LaHood stepping down as Secretary of TransportationWritten by Jenifer Nunez, assistant editor
U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood is stepping down and will not serve a second term.
"I have let President Obama know that I will not serve a second term as Secretary of the U.S. Department of Transportation," he stated in his official blog Fast Lane. "It has been an honor and a privilege to lead the Department and I am grateful to President Obama for giving me such an extraordinary opportunity. I plan to stay on until my successor is confirmed to ensure a smooth transition for the department and all the important work we still have to do.
"As I look back on the past four years, I am proud of what we have accomplished together in so many important areas," he continued. "But what I am most proud of is the DOT team. You exemplify the best of public service and I truly appreciate all that you have done to make America better, to make your communities better and to make DOT better.
"We have made great progress in improving the safety of our transit systems, pipelines and highways and in reducing roadway fatalities to historic lows.
"We helped jumpstart the economy and put our fellow Americans back to work with $48 billion in transportation funding from the American Recovery and Investment Act of 2009 and awarded more than $3.1 billion in Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery (TIGER) grants to 218 transportation projects across the Nation. [We] have secured funding in the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act to help states build and repair their roads, bridges and transit systems.
"And to further secure our future, we have taken transportation into the 21st century with CAFE Standards, NextGen and our investments in passenger and high-speed rail.
"Each of these remarkable accomplishments is a tribute your hard work, creativity, commitment to excellence and most of all, your dedication to our country. DOT is fortunate to have such an extraordinary group of public servants. I look forward to continuing to work with all of you as the selection and confirmation process of the next transportation secretary moves forward. Now is not the time to let up, we still have a number of critical safety goals to accomplish and still more work to do on the implementation of MAP-21.
Upon hearing the news, Association of American Railroads President and CEO Ed Hamberger said, "Secretary LaHood brought passion, energy and a deep commitment to safety to his work at the Department of Transportation. Under his leadership, railroads have never been safer. In addition, he understood the importance of freight rail to our nation's economic vitality. We thank him for a job well done."

Creston and I tied for last at 9-6 picking the NFL games last week (I'm going to give him the Broncos since he mentioned Manning in picking the Colts, who didn't actually play), and Jivaro and Mag did us one better at 10-5. But hats off to Cutter, who returned to dominance by going 12-3. Here's what my dartboard and I came up with for this week: Cardinals, Dolphins, Packers, Ravens, Giants, Steelers, Falcons, Seahawks, Bears, Vikings, Patriots, 49ers, Chargers, Texans.

The possibility of moving the Raisin Township Police Department into the former Sutton School building on Sutton Road remains only in the talking stages.
Jay Cavanaugh, township supervisor, and Harry Hutchison, township building inspector, answered questions about a potential project from the audience at Monday's township board meeting. A year ago, the Lenawee Intermediate School District, which owns the now-vacant former one-room schoolhouse and addition, entered into a lease agreement with Raisin Township at a cost of $1 for 10 years, and the township has been exploring the possibility of using a portion of the building.
"We are in a position now where we need to make a decision. This has been on the back burner for a year. We aren't spending any money right now," Cavanaugh said. "But, we need to determine if it is worth it to spend some money, have three firms come in (with proposals) and tell us what needs to be done."
Hutchison said the township has received proposals from two companies, Blackstoc (BA) of Traverse City and Better Design Group of Michigan, and waiting for a proposal from T.S. Quatro of Ypsilanti. He said the first two proposals have an estimated cost of up to $400,000 to renovate the building for a full conversion. That price was in line with expectations, Hutchison said.
Stan Wilson, whose company Wilson Backhoe of Britton holds the contract to demolish the former schoolhouse, said he was sure the LISD had already studied the building and decided that whatever historic value it had was not enough when compared to the cost of renovating. The LISD and the Sutton School Preservation Foundation had been wrangling for several years over the fate of the building, constructed in 1859 by the Sutton family, who were Quakers and local abolitionists. Nothing has been settled or done for the past two years.
Hutchison and Cavanaugh both said this new set of proposals are for something different. The board has a lot of different options, but both stressed nothing has been decided.
"The money for an architect is going to be spent only when the board decides to go ahead," Cavanaugh said. "When (all the proposals are) in, it will be on the agenda and we will talk about it."
Hutchison said the preliminary cost to do a full conversion of the building was estimated at between $350,000 and $400,000. He said other possibilities could involve using part of the building for the police department and renovating the rest of it as a training facility.
In 2009, several proposals were made by the Preservation Foundation to buy the building and move it to a new location so it could be used by community groups as a teaching tool. However, nothing came of the plans and the building has sat unused.
Raisin Twp. Board still looking at Sutton school use
The possibility of moving the Raisin Township Police Department into the former Sutton School building on Sutton Road remains only in the talking stages.

