Small Men in a Big World
A party of halflings sets out to rescue their kidnapped kinsfolk
Game Description:
The small village of Heawold is neither big nor special in any particular way. Whilst not prosperous the halflings who call it home are a generally very content lot. They live their lives busy producing fine wine and food that they enjoy as often as possible and occasionally trade to the dwarves of Nuledzar and the Goblins of Gorbul Town.

|The scar's comment is interesting, that shows promise, can you explain that?
|Also the way you describe him he doesn't sound all that capable, at least that how I imagine the elders would see him from what you have put down.
|Personality could work but an example of your connection and also you skill/talent/ability/willingness to protect the kids would make him more of a choice.
|Also are you committed to being in this for a the long term? Play by posts games don't move that quickly even when people are posting a half dozen times a week and just want to make sure ya know what ya signing up for.

Author Notes: I decided to rework an early recipe for sauteed mushrooms to fill tartlet shells. Shiitakes must be fully cooked, so I start them a little before the other varieties. I hope you like these as much as we do. —creamtea
Makes: 45-50 tartlets (with extra mushroom filling left over)
about 5
dried Shiitake mushrooms, tough stem ends completely removed
cup shelled walnuts
tablespoons olive oil
tablespoons unsalted butter
cloves garlic, minced
shallot, halved lengthwise and sliced thinly crosswise
sprigs fresh thyme
pound fresh Shiitake mushrooms, sectioned into fourths if large then sliced thinly crosswise
pound fresh Cremini mushrooms, halved and sliced crosswise
1/2 - 3/4
cups red wine (about 6 glugs)
sea salt and freshly-ground pepper to taste
packages pre-baked filo tartlet shells, each containing 15 shells
approximately 7 oz. round of Camembert, preferably from goats-milk. If you are feeling flush or having very special friends, Redwood Hill Farms Camellia is scrumptious, but the rounds are small so you may need extra rounds.
small amount of red-wine jelly such as Cabernet (optional) or
tablespoon fresh parsley, minced (optional)
In This Recipe
- Place dried mushrooms in a custard cup in hot water to cover until softened, about 1 hour. When soft, remove from soaking liquid and slice thinly. Strain soaking liquid to removed debris (a single-cup coffee cone and paper filter set over a small bowl or your favorite coffee cup works well for this. Be sure to drink up your coffee first. You should have about 1/2 cup liquid, more or less is ok.
- Pre-heat oven to 350?. Spread walnuts in a single later on a baking sheet and, when oven is hot, place on a rack in the middle of the oven. Toast walnuts, stirring occasionally, for about 12 minutes or until fragrant. Remove from oven, transfer to a cutting board chop coarsely, and reserve walnuts while you continue with the next step.
- In a medium-sized, heavy-bottomed saute pan, heat olive oil and butter over medium-high heat. When butter mixture is bubbly, add garlic, thyme sprigs and shallots. Cook, stirring, until sizzling, translucent and cooked through. Add dried and fresh Shiitake mushrooms first, and cook, stirring, until slightly softened, then push aside and add an additional glug of olive oil. Add Cremini mushrooms. Cook, stirring, incorporating all mushrooms, until they have given off their liquid and much of it has evaporated. Add mushroom soaking liquid and simmer until evaporated. Add wine and simmer until most of wine has evaporated. Mushrooms should be moist and fully cooked. Remove thyme sprigs. Season to taste with salt and pepper (about 8 grinds). Recipe can be prepared a day or two in advance up to this point. Bring to room temperature before continuing.
- Heat oven to 350º. Line 2 large jelly-roll pans with foil. Remove filo shells from freezer and thaw. Stir walnuts into mushroom mixture.
- Remove rind of Camembert if you wish. Cut cheese round in half and cut a thin wedge from the half-round. Slice the wedge crosswise 2 or 3 times into small dice. If using red-wine jelly, place a small pea-sized dab in the bottom of each tartlet shell. Place a small piece of cheese on top of the red wine jelly, cut another wedge into dice and continue until all tartlets are filled. Place tartlets on jelly-roll pans (in batches) and place in hot oven for about 4 or 5 minutes until melted and bubbly. Remove from oven, top each tartlet with a small spoonful of mushroom mixture. Return to oven and warm another two minutes or so in oven, loosely covered with foil to prevent drying out. Garnish each with a pinch of minced parsley if you are not using the wine jelly. Arrange on serving tray. Serve hot.

When I think about real time power usage data, I am thinking about data that is being made available that very second. Data that is being reported in real time is like watching a football game live. You know that the running back just added 10 yards on to his total because you just saw the run on the T.V. That's real time.

Let's take a closer look at the Green Button and see if it is more than just an adult toy. According to Obama and other government supporters, the Green button is going viral. Ya, right, I don't believe it.
There has been several efforts in previous years to get power companies to "sign on" to programs that allow electric and gas customers to see how much energy they are using right there and then. The theory is that households that have energy usage data readily available will use…Continue

