Joe Sahli's '34 Ford Three-Window Coupe
Whenever we go to a hot rod show, we come back with a story or two about some humorous remarks we overheard from spectators. Don't you? Whether it's somebody arguing with a car owner about how he built his car, or a self-taught expert impressing his girlfriend with imaginary historical facts, the things people say can be pretty entertaining.
The comment we heard recently at the Goodguys Spring Nationals in Scottsdale, Arizona-where Joe Sahli's 1934 Ford three-window coupe, the one you're looking at right now, was an award winner-wasn't arrogant or ignorant, but it did make us laugh. As Joe's coupe cruised through the show grounds, everyone's eyes on it, one guy a few feet away from us pointed with excitement as he shouted to his buddy, "There's one like the ZZ Top car!"
It's true that the ZZ Top Eliminator '33 Ford, like Joe's '34, is a full-fendered, three-window coupe with a small-block engine. The Eliminator appeared in the early '80s and is a reflection of the style of the early '80s. Joe's '34, which appeared in 2010, is a reflection of the style that began in the '50s and has endured to this day. Something tells us that when Joe's three-window is as old as the Eliminator is now, it will not look dated.
It's no surprise that Joe's interest in cars began in the '50s as well. He was just a kid back then-a kid whose dad was co-owner of a car dealership. Joe worked as a lot boy, detailing Mercedes, Edsels, and Studebakers, gaining a love for cars, and earning some hands-on experience.
He says he's always loved '34 Fords. He owned a cabriolet for a few years, but the car he always wanted was a three-window. And that's what he finally got in 2006 when he bought this one from a friend. The friend had found the car in Nebraska a year earlier, in complete condition except for an engine and drivetrain. Once the coupe got to Phoenix, Joe took it to Hot Rods by Dean on the north side of town, where the serious work began.
Framerails from American Stamping provide the skeleton for the chassis. This is one area where Joe and the crew at Hot Rods by Dean went way beyond traditional styling. In back, there's a fully polished stainless steel Heidts Superide independent rear suspension setup, including 10-1/2-inch Wilwood inboard disc brakes and dual adjustable Aldan coilovers on each side. The independent front suspension is also a Heidts package with Wilwood brakes and Aldan coilovers.
Things are equally impressive underhood, where the firewall has been painted cream to better show off the dressed-up Chevy 350 small-block. This is no "everybody-has-one" 350, but a 383 Extreme Performer from Smeding Performance in Rancho Cordova, California, built off of a blueprinted GM four-bolt block with a stroker crank, hypereutectic pistons, and other high-performance internals, in addition to Edelbrock RPM Performer aluminum heads topped with Mooneyes finned valve covers. With the right setup, these engines can produce make horsepower and torque numbers in the mid-400 range. The induction system on this one came from Larry Fulton at Automotion Rochester Carburetor Service in Great Falls, Montana, who specializes in tri-power Rochester 2GC carburetion. Hooker headers flow into a 2-1/2-inch polished exhaust built at Hot Rods by Dean and a pair of Borla stainless mufflers. The Vintage Air Front Runner serpentine belt system, Joe Hunt ignition, and retro-style beehive oil filter are other cool elements. Alger Stowers at A&S Transmissions in Glendale, Arizona, built the Turbo 700-R4 transmission. The 9-inch rearend in the Superide contains a 3.70:1 differential.
The coupe body is all Ford steel, with the exception of the Rootlieb steel hood. All bodywork, including the 3-inch top chop, was done at Hot Rods by Dean. Kerr West Plating in Phoenix re-chromed the stock front and rear bumpers, with Guide headlights lighting the way. Bell Glass, also in Phoenix, installed all the fresh window glass. Back at Hot Rods by Dean, painter Chris Walker shot the PPG gray-green paint on the body, dash, and frame. The 15- and 16-inch rims from Wheelsmith were painted cream. Radials from Diamond Back Classic Tires measure P195/65R15 and P235/70R16 and, as you noticed, now wear smooth sidewalls.
Joe told us it wasn't easy finding the right color interior material to match the paint, but he did succeed and the two-tone tuck 'n' roll is one of the most attention-getting components of the car. Sid Chavers in Santa Clara, California, used green and cream leather to cover the Glide bench seat, modified for the coupe at Hot Rods by Dean. The design extends onto the door panels and into the trunk, and complements the German square weave carpeting. Dennis Crooks at Quality Restorations in Poway, California, restored the steering wheel to just like new.
Joe wisely (in our opinion) maintained the stock gauges, refurbished with new workings. He also hid the sound system. The Ford and Pioneer speakers are out of sight, the Custom Autosound Secretaudio controller is stashed inside the Arvin heater, and the receiver is located in the glovebox. The vents and controls for the Vintage Air A/C are hidden as well. The car was wired at Hot Rods by Dean using an American Autowire harness.
We got our first look at the '34 coupe at the '10 Grand National Roadster Show, where it earned an award in the Altered Street Coupe Pre-1935 class. These photos were taken between that event and the Goodguys show in Scottsdale, where we overheard the "ZZ Top car" comment. We don't know how many other comments were made about Joe's three-window at either of those shows, but something tells us that there were a lot of them and that all of them were praise.

Your lifestyle can play an important role in managing cold sores. By making certain lifestyle changes, you may be able to reduce the number of outbreaks you have. You may also be able to reduce the symptoms and their severity.
- Avoid excessive exposure to the sun.
- Reduce physical and emotional stress.
- Practice good hygiene habits.
- Get adequate sleep and eat a healthful diet.
Sunlight is known to cause outbreaks of cold sores. Although it is impossible to avoid all sun exposure there are steps to decrease the sun's effect. Use sunscreen on your lips and skin. Also, whenever you go outside in sunny weather, wear a large-brimmed hat. This will help to protect your face from the ultraviolet rays.
Physical and emotional stress may reduce the body's ability to fight herpes simplex virus (HSV). This can trigger an outbreak of cold sores. Exercise may actually help to reduce emotional stress. However, an excessive amount of exercise can weaken the body. Relaxation techniques , such as meditation and deep breathing, can help to reduce emotional stress.
Good hygiene can prevent the spread of cold sores. It can also help to reduce the length and severity of the outbreaks. During an outbreak:
- Avoid touching the sores. Especially avoid contact with any open cuts on your skin.
- Wash your hands often during the day.
- Take care not to spread the virus to other parts of your body, such as the eyes and genital area.
The body heals fastest when it receives rest and good nutrition. Strive for a good night's sleep. Eat a balanced, healthful diet on a daily basis.