The story is of how a 23 year old answer to prayer was really a prophetic message that wasn't to be understood as such until now.
I will admit, that these supernatural incidences are always filtered through my Christian upbringing, and so their interpretations. If you'd like an example you can read one of the latest supernatural incidences and comment on what conclusion you would have come to if the same thing had happened to you. The story is of how a 23 year old answer to prayer was really a prophetic message that wasn't to be understood as such until now.
If we fail to repent, the banning of guns is next, and foolishly, the darkened minds of the unrepentant will accept the ban which will usher in the inevitable tyrannical regime, which is the default form of government in a world without God.
I read the glurge - and I don't actually see ANY supernatural intervention there at all. You didn't want to see films, but you were convinced to go to one, and while on the way there, lots of people got gassed and some were killed, so in the end you didn't see the movie. I see nothing "supernatural" here at all, so can you please clarify?Or are you in fact suggesting that the gassing was in some way caused by your loving god?
I'd like to offer you a challenge,I bet you can't edit your remarks in such a way as to eliminate invectives , insults, and profanity. You need me to be a coward do you? Is that kind of abuse necessary for you to defend your position?I do appreciate you taking the time to read and comment, but I'll not respond to your flaming aggression. That's sick puppy material right there.
Try this one out, it's one more of my considerable list of stories. http://tinyurl.com/CattleOnThousandHills
Dana had stickers on her truck and one said 'SMUT PEDDLERS'. Whatever that is I don't want to know,
I said let's look online and see the transaction on my Credit card website. There it was, all ofone dollar. Her eyes were watery, and she was confused, as was I for it certainly was the correcttransaction. In the meantime Pat in the background could be heard editorializing on the ridiculousnessof my buying the gas in the first place. (I'm down playing my wife's comments again), to which I was ableto reply calling down the hallway: "Dana's paying me back and it is only a dollar!".Bang bam boom.We're both stunned but she more than I, as this is how profound God's leading has been for me.I explained to Dana that even if we see the transaction come up later that I still call it and answer fromGod as a reward to her for honoring her father in love.
As Dana was getting ready for her first return to Church, she again came into my office and wanted toknow if the charge had ever made it to the card, still insisting she repay. I said: "Let's take a look". Wewent back to the card's website only to find that he dollar charge had disappeared completely, and toadd to it, the tank of gas I bought 50 miles away by the Ford dealership north of LA was not on it either.The act of driving all the way to Galpin Motors was my act of spiritual obedience and honor of theHeavenly Father. My daughter's conceding to my request to clean up her truck was her act ofobedience and honor of her father. The reward for each of us was a free tank of gas from two differentgas brands, 50 miles apart. Most significant is the way the Lord brought the reality of the free gas to myattention.
Being a Christian, I've made my decision. That decision offers no compromise; therefore, I'm closed to anything else.
Here's a general statement I'll make to define why what I've written need not be defended rationally. This rational world and universe is but a sandbox in which man's brightest intellects play, I can both admire all that man has been able to achieve within that sandbox and still understand that the creator of that sandbox isn't limited by it, even if we are. The supernatural is simply that, supernatural. It is meant by its very nature to be irrational to those who limit themselves to the sandbox.In a way, God is granting to unbelieving man plausable deniability, because he doesn't feel any obligation to reduce his supernatural ability to sandbox terms. He does however reward a few who believe in him with a peek outside the sandbox from time to time. You have to admit, that if what I'm saying is true, it would explain why only a few are aware of it. I have been privaleged to see outside the sandbox, but only a peek. I'm not certain that I want to see any more than I have, because a little goes a long way. I'll not work myself up defending the supernatural, only to report it. Flame at it if you must, but forgive me if I'm not invested in defending it by sandbox terms. It can't be done.Thanks again for reading.
Mooby why is it you think ALL cults and such need a religious base?
Have you ever wondered why the Catholic church holds onto all those treasures they have plundered over the centuries? It is not so they can follow the message of Christs and tend to the poor.
"I'm doing science and I'm still alive."--J.C.
3SigmaYou repeatedly ask theists to distinguish between their claims and imagination.So what distinguishes (your) physical reality (experience) from imagination or from a dream ? What proof do you have that the physical world is not imagination or a dream ?
You are in the same boat as a theist if you try to answer this.
My response: There is no reason why a dream could not be logically consistent
- and if you look at human behaviour there are plenty of examples of logical inconsistency (ie waking inconsistency).
The concept of physical 'evidence' ASSUMES that you are not dreaming. I don't think that you have grasped that important point yet.
You can only search for physical evidence if you are not dreaming.
Physical evidence cannot address the question of whether or not you are dreaming.
I would like to draw attention to the way the theists are arguing here. They are not attempting to validate the existence of their gods.
I'd like to offer you a challenge,I bet you can't edit your remarks in such a way as to eliminate invectives , insults, and profanity.
You need me to be a coward do you? Is that kind of abuse necessary for you to defend your position?
I'll leave my story as it stands, if you wish not to believe it then I actually respect that. You weren't there, and I was. I've written my account and I stand by it.
Neither of Wayne's stories are convincing evidence of anything, except possibly his ability to discern patterns which don't have any meaning (which, in fairness, is shared by a lot of people). The coincidence of him going to a Batman movie and having a gas leak keep him from attending, followed by his reference to a tragedy 23 years later at a different Batman movie (which led to a tragedy), is a classic example of confirmation bias. He didn't want to take his daughter to the movie, which is understandable, so when a gas leak happened that forced the theater to be evacuated he saw that as the hand of God in action. And it somehow caused him to predict the later tragedy at a different theater, two decades later. The problem is that there's no reasonable way to tie the two together except that they both involved Batman movies (and not even the same actual movie) being shown in a movie theater.How many movie theaters have had gas leaks that required an evacuation of the theater (or caused a fire and possibly deaths) during those 23 years? How many thousands of Batman movies were shown in theaters without incident during that time? I highly doubt he has even considered either of these points; instead, he saw the coincidence of them both involving Batman movies shown in theaters and jumped to the conclusion that the one was a prediction of the other. As many people do, he only notices the congruence of the two events, and ignores all the other non-events that he didn't give so much as a thought to.
...what IS Wayne saying about the original gas attack?
For anyone who didn't actually read Wayne's linked stories, his original '89 Batman theater incident was not an attack, just a gas leak in the building. Although if it was truly caused by god, as Wayne believes, then I suppose god could be seen as an attacker.
What if, one day, there is a gas leak in a church hall? Should we take that as a warning that whatever goes on in that church is an offence to god? Wayne would probably agree.....so long as the church hall was a different denomination, of course.
[The fact that it was a gas leak, rather than an attack, also surely makes it much, much, less likely that anyone would be able to identify it as a "warning from god" and take appropriate action. Leaks happen (unless Wayne is implying that ALL gas leaks are directly caused by god?), so what makes THAT one a warning, and not the one that happened a week later in the shopping mall?
I think in time you will realise that though I might be interpreting everything through Christianity, I also test my conclusions through my imaginary atheist friend......
If you enjoyed my last two stories, maybe you would like to read another from the 70s.http://tinyurl.com/MercuryMontclairBW Protection on the road, (someone wants me alive!)
I think you will take away from all this is that, because of the peculiar attention 'some' supernatural being has payed to me, atheism is not one of my options as it might be for you all.
If schools in predominantly Christian US are getting shot up because of the lack of official Christian prayers, then the schools in non-Christian Japan, China and India should be riddled with bullets on a regular basis. I wonder why parents in Japan aren't afraid of insane armed gunmen invading elementary schools and shooting their kids?
The free gas being stolen I had to run through that strainer and I rationalised it in that if Jesus can turn water to wine and multiply fishes at a picnic, he can certainly make Sams Club and Shell Oils books come out right. They were two full tanks of gas, not one dollars worth to clarify. The one dollar was a marker placed temporarly on my account for the purpose of the lesson for my daughter. The one dollar charge disappeared the next time we looked. I apologise for my preachy old typewitten tome from 1989. It is important to read it in its entirety to understand. If I were to write it today I wouldn't remove any of my conclusions but I would tighten it up.
The free gas being stolen I had to run through that strainer and I rationalised it in that if Jesus can turn water to wine and multiply fishes at a picnic, he can certainly make Sams Club and Shell Oils books come out right.
If it makes you feel better, you may consider me rather limited on that regard.

Put Dover in the rear view mirror this weekend and check out a few things that are worth the trip.
The weather may be dismal but that's no reason to stay home this weekend. Throw on your cutest cozy sweater and hit the road for a few destinations that are sure to be worth the trip.
WHAT Pre-Inaugural Activities
WHERE Washington, D.C.
WHEN 9:30 a.m., Saturday
COST Varies
INFO www.inaugural.senate.gov
Tomorrow, the nation's capital will kick off a week's worth of festivities to celebrate the inauguration of the country's 57th President, Barack Obama, who will take a second term.
Saturday marks a "National Day of Service" and the day is chock full of events at the National Mall. Speakers and guests include Delaware's own Beau Biden, Honorary Chair Chelsea Clinton, actress Eva Longoria, singer-songwriter Ben Folds, gospel singer Yolanda Adams, Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter and the Washington Children's Choir.
Nearly 100 service organizations will be on hand conducting service projects and training citizens to serve their communities throughout the year. Paint a portable mural, craft cards for foster children, fill backpacks with the Red Cross. The choices are endless.
But the day doesn't have to be all about service. There's a retrospective exhibit of political cartoons at Malmaison as well as exhibits all over town. Check out Roy Lichtenstein's "The Oval Office" at the National Gallery.
The capital city is also known for its food, and local chefs are going all out this weekend. Stop by Cashion's for the prix-fixe Barack Obama-themed three-course menu of tuna poke in a Bibb lettuce cup, dry-aged strip loin with creamed spinach and a crispy potato cake and a Hawaiian pineapple upside-down cake. Or, stop by some of the places Obama visited during his first term, like Ray's Hell-Burger or Fran's Chocolates, which specializes in savory-sweet treats.
Transportation throughout the weekend is expected to be hectic, at best. Be sure to consult guides to the Washington Metrorail and other public transportation options.
WHAT The Philadelphia Car Show
WHERE Pennsylvania Convention Center
WHEN Saturday, Jan. 19 through Sunday, Jan. 27
COST $6 to $12
INFO www.phillyautoshow.com
Dreaming of a new ride this year? Then, you'll want to check out the 2013 Philadelphia Auto Show this weekend. See 2014 models of everything imaginable, from Acura, Ford and Subaru to Jaguar and Porche.
It's not all about what's new, though. There's also some sweet rides from yesteryear. Imagine yourself in the Aston Martin DB9 Convertible or the Maserati Quattroporte. Guests will even be treated to the east coast debut of the McLaren 12C Spider at the manufacturer's exhibit.
New this year is the "Face-Off" event, which pits clubs against one another for the best kiosk display. Attendees will vote for their favorites and the winner will be announced on the auto show's Facebook page.
DUB magazine, an urban automotive lifestyle publication, has set aside 70,000 square feet at the event to showcase some of the hottest customized rides and celebrity vehicles today.
Michael Chapman, chairman for the event, said that this year is bigger and better than ever.
"The display floor of this year's event is a sprawling 630,000 square feet of everything automotive, which is up 30,000 square feet from last year. This increase makes our 2013 Philadelphia Auto Show our biggest yet. Picture 11 football fields filled with every kind of car or truck you can imagine, and that is our 2013 event."
If getting behind the wheel is more your speed, though, don't fret. There are several opportunities to grip the steering wheel and step on the gas. Toyota and Jeep will both offer indoor test drives while Cadillac, General Motors, Hyundai, Kia and Subaru will take things outside.
"We are thrilled by the increased interest from manufacturers to host ride-and-drive opportunities at our event," said Mike Gempp, director of the Philadelphia Auto Show. "Enhancements by the manufacturers, such as interactive ride-and-drive opportunities, are truly a testament to what auto shows are all about, which is putting consumers directly in touch with all of their vehicle options in one location. Some come to dream, others come with a notepad. In either case, it's an informative and enjoyable day for all."

