Culmination in Columbus for Street Machine Of The YearWritten on November 16, 2004 Top builders square off for the Popular Hot Rodding Street Machine Of The Yearat the Goodguys PPG Nationals
Goodguys Rod & Custom Association has been hosting fantastic automotive events all over the country since 1983, but their premiere event (at least in our mind) is the PPG Nationals. Held in early-July at the Ohio Expo Center in Columbus, this event draws thousands of the best hot rods, customs, classics and pre-'73 street machines.
This year's event was no exception, as top builders from around the country brought their latest projects and squared off for top honors in a variety of categories. This is the kind of place where a talented builder can emerge from the shadows of the industry and make a name for himself (or in the case of guys like Boyd and Troy, have their identities shortened to just their first name). This is a weekend where cutting-edge style is showcased and new trends emerge.
Immaculate paint jobs are commonplace, attention to detail is meticulous and amazing craftsmanship is found in spades. Dozens of awards are handed out in a broad expanse of categories, but the key for being in contention for PHR's Street Machine of the Year (SMOY) honors is to combine all of those elements in the same vehicle--a challenge few are able to meet.
Entering a vehicle from the General Motors lineup might seem like a good starting point, considering GM models have clearly been dominant in recent years. Chevys have brought home top honors the last five years in a row, while GM models have comprised a whopping 88 percent of the finalists during that same stretch, including 2000 and 2001 when all five finalists were from the General's Army.
Judges in recent years have shown a particular soft spot for tri-5 Chevys and first-gen Camaros (there were certainly plenty to choose from again this year). That might make them the odds-on favorites, but one could also argue that the past success of a particular model could make it more difficult to create new standout examples. That theory would suggest anyone entering a '69 Camaro wouldn't just be judged against other cars in the field, but every other notable '69 Camaro built in recent memory.
The SMOY tends to take center stage at Columbus along with Street Rodder Magazine's Street Rod of the Year, but the scope of the 6,057 other cars in attendance at Columbus reaches far beyond those two build styles. Check out some of the action from this year's event and mark your calendar for 2005, as this is one show you won't want to miss! Did the SMOY continue its historic preference for GM iron or would new contenders emerge? Read on for all the juicy details.

Art Morrison's '55 Chevy was clearly up to the challenge for SMOY and found its way into one of the finalist positions. Morrison's shoebox had already proven its performance capabilities in a series of Super Chevy articles that included testing numbers of 0-60 in 4.3 seconds, 12.61 at 117 mph in the quarter mile and .94 gs on the skidpad. The 500-horsepower Bill Mitchell engine and Keisler T-56 combination also proved reliable on a 1,200-mile roadtrip down the West Coast. All cleaned up and dressed in a new coat of paint for the Columbus show, Morrison's '55 proved it could show as well as it could go.In a surprising turn of events, only one other GM model managed to make it into the group of five finalists and that was the '56 Corvette owned by Jack Barnett of Apollo Beach, Florida. Barnett's 'Vette managed to blur the line hot rodders attempt to draw between customs and street machines with his tricked-out '56. Like many of the top cars being built today, the classic body lines hide a modern drivetrain, in this case, an LS1 engine and 4L60E transmission. More than 100 different body modifications were executed to perfection, from subtle shaving and lengthening of the nose to a remote-actuated hood and trunk.Barnett's 'Vette was built at Time Machines in Hudson, Florida, which also crafted this Viper-powered '70 Cuda. The 'Cuda made a bold statement, becoming the first Mopar to make it into the group of five since the SMOY moved to Columbus. The idea behind this creation was based in part on the necessity of finding a car big enough to accommodate the 6'8" frame of Time Machines owner, Mike Staveski. During the course of the build, Staveski's crew installed a Paxton supercharger on the already potent V10, which now generates 650 horsepower and 650 lb.-ft. of torque. Staveski has a personal stash of five other 'Cuda convertibles and the response to this car has been so strong, that he is already finalizing plans to build two similar cars for customers.The blue oval crowd was well-represented by the latest creation coming from Kevin King's garage at Year One headquarters in Braselton, Georgia. King's '66 Mustang proved without a doubt that top-shelf Street Machines are not the sole domain of GM platforms. King's capable crew of craftsmen transformed this fastback into a modern performance machine by dropping in a supercharged version of Ford's current 4.6 DOHC V8, which they linked to the same T56 transmission found in new Cobras. As with all the finalists, the fit and finish on this car was spectacular, especially considering it had just come off the Power Tour long haul.When the judges' votes were tallied, it was Kathy Lange's '57 T-bird that came out on top. All weekend long, streams of people looked over the car, trying to figure out why it looked so much better than any other '57 T-bird they'd ever seen. Kathy and her husband, George are quick to praise the work of builder Bobby Alloway in creating this motoring masterpiece. Alloway smoothed the body in all the right places while grafting rear quarter panels from a '55 Nomad and dropping the headlights down an inch and a half. Much of the classic look and feel of the original interior was retained, but red leather now covers many of the surfaces and custom Alloway gauges monitor all the vitals of the blown 302 tucked under the hood. A Thunderbird might have seemed like a long shot coming into the weekend, but once everyone laid eyes on this machine, it was hard to question it's worthiness as the 2004 Street Machine of the Year.The gasser movement is alive and well, even if the condition of some of the cars might indicate otherwise. Countless hours were probably spent selecting the right combination of primers to complete the rat rod look on this example.In addition to a massive swap meet area, Goodguys provided an excellent setting for hundreds of car owners looking to make a sale. One such example was this '62 Ford Falcon Country Squire Wagon owned by Dwayne King of Sod, West Virginia. King's lowered wagon has a full Air Ride suspension system, 17-inch Mustang Bullit wheels on all four corners and a healthy 302 under the hood.
Editor Hunkins was all smiles after scoring a free hat from the Holley display. Now we just need to find someone to hook him up with a decent pair of shades.It's not very often that we come across one clean Ford Maverick. Finding two super-clean examples parked next to each other may not happen anywhere else in the country outside of a Maverick Comet Club Round-Up.We love the variety of cars found at Columbus and a perfect example is this 1961 Olds 88 owned by Leon Hallman of Northpoint, Alabama. Leon's Olds is powered by a Sky Rocket 394 with a hydra-matic tranny.A trip to Columbus can force people to re-think their opinions on virtually any car. We've always liked wagons, but never gave much thought to the 70s-era Buick wagons until we saw this smooth, two-tone '72 Buick Century owned by Vince Davin of Pittsburgh. As the prices of Nomads and Ranch Wagons continue to rise and replacement parts become scarce, we expect we'll see more people turning to wagons of this vintage as an alternative.Mitch Stilger's two-tone '62 Impala led a parade of award winners on Sunday. The Louisville resident's Impy picked up a Custom Rodder Top 10 award during the weekend.Roger Ritzow's Roadster staked out a spot in front of the eBay Motors trailer early in the weekend, but was quickly re-located to the Pro's Picks area. What at first glance appears to be a clean, but ordinary '32 Roadster covered in WWII-era Glasurit Grey Green paint is actually an incredibly-detailed creation by renown builder, Troy Trepanier. Troy's latest masterpiece topped one of the deepest fields of Street Rods we've ever seen and took home the Goodguys Street Rod of the Year honors.There isn't much room for passengers in David Hearman's '65 Corvair convertible now that a 355 cubic-inch small block is sitting in the backseat.Once the dust settled on Saturday night and the finalists and winners are announced, the top finishers headed back to the Pro's Picks area on Sunday and lined up side by side for the masses to inspect.Rob Gerring was all smiles on Sunday, as his '50 Chevy was also a Custom Rodder Top 10 award recipient and he got the girl! Gerring's radical custom has been picking up awards at every show he's entered, including the prestigious Alexander Brothers award at the Detroit Autorama. One question remains for us--Is the rotary phone on the center console functional?
Crowds looking for the abridged version of the PPG Nationals headed straight for the Pro's Picks area on Saturday, where all the top contenders for the weekend assembled to give the judges a comparative look.We weren't going to include this picture, because we lost this young lady's name, but Hunkins threw a fit. We can tell you that she is from the Columbus area and when we asked her what her choice for Street Machine of the Year was, she led us over to Imagine Motorsports "INCINER8OR" '57 Chevy convertible, which is powered by an LS1 with eight turbos!Manufacturers from major aftermarket companies like Magnuson Superchargers set up displays on the midway to give potential customers a closer look at their products and answer any questions they might have. Our offer to shake down Magnuson's supercharged Cadillac CTS-V was politely declined, so we'll have to catch it's debut at SEMA like everyone else.

