American Hot Rod - On The Road...Written by on December 5, 2006 Contributors: Dave Gil, Martin Nate ... And Behind the scenes with boyd coddington and the hit tv show American Hot Rod
By now all true-blue hot rodders and wanna-bes for that matter, are well aware of the slew of hot rod TV shows on the air now. My favorite, the Discovery Channel's American Hot Rod, is a continuing peek behind the scenes at the goings on at the shop of the father of big-name rod builders--Boyd Coddington. And though my career as a magazine editor has brought me into close contact with many of the industry's biggest and best, it's still a huge honor to even be let into the inner sanctum of Boyd's shop, let alone to have been invited to participate in a bit of this coming season's show.
Now, since this issue will actually hit the newsstand before the new season starts and the episodes air, I'm gonna have to be a bit vague in my story telling--sort of a "What I did on my summer vacation" type of approach. I'll give you an idea of what went on, but you'll have to tune in to the new season's episodes (Fridays at 10pm Pacific) to get the entertaining details.
There's not too many things in the world that excite me more than the prospect of a hot rod road trip. For me, cruisin' cross country with an icon of the hot rodding world isn't an everyday occurrence by any means--and being able to hit the road for eight days with Boyd Coddington, some of his crew members, and the film crew from the Discovery Channel's American Hot Rod made for a dream vacation, for sure. The premise behind this road trip came about when a couple of the younger members of Boyd's crew started busting his chops over his tendency cutting-edge contemporary street rods over more traditional-styled hot rods. Well, one thing led to another and before you could say "split wishbones" the challenge was on. Boyd and that boisterous few decided to each build a traditional hot rod in a matter of weeks (while still working on the shop's never ending gaggle of customer projects) and then drive them from Boyd's shop in LaHabra, California to the NSRA Street Rod Nationals in Louisville, Kentucky. To add to the pressure, show producer Ian Jones and his crew would chronicle the builds and the road trip for all to see.
One way or another I managed to weasel my way into the mix and was invited to tag along as a neutral third party (hey, anything to get back on the blacktop in my Budget Beater). The prospect of gettin' my ugly mug on TV, even for a minute or two, made it all the more exciting. So, for the time being, follow along and check out these snapshots of the trip. It'll give you a taste of a few of this season's episodes and a look at what without a doubt was the most fun I've had in my career.

And off we go--a real live rodding icon and a mere mortal. Any idea which one had enough sense to build a rod with a roof?Since the cars were built on an extremely short timetable the guys worked their collective tails off to get 'em done in time for the trip. Every spare minute between regular shop projects was devoted to the hot rods and the guys seamed to genuinely enjoy whipping them together. Here you can see Al and Jimmy hard at work fabricating the foundation for Boyd's '26 T coupe....Here we see Scott working on the car's windshield frame--the severe chop required a lot of fitting to ensure that the tilt-out frame fit and worked well. There'll be no fancy air conditioning in this bad-boy.Just to let these young whipper-snappers know that he could design a way-cool traditional hot rod as easily as an award-winning cutting-edge street rod, Boyd designed and oversaw the building of his beater, as well. The kids just couldn't get it through their heads that Boyd was building hot rods while they were still being potty trained!As time quickly passed, Boyd's beater came together without a hitch. Here we see Boyd and Duane checking out some of the finishing touches on the coupe.As the weeks flew by a wrench was thrown into the works, and Boyd's original challenger ran into a rather insurmountable road block (again, you'll have to tune in for the gory details). This called for a crew meeting to decide what the next step would be. It was quickly decided that Mike would take up the challenge and build his version of a hot rod in an amazing nine days to keep the contest alive.With roughly a week to go, Mike and his co-workers worked like mad to turn a stock A pickup into a hot rod that'd make a cross-country trip and hopefully save face for the younger generation's bold challenge to Boyd. Here Jim and Dan are hard at work installing the alternator on the fresh flathead the boys shoehorned into the pickup.
Another snafu to overcome was a faulty fuel tank petcock. Boyd jumped--well, slid--in to lend a hand and fixed the problem in short order.Upon hearing of the ignition problem, body shop technician Andy jumped right in to give a hand. Unfortunately nobody told him that the distributor is on top of the engine--but hey, it's the thought that counts.Much to Mike's consternation, the film crew was recording the last-minute thrash to hit the road. Throughout the build the film crew was on station every minute the guys were and it meant some really long days.Finally, Mike's pickup was ready for a short test drive around the parking lot before we left. Neither rod had any more than a few miles under its belt before we all hit the road. In fact, the Budget Beater was the only one of the three to be truly tested, as it had recently made it cross-country on Americruise.While the pickup was clocking its first test mile, Boyd was busy venting. Ian and the camera crew wanted to know how he felt about being a day behind (we were to have left for Louisville the day before).......Never being one to mince words, Boyd good naturedly unloaded a bit and expressed his wish to hit the road already.While waiting to hit the road I spent a bit of time hanging out with my new friends on the film crew. I got Martin and Gil to stop working long enough for me to get a snapshot. As I said earlier, Producer Ian Jones and the whole Discovery Channel crew work nearly non-stop recording the daily goings on at the shop.Sound technition Kip was a bit harder to slow down, but he's always got a smile on his face--a great trait in an often stress-filled job.
Boyd and his lovely wife Jo led the way. The coupe runs as good as it looks and there were a lot of times that the Budget Beater and I had to work a bit to keep up.Mike and his pickup quickly settled into a groove and he and his brother were content to click away the miles listening to the unmistakable song of an un-corked flathead--it doesn't get any better than this, does it boys?Though we followed I-40 most of the way, we did enjoy racking up the miles on good ol' Route 66. Seeing America from the same perspective as millions of travelers before us was a blast, and the many mom 'n' pop diners and restaurants were a highlight of the trip. Here you can see our motley crew about to stuff our faces. Seated clockwise are Kevin, myself, Boyd, Jo, Martin, Ian, Raffi, and Eric. Kip, Jose', and Gil got stuck at a second table but still enjoyed a great home-cooked meal.Gas stops were, well, a gas. While the rest of us took the opportunity to stretch our legs, hit the restrooms, and grab some cold drinks and munchies, Boyd spent most of his time signing autographs and posing for pictures with fellow travelers and locals. People couldn't believe that we were actually driving these hot rods cross-country and got a huge kick out of meeting Boyd, Jo, and the guys from the shop. Me, I was just having a ball being with them on the road!One of the more remarkable hotels we stayed at was the Big Texan in Amarillo. Not only did it have rooms fashioned after a barn or something, but the restaurant boasted a free 72-ounce steak for anyone who could completely finish the meal. Let me tell ya, it made for an interesting evening, and for some, a rather interesting next morning to boot.The ignition gremlins seemed to plague Mike's pickup for most of the trip, prompting a bunch of good-natured I-told-you-so's from the Boyd camp.Camera van number two was manned by Martin as tail-gunner. Here we see Mike and Boyd neck and neck in the background.
...Boyd and I both experienced a couple of rather warm episodes during such times, but nothing a short rest and a cool drink didn't resolve.Gil was door-gunner for most of the trip. I liked his idea of using bunji cords from the grab handle to support the camera. That's using your head if you ask me.This was the view from the Budget Beater for most of the trip. Although, when Jo relieved Boyd at the wheel of the coupe it seemed as though it'd disappear into dot on the horizon rather quickly. I've since begun calling Jo "Lead Foot."The Nats were beginning to get hoppin' when we rolled in on Wednesday afternoon. By Thursday morning the crowd was packed around the Coddington contingent. We'd printed up People's Choice ballots so the show spectators and participants could vote on their favorite beater, either Boyd's T or Mike's A. (I didn't want to embarrass either of 'em so I left the Budget Beater off the ballot.)Since I had magazine duties to attend to upon our arrival at the Nats, I handed over the keys to the Budget Beater to the guys so they could do a bit of fairgrounds cruising. Andy took advantage and gave rides around the grounds. I'm not sure who had more fun, Andy or his passengers.The boys were able to find a few minutes to kick back and visit with some fans during the early morning hours.One of the things I enjoyed most was watching Boyd mingle with the crowd. Though I know he and Jo enjoyed the whole trip, it's quite evident that Boyd's favorite part was spending time with his fans. If I learned nothing else on this trip I did learn what a great guy Boyd really is. His smiles were never bigger than when he was making others smile.Jo Coddington is another one whose heart is as big as a hot rod. Her love of the little ones is quite evident and you can tell she really loves making people happy--just like her hubby.I normally present the awards for the ROD & CUSTOM Pros Pick competition each year at the NSRA Nationals, but this year I had the pleasure of naming the winner of the People's Choice award for the Boyd Coddington Beater Road Trip, as well. You'll just have to tune in to American Hot Rod on the Discovery Channel to find out who came out on top.
Well, I have to say being a part of this road trip was truly one of the highlights of my career. The friends I made and the times we had will be forever in my memory. And, if there are two things I can stress to you all at this point, it's to check out the new season of American Hot Rod, and to plan a cross-country trip with your own group of rodding friends--life doesn't get any better than this.

