Project '51 For $15K, Part 6Written by on September 1, 2012 Installing the power: wiring, tread, and a driveshaft
We're rolling now. We mean that literally, as we've got our Project '51 on all four and just with that accomplishment, we're rejuvenated and ready to move onto the next series of tasks. Not to mention that we're well under our budget, which makes it even more fun to get some new parts bolted in place.
In the last installment we got the used small-block mounted to the new Chassis Engineering frontend and tied a 350 Turbo to a trick trans mount from Walton Fabrication. The missing link to complete the drivetrain was a driveshaft, which we set about to remedy with a trip to the boneyard. We found two candidates from similar Chevy pieces but it turned out one was too long and one too short. Goldilocks we are not. However, we scored a usable yoke and a starting point with a shaft that could be shortened.
The local driveshaft specialist gave us the direction on how to measure the length (install the yoke as far as it'll go, and then pull it out 3/4 to 1 inch and measure from the center of the yoke's cap-hole mounting flange of the rearend pinion). Ours was right at 57 inches and the team at U-Joints did their thing by cutting the used shaft and welding it to the perfect length. New U-joints were installed, of course, and the unit slipped right into place. The drivetrain was all connected.
With everything connected we couldn't resist getting our tires and wheels mounted. Not just any tires were going to do; we had to go with a set of wide whites from Coker. This was a bit of a hit to our budget, with the tires showing up on our doorstep to the tune of $970, but the car just wouldn't look right without vintage whites and the radials will provide a safe, comfortable ride. We'll see how we fair budget-wise in a few months.
We did roll with the stock rims and after a thorough media blast, we painted one various shades to come up with the right look. After hemming, hawing, and even getting my wife's opinion, we ended up right back where we were at the beginning—red. The tires were mounted, balanced, and installed. When we dropped the old Chevy on the ground, we were pleased with the stance and overall guise.
With chassis and powertrain projects out of the way, we decided to move to a lightweight project—wiring. A call was made to the techs at Painless Performance in Fort Worth, Texas, for a recommendation. Since the electronics on the '51 are fairly limited, we ended up with their 12-circuit harness kit (PN 10102). We won't lie, wiring can be intimidating. Painless jumps through the hoops so you don't have to. Each wire is marked with its function and where it needs to be routed. When we did have a question, their techs were quick to guide us in the right direction with the ignition switch and proper connections. With the front end off the car, we're limited to what we can accomplish, but there's plenty to connect to keep you busy. Our goal is to get the wiring complete to fire up the car prior to assembling the front end.
At the end of this installment, we're tipping the budget scale north of $8,000 but we're still feeling pretty good about having enough leftover to fund a road trip to a show.

One area we decided not to scrimp was tires. We have several reasons; a reliable and smooth ride, safety, and sheer appearance. Coker was the logical choice for a set of wide whites and we went with their American Classics. A local shop popped the tires on the stock rims, followed by a high-speed balance.The decision to wrap the new whites around the stock steelies was easy, but selecting a color for the wheels was tough. After a treatment to the sandblaster, we bounced around satin green (just too much green), orange, plum, white, red, and a few others around the office.The decision to wrap the new whites around the stock steelies was easy, but selecting a color for the wheels was tough. After a treatment to the sandblaster, we bounced around satin green (just too much green), orange, plum, white, red, and a few others around the office.We went with a simple, dark red. Out of all the colors, the red just answered to us. Maybe it's just that we like Christmas.With the '51 on all four and rolling around the shop, we directed our attention to the wiring. This is one area that we're not extremely fond of simply because it takes attention to detail to do a nice job. And we're not detail-oriented under deadlines or geeked about another project. The Painless 12-circuit wiring kit will make us look like pros when it's all said and done.We found a suitable location for the fuse panel just above the driver's left foot and above the vent cable. This keeps the fuses easily accessible yet is out of the way and out of sight.The Painless system has the wires routed into different bundles to make it easy when routing wires to their connections. When you're routing wires across the floor or firewall, keep in mind any connections or holes that may come along, such as seat brackets or safety belts.Did we mention that Painless prints the location and function of each wire? Once the wires for the taillamps were located, they were routed together to their pending connections. We ran a piece of double-sided carpet tape down the rocker to hold the wires in place. Once assembled, these will also be out of sight.
We picked up new taillight sockets, a pair of 1157 bulbs, and a license plate light at the local parts depot and started stripping and crimping.

1929 Ford Model A Roadster - The Ultimate A: Revisited - Expanded for WebWritten by Eric Geisert on September 1, 2010 Tom Lieb's '29 Roadster Is Now Painted
When we last saw Tom Lieb's Model A roadster, it was on the cover of the Oct. '09 issue of STREET RODDER. Dressed only in metal, the magazine asked the question: Is this the ultimate Model A? In that article, the old Ford was depicted with its fantastic metal fabrication by SO-CAL Speed Shop's Jimmy Shine, along with the rare vintage parts used on the build. With a unique "how'd-they-do-that?" point of view that only non-painted parts and pieces can provide, the story goes on to comment, "It would be a shame to paint it."
Well, it had to happen sooner or later. Tom has finished his ride, and it is as nice of a top-of-the-line car as you could ask for. The SO-CAL team in Pomona, California, did an excellent job of coating all the components in their respective colors, paying special attention to what parts contrast which pieces. And in doing so the vehicle has become a whole 'nuther car: one deserving of praise and accolades in its own right. But one can't help the fact that the all-metal car that invited scrutiny because it was so exposed to the world, will never again be seen except as a collection of photographs.
The idea behind the car was to combine design elements associated with some of the great coachbuilt vehicles of the era while utilizing all of the best parts and pieces that would have been available in the '30s and '40s. The finished roadster debuted at the Grand National Roadster Show as part of the large display SO-CAL Speed Shop organizes every year, and Tom recently had the chance to drive his roadster car around town. Luckily, the finished car wound up being everything Tom and SO-CAL were shooting for and, after being originally bought by Tom in 1957, it is assured of at least another few decades with Tom as its owner. For those interested in seeing a few hundred extra photos of this car, both in its unfinished metal version as well as in finish paint, check out the Tom Lieb story at www.streetrodderweb.com.

