text: I think the existing system is pretty good. The bottom teams have to get the best players in the draft in an attempt to make all teams competitive. By having a lottery, it eliminates the guarantees of tanking for a draft position. Perhaps you could lock in the draft position with a month left in the season. That way, losing end-of-season games would not improve your chances of getting a pick.

Air tankers go after 2 SW Colo. wildfires
October 18, 2012
DURANGO – Air tankers were enlisted Thursday to fight two wildfires in southwest Colorado.
The U.S. Forest Service says that two heavy air tankers from Albuquerque, N.M., dropped retardant o the Vallecito Fire. That blaze has not forced any evacuations, though 35 to 40 homes in Montezuma County have gotten pre-evacuation orders.
Also, two single-engine air tankers ordered from Fort Collins started work Thursday battling the Little East Fire.

Moody's cuts ratings of six Canadian lenders
By Cameron French
(Reuters) - Moody's Investors Service has cut the ratings of six Canadian financial institutions, including the previously "Aaa" rated Toronto-Dominion Bank, due to concerns about rising consumer debt and high housing prices.
TD, the only publicly traded bank that still carried Moody's top rating, was downgraded, along with Bank of Nova Scotia, Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, Bank of Montreal, National Bank of Canada and Caisse Central Desjardins, Canada's largest association of credit unions, Moody's said on Monday.
The cuts, which were widely anticipated after Moody's put the lenders on credit watch in October, were all by one notch.
Ratings downgrades typically lift the cost of borrowing for the affected financial institution.
However, investors did not seem perturbed by the action, as shares of all five TSX-listed banks rose on Monday, led by Scotiabank, which climbed 0.8 percent to C$58.95.
"I'm not surprised to see that there wasn't a lot of market movement, I think it's already been reflected in the market," said Tom Lewandowski, a St. Louise-based analyst at Edward Jones.
"In my opinion, it's jut an additional acknowledgement of the risks that are out there."
The only major Canadian bank not included in the cut was top player Royal Bank of Canada. That was because Moody's cut RBC's ratings by two notches last June as part of a review of 17 global banks. Continued...

