Associated Press
FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) - The Kentucky Senate approved a proposed ballot measure on Wednesday that would switch elections for Kentucky governor and other statewide constitutional officers to even-numbered years, every four.
Republican Sen. Christian McDaniel said the goal is to raise voter turnout and reduce election-related costs by consolidating more elections.
"For all of us who want to see more people involved in our democracy in choosing our leadership and setting the direction for this commonwealth, this is a common-sense measure," he said.
The proposed constitutional amendment cleared the GOP-run Senate on a 25-12 vote. The proposed constitutional change was opposed by a number of Senate Democrats.
Sen. Ray Jones II, D-Pikeville, said Republicans want the change to improve their chances of winning constitutional offices. Democrats now hold all but one of the posts.
"It's about moving the governor's race and the other constitutional officers' elections to a presidential election cycle to benefit Republicans," Jones said. "It's not a secret that Republicans tend to perform very well in Kentucky presidential elections."
The measure now goes to the Democratic-led House.
Currently, Kentucky's elections for governor, lieutenant governor and the other constitutional offices - attorney general, secretary of state, auditor, treasurer and agriculture commissioner - are held in odd-numbered years. The next election for those is set for 2015.
The proposed ballot measure would shift those elections to even-numbered years every four, beginning in 2016, which is a presidential election year.
The measure, if it reaches the ballot and is approved by voters, would mean that the current constitutional officeholders would serve an extra year.
Jones said that by overlapping with the presidential elections, the races for state constitutional offices would be influenced by "untold millions" of special-interest money coming from outside Kentucky.
McDaniel said that switching the statewide constitutional elections to even-numbered years would boost voter participation in choosing the governor and other top leaders.
In 2012, a presidential-election year, voter turnout in Kentucky was 59 percent, he said. In 2011, turnout was 28 percent for the election of constitutional officers, he said.
Consolidating more elections would save the state $3.5 million next year and would save counties $13.1 million, McDaniel said.
Kentucky is among five states that choose governors and other statewide officials in odd-numbered years, said Senate Majority Leader Damon Thayer, who supported the bill.
The legislation is Senate Bill 27.

THE Planning Minister, Tony Kelly, has given the strongest sign yet that the state government would ban the use of a group of chemicals in the controversial technique known as fracking to extract coal seam gas.
Mr Kelly yesterday published a scoping paper on the coal and gas industry to provide an overview of the main problems facing the coalmining regions of the Hunter, Gunnedah and the western and southern coalfields.
The chemicals benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and xylene - collectively referred to as BTEX - are sometimes used in the fracking, or hydraulic fracturing, process for extracting coal seam gas.
Mr Kelly said the government was ''inclined'' to ban the mining practice of BTEX fracking, which the Queensland government banned last year, but he wanted community input before taking the matter to cabinet.
''We are probably of a mind to do the same [as Queensland],'' Mr Kelly said.
The terms of reference for the paper, which was first promised as a strategic plan for the coal industry before Christmas, were expanded to include gas in order to consider fracking, Mr Kelly said.
The paper will be on public exhibition until April 15, more than two weeks after the state election. A stakeholder reference group will be set up and public meetings held.
Mr Kelly said the decision to develop a coal and gas strategy came from a surge in demand for Australian minerals and the past impact of mining on other primary industries such as farming and horse breeding.
''They should be able to coexist,'' Mr Kelly said.
The NSW Minerals Council chief executive, Nikki Williams, said the paper was ''welcome if long overdue''.
"We need a land use planning road map so we can all move forward together,'' Dr Williams said. ''Ultimately it's up to our political leaders to get the balance right.''
The vice president of the NSW Farmers Association, Fiona Simson, said the scoping paper was ''too little, too late'' and was designed to assist the coal industry, not other industries.
The Greens MP Cate Faehrmann welcomed the strategy but questioned why it could not be matched with a moratorium on the coal seam gas industry, which she said had been ''proven to be dangerous for water supplies and productive farmlands''.

QUESTION: How do you determine the best grocery store to shop?
ANSWER: One of the most important things I consider when picking a grocery store is its coupon policy.
While there are many other factors to consider, a store's coupon policy can make a difference in the amount of money you are able to save.
Coupon policies can be detailed and include a great deal of information. They can be confusing to decode, so the best thing to do is ask specific questions to determine what is allowed and what is not.
By knowing the policy, you can plan shopping trips and be sure you are using coupons to the best of your advantage.
If you are unsure about what questions to ask, here are a few sample questions.
You can always meet with a customer-service representative in the store or via telephone.
Keep in mind there may be regional variations or even differences from store to store within the same chain.
• What is your store's specific coupon policy?
• Where is this policy located for customers to view and print if needed?
• Does your store double or triple coupons?
• Is there a limit on the number of total coupons that you will double or triple?
• Do you limit the number of duplicate coupons you double?
• What day does your circular come out, and where can I find it?
• If the circular is available in the store, what day can I get a copy?
• What day of the week does the new sale cycle start?
• What is your store's buy-one-get-one-free policy?
• Do you accept competitors' coupons? If so, what stores does that include?
• Is there a limit on the number of competitors' coupons that can be redeemed per transaction?
• Do you accept manufacturer's coupons that have another store's logo printed on them?
• Will you substitute your house brand for a competitor's house brand?
• Do you match sale prices? If so, what are the guidelines?
• Is there a limit on how many coupons you can use per transaction?
• Is there a limit on how many sale items can be purchased per transaction?
• Special sales such as 10/$10: Do I have to purchase 10 to get the $1-per-item price, or can I just purchase one?
Make yourself familiar with the answers to these questions and you will be able to shop with more knowledge. This will save you money.