A private jet undergoing maintenance by ground crews at an airport in Chino, Calif., slammed into a hangar on Thursday evening. The report of the crash, from local station KTLA.com, noted there were no severe injuries.
The Bombardier Challenger jet was undergoing an engine test with the engine revving at full power when the plane jumped the chalks (the rubber wedges that are supposed to keep its wheels from moving).
The plane, which had three mechanics on board, then smashed into the hangar, where several people were working inside. One of the mechanics injured his knee, according to KTLA.
The crash was reported just after 6 p.m. Local emergency crews responded to the scene.
Robin Dill, a retired pilot who witnessed the crash, told the station that one of the on-board workers should have put the plane in idle. "I can say, and I think most pilots would agree, that if the airplane was operating at idle engine speed, the aircraft would have stopped and it wouldn't have continued like it did."

Dr. Beat Richner
For many years, Astrodienst has supported Dr. Beat Richner's Kantha Bopha Children's Hospitals in Cambodia. Every year, we donate a considerable sum for this extraordinary and important project which goes to help the mothers and children, the weakest and most defenceless of Cambodian society. Dr. Beat Richner, pediatrician, founder and director of the children's hospitals, is also known in Switzerland by the nickname "Beatocello" because he regularly performs in charity concerts with his cello to help to fund his children's hospitals.
Last year, Astrodienst's president of board, Dr. Peter Isler, spent a private holiday in Cambodia. His journey to Angkor also lead him, more or less accidentally, to Beat Richner. Here his impressions.
Mother and child on the boat.
"My wife and I visit the temples of the lost city of Angkor in Cambodia. On our way to the art treasures, we pass Jayavarman VII - one of Beat Richner's hospitals. Should we get in touch and see what happens to the annual donations of Astrodienst? But then this well-known pediatrician, who has saved the lives of many thousands of children in Cambodia, has probably better things to do than have coffee with us.
The next day we decide to go on to a fishing village on the Tonle Sap lake instead of traveling to Angkor. Thus we rattle southward on our motorised rickshaw. On our arrival in the fishing village, a woman with a newborn in her arms approaches us and communicates to us by sign language that she needs money to buy medicine for her baby who is suffering from an eye disease. Giving money is always a tricky matter as you never know how it will be used.

While at the hospital I inquire about Beat Richner and whether it is possible to meet him. I am told I could make an appointment for Saturday after his public cello performance. I make an appointment and Beat Richner does indeed appear after the concert for a chat. He is interested in the fact that Astrodienst is a leading company in astrology and is pleased that we support his work. He spontaneously invites us to the opening ceremony of Kantha Bopha V hospital in Phnom Penh, which is also attended by the King and Prime Minister Hun Sen who has the real power in the country. We change our plans so that we can attend the reception.

The people in green are the personnel of the operating theatre.
The 24 Mio $ are raised as follows: the Cambodian government pays 2 Mio $, the Swiss government 2.5 Mio $. The rest is raised through private donations.
We are happy that we can support this important project with our regular donations. Peace on earth will grow as hardship and poverty are eased. We are pleased to be able to contribute and wish Dr. Beat Richner all the best for his untiring commitment to better living conditions."
Dr. Peter Isler, 10.12.2008

Company charging $83 for services Shoush says are available for nominal fees locally.
The Adair County Recorder's Office is alerting residents that letters from a company seeking money in exchange for copies of deeds and property profiles is neither from any government office or necessary.
Adair County Recorder Pat Shoush contacted the Daily Express Wednesday regarding letters received from county residents she feared some would feel require official action. The letter carries the words "deed processing notice" in large type and carries a charge of $83 in order to obtain copies of grant deeds and property profiles.
The letter is sent by an entity named Property Transfer Service, with a mailing address in Washington, DC. The letter contains lines stating the company is "not affiliated with the county in which your deed is filed in, nor affiliated with any government agencies," and that residents are "under no obligation to pay the amount stated, unless you accept this offer."
Still, Shoush felt it was necessary to clarify that the offer is not from Adair County and the services offered could be received for far less.
"If they needed copies of the info, all they need is to come to the courthouse," Shoush said, noting a "nominal" copy fee might be involved.
"I just want people to be aware of the fact they don't need that money for that," Shoush said.

Jason King of ESPN.com on Kansas coach
Bill Self and his team's toughness:
One thing on Bill Self's Christmas wish list is a player with a mean streak. Self's biggest issue with the Jayhawks is that they are too nice. Self is longing for a "bulldog" type of player who refuses to let his team lose, the kind of guy who gets so fired up that steam is practically coming out of his ears. A player with that kind of demeanor can be infectious to his teammates. Self saw it happen in the past with standouts such as Sherron Collins, Marcus Morris and Thomas Robinson. The one player on this season's squad who carries that type of persona is freshman forward Jamari Traylor, but he isn't logging enough minutes to make a difference. "I guarantee we lead the country in three-point plays [against us]," Self said. "We foul so soft."
Bruce Feldman of CBSSports.com on
Baylor's season:
Great job, Art Briles ... again. Baylor lost its franchise player, Robert Griffin III, and still led the nation in total offense, averaging 579 yards a game. At this point last year, with RG3, the Bears ranked No. 2, averaging 572 yards. On Saturday, they beat Oklahoma State 41-34, eclipsing the 600-yard mark for the sixth time. Oh, and anyone who had been ready to label former blue-chipper Lache Seastrunk as "a bust" better think again. The former Oregon RB had 178 yards on 16 carries and averaged 139 rushing yards in the Bears' final five games.
And here's Ivan Maisel of ESPN.com on
Baylor coach Art Briles getting a contract extension:
The other big winner in Arkansas's decision to hire Bret Bielema is Baylor, which signed its coach, Art Briles, to a new long-term contract. Briles, with his spread offense and Texas recruiting ties, became a logical option for the Razorbacks. He not only brought Robert Griffin III to the banks of the Brazos, he has led the Bears to three consecutive winning seasons for the first time in 61 years. That success has translated into a new stadium on campus. But would a new coach continue to succeed where so many have failed? Briles is a fit at Baylor, and the Bears are lucky to keep him.

Seasonal flu jabs … or seasonal or unseasonal flu?October 21, 2009 at 7:00 pm | Posted in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) | 4 Comments
Tags: flu, H1NI, swine flu
Today Mum and I had our seasonal flu jabs. Because hubby isn't entitled to one on the NHS he got one privately last Friday. 'You might get some mild flu-like symptoms two to three days after the jab,' he was told.
Last night (for anyone having trouble counting, that would be four days after the jab ) he started to cough and a slight sore throat. He went to work today, came back 'freezing cold' and shivering, had a bath and went to bed. I just took his temperature – 102.
Now the question is does that constitute mild flu-like symptoms, or are we talking flu, or swine flu or what? I don't know, but what I do know is that if Mum and I come down with similar 'mild flu-like symptoms' on Saturday she's not going to be best pleased … it's her birthday!

