What's new:

As a class project for peace studies I have created a St Jude Children's Research Hospital Radiothon Page in dedication to the recent fundraiser at the radio station cluster I work for.

I also created a page for my Appalachian Music Project and here is that link:

RADFORD UNIVERSITY WENT TO THE NCAA TOURNAMENT AS BIG SOUTH CHAMPIONS-HOORAH! THEN THEY MET THE TARHEELS...OH MY.

The YouTube clip doesn't give it justice. I'm Tom Tillman the Producer and studio host for the Radford University Basketball Radio Network and to be honest the radio broadcast really captured the enthusiasm of the moment much better that Sport Center so here is the game winning call and some highlights from after the game on the radio's side of the ball game. Enjoy

Rick Watson and Jeff Klepin calling the game!

In other news, I just installed Braided Stainless Steel brake lines in my BMW this past weekend. It doesn't really make that much of a difference unless your digging into a corner hard but the old brake lines were 20 years old and I figured if I was going to replace them why not go for a little performance.

I JUST CAPTURED OUR LATEST STUDIO PROJECT. I ACTUALLY DIDN'T TAKE PART IN MUCH OF THE PRODUCTION ON THIS ONE....WELL I GUESS I WAS THE SUBJECT OF THE PRODUCTION INSTEAD.

I finally got my online portfolio pages working correctly. You will need Quicktime to view the videos and listen to the audio though. The website should automatically send you to a download site and the program is free if you do not have quicktime on your computer. I hope you like my work, it's amazing how much time goes into a 5 minute documentary or a 2 minute newspackage.

If your as interested in cars as I am you should check out the Autocross documentary I produced, it may open your eyes to a whole new idea if fun on the weekends.

Here is a link to the Video - Autocross the Documentary

So I finally did it...I asked Stacey to marry me. She said yes, so that's a good sign.

Update->We have set a date for the wedding---October 10th, 2009. It's in the books.

Projects:

Subframe bushings

The subframe bushings in car are completely busted and in need of replacement. I thought that the vibrations and movement from the rear end had to do with the play in my drive shaft but I am thinking differently now. The play in the drive shaft is not enough to create the effect I'm feeling and the subframe bushings are very old and torn. I've reinforced the bushings with delrin plates and an injection of polyeurythane but it only reduced the low speed side-to-side movement and only slightly limited the vertical movement.

The plate sits beneath the bushing and prevents flex as the drivetrain engages and dissengages.

The bushing itself has two hollow spaces running through it vertically that I have filled with polyeurythane window sealer.

I guess there's no replacement like the genuine BMW part though. When I do change these thare are being replaced with the M5 version that does not have the hollow spaces in the bushing.
