First Alert: Cold front leaves behind cool May day
The StormTRACK Weather team issued a First Alert for high winds, hazy skies, and cool temperatures Tuesday morning.
A strong cold front backed into the region this morning, the second cold front in as many days.
Today's cold front brought high winds, and kicked up dust. Winds gusted to 50 mph along west mountain slopes through the morning. The winds moved in from the northeast, and weakened into the early afternoon. Through the afternoon expect gusts in the low to mid 30s, with highest winds still in West El Paso.
The cold front also brought extremely cool air for May. Today the forecast high in El Paso is only 68 degrees and 68 degrees in Las Cruces. Tonight temperatures will drop to the low to mid 40s, with wind chills in the upper 30s possible.
The well below average temperatures will linger Wednesday and Thursday as the area attempts to warm up. Winds will be lighter by late today and into Wednesday with just breezy conditions Wednesday.

What about "The Burner, Mary Turner", and Frazer Smith?
Valentine's Day 1987 was the day "Real Radio" died.
#2 Jun 19, 2009
"Because his show is pretty damn good, and has helped propel the station to its status as one of the highest-rated stations in town ..."
You could say helped but if KABC hired Rush, which they had first dibs at, instead of KFI guess who would be No. 1?
#3 Jun 19, 2009
Radio may have died in '87 but it is coming back to life with The Sound 100.3. This is radio like it used to be, the way I remember FM. Thank you to The Sound for this look back at KMET and for bringing real music back to FM radio!
#5 Jun 19, 2009
I always believed that it was a big mistake when KMET, THE MIGHY MET went silent and was replaced by the WAVE. Sure, KLOS is still around and for the most part, remains true to its roots. But we also lost other stations like KWST (otherwise known as KWEST). KMET was the BEST of the BEST.
#6 Jun 19, 2009
I do not recall what station Mary Turner was on, however FRAZER SMITH was on KLOS in the mornings. That was always a great show. On New Years Day, he used to do his own version of the Rose Parade using the T.V. picture of KTLA channel 5. He would make fun of every band and float as well as all of the other parade entries.
#8 Jun 19, 2009
Same recycled shyt K-RTH plays. Same boring music.
#10 Jun 20, 2009
Exactly the reason that I do not listen to KROQ.
#11 Jun 21, 2009
I loved my "little bit of heaven, 94.7." Can't wait for July 10th. Remember mailing in self addressed stamped envelopes? You'd get free tickets to attend some great movies and stuff. Even got tickets to see KISS at Magic Mountain when they filmed their movie. Ahhh, the 80's, along with 94.7, was a great time.
#15 Jun 21, 2009
Not "OLD"
More like "AGED" Like a fine wine.
#16 Jun 21, 2009
KWEST didn't become KROQ. KWEST was 106 and KROQ was and is 106.7. Two different stations but I still miss the Mighty MET.
United States
#18 Jun 28, 2009
Great idea! But two things:
1) "The Burner" Mary Turner can be found sitting courtside at Lakers home games with with her husband former KMET sales monster Norman Pattiz ( AKA Westwood One founder).
2) At 10PM on July 10 when Jim Ladd plays the signal tune "Kashmir" by Led Zeppelin, is half of L.A. gonna fire up a joint like we used to?
#20 Jun 29, 2009
Dr. Demento WILL be on!
On Friday, July 10, Los Angeles station KSWD (100.3 The Sound) will be presenting an all-day tribute to KMET, which was Dr. Demento's flagship station from 1972 to 1987.
Dr. Demento will be featured live on the air between 7 and 8 PM Pacific time. Dementites can also stream the broadcast online at this time at www.thesoundla.com .
#23 Jun 29, 2009
Obviously Fabio, You do not remember KMET the way it really was. KMET was so much more than Boston, Styx, Yes, and Bob Seger songs. All great groups and such, but KMET was much, much more than that.
Over the years there have been faint copies at best. KLSX 93.1 was close until it became JACK ($h!t) FM. There is still 95.5 KLOS, but 94.7 KMET had the #1 spot on every radio I ever had........ that was until the day I turned on the radio and found the KMET became the WAVE. Pound for pound and song for song....... 94.7 KMET was the best bar none.
#26 Jul 10, 2009
Frazer Smith was on KROQ Sun. morning from like 4-6am,I believe they may have still been on AM at that time. Then he was on KMET, and then on KLOS.
United States
#27 Jul 10, 2009
What about that Sit On My Face Song!!!
#28 Jul 10, 2009
The Sound rocks, it's real music with real guitar playing bands. It was nice too see my son enjoying Dr. Demento like the good old days. KMET will rock forever.
United States
#30 Jul 11, 2009
Sit on my face and tell me that you love me
#31 Jul 11, 2009
I remember that day, I was cruzin' my lowered bug in the O.C. and I just got done fueling up when I got back in the bug I heard "FREE, FREE SET THEM FREE" yup it was Sting from the Police. That was the beginning of The Wave or the beginning of the end how ever you wanna put it. I listen yesterday off and on to the Mighty Met on the sound, that brought back lots of great memories. I hope The Sound Kicks ass like that again because you know KLOS never will, speaking of which, does anyone remember all the crap Jim Ladd used to talk about KLOS. I guess you gotta pay the bills some how.
#32 Jul 11, 2009
Alright don't forget the fish report with a beat though! KLOS had Pat Kelly do it with Cynthia Fox last week and it was as good as ever - and Pat finished it off with a 94.7. And what about Dr. Leon - classic stuff. As a loyal Mighty Met listener, it turns my stomach to have to listen to KLOS. I'm gonna check out this 100.3 thang. Feb. 14, 1987 - certainly the day radio died.

