Hiding A Hot Rod Battery - Boxing Lessons
Hiding A Battery In Plain Sight
Building a street rod is very similar to putting 10 pounds of stuff in a 5-pound bag; there's often more stuff than there is space to put it. Such was the case when we went to find a place for the battery in our Model A pickup. Under the hood was out of the question due to lack of space, and under the body was out because it was too inconvenient. The only logical spot for the battery was the pickup's bed-there was plenty of room and it would be convenient; we just had to find a way to camouflage it.
It just so happens our very own Road Tour warrior, Jerry Dixey, has a company called Classic Automobilia. Among his wares are pedal cars, trikes, reproduction gas pumps, and other collectibles-including really cool coolers. And it just so happens that a battery will fit inside one.
With a bright red Flying A cooler from Jerry on hand, we went about removing the inner liner and insulation to transform it into a battery box. It was a fairly simple operation; holes for the necessary cables and wires were drilled in the bottom of the box and through the bed floor. To help support the weight of the battery, an aluminum strap was placed across the bottom of the box, so it fits snugly between the floor and the bottom of the box. Two 1/4-20 threaded holes were put into each end of the strap, then a pair of long threaded rods were installed with enough length below the box to secure it to the bed floor and enough above to serve as battery hold-downs. Nuts on the rods inside the box lock them in place.
* Shielding your battery from high-heat sources like headers will greatly extend the life of the battery.
Inside the box, mounted to the battery hold-down, we added a fuse for the fuel pump and circuit breakers for the airbag compressor and A/C condenser fan. In addition, we installed a Flaming River combination battery and alternator kill switch. With a conventional two-pole switch, turning it to the off position will not kill the engine-it will continue to run on the alternator even with the battery disconnected. The Flaming River switch will kill a running engine, as it interrupts the alternator circuit as well as disconnecting the battery. This switch meets NHRA and SCCA sanctioning body requirements and has a rated capacity of 2,000-amp surge, 150-amp continuous, and can handle a 120-amp alternator. Of course, the alternator function does not have to be included; we used it as a convenient source to power the fuel pump relay.
The battery we used is a new XS Power Cell from Powermaster. Using AGM (absorbed glass mat) technology, the electrolyte is suspended in an absorbent fiberglass material, eliminating the need to flood the battery with water. This unique design of an AGM enables it to be spill-proof and vibration-resistant while having ultra-low internal resistance. Rattling around in the back of our Model A calls for a rugged battery, and the sealed design alleviates any issues of spilled acid.
The cooler worked great as a battery box for our purposes, but yours doesn't have to be out in the open like ours-one could go in the trunk as well. Either way, your rod's battery can hide in plain sight, too.
Proper Care Tips for Powermaster's AGM Battery
* Proper charging is crucial to the life of the battery. Ensure that charge voltage never exceeds 2.5 volts per cell, or 15 volts for a 12-volt battery.
* When using a battery charger, it is best to use a microprocessor-controlled charger like the XS Power Intellicharger. This will ensure the fastest and fullest recharge by allowing the appropriate amperage for the given battery size.
* In deep-cycling applications, it is important to note a battery should not be discharged below 10.5 volts. Doing so may cause damage to the battery.
* Before storing a battery away for the off-season, it is important that it is fully charged. Leaving them for long periods of time in a low state of charge may cause damage to the battery.
* Take special care when handling batteries. They are unusually heavy for their size and sometimes difficult to handle because they are tightly packed with lead. Do not use batteries that have been dropped.
* It is important to pay close attention to the torque specs when tightening the battery terminals to prevent slippage and allow maximum connectivity.

Question for those who read literature (including modern fiction).
Stereotypes of African Americans in the United States - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Its just wikipedia but I think that they have a fairly accurate description. I read alot and notice that white women or Asian women are always portrayed as intelligent, thin and sophisticated. Black women are usually "sassy" or "magical".
Black men don't seem to appear as often in books but when they do, they seem to have more normal roles. They are, however, one dimensional compared to white characters.
I couldn't find the other thread on this topic. Ok to merge if someone can find it....

