conference success. We're shooting for a fifth straight title, so this was a great way to begin."
On Friday, March 15, the Lancers visit East Los Angeles College for a 2 p.m. conference match.

We also would like to review the prospects for democratic development and human rights in Serbia now that the state of emergency imposed following the assassination of Prime Minister Djindjic has been lifted.
In less than two weeks the U.S. Government will need to determine whether the efforts by the Government of Serbia and Montenegro have met the legal requirements necessary for certain U.S. bilateral assistance programs to continue. Three conditions have been placed on this assistance, but of these conditions cooperation with the International War Crimes Tribunal continues to be of primary concern to the members our Commission. We certainly have welcomed the tough measures that the authorities in Belgrade have taken in the wake of Mr. Djindjic's murder to crack down on the criminal elements which have continued to be a barrier to Serbia and Montenegro's full integration into the institutions of our Euro-Atlantic Community. Friends and well-wishers of Serbia and Montenegro, of whom I would count myself as one, very much want to do all that we can to encourage these courageous actions and insure that they are continued. This momentum must not be lost if a lasting foundation for democracy and a functioning market economy is to be firmly established. Indeed, the tragedy of this past March may have offered us a special opportunity to deal with the heavy legacy of the past.
In this process we recognize that decisions will be difficult and sometimes unpopular. Bold action by Serbia's leaders will be critical. However, I would hope we might agree that the progress already made by the democratic forces in Belgrade in overcoming the estrangement between Serbia and the West of the Milosevic years has been great enough that there is no real option other than to keep moving forward.
We are most pleased to have four distinguished experts to enlighten us with their views. We are particularly honored to welcome Amb. Ivan Vujacic, the Ambassador of Serbia and Montenegro to the United States who has the challenging but promising task of being both a major archectect and builder of what we hope will be a close and productive partnership between his country and the United States. We are also very pleased to have Nina Bang-Jensen, of the Coalition for International Justice, Elizabeth Andersen of Human Rights Watch and James Fisfis of the International Republican Institute. Ms. Bang-Jensen will be giving particular attention to Serbia's level of cooperation with the International Criminal Tribunal. Ms. Andersen will be discussing progress on human rights and democracy, with special focus of the development of the judicial system. Mr. Fisfis, who is currently working in Serbia, will provide valuable insights into trends in Serbian public opinion. Amb. Vujacic will conclude by providing his government's perspective on recent developments.
I would ask that all participants to please limit their presentations to less than ten minutes so that we have time for questions and discussion. Of course, we will be very pleased to insert the complete versions of their statements in the record of this session that we will publish in full. For additional information relating to the subject of today's briefing I would also call your attention to the Commission's website www.csce.gov.

Idaho Frank Church- River of No Return Wilderness Hunt
Unit 27- 15-22 September 2012
Tags- 1x Elk, 1x Deer, 1x Bear, 2x Grey Wolf
15 September
We met at McCall Aviation in McCall, Idaho at 0645 to load up the Islander plane and get our flight briefs. We ended up having to wait a little bit until there was enough light to see before we took off. We flew into the forest service airstrip at about 0800, crossed the river at the pack-bridge and filled up 1.5 liters water from the river. The plan was to hike upstream to and take the trail up to the area we planed to hunt. That plan changed though and we made a horrible decision to go straight up a ridge that ran down to the river instead of using the trails. We pushed hard to get to the top, hiking up the ridge which gained 3000' in less than 2 miles (40-degree incline). We finally reached the top at about 3 p.m.; out of water and half-dead. Once at the top we dropped our packs, ate some lunch and started making our way to the closest known water, 2 miles away.
On the way to the alpine lake my brother got so dehydrated he was throwing up and couldn't lift his legs more than a few inches. I forced him to sit under a tree next to the game trail and wait for me to return with water. I was almost as bad off as my brother, but had to get to the water and back or risk losing him.
I finally made it to the lake and after a few pumps my water filter broke!!! I ended up having to use my emergency water treatment tabs to treat 7L of water. After filling up all our water bladders I had to make the steep 1000' climb out of the lake basin to get back to my brother. By the time I made it back to him he was doing much better, but I was having trouble walking and having dizzy spells that would force me to a knee.
We stumbled back to our backpacks just in time to glass a drainage until dark. After glassing light was gone, we set up camp and ate dinner. Then we finally went to bed.
Several times during the night we could hear animals moving around on the bench behind the tent, but we never could figure out what they were.
16 September
We woke up at 0615 and glassed the same drainage for a few hours then moved over the ridge to glass the top of drainage we climbed the day before. Nothing seen. At about 0930 we started to hunt our way back to the water. On the way we stopped to glass a rocky area with strips of pines at the top that looks outstanding for Mule deer. We saw nothing. We also stopped to glass an unnamed basin we called The Bowl. This looked like awesome elk and deer country and we decided we would return to hunt it later.
