Guns and ammo that are intriguing and functional for long-range silhouette and paper targets do not always transfer well into hunting situations. But some alert gun guys quickly recognized Creedmoor assets of dual target-game downing efficiency, reloading ease and inexpensive ammunition potential and grew hungry for more. The Hornady cartridge designers in Grand Island, Nebraska, were delighted to oblige.

In fact, Murdock said, demand is so strong right now that in some cases employers will hire someone and then send them to a training program.

I took the original guitar—at first we called it the Esquire guitar, looked just like the Telecaster—I took it to the trade show in Chicago, and I just got laughed out of the place. It was called everything from a canoe paddle to the snow shovel. By this time, Merle Travis was playing the guitar that Paul Bigsby had made, and the word was getting around, so we started selling a few of them.

Kisha starts to train me in what she calls the protocol. Now I’m in the room with him, and she’s watching on the screen. I try to emulate the tone of her voice. Every time he takes a bite, I cheer wildly. We make up rhymes and high-fives and mini dance routines. Whenever he is confronted with a new food he says “I don’t like that” or “That looks like a green poo.” Kisha instructs me to ignore the negative vocalisations and reinforce the eating. “Take your bite,” I say. Like magic, he obeys.

For two weeks, while the doctors worked to get my blood pressure down, I lived on the maternity ward. On the other side of the thin curtains that divided us, I heard the sound of women being wheeled in just after giving birth. I heard their children wailing. I found clots of blood in the drain of the shower. I heard their families cooing and I saw their blue and pink balloons tapping the ceiling. In the morning, the nurses put boxes of cereal and jugs of milk out on trolleys, and I met the women and babies I’d been hearing all night, the women shuffling on slippered feet, holding their abdomens. Who knew what secret wounds lay beneath their folded hands? My own wound had become infected. On top of antihypertensives, diuretics, morphine, I was given a course of antibiotics. After a day or two, the mothers and babies went home, and new ones arrived. I spent hours by my baby’s incubator, often just staring through the plastic and watching the spokes of his ribcage rise and fall.

And then when the Stratocaster came along, why, they were talking about putting guys into orbit, so Telecaster, then Stratocaster into the stratosphere. With amplifiers, we had a student amplifier, and nobody really wants to be known as a student. So I named it the Champ. Then we had another we called the Princeton, and the Deluxe, and the Harvard.

Once companies gain a foothold in one country, many seek to expand. New South Group aims to open 10 industrial zones like the one in Ogun across Africa, starting with a 700-acre facility near the Kenyan city of Eldoret that began business in February. It plans to open in Ghana and Angola, where, as in Nigeria, reliance on oil exports has devastated local manufacturing.

You bitch and moan about the guy making 1 literary mistake and here I’m residing in a remote location having to use speech to text technology on a cellphone to communicate and and regardless how it looks on this end, by the time I hit the send button there is absolutely NO guarantee how it will come out on the other end or whether it will please everybody? For people so sensitive to perfection, in the words of Kurt Vonnegut, “Go f’ck yourself!”

The large movement bridge at the top includes a cutaway placing some of the mainspring barrel and ratchet click on display. The cutaway itself features four highly polished, sharp internal beveled angles – this anglage reveals proof of the superlative hand-finishing in evidence throughout the movement since machines are not yet capable of polishing sharp internal angles.

Horsepower comes from a well-dressed big-block Chevy. It’s a 502ci crate engine from Chevrolet Performance. The cast-iron block features a forged steel crankshaft with 4.000 inches of stroke. Forged pistons ride inside the 4.470-inch bore and offer a conservative 8.75:1 compression ratio. The crate engine has a hydraulic roller camshaft, coming in at 211 degrees of duration on the intake side and 230 degrees on the exhaust, measured at 0.050-inch lift. Maximum valve lift is 0.510-inch intake and 0.540-inch exhaust. Rectangular port cylinder heads process the fuel and air mixture created by a Holley 750-cfm double-pumper carburetor and GM L88 aluminum intake manifold. An original distributor, upgraded with a PerTronix electronic module, controls the ignition, while MSD 8mm plug wires deliver the spark. Hooker Super Comp headers and side pipes send the spent gasses out of the engine in perfect 1970’s style. Engine bay upgrades include a serpentine pulley system and a Griffin aluminum radiator with electric fan. Behind the 502ci big-block Chevy is a Muncie M21 four-speed manual transmission. The close-ratio gearset works well with the mild-mannered big-block and 3.40:1 rearend ratio. Gary added a Lakewood blowproof bellhousing and a heavy-duty Weber clutch for safety and durability. He selects gears with a classic Hurst shifter.
