Greetings Varking,
Thank you for your time to send us the compiled questions.
Most of the questions seem very well thought and very important to Royal Blood.
We are more than happy to deliver the questions for the devs to answer them as much as they can.
Thank you again.
25) Other than instanced PvP that you have to que up for are there any maps in-game where pvp can happen in the open world?
26) You recently released a chapter 0 lore video, do you play to keep doing these even after launch? How many videos are you planning on doing around the lore of the game?
27) Will there be another beta test or is launching the game the next step?
Thank you for taking the time to submit these and have some of them answered. Its cool to have devleopers and comminity team interacting with the community.
19) Have players played how you thought so far or has the beta surprised you to find out players doing things differently than anticipated?
20) Will there be a steam client or facebook gameroom client? A lot of players would love to play this on their PC as well if they don't have a device strong enough to play the game.
21) Did the beta testers surprise you in how far they progressed?
22) Will you host your own discord server and reddit page for the community?
23) What has been the most fun raid encounter to work on?
24) When the team isn't working on Royal Blood what other games are you playing?
12) Can we get a world clock in-game?
13) What type of push notifications can we expect in-game?
14) Will we ever have like 40 man raids like World of Warcraft? It doesnt have t be 40 but something more than 4-5 people we have seen so far.
15) Any chance we will see something built into the engine to help players upload or live stream their gameplay to YouTube or Twitch?
16) How will solo players and small guilds be able to compete with large guilds?
17) What was the funniest bug you guys have encountered during the development of the game?
18) What was your favorite moment from the beta so far?
8) During the beta there were many opportunities to earn your paid currency via contests you ran, after launch will this continue?
9) Are there plans to add voice chat into the game that can be toggled by chat channel? For instance, enabling voice chat in group play but disabling it in your guild? That way the player can pick and choose when the listen to other players vs typing.
10) You guys say there will be on global server. Will this server be separate from the Chinese server because I know they have been playing for a bit.
11) Something I don't think a lot of people have thought about is that this game is actually compatible on Chromebooks that can run Android Games and not a lot of MMOs can be run on this type of device. Did you guys do anything specific to get it to run on Googles ChromeOS running Android or does it just come that way out of the box via developer tools?
1) Will you add more classes in the future? I have seen through discord and the forums that people have been asking for there to be a healer class.
2) Will there be male and female for all the classes? Was gender locking done because it reduces the amount of models that need to be rendered in the larger 100v100 battles?
3) How long do you want Seasons to last for pvp?
4) For Guilds that fall behind early will there be any ways that they can catch up to other guilds?
5) Most people will play a bulk of the game on auto because that is the trend in mobile MMOs at the moment, are there any rewards or secrets to find for those who would like to focus on exploring the map?
6) During the beta I could only get one megaphone a day for posting in the world chat. Is it a design choice to limit world chat or will that open up a bit upon launch?
7) How will you try to prevent gold sellers?
I will have the questions sent in later today!!
Would you be interested in doing a quick 10-20 question interview about this game and the community for our discord and reddit?
I understand that you want to make sure that no poor language is used or anyone spams. I just worry that when you require one person to approve all posts, it hampers discussions when you know your post won't actually be seen by the other users for hours or days and then replies could take days as well. But I understand why you all are doing that.

Some states are woking to block social media for sex offenders
By Ed Greenberger, THELAW.TV
Social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter have become so popular, many Americans now view them as part of everyday life. For millions of people, it's become a daily, if not hourly, ritual to update your Facebook status or "tweet" a message to your followers.
However, if you're a convicted sex offender, it is becoming increasingly difficult to be a part of the social network scene.
"There is growing sentiment in this country that sex offenders, particularly child predators, should not be allowed to use websites like Facebook," explains attorney Martin Sweet of legal information website THELAW.TV. "Many believe Facebook makes it too easy for a predator to become involved with an unknowing child."
Last week, a federal judge upheld a 2008 Indiana law that bans registered sex offenders from accessing Facebook and other websites that children can access. In her 18-page order, Judge Tanya Walton Pratt wrote that social networking websites, chat rooms and instant messaging have created a "virtual playground" for lurking sexual predators. Pratt also referenced a 2006 report by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children that indicated one in seven children had received online sexual solicitations.
The law does have its detractors, most notably the American Civil Liberties Union, which said last week that it will appeal the judge's ruling. ACLU attorney Ken Falk says that the law was created to protect children but it prevents sex offenders from using social media for political, business and religious purposes.
"The ACLU has an interesting argument, but many Americans no doubt feel protecting children from online predators is more important than allowing sex offenders to use Facebook for other purposes," stresses Sweet.
Other states have failed in their attempts to impose similar bans. In 2009, a federal judge blocked part of a Nebraska law that included a social networking ban for sex offenders. In February, a federal judge overturned a Louisiana law because it was, in his opinion, too broad and restrictive.
In May, Louisiana passed a new law that requires sexual offenders and child predators to state their criminal status on their social networking pages.
Sweet adds, "Louisiana's new law builds on current sex offender laws that require sex offenders to notify neighbors and the local school district of their residency."
This law, which goes into effect August 1, is the first of its kind in the nation. The authors of the legislation say they hope other states follow Louisiana's lead.

Hey Hungry Girl, Have you heard of Bragg Liquid Aminos? I've been told it's a good soy sauce alternative. Is it lower in sodium than soy sauce? What's the deal? Braggin' About It
Hi Braggin',
Great questions. Although I had heard of Bragg Liquid Aminos, I hadn't tried it until recently. (In all honesty, the name is weird and not exactly appetizing!) But after the "Chinese Food" episode of Hungry Girl aired on Food Network, I got TONS of emails from people saying how much they love the stuff so, of course, I had to check it out. After tasting it, I'd say it's more potent than soy sauce with a slightly smoky flavor -- not bad at all! So what exactly is it? According to Bragg's website, it's a "liquid protein concentrate" made from soybeans and purified water and a "healthy, gourmet replacement" for soy sauce. It's also touted as having no added table salt, and at first glance, it appears to be pretty low in sodium, with 160mg per serving. But a serving is actually ONLY 1/2 teaspoon. If you use an entire tablespoon (the normal serving size for soy sauce), it would come out to 960mg sodium, about the same as regular soy sauce. If you're watching your salt intake, your best bet is still reduced-sodium/lite soy sauce, which has about 540mg sodium per tablespoon. Why all the hype? As the name promises, it contains amino acids -- 16 of 'em. Aminos are the building blocks of protein, which is essential to pretty much every function of the body. (Find more info about protein and amino acids over at The World's Healthiest Foods website.) This stuff is also a good option for people with certain food allergies, because it's not fermented and it doesn't contain gluten. Plus, it has no artificial colorings or preservatives. Hmmm -- sounds like a lot to BRAGG about (tee-hee!)... You can find Liquid Aminos at natural-foods stores, like Whole Foods, and some regular grocery stores. It's even available in a 6-oz. spray bottle, which is pretty neat and helpful for portion control. Feel free to use it as an alternative in HG recipes that call for soy sauce -- but you might want to use a little less than called for, because the flavor is pretty intense! Bottom line? It's not lower in sodium than soy sauce, but it is a good option for people with gluten allergies. It's not a perfect swap for soy sauce, in terms of flavor, but it tastes good and will get the job done.
Hi Lisa, I love your show and your recipes, but I have a question about your Lord of the Onion Rings. I had a problem with the crumb mixture clumping up after I dipped the onion in the egg substitute. The first few onion rings came out fine, but then the crumbs started to stick to each other and not to the onion. Help! Ring Me Up
Hi Ring Me Up,
Those "faux-fried" onion rings are FANTASTIC, but the process can take some perfecting. Still, with just 155 calories, 1g fat, and 16g fiber (PointsPlus® value 4*) for a HUGE serving, it's definitely worth giving the recipe another try. I've got some tips that should help you out... Don't forget to shake off the excess egg substitute. This part of the directions is super-important. After you dip each ring in the egg, if you don't shake it well, the extra goo will drip into your crumb coating and cause the crumbs to clump together. Don't let this happen. Try the two-handed method. Use one hand to coat your rings in egg substitute, shake off the excess, and then use the other hand to coat the rings with crumbs. This way you won't transport the excess egg on your fingers into the crumb mixture. Use tongs or a fork to handle the rings. Then there's even less of a chance of eggy hands leading to eggy crumbs. If you use a fork, don't pierce the rings with it; just balance them on it. Use the seal-and-shake-to-coat method. Place your crumbs in a sealable container. After coating the rings with egg and shaking off the excess, add the rings to the container and seal. Then shake it until all the rings are coated! You can also do this in a sealable plastic bag. Want some video assistance with a little comedy thrown in for good measure? Check out this video of me making my famous Lord of the Onion Rings with my pal Jerry Trainor from iCarly. Click, people! Once you've got the original recipe down, check out these fun spins on the classic!

