1967 Chevrolet Camaro RS - Deceiver
Mike Knopp's '67 Camaro Is Easily Underestimated.
Cars are a lot like people: Some are easily identified and categorized. One look and you can tell if it is fast or slow, cheap or ultra-expensive, or it if it's all looks and no substance. Other cars aren't so transparent, and some are downright deceptive. Beware of those cars-you'll never know what hit you till it's all over.
Mike Knopp's Camaro is a good example of the latter. At first glance, it's a rather typical, clean Camaro rolling on Torq-Thrust wheels. The one thing that really stood out was the stellar black paintjob. But when Mike popped the hood, we nearly had to pick ourselves up off the floor. A supercharged, fuel-injected Merlin 502 was the last thing we expected to see in the engine compartment. This car is way more than just a pretty face.
We were tipped off to Mike's car by its painter, Russ Stevenson of Gold Coast Customs. And don't think of this as shameless self-promotion on Russ' part-the car was just a shell when he painted it nearly 10 years ago. Actually, he was reminded of the car when Mike brought it back to him last year to have the firewall smoothed and repainted. Russ must have had the same reaction when he saw it, because he immediately phoned us up to tell us about this Camaro we just had to check out.
It's good that we did, too. Mike's Camaro is so full of surprises, you'd have to scrutinize it to take everything in. The aluminum big-block is certainly one of the highlights, but there is so much more to see. For example, check out the custom brackets Mike made to mount his supercharger and engine-driven accessories or the fuel blocks he machined out of chunks of aluminum. Everything was built with an artist's eye and strict attention to detail.
Best of all, though, is that Mike built the car because he's passionate about it. He didn't build it as an investment but instead because he loves first-gen Camaros and had always wanted one. He didn't drop it off at a shop and hand over his credit card. He built it mostly at home in his garage. Yes, it's full of top-shelf stuff, but he has a good job as an aerospace engineer. Don't blame him for being smart. Respect him for building a car that is easily underestimated until he mats the gas and blows you away.
Tech Notes
Who: Mike Knopp
What: '67 Chevrolet Camaro RS
Where: Newbury Park, California, a community in the city of Thousand Oaks.
Mike bought this car from a high school friend in 1997, and at the time it had your standard 350 small-block and a Muncie four-speed transmission. That served Mike for a couple of years until he could afford the engine he wanted: an aluminum Merlin 502 big-block. Even then, he ran that engine naturally aspirated and with a carburetor until he had the additional funds for the current setup-fuel injection and a supercharger. As it sits today, the Merlin block contains a Crower Enduro crank, JE 8.90:1 pistons, and a custom-ground Comp solid roller cam with 260/264 degrees duration and 0.644 lift. The AFR cylinder heads have 335cc intake runners and are fully CNC ported. Mike shipped the heads to Swain Tech Coatings in Scottsville, New York, to have the combustion chambers, exhaust ports, and the faces of the valves treated to a thermal barrier coating. The stainless steel intake valves measure 2.30, while the exhaust valves measure 1.88 and are made of Inconel alloy. The springs are from Crower, and the roller rocker arms are from Comp. A Cloyes Hex-A-Just timing set, Cometic gaskets, and ARP fasteners round out the long-block. JG Motorsports machined the block, and Mike assembled everything.
The biggest piece of eye candy under the hood is the ProCharger D1-R centrifugal supercharger and is driven by an eight-rib serpentine belt. It shoves air through a 1,000-cfm throttle body and into a Merlin single-plane intake manifold that Mike had modified to accommodate the port fuel-injection system.
Seeking driveability and tuneability, Mike made the switch to a FAST XFI electronic fuel injection. This is a sequential system that incorporates 85-lb/hr fuel injectors and wideband oxygen sensors. Mike tuned the car to run on pump gas, and an Aeromotive Eliminator fuel pump keeps up with the hungry big-block's demands.
Sparks are provided by an MSD HVC II coil and a FAST Dual Sync distributor. An MSD Digital 6 ignition box controls the show. For the sake of a clean-looking engine compartment, Mike stashed the controller in the glovebox.
Those are a pair of Lemons headers that were custom-fitted to the car. Mike told us the guys at Lemons would ship tack-welded headers to him, he'd bolt them on, take pictures of any clearance problems, and ship the headers back to Lemons for adjustments until they fit perfectly. He had them thermal-coated also. The remainder of the exhaust system consists of custom-bent 3-inch tubes and Flowmaster Delta 50 mufflers that are surprisingly quiet until Mike rolls past half-throttle.
Yes, we were wondering, too. Mike guesses this combination makes about 825 hp and 800 lb-ft. This isn't exactly a drag-race car, so he doesn't have any timeslips to back up those guesses. To any doubters out there, you should have seen this thing take off after the photo shoot: 825 is probably a pretty accurate guess.
Mike beefed up the driveline to cope with 800 lb-ft. A TKO-600 transmission has proved worthy so far, as has the Centerforce dual-friction clutch and Ram aluminum flywheel. A Lakewood scattersheld protects Mike from shrapnel in case it does grenade. Continuing on, he employs an aluminum Inland Empire driveshaft and a 12-bolt rear containing Richmond 3.42:1 gears, a limited-slip differential, and Moser axles.
A Detroit Speed and Engineering coilover conversion drastically improves the Camaro's front suspension geometry. The kit consists of Koni shocks and 650-lb/in springs. To that, Mike added a pair of Global West upper control arms, Del-a-lum bushings, and a Hotchkis sway bar. Koni shocks are out back, as are a pair of Global West leaf springs and CalTracs traction bars.
Mike switched over to Baer disc brakes way back when he first bought the car. The front rotors measure 13 inches and are gripped by a pair of two-piston calipers. Single-piston calipers and 12-inch rotors reside in the back.
Those are 17x8-inch American Racing Torq-Thrust IIs on all four corners. The tires are BFGoodrich G-Force KDWs and measure 245/ 45R17 front and 255/40R17 rear.
We like the fact that Mike kept the interior mostly stock. He redid the seats with the Deluxe upholstery and did a great job integrating a full set of Auto Meter Phantom gauges into the stock dash and console.
Believe it or not, the glimmering black paintjob is a full decade old, but it looked to us like the car had just rolled out of the paint booth. Russ Stevenson of Gold Coast Customs in Ventura, California, is the guilty party responsible for fooling our expert paint and body eyes.

