- Hidden And Dangerous has at least two examples of this:
- An early mission features an attack on an oil refinery in order to free some prisoners believed to be held there. They are not present, but a worker reveals under threat that they were taken to a certain location. At this point the player has learned all there is to know, and killing the informant shouldn't make any discernible difference (it can be justified as, say, covering one's traces). Yet if one does so, the mission will inexplicably fail.
- Well, it would probably give the Germans a propaganda victory (in the cold-blooded murder of a noncombatant) and make relations with the Italian resistance difficult.
- In another mission, the player had to destroy a water lock with the cannon of a parked tank. When this had been accomplished this one would think that one might as well blow up said tank, to deny its use to the enemy. Yet if this is done, the mission will fail, even if the lock is already destroyed.
- An early mission features an attack on an oil refinery in order to free some prisoners believed to be held there. They are not present, but a worker reveals under threat that they were taken to a certain location. At this point the player has learned all there is to know, and killing the informant shouldn't make any discernible difference (it can be justified as, say, covering one's traces). Yet if one does so, the mission will inexplicably fail.
- In one of the missions found in the Collector's Edition of TIE Fighter, the objectives include shooting down a pirate cruiser and all the fighters it carries. The cruiser itself is prevented from escaping by means of an Imperial interdictor cruiser. Occasionally, one will find one of the fighters will enter the pirate cruiser's hangar bay and thus be removed from the game map. The game interprets this as the fighter getting away, and the mission will immediately fail, even though the fighter would logically be destroyed whenever the pirate cruiser is.
- In one mission, your objective involves the take over or destruction of a star cruiser, protecting various craft, and additionally eliminating an enemy squadron of fighters for some reason. It's very possible for AI Assault Gunboats to disable an enemy fighter's weapons and shields (with Ion Cannons) but not finish the job and disable the engines. The end result is that by the time you realize there is a single star-fighter left, which is completely unable to do anything or be of any threat, the ship is hundreds of kilometers away, resulting in you having to make a ridiculously long chase for over a half hour just to catch up with it and destroy it. This is beyond annoying.
- In X-Wing Alliance, there is a mission to recapture the space station that belonged to the Azzameens from the mercenaries occupying it. When its defences fail, a transport will launch and quickly jump into hyperspace. Afterwards, NPCs will state that it looked like your uncle's ship. The targeting system marks it as hostile, its survival is irrelevant to the main objective and the last family mission involves the uncle betraying your family. Yet if he is shot down, the mission will fail, with comments that indicate the station was somehow lost.
- Another mission requires the player to destroy a ship belonging to his family, and marked as such by the color-coded IFF system. Despite the fact that the mission cannot succeed unless this ship is destroyed, the player's helpful robot buddy will repeatedly insist that the player stop shooting.
- The second Syphon Filter game features a level where the protagonist must escape from a heavily guarded hospital. The primary objective is to make it to an escape chopper whilst the secondary objective is to procure a silenced weapon to improve your odds of doing this. It is entirely possible to sneak around the guards to reach the chopper without killing anyone, at which point the game shows the protagonist being flown off to safety before displaying a 'Mission Failed' message due to the player not completing the secondary objective.
First Person Shooter
- In Rogue Spear there is a mission in which you must reach a computer and download some files from it. If one triggers the alarm too early a guard will press a button that sets off a charge that destroys the computer, resulting in mission failure. Said button can also be pressed by the player. If one finishes downloading the files and decides to use this button to destroy the now unimportant computer (to, again, deny the enemy further use of it), the mission will fail, even though the primary objective was accomplished and protecting the computer is no longer relevant.
- GoldenEye never really let this happen, which was strange. Consider: in the Statue Park level, you can feel free to gun down Valentin after he's arranged your meeting with Janus, but he'll still be there, two levels later, if you're playing in the right difficulty level.
- That's not the only example, either. In fact, it is possible with proper timing to gun down Big Bad Alec Trevelyan virtually every time he appears, only for him to be there to taunt you next level.
- The Control level is an exception to the above rule. Your main objective is to defend Natalya as she hacks the Goldeneye satellite in what is probably the most infamously difficult scene in the game. After a long and difficult fight, you still can't relax even after you've receive the message stating the satellite has been reprogrammed: In the few seconds between finishing her work and escaping to safety, Natalya can still be targeted by enemy guards, and her death will result in mission failure, despite the fact that—though it's pretty cold logic—she's outlived her usefulness. Then again, what's James Bond without his woman?
- He's James Bond looking for his next woman.
- That, and keep in mind that Janus is Dangerously Genre Savvy. You didn't permanently kill the Goldeneye off. You just put it into a gradual decaying orbit that will eventually destroy it. True to form, Janus has alternative ways to correct the sabotage you did to the Goldeneye, and while you don't need Natalya for those, you don't know that. And she also doubtless helps deal with security in the control to prevent anybody *else* like Boris from saving the satellite.
- This is partially subverted in the same level: Shooting Boris to death after he completes his objective won't end the mission. However, Natalya will complain about watching you kill him over the security camera, and will then go back to the elevator, rather than disable the satellite, making the mission Unwinnable.
- In the spiritual sequel, Perfect Dark, there was a major inversion: one level required you to carry a crate of bullet-sensitive explosives for a while to blow a hole in a wall. If they blew up while still relevant, you got the "Mission Failed" message, but it turns out they were never really relevant to begin with; there were other ways to blow the hole in the wall, and doing so would give you a "Mission Incomplete" message as the game realized you still had a chance.
- Half-Life 2 has the buggy, which is requires to clear a certain jump (unless you glitch past that point.) If you continue with the buggy and it gets hit by the train, you get a Non Standard Game Over for failing to protect vital assets. However, you can abandon the buggy there, and proceed to the lighthouse on foot (and not worry about barriers that only stop the vehicle).
Third Person Shooter
- Max Payne has an unusual version that would take some effort (or some very bad luck) to activate. Max grabs a junkie and forces him to tell his criminal friends to open the freaking Locked Wooden Door. If he dies before that, the mission is failed. The moment the door opens, the junkie grabs a convenient gun and starts shooting at Max, leading to his untimely demise. But if he gets shot (by Max or his friends) after the door is opened but before he grabs the gun... you've guessed it.
- It's actually even smaller a margin than that: the goon says the password to open the door, and the door unlocks. You can't shoot the guy then, as it's game over. As soon as the door opens, he screams "It's a trap!" and runs into the room: gun him down. Better yet, stand right behind him and the goons in the room will gun him down for you. He never actually gets to a gun.
- Divinity II: The Dragon Knight Saga lets you choose your crew of four men among height people. All eight of them can potentially give you two quests each, consisting in bringing them back an item. You will still find the items of the crew members you didn't choose (and who are actually dead by now), and you cannot discard them or put them in your treasure chest, leaving you with a couple of items you have to hoard around for the rest of the game.
- The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall has an exploit during its "Cast the Sleep Spell" quest for the Mages Guild. You only have to prep the spell in the presence of the client NPC and can cancel it immediately afterwards, conserving your magicka and still accomplish the quest objective. Furthermore, after accomplishing the quest objective, you can kill the former client NPC without penalty.
- Oblivion has a variation in that a bug sometimes causes quest-related items to retain that status after the quest is completed. This is both good and bad: On the one hand, quest items are weightless. On the other hand, you can't get rid of them.
- This continues in Skyrim. Some quest items never have the quest-tag removed, leaving them to permanently clutter your inventory. Thankfully, they're still weightless.
- Morrowind has a variant with its Essential characters — characters marked with the Essential tag are supposed to be essential to the main plot, and the game warns you if you kill one that (paraphrased) 'prophecy is broken, the world is doomed'. What Morrowind doesn't have is any coding to remove the Essential tag from characters after their importance is passed (or even after the main quest is finished).
- Oblivion has a variation in that a bug sometimes causes quest-related items to retain that status after the quest is completed. This is both good and bad: On the one hand, quest items are weightless. On the other hand, you can't get rid of them.
- A few items in Illusion of Gaia can't be thrown away even after they become useless. This is irritating due to your limited inventory space, especially if you've been hoarding the Herbs you get throughout the game.
- The same for every key item in MOTHER, alleviated by the fact you can leave stuff at home, freeing up the 8 slots per party member. But you'd need to go all the way there, until you get teleport.
- Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas have this problem. In New Vegas, for example, you can receive a machete at one point that cannot be sold, dropped, or disposed of, even in situations where all of your other weapons would be confiscated. Thankfully, items flagged as such don't have weight even though the game still shows it.
- Bad luck with the random encounters code in Act I of The Witcher can cause the subject of an Escort Mission, a barmaid named Vesna Hood, to be killed by barghests between her front yard and her door, after Geralt has finished escorting her, and also after she's thanked him in a cutscene for walking her home and possibly arranged a discreet rendezvous later on. If this happens, she never appears for said rendezvous, and you can't collect her sex card.

