Wood was still smoldering Friday, as investigators continued working to find the cause of a late night fire at Hankins Lumber in Quitman.
"When we got there it was fully involved," Quitman volunteer firefighter Buddy Long.
As many as eight fire departments helped battle the flames, but with so much wood, all firefighters could do was contain it. The fire will likely smolder several days.
How the fire started is still unclear. The damage was isolated to one lumber shed.
Also, nearly one year ago the plant caught on fire.
"Mills can go fast," said Quitman Mayor Tommy Blackburn. "Our volunteers and the others who helped did a good job."
Company officials refused to comment, so there's no way to know how much damage was done and whether any jobs will be lost.

Houston, TX (Sports Network) - O.J. Mayo netted 16 of his game-high 40 points
in the fourth quarter as the Dallas Mavericks rallied for a 116-109 win over
the Houston Rockets on Saturday at Toyota Center.
Mayo buried six 3-pointers and pulled down eight rebounds, while Chris Kaman
added 20 points and seven boards for the Mavericks, who have won eight
straight against their intrastate rivals.
Darren Collison and Vince Carter donated 12 points apiece in the victory.
Rockets head coach Kevin McHale returned to the sideline for the first time
since taking a leave of absence on Nov. 10. It was later revealed that his 23-
year-old daughter Alexandra, who had battled Lupus, unexpectedly passed away
on Nov. 24.
The home side played inspired basketball for McHale as James Harden netted a
team-high 39 points and Chandler Parsons added 18 points and 10 rebounds, but
it all unraveled in the final quarter for Houston, which has lost three of
its last five.

Question: Did God disappear from our coins?
Answer: A viral email addressing this topic was debunked a few years ago, but Mitt Romney brought up the subject recently when he pledged, "I will not take 'God' off of our coins and I will not take God out of my heart."
Congress approved a series of presidential dollar coins in 2005. The law stated that "E Pluribus Unum" and "In God We Trust" be inscribed on the edge of the coins. And that's what the U.S. Mint did, with the exception of a small percentage that mistakenly did not receive the engraving. (These coins, like all those with errors, are quite valuable now.)
The edge engraving upset some people and Congress passed a new law in 2007 requiring that "In God We Trust" be on either the front or back of the coin. The coins minted between 2009 and 2011 included the changes.

WEST LIBERTY - In a game in which West Liberty had trouble getting its offense going, finishing with just 176 total yards, Coach Roger Waialae's club had to take advantage of every opportunity it received to have a chance to beat a good University of Charleston football team.
Unfortunately, with a chance to take the lead late, it was one of those opportunities that slipped through the Hilltoppers' hands that eventually cost them the chance to win.
Junior tailback Jordan Roberts rushed for 180 yards and two touchdowns and a West Liberty fumble in Golden Eagles' territory with 5:49 to go was too much to overcome as Charleston held off the Hilltoppers by a 27-14 count at chilly and dreary Russek Field on Saturday afternoon.
The loss came a week after West Liberty, which fell to 4-4 overall and 3-3 in the West Virginia Conference, made all the right moves in a stunning 17-16 victory against conference-leading Shepherd.
Meanwhile, the victory moves Coach Pat Kirkland's squad into a first place tie in the WVIAC with the Rams. The Eagles are now 7-1 overall and 4-1 in conference play.
Charleston drew first blood, moving 40 yards on eight plays before junior Puma Nuredini's 46-yard field goal attempt just cleared the crossbar with 5:21 showing in the opening period to give the visitors a 3-0 lead.
A pair of big plays led to the next Golden Eagles' score, another field goal, in which the Hilltoppers' defense prevented major damage. After West Liberty muffed the kickoff following the first field goal, and then went four-and-out, the visitors set up shop at the enemy 49.
Charleston bogged down after three plays and were facing a fourth-and-five from the 44. Lined up to punt, freshman Reggie Dillingham took the snap and headed down the sideline, not only picking up the first down, but rolling all the way to the 10-yard line.
The Topper defense held the Eagles out of the end zone, however, Nuredini's second field goal of the quarter, this one from 20 yards away, made it 6-0 with just 13 ticks showing.
It looked like West Liberty might be able to run the clock out late in the half, however, a 30-yard punt return for Charleston led to a 47-yard Nuredini field goal attempt with nine seconds remaining, which was long enough, but sailed wide left to leave the count at 6-0 at the intermission.
With the way the Golden Eagles' defense was playing, the apparent back-breaker came at 5:43 of the third period when Roberts took a hand-off and blasted straight through the middle of the line on his way to an 82-yard scoring burst. Cornerback Justin Black had the final shot at him near the West Liberty 30, but his diving attempt came up empty as the score grew to 13-0.
However, there was nothing the defense could do when the Hilltoppers finally scored on a most unusual play. West Lib freshman quarterback Dylan LaGarde was intercepted on the hosts very next series, but intended receiver Darrell Stanley punched the ball out of the defender's hands with junior Isiah Moody picking the ball up and racing 50 yards for the score at 4:13 of the third, taking it back to a six point deficit at 13-7.
Nuredini tried to give Charleston a little breathing room with just under a minute to play in the frame, but his 43-yard field goal attempt, into the wind, blew well off to the left with the Toppers taking over at their own 27.
But LaGarde, who looked like a freshman for much of the afternoon, was intercepted again, this time by sophomore Ike Gibson at the West Liberty 46 just a few plays later.
It was only a matter of time before the Hilltoppers' defense started to wear down and that seemed to come in the fourth quarter. After the Eagles had a touchdown called back on a holding call, a 26-yard pass play with a facemask tacked on pushed the ball all the way down to the 12. Just three plays later Roberts took a hand-off to the right and covered the final seven stripes with 11:23 showing for a 20-7 upperhand.
"The hardest thing for a football coach to do is to get his team not to commit turnovers," Waialae said. "The easiest thing to do is to coach them to get them. We were in a position to have a chance late and Moody gave us a couple of good runs and needed a blow."
"So we put the back-up in, and he had a crease, but he dropped the ball. But overall, the biggest problem we had on the day was that our offense didn't show up until the second half.
"The bottom line is that Charleston made more plays then we did. Our defense was unbelievable for the first 30 minutes, but we gave up some big plays in the running game in the second half that we normally don't give up. I have said all along that Roberts in the best running back in the conference and he is running behind a good line.
"I thought we did a real good job on him at times, but he got loose a couple of time also. They just keep banging him at you, which is their game-plan, and eventually he makes things happen."
Freshman quarterback John Knox, who relieved injured starter Maurice Leak, scored on a pretty play-action run from 24 yards out with just 1:21 showing to ice the contest at 27-14.
Moody, who handled the brunt of the rushing duties with Kenjay Trueblood sitting out with a shoulder injury, had a nice day with 95 yards and a touchdown, while also returning a fumble for a score. Lagarde was just 10-of-25 for 97 yards and two interceptions.
Roberts had 180 of Charleston's 286 on the ground. He racked up 111 stripes and both of his touchdowns in the second half.
West Liberty hits the road for games at Seton Hill and Concord before returning home for the season finale on Nov. 10 against UNC-Pembroke.

