1967 Chevy Camaro Convertible - Light Speed
Brett Campbell's homebuilt '67 Camaro convertible redefines the multipurpose Pro Touring breed
From 100 yards, Brett Campbell's Camaro convertible could be mistaken for just another high-dollar boulevardier out for its biannual weekend jaunt. That image quickly morphs into something more sinister as Brett pushes this handsome sled well into triple digits, knifing through a series of high-speed sweepers. Relaxing Sunday drives typically don't go this way, at least not without a phalanx of police and news choppers overhead.
On pavement once used by F-4U Corsairs and F-4 Phantoms, Brett has come to El Toro Marine Base in Southern California to compete in the El Toro RTTC (Run To The Coast), a three-day slugfest of new and classic American Iron. And while Brett's Camaro is certainly a gorgeous example of the vintage, its behavior is decidedly 2012. Virtually the entire, sizable field was left in Brett's formidable wake.
"I had been keeping tabs on the Pro Touring and g-Machine movement of the early 2000s," Brett says. "While I loved the performance of the newer cars, I loved the styling of the older stuff. I needed to put them together. To me, it was the perfect marriage." The only problem was Brett had neither a car nor an engine. He had an idea though and for some, that's enough.
Well, most of an idea anyway. There was the engine issue, or more accurately which engine would be best. And, of course, a car would help too. "My Corvette-collecting next-door neighbor came home with a '01 LS6 Z06 Corvette motor purchased off eBay," Brett says. "He wasn't sure what he was going to do with it as I helped him pull the pallet off the truck. He didn't have room in his garage, so he asked if I could store it for him. Sucker! Six months later, that motor was mine. Funny thing is, I didn't even have a car to put that in yet. I was on the hunt for a Camaro convertible."
As fate would have it, an older gentleman in Camarillo had just the thing: a clean, one-owner, six-cylinder car. Now the real fun would start. "As I started the collection of parts and information, I realized this was going to take some custom work. There weren't a lot of options at that time to just bolt this thing together," Brett says. "I took the car to a custom race car shop for help with some of the metal fabrication. With delays and disappointment, I felt like small potatoes at this well-known shop. Eventually, the car came home with just a few of the modifications completed, and to make things worse, they needed to be redone."
The frustration served as a catalyst of sorts and Brett began doing the work himself. Friends liked what they saw and were soon asking Brett to do the same to their rides. Pretty soon, Brett started a little venture called Fab53. If you want a car like the one on these pages, give them a call.
Unlike a purpose-built drag racer or Bonneville car, a Fab53 vehicle has got to be proficient in several schools of competition. Plus, it has to look awesome while doing it. That's a lot to ask of any automobile. The Fab53 formula requires equal parts addition and subtraction to make it work. "My current Pro Touring belief is not the typical horsepower-to-weight ratio rule," Brett explains. "These cars, including mine, also need to turn fast and stop quickly. My formula is less overall curb weight for a better power-to-weight ratio."
Nearly 60 years ago, a man named Colin Chapman of Lotus Cars said the same thing: If you want to go fast, add lightness. Following a complete teardown, Brett acid dipped the entire body and began developing the Camaro's underpinnings. The front frame clip started out as a Martz Chassis unit and was heavily modified to accept Corvette-style brakes and wheels. The front suspension hard points were moved forward 1.5 inches to help with the front-to-rear weight bias (corner weighting revealed a near perfect 50/50 front-to-rear split). The modified front clip was then mated to custom frame connectors, hoop supports, and interior frame bars. A Chris Alston four-link coilover rear suspension with modified frame link locations handles things aft. A Panhard bar locates the rearend from side to side. In addition to custom front control arms and spindles, the motor mounts were designed to lower the engine in the frame for an improved center of gravity; some minor modifications were made to keep the factory LS6 Corvette oil pan.
The Camaro features a full inner frame for additional rigidity. Running the length of the chassis, the custom wrought structure essentially links the rear four-link subassembly to the reinforced front firewall. Additional front and rear stress bar assemblies ensure no unwanted flex.
Widened lower and upper control arms were designed to accept a deep set of Z06 Corvette wheels with custom spindles to accept Corvette C4 hubs. They were also modified to have a 5-degree caster adjustment without shims, while the lower control arms were modified to get a better coilover motion ratio. Front binders are Baer Eradi-Speed rotors with C5 Corvette calipers. The rear units are also Baer Eradi-Speed rotors with Camaro F-body PBR calibers. Running gear is comprised of Corvette Z06 wheels, 17x9.5 (front) and 18x10.5 (rear) shod with Toyo R888s measuring 275/40R17 and 295/30R18.
Brett's current front suspension setup is comprised of 550-pound front springs and Strange Engineering adjustable coilovers; the rear features 250-pound springs with Strange coilovers. A pair of beefy Stock Car Products antisway bars keep corners extra flat.
With the Camaro weighing in around 3,000 pounds, Brett chose a proven powerplant to motivate the Camaro. Underhood rests a largely factory LS6 engine, which is rated at a healthy 425 hp. For the 20 extra horsepower over stock, the engine was augmented with Brett's own aluminum cold air intake, an 80mm BBK throttle body, shorty headers, and Street and Performance's ECU upgrade. The LS6 mill now exhales through Brett's custom aluminized exhaust.
"As it is now, the Camaro's power level is a fine match for the chassis," Brett says. "I've been toying with adding a supercharger or maybe a 427 LS7 engine, but I don't know the car behaves so well. I suppose I could lighten it even further. Still, more power would be nice." It's a forgone conclusion this car will continue to evolve. Guys like Brett rarely sit still.
The driveline is based on a Camaro Tremec T56 with modified Fifth (.64) and Sixth (.50) gearing. A factory LS6 flywheel, clutch, and pressure plate transmit energy to an ultralightweight Mark Williams carbon-fiber driveshaft. Out back, a Ford 9-inch has been modified with a Strange aluminum center assembled by Currie. Its guts are Detroit Truetrac with a 4:11 ratio.
Both lengthened and widened, the factory bodywork no longer fit the Camaro frame. Brett stretched the front fenders and fabricated fiberglass inner liners while mini-tubbing the rear wells. The top mechanism was dumped to save weight and covered with a tonneau of Brett's own design. The front spoiler was also spawned in Brett's own garage.
Although its original white paint was in decent shape, Brett opted to respray it with PPG Mercedes-Benz Silver paint. "I made my own spray booth," Brett says. "I figured painting couldn't be that hard. I figured wrong. Needless to say, this is the last car I'm going to paint myself!"
The cabin has two versions: race and street. When Brett goes to pick up either of his two kids, the car is outfitted with Toyota Tercel seats covered in heavy-duty gray and cream vinyl. The rear chairs are from a '70s-era Chrysler, chopped in half and recovered. On race days, a Kirkey seat provides extra lateral support with a full Simpson harness. The dash features a Donovan insert filled with Auto Meter Phantom gauges.
"I drive this car at least twice a week, usually to pick up the kids from school," Brett says. "No, it doesn't have A/C, or a heater, or even side windows, but they don't seem to mind. Plus, the principal is a big fan of our smoky burnouts."
We met up with Brett in his home garage in Long Beach, California. Scattered amongst con-rods and hose clamps were gorgeous bits of sculpted steel and iron. Should he tire of cars (which ain't gonna happen) the guy could make a good living as an artist. As it is though, this Camaro is one fine piece of high-performance art!