About the Show
Sean (Sean Hayes, "Will & Grace") is a divorced dad who juggles a lot - his successful but demanding career, offbeat employees, his pushy mom, Lorna (Linda Lavin, "Alice") and weekends with his teenage daughter, Ellie (Samantha Isler). So when his 14-year-old bundle of joy moves in full-time, it's a whole new world.
Never one to do anything halfway, Sean's intent on being the best dad ever, so he loads up on parenting how-to books and plans Pinterest-worthy family dinners. But it seems his company's new owner (Thomas Lennon, "Reno 911!") has decided Sean and his team should work longer hours, putting a damper on his homemaking plans and throwing a kink in Sean's perfectly constructed work/life balance. Ellie, a normal girl who wants to hang with her friends and eat on the run, sees this development as a plus. She loves her dad, but he's clearly going overboard.
From keeping his boss happy, his employees motivated and enduring his mother's tactless "advice" to raising a smart, grounded and healthy kid, it's going to be a growing experience, to say the least. But if anyone can handle it all, it's Sean.
Echo Kellum ("Ben and Kate") also stars.
From executive producers Hayes ("Hot in Cleveland," "Grimm") and Todd Milliner ("Hot in Cleveland," "Grimm"), executive producer/director James Burrows ("Friends," "The Big Bang Theory") and writer/executive producer Victor Fresco ("Better Off Ted," "Andy Richter Controls the Universe"), "Sean Saves the World" is a production of Universal Television and Hazy Mills Productions and Garfield Grove.

The Mississippi Supreme Court Thursday declined to hear the post-conviction petition of a Jackson man sentenced to 20 years for a 2005 armed robbery/slaying.
Court record show Tytus Williams pleaded guilty to manslaughter in 2007 in Hinds County in the shooting death of Lukaji Namburi during a robbery at a motel in west Jackson.
Williams also was sentenced to 20 years on the armed robbery charge. It is running concurrently with the manslaughter sentence.
In his post-conviction petition, Williams argued he deserved a new trial because his attorney should have done a better job.
The state Court of Appeals last year ruled the court record shows Williams told the trial judge that he was satisfied with his legal representation.

|Missing sign sought
|Written by Terri Biersdorfer
Dear Editor,
During the week of Nov. 17, someone took a sign we've had hanging on our porch for many years. Perhaps it was a prank or a dare—it was certainly bold. While I can't imagine why somebody would do this, I do know that it was unique and another is not likely to be found. I enjoy unique, fun signs; this loss makes me very sad. I would ask our community if they find a small terra cotta sign that says: "No solicitors please. We're quite happy the way we are. If anything changes we'll call you." to please call or leave it on our porch.
As for those comfortable enough to take it in the first place (and you know who you are), remember that one day you may have a home of your own that you carefully decorate, only to find one morning that someone has taken something special to you.
Terri Biersdorfer

