Why Music is a Great Extracurricular Activity
Being well-rounded for college applications is of course one of the top reasons students join school organizations and clubs. However, there are a lot more benefits to be gained from extracurricular activities than extra bullet points on the resumé. With such an extensive selection of groups to choose from, how do you pick? You can find everything from sports to more academically-inclined societies to areas of the fine arts. One area of the fine arts that can be particularly good for students is music. It is difficult to find someone who does not enjoy and appreciate music on at least some level, so joining a music-related organization ...

It is very common to still find yourself at a stalemate with how to get motivated in the process.

How to Interpret a Reading Assignment
There are many parts to a reading assignment. Although the formal task is to simply read it, it is commonly understood that you'll have to do a lot more than that if you truly want to dominate the assignment. Clearly, the teacher didn't grace this upon you just for the entertainment of reading a story – he or she wants you to truly grasp the meaning of it. The purpose is for you to analyze different points, look at it from different angles, deeply understand the characters, etc. This probably sounds like typical English class jargon, but it is in fact what you need to do. It is easy for students to think they can coast throu ... Read More About How to Interpret a Reading Assignment

An area of low pressure off towards the west is approaching the area and will pass us to the north. Out ahead of it, the atmosphere will be pretty unstable for the next couple of days before a cold front passes by around Friday morning.
Thunderstorms are possible this evening with locally heavy downpours possible within the thunderstorms. Things will quiet down overnight as lows fall to around 60. Tomorrow, we'll see the chance of some showers and thunderstorms late in the day as highs climb into the low 80s with lows in the upper 50s. Some of these storms could be strong in nature, but little to no chance of severe weather is expected. We will see another round of thunderstorms on Thursday with highs in the mid 70s and lows in the low 50s as a cold front begins to pass through the area by Friday morning.
A few morning showers are possible on Friday, otherwise conditions clear out with highs only in the mid 60s with lows in the upper 40s. Conditions remain clear for Saturday with highs in the low 70s and lows in the upper 40s. Sunday through Tuesday, an upper level disturbance looks to pass over our area. Showers and thunderstorms are a possibility with highs in the low to mid 70s and lows in the low to mid 50s.

I am worried about how to handle my 18 year old son. He is a freshman in college and struggles with ADHD and learning issues. I knew that he had started using marijuana as a senior in HS and have talked to him on multiple occasions about it leading to other drugs. Recently, he called to tell me that someone had hit his new car in the lot of his college housing. He claimed it was hit and run. We pressed him to tell us the truth and he swore that that was what happened. He dragged his feet going to the police to file a report, finally going 3 days after it happened.
Recently, he lost his phone and I found it a few days later when the snow melted outside. The water damage caused his password protection to not work. I was curious as to whether he was telling us the truth and looked through his text messages. Not only did I find out that his friend had crashed my son's car but also read about other friends buying drugs and alcohol for their mutual use. Most of it was pot but there was also mention of crack purple kush. From what I can tell, that is pot laced with crack.
My husband and I confronted our son imediately (probably too soon -- we should have given it the 24 hour wait period) and although he initially denied lying, finally confessed that his friend did crash the car. Now we have to deal with the fact that he has filed a false police report, a false insurance claim, and continues to smoke and drive. He thinks he isn't doing drugs by smoking pot and can handle it. He also told us (confirmed by his sisters) that he was doing harder drugs and stopped and claims he is the one to tell his friends not to do the hard ones.
I know I was wrong to read the private messages but it is too late for that now. My husband and I don't know how much to push in order to protect him from this drug use. Do we take away his car? For how long? Mandate drug testing? Or try to tell him we believe he will make the right decisions while sharing our concerns and the facts about pot and its dangers?
He is the second oldest of 6 children. I worry about the others watching how we handle this situation.
Please help me form a strategy.

