City Councilman Calls on ACS to Release More Reports
New York, NY —
The head of the city council's general welfare committee is calling on the Administration for Children's services to submit information from weekly agency meetings that discuss potential problems on individual cases.
Recently, the city's Department of Investigation issued a troubling report outlining serious mistakes made by caseworkers which contributed to the deaths of several children with ACS case histories. Councilman Bill Deblasio says while the report was thorough, it was not necessarily new information.
The Administration for Children's Services says it already provides De Blasio's committee with a long list of statistics on a quarterly basis. But the city councilman says the information isn't enough to determine whether actual casework is improving.

Additions to Agenda: Discussion of Meeting of Beth Woodard with Moms Association and Dads Association
Minutes of April 10, 2000 approved
Continuing Education / Professional Development
Lori DuBois handed out comparative summary statistics regarding the centralized workshops during 1999-2000 academic year. Members were encouraged to read through the information and let Lori know if this information was adequate or if there is other information which might be helpful. Some ideas for changes for next term are:
Lynn Rudasill reported on the results of this survey of political science and sociology students. Some of the results showed: students did well on research questions, had problems with the terms truncation and Boolean, knew the Library Gateway well, identified scholarly journals, understood what particular citations referred to. In the fall she plans to expand the survey with the help of OIR.
Beth spoke to both associations at the suggestion of Roxanne Fry. They are pushing for a 1 credit freshmen experience class which might include library instruction. The organizations publish a brochure that is handed to freshmen in the fall. This might be a place to include information about the workshops. It is completed for fall 2000, but maybe we could put something in fall 2001. We also discussed the need for magnets (or other promotional items) with the library Information Desk phone number, URL, etc. on it to promote the library during Quad Day and other events.
Meeting was adjourned.

Great Horned Owl (Bubo virginianus)
Dave, I was on my way to work one morning in Hunt Co Texas, and saw a great horned owl sitting on the side of the road. he just stood there looking dazed, so I went over and looked closer. He/it never moved. He looked bad, covered with lice so bad and I knew he would, for sure, die. But I rushed back home, got a trash can, put it over him, carefully slid the lid under it and some how got it in the car and took him to a friendly veteranarrian whose place was on the way and dropped him off. It was a painfull experience seeing a once majestic such as it to be so helpless and dying and nothing to be done. But I guess dying is a part of living.
at least you cared enough to do something horay for you nancy
Hi!! I just had a question that maybe someone could answer? Last night we just discovered that there are 5 great horned owls just down the road from us. It appears that there are three owlets, althought not positive, and an adult mom and dad. There's just one huge problem; they are at the very top of those very very big power lines. So i guess my question is would I be safe to try and access the property, with owners permission of course, and attempt to get closer to get a picture, or would i be in danger of an owl attack? If so, is there any suggestions as to how I could closer without scaring them off and without getting attacked?
Hello Raptor, I can understand how extremely frustrating that could be.
I wouldn't worry as much about being attacked as the high voltage. then the attack bit. I've sat here and sympathized with you, and searched my mind, but danged if I can come up with a no fail solution.
you might check with the Electric outfit but is doubtful they would give you permission to climb but you might check with Discover Magazine and tell them about the owls and they might decide it would make a beautiful photo story and figure out how to get it. I think they may have some pull to get something going if they become interested.
Good luck. Let me know what happens if you do.

Holden McGroinwrote a review of DC Versatile High WR Skate Shoe - Men's on February 3, 2012
Bizarre situation - had to return
I ordered this shoe, different color, in my normal size, a 10, Men's. The shoe came rapdily, the service from Backcountry was great... BUT - I have no idea whether the tags inside the shoe were wrong, but the tags glued to the tongues said 'Men's 10" - however, I could not FORCE my foot down into either shoe. So I don't know if they all fit two or three sizes too small, if this one was actually a woman's size with the wrong label, or what. Very disappointed; but thankful for the great return policy from Backcountry.

Owling Lincoln Park with Stewart
Due to popular demand I am scheduling my next owling adventure at Lincoln Park. We will start before sunset in hopes to get a peek at the resident Barred Owls with some daylight, and go into the night, looking and listening in hopes of some owl action in their prime activity time. While the owls can be finicky, and are never guaranteed, the wildflowers are just getting started and we will see and learn about a few of them by flashlight, and may examine any other plant, animal or fungus that piques anyone's curiosity. Lincoln Park has retained more of the area's ancient flora than any other spot in Seattle.
We'll meet at the north parking lot on Fauntleroy Wy SW across from SW Rose St (between SW Monroe and SW Thistle) at the kiosk at the middle of the west edge of the parking lot.
All ages are welcome! Come alone! Bring a friend! Bring a parent or grandparent or a child or grandchild! Programs designed to work for all ages and levels, so that neither kids, nor adults, experts nor novices will feel that the program is oriented mostly to the other group. Wear shoes that can handle a muddy spot or two in the trail. Parents remind kids to use the bathroom before the program.