October 4, 2011 at 6:15pm by Jerry Askin
Melvina Johnson still holds back her tears after her 23-year old son Freddie Fluker was gunned down and killed last February.
"I think about him constantly, I'm always out to the grave, but I'm trying to move on with my life," says Melvina Johnson, mother of Freddie Fluker.
Tuesday, a judge sentenced Willie Byrd to 20 years in prison and 5 years of probation.
Freddie Fluker was shot and killed in a car on Mitchell Street in Havana. Norman Davis was wounded. Deputies arrested Willie Byrd in connection with the crime.
"He was just full of life, he was a family man and it's hard. We're a closed niche family - and it's hard when we get together and he's not there," says Pamela McCoy, aunt of Freddie Fluker.
Byrd had pled guilty to second degree murder in August 2011. Ricky Warren and Gabriel Strong were found guilty of first degree murder and sentenced to life in prison back in August.
"With Willie Byrd, at least he'll have the opportunity to get out of prison, hopefully he'll be able to change his life around and do good and live productively in society," says Pamela McCoy.
"But fortunately enough his family can visit him in prison and talk to him. My sister has to visit her son in the graveyard. Every time she talks to him there's no response no silence," says Kathy Dickey, aunt of Freddie Fluker.
Fluker attended TCC and drove trucks all over the country.
"I miss him very much, but we can kind of move on a little bit, we won't ever forget him, but we can learn to deal with it," says Betty Reed, Fluker's grandmother.
The judge ordered Willie Byrd not to have any contact with the victim's family or his co-defendants.
The judge ordered Byrd also not to have any contact with Norman Davis or his family.
October 4, 2011 - 3pm -
Willie Byrd was sentenced to 20 years in prison and 5 years probation
The sentencing for Willie Byrd will be held today at 1:30 PM at the Gadsden County Courthouse.
Byrd is connected with the February 2010 murder of 23-year-old Freddie Fluker.
Fluker was shot and killed in a car on Mitchell Street in Havana, Florida. Two other men have already been sentenced to life in prison for the murder.

Streamliners - Land-Speed Racing's Fastest ClassWritten by Elana Scherr on November 1, 2013 Contributors: Wes Allison, Brandan Gillogly Unlimited Potential
What's the best way to go fast? If you ask around at the Bonneville land-speed races, you'll get as many different answers as there are grains of salt beneath the wheels of a push truck. Land-speed racing is one of the most experimental forms of motorsports on Earth, and although many of the classes put limits on how far competitors can experiment with body mods or engine changes, there's one group unburdened by production profiles or pesky stock wheel placement: the Streamliners. The only things constraining the builders and drivers of the Streamliner classes are their own imaginations. Watch these space pods fly across the five-mile course on the Bonneville Salt Flats in competition that considers 240 mph "a shakedown pass", and you'll wonder if they even follow the laws of physics. We spent seven days at Bonneville's Speed Week squinting across the salt flats to see what's beneath these bullet-bodies, and what's inside the heads and hearts of the men and women who drive them.

What Is a Streamliner?
The definition of a Streamliner has changed as various sanctioning bodies have formed and organized top -speed racing meets. Streamliners were first specifically classed by the SCTA (organizers of land-speed racing at Bonneville, El Mirage, and Muroc dry lakes) in 1939 and included cars that didn't fit in the stock or modified roadster classes due to body modifications. Belly tanks showed up in 1946, moving the shape of the cars in the class one step closer to the spaceships that they are today. The first enclosed-wheel Streamliners appeared in 1949 and the race organizers moved the open-wheel belly tankers to the Lakester class. Today, a Streamliner must be a non-production body and have at least two wheels covered by the fairing. Other than that, it's pretty much wide open on the rules, which is what the racers in this class like about it.
"A Streamliner is the ultimate all-out speed vehicle." — Brad Bosworth, No. 987, Valley Fever
Not a Streamliner
What Powers a Streamliner?
There are 18 engine classes legal for Streamliners, and that's not counting additional classes for turbine engines and electric motors. If you include the forced induction and fuel options, that makes a lot of possible combinations. Stroll through the pits, and you're likely to see at least one powerplant that surprises you. From nitro-burning bike engines to multiple big-blocks, choosing an engine is easy. The hard part comes when it's time to put that power to the salt.
"I've been racing for 30 years, always in Blown Fuel. I raced once on gas, never again. You're stuck with whatever it runs. With nitro, you can keep adding horsepower till it blows the pistons out." — Mark Lingua, No. 1167
"Would you try to hammer a nail in backward?" — Jack Costella, on the idea of small frontal area
In 1949, SCTA held the first Speed Week on the Bonneville Salt Flats. However, many famous top-speed and endurance runs occurred on the salt flats before this, including those by Ab Jenkins, John Cobb, and Sir Malcom Campbell.
Weights amongst the Streamliners ranges from Speed Demon's 4,760 pounds to Jack Costella's 900-pound Nebulous Theorem VIII.
What Makes "Good" Salt?
At any race, you'll hear participants complaining about the track, and the salt flats have been damaged by mining operations (learn more at SaveThe Salt.org) but even under the best of conditions Bonneville's course will change radically from year to year, and even from day to day. Good salt is damp enough to be firmly packed but dry enough to hold together as the cars pass over. The course gets rutted as the day goes on, which is why you'll usually see the fast passes made in the morning.

