The MGA With An Attitude
Tuesday, November 1, 2016:
Time for some work on Dan's MGA today. The original turn signal flasher unit had threaded holes in the connection tabs where the harness wires would be screwed in place. The replacement flasher unit had plain holes that were too small for the original screws, not threaded, and came with a few very small screws with hex nuts. No one wants to be fiddling with miniature wrench and screwdriver (while losing the tiny screws), so we opted to install a headlight connector as a plug-in socket for the flasher unit. That was quite easy, and came out well in execution.
Next up was to refurbish the pneumatic time delay turn signal switch, which was tricky enough as a stand alone project. But the wood dash panel had all round holes, where the original steel dash had punched "D" shape or double-D holes to secure non-rotation of the devices. My creative solution to prevent rotation of the turn signal switch was to drill and tap a #10-32-UNF hole in the front face of the switch body, and drill a matching clearance hole in the dash panel, and secure the switch with a #10-32 screw. Very nice.
Wednesday, November 2, 2016:
The MGA fuel pump was mounted far too low in the chassis, about even with bottom of the frame, and we wanted to fix that. It turned out only the mounting bracket was upside down, which looked easy enough to correct. This required a considerable amount of push and shove and crow bar work to reform the steel pipes (one of which had a kink in it courtesy of the DPM). But in the end we succeeded. Just keep repeating to yourself, "Failure is not an option". We followed this up with a flow test of the fuel feed, finding nearly 15 gallon per hour free flow at the hose to the carburetors, so I recon the kink in the steel pipe is not a problem. That MGA is now a pretty sweet ride with everything working and I recon it will be a reliable driver car.
Another parts package arrived, so back to the locker to retrieve the TD. The parking brake didn't work, so jack
up the rear for a look underneath. A little prying on the levers at the wheels verifies the parking brakes work at the wheels, so it looks like the cable is jammed so the hand lever cannot pull up. Bummer. May need to replace the cable(s), but that would be a job for another day.
The tricky chore today was to get all of the dash lamps working when we didn't have the last couple of bulb sockets. That's when I got creative and repaired one of the old sockets using a brass tube wire end and a plastic sleeve from a crimp-on wire terminal to be soldered onto the wire. It was a bit of a pain, but it saved waiting for another parts order and we were finished today. TA-DA! New harness installed, and the TD back on the road.
But, we still have some daylight, so not finished yet. Next endeavor was a 20+ mile 30 minute drive to the east end of Columbia to visit Elliott Cox who has a nice Jaguar E-type with tri-carbs installed. Very difficult to start, and rough running when it does run. I inverted three throttle arms to put the adjusting nuts on top (as a matter of convenience). Otherwise not too tricky to balance and tune the tri-carbs. They were initially adjusted very lean, which is why it was hard to start and had very rough idle. I couldn't connect the choke cable because it was badly frayed, so that will have to wait for another day. Otherwise it now runs like a Jaguar, and the owner is very happy.
Did I tell you he likes Jaguars? There are at least five of them here.
Last task for the evening was a short ride to retrieve another one so it could be home with it's siblings after dark. He's not sure why he has the BMW, but the Buick Riviera is a personal reminder of earlier years. He knows he has too many toys, and he intends to thin out the fleet some.
Now that play time was over, I had to catch up with several days worth of photos and notes. Also last game of the World Series baseball, tuned in at mid game. Go Cubs! That killed a couple hours more. Likely no sleep tonight, but I did get caught up with business (sort of).
Thursday, November 3, 2016:
We cut out of Lexington, SC by mid day with an afternoon WiFI stop in Milledgeville, Georgia. Mature cotton fields were reminding us that it is by now Fall in the deep south. Got a text message, followed by a phone call, followed by a redirection, and by late night we were hovering on the outskirts of Albany, GA in preparation for next morning's appointment.
Friday, November 4, 2016:
Mid morning visit with Bill Waller in Albany, GA. Bill has two MGB, the '79 with engine out for rebuild, and the '69 which has not run for several years, but wanting to get going again now. Notice the leaves all around? Are we getting a message here? For now, 75dF in November is a bit strange for a Chicago bloke.
Fresh fuel in the tank, fully charged battery, switch on, but fuel pump was not running. Quick check with a test light shows no power to the pump. Quick to apply a jumper wire to make the pump run (will trace the circuit later), after which the pump ran but didn't pump fuel. Disconnect input hose, blow on hose, hear bubbles in the tank indicating presence of fuel. Apply suction to the hose to draw fuel (at least it was fresh fuel and didn't taste too bad), reconnect hose to pump, after which it leaks copious amounts of fuel. Cut off frayed end of hose and reconnect, after which it leaks "somewhat less". Disconnect hose from filter in engine bay, and it moves fuel forward. Reconnect hose on filter, but then the pump is gushing fuel on the ground. Bummer. Snatch a replacement fuel pump from the magic trailer, and install it (with a filter on the inlet side), after which the filter up front is gushing at the inlet pipe (cracked plastic filter). Remove front filter and connect hose to carburetor feed pipe, and we finally had fuel in the carburetors. Poke around with the test light to find disconnected snap connector in the engine bay, reconnect it, and then the fuel pump runs with the ignition switch on.
Crank to start, but no fire. No spark from coil (due to severely corroded ignition contact points). Emery paper the points to get good grounding contact, and we had good strong spark from the coil, but still no fire. The ignition rotor looks good, so check continuity of the HT wires. Found no metal terminals on the distributor ends or coil end of the HT wires, and the HT wires showing open circuit. No spare HT wires on hand, and none found at the local stores. Bummer, the first dead end for the day. That close to having it running. Order HT wire set and a spare ignition rotor.
Next issue was no brakes. No fluid in the master cylinder so put some in there. Pump, pump, but no pressure. Try bleeding the LR wheel cylinder, pump, pump, but no flow at all.