An Oregon man ended his wild Friday night by being twice compacted in a garbage truck, according to reports.
Justin Gilpatrick, 27, spent the night in a dumpster to sober up after deciding he was too drunk to drive home, KGW.com reported. Gilpatrick awoke when a hauler picked up the dumpster he was in and proceeded to twice compact the load of garbage with him inside.
After parking the truck at a nearby shopping mall, the driver finally heard Gilpatrick screaming from inside, Yahoo! News reported.
U.S. & World
He escaped with minor injuries and was simply "shaken up," Police Lt. Robert King told KGW.
The reveler was so unaffected that he needed to be convinced to wait for an ambulance instead of walking away, a Waste Management spokeswoman told KGW.
Gilpatrick took to Facebook after leaving the hospital. "I have not had a drink in years and the one time I do this I what happens. I will never drink again," he wrote, according to the Daily Mail.

This blog has been gathering dust lately. It's been so long since I did a post on food. I have been unable to use this space as frequently as I would have liked to for various reasons… work, the holidays, friends visiting, complete loss of interest for a bit and lack of motivation and just LIFE in general…
The New Year is a time for new beginnings and on that note, I bring to you my first post of 2008 - Chocolate Balsamic Truffles.
I tried my hand at making truffles yesterday. I was inspired by Giada's recipe that I saw on Everyday Italian. The process is a little time-consuming, not to mention messy, and I quickly realized that they weren't as easy to make as they had seemed when I had first watched the segment on her show. I was however, pleased with the way they turned out and the end result was definitely well worth the effort. The truffles tasted absolutely heavenly and simply melt in your mouth.
I've tweaked the original recipe a bit and this is how I did it.
10 oz dark chocolate
½ cup heavy cream
3 tsp balsamic vinegar
For coating the truffles:
Cocoa powder
Chopped and toasted walnuts
Toasted coconut
Cut the chocolate blocks into small, even pieces (this helps melting it uniformly easier) and place in a microwave- safe bowl.
Heat the heavy cream in a pan till small bubbles begin to form along the edges and it almost starts to boil.
Combine the cream and chocolate to form a ganache that is smooth and without lumps. (If the chocolate doesn't melt completely, just pop the bowl in the microwave for 10-15 seconds)
Add the balsamic vinegar and mix well.
Cool the ganache completely, cover and let it sit in the refrigerator for an hour or two till it is firm and has set.
Using a spoon, scoop up the ganache and place on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper (I managed to get 20 medium sized balls.)
With extremely clean hands, roll and shape the ganache into small balls. (I had some trouble here as the chocolate started to melt and my hands began to get sticky. I just popped it in the freezer for 5 minutes before continuing to round out the balls.)
Roll each truffle around in your chosen topping. I made three kinds -some with a dusting of cocoa, some with a coating of coarsely ground and toasted walnuts and some others covered with lightly toasted coconut flakes.
I don't think that these can be stored for a very long time, but I have read in a couple of places that they will keep well for at least 2-3 weeks if refrigerated and stored in an airtight container. Let the truffles return to room temperature before serving.
I don't expect my truffles to last long enough for their shelf life to be a concern!
This is going to Deepz at Letz Cook for JFI - Chocolate and to Bindiya who blogs at In Love with Food, for her chocolate fest.
Before I forget, I would like to thank Jaden and Hari Nayak for my personally signed copy of the cookbook "Modern Indian Cooking". It is a beautiful book with stunning pictures and some great recipes by Hari Nayak and Vikas Khanna. I am looking forward to trying out a couple of recipes from here in the coming months. Thanks once again!
Here's wishing all my blog buddies a very happy and prosperous 2008!

Wonder Woman Underneath
The theme was superheros but many celebrities played it safe. It was Christina Ricci then who took the inspiration and ran with a sense of humour.
Beneath the pink was a Wonder Woman suit that sucked in every inch. It was amazing. Her ass was amazing. Totally appropriate, very chic, and very, very sexy. And all of a sudden her forehead has found balance with the rest of her face.
But the most important question on her mind is: will you see Speed Racer? Or will Iron Man once again rule the box office next weekend? Me? I loved Iron Man so much I think I"ll see it again and take our nephews this time.