|Vegetable varieties recommended for the local area
|Written by Linda Langelo, CSU Extension, horticulture program associate
By Linda Langelo, CSU Extension, horticulture program associate
Gardening season is almost upon the Plains. Over the last several years, Golden Plains Area community gardens have planted a number of varieties, and Extension is sharing their list of varieties with gardeners.
This list consists of the varieties that did the best for the gardens and were reliable. There have been some reliable heirlooms and other reliable hybrids. However, Extension prefers to use the heirloom varieties wherever possible.
There are other varieties that they have tried that have not produced or performed well, such as Brandywine Tomato. This tomato has not been reliable, but it has great taste as an heirloom. In 2010 it performed poorly, but in 2011 it performed well.
Heirlooms are not always resistant to disease as are hybrids, and weather conditions play a role in the success of a crop. In hybrids, the taste is bred out of the vegetable to strengthen the plant for other things. Heirlooms have the best taste.
Here is a list of Extension's recommendations:
Turnip: White Top Purple Globe.
Tomato: Early Girl, Better Boy, Heirloom Cherokee Purple, Heirloom Mortgage Lifter, Big Red, Giant Beefsteak.
Swiss chard: Bright Lights, Fordhook Giant, Magenta Sunset, Neon, Rhubarb.
Squash winter: Spaghetti, Acorn-Honey Bear, Sugar Hubbard, Red Kuri, Butternut Hunter.
Squash summer: Black Beauty, Emerald Delight, Delta, Patty Pan.
Spinach: Malabar, New Zealand, Hellcat.
Radish: Easter Egg.
Potato: Yukon Gold.
Pepper—hot: Anaheim, Big Chile, Jalapeno, Habanero
Pepper—sweet: Red Bell, Green Bell, Mini Red Bell.
Peas: Sugar Snap.
Lettuce: Baby Star, New Red Fire, Merlot, Four Seasons.
Kohlrabi: Express Forcer Hybrid
Radish: Hailstone.
Onions: Yellow—Walla Walla Sweet and white variety—Snow White.
Garlic: Chesnok Red, Killarney Red (Rocambole).
Eggplant: White-Casper, Black-Big Dragon, Black King, Black Beauty.
Cucumber: Burpless Varieties, General Lee, Armenian, Straight Eight, Boston Pickling
Corn—sweet: Yellow Corn-Golden Bantam, Honey & Cream.
Carrots: Danvers Half Long.
Cabbage: Chinese Varieties.
Broccoli: Pacman.
Brussel Sprouts: Jade Cross.
Beets: Kestrel, Detroit Dark Red, Bulls Blood, Chioggia.
Beans: Bush Varieties—Venture, Triumphe De Farcy; Pole—Kentucky Wonder and Blue Lake.
Basil: Genovese.
If gardeners have a variety of one of the crops listed that they would like to share with Extension, please contact Linda Langelo.
For the coming season of 2013, in all the area gardens there will be the following varieties:
Beets, Early Wonder, Merlin; bean, Contender (Bush); cucumber, Armenian Burpless, Marketmore; peas, Sugar Snap; pepper, Habanero; pumpkin, Lumina; radish, Easter Egg Blend; spinach, New Zealand Spinach; Swiss chard, Bright Lights; squash summer, Black Beauty Zucchini, Early Prolific, Straightneck; tomato, Bush; tomato (Pole), Red Siberian (Russian Heirloom).
Each garden adds a selection of flowers for decoration and cutting. Some of the gardens do corn, pumpkins, cantaloupe and watermelon, and some do not. If gardeners have not tried some of these varieties, go ahead and do so.

Not everyone hitting retirement has to be frugal. Here's a list of top retirement places when money is no object. We searched for cities, or in some cases parts of cities, with high-end demographics, especially median household income and average home prices, and a senior-citizen population above the national average of 12%. Other factors weighed included proximity to strong cultural and medical facilities, and scenic beauty and ambience. We ended up with a range of big cities, ritzy suburbs, small towns and resort areas across all five U.S. time zones. The places are listed alphabetical.

