Custom 2000 GMC Sierra - Firestorm
One Hot GMC With All the Right Licks
Are truck enthusiasts born with a knack for customizing vehicles, or do they develop their passion for custom trucks by learning it from their parents? This question brings to mind the nature versus nurture debate, and, ultimately, there really isn't a definitive answer. For Jason Mattison, of Northport, Alabama, though, building custom vehicles was definitely a learned behavior.
"Dad got me started customizing vehicles at an early age," he recalls. "He is a street rodder, so he got me interested in vehicles and helped me out with my first vehicle at the age of 15." So it stands to reason that Jason's latest creation, a 'bagged and flamed '00 GMC Sierra, has roots somewhere near the family tree.
Like many projects, Jason's custom was rescued from a used car lot and brought home to be transformed from basic transportation to cool street machine. The first order of business was giving the truck the right altitude adjustment. Chassis Tech drop spindles and Contitech airbags replaced the stock spindle and spring up front.
With the front setup in place, the truck was wheeled to Ground Pounder Customs for a completely new rear suspension. Out back, the original leaf spring setup was scrapped in favor of a two-link suspension from Ekstensive Metal Works. To give the truck an earth-hugging stance, a Monster Notch from Silver Star Customs was grafted into the frame. According to Jason, he and his father-in-law Terry Tyner, with friend Chad Skelton, reworked the rear suspension a few times to get it right. The rear rides on Airlift airbags, while the whole air system uses 3/8-inch lines and ODE Black Max air valves. For rolling stock, Jason chose 20x8.5-inch Billet Specialties SLX26 wheels wrapped with 245/40R20 Falken tires.
Before the truck was shipped off to the paint booth, some custom body mods were in order. Up front, things were kept simple with the addition of a Stull Billet insert in the chrome grille. Other simple add-ons included Street Scene mirrors, a cowl-induction hood, and a Sir Michaels steel roll pan for the rear. Barker Custom and Collision in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, was the source for more serious mods, such as shaving the taillights, stake pockets, and the tailgate handle and also molding in the steel roll pan. Kevin Williams was credited with laying down the Victory Red paint on the truck along with the trick flame job.
The flamed theme continues on the inside as well, starting with black ultra-leather flamed seats and flamed Trenz billet pedals. Kenny Long of Long's Glass and Upholstery in Vernon, Alabama, did the flame job on the seats and also fabricated the custom center console. The flamed console is decked out in black and red ultra-leather and houses AirLift Easy Street Air Gauges. Another flamed touch is the Colorado Customs billet steering wheel. The dash was also smoothed and painted for a true custom appearance, while red-leather door inserts complement the dash. The finishing touch is a complete JVC sound system.
As a daily driver, Jason kept the original 5.3L engine fairly stock with the exception of painted Escalade motor covers and the addition of a Mac Products air intake. With the motto "do it right the first time" and a hankerin' for flames, Jason has created a cool custom that even his father would be proud of.

But the main contributing factor was my mouse which tended to double-click at odd intervals all the time.
This may not sound like much, but for the past several months, this seemingly annoying feature kept playing against me. Every time I would click it once, it would sometimes immediately double-click, causing unwanted files to be opened or going back two pages at once. Furthermore, going to the options menu and changing the double-clicking speed did nothing to assauge this glitch.
Until you've had your reliable navigation device act against your orders, you can't understand the world of frustration I'm coming from. Choosing an Internet browser on the taskbar causes two windows to open. Renaming a file makes it open by accident. Moreover, moving multiple files causes ALL of them to open at once. Trying to move a sentence around becomes an editing nightmare where you have no idea whether your words are going to betray you or not. Compounding to the madness was that the mouse would sometimes UNCLICK while I was dragging, leaving multiple instances where I would find myself moving a different object from my intended one. Cropping images would result in either zooming in the picture or editing a smaller piece than I intended. That lack of certainty made me constantly wary.
And every time these unintended actions took place, I would get invariably mad and actively bite the little tool, convinced that if I pressed down on it hard enough, it would work properly. This school of thought comes from the same place as kicking machines in order to make them work properly. Of all the bad influences comics are considered a menace for, this one squarely falls in their realm.
