11th Syracuse Nationals - Cool Cars, Hot HappeningsWritten by Chuck Vranas on February 1, 2011 ... And It's All In Syracuse, New York
When heading off to the 11th Syracuse Nationals it was easy to take in many of the area's sights. Cruising through the Finger Lakes region not only offers some of the finest views, but also the chance to stop by and visit any one of the 60 local wineries. The National Baseball Hall of Fame (a short hop away) in Cooperstown is filled with historical artifacts from when the game first heard the crack of a bat. Syracuse, a city rich in culture, was also the birthplace of the Franklin automobile and currently boasts one of the largest collections of automobile memorabilia at the Museum of Automotive History; complemented by superb architecture, top-notch restaurants, and great nightlife, the area possesses a winning combination.
The New York State Fairgrounds is an enormous facility encompassing 360 acres featuring some of the coolest tree-lined roads, vintage buildings, horse barns, and open-air eateries, evoking plenty of nostalgic charm at every corner. With a show program and map in hand it was time to park your ride and go exploring to check out the hordes of stoke rods, customs, and muscle cars lining every crevice. While planning out your weekend there was plenty to do, starting with the informative tech seminars presented by many of the industry's leading manufacturers, like Meguiar's, Lokar, and Tremec. With hundreds of vendors lining the roadways and filling the interior of the main exhibition hall it was easy to check out technology now available to us. You can always count on the chance to meet some of Hollywood's well-known legends and this year there were plenty of crowds gathered for an opportunity to talk with both Candy Clark and Paul LeMat of American Graffiti fame. Racking up the miles on his new Shadow Rods XL27 roadster pickup, Jerry Dixey and the AMSOIL/STREET RODDER Road Tour rolled into town to greet countless fans who had plenty of interesting questions about his experiences on the road.
This year the team at the Right Coast turned up the heat to bring even more excitement to the weekend. Wanting to create a special signature award for the Syracuse Nationals, a call was placed to legendary car customizer Gene Winfield to help design and create the very prestigious Winfield Award bearing his name. Through an application process, Winfield hand-selected six cars, which were recognized as the Winfield Select Six. Owners arrived from all over the country and Canada to compete for the inaugural award, which was presented by Meguiar's and included a custom-made trophy, jacket, and check for $5,000. When decision time came, Winfield gave the coveted award to Rich and Paige Udell of Swan Lake, Montana, for their '32 Ford roadster "Timeless". With the success of their Old Skool Roundup in years past, a decision was made to extend the get-together from its original one day through the entire weekend, and to also give it a special mini-venue all its own. A huge open-air pavilion hosted the festivities with hundreds of traditional rods and customs grouped together creating a neat cultural experience for both the car owners and visitors. The happening featured its own specialized trophies, vendors, and searing rockabilly music from the amps of bands like Larry Holt & The Good Acoustics, The Pete Paycheck Band, El Kabong, and Glenn Beaman (as Elvis). Another very successful portion of the event is Artie's Party, a massive pinstriping panel jam that brings in some of the finest talents in the country to create unique artwork to be auctioned off for charity.
The Jeep Rocks & Road Tour was also set up at the infield area allowing visitors to sign up and have a chance to testdrive many of their new Jeep vehicles on a controlled off-road course with trained instructors over many of the challenging driving surfaces they prepared.
This all sounds like a pretty full dance card right? Well, as the sun began to set it was time to head out, fuel up, grab a bite, and head back to the grandstands at the fairgrounds to await the kick off of the evening's festivities. Taking nearly a year to organize, the presentation included an endless tire-burning competition, old-timey figure-eight racing, demolition derby, and scorching flamethrowers with jaw-dropping exhibitions of pyrotechnics, which was capped by a dramatic fireworks display. One of the most anticipated portions of the weekend was the endless giveaway program that commenced on Sunday afternoon. A signature of the Syracuse Nationals, crowds of registered attendees gathered at the main stage to see if they might have the magic number in hand to be lucky enough to take home this year's giveaway car: a hopped-up '70 Nova built by Chop-Shop Customs of Woburn, Massachusetts. By the time the excitement ended, it was Spike Furman of Colonie, New York, who was the lucky one with the keys. By the time the extravaganza came to an end, over 7,300 registered cars cruised the fairgrounds while 85,000 visitors came to check out the vibe.
Thanks to the overwhelming support of the Central New York Car Club Association (who host the event) and area service clubs, donations were made from proceeds of the event in the amount of $70,000 (which included $47,478 from the Panel Jam auctions) to a number of local charities bringing the 11-year donation total to $431,000. If you're looking for an event that has it all, mark your calendar now for the 12th anniversary next year because it's sure to be a blast. You can check it all out at www.rightcoastcars.com.