Five days early, Five years late
The upcoming publication of a politically correct revision of the popular New International Version Bible seems like a scene from Groundhog Day
The International Bible Society and Zondervan Publishing House jumped the gun by five days.
On Jan. 28 the two venerable evangelical institutions announced plans to publish Today's NIV, a gender-neutral revision of the NIV. The announcement coincided with the Christian Booksellers Association Expo, a trade show for Christian book retailers, and IBS handed out copies of its TNIV New Testament there (the whole TNIV won't be complete for another three years).
But that smooth product rollout became bumpy almost immediately, as the Council for Biblical Manhood and Womanhood rolled into action. Suddenly, like a scene from the movie Groundhog Day, where Bill Murray is forced to relive the same Feb. 2 until he gets it right, proponents of politically correct language were once again locked in combat with defenders of straight-up, nonideological translation.
It was all reminiscent of the battles fought five years ago, beginning in March, 1997. That's when WORLD surprised IBS and Zondervan by breaking the story that the NIV was quietly going gender-neutral. IBS and Zondervan scrambled to get their side of the story out, taking advantage of the Internet to post open letters on their websites, and initially charging that WORLD got the story wrong.
Zondervan assured its customers that "we are in no way motivated by social or political agendas or pressures." IBS acknowledged some alterations but denied any feminist, anti-patriarchal reasons: "where a masculine, feminine, or neuter noun or adjective is changed, it can only be revised in order to be more unmistakably accurate."
But when WORLD conclusively demonstrated that both IBS and Zondervan had already published gender-neutral versions of the NIV and that many of the translating choices did not increase accuracy, the two organizations scrambled again. When WORLD quoted from the preface to the IBS-licensed, retranslated NIV that was already available for purchase in Great Britain-"it is often appropriate to mute the patriarchalism of the culture of the biblical writers through gender inclusive language" -IBS denials of feminist leanings rang hollow.
For two months IBS and Zondervan tried out new lines and leveled charges against WORLD, but in the meantime other evangelical organizations became involved. Southern Baptist leaders threatened to stop using the NIV in Sunday school materials. Focus on the Family President James Dobson came out against gender-neutral changes to the NIV, as did many other evangelical leaders.
By Memorial Day both IBS and Zondervan were ready to call it quits. On May 27 IBS announced that it had "abandoned all plans for gender-related changes in future editions of the New International Version (NIV)," and that "the present (1984) NIV text will continue to be published. There are no plans for a further revised edition." The press release went even further: "The four-point IBS policy statement effectively eliminates incorporation of gender-related language revisions in any NIV Bible licensed by IBS to Zondervan Publishing House (ZPH), North American publisher of NIV, and Hodder & Stoughton, publisher of the NIV in the U.K."
To underscore that pledge, the presidents of IBS and Zondervan, and representatives from the CBT-the Committee on Bible Translation that is responsible for the text of the NIV-met with defenders of nonideological translation in Colorado Springs at the headquarters of Focus on the Family. By the end of the day all the scholars present had signed an agreement outlining basic principles of translation to which all sides agreed.
Therefore when IBS and Zondervan announced plans for the TNIV last month, it was not merely a new product rollout. The two organizations were breaking well-publicized agreements that had seemed to deliver them from a public-relations quagmire. They were admitting that work on a gender-neutral Bible had continued despite IBS's pledge that it would not. So, despite the element of surprise in their announcement, by Groundhog Day five days later the battle was joined.
Many leading evangelical scholars -the number totaled 37 by Feb. 12-signed a statement expressing concern over "troubling translation inaccuracies" in the TNIV "that introduce distortions of ... meanings." The list of signers included Baptists such as Bruce Ware, Thomas Schreiner, R. Albert Mohler, Paige Patterson, and John Piper; Presbyterians such as R.C. Sproul, Vern Poythress, Peter Jones, Daniel Doriani, and Ray C. Ortlund, Jr.; and Lutherans such as William Weinrich and Dean O. Wenthe.
J.I. Packer, while not signing that statement, said he was "in sympathy with it" and told the Baptist Press that the TNIV "is a retrograde move.... I find it to be a passing modern fad, frankly, to object to the inclusive masculine pronoun. To change the shape of biblical verses to fit this fad leads to a good bit of under-translation. The masculine pronoun belongs in almost every language of the world. The gains that this translation seeks to achieve are far outweighed by the loss. I appreciate the NIV, and I think they have taken a wrong turn."
The Groundhog Day mood deepened on Feb. 5 when Dr. Dobson came out in opposition to the TNIV, saying, "I am disappointed over the International Bible Society's decision to withdraw their endorsement from the Guidelines for Translation of Gender-Related Language in Scripture. These guidelines were formulated ... with the full participation of IBS.... It is particularly unfortunate that the IBS has now chosen to go its own way. In so doing, it risks dividing the Christian community again, as well as damaging its own reputation and undermining the wonderful work in which it has been engaged for more than 150 years."
On Feb. 7 eight of those who in 1997 traveled to Colorado Springs to hammer out the translating principles issued a statement "call[ing] upon the International Bible Society and Zondervan Publishing House again to reverse their announced direction, thus keeping their word and God's." Those at the 1997 meeting who did not sign the new statement all receive compensation from IBS or Zondervan.
During the first two weeks of February, despite extensive public-relations efforts by IBS and Zondervan-including a positive feature and a four-page cardboard insert (list price: $15,707) in the Feb. 4 Christianity Today-many reporters spotted egg on the faces of the two giants.
An Associated Press story distributed on Feb. 7 connected the NIV revisionists with theologically liberal efforts of the past. The story amply quoted Wayne Grudem's criticism of IBS and Zondervan- "They have broken faith with the Christian public"-and gave the seminary professor the last word: "If you don't have a Bible you can trust, it strikes at the heart of the Christian faith."
By Feb. 12 the Lexis-Nexis record included 39 stories on the TNIV in major newspapers and magazines, with the Los Angeles Times account among those noting the agreement five years ago and suggesting some sleight-of-hand: "The Bible society isn't quite abandoning its pledge because it is not discontinuing publication of the NIV."
The Sydney [Australia] Morning Herald pegged the TNIV's appeal: "The controversial new translation is clearly pitching itself at those egalitarian-minded, gender-relaxed Christians of the Third Millennium." And a business question rose to the forefront: Would IBS and Zondervan be able to sell the TNIV to theological liberals and to confused Christians, while at the same time retaining a large share of Bible sales to theological conservatives?
Industry sources told WORLD that, according to data from the book distributor Spring Arbor, the NIV had a 33.3 percent share of the evangelical market in 1996. That dipped to 30.3 percent-a 9 percent drop-in 1997, the year of the last Bible battle. The NIV recouped most of that loss during the past four years, and recorded a 32.1 percent market share in 2001. (Last year the King James Version had a 22 percent market share, the New King James 10 percent, and the New Living 8 percent. The New Revised Standard Version and Revised Standard Version together garnered 6 percent.)
Industry sources suggested that IBS and Zondervan were attempting the difficult feat of trying to retain broad evangelical support while introducing a new version that would largely appeal to liberals. An advertising line on the TNIV website fits that theory: "The NIV is an extremely accurate Bible text, the best the CBT could produce as of 1984. The TNIV is an even slightly more accurate Bible text, the best the CBT could produce as of 2001."
Zondervan and IBS also tried to mollify critics by downplaying the magnitude of the changes, saying that the TNIV was changing only 7 percent of the NIV text. They said they hadn't changed gender references to God or Jesus, although at times they had (see "Should we trust the TNIV?"). And the translators made some choices that go even further than those made by the translators of the liberal New Revised Standard Version. Their publicists used language displaying an attempt to have it both ways: The NIV is "extremely accurate," the TNIV is "slightly more accurate" than extreme accuracy.
By raising memories of 1997, Zondervan seems to be taking a risk with its venerable NIV, which has sold more than 150 million copies since its introduction. Isn't a bird in the hand worth two in the bush? Why jeopardize NIV sales?
Neither Zondervan nor IBS would answer questions from WORLD, but industry sources speculated that Zondervan, now a division of HarperCollins, which is itself part of Rupert Murdoch's News Corp., is under pressure to expand its market share. Just as HarperCollins plans to bring out new Narnia books not written by C.S. Lewis but catering to some 21st-century tastes, as a way of expanding its Narnia sales, so it may bring out new Bibles with the same goal in mind.
But there's more to this than money. Those close to the process speak of the feminist sympathies of some in the Zondervan organization. Close observers also point to the genuine desire of many at Zondervan to increase Bible reading, and their belief that changing "insensitive" parts of Scripture will garner more readers.
IBS-watchers contend similarly that executives there may have deferred to several seminary and English professors who argue intensely that "patriarchal" understandings and "noninclusive" language are retrograde. The IBS evidently concluded that production of a TNIV would help evangelism, while providing an additional revenue stream that would help pay for translating the Bible into other languages.
Because neither executives nor translators are replying to WORLD queries, much is not known. What were the translation guidelines concerning when and how to revise gender-related words, even if that meant mistranslating the Greek (and in effect ignoring meanings in the standard lexicons)? Why encourage poor English grammar by using plural pronouns with singular antecedents, especially when the antecedent truly is singular? How did the translators resolve differences among themselves over how to render gender-related words in specific instances?
Those who influence Bible purchases should ask such questions. The NIV is currently used by many Sunday school curriculum providers, including Cook Communications, Group Publications, LifeWay (the Southern Baptist publisher), and even Cokesbury, a more liberal publisher. Their decisions will be key, as will decisions of bookstore owners. In 1997 John Kohlenberger, author of The NIV Concordance, was invited to give a workshop advocating gender-neutral Bible translations at the Christian Booksellers Association convention. This year, so far, the CBA has issued a statement saying "our member retailers will decide for themselves whether or not to carry the TNIV."
Retailers will have tough choices to make about which Bibles to carry. Bibles are expensive and many retailers will wait to see how these new versions sell. The TNIV editions will be competing against theologically conservative translations and also Tyndale's gender-neutral New Living Translation, as well as the New Revised Standard Version, used in many mainline churches.
Parents will have a Groundhog Day sense of needing to be very careful in buying children's Bibles, since Zondervan plans to issue the TNIV in many formats, including children's and youth versions. Zondervan's gender-neutral children's Bible in 1997 had nothing on it or in it to tell parents that the version was departing from standard translating principles.
A major difference from 1997, though, is that the TNIV will be entering the market at a time when evangelicals have two additional choices in Bible translations. Five years ago the New King James and the New American Standard Bible were the two major modern English alternatives. Last year, though, Crossway Books issued the English Standard Version, a conservative revision of the Revised Standard Version. In addition, Broadman Holman, publishing arm to the Southern Baptist Convention, has put out the Holman Christian Standard Bible New Testament; the Old Testament is due out in 2004.
Will those two new versions find large audiences? Seminaries, Sunday school boards, and other groups will weigh in, and so will individual buyers. If discerning buyers decide fidelity is important, the future of the TNIV and the NIV will not be decided in a HarperCollins boardroom or in the offices of IBS or Zondervan. Those in the pews will make their choices known.

Rafael Nadal, whose relationship is all the rage this fortnight, began his quest for a first Wimbledon title today. The French Open champ battled a game Andreas Beck and pulled out a tight 3-setter winning 6-4, 6-4, 7-6 (0). He now takes on the big-hitting Latvian Ernests Gulbis in a mouth-watering second rounder which could be a very tricky test for Rafa.
It seems like the Spaniard is definitely feeling his grass game these days - learning to shorten his swings and shorten the points. Apparently his style has followed as the Mallorcan Matador debuted cropped, and very pretty, locks and the Nike Longer Length Tennis Short which are, ironically, shorter than his trademark Capri Pants.
Whatever the reason, Rafa looks more confident and more comfortable in his own skin these days.