After filling water, eating lunch and napping on the grass next to the lake we hiked back to camp. In the evening we hiked up the hill to watch the bench and saddle just above camp, hoping to catch a glimpse of whatever was making all that noise the night before. Nothing showed itself, but there was a lot of elk sign in the new growth pines and willow covered bench. After dark we ate dinner and went to bed.
17 September
We still-hunted to the same saddle we glassed the night before and saw nothing (No new sign either). Then we decided to work our way through the new growth pines and deadfall at the very top of the drainange east of camp. We crossed a small clearing in the new growth pines that was scattered with fresh elk tracks and was obviously used the night before. Shortly after crossing the opening we looked back to see a cow and a young 4-pt bull elk crossing the clearing. They made it into the timber before brother could get a shot. I told him to get a steady rest on a stump and watch the ridge on the opposite side of the draw. Sure enough the elk popped out on the open ridge 350-yards away. The bull paused at the top of the ridge and I waited for him to shoot. he decided the bull wasn't big enough to warrant all the work to pack him out (a good decision) and passed on the bull. The elk left the ridge and headed towards The Bowl. We hiked back to camp to rest a bit and make plans for the evening.
After a short break, I went to glass for Mule deer to no avail. My brother wasn't feeling well so he slept in the tent for 1½ hours. By the time I got back from glassing he was feeling better and hiking down the ridge to glass the drainage near camp so I joined him. We saw nothing moving.
At about 2 p.m. we decide to hike back to the small clearing we saw the elk in. There was tons of sign in the area and we reasoned that it was more sign than 2 elk could create. We sat and napped in the shade while we waited for it to cool down enough for the elk to start moving. We got into position early because we would have to walk through the clearing to get into position. Not the best way to do things but we tried it anyway. Nothing showed in the clearing that evening.
The smoke from the Halstead Fire was so thick this morning that we couldn't see more than 200 yards, so we decided to sleep in. That suited us both just fine! After breakfast we packed up camp and moved to a new camp at the top of The Bowl, then hiked to the lake to refill our water and have lunch. The basin above the lake looked like outstanding mule deer habitat and we glassed it a little bit. In retrospect we should have glassed that basin a lot harder since it was one of the better looking areas. We heard an elk mew and break some branches in the burn below the lake but never saw it. After hiking back we set up camp and spent a lazy afternoon in the shade around camp until it was time to glass The Bowl. As good as it looked we saw nothing that evening and returned to camp to eat dinner and go to bed.
19 September
We woke up at 0615 and glassed he Bowl again. It was very smoky and we really couldn't see very far. At about 0745 we heard what sounded like a cow and a young bull . The bull was making half-ass attempts at bugling but didn't quite get a real bugle out. At 0830 I left my brother on the vantage and worked my way around the timber we heard the elk in, hoping to drive the elk into The Bowl where he could get a shot. I didn't work and nothing came out of the timber. I the end The Bowl didn't produce a single animal sighting even though it looked like the best habitat on the mountain. We think that the high temperatures during the day was keeping the elk timbered up and not rutting in the open like they normally do. We couldn't figure out why they weren't bugling at all, not even at night.
After glassing my brother took another nap. When he woke up we packed up camp and hiked to the a new pass. This was the lowest point emotionally of the hunt for me. I had high hopes for this particular area, but when we arrived the smoke was too thick to glass it and there was no sign anywhere in the area, not even a track. It was very depressing.
We were basically out of options. We were too wore out to hike back into the areas we had already hunted and the smoke was so thick we weren't able to glass the areas we thought might be good. To top it off there was no flat ground in the area to set up camp without the danger of a burned pine tree falling on us. My brother's ankle was starting to bother him and he commented that if we stayed to hunt he would have to stay in camp instead of risking rolling his ankle in the deadfall. All this added up to our decision to pack out 2 days early. I hated the decision, but considering our position it made sense to cut our losses and pack out.
The rest of the hike down was gorgeous, taking us through steep slopes covered in red an yellow brush and young new growth pines. We were hurting pretty badly however. My left knee was swollen badly from the steep decent and my brother was flat out smoked. We decided we had better push through to the airstrip because if I stopped my knee would be so swollen by morning it wouldn't allow me to hike out the next day. So we stumbled along once again and finally reached the airstrip right at dark. All told we hiked over 7 miles through the mountains that day. Chad went straight to bed without eating dinner and I struggled to stay awake and eat. After dinner I loaded up on painkillers and went to sleep.
20 September
Pushing through turned out to be the best decision because by morning my knee was swollen like a grapefruit and I could hardly put any weight on it. We packed up camp and I sent the non-emergency help message from my SPOT satellite messenger, which McCall Aviation knew meant we wanted to be picked up. After the message went out, I limped down to the Ranger Station and talked to the Ranger on duty. He confirmed that McCall Aviation had gotten our message. After describing our hunt to him, he deemed us crazy and commented that he couldn't get horses up the ridge we climbed the first day and would have trouble covering the amount of ground as quickly as we did the last day on horseback! I guess we were doing alright getting around the mountain after all, although we only had the pains and aches to show for it. The Cessna 172 showed up at 1100 and landed even though the smoke was too thick for real VFR flying. That was a testament to the skills of the backcountry pilots. He picked us up and flew in small circles over a drainage that he knew had room in order to gain enough altitude to get out of the wilderness. Once back in McCall we showered up and started driving to Idaho Falls.
