His commercial for Budweiser caught the eye of US producers when it aired during the 1998 Super Bowl. Coyote Ugly, set in a bar, was his feature film directorial debut. Director David McNally should not be confused with actor David McNally.

Acon Digital Equalize is a parametric equalizer plug-in that combines unique features with excellent workflow and an intuitive user interface. Unlike other equalizers, you can freely adjust not only center frequency, gain and bandwidths, but also the filter slope for each band. The filter slope can be set anywhere from 3 dB to ultra-sharp 120 dB per octave. Needless to say, you can operate Equalize as a zero latency plug-in when using the minimum phase mode or choose to preserve the phase relationships in the linear phase mode. Equalize goes one step further, though, and introduces the unique mixed phase mode that allows you to set the latency freely in the range 5 to 120 milliseconds while preserving the phase relationships as far as possible. That gives a unique control over potential pre-ringing artifacts which is a common problem with linear phase filtering. Latency values below 20 milliseconds ensure that any pre-ringing is masked by the temporal masking of the human hearing while preserving the time-alignment across the audible frequency range.
Great care has been taken to provide a user interface that is straight forward to use. Band parameters can be adjusted using handles directly in the graphical representation of the frequency response, including bandwidths and filter slopes. A flexible real-time analyzer lets you monitor every aspect of the processing. You can easily switch between full, mid, side, left or right channel processing for each band and Equalize automatically routes the audio signal internally to ensure the best results and lowest possible latency.
- Up to twelve independent bands
- Freely adjustable gain, frequency, bandwidth, resonance and filter slope
- Three different phase modes, including the novel mixed phase mode
- Choose channel mode for each band independently (mid, side, left, right or full processing)
- Up to twelve equalizer bands
- Six different filter types (low cut, low shelf, peak, notch, high shelf and high cut)
- Band frequency, gain, bandwidth, resonance and filter slope is freely adjustable for each band
- Three different filter modes, minimum phase, linear phase or the novel mixed phase
- Adjustable latency and pre-ringing time in mixed phase mode
- Zero latency in minimum phase mode
- Channel mode (mid, side, left, right or full processing) can be set independently for each band
- Multiple selection of bands
- Resizable graphical user interface
- Solo and bypass modes
- Optional automatic make-up gain
- Optional gain to bandwidth linking
- Two spectrum analyzers that can analyze the input or output signal from the mid, side, left or right channel
- Graphical visualization of the equalizer frequency response
- Preset manager and a large number of factory presets
- Save, load and categorize user presets
Acon Digital Equalize is available for both Windows (PC) and OS X (Macintosh). Both 32 and 64 bit versions are available, and the plug-in formats VST, VST3, AAX and Audio Units (OS X only) are supported.

MESA — A Mesa boy who had his special needs bike stolen received a new one on Saturday.
With his mom and dad by his side, Beorn Jr., known as Bubba, took a spin on his new set of wheels at Pioneer Park.
Last month, ABC15 reported Bubba's bike, which was tailored to fit his special needs, was stolen. The Rankin family says someone cut the lock off of their backyard gate.
"To see the bike stolen it was like, who does that?" Beorn Rankin, Bubba's dad, said.
But after hearing Bubba's story, the company AMS Vans decided to donate a custom made bike just for him.
RELATED: Arizona business springs for replacement bike for Mesa boy with special needs
"Frankly the story broke our heart," Zachary Shurtleff, with AMS Vans, said. "Whether it's selling a wheel chair accessible vehicle or helping someone with a bike like Bubba's, this is the stuff that excites us."
The family says they're grateful for the support they've received.
"Thank you AMS Vans and thank you for all the love and support," Stephanie Rankin, Bubba's mom, said.
"It's emotional," Beorn said. "It's something most kids take for granted. You don't think about not being able to ride a bike or have a bike. So for him, to be in a bike and see that excitement, just an every day thing he's getting to do, it's important."

Tuft of grass
dances merrily in the breeze
initiates a liveliness
Tuft of grass
dances merrily in the breeze
initiates a liveliness
Grass grows
on roadsides
on all waysides
needs little water
grows in abundance
green and lush .
Over and above
it looks lovely
when manicured
the roadsides
and waysides
have a dignity.
It is mere grass
treat not always
with contempt
to the roadsides
and waysides
absolute charm.
Reblogged from poesyon.blogspot.com
I see the grass everywhere
with or without care
grows in lands bare
a lovely sight to share.
The green grass is thin
causesnot much of a din
finds itself into the bin
yet sprouts up again with a grin.
The tinier the grass seems
the stronger it is beyond dreams
spreads in a contagious scheme
gets rooted deep into the theme.
That way the grass grows
both in empty land and on the shores
either tended and mowed in a close
or left unkempt and left coarse.
The blades of grass
so far gleaming and sharp
shining with dew over them
glimmering in the day light
looks so pale and brown
turned so for no rain
withered and haggard
they appear in the morning light
A noteworthy sign of prosperity
now to a dull dry coarse yarn
render a feel of sadness in the tone
there be a strain and a drain
imploring for copious rain
that play cats and dogs all through
signifying a parched lifeless land.
The white cat on the red wall
jumped down on the green grass
beautifully kept with violets around.
It strode across the muddy path
leading to a magnificent golden court
where little girls in pink pinafore stood.
The girls were playing in the twilight
with the blue moon shining over them
as the black night slowly advanced through.
The fluffy cat hopped over to the blue waters
that lay little off the orange orchard
where her brown kittens loitered about.
Reaching the orchard she sank on the ground
as she being exhausted and tired
while the sky turned indigo as the night advanced.
the flower blooms
signalling prosperity
the grass grows thick
indicating fertility
the trees yield fruits
showing out their fecundity
the man powers his strength
destroying the fellow human
not for their own
but to make others happy
while man gets stronger
turning his own breed unhappy
while tormenting the rest.
That is a flower
a fruit and grass
Well, that is also
the man at the last.