Get a trigger pump oil can and small hose to inject fluid at the bleed nipple. Pump, pump, pump, but no go, no bubbles at the master cylinder reservoir, no fluid or air getting through. Try again at RR wheel with same results. Bummer again, second dead end for the day. Most likely a clogged brake hose, so order up three new hoses (and also a clutch hose while we're at it). Making the work list for another day. Check around the car and make more notes. I recon that's about all we can do until the new parts arrive. Call it a day.
Back on WiFi for a while, then move on. By late might we were nesting in Columbus, GA in preparation for next appointment.
Saturday, November 5, 2016:
Mid morning visit to the personal shop of Phillip Clark in Columbus, GA. Been here before, but there seems to be another parts car now, a GT this time. Phil needs a little help with his MGB driver car.
And there Phil's MGB restoration project, along with the Firebird V6 engine to make it go, sitting pretty much where it was last time we were here.
Before we got too busy, I wanted to check out his MG SA under restoration. I know it's here somewhere. Apparently this is an MG SA: Frame, engine, rear axle,
front wings, rear wings, body cowlings and tunnel,
Wood central body buck, fuel tank, dash panel, exhaust parts, bumpers, running boards,
rear body buck, firewall with tool box, front body cowl with part of windscreen frame.
Yeah, it looks like an MG SA to me. Makes us wonder if Phil will live long enough to get it all back together.
We were just getting a good start on Phil's rear brakes, got the drum off, things disassembled, and a few parts back together. By then a few more friends had arrived, and there was a call for lunch break. The MGA 1600-MK-II (with a failing fuel gauge) belongs to Larry Stephens in Columbus. There was a 1979 MGB belonging to Dave Arwood from Smith's Station, Alabama (timing chain reset last time we were here). And also a 1964 MGB belonging to Jim Walton in Columbus. After five for lunch we were back to work in short order.
Once the rear brakes were reassembled we had another problem. The brake shoes are properly nested with the return springs behind as they should be. The tension spring at bottom (in front) is the return spring for the parking brake lever, installed as it should be. But notice the large notches in the lever just behind the lever return spring.
The lever is fully returned and at rest in normal position with the cable pull end of the lever nearly touching the brake backing plate. Problem is those notches in the lever leave way too much pre-travel clearance. The lever will move through full pull travel before it comes into contact with the slot in the shoe, meaning the brake shoes do not move, and the parking brake will not work. Duh? The brakes should work otherwise, so put it all back together and come back to the parking brake problem another time. Put new lever assemblies on the next parts order list.
Then we moved on to a hydraulic problem. The clutch system was slowly losing fluid so it needed periodic refill. Clutch master cylinder and slave cylinder were new with minimal miles in service. Fluid had to be leaking somewhere. The clutch slave cylinder appeared to be dry all over, so we pulled the cover off of the master cylinders. Sure enough, the nearly new clutch master cylinder had a small fluid leak at the pushrod end making the rubber dust cover drip. This was the less expensive "aftermarket" unit (about 1/4 the price of the OEM part). Bummer. Order another one, and return the defective part. Meanwhile we disassembled the older used clutch master cylinder to see if it might be suitable for rebuild NO such luck. The piston was stuck, had to be hammered loose and forced out with compressed air, end the bore was rusty where it would likely defeat the outboard fluid seal. Rather discouraged all around, call it a day, but generally satisfied that we made some good progress.
Back to WiFi, finally finished posting the Chicago club November newsletter on line, and managed to make a hard drive data backup (which happens very two months or so).
Sunday, November 6, 2016:
Back on Standard Time, the sun popped up early but it will be dark around 6-pm. To the rest of the world it looks like we have a day off. But to me that means play time is over and I have to get back to work. Catching up with a few days of photos and notes, email, couple of tech questions, some contacts and planning for the next couple of days. Man, it got dark early. I can hear my sun tan fading already.
Monday, November 7, 2016:
Dave Arwood's MGB fuel gauge problem may be a non-problem. Apparently he has only driven the car a couple hundred miles, and he tends to top off the fuel after a hundred miles. So it is likely that the fuel gauge never dropping below 1/2 tank may be normal, and possibly even accurate. So scratch that visit. Another possible Monday appointment was delayed in Atlanta for another day, so sit still and hang out on WiFi today.
Tuesday, November 8, 2016:
Meet Keith Farley for lunch. He's diving his BMW again, having had the head planed to get a new head gasket to seal. He will be otherwise busy for another day, so push that appointment down the list.
Next up is a visit with Ray Mobley in rural Hamilton, GA, about 15 miles north of Columbus. He met us "at the gate" (no number or post box) to escort us up a winding dirt road through the woods to his workshop. This place used to be a small house in sorry state of disrepair. Ray ultimately tore it down an built the workshop on the same cement pad, with some vague idea that it might be turned back into a cabin sometime later.
Today his 1967 Volvo 122 needed a bit of help. It could be made to run, marginally on two cylinders while the rear carburetor float bowl was overflowing profusely. Swapping needles in the float valves did not help. After some investigation I swapped in a good used float valve to stop the gusher. Next issue was no fuel getting from the float chamber into the rear carb main jet. Clean the float bowl best as possible but still no flow to the main jet. These are SU HS6 carbs with external hose between float chamber an main jet, so we needed to remove the rear carb for access.
We had to disconnect the fuel tube from the float chamber, then run a wire through all the ports to clear trash out of the chamber elbow and out of the flex tube to restore fuel flow. Also a bit of lube on the fuel jets to get those loosened up. That done, got it reassembled, fired it up, and gave it a quick tune up. Then it ran well, but we found two molested choke cables in the process, so put those parts on the wish list, along with nylon grommets for the throttle link rocker shaft.
