A Bronco Built Both Ways
Paul Herman likes going fast when he's not at a crawl. You may find him competing in tough truck events or down running on the Baja peninsula, or somewhere between there and the Rubicon winding his way over a rocky trail. As such, this rig was built to perform in several environments.
What you see here is a very custom '72 Bronco that has evolved over many years of upgrades and refinement. Paul and his brother George started wheeling together back in 1980 as fresh transplants to Arizona from Santa Cruz. Mom's '79 Scout served as their gateway to some desert exploring. With this small taste of wheeling, they were hooked, and a long string of 4WD vehicles followed.
After watching the building of the Crazy Horse Bronco on the Trucks! television show, Paul knew he wanted to build a vintage Bronco and set out planning his goal. A short time later, he bought a near-stock, clean '72 and the project began.
Churning big tires through the sand requires a lot of horsepower, and this pony gets about 400 horses from a healthy, stroked 392 V-8. Troy Clark at Modern Auto Repair in Phoenix assembled a go-fast package with tons of torque.
He started with an early-'70s 351W block that was fully reconditioned then fitted with a Scat 4340 forged crankshaft and H-Beam rods to move Mahle forged pistons. Competition Cams roller components handle all the valve movement chores that take place under Airflow Research 185 aluminum heads.
Fuel induction is handled through an Edelbrock Performer RPM Air-Gap manifold fed with a Holley Truck Avenger 650-cfm carb. Twin Holley electric pumps keep the 32-gallon fuel supply steady, and an MSD distributor and ignition components bring fire to the party.
Behind the flywheel, Off-Road Unlimited installed an NV4500 five-speed tranny that powers an Atlas II 4:1-ratio transfer case. This combination provides low gears for the slow stuff and a wide enough set of cogs for rapid-pace play.
After splitting a front Dana 44 in half at a Tough Truck event a few years ago, Paul dropped some coin for a custom Currie 9-inch centersection with thick-walled tubing, Dana 60 knuckles, and 35-spline alloy axles throughout. Out back is a Dana 60 with Wilwood discs and the same 35-spline treatment. Both axles use 4.86 gears, and ARB Air Lockers provide ultimate traction.

Social Media That Drive Sales
Everyone agrees that social media is important component of marketing these days. Using Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, YouTube and Tumblr is key to promoting a business and products. But it is not just that you use these tools that count – it matters how you use them. You need to be smart and get the most return on your investment.
A recent study from Adobe Digital Index which tracked about 60 of the top 100 brands, shows that revenue over cost was up nearly 60 percent in Q3 for 2013. The report also indicates that while Facebook is still the leader in referral traffic – Twitter referral traffic is up more than 250 percent and referrals from Pinterest are up more than 80 percent.
But the winner in conversions – that is driving sales was Pinterest. According to Adobe Digital Index – Pinterest is driving more traffic to retail sites than Reddit, YouTube and Twitter combined. It adds that "Pinterest is optimized for retail in general.. Facebook and Twitter are kind of all over the place and there's not necessarily a niche. Pinterest is really a retail driven site and that's why they're eventually going to overtake Facebook in terms of referring revenue."
Also noted in the report was that Tumblr may be the most underrated of all the networks when it comes to retail conversions. Tumblr has the most positive consumer sentiment of all the social platforms. People use Facebook Twitter and other platforms to vent about brands much more so than they do on Tumblr.
Overall consumer engagement in the form of comments and shares are up 115 percent on Facebook and that according to the study is a sign that consumers are engaged and may have an appetite for more brand content in general.

