Community Sanitation Overview:
Voznesenka is situated on a high bluff overlooking the upper end of Kachemak Bay. Russian Old Believers from Nikolaevsk, which is about 20 miles away, started the community in 1985. Since the community is unincorporated, Voznesenka Community Council, Inc. (VCCI) is a non-profit corporation that was established in 2000 to engage in various civic functions for improving the health and welfare of the residents of the community. One such function was to enter into grant agreements for capital projects to improve sanitation in the community. Prior to 2006, Voznesenka was partially served by private wells and a Class A surface water system that was constructed around 1990 by community members. The community built system did not meet drinking water standards and as a result, the system was under a boil water notice by ADEC for many years until the system was upgraded. From 2006 to 2009, the water system was upgraded by Village Safe Water (VSW) to meet drinking water regulations and to serve about 60 residences, school, and church . Currently, the new water system uses groundwater from two wells as a water source. This water is treated to remove iron, manganese, and arsenic using mixed oxidants (MIOX) and GreensandPlusTM, which is a manganese dioxide coated media that acts as a catalyst in the oxidation reduction reaction of iron and manganese. All residences on the water system have individual onsite wastewater systems and many of them are substandard and are failing or have failed. Dependent on continued funding from VSW, the plan is to inventory, assess, and evaluate these onsite systems and associated site conditions starting in the spring of 2010. After that, new onsite systems will be designed and then installed over an 18 month period.
RUBA Status & Activities This Qtr:

"If Dana White wants to (hang out with McGregor) it's cool," Holloway told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.coom). "I got a family, and I'd rather be chilling with my family then being on a superstar tour with Dana White. After this fight all I want is to get on a plane, come back home, and hopefully have $50,000 more in my bank account."
Holloway isn't blind to the promotional push McGregor is getting ahead of his second UFC fight, which takes place Saturday at Boston's TD Garden. Their bout is one of many airing on FOX Sports 1 as part of the new channel's debut day of programming.
From his appearance in White's popular video blogs to getting a personal media day ahead of the event, most fighters would be envious of the position "The Notorious" currently finds himself in.
Not Holloway, though. He understands McGregor is the UFC's key when it comes to international expansion in Ireland, and they must market him as such. However, once the cage door closes, where McGregor is from is irrelevant, and it'll all come down to who is the better man with the superior skill set, Holloway said.
Holloway believes he is that man, and while McGregor is doing the right things outside the octagon to become a big name in the sport, the Hawaiian knows he will do the right things inside of it in order to take some of the spotlight for himself.
"He's like the first guy from Ireland and UFC he's the first big name, big star, and UFC needs an Ireland guy," Holloway said. "If they didn't have B.J. Penn, I think they'd be putting more hype into Hawaii fighters, but they already had a Hawaiian star, and he's the first Ireland star so, it is what it is.
"Not that I hate on his shine, you know? I just like to fight. I love to fight, and we're going to see what this hype is about on Aug. 17 when those doors close on the cage. I'm going to earn my respect. I'd rather earn my stripes. I'd rather put my time in, earn my stripes rather than have someone say, 'Here, here's your stripes going in.'"
McGregor not only has high expectations from fans, but it appears he also has big plans for his own career as he has discussed future matchups with the likes of 145-pound contender Cub Swanson and divisional kingpin Jose Aldo.
Those are some grand aspirations, and while Holloway knows his opponent is focused on the upcoming fight, he feels slightly disrespected and plans on making the Irishman take an unwelcomed detour on his road to the top.
"[He's underestimating me] for sure," Holloway said. "He might just be playing it cool. I think he gets ready for all his fights, and he's ready for all his fights. I don't think he takes anyone lightly. But, I don't know what's going through his mind; he's calling out Cub Swanson and a bunch of top 5 fighters. He wants to fight Aldo for the belt real fast.
"My job is to go in there and stop that from happening. If I get a victory in there and I finish him, it's going to be that much sweeter."
So how exactly does he envision the fight playing out? On the feet, of course.
Despite his youth, Holloway is one of the best strikers in the featherweight division, a statement proven true by his stat sheet. Through five career UFC fights, Holloway is tops in 145-pound history (and second overall in UFC history) when it comes to strikes landed on his opponent per minute. He is tied for the most knockdowns in featherweight history, has the third best striking defense in the weight class, and has connected with the second most significant strikes in the division's existence.
"Blessed" loves to keep his fights standing, and in his opinion, this one will be no different, especially considering McGregor has earned 12 of his 13 professional wins by way of knockout.
"Whenever someone hears that Max Holloway is fighting, they can get ready to watch a stand up fight," he said. "I love to keep it on the feet, and as long as you want to stand up, I'd love to stand up with him. I just don't know he might go in there and shoot on me or whatever, but I love to keep it on my feet. My game plan ain't no secret."
After falling just short of victory against Dennis Bermudez at May's UFC 160 event in a fight many believed he won, Holloway is highly motivated to take the crown of most hyped featherweight prospect from McGregor's head and put it on his own.
And not only does Holloway plan on doing that Saturday night, but he intends on doing it in a fashion worthy of one of the UFC's lucrative fight-night bonuses.
"True champions, they come back (from losses) stronger than ever, and I can't wait to fight this fight," Holloway said. "One of us is walking out with a bonus added to our list, and I just can't wait to get in the cage and fight this guy."

PANAMA CITY— An emotion-packed ceremony promoting a new license plate for Vietnam veterans reached a crescendo Friday when a local man was presented with the area's first tag.
Fighting back tears, state Rep. Jimmy Patronis, R-Panama City, handedthe plate to Bob Hughes, a Panama City lawyer and Vietnam veteran. The moment brought applause from the more than 100 gathered inside the Bay County Commission chambers, and then a jocular voiced called out: "Jimmy, be sure he pays for that."
Last year, Hughes alerted Patronisto the fact that no specialty military license plate was available to Vietnam veterans, identifying their service. The representative looked into it and found that was the case.
"Every conflict was there, except for Vietnam. What an oversight on behalf of the citizen-led Florida Legislature," Patronis said.
The lawmaker acted quickly, passing legislation last year, and the plates, to little fanfare, became available in October.
Patronis said Hughes had called him two weeks ago, asking about the plate, but Patronis had forgotten about the legislation.
"And then the light goes off in my head — maybe nobody else remembers this law had passed either, and really none had," Patronissaid.
So, Friday's event was part promotion, part thank you, part American Legion-style gathering, with scores of veterans wearing navy-colored hats with gold letters.
But the sting of decades-old disrespect didn't go unmentioned.

When Hughes spoke, he recalled coming back in the summer of 1970 and being stationed at Atlanta's Fort McPherson. He said Friday's ceremony was a "long way" from how he was treated then.
"I went downtown to meet one of my friends for lunch, and I was wearing my uniform walking down Peachtree [Street] and people got off the sidewalk to get away from that uniform," he said.
But that period may have been necessary so Americans could realize soldiers should be supported regardless of how people feel about the war, Hughes said.
"They can detest, or they can be dissatisfied with, the war or the commitment to which the troops are put, but they can never again — and won't again — treat the troops like some of us got treated back in those days," he said to applause.
Hughes also cracked jokes about the day's heavy rain.
"I was talking to a couple guys when I came in that it's appropriate that the monsoon's going on out there," he said. "I also mentioned the fact that I was holding an umbrella, and I didn't have one of those [in Vietnam], and I know y'all didn't either."
And the veteran acknowledged his wife, getting choked up about how war's impact extends beyond the soldier.
"The families suffered, too, and they sacrificed, and the honor goes to them, too," Hughes said, his voice breaking.
Afterward, Vietnam veterans like Nick Nicastro, 70, were eager to get their new tags. They flooded the front podium where forms had been set out to get the plates. The Springfield resident said he planned to get three, one for each of his vehicles. He said the tag was long overdue.
"It's just about pride. We see these other tags, and I always said, 'Maybe we should have something like that," said the Air Force veteran who served two tours in Vietnam.
"It's just a long time coming," he said.
Patronis and Hughes said there is no extra fee for the tag.
After the event, Patronis said he was thrilled about the turnout. He also said the tag comes at an appropriate time — near the 40th anniversary of the war's formal end, when the Paris Peace Accords were signed.
"The story's about them, not me," he said. "I got my satisfaction out of just being here."

Opposition to new science standards in South Dakota?
A South Dakota state senator dislikes a proposed new set of state science standards, according to the Sioux Falls Argus Leader (November 18, 2014). At a November 17, 2014, public hearing — the second of four — on the standards, Phil Jensen (R-District 33) expressed concern about the treatment of evolution and climate change.
Further progress in Texas
"McGraw-Hill, the second-largest educational publisher in the world, has removed key passages from a proposed Texas textbook that cast doubt on climate science," reports the National Journal (November 17, 2014).

Stories from people who were children during World War II and the objects in this exhibit animate the past and inform us of a time when war took over daily life. "Retrospect is a very interesting thing," says Ruthie Kallnder. "At the time I don't recall any of the information we got as being propaganda," but the government tried to influence children to make "necessary" sacrifices. Propagandists made the war a battle between good and evil, democracy and fascism. They also asked children to share in the war effort. In response, many children took on more responsibilities. Ruthie explains that boys and girls felt "if that's what it was going to take" to win they "were willing to do it." The memories of the people in this exhibit and their wartime actions show the power of propaganda's messages and its lasting affect on their lives. Propaganda posters, children's books, and classroom assignments demonstrate how propagandists reached children and involved them in the national war effort.

The grass-warblers are small passerine birds belonging to the genus Locustella. Formerly placed in the paraphyletic "Old World warbler" assemblage, they are now considered the northernmost representatives of a largely Gondwanan family, the Megaluridae.
These are rather drab brownish "warblers" usually associated with fairly open grassland, shrubs or marshes. Some are streaked, others plain, all are difficult to view. They are insectivorous.
The most characteristic feature of this group is that the song of several species is a mechanical insect-like reeling which gives rise to the group's scientific name.
Species breeding in temperate regions are strongly migratory.
The nine species are:
A fossil acrocoracoid from the Late Miocene (about 11 mya) of Rudabánya (NE Hungary) is quite similar to this bone in the present genus (Bernor et al. 2002). Given its rather early age (most Passerida genera are not known until the Pliocene), it is not too certain that it is correctly placed here, but it is highly likely to belong to the Megaluridae at the least. As the grass-warblers are the only known megalurid warblers from Europe, it is still quite likely that the bone piece belongs to a basal Locustella.

On Friday, news broke that CNET had been forced by its parent company CBS to remove the Dish Network's Hopper set-top box from its "Best of CES" awards due to ongoing litigation between the two companies. CBS has been battling the Dish Network in court over the Hopper's ability to skip past commercials automatically (NBC, ABC, and Fox are also taking action).
CBS Interactive representatives told The Verge that the Hopper with Sling had been "withdrawn from consideration" from the "Best of CES" awards due to CBS's lawsuit with Dish; that the ban on coverage is limited only to specific products implicated in ongoing litigation with CNET's parent company; and that the ban only applied to product reviews and that news coverage would be exempt. That policy appears to have been hastily put in place. Prior to the move Friday, CNET had reviewed the Hopper and written extensively about the device.
But the problems may go deeper than that. The Verge has now learned that the facts of the case are somewhat different than the story CNET and CBS had previously shared with the public. According to sources familiar with the matter, the Hopper was not simply an entrant in the Best of CES awards for the site: it was actually chosen as the winner of the "Best of Show" award (as voted by CNET's editorial staff).
I searched the forums and the front page for the word hopper and didn't find this story. I've heard Leo talk about it on This week in tech 2 weeks in a row, so I thought I would post it here.

The House and Senate finally passed the FY 2013 Continuing Resolution which incorporated most of the sequester cuts ordered on March 1.
Only a few programs were amended to restore some of their original funding with a large majority of the across-the-board reductions being maintained. As detailed in my previous post, funding decreases to the National Endowment for the Arts remain at $7 million shaved off the $146 million annual budget.
The funding measure officially closes the books on the last fiscal year as Congress advanced separate budget resolutions for FY 2014. These resolutions are non-binding and do not require the signature of the president to pass, but they do provide instructions that will guide the appropriations process and inform the upcoming tax debates. They are to be taken seriously as the bills represent each party's "vision" for fiscal policy.
The House version proposes deep cuts to discretionary spending, major changes to entitlements and tax reform that would dramatically lower marginal and corporate tax rates while balancing the budget in 10 years. Also, the House budget contains language for the third year in a row that takes aim at federal cultural funding: Read the rest of this entry »

FOR RESTAURANTS (and just about everything else), the past 12 months have been more challenging than any in decades. But here in Portland, 2009 might well be remembered as the greatest year yet for eating out.
Even as many high-profile eateries shuttered their doors, a new generation of foodie entrepreneurs showed us (along with the national and international press) that a memorable meal still can and should be savored in many places and ways: whether served in a boutique shopping district on candlelit, linen-topped tables or handed through a trailer window, wrapped in butcher paper snapped with a colorful rubber band.
Picking the 10 "best" restaurants from this rich stew seems somehow beside the point when menus change weekly—indeed, sometimes hourly—and food carts and sandwich shops casually compete (and even share chefs) with the city's most refined eateries. So we took a different path, selecting 10 venues that best embody the diverse creativity at work, from the traditional downtown dining establishment to the coveted strip-mall find to the humble parking-lot food cart. We also scoured the metropolitan region for great meals to be found for $20 or less. And we discovered an unexplored dimension of Portland's historic love for the Great Sandwich: an uncanny resemblance to Great Architecture. The result is a worthy sampling of eateries from a moment when, despite the toughest of economic droughts, Portland's dining scene boldly blossomed.

A GOVERNMENT appointed planning inspector has ruled that an ancient Lake District fell pass is out of bounds for motorised vehicles.
The decision by the Secretary of State to make Garburn Pass, between Troutbeck and Kentmere, a 'restricted byway' follows three years of legal argument.
It means that any motorist or motorcyclist using the pass is committing a criminal offence and could face serious legal consequences.
The inspector went through hundreds of pages of documents ranging from maps of 1822, guide books of the 1880s, and photographs of motorbikes using the pass in the 1920s.
The Lake District National Park Authority has also announced that thanks to around £55,000 of Government funding invested in repairs following the 2009 floods, the pass is probably in better condition than it has been for hundreds of years.
"The storms of November 2009 badly damaged both sides of the pass, especially the western side where the track effectively became a river, and most of the surface ended up on the main road," said National Park Countryside Access Adviser Nick Thorne.
"We were able to obtain significant funding under the Paths for the Public Project, funded by Defra, the Rural Development Programme for England, and Cumbria County Council. And we have now completely rebuilt the worst affected areas in three stages with the work being carried out by our own staff, the National Trust, and a local contractor."

Downton Abbey
Downton Abbey Season 4 Spoilers: What's Next For Branson and Rose?
On the Downton Abbey Season 3 finale, it was revealed that Rose, Violet's wild child great-niece, would be staying at Downton while her family went to India. According to TVLine, actress Lily James has been upgraded to series regular for Downton Season 4, so get used to seeing Rose around.
On that note, Entertainment Weekly had a Q&A with Downton exec Gareth Neame, who was coy about Season 4 spoilers, but answered a few questions.
Rose has a personality that's different from anyone else at Downton. Is that the point of her character?
"I think so. We're entering a more modern age, the post-war into the 1920s and all things that came from that, a slightly freer world and women having more freedom."
How much of the season will focus on Rose?
"Well, she's an established character now, so she's a part of the ensemble."
What's next for Branson?
"I mean obviously, he is in a similar situation [as Mary] really. We know he's a widow and he has a young child. Again, he has huge dilemmas to face."
Would Mary and Branson ever get together, now that Matthew is gone and Mary will be dating again?
"I read that."
Is that idea too out of left field?
"Who knows?"
This guy's a locked vault! We know Season 4 is jumping ahead six months, so Baby Sybil should be, what, around age 1.5? Which means it will also be that long since Sybil passed away. Some people may even speculate about Branson and Rose getting together. He has to move on from Sybil at some point, right? Or would that be too weird?

"We are deeply committed to supporting and defending our users' freedom of speech, but we do draw some limits," says the microblogging site.
The U.K.'s Royal College of Psychiatrists calls for pro-anorexia and pro-bulimia sites to be banned. But is this even feasible without specific governmental direction?

Hey guys, it's me Zach again. I have written a blog in awhile. But I want to thank everyone for reading the two blogs that I have posted. I've been really busy with school and life in general. Hetic life, but it hasn't kept me from watching wrestling. Especially Ring of Honor. I have been watching WWE and I want to commend them for giving us CM Punk vs. Daniel Bryan on PPV. It was a fantastic match
Hello readers and watchers of wrestling. My name again is Zachary Morales and I will be your humble host for this blog post. I want to thank everyone who read my first blog and if you haven't yet, I would suggest reading it. But if you don't, thats ok.

Over the last decade or more, several new therapies have emerged and subsequently been touted as restorative and/or curative for Parkinson's disease. In many cases, practitioners have offered a substantial fee for each treatment, and they have administered these treatments in an office or hospital setting – sometimes repeating the treatment 30 times or more. Touted therapies, which have fallen into this "curative" category include fee for stem cell infusions, fee for glutathione infusions, and, most recently, fee for chelation. Though there may be reasonable rationales for each of these therapies, scientific evidence is lacking, and chelation should only be administered under institutional review board-approved (IRB) protocols, and only for research purposes. Parkinson's disease patients should not be paying for chelators, and they should be warned of potential risks of therapy. Past What's Hot columns have focused on fee for stem cell and fee for glutathione therapies, and this month's column will address chelation therapies.
Chelation is the process where a chemical forms a connection or complex with a heavy metal, and thereby functionally inactivates it. The word chelate is derived from the Greek word meaning claw. One way to remember what a chelator does is to remember that it simply claws or grabs a circulating metal ion. Chelators can be used to detoxify heavy metals in the body, and are most commonly prescribed for lead, mercury or arsenic poisoning.
Common uses for chelators include root canal treatments and agents used in contrast materials for MRI scanning (gadolinium). Diseases such as hemochromatosis (iron overload) have been treated with the chelator defuroxamine. This particular chelator can be very effective in addressing the iron overload which is known to result in the disease state – however, there may also be potential side effects associated with the drug such as cardiovascular, pulmonary, auditory and ocular issues. Another common chelator that has been used is ethylenediamine tetra-acetic acid (EDTA). EDTA was previously thought to possibly prevent atherosclerotic artery hardening. The mechanism was theorized to act through removal of calcium deposits in blood vessel walls. EDTA therapy has however, been disproven for atherosclerosis. Similarly, EDTA has been turning up on websites and in doctor's offices as the touted cure for other diseases including Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease – despite a lack of scientific evidence or data from clinical trials. We do not recommend EDTA, or any other chelators for Parkinson's disease. For those patients who are determined to try EDTA, please remember that using disodium EDTA instead of calcium EDTA has resulted in reported deaths.
The idea of using a chelator for Parkinson's disease is not completely far-fetched. It is known that iron accumulates in the Parkinsonian brain, and iron seems to accumulate in important brain areas known to be part of the neurodegenerative process – including the substantia nigra. Additionally, there are a few animal experiments that have shown a protective effect of chelation against the development of Parkinson's disease. It has been hypothesized by many groups that oxidative stress may result in an iron imbalance, and this imbalance may in some way contribute to the brain degeneration seen in Parkinson's disease patients. However, it remains to be proven that removing iron from the brain of a Parkinson's disease patient will have any clinically beneficial or disease-modifying effects.
Patients should be wary of any practitioner offering a fee for chelation therapy to treat or to cure Parkinson's disease. If a practitioner offers to send your blood, urine or hair to an expert (for a fee) in order to demonstrate a link to your Parkinson's disease, we suggest that you consider declining this offer. Many of the practitioners touting chelation will send the specimens to their own unregulated mail away laboratories, and results will often reveal positive or impossible scenarios – such as elevations in multiple heavy metals (for example, lead, mercury and arsenic are all elevated which is a very unlikely scenario). If you are worried you have a heavy metal toxicity, you should see your neurologist for a comprehensive visit including an exposure history and examination. A good neurologist should be able to detect common heavy metal clinical manifestations, such as neuropathy or unique lines on the finger nails (e.g. Mees lines). Parkinsonian symptoms would represent an uncommon manifestation of heavy metal toxicity, except in the cases of Manganese exposure in miners and in welders. In manganese exposure, the MRI is usually abnormal (as opposed to the relatively normal MRI in Parkinson's disease, see previous What's Hot column). A neurologist can also send a urine sample to an approved and credible 24-hour laboratory to test for the presence of heavy metals.
In conclusion, patients should be wary of any clinic performing chelation therapy for Parkinson's disease. These clinics should only be performing chelation under an IRB-approved research protocol, and patients and insurance companies should not be charged for what would be defined as an experimental therapy. Further, patients should be informed that chelation therapy has many associated risks. The storybook may not be completely closed on chelation therapy for Parkinson's disease, however scientists and physicians must carry the burden of developing the direct link between iron deposition and neurodegeneration, and in proving that developing a drug that can cross the blood brain barrier and remove the iron will ultimately prove to be a viable and a meaningful treatment approach.

What you should do is toss out that machine before it give you any headaches. In all seriousness that ram was an attempt to bring a new standard to the table when DDR was introduced. It failed miserably for multiple reasons , most noticeably price and heat issues.
Invest in a new mobo/memory/cpu it would be cheaper than spending on new RAM-Bus memory.

It will either be Socket 423 (for early Pentium 4s), 478 (most common), or LGA 775 (newest). If it's an LGA 775, you will be able to upgrade the processor to a Core 2 Duo or Quad; however, judging by the fact that you have RDRAM, it's very likely that your motherboard has a Socket 423 or maybe 478, in which case, it's not worth upgrading the processor. Run CPU-Z to make sure.
How do I figure out which CPU is the last p4 proccessor that will work with this motherboard?

Is the production Corvette the ultimate example of performance or is it just a starting point? many Corvette lovers enjoy the level(s) of performance provided by the standard hardware and optional goodies that the Corvette Team has designed, engineered, and made available since the first C1s of the early '50s. But for a devoted number of Vette enthusiasts, what comes from The General is merely the starting point to transforming America's Only True Sports Car into The Optimum Driving Experience.
That direction started with a solid base. The '94 Vette marked the eleventh year in production for the C4 platform, and continuous upgrades had improved it a lot over the first C4s of 1984. For 1994, the base 300hp LT1 Corvette engine received an all-new sequential fuel-injection system, one that fired its injectors in time with the cylinders' firing order, which gave better throttle response, idle quality, overall drivability, and lower emissions than the previous EFI setup had. Also, Corvette's automatic transmission was now electronically controlled for better shift quality and rpm-shift consistency. If that wasn't enough, the cabin got its share of major updates, including standard leather seats, a passenger-side airbag, a new two-spoke steering wheel, and an HVAC system that used R-134a as its refrigerant instead of R-12 (Freon).
Speed Hound Performance is a shop in Social Circle, Georgia, (east of Atlanta) that specializes in high-performance upgrades to Corvettes and steel-bodied GM cars. One of the cars they've turned from a factory stocker into a track-day twisties-tamer is a Polo Green '94 Corvette coupe that they did for Larry Strunk. according to Speed Hound's Trey Hanson, Larry brought the car to Speed Hound to remedy its performance in another way. "He actually had a broken CD player, so he brought it to us and we did everything else," Trey says. Larry had purchased it a couple of months earlier, and it did indeed have a CD player that didn't work. Trey adds, "Larry had read an article about an LT4 conversion, and that's the reason he went in that direction."
But all that wasn't enough for Larry. With the help of Speed Hound, he started upgrading the green '94. Under the hood, the OEM heads and intake came off, replaced by an LT4 cylinder heads/intake combo from GM Performance Parts. The stock cam and lifters also were replaced by a TPiS ZZ9 camshaft/Comp Cams roller rockers-and-pushrods combo.
Other mods include an Accel ignition and plug wires set, as well as a prototype exhaust system by Random Technology (which Speed Hound is a dealer for) that uses Corsa mufflers out back.
Those updates boosted the modified LT1's output beyond the 300hp factory rating. However, seeing just how much further led to another series of modifications and updates. "What happened was the transmission blew up on the dyno," Trey says. "When we were dynoing it after we'd put it all back together, the transmission let loose, and it didn't want to deal with the engine anymore." Out came what was left of that gearbox, replaced by another electronic-overdrive automatic, this one modified by Neal Racing Converter in Snellville, Georgia, containing heavy-duty internals, as well as a TCI 2600 stall converter and an auxiliary transmission fluid cooler.
The chassis received its fair share of attention and strengthening thanks to a stout Doug Rippie Motorsports (DRM) five-point chassis brace located just behind the seats, which many people confuse for a rollcage. A set of lowering springs, Bilstein shocks, and polyurethane bushings all went in the '94, as did 13-inch front disc brake rotors from the '96 Corvette Grand Sport and a set of Z-rated Performance Friction brake pads.

I used every last bit of my red/blue/grey fabrics and lots of scraps. It's always a little satisfying to completely use up my fabrics…it means they aren't collecting dust. Except then I have to buy more…which is never satisfying for my wallet. Too bad its so much fun!