BERLIN (AP) — The German economy shrank by a larger-than-expected 0.6 percent in the final quarter in 2012, official figures showed Thursday, in a clear sign that the European financial crisis took its toll on the continent's largest economy.
The quarterly decline was primarily due to a drop in exports as demand weakened from other European nations, many of which are in recession, the Federal Statistical Office said.
Germany relies heavily on exports to other European countries. As economic troubles grew in recent years in Spain, Italy and even France and Britain, demand for Germany's high-value industrial goods declined.
The fourth quarter drop was larger than the 0.4 to 0.5 percent decline being predicted by most economists, and was the German economy's worst performance since early 2009 when the world was reeling from a banking crisis. Overall the economy grew by a paltry 0.7 percent in 2012.
There are hopes that Germany has started 2013 in better shape. Germany's central bank, the Bundesbank, said last month that there were signs of improvement and that growth in the first quarter would prevent the country from falling into recession — officially defined as two consecutive quarters of negative growth.
ING economist Carsten Brzeski said Thursday's figures were disappointing but that there was "no reason to start singing the blues on the German economy." He noted improving confidence indicators, figures on factory orders and rising industrial production.
"With increased uncertainty stemming from the euro crisis and the global economic cooling in the second half of the year, the German economy has finally lost its invincibility," he said. "Looking ahead, however, there is increasing evidence that the economy should pick up speed again very quickly."
Even though German exports hit a record high last year, rising 3.4 percent overall, they shrank 0.3 percent to the 27-member European Union. They were down an even greater 2.1 percent to its 16 euro partners.
After a strong start to the year, exports only crept up 0.3 percent in December after two large declines in the previous three months.
Germany is the world's second largest exporter, having lost its crown as the world's biggest in 2009 to China.
The German government is predicting 0.4 percent growth overall for 2013, then an increase to 1.6 percent growth in 2014.

Once prized, the bike was discarded on the side of the road, and thought to be worthless. Much like Landis himself.
The 127 Corridor Sale is billed as the world's longest yard sale, extending from Michigan to Alabama along Route 127. So there had to be something worthwhile among the 600 or so miles of crap.
In Owenton, Ky., one resident found what looked like a broken down old bike. The seller said it had been abandoned on the highway, and all he wanted was $5 for it since the pedals were broken. Greg Estes paid his $5, and figured out pretty quickly they weren't broken; just some space-age custom made wizardry.
Turns out the bike was custom made for Floyd Landis, back before he became the Jose Canseco of cycling, and is worth thousands.
I feel like I've heard this story before. Call me when Maverick Carter beats the guy up and steals the bike back.
What a big deal [Owenton News-Herald]

Yoko Ono tweets picture of John Lennon's bloody glasses
In her fight against gun violence, John Lennon's widow, Yoko Ono, tweeted an image of what are said to be blood-stained glasses belonging to her ex-Beatle husband.
Lennon was shot and killed outside his Manhattan apartment building in 1980. The tweet came on what would have been the couple's 44th wedding anniversary. The image is similar to the cover art Ono used for her first studio album "Season of Glass," which was released in 1981.
"Over 1,057,000 people have been killed by guns in the USA since John Lennon was shot and killed on 8 Dec 1980," Ono tweeted.
Ono's tweet was retweeted more than 15,000 times, including a retweet from the Twitter account of @BarackObama.
Ono posted several more messages on her Twitter page:
31,537 people are killed by guns in the USA every year. We are turning this beautiful country into war zone. twitter.com/yokoono/status…— Yoko Ono (@yokoono) March 20, 2013
Join more than 900 mayors and over 1.4 million supporters to demand that Congress take action to end gun violence. demandaction.org— Yoko Ono (@yokoono) March 22, 2013

Thinking About Health: What does your insurance pay for?
If you've signed up for Obamacare or have begun using the coverage you already had, you've moved from the buyer's stage to the owner's stage.
Like owning a car, you have to read the fine print in the owner's manual to know what to do when things go wrong. In particular, you need to know who pays what for your care.
And that brings me to those hard-to-understand Explanations of Benefits, or EOBs, that insurers and doctors send out sometimes months after you've had treatment. The EOBs appear to show what insurers or Medicare have covered after they've evaluated or paid a claim on your behalf.
In reality, those EOBs are so confusing, it's hard to resist throwing them in a pile and forgetting about them. Yet, they will take on even greater importance as people enrolled in Obamacare policies realize they have bought high-deductible insurance, which may require them to pay several thousand dollars out of pocket before insurance kicks in.
A man I know recently had three cardiac studies, including a stress test, at a New York diagnostic testing center. The center sent a bill for $2,100. It showed an "adjustment" of $1,474, a "balance" of $197 and a column called "received" with an amount of $547.
An adjustment? For what, he asked.
The numbers didn't seem to add up. Nor were they labeled in a way he could understand them. Columns labeled "adjusted" and "received" meant little without an explanation of who was doing the adjusting or the receiving or who was paying the doctor.
Fine print under each of the three tests seemed to say his Medicare supplement carrier Emblem Health had made a $41 payment for one test, $117 for another and $40 for a third. However, those amounts also appeared under the "balance" column and presumably meant that's what he owed. If the carrier had paid those amounts, how could the patient still owe them?
And what did Medicare cover? For that, the man had to check the EOB from Emblem Health since Medicare had not yet sent its own Explanation of Benefits. They come quarterly, making it tough to match up the numbers in a timely way.
Emblem Health said the doctor billed Medicare $744, and Medicare paid $476. There was no amount for $476 listed on the doctor's bill.
"They don't make clear what the numbers mean and what they apply to," the man who got the tests said. "When you don't know what they mean, how do you know if the doctor is overbilling?
This was not the first time an EOB from Emblem Health caused confusion. Maybe other policyholders have had trouble, too. The latest EOB from the insurer advised that the carrier was working to improve its statements.
"You'll see changes," it promised. "A streamlined look and clear, easy-to-understand explanations of how benefits work."
That's the problem. Each insurer is free to design its own disclosure statement. Without oversight from insurance regulators — historically, they've paid little attention to this problem — carriers can do as they please. That, of course, makes it hard when people switch insurers at open enrollment. Millions more will be doing that now that they have insurance.
A study reported last month in the health policy journal "Health Affairs" estimated that about half of new enrollees in the state insurance exchanges are likely to lose coverage during the year because of changes in family income. More income could mean a lower subsidy, for example, and that means a higher premium a family may have to pay out of pocket. That might be tough.
When and if they do re-enroll, it means learning how to decipher a new insurer's EOB. People insured through their work also face this task when employers offer new carriers, which many do every year or so.
This man's trouble understanding a simple claim shows how hard it is to take charge of our care, as some health experts say we should. Imagine how difficult this exercise would be if a patient had dozens of claims forms and EOBs for a serious illness.
Health care is not like other market goods we buy. It is not like toothpaste or canned peaches where we clearly see the price of what we are buying and understand what it means. Health care fundamentally is different. Despite all the talk about health care consumerism, it's still darn hard to find out what a medical service actually costs.
The mess of the jumbled up EOBs needs to be tidied up, possibly with standardization or regulation if we're really serious about health care consumerism and the promise of transparency and clarity advanced by health reform.
It needs to be fixed if we're expecting Americans, including seniors, to take on more of the burden of paying for their care.
The confused man in this story walked over to the diagnostic center and asked office personnel to explain his bill. He came back satisfied. Complaining in person to your doctor or calling 1-800-Medicare may be the best remedy for the time being.