The Smackdown Bull Riding Series will once again be making an appearance at the Plumas-Sierra County Fair. Last year's event was such a draw to the fair that organizers plan to make the event a regular occurrence.
The Smackdown event has 25 riders signed up from the California Cowboy Professional Rodeo Association and the Professional Bull Riding circuit. The show is already full, but those that want to compete can still be put on a waiting list.
With the professional riders are signed up a few locals as well. Brandon James Grant, Michael Willis and Blake Cadigan will all be attempting to tame the bulls.
The event will take place at 8 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 11, in the horse arena at the Plumas-Sierra County Fairgrounds. Tickets are available in Quincy at the fair office or at Pet Country Feed-N-Tack. They are also available at Sierraville Feed in Sierraville.
Tickets cost $10 for general admission or $25 for a family pass that allows attendance for up to four members. Bulls are still available for sponsorship. Those interested are invited to call Manuel Souza at (800) 653-5486 or email him at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Any of you guys playing World of Tanks? Fairly new game, in beta. I've been messing around with it a bit and playing it time from time. Those of you whom have played navy field and enjoyed, chances are WoT would be a good game for you.
Never heard of it? Google it. It's an interesting little game, worth your while to check out. It's definitely not for everybody, however. But who knows, it might suit your taste.

Hi Chris, NEV
The new 2011 Hell Fire I just received has a label on the board that basically says "after heatTesting, there was no measurable difference. The FST eliminated its vent plug.
" Questions I have are:
1) Was there any testing done for Altitude pressure/Aircraft Travel, compensation for the airpressure in the cargo bays, in which can be a 10,000+ alt difference.
Reason I am asking is because I travel inter-Island for surf and the aircraft cargo underbelly is not pressurized like the passenger cabin. Also I live at 2800 feet elevation in Hawaii.
2) if the vents are not needed, then can I plug the vent on my new Quadra-five so it wont take in any water, I would plug it at sea level so the air trapped inside is at par with normal surfing pressures.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boyle's_law taking into consideration Boyle's law, Charles's law, and Gay-Lussac's law form the combined gas law. The three gas laws in combination with Avogadro's law can be generalized by the ideal gas law.
Thanks for your feedback.

"The most common way people give up their poweris by thinking they don't have any." --Alice Walker
Mental illness throws an intense punch in the lives of those diagnosed. It's an illness at times where you feel both empty and powerless. However, if I have learned anything in the last 22 years in dealing with depression and anxiety, I've learned that the human spirit is not only resilient—it is powerful.
Have you ever noticed that when you get mad at something, you find the power to kick back? Mental illness is an illness where you need to kick back with all your might. Don't let your diagnosis keep you down—learn to fight back so you can come back.
Like me, at times you may have found yourself slipping into a relapse. At these times, the thought to keep front and center is to believe with your heart and soul that YOU DO HAVE POWER. Begin repeating Power Affirmations like "I have the power to get back into recovery." "My personal power will bring me to recovery." "I am a powerful person." Repeating affirmation like these is one step to move you forward.
Why? Giving up is not an option. Trying new medications and or therapies, joining a support group, volunteering, exercising, sharing your recovery story, and living life one day at a time are all steps in the recovery direction. Also remember doing nothing isn't an option either.
Have you ever heard the commercial "You've Got the Power"? I can't even remember what the commercial is advertising; but as I sit here, I can hear that jiggle in my mind. So start believing—YOU'VE GOT THE POWER!!!!
Reflection Question: What will it take for you to believe "You've Got the Power"?

It's Monday, the day after Mother's Day, and I'm looking at photos from yesterday's meal with my family. In the past, usually a day or two prior to a planned gathering, I'd start to feel anxious. The unease stemmed from the fear of being severely depressed on the day of the event and not being able to go. Throughout the years, I've missed weddings, concerts, Broadway shows, birthday parties, Father's Day barbecues, Mother's Day brunches and once-in-a-lifetime events because I was too depressed to get out of bed. I felt ashamed and tormented by guilt each time I made up an excuse. I'd blame it on a stomach bug or highly contagious flu. Having no control over when depression would strike, I missed out on so many occasions—leaving a void instead of a great memory.
Yesterday was not one of those days. My mom had made reservations at this particular restaurant a few weeks in advance and it wasn't until today that I realized I wasn't consumed with dread on the days leading up to Mom's Day. Thankfully, I didn't have even one pang of depression, which meant I was able to join in the celebration.
After years of working on myself, if I'm too depressed to go somewhere, I can bow out and not feel shame or guilt. The cold sweats that came with attempts at planning ahead are gone.
It was never about the plans themselves, but about me having to come up with a lie about why I couldn't make it. Letting go of that fear and not having to worry about what people think—whether they understand or not—is freeing. Depression is an illness and can be as crippling as the flu and it's not my job to go into an explanation about how my mood is not something I can snap my fingers to change.
Speaking openly about my anxiety and depression this past year really made a huge difference - I highly recommend it.