England Lancashire Lancashire Parishes
Chapel History
Preston St Paul, St Paul's Square was created a district chapel by 1823 from Preston St John, Lancashire Ancient Parish.
The first stone of St. Paul's Church was laid on Tuesday, 21st October, 1823. It was one of two churches ( the other Preston St Peter, Lancashire) funded by money secured from parliament by the Bishop of Chester. Originally intended to build St Peter, petitioned by the Vicar of preston who saw the need for two parishes. The land forming the site of St. Paul's was given by Samuel Pole Shawe, Esq. The full cost of the building was about 6,500 pounds.
The church closed in the 1990's.
St. Paul's is a handsome structure, in the later English style, with four turrets; it was erected in 1825, and lay within the civil parish boundaries of St John Preston.[1]

You know him, you love him, you wish he'd retire so you could have a shot at his job. SolidWorks' own Richard Doyle is my latest interview victim.
For the one or two of you who don't know who Richard is, allow me to enlighten you. Richard's official title is User Community Manager. I hardly think that does him justice, though. In my day 2 of SWW '11 post, I described him as a Knight of SolidWorks and suggested people refer to him as Sir Richard. I think I was wrong, though. He's more of a SolidWorks evangelist. Padre Richard perhaps? Reverend Richard? No matter, just know that when you meet him you're meeting someone pretty special to SolidWorks users around the world. How did Richard end up with the most kick-ass job ever? That's what I'm going to tell you.
Travel with me back to 1978 and the town of Santa Rosa, California. It was here that Richard's illustrious career began as a drafter. Surprisingly, or maybe not so surprisingly, he got his start by bucking the system. When asked, as part of the interview process, to draw three views of an object and show examples of his best hand lettering, all on an 8×11 clipboard, Richard wrote a note on the paper offering to bring in examples of his work, as balancing the clipboard on his knee was not working out. This boldness not only impressed the hiring manager, but, coupled with his examples, got him the job as well.
After cutting his teeth there for a few years, Richard packed up and moved to Montana, joining up with a firm that did contract work for telephone companies. He'd spend the next five years in exotic locales like Arizona, Wyoming and Colorado. It wasn't until 1985, while now working for IBM, that Richard got a taste of CAD in a system IBM used called CADAM. Two years later, the Navy wanted IBM to document underground utilities for them and, because of his previous experience in utilities, Richard was put in charge of the project. One minor glitch, though; the Navy wanted them to use AutoCAD, something that no one had experience with. Not to worry, Richard simply got a hold of a demo copy, then locked himself in a room for two days to learn it. A couple of demo drawings later and they had the Navy contract.
Richard would spend the next 10 years practicing the ancient art of 2D drafting, ending up at DTM Corporation in Austin, Texas. It was at DTM, in 1997, that Richard was forced into 3D CAD. That's right, he was one of "those" guys. One of those "we don't need no stinkin' 3D" guys. DTM went through the usual investigating before choosing SolidWorks. An hour into the first training class and Richard jumped out of his chair and said, "Wow, this stuff is really cool!" The rest, as they say, is history. Having had a few opportunities to hear Richard speak over the past 5 years, I can almost hear him exclaiming that phrase.
So began Richard's ascension unto SolidWorks Community Manager. He fell in love with SolidWorks and began to learn all that he could, and still does to this day. As proof of my assertion that he's a SolidWorks evangelist, Richard started the first user group in Texas, CTSUG, in Austin. It was at one of the group's meetings that he planted the seed that led to his current position. He mentioned to SolidWorks that if they had a point person within the organization, "amazing things could happen." They believed him and, after several months of negotiations, offered him the position of User Community Coordinator. As one might imagine, it didn't take him long to accept.
He spends his days working with customers and SWUGN committee members creating new groups, supporting existing groups and providing user group leaders with the tools needed to be successful. He plans and executes, with local leaders, the SWUGN Summit events and, including those summits, attends about 30 user group meetings a year. He's been to 55 of the 203 worldwide user groups. He has it on his Bucket List to attend every user group at least once. He also moderates the SolidWorks Forums, works on new presentations, whitepapers and videos and helps out with the planning of each year's SolidWorks World. Specifically, he's on the committee that reviews and schedules technical sessions. You'll also see him up on the main stage talking about the importance of user groups and presenting awards. He also finds the time to write the SolidWorks Community Blog.
One of my favorite stories involving Richard took place at SolidWorks World 2000 in New Orleans. I'll let him tell it:
"At SolidWorks World 2000 (New Orleans), there were two nice ladies set up taking surveys from the attendees. I sat down to take the survey (and receive my free SolidWorks coffee mug). One of the ladies started asking me questions…company name, address, etc. She asked next for my SolidWorks serial number. As the lady sitting next to her leaned over and said "We don't need that", I rattled off the 16 digit number. The second lady looked me right in the eye and deadpanned "What a Geek". I laughed until I cried, and I still chuckle every time I get to tell the story."
When all is said and done, Richard is one of SolidWorks' shining stars. Beyond that, he's the kind of employee that any company would wish for. The kind of employee who loves his job because of the job, not the money. He's like a kid playing baseball, there for the fun and not the glory. I consider it an honor to count him among my friends, though I wouldn't hesitate to to steal his job from him. Just kidding, Richard…mostly.