Jimmy Shine fabbed the intake system using an air cleaner setup from a '27 Lincoln, which has mini impellers inside the louvered tops that are designed to not only work as mini superchargers but to catch and toss out small dirt particles or debris.The body was channeled an inch while the cab was extended 3 inches (though the doors retain their stock length). The hood, lengthened to make up for the longer wheelbase, uses '33 Ford-type louvers. The grille is a '29 Ford unit that has been chopped and narrowed to fit the nose's new proportions. Tom picked up a pair of '24 Will St. Claire headlights for his roadster, converting the lower driving lights to turn signals for this application.The car's fuel and brake lines are steel but have been copper plated. A 296-inch Ford Flathead was assembled by H&H's Mike Herman using a SCAT 4-1/8-inch stroker crank, SCAT H-beam rods, Ross pistons, and a Winfield 1-A camshaft. Tom found the unique Ford exhaust (which looks like a factory header) in a barn in New Zealand. The system runs through a single Smithy's muffler. A David Key Top Loader transmission is equipped with a McLeod clutch and pressure plate, while the shifter came from a '39 truck.The Iguana Green Ultra Leather works well against the deep blue color of the exterior. Gabe's Street Rod Custom Interiors covered the Glide Engineering seat (with a lowered back piece) as well as the door panels (that feature flip-up door pockets). Rubber mat was used in lieu of carpet, and Dynamat insulation can be found beneath the mat. Jimmy Shine created the removable banjo steering wheel and SO-CAL's Richie Noguiera created the stainless steel floor trim.Under the dash you can see the effort that went into the wiring. Shine used cloth-wrapped wire everywhere.SO-CAL's Jimmy Shine also milled the brass gauge insert (reminiscent of one found in a '32 Auburn) before applying a patina oil and wash treatment that gives it its silver blue color. The custom Classic Instrument gauges have no individual glass covers-the cluster is protected by a single piece of glass that covers the entire unit.
After SO-CAL's Paco Castille performed the needed bodywork on the original '29 Ford body, painter Mick Jenkins applied a flawless Lieb Blue (nearly black) PPG custom single-stage paintjob.An original Halibrand quick-change, with narrowed 9-inch Ford axles and a 3.78:1 gear ratio, works with an A spring and '36 rear wishbones. The license plate is the same one the car has had since Tom bought the roadster in 1958, when he was 17 years old. Tom used a '24 Wills St. Claire taillight (though in this application it's twisted 90 degrees) but rewired it so the top is a stoplight and the lower a reverse light.

The Flow NX2-AT snowboard binding is back and even better. It has gone on a diet since last year, with an aluminum baseplate that's slimmed down for a more responsive ride, but without sacrificing strength. It featuring Flow's New Active Strap Technology, so it's easier than ever to get into and out of quickly. Basically, when you drop the high back, the one piece Fusion strap loosens, and when you tighten them up, it snugs down for the control you need. The OC-Kush basepad fights heel bruises on harsh landings, and dampens chatter when the snow conditions are less than ideal. 2.5 degree canted BankBeds keep your knees in line for ergonomic shredding. Best of all, it's compatible with pretty much every binding mount standard out there.
- Medium-stiff flex
- Aluminum rockered baseplate
- OC-Kush basepad
- 2.5 degree canted BankBeds
- N.A.S.T.Y. active strap technology
- 1-piece Fusion PowerStrap

- Compatible with 3 hole, 4 hole, and The Channel snowboards

Sweet bindings and worth the money
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
These are my 2nd set of NX2-AT's and that is a good thing. Got the 2nd set because they were on sale. Rode the Fuse-AT 28 days, then got my 1st set of NX2-AT. Rode NX2-AT the last 10 days of the season and was fortunate enough to be able to ride all conditions during that time. These bindings are the ticket to great riding days, very easy in, very responsive, very easy out. I got pinwheeled into a tree well my last day of the season, very nice to be able to pop right out of rear entry. Especially when you're upside-down kissing tree bark!! I ride 32's Prime boot and have boards from 155cm to 170cm by Lib-Tech, K2 and Never Summer. Bindings combined with the boots, make the day. If you are a Rider get these bindings, you'll love them!! If you are a casual slider, save your money.
Great bindings and worth every penny!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Just returned from a 4 day trip to Salt Lake. Visited Snowbird, Solitude and Brighton. I purchased the bindings the week before the trip, but had everything setup to ride. The bindings are great and I could not ask for a better product. This is my first pair of Flow bindings and now I'm sold on their bindings for life. Easy to adjust to fit any boot type and love the quick entry. I used a size 10 DC Judge 2014 boa boots with these bindings. The fit was great and I never had an issue with the straps locking my boot to the binding. I did all mountain riding, but did not spend time in the parks. I did drops and jumps on the mountain and the bindings held their own on all terrains.
Flow No 'Mo (Flow NX2-AT - 2012/2013)
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I've had two pair of flow bindings and I'm finally giving up. Don't get me wrong... They have a great concept and the construction of the bindings is top notch. In the 6 years I've ridden flows, the only things that's broken is one of the straps on a really cold day.
The problem I had with flows is really two fold. First, the single (power) strap creates uneven pressure points across the tops of my feet. I really like a responsive ride and so I cranked them down. This result is the pressure points, restricted blood flow, and arch cramps. This doesn't happen with my current binding, which I ride just as tight.
Second, the rear entry design doesn't save any time. I didn't expect my first set to be too much a time saver, but hoped they would be more convenient. That wasn't the case at all. I was sure they had this resolved with their active strap technology, so I bought the Flow NX2-AT (2012/2013). In the new ones, the power strap does come forward when you drop the highbacks... It just doesn't come forward enough to allow your boots to slip out. You end up having to loosen the binding buckles just like the old ones -- or just like regular bindings for that matter.
At least with traditional bindings, I won't get the uneven pressure points. So after really giving flows a good long chance, I'll be a traditionalist going forward. Hope this is helpful.
Sounds like you just want to ride "normal" bindings, no matter your experiences with the Flows. You even said, "This result is the pressure points, restricted blood flow, and arch cramps. This does happen with my current binding, which I ride just as tight." So it's not the bindings, it's how tight you ride them. I ride Flows and never have issues not getting in the back. I imagine it would be more difficult if the straps are cranked down that far. Best of luck with your current setup. Bummer Flows didn't work out!
I'm loving these so far
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
One day of riding so far. initial impressions are that these provide incredible control and are not very forgiving. They fit my profile perfectly as an experienced intermediate rider so this is exactly what I wanted. If you are less experienced, Flow's less expensive bindings would be better for you as they are less stiff. I love the rear entry feature and is frankly what initially sold me on Flow as a replacement for my step in bindings (Switch). These are worth every penny as long as you know what you're getting. What's also really cool is that backcountry.com refunded me the difference between what I paid a month ago and the sale price they have now. So $60 back in my pocket and the best bindings I've ever owned. double bonus.
Solid, but not perfect.
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I bought a set of these to increase my run count on the small local hills. They are 90% of what I'm looking for in a rear-entry binding. When adjusted properly, they are nicely responsive. They also have most of the features you expect from a high-end binding, like a minimized surface area baseplate, cush padding, light weight, and canting. The signature feature is the NASTY strap, which is basically just a hinge that lifts the ankle end of the unified strap up when you drop the highback. This allows you to keep the strap tighter and still be able to get your boot into the binding. It's such a good feature that I couldn't see buying another Flow binding without it.
There is one major flaw, unfortunately. The ratchets are designed with a locking tab to prevent them from tightening unintentionally. These tabs inevitably unlock on their own after an hour or two of riding. If they unlock, the strap can snug down on its own to the point that you can't get your boot into the binding anymore. Since fast entry is the defining feature of a Flow binding, having to screw around with the ratchets defeats the purpose. It means that you basically need to check that the ratchets are still locked after every run.
Any side to side movement when strapped in tight? There looks to be a little more space on the sides of the boot than I am used to. Size 9 Burton boot in a size Large binding. Could be nothing to worry about...
Unbelievable product
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
By far the best bindings Ive ever worn. These bindings are sturdy, however extremely light and don't have pressure points like other bindings. The extra OG-Kush layer really makes a difference in feel when landing a big jump or landings on a rail. Unbelievably fast to put on, and never a loose strap
This is in response to turp63243's question. I'm riding with a size 10 Burton ION (2014 model)boot and the size Large Flow NX2-AT's. I know what you mean by the space but honestly I've never noticed any negative effect. The combination is extremely responsive and also very comfortable. The only issue I've ever had is that the highback sometimes catches on the rubber strip on the back of the boot. This is easily fixed by loosening the ratchets a bit before locking the highback. Once the highback is locked just crank the ratchets down tight and off you go. This can all be done while standing, sitting on a bench or even leaning forward on a any kind of slope.

