text: Notice: This was updated and rewritten on July 7th, 2011. On paragraph 8, I used Very few information based from Another\u00a0article. Yeah, it means what you think it means, but not even that close. I watched small portions of some of the\u00a0previous\u00a0World Cup matches recently. I would add: Soccer just looks strange. But\u00a0internationally, It really is Football.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0If there's a standard concern among any retiring player, it's how the game will remember them. Even the elite sometimes wonder if they'll be remembered at all, triumphs in their time reduced to relatively mundane memories years removed and ultimately stored away. It happens in all sports, but the collective memory of American soccer has always been fragile and fragmented. We exist in a soccer culture that can forget entire leagues, much less the members of the teams that played in them. \u00a0No American soccer fan needs to have the lack of coherency explained. Multiple leagues and structures end up unfocused, the stories susceptible to the kind of gradual erosion that leaves them too linear and often times suspect. Attempts at reconstruction end up impressive only to the true believers, with the rest of the audience wondering exactly why we're supposed to care. It's a fair point. \u00a0Clubs fade along with their players. Remember the Wings, the Quicksilvers, the Foxes, the Roughnecks? Sure, there was that game ... but the structure for the story is lacking. Instead, we get an amalgam that turns a story into, at best, a myth and, at worst, a fabrication. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Yep, I remember ... Only it wasn't that season, much less that day, and you got the city wrong. There is so much to remember. So many clubs, players, tournaments. The players themselves might have an almost encyclopedic recall that borders on scary, but the rest of us usually have more of a sense of scene if anything. \u00a0Even that gets easily confused. Repository thinking has its own fans and limitations, putting what we can fairly categorize as trivia before the story. That can reap a kind of dismissive acknowledgment from fans as well as those within the game. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Sure, we all recognize American soccer has tradition. But it's a new day where the past isn't going to help us figure out global sponsorship markets, stadium construction, and the contemporary transfer system. At least that's what those actively forming the future of American pro soccer occasionally deign to tell us. \u00a0In many ways, it's a fair point. \u00a0Induction ceremonies have become feel good events that capsulate eras in the experiences of a handful of players, the elite of the elite. By default, that's an exercise in marginalizing. Even slightly removed, and the broader story becomes more about getting at the main, and hopefully short, point. The museum exhibit ideal of history. \u00a0Our game moves on. \u00a0Pay tacit acknowledgment to the past but work to press forward towards a promotional future. One that doesn't necessarily need a historical foundation for legitimacy. Tradition can be built. We've seen just that repeated multiple times. Carting it over wholesale with the International Soccer League in the early '60s, through the regenerative efforts the North American Soccer League used every third or fourth season, and up to Major League Soccer, which set all of that aside over a decade ago. \u00a0In the end, tradition only really matters as a profit motive. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Nobody should reasonably argue that profit margin shouldn't be at the heart of the American professional game. Soccer clubs aren't civic trusts, existing for the good of the community and funded through that mentality. To some, neither are Hall of Fames nor museums outside of those with endowments paying operating costs. The North American Soccer League setup shop in 40 markets. Add in the Major Indoor Soccer League, and that number increases to just about any city of size you can name. \u00a0All stories, all connecting a group of fans to the tradition that creates contemporary American soccer. Few if any of them offer enough monetary justification for telling their stories. So we move to what story we're interested in hearing. If it's the highlight-reel version of American soccer history, we have that in a building off an interstate in New York. If it's the struggle of American professional soccer clubs and players trying to make it work, tied to place and fans, then there's an alternative history of attempted markets, overlooked teams, and the stories that don't necessarily include the usual names.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0In a world of adults there's no sense in pretending that right intention will or even should win the day. But before we let entire leagues pass on with a limited memorial and good intentions, it might be worth considering real preservation. We have the history of a game that has set up shop everywhere from the biggest stadiums in the country, to some of the most obscure arenas, always trying to find its place. We also have a National Soccer Hall of Fame pressured to show a profit rather than what should be a clear mandate on behalf of the clubs and players that have gone before: serve as the permanent and supported home of the full history of American soccer. It's time professional soccer allows the Hall to do that job. \u00a0\u00a0 Americans know that our Obama-voting suburban elite deliberately has replaced American-style football in its own schools with multicultural, politically correct, non-violent soccer. The replacement of football by soccer is a metonymy for the community of fashion\u2019s rejection of \u201chard, isolate, stoic\u201d traditional American culture in favor of a less decidedly masculine internationalist alternative. New Canaan and Brookline are saying to the rest of America: \u201cWe don\u2019t want to be provincial ruffians like you. We want to be Italian or Brazilian.