The little grass seen over there
dazzled with dew drops on its blades.
The green and silvery hue over there
set a picture of a lively glade.
The grass knew not it is going to be razed down
as a man was moving to the spot to cut it in haste.
The sprightly grass became nothing exposing the ground brown.
The grass lay down in heap assuming the expense of waste.
Nay, it did not lay thee for long under the sun
as a cow ,which was loitering around, seeing the grass
walked towards it and started munching it with great fun.
With that the grass vanished from sight in a flash.

Rightly Dividing the Word of TruthDecember 3, 2019 at 4:45 pm | Posted in John | 1 Comment
Tags: commentary on John, division, Feast of Tabernacles, Jesus Christ, John 7, living water, Nicodemus, Sunday School lessons on John
Jesus continued teaching at the Feast of Tabernacles.
In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink.
John 7:37
This may have been the eighth day of the feast, but most likely it was the seventh day when the lampstand was lit and the water offering was poured out.
He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)
John 7:38-39
He continued using water to illustrate the eternal life that He grants, and now He associated the Living Water that only needs to be drunk once and then becomes an everlasting well in the drinker with the Holy Spirit Who would indwell believers after Jesus's Ascension.
The response to this teaching was great speculation, conjecture, controversy, and confusion about Who exactly this Jesus was. Was He the Prophet from Deuteronomy 18:15, or was He the Messiah, the heir of David?
So there was a division among the people because of him.
John 7:43
This was very common throughout Jesus's earthly ministry, not only in John's Gospel, but in the synoptic Gospels, too. Jesus came to divide between the true and the false, the real and the fake, light and darkness, the devil's kingdom and His Father's Kingdom. Here, it provoked a decision to arrest Jesus.
Then came the officers to the chief priests and Pharisees; and they said unto them, Why have ye not brought him?
John 7:45
These Levitical police officers were not Roman centurions. They were unaccustomed to using force in public, especially when the alleged perpertator could actually be the Messiah, or at least a bona fide prophet from God.
The officers answered, Never man spake like this man.
John 7:46
Of course, Jesus was no "mere man."
Then answered them the Pharisees, Are ye also deceived? Have any of the rulers or of the Pharisees believed on him? But this people who knoweth not the law are cursed.
John 7:47-49
The common people were looked down upon by the Pharisees for their lack of religious training or knowledge.
Nicodemus saith unto them, (he that came to Jesus by night, being one of them,) Doth our law judge any man, before it hear him, and know what he doeth?
John 7:50-51
Nicodemus was at least in favor of searching the Scriptures to gauge the truth of what Jesus was teaching. As Christians today, we have access to a fuller revelation of God in our Scriptures than Nicodemus did in his, and we must be even more scrupulous in applying them.

|RE: He Doesn't Know Parnas17-01-2020 21:44
|Despite a warning from Lev Parnas, President Trump claimed not to know him again Thursday. "I don't know Parnas, other than I guess I had pictures taken, which I do with thousands of people," Trump told reporters in the Oval Office. "I don't know him at all, don't know what he's about, don't know where he comes from, know nothing about him. ... I don't believe I've ever spoken to him."
Jospeh Bondy, Parnas' lawyer, brought the receipts, posting a video taken at Mar-a-Lago in December 2016, where Trump is clearly talking with Parnas, who is standing next to him and also Roman Nasirov, a former Ukrainian official charged with embezzlement.
The only time a president denied so many things was Nixon. Just shows how little things matter in the US anymore than "I can do whatever I want".

|So, you expect Trump to remember, and know everyone he meets, or introduced to, forever? You do realize that those campaign dinner events, usually include a brief period of time with candidate, and a souvenir photo, few other perks? They aren't paying $1,000 per plate, because it's really good food.
There are over a thousand people where I work, and I've been there over 27 years. I can honestly only claim to really know, maybe 6 or 7 of them. I know the names of dozens of them, few personal details, where they live, but I really don't know them. There are more people who know my name, but I couldn't recall ever talking to them before. I stand out in the crowd a little though, well above the average height, long hair (short or shaved, is the normal).
Meet and greet, photo ops, are just publicity, usually mean more to the consumer, than to the candidate, or president. No disputing they got their picture taken with Trump, even shooks hands, doesn't mean they are friends and associates. Some people, a photo is all they need, makes them feel important, something to brag about. Guess now, you fell important too...

You of course, just acting stupid. If he doesn't remember, means there wasn't anything substantial to remember of such a meeting. He's probably done literally thousands of those photos, with people, he'd never expect to ever see again. Why would he even try to remember them all? Because one of them may someday, use that photo, as proof, they were once best of friends? Even though it was a PR photo event?

Holding suffers ACL injury
Arsenal have confirmed that Rob Holding has suffered an ACL injury on his left knee and will miss the rest of the season.
The statement on the club's official website says:
"Further to the injury sustained during our match at Manchester United on Wednesday night, we can confirm that Rob Holding has ruptured the anterior cruciate ligament of his left knee.
"Rob will undergo surgery to repair this in the coming days. The rehabilitation process is expected to take between six to nine months.
"Everyone at the club will now be working as hard as we can to ensure Rob is back on the pitch as soon as possible."
Holding was forced off the pitch after 36 minutes of Arsenal's draw against Manchester United at Old Trafford, and manager Unai Emery sent on Stephan Lichtsteiner to plug the gap. The injury was immediately obvious to be a serious one. However, only a subsequent scan could reveal the full extent of it, and it's far from being good news.
No moment can be considered acceptable, either by a player or his club, for something like this to happen. It certainly won't be easy for the 23-year-old to take this. He was just getting a regular run of games for the first time, and with a new system currently being implemented under a new coach, it's very important for every player to use every opportunity to impose themselves as needed. Holding will now be without such opportunities until the summer, and his chances of establishing himself as a long-term regular started under Emery will be very slim.