Friday Full-Length: Masters of Reality, Deep in the Hole
Masters of Reality, Deep in the Hole (2001)
Who could argue? Led by Chris Goss, founder of Masters of Reality, and producer of not only their own landmark output but also records by Kyuss, Fatso Jetson, Queens of the Stone Age, etc., 2001's Deep in the Hole offered some of the catchiest, most immediately memorable fare ever to come from American heavy rock. Ever. Yes, I mean it. Ever. Goss' love of classic rock — need we mention that Ginger Baker played on 1993's Sunrise on the Sufferbus? — and particularly The Beatles showed itself throughout the record in some of the poppy turns and its strong hooks, but tonally it was of the desert all the way through, and the list of guest reads like a Desert Sessions roster: Josh Homme, Dave Catching, Nick Oliveri, Roxy Saint, Troy Van Leeuwen, among others. Goss himself is the focal point, however, his vocals and guitar front and center throughout, guiding the record in classic form. Its blend of influences and stylistic pulse hit at just the right moment to capture an atmosphere of what post-Kyuss desert rock could be all grown up.
And I guess I'm breaking it out to close the week because it's summer, or close enough to it. Deep in the Hole, with its bright guitar, sing-along choruses in "Third Man on the Moon," "A Wish for a Fish," "High Noon Amsterdam" and the title-track, among others, has always been a warmer-weather record in my mind, so with the sun out and the sky blue, it seems as fitting a time as any to break this one out. I hope you enjoy it.
Kind of dragging ass owing to no caffeine, poor sleep, general stress, and so on, but before I get into any of that, I want to send extreme thanks to Diane Farris aka Diane Kamikaze for having me on her show yesterday at 91.1 WFMU in Jersey City, NJ, for a recap of this year's Roadburn. If you didn't get to hear it, please check it out here: http://www.wfmu.org/playlists/shows/60608
It was great to be on FMU for the second time, and of course awesome to talk about music with Diane and to relive some choice Roadburn memories. I had Enslaved twice in the playlist. I professed my love for Anathema. It was a good time.
After that, en route to lunch with Slevin, whom I'd not actually seen in far too long, my car started to overheat four separate times, so I had to pull off to the side of the road and let the engine cool for a while. It kept doing it later, so my car's in the shop and I'm waiting to hear from them, and I'm still in New Jersey when I was supposed to leave yesterday evening. Not sure when or how I'll be getting out of here and heading back north, first to Connecticut, then to Massachusetts, but whatever. I'll figure it out. After the Kings Destroy show Tuesday, family time Wednesday, FMU and vehicular drama yesterday and a full day today, I'm too exhausted to care. Any one of those things would've been enough for one week on its own. This week was like three weeks rolled into one. I feel like a grindcore snare drum.
This week coming is that other job interview. Not sure exactly when that will be, but somewhere in there. I've got new stuff coming from Plainride, Closet Disco Queen and maybe Hosoi Bros. if I can actually get two seconds to answer an email, and reviews of Cherry Choke, My Sleeping Karma, and if there's time, Goatsnake. We'll see if I get there.
Have a great weekend and thanks for reading. Please check out the forum and radio stream.

text: When I travel, I all too often find myself swept up in seeing as many of the classic, ancient sites in a city. I definitely try to balance that drive with as many everyday activities as I can, and going to a movie in India is definitely one of the most memorable experiences I've ever had. My knowledge of Bollywood before my trip to India was minimal, to say the least. I knew they sang, I knew they danced, I knew it was over-the-top…and that was about it.

This is part of a series of articles to combat coulrophobia (the fear of clowns), educate the uninformed public about the consequences of masquerading as "scary clowns", and defend #REALCLOWN. CLICK HERE to read the other articles to help combat the "creepy clown" stereotype.
This is the time of year I get a lot of people calling our costume rental shop asking if we have "scary clown" costumes for Halloween.
(the answer: we don't.)
And I get emails and phone calls from you, our dear clown customers, with concerns and questions about what to do when they meet someone intent on dressing up as a creepy clown.
I've written over a dozen articles about coulrophobia and how to respond when people say "I hate clowns."
It is wonderful to get another perspective on scary clowns at Halloween. So when I read Ron Jaffe's comments on a recent Facebook post, I asked him if I could use them in our newsletter. Thank you, Ron!
This post came about because a clown could not understand why it would be a problem to use her clown skills as a scary clown in a haunted house. I couldn't have said it better myself!
"Why is a creepy clown a bad idea?"
Here is his reply:
By: Ron Jaffe
President, Fun World Clown Alley, Orlando, Florida
Halloween. It's the time of the year when scary clowns are lurking everywhere. As a variation of P.T. Barnum's famous quote, "clowns are the pegs on which a circus is hung," scary clowns are the pegs on which a haunted house is hung. They are frequent choices for costume parties, and unlike the other costumed characters, there is something about a scary clown that leaves lasting impressions on the public. Those impressions can dramatically and negatively affect those who rely upon their makeup and clowning to make a living, and they can also affect those who clown for humanitarian causes.
It doesn't matter how talented a clown is with her craft or how exquisite her makeup and costume is or how friendly she is. It only takes one creepy-looking clown and bad experience, movie, or image to re-frame someone's perspective about clowns, and those who have had those bad experiences don't keep it to themselves. They reinforce their own bias against clowns by saying "I'm scared of clowns" over and over, almost as if it's become fashionable to do so.
In society today, people aren't exposed to clowns frequently like they were in the first half of the 20th century to know how clowns 'should' act, so a single bad encounter could turn the person against clowns and clowning for life. By the 1950s, the American circus was still a staple of American life, and clowns could be found on cereal boxes, bars of soap, shoe advertisements, soft drink labels, school textbooks, magazines and of course, on television. But as the American circus began to fade with the proliferation of television and other forms of entertainment, so did our exposure to clowns, and two subsequent events would establish the image of scary clowns in our psyche forever.
In 1978, John Wayne Gacy was arrested for the murder of dozens of young people. Gacy was a clown and images of him in his costume were plastered in print and news media for years until his death in 1994. In 1990, Stephen King's "IT" came out in the theater and today, "Pennywise" the clown still haunts the memories of those who first saw the film 25 years ago. But it's been the subsequent and growing number of scary clown depictions that are making it so hard for traditional clowns to ply their trade today.
At a nursing home where I clown, the old folks who grew up with clowns appreciate the work we do as caring clowns. It's actually the young CNAs and staff who are the ones who proclaim, "I'm scared of clowns," and who literally freeze up when we come through even when wearing minimal makeup. This directly affects our ability to help people who are hurting when we have to tippy-toe around the staff, whom we are also there to help. Well-trained clowns in a hospital environment can greatly improve the mood of a patient and floor staff, but not if the patient and staff are fearful of what they feel clowns might represent.
Traditional clowns today, at least in the United States, are constantly exposed to those who proclaim a fear of clowns. But while "coulrophobia" exists, it's actually quite rare. For most, it's merely a conditioned response to clowns that's been developed and reinforced over time through imagery and repetitive internal and external dialogue.
Lastly, it's important to mention that when we speak against evil and scary clowns, we're not making judgements about the people in costume, we're only lamenting on the inevitable long-term affects that scary clowns can have on children and adults.

