Coming up on the 14th November we have the chance to see a solar eclipse. From here in Melbourne it will be a partial eclipse, with 52 per cent of the Sun's diameter covered by the Moon. But up in Far North Queensland and the topmost of the Northern Territory, they will be treated to totality, where the Moon will completely block the Sun for just on two minutes.

The eclipse will occur during the early morning of 14 November, with the Sun still low in the east. Therefore, a good view of the horizon will be needed. The timing for Melbourne is as follows:
It is important never to look directly at the Sun, even during an eclipse. While the Sun may appear less bright it can still cause long lasting eye damage.
There are safe ways to look at the eclipse – at the Scienceworks shop you can purchase eclipse glasses that will allow you to watch the event, while protecting your eyesight.
You can also create a simple "pinhole" projection. It's as easy as making a small pinhole in a piece of paper or cardboard. Do not look through the hole, but allow the Sun to shine through and project an image onto a second piece of cardboard. Even a blank wall or clear patch of ground can make good surfaces for projection.
Sometimes nature helps out too. If you can see sunlight travelling through the leaves of a tree, you've got yourself some ready made pinhole projections. Check the ground and it might be covered with little crescent Sun images. Take a look at this great example on the Astronomy magazine website.
I've never seen a Total Solar Eclipse, so I'm heading up to Queensland for my first chance. I've been told that it's quite an eerie experience to have darkness fall while it's still early morning.
If you will also be in the path of totality for this eclipse, then be sure to check out the Eclipse Megamovie Project. Use your smartphone to upload images and videos of the Sun during totality and the Space Sciences Laboratory in California will combine the footage to create the first ultra-high time resolution movie of a solar eclipse.
What I'm most looking forward to is the chance to see the Sun's corona, the bright and tenuous gas that surrounds the Sun. Normally it's invisible, drowned out by the Sun's glare, but being able to see hidden things is something that's always captivated me about astronomy.
During totality the Sun's diffuse corona and thin pink chromosphere can be seen.Source: Luc Viatour. www.lucnix.be

The Canisius baseball team opened its 2013 MAAC and home schedules with two losses to Saint Peter's University at the Demske Sports Complex on Saturday afternoon. The Golden Griffins lost 7-5 in the opener and then fell 2-0 in the second game to drop to 14-7 on the season.
Game One – Saint Peter's 7, Canisius 5
Saint Peter's took advantage of five Canisius errors in the first game, scoring three unearned runs in the contest. Saint Peter's scored twice in the top of the second, and the Griffs would respond in the bottom of the inning. Senior catcher Brooklyn Foster and sophomore Connor Panas had back-to-back triples down the right-field line to get the Griffs on the board. Panas would score on a grounder from junior Jose Torralba to tie the score at 2-2.
The Peacocks reclaimed the lead with two runs in the top of the fourth, taking advantage of two wild pitches from starter Garrett Cortright as well as a throwing error. The Peacocks chased Cortright in the fifth and pushed across unearned runs in the fifth and seventh to go up 6-2. The Griffs scored three times in the bottom of the seventh, with junior Ronnie Bernick starting the rally with a one-out walk. Junior Ryan Coppinger tripled to center to score Bernick. Freshman Brett Siddall brought home Coppinger with an RBI groundout and junior Jimmy Luppens made it a one-run game with a homer to center, his fourth homer in the last three games.
Saint Peter's scored an insurance run in the top of the ninth, and Canisius was never able to tie the game. The Griffs got a baserunner in the eighth and ninth innings but could never get him into scoring position. Canisius was caught stealing to end the eighth and hit into a double play to end the contest.
Cortright (5-1) took his first loss of the season, allowing five runs, three earned, in 4.2 innings while striking out five. Sophomore Rohn Pierce allowed an unearned run on one hit and one walk in 3.1 innings of relief.
Zack Hopf (1-3) earned the win for Saint Peter's, allowing five runs on five hits, walking three and striking out six in seven innings. Ethan Jackson pitched a scoreless ninth to record his second save of the season.
Game Two – Saint Peter's 2, Canisius 0
Saint Peter's scored single runs in the second and fourth innings off Canisius starter Devon Stewart. The Griffs loaded the bases in the bottom of the fifth, with Bernick drawing a leadoff walk, sophomore Mike Krische singling through the left side and Luppens getting hit by a pitch. Saint Peter's starter Matthew Yuhas induced a double-play groundball from junior Shane Zimmer to get out of the jam and maintain the 2-0 lead for the Peacocks.
The Griffs managed just three hits in the game, but got the tying runs on base in the bottom of the seventh as Torralba singled to lead off the inning and junior Jesse Kelso was hit by a pitch with two outs. Luppens would ground out to shortstop to end the game.
Matthew Yuhas (3-1) threw seven shutout innings to pick up the win, yielding three hits, walking one and striking out six. Stewart (1-3) took the loss, giving up two runs on six hits, walking one and striking out four.
Canisius and Saint Peter's will wrap up the three-game series on Sunday, with first pitch at the Demske Sports Complex set for noon.
Game Notes: Canisius loses a series to Saint Peter's for the first time since 2006. The Griffs had won 15 of the last 17 games between the teams… Canisius loses a home series for the fifth time in the last 24 MAAC series… Luppens extended his hitting streak to 22 games… Canisius had five errors in a game for the second time this season (Feb. 24 at UNC Asheville)… The Griffs were shut out for the first time this season… Sophomore Aaron Casper threw a scoreless ninth inning in the opener and has not allowed a run in his last four appearances… Cortright didn't get out of the fifth inning for the first time in 18 starts… Stewart's start of seven inning was his longest of the season… Canisius dropped its home opener for the first time since 2010 and lost its first two MAAC games for the first time since 2009.

HAMDEN, Conn. - Four players scored three or more goals to lift the Quinnipiac University women's lacrosse team past Northeast Conference foe and in-state rival Central Connecticut, 20-4, Sunday afternoon at the Quinnipiac Field Hockey & Lacrosse Turf Field. Team captain Katie Latonick (Severna Park, Md.) led the charge, scoring four goals and adding three assists for a season-best seven points. The Bobcats are now 2-0 in NEC play this season and 2-4 overall. The Blue Devils drop to 0-3 in league games and 2-4 overall with the loss.
"It's always great to get an NEC win," Head Coach Danie Caro said. "It was great to see that when we gave some of the younger players opportunities to play, there was no let down. The team played well as a whole and this was a big win for us moving forward into league play."
Central's Ryan Mackenzy started the game with two straight goals in the first five and a half minutes. The 2-0 advantage would be the only lead of the day as junior Laura Iannotti (Rocky Point, N.Y.) scored three-straight goals in 1:20 of play to take the lead. Iannotti's previous career high was two goals in a game, a mark she eclipsed in less than a minute and a half against the Blue Devils.
The Bobcats continued to pour on the offense, scoring five more goals after Iannotti's hat trick. Sophomores Devon Gibney (Hopkinton, Mass.) and Marissa Caroleo (North Babylon, N.Y.) each added goals in the 8-0 run, while Latonick scored a free-position tally and freshman Sarah Allen (Glastonbury, Conn.) netted two.
After two quick goals by the Blue Devils made it an 8-4 game, the Bobcats offense continued its onslaught, while the defense stopped everything. Quinnipiac held Central without a goal in final 39:40 of play.
Allen, Latonick, Gibney and junior Lauren Matuszczak (East Longmeadow, Mass.) all scored again before the half to take a nine-goal lead, 13-4 into the break.
Quinnipiac's younger players saw opportunities to contribute in the second half. On the first shot of her college career, Mary Kate Manganiello (Media, Pa.) scored her first goal, while fellow freshman Jackie Keleher (Manlius, N.Y.) earned her first-career point with an assist. Kayla Hamberry (Annapolis, Md.) picked up her first point, assisting on a Kelly Bruneau (Cheshire, Conn.) goal with 4:47 remaining. Keleher then scored her first goal with 2:15 showing on the clock. Sophomore Jane Moldovan (Shoreham, N.Y.) earned just her second career assist on Keleher's first.
In the first start of her career, junior goalkeeper Lexi DeStefano (Brookfield, Conn.) made three saves to earn the win. Central Connecticut's Erin DeLancey stopped 12 shots, including 10 in the first half in the loss.
Quinnipiac outshot CCSU, 37-9, in the game, holding the Blue Devils to just two in the second half. The Bobcats also held a 32-15 advantage in ground balls, while Central committed 35 fouls to Quinnipiac's eight.
The Bobcats return to action on Wednesday, Mar. 24 as they play host to Iona. The Gaels and Bobcats are set to meet from Hamden at 3 p.m.