Mitch Albom presents: 'Detroit Legacies in Black and White'
Jim Leyland honored during event hosted by Mitch Albom Monday
DETROIT – Recently retired Tigers manager Jim Leyland will be honored on stage as a special guest of "Detroit Legacies In Black and White", hosted by International best-selling author Mitch Albom and civil rights icon Judge Damon J. Keith, at the Fox Theatre, 7:30 p.m. Monday, November 11.
Leyland, who guided the Tigers to two World Series, will join in an on-stage conversation about his career, and be presented with a special video tribute highlighting his enormous success in baseball. Fans hoping to show their appreciation to Leyland will be welcomed at the event, which raises money for Detroit charities through SAY Detroit and The Damon J. Keith Center for Civil Rights.
The event will celebrate how people of all backgrounds and races work together, and will benefit the lives of Detroit's most needy. The current star-studded roster includes Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford, comedian Tim Meadows ("Saturday Night Live") Motown legends The Four Tops,Hall of Famer Barry Sanders, Red Wings goalie Jimmy Howard,Tigers great Willie Horton, R&B Recording Artist KEM, former Michigan coach Lloyd Carr, and many others. Albom and Keith will also discuss their storied careers and their upcoming new books.
All those who attend will receive a signed commemorative copy of Albom's highly-anticipated novel, The First Phone Call From Heaven, which is set in Michigan and hits stores November 12. Keith will preview his long-awaited biography, Crusader For Justice, also due out in November, and will regale the crowd with more than seven decades of stories that involve everyone from A-list entertainers to U.S. presidents to revered leaders of the Civil Rights Movement.
Mitch Albom is a best-selling author, nationally-syndicated columnist, radio host, network television commentator, playwright, and screenwriter. His 11 books, several of which have debuted at #1 on the New York Times bestsellers list, have collectively sold 35 million copies in 42 languages worldwide and several have been made into Emmy Award-winning and critically-acclaimed movies. Albom has won more than 100 writing awards, including the Red Smith Award for lifetime achievement presented by the Associated Press Sports Editors in 2010. In 2013, he was inducted into the National Sportscasters and Sportswriters Hall of Fame. Albom has founded seven charities in and around Detroit, including the first ever 24-hour medical clinic for homeless children in America.
Hon. Damon J. Keith was born in Detroit and has served as a judge on the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit since 1977. Prior to his appointment there, Judge Keith served as Chief Judge of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan. He is a graduate of West Virginia State College (B.A. 1943), Howard University Law School (J.D. 1949), and Wayne State University Law School (LL.M. 1956).
As a member of the federal judiciary, Judge Keith has consistently stood as a courageous defender of the constitutional and civil rights of all people, and his decisions have helped shape the law as we know it today. His biography, Crusader for Justice, will be published this November with a special foreword by Albom.
S.A.Y. DETROIT is a multi-pronged charity founded by Albom and designed to improve the lives of Detroit's neediest citizens. Since 2006, it has raised and distributed more than $2 million for the homeless, the working poor, veterans, and gifted but financially- challenged students. In 2008, it opened the nation's first medical clinic for homeless children.
THE DAMON J. KEITH CENTER FOR CIVIL RIGHTS opened in October 2011. Located at the Wayne State University Law School in Detroit, the Keith Center honors the life and legacy of Judge Keith by carrying out his vision for civil rights. The Keith Center advances learning, attracts talented faculty, students and lecturers, enhances programming, and promotes civil rights in one of the most culturally rich and diverse cities in the United States. The Keith Center has active programs on legal studies and promotes community involvement.

How to Crochet a Rug out of T-Shirtscomments (56) May 31st, 2013
It gives me a thrill to make something new, that's useful and beautiful, out of something old and unwanted. Oversized, corporate logo-ed T-shirts are a plentiful resource at your local thrift store or maybe even in your own closet. One of my favorite uses for them is to cut them into strips and crochet them into rugs, like your grandmother's old braided rag rugs but much easier to make!
You will need:
- T-shirts (anywhere from two on up, depending on size rug desired), the bigger the better
- Scissors
- Giant crochet hook (I used 15 mm)
1. Cut the shirts into strips, approximately 1 inch wide. Starting at the bottom, cut in a spiral all the way up the body of the tee, and roll the strip into a ball. Stretch it out as you wind so that the jersey curls up into a cord.
After you make this project, show off your work to other members!
Post your project in the gallery

I use the Mill Ends to make crocheted rugs. The more you put them in the washer and dryer the better and softer they are.
My motto" Don't work harder, work smarter
Happy Crafting!

I've been collecting my hubbies T-shirts for a number of years but as we are both car enthustics they end up being cut up for oil and cleaning rags.
Still I do have a couple of crocheted T-shirt rugs from before I was married so they must be at least 20plus years old now. So simply to through into the washing machine then lay flat to dry.
Don't get to hung up on the thickness just take into condiseration who thick you would like the rug to be, what size crochet hook you have at hand. Regard your T-Shirt thickeness like you would your normal crochet yarn thickenss/grade.