Zimmerman Trial: Day Two
Published June 11th, 2013
Loading Video...
Sanford, Fla. -- Day two of jury selection in the george zimmerman trial has ended.
Potential jurors questioned today varied in age, race, and opinion of exactly what happened to Trayvon Martin.
For potential jurors in day two of the trial, a similar set of questions from the defense and the prosecution.
In these pretrial individual hearings, those summoned must recall their knowledge of the case over the past year.
Potential juror B55 was one questioned today.
A young asian women - the youngest questioned so far - was a student who said her limited knowledge of the case came from Facebook.
Potential juror B56 was a middle-aged white woman who works at a local school.
She said most of her knowledge was from recent media coverage, which she thought was blown out of proportion.
Potential juror B35, the second of the day, seemed to know a considerable amount about the case, but said it wouldn't affect his opinion.
"I'm kind of in the middle, I don't know if he's innocent or guilty," he said, "I don't know, I see things on tv and I hear people talk but I really don't know."
All the while Zimmerman sat watching, seemingly more relaxed at times today, settling in for what will be a long process.
One juror identified as B2 went straight to the bench and was not questioned for what some reporters in the court room said was a personal issue the judge did not want made public.
The Associated Press is reporting so far 40 people have been dismissed from their initial survey results.

Lean Plate Club
Washington Post columnist despenses wisdom in this 8-week plan.Top Rated Diets of 2017
Please note, this is not a diet. It's a club that promotes healthy habits. that means making healthy choices and being more active. The Lean Plate Club does not have a dedicated meeting location or secret handshake, and there's no membership fee. It's a virtual environment created by Washington Post Health and Nutrition Columnist Sally Squires.
Each Tuesday, Sally Squires prints a new Lean Plate Club column in the Post, which is also syndicated in papers across the country. She also has a weekly radio program that you can listen to over the Web. If you want to catch up, WashingtonPost.com has a complete library of all previous articles. In 2006, the Secrets of the Lean Plate Club was published. It is a great companion to any member of the Lean Plate Club as it elaborates on important topics, such as:
- Rediscovering the joy of eating well
- Avoiding nutritional mischief and exercise boredom
- Learning to recover from "the slips" so that they don't become slides into failure
- Making any diet from Atkins to The Zone work better for you
- Tips to create healthier habits, smarter grocery shopping, and great-tasting recipes.
Lean Plate Club promotes itself as an eight-week program where you'll learn smarter, healthier habits. However, the program extends far beyond two months, as you can follow this as long as you like.
Do You Know the Best Diets of 2017?
- Permits all foods, just in moderation
- It's free
- Endorsed by the Washington Post; new columns each Tuesday
- Success not determined by weight, but inches around waist
- References the USDA's Food Guide Pyramid
- A lot of counting, measuring and tracking everything you eat and do
- Less guidance that most diets
- Have to do a lot of homework yourself
Eating healthy doesn't have to be restrictive or even force you to stop eating foods you love. It's about making smarter choices- grilled not fried, popcorn not chips, juice not pop. Most importantly for the Lean Plate Club, incorporate more fruits and veggies, whole-grains, protein and eat three balanced meals each day
Snacks should be an important part of your diet, according to the Lean Plate Club. Plan on about two snacks each day, not to exceed about 100 calories each. This will of course depend on the amount of calories you're already consuming that day. Squires did an article in the Summer of 2007 highlighting 16 snacks that show kids can enjoy healthy snacks, too. But even the adults can steal from this yummy list:
- Nabisco 100 Calorie Packs
- Carrots with ranch dip
- Cheese sticks
- White popcorn
- Fruit
- Crackers with Hummus
Lean Plate Club's site has a Recipe Finder, Daily Meal Chart, Calories for Alcohol and Fast Food Nutrition Info to help you make the most informed decisions when planning your meals.EXERCISE
One of the Lean Plate Club's only two real rules is that you must be more active. You can really make that happen however is best for you- just make sure you do it. You should exercise at least half an hour each day, but increase that to about 90 minutes for serious weight loss results. Lean Plate Club does offer some guidance for activity, especially in the book.CONCLUSION
Sally Squires really seems to get it. You don't necessarily have to be a babysitter to people trying to lose weight, you just have to arm them with information, tools and new ideas to keep them motivated and working toward their goals. The Lean Plate Club is an interesting idea. Unlike most diets with regimented food plans, online subscriptions and interactive websites, this is pretty much up to you.
All of the information Lean Plate Club has to offer is made available on the Washington Post website, but it's really up to you to determine calories/day, foods to eat, exercises to perform and set your goals.
User testimonials rave about both the author and the program. Popular Oprah guest and author himself, Dr. Mehmet Oz even gives Lean Plate Club his nod of approval.Common Misspellings

