Indian Springs is the oldest state park in the nation. If booking your reservation online you will not receive a senior discount at time of booking. However, be sure to request the senior discount at check-in time. Park staff will refund the discount amount back to your credit card. There is a lot of history associated with this campground be sure to visit the culture center and museum. This is a favorite campground for the locals. Lots of activities for children. - Paythebill

There are no assigned spots in this park. You drive around until you find a site that is available and you want. We were fortunate to be there when it was not at all busy so we had the lake on 2 sides and a super large site. Only negative point is that there was no full hook up. Only water and electric. We would have stayed longer if we did not already have reservation at another park. Very woodsy. - FT Travelers3
Nov 2017 - $30.00
All sites were fairly level, and plenty deep with some shorter ones. 20/30 amp electric, water, and cable. Cable was not very clear. Park roads are a bit narrow, but our 42' rig was not a problem. Only one washer/dryer per bath house with two bath houses, so we didn't use. We didn't take advantage of the lake on this trip. The staff was very friendly and helpful. One note on entering. There are two park entrances, if you come in the north entrance where the sign is, you will find no place to stop at the office to register. We ended up finding an open site, as reservations are not site specific in Georgia, and then going up to register. This is a very old state park with some wonderful stone buildings dating back to FDR "New Deal" era, and has tons of history behind it. We camped 5 days which went through Thanksgiving weekend. The park got busy a couple days prior to Thanksgiving. I was told that it's full most of the summer also. - Uncledon

Nice state park just a few minutes from the Freeway. We were there only one night - in space 16 which backed up to the River. There was no OTA, no DISH and poor cell. There is a nice hike on the Tranquility Trail that goes through the forest and gets you access to the cool waterfalls on the river. Park was nice for a one night stop over, but seemed a little dated for a longer stay. A plus was how easy it was to get to/from the Freeway. There was also a Flying J one exit North. - Davishouse2

Stayed here to avoid Atlanta. 45 miles outside of Atlanta so when leaving about 0900 , passed thru Atlanta about 1000 hrs avoiding rush hour. - Lafitte

There are 2 campground locations here. One is the Lake Campground and the other is the River Campground. The Lake Campground is smaller and the sites seem more spacious. Most of the sites did not seem that level in this CG. We stayed in the River CG. The sites were reasonably level and there was decent spacing between the sites. Check in for both CG's is at the same location and easy to drive past like we did. When you pass the Dollar General on the right, the turn in is to the left BEFORE the bridge. If you miss the turn, just turn into the park entrance on the left on the other side of the bridge. This must happen a lot as the gate attendant knew exactly where we needed to go to turn around. When going into the Rivers CG, the road in has a steep section, but not too bad or long. Interior roads are easy to navigate. This is a great place to hike. Indian Springs SP is very close and has additional hiking and once you pay to camp here, Indian Springs is included in the entrance fee. The restrooms/showers are old, but were clean. There is no antenna TV reception here. There might be some in sites 65-85 as they are on higher ground. - GA Bob

Wooded and spacious campsites, not lined up in a row, but no undergrowth or shrubbery to add any privacy. Restrooms were fine and did have washer and dryer. Lots of families with children, but quieted down at night. - Al Julie B

We stayed here because it's relatively close to the airport in Atlanta. If we ever need to do this again, we'll stay somewhere else. Single restroom and shower. 2 coin-op washer-dryer combos. Many long-term residents that prefer to walk through your very narrow site to other places in the park. Often. Like 10-12 times per day. Long-term resident trailers have things built onto the sides and some don't have wheels and tires and just sit on the brake drums in the dirt. For the location, this is a very noisy park. The residential area across the road is full of people who have no mufflers on their cars and are proud of it...as is the long-term resident without one on her golf cart that makes about 75 laps around the park each day. Staff and management very polite and accommodating. - HDWC

Separate section for permanent RVs. They all seemed to be well kept. Our spot was level and a paved spot. No picnic table. There is a pool and bath house. There is a club house too. Many of the spots are not level. This is a nice place to stay for a night or 2. - esta34950
May 2016 - $30.00
No level sites. Old park not kept up. Sewer hookup was uphill. Sites were gravel and lots of tree roots. Office was closed and you left your payment in mailbox. Grass not cut nor was the park taken care of. Looked like someone just stuck it in the side of a hill. Would not recommend. - Retired1022
Oct 2015 - $30.00
Very few sites are anywhere near level. Some sites do not have water or sewer. We couldn't find anywhere to put our trash. There is no wifi, altho' the office said there was. Satellite TV is a challenge because of all the very tall pines. Highway noise was a steady hum, not too bad as it didn't change. We would not stay here again. - SusanRon

This is the Good, the Bad and the Ugly. The Good: interior roads were all recently repaved; park is easy access to and from the highway; a pizza place with a good selection of food options will deliver to your campsite if you don't want to cook/go out to eat. The Bad: the park is situated on a multilevel hilly area, making navigation with your rig a little tight in areas; sites are partially paved and/or gravel, semi level; there is no drainage system at all in the campground, so you can see the washout areas in the ground, some going right through the campsites. The Ugly: there are several longterm residents in the park, some in rigs in extreme disrepair, not very appealing to see while you traverse the park; the bathroom that we used is connected to the children's playground is very outdated, smelly, and the ladies bathroom door is so dilapidated it won't close properly, not so much dirty as in much need of repair. This place is adequate if you are just looking for a stopover. - Maga04

Nice KOA, very clean grounds, roads are narrow, but paved. Staff was friendly. They have a pizza place in the office/store that delivers to your site which is nice. WiFi was non existent. We were in the newer section of pull thrus so maybe that had something to do with the reception; however if they don't fix it they should take it off their list of amenities. In the 30 free minutes they gave me I was able to open one page. Other than that great place to overnight. - Lucky Lady from Florida
Apr 2018 - $40.00
A typical KOA. Clean, excellent staff, upper end of reasonable pricing. I would have rated it a 5 except for what I consider an unacceptable Internet experience. This KOA only provides 30 continuous minutes of slow internet before requiring you to pay an additional $5 for one day's service. I do not go camping to surf the web, I can do that at home but I do like to check email at the end of the day and before setting out the next day. They effectively have added another $5 to the cost of the site rate. Also, their Internet service is very dated. Slows considerably as more campers arrive and get online. I am encountering more and more high end Internet services in campgrounds that have the capacity and speed for streaming video. This is a result of parks making the investment in better infrastructure rather than limping along with outdated equipment to save money. I would have accepted the slow service had they not wanted me to pay for more than 30 continous minutes. There are other parks out there. I will patronize them next time. - Gary Munson