The BBC have just announced ………………….
"The BBC World Service (Radio) is launching a new daily history programme at the end of October. It's to be called Witness and will focus on the memories and testimonies of people who lived through historic events. We'll mix those testimonies with material from the BBC's audio archive – to tell personal stories on air.
Not just the war, but scientific discoveries, social changes, sporting events, art, fashion… really we're interested in hearing from anyone who has a story to tell.
Obviously, as the international arm of BBC radio we'll be talking to people all over the world but we don't want to neglect the UK."

Time-lapse footage: Constructing the George W. Bush presidential library
posted at 12:56 pm on April 23, 2013 by Guy Benson
The visual history of a two-and-a-half year project in less than two minutes, via the Dallas Morning News:
The formal dedication is slated for Thursday, with all five living US presidents in attendance. When Bush shakes Obama's hand at the ceremony, our 43rd and 44th presidents will share something in common: A job approval rating of 47 percent. While we're on the subject of President Bush, be sure to read Ron Fournier's stirring tribute to Bush's abiding decency in National Journal. A taste:
White House press secretary Ari Fleischer walked into the media cabin of Air Force One on May 24, 2002, and dropped identical envelopes in the laps of two reporters, myself and Steve Holland of Reuters. Inside each was a manila card – marked by a small presidential seal and, in a simple font, "THE PRESIDENT." Handwritten in the tight script of President George W. Bush, both notes said essentially the same thing: "Thank you for the respect you showed for the office of the President, and, therefore, the respect you showed for our country." What had we done? Not much, really. An hour earlier, at a rare outdoor news conference in Germany, Steve and I decided to abide by the U.S. media tradition of rising from our seats when the president entered our presence. The snickering German press corps remained seated. "What a contrast!" Bush wrote. "What class."
He remembered names of the spouses and children of his staff, and insisted that hard work at the White House not be an excuse to let family life suffer. One steamy summer day in 1999, then-Gov. George W. Bush called me with an exclusive interview and interrupted my first question. "What's all that noise in the background, Fournier?" he asked. "I'm at the pool with my kids, governor." Bush replied, "Then what the hell are you doing answering your phone?" Damn good question, sir. We quickly ended the interview.
Bush's policies aside, those who know him best have always been struck by his kindness, integrity and humanity. Who among us wouldn't be proud of such a legacy?

A popular cream-filled snack cake reappeared last week on grocery shelves, the Hostess Twinkie.
After the Hostess company closed, Twinkies and other products flew out of groceries. When the shelves were empty, boxes of the snacks sold on eBay for $100 or more.
Although they've only been gone eight months, the web exploded with ideas on how to celebrate their return. From cupcakes that look like the minions from "Despicable Me" to a fancy tiramisu, recipes popped up everywhere. I had to try a few.
Many years ago, I discovered a recipe for Strawberry Twinkie Cake. I can't remember where the recipe came from but it could have been the Hostess website.
It's basically a layered dessert that starts with Twinkies and adds strawberries, glaze and whipped cream. Simple and tasty.
For the whipped cream layer on top, either spread a container of whipped cream or use canned whipped topping to create a lattice design on top.
Another recipe I ran across added a tropical twist to the layered dessert. It added coconut cream pudding and crushed pineapple. Basically, if you can think of a layered dessert that you would normally use pound cake or angel food cake for, you can use Twinkies instead for a snack- cake twist.
Both of these recipes are pretty simple and involve mostly putting one layer on top of the other, kind of like dessert Legos.
Another cute idea is Twinkies on sticks. It sounds easy but be warned. If you don't put the Twinkies in the freezer after putting them on the stick as the recipe suggests, the Twinkie will fall apart when you try to coat it in chocolate.
This idea is a twist on a cake pop, just made with a Twinkie. It would make great decorated snack gifts or treats for a birthday party.
But the crème de la crème of the return celebration is the Twinkierito.
At a get-together, some friends, Aaron and Moira Taylor, introduced us to the Twinkierito. This treat starts with a soft tortilla. Inside the tortilla add a Twinkie, strawberries, sometimes bananas, chocolate syrup and whipped cream. Fold the tortilla so it warps around the Twinkie like a burrito.
Yes, ladies and gentleman, a Twinkie burrito.
The result was good but while eating it I thought of one improvement. If you brush the tortilla with melted butter, sugar and cinnamon and then bake it for a few minutes, the cinnamon taste would blend well with the ingredients inside.
Technically, this could no longer be a Twinkie burrito because the baked tortilla would no longer wrap around the ingredients. Maybe it would be more like a Twinkie tostada.
Either way, it's a fun dish to try.

Tropical Twinkie Delight
Line the bottom of a 9- by 13-inch pan with Twinkies. In a medium bowl, mix the pudding mix with milk. Let stand to thicken. Spread crushed pineapple, undrained, over the Twinkies. Spread the pudding over the pineapple layer. Spread whipped cream on top. Chill for 4 hours.
Source: www.food.com
Strawberry Twinkie Cake
Cut the Twinkies in half lengthwise. Place the haves in a 7- by 11-inch pan. Cover the Twinkies with strawberries, as many as suit your taste. Spread strawberry glaze over the strawberries. Top with whipped topping. Spread the whipped cream or spray the canned topping in a decorative design. Refrigerate until served.
Twinkies on a Stick
Melt the candy coating according to package directions. Unwrap Twinkies and dip the sticks about 1/3 of the way in the melted candy. Insert the sticks in the Twinkies and place on a wax paper lined baking sheet. When all of Twinkies have sticks in them, place the baking sheet in the freezer for 10 minutes. This makes the sticks stay in the Twinkies instead of sliding out.
If the white candy coating has set up a bit, melt it again in the microwave. Remove Twinkies from freezer and coat completely in the melted candy. Tap off the excess and place back on wax paper lined baking sheet.
Once all the Twinkies are coated, you can drizzle with additional melted candy of your choice in different colors or flavors. You can drizzle with a fork or put the melted candy in a disposable piping bag with the tip cut off and squeeze it over the Twinkies in a zig zag motion.
Before the candy is set, sprinkle with festive sprinkles.
Place the pan back in the freezer for 5-10 minutes until the candy is set.

