Appetizer Recipe: Atomic Buffalo Turds
Cooking up a barbecue feast for your friends and family can (and will) be an all day affair. Depending on the size of your cut, briskets and pork butts can take every bit of 18 hours to slow smoke to perfection. As much as I like starving myself all day in anticipation of the gluttony that's soon to come, my willpower tends to falter somewhere around the noon hour. Since the smoker is already chugging away, there's no need to power up the oven for that well deserved mid-day snack. Instead, I prefer to toss in a few stuffed jalapeno peppers…especially the ones dubbed "Atomic Buffalo Turds"!!!
These smokey treats are really easy to prepare, and you may even have most of the ingredients hanging out in your fridge already:
12 fresh jalapeno peppers
12 slices of bacon
24 little smokies
1 package of cream cheese (room temperature)
2 tsp paprika
1 tsp cayenne pepper
Smokey Kansas City All-Purpose Barbecue Seasoning
To start the construction of the atomic buffalo turds, you'll first want to wash and trim the jalapeno peppers. I highly recommend wearing plastic food prep gloves during the trimming portion to keep the jalapeno juices from soaking into your skin, so proceed with caution if you choose not to heed my advice. Trimming these guys is a relatively simple task. Simply chop the stem off and slice the pepper lengthwise to expose the seeds and vein. Using a spoon, scrape out the white vein and rinse under water to wash away the seeds. The cream cheese will ultimately counteract the burn from the peppers, so leave a good amount of the inner membrane in tact if you want to feel the heat.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, paprika and cayenne pepper. Using a butter knife, or a pastry bag, fill each jalapeno half with a generous portion of the cream cheese mixture.
Top each one of the jalapeno "boats" with a little smokey.
Wrap each of the little smokey topped jalapenos with a half slice of bacon, making sure that the seam is directly on top of the little smokey. Secure the wrap by inserting a toothpick straight down through the overlapping edges of the bacon all the way through the little smokey. Stop just short of going through the pepper though, that way the cream cheese doesn't leak out through the hole.
Next is to season each of the buffalo turds with our Smokey Kansas City All-Purpose Barbecue Seasoning. If you're the do-it-yourself type, a nice blend of brown sugar and cayenne pepper works great on these bad boys as well.
Cooking the buffalo turds is a matter of getting the bacon done to your liking. My preference is smoke at 250 degrees for about an hour and a half. At this point the bacon isn't overly crispy, but it's definitely cooked enough to be bite through. If you prefer a crispier bacon, then I'd suggest kicking the temperature up to 300 degrees for about an hour. You'll want to keep a close eye on the peppers though. If they overcook, then they'll loose their stability and your turds will spill out all over your smoker.
Once your buffalo turds are cooked to your liking, remove them from the grill to cool down a bit before serving. Top them off with your favorite BBQ sauce before serving. I prefer to go with a sweeter sauce to compliment spice of the hot peppers. This particular batch was basted with Blues Hog Original Barbecue Sauce cut with a little cran-grape juice. The juice helps loosen up the thick sauce, and it also layers in a nice bright fruity flavor that goes well with the spice of the peppers. A spoonful of sauce on each turd and you can guarantee these tasty treats will disappear in no time flat!
Jason, those look amazing,they've got everything a person could want in an appetizer. I'm definitely making them this weekend. Great idea!
Once again astounding! You guys are incredible!
Bacon, Sausage, Cheese, and Jalapenos! And… there's fruit in there. So… it's all healthy! Right?
[...] Would you eat something called a Atomic Buffalo Turd? [...]
Nice job, Jason!
We tried these last week. They are definitely made for the smoker.
We tried grilling them. #fail #1
We used thick cut bacon. #fail #2
Ha! Next time I'll get it right.
Trying these out today for a Smokey and Bandit / Brickyard watching party. So far so good!!
Awesome and absurd. Love it.
You can't beat ABT's for a snack while waiting for the ribs, butt and chicken to cook! Well, there are fatties. And Armadillo eggs. Let's just call it a 3 way tie:)
I was never a fan of 'lil smokies'. I like to simply cut the top off of the pepper and then stuff it with cheese. Leave a seed or two in there for 'effect'.
I seen this recipe & just had to try it. The ABT were frick"n awesome. I smoked mine with apple and the last 15 min I spread on a little JD hickory BBQ sauce. They were out of this world. Next i will be trying the Bacon Explosion.
the ABT's at the BBQ Shack in Paola (which I assumed were the originals) use water chestnuts in place of the little smokies. I would love to try the smokies – but the chestnuts were very good in the recipe.

Wow, I made these yesterday afternoon. I raised my cholesterol and lit up my mouth. These are GREAT. This is going to be a hit at my house.
I made this recipe over the weekend. That red raspberry BBQ sauce was amazing. It added an entirely different dimension to food and the entire recipe.
I make something something very similar using shrimp instead. I use a piece of foil to limit the amount of direct heat/flame due to flair-up from the bacon. Constant attention and turning is still required, unless you like them extra crispy!!!!

I used smoked paprika in the cream cheese. Adds a nice touch. It would also be nice if there was a link to print these articles that formats everything nicely. I love trying your recipes!

I made these this weekend for the Eagles vs. Colts game at my friends house and slightly modified the recipe using a steak rub on thick maple-wood smoked bacon and instead of grilling them (which i wanted to do) i broiled them for 15 minutes in the oven. I also topped them off with a little fresh rosemary and minced garlic.
Big hit at the little get-together they had!
Next time i will be smoking these lil'smokies
Big up on this recipe!
Oh man, do those look good! I've been looking to try something new with our masterbuilt electric smoker and these Atomic Buffalo Turds look like they'll fit the bill perfectly. We have some pretty adventurous kids so I'm sure they'll give them a try. Do you think I'll have a better chance at more of these little tasty treats if I tell them the name first? My son will definitely be all over them but the girls might shy away just long enough for me to swoop in for the kill. Awesome recipe Jason!

I cannot cook at all to save my life, but I just tried these for Thanksgiving at my in-law's house and they were everyone's favorite. They are literaly idiot proof, no offense.