They had been working on the brakes for a while, installing a new master cylinder and attempting to bleed the hydraulics. Results so far are rear brakes locked up, and it was getting late, so leave that issue for another day.
Closing up shop for the night, we toddled on down the road a few blocks to check out a couple more of Ray's toys. He has another Volvo 122, this one a station wagon, and a 1972 MGB. We may take these matters up another day. For tonight back to WiFi and email check, and we'll see what might pop up later.
Wednesday, November 9, 2016:
Used an available day to finish reviewing the last year of our tour to include shops we have visited into the Shops list. Also marked all of the shops and clubs we have already visited so we know which ones we still need to visit. Ir was a long day's work.
Thursday, November 10, 2016:
Spend most of this day listing and organizing and mapping Shops in Georgia, as we intend to go shop hopping beginning tomorrow. Heading north tonight to be in the vicinity of Atlanta, GA early tomorrow.
Friday, November 11, 2016:
Seems like we got started a day late, so must see what we can accomplish today, as many shops are not open on the week end. We skipped one shop in Columbus (the only shop I have listed there), and drove to Atlanta
late night to be prepared for today. First stop was English Engine and Chassis in Powder Springs, GA. Thought we might have struck out at first, no one home here, but left a voice message on his phone. Later in the day he called back to verify that this is the right place, and he is still in business. Work here is all mechanical work on British cars, no body or paint work.
Next up was Global Restorations in Marietta, GA. Definite strike out here, business gone, replaced a few years earlier by G&G Auto Repair (decidedly not British oriented). --- Then for a shop way west out of the way, we called first. Mike's Cars and Parts in White, GA. The phone number turned out to be Donnely Communications, and there is no other evidence of this shop to be found on the net,so presume this one is also gone.
Then nearly 90 miles north we have a winner when we visited The Roadspeed Garage in Cleveland, GA. Meet Barton Miller, who is this business. The MGB and XK-120 are his. Others are customer cars.
Then driving through forest fire smoke, wanting to visit Flashback Motorworks in Cummings, GA, another strike out. Today the building is occupied by American BOA, manufacturing pipe, tubing and hose.
Next try was for Capital Motor Cars in Alpharetta, GA. Another bust, the building now occupied by
Automotion Luxury Cars (nothing to do with British cars).
Around the corner we stumbled on European Motor Cars of Windward, but apparently all German cars. Bummer.
Then we had another winner, Chequered Flag Automotive in Roswell, GA. Another example of a shop that was taken over by employees several years ago, therefore younger management. Say hello to Scott.
The shop is full of British cars (and a few others), but Scott was preoccupied chatting about his MGB "hot rod". The fat tires are for street use, while autocross tires are bigger and stickier. Engine is 1800 5-main with enough tweaks to give something like 140-HP at the rear wheels. He likes to embarrass the V8s.
High lift cam plus high ratio roller rockers giving valve lift around 1/2-inch. Large valves with lots of porting and polishing. Shaved head and flat top pistons. When compression ratio was a little too high the piston tops were machined with a bit of recess to lower the CD some.
On the bench, the oversize HIF carburetors, cool air intake parts and roller rockers. On the side more MGs, a customers' MGB and a Midget under the tarp.
Next door we found NP Imports, LLC, dealing with modern Land Rover and Jaguar, nothing to do with vintage MGs. Then across Atlanta during rush hour. Did I tell you I hate big cities?
We found Phillip Middlton of British Classic Cars. He runs a mobile service shop in the Atlanta area. Today he was replacing a water pump on a Lancia Beta (sitting next to a De Tomaso Pantera he was working on earlier).
Then we were off to find Chic's Road Brittania, LTD in Atlanta, GA. At first this appeared to be a large antique shop, but once I found the right gate around the side of the building, and made my way up the hill to the back lot, we were in. Chic Newman's car says "Union Jack Import Body Shop, but it is more.
They also do mechanical work and sometimes full restorations. One interesting car was apparently an MG TF with wire wheels and XPAG engine, but the title and other paper work have it as an MG TC. Just curious. Chic has been in this location for more than 40 years, and so far still going strong.
Out of there by 5:15 pm, The next leg was only nine miles, but, did I say I hate big city traffic in rush hour? At least we got to see another McLaren on the street. Amazing how fast it went dark in 30 minutes. We we hoping to find two shops in Decatur, GA, but on arrival we found a place named Quantum Mechanics (Modern German and Japanese Automotive Service), not what we expected. Side door was open, so I asked about our quarry. Turns out the shops we were seeking were there, around back, but the folks had left less than half an hour earlier. The "stuff" is behind that locked gate. Seems like they come in to play on Saturdays, so we will take this up tomorrow. I recon we did okay for one long day.
Saturday, November 12, 2016:
Okay, we were past the fence in the morning, and this place was destined to be an interesting visit.
This first batch of cars belongs to Neil's Restorations in Decatur, GA. The building may not look like much at first glance, but remember it's not what your house looks like that counts, it's what you have inside.
Surely you can find something to identify with here. How about a TR6, an MGB, or an MGA chassis getting a Ford V8 squeezed into it?
MG Midget, Austin Healey 3000 (with an MGB race car hiding behind it), and another MGB.
Say hello to Niel Estes. The current pride of the shop is an MGB getting complete make over. The "apparent" V8 engine is a plastic engine block and 4-bbl carburetor used to model the engine bay during reconfiguration. Nice alternator, air conditioning parts, power brakes, aluminum radiator, coil-over front suspension, and maybe Wilwood disc brakes before it's finished. Sweet.
Now the other shop in the same building is Bob Wagner Motorsports (also Decatur, GA, of course).