Putting Junk In Your Trunk
This is something I've been meaning to write about but haven't yet gotten around to. Well, I guess as of now I have gotten around to it, unless you count "now" as being "time of writing", in which case, at this point, I have not yet written about what I am about to write about. … Continue reading

Pictures: Duo attend Save the Children event
As part of Arsenal's Asia Tour 2012, Presented by Emirates, Abou Diaby and Johan Djourou visited the Club's international charity project in partnership with Save the Children.
The Club, through The Arsenal Foundation, has made a donation of £300,000 to its official global charity partner over three years, helping to dramatically improve the quality of education of disadvantaged children aged six to 15 in some of Beijing's most under-resourced schools.
Together, Arsenal and Save the Children will train 200 teachers and 20 head teachers so that they have the necessary skills to plan and deliver improved and age-appropriate lessons for students in China's curriculum. This will reduce the chances of children dropping out of school and the risk of being excluded from future opportunities in later life – giving more young people the chance to fulfil their potential.
As part of the visit, the two players delivered a collection of stories of childhood from Arsenal players, staff and supporters in China to inspire children to be the best they can be. During the visit, Abou and Johan played football with the children and participated in arts, craft and reading.
Save the Children is the world's leading independent organisation fighting for the rights of children worldwide. It has been implementing projects in China since the late 1980s and plays a crucial role in defending the rights of vulnerable children across the country through programmes in education, health, emergency response and child protection.
Speaking about the visit Johan said: "This is the second visit that I have made to a Save the Children project – the first time back home at Emirates Stadium and now in China. It's incredible that the power of Arsenal can touch so many people in so many different ways.
"This project will make such a difference to these young children's lives and it's fantastic to be part of this. It's been a humbling experience."
Justin Forsyth, Chief Executive of Save the Children, added: "Education has the power to transform lives and provide many children with a route out of poverty. This exciting next phase in our partnership with Arsenal will help us reach thousands of children in China, providing them with quality education to build a brighter future and reach their full potential.
"We are thrilled that Johan and Abou have been able to see first hand the huge difference our partnership is making to children's lives in the UK and overseas."
Contributors to the book include Ivan Gazidis, Andre Santos, Robin van Persie, Emmanuel Frimpong, Gervinho and Tomas Rosicky, who have all shared personal experiences from their childhood which will be included in this special edition.

Both surprised and humbled by their nominations, the two look forward to representing the student body at the party on Fat Tuesday, "A Mardi Gras Tradition," at 6:30 p.m. on Feb. 12 at the Royal Sonesta Hotel Houston. The gala is the University's premier scholarship fundraising event of the year.
Jester, who works in the Institutional Advancement office at UST, is active with volunteer organizations on campus including the Society of Macrina and Best Buddies International.
Lauer, a men's basketball player, is an intern with the Blue Cure Foundation and enjoys mentoring at the various basketball camps and events.
Jester Reinforces Diverse Friendship with Service
Chloe Jester, an international development major and economics minor, cherishes the friendships she has been able to forge at St. Thomas. As the college buddy director of Best Buddies International, a nonprofit volunteer organization that facilitates building one-on-one friendships between students and people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, Jester takes pride in building relationships that help special education individuals connect to the community.
Jester has been educated in Catholic schools in Houston her whole life: St. Anne's Catholic School and Incarnate Word Academy. She planned on branching out and attending a secular school, but, during her visit to St. Thomas, she said she instantly fell in love.
"The feel of home and comfort was unlike any place I'd ever been," Jester said. "St. Thomas had the programs and classes I was interested in, and it gives me the opportunity to live away from home, but I'm still able to have dinner with my family on Sundays."
Her first impression of UST was validated because of her involvement with programs, such as the Society of Macrina, her relationships with professors, such as Dr. Michele Simms, and the chance to work in her desired field.
Jester plans to move to Dallas after graduation in May and pursue work in fundraising for nonprofit organizations.
Lauer Seeks Slam Dunk in Sports Marketing
Barrett Lauer, a marketing major, is already making great strides in pursing his goals of working in sports marketing. A 6-foot-3-inch guard on the UST men's basketball team, Lauer works alongside Gabe Canales '99 as an intern for the Blue Cure Foundation, an organization that strives to promote awareness about prostate cancer and encourage prevention through diet and lifestyle habits.
"Being a basketball player, people usually know who we are, and I like to be a role model for younger students and kids," Lauer said. "With Blue Cure, we want to grow, expand and raise awareness about this important issue."
Lauer is working on a video campaign that produces a video each day of someone, mostly UST men's basketball players, encouraging people to investigate the Blue Cure Foundation. Getting first-hand experience in this type of marketing, Lauer knows it will serve him well in the future.
"I'm looking at coaching or sports marketing for my career," Lauer said. "It would be fantastic to do sports marketing, maybe working in Oregon for Nike or an NBA team."
Head Coach Todd Smith recruited Lauer from Montgomery High School. Lauer said balancing athletics and class was strenuous at times, but he had the support of his professors to stay ahead of the curve. He said he had an evening class with the Rev. Dempsey Rosales-Acosta, and he helped him keep up with the work load despite his basketball obligations.
"Taking two classes with Father Dempsey was incredible," Lauer said. "He's so passionate about teaching and the students. We talk for a while every time I see him. We've really formed a connection."
Get Your Tickets to the Mardi Gras Gala
See Jester and Lauer at the 63rd Annual Mardi Gras Gala. Tickets are $500 each and discounted tickets are $200 each for faculty, staff and alumni. For more information, visit stthom.edu/MardiGrasGala.
Jester said it's important for donors to see the accomplishments of students at St. Thomas.
"From a fundraising perspective, it's good for donors to see where the money goes and how it's being used," Jester said. "It's also fun to celebrate St. Thomas, our Catholic heritage and just have a party together."
The event will honor the Franciscan Sisters of the Eucharist who serve the University's students, faculty and staff and exemplify the model of religious life. The University awards more than $11.6 million in scholarships and grants to students annually.

Hi all!
Well, here I go again. I received my amazing GMH helmet this week and I will be painting it as the Pre-Pro 2 helmet.
This will NOT be a fast progress thread (sorry to disappoint anyone who's seen some of my previous threads) as I don't have nearly as much hobby time these days.
But I will endeavor to document everything in as much detail as possible.
The helmet itself is just sexy. It's hard to get a read on how it really looks in photos. The proportions and shapes never come across in two dimensions as they do when you're holding the helmet in your hands.
The casting work is, as expected, practically perfect. I got helmet #9, and there's one small "booger" on the filled-in visor section. However, this will be trimmed away once I cut out that area, so no big deal.
The ear parts and stalk look fantastic, too. I test fitted the ears against the sides of the helmet and the mating surfaces are dead flat. No problem attaching the ears to this bucket! I'm debating whether to get Mojo's aluminum ears when he offers them. If I do, it will bring an even greater level of authenticity to the helmet.
Anwyay, on to some pics. The first couple of shots show it as I received it, right out of the box.
As you can see, the physical damage marks are perfectly preserved and will serve as excellent landmarks in plotting out the damage once painting begins.
Here's a shot of my new baby with my FPH (ESB) and Terminal Fettler (PP3) helmets. This gives a good idea of the overall size and shapes of the various helmets.
The only thing I've done to the helmet so far is give it an acetone bath. Chris recommended doing this to remove any traces of mold release.
Here's a pre-bath shot:
By the way, Vinny's Pizza rules!!
After the acetone bath, I used some Palmolive dish soap and a Scotchbrite-type sponge to wash it off as well. This picture is post-acetone. Shiny!
So that's really it for today. Next up is cutting out the keyslots and visor areas!
Thanks for viewing,

Bill from Florida writes:
Is it possible for a web site that I'm viewing to obtain my email address from my PC in order to send me spam or for another malicious purpose?
While there are a few ways that hackers could obtain your e-mail address while you're viewing a specific page, the circumstances involved make this a very rare occurrence. Typically, it is impossible for anyone to get your e-mail address if you're simply browsing a Web page. If, however, you enter your e-mail address anywhere on the site, such as during login or to be added to a mailing list, there is a possibility that a hacker could obtain this information.
Another way hackers steal e-mail addresses and account information, which is more harmful, is by phishing. They send e-mails that look like they're from legitimate companies, including Facebook, Ebay and banks. These e-mails contain a link to a login page that looks like the real login page, but is actually a fake designed to steal your login information. Although you cannot prevent every attempt that is made to steal your e-mail address or access your e-mail account, there are several things you can do to eliminate the occurrences.
Choose a Browser with Built-in Security
Most of the more commonly used Web browsers, including Google Chrome, Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox have built-in security features to help users cut down on malicious attempts to gather data. Take a look at the browser you're currently using and find out if one of the other browsers offers more or better security features. Nearly all Web browsers are free these days, so if you find one with better features, give it a try. If you don't like it, you're not losing anything.
Browsers will often alert you when something's not right with a Web page. While there's a possibility there is nothing malicious about the page or the site, it may be best to stear clear of these pages just to be safe.
Install Anti-Virus and Malware Protection Software
If your computer is connected to the Internet, anti-virus software is a must. Viruses are capable of a wide range of malicious activities, including spamming everyone in your e-mail address book or destroying all the data on your hard drive. Your computer can only be infected by a virus if you open a file that has the virus inside. This is why you should only open e-mail attachments from people you know. If you must open an attachment from an unknown source, run it through a virus scan first.
Spyware and malware are additional pieces of software that you may find on your computer. You do not want these programs on your computer either. If your anti-virus software does not scan and remove spyware or malware, look for a program that will hunt these little buggers down and get rid of them for you.
Think Before You Click
Hackers will try just about anything to gain access to your information, so make sure to surf the Web and click on links, both there and in your e-mail, wisely. If you get a suspicious looking e-mail from your bank or any other company you deal with regularly, it's best to go to the company's Web site directly and enter your login information, rather than clicking the link provided in the e-mail. Also, if you get a notification about a package or a listing on Ebay that you have no knowledge of, it may be best to ignore the e-mail or contact the company directly to see if it's legitimate.
I hope these tips help you stay safe online.

Most of the dancers are straight and they don't really enjoy customers touching them. It's all about the money for them as they are hustlers. They don't tell you when you do more than 1 song and are mean and aggressive about getting their money. Plus the place is a dump with bed bug couches that they use for lap dances. Spend your money elsewhere.
Great quality beef at a price . I gave 5 stars exclusively based on the looks of the guys that hang out in their undies. Don't go there if you expect to feel loved. But if you want to literally feel sexy muscles and a hunk gyrating on top of you for 20$ a song this is the place to go. It's not clean and the champagne room is anything but private. The lap dance nights are Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday . Unfortunately the eye candies get there too late (after 9:30-10pm during the week and a bit earlier on Sunday) but if you are desperate for beef wait. I have been going since they started 4 years ago and I now know which guys to stay away from because they are too money aggressive . A few of them are really nice and can be fun to hang out with.

These are foods produced following a government-regulated practice of growing and processing that minimizes exposure to pesticides, herbicides, and other chemicals used in traditional farming. Organic food is one of the country's fastest-growing market segments; sales have risen more than 20 percent per year since the 1990s, according to the USDA's Economic Research Service.
Why it's here to stay:
Some organic foods may provide a nutrition boost. A research review of 41 studies conducted by the University of California at Davis found that, on average, organic produce contains as much as 27 percent more vitamin C, 21 percent more iron, and 29 percent more magnesium compared to traditionally grown foods. The kinds of packaged organic foods that now fuel the category's growth, like cookies, baked goods, and boxed meals, also benefit from a similar perception of healthfulness.
What it means for you:
"An organic stamp isn't necessarily a guarantee of nutritional quality, but it is a sure sign that the food is less adulterated," Stokes says. An organic cookie, for example, may have just as many calories and grams of saturated fat as a nonorganic cookie. But in the case of produce crops that are commonly treated with high concentrations of pesticides, like peaches, apples, and strawberries, choosing organic can minimize your exposure to these chemicals, according to tests conducted by researchers from the Environmental Working Group in Washington, D.C.

Collinson & Lock Edward William Godwin
Octagonal Center Table
Edward William Godwin, designer
British, 1833-1886
Collinson & Lock, manufacturer
English, 1870-1897
Octagonal Center Table, ca. 1875
Rosewood and mahogany, with brass
73.7 x 100.3 x 100.3 cm (29 x 39 1/2 x 39 1/2 inches)
Helen M. Danforth Acquisition Fund 1990.048
To late nineteenth-century Aesthetic Movement tastemakers, art did not require a didactic purpose or a sentimental message; it needed only to offer aesthetic pleasure. This octagonal center table with delicately turned legs and rosewood veneer is a work of beauty and fragility in the Japanese taste. The table is light and portable for practical reasons, among which is that the designer —-architect E. W. Godwin, a central figure in the Aesthetic Movement—- wanted to make furniture that could be easily rearranged. In 1877, the painter James Abbott McNeill Whistler commissioned Godwin to design his White House in Chelsea (England), and in the 1880s Godwin decorated writer Oscar Wilde's nearby residence. Godwin's sketches for this table are housed among his papers at the Victoria and Albert Museum, London.

Safety Tips for Joyful Holidays
Safety Tips for Joyful Holidays
By Attorney General Roy Cooper
The holiday season is a busy and fun time of year. But don't let the holiday excitement keep you from taking necessary precautions to avoid crimes, scams and accidents.
Nothing ruins good cheer faster than being the victim of a crime or scam. Rather than taking a break for the holidays, criminals and con artists often prey on distracted shoppers and target homes or cars filled with gifts. By using a little caution and common sense, you can protect yourself and your loved ones while you enjoy the holidays.
Keep your home safe.
Make your home less appealing to thieves. Keep presents away from windows and doors, and lock up every time you leave. If you're headed out of town, remember to stop delivery of your mail or get someone to pick it up for you to make sure that identity thieves don't get it. Also, consider setting your lights on an automatic timer to make it look like someone is home.
Stay safe while shopping.
Shop for those last minute gifts during daylight hours when possible. If you have to shop at night, try to go with a friend or family member. Park and walk in well-lit areas, and lock valuables and packages in the trunk rather than leaving them out where thieves may see them. If you feel unsafe walking to your car after dark, ask a store clerk or mall security to escort you.
Shop safely online, too.
If you shop online, stick to buying from well-established companies with secure web sites (look for a lock icon on the site and a web address that starts with "https"). Keep records of your orders and pay by credit card to protect yourself if your order doesn't arrive.
Be careful with decorations.
Secure your Christmas tree properly in a tree stand and place it away from doors, pathways, fireplaces or radiators. Keep the tree watered so it won't dry out. Also, keep ornaments that could shatter into dangerous fragments out of the reach of children and pets.Don't leave a burning fire or candle unattended, and keep flammable decorations such as trees and greenery away from open flames. Never overload sockets with too many lights, and always turn off your holiday lights before you leave home.
Remember that criminals and scammers don't take a holiday.
Always be aware of your surroundings and protect your wallet and access to your credit or debit cards when in public. Avoid carrying large amounts of cash. Consider paying by credit card because federal law limits your liability if your credit card is stolen. And never share personal information with telemarketers who call you or respond to emails or text messages that ask you for personal information.
I hope these tips will help you and your family stay safe and happy during the holidays and into the New Year.

Lacrosse news straight to your inbox.
Tuesday August 6th, 2013 1:04am
The world is abuzz with the Olympics. With the U19 World Championships and European Lacrosse Championships just in our rearview — and news that the FIL joined SportAccord — lacrosse's place in the Olympics is often speculated.
The National Lacrosse League shared a brief history of lacrosse in the Olympics. It's also been discussed here on College Crosse.
Here's a little more I stumbled on about the 1908 Olympics Games, in which lacrosse was an official sport. In the Games, Canada beat England, 14-10, in the only game of the match (South Africa withdrew from competition.). In 1904, Canada beat USA.
The following excerpts are taken from "The Official Report of the Fourth Olympiad." (It's a large document, so it will take a long time to download.) This report has been around the internet before, but it's an interesting look given the Games being in London again this year. Take special note of the writing of the era.
South Africa having withdrawn, the only entries left for the Lacrosse Competition were Canada and the United Kingdom, but quality made up for quantity, and though the game is not yet as well-known as it ought to be on this side of the Atlantic, there was little doubt in the spectators' minds, after seeing this match, that such graceful, fast, and skilful play would be much more widely and deeply appreciated here than has ever been the case before. Both teams were in splendid condition. It was certainly the best exposition of lacrosse ever given in this country, and, equally certainly, it was the finest effort our own players have yet made against any Canadian team. The English side was by far the strongest ever put into the field.
Special care was taken to keep the ground in as good condition as possible for the match of October 24. The only alteration that might be suggested in future tournaments is that two teams, instead of only one, might be allowed to represent each country.
The Englishmen wore red jerseys, and the Canadians had white trimmed with green, with a maple-leaf on the breast. The ground was hard beneath and slippery above, and a little hail fell after the start; but nothing prevented a very fast display, and the weather, on the whole, was good.
For the first time in the history of Canadian lacrosse a team had been selected from all parts of the Dominion to uphold the honour of the nation al game. The difficulties of the undertaking over so vast an area were necessarily great, and they were augmented by the compulsory amateurism required by the Olympic Council. There are still amateurs in plenty playing in Canada, but their skill is well below the professional standard. Consequently it was not until several trial games had been held that the fifteen players were chosen, and they included members of clubs as far apart as New Westminster and Montreal, a distance of 3,000 miles. Hitherto clubs such as Toronto have sent their teams on tour in this country, and they have generally been labelled "The Canadians"; but the Olympic match at the Stadium was the first encounter between the picked amateurs of the two countries, and as such it marked a distinct epoch in lacrosse. The game itself proved to be one of unusual interest, and it was hailed by a crowd, the large majority of whom had assembled to watch the subsequent football match and knew nothing of lacrosse, with unmistakable signs of approval and enthusiasm. It is impossible that such a game as lacrosse, played in the spirit and with the ability that prevailed here, should not appeal to a sport-loving crowd such as was assembled at the Stadium. The finer points of the game were quickly appreciated, and the brilliant short passing of the Canadians and the fine running and direct attack of' the Englishmen were abundantly recognised.
Lord Roberts, the Right Hon. A. J. Balfour, Baron and Baroness de Tuyll, Lady Sibyl Grey, Lord and Lady Desborough, and many others were present when the match began, and before its close the Lord Mayor arrived in state. The cheers for Canada when the winning team received from him the Olympic gold medals they had so well earned were loud and long from all parts of the crowded enclosure.
A special set of rules had been prepared in order that the conditions under which the game is played in Canada, the United States, Australia, and England might be assimilated, and the Olympic match saw the goal crease enlarged, with special restrictions that prevented an opponent from entering it ; a white ball was used, slightly heavier than English players are accustomed to and somewhat lighter than Canadians use ; the ground was hemmed in by a canvas wall ; and the time of play was divided into four quarters instead of two halves. These were innovations from an English point of view, but every endeavour had been made by the lacrosse authorities to adopt Canadian views, as some small acknowledgment to a team that had come so far.
The Code of Laws used, which differs from the usual English code, appears in later pages of this Report.
Both teams opened scratchily, and to some extent warily, for with the sides adopting somewhat different formations, both had to work into new situations. Canada was much surer of the ball than England, but her work was slow and soft, very careful and very deliberate. Turnbull obtained the ball from the first face, as he did several others, and Canada at once attacked ; then the ball made a short visit to the other end, and on its return some weak checking on England's defence enabled Canada to score the first goal in little more than a minute. Double that time was occupied before Johnson made a fine run and passed to Buckland who scored for England. Canada now pressed considerably, and, as the English defences were playing in very uncertain fashion, the score rose. Turnbull scored with a remarkable angle shot, having less than three inches to shoot at, through Scott being out of goal and checking first home in anticipation of a pass to that player. Brennan had a hand in two further points ; one knocked through as the result of a poor stop by Scott and another slipped in after the English goalkeeper had stopped with his mouth. Thus the first "twenty" found Canada leading by five goals to one. The second period was quiet for a time, the Englishmen not having yet recovered from their lethargy. There was little of that movement and athletic activity upon which the team was to rely. However, it was the home team that scored the next point, Jones just finding the inside of one of the posts. A longer game ensued, and only on the approach of half- time were the Canadians able to get through. The second quarter had realised a goal each, and the score stood at six goals to two. The third period was remarkably prolific in scoring, for no fewer than eight points were added to the total. Five of these went to England and three to Canada, so that its conclusion saw England in a better position, and Canada's lead reduced to nine goals to seven. Hamilton had changed places with Turnbull at centre, and Whitley got the best of the face. Parker-Smith secured from the surrounding scrummage, and with a fine run enabled Jones to score a smart goal. Except that Dutton was the invader, the next game was very similar, and Jones added the finishing touch as before. Then came Canada's turn, led by the irrepressible Turnbull, who first scored with another fine angle shot, and then ran straight through Parker-Smith and scored with a very low, hard shot. As the direct result of a free throw given against England, the ball was worked behind goal and then whipped through from the lob in front—an old dodge, for which " check sticks " used to be the remedy. From now the game veered in England's favour. The team had gradually been waking up, and now at last played its true game. Rapid passing down the field from crosse to crosse whilst on the run gave Jones and Buckland their chance, and the last-named scored. Parker-Smith was soon away, and similar work enabled Buckland to score again, and then, after a slight rally by Canada, the same player once more got through in most brilliant fashion. Excitement ran high when the last period was started. Canada attacked to begin with, but Alexander, who had followed down, received the ball again from Mason, and some fine work, in which Hayes participated, enabled Jones to tip the ball in at close quarters. The next game was brief, and was taken by England as the result of further good combined work. This score brought the totals level, at nine goals. From here the English play deteriorated, and Canada, led as before by Turnbull, gradually won the match. Turnbull first enabled Brennan to knock through from a lob, and so Canada was one up. Then splendid short passing, in which the whole attack shared, was successful. Turnbull next found himself free near goal, with the inevitable result, and once again Brennan knocked through from a lob behind of Turnbull's. Hereabouts the English defence had gone to pieces, and so two Canadians were left free in front of goal, and Canada added their last point. England scored once more, which brought the concluding totals to fourteen goals to Canada and ten to England.
A heck of a game from Alex Turnbull. My favorite line from the above: "The game itself proved to be one of unusual interest, and it was hailed by a crowd, the large majority of whom had assembled to watch the subsequent football match and knew nothing of lacrosse, with unmistakable signs of approval and enthusiasm. It is impossible that such a game as lacrosse, played in the spirit and with the ability that prevailed here, should not appeal to a sport-loving crowd such as was assembled at the Stadium."
Another interesting part is the regulations and rules section. You can find this on page 569 of the report, but here are some noteworthy excerpts.
The crosse may be of any length. In its widest part it shall not exceed one foot. A string must be brought through a hole at the side of the tip of the turn to prevent the point of the stick catching an opponent's crosse. A leading string resting on the top of the stick may be used. No string may be fastened so as to form a pocket. The length strings shall be woven to within two inches of their termination, so that the ball cannot catch in the meshes. No metal of any kind shall be allowed upon the crosse; splices must be made either with string or gut.
Should an accident or injury occur to any player which, in the opinion of the Referee, incapacitates him from playing, the opposing side must withdraw one of their players as long as the player remains so incapacitated. If the "accident" or "injury" is due to a foul, and the Referee suspend the offending player, a player other than the suspended one shall be withdrawn.
The whole document is worth a read just for its historical significance, whether you read about lacrosse or not. Will lacrosse become an Olympic sport? Only time will tell. But for now, we can be excited about the 2014 FIL World Championships, held in Denver. The USA roster for the "Duel in Denver" matchup of Team USA vs. Canada can be found here.

New York State (and City) firearms laws follow a logic all their own, and have absolutely no relationship to any other rationality known to mankind.
Further, the laws of each and every New York State county is different from those of any other.
If you wish to possess a gun in New York State, you need to consult New York State laws, not us firearms owners. New York State, like all of the states of the US, maintains a website on which all of its laws are published and indexed. If you do not feel competent to consult that on your own, I strongly suggest seeking the specific advice of an attorney licensed to practice in New York State.
You may need a permit to merely purchase a firearm, depending upon in which county your receiving FFL licensee operates. Or, you may need no permit to purchase, but you will need a permit merely to possess subsequent to the purchase.
Good luck.

Re: Oil on 2 plugs
Doc here..
Wow..you win...I thought I held the Long~in~the Text award...but you have me beat hands down...
Not mad (other than insane...) At all!
It's my Gene pool that needs a lifeguard!!
Thanks for the "More Details" you provided, It throws a different light on the situation...
Sounds like an engine that high mileage might be ready for rings / Valves soon..and it's starting to show up a little at a time..Do a full compression test and see what the numbers look like..`125 to 150 and your good for a while..
You might still want to do the stem seals...a good cheap stop gap on the oil consumption.
I thought you were talking about plug wire sets...that weren't working out...Sorry about that.
Save up some cash (throw any change in a jar or as I did, a Box, under $5 bucks every night...no matter how much it hurts!) For a new set of good 8 mm or better spiral core wires, plugs and a rotor...
you'll find your cash will mount up fast with the jar trick...like 2 or 3 paydays..I did that over ALL of last summer...in a Tupperware casserole box (the big one..like 1 foot by 2 foot.) saved up almost 1700.00 bucks when I dumped it on the bank guy...mostly $1 bills..The happy guy had to count it all...)
If you can, get rid of, (solve the problem) the anti Fowler's, probably the Seals will help to do that. Your not doing your idle / performance any favors and only forestalling the inevitable anyway...your fuel economy should go up with all 8 firing..properly!
My Vettes are:
81's were the first FULL production year out of the new Bowling greenPlant when Corvette moved the division there in 80..Those had "Weird" Bugs in them..AND they were the crossover to the CCCC confuser system for smog...from the CCC (1980) .
As For the tires, It just ain't worth changing them yourself (although it can be done) Rims today are made of alloy's that scratch, and burr when you try to "Horse" a tire on the rim, not like the old steel solid rim days..AND It's a LOT of work! Besides, your gonna want them balanced when your done, or your misfire won't bother you at all, you'll never feel it for the shimmy!
Usually a gas station with an old Coats 1010 will mount them for 5 to 7 bucks a tire (if it's a mom and pop, and your nice to them..)and balance for a buck or two more..Or try an "Old School" wrecking yard..they might let you do it for free..(especially if you buy a used tire or two from them!)
The doctor got angry at me!!! aaahh!!
No, doc, it wasn't that kinda "fresh".... I couldn't afford that type of freshness....
Fresh for the engine I'm using to me meant things someone hadn't done to it for a while..... like.....
Head gasket, valve cover gaskets, flywheel, scraped a bunch of gunk build-up out from under the intake, repl. cast iron 2bbl intake with an aluminum 4bbl intake, new engine mounts, new distributor cap, plugs, wires, water flushed out, new dipstick, new oil cap, headers... many new things... as we are in the trade, we of course are tax exempt from the parts and get everything at aboult half of list, but I still spent upwards of 600 doing all the above and more..exhaust system not included as that cost 325.
This came out of a 1975 Chevy G10 van which had well over 200,000 miles on it... probably in the range of 220,000 to 250,000.
The van had fell apart around the engine, and I saw it as a great oppertunity as I knew the guy was going to "donate" it to charity, I instead asked him to "donate" it to ME! (knowing full well that at some point in the future I will definatley rebuild the heads and bore everything over, etc.. just can't afford it now, and when my plugs aren't fouled, it runs like a top.)
(Pulled the TH350 out of that van as well.... driving reckless I've been through 3 TH350's and the original 200C monte carlo transmission... this one has lasted a long time, and I believe it's original to the van)
As for wires, Doc... You've mis-interpreted me, but that's okay because sometimes I even mis-interpret myself..
What I meant was I couldn't find good ones around as in... laying around the garage... .. good as in.. good enough to make it run, and I ended up finding 2 from an old chrysler engine that was sitting in there and put them on whichever way I could get them on.. (it was pretty stupid to try and use cutting pliers to get a boot off a spark plug... and then I did it AGAIN.. cut 2 of them in 2 minutes.. STUPID STUPID idea lol.. we needed the garage so I had to find some wires to get it the hell out of there) --my wires never really went, 6 of them are the same wires from last November... it's just those 2 I had to replace because of a dumb idea.
As for the anti-foulers... I'm only using 2 of them so it's not that bad right now.... and I wouldn't want any more... in fact, when I get the valve seals done, as I will do, I am going to remove them as I believe I got lazy and just put them any old place as I don't get any oil build up on the passenger side of the engine anyway and that's where one of them is, and the other is in the #1 cyl and I don't think that's a trouble spot either.. just 3 and 5. #3 has one of those special anti-fouling plugs in it which seems to do okay for now, and #5 i keep changing.
Maybe I'm too picky.. lol.. It WOULD go unnoticed in any other car because I'm not behind the wheel of any other car.. lol... I used to have a miss on 3 cyl and couldn't tell the diff a few yrs ago... sometimes with an 8 at high speeds u really can't... --sometimes--
Now? I can hear, I can feel, I can SMELL 1 plug missing.. as it's doing now.. 1 isn't hitting right and I'm gonna have to solve that....
Thanks for replying though Doc!
Ever since my post about the 4bbl carb and its butteflies and secondaries.... I've always enjoyed reading what you write to me.
By the way, what year vettes do you own?
We've got a customer here who's a retired supreme court judge who is 81 yrs old and has an 81 corvette.... what a hunk of junk to be honest... that car, seriously, is in my driveway for repairs 3x a month!
I'm beginning to think he just leaves it here on weekends so he has more parking in front of the house for company.. hehehe.. I remember one time he bought those steel braided spark plug wires and never grounded them? that was a joke!
By the way doc,
I dunno if my problem is TOO bad right now.. once I get it running smooth, as I just did.. and probably woke all tne neighbors in doing so.... changed 2 plugs and took off one of those antifoulers, it's running like the top that it is... -- plugs will only start missing maybe a month or two later once they're all working-- its just that during warm up-- then they foul faster, as it runs pretty rough until that choke opens up.
. and lately this week all it's been doing is being started each day and not driven due to 1 flat and 1 tire showing steel threads... that I haven't had the chance to fix (doesn't bother me yet, don't get license back till Oct 8th).. which brings up another question--- How hard would it be to mount my own tires doing it the old fashioned way? My grandfather who's 82 and still in the mechanic business says he could probably mount a tire to a rim manually in 20 minutes or less if he had the tools still. I'm getting tired of paying someone all this money to put a tire on the rim. I'll save $80 car-round and mount the things myself if i knew it weren't a pain in the butt.
Doc here
Are you saying this engine was fresh in Nov?
If so you (or your re-builder) Did something Wayy wrong...
You SHOULD not need seals on less than a year old engine, even if it sat for the most part of almost a year.
If it was running anti fowler's before, and you still have them in place, something is NOT right.
If you did NOT rebuild the heads, then it's probably time to do so, If you are having fouling issues this bad.
And if this is the case, Seals may not stop the problem at all...though it may slow it up some, you may be looking at new guides too.
Also, it brings to mind your mention of plug wire issues...
you say you can't find "Good" enough plug wires, or they die soon after putting them on.
If your running Anti fowler's your plug is recessed out of the chamber enough not to fire as well or as Efficient it should, Even if you have a "Hot" or high energy Ignition...making it seem like the plugs and wires are going bad sooner than they should...
The slightest change in their resistance (which would go unnoticed is any other car) Would cut fire power...Smooth Idle and performance.
Do a Wet and Dry Compression test, If the numbers are low, then time to think about pulling the heads and sending them into the shop for a Valve R&R...
You could also do Valve seals (something you can do on the car) Then remove the Anti fowler's, and see if BOTH problems go away..before pulling the heads.
Might be time for the heads to be redone. You can do things to counter the problem but eventually you'll want to get it fixed. You might try stepping up 1 heat range in plugs to help keep them clean.
40 bucks for a set of wires isn't much. Most high-quality low resistance wires go for 60-90+ these days.
valve seals.. that was it... gotta get some of those..
lol, no, it's not engine time... i just put this one together in November, but it's always had this problem... I just didn't get the chance to find out about it until I put it in the car and never got around to solving it...
If it were engine time......... I've got my ol' 85 305 sittin in the garage that came out of this car... probably wouldn't work as we ripped the computer and its harness out tho...
and yeah, I was talkin about non-foulers...... they actually work pretty good for me, as those are the only plugs I never change..
the problem is usually the 2 middle plugs on the driver side though.... i dried em all off, put a new one in one of those middle cylinders... i think it's #5...
and i can hear that only 1 plug is missing now.... my whole plug set-up is a mess anyway.... i just can't justify 40 for wires and I'm using motocraft plugs (all the same) in a chevy.... they actually seem better than all the champions and ac-delco's that i've put in there; they've lasted the longest.
i only need 2 wires.... 2 that broke a long time ago i replaced with whatever was laying around... one's got the spark plug boot on the distributor LOL!
but hey, it works, and when its not burning oil, it's a dream to drive.
maybe I should just take all the oil out of the damned car, that might fix my oil problem on the plugs!!! hehehe ;-)
Thanks for the answers, gentlemen.
I think he's talking about the "non-foulers" that are sold to back the plug out of the cylinder some. They kinda work, but it sounds like its engine time.
What's this about "extensions"?
Are you saying that the spark plug wire boots are getting oil on them?
Get some new valve cover gaskets..................
|Well there are only two ways oil can get on your spark plug. One is past the piston rings, and the other is past the valve seals. Oil on the plugs usually means one of the two is leaking. I would venture to say your valve seals are the culprit and allowing oil to drip onto your plugs while the engine is idle.
Oil on 2 plugs
Okay, simple question-- I searched the forums and only came up with people getting really BAD problems with oil and plugs, things like detonation and using octane boosters-- that's not my case.
When you're getting oil on a plug... (all my plugs get oil with my 75 SBC 350).. but 2 usually get it the worst. I would put those plug extensions on them to avoid this but... the headers don't allow that where I have the problem.
If I remember, oil on a plug is a simple problem meaning a gasket or a seal or something in the valve covers.. what is it again?