After some online research, I found out that there was probably some dust that was interfering with the controls, which would explain why it was so wonky all the time. I attempted to clean the sides out with some scrap paper and an air blower I normally used to pump my hearing aids of moisture. For awhile, it seemed to work, but then things would go back to double clicking again, and I'd be back to my old standby of doing a robotic feral cat impression. Eventually, I got so frustrated that I actually popped up the underlying clicker cover. I was sure that having uncorked the surface of the problem area and cleaning out the underlying area I'd been unable to reach would solve the annoying double-clicking. It didn't.
Experiments made with an alternate mouse confirmed that it wasn't a technical issue, since it worked perfectly fine whenever I clicked once. I could've simply switched back to the old model, but I'd grown used to the laser guided mouse, compared to the old ball mouse model, and needed the fast movement and ease of progress. I'm always afraid of trying out new things because I worry that I'll enjoy the new thing TOO MUCH and it'll take over my life, and I won't be able to return to the old ways. I resisted using the internet and email for years because I'd heard horror stories about people suffering from social addiction. After fighting an uphill struggle involving having to complete my college dossier, I joined the club of online addicts along with millions of other sufferers. (Well, it wasn't so much of a struggle, as bowing to the inevitable) I'm amazed at people who purchase the latest technological marvels in their Beta form even before they've gotten all the kinks out, and are willing to plop down hundreds of dollars on the latest device that for all intents and purposes, may not even work that well, and become obsolete within the span of a month.
|This is another common feature of new technologies introduced in comics - outright resistance to the unintended disaster the device causes,
until it proves its worth during an emergency. So yeah, you can blame comics for that too.
This Princess & the Pea syndrome keeps holding me back because there are certain sensations that makes it impossible for me to function without constant distractions. For instance, I can't talk to somebody if they're facing an open window, because the bright light makes it impossible to read their lips. That's a biggie, but there are other minor details that I find annoying that keep me off my game and prevent me from operating at full capacity. The mouse issue is one of them.
I heard that mouses (mice?) were relatively cheap at $10 each, so I was shocked to find out that the average computer mouse would sell for about $30+ nowadays. And these are high-tech mice (mouses?) mainly used for playing online role-playing games, with multiple added buttons on the side. But I didn't want any of that - I wanted a simple functional mouse that had a reliable scrolling wheel.
Sadly, the model that I coveted didn't seem to be in stock anywhere I looked. I'd always been surrounded with similar old models in my household, so it never occurred to me that there might be updated models that operated differently from what I was used to. I found a few mouses that looked fine upon first sight, but they didn't meet my requirements because they felt different scrolling down than when scrolling up. I want my mouse wheel clicking to be CONSISTENT. I found another mouse that was laser-guided, and scrolled comfortably, but it was too small for my hand. Later, I found a mouse that seemingly matched all my qualifications: it was laser-guided, it fit comfortably in my hand, and it made a satisfying clicking sound when I scrolled. But the ridges on the wheel annoyed me.
Being unable to find a working mouse to my liking, I asked a computer friend of mine if he happened to have any old models lying around. He did, but they were all the kinds used for playing online games. However, he helped me out by telling me that I could open up my mouse, which I never knew I could do because the screws were hidden by the sticky pads underneath. Once I opened up the thing, I was amazed at the amount of hair and dust that'd accumulated inside. You know how a corner of your keyboard tends to get dirty without your knowing? Take a small piece of paper and drag it through the F-number boxes, and you'll get a fair idea of how much crap was in there. No wonder the thing wasn't working properly!
However, there was a slight complication. Upon opening up the mouse, some pieces fell out, and I hadn't taken the time to take notes on which part went where. However, because I'm notoriously stubborn when it comes to accepting outside help, I resolved to solve the dilemma myself. I won't bore you with the details of how I managed to put Humpty Dumpy together again, but when I was done, I found some pieces of plastic with no idea what they were for. But the mouse seemed to work fine without them, so I didn't press it any further. But then the double-clicking started happening again, necessitating opening up the patient again. After various matching, I eventually determined that the plastic pieces were actually broken off support material that had broken off during my earnest abuse on the mouse. In short, it's internal organs were a mess, and it was my fault.
I tried to do some transplant surgery with other spare mouses I had lying around, but found out their plastic skeleton designs were significantly different from mine. Upon further exploratory surgery with different models, I found that later mouse designs had the scroll wheel attached to the cover, which were different from my preferred model with the wheel at the bottom. I could've taken the easy route and removed the offending plastic obstacles, but my lack of confidence and experience in handling plastic surgery prevented me from doing so. Besides, I had no way of knowing if removing the offending part would work, and the cover would be ruined if I tried to put it back in the original mouse. Of the four spare mouses I had, I only managed to switch between two fairly similar models. That goes to show how rival companies stick close to their competitors.