Opening Hour
17.00 - 02.00
Opening Days
Monday - Sunday
Tarabar is the latest restaurant to open on the banks of the Ping River. With a fabulous range of acoustic and jazz tunes you are afforded a near perfect, tranquil dining experience at their open-air terrace. Under a blanket of stars with the sway of the river at your side, relaxing music and good food, what more could you ask for? Well, you could start with the not-so-quiet section downstairs. This is geared up for the younger, more rambunctious crowd, with hip-hop tunes, indie-rock, folk, dance and of course, a bit of mainstream pop: totally different from the kick-off-your-flip-flops sphere upstairs. Tarabar serves the usual Thai dishes, with an addition of choice Vietnamese dishes. There is also a traditional northern Thai food section in the menu. Word on the street is that Tarabar is quickly becoming a Chiang Mai fashion statement.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
I changed my mind on my reply. Doesn't matter and isn't going to change things, anyway.
I'm finding that even after retiring from the Air Force almost 15 years ago, I still have to push the "Old Sarge" back into the closet occasionally.
Unless the block was at the maximum, which I know can go 4" in most cases, I don't understand why it is JUNK.
Why didn't you have them bore one hole clean to see how far it needed to go?? From everything said so far it sounds like you were trying to make it work for a specific set of pistons and not to get it right. Unless they have some new instruments I am unaware of, any block that was as you described would need bored out to clear the rust and then bored to the needed oversize. It still sounds like you were aiming at a specific oversize. With the description you have given, I can't see the blame that the shop is getting. If it needed bored larger, they shouldn't have installed the cam bearings. However cam bearings are cheap and they could have removed them and continued boring until it was clean. This story is all one sided and I doubt that we are getting the complete story. I still don't see the blame here, what shop is it? I'd like to call them and get their side.
The guy I got this '62 283 from had it sitting outside for only-God-knows how long. He told me that he had this 283 sitting beside his house and I could have it - free- just come get it. When I got it home and took the heads off, there was lots of crud and what looked like calcium deposits on the inside of two cylinders (7 and 4, I believe). On the inside of the heads, in the intake valley, etc, etc, it looked like the oil hadn't been changed since the engine was originally built. But it was worth the price and I was hoping, but not really expecting that it could be rebuilt. So you win some - you lose some. How they say in the home-land, "Oh, well".
Anyway, there's a machine shop going out of the machining business here in Albuquerque. He's going to continue in the car repair business, but not machine work. So he's selling off the 'extra' blocks and cranks he has in the back that have already been bored and turned. I bought a '59 283 bored .040 for $90. He also had a crank already turned .020 mains and .030 rods for $25 (I sold two Powerglide transmissions yesterday for $125 - I only paid $40 for the pair) so that paid for this '59 block/crank. The original machine shop is going to take this block and hone it, install all freeze plugs and cam bearings, all at no charge. I lose the cost of the bore job on the '62 but it could have been much worse.
Btw - the '59 block has a dime-size chip on the bottom of the #8 cylinder wall on the inside - close to the cam. Will this cause any problems? Doesn't appear to be cracked.
I'll keep y'all posted on the outcome of everything as time goes on. Thanks for all the info, suggestions, and advice and support.
I am not sure that it 2008 this machine shop can be defended. But if this is an old school machine shop, this would have been a 30K grocery getter rebuild, back in the day. Perfectly OK for that use. NOT for a hi-po build. I think we all should go to the machine shop so we can convey what we're after with the build. I think going through a third party to get this done and not communicating directly contributed to the problem.
According to the guys who looked at the block Friday afternoon, the rust was on the inside of the cylinders - not coming through from the water jackets - and would destroy the rings in a very short time. The rust is not the machine shop's fault, obviously, block was cleaned and then inspected prior to boring. Then after seeing the rust pits on the inside of the cylinder walls boring each cylinder and still seeing the rust pits, they installed the cam bearings and freeze plugs instead of calling and telling us that the block was essentially trash. That's why I'm going to try to get a refund of all except the cost of boiling or vatting the block.
|Have you determined if the rust is from the inside-out....that is ; Water Jacket rust bleeding thru?
"Freshly Bored" '62 283
This past Friday I took this block to work with me with the intention of taking off a couple hours early and going around to various machine shops to get their 2nd and 3rd opinions. I looked in the phone book and wrote down 6 different shops and headed over in that direction. I had no idea the name or location of the shop who did the job. I didn't find the first shop (somewhere on 3rd Street here in Albuquerque), but next door was a machine shop and I went in and asked the boss to come out and look at the block in the back of my truck. He saw the rust pits and said the block was trash. I asked if he would use it in a street rod he was building and he essentially said 'no way' - then he saw a sheet-metal shop's identification ring on the block. He looked at that ring and said, 'Hey wait a minute. This is one of our jobs - we're the only shop in town that puts that identification ring on the blocks. Is this a 283?...." and went back into their 'showroom'. He talked with another guy behind the counter and started back peddaling really fast. The other guy remembered the block and still wanted to tell me that this block with the rust pits "is still good, they couldn't bore it any larger, and that it shouldn't give any problems"...... I thought it was priceless that the first shop I stopped at just to get an opinion was the one that did the crappy work. I then went to three more shops and all said that the block should have been trashed before being bored and that no shop should have bored it and then put the cam bearings and freeze plugs in knowing the condition of the block. So, yesterday morning, I gave the block back to the "auto parts shop" that I initially dealt with and told the manager everything that went on the day before. I figure it's really their problem since I went to them for the work and they had to farm it out. I'll find out more tomorrow.
A couple months ago I purchased three Powerglide transmissions from a guy in town for $50 (for all three). I used one that was literally falling apart for a $10 core charge on a 700R4. Today I sold the other two for $125. Still trying to sell a 3.8L Ford V6 and a '57 283.
Again, thanks for all the advice, suggestions, and support.
"Freshly Bored" '62 283
I really appreciate the feedback from everyone. I'm taking a couple hours this Friday and take the block to various machine shops to get their inputs - since they will be able to eyeball the block. Then I'll be going back to the 'parts house' (I still don't want to name them unless they don't want to take responsibility for their 'subcontractor' - the machine shop's - work). They very well may, and then I'll give them all the public praise , otherwise they'll get all the public condemnation.
I'll keep y'all posted on the progress/outcome.
Thanks muches
Don't know if they are still in business or not, but check for Knighton's Automotive Machine Shop at 221 Granite NW in Albuquerque. They did the machine work and balancing of my 383 and it is still superb. You may also look for a shop that could be listed as Todd's Racing, or some other form. He specializes in Building IMSA engines.
After all this, my attitude toward this block would be WHY???
|I don't think it's appropriate to put all the blame on the machine shop...those pits aren't his fault. Not knowing what machine was used, if it was a wet machine the pitting may not have been apparent until clean-up. Installing the cam bearings is another thing.Not having been privy to the dialog between customer and shop, I will pass on the judgement of the shop.Reality is that it is a 46 year old block and .060 would have been lucky to clean it up anyway. I can't determine from the pics, but I would probably pass on using it as it sets. Because of the blocks age another question comes to my mind...are those pits from the cooling jackets that were exposed?? If they are in the block now and they were external, the bores would have looked like crap to begin with. Pits that deep after a bore would have to have been HUGE before boring.I think a .060 overbore would have been very optimistic. Having worked as a machinist for too long, I have had customers bring in blocks they wanted bored to a set of pistons already owned. Usually it is a deal they got, many times they are used.If it took more to clean them up than the oversize of the piston set they had, they would take whatever product it was just to keep from buying another piston set. We would typically mike the cylinders and check with a taper gauge and bore the worst first, to determine how far it had to go. I think the chicken excrement comment applies here.
We see blocks like that once and a while but not quite that bad and get with the customer before we bore the block and tell there could be some issues with pitting and most of the time its not a big issue.
The one in the pic is really bad, On that one I would tell my customer its hard to make chicken soup out of chicken s-hyt!!!!!!
Reminds me of Teddy Roosevelt's advice......
"Walk softly and carry a big stick"
In my experience, nothing beats a good piece of Hickory
"Shouldn't be any problem", yeah right That is some really shoddy work and I would not take it as gospel those bores are square either.
"Freshly Bored" '62 283
Part shop guy just called. He called several engine shops around Albuquerque and was told that, from what he described, there 'shouldn't be any problems'. I'm gonna load it into the back of my truck and take it to a couple shops to get their opinions first-hand before I go and do anything to it.