\u201d \u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0 Finally, Soccer games are accompanied by what Dan Nosowitz aptly describes as the \u201cgrating, stab-your-ears-with-a-pencil drone of the vuvuzela,\u201d an obnoxious plastic horn which was apparently first adopted by the Zulus of South Africa to replace their dreaded iklwa Soccer as it is known to Americans, is the worlds most popular sport! It is played by millions in every country around the world. The World Cups in 2006 and 2010 had an estimated average of 700+ million viewers not including people inside and outside the stadium. The two biggest leagues (English Premier League and Italian Serie A) have more fans than the NFL, MLB, NHL, NBA or any other American professional sports league. The fans are amazing (I mean they riot for the most pointless games, yet in the US you have to win a World Series to riot). Games have near 100,000 people at them, every one sings songs, drinks, celebrates, and cheers on their favorite club. Every one I know that has traveled to Europe and gone to a match has become a soccer fan because of the atmosphere at a game. Yet why do Americans still consider it a \"sissy\" sport?\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0 Professional Soccer players or as Americans insist on calling them \"Foot fairies\" have a skill and athletic ability that most people can only dream of. Last year's World Cup took place in South Africa from June 11th through July 11th. The United States actually had a good team that year unlike the team they had back in the 2006 FIFA World Cup. Yet no body seems to care. Is this because the MLS has been a huge failure? Or are people in America too stubborn to realize that this sport is truly a great sport! Sorry Americans but your version of Football is only watched by 1 country, REAL FOOTBALL is watched in every country in the world!\u00a0Think about the amazing accomplishments the U.S Soccer team has done historically and recently. They've reached Third in the inaugural 1930 World Cup, They've won 4 CONCACAF Gold Cups (Recently in 2007), They've even reached fourth in a Copa America once. Want more? They've won a Silver and a Bronze medal in the 1904 St. Louis Summer Olympic Games, they've reached the Quarterfinals of the 2002 FIFA World Cup, They've beaten the #1 team in the world Spain back in 2009, and finished Runner-ups in the 2009 FIFA Confederations Cup only losing to Brazil. Still want more? They've reached 4th in the FIFA World Rankings in April of 2006, They've beaten former World Cup Winners Argentina, Brazil, Germany, and Uruguay, and lets not forget that stunning win over England back in the 1950 FIFA World Cup in Brazil.\u00a0\u00a0Now, Nobody does not\u00a0acknowledge this, but they should know that our National Soccer Team in not a\u00a0complete\u00a0failure at all. The only reason why Americans think Soccer is a \"Girly\" Sport is because they're used to watching 250'lb Men\u00a0tackling each other just for a Ball that looks like a cone or watching a Hoops Superstar making a 360 degree Slam Dunk on a 7-Footer. I don't blame them. When I was a little boy I used to play Soccer with other kids but by the time we've turned to teenagers We think of Football, Partying, and\u00a0Beautiful\u00a0Cheerleaders. In that perspective Teenagers can't play Football and Soccer at the same time. Think of me for example; I like playing Soccer and watch Soccer games but by the time I was 10, I started to become more\u00a0interested\u00a0in Basketball than Soccer. In the end I chose Basketball over Soccer in my first year of High School. It was a tough\u00a0decision for me, but I still love and watch the\u00a0beautiful\u00a0game of Soccer today. Perhaps most of you out there think that Soccer is just boring and unexciting, but mark my words, there will be a time in which Soccer will be one of the top sports in the U.S. Now I want to hear your answer and opinion on this question:\u00a0Does any one know why soccer cannot be accepted in the United States?<\/p><\/article><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/a>Guided_By_Tigers<\/a><\/dt>Follow<\/a><\/dd><\/dl>Forum Posts:<\/span> 8020<\/li>Wiki Points:<\/span> 132084<\/li>Followed by:<\/span> 0<\/li>Reviews:<\/span> 0 Lists:<\/span> 2<\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div>\n Posted By \n Guided_By_Tigers<\/a> - 5 years ago<\/time><\/div><\/div>You are awesome, Hardgamer. <\/p><\/article><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/a>PenguinDust<\/a><\/dt>Follow<\/a><\/dd><\/dl>Forum Posts:<\/span> 13000<\/li>Wiki Points:<\/span> 22<\/li>Followed by:<\/span> 0<\/li>Reviews:<\/span> 0 Lists:<\/span> 3<\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div>\n Posted By \n PenguinDust<\/a> - 5 years ago<\/time><\/div><\/div>Americans are only interested in sports we invented.\u00a0 Baseball, basketball, American football.\u00a0 End story.<\/p><\/article><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/a>Niall_Sg1<\/a><\/dt>Follow<\/a><\/dd><\/dl>Forum Posts:<\/span> 379<\/li>Wiki Points:<\/span> 19<\/li>Followed by:<\/span> 0<\/li>Reviews:<\/span> 0 Lists:<\/span> 0<\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div>\n Posted By \n Niall_Sg1<\/a> - 5 years ago<\/time><\/div><\/div>If you think you're watching violence with American Football try watching Rugby.\u00a0<\/p><\/article><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/a>Extreme_Popcorn<\/a><\/dt>Follow<\/a><\/dd><\/dl>Forum Posts:<\/span> 846<\/li>Wiki Points:<\/span> 0<\/li>Followed by:<\/span> 0<\/li>Reviews:<\/span> 0 Lists:<\/span> 3<\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div>\n Posted By \n Extreme_Popcorn<\/a> - 5 years ago<\/time><\/div><\/div>Football cannot be accepted in the US because you're shit it at it<\/p><\/article><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/a>shinigami420<\/a><\/dt>Follow<\/a><\/dd><\/dl>Forum Posts:<\/span> 647<\/li>Wiki Points:<\/span> 22<\/li>Followed by:<\/span> 0<\/li>Reviews:<\/span> 0 Lists:<\/span> 1<\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div>\n Posted By \n shinigami420<\/a> - 5 years ago<\/time><\/div><\/div><\/a><\/figure><\/article><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/a>MikeGosot<\/a><\/dt>Follow<\/a><\/dd><\/dl>Forum Posts:<\/span> 3237<\/li>Wiki Points:<\/span> 159<\/li>Followed by:<\/span> 0<\/li>Reviews:<\/span> 0 Lists:<\/span> 0<\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div>\n Posted By \n MikeGosot<\/a> - 5 years ago<\/time><\/div><\/div>Football is pretty cool.