Hope he's feeling better soon and hope the birthday party is a great success!
I'm in an office with a boss who came in sick today. She's doing a pretty good job of staying away from everyone and I'm being extra-careful with my hand sanitizer and hand-washing, but I'm really looking forward to being able to get that vaccine!

The things people use for bookmarks! Besides the bookmarks themselves, which are sometimes so complex that once we take them out of the book we can't figure out how to use them again, we've found plane tickets, credit card receipts, recipes, pressed flowers, once a love note, prayer cards, sheets of stamps, four fifty dollar bills (the Book Fair budget wasn't very big that year, so we spent it on tape and Mylar bags), an insurance bill from 1973 with the check written to pay it, and a campaign ribbon for Abraham Lincoln and Hannibal Hamlin (pasted in, doggone it).
We found a schedule for the rerouting of subway trains for the coronation of George VI, a bookmark for the Scottish Widows' Fund, and a very thin silver necklace. (I'm not counting in this context the book safes we sometimes get in with treasures still hidden inside. That's another blog.)
People read on the bus, too, so we've had hundreds of bus transfers from the days when such things were long and decorative, sometimes with poems on the back or rules for customer conduct. We get plenty of Christmas cards and birthday cards, of course, and I am preserving the Alcoholics Anonymous book which contains a picture of a very over-served woman at a party. Was this her own reminder of why she was using the book?
And photos, lots of photos, though never yet anything worthy of being used in blackmail. (I used to watch all unmarked videocassettes, in case it was somebody's really private home movies. The most private material I ever ran across involved a young man crawling around a swimming pool, completely nude. Of course, as his mother's voice noted in the background, he was ten months old at the time. The only really pornographic videos came in with misleading labels on them, but that's another blog, too.)
Once we were given a collection of books from a family which had, for a century, spent not one thin dime on photo albums. All the family photos were stuck into books on the family bookshelves, apparently at random. Here was somebody's collie in 1952, here was somebody's company baseball team in 1908, here was a kid blowing out a birthday cake in 1967. I turned up twenty books in this collection, and approximately 600 photos stuck between the leaves.
They'd gotten a receipt, so I had their phone number. I called and asked about the collection.
"Oh, rats," said the woman who answered. "We thought we'd pulled all those. No, keep them. We have plenty."
Thought they'd pulled all those? If they had overlooked 600, how many did they start with?
Maybe the answer is these old empty scrapbooks I sometimes get. I can fill them with this stuff at random, make up captions, and sell them on eBay. Scrapbooking as an abstract art form? Love it.

Hooper Hits for 11 in U.S. Win Over Brazil
Kazan, Russia - Nebraska's Jordan Hooper scored 11 points and pulled down four rebounds to help power the USA Basketball Women's World University Games Team to a 105-75 victory over Brazil on Wednesday.
Hooper, a 6-2 senior forward from Alliance, Neb., hit 5-of-11 shots from the field, including a three-pointer in just 13 minutes of action. It was Hooper's first career double-figure scoring performance in three international games. A two-time All-American and first-team All-Big Ten selection at Nebraska, Hooper has averaged 7.7 points and 6.3 rebounds in 14 minutes per game while helping the U.S. team complete Pool B play with a perfect 3-0 record.
The United States will enjoy an off day after playing three games in three days, before entering Friday's 1:30 a.m. (CT) quarterfinals as the tournament's top seed. Team USA will play the loser of today's game between the hosts from Russia (2-0) or Sweden (2-0).
Aaryn Ellenberg (Oklahoma) led the the U.S. squad by scoring all 19 of her game-high points in the first half, while tying the USA Basketball World University Games record with five three-pointers. Odyssey Sims (Baylor) tied another USA World University Games record with a game-high 10 assists.
The USA opened the game on a 10-0 run and carried a 36-16 lead at the end of the first quarter. Ellenberg poured in 14 points in the game's first 5:30 to get the U.S. team off to a strong start.
Hooper took over in the second quarter, knocking down her second three-pointer of the World University Games with 7:21 left in the half to put the USA up 45-18. She added four more points, before Ellenberg gave the United States a 31-point lead at 56-25 with 2:39 left in the half.
Hooper added a basket with 1:47 left in the third quarter before capping her scoring for the game with the USA's first bucket of the fourth quarter to give the U.S. squad an 84-51 edge with 9:48 left. The U.S. lead grew as large as 37 points on several occasions before settling for a 30-point victory.
Crystal Bradford (Central Michigan) added 12 points, while Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis (UConn) contributed 11 points. Reshanda Gray (Cal) gave the United States five players in double figures with 10 points.
The USA shot 48.8 percent from the field (41-84 FGs) with 24 of the field goals being assisted. The U.S. squad hit 8-of-29 three-pointers. Brazil shot 46.9 percent from the field (30-64 FGs), but turned the ball over 23 times which led to 36 U.S. points coming off turnovers. Mosqueda-Lewis and Sims each had three steals to lead the USA. The U.S. team outrebounded Brazil, 48-33, led by seven boards from Theresa Plaisance (LSU) and six from Mosqueda-Lewis. Hooper, Bradford, Bria Hartley (UConn) and Cassie Harberts (USC) each added four boards.
In other action, Czech Republic (2-1) defeated Mali (0-3) 59-44 to finish No. 2 in Group B and advance to the quarterfinals. Brazil and Mali finished third and fourth, respectively, in the group.
The remaining quarterfinal teams will be decided following the rest of today's contests, including China (0-2) - Hungary (1-1) and Japan (0-2) - Ukraine (1-1). Poland (0-2) - Mongolia (0-2), Taiwan (2-0) - Canada (1-1) and Australia (2-0) - Finland (1-1). The semifinals will be played on July 13, and the finals will be contested on July 15.
The USA is looking for its third straight gold medal at the World University Games women's basketball competition, and ninth overall.

LA PLATA, Mo. – For a team that is trying to become known as a defensive team, the La Plata Lady Bulldogs used a series of short offensive runs along with tight defense against the Green City Lady Gophers.
The Lady Bulldogs won third place in their own tournament, 47-31.
It was a game of runs as LP jumped out early and GC made a 7-0 run to start the second to bring the Lady Gophers within 17-13. La Plata head coach Steve Lightle called a timeout and re-grouped his girls, who came out and went on an 8-0 run to close out the half. LP would never let the Lady Gophers get closer than the nine points they trailed by at half, 25-16.
"This was a great win. Any time you pick up two wins in a tournament you're going to pick up a trophy. When we played Cairo they did such a good job defending us in the full court, and I think we learned from that and were able to take better care of the ball tonight," said Lightle.
La Plata came out and put the Gophers away in the second half as they only let GC score 16 points in the final 16 minutes. On Thursday night against Schuyler County, Emily Sorenson scored 22 by herself for Green City.
"We came out and played like we were stunned. I have no explanation for it. I really thought they would come out and play hard and it was the exact opposite of what I was expecting," said Green City head coach Wade Sorenson.
With the Lady Gophers hanging around heading into the fourth quarter, the La Plata defense tightened even more as they only allowed GC to score two points in the first five minutes. La Plata ran out 6-0 to build their 12-point lead to 18 with three minutes to play.
"We are trying to make a name for ourselves with our defense, usually it's with our man-to-man, but in the second half it was exclusively with our zone defense. We tried to pack it in and make them beat us from the outside," said Lightle.
The Bulldogs offense was led by Samantha Jett as she scored 14 for the game. MaKay Belt also scored 14 points and she was the offensive leader for LP in the second half.
"I was pretty happy for our team. I just tried to pick up my team to help us get going," said Jett.
Hannah Larson chipped in with 11 to help out the LP offense.
After having two players score at least 20 points in their last game, GC only had one player score more than six. That was Sorenson, who scored 17 and grabbed 10 boards.
Green City and La Plata will meet again on Friday with the possibility of the Tri-County Conference on the line.
But before then the Lady Gophers will play Linn County on Tuesday. The Lady Bulldogs will play Bevier on Tuesday and Scotland County on Thursday.