Finally, in a dilapidated place next to an abandoned library, I found a computer store that sold the kind of mouse with the following qualifications I wanted. So far, there's just one small glitch - I don't like how the stickers underneath feel when I move it about. There's just no pleasing some people.
|On the left is my preferred model. On the right is the latest model.
Note where the scroll wheel is attached.
"I went out with a woman. She liked me, but her parents didn't like me. I went out with another woman. Her parents liked me, but she didn't like me. I went out with a third woman. She liked me, and her parents liked me.
"But her husband hated me."
It's such a relief to be able to move things around and not worry about when the computer's going to turn against me. I'm hoping the scratchy underside will be resolved in the next few days. As for the name of this post, it comes from the title of a Dilbert collection when it was still about amusing things other than office humour:

Lining the corridor that leads into Michelangelo's David are the four, incredible, Unfinished Slaves. They were commissioned by Pope Julius as part of a highly elaborate plan for his tomb, in 1505. However, Julius soon died, and the huge project was diminished in funding and scope several times over many years. The plans stopped and started, dragging on and on over the years. Michelangelo worked on the project intermitently, and produced only six figures of what was originally supposed to be thirty. Two more highly finished slaves, from his early work on the tomb, are at the Louvre. The four figures, at the Accademia, dramatically less finished, have been highly influential to legions of sculptors and other artists, because of the unique aesthetic they represent.
On the left as you walk in is the "Awakening Slave."
This piece is one of the most powerful and expressive works of art I've ever seen. The figure feels like it is writhing and straining, and going to imminently explode out of the marble block that holds it. The latent power one feels is extraordinary. Is this a Herculean effort to be born physically from the imprisoning stone, or a titanic struggle to escape the bounds of physical reality and move onto some other plane? I certainly don't know for sure, but it feels like the business at hand here is cosmic.
Michelangelo is famous for saying that he worked to liberate the forms imprisoned in the marble. He saw his job as simply removing what was extraneous. The endless struggle of man to free himself from his physical constraints and liberate the more enlightened spirit within, was part of the Neo-Platonic philosophy that was in vogue in Florence at this time. The burden of the flesh constrains the soul. This is by far the most dynamic and expressive battleground of these forces I'ver ever encountered. The metaphor is inescapable.
Across from the Awakening Slave is the so called, "Young Slave." As opposed to the "Awakening Slave," this one shows no sign of struggle to free himself from the stone, but seems almost bound within himself in a dream like passivity. The contrapposto pose, exaggerated by the narrowness of the block of stone, gives him the air of a fetus curled around itself, writhing gently, waiting to be born. His face, which is just beginning to emerge, seems so youthful by comparison with his musculature. Is he held in check, by the stone, his servitude, shame, innocence or resignation? The metaphoric issues are unclear. There is a beguiing quality to this youth which is highly mysterious.
Down the hallway on the left is the "Atlas Slave."
He is named after Atlas, who carried the entire world on his shoulders. His head has not emerged from the stone, and the weight of even his own creation presses down upon his shoulders. Indeed, this slave seems to be pushing a weight so heavy, it threatens to compress him back into a solid mass of pre-creation marble. The force of weight pushing down, and that pushing back up,
creates an almost seismic tension. There is no feeling of equilibrium here, only a battle of giant tectonic forces threatening to explode in both directions. I can't think of any representation of brute physical force or pressure that generates nearly as much implied power.
Across the corridor, is the "Bearded Slave," the most finished of the four. He is almost free. Only his hands and part of his arm are unfinished. He is bound by the straps around him, not the stone. He is also the least dynamic of the four. He is without mystery, merely a fact. There is no cosmic play of forces here, no arresting drama, or metaphoric jailor. This sculpture, which I think on it's own, in another context, would feel powerful and majestic, seems almost lifeless compared to the others. This reality gives us a clear sense of how astoundingly powerful the other three are. I find myself thinking how would further completion of these works effect their ability to communicate Michelangelo's intentions. Would more information really tell you more, or would it dilute their expressive power? I can't personally imagine how more, would not be less.