I do not know of anything ''of the shelf''.
Should not be too hard to make ya know! Let's imagine a base of 1" thick hardwood (planed it will be 3/4") ..... perhaps 5" x 8". Cut another of same size and affix vertically to center or just behind center to base .... then drill two holes in that for dowel pegs. Sand everything of course and stain/oil/varnish to suit.
If x2 then make each a mirror of the other ........ attach revo's onto pegs and ''voila'' ........ not too bad. Position pegs to suit angle required for display - one to go thru trigger guard - other to support barrel.
If you tell me the gun sizes (bbl length mainly) - I could draw you up a simple plan.

Date of Stay: November, 2010
What a wonderful campground located in the hills near Los Angeles. The new staff was absolutely amazing, compared to some of the employees they had during our last visit. There used to be a heavy set older woman in the office that was plain and simply despicable. With the fresh polite new staff our views have gone from not returning, to absolutely making this our number one camping spot. Plus the bathrooms were in spectacular shape. We will definitely be returning to the smiling faces of this wonderful new staff.
Date of Stay: September, 2010
The hospitality brought to us by the staff and other guests was superb! Small area but a wonderful place to stay. We loved the area close to stores, and other locations needed. We will return when in the area again.

A New Chapter for the Voting Rights Act?
Election season may seem far off, but Congress is in the process of shaping legislation that could have a big impact on who makes it out to the polls.
A bipartisan group of lawmakers, led by Michigan Democratic Congressman John Conyers, Wisconsin Republican Congressman James Sensenbrenner, and Vermont Democratic Senator Patrick Leahy have introduced a new bill that takes up some of the issues identified in the Supreme Court's June decision in Shelby County v. Holder.
That ruling found that the formal used to determine whether a locality required federal supervision when passing new voting laws was outdated. This new bill attempts to update that formula.
Erin O'Brien, Associate Professor of Political Science at the University of Massachusetts Boston, studies where and when restrictive voting laws tend to pass.
Todd Zwillich, Takeaway Washington Correspondent, has been following the politics behind the proposed update to the Voting Rights Act.

text: CASTRIES, St. Lucia - Former government minister and long serving member of the ruling St. Lucia Labour Party (SLP) Jon Odlum, died Tuesday after a short illness. He was 76. Odlum, the brother of the late foreign affairs minister George Odlum, was the longest serving parliamentarian for Castries South, which he represented for 23 years, holding the portfolios of Community Development, Social Affairs and Sport. Odlum, the first ever television sport caster here, came to political prominence in 1974, when he captured the Castries South seat for the SLP and in 1982 joined his fire-brand brother, who formed the Progressive Labour Party (PLP), becoming the sole party winner in the elections of that year. SLP general secretary Leo Clarke said "Jon's selflessness was evident as he decided during the 2001 to 2006 term would be his last, even though his constituents pleaded for it to be otherwise, Jon was insistent that it was time to pass on the mantle. "It was little surprise then to those who knew him that Jon would be present on platform to formally endorse current holder Dr. Robert Lewis as his successor. Not only that, Jon would also campaign tirelessly to ensure Robert's victory. In a contest that was among the fiercest ever fought for that constituency, there is little dispute that Jon's hard work was a major part of Robert's success." For his service to "The Community and Government" Jon was awarded the St. Lucia Hewanorra Medal (Gold), the second highest award given to a civilian. "Jon fought the good fight; he served his people of Castries South with love and devotion and his country with distinction. We shall never forget him," Clarke added. He is survived by his wife Mona, his children and grandchildren. (CMC)

THE more television toddlers watch, the more they are likely to be obese and do badly at school when they are older, according to new research.
Scientists also found such children were more likely to be bullied by classmates and to become obese, as they had a tendency to snack more.
A study of 1,314 children aged 29 months quizzed parents on their children's weekly television exposure.
Researchers found, by the age of nine, those who had watched television the most had more problems in school and poorer health.
The study examined parent and teacher reports of the children's academic, psychosocial and health behaviours as well as their body mass index (BMI) .
Each additional hour of television in early childhood corresponded to a 7 per cent decrease in classroom engagement, 6 per cent decrease in achievement in maths and a 10 per cent increase in victimisation by classmates.
The study also revealed the children did less physical activity, had a higher consumption of fizzy drinks and snacks and a 5 per cent increase in BMI.
The study was conducted by Canadian scientists at the Universit de Montral, the Sainte-Justine University Hospital Research Centre and the University of Michigan and was published in the Archives of Paediatrics and Adolescent Medicine.
Edinburgh-based Sue Palmer, child development expert and author of Toxic Childhood, said: "This is why the French have banned broadcasting aimed at children under three.
"The Australian government has said children under two should not watch television at all and the American Academy of Paediatrics has had that advice for a long time.
"For children who watch television from an early age it becomes a default activity and they aren't learning how to explore their environment."
In 2008 a report revealed Scotland was the second fattest nation in the developed world, behind only the United States. The Scottish Government has since passed legislation banning sweets, sugary drinks and fatty meals from schools.
Dr Linda Pagani, a psychosociology professor at the Universit de Montral, who led the study, said the findings made a "compelling" public health argument against excessive TV viewing in early childhood.
She said:
"This is a critical period for brain development and formation of behaviour.
"High levels of TV consumption during this period can lead to future unhealthy habits.
"Although we expected the impact of early TV viewing to disappear after seven-and-a-half years of childhood, the fact that negative outcomes remained is quite daunting."

Pinki becomes national boxing champion
It was Pinki's maiden gold medal at nationals in eight appearances
Guwahati: Pinki Jangra emerged as the new national champion with a dominating victory over N Tonibala Chanu of Arunachal Pradesh while her team Railways bagged the team's title at the senior women's national boxing championship, which concluded on Thursday. Having beaten her biggest challenger for the title, Van Lal Duati in the quarters, the 22-year-old dynamo easily claimed the top podium finish with a 14-point margin win in the fly weight division.
It was Pinki's maiden gold medal at nationals in eight appearances. "The gold medal took a long time coming, I came very close on a few occasions in past and lost it in the end. Now that I have won it, it seems is every bit worth the wait. I am extremely happy with my performance over the last five days and the win has given me a lot of confidence as well. I look forward to the national camp now," she said.
However, the bout of the day came in the middle weight division with Arafura Games silver medallist Pooja Rani of RSPB prevailing 16-7 over 2012 Asian Games bronze medallist Kavita Goyat of Haryana. Both boxers threw in a lot of punches in the first round but it was Goyat, a veteran in the sport, who nosed ahead with a 1-0 lead.
In the second though, Rani came back strongly with some heavy hitting. Goyat still held the lead (5-4) midway through the bout, but seemed to be losing advantage. Beginning of the third round the tables turned in favour of the Railways boxer, she started to dominate the game with her cracking jabs and three punch combination.
A warning for Goyat worked in favour of Rani, by the end of the third round she was leading 11-6 and the writing was on the wall. Railways boxers Pavitra in the feather weight division and Meena Rani in the light welter weight division also clinched the gold beating their respective opponents.
While Pavitra, a 2010 Asian Championship bronze medallist beat Youth World Championship bronze medallist Pwilao Basumatary (20-11), 2011 Arafura Games silver medallist Meena drubbed Suman of the All India Police (21-14). In the light fly weight division, last years bronze medal winner Mamta continued her winning streak defeating Rebecca Lalinmawii 15-9.
The 22 year old put up sterling performance to get the better of the feisty Mizoram boxer. She won on points 15-9. Her exceptional performance in the tournament also gained her the title of the best boxer of the championship. "My strategy was to go slow and pick up pace in the second round, things played out according to my plan and helped me pick up my first senior nationals gold," she said.
2012 World Championship bronze medallist Chahal (+81kg) of the All India Police team, did have to throw a single punch to win her sixth national title. The 27 year old won the gold medal by virtue of walk over.