This is a great overnight stay after driving all day and passing through the Peach state. This is a small campground a few miles off the interstate, very quiet and peaceful. We stayed in a fairly level grassy pull thru site with water, sewer & electric for $27 with a Good Sam discount. The shower house was top shelf with residential showers and toilets. Our site was narrow prohibiting us from fully extending our slide out. We had to fold in the mirrors on our truck so the motorhome beside us could open his door. We will stop here again when needing to stop for the night. - Ohio Camping Family

This is great place for overnight. It is close to I-75. The park is quiet and clean. It is easy in and easy out. Our site was gravel, level, and long enough to keep our car hooked up behind our 43' MH. We would stay here again. - Tennis gal
Oct 2017 - $25.00
Grassy, level site with good water pressure and voltage. No WIFI but was able to get a satellite signal so that was good. We were just here for one night. We would stay here again if back in the area. Good value and they honor the Good Sam card. - zrxh14

We had issues getting started from previous park due to cold weather and the park owner waited for us until we arrived at 9 PM! Small park - mostly full time, but neat and clean. Site very level. Wifi excellent. Over air TV good. 2 1/2 miles fro I-75 but worth the drive for overnight! - Retired FL CSM

We stayed 2 nights in spot 32 which was a pull-through spot (more of a side of the road) the water was 10 feet from our door and had partial shade with 30 amp service. They do have some 50 amp service sites. The bath house is a little far from this site. They have no playground for the kids, but they do allow lake swimming. The park it self was very clean and well maintained. They have several sites that are right on the water, its also a great place for kayaks because they do not allow any boats over 25hp. The park is only open from March to September. - Corbin

We've stayed here before. Didn't like it then. I wouldn't ever stay more than one night. It's extremely crowded and cramped. Pull-throughs are easy. Since it's on a hill, each site is higher that the next. Therefore they have a concrete retaining wall of about 1' between. Be careful, as you can easily fall. Utilities are good and easy. - User2989
Jan 2018 - $36.00
This is a large park with easy access off of I-75 so there is some road noise. The roads into the park as well as inside the park are easy to navigate. They have around 150 sites as well as cabins. There is a pool and a fishing pond. Check in was fast and friendly. We were in Site A3, a gravel pull through that was plenty long enough for our 37-foot Class A, tow-dolly and parking the car. It was very narrow and no picnic table. WiFi was spotty and our Verizon signal was strong. We stayed January 10, 2017 and paid $36.00 a night with our Good Sam discount. - BarrettsHappyTrails
Nov 2017 - $36.00
We didn't like this park at all. It is so incredibly tight and uncomfortable. The topography of the park is a gradual uphill and therefore each site is a step up from each other and they chose to make that step up using concrete curbs. So, each site is about 10 to 12 feet wide and on each side of it is a concrete curb with a drop off as much at 2 feet. The grass yard beyond the curb is at a downhill slant not suitable for picnic table or chairs and even if the decline wasn't severe, the width is only about 3 feet. The sites are so short that our 40' 5th wheel filled it up and we had to park perpendicular to the RV with part of our dually fender in the road - as did everyone else. The roads are already very skinny, but with the trucks parked as they had to be it was very uncomfortable. We were really worried about getting out because of the curbs, trucks and the RV across from us. We made it okay only because when we were leaving 2 trucks were gone which left just enough room for my husband to go back and forth with the RV so he could swing wide....We will not be back. - jomark

The basic idea of the film is wrong: abusive teacher's not got punished...
Total failure, sorry for the director/writer...
A good premise with a decent cast to support it but fails in the execution. If you like zany comedies and Seann William Scott I highly recommend "Goon" and the underappreciated "Balls Out" instead.
Watchable (Fair) – This picture with Billy Bob Thorton and Sean William Scott is not as bad as most critics want you to believe. This is also not great comedy either. Billy Bob is still Billy Bob in this picture – basically a 2-dimensional crusty old gym teacher with a huge chip on his shoulder that's never explained. Sean William Scott, who I actually liked in this picture (the annoyance factor was greatly subdued), plays a guy who's grown to be successful after being abused repeatedly by gym teacher Billy Bob. The film does have some moments where I felt myself crack a smile, but there are no real laughs either. Billy Bob and the great Susan Sarandon are wasted in this picture. What the film does have is an interesting storyline that begs to be explored further.
glad I didn't go to that school .

The New York Post reports: It should come as no surprise that Page Six is among the Israeli prime minister's top priorities.
On Monday, we reported that Benjamin Netanyahu was booed — and cheered — as he took his seat for "Hamilton."
On Tuesday, a miffed Netanyahu personally wrote on Facebook that while "among the cheering crowd maybe one or two called out derogatory remarks," it was "hard to believe that a number of media outlets later reported that I was booed."
He added, "A Haaretz [newpaper] reporter published on his Twitter feed a headline that said: 'Boos for Bibi: Israeli PM Netanyahu is jeered by Broadway crowd.'" (Some Israeli publications overstated the hostility described in our write-up until it seemed that he was mainly booed, rather than mainly applauded.)