good to see you get your century in Scott
But atleast it was nice and dry for me. Good job for sticking it out in the rain, I remember last year was pretty miserable with everything soaked.
9/5 100 miles, 5:46 minutes total time. This was my first century in over 15 years and my first ever solo. The weather was beautiful on Friday, overcast and the computer said it never got above 68F. I tried GU gels for the first time, they worked great at keeping my energy up along with water and Gatorade. I stopped twice for water refills at a McDonalds and a small park, two more times in cornfields due to apparent overhydration (what to do when the leaves and corn are gone?). Anyway, it was big fun! The route if you're interested:

9/9 - 21 miles in Busse Woods after work - first time wearing 2 layers after hot summer.
Today was my 2nd ride in Milwaukee. I rode with another guy from school and we went up lake drive and looped around. I really have no idea where. But it was a good 34 miles. It was also my 2nd ride on the powertap so watching that was fun. I hit a peak wattage of 1200 which I was happy with. But not riding a whole lot with this whole college thing going on, and just getting settled in.
9/9 - 29.4 miles
Rode up north to 135th St. in Plainfield. Once by middle part, noticed traffic backed up fairly good on 126 about 1/2 mile east of 59. Was thinking 55 was messed up again but about a half hour later when I was headed towards Renwick, I-55 was moving good. So it had to be a train backing traffic up.
I've got the green jersey on bikewire today. Ah, it feels good to bask in the envious looks of all the other bikewire contestants.
Too bad my average is going to drop down alot by tonight after I'm done with my commute home tonight with my repaired commuter and his new Nitto stem.

9-10 20 miles out and back, nice headwind on the way out, great tailwind on the way home. What a beautiful day!
9/10 - 17.8 miles
Rode on the newer stretch of the Old Plank Road Trail from where the new trailhead is being built (on Washington St. 1/2 mile west of Briggs in Joliet) to Park Rd. (original west trailhead) to plot it on my GPS. The new trailhead lot is paved but trail not totally done yet. There was a big tree branch down across the path between the new trailhead and the Collision Revision lot (workers probably don't want folks on it yet). Clear sailing from Collision Revision lot eastward.
9/10 = yes for 44 miles. headed out at 9am and while it was brisk it was calm and sunny. a lovely before work ride. later.
Since 9/6 I've only done a few 10-20 mile rides here and there. I got a minor knee injury that I'm trying to keep healthy, while still getting in some riding.
Also, I finished building my new track bike, and I've been busy dialing in the fit of everything with the aerobars and such. I put drops on it tonight, and the saddle-bar drop is about 2.5 feet!
9/10-16 miles on the cross bike. Found out the Spin series is cancelled. So I atleast got to test out the bike on a secret course.

My dissertation is a historical geography of watery places in southern Louisiana. Created over several thousand years by the muddy sediments of the Mississippi River, the region is defined by flood and muck. The river, its bayous, and the backswamps are the dominant features of a largely flat, saturated "wetlandscape."
The project uses southern Louisiana's relentlessly watery character to examine the unintended, often disastrous social and ecological consequences of human encounters with soggy places. By examining almost 300 years of environmental change in southern Louisiana's watery terrain, the dissertation reveals the ironies of human attempts to rationalize and render profitable a region that is neither fully land nor fully water. My research looks at questions of culture, value, and moral choice as humans have worked to inhabit these permeable places where land and water meet. What are the environmental and social values at work in such wetlandscapes? How have they changed over time? What role do those changing values play in shaping watery disasters and our responses to them? These questions don't simply clarify the cultural and social worlds of watery places, but also inevitably underlie challenges of policy and environmental justice.
To answer these big questions, I begin with Louisiana's rice plantations and end with post-Katrina urban planning and design. Along the way, I examine bald cypress timber harvesting, oil and gas extraction, and petrochemical production, three industries that both deeply depended on, and deeply transformed, the region's watery places.
You can learn more about my research and research process by following my blog.
A National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship has helped support this research, as have many smaller grants and awards. Findings from four chapters have been presented at the annual meetings of both the Association of American Geographers and the American Society for Environmental History.

I was about 22-23 weeks as well before I felt them all the time.
Me 33 DH 34
Will and Ellie born April 2, 2014
I never felt mine move "all the time." Baby A was active in the morning, and I could rarely feel Baby B at all. I think it all depends on where they are situated.
Twins arrived 7/25/13
I'm 16w5d and have only felt little flutters at a time, and not for very long, very often, or consistently. My SIL is due a month before me (her 4th pregnancy, and that probably has a lot to do with it) and has been complaining about the kicking for about 6 weeks. I can't wait to feel actual kicks!!
The eyes can mislead, a smile can lie, but shoes always tell the truth.
I'm almost 21 weeks and still hardly ever feel them. I keep waiting for a kick or two, as well. I just figure that they aren't very active and there will be plenty of time for that later.
Me: 35-endo. DH: 40-vasectomy.