As for Arsenal, it's a good thing Laurent Koscielny is practically ready to come back. The captain has been out ever since he tore his Achilles tendon in the semifinal of the Europa League when the Gunners went out of the competition at the hands of eventual winners Atletico Madrid.

87 Monte SS
This site has been created to allow me to record and share my progress as I embark on restoring my 1987 Monte Carlo SS. Truth be told, I suppose it should properly be called a resti-fication since the Monte won't be original when I'm finished (it hasn't been numbers matching since the engine was replaced under warranty), and a lot of the new parts won't be original so I'm not going to split hairs over it. Anyway, with a little perseverance I hope to keep this site updated with photos and descriptions as my restoration brings this classic Monte Carlo SS back to its former glory! Between cleaning and painting the frame, customizing the interior and body, installing the new engine, rear end and suspension, there will be a lot of good information and tips contained within these pages!
This will be my first full-on restoration project since 1980. I'm not a professional mechanic, instead I prefer to think of myself as a mechanically inclined amateur with lots of talent. Hopefully, my enthusiasm will make up for my lack of professional training. I've got a feeling this is going to bring back a lot of memories along with some new challenges. In any case, with the motor I've got planned this Monte should give those little rice burners out there a run for their money when finished!
This site will be under construction for however long the project takes and will most likely ebb and flow with the project it documents. Money will no doubt be the biggest hurdle, (the last time I did this I didn't have a mortgage), and progress may be rather slow at times, since this will be a weekends only process. Besides, I'm not working on deadline, I get enough of that at work. My goal is quality, not quantity and I tend to be meticulous where things like this are concerned. So, feel free to browse around and take a peek at my progress!
In the beginning . . .
What you see here represents the culmination of all my rabid high school car fantasies. By 1986, I finally had the resources to join the late 80's muscle car revival. After spending years lusting after all makes and models of American muscle, it was love at first sight when Chevy re-introduced the Monte Carlo SS in 1983.
Why the Monte SS? Well, at the time, the Grand Prix 2+2 of the same period was ugly and underpowered, the Olds 442 while better than the Pontiac still had less power than the Chevy. Of course the Buick Grand National was too pricey for a guy working retail. I immediately began funneling all my extra cash into my "Monte" fund.
Each year I poured over the new car issues of all the major car magazines. The July 1985 issue of Car and Driver paired off the Monte SS, the Buick Grand National and the Olds 442. There's no telling how many times I read that particular issue, now archived in the library section. Finally, by the fall of 1986 I had enough of a downpayment to be able to have affordable monthly payments. I ordered it in winter 1986, then waited patiently to take delivery. Tragically, the love affair was cut short a mere 6 months later.
What I'm Doing & Why I'm doing it:
I was headed home from work one night on a winding country road, when a deer suddenly materialized out of nowhere. Acting on pure reflexes, I did the worst possible thing, I hit the brakes and cut the wheel hard to the left, throwing my Monte into a sideways skid across the opposing lane which was thankfully empty. Now out of control, momentum took me downhill sideways across the road at the apex of where the road curved right! The car went over the embankment of a culvert and up the opposite bank straight into a tree. As luck would have it, I managed hit the tree dead center too. Since the car couldn't pivot around the tree, it tried to wrap itself around it instead. They say any landing you can walk away from is a good one, but I had only owned the Monte 6 months and now there was nothing left that you could properly call a car.
Here's a full-on shot of the damage. The body shop said it was pushed in a little over 12 inches. The total cost of the damage was estimated to be $10,000. I'd only paid 12k and change for it in the first place. The body shop told GMAC "this car's hurt bad...the best thing to do is to total it."
GMAC's response was "either you fix it, or we'll find a shop that will." You know, there's nothing quite like the unparalleled fun of being at the mercy of both a finance company and an insurance company at the same time. Did I forget to mention that I also had the privilege of keeping up with the monthly payments while the work progressed? Oh yeah! The work was hampered as much by the insurance company's pay a little we'll inspect it before paying more method of funding the body shop as it was by the body shop giving "paying customers" projects top priority.
To this day I believe rotating my car in and out of production was a contributing factor to the "quality" of the final result. The insurance company stopped payment, so they probably said to themselves screw it, shove it out into the snow and get a paying customer's car in here. That's just business. Still doesn't make me any fonder of their work, but it does explain things.
The red arrow shows all I ended up with (deer-meat-wise), for my trouble. No joke. There were guys actually asking if I took the deer home! What am I, fricking Grizzly Adams? I wasn't about to pick up the carcass and throw it onto the flatbed like the HULK.
The yellow arrows show how far in the door, roof and hood were pushed. The green arrow is how far in the roof corner post was bent from its original position. The blue arrow shows the fender position as a reference point to where the corner post used to be.
Here's a shot of the cockpit. This is the first thing I saw when I sat up after the initial impact. Closest I ever want to come to what Roy Scheider's character went through in the motion picture "The 7-Ups." I spent hours later that night picking all the tiny safety glass shards out of my hair, from when the passenger window imploded. But...no cuts or lacerations...no broken bones either, so it could have been worse. However, this was Deja' Vu for me...a nightmarish replay of an accident I'd had 7 years earlier. Back then it had been a telephone pole instead of a tree. Check out "Boot Hill" for my '70 GTO rebuild odyssey.
I can only find one picture taken after the car was "repaired." Says more about my state of mind than mere words can. If I'd been thinking logically, I reallyshould have sold her right after I got her back. Once a car's been repaired at this level its never really the same. Every gear-head I talked to said so. In the final analysis, I was stubborn, I didn't really want to sell her and start all over again. All because I was unlucky enough to be in the wrong place at the wrong time?
No. I'd worked too hard to procure a car that embodied the GTO spirit, and since it was financed, I really didn't know how to go about selling it...paying off the finance company... and then going out and starting the whole cycle over again. Not only that, but by the time all this came to pass, (around '89-'90), the SS was no longer being made...at least not in the V-8/RWD configuration that was important to me.