The hunt was officially over and we had five unfilled tags in our pockets. The weather was just too warm for good hunting and I think the wolves and winters had taken their toll on the game in the wilderness. We had fun and worked hard and came away with memories that will always be with us, and that makes it a successful hunt.

The Alabama Senate has approved legislation that sets up a new pension system for public employees
hired on Jan. 1, 2013, and thereafter.
The Senate voted 25-8 for the bill by Republican Sen. Arthur Orr of Decatur. The bill still must pass the House and be signed by the governor to take effect.
Orr said the bill is designed to save $5 billion over the next 30 years by requiring new hires to wait until 62 before drawing a state pension. Current state employees can retire with full benefits after 25 years of service, regardless of their age.
The bill also requires future public employees to pay less of their salary into the state pension system, but their retirement check will also be smaller.

WASHINGTON (WUSA9) -- He is one of the last people to see Boston bombing suspect Tamarlan Tsarnaev alive, and he's now telling his story of how the two brothers carjacked him the night before younger brother Dzokhar was taken into custody.
This 26-year-old Chinese entrepreneur told his story to Boston Globe reporter Eric Moskowitz, under the condition he is only referred to by his American nickname, Danny.
The story starts off with Danny pulling over his Mercedes on a Boston street to answer a text. Moskowitz says, "They pull up immediately behind him, the older brother gets out, wraps on the window. Tamerlan sticks his hand in the window, opens it, and pulls a gun on him."
What follows is a 90 minute wild carjacking ride. Tamarlan warns Danny, "Don't be stupid." He asks the Danny if he heard about the Boston Marathon bombings. When Danny says yes, Tamarlan confides, "I did that. And I just killed a policeman in Cambridge."
Moskowitz explains, "Partly they're driving with him, the other brother is following behind, they consolidate what Danny thinks is luggage, but it's the bombs from their car to his car and they drive around for 90 minutes constantly threatening him."
At one point, Tamarlan drives, Danny sits in the passenger seat, and Dzokhar rides in the back. Moskowitz says Danny told him the three talk about ordinary things, girls, cars, and iPhones, amidst the extraordinary context. Danny overhears the two talk about Manhattan.
At one point, Danny's roommate texts him, and Tamarlan, using an English to Chinese app, texts back "I'm sick, I'm not coming home tonight, I'm with a friend." It must have sounded suspicious.
Moskowitz picks up the story again, "There's another text, then a call, they don't answer it, there's silence in Danny's car, they call again, Tamerlan says 'you answer it, if you say a word in Chinese....I'll kill you."
The whole time, Danny, a trained engineer, is methodically making mental notes, and planning an escape. Two things combine to create the perfect window: a low gas tank and a "cash only" policy at a nearby Shell station.
Moskowitz explains, "The younger brother has to go in to pay with cash. That leaves Danny alone with Tamarlan. Think about it, Tamarlan has been on the run all day, he's killed an MIT police officer five hours earlier, he puts his guard down for a second and puts the gun in the driver's side pocket of Danny's SUV, and he's got both hands fiddling with the GPS and Danny realizes if I get out, now is the chance."
Danny tells Moskowitz he rehearsed it in his head then, unbuckled the seat belt with one hand, while opening the door with the other. It took one moment for Tamarlan to realize what was happening. Moskowitz says, "He tries to reach for him, can't get him, hears him curse, sprints across the street to safety at another gas station, calls 9-1-1."

What is the fastest pin you've ever seen? I just saw a 4 second pin by Bret Johnson from Roland-Story.
My brother got pinned from being both up with 3 seconds left in the district finals his junior year.
He had a 4 point lead.
I'm not even sure that the ref can call that in good faith, but it was a choke job that would make Shaggy proud.
In 1984, I was hospitalized for approaching perfection.
in 8th grade a dude put me in a firemans carry about 10 seconds in and pinned me about 10 secs after that.
yeah ... I quit after that.
I saw a 5 second one. Double leg, back, over. It was impressive.
This is very important:
2014-15 KenPom AdjO (rating)
116.3 (11)
2015-16 KenPom AdjO (rating
120.7 (3)
4 second one..David Hildreth RC-L.
I went out for wrestling in 6th grade. Only went out b/c all of my cousins were successful wrestlers. I never scored a point in practice and if i recall correctly I was pinned every time.....usually very quickly too. Quit after a couple weeks and went out for basketball. That was a good move for me.

P who did he pin?

Some kid from cmb. It was for his 100th win so it made it even better. Kid didn't even know what hit him.
My fastest pin was 10 seconds, tripped him and he fell on his back. I jumped on him, smashed my nuts on his knee, pinned him and then rolled over holding my nuts.