Announcing the 2017 Virginia Farm to Table Conference!
Virginia SARE Makes Sustainable Real
By Liz Kirchner (firstname.lastname@example.com)
Every morning, farmers and researchers all over Virginia – all over the nation, really – stand in their pastures, forests, vineyards, breweries, warehouses, and fields thinking, "I'll bet I can improve my system to be more economically viable, more environmentally sound, and better not just for my own family, but for everyone in my community. What if I could make that change?"
I'm Liz Kirchner, Virginia's education support specialist for the USDA's Southern Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education (SARE) grant program. It's grant funding like SARE's, and the networking and technical support that come with it, that make those "What if"s realities.
Right now, producers and researchers throughout Virginia are using SARE grants to explore and make evidence-based changes to their farming systems and marketing approaches. They're improving adoption of agroforestry and silvopasture systems in the Shenandoah Valley, integrating row covers into specialty crop systems in the Coastal Plain, and investigating the profitability of organic baby ginger production in the Appalachians.
As education support and outreach specialist, my job is to improve access to SARE educational opportunities and grant funding. I come to SARE with agronomy degrees from two land-grant universities and a career in editing and communication. I'll be shaking hands, producing multimedia content, and talking about SARE, so that farmers and researchers all over Virginia can ask those "What if…" questions every morning, then answer them, increasing our knowledge of sustainable techniques, moving us all closer to sustainable food systems that support profitability, environmental stewardship, and social well-being all over Virginia – the whole nation, really.
Contact me with questions and ideas about SARE and healthy food access at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Pylons – Public transport signs for Ruter#
Product: Pylons / Signs (Søyler)
Client: Ruter
Collaborator: Scandinavian Design Group
robust, visible and super easy to maintain
Ruter wanted to evaluate and further develop their Pylons (Søyler) to be cost effective, robust, and easy to maintain.
First of all we collected essential information from people installing and maintaining the pylons. By means of our own 3D CAD models and by evaluating 3D models from the production company, we have, all the way, effectively discussed production and tested out new ideas and possibilities. Together with Ruter, test criteria and procedures have been implemented and executed at production. This made it possible to step directly into the last physical prototype and get approval for production.
The pylons are now much more modular and therefore easier to adapt to different stops. Parts that might need replacement or need to be different for different stops are easy to adjust or replace. The pylon has been tightened for water and a proven system for air ventilation has been implemented to avoid condensation on the glass panels. The design have been improved to make the product look sturdy and nicely finished.
The Pylons are now installed at several stops in the centre of Oslo. Robust, visible and super easy to maintain.

Tishman Hotel Corporation (THC) announced the conclusion of a definitive agreement to retain hospitality inspection specialist Guest Check LLC, of Denver, Colorado, to provide on-going service and facilities inspections for its portfolio of properties.
With properties across the US and in the Caribbean, THC has engaged Guest Check to help both on-site property managers and Tishman executives to monitor property service delivery and adherence to quality standards, to identify staff training needs and to review facility condition. Tishman properties will receive regular inspections of all service areas, physical facilities, food and beverage outlets and guest activities. THC properties are known for maintenance of high standards and these inspections are an integral part of Tishman's quality initiatives.
The agreement concludes an intensive 6 month review of inspection service providers by Tishman. 'We reviewed many of the providers of inspection services and finally selected Guest Check. They provide detailed management-focused inspection reports and utilize experienced professional inspectors, all at a competitive price point,' comments Jim Biggar, THC Senior Vice President.
Rather than having each of its properties contract and manage inspections individually, Tishman executives opted for a standardized approach. This approach provides standard measures across properties, while allowing for property specific differences. Tishman management may review individual property performance as well as compare performance across properties.
'We are pleased to support Tishman in its efforts to ensure the highest quality guest experience. Tishman management clearly understands this challenge, has realistic goals and is actively engaged in this process. This ensures a continued outstanding guest experience across its properties,' comments Derek Wood, Guest Check President.
Guest Check is the sole provider of its Comprehensive Inspection services which evaluate service quality from initial guest reservation through guest check out, including all amenities, guest activities, retail and food and beverage services. The evaluation covers thousands of points of service, all scored against stringent standards. Individual staff performance is also rigorously reviewed and reported to property management.
'Half the challenge in maintaining property performance is having the right management tools,' continues Biggar. 'Guest Check is one of those tools.'
Tishman Hotel Corporation
Tishman Hotel Corporation (THC) is a leading U.S.-based Hotel Management firm, which also provides Asset Management and Hospitality Advisory services. THC manages approximately 9,000 hotel rooms nationwide and in the Caribbean, and in conjunction with its affiliates, has provided services to more than 160 hotels totaling over 80,000 hotel rooms. Hotel Business magazine ranks THC as the #2 independent hotel management company in the nation.
Properties managed by THC include the Eldorado Hotel in Santa Fe, NM; the Warner Center Marriott Woodland Hills and Four Points Sheraton LAX in California; the Crown Plaza Harrisburg in Pennsylvania; the Renaissance Chicago O'Hare, and the Westin Rio Mar Beach and Sheraton Old San Juan in Puerto Rico.
THC is an affiliate of Tishman Realty & Construction Co., Inc., one of the world's premier real estate managers, developers, owners, builders, and advisors, founded in 1898 and headquartered in New York. For more information, please visit www.tishmanhotels.com.

The winner: Angie Lilly! Congratulations
Yes, you read that right. Pirate Brands offers a healthy snacking alternative for those of us who just can't give up the occasional chips and popcorn treat. I have to admit that a sandwich just isn't the same sometimes without a cheese puff or something like that...

The iBall Tarang Red 2.1 Channel Surround Sound System is a portable and lightweight speaker system. The speaker cabinets are made of wood which enriches the sound quality. The design on the faces of the speakers is a wonderful mixture of edges and curves finished in a glossy black paint. The speaker grills are painted a dark muted red.
There is a big knob on the centred of the sub-woofer for controlling volume which is surrounded by the rest of the controls in a ring design. Above that is a nice big LED display for displaying volume and track information. There is an SD card slot beside the USB port at the bottom of the sub-woofer. All these design elements come together nicely and combine to give a futuristic look to the set. The main power button is at the back of the sub-woofer.
The iBall Tarang red being a 2.1 Channel Multimedia Speaker sound system gives a surround sound effect with a nice deep bass along with clear highs and lows. This is a low-cost system.

The frequency response starts from as low as 20 Hz. and tops out at 20 kHz. The total peak output is a whopping 130 W!
The included remote control works very well and the FM cable which acts as an antenna is a thoughtful inclusion here as it clears up the built-in FM radio's reception in some tight spaces. The speaker set supports multiple inputs like SD/MMC, USB, and Auxiliary input. One more convenient addition here is Bluetooth play. The speakers can be connected to a PC or a smartphone via Bluetooth and can play music wirelessly. This eliminates the hassle of wires and tremendously increases the utility of the speaker set.