at my wits end
I have a x5 3.0 06, my check engine light came sand I ran the codes and was a air flow issue. Now the trans failure Prog is coming on. When I drive, I can feel a hard shift between gears and when I slow down to stop, there is a jerk like the truck is skipping gears to get back to first gear
Anyone knows if the two issues are connected
Trans failsafe prog error is to do with the gearbox not air flow problems. I only had this error once and too the truck to an Indy. He told me that it was due to a speed differential picked up by the sensors in the gear box. He flushed and changed the oil in the transmission and replaced the filter - problem sorted.
Ok will try. Thanks
@white lancer
It was the air flow problem that was causing the trans failure program to kick in. I took it to my mechanic and he found a hole in air filter hose. As soon as he repaired that, the codes reset themselves. But thanks for the advice anyway.

MRI procedures are available at our Greentree (Marlton), Voorhees, Turnersville, Route 73, and Washington Township offices, Cross Keys and West Deptford offices.
What is MRI?
MRI is the common name for Magnetic Resonance Imaging. This equipment is used to look inside the body without using X-rays. Under controlled circumstances, magnetic field and radio frequency energy are used to create computer-assisted images of the body. These images are then interpreted by SJRA specialists trained in neuroradiology, body imaging and orthopedic radiology.
SJRA Equipment is State-of-the-Art
SJRA offers the most advanced equipment in the region. Our array of scanners allows us to optimally evaluate any clinical problem with the best technology. Our newest MRI magnet is the Siemens 3.0 Tesla Skyra, an open bore ultra high field system which is designed to optimize evaluation of smaller and deeper structures. This cutting edge magnet brings to the Delaware Valley the latest in advanced MRI capabilities.
We also offer the Siemens 3.0 T open bore Verio scanners at out Voorhees and Washington Township, Cross Keys and West Deptford offices. Our practice also offers three Siemens high field strength (1.5T) scanners, including two open bore Seimens Espree scanners, and three GE high field (1.5T) systems. All of our magnets are continually upgraded to ensure state-of-the-art technology. SJRA utilizes dedicated phased array coils for each body part assuring an optimized exam.
SJRA is proud to be one of the very few facilities in the world to be chosen as a show site by Siemens Medical Systems. We host physicians and scientists from around the world in our centers. The confidence shown in us by Siemens is a result of our commitment to the latest equipment medical science has to offer, made accessible to our patients in a warm, friendly and private environment.
Our newest scanners, the Verio and Skyra from Siemens Medical Systems, combine the advantages of ultra high field scanning at 3.0T with Siemens revolutionary TIM (Total Imaging Matrix) technology. This allows whole body use of this advanced technology which was previously limited to neurological applications. These open bore MRIs, the Verio and Skyra, accommodate all size patients and minimize anxiety and claustrophobia. For many exams, your feet go in first. When a head first exam is necessary, there is plenty of elbow room and at least 12 inches above your face. The extra large open bore design is flared to give you a wide-open view. During the scan, you can even hold the hand of a family member to provide assurance and comfort. In some exams, special ultra lightweight coils will be placed over a part of your body. With the Skyra, SJRA physicians can take imaging to another level of resolution, allowing evaluation of problems previously limited by available technology.
What kind of preparation do I need for an MRI?
Preparation for most MRI exams is minimal. You may be asked not to eat or drink before the exam depending upon the body area to be examined. You will be asked to change into a gown. Most importantly, you must inform the staff of any metal in your body such as pacemakers, heart valves, aneurysm clips, metal fragments in your eyes, or other sources of metal. This will be reviewed in detail when you schedule your exam.
What can I expect during an MRI examination?
During the exam you will lie on a cushioned table. The body area to be examined will be placed on a "coil," a special type of MR antenna designed to capture the images we are generating. An intercom system allows you to speak to the technologist at all times. Most exams require only 15 to 30 minutes of actual scan time.
What if I am claustrophobic or overweight?
Our wide bore field systems allow many claustrophobic patients the ability to be scanned on a high field system. Weight limits vary from one scanner to another, but the wide bore system can accommodate most patients.
For appointments, please call 1-888-909-SJRA (7572).