So you're me and you're in your home office, and your calendar is pinging you again and again about all the blog posts you've committed to write. But you're a writer, and an ace procrastinator. You make delaying the inevitable look as easy as doodling in math class.
If you're me, a cup of tea sounds like a brilliant idea about now. So you set up a nice sequence of distractions for yourself–boil, whistle, steep, stir, sip, repeat–and while your skilled hands are too busy to write, you might as well see what's new on your YouTube feed. Because you're not just any writer – you're a geek writer – your feed is as full of helpfully diverting videos on STEM topics as your Science Gangster mug is full of hot tea.
Jackpot! There's something new from ViHart. It has everything you need in a procrastination aid. An engaging visual component, sophisticated content made accessible by good story, and a bonus feature: Because it's a math demonstration embedded within commentary about math education, it makes you smarter and it probably counts as research for whatever you should be writing.
So you're me and your mug is empty but your brain is full of ViHart's latest poetic treatise on the distinction between memorization and learning. You want to write a post about it immediately, but you're not just a writer, you're a creature of habit. And the cactus on your desk, with its highly evolved pattern of spirals atop spirals, reminds you of another of ViHart's videos. So you watch that one, too, and before you know it you've passed an hour getting intimately acquainted with your houseplants instead of writing. You discover that of all your little green friends, your desk-cactus is the only one shoeing Lucas numbers instead of Fibonacci numbers.
Now you're smarter and even more enthusiastic about STEM education than you were when you started pretending that deadlines don't make you flinch. But you're not just a geek, you're a writer. And it's time to make blogging look as clever as doodling in math class.

setting up a 29G planted newbie
I am currently researching a low-tech planted setup. Looking for a low tech/low light setup. I don't want to mess with co2 injection. Biggest part that has me puzzled is the lighting.
My first plan was to get the marine land LED hood setup for my tank and supplement the lighting with the "hidden" led system from them as well.
Hood: http://www.drsfostersmith.com/produc...3475&subref=AA
Hidden LED system: http://www.drsfostersmith.com/produc...m?pcatid=24833
but I do not believe this will be enough light.
So I started looking at this light : http://www.drsfostersmith.com/produc...m?pcatid=24726
but I'm concerned that will provide to much light and co2 will become necessary.
setup so far: Aquaclear 70, Eco complete, 150w heater
I don't have a problem with dosing ferts every week. but daily dosing is something i want to avoid. tank will be a female Betta sorority/ community tank.
any help would be great!
I'm no expert on either LED's or lighting, but I know a bit, and I think you are right on both fixtures. You could always add some window screen to the second to dim it down a bit if you need to.
Window screen isn't a bad idea. I have tons of sun shade screen that cuts 80% of light out could place it over every 2nd or 3rd led
Sent from my toaster with the 4g's and the wifis
I can confirm that the light in the hood is not enough to grow plants. I have it in the garage collecting dust.
Have you considered just going with a single t5ho?
The first light is not nearly enough and the second light is okay but not great. If you wanted a better light I'd look at Finnex instead of Marineland.
I know of people who have successfully used the Marineland "double-bright" LED systems in planted tanks up to about 60 gals. So it certainly can be effective lighting in a 29 gal.
One thing I am wondering- why do you want the lunar nighttime lighting? If you want the LED, they can provide adequate daytime light.
I also would suggest not getting a hood with a built-in light for a second reason: If you should want to raise the lights higher up from the surface of the water, that is not an option with hoods with built-in lights. I like the separate light fixtures because they give you more options for controlling your lighting. Now, granted, the hood with built-in light that you posted has such a low level of light, it is unlikely you would ever need to raise it to decrease your light intensity, but I am just pointing out one of the disadvantages of that style of light fixture.
Oh, and welcome to TPT! Stick around, read lots on the forums, and before long, you will be answering questions too.
Also, good job on doing your research BEFORE setting up the tank. That's the best way to save money, because you don't buy something, try it, and realize you don't like it. Look around on the forum- there is lots of great information here.
So it's something that I would want to bring to a larger tank. The double bright led system is still an option for me. But I would have the light on a timer and this would completely turn the unit off and make the night mode unusable. So buying 2 of the accent lights to keep in a permanent night function pushes the cost to near the price of the plant capable system and I wouldn't have to buy a timer or have extra cords running from the tank.
Amazon has the reef version of light for under 200 bucks. Hopefully they will get the plant version soon. As it should be even cheaper
Sent from my toaster with the 4g's and the wifis
im using a coralife 30" t5no and its doing okay so far. definitely low light. looks sleek enough to me...
but if i didnt get this t5 i would have gone for the 30" fugeray and hung it from the ceiling.
im considering going with the reef light as it seems to be 40 bucks cheaper then the plant version. anyone use it with good luck on a planted tank? or should i just shell the extra for the plant version?
i figure i can just cut down the hours of the light being on to make up for the amount of light the plants will get.
catalina aquariums ,single t5 bulb.

By Nick Teale
Arsenal beat West Brom twice last season as the Baggies were relegated from the Premier League with 32 points.
Over the summer Albion lost manager Tony Mowbray to Celtic. Roberto Di Matteo replaced him and the Midlands outfit have started the new season in superb fashion and are currently top of the Championship.
They travel to Emirates Stadium on the back of a thumping 5-0 away win against Middlesbrough. Their confidence will be sky high when they arrive on Tuesday evening, and some of Arsenal's finest young talent will be charged with the task of stopping them.
To find out a little more about a rejuvenated West Brom, Arsenal.com spoke to Steve Madeley, West Brom reporter an the Express and Star.
It's eight games unbeaten now - six wins, two draws - the start couldn't have been much better really. They've scored more goals than they had at this stage of their last Championship season and they've certainly conceded a lot fewer, so it's certainly been a good start to the season.
[Roberto Di Matteo] has brought a bit more steel I think, they're not quite as expansive, not quite as exciting to watch as they were under Tony Mowbray, not before Saturday [a 5-0 win over Middlesbrough] anyway! There's a lot more fight in the side as well if they need to grind out results.
Certainly among the fans there was a bit of disappointment when Mowbray left. There was a section of fans actually who wanted him gone, they thought that he'd underestimated the challenge of the Premier League and miscalculated the Premier League and they would have had him gone earlier. But I think the vast majority of fans wanted him to stay and were hugely disappointed when he didn't.
I think they're going to want to win it but there's no secret that it's a very distant second in the list of priorities to the Championship games and they've got a lot of those coming up. They played on Saturday and they've got another one this Saturday and another next Tuesday and one the Saturday after that. So while they'll want to win the Carling Cup game, you can expect a fair few changes to the team. Di Matteo certainly changed virtually the entire team in the previous two rounds. I think injuries might prevent him making quite so many changes this time round but I would still expect a fair few.
The player who immediately springs to mind is Robert Koren, the captain of Slovenia who was one of the stars of the previous Championship promotion. He didn't start on Saturday. When they play 4-4-2 he seems to be the odd man out at the moment with Graham Dorrans and Youssouf Mulumbu playing centre midfield. But there's no doubt Koren is one of their best attacking players and I would expect him to get a game against Arsenal.
I think [they'll be hopeful of knocking Arsenal out]. They're on a massive role at the moment and I think they will believe the team they play will be stronger relative to the first team than Arsenal's will be. It will be Albion's first-team fringe players as opposed to Arsenal's more senior youth players and out-and-out youth-team players as I presume it will be. They won't think of themselves as favourites but they will think if they play well they'll have a chance against a weakened Arsenal team.

