I've seen several posts requesting advice for updating 1960's knotty pine kitchens, but I have yet to see any 'after' pictures. Does anyone have any photos they'd be willing to share?
I am particularly interested in cabinets that have been painted, as a complete gut job is not in the budget. My doors are planked and I thought painting them would make them look more cottage-y and less dated. I plan on replacing the existing formica countertops with stone. I also plan on replacing the existing iron strap hinges and pulls, but I've just realized the offset hinges could be a problem. Any advice/photos would be appreciated.... |

bumble doodle, Sorry I don't have any photos to share, but would really like to see a photo of your kitchen. |

Here's a couple sites I found for you. |
I don't have any but I have seen photos from a company that did "spruce up" your kitchens and it was remarkable. |

Aww--- I liked the first kitchen better in the knotty pine: it was charming. (this from someone who doesnt have to live with it). The second pine kitchen, yeah, not so much. I would like to see pictures of what your kitchen looks like now:) |
We, like you, could not afford to gut our kitchen, so we had our knotty pine cabinets painted. We don't get much light in our kitchen, so the lighter cabinets really brightened up the room. I don't think your hinges would be a problem. We used to have pulls on our upper cabinets, but our painter filled the holes and replaced them with knobs. You can not tell where the holes used to be. We already had granite countertops when we bought our home, but I would like to replace the backsplash eventually. |

Colette7, your "after" kitchen is absolutly beautiful. I love it. And your kitty is so well behaved! LOL |
We have 50's 60's GOOD quality knotty pine cabs complete with the wrought iron hinges etc in my parents kitchen. We re-vamped the kitchen and upgraded modestly (by opening up one side) and did not move the cabs...there was one wall of them. Sorry but they are in Calif and I dont have fotos. But the results were really really good and they and we are still enjoying. Here's what was done: the doors and exteriors were completely stripped of varnish or whatever, sanded very satiny smooth and re-finished with a clear sealant (many coats). So the color of the pine is now quite appealing espec because in those days the pine was better! and yes, the knots show but with a lighter more golden overall wood, they look good. We considered painting over for the cottage look but to get it even enuf so that the knots were not so apparent, would have meant a fair amt of the same prep work. We then CONNECTED these preexisting pine cabs to an adjacent wall by installing three open shelves in an L ...wrapping the corner and continuing along the adjacent wall. These were done in pine with the end panel being pine. It was an important element because it emphasized a country cottage open-display look and made the pine cabinets look fresher/different. Good luck |

Thanks for the replies - I will try and take some photos tonight! Collete7, your kitchen came out great and it's exactly what I'm hoping to accomplish! DH has been having a difficult time wrapping his head around painting the wood. I can't wait to show him your space. bicoastal, your refresh sounds interesting. I like the idea of the open shelving but I don't think I'm tidy enough to pull it off! Lol. We've been in the house for 9 years and I've tried to come to terms with the pine - REALLY - but I just can't do it. It's SO dark and depressing and the room never gets any direct sunlight. It's awful and BLAH and everywhere. I probably also should have started a thread asking if anyone regretted painting their pine..... :) |
bumble doodle - I went through several months of doubt and anxiety before I finally decided to have my cabinets painted. I can give you details, like what type of paint and the process our painter used - later tonight if you like. If not done correctly, the knots could absorb the paint and show through. caroline - thanks for the compliment! |

This site talks about painting knotty pine (more about tongue and groove but also cabinets) and the need for good primer. You might find some helpful info. |

I was hoping that link would show the discussion (44 comments). Go below the photo to "Good questions, should we paint over our knotty pine tongue and groove?" Personally, I say go for it. |

saray7997, thank you for posting your photos. I like where you're going with your refresh! One of the reasons I'm on the fence is because most of the house has painted woodwork/trim and to me, it doesn't seem to flow. It's just the kitchen, pantry and laundry/mudroom that have 60's knotty pine. The PO's also added some to the DR but it would be an easy fix. Last night DH suggested doing a 'test' with the laundry room and I think he may be on to something. It's out of the way and if we decide it doesn't look right, then no significant harm will be done to the house. We live in the country - CT dutch colonial- so going rustic or cottage isn't out of the norm. I'd just really like a space I'm comfortable cooking in. Thanks for the heads up on the Old House forum. I never really even thought of stopping in there as most New England houses aren't considered 'old' unless they were built in the 1800's or earlier...lol :) |

The original fridge would have been much smaller and approximately counter depth. Although I like knotty pine kitchens as kind of a historical thing, I can understand that they are making your kitchen dark. I think they could look nice painted. I would keep the wrought iron hardware and the scalloped valances...they are so much a part of the "look". |
- Posted by bumble_doodle (My Page) on Thu, Feb 11, 10 at 8:58
palimpsest, the fridge was a mistake on our part. It's big, not as big as it seems in the photo, and it has been nothing but problems since we bought it. It will eventually be replaced with something much smaller as I'd rather have a larger freezer in another location. We really only use the refrigerator for produce, cold cuts and beverages. The freezer, however, is packed with home made stock, soups, sauces, etc. DH would like to keep the hardware too. I have seen painted woodwork with original iron hardware in a lot of the historical homes in the area. I just wasn't sure if the same look could be pulled off in a non-period home. suero, than you for the mockup - I have copied it to my kitchen folder for future reference. My goal is to complete the refresh in the Fall so I'm trying to research all of my options well in advance. Thank you all for your advice! |
- Posted by palimpsest (My Page) on Thu, Feb 11, 10 at 9:06
The manufacturers don't really give you much choice. Refrigerators have gotten gigantic, and especially deep. I have been looking for a fridge for my parents' kitchen and out of 100s, there are a handful that might work, several of which are so Deep they will really protrude. I hope I didnt sound critical, I was just making an observation as to how that design originally worked better. |
- Posted by bumble_doodle (My Page) on Thu, Feb 11, 10 at 11:46
No worries palimpsest, you weren't critical at all! I just wish the original designer didn't put it so darn close to the stove. Or maybe I just wish the stove was somewhere else - there's plenty of room. I can't even begin to tell you how annoyed I get trying to cook Thanksgiving dinner. My 'loving' family jams me into the stove every time they open the fridge door! It's painfully apparent (literally) that our kitchen was built at a time when there was just one cook in the house. :) It was also built for someone who was left handed, but that's a whole different story... lol. |

[1023] Platelet Cloaking of Cancer Cells: Platelet Adhesiveness, Effect of Vascular Shear and Access of Chemotherapeutic Agents.
Darragh J Crowley, Karl Egan, Eimear Dunne, Sharon A O'Toole, Cara Martin, Paul A Smyth, Dermot Kenny, Orla M Sheils, John J O'Leary. Trinity College Dublin, Ireland; Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland, Dublin, Ireland; Coombe Women and Infants University Hospital, Dublin, Ireland
Background: Recent studies have demonstrated the important role of platelets in metastasis. Tumour cell induced platelet aggregation (TCIPA), where circulating tumour cells (CTCs) may become 'cloaked' with platelets, has implications for chemotherapeutic efficacy, CTC-endothelium adhesion and CTC extravasation. CTC-platelet cloaking kinetics are poorly understood. We examined (A) platelet-cancer cell adhesion, (B) the role of vascular shear in platelet cloak formation and (C) the impact of platelet cloaking on chemotherapeutic responses.
Design: A: Cell lines representing normal ovarian epithelium and a spectrum of ovarian cancer were studied. Gel filtered platelets were prepared from whole blood from healthy volunteers, loaded with calcein AM dye and applied to cell lines for 45 minutes. Total fluorescence and residual fluorescence following three washes, indicative of platelet adhesion, was recorded. Adhesion was calculated against total fluorescence and a fibrinogen positive control. P-selectin expression as a measure of activated platelets was also assessed by flow cytometry. B: Cone and plate viscometry was used to examine shear and non-shear effects on platelet cloaking of cancer cells. Suspensions of platelets and tumour cells were sheared for 15 minutes at 37oC at a constant shear rate of 200s-1. C: Cell survival and apoptosis was measured in platelet-cloaked and uncloaked ovarian cell lines treated with paclitaxel or 5-fluorouracil.
Results: Cancer cells demonstrated varying adhesiveness and a dose-dependent ability to activate p-selectin after platelet exposure. Cloaking of cancer cells occurred under venous shear, with infrequent cloaking in static conditions. Cloaked cancer cells demonstrated significantly greater cell survival (p<0.05) in the presence of chemotherapeutic agents than uncloaked cells.
Conclusions: Cancer cells form platelet cloaks, which is dependent on vascular shear. Platelet cloaking reduces chemotherapeutic efficacy in cancer cells. The role of platelets in the metastatic highway appears to be important with potentially serious outcomes for patients with cloaked CTCs.

Photo from U.S. Marshal's office
Article Extras
The U.S. Marshal's office is auctioning furniture formerly belonging to Rita Crundwell, the former Dixon, Ill., comptroller who pleaded guilty to stealing more than $53 million from the city.
Crundwell pleaded guilty to one count of wire fraud and admitted engaging in illegal money laundering as part of a plea agreement, according to the U.S. Attorney's office.
The 59-year-old faces up to 20 years in prison and fines of up to $250,000. The government is asking for a sentence of 15 years, 8 months to 19 years, 7 months. The defense wants a range from 12 years, 7 months to 15 years, 8 months.
On Monday, the U.S. Marshal's office announced it will hold an online auction Dec. 6-8 to sell furniture formerly belonging to Crundwell. Items can be seen at professionalauctions.com.
"After researching the options, we determined that an online auction is the best method to keep our selling costs low and maximize proceeds to the victims," U.S. Marshal of the Northern District of Illinois Daryl McPherson said in a statement.
"We are working with Dixon Public Schools to arrange for a computer lab to accommodate those within the local community who may have some anxiety with online auctions."
Six vehicles formerly belonging to Crundwell remain available in an online auction through Dec. 6. The vehicles -- including two boats and an RV -- can be found at auctionflex.com or http://bit.ly/RPKn9Z and http://bit.ly/QUuQZk.
Following her arrest on April 17, Crundwell agreed to a liquidation of assets acquired with proceeds from the decades-long fraud scheme. The U.S. Marshals Service has recovered about $7.4 million from the sale of about 400 quarter horses, vehicles, trailers, tack, and a luxury motor home.
Additional auctions of personal belongings and real estate in Illinois and Florida are pending.
Crundwell remains free on her own recognizance pending sentencing by Senior U.S. District Judge Philip Reinhard on Feb. 14 in Rockford.
She agreed to restitution to the city of Dixon totaling more than $53.7 million, minus credit for funds repaid; and agreed to a forfeiture judgment in the same amount.
Dixon, with a population of about 15,733, is about 100 miles southwest of Chicago. Crundwell served as comptroller and handled all of the city's finances from 1983 until she was arrested.
According to the plea agreement, she opened a bank account in 1990, which she alone controlled, in the name of the city of Dixon. Between December 1990 and April 2012, she transferred funds from other city accounts and used it to pay personal and private business expenses.
Dixon's mayor reported Crundwell to law enforcement in the fall of 2011 after another city employee assumed her duties during an extended unpaid vacation and brought the records of the secret account to the attention of the mayor.
Crundwell owned RC Quarter Horses and kept the animals at her ranch on Red Brick Road in Dixon and Meri-J Ranch in Beloit, Wis.

We are looking for a natural gas grill, we don't care about a side burner, just want a grill that does not require lots of cleaning and maintence. We will keep the grill covered, but do not want to have to remove parts to clean often. At this point in our lives, with two kids playing sports 5 nights a week, during the summer and working full time, we want something that will cook a decent chicken breast or steak but don't need to win a grilling competition. We saw some infrared grills, but are wondering how much cleaning they need. To be honest, if we grill it is to avoid cleaning a broiler pan, so cleaning grill parts every time won't be good for us. Suggestions? |
Follow-Up Postings:
I would suggest buying a Kamado Charcoal grill from Costco for about $100 more. Last a lifetime, grills and smokes better than any gas grill. Easy to clean. Using a Weed Torch it is ready to go every bit as fast as any gas grill. |

A pageant queen is bringing together some local dance bands for a good cause and a good time this weekend.
A Diabetes Awareness Benefit Gala takes place at 7:30 p.m. Friday at Charlie's Restaurant & Club in downtown Gastonia. The event will feature performances by GTown Sound, James Bates and the Original Spontanes, Hotwired and Java Music. There will also be a DJ, lots of dancing and $1 raffle tickets for a chance to win a one-week stay at an ocean front beach condo.
Tickets are two for $25. Proceeds benefit Gaston County Diabetes Association to support educational classes and kids summer camp opportunities for diabetes awareness.
"This event will hopefully give type 2 juvenile diabetes some recognition and hopefully bring it to the front of people's minds," said event organizer Mya Kayler, a 2010 Highland School of Technology grad and rising senior at North Greenville University in South Carolina. "This money is staying right here in Gaston County to help the people and children in this county be educated on diabetes and hopefully break the cycle of type 2 diabetes ."
Kayler , also a Gastonia native and the reigning Miss Mount Holly, is gearing up to compete in the Miss North Carolina Pageant, which takes place this month in Raleigh. Her platform focuses on type 2 diabetes awareness, which she was diagnosed with last year.
The diagnosis shocked her, said Kayler , 21, who described herself as small and fit.
"It was a complete lifestyle change and a completely different way I had to look at my life," she said. "I can't eat a lot of the normal things a 21 year old likes to eat. I have to make sure I'm fueling my body with healthy proteins and fats and vegetables."
She's faithful to her workout routine, which includes crossfit training and running. She visits local schools to talk to young students about the importance of proper nutrition and staying active. To reinforce her message of "Eat Right, Play Hard, Live Long," she gives out jump ropes to kids.
"We have to eat the right food, play our 30 minutes a day and if we do that, we'll live long, healthy lives," Kayler said.
It's an issue Kayler said she's passionate about.
"It's important to educate people on the symptoms and signs of diabetes so they can be aware of what's going on with their bodies," she said. "It's so huge right now and it's going to be huge in our future, especially if people continue to feed their children all the fast food we're eating and continue to be sedentary."
For tickets, visit the Rainbow Paint Store, 215 E. Franklin Blvd., Gastonia, Medical Center Pharmacy, 515 Cox Road, Gastonia, or call 704-674-5770. A limited number of tickets will be sold at the door.

Hemmings Find of the Day – 1965 Chevrolet Biscayne
Dog-dish hubcaps and a lack of graphics alone don't make for a good sleeper. Too many people think they can dress down their E-bodies and A-bodies, stick big chromed-out engines in them, and claim sleeper status with their cars. Those folks should take a good look at this 1965 Chevrolet Biscayne for sale on Hemmings.com, a four-door unadorned bench-seat car without Impala aspirations that looks like it could have once served as a taxi or grocery getter, but in fact has a 454 big-block V-8 and built chassis, all finished with an impeccable eye for detail. From the seller's description:
New Engine factory 454, 425HP with new 700R4 OD transmission made to look like a 4 speed car. No expense spared, over $70,000 invested.

Hemmings Find of the Day – 1972 Chevrolet Monte Carlo Custom
Chevrolet's personal luxury coupe often gets short shrift from enthusiasts, but to own and drive a first-generation Monte Carlo is to love it. Smooth ride, almost-modern handling, rock-solid reliability and the typically bottomless Chevrolet parts availability make Monte Carlos a great choice for someone seeking a Chevelle or Camaro alternative. This Gulf green 1972 Chevrolet Monte Carlo Custom for sale on Hemmings.com is a particularly well-appointed example, built with RPO Z03 Custom equipment, which added a left-hand remote mirror, custom wheel covers on 15 x 7-inch wheels with blackwall tires, a custom four-spoke steering wheel, the auxiliary lighting group and sport suspension with front and rear stabilizer bars. The vinyl roof covering and white stripe tires would've also been options, as of course would've been the 240-hp (345-lb.ft.) 400 V-8 with 8.5:1 compression, four-barrel carburetor and factory dual exhaust. Checking off the big-block engine on the option sheet further upgraded an automatic transmission to the Turbo Hydra-Matic 400 and bought you an 8.875-inch axle with 2.73:1 gears (3.31 with the trailering package). This car also has air conditioning. What's interesting is that this Monte Carlo is advertised as a West Coast car, but if the seller is referring to California, it must've migrated there at some point in its life. Neither the 400 nor the 454 were available in California when these cars were sold new. From the seller's description:
Original Unrestored Survivor West Coast Monte Carlo with the Custom Package and 67,000 miles. Equipped with the 402 Big Block, Turbo 400, A/C, P/S, P/B, Factory AM/FM, PO2 Hubcaps, HD Suspension with Build Sheet and POP. Unbelievable undercarriage and rust free condition. Original engine compartment, paint, interior etc. Rare opportunity to purchase a survivor Big Block West Coast Monte with the Custom Package and low miles.

Hemmings Find of the Day – 1969 Chevrolet Corvette convertible
For 1969, the Corvette Sting Ray returned as the Stingray, with a host of improvements and refinements over the 1968. Among the most notable: The gutsy 300-hp 350 became the base small-block, the standard wheels were now a full eight inches wide, and the car's trademark side exhaust was back on the option sheet after a one-year hiatus. Other details included an ignition switch mounted on the steering column, with conventional door locks in the doors, a 15-inch diameter steering wheel (down from 16 in previous 'Vettes) backup lamps incorporated into the taillamps, standard headlight washers and a standard interior center console. If you happen to be a fan of the 1968-1972 chrome-bumper Corvettes, you know that they seem like a bargain compared to their midyear predecessors and, if you're really short on cash, the prices only go down from there, plummeting into the $5,000 range for a flogged fourth-gen. This 1969 Chevrolet Corvette convertible on Hemmings.com is a prime example of the deals that can be had when shopping for a post midyear Corvette: A tri-carbureted 435-hp 427, claimed to be original, with a four-speed, wrapped in subdued Cortez Silver and black interior for far less than you'd expect to pay for a comparably equipped 1967 Corvette. The seller is even going to throw in a new four post hydraulic lift. From the seller's description:
1969 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible, 427/435, Cortez Silver, Black vinyl , Original Motor, and Transmission, REAL numbers matching car, tank sticker still on tank, vinyl hard top,original glass, chrome and stainless trim. Original spare,original rally wheels,power steering, power brakes, M21 4 speed, 3.55 posi rear, all new mechanicals, brakes,calipers, brake lines, master cylinder, radiator, water pump, 2-1/2" exhaust, clutch, shocks, rebuilt carbs, new leather seat covers, rugs and soft top (still in boxes). Four-post hydraulic lift included in sale.

Hemmings Find of the Day – 1962 Chevrolet Biscayne
Hey, it's another good-looking early 1960s Chevrolet, right? Maybe a little drag racing influence with those fat rear tires, right? But not too much with those dog-dish hubcaps, right? Except this 1962 Chevrolet Biscayne for sale on Hemmings.com, while stock-appearing on the outside, and even on the inside, hides a monster of a big-block V-8 under its hood and plenty of other semi-disguised hardware to back it up. From the seller's description:
This car is just out of a private collection. Has not been offered for sale anywhere! This is truly a one of a kind. The theme behind this build was to have a Mint Perfect stock appearing 62 Biscayne, but with state of the art performance drive train. Basically what is called today as a Rest-O-Mod. With that said, this car was a 38,000 original mile Texas car. This Car has received a complete frame off restoration. Every nut and bolt has been replaced. Body is an all original rust free body with all its original sheet metal. This car scored 997 points when judged at the Classic Chevy Winter National Show in Orlando. It has been featured in Super Chevy and Chevy Classics magazine. An absolutely stunning car inside, outside, and undercarriage. Well over $100,000 invested in this build.

Hemmings Find of the Day – 1968 Chevrolet Chevelle
To some, what matters most is a car's authenticity, while to others, it's a car's appearance. To a third group, the only thing that matters is how well a car goes, and this 1968 Chevrolet Chevelle for sale on Hemmings.com should appeal to that latter group. Its current owner makes no claims of originality, and readily admits it's a base Chevelle with an SS interior and a straight, rust-free body. The standout part, however, is the built 427-cu.in. V-8 between the fenders, enhanced with a custom ground cam, roller rockers, forged pistons, a Holley Double Pumper carburetor and headers exhaling through a Flowmaster exhaust. From the seller's description:

Pump, billet cam, roller rockers, forged domed pistons, Hedman Hedders, Flowmasters, 8″ Rallies, power steering and power brakes, new SS interior, Pioneer stereo, straight rust free body, immaculate

Big-block Chevrolet Nova wins Goodguys 2013 Hemmings Muscle Car of the Year award
Donald Knox's award-winning 1970 Chevrolet Nova. Photo courtesy Goodguys.
The formula of shoehorning a big engine into a small car is one that never goes out of style, but some like to take this one step further. Why pay for luxury amenities you don't want and won't need, when the bulk of your driving will be done in quarter-mile increments? While you couldn't walk into a Chevrolet dealer in 1970 and order a base model Nova with the big-block V-8, Donald Knox's immaculate 1970 Chevrolet Nova, winner of the Goodguys 2013 Hemmings Muscle Car of the Year Award, asks the question, "What if you could?"
To be clear, Knox's car started life as a base V-8 Nova, but sometime before he purchased the car a 402-cu.in. V-8 from a Chevelle was substituted for the original engine, likely a 307-cu.in. V-8. The current engine is rated at a conservative 350 horsepower, and the car shifts through a Turbo Hydra-Matic 400 transmission, sending power to the Firestone Deluxe Champion redline tires through a 10-bolt Positraction rear end. That should deliver a quarter-mile performance in the neighborhood of 15.7 seconds, at around 98 MPH.
Underneath, the car rides on F41 heavy-duty springs and shocks, and includes both power steering and power brakes. Though the 14-inch redline tires give the car a sporting look, the dog-dish hubcaps run counter to the car's sporting mission. We'd stop short of calling it a Q-ship due to those 396 emblems on the front fenders, but it certainly is understated in appearance.
Not content to have just another hot-rod Nova, Knox took his car one step further, detailing it as it would have been delivered to a dealership (had such a car existed). The restored front bench seat looks showroom-fresh, and Knox usually displays the car with plastic covers on the pedals, sun visor and steering wheel. The engine compartment is as clean (or cleaner, perhaps) as that of a car that just rolled off the assembly line, seeming to contradict the 60,000 miles displayed by the Nova's odometer. And those 60,000 miles are as of now: Though Knox, who lives in North Carolina, is considering shipping the car to the Goodguys Southwest Nationals in Arizona this November, he typically drives it to shows in the Southeast. It's no trailer queen, as Knox doesn't even own a trailer to haul it in or on.
Though purists may complain that this isn't an original car, that misses the point of the build entirely. Given the value of a Yenko Nova, or other such special original build, driving it on the street is cost prohibitive. This Nova, on the other hand, can be driven and enjoyed without fear of asset depreciation, which is really the point of owning a muscle car in the first place.
Hemmings Find of the Day – 1968 Chevrolet Impala Sport Coupe
It's always nice to see a seller including original parts with the car they came from, as is the case with this 1968 Chevrolet Impala Sport Coupe for sale on Hemmings.com. Even though one owner may not intend to perform a numbers-matching, date-coded spark plug wire restoration, subsequent owners may want to do so. With its original fan, clutch, alternator, fuel pump, and more in the trunk, this Impala is a good candidate for a full-on chalk-mark resto. From the seller's description:
2 door Coupe, NOT Custom, original 396/325, Turbo 400, 12 bolt, Cold A/C, PS, PB, PW, Tilt. Glove box mounted AM/FM/CD/MP3 player w/ 200 watt amp, and 3 way Pioneer 6X9′s w/ package tray displayed as they did from the factory from this era. This is an original BIG BLOCK Northern California car purchased October 18, 1967, from Lew Phillips Chevrolet Center, 2449 Fulton Avenue, Sacramento, California. The original owner is deceased as of 1991; and had a second, and third owner until 2003, when I purchased the car. Original Window Sticker, and Inspection sheet from original sale provided (please see photos). Upon purchase in 2003, with roughly 114,000 (of what I believe to be original miles), it was my daily driver for two years. During that time, it accrued roughly 30,000 miles/15,000 per year. After 2006, it became a weekend driver, and currently has nearly 157,000 original miles. The Impala has had one repaint in 2001; new heater core 2004; '67 396 4 core radiator installed in 2004 (currently in vehicle), numbers matching water pump purchased/installed 2007. Recent repairs include: New fuel pump, Rebuilt original carburetor, new rear RWL 275/60R15 BF Goodrich Radial T/A's (completed this morning 5/18/13). The Impala had HEI ignition installed in 2004, and is currently run for ease of operation. The original distributor is provided with the car should the new owner want to take it to the next level. Its code number is: 1111169 7H30. A flex fan currently is run to cool the car; and make the A/C efficient. The original fan and clutch have the numbers (on the fan): 913894 167, and below that 393100Z (or 2). I did not separate the fan from the clutch back then as that is what made me utilize a flex fan for the cooling system. Clutches for this fan were nearly impossible to find back in 2004. The radiator '67 396 4 core radiator has performed flawlessly for this car since 2004, and the original was only replaced because the tanks were unrepairable (believe me, I tried to have an expert repair them). The current alternator is numbers matching; but the one which came on the car is in the trunk. Its numbers are difficult to decipher; but here is what I interpret them to be: 1KD 480 61A, below that, 7C24, and the next part is questionable, 12VN5S. The original fuel pump was replaced in the past month. The original one needs repair, but will go with the car. ID number: AC Delco 491 0727. The water pump required repair in 2007, and Folsom Lake Chevrolet provided the repair. I purchased an OEM numbers matching waterpump; currrently on the car, BUT, the original from the car is provided with the purchase, and needs repair. Its original numbers are specified in the pictures. Needsless to say; the items in the trunk go with the car, are original to the car, and need repair to make it 100 percent legitimate/possible show car – if that is what the new owner desires. I do not have the Protecto-O-Plate.

One-off Motion Spyder prototype up for grabs
Photos courtesy Mecum.
The 1970s Can-Am wide-body Corvette look is an acquired taste, but if you can dig it – and if you can hustle on out to Indianapolis next month – Mecum will be offering one with the performance to back up those far-out flares.
From the collection of Motion aficionado Dan McMichael of Indianapolis comes this 1974 Motion Can-Am Spyder Corvette prototype, serial number 0001, built by Joel Rosen's legendary Motion Performance. It was the first of a run that amounted to just four Corvettes total: The other three were painted yellow with small-block power under their domed hoods, but this red one features a 530hp, 466-cu.in. big-block V-8 with a Muncie M22 close-ratio four-speed and a 4.11:1 rear gear. It boasts the fiberglass wide body kit, Plexiglas-covered headlamps, black rear window louvers, six tunneled taillamps and a set of 10-inch-wide tires on the rear, along with a hatch cut into the fastback body, a feature that Corvette coupes wouldn't adopt until 1982.
If you think the exterior is shagadelic, poke your head inside for a look at the black diamond pleat upholstery (with buttons) lavished on the seats and door panels. And that lever poking out of the console on the passenger's side? That engages the Hone-O-Drive overdrive unit that Joel Rosen installed on many Motion cars. It's an auxiliary two-speed planetary transmission that gives you a 1.43:1 overdrive when yanked into gear.
Mecum's pre-auction estimate for this one-of-a-kind Motion Corvette ranges from $150,000 to $225,000, but it seems like it could be anybody's guess what this car will bring when it crosses the block at the 26th Original Spring Classic Auction, scheduled for May 14-19 at the Indiana State Fairgrounds in Indianapolis.
For more information, visit Mecum.com.
UPDATE (20.May 2013): The Corvette bid up to $120,000, but didn't sell.
Hemmings Find of the Day – 1966 Chevrolet Biscayne
The Bonanza, a 1966 Chevrolet Biscayne drag car fitted with an L72 425hp 427-cu.in. big-block, should be familiar to longtime Hemmings Muscle Machines readers after Matt Litwin profiled it in the May 2011 issue. With documented ownership, build, and race history, along with an AACA award-winning restoration, it's a car sure to turn heads wherever it ends up. From the seller's description:
Karl Bill Jr was the service manager at Leroy Motors in Leroy, New York. He was a huge car enthusiast and racer at the tracks. On February 24, 1966, he signed the papers on a very special car that was ordered exactly the way he wanted it. This car was being purchased with one thing in mind….speed!
This was a special order car with these options as the original Bill of Sale indicates: L72 427 Cubic Inch Motor with 425 HP $444.38; M21 4-speed transmission $230.03; K66 Transistorized ignition $73.19; Posi traction Axle 456 $41.82; Special Suspension $31.37; Metallic Brakes $36.60; Tinted Glass $36.60; Less Heater -$70.01; Totaling $823.98 in accessories! Total MSRP $3399.48.
Ya baby! Built to go and go fast! Karl got his sponsors together and painted their logos on the white Biscayne. As I stated above, he won a lot of A stock and Top Stock eliminator awards. His two big wins were in 1967 where he beat the National Record holder at Niagara International and in 1968 where he beat Eddie Miller's Hemi that won the world finals. He raced the car for many years and his best time on the quarter mile was 11.73 seconds.
He eventually sold the car locally where it was painted blue and continued to race. Then after three owners locally, again came John Derue from John Derue Management. John was a huge car buff and has a lot of experience restoring classic cars. He knew of the car and its history and wanted to restore it like the day it was new and raced by Karl Bill. He got hold of Karl and he walked him all the exact details of the car so the restoration would be identical. The body was taken off the chassis and got completely stripped to bare metal. All of the sheetmetal is original to the car except the rear deck lid. That was damaged in a fight with another racer at the track. The frame was also stripped and completely restored. The body was put on a rotisserie and the underside was restored as well. As the restoration photos and current undercarriage photos indicate the bottom of this car is extremely detailed. It even has the red brackets that were for the fuel pump and fuel filter. The exterior was painted the original white. The paint was done like it was in 1966 and has the perfect texture to it. John then hooked up with well-known "Brian the Brush" to hand paint all the decals on the car. This is an art in itself and a dying breed. All the glass is original except the front windshield. As stated above, some NOS items were used on the exterior such as the bumpers and door handles. The interior was completely restored by Cars Interior and is beautiful. Some of the interior such as the steering wheel, cluster and dash knobs are still original. The tachometer and added gauges are vintage. The blue interior is very inviting and comfortable. The trunk compartment is also beautiful and houses the two original M&H mounted slicks. The engine compartment is highly detailed and has all the correct chalk markings. The original engine obviously isn't around after many passes down the track, but the current engine is a correct 427. It still retains the original date coded heads, intake and carburetor. This motor only has test miles and runs excellent. It's coupled with a M21 close ratio 4-speed and posi rear end with 3.70 gears. The undercarriage is very detailed as the photos indicate. I haven't seen an undercarriage this original in a long time. I did out the line lock wire inside the shift boot for the photos. If the car doesn't sell privately, I'm going to consign it to Mecum which is being held in Indy May 15-19 with a reserve. If it doesn't sell there, I'll be consigning to Barrett Jackson with no reserve in Las Vegas in September.

Hemmings Find of the Day – 1972 Chevrolet Camaro SS396
What's intriguing about this 1972 Chevrolet Camaro SS396 for sale on Hemmings.com is not so much its rarity and claim to being among the last of the big-block Camaros, but that it's managed to remain numbers matching and in decent condition without being molested overly customized, as (it often seems) the majority of second-generation Camaros were. From the seller's description:
This is an original and rare numbers matching SS 396/402 b/b car. Original M22 4-speed transmission. GM only built 970 units with the big block engine and 767 with the M22 transmission in 1972. This car was built the last week of February 1972. Production ended in April of that year so this is one of the last big block Camaros ever made. Complete drivetrain rebuild a few years ago; however, there are less than 1,000 miles since, the car was driven very little. The engine has an aftermarket intake and Holley double pumper carburetor. I have the original intake manifold along with some other original parts that go with the vehicle. All gauges, clock, and radio, and rear window defogger are original and work. Steering, front and rear chassis, and interior are rebuilt. New tires. This car is nice and runs great.

I have just released a new library for managing player input via the keyboard, called Key_State.
Key_State is a small and simple library which provides a way to answer to basic questions that are very important in video games:
1: Did the player press a certain key?
2: Is the player holding down a certain key?
DM uses an event based environment where code is tied directly to player commands, called
"verbs". In games with different environments, especially those with "game loops", the default event based player command system is a major obstacle. Using key states, a developer can passively log player commands, so that the game can actively respond on its own terms and at its own time. An example of this kind of system can be found in my action game Casual Quest (CQ). Go try the game, then come back; that way you'll be better prepared for the next paragraph.
In CQ, a central game object maintains a list of players, enemies, projectiles, and other game objects and information. Every server tick the game loops through this list and gives each object a chance to execute its own custom behavior: enemies move around and attack player, projectiles move forward and impact things, and player characters respond to client input.
This works via key_state. Every time a player character is given its turn by the central game object, the player character queries the client for key-state information, using this exact same library. If the client is holding the up arrow key (client.key_state(NORTH)) then the player character will move north. If the client has pressed the space-bar (client.key_press(PRIMARY)) then the player character will attack, and then clear the key-press data (client.clear_press(~PRIMARY)).
Using key-state info and a game loop, BYOND developers can create smooth movement and fun action games.
I'm keeping the library in Beta for now because I want more feedback before I finalize it. Don't let that stop you from using it, though; It is a fully functioning and bug-free library which I use in all my projects. If you have ideas to make the library better, or you do find a bug, please post on the forum.
If you found this link from the blog front page, you may be interested in my other blog post from 5 minutes ago, New Library: Dmm Suite

When her husband died in 1268, Lady Dervorgilla, had his heart embalmed and placed in an ivory casket which she carried everywhere with her. On her death, she was laid to rest with her husband's heart and the monks named the abbey in memory of her. Now under the care of Historic Scotland the romantic abbey is enclosed by an impressive precinct wall - a walk of massive granite boulders, ranking alongside the wall at St Andrews cathedral priory as the most complete in Scotland - and despite Scotland's turbulent history, it stands remarkably complete, in a beautiful setting nestled between the grey bulk of Criffel Hill and the shimmering waters of the Solway Firth.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking

Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Sluggy!
Facts about Sluggy
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: White (Mostly)
- Age: Adult
- Sex: Male
- Hair: Short
Sluggy's Info...
I am already neutered, a special needs pet, up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with cats.
I'm an older guy who made my way to the shelter in the midst of kitten season. Don't get me wrong. I'm no where near decrepit, but I'm sure not a kitten. I know that all too painfully well. Day after day I watch families come in, flock to the kittens, and take them home. No one seems interested in an older gentleman like me. The only people who give me attention are the shelter volunteers, but they are really busy taking care of all the cats and can't give me the quota of love that I require. Sadly, through no fault of my own, I also picked up FiV along the way. I can have a normal life span if someone responsibly cares for me and keeps me healthy. I love to be petted, brushed, and sit on your lap. Come into BCC and spend some time with me and you will see how loveable I truly am. Adopt me! You won't regret it!
Other Pets at Branford Compassion Club
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Sluggy, a North Branford Domestic Shorthair cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in North Branford, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair cat from a breeder in North Branford.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in North Branford already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a North Branford breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in North Branford paves the way for another one to be saved.

Norwood, MA (06/29/2009) - Analog Devices, Inc. (ADI), a global leader in high-performance semiconductors for signal-processing applications, today introduced a dual white-LED (light-emitting diode) flash driver that maximizes the limited current available in battery-operated digital cameras to increase flash brightness to over 200 Lumens and improve picture quality. The ADP1655 inductor-based flash driver improves the reliability of high-resolution camera operation in cell phones, digital still cameras, camcorders, PDAs and other camera-equipped portable devices, particularly in dark environments. In a cell phone application, the new driver's proprietary transmit masking function allows the camera flash to run at a higher LED current while simultaneously operating the phone's RF transceiver to monitor the cellular base station for incoming signals.
The ADP1655 integrates a 2-MHz synchronous boost converter, a 500 mA (milli amp) programmable current source, and an I2C interface, which enables timers and currents to be easily programmed and data to be read back relative to system operation and safety controls. With 5 percent flash-current accuracy, the ADP1655 also improves flash brightness by allowing the camera to increase current to the LED without crossing safety thresholds that would trigger the phone to shut down.
The new driver additionally includes a high-side current source that allows the flash LED string to be connected to the camera's ground plane, eliminating the need to route the LEDs back to the IC. This allows designers to simplify printed-circuit board routing, which reduces circuit trace length and thermal dissipation and allows the camera to be designed using a more compact layout.

Offering a variety of critical approaches to late eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Gothic literature, this collection provides a transnational view of the emergence and flowering of the Gothic. The essays expand on now well-known approaches to the Gothic (such as those that concentrate exclusively on race, gender, or nation) by focusing on international issues: religious traditions, social reform, economic and financial pitfalls, manifest destiny and expansion, changing concepts of nationhood, and destabilizing moments of empire-building. By examining a wide array of Gothic texts, including novels, drama, and poetry, the contributors present the Gothic not as a peripheral, marginal genre, but as a central mode of literary exchange in an ever-expanding global context. Thus the traditional conventions of the Gothic, such as those associated with Ann Radcliffe and Monk Lewis, are read alongside unexpected Gothic formulations and lesser-known Gothic authors and texts. These include Mary Rowlandson and Bram Stoker, Frances and Anthony Trollope, Louisa May Alcott, Elizabeth Gaskell, Theodore Dreiser, Rudyard Kipling, and Lafcadio Hearn, as well as the actors Edmund Kean and George Frederick Cooke. Individually and collectively, the essays provide a much-needed perspective that eschews national borders in order to explore the central role that global (and particularly transatlantic) exchange played in the development of the Gothic. British, American, Continental, Caribbean, and Asian Gothic are represented in this collection, which seeks to deepen our understanding of the Gothic as not merely a national but a global aesthetic.
Contents: Introduction, Bridget M. Marshall and Monika Elbert; Part 1 Old World Gothic and the New World Frontier: A transnational perspective on American Gothic criticism, Siân Silyn Roberts; The transatlantic Gothic of Isaac Mitchell's Alonzo and Melissa as an early example of popular culture, Christian Knirsch; The old Gothic and the new: the Trollopes' wild West, Tamara Wagner; Frontier bloodlust in England: American captivity narratives and Stoker's Dracula, Roland Finger. Part 2 Gothic Catholicism: Demonizing the Catholic other: religion and the secularization process in Gothic literature, Diane Long Hoeveler; A woman with a cross: the transgressive, transnational nun in anti-Catholic fiction, Nancy F. Sweet; The paradox of Catholicism in New England women's Gothic, Monika Elbert. Part 3 Anglo-American Genre Exchanges: Beyond the Novel: The haunted transatlantic libertine: Edmund Kean's American tour, Melissa Wehler; Gothic prosody: monkish perversity and the poetics of weird form, Daniel Robinson; Transnational war Gothic from the American Civil War to World War I, Agnieszka Soltysik Monnet. Part 4 Social Anxieties and Hauntings: 'At rest now': child ghosts and social justice in 19th-century women's writing, Roxanne Harde; All this difficult darkness: lynching and the exorcism of the Black other in Theodore Dreiser's 'Nigger Jeff', Keith B.

Chris Bosh got married to Adrienne Williams over the weekend. Or really, double married, considering he is probably already married, but just won't admit it. Nonetheless, the big blowout reception was this past weekend, held at Miami's opulent Fontainebleau Hotel. Judging by that first dance pic — to the very original "Wonderful Tonight" by Eric Clapton, though "Crying" by Aerosmith seems a bit more appropriate — everyone had a great time.
Some pretty chill guests were there too.
Sup guys. Nice hairscut for Udonis Haslem. Lighten up though, because you look good bb!
Pat Riley was also there, gettin' his smile on with Serena Williams. I don't want to start any rumors, but a source in the Heat organization tells us that Serena might be brought in to play point. Keep that on the DL for now, because we wouldn't want them getting fined during the lockout.
Speaking of the Heat organization, Erik Spoelstra was there, smiling as usual. Alonzo Mourning showed up too, doing some viral marketing for the DVD release of "Adjustment Bureau."
Scottie Pippen was also there, for some reason.
And he was chillin' with Jean Reno for some other reason.
But it looks like a beautiful affair, right on down to the cake, which looks a lot like my own wedding cake. Very happy for Chris and Adrienne to be able to celebrate their secret marriage in public. Lots of love, you guys.

Three-quarters of the nation's 335,000 churches are virtually or completely mortgage-free. But for many of those in the minority carrying a loan on their property, what were already tight times—due to decreased giving from financially stretched churchgoers—are quickly becoming tough times.
A recent report by First American CoreLogic discovered that hundreds of churches are facing foreclosure, almost all of which were affected by the mortgage boom in recent years that saw church-issued mortgages increase 50 percent from 2002 to 2005. According to the U.S. Census, spending on church construction rose from $3.8 billion in 1997 to $6.2 billion in 2007. A separate study found that church borrowing as a whole peaked at $28 billion nationwide in 2006, including mortgages, construction loans and church bonds.
"There have been too many churches with a 'build it and they will come' attitude," says N. Michael Tangen, executive vice president at American Investors Group, a church lender in Minnetonka, Minn. "They had glory in their eyes that wasn't backed up with adequate business plans and cash flow."
Those loaning churches money can attest to the bubble bursting. In its 45-year history, the Evangelical Christian Credit Union in Brea, Calif., had foreclosed on only two churches. This year it has served foreclosure papers to seven of its 2,000 members, and its president says the company expects to add to that number in the coming months. Another church lender, Church Mortgage & Loan Corp. of Maitland, Fla., has already foreclosed on 10 church properties in the past two years and, as a result, had to file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in March.
"Some of the mentality that you saw taking hold of the residential marketplace probably shifted into the church," says Dan Mikes, executive vice president of the church banking division of Bank of the West. "Lenders loaned far too much, they loaned into lofty projections of future growth, and they just saddled the churches with far too much debt." [wsj.com, 12/23/08; nytimes.com, 12/26/08]
Last week the Ministry Report highlighted a New York Times article stating that the current economic downturn was resulting in a nationwide church growth trend. But pollsters from Gallup say not so fast.
According to a massive review of almost 300,000 Gallup interviews in 2008, the bad economic times aren't affecting church attendance in the slightest bit. Data from the fall months—including part of December—shows that 42 percent of Americans attend church weekly or almost weekly, which is exactly the same percentage as last year (and, coincidentally, 1 percent lower than early 2008).
"It is … possible that certain specific churches or even types of churches (such as the evangelical churches featured in the New York Times article) have seen an increase in attendance," says Gallup's Frank Newport, "but that on a percentage basis, these represent such a tiny part of the universe of all churches that this increase is not reflected in broad, national church attendance percentages. … If there has been some alteration in church attendance caused by the economic bad times, it does not appear to have been of sufficient magnitude or scope to have altered ongoing church attendance patterns in the overall U.S. population." [gallup.com, 12/17/08]
If on some Sundays it seems like you're preaching to a congregation of atheists and agnostics, this may explain some things: A recent Harris Interactive poll found more Americans believe in ghosts than in the inerrancy of God's Word. Although a minority of American adults believes in ghosts (44 percent), UFOs (36 percent) and reincarnation (24 percent), only 37 percent believe that all the books of the Bible are indeed the Word of God. On the other hand, an overwhelming 71 percent of Americans believe in angels. And among the general population, only 40 percent of people believe in creationism, compared to the 47 percent that believes in Darwin's theory of evolution. [harrisinteractive.com, 12/10/08]
Ukraine's most prominent charismatic pastor, Sunday Adelaja, is at the center of controversy over his alleged involvement in a business venture that some claim bilked investors out of $100 million.
Adelaja, pastor of Embassy of the Blessed Kingdom of God for All Nations in Kiev, was accused in November of being involved in the dealings of King's Capital, a financial group led by a member of his congregation. The company drew many of its investors from the church, also known as God's Embassy, promising as much as 60 percent returns on investments.
But last month, several church members went to authorities saying they were unable to recover the money they invested, which left many of them bankrupt. Police later arrested one of King's Capital leaders, Aleksandr Bandurchenko, on suspicion of fraud.
Speculation about Adelaja's involvement with King's Capital grew after reports surfaced that he was part of a bank in Nigeria known as GS Microfinance Bank Limited. Some speculated that Adelaja, a native of Nigeria, invested funds from King's Capital in the African bank and planned to leave the country.
Adelaja, however, said those accusations are unfounded. He said he has never been involved with King's Capital but denied that it is a Ponzi scheme, which uses later investments to pay dividends to earlier investors.
Adelaja said King's Capital is a legitimate business that failed under the pressure of the global financial crisis. He said because the company poured most of the investment capital into real estate, which has decreased in value, it has been unable to pay investors."When the [economic] crisis came, all the real estate is no more selling," Adelaja told Charisma. "The land is enough to pay back the money owed. … The problem is … everything is stopped in the country—nothing is selling now in Ukraine."
Adelaja said Interior Affairs Minister Yurii Lutsenko accused the church of involvement because he wants to undermine the evangelical movement in Ukraine. With several thousand members across the nation, God's Embassy is one of the most influential congregations in Ukraine.
"[Lutsenko] is in a very bad situation," Adelaja said. "He's got to prove now that [King's Capital] is a pyramid scheme, but he cannot."
Adelaja said he never encouraged his church members to invest in the company and cautioned them to invest in businesses that offer insurance. "Of course … if you invest with insurance you get less percentage," he said. "What happened was many people said they didn't need insurance because the [King's Capital leaders] were Christians."
He acknowledged being affiliated with GS Microfinance, but said he invested his name and influence in the bank, not millions of dollars. He said GS Microfinance was formed to give small loans to poor Nigerians as a way of lifting them out of poverty. "It's not about what you can get, but the vision of the program [is] to elevate and get as many people out of poverty as possible," Adelaja said. "That is one of my lifetime passions … because I grew up in poverty."
Although Adelaja has repeatedly denied any involvement in King's Capital, which has not officially been deemed a fraudulent business, Pentecostal and charismatic leaders across Ukraine are calling on him to repent, saying they heard him encourage church members to invest in the company on several occasions.
"He was not a president of this company, but he was the No. 1 spiritual leader, and he told them what they have to do," said Bishop M. S.Panochko, leader of the All-Ukrainian Union of Pentecostal Churches of Evangelical Faith, which is comprised of 1,500 churches across the nation. "He can do everything to tell them [he is] not involved, but all [the] leaders have a lot of facts, and we have a lot of video of when he was pushing people, and he encouraged people to invest in this business.
"Panochko was one of 10 leaders who met with Adelaja on Tuesday to confront him about his alleged support of King's Capital and the negative impact some of his actions have had on the evangelical church in Ukraine.
The Pentecostal bishops, who together represent more than 2,500 congregations, listed seven items of concern and said Adelaja has a pattern of making exaggerated statements. They pointed particularly to his alleged claim that he led the 2004 Orange Revolution—when Ukrainian voters protested a presidential election many considered fraudulent—and his reports that God's Embassy has 100,000 members across the nation. The bishops say those and other statements are untrue.
After the meeting, Adelaja issued a statement saying he did not organize the Orange Revolution, though his congregation participated in the demonstrations. He also asked forgiveness for the negative impact the King's Capital scandal has had on Ukrainian churches, but he added that he did not personally have any involvement in the company.
Despite the statement, Panochko said the bishops would continue waiting for Adelaja to apologize for allegedly endorsing King's Capital. If he does not repent, Panochko said the bishops would issue a statement to Christians in Ukraine and abroad, and to the Ukrainian government, denouncing Adelaja and claiming no affiliation with him.
Moscow-based pastor Rick Renner, founder of the Good News Association of Churches and Ministries for Russia, Latvia and Ukraine, said Adelaja's claims are hurting Christians in the former Soviet Union. He said reports about God's Embassy's involvement in the Orange Revolution have led some governments to crack down on churches out of fear that Christians are political revolutionaries.
"Pastors and Christian leaders are now trying to maneuver through new restrictive laws that have been passed because of Sunday's claim that he and his church organized the Orange Revolution," Renner said. "He owes the body of Christ an apology, first for lying about the fact that he organized it and carried it out, and second, for creating this very difficult environment for which others are now paying a very high price."
Renner and other Pentecostal leaders say they have long been concerned about Adelaja's claims that God's Embassy has 100,000 members across Ukraine when they believe the church has closer to 10,000 members nationwide. But Renner said the King's Capital controversy provoked him to speak out.
"Thousands of people have been saved and filled with the Holy Spirit, and many lives have been changed [through God's Embassy]," Renner said. "There was never a need for him to exaggerate on such a massive scale as he has been doing in recent years. … I have never wanted to call Sunday a liar, so most often I tried to ignore the subject of Sunday's falsehoods when I heard them. Now in light of the lies being told by Sunday, denying that he ever recommended that his people invest in this company, I was taken to a new place of prayer and concern. It was in the midst of this that the Lord impressed me to speak out."
During a recent sermon, Renner told his congregation that the members of God's Embassy should leave the church if Adelaja doesn't repent.
"They are not obligated by God to sit up under deception," Renner said. " … It's not the position of a pastor to say to his people, 'Sell everything you have and put all your money in this particular company,' especially if that pastor has an interest in that company. That is a very impure recommendation."
The challenge provoked a firestorm of response, pitting Christians on either side of the debate. Dmitry Kirichenko, pastor of World Harvest Church in Kiev and director of Brightstar Publishing House, issued an open letter expressing his support of Adelaja.
Kirichenko said there are no facts proving Adelaja's involvement in the establishment and operation of King's Capital. "The Ministry of Internal Affairs … currently is investigating the case, but even this administration has so far not presented any formal charges against Pastor Sunday," he wrote.
However, Sergei Shidlovsky leader of the Seeking God movement and a former member of God's Embassy, said he attended many meetings during which Adelaja called on people to invest in King's Capital and "laughed over those who have not yet done that."
"I personally sat in the room when he explained to everyone how important it is to take the credit out of the house or apartment and invest precisely in this company," said Shidlovsky, who invested 1,000 Euros himself and encouraged his mother to sell her apartment in Belarus and invest the profit. "I became a contributor of King's Capital only by trust in Sunday Adelaja and his calls to invest in this company."
Adelaja said Shidlovsky's claims are "absolutely not true." He said he invited a church member to discuss investing as part of ongoing teaching on financial stewardship. He said the financial talk was not about King's Capital but may have been misinterpreted.
Alex Mykhaylyk, dean of History Makers Bible School, a Philadelphia-based ministry affiliated with God's Embassy, said those attacking Adelaja are looking for someone to blame for the collapse of King's Capital and Ukraine's economic woes. "Sunday never told people to invest in this," Mykhaylyk said. "He told them basic principles of business and investment. I know my pastor too well. He will give away everything and not take anything from anybody. The biggest problem is that the church is divided in opinions." [charismamag.com, 12/19/08]
QUOTE: "You don't have to see eye to eye to walk hand in hand. … Three years ago I took enormous heat for inviting Barack Obama to my church because some of his views don't agree [with mine]. Now he's invited me." —Saddleback Church's Rick Warren, on accepting an invitation to deliver the invocation at the president-elect's inauguration ceremony. Not surprisingly, Warren has been derided by gay-rights activists for his opposition to same-sex marriages, and most major news outlets have been quick to point out his recent comments in a BeliefNet interview in which the pastor compared the "redefinition of marriage" to include gay marriage to legitimizing incest, child abuse and polygamy. Even those who agree with Warren's stance on same-sex marriages have questioned his acceptance to speak at the ceremony. Troy Newman, president of the pro-life group Operation Rescue, says the move is "tantamount to placing [Warren's] stamp of approval on Obama and his policies that stand in direct opposition to biblical truths." In response to his critics, Warren stated: "Hopefully, individuals passionately expressing opinions from the left and the right will recognize that both [President-elect Barack Obama and I] have shown a commitment to model civility in America. … I am honored by this opportunity to pray God's blessing on the office of the president and its current and future inhabitant, asking the Lord to provide wisdom to America's leaders during this critical time in our nation's history." [latimes.com, 12/18/08; charismamag.com, 12/19/08; AP, 12/21/08]
Along with becoming more diverse, churches across the nation are also becoming "more informal and more enthusiastic by every measure," according to the study's lead researcher, Mark Chaves of Duke University School of Divinity. Almost 60 percent of churchgoers raise their hands during worship, compared to 45 percent in 1998. And the well-worn topic of using drums in church? More than one-third of all houses of worship—including synagogues and mosques—now incorporate drums as part of worship, which represents a 70 percent increase in the last decade.
Of particular interest to pastors, the study also found that both clergy and their congregations are aging. The average church leader in 1998 was 48 years old; the average age is now 53. Equally as significant, one in three churchgoers is older than 60, compared to one in four 10 years ago.
"The two-parent family with kids is still the main basis of American religious congregational life, but that kind of household is somewhat less common than it used to be," Chaves says. "And each generation, as it reaches that stage of life, seems to be joining or returning to (a religious congregation) at a slightly lower rate than the one before it." [usatoday.com, 12/21/08]

text: HANCOCK SELECTBOARD MINUTES January 2, 2012 PRESENT: Roberta LaPlante-Chair, Carolyn Boland, John Jordan – Selectboard Barbara Caverly –Town Administrator/Recording Secretary OTHERS: Nahida Sherman-Webmaster, Kurtis Grassett-DPW Director LaPlante called the meeting to order at 4:00 p.m. Jordan moved to accept the Minutes of December 12th and 19th with one correction to the Minutes of the 12th. In the liaison report pertaining to the gymnasium, it should have read the School Board wants more square footage than necessary. Boland seconded the motion with the correction; unanimously approved. LIAISON REPORTS: Model Study Committee: Jordan reported a presentation will be held in town to support Model 5. The Articles of Agreement does not say the district "has to" have two middle schools but, rather, "may" have two. The Selectboard agrees the towns should bring the fifth grades back to the individual towns. Dump: Jordan reported the committee discussed the modifications to the ordinance to be presented at a public hearing. Recreation: LaPlante reported the Recreation Committee did meet but she was unable to be present. Selectboard meetings: Caverly asked for confirmation on two holiday meeting dates: January 16th and February 20th. The Board determined they will hold their regular meetings, as scheduled, although the offices will be closed. NAHIDA SHERMAN: Sherman was in on two separate issues. The first one pertained to Hancock Happenings advertisers. She would like to add all Happenings advertisers to the website, including those from out of town. She will add them to the advertiser's page. She stated she makes a new page each month. Sherman's second issue was that of the Antrim Wind Farm, referencing the previous Minutes of December 5, 2011. She stated there are two properties in Hancock that are within the 3-mile radius. She felt Hancock might want to be a "consulting party" although the Board previously sent notice to Antrim that they didn't feel Hancock was impacted. Sherman showed the Selectboard some maps with the one- mile, two-mile and 3-mile radii marked Sherman's main concern was that nothing official was presented to the town and is concerned for the Selectboard. LaPlante stated she had received an email from Marc DeBanico of the Hancock Conservation Commission. The Commission will be meeting on January 3rd and Brian Biehl will be present. Biehl is connected with the Antrim Wind Farm project. LaPlante feels the Conservation Commission may take a position after hearing Biehl's presentation. LaPlante stated she is willing to have the Conservation Commission represent the town on the issue Sherman was surprised the Harris Center was listed as an intervener in the material received by the Hancock Selectboard. The Selectboard questioned if there is anything historical or archeological in Hancock's portion of the area. The project could, potentially, affect property values within the 3-mile radius. The northwest corner of Hancock is within the two-mile radius. The Selectboard agreed to have the Conservation Commission investigate the issue. HIGHWAY REPORT: Grassett told the Selectboard he will be in and out a lot this week with personal issues. Warrant articles under Grassett's department were then discussed. SELECTBOARD MINUTES JANUARY 2, 2012 PAGE TWO Compactor: Grassett reported they discussed increasing the size but determined it wouldn't be any significant savings so they are staying with the current 2-yard one. He is waiting for all the estimates to come in. Grassett has determined a lease-purchase would not be a financial asset. BANDSTAND: The cost to repair the Bandstand will be $20,000 minus $10,000 to come from the HIA (Hancock Improvement Association) and monies from a fund raiser to be held by the Common Commissioners. There is also the possibility of approximately $2,000 to come from the Common trust fund if the Selectboard and the Common Commissioners agree to that. Boland stated she doesn't feel comfortable taking all of the balance in that fund out. The amount to be used will be decided at a later date, prior to town meeting. STEEPLE: Grassett presented figures on the repair of the steeple, including t he bell tower and the clock. The bell tower will cost $32,640 to be split 50/50 with the church giving each a $16,320 share. The clock total is $8,400 to be borne totally by the town. The total town share would be $24,720. There is slightly over $15,000 in the capital reserve fund at this time. To complete the project the town will need just over $10,000. The Selectboard would like to leave some funds in the capital reserve fund which would mean raising more in 2012. Jordan suggested using some of the unexpended fund balance to complete the project. LaPlante stated she feels the issues need to be addressed as they come up rather than waiting for a major breakdown. Grassett and the Selectboard then discussed all the repairs needed around the belfry. Grassett questioned whether the railings around the outside of the belfry could be replicated in fiberglass. He knows this has been done in other locations successfully. It was agreed they would need to determine if that would impact the town's ability to obtain grants for the Meetinghouse in the future. Bridge Capital Reserve: Grassett stated he is still working on a whole bridge program. Currently, the plan is to put $5,000 per year into the capital reserve fund. Grassett stated the bridge on Old Dublin Road and Longview are two projects. Old Dublin Road needs something other than a total replacement and he is doing some research on that. Longview Road Bridge should be the next one to be replaced as that is a more important bridge. Grassett will be working out the details to determine what amount will be needed in the capital reserve. He stated possibly doing Old Dublin on our own because otherwise, it would have to wait until around 2016. There is not a weight limit on that bridge at the present time. The Board wants to leave the $5000 in the Capital Improvements Plan at this time. Grassett stated he will notify the state that the Mill Road Bridge is now off the state bridge list. Class A Trails: Grassett stated there needs to be a discussion with the Conservation Commission regarding who will be maintaining all the trails being adopted by the Town. It needs to be determined whether it will be with the Conservation Commission or with Grassett's department. LaPlante stated she will ask the Conservation Commission to schedule a time when they meet in February. Transfer station: Grassett reported Cassidy would like to be replaced at the Transfer Station. He would be willing to come in on occasion. Grassett is thinking about a high school student aged 16 or older. He would like to go through the Conval Guidance office and/or place posters up at the Transfer Station. Grassett noted the new employee, Lenny Emond, seems to be working out well. Grassett stated he is setting aside time on Monday mornings for him, Jeff Wright (highway foreman) and Lenny to lay out the week's work schedule. SELECTBOARD MINUTES JANUARY 2, 2012 PAGE THREE Street Lights: Grassett reported on PSNH's notice to the towns that they have a plan to change all the light bulbs every six years. This coming year they will be around doing these changes. There is an option now available to have a photo timer installed when the bulbs are changed. This would be at minimal or no cost to the town if done now and would mean the selected street lights would turn off at midnight. Grassett inquired whether the Selectboard is interested in pursuing. Grassett will consult with Police Chief Wood and Fire Chief Nevan Cassidy for their input. However, Grassett did state he would not consider changing the street lights in the area of the Hancock Market and the Hancock Inn. Grassett will bring answers back to a future Selectboard meeting. LAKE NUBANUSIT LANDING: The Selectboard received a letter of concern regarding their decision to not pursue having the state Fish and Game take over the public landing at Lake Nubanusit at this time. The Board determined they will look into the topic further to confirm some past understandings of what would be involved if the state did take it over. POLICE: LaPlante updated the Selectboard on her recent discussions with Chief Wood. She has asked him for a full breakdown on the cost of the cruiser as well as the replacement equipment planned. The Selectboard agreed the part time budget is to remain at $17,000. Wood needs to give justification for secretarial hours proposed in his budget. The Selectboard wants to have Wood come in either weekly or monthly to give updates on the selling of his property and any other pending items. Caverly will discuss with Wood and place him on the schedule. ADJOURNED: The meeting was adjourned at 5:25 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Barbara Caverly Recording Secretary

It's taking forever! That's what's going on with it, BAH! lol. I apologize for the creeping progression with the game, these last two weeks have made it rather difficult to find time to work on it. This weekend is going to be another one of those, filled with errands that occupy most of my free time and a few social activities in between.
I will try to have something progressive to show off for next weekend, but for now all I leave you with is this.
Bruno... fun movie to watch with friends.
<3 Ken.

Transformation and cancer growth are regulated by the coordinate actions of oncogenes and tumor suppressors. Here, we show that the novel E3 ubiquitin ligase HACE1 is frequently downregulated in human tumors and maps to a region of chromosome 6q21 implicated in multiple human cancers. Genetic inactivation of HACE1 in mice results in the development of spontaneous, late-onset cancer. A second hit from either environmental triggers or genetic heterozygosity of another tumor suppressor, p53, markedly increased tumor incidence in a Hace1-deficient background. Re-expression of HACE1 in human tumor cells directly abrogates in vitro and in vivo tumor growth, whereas downregulation of HACE1 via siRNA allows non-tumorigenic human cells to form tumors in vivo. Mechanistically, the tumor-suppressor function of HACE1 is dependent on its E3 ligase activity and HACE1 controls adhesion-dependent growth and cell cycle progression during cell stress through degradation of cyclin D1. Thus, HACE1 is a candidate chromosome 6q21 tumor-suppressor gene involved in multiple cancers.

American Standard Version (ASV) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 This is now, beloved, the second epistle that I write unto you; and in both of them I stir up your sincere mind by putting you in remembrance; | 1 Dear friends, this is now my second letter to you. I have written both of them as reminders to stimulate you to wholesome thinking. |
2 that ye should remember the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and the commandments of the Lord and Saviour through your apostles: | 2 I want you to recall the words spoken in the past by the holy prophets and the command given by our Lord and Savior through your apostles. |
3 knowing this first, that in the last days mockers shall come with mockery, walking after their own lusts, | 3 First of all, you must understand that in the last days scoffers will come, scoffing and following their own evil desires. |
4 and saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for, from the day that the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation. | 4 They will say, "Where is this 'coming' he promised? Ever since our fathers died, everything goes on as it has since the beginning of creation." |
5 For this they willfully forget, that there were heavens from of old, and an earth compacted out of water and amidst water, by the word of God; | 5 But they deliberately forget that long ago by God's word the heavens existed and the earth was formed out of water and by water. |
6 by which means the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished: | 6 By these waters also the world of that time was deluged and destroyed. |