Films tend to confirm, not confront, stereotypes. Not so Israeli director Rama Burshtein's exquisitely acted, radiantly shot, and delicately nuanced "Fill the Void," a melodrama set in the ultra-Orthodox Haredi Jewish community of Tel Aviv. By bringing to life complex and sympathetic characters in a precisely observed setting and social framework, and by presenting that isolated world as a microcosm, Burshtein has achieved a gripping film without victims or villains, an ambiguous tragedy drawing on universal themes of love and loss, self-sacrifice and self-preservation.
First comes love. In a supermarket, 18-year-old Shira (Hadas Yaron), attended by her mother, Rivka (Irit Sheleg), spies on the young man whom she has to marry. Contrary to expectations, she's totally smitten. But then in the middle of a robust Purim celebration, Shira's older sister Esther (Renana Raz) dies in childbirth.
Complicating the family's grief is the status of Esther's child. Her husband, Yochai (Yiftach Klein), has arranged to marry a woman in Belgium, where he plans to relocate, taking the baby with him. Having lost her daughter, Rivka will not suffer the loss of her grandchild. She proposes a radical alternative: Shira will marry Yochai.
At first no one likes the idea. Shira's father, the Rabbi Aharon (Chayim Sharir), has qualms about the prospect. Frieda (Hila Feldman), the 30-something always-a-bridesmaid-never-a-bride, feels like she should have a shot at Yochai. The strongest objections come from Shira's Aunt Hanna (Razia Israeli). She encourages her niece's apparent wish to be independent and free. She herself has never married, but, in a stunning cut, it is revealed why; the sleeves of her dress are empty — she has no arms, and consequently, never had any suitors.
Shira is also conflicted. She wants to please her mother and see that the child is raised properly, but can't bring herself to committing. Is she still in love with the man she was previously matched with? Is she not attracted to Yochai, the best-looking guy in the movie? Meanwhile, Yochai hasn't exactly warmed to her. But more compelling than those reasons is something else, deep and powerful and not yet articulated.
Burshtein relates this complex and subtle predicament with suggestive precision. Employing artful ellipses, she lets time pass unremarked until oblique details reveal things have changed — for example, in one moment Esther's son is an infant, in the next he's a toddler. Each scene evokes the depths and complexities of the Haredic world. The Purim celebration, compared by some to the wedding sequence in "The Godfather," offers little epiphanies about the lives and relationships of the whole community. Exterior scenes sparkle with color and vibrancy, and the interiors radiate warmth and security; but the close-ups of the characters' faces, anxious and conflicted, contradict these appearances.
So why is Shira balking? Cornered by Yochai, Shira says she won't marry him because she's afraid of death. It's a jarring admission, but not surprising. She's seen her sister die from giving birth, and when she finds herself alone confronting the consequences of her choice, her terror suggests that she recognizes the mortal cycle into which she has been initiated — the void that no human arrangements can fill.

Anaphylaxis, serum sickness, and delayed sensitivity may occur in otherwise normal, nonallergic individuals as well as allergics, as a response to substances that are highly sensitizing.