Education: GTCW Survey Welcomed - but Positions Can Change; Neither the Unions nor the GTCW Described the Recent Results of a Teacher Recruitment and Retention Survey as a Crisis but the Media Have Built It into One by Being Very Selective in the Parts They Chose to Highlight
Byline: JANE DAVIDSON Minister for Education and Lifelong Learning
I VERY much welcome the GTCW's survey into teacher recruitment and retention which has produced a more in-depth analysis of the sector in Wales.
But with any survey it is only current at the time it was conducted and the position can change. It is the pattern of change which also needs to be monitored.
The survey is a good test of what is happening across the board and confirms what we have been saying for some time that there are no recruitment problems in the primary sector, where there is a healthy demand for all classroom vacancies, nor for the majority of subjects in the secondary sector.
In fact, the latest figures (January 2002) showed an increase of 360 full-time qualified teachers employed in maintained schools in Wales over the previous year. The proportion of vacant posts is falling - and we have a vacancy rate (0.4pc) that is lower than any part of England - where the average is 1.4pc.
Pupil teacher ratios are also reducing and again our position is considerably better than in England - particularly in primary schools.
It is not true that many of those who do enter the profession do not stay long - the figures state quite clearly that teachers either leave within their first five years or after more than 30 years, with the overriding reason being early retirement.
It is not unexpected that, in a physically and mentally demanding job like teaching, a number choose to do so. In fact the report says this survey provides no clear evidence to indicate that teacher retention is a widespread problem in Wales.
I am introducing new arrangements for supporting newly qualified teachers in their first years in teaching. This will ensure that the best practice in supporting and developing new teachers - that many schools currently follow - becomes common across Wales. I expect this will have a significant impact on the losses from the profession in the first five years - which represents a waste of our investment in training and can lead to a sense of failure in those who leave so soon.
The survey also shows that 92% of teachers are teaching with a degree in a subject or a closely related subject which dispels the claim that ``many'' teachers are not qualified to teach their subject.
The survey does not show that in the secondary sector one in ten posts remain unfilled - it took a snapshot of a particular time in terms of responses to recruitment advertisements.
The report goes on to say that for the posts advertised headteachers were generally able to fill the post in various ways through supply teachers or cover or in other ways and they there-fore cannot be regarded as ``vacancies.''
The report also states that headteachers acknowledge that there continues to be a significant number of teachers of high quality who enter and work within the profession in Wales.
It is time to say that secondary schools are finding recruitment more difficult than before and they have to work harder to fill posts. …

Laid off after 17 years in one company, Nicholas Haaf needed to relearn the job-search ropes. He landed a new job by refining his area of focus and perfecting his message.
By Patty Orsini
By early 2008, Nicholas Haaf knew what was happening at his job: significant downsizing, merging of departments and numerous layoffs of executives. Nevertheless, he was still feeling pretty good about his chances of staying put in a company where he had worked for more than 17 years.
After all, during his tenure with the data and analytics provider, working in the Dallas-Fort Worth Area with financial-services companies, he had managed some of the most successful offices in the company and established a reputation as a solid leader. But at the end of February 2008, his job was eliminated as the company merged divisions.
"It's still shocking," the MktgLadder member said. "I had had several promotions, I was on a good career track; my sales team had grown the Texas division of this company into one of the top three revenue producing division in the country. And one day, it was gone."
But his shock did not translate to bitterness. In fact, he still felt a great loyalty to the company where he had worked for so long. So when his executive VP came to him asking him to stay on as a contract employee for a month to help with the transition, he didn't hesitate. "I felt such a big part of the company's growth and success that I felt a responsibility, even after learning that my position was going away, to help in any way I could."
Use the time to your advantage
Looking back, Haaf said that the month he went to work knowing he was basically out a job was difficult. However, it also helped him segue into the unfamiliar role of job seeker. While he started looking for a new position right away, contacting people within his professional network and working with an outplacement firm to rework his resume, the fact that he had some time where he was still working was a great help.
"While I worked, I was thinking about how to organize my job search," he said. "I hadn't written a resume in a while, and it took a little bit of change in mindset to put myself in the job market again."
Haaf made several discoveries in the months between the time he was let go and when he was hired. It was a learning process he said, that led to him find a new position with a smaller, growing company.
The first fact with which Haaf had to come to terms: It often takes higher-level executives longer to find a new job than mid-level executives.
"The higher up you go, the fewer jobs there are, and the longer it can take to find a job," he said. "I heard this from several people, executives that had been laid off. Hearing it helped me a lot, knowing that it wasn't unusual for two or three months to go by without getting an offer."
But that didn't mean he was taking it easy. He started his search by using his extensive professional network, built up over many years in sales and marketing. "I was connected to a lot of my former clients, and of course I reached out to them," he said. "But most of the people I was reaching out to were in the data or financial services field and were also downsizing dramatically."
A new contact list, a new search
Haaf realized pretty quickly he would need to shift gears. He thought about what he liked about his job and what skills he could bring to a different type of company. "I loved selling and teaching people to sell. I enjoyed thinking about a company at a strategic level, what makes it successful," he said. "It was midway through my search when I looked around and thought, 'Among all this misery in the economy, who is benefitting?' Bankruptcy-process outsourcing was one of many businesses fitting that description. That type of opportunity became one of my areas of focus."
His original resume spotlighted his experience working with financial-services providers in the lending and bankcard space. He decided to create new resumes that would capture a broader audience. "I had one that positioned me as a financial-services executive; eventually I changed it to marketing-services executive," he said. "They are all truthful, but they position me in different ways."
As he refocused his search, Haaf realized something else: Recruiters didn't necessarily understand who he was and what he was looking for. So he used his networking skills to create a new list of contacts, and began to become more proactive in selling himself.
"I'm relatively fearless about contacting senior-level people," he said. "I found that initially, I wasn't contacting people high enough in organizations. When I started reaching higher up, I started getting more respect about what I was trying to do, and people were more interested in what I had to say. I started to realize that the skill set that I wanted to promote was more attractive at a certain level in the company. I still talked to a lot of recruiters, but I was more active in doing it myself.
"The value of TheLadders," he continued, "was that I was able to get on to a company's Web site, see what they were looking for, study the business model and learn who the executives were. Things like that would help me form a more tailored value proposition. TheLadders told me who was looking for positions. I started there."
Haaf described another important difference in the way he approached high-level executives: Instead of inquiring about job openings, he asked for advice or information about their business. "When you are trying to see people, you shouldn't always present yourself as someone who is looking for an interview," he said. "You just say you'd like to come by and introduce yourself. There's a lot more to positioning yourself. Executives will perceive you differently.
"People thought I had a lot of interviews," Haaf said. "But a lot of those conversations weren't interviews, they were just discussions with executives."
Eventually, his leads panned out. After a couple of months of interviews, discussions and research, a friend referred him for a job at Ascension Capital Group.
In early December, things really came together. He received an offer from a financial-services company, and then a second offer from Ascension, which he accepted on Christmas Eve, 2008. After several months of interviewing, researching and strategizing, it all came together in two short weeks.
The "Four Ps"
In his new role as VP of sales and marketing, Haaf said he brings business-development and thought-leadership expertise to a much smaller company than the one at which he'd worked before. When he set about looking for a new job, his priorities were to be able to sell, work on strategy and lead a team. He has been able to bring two of his three priorities to this new job, and, he said, "If we grow, I will have all three."
Haaf attributes his success to his own personal " four Ps: planning, persistence, pals and prayer," he said. "Keeping faith through this process was really critical. And, of course, having my network, my pals, who I met with on a regular basis just to keep me going in the right direction."
As for persistence, it's the hardest thing to do when you have a bad day during the job search. "My advice to anyone looking for a job right now is to depersonalize it as much as you can," he said. "Realize it is a job you are talking about, and it's not a reflection on you personally. Stick to your plan, and have faith. It will happen. It takes time, sometimes longer than you would like."
He worked hard to remain optimistic throughout his search. "I had one company that I interviewed with for a senior position; I had interviews all the way up to the president, and it ended up not working out," he recalled. "At that point, I thought, 'How can I channel this energy? I could sit back and sulk, or I could use it positively.'
"So I used it as a lesson for my sons, who are 18 and 19. I told them, 'I want you guys to know, when you have a bad experience, you take what you can learn from it and be in a better position the next time around.' Life doesn't always work out like you want to, but you do have to keep going. And I got up the next day and kept going."

