Our team will develop a plan for weight loss that gives you the treatment options, expertise and support you need.
If you've struggled with weight loss, you know there are no easy answers. For many people, eating less and exercising more may not be enough to reach healthy weight goals. At Franciscan Center for Weight Management, we can help you achieve lasting results and discover a happier, healthier you. Our expert physicians and staff offer advanced surgical options for successful weight loss.
Take the first step: Sign up to attend a free seminar on our minimally invasive options for weight loss (bariatric) surgery. Our seminars provide an opportunity for you to meet a surgeon, a member of the care team and a surgery patient who will tell his/her story. Your questions will be answered during a question-and-answer period, and our team will discuss insurance requirements and coverage, the differences between surgical procedures, pre- and post-surgery education, how quickly you'll return to work, managing nutrition and ongoing support.
We can help you reach your weight loss goals and live a healthy, active life. Beginning with your first consultation, our team works with you to assess your needs and develop a plan to meet them. We offer all the major types of bariatric surgery, including:

This topic has been visited before, but I couldn't find the thread, so here we go again.
On my way to the university, there are two major intersections I have to cross. The first one has a stoplight that either seems fairly easy to trigger, or is set to change no matter the traffic density, but not the second. I remember reading that there is a way to trigger stoplights without the help of cars and without pushing the pedestrians' walk button, but cannot remember what that is.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but is there a way?

Bourbon Pate
13 Apr 2009
Bourbon Pate is a delicious easily prepared side dish which you cannot resist to prepare. The deadly combination of liverwurst and bourbon won't let you to miss out this pate dish.
|1 1⁄2 Pound
|1 Cup (16 tbs)
|1⁄4 Cup (4 tbs)
|1⁄2 Teaspoon
|Black truffles/1/2 cup chopped pitted black olives
|2 Ounce
Let 1 1/2 lbs. liverwurst and 1 cup butter or margarine stand at room temperature until soft enough to mash about 1 hour for the liverwurst.
Mash liverwurst with a fork until free of lumps.
Add butter or margarine and mix well.
Add 1/4 cup bourbon, 1/2 teaspoon pepper and 1 (2-oz.) can black truffles, chopped (or 1/2 cup chopped, pitted black olives), and mix thoroughly.
Pack into a crock or lightly oiled 1-qt. mold.
Serve directly from crock or mold, or unmold onto serving plate.
Serve with crackers, toast rounds or quartered slices of hot lightly buttered toast.
Truffles are expensive, and a similar effect can be achieved by using chopped black olives.

i.e the distros that get the most coverage. (If novell had their own way they'd be pushing solely gnome too)
No announcement yet.
KDE 4.1 Released, KDE 4.2 In January
new posts
I hope this will hit Gentoo's portage soon. Not being able to use Compiz is a drawback, but KDE 4 compositing also provides for an elegant working environment too.
Hm, KDE vs Gnome again... I feel Gnome is restricting me. There are many places where it tells me "we don't let you customize this and that because we don't want to confuse you". Well, KDE lets me customize this and that without confusing me.
KDE is great for people who like to tinker a lot of with their system and customize every single aspect.
It falls down pretty badly when the same people try to apply it to people who *don't* like to tinker with their system, but simply work, play, or do whatever else an os is designed for.
Then there are those said gnome people who think since they don't tinker with their system much, and they achieve great productivity on their gnome system, think kde people should be using it...
And it goes in circles like that. Only thing that might break this cycle is that KDE's top usability engineer just finding out about implicit save option and thinking that it "makes a lot of sense and makes the configuration and interaction with options much more natural."
So you never know what future has in store =)
I know eh? This is one of the fundamental differences that sets KDE and Gnome design apart. The fact that KDE's top (at least in the press, everywhere) usability person a) never seen of it until recently, and b) likes it upon seeing it also bring some interesting thoughts
I have to agree with those who say KDE is lacking in usability. While there are plenty of users who acknowledge that KDE usability sucks, not enough are able to become developers and make the changes themselves. Which is why KDE needs more corporate support.
There are plenty of users who also claim that Gnome usability sucks. Linus Torvalds is probably the most famous of them (I remember a flame war of sorts where Linus almost outright said "Gnome sucks").
Usability is subjective. There will always be people that find shortcomings in *any* environment. If I try to think about what I don't like in KDE, the result are shortcomings in things that are not part of it: Thunderbird, Firefox, Compiz.
As for going political, I like that KDE is based upon something that is fully GPL instead of LGPL. I support the viral nature of the GPL and its mentality. LGPL is a compromise for me.Last edited by RealNC; 07-29-2008, 10:36 PM.
Neither of the big desktop environments come out of the box just the way I like them. The thing is, with Gnome, it seems I have to fight tooth and nail to get it where I want it - With KDE (3.* and 4.*, >=4.0.3) it's just a few simple clicks away.
I'm excited. I was playing with /trunk up until beta 2, but a hard drive failure and laziness kept me from going further. I liked what I saw, and, at least for me, KDE4 is finally ready for prime time. I can't wait to leave Konqueror 3 behind me (it's been good to me, but it's edges are rough and there's no hiding them). Think I'll start compiling tomorrow.
It's usable, but still nothing to rave about. There are still many things that you can't easily change. Having no proper front ends for laptop power management tools really sucks too. The composition manager is nice, but it "feels" heavier than Compiz. Still, I think one could easily use it as a 24/7 DE, but I personally will still stick to 3.5 for a while.

stepping back
It's funny.. we have people complaining that Gnome isn't customizable enough, while KDE is too customizable. There are people perfectly content at both ends of the spectrum. Imagine if desktop Linux only had one choice. It's a shame that development is split between two camps, but we are probably gaining more this way!
Re: KDE 4.1.
It is a huge improvement over 4.0, but there is still work to be done, and the Nvidia drivers need to be fixed yesterday. It is ready for tinkers (not just developers), but not ready for the masses yet.Last edited by mmmbop; 07-30-2008, 04:25 AM.
KDE has too much options? I can't find enough!
Jokes aside, I really hate the way that Gnome cuts my productivity. It's even worse than Windows.
There is some very nice ideas in gnome, but the fact that my dual-core system feels horribly sluggish (even when not using compiz) compared to every other DE I have ever tried... well, there ya go.
I haven't looked at KDE4.1 yet, but 4.0 had some promise, but actually disappointed me. And still no ports of the best application ever (Amarok)!!!
I don't use KDE as my main DE, but do use some KDE programs. The 3 issues I've been having a) the input line randomly playing piano sounds when I type in it, b) phonon telling me that a device failed and it's going to fallback to the same one, and c) knotify4 growing up to 100mb all were not fixed.
So... it came, and went for me.
(oh yeah, and now I get to officially laugh that KDE 4 has no finished HIG. Haha)
With Linux like it is today, it will be "not ready for the desktop" forever. See, my grandma doesn't want to know the advantages of deb/rpm/portage/Gnome/KDE. She wants to click buttons and have that email sent to my grandpa.

As we touched on in a
on January 3rd, the ratio of gold/platinum is an interesting
relationship that has had historical levels that made sense
before the crisis.
This relationship was rooted in the fundamental industrial uses
of each metal and to some extent the role that each precious
metal played (and still plays) in central bank reserve
Platinum (
) traded around 2x what gold (
) was worth per ounce for the first 8 years of the last decade,
but that relationship changed massively when Fed policy changed
beyond any historical expectation.
Thus gold spiked in price outright and relative to platinum as
a function of gold being an inflation hedge, a policy hedge and a
metal whose demand was not necessarily defined by core economic
In the case of industrial uses of PGMs, demand also fell
putting more pressure on platinum, as platinum historically has
not shared the same "hedge" investment holding rationale.
As the Fed continues to taper and industrial uses of these
metals recover with the global economy, this spread should return
to levels that existed before the crisis. Even with a move
from 1.1X gold/plat to around .85 today, there is a strong
argument this trend continues well into the .70's in 2014.