I called Linton a traitor to his country because he lied to the world about the CBI and the allegations in relation to diplomatic passports. Linton gave credence to Kroft's foolishness that the CBI functions like a mail order transaction.
Following this 60 Minutes event, the Prime Minister delivered an address to the Nation. He said among other things
'The campaign itself and some of its main actors, were not by and in themselves, a major surprise. We have in the past experienced attack after attack from members of the United Workers Party who we believe work for, or have common interests with persons like Chris Kalin of Henley and Partners. It was former Prime Minister Denzil Douglas who told us that Edison James approached him as a salesman on behalf of Henley and Partners. It is not in dispute that Lennox Linton travelled with him several times. Chris Kalin of Henley and Partners has never been disposed to Dominica, ever since the election of a Dominica Labour Party administration in 2000 and our subsequent refusal to hire them as the exclusive agent for our citizenship by investment programme.
Indeed, you will recall that I have outlined to you before, the close relationship between Henley & Partners and the Leader of the Opposition and the United Workers Party. They or persons introduced by them were major financiers of the UWP in the 2005 and 2009 elections. Indeed, I strongly believe their machinations may have led to the ascension to leadership of the UWP, by Mr. Lennox Linton.
I do not wish to speculate as to whether the program idea was that of CBS or Henley and Partners, but, at this point it really does not matter. I think that Chris Kalin and Linton grabbed the opportunity to convey the negative messages, images and impression of our countries to the world. ….
We have explained ad nauseum how the CBI Programme works and Linton is more than aware of that. Let me once again, stress that the CBI Programme is governed by legislation, and persons seeking citizenship of Dominica under the CBI have to undergo a most rigorous, yet transparent, due diligence exercise, that involves criminal, character and ethics checks, by international law enforcement agencies and authorities and due diligence agencies.
While it is no longer mandatory for face to face interviews to be done, it may be required if deemed necessary. Once due diligence reports are received, a committee of Government officials, review all of the documentation before recommending the granting of citizenship. If there is any doubt or concern, further questions or vetting will take place. In no instance is citizenship granted to any one, if the due diligence checks do not pass muster.
Ladies and Gentlemen, quite simply, Lennox Linton, with the whole world watching, had a choice to make. He could have come down on the side of Dominica, or he could have sided with those who wish to see the demise of the Dominica CBI Program for their own selfish reasons. Which side did he choose? Certainly, not Dominica's!'
In relation to the diplomatic passports the Prime Minister said
''Let me turn now to the issue of diplomatic passports. We have said more than once that diplomatic passports are not sold under the CBI Programme or otherwise. We categorically refute the allegation that diplomatic passports are being sold by this Government as alleged or at all. It is regrettable that even in the face of constant denial and complete lack of any evidence that Mr. Linton would persist and insist on repeating his lies that such a practice exists. .
Parliamentarian Linton spoke on Sunday about the alleged sale of diplomatic passports to three individuals in particular. I wish now to address each of these allegations.
First off, it was said that Bahamian Rudolph King had been issued a Diplomatic passport and appointed Ambassador to Bahrain. Ladies and Gentlemen…that is a lie!
Rudolph King never applied for or was ever granted a passport of any sort, whether service, official or diplomatic, by the government of Dominica.
Rudolph King was never appointed ambassador to Bahrain.
The Government of Dominica has refuted this allegation by Linton on several occasions over the past 12 years, yet he persists in repeating it. This time, on international television.
I call on Lennox Linton one more time, to put up or shut up! To Lennox Linton I say – Provide evidence of Rudolph King having been issued a Dominica passport or having been appointed Ambassador to Bahrain. If you cannot do this, then do the decent thing and apologize to the people of Dominica!
Secondly, Linton claims that attempts were made to appoint Francisco Corallo to the FAO, while he was on an international crime watch list. This again, is a lie.
In June of 2011, the Government of Dominica wrote to the Italian government requesting a no-objection to the appointment of Corallo as its representative to the FAO. The Italian government was concerned in about October/ November 2011 that Corallo had considerable business interests in Italy, and was not comfortable agreeing to him becoming a Diplomat at the FAO. That was the right of the Italian Government to do, and this put an end to the matter.
At this time Corallo was recognized as a successful business man, and was at this time, given in 2011, a clean bill of health by the Ministry of the Interior and Foreign Affairs of Italy. .
It was almost a full year later that reports surfaced of Corallo's name appearing on an international watch list. By this time, the pursuit of his appointment had already ended, because of Italy's concern about his expansive business operations in that country. The Italian authorities never once made reference to any concerns about his integrity, alleged criminal background or watch list. .
So it was false and malicious of Lennox Linton to give the impression that at the time of the Government's request for Italy's consent to his appointment, Corallo was on an international watch list. That was simply not true. The facts, as made public before, clearly shows that the correspondence to Italy was dispatched in June 2011, and Corallo's name first appeared on an international watch list in late 2012. Incidentally, Corallo has to date not been convicted of any major crime, as suggested by the program on Sunday. So that is lie No. 2!
The third person of interest named by Linton on Sunday was Diezani Alison- Madueke, a former Head of the Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries and senior Minister of the Government of Nigeria. Alison-Madueke was also The recipient of Forbes Magazine's Best of Africa Award In leadership. This is the sterling record which Alison-Madueke had when I invited her to serve as a voice and face of Dominica in Africa, a continent that lies untapped to most countries in the region.
It was some time after I spoke to Alison-Maduake that she was approached by British authorities and detained for questioning in the United Kingdom. She has up to this day, not been charged with any crime and is not wanted by any country. She currently resides in London, England, a free woman. However, when the news broke of her detention, the Government of Dominica voiced its concerns publicly and made clear that its association with Alison-Madueke was suspended until such time as she was cleared of all suspicion of wrong doing.
As I said earlier, to date no charges have been brought, but still the Government of Dominica has no connection with the former international figure, based on the concerns as expressed back then by the British authorities.'
The Prime Minister was clear, no sales and no criminal on the run was given any appointment or passport.
Mr Sam Raphael, who ran as an independent against the Government some years ago, went on Q 95 and told the Nation that the 60 Minutes program was a hit job. He added that he was interviewed by CBS's staffers who were not interested in what he was saying because he was not eating their slosh when Linton swallowed with cool-aid. He also said or implied that Linton's portrayal of the CBI was false. Linton and his Cabal went for Sam's throat.
Mr Gregor Nassief, another successful and independent citizen, condemned Linton. Mr Nassief repudiated three of Linton's many lies frontally. He wrote
'ACT #1: Mail order is the buying of goods or services by mail delivery. The buyer places an order for the desired products with the merchant through some remote method such as through a telephone call or web site. Then, the products are delivered to the customer. Acquiring Citizenship to Dominica is nothing like mail order. Amazon.com or any mail order company does not conduct an extensive due diligence on the buyer before agreeing to sell. Such due diligences are thorough and pick up every material detail on the applicant's past. The requirement for a " face to face" interview was removed to remain competitive in the market place as other jurisdictions first abolished this and can only be justified on the merits of the integrity and robustness of the due diligence process. The steps in the process are available on line: http://cbiu.gov.dm/citizenship/how-to-apply/ To suggest the two processes are similar is intentionally misleading and damages the destination and its CBI program. ;.
FACT:…. BUT there is absolutely no evidence that the public is aware of that "we are selling passports to criminals" and that these diplomatic passports are being sold for cash under the table. The Government has also stated categorically and repeatedly that Rudolph King was never appointed ambassador to Bahrain and has never held a Dominica passport. This was the most damaging aspect of your presentation on 60 minutes and you have provided absolutely no proof of these assertions. It is telling that you would discuss the details of diplomatic passports on a 60 minutes program focussed on CBI knowing full well that one has nothing to do with the other. Your intent to further your agenda at the expense of the country's reputation for political gain is clear…
FACT: FACT: Again, there is no evidence of "under the table trading". That is your speculation. '
Henley & Partners in their press release of the 12th January 2017 confirmed Linton's misrepresentation of the CBI programs. They said
'Caribbean Citizenship-by-Investment Programs
Following a report broadcast on the 60 minutes television program in the US, Henley & Partners, the globally leading firm in citizenship by investment, is concerned about the one-sided image that the report paints of Caribbean Citizenship-by-Investment (CBI) programs.
Henley & Partners has been involved in the region for over 20 years and has worked with all Caribbean CBI programs to date. While every program is exposed to certain risks and challenges, the firm is of the view that today, the Caribbean citizenship programs are generally very well run and do not pose a security threat as was suggested in the TV program.
Dr. Christian H. Kalin, a specialist in immigration and citizenship law and policy and the Chairman of Henley & Partners, who was also interviewed on the TV program, says that what was stated in the program also regarding security risks is inaccurate and does not reflect the current reality. Kalin states: "Of course there is always room for improvement, but generally speaking the Caribbean has well governed and secure programmes. The alleged sale of diplomatic passports is an entirely different matter and lies outside the scope of Citizenship-by-Investment programs. I believe that major countries such as the US actually recognize those facts and will continue to work with the Caribbean governments to further strengthen the measures already in place. No Caribbean government is interested in having their CIP cause a problem to the international community."
Kalin continues: "It is important also to realize that Citizenship-by-Investment programs have played and continue to play an important part in attracting much needed foreign direct investment in the Caribbean. The programs are therefore of vital economic interest in the region and have helped several economies, notably St Kitts and Nevis, Dominica as well as Antigua and Barbuda, to sustain sufficient capital inflows during economically challenging periods."
Henley & Partners and its Chairman Dr. Kalin are concerned that only small and selective extracts of Dr. Kalin's carefully differentiated interview were aired, so that the TV program did not reflect his views comprehensively. The comments that were aired have not properly communicated the context in which he spoke.'
I noticed you made no mention of the Prime Minister's numerous. Yet you swallowed Linton's story hook line and sinker. But what I consider disingenuous on your part is the attempt to misrepresent the debate. We have addressed the issue of diplomatic passports repeatedly. The allegation made by Linton and 60 Minutes is that the Government and no doubt they implied the Prime Minister sold passports to criminal on the run. This is false. I noted you did not repeat this allegation. Instead your dressed this pig in a wedding dress when you wrote 'With regard to Dominica the report also featured the fact that several of our island's diplomats have been arrested or are persons of ill repute. ' While I could challenge the accuracy of your statement, because it is not accurate, the fact is that a couple of persons appointed Goodwill Ambassadors have had their appointments revoked by the Government because of events which have occurred after the fact, and in some cases 2 years or more afterwards. This has never been denied by the Government. What has been, and is being, denied is the allegation that the Government and Prime Minister has sold diplomatic passports under the table.
Further, Linton has had ample opportunity to provide the evidence of these alleged dodgy sales when interviewed by Huffington Post. The following is an excerpt of this interview
'Q: Why this focus on diplomatic passports?
A.The diplomatic passport selling business is different from the Citizenship by Investment programme. This money is not going into the treasury, it's going into the pockets of corrupt officials. People are purchasing [diplomatic] passports and diplomatic immunity. Alison [disgraced former Nigerian oil minister Diezani Alison-Madueke] bought a diplomatic passport and bought a position. She's done nothing with that position [of "Trade and Investment Commissioner for Dominica"] that I'm aware of, we didn't even know about this until five months later [when police in London arrested her]. It was the same with [Francesco] Corallo in Italy, when police came to arrest him, he claimed diplomatic immunity. We only ever learn about who gets our diplomatic passports afterwards, through Google.
The evidence is clear as daylight that our government has been selling diplomatic passports to crooks and criminals.
Q: I haven't seen any evidence yet. Where is the evidence that money changed hands?
A.Alison [Diezani Alison-Madueke] wound up with a diplomatic passport within six days of meeting [the Prime Minister of Dominica, Roosevelt] Skerrit. The police found millions in cash in Alison's house. [Embattled Macau billionaire Ng] Lap Seng said in a U.S. court that he got a diplomatic passport because he had promised to invest twenty million dollars in Dominica. The evidence is circumstantial.
Q: Speaking of evidence, the last thing I heard, [UWP member] Thomas Fontaine and the government were taking each other to court over his allegation that suspected terrorist mastermind Dawood Ibrahim had acquired a Dominican passport. Since then, nothing. What's happening there?
A.The government don't want this court case to move forward. They have too much to hide.
Q: But where is the evidence that Dawood Ibrahim got a Dominican passport?
A.My understanding is that Thomas Fontaine received a tip-off.'
I am not sure about you, but when a Leader of the Opposition hands up this level of gossip mongering as his evidence of alleged sales, he must be condemned. And when he goes on the international stage to poison his country's reputation with more lies or rumourmongering … well you know my position.

