Snow drop offers value for money. The rooms are clean and tidy. The hotel is nice and it is a pleasure to stay here. Only a short walk into the busy resturant area but located on a quiet street. Note the hostel is not on st Joseph street in negombo, but in a neighboring suburb. You will need to get a took took from the train station or I think the hotel will pick you up from the airport. All in all I would recommend snow drop for staying in negombo!

Grundy County Elementary Schools have been participating in the County and Regional Spelling Bee for the past 29 years. This regional event is sponsored by the Chattanooga Times-Free Press each year for area schools to compete, sending their finalists to advance to the National Spelling Bee held in Washington, D.C. The event begins at the classroom level for grades 4-8 then progresses to the school-wide competition. The Grundy County Spelling Bee is held with 30 participants, 5 finalists representing each of the six elementary schools. This year the County Spelling Bee was held on February 8 at Coalmont Elementary. Several rounds of words were given from the pronouncer, Mr. Bill Nunley, and each speller completed the spelling of the word given to them. The contest was one of double elimination.
The last four finalists will advance to the Regional Spelling Bee in Chattanooga on Saturday, March 16, 2013. The County Spelling Bee has always been one of the highlights for students, parents, schools, and their spelling coaches. Spelling Bee coaches, students and their parents put countless hours into preparing for this colossal event! Again we were honored by Mr. David Patton, a local citizen and Palmer Town Historian, for founding the following awards: David Patton Spelling Award, the Louise Geary Layne Courtesy Award, the Y.B. Ashby Teamwork Award, and the Faithful Attendance Award, which recognizes a Spelling Bee participant who has perfect attendance. We were also grateful to have Ms. Tressie Jo Kennedy present an award to the winner in memory of her daughter Ms. Shannon Brown. Ms. Brown was a huge supporter and coach of the Spelling Bee at Swiss and Pelham Elementary Schools. Grundy County Schools are very grateful to Mr. David Patton, Ms. Tressie Jo Kennedy, and all of the local sponsors and supporters of the County Spelling Bee.
The winning school team will gain the right to retain the Grundy County Spelling Bee Team Trophy, which rotates from school to school each year. This year the winning school was Coalmont Elementary. This year's winners included: First Place – Kendale James, Pelham Elementary; Second Place – Brittany Church, Coalmont Elementary; Third Place – Elizabeth Copeland, Tracy City Elementary; and Fourth Place – Hagen Stiefel-Cash, Palmer Elementary.
The Louise Geary Layne Courtesy Award was presented to Alexa Fults of North Elementary; The Y.B. Ashby Teamwork Award was presented to Hagen Stiefel-Cash of Palmer Elementary; and The Faithful Attendance Award was presented to Brittany Church of Coalmont Elementary.