Scion is the entry-level brand of Toyota Motor Corporation, one of the auto industry's top manufacturers. The brand was launched to target young people and produce products that served as affordable, high-performing, modern style alternatives to Toyota's existing lineup.
Scion Through The Years
Though Scion was founded in 2002, its origins can be traced back to 1999 when Toyota launched Project Genesis in an effort to attract a younger demographic. The project was marked by the introduction of the Toyota Echo, and later generations of the MR-2 and Celica models. The driving force behind Project Genesis was to establish a "brand within a brand" and re-introduce Toyota to a younger generation of car buyers.
The project was unsuccessful for Toyota and quickly dismantled in 2001. A second project, spearheaded by the Los Angeles digital design company Fresh Machine was launched immediately and called, "Project Exodus." Over time, Project Exodus developed into what is now known as Scion.
Scion showcased its first vehicles at the New York Auto Show in 2002. The bbX and the ccX were the first generation of Scion cars to come off the assembly line. In 2003, at the Greater Los Angeles Auto Show, Scion introduced the 2004 xA and xB, which were only available at select California dealerships. It wasn't until 2004 that Scion launched its cars for mass production across the United States.
Scion Brand Strategy
The Scion brand became Toyota's strategy to combine price, buyer confidence, latest attributes and performance-driven ideals to the market. The Scion brand has been well-received in the American market mainly because of the reputation of its parent company, Toyota. The brand has enjoyed many compliments and has become very popular even in its infancy.
The xA and xB vehicles were Scion's first entrance into the auto market; an effort that proved to be a successful venture. Once the vehicles expanded from the California market to the rest of the country, the car was met with interest from not only young people but also baby boomers and the young-at-heart. Scion listened to consumer desire and replaced one of its early models (xA) with a larger, more powerful version (xD) .
Toyota's mission is to replicate the success they have achieved in Japan. To this end, in 2004, it renamed its retail dealerships to "Netz" stores. "Netz" is an acronym for Network Energetic Teams for Zenith.
Scion Models
The first official Scion models were the xA and the xB, launched in 2004. The models were targeted to a youthful demographic and quickly lived up to consumers' expectations of quality and reliability. Toyota, with its Scion brand, made an effort to unite value with a youthful style; a winning combination from a brand that enjoys longevity in the auto market.
Scion rolled out its tC model in 2005, a sport coupe with high performance additions, like a 2.5-liter, 180-hp engine. The xD was introduced to the mass market in 2008 as a successor to the xA.
In 2011, Scion launched its 2012 versions of the iQ and the FR-S. The iQ is the world's smallest four-seater known for packing a punch with a small footprint. Its modern, compact design appeals to the auto buyer looking for a compact solution without sacrificing a lot of space or features.
The FR-S is Scion's answer to the sports car with a front-mounted boxer engine and six-speed transmission. The 200-hp engine is sure to hit the mark with young car enthusiasts around the nation.
Scion Products and Technology
Scion is known for bringing value and modern design to a young audience, and its products speak to its brand message. One of its valued services is the no-haggle pricing structure, Pure Price®. Pure Price® is Scion's effort to keep consumers happy by disallowing the need for price negotiations and haggling hassles. A vehicle's price is set as advertised whether on display boards or the Scion website, and buyers are assured of a short, simple process at dealerships with an expectation of the exact price before they arrive.
Scion is also known for its commitment to satisfying the young driver. Its initial models boasted boxy, yet edgy designs appealing to the college student who needed a compact, affordable solution without sacrificing performance. They were loaded with state-of-the-art sound systems and high-performance features for its price class.
Scion continued to push the envelope with the tC, a sport coupe with a powerful engine appealing to an auto buyer with a need for speed. The 2012 premium micro-subcompact iQ is the smallest of the models, perfect for the rural student needing a car to take them to and from school in style. The fast, high-performing FR-S gets its inspiration from the superior performing Toyota models, the Sports 800, 2000 GT and the Corolla GT-S.

CARY, N.C. – Second-seeded Florida State (17-1-3) scored twice after the 80th minute Friday night inside WakeMed Park including the game-winner in the first overtime to defeat third-seeded North Carolina (17-4-0) 2-1 in the second semifinal of the ACC Women's Soccer Championship.
With the win, the Seminoles advance to their seventh ACC Championship game and first since claiming their first-ever league title in 2011. Florida State will meet fourth-seeded Virginia Tech, who handed top-ranked Virginia its first loss of the season with a 4-2 victory in the first semifinal, in Sunday's tournament final at 4:00 p.m.
Both goals scored by Florida State were courtesy of an own goal as the Seminoles became the first school to defeat North Carolina four times in a row. It also marked the second time in the last three years that FSU has knocked UNC out of the ACC Tournament as both victories have come in overtime. Florida State now has six wins against North Carolina all-time tying Notre Dame for the most wins against the Tar Heels in their storied history.
"I'm not sure from an aesthetic point of view that any of the purists are walking away thinking that we saw a great technical game, but we saw two very strong heavyweight teams go out there and battle," Florida State head coach Mark Krikorian said. "Sometimes it is a matter of going out and competing, fighting and giving yourself a chance."
The game-winner came in the 93rd minute when Jamia Fields sent a cross into the 6-yard box from the right side of the pitch. The ball traveled past two Carolina defenders and then off Satara Murray's leg, who came flying in to cover the far post, and inside the left post for the goal.
Extra time has been nothing new for these two schools has it marked the seventh time in the last 15 meetings that a match involving Florida State and North Carolina has gone to overtime. The series has been closely contested as of late that 14 of the last 18 games including both matches this year have been decided by one goal.
"Overall, I thought once again our group was resilient and was both physically and mental strong through the course of the game," Krikorian said "From a defending side, I thought it was pretty good. We limited their chances and opportunities at our goal. We didn't create enough, but I guess in the end we did create enough."
After a scoreless first half in which both teams combined for just five shots, North Carolina wasted very little cracking the scoreboard to open the second half when Meg Morris put away a shot from the right side of the pitch for her first goal of the season. The senior midfielder scored on a tough angle bending a shot inside the left post from about 15 yards out to give UNC a 1-0 lead.
The goal was the first FSU had given up to the Tar Heels since 2011, while it snapped Kelsey Wys' scoreless streak against UNC at over 330 minutes – a streak spanning four matches. Wys went on to finish the match with four saves.
With time winding down in regulation, Florida State came through with the equalizer in the 87th minute when Wys played a free kick down the middle of the field. Kristin Grubka went up for the header but the ball deflected off the head of a Carolina player and into the net for the goal.
Florida State has now scored 15 times this year after the 80th minute including 13 times when a score has either tied or won the game.
"It is awesome, the fight that we have and what it does most of me is it gives me confidence that we will never doubt for a second that we can't come back and win the game," said FSU senior Kassey Kallman, the ACC Defensive Player of the Year. "Being confident with four minutes, three minutes, two minutes left that your team is still going to score a goal and tie it up is very special and a very nice quality to have. Hopefully we can figure out how to score earlier."
The Seminoles nearly tied the game in the 83rd minute when a shot by Marta Bakowska-Mathews caromed off the crossbar. The ball looked like it crossed the goal line but nothing was called by the sideline official. UNC's Anna Sieloff was there to grab the loose ball ending the threat.
Bakowska-Mathews had another great look earlier in the second half but her header off FSU's first corner kick of the game in the 65th minute was saved off the near post on a header by Cameron Castleberry.
Florida State and North Carolina played to a scoreless first half as the two teams combined for just five shots with two coming from the Seminoles. Two of the three Tar Heel shots went on goal with Wys saving both attempts to keep the match scoreless heading into the locker room.
The first shot of the game came from North Carolina's Alexa Newfield off a free kick from 28 yards out as the shot went right into the bread basket of Wys for the save.
Florida State's first shot came off the foot of Fields in the 17th minute as her blast went into the right side of the netting from about 15 yards out.
The two teams exchanged a shot in the final 11 minutes of the first half as UNC's Castleberry made a nice run between two Seminole players before firing a shot that caromed off a Seminole defender but Wys was there for the save and then pounced on the loose ball to negate the Tar Heel scoring threat.
FSU's second shot of the first half came in the 44th minute off a free kick. Bakowska-Mathews sent the free kick into the box where Anna McClung won possession flicking the ball toward the far post. Hahn collected the pass and one-timed a shot toward the net but it was blocked by a Tar Heel defender.