Hello, I am looking at these for ski patrol. I ride a Burton Ion boot and the Large has some space on both sides of the boot and heel. What size boot do you ride?

Ned Yost media session: September 13
Dyson to start
Jarrod Dyson will make his first Major League start in today's game against Oakland. The left-handed batter is going to face left-handed pitcher Bobby Cramer, but Yost believes the matchup won't bother Dyson. The manager said he needs to find out if his lefty batters can hit southpaws in the big leagues.
Yost also discussed Dyson's ability to run the bases, saying the outfielder is definitely not intimidated to steal because he knows he can be successful on his pure talent. Yost believes Dyson is capable of stealing the tough base even if a pitcher or catcher is unusually fast on their release and throwing times.
Pitching note
Starting pitcher Luke Hochevar is scheduled throw about 80 pitches today, depending on how he feels.

Auctioning 'Valitar' dreams
In a dark tent marooned in a Del Mar Fairgrounds parking lot, the failed "Valitar" horse show became in death what it was in life: Long on flash, short on cash.
Before Tuesday's auction kicked off, Jeff R. Bloom looked at the people milling about and saw reasons for optimism.
"There are a lot of people here, especially when we are selling so many types of items," said Bloom, vice president of Fischer Auction Co., the El Cajon-based company that handled Tuesday's "Valitar" bankruptcy auction. "Everything is going to sell, and we hope to get as much money as possible."
But what they got was about $273,000, far less than the $400,000 to $500,000 the auction was expected to raise to pay creditors of Equustria Development, the production company behind the show that never lived up to its conquering-hero title. Attorneys for some of the creditors asked the bankruptcy court to postpone the auction, with the hope that more time would bring more bidders. But the postponement was denied. The bankruptcy hearing is scheduled for Feb. 19.
After Rancho Santa Fe producers Mark and Tatyana Remley closed "Valitar" in November, just five days into its underattended Fairgrounds run, everything had to go. Tents and portable stables. Phones and fire extinguishers. Feed buckets, sump pumps and assorted chariots. And everyone from big-spending ranchers to small-time horse owners showed up on Tuesday in search of bargains, pay days and in the case of "Valitar" trick rider Christine Zerbini-Kumisbayev, maybe a little closure.
"A lot of memories," said Zerbini-Kumisbayev, who came to take one last look at the show that did not go on.
What happens when an equestrian dream goes bust? A few hundred people cram into what used to be the concession tent (sold for $24,000) to pick up the drastically reduced pieces. Here is a look at "Valitar's" ride into the fiscal sunset.
Nobody here but us early birds: The auction started at 10 a.m., but for diligent types who didn't want to bid on their horse accessories and showbiz accouterments sight unseen, the tent doors opened at 8:30 a.m. for a pre-auction preview. Vista horse-owner Cathy Dameron and her shopping buddies — sister Mariann Baldwin and their friend Teri Ardito — were the first in line, and they loved what they saw. A little too much, probably.
"The big ranchers are probably going to snap everything up," Dameron said wistfully, circling the stack of rubber floor mats that she and her friends were eyeing for their stables. "They've got the capital. We're just small fries."
As it happens, "Valitar" was always a little rich for Dameron's blood. Even before it went bankrupt.
"We would have loved to have come to the show," Dameron said as the trio wandered toward the stable tent to ogle the horse pens. "But it was rather pricey."
In the end, she bought 40 folding chairs for $7 apiece. The chairs are bound for the Vista Palomar Riders club, and she has a hunch about where the rubber mats went.
"One guy bought every rubber mat there was," she said by phone a few hours later. "I'll just have to look for them on Craigslist."
Tents R Us: What kind of stuff are equestrian epics made of? Wood beams for sand containment (sold for $800). Feed buckets (nine for $45). An X Blue Networks phone system ($900). Portable horse stalls ($750 each).
The horses were not for sale, but almost every other cog in the "Valitar" machine was. And with lightning-tongued auctioneers in charge, it all went quickly. Starting with the tents, which reportedly cost $2.5 million new.

Passionate For Paso - 2006 West Coast Kustoms Crusin' NationalsWritten by on September 11, 2006 Livin' it up at West Coast Kustoms' Cruisin' Nats
Loyal custom and hot rod fans recently gathered once again in Paso Robles, California, at West Coast Kustoms' Cruisin' Nationals to celebrate with the vehicles that make their pulse rates quicken and shift into high gear. Over the years this event has grown from a small number of custom fans getting together to an event crossing many different styles and generations, yet remaining completely true to its traditional roots.
Unlike some unfocused events, the Paso Robles gathering brings together hot rods and customs, as well as their loyal fans who all share a love for everything traditional. Whether it be wild '60s show rods, nose-up gassers, fresh-off-the-lakebed early hot rods, or purebred customs, it all can be found throughout the weekend at Paso. Kicking back in the park listening to live music or cruising the vendors checking out everything you need for the rod and custom lifestyle is all a part of Paso. Throw in several hundred cars and it's easy to see why this has turned into a must-do event.

Warwood Residents Keep Up Opposition to Frack Water Plant
May 8, 2013
WHEELING — Relentless in their efforts to keep frack water from being recycled in Warwood, neighborhood residents on Tuesday handed Wheeling City Council a petition bearing the signatures of more......
@reality - calls the Warwood kid's statement 'bunk' and sneers at the residents (uhhh...it's a RESIDENTIAL COMMUNITY) not needing work and they can go back to strumming banjos.
Obviously 'reality' does need the work the out-of-state environmental rapists have in mind. Wonder if it's as a 4 buck an hour 'greeter' at the Poison Dump they plan. Or, is Reality in even 'deeper' to these interlopers.

Injection wells are leaking and quaking and the waste is very toxic..there are many types of industrial projects. I would suggest that such a toxic project would be wrong for a populated suburb and also so close to a river used for municipal water systems.Texas has cancers and no water to even plant rice crops(2nd year.