A big hotel with its own indoor water park is being built near Disneyland as a growing Wisconsin resort operator brings a new tourist attraction to Southern California.
Construction officially started Wednesday on a $300-million woodsy-themed inn and family entertainment complex in Garden Grove that will be the first of its kind in the region.
Unlike most other water parks in the West, the recreation areas at Great Wolf Lodge Southern California will be almost entirely indoors and accessible only to overnight guests when it opens in early 2016.
The development on Harbor Boulevard south of Disneyland is a gamble in scope and style. The suites-only lodge will have 600 rooms and its immense aqua attraction will not be exposed to the sunshine that once made Orange County an agricultural oasis.
"We are weatherproof fun," said Susan Storey of Great Wolf Resorts Inc., which already operates water parks in the frigid winters of the Midwest and baking summers of Texas. "It doesn't matter whether it's hot or cold, sunny or snowing."
Making the 100,000-square-foot water park exclusive to resort guests is central to its appeal, she said.
"It's never overrun, never overcrowded," Storey said. "And there are always plenty of towels."
Suites, which sleep at least six, will start at about $250 a night, she said. Each unit will have a refrigerator and a microwave oven.
The 12-acre hotel, resort and conference center will be developed by Colorado real estate firm McWhinney in a joint venture with co-owner and operator Great Wolf Resorts. The vast complex will have multiple recreational options under one roof intended to entertain guests' children.
Among them will be miniature golf, a motion-simulation theater, an arcade, "mini" bowling and a kid spa offering ice cream-themed manicures and pedicures. There will also be an adventure game in which kids embark on quests through the resort, and evening story time by the lodge's grand lobby fireplace.
Dining options will include a bar and grill, a pizza parlor, a hamburger joint and a sweet shop.
But the raison d'être of Great Wolf Lodge will be the water park, with zones intended for toddlers up to adults. The Howlin' Tornado slide will start in a funnel and drop six stories, and the Wolf Tail slide will take riders in a 360-degree loop.
Great Wolf hopes that its proximity to Disneyland and near other regional theme parks will encourage families to add a day at the beginning or end of their trips to include the water park or perhaps make Great Wolf Lodge their base for a Southern California jaunt.
The Garden Grove complex will be the 13th Great Wolf Lodge resort in the country.
Garden Grove has worked to encourage hotel development in recent years, City Manager Matthew Fertal said, but Great Wolf held special appeal as a branded destination with its own entertainment.
"We want something unique for Garden Grove, not just hotels for people going to Disneyland," Fertal said. "This puts Garden Grove on the map."
The city will give the developers $47 million in funds earmarked for redevelopment to help subsidize construction of the resort.
"It was a classic redevelopment site with blighted uses," Fertal said of the location on Harbor Boulevard north of the 22 Freeway. The property previously held a low-rent motel, a trailer park and a bar.
The new resort will pay the city an estimated $8 million a year in taxes, he said, mostly raised from bed taxes paid by guests.
The city has also approved a 780-room hotel project for a San Diego developer that hopes to draw people going to the Anaheim Convention Center. Anaheim officials recently approved a $180-million expansion of the convention center that is set to begin this summer.
Meanwhile, the Great Wolf Resort will be one of only a few full-service hotels to be built in the region in the last decade, said Irvine hotel industry analyst and property broker Alan Reay of Atlas Hospitality.
"Great Wolf is an established company," Reay said. "They have a great track record."
Reay said he was surprised to learn that the water park would be mostly indoors, but commended Great Wolf for being the first in the state to combine a hotel with a water park.
"This is a pioneering project for Orange County and Southern California," he said. "You have Disneyland, Knott's Berry Farm and this is right in the middle. It's perfect for this location."

