Vintage Automobile Signs
Before television, car companies relied on signs to do their promotional work. Some vintage automobile signs date to the 1920s, with bold slogans like "Ford: The Universal Car."
Most of these early automobile signs were enameled or porcelain signs, in which layers of colored, powdered glass were heated and fused onto an iron base. This technique came to the United States from Europe in the early 20th century and rose in prominence until World War II, when the iron in the signs was needed for the war effort. Untold numbers of porcelain signs were recycled for their base metal—after the war, porcelain-sign production seriously declined.
Porcelain automobile signs were made by a number of regional companies, including Veribrite Signs of Chicago. Some were rectangular while others were oval; some had graphics on only one side, while others had graphics on both. Some signs doubled as advertising clocks, designed with functionality in mind so that they would hopefully not be discarded as quickly.
In the 1930s, neon signs became fashionable, so many porcelain signs were adorned with the bright lights to make them stand out at night. In the following decade, with the coming of the war, many sign manufacturing companies switched from porcelain to painted metal and tin. These signs were cheaper to manufacture and ship.
Car companies utilized signs in a variety of places where they would be seen by customers, but the prime locations were repair shops and dealerships. While the messaging in Coca-Cola signs and those of other beverage makers needed only to promise refreshment, automobile signs had to reassure hesitant customers that their prized possessions were about to be delivered into competent hands. One very common Ford sign, for example, bore the slogan "Genuine Ford Parts"; a Buick sign read simply, "Authorized Service." Some dealers' used-car lots had to instill confidence without overpromising. Thus, signs in Chevy used-car lots read simply, "OK."
Ford signs may be the most common among surviving examples, but collected brands also include Buick, Cadillac, Chevy, Dodge, Oldsmobile, Packard, Porsche, and Studebaker.

SKANDA Kryptek Camo Ballistic Canvas Seat Covers Part #CSCKT01FD9543 Customer Reviews
8 Customer Reviews
Great for what they are meant to do
Reviewed by Calvin S (Selma, AL) Reviewed for a 2015 Ford F-150 — Mar 05, 2016 9:14 AM
The seat covers are great for resisting water and keeping the seats protected from dirt and mud. They even protect against wear and tear from the knife clips in my pants that get in and out of the truck all day. Fit isn't perfect, but is snug enough to protect the seat well. It even has slot for arm rest that my truck doesn't have.

Great product! Auto anything website was very easy to select the product that fit my truck's interior. They estimated a three week wait time till shipping, but I received my seat covers within one week!! Very pleased with the quality of these seat covers- tough material, durable, and a pretty comfortable fabric which should break-in nicely over the years. These covers were much easier to install than other reviews lead you to believe. Highly recommend!
Just OK.
Reviewed by Doug B (Wheatland, WY) Reviewed for a 2016 Toyota Tundra — Feb 16, 2016 12:09 PM
These seat covers are just ok. The Kryptek camo patterns are awesome, but the material seems pretty thin. Time will tell on wear. As for fit, they left me wanting more. Seem to be pretty sloppy for a seat cover that you spend this kind of money for.
Well worth it
Great Seat Covers
Reviewed by Robert C (Clearfield, UT) Reviewed for a 2001 Ford F-250 — Jan 19, 2015 2:28 PM
I received my new seat covers as scheduled. The Ballistic Canvas material is exactly what I was hoping for. A tough, durable material that I hope will last for years of me sliding in & out of the driver's seat. The fit was great. The only thing I didn't care for is the material used at the bottom of the seat back for the Velcro to attach to. Overall, love the seat covers & I would order them again.
Sweetness !
Don't waste the money
Reviewed by Sean F (TWENTYNINE PALMS, CA) Reviewed for a 2013 Ford F-150 — Mar 12, 2014 9:05 PM
These would have been zero if it was an option. I had to wait a month to get them which is understandable kinda however console and front seats didn't fit right and the head rest covers were very loose. Just get a Walmart special to protect seats. 500 plus dollar should get way better fit and quality.