"Mental illness is nothing to be ashamed of,but stigma and bias shame us all." --Bill Clinton
May is designated Mental Health Month--a month designed to open the minds and hearts to the millions of Americans who deal with an illness that causes much pain and at times much shame. Statistics report that mental illness affects 1 in 4 and can appear at any time in one's life. With an illness so prevalent, how can it still continue to be shrouded in stigma and shame? This is surely the million dollar question. The answer eludes those of us challenged with mental illness. When we have a physical ailment, we are urged see a doctor and seek treatment. Like most physical illnesses, mental illnesses can also benefit from early intervention. Yet, two-thirds of individuals challenged by a mental illness go without treatment. It's time to change this statistic. Let's begin by looking at your own bias. Ask yourself, if you have ever judged or looked down at someone because of his/her diagnosis. Have you personally perpetuated ill feelings towards individuals challenged by mental illness? Do you feel embarrassed for the individuals because of their illnesses? Taking some time to self-reflect on these questions is a starting point in breaking down the stigma you may still harbor.Now it's time to help individuals seek treatment. You can provide both the reassurance and permission individuals need to see the doctor. Try normalizing the need for treatment by comparing this health need like any other health need. Encourage individuals to talk to you about their fears of seeking treatment. Let them know you will support them through their journey the best way you can.As the quote states, mental illness is nothing to be ashamed of. It's up to each of us to address our own fears, doubts, and biases so we help others get treatment. Together we can combat stigma!Reflection Question: What have you uncovered about yourself by answering these questions?

Richardson-based MetroPCS enters merger agreement with T-Mobile: Impact of deal on T-Mobile's Frisco office not known
T-Mobile's regional office in Frisco, seen above, is the company's second-largest office in the nation. Earlier this year, T-Mobile laid off 615 positions in the city. Photo by Kelsey Kruzich.
By Anthony Tosie,
Published: Wednesday, October 3, 2012 1:36 PM CDT
Richardson-based MetroPCS announced this morning that it has entered into a merger agreement with T-Mobile.
MetroPCS has agreed to acquire all of T-Mobile's stock and provide Deutsche Telekom, T-Mobile's parent company, with a 74 percent stake in a new, combined company. The remaining 26 percent will be retained by MetroPCS, although the new company will be taken public and sold on a U.S. stock exchange.
Stockholders of MetroPCS will receive a $1.5 billion cash payment -- or about $4.09 per share -- prior to the merger and creation of the new company.
As part of the deal, the corporate headquarters of the new company will be based out of T-Mobile's current headquarters in Bellevue, Wash. A joint press release from MetroPCS and T-Mobile said the new company will "retain a significant presence in Dallas."
On a conference call this morning, John Legere, T-Mobile president and CEO, said the company will seek to expand its coverage in important markets, including the Dallas area.
"Together, we will have an increased network density, coverage and capacity in major metropolitan areas such as New York, Los Angeles and Dallas," said Legere, who will also serve as president and CEO of the company. "In fact, the combined company will enable a deeper LTE network deployment [with high-speed wireless service] in many, many metropolitan areas."
What impact -- if any -- the proposed merger will have on T-Mobile's regional office in Frisco is not known. That office is the company's second largest; only T-Mobile's headquarters is larger. In 2011, T-Mobile was the second-largest employer in Frisco with 1,500 employees, although it laid off 615 positions in the city earlier this year.
Requests for comment from a T-Mobile representative regarding the impact of the merger on T-Mobile's Frisco offices went unanswered.
The proposed company will have about 42.5 million subscribers, Deutsche Telekom said. T-Mobile's customer base will account for about 33 million of those subscribers, while MetroPCS's customer base will account for more than 9 million subscribers.
T-Mobile's Dallas area employees have been at a corporate event at the Sheraton Downtown Dallas Hotel since Tuesday morning.
At that event, Jon Freier, regional vice president and general manager of the Dallas area for T-Mobile, said the wireless provider has improved its presence in Denton and Collin counties with improved wireless coverage.
"We have about 1,000 cell sites across the Dallas area," Freier said. "Dallas is one of our biggest and fastest-growing markets, and we're working as fast as we can to get the network to become faster and more reliable. Everything from Frisco to Flower Mound, Plano and the majority of the Dallas area is now 4G."
T-Mobile plans to open three new stores in Denton and Collin counties in the coming months, Freier said.
The proposed merger isn't the first for T-Mobile in the past year.
In 2011, Dallas-based AT&T announced plans to purchase T-Mobile and merge the two companies. When AT&T was unable to get the regulatory approval necessary to purchase T-Mobile and abandoned the planned merger it was forced to pay a breakup fee to T-Mobile.
That breakup fee -- $3 billion in cash and $1 billion worth of the wireless spectrum AT&T owned -- has since allowed T-Mobile to expand its 4G and LTE coverage in the United States, including the Dallas area.