The Gunflint Trail. This is a very scenic out and back run. I think it is something around 60 miles to the end (120 round trip) but it is well worth the side trip. You can knock it off in about three hours even with stopping to check things out. No doubt a circle tourer can spare 3 hours.
The Gunfling is a scenic byway.
Nice view of Grand Marais (big marsh) from the high ground.
The Maple Hill Church and cemetery are an interesting short side trip.
Nice streams along the way.
You can tour this lumber mill. Logs are big business up this way.
Kiln for drying lumber.
Old growth white pine.
Some scars from forest fires along the way.
Trail Center. Word on the street is that they have good food.
Some old logging tools on display.
This is the site of an old lumber mill.
The store in the old days.
What used to be across from the store.
This guy is responsible for the Gunflint Trail. He was part of the development of Grand Marais. Once iron was discovered out this way, they slowly created and improved a path out here. This guy died on 1905 at age 75.
They tried to develop a mine out here and even built a connector rail line with a bunch of trestles in a mere seven months.
Helipad near a fire base.
When one fire burned in here a few years back, it exposed some rock and terrain that showed evidence that the area was struck with spatter from the Sudbury meteor.
Forest service boat.
1935 cabin that is now the Chik-Wauk Nature Center.
Gives me an idea about cooking while tailgaiting at ball games.
These lakes are strung together into a long waterway.
Campground at the end of the line.
Looking across the campground.
Those aluminum tent pins might not cut it here.
On the way back, I ran the track on some of the old GFT that is not paved.
It is a nice road that won't be a problem.

I may have missed something..
Another great RR! Thanks..
I went around Superior last summer. Took off from the town of Blind River, just east of Sault Ste. Marie early in the morning and went counter clockwise around Superior. In one day, I ended up going all the way around, and camped by the lake just across the border back in MN.. I may have missed a few sites.
I did see enough to know I want to go back. Hope to get up there with my wife in August.
Your timing is perfect. I doubt I noticed 5% of of the cool stuff to see. Now I'll know what I missed, and what to see on my return trip.

On to the Canadian border.
This church was built in 1895. There was a Chippewa City of about 200 people here at the time.
There is an old Chippewa cemetery nearby. The old section doesn't have many markers.
Burial at the cemetery.
Georgie Morrison is buried here. He was born on a nearby reservation and later became a famous artist who taught in several universities.
Some of the last of the original shore road.
Nice scenery along the old road.
This used to be dammed up.
To power this old sawmill.
This is about all I could find of Colvill. The town is named after Colonel Bill Colvill who commanded a MN regiment in the Civil War. Colville had been arrested for allowing his unit to cross a river on logs instead of wading across. After a 14 day march to Gettysburg he was relieved of arrest and resumed command of his regiment on Cemetery Ridge. The ridge was about to be overrun, so to delay the rebels Colvill directed his regiment to attack to gain time for other units to reinforce the ridge. Of the 282 Minnesotans who made the charge, 217 were killed or wounded. The delay worked. MN named this town after Colvill in recognition of his work at Gettysburg.
6'5" Colvill (huge for the 1860s) was shot three times. Surgeons wanted to amputate his foot but he wouldn't let them. One shot that hit him in the shoulder tore across his back clipping off a part of his vertebra. For a while he recovered in a private home in Gettysburg and later at a hospital in Harrisburg. Good luck finding a bed for someone 6' 5" at that time. He eventually became Attorney General of MN.
There are a number of State Parks along the route. Some require a sticker to get access to certain areas. There are more waterfalls in this park (Magney).
This was a 1920s ultra exclusive club.
Jack Dempsey, Babe Ruth, and Ring Lardner are some of the famous that used to hang out here. Perhaps you want to stop in for that afternoon tea.
Hovland Dock. Needs some repairs.
Ran into another rider there. Ran into him again at Ryden's store near the border.
I guess there is a project afoot to restore the dock. At one time this dock and town were important to commerce in the region.
Old fishing shack.
It is worth poking around this town a bit. There are some interesting old buildings and history in the area. There used to be a CCC camp here as well.
Another one of those safe harbors along the shore.
Well monitored by the Border Patrol.
This is the site of the Grand Portage National Monument.
There was a big rendezvous of trappers here every year back in the fur days.
The Grand Portage is an 8 1/2 mile foot path that by-passes 21 miles or rapids and falls on the Pigeon River that can't be navigated. Once you get up the portage, it is smooth sailing (canoeing) again.
Re-creation of the old trading fort.
As it appears from across the bay.
Isle Royale is close and there is water transportation to the island available.
The oldest log church in MN (1865).
Next to this replacement.
There is a big C-store on the reservation at Grand Portage. You can get gas here and sometimes do currency exhchanges. Otherwise, you can do the same at Ryden's Border Store just up the road.
Nice overlook just outside of town.
The land for this state park on the border is leased from the reservation. There is a walking trail to the highest waterfall in MN on the Pigeon River which defines the border. More on that in a bit.