For Immediate Release
Three Weeks Left in Kickstarter Campaign to Fund AXED: the End of Green, a Film About Counteracting the Effects of Green Radicalism
The Film
Billings, MT – November 8, 2012 – AXED: The End of Green is an innovative new documentary from award-winning independent filmmaker Jeffrey D. King. It is currently in the fundraising stage and has been pledged some $17,282 from 153 backers so far. The team is ramping up their efforts for the final push and Mr. King is enthusiastic that he can reach his $50,000 goal by his November 30th, 1:59 AM EST deadline, especially now that the election is behind us. But not without more help from backers. He will not receive a dime unless the project is fully funded, to $50,000, the minimum needed to produce this film.
The subject has been touched on before, but Jeffrey and his crew maintain that their claim that this film will help effect the end of the green movement should not come as a surprise. While people like Al Gore and Lisa Jackson and things like Solyndra and Climategate have been conservative fodder many times over, these are seen by the makers of AXED as mere branches and blossoms on the tree that is the modern environmental movement. They instead seek to hack deep down to the roots and expose and cut off things at their source. Hence AXED. Not all by themselves, as they hope their film "will serve as a catalyst, a rallying point, for people concerned about abuses by the green movement in both government and the media, as well as to educate those not yet fully aware of what is going on around them. All that is really needed to bring this dangerous movement to its knee's is a well timed, well placed, and well delivered blow. What better time than now? What better place than here? What better medium than film?" to quote J. D.
The Message
Rather than slosh together a few nature scenes, economic statistics, and interviews, the film will pay attention to quality and detail, which are key to keeping the audience engaged. To this they need the right team, sufficient funding, and a plan both cohesive and comprehensive. But this is just the technical side of things. What are the actual points the film is trying to make? We have asked one member of his marketing team to give us a few of them. Here's what he has to say:
"The green movement has failed at it's stated and/or publicly acknowledged objectives. What many of the more sincere ones, who are the bulk of the movement but tend to be low in the ranks – this is a fairly standard arrangement in top-down movements – neglect is that economic growth, private property rights, and bottom-up, decentralized modes of organization and governance are actually all conducive to a healthy, clean environment, and not the other way around as maintained by many on the left. This is even more the case when these things are in combination. The benefits are multiplied. So when their goals are to save the environment and yet they fail exceedingly to do so, in many cases making things worse or creating new problems, no amount of political power they have accrued and policies they have implemented can be cited as evidence in their favor."
"The green movement has succeeded in co-opting the coercive power of government to achieve specific policies. But these policies do not help the environment, per se. What they accomplish in the main is to tie up resources, tie up jobs, tie up growth, and tie up our liberties. These things are not conducive to helping the environment and so can and often do cancel out the supposed benefits of the policies, if there even were any. Most rank-and-file greens don't seem to know this. They are well-meaning but easily manipulated. But I honestly think that the higher-ups do know it, yet it remains of little concern to them because their real intentions inevitably have little to do with clean air, clean water, or clean energy. Raw power is their motive. It is a hard thing for those who make it to the top to remain pure, to enact policies that some how don't increase their power. It is a rare person in such a position that does not seek to use corrupt means to magnify it. I take a few pages from Hayek on this: the worst rise to the top, but also Lord Acton: Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely."
But there is an upside:
"Free Markets work! They are essentially an amalgamation of voluntary exchanges between individuals and groups of individuals. Things that can be exchanged are goods and services, which can include anything and everything that can possibly be traded for something else. Such exchanges would not occur if they were not beneficial to all the parties involved. Not unless coercion or fraud is a factor, but these things would are to be discouraged, prohibited even. Neither of these is present in a consistent free market system, by definition. And just how is such a system conducive to preservation of the environment? Because it is not in anyone's best interest (in a system which discourages coercion and fraud) to pollute or erode or use up because the consumer will do his business elsewhere, once he realizes how detrimental it is to him in the long run. The facts can not be hidden from him if he has the initiative and faculties to uncover them and seek out alternatives, and there are no state-sanctioned roadblocks in his way. That's what competition is! We do not have truly free markets these days."
"Federalism works! It is a system of interlocking voluntary compacts on various levels of jurisdiction. It does not root out all problems by itself but it keeps the powers that be jealous for the loyalty of their shared or potential individual members. Ideally, like any other form of competition, the main beneficiary is the consumer, i.e., the citizen. The more levels of federalism there are the more competition, which is why when we essentially only have two levels vying for the hearts and minds of the people, one of them is at the mercy of the other, and they are both as far away from the individual as possible, the products, these jurisdictions, are greatly diminished in quality. We have not had true federalism for close to a century, some would say more. It has been eroding since the day the Constitution was ratified."
So instead of just decrying the problems that they see, they will offer up solutions and ways to take charge so the that same problems do not arise again.
The Perks
Backers for the project can pledge any amount of $1 or more. Backers who pledge $5 or more will be credited in the film. Backers who give an amount of $25 or greater will not only star in the credits, they will receive special thank-you gifts in the mail. What these gifts are depends on the specific amount, at intervals of $25, $42, $60, $125, $250, $500, $750, $1,000, $2,000, $5,000, and $10,000. As a sort of extra incentive, the gifts handed out for amounts of $1,000 or more, have a limit of how many of these gifts can be claimed. First come first served on those, but there is no limit for the other rewards.
The Producer-Director
Jeffrey D. King (J. D.) is a 21 year old independent filmmaker from the Big Hole area of Montana. There he grew up in a ranching community and became familiar with many of the subjects the film will delve into. Growing up under the Big Sky gave him not just a love for the world around him, the environment, but also a love for freedom. His previous film (Crying Wolf, 2011), about the reintroduction of wolves into Yellowstone National Park, was the 2012 winner of the SAICFF "Best Creation" Jubilee Award. He was a self-taught filmmaker from a young age. An ambitious and passionate young man with a hunger for the truth, he has a B.S.B.A. in Business Management from Thomas Edison State College and makes his living making commercials and promotional videos. He currently resides around Billings, Montana.

Welcome to Christian Nationalist Forum
Hello Christian Female. Welcome to this Christian Nationalist Forum.
Christian Female -- which is what she wants to be known as upon first application -- asked me via e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com to join this forum. She gave her reasons why she wants to join this forum, and the reasons seemed good, so I gave her this login name and assigned her a password which she can change as she sees fit.
However, this Forum isn't exactly a very busy place other than as a form of interactive blog mainly for myself regarding the overall bowel Movement in general and See-Eye Dentistry in particular. Rather, people who I know or who want to write something and have a place to place their material have a place to post that material. You are only the second person in as many months to post here other than myself and sundry sock-possums and sundry accounts of interest.
The other supposedly "See-Eye Dentist" forums, like those of Jeromy Visser, i.e. The Pisser-Possum's CherokeePisspulMamzeries.cum, and Rabbi Baal Finck, i.e. Finckelgonnerrhea.cum, are nothing other than jews, mamzers, and ZOGbots pretending to be Aryan Christian Israelites. Obie-gender-bender's forum is one of a tranny mamzer supposedly named Robert Hancock who is a total hypocrite and who has nobody much other than Obie-gender-bender.
The other forum which is starting up is owned by Phil Morrow, who takes Comparetian Dual-Seedline Christian Identity seriously. I'd recommend joining his new forum for now and helping him grow it some, as a phpbb forum for general activity.
Hail Victory!!!