We love it!

About Me Budget Shopper
We have been very happy with this bookshelf. It does not take up much room, has neutral colors, and my son cannot climb it. The only reason I did not give it five stars is because some of his board books and smaller books are hard to see when they fall deep in the pockets. I just went ahead and put his smaller books in a basket next to the bookshelf, and that works for us!

I use this product to store all the books my son read. It actually holds a lots of book, easy to take the book out and return it. It really dose the job and clean up the mess. It's wider than then the book shelf I bought from [...] and th pocket are deep, so It's good to hold mid and large size book.

Functional and attractive
By Angela_in_FL
from Jacksonville, FL
This works great for my almost-2 year old. She can easily reach her books and enjoys taking them out and putting them back in herself. The biggest con that I see is that the pockets are deep enough to swallow many of her books, so they are not visible and you have to dig for them (toddler board books tend to be small). I also would have loved a dark cherry color option. I ended up painting mine since the wood color didn't fit into her nursery decor.

I recently went out & found these rubber coated small tie bags as part of an old vintage boy scout pack. They just put a big smile on my face. I like the part how there is an "old sock".
I cut here & snipped there, painted on the back, added bright orange zippers & vintage lures & this is the result. They would make the most unique dopp kit ever & also a great conversation piece.
Have a great weekend!

