Hey,
Hate Ignites Hate
Maybe there’s something to be investigated here. Again, the media plays a role. Mass shootings are on the rise. It’s not because of the guns, but because of frustration. I watched a portion of a report on PBS News hour last night. A professor wrote a book blaming slavery on capitalism. Slavery was a commodity among all sorts of civilizations 2000 years before and during the era of Christ. Not only blacks were slaves.
We blame the health of the planet on folks who eat beef or drive an SUV. We blame the white man for everything race related. We blame the government when someone breaks the law and tries to enter the country illegally.
Now we blame car drivers and punish them with bicycle paths down the center of main streets. All these efforts are dividing Americans and causing frustration.
Did you see Terry Lovering's feature. He's going to build a video game out of his board game.
No wonder folks are pissed off. We are creating a society of hate. Does hate beget hate? Is there a human nature that craves conflict? Is that why the Middle East is constantly fighting. They would rather fight than to have clean running water.
Does man need to have war to justify his existence? Political parties fight. Motorcycle clubs fight. Gangs and mobs fight. Tribes can never get along. And then there are our lovely religions. They fueled most of the conflicts on this planet and justified killing millions. So, can America make a difference? Can we get above the hate and work together to build calm and confidence for the society? If not, what’s the alternative? That’s not a pretty picture, especially when we are living in the best of times. We are actually safer, healthier and live longer than ever before. We need to get a grip on Freedom.
Let’s hit the news:

'Fastest Woman On Four Wheels' Jessi Combs Killed In Jet-Car Crash--
Yesterday, while attempting to beat her own land speed record, the 52,000 horsepower jet-powered car driven by racer, fabricator, and television personality Jessi Combs crashed in the Alvord Desert in Oregon, killing her, as local news reports. Combs was 39 years old and held the title of “fastest woman on four wheels” after breaking 398 mph in that same North American Eagle Supersonic Speed Challenger in 2013.
Combs was attempting to beat her previous record, and had attempted it as recently as last year, when she managed a 483.227 mph shakedown run before mechanical problems ended the attempt, as noted on the team’s bio page for Jessi.

NEWS FROM THE MASTER--Artist David Uhl - "Population Two"
Well, this was certainly a first! In his 21-year career as a Fine Artist, David Uhl has never had this happen...
The original image he painted featured a model from Poland, who had posed for the shot of her and the motorcycle. She agreed to compensation in return for David's interpretation of the photo in his painting. When she saw the finished version, she decided she didn't want any compensation and that she didn't want to be part of the project!
Undaunted, David decided to use the lovely Elizabeth (his better half) as his model and many people think it's even better now!
Check the new image, along with one of the shots from the photo shoot with Elizabeth. If you ordered the initial version and would like to cancel your order, simply let me know. We do have some available slots, so if you like this one better and would like to add it to your collection, please let me know. Details are below. Thanks, Greg
"Population Two" (final version)
If you visited us in Deadwood this year during the Sturgis Rally, you undoubtedly noticed the new piece David was working on. We weren't sure what would happen with this one, but after an overwhelmingly positive response, he decided to offer a print edition.
This new piece, titled "Population Two" stems from David's burgeoning career as an illustrator/concept artist when he was 19.
"Many people don't know that I got started in Sci Fi illustration/concept art back when I was 19. I did some drawings for futuristic aliens and ships for Disney. The genesis for this idea started after spending the last few years reading my friend Graham Hancock's latest books.
He has been working with a team of scientists that are certain we the earth experienced a major comet/meteor impact just 12,000 years ago. This piece illustrates what it might look like if one slammed into the Atlantic. So being at the Sturgis rally, I naturally based it in that area. So that being said: here is a window into a mad max futuristic world. An interesting place to visit, but probably not wanting to live there."
There is a LOT going on in this piece, so we produced a short video with close ups of the cool components.

The canvas print edition will consist of two sizes and will not included a smaller version (too much going on with this one to do it justice in a smaller size). This may be the start of a new, ongoing series as well.
** Image size 32x24, $1,295 framed (deduct $200 for a gallery wrap). Edition of 60 plus 10 Artist Proofs and 10 Hors d' Commerce
** Image size 40x30, $1,895 framed (deduct $300 for a gallery wrap). Edition of 30 plus 7 Artist Proofs and 7 Hors d'Commerce.
Each canvas print will come hand-signed by David and numbered, with Certificate of Authenticity.
If you'd like to get on the list to reserve one, simply respond to this email or call me at 303-913-4840.
Thanks and have a great week!

BELLY TANK FRONTEND DISCUSSION--
You can see their original set up ( yours is much stronger to start with), in the shot with the skin on you can kind of see the stabilizer they added. . Like we discussed there are a lot of factors that don’t apply and a few that work in your favor too.
I noticed the sticker on the front end and came up with this link:
http://www.delawarechassisworks.com/
I really don’t remember if they just bought the frontend from these guys or if they were involved with the project . . I think I have been through at least one computer between now and then, so I am missing some notes it seems.

Climatologist Dr Tim Ball Defeats Michael Mann’s Climate Lawsuit--
Written by John O’Sullivan
Supreme Court of British Columbia dismisses Dr Michael Mann’s defamation lawsuit versus Canadian skeptic climatologist, Dr Tim Ball. Full legal costs are awarded to Dr Ball, the defendant in the case.
The Canadian court issued its final ruling in favor of the Dismissal motion that was filed in May 2019 by Dr Tim Ball’s libel lawyers.
Mann’s “hockey stick” graph, first published in 1998, was featured prominently in the U.N. 2001 climate report. The graph showed a spike in global average temperature in the 20th Century after about 500 years of stability. Skeptics have claimed Mann’s graph was fraudulent.
On Friday morning (August 23, 2019) Dr Ball sent an email to WUWT revealing:
“Michael Mann’s Case Against Me Was Dismissed This Morning By The BC Supreme Court And They Awarded Me [Court] Costs.”
Mann filed his action in 2010 for Ball’s allegedly libelous statement that Mann “belongs in the state pen, not Penn State.” The final court ruling, in effect, vindicates Ball’s criticisms.
Not only did the B.C. Supreme Court grant Ball’s application for dismissal of the nine-year, multi-million dollar lawsuit, it also took the additional step of awarding full legal costs to Ball.
A more detailed public statement from the world-renowned skeptical climatologist is expected in due course.
This extraordinary outcome will likely trigger severe legal repercussions for Dr Mann in the U.S. and may prove fatal to alarmist climate science claims that modern temperatures are “unprecedented.”
According the leftist The Guardian newspaper (Feb, 09, 2010), the wider importance of Mann’s graph over the last 20 years is massive:
“Although it was intended as an icon of global warming, the hockey stick has become something else – a symbol of the conflict between mainstream climate scientists and their critics.”
Putting Mann’s Fraudulent Graph Under the Microscope
Mann’s goal was to make the Little Ice Age (LIA) disappear, as we explained in our previous article on this issue. The LIA was an especially cold era that ended around 1840 and since then global temperatures have gradually risen. But government ‘experts’ like Mann have sought to use statistical trickery to make such natural variation appear as ‘man-made’ warming.