The Second Income: Is It Worth It?Barbara Hetzer
For Nancy McCardel, the days start early. At 5:30 a.m., she gets up to feed her 3-month-old daughter before showering and dressing in a blouse and suit ($300, plus $12 a week for dry cleaning). She rouses her 8-year-old son, and during the summer, whisks him off to a day-care center ($112 per week). She then drops off her daughter at another center ($210 per week) across town. She drives downtown to her job ($4 roundtrip, plus $22.50 per week for parking) as managing supervisor for a public relations firm in Atlanta and picks up a gourmet cup of coffee ($3 a day). She eats lunch ($4) at her desk. At 4:30 she races from the office to get the kids. After a quick dinner, she bathes the children, reads to them, tucks them into their freshly made beds ($70 for bimonthly housecleaning), and does chores. By 10:30, she tumbles into bed. At week's end, this 35-year-old wife and mother wonders: Is it worth it?
Financially, the answer isn't clear. Although more than half of all women with preschool children hold paid jobs, many of them soon discover that much of their earnings are eaten up by the costs of child care, a professional wardrobe, and other work-related expenses. Ultimately, some women (and many men) argue it doesn't pay for women to work when the kids are small.
The numbers certainly seem to support that assumption. For example, a hypothetical suburban couple working in New York City and whose combined income is $150,000 saves more than $15,000 in federal taxes, $5,070 in FICA taxes, and $5,184 in state and local taxes when they live on a single income of $80,000. The couple will save an additional $32,634 when they lop off the mother's costs of working: child care, commuting, and such. Instead of losing $70,000 in income, the actual loss is only $4,544 (table).
Each family's spending habits vary so widely, of course, that it's almost impossible to generalize about how lucrative a second income actually is. And having the option to choose between working or staying at home with your child is a luxury that millions of single mothers and less-affluent families don't have. Still, on paper, it often seems that a second salary for a higher-income family doesn't mean much improvement in their standard of living--especially in the child's early years.
That determination is shocking, but also somewhat misleading. While a good chunk of a working mother's salary does foot those work-related expenses, it's questionable how much would be saved if the woman stayed at home. Whether you work in an office or stay at home, you still have to eat, says Jane Bermont, a consultant with Boston-based WFD, a leading provider of corporate work/life programs.
Grabbing a tuna on rye from the fridge isn't as pricey as the lunch special downtown, but you may wind up eating out lunch frequently with other stay-at-home moms and their tots. Even a quick chat over a cup of coffee and danish will set you back three bucks. What's more, you may find yourself doing more shopping now that you have the time. That's not altogether a bad thing, if you shop the sales. Your babysitter costs won't be eliminated entirely. You'll still need to get away from the kids--to run errands or enjoy time by yourself.
The real problem in this tally, however, is its short-term view. Even if your take-home pay covers little more than your expenses, argues Cindy Hounsell, executive director of the Women's Institute for a Secure Retirement in Washington, from a financial standpoint, it would still pay to work. "By remaining in the workforce, you're making a long-term investment in your career and future earnings," says Hounsell.
Child-care costs, the heftiest expense by far for most working mothers, don't last forever. Eventually, Junior will grow up and go to school. And by that time, most working moms will have gotten a raise, maybe even a promotion, and regularly siphoned some cash into a 401(k) or similar retirement fund. Our New York professional would stockpile $186,386 in her retirement plan over 10 years--if she keeps working.
Building up a 401(k) nest egg--if that's an option for you at your job--may be a hidden benefit of remaining in the workforce, both in the short and long term. The 401(k) contributions give you an immediate tax break by reducing your current adjusted gross income. "Every dollar that you put in will save you about 35 cents in federal taxes today," says Douglas Mollin, a certified financial planner with ProPlan in Elmhurst, N.Y. Over the long haul, the money you sock away into a 401(k) grows tax-deferred. Obviously, the more you put in over the years--and the earlier in your life that you do so--the larger your holdings will be upon retirement. And, if your employer matches all or part of your contribution, you're getting free money. "Think of it as an annual, tax-deferred bonus," says Mollin, "that you'd be forfeiting if you quit." Using that logic, our New York professional earns not $70,000 but $73,500 annually.
Meanwhile, women who step out of the paid workforce for an extended period may find that they're earning power has diminished. "It's especially troublesome for women reentering who are over age 40," says Bermont. Unless they update their skills, returnees may earn less now than they did 5, 10, even 15 years ago when they stopped working to raise their kids.
FINANCIAL JEOPARDY. Stay-at-home moms may even be putting themselves in financial jeopardy. It's risky to depend on a single wage-earner, given the constant threat of layoffs. And divorce and widowhood--two real possibilities--often put nonworking wives in a precarious position, says Hounsell, if they forgo all responsibility for their financial future.
The bottom line doesn't tell the whole story, of course. "For many women, the decision to work, or not, involves more than money," says Norman M. Berk, managing partner of Berk Patterson, a financial planning firm in Birmingham, Ala. Some parents don't believe in day care. "Do I really want someone else raising my child?" asks Denise Larkin. For this 33-year-old former international portfolio trader, the answer was no. Larkin quit shortly after the birth of her first child last year.
Other mothers feel they must take a more active parenting role--at some point in their child's life. Ellen Bartel, 42, recently quit her job as vice-president for institutional advancement at Alverno College in Milwaukee. While she has worked full-time since her children were born, Bartel feels that her two boys, aged 8 and 9, need her full-time now. "They're asking more complicated questions," she says. "And you only have a small window of opportunity when you can be influential in their lives."
Women who are committed to a career, on the other hand, often see their job--as many men do--as an integral part of their identity. And they may not be willing to give that up. Playing peek-a-boo and singing Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star all day long can be tedious--even for the most nurturing of parents.
The spouses of working mothers are apparently happier, too. In She Works/He Works: How Two-Income Families are Happier, Healthier, and Better Off ($24; Harper San Francisco), clinical psychologist Rosalind Barnett explains the findings of her three-year study, funded by the National Institute of Mental Health, of 300 families in the Boston area. "When the husband and wife both work, it puts less stress on the marriage," says Barnett. "They have more security, and more flexibility."
If only real life were so simple. But add a sick child or a trusted nanny who has just quit, and even the best-laid plans go awry. "I have to go out of town next week," says McCardel. "That'll really upset everyone's schedule." But she wouldn't think of giving up her job. "My work is challenging, and I need that," she says. Besides, that second income is keeping the family on track financially. The McCardels recently bought a new car and are trying to beef up their savings for the kids' college educations.
"We couldn't do that if I didn't work," says McCardel. "Two incomes give us more choices.