Candy: New twists on classics sweeten sales
New twists on classic candy brands helped propel dollar sales in the chocolate candy segment ahead nearly 10%. An increase in prices contributed to the dollar sales gain, but a big boost came from line extensions and limited-edition flavors.
"The old standbys are comfort brands for consumers, and manufacturers continue to trade off their following with new products," said Lisbeth Echeandia, VP trade marketing of consulting firm Frey Enterprises.
Jack Russo, an analyst with Edward Jones, said line extensions were a low-risk, high-reward approach for the companies.
M&M Mars has been bullish on extending its brand franchise. "Offering new products invigorates the category," said Lauren Nodzak, a spokeswoman for Mars Chocolate North America. "Consumers trust brands they love, so they're open to trying new flavor variations."
With 6-of-the-top-15 chocolate brands, Mars has plenty of room for variation. After introducing
M&M coconut chocolate candies as a limited-edition release in summer 2009, Mars made the extension permanent at the end of the year. In May, the company introduced M&M's pretzel chocolate candies. The product was ranked by Forbes as the No. 3 most-memorable product launch of the year, and scored the brand a place on Advertising Age's list of America's Hottest
Brands for 2010.
Other introductions were Dove sugar-free chocolates with peanut butter crème, Snickers peanut butter Squared and Dove brand chocolate swirl in two flavors. Twix coconut cookie bar will launch in April as a limited-edition product.
Rival Hershey also has carefully added its own brand extensions — notably Reese's minis and Hershey's drops, as well as Pieces versions of its York, Almond Joy and Special Dark brand. Hershey has scaled back on limited-edition candies after retailer resistance to too many extensions several years ago caused the company to refocus its strategy.

Fulton Innovation unveils eCoupled
LAS VEGAS — A company that develops wireless power technology is bringing that technology to consumer packaging.
At the Consumer Electronics Show earlier this month at the Las Vegas Convention Center, Fulton Innovation unveiled eCoupled intelligent wireless power, demonstrating it in a number of applications, including an electric car.
But the company also showed how consumables can use the technology. One product was a soup container that can heat up without the aid of a stove or microwave. There also were cereal boxes that could transmit nutritional information, quantities, expiration dates and other information to a computer or mobile phone, and had printed coils that caused the logos and pictures on the front to illuminate.

RALEIGH --A jury found has found 63-year-old Leslie "Lester" Smith guilty of shooting 48-year-old Jaquelyn Larue Gore in his Wake Forest home July 26, 2009.
Smith admitted shooting and killing his live-in girlfriend last year, but his attorney claimed she had a problem with alcohol, violence and was suicidal.
Attorney Karl Knudson used an unusual 'suicide by boyfriend' defense, urging jurors to find Smith guilty of involuntary manslaughter, and arguing Gore taunted Smith to shoot her.
Instead, the jury came back with a verdict of first-degree murder Wednesday afternoon.
He was sentence to life in prison without parole.

Not to make light of the scripture but I do hope that His plans for today include a nap. Sunday and Monday were feel good days, definitely much better. Today is a tough day. And that is to be expected. After years of working as a medical speech pathologist, I have coached families and patients on the reality that for every good day, there will be a tired day….the goal is that eventually you have more good/strong days than fatigue days.
I am honestly too wiped out to write an update but I want to touch base, thank you for your ongoing support and prayers, and to encourage you that yes—I had 2 really good days.
More updates to come (when I am alert enough to form sentences).
Thank you all. And please thank your friends. I know that there are many people out there praying for me who I have never met.
To God be all the Glory.

