Artist opens show at Pop Art
Pop Art Gallery and Custom Framing, 254 Main St. in Placerville, is hosting a new art show this month with featured artist Marjorie Dodrill. Her work is showing through June 30.
The Placerville artist's works include watercolor horse, acrylic beach scenes, Yosemite and local historical spots in Coloma. The natural light in the gallery provides the perfect venue to enjoy the art.
"My eye is always seeking transparency, cast shadow and the play of sunlight on a beautiful flower. I love working with oils for the rich colors and acrylics for the flexibility," Dodrill said.
Self taught for 25 years, copying the masters and immersing herself in art books, Dodrill painted on her own during vacation breaks from a teaching career.
For more information about the exhibit call Pop Art Gallery and Framing at (530) 622-1235.

A freak landing during a 7-on-7 football game two years ago created a chain of events which has led to the development of Grapevine's starting nose guard.
It was the spring after Robbie Haider's sophomore season when the then-linebacker was closing in on a running back who had just grabbed a pass in one of the Mustangs' 7-on-7 games.
Haider jumped up and landed awkwardly on his left leg, with his knee locked straight.
In that moment, the knee buckled in and created a complete tear in Haider's ACL, MCL and PCL. It also strained the lateral collateral ligament and other meniscus in the knee.
So long, junior season.
After considerable hesitation in deciding on the major reconstruction surgery, the Haider family decided on moving ahead and scheduled the surgery for April 18, just a day after Haider's birthday.
The secret in getting Haider back on the field was in preparation before the surgery and the determination and discernment about a comeback.
"I did all the pre-therapy and got all my motion back before the surgery," Haider said. "I played it smart, I feel," Haider said by doing all the advance work. He also felt he played it smart by not rushing back onto the field for his junior year.
"If I pushed it, I could have come back for the next season," he said. "But I really didn't want to do that to myself and be out for my senior year," Haider said of making the difficult decision to spend last year fully rehabbing the knee and working out to be in the best shape possible.
Haider admitted that year was tough, watching his teammates head out to practice and watching film.
"I felt bad watching them play without me," Haider said. "What type of contribution can I make? The most I could do was to get into the weight room and get back."
The senior's efforts paid off, though.
Before the surgery, the Grapevine linebacker weighed 202. Now, as the Mustangs prepare for rival Colleyville Heritage in Friday's game, Haider will anchor the defensive front at 6-1, 230.
"I was devoted to my workouts," Haider said. "I didn't want to waste my opportunity. My senior year is so important to me. If I didn't get back to 100 percent, I'd regret it," he said.
Haider said he downloaded a smartphone app to assist in his workouts and admitted he watched a lot of YouTube videos to figure out his workouts.
Now, once the knee brace is on, Haider said he feels back to normal, with no residual problem with the knee. His biggest concern, though, is his mental preparation for playing a new position.
"I really like it," he said of playing nose guard. "I never thought of myself as a defensive lineman, but I'm happy to do it."
Haider credits his position coach, Wayne Jaggars, and defensive coordinator, Charles Wheeler, for teaching him the technique and finer points of the position. "When Coach Jaggars teaches, everything that comes out of his mouth (shows) he knows what he's talking about."
This week, leading up to the Heritage game, Haider is expecting an all-out effort on both sides.
"As a senior, it's going to be a crazy game," he said. "It's the biggest game of the year and everybody gets into it. It's going to be amazing. In my freshman year, I didn't know the rivalry but knew it was a big thing."

It's obvious that men and women respond differently to stress. The roots may lie in our genes and in our past.
Historically as humans developed, the male was the hunter, often under dangerous conditions. When faced with adversity, such as a lion or a tiger, the male would experience the "fight or flight" response. The pulse quickens. The pupils dilate. The blood pressure increases and blood is forced into the muscles for strength.
On the other hand, the female was the protector who stayed with and cared for the children. Typically, the female would have a "tend and befriend" response — a less aggressive response to stress.
We now understand that a single gene, a piece of chromosome, may account for these differences. The SRY protein located on the Y chromosome, which determines maleness, seems to be a factor in regulating the release of chemicals and hormones directly related to the response to stress. So, the way we behave under stress may reflect some genetic differences.
An experience I had this morning drove the point home to me. I was caught in traffic and noticed that the two adolescent males in cars next to me were not happy campers. They looked frustrated and they were not demonstrating mature coping skills. On the other hand, the women drivers around me didn't exhibit that sort of behavior. They seemed calm and even accepting, as if acknowledging that this is just the way it is.
Perhaps this explains why women outlive men by an average of 8 to 10 years. What do you think? Are these differences real? What can we learn from them?

Separate financial entities?: Beyond categories of money management
The work of Pahl [Pahl, J., 1989. Money and Marriage. Macmillan, London; Pahl, J., 1995. His money, her money: recent research on financial organisation in marriage. Journal of Economic Psychology, 16, 361-376] has been highly influential and her typology of money management (in various forms) has been widely used. However, in the light of increasing diversity in intimate relationships and associated forms of money management, a number of researchers have been calling for a more nuanced approach. In this paper, we explore the financial perceptions and practices that lie behind the relatively under-researched but increasingly popular systems of independent management (IM) and partial pooling (PP). Using data drawn from two recent qualitative studies of money management in heterosexual couples (18 cohabiting and 42 getting married) we focus on a subset of those who were using either IM or PP. The findings indicate that classifying couples on the basis of objective financial arrangements does not provide an accurate indication of each partner's standard of living or access to money. Rather than operating more or less as separate financial entities (as implied by the category labels) the picture is much more complex. Couples using IM or PP seem to handle and perceive money in a wide variety of ways, with different implications for individual well-being, depending on whether they had distinct, blurred, or shared perceptions of ownership. The latter are linked to the way partners view their relationship, in terms of permanence, commitment, and ideology, and also provide clues to how stable a particular system of management may be over time. The implications and directions for future research are discussed.