David and Susan Ciappa Lockport, New York '40 Ford pickup
With the fairgrounds packed to the brim with event participants at the Syracuse Nationals, it was a perfect time for STREET RODDER and Ford Racing's recognition of street rodders who install a late-model Ford engine in a Ford hot rod.
Our weekend search led us to David and Susan Ciappa of Lockport, New York, who are our latest award recipients with their dramatic '40 Ford pickup fitted with an SVT 5.4L supercharged crate V-8 linked to a Ford AODE transmission. To get just the right stance, a custom triangulated three-bar rear suspension with RideTech ShockWaves keeps a Currie 9-inch rearend planted while a Heidts IFS with RideTech ShockWaves brings the frontend to the ground. A mirror-straight body was chopped 1-1/2 inches and covered in plenty of PPG Blood Red vibe expertly accenting the custom Dayton wire wheels capped with Falken Z-rated tires. Inside the cab, a pair of black leather Recaro seats and sculpted panels keeps everything comfy while Vintage Air and tunes from Alpine set the mood. Congratulations to David and Susan who will receive a limited-edition jacket as the Best Ford in a Ford award winner.
Tech Tips
Looking at the new 5.0L in the '11 Ford Mustang? While Ford has made big news about the engine being all new and a radical departure from previous modular engines, they did us a huge favor by retaining the same bellhousing pattern and engine mount pattern and placement as the modulars before it. Also, the exhaust spacing is identical, so all we need now is a set of Sanderson headers with the new 5.0L flange and we're in business!
Introducing The Winfield Award
When it came time for the team at the Right Coast to develop a special new event award for the Syracuse Nationals, they looked to one of the most well-recognized customizers in history, Gene Winfield, to be the creative force behind it. Winfield's rich history as a custom car builder and designer dates back to the mid-'40s, and his magnificent creativity has garnered a vast array of memorable cars along the way including the "Reactor", "Jade Idol", and "Maybelline", to name but a few. Candidates for the award from all over the country and Canada submitted an application form along with images of their car (there were 75 applicants) for Winfield to personally review and make a selection of what was known as the "Winfield Select Six" to compete for the Winfield Award. Each of the finalists, upon arrival to the show, received a customized plaque, jacket, and $500 award. The winner was announced Saturday evening at the annual Syracuse Nationals dinner dance where they received the Etrick Enterprises-designed trophy from Winfield as well as a one-off jacket and check for $5,000 from Meguiar's, the award presenter. This year it was Rich and Paige Udell of Swan Lake, Montana, whose '32 roadster "Timeless" took home the inaugural honors. With the uniqueness of this very special award, we can easily see the applications for consideration continue to grow in the future.

 Slammed mercilessly with its bags dumped, Eric Gonzalves' '54 has plenty of attitude.

A single exhaust pipe, chrome hairpins, red-pleated interior, and custom-rolled aluminum pans round out the package.Lenny Biondi, Randolph, MA / '36 Ford roadster
 The Sebastian Rubbo roadster has been on the scene since 1946. Its memorable look comes from the combination of a sectioned '37 Ford truck grille, front cycle fenders, and a 6-inch channel. Sabie amassed over 450,000 miles in the car canvassing the country. It was restored by Lenny Biondi who has already put 10,000 miles down, continuing the tradition.
Congratulations to David and Susan Ciappa and welcome to the exclusive group of rodders who have received Best Ford in a Ford honors for their accomplishment.Larry Johnston's '50 Ford coupe embodies what a custom is all about since there isn't a square inch on the car that was left untouched. Featuring custom front end sheetmetal, a Dodge Neon roof, Studebaker-based bumpers, and an Art Morrison chassis, the car was bathed in PPG orange and burgundy luster to bring it to completion.Dean Arnold's '61 Ford Thunderbird known as ThunderFlite looks like a jet fighter. Wanting to create a futuristic-styled concept, they nailed the look with a combination of a split bubbletop, flowing body lines, cool side exhaust, and a cockpit-inspired interior.Jerry and Maureen Magnuson's Muroc II (Kugel Komponents) known as Magnatude. Jerry worked closely with Chip Foose and their vision for this world-class hot rod came to life. The car is powered by a MagnaCharger urged GM LS1 V-8.

Atlanta, GA (Sports Network) - Unable to watch, Kevin Ware had his face in his jersey as Louisville attempted its game-sealing free throws down the stretch.
Russ Smith had 21 points and Luke Hancock added 20 as Louisville downed gritty and valiant Wichita State, 72-68, to advance to its first national championship game since 1986.
The Cardinals (34-5) led 70-68 with eight seconds left as Hancock stepped to the foul line. He sunk the first shot and missed the second. As the ball ricocheted sharply off the back rim, Wichita State's Ron Baker appeared to secure the rebound, but Hancock reached in and forced a jump ball. The possession arrow was in favor of Louisville.
Smith stepped up with 4.9 ticks to go and split a pair to seal the outcome.
Cleanthony Early tallied 24 points and 10 rebounds to lead the Shockers (30-9).

Could Marat Safin be reliving 2005 all over again? The men's field is hoping not.
In his most dominating display of tennis since his '05 Aussie Open run, including the classic match against Roger Federer in the semifinals, the giant-killing Russian overpowered the third seed Novak Djokovic winning 6-4, 7-6 (7-3), 6-2 and will take on Andreas Seppi in the third round.
At least the two ballers got to share a tender moment after the match, giving their fans a lasting treat. I guess I wouldn't mind losing to Marat either if that's what I could look forward to afterwards, right Nole? *sigh*
UPDATE: Here's a video featuring post-match interviews with Marat + Nole:

HA HA HA. Nole is annoying and arrogant. What does he have to say now about Federer and Nadal? Your not in their league yet JOKEovic.ReplyDelete
I wonder if Ivanovic will be following him home to Serbia. She's having a hard time with Dechy 8-8 in the third.
wow what a match!! it's great to see Safin pull off such an upset... on a good day, that guy can beat anyone... his quarter of the draw is pretty much easy right now without djoko and nalbandian.. lets see, maybe we'll have an epic federer-safin semifinal !!ReplyDelete
ana just won 10-8 in the third - phew!!!ReplyDelete
and i'm glad she wasn't wearing that awful "ladyfinger" adidas dress.
yeah - i'd love safin to go on another sick run for old times sake.
go safin!!!