Welcome › Forums › Mosley; Moseley; Mozley etc. › Letter from my grandfather
This topic contains 1 reply, has 2 voices, and was last updated by vib 3 years, 3 months ago.
22 June, 2013 at 17:52 #2384
I am copying a letter from my grandfather he wrote in 1943 to his niece:
Dallas, Texas
June 5 – 1943
Dear Mariana:
I rcvd your letter about a week ago, and since have been trying to refresh my memory on the subject mentioned.
In the year 1649 William Moseley a wealthy merchant of London fled from England with his family when Charles I was beheaded. He was a royalist, of course. He first went to Rotterdam, Holland, and the same year emigrated to Virginia purchasing a large tract of land in Norfolk and Princess Anne Counties. He named his estate Rolleston Hall after the old family estate in Staffordshire, England. Sir Oswald Mosley – in jail now as a fascist – is the present heir of the English estate being the eldest son of the eldest son on down. Rolleston Hall England was founded in the 11th century by one Erwald, a Saxon who received a King's grant of land at Mossy Lea (?) Staffordshire. This is our first known ancestor, and the name Moseley, evidently was derived from the name Mossy Lea (?).
We are descended from second sons. Our branch went to London, accumulated wealth, and one of our ancestors, Sir Christopher, was Lord Mayor of London. Our family in London was supposed to have been diamond merchants. The Moseley family of Virginia had more family jewels than any other, and was second only to the Randolph's in family portraits. They were blue blooded aristocrats, but some of them do not have an enviable record. The Virginia Moseleys were Tories during the revolutionary war and friends of Benedict Arnold and some of them barely escaped hanging. Our branch of the family, however was already in North Carolina and were loyal revolutionists.
Your descent in America is as follows: [Moseleys] William – Arthur – Edward I – Edward II, – Tully – Matthew – Alexander I, – Louis Matthew – Alexander II, and Thomas, your father.
Arthur [Moseley] was the second son of William, and his son Edward I, know as Colonel Edward Moseley, emigrated to North Carolina. He owned a plantation of more than 20,000 acres, was a lawyer and land surveyor, and for more than 20 years was speaker of the Colonial Assembly of North Carolina. He is our most distinguished American ancestor. He married Ann Lillington, daughter of Gov. Lellington, whose wife, the mother of Ann, was an Adams of Massachusetts of the same family as John and John Quincy. So you are blood kin to two presidents. Col Edward [Moseley] and two other commissioners appoint by the Governors of Virginia and North Carolina surveyed the boundary lines between the two states. A colonial governor of North Carolina, – later than Gov. Lellington – was suspected of being in conspiracy with a notorious pirate known as Blackbeard. Col. Edward [Moseley} and another member of the Assembly searched the Governor's office in his absence and found paper of sufficient evidence to convict the Governor. The Governor, however apprehended them, regained his papers and ordered their arrest. He fined them 500 pounds each and sentenced them to 1 year in jail. He offered to pardon them if they would apologized on the floor of the Assembly. The other Assemblyman did so, but Colonel Edward [Moseley] refused. The jail sentence was pardoned, but the fine had to be paid. Blackbeard's fleet was afterwards destroyed by the British Navy and Blackbeard killed. What became of the guilty governor is not recorded.
Edward II, or Edward Jr. as he is called, son of Col. Edward [Moseley] married Mary Empereur, daughter of Tully Empereur, of Princess Anne County Virginia. This name Tully was derived from Tully Empereur's mother, who was Mary Tully and came to America from England with her brother Marcus Tully. This Tully Empereur was the wealthiest of all of our ancestors. They owned vast estates in the Barbados Islands, in Virginia, and the Carolinas. The grandson, Col. Tully Moseley, son of Edward and Mary, was the wealthiest of our Moseley ancestors. He made his home on Cape Fear River of North Carolina. He was born in 1711. He lived a long life, was a man of high intellect and principles, and had the respect of every one.
Col. Tully was the grandfather of Alexander, you treat great grandfather and William D. who became the first elected Governor of Florida after this territory became a state. Both Alexander and William D. were members of the North Carolina legislature before they moved to Florida. Alexander, our ancestor, quit the law to become a Baptist preacher. William D. continued the practice of law and became Governor of Florida. He as a man of extraordinary intellect, but he did a thing in North Carolina that makes me glad that Alexander the preacher, and not he [William D. Moseley], is our ancestor. He {William D. Moseley] sponsored a bill and it became a law making it a penitentiary offence to teach a Negro reading or writing. This was during slavery and the bill evidently intended to keep the Negro in ignorance and bondage forever.
Louis Matthew Moseley, your great grandfather, was born in 1815, the son of Alexander the preacher. He owned a 10,000 acre plantation and more than 100 slaves. This plantation was called Moseley Hall and was located on the Suwannee River in Live Oak and Madison Counties, Florida. He was a member of the Florida legislature. He had the following children: Corrie, Cousin ______ mother, – Sue, – Alexander, mine and Toms father, – Margaret, Thomas, William, Matthew Barton, Frank and Mr. B's father – MacDonald, "Uncle Don" – and Josephine, "Aunt Josie at Italy.
Alexander, mine and Tom's father became a Confederate soldier at the age of 16. His 'buddy" in the war was Shelton Sessions who lived there at Ennis, and for whom your Uncle Shelton was named. Mr. Sessions also named his first son Alexander for our Father. They first served with Longstreet's division In Virginia, but took part in only one serious engagement, the battle of Fredricksburg. After this on account of their age, they were sent back to the army of Florida where they remained without active service to the end of the war.
The information that I have given you down through the record of Tully Moseley I found in the year books published by the Virginia Historical Society (or Institute?) and also in an old North Carolina History. All of these books may be found on the second floor of the Dallas Public Library and are for reference only. The information is pretty hard to dig out and you have to use the index entirely. Some volumes will give a rather lengthy account, some only a little, and most of them nothing. In one of these year books is a replica painted portrait of William the Emigrant, and he looks like Capt Miles Standish, and also very aristocratic with his lace collar and cuffs, his goatee and straight brushed mustaches. Strange, but the original Moseley's are dark brunettes, and our branch has become fair through marriage with blondes.
What I have given you is from memory, but it is fairly accurate. I don't want to write another, so I would advise you to type and file it for safe keeping and if any other Moseley want his copy let him or her copy.
With love and best wishes
You Uncle
P.S. I forgot to mention the Moseley Coat of Arms. I have seen this. It has three pick axes in one corner – why, I don't understand for none of the Moseleys ever did any ward work. Like all coat of arms, it has a Latin inscription, which I have forgotten, but which translated means "Custom make the law" which I don't believe.
I believe that the present generation of all families are for better, intellectually, morally and spiritually than their ancestors and this dulls my interest in family histories. A good heredity is a good thing, but so called aristocracy may not be so good. "A mans a non for this." A.T.M.
As to religion the early Moseleys in England, like every one else, were Roman Catholics. They changed to the Episcopal Church of England during the reign of Henry VIII, and after they came to America, very likely down to Alexander, the Baptist preacher.
Herbert Hoover's ancestors lived in North Carolina during the life of Col. Edward Moseley. They belonged to a Quaker sect against which a violent persecution arose by member of the Church of England. Col. Edward, though denounced the persecution over and over again on the floor of the Assembly and did not cease until the government stopped the persecutions.
The Moseley family is noted for the intellectuality of its men and the beauty and purity of its women. In fairness to the men, I want to say that though they may have occasionally departed from our present standard of right, they were on the whole men of the higher honor and integrity whose work was their bond. And particularly were they kind – kind to their families, their slaves, and all – and they still are kind. That which "Uncle William D." [Moseley] the Governor did in North Carolina who no doubt believed to be right, since African slavery at that time was regarded as ordained of God by the majority of the southern people, and John C. Calhoun was it chief exponent. This belief was based mainly upon Noah's prophecy concerning the descent of his 3 sons, "Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren." – Genesis 9:25
I will tell you Mariana as I have often told my children you have an ancestry equal to any and you need never feel an inferiority complex nor an unfavorable comparison on that score.
Intellect and integrity are the most persistent heredity traits and I am happy to know that they still appear in the Moseley descent. We can be particularly proud of our Adams ancestry for this family is one of the most outstanding cultured and intellectual families of America, and has been so for generation after generation. Colonel Edward married the daughter of the Adams women but he himself was about the most intellectual man of North Carolina at that time. When I would read of him in the old North Carolina History his every act – his land surveying, his consultation with people, etc. etc. – would remind me of your grandfather –mine and Tom's father –who was a man exactly of that type though not so distinguished.
The Moseley at the beginning are pure English but through intermarriages are now English, Dutch, French, Scotch, Irish, and goodness knows what else. My children and 1/8 German from their mother. The melting pot is at work and this mixture of races is making the American the greatest of all people.
[Alexander Tully Moseley]22 April, 2015 at 21:08 #3015
What a lovely letter filled with so much history. I am having a very hard time trying to track down my Mosley's. It seems they didn't exist before my grandfather William Henry Mosley whom was born in 1866 in KY.. His father was John Critinine and went by Crit. His mother as best we know was Cecilia Ross. Have you by chance run across these names? I would love to know if you have. Thanks for your time.