Just start your first round with as many stitches as you want sides.
On the second round, put two single crochet stitches in each stitch.
On the third round, start by doing two stitches in the same stitch; then one stitch in the next stitch. Follow this pattern all the way around.
On the fourth round, do two stitches in the first stitch of the first group of two stitches on the previous round.
Then do one stitch in each stitch of the previous round until you get to the next group of two stitches. Do two stitches in the first stitch of the group and repeat all the way around.
You have to make sure to line up your groups of two stitches on every round. Always put a group of two stitches in the first stitch of each group of two stitches on the previous round. The groups of two stitches are what will make the "corners" of your rug shape.
With the hexagon, it may start to curl. To counteract this, on each round use three stitches instead of two at two of the corners. Make sure you rotate which corners you put the groups of three stitches, otherwise you'll end up with
two long sides and four short sides for your hexagon.

This is my first ever crochet project! I've gotten started but I'm frustrated because the rug has turned into a big cone! How do I keep it flat?

Why is such a large hook needed? And, will I get just as good results with a 9mm or a K hook? Also, would you please give me directions on how to make a square rug?
Thank you
Posted: 1:38 pm on February 4th
Posted: 11:35 am on October 27th
But how do you determine the shape of the rug? The round ones are fairly self-explanatory but some of the other unique shapes like the octagon, oval, etc. I have no idea how to make those shapes, please help!
Thanks in advance for any information on this great project and any other "rug" ideas are welcome too. I am in an apartment and they carpet is probably older than I am. They refuse to replace it and I am not going to invest that kind of money in a rental but I definitely need some ideas for inexpensive area rugs.

SO, I like your method of joining sans thread... and will try it next project. And I bet the knitted cotton doesn't "shed" as much. Besides, it's another look.
I've found that the 1 inch material gives a neat larger size, but a 1/2 inch makes another weight of product just as nice. Must have strong hands for this, so I don't do it often or for long. Wouldn't want to aggravate tendon problems or RSI (repetitive strain injuries).

chain 2
round 1: 5 single crochets into the 2nd chain from hook, (do not join)
round 2: into the first single crochet of round 1, do 2 sc, and continue around putting 2 sc in every stitch
round 3: 2sc in first stitch, 1sc in next, repeat around
round 4: 2sc in first stitch, 1sc in next 2 sts, repeat around
round 5: 2sc in first stitch, 1sc in next 3 sts, repeat around
and repeat accordingly until the rug is as big as you want. in general, for every round you will put one additional sc between the increases.
to finish, after my last sc, i do 3-4 slip stitches to blend in to the edge. then finish off.
good luck and happy hooking ;n)

3.1 Announcements: an Object Dependency Framework
Announcements is a new framework for event notification developed originally by Vassili Bykov and which has been ported to several Smalltalk implementations. Announcements provides a simple and generic implementation of the Observer pattern.
Historically, Smalltalk implementations had a change/update mechanism, which forms the base of the MVC framework. One weakness of this mechanism is the use of symbols as events: registering to and triggering a notification are performed using sole symbols. Unfortunately, symbols are raw objects and can not contain other information. Take for example a
#changed event, which indicates a generic change in a model. Subscribers to this event receive no information about what has changed in the model. They must request such information from the model itself. Worse, it can be difficult to track down the source of an event when subscribed to the same event from multiple models.
Instead, Announcements promotes a fully object-oriented solution where events are plain objects. Such events-as-objects can be fully customized with contextual data specific to the application. A
ChangeEvent object can contain information such as the originating model, the nature of the change, or the trigger of the change...
If the notions of Observer pattern, Object Dependency Framework, or event notifications feels unusual, the next section provides a quick introduction to the problem addressed and principles behind the solution. Otherwise, you can safely skip this section and proceed to others.

Ordered some new rims and tyres for my Ford Courier last week. John went above and beyond to get a great price and also the right style, size and fitment for my fussy requirements. The wheels turned up fitted and balanced and looked a million bucks. I couldn't of asked for a smoother transaction and a better guy to deal with. Thanks a million.
Had been looking at wheels for ages wanting to get great look/fitment. Called up Autocraze and spoke to Mo, he was awesome. Knew his products and put my mind at ease about the fitment. So I got my wheels and tyres (for a great price!) and I'm super happy!
AutoCraze were absolute legends to deal with when I was buying my Speedy Outlaws. Delivery to Queensland was unbelievably quick! Had the wheels fitted within a week of first making contact. Highly recommend!
The fellas at Autocraze helped heaps with the new wheels! Ordered them online and they arrived at my door 2 days later!! Awesome work fellas, cheers for all the help! Will definitely shop here again
Found the boys at Autocraze, top of the class, needed some rims for my Mustang and Mo had it all sorted. Their after sales support was fantastic too, highly recommend the guys, they are true car enthusiasts and take their time with your rims and their machinery is world class!
Awesome service, great people to deal with. Very professional and delivery was quicker than expected.. Also the car looks great, couldn't be happier. Thanks guys.
Ordered some rims and tires from these guys. Shipped Friday arrived Monday, great to deal with over the phone and the product you order is everybit as good in person. Already recommended to several friends.

But, our Board of Education doesn't do that. They regularly take votes based on rumor and gossip. They don't have the actual contracts they are voting on in front of them. They haven't read that actual contracts they vote to approve and sign.
As with the "telephone game", as the gossip passes around, the story changes. And, so we have it with Superintendent Starr's $14.5 million technology expenditure rumor. Every time the story is told, the facts change.
Here's where we started. This was Superintendent Starr's first statement when he released his September 11, 2012 memorandum to the Board of Education requesting their vote to approve this $14.5 million expenditure.
September 11, 2012: Resolved, That the Board of Education approves the purchase of Promethean interactive classroom technology systems at a total cost of $8,949,719;
September 11, 2012: Resolved, That the Board of Education approves the purchase of Promethean interactive classroom technology systems (pursuant to the state of Maryland contract 050B7800023) at a total cost of $8,949,719;
October 23, 2012: MCPS will purchase the Promethean Boards by piggybacking on two statewide contracts that have been put out to bid and conforms with state procurement law. The contracts are with two statewide organizations—The State of Maryland and the Maryland Education Enterprise Consortium.Two contracts? That's not what the Board of Education voted to approve on September 11, 2012. The BOE voted on ONE contract: State of Maryland contract 050B7800023. (And, anyone with computer access can pull up that document and find out that it was a 5 year contract issued in 2007 that has expired.)
Can Superintendent Joshua Starr just ignore the Board of Education vote and substitute TWO contracts for the ONE that they voted on?
Superintendent Starr, if you want the public to "understand" your technology purchase, then be honest with us. Make the actual contract that will be used to purchase 2,000 Promethean brand boards public. It's a real document that will require your signature and the signature of the BOE President.