Bob Dalton in the Hemi-powered Flashpoint says he chose to build a Streamliner because there are no rules as to the design of cars in this class. "You can let your imagination go wild. That is a major deal if you're sick of cookie-cutter racing like NASCAR, NHRA, or IndyCar." He actually had a much longer list of racing he was sick of, but we don't have room.Besides being open to innovation, Streamliners are also some of the fastest cars at Speed Week, something that appeals to long-time land-speed racer Skip Hedrich who said he chose to build a Streamliner because nothing else would fulfill his "quest for speed."Logan Davis, whose Vintage Performance Special was one of our favorite cars on the salt this year, says he chose the class because it seemed like the most extreme form of land-speed racing and one of the most challenging.Modified Sports and Competition Coupe cars are often mistaken for Streamliners because they have similar elongated frontends and can have covered wheels. The difference is that the back portion of the vehicle started out as a production car.If light weight and reliability at high rpm are land-speed advantages, you would expect to see sportbike engines, and you wouldn't be disappointed. From stock GSXRs like Jack Costalla's Nebulous Theorom VIII to one-off fully custom engines like Mark Lingua's Yamaha-based, nitrous- and nitro-burning four-cylinder, bike engines can handily power a Streamliner into the record books.It looks like a Top Fuel dragster engine, and for good reason: several of Bob Dalton's crew have a background in drag racing. Pro Mod engine builder Darren Mayer built the giant 18-71 blower on top of the alcohol-burning Don Jackson Engineering Hemi.Another Hemi, but a different setup, the 520ci Hemi in the Nish Streamliner is burning nitro but has no external power-adders.If one is good, two is better. The Richmond and Stark Streamliner follows in the footsteps of famous multi-engine cars like the four-Hemi Goldenrod. Richard Richmond drew up the original plans for this car 50 years ago but only recently built it. He chose two dry-sump, Dart-block Chevy engines, each powering half the car. Each engine is 386 ci, and the combined displacement means running in the AA engine class for cars with more than 501 ci.
Because there is so much freedom to choose any powerplant, and because the long periods of wide-open acceleration make an excellent real-life dyno test, custom and prototype engine designs are not unusual. The Burton Brown Streamliner was only at Bonneville to tech, but the team plans to use the car to test the durability and performance of the John Stowe–designed dual-swirl port engine, using a custom head design atop an aluminum Formula Ford Kent block.Engine size changes your class, but bigger isn't always faster. The Poteet and Main Speed Demon, current C-class record-holder at 437.183 mph, has gone faster with its 300ci D-class motor than with the larger one. Engine builder Kenny Duttweiler says that little engines have the advantage in land-speed racing because they can spin the parts fast and have less traction problems than large mills. "Besides," he adds, "small turbo engines aren't really small engines."You may have seen records billed as "world's fastest piston-engine, wheel-driven…" That's because there are Streamliners running pistonless engines, like those in the Turbine class. Turbine cars are classified by weight, not displacement, so cars like Walter Medlin's carbon-fiber 'liner with its consumer helicopter engine runs in a different group than the new Vesco Turbinator II, which uses a military Chinook turbine. Turbinator II is a brand-new version of the original, out at Speed Week for the first shake-down since Don Vesco ran the first Turbinator more than 458 mph in 2001.Safety is a priority in Streamliner design. Parachute size and placement can make the difference between a gentle stop and becoming airborne.Many of the Streamliners on the flats at Speed Week had been looked over by an aerodynamics expert, but surprisingly, of the teams we spoke with, only Mark Lingua had ever put the car in an actual wind tunnel. He says he made changes to the nose and added a channel in the belly pan as a result of that testing.Some racers believe that turbine cars shouldn't get to classify themselves as wheel-driven, claiming that they are really thrust-powered because of the turbine exhaust. Turbinator driver Dave Spangler disagrees. "These are helicopter engines, designed to spin blades; they aren't thrust turbines. We're actually worried about the drag from the exhaust slowing us down. It's not an advantage."Many of the smaller Streamliners have moved to solid aluminum wheels because there are few options for speed-rated tires, and even with land-speed rubber, a tire can only take so many high-speed runs, as this take-off from Speed Demon demonstrates. The SD team is sticking with the pneumatic tires for now, because they worry that solid wheels will transmit too much vibration to the driver.Many of the smaller Streamliners have moved to solid aluminum wheels because there are few options for speed-rated tires, and even with land-speed rubber, a tire can only take so many high-speed runs, as this take-off from Speed Demon demonstrates. The SD team is sticking with the pneumatic tires for now, because they worry that solid wheels will transmit too much vibration to the driver.Deciding to run a Streamliner is a commitment to land-speed racing. It's not like you can take your car out to the local dragstrip for a test and tune or use it to get groceries. There's no other use for a knee-high, wheeled rocket the length of a city block, except going really, really fast in a straight line. Maybe something about that shared passion makes the land-speed racers very supportive of one another. Teams share parts and skills and occasionally even cars, allowing rookie drivers to make license runs in proven vehicles, like Bob Blakely did in the Vesco Little Giant.
It's a tight fit in the cockpit of a Streamliner, no place for claustrophobics. Things happen fast during the run, but drivers tell us there's none of the vision blurring that occurs in a Top Fuel dragster because the land-speed cars don't pull the same high g's. It was also pointed out that "there's nothing to see out there."George Poteet shows off his 451-mph top speed to drag racing legend Don Prudhomme. Prudhomme had never been to Bonneville before. We asked him what he thought, and he just said, "These boys are too tough for me." HOT RODBuilding a Streamliner is all about packaging. How you fit the fuel tanks, cooling systems, gearboxes, intake tubing, and wiring is as important as how much horsepower the engine makes.Sometimes your week is over before it begins. Skip Hedrich was unable to pass tech this year because his 10-year-old car doesn't meet the new safety specs but isn't old enough to be grandfathered in. He was disappointed but says there's always next year.Jack Costella surprises more than a few aerodynamicists when he claims his needle-like Streamliners go under the wind rather than through it. We can't argue with his results, since this car holds more than 10 records and driver Tim Cunha says it's so easy to drive that he can "check his watch" while cruising down the course at more than 200 mph.