An affordable 12-string with a hand-selected solid spruce top, mahogany back and sides, and powerful tone.
The Alvarez Artist Series AD60-12 Dreadnought Twelve String Acoustic Guitar model is the 12-string version of the best-selling AD60 and sounds incredible. The AD60-12 is a member of the Alvarez Artist '60 Series. Alvarez was careful to get the construction just right to allow this series to sing, and deliver a player experience that's exceptional for a mid price instrument.
The term "solid top" of course refers to the soundboard of an acoustic guitar being made of solid wood, rather than being laminated. However, just because the top is solid, it doesn't necessarily mean the sound automatically benefits from this feature. The tone of the instrument only improves significantly when the whole guitar is built correctly to really release the energy a solid soundboard can generate. The Artist Series is built to do exactly this.
Each model is designed to get the best out if its components, and for them to work together to produce a tone and player experience, rarely found in affordable instruments.
The sound is warm, open and powerful, and both the treble and bass registers are clearly present and balanced in relation to each other. These guitars feel right and are exciting to play and responsive.
The solid ˜A' grade Sitka spruce tops are hand selected from quarter-sawn wood. This ensures consistent quality, and its no secret better guitars are made from better wood. These tops not only look great but they are stiff and strong and finely grained. This allows them to be cut just that tiny bit thinner, which lets them dance a little more and produce a lot more vibration, and ultimately a richer tone.
All of the components are made of natural materials such as mother of pearl and abalone inlays, real bone saddles and nuts and rosewood appointments.
Case sold separately.

So I am looking at the "Would you date SE Cupp"in the single group.
I really do not like her, and would never date her or even want to be in her vicinity, but I DO believe she is an atheist.
She gives us all a bad name.
She will do or say anything for a buck-which is the only god she truly believes in.
Not all atheists have morals.

I am really not sure what to say about a site where I , Highly skilled in smartassery, but expert in nothing, am the no.9 "top member". Yet, here I am sharing the top 10 with a prestigious Dr. and glamorous Evil. How did this happen?
I think I know, but I could be wrong.
I am an atheist, that is true (not even an exorcism from Buddha himself could cast that demon out), but my life, thoughts and actions do not ALWAYS revolve around that fact.

I wonder if I am smart enough to be a member on this site.
Although the only requirement is you be non-religious, it almost seems like to "fit in" you need a degree in cosmology with a working knowledge of quantum physics, psychology, ecology and global history, and a minor in world religions and or philosophy.

I used whole milk, it's what we always have on hand. I used my belgian waffle maker, and got 2 waffles. Next time I'd double the recipe. I love the nutmeg flavor, it worked well with some real NH maple syrup. I plan on making these again for our Christmas Eve breakfast.
Oct 1, 2013
These were amazing! The aroma, while cooking, definitely made me think of fall and the good foods we all enjoy at this time of year. This will definitely be a keeper at my house. I really appreciate that these can be frozen and reheated in the toaster on a busy morning. Thank you, James, for sharing this wonderful recipe with TOH readers.
Mar 25, 2013
I added extra eggs to the recipe, because one seemed to be too little. Perhaps that threw off the quantities, but something seemed wrong--the waffles were quite tough.
Nov 21, 2012
These were yummy, but my family said that it wasn't a keeper.
Jul 7, 2012
these are a favorite in our house I make several batches at one time and freeze the rest for a quick breadfast in the mornings
Feb 21, 2012
to redo it I would separate the egg and add one more egg white, then beat the egg white and fold in after the rest of the ingredients. It was just too heavy

Great low fat waffle, easy to make and tasty to eat. All of our kids enjoyed them too! I substituted the oil with applesauce to save on a little more fat!
Jan 31, 2011
These were not good. Dry, no flavor. Needed sugar or something. Not sure. Will not make again.
Jan 3, 2011
family loved them :) I did add 3TBLS of brown sugar to the batter before making.
Jan 1, 2011
I added about 1/4 cup of brown sugar to the recipe which helped give it some more flavor. I also substituted unsweetened applesauce for the oil.

My years are like roller coasters. I always have something planned to look forward to, slowly climbing a calendar day by day. Finally, reaching the date is immediately followed by the accelerating rush toward a goal, hence the metaphor.
My years are like roller coasters. I always have something planned to look forward to, slowly climbing a calendar day by day. Finally, reaching the date is immediately followed by the accelerating rush toward a goal, hence the metaphor.
Generally, our goals are little trips of some sort. I like years punctuated with exclamation points. It�s nice when the excitement is spaced sort of evenly, but recently most of our fun adventures have been back-loaded into the first six months.
Because my work involves very long hours during the four-month tax season, by the time April 15 rolls around, I�m more than ready to throw hands in the air and not look back. The first half of this year was a kaleidoscope. I worked through April; we cruised in May, did Vegas in June and fished with Bug, Shingo and Sundae in July. Whew!
So now I�m ambling through September, mapping out future high points and when we�ll hit them. These final four months of the year are looking pretty good.
My sons have been on me to go to Florida for a poker tournament in Tampa. I�ve always had excuses that seemed valid at the time but have now used them all up.
So it looks like my roller coaster will be flinging me south. Tampa has a good tournament scheduled toward the end of October and I�m going to try to make it. More important than the poker, I�ll get to see Bret and Bart, which always is a total hoot.
And there�s another boon in our future before 2013 waves goodbye. Sundae and company normally come home each Christmas for a few days. But this year, they�ll be able to stay a couple of weeks and that�s indeed a very good thing.
Being brutally honest, it�s really all about Bug, who will definitely make this season special. Ann already is making plans and marking calendars. If Sundae and Shingo have any scheduling objections, that�s too bad.
Five-year-old Andrew has clear personal priorities. I�m sure Chuck E. Cheese will figure prominently in his itinerary, as will the Mike�s Farm hayride.
Having such a great ride in 2013 and into the future is a big deal to me. I�ve said many times I don�t like time flying by without grabbing some rings.
We�ve all heard, �Where�d the years go?� I won�t allow mine to coalesce into indistinguishable and uninteresting lumps because I was too clueless to make each year special while I was living through it.
Ann and I have both been very blessed with good health and a shared recognition that all special times should be treasured from major vacations down to simple leisurely glasses of wine on a patio.
We all circle nature�s hourglass. Shoes always drop, and things always change. So I say worry little about the future and more about celebrating the present.
It�s a great world and I�m enjoying the ride. Life is good and recognizing unique values of the countless moments that comprise it enhances it exponentially.