With the proliferation of social media, organizations face a slew of emerging regulatory challenges, brand threats, and security vulnerabilities – just look at recent incidents with Cole Haan, Zarbee's, US Airways, British Gas, among countless others, even including our own US military. While once a niche market helping financial services firms meet FINRA obligations, SRC solutions now offer more than just compliance support, helping organizations better manage today's wide gamut of social risks with social threat detection, account protection, and risk monitoring.
Proofpoint Has To Prove The Sum Is Greater Than Its Parts

Q: Rick Neuheisel came to UCLA with much fanfare, as the school declared that USC's dominance of Los Angeles was over. How has he done so far with his first full recruiting class?
Pierson: Given that UCLA went 4-8 this season, he's doing pretty well so far in recruiting the class of 2009. He's recognized that an immediate injection of players who can play at the Pac-10 level was needed, so he's gone out and gotten commitments from four JC recruits, which is highly unusual for UCLA. Usually, the UCLA football program won't even look at JCs because UCLA's higher academic requirements exclude most most of them, but Neuheisel found a way to recruit them. Not all of them are necessarily impact players, but they're guys who will be able to immediately compete physically, which is something high school prospects can't generally do in their first year. And Neuheisel recognizes that he's lacking enough players on his roster to generate competition, which is a huge factor in improvement.
Neuheisel also recognized that he needed his quarterback of the future, and he got him in Richard Brehaut, a very talented kid from Rancho Cucamonga. He recognized he needs to upgrade his trenchmen, so he's been targeting linemen -- both JC and from high school.

And while USC has thoroughly dominated recruiting in recent years, and UCLA's claim that "the monopoly is over" was far premature, Neuheisel did score a major coup in the UCLA/USC recruiting war in taking the #1 tight end in the nation, Morrell Presley, away from USC. USC has dominated the recruiting war for years, but this is one battle that UCLA won. If he can possibly steal a couple more recruits who are currently committed to USC, which he's trying to do, then we maybe can start talking about UCLA chipping away at the monopoly.
Carden: Rick Neuheisel has done a solid job with his first recruiting class, securing the verbal commitments of quality recruits like Presley, Stan Hasiak and Brehaut, among others. Those players will provide the Bruins with a strong foundation for the future. With that said, I don't think it really has had a major impact on USC's recruiting class because the Trojans are still the dominant recruiting force in the Pac-10 and will bring in one of the top classes in the nation this year headlined by players like Matt Barkley and T.J. McDonald.
Q: Neuheisel also comes with a lot of baggage -- there were recruiting violations at Colorado and Washington, his previous stops. Has that followed him to UCLA and impacted his recruiting?
Pierson: The "baggage," in my opinion, today is overblown, something the conventional media uses as a reference when writing about Neuheisel because they don't really know much, and that's the only reason it follows him in any way. It has absolutely no impact on recruiting, except maybe to make Neuheisel more conscientious about it.
Carden: I think the recruiting issues that he had at Colorado and Washington will always be something that fans of other schools and the media will bring up in regards to Neuheisel, but I haven't seen any evidence that it has affected him with current recruits and their families.
Q: Has Pete Carroll and USC been affected by Neuheisel's return to his alma mater?
Carden: It's hard to measure the impact that Neuheisel has had on Pete Carroll and USC because they have so much ground to make up in Westwood. I think it will be very interesting to see how much progress the Bruins can make on the field in year two. That's really when Carroll was able to resurrect the USC program. One thing that we have seen surface lately is that Neuheisel's return has brought some much needed passion back to the crosstown rivalry, which was really lacking when Karl Dorrell was the head coach.

Q: There have been verbal jabs between the two schools, each accusing the other of dirty recruiting. Any validity to these claims?
Pierson: I think it all got started as an Internet rumor -- that Ken Norton Jr., USC's linebacker coach, would be a candidate for the UCLA defensive coordinator job if it opened up. In fact, Bruin Report Online was the first to make that possibility public. From there, it had reverberations. Recruits probably asked Norton about the possibility, and that probably prompted USC to say something public about it. I think it's a huge stretch for USC to say that UCLA coaches were telling recruits that Norton would be UCLA's next DC. But I think it was a calculated ploy by Carroll, and I think Neuheisel's statement in response was just as calculated.
No matter the issue, the significance of the incident is that USC in the past wouldn't have even bothered to worry about UCLA in recruiting. I think it signifies that USC, after the commitment switch of Morrell Presley, might be worried -- or maybe just a little irritated -- about UCLA now, which is far more than it's been in years.
I think it's a great thing to have happened. The rivalry needs a fire lit underneath it. For many years it hasn't been a rivalry, really, but just USC dominance.
Carden: I can't comment on the validity of the claims, but like Pete Carroll said when you have two major universities in such a close proximity, competing for the same recruits, there are naturally going to be some issues that surface. This won't be the last time that issues arise in recruiting.
[As for the Norton situation], I haven't confirmed if UCLA was indeed saying that or not, but I will say that Ken Norton Jr. isn't the type of guy who would go to the press with those accusations unless he felt very strongly about it.
Q: The recruiting of Morrell Presley, the nation's No. 1 tight end who switched his commitment from USC to UCLA, was especially acrimonious. What was the point of view from each school?
Pierson: UCLA's point of view is pretty straight-forward. Presley is a truly elite prospect, one of the guys who gets the classification of "freak" because of his potential. They were elated when he decided to switch, and it's motivated them more to pursue other USC-committed players and hope a domino effect ensues.
Carden: I think Morrell Presley switching his commitment from USC to UCLA was definitely a surprise, and a key addition to UCLA's class. What people need to remember is Presley is a good kid who made the decision that he felt was best for him and his future. One thing that sometimes gets lost in all the excitement that surrounds recruiting is that these are teenagers who are making one of the most important decisions of their lives.
Q: Currently, USC is No. 7 in Scout.com's recruiting rankings. UCLA is at No. 19. Do you see any movement one way or the other by singing day?
Pierson: I think both schools will continue to move up the rankings. I expect both to finish strongly by signing day. USC will do like it's done in the past, finish off the recruiting season by getting commitments from a wave of elite prospects. UCLA will probably also get more commitments from some highly-ranked guys, and I would suspect that some of the players they already have committed, like Brehaut, could move up the rankings, which will enhance UCLA's class rankings. I'd guess that USC will easily end up top 5 in the nation, and UCLA probably top 20.
Carden: Both schools have a good chance to move up in the rankings by signing day. Right now, USC has the seventh ranked class by Scout.com with 17 commitments, which is the smallest number of commits of any school in the top 10. That shows that USC's recruiting class is filled with high quality prospects (8 in the top 100). Pete Carroll has always been a strong closer, and USC is still in the mix for some of the top uncommitted players across the country like Scout's top-rated defensive end Devon Kennard, so they will bring in another tremendous class. I think UCLA also has some good momentum heading towards signing day and will finish with a top 20 class.