Approximately 140 golfers, including as many as 20 professionals, will compete at this year's Amherst Open Golf Tournament next week.
AMHERST – The signature event at the Amherst Golf Club is back with the Amherst Open and Carter's Sports Cresting Pro-Am Shootout next week.
A group of 30 professionals and amateurs will take to the course on Tuesday to compete for cash and prizes in the nine-hole shootout that begins at 5 p.m. By the sixth tee there will only be six golfers remaining with two eliminated on that hole and single golfers eliminated before a champion is crowned on the ninth hole.
The Amherst Open, sponsored again this year by Archway Insurance and Tantramar Chevrolet Buick GMC Ltd., kicks off early Wednesday with a field of 140 professionals and amateurs with a champion crowned on Thursday evening.
"It's going to be another very competitive event," Amherst club head professional Frank McShane said. "We have a very strong field this year."
Among those returning to this year's Amherst Open is Kevin Dugas from the Links at Montague in Halifax. Dugas won the open on numerous occasions. Other professionals coming include Elliott Isenor of Fox Harb'r, Dan McNeely of Ontario and Tim McCullum from Fredericton.
McNeely has played on the New England tour against a number of PGA golfers, while Amherst club assistant professional Michael Archibald, who finished second in a playoff at the recent assistants championship, will also be competing.
McShane said there is another strong field of amateurs including last year's Amherst men's club champion Matt Cormier, multiple men's club championship winner Gary Carter Sr., Francois Hebert of Royal Oaks, Tom Burge and Kris Leask of Sussex, N.B.
Last year, Josh Landine of Frederiction edged Cormier in a playoff to win the open. Landine led after day one with a 67 and shot a 77 on Day 2, while Cormier had two rounds of 72.
The Amherst club pro said the Amherst Open is one of the final last stroke play tournaments remaining in the region. One of the reasons is the excellent, challenging course as well as the fact the sponsorship money from the major sponsors and 34 other sponsors goes back to the golfers in winnings.
"We couldn't do this event without the support of companies like Archway Insurance and Tantramar Chevrolet and those other companies that sponsor holes and help us out in many different ways," McShane said. "We also couldn't do it without the many volunteers who come out to work on the course during the shootout and the tournament itself."
McShane said superintendent Peter McCabe have done a tremendous job getting the course ready for the tournament.

Stocks closed the year on a robust note Friday, helped by the yen's further decline, with the Nikkei average hitting a fresh 21-month closing high.
On the final trading day of 2012, the Nikkei 225 closed up 72.20 points, or 0.70 percent, at 10,395.18, its highest finish since March 10, 2011 — the eve of the Great East Japan Earthquake. The benchmark index rose for the fourth straight session.
For the whole of 2012, the Nikkei soared 1,939.83 points, or 22.94 percent, posting the first annual gain in three years and the fastest rate of growth since 2005. It was also the first time since 1999 that the Nikkei has marked a year-to-date high on a closing basis on the final trading day of the year.
The Topix rose 5.71 points, or 0.67 percent, to end at 859.80. Over the past year, it surged 131.19 points, or 18.01 percent.
After opening higher, buoyed by buying of export-oriented issues on the back of the weaker yen, the Nikkei seesawed around 10,400 for most of the session.
The yen fell to around ¥86.50 to the dollar, its lowest level in more than 28 months, and hit a 17-month low against the euro in Tokyo trading Friday morning on expectations of aggressive fiscal policy and monetary easing under the new Liberal Democratic Party administration. The yen's continued decline raised expectations of an improvement in corporate earnings of domestic firms, brokers said.
"There are strong expectations of further rises (of stock prices)," said Toshiyuki Kanayama at Monex Inc., adding that foreign investors and individual domestic players have been actively purchasing shares.
The Tokyo market will be closed from Monday through Thursday for the year's end festivities and New Year's holidays.
Winners outnumbered losers 821 to 732 in the first section. Volume fell to 2.891 billion shares from Thursday 3.469 billion.
U.S. Treasuries buoy JGBs
Japanese government bonds bounced back on the last trading day of the year Friday, following a rise in U.S. Treasuries overnight.
The lead March futures contract on 10-year JGBs ended up 0.15 point from Thursday at 143.65 on the Tokyo Stock Exchange. Volume fell to 24,197 contracts from 34,405.
In late interdealer trading in cash JGBs, the yield on the latest 326th 10-year issue with a 0.7 percent coupon stood at 0.795 percent, down from 0.800 percent Thursday.