Disunion follows the Civil War as it unfolded.
The Civil War featured many dazzling innovations: ironclads, hot-air balloons, the Gatling gun. But if armored warships and more powerful guns pointed to the future of warfare, another innovation, hailed at the time as a forerunner of combat to come, certainly did not: the United States Army's Camel Corps.
In 1836 an army officer from Georgia, George Crosman, first touted the idea of importing camels to America. The animals were perfect for making the long, grueling treks then being mapped out across the country. Still, not much came of the idea until about 15 years later when, thanks to some publicists like the well-known diplomat and writer George Perkins Marsh, the "Camel Transportation Company" was formed to operate a camel express between Texas and California and down to Panama, later to be called the "Dromedary Line." It wasn't alone: there was also an American Camel Company.
Both companies soon failed, but the idea had taken hold. Among its adherents was Jefferson Davis, the secretary of war under Franklin Pierce. A native of Mississippi, Davis was interested in the integration and development of the Southwest, perhaps with an eye toward expanding the Southern economy — and the slave system it relied on — toward the Pacific. But he and others struggled to find ways to overcome what in pre-railroad days was called the "tyranny of distance." Davis's belief that camels could be the solution was affirmed by a retired naval officer named Edward Beale, who had become something of a zealot on the subject of camels after reading about them in the French missionary Évariste R. Huc's "Recollections of a journey through Tartary, Thibet and China, during the years 1844, 1845 and 1846," a famous account of travels around Central Asia. In 1855 Davis had a ship outfitted and sent to North Africa and the Levant to purchase several camels "for army transportation and for other military purposes." Read more…

Welcome to the University of Wyoming's Office of Diversity//Equal Employment Opportunity homepage. This website has been developed to provide information about the role and services the Diversity/EEO Office provides to the University of Wyoming community.
The University of Wyoming aims to be a leader among higher education institutions in the Rocky Mountain region in designing and implementing diversity initiatives. Our ultimate goal is to engage in strategic activities as we progress toward creating a campus environment that appeals to individuals from varied backgrounds and beliefs. We are not interested in simply achieving political correctness. We welcome diversity because we know that it dynamically enriches our collective scholarly productivity and creativity. The University of Wyoming therefore accepts, encourages, and actively solicits new ideas and strategic approaches to achieving diversity.
The University seeks to embody in the minds of its administrators, faculty, staff, students, and visitors a warm and open human spirit. We also look forward to establishing a more visible partnership with the greater Wyoming community in order to complement the State's appreciation for and celebration of individualism, a phenomenon that is critical to a community's efforts in achieving diversity. The University also continues to endorse an environment free of discrimination because we know that this can only further enhance our success with attracting diverse approaches to teaching and learning. We believe that we can secure a climate of acceptance and mutual respect for different opinions, cultures, experiences, and perspectives and we are committed to evaluating, endorsing, and supporting viable diversity initiatives.
Overall Responsibilities
As the central repository for records and information relative to the University's diversity initiatives as well as the University's compliance with Equal Employment Opportunity regulations, the Diversity/EEO Office will:
Review, coordinate, and periodically provide progress reports addressing individual and institutional wide diversity initiatives
Explore and propose additional diversity related approaches
Develop and administer the Institution's EEO Program
Ensure University compliance with equal employment opportunity regulations
Conduct reviews and investigations of Civil Rights complaints
Develop and administer employee training programs to address matters of diversity, sexual harassment prevention, and other forms of illegal discrimination
Develop and administer specialized training in faculty and administrative job search protocols in order to ensure compliance with the University's commitment to diversity

Source: San Bernardino County Sheriff-Coroner report
COLTON, California — Jose Aguilera, 25, of Moreno Valley was killed early Monday morning after he was ejected from his car after it flipped and rolled multiple times on a dirt shoulder at the intersection of Woodson and Reche Canyon roads, according to a San Bernardino County Sheriff-Coroner report.
According to the coroner report, it was just after midnight when Aguilera was allegedly speeding in this residential section of Colton, a community of 52,000 in San Bernardino County.
Speed was indicated as the primary collision factor in 29% of the fatal and injury collisions, according to the 2009 California Statewide Integrated Traffic Report.
"Indeed many drivers travel too fast for road conditions and as a result can lose control of a vehicle, especially as they enter a curve in the road," said Attorney West Seegmiller, founder of the Seegmiller Law Firm.
Every traffic accident is a tragedy not only for the family impacted by the collision, but by friends, co-workers and acquaintances that have been touched by the victim's life.
If you have been injured in a car accident we know that this is a difficult time. Most people will be involved in some sort of crash in their lifetimes, but serious crashes can be devastating both emotionally and financially to victims.
For more than three decades, the legal experts at Seegmiller Law Firm have represented hundreds of clients who were injured in serious traffic accidents as the result of someone else's negligence. Certainly no amount of money will take away the pain of a victim's injuries or a family's loss, but it can help put them back on the road to recovery and in some cases bring justice to those who survive.
The Seegmiller Law Firm can be reached at 1-855-ASK–WEST. For over 30 years, the firm has been a staunch advocate for victims' rights and has fought for clients involved in personal injury and wrongful death cases, including premises liability, product liability, auto accidents, dog bites, nursing home negligence, medical malpractice, at-work injuries and more. The firm has offices in Irvine, Riverside, Los Angeles and San Bernardino, California, and Las Vegas, Nevada.