General Comments: Futures closed moderately higher as Tropical Storm Karen formed and was forecast to move into Georgia. It moved away from the state late in the weekend, and is in a much diminished state as weather conditions in the Gulf partially broke the system apart. The storm could hurt open bolls and hurt overall quality due to some big rains in production areas. Traders are also talking about monsoon rains in India that are slow to withdraw this year. The extra rains could really hurt quality there, and maybe yields. Worries about Chinese production are also heard after some big typhoons passed near important production areas . Some short covering was noted on ideas that the crop is less than expected in the US, in part due to the recent big rains. US crop conditions right now are generally good in Texas. Trends remain up on the charts.
Overnight News: The Delta will be dry and Southeast will see showers in the east today, then dry weather. Temperatures will average above normal. Texas will see dry weather. Temperatures will average above normal. The USDA spot price is not available today. ICE said that certified Cotton stocks are now 0.011 million bales, from 0.011 million yesterday.
Chart Trends: Trends in Cotton are up with objectives of 8940 and 9300 December. Support is at 86.80, 85.80, and 85.50 December, with resistance of 87.70, 87.85, and 89.40 December.
General Comments: Futures closed higher on the formation of Tropical Storm Karen in the southern Gulf of Mexico. The storm moved to the US, but stayed well west of Florida citrus production areas. Florida weather conditions overall remain good, with good rains before and good irrigation water available now. Production will be down due to the greening disease and some drought stress early in the year, but these losses are mostly factored into the price. Growing conditions in the state of Florida remain mostly good. Showers are reported and conditions are said to be very good in almost the entire state. Temperatures are warm. Brazil is seeing near to above normal temperatures and showers.
Overnight News: Florida weather forecasts call for some showers. Temperatures will average near normal.
Chart Trends: Trends in FCOJ are mixed to down with objectives of 121.00 November. Support is at 126.00, 125.00, and 122.50 November, with resistance at 132.00, 135.00, and 139.00 November.
General Comments: Futures were mixed, with London a Little higher again, but New York and Sao Paulo trading a little lower. It appeared to be a day of positioning by speculators. Producers all over the world are worried about the low prices and are trying to hold back on offers, but differentials and futures prices remain very low. Rains are continuing in Brazil. Brazil markets appear mostly quiet. Coffee is available in Central America. New crop is now being offered and the last of the old crop is getting moved. Colombia is offering Coffee at stable differentials. Current crop development is still good this year in most production areas of Latin America. Central America crop conditions are said to be good overall, but the rust is still a big problem. Production is still expected to be down 15% in the region. The weather is good, with frequent rains.
Overnight News: Certified stocks are a little lower today and are about 2.765 million bags. The ICO composite price is now 109.52 ct/lb. Brazil should get mostly dry weather. Temperatures will average near to above normal. Colombia should get scattered showers, and Central America and Mexico should get showers and rains. Northern Mexico should be mostly dry. Temperatures should average near to above normal.
Chart Trends: Trends in New York are mixed to down with objectives of 112.00, 111.00, and 106.00 December. Support is at 113.00, 111.00, and 108.00 December, and resistance is at 117.00, 119.00, and 121.00 December. Trends in London are mixed. Support is at 1640, 1600, and 1570 November, and resistance is at 1740, 1755, and 1770 November. Trends in Sao Paulo are mixed. Support is at 135.00, 132.00, and 129.00 December, and resistance is at 140.00, 142.00, and 145.50 December.
General Comments: Futures were higher in London, but a little lower in New York. It was a consolidation day before the weekend, with speculators doing most of the trading. Trends remain up on the charts. Less production in Brazil due to excessive rains continued to provide support overall. India also might have production problems as the monsoon has been slow to recede. There is talk of increased offers from India and Thailand, and Thai differentials are stable. Thailand expects more production this year, and is actively offering their supplies into the world market. India and Brazil are the same, so Sugar should be available at good prices for buyers.
Overnight News: Brazil could see mostly dry conditions and near to above normal temperatures.
Chart Trends: Trends in New York are up with objectives of 1880, 1940, and 1980 March. Support is at 1825, 1815, and 1790 March, and resistance is at 1855, 1870, and 1880 March. Trends in London are mixed to up with objectives of 473.00, 499.00, and 511.00 December. Support is at 487.00, 478.00, and 476.50 December, and resistance is at 495.00, 496.00, and 500.00 December.
General Comments: Futures closed higher again on more speculative trading. The fundamentals are still considered bullish as production still looks to be less than demand for the coming year, but prices have started to struggle at current levels. Ivory Coast has increased the guaranteed price to farmers last week, and that might help with production prospects even though the main crop is about ready for harvest. Farmers might buy more inputs to help increase mid-crop production potential. Rains have returned to West Africa. Ideas are that crop conditions there are generally good, but that drought and hot temperatures seen earlier in the growing season has hurt bean size and yields. Malaysia and Indonesia weather is favorable.
Overnight News: Scattered showers are expected in West Africa. Temperatures will average near normal. Malaysia and Indonesia should see scattered showers, but southern areas could be dry. Temperatures should average above normal. Brazil will get mostly dry conditions and warm temperatures. ICE certified stocks are lower today at 4.161 million bags.
Chart Trends: Trends in New York are mixed. Support is at 2555, 2535, and 2505 December, with resistance at 2620, 2650, and 2680 December. Trends in London are mixed to down with no objectives. Support is at 1650, 1640, and 1630 December, with resistance at 1700, 1715, and 1730 December.

The Southern hope for victory was inexorably tied to it's continued viability as a military power. In other words all it really needed to do was continue to exist and eventually through either political or diplomatic victories their independence would be assured. The thought of a purely military solution to the question was a pipe dream at best. Even the capture of Washington would not necessarily have guaranteed an overall victory for the South. While no doubt it would have dealt a major blow to Lincoln's prestige as well as to northern morale, it would have done nothing to address the massive disparity in resources-men, manufacturing, railroad network, naval power,diplomacy-that was the North's greatest advantage. If the Confederacy was to adopt the strategy of invasion as a means of victory, it would be playing into the North's hands. Imagine the galvanizing effect that would result from sustained operations in Northern territory by Southern forces, not to mention the numbers of troops it would have required to occupy the many areas of manufacturing and population in order to subdue a truly unified and indignant U.S. |

Pepper Mill
I have been using the OXO pepper mills buy am not as satisfied with them as I thought I would be.
Does anyone have any recommendations for pepper mills?
Introduce yourself, discuss the site and it's features or make a wish for things we can do to help you cook better
We love the Magnum peppermill by Unicorn. It is fast to grind and it is easy to adjust the level of grind. Cheers!
I have a Vic Firth Gourmet that I got from The Spice House. Very nice mill and well made.
If you want a pepper mill that is a work of art as well take a look at these.
I have a set of Olde Thompson wine botte shaped salt and pepper mills I wouldn't trade for the world. The grind adjustment is fast and wide and the T handle makes for serious grinding. They were originally purchased at Costco but I don't see that they have them any longer (there's a shock).

