Chevrolet C10 External Fuel Tank Install - Puttin' The Gas Behind You - TechWritten by on December 7, 2010
In many vintage trucks, the stock fuel tank was located behind the seat, inside the cab. While this was a very common practice for a very long time from most manufacturers, it never really made sense. Locating the fuel tank under the bed and behind the rear axle is a more suitable location for many contemporary truck builders. This location provides better weight distribution and gets the smell of gas out of the cab, which are two definite advantages. On later trucks this location might interfere with the stock positioning of the spare tire, but on most older, vintage trucks the spare tire was mounted on the bedside anyway. Oh well, whatever the reason you choose to move the gas tank is up to you, just be sure that you do it correctly and most importantly, safely.
On my '68 Chevy C10 the previous owner had replaced the gas tank, but did it with an OEM-style tank. Not only does this take up room in the cab, but if it's not vented correctly the fuel smell lingers in the cab. Additionally, with the 400-horse stroker motor under the hood a rather noisy electric fuel pump had been installed just under and outside of the cab. Perhaps I'm mellowing (or maybe getting soft) in my old age, but I wanted to get the excess noise and the gas smell out of the passenger compartment.
The first step is determining what size tank will fit into the proposed location. Depending on your truck, there may be N.O.S. or reproduction optional auxiliary tanks, or you may need to find a universal tank that fits your requirements. For my '68 Stepside, I chose a universal pickup tank (PN TAN-UT) manufactured by Tanks, Inc. and sold through Yogi's. The tank has a 14-gallon capacity, fits real well where I want to mount it, and includes a rollover vent valve that will stop the flow of fuel to the engine should the truck get upside down.
Universal mounting straps are also included with the tank, but I chose to use some beefier strap steel that I had on hand. In either case, you will need to determine how high or low the tank should be mounted in the truck's frame and bend the straps accordingly. I had the bed off the truck for some unrelated bodywork, making the gas tank installation easier, but you can probably leave the bed on to install a new tank. Since the bed was off during the installation I measured the height of the bed's cross sill to determine how much room would be available above the tank, yet remain underneath the bottom of the bed wood. With that information, I supported the tank on a floor jack at the desired location and measured the necessary dimensions for the two mounting straps that would support the tank between the two rearmost crossmembers of the chassis. The strap material was then taken to Morfab Customs so that the strap material (11/2x1/8-inch thick) could be bent in a sheetmetal brake for nice, crisp bends. The straps could be bent in a vise if necessary, but those results may leave a bit to be desired.
Back in the garage, I positioned the mounting straps between the two crossmembers so that they would align laterally with the respective grooves in the tank. I then set the tank in place and double-checked my measurements. Locations for 3/8-inch mounting bolts were then determined and center-punched toward the forward and rearward ends of the mounting straps. The mounting straps were intentionally left long on the ends, but will be trimmed later. Although the gas tank will not bounce out while the bed is on, I chose to add a top strap that mounts to each mounting strap above the tank to minimize vertical movement of the tank since the tank is not physically attached to the mounting straps. Before trimming the mounting straps, I used one to mount the rollover vent valve, which should be mounted in a vertical orientation and as high as possible above the tank. The rollover vent valve connects to the tank via a length of rubber fuel hose.
The next step is to relocate the existing electric fuel pump closer to the new tank. Even though it was not mounted this way previously, the fuel pump should be mounted vertically (the inlet and outlet path should be horizontal) for optimum performance. It should also be mounted so that the inlet and outlet are lower than the lowest portion of the tank or as close to that as safely possible. Using some of the strap steel that was left over, I fabricated a bracket that mounts the fuel pump accordingly. The fuel pump is somewhat protected by the rear axle housing and the fuel tank, so it should be safe since this will be a paved-surface-only vehicle. For an off-road vehicle, this location might be cause for some concern, but with the typical ride height of an off-road vehicle it most likely would not be a problem there either.
With the tank and the electric fuel pump mounted securely, it was time to route the fuel line. This truck uses a carbureted engine, so the fuel line consists of both 3/8-inch rubber fuel hose and 3/8-inch steel hard line, but does not use a return line. I used a section of rubber hose to connect the fuel pickup fitting to the inlet of the electric fuel pump. Another section of rubber hose connects the outlet of the electric fuel pump to the hard line that runs along the inside of the passenger-side framerail. From the end of the hard line, a short section of rubber hose is used to connect an inline fuel filter and finally to the carburetor. To prevent the fuel line from vibrating or chafing, the steel hard line is clamped in place with rubber-coated line clamps in multiple locations. Now I just need to mount the fuel sender and related wiring. Be sure to ground the filler neck and the fuel level sender. Oh yeah, still gotta remove the original tank and fill the filler hole. The fun continues.