Our team always had a pool for whoever got the fasted pin and the fish award for who ever got pinned the fastest.
I pinned a girl in 4 seconds my sophomore year of high school at 103. It felt fantastic.
I read somewhere 4 seconds is the fastest a pin can ever happen. I got pinned in 8 seconds once, which was pretty humiliating.
Chris Taylor from ISU, can not remember the school but the kid was a Canadian champion. Whistle blew the guy charged Chris he, fell backward, bear hugged the guy and rolled him over on his back for the pin.
In JV wrestling I pinned a guy in 7 seconds. He must have sucked cause I wasn't any good.
TwoNine Brand
I pinned a kid in 17 seconds in 7th grade. Later that day bought a brand new skateboard and quickly broke my arm falling off of it going down a hill.
I am sure there are faster, but that is the fastest I have seen.
This post is pending approval of site sponsors.
My buddy Jason is in the record books with like a 9 or 10 second pin in the state tourney in '93. He had just lost to the same guy for the 4 year in a row came out for wrestle backs and looked really angry. Grabbed the kid and threw him on his back.
Fight with Might!

The 1969 Chevy Crate Camaro Gets its Handling HardwareWritten by on April 14, 2006 Contributors: Glen Grissom, Detroit Speed The biggest deviation from using stock parts on the Crate Camaro was in the suspension, where Detroit Speed Parts make it handle better than any original '69 Camaro could.
Call it our single concession to Pro Touring, but we wanted to be able to drive HOT ROD 1 hard in more than just a straight line. Even with a heavy Rat motor over the nose, we have a few ideas about putting this car to use in at least one open track event (though lack of a 'cage may prove to be a problem), so we knew the suspension would need much more than just stock replacement parts. And when it comes to early Camaro handling, one of the companies that has made a big splash with the Pro Touring crowd is Detroit Speed & Engineering (DSE).
Kyle and Stacy Tucker's suspension company, which caters primarily to early Camaros, recently moved from The Motor City to the woods of Mooresville, North Carolina, home to more than a few qualified Nextel Cup-level fabricators. It's been steadily cranking out even more well-engineered parts for early GM musclecars, and it has complete systems to make an early Camaro outrun a Corvette in the twisties. Its parts were a natural for HOT ROD 1, and it certainly didn't hurt that they were right down the road from CARS.
For the front, we used DSE's Speed Kit 3 (PN 031303), which features tubular upper and lower control arms, a coilover conversion kit (with Koni aluminum-body shocks), a sway bar, a steering gear, tie-rod adjusters, and inner and outer tie rod ends and idler arm. This is the full-boogie deal for the front suspension on early Camaros with a stock subframe, and it sells for $3,250. If that's too steep to spend all at once, you can buy everything separately. The main advantages of the full system are the adjustability of the coilovers; the geometry built into the upper control arms, which increases camber gain and improves roll camber; and the precise steering offered by the brand-new, blueprinted steering gear.
We wanted to fit the fattest meats we could out back, so we had CARS install DSE's 2-inch-drop rear minitub kit (PN 041205). This replaces the inner wheeltubs and moves the leaf springs inboard for an extra 3 inches of tire clearance, allowing you to stuff 335mm tires on 13-inch-wide wheels under the car. DSE also provided the narrowed stainless steel fuel tank (we used PN 080106) required due to the relocated springs. Finally, tying the front and rear together are a set of DSE weld-in, through-the-floor subframe connectors (PN 010101) that stiffen the convertible up considerably.
More Photos From This Article View Slideshow
The DSE front coilover conversion kit requires cutting off the upper-control-arm mounts from the stock subframe.DSE provides a fixture for the engine-mount holes in the subframe that properly locates the new upper-control-arm and coilover mounts. Here, the mounts are positioned and marked.A torch or plasma cutter removes the upper spring mount and cuts a slot for the new arm/shock mount.The body mounts (shown here in the "dry build" of the car) are DSE's 11/42-inch-drop mounts made of hardcoated billet aluminum. You can also get them in stock height.DSE minitubs provide three more inches of tire clearance so you can stuff up to 335mm-wide rubber under the car.Mocked up but unpainted, this is the complete DSE upper-control-arm and coilover mount. The lower control arms are also DSE tubular pieces.
Part of the clearance also comes via narrowing the rear framerails. Templates are provided to make accurate cuts.The inner-quarter-panel sheetmetal and convertible-top frame mount also need to be welded to the new DSE tubs.The leaf springs are also moved inboard, which means the shocks have to move too. This sheetmetal panel, also a part of the DSE kit, provides for the upper shock mounts.DSE also has trick adjustable leaf-spring pads that slip over the axletube (a Moser 12-bolt in this case) and allow you to set pinion angle. Once set, they should be welded in place.The leaf springs mean the gas tank has to be narrowed. You can do it to a stock tank (careful!) but the easier and tricker way is to use DSE's stainless steel bolt-in tank, available for carbureted and in-tank-pump EFI applications.