I had a nice chat with Bill and a few of the associates, and a few friends and customers. Some of these blokes knew me by the car (and trailer) I drive. First peek inside gives barely a hint of what it hidden here. I have more pictures, but they are not for publication (by respect to the shop owner's request and the customers privacy). The stuff is mostly eye candy that would make you drool. Once you get past the tractors being restored, there would be an E-type, and a D-Type, a Marcos, an Elva Courier, a few exotic European sports and race cars, and a number of vintage American cars that will not be cheap. If you have a yen to see this stuff, you can visit the place (and see if they let you in).
Another hour to the east we made our way to rural Shady Dale, GA to visit Ric Cline. About 10 years ago he moved his shop Cline's Sports Car Specialties out of Walnut Grove, GA. He is proud to say that nothing in the shop is his, as it all belongs to the customers.
Color of this MGB immediately caught my eye It is Grampian Grey, a color originally used on 1967-69 MGB GT only. I think it looks very good on the rubber bumper touring car. Then a nice example of rubber bumpers painted body color, and a nicely restored MG TD.
Indoors we find more, MGB, TR6, MGB, MGB, MG TD, MGB. Apparently he likes to work on MGs.
Okay, there is a nice Morgan Plus-4 here too. The twin red MGBs belong to the same customer, and are to swap the engines and make both streetable and reliable. The Mazda RX7 race car is an ongoing pet project. There was a Ford Mustang in for engine work, but apparently only as a favor for a friend.
Being an engineer, this had to catch my eye. It is a vintage camshaft grinding machine, which still works well.
Sunday, November 13, 2016:
This turned out to be a very productive stationary day. I spent the entire day creating cross links from the Shops list to my travel log pages for photos and notes when we have visited these shops. Nice trick. Now when viewing the Shops list you can click on a "visited" link to see photos and notes for that shop. There are so far about 120 of these links and will be more to come as we continue the never ending tour.
Monday, November 14, 2016:
First stop of the day was an attempt to check out BritFix, Ltd in Macon, Georgia. No one home, and two referenced phone numbers are disconnected. Presume this one is out of business, to be deleted from the Shops list.
This was followed by a sprint to Savahanna, GA. First up here was Andy Greene, Sports And Vintage Race Cars. Andy runs this place with one shop assistant, so expect personal service. I didn't see anything Bitish today, but it could happen, like if you wanted to turn your Britush car into a race car.
And in the same building with the same street address, Savannah Race Engineering. These guys are onto some serious fast stuff, but apparently haven't seen an MG in the shop for many years. So if your little British car wants to remain "vintge", this is probably not the place to bring it for service.
The next stop was almost a three-fer, but involved some stumbling. We were looking for Dave Haberman's Auto Repair in Savannah, GA, but this didn't look right (truck bed liner?), and it turned out the shop was long gone,
apparently out of service. Then we found a sign on the building for Savannah Sports And Imports, but alas they too were long gone. While inquiring within, we were advised about Crumley European Auto Repair. They were also no longer here, but a quick search and a phone call tuned up their new location. Ta_Da!
Say hello to Lehman Yaughn, the service manager at Crumley Compound, European Auto Repair. The more significant name here is Jim Crumley, the owner, and another tech or two who regularly work on Vintage cars (you know, folks who understand carburetors and distributors). With a bit of photo lightening, the car inside the service bay is a Porsche 911. The point is, they are ready to service your vintage British car here, and they have arrangements with a body and paint shop nearby who will do the body restoration work, so you can get one-stop shopping for a full restoration if needed.
Then we took a short run south along the coast to visit Frank Chance in Richmond Hill, GA, just because
we were in the neighborhood. This is the guy who is building the "vintage" MGA Fun Buggy. Since we were here eight months earlier on March 15th, the Buggy has been making slow progress (somewhat stifled by the past summer heat). Some panels have been slightly modified to be "more finished", and coated with gel coat in preparation for painting. Still a long way to go, this may be only the second rendition of this vintage Buggy ever built. Nice going, but check back later.
Tuesday, November 15, 2016:
Just one shop visit today, but it's a winner. Say hello to Andy Turner, Service Manager at Pete's Otto Shop
in Valdosta, Georgia. Previously owned by Pete Berard (since 1960), now run by his son Richard "Tiger" Berard (and very good to see the next generation carrying on). I found a Lancia and a Volvo 1800S (with British heritage) in the shop today, and at least the motorcycle is British (I think). They definitely do service vintage British cars here.

I recently bought my first decent digital camera, a Sony DSC-F717, and I've been out to the Austin airport several times trying my hand at airliner photography. Here's what I feel like is one of the better pictures I've produced so far:
Photo © N844AA
Here are the problems I see with it:
*Generally poor light conditions: I took this shortly before sundown, and I think it really shows. I have the poor light of a sun low in the sky without any of the aesthetic qualities. My skill is not yet such that I can effective compensate for these conditions. I suspect the first thing I can do to improve this photo would be to take it earlier in the day.
*Drab background: No clouds, no gradient, no points of reference. What's worse is that the sky is pretty much ... gray. And this is an improvement on what it was before I modified the color.
*Fairly common subject: Suffice it is say Southwest 737's are common visitors at Austin-Bergstrom. The only things noteworthy about this subject are that it's a 732, which aren't seen too much outside of Texas anymore, and it was dirtier than an Air France plane. But given the oft-photographed nature of my subject, I don't think my technical proficiency is sufficient for it to be up to a.net standards.
*Centering: A little low in the frame? I really can't tell. I think it might be though.
*Deeply shadowed underbelly: Since I can usually only spot after I get off work, this has been endemic to almost all of the pictures I've taken. If anyone has any general tips that I can try to reduce this (aside from spotting at noon -- believe me, I will when I can) I'd sure love to hear them.
*Halo around the plane: I think I might have overdone it with the USM. I didn't notice this when I was post-processing the plane last night.