While the bed does not have to be removed to install the new tank, you must compensate for it when determining the correct height of the tank. The filler neck will eventually protrude through the bed wood floor. The wood strips shown in the photo represent the height of the cross sills and the bed wood floor. When finished, the flange around the filler neck will be mounted to the bed wood with the filler cap slightly below the surface.After mocking up the desired location, measurements for the mounting straps were taken. To make nice, clean bends in the mounting straps I took the mounting strap material to Morfab Customs so that it could be bent in a sheetmetal brake.The mounting straps can now be set into position, that is, between the two rearmost chassis crossmembers. Any excess length of the mounting strips will eventually be cut off.Set the tank in place so that the mounting straps seat themselves in the indentions in the tank. Center the tank between the framerails and adjust the mounting straps for the best fit. Then mark the locations for bolts to be installed.Use a center punch to mark the holes and then drill the holes for mounting bolts to the appropriate size for the hardware you will be using....then reinstall the tank and determine the mounting location for the front end of the mounting straps. Center-punch and drill the holes for the appropriate sized hardware. I chose to use the excess from the passenger-side strap as a mounting bracket for the rollover vent valve. The driver-side mounting strap was trimmed to length.To prevent the tank from moving vertically, I used additional mounting strap material to create two top straps. Those were bent approximately 90 degrees on each end, holes were drilled, and secured with 1/4-20 bolts and lock nuts.
If you are using a stock-type mechanical fuel pump, you do not need to change it. However, I needed to move the electric fuel pump closer to the new tank location. Two short pieces of mounting strap material were used to hang the fuel pump from the forward chassis crossmember.Things start getting congested toward the back end of the truck, but it does all fit with more clearance than it appears in this particular photo.The hose near the middle of the photo is run between the rollover vent valve and the tank. The hose at the top of the photo runs between the fuel pickup tube in the tank and the inlet side of the electric fuel pump. To avoid kinking the hose at the end of the crossmember, I bent a short piece of steel fuel line into a "U" shape. Another short piece of rubber hose then connects to the fuel pump. The outlet side of the fuel pump then connects to a piece of hard line that runs along the framerail.To keep the fuel line in place to prevent it from vibrating or chafing, several rubber-cushioned line clamps were installed to secure the steel fuel line to the chassis. The smaller line below is the rear brake line that will be replaced at a later date as part of a four wheel disc brake installation.Be sure to drain the existing tank into an approved gasoline container. Then remove the mounting bolts and remove the tank. Remove any extra fuel lines that have now been replaced.

Painting the Columbia River Gorge at Skamania Lodge
Recently, Skamania Lodge hosted an event where local meeting planners were able to come to lodge and be artists for the day. The instructors were from Vine Gogh Artist Bar and Studio, based in Portland, Oregon.
During our outdoor paining session, Vine Gogh's art teacher provided step by step instruction on painting the spectacular view of the Columbia River Gorge as seen from the Lodge's front lawn. It took each of our participants approximately 2.5 hours to paint our spectacular view and each person left with their painting.
Vine Gogh is Portland's original guided artist bar for the non-artist. Opened in 2011 by local artists, the studio offers step-by-step painting classes on canvas. But wait, there's more… the painting classes are set to great music, AND they serve liquid encouragement via a variety of wines, beer, and hard cider to get you in the "creative mood".
This is a really fun activity and the great news is that you do not need to be a Michelangelo; this is art for the non-artist! Classes are posted on their calendar and are open to the public. Each class is approximately 2.5 hours start to finish.
So if you find yourself in the mood for something new and different, check out Vine Gogh on their website and explore your inner artist.
And, if you are planning a meeting at Skamania Lodge, we would be happy to arrange a painting session for your group activity.