The point system for the various rankings has been under review for a long time to achieve the best possible result to start with. It might not be perfect yet but a good starting point to validate a fair ranking.
Read more about the individual disciplines, calculations, discards and major disciplines in 2009
One of the major issues has been how to deal with the different freestyle styles of KPWT and PKRA. After long discussions and consultations of the affected parties as well as riders and independent sources, the majority describes the PKRA judging focus being clearly on wakestyle, while the focus if the KPWT judging is more "allround". The problem was to describe in one word what you have to expect, so all other combinations failed. Until we find something better we therefore call KPWT judging "Freestlye" and PKRA judging "Wakestyle".
As the judging criteria differ so much we found it worth to award two major disciplines in 2009 with seperate titles. During the course of the year the main focus of the judging sub-committee will be to find a way to unite the two styles into one judging guideline. If this committee, made up from judges from both tours and national associations, come to the conclusion that it is not possible to unite them as they are too different - then be it like that.
The other diciplines are more clear. Waves - should be judged as waveriding and not as freestyle in the waves. Course racing will be accompanied by downwind racing - this is kiteslalom, crossings, long distance, downwind dashes... The definition is all races with an upwind part of more than app. 20% are considered course racing, those with an upwind part of less than 20 % are considered downwind racing. Speed is clear as well, with only one major discipline in 2009 - the standard offshore speed course.
The overall title is determined by a combination of the various disciplines: each rider can bring his individual points from waves, the better result from freestyle or wakestyle, the better result from course racing or downwind racing, and the result from speed into the ranking. But how are the points calculated and how is ensured that the most important discipline, freestyle/wakestyle, is accordingly counted ?
Well, thats quite easy. Each event is graded due to its importance and the price money, beside other factors. The points for each rider are calculated by a confusing looking formula. Let us explain...
While the number of participants on a freestyle event is more or less the same, it might differ on racing events. And of course it is harder to achieve a fifth place from one hundred competitors than from only ten. Thus the number of competitors is considered to calculate the points for each rank. An example: On a continental championship without price money, the base factor is 5. This means, the winner of the event scores 5x100 points= 500 points. With 50 competitors, the second one gets 490 points, the third one 480 etc. On an event with only 20 competitors, the point differences become bigger: the forst one still gets 500 points, while the second gets 475 points, the third one 450 points etc. Sounds difficult, but it is quite logical. We will provide a sample chart later on for your own test calculations.
SO how does this affect the overall ranking ? The higher ranked the events are, the more points you get. Which means that a freestyle/wakestyle events usually is graded as super grand slam with factor 8 or 9, giving the winner 800 or 900 points depending on the amount of pricemoney. A racing event is usually graded factor 3 or 4, giving the winner 300 or 400 points depending on the price money. With a maximum of 7 events counting for each discipline ranking this automatically allows for the importance of each discipline towards the overall ranking. Speed for example with probably only three low graded events will give not that many points and is thus not so important for the overall. Which doesnt mean that this could be the missing points to become the overall champion... The idea behind is simple: to encourage riders which are seriously going for the overall title to take part also in disciplines they are not specialised in and thus bring more interest to all disciplines.
Finally, the discards. We have discussed that for a long time as well, and came to the conclusion that more than seven events are not reasonable. We will see how this works and may adopt it for the next season. For now, we are sure that we have found a good compromise for a fair ranking.

About Jeff Masters
Cat 6 lead authors: WU cofounder Dr. Jeff Masters (right), who flew w/NOAA Hurricane Hunters 1986-1990, & WU meteorologist Bob Henson, @bhensonweather
By: Dr. Jeff Masters , 2:02 PM GMT on August 01, 2012
A tropical wave (Invest 99L) near 11°N 47°W, about 1000 miles east of the Lesser Antilles Islands, is showing increasing organization, and has the potential to develop into a tropical depression today or tomorrow as it moves westward at 15 - 20 mph. Visible satellite loops show that the disturbance now has two respectable low-level spiral bands, one to the north and one to the south, and a moderate amount of heavy thunderstorms near the center. The thunderstorm activity has not changed much in intensity this morning. A well-defined surface circulation is not evident on satellite images, but last night's 8:30 pm EDT pass from the ASCAT satellite showed a broad, elongated center with light winds had formed. Water vapor satellite loops show that 99L has a reasonably moist environment, and the latest Saharan air layer analysis shows that the dry air from the Sahara is not present in large quantities over the central tropical Atlantic. WInd shear over the disturbance has increased some since Tuesday, and is now at the moderate level, 10 - 15 knots. Ocean temperatures are 28°C, (82°F) which is about 0.5°C above average for this time of year.
Figure 1. Morning satellite image of Invest 99L.
Figure 2. Vertical instability over the tropical Atlantic in 2012 (blue line) compared to average (black line.) The instability is plotted in °C, as a difference in temperature from near the surface to the upper atmosphere. Thunderstorms grow much more readily when vertical instability is high. Instability has been lower than average, due to an unusual amount of dry, sinking air in the atmosphere, reducing the potential for tropical storm formation. Image credit: NOAA/NESDIS/CIRA.
Forecast for 99L
Wind shear is expected to remain light to moderate, 5 - 15 knots, through Friday, ocean temperatures will remain near 28°C, and mid-level moisture will be a moderate 60 - 70%, according to the 8 am EDT run of the SHIPS model. The disturbance has gained a bit of latitude and is now at 11°N, which will help it leverage the Earth's spin more to acquire its own spin. These conditions are probably sufficient for 99L to become Tropical Depression Five, with Thursday being the most likely day for this to happen. However, the reliable computer models are not very eager to develop 99L, and none show it becoming a hurricane over the next five days. This is probably because the atmosphere over the tropical Atlantic is unusually stable for this time of year (Figure 2), with large-scale areas of dry, sinking air present. Climatologically, we see very few Cape Verdes-type hurricanes forming near the Lesser Antilles Islands this early in August, and I expect 99L will struggle at times over the next few days. This is particularly likely if 99L goes north of 13°N, where a band a high wind shear of 20 - 40 knots associated with the subtropical jet stream lies. At 8 am Wednesday, NHC gave 99L a 60% chance of developing into a tropical depression by Friday morning. Residents and visitors to the Lesser Antilles Islands should anticipate heavy rains and strong winds from 99L beginning to affect the islands as early as Friday morning. The long-range fate of 99L next week is uncertain, but a track west to west-northwest through the Caribbean is the most popular solution from the models.