Here's my processing workflow: Import > Crop > Neatimage > Adjust Levels, Colors, etc. > Resize > USM. I would say this example pretty much represents the current peak of my photoshop proficiency.
Thanks so much for reading through this. I appreciate your advice, your tips for correcting the problems I've seen, and identifying the ones I haven't.

Claire Danes
Life Path Number 6
" I used to have nightmares when I was a little kid that I woke up prematurely and opened all the Christmas presents. And then I would be so relieved when I woke up and I realized that I hadn't done it."
Claire Danes is an American actress, best known for her roles as Angela Chase in My So-Called Life, as Temple Grandin in the HBO television film Temple Grandin, and as Carrie Mathison in the Showtime series Homeland.
She was born on Thursday April 12th 1979, in Manhattan, New York, United States.
Claire Danes possesses great compassion and seeks to be of service to others. She has concern for the weak and the downtrodden. She a healer and a helper to others. Claire is capable of giving comfort to those in need and will frequently offer a shoulder for others to cry on.
Danes' task in life is to develop the tools necessary to be truly helpful to others, rather than to simply be a sympathetic ear. Claire Danes must find the balance between help and interference. In the same way, she must learn the delicate art of the counselor who knows when to leave the struggle to others and when to avoid taking away the necessary experiences and lessons of life.
Claire Danes is naturally balanced. Therefore, she is well equipped to support and ground others in times of trial.
It is in her nature to take on responsibility - often filling the void left by others - and to not turn away from personal sacrifice. At times, Claire Danes may feel overburdened by the travails of others. However, the love others bestow upon her is her well deserved reward.
Claire tries to maintain harmony within the family or group, balancing and fusing divergent forces. She seeks marriage and is often a wonderful parent, offering warmth, protection, and understanding to children.
She is generous, kind, and attractive. Danes is often admired even adored which baffles her. She is humble and yet she carries a deep pride. Claire Danes moves well and gracefully, but will have to work to stay in shape. She must seek out physical exercise and limit the sweets and dairy she craves to keep herself from becoming plump and round.
When young, Claire must be careful not to choose partners for the wrong reasons, and to not let sentimentality influence her decision, especially those involving the choice of a spouse. Danes needs to be needed, but must learn to discriminate between those she can help and others who are made weaker by her care. After all, it is in Claire's nature to be attracted to the weaker brothers and sisters among us.
The temptation and the danger for Claire Danes is to think of herself as the savior of the world, carrying the burdens of others on her shoulders.
Claire Danes is blessed with musical talent, as well as in the visual and performing arts. However, her creativity may well be suppressed due to her willingness to sacrifice, or her inability to fully appreciate her own talents. This is not to say that Claire cannot excel in these areas; on the contrary, she has the talent, and with effort she can make a success in a number of artistic fields.
Danes also has enormous talent in business. She is blessed with a great deal of charm and charisma, which Claire Danes uses effectively to attract the people and support she needs.
You and Claire
About Claire's Life Path number
If ever there was a single moment of total transformation, it was actually the moment of Claire Danes' birth. In that instant, Claire stepped through a door in time into a new reality - the reality of human life. The most critical number in Danes' numerology chart is based on the date of her birth - the moment when the curtain went up in Claire Danes' life.

Say Cheese!
I went to the Alabama/Ole Miss game this weekend and when we got back in town, I had a present at my door. My new camera! I was too tired from the trip to cook, so Hank, my cockapoo, was my model! I can't wait to see how my new toy takes food shots! What can I cook up now?? Tune it tomorrow night to find out!

Vehicle2008 Saab 9-3 2.0T 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 6M)
ReviewI had never planned on buying a Saab and in fact all I could remember at the time was how ugly the older Saabs looked. A friend of mine had a 2005 Saab 9-3 and the first time I rode in it I was truly surprised. It was far from the hatchback design of the S900 and it was quick and had nice fit and finish.
This began my passion for these cars. I have driven a 2005 9-3 2.0T a 2006 9-3 aero, and two different 2008 9-3 2.0T. All the cars I had were great although I did experience less than stellar performance in the Pirelli and Continental tires that they were putting on the cars until 2008 when the TMPS sensor option was included. I have been very pleased with the reliability of all the cars I owned and feel that the 2008 and up Model Years to have the best long term reliability. This is why I went ahead and purchased one after my lease on my first 08 9-3 ended. The overall fuel efficiency of this car is excellent and seems to beat many other makes for the power output that it gives. I worked for VW and Audi and have driven many of their cars and just dont feel that their 2.0T has as much power as the 9-3. Even though the 2.0T
for Audi and VW has been rated very high I know internally that there are still issues with oil consumption and slug in models that this engine has been used in, and thats why I would never purchase anything containing their 2.0T. The new styling in 08 really for me was a winner. I had appreciated the older design, but wasnt a fan of all the plastic rubbing strips and trim that was visible on the outside of the car. I was happy to see that the facelift was focused on the outside and left the interior relatively untouched. The only thing that I wish had been standard on the 2.0T is visible sports exhaust, and xenon option. I really enjoy the interior and the only thing I would have like to see is a little less plastic and more leather covered surfaces like on the door handles and the front panel that surrounds the radio and instrument cluster. The leather Ive noticed stays in good condition if you maintain it, however if you dont after about 100,000K the drivers seat gets pretty rough looking. In older VW models that have leather it holds up much better probably due to several seemed portions on the seat bottoms rather than one large piece that tends to get stretched like in the 9-3.
Best FeaturesI do lots of Mnt. Biking and kayaking so the roof rack slots on top are a huge plus. The roof rack was also available through parts and was not terribly expensive and looked great and was sturdy. I like the trunk space as it is very spacious. I like the aux jack as I listen to mostly music on my MP3 player. I like the steering wheel controls as they are well placed and make sense. Love the rain sensing windshield wipers. The xenon self leveling and cornering headbeams amaze my friends as well.