WSDOT Artist-In-Residence
Washington will become the first state to embed a full-time artist in a statewide agency, bringing in a creative approach to advancing the agency's goals like improving safety, reducing congestion, promoting economic vitality, supporting multimodal transportation systems, and creating healthier communities.
With the support of ArtPlace America, Transportation for America (a program of Smart Growth America), and the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) are creating a new one-year artist-in-residence program, the first of its kind in the country.
Artists have been selected!
Read the full news release about the artist team that was selected, and a brief Q&A with the artists selected for this groundbreaking program. We also opened applications for a similar program within the Minnesota DOT in March 2019.
View the full Call for Artists with the sections below, or download the document as a pdf here.
Call for artists
Date issued: November 20, 2018
Application deadline: January 7, 2019
Application form: https://smartgrowthamerica.org/program/arts-culture/wsdot-air
Click heading to expand each section or download full PDF here.
Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT), in partnership with Transportation for America (T4America) and the State Smart Transportation Initiative (SSTI), seek an artist or a team of artists to serve as the inaugural WSDOT Artist-in-Residence (AIR). The WSDOT AIR will be tasked with advancing WSDOT's transportation system policy goals: economic vitality, preservation, safety, mobility, environment, and stewardship. The WSDOT AIR will span one year, and the AIR is required to reside in Washington State for the duration of the year. The AIR will be based in WSDOT's headquarters in Olympia, WA, but depending on the AIR's project(s), the AIR may work from one of WSDOT's regional offices in Spokane, Wenatchee, Shoreline, Tumwater, Union Gap, or Vancouver for part of the residency.
The AIR will gain a thorough understanding of the inner workings of a state department of transportation, while supporting WSDOT's functions of providing sustainable, safe, reliable and cost-effective transportation options that improve communities and economic vitality for people and businesses. The project(s) executed by the AIR during the residency will be developed in close partnership with T4America, SSTI, and WSDOT. Possible projects may involve supplementing infrastructure design; fostering deeper community engagement with historically underserved communities; aiding WSDOT's efforts to communicate construction, scheduling, and other updates; and/or improving processes in routine work.
The WSDOT AIR follows a number of successful residencies in city agencies, but it is the nation's first artist residency in a state agency. The WSDOT AIR is generously funded by ArtPlace America.
WSDOT: The Washington State Department of Transportation is the steward of a multimodal transportation system and responsible for ensuring that people and goods move safely and efficiently. In addition to building, maintaining, and operating the state highway system, WSDOT is responsible for the state ferry system and a shortline freight rail system, and works in partnership with others to maintain and improve local roads, railroads and airports, as well as to support alternatives to driving, such as public transportation, bicycles and pedestrian programs.
Transportation for America: T4America, a program of Smart Growth America, is an alliance of elected, business and civic leaders from communities across the country, united to ensure that states and the federal government step up to invest in smart, homegrown, locally-driven transportation solutions. These are the investments that hold the key to our future economic prosperity.
The State Smart Transportation Initiative: SSTI promotes transportation practices that advance environmental sustainability and equitable economic development, while maintaining high standards of governmental efficiency and transparency. SSTI, jointly operated by the University of Wisconsin and Smart Growth America, operates in three ways:
- As a community of practice, where participating agencies can learn together and share experiences as they implement innovative smart transportation policies.
- As a source of direct technical assistance to the agencies on transformative and replicable smart transportation reform efforts.
- As a resource to the wider transportation community, including local, state, and federal agencies, in their efforts to reorient practice to changing social and financial demands.
ArtPlace America: ArtPlace is a ten-year collaboration among a number of foundations, federal agencies, and financial institutions that works to position arts and culture as a core sector of comprehensive community planning and development in order to help strengthen the social, physical, and economic fabric of communities. ArtPlace focuses its work on creative placemaking, which describes projects in which art plays an intentional and integrated role in place-based community planning and development. This brings artists, arts organizations, and artistic activity into the suite of placemaking strategies pioneered by Jane Jacobs and her colleagues, who believed that community development must be locally informed, human-centric, and holistic.
The concept for the WSDOT AIR grew out of the recently published Arts, Culture and Transportation: A Creative Placemaking Field Scan [http://t4america.org/maps-tools/creative-placemaking-field-scan], produced by T4America with ArtPlace America. Released in 2017, the Field Scan explored how artists are contributing to transportation solutions, and identified state DOTs as a promising but as of yet untested venue for artistic intervention.
T4America believes that embedding artists within state DOTs will help to drive new and creative approaches that help achieve state DOTs' ambitious goals. Dwindling funding hinders the accomplishment of these goals, forcing DOTs to find creative approaches to improve safety, reduce congestion, enhance economic opportunity, improve reliability, preserve their system assets, accelerate project delivery, and ultimately create healthier neighborhoods for communities to grow and thrive. Simultaneously, T4America believes that embedded artists will benefit from learning how to better engage with the complex processes and projects overseen by state DOTs and therefore producing better and more meaningful work.
WSDOT's strategic goals include developing coordinated strategies for addressing preservation, safety, mobility, economic vitality, and environmental performance goals. WSDOT is a national leader in leading the development and delivery of transportation projects that are performance-based, data-driven, and guided by early community involvement.
Recognized as a tool in pioneering innovative and creative solutions, AIRs have been piloted across the nation in governmental agencies, including Los Angeles and Seattle DOTs. AIRs have proven effective in rethinking design challenges, increasing community buy-in, fostering deeper community engagement, augmenting planning goals, building relationships with traditionally underserved constituents, and improving outdated processes in routine work.
The AIR will be embedded in WSDOT for a period of 12 months and will begin with rotations through several of WSDOT's divisions. These rotations will focus on providing the AIR knowledge on the operations of WSDOT, staff and administration priorities, strategic and daily challenges, and division culture. The rotations will serve to help the AIR determine WSDOT staff's motivations and objectives so that the AIR may propose projects that directly address these motivations and objectives while also supporting T4A's objectives of improving community engagement, supporting alternatives to single occupancy vehicle transport, and driving transportation solutions that improve safety and equity. Rotations shall conclude after four months; the remaining eight months will be devoted to the AIR's project(s) development and production. Working in close collaboration with T4America and WSDOT staff, the AIR may decide to focus on one WSDOT division or process, or on several divisions or processes.
The AIR will be a half-time contractor for Smart Growth America, and will report to SGA/T4America's Director of Arts and Culture, as well as a steering committee consisting of staff from WSDOT, T4America, SSTI, and ArtPlace.
The AIR will update T4America and SSTI staff monthly through video conferences. These updates, as well as quarterly updates from WSDOT leadership, will serve as the basis for a final report and a set of best practices to share with other state DOTs.After the completion of the residency, the WSDOT secretary and AIR will present a summary of the residency experience to the secretaries of the DOTs that participate in the SSTI community of practice to encourage adoption of this approach by additional state DOTs. The AIR and steering committee will share information on the residency through webinars and conference presentations in the months after its completion.
The AIR is expected to:
- Participate in monthly check-in calls with T4America and WSDOT staff.
- Participate in quarterly in-person debrief meetings with T4America, SSTI, and WSDOT staff.
- Maintain a working presence in WSDOT by attending and participating in WSDOT and community meetings, and meeting regularly with relevant WSDOT staff.
- Track work hours and project expenses, and invoice T4America for payment in accordance with T4America's procedures.
- Once a project(s) has been decided upon, develop a work plan and provide clear and consistent communication with project managers and staff, adhering to WSDOT's protocols.
- Become familiar with relevant agency processes to ensure that proposed projects directly connect to the actual work of WSDOT.
- Document the AIR process through visual, written, video, or other forms of documentation with the goal of providing instructions to future AIRs.
- Participate in project evaluation and the dissemination of lessons learned during the residency.
- Be prepared to present lessons learned and work produced through the residency at conferences and convenings as requested by T4America.
The selected AIR will be someone who can use artistic interventions to help WSDOT achieve their articulated goals. The residency requires a willingness to be open to the inner workings of a state DOT, technical language, and DOT culture. Artists must be committed to collaboration, equitable approaches, and community engagement. The AIR must have a portfolio that demonstrates their ability to align creative practice with social and public need. Applications will be reviewed and evaluated on the following criteria:
- Artistic merit and professional qualifications demonstrated in a CV and dynamic portfolio of past work
- Experience working collaboratively with people representing a range of demographics and disciplines
- Ability to communicate effectively and synthesize complex concepts
- Exceptional cultural competency and demonstrated ability to constructively work with traditionally underserved communities
- Possession of a broad range of creative skills that are applicable to the development and execution of the residency, such as social practice, graphic design, fabrication, photography, writing, etc.
- Prior experience working in governmental agencies is not required but preferred.
- Basic knowledge of the diverse services provided by WSDOT and a sincere eagerness to learn more about the goals of WSDOT.
This residency is open to artists 18 years of age or older who are eligible to work in the U.S. for the length of the residency. The residency will not sponsor green cards, visas, or citizenship. Paperwork should be sorted out prior to residency start date, which is not flexible. The AIR must be able to work in Olympia, WA for the duration of the residency. Artists working in any media are encouraged to apply, however, artists must have extensive experience with community engagement and collaboration as part of their practice. Artists at any career level may apply. The residency will include an ongoing public component including blogging and social media posts. T4America, WSDOT, SSTI, and ArtPlace retain the right to use documentation of AIR's work, or the original work itself, in promotional materials. The AIR retains copyright to produced work.
The AIR will be provided a stipend of $40,000 for the year-long residency. An additional $25,000 will be designated towards project implementation.