Sullivan banjos that feature the Factory floor rim have 3 distinct tone rings. Festival pro has "new R&D Flathead". Festival Deluxe Custom has "Sullivan Prototype" . Mike Scott Signature Banjo has Sullivan Custom Flathead.Does anyone have any experience with these tone rings? I like the fact that Sullivan banjos have the Nitro laquer finish. I heard from Eric Sullivan that there is a new model coming that will be The most authentic pre war copy ever made..The price will be like a Martin D-18 A. I'm savin up!

I've got the Sullivan tone ring that has the "Sullivan" engraved on the side, I think it is the prototype. I've got great sound and have been very pleased with it. I put it on a Sullivan Bluegrass Jam and it definitely boosted the volume I was already getting. The improved sustain is what really got me though. If Eric has anything to do with it I'm sure it'll be good.

The engraved ring is their Cryo ring essentially the Gibson Crowe ring.Sullivan rings are excellent rings that because of their price might be considered 2nd tier. One of the best buys out there IMHO.____Keep the hay in Bluegrass__________________________

I like my engraved ring (I guess it's a cryo ring - thanks RetroP). I am not sure how the rings compare, but I like the sound and solid construction of my Greenbrier. I would like to hear from someone who has compared them too.

Why is it called factory floor ? It seems pretty daft to me as if the floor is being taken up to make banjos. I wonder who thought of it. I suppose they could have called it factory joists which would eventually make the roof collapse. No one has questioned this. A better name would have been more inspiring like Sullivan's Special Rims, simple and to the point.Bill.Owww.bluegrassminstrels.co.uk
silvioferretti - Posted - 06/25/2009: 23:31:02
The answer is very simple, Bill: that maple was taken from the floor of an old factory. It was a couple hundred years old, came from virgin forest, and that factory (and floor) had had heavy machines running constantly and vibrating that wood for about 150 years.The name that the Sullivans gave to the old factory floor rim and bridges, though, is "Historical Growth": factory floor or old factory floor were given to that maple (and rim) by customers, I believe. And IMO all rims from the Sullivans ARE special.."If you''re gonna have a vice, try to find one that will keep you outta jail and maybe alive a little longer" - Alvin Youngblood Hart.Silvio Ferretti http://www.scorpionmusic.com http://www.redwinemusic.net

Bill, Silvio, I don't know how "Internet savy" you guys are, but, there is a YOUTUBE video in which the late Bill Sullivan completely documents the Factory Floor rims, starting with where the wood comes from, the making of "billets", slicing into veneer strips, sending to Jimmy Cox who makes the plys into rims, and the Sullivan lathes turning the unfinished rims into finished products. Of course, Bill narrates it, and, I still get a little wet eyed as I watch it, and realize that this great man and great craftsman, is no longer with us.I always figure that Bill is looking down at us saying, "yep, that's how I make them"...go to You tube and type in Bill Sullivan in the Search box and you'll find it.Gary PhelpsSt. Louis, MO. 631292007 Stelling Sunflower Serial # 6393Gibson Masterclone RB-250 with Sullivan Rim and Sullivan archtop.

Here's the link to the Bill Sullivan You Tube:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GOfikgl8XsUThe video mentions the rims are made of "hostoric old growth" wood, but doesn't specifically mention factory floor wood. It's also bittersweet to hear and see Bill in this video.

Gary,Eric showed me that video at IBMA, before it got on YouTube, it's very interesting. And he was so kind as to send me some strips of that maple to build bridges out of it. First Quality Music is exactly what the company's name suggests, this is just one of the reasons why I've always been a big fan of them, THE main reason being that they've always been extremely accurate in studying historical instruments and parts and in finding builders and suppliers for them. They've also been extremely attentive to feedback, both from pickers and from builders and setup people.

As I understood it from Eric, the Thunderbolt was a different formula from the Crowe/Sullivan Cryo ring formula. I have used several of the prototypes of the Thunderbolt ring in various stages of experimentation. When I tried to get another one from a certain batch, even Eric, had no idea what I had. That project started with he and Bill attempting to duplicate the sound of their own pre war flathead. I have not owned one with the name "Thunderbolt" stamped. All have been unmarked in any way and all have been good to my ear. I don't know if you remember it, Alan, but you played one of mine in a TB conversion with an RB 1 walnut neck at the Waffle House a couple of years ago. I haven't talked with Eric in over a year, but at that time, he was still experimenting and changing from batch to batch. I spent some fun time there with him in his "tone ring room" in the fall of 2007 and was amazed at all the research and experimenting he had done.

I'm with Silvio about the factory floor wood. I think that the fact that it's been vibrating all those years is a key factor. Whoever realized that this would be great for musical instruments had their head on straight. All those multi-million dollar violins owned by the Metropolitan Museum and others are either lent to concert musicians or gotten out and played regularly to keep the wood vibrating.

Google Shows Off Android Run Prototype
This week during the GSMA's Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Google showed off its software platform Android for cell phones in solid form. Acquired in 2005 and launched last year, the company rounded up a team to show how it may look. They also announced the formation of the Open Handset Alliance, 34 handset manufacturers, carriers and chipmakers that will support Android. Based on open-source coding, Google is counting on the prototype to give the competition, including Microsoft, Nokia, and RIM a run for their money. Hooray for free enterprise.