Is the traditional nine-to-five work schedule a thing of the past? It appears a lot of workers seem to think so. A recent CareerBuilder survey of more than 1,000 IT, financial services, sales, and business workers reveals 63 percent of workers believe the traditional nine-to-five model is an "outdated concept."
The survey, which was conducted online by Harris Poll from May 14 to June 3, shows how a large share of today's workers are operating under a much more flexible work schedule than in the past.
And while many bosses may fear the loss of the traditional work frame, they need not panic just yet. While it is true that many employees no longer see the point of coming into the office five days a week, that doesn't necessarily mean employees have lost interest in their work.
"With improvements in technology that enable employees to check in at any time, from anywhere, it makes sense to allow employees to work outside the traditional nine-to-five schedule," said Rosemary Haefner, Chief HR Officer of CareerBuilder.
With this ability to access their work documents, calendars, and emails remotely, many of today's workers see little to no point in sitting behind an office desk to complete their work.
In fact, 50 percent of those surveyed say they "check or respond to work emails outside of work" and nearly 40 percent say they continue to work outside of office hours.
While businesses obviously cannot allow the nine-to-five model to dissolve completely, this growing trend reflects the clear need for more flexibility within employees' schedules.
"Moving away from a nine-to-five work week may not be possible for some companies (yet), but if done right, allowing employees more freedom and flexibility with their schedules can boost productivity," said Haefner.
While the long-term effects of moving away from the traditional workweek remain to be seen, there does seem to be an attractive set of benefits to offering employees greater workplace flexibility:
- Improved sense of loyalty: Employees are likely to be more attached and committed to a workplace that takes their needs for flexibility into consideration, thus resulting in
- Greater retention: Employees will be more likely to stay in their positions if they feel content and satisfied with the work schedule
- Heightened morale: Employees will feel more engaged and fulfilled with their work when they are working with a schedule that best suits their needs
- Around the clock inspiration: Rather than having an employee simply turn "off" of work at 5 o'clock, giving your employees a flexible schedule will allow them to remain open to new ideas and inspiration at all hours of the day.
The nine-to-five isn't going to disappear any time soon, but it will likely begin to change little by little to match today's changing technological landscape. The CareerBuilder survey is beginning to show us those little changes, and businesses need to be prepared to adapt to meet them. With the popularity of the traditional workweek waning and the benefits of workplace flexibility becoming more apparent, businesses may need to "get with the times" before losing out on top talent to more accommodating firms.
If you have any questions about how you can create a more flexible workplace within your company, please call our Advice and Resolution team today at 919-878-9222 or 336-668-7746.

Welcome to our current NUS Connect website. We are in the process of moving content to our new BETA website. We will be using both websites until July 2015. For more information and to give us feedback as we develop the new site visit this page.
The Postgraduate Champions lobby is picking up pace. In June, a further four Vice Chancellors signed the checklist and seven new MPs were lobbied, all of whom were supportive of the campaign, with five taking their concerns directly to the Minister for Universities and Science, David Willetts MP.
NUS UK have been working in partnership with NUS Wales to expand the scope of the lobby to pick up Welsh MPs and Vice Chancellors, as well as members of the Welsh Assembly.
Wales has a similar postgraduate funding system to England, and therefore the financial issues for postgradautes studying at Welsh institutions are of great concern, including the economic and social impact on Wales if Welsh graduates are unable to finance study at postgraduate level in their local universities.
NUS has developed a set of bi-lingual checklists to be downloaded and used by Welsh students' unions for lobbying. They can be downloaded by following the links below:
Bi-lingual checklist for Welsh Members of Parliament
Bi-lingual checklist for Welsh Vice Chancellors
Bi-lingual checklist for Welsh Assembly Members
Mae myfyrwyr yn mynnu i'r system Gymreig fod yn gynaliadwy, yn sefydlog ac yn gredadwy - a dylid croesawu unrhyw symud at sector fwy cyfundrefol sydd â mwy o gydweithredu ymysg pob math o addysg ôl-16
Students demand sustainability, stability and credibility for the Welsh system - and any move towards a better-organised sector, with deeper collaboration between all forms of post-16 education, should be welcomed.
Wise Wales held its second annual Partnership for Wales Conference in Neath on Wednesday 3 June.
Cynhaliodd Wise Cymru ei ail Gynhadledd Partneriaeth i Gymru flynyddol yng Nghastell-nedd ddydd Mercher 3 Mehefin.
In light of recent developments at Aberystwyth University, the President of NUS Wales is calling on the university to invest in sustainable, high quality Welsh-medium student accommodation.
Yn sgil datblygiadau diweddar ym Mhrifysgol Aberystwyth, mae Llywydd UCM Cymru yn galw ar y brifysgol i fuddsoddi mewn llety cyfrwng-Cymraeg cynaliadwy ac ansawdd uchel.
We are delighted to inform you of our upcoming Students' Union Local events. These specially designed one-day events have been created to meet the needs of officers and staff in students' unions.
It has come to our attention that recently that a charity fundraising partner used by many Students' Unions, Student Adventures, has gone into liquidation and is ceasing to trade.
The National Mobile Phone Crime Unit (NMPCU) has launched an investigation into a suspected mobile phone fraud targeting students at universities across the UK.
NUS has expressed huge concern today at the 'Know Your Limits' recent poster campaign to tackle rape. The poster points out that in a third of reported rapes the victim had been drinking and warns people to monitor their alcohol consumption. It is available for download on the Home Office website and has been sighted in NHS premises.