The County Fair is On!
- next ›
- 656 of 735
- ‹ previous
I admit it. I have become a county fair junky. For me the annual County Fair is something like the public library. The fair, just like the library, has something for everyone. The Fair, just like the library, is a place to discover something new. The Fair, just like the library, is entirely democratic. The Fair, like the library, can be a little messy, a little noisy, and a great deal of fun.
Why Bother Attending?
Maybe you think of the county fair as a place to admire the largest zucchini or watch pig races. If you do, you won't be wrong. But for me, the fair is a lot more than that.
Sure, I like a pig race as much as the next gal, and I am agog at the gardening skills of some of my neighbors, but I love the democratic ideals of a county fair. I am never going to be famous for my cooking or my painting or my woodworking, but I can pay a small entry fee and my watercolor landscape will be hung in a gallery for ten full days to be admired by my neighbors. What could be more democratic than that?
Get Inspired
For me the County Fair is a place to get inspired. I can walk through the quilt exhibit and plan my next project. I can look at the display of collections and get ideas for how to organize all those theatre ticket stubs I have stuffed in the back of a desk drawer.
I can learn what smocking is and get ideas for decorating my daughter's next birthday cake. Because we live on the Peninsula, the San Mateo County Fair also includes plenty of new technology. I can build the best solar oven or enter my podcast. Maybe I should learn how to make a podcast and impress my teenagers. Heck, if I follow through on just one of these ideas, I'll feel like I have a successful year!
After Your Visit, Check Out These Library Materials
The San Mateo County Fair closed on June 20, but there is still time to enjoy other fairs!
The Marin County Fair runs from July 1 through July 5 and the Santa Clara County Fair will be open from August 5-August 8. Your time to visit is limited, but your year of inspiration can start now.
Check out some of our library books to get ready for next year's contests. Want to win that Best of Show ribbon for having the best compost? Check out Compost Specialist. Inspired to learn jam making? Borrow Blue Ribbon Preserves. Want to organize your own collections? Try At Home with Pictures: Arranging and Displaying Photos, Artwork and Collections. Maybe you are ready to try your hand at some beautiful cupcakes so you'll be ready to enter the annual cupcake competition. What's New Cupcake should give you a place to start. I don't know which exhibits will inspire you, but no matter what strikes your fancy, the library will support your new interest.
See you in the exhibit halls. And next year, maybe your pickles will be on that shelf next to mine.

It seems everyone loves the hit HBO series "Game of Thrones," – even real-life royalty.
Britain's Queen Elizabeth toured the show's sets during a three-day trip to Belfast, Ireland.
The 88-year-old monarch met many of the show's stars on Tuesday, including Lena Headey, Kit Harington, Sophie Turner and Maisie Williams, beside the show's sword-covered seat of power, the Iron Throne. No word on how it compared to the one at her house.
Earlier this year, HBO announced that the TV series, based on books by George R.R. Martin, has set the record as the most popular show in network history.
The show's creators, David Benioff and Dan Weiss, escorted the royals through the large indoor studio and showed them a variety of props and costumes.
The monarch was given a souvenir version of the Iron Throne before she embarked on the rest of her three-day royal tour of the country.

Collectively we are getting dumber as a nation. We are relying too heavily on computers to do all the work for us. We don't have to remember anything because we can use our space phones to look up any information about anything in a matter of seconds. Since there is literally an app for everything, we no longer have to use our short-term memory to, well, remember anything.
I just recently upgraded my Microsoft Word from the 2002 edition to 2008. One of the major changes that occurred was the positioning of "spell check." It went from being about � of the way down on the "Tools" drop down menu to the #1 spot. I'm not one to hate on the spell check cause I am one of the worst spellers in the world, you should see all the red lines. I love spell check, but much like the calculators on our phones, it is taking away from simple knowledge that our brains should use everyday.
When I fill out applications for jobs, on-site, I have to use smaller words like, "fast" because I just don't know how to spell "efficiently" correctly. I am literally embarrassed to use my tip calculator when I go out to dinner because I can't really figure out 20 percent, 9 percent if I'm at Tuckers. I can ballpark it, but what if I'm not spot on? Then I look like a dick.
In this day and age, we should rise above the computers and use our real brains to outsmart their fake, emotionless harddrives. If we don't start now, how do you think the perceived computer takeover is going to go? The robots will slowly out-tip us, out-spell us, out-Jeopardy us, and soon out-think us.
This weekend was the release of the newest installment in the Final Destination series, THE Final Destination and, much like THE Ohio State, it's nothing special.
This weekend was a good weekend for walking around the city. The summer weather was finally gracing us with its presence and the rain was holding off for the day. Following a long night of taking in the arts at Final Friday, I awoke with a slight headache that could only be cured with greasy food and a tall glass of lemonade.
Every time I visit other cities or countries I tend to notice how attractive people are compared to my hometown. If you go to New York City, yeah you are going to see movie stars and models, but the population in general always seems to be more attractive than any of the major cities in the Midwest.
There goes the neighborhood…library. So Governor Ted "Bear" Strickland wants to cut 50 percent of the funds for the Cincinnati and Hamilton Public Libraries so he doesn't have to be a meanie and raise taxes.
I rarely go to the movies anymore. I'm just too poor to spend $10 to see something I can download for free shortly after the release date.
I really want everyone to know that I'm going green, but it's hard to do! I don't really invite people over to my house so they can't see my garden, compost flies or my gray water system. I don't have a Toyota Prius. I don't even have a car. So no one sees that I don't have a car, and if they do see me out walking, they probably think the car is at my house. With the addition of our solar panels and gutter water wheels we are now completely off the grid, so no one can look up how little I'm spending on electric. I ride my bikes around the city but since I switch from my 10-speed to my single speed to my fixie all the time, no one realizes it's the same guy riding all those bikes. I'm doing all these green things but no one knows how green I am. I thought all my efforts were going to waste, but I found a way to let people know that I'm the greenest dude in town!
One of my favorite things to do is ride my bike around the city. Whether it's for exercise, transportation or recreation, I always feel great getting on the big black bull and flying around the city. I was riding today after work, heading down Spring Grove and was wondering to myself, "When is the city going to repave this street?"
Wednesday I decided to go down to Sawyer Point for the Party in the Park. All my friends are starting to be douchebags, so I thought to myself, "Charlie, why not go network and make friends, like Facebook, irl (in real life)?" Since it was a nice night, I thought I would take the new hybrid buses downtown. I also brought along my guitar to practice my scales and just play look cool. My first attempt at making friends included me playing some John Mayer songs on my guitar.
Dear Vortex,
I really want you to know that you have my support. I know things are getting tough now a days with the new additions to the park. Two fancy ass rollercoasters have been intruding on your fame and stealing your thrill warriors. What does the Cedar Fair Entertainment Company think they are doing?

Although we have a couple nice catching prospects in the minors (Vasquez and Swihart) Both are probably still at least 2 years away. To me, Lavarnway hasnt proved he can handle a FT role as a catcher. Ross is a PT guy at this point in his career, if he even returns after 2 concussions this year.
Salty is never going to be an elite backstop and none of us whop have been defending him the last couple years have even suggested that. With that said, besides McCann, who would be extremely pricey and in demand this off season, there isnt much out there. Salty can give you average defense and above average offense. Hes a smart catcher who understands what is going on at all time. The fangraphs interview shows exactly that.
Personally, I would look for a 3-4 year deal for Salty at around 8M per.