Six Historic Americans
Remsburg, John E.
Were the American people asked to name the five great historic figures of the first century of our national existence -- the illustrious men who contributed most to build and glorify the United States of America -- the answer would be, George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, and Ulysses S. Grant. To this list of immortals posterity will add another -- Thomas Paine. For nearly a century this noble man -- the real founder of our Republic -- has been buried beneath the stones of obloquy. But slowly the angels of Justice are rolling back these stones from his sepulchre, and the resurrection of Thomas Paine is at hand.
While the orthodox clergy, to their everlasting shame, are responsible for the cruel treatment accorded this patriot, the liberal Christian ministers, to their eternal honor, have been candid and courageous enough to do him justice. These are but a few of their many tributes to him:
Rev. John Snyder: -- "Paine did more than any other single man to create this nation. I simply speak what will some day be the sober judgment of history."
Rev. Solomon Southwick: -- "Had Thomas Paine been a Grecian or Roman patriot in olden times, and performed the same services as he did for this country, he would have had the honor of an apotheosis. The Pantheon would have been opened to him, and we should at this day regard his memory with the same veneration that we do that of Socrates and Cicero."
Rev. Minot J. Savage, D.D.: -- "No man rendered grander service to this country; no man ought to be more cherished or remembered."
Dr. Moncure D. Conway: -- "Above all, Paine was a profoundly religious man -- one of the few in our Revolutionary era of whom it can be said that his delight was in the law of his Lord, and in that law did he meditate day and night. Consequently, he could not escape the immemorial fate of the great believers, to be persecuted for unbelief -- by unbelievers."
Rev. Theodore Parker: -- "He did more to promote piety and morality among men than a hundred ministers of that age in America."
Rev. Dr. David Swing: -- "Paine was one of the best and grandest men that ever trod the planet."
Rev. O.B. Frothingham: -- "No private character has been more foully calumniated in the name of God than that of Thomas Paine."
Rev. James Kay Applebee: -- "I see Thomas Paine as he looms up in history -- a great, grand figure. The reputation bigots have created for him fades away, even as the creeds for which they raved and lied, fade away; but distinct and luminous, there remains the noble character of Paine created by himself."
Dr. John E. Roberts: -- "So long as human rights are sacred and their defenders held in grateful remembrance; so long as liberty has a flag flung to the skies, a sanctuary in the hearts of men, so long, upon the eternal granite of history, luminous as light and imperishable as the stars, will be engraven the name of Thomas Paine."
The Church claims all great men. But the truth is the great men of all nations have, for the most part, rejected Christianity. Of these six historic Americans -- the six greatest men that have lived on this Continent -- not one was a Christian. All were unbelievers -- all Infidels -- all Freethinkers.
It is popularly supposed that Paine was a very irreligious man, while Washington, Franklin, Jefferson, Lincoln and Grant were very religious. The reverse of this is more nearly true. Paine, although not a Christian, was a deeply religious man; while the others, though practicing the loftiest morals, cared little for religion. Paine was a firm believer in the religion of Deism, and a zealous advocate of it; the others, while nominally Deists, and using the conventional language of Deism, were probably more nearly Agnostics in belief.
Washington and Grant, while unbelievers, attended church and retained the good will of the clergy. Franklin avowed his disbelief, but in a friendly spirit which provoked few censures. Jefferson and Lincoln both talked and wrote against Christianity, but Lincoln's criticisms were never published, while Jefferson's, scattered through several volumes, are little read. The rejection of Christianity by these men has been, to a great extent, forgotten or forgiven.
Paine not only opposed Christianity, but he opposed it in a book which was read by thousands, and which the defenders of Christianity could not answer. For this he was persecuted while living and calumniated when dead.
In this volume is presented the evidence of the disbelief of these great men. The first part entitled "The Fathers of Our Republic," deals with the religious views of Paine, Jefferson, Washington, and Franklin. The basis of it is an address delivered before the tenth annual Congress of the American Secular Union, in Chickering Hall, New York, November 13, 1886, at which Colonel Ingersoll presided. The second part, entitled, "The Saviors of Our Republic," deals with the religious opinions of Lincoln and Grant. The matter pertaining to Lincoln was published in 1893. It constitutes the larger portion of the work. For a quarter of a century following Lincoln's death there was a fierce controversy respecting his belief, and the testimony called out by this controversy was quite voluminous. Grant, in regard to his religious opinions, maintained that silence so characteristic of him and little was known or said respecting them,

While talking to Mario Lopez on Extra, Spears said, "Awwww, I want a girl!" Lopez replied, "Oh, you do want a girl! So later on, maybe a little girl?" Spears exclaimed, "Yes!"

Lindsay Lohan Threatens to Leave Rehab
TMZ is reporting that Lindsay Lohan is "hell-bent on making her escape" from the Betty Ford Center after the facility denied her her supply of Adderall, saying she doesn't really need it.
The 26-year-old Lohan claims that she needs the medication for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, but doctors at Betty Ford believe that there are other ADHD treatments available that are not as addictive as Adderall.
"I have severe ADD," Lohan told Piers Morgan during an interview last month. "I can't stand still. So I take Adderall for that, it calms me. I know people who take it to stay up, or girls who take it to supposedly stay slim because it kills your appetite. But I eat all the time. I just take it to stay calm. It works well for me."
But a source told RadarOnline.com, "Lindsay has been able to eat whatever she has wanted and not gain weight for years and she attributes this to Adderall. Everyone knows that the controversial drug ramps up your metabolism, and can suppress the appetite."
Lohan has been sentenced to complete a 90-day stay at Betty Ford, otherwise she faces jail time.