Is this recipe available in the "BBQ Makes Everything Better" cookbook?
I had these for the first time last year on a float trip with the guys in Arkansas. I'm going to be making them this weekend on our annual float trip. They're an awesome appetizer while waiting for the main course. I'll be mixing some cowtown all purpose rub into the cream cheese and then sprinkling some more on top of everything before smoking them. Should turn out great.
I had these one year and they were phenomenal. I couldn't find they raspberry sauce so I made my own.
12 tbsp Raspberry preserve
4 tbsp Honey BBQ Sauce
4 tbsp Water
1 tbsp Cayenne Pepper
1/2 tbsp tobasco sauce
*Bring to a simmer/slight boil then store in fridge or use after it cools for 10min.
Also I used thick cut bacon and slow cooked it at 250 deg for 3 hours with indirect heat. So a little time consuming but worth it. I was getting compliments all week on these.
I made these last weekend, and they were great. I modified the recipe, since my family does not like the heat like I do. I used less cayenne in the cream cheese, and added a little Ancho & Chipotle chile powder. I used brown sugar, a little cayenne, & both chile powders for my rub.
I also modified Eggman Charlie's finishing sauce by microwaving until warm 1 pint of fresh rasberries, mashed them thru a strainer, and used that as my base. Then I added the BBQ sauce, cayenne, and hot sauce, but, omitted the water.
I don't have a smoker, so I put them in a pan, and cooked them on low on my grill, with wood chips.
My kids loved them, and they will be at our tailgate parties this year.
I made some changes to the raspberry sauce and removed the tobacco and cut the cayenne to two teaspoons since it was a little spicy for most people.
Tobasco not tobacco haha.
Good one eggman!!!
I received an e-mail with your post, and was wondering how I missed tobacco in the recipe when I read it-LOL You should give the fresh rasberries a try in the finishing sauce. Thanks for adding your sauce recipe to the ABT's. It really makes a nice presentation, and finish on them.

Made these tonight by memory from a friends bbq last week. Stellar. Can't wait to try some varieties! I grilled for about 20 min then stuck them in the stove for about 30 min on 380. Broiled for two min to get extra crispy.
I didn't have a wire rack so that is why they were started on the grill – crisped up the bottoms. I plan to buy one soon.
I made these yesterday and by golly they were great! I changed a couple of ingredients for the lack of having them in my pantry. I substituted chipotle powder for cayenne and I used my cousin Karin's recipe for sweet barbecue rub.
I also cooked them in the oven because I was to lazy to fool with my smoker on Sunday after church.
Karin's Special Dry Rub:
4 Tbs salt
6 Tbs brown sugar
3 Tsp cayenne pepper
6 Tsp smoked paprika (must be smoked, not regular)
3 Tsp garlic powder
I got here by searching Turd……
Hi All:
I Have made these several times since I first saw the recipe, and I do not own a smoker, so I grill them with thick bacon, and have had no failures.
I put them in an aluminum pan, put a foil packet filled with wood chips and pierced with holes in the bottom of the grill. Then just cook them on low and check often. I guarantee this will work.
Merry Christmas to all.
SO good. I have made them 3 times in the last 3 months and the last 2 times were by request. man they are good.
Hi All:
Happy New Year!!
I have made these many times since I saw the recipe, and a major hit every time.
People were fighting over them at the tailgate party, and when I make them at home, as I did for the Giant-Green Bay game last Sunday, I have to guard them until I can finish and serve, because, my 16 year old son circles like a shark when they are cooking.
I have been tailgating for over 20 years, did some catering, cook and eat a lot of different nationality foods, and I can say with confidence, this is one of the best appetizers I have ever had or made.
My compliments and thanks to whomever came up with this recipe.
I am making these now, but switched out the little smokies for shrimp. They are going to rock!
these can be grilled, I made a make shift tray from aluminum foil and put a few small holes in it so it would drain slightly. Came out great!
These are great made the for Superbowl tonight. Thanks for the Recipe. Also had the Bacon Explosion for the third year in a row.

They look and sound delicious definately going to make
I made these with turkey little smokies and turkey bacon.
Even with non-pork products, this recipe is amazing!
I am not a huge fan of BBQ sauce, even my own that is fabulous IMO, but found these to be the best with BBQ sauce.
Thanks for sharing the recipe!
These sound amazing! Unfortunately I do not have a smoker. Could a person bake them in the oven on a cooling rack that is placed inside a rimmed baking sheet? If so, at what temperature and how long would you recommend?
Hey folks. I've been making these for several years, and here is the recipe I like best for those who don't necessarily like/want a 'BBQ flavor' to them.
jalapenos cut in half (lightly pre-roast and cool before stuffing)
Cream cheese filling with chives and onion.
Cheddar lil'smokies.
regular cut applewood smoked bacon wrapped top to bottom.
cook at 300 degrees or on bbq until bacon is to desired crispness.
Glaze with Apricot Jamb and cook another 5 min.
I dont have a smoker or a grill is there anyway I can make these in the oven???
Josh, second that on the BBQ Shack's ABTs! Those were some great grub. Many times I couldn't finish my 'queue because I filled up on those pups. Also, as good as the BBQ in KC is, the 'queue at the Shack in Paola was better. We never regretted the drive, but we always regretted leaving!
I'm making these for our New Year's Eve party and can't wait to nom one. My first try was a pathetic fail (all the cream cheese ended up on the charcoals), but now I know the trick: low heat, patience, and beer! Gawd, this is going to be gooood…

My family likes to grill these with the cream cheese, a shrimp and a tidbit of pineapple. Wrapped in bacon, these are delicious.
These look amazing. A much better use for a little smokie than just warmed up in bbq sauce!
These sound awesome! Just a note to help you with your spicy fingers after handling jalapeños. Did you ever hear of stainless steel soap? It gets rid of garlic, onion and hot pepper smells and taste. You can get one at Bed, Bath & Beyond, Home Goods and more. It's just a piece of stainless steel in a soap shape. Run your hands under water rubbing the s.s. soap for 30 seconds. It won't foam. It really works. I can put my contacts in right after handling habaneros. Good luck.
I have good recipe for buffalo turds that are really good
12 jalapenos halfed
Smoked pulled pork
1/2 brick cream cheese
250 grams of smoked gouda
1 tbsp of cajun seasoning
1 chopped shallot
Smoked proscuetto
mix cream cheese, smoked gouda, cajun spice thoroughly.
stuff cheese mixture. into peppers.
top with pulled pork.
wrap in proscuetto.
grill for 15-20 minutes and enjoy.
they are quite delicious.

Got a big crowd coming today for a family gathering, so once again I dust off the ol' ABT recipe because it's always made me look like I'm a great host. I can fool a lot of people with these things. Seriously these make the greatest appetizers and are real crowd pleasers.
About 5 minutes from being done, I brush Raspberry Chipolte Sauce on top….sooooo good!!!
Can these be cooked in the oven?
Was looking back at the recipe since I lost it in my old phone.(May 21, 2011 at 7:09 pm) Noticed I put 1 Tbsp of cayenne Hah!! Meant to put 1 tsp… I Agree even that can be a little hot for most. So I even cut that in half. Better than putting tobacco lol…
You can cook these in oven, or on gas or charcoal grill. I have done all three. Best is over charcoal with indirect heat with wood chips for the first hour on low temp (225-250) for 2 1/2-3 hours. Use a drip pan or even tin foil below to prevent charring. Bacon has a lot of grease and if you want to prevent burning and carcinogens in your food, you need to manage the flareups. However, you need to keep the heat circulating all around so don't place turds on a pan, use a rack to elevate. The main goal is to cook the bacon and the rest will do its job. I haven't tried cooking above 300. However you cook them, pay attention to the bacon and don't burn them
[…] The Diablo is Judge Bean's jalapeno pepper stuffed with shrimp and cheese and wrapped in bacon. I didn't eat the shrimp, but did try the remainder of the Diablo. It was ok, but not the favorite side item of mine (that would be the Cowboy Beans). Also known as ABT's, a good recipe and a great final picture is at this link. […]