Glenn Beck lashes out at the Anti-Defamation League
Glenn Beck lashed out at the Anti-Defamation League over its condemnation of his outrageous smear of George Soros as a Nazi collaborator. Beck said that the criticism of his comments was part of a "Soros-started" "smear campaign" and directed his staff to find out "if there's any George Soros money that has gone to ADL."
ADL director calls Beck's smears of Soros as a collaborator "over the top" and "horrific"
Foxman calls Beck's attack "repugnant." On November 11, ADL national director Abraham Foxman released a statement [1] condemning Beck for claiming, during his [2] falsehood [3]-laden [4] three [5]-part [6] series [7] on Soros, that Soros collaborated [8] with the Nazis during the Holocaust. Foxman's statement said, in part, "Glenn Beck's description of George Soros' actions during the Holocaust is completely inappropriate, offensive and over the top. For a political commentator or entertainer to have the audacity to say -- inaccurately -- that there's a Jewish boy sending Jews to death camps, as part of a broader assault on Mr. Soros, that's horrific. While I, too, may disagree with many of Soros' views and analysis on the issues, to bring in this kind of innuendo about his past is unacceptable. To hold a young boy responsible for what was going on around him during the Holocaust as part of a larger effort to denigrate the man is repugnant."
Beck responds to criticism by attacking ADL
Beck on NY Times report about ADL criticism: "They will destroy themselves." On the November 12 edition of Premiere Radio Networks' The Glenn Beck Program, Beck responded to the criticism from the ADL, saying [9]:
After the program last night, some of the executives came down on the floor. And they said, "The New York Times is writing a story on you tomorrow." And I said, "OK. What a surprise that is." And they said, "And so it begins." And I said, "What is the angle?" They said, "Well, The New York Times is writing a story that you are an anti-Semite because the ADL, the Anti-Defamation League, has come out and made a statement against you that you are doing this and what you're saying is anti-Semitic about George Soros."
And they started planning on different things -- that how they should respond and everything else, and I said, "It's not worth it, guys. It's just not worth it. They will destroy themselves. Anybody who watches the show knows the truth."
And I know the point is that a lot of people don't watch the show, and the disinformation campaign is phenomenal. There's a story this morning in the London Guardian, and the source that they use to quote that I'm anti-Semitic is Media Matters. You mean the one that got the million-dollar check from George Soros to make sure that they got me off the air?
Beck claims letter shows Foxman contradicted himself. On his November 12 radio show, Beck cited [10] an October 22 letter [11] from Foxman that called Beck "a friend of the Jewish people, and a friend of Israel" as evidence that Foxman had contradicted himself. Similarly, Beck wrote in his November 12 subscriber newsletter:
ADL's massive flip flop on Beck
The Anti-Defamation League has launched an attack on Glenn, claiming that the special on George Soros was somehow anti-semitic. No one has been a bigger friend to the Jewish people and to Israel than Glenn. You'd think the ADL knew that - oh wait, they did! And they made that especially clear in a letter PRAISING Glenn for his support of Jewish people and of Israel. That letter of praise, from ADL's National Director Abe Foxman, was written waaaaay back on October 22nd - OF THIS YEAR! Looks like the ADL was for Glenn Beck before they were against him. Glenn explains more on the flip flop on radio today.
Beck claims ADL's condemnation is part of a "Soros-started" "smear campaign." Discussing a November 11 New York Times story [12] on the ADL's criticism of him, Beck said [10] on his November 12 show that Foxman came "out against me in The New York Times today, saying that I'm an anti-Semite and that anti-Semitic things were said on my show this week. And now they are starting a smear campaign -- this is all Soros-started -- starting a smear campaign against me because I'm anti-Semitic. I'm sorry, but I think I have a pretty darn clear record on being a friend to the Jews."
Beck directs staff to find out "if there's any George Soros money that has gone to ADL." Later in the show, Beck said [13] to his staff, "You know what? Could you do me a favor? Just check on the amount of money Open Society" -- a reference to Soros' philanthropic foundations [14] -- "has given ADL. See if there's any money exchanging hands here. See if there's any George Soros money that has gone to ADL."
Beck again repeats smears and falsehoods about Soros
Beck repeats the falsehood that Soros "confiscat[ed] the goods and lands of Jews." On his November 12 radio show, Beck again made [15] the false accusation [3] that Soros "confiscat[ed] the goods and the lands of Jews as a 14-year-old boy as they went to their death."
Beck on Soros: "Jews in Israel don't consider him Jewish." Beck also claimed on his radio show that he does not believe that "Jews control both the elites and the masses" or that they are "responsible" for "the speculative excesses of capitalism." Beck said [16] the fact that Soros is Jewish is "irrelevant" and went on to state that the "Jews in Israel don't consider him Jewish. He may have been born Jewish, but that's it. That's it. That's it. It's irrelevant. He is anti-Israel. Period." Co-host Pat Gray added, "He's probably anti-Jewish."

Recoil Management: Take The "Ouch" Out Of Shooting
Since that time Knoxx has joined with Blackhawk, and now the stocks are sold through them. They have a lot of different styles now, and the list of the firearms they fit is getting longer. They have stocks for pump shotguns also. The Axiom stock on the Howa is a Knoxx/ Blackhawk stock but in a slightly different configuration.
The Compstock: A cutaway view of the recoil reduction system.
Recently I saw that they had come out with a thumbhole stock with double recoil reducing features built into the wrist of the stock instead of the butt. I ordered one from Blackhawk to fit my Remington LTR in .308. This particular rifle was capable of consistent groups under one half MOA with match ammunition. It took me about five minutes to mount the stock on the rifle. I pulled out a box of the same match ammunition I had previously used in testing and sat down at the bench. I shot a string of four shots. The recoil was reduced quite a bit, but I felt the Compstock recoil reduction was better. I decided to put the rifle down for a few days and give it another try later. The stock is designed to free float the barrel and give plenty of room for extra cooling.
Tim Miller of Lucy Creek Arms trying out the new Compstock on the .300 H&H.
After a week or so I cleaned the rifle again and started anew. I checked the mounting to make sure everything was tight. This time the recoil seemed less but my groups were up around a MOA. It very well may have been my shooting and the one half MOA increase is really not that bad. This stock is actually two pieces that fit together in the grip area (see photo). The action rides on the front piece and slides ever so slightly to the rear when fired. There is a storage area under the butt pad and it has interchangeable rubber grips. I found the use of the Axiom helped me get back on target quicker than with the factory stock.
Overall I give the Compstock an A+ and the Axiom Thumbhole stock an A- in their ability to reduce recoil. The stocks are very comfortable to use. If you are stock crawler, and by that I mean a person who has to have his eye right up to the scope, these stocks are not for you. You need to keep a good eye relief distance. When the rifle is fired, there is a slight compression of the stock. The amount is governed by the load being shot. For me this was not a real consideration and I did not even notice it. The stocks do not eliminate recoil, but they absorb quite a bit and what you do feel has been slowed down which makes it more like a gentle push.
They do sell a version with full aluminum bedding. I think I will try that setup next to see if it could maintain or improve the accuracy of one of my better shooting rifles. I will keep you informed.

Say Goodbye to Rest Stops
"Across the country, rest areas [...] have been losing a long-fought battle to commercial alternatives, super-sized stops with eight blends of caffeine, free wifi, burgers, and gas. Traditional rest areas cost money to staff and maintain, and aside from the odd vending machine, don't generate any direct revenue; Virginia expects to save $9 million (much of which has gone to minority- and female-owned maintenance contractors) by not maintaining these buildings."
Closures are spreading across the country:
"Last year, Louisiana closed 24 of its 34 stops, and Vermont has already shuttered four this year. In April, Wisconsin stopped staffing its welcome centers."
The article also highlights how rest stops have created and reflected a sense of place wherever they are built, from teepees in Oklahoma to oil rigs in Texas.