Plucked fresh from Mel Kiper's Grade A mock draft, here are three-rounds of picks for each team of the AFC South, a snippet of his analysis from the Insider file and my reflections.
Rd 1 (26) OT Bobby Massie, Ole Miss
Rd 2 (58) WR Alshon Jeffery, South Carolina
Rd 3 (76) LB Bobby Wagner, Utah St.
Some of Kiper's analysis: One of the quiet stories of the offseason is the work Houston will have to do on the offensive line to keep its very efficient run game rolling. Massie is a guy moving up my board, and if I'm Houston I know where my bread is buttered and make sure things up front are in good shape. As a caveat, I'll say I'm really tempted here by Coby Fleener, the tight end out of Stanford. Houston lost a good one this offseason in Joel Dreessen.
Kuharsky: John McClain of the Houston Chronicle is also steering away from a first-round wide receiver, mentioning Kevin Zeitler, Cordy Glenn and Massie. It makes sense. The depth at right guard and right tackle after the departure of Mike Brisiel and the release of Eric Winston should be a major concern. Wagner is intended to replace the traded DeMeco Ryans. I think between Daryl Sharpton, Bradie James and Tim Dobbins, the replacement is on the roster.
Rd 1 (1) QB Andrew Luck, Stanford
Rd 2 (34) DT Jerel Worthy, Michigan St.
Rd 3 (64) WR Ryan Broyles, Oklahoma
Some of Kiper's analysis: Worthy runs a little hot and cold, but when he's on the warm side of that equation, he is a first-round talent at defensive tackle the Colts can say they got in Round 2. Roll the film when he's up against Notre Dame, Michigan or Georgia last year and see how hard it is for even some really good offensive linemen to keep him in place. The Colts have to stop the run, and it starts inside.
Kuharsky: That second pick carries a ton of intrigue, and the Colts can go any number of directions based on what's happened in the draft's first 33 picks. Ryan Grigson just talked of being OK at nosetackle with Brandon McKinney and Antonio Johnson. So that about ensures a defensive tackle like Worthy, right?
Rd 1 (7) DE Melvin Ingram, South Carolina (or trade down)
Rd 2 (38) WR Stephen Hill, Georgia Tech
Rd 3 (70) CB Josh Norman, Coastal Carolina
Some of Kiper's analysis: The Jags need pass-rush help so bad, even if Justin Blackmon were somehow still there at No. 7, I'm not sure they pull the trigger. Ingram, if he can do anything, can rush the passer. The guy is wonderfully versatile, and even with his short arms he disengages really well and falls back on an arsenal of moves. This is not an elite class of pass-rushers, in my opinion, but the Jags can say they got the one who grades out best as of draft day. You can do worse at No. 7.
Kuharsky: Tania Ganguli of the Florida Times-Union reports the Jaguars appear to like Hill, and that he could be in play if they trade out of No. 7. If that's the case, they'd be thrilled to still get him in the second round. Kiper says he needs a lot of refinement. Jacksonville sure could use an immediate impact guy for Blaine Gabbert, and maybe his speed and size can affect coverages and produce plays even as he learns.
Rd 1 (20) CB Dre Kirkpatrick, Alabama
Rd 2 (52) DE Vinny Curry, Marshall
Rd 3 (82) C Ben Jones, Georgia
Some of Kiper's analysis: Knocking out the needs here, with good value at each spot. Kirkpatrick is ready to start. The star out of Alabama has uncommon length at near 6-3 and plays with an edge. He'll come in willing to take on top receivers. After some misses in recent drafts, the Titans need to keep going back to the pass rush.
Kuharsky: The Titans could take a cornerback at No. 20, but I don't think it will be because they don't think they have starting caliber people as they are. It'll be more about value. I like end and center picks. If the Titans have Kamerion Wimbley, Derrick Morgan, Dave Ball and Curry as their top four ends, that's not bad. And Jones should be able to knock Eugene Amano from the lineup.