Dinner: Pepe's Café
Atmospheric little shack that's the oldest restaurant (est. 1909) in Key West. Head here primarily for the Key lime pie—pleasingly tart, garnished with whipped cream, and served in a bowl. 806 Caroline St., Key West; 305/294-7192; pie for two $8.

Plant the Future: Argentina-born Paloma Teppa eschews traditional cut flowers in favor of sculptural compositions of orchids, succulents, and even butterfly cocoons. 2511 N.W. Second Ave.; 305/571-7177.
Wynwood Kitchen & Bar: Chef Miguel Aguilar puts his stamp on the Latin-inflected menu, but the art-filled interiors are as much of a draw as the food. 2550 N.W. Second Ave.; 305/722-8959; dinner for two $70.
Wynwood Walls: It's part free outdoor gallery, part Disney World for grown-ups at this open-air art park next to Wynwood Kitchen & Bar. —Eleni N. Gage

Second Class Citizen
The other day the medicine sublimed from a public hospital
The other day we saw over the television the statesman
Promising to stop insanity in the medical sector
And stop the deaths over the floors of hospital corridors and rusted squawky beds
The other day as hospital corridors smelled of fresh and dirty wounds
We saw the statesman throwing away the daughter to bring forth his grandson in Europe
The other day the statesman purchased guns with bigger nozzles
And I saw a helpless student in the streets die from wounds injected by scary protectors of statesman

4. Left side walk to right side walk to cross
Previously our patterns have started sideways to the leader's left with him then walking forward outside his partner on her right side. Here we begin the same way as in Figure 3: he starts sideways left with his L foot, closes and then changes in place to his R foot & the cross foot system. The follower starts to the right with her R foot and again as above is not led to change weight.
Leader's part: The departure is that the leader now walks forward on the follower's LEFT side (1st picture). As he steps on his R foot he pivots to the left, leading the left turn that enables him to take his next step forward on his partners right side (2nd picture). As in the last move he then leads the follower to accelerate and syncopate her cross. The leader's steps are all slows after his initial side L together R , where he has the choice of stepping only on 1, 1 and 3, or 1 and 2, then forward on 1.
This figure may be done with many different degrees of turn at the moment of the leader's change from the L side to R side of the follower. The 90ş turn shown takes the couple neatly around a corner. A very small turn would allow the couple to proceed forward, and a very sharp 180ş turn would of course take them counter the line of dance. In the case of the leader's small turn the follower will feel almost nothing to disturb her backward walk , but in the cases of the 90ş or 180ş pivot she will feel the lead for a back ocho*.
Follower's part: She starts side R, then on her back step L the follower must twist her upper body to reflect her partner, who has started forward on her left side (1st picture). On her back R step she will be led to pivot and step back again L, at which point she will find the leader on her right side and twist to face him there (3rd picture). On her next step, back R she'll begin the accelerated cross, her only syncopation in this sequence.
Note: This figure demonstrates the upper body twist that is a very effective tool for retaining connection with your partner in all dances in the tango family. As the leader walks on the follower's left he twists left to face her, then harder left to lead the turn, and finally twists R out to walk on her R side. She reflects each twist of his torso, always seeking to make her torso parallel with his.