The joys of (online) Christmas (shopping)
December 14, 2013 , 9:19 AM by Megan Spencer
This Chrismas, have you found yourself turning to shopping online for groceries and gifts?
You wouldn't be alone, with online shopping in the regions on the rise, and more and more local businesses turning to online shopping as a way to boost their bottom lines.
Photo: Bendigo Organics
But is it a good thing? Has convenience trumped social contact? And what about service? Does that count any more, in the contemporary shopping experience?
Evan Davies runs an organic fruit & veg shop in Central Victoria, which has both online and in-store sales. As a regional small business operator, he's that found online shopping has pros and cons when it comes to business - and the community.
Evan was a guest on Saturday Breakfast with Megan Spencer - hear what he has to say, below.
Find online shopping more convenient this Christmas?Or do you miss the service and social contact of shopping in a real, live shop, with people behind the counter??

I don't understand the raid requires 50 cr , mine's 64 I know it's not much but more than needed yet almost all raid get one shot by the adds , the boss was easier than the adds mainly cause he was 1 , while adds are many , soon after beating the boss raid ran into a "wall" maybe 9 adds in a bunch ~3 or 4 melee rest ranged and 1 shot any1 getting near it , wiped maybe 10 times till the raid disbanded.... And I'm sure ppl were higher cr than 50 , but why does it let you enter the instance with cr that gets you one shot
Please let this be real.

In an era of increased use of interactive touchscreen devices, consumers have grown accustomed to working with flat, rigid glass-based displays. A research effort based at Northwestern University aims to change this format, however, with a bendable display that behaves similarly to printed paper.
Materials science professor Mark Hersam and his team of researchers at the McCormick School of Engineering and Applied Science have developed a process to print flexible layers of graphene that are highly conductive. In fact, the novel ink is 250 times more conductive than previous graphene-based technologies—a major breakthrough considering that carbon-based materials such as graphene tend to exfoliate, requiring oxidizing solutions or solvents that decrease conductivity.
The new approach utilizes ethanol and ethyl cellulose to create a high-quality powder of graphene flakes used to create the ink. Based on the success of their research, the scientists anticipate the production of low-cost, high-resolution electronic newspapers or tablets that can be rolled up and stashed in a pocket.
"Graphene has a unique combination of properties that is ideal for next-generation electronics, including high electrical conductivity, mechanical flexibility, and chemical stability," said professor Hersam in a university press release. "By formulating an inkjet-printable ink based on graphene, we now have an inexpensive and scalable path for exploiting these properties in real-world technologies."