Volume Issue, No response from BLUE customer support... :(
This review is from: Blue Microphones - Snowball
Pros: Looks great. Heavy and sturdy. Blue Brand name (First Blue Mic)
Cons: Unfortunately this is a big issue if you search the internet, not all of the microphones have proper gain. Some require a firmware update and some just have low volume. It's hit or miss. Just do a search and you will see. I didn't realize there was an issue until I googled to see if I could fix the volume. This is not opinion, this Snowball really cannot be used and no adjustment can fix the volume issue.
Other Thoughts: I like the look of the mic and the feel. The volume cannot be used I do podcasts and live streams professionally. I'm much more disappointed that a big name like BLUE doesn't reply to customer issues. This is not the first review like this. Please look at others, maybe it will give BLUE incentive to start paying attention to support instead of only sales.

Driver conflict causing headaches - any ideas?
This review is from: Blue Microphones - Snowball
Pros: Beautiful, clear-sounding, somewhat-adjustable microphone.
Cons: Does NOT work on my computer (Win7 SP1 64-bit). It does work on my laptop, also Win7 SP1 64-bit. I think it has to do with my motherboard. The motherboard (which I purchased in June 2011) and related drivers seem to only want audio input from the mini audio jack. My laptop has no such jack and this USB mic works great for it, in fact I plugged it in and it recognized it immediately (but I bought this to use with my desktop tower, so I'm not happy since I can't get it to work). The Blue Company seems to have no support mechanism. So I resorted to old standby geek tasks. I've deleted old drivers, downloaded a full, fresh set from Gigabyte's website, rebooted the system and still nothing. Very, very frustrating. This is also happening to my Logitech webcam. The camera part works, but the microphone is not recognized by the system. And Logitech tried to help, but once they learned that the camera worked on the laptop, they politely told me work it out with other vendors.
Other Thoughts: I'm posting here because the NewEgg community often has great insight into tech problems like this. I'm open to suggestions and I really don't want to return this because I already know the mic works, just not on the intended machine.

Watch out.....
This review is from: Blue Microphones - Snowball
Pros: When it worked, the sound quality was stunning. I was able to use it for short documentary movies as well as several video game reviews. Paired with a filter the sound required almost no editing beyond cutting and pasting in final cut. More than surprised at how good this USB microphone is.
Cons: after 13 months, I plugged it in one day. and nothing. Absolutely nothing. 1 year warranty support expired, I'm now stuck with something less functional than an actual snowball.
Other Thoughts: The sound of this mic is great, but I just hate it when electronics die just after the 1 year mark. Now I'm left without a good portable microphone, and on a budget it's going to be a while before I replace....

This review is from: Blue Microphones - Snowball
Pros: -Decent Audio Quality
Cons: - Big, if you don't have a big desk you'll find yourself disconnecting it all the time to get it out of the way.
Other Thoughts: For the price, its a great microphone, but if you bought it with the intention of having a microphone thats able to pick up your voice clearly from more then 2-3 inches away and not pick up a lot of background noise, then this microphone is not for you. I'd suggest picking up an MXL for a few bucks more.

Best sounding USB Mic
This review is from: Blue Microphones - Snowball
Pros: The Snowball mic is the best USB model that I have ever used. Easy to set up, with three modes to select from depending on what type of recording you want to do. Stand is solid and high quality. Mic can pivot up / down and stand height can be adjusted.
Cons: It is much bigger than the pictures make it seem. Need lots of desk space for it.
Other Thoughts: Probably want to get a pop filter to put in front of this. Sounds incredible, but need to be close for voiceover audio. Easy to setup in Windows 7. Just go into control panel audio device settings and adjust your input level volume. No drivers needed. Tested this with Adobe Soundbooth with great results.