This loop of mine is becoming addictive, another 20.54 @ 16.5, and this time i got to ride a few miles with someone else.
"change is the only constant"
31 miles Saturday solo. 10 mph south winds made for a challenge. It was the last of the warm days for a while. Gonna be cold here all week.
new sunday monday habit, 19.95 mi in 1:12, 16.5 ave, cool but comfortable in upper 40's
"change is the only constant"
24 miles with my dependable riding buddy Larry after work. It was in upper 40's here as well and not as bad as I thought it would be. Sometimes you get the clothes just right.
22 miles yesterday and 10 today on the mt bike. Haven't been on the mtb in a while it really works you. Not as cold as the road bike either.
no rides for me in 12 days.
Finally got out yesterday after the deep freeze and got caught in the rain and had to turn around only 8 miles. Try another day. Its not always gonna be perfect.
I had been doing my usual super short and even embarassing commute to work all week through the fla deep freeze, about 10-15 miles all week. Then I did about 23 miles yesterday, reversed route to combat wind direction. A nice 20mph with the wind at my back, a short stretch of "old hard road," literally, its a hard dirt road that i took with 23's @ 20 mph... whoa... stopped by an old pause point i used to make about 10 years ago... its been more developed of course...
the last quarter or so of my ride was a rough little rolling section into the wind, i was slowed quit a bit by this, but some of the time that i was working so hard and concentrating intensly i was staying around 17 (don't know how, didn't feel like it). I made it past the tracks just in time to remember that i brought my camera... empty south bound CSX.
think i'll try again today, taking pics can be fun, but all the stoping and starting holds me up, need a helmet cam (saw one at nashbar)
"change is the only constant"
Great pics Droobieinop! I doubt I could figure out how to post any pics of my rides. Maybe I will try.
35 miles today solo through the SW GA countryside. SW wind at 10 and low 50's not too bad. Great to get out.
http://tinypic.com/, there you can resize for forum (629x480 I think), then copy and paste the "IMG Code for Forums & Message Boards." Bring on the kudzu and Ga. red, I seem to remember it being somewhat hilly when I visited with childhood friends.lbs and back
Today was fairly warm, didn't care too much, don't think it was below 60 but, same winds...
pushing 29 with the wind at my back at a flat below a hill, spining 44x16 fixed... WHoahah...
went to the lbs and back, about 16 miles round trip (new parts for old hybrid)
"change is the only constant"
I got in 25 miles after work today. Still cool in the 50's but weather much improved.
11 more days to go...
trainer time for now.
Oh yeah, I played hooky this afternoon. 66 miles from Rt 28 commuter lot, down W&OD to Leesburg, out Rt 15, Gleedsville Rd (2 blocks worth of gravel ) then Oatlands Mill (unpaved but rideable), Lime Kiln to Snickersville to Airmont to Round Hill to Hillsboro to Purcelleville and then back on the wonderful W&OD again. What a great day after the weather we've had!
I saw a guy out on a bike while I was at work today... he seemed to be enjoying the nice weather. I was quite jealous.... this evening I was planning on an hour n the trainer but despite listening to treasure island (which is a pretty good book...) I lacked the mental stamina to keep at it for more than 45 minutes.
Got out with the local guys yesterday morning for 37 miles. Cool but not cold.
I am just testing to see if I could post a picture.
nice merlin, looks comfy, a friend of my built one up with sns couplings to fold and put on little sailboat, i've been jealous ever since....
look look a hill, thats what one looks like i almost forgot
"change is the only constant"
Thanks for showing me how to post a picture. It wasn't bad at all. After riding BRAG last yr on those shake and bake roads I needed something different. Found the Merlin on Roadbike Review for about the same price as my Trek Pilot. On long rides the Merlin is a dream compared to the aluminum frame. Yes we have hills in S Ga not a big as those up North but enough to know they are there.
I did what I guess to be my first planned interval exercises... (on the trainer) did 10min warm up, and alternated 5min @ 160bpm and 5min @ 180bpm 5 times, then some cool down... and now some recovery pasta salad while watching the last stage of the tour down under.
that's like the curb trick. You set the crank up such that the force on the pedal is such that the bike just barely wants to go forward (not free-wheel) and if you do it right, there won't be enough force on it to overcome it's resistance to move and it'll stand up - like a kick stand.
the real question is - did you carry that brick with you?
This morning I finally got to go for a little ride with my lbs http://aboutbicyclesop.tripod.com/index.html, they dropped me, but I rode fixed with about 8 gear inches less than their racing machines. I haven't riden in a group, not even of 4 in maybe 8 or 9 years, and the owner is the a national masters tandem champion. http://www.velobrew.com/JaxHome.asp Thats him on the right.
Time and distance was not important, but networking was. Oh, and making it back home before having to go back to work.
"change is the only constant"