In some cases, hypersensitized individuals receive injections of gradually increasing quantities of the antigenic material to which they are sensitive, in order to avoid or lessen their hypersensitivity to that particular substance.
Heightened reactivity to antigens (molecules capable of stimulating an immune response). Many different examples of hypersensitivity have been recognized in animals and humans. These are often referred to collectively as allergies, and clinically may take such forms as asthma, hives, hay fever, anaphylactic reactions to certain foods or insect venoms, some forms of eczema and kidney diseases, and skin reactions to poison ivy antigens and many other substances. See Antigen
Because molecules foreign to the body are often antigenic, the various forms of hypersensitivity are most commonly induced either by exposure to foreign antigens derived from microorganisms during infections, or by contact with certain noninfectious agents (some plant pollens, some drugs, and certain simple chemicals such as components of poison ivy). However, under certain circumstances, molecules of the body itself can induce an immune response. In these cases, hypersensitivity reactions can be directed against antigens of the body's own organs or tissues. Whether foreign or derived from the body itself, antigenic substances often produce little or no tissue reaction in unsensitized individuals. But once hypersensitivity develops, additional exposure to antigen can give rise to clinically obvious symptoms (hives, sneezing, runny nose), tissue damage, or even (in certain extreme cases) death. See Autoimmunity
The development of hypersensitivity in animals or humans may be divided into two phases. During the first phase, induction of hypersensitivity, exposure of the organism to antigen results in (1) recognition of the antigen by cells of the immune system; (2) proliferation (multiplication) of the types of immune cells that recognize and respond to that antigen; and (3) long-term storage of the information required to recognize and respond to the antigen in immune "memory" cells. Although a variety of cell types assist in these processes, all of the three functions are primarily dependent on various types of lymphocytes.
Once the state of hypersensitivity has been induced, reexposure of the organism to the antigen that induced the response usually leads to the second phase, expression of a hypersensitivity reaction. Hypersensitivity reactions historically have been classified according to two characteristics: the delay between the exposure of a previously sensitized (hypersensitive) individual to antigen and the development of a clinically recognizable reaction; and the types of cells and humoral substances thought to be responsible for the induction and expression of the reaction. According to this scheme, classical delayed hypersensitivity reactions differ from other forms of hypersensitivity in first becoming clinically prominent in sensitized individuals approximately 1 day after exposure to the specific antigen against which the individual expresses hypersensitivity; and depending for their expression on the activity of certain lymphocytes (thymic-dependent lymphocytes, or T cells) rather than soluble antibodies. By contrast, immediate hypersensitivity reactions may develop within seconds or minutes of exposure to specific antigen, and require the participation of antibodies. See Antibody
In addition to its association with certain infections, delayed hypersensitivity has been implicated in a variety of noninfectious disease processes. These include the annoying reactions induced in some individuals by contact with certain plants (for example, poison ivy), detergents, or drugs, as well as certain of the immune responses resulting in the rejection of transplanted tissues such as skin, kidneys, and hearts. In many of these processes, the immunological reactions are thought largely to reflect the activity of T lymphocytes (as in classical delayed hypersensitivity), whereas in others soluble antibodies may also have a role. See Cellular immunology, Transplantation biology
Immediate hypersensitivity reactions, collectively known as allergies, occur usually within minutes or up to a few hours after inhalation, ingestion, or injection of an antigen. Such reactions may be severe, even life-threatening, such as anaphylactic shock and asthma, or relatively minor but uncomfortable, such as hay fever or urticaria (hives). They may be of short duration—hours for anaphylaxis—or prolonged for several days or even weeks, as in immune complex-induced vasculitis. See Allergy
Hypersensitivities have been classified into four main types with different mechanisms: type I, anaphylaxis or atopy; type II, cytotoxic or cytolytic; type III, immune complex or Arthus reaction; and type IV, delayed or cellular-immune; the last type has been described above.
In type I the antigen is recognized immunologically upon first exposure and initiates antibody formation, usually of immunoglobulin E (IgE) or IgG class. IgE-mediated allergy, known as atopy, has a strong hereditary component, and occurs commonly in humans and dogs, while IgG-mediated anaphylaxis can occur in most vertebrates. The antibodies (IgE or IgG) attach or fix to target cells, such as tissue mast cells and blood basophils. Upon subsequent exposure to the antigen, the target cell–fixed antibodies react with antigen to cause degranulation and release of chemical mediators, such as histamine. See Histamine, Immunoglobulin
In cytotoxic or cytolytic (type II) reactions, the antigen may be certain altered body cells themselves; they may be altered physically or by chemicals and drugs attached to the cells. These are usually circulating cells, such as red blood cells coated with penicillin, platelets coated with a drug, or white blood cells coated with sulfonamides. Altered cells are recognized by the body's immune system as foreign or altered self, and IgG or IgM antibodies are formed which react with the altered cells and activate the serum complement enzymatic cascade that culminates in the lysis of the altered cells. Thus, cytotoxic hypersensitivity leads to anemia, bleeding due to low platelet levels, and increased infections from loss of white blood cells (agranulocytosis).
In immune complex or Arthus (Type III) reaction, neither antibody nor antigen is fixed to cells. Rather, they combine in various ratios in blood and tissues. If they are in the proper ratio, they form microprecipitates, or immune complexes, in capillaries and venules. The immune complexes activate complement to form chemoattractants for neutrophils and monocytes. Microprecipitates and phagocytosing neutrophils block the small vessels, resulting in a typical Arthus reaction—lack of blood to the tissue and subsequent tissue necrosis and death.

Gardeners dig in
Not that there's anything wrong with the stuff you'd get at Safeway or Home Depot, but some of the area's prettiest gardens are planted with items purchased at Denver Botanic Gardens' annual plant sale.
The 58th edition opened May 10 with a preview party that offered those willing to pay a little extra first dibs on the annuals, perennials, shrubs and cacti that went on sale to the public the following day.
Mary Schaefer and her daughter, Amy Slothower, chaired the preview with help from a committee made up of Barbara Baldwin, Leslie Baldwin, Janet Ellis, Judy Grant, Karin Harvey, Sheilagh Hudon, Kay Malo, Stephanie Sabga, Jaala Sheldon, Chantal Unfug and Marilyn Wilson.
Fiesta de Flores was the theme.
Guests started arriving at 4:30 p.m. to peruse the sale items spread throughout the gardens. The entry fee that they paid — $75 per person or $125 a couple — included cocktails and a fiesta dinner at 6:30 in Mitchell Hall. Guitarist Robert Eldridge provided the music.
The money raised helps keep the gardens running.
Pictures taken at the preview party can be seen at denverpost.com/SeenGallery.
Society Editor Joanne Davidson's column appears every Sunday, Wednesday and Friday in the Scene section. She can be reached at 303-809-1314 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

text: Mohs surgery. A surgical procedure to remove a visible lesion on the skin in several steps. First, a thin layer of cancerous tissue is removed. Then, a second thin layer of tissue is removed and viewed under a microscope to check for cancer cells. More layers are removed one at a time until the tissue viewed under a microscope shows no remaining cancer. This type of surgery is used to remove as little normal tissue as possible.

The pet RNG gods took pity on my soul this weekend and Brann gave me enough of the right fragments to finally discover the final archaeology pet in my journal, da Crawling Claw!
To celebrate this moment, I've compiled a few other famous "claws":
Bruce Lee vs. Han with his claw
Inspector Gadget's Dr. Claw
Toy Story and "the Claw"
Wolverine and his claws
And speaking of gods, I didn't realize how close I was to solving a certain Nerubian artifact, so I used my leftover crates to discover da Blessing of the Old God, which is a cool on-use item that transfers you into a Green Qiraji Battle Tank for 20 seconds.
Not quite the "bug" I was looking for, but I'll take it. =)
Brann is safe from punting…for now. Let's hope I don't have to wait as long to solve this, lol.