text: Tesla dismisses report of 'bricked' roadsters Autopia 23 February 12 by Chuck Squatriglia Jim Merithew/Wired.com Tesla Motors is downplaying a claim that completely draining the battery in its electric sports car "bricks" the vehicle, a problem that could in theory apply to any electric vehicle and is best avoided by simply plugging the car in regularly.In what is sure to become another rallying cry for critics of electric vehicles, a report published by Michael Degusta of The Understatement claims fully discharging the Roadster's massive 53-kilowatt-hour lithium-ion pack effectively kills the battery, rendering the car inoperable. This, he claims, can happen even if the car isn't being driven."A Tesla Roadster that is simply parked without being plugged in will eventually become a 'brick,'" Degusta, who has placed a $5,000 (£3,185) deposit for Tesla's forthcoming Model X crossover, writes. "The parasitic load from the car's always-on subsystems continually drains the battery and if the battery's charge is ever totally depleted, it is essentially destroyed."Degusta claimed, without offering proof, the forthcoming Model S sedan could experience the same problem. He notes in the post that he interviewed an unnamed Tesla regional service manager who identified five unnamed Roadster owners who have experienced the problem in a variety of circumstances, including using a 100-foot extension cord to charge a Roadster. One owner, Max Drucker, provided Wired with an email he sent to Telsa Motors CEO Elon Musk saying his battery was rendered "dead and unrecoverable" after he left the unplugged car in storage for six weeks."I had no idea I could be putting my car at risk," Drucker told Wired.com by phone. "This was an accident. I didn't know."Tesla Motors downplayed Degusta's report, arguing the issue he raises isn't a technical problem so much as an issue of properly maintaining the vehicle. The company likens the need to maintain a minimal charge to ensuring there is sufficient oil in a conventional engine."All automobiles require some level of owner care," the company said in a statement. "For example, combustion vehicles require regular oil changes or the engine will be destroyed. Electric vehicles should be plugged in and charging when not in use for maximum performance. All batteries are subject to damage if the charge is kept at zero for long periods of time."The issue comes at a critical time for Tesla Motors and for electric vehicles. Tesla is preparing to ramp up production of the Model S sedan and recently announced plans to launch the Model X in 2014. More broadly, electric vehicles from Ford and others will follow the Nissan Leaf and Mitsubishi i to market.Drucker, first identified by Green Car Reports, took delivery of Roadster No. 340 in May 2009, more than a year after placing a $50,000 (£31,860) deposit for the vehicle. He said he has driven the car 13,000 miles and followed Tesla's service guidelines. He moved into a rental house while his home was being renovated and parked his Roadster in the garage, leaving it with a 25 percent state of charge. He didn't touch it for six weeks and found it dead when he attempted to start it earlier this month."It wouldn't do anything," he said. "It wouldn't even unlock. It took four guys two hours to get the car out of my garage and onto a flatbed truck. The car wouldn't even roll."He sent the car to the Tesla store in Los Angeles. Three days later, Drucker said, Tesla told him the battery must be replaced at a cost of $32,000 (£20,400) plus tax and labour. He said Tesla told him the warranty will not cover the repair, and his car remains at the Tesla store."I'm going to sell the car for salvage," Drucker said. "I'm done with this Roadster."Drucker complains that Tesla has not adequately warned owners of the risk or done enough to mitigate it.Tesla Motors spokesman Ricardo Reyes would not comment beyond the company's statement, but Tesla's point that batteries require a minimum level of maintenance by owners was echoed by EV advocates and Thilo Koslowski, an auto analyst with Gartner."This isn't all that surprising," Koslowski said. "This is what you'd expect with batteries. The same thing will happen with the battery used by your internal combustion engine. If you don't maintain it, it will go dead. The issue here for Tesla is the battery is of course a significant part of the drivetrain. It is very expensive, and there are liability issues." Degusta wrote that the only solution is replacing the pack, which can cost more than $30,000 (£19,000). Koslowski said it is possible to revive a "dead" battery. However, it is a complicated, time-consuming process and there's a risk the battery was damaged by being depleted. This makes it unlikely an automaker would be willing to revive a dead pack.

The way I do it is I make my Walls, not as 1' or 2' thick lines, but rather I draw them all out as 0' thick lines, and then I multiply them into a single polygon. Thus I don't have the issue with the 'overlap' unless I specifically want it to.