(above & below left) Subframe connectors are a good idea on a convertible, especially one you plan on making handle. DSE's are pretty easy to install and come with templates for the floorpan surgery.The connectors include these brackets (which need some trimming and welding) to attach to the front subframe.

Journalism & humility
Media | The two rarely go together anymore, but by following the Bible a Christian journalist can aspire to be a humble truth teller. Other current options-subjectivity-balancing or ideological commitment-leave reporters standing on shifting sand
"Do nothing from rivalry or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others. Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, who, though He was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but made Himself nothing, taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men" (Philippians 2:3-7).
Put the two words "journalistic humility" into the Lexis-Nexis electronic retrieval system. Ask for all articles over the past year that include the term. Here's the reply message: "No documents were found for your search. You should edit your search and try again."
A generation or two ago the reportorial ethic came as close to emphasizing humility as it ever has. A California friend of mine remembers that at The Orange County Register she enjoyed being "a fly on the wall," listening to a variety of views and then presenting them fairly rather than imposing or even insinuating her own. Columnists (like liberal Supreme Court justices) could flaunt their opinions, but reporters were to be strict constructors of stories and avoid legislating from their notepads.
This was journalism still based on statements of faith such as "The Journalist's Creed," written by Walter Williams, Dean of the University of Missouri's Journalism School from 1908 to 1935. The creed states that "the public journal is a public trust; that all connected with it are, to the full measure of their responsibility, trustees for the public." Williams called for reporting that "fears God and honors man . . . self-controlled, patient, always respectful of its readers."
How many reporters followed that creed, let alone the Apostles' Creed, is hard to tell. Movies throughout the 20th century tended to emphasize journalistic cynicism and rudeness, but some reporters-particularly Christians like McCandlish Phillips of The New York Times-saw themselves as public servants, not puppet masters.
The chasm between modern mainstream media and Christianity now seems immense. Last month Mark McGuire of the Albany Times Union wrote that the gorge was inevitable because of "the conflict between religious faith and journalistic skepticism." He offered the hoary journalistic joke, "If your mother says she loves you, check it out." He concluded that reporters can't take anything on faith, while Christianity is built on faith, so never the twain shall meet.
That analysis is provocative but flawed for one main reason: A major theme of the Bible is its repeated declaration that If your heavenly Father says He loves you, check it out. Why else would Luke stress at the beginning of his Gospel that he relied on eyewitnesses, that he had "followed all things closely for some time," and that his goal was to offer the recipient of his letter, Theophilus, "certainty concerning the things you have been taught"?
Why else are we instructed in Psalm 107 to "give thanks to the Lord, for He is good"? The psalm explains how God delivered from distress those who "wandered in desert wastes," those who "sat in darkness and in the shadow of death," those who "went down to the sea in ships" and, amid storms, "reeled and staggered like drunken men." The psalm gives the experience of deliverance that millions have had, and concludes, "Whoever is wise, let him attend to these things."
That appeal not for blind faith but for attending to the lessons of experience emerges throughout the Bible. For example, we can continue thumbing through Psalms and note 116:1, "I love the Lord, because He has heard my voice and my pleas for mercy." Or Psalm 118:5,"Out of my distress I called on the Lord; the Lord answered me and set me free." Or Psalm 119:65, "You have dealt well with Your servant, O Lord, according to Your word."
The Bible also offers the evidence from Israel's history to explain why we should have faith in God. In Joshua 24:7 God tells the Israelites, "Your eyes saw what I did in Egypt." In Acts 7:36 Stephen tells of how Moses showed God's power by "performing wonders and signs" not only in Egypt but "at the Red Sea and in the wilderness for 40 years."
Yet, what of the famous words in John 20:28? Jesus asked the apostle who became known as Doubting Thomas, "Have you believed because you have seen Me? Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed." Those sentences are sometimes taken, out of context, as signifying that faith and evidence are opposed.
The context is important. The other 11 disciples have told Thomas, "We have seen the Lord." Thomas was doubtful because he did not trust the eyewitness evidence that others provided, and it's in this sense that those who believe without seeing for themselves are blessed: They are not so self-centered or solipsistic that they refuse to accept the testimony of anyone other than themselves.
Journalists also must rely heavily on what others say-and what reporter will not go to press when 10 people say the same thing, even if he has not seen it himself? Doubting Thomas, despite the name, is not a model for journalists: He's the model for a reporter who will always be scooped.
I could go on, but it's evident that the Bible does not favor blind faith. Instead, the Bible regularly appeals to personal experience, just as journalists do. The canyon between Christianity and today's mainstream journalism is large, but it does not have an evidentiary river running through it.
What, then, is the central difference? I'd suggest that the real difference is humility, and the real problem journalism faces is arrogance. That's particularly worth contemplating at Christmastime because we're celebrating the ultimate in humility, God lowering Himself to man's level so as to free us and fit us for life with Him.