So I just re-watched every single game again with both commentary and all-22 to really analyze the Seahawks throughout the season and I was planning on doing a write up for that here in the future. But in the meantime, I caught something that I think a lot of people overlooked.
The Read-option was very successful for us starting from the Chicago game on and many people (I was included) thought thats were we started using it. We were wrong. The Jets game 2 weeks prior featured it 6 times. And 4 of those times it was a complete failure. Wilson kept it for 3 and handed it off for 3 and 4 of those times made the wrong decision.
My reaction to this was that Wilson saw the mistakes he made on film with it and was able to fix these errors.
Not a spectacular topic, but I thought it was a neat, bored, offseason observation.

Gainesville, FL (SportsNetwork.com) - Jameis Winston threw three touchdown passes to Kelvin Benjamin as the second-ranked Florida State Seminoles concluded an undefeated regular season with a 37-7 victory over rival Florida.
Winston continued to put any distractions from an ongoing sexual assault investigation aside, completing 19-of-31 passes for 327 yards. Benjamin accounted for the bulk of the yards as he totaled a career-high 212 on nine receptions.
Devonta Freeman added a rushing touchdown for Florida State (12-0).
"Extremely proud of our guys being able to finish the (regular) season off the right way," said Seminoles head coach Jimbo Fisher.
The last 12-0 Florida State team reached that mark by capturing the 1999 national championship. The current incarnation is now seemingly a win over Duke in next week's ACC championship game away from contesting for another national title. Whether Winston will be available to play is unclear.
For the first time this season, the Seminoles failed to score at least 40 points. They had tied the 2005 Texas squad's single-season FBS mark for the most consecutive 40-point games.
Skyler Mornhinweg connected on 20-of-25 passes, but had just 115 yards and a touchdown for the Gators (4-8), who wrapped up their first losing season since 1979 on a seven-game slide.
"A very frustrating, difficult day that ends a very frustrating, difficult season," said Florida head coach Will Muschamp.
The Florida defense came to play in the first quarter, picking off Winston once and limiting the high-powered Seminoles to a Roberto Aguayo 49-yard field goal.
The kick followed a missed field goal by Florida's Austin Hardin from the same distance. A 50-yard run up the middle on a wildcat keeper by Trey Burton put the Gators in FSU territory. Unfortunately for Florida, the dynamic wide receiver left with a shoulder injury and didn't return.
In the second quarter, the Gators' defense wore down a bit as Winston led touchdown drives of 96 and 74 yards.
Pinned by a Florida punt at its own 4-yard line, FSU converted a trio of third downs, none bigger than Kenny Shaw's 27-yard catch on 3rd-and-26 from the 15. Shaw managed to hold onto the ball despite absorbing a huge hit in the middle of the field.
Winston then capped the 12-play sequence by hitting Benjamin, who broke a series of tackles, for a 45-yard TD pass. The duo hooked up again for a 29- yard scoring strike with 25 seconds remaining.
Florida State went three-and-out to begin the second half, but defensive end Mario Edwards, Jr. sacked Mornhinweg on first down of the ensuing Florida drive, forcing a fumble that was recovered by teammate Telvin Smith.
A false start penalty bumped the Seminoles out of the red zone and they eventually settled for a 40-yard Aguayo field goal.
On the next FSU possession, Benjamin picked up 56 yards with an over-the- shoulder grab and the big play set up Freeman's 11-yard TD run on the subsequent snap.
The Gators were driving at the outset of the fourth quarter, and Mornhinweg ended Florida State's shutout bid by hitting Hunter Joyer for a 5-yard touchdown.
Benjamin's third TD catch, this one of four yards, made it 34-7 and Aguayo added a 28-yard field goal with 3:14 to play.
Game Notes
Winston now has a single-season school record 35 touchdown passes. He broke Chris Weinke's mark of 33 from the 2000 campaign ... Winston now holds the ACC record for most passing yards in a season by a freshman with 3,490. He passed former Seminole Drew Weatherford, who had 3,208 passing yards in 2005 ... Florida State has won 14 straight games, the longest streak for the program since a 17-game run from Aug. 28, 1999-Oct. 7, 2000 ... The Seminoles outgained the Gators 456-193 ... Florida registered only eight first downs.

Btw, I found about Brody, he is currently teaching in Princeton Review but does anyone perhaps have some kind of contact info on him because they won't tell you the instructor's name until the class ?
Gabriele & EarlCat, why do you so highly recommend him specifically ? (besides the fact that he got a 180). Who would you say is better, Nelson or Brody?
One of the most important things that you can do is GO SIT IN on one of the classes being taught. IMHO any company/teacher that is worth their salt will let you see what the class is like before making a decision. That way you can make an informed decision about the class. Think of it as taking a test drive before buying a car.

I sent a detailed bug report to the GNU folks, offering to do whatever I could to help
The reply said:
I have heard of this happening before. I was not able to find out why. Do you have a backup of earlier versions so you can get most of your keys out? If so, you might try to recover by moving to DB-2.? routines. They are still being updated an developed. gdbm has not had any active development in years.
So I restored what I could from the backup tapes
I switched to Berkeley DB
I have not used GDBM since