Did anyone try reaching out to State Street Global Advisors and asking if GLD's physical assets are insured? I contacted them at 866-320-4053 to ask if the physical gold bars are insured. They said that there is no insurance but at the same time they said HSBC bank has "some sort" of insurance on their holdings. Why won't they specify on this 'insurance'?
There are not many ways for the average investor to validate GLD's physical assets. Even the prospectus is full of legal writing removing liability. On top of everything, the GLD manager - State Street, has been shown to be less than trustworthy (Carina CDO, multiple instances of forex fraud). Is there a shred of credibility left in GLD?
Screw off you dolts. It doesn't even matter if GLD actually has gold or not so why would insurance matter?
You're kidding right?
GLD without actual gold is completely worthless.
Considering this is the sole purpose of GLD, it does matter that GLD actually holds physical gold.
GLD actually holding gold matters to every GLD investor I know. I strongly question your statement.
You really think an ETF that promises to be backed by gold without having gold will be successful? Are you serious?
I'm more than willing to bet that GLD will fold like a deck of cards if it was ever discovered that there was no real gold behind GLD. Heck, even the sketchiness of GLD's insurance is enough to keep me away from this shady investment vehicle.
I know many who would disagree with this statement. What is the point of investing in gold if you don't actually invest in gold?
Considering the number of investors who were unaware of GLD's sketchy insurance in this thread. I wonder how many more GLD buyers out there are completely oblivious of this issue.
From what I'm seeing, many are still unaware of GLD's shady insurance. I've caught a number of GLD investors off guard when asking about the specifics of GLD's insurance.
I tried to dig up information on GLD's insurance a long time ago and turned up nothing. The notion that GLD has any definitive insurance is laughable. Even if GLD's prospectus mentioned HSBC holding some kind of insurance policies, they are largely non-existent as proven by SSgA's inability to specify on these policies. No one to date has been able to answer: just how much of GLD's physical gold is insured?
I never gave GLD's insurance much thought so this is interesting. No one to date has been able to discover any hard numbers to GLD's insurance?
Definitely not since I'm still trying to find out such specifics of GLD's insurance.
I was probably the closest to reaching a definitive answer on this as I got a rep named Michael stating GLD's physical assets are fully insured. This turned out to be a blatant lie when I asked the World Gold Council to confirm this statement.
Not that I'm aware of.
JUST STOP CALLING SSGA WITH YOUR RETARDED INSURANCE QUESTIONS. You worthless old farts just need to lay off. Go back to your nursing home and rot.
When people talk about the costs of investing in gold, the costs usually refers to transportation, storage, and insurance. Many GLD investors are probably oblivious to the sketchy GLD's insurance but investors who want clarification on this subject are justified. Exactly how much of GLD's assets are insured? The million dollar question.
I tried researching GLD's insurance recently and it seems you are right. I specifically asked for numbers on how much of GLD's assets are insured and they just gave me a bunch of excuses. One excuses revolves around the "daily changes in amount of gold". Surely they can still insure a majority of the assets based on an average. Another excuse involved the 'event' that occurred. I was given some ridiculously farfetched examples such as physically stolen gold or war destroying the gold. A more reasonable example would be fraud but I digress. In any case, this does not justify the lack of insurance at all. It seems as if they want to cling onto this line of credibility even if they really don't have insurance.
This was the response I got when I asked for numerical specifics on HSBC's insurance policies. They beat around the bush and give out random situational excuses. In the end, they were unable to give a clear cut answer on just how much of GLD's assets are insured. Why would they hide the numbers behind GLD's insurance?
Anyone who could get solid numbers behind GLD's insurance would be nothing short of a miracle worker.
Or maybe they don't have an average due to a very obvious reason.
Welcome to the club. It seems the people behind GLD are determined to hide this aspect of GLD. There is no such thing as credibility to these people.
You can talk all you want about the subject - George Soros and John Paulson would invest MILLIONS of they money in something that's not secure?? You might, but not the BIG money.....
You can talk all you want about the subject - George Soros and John Paulson would invest MILLIONS of they money in something that's not secure?? You might, but not the BIG money.....
You realize George Soros and John Paulson have the option of delivery while everyone else doesn't right? I'm willing to bet these individuals can make a call to secure their own physical gold while the rest of us are left holding the bag. If such a condition as hyperinflation were to occur, you might find the authorized participants draining all the metal from GLD.
From a different perspective, even the wealthy are just human. I'd point to Enron, Bear Stearns, GM, and etc. Although many might disagree, I'd say a number of Warren Buffet's investments were foolish for retail investors.
This "billionaires trust it" argument is faulty.
Why won't you people get off this subject? Insurance is unimportant and doesn't concern you folks so just lay off. Neither SSgA nor HSBC bank have any obligations to disclose such information to insignificant people like you.
Sure can make one wonder: If the people behind GLD can't even come clean about the state of its insurance, what else could they be hiding?
If GLD's insurance was that unimportant then why not give full disclosure and be done with it?
Sorry but not everyone is willing to blindly jump into GLD for the sake of 'convenience'. A degree of credibility - such as insurance - goes a long way. I'll get off this subject when I get hard numbers on the mysterious "HSBC insurance policies" that are mentioned in the prospectus.
Right. Shame on us all for wanting clarification on our investments. (sarcasm)
When I called in the past, the representatives at State Street would side step the inquiry and just state that HSBC bank has "some sort" of insurance on the holdings. They won't directly say that GLD's physical assets are insured but they also wouldn't say GLD is uninsured too. This sudden change in response must be a result of increased scrutiny on this particular issue. An increasing number of investors are likely calling in to ask about this sketchy issue.
You can still experience SSgA "beating around the bush" if you specifically ask for hard numbers on GLD's insurance. Very sketchy business in my opinion.
Major update on this: I called in and reached a Mike who said "Every bar of gold is fully covered." Now this directly conflicts with what is stated in the prospectus "The Custodian maintains insurance with regard to its business on such terms and conditions as it considers appropriate which does not cover the full amount of gold held in custody."
But because a representative of SSgA officially stated that every bar of gold is fully covered, I assume we can all legally hold them accountable if that representative is lying. Can someone else confirm SSgA's reversal on this issue?
That is how my insurance inquiries first went. I'm planning on calling in to ask specifically about HSBC's insurance policies this time. I'll see this "question dodging" for myself.