New Split-Cycle Engine Design Shown To Improve Fuel Economy By 50 Percent
Split cycle engines—engines that split the functions of a normal four-cycle piston into two separate but adjacent and complementary pistons—have never been able to match the efficiency and overall function of traditional internal combustion engines, but a new design could change all that. By tweaking the standard split-cycle design with new features like a compressed air tank that captures wasted energy from the system, the Scuderi Group claim not only to have matched the efficiency of the standard four-cycle engine, but to have far surpassed it.
The Scuderi Group's design has drawn interest from nine major carmakers, the company says, but has yet to prove the technology in real world prototype tests. But in computer simulations that install a Scuderi engine in a 2004 Chevy Cavalier, the split-cycle engine shows to reduce fuel consumption by 25 to 36 percent, translating roughly to a 50 percent improvement in overall fuel economy.
The engine does so by tweaking old split-cycle designs to be more efficient and to trap wasted energy so that it can be fed back into the system. Traditional four-cycle engines have four piston strokes: a down-stroke that pulls air into the cylinder, a compression up-stroke that compresses air (and fuel) in the cylinder, a combustions stroke in which the fuel and air is ignited and turned to kinetic energy, and another up-stroke in which the exhaust is cleared from the cylinder.
A split-cycle engine distributes those functions between two cylinders one cylinder handles the intake and compression strokes, then that compressed air is fed through a connecting tube into the second cylinder where it is combusted and expelled (this is demonstrated in the video below). Scuderi further improved on this design by adding an auxiliary compressed-air storage tank and by changing the the point at which combustion happens in the second cylinder (conventional engines ignite the gas just before the piston hits its peak on the up-stroke, but he Scuderi ignites just as the piston begins its down-stroke).
How does all this translate into better efficiency? First, the change in combustion timing gives the piston better leverage on the crankshaft, improving efficiency when the engine is working at low speeds. Further, a separate compressed air tank siphons off the air intake that isn't used for combustion. When the tank is full, the air inside is used to drive the engine, allowing the compression piston to stop compressing air for a period until the storage tank is spent, saving even more fuel.
It's an interesting and clever design, but while Scuderi does have a prototype engine completed these fuel economy improvements currently exist in computer models only, and there are no guarantees that they will translate into real savings on the road. Moreover, it's not clear that the Scuderi engine's savings will be able to compete with improvements in the gas-electric hybrid and EV engines automakers are already making. With automakers trying to move—albiet, slowly—toward whole new kinds of power plants, a redesigned conventional internal combustion engine may have missed its opportunity to be a true game-changer.

By using the compressor/storage tank mode for regenerative braking, this engine does everything that an electric hybrid does -- and more. Electric hybrids only capture a small fraction of the braking energy -- a compressor could capture much more; and thus be more efficient.
@Mikeyboy -- no it isn't just a "glorified 2 stroke engine..." Look at the video again -- in effect, the split cycle engine is a compressor, combined with an engine.
@ Clay: Good God, man, proofread. I had to stop and reread in three places to figure out what you'd meant to type.
@ tundrasea: That's assuming a lot from the pressure system and mechanical linkages in the powertrain. We can't really know the efficiency of the power storage from watching a little video. I mean, that *shouldn't* be bad, in theory, since it doesn't have to convert into another form of energy entirely in the way a generator does. I'd really question how much energy you could really store mechanically, as compression, though.
Still, it's a really neat trick to do something like this *entirely* mechanically.
@ deegeezee: Other than the fact that this company apparently doesn't like hybrids, I really wonder if it would be practical to do so. That whole compressor arrangement and the air tank could potentially be rather bulky or heavy, and the idea is that the air-compression is supposed to serve in place of storing energy electrically. As tundrasea noted, it really might be more efficient at getting that energy out - electric motors are ludicrously efficient, batteries less so, so there's some energy lost in storage of electrical energy. I can't imagine that you could store as *much* energy mechanically as you could with a battery, but it might be enough to make a real difference in stop-and-go.
Potentially, you could take the split cylinder engine without the tank and get a slight increase in efficiency, then couple that with the electric half of a hybrid system....
I am kind of confused why this is more efficient than a conventional internal combustion engine. Correct the following statements if I'm wrong but it seems that:
-this only fires on half the cylinders.
-this fires after TDC
-its desirable to inject and burn fuel before TDC (diesel engine).
-a turbo charger can easily be set up to produce 2.5 bars with less hassle.
-a turbo charged engine fires on all cylinders, (power to weight ratio??).
-a turbo charger does not steal energy from the crankshaft.
Those are just some things that came to mind when I read this article.
Also, on the "Compression Braking", at 1200rpm (20 ups and 20 downs per piston/second) and .5L of displacement/cylinder how big of a compressed air storage tank is needed to really make a difference?
Problem is that a normal car engine could be improved as far as fuel consumption is concerned. Many things have been altered to provide a clean exhaust. The two things don't go hand in hand.
I fell into the great new engine design in the '60 when Wankel sold his engine to the world. Where are they now?
Gimme a diesel or hybrid diesel or electric when it makes sense.
An interesting idea springs to mind.
A long time ago, there was an article about a two stroke engine consisting of a single piston going back and forth in a cylinder like a shuttle, each end being a power and intake chamber in turn and powered by the other, and having no valves but relying on briefly uncovered side ports for intake/exhaust function. It was noisy, inefficient, but had lots of potential power and very few limits on RPM. I think it was by Chuck Yeager, but it was a long time ago and I am not sure at all on the authorship.
My suggestion is to use two, or better yet, four of these two-stroke shuttles so arranged and timed as to create a true split four cycle action evenly across each of the shuttles with two consecutive power strokes driving consecutive intake, compression, and exhaust strokes.
Such a design might require valves at least at certain points and a way of "charging" the system to initiate the distributed cycle. But I would envision such a motor as very small, less than 75-100 cc total probably. How would it be used? Not as a drive train engine but as an addition to a hybrid system The bulk of the center of the shuttles, each double-ended piston, would be a very hi gauss permanent magnet rocketing back and forth and generating electricity to recharge a primarily electric car when required during an extended drain on the batteries.
If it ran on diesel, no plugs, no points, no dedicated electrical system, no starter motor, and of course, no valves needed. To start would require only reversing/pulsing the current through the generating coils to move the pistons to compression and self-ignition. If the main battery were completely discharged, no doubt an average booster cable current from another source would suffice to start this recharger engine. A tiny moped-sized muffler and scaled down catalytic converter could handle the small exhaust; an electric mini supercharger would be an added bonus for extra fuel efficiency.
The two starting points are others' intellectual property, but the fusion of the ideas is mine, and if someone out there can make it work, go for it; but if it works and you can get it to market, give me credit and 0.5%.