Success Story
"Where the Science of Quality Assurance is still an Art!"
European Manufacturer of Converting Machinery Orders
R.K.B. OPTO-ELECTRONICS, INC., a leader in providing machine vision, web inspection, splice detection, edge marking and quality assurance and control technologies, has been selected to supply its state of the art classic Model 1032 Classic® Splice Detector™ Technology. The equipment will be shipped to a leading European manufacturer of converting machinery who supplies finishing solutions to the paper, film and foil industries. The Model 1032 Classic® Splice Detector™ Technology will be mounted on sheeter/sorter solutions just prior to the slitting/diversion process where all webs of material come together at one point for processing. Our Model 1032 Classic® Splice Detector™ Technology guarantees the detection of all splice (joint) tape faults. Applicable to any web fed process, our Model 1032 Classic® Splice Detector™ Technology helps manufacturers achieve their quality assurance initiatives by reducing down time, eliminating broke and preventing costly repairs to rolls, dies, blankets and other sensitive production equipment. Designed for edge of web mounting, the Model 1032 Classic® Splice Detector™ Technology can be positioned anywhere along the web path. It can be easily repositioned to accommodate changes in web width in support of just-in-time, short run, or high product mix conditions. Simple and very cost effective, the R.K.B. Model 1032 Classic® Splice Detector™ Technology has become the most commonly used inspection solution worldwide. To date R.K.B. has installed over 5000 inspection solutions in over 130 countries. Unequaled in performance, our Model 1032 Classic® Splice Detector™ Technology will provide a return on investment within 8 hours of use.
R.K.B. is proud to have been selected to provide the most widely used, state-of-the-art detection technology available today. "This is an vital partnership for R.K.B., and one that we will continually work on to ensure the highest possible quality can be achieved when our products are implemented as OEM" said R.K.B. With manufacturing costs ever increasing, it has become essential for reliable and consistent defect detection in a wide variety of conversion processes whereby the elimination of all types of defects are essential. R.K.B. and our partners offer our customers with a comprehensive solution that are not affected by discrete basis weight changes, changes in caliper of material, color of material, machine production speeds and type of defects.
The Model 1032 Classic® Splice Detector™ Technology monitors the "Material Thickness (Caliper)" value of web based products such as paper, film, rubber, and plastics that the technology is applied to. Due to its proprietary design, the material being monitored, which is a medium or substance, transmits electric force without conduction; an insulator if you will, and as such, any sudden and abrupt change in its dielectric value will create a very subtle differential that is picked up and reported. At the point of differential, the dielectric value is "out of sync". This signal, measured in the microvolt level is processed with proprietary circuitry that outputs an electronic signal representative of a splice (joint) tape fault. Since this detection is performed on a comparative basis, long term variances in material caliper, coat weight, basis weight, and other mechanical properties are noneffective and do not interfere with actual detection and results. This means there is never a false signal due to material electronic noise which negatively affect photo-eye sensors and ultrasonic type sensors. The Model 1032 Classic® Splice Detector™ Technology is auto-calibrating which eliminates any need for operational adjustments when you change grades of material, material weight, type of material, color of material and number of material webs which can all be processed at one common inspection point. Additionally, the Model 1032 Classic® Splice Detector™ Technology is not compromised relative to process speed meaning it can be applied to any line 30 fpm (9.144 m/min) to well above 10000 fpm (3048 meter m/min). Each Model 1032 Classic® Splice Detector™ Technology comes with an internal amber alarm indicator to indicate a "splice fault" as well as the red power indicator lamp. In addition, a dry contact relay is provided so customers can output splice signals to activate sheeter reject gates, audio/visual alarms, counters, edge marking systems, plc units and other various control type systems. The technology is designed for input power of 120/220 VAC, single phase, 50/60 Hz. The dry output contact closures are rated for 0.1 Amps @ 120VAC or 0.05 Amp @ 220VAC. The unit also provides a DC digital pulse @ 10 milliseconds (+/-3)that is a low to high.
R.K.B. pioneered the field of web inspection for web based paper, film, foil and allied material manufacturing. R.K.B. developed and patented many of the technologies currently in use today such as infrared phototransistor flaw detection technology, inductive and capacitive detection technology, ultraviolet phototube hole detection technology and camera based machine vision web inspection technology. In fact, R.K.B. was the first company in the world that incorporated camera sensors for the detection of defect faults in web material in the mid 1970's and patented this technique called the VIDISCAN 7000. Today R.K.B. invests a majority of its capital to research and development in new defect fault detection sensor techniques. Among our many innovations besides our patented splice detection technology, which is the world leading technology used for the detection of splice (joint) tape faults, is our very successful patented Model 3020 OPTOMIZER® Coating Streak/Scratch Inspection Technology. This technology, now being emulated and copied (badly we might add), by various European inspection solution suppliers, detects streaks and scratches as small as 1 micron (0.000039 inches (0.001 millimeter)) wide at any known process speed. This is not only theoretical proven, but proven online at various coated paper makers worldwide. Refer to the three studies provided herein for customer verification of the success of our streak detection technology which can be found at the following links "European Coated Board Installation", "Consolidated Papers Inc., On-line Evaluation Verification" and the comparative study done by the "American Forest Products Association in conjunction with the Institute for Paper Science and Technology". These three vital documents were produced in a bipartisan process by each of these companies. R.K.B. OPTO-ELECTRONICS, INC., designs, develops, manufactures, and markets the most diverse line of machine vision and web inspection technologies currently available to web based material manufacturers. R.K.B., has offices and partners worldwide in Asia, Europe, South America and the Middle East.

By 1970, Bob Dylan had already weathered his share of highs and lows. He had gone electric in '65 at Newport and survived the backlash. He released "Blonde on Blonde," a masterpiece, the next year, not long before a motorcycle accident sidelined him. And when he returned to recording, he ventured into a rootsy country sound on the albums "John Wesley Harding" and "Nashville Skyline."
Then he lost his way with "Self Portrait''; at least that was the critical stance upon the double album's release in 1970. It was arguably Dylan's first piecemeal effort, an odds-and-ends collection of covers of traditional songs and modern pop and folk hits. Bob Dylan doing Paul Simon's "The Boxer" was not exactly what his disciples wanted to hear at that point.
It landed with a thud. Critic Greil Marcus famously began his Rolling Stone review of the album like this: "What is this [expletive that rhymes with hit]?"
Out on Tuesday, "Another Self Portrait (1969-1971): The Bootleg Series Vol. 10" answers that question while casting that era, which also included the album "New Morning," in a new light. The two-disc set, which will also be released on vinyl, collects 35 rarities, demos, and previously unreleased songs, packaged with an extensive booklet of archival photos and essays.
Even Marcus has come around to that phase of Dylan's music. Writing in the liner notes, he appears to have changed his tune: " 'Another Self Portrait' opens up as new territory: roads shooting out in all directions."
He's right. There is so much to behold and treasure here, for both the Dylan diehard and the casual fan. You could spend an afternoon comparing the various alternate takes and abandoned ideas with the original versions, but that's unnecessary.
The joy of "Another Self Portrait" is hearing the music for its own merit. This is Dylan at his most tenderhearted, finding his way around songs that clearly made an impression on him. Because so much of the material is traditional or written by others, it allows you to ruminate on Dylan's interpretive skills.
Anyone who claims Dylan can't sing, or that he's not the most soothing of singers, has never heard his previously unreleased version of "Pretty Saro" included here. His voice is soft, delicate, as if it'll buckle under the weight of the song's heartache over losing his beloved.
It's also a window into the way Dylan works. You hear different renditions and false starts, but other times it's hard to see why a song didn't end up as the album version. "Alberta #3," presumably the third take of the song that appeared on "Self Portrait," really cooks with a down-home jamboree vibe, with Dylan's harmonica right up front and the female backup singers cooing ever so. Eventually they lose the thread and the magic dissipates altogether. Even then it's worth hearing.
A skeletal demo of "Went to See the Gypsy" loses the funky undertones of the version that appeared on "New Morning" and instead tells the story in the plainest of terms. Working with less, it's even more affecting. (Another take, with Dylan on electric piano, is more reverent and solemn.)
Dylan accompanies himself on piano on "Spanish Is the Loving Tongue," and it's the kind of intimate performance you fantasize was captured after the studio had closed and the lights were shut off. It's beautiful.
The second disc focuses more on outtakes from "New Morning," plus a pair of searing live performances with the Band at the Isle of Wight in '69. Their take on "Highway 61 Revisited" barrels out of the speakers like a rodeo bronco, untamed and thrilling. "I'll Be Your Baby Tonight," from that same festival date, should come with its own little shot of whiskey; it casts a boozy spell.
Meanwhile, the title track from "New Morning" is heard with horn overdubs that add a considerable amount of exuberance. "Copper Kettle," no longer soaked in string parts, is a revelation: David Bromberg's guitar dances around Dylan's as if tracing its outline, and Al Kooper's organ playing seeps into the mix as smooth as silk.
Arriving toward the end of summer, "Another Self Portrait" feels perfectly suited for the type of reflection that accompanies autumn. Having seen Dylan in concert so many times in recent years, and realizing that an impenetrable rasp long ago replaced his fluid croon, I had forgotten he once sounded like this. It's nice to be reminded.James Reed can be reached at email@example.com. Follow him on Twitter @GlobeJames