Skip the clerical work. Bring on the client meetings, mentoring and day-to-day business.
That's the best tack to take with young financial advisers just starting in the business. Increasingly, senior advisers are following that approach, providing hands-on learning when preparing new talent for advisory careers.
"When we're hiring someone, we want to expose them to everything — every aspect of what it takes to be with the firm," said Jessica Ness, director of financial planning at Glassman Wealth Services LLC. She was a featured panelist on "Success Stories: Tales from the Trenches," a session held during InvestmentNews' NextGen Virtual Career Fair.
Newcomers to Glassman get not only a flavor for meetings, phone calls and the relationship side, but a sense on which of their abilities is best suited for the business. Compatibility with firm culture is a must.
"With new hires and interns, we want to make sure they meet everyone in the firm — everyone has to have the same buy-in," Ness said. "For the new folks out there, you need to like the people you're working with as people. You want to be comfortable with your new boss."
Summer associates at Fox Joss & Yankee LLC also hit the ground running. Rather than have interns make copies and fetch coffee, the firm aims to prepare them for the workload of an associate adviser. "They don't do any business development, but they do everything else," said Laurie A. Belew, senior financial adviser. "They sit in on investment committee meetings, put together financial snapshots, and prepare for client meetings."
Travis Russell, an assistant director of financial planning at Glassman Wealth Services LLC, describes successful advisers as being "ambitious — the advisers that want to go out and get it." Sure enough, he attended his first client meeting on his 11th day in the office.
Still, missteps are a major part of starting out. Panelist Ginnie Baker, associate financial adviser at Fox Joss & Yankee, said her biggest mistake was not asking for help when she needed it. "Knowing what you can handle and finding out what's too much for you" is crucial, she said.
Enter the concept of "borrowed trust." "One little mistake can chip away at that trust, and it takes a long time to earn it back," Belew said. "Triple check your work, but if you make a mistake, own it and don't try to cover it up."
Advisers suggested that entrants consider obtaining designations, such as the Certified Financial Planner, which show their commitment to the profession and convey greater credibility when they're working with wealthy clients. "For the younger generation, sitting across from someone with $5 million or $10 million — they want to know that you're knowledgeable and not just straight out of school," Russell said.
Ness suggested that women starting out in the male-dominated advisory industry assert themselves. "It poses an opportunity and a challenge," she said. "Women like working with women. We have a different communication style. Where it's a challenge is the work-life balance — having an 18-month-old son and a full-time job is a challenge."
Above all, authenticity and straightforwardness are key characteristics for young advisers to be successful, said Josh Brown, panel moderator and adviser at Fusion Analytics Investment Partners LLC. "Most of the time, [clients] recognize that I say what I think," he said. "In this era, that's what they're looking for. Even if it's not a fun answer, they're happy to get that answer from me. They know I'm telling them the truth."

Is there a way to change the 'beep' sound that the reminder notification gives to a different sound? I find the beep too short and indistinct if I'm away from my computer. If I can change it to something more distinct it would be very helpful.

MET Terra Helmet $0.00
Visors are intended to block the sun, and are a necessity when popping in and out of a canopy at high speeds -- you don't have time to adjust for the quickly changing light conditions. MET's Terra Helmet is equipped with an adjustable visor for just this reason, but they take its propose a step further by incorporating it into the Terra's ventilation.
MET's integration of the visor into the Terra Helmet's air intake system permits better flow for a cooler helmet. And cooling is something MET takes seriously, as they developed a protocol to measures a helmets performance in terms of ventilation. They call it the Air Scale. Simply put, it measures two essential parameters -- the Head Contact Surface (HCS) and Cooling Factor (CF).
The HSC indicates, with a percentage, how much of the head is in contact with the helmet. This lets them design the HSC so it's at a minimum, in this case 65%. This helps the Terra decrease heat buildup and gives it a CF of 6.5 out of ten. For comparisons sake, MET's XC helmets average 7.5-8.5 on this scale, and because of the need for more protection, this helmet's fuller coverage causes it to be slightly warmer.
To assist the 21 vents and 360 degrees of ventilation, anti-allergentic interior pads encouraging rapid evaporation of perspiration for excellent comfort. The pads aren't for impact protection, however, that's left to the Integral-In-Molding construction. In-molding means the shell and outer are bonded during the manufacturing process. The shock resistant shell is fused to the impact absorbing EPS foam inside.
Keeping the Terra in place and snug over rough terrain is the Safe-T Twist 2 click-wheel fit system. It features one handed dial adjustment that's perfect for on-the-fly adjustments even with gloves on. The Terra's pads are washable and easy to remove. MET equips the Terra Helmet with reflective elements for low light safety. It comes in either Medium or Large, and four colors; Matte White, Matte Red, Matte Black, and Camo Black.

good helmet
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
this a great helmet like others have stated.
The fit was spot on and was a comfortable helmet.
Looks good as well.
Awesome MTB helmet
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
This thing is amazingly light for how much protection it gives; it has great coverage on the sides and back. Fit is super comfortable and best of all, it looks cool! I've ridden with this thing about a dozen times now and it's already saved my dome some serious pain once. I would absolutely recommend this helmet for anyone who wants AM protection with XC weight.
As an added bonus, according to the warranty paper in the box the manufacturer will replace the helmet at a discount if you do crash and compromise it. Just another thing to love about this helmet.
MET Terra Helmet
Awesome Helmet!!!

A friend of mine was looking for a helmet without paying too much and that also have good quality,looks good and provide good protection. The task was hard based on a limited $$ budget. I came across the MET Terra Helmet, great quality, good protection and looks really cool. To complete this,was on discount. My friend saw it online and gave thumbs up for the helmet. When I used it for the first time to test it, I was overwhelmed by its construction, the fitting and lot of ventilation.
Great Helmet

Seniors Jesus Hermosillo, Spencer Kotch and Astolfo Rojo and sophomores Dylan Kotch and Nicholas Ortner earned their way to the Colorado 2A State Wrestling championships at the Pepsi Center in Denver Feb. 21-23.
Hermosillo at 195 lbs. and Dylan Kotch at 220 won regional championships Saturday, Feb. 16 at NJC in Sterling. Spencer Kotch was runner-up at 170 lbs., while Ortner placed fourth at 138 lbs., and Rojo was fourth at 182.
Coach Jack Garrison said he's pretty happy with the troop he's taking to state. "Always, as a coach, you want to take more," said Garrison, but he's excited for those who are going. Additionally, he noted all five were bracketed well in the state tournament.
Holyoke High School state qualifying wrestlers are pictured with their coaches, from left, Nicholas Ortner, Spencer Kotch, coach Jack Garrison, Astolfo Rojo, coach Dusty McConnell, Jesus Hermosillo, Dylan Kotch and coach Cutter Garrison.
All the HHS seniors who wrestled in the regional tourney qualified for state, and Garrison was especially pleased with that. Senior Ben Martinez broke his hand the week before regionals, so ended his season a week early.
Hermosillo and Dylan Kotch both enter the state tournament ranked second in their respective weight divisions. This is the second trip to the state mats for both regional champs.
Hermosillo was 2-2 at last year's state tournament and was just one round from placing. His losses were to the eventual second- and fifth-place finishers. He takes a strong 36-5 record into this year's state tourney. He will meet senior Drew Collins (9-4) from Rangely in the first round.
Dylan Kotch gained good mat experience at state last year as a freshman. He lost a one-point decision to the eventual fourth-place finisher. This year he sports a 26-6 record and will face senior Elliott Blessman (12-16), a senior from LaVeta, in the opening round.