You should NOT break these tablets in half. They are meant to be taken/ swallowed whole. A general rule of thumb is, if there is not a scored line on a tablet, it is not meant to be broken or split. If a pill can be halved or quartered, it is usually scored that way. If you are afraid of taking the whole 2mg, then you should speak to your Dr about a smaller dose pill. Or you can try taking the tablet at a time when you dont have to function fully, like a day off or a weekend that you dont have to leave the house so that you can see how this dose effects you.
How should I take Clonazepam tablets?
Take Clonazepam tablets exactly as your healthcare provider tells you.
Do not stop taking Clonazepam tablets without first talking to your healthcare provider. Stopping Clonazepam tablets suddenly can cause serious problems.
Clonazepam tablets should be taken with water and swallowed whole.
If you take too many Clonazepam tablets call your healthcare provider or local Poison Control Center right away.
What should I avoid while taking Clonazepam tablets?
Clonazepam tablets can slow your thinking and motor skills. Do not drive, operate heavy machinery, or do other dangerous activities until you know how Clonazepam tablets affect you.
Do not drink alcohol or take other drugs that may make you sleepy or dizzy while taking Clonazepam tablets until you talk to your healthcare provider. When taken with alcohol or drugs that cause sleepiness or dizziness, Clonazepam tablets may make your sleepiness or dizziness worse.
I take 2 mg. of clonazapam at night, mine are scored I am now in the process of stopping them. I have taken them for 6 yrs. my Dr. told me to decrease .25 for 2 weeks at a time, until I am totally off of them, so far so good a bit anxious but better then I thought I would feel, definitely don't stop taking them with out the advice of your Dr. it is going to take me 16 weeks to stop them, and I will never use a benzo again. I normally don't read the side effects of a drug because knowing me I would get every side effects on the pamphlet, now I wish I had read them because I started to get some of the side effects, now that's why I am being weaned, I feel better now that I have been decreasing them. I am however getting very vivid dreams, not bad dreams just vivid ones. Mitzi57