It was a hot dry land they traveled through,
The pioneers of the Western land.
They had to deal with indians and storms,
And passing through rivers with quicksand!
Many left Saint Louis with dreams and hopes,
Dreaming of a better way of life.
Many lost everything along that trail,
Cause the trail was pure struggle and strife!
Through all the terrors of the wilderness,
They pressed on with bravery and hope.
The ones who made it through and settled down,
Passed out first hand justice with a rope!
Along with pioneers came the outlaws,
The bane of all honest citizens.
The cattle or horse thief was hung real high,
A quick justice for those denizens!
Law was needed in that wild woolly land,
Invaded by outlaws and half-casts.
The army fought and moved the indians,
Onto the reservations at last!
The owlhoots riding down the outlaw's trail,
Were becoming a thing of the past.
The people grew tired of their Banditry,
And got "Law and Order" started at last!
From the pioneers to the present day,
Have always showed determination.
The West was settled by Brave-hearted souls,
And that passed to this generation!!

Diabetes and its complications affect some 20 million Americans with an annual cost to society in excess of $100 billion. In the USA, obesity has reached epidemic proportions which further increases the incidence of diabetes. Diabetes is a serious ailment linked to abnormalities in metabolism and nutritional regimen. It is essential to increase the number of scientists doing basic research relevant to diabetes, and obesity. Our goal is to promote the training of scientists whose research will develop new understandings of the basis of the disease and its complications, and to cultivate basic science research that can speed the discovery of more effective therapies.

M9 medium is a minimal growth medium used for bacterial cultures. It has the advantage of being cheap and has a very low autofluorescence (when excited at 488nm) and also very low absorbance. M9 medium can be supplemented to produce higher growth rates or to allow growth of strains that require additives (e.g. thiamin).

Early this morning the American Space Shuttle program ended. When the Atlantis shuttle landed at Florida's Kennedy Space Center, it brought to a close 30 years of American innovation and leadership in space exploration. When I look back on the Space program, one particular initiative comes to mind -- the Apollo program. Apollo is known for its many success and failures, particularly Apollo 1 and Apollo 13 but it was Apollo 8 that instilled faith that the United States might actually reach the moon.
I am a certified history nerd. I take all history classes, read history blogs, go on long Wikipedia adventures, and even regale people I have barely met with random historical facts. I have not always been this way, however; in fact, there was a time that for me the word "history" was synonymous with the most painful extremes of boredom.
What's changed?
We stumbled upon the blog of one of our Facebook friends, Mac Engel, who yesterday posted an article called "Top 5 Manliest Ways to Go Out..." The blog post was inspired by the recent news of a man being mauled by a grizzly bear in Yellowstone National Park. The staff here was amused to find that three of the five "manliest ways to die" were the subjects of AMERICAN EXPERIENCE documentaries.
Heavy snow and rain this past winter and spring have led to massive flooding of the Mississippi River Valley in 2011, devastating populated areas along the river's path and causing millions of dollars in damage. Missouri, Iowa, Nebraska, and Tennessee are just a few states that have been affected by the flooding, displacing thousands of people across the South and Midwest. Over the past several weeks, the Army Corps of Engineers has destroyed levees along the Mississippi River to direct excess water away from more densely populated areas and into flood lands.

Clean Out Your Closet
If you're like most people, you've got at least 300 t-shirts in your closet, 20 strewn around the air mattress on the floor you call your bed, and at least a dozen shirts at various other people's homes which you will never get back because awkward.
Today is the day you you fill three garbage bags full of old t-shirts and take them down to the Salvation Army because they're stupid. It's time to get some new ones.

Despite years of research into automated language translation programs, nothing beats human interpreters. A new service focused on government users allows law enforcement, first responders and other personnel to access an interpreter from their mobile devices.
The AT&T On Demand Interpreter service provides professional interpreters skilled in more than 170 languages that can be reached 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. To access the service, registered users push *4 on their mobile devices, which directs them to a voice recognition system that asks them to speak the name of the language they need.
The service, targeted to federal agencies, health care workers and businesses that encounter language barriers, is designed to enable users to communicate with limited or non-English speakers in their native languages. AT&T is working with Language Line Service, an interpreting and translation company.
Language Line has worked with federal agencies, but its interpreting services were traditionally done through call centers and 800 numbers, rather than with mobile devices, said Louis Provenzano, Language Line's CEO.
Language Line employs about 6,000 interpreters. Of those, 1,000 are cleared for sensitive government work, but Provenzano said the service is for nonclassified use.
AT&T conducted a soft launch of the service in January with some beta clients, but the service was officially launched June 18, Provenzano said.
The On Demand Interpreter service will deploy in two phases. The initial phase focuses on federal government and business customers and will then extend to state and local governments, health care, small businesses, and individual consumers later this year. The second phase will provide the service globally, he said.

text: Owners of raided sandwich shop arrested By Travis Crum August 14, 2013 CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- The owners of a West Side sandwich shop raided by police were arrested Wednesday on charges of violating bail after a Kanawha County magistrate granted them 15 days to vacate their business.Charleston Police Chief Brent Webster said the shop is a front for a "continuing criminal enterprise."The owners of Miss Sylvia's Sandwich Shop -- Rodney Armstrong, 43, and Emma Laughlin, 36, both of Charleston -- were in magistrate court for an eviction hearing regarding their West Washington Street shop Wednesday.Property owner Sharon Whiting requested the eviction after police said Armstrong and Laughlin operated an illegal after-hours bar that was the scene of a shooting in July. The shop does not have a liquor license. On Sunday, a Charleston Police SWAT team raided the shop and allegedly discovered a large amount of liquor, several handguns and scattered amounts of marijuana.Armstrong and Laughlin were charged with illegally selling alcohol, a misdemeanor, and released on a $7,500 bail.After Wednesday's eviction hearing, police arrested the pair inside the courthouse parking garage for allegedly violating bail conditions from their July arrest on the same charges. Two confidential informants told police that Armstrong and Laughlin charged patrons a $5 entry fee, Webster said. If the patron carried a gun, they would be charged $50."Our informant explained to us that they used red cups and people paid certain amounts for beer and certain amounts for a shot," Webster said. "When we raided it, we found a whole lot of liquor and red cups consistent with what the informant told us."Armstrong and Laughlin told police that they did not sell alcohol illegally and patrons brought their own to the shop. Webster said there's overwhelming evidence to the contrary."They are kind of thumbing their nose up at us," he said. "Like they wouldn't let us in the other day, that's why we had to break their window to get in. We didn't want to do that."Police said about 50 people were inside the shop when they raided it early Sunday. Police recovered at least one gun that was reported stolen, Webster said. Armstrong and Laughlin are being held in South Central Regional Jail.They had requested a month to clean out their business, but Sisson said 15 days was enough to move their furniture and equipment. Armstrong asked about money he invested in renovations at the shop and Sisson told him to raise the matter in civil court.Reach Travis Crum at email@example.com or 304-348-5163.