Working With Academic Probation Students
The goals of the project for mandatory advising for academic probation students are to:
- Increase both the retention of the students and the GPA of the returning students
- Decrease the number of students placed on academic suspension
- Student is placed or continues on Academic Probation after failing to achieve a 2.0 cumulative GPA after semester grades are posted-a registration block is placed on their records, preventing them from registering or changing an existing schedule
- Letter is sent to the student from Admissions notifying them of their status and providing contact information, a web link to the "Probation Exercise," is included in the letter, that students should complete before advising visit
- When the student logs on to CampusConnect, a pop-up message will say:
SPC is committed to your academic success; therefore please contact your advisor (advisor's Name linked to contact info list) or one of the South Plains College Counseling Centers for assistance with registration.
Levelland Counseling Center: 806-894-9611, ext. 2366
Reese Counseling Center: 806-894-9611, ext. 4606

If additional information is needed, please contact Christina Conner, Retention Specialist, at 806-894-9611, ext. 2961.
- Student makes an appointment with their advisor or the Counseling Center for assistance, or attends open registration or late registration During visit with counselor/ advisor, the following is expected to take place:
(a) Counselor/advisor discusses "Probation Exercise," with student and makes appropriate recommendations based on the student's responses
(b) Counselor/advisor determines any course or credit hour limitations for the semester schedule
(c) Counselor/advisor completes the "Academic Probation Contract" with the student, and both sign (see attached); student is strongly encouraged to take either HUDV 1100, 1200, or 1300 if they have not already successfully passed one of the classes
- Counselor/advisor can choose to remove the registration block by:
a) Going to "Demographic Information," in CampusConnect
b) Clicking on "Update Demographic" and, using drop-down menu next to "Cleared for Web Registration," change the item to "Yes
- Counselor/advisor either scans contract into FileBound under the student's Admissions Academic Suspension/Probation folder, or forwards a copy to Christina Conner at Box S for scanning
How is a student removed from Academic Probation?
A student is removed from academic probation once their cumulative GPA reaches 2.0 or higher.
If you have any questions about the project, please contact Christina Conner, Retention Specialist, at firstname.lastname@example.com or 806-894-9611, ext. 2961.

I Know People Say "Write what you feel", But... (May Help Wrtier's Block)
First, I'm not saying that's bad advice. But let's look at it this way. Everyone write's how they feels, especially in my particular genre. Holy shit. Anyways.
Music needs to come from inside, and that's more than true. However, that doesn't always mean it has to come from your emotions. It's your thoughts and observations too! What I'm basically suggesting, is that you should take a look at your surroundings, too!
Observe the world. Seriously. I don't mean the obvious either. Rain, Nightlife in the City, etc. Get creative! I was helping my little sister clean her room the other day, and saw a stuffed turtle on the window ledge. Instead of the logical choice, and stuffing that green bastard in a shoebox, I started thinking.
I saw a little red turtle on my window/Using my soft brown wood as a pillow/
A great big eagle took him away, into the sky/with a little turtle hand he waved goodbye/
Etc. Anyway, anything can become a song, is what I'm trying to say. The next time you see a toy, some unique food, a squirrel, a lamp, ANYTHING. Think about it from a different standpoint. How did it get there? How did that circumstance happen? How do these objects/people feel? Etc.
Anyway, that's my piece. Hopefully, it helped.
Keep your hopes up high, and your head down low.

I combine them. When I get emotional about the things I observe, it makes the best lyrics, haha!

Hey Brian
Great point! I have heard about a method of songwriting called "Object writing", which is basically what you described (as I understand it anyway). It is taking an object, e.g. the stub of a ticket to a show you went to with an old lover, or a stuffed turtle like you said, and then writing a song around it.