Starlight From A Starless Night March 12, 2012 Written by chipster61
I wrote this gig review shortly after the March 4th show at Blueberry Hill. As for the recording, this along with the Belcourt show are my favorites from this tour. Also do not miss out on the soundscapes from Estonia later in August 2006, if you enjoy these.
I had my doubts about the way the evenings show would unfold due to several reasons. There was an hour and a half between doors opening and the scheduled start of the show. What would people do during this time frame sitting in a small basement that makes 12th & Porter, in Nashville, look like a concert hall? Why drink, speculate on the show and trade tales of King Crimson adventures of course.
I found my thrill December 9, 2008 Written by DeVito OK, SoundScapes are beautiful and deep, mysterious and melancholy, atmospheric and soul-stirring and all that. But this concert shows they can be buckets of fun, too, in their own way. Fripps got an odd sense of humor (or humour) and probably wont admit it, but its all over the place here. I think he found his thrill at Blueberry Hill. --Chris DeVito
I was There, I am Here December 12, 2006 Written by professionalhumanbeing I brought MY Slinky Minx Nora to this show. He made her blush reading some steamy "Savage Love" letters at set break. She is one the many lady/women there that night, there to witness me in the rush of Love seated directly in front of RF (as I was first in line, having waited four hours to be so.) I heard the acual acoustic thwack of plectrum against stainless steel, and the clicks of the Bradshaw buttons, the squeaks of the Roland volume pedals and the stool as he played. I, too sat in relaxed state, eyes half closed as this nights stupendous, magickal, blissful, beautiful sounds tremlbed, sailed and wobbled their way into my soul as well. I, too, teared up at RFs comments about T. Someday these talks from this tour will perhaps be shared, but for now. no. I was There. I am Here.
Very Good November 26, 2006 Written by millingt
The Starlight pieces are really, reallly, quite good. Just an old guy on a stool with a guitar. Pretty impressive.
As Beautiful Now As It Was When We Were There -- Exquisite Music Played With Heart and Mind in Sync September 23, 2006 Written by LTinAspic The first thing Id like to say is that my wife, Elisabeth, and I were there the night Robert played this exceptionally moving piece of music. In fact, it was I who provided the "accompanying cash bribe" that convinced Robert to play the two "Starlight" pieces.Everything about that evening was magical. We sat in the front, not more than 6-7 feet from Robert during his Q&A session. We asked him a question the answer to which filled our eyes with tears. I always suspected Robert had very deep feelings, but my question proved it.And so did his glorious music.Soundscapes are extremely emotional! They wash over me in waves, especially this one from March 04, 2006 Blueberry Hill in St. Louis, Missouri. Elisabeth and I drove hundreds of miles (from Michigan) to be there and we were thrilled from the first notes Robert played. I remember looking at my wife during this performance and seeing her mouth open wide in complete awe. She, too, was bowled over by not only the technical virtuosity but also by the raw emotion these compositions elicited.Its very difficult to pick one of these pieces that means more to me than another. They seem to be taken in as a whole in my mind. "Starlight" and "Starlight II," of course, are my favorites because I "paid for" them that night. But the entire concert was a joy to experience.And "experience" is the proper word, for Soundscapes arent necessarily for the eyes. After all, its just Robert sitting with his guitar in front of a stack of gizmos. Whats to see? No, the best way to experience a Soundscape performance is with eyes closed, allowing the music to enter in and stir the soul.That said, I will admit "At the End of Time" contains some powerful, lush-sounding string passages that are incredibly moving. I think it was at this point in the performance -- roughly half-way through -- that we felt the most emotional. Such beautiful music! It transcends mere words.But as moving as "At the End of Time" was (and still is), "Starlight II" is another animal entirely. Its quite possibly one of the most beautiful passages of music Ive ever heard.And to think it exists almost as a fluke. Robert was as surprised as his audience was when the melody to "Starless" emerged from his equipment when, as he put it, "This shouldnt be happening." Somehow, the noodling from "Starlight" was still recorded and it came out during his encore. In full improvisational mode, Robert went with it...and "Starlight II" emerged just as you hear it. Breathtaking.Thank you so much, Robert, for making Blueberry Hill available to everyone. Hearing it again allows us to relive the evening. (Im listening to it now as a fairly heavy rain falls outside my windows, mingling with the lushness of the Soundscape to create a wholly new listening experience. John Cage was right!)Id love to hear the Q&A sessions as downloads. Those are as engaging as the Soundscapes themselves. Robert is extremely witty and entertaining when he chats with his audiences and it would be fun to hear that banter again.All in all, if you only download a couple of Soundscapes, please make sure this is one of them. Its truly an experience of sound and emotion that will stick with you a long, long time.Bill MurphyGrand Rapids, Michigan
Delightful August 12, 2006 Written by millingt
The Starlight pieces are some of the most beautiful pieces of music I have ever heard. And dont forget Time Stands Still. Highly recommended.
Contrasts complete the picture June 13, 2006 Written by opusposthum Beautiful, and of some significance because of the graceful allusions to by-gone years (how much for Fracture indeed, venal gigster!). Theres a bit more of what I would term fear and trembling in this performance, which leads me to recommend this as a download along with the Atlanta soundscapes, which are drenched in a beautiful melancholy that can only be suitably complementary. The recording quality can only be described as stupendous. Many thanks and to all you others, buy and enjoy!
Placid and Pristine June 7, 2006 Written by jimmator Thank you, those of you responsible at DGM, for embracing the FLAC format! Not only am I very satisfied with this placid and contemplative performance, but I am also thrilled by pristine sound that has been delivered via FLAC from the original live digital recording. Being currently unable to attend any of these shows, I am also very grateful for the speed at which they are being made available online. The site in general allows me to to feel as if Im on the road with the crew (without having to deal with any unpleasant accommodation issues!) Mr Fripp: Thank you for providing such a unique and gratifying service to your fans. Prospective downloaders: if you havent embraced FLAC yet, do! You can always convert them to MP3 if you absolutely insist. Settling for a lossy representation of the audio when the artist is providing such a high-quality direct digital recording borders on masochism.
stellar June 7, 2006 Written by rfwhitman
Overall this Soundscapes performance is the most seamless I have listened to. The musical thoughts and emotions move in and through seemingly on a path of intention. Beautiful, enrapturing, transporting music.
The Starless melody in this context or in its original setting is where words fail. As Elvis Costello said, "writing about music is like dancing about architecture."
But saying it as best I can, the Starless melody is an especially articulate and long-resonating sentence, in a language made of emotion, time, number and audible vibration, and it retains all that in a Soundscape performance.
Theres not much else I can say that other reviewers havent said, or that the music itself doesnt say better.
Wow June 6, 2006 Written by pyython Upon first listen, in a dimly lit living room, after a glass of wine, all I can say is Wow! Outstanding from beginning to end. Time Stands Still brings you in, At The End of Time causes a myriad of emotions, then the intro of Starlight. Simply startling and "cool". The "Starless/Starlight" piece is, to me, simply this: the guitar notes of Starless are only a stepping stone for a fantastic and emotive soundscape. Once the piece develops, there is no real association with the original song, but an experience of listening to a wonderful and satisfying piece. This is an outstanding conclusion to an quality listen.A "lost" hour with a satisfying and complete soundscape. Im sure it was truly a memorable experience being there, but, for me, it was no less memorable on my first listen.Thank you.
Wow! Thank you! June 6, 2006 Written by FrankP
I was at this show and I wont soon forget it. For me, it was "one of those nights". I still think about it months later. I could go into all of the different ways it was personally significant to me but Id just sound like a twit. Hopefully, this recording will have some significance to you.
Thanks for the sonic photo album. Cant wait to walk down memory lane!