Here's their Packer concept, created by Steve Wåhlin:
Steve Wåhlin @SteveWahlin
I took two different approaches with this exercise: one forward-looking and one looking back to the past, but both firmly rooted in tradition. With the first design, I modernized the classic navy blue and gold color scheme that was a hallmark of the Packers first 40 years. On the jersey, the shoulder yoke pays homage to the classic Packer uniform of the 1940s. Overall, the yellow has been replaced with a true metallic gold. For a more contemporary typographic look, I turned to Champion bold; which is very readable and masculine, yet has some pleasing subtleties in the numerals. And finally, the G helmet logo—originally intended to mimic a football before it morphed into its current oval shape—has been streamlined back into a more meaningful, aggressive shape.
The NFL now advocates the use of a "third jersey" for special matchups or holiday games. Here, I've proposed a scheme where the navy blue in the entire uniform is replaced with the traditional Packer green. It's no mistake that this is very much like the color palette of Notre Dame; Packers founder Curly Lambeau intentionally based his team's color scheme on that of his alma mater, including using green and gold intermittently during his tenure as coach.
This last design has a throwback feel, but it does not specifically mimic any Packer uniform of the past. There are elements from a number of designs: the brown pants of the 1920s, clean yellow stripes from the 1950s; the white lettering and vintage Running Packer logo from the 1960s. But a lot of things have been simplified and rationalized. The helmet stripes have been reduced to one simple green line. The arm stripes have moved to the undershirt and simplified into 4 equal lines to represent the Packers' four Superbowl wins. The 2 yellow stripes on each of the socks symbolizes the Packers's wins in the first two Superbowls; and the total number of uniform stripes is 13—the Packers' total number of NFL championships. The classic yellow color is still present but it is given a metallic sheen on the helmet, gloves and shoes. Go Pack Go!Outstanding.
I'd like to look at each of his concepts individually, beginning with his blue and gold primary uniform.
Obviously, I love the shout-out to all of the Packers' glorious past; one of the problems with the team wearing Lombardi's uniform today is that it reinforces the notion that the NFL started with the Super Bowl.
I'm also a huge fan of the shoulder yoke, a classic Lambeau-era look that still works today in this era of disappearing sleeves. A classic look that fits with modern uniform construction, and that's a rarity. The jersey numbers are a bit too close to the Rams; I'd rather see a right-angle block in an additional shout-out to Lambeau's uniform.
Putting the TV numbers on the compression sleeves is a nice touch. For 3½ years I've been advocating moving the Packers' distinctive stripes there, but never the TV numbers.
I will admit a partiality to Lambeau's color scheme over Lombardi's. I do recognize that I am in the minority here, and understand that the chromatic uniqueness of the Green and Gold is worth preserving. With that in mind, his alternate uniform, featuring a variant on the Packers' current color scheme, would work well today.
The modified helmet logo doesn't quite work for me. I appreciate the idea behind it, and I like the more elongated version worn by the Packers in the early 1960s. But this is a bit too aggressive, trying too hard.
So I like the primary concept a lot. The alternate uniform also shows a lot of promise.
Always interesting to see the "Holstein Heisman" logo in action. It has never been a regular part of the Packers' uniform, but has seen an uptick in modern use.
I'd hate for the Packers to drop their famous Braisher stripes, but a pair of simple gold stripes on green is a fantastic look, hearkening back not only to 1940s look above but also the socks worn by the team during the Lindy Infante era.
Not sure about the reasoning behind the number of stripes:
the total number of uniform stripes is 13—the Packers' total number of NFL championships.That's fine, Steve, but what are you going to do when they win their 14th next year?
There is one element that I think the Packers should adopt immediately; the metallic-flake gold helmet.
This manages to combine the classic athletic gold color with a metallic finish. Modern, but similar enough that the Packers could adopt this helmet with the same ease they went to "pearlized" shells in 2001. Perhaps this is something Hydro Graphics Inc. could provide, if they expand their NFL offerings. It would be a perfect opportunity for the Packers to branch out into a metallic helmet without losing their visual legacy.
All in all, very well done. A very fun concept, something from which the Packers could learn. I'd love to see that helmet under a clear November Wisconsin sky.

LOUISVILLE — A tobacco distributor closely watched by federal agents for a decade along with two relatives were charged in Kentucky with using phony invoices to avoid paying taxes on millions of dollars' worth of cigarettes sold in several states.
A federal grand jury in Louisville on Thursday charged 42-year-old Pedro "Peter" Bello of Miami, his sister, Caridad Bello of St. Louis, and her husband, Juan Hernandez of St. Louis, with conspiracy to commit wire fraud and money laundering in an effort to avoid paying $2 million to Kentucky in taxes on cigarettes.
Pedro Bello's attorney, Kent Westberry of Louisville, said the new indictment does not change the substance of the allegations against his client.
"Pete Bello still maintains his innocence on these charges," Westberry said.