In the December 20, 2012, edition of Martinsburg, WV's "The Journal", you can find the article "Emperor Has No Gas Boom", by Sean O'Leary. In it, you will discover that in four WV counties, including Marshall and Wetzel, for instance, where most of the shale gas drilling activity has so far taken place, unemployment has actually risen since 2005, from, on average, 4.4 to 6.9 percent. Since 2008, only 916 gas industry jobs have been added statewide for WV residents, and many of those could be temporary. Severance taxes in 2012 were no higher than they were in 2008. The 12 jobs at the proposed frack water treatment plant will be temporary, but the hazards it could introduce into your environment could be permanent. You are being sold out with a deliberately-crafted, and false, illusion of opportunity and economic growth.

We just can't let this pass without further comment. The suggestion in this article, the concept being insinuated, is that liquid wastes in barges, containing Heaven knows what, would, in case of accident, pose less of a risk to liquid water supplies than would solid Coal, solid Coal that would simply float away, solid Coal, for any of you on well water, many small seams of which are embedded in the rock beneath your feet, that your drinking water has been flowing down through forever. What utter, towering, obfuscating rubbish. You are being blatantly hoodwinked.

How, in the world, could "liquid waste taken by barge for disposal at one of several deep injection wells", liquid waste that might be contaminated with radium, pose "far less of a threat to the drinking water supply than other materials such as" solid "coal that are shipped on inland waterways"? Keep in mind: This stuff is so bad it has to be disposed of in "deep injection wells". And, they're actually thinking about letting is sail by your city drinking water intake? It is madness.

Here again more questions than answers from this industry. Hydrochloric acid from fraking is less toxic than hydrochloric acid currently being transported on barges? Bromide from fraking interfering with water treatment to produce trihalomethanes, known cancer causing agents in our drinking water is less toxic than coal on barges? I hope these guys bring somebody knowledgeable with them to the "hearing."

- Super cool vents pull cool, fresh air into the helmet while pushing out heat and stale air
- Stack vent in helmet aligns with center vent on your goggles to keep the clear and fog-free
- Weatherstrip vent shields can be rolled out of the way on warmer days and secured with hook-and-loop tabs; no more easy-to-lose vent plugs
- Compatible with TuneUps audio systems (sold separately)

Too cold and breezy for a real winter.
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
The cloth vent covers on the inside of the helmet are useless when it's really cold, the cold air just blows through. In the early spring when there is melt water from the lifts dripping down on your helmet, the water goes through the cloth vent covers and you've got a wet head. Once you're at the top of the mountain you've either got ice in your hair if it's freezing on top or you get a really cold head as you blast down the mountain. I had the older style helmet Giro Nine.NIne before this one, it had a rubberized sheet that plugged all the vent holes. I never once removed that sheet in ten years of use. I wouldn't buy another helmet with vents in, you don't need the venting, it's just a gimmick. I board 35+ days each season. Other than the vent issue, the internal sizing system works well.

I am looking to buy my first helmet, would this be a good option?
Lexi Dowdall, Employee
Hey Cody,
GOOD CALL! I resisted getting a helmet for so long, but now I actually hate riding without it. This is definitely a solid bet. Some things to consider when grabbing a helmet will be ventilation, audio compatibility, and weight. I personally love a helmet with a visor because they tend to fit a wider range of goggles, and you can prop your goggles upon them in between runs if needed. It will simply come down to personal preference. Happy shreddin.
Definitely get a helmet, it's not you but someone else that will cause you to go down hard and smash your head. Go to all the sports shops in your community; close your eyes and try on every helmet you possibly can. Then buy the one that feels the best on your head, irregardless of the colour or what your friends are wearing. Avoid vented helmets unless there's a mechanical vent closing device. I've wouldn't recommend the Giro Ten.Ten. I've been boarding 15 years, 35+ days per season.
Each helmet fits differently. You really need to go to a store and try them on first. My husband tried on 6 different helmets and some had gaps between his helmet and ears, some didnt fit right with goggles on. On a different note, my kids and i have giro helmets and we love them.
Very Comfy & Secure
- Gender: Male
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Used this on a 5-day trip to Japan, and it's a very comfortable and snug fit without being too overly tight (I'm wearing a Medium for my 58cm noggin). As for the vents being "adjustable", you can't do it on the go... i.e. you've to take it off and adjust the flaps attached to the helmet liner to block or unblock the vents. Not an issue for me as I have the flaps out to block the vents most times and I don't overheat. Overall, this helmet's good enough for its intended purpose.
Good Enough
- Gender: Female
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
Bought this Helmet on sale thinking it was the same Giro helmet as my last (which I was thankfully wearing when I landed on my head and suffered a concussion). Unfortunately, the vents don't open and close like my first helmet. Unless I'm missing something the way to open the vents is to remove the fabric/material inside the helmet versus my other Giro helmet had a simple lever you could move from one side to the other. it does the job it's supposed to so I guess that's good. Wish they would have been more clear about how "adjustable" the vents were...
Comfortable but enormous
- Gender: Male
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
This isn't a bad helmet. I'm sure it does what it's intended to do, and luckily I've never had to put that to the test. My complaint is how stinking huge this thing is. You will look and feel like a bobblehead.
On the plus side, it's highly adjustable. It's comfortable at first, but the ear covers start to hurt after a full day of skiing. Don't depend on the back adjustment to make up for an oversized helmet, though. If you're in-between sizes, I'd recommend you find another helmet.
Like Eric, I found this helmet aesthetically wanting. It's a fine entry level helmet for the price (esp. if you can nab it on sale), but it just feels really bulky and I found myself wearing it less and less. Also, if you have longer hair it does tend to get caught in the helmet liner material from time to time...
Good entry-level helmet
- Gender: Male
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
This is my first ski helmet, and I feel it is good for what it is: an entry-level helmet. I bought this during Black Friday and for the price, I'm very happy. Yes there are better helmets, but at a higher cost. You get what you pay for, and I feel this is a good value. I agree with some of the other posters about the annoyances adjusting the vents. I've gone skiing with it 5 times so far, and it is comfortable enough and has protected me. I recommend you try this on in a store before ordering, helmet sizing can be tricky to find the right comfort level.
The circumference of my head is almost...
The circumference of my head is almost exactly 55.5cm. Would I be better off buying the Small size or the Medium size?
If your head is wide side to side then go a size up...otherwise I suggest taking a chance with the smaller size.