The Miller Foundation is committed to investing our resources to give children living within these high-need neighborhoods the opportunity to flourish, develop, and reach their full potential. Foundation funding will be primarily directed to programs that address issues within our three focused program areas that impact children in these identified vulnerable neighborhoods of greater Long Beach.
Long Beach, the 7th largest city in California, is on one hand a city of great resources: culturally rich, boasting beautiful ecological features, and home to esteemed higher educational institutions. On the other hand, it is a city of great needs: facing high levels of poverty and its multiple effects, environmental pollution, and rising housing costs.
Over the years, Long Beach has become "a tale of two cities," where certain neighborhoods are characterized by the benefits and resources of affluence and other neighborhoods are bearing the brunt of low incomes, decreased resources, and the challenges of communities of poverty.
Long Beach's areas of affluence—concentrated primarily on the east side of Long Beach– are characterized by high annual median family incomes, longer life expectancy, higher employment levels, and overall community safety. Children have access to a vast array of resources that promote their development including high-quality schools and after-school enrichment programs of diverse types, excellent access to health care, and safe spaces to grow up and recreate.
Areas of critical need are concentrated primarily within North, West Central, and Southwest Long Beach. These neighborhoods experience high levels of poverty, exposure to environmental pollutants, and low levels of educational attainment. Families and children in these areas face great barriers in accessing health care resources, support in early education and educational attainment, and affordable arts programming. These neighborhoods also contain the largest concentration of children in the city.
The Miller Foundation supports organizations that address the needs of the whole child within our three program areas:
Focus: The Miller Foundation seeks to support organizations and programs that break down barriers and promote access to health care for vulnerable children. Types of care could include medical care as well as vision, dental, and mental health. Read more about our Health Programs.
Focus: The Miller Foundation is focused on supporting education for young children through the third grade. This includes organizations and programs that engage vulnerable parents and families in their child's development as well as programs that provide young children who are most at-risk of lower educational success with high-quality pre-school and early childhood education. Read more about our Education Programs.
Focus: The Miller Foundation seeks to support organizations or programs that partner with schools and school districts to provide arts education programs directly in the classroom on a regular and consistent basis. We are interested in the visual, performing (e.g., music, theater, dance), and literary arts. Read more about our Arts Programs.