Ha! I didn't really hypothesize it, I sanded and filled my wing for hours last year. Spotz 2 front wing is that way.
The moses rear stab I liked seemed to have a very different profile root to tip.
E212 came to me through browsing the comparison tool on airfoiltools.com I don't read all the scientific polar graphs or know much of the heavy stuff
Ya heavy ! I made that 1100 solid and it melted the mold, did I mention 3.6lb
Yes I believe foam core will be normal . Bigger sizes are much stronger from a big curvy skin. . 1 layer of 6 oz is startlig on foam. Maybe floatation would be good for a pro too!

Quiet spots in a very busy place
|Water garden at one of the entrances
|Glowing Coke machine
Courtyard renovation
Dozens (hundreds?) of people were traveling through the ground floor of the Medical Center. Some offices had lines that stretched down the hallways. Our first two waiting rooms were small and crowded. On the 4th floor, the elevators opened to a quiet, spacious waiting area. "I'll stay here," I told Dennis.
I had a stack of magazines in my bag, and I looked through five of them while I was waiting. I tore out the few pages that I wanted to save. Then I passed on the magazines by leaving them with the other reading material on the table. I also left several magazines in the waiting rooms downstairs.
Getting rid of those magazines in a good way and being there to drive my husband home were my two best (and only) accomplishments of this day.

The "Star whore" sucking tongue with Harrison Ford in the rough cut of the Cantina was of some ill-gotten fame as well I believe.Her scenes on the CD-ROM are cool BDW. The whole anchorhead/Biggs thing is something I'd like added to the film in its entirety and in color/clear sound. Just something cool to expand yet, and show how Luke's character evolves some.The pre-film T-16 Skyhopper race in the novel would be cool too I think. Give you an idea how he's so good with an X-Wing immediately.

Thumbs Up/Down
New future for old Middle School
THUMBS UP: For years the big question for District 88 has been "What do we do with the Middle School?"
At last, the decision has been made and carried through. District 88 and a community-based group, Cenate LLC, closed the deal selling the former school building to Cenate. District 88, which had housed its administrative offices in the middles school, will be leasing office space from Cenate.
Cenate is made up of a number of community members (including Journal Publisher Bruce Fenske, in the interest of disclosure), who want to see the property developed as an asset for the community, perhaps in part as residential property. A big focus of the group is to maintain and preserve the auditorium as a performance area. New Ulm Actors Community Theater has signed a two-year lease for the auditorium, to become its new home.
The Middle School has served New Ulm for a long time as a school building. With this change, it will continue to serve the community long into the future.
Tragedy in the
blink of an eye
THUMBS DOWN: One of the saddest stories we've seen this week is one that was entirely preventable.
A young mother in Luverne was bicycling along Highway 270 near her home on Monday, with her two young children being towed behind. They were struck by a pickup truck driven by Christopher Weber of Madison, S.D., who crossed the white line into the shoulder. According to criminal vehicular homicide charges filed this week, Weber was driving while trying to conduct some mobile banking business on his cell phone. He apparently was looking at the phone, not at the road as he came over a hill. As a result, Andrea Boeve, 33, is dead and her children ages 4 and 1, are injured.
This is as clear a lesson as can be when it comes to using a cell phone while driving. It is NEVER a good idea. Do not take or make calls, do not text, do not use an app while you are driving. If your business is that urgent and can't wait, pull over and take care of it before you continue on.

The Oxford Pickle Company was the oldest continuously operating business in Deerfield, Massachusetts. Alvord Jewett (1871-1951) opened the pickle factory in South Deerfield in 1896. It remained in the family until the early 1950s when it was purchased by the John E. Cain Company of Cambridge, Massachusetts. The plant changed hands several times, most recently purchased by an investor's group which included local farmers. The plant was later closed. This photograph shows some of the hundreds of pickle tanks that could store nearly 25 million pounds of stock.

So I've decided to help you out. I'm going to read Twilight, so you don't have to. I'll provide a complete synopsis -- not a review, although I may editorialize now and then -- right here in my blog, a couple chapters at a time, as fast as I can
Here's a synopsis of the Preface and Chapter 1 of Twilight by Stephenie [sic] Meyer.
Bella's gonna die, but that's OK because she's in love or something. Except she's not really gonna die, because she's telling the story in the first person past tense, which she couldn't do if she were dead. And there are three sequels anyway. But I'll pretend I don't know that, so it'll be suspenseful.
Chapter 1. First Sight
Bella complains about not being able to live with her mom anymore. She complains about moving to a small town. She complains about the weather. She complains about not fitting in. She complains about how she looks. She complains about the weather some more. She complains about having to live with her dad. She complains because her truck is so noisy. She complains about the way her new high school looks. I begin to sense a pattern.
Bella goes to school. She complains because a nerdy boy is nice to her. A teacher makes her blush. Another teacher makes her blush. She starts to make friends at school. She sees some Beautiful Vampires, but she doesn't know what they are yet. I do, though, since I know this is a book about Beautiful Vampires. I have a hard time deciding if this qualifies as dramatic irony, because although I know something Bella doesn't, the knowledge is not supplied by the text. One of the Beautiful Vampires looks at Bella and makes her blush. His name is Edward. He has bronze-colored hair.
Bella has to sit by Edward in biology because the only empty seat is next to him. He looks like he's mad at her. Bella blushes again. I begin to wonder whether she's easily embarrassed or prematurely menopausal. Edward has black eyes. Not like punched-in-the-face black eyes, black irises. And bronze hair. He acts like he hates Bella.
A not-nerdy boy talks to Bella. She doesn't complain about that. She does complain because she has to take PE.
Edward has bronze hair, and he hates Bella.