@jefro: The Wankel engine is still used today but primarily in airplanes. This is due to the fact that the Wankel uses more gas than a piston engine because it inherently has more surface area, effectively reducing the efficiency because the walls absorb some of the heat for combustion. It still has advantages in airplanes because it weighs approximately 1/3 that of a similar horsepower piston engine.
Another thought on the split engine. Wouldn't real world efficiency be reduced because the distribution of the gas/air mixture via the cross over passage would not provide the particulate separation required for efficient burning that today's injection systems can achieve?
well i have a few thoughts,
1. the firing after top dead center is like retarding the timing on a injection pump to gain milage witch is nothing new
2. if its half compressor, half engine, that means the two cylinders that fire will have to make power to move the the comprssor cylinders also just to get air, how is that effecient?
3.if they would retard the timing on a two cylinder with a long stroke, like a diesel for torgue, with a turbocharger and high compession ratio, couldnt this be as or more efficient.
just my two cents
@Dirk: Yes, I made some assumptions about this particular compressor design. However, there are other compressor/engines which do have high efficiencies & I was extrapolating from that. (Sorry, no citations -- but, as they say, you can look it up.)
The limiting factor for the regenerative-braking efficiency of electric hybrids, is the amperage that a battery can accept. For example, IIRC, a Prius only captures about 15% of the kinetic energy, using the regenerative braking. The batteries are simply unable to take a greater rate of charge. OTOH, pneumatic or hydraulic compressors can rapidly transfer a lot more energy to the storage tank, and are therefore much more efficient at regenerative braking.
how about we ban gasoline altogether.(period) Primitive method if you ask me (waste too much in heat dude, stinky, toxic,"bloody"), it is the same engine design/method since the 1900's? what's the problem... whoever kept this system is keeping you on your knee's.
let our engineer's work damnit!
why did microchips advance but not combustion engine?
In all IC engines built so far, the reciprocating motion of the connecting rod
is converted in to rotary motion for wheel through crankshaft. This was most appropriate technology when the engine was invented. However, with continuously rising fuel prices around the world, many attempts are being made for improving engine efficiency.
I have studied existing technology in detail & have found out following disadvantages with existing system.
1. The torque generated is always in a sine wave form.
2. Although, fuel combustion exerts tremendous force on piston from TDC to BDC (can be considered constant for any particular power stroke); all of it is never converted in to desired torque. When piston is near TDC or BDC, the force is wasted in compressing / stretching crankshaft radial arms towards / away from crankshaft bearings. Due
to this repetitive cyclic force, crankcase is required to be designed adequately strong & robust for bearing non converted force from Pistons.
3. Due to sine wave nature of torque conversion, maximum torque is available ONLY AT CRANKSHAFT ROTATION AT MULTIPLES OF 90 deg..
For all other times, the torque available is LESS THAN MAXIMUM POSSIBLE.
4. For a 4 cylinder engine with cranks placed at 90 deg. apart & firing order 1,3,2,4; cylinder 1 (say) has power stroke from 0 deg. to 180 deg.of crankshaft rotation; then other cylinders will fire as under
• Cylinder 1: 0 deg. to 180 deg..
• Cylinder 3: 180 deg. to 360 deg..
• Cylinder 2: 270 deg. to 450 deg..
• Cylinder 4: 450 deg. to 630 deg..
For cylinder 1, next power stroke starts at 720 deg. only & hence it can be seen that from 630 deg. to 720 deg., there is no power available in any of the cylinders. Engine has to cross this zone only by means of inertia of the over all system.
Considering all these disadvantages, I have developed a new concept in IC Engine, which WILL NOT HAVE ANY OF ABOVE DISADVANTAGES.
I have named it TEJJ IC ENGINE having following advantages:
1. This Engine WILL PRODUCE CONSTANT TORQUE OVER ALL
POSITIONS OF CRANKSHAFT ROTATION. Torque wave will be a
rectangular one.
2. The torque will be comparable to that of ELECTRIC MOTOR.
3. As no force from piston will be wasted in exerting undue force on crankshaft bearings, crankcase design can be made relatively lighter.
4. Torque available will be EQUAL TO MAXIMUM POSSIBLE TORQUE of existing sine wave torque at 90 deg. multiples.
5. This engine can be easily made in existing plants since It is only addition / modification of components & rearrangement of existing engine using ALREADY PROVEN COMPONENTS ELSE WHERE.
6. No new technology yet to be tasted is used for this invention.
7. Work done PER POWER STROKE of ENGINE WILL BE ALMOST 55%
8. This will lead to TREMENDOUS INCREASE OF ENGINE EFFICIENCY / MILAGE FROM VEHICLE.
9. This Engine can be used for all IC engine applications as at present.
10. This Engine can be used for all 2-stroke / 4-stroke engines running on ANY FUEL.
email@example.com. I assure that concept is fully ready with drawings, animated presentations etc & only shop floor designing / manufacturing is remaining.
Links with relevant graphics are available at "http://www.scribd.com/doc/49011286/TEJJ-IC-ENGINE-Constant-Torque-IC-Engine".
What? I don't know about all your other claims, but I'll correct one thing just for any future readers: a four cylinder 4-stroke engine fires something more like this:
Then cylinder 1 fires again at 720. each 180 degrees apart. 2 revolutions, 4 intake strokes, 4 compression strokes, 4 combustion strokes, 4 exhaust strokes. all evenly spaced.
You claim there is one shortened 90 degree gap, and one prolonged 270 degree gap. I can not think of any reason someone would design an engine that way.
But aside from that, good luck with your invention, or advertising clicks, or whatever you're after.
Why does everyone work so hard at keeping people confused about how an internal combustion engine works. there is NO such thing as a 4 cycle engine. all that means is that you have gone through a cycle 4 times. calling an engine 4 cycle is just plain stupid. an internal combustion engine cycle (or otto cycle) consists of: 1. intake, 2. compression, 3. ignition, 4. exhaust. that is 'a' cycle (note singular). now engines use different ways to complete that cycle and we should call them properly. you have a 4 "stroke" cycle (or 4 stroke) engine, a 2 "stroke" cycle (or 2 stroke) engine, and 1 "stroke" cycle (mono stroke) cycle engine. calling a 4 stroke cycle engine by the nomenclature of 4 cycle is misleading and confusing because ALL engines MUST perform all 4 parts of the cycle or they will not work. if you do not understand this you may want to go back and study the work of some of the original inventors of the concept like Nikolaus August Otto, Rudolf Diesel, even though Diesel's engine was modified from what he originally designed, and others.