Amid further hints of a potential base rate rise, sooner rather than later, property management and housebuilders take a FTSE hit.
15:50, UK, Monday 23 June 2014
Housebuilders and property management firms have seen their share prices drop, amid rising fears of a base rate rise.
The dip comes after the Chancellor once again backed the governor of the Bank of England's plans to raise the base rate of interest.
Housebuilder Barratt Developments was the worst performing FTSE stock in percentage terms, declining by 3.5%, Persimmon fell 2.1% and building supply company Travis Perkins fell 1.79% in late afternoon trades.
Governor Mark Carney said just over a week ago that rates might rise sooner than markets had expected, and many in the financial markets now think a hike could come before the end of the year.
On Monday morning Chancellor George Osborne told the BBC that he welcomed the bank's efforts to communicate its policy stance.
Mr Osborne said: "I think it is a good thing we actually have a bank governor who goes out and does a lot of television and radio and the like, and seeks to communicate clearly to people about the future path of interest rates."
The companies were also hit after weekend comments from Bank of England (BoE) policymaker David Miles.
Considered one of the BoE's most dovish members, he said it was increasingly likely he would vote to raise interest rates before leaving the BoE's monetary policy committee next May.
The housebuilding and property sector has been one of the best performing segments of the UK stock market over the last year.
Record low interest rates and home-buying incentives have pushed the FTSE 350 Construction & Building Materials Index up 23.4% in the last year.
However, the likelihood that interest rates may rise over the coming year has since tempered its performance.
As a result the materials index fell 1.5% on Monday.
JNF Capital trader Rick Jones said: "Interest rates may be rising sooner rather than later, and that's been the cause for a bit of a backlash for the housebuilders."

A 26-year-old Woodland man has been arrested in connection with the Saturday stabbing death of Jennie Brill, 42, of Vancouver.
Neal C. Kelly is in custody for one count of first-degree murder, one count of first-degree attempted murder, two counts of second-degree assault and one count of third-degree assault.
Sterling Shaver, 34, of Woodland was injured in the attack and is in critical condition in the intensive car unit at PeaceHealth Southwest Medical Center.
Deputies were called about 4 a.m. to a report of a disturbance with a weapon at 8707 N.E. 89th Ave., in the Sunnyside neighborhood northeast of Padden Parkway and Interstate 205, Clark County Sheriff's Office Sgt. Duncan Hoss said.
When deputies arrived, they confronted a man outside the house. He ran inside, deputies pursued and a prolonged fight ensued, according to a sheriff's office press release.
Inside the house, deputies found Brill and Shaver, both with stab wounds.
Authorities said Brill was pronounced dead at the scene; both men were taken to a local hospital.
Deputy Eric Cramer suffered an injured hand during the apprehension of Kelly and is expected to make a full recovery.
Neither of the victims lived at the house, Hoss said.
Information on the motivation for the crime is not being released, Hoss said.
Detectives stayed on the scene throughout the day Saturday, working to determine what happened during the predawn altercation. The front window of the two-story house was broken out, as was the back window of an SUV parked in the driveway. Part of the residential street was blocked off to traffic while detectives collected evidence.
The house is owned by John McKee and Alisha Lowe, according to Clark County property records, and it was the subject of a drug raid this year at which McKee and two other people were arrested. Investigators with the Clark-Vancouver Regional Drug Task Force arranged to purchase drugs and served two search warrants on Feb. 28.
During that search, law enforcement seized heroin, methamphetamine, hallucinogenic mushrooms, morphine, ecstasy, fentanyl, suboxone, dilaudid, oxycodone, adderall, methadone and lidocaine.
The case resulted in the arrest of McKee, 27, on suspicion of delivering a controlled substance, possessing a controlled substance with intent to deliver and possessing a controlled substance.
Hoss said Saturday he did not know if drugs were involved in the Saturday-morning altercation.

PORTLAND — Thursday, former Trail Blazer Andre Miller said that he "didn't even care" that he was traded away to the Nuggets on draft day last June.
Well, when he checked into the game for Denver midway through the first quarter, the Rose Garden showed that it did, in fact, care.
Trail Blazers fans greeted Miller with a standing ovation when he stepped onto the court, thanking the 35-year-old for two years of precision, production, and professionalism.
Milller said he didn't have any expectations regarding the ovation. but said with a smile "It was always a good environment (in Portland). The fans supported the team no matter what."
Miller averaged 13.3 points and 6.2 assists per game during his time in a Blazers jersey, and missed just one game — when the NBA suspended him for barreling Clippers forward Blake Griffin to the ground.
Asked what stood out in his mind when he played in Portland, Miller said "being part of a group that worked hard."
However, when a reporter brought up the fact that he had a 52-point game here and threw the buzzer-beating, alley-oop lob to Nic Batum to beat the Spurs, Miller acknowledged that some of his sexier career highlights took place with the Blazers.
Miller has also long recognized that the NBA is, indeed, a business. So when he said that he "didn't care" about being shipped away, it wasn't a jab at the Blazers but rather a testament to the nature of the league.
He did, however, say that that "they're trying to phase the older guys out … but I'm not going to let that happen."
Miller came off the bench Thursday, as he has for Denver in all three games this season. He said he didn't mind — at least for now.
"At this point, in a 66-game season, I'm not going to get caught up in starter minutes," Miller said. "Whether it's here (Denver) continually, or somewhere else, I'll eventually step back into that role. Right now, I'm using it as a positive."
Plus, if he wasn't a reserve, he wouldn't have received that booming ovation.
Which brings us to Rudy Fernandez …
The Spaniard may have spent the past three seasons playing for the Blazers, but when he checked in for the Nuggets Thursday, the Rose Garden rained down passionate boos.
Before the game, Fernandez was hoping that his history with the organization would elicit cheers, but fans opted to punish him for his limited production and open desire to get out of his contract and return to Spain.
In fact, the booing didn't stop with his first appearance, but instead continued when he went to the free-throw line and after he scored.
The Blazers traded Fernandez to the Mavericks on draft day as part of a three-team deal that brought Raymond Felton to the Blazers.
He was then shipped to Denver on Dec. 13. Fernandez didn't reveal any aspirations regarding his performance Thursday, but Miller said "Rudy would love to maybe hit 10 3's out there."
That didn't quite happen, as it appears Fernandez is still searching for his touch.
In his final year in Portland, Fernandez shot just 37 percent from the field and 32.1 percent from 3-point range.
Blazers coach Nate McMillan suggested that his struggles may have had to do with the fact that Fernandez was a star in Spain and was adjusting to life playing off the ball.
When a reporter joked that perhaps it was McMillan's fault, Nate zinged back, "It wasn't the coaching — stay in your country."