Two typhoons headed towards China
In the Western Pacific, typhoon season is in full swing with two typhoons headed towards China. The more dangerous of the two is Category 2 Typhoon Saola, which is predicted to skirt the northern coast of Taiwan and hit mainland China 300 miles south of Shanghai on Friday as a Category 3 typhoon. Typhoon Damrey, a Category 1 storm located just south of Japan, is expected to hit China about 150 miles north of Shanghai on Thursday at Category 1 strength.
Extreme heat in Oklahoma
The withering heat in America's heartland continued on Tuesday, with the prize for most ridiculous heat a 113° temperature recorded in Chandler, Oklahoma. A close second: Tulsa hit 112°, just 3° below the city's all-time high of 115° set on August 10, 1936. The low temperature in Tulsa was 88° Tuesday morning, tying the record for warmest low temperature in city history set just the previous day. Six locations in Oklahoma hit 112° or hotter Tuesday, and the forecast calls for highs near 112° again today over portions of Oklahoma.
Extreme dryness in the Central U.S.
A few final tallies for July precipitation are in, and several U.S. cities in the heart of the drought region set new records for driest July:
Joplin, MO: 0.00" (ties record set in 1946)
Springfield, MO: 0.32" (previous record 0.33" in 1953)
Sioux Falls, SD: 0.24" (previous record, 0.24" in 1947, normal is 3.09")
Record early snow melt in the Austrian Alps
One of the longest meteorological data records at high altitude comes from Sonnblick, Austria, on a mountaintop in the Alps with an elevation of 3106 meters (10,200 feet.) The observatory typically sees maximum snow depths of 3 - 4 meters (10 - 13 feet) during winter. According to weather records researcher Maximiliano Herrera, the snow had never completely melted at Sonnblick until the summer of 1992. Complete snow melt did not happen again until August 12, 2003, and has happened an average of once every two years since then--but always in September. Yesterday, on July 31, the snow completely melted at Sonnblick, the earliest melting since record keeping began in 1886. It's been an exceptionally hot summer in Austria, which experienced its 6th warmest June since record keeping began in 1767. Sonnblick Observatory recorded its all-time warmest temperature of 15.3°C (60°F) on June 30. Vienna hit 37.7°C (100°F) that day--the hottest temperature ever measured in June in Austria. Note that the two mountains in the Alps with long climate records, Saentis in Switzerland and Zugspitze in Germany, beat their records for earliest melting last year in 2011 (Saentis beat the previous record of 2003, and Zugspitze tied the record set in 2003.)

January 3, 1964: Time magazine honors Martin Luther King, Jr. with a "Man Of The Year" cover story: "The Invisible Man has now become plainly visible — in bars, restaurants, boards of education, city commissions, civic committees, theaters and mixed social activities, as well as in jobs." January 3, 2008: Illinois senator Barack Obama wins the 2008 Democratic Iowa caucus. Time's Joe Klein writes: "That day has now come, at the highest level of American politics. A black man with a dangerous-sounding foreign name trounced his opponents in the nearly all-white state of Iowa. And he did so because, after spending months getting to know him, the people of Iowa stopped seeing his color and began to admire his character." What a difference 44 years make. [Time, Time]

Countdown to NYCC part 2
by Chris Troy
Hey FPNYC faithful, in a few short hours, yours truly will be at the Javitis Center, fan-gasming over the nerdfest that is the 2011 New York Comic Con. Despite being a show veteran, this is my favorite convention of the year, and I'm really excited to see what the likes of Marvel, DC, Dark Horse, Image, Bioware, & Capcom have to offer to the attendees this year. And depending on security, I may decide to stalk Captain America himself Chris Evans come Saturday. For you know, article research related reasons. REALLY!
Last article we focused on a lot of the comic goodness that will be at NYCC. I'm not saying I won't be talking about the onslaught of Marvel Universe figures we received over these last 2 weeks later on in the article, but I decided to focus on something a little more animated first. Cartoon Network & Adult Swim will have a large presence at NYCC once again this year, hosting a ton of panels with sneak peeks of a lot of their new and returning program. Regular offenders Jackson Publick and Doc Hammer will be in attendance, talking about their hit show "The Venture Bros". And in case you want something other than DVDs signed by the duo, FPNYC currently has in stock the 8′ Venture Bros classic Mego-style figures (or dolls, if you're up for the particular debate). The 1st 2 waves in the series consist of the likes of Hank and Dean Venture, their old man Dr. Venture, Brock Samson, the (mighty) Monarch, and "humorless #$@!" Phantom Limb. These retro style-figures go for about $15-$20 a pop, and probably wont be around long, given the show's rabid fanbase.
We also received a ton of product from Cartoon Network's newest revival hit, the Thundercats! Bandai-Namco will also be at NYCC, but I'm none too certain if they'll be much of a push for the show at the convention. That doesn't mean a trip to FPNYC to check in on these figures isn't warranted. Bandai has released 2 different toy lines based on the new show (as well as some toys based on the 80s versions as well!). There's a line of 6″ figures consisting of the likes of Lion-O, Panthro, & Mumm-Ra (The Ever-Living!), as well as 2 different 4″ figure lines, one standard line that covers most of the show's cast, and a deluxe one that comes with big-honking accessories. Prices range anywhere from $10-$20 depending on the figures, so keep an eye out for them on our shelves the new time you come by. Continue reading

Ubuntu is quite good for linux beginners, but their repositories are out of date. If you want the newest version, you always have to find the *.deb or install it from source, which is not that pleasant if you're not used to it. That's the reason I'm moving on to archlinux. It's a load of work to install a full GUI desktop on it, but you'll have exactly what you want and you will know exactly how it works. Also, the software in their repositories is very up-to-date
And I can understand why you want 0.9.30. It was the first version I found pleasant to work with (one debugger issue was finally gone).
I have to give that docking package a try too. I found it annoying to have all those IDE windows live separately on my taskbar. Thanks for that

The Acer Aspire 5710Z has gone on sale in Singapore pre-loaded with Ubuntu Linux instead of Windows. Ubuntu is currently one of the world's most popular and easiest-to-use Linux distributions.
But a spokesperson for Acer told ZDNet.co.uk on Tuesday that the company — one of the world's top laptop manufacturers — had "no plans" to sell any Linux-based systems in the UK. "[Acer models] with Ubuntu pre-loaded are available at the factory level. However, there is no demand for it in the UK. Therefore, those configurations are not an option [for UK customers] at the moment," said the spokesperson.