Journalism as a religion
What happened to the fly-on-the-wall, humble journalism that did exist in some newsrooms (and may still be present at some smaller newspapers)? Several realizations and trends undermined it. One was that journalists often were not present when key events occurred, and they often could not be flies on the walls in the closed rooms within which decisions were made. Reporters thus had to rely on what doubting Thomas found inadequate: eyewitness reports and the testimony of others.
One difference, though, is that the eyewitnesses doubted by Thomas had a unanimous testimony, but reporters today garner conflicting descriptions and interpretations. Journalists need investigative time to cut through the chatter and find out what the fly would have seen and heard. That takes brains, heart, and time. The lazy or rushed way out, which over time became the norm, has been to quote person A's and person B's account of what transpired, balancing various subjective views in the oft-vain hope that objective truth would emerge.
Meanwhile, 20th-century intellectual trends were undercutting the philosophical foundation on which journalistic objectivity was based, so that by century's end professors would regularly house the words "objective truth" within ironic quotation marks. That started in the 1920s, when Freudianism swept into American colleges and suggested that we might think and act as we do because of childhood events of which our conscious minds are unaware. In the 1930s Marxism became hot, and with it came the notion that what we believe to be objectively real depends on our class background.
By the 1950s and 1960s existentialists were putting subjectivity on a pedestal, and what was called "The New Journalism" emerged, filled with idiosyncratic ways of seeing and writing that in the hands of a few led to brilliant prose, but in the typewriters of most ended up in self-indulgent self-celebration that was as far from humility as Tom Wolfe was from the literary sheep who tried to follow his example.
Toward the end of the century postmodernism was attacking the sense that objective reality even exists. In the face of such con-fusion the confidence that a journalist could be objective gave way to expressions of defeat, even despair. Two months ago Doug McGill, who worked on The New York Times and other publications for 27 years and has now gone independent, wrote in an essay titled The Fading Mystique of an Objective Press, "It's a matter of routine that reporters feel or know they are being lied to. Yet they take the quotes and pass them on, unchallenged. And they rationalize this essentially corrupt practice."
"Corrupt" is a strong word, but that's what many journalists think of the reporting practice originally intended to yield humility. Other journalists are merely confused. Mr. McGill writes, "We think of objectivity as meaning neutral. But also balanced. Impartial. Nonpartisan. Accurate. Verified. Fair. Factual. Unemotional. Detached. Scientific. Reasoned. Unbiased. Each of these definitions implies a very different essential quality or ideal, any two of which may be mutually exclusive. For example, a news report could be factual but unbalanced; or accurate but biased; or neutral but also unfair."
With all these dueling definitions, publications and sometimes individual reporters pick and choose which to use at any specific time. Pity the reporter who decides to be neutral about cancer or the Holocaust, and searches for someone who considers cancer a good thing or says the Holocaust never happened. On most newspapers reporters also avoid neutrality regarding individuals the newsroom sees as social cancer, such as Christians who criticize abortion or homosexuality.
Before 1960 newspapers typically portrayed abortion as evil. For a brief period during the 1960s they offered "balanced" abortion coverage; then they typically became pro-abortion. Press coverage of homosexuality (once considered deviant behavior) changed rapidly in the 1980s, with journalists both before and after calling their reporting objective. Should positive coverage of something the Bible views as wrong be called "objective"? Should even neutral stories about clearly sinful activity receive that label? Is "objectivity" based on shifting social mores a house built on sand?
It's easy to raise more questions of this sort, but-regardless of the theoretical issues-current practice makes one big change apparent: Mainstream journalists generally consider "fly on the wall" humility less important than nailing to the wall the hides of those considered reactionary. In that sense American journalism is slowly becoming European, with newspapers revealing a clear ideological base.
I saw the beginnings of this firsthand while serving my journalistic apprenticeship at the Boston Globe in 1970-1971 and in 1973, at a time when The Globe was transitioning from a reporting staff of sometimes cynical but often humble old-timers to a brigade of liberal or radical Ivy Leaguers. By 1973 I was a hardcore Marxist full of myself, and had no trouble getting into the Globe stories that insinuated my views of class warfare and capitalistic corruption. News and feature editors encouraged me, as long as my doctrines were not so explicit as to scare typical subscribers.
"Humility" would not have described me or my fellow new Globe reporters. They and I still insisted publicly that we were "objective," but privately we agreed that we would give all sides what we felt they deserved, with we the reporters serving as judges and sometimes executioners. I was witnessing the beginnings of what Jay Rosen wrote about early this year in an aptly titled article published by New York University, "Journalism is itself a religion."
Mr. Rosen describes "the priesthood of the journalism profession in the United States, especially those at top news organizations in New York and Washington." He raises good questions: "How does this elite group create and maintain its authority over what counts as serious journalism? . . . What are the god terms and faith objects in journalism, and how are they derived? . . . What lessons do journalists at the top of the pyramid preach to others in the news tribe?"
Mr. Rosen describes the "high church in journalism, with high ceremonies, like the awarding of a Pulitzer Prize," and quotes Bill Moyers's praise of the Columbia University School of Journalism and the Columbia Journalism Review: "I think of CJR and the J-School as sort of the 'high church' of our craft, reminding us of the better angels of our nature and the demons, powers and principalities of power against which journalism is always wrestling."