OT but Adidas gives Ana Ivanovic the most boring outfits to wear. It's all about Nike.ReplyDelete
Wow. Just.. wow. I'm not a big fan of Nole, but how unexpected was this? Now Marat got me hoping for him again and again, he'll break my heart by losing his temper in the next round or something.. *sigh*ReplyDelete
As arrogant as he is, Nole didn't deserve his father leaving before the match was done. I mean, how would you feel if you were Nole today and you watched your father walk away from one of your worst matches? He should be supporting his son no matter what, imo. That is such a s****y thing to do to your own kid.
OH, my gosh. Marat is just so so so hot. He might be the hottest man on the planet. I feel for Djokovic, but I'm thrilled to have at least one more match to oogle Safin.ReplyDelete
And note that it was Nole who reached in for the hug (lucky bastard!) Any port in a storm, huh Novak?
Off topic - did you see that Roger's on jezebel.com today? In the background of a Gavin/Gwen snap.
- AnonymousJune 25, 2008 at 11:36 AM
this thrashing by safin ought to teach nole a lesson. confidence is one thing, but nole got a bit too cocky when he said that roger was threatened and a bit worried. [is he psychic to know how roger is feeling?] not even rafa nadal in all his french open glory would be caught dead uttering such words about federer! nadal is confident but not cocky.ReplyDelete
now nole is havinga huge dinner eating his words.
yes he'll need to eat his words but his mouth is big enough to handle it, right?!ReplyDelete
yeah not a nice thing to do dad...
- AnonymousJune 25, 2008 at 12:02 PM
nole is a cocky twat, but tennis needs players like him. i don't like him at all, but i give him kudos for smiling and hugging marat after the awful loss.ReplyDelete
Gutted, to be frank. Unlucky for Nole that Safin was on his game today, but maybe he'll find a better fitting pair of boots.ReplyDelete

I love Safin. I'm glad he won.ReplyDelete

Tallahassee, FL- A study panel is recommending that privately owned utilities be penalized for failing to meet state water quality standards.
That was among several proposals in a report Friday by the Study Committee on Investor-owned Water & Wastewater Utility Systems.
The Legislature created the 18-member panel last year.
It recommended a law change so the Florida Public Service Commission can penalize utilities that don't meet water quality requirements set by the state Department of Environmental Protection.
To cut rate case expenses, the panel recommended limits on consultant and attorney fees. It also said utilities should forfeit any unrecovered rate case expenses from prior cases instead of passing them on to customers.
The committee also proposed that private utilities be allowed to use state purchasing contracts to cut material and equipment costs.

History of the Finnish American Heritage Center
Since its grand opening in 1990, Finlandia University's Finnish American Heritage Center has become a community focal point and a national center, offering a multitude of exhibits, lectures, plays, musical programs and community events each year. The building is a popular stop for tourists.
Finnish immigrants dreamed of an institution that would provide religious education, perpetuate the Finnish language and preserve their experience in North America. Suomi College (now Finlandia University) built in 1896, is the realization of that dream, and the only remaining North American institution of higher learning founded by Finnish Americans.
Hours and Location
The Finnish American Heritage Center is located in downtown Hancock, Michigan, at 435 Quincy Street (U.S. 41 North). The Heritage Center is open Monday - Friday, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

Vancouver, BC (SportsNetwork.com) - Vancouver Canucks defenseman Kevin
Bieksa will be sidelined for at least as long as the club's upcoming road
trip with an undisclosed malady.
"We don't know the details yet (of the specific injury). We have to be a
resilient group. We have a good group of guys. Adversity happens ... we have
to focus on our attitude," said Canucks interim head coach Mike Sullivan in a
Thursday press conference.
In addition, Henrik Sedin, who has been out since Jan. 18 with a rib injury
that ended his ironman streak at 679 games, might rejoin the club on the road.
He is still listed as day-to-day.
Vancouver begins a five-game sojourn in Winnipeg on Friday, and the trip ends
on Feb. 8 at Toronto.