Cereal Box Killers Are On The Loose
The contrast speaks as loudly as Tony the Tiger's roar. In the last month, the Kellogg Co.--the nation's largest cereal maker--has announced it's considering a big layoff at its headquarters in Battle Creek, Mich., and the chiefs of both its North American and European divisions have quit. Earnings have missed their target in each of the last two quarters, and the stock, at 34, is down more than 30% this year.
Meanwhile, at the Quaker Oats Co.--a relatively small fourth player in the industry--cereal volumes have increased every quarter for the past two years. Market share is up two percentage points in the last two years, and the stock is trading near its all-time high.
So what's Quaker's secret? It's in the bag--the cereal bag, that is. For the past three years, Quaker has been rolling out a line of bagged cereals that are cheaper versions of its rivals' national brands. By skimping on packaging and marketing costs, Quaker can sell bagged products for about $1 less than boxed counterparts. And Quaker is not alone. Malt-O-Meal Inc., a smaller Minnesota company that has long produced boxed knockoffs of the national brands, also now offers its cereal in bags. Since 1995, bagged cereals have skyrocketed from virtually nothing to account for 8% of all cereal packages sold. "The taste is similar, and it's probably a dollar or two less," said Jim Buchner while buying a bag of Malt-O-Meal's Golden Puffs at a store in Overland Park, Kan.
Bags are just the latest sign that the ready-to-eat cereal industry is going through wrenching changes. Over the past decade, industry leaders, particularly No.2 General Mills Inc., have jacked up the cost of a box of branded cereal to as much as $5. But while prices have gone up, demand has gone down, as hectic lifestyles have Americans looking for breakfast to eat on the run. "A Pop-Tart or a bagel or a muffin is a lot easier to eat while you're driving a car than a bowl of cereal," says Merrill Lynch & Co. analyst Eric Katzman. The result: U.S. cold-cereal sales fell by 15% in real terms, or more than $1 billion, between 1994 and '97.
Almost the only players to make any headway against those forces are the ones that have offered consumers a lower-priced alternative. Malt-O-Meal's market share has more than doubled, to 4%, in the past five years. Quaker's share of cereal sold in the U.S.--including its boxed brands, such as Life--is 10.1%, up from 8% two years ago, says Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette Inc. analyst William Leach.
Whether they're in a bag or a box, the cheapo cereals show just how tired consumers are of paying ever higher prices for a relatively unexciting product. The knockoffs--with comically ripped-off names like Rice Crisps and Frosted Flakers--are stealing market share despite some major disadvantages. Not everybody agrees with Kansan Buchner about the taste. Kids sometimes complain that they don't have a box with games or cartoon characters. And the zipper-like bags can be difficult to close or store. The growth of these low-end products shows how out of step cereal giants have been with shoppers' preferences. In fact, few consumer products have suffered more in recent years than ready-to-eat cereals.
For Quaker, bags are to some degree an admission of defeat. Referring to the industry's habit of pushing expensive cereals backed by costly ad blitzes, Quaker CEO Robert S. Morrison told an industry conference earlier this year: "The days of `high price, high spend' in the cereal category are perhaps over." That's bad news for the big marketers. Margins on bagged cereals are thin as a corn flake, about 3% to 5%, vs. 15% for branded, boxed products.
PAINFUL SLIDE. Still, what it has lost in margins, Quaker has more than made up in volume. Brisk sales of its bagged products helped push its second-quarter operating income from ongoing businesses up 14%, to $199 million. During the same quarter, Kellogg's profits fell by 17%, to $143 million.
The inventor of "Snap, Crackle, Pop" has a new plan to fight back, but unlike Quaker, it's not willing to dent margins by adding a cheaper cereal line. In June, 44-year-old Carlos M. Gutierrez, a 23-year Kellogg veteran who had headed up global business development, vaulted over execs at bigger units to become president--and the leading candidate to replace Arnold G. Langbo as CEO. Kellogg plans to cut $100 million in annual costs, probably through layoffs, and use the savings to boost ad and promotion spending. It recently invited five ad agencies to submit new marketing ideas. Kellogg executives declined to comment on their plans.
Kellogg's painful market-share loss, from 38% to 32% since 1994, has left industry-watchers skeptical it can persuade more consumers to pony up for stagnant brands like Fruit Loops and Corn Flakes. Since 1995, Rice Krispies has lost more than a third of its market share and Apple Jacks about one-sixth.
To make its marketing blitz pay, Kellogg hopes to come up with some blockbuster products. Kraft Foods Inc.'s Post unit--the No.3 cereal maker--is the only one of the Big Three to show a sales gain over the past year, according to Information Resources Inc. Post got a boost from new products like Oreo O's, launched this summer with a bigger-than-normal $40 million campaign.
The pressure on the big marketers is not likely to let up soon. Private-label cereals, which right now come mostly in boxes, have grown almost as fast as the bagged versions in the last five years, but still have room to grow. Altogether, generic products are responsible for less than 12% of the cereal segment--compared with about 20% of the cracker, cookie, and nuts category.
Indeed, generic powerhouse Ralcorp Holdings Inc., which now holds a 55% share of the private-label boxed category, may try to muscle in on the bag market. Said Ralcorp CEO Joe R. Micheletto, speaking to a group of analysts in June: "We are seeing more and more retailers asking for store-brand bags." That could soon mean even more no-name rivals for Tony the Tiger.

Integris' Board of Directors consists of twelve (12) members who help govern the operations of the credit union. Elected directors represent each of Integris' five communities and govern on the board for a three year term before a new election occurs.
Governance of Integris Credit Union is accomplished through numerous established committees that directors are part of to ensure the well-being of Integris staff, members and communities.
These committees include: Executive Committee, Conduct Review Committee, Investment and Lending Committee, Audit Committee, Corporate Governance, Nominating Committee, Co-operative Development, CEO Succession Committee.
Board Members
Dave Barry (Board Chair)
Dave Barry
My wife Colleen and I have been part of northern B.C. since 1989. We've raised two wonderful children in Prince George, developing strong roots in the region. My broadcasting career at CKPG Radio & TV has taken me into all areas within the Integris footprint. I've come to learn the different qualities and concerns of individual communities from Fort St. James to Clinton. In 1999 I left broadcasting to work as a civil servant in the provincial government and then with the McGregor Model Forest Association. Over those five years, I developed new communication and marketing skills. I believe these skills are unique to our board.
During my first term as a Director, Integris Credit Union continued to develop its reputation as a leading financial and insurance institution in our region. We've been recognized as one of British Columbia's best employers. We've returned our profits to you through dividends and to deserving community events and organizations through sponsorships and donations. Over the next three years, I believe B.C.'s northern interior is poised for growth. With your support, I'll do my best to ensure Integris nurtures the economic and social growth of our region. Like you, I want Integris to continue to make a positive difference in our communities.

I have resided in Prince George since 1982 and my primary employment is with the BC Ambulance Service in the capacity of Human Resources Manager for Northern BC.

I own a home-based business and teach Ballroom Dance, do Wedding Choreography for the Bride and Groom, and volunteer to teach group line dance to seniors.
I have been privileged to serve as a Director on the Credit Union Board since 1996, and have been involved in many capacities with various committees during that time. I bring the strength of my Human Resource background and volunteer experiences to the table. I enjoy working on behalf of the Membership of Integris Credit Union, contributing to a growing organization, and the credit union system as a whole. I continue to be eager and enthusiastic about representing you, the membership, as a Director – and with your support, look forward to continued involvement in shaping the future of our Credit Union.