Former U.S. Rep. Jim Ryun -- '64, '68, '72 Olympics
I never dreamed when I was a young man that one day I would compete in the Olympics, break three world records, and be a life-long athlete. These are extraordinary accomplishments, even more so because I have exercise-induced asthma. Asthma has been part of my life for a long time, but I never let it stop me from doing the things I wanted to do.
As a child, I was never good at sports. I tried out for team after team, and as each one cut me, I grew increasingly frustrated with myself. Then I tried out for the cross-country team, and everything changed. Not only did I make the team, but I excelled at the sport. That spring I learned the incredible rush of winning a race. I also learned that I had asthma.
I had never heard of exercise-induced asthma before. I had assumed my breathlessness during and after exercise came from being out-of-shape. Fortunately for me, my coach knew enough to take me to an ear, nose, and throat doctor. He tested me for allergies, and it turned out I had lots of them. The doctor explained that allergies contribute to asthma, and he cautioned me to avoid allergens as much as possible. He also told me to "steam" my airways open at night, since at that time (early 1960s) there were not many asthma medications.
Within 3 months of cross-country training, it was clear that the Lord had given me a talent to run and to run fast. By my senior year, I was one of the top high school runners in the U.S. and a member of the U.S. Olympic team. In just two years, I went from being an average high school student to a national sports star. The pressure (and I don't mean sinus pressure) was enormous. Suddenly I had to worry about pleasing not only myself and my parents, but my coach, my teammates, the press, and my country.
In 1967, I started taking allergy shots. I was 21 years old and training for the 1968 Olympics. I was seeing an allergist who worked with athletes, and he suggested I try the shots. That same year, I became the fastest person to ever run one mile, with a time of 3 minutes, 51.1 seconds. That record held for 8 years. I don't know for certain if the allergy shots helped me break the world record, but I know they certainly helped me breathe better. I have felt much better since I started taking allergy shots.
Things seemed to be going well. My asthma did not make me different from any other member of the team, except that I had to bring my own pillows on trips and arrange to get my allergy shots in other cities. Then, during the 1968 Olympics in Mexico City, I had a big scare. I had just finished running in my final race and was walking back to the finish line. I don't remember exactly what happened in the next few minutes, but I was suddenly aware that I couldn't breathe. I couldn't breathe at all. To make matters worse, I couldn't find anyone who spoke English. Somehow I got medical help and everything was okay. Looking back on it, I should have realized that I was in a city known for its high levels of air pollution and high elevation (7,400 feet above sea level). Add the intense race I had just run, and you have the makings of an asthma attack. That experience really shook me up.
I no longer run competitively, but I still enjoy running, and I still have to take care of my asthma. My wife, Anne, and I keep a dust-free home. I continue to take allergy shots and use an air filter. I'm fortunate that I can keep my asthma under control by keeping my allergies under control. After years of representing the U.S. in international events, I had the honor of representing my home state, Kansas, in the U.S. Congress. I am extremely proud of my accomplishments as a sportsman and as a statesman, and grateful to the Lord for enabling me to serve our nation. Everyone faces obstacles in life, and asthma is one that can be overcome by paying attention to your body and taking your symptoms seriously.
Jim Ryun is one of the greatest runners of all time. He was a member of the United States House of Representatives, 1997 - 2007. He has authored and co-authored two books, America Strong and Heroes Among Us. Ryun, along with members of his family, led "Team Ryun" to victory in the House division of the 3-mile Capital Hill Challenge.

Could someone help me get a better understanding of what this code really says...
<th class='colSelect' />
<input name='selectAll' type='checkbox' value='TRUE' />
I think it means that IF the Checkbox is checked, and IF it is submitted on a Form, THEN it will have a value of "TRUE", which for example, might be what is stored in the database?
(When I first read this last night - for some old code I forgot about - I thought it was saying, "This Checkbox is pre-selected/pre-checked with a value of 'TRUE'..." which is not what I want?!)
I thought it was saying, "This Checkbox is pre-selected/pre-checked
In order to have that, the code you posted would also need to havecheckedorchecked="checked"
to mean pre-selected. The "checked" attribute when hand-coded into the HTML is considered part of the "default" values of the form (what you would have if you made changes to the form, but then hit a input type="reset" button... also Javascript, or at least many JS libraries, make a distinction between default checked/unchecked states and states set by the user).
Okay, but you missed the main question which is trying to understand what value='TRUE' means and does...
The VALUE attribute, required for radio buttons and checkboxes, unsurprisingly gives the value (chosen by the author) of the control when it is checked. The boolean CHECKED attribute specifies that the control is initially checked.
Each checkbox stands for something—an option—and you place something in the value attribute to indicate what that option is (for the sake of PHP). So when you get the results of the form, you'll know which option was chosen via the value that is returned. Presumably there would also be a label of "True" associated with this input, or something similar, for the sake of the user, as in:
The end is nigh!- True- False
So I had it right in my original post.
When this form is submitted, selectAll="TRUE". Do note this is the STRING "TRUE" and not a boolean TRUE ( tho the string will eval to TRUE).For example if the value was "FALSE" selectAll="FALSE", but since it's the STRING "false" and not the boolean FALSE, it too will eval as TRUE!!!
for this reason its best to use a 1 (true) or a 0 (false) in this kind of situation.
Yes, value is optional except when the type attribute has the value "radio" or "checkbox".
There's also an error in the way the input is NOT wrapped inside a <th> tag. If the <th/> preceding it is self closing and you are serving the page as XHTML then the page should not display because there is no opening tag to correspond to the </th> following the input. If served as HTML then the / is invalid anyway - but will be ignored.

The value attribute is always optional in the current HTML spec. Radio buttons and checkboxes have the default value "on". http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/common-input-element-attributes.html#dom-input-value-default-on
While the attribute is optional, it's important the server knows what the client is trying to convey.
Radio buttons and check boxes are included in the submitted request if checked. With checkboxes, as long as their name is unique, there isn't a problem with them having no value as long as the server side code is written to deal with it. 99% of the time that isn't the case - the server side code will check to see if the value is logically true. The default value of any input element is empty string in PHP, which is logically false. So, we have a problem.
Radio buttons without values are worse. In order to get the radio behavior all the radio buttons of a set should share a name. Unless they have different values there's no way to ascertain which one was checked from the server side.
Just because code is valid doesn't mean it will be functional, or even clear to the maintenance programmer that comes after you.