East Hartford, CT (Sports Network) - Lyle McCombs ran for 120 yards and a
score on 29 carries as Connecticut took a 24-17 win over Pittsburgh in Big
East play.
Chandler Whitmer went 19-for-25 with 213 yards, one touchdown and one
interception while Ryan Griffin had six catches for 84 yards and a score for
the Huskies (4-6, 1-4 Big East), who got their first conference win and
snapped a four-game losing streak.
Tino Sunseri passed for 302 yards and two touchdowns on 19-of-34 attempts
while Drew Carswell and Mike Shanahan each caught a touchdown for the Panthers
(4-6, 1-4), who have dropped their past two games.
The Huskies opened the game with the ball and ran 11 plays over 6 1/2 minutes
to get into the end zone. Griffin, who earlier in the drive had caught a 23-
yard pass that saw him hurdle over a defender, grabbed a 2-yard score for a
7-0 lead.
Following a three-and-out from Pitt, UConn got the ball back at its own 27 and
moved 61 yards over 12 plays, capped by a 29-yard field goal from Chad
Christen with 1:43 left in the first for a 10-0 lead.
The Panthers got into scoring position and tried a 44-yard field goal early in
the second, but Kevin Harper missed.
The Huskies quickly punted, as did the Panthers, but Nick Williams fielded the
punt at his own 20 then raced down the left sideline on an 80-yard score for a
17-0 lead.
McCombs' 2-yard touchdown run with 1:02 left in the first half staked the
Huskies to a 24-0 lead. The drive covered 61 yards over six plays and was
highlighted by a 22-yard catch by Griffin.
Pitt got a 42-yard field goal from Harper to open the second half to get on
the board.
In a drive that spanned the third and fourth quarters, Sunseri capped it with
an 11-yard strike to Carswell for a 24-10 game with 13:37 to play.
Shanahan caught an 18-yard score with 2:46 to play to make it a one-score
game, but UConn was able to get the first downs it needed and ran out the

Hi there,
I'm looking to rsync our Zimbra backup directory to another host just to have it on another physical box for DR purposes. I've run through some of the wiki articles on backup but am getting stuck with generating the keypair and having them function as expected. My setup is as follows:
ZCA Release zca-220.127.116.111542
ZCS Build 8.0.4.GA.5737.UBUNTU10.64 NETWORK edition.
My Zimbra server as the "source" machine.
The destination is another box with SSH enabled.
I've created a user zimbra on the destination box. All local commands on the zimbra box are executed as user zimbra. From my zimbra server I've run a functioning rsync of /opt/zimbra/backup to the destination using a password so I know the functionality of rsync works. I've run:
ssh-copy-id -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub zimbra@destination and verified I see the public key on my destination box. After verifying running "ssh destination" as the zimbra user I still am being prompted for a password. I also used id_dsa.pub as well with no luck. Permissions on the destination folder are 700 for .ssh and 600 for known_hosts.
I'm sure this is something simple I'm missing.

Sick board!!
I will never ride a rockered board again! I usually ride a 143 but went down to the 140 cause I wanted a smaller board and it is perfect. It is super easy to press and locks into rails real nice, and it is so fast and great on jumps. It's slightly heavier than my lobster but still a pretty light board overall.

Fan not needed. "Sufficiently kick your ass" is a correct assessment
As a former competitive rider just getting back into it for fun, I am as happy as you could hope to be with rollers. I used the large diameter Kreitlers in the 80's and I recall needing the wind-load simulator fan in order to really work. NOT SO with these. The rollers alone provide an ample workout for me. I estimate these provide 75% of the normal resistance you experience outside for a given gear on a flat road with no wind. It would be interesting to know if Kreitler has a more accurate equivilency.
Ok, I'm so confused. I use 2.25" diameter...
Ok, I'm so confused. I use 2.25" diameter drums and they are definitely a workout in higher gears. But they're definitely spin-able if I use lower gears. If I add the Resistance Fan for some cooling breeze and to make it a bit harder, am I just asking for death or is anyone using this combo successfully?
Having used the fan, and as one who does hard sessions on the smaller rollers myself, (no fan) my opinion is that the blower is way overkill with the smaller roller. You would wind up riding small gears which is of course less stable on rollers. I have used the blower with the 4 inch drums and that works very well because the larger drum provides significantly less resistance on it's own. The key piece of this, and a major detail missing from the BC description, is that the blower provides variable resistance. There is a little door on the side of that turbine that regulates how much air it's able grab. Full closed = not much harder than no fan at all. Full open simulates the kind of headwind that makes you use every swear word ever heard. "Kreitler Killer" is the perfect product name. Again, just my opinion but the blower is really FOR doing HARD roller intervals where a partner is opening and closing the little door for you based on time, heart rate scream volume, time between dry heaves.... Anyway I would forget about the fan cooling you off and consider the blower if you want to do masochistic interval sessions. (I once got so trashed doing "blower intervals" that I fell off the damn rollers and broke a bone in my hand.) For cooling, there's a great home fan called a "Vornado"I can recommend.
Online review from Slowtwitch
RealCyclist is real good Can't Post
I just wanted to share an experience I had with the people at realcyclist.com. For those of you who don't know, they are the same people that run bonktown, chainlove, huchnroll and I think Backcountry.com and backcountryoutlet.
I ordered a Kreitler flywheel from them. The box broke open in transit. The UPS driver leaned the box up against the door to protect the broken seal, so clearly had noticed it. The flywheel was a little scuffed (no big deal) but the drive belt was missing. I talked to UPS who sent a driver to examine the packaging. There wasn't anything to see because all it was just an open box - the problem was that the box was open when it came to me - so they "resolved" the complaint - meaning they closed it without doing anything.
I called realcyclist, spoke with Tayler who suggested that I send the flywheel back for replacement. I suggested that it might be easier just to order a new belt - I was fully prepared to pay for it. He said he would check their inventory and get back to me. A few hours later I had a voicemail that they didn't have any extra belts but that they would order one from Kreitler for me. Two days later, it showed up at my house, direct from Kreiter.
I'm impressed. That is pretty good service. Although I buy mostly from my LBS, I will probably order from them again.
Can you stand on these to simulate...
Can you stand on these to simulate climbing?
Not very easily, but with practice it is possible. It takes a tremendous amount of balance/skill to stand up on rollers. Rollers require an even amount of pressure through the pedal stroke which builds good technique. Stomping on the pedals will force the bike to wash out from underneath you. A standard trainer might be a better route if you plan on doing extended standing right away.
Do the Kreitler 2.25 Rollers have alloy...
Do the Kreitler 2.25 Rollers have alloy or polycarbonate end caps?
They're offered with your choice. Alloy look to be $444.95 and the Polycarbonate are $338.95. The alloy are more and for good reason......much, much better resilience.Hope that helps.
Great Rollers
Kreitler is known as the top-of-the-line for a good reason, no need to harp on the many good points to that end already made. The 2.25s, in my opinion, get somewhat of the short end of the stick - they are great for any serious athelete. I'm certainly not a world-level athelete, and these rollers provide the perfect level or resistance for a huge variety of rides - spinning at 60-80 in a low gear provides the same resistance as cruising on a long ride, granted your wheel is only spinning at 13-15mph, but you're not on a road, so what difference does it make? You still push a couple hundred watts for a couple hours. And for hard workouts and tempo rides? These rollers have a much higher theoretical top-end than the larger diameter versions, I can spin out in my highest gear on the bigger ones, can't on this one. This coupled with the wind-generator gives the broadest possible range of workouts of any of the Kreitler line, in my opinion.

