Winter tip: if you are flying here, we recommend renting a four wheel drive car. One of our recent guests requested one but it was not available when he arrived so he got a front wheel drive substitute . . . which he greatly regretted when we got a lot of snow during his visit. Be sure to insist on no substitutions for your four wheel drive car. None of the rental car companies have winter tires for some unfathomable reason but four wheel drive will help you get around much more safely. Remember, you are coming to the mountains of northern New England: we get a LOT of snow.

Does a Full Democracy has a limit of people that it reaches and it starts being counterproductive...
I have the idea that you can have as many people in a democracy and it would be a best fair system possible. But the time it takes to have everyone's thought and opinion counted for can be reasonable if you have few enough people, have too many and it takes much longer and is more counterproductive. To a point (Like the United States Of America) a Republic of elected leaders is much more reasonable and would work better, while still getting the job at hand done. It would be absolutely insane to count everyone's vote in a large place like the US every time we think of attacking another nation or proposing a law.
Jul 11 2013: This is relevant to the situation in Europe. Most European countries worked fairly well as democracies until the European project. A major complaint about the EU is the absence of democracy.Jul 2 2013: and how many times the representative we have voted for the congress or parliament is taking decisions that are against our believes or interests...Jul 2 2013: The revision of Constitution in Iceland the past years is a perfect example.... Sometimes time and speed are not important when civil rights are concerned .. I wonder what the results would of a referendum in USA in starting a new war in Iraq...
p p
Jun 30 2013: "By definition, a republic is a representative form of government that is ruled according to a charter, or constitution, and a democracy is a government that is ruled according to the will of the majority.... The main difference between a republic and a democracy is the charter or constitution that limits power in a republic, often to protect the individual's rights against the desires of the majority. In a true democracy, the majority rules in all cases, regardless of any consequences for individuals or for those who are not in the majority on an issue."

It is obvious to me that we are beating the wrong drum. A Democracy obviously has the potential for corruption. Whereas a Republic is governed by a single standard which protects everyone. A Republic gives everyone a vote which is then put under the light of the Charter/Constitution to ensure the rights of the individual. It works where Democracy fails. It fails when it is allowed to be corrupted by Democracy.
And in this day and age of global communication it is possible for all who would have a say to be heard.Jun 23 2013: Read TED conversation on E 2 D (electronic direct Democratic Party). Intriguing conversation and possibilities?Jun 22 2013: "Perfection of means and confusion of goals seem—in my opinion—to characterize our age." (Albert Einstein)
Should we choose a simple way of governing, with few people speaking for the many, or a more complicated one, where the many would speak for themselves? If that is what you are asking, I would answer without any hesitation that the most preferable form of government is obviously the latter. We should by no means choose simplicity over democracy, just because we lack either the imagination or the guts to change our political institutions to fit a political system where everyone could speak their mind and not be rendered mute by the influential, yet not always right, voices of those with concentrated power and wealth. It would be a tragic mistake to give up on real democracy, i.e "government of the people, by the people, for the people", just for simplicity's sake. After all, more than two centuries of both theory and practice have proven that the so called democracies of the modern industrialised world are nothing but hogwash, allowing the rich fully control the poor and, eventually, destroying the essence of the word democracy. As years go by it becomes more and more obvious that it is up to the people to make the move and change everything that "is rotten in the state of Denmark".

Jun 20 2013: There is a limit of people for a Full Democracy to be productive... right now the limit is about 7 billion people. It is expected in the future to increase to 9 billion people where it will reach a plateau.

Watch some documentaries on how ants and bees "vote" for the best course of action for the colony (namely the "waggle dance" and the "chemical trails") and you will revise your thoughts about the feasibility of decentralized decision making and the limits of a full democracy.Jun 20 2013: Wait for Neocracy...
As every philosophy evolves and changes with time so will democracy.
Some times a new philosophy is born.
Jun 22 2013: Well, philosophy does evolve and new theories are born as years progress, but should we "wait"? It is not like philosophical theories create themselves. People have to create them first, and it is people who do not wait, but instead strive for change and progress that create them. And another thing: even if democracy does change over time, even if it is replaced but what you called "neocracy", wouldn't the essence be the same? I mean a name cannot change the meaning behind it, and, whether people like it or not, a democratic state will always be the perfect state: the state where people make the decisions that affect their lives, and do not give this enormous power to the few, or the one.
Jun 22 2013: People living under monarchy also believed that they are living in a perfect system.
Nothing is perfect for all times to come.
Jun 22 2013: I never said that democracy is absolutely perfect, but, relatively, it cannot be compared either to oligarchy or monarchy. The rule of the many will always, and I do mean always, be preferable to the rule of the few or the one. By the way don't be so sure that people who lived under monarchy were happy about it - excluding of course all those favoured by the court. I am quite sure that people who lived in poverty their whole lives and starved to death in order for their "beloved" king or queen to sustain their ten foot long belly didn't feel like they were living in some kind of dream state.

Jun 22 2013: poor people in my country have no voice, no rights........our democratic country is run by few powerful and corrupt elected politicians......a worst joke is being played here in the name of democracy.

It is not the failure of democracy as a philosophy but its application.
In today's world there appears to be no better system than democracy . But we need a system which canot be exploited by a few .powerful and corrupt people. A system which has inbuilt strength and character which can withstand manipulation by few.
Jun 23 2013: Well it's true what you say about many so called democratic states being corrupt and not democratic at all. Indeed democracy is very unstable and easy to exploit. It's vulnerability is rooted in the fact that power is equally distributed amongst all citizens and not concentrated on the wealthy few. Its not being authoritarian means that some citizens in their effort to rise to power might subtly exploit this weakness by earning the trust of parts of the population in order to establish their own rule, be it tyranny or military dictatorship. However, this is not democracy's fault - it is its flaw (as I said democracy is relatively perfect). In reality the blame lies with the people, since they are the ones who have the power and, therefore, they are the ones who should strive to preserve it. Democracy is the fairest, yet the hardest and least endurable political system of them all. It requires the relentless alertness of the people, who act as its "guardian angels". The well known quote sums it up perfectly: "With great power comes great responsibility". People who live in a democracy can enjoy its numerous advantages, namely freedom, equality, etc., but they also need to struggle to fix its flaws, i.e. the fact that democracy at some point is almost doomed to "commit suicide'. Having said that I would like to point out that, even though democracy in the real world is not all it's cracked up to be, it is also quite utopian to believe that a system as fair to the people as democracy and as stable and powerful as monarchy could ever exist. Strength can only accompany the rule of the few or the one, and fairness the rule of the many. It is up to us to choose which one we want. But if we do choose the latter, we must be ready to struggle to keep it alive. Only people concious of their freedom can ever live in a real democracy, like the one in ancient Greece, where the government and the people were one and the same. It is up to the people to keep democracy alive.Jun 22 2013: The only thing wrong with this concept is that as participants in democcracy increases, we give our votes to "representatives" who may or may not look to solutions which are in our best interest. Because of this, perhaps rulership by plutocracy becomes inevitable? Is that not what has happened in the US? Perhaps the only solution lies in revolution and a rebirth of democracy...as evidenced by history.
Jun 23 2013: I couldn't agree more with what you just said. In fact that was part of my point. Indeed, as the population increases, democracy starts to weaken, since the need for representation of the people arises and the idea of direct democracy is gradually forsaken. However, as I said, this is not democracy's fault, since this indirect democracy is just the façade of oligarchy (or plutocracy if you prefer). If we really want to revive real democracy we need to change all those institutions that favour the rich and powerful and replace them with ones which would allow everyone to participate in the decision making process. In other words a "rebirth of democracy" is the only thing that could lead to a world where people of all classes could be part of the political system and share the power together.Jun 20 2013: We know from Amana that after about 200 there start being problems.Jun 19 2013: When you have a currency based society the larger the worse

Well don't everyone post at once.
I guess I'll lay out the one that is on the top of my list currently, I've talked about it a few times, might as well put some pictures up. I should have her running in about another month.
Its a 1970 3/4ton Chevy Longhorn.
To give you an idea how long this thing actually is (about an inch short of 20') That is a 17.5' trailer. It hung off the front, and back.
I bought it from a hot rod shop I worked at for a while, for $500, w/o a motor or transmission. Dana 60 rear end, with 4.11's, all brakes, interior, etc was there, only missing power train. Fast forward 2 years.
It is sitting in a locked storage yard, behind an ex girlfriends dads shop. (I pay rent...its safe.)
After working at jobs that lacked either pay, hours, steady employment, or a combination, I got the job I have now at an emission testing station, about 3 miles from my house. I also get a decent paycheck. This financed the following:
It was (at the time) a 454 of unknown history, that drove into the yard under its own power...but should be checked out...oil pressure was acting funny. I did a compression check, leak down of less than 7% on all slugs. Awesome. I can live with that. Pulled a main cap off...could have made smoother bearings with a chainsaw. The engine BUILDER knew what he was doing. The guy he sold it to, didn't prime it, and it had maybe 100 miles on it, is my guess. Still had good crosshatch in the cylinders.
It is now, a freshly rebuilt (and as of today about 5 hours ago) 468ci mill. I have a dyno session set up, to break in the cam, as well as figure out how much power it actually makes. That should be happening on the 23rd of this month.
I also rebuilt the transmission, and installed a TransGo re-programmer kit. Picked up a fully brazed RV converter (should be around 1400-1600 stall...which I hope will be the start of the power band) This isn't the first trans I've put together, and I think I'll be pretty happy with it. I did some adjusting, and I'll be able to hold manual low until everything else fails, if I wanted to.
Now, pictures when my hands were clean enough to grab a camera, or in most cases, my cell phone.
Cam install:
Test fitting the crank, pastigage clearance time:
Rotating assembly finished:
Bottom end buttoned up:
Heads ported, lapping valves:
Heads finished, assembling valve springs:
Valve adjusting, in progress:
Valves adjusted:
Checking headers and valve covers:
Headers shaved (notice air injection bungs are now gone) Headers wrapped, dizzy stabbed, wires routed, accessories mounted:
Finishing up shift kit on the TH400:
Parts used:
.060 over 454
Factory 113cc large oval port heads (now gasket matched/ mildly ported)
Scat cast steel 4.00" crank
Factory connecting rods, w/ARP rod bolts
Comp double roller timing chain
King main and rod bearings
New cam bearings (forgot brand)
Melling high volume oil pump
Factory 8qt dually oil pan
ARP oil pump shaft
Edelbrock #7162 cam, with hydraulic lifters
Edelbrock intake
Edelbrock valve springs, keepers, and retainers
3/8" Chromoly pushrods
Comp cams pushrod guide plates
Crane cams full roller rockers
Weiand water pump
Doug Thorley tri y headers (smog equipment shaved)
upgraded HEI distributor
Holley 130GPH fuel pump
MSD plug wires
Felpro gaskets
ARP engine fasteners
SFI approved flexplate and harmonic balancer
I'm going to be buying the carb from the guy I'm having dyno the engine. Currently planning on an 850 Speed Demon.
As soon as the motor is in the truck, I have 2 major things left. 1, install the painless products wiring harness I bought. 2, install a new gas tank, and run new fuel lines.
Should be a pretty decent truck when I get it running. I'm hoping for around 500hp, and 500ft lbs of torque. Based on the parts I have, I should be right about that. The powerband should be right around 1500-6000 area.
I'm just happy this thing will finally be running around!Precision is only as important as the project...if you're building a rocket ship...1/64" would matter. If you're building a sledgehammer...an 1/8" probably wont.

Hi buddy... I watch the pics ! They were great ... Good !
Neat Project!!!!
I lived in the hot and dry areas for many years NM and CA..... now live in the Rust belt PA...... how easily spoiled I was by the availability of Rust free shells.... here a truck of that vintage would be swiss cheese.... there the interior would be sunburnt but factory paint would still look fresh on the underside...
Very cool and unusual truck.... is that a 9ft Camper special bed? keep sending pics as it progresses...

Yep, it is a C20 Camper Special...8'6" on the bed. It has an 8 leaf spring pack, with a 1/2" thick helper spring on the rear axle. Its definitely got a bunch of support back there. It has independent front suspension, A arms and coil springs. Old school...but it works.
I need to do a little checking, and see if I can use a newer 3/4 ton spindle with those A arms, or if the A arms are the same dimension on the new trucks. I would love to lift it about 2 or 3 inches, and put a set of 33, or 35" tires under it...but other than fabricating my own control arms, I'm probably SOL.
There are plenty of people that said "Oh you should go short bed with that thing!"
I bought it cuz its...well...Huge. I want to be able to haul stuff around. I wanted something that not every body had. I figured this fit the bill for both.
Thanks for the kind words guys.Precision is only as important as the project...if you're building a rocket ship...1/64" would matter. If you're building a sledgehammer...an 1/8" probably wont.
Drop Spindles....
On Fire
spindle upgrade kit w/Large Disk Brake upgrade probably work with your lift....
Correct me if I am wrong but if my memory serves me right,,, the easiest way to lift 2wd trucks of that vintage for larger tire clearence without messing up suspension geometry was to get a set of tall urethane body & bed mounting biscuits and longer bolts... some of the kits also had linkage extenders..
See what ya think....
hope this helps
BTW... this should make a unique as well as really useful project truck...

I bookmarked that, but I dont know that I'll end up using it. It's already a disc front end, though it only has single piston calipers. Thats a steamy price tag they have for sure. 850...without the braided stainless brake lines.
Yeah, I could body lift it, I just really don't want to. I did find a rear disc brake conversion (that keeps it 8 lug) http://www.tsmmfg.com/
That I plan on picking up for sure. Nothing beats all wheel discs.
I know that the rear will be easy, I can find someone to make me a set of longer leaf springs, and still keep the rear load capacity. That end is easy.
The more I think about it, the more I think I should just build my own control arms, and set it up for rack and pinion steering. Thats still a little ways off...just like the front and rear bumpers, and winch mount.
I appreciate the links though, you never know when that information will come in handy.Precision is only as important as the project...if you're building a rocket ship...1/64" would matter. If you're building a sledgehammer...an 1/8" probably wont.

That's going to be a fine ride when you are done! I'm with you on the long bed, IMO it does not take anything away from the truck being nice looking. Glad to hear you are going with 4 wheel discs. These are beasts to stop, even with discs up front. Drove one with a similar powerplant and 4 wheel manual drums once.Sometimes there's no second chances.
On Fire
the front disk option must have been rare and costly in 1970... they were considered pretty exotic on cars back then......(all of the disk references I have found for that body style were for 71-73 front disk so yours is likely very late model year 70) if your truck has the 14bolt dif on the rear..... you may be able to do a bolt on wrecking yard disk conversion from a later model truck.....

I checked the axle out when I was loading it up onto the trailer. It isn't a corporate 14. It is a Dana 60, (had SPICER cast into the side)
That link, The streetrod manufacturing company, makes the stand off for the caliper (75-84 El Dorado single piston, with or without parking brake) they sell you the 12 3/4" rotors, and all the hardware. I could put the kit together...but it would probably be around the same price. It takes 70lbs off the rear axle weight though...so definitely worth it in my opinion.
The rotors they sell you are off one of the newer 2500HD chevy trucks (same bolt pattern for over 40 years) I also have a set of the aluminum wheels off those trucks. Good weight rating on them at 3200lbs per wheel.
This truck did have a bunch of the special features for that year. Factory bucket seats (with the flip down console in the center) Factory in dash tachometer, the disc front end, and factory AC, there may be more...but I don't remember any more off top of my head.
@Davinci: I cant imagine driving one of these things...or any car...with manual drums on all 4 corners...I like being able to stop, without having to dent the floor boards in. Thanks for the compliments!Precision is only as important as the project...if you're building a rocket ship...1/64" would matter. If you're building a sledgehammer...an 1/8" probably wont.

In this series, Kathryn Applegate addresses the concern that randomness implies the absence of God's activity and involvement in the natural world. She begins by clearing up some common misconceptions about the concept of "randomness", and later focuses on the mechanisms of the immune system to demonstrate that God works through random processes to preserve life. Far from being an indication of a "godless" universe, one might conclude that randomness is one of God's favorite mechanisms for creating and sustaining life!
This series by Denis Alexander reflects on advancements in genomics as well as their theological implications. He focuses on the relatedness of hominin genomes, arguing that this does not interfere with the image of God in humans. The image of God depends more on the capacity for relationship and covenant, not on a list of particular physical qualities. He then discusses why the recent studies of genomics provide "no grounds for genetic determinism."
There is a sense in which we look at Temma and we want to affirm that she is made in the image of God by denying that the image of God has anything to do with her physical, material body.
At the center of the theological and cultural controversy surrounding biological evolution stands the question: "How do human beings—creatures uniquely created in the image and likeness of God—fit into the scientific picture of life's origins and development?" In this three-part series, Dr. Joshua Moritz endeavors to address this question by exploring what Scripture means—and does not mean—by the designation "image and likeness of God".
In this three-part series from Pruim's chapter in the book Delight in Creation: Scientists Share Their Work with the Church, mathematician Randall Pruim explains what scientists and mathematicians mean when they speak of something being "random". He also addresses God's use of apparent randomness in creation as a part of his sovereign rule.
With his standard panache, the late Harvard paleontologist Stephen J. Gould argued strenuously that evolution had no inherent directionality. We are mere accidents; a "tiny twig on an improbable branch of a contingent limb on a fortunate tree".
I want to lay out some of the key myths and indicate how Coyne's discussion can help Christians get a more accurate understanding of evolution.
Scientists become fairly comfortable with a certain level of uncertainty within scientific data, notes Kathryn Applegate, but that is not the case for most people, especially where faith is concerned
In this series, Pete Enns discusses what it means to be made in God's image according to Genesis 1:26-27. These verses show that humans are made in God's image in order to rule over all creation as representatives of God. He argues that humanity's image is not wrapped up in their soul, but in their role as caretakers. In this discussion, he mentions that God commands Israel to make no graven images to represent God because humans are living images themselves. Ultimately, Jesus is the perfect image of God, and humans are called to live in Christ.
In this video conversation, N.T. Wright suggests that what the book of Genesis and the apostle Paul mean by humans "bearing the image of God" is less a static picture and more of a creative, dynamic proposition-- specifically, how we "reflect" God into the world.
Originally published on May 11, 2009.
The meaning of the "image of God" has been debated for centuries in the church. A common view is that the image of God refers to the human abilities that separate us from the animals. However, scientists have found that abilities like communication and rationality are also present in animals on a basic level. Plus, theologians do not see the image of God as human abilities. Some theologians see the image of God as our capacity for a relationship with God. Other theologians see it as our commission to represent God's kingdom on earth. Both of these theological positions are consistent with scientific evidence. Whether God created humanity through a miracle or through evolution, God gave us our spiritual capacities and calls us to bear his image.
(Updated June 25, 2012)
It is not uncommon to hear voices proclaiming that biology and physics have shown us that—at fundamental levels—nature is random, hence meaningless, purposeless, and without a creator. But how might God work providentially through indeterminate processes? The John Templeton Foundation has provided a generous grant of $1.69 million to support a new research initiative on the theme of Randomness and Divine providence.
This BioLogos videocast addresses the idea of randomness as a part of natural selection, and whether it challenges the possibility of God using the evolutionary process as a means of creation.
It should not be surprising that John Cage asked the stuff he used to make paintings to take part in the process—to contribute its own identity to the intentional, purposeful, and determined work of creating "based on chance."
When we get stuck on the idea of having biological ancestors, we can miss the point that being made in the image of God is a relational quality, not a biological trait. We can communicate and have a relationship with God, and we can reflect his character and represent him to the rest of creation.
In today's video, Oxford physicist Ard Louis discusses the famous debate between renowned evolutionary biologists Stephen Jay Gould and Simon Conway Morris over the idea of evolutionary convergence.
Even if Darwin had never lived and no one else had come up with the idea of common ancestry, modern genomics would have forced us to that conclusion even if there was no other evidence available.
Does Collins show that Evangelicals have turned the corner on the scandal Noll brought to light, or does the continued resistance of the majority of Evangelicals to Collins's work (about 75% reject human evolution) show that we as a collective group still do not take the life of the mind seriously?

Recently Josh was talking to a friend. The friend is someone that is overweight, living a sedentary lifestyle, and starting to have some negative health consequences as a result of his lifestyle. Josh was saying how he thought that health insurance should work the same way that car insurance does - basically that we should be rewarded for "good behavior". (Lose weight, exercise more, be in good health, etc. would mean lower premiums or deductibles).
The friend's response was, "Yeah well, you live an extreme lifestyle."
That has had me thinking.
Do we live an extreme lifestyle?
I am aware that I am probably more invested in my running than many. I know that getting up at 4am everyday, running 80+ miles a week, racing multiple marathons a year, training at a high level, etc. probably seems "extreme" to a lot of people.
But the comment was made to Josh. Josh runs five days a week most weeks (when he is training), averaging around 35 miles a week. He does several running races and a tri or two a year. He has lost and kept off about 60lbs. He eats fairly healthily but can and does eat pretty much whatever he wants. He is in great overall health.
Is that really an extreme lifestyle?
Then I realized that I was thinking "extreme lifestyle" was a bad thing. I looked up the definition of "extreme" and dictionary.com says, "Reaching a high or the highest degree; very great, intense".
Heck yeah then. Call me extreme. :) I think living our lives to the highest degree (in all areas), or at least striving to, is what we should be doing. (And I am currently reading and LOVING "Run the Edge" by Adam Goucher and Tim Catalano which basically is all about this idea. I will post a more detailed review once I am finished reading the book, but this is my favorite read in quite a while).
I can't help but think that it is sad that a healthy lifestyle is seen by some as "extreme" though, and that it's perfectly acceptable for so many people to live life so passively. No one seems to think twice or have any problem with all the people who live their lives without any great passion... who settle for "good enough" with their jobs, their marriages, their parenting, their health... who forget about their goals and dreams... who give little thought to the care of their bodies...who let life happen "to" them instead of living life to the fullest. (And please, I am not saying you have to be a runner to live life to the fullest. I think there are countless, endless ways to live life to the fullest.)
I strive to live my life to "the highest degree" as much as possible. I want my marriage to be filled with fun, joy, happiness, laughter, passion, emotion, gratitude and LOVE. I want to be a mom who is involved, aware, playful, loving, attentive, connected, and treasures moments big and small - continually aware of how blessed I am to have these kids. I strive to be a loving, loyal, dedicated, sensitive, and fun relative/friend to my close family members and friends and to be there for people when they need me. I work hard at my job and truly try to make a positive impact in the lives of children in need. I try to find ways to serve friends and neighbors. I try to inspire others to find the kind of happiness I have. I am continually working on my faith and my relationship with my Father in Heaven and my Savior, and striving to be the person He made me to be. And I work hard to be the best runner I can be and to reach my goals. I certainly come up short sometimes in all areas, but I keep trying!
My life is full. My life is good. My life is so very blessed. Extremely blessed. :)
So what do you think? Is an "extreme lifestyle" a good thing or a bad thing in your eyes? Do you think runners are extreme? How do you live life to the fullest?

Comments about Sbyke P-20 Scooter Skateboard Bike Hybrid:
The Sbyke is well built, made of high quality components and is a lot of fun to ride. I bought one for my 10 year old son for Christmas and I'm buying another one for my 14 year old daughter. I'm 45 years old and I really enjoy riding it. It's great exercise and the rear steer technology works on your core strength. It's a real head turner. Several of the kids in the neighborhood want to get one and the adults like it too. The ride is much smoother than a traditional scooter and it's safer than a skateboard. The Sbyke is fun for the entire family! I highly recommend it.

As the Miami Heat celebrate their back to back championship season the wait for next season begins. However the Heat know they have needs to fill in order to accomplish another historic goal: 3-peat. And it won't be easy as we've seen various moves by other contending teams that are looking to put a stop to the Heat's reign over the NBA. And all of this being done right after the NBA Draft, and right before free agency is official. With that said I'll be taking a look at the teams who are as of now the biggest threats to the Heat's 3-peat chances.

The skeletal remains found by a work crew in Frederick in August near New Design Road have been identified as a missing Springfield, Va., man, according to the Fairfax County Police Department.
Oscar Velasco Montano, 30, went missing on July 9, 2011, in Virginia, and his family reported it two days later, according to Officer Bud Walker, a spokesman for Fairfax police.
"We're investigating it as a potential homicide at this point," Walker said. "We don't have a lot of new information."
Walker said Fairfax police became involved in the investigation shortly after the Frederick County Sheriff's Office began trying to identify the remains last summer. He said the two agencies would continue to collaborate on the investigation.
Bruce Goldfarb, a spokesman for the state Office of the Chief Medical Examiner in Baltimore, said that the case had been ruled a homicide, but declined to discuss any further details, including the cause of death, because the crime is still under investigation.
Cpl. Jennifer Bailey, spokeswoman for the Frederick County Sheriff's Office, deferred all questions about the case to Fairfax police. However, she confirmed that the sheriff's office was still assisting in the investigation.
The remains were discovered by workers with a tree-trimming service on Aug. 8 in a wooded area near the 4100 block of New Design Road, next to remnants of a campfire.
An employee with the tree-trimming service Asplundh was working in a wooded area about 15 yards from the road at about 5:15 p.m. when he discovered the remains on the ground.

Best goggle on the market! Lens changes are super easy, lenses never fog, and they are huge! Be careful when buying though especially if you wear a smaller sized helmet.

A high speed chase in Waldorf ended with no injuries and charges pending against the woman behind the wheel of a fleeing vehicle.
At about 5:30 p.m. Tuesday, officers went to the Hampshire neighborhood, where family members told them a woman in her late 20s had made threats to kill herself by crashing her car.
Charles County Sheriff's Office Spokeswoman Diane Richardson said that as officers were approaching the Waldorf neighborhood, they spotted the woman exiting Hampshire onto Smallwood Drive West in a Volvo SUV.
Officers tried to stop her, but the woman continued driving over a concrete median into oncoming traffic.
The woman made a left onto St. Patrick's Drive, where, Richardson said, she was on the correct side of the road.
The woman failed to stop at a red light and made a right onto southbound U.S. 301.
The chase went down 301 and then back onto Smallwood Drive West, where the woman once again crossed a median into oncoming traffic.
Richardson said the woman traveled on the wrong side of the road for about two miles.
"Our officers stayed on the right side of the road and parallel with her," she said.
Officers were stationed in the surrounding area, but because it was a fluid event, warning other drivers was difficult, Richardson said.
Traci Renner of Waldorf was traveling east on Smallwood Drive West in the area of William B. Wade Elementary School at about 5:40 p.m.
Renner said an SUV squeezed in between her car and another SUV with about an inch to spare.
She said her first thought was a question of why the SUV just cut her off.
"Not even a second later, I saw why," Renner said.
She said another SUV was headed westbound in the eastbound lane and the SUV that had cut her off was trying to get out of the way.
Renner said she saw one police car following the SUV and two others in the westbound lanes.
Renner and the two cars in front of hers pulled over, to get their bearings, she said.
During the chase, the woman led police back into the Hampshire neighborhood.
Officers placed stop sticks, three-foot long strips of spikes designed to puncture tires, in her path.
The stop sticks, Richardson said, caused a slow leak in her tires. The woman attempted to loop around the neighborhood again, but an officer got close enough to the vehicle to force her into a ditch.
The woman was taken to a hospital for evaluation, and Richardson said charges are pending.
Richardson said, "clearly she was a danger to other drivers" and it was fortunate nobody was injured.
"There was real potential that this could have turned into something awful," she said.
The incident lasted 10 minutes.
"I think our officers, given the fact that the situation was very fluid, did a really good job in getting her stopped," Richardson said.
Renner said she was dumbfounded that there was a chase going on. She said, "It's not something you would expect to see on Smallwood Drive on a Tuesday evening."

The recent opinion piece by Connie Kovas Moreno concerning legislation introduced in the Indiana General Assembly to nullify the federal health care law ("Long needs to allow discussion on Obamacare bill or tell us why not," Feb. 5) deserves a response. I appreciate the author's engagement on such critical issues, but her conclusions on my positions are misguided and incorrect.
The legislation in question — SB 230 — attempts to nullify Obamacare by claiming that Indiana has the ability to prevent its enactment. For those who fear the ramifications of Obamacare, including the bankrupting of our national treasury and destruction of our private health care system (both of which I believe may well happen), this may sound like a potential solution.
But there is a fatal problem with SB 230: It is unconstitutional.
I have been a vocal critic of Obamacare from the outset — of its ill-conceived, bureaucratic approach to addressing our health care challenges; of the shameless tactics utilized to jam it through the legislative process in Congress; and of the Supreme Court's dubious reasoning in upholding its constitutionality.
I suspect that I share these and many other frustrations with a significant number of Hoosiers, but the fact remains that the Supreme Court has upheld Obamacare as constitutional. This makes it the law of the land, for better or worse. And under the oath of office I took as an Indiana state senator, called for in Article 15, Section 4 of the Indiana Constitution, I am bound to uphold the constitutions of both Indiana and the United States.
While I certainly identify with the spirit behind SB 230, there is lengthy precedent, anchored in Article VI of the U.S. Constitution, that precludes states from nullifying federal laws that have been deemed constitutional (commonly called the Supremacy Clause). Passage of SB 230 would only lead to Indiana becoming entangled in federal litigation that would cost significant taxpayer dollars and would quickly prove to be a waste of time. As a conservative, the idea of wasting taxpayer money to make a futile political gesture strikes me as irresponsible.
Having said all that, I am not simply willing to give up the legal fight against federal overreach.
States have long had a constitutional tool available to them to hold the federal government accountable: a convention for proposing amendments to the U.S. Constitution. Under Article V of the U.S. Constitution, the states are granted the power to amend the U.S. Constitution via a convention that is called by two-thirds of the states (34 states).
James Madison, known as the Father of the U.S. Constitution, felt that this was the critical tool provided to the states to control the inevitable overreach and growth of the federal government. Madison was the mastermind behind the fundamental concept of checks and balances found in the Constitution, and believed a state-driven convention was the essential check upon federal power.
Unfortunately, fear of a runaway convention, where the law of unintended consequences could lead to undesirable and unwanted changes to the Constitution, has thus far prevented such a convention from occurring. However, model legislation is available that would allow a state to maintain firm control over its delegates to such a convention. This would prevent a runaway convention from occurring.
I have long supported this avenue as the best way to reinstate the power of the states.
Next week, I will introduce a resolution calling for a state-driven convention for proposing amendments to the U.S. Constitution. The convention would deal with two specific topics: limiting the commerce clause and taxing powers of the federal government. I have been in contact with legislative leaders from other states around the country and believe there is significant support for this effort.
I ask everyone who believes in states' rights and the need to limit the abusive overreach of the federal government to join me in support of this idea.
I am sorry that my action in putting SB 230 on hold has been misconstrued in any way as supporting Obamacare. Nothing could be further from the truth. But belief in the need to strictly adhere to the Constitution cuts both ways. You can't ask for the Constitution to be followed judiciously, but then say "never mind" when an idea you support doesn't pass constitutional muster.
It is time to take back our freedom and our constitutional rights. But it must be done in a legal and constitutionally sound manner. This is the way to do it.

Obama's Post-Charlotte Bounce May Owe More To TV Ads Than Convention
Originally published on Thu September 13, 2012 11:24 am
It's become conventional wisdom that President Obama's new lead in the polls is a bounce, coming out of the Democratic convention in Charlotte, N.C.
But an analysis from the Wesleyan Media Project suggests that the bounce might be due to TV ads as much as grand speeches. The Obama campaign and its allies laid out $21.1 million for TV during the two weeks of the party conventions. Over that same stretch, Republican Mitt Romney and his backers spent significantly less, $12.9 million.
With that cash advantage, the Obama campaign bought a better-than 2-to-1 advantage in the number of ads airing in battleground states.
The media project — a joint effort by political scientists at Wesleyan College in Connecticut, Bowdoin College in Maine and the University of Washington — bases its estimates on data from Kantar Media/CMAG, which tracks TV ads. The estimates cover broadcast television and national cable.
"We wouldn't want to suggest that the convention, and the national media attention and coverage, may not have been influential," Wesleyan political scientist Erika Franklin Fowler, a co-director of the project, tells NPR. But she adds: "If you have such an advantage on the airwaves, that is also likely to have an effect."
She says President Obama appeared to use TV to counter attacks from the Republican convention and then held that advantage during the Democratic convention.
The project tallies 40,974 ads on behalf of Obama versus 17,779 for Romney. Of the ads for Obama, 91 percent came from the Obama campaign itself — a sign of fundraising strength by the campaign committee and the Democratic National Committee, but also a measure of how badly the Democratic outside groups have fared with big donors.
On the GOP side, the spending was lopsided the other way, with 72 percent of the ads coming from three outside groups that take unregulated contributions: the pro-Romney superPAC Restore Our Future; another pro-GOP superPAC, American Crossroads; and the social welfare organization Americans For Prosperity, backed by the billionaire industrialists David and Charles Koch. The superPACs disclose their donors. Americans For Prosperity is allowed by law to keep its donors secret.
Another powerful social welfare organization was missing from the presidential race these past two weeks. Crossroads GPS, the heavily funded partner of American Crossroads, under the guidance of strategist Karl Rove, shifted its attention to Senate races. Earlier this summer, it had been the biggest spender on Romney's behalf.
Maybe none of this is news to voters in the Las Vegas, Cleveland and Denver markets. They're the top three targets for both campaigns. The Wesleyan project says that since April, viewers in Las Vegas have been hit with more than 30,000 presidential campaign ads. And those ads are mostly negative.
"We all expected that," says Fowler. But compared with 2008, she says, the Obama team is almost twice as likely to use pure attack ads. And 70 percent of the pro-Romney ads are purely negative, up from 40 percent for John McCain, the 2008 Republican nominee.
The Wesleyan project also took the measure of Senate campaigns. The volume leader is Montana, where Republican Rep. Denny Rehberg is trying to unseat first-term Democrat Jon Tester. Data show that Montanans have been exposed to nearly 45,000 Senate campaign ads since June 1.

This instrumental jam featuring Paisley, James Burton, Vince Gill, Albert Lee, John Jorgenson, Brent Mason, Redd Volkaert and Steve Wariner provides a great introduction to almost every current country shredder you should know.
"Those guys are all my influences," Paisley says. "Nobody really outplays anybody else, but when James put on his fingerpicks and did all those bends, double bends and weird arpeggios, I knew that everybody in the room wanted to be him."

All of the inclusions are unquestionably very good. Glad to see Jimmy Bryant is not forgotten.
The exclusions.....
Scotty Anderson, Brent Mason, Danny Gatton, Roy Clark & Jerry Reed (IMHO) should have been in the top 10. It might have been an idea to compile an essential top 20 list to include some of the missing titans.
Just my two cents worth

Brent Mason was one of several guitarists who soloed on the Brad Paisley track. You could probably do a list of 1000 guitarists from this category and still leave someone out. The country genre is rich with top notch players. It was cool to see players like Phil Baugh, Kenny Vaughan and Michael Lee Firkins instead of all the usual "country guitar for dummies" choices that most people already know about.
October 22, 2014 at 8:06pm
These are all quite good. Albert Lee is one bad ass guitar player.
Yes Roy Clark should have been added to the list and maybe Vince Gill and Jerry Reed. But the ones on here are still very good.
Them country players really know how to play guitar. I remember reading once that Ritchie Blackmore said he didn't want to come near Nashville cause of the great guitar players there.

How Dare you NOT include Brent Mason's Hot Wired? WTF????
October 22, 2014 at 2:51pm
Damn straight. My dad went to one of his concerts ( I had to work ) and said that Roy said "This is what the young kids like to listen to" and played half a minute of Led Zeppelin and rocked out, then said "But this is what I like" and went into "Guitar Boogie" Awesome picker.

Yep, they ignored Roy Clark, Hank Snow, Chet Atkins, Luther Perkins, Dwayne Eddy, James Burton, and a whole slew of other country pickers, but they included that down home country-fied type of guy who is known far and wide for his genuine bonefied country stylin'...Steve Morse! Oh wait, isn't he a FUSION GUY??? But hey...at least they had somebody *impersonating* the real country pickers, right? gaaaaaaaaaaaaack!

I will never again visit this website, as Roy Clark is not mentioned once in this monstrosity of an article.
June 05, 2013 at 6:20pm
C'mon people how could he be missed!