While there is nothing intrinsically wrong with artificial depictions of sex and violence, permitting a child to read, see, or hear them, particularly when delivered in extremely graphic detail, is nothing short of criminal negligence. That which an adult can discern and accept as "mere entertainment," a child sees as reality and a role model.
Thus, the problem is not so much Hollywood's presentation of Reservoir Dogs or Deep Throat, as it is the criminally negligent behavior of the parent who permits the child to see either one. Let us not excoriate an entire industry, rather than place the blame on bad parenting, where it belongs.
The worst part of Hollywood's behavior is not the production of violent and sexually explicit movies, but rather the hypocrisy of presenting movies like Death Wish and True Grit while, at the same time, militating as an entire industry for so-called "gun control" (that is, elimination and confiscation).

haha i agree i may be over doing it i just want to be comfortable and be able to spend my mind with out going crazy just starring at the walls of my cabin on rainy days....i will post some pics of the cabin tomorrow and let yall take a look and see if anyone has any ideas....there is alot of space where a kitchenette used to be but i dont intend to put it back in the boat...but the slide out sink it had may be convenient....
Re: Chasing my dream
Campmor.com is a great site for camping equipment, check out the jetboil stove, I used one on my motorcycle cross country camping trips. That and a bottle of water was all I needed, you have the luxury of living in a Marina which will give you access to hot showers, toilet that flush, etc. You could even put a grill on the dock if your marina will allow it.

real live onboard amenities are more long-term important than a flat-screen tv.
besides, you're living in a marina, which, next to a trailer park, is the best damn real life reality tv you can find.
Forget dorm fridges and winecoolers and any other dirt-designed half-assed solutions. combine your flat-screen fund with your fridge fund and buy one of these:

post some pics of your cabin- you may have space you can utilize and don't even realize it, for example building in a sliding sink that slides into the quarterberth for example, or one that folds up in the head. Some omnboard water storage will also make you less dock-dependent- it's a sailboat, not a houseboat, dammit!
Re: Chasing my dream
so the space in my cabin is very small so that ive come to notice...i have a coleman stove that im using for cooking however i cant find a small enough fridge to fit into the cabin the only one i could find was a mini wine cooler does anyone know if these will cool down enough to keep food fresh?? its only like 4 dollars more than a min fridge and i kinda like the glass door any info would be great...as well anyone got an idea of where to store or mount a microwave or should i scratch the idea....???

Re: Chasing my dream
We had a 24 foot Newport Neptune for 10 years before moving up to a 34' Irwin sloop. Longest living aboard - 2 weeks. Suggestions: use a two burner coleman stove - if you have alchohol, ditch it. You can take the bottle of propane and unscrew it outside of the cabin - I always did to make sure no gas (which sinks) escaped in the cabin. Then store bottle and stove in separate lazarettes. We took the space of the alchohol stove and the void below and made a wood counter top to put the Coleman on, and a work surface, and used the interior space for pots and pans. Only had an icebox so we also used a small cooler for beverages so we didn't have to open the icebox all the time. Block in the cooler; best thing the new boat has is a cold plate, but it draws power, and we are still minimalists. You can get by without a sink (sort of) if you have a plastic tub, and can fill it with water either from a foot pump, or from a tea kettle of hot water, with foot pump cold added.
Let us know how you fare - I have known several livaboard couples on 26 footers - one year round and two couples for 5 months at a time - and we met a couple and their 12 year old living on a 23 foot Aquarius two years ago.

Re: Chasing my dream
I met 2 folks living on a 21 footer in Culebra. They even had a pair of dogs. Seems like they were doing fine. To me a boat is like a garage or a purse, you just fill it up and most of the stuff you don't "need".
Re: Chasing my dream
I live on a 20 foot boat for a week or two at a time so I'm used to being cramped. Living on a 24 foot boat all the time is a good way to simplify your life. My advice: keep it simple and only buy quality stuff. Eventually I'm planning to live on a small boat as well, but no on my 20ft Mirage...