It tames your hair if it's super frizzy. My friend who has super frizzy/curly hair recently got it done and now she is left with soft waves. It's usually pretty expensive. She was told it lasts 2-3 months.

Original singer-songwriters from Virginia, Nashville and Indiana will be coming to Cedar Key the weekend of Jan. 13-15 to help two local non-profit groups.
Join in the fun as these award-winning musicians share their musical talents for a good cause.
The fun begins on Friday, Jan. 13, at 7 p.m. at the Community Center with Honey Dewdrops, Laura Wortman and Kagey Parris, from the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains in Charlottesville, VA. Writing and singing in the veins of folk and old country music, the Dewdrops entwine harmony singing with tight instrumentation and craft songs that are simple and fine-tuned. The Dewdrops won first place in the 2008 talent show broadcast of NPR's "A Prairie Home Companion" and have since produced two acclaimed albums, "If the Sun Will Shine" (2009) and "These Old Roots" (2010) both of which have charted at the No. 1 and No. 2 positions on the Folk DJ-L Charts for 2010.
Admission is free. Coffee and dessert follows the one hour concert. Donations benefit the Friends of the Library. For more information contact Nita Cox (543-0123).
Then, on Sunday, Jan. 15, the Second Annual Acoustical Afternoon for the Arts will feature the Bishop-Davidson duo from Nashville, TN and welcomes back nationally recognized singer-songwriter Joe Peters of West Lafayette, IN, this time with his long-term singing partner, Linda Hicks.
The newly-formed Bishop-Davidson duo combines MJ's Americana music, laced with the sweet, familiar melodies of folk together with WT's 35 years of musical experience in Nashville influenced by traditional jazz, soulful country, Motown and even the Beatles. Linda and Joe have preformed as a duo for over 10 years and have released numerous CDs, most recently "A Thousand Ways" and "Over the Edge."
During the concert, award-winning local artist, Susan Dauphinee will be painting a piece that will be part of the silent art auction which also includes donated artwork from Jean Yao (Best of Show 2011), Alexis Barbeau (jewelry), Virginia Chen, Bill Roberts, Valerie Bretl and Henry and Amy Gernhardt.
Doors will open at the Island Room (Cedar Cove) at 2:30 p.m. Concert begins at 3 p.m. with each duo playing for about an hour. Appetizers will be served along with a cash bar. Tickets are available ($20/person) at the Chamber of Commerce or from any one of the Old Florida Festival of the Arts Committee Members (Bev Ringenberg, 543-0362; Allison Nelson, 543-9292; Chris Ford, 222-1498; Kathy Fotteral, 543-0447; or Kathy Carver, 543-5949). For additional information contact Mandy Cassiano at 543-5400, firstname.lastname@example.com. It is recommended that you buy your tickets early as the event was sold out last year. Proceeds from this event supports the 48th Annual Spring Fine Arts Festival in Cedar Key (Old Florida Celebration of the Arts).

A Rhode Island news report says 38 Studios is in financial distress, and the developer founded by former major league pitcher Curt Schilling is in discussions with the state on how to stay afloat. "We're always working to keep Rhode Island companies solvent, and that's what we're doing with 38 Studios," said Rhode Island Governor Lincoln Chafee. "We're working with 38 Studios on different issues. That's all I can report right now." 38 Studios moved to Rhode Island in September after securing $75 million in loan guarantees from the state. Their first game, Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning, was released in February, but the story cites NPD data saying the game has sold only around 410K copies across three platforms.

BOULDER, Colo. - The latest member of the Boulder County district attorney's staff may not have a law degree, but prosecutors are confident he will be able to lend a helping hand at the courthouse.
So to speak.
Amigo, a 16-month-old golden retriever, will move to Boulder from Indiana later this month to start training to become a courthouse dog at the Boulder County Justice Center.
"It's been a really positive and exciting time within the office," said DA Stan Garnett, who will pay for Amigo's travel expenses out of his own pocket.