(WJLA) - For more than a month, Charles Severance has remained a prisoner in West Virginia, with his public defender vehemently fighting his return to Virginia. However, prosecutors continue to argue that he must be sent back.
Defense Attorney Shayne Welling has called the prosecution's case a sham and an abuse of power. Severance was arrested in Wheeling on March 13 on felony gun charges in Loudoun County.
But in court filings, Welling claims investigators truly want Severance in connection with three high-profile Alexandria murders.
In the typically quiet town of Alexandria, the recent murders have stoked fears of a serial killer. Police continue to say that the killings could be connected but that nothing is definite yet.
Welling says: "Alexandria created a fiction to reacquireSeverance, pending the outcome of their homicide investigation," which he calls illegal, unconscionable, and unforgivable.
Prosecutor Scott Smith responded by stating Severance was a fugitive wanted on gun charges, and for those reasons, should be extradited back to Virginia.
He argues the prosecution "in no way concedes or agrees with any of the arguments posited by respondent."

So, Crystal.
I like Crystal. For starters, she shares a name with my actual wife. She has control over the four elements: earth, air, fire, and water. By all rights she should be supremely powerful. The combination of those powers should make her the sum of characters like Human Torch, Hydro-Man, Terra, and even some components of Storm's powers as well. Next to Black Bolt, who can destroy at the speed of his own speech, she's easily the most powerful Inhuman.
So what happened? When introduced, she fooled around with Johnny Storm. With the Avengers, she married Quicksilver. At some point she had a retroactive affair with Sentry. Now she's been handed off to Ronan. Its like she's become the bed-hopper that some writers wish Sue Storm was.
So is Crystal doomed to arm-candy status? Will the day ever arrive when she comes into her own and has non-relationship based motivations?
So, Crystal.

It scrapes the sky, but it's no towering office building.
Nonetheless, the new grain silo rising at the Port of Vancouver is likely the tallest structure in Clark County.
The silo, made of concrete and reinforced steel, climbs more than 300 feet — the equivalent of roughly 20 stories. "I don't think any of the (Vancouver) downtown structures comes even close," said Curtis Shuck, the port's director of economic development and facilities.
The looming silo was built using the "slipform" method of construction, in which concrete is poured into a continuously -moving form. "They actually jack it up and the whole thing rises at about one foot per hour," Shuck said. "It's the tallest slipform structure in North America."
It's also part of a larger
$72 million project launched by United Grain Corp. to boost the company's export capacity to handle corn and soybeans. Driving United Grain's pursuit of the project is China's rising middle class, Shuck said. With more Chinese people eating meat, demand is high for corn and soybeans, which serve as feed grains for livestock.
The port's elected three-member board of commissioners unanimously approved the project in January. Since then, crews have torn down two buildings at the port's Terminal 2 — with one more to go — and have been busy erecting the slipform silo and building a storage facility comprised of 24 grain silos.
The silo, which will be used to remove debris from the loads of corn and soybean, is all but complete. Shuck said crews are now installing the machinery that will enable it to load the corn and soybeans — hauled into the port by train from other parts of the U.S. — onto ships bound for Asia.
A nearby 24-silo storage facility, which crews are now assembling, will provide an additional 60,000 metric tons of storage space for corn and soybeans, or roughly 2 million bushels.
United Grain, a subsidiary of Japanese conglomerate Mitsui Group, already ships 3 million tons of wheat from Terminal 2, about 16 percent of the country's crop.
Its current project, to be completed in the fall of 2012, created 240 temporary construction jobs. When it's finished, the new grain handling facility will employ a few permanent, full-time workers.
The company's expansion into the corn-and-soybean export business provides several other benefits, Shuck said, including allowing the port to move ahead with its $150 million West Vancouver Freight Access project.
The project aims to increase the port's rail track from 16.9 miles to more than 44 miles, adding capacity to handle freight and increasing the speed at which cargo moves along the BNSF Railway and Union Pacific main lines. Those main lines link the Pacific Northwest to major rail hubs in Chicago and Houston.
"Faster freight and more of it means a lower cost, which means global competitiveness," Shuck said.
Shuck said port tenant CalPortland benefits from the silo project because United Grain is purchasing all of its ready-mix concrete from CalPortland, a provider of building materials.
Perhaps the most obvious impact of the United Grain project is the fact that you can't miss it as you trundle along West Mill Plain Boulevard through the port district.
As Shuck put it, "We're actually modifying the Vancouver skyline."