It's as simple as not thinking.
Your thoughts require logic, and logic uses a language to rationalize said thoughts, therefore judging everything critically as it hits you.
Just stop calling everything you think of, 'shit'. 'Cause, you get ideas all the time; you simply don't like most of them.
That's why they say 'write what you feel'.
Sometimes, you'll sit there with your instrument, thinking, 'what chord should i play next? Maybe a 7th, etc...' **** that. You're judging the next chord before you even play it. That's what everyone's problem is, and it's sometimes a problem i have myself, though one i'm undoing.
You can write about a stuffed turtle, a glass of water; your flashlight... or fleshlight, but that doesn't mean you're not gonna think critically of it before you even touch your paper, let alone your instrument.
In regards to instrumentation: forget about chord scales and scales in general. The less you think about scales (or any theoretical bull, to be honest. ), the more you restrict the imagination.
"OH, but you CAN'T play a minor chord a third from the root of the minor scale!" No. You can literally play any chord shape you can think of, and make it sound good. See, when you learn the theory of music and writing, it becomes natural. You don't need to think about it. You merely apply it. When you know the rules, you know what rules to break. Simple as DAT.
Secondly, you're more inlikely going to find good melodies with your voice than you would following your hand. Your voice knew music before you ever did. Your ears, too. That, my friend, is FEELING. When you sing random shit about, or hear said random shit in your mind, that is a feeling. If you don't write from those feelings, you ain't doing it right, and even worse; you're restricting yourself, yet again!
Object writing, however, is without a doubt a good thing to practice, but don't even approach object writing from a theoretical standpoint either. Don't think WORDS to yourself, when you see an object, or see a word. Visualize the atmosphere that surrounds it, apart from you. Use imagery. What you hear, see, touch, and feel is what grabs a hold of you.
It's like acting: You need to understand your character's goal, why they believe in what they do, and what their argument states; empathize with them. Empathize.
If thinking comes before everything else, for me personally, it's not as honest as it feels like it should be. When it all comes out before a single thought, it's... 'damn, i got a good feeling about that.'
Don't trust your words, and especially your thoughts. Thoughts have a filter on them, which bar your creative mind. They're your editor. If you edit when you 'song-write', then you ain't song-writing. You're trying to harvest from a tree that's grown no fruit yet. Serious. It's like.... damn.

Ages pass between logging in. I finally have something to share, though not quite done. This is the Great Hall of Pella Sol'Kur, inspired by Dyson at Dyson's Dodecahedron earlier this week. My map measures 64 inches long. You can see a mini standing by the pools in the deep caves. I will finish the non-playable area and re-post an image with nothing on the map so that it may be captured and re-coloured or worked with in whatever way you have available.
In the Great Hall itself, you find a raised platform and the throne dais one step higher than that. Behind the throne is a secret door which led to a room with a long narrow exit through a door feeding back into the side chamber of the hall. Unfortunately, the creatures that came up through the pools in the deep caves broke through here (and elsewhere). You will also find in the left-most panel an isolated strongroom accessed by two tunnels coming from (1) a chamber across the entrance hall and (2) a tunnel dug at a later date by the invaders (my sons).
Dyson's original post is linked below.
The image was drawn entirely freehand with pencil then retraced using pen. I used coloured pencil working on the textured floor of the kitchen for a bit of depth and variation. See the inspiration from Dyson's book here:[Tuesday Map] The Great Hall of Pella SolKur (3 maps) | Dyson's Dodecahedron

Philadelphia, PA (Sports Network) - D.A. Points waited out a weather delay in
the final round Sunday, then closed out his victory at the Houston Open, and
that win helped him soar in this week's world golf rankings.
Points jumped 125 places to No. 70 this week. The victory also earned him a
spot in the field at The Masters.
The field for The Masters was set as those in the top 50 this week earned a
spot if they were not already qualified. Three players qualified through the
rankings -- Henrik Stenson, Fredrik Jacobson and Richard Sterne.
There was little movement at the top of the rankings. Tiger Woods remained No.
1 and was again followed by Rory McIlroy, Justin Rose, Luke Donald, Brandt
Snedeker, Louis Oosthuizen, Adam Scott, Steve Stricker and Matt Kuchar.
Phil Mickelson inched up one to No. 10 and that bumped Keegan Bradley down one
to 11. Ian Poulter stayed 12th and was followed by Lee Westwood, Bubba Watson
and Charl Schwartzel.
Sergio Garcia and Graeme McDowell exchanged places with Garcia moving up to
16th and McDowell slipping to 17th. Jason Dufner held steady in 18th, while
Dustin Johnson and Webb Simpson flip-flopped positions in 19th and 20th to
close out this week's rankings.

WEST LIBERTY - Thanks to the generosity of alumnus Gary E. West, the West Liberty University athletic department will have an artificial lighting system in place at historic Russek Field in time for the start of the 2013 football season.
"We are grateful to Gary for his ongoing support and expect this gift of lighting to add a whole new dimension to our football program. Our players, coaches, fans, campus and the entire community thank him for his gift. It will add dramatically to the experience of both the fans and student-athletes," WLU President Robin C. Capehart said.
Russek Field currently features a MondoTurf playing surface and seats 4,000 fans.

Thanks to the generosity of alumnus Gary E. West, WLU's Russek Field will have an artificial lighting system in place by Sept. 1
The lighting represents Phase Two of the football stadium upgrades funded by West, since the turf, installed in 2008, also was a West gift. This new project is expected to cost in the neighborhood of $500,000.
"This field will benefit many individuals and groups besides football athletes. The entire campus community will benefit tremendously. We thank Gary for his ongoing generosity," Athletics Director Jim Watson said. "This allows our football team to practice in the evening, which is very important with class schedules."
The construction firm selected after bidding the lighting project was Plavchak Construction Company, Jefferson Hills, Pa. The lighting system is designed by Musco Lighting, Canonsburg, Pa. The project should be completed by Sept. 1.
"The addition of new lighting will give us more options when planning our season. This year we'll play our first night game on Halloween against Charleston," said Head Football Coach Roger Waialae, who brings a 53-36 (.596) record into his ninth season leading the Hilltoppers. Kickoff for the Charleston game is scheduled for 7 p.m.
The 2013 season will mark the 88th year of intercollegiate football at the University.

I've tried to make the same with my user, but I don't know how to build the URL, so jetty gives me an 404 error.
Which URL should I visit to get my calendar?
Thanks in advance.