Bishop, Stephen
Birth Year : 1821
Death Year : 1857
Stephen Bishop was 17 years old in 1838 when both he and Mammoth Cave were purchased by Franklin Gorin, a Kentucky attorney. A year later, they were both sold to Dr. John Croghan. Bishop, the first African American cave explorer, was the first guide and explorer of Mammoth Cave, the world's longest cave system. He knew the cave system better than all others, which made him a responsible tour guide. He also made a published map of the cave. After receiving his freedom, Bishop had planned to take his wife Charlotte and their son to live in Liberia, Africa, but he died before he could do so. Stephen Bishop is buried in the cemetery near the entrance to Mammoth Cave.

Cherokee State Park (Kentucky Lake, KY)
Start Year : 1951
Cherokee State Park was a Historic Restoration Project that was completed in 2010. The park originally opened in 1951, the third segregated park for African Americans in the United States, the first in Kentucky and the South. It was publicized as "the finest colored vacation site in the South." The area consisted of 300 acres with a beach, cottages, boat and fishing docks, a picnic area, a bathhouse, and a dining hall, which seated 200. The land was leased from the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) under a 19-year contract, and the land title was to go to Kentucky when the state was financially able to take on the facility. With the advent of desegregation, the park was closed in the 1960s and became part of Kenlake Park; only a few of the buildings remain today. For more see Cherokee State Park, a flier by the Kentucky State Parks; earlier articles in the Courier Journal (Louisville), 05/11/1946 & 05/31/1951; J.

Civil War Colored Troops, Columbus, KY
Birth Year : 1861
During the Civil War, Fort DeRussey was located within what is now the Columbus-Belmont State Park. The town of Columbus was considered the state's most powerful Confederate stronghold in 1861; the location was crucial to the defense of the Upper Mississippi River. The following year, the town would be taken over by the Union Army and Columbus would become a refuge for runaway slaves, and second to Camp Nelson for recruiting and training African American soldiers. Fort DeRussey was renamed Fort Helleck, and by the end of the war, the majority of the Union soldiers in that part of the state were African American. For more see B.

Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) Camp 510 at Mammoth Cave, KY
Start Year : 1926
The CCC camps were based at Mammoth Cave for the workers who were to transform the area into a national park, as Congress designated in 1926. One camp was specifically for African Americans. The Mammoth Cave location was thought to be ideal due to the large, readily-available labor force and the cave's remote location would allow for an African American camp because it was away from white communities. All of the CCC men were inducted at Fort Knox and received haircuts, uniforms, immunizations, discipline, assignments of hard work, and isolation. African American artist and enrollee D. W. Higgenbotham became ill and died at the site, and there were rumors that the campsite was haunted. Problems between the races resulted in the white enrollees being moved to a new location while the African Americans remained at Camp 510, which became known for a while as the "graveyard." For more see J. C. Schmitzer's thesis, The black experience at Mammoth Cave, Edmonson County, Kentucky, 1838-1942; and "CCC Camp 510: Black Participation in the Creation of Mammoth Cave National Park," Register of the Kentucky Historical Society, 1995, vol. 93, issue 4, pp. 446-464.

Claysville and Other Neighborhoods (Paris, KY)
Claysville was established by African Americans at the end of the Civil War on what was then the outskirts of Paris, KY. The community was located on land that was purchased from Samuel H. Clay, whose farm bordered the area on one side. Claysville was more of a separate community than other African American neighborhoods within Paris: it included churches, stores, and businesses. The main entrance was off Main Street, under a one lane railroad viaduct hemmed on one side by a two story building, on the other side by a stream. The entrance is still in use. The back entrance was off Winchester Street. The Branch School for African American children, where inventor Garrett A. Morgan, Sr. was educated, was located in Claysville. The community has been renamed Garrett Morgan's Place, and a Kentucky Historical Marker [number 1493] was rededicated in 2000, but most still refer to the area as Claysville. The community name was spelled Clayville on the Sanborn Maps of Paris, Bourbon County [available at Kentucky Digital Library]. A Colored school house can be found on sheet two of the Oct 1901 map. The school was located on Trilby Street, Lot H. Beginning in the 1970s, Urban Renewal razed the old structures in Claysville, new homes and housing projects were constructed, and a park was added down by the stream. Many of the present residents are descendants of Claysville's earliest home owners. Other African American areas used to exist in Paris: Cottontown, off Main Street just past the railroad overpass heading toward Millersburg, down by the creek; Newtown and Judy's Alley, off High Street heading toward Lexington (homes in both areas were replaced by housing projects); and Singles Alley, off Eighth Street heading toward Georgetown, all of its older homes torn down. Ruckersville or Ruckerville, bound by Lilleston Ave., Second Street, and a creek, had a large number of African Americans. The land is thought to have been part of the Grimes' farm at one time. The old homes were razed by Urban Renewal in the 1970s and 1980s and new homes and apartments were constructed and a park was added down by the creek. Little or nothing has been published about these areas, but a visit with the various community members will garner much more information.