How To Work SheetmetalWritten by on August 29, 2013 With a little practice and some cool inexpensive tools from Eastwood, you can form your own parts from scratch
In the past we've presented metal-shaping articles that proved the average inexperienced Joe can create just about anything from a flat sheet of steel, provided he has access to the right tools. The problem is that many of those "right" tools are large, expensive, and really more fitting for someone planning to do a lot of shaping on a regular basis. For most projects that you'll be taking on in your garage, just a few of the most basic tools will take you a long way.
We plan on revisiting this topic from time to time, but to begin we'll start with the simplest machines of them all: hammers and dollies. It's hard to get more basic than beating something with a blunt object, right? But there's so much more to it than that; to really make good use of hammers you need to know the proper techniques metal shapers use to turn those swings from random strikes to targeted blows. And once you know what those basic principles are, and allow yourself time to master them, there's an astounding array of projects you'll be able to tackle with nothing more than the knowledge of how to effectively bang two hardened pieces of steel together.
For example, did you know that there is a big difference between hammering "on dolly" and "off dolly," and that most people use the wrong method for trying to work out dings or waves in sheetmetal? It's true, and not knowing the difference will have you chasing a never-ending low or high spot. Or why it's important to keep your metal-shaping hammers separate from all of your other hammering activities? We'll tell you exactly why, plus more important tips that could be holding you back from making the step from shoddy to shaper.
To demonstrate some of these essential elements, we enlisted Yannick Sire of Sire Custom Performance. Sire a metal-shaping madman with striking speed when inspired, (we were blown away by how fast he and his fabricator Vlad Chioreanu formed the floors for project Max Effort elsewhere in this issue) so we asked him to show us the beginning basics of how he makes the custom pieces he needs to finish off the unique hot rod projects his shop handles regularly.
Basic Hammering Technique
Similar to driving a nail with a claw hammer, always grip toward the end of the handle for leverage. Unlike hammering a nail, you'll be doing zero swinging with your arm; it's all in the wrist. The correct method is to go with the natural rhythm of the hammer as it bounces off the dolly. If your arm is getting tired, you're putting far too much effort into it. Some prefer to extend their thumb or pointer finger up the hammer's handle for increased control and feel, especially in delicate situations.
Remember that sheetmetal is actually fluid, and hammering "on dolly" is used for stretching. For correct technique, the face of the dolly and the hammer should sandwich the metal creating a sharp ting sound upon impact. The hammer should bounce quickly off the face of the metal if the contact is solid.
Hammering "off dolly" is used to equalize highs and lows. This is the technique used for working out dings and waves in sheetmetal.
Forming An Edge
Forming an edge is one of the most valuable skills to have for adjusting seams or gaps between panels. Note how the bend in our repair panel here tapers upward away from the guide tape. Bending the edge is simple, but keeping it clean requires proper dollying. Instinct says to tap the top first, but to get the metal to bend at the tape line, tapping begins on the bend itself with the dolly placed on the inside of the lip to avoid distortion and moving the edge outward.
After rolling over the bend, the hammering switches to the top side of the lip to flatten out the lip and sharpen the bend.
note how the edge has moved in line with the guide tape without losing the original crispness and without any deformation in the panel.
The bend in our repair panel had too much radius to is, while the spot requires a sharp 90 degrees. With the bend now moved where we want it, we can use the hammer and a sharp-edged dolly like the Toe or Hell to begin hammering on the top and side of the bend until we get the crisp bend we need.
Mallets & Sandbag
You don't always have to have a dolly to shape metal; that's where mallets come into play. These cylindrical and conical mallets are made from ultrahigh molecular-weight plastic that will allow us to stretch and form sheetmetal without marring the surface.
When shaping or repairing something, mallets work best with a complementary surface for the metal to be pounded on. One method involves using a hard wooden surface, such a stump, with a hole carved into it to facilitate the shaping. The most common, however, uses a leather sand bag, such as this one from Eastwood. When filled with buckshot, silver sand, or another preferred medium, the mallets themselves will impart the shape.
For demonstration, Sire is going to pound out a simple teardrop shape in a piece of sheetmetal. The pointed side of the conical mallets is used to rough in the shape. Choosing the mallet size is pure preference, though as with any other hammer, the larger ones offer more mass to swing and will impart more shape quickly. The smaller ones are for more subtle work.
If your swings aren't very accurate, sometimes it works in your favor to hold the conical mallet in place and tap it with one of the cylindrical mallets. Sire also recommends this method for tight spots, or in this case, to get the very tip of the teardrop shape formed.
The impact from the pointed side of the mallet moves a lot of metal, but leaves behind a very rough surface. Flipping it over to the domed side allows Sire to begin working out those craters to create a more fluid shape. All this pounding is bound to buckle the sheet around the edges; the correct way to solve this problem would be with a set of shrinkers/stretchers (which we'll introduce to you in another article), but the hammer and dolly will work as well.
Within about 10 minutes Sire had created this small teardrop with about 1 inch of maximum depth. It needs a little more hammering and planishing to be very smooth, but the hard work is done. A small shape like this is ideal for solving clearance in tight areas; make a much bigger one and you've got the basis for a '64 Fairlane Thunderbolt-style hoodscoop.
What about those cylindrical mallets? Besides just basic pounding, they're perfect for creating shape in sheetmetal over bucks or forms without marring or stretching the metal. For example, that repair panel we adjusted earlier with the hammer and dolly needs a rolled edge. To create, Sire clamped a length of DOM tube into a vise and used a heavy mallet to roll the edge of the sheet to the same contour as the tube. Using similar methods and larger forms, you can create just about any shape imaginable. Now just think of the sheetmetal problems you can solve just by hitting it!
Special Use Dollies
With a few obvious exceptions, such as forming sharp edges, the first thing to know about dollies is that really there is no such thing as the one "right" dolly for a job. Dollies are different shapes purely to help metal shapers and bodymen get it in the right place to work the metal into the right shape. Sometimes a common rail or heel-style dolly will handle everything, but there are times when more curvature may be to your advantage such as is the case with this '69 Mustang taillight panel. The shape of the Curved or Apostrophe dolly is designed for auto body repair and is almost a perfect match for the arc and allows for more precise hammering of some minor imperfections created by impacts from items inside the trunk.
This toe dolly with the raised serrations, and its complementary hammer, are both used for shrinking metal. Metal is fluid and the purpose of the serrations is to gather the metal in an area by creating a series of tiny divots. This method is only for small amounts of shrinking and works well on areas of metal that have been over stretched or "oil canned." There are a couple different types on the market, but the type that do work the most effectively are quite sharp with a grid of tiny, sharp pyramids (rather than flat-topped serrations), such as both of these Fairmount tools.
More Photos From This Article View Slideshow
When it comes to dollies, the varying shapes are all about trying to make the job of shaping and repairing metal a little easier. The column in the center features a Curved (or Apostrophe) Dolly, Toe Dolly, Heel Dolly, and a Shrinking Dolly. The right side column features Anvil and Dome/Heel dollies with handles for hard-to-reach areas, as well as the most commonly used dolly known as a General Purpose or Rail dolly. The far left is a Dinging dolly or Body Spoon, commonly used to spread the blow of a hammer over a larger area, or for slapping.A finely radiused and clean hammer head is essential for quality metal shaping since we only want smooth striking surfaces. That means a body hammer should never be used as you would a regular hammer since that will ruin the surface of the head. Never attempt to work metal with a hammer that looks like the one on top; misuse and the low-grade steel has taken a beating and lost its shape. Major resurfacing is required to restore it. Also, the head should be free of contaminants; you don't want to pound oils or grease into the steel you're trying to work.Speaking of heads, there are two common shapes you will find. Most metal-shaping hammers will have a slightly domed head, such as the hammer on the right. There are a few, like the Fairmount Shrinking hammer on the left, that have a perfectly flat head. Though they can be used interchangeably in a manner of situations, their effect is slightly different. The domed hammer will have a smaller point of impact and is more appropriate for curved surfaces, whereas the flat head spreads the blow out over a larger area. It's fitting that the opposite head of the Fairmount Shrinking hammer has a flat head, since they are also more advantageous for stretching metal.