Michelangelo's expressed intention of freeing the forms that exist within the stone is also reflected in his technique. Virtually all other sculptors tend to block out the larger forms of the whole piece first. Michelangelo certainly worked with the whole in mind, but he got there from form to form. As he chiseled away stone he would bring shapes to a relatively high state of finish. Whole sections of form started to appear piece by piece out of the block. The contrast of rough and smooth heightens the effect. It's as if, once he established the DNA of the composition, it organically grew itself from part to whole, predetermined by it's original code.
Had the commission for Julius' Tomb proceeded in an orderly manner, who knows what would have happened to these figures. However, it is hard for me to imagine that Michelangelo, a true genius, did not, or could not, recognize the profound signifcance and effect of what he had created here in these " Unfinished Slaves."

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — The Denver Broncos have suspended two executives who are facing drunken driving charges.
Director of player personnel Matt Russell was suspended indefinitely without pay Monday, and director of pro personnel Tom Heckert was suspended for a month without pay.
Executive vice president John Elway's top two advisers were arrested and jailed on suspicion of drunken driving in separates incidents within a month of each other.
On July 6, Russell hit two vehicles, including a police SUV in Breckenridge, injuring an officer. Russell registered a 0.246 percent breath alcohol content, three times the legal threshold for a DUI violation in Colorado, according to the arrest affidavit.
Heckert's blood-alcohol content was measured at 0.162 percent upon his release seven hours after his June 11 arrest in Parker, according to a Douglas County Sheriff's Office report.

FACT OF THE DAY: A surprising amount of you are superstitious and interested in hyenas....
I have been blogging intermittently for about a year now, and have written a grand total of 24 posts.
Like most bloggers I enjoy looking at the stats to see what people are reading and where these people come from. There is something quite amazing and exciting to log in and and see that at that very moment someone over in the Philippines or Australia is reading my blog.
So what do the stats tell me you interested in? The top three posts in terms of reader numbers are;
#20 Pregnancy superstitions around the world (a clear winner)
#5 Getting a flat stomach after birth
#15 Pity the hyena mother (an unexpected hit!)
If I could find some material about superstitious hyenas getting their shape back maybe that would really hit the spot!
Other popular posts include:
#1 Pregnant or breastfeeding for 30 years, my very first post http://pregnancyandchildbirtharoundtheworld.blogspot.co.uk/2011/10/pregnant-or-breastfeeding-for-30-years.html,
#11 Would you have an affair to get pregnant? http://pregnancyandchildbirtharoundtheworld.blogspot.co.uk/2011/11/11-would-you-have-affair-to-get.html
#23 Nipple stimulation in childbirth - does it work? A recently added post seems to be gaining popularity http://pregnancyandchildbirtharoundtheworld.blogspot.co.uk/2012/08/24-nipple-stimulation-in-childbirth.html
I can also tell you that people are not as interested as I thought they might be in;
#9 Grass Hut Ceseareans http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=7294192603725858081#editor/target=post;postID=7141900427892493707 (which I personally think is fascinating (!) about Cesearean type operation being performed in the Uganda in 1879 before it was done successfully in Europe) or
#19 Stress and Infertility http://pregnancyandchildbirtharoundtheworld.blogspot.co.uk/2012/02/19-stress-infertility.html which is about remedies for infertility found in other cultures which may deal with the stress of infertility.
In terms of the readers, the vast majority of you come from the UK and the USA, however, lots of readers also come from Canada, India, The Philippines, Australia and Malaysia. All countries where English is spoken widely - maybe all bloggers writing in English will find that these are the main places where their blogs are read.
Thanks for comments and following so far, its always nice to get feedback on what you think.
So I will keep writing, I hope you keep reading!

Bell: Catfishing aside, Te'o might not be that good
- Notre Dame linebacker Manti Te%27o will face humiliating questions at the NFL Combine as teams probe the story of his imaginary girlfriend
- Te%27o says he hopes teams will judge him on his performance on the field%2C not on the controversy still swirling around him
- But at least one scout insists that Te%27o isn%27t a legitimate first-round middle linebacker when judged against recent picks
INDIANAPOLIS — Manti Te'o won't have any problem distinguishing himself from the roughly 300 other prospects who will roll through the annual meat market that is the NFL scouting combine. Sometimes that can be an issue amid a scene where players are outfitted in non-descript jerseys identifying them as, say, WR07 or OL26.