The Monte SS Today - Winter 2007
Fast-forward 20 years. I'd moved from NJ to SC, gotten married, bought a house, and (naturally) grown older. Yes, the Monte is still around. But as the pictures show, the passage of time has not been kind to my once proud street warrior. By this time I'd begun toying with the idea of a total restoration, which the car so desperately needs. As the years went by, I kept up with her mechanical needs, a transmission rebuild here, a rear axle rebuild there, but the body and frame had never been right (in my humble opinion) since the accident. Yet, I waffled periodically, knowing full well what I was letting myself in for. But whenever I began to talk about selling my SS, my better half stopped me.
More than once I'd regaled her with tales of my amazing GTO rebuild (when I'd totaled it back in the early 1980's) including the lament that I never should have sold it. Plus, she watched me replace the worn out engine in my '80 Chevy Caprice Wagon around 1995 or so, and considers me to be some sort of mechanical "magician." So the big question is, can I once again tap into the "I can rebuild her, I have the tools..." spirit that I had 26 years ago when I was only 19 years old? I plan on finding out.
Exhibit A: In this first shot you can see where the fender, hood and door are rusting through. Perfect example of why (if you live in "Jersey" you might want to steer clear of the Giancola Auto Body shop. Yes, that's the real name of the body shop that committed this travesty, Google it if you want a similar quality paint job. What really burns me up to this day is that this was a body shop that (supposedly) specialized in Corvettes! I mean I know my car is no 'Vette, but let's look at the evidence...every panel which was replaced (or repaired), is rusting through from both sides let alone those places you can't see. I do not consider this acceptable work. As you can probably tell, my photography skills (and equipment) have improved considerably over the years. Like everybody else, I've now gone digital.
Exhibit B: In this shot you can see the exquisite (Corvette?) quality of the paint used for the repair. The last time I saw a surface like this, it was on a hard-boiled egg after I rolled it across the table. Not only was the paint quality poor, but due to the practices of the insurance company, when the body shop ran out of money and were waiting for the insurance company rep to review the work and issue another check, I'll bet you cold, hard cash that they rolled it outside!
This was during a typical New Jersey winter, so you figure out how many temperature cycles my car went through during the painting process. By the way, check out the lower quarter of the door, just below the rub strip. This area was totally covered in surface rust after the paint flaked off in huge flakes.
Just for kicks, I sanded it with some 60 grit one day, hit it with Rustoleum Red-Lead primer and then shot some Duplicolor touch up paint over the area. When the average Joe, (using rattle-cans), can achieve a better finish than a "professional" body shop, something's definitely wrong. As of this writing, my rattle-can job has held up for 2 years!
Exhibit C: In this shot, you can see the deterioration of the paint used on the hood. To this day, I truly believe that they painted the car without using any primer, let alone in a heated garage bay. Keep in mind now, this critique is from a guy who actually painted his own car (twice!) and still had it turn out much better than this. Feel free to check out my '70 GTO as well as my '73 Satellite I painted up as a Road Runner in my "Boot Hill" section before passing judgment.
I sprayed the Goat with lacquer (later buffing it out to a nice gloss) and later, my Satellite with Centari acrylic enamel. Maybe I'm picking nits, but when you pay for a professional job shouldn't you expect professional results? Remember now, this was a body shop that specialized in Corvettes, whose owners are probably far more picky than I am when it comes to their "baby." Maybe it was too much of a "come down" to paint an ordinary Chevy, who knows.
Here's an overhead shot of the roof. You can clearly see the area that was repaired as well as where the surrounding sheet metal was wrinkled, bent and stretched. At the time the body shop said it took them 3 "pulls" to straighten out the frame. Of course the floor pan, seat, and transmission cross member were all bent as well.
By the way, doesn't all that bending weaken the steel? Really makes you wonder why GMAC demanded that the car be fixed in the first place, doesn't it? Then again, these were the same jabronies who "lost" my file when I went to pay off my car loan 6 months early. What a travesty!
There I stood, cashier's check in hand only to be informed that the woman I had scheduled an appointment with (a week earlier), was on vacation. How nice. Next, they couldn't find my paperwork...couldn't I just come back next week? Uh no, my boss gave me the morning off to take care of this. If the balance changes, my check is incorrect and I will accrue more interest. My cashier's check, (which cost a fee to obtain), would no longer be valid. I offered to give them the check if they would give me a signed document saying the loan was paid in full. No, that wasn't their "policy."
It was at this point the little men in the brain-room started throwing the little red switches. This was supposed to have been a simple, straightforward procedure, submit the cashier's check, get the title to the car, return to work without eating into my vacation time. Nope, not for Brian.
"So let me get this straight," I said feeling the hairs on the back of my neck stiffen, "you can't find my paperwork right?" "Unfortunately that seems to be the case sir." "So technically the car doesn't exist, right?" "Of course it exists sir." "Really? Where's your proof?" "Sir, I'm quite certain if we come to your house we'll find it sitting in your yard." "I can assure you," I said my voice getting louder, "If you come to my house, you will not find it. How can you? You don't have any paperwork to even show what it is you're looking for!"
I'd gotten loud enough by this point that everyone was staring at me (and keeping a respectful distance as well), just as a manager appeared to escort me into a nice little glass booth. Remember though, this was pre-9/11. I'd probably get dragged off in shackles if I pulled that today, but back then it was a definitive WTF moment.
Here's a closer shot of the "crackled" paint on the roof. Clearly you can see that they painted the car without using any primer, the grey in this photo is actually the metal of the roof where the white paint has flaked off. No other material is in evidence. I went so far as to scrape the surface with a utility knife, to be sure that the grey area is metal not primer.
One thing I noticed after the accident was that in cold weather, the windshield would creak each time I hit a bump. I'm not sure if it's the replacement windshield trying to pop out or the "straightened" windshield post finally parting company from the cowl/firewall. Irrelevant now that my rebuild is imminent, but it did little to inspire confidence in a driver who'd been through a major wreck.