The townsite of Boulder, adjacent to Kalgoorlie, was gazetted in 1896. It is named after a gold mining lease called "The Great Boulder".
The story of the naming of the "the Great Boulder" is told in "The Mile that Midas Touched" (G. Casey & T. Mayman) - In 1893 in Dashwoods Gully in South Australia four men discussed the future of a local mining lease 'The Boulder'. Its main features were large sandstone boulders in which were found some small wiry stringers of gold. W.G. Brookman and Charles de Rose had been working the lease without much success, and George Brookman, a businessman who was backing them, had gone to Dashwood's Gully with an experienced prospector, Sam Pearce to discuss the matter. Later George Brookman told them he might be able to raise funds in Adelaide to send a small party to Coolgardie, and later the Adelaide Prospecting Company was formed. W.G. Brookman and Sam Pearce left Adelaide on the 7 of June 1893. On the last stage of their journey they walked beside their cart and two horses for 300 miles to Coolgardie. Sam Pearce had a good knowledge of geology and he and Brookman moved their camp to Ivanhoe Hill. While Brookman was away at Coolgardie applying for 20 acres Pearce discovered a rich lead a few chains away and in August they registered another lease. With memories of their Dashwood's Gully lease they called it the Great Boulder.

Calling All Dames and Jobbies
For those in need of a break from sunny spring days and blue skies, the American Cinematheque presents its 11th annual film noir festival "Deadline: Noir City" from April 2-19 at the Egyptian Theatre in Hollywood.
It isn't surprising that Tinsel Town is the birthplace of film noir. Film noir (literally, "black film" in French) evolved out of American hard-boiled detective novels and the cinematic influence of German Expressionism. For every Hollywood fairytale produced during the 40s and 50s — a time when the puritanical, anti-communist Hays Production Code was strictly enforced — there was a film noir doppelganger, a fever dream full of danger, despair, and depravity.
The American Cinematheque's film noir line-up includes several rare gems which have yet to make it to DVD, as well as cleverly paired double-features and director's nights for Anthony Mann and Fritz Lang. The Jane Greer double-feature is especially top notch in every respect. Greer's mere presence elevates any film she is in, but her lovely looks are used to full effect in making suckers out of Robert Mitchum and Kirk Douglas in the noir masterpiece Out of the Past.
All you femme fatales and tough guys better get wise.
-By Peter Lee
The Egyptian Theare will be presenting "Deadline: Noir City" from April 2 – 19.