Diabetes management requires awareness. Know what makes your blood sugar level rise and fall — And how to control these day-to-day factors.
Keeping your blood sugar levels within the range recommended by your doctor can be challenging. That's because many things make your blood sugar levels change, sometimes unexpectedly. Following are some factors that can affect your blood sugar levels.
Healthy eating is a cornerstone of healthy living — with or without diabetes. But if you have diabetes, you need to know how foods affect your blood sugar levels. It's not only the type of food you eat but also how much you eat and the combinations of food types you eat.
What to do:
Learn about carbohydrate counting and portion sizes. A key to many diabetes management plans is learning how to count carbohydrates. Carbohydrates are the foods that often have the biggest impact on your blood sugar levels. And for people taking mealtime insulin, it's crucial to know the amount of carbohydrates in your food, so you get the proper insulin dose.
Learn what portion size is appropriate for each type of food. Simplify your meal planning by writing down portions for the foods you eat often. Use measuring cups or a scale to ensure proper portion size and an accurate carbohydrate count.
Avoid sugar-sweetened beverages. Sugar-sweetened beverages — including those sweetened with high fructose corn syrup or sucrose — tend to be high in calories and offer little in the way of nutrition. And because they cause blood sugar to rise quickly, it's best to avoid these types of drinks if you have diabetes.
The exception is if you are experiencing a low blood sugar level. Sugar-sweetened beverages, such as soda, juice and sports drinks, can be used as an effective treatment for quickly raising blood sugar that is too low.
Physical activity is another important part of your diabetes management plan. When you exercise, your muscles use sugar (glucose) for energy. Regular physical activity also helps your body use insulin more efficiently.
These factors work together to lower your blood sugar level. The more strenuous your workout, the longer the effect lasts. But even light activities — such as housework, gardening or being on your feet for extended periods — can improve your blood sugar.
Check your blood sugar level. Check your blood sugar level before, during and after exercise, especially if you take insulin or medications that lower blood sugar. Exercise can lower your blood sugar levels even a day later, especially if the activity is new to you, or if you're exercising at a more intensive level. Be aware of warning signs of low blood sugar, such as feeling shaky, weak, tired, hungry, lightheaded, irritable, anxious or confused.
If you use insulin and your blood sugar level is below 100 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL), or 5.6 millimoles per liter (mmol/L), have a small snack before you start exercising to prevent a low blood sugar level.
Insulin and other diabetes medications are designed to lower your blood sugar levels when diet and exercise alone aren't sufficient for managing diabetes. But the effectiveness of these medications depends on the timing and size of the dose. Medications you take for conditions other than diabetes also can affect your blood sugar levels.
When you're sick, your body produces stress-related hormones that help your body fight the illness, but they also can raise your blood sugar level. Changes in your appetite and normal activity also may complicate diabetes management.
The liver normally releases stored sugar to counteract falling blood sugar levels. But if your liver is busy metabolizing alcohol, your blood sugar level may not get the boost it needs from your liver. Alcohol can result in low blood sugar shortly after you drink it and for as many as 24 hours more.
Changes in hormone levels the week before and during menstruation can result in significant fluctuations in blood sugar levels. And in the few years before and during menopause, hormone changes may result in unpredictable variations in blood sugar levels that complicate diabetes management.
Most forms of birth control can be used by women with diabetes without a problem. However, oral contraceptives may raise blood sugar levels in some women.
If you're stressed, the hormones your body produces in response to prolonged stress may cause a rise in your blood sugar level. Additionally, it may be harder to closely follow your usual diabetes management routine if you're under a lot of extra pressure.
The more you know about factors that influence your blood sugar level, the more you can anticipate fluctuations — and plan accordingly. If you're having trouble keeping your blood sugar level in your target range, ask your diabetes health care team for help.

| 19.1°C Dublin
QPR and Reading both remain without a win in the Barclays Premier League this season after cancelling each other out at Loftus Road this afternoon.
The visitors began the brighter and took the lead in the 16th minute, former QPR defender Kaspars Gorkss volleying in after Rangers were all at sea defending a corner.
The hosts were booed off at half-time but ramped up the pressure at the start of the second half and equalised in the 66th minute through Djibril Cisse.
And QPR would have won it but for a brilliant save from Alex McCarthy to deny Adel Taarabt, the second stunning stop of the afternoon from the Reading keeper.
The result did little to help either team, with Rangers remaining five points from safety - although they did climb off the bottom for 24 hours at least - and Reading only a point ahead.
Brian McDermott's side were looking to bounce back from their remarkable Capital One Cup defeat by Arsenal in midweek, where they led 4-0 only to lose 7-5 after extra-time.
There was no hangover as they began with much more urgency than the home side and Jobi McAnuff's dangerous cross had be to cleared from in front of the near post by Anton Ferdinand, before Noel Hunt saw his shot deflected just wide.
Cisse was back in the QPR side and had dyed his hair blue for the occasion, and the Frenchman had Rangers' first decent effort in the 12th minute with a shot just over the angle of post and bar.
Reading possessed much the greater threat, though, and they took a deserved lead in the 16th minute from a Nicky Shorey corner.
Sean Morrison headed against the bar and Gorkss volleyed in his first Premier League goal, with Julio Cesar getting a hand to the ball but only helping it into the net.
The Latvian declined to celebrate against the club he left last summer but QPR will be sick of the sight of him after Gorkss also netted in Reading's Capital One Cup win earlier this season.
The home fans began to vent their frustration and the chances their side were creating were hardly clear-cut ones, with Cisse screwing a shot wide and Taarabt firing over and then twice shooting straight at McCarthy.
QPR did go much closer in the 38th minute after Morrison fouled Jamie Mackie on the edge of the box.
Indeed they would have scored but for a stunning save from McCarthy, who pushed Esteban Granero's free-kick onto the bar, with Jose Bosingwa firing the rebound just over.
Three minutes into the second half Granero was given another chance from virtually the same position when Jay Tabb felled Samba Diakite, but this time he curled his shot just wide.
Reading seemed content to sit on their lead and QPR began to pile on the pressure, with Junior Hoilett and Cisse both seeing shots blocked, but still the goal would not come.
The hosts' momentum was disrupted by an injury to Hunt, who caught an elbow in the face from Granero, which referee Michael Oliver deemed to be accidental.
It did not take QPR long to pick up where they left off, though, and this time they got their reward as Cisse took one touch to control a cross from Bosingwa and beat Morrison before finding the bottom corner.
Taarabt then continued his personal duel with McCarthy but again the keeper was equal to the 25-yard shot, diving to his right to push it away.
Reading have found holding onto leads impossible so far this season but they set out to restore their advantage, with substitute Jimmy Kebe firing just wide after a great run and Jason Roberts seeing a shot blocked by Ferdinand.
It was QPR who looked more likely to find a winner, though, and Taarabt thought he had when he was played clean through by Cisse in the 83rd minute, but McCarthy stuck out a hand and a foot to divert the shot behind.
The striker had run off to celebrate and held his head in his hands but, great save though it was, he really should have scored.
There was a frenetic five minutes of injury time featuring scares for both sides and a booking for diving for Reading substitute Adam Le Fondre, but no more goals.