Knight Gareth witnesses something Horrible
King Erik was happy with the outcome. The war had added to his prestige. On his return he entrusted his knight at arms to his cronies all valiant men who had fought by his side for long. He paid his courtesy call to his aunt Lady Gisella of Griswold. Then he had his horses and four wolfhounds to look after. Having done these he could walk towards his apartment.
As soon as he entered the palace he hung his battle axe on its rack along with his breastplate and chain mail. Sooner had he settled his weapons and irons he entered into his private chambers. He drank himself to oblivion. He had earned his drink by Saint Maloy!.
On waking up the king called his court jester Berthold and asked him to fill in his day-book as before with the days events.
Berthold had a fine hand with which entered somewhat as follows.
Tuesday: Reception of the Council of Minisiters. Knight Gareth introduced to the pards. Dinner: Knight Gareth is seated next to Lady Gisella. The knight strong with his sword as reports go; definitely shy with women. Lady Gisella spoke with her eyes and her ladies in waiting all in titter.
Wednesday: nothing.
Thursday a bear hunt. So it was to the forest Malfardeen. Black bears aplenty.
Saturday: Thirty pelts assured. Meat to the wolfhounds. Beaters get farthings and free drinks. Bonfire by the plains. King and party sets out for wenching. Knight Gareth sits apart stone sober. He doesn't drink like a knight. He doesn't wench unlike the king. He says he misses his hearth.
Sunday: Lady Gisella drops in on the king's party. King orders Knight Gareth to escort her back. May be Lady Gisella and Maid Sylvia will need to watch out the knight doesn't cry on their shoulders.
The scribe wasn't far from wrong. Knight Gareth was the miserable but he dreaded displeasing the king. He kept company to the ladies and he spoke only when spoken to. He was a reluctant gallant who knew his place. Often as he trotted his horse by them he thought how he could drop them all and make a visit to his Greta.
He had no idea how his absence was viewd in his home town.
The battle of the Marshes was celebrated throughout Gothburg with enthusiasm. Only that news from the court began circulating among the elite; and soon the habitues of the taverns and coffee houses began narrating the valor of a knight. Gareth was a name much bandied about. No one could place hearing of such a wight.
The town of Fidelis by the river Ghoul could take pride in one broad road and it was paved with shale. Every Friday market brought the burghers who made something useful or needed, together. Knight Gareth was a name that the folks could not place let alone remember of having seen. As squire Cut n'Thrust they had hobnobbed and made merry at the end of the day for a pint or two. Had they known him as the husband of Greta they could have chattered about their love that stemmed from ther cradle; they knew the ups and downs of their family fortunes; and they knew their tastes in fashion. Their hearts could weave poetry of uneventful life on the refrain of fidelty alone and if some minstrels needed material they would have pointed them to the couple. The squire was a nobody who made their rude tongues wax eloquent; as the name Gareth awed them to silence.
Greta went on with her life and she was not happy since her lover was absent. Her babe made her life full but something had gone out of her life. Where was he?
One morning Greta got up hurriedly to meet the bailiff from Roget le Duc the lord of the domain and he was rather abrupt to call on her door early. "If you paid the dues in time I would have been resting in my bed" He abused the manner in which he was harried by folks for no mistake of his. Greta wrung her hands and sighed. It was three months since her husband had disappeared. She knew he was alive and would not leave her unless he had a good reason. It was her sorrow and it was not going let her off the hook. So she let sat with him to count how much of her livestock would please the Duke's collector. They haggled over flock of geese and a cow as surety. She promised to pay as early as possible. After sending him away grumbling she called her neighbor Agathe and asked,'Will you be going to the market? She had things to do around her house. Knowing the drift she agreed to look after Rudy and told her about the latest gossip. Knight Gareth and his exploits were of least interest to her.
She had a cart load of baskets woven by her to sell. These were beautifully crafted and she also took pride in them. If she could sell them all she could have redeemed her pledge. She was wistful. She didn't blame her man. Edgar was his name who looked after his family. She still looked winsome her plainness made delicious by her warm heart. After finishing her chores she carried her baby to the neighbor with instructions. Agathe listened to her indulgently.' I brought in my time eight angels' she thought to herself.
Meanwhile Knight Gareth was in a manner of speaking held in prisoner by his king. King Erik was besotted with pride of his new champion. He had begun to think grand and he knew Gareth would make his ambition to fruition. The week after he had rested in one of the houses where his knights were housed he asked permission to go and see his wife. "I am sick with love,"he said bluntly and the king assured he would get to see his family sooner than he thought. The king told him that he was indebted to him because he shed blood for his honor."It has cleaned you from your low ignoble birth." He was certain it was premature: his idea was that he ought to go home only to give his family a new name. A new pomp and circumstance for the House of Gosling he had almost won by his might.
The king had set a whole regimen to make his knight earn his place at the court. Towards this he had to excel in fencing, courtly dance and diplomacy. "You have to think like a prince if you were to serve me." Edgar or Knight Gareth could not find fault with his reasoning. King Erik also confided how he was harried by people who lived across the river. Palatinate of Ghoul was one itching for war. 'I am a man of peace till odds of victory is in my favor.' Surprisings there was a diplomat from the Palatinate. In annoyance he threw his hands and said, "Enough headaches and must you add to mine?" That shut up the knight.
A fortnight later the king received a few diplomats from the Elector of Palatine. The knight was by the side of the king. Of the many gifts brought the diplomat picked a recorder from a wickerwork . Knight Gareth was struck by it. It was a present for Lady Gisella. The visitors conveyed compliments from Queen Mother and presents for Lady Gisella.
The king sent the knight to fetch his aunt. Knight Gareth promptly went to her apartments and informed his master's wishes. Maid Sylvia went in and out came the Lady Gisella to receive the message in person. She gave him a smile and he for once was tongue-tied. As always she was radiant and self possessed and her playful eyes were her ornaments. He curtseyed and he could not escape her eyes as she peered into his face. Her breath was fresh and her hands rested casually on his. 'I am real and wait what else you have to say.' He again repeated what he was there for. "I didn't mean that. Haven't you something to tell me -for yourself?" He fumbled that sent her into peals of titter. Maid Sylvia also was enjoying his discomfiture. They had fun at his awkward silence. Oh I adore silences!' Lady Gisella gurgled throatily and it was comical. The knight knew she was too smart and elegant so he kept his mouth shut.
She made him wait till she went into her boudoir and dressed herself for the occasion. All in white with her collar trimmed with ermine and train trailing behind her she was beyond compare. Hardly he dared to breathe or look at her. She put her gloved hand out and he could not escape. Her touch was as strange as he took a cold corpse for a walk. One moment she was all warm flesh and looks; in her mere presence her feminine wiles like an aura enveloped her. Now there was something awful a mystery that hit him hard. Bravely he escorted her and left her before the diplomats who were true to their form. They made deep courtesy and paid compliments. The elder presented a message from the Queen Mother which she glanced. He face showed no expression. A page meanwhile took a present and handed it to Sir Roeolf the younger of the two. Knight Gareth saw him tremble and he unfolded the silk sash and Lady Gisella as courtly as ever took it and adjusted folds so the silver patterns fell all on the right side. The knight was certain the entire frame of Lady Gisella was strange and her touch was as cold and distant.
Obviously the Queen Mother and her present disgusted her. It was the strangest sensation he could not get over. She jerked her chin haughtily as though the gift was her due.
There was an audible hiss. Like the sash unfolding. No it was burning to cinder! The flames hissed and spiraled about her. Lady Gisella went up in flames and not a speck of ash remained. A cold wind seemed to ride along the frame and nothing remained.
King Eric the Broadsword was aghast. So were his court. The embassy from the Prince-Elector of Ghoulish Palatinate was equally astounded. They wanted to express their horror and sorrow. "It was a mistake, an egregious blunder of nature, sire" Baron Thybault The senior diplomat said. The King waved him and his party. " We shall let you know our answer." He said and strode off. knight Gareth also made an about turn. He remembered he was entrusted with the presents. The box with recorder.
He carried them and he gasped, " This wickerwork is familiar." He sidled to the side of Berthold and whispered. The court Jester bounded down the wide stone steps to inquire.
Knight Gareth left the presents with the palace Chamberlain who was somewhat nervous. He had already about the terrible event. The news of Lady Gisella going up in smoke was as extraordinary as was provocative. The Queen Mother had insulted the court of Gothburg. Knight Gareth for once felt afraid. Having done his duty he quietly retraced his steps. He saw at the end of the corridor Maid Sylvia who peeked her head out and quickly motioned him to come.
He was puzzled. She almost pushed him into the chamber and shrilled," Quickly,come sir!" She led him into a ladies boudoir rich with tapestries and polished silver mirror between candelabra. There were deep drawn out sighs and he looked around. Lady Gisella was alive. She groaned and panted. Even in her wretchedness she was stately. From the anteroom he saw her lying in a bed under a purple canopy stamped with golden bees.
Lady Gisella raised herself up. She looked pale and her eyes were strange. Eyes were kind of mysterious. And inhuman. She called him to approach and he did feeling tremor run through his body. She caught hold of his hand and drew to her bosom and said," Tell me sire, you will ever protect me".
Her heart beat furious and yet he felt nothing. What he experience had seared his thinking and he felt numb.
He fell silent. "See to what extent my enemies plan my destruction?"
He knew she spoke truth after her fashion. He dreaded her.
He knew he had come across the first witch that he had only heard in whispers. Now he was within her striking distance.
Late that night Master Berthold brought news that the diplomats had made a stopover by the town by River Ghoul. Knight Gareth felt his heart beat faster. He asked which and the Jester was clear. Fidelis. Blood rushed into his head he knew the wickerwork was the handiwork of his beloved. Her artistry was unmistakeable. He knew in the manner she wound the cane around the corners to create little ornamental flourishes; the way she could glide her knife to round the split canes she had left her signature. The type of cane she used itself told its story. He felt homesick. But the king had expressly sent word to him to await his further orders. He knew the king was preparing for a war with the Palatinate. The Queen Mother had played her card. It was the king's move now.
Berthold had found ways to befriend the page in the service of Baron Thybault and he also let known a few tidbits. Probing further Knight Gareth found the Queen Mother like Lady Gisella dabbled in witchcraft. She must also know a witch of unsurpassed skills in the town of Fidelis. The Queen would not have sent her diplomats to his home town for nothing! It also made sense. Who was a witch of such power? He was stunned. The diplomats would have contacted their person in the town and found use for canework. It made his wife vulnerable. Probably the witch was very close to Greta and used her wicker basket. But he knew Lady Gisella's attention would also be drawn similar to his line of reasoning. He was troubled at the thought.