"Deadbeat Dads" May Have Right to Counsel
You've heard it on TV and in the movies. "You have a right to a lawyer. If you can't afford a lawyer one will be appointed for you." The Constitution guarantees the right to counsel in criminal cases. But should parents behind in their child support payments have free counsel too?
- Right to counsel guaranteed in criminal cases
- More child support cases ending in jail time for delinquent parents
- From the inside, a jail cell looks the same, conviction or not
- Copy this link to share with friends: http://bit.ly/i69L6M
More Debtors Go to Jail Just for Owing Money
That's the question before the Supreme Court today. Five states do not provide free counsel to the "obligor spouse" in child support enforcement proceedings. And in those and other states delinquent parents can be jailed for failing to pay support.
The State of South Carolina says these parents aren't entitled to a free lawyer because they're not being locked up to punish them, but to make them pay. But does a jail cell know the difference?
Doing time for owing money is on the rise around the country. It's not limited to jailing "deadbeat dads" who won't – or can't – pay support. People are being jailed for failing to pay court-ordered fines and other simple debts. We've come a long way from the debtor's prisons of Dicken's England, and it's starting to look like a round-trip to some.

The medallion is an open setting with a Large Amber Color Rhinestone set in the center and surrounded with an Ornate Gold tone Setting. Five single chain length extend from the base and have a Amber Bead Attached to each, this same detail is repeated in the chain just above the Gold tone Medallion that bears the Goldette Marking on the reverse. The necklace is secured with a screw clasp and measures 6" from the top of the upper medallion to the end of the chain "fringe' and a 7" drop from the center back to the top of the First Medallion

"He is the leading figure of a new generation of U.S. players," de Bontin said of Adu. "He is going to be an ambassador for the United States. I can picture Freddy Adu, for instance, as the one player who can do for U.S. soccer what Greg LeMond did for U.S. cycling when he won his first Tour de France. Let's be frank, U.S. soccer is unknown in France and in some ways looked down upon. Freddy and AS Monaco can change that."
De Bontin, who is overseeing all player transactions, said Coach Ricardo is also looking for a central defender, an attacking midfielder, preferably to play on the right side, and a forward. He said that Adu should get a chance to start up up front, where Monaco is rather thin. De Bontin added that it would be easier to find another American from within Europe rather than in MLS.
The French season starts Aug. 9 when Monaco faces Paris St. Germain, but Adu will in China with the U.S. Olympic team. He's happy that he's been given a chance to attend the Olympics.
"I know some players get held out by their teams," he said, "and sometimes they have to really argue with their teams, but this isn't one of those situations. I love the Olympics. This is a dream of mine."
Adu admitted his first season in Europe was a learning experience. Benfica went through three coaches, and he dropped out of the first-team picture when he returned from Olympic qualifying in March.
"If you're not in the coach's plans," he said, "there's hardly anything you can do to get back in."
Adu said he's looking forward to the challenge of playing in France.
"I know the French league is a lot more organized," he said. "The defenses are more organized. Obviously, you have your work cut out. You need discipline to get better."
Adu's goal for the next season is to establish himself at the club level. He said he was pleased to be picked up by a club like Monaco with its great tradition and long list of famous stars like Thierry Henry and Juergen Klinsmann.
"It makes you feel good to be wanted," Adu said, "and to be wanted by a club like Monaco, that's great. When you are wanted, that's all you can ask for."

Sakamichi no Apollon is a first thing that popped into my head and fits perfectly.
I think Fate/Stay Night could do though it is more action orientated but romance stole most of the spot light at the end =/
GTO has one of my fave relationships which gets developed towards the end but the build up is at the start. No one really confessed there but the girl hates guys guts at first but eventually they build up a none forced relationship.
Green Green but it is other way around. It is a girl who confesses first. Though series re quiet perverted.
Kaichou wa Maid-sama! will do.
A bloody and reversed version is Mirai Nikki.