before it's in the papers" RETURN TO THE WORLD SCIENCE HOME PAGE Life forms survive space exposure June 25, 2012 New research on the International Space Station is helping to boost theories that life came from outer space—and might help create better suncreams.

New research on the International Space Station is helping to boost theories that life came from outer space—and might help create better suncreams. In 2008 scientists sent a suitcase-sized package the Space Station filled with organic compounds and living organisms to test their reaction to outer space. Some of the life forms survived the trip just fine. When astronauts go on a spacewalk, hours are spent preparing protective suits to survive the hostile conditions. But no effort was made to protect the bacteria, seeds, lichen and algae attached to the outside of the Space Station. "We are exploring the limits of life," said René Demets of the European Space Agency, which oversaw the project, dubbed the Expose-E experiment. Our atmosphere protects life on Earth by absorbing harmful ultraviolet rays and stabilizing temperatures. In contrast, the space samples endured the full power of the Sun's rays. Though insulated somewhat by the Space Station, they experienced temperatures changing from minus 12 to plus 40 degrees Celsius (10 to 104 degrees Fahrenheit), over 200 times as they orbited Earth. The samples returned to Earth in 2009 and the results are now published in a special issue of the journal Astrobiology. Lichen have proven to be tough cookies: back on Earth, some of the species brought to space continue to grow normally. During hardship, they "go into a dormant state waiting for better conditions to arrive," René explained. The lichen have attracted interest from cosmetic companies. They can survive the full power of the Sun for 18 months, so knowing more might lead to new ingredients for suncream. Living organisms surviving in open space supports the idea of "panspermia" – life spreading from one planet to another, or even between solar systems. It seems possible that organisms could colonise planets by hitching rides on asteroids. The agency is probing this theory further on future Station missions with different samples. |

In a hidden radio studio along the dark edges of Humboldt Bay, DJ Monsieur De La Billy Goat Von Kawinkie Dink' described the secrecy of his forbidden underground movement — pirate radio.
"It's kind of like Fight Club, first rule of pirate radio is you talk about it only in bathroom stalls with other pirates," he said.
Local pirate DJ Billygoat — who would prefer to use his pirate radio name since the station is illegal — is part of a rising underground culture known as pirate radio — or illegal, low power and uncensored radio.
Unlike standard, commercialized radio, pirate radio is not licensed to be on the radio and does not run advertisements. Since pirate radio does not have to run advertisements, it does not have to cater to what sponsors may or may not want heard.
After disc jockeying for Arcata's pirate radio station, Humboldt Free Radio Alliance 99.9 FM, Billygoat moved to Eureka where he had a vision of starting something similar to what he saw in Arcata: a free radio station.
With the help of other pirates, Billygoat started Humboldt Bay Pirate Radio 88.9 FM, Eureka's pirate radio station, successfully running for two years. The Arcata station Humboldt Free Radio Alliance is on its 13th year.
"[Pirate radio] allows me to be creative instead of sticking to … the preconceived idea of what it [radio] should sound like and who it should reach," Billygoat said.
Pirate radio is a local and progressive effort inspired by not only "anti-authoritarian struggle," as Billygoat deems it, but also an attempt to benefit the surrounding community.
"We can step outside the conventional means," Billygoat said of pirate radio's freedom. "In that respect the community benefits from an alternative media source. [We] make available music that would otherwise be censored."
Pirate radio is also a place for local artists.
Local music producer Cole Olson, 21, aka AliEn LOuNge, said pirate radio gives artists — who otherwise would be restricted on commercialized radio — the chance to be heard.
"Without pirate stations [local artists] wouldn't be given the airplay that [is] important for our music," Olson said.
Zachary Roecker, music manager of KRFH radio at Humboldt State, described pirate radio as a station with the ability to play whatever it wants, whenever it wants.
"If we [commerical radio] start expressing opinion … come out saying you're pro-life [or] pro-choice, [companies] may not want run ads [for us]. Whereas pirate radio [is] able to say what they want," Roecker said. "[It is a] good thing for freedom of speech."
Pirate radio's number one enemy in enforcing free speech is the Federal Communications Commissions, whose job it is to regulate radio. The FCC comes to Humboldt County twice a year.
DJ Billygoat of Humboldt Bay Pirate Radio said, "Like Fight Club, we have 'agents' that are out there in the professional field that give [us a] heads up when they [FCC] come into town."
Humboldt Bay Pirate Radio shuts down for the week the FCC is here to avoid regulation checkups.
With high-power radio equipment and paying royalties on the music played, commercial radio adds up to be very pricey.
"How much money [there is in radio] is ridiculous," Billygoat said. "Local artists … have to sell 10,000 units in order to get on the radio."
Cliff Berkowitz, journalism lecturer and KRFH AM Radio advisor, argues that with the FCC, radio stations can have low-power radio through low-power licenses. These licenses granted by the FCC give stations the ability to use radio wave transmitters that are 100 watts or less for non-commercial purposes.
Berkowitz — who founded KHUM, a commercialized radio station in Humboldt, in 1996 — argues that commercialized radio benefits the community as well.
"We are extremely involved in the community [and] give local businesses a chance to advertise," Berkowitz said. "[It is] a win-win for everybody."
Roecker likes commercialized radio.
"Pirate radio is just there cause they want to do what they want, that I don't like. [It is] not good for radio as a whole because it demeans the whole genre," Roecker said. "When you have a real point to make, if you're good enough for people to listen to what you want, then be a real radio station. Gives your point validity."
Humboldt Bay Pirate Radio 88.9 FM, "broadcasted from international waters just off the north coast," can be heard along the coastal parts of Humboldt, Eureka,Titlow Hill and some parts of Trinidad and Orick.
The station plays mostly electronic, hip-hop, vinyl records, and local artists such as punk rock band AM Beers, Creepy Marbles, and electronic artists like AliEn LOuNge, @uDioGa$m, and Schedule 1. Humboldt Bay Pirate Radio broadcasts Sunday nights from 8 p.m. to late at night on 88.9 FM.
The Arcata pirate radio station, Humboldt Free Radio Alliance 99.9 FM can be heard in Mckinleyville and most parts of Arcata.
DJ Rex Everything of Humboldt Free Radio Alliance, said the station plays various genres from hip-hop to metal.
Humboldt Free Radio Alliance airs Sundays from 1 p.m. to midnight and from 5 p.m. to midnight Monday through Saturday.
Every Friday at 2 p.m. the station puts on radio plays, such as "Sherlock Holmes." They will begin online streaming in the next two or three months.
Pirate radio is known as a worldwide movement against censorship. what DJ Billygoat of Humboldt Bay Pirate Radio calls this "an act of reclamation."
"It proves very specifically that everyone can create something as wonderful as this: laidback, no bosses, no managers, no dumbass you're going to run into at the water cooler."