Folks please don't let FWC, NPS and USFWS fool you. The real reason that there are no animals left out in BCY is directly attributed to the Texas Cougar importation to mate with the Native Panther. I have been going out to BCY since 1978 and back then we would see all kinds of small game animals, deer, hogs etc. We even had to fence the camp in due to all the rooting and all the animals coming into the camp, we even once shot a pig right inside the camp. There's no doubt that the python has played a role in the depopulation of wildlife out there, however think about this. If we are to believe the number of cats in the wild is 160, that means that for these cats to survive, there would need to be 160 deer or pigs consumed every week or 4 to 5 small animals per cougar every week for them to sustain themselves, this obviously is not doable so that's why they are trying to introduce all types of programs for more land.
Today when we go out to the camp, we leave food out on purpose to see if anything comes in and nothing, the last animals we saw where turkeys. Needless to say we no longer have a fence around the camp. For someone who has practically grown out there, it's very sad to see this all in the name of saving the "umbrella species" that has decimated just about all the wild life out there, soon you will be hearing more about cougar on cougar deaths...Stay tuned

New Here With 1956 Plymouth Belvedere
Hello just joined here,i recently picked up a 1956 plymouth belvedere 2dr no post it has the auto 2spd with a 277 v8 engine. Its decent shape for a north east car some rust but nothing major that i can fix. The only prob im having now is a tree fell on the rear roof when last owner had it. Which broke the rear window so he got one from a 55 belvedere 4dr but its not in it so idk if it will fit coming from a 4dr. Anyways plans are to get it in good running driving condition. get lights ect working and drive it while i work on it till one day ill have enough money to have it painted. Ive currently got it to fire and with some gas through carb it fired up, just rebuilt my carb today so hopefully that will keep her running.
Congratulations on your find and good luck with it. I think you've found a great car there. My second car, bought back in 1964, was a 1956 Plymouth Savoy 4-door sedan with the 277 and a 3-speed transmission. I absolutely loved the car, even as a 4-door. I drove it for about 2 years and sold it when I entered the service. The car gave me absolutely no poblems during that time and was totally unreal as far as its performance. The 277 is not necessaryily a big engine at all, it had a 2-barrel carb, the 3-speed and single exhaust but the thing would absolutely fly!! I never lost a race with it. If I had known I would be stationed only about 80 miles from home when I got out of basic training, I would have kept it. Again, congratulations and good luck.
Thanks ive had more cars then how old i am lol but this one really hits me i like it Alot. got it fired up and runningafter 10yrs of sitting and purrs like a kitten even with a rotted muffler lol. Id like to go with abit more hp add ons but with gas and that might as well keep it the way it is lol. Cant wait to get the ole girl out on the road
Nice car!
There are a number of forums that deal with the 50's Mopar so you will have plenty of support.