Madison, NC -- When you think of the typical lucky charm, a rabbit's foot or a four leaf clover might come to mind.
But Rick Hendrick, owner of Hendrick Motorsports, thought putting NASCAR legend Junior Johnson in Jimmie Johnson's pit box Sunday would bring the driver luck.
And it appears to have worked! Johnson won in Texas (Jimmie that is)!
Junior Johnson helped build NASCAR and he helped a Made In The Triad business, boost business, by bringing his bootlegger style to Piedmont Distillers. WFMY News2 first featured Piedmont Distillers in 2010. Since then, they've added a new line of Moonshine.
The fruit mixes include Blueberry, Strawberry, Blackberry and Apple Pie. It's not just a flavoring. Real fruit is mixed in and floats in the moonshine.
Moonshine. How does it taste?
"As soon as they taste it there always like, oh my God that is incredible smooth," says founder Joe Michalek.
The company is now in 48 states and will be in all 50 by the end of the year.
"Making liquor during prohibition, a lot of people jumped into the business because it was a lot of quick bucks to be made and thats when it got its bad reputation."
Now some seventy-seven years after prohibition ended the soured reputation is making way for piedmont distillers to distribute their own line of moonshine. The initial product, Carolina Catdaddy Moonshine, became so popular that it was offered to the 2009 Grammy nominees gift bags.Two years later they were looking to make another splash and they turned to the most famous bootlegger of them all, Junior Johnson and his fathers famous recipe.
"He personally approved the recipe that we make here at Piedmont Distillery."
"It was never intended to be a bad drink," says Junior Johnson. "It was just against the law that you had to pay the taxes on it and people could not make it and afford to pay the taxes. So, it's come full circle now and it sells now for more than what it costs us to make it so you can make a profit off of it."
And it's not only Johnson making a profit. Thirty employees call this place home, bottling and shipping product out every week. From ingredients to boxes and corks many of the supplies used are produced right here in the Tarheel state.

Which Big 12 team is now your most hated, in football?
I'm going to go with Kansas. They've had one good season...ever, and their fans think they're Oklahoma. I can't stand them.
CPR: Resuscitating ISU Football, one win at a time.
Missouri, they were always a close second to Nebby anyway.
either mizzou or texas
Missouri, they were so confident they were going to get in the Big 10 and now they are stuck with us.
Why is it always necessary to hate other teams?
Some of us aren't full of butterflies, rainbows, and sunshine. Thats why.
I'm going with Baylor. That bear looks like a troublemaker
Texas, to me I gotta hate the team that is usually hardest to beat since I don't see anyone's fans regularly to irritate me like Iowa.
K State, followed very closely by Mizzou.
MIZ-ZOU chant is as annoying as anything I have heard.
I can make arguments for several.
Baylor: absolute worst experience I've had at a college football game. Their fans are arrogant ******, not so much about football, but because they're wealthy trust fund babies. The 100 fans or so I saw tailgating that is. Just a miserable time all around. People weren't very hospitable at all, which is 100% opposite from how I've been treated in College Station or Austin. ISU may suck at football, but at least we know how to have a good time.
A&M: Aggies fans are incredibly friendly, and College Station was a lot of fun. The way they've been clamoring for the SEC is A) annoying as hell, and makes me think that a good percentage of them are complete imbeciles.
OU: Bob Stoops. Enough said.
In 1984, I was hospitalized for approaching perfection.
I'm gonna go with A&M. Their marching and pep bands annoy the hell out of me. Yeah their football halftime show looks impressive, but it should considering THEY HAVEN'T CHANGED IT IN ONE HUNDRED YEARS. At least our band brings a different halftime show every home game.
Jayhawks are up there for me as well. Their fans are right up there with the most arrogant in the nation.
Thank you to Kagavi & amestoplease for the sweet designs!
A&M's Yell Leaders are probably the biggest ****** bags on the plant. It also bothers me that they act like they're a service academy when they aren't.

ATLANTA -- No infections have been reported here yet, but 189 Georgia patients received steroid injections in Macon that may have been contaminated with a deadly fungal meningitis.
Thursday, it became apparent that hundreds, and perhaps thousands, of people who got the affected shots between July and September could be at risk.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says so far 35 people in seven states have contracted fungal meningitis from routine steroid injections used to treat back pain. Five people have died.
Fungal meningitis is not contagious, the only people in danger are those who were treated with the contaminated drug.
The state Department of Public Health announced Friday that the Georgia patients were all treated at Forsyth Street Ambulatory Surgery Center near Macon. Health officials are working with that facility to contact affected patients. Most have been contacted, and six reported symptoms that could be related to the meningitis, but the department said those symptoms were similiar to what they suffered before they recieved the contaminated drug.
"We are not thinking it's highly likely that these are going to be individuals that will get sick, but we don't want to take any chances," said Patrick O'Neal, the Director of the Division of Health Protection. "So if they've had any symptoms at all which could be in the spectrum you'd see with meningitis, we recommend that those individuals be evaluated by their physicians. "
Those symptoms include nausea, vomiting, headache and fever.
Georgia Public Heath Commissioner Dr. Brenda Fitzgerald said the Macon facility is the only one in the state that received the shipment of potentially tainted drugs from the Massachusetts pharmacy at the heart of a meningitis outbreak, New England Compounding Center.
"Some of these patients' symptoms were very mild in nature," Dr. Fitzgerald said in a letter to 11Alive Medical Correspondent Dr. Sujatha Reddy. "The difficulty in diagnosing fungal meningitis is its subtlety - a slow and undulating illness that may take 1 to 4 weeks following an injection to lead to a variety of symptoms, including fever, new or worsening headache, nausea, and new neurological deficit (consistent with deep brain stroke)."
For more on the meningitis outbreak, visit the CDC's website.