As you know, I'm not one for voting the party line "because" - I like to find out where the candidates stand on the issues and then choose my candidate based on their matching my views/opinions.
Imagine my surprise when I learned that Mike Huckabee was echoing my thoughts from years before (for different reasons, so he's not on my "to vote for" list... yet).
Way back when, just after college, I worked for an Off-Broadway theatre company (the now-defunct Circle Repertory Company). This was 1984-86, just at the start of the AIDS epidemic here in America. One of my bosses, a gay man, used to go to some huge gay disco in Ossining and pick up men - random strangers with whom he'd have sex. This seemed excessive and just, well, wrong, but then, I'm a little old-fashioned about certain things. At the end of the 84/85 season, we produced Hoffman's AsIs, the first play about the effects of AIDS on the gay community. It was a very, very powerful production (although the 1989 revival already seemed quite dated and I'm sure it's not produced now, even as a period piece).
Yet as I read about the spread of AIDS, and the actions of ACT UP, I wondered: why aren't we treating this like other epidemics? Is it really fair to all people (gay, straight, bi, non) to allow people that potentially could kill others to just roam among us, rather than using quarantine and other methods to contain, and possibly eradicate this disease? Elizabeth Pisani seems to agree with me. How nice, 20+ years later, to be validated.


text: (Bloomberg Opinion) -- On Tuesday, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan announced a curious new plan for "strengthening our democracy": Because the people of Istanbul had voted the wrong party into power, the city would be holding new elections..Alleging fraud and irregularities, Erdogan's AK Party scheduled a revote of the city's municipal elections for next month, which the party lost in March to a coalition of opposition parties. It's an untenable situation for Erdogan's Islamist party, which relies on the patronage that comes from controlling local governments..But a new election is untenable for much of the country, which erupted in protest after the announcement, and many Turks who had not previously been critical of Erdogan (including many celebrities) are taking the opposition's side. Turkey's former president and a co-founder of Erdogan's party, Abdullah Gul, spoke out against the decision for a revote. Turkish media is reporting that Gul, along with former finance minister Ali Babacan, is planning to split from Erdogan and form a new party..There has also been strong international censure of the decision, with condemnations from several European foreign ministers as well as the European Union..Absent from this chorus thus far, however, is the Trump administration. Washington's silence makes it seem as though the administration "wants Erdogan to stay in power forever," says Ilhan Tanir, the executive editor of Ahval, a Turkish news site. "This is the time for the Trump administration to make a strong statement.".The slow reaction from Washington may reflect the need to pay attention elsewhere. Since December, when President Donald Trump announced a U.S. withdrawal from Syria after a phone conversation with Erdogan, U.S. diplomats and generals have focused on getting Erdogan to promise not to attack the Syrian Kurds, who are a crucial U.S. ally in the fight against Islamic State. To this day, U.S. officials tell me, Erdogan has made no such pledge. Meanwhile, the Pentagon is engaged in a so-far-unsuccessful campaign to persuade Turkey not to go through with the purchase of a Russian air defense system..But while it may be understandable that a local election would not be at the top of the U.S. agenda with Turkey, it's also inexcusable..There is currently widespread support within Turkey to check Erdogan's consolidation of power. American support for Turks who oppose the AK Party's electoral chicanery is a smart bet: Not only would it preserve credibility with the government that comes after Erdogan, but it would also weaken a president who has become an unreliable ally..During the Obama years, Erdogan allowed his territory to be used by the Islamic State to establish pipelines of new recruits from Europe into the group's proto-Caliphate. He has taken a page from Iran's playbook and tried to extract concessions from the West by taking hostages. He is flirting with Russia, buying an air defense system incompatible with NATO's weaponry. And he still won't promise not to slaughter the Kurds who helped vanquish the Islamic State in Syria..A Turkey without Erdogan would still present challenges for U.S. foreign policy. But the main irritant in the relationship will be gone. The U.S. does not have to intervene in Turkish politics. It only needs to listen to what millions of Turkish citizens, including Erdogan's former allies, are now saying. This is one case where America's values align with its interests..To contact the editor responsible for this story: Michael Newman at firstname.lastname@example.com column does not necessarily reflect the opinion of the editorial board or Bloomberg LP and its owners..Eli Lake is a Bloomberg Opinion columnist covering national security and foreign policy.

Do Current Market Conditions Pose Additional Risks for Passive Investors?
While Baldwin & Clarke Advisory Services, Inc. ("BCASI") makes use of S&P 500 based ETF index funds to a limited degree in some client portfolios, we remain wary of certain embedded risks in market based investing, the most obvious being the lack of downside protection. Another is that the performance of the most popular indices is disproportionately driven by the largest companies, as measured by market capitalization. So called "cap weighted" indices.
A manager that we have a lot of respect for and one with a strong performance history is Polen Capital Management. Polen Capital recently issued a white paper which is very timely given the current debates about "active" versus "passive" investing. This white paper entitled "Credit Quality and Valuation Trends of the S&P 500 – A Critique of Passive Investing" is not an argument against passive investing, but rather an excellent analysis of how "…index investing has likely exacerbated market risk and left passive investors as the most vulnerable participants". It is interesting and well worth reading, especially if you have a significant interest in an S&P 500 index fund or ETF.
Executive Summary:
Passive investing in U.S. equities has attracted billions in capital over the past several years as investors have been enticed by its low fees, efficient structure and seemingly endless product choices. But investor fervor does not necessarily equate to a quality investment. In fact, it appears the U.S. large cap equity market, as measured by the S&P 500 Ex-financials Index, has seen a deterioration in its fundamentals and credit quality over the past several years, yet its valuation sits at levels much higher than prior to the last recession. Investors may be unaware of the dangers that are presently embedded within the market and passive investment vehicles that, by definition, will be unable to pivot investors away from these risks. Active managers that focus on quality provide investors the ability to potentially mitigate some of these threats to their capital."

