Mike and Deborah Peede's '66 Rally Red Sting Ray can eat up the quarter-mile in 12.02 seconds at 119 mph, but Mike swears he's got solid 11-second passes hidden deep within the car, except it is limited by its factory rear suspension.
What distinguishes the midyear Corvette from its domestic brethren is the independent rear suspension-standard on every vehicle. it would be this innovative platform that would hinder the Corvette's drag-racing prowess in its early stages. Desirable because of their lightweight fiberglass bodies and large powerplants between the fenders, the Sting Rays could easily compete in Super Stock NHRA classes once the IRS was removed and replaced with a stout 12-bolt solid axle. Limited by its antiquated geometry, the factory IRS for the midyear Corvettes proved to be unsuitable for aggressive driving and competitive drag racing, though quite brilliant on the road course.
Mike's got a thing for horsepower and it doesn't matter what badge it wears, just as long as it's fast. Transcending brand affiliation, Mike is the proud owner of a bevy of Mopars and Bow Ties: second-generation Dodge Charger R/Ts, a '70 Challenger SE, a '71 GTX, a '68 Road Runner, a Hemi-powered '66 Satellite, an original 18,500-mile '70 Hemi Cuda, a pair of Z28s from 1969 and 1973, and even a '70 Boss Mustang accompany the big-block 427 Sting Ray featured here.
Mike and Deborah wanted their Vette, rebuilt from a turnkey driver, to distinguish itself from the crowd of trailer queens and six-figure restorations. modified Vettes may be one thing, but super-fast Vettes are another. Built to be driven (and hard), the three-year project proved to be well worth the effort since it has taken several first place titles at a handful of car shows, as well as gracing the celluloid screen on Speed Channel's Horse-power TV.
While at the Beech Bend Dragstrip in Bowling Green, Kentucky, Mike was initially looking to build a '62 "fuelie" project before stumbling across this red hardtop roadster. Enticed by its then-owner Jim to take the '66 Sting Ray out for a spin, the temptation was too much for Mike to resist and plans for a '62 were quickly forgotten. Jim, who wanted to sell the Sting Ray because he needed the garage space, and Mike exchanged currency and car keys.
In a feat of pure Corvette enthusiast euphoria or maybe plain insanity, Mike and Deb jumped in the roadster and headed to their Atlanta, Georgia, home to begin the three-year project. It's not often that someone gets the chance to skate a classic Corvette through the hills and mountain roads of the American Southeast, and they jumped at the opportunity.

Of all the Super Chevy Shows we attend throughout the year, the event at Bandimere Speedway outside Denver, Colorado, welcomes us with the best weather. The skies are dotted with little clouds and the air is cool with a slight breeze. It's the kind of weather that puts you at ease right up till you get close to the venue. That's when the sound of horsepower echoes off the mountainside and gets our adrenalin pumping. When Associate Editor Patrick Hill and I pulled into the gates, the pits were already full of simple bracket cars all the way to some seriously quick Pro Mod rides. We quickly became kids again oohing and ahhing and pointing at all the cool stuff.
After composing ourselves, we parked the rental car, grabbed our camera gear, and set off towards the show field. It, too, was packed to the gills with everything from stock restored beauties to full custom restomods. We gotta tell ya, the quality of the restorations we saw at Bandimere is a true testament to how thick with car culture Colorado really is.
After walking the rows of Chevelles, Camaros and the like, we headed to the swap meet area. There were all kinds of goodies to be had and once again we were bummed that we flew in so we couldn't take home some of the bigger items we really wanted.
If you are more of a new part kind of builder, then the manufacturers midway surrounding the show field offered everything from air tools to detail products. If you wanted to see some new engines or even a new Chevy to buy, then Chevrolet Performance and Stevinson Chevrolet were there to help. There were even a few activities for the budding gearhead, like the Revell Make 'n' Take. Held in one of the facility's large tents kids and their parents were given a 2010 Camaro model to assemble together and then take home.
We really enjoy coming to Bandimere, as the track is just great and the people are even better. If you are even close to Denver next year, this is one to stop in and check out.