The slaves, the pirates and the treasure on board
the Whydah all sank before the notorious thief
pirate reached land for a rendezvous with his
girlfriend, a condemned witch.
Andrew Mollenbeck, wtop.com
WASHINGTON – The Whydah originally set sail as a slave ship prior to being captured by pirates. But the pirates and the treasure all sank before the captain reached land for a rendezvous with his girlfriend, a condemned witch.
This twisting and tragic story – supplemented by artifacts and loot – is on display at the National Geographic Museum in an exhibit called "Real Pirates: The Untold Story of the Whydah from Slave Ship to Pirate Ship."
Visitors can expect to see cannons, hand grenades, treasure and disturbing artifacts from the ship's roll in slave trade, all on display through Sept. 2.
"What people have to really understand when they come to see this is that they're seeing the only pirate treasure that's ever been discovered in the world," says Barry Clifford, the explorer who found the wreckage in 1984.
"Anybody who had ever walked the beach and thought of finding pirate treasure – this is the only place in the world they can see it," he says. "It's the only documented pirate treasure that's ever been excavated."
The incredible story of the Whydah begins in London in 1715.
The three-masted, 300-ton galley was said to be the most advanced of its time. It was built as a slave ship and in 1717 the Whydah transported captives from the west coast of Africa to be sold in Jamaica.
Afterward as the ship and its crew headed back to England with the money, they were taken over by pirates, including Sam Bellamy, one of the most notorious pirates of his day.
"This was the 50th ship that they had captured," Clifford says. "Because the Whydah was a new ship, [Bellamy] converted it into his own ship."
Bellamy decided at that point to head up to Massachusetts, where legend has it he was going to reunite with his girlfriend, Maria Hallett.
"Unbeknownst to him, she had been condemned as a witch," Clifford recounts.
Just the same, she didn't know that he had become a pirate.
As the pirates neared the coastline, they were caught in a horrific nor'easter. The Whydah and treasure collected from 50 ships sank on the back side of Cape Cod, in a place called the Graveyard.
The story served as a fantastic legend until its discovery in 1984. Now, artifacts such as swords, muskets and personal items from the ship are on display in the museum's 17th Street gallery.

text: LEXINGTON, Va., Jan. 23, 2013 – It was, said Sgt. Maj. John Neel, "a moment in history" – a moment the 1,447 cadets who marched in the Inaugural Parade shared with the nation and the climax of perhaps the longest day in the cadetship of the classes of 2013, 2014, 2015, and 2016."They were just into the moment and having fun and happy to be there," said Neel, who, for the third time in his career, supervised the training of the Corps to march the 15-cadet front and to perform the "eyes left" and "align left" maneuvers."The biggest thing was as soon as we walked by that reviewing stand it just made everything real. I cannot believe I was that close to the president," said Cadet Ashley Gernhardt '13, 2nd Battalion operations lieutenant, Tuesday during a break between classes. "You felt the energy."Cadet Thomas Shumar '13, who marched on the left side near the reviewing stand, recalled the moment with pleasure. "That was special because I got a really close look at the president and the vice president," he said. "It was a sense of pride and accomplishment."That special moment followed a grueling day of hurry to be in the right place long before the right time, over and over again, just in case. The cadets had formed up for BRC at 4:30 a.m. after, in some cases, very little sleep. It was Gernhardt and her staff, for instance, who worked late into Sunday night assembling security badges for the Corps.The cadets boarded 28 buses and departed post at 6:30 a.m., and most slept for much of the nearly 200 miles to Washington, D.C. They waited on the buses in the Pentagon staging area for nearly two hours to go through the Secret Service security check, eating boxed lunches provided by VMI's Aramark dining services."The Secret Service was fantastic," said Neel. "They were very understanding of our special needs, that we had weapons."After dyking out, the cadets boarded the buses once more, for more waiting, in overcoats, with sabers and rifles. At around 4 p.m., the cadets disembarked once more, this time at the National Mall assembly area, and formed up, ready to wait for the start of the parade and the long –1.6-mile – march to the reviewing stand.Marching through unfamiliar streets, the last marching unit behind so many others, was itself a challenge, said Gernhardt. "You've never seen where you're going to march before, so having to go past the obstacles and dealing with the constant accordion effect between the people marching in front of us – … it was both mental and physically exhausting."Sparse crowds became much more dense as the Corps approached the reviewing stand, with bright lights confirming their arrival."It was nice to see a lot of VMI folks. … We got cheers all along the route," said Neel. "The people that we were parading for stayed there until the very last cadet. … It was really, really good."While the Corps experienced their moment in history among the lights at the reviewing stand, a member of the commandant's staff, Lt. Col. Mitch Fridley, experienced a moment of his own in the darker streets nearby, trying to corral 28 buses snarled in traffic so they'd be ready for the exhausted cadets. Though the buses were out of order and strung out over two streets, Fridley faced the cadets, standing in formation in the middle of the street, with confidence."The [cadet] bus captains did a great job," said Fridley. "I said, 'Here's the location of the buses; make it happen.' … It was pretty impressive. We crossed the reviewing stand at 1832 [6:32 p.m.] and at 1932 [7:32 p.m.] I was driving out of D.C."The buses headed for post, with one astonishingly quick stop at Manassas to pick up boxed dinners prepared, transported, and efficiently distributed by Aramark, to a famished and appreciative Corps and staff."That dinner was delicious," said Neel. "I had a nice big roll with a big old piece of chicken in there. It was very tasty, very good."The buses arrived back on post between 10:30 and 11:30 p.m., greeted by VMI physical plant staff ready to deal with the trash and recycling generated by the trip.Some of the cadets hurried to bed, and some, like Gernhardt, worked on homework due in class the next day. Many shared their reflections and recollections of the day with friends and family, through Facebook and text-messaging, before settling in to sleep.Members of the commandant's staff reflect with satisfaction on a challenging, grueling effort that came off beautifully."This was a cadet-run operation," said Fridley. "Getting people on and off buses, getting people formed up, making people look good when they march, that's all cadets.""It was an 18-hour day, and we marched for about 45 minutes," he continued. "And the cadets never lost their smiles and really seemed to enjoy it.""The Corps," added Neel, "looked fantastic. We looked great. We looked really, really big. We were a great finish to the parade."–Sherri Tombarge