Mr. Fripp,
Thank you so much for putting the St. Louis show as a download. The show was fabulous and listening to it tonight brought back memories I will never forget. What a lovey and intimate setting for such a well behaved audience. I enjoyed setting the bids during your reading of the local newspaper. I hope you took your lovely wife out for a wonderful dinner.
My husband and I were celebrating our 10th Anniversary and your show was the cherry on top of a fabulous weekend. We hope to hear and see you again soon. Next time well make sure you are in a better hotel with great internet connection and a fabulous meal.
And to your wife you spoke so affectionately about...thank you so much for sharing your husband with us; for us it was time very well spent.

Pattern testing Hollyburn skirt pattern, recently launched by Tasia of Sewaholic! This pattern is drafted for beginner level. A flared skirt, almost half-circle, with three different lengths with three different amounts of flare.
I made view C, the shortest length in size 2 with button tabs. Tasia's sewing instructions are clear as usual and I'm sure anybody with in beginner level won't have any trouble following it.
Actually I wasn't too sure about the skirt when I first saw the pattern. It was not the style that I usually consider to wear. But I changed my mind after wearing it. It is flattering and comfortable at the same time. This is a very versatile pattern that will look good in solid or patterned fabric, in any length, and even in almost any type of fabric. It's a good thing that I tested this pattern, now I know that I can wear this style of skirt!