WASHINGTON — Dorothy Goldstein had just visited her late husband at the cemetery. Now she and her son were hungry for a nice lunch. So, on a beautiful autumn afternoon, they headed for a gas station.
At the Exxon station in downtown Olney, Md., they stepped up to the counter of Corned Beef King, where they'd dined before. To their left: a beef jerky display. To their right: keno on TV. All around them: the delish aroma of a New York deli.
Goldstein, a retiree in Dolce & Gabbana glasses, ordered pastrami. Her son got the Angry Turkey Racheal. They ate at a high-table with an exquisite view of the gas pumps.
"It's a big, juicy, delicious sandwich," Goldstein said after finishing the first half and pondering the second. "I need a toothpick."
Gas stations have not historically inspired confidence as palate pleasers. Day-old (or longer) doughnuts or hot dogs rolling (and rolling) on a spinner grill come to mind.
But there is a long history between the road and food. Truck stops. Rest stops. Drive-ins. Stuckey's has sold gazillions of pecan log rolls to travelers. A fellow named Colonel Sanders got his start selling fried chicken at his service station in Corbin, Ky. Things turned out well for him.
Today, there are hundreds, perhaps thousands, of gas stations across the country serving a variety of food not sold in a vacuum-sealed bag, from Sheetz's fresh sandwiches to ribs at Oklahoma Joe's in Kansas City, Kan., to pork belly sandwiches, highlighted not long ago by Gourmet magazine, at a North Carolina filling station.
Al Hebert, a medical journalist who blogs at GasStationGourmet.com about his eating adventures, once ate Cornish hen prepared by a classically trained chef in a Chevron station.
"The average person just fills up their tank, pays with a credit card and drives off," Hebert said. "But if you just walk a few feet from the pump to the store, you might discover one of the best eating experiences of your life."
Gas station cuisine is partly being driven by popular food truck operators — Corned Beef King started as a truck in 2011 — seeking permanent locations for the evolution of their brands and to meet strict regulatory requirements to have a licensed base of operations. Other eateries are looking to gas stations for low start-up costs, guaranteed foot traffic and a little bit of kitsch.
The chefs and dreamers have found willing partners in gas station owners. Some have volunteered to cover the cost of building kitchens to tap new sources of revenue — from rent and increased foot traffic — as the margins on gas sales shrink even further and retailers such as Best Buy encroach on their quick-bite turf by stocking soda and snacks at the register.
Across Maryland, Northern Virginia and Washington, at least a dozen eateries serve delectable, sometimes organic, fare near the pump. There's Korean bibimbap in Wheaton, Md., authentic Mexican in Jessup, Md., Thai in Leesburg, Va., and Latin American in the District of Columbia. Corned Beef King cooks its meat for 11 hours.
Jeff Lenard, vice president for strategic initiatives at the National Association of Convenience Stores, is planning to highlight the Washington region's flourishing gas station food scene at his group's annual trade show next month. He's seeking to inspire a wave of innovation at the nation's 149,000 gas stations and convenience stores, which generate 160 million transactions a day — plenty of opportunity to sling chorizo tacos.
Lenard quotes Chevy Chase in the 1983 movie "Vacation" as a sign of the changing times. The actor delivered this memorable line: "I'm so hungry I could eat a sandwich from a gas station."
"That was very funny back then," Lenard said, "but I'm not sure how many people would be in on the joke now. We think food is the future of gas stations. People now know they can get a great meal from a truck, and it has expanded the horizons where people no longer expect a good meal can only be found at a place with a tablecloth."
Goldstein ate her pastrami on rye while the loud, spiky-haired sandwich king — his name is Jon Rossler and he looks like Guy Fieri from the Food Network show "Diners, Drive-ins and Dives" — operated his food truck in Rockville, Md. Rossler started the truck after a falling-out with his father at their Falls Church, Va. deli business. The corned beef is a family recipe. The gas station owner stripped out the service garage to make room for the restaurant.
"I like it here," Goldstein said, packing up her leftovers. "It's clean — a lot cleaner than other delis. I'm a widow. I wouldn't go on a date here, but it's nice."
In the Washington area, the discoveries are often quintessentially ethnic, no doubt owing to the region's booming immigrant population, especially outside the Capital Beltway.
J.P. and Anna Goree opened Seoul Food DC, an offshoot of their popular food truck, in June, serving bibimbap bowls and other Korean specialties at an Exxon station in Wheaton, Md. J.P. grew up in Wisconsin; Anna grew up in Korea. They met working at Whole Foods, where he was a meat cutter and she was pastry chef. They were approached by the station's owner, Hank Kim, who went to the same college as Anna.
Most gas stations see about 1,100 customers a day, according to the National Association of Convenience Stores. The largest revenue driver is gas, accounting for 72 percent of cash flow but only 35 percent of profit. Gas station owners need to squeeze more money from their space to thrive, and foodies are an untapped well of income and appetites.
"I need more traffic in the store to sell more things," Kim said. "They bring more traffic to me, and I bring more traffic to them."
The Gorees invested thousands of dollars in the restaurant, instead of the hundreds of thousands it would have taken for a standalone place. They have no debt. The tables and chairs are from Ikea. They buy local food. The flowers on the tables are from the farmer's market. A Yelp reviewer wrote, "Atmosphere is actually quite nice for a gas station."
Marla Bilonick, who works with small businesses at the Latino Economic Development Center, dropped by for lunch the other day — her first time eating in a gas station.
"It definitely adds a certain amount of intrigue," she said, halfway through her bibimbap bowl with beef. "But it's insanely delicious." Putting on her small-business hat, Bilonick said, "When you work with limited resources, sometimes it comes out better than when you have unlimited resources."
But most gas station chefs are dreaming bigger, hoping to use the quirky locations to build their brands for franchising inside other gas stations or opening a flagship restaurant, sans gas pumps.
"I literally see these things in gas stations all over the country," said David Trachtenberg, the proprietor of Greatest American Hot Dogs, which started with a food truck roaming Montgomery County, Md. offering dozens of different hot dogs.
The grind of loading and unloading and finding new locations wore Trachtenberg out, so he parked it permanently at a BP station in the area. He hopes to move inside soon and then open dozens of other locations, perhaps becoming the hot-dog equivalent of the Five Guys hamburger chain, which started in Arlington, Va. and grew across the Washington area before embarking on a nationwide expansion.
One popular gas station eatery in Howard County, Md. is already expanding out of its original home at a Shell station: R&R Taqueria. Its owner, Rodrigo Albarran, a commercial pilot, opened the restaurant in Elkridge in 2009 after he was furloughed. He grew up helping cook with his father and translating for him in jobs at TGI Fridays and Outback Steakhouse. In The Washington Post's 2011 Fall Dining Guide, food critic Tom Sietsema called R&R's tacos "every bit as swell as those in Mexico City, the owner's birthplace." The restaurant has been featured on "Diners, Drive-ins and Dives."
Albarran opened another outpost in White Marsh, Md. at a mall food court in 2011, and in April, he moved into a full sit-down restaurant northeast of Baltimore in Perry Hall, serving the same menu as the gas station. His focus all along, he said, has always been on his food, not where he's serving it.
"In Mexico City, we used to go out and stand on a corner with dogs all around and eat the most delicious meals," he said. "It's not the location; it's the food. If you serve good food, people will find you no matter where you are."

- An ISBN is the 10 or 13 digit number, usually printed on the back of a book with a bar code, that serves as a unique identifier for the book.
- Searching by ISBN is the best way to search because it will get you the exact title and edition that you need.
- Many professors include the ISBN on their syllabi or in their course management system.
If you don't have the ISBN, try a title or author search.
Title search
- Enter all words in the title you are looking for. The search engine will try to find books that have all the words you entered in the title. Leave out words such as "a," "an," or "the."
- When including edition, use numeric values. For example, "1st edition" instead of "first edition."
Author search
- Enter all or part of the author name you are looking for.
- You do not need to enter a first name, but if there are a lot of books by authors with the same last name, it may help to narrow the results.
- You can enter the name in any order such as "John Smith" or "Smith John." Avoid using a comma since it has a special meaning in the search.
Keyword search
- You can search by keyword but this approach is not recommended as it will likely return a large set of results.
- If you want to search by keyword, try a combination of author and keyword. For example, "Warren Accounting" where "Warren" is the author and "Accounting" is the keyword.
To refine your results, use the filtering/sorting options
- Filter options include product type and discipline area. Sort options include alphabetical sort (ascending or descending) and copyright year (ascending or descending).