7. Buttermilk, Colorado
Parks: 2
Pipe: 22'
Jumps: 35
Jibs: 70
Peak Features: February, after X Games
2012 X Games. Photos: Aaron Blatt
There's a reason Buttermilk is home to the X Games: Its park is filled with perfectly sculpted terrain and progressive features. Doran Laybourn explains: "The park crew knows what's up and rides all the stuff they build like bosses." Things start rolling in early December, but be forewarned: Much of the park is closed throughout January in preparation for the X Games. But "When everything reopens following the X Games, it's on!" Greg Boyd, Terrain Parks Operations Director says. If you're not quite ready to throw down like McMorris or Kotsenburg, drop into the S3 Park on West Buttermilk. If, however, you are thinking about throwing doubles, you'll want the Main Park. Boyd promises that Buttermilk has "no lift lines, no attitudes, and great riding to be had everywhere."

I am working on a web form built with HTML-PHP. It is like an options/settings page and it returns the same page when it is submitted. The form has a section that controls the style with 4 radio buttons (there are four styles). When the page first loads, one of the four radio buttons is checked by default (i.e., style 1 is selected). Then I select another style by clicking on its radio button and submit the form. When the page loads, it still shows the previous radio button as checked, but when I refresh the page it shows the second radio button checked as it should. It is the same with checkbox elements too. So, I don't know if there is another solution to this but I thought that it might be related to cache and automatically refreshing the page for once would be a good idea. I found a couple of examples using some meta tags but they didn't work.
If the above paragraph was a bit complicated, my question simply is "how can I refresh a page on load once?". Thanks for any ideas.
Hi nayen. It's not quite clear to me what situation you are describing, but it sounds like JavaScript might help you a bit. Can you post a link to an example?
Hi Ralph. I know it is difficult to understand the issue without seeing the code but this is a private project and I can't post its code here.
I am just asking if you needed to refresh the page for once on load how would you do it? I found a lot of examples such as
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Pragma" CONTENT="no-cache">
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Expires" CONTENT="-1">
but they didn't work. I also went through the first three pages of Google for "refresh page once on load" type of queries but couldn't found a working solution.
By the way, the refresh should be done only if the form button (update) is submitted.
EDIT: Ok, I found something that seems to be working. It might not be the best solution but I will use it until I find a better solution. What I am doing instead of a page refresh is that I am sending the visitor to the exact same form page using the following redirection (after the button is submitted) so that the form page loads as if it was refreshed updating radio button and checkbox selections:
header('Location: edit.php?id=$user_id');
edit.php?id=$user_id is where the form is located and populated with user's information. The above solution doesn't use JavaScript and it doesn't make any changes in the URL, hence it seems to be a good one at this time.
UPDATE: What I did above now kills the error handling because redirection loads the page while destroying set variables. It seems I should forget about refreshing the page and look for an answer to why radio buttons and checkboxes don't update after form submission. I will try to ask it again with giving code examples on another post because now I understand that it is not exactly related to refreshing a page.

Useful fix if you have bleed screw problems
Hi Everyone,
I recently had a problem with my old radiator. The bleed screw would not screw itself in nicely. It kept turning and turning and would not tighten and stop. Now please bear in mind that the bleed screw can be tightened ad infinitum with increasing force, but that should not be done at all. As long as it reaches a point where it feels normally tight, you can stop there. That's usually where I stopped, but this time it kept turning and turning.
Upon close inspection, it became clear that the thread in the bleed socket had faded out. There were no cracks.
This is how I solved the problem :
1. I wound pvc tape ('pipe tape ') around the bleed screw several times and screwed it in.
2. It still kept turning and turning without tightening.
3. I then wound even more pvc tape. This time, it was too much and I could not screw it in properly.
4. So, I used an intermediate length of tape intermediate between the two steps earlier. It still kept on turning in the socket, but I decided to leave it. Ran the engine at idle for 15 minutes. No problems, no leaks, escaping coolant, or steam (you must check for steam). Drove the car off. 25 minutes later, reached home and double checked. No leaks or steam.
5. Subseqently, I removed the old pvc tape, used some new one, and then applied a large dollop of white high temp silicone window sealant. Then I screwed this in. Again, unfortunately, the bleed screw kept turning and turning, but I stopped it as I pressed it down and it seem to reach near the correct height it should be.
6. A large amount of the sealant had splayed out of the socket during the tightening process. This is normal.
7. Left it for 30 minutes to set. Then drove off. Checked for steam at the socket on several occasions after that. No problems. Drove the car damn hard as well, and checked. No problems.
While using both of the methods above, the engine's temperature was perfectly normal.
The more permanent fix for this problem is to use a rethreading die to cut a fresh thread into the bleed socket, then wind the white pipe tap around the bleed screw, and then finally screw it in decently. This will avoid the need to repeat the sealant procedure each time you remove the bleed screw to bleed the radiator.
These procedures were actually more successful than I expected, considering that in both occasions, the bleed screw could be kept turning on and on. Was quite concerned that it wouldn't last under pressure. No problems whatsoever. God did not have to be great this time, the sealant and pipe tape sufficed.
p.s. White pipe tape can be wound around to form an O ring effectively for anything. I wound a little bit extra near the top of the bleed screw where the existing O ring was, before winding it around the thread itself, in both of the procedures listed above.
p.p.s. If you ever need to do this, let the engine reach operating temperature and check to see that there are no leaks and no steam (hold your hands or a place a cup over the bleed screw, or shine an led flashlight close to the area) before you drive off. Check this every day for 3-4 days right after you've finished driving for the day, while keeping the engine running at idle. If there are no problems and no hints of a problem, then its a solid fix.
p.p.p.s. Retreading is the only long term fuss free solution.
p.p.p.p.s. Changing the radiator is the only worry-free solution. You may ultimately elect to do this - radiators are fairly cheap these days and if you know how to remove your clutch fan, its not hard to change the radiator at all and kinda fun (remember to tie up the transmission cooling lines to prevent excess oil spillage, and remember to use carb cleaner and simple green to clean the ac condensor that becomes exposed when the old radiator is removed). However, with this fix, you do not need to have your show stopped right on the spot, and you'll have time to decide your schedules and workshops etc. If you don't change the radiator, no problem. Whenever you bleed the radiator (flush the coolant once a year) then you'll just have to reapply the high temp clear/white silicone window sealant again. Removing the bleed screw ruptures the old sealant.
Thanks for the story bobby, please keep us updated on the status of the fix. I will be curious to see how long it lasts.
In the meantime, while you are doing experiments on your car, please do us all a favor and refrain from posting results until you have some real, long term experience with it. This procedure could easily result in a sudden, catostrophic coolant loss.