Did you know that graffiti could be used to do good? The Spanish art collective BoaMistura does, and its recent project in Brazil is both beautiful and meaningful.
Spotted by VisualNews, the project took place in a Brazilian slum near São Paulo, the favela of Vila Brasilândia. While it only took a short period of time to complete, it had longlasting effects on the local community, starting with its visual impact.
F**k it, we'll do it live!
Our biggest ever edition of TNW Conference is fast approaching! Join 10,000 tech leaders this May in Amsterdam.
As you can see on the pictures below, the collective used perspective typography to give narrow streets a stunning makeover:
While the results look great, eye candy is only a small part of the project. As you may have noticed, its word selection is quite telling, ranging from 'beauty' (beleza) to 'sweetness' (doçura) and 'love' (amor). Yet, the most important of them all could be 'pride' (orgulho).
Beyond urban art, the purpose of this intervention was to create a sense of proudness in the local community. This is why inhabitants were directly involved in the paintings they now live with; to convey its meaning, this work had to be their own.

Surf City: NYC's Best Beach Spots
by Heather Liang, 05/14/2014
City Island. Photo: Alex Lopez
Take a trip to NYC's northernmost borough to experience the "Riviera of New York," also known as Orchard Beach. Designed in the 1930s as a retreat up north, this sandy beach features 13 sections, totaling just over one mile in length and around 115 acres. The only public beach in the Bronx, Orchard Beach is an extension of the famous Pelham Bay Park—the largest public park in the City—and also includes a promenade with concessions, playgrounds, picnic areas and 26 courts for sports like handball, volleyball and basketball. Unlike at the other beaches we've covered, here you'll be dipping your toes into the Long Island Sound. A favorite of sunbathers in the hot summer weather, Orchard Beach is also a popular destination for a stroll when the weather cools off. Not far off of Pelham Bay Park and Orchard Beach lies City Island, a small island that is only 1.5 mile long and half a mile wide. While there aren't any beaches on City Island, it's a wonderful place to enjoy warm weather: you can rent a boat to go out fishing, learn how to sail at a yacht club or just sit near the water and devour some of the best seafood in NYC. It's also a bicycle-friendly area, with bike paths that provide some spectacular views. The small-town nautical charm of this island can't be matched. Interesting fact about City Island: it is home to many types of birds, particularly aquatic species, including swans, herons, egrets and other gulls.

Minnesota will be one of the states least affected by sequestration, but it's still going to suck
Starting this weekend, public sector workers and those who depend on them will pay the price for Washington's political impasse.
Barring a last-minute deal in D.C., this Friday will mark the beginning of $1.2 trillion in federal budget cuts that will be gradually implemented over the next decade.
SEE ALSO: Minnesota's economic recovery driven by McJobs, not middle-class jobs
All states will be affected, some more than others. And it turns out Minnesota ranks toward the top of the "others" category, while our neighbor to the southwest will take it on the chin harder than anywhere else.
As the Washington Post explains, "The Pew Center on the States has measured each state's exposure to the sequester by calculating its federal aid subject to the sequester as a percentage of the state's total GDP." Here's Pew's graph of the most- and least-impacted states:
Click to enlarge
But just because sequestration is relatively unsucky here doesn't mean it won't still suck. Earlier today, the White House released a state-by-state analysis of specific ways each state will be impacted when $85 million is suddenly removed from the federal budget this Friday. Here's how WCCO sums up the damage for Minnesota:
If budget cuts go into effect, the White House says Minnesota will lose $7 million in education funding, putting about 100 teacher and aide jobs at risk.
Also, 2,000 military employees would be furloughed, losing more than $12 million in pay.
Local law enforcement and public safety agencies -- along with the state public health department -- would lose hundreds of thousands of dollars.
The Washington Post succinctly describes the game of chicken going on between the Obama administration and the GOP majority in the House of Representatives:
In the long partisan conflict over government spending, the sequester is where the rubber meets the road. Obama is betting Americans will be outraged by the abrupt and substantial cuts to a wide range of government services, from law enforcement to food safety to public schools. And he is hoping they will rise up to demand what he calls a "balanced approach" to deficit reduction that replaces some cuts with higher taxes.
But if voters react with a shrug, congressional Republicans will have won a major victory in their campaign to shrink the size of government. Instead of cancelling the sequester, the GOP will likely push for more.
It's fascinating political theater, until it jeopardizes your livelihood. Then it just blows.

New London - Mayor Daryl Justin Finizio took to Facebook Sunday to criticize the Whale Tales Facebook page for allowing one of its writers to post a photo that depicts him as Adolf Hitler.
City resident Kathleen Mitchell, who administers the page, said she became aware of the photo Sunday morning after she received a message about inappropriate content from Facebook. She said the photo was up for a maximum of 30 minutes before she removed it.
Mitchell said she did not feel the photo was inappropriate as both men are considered "fiery orators."
"I understand the intent of it. It compared Daryl's oratory skills and skill at manipulating an audience (to Hitler's)," she said about the posting. "He's a dynamic speaker."
Mitchell, who pointed out that she has Jewish relatives, said the photo had nothing to do with Hitler's other traits or actions.
As for the person who posted it, she said that the only people who can post are a limited number of city employees and board members who are anonymous writers for Whale Tales. She said she does not know who posted it but could likely determine that after making some phone calls. She said she has no intention of naming the person who did so but said it was not she.
At 2:20 p.m. Sunday, Whale Tales posted this message: "Whale Tale is not intended to be socially offensive, but sometimes it happens anyway. And we do enjoy roasting the Mayor because he deserves it, but not at the expense of our followers. We also take very seriously the very wrong interpretation by some of our FB friends and take exception to their erroneous postings and comments. The picture that was posted earlier today, because of their very wrong interpretations, has been removed. Should you still be offended in any way, please unfriend Whale Tale."
Finizio said Sunday that while he does not typically pay attention to anonymous comments about him on "sites such as Whale Tales and The Day," a friend who follows the page alerted him to the posting on Sunday.
He said some of his supporters monitor sites such as Whale Tales because false information published there is then used as campaign material.
He said it is appropriate to address postings that "cross the line."
In the statement on his Facebook page, Finizio said "today something came to my attention that should shock the conscience of every New Londoner."
The caption to the photo refers to him as "Adolph Fibnizio."
"This kind of venomous political discourse poisons our community. Comparisons to Nazi-ism are clearly outside the boundaries of acceptable behavior," he wrote.
He called on Mitchell and others involved with the Facebook page to do more than remove the image - to disband the Facebook group.
He also called on politicians who have received support from the page to denounce the posting. If they do not, he said, the are "condoning this type of behavior."
"That these individuals would (choose) MLK weekend to engage in hate speech is clearly unacceptable," he wrote, referring to the Monday holiday in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. "My vision for New London is for a City that values all our residents as equals and where political disagreements, passionate though they may be, can be handled with professionalism and respect."
In conclusion, he wrote, "Shame on these people! You do not represent New London, and at long last, even for the reptilian likes of you, you have gone too far."