Once I made the commitment to restoring her, the solution was clear. Since my SS has a "compromised" frame/body but a good power train, I concocted a plan (although hardly an original one), to find a "regular" Monte Carlo upon which to base my rebuild. Ideally, my "dream find" would be a car with a deceased or missing drive train, (since I have those) yet have a "cherry" body and chassis.
Then, as luck would have it, one day on my way to work, I spotted just what I'd been looking for. The only problem was, it was sitting in just about the worst place I could imagine... an independent used car lot. Crap! I passed it each day for about a week before finally deciding "oh, what the hell" and stopped in to check it out. It turned out to be an '87 LS with a 305 and a reasonably straight body. Someone had tried to turn it into a "Boompha" car by filling the trunk up with the biggest sub-woofer possible. After crawling all over it from top to bottom, the salesman tossed me the keys, so I hopped in and started her up... VAROOM! "Oh yeah!" I thought, (goosing the throttle a couple of times), it had standard-issue "good ol' boy approved" glass packs baby! The stock muffler had long since been ash-canned (as had all the pollution equipment), hence the nickname I later bestowed upon the car. The price was 2,995, (pretty much all I had at the time), so I thanked the guy and went home to think things over.
So, another week goes by with me passing this thing each day on my way in to work. Finally, Friday (the one day I get off early from work) rolled around and this time I decided to take the car for a spin. I'd declined the proffered test-drive on my previous visit, not knowing how much was in my project-car stash. Having been given the green light by my better half, we took the car out and although worn it was basically in sound shape. Now came the part I dreaded most, the haggling over the price. To make matters worse, the salesman I was working with was also the owner, obviously a veteran in the field.
He opened the show with the old "another guy looked at it and wants it, but..." routine. This guy's nod to originality was the summation of ..."he needs a co-signer for his loan." This guy's right out of Central Casting I thought to myself... (The last time a "Slick Willy" car salesman gave me that same line I shrugged and said, "well, give him a call and tell him it's his," and walked away.) I mean come on, guys...come up with some fresh material will you?
Anyway, he went on to answer my next question (un-asked), by immediately pointing out that until he had a deposit, the car was still for sale. This guy was the consummate showman, pulling out all the stops by (drumroll please) calling this "other person" on the phone as we sat there! "I know you want the car, but I've got a serious buyer here.... uh huh.... were you able to get your uncle to co-sign the loan? I see..." "Oh brother," I thought (giving my wife the old eye roll) talk about over-playing your hand. He could've been spouting off to his home answering machine or college buddy for all I knew, hell I didn't fall off the turnip truck yesterday.
Unimpressed with the second act, I let my wife (my first-string haggler), open the negotiations by asking for his "friendliest price." But since I was "a serious buyer" he had what I wanted and knew it. He had me over a barrel and wouldn't budge on the price, telling me it had only been on the lot for 2 weeks [NOOOO...REALLY?] and that he was into it for 2,500. Before either of us could reply, he played the "that car wasn't even supposed to be part of the sale we're having this month, since it's only been here a short time" card. "Sale?" I thought to myself, "What sale?" I didn't see a single "SALE" sign anywhere, not even a string of the traditional cheesy, triangular, multi-colored plastic flags that usually flap in the breeze at such places.
Knowing I only had $3,000 to play with, I prepared my summation. Unlike when I was younger (pulse pounding, wad of cash in my pocket getting sweaty) I wanted the car, but I wasn't in love with it and fully prepared to walk if necessary. I knew he'd start padding the price from there, so I countered with "okay, but that includes tax, tags and everything." I was getting ready to shake his hand and leave since I had my limits and wasn't about to exceed them. If I had to, I'd just keep searching for something I could afford...bottom line. If its such a deal of a lifetime why's it still wearing a "FOR SALE" sign? He must've sensed this, so he said, "3 grand out the door... you got yourself a deal." Not expecting him to accept my offer, I was momentarily stunned. I now owned 2 '87 Monte Carlos.
Since the south doesn't dump the gross tonnages of salt on the roads that they do up north each winter, it stands to reason that my quest to find a relatively rust-free unmolested example should be child's play. Ah, but I now live in "Good Ol' Boy" land, where NASCAR is king and most of what I was looking for had already been driven into the ground or (even worse), slammed into a lowrider years before. Most of what I found were people wanting collector car prices for some beater they pulled out of a field, or what was left of a car that had been clearly seen better days. My dream of finding one at an estate sale, (driven by the proverbial little old lady), was a real pipe dream. Even the Internet yielded butkus.
The plan: I'll use my white SS as a "parts car" for the rebuild. As my plan took shape, (and the cash became available), I began hunting. I figured any Monte from around '85-'88 would make the best candidate for what I had in mind. So finally (after years of being the quintessential "it's not for sale, I'm going to restore it" knucklehead to every guy who asked if I wanted to sell it), my project was about to get off the ground.
Although I've religiously changed my oil every 3,000 miles my "original" 305 HO developed a clacking noise in the top end. I figured this was probably a bent push rod or loose rocker arm nut. The more I pondered my options, the more I thought the SS deserving of the type of engine it should have had from the factory. Since the same vintage Camaro had a 350 option, my SS should have one too. At the onset, I planned on going to a local junkyard and get one out of a wreck.
I ran this idea by my father-in-law and he pointed out several flaws to this approach. Yes, a junkyard engine is probably the cheapest way to go, but (and it's a BIG BUT), there's no way of knowing what you're getting. For reliability I'd have to rebuild the engine anyway, and with my free time at a premium this approach quickly lost its appeal. That left new. That meant money... and quite a bit of it. I weighed the options (as I saved up my cash) finally settling on a GM performance ZZ4-350 to power my ride.
I started saving while prices kept creeping up and GM went into bankruptcy. Finally at the end of June 2009, I called Summit and ordered my engine and the serpentine belt accessory kit to go with it. Now if GM failed, I still had the most important parts to begin my project.