Caridad Bello and Hernandez did not have attorneys listed in the court record.
Federal investigators have been tracking Pedro Bello since at least 2002, when prosecutors in Texas sought to secretly listen to cellphone conversations involving him. He was linked to several large-scale investigations and named in a civil lawsuit brought by the city of New York over untaxed cigarettes. A federal grand jury in Louisville initially charged him in October 2011, but re-indicted him Thursday with his sister and brother-in-law.
Authorities say he bought massive amounts of cigarettes in Kentucky but used invoices written by GT Northeast in Missouri, a company he owned in St. Louis, to avoid paying Kentucky sales taxes by making it appear that the sales originated in Missouri. He then sold the cigarettes around the country while pocketing bigger profits by avoiding the Kentucky tax.
The indictment says that Bello's Louisville-based company GT Northeast avoided paying on $12 million worth of cigarettes it sold.
Prosecutors want Bello to forfeit $2 million if he's convicted.
The federal government has cracked down in recent years on contraband cigarettes— smokes sold by people and businesses through illegitimate channels to avoid paying taxes. The Department of Justice estimates that federal, state and local governments lose out on $5 billion annually in tax revenue from the cigarette schemes.
Pedro Bello's name has surfaced in several investigations at the heart of the ATF's crackdown. Federal court records from Kentucky, New York and Texas depict Bello as a man involved in moving millions of cigarettes around the country without paying taxes to various states.
Bello was a subject of the Texas investigation in 2002 but avoided indictment. Fifteen people were charged, though, with 13 pleading guilty or being convicted. Prison sentences ranged from a year to six years.
The current case against Bello is also tied to an ongoing civil forfeiture case in Kentucky against Chavez Inc., which sold cigarettes online before federal investigators shut it down in 2009.
Bello is mentioned frequently in a search warrant for Chavez Inc. The company is suspected of selling $132 million in cigarettes online while avoiding paying a variety of taxes to states.
Chavez Inc., and its owners, Israel Chavez of Louisville and his ex-wife, Pam Chavez of Stockton, Calif., have not been charged criminally.

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Home prices in the 20 largest metros rose 12.1% from a year ago in June after rising 12.2% in May. The S&P/ Case-Shiller 20-City Composite Index rose 2.2% from May. On a seasonally adjusted basis, the index rose by a more modest 0.9% from the previous month. The 20-City Index was expected to post a 1.1% monthly increase on a seasonally adjusted basis and a 12.2% increase year over year, according to Zillow. Nationally, home prices rose by 10.1% over the past four quarters. The Case-Shiller Index is based on a three-month moving average, so the index captures home price action for April, May and June. The impact of rising interest rates in May and June on the index is therefore likely to be somewhat muted. The full impact of rising rates would likely be felt in September. However, there are signs that prices are moderating. Although the top 20 cities all posted monthly and annual increases, only six cities-- Charlotte, Cleveland, Las Vegas, Minneapolis, New York and Tampa -- gained at a faster pace in June than in the previous month. Home prices have been rising over the past year amid a shortage of supply. Recently, inventory has been rising and there are signs of buyer fatigue, which could moderate price action in coming months. "Overall, the report shows that housing prices are rising but the pace may be slowing," said David M. Blitzer, chairman of the Index Committee at S&P Dow Jones Indices. "As we are in the middle of a seasonal buying period, we should expect to see the most gains. With interest rates rising to almost 4.6%, home buyers may be discouraged and sharp increases may be dampened." He also noted that other housing data, while positive, is not as robust as it was in the spring. Starts and sales of new homes, for instance, continue to lag the stronger pace set by existing homes. Still, the 20-city index has gained 19% from its March 2012 low and is now only 23% below its June/July 2006 peak. Significantly, the S&P Index does not factor in the impact of the share of distressed sales on prices. Therefore, it can exaggerate the impact of price increases as the share of foreclosures and short sales, which sell at a discount, decline. U.S. home prices rose 8.4% year over year in June, according to a report from Lender Processing Services (LPS). The LPS report is based on closings in June and represents the prices of non-distressed sales by taking into account the discounts of foreclosures and short sales. According to LPS, the index covers 89% of single-family residential properties in the U.S. -- Written by Shanthi Bharatwaj New York. >Contact by Email. Follow @shavenk