New London - Coast Guard Academy athletic director Tim Fitzpatrick was at last summer's National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics convention in Dallas, when he found himself on a panel with former Tennessee athletic director Joan Cronan.
A rock star of sorts.
"I had met Joan a number of times. I was wowed with having the opportunity to work with her for a two-day period," Fitzpatrick said. "She's an icon in our business. She's always been a hero of mine."
Of course, Fitzpatrick recruited Cronan for Coast Guard's second annual Women's Leadhership Symposium held Tuesday on campus. And Cronan, now Tennessee's women's athletic director emeritus/consultant and advisor to the chancellor, accepted.
Cronan, 68, the longtime face of women's athletics at Tennessee, was named interim athletic director for both the men's and women's programs in 2011, bridging the gap between outgoing AD Mike Hamilton and current director Dave Hart. During that time she hired baseball coach Dave Serrano and helped oversee the merge of the university's then-separate men's and women's athletics programs.
On Tuesday, Cronan, a Louisiana State graduate who bills herself as " Cajun, with orange blood," found herself in rival territory: Connecticut.
Cronan led off the conference, imparting some of her core values and the "passion and pride" which make Tennessee the athletic powerhouse that it is. She called former women's basketball coach Pat Summitt "one of the best leaders athletics has ever had," and sprinkled stories from Summitt's Hall of Fame coaching tenure in with tales of her own successes and mistakes.
Cronan was joined by Horizon League associate commissioner Alfreeda Goff, in her second year on the panel; Lori Ebihara, senior associate athletic director at Maryland; China Jude, vice president of athletics at Queens College; Laurie Priest, athletic director at Mount Holyoke; and Charlie Robert, athletic director at Nichols College.
Attending were women from the Coast Guard and Connecticut College athletic communities, as well as colleges from around New England.
"It's a lot of initiative the Coast Guard has taken," Cronan said. "I'm very impressed with Tim and his ability. I couldn't help but be excited."
Cronan spoke of the three C's that are necessary for success: competition, confidence and communication. She spoke of watching former Lady Vols women's basketball player Dena Head, who, having missed crucial free throws in the past, sank two with seven seconds in regulation to help win the 1991 national championship.
She said she's added a fourth C since seeing Summitt battle early-onset dementia: courage.
"She is fighting it straight up," said Cronan, who at first told Summitt that she didn't have to fight the battle publicly if she chose to keep it private. "She looked me straight in the eye and said, 'We do.'"
Cronan said she has the initials "BELLS" written into her iPhone, something she tries to abide by every day. Read the bible, exercise, learn, write a handwritten letter or note to someone and try to do a special project, such as vacuum, she added with a laugh.
Overall, Cronan said she is grateful Tennessee had a women's athletic department all those years, so that the women's program had a chance to build.
"I loved every bit of it. I love every day I go to work," Cronan said. "� Tennessee said 'yes' to women's sports before it was cool and that has continued. Pride and passion. That's what you see when you walk into Thompson-Boling Arena."
"It's awesome," said first-year Coast Guard women's basketball coach Alex Ivansheck of the second-year conference. "I haven't been to anything like it. Hopefully it will continue. I like it that (Fitzpatrick) thinks outside the box."

text: Hi! I have previously written a blog a while ago on these tokens. The information is based on Q.DAVID BOWERS book A GUIDE BOOK of CIVIL WAR TOKENS. Now a few of you asked me the value on these gems. Well I'll try to keep to keep it simple. Each token is assigned a rarity factor or like I like to call it mintage. These can be found on page four. I will list some to give you an idea. A rarity one means they made greater than 5000. A mintage of four would mean they made 201 to 500. A mintage of six means they made 21 to 75. And a mintage of ten means they made one.

The guys over at Engadget just got their hands on a video showing off the Sony PlayStation Phone (aka the Zeus, Z1) running benchmark program Neocore. As you can see above, it didn't fare so well, but keep in mind that this is prototype hardware and software. Sony seems to want gaming to be a main focus of the phone, so we fully expect the GPU to blow away benchmarks once the phone is finally released. Suffice to say, yes, it will run Angry Birds. Click past the break to see the video in action. [Engadget]
PlayStation Phone runs Neocore -- poorly -- on video

PlayStation Phone runs Neocore -- poorly -- on video
Well in defense your Droid Pro has only a 320 x 480 display so it has to render less than half the pixels of a 480 x 800 display on the Sony phone.
But compared to my Galaxy S which runs at the same resolution I get about 57 fps. So when compared more evenly it's still slow. They better be using a beefier GPU in the final version or this device will be an epic fail.
Anyway its to low for a GAMING PHONE, Original DROID scores better than this and is a year ago phone!!
Heh, that's the same framerate I'd get on my old G1, granted that was HVGA like the Droid Pro, but still.
It seems to me this prototype could simply be more of a concept formfactor than a test of the PSPhone's true hardware. Either that or it's bugged or it simply uses an entirely different chip for the Playstation games that Neocore has no access to. Who knows...
Umm people the original psp's core clock speed was a whopping 333Mhz with the right environment and correct hardware acceleration this thing will do just fine.