Across the border and on to Thunder Bay.
Just after you cross the border you have another opportunity to hike in to view the highest waterfall in MN. Riding gear is not so good for long strolls on hiking trails, so I opted to check out another nearby falls instead.
The middle falls along the river here is easy access. There are no formal facilities over there - just a closed campground. Take the first left across the border to get there.
Not to difficult to find. You can hear it.
Just above the falls.
Looking downstream.
The water was really running.
Being from Wisconsin, I am required to keep an eye on cheese production. I heard about this farm and swung by to see what was up.
Closed on Sundays.
Norway sent a rock over here as part of some commemoration of Norwegians and Canadians who pioneered ski jumping in the area.
Nearby is a ski jumping facility.
Nice place, but judging by how the ski runs have grown in with trees, I would guess that it hasn't operated for quite a while.
As I came into Thunder Bay I ran across this mill.
It was nice to see that it was still operating. Some others further along are bankrupt and closed.
This is the visitor center at Old Fort William. It is one of the top ten attractions in Canada. It is a living history type place with more than 50 buildings. I guess it was the world's largest fur trading post.
Scenic stream that crossed a road in the area.
I stopped in Stanley. There is a historical marker at the river. The town used to have a soft drink bottling plant, a cheese factory, railway station, and a general store. Gone now.
But the Stanley hotel is still here (it burned and was rebuilt in 1945). Back in 1906 you could get a room and board your horse for a buck a night.
Today they are known for great burgers. I added a CannonCard to the board while I was there.
Chatted a bit with these folks from the Harley crowd. Very nice people. They've done the Sturgis run and pointed out that when they go to Superior they make sure the stop for a burger at the Anchor Bar.
Ran past this bike. Didn't see the rider. Might have seen this again near Quimet Canyon.
Kakabeka Falls is the Niagra of the north. 128' drop. The water was surging because the area recently got 2" of rain in about two hours. They needed the rain, but not all at once. Thunder Bay took a pretty good ass-kicking with flooded basements and washed out roads.
There was a lot of water pouring over the falls.
Not so good for canoeists.
The photograph doesn't show the motion, but that mist was shooting out of the canyon like exhaust from a jet engine.
The water was running under the platform on the other side so they closed it.
I thought these trainer planes for the Canadian Forces were no longer in use having been replaced by a more advanced aircraft. I guess some are still being used by the Snowbirds exhibition team. Not sure what the story is on this particular plane.
Heading across the river to the south part of town.
Nice bridge.
Mount McKay.
I took a ride up to this overlook. It is on indian reserve land.
Sleeping giant (more on that later). His snoring kept me up most of the night.
Chapel on the overlook.
Veteran's memorial.
River heading into the harbor.
This port is a huge grain port for Canada. Stuff from western Canada can come through here to be shipped through the Great Lakes to world ports. This is the largest outbound port on the St Lawrence Seaway system and the sixth largest port in Canada.
If I had ambition I'd stitch these into a pano.
Some people may remember that Thunder Bay is where Lawrencia Bembenek ("Run Bambi, Run!") hid out for a while. The former cop was charged and convicted of murdering her detective boyfriend's ex-wife in Milwaukee. She was convicted and sent to the joint. She managed to escape and fled with an accomplice to her escape to Thunder Bay where she worked as a popular waitress. Sure enough, one of those "most wanted" type shows came on TV and before she could flee the Thunder Bay cops had her.
Camped at a city campground at Chippewa Park.
Nice facilites. Reasonable rate.
Nice sleeping weather along the lake.

Bugs were not bad. Maybe because it was cool near the lake. I think I had one or two spots with notable mosquitos along the way. I stopped on one indian reserve where the blackflies were pretty annoying. Usually I spray my riding clothes and boots with tick spray (repels, kills ticks). This time I didn't thinking it was a road ride. Picking through the woods to look at some waterfalls and camping led to my finding 3-4 ticks crawling on me during the trip. I don't think I used insect repellent more than once on the entire trip.

Cannonshot - Such a high quality report. Very interesting and educational too. Thanks so much for sharing. One thing - too bad you didn't take the short walk up to the Pigeon River Falls on the U.S. side in Grand Portage, MN. It really isn't as long as most people think (about 10 minutes of walking if memory serves) - most of it is flat, and there is a board-walk that is an easy climb up to the lookout. I have to admit that I find the Pigeon River Falls to be much more interesting looking than Kakabeka Falls. The water spills into a scenic pool surrounded by rock - it would have made a great photo for your report.
Keep it up!