I am 17 years old and I had just graduated from highschool. When I was in 8th grade, I was flat chested. Girls would make fun of me because I was a small girl (about 5'1 now, 110lbs) and I wasn't developing as quickly as the other girls in the chest area.
As soon as my period came in January of my freshman year, I sprouted very quickly. My breasts were a size of about DD-DDD my senior year. I had back pains, but I didn't think they were from my breasts. My mom had shown me an article about a girl my age who had gotten a breast reduction and how it changed her life. That article inspired me.
Once thoughts were running through my head about a breast reduction, I contacted a couple girls from my school that I knew had a breast reduction. Once talking to the girls, they told me they went to a surgeon in Boston at Children's Hospital. I brought this up to my mom, and she said it was a great idea to make an appointment because Boston is known for great doctors and surgeons. After meeting with the surgeon and after seeing the environment, I knew I that it was the place to go to. I wanted to get it done that day. They approved me for the surgery and it took about a month for my insurance to notify us that they would cover the entire cost.
Going into surgery, everyone there was so thoughtful. They treated me so great, and I really was not nervous at all. After the surgery, I woke up with a 2.5 out of 10 pain level. Now, I have had the surgery about a week. I was off pain meds by the 4th day, and I feel great. My breasts are even and symmetrical. I am a full C, although they are a little swollen. I could not be happier with the results. I no longer feel pain in my back and I cannot wait to see the final product when the swelling goes down, because even right now my breasts still look perfect! I could not thank enough the staff who had changed my life in that operating room. It really makes a huge difference.

It may have come 48 hours later than expected, but Ian Thorpe last night claimed a seat on the flight to Athens for the Olympic Games by winning the 200 metres freestyle final at the Olympic trials at the Sydney Aquatic Centre.
Having overcome the disappointment of Saturday's false start in his pet event, the 400 freestyle, the 21-year-old last night became a dual Olympian. While he may not have the opportunity to defend the one individual title he won in Sydney four years ago, Thorpe now has the chance to extract revenge for one of the Sydney Olympics' great upsets.
In 2000, Thorpe was expected to take the 200-400 double, but after winning the 400 on the opening night, he had to be satisfied with silver - and with losing his world record - behind Dutchman Pieter van den Hoogenband. He reclaimed that world record six months later, and now, having qualified last night, he has the chance to avenge that loss.
"I don't feel relieved, as such; it's a little bit of that and a lot of other things as well . . . a melting pot of emotions," Thorpe said.
"Everything that has happened this week has really taken its toll on me. It affected the way I raced tonight and how I will throughout the meet without me even realising it. I was a little bit more nervous than I have been for a number of years now. Not nervous about swimming, but nervous about what can happen and all the what ifs that are out there."
As expected, Thorpe looked a little tentative off the blocks but he was soon in front. "I was thinking before the race that I was going to be that far ahead and no one would be able to catch me. I swam that race to get on the team, not to swim as fast as I could. It was more important for me to be on the team and go to Athens and now I've got a chance to do that."
His time of one minute 45.07 seconds wasn't his fastest, although for three of the four laps he flirted with world-record splits. He has swum faster on five occasions, but last night's time is the seventh-fastest in history, with only van den Hoogenband ever going quicker.
Grant Hackett finished second in 1:45.61, a personal-best for him, and a time that has the two Australians ranked first and second in the world. Third was Nicholas Sprenger, and back in sixth place, and booking a spot on the 4 x 200 freestyle relay squad that will be favoured to win gold in Athens, was Craig Stevens in a time of 1:49.70.
Thorpe explained how his mishap on the opening morning had changed the mood of the entire event. "It started out really relaxed and then there was this level of tension, and now you walk in here and it's like this Arctic frost hits you," he said. ". . . People are a little bit nervous and are not sure what to say. There's a lot of tension here."
Asked about the debate over Stevens and the 400, Thorpe said: "I have withdrawn myself from all that . . . It's something that everyone involved wishes it would go away . . . All of us should support Craig in swimming the 400 metres freestyle at the Olympics."
Thorpe is yet to see a replay of the incident. "I generally don't watch things on myself," he said.
Debate has continued over whether Thorpe should swim the 400 in Athens. This could only happen if Stevens surrendered his spot on the team to Thorpe.
Dual Olympic gold medallist Kieren Perkins said he hoped the public outcry would not force Stevens to do so, as it would be a "decision that for the rest of his life he would probably regret".
"I hope that he decides to swim that race, not because I have any ill will towards anyone, but because I feel he deserves the opportunity and shouldn't be pressured out of it," Perkins said.
Australian Institute of Sport head coach Pierre La Fontaine said the AIS had gone to great lengths to protect Stevens by shielding him from media reports about Thorpe's omission.