This fix was suggested to me by a buddy who had used it before on his rad. The looseness of the bleed screw was worse on mine than his, yet it held up to very spirited driving which is why i said i was surprised. No coolant loss and no steam observed out of the bleed screw. It handled as much pressure as the rad cap. In any case i have changed the rad...with the clutch fan out, it was just too tempting not to try.
People can be as terrified of observed data as some. Its a free country.
And of course the reason why the bleed screw fix held was because the silicone window sealant applied thickly all around the bleed screw before insertion, expanded as it hardened, holding the bleed screw fast against the walls of its socket, and OBSERVABLY able to handle the high pressures building up on a premium luxury sports sedan driven hard over three days, without a trace of a leak or steam.
There we are. Makes sense doesn't it? Except perhaps to superstitious lobbyists..who shall be left to their own imagined terrors henceforth....

I'm not sure why anyone would do this "rigged up mess of a job" to their car.

If fixes that are :
1. reliable, fast and can be implemented at any time of the day or night by yourself without anyone's assistance,
2, allows you to keep on driving after a tolerably short delay,
3. don't involve you carrying pounds of bulky material in your trunk in case you need to make that quick fix suddenly (one tube of high temp silicone window sealant and one roll of pvc tape, both of which are useful for more things than just bleed sockets that whose threads have gotten stripped due to repeated use over the years),
4. that save you time and money and helps you get moving without too much of a fuss, allows you to drive and schedule repair work at your convenience with yourself or your mechanic that might involve many other related components thus saving you alot of time and also money due to grouping work together,
5. which saves the lives of people who would otherwise be run over slowly by 3500 pounds of the panzergruppe's finest if they dare give you dirty looks that imply that you're driving an E34 because you're poor and can't afford "a decent car",

The best fix for this is to not overtighten and strip out your bleeder
Glad to see the acknowledgement that this is only a quick and temporary fix.
There may be hope for you yet bobby.

I did not overtighten, and yet it got stripped. Perhaps it had something to do with the fact that I was using a brass bleed screw instead of the normal plastic one, it may have expanded too much into the hard plastic socket. I'm not sure. Old radiator.
And I did not say that this is not a long term fix. Read my posts carefully. That being said, it probably is a long term fix. I said that I was surprised at how well it stood up to the pressure of hard driving. Remember, this was well within the ideal 24-hr recommended curing period of the thing, as stated on the back of the cover. And I just went to pick up another tube. Guess what ? They have pictures of radiators there on some of them....rtv sealants all. So i'm now convinced that this would have indeed held for the long term. Whenever I checked after the car had been driven, the sealant was rubbery hard, had not melted in the least, did not move, nothing whatsoever. And it was with the brass bleed screw. And it is good until 600 degrees F.
Of course, there's an ugly patch of dried sealant around the bleed screw that you'll need to contend with. Some black high temp spray paint dabbed on with a tiny paintbrush would take care of that. And there's the inconvenience of having to reapply this each time you flush the radiator. It will work for some folks, and they wouldn't have to first say Hosanna. As mentioned, I was surprised by how solid the fix was. Not a wisp of a wisp of steam. I checked with an upturned cup each time.
Snowsled, there could be some hope for you as well. This post was approaching politeness. I think the Hosanna's are working.
Have a good day my friend.
I am quite sure that the only person entertained by your "hossanna" fest is you bobby. I personally am concerned for you..... yeah right.

Of course, radiators being as cheap as they are, most people would eventually elect to replace theirs, as I did. The car is worth investing in. But its nice to be able to get good sound sleep at night until then. On my ride, this was as permanent a fix as can be. I drove the car hard (on the second day after the sealant fix). The radiator must have been under immense pressure. Zero problems, zero steam, rock solid. Take it for what its worth.
Of course, seeing as how you only tested it for three days... I can see it isn't really worth anything. How do you honestly justify make such a statement? For entertainments sake?
I am glad to see you standing behind your research bobby, it definately helps illustrate your poor judgement in these matters.

Photo gallery: Upland neighborhood in shock over terror suspect arrest
Neighbors say an Upland man arrested Friday on suspicions of terrorism, would speak with neighborhood kids about Islam and going to Afghanistan.
Miguel Alejandro Santana Vidriales, 21, and three others were arrested Friday in connection with a terrorist plot.
Manuel Gomez, who frequently visit family in the neighbor, said Vidriales lived with his parents and younger sister.
"They were a Mexican family and were hard core Catholics," he said. "You wouldn't expect that, not a Mexican family."
Gomez said Vidriales would "speak menace" to the kids in the neighborhood and talked about going to Afghanistan.
Maria Villa, neighbor and relative of Gomez, said her son talked with Vidriales, but did not like when he would discuss Islam.
"He would talk with the kids and talk about Allah," Villa said. "My son would just walk away."
Villa also said she would see Vidriales riding his bike in the neighborhood or sitting alone talking on the telephone.
Gomez said Vidriales' house was like a "party house" and he would stay up late.
He added that Vidriales' parents were out of town due to a death in the family.
No one answered the door at Vidriales' residence, but a sign that read "Don't burn the Quran" was seen in a window and was later removed.
Other neighbors had little interaction with Vidriales and his family.
Dorothy West, who lives next door to Vidriales and his family, said she didn't speak with the family at all, expect to occasionally borrow a key to the laundry room.
Kim Williams, another neighbor, said she didn't know the family but would see them outside barbecuing.
"The family seemed like they were the perfect family," Williams said. "You never know what people are going to do."

Fairweather Friends "Unlike" Romney on Facebook
Jason Mick
November 13, 2012 9:13 AM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Romney never fully conquered social media platform
When it comes to social networking, one cannot deny that reelected American President Barack Obama's campaign team thoroughly trumped
Republican challenger Mitt Romney's team
Even a late push by Romney in Facebook "likes" was unable to close the gap, with the final count being nearly
in Obama's favor. Mitt Romney can take pride in that analysts showed his smaller legion of fans to be more active in sharing content and liking his posts.
But as the President
celebrates the title of "Most Popular Tweet in History"
, some of those same once-engaged Romney fans are abandoning their former Facebook friend. Mitt Romney is seeing his social media stock rapidly sink. A site called "
Disappearing Romney
" is tracking this trend real time -- updating how many fans his page has.
In the last 18 hours former Gov. Romney was losing nearly 1,000 supporters an hour, as each hour on average he was "unliked" by 982 former social media buddies.
Romney's former fans are "unliking" him at a steady rate.
[Image Source: Disappearing Romney]
The former Massachusetts governor's Facebook effort was marred in the days leading up to the elections by allegations that some of his "likes" were
due to some kind of glitch
(or according to conspiracy theorists "hacking") on Facebook. A number of people complained that their accounts mysteriously "liked" Romney and could not be changed.
Presidential hopeful Mitt Romney and his VP candidate Paul Ryan lost the social media race, with Barack Obama receiving nearly 3 times as many likes. [Image Source: AP/HR]
Of course take the President's social media cachet with a grain of salt. Social media's most active members tend to skew to a younger demographic, and the younger demographic also tends to be remarkably consistent at being inconsistent in terms of voting and political fundraising.
In elections that are often decided by narrow margins in battleground states, one must wonder if a candidate who loses the social media battle by such a wide margin will be able to win in future elections, as social media's influence grows by the year.

