GREENSBORO, N.C. - Tom Luchsinger successfully defended his title in the 400-yard individual medley and Carolina set a new school record in the 400-yard medley relay as day three concluded Friday at the 2013 ACC Men's Swimming & Diving Championships at the Greensboro Aquatics Center.
Altogether, Carolina swimmers set 17 career bests in individual events on the day and moved up a spot in the team standings to rank in third place. With one day to go in the Championships, Virginia leads the field with 528 points followed by Virginia Tech with 400, North Carolina with 374, Florida State with 353, NC State with 323.5, Duke with 197, Georgia Tech with 179.5 and Boston College with 93.
Luchsinger led wire-to-wire to win his second successive ACC title in the 400 IM and his fourth ACC individual championship overall. He led a strong field of UNC swimmers with six Tar Heels now ranking among Carolina's Top 10 all-time performers in the event based on their swims on Friday. Luchsinger won his title in a career best 3:44.25 (previous was 3:44.81) while two other Tar Heels placed in the championship final with Alex Gianino taking fourth in 3:49.34 (career best 3:47.68 in prelims, 3:50.08 coming into meet) and Patrick Myers placing sixth in 3:49.91 (career best 3:49.67 in prelims, 3:52.36 coming into meet). Three more Tar Heels placed in consolation heats. Tyler Hill took 13th place in a career best 3:50.92 (previous was 3:51.39 in prelims, 3:53.10 coming into meet), freshman Matt Kwatyra was 16th (went 3:51.06 in prelims) and another freshman, Mitch DeForest, won the bonus consolation heat and placed 17th overall in a career best 3:51.71 (previous was 3:52.88 in prelims and 3:56.89 coming into the meet).
"We are blessed to have a lot of talent in the 400 IM highlighted by Tom Luchsinger in his senior year, repeating as the champion and doing his lifetime best time, breaking his personal best that he set two years ago at the NCAA's in a Top 8 finish," said Tar Heel head coach Rich DeSelm. "I'm very happy for him. He beat the field by two and a half seconds. It was a terrific swim. He led wire to wire."
Luchsinger, Gianino, Myers, Hill, Kwatyra and DeForest now rank 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 7th, 8th and 10th, respectively, on Carolina's all-time Top 10 performers list.
The all-freshman UNC 400-yard medley relay team set a school record in the event with an automatic NCAA qualifying time and a fourth-place finish. The Tar Heels went 3:09.78 with the unit consisting of Nic Graesser (46.64), Kurt Wohlrab (53.91), Sam Lewis (46.43) and Logan Heck (42.80). Graesser's leadoff leg was a career best time in the 100 back for him, breaking his previous personal best of 47.90. Friday's time took down the previous school record by more than a full second. That was a clocking of 3:10.89 in 2011 turned in by Tommy Wyher (46.75), Vinny Pryor (54.07), Tom Luchsinger (47.40) and Steve Cebertowicz (42.67).
"It was a busy night. We had some really terrific swimming," said DeSelm. "More and more, I am realizing how young our team is demonstrated by our 400-yard medley relay being four freshmen. We had a really great swim and broke the school record with four freshmen and were just out of the medals in fourth place with a 3:09.7 and an NCAA "A" cut. Nic Graesser, Kurt Wohlrab, Sam Lewis and Logan Heck did a phenomenal job. It's very exciting thinking about having them around for three more years."
All four Tar Heels swimming in the 100-yard butterfly posted personal best times on Friday and again all four were freshmen. Sam Lewis and Ben Colley captured the top two spots in the consolation final in times of 46.42 and 47.72, eclipsing their previous personal bests set in the prelims at 47.53 and 47.73, respectively. They had been 48.29 and 48.64, respectively heading into the championships. Freshman Kurt Wohlrab placed 19th in the preliminaries in a career best 49.61 (previous was 49.75) and freshman Sean Sullivan swam in the bonus consolation heat and placed 18th in a career best 49.95, well below his previous time of 51.37 coming into the meet and 50.24 in the prelims. With their swims on Friday, Lewis and Colley now rank as the second and fifth fastest performers ever for the Tar Heels in the 100-yard butterfly.
A trio of Tar Heels scored in the 200-yard freestyle as Brad Dillon took fifth in 1:36.15, while J.T. Stilley was sixth in 1:36.35 and Logan Heck was 15th in 1:38.14. Dillon, Heck and Kyle Ficker all had career best times in the preliminaries of the event at 1:35.59, 1:37.93 and 1:39.30, respectively. Dillon lopped 1.96 off his previous career best and Heck lowered his by 2.01 seconds. Ficker shed .71 off his personal best. Dillon's time moved him into a tie for second place among the Top 10 all-time performers list with ACC legend John Davis and behind only current junior teammate J.T. Stilley on the career charts.
Career bests continued to flow for UNC in the final two events as well. Freshman Kurt Wohlrab and sophomore David Speese both lowered their personal bests twice on Friday, finishing ninth and 11th overall. Wohlrab went 54.28 in the consolation final after going 54.59 in the morning (previous was 55.63) and Speese went 54.62 in the consolation final after going 54.86 in the morning (previous was 55.20). Wohlrab and Speese are now the third and fourth fastest performers in UNC history in the event.
In the 100-yard backstroke, freshman Nic Graesser placed fourth in 46.82, just a little bit slower than his school record split on the relay earlier in the event. Just as they had done in the 100-yard butterfly earlier in the night, Sam Lewis and Ben Colley went 1-2 in the consolation final, finishing in 47.30 and 47.75 respectively. Each lowered their career bests twice on Friday with Lewis going from 48.76 pre-meet to 48.30 in the consolations and 47.30 at night. Colley was 49.59 coming into the meet, then went 48.25 in the prelims and 47.75 in the consolation finals for almost a two-second drop. The three freshmen - Graesser, Lewis and Colley - are now the second, third and fourth fastest Tar Heels in UNC history.
The championships conclude on Saturday with prelims at 11 a.m. and finals at 7 p.m. Events tomorrow include platform diving, the 1650-yard freestyle, the 200-yard backstroke, the 100-yard freestyle, the 200-yard breaststroke, the 200-yard butterfly and the 400-yard freestyle relay."The future is really bright with how well our freshmen did tonight," said DeSelm. "If you add in the tower diving for tomorrow we are standing fourth going into tomorrow's swimming races behind UVA, Virginia Tech and FSU but we've got a great day tomorrow and look to make a run at the leaders."