A lot will depend on the board if you need a wide or not. The waist width and side cut radius will play a part as well and what kind of boots your wearing.
Where are you riding mainly? This will also help people here suggest other board options you have. As far as the boards you listed it looks like you could get away without going wide on the Rome if you got the 160, the rest I would suggest wide.
|Gottcha guys, so my one question still remains wide or no for 11.5? I don't want to be very grounded on the board, I want to still have the possibility of spins and stuff.
|I'd gather as much info as you can off this forum as around 90% of snowboarding shop staff have no idea what they are talking about. I've been told "you should get the same board as mine, it's sick" as well as "pick a colour that you like and go from there"
Thanks you so much for you help, I would still appreciate some help with the snowboard sizing, because the only thing that is basically getting in my way of buying one is the width.
Manicmouse: Thanks man, what I mostly do is flow down the mountains, so all mountain snowboards would work for me, adding that I am looking forward to trying some tricks too, so in the end all mountain/freestyle somewhere between these two would be perfect.
I'm 6'4" and 190lbs and ride around the 161-163 size. My boots are about 11.5 too and I go for a wide board so my toes and heels don't drag.
Depends on your setup though, some boots have a smaller profile and boards vary in width. Your stance also affects whether you overhang or not. I read that it takes a lot of overhang for it to matter and maybe others can give better guidance here...
What type of riding do you do? That will affect which boards you should look at.
|Hey welcome, In my opinion the best thing to do in this case is to go to a local Snowboard shop that sells SNOWBOARDS mainly and get them to set you guys up, or even visiting a few different actual shops and going from there. It would be a great way to get good beginner set up advise and also ask a lot of questions. Supporting your local Snowboard shop is a good thing to do though they may be a bit spendy compared to internet bargain sites, it would be a good idea IMO..... Good Luck and have fun!
New snowboard help
Hey guys, I am pretty new to this forum and it is an absolutely wonderful one to gain that much info on snowboarding.
So, me and my girlfriend are both getting away from the rentals and going for our first new snowboards, I read a lot of stuff on the sizing, but still can not really decide what size to get for myself, it's much easier for a girl she's 5'3 105lbs so we gonna go with 145 size board. But when it comes to me I am 6'2 around 180lbs and my feet size is 11.5, so I am pretty much lost between wide or not boards. Which one's would you think would be better size and wide wise for me?
some examples I was looking at:
Ride Crook Snowboard 2014
Rossignol Taipan Amptek Snowboard 2014
K2 Raygun Snowboard 2014
Rome Reverb Rocker Snowboard 2014
Appreciate the help a lot guys!

The $1.4-million in annual compensation paid to former Ornge chief executive officer Chris Mazza included unauthorized payments made without supporting invoices, the air ambulance service's former chairman alleges.
Dr. Mazza also demanded that company executives give him a vacation payout, which was not authorized by the board of directors, and insisted that he be paid for medical services he was no longer providing.
The allegations are in a memo written by former Ornge chairman Rainer Beltzner and produced by Liberal MPP David Zimmer at an all-party legislative committee hearing on Wednesday. The memo sharply contradicts the testimony of Dr. Mazza, who described himself as a visionary who left operational decisions – including his pay – to others. Dr. Mazza told the committee the board approved his annual compensation.
But the payments outlined in the memo and described by Mr. Beltzner as "most disturbing," indicate that the board was in the dark about many components of Dr. Mazza's compensation that company executives were paying him over and above his base salary of $500,000 and bonus pay. The board arrived at the bonus pay based on Dr. Mazza's own evaluation of his performance, Mr. Beltzner said.
The compensation, as well as a $500,000 housing loan made to Dr. Mazza, dominated much of the three hours Mr. Beltzner was questioned. It was his second appearance at the committee, which is looking into problems at Ornge.
Mr. Beltzner and Dr. Mazza left Ornge earlier this year after the government cleaned house and called in forensic auditors to probe for-profit entities the publicly funded service created.
Mr. Beltzner wrote the memo to the director of the Ministry of Finance's internal audit division on Saturday, Dec. 24, 2011, shortly after The Toronto Star reported Dr. Mazza's salary.
"At this point, I'm hearing from management that they knew of things that were potentially inappropriate, which is disturbing," Mr. Beltzner testified.
But Mr. Beltzner's own stewardship of an entity responsible for all aspects of the province's air ambulance service also came under scrutiny. Mr. Zimmer suggested the note to the finance official was a "cover my butt" memo. Progressive Conservative MPP Frank Klees said Dr. Mazza has done very well "and obviously he had an incredibly co-operative board."
In the memo, Mr. Beltzner says Dr. Mazza's total compensation includes $400,000 for medical services relating to an agreement several years earlier. The agreement was renewed every year without further review or approval, the memo says. The payment was made without supporting invoices.
When questioned by other executives about this, the memo says, "Dr. Mazza apparently continued to insist that he be paid and was quite 'forceful' about that."
The memo goes on to say that Mr. Beltzner learned only the previous morning that Ornge was paying a doctor at Toronto's Mount Sinai Hospital at the "insistence" of Dr. Mazza for services that were not needed and that had not been delivered.
"Clearly, this may only be the tip of the iceberg so to speak," the memo says.Report Typo/Error

front tilting hood
I have a 26T with a 3 piece hood.It hinges on the right side since the top is attached to the one side cover I can't run with just the top part as I would like to sometimes.Does any one have plans to make the hood hinges that makes it go up and tilt forward? Or any suggestions? And please don't tell me where I can BUY set-ups for $3or$400.00..
late 80s buicks had front tilt hoods those hinges may be the setup for you and there about 30-40 at the jy
I don't think I can use any stock hinge because a Model T has nothing in fron to bolt to.I thought I saw one somewhere that had flat or angle running from the radiator cover back to the firewall on both sides and some kind of hinge set-up attached to them,but I don't remember where I saw it or any details

If you don't release a cassette, you ain't shit.
Piss on some vinyl, cassettes are the new frontier for the fickle minded hipsters that are seeking something to love and subsequently hate 6 weeks later. Does your band have a cassette? Split cassette with another band? Get on the bandwagon now so you can trash the idea by end of summer.