Union golfer Yun Belex Cheng saw her total on the scoreboard at the Class 3A state golf tournament and knew something was amiss.
She thought she had signed for a 91, so she could not understand why there was an 89 next to her name after the second round of the tournament last week.
So she did the honorable thing — she spoke up about the erroneous score.
Eventually, it was determined that Cheng signed an incorrect scorecard and was disqualified.
The Washington Interscholastic Activities Association lists the scores of every golfer in the field for its golf championships. Next to Cheng's name, it reads 85-DQ. (She fired an 85 in the first round to make the cut, then was disqualified after the second round.)
The official results, however, can seem so cruel. There is no explanation. Just DQ.
Here is a bit of what happened, and if you take anything away from this column, please let it be this: Yun Belex Cheng, a freshman, stepped forward on her own.
"It wouldn't be fair to the other players," Cheng said. "It was just the right thing to do."
Cheng was already frustrated with her play that day. She was looking for the low 80s, not the low 90s. Then, the scorecard that was used by her opponent was drenched by the end of the round. So together, Cheng and her opponent transferred the scores from that first scorecard to a second, dry scorecard. Cheng said that second card was accurate, with her 91.
But then a tournament official handed out a third card to have the scores transferred again. Somewhere in that process, a '6' was jotted down instead of an '8' on a particular hole. When an official asked if Cheng had verified the scoring, Cheng said yes — but she was thinking about the transfer from that first card to the second card. The official handed her the card — that third card — to sign, and she did.
Now, no one at Union is arguing that Cheng's score should be reinstated. Coach Gary Mills, at first, thought that Cheng had signed the correct score and did ask officials to review the decision. The decision was upheld.
But Mills was successful in getting the WIAA to acknowledge there were problems with the way the scoring was handled.
There was confusion as to which was the official card. Mills said he has never witnessed scores being transferred from one card to another — twice. There was an inexperienced worker at the scorer's table, and Cheng was not asked to transfer the scores that final time. (She was not required to be there, but it would have been preferred.)
Cheng, to her credit, also has learned a valuable lesson. She said she will always check the scorecard she is signing one more time.
Paul Lucien, the head rules official for WIAA golf tournaments, drafted a letter to Cheng that should be in the mail this week.
"Your willingness to speak up when you saw the incorrect score posted demonstrates you have a high level of integrity," an excerpt of the letter reads. "This great game is built on the hope that players like you will do exactly what you did in being honest about your score. I want you to know that while the circumstances led us to make the ruling we did, based on the very strict requirements of the rules of golf, you did nothing that any of us would call wrong. No one, not one of us, believes for a moment you did anything but carry yourself with the very best of intentions."
Cheng acknowledged to me that she did not know she was going to get disqualified when she told an official about the wrong score. She just hoped it could be fixed.
But now that she knows what could happen, would she do it again?
Absolutely, she said without hesitation.
"It wouldn't be fair to the other players. It was just the right thing to do."

Speaking of mistakes, I had a doozy in Wednesday's column. A double-doozy. I had a typo on a year — I meant 1989 not 1999 — and had two local baseball teams playing for a championship instead of two teams winning a championship on the same day (in different classifications). So, in baseball language, I made two errors on the same play. I booted the ground ball (the typo), then made things worse with a throwing error (the information after the year). The online version of my column was corrected early Wednesday morning.

I was recently contacted by Peter Aubrey-Smith. He is my third cousin, once removed on the Lewis branch of my family tree. He had seen my research on ancestry.com and decided to contact me. We have since been sharing information back and forth, but the grand prize came the other day when he shared with me a portrait picture of a woman that his family firmly believes is Jane Lewis.
The Hayes Family History Site
This the the marraige certificate for Harry McNeill & Jane Josephine Hayes. They were married at St Patricks Roman Catholic Church in Manchester, New Hampshire on September 27th, 1920.
The Hayes Family Of Bruree, Ireland Found!
Late Thursday night I was doing some casual genealogy surfing at the pilot.familysearch.org web site when I came across a record that caught my eye. It was an Irish Birth and Baptism Record for a Patrick Hanly in Bruree, Limerick, Ireland. The spelling of the last name was different than what I had been accustomed to, but I investigated anyway. It turns out that Patricks parents were listed as Daniel Hanly and Ellen Hayes. WOW! That is an exact match. I don't know why I hadn't seen that before. Maybe is was part of a new set of records recently added to the web site. Whatever the case, I was excited. I immediately searched the site for Patrick's brother, William and sister, Ellen (my great grandmother) but did not have any success. Unfortunately, the Family Search record offered me little information that I did not already know… but it was proof… so I took it. Thinking I might get lucky, I looked for any Hayes records in Bruree. I found quite a few, but none that were related.
Naturalization Papers for Thomas Kelty
I recently acquired naturalization papers for a Thomas Kelty, who I believe to be my great great grandfather. They were executed in Exeter, New Hampshire on 28 February 1859 with an inital application date of 3 March 1859. While these papers don't positively identify this Thomas Kelty as my great great grandfather, I have concluded through research there were no other Thomas Kelty's in New Hampshire area between 1850 and 1880. The Kelty name is extremely unusual in any early records as it is.
Obituary For Bert Palmer Record, 84
Bert P Record is the husband of Leta Ethel Smith, sister of Frank Edward Smith, Bert was born March 8, 1878 near Dewitt Iowa. He married Leta Smith on July 3, 1905. Bert died in his home in Rock Island after a 10 year battle with an illness.
Obituary For Leta Smith Record, 79, of Rock Island, Illinois
Leta Ethel Smith Record is the sister of Colleen's great grandfather, Frank Edward Smith. After much research, some genealogists from the Rock Island area of Illinois found her obituary for me. Leta was born May 30, 1887 on a farm in Homboldt, Iowa. She married Bert Record on July 3, 1905 in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. Leta died in Rock Island on August 28, 1966.
The Elusive Smith Cousin May Finally be Found!
I've been at a stand-still with the Leta Smith branch of the family tree since December 2009. I've been looking for Shawn Butler since July 2009.
Now, thanks to the folks at the Rock Island County illinois Genealogical Society, I have made a major breakthrough tracking down Shawn Butler, the great grandson of Leta Smith. Based on one of Shawns earlier message forums posts, I have been working under the assumption that Shawn was the grandson of Leta Butler. That would make him the son of Merle Record. So all my research was focused on looking for Merle or Muyrll Butler. So armed with that information, I took a shot and emailed the RICIGS for help. Within a couple of days, one of their researchers had emailed me back with the following research.
Muyrll Turner was born Muyrll Record on August 25, 1909 in Rock Island, Illinois. She died at the age of 21 following two operations for an intestinal ailment. She was survived by her husband, Roy Turner, her son; Clarence and her daughter; Leta Ellen.
Obituary: Leta E Butler, 61, New Boston, Illinois
A special thanks to the folks at the Rock Island County illinois Genealogical Society for finding the obituary for Leta Ellen Butler for me. Born Leta Ellen Turner on 9 Aug 1929 in Moline, she married William Butler on November 19, 1965 in Rock Island.
Leta Smith's Family Tree Branch Has Been Found!
Leta Ethel Smith, sister of Frank Edward Smith (my wife's great grandfather) was born in Iowa on May 30, 1887. The only thing we knew about her, until today, was that she had twins named Merle and Berle. In fact we have pictures of Leta, Merle and Berle in our possession. There is some recollection that she and her husband "Bert "may have ran a gas station in Mount Kisco, New York for a couple of years. Grandma Patty Smith Barnes recalls her sister going to live with Leta and Bert in Westchester for a summer around 1930 after her father deserted the family. Besides this information, I had nothing to go on as far as leeds in tracking down this branch of the Smith family tree.