Not for Te'o, the catfished Notre Dame linebacker. Everybody knows his name.
Too bad it's not just about football. The Te'o baggage is overloaded with the humiliating saga that involved apparently getting duped by a guy posing as a fake girlfriend, then carrying on with the lie about "her death" after learning of the hoax.
"Guys come into the process with 10 hurdles to clear. Well, he's got an 11th hurdle," an NFL general manager, speaking on the condition of anonymity, told USA TODAY Sports shortly after landing in Indianapolis on Wednesday.
"Now you come to the combine, and you spend all of your time with teams talking about those things, rather than the football aspects."
At one time — before the inspiring fable of his long-distance girlfriend, Lennay Kekua, and her death, unraveled — Te'o was a prospect whose stock was bolstered by intangibles. The character grade was in his favor. Now, despite the contention that the star player who led his team to a national championship game was too naïve to be involved in the hoax, there are questions of trust.
Mike Mayock, the NFL Network's draft guru, has some advice.
Mayock said, "Look people in the eye, tell your story and let the tape do the talking for you."
Ah, the videotape. That's the Holy Grail for NFL scouts, currency in the war room.
According to what's on tape, a scout for an NFL team who has studied Te'o extensively, told USA TODAY Sports that he doesn't rate the linebacker as a first-round talent — and it has nothing to do with the fake-girlfriend drama.
Although Te'o is projected as a late first-rounder by multiple draft analysts and rated as one of the top two inside linebackers in the draft, the scout said, referring to first-round in-side linebackers from recent drafts, "He's nowhere near the caliber of Patrick Willis or Brian Cushing."
You know how the NFL scouts can break down a prospect. While many have questioned Te'o's speed, the scout told USA TODAY Sports that beyond a projected 40-yard dash time in the 4.8-second range, he considers Te'o will be used as a two-down player who would have to come off the field in obvious passing situations.
Furthermore, despite Te'o's seven interceptions and productive tackling stats — he had seven games last season with at least 10 tackles — the scout questioned his pursuit. The tackles often came downhill, the scout said, and there were too many missed tackles in the open field. Physically dominating? Not so much for an inside 'backer.
"Look at how Alabama exposed him in the national championship game," the scout said. "He got overwhelmed."
Welcome to the NFL draft process, Manti Te'o. For several weeks, Te'o has been training in Florida, preparing for the combine and his handlers insist, focusing on football. He will get his chance to demonstrate his physical talent. With a blazing 40-yard dash during his workout on Monday, he can change some perceptions. Then there are the individual drills, the bench press … and the team interviews.
While at the IMG Academy, Te'o's prep has included training for interviews. We know what that's about.
On Monday, though, Te'o told USA TODAY Sports' Jim Corbett of his far-reaching saga, "I don't think what I did with the whole situation, I don't understand how it takes away from what I did on the field."
Te'o's premise is understandable. It's football. But it's also naïve, as he gets set to enter the big business of the image-conscious NFL.
In one regard, Te'o is already an impact player in the NFL. He's exposed some middle-aged NFL general managers to the term "catfishing" and provided impetus -- in addition to the silliness involving many other players, college and pro -- for teams to beef up their scouting of social media platforms.
The combine might be the next step for Te'o charting a course to the NFL, but this catfishing drama will linger on many levels.
"I guarantee people will think twice about hiring him for any endorsements," says Lee Gordon, an executive for a media firm, 180 Communications, who has done social media presentations for several colleges, but has no ties to Te'o. "The jokes are out there.
"Whenever you Google his name, it will be there. He might have 20 tackles and pick off the pass to win the Super Bowl, but it will always be there."
At least they will know his name.

"Allah forbids you not, with regard to those who fight you not for your Faith, nor drive you out of your homes, from dealing kindly and justly with them:for Allah loveth those who are just." Sura 60: Al-Mumtahana via Zekr: Multimedia Quran Study Software.
"My Father's house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you?" John, !4:2.
"He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the LORD require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God." Micah, 6:8
If I have a religion, it is a mixture of Spinoza's heretical Judaism which, combined with quantum-uncertainty, negates his conclusion that the course of human events is so predetermined that nothing we can do can alter it.
Western Civilization --both that of Europe-The America and Islam-- is an unfolding of the conflicting World-Views of Judaism [with its insistence of the Primacy of God] and Greek Philosophy [with its insistence that everything is determinable through the application of reason to observation]. That within the last century we have discovered the quantum nature of matter-energy, and within the last couple of decades that Dark Matter and Dark Energy make up over 95% of the Universe --called Dark because we don't know anything about them other than that they somehow modify what we thought we understood to be one of the four fundamental forces of our Universe [Gravity*], should at least give us reason to question our hubris.
So I am particularly drawn to the Prophet from whom my name is derived.What constitutes justice and mercy are cultural attributes. We can learn and internalize them from those whose teachings have shaped our culture: The Hebrew Prophets, Jesus and Muhammad. Learning an internalizing humility is a more difficult task.
For those who seek to learn Justice and Mercy as taught within the room named Islam, please be advised that you can download a version of the Koran (with I believe commentaries by noted Islamic Scholars) from the above referenced website. It comes in tar.bz format. Simply unpack it and then click the file named zekr.sh. Unpacking to your SaveFile may not be required. My copy runs from my formated Ext4 /mnt/home partition where it resides along with my copy of e-sword.
If your interested e-Sword, this is how I set it up to run from /mnt/home. I downloaded the current latest version. Sorry I don't recall the link, but you'll find several if you plug "e-sword setup1021.exe" into a search box. It's not the portable version which I couldn't get to run under wine. My wine version is 1.4.1, the installed pet. Wine.org suggests that later versions actually provide greater functionality, but they also have made structural changes which I don't like. At any rate. I clicked the executable and allowed it to install to its default location: /root/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/ creating within that folder a folder called e-sword. Keep the setup file for use with other or later Puppies. As rox is my file-manager, I dragged the e-sword folder from its location under Program Files to /mnt/home and selected Move. I then dragged it back to the Progam Files folder and selected 'Link (absolute). It works fine from that location, --although it takes some time to open-- and has allowed me to install the Jewish Publication Society's "Old Testament", The International Standard Bible –an interpretation written taking into consideration the material discovered in the Qumran Caves-- and The Antiquities of the Jews , a book by Josephus written shortly after the failed rebellion against Rome, 66-73 AD.
The difference between the "Install" and portable version of XP programs is that the latter does not install dlls nor write to windows (or wine's substitute) registry. As I used the "Install" version, at first it would only run from raring, the Pup into which I initially installed it; i.e. clicking the executable in /mnt/home/e-sword while running Precise Pup wouldn't open it. However, once I executed the setup file in Precise, I was able to delete the e-sword folder from Program Files and drag-Link(absolute) the e-sword folder at /mnt/home into precise's /.wine.../Program Files. E-sword not only ran, but included the modules I had installed while running it under raring. The advantage of this technique is that only those files which must be within an installation take up space in my SaveFile.
I'll keep an eye out for applications providing access to the wisdom of "non-Western" religions.

Great way to state this... You must know about others religions to understand and work with others.
there is same type of software and possibly more like the multi year plan to read the whole Hebrew scriptures as websites. That plan is in all major and some minor languages..
Just because this software is based on the way Christians subdivided the Holy Bible I do not expect it would be as usable with others... So quit bashing
save that for off topic area..

I explored the issues of irony and paramnesia in today's contemporary society. I wanted to express someone 'remembering the future' incorporating the compelling sense that you have experienced a new situation previously accompanied with a strange weirdness. Through storyboarding and planning conceptual framework ideas of irony and déjà vu, I compiled the prediction of things to come. To support the notion that art imitates life I selected Electric chair and Green car crash, by pop artist Andy Warhol, as the major components in the character's parallel memory journey. I found the experience enjoyable and hope people find it entertaining and thought-provoking.

We were having a discussion at work a couple of weeks ago about how it's very hard to find good sushi that doesn't cost you an arm and leg in London.
Then out of chance I stumbled across abokado the other day. I was looking for a small (cheap) snack to last me until I got home from my morning of sightseeing and so thought I'd go in and check the place out. Read More »

Great Value for a Great Series April 16, 2012
Av Matthew F.
I'm a huge World War II buff and I bought this on a whim having never seen the series before. And I gotta say, I'm really glad that I did. This is an incredibly in-depth series filled with rarely seen war film footage that really gives you a sense of what it was like. This series is incredibly informative about the events preceding Pearl Harbor and the events following it. This is a great series for any proud American and Historian. I highly recommend it.