Missouri orders Blue Springs day care to shut down
State alleges operator slapped 17-month-old boy
The Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services said it is moving to revoke the family child care home license of a Blue Springs day care after a child was injured last week.
State officials have already suspended the license of the home-based business on Northwest Trenton Place.
In documents given to KMBC 9 News, the state accuses Mary K. Douglas, who goes by the name of Kathy, of slapping a 17-month-old child and holding him in time out last week. The papers said Douglas and another woman held the child down and he repeatedly hit his head on a cabinet.
The documents said the boy's mother had been checking in with the center by text and had learned that the boy had been having a tough day. When she got home, the mother noticed the boy later had red streaks on the side of his face above his eye, a swollen eyelid, a bruise near his elbow, and something that appeared to be scratch marks on his face. She took him to Children's Mercy Hospital for an examination.
Investigators said another child reported seeing Douglas slap the boy as he was coming in from outside. The second child also said leaders at the center used a rope or bungee cord to keep the 17-month-old restrained on a cot during nap time.
After initially suspending the center's license, state officials informed Douglas that they planned to revoke it. The license, which was issued in December, allowed Douglas to have as many as 10 children in the home.
Cathy Smith, a friend of Douglas who leads the Blue Springs Child Care Association, said she was shocked by the news.
"I've never seen her be anything but kind and loving to children," she told KMBC 9's Martin Augustine.
Smith said Douglas is a strong advocate for children and the allegations don't seem to fit. She said Douglas is working to find an attorney.
Douglas has 10 days to appeal the license suspension and 30 days to challenge the plan to revoke it.

This got attention as the Mail and a few Tory MP's demanded the BBC heads be burnt at the stake for heresy. Was there reason for the reaction? Not that I can see from the 40 minutes or so I gave it. If your opposed to the idea of fiction showing what happens after the current monarch is dead then not for you (also don't do House of Cards UK season 2) but hardly heresy. Like any fictional thing based on real people, the portrayal of people isn't 100% accurate with some people have personalities completely changed for story purposes (Charlotte Riley's Kate Middleton bears no resemblance to the actual person bar being the right gender). Where I had disquiet was having Diana (Katie Brayben) as a ghost (did feel like intruding on private grief there) and one scene
basically Mike Bartlett decided the Queen shares his values.
It felt like it gladly did TV and used it for sets, which led to lovely palace sets but also some really poor ones like the badly fake 10 Downing Street, but didn't adapt the play for it. Using dialogue to say what your doing makes sense in a play where the audience might struggle to see but in a TV production where the camera is zoomed in? Feels clunky. Cast is pretty good and do tend to look like the people they are meant to be playing. Dialogue is mixed, Charles Shakespearean monologues can work very well but I do wonder if it might have been better if other characters spoke in a more casual fashion and there are some extreme clunkers. Bartlett clearly has a political side and it really comes across in the play, particularly with Harry (Richard Goulding) and Jess (Tamara Lawrance) where the values of the writer beats you over the head. Which is a pity becuase, once you get past a quite offensive introduction by Jess that should have seen her barred from Harry's presence, there is the basis of a good idea wit Harry's storyline
the prince with no purpose, not sure what to do with his life.
There are themes that if done right, could make a great play like the constitutional crises if a monarch refused to sign the law for example but by the time I left, it just had been feeling empty, that it hadn't turned the idea's into strong substance.

Customer Reviews
Hi There Urby!
I recently purchased this cool William watchcase for my father in law. He has an amazing watch collection, and still has all of the original boxes, in which he stores his watches. William offers him so much space, and the product just looks so regal and luxurious. This happens to be his favourite colour, and he seems to be really happy with it. Thank you for such an amazing product and the prompt delivery.
This is such a great product. Absolutely amazing
My collection of stunning luxury watches has been around for quite some time now, but I now needed a bigger box, and William was the right box for the job. The compartments are so spacious and allow each watch to comfortably rest in there. The faux suede interior is an upgrade compared to the previous box that barely did anything to keep my watches scratch-free.
My brother's new watch box
William is a really spacious watch case, and I decided to surprise my brother with it. He has an amazing collection of watchboxes and was looking for another watchbox to store his smaller collection of dress watches. I thought william was perfect for it, and so did he! After he was done admiring this amazing product he decided to immediately store his watches in there. He really did love it, thanks Urby.
I love this William watchcase so much, but I just wish I could show them off better.
I'd been looking for watch cases for a while now, but never came across something I genuinely liked. That is until I came across Urby. William is a classy, sophisticated, and extremely simple. It just has this different charm about it, and I was sold. The plush soft faux suede interior is perfect for keeping my watches safe and away from scratches. But I really wish there was a way I could show them off without having to open up the box. That is clearly not good for them.
Such an amazing, and convenient watchcase.
I've been collecting multiple vintage watches for a while now, and I wanted to get another watch box for my prized possessions. William not only looked classy, but had a plush soft faux suede interior that will make sure they don't get scratched or dragged against the interior. I also love that this has the combination lock from Amiet which is really really cool.
William watch case is an exceptional product!
William is an exceptional watchcase according to me. I own another watchcase that carries all of my dress watches, but I still needed space for more. The leather looks beautiful and the Amiet lock assures me that my prized possesions will be safe and secure.
My second watch case from Urby
I'm back here for the second time, I'd previously purchased a Charles for my small watch collection, but that ended up being a box for all of my vintage watches. I still had a couple of watches I needed to store and William seemed perfect. The plus soft faux suede interior is the perfect material to keep my watches comfortable and scratch-free. I especially like the combination lock from Amiet, keeping my watches safe and secure. I love it .
Ended up with two products!
So I came across this watch case while looking through some wallet options, and I just couldn't look away. My brother has this beautiful watch collection, and I knew he'd love to store those in this stunning product. So instead of just getting myself a wallet, I ended up getting both Paul and William
This watchbox is extremely versatile
This watch box has been one of the nicest I've come across. With the leather being so good, the colour just pops right out. It has 12 watch compartments and also has removable suede cushions. I often store some of cufflinks in there at times, since I don't really store all of my watches in this. It's an awesome product, totally recommend.
Dada loves his new watch case!
I got this watch case for my grand dad a while ago. He has been collecting watches for so long, and wanted to find a really good watch case for the oldest watches in his collection. Because of how old and unique they were, dada didn't want them to be in just any watch case. So while I was looking for a option, I came across Urby. And William looked like the right choice. The plush soft faux suede interior is soft enough to store all of his vintage watches. He absolutely loved it, this happens to be his favourite watch box.
I love the Amiet combination lock.
The watch case is amazing, and the fact that it has 12 compartments shows it is really spacious, but the Amiet combination lock is my favourite. All in all, this products keeps my watches looking great and i love it!
William watch case is my favourite leather accessory now
This William watch box is extremely spacious, and can hold 12 watches with ease. I like the soft suede interior that only helps to keep my watches secure and the combination lock from Amiet is amazing
I actually save my watches along with my cufflinks in this watchbos
Everything about this watchbox is absolutely amazing, I happen to have eight watches in my collection, so four of these compartments are empty. I decided to improvise and store my cufflnks in there to make some space and it actually is a lot more convenient for me. I also like that it features a combination lock from Amiet, very nice.
Love this amazing watch box
I've been wanting to add to my currently small collection of amazing watches, but I was worried about the space, how I'd take care of them, and whether I'd be able to preserve them well. I started looking for good watch boxes, and couldn't find one I liked best, until William. Apart from the interesting colours, the leather is really good and the sturdy wooden construction makes for a really durable watch case. I immediately got it, and since then have added 5 more watches to my collection. My watches are well looked after and I honestly can't stop showing off all of them. Amazing
The combination lock is from Amiet
This watchbox is amazing, everything from the leather to the faux suede interior. It even has a combination lock from Amiet, what more could I want?
It's spacious enough to store both Ma and Papa's watches.
William has now become a family favourite. I gifted my dad this watch box because of his amazing watch collection, but a few days later, ma's watches make it in there as well. It is so spacious and I love how amazing the leather looks!
The 12 watch compartments is a joy to use.
My dad loves collecting watches, but i've never seen him with such childlike joy when I gifted him this gorgeous William watchbox. He kept looking at and touching the leather and would not stop telling me which watch would go where. That moment was priceless!
I love how soft and durable the leather is.
This watch box can store upto 12 watches, has a combination lock from Amiet, and has really soft leather, what more could I want? I even got my son the Winston watchcase for his small collection, and we're both really impressed.
Lovely stuff
The William watch box is my absolute favourite from Urby. I'd always wanted to get it but never really did, until now. And I must say, my watches have never looked better. Keeping them looking fresh, this watch case definitely does it's job.
Great gift
No matter what I say about this watch box, it'll never be enough! It's an amazing stury box that can house 12 watch compartments. My son got me this because he wanted me to store my watches in a practical and convenient manner, or so he says. But I'm not complaining, I really like this watch box.
William is an amazing product, with 12 watch compartments and sturdy wooden construction I was confident it would securely store my watches and I was right. Sometimes, I even keep it open for a bit to show off my prized possestions, it does look great in the box!
Stores more than just watches.
This watchcase has become my new favourite. Apart from storing all of my watches, it also allows me to store my cufflinks in there. Since I don't use all of the compartments yet, I've just taken the pillows out and put my cufflinks in there. Works wonders.
It features an Amiet lock!
Watches are and always have been my prized possesion. But I never had a proper place for these stunning pieces. I did have the original boxes but that just didn't feel right. So I decided to treat myself and started looking for a watch box. I couldn't really find any that were good enough, or worth the price, until I stumbled upon Urby. William was perfect! There were enough compartments for all my watches and the combination lock from Amiet was definitely the best thing.
A watchcollector's favourite.
Papa loves collecting watches, itne saare watches hai hamaare ghar main. But because of the amount of boxes, he complains about running out of space. Toh I decided to get him something better. While on the lookout for a good watchcase, I found William and fell in love. The colour makes the box look absolutely stunning. Papa loved the box so much, he's gone ahead and bought himself another.
William is amazing
I love watches. And I have a lot of them with not enough space to securely store them in. That's when I came across William. The box is gorgeous and features a combination lock from Amiet. I am looking forward to storing my ever growing collection in style!
Makes a great gift
My best friend has an amazing watch collection, and she's collected over 20 watches. But she's slowly running out of space to keep them in an organised manner. She's been on the lookout for good watch cases for quite some time now, but with no luck. I decided to surprise her with this stunning watch case. It even features a combination lock from Amiet! She's going to love this!
The best gift
This watchcase is absolutely stunning. My boss was retiring after 20 years of service and all of us decided to get him something he'd love. I remember him telling us about his small collection of watches and decided to help out by getting a watch case. This watchbox is nice and sturdy, withreally soft leather and comes with a combination lock from Amiet. On his last day, me and a colleague handed it over to him and he was over the moon. He absolutely loved it!
This also stores cufflinks
This watchcase would make any watch connoisseur happy. The leather is refreshingly good and I sometimes store a couple of cufflinks in these. A very versatile, yet stylish watchbox.