You could do what most folks did in the day, buy a newer car that had a clutch that really releases. A dragging Model T clutch is the nature of the beast.
try 5w-30 oil, it acts like 5w in winter temps, but when warm acts like 30w
also a kerosene lamp under the flywheel, will help keep the engine warm. could be a firehazard though, but it was often done back in the day, and similar things are done today.
Free neutral adjustment. Keep it simple.
Drain the oil and heat it on the stove and put it in warm.
draining the oil wont drain the oil in the clutch though,
What weight oil is in the car ?
I park mine with the lever forward, i.e., in High Gear. That keeps the oil squeezed out from in between the clutch discs. I also use 5W-30. I park indoors in an insulated shop, but it is not heated unless I'm out there working. And....our weather is probably not as cool as yours, but....I have no problem hand cranking either of ours even in the Winter. Well, except when I forget to leave the lever forward. It REALLY makes a difference. If I forget and leave it in Neutral when I park it, it takes several pulls to get it loosened up enough to crank.
There are those who say that if you have your Ford clutch properly adjusted, you won't be having that problem. But most folks aren't that adept at adjusting the original clutch and have the problem you are experiencing. Or, you could install a Watts clutch, which many of us here think is wonderful (not Royce though). You'll get a true free neutral, and smooth clutch engagement. I have driven T's for many thousands of miles with the Watts clutch and wouldn't have any other type in my car. R. V. Anderson is the current source for them.
Cold in North Carolina? Very funny!
Mikes right. A clutch adjustment or update to Watts or Jack Rabbit will do the trick.
We're supposed to have -22F on Monday. I've got half a mind to leave my '14 outside overnight and have my boy videotape an actual cold-start demonstration.
Eric - Please do it. My '14 is put away for the winter, but we would really like to know if it would start by hand cranking in really cold weather.
Thanks, Keith
This is something that is rarely (or never) mentioned.
If your transmission is worn out, you may never get a free enough cold neutral to start the car without jacking up one wheel, even if you have made all the correct adjustments.
Warped plates, jagged lugs, worn shaft, worn bushings, etc. are contributing factors.
Either update the clutch as others have mentioned, or at higher expense,install an auxillary trans or KC Warford to provide a positive neutral.
My dad told me his grandfather in Okieland, used to drain the water from the radiator, fill all his grandmothers pots and kettles with it and get them all to boiling. Then pour it all back into the radiator...hand crank it a few times, start it, then move to start it. I don't know if that works, but it apparently worked for him.
If your Ford clutch is adjusted properly and not shot it is the best clutch you can get. Installing an inferior aftermarket clutch won't change the amount of difficulty hand cranking the engine at all.
If you use a 0W-30 oil the car should hand crank easily Eric. My grandmother used to hand crank the '15 touring every morning to take my dad and his brother and sisters to school every day in Eagle Bend, Mn. If she could do it I bet you can too.
Having recently acquired '15 Touring I now am also in the "learning curve" on hand cranking a T. Even tho she sits in a well insulated, unheated garage she starts a lot easier if I just position one of those cheap shop lights with the big silver globe right over the manifold area overnight, and usually it'll start on the first crank, if not even on compression. I've tried it without the light, and it took three or four cranks to get her to go, if I can run around fast enough to catch the spark lever in time! Now to find out how to adjust the clutch that everyone's talking about.
I am somewhat surprised that no one has suggested a magnetic oil pan heater.
Quick to put on or take off and heating the oil is at least as effective (or more so)
than heating the coolant. Can be set up with a timer for whatever length of time
that you find works best. You won�t need it on all night. An hour or two depending
on the temperature.
Seems like a no brainer on a vehicle were the engine and transmission oil is common.
I permanently strapped one to the back of the oil pan sump on my 460 cu in Ford
and the starter would spin the engine in -30� F weather instead of just groaning to a stop.
Has anyone tried one on a T ?
I was told that the problem is the discs in service get lapped together like Johannsen guages, so they wring together and won't let go of each other. When you're doing a trans overhaul, if you scuff up the plates and give them a light hammering to distort them a bit, it all works fine. Well, it worked for me.
The clutch disks need to be flat and smooth. If they were scuffed, distorted and hammered as you say, and I found them when disassembling an engine, I would throw them away.
Been 28 to 35 for about a week or more here in Portland OR. I went out to start the T tonight, forgot I had put 30W in it!
Hal Davis mentioned parking the car with the clutch lever forward. I finally got the chance to try that trick, and it works great. Normally at near freezing temperatures I can barely crank the car (I have 30 weight oil in it) but after leaving the lever forward, it cranks very easily and started with out having to jack up the rear wheel. The temperature is 34� today and it was as easy to pull the crank as when the temperature is above 60�.
This forum is the greatest, I have only been playing with Ts for the past year, and with the help of all those here, I have been able to learn things that would have taken years before the webernet made it possible to get answers so quickly.
Just put a chock in front of the wheel so that it won't run you over when it starts and you don't need to jack up the rear. After the engine warms up, it doesn't need the chock.
Note: The above works down to 20 degrees. I have no experience with below zero weather being that I live in California. It does get a bit colder here in the mountains than at sea level, but rarely gets below freezing.
Hey Norman,
Just putting a chock in front of the front wheel will do nothing to make it easier to crank the engine, it is the stiffness in the transmission that drags on the engine, making it harder to turn and harder for the engine to run when first starting. If you have a well adjusted parking brake, that should work better than a chock. I do know from recent experience, leaving the clutch lever forward until time to start makes a humongous difference in how hard it is to crank the engine.
I do the wheel chaulk thing myself.
Putting a cock in front of the wheel will do nothing to help start the car, there must be something else you do.
Chock, not that other thing Spell check only catches them if they are spelled wrong, not the wrong word.
Despite what Royce posts the best free neutral in a T is with a Watts clutch. I bet if we could get the lurkers that don't want to be beat up on the forum and guys that don't post often but really drive their cars you would find that about 10 to 1 are on board with Watts. 3 of my 4 running T's have Watts clutches in them and the next time the engine comes out of the 4th it will have a Watts clutch in it. They are simply superior to the original Ford clutch.
Lets not pull punches. It isn't that you or the rest of the T community can't adjust the original clutch right. It's that the original clutch is inferior to a Watts clutch. I am tired of the forum bully that has no experience with a Watts clutch spewing falsehoods about it.
I was going to stay out of this one but I find that jacking up a rear wheel when it is cold is part of the fun of owning a T.
When I park the car in the garage I put the brake handle forward to squeeze the oil out of the clutch.
When comes time to start it I jack up a rear wheel, pull the brake handle part way back, open the throttle about half way, pull out the choke and give it few good tugs, advance the spark a little, and turn the switch to the battery.
I get a free start about 50% of the time.
The wheel spins so I then pull the brake all the way back as it warms up. The motor usually slows down a bit so I know there is a lot of drag due to the oil viscosity - OH ya I use 10-30 OIL sometimes 5-30 in the cold months
I also jack in the summer when I start it for the first time because I like free starts!
The best free neutral you can get in a T is with some form of an auxiliary transmission! (KC Warfords are so sweet) I do not have any experience with a Turbo or Jack Rabbit clutch and while I do have some reservation about them I have never used them have no ability to report on their reliability, performance, or longevity, unlike the forum bully who has never used any of them. I can report that I have used Watts clutches since they were introduced with superior results to original Ford clutches.
I have used the Turbo clutches and can report that they offer no improvement over the factory Ford clutch when both are adjusted properly and in good condition. The turbo, watts and jacked up clutches do regularly fail in service if not adjusted properly, or through the actions of an inexperienced driver. Thus the Ford clutch is superior in that it can take an incredible amount of abuse, yet survive and still operate properly. The neutral characteristics of any of these types is identical. All offer a perfectly free neutral. The Ford clutch is simply more reliable.
Perhaps I am the "Forum Bully"? If you mean that I am someone who cares deeply about the Model T and its history, and dislikes horse manure, then yes I am that guy. Somebody needs to speak up when the original design of the Model T is said to be deficient, when in fact it is not. You will find that I will address these things politely, and with all due respect to the person making the mis - statement.
I just love being called a "Forum Bully"!!!!
The chock will act as a safety precaution in case the brake is not on all the way. If you park with the brake forward get inside the car to pull on the brake before cranking. It is hard to pull it back all the way from outside the car especially with no door on the driver's side. If you don't pull on all the way it is still in "neutral" and if there is any drag it can run you over or pin you against anything in front of the car. The chock will not make it any easier to start, but is a safety precaution.
What's the big deal with jacking up a wheel for easier winter starts. I use a winter storage jack with a long handle and it just takes a second to get the wheel up. Just be sure to have a decent wheel chock on a front wheel. I can start my car without jacking up a wheel but it's a lot less strain on an old mans back with a rear wheel in the air. I even do it in Florida where I spend most of the winter these days because I prefer a heavier oil for less leaks!
I have been jacking the rear wheel up since it got cold, it is not fun to crawl under when it is muddy to do this, but otherwise, I agree it is part of the T experience. I have been parking with the clutch lever forward for the past three days, and I am sold on doing it that way, you can still jack the wheel up if you want to, but I have found that it is not necessary using this method.
I have to admit, I would prefer to not have to jack up a rear wheel before every cold start. Call me lazy, I guess. However, I can really appreciate those that don't mind and call it part of the experience. I have long said you should not just DRIVE a Model T. You should EXPERIENCE it. That is why I feel the way I do about lots of the 'upgrades' I see others doing. One day, when I'm too old and decrepid to do otherwise, I may have to install a starter on a pre-1919 car. And I'll admit to considering the installation of some sort of auxilliary brakes on a T so I would feel more comfortable about taking one to the mountains. But that is really about all I can think of. The rest, I view as part of the experience, not a hinderance. BTW, I would jack up a wheel, if I had to, before I would install an aftermarket clutch. I just don't have to.
You can get a high lift quick acting roll around jack really cheap. Years ago when I still had a good back I always did the morning start on the '15 with a TT jack, sort of a ritual, on a just because it took less that 2 quarter turns that way with the wheel engaged no matter what the conditions. Once warm, always 1/4 turn of the stem if I remember to set things right.
Then one Christmas the missus bought me one of the high-lift-quick lift long pump handle things. Today my spine is wracked with arthritis more severe than my doc has ever seen and it's a god-send on the '15 Runabout because I really want to keep the '15 and it has never been molested even though at times I've been tempted to dump in that spare '23 engine I have.
I STILL use it on the Hack and Fordor and the Coupe all with electric start because while I've never had creep on any...chock the front wheels, 3 or 4 pumps on the handle, lever forward and 'go'. Less than a minute on 'first' start after sitting. Some may argue that the 'flywheel effect' is too small to matter...my own experience is different because grinding on a starter continuous is NOT the best thing to do with 90 year old starters and while one is new and quite sweet, consistency just prevails in what I do.