The Daily Aesthetic Projects (website and oral histories)
Start Year : 1997
The Daily Aesthetic website on African American parks in Lexington, Kentucky, prior to integration in 1956.
The Daily Aesthetic Oral History Project: "This project focuses on African American culture during the time of segregated park systems in Lexington, Kentucky. These interviews, originally conducted by Boyd Shearer, Jr. for a multimedia presentation, contain descriptions of African American park activities, particularly in Douglass Park. Activities ranged from doll shows, to carnivals, to sports programs. This community also celebrated the visual arts, music, and holidays such as the 4th of July and Easter. The focus of this collection is not discrimination experienced by African Americans at this time, but rather how the park provided a place for them to come together and cultivate a sense of identity and community."

Iroquois Park (Louisville, KY)
Start Year : 1924
In 1924 two African American teachers, Margaret Taylor and Naomi Anthony, took their students to Iroquois Park for an outing. As they were leaving, the security guards and a group of whites informed the teachers that the park was for whites only. The teachers said that they were not aware of the restriction and would look into the matter. A scuffle of sorts occurred; after the teachers and students were roughly handled, it was termed a near riot, and the teachers were arrested. After several hours the women were taken to the downtown police station where a large crowd of African Americans had gathered. African American leaders and white city leaders debated the issues. The outcome -- the teachers were reprimanded by the school board, the courts fined Naomi Anthony $10 for attacking a park guard, and the Board of Park Commissioners adopted a resolution of segregation in the Louisville public parks.

His original higher education plan had been to attend Paducah to study culinary arts, but once he was seen playing football, he was encouraged to enroll and play for Kentucky State. After college, he was hired to teach and coach at the African American Rosenwald High School in Harlan, KY, and in 1946 became principal of the school. In 1948, he returned to Owensboro to become the football coach at the school he had graduated from, Western High School. The Kendall-Perkins Park in Owensboro is named in honor of Joseph N. Kendall and Joseph Perkins. For more see L. Vance, "College football hall of fame welcomes 3 African-American QBs," at blackathlete.net; S.

Negro Village Site (Marshall County, KY)
Start Year : 1938
The Negro Village Site was part of the Tennessee Valley Authority's (TVA) Kentucky Dam Project. The following information comes from the Forrest C. Pogue Public History Institute (website removed), by Bill Mulligan at Murray State University (KY). Kentucky Dam Village is located in Gilbertsville, KY, and the Kentucky Dam Village District is part of the Kentucky Dam Village State Resort Park. During the late 1930s, the workers' villages were constructed for the TVA's Kentucky Dam Project. The Negro Village was established in 1938 and removed after the dam was completed in 1945. The temporary homes had been built by Negro builders at Pickwick Landing Dam and barged downstream to the Kentucky Dam. The local people did not want the community to become a long term addition to the county. There were 19 homes, a recreation building, two dormitories and a school, which was a converted farm house. The dormitories were under-utilized, and there were not enough homes because the workers brought their families with them. Some of the families found housing in nearby towns. The village was placed away from the white village, which was in accordance with TVA policy to help keep peace between the races. Nonetheless, there were racial and social tensions between the Black and white workers, so much so that complaints were filed by the local Black Chapter of the Hod Carriers Union. Louisville had one of the largest chapters of the union, which was dominated by African Americans. The Black chapters of the Hod Carrier Unions supported the employment rights of the African American workers on TVA dam projects. In 1940 there were two fights that led to the Thanksgiving Strike that shut down the project for three days. Three workers were fired, but after reconciliations, the men were rehired. For more information, visit the Forrest C. Pogue Public History Institute site or contact the Murray State University Libraries or the Tennessee Valley Authority. See E. L. Rousey, "The Worker's life at Kentucky Dam, 1938-1945," Filson Club History Quarterly, vol. 71, issue 3 (1997), pp. 347-366.