BIG BONUS today was meeting Eamon (in Seattle) and his Electra-X riding brother (my old brain thinks his name is Kevin, but I could be wrong ... sorry). Eamon had his iron barrel there, too. I wish I had my camera to capture a Three-Gen photo. Next time for sure!
Dang, I missed this earlier. It was great meeting you as well! Hopefully we can get some Enfields together again before too long. It was fun seeing my iron barrel Deluxe, Kevin's AVL Electra, and your C5 all in a row. Kind of like a family portrait!Eamonps - maybe we'll see you at Backfire one of these days? Actually, i think this month's one is tonight!
Dang, sorry I didn't know about the meeting (in Ballard, right?). I'll get on their mail list or find out when the events are. Dry cool weather tonight would have been a fun but short run. I put some Klotz synth oil in on Sunday (bought it from Nfieldgear) and a new filter (said Purolator on the end of it, it did). Looking forward to the new muffler.
After a great sunny day 70-mile ride today on my C5, I stopped at the Seattle dealer and ordered the upswept muffler. I like the sound and the looks. Any advice for a "fool" proof install will be appreciated! FWIW,Royal Enfield Seattle (aka Ducati Seattle) is now an island of sorts since the city started a 3-year project to alleviate traffic woes from the I-5 freeway to the Seattle Center (think Space Needle). There's also sewer work to, in part, pave the way for the new Google and Microsoft buildings there. The only way to the shop is in the back alley after going by a street closed sign and then into their garage down the ramp. It was a ghost town there yesterday and today.
If there´s an air leak you should tighten the bolts. Carefully and evenly left and right. Before you do that, however, it´s probably a good idea to drive a couple of kilometers to allow the parts wobbling together to avoid restraint.Unfortunately the photo doesn´t allow a statement about the correct angle, but usually the gasket is flexible enough to forgive smaller inaccuracies.The silencer looks nice btw!

Too Much Family Togetherness?
On every street corner at this time of year, I see small inter-generational huddles: grandparents, parents, and kids, together for the holidays. Shopping for last minute presents, walking the neighborhood, stopping at the fudge shop on the corner. Everyone is bundled up, looking like colorful postcards of families happy to be together as Christmas inches closer.
But behind closed doors, and inside each person's head, I know the snapshot gets a lot more…complicated. The holidays bring us all together, and all this togetherness brings up a lot of parenting issues. Especially since we parent so differently than most of our parents did.
On Michel Martin's "Tell Me More" show on NPR, I recently dug into the complexity facing parents today when multiple generations get a little too heavy a dose of togetherness.
The issues on my side were always pretty heavy: my mom (now deceased) was an active alcoholic and my husband and I had to draw some extremely clear boundaries. We had to explain to the kids when they were very young - under five - what alcoholism was, and why Grams acted so strangely sometimes. Separately, my father was pretty much an an absentee grandfather, and we had to explain to our kids why he wasn't around.

COLLEGE PARK, Md. (WUSA) -- The oldest operating airport in the world is located in Prince George's County. It's College Park Airport, made famous by a Wright Brother in the early 1900's.
In Friday's Extra Mile report, Monika Samtani tells us the airport now houses award-winning local police officers as well. The hanger serves as a second home for the aviation unit of the Prince George's County Police Department. During their 10-hour long shifts they are the eyes in the sky helping out the ground troops from Air 1, one of the quietest helicopters, which goes from 0 to 120 mph in under 10 seconds. They use thermal images from a mounted camera to help them see...and they have won awards for their surveillance work.
Find out more in the video above.
The awards are given at the Airborne Law Enforcement Convention in Nevada. This year the crew was also given $1,000 to donate to a charity of their choice, and the officers chose HEROES, Inc., to help D.C. area families of law enforcement officers who have died in the line of duty.

|PC Event Center set to get new security cameras
|Written by Darci Tomky
Phillips County Commissioners approved the purchase of security cameras for the Phillips County Event Center, as reported at their April 26 meeting.
Eleven cameras were purchased from Super Circuits in Texas for approximately $3,600.
Commissioners reported the second phase of the Homesteaders Park project was scheduled to begin this week. The enhancement project includes sprinklers, fencing, curb/gutter, parking lot and electrical lights.
Phillips County recreation department has $30,000 for use within the county. The funds will be split evenly with the Phillips County Fairgrounds, the east side of the county and the west side of the county each receiving $10,000 for improvements as they see fit. Commissioners will make the final approval on the projects.
Also in April, the county received its roll-off truck with 10 containers for use in the county. The cost to use the roll-off containers is $200 a box with a $50 initial delivery fee and $20 for each additional container needed, plus whatever it costs to take the materials to the landfill.
Commissioners reported Centennial Ag had applied for a conditional use permit to put large fertilizer storage tanks on Rusty Triplette's property east of town. At the commissioners' concern that the area is in a flood plane, Centennial Ag decided not to store the tanks there, but will just be using the quonset (currently Jake's Feed) for a storefront and to house some products.
Judy Weimer was recently appointed Phillips County deputy coroner.

STEUBENVILLE - The offense was efficient, the defense rock solid and Big Red cruised to a 28-0 victory against Maysville in an Ohio Division III, Region 11 quarterfinal Saturday at Harding Stadium.
Big Red's offense rolled to 421 yards (284 on the ground and 137 via the air). Dashon Redman continued his late season run, compiling 129 yards on 14 carries. During the past four games, he has rushed for 530 yards. Donte Brown added 115 on 13 trips.
Meanwhile, the defense was downright nasty. Maysville finished with just 70 yards of offense and six first downs. The Panthers were forced to punt on nine of their 11 possessions.
The victory moves Reno Saccoccia's club to 9-2. Big Red, now 47-21 all-time in playoff games, will battle Millersburg West Holmes in the regional quarterfinals.
"Every win is a great win," Saccoccia said. "I loved the way they played; they played tough. We got some breaks and we took advantage of them. But, we have to fix the penalties and the turnovers."
Big Red was hit with 10 penalties for 100 yards. In addition, they lost two fumbles, one coming in the Maysville end zone.
After the defense forced the first Maysville punt of the evening, the Big Red offense went to work. Starting at its own 27, the region's third-seeded club marched 73 yards in nine plays. The touchdown came when Redman got loose on a toss sweep and motored 45 yards. After Big Red was hit with a 15-yard penalty for unsportsmanlike conduct, Luke Smith's 35-yard extra point attempt was blocked.
The second score came after Maysville coach Craig Clarke decided to gamble on fourth and five at his own 26. Justin Wilson's pass was tipped at the line of scrimmage and fell incomplete. Three plays later, Corey Stinson floated one to a wide open Eric Robinson and Big Red was up 12-0. The pass play covered 24 yards. Robinson and Stinson also hooked up for the two-point conversion.
Big Red's defense came through with a huge effort late in the second quarter to thwart Maysville's best scoring chance of the night. The Panthers had first and goal at the nine after Brandon Bush stripped Stinson of the football. Big Red was hit with a defensive holding penalty on the initial Maysville play, moving the pigskin to the five. The Big Red "D" forced a fumble on what appeared to be an end around pass, preserving the first half shutout.
Steubenville took the second half kickoff and moved 81 yards in five plays. Stinson hit Matt Petrella for 50 yards before Redman reeled off runs of four, five and four. The third score came when Stinson found a wide open Petrella from 18 yards away. Smith added the extra point.
The final touchdown came midway through the final period, Brown plowing in from three yards away. Smith again nailed the conversion try.
Stinson completed 10 of his 17 passing attempts. Petrella was on the receiving end of five for 79.
"We ran the ball very well and we passed it very well at times," Saccoccia said. "We've got to work on protecting, we just have to protect better. And, we have to stop the penalties on offense.
"Our offensive line is improving. We're not where we want to be but we have made substantial progress."
Teshawn Luke along with Robert Hayden and Camron King recorded sacks for the Big Red defense. Hayden and Charles Keenan both recorded tackles for losses. All five Maysville possessions in the second half ended with punts.
"The defense played great," Saccoccia noted. "Every Wing T team is a little different. We had to find out what they did best and take it away. You always want to try and make every offense you face play left-handed.
"Our defensive line also is improving. Early on, we weren't getting lined up as quick as I would like, but we were able to fix that."
Looking ahead to the quarterfinals, Saccoccia knows one area where his team needs to improve.
"We've got to fix the penalties," he stressed. "If we don't fix them, we're not going any further."