Suzuki scores come-from-behind TKO over Yamamoto
By Joe Koizumi
Japan's #4 lightweight Yuhei Suzuki (13-3, 10 KOs), 135, came off the canvas in the opening session, fought back hard and finally dropped Koji Yamamoto (15-9-2, 2 KOs), 135, twice and scored a come-from-behind stoppage at 2:49 of the eighth and final round on Sunday in Amagasaki, Japan. Suzuki had failed to win the national 135-pound belt from game and gutsy Yoshitaka Kato via close but unanimous decision in Tokyo this February. The underdog's southpaw left floored Suzuki on the seat of trunks and the prefight favorite barely lasted the crisis in the first canto. The upright stylist Suzuki, however, connected with fast combinations to the face and midsection of the early starter, who gradually slowed down but occasionally caught the local favorite with his long southpaw lefts to the button. The final session witnessed Suzuki's last surge that had the fading foe on the deck twice, when the referee didn't bother to call a halt despite only eleven seconds remaining in the final stanza.
Unbeaten prospect, JBC#12 super-light Shohei Okuda (9-0, 4 KOs), 139, had a tough time coping with a tricky Thailander named Eaknampol Mor. Krungthepthonburi (17-9-1, only one KO), 139, but pounded out a unanimous decision (77-74, 79-92, 79-73) over eight.

Your CP Giving at Work
By Karen Willoughby EDITOR'S NOTE: Sunday, April 14, was Cooperative Program Sunday in the Southern Baptist Convention, highlighting the SBC channel of support for state, national and international missions and ministries. MEMPHIS, Tenn. (BP) -- M.O.
by Erin Roach NASHVILLE (BP) -- The 1% Challenge for increased Cooperative Program giving has been a surprising success, Frank Page, president of the Southern Baptist Convention's Executive Committee, said Feb. 18. Page had asked the convention's 45,000 churches to consider a 1 percent-of-budget increase in Cooperative Program giving, which would add $100 million to the funding stream for Southern Baptist missions and ministries.
By David Lee, BCM/D Executive Director I have had a very productive day! I was part of sharing the Gospel to a village in the Amazon jungle. I helped to start a new church in a New England town where there is little evangelical witness.
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (BP) -- Year-to-date contributions to Southern Baptist national and international missions and ministries received by the SBC Executive Committee are $174,983,253.81, or 2.63 percent above the year-to-date budgeted goal, and 0.29 percent ahead of contributions received during the same time frame last year, according to a news release from SBC Executive Committee President and Chief Executive Officer Frank S. Page.
By Rolando Castro, BCM/D Missionary for Church Planting/Evangelism/Language Churches/Hispanic Church Development From my earliest days as a church planter, the concept of multiplication has been a natural part of who I am and what I do. Some scholars call this component our "DNA." This DNA has not always been present in my life. It needed to be cultivated and rehearsed, in order to become a reality.
By Page Brooks NEW ORLEANS (BP)--God has allowed me the privilege of serving three church plants in 15 years of ministry. I have served in various roles in these, from staff pastor to lead pastor. While all of the church plants have given to the Cooperative Program (CP) in varying amounts, promotion of the CP has been a constant goal (and joy) for our church members.

Record closing high for US shares
Shares on Wall Street picked up on Tuesday to a new all-time high as investors bet that the US central bank would continue supporting the economy.
Federal Reserve officials encouraged investors to think the bank would continue to support the economy with its bond-buying programme, something some feared it would ease back on.
Fed chief Ben Bernanke is giving testimony before Congress on Wednesday.
The Dow Jones rose 0.34% to 15,387.58 to a record close.
The S&P 500 index crept up 0.17% to 1,669.16, also a record.
The tech-heavy Nasdaq rose 0.16% to 3,502.12 , its highest close since October 2000.
Gainers included Home Depot, the world's largest home improvement chain.
It rose more than 2% after it increased its profit forecast, helped by the continuing recovery in the US housing market.
JPMorgan also gained 1.4% after the bank's chief executive, Jamie Dimon, won a shareholder vote to keep hin in place as chairman for another year.
Apple shares showed little reaction after its chief executive, Tim Cook, testified before a critical Congress after a US Senate report on the company's offshore tax structure.
It said the iPhone maker had kept billions of dollars in profits in Irish subsidiaries to reduce its tax bill, something the company denied.
Apple shares fell 0.7 %.
The New York Federal Reserve president, William Dudley, said he could not be sure whether policymakers would either reduce or increase the amount of purchases, because of the "uncertain" economic outlook.
The US central bank has been buying $85bn worth of bonds a month, something that has helped to keep share prices attractive to investors as returns on other investments, such as bonds, have remained weak.
The minutes of the Federal Reserve's latest policy-setting meeting will be released on Wednesday afternoon.

Feminism | Posted by Erica Lee on 08/2/2010
Banish Girl Hate Today
I'll admit it: I used to be a hater. After I hit 13, for whatever reason, I started to really, really dislike other girls. I was constantly jealous of them, hated when they talked to my array of (oftentimes disgusting/unworthy) boyfriends and basically wanted nothing to do with anyone with breasts who was outside my usual social circle. I just didn't like them.
Or so I thought.
Actually, now I see I was brainwashed by society into being jealous of them.
Now, 10 years later, I know that most of my "hatred" for the other (beautiful, smart, talented) ladies around me was actually jealousy. Insecurity. A byproduct of a society that was becoming hypersexualized & overly focused on outward appearances.
So yes, I am a victim. And so is every other woman who is alive in America now.
Although I don't claim to be an expert, here is my advice for ways women today can BANISH GIRL HATE!
1. Work on yourself. I'll try to be as non-cheesy as possible here: You absolutely positively have to love yourself before you can love other women. If you're constantly putting yourself down for your "fat thighs" or your "frizzy hair," you will automatically notice those flaws in other women (or notice that they don't have those things—making yourself feel bad in comparison!) It's so important to accept things about yourself so that you can accept them about others. Learn to be open-minded, loving & accepting toward yourself first.
2. Befriend both an underdog AND someone "out of your league." I used only look for friends who I thought were uglier than me. No joke. I think it's very important to befriend women from all realms. Befriend someone you feel is very attractive. Befriend someone from a different race or culture. Befriend someone all the guys at school pick on (trust me, she's probably way cooler than any of the girls the guys hit on). As soon as you do this, you'll quickly realize how many common insecurities (& secret wishes!) all women share.
3. Say NO to petty competition. Women are constantly in competition about so many things, many of which they have little to no control over; the size of their breasts, the color of their skin, the huge birth make on their arm. So try your hardest to remember that everyone is feeling the same stress to compete. Then, forget about the competition entirely–& actively show that you are not participating. Nix the beauty pageants, boycott companies that promote a certain stereotype, start a "positive body image" group at school or simply do something "outside the norm" just because you like it, not because society says it's "hot."
I'm more confident with myself now, but I still get upset when I think about all the years I wasted hating on hot, intelligent women who—instead of being my enemies—could've actually been some good friends.
Start banishing girl hate in your life today!

I absolutely love this post. Internal misogyny is just as detrimental, if not MORE so, to the feminist movement than misogyny coming from males. The patriarchy has set up a divide and conquer method to keep those oppressed down, and we need to stop hate and call it out when we recognize it. Call your friends out for "slut shaming," and call them out for calling girls "stuck up prudes." Let people know that the "comparison game" is a game that nobody wins. Spread the word!
Roni @ at 3:45 pm, August 2nd, 2010
This is a really interesting post. There's definitely too much competition and "girl hate" around. I've never really been like that, but I know a ton of girls who are. I agree with you completely, and great post!
Zoe @ at 5:11 pm, August 2nd, 2010
This is a really important thing to address. I do the same thing and I know lots of other girls who do too. Now, I try to catch myself when I'm doing it and analyze why I'm hating on other girls. It's usually because I think they're prettier than me and therefore, a threat. Once I realize I'm just being insecure, I try to push it out of my brain and be friendly instead

We are all guilty of "hating" or jealousy as some point in our lives and I agree that most of those feelings have to do with what we are lacking more than it has to do with another person's inadequacy. Whenever I find myself hating or saying snarky things about another female, I stop and force myself to say something I really admire about them and that helps me to see what I may be lacking in myself. Great post Erica!
Samuel W. @ at 12:29 pm, August 3rd, 2010
Insane. People start feeling this practically unconsciously when they hit a certain age! That's what years of being brainwashed'll do to ya. Thank god I've seemingly, and I don't say this out of arrogance, avoided such pitfalls thus far, along with plenty of other guys like me, but girls seem to be really swallowing this 'cattiness' thing the media keeps going on and on about when they hit that age. And most often, they're just unconsciously swallowing, due to years of conditioning, what the world has told them they should do.
K8 AH @ at 4:57 pm, August 6th, 2010
I love this post!!! It is true getting to know yourself really well and becoming comfortable with yourself will go a long way in turning off that jealousy impulse. Figure out why you admire someone so much that it makes you hate them, then tell that person why you admire them. Building others up instead of tearing them down goes a long way towards good personal self esteem.
Jake @ at 5:00 pm, October 7th, 2010
…I somewhat hate guys. I dunno, I'm being kinda extreme. I know it's just as wrong…

Born and raised in Houston, Reginald Gibbons earned his BA in Spanish and Portuguese from Princeton University, and both his MA in English and creative writing and his PhD in comparative literature from Stanford University.
Gibbons is the author of more than half a dozen collections of poetry, including Sparrow: New and Selected Poems (1997), winner of the Balcones Poetry Prize, and Creatures of a Day (2008), finalist for the National Book Award. In a 2008 interview, Gibbons describes Creatures of a Day as "a book about chance encounters, the testing of one's sense of the world that is produced by encounters with other people," a depiction that speaks to one of Gibbons's major concerns, that of poetry's role in the lives of others. Over the course of his career, Gibbons has focused increasingly on social and political injustice, and the power and responsibility that writers have to engage their society...

While not every expert is convinced that a dedicated eye cream is any more effective than a good facial moisturizer, others note that their composition and ingredients can be a boost for the skin around the eyes as that tends to show the effects of aging sooner than other parts of the face.Eye Creams for Dark Circles
While most skin care professionals say that cosmetic or laser surgery is the best way to get rid of chronic dark circles, eye creams designed to treat that condition can lighten the effect. Look for creams with ingredients such as vitamin K, kojic acid niacinamide (vitamin B3), sodium ascorbate (vitamin C) and hydroquinone.Eye Creams for Puffiness
Puffy eyes can be caused by a number of things, most of which can be treated with a few simple at-home remedies. For more chronic problems, eye creams containing caffeine or retinol can offer some relief, as can eye gels, which tend to feel cooling.
Today's drugstore and department store shelves are overflowing with eye creams that promise to do everything from deflate puffiness and brighten dark circles to erase fine lines. But is it just marketing hype? It depends who you ask. Some experts say you can just use your regular facial moisturizer around your eyes; separate eye creams aren't necessary. Other experts say eye creams really are different from facial moisturizers. For example, In a WebMD article by Sonya Collins, dermatologist Patricia Farris notes that eye creams tend to be thicker, with more oil in them and special active ingredients to treat the thinner, drier, quicker-to-age skin around the eyes.
What about dark circles and puffiness? Again, opinions differ. Collins says that some studies report that caffeine can help circulation, and that could reduce puffiness – although cold temperatures have been shown to have similar effects, prompting some consumers to store their eye cream in the refrigerator. For dark circles, she adds, kojic acid and niacinamide (vitamin B3) can help lighten them, while sodium ascorbate (vitamin C) can thicken the skin and make dark circles less noticeable.
Ultimately, there's no conclusive evidence that these treatments are effective, but there's no evidence to the contrary, either. Caffeine, vitamin K and kojic acid aren't harmful in any way, so experts say you can safely use eye creams that contain these ingredients. That said, while many products can diminish the appearance of dark circles and puffiness, they aren't a cure-all. For complete eradication of these problems, skin-care professionals suggest cosmetic corrective procedures or surgery.
In reviews, Hundreds of users swear by Origins GinZing Refreshing Eye Cream (Est. $35 for 0.5 oz.). It earns the most reviews at Sephora.com, where more than 1,740 users contribute to a rating of 3.9 stars out of 5, with nearly 800 reviewers giving it a perfect 5-star rating. Containing coffee beans, panax ginseng, and magnolia extract, along with natural optic brighteners, Origins GinZing claims to reduce dark circles, under-eye bags, and dullness. This eye cream has a slight, shimmery tint designed to provide an instant brightening effect, which some users find too shimmery but most love (even some who were initially caught off-guard upon realizing that it's not clear).
Users say Origins GinZing is hydrating, keeping the sensitive under-eye area moisturized throughout the day. Editors at RealSimple.com recommend Origins GinZing for its brightening effects, noting that testers say they appreciate the slight iridescence that masks under-eye darkness. Editors at Cosmopolitan.com say the combination of coffee beans, ginseng, and magnolia extract works quickly to help tighten skin in the eye area, reduce puffiness, and brighten dark circles.
A few users point out that because this eye cream is stored in a jar, it tends to dry out and lose its creamy texture over time. At PaulasChoice.com, beauty expert Paula Begoun gives Origins GinZing Refreshing Eye Cream a middling score of 2 stars out of 5 for precisely this reason, noting that it does contain some beneficial skin ingredients for the eye area, but because of the less-than-ideal packaging, these helpful ingredients won't pack their full punch throughout the lifespan of the product.
If you don't mind spending a bit more, Clarins Super Restorative Total Eye Concentrate (Est. $60 for 0.5 oz.) is also worth considering. Not only does it moisturize without stinging the delicate skin around the eyes (a test that many eye creams flunk), but users say it also really delivers on its promises: Skin looks smoother, tighter and brighter. This Clarins eye cream gets most of its rave reviews from women over 35, although plenty of younger users like it, too. It contains caffeine, which may help de-puff eyes, and users say it plays nicely under makeup -- no gumming up their concealer or making their eye makeup slide around. It's fragrance-free, eliminating a common source of irritation.
However, Begoun again gives Clarins Super Restorative Total Eye Concentrate a rating of just 2 stars out of 5, noting that while it moisturizes the skin, it will only temporarily reduce the appearance of wrinkles. She says it's not what she'd consider a cutting-edge formula, but "it will make skin look smoother and feel softer."
More than 115 users review Clarins Super Restorative Total Eye Concentrate at Amazon.com, where it earns a rating of 4.1 stars out of 5. Like most eye creams, it receives mixed feedback, although most users are pleased with their results, with some saying that it minimizes the look of fine lines and reduces puffiness. Others, however, say they noticed no difference after a few weeks of use and that they've had better results from products that cost less.
Altogether, more than 1,000 users have reviewed Benefit Cosmetics It's Potent! Eye Cream (Est. $45) at Ulta.com and Sephora.com, and it earns ratings of 4.1 stars and 3.9 stars out of 5, respectively. Editors at TotalBeauty.com name It's Potent! as one of the top 14 eye creams, based on its user rating of 8.8 out of 10. Reviewers say that as its name suggests, It's Potent! is rich, thick and creamy, and it takes a small amount of cream for each application to get results.
It's Potent! claims to fade dark circles and help to smooth fine lines, and it contains peptides that work to promote skin tightness and firmness. With a blend of hydrating botanical extracts, users say It's Potent! is nourishing and moisturizing. It absorbs quickly, and many users say it works well as an under-eye moisturizer when applied under makeup, and it won't cause makeup to run.
Opinions are mixed on whether it really diminishes fine lines, and we did read a few isolated complaints about It's Potent irritating some users' skin, causing a slight stinging sensation or increased puffiness – possibly due to a sensitivity or allergy to one or more ingredients. Begoun gives It's Potent! a rating of 2 stars out of a possible 5, noting that it contains a film-forming agent that "can make skin feel smoother and temporarily tighter, but it also puts your skin at risk of irritation." Most users, however, report no negative effects and many say their under-eye circles are noticeably lighter with continued use. Many users point out that a little bit of this eye cream goes a long way, and a 0.5-ounce jar can last as long as six to eight months with daily use.
If you're looking for a low-cost product that offers results comparable to that of pricey beauty brands, users say RoC Multi Correxion 5-in-1 Eye Cream (Est. $15 for 0.5 oz.) gets the job done. A multi-function eye cream that claims to moisturize the sensitive skin around the eyes to reduce the signs of aging, reduce dark circles and puffiness, improve skin tone and eradicate dullness, RoC Multi Correxion 5-in-1 Eye Cream earns praise from more than 700 users posting feedback to Amazon.com, where it earns a rating of 4.2 stars out of 5. About 8 in 10 users give it a 4-star or better rating, with most users praising its lightweight texture and ability to fight skin discoloration, including both dark circles and brown spots, which can occur as a result of sun exposure or aging.
While RoC claims it will reduce the appearance of dark circles and puffiness in about four weeks of consistent use, several reviewers say they see results in as little as one to two weeks – and a few note that they started using this product on a recommendation from a dermatologist. Some say they've used pricier eye creams and haven't gotten results like they achieve with RoC Multi-Correxion 5-in-1 Eye Cream. As with many eye creams, however, a few users report adverse reactions such as redness, stinging, or rashes after using this product, so it's a good idea to test a small area of skin before using any eye cream.

Monday July 23rd, 2012 4:25pm
I'm not even exaggerating this. Last night after the Nike event, we met up with Anthony Kelly, Kyle Hartzell, Josh Rachman and Andrew Wasik at Duke's. They literally just got done telling us how they spent their afternoon doing pullups, pushups and situps at a local playground. Then they launched into how crazy we were to be climbing Diamond Head on Thursday.
This carried over Thursday morning when we caught up with Paul Rabil and Kelly Berger at the pool: two of the most hard-core fitness freaks in the game. The consensus was essentially that we were about to climb Mt. Everest.
Now, truth be told, A-Train was telling us some ridiculous stories about Jarett Park and Steve Holmes living off the land before the Hawaii Invitational two years ago and how they really pushed their luck out there. (And speaking of Kelly, he has a ridiculous Macho Man Randy Savage costume in the works. Dude went ALL OUT on this. Can't wait to see it.)
But in the end when Thursday morning rolled around, myself and Joe Sweeney, Brett Queener and his girlfriend Carly and Tia and Cort Kim decided to give it a whirl. Best I can say is that it was definitely worth it.
We were going to try to conspire to make it out to be some ridiculously rugged hike, requiring a local Hawaiian sherpa and fighting off mountain lions and lava pits, but if I did that I'd get called out in the comments. Truth be told, it wasn't that challenging. We did it in about 40 minutes. Check out some of the pics below. But it was pretty cool.
Just about everyone rolls in today so it sounds like Happy Hour's at Lulu's before a tournament event at Tiki's. Friday brings some afternoon friendlies at 3 p.m., for the big teams Crease Monkeys, Wimmer and the Iroquois, while the Iroquois will also do a morning clinic for some local Hawaiian kids.
Hearing Cody Jamieson isn't going to make it for the Iroquois, which is too bad. As everyone here says, no one's definite until they land on the island.
Saturday, Wimmer plays at 10 and noon, Crease Monkeys at 11 and 1 and the Iroquois at noon and then 4, when they'll take on "the world" in an exhibition. I'll get more details on that, but it's essentially going to be a group of other World Games players against the Nationals. Should be pretty cool.
Will check back Friday after the Nike clinic with some more details once the tournament gets going.
Pretty sweet view of Honolulu from the top of Diamond Head. That big patch of green will be lax central Friday-Sunday.
Amazing how blue the water is out here.
Queener says he wants to come back and challenge anyone to beat him up the mountain. He thinks he can do it in 23 minutes. I saw a pretty fit couple that had run up and back and they said they did the whole thing in 38 minutes, which is pretty impressive. I don't think BQ will find any takers since things get rolling Friday.
Sunset shot, since I got so much crap for posting these from Lake Placid.
And another. We'll be all over the lax pics Friday-Sunday. But I figured it would be worth it to give you some local flavor before the tournament started.

12' garage work bench surface ideas?
I'm building a 12' long work bench at the back of my garage. I just finished the drywall, mud and tape, and put a coat of primer on the walls for a 'clean' look to the garage. I was able to find some good quality white kitchen cabinets on Kijiji to build my workbench out of. I've already hung the upper cabinets.
For the lowers, I plan on beefing up the cabinets by building a 2x4 frame on the inside of the cabinet (where I can to keep it clean looking on the outside), or on the outside if I have to (i.e., on the fronts of the cabinets I may have to put the 2x4 frame on the outside because the cabinet drawers don't give any room to hide the 2x4's inside the cabinet). Either way, the workbench surface will be supported by the 2x4 frame, and not just merely the cabinets. I tend to go overkill on things like this, so I'm sure the frame will be solid.
Where I need help is for the workbench surface, and any coatings I should be placing on it (depending on the type of surface I install). I've searched google for some ideas, but still don't know what will be best for a strong surface, yet look nice too.
I'd love to hear your ideas. The cabinets may be slightly away from the drywall as the foundation wall sticks out a bit, so the counter top will be slightly more than the standard kitchen counter top depth of 25 1/2". Assume it will be about 27" deep, and 144" wide.
About a 4' stretch of the wall in the middle of the bench juts out 5 1/2". There will be no base cabinets under this area (I'll put my compressor, stool, etc. here). For the workbench, I'll just notch out this area.
Thanks in advance for your tips, ideas and advice!
I just build a 2 X 4 frame (like your building a deck) and set it up on top of the cabinets just like you would install a countertop. You can screw the back 2 X 4 to the studs. Add 3/4" plywood, for a back splash just stand up a 2 X 4 on end if you want. Any porch and deck paint would be tough and could be cleaned and touched up easly.
Tempered hardboard on top of plywood makes a good surface.
I like the tempered hardboard idea on kraft paper. In my google search, someone recommended having the sides around the workbench 1/4" higher so that you can place the custom fitted hardboard inside, or 1/2" higher and cut two pieces of hardboard to fit inside so you can just exchange the two surfaces quickly when the old hardboard surface needs to be replaced.
It's probably worth a trip to a building store to see what materials they have in stock and get some more ideas.
Does hardboard have to be treated with anything?
Butcher block top, available at the Swedish store for a reasonable price per slab, very durable and looks great.
Mine is 2 layers of 3/4 plywood laminated together with a 1/4 tempered masonite cap. Then I have a 3/4"x 2-1/2" face board across the front. I built my own cabinets with 3/4 plywood sides which are plenty strong for support. Instead of taking up extra space with 2x4s, I'd cut some 3/4" plywood for extra support if you need it. I'd screw a 2x4 cleat to the wall behind the cabinet to rest the back of the counter top on.
I like the idea of the 2x4 cleat. I was originally thinking I wanted the 2x4's to transfer the weight directly to the concrete floor, but the cleat will do the same thing, just through the studs to the foundation wall.
I'm going to look into the idea of installing the face and side boards 1/4" or 1/2" proud so that I can 'drop in' one or two 1/4" sheets of hardboard. If it's not going to work well, I won't bother doing it. If that's the case, what do you recommend I do at the seam between the two hardboards since it's a nearly 12' long countertop?
I'm also looking at dropping a sink into the workbench as well. This may throw a monkey wrench into my plan of having the removable hardboard surface. I guess I could always build a 2x4 proud frame around the sink, on which the sink would sit, then the hardboard would have a large square cut out in the middle where it would fit around the sink 2x4 frame.
If all of this happens, I'll be sure to post some pictures of how it turns out. :)
A lot depends on what you plan to do on that bench.....if beating the bejesus out of an axle is in the equation along with liberal doses of oil and grease....I would avoid the butcher block idea.....
Your on the right track with your frame....next....a heavy dense surface is good. 2 Layers of 3/4" plywood works well.
I have 3 different types of counter tops.....
On my woodworking side....particle board and melamine
On my general hangout/misc task side....2x6's layed flat with 3/4" plywood on top of that.....and as soon as I finish the house addition, I'll be toping that with a sheet of 1/8" steel covered with 18g stainless.
And for my weekend grilling/hanging out with the guys/kids doing homework.....this....
Love the hanging out with guys 'workbench'. :)
I guess that's a great question. What will I be doing on it? Although I do some DIY car repairs, my work is usually limited to what I can do in the driveway and I don't usually have a need to use a workbench for my automotive work. The workbench will be used for some general/misc tasks, including some sitting and drafting, but mostly for woodworking. Most of my tools are on stands of their own, so the workbench will be used for some small general woodworking tasks. I don't have an assembly/work table yet, or a laminating table, so I'll be using the workbench for this sort of work for now (for smaller pieces). I will have a vice on it, so I'll make sure that is well supported.
How do you find the melamine surface to work on? Home Depot also had a 'white hardboard', but I'd be afraid of nicks and scratches showing too quickly.
If you are going to be doing wet or chemical things you might look into lab surface materials from a scientific supply catalog.
Will this be the only bench in the shop? I have a little bit of everything in mine -- plywood, butcher block and a few different thicknesses of steel. If I had one 12' long bench, I think I might go for 8' of ply/hardboard or butcher block -- and then 4' of steel. There are times when you want to pound hard on something and also times when you know there's going to be fluids spilling out. Steel is great for that kind of work.
Butcher block:
More butcher block:
Inch-thick steel:
One other thought: On this butcher block bench, there's a sheet of 1/4" neoprene where I do most of my work. It protects the wood and is also a very flat and uniform surface.
All in all, I've got ten work surfaces inside of a two-car garage. Two of them fold down from the wall when the car is out.
6 Attachment(s)
For now, this is the only workbench I have. I have one lower cabinet left which I'll build a top for, but it will only be a small surface for my drill press. Once I get my all my tools positioned where I want them, I'll see how much room I have left over for another work bench. I'll likely need something for assembling my woodworking projects, so it will likely be a butcher block surface.
Anyways, here's the pictures of my workbench. I ended up using 3/4" ply with 1/4" tempered hardboard on top. The edges of the bench were notched proud, so that the ply and hardboard sat inside. The ply is screwed down, while the hardboard is stuck down with double sided carpet tape in case I ever want to replace the surface.
If I were to do it again, I wouldn't do it this way. It was a pain getting all the various pieces notched perfectly so that the hardboard surface wasn't too low or too high.
I haven't put legs on it yet. As someone posted earlier the cabinets are pretty strong in themselves and I don't think I'll need to add the 2x4 legs at the front of the cabinets. I will be an easy fix if I find I need them though.
I still may have to put toe kick boards in place and possibly add supports under the lower cabinets if I'm going to be storing lots of heavy items. I was planning on doing a 2x4 boarder along the back side of the bench against the wall, but I'm debating that one right now.
The lower that only has bottom doors and no drawers will be for a possible future sink, but I'll have to re-think the surface to prevent water damage.
Here are some pics of how it looks:
Would that be a 1970 911S model?