A buddy I went to high school with drove a 1971 LT-1 Camaro SS/RS. His 350 handily shut down my 327 Impala in an impromptu street race on the way home from school one day. When we both pulled in his yard afterwards I told him he might need to rebuild his engine in the near future. When he asked why, I showed him my oil-speckled windshield and asked for some Windex.
Gentlemen - Pick Up Your Engine!
So, If saving up for the engine was the hardest part, (at least from the suspense of trying to out-earn the constant price-hikes), what was the easiest? Simple. Going down to the local UPS hub to pick up my new power plant.
Since my own pickup still had the ARE lid covering the bed (although it looks great, it's a one-piece design and one heavy sucker to remove and store), My father-in-law and I took the line of least resistance and piled into his Dodge Dakota to bring my baby home.
Damn, and it was perfectly placed... okay, now I know there are liability issues in every industry, but is this really necessary? I guess I'm an optimist and like to give folks the benefit of the doubt when it comes to rudimentary intelligence. Clearly this isn't the case or this little "disclaimer" wouldn't be so prominently displayed.
If my primary purpose is to document my adventures in rebuilding my car, then I suppose my secondary purpose is to inject a little humor wherever I find it. It helps at the end of a satisfying (albeit frequently exhausting), day of wrenching. This was just too good to pass up!
Wheredya wannit? My Father-In-Law may be small, but he's certainly mighty. I snapped this shot right after he single-handedly lifted the crate engine out of the bed of his pickup and asked me where I wanted it! Just your basic crate-engine.
Hidden as it was beneath all the wire and wood, it's kind of hard to tell (unless you've actually ordered one of these yourself), just what's in the crate. It sure helps to have a big bowl of Wheaties every morning eh? This still would have been much more impressive if the engine could've actually been seen. Oh well.
I guess I better come clean before somebody actually runs out and tries this in the real world. In reality, what we did was make use of a couple of those ratcheting load straps that you see for sale all over the place. We were careful to support the load from underneath, using the same lifting points as the guy running the UPS fork lift did.
I suppose you could also get by with chains or cables too, but since these straps have become so widely available (and so obviously handy), we used what we had on hand. It really amazes me the load these straps can handle, whether lifting, or securing a load being hauled. If you don't have a couple in your shop, I highly recommend you pick up a set the next time they're on sale.
1987 Monte Carlo LS (as purchased)
So, here she is, the basis for my rebuild of my '87 Monte Carlo SS. Doesn't look too bad in this shot does she? Well this is what I would call a 50/50 paint job. It looks good from 50 feet away when the car's going 50 miles per hour!
All joking aside, the car has some issues that will need to be addressed during the rebuild. As near as I can figure, this was a "quicky" paint job (the kind made famous by a certain chain that shall remain nameless), and they didn't let the car dry off between prep steps so up close there are thousands of little "pin holes" jutting up from the surface. If you look closely at the hood, you can also see where the clear coat is peeling off like onionskin.
Add to that the fact that the paint was laid on so thick that it's all too easy to catch an edge with your fingernail and chip off a sizable flake of paint. Kind of makes you wonder about all those super-high-end paint jobs featuring 30 coats of paint, doesn't it?
The rear quarter windows on this model have a rubber surround. Quite obviously, this car was painted by masking off the rubber, which is shall we say, the budget way of doing things. However, this meant that as the rubber shrank, the paint no longer came up to the edge of the rubber and began to flake off there as well. My game plan is to remove all the glass and spray the car the way the factory did.
Really looks too good to mess with, doesn't it? Let's just say looks can be deceiving. For one thing, all the rubber gaskets and seals are prime candidates for immediate replacement. This will include the rubber that seals the perimeter of the door opening (sealing the door glass to the body), as well as the rubber gasket that goes around the actual door itself and the "fuzzies" that go on either side of the door window glass at the top edge of the door.
Obviously there are lots of other rubber items to replace. The motor mounts and transmission mount quickly come to mind. It is my intention to be as thorough as possible, so my car will be a virtual "time-machine" back to 1987.
Here's a shot to illustrate some of the rubber in need of immediate replacement. The window "fuzzies" are so brittle they snap instead of flexing if you try to bend them. Right now I've got it in our carport so when it rains the doors won't fill up with water.
I was going to try to repair them with some black silicone as a band-aid, but after the first piece snapped off in my hand, I decided to wait. Rubber really degrades over time, this car is now over 20 years old and in need of all the attention I plan on lavish upon it. In fact, I may have to replace the windshield gasket as well, since it appears to be cracking and crumbling on the inside where the dashboard meets the windshield.
Here's another angle. In the following shots, you can see where I've slapped on the stock Monte SS wheel and tire combo. When I bought the car it had custom wheels that stuck out way too far (positive offset?) and this resulted in the front tires rubbing through the plastic inner fender liner exposing the speedo cable on the driver's side.
Naturally, when I mentioned this to the dealer, he pooh-poohed it, saying all the car needed were some wheel adapters. Yeah... right... maybe you've got some "uni-lug" wheels you'll let me have for a song too.
Anyway, my interim solution was to swap over properly sized wheels and tires from my SS, until the rebuild is complete. It does make me wonder what would've happened if someone less observant or knowledgeable had bought this. The clearance problem had the potential to tear up the tire if it had been let go for too long, at least in my humble opinion.
The previous owner obviously had a blue theme going, judging from the matching blue window tint on all of the windows except the windshield. I gotta give him credit though, the guy obviously cared about the car, the window tint isn't your typical slap-dash bubble impregnated nightmare, it actually looks like it was professionally applied. This seems to be de riguer here in the south, but it would never pass inspection back in Jersey!
Interestingly, I had added Goodyear "Hi-Miler" radiator hoses to my white SS which are blue, as are the Split-Fire spark plug wires I added later on. Almost makes me think it was fate that I found this car at this place in time. Weird huh?
The interior was in really good shape too... for a 21 year old car that is. My white SS was at the point where the headliner had long-since parted company with the foam rubber/fiber board sub-strata and was drooping down like most cars of this vintage. Once I got tired of having to wear a ball cap every time I drove it (to keep the headliner off my head), I removed it completely.