Wow.. I was away and saw that there have been more recommendations.. Thanks a lot..
Regrettably, I have already watched/read most of the things suggested, but then I should have given a list or something. Anyway, thanks again. Hopefully, among the things I have not watched/read, I would find something that I am looking for, exactly.
I love the manga too. The only thing I am miffed about, is that it is a monthly manga. D:

Boys Over Flowers comes to mind. It's an older slice of life/romance anime but it's really good imo.
Marmalade Boy sort of has this in the beginning but it's more that the main female protagonist dosen't have a clue what she wants and is angry about the new changes in her life
Both are great though

Starting on a project - 30 highboy
So, I am not sure this is the right place to post this but here goes.
I purchased a very original 1930 Model A (see photos) a couple of months ago with intentions of turning it into a highboy, my preferred style of hotrod. Now, I should stress that although I have tinkered with cars for 25 years and am comfortable pulling/rebuilding engines etc I have never 'built' a rod. The car has sat in the workshop these past two months whilst I try to decide on whether to tackle it or simply sell it and buy one that is done. Trouble with that is I haven't seen many I truly like and the couple I have are VERY expensive, say 70k!
I am looking for an old school rod...no billet/expensive paint, basically as it would have looked if built 30-40 years ago. I am not looking for a rat rod, just an old school rod.
In case it helps, I have a '55 264 nailhead sitting in the workshop and can use that.
A couple of images that show the type of thing I am after:
So, I guess the big question is this. If I am NOT looking for a show queen but a simple but solid rod I can drive and have fund in (isn't that what they were always for?!) how big a job is this?
I know that is a big question but specifically, how much work do I NEED to do to the frame? Do I NEED to switch the frame for a 32 which seems to be 'the' way to go can I simply use the existing frame (boxed). How do I achieve the highboy rake/stance using the existing body/frame? Does this require cutting/welding/fabrication or something simpler? Will simply removing the fenders give me something like the look I am after?
Based upon the images of my ideal look I suspect the biggest job (unless I am about to hear of a dozen others!) is to chop the roof. Looking at the image I am guessing it needs to come down maybe 4-5 inches?
That and getting the drivetrain into the frame appear to be THE big jobs or am underestimating this?
Any feedback will be much appreciated.
I will post back as I move forward as I am sure there are others out there that don't have tons of experience in building a rod but want to do so.
Wow! looks like a nice car. I am a die hard hotrodder from way back. Had a Model A of my own many years ago. I just have to tell you, it would be a crime to cut that car up. I know some guys will blast me here, but its not like you found this car chopped up in a barn or something. This looks like a nice easy restoration project for someone.. Go buy a Duece frame and glass body if you want a nice highboy!
The car is nice, I will agree. There are many of them in the $10k-$12k range on eBay so I don't feel like I am cutting up an endangered species but again I understand many will disagree.
deuce frame ?
If you are going for a highboy, a deuce frame looks best and they make them with the pinched front rails. narrowed to better fit the model A body. It is your choice, When I was 13 or 14 I used to stop and lust after the 2 chopped and channeled A coupes in front of the Gm dealership in town. built by a couple guys that worked in the shop. One metallic red and one metallic blue, one with a caddy and one with and olds, I put an olds in my first T bucket and my brother put a Caddy in his. When we built the olds powered 31 chrysler roadster we channeled it. To us, channeled meant YOU BUILT it. The roadster would be called a rat rod today, It didn't get the bullet holes hammered out or painted, we just started driving and racing it. A high boy meant you just unbolted parts and thru them away. That was our opinion. I have already notched the 31 nash roadster for channeling when I put the steel sub-structure in replacing the wood., My son has gathered up a lot of old steel, he has the quarters and cowls from some unknown makes, and a couple of touring cars. Old doors are hard to find. this winters project is doors for the nash.
timothal thanks for the feedback.
To be honest I am less looking to spend countless hours making the rod MINE and more trying to understand the workload required to achieve a simple, old school highboy look. From your comment above it would almost appear that a highboy is easier than some, consisting of primarily removing parts and having the right stance.
I dont feel the need to do more than is necessary. I am happy to spend time installing the drivetrain etc but am clueless when it comes to what is NEEDED to be done to the frame. Needed is the main word...
I know many opt for the 32 frame but are there examples of a 30 highboy with original frame. Does it looks THAT different or worse with the standard frame? In the 50s and 60s I would imagine there were countless rods running around with original frame...
I know forums can be a difficult place to articulate things sometimes and maybe this is one of those times. Not sure I am getting across what I meant to.
Deuce (a member here) builds a nice car and has a ton of photos in his journal.
Hot Rod Photo Journal - Deuce's Journal
There's a ton of info here, do a search. Boxing the frame is a must, there's a lot of info for available cross-over parts to use for the old school look.
Also, check out the HAMB site, old school guys, a bit cliquish but if they like your project, they can be helpful. Lots of info there also.