By Rodger Mullen Staff writer
It's easy to overlook the little round table tucked in a corner of the visitors center at N.C. Veterans Park.
Only about 20 inches across, the table is covered by a white tablecloth. On it rests a single rose, an upside-down glass, a lemon slice and other seemingly random items.
But the arrangement is anything but happenstance. Every object has a meaning.
The display is a Missing Man Table, a remembrance of the more than 80,000 men and women who are missing in action or prisoners of war.
Officials at the downtown park on Bragg Boulevard believe that POWs and MIAs deserve a bigger tribute. And that means a bigger table.
The park is trying to raise money for a table that could be moved outside for special ceremonies, such as those on Veterans Day and Memorial Day.
The larger table would have room for six chairs, instead of the one it currently has. The chairs would represent all five active-duty branches of the military as well as civilians, said Bruce Daws, Fayetteville's historic properties manager.
"We'll also have a vertical banner that will explain the significance of the table," Daws said. "It'll be an educational, ceremonial piece."
The park is trying to raise $2,500 for the table. The cost includes $300 for an indoor/outdoor table, $920 for retractable banner stands and $200 for table decor items.
As of Monday, it had collected about $600, or 24 percent of its goal.
The Missing Man Table is one of six local projects that area cultural organizations are seeking to fund through Power 2 Give, a crowd-funding website. The initiative allows donors to target dollars to specific projects through online donations, rather than just writing a check to an organization for general use.
Some of the other projects seeking funding through Power 2 Give include an educational butterfly project at Fascinate U Children's Museum, a spring planting project at Cape Fear Botanical Garden and a printer for Cape Fear Studios.
Volunteers at Veterans Park, which opened in 2011, say they believe the Missing Man Table is a worthy project for a military community such as Fayetteville. The table attracts attention, they say.
Tommy House, an Air Force veteran, works behind the desk at the park's visitors center.
"I've seen people who come in and look at (the table) with tears in their eyes," House said.
Juan Roman, an Air Force and Army veteran and park volunteer, said people often ask for someone to explain the table's meaning to them.
"It's very touching and emotional," Roman said. "Instead of a moment of silence, it's constant. They become speechless."
Even groups of school children, who often know little or nothing about POWs or MIAs, ask questions about the table and become interested when they learn about the meaning of the different objects it displays, volunteers say.
Daws said officials have not set any fundraising deadline, but he hopes the park will be able to buy the table and its related displays in time for this year's military holidays.
"We're very pleased with the generosity and concern for the POW issue," Daws said. "Hopefully, we'll meet our goal."
For more information about the Missing Man Table and other projects, go to power2give.org/fayetteville/projects. Here's what the items on the Missing Man Table represent:
White tablecloth: Symbolizes the purity of those who answered the call of duty.
Single red rose: Represents the lives of those missing.
Red ribbon : Symbolizes the determination to account for the missing.
Slice of lemon: Symbolizes the bitter fate of those captured or missing.
Pinch of salt: Represents the tears of the missing and their families.
Bible: Illustrates strength through faith.
Inverted glass: Symbolizes the missing men and women's inability to share in a toast.
Empty chairs: Represents the missing.

"I'd like to thank the whole VACorps team for making this adventure-of-a-lifetime not only possible, but even more spectacular and meaningful than my wildest expectations! It's an even more difficult challenge to find a VACorps participant who didn't enjoy his/her time in Cape Town, because the support structure VACorps provided played no small part in allowing me to have peace of mind while having the time of my life!
"The biggest effect the program had on me was how it allowed me to discover more of who I was, and to fully appreciate who I could become through self-improvement. There are so many instances where I kept challenging myself to be better, but one that I want to highlight is how I took initiative at Scat to ensure I was engaged and happy with the kind of work I was doing. I could have easily laid back for the whole 2 months and not felt that my effort was valued; instead I actively sought out new responsibilities around the office to truly maximize my experience there.
"With regards to my most memorable experiences in South Africa, I honestly can't think of any experience that wasn't memorable in itself! Going for yoga several times a week; outdoor and adventure activities like hikes and shark cage diving; road trips with colleagues and roommates; being in the heat and heart of the World Cup; all assortments of braais; the nightlife in Obs and downtown; Saturday mornings at Old Biscuit Mill; chilling at home with fellow Hexagonians; seeing firsthand how poverty afflicts townships so adversely. It's difficult to choose which experiences were more memorable than the rest because I remember it all so clearly!"

Tags: hot air ballooning, phoenix, USA and Canada, usa, optional excursions, arizona
by – Alex McCarty, Tour Manager, North America
The Sonoran Desert envelopes the city of Phoenix, and most its suburbs, creating what is widely known as the 'Valley of the Sun'.
The wildlife here (rattlesnakes, coyotes and several kinds of lizards) is a testament to the harsh and desolate environment where they thrive, and with one of America's fastest growing cities as a backdrop, all combine to make ballooning in this region of the world unforgettable. In the early morning hours your pilots will drive you from your hotel to the launch site, where you will watch the balloons being inflated. Usually between 6 and 10 people will stand aboard one balloon, as the pilot feeds hot air to the canopy and you begin to rise almost imperceptibly off the ground and toward the heavens.
The actual speed of the wind will determine how high and how far you travel, making hot air ballooning by far the safest mode of air transportation. Some flights reach an elevation of 6000 feet above sea level (well over a mile high!).
Upon landing you and your fellow aviators will receive a traditional ballooning breakfast, (including champagne) for no additional charge.
For a breathtaking and peaceful experience few things can compare to floating over the Arizona desert in a hot air balloon!
Hot Air Ballooning is offered as an optional excursion on Contiki USA Tours visiting Phoenix, while you can also go Hot Air Ballooning in Albuquerque.
is there somewhere i can find a cost for this optional extra?
A lot of people wrote just a good feedbacks about this kind of trip. I'll use essay writing for finding this services.
Hot Air Ballooning is one of the most amazing thing to do in Phoenix. I love the sunny clear sky there and the beautiful getaway Phoenix Resorts. It is a wonderful place for a relaxing vacation.
I heard about this when I was vacationing in Phoenix az, but I have not had the opportunity to do it. It sounds like an incredible experience. Anyway, I had a wonderful time in Phoenix and fortunately I was able to stay at a five star Phoenix Hotel Resort, that was quite a treat.
we had to be up and out onto the bus by 5.45a so when we got there it was pitch black…...we jumped in and head off and were ale to see the sunrise it was beautiful – you feel like your floating. it was so peaceful and everyone in our basket had a ball !!!! breakfast served was fab and we all had ann unreal time – it is definately one of those MOST DO's !!!
i did this excursion on my tour and i loved it. i was really afraid of heights but if you stand in the middle of the basket and look over rather than looking down yourll be fine.
I did this on my Tour back in July 2005 and loved it. I recommend it to everyone. Even if you are afraid of heights still do it. We had a guy in our basket that was afraid of heights and afterwards he was like Im so glad I did that.

The World Cheese Awards, Birmingham, England
November 23, 2011 - 6:48pm | by kateWhat do you get if you combine 2700 cheeses with 216 international cheese judges? Answer: Today's World Cheese Awards held at the NEC in Birmingham England. Amazingly, 75% of the cheeses represented were from overseas producers and judges were also drawn from countries as diverse as Russia, South Africa and Mexico.
For the overall winner, Ossau Iraty made by Agour of France, the win was an incredible case of deja vu since they also won the competition in 2006 - remember this was out of 2700 cheeses!
The USA should be justly proud of the many awards given to some of its best producers including Sartori who took overall third place, Beatje Farms who won a Super Gold Medal plus cleaning up several Silver and Bronze awards, Rivers Edge Chevre with a Silver for their Mayor of Nye Beach, Leelanau Cheese Co for their Aged Raclette and Fiscalini who won a Gold for their Lionza.

"Before declaring a specialty in medical school, I rotated on the plastic surgery service where a surgeon performed reconstructive surgery on a patient with a head and neck cancer. I was struck by the complexity, yet graceful techniques that are involved with facial plastic surgery, both cosmetic and reconstructive. These patients' lives were changed forever, physically and emotionally. I knew then that I wanted to influence mind and body at the same time. What other specialty could give such profound satisfaction? I am honored and humbled when a patient puts their trust into my hands."
Dr. Angie Song brings the highest standards of medical excellence to procedures of the face and neck. Her technical skill, artistic sense and sound judgment have earned her a reputation for providing her patients fresh, natural looking results.
"Patients are looking for experience, ability and judgment. I have a critical eye for what looks right for that particular individual and a natural appearance is always my goal."
Dr. Song's extensive training includes research and clinical experience in Head and Neck Surgery with a fellowship in Facial Plastics and Reconstructive surgery at the world renowned Lasky Clinic in Beverly Hills. Dr. Song's background in Head and Neck and Reconstructive Surgery give her a powerful perspective on anatomy, spatial relationships and wound healing; all critical components of a great cosmetic result. Further differentiating, Dr. Song has the empathy, compassion and gentle approach she developed as a result of treating those patients with devastating malformations and traumatic injuries. Her ability to connect with patients puts them at ease and allows a comfortable exchange of ideas and information throughout their course of treatment. Patients have concluded their consultations with feelings of "relief" and "excitement".
"Plastic surgery is a very personal decision. The emphasis of Swedish Facial Plastic Surgery is providing tailored individual care in a relaxed, private and personal way. We strive to create a "No Rush Zone" so every patient can absorb all the information they need at their own pace. This is not a cookie cutter plastic surgery clinic. Every patient is different and so are their needs. We are here to reassure and support you throughout the process from day one."
Respected by her peers, Dr. Song has authored numerous articles and is a frequent guest speaker at national and international meetings on topics of interest to facial plastics surgeons. Archives of Facial Plastics Surgery and Otolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery are samples of her published works.
A dedicated wife and mother of two, Dr. Song resides in Medina, WA. When she has free time, her interests include running, reading, wine appreciation, traveling and spending time with her family.