Jimmy Fallon paid respectful tribute to Jay Leno in an interview on "The Today Show."
"It's kind of a little nerve-wracking, but exciting to step into his shoes," Fallon, 38, said of Leno, 63, who Fallon will replace next February as host of "The Tonight Show." "He kept the franchise going for a long time and I hope to make him proud," Fallon said.
[xfinity-record-button id="7967342778484123112″ program_type="series"]
The interview was apparently the same one that was conducted last week by Savannah Guthrie in Fallon's "Late Night" studio. With Fallon off this week, "The Today Show" has been rolling out pieces of this interview over the last few days. On Tuesday, Fallon talked about his and his wife's five-year struggle to have a baby, which resulted in the birth of a daughter last month.
In the interview portion about "The Tonight Show" and Leno, Fallon actually went overboard with his praise of Jay when he over-stated the number of years that Leno has kept "The Tonight Show" in the No. 1 spot in the late-night ratings.
"Jay Leno has just been awesome to me," Fallon said. "I've talked to him all the time since I started. 'Don't think I'm trying to take over [Jimmy said he told Jay] and whenever you're ready to go …' Then he just called me one day and he's like, 'I think that time's coming and I think you'd be great' and, uh, which is very nice," Fallon said. "Made me feel really good."
"It must have meant a lot to you because I'm sure you care a lot about him as a colleague and a friend," Guthrie said.
And here's the part where Fallon revealed he lacks a command of late-night television history. "He's amazing," he said of Jay. "You gotta respect the guy. He's been No. 1 for like how many years? Almost 30 years? It's unbelievable."
It's also not true. Leno took over the show in May 1992 — 21 years ago. He moved into the top spot in the Nielsen ratings in 1995, and kept the show there throughout his tenure as host (minus the time that Conan O'Brien hosted the show).

Langenhahn's driving skills and knowledge of transportation and truck safety information topped those of 426 other professional drivers from all across the United States in the "Super Bowl of Safety," sponsored by American Trucking Associations.
Langenhahn has logged 28 years as a driver, with over 1.9 million miles behind the wheel. He began competing in his state truck driving championships in 1997, and this was his fourth trip to the National Truck Driving Championships.
David Guinn, a professional driver for Publix Super Markets from Mulberry, Fla. was named 2014 Rookie of the Year after competing in the five-axle division while the North Carolina truck driving championship team won honors as the highest scoring state.
The contestants were the state champions in nine truck types from all 50 states. Collectively, they have driven more than 653 million accident-free miles.
In their respective classes, drivers tested their expertise in the driving skills they use daily. The competition course inside the David L. Lawrence Convention Center challenged their knowledge of safety, equipment and the industry. The skills course tested drivers' ability to judge distances, maneuver tight spaces, reverse, park, and position their vehicle exactly over scales, before barriers or around curves.
Langenhahn also won the individual twin trailer truck driving competition. Joining him as champions in their respective classes are:

Giocondo, Fra Giovanni (frä jōvänˈnē jōkônˈdō) [key], c.1435–1515, Italian architect, engineer, and antiquary. A Franciscan friar, he was accomplished in philosophy, archaeology, and classical literature but is best known for his architectural and engineering works. He designed a drainage system for the lagoons of Venice, built the fortifications of Treviso, and is universally credited with the design of the Palazzo del Consiglio (1476) at Verona, an elegant, arcaded monument of the early Renaissance. He accompanied Charles VIII to France in 1495 as court architect.