Fanderson FAQS
This Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) page will answer many of the questions that we're regularly asked about Fanderson and the way in which the club operates. With one notable exception this page isn't designed to answer questions about Gerry and Sylvia Anderson's productions, as you'll find answers to many of those questions on our "Productions" pages.
So, firstly, our most received question: What does 'FAB' stand for?
Nothing! Despite appearances, as used by International Rescue in Thunderbirds 'FAB' is not an acronym – it's simply a call sign like 'Roger' or 'Ten-Four' to acknowledge received instructions. In the 1960s, when Thunderbirds was in production, the term 'fab' was in common parlance as a shortened form of 'fabulous' which, of course, everything was. The phrase has enjoyed resurgence in recent years and 'FAB' itself entered the Collins English Dictionary in 2002: "'FAB [interjection British informal] an expression of agreement to, or acknowledgement of, a command [from British television series, Thunderbirds]." .
What is Fanderson?
Fanderson is a club for fans worldwide of all of Gerry and Sylvia Anderson's television and film productions. It was formed in 1981 at the request of ITC Entertainment who wanted to assist and support one single fan body for all of the Anderson productions to which it owned the copyright. The club is based in the UK and organised by a small unpaid committee of longtime fans.
What was Fanderson's relationship with Gerry Anderson?
Gerry was instrumental in forming the club and was our honorary club President until his death in 2012. He took an active interest in everything we did, regularly contributed to the club magazine by providing information about his latest projects and answering members' questions, and always made time to offer assistance as required. However, he entrusted all decision-making about the organisation of the club, its merchandise and events, to the members of the committee.
What is Fanderson's relationship with ITV Studios Global Entertainment?
The licensing and development rights to the properties in the ITC Entertainment library of films and television programmes are now owned by ITV Studios Global Entertainment, which recognises Fanderson as the only official appreciation society for Gerry and Sylvia 's work. This special relationship gives us access to the ITC library of photographs and other materials, and free license to produce merchandise based on the Anderson television series produced for ITC between 1960 and 1976. In return Fanderson provides ITV with an information resource, consultancy service and assistance to their commercial merchandise licensees, should they require it.
Fanderson's status as the official Gerry and Sylvia Anderson appreciation society was provided in perpetuity by Gerry Anderson himself and by Sylvia's family. ITC Entertainment authorises Fanderson's status as the only officially-recognised appreciation society for the television series on which they retain the copyright: Supercar, Fireball XL5, Stingray, Thunderbirds, Captain Scarlet And The Mysterons, Joe 90, The Secret Service, UFO, The Protectors and Space:1999. The owners of all other Anderson productions also recognise the club's official status.
Despite the club's relationships with ITV, ITC, Anderson Entertainment and other copyright holders, Fanderson is independent of any company or individual.
Who runs Fanderson?
The club committee is formed of club members who offer their services. Committee positions are unpaid and duties are performed in members' free time. Committee service continues until an individual decides to 'retire', is dismissed for acting against the best interests of the club, or is replaced by member vote at our Annual General Meeting. Vacant committee posts are advertised in FAB magazine, and in the past positions have come about from members suggesting roles to improve the running of the club.
Do you have an Annual General Meeting (AGM) where I can put questions to the committee?
We held AGMs in 2015 and 2016, at which no members attended in 2015 and just one attended in 2016. Therefore, the committee agreed not to waste funds on further physical AGMs, though members are invited to contribute and vote online on issues raised at a virtual AGM.
Members can always put questions to the committee by writing to/e-mailing us, or starting a thread on the Interface section of the Fanderson Forum. Conventions also provide an excellent opportunity to talk with committee members.
Do you publish club accounts?
The club's financial status is reviewed at every committee meeting and an annual summary is published on the Interface section of the Fanderson Forum.
Why do I have to join Fanderson to buy your merchandise?
1) As a club, in which we 'mutually trade' with fellow members, UK tax laws exempt us from paying income tax. To do otherwise would mean we'd have to pay tax and add this to the selling price of our merchandise, making everything more expensive.
2) Our relationship with the copyright holders of the various Anderson productions means that Fanderson is allowed to produce limited edition merchandise without purchasing the merchandise licenses that other manufacturers must buy. However, this arrangement is on the strict understanding that Fanderson only sells its products to club members. The alternative of buying a merchandise license would inflate the production costs beyond what most members could afford - based on the limited quantities that Fanderson produce (commercial manufacturers are able to spread the cost of the license fee over the production of a much larger number of items, anything from 10 to 50 times the number of units that Fanderson produces).
3) The club's status, combined with the factors above, enables us to invest in items of merchandise that would be financially unviable to commercial merchandisers, based on the relatively small quantities that they could expect to sell.
4) As with any club, to give like-minded people the opportunity to meet and have access to products and services that are not available to the general public.
Why don't you introduce a two-tier pricing system, with a premium for non-members who want to buy your merchandise?
Please see the above answer and, if it helps, think of the membership fee as that premium - which also happens to give you access to the full range of club services and products. Just let us know if you don't want to be sent your membership pack and FAB magazines and we'll invest your membership fee in services and merchandise for the general membership instead.
Why are some of your items of merchandise more expensive than similar items that I can buy in shops?
Even without the cost of a merchandising license, our limited production quantities mean that our unit costs are sometimes higher than they would be on comparable commercially-produced items. Taking Fanderson's soundtrack CDs as an example, there are many factors that contribute to the production cost such as engineering, editing and digital remastering, the hire of recording studio facilities, manufacturing, duplication and on-body print, packaging reprographics and print, composer royalties, musicians' royalties, and so on. If these production costs amount to, say, £16,000 then Fanderson's unit cost is £16 each based on the production of just 1,000 units. By contrast, if a commercial manufacturer expects to sell 5,000 copies of a comparable CD his unit cost is reduced to around just £3.20 each, onto which he can add a considerable profit.
I don't live in the UK. Can I still join the club?
Yes, of course! About a quarter of our members live outside the UK. You will find full details of membership rates and how to pay on the membership form/website.
Can I order merchandise at the same time as applying for membership?
Yes. Just add your membership to your cart whilst shopping online and you'll be charged for your complete transaction. Note, however, that Memberships and Sales are separate operations, located in different parts of the UK. We'll always complete your membership application before fulfilling your order, which means your merchandise may take a few weeks to be delivered.
How can I pay for my membership?
We accept payment in Pounds Sterling (GBP) only, and you can pay by cheque (with a UK bank sort code), UK postal order, most major credit and debit cards and PayPal if you use our online option. Full details are on every membership form and our website. If you pay by card we will charge you in Pounds Sterling (GBP), and your card company/bank will do the conversion and charge you in your local currency. So that you can check the amount that you've been charged your card statement will usually show both currencies.
How do I raise a Sterling money order?
Most banks throughout the world can exchange your local currency into Pounds Sterling (GBP), although there is often a charge to you for doing this. A much more economical way is to pay by credit or debit card.
Why do you have so many different addresses? Can I send mail to just one?
The Fanderson committee members live at different locations across the UK, so sending your mail to the right address (as detailed on our forms and in FAB magazine) means you'll get a much quicker response. Our PO Box is really for 'first contact' queries or for submitting letters and articles to FAB magazine. Of course, mail sent to any of our addresses will get forwarded to the right people, it might just take a little time.
When is my membership due for renewal?
Your welcome letter tells you when your membership expires initially, and the mailing label on your FAB envelopes always carry this detail. You will also be sent a renewal form with the last FAB issue of your current membership.
When is the next issue of FAB magazine due to be published?
FAB is published three times a year (nominally in March, July and November). Each issue details when the next FAB is expected and we'll confirm this on our website when we know the latest issue has started landing in members' homes.
Can you tell me when (insert programme title) is to be broadcast on TV, or released on DVD or Blu-ray Disc?
If Fanderson is provided with broadcast/release details in advance we will post this on the News page of our website.
Can I buy (insert programme title) on DVD from you?
The full range of Fanderson merchandise is on the Fanderson Sales pages of our website and the latest catalogue is sent to all members with each copy of FAB magazine. We cannot supply any items that are not listed in the catalogue. However, try somewhere like www.startrader.co.uk for other items (included those no longer in production).
I've got a rare piece of 1960s merchandise. Can you tell me how much it's worth?
Sorry, but we don't offer a valuation service. However, where appropriate, we can put you in touch with professional auction houses that have greater expertise in the current value.
Can I get autographs from the various people involved in making my favourite programmes?
Sorry, but we don't offer an autograph service. However, our convention guests are more than happy to provide sign autographs for delegates.
How do you decide what merchandise to produce?
Members' suggestions, including the information about their preferred productions helps us to target our efforts towards the most popular shows, although we aim to cover all of them to some degree. Many of our items have either been suggested by our members, or in some cases actually produced by our talented members.
Can I play your DVDs outside the UK?
Yes, we want everyone to enjoy our programmes. In fact, Fanderson's first DVD release, The Day After Tomorrow/Space Police, was the world's first internationally compatible disc, with PAL on one side and NTSC on the other.
When and where is your next event or convention?
Special Assignment will be held at the Holiday Inn, Maidenhead on the weekend of 29th September-1st October 2017. It's the closest weekend to the 50th anniversary of Captain Scarlet's first broadcast, so we'll be celebrating that along with all other Anderson productions.