WHEELING - When Wheeling Park baseball coach Mike McLeod was watching his team's battle with Brooke on Wednesday, he couldn't help but to think about boxing.
''We knew we were going to get their best punch,'' he said. ''They came out of the gate swinging. It just reminded me of an old classic boxing match. They punched us and we punched back.''
It took the Patriots an extra inning, however, to deliver the knockout blow as an Eric Banks hit into left field drove in Justice Jackson to give Park a 7-6 triumph against the upset-minded Bruins at Wheeling Park High School.

Brooke's Heath Hildreth (3) delivers during Wednesday's game against Wheeling Park. He finished with 8 strikeouts in 2 innings.
''I knew that coming in it was a big game for sectional seeding,'' McLeod said. ''Luckily when the final bell rung, we got a nice hit. We battled back and scratched back and persevered.''
Brooke (2-13) did receive some help early on from the Patriots (15-1) because two of the three runs the Bruins scored in first inning came off of walks as Heath Hildreth and Alec Buchmelter strolled across home plate without even breaking a sweat.
''Somehow, someway, and I don't know why, but for some reason our younger pitchers, I don't know if they don't prepare or they don't warm up right, but they have a hard time finding the plate early,'' McLeod pointed out. ''You can't defend walks. When you're walking people, no matter how good your defense is, you can't defend them.''
The Bruins added another run in the third after Chad Harper scored on a wild pitch to take a 4-0 lead and led to McLeod taking Eric McCave out of the game in favor of Eric Crow.
Park then started to come back in the bottom half of the inning as Matt Hackathorn drove in Jackson and Trevor Stewart to make it 4-2.
An inning later, Ethan Jacobs scored on a wild pitch before Jackson doubled to bring in Andrew Kowalo. Stewart cleared the way for Jesse Hartley and Jackson on the next at bat as the senior doubled into right field for a 6-5 Patriots lead.
It was a pitching duel between Hildreth, who threw every one for the Bruins during the marathon, and Crow for the next two innings, before Matt Brooks took over for the Park junior.
Just as the sun seemed to be setting on Brooke, Russell Schwertfeger tripled deep into right field and scored on a wild pitch to tie the game, 6-6.
''That was big for us,'' Bruins coach Ron Ujcich said. ''That puts us back in the ball game. (Schwertfeger's) a kid that's a legitimate triple threat. You get him to third and he has a potential to score real easily.''
Park looked like it would seal the deal in the seventh with two men on, but Hartley hit a line drive right into the glove of Buchmelter and the game moved into extra innings.
The Bruins went in order in the eighth and a balk and a sacrifice bunt moved Jackson to third for Park to set up Bank's walk-off hit.
''I'm pleased with the effort out of my guys,'' Ujcich said. ''They never quit. They could have very easily laid their heads down a few times, but they didn't. They kept fighting back in it.''
According to McLeod, he expected nothing less from the Patriots' long- time rival.
''It's Brooke/Park. It's a rivalry no matter what you're doing. If you're pitching rocks across the river, Park wants to beat Brooke and Brooke wants to beat Park. They had us on the ropes and luckily we battled back.''

Part 19: It's About (Painting) Time!Written by on June 1, 2004 Valiant Effort gets ready for Paint
It's a phrase I have heard repeatedly for more than a year: "When are you going to paint that thing?" Well, for those of you who asked, the answer is now. I have also heard a lot of suggestions against painting the car, and although I listened to both sides--we gotta paint this thing!
So what does it take to paint a car? That depends. do you want to do it right or just cover it with something? I don't know about you guys, but if I'm going to do it, I'm gonna try to do it right the first time. Originally, I had planned to do the entire job in my home garage, but I quickly realized my limitations. painting a car in the garage attached to my home would cause some serious repercussions when the overspray and fumes made their way inside the house. To that end, I did some checking and realized if I did the assembly and reassembly myself, and maybe some of the bodywork, I could save some coinage and my happy home life.
So it was decided, and I began to disassemble the Valiant at home. For those of you following the project, and for those of you who have never tackled an automotive strip fest, we thought we would give you some pointers about how we did it. Before undertaking a project like this, it's a good idea to find out what parts are available from the aftermarket. Taking things apart that have been together for 30-plus years can result in some of the parts not surviving and having to be replaced. it's a good idea to know at the beginning of the project (before you start disassembly) what you need to look for. Make sure you have catalogs from the aftermarket that pertain to your car. We grabbed the latest Year One "shopping guide" and made a list of every part available for the car, even if we weren't sure we would need it later. If you make a complete list, you can whittle it down as you go. If you don't put it on the list, it may get forgotten. Above all, take your time, take pictures, and label everything. Sure, we would all like to think that we are all-knowing gurus when it comes to our personal cars, but if your car sits disassembled in your garage, then in the body shop for an extended period of time, how sure will you be about its reassembly? keep in mind your limitations. For example, when you need to remove the glass, and you're not sure how to do it, get someone with experience to help. With the help and support of friends and people-in-the-know, restoring your own car can be a rewarding experience.
Mopar Manuals on CD
An undertaking such as this is not for everyone. There is a lot more work involved than you might realize, until you actually do it. If for some strange reason you're like us and enjoy this kind of stuff, a good resource to have on hand is a service manual specific to your car. For us, it makes perfect sense to have it in the garage, but it will inevitably get ruined. Another problem is finding a place to put a fullsize manual while you're working. We decided early on we would need a manual for many of the projects we have undertaken with our Valiant. so we contacted Mopar Manuals on CD and got a copy of the Valiant's service manual. Now we only need to print out the page or pages we need, and we don't have a bulky manual falling off the side of a fender or the workbench.

Body Shoppin'
So how do you know where to take your car for paint? Choosing a body shop can be a daunting task, but, luckily, Mopar enthusiasts are always glad to give their opinions of a shop's quality, demeanor, and service. Most of the time, word of mouth is a good advertiser.
Cost also plays a large part in the process of choosing a shop. Quality shops may charge between $50 and $80 an hour for labor. If you have a buddy, who has a friend, who has a cousin, whose father knows a guy, be a little shy about handing over your pride and joy without first seeing some of this guy's work. Also try to find some cars with a few years of a restoration under their belts and see how well they have fared.
So now you've found the shop you think can handle the painting of your car. Some things to keep in mind: 1) Keep in touch with the shop. If the shop is constantly seeing and hearing from you, they will realize you want your car back and will be motivated to spend more time on it. 2) Never, and I repeat, never tell the shop to fix your car as if it were their own. It's the old adage--Cobbler's kids never have new shoes. 3) Another bad statement, "Work on it when you have time." Trust us, if you tell the shop owner that you're not in a hurry, he won't be either.
We are quite confident in our selection of Muscle car Restorations in Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin. Muscle car Restorations has been restoring award-winning cars since 1989. But we really do not want a car that will win an O.E. Gold certification at the Nats. Heck, a Bronze certification isn't even in the plans. What we do want is a good-quality paint job, that with proper care will last more than a summer of cruising all over the Eastern seaboard and midwestern portions of this country. We spoke with proprietor John Balow and expressed our concerns. He replied that he doesn't want to be known as only a 100-point concours restoration shop. The crew at MCR has done several cars for customers who were looking for the same things as we are. According to John, "We [MCR] have done work ranging from paint only to just prepping a shell we received and applying the paint. We are willing to hear what the customers tell us they want and work with them on achieving that."
So keeping in mind you are trusting this shop with your car--and let's not forget your hard-earned cash--do you know what to look for? a shop with the proper facilities, a top-notch staff, and integrity should be at the top of your list. We found that at Muscle car Restorations.