Yesterday I had a spare 30 minutes while dinner was cooking so I thought I would do a quick UK census search as I have been having quite a lot of success finding families that I couldn't find years ago while searching through microfilms.
My gg grandmother was Harriet Judge who was born in Brackley, Northamptonshire in 1840 and she married George Gardiner in 1860 in London. A quick search found them in Tottenham, Middlesex with a daughter Mary Jane. No wonder I never found her in microfilms for Brackley, Northamptonshire and how much easier it is today doing online searching.
However a similar quick search didn't find them in 1871 and after trying a few searches on George, Harriet and Mary Jane I skipped to the 1881 census and there they were with quite a few more children but at the same address as 1861. So back to the 1871 census as it looked liked they hadn't moved.
I tried looking for the other children's names but no luck. Then surname variations Gardiner, Gardener, Gordiner, Gordener and as dinner was well and truly cooked by this time, the family started stomping round saying 'we want dinner'! While I would have preferred to stay and solve the puzzle, I quickly put a message on my Twitter account @HicksShauna expressing my frustration, not expecting any response.
However, when I went back to Twitter some hours later I had all these messages with various suggestions including perhaps they were visiting elsewhere, or even that they had gone to Australia for a visit, plus tips for just searching on given names and also surname variations. It was really pleasing to see that others were intrigued with my problem and so willing to share their own experiences and knowledge.
One person even said if I sent the details they would have a quick look for me. So I did and within the shortest time possible, he messaged back that he had found them under Gardner. With hindsight I can't think why I didn't think of that variation, perhaps it was because I was trying to do it quickly and the family were hassling me for dinner. A lesson here is don't try and multi task! Research is a serious business.
Anyway I had know found Harriet in both 1861 and 1871 census and that proved that she did not raise her daughter Elizabeth Judge born in 1857 as part of her family with George Gardiner.
So this still leaves me with the problem of who did raise Elizabeth as she does not appear in the census returns for her grandparents John and Hannah Judge in Brackley, Northamptonshire. In fact, and I hesitate to say this, I still can't find Elizabeth Judge in the 1861 and 1871 census. I know she married Thomas Price in 1878 in Staffordshire and they immigrated to Queensland, Australia that same year. Elizabeth must have been somewhere and I assume it was under the name Judge as that is on her birth and marriage certificates. When I have some more uninterrupted time, I will revisit this brickwall and try again.
The real point of this blog is not for others to solve my brickwalls for me but to highlight the value that Twitter can bring to genealogy. In an earlier blog, Using Twitter For Genealogy, I pointed out all the reasons why I like Twitter. My experience yesterday reaffirms my belief that it is a wonderful resource for those researching their family history and that others are only too willing to help with suggestions that we might not think of ourselves.
If you are not using Twitter, but reading this blog and do go back and read my earlier blog, I encourage you to have a look at Twitter as a genealogy resource. I don't think you will be disappointed.
I have loads of Gardiners or variants thereof in my tree. As my tree is mostly Scottish I always try Gairdiner or similar as in Scotland the name is pronounced Gay-rdiner as opposed to Gah-rdiner. If anyone is trying to trace Scottish Gardiners I would give it a try as the person writing it down would probably have had it said to them as Gay-rdiner.
Genealogists have always helped each other. Message boards and Forums have always been a popular way for genies to communicate online, and newer platforms such as Genealogywise. Twitter makes it more instant of course which is what we want when we are on a roll with research (even while cooking dinner… been there..) Geneabloggers recently ran a posting on genealogists Giving Back – http://www.geneabloggers.com/52-weeks-genealogy-challenge-44-giving/
Also like all problems we have in life, it helps to talk about them!

Is Bret Michaels heading back to work too soon with his plans to compete on NBC's Sunday night finale of "Celebrity Apprentice"?
A source claimed to Access Hollywood on Friday that Bret is acting against doctor's orders with his anticipated "Apprentice" return – however, the star is determined to come and, not only that, expects to win.

Bret was recently hospitalized for the third time in recent weeks, this time for a "warning stroke," upon which a hole in his heart was discovered. He is currently receiving outpatient care and plans to arrive in New York City by plane on Saturday.
However, a rep for the star told Access on Friday that the rocker isn't taking "any undue risks."

"Bret is a very passionate person and refuses to live his life curled up in a ball wondering if or when something else might happen," the rep said. "Being a type 1 diabetic, he has lived with struggles and complications since he was 6 years old, but he always tries to maintain positive attitude and seldom lets things get him down… these recent medical complications have been tough but he wants to continue to live his life, enjoy every day and get back on the road."
The rep added that Bret's heart condition, a Patent Foramen Ovale, is "operable and treatable," and the rocker is "taking two additional injections daily of a blood thinner" as part of his care.
"As his friends and staff we are all making sure that he is not taking any [undue] risks and we are certainly taking every precaution possible to insure his health and well being," the rep said. "If and when something else occurs we will deal with it at that time."

Bret's physician, Dr. Joseph Zambraski, said in a separate statement to Access that Bret was "determined to get healthy."
"I realize Bret wants to make a full recovery so that he can be active with his family, attend the finale of 'Celebrity Apprentice,' and get back on the road to continue making music," he said in the statement. "However, Bret's brain and body are not yet 100 percent, especially with this recent episode."

He did not state either way if he had advised Bret on his potential "Apprentice" participation.
Earlier in the week, Bret's "Apprentice" competition, Holly Robinson Peete, told Access' Tony Potts that Bret's health was her priority.
"In the end, it's a show and health is more important than anything," she said.