Question of you, did you travel alone on this one?
Great photo journalism on this one. Made same trip couple years ago, took about the same time frame, it was priceless for me at the time.
First the Earth cooled. Next came rats, cockroaches and KLR's... and life was good.

More of Thunder Bay, Sleeping Giant, and Silver Islet.
I do like the coffee and breakfast sandwiches at Tim Hortons so when there is one around that is where I like to start the day. This one was a take out/drive through joint. The line to the drive through never let up. A very popular place. People must like those Timbits and a double double.
Back in 1904 an enormous grain elevator was built on the shore of this river in the port. The engineering firm was bragging up how this structure had the smallest foundation and the loftiest storage house in the port.
In 1926 that foundation gave way. Too close to the river. It was 2100 hours so there was only a lone millwright working at the place and he was down in the basement. He heard the beams snapping and the place busting up so he vacated as fast as he could. Within a few minutes the whole shebang slipped from the foundation into the river. It moved around a little more the next day until it was about 50 feet from where it was originally built.
They hired 100 workers to dismantle this thing. Since it might collapse at any moment, the workers got an extra $5/day hazardous duty pay.
The same engineering firm that designed the first one, designed the replacement that was put in further away from the river on a better foundation. It was completed in time for the next grain harvest.
While I was in town I read a newspaper article talking about dedicating a first spike memorial at Fort William. Pushing the railroad west was very important to Canada. As with any developing nation, they had trouble maintaining control of the west without good lines of communication. The article pointed out that with the developments in the US west and the issues in the Canadian west, had the railroad not gone through Canada may not have the shape it has today. Interesting observation.
This sign talks about a pioneer trail they worked up to get troops to the west to overcome a revolt that was a problem.
The rails are still hard at it today.
The port is doing well.
Thunder Bay port is the gateway to the west.
They have some serious shipping going on here.
I guess that giant was sleeping in this morning.
At one of the overlook parks there is a monument to the Lake Superior Regiment in WWII. There are more casualties listed there than I cared to look at. Very nice view though.
I stopped at a local armory to visit a military museum. The museum wasn't open.
Impressive rail depot.
Stopped at a couple of seaplane bases to look around.
I imagine these fuel barrels will get filled and stashed at various places out in the bush.
Terry Fox set out to run across Canada to raise money for cancer research. He lost a leg to cancer and was in remission when he ran. He heroically ran 5,373 kilometers before being forced to stop near here. He is an enduring Canadian icon representing many fine traits.
Water access.
Sign forest at an international hostel along the way.
When I came upon this sign I was reminded of a 222 mile backpacking "stroll" I took from the Yukon border to Norman Wells which is on the other MacKenzie River along the route of the old WWII Canol pipeline. Evoked pleasant memories of a fine adventure that I got to revisit in my mind as I rode along.
No comparison between the two rivers though.
OK, I guess were are close enough to the Sleeping Giant to tell the story. Nutshell version is that a native found silver and knew that if the whites found out about it there would be trouble. He hid all the silver on an islet and said he would punish anyone that squealed to the whites about the location. Nanabijou ratted out the location of the secret stash to the whites. As punishment he was turned to stone. There are a few varying versions of this legend, buy you get the idea. Sleeping Giant was voted number one of the seven wonders of Canada.
Heading out on the peninsula.
There is a harbor (harbour if you are from here) down at the end of the peninsula.
The old store runs seasonally.
Nice dock.
Miners' houses are now cottages.
Old company building.
I guess if you really want a waterfront cottage you'll find a way to wedge it in there.
The mine was actually on a very small rock out in the lake sort of like this one. It was only about 50 square meters in size and rose 2.5 meters above the lake.
The mine ran for about 16 years and made quite a haul of silver. It was tough keeping things going because the lake would tear up the extensive works needed to have workspace. The mine got to be 384 meters deep. The whole thing went to hell when a shipment of coal failed to show up before the end of the shipping season in 1884. No fuel meant the pumps couldn't keep the mine dewatered. It filled up and despite a couple of attempts to revive it, it is down for the count.
The location of the islet and the mine.

Ouimet, Red Rock, Hurkett, Nipigon
A short side trip to Quimet Canyon. Worth the trip. Nice climb to a parking area then hike across a bridge and down a trail to viewing pods.
The gorge is 330 feet deep and a little over a mile long. This thing was busted open either by the weight of advancing glaciers or the water released during their retreat.
Some ancient indian was helping Nanabijou make mountains and lakes. A part of a mountain he was moving fell onto and killed Nanabijou's daughter. The guy quickly hid her body. Nanabijou was looking for his daughter and when he sensed something underground he sent a thunderbolt to split open the ground (hence the canyon) and discovered his daughter. To punish the guy that killed her, he turned him into this piece of stone and put him into the canyon to watch Nanabijou's daughter's grave forever.
This outfit is nearby if you want to ride a zip line or some other such adventure.
This is Ontario's largest fish hatchery. It started out in 1931. Lake trout. They have a visitor center and exhibits (closed when I was there).
This closed gas station has wildlife murals on three sides. Largest mural in Canada I guess.
Stopped at the fishing docks at Hurkett. Judging from the trees growing through the hull, this vessel has been here for a while.
Red Rock doesn't have a lot going on right now.
Back in 1936 a company came in and started building a mill. They ran out of money before it was done. Someone else picked it up and eventually they ran a kraft paper operation for quite a while. It is closed now.
During WWII. Canada took some German PWs in that had been held captive in Britain. Since the incomplete mill had bunkhouses in place, someone decided to bring PWs here. They had over 1,500 prisoners here. It was barbed wired and guard towers and all that. Nonetheless, they closed the camp after a year because the bitter winter was too much for guards and prisoners alike.
There were a lot of escape attempts, although I don't know where they thought they were going. In addition to three major camps on the northshore, there were many wilderness camps where prisoners cut wood.
Here is a story about a camp closer to Marathon where there was a pretty interesting escape attempt. Same kind of things happened here as well. After the war some former PWs came here to live.
Red Rock Inn. Looks better from a distance than from up close. I think someone is working to bring it back to life.
Nipigon has some rail operations. It also has a pretty steep banked rail curve in town so trains can make speed on this winding mainline.
Most of the gas and restaurants are out on the highway, but it is worth a lap through town to look around. The old 1930s cafe.
In 1926 they started a co-op store here to try to beat down rising prices. For $5 you could buy in.
Early visits by missionaries.
Looking down the shore toward the mill at Red Rock. No road along the shore but the rails are being removed from the railbed so I anticipate a trail of some sort in the future.
I read somewhere that these bridges were the chokepoint on the Trans-Can. Looks like they rebuilt the highway bridge since that was written.

I am a father to one of the best little boys...
I am a father to one of the best little boys around, and he is one of the loves of my life. I am divorced, and I am looking for someone that I can have fun with, spend time with, and do fun things with. I enjoy a wide variety of activities, and I am always willing to try something new, but I also understand the virtue of spending quality time at home and recuperating. These are the same attributes that I would look for in any person. Mainly, I would like to find someone that I can be myself with, and not have to put up a front or act, but I do like random, off-the-wall things. I like going to concerts, and I am a huge fan of diverse music. I like to go for walks, fishing, hiking. I like to read a lot, and I'm always finding new books to explore. I love to cook, but I like going to restaurants. One of my guilty pleasures is hibachi. I like to try new things, and I am always open-minded when it comes to new opportunities. I do work a lot, but once I find something or someone worth the effort, I am very committed. If I had to give one of my biggest relationship limitations its that in the majority of my relationships, I have usually been the pursued. I am terrible at making the first move, but if you can be patient with me and give me plenty of clues then eventually I'll pick up on it. ;). I would like to find a partner to travel with. I have been around the United States, Europe, but I would love to go to Asia and Australia. I would hope a partner would be receptive to traveling as well. I am very new to sites like Match. This is new ground for me, and I hope to find someone who is willing to start a little slow. I don't want to get into anything too fast, but I am willing to see where anything can go.

Each year the Eyeson Design car show celebrates the best in automotive design from pre-war cars and motorcycles to modern tuner cars. This year the popular event turned 25 and celebrated its silver anniversary with a special circle of silver Corvettes.
Article contributed by Steve Burns
A couple weeks back we stumbled across a rare Baldwin-Motion Corvette for sale on eBay. On Father's Day we took Dad to the 24th annual Eyes on Design Car Show which is held on the scenic grounds of the Edsel and Eleanor Ford house in Grosse Pointe Shore, MI. Being an invitation-only all-car show, we didn't expect to see but just a couple of nice Corvettes in attendance. Imagine our surprise when we noticed this yellow 1970 Baldwin-Motion Phase III Corvette tucked in with a group of Yenko, Nickey, and Baldwin-Motion cars. Check out some pics of this rare bird after the jump.