Good luck with your project, I hope that you build the car and make it your "own". You have a good start, that's a beautiful car to start a project. And I wouldn't worry too much about chopping up an original, Henry made a gazillion of those cars and you certainly will not create a shortage. Keep us posted, please! Dan
"When I was younger, I could remember anything, whether it had happened or not." - Mark Twain
I, too would have a hard time cutting up a nice car like that, but - it is yours to do as you wish.
Time - lots. And that's just for planning on where you want to be when done.
Building it - a heluva lot - especially if you have never done a ground up build. Once that body comes off, the interior out, you may find that there was some body work that covered a multitude of rust pain.
Budget - it WILL cost in the realm of $30,000 and most likely more by the time you get a reliable engine, transmission, differential, brakes, gas tank, new interior, gauges, cooling system, boxed or replacement frame, exhaust system wheels, tires, paint etc, etc, etc. And then there are the changes you decide are better then your first idea(s). If anyone tells you it's different then this - they are dead wrong. Especially for a newbie.
This '31 of mine - well up in cost and I did everything but the upholstery:

Thanks guys, food for thought. None the wiser as far as utilizing the current frame but will certainly look at the HAMB to see if I can get anything there.
Totally agree that a lot of time is likely involved here although I am sure the 'it will cost in the realm of 30k' is influenced to a large extent on specs etc but I am not fooling myself that this can be done for 10k. To be honest cost is less of an issue than time... again I suspect the required investment in terms of both time and cost varies massively depending on objective.
I will indeed perform more searches. I spent an hour searching this morning and came up empty handed as far as converting original to highboy.
Thanks again for all input, appreciated.

At the risk of, as an earlier poster said...being blasted, this thread was to try to understand the scale of the project and steps required rather than start a debate on whether I should use this car or buy a new body.
Taste is obviously very subjective and despite some posters stating a preference for a new frame and glass body it is most decidedly NOT something that appeals to me. As we used to say back in the UK, it just isn't my cup of tea.
On the topic of chopped tops, I do agree that a large chop is not, purely in my opinion, something I want but a 3'ish(?) inch reduction is probably what was shown in the image I posted this morning (repeated below) and so IS something I would consider.
Thanks again to all those that provided relevant input. I will be checking the links provided.
classic highboy
A friend of mine's son. (I am old enough that some of my old buddies kids are now into building cars) had me stop by at his project A, It was a drivable A coupe like yours that needed restoration, after crunching the numbers, he removed the body and sold everything else except radiator, grill shell and hood. He then bought another A frame that had been stripped of running board and fender brackets, ready to box. He said selling a complete running chassis brought more money than trying to piece out the things he wasn.t going to use. Next locate a dropped 40's ford front suspension pieces , spring over axle pieces, an 8 in maverick- comet rear are cheap. then decide on the engine and trans you are going to run. I have a 401-or 425 nailhead ( casting numbers are the same ) I just haven't decided which project to put it in. I had a nailhead in my willys years ago, and put a 401 in my 56 cameo years ago. It's either hard to find old parts or expensive to buy new pieces to run something other than an old dyna-flo trans.

There are a couple of statements the author made that tell me he needed to do some additional homework before and during his build.
Handful to drive - huh! Why? I'm at well over 300Hp and not a bit difficult to handle at road speed and twisty roads (Upstate NY has them) and not a bit squirrely at full throttle acceleration.
Noise, vibration and harshness. Again, why? Yeah, I'll agree to some noise with my '31. Open hood, roadster with and without a top, mufflers contribute. Vibration and harshness on a properly built chassis are not necessary. Yep, I have IFS, but even a solid front axle work well if the correct springs and shocks are used. Coil over rears are probably the best way to alleviate much coming from that end.
Paul - that's what I meant in my first post about doing lots of planning. Get it right, the car wont be a chore and a physical pain to drive and enjoy.

more input
on the hot rod model A build , My 2 cents worth, I don't like the ford biscuit style front motor mounts. they can generate some clutch chatter from the engine moving, on a ford flathead with an enclosed drive line, the engine trans and drive shaft were all bolted solid together, No movement. The 40's ford drum brakes he used on the front are not the best. If you have to rebuild the brakes go to the hamb and check out how to use early 50's F1 or lincoln brakes., or later chevy 12 in rear wagon drum brakes or just go to front disc's. but as you have read so far, lots of different opinions on what to do..... JUST DO IT YOUR WAY . and good luck.
Please don't take my most recent post as a jab, it wasn't mean to be one. I do appreciate every post made in this thread. I totally agree that planning is required and lots of it. I have also spent some time perusing a solid book (How to Build a Traditional Ford Hot Rod) which is providing more answers, AND questions.
The more research I am doing (and will continue to do) the more I am actually coming to the conclusion that I might sidestep the Buick nailhead and instead keep the banger. Cant get more old school than the original engine huh? It (keeping the banger) wasn't even something I had considered. Would appear to simply things a tad.
As for the whole chop/no-chop discussion, i have spent the last while looking at unchopped A's and have to admit, I am wavering...!