Develop a healthy brain
Your brain did not come fully assembled at birth. Through the natural processes of maturation and experience, your brain is being created anew at every moment to support all of your thinking, deciding and behaviour. The ongoing creation of your brain is a dynamic process. Education - at any age - is critical. Because that is when you can develop the key experiences that will develop your brain in a healthy manner. And, you need a healthy brain to think and act successfully.
Transcendental Meditation is the only meditation technique to create widespread brainwave coherence - to make the brain healthier and able to function together as a whole. The experience of "restfull alertness" during TM creates the optimum condition to unfold your full potential, for maximum intelligence and creativity in a completely effortless way.
Success without stress
Reducing stress is essential because it is a drain on energy and interferes with functions such as attention, memory, organisation and integration. Prolonged stress can actually kill brain cells and shrink the brain's main memory structures. Stress can also bring about health problems.
The mind and body gain a deep level of rest and relaxation during Transcendental Meditation which dramatically diminishes the build up of stress and tiredness, leaving you feeling more refreshed, more settled and the mind more clear.
"Heavy workloads and deadlines are stressful. Transcendental Meditation helps me to manage my time and develop synchronicity. My friends often have power naps when they are studying and I tell them TM is like having a super power nap."
- Alfie Wellcoat

Influential Southern Baptist leaders are seeking to move the country's largest Protestant denomination – and one of its more conservative – beyond its skeptical stance on climate change to keep step with a growing 'green' awareness in the evangelical community.
A call to action on the environment, released Monday by 46 pastors and institutional leaders, "challenges Southern Baptists to be more proactive ... more aggressive and more informed," says Daniel Akin, president of Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary in Wake Forest, N.C.
Just last June, the politically and theologically conservative Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) passed a resolution urging Baptists to proceed cautiously in the light of "conflicting scientific research."
But as more Evangelicals become actively engaged in what they call "creation care," concerns are growing that the SBC will be left behind. "Our cautious response to these issues in the face of mounting evidence may be seen by the world as uncaring, reckless and ill-informed. We can do better," the declaration says.
While it is an unofficial step, the declaration represents "a major step forward," according to David Gushee, a Baptist ethicist at Mercer University in Atlanta.
The initial spark for the action came from a young seminary student, Jonathan Merritt, son of a former SBC president, who pressed his case among a range of leaders. Frank Page, the current SBC president, and some former presidents are among those signing. Other prominent leaders did not, including Richard Land, president of the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission, the SBC's public-policy arm.
The commission's role is to promote official SBC positions, Dr. Land said in a statement, and it did not agree with the declaration's language that Southern Baptists have been "too timid." The SBC could have taken a similar environmental stand last June, he said, but "voted 60 to 40 percent" to remove language from its resolution that would have encouraged government initiatives.
Some evangelical leaders strongly criticize the growing involvement in "creation care," saying it diverts attention from the foremost issues of abortion and gay marriage. The split has been so bitter that a conservative group sought, unsuccessfully, to remove a vice president of the National Association of Evangelicals from his post due to his environmental advocacy.
The SBC leaders' declaration does not propose specific actions, as did the Evangelical Climate Initiative (ECI), backed by 85 leaders of various denominations in 2006. Instead, they pledge to "find ways to curb ecological degradation" in homes, businesses, and churches; encourage preaching on the subject; and seriously consider responsible policies.
"It doesn't go far enough," says Dr. Gushee, who helped draft the ECI, but it "reveals a spectrum of opinion" in the SBC that he finds encouraging.
The SBC leaders have no plans at the moment to present a new resolution at the denomination's annual meeting in June. Some leaders have already taken steps themselves, from buying hybrid cars to spurring "green" church initiatives. They say it's essential to offer a "moral voice" for action.
"The church too often winds up being at the end of the parade, a Johnny-come-lately, a classic example being the segregation and racism issue, when the church should have been at the forefront," says James Merritt, pastor of Cross Pointe Church in Duluth, Ga. "We have a responsibility ... and that's why I believe many have gladly signed on."

Matt Damon's already talked about kissing Michael Douglas while playing Liberace's gay lover and his own low-key life as a married father of three in excerpts from his recent Playboy interview released a few weeks ago.
Now the full interview is online, including Damon's thoughts about pal Clint Eastwood talking to an empty chair at the Republican National Convention, voting for President Obama again despite some very public reservations and whether he'd ever reteam with Ben Affleck, among other tidbits.
It's pretty revealing stuff for a guy who's usually reluctant to discuss his personal life.
U.S. & World
Matt Damon talks getting naked, straddling Michael Douglas in Liberace biopic
When asked about Clint's infamous RNC speech that launched a thousand memes, landed "Eastwooding" in the pop culture lexicon and caused the legendary actor-director a whole lot of flack, Damon demurred out of respect for his elder cinematic collaborator.
"Look, his knowledge of filmmaking is so vast and deep that he can wing it beautifully on the set. What he did at the RNC was an unrehearsed bit he decided to do at the last minute. You can't go onstage and do 12 minutes of stand-up completely unrehearsed," the 42-year-old thesp told the magazine. "But I agree with what Bill Maher said--Clint killed at the convention for 12 minutes, and the audience loved him. I wouldn't do that unless I spent a month rehearsing."
A year ago, Damon famously dissed Obama in a sit-down with Elle when he said he would have liked "a one term president with some balls who actually got stuff done." While he has since acknowledged throwing his support behind the prez's successful reelection bid, he doesn't regret the criticism he threw Obama's way.
"I don't think I said anything a lot of people weren't thinking," he said. "It's easier now more than ever in my life to feel the fix is in, the game is rigged and no matter how hard you work to change things, it just doesn't matter."
Matt Damon slams Obama's job performance in Elle
That outlook is one of the reasons he's teamed up with John Krasinksi to co-write and star in Promised Land, a story about corporate sales reps who convince economically strapped rural homeowners to sell their natural gas drilling rights to allow the controversial and environmentally damaging practice of fracking on their land.
Initially, Damon was going to make his helming debut on the project, but fearing burnout after acting in back-to-back films, he opted out and brought in longtime friend and collaborator Gus Van Sant.
"We're at a point where politicians don't really get any benefit from engaging with long-term issues. Instead, it's all about the next election cycle," he notes.
Matt Damon calls out Bourne Identity scribe for "career-ender" movie
When questioned whether he'd ever consider running for office himself, Matt offered an emphatic dismissal.
"No, no, no," he said.
Instead Damon is content with the life he's made for himself. Whether or not that will include working again with fellow Bostonian, BFF, and fellow Oscar winner Affleck, only time will tell, though the two are rumored to be teaming up for a biopic on Bean Town gangster Whitey Bulger.
"We're working on stuff yeah," Damon replied.