We had one on Lake James that past from behind on the port side between us and shore that was only 20 yards off the port side, and proceed to make a sharp U-turn around us causing a huge wake then a hole that pulled us almost to grounding( we were on a starboard tack) Our 7 year old daughter was almost tossed overboard. IF I could have gotten my hands on that SOB well I guess I still would be in jail.
Re: Recourse for Powerboats
Here's one, where there isn't a bloody thing it seems anyone can do about it. The entrance to Nantucket Harbor is bordered by a jetty on each side, extending a couple hundred yards from the shore. It appears it is not a part of the No Wake zone, as the ferries and every power boat are at full throttle through there right up to Brant Point.
The tough part is you have little to no room to maneuver to take the wake favorably and they will pass quite closely. It will take you on the beam. Worse, if you are towing your dinghy, it could be flipped. Sort of a nerve wracking place.

Incredible that they would come so close. I've had it happen in Long Island Sound. Huge powerful yachts coming within 100 feet of me and throwing me a 7' wake. But to them we don't even exist. You could shoot up flares and blow an air horn and it wouldn't matter. They are just oblivious.
Its nautical version of the self centered , no empathy attitude that is so prevalent in our country.

Re: Recourse for Powerboats
pyewackette, you are absolutely right, I got off topic and rambled. I'm sorry.
As my present boat cannot navigate most of the ICW bridges, I'll not be a menace to anyone in the ICW, so why I even made any comment is curious. Old timer's disease, I guess.
Funny though, how so many sailors are so easily angered by pleasure power boaters, but shrug off the flagrant discourtesy of the LEO's of every ilk that barrel through crowded anchorages and waterways on their way to their next boarding.

The rise of the phenomenon of doing the Ditch in 'packs', led by a 'Guru', is definitely one of the most perplexing to me... Without question, many cruisers are far less self-sufficient and generally less competent than years ago, and the reliance on various guides, and resources such as Active Captain, has become almost comical... The sort of Serendipitous Surprise that so often marked many of my most memorable experiences back in the old days, seems completely absent from the manner in which many cruisers make the trip now... But that is largely a reflection of the way so many prefer to travel nowadays in general, of course...
btw, you've got a great little boat there... I got my start in the delivery biz running Marine Traders for Don Miller back in the 70's, I can guarantee you I have more hours on those boats than any other person alive... (grin) Hell, there's a good chance I may have originally delivered yours, back in 1980...
Re: Recourse for Powerboats
This past weekend we had a large (50'+) PB blast past us (and several others at anchor) and they created quite a large wake. While I understand there is no speed limit where we were anchored I found it pretty rude and created a dangerous circumstance for us and others. He demonstrated the arrogance and/or ignorance that power boaters can have.
My youngest daughter was just getting into the water from on the stern ladder, my other daughter was lying on a raft when we heard then saw the wake approach. My estimate was about 2' wake, breaking slighltly...scared the you know what out of them and me. I yelled to her to swim away from the boat but the fear overcame her and she went for the ladder, had I not reached down and crabbed her just in time I think she could have been injured by the rudder or hitting her head on the bottom of the stern. The motion was violent. I have never seen her so scared, shaking, but to her credit she was back in the water after a few minutes.
As mentioned, I understand there is no restrictions in the area where we were anchored so one must be more cautious but I would really have liked to catch him and tell him what his boat caused, although I doubt he would give a sheet. Its not like slowing down the last 1/4 mile through a pretty popular anchorage would have caused him any great delay. I would have loved to meet the person!
It was an unfortunate way to be reminded that you must always be on guard. And no, I didn't get the name or boat number. Too busy attending to my kids nerves.

About Coal Mine Methane
Coal production, transportation, storage and use account for roughly 40% of global greenhouse gas emissions. Projections suggest coal use will increase in coming years due to growing demand for electric power. Greater focus is therefore being directed at minimizing the carbon footprint of the entire coal industry value chain from production through utilization.
One of the more effective near-term options at the production stage is the capture and use of methane from coal mines. This not only mitigates climate change, but delivers other important co-benefits including improvement of mine safety and productivity, localized energy production, and improvement in local/regional air quality. In addition, such projects can result in positive cash flows to the mine and serve as catalyst for investment.
The UNECE is active in facilitating the development and profitable recovery and use of CMM. With UNECE member countries producing 38% of the world's coal and generating 40% of coal mine methane (CMM) emissions, successful project implementation will benefit the regional and global environment and the economies of the ECE region.
In this respect, the UNECE's Committee on Sustainable Energy at its 14th session in 2005 established the Ad Hoc Group of Experts on Coal Mine Methane. The Ad Hoc Group of Experts carries out, under the Committee's guidance, activities related to development and profitable recovery and use of CMM and abandoned mine methane (AMM), with a specific focus on the three pillars of sustainable development: economic, social and environmental. Recovery and use of CMM otherwise emitted mitigates climate change, improves mine safety and productivity, and generates revenues and cost savings.

FSL notes: Syndergaard undaunted
St. Lucie hurler adjusting well to new organization, pressure
By Guy Curtright / Special to MLB.com | May 1, 2013 6:00 AM ET
Noah Syndergaard's transition from one organization to another has gone off without a hitch. But that doesn't mean there is no difference from being a top prospect with Toronto to one with the New York Mets.
"It's a big market and you have eyes on you all the time," the St. Lucie pitcher said. "The attention is definitely different. It's something you have to get used to. It wasn't like this with the Blue Jays."
Of course, Syndergaard was simply a supplemental first-round pick trying to work his way to Toronto. Now with the Mets, the 6-foot-6 right-hander from Texas is someone acquired as part of a deal for the reigning Cy Young Award winner.
In fact, Syndergaard is the lone prospect still on the field from the R.A. Dickey deal with catcher Travis d'Arnaud is sidelined at Triple-A Las Vegas with a broken foot. No wonder New York fans are interested.
"You try not to think about it, but there is definitely a little more pressure after being traded for a Cy Young winner," said Syndergaard, the Mets' No. 3 prospect and ranked No. 29 on MLB.com's Top 100 list. "Hopefully, I can live up to it."
So far, the 38th overall pick in 2010 Draft is showing his new organization just what it hoped to see.
Syndergaard's third start in the Class A Advanced Florida State League was a rough one, but he has been nearly flawless in his past two outings.
Syndergaard allowed three hits and an unearned run over six innings at Charlotte on April 23 in a no-decision, then worked a career-high seven innings at Tampa on Sunday en route to his first victory. He allowed five hits and an unearned run against the Yankees, striking out seven and walking one.
On the mound, the big difference for Syndergaard is the workload. The Blue Jays tightly monitored his innings and often shared starts last season for Lansing in the Class A Midwest League. He had pitched six innings only once before this year.
"I'm definitely not a fan of piggybacking or inning limits," said Syndergaard, who was 8-5 with a 2.60 ERA last season with Lansing while working just 104 innings. "I'm happy to have the opportunity to go deeper into games."
But Syndergaard had to ease into it a little bit after being limited to three innings of work during Spring Training because of lat tightness.
"I did OK my first two games, but then that time I missed caught up with me," said Syndergaard, who allowed seven runs in three innings to Fort Myers' potent offense on April 18.
Syndergaard, though, didn't let one bad outing derail him.
"You have to have a short-term memory," he said. "You're not going to have your best stuff every game."
When Syndergaard does have his best stuff, it is very impressive. His fastball, which regular hits 95-96 mph, can reach 98 mph, and he is making good progress with both his curveball and changeup. He had two strikeouts with each against Tampa.
In his 25 innings over five starts, Syndergaard has a 3.24 ERA, even with the one bad outing, and 26 strikeouts to 10 walks.
Obviously, the Mets are happy that Syndergaard was part of the Dickey deal. So is the young pitcher, although he was caught off-guard at the time.
"I was pretty shocked," he said. "I went to bed the previous night, before the rumors with my name started, and I thought it would just be Anthony Gose and d'Arnaud. The next afternoon I saw my name was in the mix. I called my agent, and he said it's probably just a rumor. About 30 minutes later, he texted me and said, 'It might go down.' A couple days after that, I got the call that they'd traded me. It was pretty exciting."
In brief
In and out: Palm Beach would have quite a one-two punch in the outfield if the Cardinals had Stephen Piscotty and James Ramsey in the lineup together more often. Right-fielder Piscotty came off the disabled list April 18 and center-fielder Ramsey went on three days later. Piscotty, the 36th overall pick in the 2012 Draft out of Stanford, was hitting .359 with four homers and 11 RBIs through 17 games. Ramsey, taken with the 23rd pick in the first round out of Florida State last June, had a .357 average through 16 games before landing on the DL with a strained hamstring. Ramsey is the Cardinals' No. 16 prospect, while Piscotty is ranked No. 17.
Off to late start: Center fielder Jake Marisnick, ranked as Miami's No. 3 prospect, made his season debut with Jupiter on Sunday after recovering from a broken left hand suffered when he was hit by a pitch during the Marlins' Grapefruit League game against St. Louis on March 6. The 22-year-old came to Miami along with Jupiter left-hander Justin Nicolino as part of the trade that sent Jose Reyes, Josh Johnson and Mark Buehrle to Toronto. Marisnick, who was 2-for-9 in his first two games, is expected to move up to Double-A Jacksonville after a short stint with the Hammerheads.
No suspension: Center fielder Mason Williams, the New York Yankees' No. 2 prospect, was not suspended after his arrest on a misdemeanor DUI charge and returned to the Tampa lineup a day later. According to police, Williams failed a field sobriety test after he was pulled over at 2:45 a.m. last Thursday in Tampa, but his blood-alcohol level was under Florida's threshold of 0.8. Williams, 21, returned to the lineup Friday at Clearwater and was 2-for-17 in his first four games back, dropping his average to .241. He is ranked No. 41 among MLB.com's Top 100 Prospects.

Everything I've read on here was positive. Unlike the ZX6Rforum, were there is always somebody waiting to talk smack. That forum is set up just like this one. Forums are awsome for reviews and just good old fashion ball busting lol.
For sure a helmet is the first of my gear to be bought. I bumped my head out there Friday. Once is all it takes for me.
Welcome. I've driven past the signs for Perfect North many times on my way to Cinci. I wanted to stop and try it or take my brothers family and try it. Just never happened.
My input, get a helmet. Just me and others may disagree. Get good or better then make the choice, but for us it's easy. I see many a head bounce off our hard packed ice only to hear that dull thud. Only to know that persons day is over.....
There are a ton of great ppl on here, learn personalities, skills and humor. These folks have helped me a lot.
|That was kinda deep. Whoa. Welcome
|I went Friday night. There was a couple bouts of mist, that was it. Ya, I hope to go back next weekend. Take advantage of the student discount. It took me a day to be able to move my arms in order to write all this.
Perfect north is a pretty nice place, and is pretty much the best you'll get in Indiana. Did it rain there today? Was going to go there with some buddies but it was supposed to rain, so now we're going the 8th.
Anyways, welcome to the forum!
I Fianlly Did It.
Hello everybody, I finally shredded a hill at Perfect North Slopes here in Indiana. I've wanted to snowboard for fifteen years. Just recently we got dumped with a shit ton of snow. If life gives you snow, you surf that stuff. Thanks for having me here. This is my introduction, first ride brake down and why I board.
Back in 2000, a plumbing company I was working for asked if I wanted to goto Colorado and work on a ski resort in Winter Park. The answer was yes with no hesitation and they lined my pockets with cash to get there. At the time I didn't realize I was presented with a chance of a life time, but I let it slip away. I kick myself in the ass every time I here, Colorado. I feel in love with Colorado's land scape. Anything was better than Kansas. I took advantage of every bit of free-time I had out there. It wasn't until I got off the beaten path around Buffalo Bill's grave, that I found the respect for this rugged terrain where anything could happen and I would be swallowed by the Earth.
This was my first time away from home on this kind of scale. A friend never came through on letting me borrow his snowboard. That sucked because, I could of kicked open the back door of the house I was staying at, in Highland, and blasted down a bigger hill then anything Indy had to offer. Getting my pay check cashed was a pain in the ass. The old dude that ran the job (who we all lived with while on the job) was a grumpy old drunk. I was only 22 at the time and I got home-sick real fast.
I was afraid a day of snowboarding would have left me short for the week, and I wasn't trying to bum money from the angry old dude. Work wasn't going to pay for gas to get back home like they did to get me there either. I came back home after only 2 weeks. Any longer and my temptations would of caved in. Guess there was always western union.
I've skate boarded since I was 8 years old. Snowboarding was a whole new world. It was just what I wanted. To surf a never ended wave-somewhat- of snow. After falling 52 times, running over a few people, and being almost eaten alive by the lift I managed to rip it.
I started off on a 160cm. It sucked, or I got better with a 155. Sick of falling and going 90 gizilliion mph on dust over ice conditions basically, I concentrated hard on C turns. I went from shit, to being able to dodge highschool gossiping freaks that were stopped in the middle of the trail. Confidence was rising. My cousin was right, nothing like skateboarding. Each run became shorter, so all I did was cut back and forth to stretch out my run. I was soon gliding right back to the lift with precise aim, but with much needed balance, and posture.
I learned a lot by larking around here the past week. Especially about renting first, that saved me $150 on a board I probable would of hated. I've tried on as many boots as I could so far. Think I'll save my money and get some waterproof pants and a helmet.
Sorry for the long ass read. Hope to see one of ya in the back country some day. Peace!

Friday Live Music: Pat Hussey
19/07/2013 , 2:25 PM by Georgia Wilson
The acoustic guitarist from Nelson joined us for Friday Live Music - the spot on our show where you can tune our your mind and open your ears.
Last week, RSL Blue Lake Highland Band raised the roof but this week we thought we'd dial it back a notch and take in some acoustic guitar.
Hear Pat Hussey describe his style, share the story of his move from Tasmania to Sydney to study guitar with John Robinson from Black Feather, ponder where he thinks guitar heaven could be and play two songs for us.

Click any word in a definition or example to find the entry for that word
an application program designed for a particular purpose on a computer or mobile phone operating system
'Penguin has released one of the first book apps designed for babies as young as three months old, which will help enhance children's hearing, visual and motor skills.'The Telegraph 10th January 2011
'… Would you use an app to order a takeaway? … Domino's Pizza has reported strong sales through its recently launched iPhone app – but would you order a takeaway on a phone?'The Guardian 5th January 2011
'There's an app for that' … whether it's calorie counting, cricket scores, journey times, or Harry Potter, practically every type of social, leisure or work activity now manifests itself in the form of an app. It's perhaps understandable, then, that on the 7th January 2011 the American Dialect Society, an esteemed group of writers, editors, linguists, historians and other academics, chose app as its 'Word of the Year' for 2010.
The concept of the app – a neat little piece of software performing a particular function, typically on a mobile phone or similar hand-held device – has taken the world by storm in the last 18 months or so, catapulting the word itself into mainstream use. Two or three years ago, use of app as an abbreviation for application would largely have been confined to specific technical contexts. Now, by contrast, most people would recognize the term and immediately make the mental connection with an attractive little icon displayed on the screen of an iPhone or device of a similar level of sophistication.
whether it's calorie counting, journey times or Harry Potter, practically every type of leisure or work activity now manifests itself in the form of an app
As well as being boosted by the arrival of numerous app stores supplying applications for a wide range of mobile phones and computers, the word app's journey into general recognition has been galvanized by the aforementioned catchphrase 'There's an app for that'. The tagline, which plays a massive role in Apple's marketing and advertising initiatives around the iPhone, has permeated popular culture and is regularly parodied, even, for example, popping up in an episode of the popular TV show The Simpsons. The ubiquitous nature of the catchphrase led to Apple applying for trademark status, which was finally awarded in October 2010.
The word app has already found its way into mainstream English dictionaries on both sides of the Atlantic. The Macmillan Dictionary also covers the related term killer app, which describes a software application that is so popular and/or useful that it causes many people to buy the computer system on which it operates.
As a shortened form of the word application, app represents a contemporary example of a process linguists refer to as clipping. Clipping, also known as truncation or simply shortening, occurs when a word is reduced to one of its component parts. Familiar examples include the use of ad in place of advertisement, lab rather than laboratory, or exam instead of examination. Clipping can occur in various ways, the most common of which is the removal of the end of a word as in app, ad, exam etc. Other variations include the removal of the beginning of the word (e.g. plane from aeroplane), and removal of both the beginning and end of the word to leave the middle part (e.g. flu from influenza). Another example of clipping which has emerged in recent years is use of the word blog instead of weblog. As blog and the other examples illustrate, clipped forms are easier to pronounce and spell and so often become more popular than their longer counterparts, frequently overtaking them in everyday usage.

Woodpecker telephones and a curious robin
June 14. 2014 9:03PM
Oh, there he goes, getting maudlin about birds, grizzled veteran readers of this column are saying. Gone to the dark side, the Stacey Cole side, and a nod to you, Stacey, you so-gracious tie to the past, which I often am not.
I was discussing this the other day with elder sister Susan, who must have woodpeckers in her head for living in the cacophony of Manhattan. Having been once interrupted during a telephone call by this phantom other call, perhaps on my cellphone, she asked, "Do you still have your woodpecker?" and then suddenly, right then, there it was, hammering its little brains out.
I'll always be in awe of these little birds, somehow surviving the ongoing devastation of their Central American winter habitat to get across the vast Gulf of Mexico and arrive here at my front porch, where Vermont and New Hampshire and Maine pinch up, just shy of the Canadian border.
This left me with this:

Click any word in a definition or example to find the entry for that word
food which is carefully prepared using traditional cooking methods and organic ingredients, and is intended to be eaten and enjoyed slowly for maximum benefit
'Better a day of tortellini than 100 days of hamburgers!'
the Slow Food Movement … is an attempt to resist the encroachment of fast food and the ensuing homogenisation and globalisation of food production
Such were the chants of the protestors in Rome, Naples, Milan and 17 other Italian cities, who in October 2000 declared war on the McDonald's fast food chain. These protestors are among the many advocates of slow food, carving out time in their busy lives to oppose all forms of burgers, pizzas, tacos and fried chicken in favour of locally grown food, cooked by traditional, sometimes painstakingly slow, techniques.
One of the earliest references to slow food as an alternative to fast food can be found in a December issue of the New York Times in 1981:
'Traditionalists in Georgetown are fed up with the fast food invasion and have gone to court on behalf of the rights of slow food.'
The Slow Food Movement was founded in 1986 by one Carlo Petrini, an Italian journalist who was enraged when a McDonald's restaurant opened in the Piazza di Spagna in Rome. The Slow Food Movement, now with over 70,000 members – sometimes called slow foodies – in more than 40 countries, is an attempt to resist the encroachment of fast food and the ensuing homogenisation and globalisation of food production. Fast food is viewed as a threat to gastronomic individuality: ingredients, production, preparation and consumption of food should all relate to individual cultures and personal pleasure. The movement's logo, appropriately a snail, represents an emphasis on traditional methods of preparing and consuming food, as 'slowly' as is necessary for premium quality and enjoyment.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|I believe the 360 was available in pickups from 68-75 or 76. My 69 F250 has a 360 that I will get around to warming up one of these days as soon as I get that school thing out of the way
Take a look at this post on another board:
They don't give head casting numbers but they do give blocks.
I'd bet it's a 390, by 72 they were building a lot of them. I don't remember the last year for the 360 but I don't remember seeing many....
|cliff tate
fe build up
re cylinder heads you guys forgot to mention the early 1958 heads with machined combustion chambers. they ar rare but very good performing heads. all chambers exactly the same volume, able to run high compression with no detonation. used mainly on early 332 352 solid lifter engines. cliff
|Ok, finally was able to get a look at the truck. The body is even straighter than I remember! Surprised the heck out of me, all it really needs is to be cleaned up and repainted, but on to the point. Casting numbers on the heads are D2TEAA, both banks, so I'm assuming that the engine will match the heads. Any idea which engine these heads came on? I can decipher it to read 1972 truck heads, but the AA is beyond me. Any ideas? Thanks guys.
The dual bolt pattern exhaust manifold (fourteen or sixteen) (1966/ ) was used on the intermediates and pony cars to allow clearance to get your hands down in the skirts to remove them without raising or removing the engine.