TPMS Sensors for new wheels
I have a set of wheels off my 91 Thunderbird that I want to put snow tires on for this coming winter. I know the wheels fit. What I dont know is what sensors do I need for the stupid TPMS system. Can I use the tire valve ones or do they have to be the more expensive band types?
Also, anyone know where I can order some OEM or aftermarket one cheap? I checked Rock Auto and it looks like the senesors and the bands are 2 separate part numbers and end up being $80+ total per wheel.
try tire rack. i got mine for about $45 each when i got the new wheels
$42 each for me at Tire Rack.
315MHz Tire Pressure Sensor 4 $42.00 $168.00
Fyi: 2010+ use valve stem type
Can you use the factory ones for new wheels?
Technically, you don't even have to get them, but your car will yell at you at every startup. I got my steelies/winter tires on ebay. But I never even sync'd my sensors... so I have no clue if they even work. I probably wasted the $90+ I paid for them.
EDIT: I'll buy one of those fancy reset tools when I'm good and ready.
I dont have them but i think you can switch them over.....but your prob better off just doing this...
I have a 2012 Focus Ti with the 18" rims. I am looking to buy a separate set of rims and tires for the winter but 17". What would happen if I do not have tire pressure monitoring sensors for my winter rims/tires? I prefer not to spend the extra money on 4 sensors.

Citation: Narayanan, P., Lefcourt, A.M., Tasch, U., Rostamian, R., Kim, M.S. 2007. Tests of the ability to orient apples using their inertial properties. ASABE Annual International Meeting. Paper #07646. Interpretive Summary:
Technical Abstract: Machine vision has the potential to improve quality and safety of fruit available for consumption. However, lack of an effective and inexpensive method for appropriately orienting fruit for imaging has hindered development of optical technologies for sorting fruit. For example, it is difficult to differentiate stem and calyx regions from problem areas in images. One solution would be to orient fruit so that these regions are not imaged. We discovered that apples can be oriented using their inertial properties. Apples were rolled down two test tracks consisting of two parallel wooden rails (16.5° inclination, 3 m length). When the apples achieved sufficient angular velocity, they generally moved to an "oriented" position where the stem/calyx axis is perpendicular to the direction of travel and parallel to the plane of the rails. As transit time is about 1.5 sec, a monochrome camera was used to create movies of the orientation process (60 fps, non-interlaced, 1/500th sec exposure, 640 x 480 pixels) and software was written to slow the movies to six fps, and to identify the center of the apple in each frame and whether the apple was oriented. Tests were conducted using 100 Red and 100 Golden Delicious apples with three different initial positions of the stem/calyx axis: (1) perpendicular, (2) at 45°, and (3) parallel to the rails. Apples started in a perpendicular position were de facto oriented; however, the apples often showed effects of precession as runs progressed. Apples started at 45°almost instantly became oriented. Orientation for the parallel condition was not always successful; theoretically, for a balanced apple, there are no lateral forces generated during end-over-end rotation. Theoretical dynamics suggest that parallel loading will not occur if a random loading mechanism is used. Alternatively, potential methods for circumventing this problem case are discussed.

No need to pull fuses (becomes a pain in the ass when you do it everytime you get into your car), no need to disconnect batt. Also turn the radio off for a few sec let it reset itself then plug everything back in and it should work fine... at least for the moment before you have to do it again.
Dension has told me that they are working hard on a fix... basically it'll require us to download an updated firmware soon available on their site.
Also... when this problem occurs, my turn signals blink erratically. Too fast, too slow, skipping blinks, etc... very very strange. But once I pull the 12 pin connector and put it back, everything is fine again, turn signals, ipod, etc...
I've also got another issue with constant static, hissing, popping, noises when playing my ipod, also some sort of whine noise as if i've just installed a cheap car stereo system using crappy wires
I've contacted Dension tech support about this but no response yet... Tom if you're out there, could you ask Chase to get back to me on this issue? Please ask him to respond to my latest email from
. I've also listed a few other issues for him to look into: why my ipod continues to charge after the key is taken out, even though I have it set not to charge after key is off. Thanks for the help!
Send me your full name and phone number via PM - I'll forward over to Chase personally.

This event was held to honor those who have distinguished themselves among their peers in the areas of best practice processes, business building and fund performance. The San Francisco-based Marcato Capital Management won the Emerging Manager of the Year Award. In selecting Marcato for this honor, the Global Emerging Manager Awards' panel of judges noted that the firm distinguished itself not only with exceptional fund performance, but also by displaying best practices with respect to infrastructure, client service and business development. "All the finalists had impressive credentials. Marcato is to be congratulated for its win, as they represent the very standard that all emerging managers aspire to reach," said Adam Geiger, President and CIO of New Legacy Group. "Marcato Capital Management is an example of why asset allocators are taking real notice of emerging managers." Gregory Zuckerman, senior reporter at The Wall Street Journal, noted in this welcome remarks, "Statistics and historical data show that the real alpha is from smaller hedge funds." Later, he said, "I am told that the attendees here tonight have allocated over half a trillion dollars to hedge funds. That is a pretty impressive number." The awards dinner also focused on philanthropy within the investment community with a discussion titled, "Give Smart: Conversations with Tom Tierney ," with renowned philanthropists Justin Rockefeller, Spencer Robertson, and Irene Pritzker . Mr. Tierney is the co-founder and CEO of Bridgespan and the co-author of Give Smart: Philanthropy that Gets Results. "The message of giving to create real, effective change in the world truly resonated with the audience of prestigious allocators and managers," said Jay Zachter, managing director of S&P Capital IQ, "S&P Capital IQ is proud to have been able to bring together some of the top leaders in the world. The event exemplified the strong connection between philanthropy and the investment community." The winners of the 2013 Global Emerging Manager Awards by category are:
