Entering the tjieatre one was ac¬ costed by dainty bits of girls who found willing buyers for the button¬ hole bouquets that they had for sale. Mrs. Hiram Parks was in charge of the flower girls who were as pretty as the nosegays they had for sale. They were the Misses Frances Shie¬ bar, Estelle Reese, Hortense Meyer i and Diana Crawford of Providence, i R. I. Following a welcome by Mrs. Moses ' Feltenstein, president of the Ladies' | AuxiliiTv, came Martells, a female im- j personator, whose act h;<l most every¬ one guessing until he removed his • wig. Harkinp back through the days, of the Russell Bros., EllinKC, Stow- rt, '.he male Patti and others whose, name.'* have escaped us, it is sale to • say that Martells has the best female ' iniper.sonsUion act seen in .vears. Frank Ward of the Keith forces, had' a distinct novelty act. besides aii amutiing monologue. With the aid of four f-f his lirtgers he presented danc¬ ing dolls in what proved to be a very clever bit. i Harry Puck of the famous Puck family, entertained in his own clever way and sang snatches of his former hits svlch as "California and You" and "There's a Light Burning Bright In the Window Tonight." His whole ; act is one of grace and charm, poetry and music, done in a way that leaves i nothing undone. Betty Bond, tha charming and "easy j to look at" singihg comedienne, well j known to all theatre-goers, sang sev- j eral .songs as well as the solmen He-; brew Chant, "Eili, Eili!"

His impersonations of the dif ferent dancing of well known steppers was perfect in every detail. Harry and Emma Sharrycock pre¬ sented a baffling mind reading act that was enlivened Jay quick answers and a little humor now and then. A quintette of Lights Cruisers, the Swift Creek Quintette to be exact, made the journey from Bay Shore in order to help out at the show being given here* They were Bert and Frank Leighton, Eddie Carr, Frank Westphal and Babe Philbrick.

SELL 623 PAPERS vnlsed the house. From the opener to the act that closed the bill Freeport was treated to an exceptionally good bill, contain¬ ing novelties that were clever, and cleverly done. Too much cannot be said in praise of the actors who jour¬ neyed from New York and from Bay Shore to entertain and to help the He¬ brew Congregation build the beauti¬ ful temple that they have planned. The big heartedness of actor folks is no new thing to Freeport, but it will be well to remember Uiem after these various shows are over and after they have done all that was asked of them. One way to show the appreciation that all muat feel towards all actors will be to patronize the Lights Cruise next Tuesday. Ushers recruited from the young men of Freeport gave their services and the evening will go on record as a wonderful success. "' The officers of the Ladies' Auxiliary are as follows: Mrs. A. Puck, chair¬ man; Mrs. Freeman, Mrs. Markheim arid Mrs. Hiram Parks. Publicity Committee: Mrs. Nathan Schlesii, chairman; Mrs. Appleton, Mrs. Mark I*vy and Mrs. I. Meyer. Many people prominent in Freeport society and in theatrical circles were present in the large audience. FOUNlTFirAliANY first and second prize Joseph Cassasa, age twelve, of 84 South Main street, won the first prize, selling seventy-one* and Isadore Kra¬ mer, age eleven years, of 58 Henry street, won second. He was the little chap who won first prize the last time that one was of¬ fered, and might have duplicated his feat had it not been for the fact that the Review ran short of papers. An¬ other prize will be offered in the near future. MINISTER ON VAaTION Methodist Church to Have Well Known Speakers During August Rockville Centre Men Who Left Home Last Week.

The first proposition that will come before the people is located at West Merridk road and Bayview avonue and is known as the Figge property. There is a frontage of 300 feet on Mer- rici; road and a depth of 495 feet. The price is 175,000. The second proposition is the one that was voted on before, at Merrick road west of Ocean avenue, known as the Story property, with a frontage of .''32 feet on Merrick road and a depth of 450 feet; price $60,000, which is 15,000 more than was asked last time.

Aaerican Tiieatre Packed For
Vaadeville Giten by the
Daughters of Israel
The people who packed the Amer¬ ican Theatre Tuesday evening when the Daughters of Israel staged a bene¬ flt for the Temple that is to be built by the Hebrew Congregation of Free- port, witnessed one of the best vaude¬ ville performances that has ever been given here.
A great deal of credit was given to the Puck family for the work that they did in getting the show together, as well it might be, for the acts that came to Freeport through the cour¬ tesy of B. F.

Braking systems have long been ignored as a mandatory performance upgrade. The visual impact of cross-drilled rotors and racy looking multi-piston calipers looks great and stops even the heaviest of heavyweight cars, but the price tag is often out of the typical "street cruiser" budget. Welcome to the new century, where everyone is trading in their huge rear tires and skinny front pizza cutters for 18-inch wheels and racy brakes (heck, even Popular Hot Rodding's Project X is being retrofitted to stop and handle!) So, how can we do this without shelling out big bucks and spending hours trying to retrofit our old Chevy with modern components?
Classic Performance Products (CPP) of Buena Park, California, has come to the rescue with disc brake conversion kits for everything from early Chevy trucks to 70's era musclecars. One of the big advantages of the CPP kits is that most of the major components are OEM parts. The kits are designed to be a bolt-on installation, so even the average backyard mechanic with normal hand tools can complete the upgrade in about a day. The kit includes rear disc brake calipers with a built in emergency brake (OEM parts for '80-85 Cadillac Sevilles); 11-inch vented rotors, laser-cut caliper mounting brackets, rubber brake hoses, and all necessary mounting hardware. To complete the installation in style, CPP offers cross-drilling and gas-slotting of the rotors, emergency brake cables, and custom-bent hard brake lines.
Since all four corners of our Chevy will now be "modern," it was a given to update the master cylinder and the brake booster. CPP offers a custom master cylinder/booster combo that's available in 7-, 8-, and 9-inch diameters (an 8-inch dual- diaphragm master cylinder is also available from CPP). Along with offering a variety of sizes, CPP engineered the booster to mount close to the firewall for improved valve cover clearance. The proper brake pedal ratio is incorporated into the design so the full travel of the master cylinder is used, resulting in a higher, firmer brake pedal. The complete kit includes your choice of booster size, Corvette master cylinder, and proportioning valve. To prove how easy the installation is, Chris Basset installed the rear brake kit and booster in his storage garage with basic hand tools.
Chris wanted his classic '62 Bel-Air wagon to stop without having the annoying side-to-side pull usually associated with drum brakes, so he had already installed the front disc kit before we began our rear installation. After all of the CPP parts arrived, Chris quickly went to workupgrading his wagon. The installation was fairly straightforward. Follow along to see just how easy it is to get vastly improved braking on your classic.

For the Junior size, what is the unstretched heel to cuff measurement?
Would these come up as a thigh high on a 5'9" person? If not which rainbow socks/stockings/tights are recommended?
Hi there, I just have a quick question about the Extraordinary Harvest Rainbows. I'm have pretty skinny calves and have size 6 feet. I'd love a pair but one of the reviews said not for chicken legs. Do you think they will fit?
Hi I was checking to see what the calf stretch of the current batch is. I am hoping for a generous knee high and am not sure if I need to order these or the extra long ones. I am 5'9" and have 21" calves.
Thanks for your stellar service! I never regret an order, it's like Christmas every time I buy socks!

We finally got to see it this weekend and I loved it! It went by so fast. Considering where it ended, I did wonder how they'd squeeze a whole other movie out of it. But I'm sure they'll fill it up with great stuff and I won't be disappointed.
Jan, thank you so much for your review! It's been so long since I've read the book that I didn't trust my memory about what was true to the book and what wasn't. I knew you'd lay it all out here though, so thank you!
There definitely were some over the top parts, but I still enjoyed them. Thought the elf/dwarf crush was cute. I can never really get enough Legolas action scenes. And the melting gold statue at the end was kind of cheesy, but still fun.
Looking forward to the next!

7 Reasons You Need To Eat More Eggs
Eggs—the most perfect food on Earth?
Many Americans were raised on the theory that eggs were loaded with artery-clogging cholesterol, and that eating them was a surefire way to promote coronary heart disease. That couldn't be further from the truth, though. When Wake Forest University researchers reviewed some of the top scientific studies, they found no link between eating eggs and heart disease.
In fact, many leading health experts call eggs the perfect food. The white part and the yolk work together to bring you an ample serving of important vitamins, healthy fats, trace minerals, and other nutrients—all in one convenient, low-calorie package. After all, a single whole, large egg contains just 72 calories. They're easy to cook, too—nature's healthy version of convenience food. Here are seven reasons to put eggs back on your menu.
Instant Mood Boost
The Good News: Eggs contain a beneficial blend of omega-3 fatty acids, zinc, B vitamins, and iodide, nutrients that work together to battle fatigue and reverse bad moods.
Bonus Tip: Don't be tricked by "free-range" eggs. The hens may still be housed inside of warehouses (but at least not in tiny cages)
Read More: 11 Instant Mood-Boosting Foods
Nourish Your Muscular System
The Good News: Eggs are one of nature's best food sources, packaging muscle-protecting protein in a low-calorie food. The B12 in eggs also aids in muscle contraction, a must for avid gardeners!
Bonus Tip: Don't be fooled by the word natural on your egg carton. "Natural" eggs could come from hens fed antibiotics and genetically engineered feed, two things banned in organic eggs.

Guard Against Cancer
The Good News: Women who eat higher levels of choline, a nutrient found in eggs, are 24 percent less likely to develop breast cancer, according to a recent study. One large egg boasts about 30 percent of your Recommended Dietary Allowance of choline.
Bonus Tip: Most of the choline is concentrated in the yolk, so be sure to include the whole egg in your omelet.
Read More: How Organic Are Those Eggs?
Feed Your Brain
The Good News: The choline in eggs helps keep your memory sharp while increasing the release of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that helps your brain store and recall information better. Eggs from hens raised outside on grass pastures also contain more omega-3 fatty acids that help power your brain.
Bonus Tip: Find a farmer who raises birds on pasture and supplements with organic feed. Eggs from chickens raised on grass produce eggs with much vitamin E, which scientists believe could help protect you from developing Alzheimer's disease.

Save Your Sight
The Good News: Eggs are a rich source of lutein and zeaxanthin, antioxidants that help stave off macular degeneration and cataracts. (Just be sure to eat the yolks!)
Bonus Tip: For an even more potent eye-protecting meal, mix lutein- and zeaxanthin-rich kale or spinach into your omelet.
Read More: 6 Healthy Fats You Should Eat
Slim Down
The Good News: Here's a delicious way to lose weight! Researchers from Louisiana State University found that when obese people choose an egg breakfast over bagels at least five times a week, they lost 65 percent more weight. And Saint Louis University scientists discovered that eating eggs in the morning led to eating fewer calories throughout the rest of the day, too.
Bonus Tip: Organic, Animal Welfare Approved, and Certified Humane eggs ban the practice of routinely feeding antibiotics to hens.
Read More: 7 Slim-Down Food Swaps
Stop Extinction
The Good News: You can help preserve old-school chicken breeds based on the eggs you choose to eat. Industrial farming generally uses one or two different hen breeds, which threatens the diversity of the species' gene pool. Luckily, demand for heritage breed eggs is causing a surge in other breeds—some that were or are on the verge of extinction!
Bonus Tip: Search LocalHarvest.org to find farmers in your area that raise heritage breed hens out on pasture.

IN THE RARE INSTANCES when a work of art transcends others in its field, it achieves the distinction of being proclaimed a masterpiece. Such works set a new standard, and include classics such as Dante's Divine Comedy, Da Vinci's Mona Lisa, and, of course, Metallica's Master of Puppets. The automotive realm has its stand-out performances as well, and these are not limited to haughty exotics from across the pond. The hobby's mandarins may sniff at the notion, but classic American muscle also has a well-deserved place in this pantheon.
Robby Hooper's 1964 Chevrolet Corvette is a prime example of a masterwork in the automotive medium. As the owner of Corvette Masters, a performance and repair shop in Maitland, Florida, Hooper was in the unique position to build something truly special. At the outset, he built the car "to see what my shop could do with what we know." The end result of his labors is the over-the-top C2 seen here.
Hooper's relationship with this midyear began at the 1998 Super Chevy Show in Gainesville.
A lifelong Corvette enthusiast, whose bona fides include having owned a '69 T-top coupe since he was 18, Hooper recognized the C2's distinctive silhouette beneath a car cover. After learning that the Vette was nearly identical to his own blown alcohol '65 coupe, save for its unique paintjob, Hooper struck up a friendship with the car's owner, Bruce Harvey. Several years and several owners later, Hooper learned that the car was for sale and jumped at the opportunity to own it, selling a Pro Street '57 Bel Air he was building to finance the buy.
As purchased, the C2 was a show car that had been converted into a race car, so it needed some sorting out. Hooper set out to revamp everything and return it to street-machine status, with one notable exception: he decided to leave the car's striking finish alone. After all, his mission was to follow his shop's creed to build cars that are "show-car quality, Pro Mod fast."
This Corvette is immediately differentiated from its more conventional brethren by its Pro Street styling. The body is all-original from the firewall back, and it sits on a square-tube chassis. Its front end is a racing-style fiberglass piece with functional headlights in the bumper. The arresting custom graphics and hand-airbrushed emblems were painted by former owner Harvey. In the back, a wheelie bar and a cutoff switch serve to reaffirm this car's nature as a performer.
In order to produce power in accordance with the car's extreme appearance, Hooper relies on a big-block Chevy topped with a monster huffer. The foundation of the powerhouse engine is a Bowtie block displacing 556 ci. Inside, Crower rods connect a set of Ross blower pistons with the Cola crank. All of the machine work and assembly were performed by Hartline Racing, owned by Dave Hartman. The pièce de résistance is a 12-percent-overdriven Littlefield 14-71 supercharger, which is topped by a BDS "bird catcher" hat.
Fueling duties are met by a custom electronic fuel-injection system designed with the help of Craig Railsback from BDS. This trick setup implements 16 32-lb/hr injectors and a 12-gallon fuel cell, all controlled by a FAST computer. The result is massive power output that's still streetable: Hooper notes that the engine will idle at 850 rpm-with the air conditioning on.
Compressed air and fuel are force-fed into a pair of O-ringed Brodix Big Brodie 320cc cylinder heads with Ferrea valves. These are affixed with SCE copper head gaskets for a boost-friendly 9:1 compression ratio. The camshaft is a BDS solid roller with 274/284-degree duration at 0.050 and 0.646/0.663-inch lift. Rounding out the valvetrain are Comp Cams pushrods and solid lifters, as well as K-Motion triple valvesprings.
Supporting mods include an MSD 7AL ignition system and a Moroso anti-cavitation oil pump. Exhaust gasses are expelled through custom headers with 2 1/2-inch primaries and a set of 4-inch sidepipes.

Grey's Anatomy
Grey's Anatomy Season 9 Winter Finale Spoiler: Why Is Liz Shepherd [SPOILER]? (PHOTO)
We learned on the last episode of Grey's Anatomy (Season 9, Episode 8: "Love Turns You Upside Down") that Derek's (Patrick Dempsey) sister Liz (Neve Campbell) had agreed to donate part of her nerve tissue to Derek, which would improve his hand's chances for recovery greatly. But what exactly will that entail?
Read spoilers at your own risk! For more on Wetpaint Entertainment's philosophy on spoilers, click here.
As we can see from the sneak peek photo above, that means that Liz will become a patient at Seattle Grace-Mercy West. The photo is from Season 9, Episode 9: "Run, Baby, Run" (airing December 13), and it looks as though Liz is happy to be doing this service for her brother.
But will things really go so smoothly? In her brief introduction last week, Liz seemed peeved that she hadn't been invited to meet Zola yet. And Derek made it clear that he didn't want any of his sisters involved in his life. Surely there must be some deep, painful rift between Liz and Derek, which we hope comes up in the winter finale.
Of course, this is Grey's, and we wouldn't be shocked if Liz wound up going into a coma or (gasp!) coming close to death during the operation. Fingers crossed she makes it through!
For more Grey's spoilers, click here.
Catch the next new episode of Grey's Anatomy on Thursday, December 13 at 9 p.m. ET/PT on ABC.

For some things it's perfectly fine, for other things it wastes my time. Forcing it on me would likely annoy me and I'd find another service that doesn't. I understand it's usability don't get me wrong, but I don't care about protecting my junk email account from hackers (and things of that nature).

A website I was a member of got hacked so I had to go around and change all my passwords because most of my sites I used the same password. I setup LastPass with the YubiKey for 2-factor authentication and I feel so much more at ease. I just wish more sites would use the Yubikey. If a service offers 2-factor, I use it.

I think your views would quickly change if your important accounts were hacked.

Posted 09 April 2013 - 23:13
I use a different password for every single place I use, and in most cases a different username as well.
I have been 'hacked' before in a game I used to play that ironically had two-factor authentication (A 'Pin-code' system). That's the only thing of mine that has ever been exploited and it turns out they got a SQL dump with non-salted passwords, likely got the un-hashed pass in minutes and brute-forced my pin as the game seems to have zero brute-force recognition. I later got my character back and all of it's stuff as there was an obvious roll-back.
Like I said, I'm not against two-factor authentication, but I am against forcing it upon me. I do - and will continue to - use it.

Some foreclosure payment checks bounce
The first wave of cash payments to 4.2 million borrowers possibly harmed during the foreclosure crisis have been mailed out, but the process has already hit a hurdle, U.S. bank regulators said.
Making an already complicated matter worse, an unknown number of checks issued bounced when recipients tried to cash or deposit them.
So far, more than a million checks totaling $1.2 billion have been cut to people who were in the foreclosure process in 2009 or 2010, when banks were routinely approving foreclosure paperwork without proper review. Those actions came to be known as robo-signing.
Did you get a check in the mail?
If you live in San Diego or southern Riverside counties, I'd like to talk about your experience. Email me at email@example.com with your name, city of residence, number and best time to call.
The compensation, a grand total of $3.6 billion, is part of a deal between banks and federal regulators that settle allegations that mortgage servicers abused the foreclosure system. Servicers are the companies that manage and receive home-loan payments.
Payments, which range from $300 to $125,000, were mailed out on April 12. Most of the payments are expected to be sent out by month's end. This applies to borrowers whose loans were serviced by: Aurora, Bank of America, Citibank, HSBC, JPMorgan Chase, MetLife Bank, PNC, Sovereign, SunTrust, U.S. Bank and Wells Fargo. The last phase of payments from those 11 companies and their affiliates are expected to be sent out by mid-July.
The mail-out dates for payments to borrowers with loans serviced by Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley have yet to be announced.
Related: Are you due a foreclosure payment?
So far, roughly 342,000 checks totaling $322 million have been cashed or deposited, said the Federal Reserve, one of two U.S. agencies involved in the settlement. The other agency is the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency.
An unknown number of checks bounced when borrowers tried to cash or deposit them, reported the Federal Reserve. The company contracted to send out payments, Rust Consulting, and the paying bank, Huntington National Bank, have fixed the problem, the agency said this week.
This is not the first time the foreclosure settlement has encountered issues.
The mass settlement actually replaced an expensive and drawn-out process that allowed borrowers to request free foreclosure reviews. That process encountered several problems including lack of participation and substantial results.
Borrowers did not have to fill out paperwork to receive the cash payments being mailed out.
Related: Foreclosures linger at 6-year low
Point Loma resident Chris Clifton, who was in the foreclosure process with an Oregon home, is among the 4.2 million borrowers who may be due compensation. The 48-year-old trade-show worker said whatever he gets in the mail will never make up for everything he's endured since 2008.
Clifton's adjustable-rate mortgage caused his monthly mortgage payment to balloon from $900 to as high as $2,000, he said. He requested a loan workout but was denied one by his mortgage company because the house was no longer considered his primary residence. Clifton said he had to move from Oregon to San Diego in order to find employment.

The year 1962 was an interesting one. John Glenn became the first American to orbit the planet, Marilyn Monroe died at the age of 36, and those damn Yankees beat the San Francisco Giants in a close World Series, four games to three. This was also a great year for the Chevrolet marque, with the introduction of the venerable 327 small-block V-8, and models that fit every price range, from the Biscayne up to the Corvette. We happened upon a couple of '62 Chevys recently down in the warm climate of Florida, which is a perfect spawning ground for all types of automotive incarnations.
Big-Block SoundtrackLarry F. Thomas told us that his '62 Biscayne started as a project that "wouldn't have too much bling, but plenty of zing." This mantra is a welcome departure from the instincts of today's car owners, who often confuse simplicity with wild, "blingtastic" rims and flashy, "show queen" underhood adornments. The other factor Thomas included in the buildup was the necessity of a mammoth motor and a stick shift tranny.
Thomas purchased the car back in 2001, and towed it back to Florida to begin plans for the re-creation. The car originally came equipped with a six-cylinder lump, an automatic transmission, a bench seat interior, and without a radio-just the combination the new owner was looking for. Work began in 2004, with a complete disassembly of the car. The big-block power that resides under the hood comes via GM Performance Parts-specifically, a 502ci short-block mated to Brodix BB2 aluminum heads, with 9:1 compression and a Lunati hydraulic roller cam.
The fuel/air mixture is cooked up with an Edelbrock C-454 intake manifold with raised ports, and a Holley Dominator 750-cfm carburetor. Spent fuel travels to the rear of the car by way of Hooker Super Comp ceramic-coated headers and a Fabricated 3-inch exhaust. The motor is cooled with a BeCool aluminum radiator equipped with dual fans. Thomas also added March serpentine pulleys to help the motor run the Classic Auto Air system.
When all the pieces came together, the 502 made 550 hp at 5800 rpm to the rear wheels, and 580 lb-ft of torque at 5600 rpm. All that power makes it to the rear through a Tremec TKO600 five-speed box, equipped with a Sachs 11-inch clutch. The one-piece driveshaft is mated to a Currie 9-inch rearend, with 3.70 gears and a TruTrac LSD unit.
The suspension is mostly stock, with some modern additions. Up front, Thomas added McGaughys tubular A-arms, KYB shocks, and Eaton springs. Thomas also included a GM 11-inch disc brake setup. In the rear, the same KYB/Eaton combination is used, housed in a CurrieTrac four-link configuration. The 'Cane rolls on Billet Specialties Vintec Dish wheels-17x8 in the nose and 17x9.5 aft. The front of the car grabs the road with 225/45/ZR17 BFGoodrich G-Force TA/KD rubber, and massive 275/40/R17 Mickey Thompson ET Streets ensure proper burnouts, both at the dragstrip and on the boulevard.
When we received information on the interior from Larry, one section stood out from the others. Under the listing for radio, Thomas wrote a big "NO," and added that he has no need for one: "I listen to the engine. It's a true radio-delete car." That's music to our ears here at the magazine, as we thought we were some of the only humans left who love the low rumble of a V-8 going through the four-cycle process, the purr of the exhaust ... back to the details.
Cars Inc. was the source for the OEM-replacement vinyl and cloth '62 seats. Thomas also went with the same company for most of the interior, including the Fawn-colored door and side panels, and carpeting.

MCP4 Update
One thing I'm very happy about is the upcoming release of the LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT 3.0 in August 2010. LEGO has taken the complaints from MCP4 and blog readers and made some serious changes to the kit. Again, I can't comment on all the changes, but a few that have been approved for sharing:
* Improved Touch Sensor - this sensor will be able to detect when it is pressed, released, bumped, and rubbed. "Rubbed" is a subjective state that you will be able to configure using the sensor's new block
* 40 Hassenpins - LEGO has heard our complaints and is bumping the count of Hassenpins up significantly
* The new "Smithpin" - 10 of these little beauties, designed by MCPer Chris Smith, will be included. They have a unique design that will allow 7L beams to be connected at obtuse angles to form diametrically opposed co-joints. This is a HUGE thing for us, so email LEGO and THANK THEM for this new part.
* 50L beams - 6 of these bad boys are being included... forget 15L beams... these are more than triple in size and will give your robots the ability to reach out and poke someone.
* LEGO memory card support for the brick - Yes, it's finally going to be available in the 3.0 kit - you'll be able to use a memory card (2MB in size) that you can buy directly from LEGO Online - current price is going to be around $50-60.
* Mirrored Motors - you only get 1 of these, but that's all you'll need. The standard motors will be cut from 3 to 1 in the kit, but the mirror motor is simply a housing that fuses two NXT motors together so you no longer have to come up with methods for connecting them and keeping them rigid.
Many more changes in store for the LEGO NXT 3.0 kit... LEGO will stop selling the 2.0 kit in July and has promised a reduced price of the 3.0 kit. Current price we're being told is $125.00 and they throw in 2 rechargeable batteries if you pre-order.
If you like what you're hearing, be sure to email MR. LEGO and tell him you LOVE the redesign of the kit. If you don't like it, email him anyway and let him know what you WOULD like to see in the 3.0 kit. Emails must be received by end of day today in order to make the WISH LIST.

Also, NXT 3.0 has the option of using motors wirelessly.
MCP's are already doing some testing here. I'll try to upload a video with a robot using this feature later today.

Does the new NXT-G include the do what I was thinking-not-what-I-programmed block?
This has long been the most missed block as having the NXT do what I programmed instead of what I was thinking I wanted it to do has been a real hassle.
In all my years of programming, this has long been the most overlooked feature.
Get your credit cards warmed up for NXT 3.0!
BTW: Can't wait for Laurens videos...

Sorry - currently having some issues with the motor control. NXT-G 3.0 isn't perfect yet.
I could shoot a video right now, but it'll be a boring video. The robot I made is a Segway (with all motor ports free of course).
I'm trying to make the wireless mode work in RobotC so I can port my previously made Segway program (which worked fine).
I don't know if I want to rewrite the segway prg in NXT-G 3.0. The good thing, though is that you have an option to make use of several advanced tricks even without data wires!

Way Too good to be true, It would be nice, but it would be even nicer if lego made their own CNCs so you can make your own custom lego parts. Its all really my opinion, but I seriously do think a lego CNC would be a great idea.

Hopefully, you've all thawed out successfully and are itching to roll up your sleeves and start working on your Corvettes--I know I certainly am!
To borrow the motto of the Boy Scouts of America, "be prepared," which translates to having some essential items ready for use before you begin working on your Vette. These are what I consider to be essentials: disposable nitrile gloves to keep your meat-hooks clean; WD-40 for penetrating rusted fasteners, cleaning paint off your hands, and a plethora of other uses; aerosol carb and choke cleaner for dissolving and removing grease and engine muck; a razor-blade scraper and a utility knife; a workbench; and a stool or bench on which to sit. A good torque wrench is also mandatory equipment if you're doing any projects that require specific torque for the bolts, such as heads and intake manifolds.
If you'll be doing any projects where elevating your Corvette is involved, you'll need a good hydraulic trolley jack, wheel chocks, a pair of sturdy jackstands, and a creeper or mat for your back. You'll also need a basic arsenal of tools that has a good assortment of screwdrivers, nut drivers, wrenches, sockets, and ratchets. The tools will be ASA standard if you're working on C1, C2, or C3 Corvettes and metric standard for C4s, C5s, and C6s.
Service, shop, and/or assembly manuals are always good to have on hand for your particular year/model Corvette(s); they contain pertinent data such as fluid capacities, electrical measurements, torque specs, and so forth. The best ones are the actual factory service manuals produced by GM and used by Chevrolet service technicians; however, Chilton, Motorbooks, and other publishers also publish excellent service manuals as well.
You'll do your best work and be most efficient if you wear comfortable clothing; perhaps have the radio, CD, player or iPod on to give you some pleasant tunes; and have bottled water or other soft drinks available to quench your thirst.
Lastly, always work safely, because it's no fun to get cut, bruised, burned, or sustain any other injuries while working on your Corvette. Make sure you have plenty of time to complete any project you start, since rushing things invariably leads to carelessness and accidents; the old adage "haste makes waste" is a true one. I know it's been said before, but safety is no accident--literally!
Well, that should keep you out of trouble for a while. Hope you have fun doing these projects--see you next year, same time, same issue, with a bunch of new Corvette weekend projects.

Building an over-the-top road-race Corvette can take more than hard work and dedication. Sometimes, you have to have patience and be prepared to wait more than 25 years for the right car to come around again.
"My '68 Corvette convertible has been special to me since the early '70s," says Gary Harlan, a 64-year-old retired mechanic from Klamath Falls, Oregon. "My sister's husband, Bill Hedekin, bought it from a San Diego wrecking yard in 1972. From all indications, it was a big-block, four-speed that had been stolen and was recovered without its drivetrain."
With the intent of converting the C3 into a Solo 1 and slalom racer, Hedekin lightened it by removing its convertible-top mechanism as well as its window glass and actuators. Then, he turned to the biggest name in Corvette Racing-"Mr. Corvette" himself, Dick Guldstrand. Guldstrand welded the frame solid and reinforced it at all of its weak points, installed the best suspension pieces of the day, and, later, added an eight-point rollcage.
Afterwards, Hedekin yanked the 327ci "fuelie" and Muncie four-speed trans from his '63 split-window coupe and installed it in the Stingray. The car was almost ready to go racing, but first, he wanted to install the fender flares he had seen on the Owens-Corning '68. Remarkably, they were available from his Chevy dealer's parts counter.
Hedekin campaigned the car at events in Southern California until the late '70s. He then retired it from competition, stripped it of its drivetrain and suspension, and put it into storage.
Although Hedekin eventually lost interest, Harlan never forgot about the race-prepped Corvette roadster. "I started thinking about the Silver State Classic Challenge and how his Corvette needed to be brought back to life," he recalls. "I started asking him about it when I would visit my sister for holiday trips. I kept bugging him about it, and finally, in 1997, he told me he wanted it out of his driveway and to come and get it."
Harlan was excited to start the long-overdue project, but he promised his wife that it would wait until she had their house remodeled. Finally, on Valentine's Day 2002, she gave him the good news: "Get started on the Corvette."
Harlan looked at the project as an opportunity to retain the classic Corvette Stingray's vintage personality, yet have it compete successfully against much younger and stronger Vettes in open-road racing. Along the way, he decided that driving the Corvette was so much fun that he should restore it to street-legal status, a configuration it hadn't seen in more than 30 years.
First, Harlan stripped every nut and bolt off of the car, sanded and painted the frame, and modernized the suspension. The latter task involved adding Vette Brakes & Products upper and lower control arms, front and rear monoleaf heavy-duty springs, 11/8- and 3/4-in (front/rear) sway bars, offset rear trailing arms, and a set of shortened Bilstein shocks. He also installed a VB&P braking system consisting of 10.8-in rotors at all corners, factory four-piston calipers modified with dual pins, insulated pistons, stainless-steel lines, braided hoses, and Hawk pads. "I would have liked to have removed the body from the frame, but it was impossible with the rollcage already installed," he says.
For the engine, Harlan chose vintage over modern. The car's 383ci small-block-built by Karl's Machine Shop in Klamath Falls-features a 3.75-inch Eagle forged crank, 6-inch Eagle H-beam forged connecting rods, and 0.030-over JE forged pistons. Topping the assembly are a pair of Brodix RR-200 heads (installed by Harlan), which provide old-school combustion power with their 72cc chambers, 2.05/1.60 Manley stainless-steel valves, and Comp 1.52-ratio rocker arms.

New Jersey teens in bust admit to lying to policeBy ERIC FRANCIS
CORRESPONDENT | April 02,2013Eric Francis Photo
New Jersey teenagers Daniel Morales, 17, center, and Rafael Jaquez, 18, seated right, both pleaded guilty in criminal court in White River Junction on Monday to giving police false names.WHITE RIVER JUNCTION A frantic phone call on Easter Sunday from a Springfield woman who told police she had been choked and a gun was placed against her head by gang members from New Jersey led to the arrest of two out-of-state teens, on minor charges.
The initial call to dispatchers at 1 p.m. Sunday prompted a swarm of police cruisers from Springfield, Chester, Weathersfield and the Vermont State Police to respond to the apartment building at 1 Wall St., directly behind Springfield Town Hall.
Trooper Jake Bloom said that when the first four arriving officers knocked and announced they were police, a 29-year-old woman opened the door and said she was alone in the apartment. As police began to look around they pulled a 31-year-old man out of a bathroom and assisted him to the ground, according to Blooms affidavit, which was filed in court.
Moments later officers came upon two teenagers sitting in a back room with a large Ziplock bag containing .22-caliber bullets and a gun-cleaning kit on the table between them. I ordered them to show me their hands and get on the ground, Bloom wrote, adding that they were then handcuffed without incident.
Bloom said both teens were evasive and mumbled their way through a variety of fictitious names and home states before they were taken down to the Springfield Police Department where their fingerprints were transmitted to the FBI Special Processing Department.
The FBI identified the one suspect as New Jersey residents Daniel Morales, 17, of Jersey City, N.J., and Rafael Jaquez, 18, of North Bergen, N.J..
On Monday afternoon the pair appeared in at the Windsor County criminal court in downtown White River Junction where they each pleaded guilty to providing false information to a police officer, were given credit for the night they had spent in jail, and were ordered to pay fines totaling $256 each before they were released from the courthouse.
Prosecutors said Monday that the original complaint lodged by the woman who called police and other circumstances surrounding the summoning of police to Wall Street on Sunday afternoon remain under investigation.MORE IN Southern VermontBENNINGTON — Ask author and Bennington College graduate Charlotte Silver if the title of...

There's good reason why his friends call him the Indiana Jones of the tire business. That's because until Corky Coker came along, collector car enthusiasts were in a real pickle. With big-name tire manufacturers having long abandoned the vintage car market, enthusiasts had nowhere to go to get tires for their restoration projects. Corky recognized this void, and began expanding his company's antique tire division in 1974. After convincing large tire companies, such as Firestone and Michelin, that reproducing vintage tires was a good idea, Corky obtained the licensing rights necessary to start manufacturing them. Due to the global nature of the tire business, Corky literally traveled the world hunting down antique tire molds. The hard work paid off, and today Coker Tire has over 1,000 different part numbers, and has grown from a 500-square-foot shop into a 100,000-square-foot empire in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Interestingly, although Coker's reproduction tires resemble their old-school counterparts, they feature the latest in modern tire innovations. To find out more about what goes into designing everything from whitewalls for street rods to bias-plies for muscle cars, Corky was kind enough to let us pick his brain. During our talk, we even covered some of the most basic yet commonly misunderstood aspects of tire design as well.
Company Beginnings
"Coker Tire Company was founded by my father, Harold Coker, in 1958. Harold dreamt of making rare and obsolete tires commercially available to antique car collectors. Having collected and restored cars for years, Harold recognized the need for this specialty area that his fellow hobbyists had so often demanded. I took over the responsibilities of the antique tire division in 1974. At the time, antique tire sales represented only 5 percent of the company's total business. Much of what we did over the next 20 years or so would actually define the vintage tire industry. The first obstacle was figuring out how to produce tires that were no longer being manufactured or supplied, which sizes would be most popular, and how to market and distribute them. We realized early on that we'd have to be our own best source of vintage treads. We bought molds from original tire makers if they still had them, and literally searched the world for old tire molds. Furthermore, we brokered deals with major tire producers that secured Coker Tire the worldwide licensing agreements and exclusive distributorships to big-name vintage brands including BFGoodrich, Firestone, Michelin, and U.S. Royal. To grow our customer base in an industry with no recognized method of distribution, we went straight to our customers. On the weekends, we loaded up a small van with tires, and worked car shows across the country, sleeping in the back to save money. Show travel became, and still is, the mainstay of Coker's commitment to its customers.
"As the era of mail order came into full bloom, aggressive advertising efforts targeted to car collectors and enthusiasts put the company's catalog in the hands of thousands of new potential customers. Perhaps the key component to Coker's success lies in the mail order aspect of the business that emphasizes customer service. We established the 'No Sweat' return policy that simply states that the customer is always right. Coker Tire's antique tire division started with one employee in 1974, and today has grown to more than 50. The company's web page is now a full e-commerce site with complete online ordering capability. All inventory has recently been consolidated to a separate 100,000-square-foot warehouse in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Our restoration shop and private museum opened in 2008 at the company's Chestnut Street headquarters."
Old Meets New
Although Coker's line of classic car tires-such as bias-plies for period-correct muscle car restorations and whitewalls for street rods-may look similar to tires produced back in the '30s, they feature the latest in modern tire design. According to Corky, tire technology has evolved tremendously through the decades, and Coker's designs resemble the originals in appearance only. All of the company's products are designed from the ground up to be classic car tires. "We don't take a modern tire, grind up the sidewall, and cure a whitewall on it. They're designed from the start to be classic tires," Corky explains. "Even when we make a bias-ply tire for a '65 Chevelle that needs to look just like the original tire, we use the most modern compounds, cord angles, and carcass designs. Likewise, treads stock today are much better than they were in the '60s. With traditional looks and modern technology, it really is the best of both worlds."

Historic Workington church could face closure
Last updated at 15:55, Friday, 07 December 2012
A Workington church is at risk of closure because there is not enough money to keep it running.
Archdeacon of West Cumberland, The Venerable Doctor Richard Pratt, told 21 members of the Northside Church congregation on Sunday that the building, which is about 100 years old, could face closure.
He said that no decision had been made but added: "We had an initial discussion with the congregation saying that we need to think about it.
"They need time to reflect on what has been said.
"Even if the church building closes it doesn't mean the church closes. We are not giving up on Northside.
"The church building is quite big and relatively expensive. We will find some other way."
He will meet in the new year with the Northside Parochial Church Council which had flagged up the financial problems.
He said it would be the PCC's decision whether to close the building.
The Rev Ian Grainger, Vicar at Northside, said: "It's a difficult situation. The reality is that we are short of suitable options. The Northside Church situation is precarious.
"We will continue to have discussions for as long as we need to."
He said that St Paul's Church in Seaton and Northside Community Centre had been discussed as possible alternatives.
But Doreen Murray, Northside Community Centre acting manager, said last month that the centre could close in March because of funding issues.

Have your say
Opps it celebrated it's centenary in 1993
The church celebrated its centenary in 1883 and it was the occasion was honoured with a visit by the Princess Royal(see link below). There was the opening of a time capsule and another time capsule was placed in the walls with messages from Northside children.
It is a very pretty church but is not sited in the best area with the main road and chemical plant spoiling the setting of the church.

Your son is a few months away from turning five and you haven't finalized plans for his first official "friend party." What can you plan to insure that he and his friends never forget this birthday? Invite his favorite character, Thomas the Train!
If you are handy in the kitchen, you can impress everyone with a creative Thomas the Train cake. If baking's not your strong suit, most large bakeries can make a cake for you. For the rest of the food, keep it simple. Kids are really only interested in the cake, aren't they? And what about party favors? Instead of buying disposable party supplies, consider buying a brand new Thomas and Friends dinnerware set for each party guest. They can use them for food or just take them home to keep!
Keep things fun for everyone by keeping the kids busy and moving. Visit the Thomas and Friends website for a few great games and activities like a version of "Simon Says" featuring Sir Topham Hatt and, for older kids, a Thomas-themed game of Twenty Questions.
If you haven't yet found the perfect gift, there are about a million Thomas toys to choose from. You might take this opportunity to add a few more train cars to his toy train set or go for something new with a Thomas and Friends Dieselworks Playset.
No matter what you plan for the party, your birthday boy and his guests are sure to have fun because one of their favorite characters will be there!