WHO ate all the PIs? Sales of Brit mini-puter pass 2 MEELLION
'Bit of a shock' say Pi guys
The Raspberry Pi foundation has announced that it has sold two million of the tiny computers.
The milestone is remarkable because two million is a nicely large number but more so because the Pi guys have noticed that sales are accelerating ahead of projections.
"It took us almost exactly a year to sell the first million Raspberry Pis," writes the Foundation's Liz Upton. "Going on that basis, we calculated that we might, if we were lucky, reach the second million around January 2014, or slightly afterwards – we were confident we'd get there by the end of February 2014. So it was a bit of a shock at the end of last week when we got the latest sales figures and discovered that the 2,000,000th Raspberry Pi was sold in the last week of October."
Upton's post announcing the two millionth sale also reminisces about the first batch of 2000 Pis and her realisation that each one of those machines now has 1,000 siblings.
That's a figure that puts the success of the Pi project into perspective nicely.
The news also suggests the Pi project is in rude health, as Upton and the rest of the crew have seemingly been able to pay less-than-granular attention to sales data. That bespeaks strong cash flow as were the company watching every penny it would surely be looking at this kind of data rather more often. ®

Today's post comes from my friend Hana Suckstorff. Hana is a Weinberg senior who's a peer minister with the University Christian Ministry and was an intern with the Interfaith Youth Core. You can find Hana's column, which is mostly on religion and politics in America in the Daily Northwestern. Today, Hana writes about the Christian calling to be a bridge-builder and peacemaker.
The word "interfaith" frightens off a fair number of people. Some think that interactions with people of other faiths will weaken their own religious identities, while others fear that any interreligious activity that isn't focused solely on conversion will compromise deeply held exclusive truth claims. Personally, I have never worried about either possibility. While I do not feel the obligation to proselytize as strongly as some other Christians might, I see in interfaith work a fantastic platform for developing the kind of close personal relationships needed for effective witnessing, not to mention something constructive gets done in the process.
With regard to the first concern, the diversity of my hometown pretty much ensured that I'd have to be comfortable dealing with different religious perspectives if I wanted to maintain my own Christian identity. Since we attended church in a different town, none of my high school friends went to church with me, nor for that matter were they uniformly Christian. I remember being slightly flummoxed once in eighth grade when a friend of mine, who I knew had been raised Catholic, invited me to a Beltane celebration. While I had no interest in such festivities, I knew the offer had been made out of a spirit of kindness and hospitality, so I politely declined and shook off my shock that druidic rites were still practiced in suburbia.
It's that same spirit of welcome, of openness and inclusion, which lies at the heart of my own faith and which compels me to seek out constructive interfaith activity. Genesis says that God created man in His own image—not just Christians, but all people, regardless of religious persuasion. The Bible also tells me that as a Christian I am called to work toward peace and understanding in the world. That means engaging not only those who come from my own faith background, but all other children of God, no matter how greatly their spiritual perspectives may differ from mine.
While my more abstract understanding of God's love inspires my desire to work cooperatively with people of other faiths, my experience with interfaith work sustains that wish. In high school I interviewed a Hindu woman from the local temple about Diwali, a Hindu holiday, for an article for the school paper. As she patiently answered my elementary questions and explained that the lights of Diwali symbolized the triumph of good over evil, I thought back instantly to the Christian celebration of light, Advent, when we frequently read John 1:5: "The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it." Her faith commitment reminded me of my own. The palpable warmth with which she spoke to me embodied the very love, which I believe God calls me to exhibit. While her convictions were firmly Hindu, she was challenging me to be a better Christian by showing me what Christian love looked like.
In marked contrast to those who worry that interfaith work waters down an individual's distinct religious faith, I have found that such work strengthens my faith. Interfaith work is, for me, a duty of faith and something which sustains it. And it reminds me, always, that everyone in this world, from my druidic friend to my Hindu interviewee to you and me, is made in the image of God.

Surprise. Not only does FOX News' Bill O'Reilly disagree with the right-wing Heritage Foundation on health care reform ... he supports the public option.
"I want, not for personally for me, but for working Americans, to have a option, that if they don't like their health insurance, if it's too expensive, they can't afford it, if the government can cobble together a cheaper insurance policy that gives the same benefits, I see that as a plus for the folks.
Does this make Bill O the "left of the left"? Last month, he called a government-run health care program "socialism."

Hi everyone!
If you're reading this, I'm guessing that you are a fan of Dollys.
I am, and it seems like my Dolly fanhood is always revived when I am going through a difficult time in my life. Listening to her music and her positive attitude always makes me feel better, no matter what. Not very many people know that I am a fan, and maybe some of them will make fun of me for it. I really dont care.
I know that she has this effect on a lot of people.
So if you are reading this and a registered user to this forum, why are you a fan?

Opening Statement of Senator James M. Inhofe
Ranking Member, Committee on Environment and Public Works
Oversight Hearing on Federal Drinking Water Programs
December 08, 2009, 10:00 a.m.
Thank you, Madam Chairman, for taking the time today to discuss our nation's Federal drinking water programs. I think there is one thing that everyone in this room can agree on: clean, safe, affordable drinking water is a national priority.
Through the Safe Drinking Water Act, we have had great success in providing America with clean, safe drinking water. As our technology has improved, we have been able to detect smaller amounts of contaminants, and EPA has regulated more contaminants.
Complying with EPA's new regulations has been difficult. Oklahoma has municipalities who struggle with the 2002 arsenic rule, and many of our small systems are having difficulty with the Disinfection Byproducts Stage I rule. Additionally, small systems that purchase water from other systems and were previously not required to test, treat or monitor their water must now comply with Disinfection Byproducts Stage II rule.
I am pleased today that we will hear from Gene Whatley, of the Oklahoma Rural Water Association. Gene understands the problems facing small drinking water systems, and I look forward to his testimony on how small systems are coping with Federal Regulations.
I know there have been many press reports recently about pharmaceuticals and other chemicals in drinking water. Our committee has held hearings on these issues in April and May of 2008. I would remind my colleagues that in 1996, under leadership of former Chairman Chafee and Ranking Member Baucus, Congress was successful in amending the Safe Drinking Water Act. Here's what they did: The amendments required EPA to set standards if the contaminants "have known health effects," and are "known to occur in public water systems with a frequency and at levels of public health concern." The amendments also gave EPA the opportunity for "health risk reduction for persons served by a public water system." I encourage my colleagues to allow EPA to keep working through this process - we don't need new legislation that requires EPA to set standards for chemicals simply because they have received press attention.
I would also like to take the opportunity to remind the committee that we need to improve our nation's drinking water facilities by reauthorizing the State Revolving Loan Fund programs, both for drinking water and waste water. We cannot expect our communities to continue to provide safe drinking water if they do not have the resources to meet their infrastructure needs. This committee has the responsibility to ensure clean, safe, and affordable water for our country by providing the necessary resources to states and local governments. Madame Chairman, EPA estimates that over the next twenty years, eligible drinking water systems will need over $300 billion in infrastructure investments. I believe that many of the issues we are discussing today will be helped by passing S. 1005, the Water Infrastructure Financing Act.
Thank you again for holding this important hearing, and I look forward to hearing from our witnesses.

