Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 '76-8 Nuketown 2025!' Demolition Ownage! - Video
Brian Bess opens the garage doors of his shop next to his well-kept Wasilla home with a sprawling mountain view. The lawn is groomed, flowers bloom, and it is devoid of detritusnot at all expected of the environs of a demolition derby driver. The roaring noise the engines make when he revs his 76 Buick Riviera and Chevy truck split the calm, summer air as Bess, with a big grin on his face, parks his creations on his lawn. "They leak fluids," he says by way of explanation. The grass itself is stained Viagra blue, like a Smurf crime scene, from where he's painted the cars with house paint.
Theres something addictive about demolition derby. Theres an alchemy that happens when a driver scrambles through the drivers window of a car door welded shut and feels the rumble of the engine.
It happened to Bess at the age of 18. Raised in Pennsylvania, Bess says he headed to the State Fair with a helmet and gloves in tow as soon as he was legal. He knew that sometimes drivers will bring more than one car and was hoping someone would give him the chance to hit the track. Things worked his way and hes been entering derbies ever since. Once you drive it youre hooked. I know I was.
And here he is, 25 years later painting a white number six on the roof of the Buick and tinkering with his vehicles in advance of the coming weekends derbies. Bess, 43, is retired military, has driven in derbies in five different states and has a slough of trophies to show for it. He and his wife have recently moved into this home, which needed to meet two unwavering conditions: a view for his wife, and a shop for his derby cars.
I cant think of any comparable sport, you get this adrenaline rush along with the extreme sport surge, Bess says. And besides, hes only put about $1,000 into each car, substantially less than golf clubs and green fees, he points out. His wife says she has no interest in driving in a derby herself, but no fear for her husbands safety given the care he takes transforming vehicles into weapons of destruction. I know he builds them well so he wont get hurt, she says.
And there are regulations to what can appear like anarchy to the spectator. It seems strange at first glance that the promoters have so many rules for an event which is about destruction, but they are there for a reason. Safety primarily, but also to keep the playing field level, so to speak. But derbies are famous for cheating.
Demolition derby rules involve gray areas, and some people color much darker than others in those areas, Bess says. If you ain't cheating you ain't trying.
Although Bess denies cheating himself, he knows about some of the tricks other drivers will employ. Double tiresplacing one inside the other to avoid flats is a fairly common trick, one that is named in the regulations as it is hard to determine during inspection.
Some of the promoters stipulations are understandable. No hits in the drivers side door, no four-wheel-drive vehicles, no alcohol. Also commonly banned are Chevy Imperials because they are simply indestructible.
Bess often finds his cars on craigslist, investing somewhere between $100 and $300 for a running vehicle. Like most derby drivers hes particularly interested in 70s Detroit steel; the family car that would once have been lovingly polished in the driveway is now prized for its ability to inflict carnage on others.

In 2004, Pagliuso Custom Builders of Medford developed Budd Court in Tabernacle, building five homes in a six-lot development. The sixth property did not sell and has sat vacant for the past 10 years. The road surface in the development has not been given a top coat and landscaping required in the development was not completed.
Tabernacle Township solicitor Peter Lange contacted Pagliuso Custom Builders explaining that the remaining improvements are long overdue and the township committee would like to know when they will be completed.
The township committee questioned Frank Pagliuso at the August workshop meeting on why improvements to the development have not been completed.
According to Pagliuso, he has aggressively tried to sell the property alone or with a custom home but has not been successful. He said that even though he has reduced the price, he has had no offers. He stated that until he sells the property, he does not have the funds to complete the road work which is estimated at $33,000. Pagliuso stated that in developments such as this, the last house is where he makes his profit and until he sells it he will not be able to complete the requirements.
Pagliuso has been paying for a bond to the township for the past 10 years. He stated that he did not believe any of the open items were hurting the residents other than the top coat on the road. Pagliuso asked the township for an extension.
Township Committeeman Stephen Lee stated that he knows two of the five residents on Budd Court and theyre concerned about not having the top coat on the road.
I would not buy on Budd Court if I were looking in Tabernacle Township. I think you would have a better chance of selling the property if you put on the top coat, he told Pagliuso. Residents of Budd Court did not attend the meeting.
Pagliuso stated that he was not looking for the township to take possession of the road. He also told them that he would be able to complete the landscaping in the fall.
Mayor Joseph Barton explained that paving could only be performed in the fall and the spring and he would like to see it completed in the next paving season.

Builder in Tabernacle blames economy for delay
Its probably safe to assume that almost every Minnesotan has their idea of the perfect getaway in the northwoods next to a lake.
Weve probably marveled at the craftsmanship at a favorite resort lodge or a well-constructed vacation home, the finely woven log construction and natural beams, the gleen of polished wood, and said, Some day
Well, some day does come. Log Homes MN, based in Walker, Minnesota, has been making those dreams a reality for 35 years, building custom homes for clients throughout the state on their favorite tract of land. Log Homes MN works often with extended families. In fact, their number one source of business is referral, clients telling friends and family members.
Log Homes Minnesota has the expertise and flexibility to start at the blueprint state with every client so your log home can be whatever you want it to be. The home is designed to meet your needs and budget and enhance your property.
The LHM crew is well trained, have many years of experience and just love to build. The office staff, foremen and carpenters communicate and work together to ensure every detail is taken care of. Most importantly they take the time to listen to clients.
Their customer testimonials are impressive:
Building a house can be a trying experience for some people, that was NOT our experience working with Log Homes Minnesota. In 1999 we were looking to build a home on Potato Lake in Park Rapids, MN. We had been told that log houses were expensive to build, so we were looking for a conventional builder. A friend of ours was just completing a log home with Log Homes MN and recommended we talk with them. After meeting with Log Homes MNs sales representative, Steve Larson, we decided to go forward and have them build our home. We had existing floor plan ideas and Log Homes, MN efficiently placed then with one of their foot prints. We completed the house in February of 2000.
In 2002, the beautiful wooded lot next door to us became available. We contacted Steve Larson again and decided to build a second home with Log Homes MN on the new lot. Our second home was a modification of the first, similar in some respects, but also very different in others. The building process, however, was the same efficient and enjoyable. The second home was completed in May 2003. Building a second home with the same builder within 2 1/2 years of the first building experience says a lot about the builder. Im not looking to build a third house soon but if we were we would build it with Log Homes MN. We found that their costs were competitive, they completed things when they said they would, their builders were craftsmen, their subs were easy to work with and respectful. We couldnt be happier with the product that we received from Log Homes MN and we do not hesitate in recommending them to anyone considering building a home.
Log Homes Minnesota is located just north of Walker, which is in north central Minnesota, right on highway 371. You cant miss it, as they have three model homes, that provide the perfect opportunity to view the outstanding quality up close and give you plenty of ideas to incorporate into your dream home.

Buy land, theyre not making it anymore. That classic Mark Twain-attributed quote may often get wheeled out for property-related reasons, but if you are hoping to buy any to build your own home on youll find it heavy going.
A plot was hatched three years ago by the Government to encourage more self and custom build homes.
Empowering a small army of Britons to start building their own grand - or more modest - designs was touted as at least part of the answer to our twin problems of not building enough homes and too high house prices.

Grand Designs: Kevin McCloud's Channel 4 property show has put building your own home on the minds of many more people, but finding somewhere to do so is a problem.