Backtracking on earlier claims that it wouldn't release a Windows XP service pack until the middle of 2004, Microsoft apparently is readying an interim collection of security fixes, according to e-mails received by beta testers Wednesday. "In the e-mail, Microsoft put out a call for testers to try out two versions of an interim security pack that will integrate nearly two dozen previously-released patches."

text: Oregon newspaper is looking for a marijuana critic by Ben Geier @FortuneMagazine August 18, 2015, 11:06 AM EDT E-mail Tweet Facebook Linkedin Share icons In a move that is perhaps signifying the continuing mainstreaming of pot culture, The Oregonian, a major daily newspaper based in Portland, is seeking a marijuana enthusiast to be its cannabis critic, reports AdWeek. The job, which would be filled by a freelance writer, would review strains of cannabis, other pot products like edibles, and write about trends in Oregon's pot market. Recreational pot became legal in Oregon this year. In other states where the once-banned drug has become legal, newspapers have sought to capitalize by hiring experts. In Colorado, for example, The Denver Post has a separate site called "The Cannabist" for marijuana coverage. Marijuana has the potential to take its place among other vice products like tobacco and alcohol as more and more states legalize possession of recreational amounts.

APLS focuses on improving health and sanitation facilities in the underserved health clinics in four very rural villages of Xepiun, Vipecbalam, Quechip and Tujolom in Ixil region of western Guatemala highlands. Previously, these clinics lacked basic sanitation infrastructure, forcing residents to rely on their rudimentary home resources. In developed nations, it is hard to imagine not being able to wash your hands before entering into a doctor's office. APLS built, for each clinic, the much needed hand-washing stations, septic systems, bathrooms and sidewalks --immensely helpful in the wet season, and often overlooked.
The impact of APLS projects has been huge. UNICEF estimates that diarrhea diseases are responsible for claiming the lives of 1.1 million children globally every year. According to Inter-American Development Bank, the water and sanitation sector in Guatemala is characterized by low coverage, poor quality services, and deteriorating physical assets related to a need for increased investments in basic infrastructures. Population growth, agricultural expansion, unevenly distributed services, and polluted sources have contributed to the inability of citizens to access adequate amounts of clean water and basic sanitation.
Agua Para La Salud is working to remedy these limitations, working directly with the rural communities in dire need to save lives and build healthier and brighter futures for thousands of families and children in the hardest to reach areas of Guatemala. Approximately 2,562 people now have access to the hand-washing stations and clean water thanks to APLS. APLS' health clinics are self-sustaining and community-led; taking the strain off the national hospitals in the nearby municipality of Nebaj.
Palmyra is quick to SMS update on its project profile page of construction stages, factors that may delay prospective work, impact evaluations, and more. Most recently Palmyra has submitted notes for the Sanitation Facility of Endiyur Village of Marakkanam Block of Villupuram District, Tamil Nadu, India. These maintenance indicators couldn't be more important.
Palmyra's project has done much more than build 25 new toilet facilities for Endiyur. Palmyra has held training programs to foster learning of key community personnel, namely women groups to become self-help groups for Endiyur for years to come. These self-help groups proved to Palmyra that intimate knowledge of the local environment can significantly contribute to sustainable water project designs. For example, local beneficiaries were able to identify Palmyra's original design for Endiyur as flawed. The first design did not include both showers and toilets. It was determined, however, that combining the two could help rid the community of water stagnation near homes which is a breeding place for mosquitos which often cause malaria and dengue fever in the area.
Women quickly became integral to the planning, design, construction, operation, allocation and management of funds for Endiyur's sanitation projects. The empowerment attained through these new leadership and managerial skills is directly responsible for women contributing more to the economy; further lifting the village out of poverty. This sanitation project is a true example of how safe drinking water and sanitation is at the center of health, happiness and opportunity.
Blue Planet Network is proud to feature Palmyra and its work across rural communities in southern India.

The idea for this book was triggered by the United Nations University's October 1999 UN Day Symposium on Peacekeeping, in which some of the book contributors participated. The positive response to the symposium encouraged us to invite our speakers, along with other selected contributors, to join in an examination of the lessons that should be learned from past peacekeeping practices for future peacekeeping operations. The contribution of our book to the ongoing debate on the nature, legality, and practicality of peacekeeping lies in the unique composition of the chapter contributors – half of them are academic "observers" of peacekeeping, while the other half are practitioners who have been intimately involved, in the field and at UN Headquarters, in the planning and execution of some of the most crucial peacekeeping operations of the past 10 years. We hope that the combined insights of these contributions will prove useful to scholars, practitioners, and students of UN peacekeeping.
We are indebted to Yoshie Sawada, our administrative assistant, and Chifumi Mizutani, the programme's secretary, for their tireless support in the many administrative aspects of this project.
The publication of this book benefited greatly from the support we received from UNU Press and its Head, Janet Boileau. We greatly appreciate the careful copyediting work by Cherry Ekins, and the very helpful comments provided by the anonymous peer reviewers of the draft manuscript. Finally, we are indebted to our families who have again endured the many hours we spent on this, our second, co-edited book project.