Danse Lhasa Danse
This multidisciplinary evening lovingly honours the life and work of Montreal-based folk musician, Lhasa. Bringing seven dancers, four singers and five instrumentalists together on one stage, artistic visionary Pierre-Paul Savoie seamlessly melds concert and dance performance into a powerful and profound tribute.
On New Year's Day in 2010, the husky-voiced singer-songwriter lost her battle with cancer at age 37. Despite being cut short, Lhasa's career earned tremendous critical acclaim, including multiple JUNO and BBC Awards, and a loyal community of fans through numerous tours and the release of three celebrated albums.
After her passing, Savoie was inspired to gather an esteemed group of Canadian choreographers, visual artists, dancers, and musicians, including the members of Lhasa's original band, to collaborate on this beautiful, poetic work. Co-produced by PPS Danse and Coup de Coeur Francophone.
Presented with the PuSh International Performing Arts Festival.

If you're contemplating moving human resources functions from homegrown or other on-premise software to the cloud, here's advice from managers who've done it on making a smooth transition:
1. Assemble a cross-functional team. Invite managers from multiple departments to help develop the request for proposal, review vendor candidates and create a timeline for how software will be tested and rolled out. When LCS adopted cloud-based performance-review software, the Des Moines, Iowa, retirement center management company's educational resources director specifically tapped some bad apples who hadn't consistently used its existing paper performance-review form to be on the implementation task force.
"By having them have a piece of the ownership, I got some natural buy-in for the process," says Cynthia Thorland, director of educational resources at LCS. "They couldn't say HR and operations decided it."
2. Put your house in order. How closely do employees follow company policies? If managers or employees frequently skirt policies for performance reviews, expense reports or other HR processes, it could make moving to a less-customizable, less forgiving cloud service that much tougher, says Dan McConnell, talent management product manager at Mercer, the HR consulting firm. Clients Mercer has helped move to the cloud "were forced to implement policy training after the fact." As a result, the roll-out took three to six months longer than anticipated, McConnell says.
3. Focus on your problem, not the technology. Software vendors may try to win you over with snazzy features, but bells and whistles aren't worth much if they don't address the issues you're trying to solve. Build a business case for what you need and why, and then use it to evaluate what's out there.
4. Get support staff from your existing vendor, information technology department and cloud vendor to work together. If you don't speak geek, they'll be able to talk code and let you concentrate on other aspects of the change. When San Diego State University's Aztec Shops campus retail and concessions operations moved payroll, timekeeping and other HR functions from Kronos Inc.'s on-premise software to the vendor's cloud-based service, project/payroll manager Leah Messenger got her IT guy together with the existing software support team and the new cloud team. "The implementation team of your original system knows the ins and outs of it, and they can help the cloud team keep that integrity," Messenger says.
5. Don't change everything at once. When LCS switched from using paper performance reviews to SilkRoad technology Inc.'s cloud-based WingSpan software, the vendor's reps advised the company not to change its 16-year-old performance review form at the same time so as not to overwhelm managers and employees. "We didn't listen," Thorland says. Post-implementation surveys showed that employees hated the new, more complicated form.
6. Don't stint on training. Instructing employees and HR staff on how to use new software could cut down on implementation time. Mailing-equipment maker Pitney Bowes Inc. offered extensive manager and employee training as part of moving from Microsoft Excel and paper-based expense reports to cloud-based software from Certify. At launch, more than 2,000 employees attended approximately 30 Certify-led live webinar training sessions. The vendor held another 30 webinars for anyone who approved or processed expense reports. Staff who missed live trainings could see recorded sessions online, watch training videos embedded in the software, ask their managers for help or ask questions in a user-help forum on the company's Yammer page. After the new software debuted, the loudest complaints came from—can you guess?—people who hadn't taken any of the training sessions, says Joyce Taylor, a billing manager in Pitney Bowes global accounting operations.
7. Prepare for pushback. Switching to the cloud could lead to interdepartmental strife if IT positions get cut as a result or tech support staff need to be retrained to keep their jobs. It can also cause problems if a company is moving to the cloud at the same time it's undertaking other projects that will compete for resources and attention. "Change management is so important to start in the beginning, and something a lot of companies don't do," says Michael Krupa, a partner and technology strategist in Merce's talent business.