The hatchback class is long standing for those looking for an affordable, dependable vehicle. The brand new 2012 Hyundai Veloster fits that need perfectly. While it has a dramatic exterior body design, the inside of the hatchback is fully loaded with not only comfort features, but also plenty of useful technology designed to do everything from keeping teen drivers where they belong, to issuing accident notifications, to providing entertainment. To see the economy side of the Veloster, you have to look hard.
Under the hood, the fun keeps coming with a 1.6-liter, four-cylinder engine. There is no doubt there are faster cars on the road, even in this class, but it is still fun to drive and gets the job done relatively well with either top notch transmission choice. Overall, the Veloster is worth taking a look at if you are in the market for a dependable, attractive hatchback.
New For 2012
For the 2012 model year, the Hyundai Veloster is a new model. It is a four passenger, three-door hatchback available in one trim level.
Introduced brand new for the 2012 model year, the Hyundai Veloster is offered in a single well appointed trim level. The three-door design with the hatchback is a unique body style for the car maker. This car is equipped with 17-inch alloy wheels. If the consumers choses the Veloster with the Style package, the wheel size is increased to 18 inches. For a hatchback, the Veloster is an extremely stylish car. It features a truly distinctive front end and grille. The grille is uniquely shaped with lots of metal accents. The Hyundai emblem is placed in the center of the grille towards the top. The headlights are placed to slant back towards the front fenders and hood of the model. Attractive modern lines accent the sides and doors of the car, as well as the rear fenders. The roof is tall and slopes dramatically back to the rear window and classic hatchback design. Hyundai managed to create a rather sports car looking vehicle unique to its class in design.
Interior & Cargo
As attractive as the 2012 Hyundai Veloster is from the outside, there is plenty to look forward to on the inside. This car is equipped with supportive, comfortable seats in the front and rear of the cabin. For the most part passengers of any size should be able to get comfortable for short trips or the long haul. On the other hand, while there is no shortage of leg room in the back seat, head room is at a premium due to the hatchback's sloping roof. In terms of space, the available cargo area is rather impressive for a car of this size. With the rear seats in their upright position, the Veloster offers 15.5 cubic feet of space. With the seats folded, naturally that number increases.
The overall design for the cabin of the Veloster is fresh and modern without looking contrived. There is a great deal of hard plastic, but it is textured to help take the hard edge off somewhat. Adding to the modern appeal is the huge number of techno gadgets in the cabin. The Veloster is equipped with a seven inch touchscreen complete with the BlueLink system, outbound text messaging, and the navigation system. This car also features a geo fence system which can be used to keep teen drivers within certain perimeters if necessary.
The 2012 Hyundai Veloster is equipped with plenty of standard safety features to meet requirements and provide plenty of peace of mind. This model is equipped with anti-lock brakes as well as stability and traction control. It also has the BlueLink system similar to OnStar in function. Additionally, the Veloster is also equipped with front seat side airbags and full length side curtain airbags as well.
Driving Experience
While the Hyundai Veloster isn't a large car, it does have a worthwhile powertrain. This car comes with a 1.6-liter, four-cylinder engine paired with a six-speed manual transmission. Interested buyers can also choose the automated dual clutch manual transmission or the DCT as its known. This powertrain produced 138 hp and 123 lb-ft of torque. The fuel economy for this model is estimated at 28/40 mpg city/highway with the standard manual transmission and 29/38 mpg city/highway with the DCT.
During test drives, the Veloster didn't achieve the same rate of acceleration as some of its hatchback competitors. This is unusual for such a sporty car. However, the Veloster does have its strong points. This model is fun to drive with solid, predictable handling and is relatively quiet from engine and outside noise. It does allow a surprising amount of sound from the road into the cabin though. The ride quality is firm and large bumps in the road are felt clearly in the cabin.
Key Competitors For The 2012 Hyundai Veloster
- Volvo C30
- Mini Cooper
- Scion tC
- Honda CR-V

I had preordered a signed first edition book on London (London Under Peter Ackroyd) but the dealer screwed up and sent me a new book by Ben Aaronovitch , Moon Over Soho , first edition signed lined and dated.
Got on to them and they were highly apologetic and luckily still had a copy of the now sold out book which has now been sent to me.
As it was there screw up i've been allowed to keep the other one.
My question is is this guy any good. The book seems to be a crime/urban fantasy book about a cop whos a wizard.
It seems the author did a lot of DR Who fan fiction as well as the scripts for the recent Blake 7 radio programs . This all sounds like Q territory hence the question. I've a lot of books to get through and is this worthy of joining the pile

from R.C. Sproul Jr. Jul 08, 2010 Category: ArticlesThat depends. Do I have Messianic delusions? I certainly pray not, and if I do, then surely I must repent for them. Is my faith built around the biblical promise of the coming of Messiah, steeped in the wisdom of the Old Covenant? Of course. Am I part of that subsection of the Christian faith that holds it important to keep kosher, to keep Jewish feast days, who rest and worship Friday through Saturday evening? Nope, that's not me. Keep Reading
Repentance and Reformation
from R.C. Sproul Jr. Jun 14, 2010 Category: Tabletalk MagazineThe Protestant Reformation is called the Reformation for a good reason. It is not called the First Reformation or Reformation II, as if they happen every so often. I have never been asked, when referencing the Reformation, "Of which Reformation do you speak?" Renewals? Of course. Revivals? Who could doubt it? There has been only one Reformation, precisely because they are rather hard to come by. Those of us who long for another, then, might be wise to search out that spark that started the Reformation. Where did it all begin? Was it with Martin Luther's stirring speech at the Diet of Worms, his firm resolve to stand on the Word of God? Perhaps. Did it start earlier, in Luther's study, as he exegeted key texts on justification? Maybe. Did it start with his fiery speech before he dropped the papal bull announcing his excommunication into the flames? One could so argue. Keep Reading
The Lost and the Found
from R.C. Sproul Jr. Jun 01, 2010 Category: ArticlesIt's Tuesday as I write, the first Tuesday after the end of Lost. A week has passed since the bewildering end to a mold-breaking, bewildering, television event. I got lost a little late, though of late I think I don't get Lost at all. That is, I started watching near the end of the second season. It was the first television program I watched via DVD, and with my dear wife stayed up many a late night to watch "just one more." We waited for Season 2's release, and watched it also on DVD. From that point however, we put ourselves on the schedule of the network. Keep Reading
Should Christians Be on Facebook?
from R.C. Sproul Jr. May 27, 2010 Category: ArticlesShould Christians be on Facebook? What about all the privacy issues that are in the news these days? I sometimes wonder if the devil doesn't take great pleasure in irony, in watching us turn ourselves inside out while missing the point. While I am on Facebook, and therefore at least hold to a tentative conviction that such is allowable for Christians, there are any number of reasons to raise concerns over it. Privacy and the lack thereof, however, would likely be the last one I would raise. With Facebook's very public and controversial announcement of its change in policy with respect to privacy, that, however, is what has many Christians concerned. How, I wonder, can a person take a technology that exists to say to the watching world, "Here I am. Come see about me" complain that the world is coming to see about them? Anyone who wishes more privacy can find such easily enough. Don't use Facebook. If you already do, stop. We are in a moral uproar for all the wrong reasons. We are aghast at the owners of Facebook for daring to change their policy (which, remember, the original policy held out as at their discretion) rather than being appalled at ourselves for implicitly breaking the 8th Commandment. We think because we are a user of Facebook that such makes us an owner of Facebook, and so demand this and demand that from the real owners. Keep Reading
Converting to Catholicism
from R.C. Sproul Jr. May 22, 2010 Category: ArticlesWhat would you say to a Christian who is thinking of converting to Roman Catholicism? First…don't. After that my approach would likely adjust for the particular person, and what I knew about what was motivating them to make that move. Any approach, however, would look at both personal issues and theological issues. Too often we unwisely focus on one to the exclusion of the other. In my own circles we tend to jump to the theological. Keep Reading
What Is Reconstructionism? What Is Theonomy?
from R.C. Sproul Jr. May 12, 2010 Category: ArticlesLike Calvinism and Reformed theology, these two terms are often used as synonyms, but could be understood as genus and species. That is, embracing Calvinism is part of what it means to be Reformed, but not the whole. In like manner some would suggest that theonomy is part of the broader body of convictions described as reconstructionism. Theonomy might be understood as the conviction that the civil law God gave to Israel in the Old Testament ought to be the law of the land in all nations everywhere. Keep Reading
The One-Two Punch
from R.C. Sproul Jr. May 10, 2010 Category: Tabletalk MagazineThe one thing I want you to be certain to do is finish reading this column and brush your teeth every evening. I trust at least two things strike you about this opening sentence. First, it's a rather odd way to begin. Second, why would I tell you there is one thing I want you to be certain to do and then ask for two things? Truth be told, I am following in the footsteps of Jesus, hoping to better understand our calling to follow in His footsteps. He said, Seek first that which is first, not first and second, but first, the kingdom of God. That would have made perfect sense, had He stopped there. But He didn't. He said seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness. That's two things, or is it? Keep Reading
Something New Under the Sun
from R.C. Sproul Jr. Apr 27, 2010 Category: Tabletalk MagazineImagine, if you would, that you are the most powerful person in the world. Now imagine that you are also the richest person in the world. Would your life be fundamentally different? Would everything that is now ordinary about your life become extraordinary? Not according to the wisest man in the world. King Solomon reigned in Israel at the peak of its power. Israel was at that time a world power, her borders swelling. Solomon likewise enjoyed the wealth of Croesus (the grossly rich Greek king). No one on the planet was as wealthy as Solomon. Better than all this, however, he was gifted by the God of heaven and earth with wisdom. In that wisdom, and in light of experiencing every pleasure, every distraction that the world had to offer, he spoke this heavy nugget: "There is nothing new under the sun" (Eccl. 1:9). Keep Reading
A People of One Language
from R.C. Sproul Jr. Apr 20, 2010 Category: ArticlesI read the Bible in English. Which is actually two keys to understanding language. I read the Bible in English, the still, though languishing, language of this country. It is a language I share with Muslim Americans, with secular Americans, with Jewish Americans. We, in this context, speak the same language. But, in English I read the Bible, words that set me apart from Muslims, Jews and secularists. The form of my language is English. The content is, or at least ought to be, the Bible. Keep Reading
We Are Family
from R.C. Sproul Jr. Apr 18, 2010 Category: ArticlesOne of the telling measures of our own cultural decline is the steady erosion of a sane understanding of the family. Family, we should remember, is on one level what we call a common blessing. God has not restricted the freedom to marry and to raise up children to His redeemed. He has instead blessed all mankind with that liberty, with that calling. The serpent, however, has countless versions of the false family, a dizzying array of communities held together by base and foolish affections. He entices us to look for love in all the wrong places, to draw circles in the sand that will wash away with the tide. Keep Reading