Former NUS President and General Secretary of NUT, Fred Jarvis, has published his memoirs reflecting on his lifelong campaigning for education. Find out where to buy here
Through expert training, support and knowledge students' unions and NUS together continue to build a national movement that champions the rights of students – shaping the future of education and changing the communities we live in.

I came away from this movie deep in thought, trying to piece together
the personal journeys of the cast, the context of life in the USSR, the
changes and resulting impact upon the players lives.
This documentary is well researched and highly viewable, it is not just a male only film.
Women get to see stripped to the bare bone, deep male team bonding, open responses to complex relationships and real meaning as to how 5 men dominated a sport in the USSR and the Americas.
The death of one of the cast members shortly after the movie added a melancholy touches, yet there is humour from both Gabe Polsky and Vyacheslav Fetisov.
It was clever, I see this documentary staying around for some time, certainly one to watch again.

Red Army is a feature documentary about the Soviet Union and the most successful dynasty in sports history: the Red Army hockey team. Told from the perspective of its captain Slava Fetisov, the story portrays his transformation from national hero to political enemy. From the USSR to Russia, the film examines how sport mirrors social and cultural movements and parallels the rise and fall of the Red Army team with the Soviet Union.

learn that Canada was never the defacto all Hockey rulers of the world
as they like to claim. Fact is, Russia was the best in the world for
quite some time. This is just a tough pill for Canadian hockey fans to
My only complaint is the interviewer did come off as amateurish and disrespectful. Outside of that, I thought the film was very introspective with lots of old footage of the former USSR. Excellent interviews. And to the guy complaining about no Tikhonov interview, it clearly stated at the end of the film that Tikhonov declined an interview request.
This is an excellent documentary. If you can put your patriotic homerism aside and respect it for what it is, you will enjoy it.
A lot more than just a "documentary about sport"
I was aware of the hype surrounding Red Army since Cannes this year. However, the fact that I knew so little about hockey cast doubt on whether it's worth to see or not. Stellar ratings and reviews on IMDb and Rotten Tomatoes eventually convinced me to see it at AFI Fest last week...and I was totally blown away by it. For starters, hockey is still the main theme here. However, it's not the only dominant element. Gabe Polsky utilized hockey to explore many facets of life such as family, friendship, politics, and patriotism. Furthermore, he found the perfect, complex main character in Slava Fetisov to build the narrative around. Depicted as a poster boy for the Red Army, Fetisov emotionally exposed individual and collective struggles of being a member of the USSR athletic system whilst uncovering the direct link to a larger force at work behind it that is Soviet government. There's no flat moment and it kept me entertained from start to finish. The fact that it has garnered serious Oscar buzz before widely released shows that Red Army is a must-see documentary, whether you're a hockey fan or not.

Project Description
California – Mediterranean Food Oakland, CA
The best Mediterranean cuisine restaurants in the Oakland Bay Area. Oakland Mediterranean food restaurants are listed in order from distance from Executive Inn Oakland Hotel.
Bocanova • 1.7 mi
55 Webster St, Oakland, CA 94607, (510) 444-1233
One of the first restaurants to land in the new Jack London Square last September, it is run by the chef Rick Hackett, one of those Chez Panisse alumni. Unlike MarketBar, Mr. Hackett's Mediterranean restaurant in the recently revamped ferry building in San Francisco, Bocanova looks south. The menu, it turns out, was inspired by a family meal – the restaurant staff dinner shared before service – at MarketBar. A couple of staff members made dishes from their South American homelands; Mr. Hackett was impressed and Bocanova was born.
The long menu divides the tapas-sized dishes into sections based on kitchen provenance: the pantry, the raw bar, the fryer, the stoves, the ovens, the grill, the rotisserie. I ordered a glass of Argentine malbec from the mostly South American wine list and dug into the first plate that landed on my table: deviled eggs (one of the most popular dishes on the menu, according to my waiter) stacked high with Dungeness crab and topped with chipotle aioli, giving it a refreshing yet mildly spicy kick. Scallops from the Sea of Cortez followed, perfectly seared, wading in a shallow pool of rich, brown Brazilian curry. The sweet potato and chipotle gratin arrived last, offering a blend of subtle sweetness and bold smokiness.
Asena Restaurant • 1.9 mi
2508 Santa Clara Ave, Alameda, CA 94501, (510) 521-4100
Asena features fresh, elegant Cal-Med cuisine and our menu changes every season. Our bread, soups, and most pastas are made by hand, everyday. Our wine list is one of the most comprehensive in the East Bay, and also changes seasonally. We are proud to offer a boutique bar, with many of our own specialty cocktails to compliment your dining experience. We hold annual "meet the winemaker" dinners (which sell out early) and have recently featured Kenwood, Flora Springs, and Alameda's own Rosenblum Cellars. Serving lunch and dinner.
Verbena Restaurant • 2.2 mi
1111 Broadway, Oakland CA 94607; Tel. 510.465.9300
Located in the atrium of the Shorenstein Building in Oakland's city center lies one of the warmest, most sophisticated restaurants that we have to offer. Verbena does Californian-Mediterranean cuisine like no other, utilizing strong techniques and the freshest ingredients to bring you the best possible dishes. And the menu choices are staggering, everything from simple pizza and burgers give way to dishes like braised lamb shank and salads that definately eat like a meal. Verbena Restaurant is a must for any diners culinary excursions; for lunch, when it's packed with Oakland biz pros, be prepared to take a little longer than you expected, but, hey, you deserve it.
Bay Wolf Café and Restaurant • 5.4 mi
3853 Piedmont Ave., Oakland, CA 94611; Tel. 510.655.6004Californian, Mediterranean. Established in 1975 by chef/ owner Michael Wild, this East Bay staple never misses. Located in a converted Victorian home, Bay Wolf Cafe offers Mediterranean-inspired dishes. The menu changes with the seasons, but Wild's signature duck dishes are always available. The service, like the food, is impeccable and the ambiance is unforgettable.