academy sb\\shumacher mi2 carbon\\ losixxx4g+\\ losi lst!!!!
nice looking guys. I'll post mine today as long as the camera is working. See about adding your pics to www.4wdrc.com .
I wanted to drop you a line and let you know about the new motors that Team1rc.com sent me!! I drive for Team Academys 1/10 Touring Class. Whether your off road or on road like myself, try one of these babies in your ride!!!
When I first open the box to my amazement, they come with motor boxes for storage. I took the lable off the original package and placed on the motor box / container for ID of each motor. I then began to inspect the motors, WOW! they have some mags in them thats forsure, very strong. I also looked at the brush hoods as I know they ( Team1rc.com ) said they know alot about motors. What nice alignement for the brushes and the springs?? Very First class, all the way. As I was looking at the package once again, I see they inclose a document of what the motor dyno'd and how it truely performs. I ran the numbers in my head and trusted these guys 100% as all the number on the sheet were not so over rated as I have seen from some companies out there. However,, they are I would say team quality motors and with my driving?? These motors will be my motor of choice from this day on. By getting these from them as one of my new sponsors per say,,,,It eliminates me from messing with brushes, dyno, and what?? it saves me time so I cna drive my car more!!
I installed the one of the two lastnight. The only thing I can say is visit these guys. I am so gald I did and the quality and service once again so similar to Academy, you wont be sorry!!!

Well jaejw1,
Everyone has to start somewhere ya know?? atleast your where the action is and going to be soon. That is all I can say for now. Some new things are going on and have taken place. Its going to be sweet!
Hang around in here with everyone whether you on road or off road. It doenst matter which one!! Its what company and product you believe in and puts you up in the winners circle......
Keep practicing jaejw1 and be consistant, thats where it truely is.
Team Academy / MRC / Team1rc.com / Tekin
Here that simple mod to adjust the front oneway. I do know, that most people do lock up front oneways as this is the way they are used, BUT?? I will say, there will come a time or two you'll need to loosen it slightly, and I do use the term specifically as it doesnt take much to loosen a oneway.
The pic below with the white circle on the dif? That is the mod. I inserted a plastic insert with a small lip on the outside top of the insert. I did this to make it look like a factory install or mod. This white plastic flange insert is used for small cable and can be found at hardware stores. If you look close enough you will acatully see the set / grub screws. I have honestly used this modification now about 4-5 times. It is currently set for my local track at about 90% tight. I am guessing however, adjusting a dif is just one of those things you'll soon get the feel of to adjust it properly.[X(]
The second and last pic is to show the length I have added to the upper rods get a better tire wear. I had issues with the wear before. If anyone needs I can drop them the spec measurements on my upper rods. I had to loose my purple hpi however due to lack of lenght. I am insearch this weekend also to up grade all screws and rods to titanium. I found such screws and rods at a location that is non rc related!!
Im now running the 27 and 32 rubber tires,,,,GOOD BYE FOAMS!!! I'll miss ya[&o] Currently 32 all around.
Team Academy / MRC / Team1rc.com
heres some of the Academy cars i play with.
srry about the size. here is my academy sb pro. it finally got to race it the other weekend. nobody drives 4wd here so i never get to race it. but i finally got to race it in the brushless open at the rcmonster bash. unfortunatly it didn't last too long against the huge all aluminum mt's . it was still fun though.
R/C keeps me off of drugs because after the rc there is no money left for drugs.
I like the "Wilson" on your nomadio tx. nice touch.
Of course I\'\'ll have coffee... I always have coffee when I\'\'m watching radar. Everyone knows that!

agreed. very nicely done.
here are some pics of my newest ride... str-4 pro v1. I never really planned on getting one, since I don't usually race onroad, but I got a great deal on this as a roller, and couldn't resist putting in a new mamba max / Nemisis blue combo. Its very fast and handles extremely well. I may have to convert over to onroad because of this thing. Its really a blast to drive.
Of course I\'\'ll have coffee... I always have coffee when I\'\'m watching radar. Everyone knows that!
Finally, here are the pics of one of the two V1 buggys:
special thanks to darthballs for the wiring ideas. I wasn't really sure how to keep it neat. If you're curious, I did the paint in the garage at home. I used a spray on mask an a very sharp exacto knife. More photos coming soon....
Here are a couple pics of my SB. When I purchased the car it was in pieces.

From First City Events… Kim put her complete faith in us by allowing us to plan her pretty in pink wedding from afar, using pictures, emails, phone calls and story boards to describe her perfect day. It wasn't until the week of the wedding that Kim saw her ceremony and reception sites for the first time. Thank goodness it was love at first sight! Kim went with a beautiful mix of pinks for her flowers and decor. Custom stationery was put on everything from water bottles at the park to place cards. Custom signs let guests know what was on the bar menu and the sweet cake flavors. The bridal cake featured alternating layers of red velvet with cream cheese icing and white chocolate cake with butter cream icing; while the groom's cake was all chocolate. After a lovely day and an fun night, the two left for their happily ever after in a classic car.

San Francisco may be known for its sourdough, but let the tourists have the artfully contrived bread made into the shapes of animals. The Bay Area is home to some of the finest bakers and pastry chefs out there. So, instead of buying a well-preserved loaf from the store, get some fresh bread — either flavored or just plain and hot out of the oven — to go with your next meal.
Here are some of the best breads in the Bay Area. As always, this list is incomplete. Add your own favorites in the comments.
Tartine Bakery and Cafe
600 Guerrero St., San Francisco
(415) 487-2600
Mon, 8 a.m. – 7 p.m.; Tues, Wed, 7:30 a.m. – 7 p.m.; Thurs, Fri, 7:30 a.m. – 8 p.m.; Sat, 8 a.m. – 8 p.m.; Sun, 9 a.m. – 8 p.m.
Why? Chad Robertson may be the most famous baker in the city and Tartine is his masterpiece. There's a reason the bakery is a San Francisco classic. Fresh bread is available daily after 4:30 p.m. You can order ahead — and you probably want to — with three days advance notice.
The Acme Bread Company
1601 San Pablo Ave., Berkeley
(510) 524-1327
Mon-Sat, 8 a.m. – 6 p.m.; Sun, 8:30 a.m. – 3 p.m.
Ferry Building, San Francisco
(415) 288-2978
Mon-Fri, 6:20 a.m. – 7:30 p.m.; Sat, Sun, 8 a.m. – 7 p.m.
Why? Yes, Acme bread is readily available in stores around the Bay Area. But, the specialty and fresh loaves are what make it one of the premier bread destinations. Try the sourdough or the walnut levain.
Firebrand Artisan
(510) 594-9213
Available at: Bi-Rite, Rainbow Grocery, Whole Foods in Oakland, or online through GoodEggs.com
Why? Firebrand breads are made in small batches and with limited distributions through Bay Area restaurants and certain retailers. But, if you can find a loaf, you'll swear that all the time that goes into the hand-made, wood-fire-cooked loaves is worth it. Try the German rye, the whole wheat, or the sourdough. Or, catch them at the Kensington Farmers Market on Sunday for specialty items.
Destination Baking Company
598 Chenery St., San Francisco
(415) 469-0730
Mon-Fri, 6:30 a.m. – 6:30 p.m.; Sat, Sun, 7 a.m. – 4 p.m.
Why? A small local bakery, Destination fills its storefront with pastries and baguettes that are snatched up by the local neighborhood. On Fridays, though, Joe Schuver pulls fresh challah out of the oven in the late morning. There aren't many loaves, so don't miss out.
Artisan Bakers
750 West Napa St., Sonoma
(707) 939-1765
Mon-Sat, 6:30 a.m. – 3 p.m.; Sun, 7 a.m. – 2 p.m.
Why? This isn't the place for fancy or flavored pastries masquerading as breads. This is simply excellent bread. Along with the retail bakery, Artisan Bakers' bread is also available at about 200 groceries and restaurants. Get the full list on Artisan's website.
M.H. Bread and Butter
101 San Anselmo Ave., San Anselmo
(415) 755-4575
Mon, Wed-Sat, 7 a.m. – 4 p.m.; Sun, 8 a.m. – 4 p.m.
Why? So powerful is the lure of Tartine that when one of Robertson's disciples breaks out on his own that bread too becomes a local favorite. M.H.B.B. also serves breakfast, lunch, and brunch, but people come for the bread. (Also available at some restaurants and stores.) Not sure which to get? Try the bread sampler plate.
Della Fattoria
141 Petaluma Blvd. North, Petaluma
(707) 763-0161
Everyday, 7 a.m. – 3 p.m.
Why? Della Fattoria uses all organic flours, local sea salts and olive oils, a natural starter, and a brick oven that burns for 12 hours before the loaves cook. It makes for a rich, smoky flavor. If you don't want to head up to Petaluma, then check out the weekend Ferry Building Farmers Market. Try the Meyer Lemon/Rosemary bread.
Feel Good Bakery
1650 Park St., Alameda
(510) 864-2733
Mon-Fri, 7 a.m. – 8 p.m.; Sat, 8 a.m. – 8 p.m.; Sun, 8 a.m. – 7 p.m.
Why? Feel Good Bakery uses old-world methods, including a long fermentation period. Its signature breads contain a yeast combination of fermented rye, wheat, and wholewheat flour. But, you don't care about that. You just care that it tastes really good. Try their Wholly Moley, crankin (cranberry and pumpkin seeds), and currant walnut.
Metropolis Baking Company
707A Heinz Ave., Berkeley
(510) 848-7263
Available at: Retail locations listed on their website
Why? This small bakery specializes in traditional Italian breads. Although the whole operation is wholesale, it's worth tracking down a loaf. Taste the Pane de Altamura, if you can.
Anna's Daughters' Rye
(415) 332-3386
Available at: Farmers' Markets, or order online
Why? Anna's Daughters' Rye really just does one thing: rye. But they do it well. Marianne Wiener makes traditional dense Danish-style Rye loaves. She actually uses the same starter today that she created twenty years ago. The small batches are made once a week and sold at local stores, like Berkeley Bowl and Rainbow Market, and farmers' markets, like the weekend one at the Ferry Building. Or, you can order a loaf on their website and have it delivered.
Thorough Bread and Pastry
248 Church St., San Francisco
(415) 558-0690
Tue-Sat, 7 a.m. – 7 p.m.; Sun, 8 a.m. – 6 p.m.
Why? Started by the founders of the San Francisco Baking Institute, the bakery offers a chance for select graduates to sharpen their artisan baking skills. Along with morning pastries, Thorough has fresh bread after 9 a.m. Extra bonus: it's relatively cheap.
La Farine
6323 College Ave., Oakland
(510) 654-0338
3411 Fruitvale Ave., Oakland
(510) 531-7750
1820 Solano Ave., Berkeley
(510) 528-2208
4094 Piedmont Ave., Oakland
(510) 420-1777
Everyday, 7:30 a.m. – 7 p.m.
Why? With four locations in the East Bay, La Farine is nearly a chain. It became that by being one of the most popular bakeries and patisseries around. Along with tarts, pastries, and cakes, La Farine best known for its delicious baguettes and brioche.
Phoenix Pastificio
1250 Addison St, Suite 109, Berkeley
(510) 883-0783
Mon-Sat, 4 a.m. – 8 p.m.
Available at: local stores and farmers markets
Why? It may be called Phoenix Pasta, but Phoenix is more than a pasta place. Try their famous olive bread from the Saturday Berkeley Farmers Market. Watch out, though, there may still be an olive pit in there.
372 Colusa Ave., Kensington
(510) 596-9935
3084 Claremont Ave., Berkeley
(510) 596-9942
Everyday, 8 a.m. – 4 p.m.
Why? In a typical week, Semifreddi's makes 190,000 loaves of bread and 40,000 pastries and cookies. Of course it's available at a number of local stores. But, if you go to one of the retail shops, order a fresh ciabatta roll.
Bread Srsly
(866) 338-3948
Available at: Bi-Rite, Rainbow Grocery, Mollie Stone's and a number of other stores (all listed on their website), or order online
Why? Gluten-free bread can be hard to do well, especially classic San Francisco sourdough. Bread Srsly was the first gluten-free sourdough bakery in the city. Now, it delivers its bread around the region.
Josey Baker Bread
Available at: The Mill, 736 Divisadero, San Francisco
(415) 345-1953
Mon, 7 a.m. – 9 p.m.; Tues-Sun, 7 a.m. – 7 p.m.
Why? Josey Baker makes manly bread. But, it can (and should) be eaten by everyone. Originally a sole baker out of his home, Josey bakes out of the Mill now, a joint venture with Four Barrel Coffee, and has delicious fresh loaves every day. And, his fennel-raisin and apricot-sage toast became famous as the $4 toast. Try it.