FE Block Heads
Ford made 3 basic models of heads for the FE Block, as far as general production goes. The early production heads, through 63 were referred to as the low rise heads, and in 63, the medium and hi rise heads came onto the scene. In 64, to the best of my knowledge, the low rise heads went out of production. Leaving only the Medium and hi rise to contend with. Virtually all of the production heads, with the exception of on the 427, and some select dual quad 428's, were of the medium rise variety, and remained for all practical purposes unchanged til the end of production of the FE.
There are also some bolt up problems when trying to mix match between intakes and heads, when for instance, bolting a low rise intake on medium or hi rise heads. I dont remember all the specifics on that issue, so hopefully there is someone out there more up to speed on that little item.
The 390 GT heads used in the 66-67 Fairlanes and Comets were unique in that the manifolds bolted on in a conventional inline bolt pattern where other FE heads, the exhaust bolts go at the top and bottom of the port. There are some other specialty heads out there, but are very few and far between, as far as factory stuff. I am not real knowlegeable about the combustion chambers on the FE's other than from my understanding, they remained the same all the way through production, depending on the style of head, low, medium, or hi rise head. This being the case, there isnt any difference between a head off of a 74 390 truck engine and one from a 428 Cobra Jet.
Compression variations were dealt with by piston shapes rather than changing castings of the heads. Just goes to show, when you have a good thing, why mess with it.
Since I dont know the type of transmission you are currently or in future planning to run, makes choosing cams etc a little more difficult.
Running 10:1 compression on 93 octane shouldnt be a problem.
IF you want to really get some serious power out of the engine, Edelbrock makes an aluminum head for the FE block, and its a bolt up using stock components. One rule of thumb is that you can go one full ratio higher in compression running aluminum heads vs steel heads on the same octane gas.
My reasoning for limiting to 9.5:1 compression is that in years past, once you hit a magical 10:1 plus compression and start going over that, lower end engine life starts to decrease at a dramatic scale, and according to what articles I have read on that subject, 9-9.5:1 compression seems to be the best trade off point for compression vs bearing life. Another factor being that running on the street, opting for a slightly lower compression also allows the use of more readily available gasoline. In my travels around the country, I have noticed that not all places service the highest octanes of gasoline, and that could be a major pain at midnight, when you are down to the red line on the gas gauge, and the only station open for 50 miles in any direction only pumps 89 octane.
As for octane boosters, using something like 101 wont guarentee you having 101 octane gas. What that means is added to the correct octane gas and with enough of it added you could come up with 101 octane.
Octane boosters are only good for increasing your octane by 2-3%, meaning that if you have 91 octane gas and toss in a can of booster, you will only increase your octane by 2.75 octane at most, leaving you with roughly 94 octane gas.
Another thing to consider is that going from 9:1 to 10:1 compression will maybe net you a peak of 10 HP at peak RPM, and in my mind, thats not worth the added expense of the fuel or most likely the pistons to get it, as well as the slighltly shortened lower end life. The choice is yours.
Just my $2 worth, Thanks.
|Thanks for the info guys. One other thing: This truck is more than likely gonna be a toy, mostly a weekend cruising, street/strip affair, so streetability isn't a huge factor. I want it to run on 93, or at least 93 with little octane booster, so I was planning on around 9.5-10 to one compression. I plan on travelling home to check the motor out this weekend, see what I can come up with on casting numbers, and get a better idea of what I'm dealing with. Another thing: as far as the heads go, how much of a difference is there among the 360 and 390 castings, as far as flow goes. I know the 428 castings will be the best, but they are just a little expensive, from what I've seen on ebay. Are there any particular castings I should keep an eye out for? Again, I appreciate this guys, keep it coming!
|Max Keith
FE Block
390s only came stock with a 2 bbl to the best of my knowledge in the GT Fairlanes and Comets off 66-67, and in 68-71 Full Sized Fords. Anything else with a 2 bbl would be a 332/352/360. The 4 bbl swap is worth the effort, and that stock 4 bbl intake flows about as good as most aftermarket intakes; the biggest advantage of the after market jobs is in the losing of about 50 lbs. weight.
A good buildup would consist of first finding out exactly what you have.
What compression ratio, displacement, condition of the internals, etc.
Basics would be a 9-9.5:1 compression, and if its a pre 71 engine, the installation of hardened valve seats in the exhaust side. hardened seats arent needed on the intake side.
I wouldnt go with a real stout cam, staying in the area of 210-220 degrees duration. I have a preferance for cams with a narrow lobe separation, 108-110 degrees, however, most cams being ground for street today seem to be over 110 degrees. Since the FE block has very better than average flow on the exhaust side, going to a dual pattern cam isnt that much of a boost over a single pattern, as it would be with a SBF.
The Crane Energizer 266H10 , would be ideal an profile for your engine. One reason I do recommend Crane Cams in Fords over other brands is that Crane did all of Fords R&D for their performance grinds back in the 60's, when Ford woke up and went kicking everyones tails all over the planet in just about every form of racing you could think of. This cam would work well in just about any FE block you was to put it in. (Exception is a 427 unless its the 390 HP version produced in 69, which ran the same hydraulic cam as the 428).
A good set of headers and free flowing exhaust with a crossover tube or even running a single exhaust of 4 inch diameter would be even better if you have someone in the area that can work with that large of exhaust system. Barring that, running 2 1/4 inch duals would be the best way out.
I would go with a 600 CFM carb.
Providing you dont have any serious parts to replace, the rest of your $2000 will be pretty well ate up by your standard rebuild kit, block prepping and if needed, cleaning up the cylinders, which requires new pistons, and possibly the need to clean up the crankshaft as well.
Being this is a daily driver and you arent going to be running high rpm, I would opt for iron rings over cromalloy, being they are less expensive, quicker and easier to break in, and as far as life expectency, I havent seen where cromalloy rings are that big a deal there either.
With this setup you could expect to pick up an easy 50-60 HP over what you are currently running, and if you are running an autmatic trans, wont have to bother with going to a high stall converter, which I have never recommended for the street, unless you were running a real barn burner.
|crazy larry
i started with a stock 360 truck motor.
got a 390 crank, rods, and pistons.
chamfered all the oil passages
found a set of heads on ebay that had not been picked up for cheap...cleaned up the heads with a port match, and blend into the runners. three angle valve job.
edelbrock intake, cam, lifters, and carb.
arp fasteners
got the edelbrock stuff from jegs, wish i had known of ebay then, the rest of the stuff i got on ebay, for a lot less than i paid for the edelbrock stuff.
i have receipts for the motor totaling a hair over 2k. and it runs like a bat out of hell.
edelbrock heads are expensively cheap horsepower. but you ought to check these out.....click
heres the head guys site.
boy. i can't wait til i get to build a seriously bad motor. it's gonna be great!!!
It all depends upon what year and how the engine is assembled. It may be a low compression 360/390 (2V). It needs to come apart on the bench and be identified as to actually what it is. You will not believe the many ways they were built over the years. Once you establish what you have, then you can hawk out the rebuild and modifications.
Two areas they usually lacked in were cylinder heads and cam timing. But they do make one nice pickup engine.
|Anybody?? Seriously guys. I looked up most of the basic rebuild parts at work today and it looks like it shouldn't be too expensive. I already have a cast four bbl intake and carb for it. All I really need to know is what these motors respond to. Porting? Bigger cam? More compression? I know I'll have to get a new dist., I just don't want to deal with points. Come on fellas, how do I make this motor come alive?
|I miss my 390 :sniff: It was all stock, less headers, factory 4bbl intake topped with a 4010, mallory unilite and a small .500" cam{5200 rpm max} spinning a 3000 stall thru a C6 with a stage 3 shift kit and 3.25 posi. I put a NOS brand 125 shot on it and smoked a claimed 12 sec truck. I miss my '69 390 SWB Ranger!
Considering the condition of the truck, and who we bought it from, it's doubtful that that is the original engine. All I know is that it is an FE block, and could very well be anything from a 332 to a 428. All I DO know is that I was told it was a recently rebuilt 390 when it was purchased, which I doubt, but we'll see when I get it apart. Well, assuming it's a 390, we'll go back to my original question:
What would be a good buildup for the engine, with a budget of about $2000?
Thanks guys.
Oh yeah, another thing. When we bought the truck, it had a 2 bbl intake and carb on it, but he included a 4 bbl intake for the motor. Which of those engines originally came equipped with a 4 bbl?
The 410 was only put in some 1966-67 Mercury vehicles. I had a landlord, years ago, that had a 410 in his 66 Park Lane convertible.

Houston, we have a solution. The University of St. Thomas, in collaboration with the Dr. Ronald E. McNair Educational Science Literacy Foundation, hosted the D.R.E.M.E. @ UST Science Summer Science Camp from July 30-Aug. 1.
Serving 42 high school students from the Greater Third Ward area, the camp strengthened University efforts in K-12 education and will complete UST's requirement from the U.S. Department of Education to promote and support students, research and studies in the fields of science, technology, engineering and math.
The administrator and faculty involved were Dean of Extended Programs Dr. Ravi Srinivas, Associate Professor of Biology Dr. Maia Larios-Sanz and Assistant Professor Dr. Jill Dewey. Larios-Sanz and Dewey were the co-instructors for the camp. Four UST National Science Foundation S-STEM scholars and biology majors served as interns.
"The students were really engaged and eagerly participated in all the activities," Larios-Sanz said. "They really were a bright bunch, and I think we achieved what we set out to do: engage students in science by letting them do science. All of the activities were very hands-on, so they got to do things for themselves. They also got a feel for a college setting the types of work they can do with a science career."
Foundation Chair Cheryl McNair attended the entire camp at St. Thomas to see the young scholars think critically and with interest in front of the microscope.
"The students engulfed the scientific method while dissecting frogs, snakes, rats and more," McNair said. "Additionally, they took swabs of areas inside and outside to gather bacteria to study. The campers showed great interest by asking many questions while completing tasks as they learned to extract DNA from bananas as well as their cheeks. They also learned information about detecting diseases and isolating DNA that could lead to the identity of a person."
The Foundation is named in honor of physicist and astronaut Dr. Ronald McNair, who died in the ill-fated space shuttle Challenger. The Foundation's mission is to promote educational programs designed to strengthen and support teaching and learning of science, technology, engineering and mathematics at all levels – elementary, middle school, high school and college.
McNair recently won the Aerospace Awareness Award from Women in Aerospace, a non-profit organization dedicated to expanding women's opportunities for leadership and increasing their visibility within the aerospace community.
"The D.R.E.M.E. Camp partnership this summer with St. Thomas was a phenomenal experience for our young high school learners," McNair said. "Life and health sciences were presented to our youth in an exciting way with present-day, relevant and cutting edge information and hands-on activities. This exposure has had a great affect on many of the students as they have now mentioned a desire to study more and possibly attain careers in related fields of science, such as biological life science, inclusive of the studies that they received at UST."
This year, St. Thomas secured funding for D.R.E.M.E. @ UST from donors Ginger and Jack Blanton, C. Gregory Evans and Richard Stork.

I heartily endorse the idea, for four reasons. (1) What better way to herald the new Age of Civility than by drafting a guy known for comparing Al Qaeda favorably to Fox News and calling certain conservative women "mashed-up bags of meat with lipstick"? May a thousand healing flowers bloom. (2) Traffic goldmine. Think back on all the mileage we got out of Alan "Teacups" Grayson in two short years in Congress. Having Olby locked in for six probably means I can retire early. (3) This may well be the only way the GOP can pick up a seat in Connecticut. Although, if Linda McMahon runs again, who knows? "Senator Al Franken" sounded ridiculous once upon a time too (and still does, actually). Good work, Minnesota voters. (4) Guys like Olby and Teacups are actually useful as chronic reminders to the left that they have their own little rhetorical storm fronts contributing to the "climate of hate." That's why I often found it hard at times to get too worked up over Grayson: You could always count on him to turn the ball over and hand righties an easy lay-up. If only all players were so easy to guard.
Started by DailyKos contributor who goes by the moniker "Stranded Wind," the movement is still very much in its infancy, and is likely to be seen as delusional by its detractors. Still, its a rather impressive reaction that says more about the loyal following that Olbermann engendered from the DailyKos, even if detractors are certain to portray this as a joke, or if there is realistically very little chance for a potential senate run.
The thinking is summed up "He is, however, just old enough, smart enough, polished enough, and has all of the other attributes that would make him a darned good Senator for the state of Connecticut," adding "So we decided we'd draft him to replace Joe Lieberman." There are some concerns for NOT doing this, but those get addressed as well…
So far the "movement" has set up a Facebook page (that has roughly 430 fans at this point), a Twitter feed called @DraftOlbermann and plans to launch a website early this week.
Another virtue of Olby running? Given the size of his severance deal (allegedly), he could probably fund his own campaign. And even if he couldn't, let's face it — there'd be plenty of MoveOn types willing to kick in. Bottomless coffers! Exit question: Olbermann vs. McMahon in Connecticut with Obama at the top of the ticket. Who wins?