Building Cardiac Tissue from Stem Cells and Natural Matrices
Congestive heart failure afflicts 4.8 million people, with 400,000 new cases each year. Myocardial infarction (MI), also known as a "heart attack", leads to a loss of cardiac tissue and impairment of left ventricular function. Because the heart does not contain a significant number of multiplying stem, precursor, or reserve cells, it is unable to effectively heal itself after injury and the heart tissue eventually becomes scar tissue. The subsequent changes in the workload of the heart may, if the scar is large enough, deteriorate further leading to congestive heart failure. Many stem cell strategies are being explored for the regeneration of heart tissue, however; full cardiac tissue repair will only become possible when two critical areas of tissue regeneration are addressed: 1) the generation of a sustainable, purified source of functional cardiac progenitors and 2) employment of cell delivery methods leading to functional integration with host tissue. This proposal will explore both of these 2 critical areas towards the development of a living cardiac patch material that will enable the regeneration of scarred hearts.
The research proposed in expected to result in new techniques and methodology for the differentiation of stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes and delivery methods optimal for therapeutic repair of scarred heart tissue after a heart attack. The citizens of California could benefit from this research in three ways. The most significant impact would be in the potential potential for new medical therapies to treat a large medical problem. The second benefit is in the potential for these technologies to bring new usiness ventures to the state of California. The third benefit is the stem cell training of the students and postdocs involved in this study.
The proposed project aims to develop cardiac tissue for enhancing the regeneration of damaged heart. The progress in the first year involved generation of cardiac cells from stem cells, developing fabrication techniques for stem cell differentiation, and exporing cell interactions with various biodegradable materials.
Progress towards developing heart tissue for repairing damaged/diseaesed hearts includes stem cell differentiation towards cells that make up heart tissue and blood vessels, optimization of methods for cell expansion and cell-cell integration to generate functional tissues, and preliminary investigations of delivery materials fabrication.
We have optimized cardiac cell numbers from embyronic stem cells and generated a cardiac patch for delivery of these cardiac cells into damaged myocardium.
The aims for this study are to 1) develop methods for generating highly efficient numbers of cardiovascular cells from stem cells, and then 2) develop methods for packaging the cells into tissue-like implantable materials for repair of dead tissue following a heart attack. The final aim 3) was to examine the repair/restorative ability of the developed product in a damaged animal heart.
This year (4th year of the grant) was very productive. We have highly efficient methods for generating both heart (70% purity) and blood vessel cells (90% purity) and have developed a sophisticated design for packaging these into heart tissue-like materials. The animal studies are underway and initial data is promising.
The aim of this research proposal was to develop cardiac tissue for heart repair. Aim 1 focused on the generation of cardiac cells from stem cells. Aim 2 looks at biomaterials and patterning for building the complex multicellular integrated tissue. Aim 3 examined the ability of these tissues to repair a damaged heart. During this last year of the grant, we have successfully generate large numbers of cardiac cells from stem cells and have generated "sheets" of these cardiac cells. The animal studies on the cell injections and material injection show some success in the repair of heart tissue, but expect that the fully integrated heart tissue, once implanted, will be superior to cells or material alone.

I mean seriously... I leave this afternoon to go shoot a little scotch doubles tourney. I get back some odd 13 hours later and log on as usual.
I see 89 new posts. Out of 89 new posts there is but one actual worthwhile post containing some sort of information (thank you Q for the video).
The rest is dribble. Seriously, wasting my time on 88 other useless non informative posts.
Y'all can bash Gayle as much as you want, but at least she tries and attempts to put something useful in her posts... granted it is oft repeated in several threads... but at least there is content there. Whether we may agree or not, it's more than to two letter abbreviation minus the one letter... or more than the typical one liner.
And then we have Wolfie, who chimes in from time to time but at the very least he throws in some nice humor and originality in his posts.
Hondo... well Lord love him but he's just too busy trying to defend himself, so I can't fault him there.
Sofla is a breath of fresh air from the left, who obviously goes through great effort to not only post topics but also reply to every single little thing that gets responded to him as well. I've grown to respect his intellect as well as be baffled at his patience.
Otherwise... wow... I gotta say this site has become a waste of time. To be brutally honest, I think out leftist brethren as a whole has done the most to post useful information. Steve does OK when he's not following Gayle. Same for Ed who is around few and far between these days. I won't leave myself out, as I'm not on here often... but in my few appearances it has been chatting with Gayle (generally in useful debate at least).
Otherwise, Dub your climb to the top of the posting list may be admirable... but you know you did it cheaply. You CAN post some great info and when you apply yourself you go toe to toe in some good debates.... but replying to yourself repeatedly to get there was beneath you. Sorry, but I watched it... you woulda got there in a few months time anyway just doing what you were doing.
I forget which one of "us" keeps saying "PO..." but really? Is that doing anyone any good?
Anyway, I'm just venting. But I miss the days when CC (RIP) and 9BG and everyone else was on here. Only a few of us around now were here to remember those good ol' days. But yes, there was a time when I'd log on and see 89 new posts, and damn near all 89 were worth reading.
Unfortunately that is not our board any longer. So props to Gayle, Q, Sofla, and sometimes LWW (when he posts a good topic). I know I could do more myself... but in all honesty our left-leaning people have been the most informative and useful posters on this board anymore. Even when I disagree with them, at least there is something there to disagree with. Which is (by and large) more than I can say for us righties.

Buzzword of the Week: Drive
Once a clearly defined term that meant "to use force to compel or control a physical thing," drive has become one of the most insidious and overused buzzwords in the lexicon. Often now, what's being driven is intangible, and the mechanics of what's doing the driving are a mystery. So, who's driving this buzzword train, anyway?

Born in 1972 in London, England, Tom Hooper started making short films around age 12, featuring his mother and the family pet. He studied English at Oxford University, where he also directed plays and television commercials. Hooper's directorial debut, the short film "Painted Faces" (Channel 4, 1992), was about an artist who was terrorized by one of his paintings that came to life. Only a few short years later, Hooper directed the family drama "Byker Grove" (BBC, 1989-2006), which followed the lives and loves of a youth club. He went on to direct the romantic-comedy series "Cold Feet" (iTV, 1997-2003), which many critics described as the British version of the widely popular sitcom, "Friends... Continue Bio >>

1969 Holley Project Road Runner, Part XIWritten by on March 1, 2001 Contributors: Brad Ocock, John Balow The Final Details And Key Sources Of The Holley Project Road Runner
The mark of any completed project is the attention to details. It was John Balow's attention to detail that urged us to consider him as the project captain on the Holley Project Road Runner. We were duly impressed with his '64 Race Hemi-powered Plymouth that graced our April 1999 cover ("Understated," pg. 28). Once we had seen that, we knew there was only one source that could deliver the car on time and on budget with pure musclecar styling and modern performance engineering.
Much of this car came down to the last month. Not only did John maintain perfect body-panel gaps, but he also handled everything from the installation of the restoration components---the majority of which were supplied by Year One--to the hot-rod street-performance components.
Next month you'll see the final results, but for now, we want to show you some of the minor details that make this Road Runner a major success.