Let me start with this quote. Which they match Lawton to the Dodgers.
Trade winds blowing
Apr 17 - The Mariners are looking to trade Matt Lawton, the Tacoma News Tribune reports. With the M's short of middle infielders and overcrowded with left-handed hitters, they want to bring in a right-handed-hitting infielder who would allow them to use their bench.
Seattle isn't looking for a huge return and likely would take a prospect or a veteran middle infielder making about the same as Lawton ($400,000). Because he signed as a free agent, he would have to approve any deal if dealt before June.
"I signed here and knew the situation, but yeah, I'd like to play more," Lawton told the newspaper. "I'm not asking for a trade, and I understand their situation. If something comes up where I can go somewhere and play, you bet I'd listen."
Then this piece. Although a lefty, it might be worth the offer.
Apr 20 - If Womack's playing time doesn't pick up, he might ask the Reds for a trade, The Cincinnati Enquirer reports. "It will come to that point," he told the newspaper. "I don't know when."
GM Wayne Krivsky said no move is coming to ease the crowd at second base. "I don't have to do anything today," said Krivsky. "[Womack's] on the team. He's a valuable guy. Everybody here is here for a reason. If they're not playing, they've got to stay ready to play. You never know when they might come up late in a game."
Talk among scouts is that Womack will be released when Ken Griffey Jr. comes off the disabled list April 28.
And finally this.
Oh yeah plus this.Let's make a deal?
Apr 17 - If the Mariners don't trade Matt Lawton, Roberto Petagine may be dealt, the Tacoma News Tribune reports. At least two NL teams and the Rangers expressed interest this spring in Petagine.
Roberto Petagine- 2006 Salary: $450,000
So it's 1+1+1+1 = 4 (The number of our new fulltime starting 2B)
What do we think people? In the immortal words of Howie Mandel.

Finally a single-speed version of one of Nashbar's cyclocross bike that will help you dish out generous servings of your chro-mo mojo to the competition.
The Nashbar Single-Speed Cyclocross Bike has an abuse-proof chromoly frame and fork at its heart and soul. And while this steel beauty may pack more grams than its more svelte aluminum and carbon fiber brethren, what it truly inspires is confidence -- confidence in the handling, confidence in ride quality, and the confidence that when you hit the deck (and if you're doing 'cross right that fact is inevitable) your steel rig will still be in one piece and ready to rumble when you pick yourself up. The amount of punishment this frameset can withstand is simply astounding.
While some 'cross bikes take the super purist route and provide no water bottle cage braze-ons, we, on the other hand, believe differently. 'Cross bikes are the true all-arounders of the cycling world and just because it may not be de rigueur for world-class racing steads to have their thoroughbred lines blighted with braze-ons this steel stallion is intended to be ridden, and ridden a lot, in non-racing environs. And you know what? You're going to get thirsty. So we highly recommend slapping a cage on and heading out for all kinds of adventure. Come race day, just take that cage off (if you even so desire) and you're good to go.
Component-wise, feast your eyes on the slew of lightweight aluminum goodies that make this rig such an extraordinary value. Being a single-speed, though, there's not that much actually there -- these are the ultimate in simplicity after all -- but you'll find the aluminum crankset, and its 46T chainring, to be a super clean, reliable selection. The aluminum bars, stem and seatpost are all workman-like, too, in their utter reliability, simplicity, and durability.
In the vein of simplicity and reliability, nothing beats a solid pair of cantilever brakes to modulate your speed and these Tektro gems will treat you right. There's ample clearance to keep your wheels spinning freely in slime and grime and there's no annoying mushiness at all when you pull the levers -- just crisp, firm action. Swapping out pads is a snap, too, with their cartridge holders.
Alex alloy rims are nigh indestructible and the Kenda Small Block Eight 'cross tires are an awesome option for those with speed on the brain. Optimized for fast acceleration and hard-pack surfaces, they just rip it up when you apply power to the pedals as if you've got a small block V8 for legs.
Have we mentioned what a versatile all-arounder the Nashbar Single-Speed Cyclocross Bike is? As is you've got the goods to duke it out for podium honors on the 'cross course or simply head off-road for adventure and hijinks. Not one to be pigeonholed, however, this bike also makes a head-turning city or commuter bike as well--just sticker it up, maybe swap out the knobs for fatty slicks, and start assaulting the urban scape. But no matter what you do, we guarantee there'll be a mile-wide smile on your face.

So fun.
By Dylaneo
from New York
About Me Casual/ Recreational
Comments about Nashbar Single-Speed Cyclocross Bike:
I ordered the 58. I am 6'2" with a 34" inseam and the fit is excellent. I rode this bike stock for almost a year and it is a lot of fun. I have recently begun experimenting with some new parts including the Nashbar bullhorn bars since the drop bars weren't really my thing. I also put on a smaller chainring (42t) and freewheel so I could run a 3/32 chain. It is a fun bike that is easy to get on and ride for miles. Also great if you like messing around with new parts - it's a great template!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Bringing the value to the people

About Me Commuter
I set this steed up as a computer machine with the Nashbar cyclecross fork. This bike is sexy and smooth. Everything I want and nothing I don't. Great out of the box value, every time I roll past a Surly I smile inside.
Solid machine for errands, commuting,
By OSS706

Good for commute, errands, and entry level cyclocross training (dismount/remount, running, etc). Nice casual ride but still manuverable
Move Over Surly, make way for the Value King
By CMcDonald
from Austin Texas
Most bike shop bike cost too much for what you get, and most department store bikes are total high tinsel steel garbage, but this chromoly beauty is right in the middle. I'm totally sold on this bike.

If you're SS curious, buy this bike!
By South Bay SS
from Manhattan Beach, CA
About Me Avid Cyclist
I was looking for a SS bike to throw into the mix, so did some shopping around. I kept coming back to this one because I loved the stripped down look and the gearing seemed good for flattish terrain. Plus the price could not be ignored, it truly is the best deal out there right now. Delivery to my door in just a couple days. Assembly out of the box took less than half an hour. The wheels needed a couple slight adjustments but they were reasonably true. I swapped out the saddle since it wasn't great, and threw some SPD's on instead of the platform pedals that came with it but that was it in terms of upgrades. I'll probably change out the brake pads soon, but the rest of the set up on the bike is great.This bike has quickly become my go to. It's a blast to ride and is so smooth and quiet no one will hear you coming! If you are at all thinking about buying this I recommend you do because it's even better than I thought it would be.
Great no-frills bike
By Reflectorboy
from Tulsa, OK
This bike exceeded my expectations. I've been researching affordable (for me) SS bikes for over a year and finally pulled the trigger on this bike. Durably built, utilitarian components, and really nice looking. The only con is the brakes. Other reviewers have mentioned it...and they are right....they are poor! Looks like it is a matter of making a few simple adjustments, so no big deal. Bike is relatively light. 24 pounds even (as shipped, 58cm). Some extra specs that aren't mentioned (for those considering this bike)...170mm crank, 1/2 x 1/8 chain, and the stem is a 4-bolt rather than the 2-bolt pictured. Very happy with my purchase and can see myself putting in a lot of miles on it!!