I thought I'd get an early start on my build thread, so here it is. This is my first foray into vintage bikes, as well as "rat rodding" anything. I've always loved the style, but never had an appropriate project to try my hand for myself. Until, that is, my neighbor had a tag sale. I snagged this AMF for $20, immediately walked it home and tore it apart, unsure what my plans for it were.
I was a little pressed for time while tearing the bike down, so I didn't have much time to scope it out or appreciate any of the details of the craftsmanship. I didn't notice how few actual welds were used to build the frame, or how much style the bike has. Today (06-23-2012) I had some time to kill before doing some yard work, so I took the frame down from the rafters and took a few more pictures and really stood back and appreciated everything the bike has to offer. I'm in love.
Originally, I was thinking of painting the bike in a two-tone turquoise and cream, like a 1950's Chevy Bel Air. Then, the more I thought about it (and the more I looked around this awesome site), the more my mind changed and it was decided: This bike is going to be a rat.
Here are the initial pictures I took:
And after the teardown:
The original head badge is missing, and the original owner (whom my father-in-law happens to know) added a small pendant in it's place. I don't have a good pic of the pendant, but it looks just like this:
Now, I'm not a religious man, but I dig that medallion; and it will be returning to the bike once I'm done with it.
The original owner also added this cool little license plate to the rear fender:
BB shell is in nice shape:
I've never seen a stem built like this before, very cool piece of craftsmanship right here if you ask me. The chrome was pitted but some WD-40 and Scotch-Brite took care of it nicely:
Frame sticker (not sure how I missed this, but seeing it earlier may have prevented me from needing to post a thread in the "I.D." section. "AMF 2016 A":
And the serial number, stamped into the dropout. I love how the bike was built, seeing the way the dropouts are joined to the seat stays and chain stays is beautiful:
A lot of the chrome still needs work, almost all of the fender runners are bent or tweaked and will need straightening, but all of the bearings and races are in remarkable condition. I'll only be cleaning them and re-packing them with fresh grease, but honestly; they don't even need that. Even the chain is still free and flows freely, I've got that soaking and will clean it up to get a better feel of whether or not a replacement is needed; but I don't think it will be. I want to keep as much of this bike as it was when I got it rather than replace a ton of stuff.
Obviously the tires are shot, so I'm replacing them with 26"x1.75 whitewalls. The rim strips disintegrated when I did so much as look at them, and the tubes had slow leaks, so they're being replaced as well. My new goodies should show up early next week.
Other than that, I won't go into details on the build, I'll let the future pics speak for themselves. I hope you all have as much fun watching this build as (I hope) I'm going to have doing it. Cheers!

Kent State Running Back Suspended After Felony Accusation
Freshman Julian Durden's athletic successes may be negated by his off-the-field legal troubles.
A Kent State freshman running back has been indefinitely suspended from the Golden Flashes after being charged with felony theft and misdemeanor drug possession. Julian Durden, 18, of McKees Rock, Pa., was charged with one felony count of receiving stolen property on Feb. 13 after he allegedly stole a woman's debit card from her Korb Hall dorm room, reports the Akron Beacon Journal. Durden will appear in Portage County Municipal Court on Feb. 22 for a preliminary hearing. Additionally, Durden was found guilty of drug possession on Feb. 11 after Kent State University police caught him with a small amount of marijuana and drug paraphernalia in the Korb Hall parking lot, according to online court records.

We are pleased to announce that GREET (Beta) in a new platform is available for free download.
Argonne National Laboratorys life cycle analysis team, sponsored by the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, has developed GREET in a new user friendly platform for evaluating the emissions and usage of primary resources associated with transportation fuels production and use. This new integrated design is based on the GREET database layered with algorithms and a graphical interface, thus making it a powerful and flexible tool. The new intuitive graphical interface allows the user to create new pathways from the available database using simple drag and drop operations.
This new software is now available for download. For more information and to download the software, check out the new GREET platform page
For more details on GREET(Beta), please download and read the following documents:
The GREET team at Argonne National Laboratory is pleased to announce a new release of the GREET fuel cycle model (GREET1_2012, rev. 2) . This release includes the following updates:
For more details on updates in GREET 1 2012 rev2, please download and read the following document:
This release of GREET vehicle cycle model,(GREET2_2012, rev. 1) includes minor bug fixes.
To fully evaluate energy and emission impacts of advanced vehicle technologies and new transportation fuels, the fuel cycle from wells to wheels and the vehicle cycle through material recovery and vehicle disposal need to be considered. Sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE), Argonne has developed a full life-cycle model called GREET (Greenhouse gases, Regulated Emissions, and Energy use in Transportation). It allows researchers and analysts to evaluate various vehicle and fuel combinations on a full fuel-cycle/vehicle-cycle basis.
The first version of GREET was released in 1996. Since then, Argonne has continued to update and expand the model. The most recent GREET versions are the GREET 1 2012 version for fuel-cycle analysis and GREET 2.7 version for vehicle-cycle analysis.
GREET was developed as a multidimensional spreadsheet model in Microsoft Excel. This public domain model is available free of charge for anyone to use.
For a given vehicle and fuel system, GREET separately calculates the following:
GREET includes more than 100 fuel pathways including petroleum fuels, natural gas fuels, biofuels, hydrogen and electricity produced from various energy feedstock sources
GREET simulates the following three vehicle classes: :
GREET includes more than 80 vehicle/fuel systems covering the following vehicle technologies:
