Which Names to Buy Amid an Improving Truck Market
Zain is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
The trucking industry has been in the news recently, especially after the market viewed some optimism in the last earnings season. Performance of this industry is important, as it is a leading indicator of the health of the economy. Recently, some numbers relevant to the trucking industry were released, which can help us understand the industry's performance.
Positive numbers
ACT Research released NAFTA original equipment manufacturer (OEM) build and retail sales data for the month of May, with industry builds coming in at 23,300, up from 22,700 in April but still down from 27,400 in May 2012. May represents the fifth-consecutive month of sequential growth in Class 8 builds (+2.5% month-over-month on a sequential basis). The May data is supportive of the view of a relatively healthy, replacement-driven NAFTA Class 8 market.
Moreover, it suggests that the gradual improvements in monthly build rates thus far in 2013 reflect a NAFTA Class 8 market that seems to be on somewhat firmer footing following a period of choppy/declining builds. Class 8 backlog was flat at 85,800 (vs. 85,700 in April), reflecting order and build rates that have generally trended inline with one another over the past several months and supporting the point of view that orders will need to remain at least in the low 20,000/month range to maintain current backlog levels.
Which companies will benefit?
Positive numbers tell us that the industry is gradually improving but it doesn't tell us which companies are performing well. Let's have a look:
Navistar's (NYSE: NAV) Class 8 retail sales share for May was 12.5% (down from 13.9% in April). Although it is important for Navistar to demonstrate some progress on driving market share improvements over time, it is not unusual for Navistar to have a decline in market share in the first month of its fiscal quarter (Navistar's retail sales share has declined in May in seven out of the previous 10 years, with an average decline of 140 bps over that time period matching the decline in this month's data).
Hence, Navistar's share could remain subdued/choppy in the near term, but the market is cautiously optimistic that as FY 2013 progresses, and especially in FY 2014, Navistar could continue to gradually ramp-up production and retail share with its Cummins' (NYSE: CMI) ISX15L-equipped ProStar as well as with its proprietary 13L-equipped ProStar.
Cummins – The savior
And who can forget Navistar's disastrous engine strategy employed by former CEO Dan Ustian? It was in April that Navistar was finally able to solve its engine problems. The truck maker announced that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) had finally blessed the company's 13-liter engine, which paved the way for customer delivery to begin by April's end.
This wasn't some trivial matter for Navistar, which in the last year and a half ran dead smack into regulatory and legal issues that threatened the life of the company. For those not familiar with the story, Navistar made a big bet on an engine design that failed to win EPA approval and as it started running low on emission "credits," there was a thought Navistar might have to shut down its engine line.
The company, however, received a lifeline from the EPA (which was later thrown out in court) and it used the extra time to redesign its engines and source other engines from Cummins. That kept the lights on and the Illinois-based company is now poised to get its own engines out into the market, hopefully recover some lost market share and keep a few activists (Carl Icahn and Mark Rachesky) at bay.
Cummins itself is inexpensive given that it trades at a forward multiple of 11x only vs. the industry average of 14x. Cummins' stock price is expected to be driven by (1.) higher US truck market share; (2.) higher Brazil truck engine and after-treatment production; (3.) improved power generation operating efficiency following 4Q 2012 production cuts; and (4.) fewer inventory de-stocking headwinds than in 4Q.
Beyond the quarter, the management is expected to raise its full-year sales guidance driven by (1.) higher Navistar after-treatment sales, as current guidance assumes $19 million of sales; (2.) higher US truck market share, which is running 2% to 4% above guidance, and; (3.) higher Brazil truck production forecasts. In the longer term, the earnings estimates are expected to be beaten by over $1 billion of new product sales at well above-average incremental margins.
Only recently, Navistar announced that it has selected Cummins' Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) after-treatment technology for use on its medium-duty engines, available beginning in the first quarter of 2014. Navistar reported production of 46,830 Class 5 through Class 7 trucks in 2012. This is expected to bring in $350 million worth of incremental revenue for Cummins in 2014.
Who took advantage of Navistar's engine problems?
The market knows that the creator of Kenworth and Peterbilt trucks, Paccar (NASDAQ: PCAR), snatched the market share from Navistar after the latter ran into engine problems. As far as May's performance is concerned, Paccar's Class 8 retail sales share for May was 31.2%, an increase from its April share of 29.1%. Paccar's Class 8 builds share was fairly stable (28.5% vs. 28.8% in April) and with Paccar having built over 13,000 NAFTA Class 8 trucks in the first two months of 2Q (vs. 16,700 in all of 1Q), which seems supportive of Paccar's guidance of global production/deliveries +5% to 10% sequentially in 2Q. This despite what could be some still more muted European trends in the near term.
Paccar is considered to be the best-in-class OEM. The stock trades at industry average multiple of 14x. However, currently, it is not on the buy list given that the Street prefers the suppliers over the OEMs. Hence, the Street is more in favor of companies like Cummins and Allison Transmission rather than Navistar and Paccar. Moreover, Paccar has a high European exposure, which doesn't bode well for the company given declining truck registrations in Europe.
Final word
Definitely, the North American trucking market looks bright. Europe has been, and will remain, a potential headwind for the truck players in the near future until the debt crisis is solved. Therefore, for the time being, I will prefer Cummins over Paccar and Navistar (suppliers over OEMs), given that it is more immune to losses in Europe and in a better position to benefit from an improving North American market.

We congratulate all our New York friends for surviving Fashion Week last week. After discovering tons of new designers, we thought we'd go reverse in time to introduce you to a fine lady you may never heard of.
(Elsa studies charts of her new collection, circa 1938.)
It is noted that when Coco Chanel was in the realm of "B-List" (and still coming up the pipe), there was another designer who was the belle of the ball in the 1930's — Elsa Schiaparelli. She was most popular and busy in the period between the World Wars.

Cigarettes have been banned in many areas including jails for sometime now.
An alternative is now being looked at some jails.
Two southern Illinois counties are now letting inmates buy and smoke e-cigarettes.
They produce a vapor instead of a cloud of smoke.
Some jail administrators say adding them to the commissary list has upped morale and reduced violence.
Others say that inmates could try to use the e-cigs as a weapon or could swallow the parts for attention and that it is jail, you lose your freedom and if you want to smoke then don't do something to get arrested.
Saline and White are the two counties in southern Illinois trying it out. Franklin, Wabash and Williamson counties are considering trying it

Albany-- Sixty-eight years after opening, an Albany flower shop has a new location. The locally owned, family business after all these years is still growing.
They still take thorns off roses today, much like they did in 1936 , when Hadden's Flowers opened. Co-owner Anne Gray said "We help a lot of people in difficult times, try to cheer them up when they are sad. And make them excited when they have celebrations."
Orion Hadden opened her flower store in 1936 at 136 Jackson Street. In 1951 they moved to South Slappey, where the Hadden family ran the business until 1984.
Her granddaughter Carlene still works with the business. "The success has been wonderful. And as you know, it's the second oldest shop in Albany."
Anne Gray's father bought Hadden's in 1984, and sold it to her and husband Randy in 1997. Anne Gray said "I grew up in it, it makes it real special to me."
Carlene Hadden says her grandmother opened a flower shop because they were something people wanted in good economic times and bad. It seems that still holds true.
Co-owner Randy Gray said "But while others seem to be suffering some, we seem to be holding our own, anyway." The Grays cut the ribbon in front of Hadden's Flowers and Gifts new location Tuesday morning at 2401 Westgate Drive.
Two families have run the flower shop for 68 years in just four locations. They plan for this to be a permanent home. The Grays say the floral business never withers.

OKLAHOMA CITY, Oklahoma - One of the biggest stakeholders in the local shale boom is doing damage control.
Shares of Chesapeake Energy dropped 15 percent because of disappointing earnings and a new report of potential conflicts of interest involving its CEO.
Reuters says Aubrey McClendon ran a private hedge fund for at least four years that traded in contracts for oil and natural gas commodities that Chesapeake produces.
The report suggests the hedge fund could have influenced McClendon's running of Chesapeake.
"Your mother told you not to believe everything you read or hear for good reason, and that certainly has been the case for the past two weeks. I am deeply sorry for all the distractions of the past two weeks," McClendon said.
McClendon was stripped of his chairmanship after disclosures that he had taken out personal loans to cover his investments in the company's wells.

Wright Hassall launches sports management business
Readers' comments (3)
another firm trying to act as sports lawyers. Why are they liasing with ex footballers to gain an insight about the sports business. Don't they already know there stuff!
I think you'll find its their stuff, rather than there stuff.... That aside I think it is a tricky area to practice in, having done so previously. May be why they have set the business up as a stand alone!
I think you'll find that, unless you're American, it's 'practise', not 'practice'.
Ah, Wright Hassall - great name for a law firm when spoken!

New procedures are being implemented and equipment is being added to cut patient wait times at St. Vincent's Primary Care Clinics.
An electronic medical record system is allowing the clinics to anticipate patient's needs prior to the appointment. It will allow all medical staff to prepare for the patient's visit, and to make it a seamless process from registration to checkout.
"Our patients are our number one focus," said Mary Beth Noe, Clinic Manager for the St. Vincent Physician Network. "We need to focus on our patients first, and we find that if we pre-plan a little bit ahead with them, that they're ready for us and the physicians are ready to see the patients and follow through."
Here's a quick update from Monday's school board meeting.

Getting the Best Student Deals on Laptops
Electronics retailers everywhere have been planning their back-to-school computer sales ever since the start of summer. When retailers are this anxious to sell, usually, it's good news for us consumers. Usually, it can only mean plenty of student deals on laptops. Is that how it really works out this year though?
Certainly, the manufacturers are already announcing all kinds of tempting offers. Apple has a $100 gift voucher that it gives out with every Mac sold the voucher can be redeemed for any kind of iTunes purchase.
Dell has even better student deals on laptops. They actually give you a free Xbox 360. Best Buy has been trying to match that offer as well.
So this year is a bumper crop for student deals on laptops, right?
Well, personal-finance experts don't believe that this is as good as it can get. At the very least, you shouldn't ever venture out to buy anything, until the end of September, they feel. Do that, and you'll push the retailers even further down. It happens every year. From the beginning of summer to the beginning of school, prices drop by around 10% every month.
It's becoming a rule of thumb that you need to keep in mind. These companies know that prices will drop 25% by the time schools reopen. They want to sell as much as they can before prices head that far down. That's why they're offering these freebies. They actually make more money selling you laptops now when prices are high, even if they have to hand out expensive freebies.
Ask any computer retailing experts, and they predict that prices for ultrabooks will usually drop by $100 by the time schools reopen.
If you wait for the last week of July or the first week of August each year, many states even announced sales tax holidays on items such as computers, software and printers. This applies every year. Ms. always look for when the tax holiday starts.
They can also think about the year-round student discount that every manufacturer has. Dell actually has a $100 discount going all year round when you buy directly from them. But you need to be a current student.

Is Home Office Becoming A Poisoned Chalice?
Video: Is Home Office Becoming A Poisoned Chalice?Enlarge
Six years on from being described as "not fit for purpose", the Home Office has yet again been criticised in a report.
What's new? And should we be in any way surprised?
After all, the department - which is responsible for the UK Border Agency, the main target of the Home Affairs Committee's ire - is commonly known to be something of a poisoned chalice.
Yes, the man or woman lucky enough to be made Home Secretary will find themselves an influential, highly visible frontline politician.
The country will become well aware of their views on crime, immigration, public disorder and justice.
An ambitious Home Secretary could conceivably make a play for the top job - were it not for the seemingly endless stream of disasters and crises that make their way to the top of their departmental in-tray.
When John Reid described the immigration system as unfit for purpose in 2006, he had recently replaced Charles Clarke as Home Secretary in a Cabinet reshuffle.
Mr Clarke could not survive in the post following the revelation that over 1,000 foreign national criminals, many convicted of serious offences, had been released without being considered for deportation.
Dr Reid told the Home Affairs Committee in 2006 that his department was "dysfunctional", and that "wholesale transformation" was probably needed.
Six years on and three Home Secretaries later, has anything really changed?
After all, this latest report critical of the UKBA (the third in a year) identifies many similar problems to those afflicting the Home Office a number of years ago.
Foreign criminals not being considered for deportation; immigration cases being "written off" where the applicants cannot be found; a backlog of asylum cases the committee believes will take years to clear.
As damning as anything else, the report suggests UKBA was still "failing to fulfil its basic tasks" - and risked damaging public trust in the Government.
When it comes to immigration, it's unclear how public trust could sink lower than it already has, yet the question that remains unanswered is rather more straightforward: why have these problems not been dealt with?
The department says it has made significant improvements to the management of asylum, and speeded up the deportation process.
Immigration minister Damian Green identifies much of the UKBA's current woes as a historical issue.
"At the same time as clearing up the mistakes of the past, we are taking the action necessary to ensure the same errors will not be allowed to happen in the future," he said.
Two years on from the general election Mr Green must realise that, even given the scale of the problem, blaming it on the last government is now beginning to ring a little hollow.

Kirby Celebrates 20th Anniversary with World Record Attempt
Posted in Nintendo
It's been over 20 years since Kirby was first introduced to us in the Game Boy game, Kirby's Dream Land. The series has been so popular that since then the little pink ball has seen 16 games on various Nintendo systems. To celebrate Kirby's 20th, Nintendo is attempting to break the Guinness World Record for the most people blowing a chewing gum bubble simultaneously. The current record is 304. Nintendo will try to break the record by recruiting attendees that are willing to participate on September 1 between 2-3:00 PM at the PAX Prime Convention in the Washington State Convention Center. Between the bubble gum and the Kirby shirts, there should be a lot of pink in the crowd.

September 27, 2012, 12:26 PM —
REUTERS/Fatih Saribas
Once upon a time, early in my career, I took a programming job with a small web development shop. Not long after starting, I was informed that one of my fellow programmers was a GENIUS. Really, I asked, a GENIUS? Oh yes. VERY smart guy. Way smarter than the rest of us. We're lucky to have him. As I soon found out, though, working with a GENIUS wasn't quite the honor it was cracked up to be. In fact, it turned out to be a real headache.
I was reminded of this person (i.e., the repressed memories came flooding back) after an article in the New York Times about Brilliant Jerks. That article talked about brilliant people who can be very valuable when a startup is trying to get off the ground, then can turn into liabilities (and jerks) once the company finds its footing and begins to mature and grow out of the startup phase. The author speaks about the Brilliant Jerk from the point of view of a company principal (or consultant) who has the power or influence to do something about it.
Reading the article, I realized that I knew a close relative of the Brilliant Jerk - the Genius Programmer. In addition to the aforementioned GENIUS, I ran into this type of programmer now and again during my time in the coding trenches. Unlike the founder of a startup forced to deal with a Brilliant Jerk, though, it's much different dealing with one of these types when you're at an equal or lower level on the org chart.
While Genius Programmers are good at using their big brains to think deep thoughts, in my experience, they often have trouble working in a production environment. Why? Couple of reasons:
Lack of people skills - The classic nerd quality gets taken to a higher level with the Genius Programmer. They don't communicate well (sure, they can opine at length on the root causes of the problems in the Middle East - or The Avengers - but don't bother asking them to write usable documentation), they don't listen well (your opinions are cute and all, but, seriously, <yawn>) and they always - always - know best. Why? Because that's what they've been told forever.
Always rolling their own - Why use an existing product or tool that someone with a smaller brainpan wrote when you can create the next Mona Lisa in Perl?

On Tuesday night an extension cord is to blame for a fire that destroyed a home in central Lubbock. When fire fighters arrived to the 2500 block of 63rd St., the house was fully engulfed. Fire destroyed half of the house and heavy smoke damaged the rest.
No one was home or injured in the blaze, but according to the fire department the cause could've been avoided. The resident had a window unit heat and air cooler plugged into a light weight extension cord and according to the fire department the cord melted.
"What happens is as it heats and cools and heats and cools what happens is that wire will eventually break down the rubber insulation around the wire itself," said Dan Reid, Fire Investigator Inspector. That means your hot extension cord is like a hot coil laying on your carpet.
Fire officials say the house was also lacking adequate smoke detectors, we'll get to that just in a minute, but first there's a lesson to be learned with extension cords.
One thing everyone needs to know is that extension cords are for temporary use only. No matter if you have a light weight cord like a white or brown one or a heavy duty orange one, they are only good temporarily.
For instance a lamp is plugged into an extension cord, but the residents only turn the lamp on at night, then they turn it off. You wouldn't want to plug anything constantly needing energy like a refrigerator or an air conditioner into an extension cord.
But there is an exception, a surge protector with an on off switch means it has a circuit breaker inside. Fire officials say these are fine for more permanent use. But you aren't supposed to plug an extension cord into a surge protector, that defeats the purpose.
Fire officials want us to get one more warning out there: Smoke detectors are our best defense against a fire, they react faster than anyone human can. So remember to check your smoke detectors and place them throughout your house.

A little about me...
I am an easy-going single, I love to cook, write poetry, play acoustic guitar. I make the best coffee in the world. I enjoy a little wine with my lunch, but drink in moderation. I like movies, live theater, and I like to go to auctions, garage sales, antique malls, etc. I am not a Nascar fan, but like to follow football and basketball - but I'm not a fanatic. I like to travel but don't do enough of it. I am an animal and a nature lover: sunrises and sunsets, flowers, birds, trees, walks in the woods, the park, or picnics at the beach, bicycle rides in the country, etc. but think everything would be so much more beautiful if shared with that special someone. I want a lady who won't mind being pampered and spoiled a bit, but who also wants a man to spoil. I am a decent and moral individual who would devote myself totally to the happiness of my one and only. I would not think of cheating on the woman I love - and by the way - I am good at cleaning house and doing dishes!
About the one I'm looking for...
Someone honest and who knows how to respect and treat a man. A good sense of humor, cleanliness, industrious, and having her emotions under control is important to me, as well as being unselfish. I don't mind a lady who will stand up for her rights, and voices her opinions, but not one who wears her feelings on her sleaves and is a grenade ready to go off. I am looking for a good friend and someone to go places and do things with. If you are into body piercings (except for ears) and exposed tattoos you are not for me. Gold diggers need not apply, as I am far from being wealthy. I seek friendship first, and someone who seeks an activity partner to visit antique malls, go to auctions, picnic at the park, take in a movie or the theater, dine together, celebrate life and learn to enjoy each other's company. You don't need to be a Barbie Doll type to be my friend. I am not on here looking for a wife, but you know the old saying: "never say never!"
I'd just like to add...
I love good sit down restaurants - Olive Garden, OutBack, Red Robin, etc. I also love the theater, especially musicals. I like easy listening, oldies, and classical when it comes to music, and I love slow dances. I am tired of the new "country" but do enjoy Bluegrass, Irish, and Celtic music. I love oceans, rivers, lakes and streams. Race is not important to me, but character is. I am semi-retired and if true love blossoms, I am willing to relocate.

Zombies Are People Too...Maybe?1 Reviews
Zombies have taken over the United States. FRERARD!
Exactly 2 months since zombies took over the majority of the United States of America. And my friends and me were driving up to Canada. I was stuck driving the party bus we got. Its about 2:00 am and we are in New York City. I was so bored. Everyone else was asleep. I was driving through central park which looked exactly the same. Minus people waking around. I missed my old life. Even though I was picked on every single day. But now life seemed lonely. Especially without mom and dad. They are somewhere in London. The zombie apocalypse started right after they left to go on vacation. My goal was simply to find them. That is if we make it to Canada alive. There are borders around the United States because nobody wanted the disease to spread. So they trapped us here and left us to die. I heard a scream and stopped the car with a jolt. Waking everyone up.
"Gee, what the fuck?" Ray mumbled. I loaded my gun.
"Where are you going?" Alice asked frantic.
"It sounded like him screaming. What if it is him?" I said about to open the door. Quin reached and slapped my hand away from the door.
"Gee, he is dead meat. I mean you saw the zombie chase him away. Please don't go out." He said. I sighed. The boy we were referring to was my little brother Mikey. I hadn't seen him since 2 weeks ago. He was being chased by a zombie. I wasn't fast enough. He was gone before I could save him. I bit my bottom lip.
"I don't care. Someone needs help out there and I'm not going to just sit here. And I know my brothers scream. Don't try to stop me." I said opening the door.
"Fine. We are coming. We have to stick together." Alice said. I nodded and started running in the direction I heard the scream. Well, until a zombie was right in front of me.
"Motherfuckin shit. it's a-a doctor." I said stumbling. Doctors are one of my biggest fears. Because doctors give shots and shots take b-b-blood. And they are n-needles. I felt faint. The zombie turned around and threw up some blood. I turned and made a run for it. My friends just watched me.
"Shoot it Gerard! Are you stupid?!" I heard Jared scream. I heard the zombie cough up blood the blood splattered onto my cheek. Shit. That meant he was close. Too close.
"Just shoot it for fucks sake! Somebody fucking shoot it!" I yelled. I saw Alice raise a gun but me being the total klutz tripped over a fucking tree branch and did like a flip over it. I saw the zombie coming closer and closer until BOOM. BOOM. Shot in the head twice. Blood. So much blood. My friends all ran over.
"Gerard!" I heard a familiar voice say to me. I used a tree to stand up and turned to see…Mikey. I smiled as he came over but I could see the blood and the dead zombie doctor. I couldn't stop it. I see my brother, who I thought was dead, and threw up on him.
"Ew. That was a warm welcome." Mikey said. I laughed a little but felt weak. I hadn't been eating much and I lost a lot of weight.
"S-sorry Mikes. You know how I get around doctors. And blood. And needles. And-" I started but Mikey cut me off.
"Okay. Don't think about it cause I'd prefer to not be thrown up on again." Mikey said laughing a little. He took off his vomit covered sweatshirt and threw it on the ground. I smiled as he waved to Ray. I threw my arms around him clinging onto him.
"MikeyIcantbelieveyourokay.I'msososososososososohappy.Imissedyoulikeshit." I said really fast. Mikey smiled and hugged back.
"I have no idea what you just said but I missed you Geetard." He said. I smiled and looked at him.
"God. I'm so relieved your safe. But how?" I asked. Mikey smirked.
"Frank helped me." He said.
"Frank?" I said.
"You know Frankie, he used to go to school with us but left to go to Catholic school." Mikey said. I laughed.
"You mean the kid who used to wear ties and suits like everyday. Dude, even your better than him." I said laughing. Mikey pouted.
"Hey, I'm awesome. And besides. Frank isn't like that anymore. He is-" but Frank cut Mikey off.
"Mikey, I just had to fight off like 6 zombies. Where in fucks sake where you." I heard a boy say. I looked behind Mikey and saw the hottest guy ever. He was really short, but sexy. He had black hair with red dye on the sides. And he was wearing black skinnies, a white hans, red converse, and a red, white, and blue bandana sticking out of his back pocket.
"Sorry Frank. I found my friends and my brother." Mikey said. Fuck. That was Frank Iero. My heart melted.
"Oh, really, that's-" Frank looked up and our eyes met. I saw his cheek turn a bit red and I almost died looking at him. He was like walking sex. "g-great." He finished. Mikey smirked.
"Well, I'm gonna go say hi to Ray and others. Have fun you two." Mikey said walking cheerfully to the others grinning.
"I'm Gerard, Mikey's older brother." I said smiling a bit. Frank walked toward me and smirked. Gosh, his smirk was so hot.
"I'm Frank." He said. I coughed a bit and sighed.
"So, where are you headed?" I asked Frank.
"Canada. Then I'm headed to Italy." He said. I nodded. "What about you?" He asked. I felt nauseous still.
"Canada than L-lon-" I couldn't finish. I fell on the ground coughing, feeling like crap.
"Shit man. Are you okay? Please be okay… I've liked you since 9th grade and I thought you were dead and you probably don't remember me but I remember you and just please be okay." He said really fast. I whimpered a bit. Frank sat on the ground in front of me and I lay my head in his lap. I spoke quietly. So, only Frank could hear.
"Frank, why would you like me? I'm a klutz and a diva. And I cant even eat anything without throwing it up." I said. Frank had started stroking my hair.
"Gerard, I don't know if you remember but almost everyday since 10th grade we always hung out. Well, I hung out with Mikey but you were there too. And I would always just be looking at you and thinking wow, he is so amazing. You don't take anyone's shit, you are your own self, and you have a great personality." He said. I smiled a little.
"Gee, if you give me a chance to be with you I promise you I will make you better. I hate seeing you like this." He said. I smiled and took his hand in mine.
"Forever and always." I said. He smiled and kissed my forehead before picking me up. I put my arms around his neck and cuddled into him.
"Gee?! What happened?" I heard Mikey yell.
"Omigod Gee!" Alice said.
"Guys, he is okay. He is just tired and weak." Frankie said.
"Weak?" Mikey questioned.
"He hasn't been eating." Frankie said sniffling.
"Shit." Ray said.
"Called it!" Quinn said.
"Shut the fuck up Quinn!" Gemma said in her thick British accent.
"Guys! How about you all just get your motherfuckin asses on the bus. Jared, you are driving. I'm too weak. I need to rest." I said. They all nodded and followed me and Frank onto the bus. It was great being in charge.
"Nice place you guys got." Mikey said. I felt Frank put me down on a couch. He moved a piece of my hair out of my face and behind my ear.
"Frankie, can I talk to Gee for a minute?" Mikes asked. Frankie nodded smiling at me before getting up and walking over to everyone else.
"Hey Mikes." I said smiling.
"Gee, why aren't you eating?" He asked.
"Mikes, when you went missing all I could do was worry and whenever I ate I would throw up after making myself sick. I-I'm sorry." I said sitting up, still feeling nauseous. I watched Frankie talk to my friends and I smiled.
"Wow, barely ten minutes and your already heads over heels for him." Mikes said. I smiled.
"Love works in weird ways." I said smirking.

The problem comes when people don't actually need it. Say I'm collecting Elemental gear for my Shaman, with a moonkin in the group. Some caster leather drops, and he says pfft, i'm in t9.5. According to the Need system, he'd fit the bracket, and even though it's an upgrade for me and not for him, he gets it. He COULD then trade it to me. Or he could demand gold to trade it. Or he could simply refuse, say L2P u ware male.
The new system should work fine. We'll see how ninjas are able to get around it. I also seems like it won't be working in raids, and lets face it, most serious ninjaing is done in raids, not PUGd hcs.
As for the ninja debuff, it would have to be something that would last several days, or it wouldn't really have much of an impact. There would also be a risk of people using it out of context- say you've had a bad day tanking, your cat jumped on your keyboard/knocked your coffee all over your lap mid-boss (mine's changed me out of bear before), and the people in the group decide to warn other people that you suck by labelling you a ninja. Unlikely I'll admit, but still possible.
Exactly, a major problem with this loot system (especially if it is to be forced) is this part of it:
"classes are limited to their dominant armor type (for example, plate for paladins)"
For example, there is a very large amount of good, even BiS, cloth pieces for Moonkins - yet we won't be able to roll on them for our mainspec if the patch changes stay the same.
That's exactly the reason Blues have to pay attention to everything they say: fanboys cause too much fuzz about everything!
Listen, BiS cloth for moonkin won't drop from Heroics. In fact, you won't even notice anything changed at all, because you and your group will just hit Disenchant every time, so doesn't matter if the loot system is Group Loot, Need-before-Greed or Gimme-my-Pony, it's all the same.
Now, for raids... people will Master Loot it anyway, there is no raid cross-server system and there won't be people from other servers to ninja your loot. And if your guild is half decent, tehre won't be people from out-side the guild as well. So, again, all those changes to loot system have no impact at all. =]
@ Groth: well put.
... and "specced" means what in this context for dual-spec gearing up? Say resto/holy is your main spec but you've popped to your secondary, melee spec for the group (e.g., feral or Enhancement or ret) - will this still allow you to roll on healing gear if it drops?
"The problem comes when people don't actually need it."
Not quite.
The problem comes when I, a mage, have no chance to even think about rolling on a piece of gear because the Raid Leader, also a caster, thought they might like that nice shiny piece of gear for their own purposes.
Of course they don't ask the raid if they can have it.
Not only do I not get even a chance at that piece of loot, I get locked out of doing that same raid until the next week.
While it's true that Moonkin BiS won't drop from heroics, I was just using it to emphasise my point.
However, with ilevel 219 gear already dropping in H ToC, and ilevel 232 gear in H Frozen Halls, you can bet your ass that a lot of people who don't raid much (which is a substantial) will be getting upgrades from this. Heck, I know I'll be taking my alts in to gear them up too.
Unless they've added loot itemised for each class/role at the dominant armour type, this will be an issue for some people.

The Republican Party platform adopted on Monday at the GOP convention includes some very strong wording against abortion: "The unborn child has a fundamental individual right to life which cannot be infringed."
Meanwhile, Rick Santorum received a standing ovation at last night's convention when he said, "I thank God that one party lifts up its hands to raise children, born and unborn."
But most women we've talked to at the GOP convention don't want to talk about abortion, and they don't really want their president or their party talking about it either. Check out our video interviews on the subject after the jump -- then tell us what you think in the comments.
It's safe to say that a vast number of Republican women are personally opposed to abortion.
Yet a surprising number of GOP moms we spoke with at the Republican Convention added that they wouldn't want to tell another woman what choice she should make regarding abortion, and they don't necessarily believe that their party or their president should, either.
All of the Republican women we talked to agreed that abortion is not what the nation should be talking about now. Instead, they want the media -- and the candidates -- to focus on the economy and the creation of jobs.
The issue of abortion, many GOP women told us, has already been determined by the Supreme Court. It appears that Mitt Romney agrees with them. In a Monday night interview, he told CBS News: "This is a matter of the courts. It's been settled for some time by the courts."
Maybe the Republican Party should take note.
What do you think of the GOP's position on abortion?
I think Santorum is an asshat for his little comment there, by implying anyone who isn't a republican doesn't care about children. I am SO happy he's not a potential president.
Momknowsbest - Actually, she's saying that maybe the Republicans should listen to Romney. This wasn't an attack on him.
The attention is not ONLY on abortion here because Republican men and women realize that there are more dire issues right now...like trying to keep Obama from running this country into the ground for 4 more years. Sometimes, social issues need to take a back seat for a bit when this country's prosperity and well-being is at stake. This is something the stir bloggers are not intelligent enough to realize.
I like Romney's response. I am pro-choice and I agree that this was decided by the courts long ago and shouldn't be the hot topic right now with the economy as poor as it is.
I agree that it should be in the courts. It should have NOTHING to do with politics.

Crazy things my kid eats, and a happy visit
Benjamin shifted into super impulsive mode this holiday weekend, as he often does when he's off school for too long. Every time you go to the bathroom or run upstairs or blink, he's at it again—scaling the kitchen counters, ransacking the freezer, dragging the step stool over to various hard-to-reach spots.
It is impossible to put into words how frustrating it is to say "No fridge!" 25 times in ten minutes, or to find your giggly eight year old coated in almond butter, just inches from your brand-new sofa. I can, though, provide you with a list of some of the things Benjamin was thankful to get into this Thanskgiving.
1. Salt
2. Infant toothpaste
3. Sprinkles (pilfered from my neighbor's pantry—he snuck into their place while we were playing basketball on their driveway).
4. Turkey pan drippings
5. Chicken cutlets, which would have been sort of okay if he'd eaten them in their entirety, instead of just picking off the breading.
7. Makeup (which, to be fair, I don't think he ate. But it was still pretty messy.)
8. Tahini
9. All of my tic tacs
10. A very large box of Cheerios
The exasperation lifted today when I saw the smile that spread across his face the moment he processed that Atara, his former occupational therapist, was in our house. True love, I tell you.
They even practiced handwriting, just like old times.

ELECTRONIC CIGARETTES have the potential to improve public health if adults use them instead of regular tobacco — but not if they end up hooking young people on nicotine. Unfortunately, the ambiguous regulatory status of so-called e-cigarettes makes it possible for manufacturers to run marketing campaigns clearly aimed at young Americans. If federal regulators can't or won't make sure these products don't end up creating more smokers than they cure, states like Massachusetts should.
E-cigarettes are reusable devices that deliver nicotine in vapor form, but not other carcinogens found in traditional tobacco products. Their manufacturers tout them as a tool to help smokers quit. It's noteworthy, though, that one of the country's three largest tobacco firms is among the leading makers of e-cigarettes, the other two tobacco giants plan to enter the market, and promotional efforts in this area have a distinctly youthful tone.

It was an honor to see this. It was on my first server, Aman'thul, but I was too low to watch. Still, I got to participate in the server-wide glitches that followed (two boat glitches - once it appeared in Stonetalon, and another time it simply vanished beneath me dumping me and a druid into the ocean - and a number of server crashes) and camped a couple of crystals.
I still longed to see it first hand.
When I moved to Moon Guard I wasn't counting on being able to see it - I live in Oceania, so it could be that it happened during school hours. I was extremely lucky it took place at about four or five in the morning. Being a huge geek, I was so excited I couldn't sleep all night, and finally got to see it first hand on my level 55 warlock. Hung out there with guildies and /danced. People everywhere.
My mother didn't know I'd been up all night but she took one look at my exhausted face hours later and declared I wasn't going to school. Score! I conked out for a while and I woke up just in time to watch the event end with Saurfang. Another stroke of luck!
It's a shame Blizz aren't going to do any more of these. Yeah, they broke the servers - but that was part of the fun!

The newest Ferrari in the Sherman Wolf estate that is up for auction at Pebble Beach on August 18th and 19th, 2012 is this 1985 Ferrari 288 GTO. The 288 GTO saw very limited production, as its models were only produced to allow homologation into FIA Group B Series. To get into this series, Ferrari had to build at least 200 models, but went a little further and created 272 examples.
FIA canceled the series, which resulted in the 288 GTO becoming a road car that was sold to the public. This 288 GTO example only has two previous owners, Wolf and Ronald Stern, and boasts just 6,000 miles. The body is coated in a bright red that looks like it just rolled off of the showroom floor, though there is no mention of a restoration.
Behind the driver sits a 2.8-liter V-8 engine that boasts a pair of IHI turbochargers and Weber-Mareli fuel injection. This engine pumps out 395 horsepower at 7,000 rpm and 366 pound-feet of torque at 3,800 rpm. From 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph), the 288 GTO takes only 4.8 seconds. Add on an additional 4.4 seconds and you are at 160 km/h (100 mph). It runs the 1/4-mile in just 12.7 seconds and has a top speed of 305 km/h (190 mph).
On the front and rear, you get independent double-wishbone suspensions with coil springs. In addition, you also get 225/50R16 high-performance tires on the front, 255/50R16 tires on the rear, and vented disc brakes all the way around.
Gooding & Company expects this Ferrari to pull in between $750,000 and $900,000 at auction.

"Sherman Wolf was one of the most earnest and generous Ferrari enthusiasts I've ever known and he is dearly missed by many friends in the collecting community," says David Gooding, President and founder
of Gooding & Company. "We are honored to offer his stunning collection for the next generation to continue his legacy of passion and admiration for these extraordinary Ferraris."
A lifelong Ferrari devotee who passed away earlier this year, Sherman Wolf was revered and loved by his friends in the car community for his enthusiasm and dedication to the hobby. He had a passion for collecting and repairing antique radios, clocks and cars, driven by his natural engineering talents and business innovation with two-way radios. When it came to cars, he was often the enthusiastic participant
in road rallies – such as the Mille Miglia, Colorado Grand and Tour Auto – who helped repair other drivers' cars out of good will.
The Ferraris of Sherman M. Wolf
1960 Ferrari 250 GT LWB Alloy California Spider Competizione (Chassis 1639 GT)
Ferrari's California Spider is widely recognized as one of the greatest sports cars of all time and thus an important inclusion in any premier post-war collection. This 1960 Ferrari 250 GT LWB Alloy California
Spider, chassis 1639 GT, is one of only nine alloy-bodied LWB California Spiders ever built and with ultra-desirable covered headlights and full race specifications, this beautiful sports car is even more rare. When new, this car was delivered to the prestigious Illinois-based Ferrari dealer and racer George Reed and displayed at the 1960 Chicago Auto Show. In the late 1970s, Sherman Wolf purchased the California Spider, a significant acquisition for the first-time Ferrari owner who later drove it on the inaugural
Colorado Grand. In addition to its lightweight alloy body, it is equipped with full competition specifications including an outside plug motor with TR heads, disc brakes, velocity stacks and a ribbed
gearbox. Restored by Ferrari specialist David Carte, this alloy-bodied California Spider remains in show condition and is among the most desirable 250 Ferraris in existence. Its estimate is $7–$9 million.
1953 Ferrari 340 MM Competition Spider by Vignale (Chassis 0350 AM)
The 340 MM was the ultimate variant of the 340 series, which began in 1950 with the 340 America. A rare Ferrari indeed, Sherman Wolf's 0350 AM is the last of ten 340 MMs as well as the last of five 340
MM Spiders bodied by Vignale. This car was sold new, in a two-tone American racing scheme, to Sterling Edwards, a famous California sportsman and chairman of the Pebble Beach Road Races Committee. After picking up the car in Italy while on his honeymoon, Edwards returned to the US and raced it throughout 1953 and 1954, winning at Pebble Beach, Palm Springs, Stead AFB and Seafair. In
1955, Los Angeles race car driver Tom Bamford purchased the 340 MM, which he drove in local races through 1955. Sherman Wolf gained ownership of the Ferrari in 1984 and enjoyed taking it on longdistance tours, including the Mille Miglia Storica and Colorado Grand. Gooding & Company is offering the 340 MM at auction with its unrestored, matching-numbers engine. Its estimate is $4.5–$6.5 million.
1957 Ferrari 500 TRC by Scaglietti (Chassis 0662 MDTR)
Ferrari's 500 TRC is widely recognized as one of the most beautiful Ferrari sports racing cars ever built. One of nineteen 500 TRC's built, this 1957 example was delivered new to sports racing pioneer John von Neumann. Von Neumann raced it briefly before he sold the car to Dr. Frank Becker of Washington, who competed with the 500 TRC successfully throughout the US in the 1950s. Eventually the Ferrari was sold to Thor Thorson and then Sherman Wolf, who has since owned it for 20 years. A Monterey Historics and Colorado Grand participant, this rare, matching-numbers vintage racer remains an exquisite example of one of Ferrari's most celebrated race cars. Its estimate is $3.75–$4.5 million.
1985 Ferrari 288 GTO (Chassis 52469)
Designed by Pininfarina and coachbuilt by Scaglietti, the 1985 Ferrari 288 GTO being offered was first sold to Ferrari collector Ronald Stern of London just before Sherman Wolf acquired it the same year. Only 272 examples of Ferrari's first limited-production supercar were built, and this 288 GTO is a US Federalized example equipped with its original books and tools, as well as air-conditioning and power
windows, which were the only options available at the time. With just 6,000 miles from new, Sherman Wolf's original, two-owner 288 GTO has an estimate of $750,000–$900,000.

Justin Bieber has avoided felony charges in connection with a claim that he tried to steal a woman's cellphone at a Sherman Oaks, California, entertainment complex last month. However, he's not off the hook yet.
The Los Angeles County district attorney's office is referring the case to the city attorney's office, which will consider whether Justin should be charged with a misdemeanor, the Los Angeles Times reports.
The alleged victim claimed Justin accused her of snapping pictures of him. He demanded to see her cellphone, she said, and when she refused, he allegedly reached into her purse and snatched it. She said she subsequently unlocked her phone and showed him that she hadn't taken any pictures of him.

Reflections From the Pool
What could be more summertime than an afternoon at the pool? Growing up in rural North Dakota, my brothers and I spent entire summers at our community pool. We would walk barefoot over the railroad tracks, past the grain elevator, past the Ford garage, and into the sparkling blue paradise of the Hatton pool.
After several hours of swimming, dunking, and diving, the draconian whistle-wielding teenagers would call the dreaded Break Time, and we would be forced to the concrete to first shiver then warm in the sun.
The lifeguards were kids too, of course, but we didn't know that. They were the authority figures with zinc oxide noses, and had the power to kick kids out for the day (or the entire summer for particularly heinous offenses). I was never kicked out since I appeared to be a good kid, but you should know, O Reader, that I lit the fuses of my share of smoke bombs in those days.
Friendships were forged, girls were impressed, and time was wasted. The summer stretched out ahead of us like a prairie horizon, with school and its responsibilities barely visible in the distance. We would have to leave when the pool closed and go home for supper, but we would return for several hours in the evening and could look forward to swimming lessons the next morning.
Oh halcyon day of youth, where hast thou gone? Oh. Here you are. We get to do it again, only this time, I'm the authority figure; telling Baby Boots to kick kick kick, showing him how to blow bubbles, and dunking him when the lifeguards aren't looking. I would hate to get kicked out for the summer.

Lil Wayne beats Elvis Presley's chart record on birthday
Presley managed to hold on to the honor from the chart's launch in 1958, but now the Lollipop hitmaker has outdone him with his appearance on The Game's song Celebration, which debuted at number 82 this week (begs24Sep12).
The rock 'n' roll legend is now one behind Lil Wayne's 109 entries, which sets a new record for a solo artist.
The triumph is down to the hip-hop star's regular guest spots on records, including tracks by Juvenile and Destiny's Child, as well as his solo hits.

Themer wowed us with its introduction a few months back, and today's update to the powerful homescreen replacement and customization app is the largest yet. The biggest change is a redesigned app drawer, which allows for both the standard scrolling view and a new Categories screen. Categories are basically folders, but they're displayed like Google Now cards, and automatically populated with apps. You can manually tweak them if you want.
App drawers suck. Okay, that may not be universally true, but for the sake of this hands-on, lets all agree on this premise. Once we install apps from the Play Store, it takes way too long to find them, and once we're done, it can be bothersome trying to remember which app we installed before that one. After a couple of months, that clean app drawer can grow to become six, seven, and even eight pages long.
Are you ready for some hot app drawer action?

Associate professor and chair of Samford University's Department of Physical Therapy, Matthew P. Ford, PT, PhD, received the America Physical Therapy Association's Chattanooga Research Award during the association's NEXT Conference & Exposition held in Charlotte, North Carolina, June 11-14, 2014.
Ford has served on the School of Health Professions faculty since December 2013. The research article for which he won the award appeared in the April 2013 issue of Physical Therapy and is titled "Comparative Utility of the BESTest, Mini-BESTest, and Brief-BESTest for Predicting Falls in Individuals with Parkinson Disease: a Cohort Study."
"It was a nice honor to receive this award," said Ford. "We thought the message in this paper was very useful to physical therapists working with persons with Parkinson Disease and it's great to see that colleagues agree with us."
The Chattanooga Research Award honors individuals who publish the best articles on physical therapy research in Physical Therapy. Articles must demonstrate a significant contribution to physical therapy, present a novel and innovative research study or theoretical model that addresses an important area of physical therapy, have a clearly stated purpose with supportive rationale and appropriate methodology, and clearly present the results and/or theoretical framework with appropriate discussion of application and impact on clinical practice or future physical therapy research.
Samford's Department of Physical Therapy is now accepting applications for its first cohort of students, set to begin in summer 2015. To learn more about the program and admission, visit www.samford.edu/physicaltherapy.
The Department of Physical Therapy in Samford University's School of Health Professions is now accepting applications for the inaugural cohort in the Doctor of Physical Therapy (D.P.T.) program*. Accepted students will begin courses in summer 2015.
Admission to the D.P.T. program is highly competitive based on GPA and GRE scores. Applicants must hold a baccalaureate degree or be in their senior year of undergraduate study and must meet course prerequisites and other criteria outlined on the department's website. All applicants will apply online through Samford's Central Application System.
The D.P.T. is a three-year program defined by three core traits: teamwork, technology and service. Health care today is increasingly provided by teams of professionals and D.P.T. students will learn by working in collaboration with people from a variety of programs. Lectures, labs and clinical experiences will utilize the latest technology for education and support while providing care. Service is at the heart of all activities within the department, thus students will be provided numerous opportunities to use their skills and talents to make the lives of people better.
"The curriculum and department-related activities are rooted in Samford's core values," said Matthew P. Ford, associate professor and chair of the Department of Physical Therapy. "Foremost will be service to God, to family, to one another and to the community. We are committed to promoting personal and professional growth, with the aim that each graduate becomes a service leader in his or her community," Ford added.
To learn more about the D.P.T. program, please visit http://www.samford.edu/healthprofessions/physical-therapy.
Samford professor Alan P. Jung, chair of the kinesiology department, uses a treadmill instead of a chair and desk at his primary workstation. The purpose is not to exercise, but rather to reduce sitting time.
According to Dr. Jung, recent research suggests that sitting time is an independent risk factor for heart disease. "What this means is that increased sitting time increases the risk of heart disease even if you exercise that day," he said. "Much like exercise does not undo the damage done by smoking, exercise also does not undo the damage done by prolonged sitting. I still exercise each day."
Although located at his primary workstation, the treadmill is not necessarily Jung's chair. It replaces the chair and allows him to walk while he works. "It is similar to a standup desk, except I am walking rather than simply standing," he said.
"I feel like I have more energy at the end of the day because I walk," he said. "In the past, prolonged sitting has caused back pain and leg pain, but that has gone away since I have started walking at my desk."
The most difficult task Jung faces is getting students and employees to exercise. "There are too many factors to name, but a few include time, motivation and knowledge," he said.
Jung, a Samford faculty member since 2006, earned his bachelor's degree from James Madison University, master's in exercise science from Appalachian State University and Ph.D. in exercise physiology from the University of Alabama.
Dr. Matthew P. Ford
joined the College of
Health Sciences as
associate professor
and chair of the
Department of
Physical Therapy in
December 2013. Prior
to this appointment,
he served on faculty at
Saint Francis University in Loretto, Pa. and the University of Alabama at Birmingham.
He is a research associate at the Lakeshore Foundation and for the past decade has been conducting research aimed at helping individuals with physical disabilities. He is involved in three areas of research related to Parkinson's disease: tracking the changes in physical activity and health, comprehensive health and wellness programs and the use of music and external rhythms during mobility training. Ford also serves on the board of directors for the Davis Phinney Foundation.
Margaret L. Johnson, SLP.D., CCCSLP, joined the College of Health Sciences as associate professor and chair of the Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders in August 2013. She has more than 25 years of clinical experience in neurogenic speechlanguage pathology and currently practices at the University of Alabama at Birmingham in the area of aphasia.
Dr. Johnson spent 18 years in the Communication Sciences and Disorders Department at the University of Montevallo as an assistant professor and eventually as acting chair.
An article written by Johnson and colleagues describing a therapy technique utilized for individuals with aphasia was featured in the December 2013 issue of the American Journal of Speech Language Pathology.
Johnson is an ASHA fellow and has served in leadership roles for local, state and national professional organizations. Among other honors, she has received the Outstanding Graduate Teaching Award presented by the University of Montevallo, and the Speech and Hearing Association of Alabama's Distinguished Clinical Achievement Award.
Graduation from a physical therapist education program accredited by the Commission on Accreditation in Physical Therapy Education (CAPTE), 1111 North Fairfax Street, Alexandria, VA 22314; phone; 703-706-3245; firstname.lastname@example.com is necessary for eligibility to sit for the licensure examination, which is required in all states.
Samford University is seeking accreditation of a new physical therapist education program from CAPTE. The program will submit an Application for Candidacy, which is the formal application required in the pre-accreditation stage. Submission of this document does not assure that the program will be granted Candidate for Accreditation status. Achievement of Candidate for Accreditation status is required prior to implementation of the professional phase of the program; therefore, no students may be enrolled in professional courses until Candidate for Accreditation status has been achieved. Further, though achievement of Candidate for Accreditation status signifies satisfactory progress toward accreditation, it does not assure that the program will be granted accreditation.

April 6, 9:20 a.m.
Today is the last day of magazine production and the last before the Super Bee needs to drive to Las Vegas. We lit the Hemi so Finnegan could bask in it, and the car huffed black smoke, stinking up the entire office. Mixture screws had no effect, and Finnegan figured out that the air bleeds were blocked with bits of packing material. Fixed.
April 6, 4:12 p.m.
The Bee became insured for street use for the first time since 1993.
April 6, 11:49 p.m.
After magazine work, we finally started wrenching at 10:00 p.m. Almost two hours later, it happened: We drove the Super Bee for the first time this century. That amazing moment was hosed by the sight of water streaming from the ends of both cylinder heads. That hadn't happened on the dyno, but a dyno doesn't have a pressurized cooling system. For the first time, we seriously questioned if we'd finish in time.
April 7, 12:19 a.m.
Stunned by the head gasket snafu, we assumed the problem would go away if we didn't look at it. Test-fitting the VFN fiberglass hood was a nice distraction—especially so because it fit shockingly well and because no one died as we removed the stock hood springs.
April 7, 1:07 p.m.
What to do when you're still in denial about failed head gaskets and need to drive a car 300 miles starting in nine hours? You wire the nitrous system! Seriously.
April 7, 3:00 a.m.
Facing no option, we pulled off the valve covers—a 30-minute task for each—and retorqued the head studs we could get to, which did not include those in the lifter valley because there was no chance we'd ever again remove the intake. Amazingly, it worked. God likes us.
April 7, 4:30 a.m.
There are a number of niceties we could work on—like finishing the hood—but we could drive away now if we had to. After being awake nearly 24 hours, we crashed for two hours on the shop sofas.
April 7, 6:40 a.m. to 12:20 p.m.
Through a haze of NOS energy drink, cold pizza, and bleary eyes, we staggered through final fitment of the VFN hood and the AAR bolt-on '68 Hemi Super Stock scoop, expertly cutting a hole for the K&N air filter that was way too tall. Kinnan delivered a 14x3 air cleaner from home. Then we found the brake lights didn't work and made Grant handle it since he'd slept in his own bed. We packed, installed a FAST air/fuel reader, wired an accessory plug for our cell phones, and stared into space as the departure time from Glendora Dodge came and went.
We called and said we'd catch up with the pack in Barstow, and just after noon—with only three laps around the block as a test run—the Rumble Bee barked to life and we pointed it north.
Read about that next month.