1968 Kaiser M-715 - The Evil Truck Revisited, Part II
Cosmoline Canvas And Traction Time
Last month, we showed you the new GM Performance Parts 290hp 350 engine going into Hazel's '68 M-715, dubbed The Evil Truck. With the engine cinched down and broken in, all that was left to do before Jp Magazine's officially unofficial OD Convoy event was to add some traction to the rear Dana 70, fix a few odds and ends, and install the beautiful new canvas top Beachwood Canvas Works scrambled to build in time for our deadline. Unfortunately, Mother Nature had other plans.
For the unenlightened, Beachwood Canvas Works makes and carries replacement parts for virtually all models of classic Jeep and military vehicles. Whether you need seat covers for your CJ-2 AgriJeep or a canvas top and cargo cover for your World War II weapons carrier, chances are the company has it. Not to mention Beachwood's extensive catalog of difficult-to-find parts ranging from engine-rebuild kits to shift knobs to everything in between.
As we mentioned before, Beachwood Canvas Works really bent over backward to pump out an M-715 top for us on short notice to meet our deadline. While the top arrived with plenty of time to install before our departure on the OD Convoy, a steady drizzle of rain and temps in the high 40s prevented us from actually tackling the installation. Canvas is a natural fabric and it shrinks in cold weather and stretches in warm, sunny weather, so the top installation you'll see in this story actually happened after the OD Convoy. Read on to see how we readied The Evil Truck for our 500-mile trip you'll read about next issue.

It's been a rainy year in Indianapolis, and with not much to do around Gasoline Alley today but pray for a Texas drought, the racing hopefuls for this year's Indianapolis 500 practiced their planking skills.
For the unfamiliar, "planking" is making your body into a plank and seeing just how strangely you can stack it. (Also, pics or it doesn't happen.) That's Scott Dixon above, getting an assist in his plank form from the helmet, but he wouldn't win the day based on the shots sent out by the racetrack today.
• Watch a bus driver configure a smartphone with his elbows
• Chinese barber makes perfect fake Lamborghini
• Watch this man mow the lawn during a massive hailstorm
This judge would call it a close contest between Arie Luyendyk Jr.'s aerial display or the setup from James Hinchcliff that gives a new meaning to "pole position." You can judge for yourself: Here's the rest of the contestants, absent John Andretti's halfhearted vertical effort.
So far, there's not been a move to group planking ahead of the May 25th international Planking Day, as scheduled by the Australian crazies who came up with the idea. Probably best to leave that to the Nascar types; they're used to getting stacked up on each other's tails.

AUSTIN — Charlie Strong understands the appeal of being head football coach at Texas.
AUSTIN — Charlie Strong understands the appeal of being head football coach at Texas.
If he doesn't already, he'll soon fully realize what else goes with the job, from high expectations to media obligations and everything in between. No, he's not in Louisville anymore.
Texas made it official Sunday, hiring Strong as the successor to Mack Brown. He will receive a five-year contract worth $5 million per season. An introductory news conference is scheduled for Monday. Strong becomes the first black head coach in a men's sport at Texas.
"Texas is one of those places that is always on your radar and a program anyone would dream of being a part of because you have a chance to compete on a national level every year," Strong said in a statement. "It's special because it has such great history, pride, tradition and passion for football."
Strong's job is to make it special again. Texas has been an undistinguished 18-17 in the Big 12 the last four seasons.
Texas athletic director Steve Patterson surveyed an eight-person advisory committee about priorities before the search began. From a starting point of about 30 candidates following Brown's resignation Dec. 14, the search led to Strong.
"He fit the criteria we had," Patterson said. "He brings toughness and accountability, the X's and O's, and he's a good person and family man. Plus, he really wanted the job."
Patterson interviewed Strong for more than four hours Tuesday at Strong's home in Louisville.
At one point, one of Strong's daughters asked with a bit of resignation: "Daddy, are you going to move us again?"
Patterson, who had heard similar questions from his family, immediately related.
"We were very impressed with him," Patterson said. "When you have a process, you go through it all the way and do not short-change the process."
Patterson said Texas made only one offer — to Strong. He said Alabama coach Nick Saban, long viewed as the ultimate hire by some Texas donors and fans, was never a candidate.
He also said there was "some overstatement" on how interested other reported candidates were. UCLA's Jim Mora and Baylor's Art Briles announced they were staying at their current schools last week. Billionaire Texas donor Red McCombs had publicly endorsed ESPN analyst Jon Gruden.
In his introductory statement, Strong hit all the right notes. He praised Brown for a reputation of winning "with class and integrity." Strong mentioned being introduced to the late Texas icon Darrell Royal at a coaching clinic in Austin.
"Meeting Coach Royal and being around him that day is something I'll never forget," Strong said.
One criticism of Strong is his low media profile. At Texas, where the spotlight never dims and the Longhorn Network craves extra access, the responsibilities are even greater.
"I don't have any concerns Charlie can't perform admirably in that situation," Patterson said.
Patterson confirmed that Strong would not be bringing Louisville assistant coach Clint Hurtt with him to Texas. Hurtt faced a NCAA show-cause order for his role in violations at Miami.
Some of the strongest praise for Strong came from a former rival and a former employee.
"Charlie's an excellent coach, a very good guy, a good recruiter," said Florida State coach Jimbo Fisher, whose team plays for the BCS title Monday. "I think he'll do an excellent job. I think he had done a tremendous job at Louisville turning those guys around."
Louisville athletic director Tom Jurich called Strong a good friend at a news conference Sunday. He gave Strong "an A-plus-plus for the way he changed the culture" at Louisville, from wins and losses (37-15 in four years) to the type of players he recruited.
"His results were fantastic but he did it the right way," Jurich said. "He didn't cut any corners."
While much of the focus is on how Strong will fare replacing Brown, the social implications are impossible to ignore.
Texas has not always been progressive on race issues. The 1969 team was the last all-white AP national championship squad. Offensive lineman Julius Whittier became the program's first black letterman the following season
Former women's track coach Bev Kearney, who is black, has filed a discrimination lawsuit against the school. She alleges that race played a role in her forced resignation.
Former basketball All-American T.J. Ford tweeted: "Congrats to our new football Coach Charlie Strong. FIRST BLACK Head Coach in UT HISTORY."
Without specifically referring to race, Texas president Bill Powers said, "This is a historic day for The University of Texas and a historic hire for our football team."