|Zdeno Chara scores on power play to give Bruins lead
|03.22.11 at 8:35 pm ET
The Bruins were plenty to work with in the second period, and they made good on one of the four penalties the Devils took to give them a 2-1 lead entering the third period.
After drawing a Nick Palmieri tripping penalty at 8:08, Zdeno Chara gave the B's the lead at 8:17 off a nice pass from Milan Lucic. It was the B's first goal on 5-on-4 play since Feb. 18. The B's are currently 1-for-3 on the man advantage for the night.
After trailing the Devils in shots on goal by a 12-1 margin at one point in the first period, the B's battled back in that department and are now being outshot, 24-23. Of course, being on the power play for almost half a period will help to improve those numbers.
|Don Cherry on D&C: Matt Cooke is 'a little rat,' Mario Lemieux 'one of the biggest phonies'
|at 9:20 am ET
CBC hockey commentator Don Cherry joined the Dennis & Callahan show Tuesday morning to discuss the Matt Cooke suspension, what could happen the next time Zdeno Chara travels to Montreal and the recent slide of the Bruins.
After a seven-game winning streak that seemed to announce the Bruins as serious Stanley Cup contenders, the club has struggled, posting a 1-3-3 mark in its last seven games. Cherry was asked if the Bruins were built for a deep postseason run.
"There's something wrong there," said Cherry, who coached the Bruins from 1974-79. "Right now, there's something wrong with that team. When they came into Toronto, and they were absolutely awful. But if you're going to take a swoon, this is the time to do it. I would like to see [Shawn] Thornton play. He hasn't played that much since [Chris] Kelly came to Boston. '¦ I would play Thornton a regular shift because he's the Bruins for sure."
The NHL suspended Penguins forward Cooke for the final 10 games of the regular season plus the entire first round of the playoffs on Monday, the fifth suspension in Cooke's 12-year career. Cooke, of course, was not suspended for the elbow to the head of Marc Savard last year, which directly caused what might turn out to be a career-ending concussion for the Bruins center. Cherry feels if Cooke had been properly disciplined for the Savard hit it might have prevented the elbow to Rangers defenseman Ryan McDonagh that led to Cooke's suspension.
"He should have been tossed for what happened to Savard, but they said they didn't have a rule," Cherry said. "The guy never even got four minutes or anything for that. If he had got [suspended for] 20 games then, maybe he would have been straightened out. He should have been suspended for what he did to Savard and he got his comeuppance. '¦ They should have given him 20-30 games back then and it might have straightened the little rat out."
Cherry added that Mario Lemieux, who complained about dirty play following last month's game against the Islanders, is "one of the biggest phonies I've ever seen in my life."
"He says, 'we have to get ride of headshots,' and the [president], Dave Morehouse, says 'we have to get rid of headshots,' and [general manager] Ray Shero, who I really like, says the same thing. What happens? They've got the [biggest] headshot guy of all time, they're paying his paychecks. What a bunch of hypocrites, I'll tell you."
Chara was not suspended for his March 8 hit of Canadiens forward Max Pacioretty, who suffered a concussion and a non-displaced fracture of cervical vertebrae. This led to outrage throughout Montreal, and Montreal police did open a criminal investigation against Chara. Cherry was asked if the Boston defenseman has reason to be concerned about future trips to Montreal.
"Who's going to arrest him? That's not going to happen. And the Canadiens have really have nobody to do anything to him," Cherry said. "Who would? And if the game is close, nothing is going to happen. He's too big, too strong. '¦ There's no way he did that to that guy [on purpose], he was just taking that guy out. And I really give it to the owners ' the Molsons ' they didn't have enough padding on that turnbuckle. It should have been padded, the kid would have bounced right off."