|Town embraces Dragons during 'We Believe' football rally
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
It was cold and a bit breezy but a large group of people braved the cold to show their support for the Holyoke High School football team Friday night, Nov. 9 on the front lawn of coach John Zilla's home. Organized by football parents, the rally was attended by a large gathering of Holyoke faithful. Many of the students and fans gathered around burning trash barrels to keep warm during the rally.
"There's a new sheriff in town," long-time coach and teacher Jim Gribben, pictured above at left, told the players and fans last Friday night. "This whole community believes in you." Gribben also referenced Kenny Chesney's "The Boys of Fall" song last Friday and said fall weather always reminds him of high school playoff football. The song was played multiple times last Friday night.
Another long-time Holyoke coach and teacher, Gary Sperber (pictured above right) lifted the crowd up with a powerful message. He told the football team they had made it as far as they had because they are a united bunch. "You guys help each other out," he noted. "This is going to take you a long way in life." Sperber told the team to focus on the upcoming game, it was the one that mattered the most.
HHS junior quarterback Trevor Dalton (pictured above left) thanked the community for its support and also noted how the seniors on the team helped change the direction of the season. Coming off two losses to begin with, Dalton said the seniors rallied the team and helped them reach the playoffs. "These seniors have done an amazing job," Dalton said. Dalton has been a leader from the sideline after suffering a devastating knee injury in the season opener against St. Francis, Kan.
First year assistant coach Merle Powell said he was excited to be a part of this year's team. Senior Jesus Hermosillo and Marc Maelzer of Star 92.3 also addressed the crowd. Julie Kotch, representing Regent Park/Carriage House, presented football players with bags full of goodies.
Following the speeches, the crowd came together for a "We Believe" chant.

"Look! Brahmins and chumars, bankers and tinkers,
barbers and bunnias,pilgrims -and potters -all the world going and coming.
It is to me as a river from which I am
withdrawn like a log after a flood.
And truly the Grand Trunk Road is a wonderful spectacle.
Such a river of life as no where else exists in the world."
– Rudyard Kipling, Kim
Howrah Bridge
For more than 20 centuries, travelers have walked, ridden, prayed, traded, invaded, escaped,
fought, and died along the 1,500 miles of the Grand Trunk Road which stretches from Kolkata to Kabul.
On the GTR in Bihar State, India
Here are some pictures of people and places I have taken along the route of the Grand Trunk Road during the past thirty years.
Hinduism, Jainism, Sikhism, and Buddhism all developed along the route,
and Muslims proclaimed their beliefs on their journeys along the road.
Sikh Golden Temple, Amritsar, India
The Grand Trunk Road served as the two way escape route for
75 million refugees caught between Indian and Pakistan during Partition.
Peshawar, Pakistan
Peshawar has been a haven for Afghan refugees during decades of war.
Peshawar is strategically located at the crossroads of Central and South Asia.
Landi-Kotal, Pakistan
Near the border with Afghanistan
Khyber Pass connects Pakistan and Afghanistan
This ribbon of humanity stretching Northwest from Kolkata, the city of culture and joy, to Kabul, the city of conflict,
has been moving merchants, buyers, conquerors, refugees, prophets, nomads and pilgrims through what is today
India, Pakistan and Afghanistan.
Jalalabad, Afghanistan
Along this road, forged by conquerors and invaders,
the GT facilitated some of the most significant historical developments which affect us today.
Kabul is over 3,500 years old; many empires have invaded the valley for its
strategic location along the trade routes of Central and South Asia.
Along the route of the GT there is a struggle between secular modernity and the conservatism of ancient religions.

Atlanta, GA, July 25, 2013 - It seems that everywhere you call, youll hear the exact same message, XXR wheels are on a nationwide backorder. First Choice Wheels and Tires took the initiative to try and beat the system by ordering over a thousand wheels a year in advance. Of course there was no way to order every single size and finish, so we wanted to stick with the most popular items. With a selection of 20,000 part numbers, you can see how this might get overwhelming stated Dino Cajic, CEO of First Choice Wheels and Tires. He explained that XXR is a brand that people want. If we can provide it sooner than the other guy youll come out on top. Our sales and marketing staff have spent hundreds of hours on XXR alone trying to predict which items will be popular a year from now. A year...

I think the only place to tap into the pressurized oil system for a external oil cooler is the external pipe that runs up to the cylinder head.Unless I'm wrong, using a thermostat in the external oil cooler could lead to a catastrophic failure of the rocker arms, the valve guides and the cam followers.If the thermostat decides the oil is too cool and it doesn't need the cooler it will prevent the oil from circulating up to these parts.The only way it could work without causing this problem is if the thermostat allows a free flow past the cooler when the oil is cool and it diverts the oil thru the radiator core when the oil is hot.
Tom, since you're here and we're on the topic...do you think the spin-on filter mod is a good idea or does the traditional filter work well enough? I got my filter and mounted it in the airstream to try and get a bit of a radiator effect on my 350, but I'm wondering if it's worth it to try and plumb it back into the Fireball when I get it all built.If I do add it to the Fireball, I'm going to mount it closer to the engine and more out of the general air stream.

Spent some time in the area over Easter. Stayed in Carlsbad. Saturday climbed Guadalupe peak and that afternoon drove down to queen to look over the country. Hard to believe this area is supposed to have the highest deer density in the state? Already put in elsewhere, but anyone ever hunted this unit for archery deer or elk? What did you think?
I was underwhelmed with the amount and quality of deer in 36, trying to find a good back up unit for the January archery deer hunt. After eating lots of tag soup (bear, deer, elk, deer) last year, valuing opportunities over inches for a while.