Back in April of this year, we wrote about a looming recession that was inevitably on the way. Simply put – and much like a tornado watch – all the conditions were more than favorable for the development of a severe (and possibly long-term) economic downturn.
Now December, unfortunately, the economic storm is all too real and all too close.
Why? Well, the trade war and its tariffs, extreme national debt (that's rising), inexplicable stock market values, lower corporate earnings, and attacks on large stalwarts of American industry are major indicators of what's headed our way.
So how will all this affect the Tuscaloosa real estate market and what should buyers and sellers expect?
In that April article I posted here on RealBama, I outlined some solid advice for accomplishing your real estate deals both before and during a recession. But, most of all, we stressed that buyers and sellers should be well-prepared well in advance so your pocketbooks and wallets take as little of a hit as possible.
Now, with the recession all but certainly just around the corner, that's more important than ever.
For starters, it's important to know what is happening right now with home sales in the Tuscaloosa and Northport areas. ACRE, or the "Alabama Center for Real Estate" run by the University of Alabama's Culverhouse School of Business, charts real estate performance in the area and issues monthly reports filled with valuable home data.
For the months of October and November (already-slow months of the year), the data shows the following insights:
- November 2018 sales down almost 11% over October 2018
- November 2018 sales down almost 7% over November 2017
- November 2018 median sales price of $175,875 up almost 13% over the 5-year average
- October 2018 sales down almost 11% versus September 2018
- October 2018 sales down almost 7% versus October 2017
As well, for the whole year this year, sales are now down 6%, inventory is down 5%, and the average home price is up 5%.
So, what's all this data mean?
Well, for starters, it's a local corroboration that the housing market is indeed heading into the same slowly-swirling drain that the overall economy is moving into. What's more, as the economy gets worse, the housing slowdown will also be exacerbated. As a recent report from the Council on Foreign Relations puts it:
One metric that signaled trouble in the years leading up to the crisis was an expanding gap between the growth in home prices and household income…When income can't keep pace with home prices, the latter must come down. Overleveraged home "owners" default on their mortgages, creating a housing glut that drags prices down further. Falling home values slow consumer spending, and therefore GDP growth, by way of the so-called wealth effect—that is, consumers cut spending when their assets fall in value.
For sellers who are considering a home sale or must sell soon, sooner may be much better than later. As consumer spending slows and confidence is sapped, home prices will fall and your home will take much longer to sell.
For buyers, mortgage interest rates have been rising, even coming close to 6% in some markets at one point this year. How significant has it been? As CNBC puts it:
A buyer with a $2,500 monthly housing budget lost nearly $30,000 in purchasing power this year, according to Redfin.
That's especially problematic for first-time home buyers, young families, and buyers forced to move during bad economic times. As rates yo-yo up and down while banks try to spur on buyers, inventory will then inevitably drop too. In other words, rate help may come in very temporary spurts, so be alert.
The biggest messages for Tuscaloosa home buyers?
- Your home buying power is likely to be impacted (possibly in a major way) in 2019.
- Selling your home will be harder and take longer in 2019.
- You will pay more for a mortgage, but possibly less for a home – but with much fewer choices – 2019.
- Home inventories will drop even more as non-urgent sellers hold off on cashing out at a lower value.
- Acting sooner than later is very important to achieving value whether a seller or buyer

The heart of your home, your kitchen is a real hard worker; not only does it have to function well, but it's most likely where you spend the most time, so of course you want it to look good too. The key to this? Organisation – and storage. We believe there's no such thing as a 'too small' space – any space can be beautiful with a few clever tricks, however tiny. Read on for how to squeeze the most out of your kitchen…
1. Climbing the wall
Transform a plain wooden ladder with a touch of paint and hang up your kitchen utensils so they're always close at hand. Use a cool white such as Jasmine White against bright Pepper Red walls and you've got a striking display as well a practical storage unit that fits into awkward spaces.
2. Looking up
Don't neglect the space above your cabinets. Elsie Larson from A Beautiful Mess opted for wire baskets above cabinets for stashing any extra bits that you don't need on a day to day. And if you've got tall ceilings to play around with – add a shelf for even more high-levelled storage.
3. Over the top
If counter space is lacking in your kitchen, an over the stove cutting board is the easy fix. Hey presto, you have yourself a multi-tasking space. Works the same over the sink too. Image from Apartment Therapy.
4. Pretty Peggy
Inspired by Charm Pegboard kitchen storage. This one takes a little more DIY. Using a mixture of baskets to hold salt, pepper or things you're always reaching for and hooks for hanging measuring cups, spoons, saucepans. Use a shelf on the top of your pegboard to store tools and utensils that you want to show off but don't use on a regular basis.
5. All bar one
If you're lacking on space for a breakfast table, then a shelf and a few brackets will create a breakfast bar will bring space-saving style to your kitchen.