Demons? Former New York journalist William Proctor points out that New York Times editors condemn "the sin of religious certainty" yet have their own "set of absolute truths. [Editors are] absolutely sure that the religious groups they consider intolerant and judgmental are absolutely wrong, especially traditional Roman Catholics, evangelicals, and most Orthodox Jews. And they are just as convinced that the religious groups that they consider tolerant and progressive are absolutely right."
I saw the beginnings of the dramatic journalistic surge to the left; Mr. Rosen and Mr. Proctor are seeing the culmination. The humility of the golden age, even if the problems of that kind of journalism are overlooked, is long gone. The question before us seems to be: Do we hold onto the shreds of "objectivity," or do we embrace the reign of subjectivity that many journalists demand?
If we do, given the tilt of today's mainstream media, will we be stuck with newspapers pushing leftist solutions, with talk radio and some blogs counterattacking from the right (and doing not much better at basing opinion on evidence)? In the process, what will happen to humility?
I don't see the European model of ideological newspapers, often tied to political parties, as an improvement. That system tends to turn journalists into propagandists who must follow the party line. It also doesn't bring us any closer to the goal of humility, unless it's humility before political leaders or empowered ideologues. Given a choice between the ideological model and the traditional American model, I'd buy American-but is there a better way?
Robert Bartley, the late Wall Street Journal editor, wrote last year, "I think we're coming to the end of the era of 'objectivity' that has dominated journalism over this time. We need to define a new ethic that lends legitimacy to opinion, honestly disclosed and disciplined by some sense of propriety."
For Christians, what might that ethic be?
Sola Scriptura vs. "legantians"
The humility of the "fly on the wall" approach represents a terrific ideal-but concepts of objectivity can be criticized both from secular perspectives and, at a far deeper level, from a biblical orientation. The biblical question is: Given man's fallen nature and limited natural ability to apprehend reality accurately, can we-apart from God's grace-truly be objective? Do claims that we can be exhibit a lack of humility?
Medieval teaching about natural law and Reformation teaching about common grace tell us that we can go part of the way to apprehending reality. Both doctrines have a biblical base in Psalm 19 (and much besides): "The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims His handiwork. Day to day pours out speech, and night to night reveals knowledge."
But once the glory of God is revealed by the heavens and by His coming to earth as a baby, what then? How do we glorify Him by helping more people to see God's holiness, revealed most clearly through His compassionate communication to us, the Bible? How do we show the world that we value God's counsel highly enough to live by it, even when it hurts, and to interpret the world in accordance with it?
To me a crucial phrase for developing intellectual humility is sola scriptura, Latin for "the Bible only." The phrase first became widely disseminated during the Reformation, when Martin Luther, John Calvin, and others insisted that ordinary folks could read and apprehend the Bible. They taught that the Bible is perspicacious, "see-throughable," which means that with careful Bible study almost all of it is clearly comprehensible.
They and others also explained the steps involved in careful Bible study. It's important to ask about any Bible passage, "What does it say?" and then, "What does it mean?" In other words, we are to look first at what the passage itself says, and then examine the context and the way it fits with or against other passages, because Scripture (unlike, say, the Talmud) does not ultimately argue with itself. A key principle in the sola scriptura search for meaning is that Scripture interprets Scripture, which means that we use clearer passages to interpret murky ones, and that we don't rest key doctrines on obscure passages or play "here a verse, there a verse."
Furthermore, since the Bible is primarily a true story of how God saves sinners, we do not treat it like a textbook: We distinguish between descriptive and prescriptive passages and acknowledge that in some areas, even after conscientious study, we still see through a glass darkly. Helps in this process include creeds of the early church and confessions developed by later church leaders who did careful biblical study along sola scriptura principles (for example, the Westminster and Heidelberg Confessions of Faith). Those creeds and confessions must always be checked against Scripture, but they still allow a third question-"How has the church applied a passage?"-to follow up the "What does it say?" and "What does it mean?" questions.
Sola scriptura, applied properly, helps us neither to overuse or underuse the Bible. If we overuse it by saying that the Bible says certain things that it does not say, we feed our human tendency to make up rules that purportedly will help us save ourselves, or at least allow us to think ourselves better than others. That error feeds into many others, including the legalism that has pushed many Christian students I've taught into animosity toward denominations of their youth.
On the other hand, if we turn areas where the Bible is clear into matters of personal interpretation, we fall into antinomianism, the belief (particularly familiar today) that we make up our own rules. Just as legalism is a plague among some conservative Christians, antinomianism is rampant among some liberal Christians.
And just as government-managed economies can fall into stagflation, a worst-of-both-worlds combination of stagnation plus inflation, some folks-call them legantians?-combine legalism and antinomianism. They demand particular moral rules that the Bible does not, but also say that it's improper to state the biblical view of abortion or homosexuality because some Christians might read the scriptural admonitions differently. They say, "I read the Bible and decide what it says for me. No one has the right to tell me I'm wrong, and I don't have the right to tell someone else-it's between him and God."