The Richard Hazelwood Family (Henderson, KY)
The Hazelwood family members were only a few of the estimated 300,000 pioneers who made their way through the Cumberland Gap. In 1832, Daniel Hazelwood, the great-great-grandfather of Anthony Hazelwood, came through the Gap, bringing everything that he owned from Virginia to settle in Henderson County, KY. Included were his eight children and 30 slaves. One of the slaves was a young boy named Richard Hazelwood, who was born in Virginia between 1828-1830; Richard was the great-great-great-grandfather of Denyce Porter Peyton. Richard's name was among the list of slaves belonging to the estate of Daniel Hazelwood, who died in 1836. Prior to becoming a free man, Richard married Maria Floyd (or Friels), and their first child was a son named Joseph (1858-1920). When the slaves were freed, the family kept the name Hazelwood, though many of the various African American Hazelwood families in Henderson County were not blood kin. By 1900, Richard had moved his family to the city of Henderson, where he worked as a day laborer. His son Joseph would become a tenant farmer in Henderson and Daviess Counties. Joseph was married to Anna Watson in 1871; according to Denyce Porter Peyton, Anna had been an orphan and nothing is known about her family. Joseph and Anna had several children. Their daughter Edna Mae was married to James Lester Porter, the son of McDonald and Elvira Porter. The Richard Hazelwood family had been in Kentucky since 1832, but all but two of Joseph and Anna's children left Kentucky in search of better opportunities in Indiana and Ohio. In 2008, the Cumberland Gap National Historical Park completed a short film (available on DVD) of reenactments of pioneer families that came to Kentucky through the Cumberland Gap; the Hazelwood family and slaves are included in the film. For more information about the Richard Hazelwood family, contact Denyce Porter Peyton. For more information about Anthony Hazelwood, see A. Stinnett, "Businessman, community benefactor Hazelwood dies," The Gleaner, 12/08/2008. For more information about Cumberland Gap, contact the Cumberland Gap National Historical Park. See also M.

Sleettown (Perryville, KY)
Start Year : 1865
End Year : 1931
Sleettown was an African American community developed after the Civil War on 96-acres near Perryville, KY. During the war, the land had been used as a staging ground for the Confederate Army during the Battle of Perryville, the largest Civil War battle in Kentucky. The history of Sleettown was collected and written by Perryville Mayor Anne Sleet and Mary Q. Kerbaugh. The Sleet Family's earliest known ancestors were Warner and Octavia Sleet. Their sons, Henry, Preston, and George, led in the development of Sleettown. The community had a general store, eating places, and a cemetery. As younger residents began leaving for employment in the city, the population steadily decreased until the last person left Sleettown in 1931; only one old house remains standing. Pulitzer Prize winning photographer Moneta Sleet was a member of the Sleettown family. In 2007, the Kentucky Parks Department purchased the land where Sleettown had existed. The site will be used to tell the history of both the Battle of Perryville and Sleettown. For more see A. Jester, "Sleettown tells a part of the tale," Lexington Herald-Leader, 09/30/2001, KyLife section, p. J3; G.

as a florida fan in alabama all i can say is:
All I have to say: :-P
i know none cares but .................................................. ..................go gators!!
off to the national championship!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Amen brother. Good game...great result. I get almost as much joy from the Gators as I do collecting SW.
Now that all of that is out of the way......BOOMER SOONER!!!!!
bring it!!
All I have to say if your lucky SC had a brain fart against Oregon state otherwise you would be facing poss. the best defense of all time
Gator D, especially the secondary, is stout. I think it will be a good game. My hope is that OU is crowned the winner before the game starts and we roll up a nice OSU score! Go Gators!
florida just beat one of the toughest teams in the country, alabama. our defensive line was missing players ,our offense was missing one of our best guy besides tebow. and we still won. ou i doubt is as physical as alabma was. those boys play bloody nose football.
florida will be healthy for this one.
go gators!!!
I think it will be a good game. Ill root for OU but as you probably know thier track record in BCS games the last few years isnt too good :facepalm, except for the National Title in 2000. It will be quite a challenge to overcome the "home field" advantage Florida will have.
Im hoping for two Heisman quarterbacks playing in the game and lots of points. Defence is boring :thumbsup
Its no use arguing football with Tim....I just learned to drop it around that guy....even though USC totally blows this year....BWHAHAA
....you got that line from Mighty Ducks 3 you loser...LOL

|Topic Review (Newest First)
As Yoda says...
Other than that when doing ANYTHING that requires you to physically interact with the paint surface including waxing, sealers, glazes, washing, and drying the car that you move front to rear only - NOT in a circular pattern.
The reason I was taught this is simple, no matter what materials you use the end result is that you are micro-abrading the paint surface everytime you wash, wax, dry, buff etc.
Moving in front to rear patterns instead of circular reduces the lines you see after the wax starts to bleed off.
2 other things I always use which requires a little more elbow grease is Meguiars #16 paste wax (1x-2x a year max) with Meguiars #7 glaze in between -
when the surface starts to not bead water as well.
Alright, thank you. So, after using the G10, I created swirls. The G10 fills these, but doesnt remove these is my understanding? So, what would you guys recommend as Farecla's final polish before I glaze with G10? I am not super familiar with their product lines.
Thanks alot guys...I need to fix this
|You filled the swirls and now they came back. The only true way to eliminate swirl marks is to use a polish and remove them. Washing the car between steps also helps, use a dedicated pad for each stage of abrasive. Glaze sucks IMO as it's only a temporary thing to get the car out and hide flaws that will eventually show up again. Perfect your finish with a fine polish and the results will stay. Also, if you stay away from the coarse compounds you won't have to fight with swirl marks. I've seen swirls so bad done by a person using 3M's Superduty and a wool pad that the surface needed to be sanded to remove them.
|thats a course cutting compound you have used. You now need to hand polish the car with Farecla's polish. It's got acrylics in it which will fill the scratch marks ( thats the swirls you can see) . the only other alternative is to hand rub the entire car with G10 in long passes, not round passes.then go over with the polish. Farecla is great stuff but you need to be very careful when using it.
Woh-oh....swirls...parents car?!?!
Hello! I thought I'd be nice and polish my parents Black 2007 Impala. I used a Makita polisher on it's slowest speed, started with Farecla g3 and their white foam pad. I kept it wet, and went very quickly with the G3. I wiped it off, then did the entire thing with G10, again with their black glazing pad, keeping it wet. Once I was done, I buffed it out and it looked great.
Now, a few days later when the sun is out, its got some major swirl marks. And before I try to fix it, Im curious as to what went wrong. Did I not do enough G10 after the G3? Or should I use something in between the G10 and G3? Or what, I dont know. I havent had this problem with any other paint I've polished, but this IS my first time polishing black.

Training with Arsène Wenger's first-team squad has given Ignasi Miquel extra motivation to become a regular fixture in the senior side.
The young central defender has joined up with the first team in recent months and was twice an unused substitute before being rewarded with his Arsenal debut in the 1-1 draw with Leyton Orient in the FA Cup on February 20.
Being in and around some of the Club's biggest names has helped Miquel develop his own game and left him with an even greater appetite to climb to the very top at Emirates Stadium.
"You are training with top players who are fighting for the Premier League. I want to be there and [training hard] is the only way to get there," Miquel told Arsenal.com.
"There is a much different pace [from the Academy]. Technically and tactically it's absolutely different. It's a different level, a level that you want to reach.
"I think I've done well but there are still things [I need] to improve. I have to get stronger, a bit quicker and more aggressive. I want that and I'm going to keep training to improve myself.
"It's the best thing to do to get to that level. I think I am quite far from them but I want to fight for it."
Miquel could yet play an important role in Arsenal's Premier League run-in with injuries to Johan Djourou and Thomas Vermaelen pushing him up the pecking order.
He is expected to start on the bench for Saturday's crucial Premier League trip to West Brom, but understands if he is only used as cover from now until May.
"I still need experience," he added. "You always want to play for the first team but I know it will be difficult. But obviously I want it, who doesn't want to play for the first team?"Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.