The first thing is to make sure you have plenty of room. A two-car garage can be enough, if you only have one car in it. Since the car will become immobile during disassembly, place it in the center of the garage on jackstands and start removing parts.The junkyard 360 we have been running in the Valiant has been faithful in its service. Don't worry, it ain't going anywhere, even if another engine takes its place. What a test mule the 360 will make.Our homemade exhaust system pulled from the bottom. Hey, it worked. We didn't cut it up when we removed it, so it can go back in. Why replace something if you don't have to?Having friends around is a huge help when removing the big parts, such as a Gear Vendors-equipped four-speed.In this picture, the bushings that go with the wiper motor are shown; therefore it's a reference for how it goes back together.Try to keep all similar pieces together. Ziploc bags are great for this. They are an inexpensive way to organize and label.This is one of the reasons you should take the time to make sure you get the job done right the first time. If we hadn't removed the dash to completely paint the body, we would have had a subpar job.
Another good idea is to take pictures of all the wire routings before you start pulling them out. A Polaroid or digital camera are invaluable for this.If you are sending your car to a body shop, take pictures of the repairs you want them to make. it will help avoid any miscommunication. This image is of the driver-side inner fender. Since we wanted some of the extra holes filled, we printed the photo, drew arrows to the holes we wanted filled, and gave it to the shop.Also take pictures of particular fasteners. With this image, we can correctly identify the correct fasteners to attach the grille and headlight bezels.When looking for a competent shop, take a look around at the entire business. At MCR, customers' cars are never left to sit outside. Look at it this way--you have trusted this shop with your pride and joy. Do you want it outside where the weather or vandals can get to it? Not a problem at MCR.One of the first things done at MCR is to get the plan on paper. We walked around the car and made sure MCR knew what we expected. This is done on all cars, and a game plan is established early in the process to avoid any confusion later.Here is a shot of the assembly room. Each car is assigned a space in the building, and only the parts pertaining to the car are in that area. This again avoids any confusion, and each car is assured special attention until finished.Are the parts from your car going to get lost or misplaced? At MCR, each car is assigned a cart, so all the parts removed have a central location and will not get misplaced.All bodywork is done in a separate building from reassembly. a state-of-the-art spray booth is paramount for a quality paint job.

Surgery as a Treatment for Medically Intractable Epilepsy

- How to Read a Study Record
- Medically intractable epilepsy is the term used to describe epilepsy that cannot be controlled by medication. Many people whose seizures do not respond to medication will respond to surgical treatment, relieving seizures completely or almost completely in one-half to two-thirds of patients who qualify for surgery. The tests and surgery performed as part of this treatment are not experimental, but researchers are interested in training more neurologists and neurosurgeons in epilepsy surgery and care in order to better understand epilepsy and its treatment.
- To use surgery as a treatment for medically intractable epilepsy in children and adults.
- Children and adults at least 8 years of age who have simple or complex partial seizures (seizures that come from one area of the brain) that have not responded to medication, and who are willing to have brain surgery to treat their medically intractable epilepsy.
- Participants will be screened with a medical history, physical examination, and neurological examination. Imaging studies, including magnetic resonance imaging and computer-assisted tomography (CT), may also be conducted as part of the screening. Participants who do not need surgery or whose epilepsy cannot be treated surgically will follow up with a primary care physician or neurologist and will not need to return to the National Institutes of Health for this study.
- Prior to the surgery, participants will have the following procedures to provide information on the correct surgical approach.
- Video electroencephalography monitoring to measure brain activity during normal activities within a 24-hour period. Three to four 15-minute breaks are allowed within this period.
- Wada test to evaluate speech, comprehension, and memory centers of the brain, using a contrast dye to study the blood vessels of the brain and a short-term anesthetic administration procedure to test the effects on areas of speech and memory.
- Depth electrodes and/or brain surface electrodes to measure brain activities and determine the part of the brain that is responsible for the seizures (seizure focus).
- Participants will have a surgical procedure at the site of their seizure focus. Brain lesions, abnormal blood vessels, tumors, infections, or other areas of brain abnormality will be either removed or treated in a way that will stop or help prevent the spread of seizures without affecting irreplaceable brain functions, such as the ability to speak, understand, move, feel, or see.
- Participants will return for outpatient visits and brain imaging studies 2 months, 1 year, and 2 years after surgery.

|Estimated Enrollment:
|Study Start Date:
|December 2010
This protocol is being performed to study the normal human biology and disease pathogenesis (natural history) in patients with medically intractable epilepsy, 2) provide standard surgical treatment of medically intractable epilepsy, 3) follow the course of patients after epilepsy surgery, and 4) to investigate neurophysiological correlates of human cognitive processes such as memory, learning, attention, language, perception, and action. Neurophysiologic recordings will be compared with those in the resting awake state and during sleep.. Any treatment under this protocol will be based on the current standard of care for epilepsy surgery.
Study Population
Patients 8 years and older whose seizures are uncontrollable with medication may participate in this study.
Study Design
Patients will be screened by study neurologists to confirm their diagnosis of medically intractable epilepsy. Patients that do not have a confirmed diagnosis of medically intractable epilepsy will be offered further evaluation in protocol 01-N-0139, Evaluation and Treatment of Patients with Epilepsy. Patients confirmed to have medically intractable epilepsy will be offered standard invasive and non-invasive diagnostic and surgical procedures. Diagnostic invasive monitoring with intracranial electrodes for further localization of their seizure focus may be required. The ultimate goal is to surgically remove or modify the epileptic focus. Standard procedures to be performed are 1) anterior temporal lobectomy or 2) amygdalohippocampectomy for temporal lobe epilepsy, 3) focal cortical resection for epilepsy that arises outside the temporal lobe, 4) removal of brain lesions causing epilepsy, and 5) multiple subpial transection.
In patients in whom invasive monitoring is medically necessary, neurophysiologic activity during cognitive tasks will be captured from intracranial surface and depth electrodes. Analysis will focus on the role of neuronal firing and aggregate neural activity 1) during cognitive function, 2) in other states such as wakefulness and sleep, and 3) during periods of time surrounding seizure activity.
Patients will be followed for two years after the surgical procedure and will receive standard neurological examinations and MRI evaluation of the brain. Patients who do not have surgical resection of epileptogenic tissue will complete participation after the three-month post-op visit. Participants in this protocol will be evaluated for potential eligibility for other NINDS clinical trials.
Outcome Measures
The primary outcome measure is the change in seizure frequency, as measured by the Engel scale before and 1 year after treatment. Secondary outcome measures include 1) percentage of patients who are able to be completely withdrawn from anti-epileptic medication; 2) percentage of patients who are seizure-free (Engel Class I); 3) mean Engel Class one year after surgery stratified by the type of surgical procedure; 4) percentage of patients with permanent neurological side-effects from surgical treatment; 5) incidence of serious complications of epileptic seizures, and 6) neurophysiological correlates of cognitive function.
|Ages Eligible for Study:
|8 Years to 100 Years
|Genders Eligible for Study:
|Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
To be eligible for entry into the study, candidates must meet all the following criteria:
- Be 8 years of age or older.
- Have simple or complex partial seizures.
- Seizures must persist despite medical therapy (medically intractable epilepsy).
- Able to give informed consent, or have a parent able to provide informed consent if a child.
- Agree to undergo brain surgery if indicated to treat medically intractable epilepsy.
Candidates will be excluded if they:
- Are pregnant (women of childbearing age will be tested with a urine pregnancy test and will have agreed to avoid being pregnant by practicing a reliable form of contraception or by abstinence from sexual intercourse while undergoing evaluation for epilepsy surgery and for 1 month after epilepsy surgery).
- Cannot have an MRI scan.