Yu, by Mane: A $5,000 Fragrance
How much would you pay to smell like rain at any given moment? $5,000? Mane is hoping so, as they've launched their newest fragrance, Yu, with just such a price point.
I don't know that any perfume is worth that much, no matter how good it smells, unless it comes in some kind of jewel-encrusted bottle. But it's been impressing critics, with New York Times fragrance expert Chandler Burr saying "You can smell the money in it."
Personally, I think money smells funny.

I don't know how likely this is, but if an authoring company got the original Charlie Daniels version of The Devil Went Down to Georgia, it'd be a classic.
I don't know how likely this is, but if an authoring company got the original Charlie Daniels version of The Devil Went Down to Georgia, it'd be a classic.
Just had to read the 1st bolded piece of text and I'm on board!!!
Matt & Kim are absolutely incredible<33333333
Arrrrrrghhhhh, so much love for them.
My tumblr page, yo: http://heyitsmario.tumblr.com/
I'd say that considering the song's popularity and legacy, that's probably a no for a few reasons. To my knowledge when the song was covered for GH3 I think that was without the band's consent and that created a feud between the band and Activision/Neversoft. If that feud didn't exist, there would probably be a hefty up-front cost for the song as well (most likely in the realm of $1,000+, but my guess is up to $10,000+) which would not be feasible in the slightest for any authoring group.
Also doing some 30 second research on Wikipedia the song was released on Epic which is a subsidiary of Sony Music Entertainment which creates a dead-end.
However, I think getting this song would be amazing, but unfortunately I don't think it's even close to possible.
To add to all this, I recall a radio interview four years back with Charlie Daniels regarding his disapproval of how the song was used in GH3. What he said is pretty much what he wrote here:
So, even though he has no real say in where the song is used anymore, I'm not sure he'd be too happy seeing it in another music game, though this one is devoid of devils winning (to the best of my knowledge).
Just something else to consider. Personally, I'd love to see the original version in the game. Would make for interesting gameplay.
Paolo Viteri, CEO/Lead Author
Totally sucks about that. But if the very essence of my songs was raped and buried like that, I would be pretty upset at that, too.
But then again, that's Activision for ya. Just a lot of not giving a s*** about feelings and doing what their fat-cat asses want, which can involve pissing off the artist they're trying to "respect."
Addicted to bad movies since 2008
I think, as far as gameplay goes, GHIII's cover was great. Unfortunately, I'm sure that, given the style of the original, it was probably pretty disappointing for them. To add to that, the fact that it was done without permission mixed with the fact that it's totally protected by law would make it even worse. I'm sure little things like changing the words that were originally "son of a gun" were frustrating too (I didn't really like that, though if I remember correctly, it wasn't actually in the game).
Actually, I've heard recordings of the original with "Son of a b****" in it.
I hope I don't get banned for posting a video to prove a point about a bad word, but I found a video with the original lyrics here.

Addicted to bad movies since 2008
I'm all for more indie bands getting in!
I hope you guys don't mind me adding another band in here, but has any authoring group tried to contact Fit for Rivals? They're a Florida-based band that released an independent album back in 2009. Great songs, I think they'd fit in well with this game. They're also working on a new album (hopefully releasing it soon), so maybe they could use RBN for promotion.
A couple songs I'd love to see come to RB: Hallelujah, Crash, and Damage.
5+ years, 4,000+ songs, 1 awesome developer. Thank you!
Oh, how I remember the days when the "(Actively Updated)" part of that title wasn't a lie.
Though I have talked to Tommy (CAKE's manager) about a lot over the years, I have left him well alone regarding Rock Band. I figured as much had been done that could be done. It's definitely worth revisiting, I suppose. Though CAKE (especially John McCrea, founding frontman) aren't exactly known to change their opinions. On anything. Since Harmonix couldn't seem to strike a deal with them, if any RBN authors can, I tip my entire collection of hats to you.
While we're on the topic, do you guys see my avatar? It's my prestige license plate the band signed. I got to meet them backstage after a show a few years ago. (And no, I did not waste my breath asking them why they didn't want to be in Rock Band.) Best 10 minutes of my life.