« more RISD stories
Professor Duane Slick's piece 3 AM Light (2010, acrylic on linen)
by RISD Professor Duane Slick
are featured in We Are Here!: The Eiteljorg Contemporary Art Fellowship, which opened on June 2
at the Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian's George Gustav Heye
Center in New York.
Working in a range of media – including
artist's books – Slick is known for examining themes that include the complex
interaction between personal memories and cultural histories, and how this is
continuously reshaped over time and by 21st-century realities. Kathleen Ash-Milby, a curator at the National
Museum of the American Indian (NMAI), describes his work in We Are Here! as "employing a limited
palette of white on white, and using shadow imagery to create a series of
intriguing compositions. More recently, he began working with black on black,
and with more illustrative imagery," she adds.
"The Eiteljorg exhibition shows my transition
from the white paintings to the black paintings," Slick explains, noting that
the white works are from a series called Instructions
on the Care and Use of White Space, while the black paintings are part of a
body of work called The Untraceable
Present. "The transition speaks to a number of things that were happening
in my life at the time, namely the passing of both my parents, who were from
two different tribes. One of the things I realized during that period was that
I think of my mother's tribal knowledge [Ho-Chunk] as being atmospheric, and of
my father's [Sauk and Fox Nation of Iowa/Meskwaki] as photographic. Both the
black and the white paintings hold layers of meaning, and those meanings
include my relationships with my parents and these two tribal nations."
Eiteljorg fellowship is a biannual program in which five American Indian
fellows and a selected artist are chosen by an independent jury to receive an
unrestricted honorarium of $25,000 to facilitate their growth as artists. Slick
is joined by other 2011
Eiteljorg fellows Bonnie
Devine, Skawennati, Anna Tsouhlarakis and Alan Michelson (a former RISD faculty
member) in the exhibition, which was organized by the Eiteljorg Museum of
American Indians and Western Art.
We Are
Here! continues through September 23.

Smethwyck is the surname of a wizarding family. It is unknown if they are pure-blood, or have both magical and Muggle ancestry.
Family Members

- Leopoldina Smethwyck — a pioneering Quidditch referee
Smethwick is a town in the West Midlands, England. Its name may mean "village of smiths," from the plural form of Old English smiþ, "smith," and wic, "village."[1] Another theory is that the town's name derives from Old English smethe, "smooth," and wic, "village," thus meaning "village on a plain."[2]

engine swap 36 cord to GM V/8 FRONT WHEEL DRIVE
Hi everybody i just bought a beautiful 1936 cord westchester and i want to convert to a gm v/8 front wheel drive to eliminate the troublesome cord drivetrain i'm 75 years young and want enjoy the car now, i need all the info i can get for this conversion thanks,jerrycord
Lets move to general rodding tech...Now to answer some of the question..Once you settle on a donor but the whole car as those late models are electronic and you will need all the cpu's and wiring harness as well as the engine and trans..Not usre on the late GM stuff but most fwd cars mount the engine trans and suspension on a cradle which is then attached to the car so you will need to have the whole cradle and transplant all that as a unit into the Cord..Measure measure measure and take some trips to the pick-a-part with camera and tape measure to see just what is what and what may work for you in that app..
Sam,i appreaciate the quick reply and the good advice,thanks,jerry
thats quite an ambitious project. i would probably start by looking for a frame that is set up for what you want to do to start with and figure how to put the cord body on it.
GM swap
I saw a GM transplant into a 49 Stude 4 door saturday at a car show. The owner wasn't around to ask questions but it had the GM radiator support, inner fender panels and firewall, It looked like a new car under the hood. , A lot of hoses, AC system, wires, air intake, etc. I don't know if the whole floor pan and rear suspension was used, The tires fit in the fenders, and from the outside it looked stock with new aluminum wheels. John Long here on hotrodders put a 49 Merc body on a rear wheel drive 69 Buick skylark chassis, floor pan-firewall using wiring steering brakes etc, the old body shell on the new base.
A vehicle you might consider is a Cadillac Eldorado or Olds Toranado front half as a donor (sometimes referred to as the GM "E-body"). The engine/transmission and suspension will be robust enough to handle the weigh of the Cord.
And welcome aboard!
I had to google this, I wasn't sure of the look. What a beautiful car! I would be prepared to be vocally assaulted by the purists. :mad: I don't know of the problems you might encounter with the stock running gear but I would look into the 70's Toronado or fwd Caddy running gear. It may be a tough find. There is a Caddy grave yard in the Lancaster, Ca. area, maybe a good place to check in to. Good luck, keep us posted, this is definitely one of a kind project. Dan
I would really be reluctant to destroy this car with late model engine and drive line. While I knew what a Cord looks like, wasn't aware of the different models so did a search. This is one link I found:
"Only 1174 of these 1936 Cord model 810 Westchester Sedans were manufactured. Lauded at the time as the most impressive American design, it was late getting to production and many orders were cancelled. Despite the trouble Cord had getting the cars delivered, it is still an impressive and imposing creation. Innovative in design, the 810 presented one of the first cars without running boards, with an "alligator" hood, front wheel drive, and hide-away headlights. This Westchester was restored in the US in the early 70's and is in good running condition. It has been in a Museum for many years so will need to be refurbished, though the paint, bright work, and interior are all in very good condition and show extremely well. There is no rust on the car. The original 288ci V-8 is sound. Belts and hoses may need replacing, the brakes need service, and new weather stripping will need to be installed. This Cord is a remarkable car for any age. Car is available for inspection where located in Germany. Documentation is available. For more information please call Tom at 803-370-6354 or follow the link to email - themotorclub21.com/Contact.html" themotorclub21.com.
The asking price was $69,500, selling price, probably still North of $60,000.
Now, if you are really interested in doing this, don't mind the $$$ hit to your retirement options, we'll give you lots of advice.
As far as a cross mounted engine/front wheel drive - why? There are many others, but IMO, that little 3.6 you suggest, probably not going to give you the performance you would like, especially if you stay with tall tires. Then any front wheel drive could give you major pain for adaptation to that chassis as I'm guessing some of the suspension geometry will be altered to fit the chassis/wheel well requirement
If you opt for the north/south FWD like from the Caddy or Olds Toronado, you can use relatively common engines like the Cad 425, 472 or 500, or a Pontiac 400/455, or an Olds 455, or a Buick 455. For that matter, w/just a relatively inexpensive adapter plate, you can bolt up a Chevy V8. You'd want something w/a lot of torque, at least a 383/400 SBC or preferably a 454-plus BBC.
How is it that you have come to the idea of cutting this car up to make it into a franken-mobile?
cut up rollsroyce
A buddy of mine was Saleen's Vp of engineering, a retired Ford engineer. He bought a 55 rolls limo that had been in Queen Elizebeth fleet, It broke down when he took it for a test drive, and the asking price dropped. He did a GM wagon front clip and Ford 460-C6 and 9 in rear, He got a little static when he was selling the Rolls parts but just says he hasn't had to call a tow truck.
:smash: Are you serious??? Why not get a Cord replica which has the modern drive train and bells and whistles?
Major 9issue with the early Cord is that the drivetrain was not all that good even when new so changing to a later more modern drivetrain so the car is usable and driveable can be a good choice. After looking at some images of original Cord cars I thinks something to explore would be using the drivetrain from a late 4x4 pickup such as a Tahoe or perhaps a Dakota with the IFs front axle..I would just blank off the rear shaft on the transfer case and run FWD only. I am not concerned about the axle as we can get those to work fine in the off road deal and using a low pinion axle would keep the ride height in the correct area and the engine/trans/transfer case are all proven units..That may fit a lot easier than any of the other ideas..
buy one
I have known of a few of these, a friend of mine had one and it cost him a fortune to get it right. Can I suggest you buy one already done and start driving it today, unless you have 2 years and $100k to fix the one you have.. Damn nice car, hate to see it get swapped around, some things are sacred !!!
Don't cords have the engine longitudinally placed even with FWD?
In that case, yes i agree--- a conventional engine and trans with transfer case running the front axle only would probably be what i would want to try as well----much easier than finding an "e" body---toronado/eldorado drivetrain.