HANG TIME, Texas — So much for the notion that all of the energy and drama was sucked out of half the playoff bracket by the Heat's 27-game win streak.
Suddenly the Eastern Conference is dripping with more subplots than a Russian novel with LeBron James complaining that the Bulls abused him, Taj Gibson cleverly telling the best player in the game that he's too good to whine, Danny Ainge foolishly and typically wading into the middle of the war with his mouth and Pat Riley suggesting that Ainge should "shut the (expletive) up."
Oh baby, the only way this could only get more delicious is with whipped cream and a cherry on top. Or maybe Kevin McHale taking down Kurt Rambis with a clothesline.
Just like that, we're back in the 1980s with LA Gear, parachute pants and an urge to sing "Beat It."
Is the manipulative genius of Riley at work here with LeBron? Has the blueprint for beating the Heat been put on display? Does anybody actually need to light a fire under an imposing team that just went nearly two full months without losing?
Do we really have to wait three more weeks for the playoffs to begin?
Miami vs. Chicago. Miami vs. Boston. And you thought Indiana was the Heat's only minor roadblock to The Finals.
Don't we really have to pull for the Celtics to tumble into the No. 8 seed and open up against the Heat in the first round?
Before the opening tip, Riley and Ainge could square off at center court for an MMA bout, complete with the octagon cage.
Hopefully, the winner of that first-round street fight would then face Chicago in a series presumably played with helmets and full body armor.
Look, we can't really blame James for feeling that the Bulls used him as a tackling dummy on Wednesday night. After all, he's been raised and cultivated and ascended to his seat on the throne in this 21st century era that has become so polite and contact-averse that any day now you can expect the NBA's discipline czar Stu Jackson to rule from the league office that defenders must play with their pinkie fingers extended, as if they're attending a tea party.
"Let me calculate my thoughts real fast before I say [what I want to say]," James said after the game. "I believe and I know that a lot of my fouls are not basketball plays. First of all, Kirk Hinrich in the first quarter basically grabbed me with two hands and brought me to the ground. The last one, Taj Gibson was able to collar me around my shoulder and bring me to the ground. Those are not defensive and those are not basketball plays."
Of course, those of us who were around in the 80s and 90s or have learned from the drawings on cave walls about the times when prehistoric figures named Oakleysaurus, Mahornasaurus and Laimbeer Rex guarded the paint with sharp elbows and pointed attitudes, know that those used to be routine basketball plays. As James is trying to climb the ladder of greatness to catch Michael Jordan, let him ask His Airness if he was ever given a bump or two at The Palace of Auburn Hills or Madison Square Garden.
All of the good will and gosh-almighty admiration for Miami and for James that was built up during the construction of the 27-game streak could go out the window if the Heat players start to believe they should be unchallenged physically and simply carried on the shoulders of tributes to a second consecutive NBA title.
"I think he's too good of a player to do that," Gibson zinged when asked about James' complaints in a radio interview.
The big question is what in the world could ever have possessed Ainge to enter the fray. Then you remember that he was just being Ainge, agitator and instigator and never a finisher during his playing career.
"I think that it's almost embarrassing that LeBron would complain about officiating," Ainge said.
And that's when the real fun started.
"Danny Ainge needs to shut the #$!* up and manage his own team," Riley said in a statement released through a Heat spokesman. "He was the biggest whiner going when he was playing and I know that because I coached against him."
Give Riley credit. The guy who copyrighted the term "three-peat" back in 1987 could have another T-shirt selling bonanza on his hands with the blunt "STFU" combined with that fireball Heat logo.
It might not only have been the first official statement in known team sport history to include the home-run word, but also the artful, Machiavellian Riley's way of delivering a just-as-short message to LeBron ahead of the 2014 opt-out clause in his contract: I'll always have your back.
At first, Ainge backed off a bit.
"Pat Riley's right," he said. "I should manage my own team. I complained a lot to the officials. And I'm right, LeBron should be embarrassed about how he complains about the calls he gets."
But just before Friday night's game against the Hawks, he could not resist one more shot:
"I stand by what I said. That's all. I don't care about Pat Riley. He can say whatever he wants.
"I don't want to mess up his Armani suits and all that hair goop. It would be way too expensive for me."
Can't we start the playoffs right now?

Production of the Mustang began in Dearborn, Michigan on March 9, 1964 and the automobile was presented to the general public on April 17, 1964 at the New york city World's Fair. It is Ford's 3rd earliest nameplate presently in production. Original sales projections predicted less than 100,000 systems for the first year. This mark was exceeded in three months from rollout. Another 318,000 would be sold during the model year (a record), and in its first eighteen months, more than one million Mustangs were built.
Buy Classic Ford Mustangs
All of these were VIN-identified as 1965 designs, but numerous modifications were made at the traditional opening of the brand-new design year (beginning August 1964), consisting of the addition of back-up lights on some models, the introduction of alternators to change generators, and an upgrade of the V8 engine from 260 cu in to 289 cu in. In the case of a minimum of some six-cylinder Mustangs fitted with the 101 hp 170 cu in Falcon engine, the rush into production consisted of some uncommon quirks, such as a horn ring bearing the 'Ford Falcon' logo design beneath a trim ring emblazoned with 'Ford Mustang.' These qualities made enough distinction to call for classification of the 121,538 earlier ones as "1964 1/2" model-year Mustangs, a distinction that has actually withstood with purists. Mustangs For Sale in Linwood KS are easy to find now with online shopping.
The 1973 OPEC oil embargo brought with it more strict contamination laws and the desire for fuel-efficiency. This was also the very first time in vehicle history that the Huge 3 were needing to compete with imports. The brand-new Mustang II was smaller sized than the first version but, due to the added equipment needed to meet new US emission and safety regulations, was heavier than the very first model. Efficiency was minimized and in the first year just 385,993 cars were sold.
2nd generation Mustangs for sale in Linwood KS were offered between 1974 and 1978 and available in a coupe and hatchback version. 1979 the Mustang was redesigned a third time. This time it was based on the bigger Fox platform and the interior was really big enough for 4 people. The trunk was bigger therefore was the engine bay. The body styles readily available consisted of a coupe, hatchback and in 1983 a convertible. In 1979 the Third generation Mustang acted as an Indianapolis 500 pace vehicle and Ford constructed 10,478 celebratory replicas. The 3rd generation Mustangs were produced from 1979 to 1982.

"Amazing Grace With Bill Moyers" is an entertaining look at a song that's been recorded by more popular artists than any other hymn. From pop singer Judy Collins and opera star Jessye Norman in New York, to Philadelphia gospel singer Marion Williams and Kentucky folk singer Jean Ritchie, these stirring, very diverse performances were recorded in stereo on locations all across America. Along with the music, the artists reveal the power that "Amazing Grace" has had in their personal lives, which makes the film a touching emotional experience.