Jillian Merrick
Finance is a fundamental part of personal and community health, and I am keen to explore the role of the financial services sector in community capacity-building. What better place to gain experience than in a community-driven cooperative institution like lntegris?
I was born and raised in Halfmoon Bay, BC and moved to Prince George in 2002 to attend UNBC. I graduated in 2007 with a BA in Economics and International Studies. Along the way, I was honoured to serve as Student Union President. After graduation, I found my calling in non-profit management, serving as an employee with organizations such as FORREX, the Fraser Basin Council, and Community Futures Fraser Fort George and a volunteer director with the Prince George Cycling Club and REAPS.
For the past five years, I have dedicated my professional career to assisting small farms in northern BC with business development strategies. Under my independent consulting company, Jillenium Consulting, I provide strategic business coaching to a wide variety of clients; including those in the provincial Entrepreneurs with Disabilities Program, as well as research and coordination of community economic development strategies.
Most recently, I was the youngest member ever elected to Prince George City Council. This role has been an incredible opportunity to deepen my commitment to community and rapidly gain a wide array of experiences.
Noella Herod
My name is Noella Herod I live and work in Vanderhoof. I am presently employed at Canfor – Plateau and I have been working there for 35 years in the Accounting field. I am letting my name stand for a 3rd term as a Director on the Board for Integris Credit Union. In my second term (6 years) as a Director I have been elected as Chair of the Audit Committee and I have also sat as a member on the Executive Committee. I have completed all required CUDA Courses and additional online courses to help me govern and understand the position I have been elected to represent by our members. I am also the Board representative to the Integris Community Foundation. Prior to Integris I was a Director for Nechako Valley Credit Union for 15 years. I am involved in non-profit community organizations, charities, and member of the CNC Advisory Board. This experience provides the insight and knowledge in understanding and communicating the needs and interest of the communities under the Integris umbrella.
Norm Schmitz
Norm Schmitz left Montreal and moved out west to Prince George in 1967 and hasn't left since. Norm received his CGA designation in 1976 and has operated a public accounting firm, specializing in tax services for small to medium sized enterprises in and around Prince George for almost 40 years.

He also sat on the board for the local YMCA for over a decade earning several awards and much recognition. Norm also received the City of PG Community Service Award in 2011 for outstanding volunteer contributions towards the development of the Prince George Community.

Jennifer Wilczek
My name is Jennifer Wilczek, and I was born in Prince George, graduating from Duchess Park Secondary School in the French Immersion Program in 2000. I began my post-secondary education at UNBC, and then transferred to UBC in 2002. I graduated in 2004 with a degree in Medical Laboratory Science. I continued my
I have been a long standing member of Integris Credit Union. My parents opened my first credit union account when I was in elementary school. Growing up I challenged myself to obtain Honour Roll and Principal's List, so I could receive the benefit of the Credit Union Honour Roll Program and begin saving money for university, for which I am very thankful. My studies took me to the United States, and with the help of a US dollar account and internet banking I was able to keep Integris as my primary financial institution.
As a working professional in the community, I am beginning to learn of the other programs the credit union offers and am learning how to make my money work for me. I look forward to serving the community and being a part of the Credit Union team.
Robin Fennell
I believe in Credit Unions and the cooperative movement. In particular I like the way that the Credit Union is involved in the communities and its members.
Henk Hanemaayer
My name is Harmen (Henk) Hanemaayer. My wife and I have resided in the Clinton area for the last 50 years. Presently I am semi-retired, although still active in the business world. My wife, Willemina, and I have successfully raised three children in this area and are proud to be identified as residents of the Cariboo/Northern BC.
Over the years I have operated a service station/ restaurant business as well as having owned and operated a residential home and school for the Special Needs population in BC. I then became active in the education system as a substitute teacher and full-time shop teacher.
I have always held to the principle that you are never too old to learn new things, so in my 50's I took up the profession of realtor and was quite successful at it. I retired from this profession about 8 years ago, in order to concentrate on authoring and publishing material of my interest. Presently I am an 'ePub' publisher, and have published several works in this format.
During the past 20 years I have served as a director on the board for the Living Waters Christian Fellowship in Clinton. I am convinced that the affirmative answer to the age-old question 'Am I my brother's keeper' is still very much valid for today, and that the cooperative principle under which lntegris operates does serve this principle very much, as it supports the community as a bank for the people, by the people.
Keith Brain
Keith has been a credit union member since 1973. He moved to Prince George in 1976 and joined Prince George & District Credit Union. He and Carol, his wife of 32 years, raised their two children (now adults) here in Prince George. Until his retirement on July 31, 2009, Keith was the Manager of Human Resources at a local sawmill, a position he held for 26 years. He was elected to the Board of Directors of Prince George & District in 1982 and has served as a Director continuously since then, including nine years as Board Chair. He served for six years on the Board of Credit Union Central of BC. He has seen many changes over the years including the friendly merger of Prince George & District with ChemPulp Credit Union in 1989 and now the amalgamation of three credit unions into one – Integris – in June 2004. This was the realization of a dream.
Mark Churchill
I have lived in Vanderhoof for 46 years, and I have been married for 32 years. My wife and I have two sons and two granddaughters. Growing up in Vanderhoof I worked at the local Co-op until I graduated from Nechako Valley Senior Secondary.

I installed that Perrin Lightened Crank Pulley on my '08 WRX and couldn't get the A/C belt back on. I called the parts department at my dealership and they said that 2008 was the first year that Subaru removed the tensionor from the A/C belt. Instead, now they use a 1 time use belt that has to be cut in order to be removed. And you have to buy a new belt and use a special Subaru tool to install it.
Any ideas about how I can install my old belt?
I've noticed that the tensionor mounts are still on the engine block, any way I can get a 2007 (or any EJ25) A/C tensionor set and mount it on my engine?
My alternator belt is doing the excact same thing, the problem for me is that the tensioner bolt is missing completely. I can probably blame the commonwealth of PA for making me take my car to some dunce mechanic every year for a state inspection.
I bought a belt from my local subaru dealer for $16. It measures 35" around the outside and there is no way its fitting on my car (03 WRX). I was able to get it around all the pulleys by completely unbolting the alternator, but there was now way I could have bolted the alternator back up with the belt in place.
Does anyone know the thread for the tensioner bolt? Or will I be best off taking the other bolt off the car and measuring the thread?
Thanks again for the post.
My 2008 a/c belt has shredded one of the ribs. There is no way to adjust the belt.
What does the special tool look like?
I never changed the belt . It is still on there @ 81k.
I don't know what the tool looks like.
I would try putting it like a bike chain and "roll" the pulleys over to do it.
What about getting the belt warmer than the car engine to help the stretch factor.
If not have the dealer put it on.
Good Luck.