Beginning his eighth season as a member of the UTEP staff, Jeff Woodruff was elevated to assistant head coach in 2007. He also serves as the Miners' tight ends coach. Woodruff's administrative responsibilities include coordinating the Miners' highly successful summer camps across the state of Texas.
Woodruff has over 30 years of coaching experience, including four as the head coach at Eastern Michigan University. He has coached in 14 bowl games.
Last year a pair of senior tight ends, Jonny Moore and Elijah Goldtrap, concluded their careers. Moore posted 31 catches for 281 yards and Goldtrap finished with 104 yards on nine receptions. In 2009, the duo blocked for Conference USA rushing champion Donald Buckram.
Woodruff's prized pupil in 2008 was Jamar Hunt, who parlayed a solid senior season into a free agent signing with the Dallas Cowboys. Hunt was third on the team in catches (31) and receiving yards (367). Hunt, Goldtrap and Moore all scored touchdowns from the tight end position.
Woodruff coached the tackles and tight ends in 2007. Under his guidance, right tackle Oniel Cousins blossomed into a first team All-Conference USA player and was chosen by the Baltimore Ravens in the third round of the NFL Draft. Cousins played an integral role in the line as UTEP set a then-school record with 5,074 yards of total offense. The Miners also tied a 57-yard old school record by scoring 40 points or more five times with the line paving the way. UTEP rated 26th nationally in scoring offense (33.6 ppg) and 36th in total offense (422.8 ypg). Tight ends Hunt and Jake Sears teamed to record 25 catches for 243 yards and three scores.
Woodruff doubled as UTEP's safeties coach and special teams coordinator from 2004-06. During that span he oversaw the development of free safety Quintin Demps, a first team All-Conference player in 2006 and 2007 who is now with the Houston Texans.
Demps was credited with 67 tackles and seven interceptions in 2006. He tied for fifth nationally in interceptions with 0.6 per game. Demps' running mate in the secondary, Joe Fleskoski, ranked second on the team in tackles with 75 in `06.
UTEP was second in the country in punt returns in 2006 (20.0 avg.) led by Johnnie Lee Higgins Jr., who averaged 23.4 yards per return. Higgins was selected the C-USA Special Teams Player of the Year and is now a member of the Philadelphia Eagles.
The Miners were also fourth in the NCAA in punt return coverage in 2006 (3.5 avg.).
UTEP's special teams were also special in 2005. UTEP ranked 36th nationally in punt returns. The Miners were also outstanding on coverage, yielding 4.2 yards per punt return (third-best in the country) and 19.9 yards per kickoff return (52nd-best).
Demps and Fleskoski had a knack for making big plays in 2005. Demps came up with a huge interception to clinch a 44-41 double overtime win against Houston, and Fleskoski scored six of UTEP's 21 points on a 68-yard pick versus New Mexico.
Demps was chosen the co-WAC Freshman of the Year in 2004. He was also selected a third team freshman All-American by The Sporting News after recording 58 tackles and two interceptions. He was honored as a freshman All-American by Scripps and the Football Writers Association of America. Demps scored two touchdowns as a rookie.
Senior Mark Dowdy and sophomore Fleskoski also put up solid numbers from the safety position in 2004, teaming for 90 tackles.
UTEP ranked 20th nationally in punt returns (13.4 avg.) in 2004 led by senior defensive back Jahmal Fenner, who was 10th with a 15.4 average.
Woodruff was the head coach at Eastern Michigan from 2000-03 before coming to the Sun City.
He was the running backs coach at Arizona from 1998-99 before landing his first collegiate head coaching position. His stint with the Wildcats included a Holiday Bowl appearance in 1998. That year Arizona was 12-1 and ended the year with a No. 4 national ranking following a 23-20 victory over Nebraska. Woodruff was the head coach at Cholla High School in Tucson, Ariz. from 1996-97.
He spent 13 years on the staff at Washington. He was a graduate assistant from 1980-82, and offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach as well as wide receivers coach from 1984-94. He was a part of the 1991 Washington squad that finished 12-0 and won the national title.
The Huskies were also selected to play in the 1992 Rose Bowl, marking the fifth time that Woodruff coached in the granddaddy of the bowl games.
In 1983, he was the defensive backs coach at Nevada before returning to Seattle.
A native of Ravenna, Ohio, Woodruff got his start in coaching at Kent State in 1979, where he was a graduate assistant working with the tight ends.
He earned his bachelor's degree from Kent State in 1979. He lettered in football for the Golden Flashes and, as a senior, received the George J. Altman Award, presented to the top student from the school (of H.P.E.R.).
Woodruff and his wife, Jill, have four children - Janessa, Jared, Jessica and Jordan.

Whitney Houston's Brother Introduced Her to Drugs
A shocking new interview with Whitney Houston's brother Michael Houston reveals that he was the one who introduced the singer to drugs, including cocaine, which tragically helped contribute to her untimely death last year.
Candidly, he spoke to Oprah about the fact that he was the first person that the "I Will Always Love You" singer ever used drugs with — not her husband Bobby Brown as many assumed.
Michael Houston Discusses Sister's Drug Use
"You gotta understand at the time … the '80s … it was acceptable," he said. "It's painful … I feel responsible for what I let go so far."
Houston's death on Feb. 22 of last year was officially ruled as an "accidental drowning," but the coroner's report confirmed that she had used cocaine just prior to her death — which led to cardiac disruption.
"I'm living, but I'm not alive without her. I felt responsible, I always have, always. I just felt like I should've took better care of her," he said.
The singer is survived by her siblings, her mother and her daughter Bobbi Kristina Brown.