Certainly the aid of Cytech's Double2Park lift assisted the staff at Muscle Car Restorations in the final assembly of the Holley Project Road Runner. Yes, those rare bumperettes were on the original 383 Road Runner that we began with!While they carry a Hooker medallion, credit goes to Balow and his crew at Muscle Car Restorations, who fabricated the headers for the raised exhaust-port Indy Cylinder Head alloy heads. Armed with a series of U-bends and flanges from Holley Performance Products' Hooker brand, John crafted the headers that were first trial fit and then sent to HPC for their proprietary thermal barrier coating.With the headers and the remainder of the drivetrain in place, John Balow took the Road Runner to a local exhaust shop where a mandrel-bent exhaust system that exits below the bumper was installed. The exhaust note comes via Flowtech mufflers, a Holley Performance Parts brand.For an authentic musclecar appearance, Balow used Stainless Steel Exhaust tips. They offer a wide variety of Mopar exhaust tips, so call them to determine whether they have a style you need.From the beginning, Ken Lazzeri of Indy Cylinder Head was all for the Holley 950 cfm Pro Series carburetor (PN 80497). This lightning-quick vacuum secondary carb is fed by a full Holley/Earl's fuel system.To gain perfect throttle operation, Balow turned to purveyor of street-rod linkages, Lokar Industries, for their ultra-trick throttle-cable system that links the carburetor to the accelerator pedal.
Concours Creations provided a concours-correct wiper motor. Perfect for a 100-point show Mopar or a 600-horsepower big-block hot rod, it's another distinctive component for all Mopars.Off-the-shelf components were matched with ace fabrication to fit the Vintage Air R134a air-conditioning system. This photograph shows the compact size of the aftermarket system.Another hand-crafted part was the accessory drive system. Balow and his crew fabricated it with straightforward bracketry and V-groove pulleys.Vintage Air's system included these dash-mounted controls that look right at home in the austere Mopar interior adjacent to the wiper and washer controls.Again, the new technology was blended with the old. Here's the Powermaster high-amp alternator and the routing of the V-drive belts.AutoMeter gauges, including a steering-column-mounted tachometer, round out the instruments monitoring the big 542ci Mopar Wedge engine built by Indy Cylinder Head.Right out of the Holley trick parts bin came the Holley Annihilator Race Cell battery. Small and light, it fit perfectly up front, eliminating the need for relocation to the trunk. Note the Tor-Red valve covers that match the PPG hues on the body panels.Auto Vision Center of Eau Claire, Wisconsin, is one of John's long-standing subcontractors. They provided a polished and properly tinted windshield for the Road Runner as well as polished side and rear glass.