It's off to a great start. looking forward to seeing this move along. One suggestion would be to blur the edges of the water contours a little more to make it look like they blend from one to another.
This is my second attempt at a city. The basic style is the same as for Iramir, but now I'm trying to be more accurate in the placement of buildings and streets; which is easier because this city is way smaller (1px = 2m).
The part I have drawn is the "lower" city, it should be a mix of poor and working/middle class. I tried to convey the idea through colours, house size and streets path.
Suggestions and criticism wanted.
It's off to a great start. looking forward to seeing this move along. One suggestion would be to blur the edges of the water contours a little more to make it look like they blend from one to another.
Thanks landorl. I tried to blur the water edges but the result does not show much. How would you do it (I'm quite new to PS).
This is the updated version, with a close-up (2x) of the city proper (for some reason, I like the older part, downhill, better than the last I drew). All those bumps in the north should be barrows (burials), but I am not really satisfied of how they look.
Let me know.
Before you call it finished you might want to address some graphic design - border, cropping out all of that useless space, little pictures of individual buildings or people, stuff like that. The focus should be on the city and that lake takes up a whole lotta space that really doesn't need to be shown.

Unfortunately, my skill with photoshop is very limited, so I am not really able to do much post-processing.
The lake is actually a big river as it reaches the ocean; since the two shores are roughly 1,5km apart, showing it takes a lot of space. I planned to use part of that space for the legend of notable buildings. The scale of the full-size document I'm working on is 1px=75cm, so anything smaller than houses would hardly be visible (and completely invisible in the scaled down version). I could add boats and ships, but I am not really able to draw them.
But what do you think of the city itself? Size, street-building ratio etc? Is it "believable"?
The layout is a bit rigid and linear in a modern way but is the question is: is it good for a first try? The answer is yes, very good for a first try. It looks like something Steel General might have done in his early days. The gap between this style and Sheinar by a2area is just practice so keep at it, man. You're doing good so far.

A nice start - do keep it up. You're right - that expanse of river is ideal for lots of annotation. Think though - is there a reason you need to show the opposite bank? Are you going to depict anything there? If not, you could accomplish the same thing with an inset overview zoomed out 10X or so.
I like the shacks tumbled at the bottom of the hill. And the way some of your citizens have brightly painted roofs. I'd tone down the intensity, but that's just me. The street grid is awfully regular, compared to a medieval earthly city, but maybe you just have a really really orderly society. It's not jarring, just different.
The farmland is good. Some new city designers forget how very much cultivated land it takes to feed thousands of city-dwellers. You're doing well, by implying the farms go on further to the southeast. The forest and shrubs are scattered nicely -what'd you use to generate them?
Thanks for your advices.
That the grid appears so regular is a problem, it should be regular in some places, but for example the lower part of "downtown" should be "organic". If it appears not, then it's wrong. But I find difficult to obtain a properly natural layout with the method I am using (that is, not drawing each single house but mostly erasing from bigger blocks, which obviously is a big time saver).
The other bank of the river would contain cultivated land and pastures, though perhaps not in that exact area, so near to the sea. As can be seen in the regional map I posted a while ago, the area around the city is "cultivated" (though of course on the regional map it does not imply that all that area is a uniform set of fields) for many leagues south, and somewhat less in all the other directions (even north, just not in the immediate proximity of the burial ground). I could depict something here, probably some shepherds huts, but would not be really relevant, I just wanted to show how big the river was. Besides being eponimous, the river is really a central "character" in the region.
The forest where done using a brush in photoshop with some randomness of shape and size. The shrubs, which should not really be shrubs but proper trees (each one is between 5 and 10 metres in "diameter", so not that small), are generated by hand one by one, except the straight lines which are done with a stroke on a path.
The brightly colored roofs are because this particular people have the custom of painting their commercial buildings in noticeable colours.
Here an adjourned version (though done before reading the last comments):

Ok.. I was trying to "deregulate" my housing pattern, when after a couple of hours of work photoshop crashed and the changes were lost. Mayhap it is a sign from the gods of mapping.

Summary:Stanley Yelnats is an unusual hero with dogged bad luck stemming from an ancient family curse. Perpetually in the wrong place at the wrong time, Stanley is unfairly sentenced to months of detention at Camp Green Lake for a crime he didn't commit. There, he and his campmates--Squid, Armpit, ZigZag, Magnet, X-Ray and Zero--are forced by the menacing warden and her right-hand men Mr. Sir and Mr. Pendanski to dig holes in order to build character. Nobody knows the real reason they're digging all these holes, but Stanley soon begins to question why the warden is so interested in anything "special" about the boys' find.