Today, we helped launch a bold new coalition of civil rights, parent, teacher, community-based and education organizations that is already garnering attention in the media. In its first action, the new group, called Communities for Los Angeles Student Success (CLASS), surveyed more than 100 community groups to find out their priorities for improving L.A.'s schools. Click here to see the results.
The Los Angeles Times reported here on CLASS beginning with this sentence: "A coalition of groups, including the United Way of Greater Los Angeles, has launched an effort to put education at the center of the mayoral race and civic attention."
The article quoted our own Ryan Smith, director of education policy and programming, who made the case for supporting – rather than obstructing – the school district's efforts to improve low-performing schools: "We have a long way to go to in ensuring there is equity and access for all students, but there are some signs we're headed in the right direction…"
LA School Report, the most widely read blog devoted solely to education in Los Angeles, reported on CLASS as well. Ryan was quoted here too: "These organizations, for decades, have been working very hard to increase equitable access to education," said Smith. "We all value the same thing. It makes sense to come together to have an even larger presence."

I uploaded a program to serverA, and it works fine. Recently I uploaded it to ServerB, but it doesn't work fine.
On ServerB, the program is online, and I can access the admin area, but once in admin function, I can't do anything else. It shows me the admin menu, but no matter what I click on, it just stays at the menu.
I have been using the program on ServerA for quite a while, so I know the program well. I just can't figure out what's wrong with ServerB. I know very little programming, so have no way to diagnose the problem. Running this program is the only reason I got more hosting, so I hope I can make this work.
Do you have any difference in configuration or versions between ServerA and serverB?

It may not be Beijing (cough!), but the Wasatch Front continues to battle with (cough!) its own brand of gunk and haze (cough!) in the winter air (cough, cough!).
The Utah Division of Air Quality has declared another "unhealthy" day Saturday for Cache, Salt Lake and Utah counties. That means these groups in those counties should reduce prolonged or heavy outdoor exertion and stay mostly indoors: people with lung disease such as asthma, children and outdoor enthusiasts.
The unhealthy air is expected to continue in those three counties through Monday. The air will be declared "unhealthy" in Weber County on Monday. That also means that the rest of the weekend and Monday will be "no burn days," where it is restricted to use the following: fireplaces, wood and pellet stoves, outdoor fireplaces or fire pits, charcoal grills, smokers and coal-burning stoves.

Besides Add3, Brian is also the founder of Seattle Interactive Conference.
What inspired you to start Seattle Interactive Conference?
Brian: "There were a lot of things happening in this area, but we didn't have a platform to share them. We had so much talent in the back yard, but we didn't have opportunities to benefit each other using the talent. So I decided to create a platform like this so we could make the most of our talent."

Who is your ping pong rival at Add3?
Brian: "Adrian. Both of us are pretty much at the same level. We go back and forth with wins and losses. In every single game we play, we usually go back and forth all the way to the end. Adrian might cheat to Paul, but Adrian and I have pretty fair games.haha"
What do you do when you are off work?
Brian: "I spend time with my family."
【In Catba Island, Vietnam (Brian's favorite place on the planet)】

September 5, 2012
Leicestershire, UK (rushPRnews) 09/05/12 — DairyBits, which provides easy access to a wide range of cost-effective dairy machine parts, has extending its inventory with the addition of a range of janitorial equipment for specific use in highly sanitised conditions.
In a dairy processing environment, maintaining the highest standard of sanitation is of the utmost importance to avoid the potentially catastrophic event of product contamination. As a result, DairyBits now stocks a wide range of janitorial items which incorporate the latest in cleaning technology to inhibit the growth of bacteria and aid the cleansing process.
Mark Gudgeon, managing director of DairyBits, commented: "Many people think that a brush is just a brush, a squeegee just a squeegee and a mop just a mop. However, in tandem with more complicated parts such as rotating seals and motors, technological advancements have meant that these everyday objects have been lifted to a height that is not only suitable for maintaining hygienic conditions, but capable of setting new levels of sanitation."
Indee.d, many of the janitorial products boast the very latest in microbial technology which has been successfully proven to inhibit the growth of a broad range of moulds, mildews and bacteria.
Mark continued: "In a food processing environment you can't take risks where cleanliness is concerned. If a batch gets contaminated, people can become ill if they consume the product. Should that happen, health inspectors would be well within their rights to cease production until the problem is resolved and, processes set in place to ensure that it doesn't happen again. The time that this takes could potentially cripple a business – it's simply not worth the risk – and that's not even taking into consideration the damage that would be caused to the brands' reputation."
From brushes and brooms to dustpans and squeegees, DairyBits can provide the latest janitorial equipment at the best prices, fast. What's more, DairyBits.co.uk allows manufacturers to search and buy 1,000's of OEM and replica parts, many of which it continually has in stock. Parts such as stainless steel fittings and further hygienic fittings can all be located in various categories and sub-categories including electrical, mechanical and liquid and also the specific part required.