Lowest Price Guarantee
The CCM RBZ 40 Hockey Stick is the entry level model out of the new RBZ stick line. This key feature on this RBZ 40 is the signature RBZ "custom kickpoint" that provides an optimal shot time and time again.
Composite sticks have had shot-specific limitations when it comes down to low-kick sticks vs. traditional mid-kick sticks. The low-kick sticks are optimal for a quick shot release while the traditional mid-kick sticks are optimal for big powerful slap shots and one timers. The new custom kick point in the RBZ 40 breaks down this barrier by supplying the optimal shot for every shot. The flex profile changes when the lower hand on the stick is moved from a higher point to a lower point (or vice versa). The blade has a traditional feel with the single-spar as a back bone with traditional foam filling the rest of the blade.
- Heritage: New
- Level of Player: Ideal for the intermediate to advance level of player
- Construction: Fused two-piece
- Shaft Dimensions: Rounded corners / Slightly concave sidewalls
- Flex Point: Variable Kick Point (kick point varies on where you have your hands placed on the shaft)
- Weight: 570 grams (Based on a 85 flex Nugent-Hopkins)
- Construction:
- Fiberglass and Carbon Composite
- Very durable material that provides a solid feel in the hands
- Flex Profile:
- Variable kick point
- Depending on where your hands are on the shaft and the type of shot you take
- Geometry:
- "T" geometry
- Rounded corners with slightly concave sidewalls
- Grip:
- Clear coating finish
- Blade:
- X-Stiff with Foam Core
- Provides a stiff and durable blade
- The single spar backbone with foam provides a traditional feel
- Flex: 65

CamelBak Alpine Explorer
Excellent! This has become my go-to day pack. Purchased this pack in 2011 and after much use it's still going strong. Is my favorite day pack. Has an easily removable waist strap (never need or use it). Shoulder/sternum straps are well placed and comfortable. Pack rides very nicely. It holds plenty of gear for summer trips and most 3-season hikes. Pack has a several sections and a couple of nice smaller pockets (e.g., micro-lined pocket on top for glasses). All in all a nice design. Should I ever… Full review
CamelBak Fourteener
Great pack for day trips. I bought this pack in 2014, so mine is most likely a newer model, than what is pictured. I can add pictures of mine, if anyone is curious. This pack fits me great, I am 6'2" and about 195 lbs. and have no issues with the straps being long enough, in fact there is plenty for it to fit some one taller and larger than myself. As for comfort I have used a few other day packs (Osprey, which I enjoy) and this one is my favorite. The padding on the back and the belt is comfortable… Full review
Nathan Intensity
The Nathan Intensity running vest is an excellent woman-specific pack for running medium to long distances. With a 70-ounce reservoir and pockets for gels and chews, it has plenty of capacity to cover several hours on the run year-round. Plus, it's comfortable for hours and stable with no bounce.

Ultimate Direction PB Adventure Vest
I rarely write a review where I don't have a con. I looked long and hard for one on this piece of gear, but really couldn't find it, at least in functionality. I'm a bigger runner, so I notice that you must get the bigger size with this product or it just will be too small. I love the amount of gear it can carry, very versatile if you don't want to put a bottle in you can use that pocket for a myriad of other uses. Great gear for both road and trail. Highly recommend.

Blackhawk! Barrage Hydration Pack
A heavy-duty "military style" 3-day pack that is designed to last forever, no matter what you do with it. Although BlackHawk! categorizes it as a hydration pack, I believe the hydration bladder is a small portion of this pack. I purchased this pack prior to a deployment overseas in 2008 and it still looks brand new today. In between being an every day carry item thru Kuwait and Afghanistan, it has also been used as a day pack for hikes and hunting. As well as a great commuter bag and travel bag. … Full review

Jon, most people agree that Austin isn't really Texas. It isn't at all like the rest of the state and I can attest to that, having been to Austin and around it a bit. Not many people in Austin speak "Texan" with little or no accent. Hit southern Texas around Corpus Christi and regions around it and you're in real cattle country, full on Texas towns.
Anyway, congrats, she's gorgeous!

well you can't really, that sorta defeats the purpose of using whole grains, not pre-processed flour. You won't get the same fluffy pancakes unless you go buy some whole spelt. Try it, you'll be pleasantly surprised by the results.