Just got a PM9 and so far I really love it! Extremely reliable (even during break-in) and fun to shoot.
I will sometimes carry the PM9 with me while backpacking -- where there is a significant chance of things getting occasionally wet. In most cases I also won't be able to do a thorough cleaning for several days while on the trail.
I know the slide is stainless; but what about the other metal parts?

AMES, Iowa – The Meredith Corporation and Edwin T. Meredith Foundations are honoring Successful Farming Editor in Chief Loren Kruse with a $25,000 donation to the Iowa 4-H Foundation. The donation establishes an endowment honoring outstanding 4-H volunteers for their leadership, the Iowa 4-H Foundation announced today.
The Successful Farming/Loren Kruse Outstanding 4-H Leader Award will be given annually to one 4-H volunteer leader, nominated by a 4-H'er or group of 4-H'ers. The annual $1,000 award acknowledges 4-H volunteer leaders who have inspired 4-H'ers to reach potentials far beyond what they could achieve without guidance and encouragement from caring adult volunteers. The award is permanently endowed by the Meredith Corporation Foundation and Edwin T. Meredith Foundations.
Kruse, who retired from Successful Farming after a 36-year career, is a long-time supporter of Iowa 4-H, the youth development program of Iowa State University Extension and Outreach, and a past president of the Iowa 4-H Foundation board of directors.
"When Loren served on the Iowa 4-H Foundation board, he spoke many times throughout the state. When representing the magazine, he spoke to groups across the country. His speeches often included a story about the value of his 4-H club leader who believed in him and encouraged him," said Albert Grunenwald, chief operating officer for the Iowa 4-H Foundation.
Grunenwald shared a letter Kruse addressed to Iowa 4-H supporters several years ago. Kruse wrote, "I think back to my bumbling early attempts as a 10-year-old speaker. I remember those 4-H leaders who encouraged me not to give up, but to keep working and practicing, and to find out how good I could really be. I will always be grateful to the dedicated volunteer leaders and extension professionals who lead America's 4-H programs. These people through 4-H made a difference in my life. They taught me life skills I use every day."
Each annual recipient of the Successful Farming/Loren Kruse Outstanding 4-H Leader Award will have five options for use of the funds:
The first Successful Farming/Loren Kruse Outstanding 4-H Leader Award will be presented next summer at the 2013 Iowa 4-H Youth Conference, Grunenwald said. Individual 4-H'ers and 4-H clubs will have an opportunity to nominate a current or alumni leader by Feb. 1, 2013, coinciding with other state 4-H recognition and award deadlines.

WATCH: Video teaches children that U.S. policy caused 9/11
Americans everywhere were outraged to discover fifth grade students in Texas were being taught that United States foreign policy decisions helped cause the tragic 9/11 terrorist attacks. TheBlaze reported last week that students in Corpus Christi, Texas were required to watch a controversial video, distributed by digital education company Safari Montage, and then take an accompanying quiz that placed blame on the U.S., not radical Islam, for the 2001 World Trade Center attacks, which left nearly 3,000 people dead.
Following a firestorm over the quiz question, Safari Montage pulled the question from its program. However, the company has no plans to pull the actual video, which essentially teaches the exact same point found in the quiz question. The company that created the video, Schlessinger Media, just so happens to be owned by Safari Montage.
The video, titled "Remembering September 11th," was published in 2002, just one year after 9/11. The video has been taught in "tens of thousands" of schools across the country for the better part of a decade, Safari Montage Executive Editor Lori Griffin told TheBlaze in an email.
TheBlaze has reviewed the video in question. Here's word-for-word what is taught in the video:
Kid: "Why would the terrorists be so mad at us anyway?"
Man: "A lot of people blame the United States for problems around the world."
Kid: "I don't get it."
Man: "America is such a big and powerful country that the decisions we make here affect other countries around the world. And a lot of people think that we don't use our power the right way. That's because sometimes the things we do here can have a negative effect on other countries. And a lot of people disagree with the decisions and policies that the United States has."

The Socialist Republic of Vietnam Vs. Striking Workers
Molly'sBlog 2010-10-21 16:54:00. Anarchoblogs in English (2010-10-22):
INTERNATIONAL LABOUR VIETNAM:SUPPORT VIETNAMESE WORKER ACTIVISTS:It's just another day in another workers' paradise, and three workers are due to go on trial for organizing a strike. The "proletarian justice" they may face can mean up to 15 years in prison. Here's the story and appeal from the online labour solidarity...
In the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, three young labor leaders -- Doan Huy Chuong, Nguyen Hoang Quoc Hung, and Do Thi Minh Hanh -- have been jailed for 8 months, and are now facing as much as 15 years in prison face as much as 15 years in prison. The reason for this government prosecution and state violence against them is that they worked in an organised manner, distributed leaflets expressing discontent about working conditions and about the authorities, and helped organize a strike at the My Phong shoe factory.

I want to post a poll based upon who have done one, the other, or both!
Personally, it seems as though the Empire helmet was much less hastily done, and has far as less deliberate painting processes that the Jedi helmet. As far as difficulty (I actually see the Jedi Helmet being far more difficult due to the randomness of the details throughout). Both processes seem to be much different, and results different as well.
What are your thoughts for someone tackling a helmet for the first time, and which one to knock out first!?

Canon City schools stepping up security
Superintendent unveils 11 point security plan
CANON CITY, Colo. - In the wake of the Sandy Hook school massacre, Canon City schools are revisiting their safety plans.
"It's a good time to look at our procedures and see what has changed in the way of best practices in school security," said Superintendent Robin Gooldy.
On Monday, he met with Canon City Police to go over their new 11 point security plan.
"It is possible on one school day statistically to have up to five officers visiting a school," said Police Chief Paul Schultz.
The plan includes increasing police presence, special emergency code words and more communication with parents.
"So that they understand a lockout, a lock down, what all those procedures mean and what to expect. Also, it's to educate them on the best thing they can do to help us with a situation. For example, don't rush to school to get your kid out of school when the school is probably the safest place for their child at that time," said Gooldy.
The new plan is in effect, but Gooldy said it is always a work in progress.
The district is meeting with school leaders from Littleton, Co. next week.

I met up with Robert Tomes, who wrote the book Muskie on the Fly. Not surprisingly, when he fishes saltwater he chases permit.
"I like fish that don't like me," he said.
The comment turned the discussion to mapping the personal evolution of the fly angler.
Making the commitment to learn to cast a fly rod, and then catch fish with it, means you've already made a decision to make things harder on yourself.
At the beginning the focus is on just getting that one fish to fall in line. That first fish on the fly is like the stamp on your hand as proof of admission.You never want to wash it off.
Then it becomes kind of a numbers game; success is measured in the amount caught. Some people never grow beyond here, and that's ok.
But for others the numbers at some point become meaningless.
Defined success gradually comes full circle, returning again to the act of catching a single fish. It evolves into a game about degrees of difficulty, where fishless days do not count as failures but as dues paid towards a singular goal–the one where you put everything together to hook a fish that has no business being hooked, a fish that prior to your presentation had used up every weapon in its arsenal to avoid this predicament. It's high times.
The clinical term for this is masochism.

By Giuseppe Muro
Emmanuel Eboue insists his defensive instincts took over and his only intention was to win the ball when he committed a careless tackle on Birmingham's Liam Ridgewell on Saturday.
The Ivorian received a yellow card for the foul from referee Martin Atkinson and, given the current debate around tackling in the Premier League, the incident has been highlighted in the media.
Eboue insists his intentions were good and he never thought of injuring his opponent.
"When I did that tackle I didn't go to do anything bad," said the 27-year-old. "I just wanted to get the ball. I'm a defender so when I did that tackle I didn't want to kill him. I just wanted to get the ball.
"The referee spoke to me after the game. He told me: 'I know you touched the ball but your tackle was very, very dangerous.' I said 'OK, no problem', so next time I will be more careful.
"We are not a dirty team. We like to play football and make everybody happy when we play.
"He [Arsène Wenger] has never told us about bad tackles or about anything. He just told us to play our football."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc. Permission to use quotations from this article is granted subject to appropriate credit being given to www.arsenal.com as the source

Heller, Berkley spar on health care, immigration
October 12, 2012
LAS VEGAS — Republican Sen. Dean Heller and Democratic challenger Rep. Shelley Berkley quarreled over health care, immigration and tax breaks for oil companies in the second debate of their acrimonious campaign Thursday night.The encounter began with Heller proposing the candidates treat each other "respectfully" — a notable request after millions of dollars of slashing, personal attack ads and a contentious first debate in Reno last month. Heller tried to cast himself as a champion of bipartisan, sensible solutions, while Berkley contended the Senator was really supporting big corporations like insurance and oil companies."We need ideas and solutions in Washington, D.C., and we need someone who recognizes that and is willing to work with both sides," said Heller, who was appointed last year to fill out the term of Sen. John Ensign after he resigned in a sex scandal. Berkley, a seven-term congresswoman from Las Vegas, defended her own behavior amid a Congressional ethics investigation of whether she improperly interceded to help the business interests of her husband, a nephrologist. "I'm working every day to make sure we create good-paying jobs right here in the state of Nevada," Berkley said. "At a time when Nevada families need a champion in the United States Senate, my opponent is playing for the wrong side."The live televised debate was interrupted by a five-minute power outage due to a violent storm tearing through Las Vegas. The power cut out just as Heller was arguing that the country needs more energy generated in North America.The contest is one of the most heated Senate races in the country, the focus of massive spending not only by the two campaigns but by outside partisan groups. Democrats see the race as one of their best opportunities to pick up a seat in the Senate, while Republicans hope to gain control of the chamber if Heller holds on and they take other open seats elsewhere. Polls have showed the candidates are neck-and-neck.The first question from moderator Mitch Fox was directed at Berkley, asking if, in retrospect, she would have refrained from voting on legislation to raise Medicare reimbursement rates that benefited her husband. "I don't think that I could have disclosed more and I don't think I should have abstained," Berkley replied, saying it was one of 114 bills to improve health care she supported. "The people of the state of Nevada elected me to stand for them and fight for them."Heller declined to take a swipe at Berkley on the matter, instead shifting to an attack on President Obama's health care law, which Berkley voted for. "Within five years you're going to be taken away from your doctor….and thrown in a government pool," he warned.The two tangled over financial reform — Berkley admitted a 1999 vote for legislation to deregulate banks was an error but blasted Heller for voting against the latest version of Wall Street regulation known as Dodd-Frank — tax breaks for oil companies, and immigration. Heller was challenged over his support for English-only laws and legislation to end citizenship for children born in this country to illegal immigrants. The senator, who has aggressively courted the Hispanics who comprise 15 percent of Nevada's electorate, replied that he wanted comprehensive immigration reform. He said he backed that and English-only laws to help immigrants. "The principles that I'm trying to support is trying to make these people succeed. I want them to succeed here in this country." Berkley pointed out that Heller voted against the Dream Act, which would allow people brought to the U.S. illegally as children to obtain citizenship if they serve in the military or graduate high school, and supports Arizona's controversial immigration law. Berkley herself was on the defensive when asked why she voted against a bill that would allow the opening of a copper mine in northern Nevada. She said she had sponsored the original bill but rejected the version that Republicans brought to the floor because it was larded up with unrelated measures. She said she wants to vote for a "clean" bill.Heller replied: "Only in Washington, D.C., can you say you're for a bill and vote against it."Berkley pressed Heller on his support for both versions of Republican vice presidential candidate's budget, which would open Medicare to private insurance companies. "You don't fix Medicare," she said, "by killing it."Heller noted that his own parents depend on Medicare and Social Security and that he wants to find ways to preserve the programs.

Big Ups from the Type Director's Club
Well, this is just awesome. I was recently informed that my book cover for I Love Dollars in addition to mine and Jill's wedding invite were both selected as entries in the Type Director's Club's annual competition. It's a lot easier to type this out than it is to speak about it because my jaw is still rolling around on the floor somewhere. Thank you and I'm honored and thank you.