I did what Reuti Fan did (went to Facebook page) even though I don't do Facebook - and there was an update from Reuti saying the 83 is hoping to be down in 'Tona for today and Saturday.I saw that the #83 wasn't practiced on Thursday? It was announced 35 cars were going to be on track but BK never went out I guess?
I'm nervous and excited at the same time - as we all anticipate an announcement soon - he's got a ride / he hasn't got a ride.
Hoping could be over - might have to start praying. The season, in a way, is kind of starting...

Second graders at Hodgenville Elementary School were in awe of a giant elephant ear leaf plant brought in by their teacher, Ashley Clifford. Clifford's father, Jim Phelps of Hodgenville, grew the plant in his greenhouse. He had to cut the plant because it was taking over. The elephant ear also visited Susan Phelps' class at Hodgenville United Methodist Church (Kingdom Kids) and Mrs. Ray's class at HES. There was a new plant starting in the stem of this ear.
Emily Gibson of Hodgenville has earned a MS in History and Sociology of Technology and Science from the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta.
Gibson was among about 850 undergraduate and graduate students who received degrees during Georgia Tech's 243rd commencement exercises.

Witches' Night of Fear by Silver RavenWolf
No current Talk conversations about this book.
This is a cute book geared for the young adult audience. I love pagan fiction, especially when it is written so well and fairly realistically. Unlike movies, this book deals with the craft in an approachable, positive and realistic way. While I didn't find this series on my level, it is perfect for the teen audience.

Issue Position: Immigration
Our immigration system is broken. We have some 12 million immigrants in our country illegally, with more arriving each day. During the summer of 2007, the Senate once again focused its attention on comprehensive immigration reform. Unfortunately, at that time the Senate was not able to pass legislation to reform our immigration system. I supported the comprehensive immigration legislation that came before the Senate because I believed it was tough on our borders, fair to our taxpayers and practical to enforce.
Tough on Our Borders First, we must secure our borders. Border patrol personnel need to be better trained and provided the resources to succeed. We also need to improve our technological capabilities to better use unmanned aircraft as well as sophisticated land-based surveillance systems that are effective 24 hours a day, 365 days a year to deter and catch immigrants crossing into U.S. territory.
I support the construction of a combination of fences and walls along significant portions of the U.S.-Mexico border. In the past, I've supported legislation to authorize, fund and build hundreds of miles of fences or walls along our southern border where the Department of Homeland Security believes barriers of that nature would be cost-effective.
Fair to Legal Citizens Another major problem that we must address is the lack of enforcement of our nation's laws against employers who knowingly hire illegal immigrants. We must make sure employers have the resources to determine whether they are hiring ineligible workers and ensure that those employers who knowingly hire ineligible immigrant workers are prosecuted. One of the best ways to deter illegal immigration is to make sure employers know that if they hire illegal workers, they will get caught and they will pay a severe price. Another excellent way to impede illegal border-crossings is to develop and distribute, as appropriate, tamper-proof IDs incorporating bio-metrics and other similar technologies.
Practical to Enforce We need a sensible, practical solution that allows these 12 million to come forward without granting them amnesty. Amnesty is not the answer. It wasn't the answer in 1986 when President Ronald Reagan and the Congress offered amnesty, and it is not the answer now. Amnesty sends the wrong message to those people who have waited patiently for years to come into the United States legally. It says to them "You are foolish for playing by the rules." Amnesty, I fear, would only encourage further illegal border-crossings.
Fair to Taxpayers In addition to significantly improving border security and work-site enforcement, we must also be realistic about addressing the 12 million illegal immigrants who are in the United States today. I can understand the views of many back in Delaware and across the country who suggest that we simply deport people who are here in an undocumented status. Scarce funds and space at many publicly-funded hospitals and schools in Delaware and other states are badly stretched to accommodate men, women and children in the country illegally. However, I don't know how realistic it would be to deport 12 million people to their native lands in a timely fashion. Such an effort may actually have the unintended consequence of driving them deeper into the shadows and make a workable solution even harder to eventually implement.
Although Congress was not able to pass legislation that would reform our immigration system, I firmly believe that we should continue to work to secure our borders and aggressively enforce our laws against employers who knowingly hire illegal workers. The faster we act, the sooner we will be able to deter future unlawful entry into our country, while ensuring that a bad situation does not grow any worse. For this reason, I have supported legislation that would reduce illegal immigration by increasing border and interior enforcement and providing employers with tools to verify work eligibility.
This legislation, the Securing America with Verification and Enforcement Act (SAVE Act), would increase border patrol agents by 8,000; employ satellite and aerial surveillance of our border; expand and mandate the use of a free and effective program (E-Verify) that allows employers to verify that the individuals they hire are legally allowed to work in the United States. Additionally, the SAVE Act expands detention capacity and increases the number of federal district court judges.
In my view, the worst thing we can do to address the immigration crisis in our country is to do nothing. I hope that in the near future, Congress and the President can take another look at comprehensive immigration reform that is tough on our borders, fair to our taxpayers, and practical to enforce. In the meantime, I will continue to work with my colleagues to secure our borders and aggressively enforce our laws against employers who knowingly hire illegal workers.

I am tight on money and odnt get paid until the 9th. Would it serve me to get a higher stall converter (2400?-3000?) as well as a smaller cfm carburator. I think I might be able to afford those two items (I need a seat too!) to get her going.
Because of a lack of funds would I be able to install smaller Jets ($7 vs. $200) and get the higher stall converter.
would someone think that the cam would be okay with one of these set ups? (i know it'd be better to know the lift and duration)
Then Later down the road I'll get 3.73-4.11 rear gears.
I just need to get this thing out of storage (220 per month!) and on the Road for the smallest amount of money. But It needs to be a cost effective route so I dont end up paying more than I need to in the end.
Im hoping These are the last few steps to my seven month marathon with this el camino. The wiring is mostly complete, The brakes are redone, the steering is redone, The rust is gone (OH the RUST), the tires are great, the chrome is complete (all there), the windows are in great condition, the paint is stripped, the body is clean, Im currently painting with black epoxy, the Dash is re-painted and "set up custom" to my liking, the carpet kit is about to go in, the doors and hood are going back on, and Im outta there in two weeks. This is the plan anyway. Thanks