Ofili: Portrait Of Young Writer
Ofili: "This book conveys a message of survival and I do consider myself someone who has consistently been able to transform venom into adrenalin. This is definitely just the beginning stages and I feel that the sky is the limit. I am working hard everyday, I stay on the grind, I don't sleep. Sleep is forbidden as Diddy once said.�
Where She's From: Beautiful young writer Joy Ofili whose Zodiac sign is Cancer was born in Pennsylvania and raised in Harlem, New York.
"However, my family is from Nigeria,� she tells The Black Star News. "The most important thing that my mother taught me has been to take pride in my family tree because I am a descendent of greatness—and of course, great things are to be expected.�
Where She's At: "Currently I am a student at Hunter College in New York where I am majoring in psychology. I have been writing poetry for years and I am ecstatic that I have the opportunity to share my work with the world in my debut poetry book 'Poison: I No Longer Retreat,� she adds.

This is definitely just the beginning stages and I feel that the sky is the limit. I am working hard everyday, I stay on the grind, I don't sleep. Sleep is forbidden as Diddy once said.�
Where She's Heading: "I have a wide spectrum of aspirations, which include expanding my entrepreneurship, writing more books, and further advancing my education,� she continues. "I have learned to conquer my challenges by staying positive and eliminating people from my life who do not have my best interest in mind, and do not want me to succeed in my endeavors. I also conquer my challenges by ridding of that inner critique that tells me at times that 'I can't' or that 'I shouldn't' try because it would just be a waste of time."
"Being an author is something that I am very proud of,� she adds. "This project has been years in the making, and did not occur overnight. At times, I felt like giving up because the pressure took its toll, but fortunately, I saw this project through to its completion. Now when I look back, I can reminisce with a bright smile on my face, and I do.�
How does this attractive young writer dress to step out? "I love Armani Exchange Clothing, Lancôme makeup, and Victoria's Secret body lotions and scents. My favorite V.S. scent is Heavenly,� she says.
Ofili's Words Of Wisdom: "There are so many detractors and opportunists that prey on those who they consider as weak. The minute that you choose to give into their tactics, you have let them win and validated their power over you. So stay strong, stay positive, and remember that you determine your fate.�
Ofili's Secrets Of Success: "Dedication and belief in my craft.�
Ofili's Favorite Three Movies: "Dream Girls, John Q, and Honey.�
Ofili's Favorite Three Books: " Know Thyself, by Naim Akbar, A Rose that Grew From Concrete, by Tupac Shakur, and Rock My Soul by Bell Hooks.�

"The past folds accordion-like into the present," James Gleick writes in The Information: A History, A Theory, A Flood, his sweeping survey of how humans use information and how this practice, in turn, has shaped humanity. Gleick's book defies easy summary, but its most abiding insight is, in fact, its reminder that the so-called "Information Age" of the present has deep historical parallels dating back to the dawn of time.
Gleick concludes that information, now seen as the currency of the modern world, has always been the animating force of the planet, though in ways we have only recently begun to understand.
"We can now see that information is what our world runs on: the blood and the fuel, the vital principle," he tells readers. "It pervades the sciences from top to bottom, transforming every branch of knowledge.... Now even biology has become an information science, a subject of messages, instructions, and code. Genes encapsulate information and enable procedures for reading it in and writing it out. Life spreads by networking. The body itself is an information processor.
9 books Bill Gates thinks you should read
Memory resides not just in brains but in every cell.... DNA is the quintessential information molecule, the most advanced message processor at the cellular level – an alphabet and a code, 6 billion bits to form a human being."
The idea of the bit as a fundamental building block of information came from Claude Shannon, the man behind the theory of the book's subtitle. Gleick credits Shannon with creating the conceptual framework that allowed today's information economy to emerge.
Gleick's treatment of Shannon is the most technically challenging part of the book. E.B. White once warned that analyzing humor was like dissecting a frog, leaving one with an array of parts that seemed only dimly related to the subject. Gleick's narrative sometimes feels equally reductionist, particularly in the passages about Shannon, but "The Information" isn't always or even usually concerned with dry empiricism.
There's sheer pleasure in these pages, too, with many chapters resembling a Victorian curio cabinet, an intimate universe of items that have lively and unlikely connections. Gleick, who approvingly describes his hero Shannon as someone who "gathered threads like a magpie," proves quite a magpie himself, crafting a story that includes not only Aeschylus but AT&T, as well as Beethoven and Bell Labs, Darwin and domain names, "The Iliad," the telephone, and "The Great Soviet Encyclopedia."
And although he deals with what can seem like grimly mechanical formulations of information theory, Gleick is also alert to the human touch. In an opening chapter on the use of African drums to communicate across vast differences, for example, he notes that drummers aspired to something more richly complicated than the bare transmission of facts. Instead of simply saying "Come back home," drummers would tap out a poetic exhortation:
"Make your feet come back the way they went,/ make your legs come back the way they went,/ plant your feet and legs below,/ in the village which belongs to us."
Gleick's study of drums sets the stage for a continuing theme of the book – namely, the way that information history has been a point of intersection for science and the humanities. He notes the senior Oliver Wendell Holmes's 19th-century skepticism about the prospect of mechanical calculating machines, asserting that they could be nothing more than a "satire" of human intelligence. Think of it as an earlier version of the recent debate inspired by a computer's victory on the game show "Jeopardy!."
In his final chapters addressing contemporary information overload, Gleick reminds readers that here, too, there's not much new under the sun.
In 1621, reports Gleick, the Oxford scholar Robert Burton complained that in the wake of the printing press, there was simply too much news and literature to keep up with. Here, again, is Gleick: "As the printing press, the telegraph, the typewriter, the telephone, the radio, the computer, and the Internet prospered, each in its turn, people said, as if for the first time, that a burden had been placed on human communication: new complexity, new detachment, and a frightening new excess."
Gleick's book has been described as "ambitious," an earnest compliment that, in publishing circles, is often synonymous with back-breaking heft and ponderous pronouncement.
"The Information" is a long read, and as Gleick himself concedes, "When information is cheap, attention becomes expensive."
But as Gleick also points out, "information is not knowledge, and knowledge is not wisdom."
The information glut endures, but wisdom like Gleick's is harder to come by. That alone makes "The Information" worth the effort.