Decent bike
By John
from Houston texas
Bought this bike primarily as a commuter/around town beater, so my review will not include anything about its merits as a cross bike. The gearing is fine for flat ground, easily 20ish MPH at a comfortable cadence. Frame and tires are great for rough roads, soaks up bumps and potholes easily, performs well on gravel. It's about 30 pounds with fenders, which the frame leaves ample room for. My commute is 32 miles round trip and it performs admirably.Assembly was simple, wheels were true.Pedals and saddle are garbage, replaced them immediately. Brakes aren't great, but they get the job done alright...skeptical about how they'd perform in "oh no!" moments. Will probably replace. Wish the stem was slightly longer, doesn't give much option for a more upright position. May replace in the future.Overall this bike is fine for commuting and around town. You will probably replace components to get it exactly as you'd like it, so the price is slightly misleading. I'd recommend picking it up on sale.
Great bang for the buck
By Jersey Brian

About Me Competitive Cyclist
For the money awesome bike. I got it on sale at 20% off. I was looking for a single speed for road training and to check out cyclocross. It's perfect. I'm no bike guru but I wouldn't recommend to someone with no mechanical skills, the brakes needed adjustments, the saddle looked so uncomfortable I switched it before I even sat on it, and just today I got some noise from the BB.(150 miles on it) I feel all of that is expected from this price range bike.it's quickly becoming my favorite bike and least expensive out of 5.
Cool SSCX
By Livnern
from Littleton, CO
Nice SSCX for the price and looks really cool. Great for commuting or dabbling in CX racing with a change in gearing. The bike is heavy but expected from steel and the price. The steel frame is a comfortable ride, especially on the road. The brakes definitely are the weakest link. It takes a lot of effort for a hard stop. May change out to mini-v brakes or try better quality pads. Really fun bike for the money.
Great, simple bike
By JC
from Tucson, AZ
See all my reviews
Very happy with this bike. I'm in no way a bike pro, so I wasn't looking for anything competition grade, but something that I could use to get around town for work or social purposes instead of taking the car. It's worked great so far. Town is flat for the most part, so a single speed isn't a problem (and it makes for less maintenance), and it can be changed to fixed gear if desired. Roads can be rough at times so the thicker cyclocross tires are useful. You can tell the components are not top grade, but for the price, it's a great value and you can always upgrade with the money you save (I haven't needed to yet). It's not a bike you can pick up with one finger, but it's actually pretty light and mobile. I like the nondescript design that has no names or markings on it, and the dark blue is a classy look. I would prefer less chrome and more matte, but it's not a deal breaker.

What if the Founding Fathers Saw Newtown?
Forget the Sandy Hook killer, but remember the Sandy Hook heroes such as 6-year-old Jesse Lewis, who had just seen his teacher shot when the gunman's rifle jammed.
Rather than use this moment to save himself, Jesse called to some fellow first graders who were standing off to the side, holding hands.
"Run!" he told them.
In the next moment, Jesse was killed, but the other youngsters escaped. Six of them, four boys and two girls, ended up outside a small yellow frame house nearby that is home to a psychologist named Gene Rosen.
"We can't go back to school," one of the boys reportedly told Rosen. "Our teacher is dead."
Rosen brought them inside and took out some stuffed animals he keeps for his grandchildren and began calling parents. One little girl sat clutching a toy dog, silently staring out a window until her mother came.
The last of the six survivors had been picked up when a woman appeared at the front door with a face that Rosen would later describe as frozen in terror. She had heard that some kids had come to the house and she hoped that maybe by some miracle her child was among them. The miracle was not to be. The child she named would be listed among the 20 kids who had been murdered along with six adults.
In the mid-afternoon, I found the house empty and still, the stuffed animals where the children had left them as they headed home, having escaped the killer thanks to the monumental courage of a tiny hero. I took note of a wood plaque that attested to the year the house had been built.
That was 30 years before the Declaration of Independence, 45 years before the ratification of the Second Amendment. I wondered what the founding fathers—whom the gun rights people love to invoke—would have said if they had happened to pass by here back then and been suddenly bestowed with the gift of prophesy.
They no doubt would have been horrified enough if they could have foreseen the 1999 murder of 12 students and a teacher by a pair of teen killers at Columbine High School in Colorado. I was there in the immediate aftermath of that shooting as well. I remember standing in the parking lot, staring at a maroon Acura Legend that 17 year-old Rachel Scott had driven to school before becoming the first to be murdered, shot numerous times as she ate lunch.
Her friends were now covering the car with flowers and ribbons, placing four candles on the trunk along with a Bible that the gusting wind blew open, rustling the pages as if an unseen hand were searching vainly for an answer. A classmate in jeans and a brown flannel shirt used a fingertip to inscribe a message into the road grime just above the rear bumper.
"We love you."
The biggest testament was the diversity of the mourners. A girl with Day-Glo red hair embraced a born-again Christian. An athletic-looking 16-year-old named Joe Dreaden explained that Rachel Scott had possessed a unique ability to reach across social cliques.
"Rachel was who she was," he said simply.
In the late afternoon, that great mix of friends formed a circle around the car, holding hands as they prayed. They then prepared to release three dozen balloons, grey and blue, the colors of their school. A balloon popped and the sound was enough like a gunshot to make everybody jump.
"That was not fun," one of the friends said.
The remaining 35 balloons sailed up into the fading daylight, vanishing as they were blown northward by a weather front that brought rain and then snow that the friend Dreaden later brushed away from the car, which Scott had been paying for by working in a sandwich shop. He uncovered a handwritten message another student had left.
"God danced the day these children were born. The Angels cried the day He carried them home."
Among the survivors who had run in terror from the lunchroom when the shooting erupted was Regina Rohde, then 14. She was 22 when I encountered her in 2007 at Virginia Tech in the aftermath of the mass shooting there. She had been preparing to head for class when she got word of the killings, and this time she was spared the sound of gunfire. She stood holding her small, brown dog, declining to say anything to the press about either shooting. She did allow that she had not looked at the images of himself this latest killer had express mailed to NBC as he embarked on a spree that left 32 dead.
"I haven't seen them," she said.
I went from her to a gun store by Virginia Tech's main gate where the killer was said to have ordered one of his pistols. I then proceeded to a nearby outdoor shooting range maintained by the U.S. National Park Service. The killer had practiced his marksmanship there, firing with the same methodical deliberation that would be recalled by the survivors. He is also believed to have filmed in the parking lot some of the images of himself he later sent to NBC.