|Tuukka Rask, Bruins beat Blue Jackets in shootout to snap skid
|03.15.11 at 9:47 pm ET
Tyler Seguin was given just 9:57 of ice time Tuesday night, but he co-starred with Tuukka Rask in a 3-2 shootout victory over the Blue Jackets that ended a four-game losing streak.
The Bruins fell behind in the final minute of the first period when Grant Clitsome sent a blast from the blue line past Rask, but a Zdeno Chara shot that went off David Krejci would tie it in the second. With the Bruins trailing in the third period and Nathan Horton in the box for holding the stick, Rich Peverley scored the B's eighth shorthanded goal of the season, beating Steve Mason for his 16th goal of the season.
Rask, who had 32 saves in regulation, made timely saves in the third period in stopping Jakub Voracek, Antoine Vermette, Derick Brassard and Derek Dorsett on key Blue Jackets opportunities. He followed that by stopping Rick Nash and Fedor Tyutin in the shootout.
The Bruins will head to Nashville to face the Predators on Thursday.
– While benching Michael Ryder may have opened some eyes, there's no debating that the Bruins are in better shape for a shootout with Seguin in the lineup. The rookie has struggled to pin down the NHL game physically, but when it comes to skating down the ice untouched, talent trumps all.
– The Bruins may have not seen much time on the power play, but they scored more than Columbus on Blue Jackets power plays. The B's killed off all six penalties they took, with Peverley scoring the timely short-handed goal.
– Either Milan Lucic or Krejci were bound to see their point streaks continue due to the B's first goal, and after a scoring change it proved to be Krejci. Lucic hit Johnny Boychuk with a pass in the offensive zone, with Boychuk setting up a Chara blast that went off Krejci before sailing past Steve Mason. Though Lucic didn't get an assist on the play, he still has six points (2 G, 4 A) in his last six games. Krejci now has at least one point in each of his last six games, and eight points (2 G, 6 A) over the span.
– Good to see Rask play the role of stopper, as he picked up the Bruins' first win in five games. The Bruins' four-game skid was the ninth time this season the team had lost at least two games in a row. Of the previous eight occurrences, Tim Thomas had gotten the win that followed the first five losing streaks, with Rask now serving as the stopper in the last four. That's a combination of both coincidence and the fact that Claude Julien is giving his young goaltender more time down the stretch.
– Mark Recchi continues the climb up the list for most games played. Tuesday, he surpassed former Bruin Dave Andreychuk, and at 1,640 games, Recchi is now fifth all-time.
– The Bruins had just one power play in the game, and it lasted all of five seconds. Patrice Bergeron took an interference penalty following the face-off that began an Antione Vermette hooking minor. The team's power play struggles have been well-documented (just one power play goal since Feb. 28), and having just five seconds on the man advantage isn't exactly the right way to remedy them.
– Scottie Upshall continues to haunt Rask. Nice puck-movement by his line drew Rask way out of his net with less than eight minutes to go, and Upshall easily put his 20th of the season into an unoccupied net. The goal was his third goal against Rask in three games facing him.
– That's now two games in a row in which Nathan Horton has taken a penalty in the final seven minutes of the game with the Bruins trailing. Horton was called for interference at 13:12 of the third period against the Islanders on Saturday, and he went off at 13:06 for holding the stick. Of course, the Bruins ended up tying the game with Horton in the box, but it certainly isn't the type of habit the B's want to develop. Krejci would later be called for a cross-check with 4:34 remaining.
|Zdeno Chara scores, Bruins lead Islanders after two
|03.11.11 at 8:37 pm ET
The power play drought is over, Zdeno Chara is making noise on the scoring sheet, and the Bruins lead the Islanders 2-1 after the second period.
The Bruins captain scored his 12th goal of the season when sound passing by Tomas Kaberle and David Krejci led to a blast from the top of the left circle on a 5-on-3. It was the Bruins' first goal in their last 22 power plays.
Chara drew both penalties, as he was held by Milan Jurcina and saw the Islanders turned a shorthanded bid into a Bruins 5-on-3 when Frans Nielson cross-checked him in the Bruins' zone.
The Islanders broke up Tim Thomas shutout bid when Matt Moulson scored his 29th of the season with two seconds left in the period and Brad Marchand in the box for interference.
One look at the face of Johnny Boychuk tells you all you need to know about what kind ending is in store for the Bruins in the last month of the regular season.
A fight to the finish to be sure.
While all the focus was on Zdeno Chara and the firestorm of controversy over his hit on Max Pacioretty, Boychuk was playing his first game since suffering quite the shiner below his left eye in a fight with Montreal's Ryan White a period earlier. Boychuk echoed the sentiment of the Bruins when he said he was happy to see Chara drill Jason Pominville with a clean hit early in the first period.
"He's not going to change the way he's going to play," Boychuk said. "He's a big man and he's our team leader. You wouldn't want him to change his game because I like seeing the physicalness in his game."
On Thursday, Boychuk and the Bruins found themselves in a different sort of battle – one with the officials.
The Bruins killed off the first four penalties against them but Buffalo capitalized on two of the next three to help erase a 2-0 Bruins lead early.
"It's kind of tough to give a 60-minute effort when we're always killing penalties like that," Boychuk said. "I don't know if they're good calls or bad calls but it definitely takes a toll on some guys in the dressing room when you've got guys killing penalties all the time. And some of those guys are also play power play so they're going to be out there more than others and by the end of the game, they're going to be tired."
The other concern of late – during the three-game losing streak – is the lack of discipline and focus over 60 minutes.
"I think that we had that when we were on that winning streak," fellow B's blueliner Adam McQuaid said. "For the most part we had sixty-minute effort. The last few games there have been very highs and very lows, so I think the biggest thing is to get back to that sixty- minute effort."
Seven different minor penalties were called on the B's, including two with the Bruins already a man down that created 5-on-3 chances for the Sabres. The Bruins killed off the first but weren't so lucky the second time in the third period as the Sabres tied the game and won it in overtime.
Boychuk knew going into the game with the Sabres Thursday night that they would be facing a desperate team.
"We did play them in the playoffs last year and they're fighting for their playoff spot so we didn't expect them to roll over and die on us," Boychuk said.
That will be the same approach the Bruins can expect from just about every team they play from here on out.
Even the Islanders, who are out of the playoff picture in the East, could play spoiler when they take on the Bruins tonight in Nassau County on Long Island.
Before dropping their third straight Thursday, the Bruins started their seven-game win streak against the Islanders on Feb. 17 on Long Island.
"Might as well start another one," Boychuk said. "Why not?"
|Zdeno Chara appreciates the 'nice gesture' of Max Pacioretty
|03.10.11 at 11:27 pm ET
It's been a bizarre 24 hours for Zdeno Chara, Max Pacioretty and the NHL to say the very least.
On Wednesday night, Pacioretty said he was 'disgusted' that Chara wasn't fined or suspended for the hit on Tuesday night that gave him a severe concussion and broke a vertebrae in his back.
Then Thursday, Pacioretty showed his support of a fellow NHL combatant by publicly denouncing any effort by Montreal authorities to criminally prosecute Chara for a hit that happened in the course of a game.
Following Thursday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Sabres, Chara said he was relieved to be back playing and appreciated the words earlier in the day from Pacioretty.
"It's obviously a nice gesture," Chara said. "It's something that, for sure, shouldn't go that far. It's something, like I said, very unfortuante. I keep repeating that. You feel bad about it. You don't want to see anybody get hurt and especially, in that case, upper body, and most likely, neck and head."
Word came on Thursday that Montreal authorities plan an investigation to determine whether criminal charges should be brought against Chara, whose hit into the turnbuckle at center ice gave Pacioretty a severe concussion and fractured a vertabrae in his back.
"We all feel bad about it," Chara said. "It doesn't matter, rivalry or no rivalry, we all want to see the guy recover and obviously, I'm going to try and reach out to him and talk to him either over the phone or try to see him in person. But I totally understand and respect that now he probably needs time and space and to be around his closest family. I'm sure when the time is right, I'll probably reach out and talk and somehow connect."
For Chara, he was just glad to be back on the ice, focusing on hockey, not hearings.
"That's obviously one of those things I'd love to do," Chara said. "Playing hockey is obviously my most important thing. To be on the ice that's for sure the most important."
It was a home crowd that chanted his name during his first shift in the opening minute.
"For sure, it's something I very much appreciated and I'm very thankful for that. It feels for sure great to be home and to get that support from the fans," he added.
He even showed in the first period that he's not going to change his physical play because of Tuesday when he drilled Jason Pominville into the corner boards on a very clean but hard hit.
"I don't see any reason to change my game or my style of play," Chara said. "I'm going to continue to play physical and play hard. That's my game and I don't see any reason to change."
|Brad Boyes burns Bruins in overtime
|at 9:48 pm ET
A couple of players with Boston ties burned the B's in overtime, as former Bruin Brad Boyes took a pass from BC product Nathan Gerbe to beat Tim Thomas for a 4-3 Sabres win with 1:16 remaining.
Zdeno Chara, who has been a popular topic of discussion in the last two days, had two assists for the B's, who have now gone three games without a win (0-1-2).
Nathan Horton, Mark Recchi and Gregory Campbell provided the goals for the B's. Horton, who now has 19 goals on the season, is one shy of become the third Bruin to hit 20 on the season.
The Sabres received their regulation scoring from Tyler Ennis, Thomas Vanek and Tim Connolly. Goaltender Ryan Miller made 42 saves in the victory.
The Bruins will follow Thursday's loss by heading to Long Island for a bout with the Islanders.
– The Sabres had two separate two-man advantages on the night, and the B's were only able to kill off the first one, which lasted 30 seconds in the second period.
The second one proved more challenging. With Mark Recchi already in the box for high-sticking, Brad Marchand was the victim of a bad (and late) tripping call. The Sabres had 1:44 of a 5-on-3 to deal with, and Tim Connolly put home a rebound with 20 seconds remaining on Recchi's penalty.
The Sabres would go 2-for-7 on the power play on the night, as Vanek's goal came with Johnny Boychuk in the box in the second period.
– The Bruins blew a two different leads, one of which was of two-gaol variety. With the B's leading, 2-0, in the second, Ennis scored just 27 seconds after Recchi's goal, and Vanek made it a tie game about eight minutes later. Less than minutes after Campbell gave the Bruins a 3-2 lead, Connolly returned the game to a tie.
– The B's had just seven shots on goal in both the second and third periods after having 15 in the first. Shots on goal can be an overrated statistic at times, but its easy to blow leads when you're not getting pucks to the net.
– While Chara's production was strong in the game, he was the recipient of a very questionable boarding call on Steve Montador. What will this mean to the criminal investigation?
– The David Krejci line remains red hot. Both Milan Lucic and Krejci have 13 points in their last 10 games, as well as four-game point-streaks. Horton, meanwhile, has five goals in his last nine games. The Bruins will need their top line producing like this come the playoffs, so their stellar play and production over the last few weeks is a very good sign.
– It was a good debut production-wise for the new line of Recchi, Chris Kelly and Michael Ryder. Recchi scored his first goal in nine games, a tally that was assisted by Ryder, but that Chara largely set up with an aggressive pinch down low.
– Timely scoring from Gregory Campbell this season, as he came up big back in November to send the game vs. the Blues to overtime. The Merlot Line center's 10th of the season was a big one as well, as it gave the B's the lead in the third.