Encouraging runs by Kerry teams at crosscountry championship
KERRY were well represented at the national Intercounties and Juvenile Cross-country Championships in Ratoath, Co. Meath on Sunday last.
The senior women's team were the surprise packets of these championships when finishing a brilliant third behind Dublin and Cork. The foundations for this success were laid by Laura Crowe who finished an excellent eighth of the huge field in this very testing 8K event. Her An Ríocht club mate Niamh O'Sullivan ran strongly for 20th position with Maria McCarthy (Farranfore/Maine Valley) 21st and Deirdre Enright (An Ríocht) 54th.
The men's team who were competing in this event for the first time in a number of years also performed very well.
Their leading finisher was Cian Murphy (Iveragh) in 45th position, who was well supported by Arthur Fitzgerald and George McCarthy (Farranfore/ Maine Valley) James Doran and Darren Burke (An Ríocht) and Robert Purcell (Gneeveguilla). Their points tally was good enough to win their 'C' section from Tipperary and Down. They were placed 7th overall which represents a great result.
Brendan O'Connor, An Ríocht, was a scoring member of the bronze medal winning Munster team in the U-18 6,000m.
Fiachra Clifford was also a member of the Munster team who won Bronze in the U-14 4,000m when finishing 18th.
Others to run well was Alan Donoghue (An Ríocht) U-14, Darragh Browne (Lios Tuathail) U-16, David Kavanagh (Tralee Harriers) U-18 and Niamh De Hora and Jack O'Sullivan both Farranfore/ Maine Valley in their respective Junior event.