Works with Windows 7 64-bit
This review is from: Blue Microphones - Snowball
Pros: Makes great sounding voice recordings.
Cons: Will only work when plugged into a computer USB port.
Other Thoughts: I bought elsewhere. It wasn't clear to me when I bought it that it would work with Windows 7 64-bit and it works perfectly on my computer. An impressive microphone.

Couldn't expect more
This review is from: Blue Microphones - Snowball
Pros: Great microphone. I use Skype all the time and this mic is incredible, people can hear me from across the room. I also need a good mic for recording vocals for my music project, and so far I really couldn't ask for more.
Cons: Looks hysterical on my desk.

Blown Away
This review is from: Blue Microphones - Snowball
Pros: I was blown away by the audio quality on this Mic - use it for video Podcasts teamed up with Camtasa Studio and have had many compliments on my audio since I have gotten it. A Must have, best priced professional mic out there.
Cons: None.. At all.. I suppose the small stand, but I just put it on top of something and can always buy a different stand if I want one.

I have fine hair, but I have a lot of it. It has this fun little wave in it that makes me either straighten my hair or go full on beach waves...so I must use product in my hair...all the time! This is great for scrunching my hair and getting great waves without being all crunchy as well as providing great lift for the days I straighten my hair too. Great product!
Prior to trying this mousse I've been using a drug store brand that gives me more volume and costs less.
I have the thinnest, limpest hair ever seen on planet earth and it's even worse in Denver where the air is so dry. I've tried so many different volumizing products and never found anything that works until this one. This gives my hair so much life and texture. I'm not the sort of person to be loyal to a beauty product, but this will be the first.
I'm not exaggerating when I say this is the only styling product that has ever lived up to my expectations.. I have fine, straight hair that has never done anything for me. This mousse adds volume and just enough hold without leaving behind a sticky residue. I've never been someone who received compliments on my hair, but this product changed everything for me. I hope Birchbox continues to carry this product for years to come.
I didn't notice much of a difference when using this product. I have baby fine and thin hair so I need as much help as possible from a volumizin/thickening product and this just wasn't the best. I prefer other uplifting foams.
I have pin straight , flat, heavy hair and this mousse gives it life.Be careful not to use too much... it will be stiff.
I really love this mousse!! It doesn't take much to give my hair lots of lift and fullness. However, it doesn't make my hair stiff or unnatural. Need to reorder!
I bought this at a salon a while back. It is light and doesn't weigh my hair down. However, it has a good hold and makes my fine hair fuller.
Great product! It smells wonderful, you don't have to use to much, and it keeps my hair volumized and light. One of the few mousse products I've used that doesn't add weight and doesn't feel like there's product in my hair!
This mousse is amazing! You can tell that when you dispense it into your hands that it is thick and is going to be very volumizing. I absolutely love it!

"Keith Whitley, Ricky Skaggs, and Marty Stewart — I saw them at Horse Pens 40 in the '70s when they were 13 years old," remembers Boley — founder and executive director of the Alabama Bluegrass Music Hall of Fame — of the future music stars. "And they were wearing it out. That got my blood boiling — to see these kids — who are now superstars." Boley and Williams continued traveling to gatherings across the country, all the while discussing how to bring their passion to their home state.
"Bluegrass people are just unbelievable," says Boley, who was seeking to recreate the family atmosphere that he witnessed. "They're friendly, you can walk into a campsite where there's a jam session, sit down, jam if you want to, listen — they'll offer you food…"
But their first step, says Boley, was finding a venue. The two set out to transform Glen's small farm, located in Webster's Chapel, into a place for music. After two years of renovations and planning, which included building a stage, installing electricity and designating a camp site area, the festival debuted in August 1992. The name "Foggy Hollow" was born while observing the landscape over a cup of coffee on a Saturday morning on Williams' porch, recalls Boley.
"There's a little creek that runs right down through a hollow. We both looked down across the field at that little creek, and there was just a layer of fog down there. We both looked at each other and spoke 'Foggy Hollow' about the same time."
After two decades, Boley's "got thousands" of memories from the festival, but his personal favorite was seeing Saturday morning personality Cousin Cliff perform his magic show.
"That has to be one of my favorite all-time things," he remembers. "I grew up watching Cousin Cliff every time I could."
This year's gathering is pulling out all the stops in terms of talent, and includes the Georgia-based group Russell Moore and IIIrd Tyme Out, who first appeared on the Foggy Hollow Stage at the inaugural event. The roster also includes The Rigney Family Bluegrass Band, vocalist Kelli Johnson and the festival's own Foggy Hollow Bluegrass Band, which is led by Williams himself.
There's also a children's stage, where parents can still keep an eye on their kids while listening to music.
"The kids can just run wild," says Boley of the open atmosphere. "I have parents that call me … and they say 'My kids are driving me crazy — when is Foggy Hollow?'"
Tent and RV camping are free with a two-day ticket. Space is first-come, first served.
Boley, who claims that Foggy Hollow is the longest-running bluegrass festival in the state, knows it's a wonder that they are still hosting the festival, "As we get older … it's getting harder and harder," he says of battling the economy and natural disasters to keep things going.
But they aren't packing up the fiddles just yet.
"The rumor going around is this is our last show, and people ask me that. I say 'Well, I've been hearing it's our last show for 10 years.'"
Erin Williams is a graduate of Faith Christian School and the University of Alabama. She is a performing arts aide for the Washington Post Style section.