One thing the Panthers have been very good over the course of the past 14 years is digging themselves into a deep hole early in the season.
Save for Florida's playoff season in 2011-12 when the Panthers were 12-6-3 by Thanksgiving, bad starts have become commonplace.
After Saturday's 5-1 loss to the Devils in their home opener, the Panthers need to bounce back and fast.
Going into Monday's home game against Ottawa, Florida is 0-1-1 with its lone point coming via an overtime loss at Tampa Bay last Thursday.
With a four-game road trip coming up, the Panthers could use a win.
"I forgot about [Saturday] because you have to move on,'' said coach Gerard Gallant, who has yet to record a victory of any kind in his first season with the team. Florida went 0-4-2 in the preseason.
"You play too many games to worry about yesterday. You have to move on and [Monday] is another big game. There are no easy games for the Florida Panthers, and we have to be ready to play every night.''
Scottie Upshall said Florida should focus more on what it did right against the Lightning and not what went wrong against the Devils.
"We had a good day [Sunday] and know that a 1-1-1 start isn't that bad,'' Upshall said. "We're focused on winning the next game before we head off on the road trip. We have to focus on the next game, the next shift.''
So far this season, Florida has struggled again on special teams as Tampa Bay and New Jersey has scored five goals on 12 power-play chances.
Florida, on the other hand, has one goal on 10 tries with the man advantage.
Saturday, Derek MacKenzie got Florida's lone goal when he was thrown out on the power play despite not working on that unit all year.
MacKenzie got just his second power-play goal of his career only it was too late for the Panthers to do much of anything. Florida was already down five goals at the time.
"I think everyone is settling into their roles here,'' MacKenzie said after Sunday's light practice in Coral Springs. "There are things we can build on.''
▪ With management curtailing free tickets to employees and sponsors as well as cutting back on discounted ticket packages, attendance at BB&T Center is expected to be way down.
Saturday's opener drew an announced 11,419 — lowest for an opener in franchise history.
Monday's game could easily become the lowest announced attendance for a home game in franchise history.
Florida's record for lowest attendance at a home game is 10,063 against Carolina on Oct. 31, 2007.
"I've seen way worse,'' said Upshall, who routinely played in front of small crowds during his days with Phoenix.
"The fans we have here are extremely loyal. We just need to bring our own energy onto the ice. You can still can create a nice buzz in the BB&T Center by scoring goals, getting wins. We know things are tough, but when we win and produce, people want to come out and see us.''
The smallest announced attendance in Panthers history was 4,802 for a game against the Capitals in Landover, Maryland, on Dec. 28, 1993, because of a massive snowstorm.
▪ Center Dave Bolland and winger Shawn Thornton didn't participate in Sunday's practice, but Gallant says they will be available Monday.
Monday: Senators at Panthers
When/where: 7:30 p.m.; BB&T Center, Sunrise.
TV/radio: FSNF; WQAM 560.
The series: Ottawa leads 46-30-3.
Notes: The Panthers went .500 against the Senators last year, the first season Ottawa didn't have a winning season in the series since 2008-09. The Sens have taken the season series six of the past eight years.

We're Not Sixteen Anymore: A Baby Boomer's Adventures with Online Dating
By Leah Parodi
Becky Andersen is a native Iowan, Baby Boomer and recently married mother and grandmother who published her first book about the trials and tribulations of online dating as an older adult. We're Not Sixteen Anymore is a fun, entertaining read about new love and the sometimes bumpy, and often hilarious, road to find it.
Andersen pens a witty and thoughtful book about the loss of one love and how she was able, with a few not-so-subtle pushes from family and friends, find love anew. Readers will laugh out loud at her dating exploits and perhaps find the courage or inspiration to go out and date as well.
Andersen was married to her high school sweetheart, Harold, and together they have two daughters and five grandchildren. She and Harold were enjoying a loving marriage and were getting ready for their youngest daughter's wedding when everything changed. "Harold was 57 when he died," said Andersen. "He just dropped dead. That was on February 27, 2010, three months before our youngest daughter got married." Andersen's husband, she said, went to his hunting cabin for some R&R, something he did on occasion. While collecting wood for the fire he had a sudden heart attack and was gone. "I went through every cliché you can think of; I was heartbroken, scared, and even my tears seemed to burn when I cried. I was told I would find a "new normal" but there is no such thing. It's a couple's world and I had the most wonderful marriage. I missed that and never thought I would get married again."
Andersen filled her time with her family and friends, and over time people started telling her that she needed more "male friends." "My own father told me I needed to start dating!" And without warning, Andersen's oldest daughter surprised her mother and signed her up for Match.com. "My daughter told me she opened an account for me in her name, and when I asked why, she said that she was just looking for Dad. We cried but then later looked at the prospects." It took Andersen about a day to gather the courage to fill out her online dating site profile. "The profile was like an essay test! I was scared. I never had much dating experience. I was 60 years old, but when it came to dating, I was in a time warp, and could only relate to my former teenage self. But I soon found I wasn't 16 anymore."
However, the prospects didn't seem to notice and the next day Andersen had 24 matches. She said that she dated a few of them, looking for someone to simply talk to. "I worked at a college and I loved conversation, but with some dates, it seemed I did all the talking. When that happened, I knew that match was not the one for me." Andersen pressed on with her prospects and then she met Dave. Dave had lost his wife, Paula, to breast cancer.
The first date that she and Dave had was set up at a local, busy restaurant. "I went early to scope him out and waited by the front door," she chuckled. "But there was another door and he was waiting for me inside. We thought we were both stood up!" She said that they had a nice conversation but Becky felt no sparks. So, they kept in touch by email remaining "friends". After Andersen dated a few other gentlemen Dave invited her on a picnic as a "friend". Becky finally realized that she liked this guy. "Harold had set the bar high. And Dave treated me like a queen. We had a lot in common but also enough differences to make a relationship interesting. The lesson I learned was to live outside your comfort zone and listen to your heart."
After four weeks Dave proposed and the long and short end of it is that a few months later the couple wed in front of 350 family and friends. He, like Andersen, has children and grandchildren. "There is a time to mourn and a time to celebrate," Andersen said. "I discovered that the heart can expand. I don't just love one child, one parent, one grandchild. There was room for more love."
Andersen, happily in love and recently retired, was looking for her next adventure and the idea of writing a book about her dating experiences was gaining momentum. "While I was dating, I posted some of my dating experiences on Facebook. I had so many friends supporting me and they liked to see what was happening." She posted on-line about her dates in funny, witty snippets and when she stopped dating her friends were sad, wanting to read more. They urged her to write a book about her experiences. "I was retired and saw this as mainly something to do."
We're Not Sixteen Anymore: A Baby Boomer's Adventures with Online Dating was released in June of 2016 and has since received rave reviews. Andersen's book follows her dating adventures, tongue-in-cheek, Erma Bombeck style, as she navigated the highs and lows of dating as a baby boomer. Feeling way out of her comfort zone, not only dating again but using new-to-her technology, she bravely dove in with both feet. This author not only shares her dating experiences, but also the lessons she learned about life, love and most importantly, herself.
And while Andersen began writing her book to entertain others about the fears and fun of dating again and on-line, this book is a wonderful read for anyone who has ever tried or contemplated online dating. Regardless of readers dating status, all will enjoy this true so-called saga. "If I could help somebody else get out of their dating comfort zone, then I would feel that writing this book was worth it!"
At the end of the day Andersen wants readers to enjoy her book and have a laugh with her. But she also offers encouragement and advice to those who may be nervous about dating again. "First and foremost be safe! Get your dates name and number and share that with a friend along with time and place of date. And meet where there are lots of people." Andersen also added to be open minded too. "Don't judge a book by its cover. Email a little before the date and then you need a face-to-face meeting to really get to know someone. Listen to your heart! The clichés are absolutely true!"
Today, Becky Andersen lives near Des Moines with her husband, Dave. They are doting grandparents and like to travel and work in their garden. We're Not Sixteen Anymore is now available for order on the WriteLife Publishing website, Barnes & Noble, Amazon, and other major and independent bookstores.