Inspired by the extraordinary events of Dr. May Chinn's life, Angel of Harlem is a deeply affecting story of love and transcendence. Weaving seamlessly scenes from the battlefields of the Civil War, during which her father escaped from slavery, to the Harlem living rooms and kitchen tables where May is sometimes forced to operate on her patients, this fascinating novel lays bare the heart of a woman who changed the face of medicine.
A gifted, beautiful young woman in the 1920s, May Edward Chinn dreams only of music. For years she accompanies the famed singer Paul Robeson. However, a racist professor ends her hopes of becoming a concert pianist. But from one dashed dream blooms another: May would become a doctor instead–-the first black female physician in all of New York.
Giddy with the wonder of the Harlem Renaissance and fueled by firebrand friends like Langston Hughes and Zora Neale Hurston, May doggedly pursues her ambitions while striving to overcome the pains of her past: the death of a fiancé, a lost child, and a distant father ravished by the legacy of slavery. With every grief she encounters, a resilient piece of herself locks into place. At times risking her life–attending to men stabbed in their homes and women left to die in filthy alleys–May struggles to carve out a place for herself within a medical world that still teaches that a "Negro" brain is not anatomically wired for higher thinking. Yet against the odds, she achieves her goal, starts her own practice, and becomes one of the first cancer specialists in the city.
Alive with the pulse of black unrest in 1920s New York, this beautifullytextured novel moves with fearlessness and grace through a history that is by turns ugly and sublime. With Angel of Harlem, critically acclaimed author Kuwana Haulsey gives poetic voice to the story of a remarkable woman who had the courage to dream and live beyond her era's limitations.
May Edward Chinn (1896-1980), the first black female doctor in New York City, is the inspiration for Haulsey's (The Red Moon) stirring second novel. May's mother, Lulu, makes tremendous sacrifices for her talented daughter, working to send May to the best schools and to secure a piano for May to explore her musical talent. A high school pregnancy is a hurdle, but Lulu arranges for the baby's informal adoption, and May aces the entrance examination for Columbia's Teacher's College. When a racist professor forces her away from music, she turns to science, doggedly continuing through medical school despite setbacks and discouragement, earning the grudging respect of her colleagues, the gratitude of her patients and the attention of a series of suitors. After she completes an internship at Harlem Hospital (the first black woman to do so), she works in a sanatorium before eventually opening her own practice. The novel is faithful to the known details of Chinn's life, and the vibrancy of 1920s Harlem shines through in Chinn's fictitious encounters with prominent historical figures of the time, from Zora Neale Hurston and Langston Hughes to Jean Toomer, Fats Waller and Wallace Thurman. Haulsey's respectful homage to Chinn and her accomplishments will bring overdue attention to this notable figure in African-American history. Agent, Eileen Cope at Lowenstein/Yost Associates.

This trip was over two days and nights, the first night spent in Paris, the following night in Dranouter.
Second time eating here, our last meal was dinner, this one was lunch. The food wasn't great, the service was excellent. Good if simple squid a la plancha starter. Good chicken and weak pollock main courses. Very good cheese plate (particularly the Salers) and a weak baba dessert. The pollock was the worst dish, both the fish and its eel sauce lacking flavor. There was some scattershot plating on even the better dishes, with cubes of raw turnip and so on, where the various ingredients didn't come together. We weren't expecting fireworks from the relatively economical lunch menu but still felt it was lacking in refinement. The dinner tasting menu on our previous visit was considerably better, although this time I noticed that the table near us ordering the more expensive lunch tasting menu received largely the same preparations as us, if sometimes using different proteins. Fantastic, well-priced wine list if you like the genre of wines Septime specializes in. Such a handsome restaurant.
La Table d'Aki:
Third time eating here and everything was exceptional, particularly an ethereal cod dish. The saucing was, as always, complex and beautifully complemented each fish. The atmosphere wasn't as good as it has been before and I think can be reliant on how full the restaurant is (it was only half full) and your fellow diners. Funnily enough, we thought that the American couple on one table asking for a wine that was "like a rich California Cabernet" were typical tourists with no idea about the delicacy of the cooking or about variety in wines, but then the French table next to us asked for a full-bodied red as well. (The only difference was how loudly and in what language they asked.) The bad thing about La Table d'Aki is the wine list, which is too amateur for the cooking and doesn't list the name of the producer for some of the 10 or so wines. Does anyone know if you can bring your own wine here for a corkage fee?
In de Wulf:
This was our big splurge. I won't go into too much detail but thought I'd briefly describe the experience as the cost dictated the kind of restaurants we ate at in Paris and our going to Alex Croquet in Lille. The tasting menu had some excellent dishes but overall was slightly disappointing given our high expectations. I think we might have been unlucky because the "main" course in particular, a five-week aged duck, was simply not to our taste. We had expected the cooking to be more Michel Bras but it seemed more Mugaritz, with some dishes that pushed the limits of palatability. The breakfast, however, was wonderful, more of the incredible bread from the night before, and the dining room and bedroom were very pleasant.
Alex Croquet in Lille:
Had high hopes for the pastries and breads here but wasn't amazed. The breads (Pain Zébulon and Pain Paulette) were certainly good but not in the same league as the bread at In de Wulf. A chocolate eclair was dreadful: soggy pastry, cloying filling, a far cry from Jacques Genin. The "pudding" (similar to a bread-and-butter pudding, with candied fruits) and kouign-amann were good but we wouldn't rush to schlep them and the breads to the train station and onto London again.

Does anyone have any favorites somewhere in the middle or close to Glendale? She's newly pregnant and has been getting carsick lately, so I don't want to make them drive. Thanks for your help.