David Gill, who runs the multi -award winning South Lakes Wild Animal Park, at Dalton-in-Furness, has accused Barrow Borough Council of 'stifling' entrepreneurial spirit in the Furness area.
He believes his project would – * create 45 new jobs * bring elephants and 'big cats' such as jaguars to the park for the first time * improve housing for existing animals * add a children's farm * revamp visitor facilities, including a large car park and a new steam train to take visitors around the park Mr Gill is frustrated that the council has not ruled on his planning application after a year – although it is minded to reject it.
Now he has asked the Government's planning inspectorate to intervene and make a decision.
The borough council's planning committee believes the project would be an over-development of a greenfield site and cause traffic problems for residents of Melton Terrace, off the A590, where the new entrance would be located.
And it says that part of the reason it has taken so long to resolve the matter is because some of the application details were not clear enough.
Mr Gill, 50, who set up the park 17 years ago, said: "I have lived here all my life and these councillors are the most backward-looking people you could come across.
"How a positive project, which would create jobs and bring more people to the area in such desperate economic times as these, could be refused beggars belief."
He added: "At the moment we have four different car parks and up to 4,000 people a day trying to cross a busy 60mph road to get to the park. With our new plans we could have them all on one piece of land."
And he warned that the zoo, which is one of Cumbria's top five visitor attractions, would stagnate if it did not grow.
"In this day and age, if you don't go forwards you are going backwards."
The zoo is already home to a variety of animals, including giraffes, rhinos, lions and lemurs and runs two animal conservation charities which aim to protect vulnerable species such as Sumatran tigers.
Mr Gill's plan has been backed by Cumbria Tourism managing director Ian Stephens, who said: ''The park provides one of many good reasons for visiting the Furness peninsula and has brought important benefits into the area in terms of employment, and tourist expenditure.
"The expansion plans are to be encouraged and have a close fit with the tourism strategy for Cumbria. We're sure that most people will be in favour of bringing increased employment and income to the area and as such we hope that the planning issues can be overcome".
John Millar, chairman of Dalton with Newton Parish Council, which opposed the plans, said councillors were not against expansion or creating jobs but were worried about access.
"We are concerned about traffic flow and the impact this could have on the surrounding rural area," he said Coun Ann Thomson, chairman of Barrow's planning committee told the Gazette: "We are not in the business of stifling entrepreneurialism – we wouldn't dream of doing that."
She said members had particular concerns that the car park would 'stand out like a sore thumb' on the hillside and it was still unclear how it would be masked by landscaping.
Barrow and Furness MP John Woodcock said: "Safety should never be compromised, but I hope these concerns can be resolved to everyone's satisfaction.
"The wildlife park is one of this area's big-pull attractions with lots of potential to expand and create more jobs in the years ahead."
The final decision will be made by secretary of state for local government and communities Eric Pickles following advice from the planning inspectorate.
A ruling is likely to be made next spring.
THE Bassenthwaite Ospreys have moved home to live in marshes nearer to Bassenthwaite Lake.
After successfully nesting at their treetop summer home at Dodd Wood since 2008, the pair decided it was time for a change and have been gradually building a new nest since returning from their wintering grounds in West Africa.
Fortunately, the new site is visible from the Dodd Wood viewpoint so visitors can still enjoy watching the birds of prey this season.
Ospreys are normally faithful to successful nest sites, so the move was a bit of a shock for staff at the Lake District Osprey Project (LDOP). This is only the second time staff have seen the ospreys change nest in the project's 11-year history.
Nathan Fox of the RSPB's Lake District Osprey Project, said: 'It has been an interesting and exciting start to the season, with the birds deciding to move. We have been working closely with local landowners and farmers to make sure that the birds are fully protected and therefore have a good chance of raising their chicks."
A PAIR of ospreys have returned to their nesting site in the Lake District. The birds are back at Bassenthwaite Lake - 10 years after the first male osprey chose the area for a nesting site.The bird, known as No Ring, was the first to nest in the Lakes for 150 years. Experts say he has returned with the female he paired up with for the first time in 2007.
It is hoped the birds will rear an 11th generation of young after two male chicks were produced last year.
Graeme Prest of the Lake District Osprey Project said: "It is wonderful news that the ospreys have returned for another season and have already mated. With a bit of luck, the female will be laying her eggs soon."
Almost 100 people are part of a volunteer project to provide 24-hour observation on the nest. They also engage with the public about ospreys at the Dodd Wood viewpoint and Whinlatter Visitor Centre.
The public Osprey Viewpoint at Dodd Wood, near Keswick, has been opened and telescopes are being provided to see the birds.
Live images from the nest are also being beamed to a big screen at the nearby Whinlatter visitor centre. The osprey project is managed by a partnership of the Forestry Commission, Lake District National Park Authority and the RSPB.

Does this scale "remember" your previous weight, and re-use it to imply accuracy through consistancy?
I've had issues with other digital scales "remembering" it's previous reading, rather than doing a true weigh each time. The scale will immediately jump straight to the previous reading whereas it would otherwise fluctuate within a range of a few ounces until it settles on an exact weight. When you finally break the threshold where the scale decides you may not be the same user because there is enough of a weight difference, there is suddenly a 6-lb change in your weight. Any experiences with this scale to support the idea that this one does(n't) do this?
- Asked by Stacie B from Charlotte
WiFi body scale by Withings
Product No Longer Available
1 Answer from the Community
This one is accurate and I have tried a lot of weighing scales. The scale is sensitive to movement but once you are steady it records the weight and provides BMI & fat mass calculation on the scale. It also detects who the person being weighed, within the range of previous reading. Otherwise you can assign the reading to or from a registered user. A must to track your weight.