Album Description
When i produced "Where are da swingaz?" for a demo floppy in 1995 using an Amiga 500 running Protracker, i never thought this track would have such a story.
It first was used to create an anthem called "Pitiway" for our skater crew at that epoque.
Then when i discovered Protools fiver years later, the vocals of that track were the perfect material for a 24-bit glitching experience... The abstrakt mix and "Pitibidule" were born in 2001 and included to a demo cd called "Maket" that never was released.
Finally this summer 2011, i met Pit (the guy we used to call Pitiway in the 90's when he was a kid) and he asked me if i still had that old track i had made for the crew fifteen years ago...
While exhuming the Amiga floppies, instead of just converting files to mp3s, i ended by creating another version on my laptop with Renoise and some groovy vsts!

Johnny Manziel injures knee, but returns to lead Aggies to win
Now that's something that Johnny Manziel hasn't done.
On Texas A&M's second possession Saturday night against Ole Miss, the sophomore quarterback rolled to his left looking for Mike Evans in the end zone.
MORE: Week 7 photos | Scoreboard
As he threw the ball -- the pass was wide and incomplete – he came down awkwardly on his left leg and immediately clutched his left knee.
Even the fans at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium in Oxford were quiet.
Mighty Johnny Football was down and, as everyone knows, knee injuries are usually serious.
But not this time. Not to Manziel.
The Heisman winner was helped to the sidelines, fitted for a brace and returned to the field when the Aggies got the ball again.
And good thing for A&M. He led the Aggies on a final possession drive that culminated in game-winning field goal. In the 41-38 win, Manziel threw for 346 yards on 31 of 39 passing and also ran for 122 yards and two scores.
"Just like any other player that goes down, I am concerned about them," Aggies coach Kevin Sumlin said. "This has happened before and we have talked about it. I didn't see what happened but we communicated about it and he said he was ready to go back in."
He showed no ill effects from the injury. In fact, he looked like his usual self on several running plays -- one time in the first half he left an Ole Miss defender grabbing grass with a nifty juke move in the open field. In the third quarter he scrambled up the middle and scored from five yards out by dodging several defenders.

When a loud motorcycle woke up Mark Nesdoly's young daughter, he decided he had enough. Instead of taking a baseball bat to the offending Harley, Nesdoly used his engineering skills to design the Noise Snare, a video detection system for loud vehicles.
The system is simple, yet effective. It uses a microphone to detect excessively loud vehicles and a video camera to record the offender as he or she drives by. Once you have video footage, you can lift an image of the driver, zoom in on his or her license plate, or extract the audio track to prove the person's car or motorcycle is way too loud.
All you need to do is mount the unit on a stationary object and the Noise Snare does the rest. It even connects to a wireless network and sends text messages or emails when a violation is recorded. The detection system works so well that the Canadian city of Calgary may field test the device in the upcoming months. [Gizmag]

Pippa Middleton has reportedly taken legal action to shut down a parody Twitter account that uses her name after the account holders published a novelty book doling out inane parenting advice.
Publication of Pippa's widely panned party-planning book, "Celebrate: A Year of Festivities for Families and Friends," apparently gave rise to the account @pippatips. Said to be run by Mat Morrisroe and Suzanne Azzopardi, it dispenses simplistic tips and observations for followers based on the tone of the younger Middleton sister's predictable tome.
Here are a few choice tweets:
- #PippaTip: headache tablets can be a great in helping deal with a headache
- #PippaTip: for the fashion conscious amongst you, stylish new clothes can often be acquired at shops by going shopping
- #PippaTip: finish typing before pressing send on a tweet
- #PippaTip: learning can be a fulfilling experience, you can learn by finding out things you didn't know before
- #PippaTip: avoid getting lost by consulting with a map
- #PippaTip: hair of the dog is not the actual hair of a dog, it just means having a drink in order to stave off the effects of a hangover
- #PippaTip: when writing a book your publisher will send you proofs, a passport or other photo ID like a driving license should suffice
- #PippaTip: A nice walk. Have a fun time by leaving the house & placing one foot in front of the other whilst looking at things with your eyes
You get the idea.
The mock account appears to have sprouted in October 2012, and soon after it amassed 50,000 followers, the writers reached a book deal, according to Britain's Independent.
In June, the authors published the tongue-in-cheek baby manual "What to Expect When One is Expecting: A Posh Person's Guide to Pregnancy and Parenting." The satirical manual answers questions like: "Does 'nesting' mean I have to live in a tree?" and "Is caviar suitable for weaning?" Relevant questions for those expecting a little monarch or lord, no?
The book jacket simply says the authors are the "Creators of @pippatips," not Middleton, Morrisroe or Azzopardi.
But it seems with sister Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, about to give birth to the third in line to the British throne, a book dispensing such tips -- even as a satire -- is in questionable taste. Middleton, 29, had her legal team from the London-based firm of Harbottle & Lewis send a letter to Morrisroe and Azzopardi's publisher, Icon Books, demanding that they delete the @Pippatips account. If not, further legal action will take place.
The fate of the book itself is unclear.