My daughter just recently had her first home purchase ever and it was more difficult than what she previously imagined. Of course, that was because she did not have prior experience in buying a home. I can assure you that things will get easier as time goes by.
With total mortgage approval rates in the United Kingdom reaching 115,107 for February 2017, more people are realising more than ever the benefits of owning an actual home as opposed to renting like what my daughter did before. But it has to be remembered that not all cities have a mortgage approval-friendly real estate climate. Here are a few of the best areas for mortgage approval rates in UK:
Formerly a city known for its coal industry, Yorkshire entered the new millennium with a forward-thinking plan. As a result, the real estate industry is booming in this city. The Rotherham area of Yorkshire, in particular, is getting the most property attention due to the various entertainment facilities and features being built in the area. This has resulted in a better mortgage approval climate for incoming property owners.
Call me old-fashioned, but there is something calming about the thought of living in a town with castles in it. Rochester succeeds in this sense. This small historic city is found just a few miles from London and is famous for the eponymous castle that dominates its skyline. The very thing that makes Rochester an ideal place for getting a mortgage is because of its small population despite the huge demand for the properties in the area.
For such a big city you would expect Liverpool to have high real estate prices. Surprisingly, that is not the case. In fact, despite a sharp increase in the cost of properties in recent years, Liverpool remains an affordable city to buy a house. The demand from the huge student population also helps in making the city mortgage-friendly.
Despite the many modern buildings in the midst of the city, Cornwall still evokes a Georgian feel. Potential home buyers may enjoy choosing homes in the area due to low house prices though it is expected that there will be a real estate boom in the coming years.
Manchester was named the best place to invest in property recently and part of this is the high level of mortgage approval in the city. Manchester's attractiveness in the perspective of mortgage lenders stems from the sizeable rental sector and the high number of millennials that are willing to rent a room, which can help in paying mortgage bills.
While these places are great areas to have your mortgage approved, whether your mortgage application will succeed will ultimately be because of the content of the documents that you will be submitting. A bad mortgage application (bad credit score, bad credit history, etc.) will fail to receive an approval whether it is in London, Cardiff or a small town in the Scottish-English border.Tags: best places to get a mortgage, buying a house, where to get a mortgage

What a lawyer charges is, in part, a product of four things: (1) his level of skill and experience, (2) his reputation in the legal community, (3) the time and effort he plans on putting into your case, and (4) the satisfaction of past clients.
This is not to say that just because an attorney is the most expensive he is the best. There are some attorneys that may try to price gouge. This is dishonorable and shows from the outset the attorney intends on putting his interest above yours. However, there are also those at the opposite end of the spectrum. These attorneys blindly quote unusually low flat fees in mail marketing letters even though they know nothing about your case or what is required to resolve it successfully. (READ more about this practice in an article explaining why you should NEVER hire one of these attorneys.)
Generally, discount attorneys cost you significantly more in the long run. If you are faced with a criminal charge, like Reckless Driving or DUI/DWI, there is a lot at stake. You should hire the best attorney you can afford, while at the same time watching out for those that have unnecessarily high rates. Kyle G. Manikas tries very hard to quote a reasonable rate. His objective is to charge what is necessary to allow him to spend enough time on your case to get the best possible result. Regardless of whether you retain the services of Mr. Manikas, you should never make a decision on what attorney to hire based on price alone. Shop for an attorney, not the cheapest price,
Cheap attorneys are cheap for a reason (remember the four components noted above that make up the price?). Moreover, cheap lawyers need to serve a very high volume of clients to make money. Serving a high number of clients means that the attorney will be extremely busy and have little or no time to spend on your case. This is why they can blindly quote you a fixed fee - they are going to spend the same minimal amount of time on every case regardless of what is required and regardless of the result. If the rate sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

How Much Does it Cost to Fight My Case?
What a lawyer charges is, in part, a product of four things: (1) his level of skill and experience, (2) his reputation in the legal community, (3) the time and effort he plans on putting into your case, and (4) the satisfaction of past clients.