Nice people, did a good job, would recommend.
MOT & INTRIM SERVICE. David was great at communicating via WCFMC and was very clear about price. He also arranged a time that suited me. They organised collection and drop off of my car at my work which is so brilliantly convenient and allowed them to complete the job without it effecting my day. Definitely recommend!
Everything seems fine
Took the car to a garage closer to my home but when in contact with this garage they were quick to reply and give a quote very nice manner
Happy, job took 2 days which I thought was a very good turnaround!
Fantastic service and couldn't be more helpful. Even put front disks and pads (that I had bought from Ebay) on the car for free since I was getting work done anyway. A++
Disgraceful. A thief and a cheat. I supplied parts. My car was in for 3 days having 3 hours work. When I finally got it back none of the parts had been fitted, he happily took my £150 and my parts. To date I have got the parts back, but he has still stolen my £150. Can't trust this garage.
would not take my grandson car here as when I got there garage was closed and no one called me to say why
I have received a punch on my face and they were two and me alone. I lose my 230 GBP and also lost my car and also they cheat police which conducted to my arrestment. horrible . terrible
Kevin from Data Garage in Glasgow was extremely helpful with my daughter's car who is at university in Glasgow. He reassured me that it was safe for her to drive long distances after he had fixed it and took it out with her to check too. The total charge was £300 for a new clutch and to fix an electrical fault with the steering. He kept me in touch with the progress - I felt a little helpless being in Manchester but I used the website whocanfixmycar to find a reputable garage. I would fully recommend Kevin. My daughter is due to drive home this weekend - in what I am reassured will be a safe car now.
Happy.good price and quick service
A very pleasant surprise! Engineer diagnosed dodgy solder connections on driver's door switch unit which opens and closes the windows and allows adjustment of the external mirrors. Instead of replacing the unit, he dismantled it enough to re-solder the connections, then tested it and re-installed it. The car was ready for collection just a couple of hours after I left it there. Excellent service - I was delighted!
They did really well with the car, would use again
Job turned out to be a lot more expensive than I expected but then again my car is more than 20 years old! The garage have done a good all round job.
Good service, guys were very helpful.
Great device great price thanks Jordan
Great quote, no hassle, job done. Very pleased.
After accepting the quote online, I never received any further communication from Maryhill MOT & Service Centre. Very disappointing in my daughters hour of need.
Excilent service from start to finish, car was looked at thankfully didn't need a new tank, but did require new part. Ordered and fitted in time and price agreed. Wouldn't hesitsate in using or recommending Maryhill MOT & Service Centre.
Agreed online to fix car, garage made no attempt to contact me even after I phoned number several time. Don't advertise for work if don't want it
Great service and staff are always friendly will definitely be using the garage if i have any other issues with the car and they don't rob you the prices are absolutely brilliant
Spot-on service. Dropped the car off on a Saturday morning, told what time the car would be ready for, guys did the work, I picked the car up again and paid the bill. That simple - the way it should be when dealing with garages. Brake pads and discs changed.
Excellent service, excellent price. Highly recommended.
used bishopbriggs MOT centre. great service and great job. timely
Price: Although the final bill was twice the original estimate it was due to other parts that needed to be changed. The £300 were 1/4 of what would have been if we had chosen new original parts. Customer care: They were very accommodating when scheduling a time to take the car in for the repair. The only thing I was a little bit bother by is that communication from them while our car was with them was minimal, I would have wanted to get a call at least at the end of day one and two to know what the status was since we live in 20+ miles away and needed to take the train to get there. Quality of service: The went out of their way to find second hand spare parts which is great and makes the repair a lot cheaper but it might have caused a few difficulties when resetting the cars computer which now shows the message "electrical fault" but I can live with that if it's 1/4 the price I would have gotten elsewhere. Overall: Would recommend, cheap and good service but would benefit from working on their communications.

Microsoft Says Windows Phone 7.8 Due Early 2013
Nov 28, 2012, 3:04 PM by Eric M. Zeman @phonescooper
Microsoft today announced some new details regarding Windows Phone 7.8, which is a in-between step bridging Windows Phone 7.5 and Windows Phone 8. According to Microsoft, it is still testing the platform update with its hardware and carrier partners. The new software will be distributed on lower-cost devices in emerging markets as well as rolled out to existing WP7.5 devices. Microsoft doesn't expect it to reach existing devices until early in 2013. In addition to the new Start screen behavior and adjustable Live Tiles, which were features disclosed by Microsoft earlier this year, Windows Phone 7.8 also doubles the number of themes and accent colors, adds more flexibility to the lock screen wallpaper, and increases the the number of passwords that can be used to unlock the device. Microsoft also said that Windows Phone 7.8 will help it extend the XBox ecosystem to more countries. Microsoft expects to share more details about Windows Phone 7.8 closer to its availability.