Hiring rights
And more news briefs
President Barack Obama's administration has sat on the fence regarding the liberty of religious institutions to hire and fire based on religious beliefs. One sign that it's coming off the fence came in the Supreme Court building on Oct. 5 when Leondra Kruger of the Justice Department argued that religious institutions should be treated just like other institutions in matters of hiring.
Kruger's argument shocked the justices in what was already a blockbuster religious freedom case, Hosanna-Tabor v. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (see "Firing lines," Oct. 8). "This is extraordinary-extraordinary," Justice Antonin Scalia told Kruger during oral arguments. "There in black and white in the Constitution are special protections for religion." One of the liberal justices jumped in on Scalia's side: "I too find this amazing," said Justice Elena Kagan.
The facts of the case seemed to agitate Justice Anthony Kennedy, often a swing vote on the court. Cheryl Perich was a church-commissioned teacher at Hosanna-Tabor, a church and school in Redford, Mich., affiliated with the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod (LCMS). When a doctor diagnosed her with narcolepsy, a sleep disorder that may leave sufferers falling asleep on the job, she took a leave of absence. When she asked to return to work, school officials said she wasn't ready. When she said she would sue, the church withdrew her commission and fired her for going to courts instead of the church's established tribunals, as LCMS teaching requires.
The Supreme Court has never before ruled on who falls under the "ministerial exception," a court-created law protecting religious institutions from federal oversight, and all of the justices seemed troubled that courts were deciding who counted as a minister and who didn't. Several liberal and conservative justices treated the government's position against the ministerial exception as radical, but Kennedy commented, "She was fired simply for asking for a hearing." Douglas Laycock, the church's attorney, responded, "She could have had a hearing in the synod."
Decision stands
The U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear an appeal of a case concerning World Vision's policy to hire Christians only, so the 2010 ruling of the 9th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals in favor of World Vision stands. The high court's decision means that World Vision can continue requiring its employees to agree to a statement of faith. World Vision fired three employees for not agreeing to the statement of faith: The three sued, arguing that the organization was humanitarian, not religious, but lower courts said World Vision qualifies as a religious organization. "Our Christian faith has been the foundation of our work since the organization was established in 1950, and our hiring policy is vital to the integrity of our mission to serve the poor as followers of Jesus Christ," said World Vision president Richard Stearns, in a statement after the Supreme Court's decision.
It started out as little more than street theater, but throughout the first week of October the Occupy Wall Street movement grew into what The New Republic called "a younger, dreadlocked version of the Tea Party."
With declared complaints against corporations that ranged from the sound ("They have taken bailouts from taxpayers with impunity, and continue to give Executives exorbitant bonuses") to the misdirected ("They have held students hostage with tens of thousands of dollars of debt on education"), nearly 700 protesters were arrested on Oct. 2 as they shut down a lane of traffic on the Brooklyn Bridge.
As liberal journalists gave Occupy Wall Street favorable publicity, an Oct. 5 Rasmussen poll found that 33 percent of Americans have a favorable view of the protesters, 27 percent hold an unfavorable view, and 40 percent have no opinion.
Off the farm
Hundreds of children avoided Alabama public schools and acres of crops went unpicked after an Alabama judge on Sept. 28 upheld most of the state's new immigration law. The law-considered the strictest clampdown on illegal immigration in the nation-requires public schools to record the immigration status of new students, allows police to check immigration status during routine traffic stops, and requires employers to verify the legal status of their laborers.
Many apparently illegal laborers fled, leaving many Alabama farmers shorthanded during the crucial harvest season. Chad Smith-a tomato farmer near Chandler Mountain-said he would normally use 12 trucks in harvesting his fields, but only had the workers for three. Smith estimated his family farm could lose up to $150,000 this season because of a lack of laborers. Many others fear losing their crops or their farms.
Show scrubbed
The Playboy Club only survived until its third episode after NBC canceled the new show amid weak ratings and intense criticism of the prime-time series, which was based on the Playboy nightclubs Hugh Hefner started in the 1960s. It marks the first cancellation of the fall season and a victory for family groups like the Parents Television Council (PTC) that aggressively protested it.
Prior to the show's launch, PTC had called on the network to cancel the drama while urging advertisers to reconsider their support for it. "Bringing The Playboy Club to broadcast television was a poor programming decision from the start," said PTC president Tim Winter. "We're pleased that NBC will no longer be airing a program so inherently linked to a pornographic brand that denigrates and sexualizes women."
Precision policy
Ahead of the 10th anniversary of the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan, the U.S. embassy in Kabul issued an alert to U.S. citizens working in the country, following the U.S. attack in Yemen that killed al-Qaeda leader Anwar al-Awlaki. His death-plus the capture in Afghanistan of a commander of the al-Qaeda and Taliban-linked Haqqani clan-had U.S. forces braced for reprisal attacks on American targets.
NATO forces announced that they had captured Haji Mali Khan in a joint raid with Afghan forces just a day after al-Awlaki's death in Yemen at the hands of a CIA-directed drone. On Oct. 4, days after Khan's capture, U.S. forces killed a principal deputy to Khan known by one name, Dilawar, in a precision air strike near Afghanistan's border with Pakistan. Targeted killings have been increasingly used by the Obama administration, especially since the May raid that killed Osama bin Laden in Pakistan.
U.S. officials blame the Haqqani network, based in Pakistan, for recent attacks in Afghanistan, including last month's 20-hour siege at the U.S. embassy in Kabul. Last week the outgoing chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff, Adm. Mike Mullen, accused Pakistan's spy agency, the ISI, of supporting the Haqqani network in carrying out the attacks, the most serious allegation yet of Pakistani duplicity in the 10-year war. Commanders in Afghanistan called the capture "a significant milestone in the disruption of the Haqqani Network."
The death of Awlaki, who was born in New Mexico and had dual citizenship with the United States and Yemen, dealt a blow to al-Qaeda plans to rely on homegrown U.S. terrorists. Along with Awlaki, the drone attack also killed terrorist Samir Khan-who was born in Saudi Arabia but grew up in New York and North Carolina and held U.S. citizenship. Having conspired over multiple acts of terrorism, Awlaki and Khan "gave up the benefits of American citizenship by taking up arms against their country," points out analyst Max Boot.
Courageous fighter
Rev. Fred Shuttlesworth, a Baptist pastor and civil rights leader who survived bombings and beatings in Birmingham, Ala., died Oct. 5 at the age of 89. Shuttlesworth helped found the Southern Christian Leadership Conference and joined Martin Luther King Jr. in advocating nonviolence in the civil rights movement. His children were arrested, a bomb exploded under his bedroom, and he was hospitalized after falling under the fire hoses of the infamous Eugene "Bull" Connor. Connor said after the incident, "I wish they'd carried him away in a hearse." King described Shuttlesworth as "the most courageous civil rights fighter in the South."
Following the money
Democrats are complaining about Republicans in the House of Representatives investigating the activities of abortion leader Planned Parenthood, which annually receives about $350 million in government grants-but when Democrats had a majority of House seats and could schedule investigations, they went after pro-life centers that live by volunteer labor rather than federal funding.
Last month Rep. Cliff Stearns, R-Fla., chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Investigations, sent Planned Parenthood Federation of America a six-page letter requesting more than a decade of documents. He is attempting to determine whether the group is illegally using federal funds to pay for abortions. Stearns' committee will also investigate other alleged abuses, including failure to report cases of statutory rape and sex trafficking.
Two senior Democrats, Reps. Henry Waxman of California and Diana DeGette of Colorado, responded to Stearns by arguing that the investigation singles out Planned Parenthood as "part of a Republican vendetta." Waxman in 2006 led an investigation of pro-life pregnancy care centers and claimed the centers provide "false and misleading information." Pro-life groups debunked Waxman's report.
Life on the line
As Iranian pastor Youcef Nadarkhani waited to learn whether he would face execution for refusing to recant his Christian faith, his attorney reported a troubling new development: Iran's state-run news agency began leveling new charges against Nadarkhani, accusing the pastor of being a Zionist and a threat to national security.
Attorney Mohammed Ali Dadkhah said the post-trial claims were the first time he heard such accusations against his client. Religious freedom groups worried that the Iranian government created the new charges to justify a death sentence, even as international pressure mounted for the pastor's release.
Police arrested Nadarkhani in October 2009 on charges related to his work as a pastor. A court found Nadarkhani-a husband and father of two children-guilty of apostasy against Islam and sentenced him to death by hanging. Nadarkhani, 32, appealed to the Iranian Supreme Court, where justices demanded he recant his faith. The pastor refused, saying: "What should I return to? The blasphemy that I had before my faith in Christ?" When the judges said he should return to Islam, Nadarkhani's reply was simple: "I cannot."

Sunil Mittal's Bharti Enterprises and Walmart today said they are parting ways to operate retail stores independently in India, ending speculation over the future of their six-year-old partnership.
The US retail major will buy out its Indian partner in their 50:50 cash-and-carry joint venture Bharti Walmart, which runs 20 wholesale stores under the Best Price Modern Wholesale brand in India, for an undisclosed sum.
Bharti will acquire USD 100 million of Compulsory Convertible Debentures (CCDs) held by Walmart in Cedar Support Services, a company owned and controlled by the Indian firm. It will continue to run its 'easyday' retail stores on its own.
In a joint statement, the companies said they have reached an agreement to independently own and operate separate business formats in India and discontinue their franchise agreement in the retail business.
The agreement is subject to finalisation of definitive agreements and requisite regulatory approvals, it said.
Bharti Enterprises Vice Chairman and MD Rajan Bharti Mittal said: "Bharti is committed to building a world-class retail venture and will continue to invest in Bharti Retail across all formats. We believe that with our current footprint of 212 stores, we have a strong platform to significantly grow the business..."
Walmart said it plans to continue to grow its "business while working with the government and interested stakeholders to create conditions that enable foreign direct investment (FDI) in multi-brand retail."
"Given the circumstances, our decision to operate independently will be beneficial to both parties," Walmart Asia President and CEO Scott Price said.
The two partners joined hands in 2007 and launched their first Best Price Modern Wholesale cash-and-carry store in Amritsar in May 2009.
Asked about the financial details of the separation, a Walmart India spokesperson said: "We are currently working with Bharti to finalise the terms of the agreement and transition arrangement. If and when we reach a definitive agreement on transaction terms, we will provide further financial information as appropriate."
In a separate development, former Walmart India head Raj Jain has been roped in as an advisor by the Bharti group.
Confirming the development, Jain said: "The appointment will be effective soon, but I cannot share the details of my role right now."
While Bharti and Walmart did not specify the reasons for the split, sources said Bharti was getting anxious with Walmart's approach towards