1982 Chevy Camaro Buildup - Paint And Body Make-OverWritten by on February 1, 1999 The Process Takes Some Time, But The Finished Product Is Worth The Wait - a little bodywork and auto paint can go a long way.
Project Fast-Forward F-Body will cover all the bases when it comes to upgrading an early third-generation Camaro to current standards, including appearance. While the 82 Z/28 was bold and trendy when it initially hit the streets, it is dated compared to the later third-generation cars. The body changes Chevrolet made over the 11-year production run were limited to front and rear fascias and side moldings, but the later, smoother pieces made a tremendous difference in the cars image. Since the changes included only those trim pieces, updating an 82-84 Z/28 or any year third-generation base-model Camaro to 85-90 or 91-92 specs is pretty straightforward.
Mike Paradis and Leon Miller at Cars, Trucks & Concepts handled the conversion for us while fixing minor body flaws and spraying the car with the popular Bright Aqua Poly color (or teal, in laymans terms). Even the color choice helps bring this car forward in appearance, since it wasnt available on earlier F-bodies. The body pieces required for the update include a front fascia, front turn-signal lamps, a lower front molding, a grille, a front reinforcement, a rear fascia, lower side moldings, door moldings and a flat hood. The front fascia, front reinforcement and hood are available new from Sherman & Associates, while the remainder of the parts must be purchased from General Motors or a salvage yard.
In addition to the updates achieved by using factory pieces, Cars, Trucks & Concepts furthered the smooth-and-cool treatment of the car by filling in the front emblem mount, removing the antenna hole and swapping the Camaro door handles for flush-mount 88-94 GM truck door handles. Its all enhanced by the quality of the paint job. The firewall, fenderwells and core support were stripped and painted body color (painting them anything but body color on a late-model GM car is butch), and the car was completely disassembled so that every nook and cranny could be cleaned and painted. The whole process took some time, but the finished product was worth the wait.
Next, well wave the magic update-wand over the interior and suspension to make the car comfortable and fun to drive, especially when the road in front of you isnt straight.

Late-model GM owners can now relate to early Chrysler enthusiasts when it comes to paint. For a complete and quality job, the car must be entirely disassembled because everything is painted body color. That includes the inner fenderwells, the firewall, the core support—everything.Since we were leaving the engine crossmember and front suspension bolted in place, we masked from the framerails down and will later paint the area semigloss black. The underhood surfaces were scuffed using Scotchbrite® pads (available at paint-supply stores), and bare metal spots were covered with PPG DP40 Epoxy Primer. This primer should be used on any exposed metal, aluminum or fiberglass (use DPX844 for flexible body parts) and can be sprayed over the old finish or undercoats once they've been sanded and cleaned.The rear fascia, lower moldings, spoiler, gas door and taillights were removed. Mike Paradis at Cars, Truck, & Concepts explains that removing those parts permits complete preparation around corners and crevices that would be inaccessible otherwise. Those spots are where the paint would start lifting later. Removing the parts also allows the painter to spray the backsides and hidden edges (a process referred to as jambing) while the parts are off the car. It all adds up to a first-rate paint job that will look great and be durable.Part of our paint and bodywork includes a body update. We combined new replacement body parts with previously road-tested '91-'92 body pieces to visually turn our '82 Z/28 into a '91-'92 RS. The front fascia and rebar (reinforcement) are available new from Sherman & Associates. The company does not offer the lower front molding, grille or lights, which must be purchased from General Motors or a salvage yard. Rips in the fascias can be repaired, and dents or waviness require a heat gun and a skilled hand, so be choosy if you're purchasing the front and rear fascias used. Marv's USA Auto Dismantling often has complete front fascias in stock, which gives you everything you need to update the nose of the car.If your car is a Z/28, IROC or '85-'90 RS, almost all of the holes and brackets should be in place for the '91-'92 body pieces. Pre-'85 Camaros need slots cut in the front fenders to attach the lower front molding. On base-model bodies, you'll need two side-molding supports (General Motors part No. 10191801) that should be spot-welded below the door openings. The rest of the body pieces require that holes be drilled in the body to correspond to attaching clips and screws. Our complete set of '91-'92 RS lower side moldings came from Marv's USA and are the same as '91-'92 Z/28 moldings.As it turned out, our initial purchase was a wise one, as the car didn't need any major body repairs. While the body was disassembled, the door dings and other minor body flaws were repaired using Thompson Lacquer Company Ultra Light body filler. Cars, Trucks, & Concepts then block sanded the body parts and sprayed all the jamb areas. Complete disassembly such as this is the only way to complete a color change correctly. Paradis sprayed '94 GM Bright Aqua Poly (PPG WA9796) using PPG Deltron Basecoat Urethane (DBU) and Delglo Acrylic Urethane (DAU) clear.