The Monte LS however, is still in pretty good shape, the headliner is up where it belongs with no sagging and only the driver's seat is really in need of reupholstering. Then again, the back seat is in superb condition. The dealer did say the previous owner was married and needed a minivan for his expanding family. Oh well, his loss was my gain.
Ah, here we go, the most important part of the equation to any gearhead... the power plant! Of course this model has the standard 305 C.I.D. (cubic inch displacement for you younger/metric folks) 4-barrel version. If I had been considering fuel injection, this might not have been all that great. In fact, at one point I was considering fuel injection and had expanded my search for the elusive V-6 FI Monte Carlo. Ever seen one? Neither have I, but when I stumbled across this car, the whole FI issue became irrelevant. I plan on building this car up "old-school" and that means cubes and a four-barrel. My plans call for the immediate replacement of the 305 wheezer for a more appropriate 350 small-block. The way the factory should have built it in the first place.
Some of you may be thinking I'm off my noodle. After all, gas is over $3.00 per gallon in South Carolina (as of this writing) why would he want a bigger, thirstier engine? Simple... I, refuse to let the world situation dictate what I drive. My best buddy from high school (the same one with the Plymouth Satellite 440) is always complaining about the terrible mileage his new Japanese truck gets. This, from the guy who once joked to me that Nissan was Japanese for a**hole. He now raves about his 4 cylinder KIA and what great mileage he gets. As far as I'm concerned, KIA means Killed in Action. He must've suffered a concussion sometime in the intervening years I guess.
Nope, as Popeye once said "I yam what I yam and that's all that I yam." There's only one V-6 powered car in my driveway. It belongs to my wife. I'd considered a 383 stroker engine, but for what I have planned (your basic street warrior/grocery getter), a 350 seems more than adequate.
Shortly after buying the LS, I had to press the car into service while my truck was in the shop. Once I got my truck back I figured the LS needed a thorough going over. I changed the oil, replaced the heater hoses (as well as a hose in the fuel line where an in-line fuel filter obviously once resided), and the air filter. I also replaced the valve cover gaskets, which were leaking. Then I noticed what appeared to be yellow tubes coming out of the distributor! I decided to explore this mystery a bit deeper and pulled the distributor cap and rotor. The following photos detail the results of my investigation. I don't know what caused the problem, but it needed correcting ASAP.
The yellow tubing was being used to cover wires whose insulation had dissolved into a thin sticky covering. Another section of wiring had been "repaired" with black electrical tape, while the rest was left as is. A quick trip to the local Chevy dealership's parts department and I had a factory replacement in my hot little hands. I really don't know what was keeping this car running. At any rate, replacing this mess with a new factory harness helped put my mind at ease the next time I took the car for a spin.
While I was under the hood, I noticed that at some point in the car's history, the original computer controlled carburetor was replaced with an older model Quadrajet. Now if it were me, I'd have simply tucked the unused connectors to the side. Whoever swapped the carbs took a quicker "chop and hack" approach to the wiring harness. Some of the cut wires looked like somebody used a pair of dull scissors to do the job. To my way of thinking this was just begging for a short circuit... perhaps even a fire.
My solution (for the time being so I can drive the darned thing) was cut a clean edge (where needed) and insulate the wire tips with dabs of black silicone. Once I replace the engine, I'll upgrade and rewire the under hood harness properly. If needed, I can always take whatever I might need off my white SS donor car.
Now on computer controlled cars, many different sensors and senders are coordinated by the "brain." Naturally the hacked up wiring harness under the hood would result in the "check engine" light staying on indefinitely. When I was confronted with a similar situation (years ago on another project), I simply removed the offending light bulb.
Whoever modified the harness decided to use black paint to cover up the light! They did a pretty neat job too, but I think a thin strip of black electrical tape probably would have sufficed. Of course at night you can still see the light (black paint and all), but I'll fix that problem too... eventually.
This is what the Monte LS had in it when I bought it. I know what you may be thinking, "why get rid of a modern unit in favor of an outdated original unit?" Well, the answer is quite simple actually. I couldn't get it to play properly no matter which buttons I pressed.
Besides, I don't measure performance by how many windows I can rattle on the houses I drive by. I measure performance by how fast I can get from point A to point B. Not only that, but when I actually tried the radio you see here, the right-rear speaker was the only one that would emit any sound whatsoever. It sounded so tinny and distorted I figured it was on its last legs. Both front speakers were blown... I already have new Infinity replacements on order.
Over the years, I've found lots of interesting stuff in the trunks of cars I've purchased. What I usually keep in my trunk is a toolbox, spare tire and a varied assortment of automotive detritus one might expect in such a place. Never once did I fill up the trunk of any car with stereo equipment... unless of course I was hauling it someplace. But to actually install this level of audio equipment on a permanent basis... that's just not my thing.
When I go down the street I prefer to make a different kind of "music" other than a thumping bass beat. Oh well, more stuff to auction off on eBay is how I look at it. By the way, the spare in the picture is a 14-incher, while the car actually wears 15-inch rubber. Since I'll be upgrading the car to 17 inchers (to clear the bigger brakes I'm planning) I really don't care too much.
Here's something you don't see every day. I thought everyone knew that the sound from speakers has no trouble passing through material like grilles or fabric coverings. I guess this guy never got that memo. We gotta be able to hear the beat!
Oh brother... well needless to say, I'll be replacing the rear package shelf at some point, probably when I tackle the interior as a whole. My goal at this point is just to make the car drivable, should I need it in the event my daily driver craps out. Besides, I have to have a little fun with it before I tear it apart, don't I?
This means I need some tunes to travel with. I've got no beef with Kenwood, if the thing actually played. It doesn't, so... adios Mr. Kenwood, hello "stock" head unit.