Traditional Birth Services
I'm Brenda Parrish, a direct entry midwife, certified lactation counselor and certified childbirth educator. I have served the south Georgia area for many years with South Georgia Birth Services, LLC. My involvement in attending births goes back 18 years, the last 15 of them spent as the primary midwife. I'm grateful for the many families that honored me by allowing me to be involved in their prenatal care and births in south Georgia and am very sad to leave them behind, but a change in my husband's job have led me to move my practice to the metro Atlanta area.
During the transition, I am committed to attending births in the south Georgia area until February, 2011. I hope to take new clients in the Atlanta area with due date of March, 2011 and after. Prenatals will be conducted on just a couple of days a month until my transition is complete. Thanks in advance for your patience during this time of transition for me and my family!
As a lactation counselor, I hope to get a great and informative breastfeeding support group going in my area and will be available for private consults too. For those needing childbirth classes, I developed the "BirthWise" class for expectant parents to help prepare you to become a truly informed consumer and to be offer coping measures for those aiming for a natural birth. We cover lots of information about breastfeeding and early parenting too.
I am in the process of trying to become a CPM (certified professional midwife). The paperwork process is in the works and I hope to take the written exam as soon as all the paperwork is complete. The exam is only given three times a year! Stay tuned for progress on this front!
I look forward to meeting all these new families in Atlanta and becoming a part of your childbearing season. If you choose midwifery care, you can expect at least an hour appointment each month so that you have plenty of time to ask all your questions and for us to get to know each other. My clients become lifelong friends and each of these babies are so special to me!