Seaman inks professional contract with VBC Biel-BienneNovember 7, 2011
2010 BC Volleyball graduate continues her career in Switzerland
Brevard, N.C. - Brooke Seaman, 2010 Brevard College alum and former BC volleyball player, signed a professional contract with VBC Biel-Bienne, a member of the First Division Swiss National A-League located in Biel/Bienne, Switzerland.
Seaman's contract will run through the remainder of the 2011-2012 season, where she will most likely lineup as a middle hitter under Head Coach Pedro Carlino and his staff.
"It is very exciting to see an athlete improve so much over a four year period," commented BC Volleyball Head Coach Brenda Skeffington. "We talk about achieving your peak performance and striving for excellence every day and Brooke not only was extremely coachable but she took advantage of coming back in the spring season of her senior year to play and also came back to work camps just to improve. One of her favorite mottos was 'Believe and Achieve' and that is a great lesson in life. She truly took advantage of all the physical, mental, and spiritual lessons and took her game constantly to the next level. I am so proud of her!"
Seaman played at Brevard College from 2006-2009 and her name dots the Brevard College career record books as she finished her career third all-time on the BC kills list with 1,508 career kills, second all-time in attack percentage, hitting 29.0 percent from the floor and is the Tornados career leader in total blocks with 502.
Seaman recently sat down with Brevard College Athletic Media Relations Director Seth Montgomery and was able to provide comments and insight before she began her professional career.
How did you find out about the opportunity to go overseas?
I began building a rapport with the head coach of VBC Biel-Bienne, through a dear friend and mentor of mine, Stefani Eddins (North Carolina State University and Athletic Coast Conference (ACC) standout. I was considered for this season with VBC Biel-Bienne at the beginning of the recruiting cycle, but the club took a major budget cut. However, last Thursday morning, at approx. 7:30am, I received a message via Facebook from the head coach letting me know of a new opportunity due to changes in the roster. Talks of making it happen immediately started and by the end of the day, Pedro gave me the great news that the
y club board had approved the transfer. That Thursday night at approx. 9:30pm, I found out that my long dream would finally come true! Friday morning I woke up with the contract in my email, and the instructions to print and sign if I had accepted the terms. After conferring with my mentor Stefani, I promptly found my Brevard pen, and proudly signed the contract in the presence of my parents.
How long have you been working to get an opportunity like this?
My journey started when I began playing in 11th grade at F.W. Springstead High School here in Florida, almost 8 years ago. Once I started playing I made it my goal to go pro, and the first step was college. I have been training on my own for over a year now, playing semi-pro beach to better my individual defense and keep my other skills up.
How did your time here at Brevard College prepare you for the opportunity to play overseas?
Being a college student-athlete prepared me for the fact that volleyball will now be my job. While at Brevard College, I learned that alongside being a student, your sport is like a job in that it takes up the majority of your time. I was able to get used to sleeping, eating, and breathing my sport for an extended period of time. Not everyone can take on the day in and day out of a student-athlete, it really does define your college experience. So if anything, college got me ready for the idea of scheduling my day to day tasks and activities around volleyball, and all the training and preparation that comes with it. There is more time devoted to the sport than just being in the gym practicing and playing; there is training time in the weight room, film sessions and strategy talk, control of your diet, and many hours traveling to and from games. In college I was an art major as well as an athlete. I had to find time to devote my attention to both aspects while also being successful equally. With playing professionally, it will be my job to be a volleyball player. I will not have to balance school and work; I can devote all my time to work. I would like to thank Coach Brenda Skeffington for giving me the opportunity to play in college when no one else would. Coming out of high school with only two years of experience I had barely any stats, a horrible video, and I was an extremely raw player with big dreams. Coach made the risky move of giving me the opportunity to play for Brevard only after seeing a small glimpse of potential. I was not able to receive the proper training in high school, and finally I was able to get that at Brevard.
What would you like to say to your supporters here in Brevard as you look to continue your career?
Thank you so much for everyone who has ever supported me in my dream chasing in any way. The one thing I love the most about this dream of mine is that it is no secret how important it is to me, and everyone who knows me knows this. And so when everyone found out, there wasn't just an empty congratulation, I couldn't have done this without the support of friends, family, and complete strangers. To my supporters, I represent where I come from with pride. When I was in college, I proudly represented the red, white, and blue of the F.W. Springstead H.S. Eagles, and in Europe I will proudly represent the blue and white of the Brevard College Tornados, as well as the White Squirrel of the town of Brevard! :)
What will be your biggest obstacle that you foresee in your adaptation to Europe?
The culture. Not only will the language be different, but my entire lifestyle will change. From the food I eat to the clothes I wear, all the way down to the way I separate my trash. I do have a little experience with adaptation because I lived in Germany from the age of 4 months to almost 7 years, thanks to my father's career in the U.S. Army. It did help a little that I was in fact adapting from a European lifestyle to an American one.
What do you think you'll miss the most when you're overseas?
My family. We are so close. I will miss them terribly. My parents have supported me the most of out everyone in my life, and that support makes the emotional aspect of leaving not as hard as it could be.
What would you like to say in encouragement to the current Brevard College volleyball team?
Keep fighting! Brevard has been known to be a fighting institution. We were always the underdogs and upon entering the South Atlantic Conference we knew the challenge that lay ahead with the caliber of teams in the conference, with the top five breaking into the best teams in the southeast region of Division II. If it was thought that Brevard College could not succeed in the South Atlantic Conference we would never have been put in it in the first place. Brevard is part of the NCAA Division II program, and rightfully able to succeed. It takes a certain kind of strength and dedication to be part of a developing program from start to finish of one's college athletic career. You should all be proud of yourselves and what you have done to develop Brevard into the program it is now, and the program it will be for those who follow. GO BC!

Studio Visit
Terry WintersBy Yevgeniya Traps
Terry Winters works on the fifth floor of a Tribeca walk-up. It is a steep climb, but the space is serene and open, decorated with a few large Nigerian ceramics, a framed Weegee photograph, and of course Winters's own drawings and watercolors (he does his oil painting in a studio in the country). It is also remarkably free of clutter for an artist who describes himself as an "image junky." Winters spends a lot of time here—"I try to show up for the job," he remarks when I ask him about his daily practice—though he does not have much by way of routine, allowing the needs of the project to shape his day.
This year marks the thirtieth anniversary of Winters's first solo show at the Sonnabend Gallery. Now represented by Matthew Marks, Winters's work continues to be informed by the ideas that animated his very first exhibition. One constant—besides his New York studio, where he has worked from the very start of his career—has been his use of found images, which he faithfully collects and assembles into collages that serve as miniature laboratories for future paintings. But the collages, with their layers and juxtapositions, their invocation of modern technology (several feature visible URLs, linking to universities and laboratories) and natural forms, are also lovely in their own right.