Not so fast, Kemo Sabe. It seems there's this small wiring issue you'll have to straighten out first. Oh boy. Instead of wiring the Kenwood plug to an adapter and plugging the stock connectors into that, the guy chopped off the stock connectors completely and wired in the Kenwood connector directly. Drat!
Additionally, the plug going into the back of the Kenwood unit was also screwed up, with some wires literally just "jammed" into place instead of properly crimped or soldered. So, I have no remorse whatsoever in retrofitting the car with an original (albeit upgraded) head unit.
Here's the main reason I dubbed my new ride "Blue Thunder". Of course I'm not really complaining too loudly... pun intended. After all, this is the kind of stuff I'd have done to my Chevy Impala back in high school if I'd had the means. Of course I can hear my Dad now, "why the hell do you want to ruin your car by making it make all that noise." Uh, gee Dad, that's the whole point. But then my Dad once tried to put a single exhaust system on the 1957 Hemi-Powered Desoto he once drove. Why? He didn't want to spend the extra cash for duals! If only I had that baby today!
But now of course, I only have to answer to myself. At any rate, these will do just fine for now. My future plans include a stainless steel dual system by a company called Pypes. I've always felt that if I was going to re-do the exhaust, I was going to "do it once and do it right." I don't want to rattle the windows of my neighbors (there's a kid up the street with a Camaro who does just that... I think he's running open headers), but instead want an understated authoritative rumble that tells the world "this ain't no stock 305 baby!"
Okay, now here's a shot I just had to include in this narrative. The stock Monte Carlos SS came with duals only after the catalytic converter. As a result of this design, the transmission cross member had no provision for true dual exhaust, which would have had the traditional "dual-hump" design. Check out the red arrows in the accompanying picture.
This guy's solution? Grab the nearest BFH (big f***ing hammer), and proceed to beat the living snot out of the exhaust pipe until enough clearance was gained. Here's a news flash... an engine is (in essence), a big air pump. The reason us "gear heads" install duals in the first place is to flow more air out of the engine. Of course the intake side is important too, but you get the gist.
What this ham-fisted approach has done, is undo a lot of the good that trashing the stock exhaust might have accomplished. At least as far as the left bank of cylinders is concerned. I'll have to admit though, my wife came out to see what all the hilarity was for, I was laughing so hard. I'd always heard about the "get a bigger hammer" school of mechanics, but to actually see it in practice... priceless. One more thing to add to my rapidly growing "to do" list.
So there you have it. The basis for "restoring" (and I use the term loosely), my Monte SS to her former glory. Was it worth 3 grand? Well, we'll have to see. My game plan (at this point anyway), is to sell off everything I don't need or want to help finance the completion of the project.

Let your smile change the world,
don't let the world change your smile!
Hello I'm Janet Van Blarcom and I'm the smiling face behind the camera. I am a high school senior portrait photographer in southern Wisconsin. In 2014, my husband, Mark, passed away after a long, hard-fought battle with cancer. Many emotional and heartbreaking days followed for me and my family. After reading several books about coping with grief, one of the suggested actions was to take up a new hobby. I decided to focus my energy on something that brought peace and joy to my heart and to my life. I picked up my camera, started capturing all the beauty around me and opened my photography business Mark the Date Photography.
My goal is to show off what makes you uniquely YOU. Each click of the shutter will showcase your beauty, grace, strength and enthusiasm for life. It will be an incredible experience. I can't wait to meet you.
~Janet Van Blarcom
Janet took my daughter, Grace's, senior pictures. Janet did a fantastic job. Janet is so comfortable and relaxed doing her job that it made us feel the same way. Janet has great ideas for locations and fun poses. Highly recommend Janet.
Peggy Hicks
Thank you for the best photography experience we have ever had. The whole photo shoot was fun and very comfortable. We felt very involved in the process and had ample opportunity to give our creative feedback. Janet was very receptive to our request and allowed us to be very involved in the creative process. Cheyenne's pictures turned out amazing! We look forward to working with Janet in the future.
Erica Koeppel
Our family is extremely pleased with the quality of the photos and the overall very positive experience our daughter, Eliza, had with Janet. Eliza is the last of our four children to have her senior photos taken. The experience we had with Janet is the very best in terms of experience and quality. We highly recommend that if you are considering having pictures taken, for whatever occasion or event, please give Janet a call.
Otis and Tammy Woods
Janet did an awesome job with Sam's senior pictures and we could not be more pleased with how they turned out! Janet was fun to work with, offered great ideas and wonderful options for places to take Sam's pictures. We would highly recommend Janet to others!
Kim Trainor
Janet did my daughter, Leah's, senior pictures. Janet is very professional,
great to work with and she did a fantastic job on the pictures. We would highly recommend Janet to take your senior pictures!
Helen Hanna
I've had the opportunity to work with Janet on three occasions so far. All of my experiences have been wonderful. Janet has a very creative eye but most importantly she listens. My son's senior picture session was probably the most evident of this. The session went very smoothly and Janet listened to what he wanted and did some of her own research on his visions. She had investigated locations and had the locations in mind to do some really unique things. The pictures turned out wonderful and she has been able to capture the genuine smile of a kid who, prior to sessions with Janet, didn't typically smile in photos.
Barb Baumgartner
Janet was so organized. She picked out the most perfect locations to capture Dalton's pictures. Picture locations and poses were unique. Janet thought of everything. Janet was personable and related so well with Dalton. Every picture was amazing and really captured Dalton's personality and high school likes. The sports shots were one-of-a-kind. We received the finished photos very quick which was awesome because we were so excited to see them.
Wendy Fahey
Janet is extremely enthusiastic and creative. She welcomed our ideas for photo concepts and went above and beyond on the time she spent with us to capture just the right pictures. Highly recommend her for senior pictures!
Pam Kelly
"Look no farther! You will not find a more passionate, professional and kind photographer! Janet will do whatever it takes to capture the perfect photos for you. She trudged through a foot of snow and freezing temperatures to capture my daughters dream photos with her beloved horse! She is patient and fun and will make your session memorable."