SAN FRANCISCO — Between the lines, there has not been much from the Miami Heat through the first four games of this six-game trip that continues Wednesday against the Golden State Warriors.
Instead, with the Heat taking Tuesday off, it has come down to reading between the lines.
In the wake of Monday's loss to the Utah Jazz that dropped the Heat to 8-9 on the road this season and 4-6 in their last 10 overall, getting a read has proven to be its own challenge.
First there was coach Erik Spoelstra keeping guard Dwyane Wade on the bench the entire fourth quarter of Monday's 104-97 loss, when the Heat trimmed a 19-point deficit early in the final period to two with just over three minutes to play.
Asked about Spoelstra's decision, Wade said, "Coach makes the calls. I'm just the player."
He followed that up with a Tuesday Twitter post of, "The high road . . . Isn't always high . . .," which hardly added clarity to the situation.
Also reduced to spectator at the finish Monday was center Chris Bosh, who played only the final 40 seconds in the fourth quarter.
Of possibly getting back in sooner, Bosh said, "I was ready for it, but that call didn't come."
For his part, Spoelstra said it was a matter of staying with the group that gave his team life, a group that had LeBron James, Ray Allen, Rashard Lewis, Joel Anthony and Mario Chalmers on the court for all by the final 40 seconds of the quarter.
While Spoelstra did not call out his players, James offered a hint of displeasure with the Heat's starting unit, with starting power forward Udonis Haslem also held out the entire fourth quarter.

Regulators change course on fireworks rules
Water pollution regulators said Friday they will significantly alter draft fireworks regulations to accommodate widespread concerns that the rules would end pyrotechnic celebrations on July 4, New Year's Eve and for other special events.
The biggest change is a major reduction in the water monitoring mandates for fireworks shows over waterways, said David Gibson, executive officer of the San Diego Regional Water Quality Control Board. That revision could save tens of thousands of dollars per show.
"Most fireworks events would not require monitoring at all," Gibson said.
The water board has spent months crafting a pollution permit for fireworks shows, which they said must be regulated under the U.S. Clean Water Act. The initial proposal called for the permit to include water and sediment monitoring, plus an application form and filing fee of roughly $1,500.
Friday morning, before Gibson announced his agency's new approach, San Diego Mayor Jerry Sanders summed up growing frustration over the unprecedented regulations during a press briefing.
"This is probably like trying to kill an ant with a sledgehammer," Sanders said. "We have not seen any evidence ... that occasional fireworks have any impact on anything."
Gibson said the new approach is justified because his agency plans to direct some income from fireworks pollution permit fees toward a study of the issue across Southern California.
In some cases, such as the Big Bay Boom in San Diego Bay, Gibson said monitoring requirements likely would remain at a reduced rate. He also said the board still must take special precautions for the annual La Jolla fireworks show on July 4 because it's near an area formally declared by the state to have "special biological significance."
Several proposed changes will be explained in detail on Thursday, when the regional board holds a public workshop from 10 a.m. to noon about fireworks at its headquarters, 9174 Sky Park Court, San Diego.
No final decision will be made then, but it likely will be a pivotal meeting because three members of the agency's governing panel are newly appointed and will get their first chance to hear from the public on this issue. Gibson is aiming for a fireworks permitting process to be in place by spring so show organizers have time to get their papers filed for Independence Day.
Board staff members do not consider pyrotechnics to be a major source of water pollution, but they have determined that the products create contamination and therefore need a permit when used over water. Regulators cast the fireworks permit as an incremental step in water pollution controls, which first focused on the most egregious sources, such as raw sewage, and now deals with numerous smaller-scale contaminants.
Fireworks commonly include aluminum, chlorine, perchlorates, phosphorus, titanium and other compounds, regional board documents said. They also produce debris such as cardboard, wires and fuses that can pollute water bodies.
With the exception of SeaWorld San Diego, organizers of public fireworks events have been unregulated by the regional water board. It would be the first in the nation to have a permitting process for fireworks pollution, a topic of growing interest around the globe.