[edit] Overview
The term "gasser" refers to a specific class of drag racing cars.
[edit] Gasser photos
Typical Gasser car from the 1960's. This 1952 Henry J was built and raced in the 1960's. It is now restored and raced occasionally.
A pair of Henry J drag cars at a Nostalgia event in March 2011.
[edit] Genesis of the term "gasser"
In the '40s and '50s, the Gas class was instituted to allow the guys with modified motors or engine swaps a class to run in. I used to run a '48 Ford with a modified '51 Mercury flathead in F/Gas. These were still fully functional, street legal cars with full interiors. I also used to yank the back seat out and run in C/Altered. One of the problems with hotter cars in that era was that there were no good tires. Even the recaps made into slicks of the time were capped with hard rubber on truck tire carcasses that wouldn't wrinkle up or hook up. They were better than treaded street tires, but not by much.
The crafty hot rodders did the only thing they could do and began raising the motors up in the frames to get more weight transfer to the rear of the car on launch. Check out photos of Fuel Altereds of the era. As with most things, this got out of hand, so NHRA put a limit of 24" from the front crankshaft centerline to the ground. Raising the front of the car did the same thing, transferring weight to the rear on launch in an effort to gain some traction. I love to watch some of the old videos with the fuel rails and altereds smokin' the tires the whole length of the quarter mile. As tire technology improved, the nose-up attitude disappeared into history.
[edit] Evolution of the term over the years
The term "Gasser" is a vulgarization of NHRA's classification that was originally "Gas Coupe/Sedan".
The main purpose of this classification was to have a place to race cars with seriously modified engines. Virtually anything was legal, right up to supercharging, but the cardinal rule was that the distance of the number one spark plug hole to the spindle where the wheel mounted had to be within ten percent of the wheelbase. That is, if the car has a 100-inch wheelbase, the #1 spark plug could legally be no farther back than ten inches behind the center line of the front spindle.
Gassers had to have all their fenders mounted basically unaltered, but bumpers could be removed. Gas Coupe/Sedans were classified by weighing the car and dividing the weight by the engine displacement. In the beginning, an "A"-class car was 0-9 pounds per cubic inch, a "B" was 9-11, a "C" was 11, and "D" Gas was 13 and up. The following year, an "E" class was added for cars with over 14.6 pounds per cubic inch. Flathead and inline six-cylinder cars (there were no V-6's back then) were kept separate, so they didn't have to compete directly with the OHV V8's. There was one combined "Gas" class for Flatheads and inline 6's.
The next step up was "Altered" or "Roadster" class, (depending on whether the car had a top) which allowed a 25-percent engine setback. "Altereds" and "Roadsters" also could move the body back on the frame, and run without fenders. No interior was required. These were race-only cars.
"Street Roadsters" had the same basic rules as Gassers, but the fender rule was more flexible at times. It changed periodically, but motorcycle fenders were allowed in lieu of stock fenders up front, at some point. It was a "ten-percent engine-setback" rule class, like the Gas Coupe/Sedans.
In the late '50s guys returning from military duty in Korea began experimenting with GMC Roots type blowers adapted from Detroit Diesels they had wrenched in the military to the new V8s coming out of Detroit and began out running normally aspirated gas coupes and sedans. To make things more fair NHRA created a separate class for the supercharged cars and designated them with an S; A/GS, B/GS, C/GS etc. These cars had similar weight breaks to unblown classes to identify qualifying cars. Interestingly, this is the only class of cars that have been singled out with a supercharged identifier.
By the mid '60s the Gasser classes had morphed into pretty much a pre-war Willys class since the cars fit the class specifications almost perfectly. They were feather light, had reasonably strong ladder frames, accepted the biggest Hemi with surprisingly little work and had 102" to 104" wheelbases which just fit the 100" minimum NHRA limit. Ford Anglias, Prefects and a few other English cars were cleaning the Willys' clocks in match races but couldn't compete in NHRA events due to their sub-100" wheelbases. IHRA and AHRA began allowing them in so NHRA had to capitulate and open the Gas classes to the small English cars which instantly made the Willys less competitive.
However this dominance was short lived when racers started using the new Pony cars (Mustangs, Camaros, etc.) which had far superior aerodynamics. Funny thing is this conversion to modern cars killed the fan enthusiasm for the Gassers since instead of being Willys and Anglia that were smoking and spinning wildly from side rail to side rail and doing wheelstands at launch, the Gas class race cars were boring every-day door slammers. To spark fan interest in the modern Gassers again, NHRA and racers began experimenting with the cars by hollowing out inner body panels, moving the bodies back/front and rear axles WAY forward and engines WAY backward morphing them into the Factory Experimental or FX classes. Of course it was a short journey from there to the present day Fuel Coupes, aka Funny Cars. So actually the amazing Gassers didn't die out, instead they simply kept up with the times becoming what the rules dictated to be competitive.