Unique Loire Valley France Travel Experience
Are you looking for a unique travel experience in the Loire Valley in France?
Are you heading to the Loire Valley in France for some luxury travel? Are you interested in a unique Loire Valley France experience? During a recent visit to the Loire Valley in France, I came upon a very interesting site- what appeared to be dwellings carved into the cliffs overlooking the Loire River. As I floated down the quiet river, gazing up at the cliffs in awe, my guide informed me that there were, indeed, dwellings carved into the cliffs many centuries ago. Surprisingly, these dwellings, called troglodytes, continue to be used today. Cut from the soft, golden tufa stone cliffs, the troglodytes could best be described as resembling caves. How did they get there? This is an excellent question!
What is the history of troglodyte dwellings and are they still used?
Let's not forget that as the French citizens became restless, the kings of France departed their castles in Paris for what they believed to be the safety of the Loire Valley and of course, they needed accommodations that were "fit for a king". As a result, the Loire Valley is home to some of France's most beautiful castles and many of these castles were built from the golden tufa limestone. The stone would be quarried from around the Loire Valley and taken to build these castles,leaving carved out areas or caves behind. The caves were perfect for a family to use–they had the benefit of being a bit cooler in the summer and protecting the inhabitants from the elements in the winter. At present, these troglodytes can be seen along the tufa cliffs as you explore the Loire Valley in France. Some of my favorite examples of troglodytes can be found in Saumur, which is also world-renowned for its white wines. I would suggest that you stop in Saumur to explore this interesting architecture as well as some of their very fine wine caves.
You can stay in a luxury troglodyte hotel!
Many clients are interested in experiences that are one-of-a-kind. May we suggest a stay in a troglodyte hotel? A fine example of a lovely, luxury hotel that also offers an opportunity to experience this unusual architecture first-hand is the four-star (4*) Les Hautes Roches, which is located between Vouvray and Tours. This hotel, which is perfectly located for touring, allows you to sleep like a king but experience something new and unique.
Loire Valley castles made of luminous tufa stone
Now that you are in the Loire Valley and you have seen these interesting dwellings, where can you find some examples of the castles built with this warm stone? Some fine can be found throughout the Loire Valley. The Chateau de Chenonceau, which is also known as the "Ladies' Castle", is one of the best examples of building with this porous limestone. Also notable is the Chateau de Brézé in Saumur. Travel back in time into Brézé's underground fortress and hear the tales of the lords and ladies and those who served them who resided here. Don't forget to try the wine offerings at Brézé as well!
Have I piqued your interest in the Loire Valley? Please feel free to contact us at SVP Tours for a customized tour of the beautiful land of castles and kings, the Loire Valley. While there, allow us to arrange for a private visit of some troglodytes and castles and perhaps even a wine tasting or two. If you can dream it, we can make it happen!
Happy holidays!
Christmas Markets in France
Bonne Année and Joyeux Noel- Christmas market time!
It is holiday time in France, which is a very special time. As families prepare for the Christmas festivities and feasts, they are also enjoying the traditional Christmas markets. This is one of the many European traditions that I would love to see here in the United States! Famed throughout Europe, Christmas markets are a "must see" if you are in France in December. Known as the "Marché de Noel",a visit to these markets makes you feel like you are stepping into a storybook. Beautiful twinkle lights shine over the cobblestone squares as the local producers sell their wares under little wooden stalls that are built for the occasion. Christmas cakes, gingerbread and mulled wine ("vin chaud") beckon you to taste them. Unusual decorations and crafts make perfect presents for friends and family. This is also a wonderful opportunity to restock your wine collection so keep your eyes open for some amazing French wine! Some Christmas markets feature parades, bands and sound and light shows. They are certainly a sight to see!
Although many of the larger markets are in northern France in places such as Lille and Strasbourg, they can be found throughout France in places like Toulouse, Reims, Colmar, Bordeaux and Avignon. Although there are only a couple weeks remaining before the Christmas markets bid us "adieu" until next year, there is still plenty of time to experience this wonderous French tradition. If you can dream it, we can make it happen.

Roll Your Own Cigarette Machine
This is hands down the best electric roll your own cigarette machine on the market!
When i found out this Roll Your Own Cigarette Machine was available, I just had to let you know about it.
WARNING: Your Roll Your Own Cigarette Machine is not for commercial purposes, It is intended for your personal use only!
Why is your this machine only for personal use? Well listen to this story:
I attended an Annual Convention of Tobacco Dealers a few years ago and talked to a representative of a tobacco company who makes roll your own cigarette tobacco and supplies. I asked him when his company was going to come out with and electric cigarette machine that produces more than one cigarette at a time.
This is what he told me:
The major cigarette companies have most of the patents on electric cigarette makers and the machines they use cost in the tens of thousands of dollars or maybe even hundreds of thousands.
They simply don't want a machine on the market that consumers can use to make their own cigarettes. they would lose tons of money if that happened.
And besides, if you have an Roll Your Own Cigarette Machine for consumers that makes more than one cigarette at a time, then the federal government would want to tax and control the machines for the tax money. You would have to get a special permit, because the federal government would say you were a manufacturer.
(A federal license must be obtained for the manufacturing of cigarettes. The only exception is for a person who produces cigarettes solely for their own use. This license must be obtained from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms. (ATF).)
That all made sense to me, so I didn't believe an Roll Your Own Cigarette Machine would ever happen.
But now it's here. Watch it go to work for you!
When I got my Roll Your Own Cigarette Machine in the mail I opened the box, pulled the machine out, and started making cigarettes right away. But that's just part of the story.
Just like when I was a kid and I got a Christmas present, I wanted to see what was inside the box and play with it right away. Oh, I knew I was suppose to read all the instructions and directions first, but I wanted to see how the machine worked right away.
I remember the night before Christmas one year, I had bought a new bike for my son and was trying to put it together. I decided, for once, I would read all the directions and instructions before trying to put this bike together.
(I am famous for not reading the directions or instructions and just moving ahead and putting parts together and I almost always have parts left over.) Well, I opened the instructions and to my surprise they were printed in Spanish.
I turned the page over, thinking that the English print would be on that side. And what do you think was there, French, every word was in French.
Boy was I teed off.
So here I am late at night on Christmas Eve trying to put this new bike together without instructions. Well, I finally got it put together and guess what...no parts left over.
The truth is, when I got my Roll Your Own Cigarette Machine in the mail it felt just like Christmas to me. And guess what? It comes with complete instructions (with pictures) and written in plain English. It's ready to use right out of the box.
Your Roll Your Own Cigarette Machine is easy as one, two, three:
Step 1. Pour tobacco into the hopper.
Step 2. Add a filtered cigarette tube.
Step 3. Push a button.
Step 4. You have a perfect cigarette.
Step 5. Make a pack of cigarettes in 2 minutes.
Watch the video at the top of the page to see Your Roll Your Own Cigarette Machine in action!
Until now, only the major cigarette companies could afford Roll Your Own Cigarette Machine But now - its not as expensive as you think.
If you are a carton a week smoker, like me. You spend anywhere from $37.00 to $77.00 a carton each week on cigarettes depending on the state you live in. So that means you could save money with this machine after only 2 months if you spend $77.00 a week on cigarettes. Or if you spend $47.00 a week on cigarettes you could save money with the Roll Your Own Cigarette Machine after only 4 ½ months.

Trying to determine if any correlation exists for head gasket failure and yr and tranny type of the SC. I looked through some of the other hg polls, but didn't see anything that mentioned which tranny the car had. I'd like to know more by specific yr, but didn't have enough options in the poll. Please give specific yr in a reply. If you swapped tranny's from what the car had stock then do not reply. However, if you changed hg's and did a tranny swap and the hg's blew again indicate based on what tranny was in the car.
I'm primarily interested in cars that are relatively stock or only mildly modded.
I'll be looking at ratio's of nr of cars produced for given yr to the nr of auto's and 5-speeds produced for same yr.