I'm surprised there are no comments on this one.
Here is a map done in the last week for a group of game developers, who're volunteering there time and efforts to make a complete game. After picking up this commission for free, I was easy and voluntarily absorbed into the group. Now I'll be doing all of the maps for the game. It's a great group of people from all over, some of which are currently working for popular game development companies. The map is only a small piece of a much larger map. This is the Province of Noramira. Now I'm working on a map for the town of Rhanwall.
Sorry I can't post a larger image, as I don't know what the legalities are.

Hi everyone
I'm desinging a Zimlet to integrate with our intranet.
I've got a blank Zimlet running in a new tab but wondering if anyone has any pointers for the next stage?
Basically I'm looking to get an XML file from an HTTP server on our intranet, then parse this XML into a table of data within the zimlet.
It would be ideal if I could have the XML re-downloaded and parsed every 30 seconds as well.
Is something like this possible?
What functions should I be looking at in order to achieve something like this?
Cheers, B

Gear Up for Perseids Meteor Shower
Mark your calendar
The perseids meteor shower peaks on Aug 13th 2015 this year. The best part is there is no moon this time to spoil the show. But wait we live in Delhi, there is always the rains .. which might get the gold medal for this year's spoilsport, followed by smog which might manage to get a silver. Pfooey!!. Forget what I said. Good things happen to optimistic people. Get out there and enjoy nature's finest light show.
For the un-initiated, the Perseid meteor shower originates from the debris field of Comet 109P/Swift Tuttle, which visited us in 1992 and will do so again in 2125 when it may potentially slam into us. Nah I am not losing sleep over it. I leave the worrying to the next generation.
Its expected that you might to get see 80 meteor per hr ( ZHR ), which is pretty good. Perseids are called so because they seem to radiate from the constellation Perseus. Hence the name. The radiant ( the imaginary point where the meteors shoot out from ) of the Perseid meteor shower is at around right ascension 02h20m, declination +58°, All of the meteors will appear to be traveling directly outward from this point. The best place to look to see as many meteors as possible is not at the radiant itself, but at any dark patch of sky which is around 90° away from it, since it is at a distance of around 90° from the radiant that meteors will typically appear at their brightest.
Observing Tips
1- Keep warm clothes and waterproofed clothing with you, it does get somewhat cold and damp at night
2- Keep company. Showers can sometimes not be too active as predicted. Its nice to have someone around to chat to till then
3- Contribute. You can time meteors and report them to IMO.
4- Observe from a safe and rural location if possible. City lights almost ruin everything.
Dance of the Planets 26th Jul 2015
Dear Members,
Earlier this month the close conjunction of the two brightest planets Venus & Jupiter was observed all over the world. The planets came so close to each other that they were visible in the field of view of a telescope. The two planets will still be close together as they move into the morning sky, where both will meet-up with Mars later this year.
This Sunday Noon, let's take a look at how the planets are moving in their orbits and what face and size do they present to the observers on the Earth in the remaining 2015. We will also look at other great observations that you can make this year like the Geminids Meteor Shower, Occultation of Aldebaran by Moon.
Sunday Noon at the Planee
Dance of the Planets
Date – 26 July 2015,
Time – 12:30 pm,

Welcome to Pluto
It finally here. It really is. NASA's space probe to Pluto, New Horizons has finally arrived at the most mysterious planet of the solar system. Built by the John Hopkin's Applied Physics Laboratory, this piece of engineering marvel survived the chill of deep space, and woke up in time to return the most detailed pictures of this planet till date from an altitude of mere 2370 Km above the surface of this planet.
Pluto seen by New Horizon's LORRI Instrument
New Horizon's Pluto mission is still bit tricky since its expected to be in vicinity of a large debris field of ice and rocks which is common in the outer solar system. The probe is investigating not only Pluto but also its five moons: Charon, Styx, Nix, Kerberos and Hydra.
Jupiter Venus Conjunction Tonight
Greetings Fellow Earthlings
Tonight step outside the house for a change and look West at sundown. You'll be greeted with a spectacular planetary pair of Jupiter and Venus almost hugging each other in a nice visual conjunction. Kind of ironical considering Jupiter is God of War, and Venus is the God of Loveeee. This treat will continue for a few days so do not worry if you're sitting under the clouds right now.
Sky and Telescope astronomy magazine suggested that the event closely resembles the Star of Bethlehem which, according to Christian tradition, revealed the birth of Jesus to the Biblical Magi, and later led them to Bethlehem.
Happy Republic Day !
Polaris "Engagement Ring" Asterism
One of the very few known asterisms in the night sky is the Polaris engagement ring asterism. When seen from a dark sky site you may be able to observe a ring like pattern with 2nd magnitude Polaris itself forming the ornament on the ring. The stars that are a part of this are either in Ursa Minor or Cepheus. Approximately 10 bright stars and a few fainter ones (of magnitude 7 and 8), form an obvious circle, the ring, with Polaris as a diamond. This really is a beautiful asterism to observe with small telescopes with a low magnification! Because Polaris is part of this asterism, The Engagement isn't hard to find. Recently this asterism got the attention of Canadian music producer Deadmau5 who named a track called HR8938 Cephei after one of the stars in this asterism.