O.K my husband came up with the name of this dish. My son Sammy was home sick from school today, so I wanted to prepare something that everyone could just grab when they are hungry. I knew I wanted to make a pasta salad, I decided to add diced rotisserie chicken that way my husband would feel like it was a "real meal" NO BULL, if it doesn't have meat then it just isn't dinner! I buy rotisserie chickens all the time, there are so many things you can use them for, and they are very affordable and quite tasty.
I will try to give the recipe for the dressing, the best that I can. I was basically just playing around, not really measuring just pouring into my food processor and mixing and tasting until I came up with what I liked. I suggest you start with the amounts I will give and adjust according to your taste. "Make It Your Own"! I bought an Artisian Rosemary Bread to serve with it. OMG THIS BREAD ROCKS! YOU HAVE TO RUN TO TARGET RIGHT NOW AND BUY A LOAF.. AMAZING! I Served it warm it really made this salad! Nice and crusty the way I like, loaded with flavor from the Rosemary!
Pasta salad is another one of those foods like soup…it gets better with time! This is a great thing to pack in your lunch the following day.
1 pkg. pasta of your choice
1 rotisserie chicken diced
1 diced red pepper
1 diced cucumber
1 head of Broccoli
1/2 bag baby carrots diced
1 red onion diced
1 pkg cherry tomatoes sliced
Blanch the broccoli for about three minutes in boiling water. I love the way this makes the green burst! I think it taste so much better to do this when using broccoli in a salad, takes the bitter taste off. Be sure to run under cold water to stop the cooking process. I then sprinkled mine with some pepper flakes and salt, I would have added Parmesan cheese, but I did not have any handy. Toss all of the veggies in a 9 x 13 pan drizzle with dressing and let stand in the refrigerator.
Pasta Dressing
Start with 1 cup of good olive oil
1/4 cup of red wine vinegar
4 tbsp sugar
2 tbsp red pepper flakes
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. pepper
Combine all ingredients into a food processor and pulse until sugar is dissolved. ( Or you can wisk by hand , but I'm all about the tools!) Store in the fridge until your salad is ready to be mixed. This salad is best made ahead of time so the dressing has time to be absorbed into the pasta and veggies.

I've got a max model that i want to animate in Motionbuilder, mostly because i have zero max knowledge and find the program to be the absolute most flaky and annoying app i've ever used. Anyhow, i've been trying to export this model with a biped and physique on it and it just isn't working. I get really strange results when i open the model in motionbuilder, ie. the character is all compressed and messed up. The other problem is that this character has Final render materials on him, which don't work in motionbuilder so i'd have to retexture him when he was brought back into max.
Instead of exporting the model and the biped could i just export the biped, animate it in motionbuilder and then import it back into max and bind it to the model?
This model is going to be used in a few small shorts used for our company on shows etc for marketing purposes so there will be a few small scenes which is why i want to avoid constantly retexturing him even though he is simplistic. I'm trying to think of a reason the above won't work but frankly I don't have enough knowledge of max to know if it will or won't.
Any suggestions?

Genealogy in the Cloud
By Thomas MacEntee
Work, share, safeguard and store your up-to-the-minute family history data—online, but off-site—and access it anytime, anywhere, from any internet-connected device. These five cloud-computing tips will take your research to new heights.
"Get your head out of the clouds" was once a common directive from grade-school teachers who wanted kids to stop daydreaming and pay attention to long division. Nowadays, we're learning that it's not so bad to be in the clouds—well, actually, the cloud. Today's cloud is an off-site, online way to store your genealogy and other data. In the cloud, you have 24/7 access to your information from any internet-connected device: a desktop computer (at home, work or the library), laptop, tablet or smartphone. Your files are automatically backed up online and, as long as you take security precautions, protected. If you're tired of keeping your research on various CDs, DVDs, flash drives and hard drives, you owe it to yourself to learn more about cloud computing. Despite what your teacher told you, maybe it's time to get your head (and your genealogy files )into the cloud. Here's why—and how.
What exactly is the "cloud"?
There's actually some history behind the use of the word cloud to describe the way a computer user accesses data stored somewhere other than his own computer. Years ago, when computer systems were mapped out using a flow chart, a cloud was the symbol for a remote server that hosted data and services. For the most part, this server was provided by another business or vendor and located off-site.

Hey guy I currently have an 05 WRX that is an automatic which has its thrills, but I feel like im going no where with it. The reason why I bought the automatic was that I had the mind set that being constantly stuck in traffic and the stop and go wasn't worth it. But now I am kind of regretting it and I was wondering what kind of work involves doing this conversion and what type of parts are needed. Because still having to pay the loan off on it really would kind of defeat the purpose of trading it in for a different WRX with a manual.
I have done some research on this, but I was coming up short on finding some really good info on it. I was just wondering if anyone has successful done this and what type of cost am I looking to get into this? And any tips or tricks would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Busted: Obamacare goalpost shifting 101
posted at 8:49 am on June 7, 2013 by Guy Benson
The Weekly Standard has Nancy Pelosi dead to rights here. Thursday, June 6, 2013:
"I don't remember saying that everybody in the country would have a lower premium," Pelosi said in response to a question from THE WEEKLY STANDARD.
And Pelosi on Meet the Press — Sunday, July 1, 2012:
"Everybody will have lower rates."
Obamacare goalpost shifting is all the rage on the left these days. Expect it to get worse — probably much worse — as major deadlines approach and the slow-motion "trainwreck" unfolds. Also be sure to keep an eye out for it during Democrats' umpeenth Obamacare sales pitch, made necessary by polling results like this and this.