A conversation with Sheikh Kafumba Konneh
By Abdoulaye W. Dukule
Editor's Note: He is probably one of the most familiar faces in the ongoing Liberian peace process. His popularity goes beyond traditional, political and tribal boundaries. With a group of religious leaders from various faiths, he participated in the creation of the Interfaith Mediation Committee at the onset of the Liberian civil war, back in 1990. Their efforts led to the ECOWAS intervention, with the creation of ECOMOG, which has now become a model for peacekeeping the world over. Sheikh Kafumba F. Konneh, of the Inter-Religious Council of Liberia is currently in the United States, to attend the World Conference on Peace and Religion, organized in the aftermath of the September 11, 2001, events. He is also meeting with Liberians in the United States to talk about the need for peace and reconciliation. We talked with him about issues and events in the country.
How is the situation back home?
Things are very bad, to say it bluntly. The country is now going through very unfavorable conditions. Our economy is in shambles. The reconciliation process is stagnant. There is a mounting and rampant suspicion between the government and the opposition. People are divided along ethnic and geographical lines. For example, there is a war going on in one part of the country (Lofa), and the rest of the country seems not be concerned about it. That is very bad. It seems that there is a lack of national conscience. This is a very small country. When something happens somewhere, it affects everyone and we must be united to stop it. But we are divided and this is not good... The country is in a very bad shape. We need to do something, quickly, as a people to move from where we are.
How can we move forward?
I think we need to have the courage to re-examine what happened in our country in the past 12 years and go from there. What did we get from the war? Did the war bring us prosperity and happiness? Did it create a new society that we can be proud of? In my humble opinion, the answers are No. The war demoralized our youth, it traumatized the elders, it broke down families, and villages disappeared. People have turned their back to each other. The rich and strong have become poor and the poor have become destitute. People are hardly surviving. Sectionalism has never been stronger. Whatever we held on to and that made Liberia a country broke down in pieces. Now we are at a juncture where we must all look back and decide where to take the country. That would only be possible if we are all united, committed and working genuinely for the same cause. Can we continue on the path of war and violence? No, it would lead into more disasters. We need to find a way to chart a new course for our country. The war destroyed the social fabric of our country and we have to look at that fact in the face and take measures that would help us restructure our national life, put the pieces together and move on.
Your organization has been very active in the peace process from the onset in 1990. What are you doing now to help chart that new course?
We are working on several levels. But before going into those details, I want to say that when we started back in 1990, we were just a group of religious leaders who came together to try to find a solution to the war, on a ad-hoc basis. We were aware of the fact that in Liberia, like in many other places, people hold to their beliefs to overcome problems. In our case, we always think that Islam, Christianity and African traditions play an important role. So we tried to approach the conflict from these angles and they all led us to a negotiated settlement. After the elections, we realized that the end of the war did not mean the end of the process. We have therefore decided to create a formal entity called the Inter-Religious Council of Liberia. We have assigned ourselves three areas of intervention:
a) Human rights issues. We don't think there can be peace in any society without the respect for human rights. There can be no harmony if there is no justice and justice demands the respect of basic human rights for all people;
b) Conflict mediation and conflict resolution. There is still a war going on. Beyond that, there are many conflicts in our society today that need to be resolved, that need to be ironed out so that the country can move forward;
c) Humanitarian issues. The recovery process of our nation would largely depend on how well we understand the basic needs of our population and find a way to deliver basic services. We are now involved in many schools, we are
trying to revitalize health care centers and we talk to every group in the society and make our opinion known about national issues.
You have mentioned the war in Lofa. Has your organization tried to intervene in that crisis?
We have tried. Right after the first shots were fired, we went public and said we knew there was trouble brewing in Lofa/Nimba area. We work at the grass-root level so we see problems and talk to people before things become public. We started to interact with tribal leaders in Lofa. We tried to find out whom we needed to talk to and how to start a dialogue. We went to Lofa and then to Nimba. We held meetings with villagers. But the government stepped in. First Minister Edward Kessely and then Senator Kekura Kpoto went to Lofa. They came back and said they had taken care of the problem. The government told us to stay away. But the fighting kept going on and we asked the government to let us go in. We could talk to people from various backgrounds. We have made contacts with religious leaders of Guinea and Sierra Leone and asked them to talk to their leaders. We had a first meeting in 1999 and we are meeting in early December in Monrovia to review the situation and adopt a common position.
Some people in government have said that Islamic fundamentalists are behind the war...
That's is a fallacy. That's a lie. That is like trying to give a different color to people. I don't think there is such a thing as Islamic fundamentalism in Liberia. And nobody that I know, Christian or Muslim is waging a religious war in Liberia. The people who are in Lofa are not fighting for Islam or for any other religious belief. That kind of thinking makes it hard to find a solution, because people refuse to face the real issues. We never had religious problems in Liberia and I consider it a failure to blame religion for our political shortcomings.
How are your relations with the government? Is the President open to your ideas?
We talk to people in government at various levels. We meet with the president whenever it is possible. Sometimes we seek him out and at times he invites us to talk and discuss issues of importance. I must however say here that there is a serious problem in Monrovia. There is a suspicion between the government and the rest of the people, be it in the opposition and religious groups. There is what Honorable Alexander Zulu, from the Executive Mansion called the Gbarnga Connection, at the time of the appointment of the Vice President. It seems that on one hand you have the whole country and on the other side you have what is called "the Gbarnga group." This is not healthy for our country. Once someone becomes president, he must be leader for the whole country, not for one small group of people. This is a serious problem for reconciliation and national governance. While the government talks about national reconciliation, many of its actions point to sectionalism. Chapter 3 of the constitution says that the primary responsibility of the government is to unify the country. We just came out of a war that tested everything, the government must go beyond itself to create national unity and reconciliation and not just feel responsible for the welfare of a small group. Our country is in dire need for unity and reconciliation and it is not a good thing to give the impression that one group is better than the rest of the country.
Let's talk about the sanctions...
When people talk about sanctions, they see a stigma. Sanctions are a stigma. Once people hear the word "sanction", it rings a bell. For serious investors, it means "don't go there." And that is what has been happening to the country. The sanctions are having a very negative effect on the country and on the common people. As you know, sanctions were imposed on diamonds and we know government does not mine diamonds. It is concessions, local corporations or private individuals who do mining and these are the ones affected by the sanctions on diamonds and not the government.
How about the travel ban on government officials?
Well, at that level, the sanctions probably put a cap on the elaborate expensive travels by government officials. But in the same vein, because they can't travel, government officials can't interact with the international community and that put an end to even the smallest interest some people may have in our country. So we can say that the sanctions are not helping an already desperate situation.
Some people in government have talked about postponing the 2003 elections because of the war. What do you think?
That's a difficult issue. Can and should we have elections while there is a war going on and the country is not stable? On the other hand, if the elections are postponed because of the war, it means the government will have to stay in power. And here comes the problem, the current government was democratically elected under special circumstances but it was not constitutionally elected. The constitution calls for one- man one -vote and the past elections were done according to special arrangements. Therefore, this government cannot legally evoke the constitution to stay in power beyond the end of its mandate, whatever the circumstances may be. We think postponing the elections will only heighten the tension in the country. We would like to provide a forum to political parties and opinion leaders to come together and discuss all impeding difficulties and lessen the tension in country. But definitely, postponing the elections will not be a positive move.
How do you see the future?
The future of Liberia will be what we make of it. We need to go beyond our division and past anger at each other. Every Liberian must examine his or her actions and see where he or she needs to make adjustment. We need to look at all this from a very objective position and do it for the good of the nation. We must do so with the full knowledge that only us can make Liberia what it ought to be. We must reconcile. We must forgive each other and admit our mistakes and go on. We need to get out of this terrible situation and it won't happen until we realize that we are one people and one nation.
Are you currently meeting with specific groups of Liberians in the United States?
Yes and I think this is important. When we talk about national unity, we must first realize that our own tribes and religious groups, as well as villages and other communities are divided. Therefore, before going to the national level, we must start by putting together small pieces, reconcile families, churches, mosques and communities and go from that level. We have to start with our own families. How can you talk about uniting the country when people in your own community don't speak? The war has created frictions and deep wounds in every part of the society and we think that we must go around, reconciling our own villages and from there, we can unite the whole country.
What message do you have for Liberians in the United States?
A very simple one: let's forgive each other and do whatever we can to help our country rise from the ashes of the war. As long as we keep casting blame on each other for what happened, we will never go ahead. We must all re-examine our recent past, look at the bad things we did, admit our faults and move on. We must also remember the good we did and do more of that. Liberia is one small country but it is big enough for everyone. There is enough for every one. There is no reason why we can't come together and be a people. The rest of the world is moving fast and we are stranded in anger, despair and blame. We must reconcile and to do, we must look at each other as human beings and respect each other. So, our message is really brief, peace, reconciliation and respect.