Comet Green Color is Not Cyanogen
If you've read a lot of material out there on comets or seen some lovely images of Comet Lovejoy C2014/Q2 lately, you've noticed beautiful green colors in most of these images. Most astronomers and astronomer magazines ( NASA included ) attribute it to emissions from a chemical cyanogen. Cyanogen according to astronomers is radical containing one carbon and one Nitrogen atom . In reality it is NC-CN. The C & N molecules linked by triple bonds. What is more funny is that the green does not come from cyanogen. Here is a picture of what the visible spectrum of Comey Lovejoy looks like. Thanks to Vikrant Agnihotri of Cepheids Astronomy Group for this
Compare this to work done by physicist W.Swan in 1856, who researched emissions from C-C dimers and published their visible spectrum.
As you can tell the images are an exact match. Emission Peaks appear at 520 nm with satellite bands on either side. This wavelength corresponds to what we perceive as "green". Astronomers seem to have gotten their chemistry totally wrong and its surprising how long this myth has been propagating

The lander was supposed to land on Mars and deploy its solar panels like "petals". From the image it seems like all the petals did not unfurl. "Without full deployment, there is no way we could have communicated with it as the radio frequency antenna was under the solar panels," explained Prof Mark Sims, Beagle's mission manager from Leicester University.

Red Chili Durango
Red Chile Durango $89
One star
Red Chili's price-point is built for comfort and durability. As expected, however, they didn't perform as well as the spendier models by Red Chili. While the Durango is a good choice for the frugal who want an all-around performer, and who only occasionally climb, I would not recommend these to anyone who plans to climb harder than 5.10. The barebones shoe doesn't perform well on harder routes and is almost useless on angles steeper than 30 degrees overhanging. It is a fair shoes for gyms and guides looking for a durable rig for clients and students.

School Board Presented Financial Comparisons of Schools
(Le Mars) -- During last evening's Le Mars Community School Board meeting, School Superintendent, Dr. Todd Wendt reviewed the financial comparison of the Le Mars Community School District with the other school districts within the Lakes Conference and of Plymouth County. Wendt says Le Mars Community compares well with other schools. Le Mars school district has a total tax rate of $13.19 which is the third lowest in the conference. Only Spirit Lake at $9.51 and Emmetsburg at $12.82 have a lower tax rate. But Wendt says you also need to compare other numbers.

Comparing instructional Support Levy per student, Le Mars has a rate of $224 per pupil, which is second lowest in the conference behind Storm Lake's $147 per student rate. Le Mars Community has a per student net value of $280,748 which falls in the middle of the conference with three other school districts with a higher amount and three schools with a lower amount. When compared to other Plymouth County school districts, Le Mars Community has the lowest instructional support levy rate at $224 per student, while others are all above the $400 level.

Plymouth County Wants To Get Healthy
(Le Mars) -- When you see that Iowa has 29 percent of its population as being listed as obese, compared to the national average of 27.9 percent. One in four Iowa adults are physically inactive, one in 12 people in Iowa suffer from diabetes, and slightly more than 20 percent of the state's population smokes cigarettes, it is easy to see why Iowa's Healthiest state ranking dropped four positions to number 20. Because of these startling statistics, organizers within Plymouth County are wanting to recruit at least 2300 people to team up, get active, eat well and live healthy with the Live Healthy Iowa ten-week Wellness Challenge. Plymouth County Extension Coordinator Carol Schneider says Plymouth County ranks low within the state as far as being healthy. She says the program, Live Healthy Iowa, has been around for ten years.
Listen to
Schneider says the 2300 participant goal represents ten percent of the Plymouth County population.
Schneider says there is an entry fee of $20 for the ten-week healthy wellness challenge with a five dollar coupon, making the cost of the program an affordable $15. Schneider says the program will begin in late January, but she encourages people to sign up early.

An informational meeting is scheduled for Monday, December 17 from 12:00 noon to 1:00 p.m. at the Floyd Valley Hospital Conference rooms. A complimentary lunch will be provided.

Emerald Ash Borer Found in Iowa
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - Destructive insects known for killing ash trees have been found in northeast Iowa.
The state Department of Natural Resources says insect larvae consistent with the emerald ash borer have been found in two trees in Allamakee (AL'-uh-muh-KEE') County. The larvae were collected in late October.
The county has been under quarantine since 2010 when the insect was discovered along the Mississippi River.
Officials say the discoveries are the furthest west the invasive pests have been spotted. It also is the first time emerald ash borer has been found in a sentinel tree in the state. More than 400 of those trees are being checked as part of a surveillance effort.
Nearly 1,200 insect traps were placed this summer, mostly in eastern Iowa.

Hello everyone. Doing some research for my uncle and cousin....they are not computer savy like me!
uncle is in later 50's, and my cousin has some physical limitations due to an accident he had a few years back.
They have 11 Moose PP's, and I think this year will be PP # 12.....or maybe they have 10 and this year will be 11. Anyways, they cant both afford a fully outfitted hunt, but would be interested in a drop camp or possibily hiring someone if they have success to help pack out the moose.
So does anyone have any suggestions on areas? They had planned to hunt, hopefully, on a ranch by afton/thayne along the idaho border. But the last time they talked to the rancher he said the moose pop was way way down due to wolves.
They dont really care where in Wy they go.
Any suggestions on drop camps or people to hire to help pack out a moose or areas to look into will be appreciated.
Back in High school we hunted the northern bighorns by Burgess junction, and we saw some moose. small bulls and some cows. but that was over 15 years ago!!
I also hear alot about medicine bow, unit 26 among others..........
Thanks in advance!!!!!!!!