Few words in the English language set off alarm bells like the word "audit." The good news is there are ways to reduce the likelihood the Internal Revenue Service will tag you for an audit. Nevertheless, if a letter from the IRS does appear in your mailbox, don't panic.
Statistically, the IRS only audits about one percent of taxpayers with incomes under $200,000, according to the tax experts at the Oklahoma Society of Certified Public Accountants. There are red flags that can raise the likelihood you'll be audited, however.
Here is another helpful tip to protect yourself against an audit:
Be aware of other red flags. Cash businesses draw scrutiny, especially if the return also includes an Earned Income tax Credit or self-employed people claiming meals or travel and entertainment expenses on their Schedule C. Deductions for hobby-related activities on a Schedule C may also raise suspicion.

It seems Batman: Arkham City will not use Games for Windows LIVE, after all, as GreenManGaming tweets: "We've just received notice from Warner's that Batman is Games for Windows but NOT a Games for Windows 'Live' title!" The box art for the stealth/action sequel was revealed in June showing the GFWL logo, suggesting the game would use Microsoft's service, like Batman: Arkham Asylum did. Thanks Eurogamer.

The planned Downtown Sports Complex at the empty Ingersoll factory on the east riverbank is progressing, although the total price to remodel the building into volleyball and basketball courts is now $20 million to $21 million because of required improvements like raising the floor level to comply with federal floodway requirements.
The money is coming from a variety of governments, including the city of Rockford, state grants, the Rockford Park District and receipts from a 2 percent increase to the hotel tax.
The downtown sports complex is part of a two-pronged plan called Reclaiming First, to restore Rockford and Loves Park to the top tier of amateur sports destinations. The second part (or first part if you're in Loves Park) is an expansion of the Sportscore II on East Riverside near I-90, costing between $27 million and $29 million. That will include not only more playing fields outdoors, but a new building with three indoor soccer fields.
Funding is to come from Winnebago County, Loves Park, Cherry Valley, Machesney Park, the hotel tax, the Rockford Park District, grants, donations and naming rights.
Everyone seems to believe that this is a good use of taxpayer money, and as a newspaper we've been supportive.
My problem is traffic access for the Ingersoll property. It's one of those places that you can see but can't easily get to without twisting and turning, going past to go forward, crossing the river twice, looping around and then asking directions from a vagrant.
The reason is, the street of four names, Chestnut Street, Walnut Street, First Avenue and Longwood Street, is an eastbound one-way. You cannot get there easily from the east side, where the vast majority of Rockford-area people live. People coming off the tollway bound for Rockford mostly use the State Street exit, too. Convincing them they ought to take the bypass to South Main Street won't be easy, or successful.
Project developers seem to think that people will take kindly to driving down a congested East State Street, hanging a left on bumpy Madison Street and getting to the Ingersoll Building that way. Their plans include a parking lot that stretches from Madison Street down to the building, with a pedestrian tunnel under the Union Pacific tracks.
The parking plan is fine. And for the first time, the plan I saw Monday includes the welcome demise of the old School District 205 administration building instead of the old Rockford Watch Company building. The latter has historic significance — Rockford watches made there were famous all over the country, especially among railroad conductors, because they were extremely accurate. Some are still in use.
The other building is but one fragment of ugly old Rockford High School. It needs to be put out of its misery.
My suggestion is to make the new, downtown sports center as easy to get to as possible, by turning Chestnut/Walnut/First Avenue/Longwood Street into a two-way street as far as State Street. That way, westbound traffic on East State could turn left at Longwood and have an express route to the downtown Sports Center and the BMO Harris Bank Center.
I'm sure that as I write, bureaucrats are compiling their required list of "The 15 Reasons You Can't Do That In Rockford," to make sure nothing ever changes, but I still think it's a good idea for expediting traffic flow.

KHS took the court for the first time in a week and showed no signs of rust as they won big
KIRKSVILLE, Mo. – With just over six minutes left in the first quarter the Kirksville Lady Tigers led Boonville 7-2. McKenzie Russell would score five points in less than 30 seconds that put KHS up 12-2 and the Lady Tigers cruised from there winning 67-45.
Russell forced a Boonville timeout after she hit a three and then stole the ensuing inbounds pass and put it right back up for an easy layup.
"We forced a lot of turnovers when we got up and pressured them and that was big for us tonight," said Russell.
The Tigers won the game by forcing Lady Pirate turnovers and then getting out in transition.
"Anytime someone starts a freshman point guard it's going to be pretty tough when you have five seniors on the floor together. So we talked about she was going to get rattled easy. The biggest thing for us is we need to work on moving our feet the whole time, we do really good until we get the lead," said Kirksville head coach Sara Williams.
The Lady Tigers looked to Ashton Vorkink on defense against Boonville, like they do most nights.
"We came out strong because we hustled and were able to force a lot of turnovers that allowed us to get out on the fast break," said Vorkink.
Kirksville used the turnovers and fast break points to steadily build their lead. KHS led by nine after one, 18 at half, and by 22 going to the fourth. They did this all while holding Boonville to eight points in the second quarter and 11 in the third, after only giving up 10 in the opening quarter.
"We planned on playing hard defense. Our plan was to deny the ball and sag off the other players so that we could go for the steals, and we definitely did that tonight," said Vorkink.
A big key lately for Kirksville is that they have developed a balanced scoring attack not allowing teams to focus in on Russell or down low on Nichole Cook. That was true again Friday night as they had three players in double-digits led by Russell and her 18. Cook and Vorkink each scored 15, and while running the offense and dishing out assists Kendyl Blanke added seven.
The Lady Tigers are in the middle of an odd stretch of games having not played since Jan. 11 at Highland.
"It was a good game for us coming off a long break so it was good to get everyone some minutes," said Williams.
Now Kirksville won't play again until Jan. 28 when they travel to Boonville.
"I think we will work on pretty much everything, but focus in on guarding the post and free throws," said Vorkink.

Mr. Genea-Blogger, Thomas MacEntee posted this subject on the GeneaBlogger's Blog.
I do hope that you read his post.
Having gone to RootsTech 2012 earlier this month and having followed "Official Bloggers" for the past couple of years, I agree with the concept and how it has been executed. The Official Bloggers have and do lots of great work for the Genea-Blogging community.
I wasn't sure how I would fit in, with the "Official Blogger" group while I was preparing to go, but certainly felt part of the Genea-Blogging community in person and have felt part of that community while Online.
Watching the Official Group, they worked hard at letting the rest of the Genealogy community know what was happening. They were our News Reporters and I , for one, think they did a great job.
Thomas proposed a "Towards A Better Official Blogger Concept".
Does it need to Change? Don't know for sure, I would only suggest that when appropriate there be a rotation, by conference, of the "Official" group, but to give members of that group a break and open an opportunity for others to step in.
I can see what Thomas was talking about, in the "dislike about" piece of his blog, but I didn't experience those items and haven't.
A note of THANKS for the Official Bloggers, but also the Un-Official Group. The wide range of views from Roots Tech 2012 was very helpful. Even though I was there, the Blogging Community broaden the experience.
For me, the Genea-Bloggers are a community builders. The sharing and welcoming MADE Roots Tech 2012 for me. Meeting the 80+ Genea-Bloggers, in person …. PRICELESS.