These major accomplishments can prove costly.
Dodgers catcher A.J. Ellis sprained his right ankle in the on-field celebration after Josh Beckett's no-hitter Sunday in Philadelphia, stepping on, of all things, catcher Drew Butera's mask.
The Dodgers put Ellis on the 15-day disabled list before Monday's game against the Cincinnati Reds and called up Tim Federowicz from triple-A Albuquerque.
Ellis came off the DL May 14 after left knee surgery. He has four hits in 23 at-bats (.174) since returning. Federowicz was hitting .298 with the Isotopes.
Since Ellis did not play Sunday, the DL move is retroactive to May 25. The Dodgers tried to treat the ankle during the flight home, but Ellis said he knew when he awoke Monday that he would be out awhile.
Butera is in the lineup Monday but Matt Kemp and Hanley Ramirez are out for the fourth consecutive game.
Also, broadcasting legend Vin Scully won't work Monday's game because of a chest cold.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The Houston Dynamo are headed to their second straight Eastern Conference final, and they have their resolute defense – and some wayward finishing from Sporting KC – to thank for the honor.
In front of a wild crowd of 20,894, Kansas City came up just short in their quest to erase a 2-0 first-leg deficit in the Eastern Conference semifinals. They huffed and puffed, but in the end, their finishing just wasn't up to snuff, wining 1-0 but allowing the Dynamo to survive 2-1 on aggregate despite having just 29 percent of the possession.
Seth Sinovic scored the lone goal for KC via a diving second-half header, as Sporting racked up 20 attempts shots, 31 open-play crosses and five corner kicks. Houston managed just three shots, none in the second half, as they focused on defending their narrow lead in the face of unrelenting KC pressure.
OPTA Chalkboard: KC relentless, but Dynamo hold on
Still, it didn't matter. Houston's effort in the first leg was more than enough, and they'll go on to face the winner of the New York and D.C. United, who will play their second leg Thursday at 6:30 pm CT after inclement weather postponed proceedings at Red Bull Arena.
From the very start, Sporting KC played like a team with their season hanging by a thread, but despite wave after wave of attacks, they couldn't truly test Tally Hall in the Dynamo goal as Houston kept 10 men behind the ball.
The first real opportunity came in the 19th minute, when a bad touch by Kei Kamara slipped fortuitously into the right channel for C.J. Sapong, but his shot was directly at Hall. Minutes later, Kamara set up Zusi with a square ball across the penalty box, but Zusi's right-footed effort landed high in the stands.
Sporting kept Houston on the back foot, and were just inches away from pulling back the first goal in the 26th minute after a slick bit of build up. Rosell started the move by slipping the ball through to Roger Espinoza, who laid it off for Zusi. With Houston caught ball watching, Zusi played Chance Myers in behind and the right back squared for Kamara, whose goal-bound shot was blocked by Bobby Boswell.
Houston, content to force Kansas City into wide areas and defend service from the flanks, was fortunate that Sporting struggled to find a final touch once again after a half hour. Kamara, ever a threat in the air, nodded a diagonal ball into the path of Sapong, but the second-year man couldn't gather and shoot with enough pace to trouble Hall.
Of little consolation for Kansas City after a frustrating first half was their dominance on the score sheet – 73-percent possession and 11 open-play crosses to the Dynamo's zero.
Those trends continued in the second half, but Sinovic eventually found the breakthrough in the 63rd minute. Kamara drove the ball into the final third with a trademark run, laying off to a streaking Zusi, who lifted the ball to the back post for a diving header by the overlapping left back.
That ignited both Sporting KC and the crowd, and the home side put the screws to a Houston side that struggled to find the ball for any extended period.
An equalizer nearly came in the 75th minute, but Peterson Joseph's perfectly weighted ball toward the penalty area was chipped over the bar by Sapong with Hall bearing down on him.
From there, however, Houston's defense, led by veteran Bobby Boswell, who had his second straight standout performance, put the clamps on and protected the result. With it, the fifth-seeded Dynamo celebrated for the second straight year at LSP, a spot where few other teams have had success in the building's brief history.
The first leg of the Eastern Conference Championship will be at BBVA Compass Stadium on Sunday at 3 pm CT on NBC Sports Network.

The Bahamas was part of the record-breaking 2014 IOC World Conference on Prevention of Injury and Illness in Sport that came to a close on 12 April, in Monaco.
Dr. Rickey Davis represented the Bahamas Olympic Committee as Chair of its established Medical Commission.
The meetings, described by many delegates as the most constructive yet for researchers and practitioners in the field of sports medicine and prevention, were attended by a record 980 participants from 81 countries, and included 113 speakers, 5 keynote lectures, 24 symposia, 76 workshops and 202 abstracts; a remarkable increase at all levels from the last edition in 2011.
The Conference was the second organized by the International Olympic Committee (IOC), and was attended by HSH Prince Albert II of Monaco, President of the NOC of Monaco and IOC member along with fellow member Dr Robin Mitchell, IOC Medical Director Richard Budgett, IOC Head of Scientific Activities Lars Engebretsen and a large number of world-renown experts in the fields of sports medicine and injury and illness prevention.
Experts, team physicians from National Olympic Committees (NOCs) and International Federations (IFs), and students exchanged news of the latest research and advances in the prevention of injury and illness in athletes. Several symposia and workshops on application of the field's current knowledge highlighted that the message and penetration are improving.
We went into the Conference with high expectations and these were exceeded on every front", said IOC Medical Director Dr Richard Budgett. "From the opening session with HSH Prince Albert II, all participants threw themselves into the workshops, keynotes, symposia and poster sessions delivered by inspirational researchers and practitioners."
He added: "The Conference will change the practice of prevention, boost further research and protect the health of athletes everywhere. The success is a tribute to all those who worked so hard to bring this unique three-yearly Conference to fruition; to our wonderful hosts in Monaco and most of all, to the nearly 1000 delegates who brought it to life and will ensure that their new understanding and knowledge translates into action, in particular in preventing injuries and illnesses in athletes all over the world until we meet again in three years' time."
Dr . Davis agrees that the protection of the athletes' health is a top priority for the Bahamas Olympic Committee and we will invite our national federations to join the BOC and The Bahamas Anti-Doping Commission in our efforts to educate and assist our athletes and their personnel with adopting healthy, clean practices with a view of protecting the athletes health and preventing unwarranted injuries. , The Bahamas Olympic Committee is working together with different stakeholders to make this objective a reality.

Category About Memphis Music Featured on Jeopardy
(Memphis) Memphis is in the spotlight today on the popular game show Jeopardy.
The Memphis Music Hall of Fame was a category on the game show that airs right here on News Channel 3.
The five questions were relating to some of the 2012 inaugural inductees into The Memphis Music Hall of Fame which was launched in 2012.
Inductees include Al Green, Isaac Hayes, B.B. King and Elvis Presley.