A warehouse gym in Fremantle is a long way from a mountain top in the Himalayas but for Queensland teenager Alyssa Azar it is one step closer.
Early next year, at 18, she plans to become the youngest Australian to climb Mt Everest.
To get herself in peak physical and mental condition, Alyssa came to WA recently for an intensive three-week course at The Mill.
"The harder I train when I'm here in Australia, the better I'm going to be when I'm on the mountain," Alyssa said.
The military foundation of the gym pushed Alyssa to her limits, with as much focus on attitude as ability.
"You have no external motivation on a mountain, so you've got to make sure your mind is very focused," she said.
Alyssa uses a gas mask while training to limit her oxygen intake. This is to prepare her for Everest's extreme altitude — up to 8848m.
"The goal of it is to get used to having limited oxygen intake and still working at a high rate," she said.
On her last session at the gym, she was taken through a range of rigorous routines. She started by lifting herself up from the ground while holding a heavy punching bag. Later, she pulled a weighted sled across the gym floor.
Outside, Alyssa took a brisk walk while wearing the gas mask and carrying two kettle bells.
Back inside the gym, she removed the mask before resuming training, ending with an intense stint on the cycling machine.
The exercises are extreme and the trainers tough, but it is just a morsel of what Alyssa will experience on Everest.
Alyssa's daring lifestyle started at an early age, encouraged by her dad Glenn Azar, who used to guide tracks across the Kokoda Trail.

Gupta, Ramesh P (1974) A technique for flow measurement in separated flow. Technical Report. National Aeronautical Laboratory, Bangalore, India.Full text available as:

A new three-tube pressure-probe is developed for measurement of flow direction, and dynamic and total pressure in two-dimensional separated flows. Unlike all earlier probes, it is asymmetric. The arrangement of side tubes, which is responsible for the asymmetry, allows it to be used in thin shear layers and close to wall, where earlier probes tended to be inaccurate. A pitching apparatus is designed to align the probe in the flow direction. Measurements with the new probe are compared with classical pitot tube measurements and well-known emperical laws in zero-pressure-gradient turbulent boundary-layer and fully developed pipe flow. The comparison shows that the new probe can be effectively used, with uniform flow calibration, in a shear flow outside a region of about two probe-tube diameter thickness from a wall. The capability of the new probe in surveying complex flow fields is demonstrated by measurements in wall-jet induced separation.