What will the Illinois River do? That's the debate among anglers preparing for the 22nd annual Cabela's Masters Walleye Circuit event out of Spring Valley on Saturday and March 30.
BY THE NUMBERS - 4: Fish caught in last year's Cabela's Masters Walleye Circuit tournament on the Illinois River.
Sauger season at hand
What will the Illinois River do? That's the debate among anglers preparing for the 22nd annual Cabela's Masters Walleye Circuit event out of Spring Valley on Saturday and March 30.
Whatever the weather, all involved hope there's no repeat of last spring, when high water hampered fishing. Winners Marty and Mickey Stuefen of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, earned $60,360 for a 2.71-pound sauger.
Weigh-ins start at 1 p.m. at Barto Landing. Spectators must park at Hall High School and then ride shuttles.
Did you know?
The Eastern wood rat is one of five endangered mammals in Illinois, and Southern Illinois University biologists are releasing rats. So far the stocked rats are faring well and reproducing. Eastern wood rats are known as "pack rats" because they collect and trade shiny items in their nests.
Bass tourney sign-up
Sign-ups for the 27th annual Peoria Sportsmen's Club/Watkin's Marine tournament at Spring Lake start at 9 a.m. Saturday at the clubhouse west of Manito. Cost is $100 for the April 26-27 event.
Anglers can also sign up for a $150 buddy elimination tourney June 28-29. Call (309) 545-2761.
IHSA fishing committee
The Illinois High School Association is moving forward with plans for a prep bass fishing tournament in the spring of 2009. An advisory-committee meeting is set for April 3 to write rules for the tournament, whose logo is "The Future Fishes Here."
Dave Gannaway, IHSA assistant executive director, said the meeting will create a structure for the tournament, which will be open to one team from each of the 756 member schools. Teams may be comprised of male or female high school students.
Birding bits
Purple martins started showing up at Rich Klockenga's Edwards home March 14 - the earliest males have arrived since he started putting up gourd houses for the birds.
"Since martins only feed on flying insects, I ended up supplemental feeding my birds last year during the cold, wet spell the end of March and the first days of April," Klockenga said. "I fed 2,000 meal worms and around 4,000 crickets and managed to keep all my martins alive then."
Tip of the week
The Illinois River Valley chapter of Pheasants Forever will give away sunflower and corn seed for food plots at 8:30 a.m. Saturday at the Field Shopping Center parking lot in Morton. Call (309) 444-3416.
Kudos corner
Long-time Illinois fisheries chief Mike Conlin was recently honored by the American Fisheries Society for "significant contributions to the fisheries profession and to Illinois aquatic resources." Conlin now heads up the Department of Natural Resource's office of resource conservation.
Bass stocking study
A study of bass in 15 Illinois lakes showed "limited contribution of stocked fish to adult largemouth bass populations." If bass are stocked, four-inch fingerlings are most cost effective, according to research by Diana Matthew and David Wahl of the Illinois Natural History Survey.
This 'n that
Biologist Byron Paulsen said DNR staff will do spotlight surveys of raccoons, opossums, skunks, deer and rabbits March 21 to April 25 along 25-mile routes in about 50 Illinois counties, including Tazewell County. . . . Spring trout season opens April 5.

ABC's Robin Roberts hospitalized again
Photo: American Broadcasting Companies, Inc.
NEW YORK (AP) -- Robin Roberts is resting at home and off "Good Morning America" this week after another hospital stay as part of her recuperation from a rare blood disease.
The ABC News morning show host said she felt ill last week while on vacation and was told to return to New York and go to the hospital to fight off an infection.
She's home now, and posted on Facebook on Thursday that she's feeling much better.
Roberts underwent a bone marrow transplant last September to treat MDS, a blood and bone marrow disease.
She was off work for five months before returning in February on a part-time basis to the top-rated network morning show.
She said she planned to be back on "Good Morning America" next week.

We've all been there before. You're a big sports nut but because life always has a way of getting in the way, you can't watch the big Golden Gophers game live. So you DVR it and watch it the following day. Then—at the very same time you are trying to enjoy your recorded Gophers game—a utility worker shows up to work on the power/phone/whatever lines outside your home and she is listening to sports talk. And Crazy Eddie and the Walrus are talking about the score of the game. And Crazy Eddie and the Walrus are talking about it really, really loudly. So what does a sports nut do? He threatens to shoot the utility worker and maybe—allegedly—throws a kitchen knife in her general direction, setting off a chain of events requiring police negotiators and the motherfucking SWAT team.
Meet Dan Drobac, 32 of Eagan, Minnesota. He has no prior criminal record but he's been newly charged with felony terroristic threats and "was recently taken to a detox facility."
According to the criminal complaint, the contractor told police she was working on a utility box and playing the sports station KFAN loudly so she could hear it while she worked. She said Drobac yelled at her, then came out of the house screaming, "I'm not kidding. I'm going to [expletive] shoot you," the complaint said.
Officers found a large kitchen knife in the snow about 10 feet from the utility box, the complaint said.
The utility worker immediately called 911—hopefully on one of those oversized blue phones guys use when they are pretending to work for the phone company in movies—and reported the crazy threats. Police, to their credit, were not fucking around and snapped into action. When they could not reach Drobac on the phone, they shut down the streets. They sent prerecorded messages to the neighbors urging them to stay inside until "the incident was over." They coordinated bus routes with local schools and, eventually, sweated him out in a three hour standoff at which point they arrested him without incident.
He admitted yelling out of his window "but he believed he just told the person to turn the radio off. He denied throwing a knife at the contractor, but admitted owned a knife set that matched the knife police found in the snow.
"From a police standpoint, we look at any threat against someone as a serious incident and respond appropriately," police spokeswoman Desiree Schroeper said Monday.

Clinton Power Station is the proud "parent" of three bald eagle chicks that were hatched recently in a nest near the power plant.
Clinton, Ill. (May 21, 2009) - Clinton Power Station is the proud "parent" of three bald eagle chicks that were hatched recently in a nest near the power plant. A pair of adult bald eagles returned to their nest earlier this year in a protected wooded area along Clinton Lake. Speculation about whether eggs had been laid was confirmed when three eaglet heads were observed from a safe distance several weeks ago.
To protect the eagles and their young, a 660-foot buffer area has been established around the nest, which is located in a secured area near the plant.
"We're excited that the adult eagles have returned and are calling Clinton Lake their home," said Russ Kearney, Site Vice President. "This is a testament to our environmental stewardship of providing a good habitat for eagles and other wildlife."
The adult eagles first had twins in the spring of 2007, followed by another set of twins in the same nest in 2008.
For more information and to view photos of the eaglets, visit the Clinton Power Station Web site at www.exeloncorp.com.