Not that Eon Productions dropped the ball next time out. "Goldfinger" sees a marked difference in tone a year on, with a sly humor often absent from its predecessors and fantastical elements, including lasers, razor-tipped bowler hats and a team of aviatrixes led by a woman called Pussy Galore (Honor Blackman). And despite all that, the film's a winner, establishing that 007 could be a lot of fun and appeal to a wider audience, while still maintaining a degree of integrity. The film starts with Bond in Miami, asked to observe questionable gold dealer Auric Goldfinger (Gert Frobe). The mission sees Bond's latest ladyfriend memorably murdered by being covered in gold paint, and 007 heads to Switzerland to investigate further, eventually ending up back in the U.S where Goldfinger intends to irradiate the gold in Fort Knox. It's the first of the three films so far to really, truly flirt with absurdity, but it just stops short of full-on camp, with Connery maintaining some grit, but having a little more fun (and no wonder he's enjoying himself; he struck a deal during filming to get 5% of the gross on the film). The villains are cracking, the girls are kick-ass, and much of the classic 007 iconography, including Ken Adams' stunning production design and the Aston Martin DB7, is here. And while it might be somewhat lacking in jaw-dropping stuntwork, the fights are pretty strong. Finally, this sees the real establishment of another tradition, the Bond song, with Shirley Bassey contributing one of the real classics of the franchise. The Roger Moore era would take some of the sillier aspects of this one and build on them, but here, they feel entirely refreshing.

I can live with this list. Glad to see Lazenby's version in there. Skyfall sucked.
SirG | March 3, 2014 3:44 PM

5. The World is Not Enough
...and my bottom 5:

A pity both Peter Hunt and George Lazenby didn't return for 'Diamonds Are Forever'...
PROSPERITY | November 11, 2012 9:27 PM
Nice work.
Alan E. Smith | November 9, 2012 11:21 AM
This is my top 5 exactly. 'From Russia With Love' and 'On Her Majesty's Secret Service' are at the top: the former for its epitome of cool '60s, Cold War-era style; the latter for its eclectic direction, visuals and layered story.
James | November 8, 2012 6:14 PM
Nice list. My Top 5:
1.) Goldfinger
2.) On Her Majesty's Secret Service
3.) For Your Eyes Only
4.) The Living Daylights
5.) Quantum of Solace

No particular order-
Casino Royale
On Her Majesty's Service
A View To Kill
A License To Kill (My first Bond film)
Dan Ashcroft | November 8, 2012 3:44 PM
'Skyfall' isn't just the best Bond film, I think it's in a class of its own. From the opening shot where a few bars of the Bond theme introduces us to an out of focus shot of Bond holding a gun, every scene is superbly directed, shot and acted. The plot is actually very similar to 'The World is Not Enough' - a villain with a vendetta against M and MI6, the bombing of the MI6 HQ in London and M having a much more central role. It's set largely in a very real looking modern Britain and that gives a less glamorous but more believable feel. Ben Whishaw steals every scene as Q.
As runners up for best Bond film, I'd have 'Casino Royale', 'On Her Majesty's Secret Service' and 'The Spy Who Loved Me', the last being the most inventive of the series.