The Student Employment Office (SEO), a division of RIT's Co-op and Career Services, is responsible for administrating all aspects of on-campus employment, and for developing and implementing the Institute's policies and procedures for student employment. In addition, the SEO provides a brokerage service for students seeking off-campus part-time employment and full-time summer employment.
In keeping with RIT's tradition of experiential education, student employment is seen as another aspect of the student's educational experience. The skills and attitudes developed through working, whether an extension of knowledge gained in the classroom or those related to more menial endeavors, are vital components of the student's maturation. Consequently, the SEO believes that the student's on-campus and off-campus employment should accurately reflect the realities inherent in permanent employment.
We stress, therefore, the necessity of adherence to standards of punctuality, responsibility, neat appearance and diligence. Furthermore, we recognize that the attainment of these objectives is ensured through cooperative effort between supervisors of student employees and the SEO.

Elimination Communication:
The Natural Alternative to Diapers
The first thing you should know:
Half the babies around the world are potty trained by 12 months (Pediatrics Magazine), yet in the United States, the average age is currently 3 years old (webMD).
The second thing you should know:
Finishing with diapers does not have to take 3 years. Elimination Communication, aka Infant Potty Training or Diaper Free Babies, is the natural alternative to diaper dependence and the dreaded toddler toilet training. You can stop changing diapers today, at any age.
And…the third thing you should know:
Elimination Communication should not be difficult to begin. Learning your baby's elimination needs should be clear, fun, and smooth. Within a few weeks you will be in the swing of things. You can expect a certain amount of day or night dryness by 6-20 months (depending on when and how you begin).
You can do EC as little or often as you like. It fits every lifestyle. And it doesn't have to be hard (if you know precisely where and how to begin Elimination Communication).
So, when can you start potty training your baby and begin EC?
0-18 months! The ideal starting window is 0-4 months, but you can start practicing EC (aka Infant Potty Training, Diaper-free Babies, Natural Infant Hygiene, or Early Potty Training) all the way up to 18 months. Each age requires a slightly different approach.
If your baby is over 18 months, please do not waste your time with EC (it will take forever and it isn't age-appropriate). Toddlers developmentally need mastery. Click here for a potty training resource for toddlers over 18 months.
If you're ready to begin EC…when should you start?
The short answer? Now. Starting is not as difficult as you might imagine. Waiting for a break in new parent craziness is like waiting for a bus in Antarctica. It may never come.
Your baby was born ready.
All you have to do is learn how to get started.

What was once a throwaway line in a 3.5-hour long movie has, thanks to the slow burn of Sean Bean's amazingness, become one of the most memorable quips in all three Lord of the Rings flicks.
Mostly because he has a point! One does not simply walk into Mordor. Or... can they?
Kerry Shawcross and Chris Demarais from Rooster Teeth (of Halo's Red v Blue fame) decided to put Boromir's theory to the test, scouting out the real-world locations for both Hobbiton and Mt. Doom and walking the distance.
At "only" 120 miles, it's a lot easier than Frodo and Sam's journey, though... I hate to be the 1984th person to point out that their journey doesn't really begin until they hit Rivendell, and as the map at the beginning of the video shows, that's a hell of a lot further than 120 miles.
Still... quibble aside, this is a pretty slick video, and some brisk walking since they only had six days to do it.

Feds back restoring rapids to Grand River
The expansion of a program for restoring and improving urban waterways nationwide is expected to boost efforts to restore rapids to the Grand River in Grand Rapids.
The Environmental Protection Agency, the White House and other federal departments announced Friday that they're adding the West Michigan city's waterway to the Urban Waters Federal Partnership.
The previously planned rapids restoration involving Grand Rapids Whitewater and others is expected to cost $27.5 million and calls for construction of new rapids and removal or lowering of dams.
In making Friday's announcement, federal officials say a key step will be recreating the city's namesake rapids. Pending regulatory approvals and funding efforts that are expected to take place this year, the initial phase of the effort could be completed by 2016.

Well the last week or two I have been "posting apace" with posts to here, The Gnome's Garden; The Garden Wall; Rose Coloured Bifocals; Parables of Latitude; Collide as One; What is Heritage; We'll Make Cents; The Gnome Tapestry; and The Heretical Herald.
I know that seems like a lot, but I am basically posting once or twice a day. Some of those blogs mentioned are published two or three times a week, while others are once a week and even others are in a rotation so they get published every third week. Actually there are a few others I haven't gotten to as they are on that. Actually a few are collaborations, and one is a charity I volunteer for — We'll Make Cents.
I may combine a few of the sites with one or two of the others to keep things reasonable, but for the moment I am having fun.

Catamounts support their colors
UVM women's hockey team hosts viewing party for USA vs. Canada gold medal game
Of the 20 members that make up the UVM women's hockey team, 13 are American, six are Canadian. For the day, they ditched their Catamount green and gold to support their nations colors.

It was a roller coaster of emotions inside Gutterson Fieldhouse.
"I can't even believe what just happened," assistant captain Danielle Rancourt said.
A tight knit team was divided as the dramatic gold medal game unfolded before their eyes. The U.S. jumped out to a two goal lead after two periods. The Americans had the upper hand.
"I really thought they had it in the bag," Montpelier native Amanda Pelkey said.
But Canada accounted for the final three goals, including an overtime game winner.
"It was kind of awkward since all the Canadians left after the second period and I was the only one left, but it was kind of cool at the same time with the comeback," Ontario native Rancourt said.
It was particularly emotional for Montpelier native Amanda Pelkey and assistant coach Kelly Nash. Pelkey got a shot at her Olympic dreams when she trained with Team USA all summer, including an exclusive camp in Lake Placid.
"It's a really big pit in my stomach," Pelkey said. "Honestly I know how hard they worked and then some because I wasn't there for the last 8 months they were training. So I know there was so much mental and physical preparation for it, so 60 minutes and have it be done is kind of hard to watch."
Nash played college hockey at Wisconsin with five members of the national team.
"I know they wanted to win that game and everything, but they should still be proud to have that silver medal around their neck," assistant coach Nash said.
Some bets were lost in the locker room, and there may be some tough love for the time being.
"Am I going to talk to Dani? I'll give it a couple of days," Pelkey said.
"It's going to blow over by tonight and we have some games to win and that's what's important that we stick together no matter what, and even though there are Canadians and Americans, we're still Catamounts," Rancourt said.