That's not sola scriptura: that's sola Dick or Jane or Marvin. If we accept the premise that the Bible does not have an objective meaning beyond what individuals may read into it, we cannot proclaim God's glory in a way that consistently communicates His teaching. But if we do understand the sola scriptura principle, we have a way to bring humility back into journalism.
Biblical objectivity
The "fly on the wall" school of humility emphasized the role of the journalist in giving the opinions of others rather than presenting his own. What WORLD calls "biblical objectivity" attempts to do the same: Biblical objectivity's goal is to proclaim God's opinion, as clearly communicated in Scripture, rather than our own subjective preferences.
In theory, if we value the sola scriptura principle with its emphasis on scriptural clarity concerning essential matters, biblical objectivity makes sense and other approaches have logical flaws. After all, if the Bible is God's Word, can any other words trump His? Since only God knows the true, objective nature of things, doesn't His book, the Bible, present the only completely objective and accurate view of the world? Shouldn't our goal be to see the world as much in biblical terms as our fallen and sinful natures allow?
That understanding underlies WORLD's mission statement: "To report, interpret, and illustrate the news in a timely, accurate, enjoyable, and arresting fashion from a perspective committed to the Bible as the inerrant Word of God." We know that, given our human limitations, along with our fallenness and sinfulness, we can never achieve that perspective-but by following the Bible's teachings we try to come closer than we otherwise would, showing humility before God.
That's what we mean by biblical objectivity. We don't merely cover all the sound and fury in the world, and then present people's lives as tales told by idiots, signifying nothing. Nor do we cover only the good and uplifting parts of life so as to provide sugary stories. Biblical objectivity emphasizes, like Stephen's historical speech in Acts 7, God's holiness and man's sinfulness. WORLD stories over a typical month try to show how terrible man is, yet how wonderful, created in God's image. Our articles, we hope, accurately describe the world God has made and reflect His view of how His creatures mess up and sometimes get things right.
In practice, the pursuit of biblical objectivity is filled with hazards. If we merely take our own opinions and ascribe them to God, we are moving not toward humility but toward extreme arrogance. At WORLD we have a regular process that we hope helps us avoid that: We classify issues that arise using a shorthand derived from classification of whitewater rapids, which are rated on a scale of one to six. (A class one rapids is easy, a class six potentially fatal.)
A class one issue is one-say, adultery or homosexuality-on which the Bible takes an explicit position, so we do too. A class two involves an implicit biblical position-for example, the importance of God-centered education-so we know we're reflecting God's opinion, not our own, when we call for that. Certainty decreases, though, as we move through classes three, four, and five, so on such issues we are increasingly laid back, until by the time we arrive at a class six issue we are likely to report multiple sides without indicating a biblical preference. (This and other methodological aspects are explained more in Telling the Truth, available at www.worldmag.com/world/olasky /truth1.html. For more on the history of objectivity and biblical alternatives, see chapters 4, 10, and 11 of Prodigal Press, available at www.worldmag.com/world/olasky/Prodigal/index.html.)
Our goal of journalistic humility also pushes us to admit errors rapidly and work on ways to decrease them. When we goof we print corrections or let our readers take us to the woodshed, and we don't talk back. We print in our Mailbag pro and con letters in about the ratio we receive them. We read all the letters sent to us.
We try to think through techniques to make what we do transparent. For example, we try to avoid journalistic ventriloquism, where a reporter instead of honestly presenting his own view picks an expert interviewee to say it for him. We also try to avoid sourcery, where unnamed sources spin the news their way. If we use an unnamed source, we explain why we're doing that.
At the same time, our hope is to continue to hit hard on issues concerning which the Bible is clear. Good journalism emphasizes truth-telling, even when it hurts, and our goal is to tell the whole truth of how the heavens declare the glory of God but the streets proclaim the sinfulness of man. We don't grasp God's full glory in condescending to save us unless we understand how sinful those streets are. We thank God for His tender mercies, and plan to report in 2005 both mercy and sin.
We know that we'll always fall short. Everyone on our staff needs both character (a commitment to hard work, honest treatment of allies and opponents, and humility) and the biblical worldview needed to apprehend reality accurately. That's a tall order, and we are but small creatures in a great big world, singing with our readers, "Veiled in flesh the Godhead see; hail th'incarnate Deity, pleased as man with men to dwell, Jesus, our Emmanuel. Hark the herald angels sing, 'Glory to the newborn King.'"

I use zimbra 7.2. When I added another email account everything was correct. When I however wrote a message from my newly added account the sent email appeared in the Sent items of the primary account.
Is it possible to configure email accounts so that they behave separatelly? Eg. when I click on my newly added acount I would write a message with the identification of this account not the primary. Sent messages would go to the account which I would write from. Now everything goes to my primary accounts except received messages.