Beauty and the Beets
By Larraine Roulston: Beets usually are not the most popular choice for the average household chef. They often look dirty and take a long time to cook. Popping the hot skins before cutting or mashing is a somewhat messy task, as well. The health benefits, however, make this lovely colored … Read More »

So this will be my take on the series 8 of Doctor Who. Personally I wanted to wait until everyone got whatever feels out before I wrote my piece. I know there's a lot of people that are confused or felt disappointed by the season/series or they just don't like the new Doctor because he's not Matt Smith.
Personally I wasn't a big fan of Matt Smith after he took over for David Tennant. I did however enjoy him later on in the series, but only halfway through his reign. Mostly I thought that Matt Smith was to child like in the beginning. But it did seem that his Doctor matured over time and I started to enjoy everything. I personally rather enjoy Peter Capaldi as the Doctor. Reminds me of mix with the War Doctor and David Tennant's Doctor. So as for the whole season and it's made very clear in the very first episode. As the 12th Doctor comes into being he is confused, insecure not sure who he is or what he is. What kinda person "who" he wants to be or how he was. Dealing with Clara's memories of Matt Smith's Doctor and constantly comparing the 2 of the other. The whole series was about self discovery for the Doctor and the way the finale plays into that was rather beautiful. Having flashbacks from Matt Smith's storyline, also from past story lines from this series. At the very end the Doctor comes a conclusion who he wants to be and how he is.
"I am NOT a good man! And I'm not a bad man. I … am … an idiot, with a box and a screwdriver."
I enjoyed that they brought back the Master aka Missy. I thought Michelle Gomez did an amazing job and the humor was spot on! The Missy reveal infuriated and delighted Whovians. It sadden me to see that some of the fans of the show were upset at the fact that they pulled a sex change (in every previous incarnation, the Master was a man). Personally I see it as a why to move forward for a possible move for making the next Doctor a woman. Might be a trail run to see how people respond to a gender-swapped Time Lord. Maybe.. Who knows in the Doctor Who's world. All tho! Though it had previously been established in the Neil Gaiman-penned episode "The Doctor's Wife".
I can't wait till the Christmas special and next Series! I'm happy with the Doctor and where they are going with it.

The end of the season brings about mixed emotions and off season nutrition. All the hard work has been done, and hopefully your race results have been achieved. While it can leave some feeling a little unguided with next season seeming so far away, it's also a chance to relax, chill out and switch off from it all for a little while. It's recommended that any athlete takes a little time out following the end of the season. A few days of complete rest are a great mental break as well as physical.
Taking a break doesn't mean you have to just sit around though. You can still be active, keep healthy and do some unstructured training for fun or even add in some cross-training, taking part in other sports. This could be anything from mountain biking, cross country running. Or even going hiking or skiing over the winter.
What about our off season nutrition then? Many of us may have been very strict on what we've eaten over the year to ensure we sustain a good racing weight and are fuelled to train, race and recover well. When the off season comes along, we can often see it as an opportunity to indulge in all those things we've said no to over the year. Combine that with the lure of Christmas parties and meeting up with friends and there's the addition of a little drink or two as well.
From experience, the more I make myself cut out during the year, the more I crave it and indulge once the season is over. It's very easy to say; "I'll take a couple of naughty weeks, and then get back into healthy eating." And before long you're finding excuses to keep up a less than ideal diet. Relaxing a little over the year, allowing yourself occasional treats, but monitoring what you have will ensure you feel you're not giving up too much, moderation is key.
The same goes for the off season. We may have eased off training a little, but we are still under training stress, and the more serious you are about planning for your next season, the more you need to consider your nutrition over the winter months. It's perfectly normal to put on a little weight over the winter, in fact it's almost healthier. Given that many athletes will aim to achieve lower body fat levels to race optimally with minimal excess weight, this places additional strain on our immune system. We hear all the time about pro athletes getting ill. Increasing your kcal intake a little to comfortably meet the demands of you training will ensure you feel recovered from training, and stay healthy over the winter.
Throughout the year we adapt our training around our race schedule, manipulating the intensity and type of each session to match the demands of our fitness to be in prime condition for a race. We call this process 'periodisation'. Over the winter we typically reduce some of, but not all, higher intensity session in favour of returning to a base phase. As well as reducing stress on the body, this gives us a chance to return to more technique based sessions. In addition to this we may introduce a larger strength and conditioning element to our training in order to build and prepare us for the following season.
In the same way that we periodise out training, we should also adapt our off season nutrition so that we are always fuelling the training we are currently doing. For example, over the winter we may be doing fewer high intensity sessions and therefore our average training heart rate will be lower. This means we'll be using energy from a higher percentage of fats as well as some carbohydrate. During race season, when we train and race at higher intensities there may be a need for higher carbohydrate intake as a percentage of our diets. Protein requirements may change too, especially if you're planning to increase the amount of strength and conditioning in your training plan.
"The concept of matching performance nutrition strategies to training demands to support different phases of training and competition" – Lucy Wainwright, EIS Performance Nutritionist British Triathlon
While all of us may feel the urge to indulge during the off season, it's important to remember that our bodies still require the nutrients to keep us healthy, maintain a good immune system, repair muscle and replenish energy supplies after training. As mentioned in our previous blogs on macronutrients and micronutrients, it's about more than just calories, we need to consider what the food we eat is giving us. As long as we ensure a varied intake in protein, good fats and slow releasing carbohydrate sources, in the amounts we need, and that we eat foods high in vitamins and minerals, we can be perfectly healthy with a little indulgence on the side. As a rough guide, consider the 80:20 rule, so 80 % of your food must come from ideal sources that are aimed at fuelling you correctly, so you can have 20 % of your intake to play with as a little fun. As long as you don't go overboard on kcal, you should be able to manage your weight throughout the off season and stay healthy.