Cunningham Hall
Built in 1973, the sports complex including the adjoining buildings of Cunningham Hall and Gross Coliseum, occupies 322,979 gross square feet. Not seen in this photo, taken from the Highway 183 Bypass, is the portion of the structure housing four gymnasiums and five racquetball courts. A Wellness Center, swimming pool, locker rooms and offices occupy the rest of the space in Cunningham Hall. Gross Coliseum is the copper-clad portion of the complex. Departments housed in the complex include Athletics, Health & Human Performance, Allied Health, and Gross/Cunningham Operations.
Cunningham Hall was named for Dr. Morton Christy Cunningham, known as the "Builder President," the fifth administrative head of the Fort Hays Kansas State College. He assumed his duties as President on August 15, 1949. Once the postwar conditions eased, Dr. Cunningham led the college through a major building and remodeling period. Construction during his tenure as President included: an Applied Arts Building named Davis Hall (which was razed in 2017); a new wing for Custer Hall; a south wing for McGrath Hall (which was razed in 2000); a residence for the President of the university, Agnew Hall (which was razed in 2010 - a second Agnew was built on the same site); the Memorial Union; Wooster Place apartments for married student housing; Wiest Hall (which was razed in 2017); Malloy Hall; Forsyth Library; a new dairy barn, silos, sheds for cattle and hogs, and machine shops. The library was air conditioned in 1957. The Industrial Building, later named Rarick Hall, was remodeled, as was the Social Building, which was renamed Martin Allen Hall. (Rarick was razed in 1978 and replaced by a new Rarick Hall in 1981.) A new wing was added to Science Hall, now Albertson Hall, in 1962. New service buildings were completed in 1960 to house garages, repair shops and other facilities. There was additional work on Lewis Field Stadium, and new tennis courts and softball fields were built. A road across Big Creek to join the campus to the housing area, new water mains, new electrical wiring, and a new telephone system so there could be telephones in offices were some of the many projects that improved the campus under President Cunningham's tenure at the helm of the university.

Buildings given a role in saving Sound
In a landmark ruling that could shape Western Washington development for decades to come, a state appeals board ordered use of "low-impact" building techniques to rein in what scientists call the biggest pollution threat to the health of Puget Sound.
The rainwater runoff that carries oil, pesticides and a host of pollutants off streets and other hard surfaces should be controlled by environmentally friendly construction methods, the quasi-judicial Pollution Control Hearings Board ruled.
Those methods are numerous but include installing "rain gardens" and vegetated roofs to soak up runoff before it starts; using porous pavements that allow rainwater to soak into the ground; and leaving most native plants and soil in place when a subdivision is constructed to better slurp up rainfall.
In established cities such as Seattle, the impact is likely to be felt mostly in redevelopment projects. In the fast-growing countryside, it's likely to mean larger-scale changes that might, for instance, eliminate curbs and gutters and create street-side green spaces instead.
Environmentalists, who asked the board to toughen state rules for controlling stormwater, hailed the ruling as a major step forward in safeguarding the ecologically ailing Sound.
"It establishes Western Washington as a national leader in protecting water quality and building responsibly," said Jan Hasselman, an Earthjustice attorney in Seattle who led the environmentalists' legal attack.
"It's a very important ruling," he said. "It's a national precedent. It's the first time a hearings board anywhere in the country has said that low-impact development techniques will be required."
Developers said they support the low-impact concept but argue that it shouldn't be mandated everywhere.
"To make low-impact development work, we have to remove the regulatory barriers to it, create incentives for builders to use it and educate the public about the features they could use," said Allison Butcher, public policy manager for Master Builders Association of King and Snohomish Counties.
The state Ecology Department, which fought against mandating low-impact techniques and must carry out the board's ruling, said many questions remain about how it will be put into effect.
"It depends on how you interpret the language the board gave us," said Bill Moore, head of the agency's stormwater unit. "This is pretty open-ended."
The board's ruling did leave builders some important wiggle room. It says they have to minimize disturbance of native soils and creation of hard surfaces that encourage runoff. But it doesn't say they have to eliminate those features.
It also said the techniques are required "where feasible."
"That can mean very different things depending on what someone wants it to mean," Moore said. "What's 'feasible'?"
The ruling, mailed out Thursday and received by the parties in the court case Friday, points out that a water cleanup plan ordered by the Legislature in 2000 said cities should start allowing use of low-impact techniques. Many still do not.
"The biological health of Puget Sound is declining, and a major cause of the decline is stormwater runoff," the board's ruling says.
"This decline carries with it a variety of environmental, economic and social costs."
Often citing the testimony of the state's own key witnesses, the board held that using low-impact building techniques represents a "cost-effective, practical ... substantial advancement" in controlling dirty runoff.
The board said that while not all of these techniques are applicable at every site, the same is true for more-traditional methods of controlling runoff, such as building big ponds where the water can be dumped.
In many cases, going greener can actually save builders money, the board ruled after 18 days of court proceedings that featured numerous witnesses, lengthy legal arguments and a small library of written evidence.
Used in conjunction with conventional techniques, low-impact methods make it possible to greatly reduce and in many cases eliminate runoff, said the board, which hears appeals related to state pollution rules. The Lacey-based Hearings Board consists of Kathleen Mix, a former state assistant attorney general; Bill Lynch, a former Legislature staff attorney; and Andrea McNamara Doyle, an attorney formerly with the Davis Wright Tremaine firm in Seattle. Doyle and Mix were appointed by Gov. Chris Gregoire. Lynch was appointed by former Gov. Gary Locke.
Builders were not directly involved in the court case. But the board's ruling acknowledges a major point they made: Even the increasing number of developers who want to use these methods often are prevented from doing so by – as the board's ruling put it – "the costs associated with navigating a system of (land-use) regulation and development that was not created with (low-impact development) in mind."
The head of the environmental group that spearheaded the court case said she was actually glad to see the board stopped short of requiring use of low-impact methods everywhere.
"The feedback we've been getting from developers and people involved in the business is it may not work every place, every time, everywhere, and there has to be some flexibility," said Sue Joerger, head of Puget Soundkeeper Alliance.
Builders say that hard soils across much of the region make it difficult to get water to filter into the ground. But a second environmental group involved in the case, People for Puget Sound, said that can be fixed by mixing compost into the soil or other methods.
"We recognize there could be sites where it is infeasible to use low-impact development," said Bruce Wishart, the group's policy director.
"We think they're rare."
He added: "It's our hope we're going to see a new way of doing business, a new way of development. It's the kind of green building that a lot of consumers are asking for."
Builders aren't legally able to challenge the ruling. They likely will pick their fights when individual cities rewrite their development codes to allow low-impact development. Moore, of the Ecology Department, said that will probably take until about next spring.
The ruling affects only the largest local governments in Western Washington: Seattle, Tacoma, and King, Snohomish, Pierce and Clark counties. Another case pending before the board could extend the logic to numerous smaller local governments.
One of the local governments that intervened in the case, urging the board not to require the low-impact techniques, was Seattle.
It was a bit of an unusual position for Seattle to take, because the city has pioneered the use of the techniques and has built five projects at city expense to popularize the concept and demonstrate how it works.
"The city of Seattle has been and remains deeply committed to low-impact development. We are arguably as invested in that as any other city in the nation," said Andy Ryan, a spokesman for Seattle Public Utilities. "Our main interest in intervening in this process was to make sure the board had all the information it needed."
Hasselman, the environmentalists' lawyer, said he's glad to hear local governments want to dive in.
"We're going to take (them) at their word that they care about this problem and are going to be using the most effective approaches to solve it," Hasselman said, "and we'll be watching to make sure they do that."

Thanksgiving 2012: Churches Ramp Up Existing Ministries to Show God's Love
Churches across the United States are ramping up their existing ministries for the homeless and needy this week by making sure to provide food and fellowship in order to reflect God's love.
In Hollywood, Calif., volunteers from one church plan to meet with a homeless ministry at a comedy club on Sunset Boulevard on Thanksgiving Day to share a meal together with people from the transient-filled area of Los Angeles known as the Skid Row. At a church in North Carolina, women have already met with the members of families in transition to cook Thanksgiving meals together side by side.
Twice this week before Thanksgiving Day, One Church International in Los Angeles will have already held an outreach to the people of Skid Row that includes providing food, clothing, and prayer at a North Hollywood location.
The event at the Laugh Factory comedy club is more about "breaking bread together" than the homeless simply being served, say leaders from OCI's "As One Ministry."
"We will not be serving food, but rather getting to know our new friends that are currently displaced in Hollywood. The point of this outreach is to create a family setting to those who are without, and to make everyone feel loved," state leaders from the church that recently moved closer to the city's homeless population.
"Now that the church has moved to our new home in West Hollywood, there is an even greater need to reach out to our brothers and sisters who live on the streets," said Touré Roberts, pastor of One Church International. "There is a blessing in serving the poor and outcast, and I believe our homeless outreach will continue to expand to meet the needs of the community."
At Elevation Church in the Charlotte area of North Carolina, Pastor Steven Furtick's wife, Holly, met with 40 women on Monday to pack 200 grocery bags with meals for families in need near the church's Matthews location. The meals went to serve 561 people in the community by way of outreach partner Matthews Help Center.
More than 20 volunteers from Elevation partnered with another ministry to cook a Thanksgiving meal side-by-side with families in transition.
"Another 60-plus volunteers will cook and serve a Thanksgiving meal alongside our outreach partner One7 on Thursday," said the church's communication and outreach director, Tonia Bendickson. "About 20 more volunteers worked with Hope Cancer Ministry to deliver Thanksgiving meals this week. Some of our volunteers signed up to serve with Samaritan House this week to celebrate Thanksgiving with neighbors. And still more signed up with Charlotte Rescue Mission."
Bendickson added, "That's a snapshot of what we're doing all over our city this week. When I tally up the impact it appears our outreach efforts this week will easily play a role in feeding more than 1,061-plus people locally. But if you take a broader view, the people of Elevation Church have given more than $2 million this year alone ($6.9 million over the life of our church) to serve the needs of people served by our outreach partners all year around. That means we are helping people in Haiti, Ecuador, the U.S. and Canada, Africa and beyond today and every day."
On Thanksgiving Day, in addition to several other projects, more than 200 volunteers led by a motel (families in transition) ministry from Saddleback Church in Lake Forest, Calif., will serve 700 meals at nine locations throughout Orange County.
"We'll share food, provide a short worship service, inspirational message, and pray for those seeking hope," said ministry leader Max McGhee. "During this special day of giving, God will fill our hearts and fill their bellies."
More than 1,500 shopping bags were filled with items from a Thanksgiving "grocery list" by members of Longhollow Baptist Church in Tennessee. The bags were filled with holiday dinner ingredients and cash for turkeys, church member Jon Wilke told The Christian Post.
The bags were already distributed to local families, many of which included single mothers.
"Our church is known for its creative outreach to single mothers. We do a special outreach called The Gift in early December," Wilke said.
Earlier this month, church volunteers and staff from The Potter's House in Dallas participated in the city's Feast of Sharing where more than 9,000 people were fed.
The church led by Bishop T.D. Jakes is also involved in several Thanksgiving projects, including giving food to more than 350 struggling families at donation sites that included shelters for victims of abuse (women and children) and a dialysis center.
For many churches, including One Church International, the holiday provides an opportunity to also deliver the Gospel message. On Thanksgiving evening, the church will "open the doors and invite the community in for praise and worship."
"There will be live music with worship leaders as well as prayers and interceders. We want to bless the community through prayer and encouragement. Also, we want to take the time to invite everyone to get to know Christ in a new way or for the first time," church leaders stated. "We will have some items of food, clothing and Bibles to hand out. But the main focus of this outreach is prayer, worship and praise. People have so much to be thankful for and we're excited to create the atmosphere for them to do so."
McGhee, who is also on staff at the 20,000-member Saddleback Church led by Pastor Rick Warren, told CP that he's asking for "people to pray for a successful day for all of us out in the harvest field."

A series of newsletters in the name of GOP presidential hopeful Ron Paul contain several racist remarks -- including one that says order was restored to Los Angeles after the 1992 riots when blacks went "to pick up their welfare checks."
CNN recently obtained the newsletters -- written in the 1990s and one from the late 1980s -- after a report was published about their existence in The New Republic.
None of the newsletters CNN found says who wrote them, but each was published under Paul's name between his stints as a U.S. congressman from Texas. Read full article »

Begging for solutions.
There are, of course, plenty of alternative scripting languages that use Windows-exposed APIs to deal with the serial port that can work bi-directionally on Windows.Or, create an executable application, instead.
Obviously, the developers of Arduino managed to resolve the issue with Windows serial communication to allow their boards to be programmed.
The PHP serial class can not read from the serial port on Windows due to some fundamental flaw in how Windows handles the serial port stream.