Ohio 7-year-old girl reels in rare, ancient Bowfin for first catch
Biologist says fish caught is long-in-the-tooth
PERRY TWP., Ohio - Tip Pullin considers his jaunts to Sippo Lake an opportunity; not just to relax at his favorite pastime--fishing--but also as the perfect chance to teach younger generations that angling for native Ohio fish is every bit more fun than a video game.
Pullin's goddaughter Hajile Danzy is his latest protégé.
"Today, see, I'm trying to teach her how to use an open-face reel," said Pullin.
But it was a closed-reel Saturday that Hajile cast after just a click of the button that her newly found skill produced something special on her hook. One that only a 7-year-old's luck could.
"I told her to watch it, the bobber went down. She reeled it in. She had a monster," said Pullin.
The fish that Hajile Danzy pulled onto the dock was a fighter, so Pullin had to give her a hand.
"I had to take the reel. It was big, like a catfish fighting. But it wasn't a catfish, we weren't sure what it was. Nobody knew for sure around the lake, not even the ranger," said Pullin.
The fish, about 14 inches long, had a head shaped like a snake, its eyes set close. And the teeth ...plenty of little biters.
"I thought it was a snakefish," said Pullin.
Matt Wolfe, a fisheries biologist with the Ohio Department of Wildlife, says the fish is a Bowfin, a native fish species to Ohio that prefers leafy areas of fresh water rivers and streams. In fact, it may be one of the oldest species now thriving in Ohio.
"This fish dates back before bass, bluegill, walleye were even around. Definitely an ancient species," said Wolfe. "For being a first catch, it's very unique. You don't see many Bowfin caught unless you're bass fishing. Being her first fish, I'm sure she was quite shocked with all the teeth that came up associated with it."
It's rarity to find its way to a hook often catches anglers by surprise, partly because it prefers small fish as its regular diet. Hajile and her "poppy" Tip Pullin just happened to be using a minnow as bait Saturday.
Wolfe said it's important for people fishing to not confuse the invasive Snakehead with the native Bowfin.
"Bowfins are unique. If you catch them, definitely let them go. Give them a chance to survive. If you do see something that looks like a Bowfin, but it's not quite a Bowfin, and does have some different colorations on it, it might actually be a Snakehead, and Northern Snakehead in Ohio are a problem species," said Wolfe.
Wolfe asks that if anglers catch Northern Snakehead fish to discard them and report where they've found them.
"Northern Snakeheads have a tendency to invade small ponds and overpopulate them and actually eat all the fish in it," added Wolfe. "The distinguishing feature of the Bowfin from the Snakehead is a black spot on the Bowfin's tail."
Hajile's fish had that very spot on its tail. Wanting to keep the fish she left it in a bait bucket her godfather bought for her. It lasted until Wednesday morning. It's bright green color then lost.
Wolfe says there is help for those unsure of what they have hooked.
"If you are not sure if it's a native Bowfin or a non-native Northern Snakehead, go to our website at www.wildohio.gov and there's a good picture diagram on whether there is a native Bowfin, or something else," said Wolfe. "They're very similar in the head and body shape, though their fins are a little bit different, the key characteristic is that dot on the tail. We definitely want to know where those Snakeheads are. Do not put them back in the water. Report those at 1-800-WILDLIFE, or call your local district office here in Akron. It's 330-644-3293."

Which is worse: Reese Witherspoon's "Do you know my name?" or Jennifer Aniston's "bridezilla" wedding delay?
I've been a Witherspoon fan for a long time -- "Sweet Home, Alabama" and "Legally Blonde" are two of my favorite "chick flicks" -- and I was never a "Friends" fan, especially with all the drama about Aniston and her "The Rachel" hairdo.
But there's no accounting for the taste of the masses as the trials and tribulations of both dominate what's trending online on Tuesday night.
By now everyone knows that Witherspoon and her husband Jim Toth were stopped by police in Atlanta early Friday morning and he was arrested for DUI. She tried to defend her husband by playing the "Do you know who I am?" card.
Bad answer, in my opinion. Only thing worse she could have said is "Do you know who my father is?"
She got herself arrested for disorderly conduct when she got out of the car which, by the way, was a Ford Fusion, not some fancy-schmancy Mercedes or Porsche.
What she actually said was "Do you know my name?" to which the police officer replied, "No, I don't need to know your name."
Then she said "You're about to find out who I am" and later said "You are going to be on the national news."
It goes on and I feel badly for her because she's a "fixer" and she was just trying to help her husband. I don't think it was all about "Hollywood arrogance."
Now, Aniston, in my opinion, is another matter.
Ever since Brad Pitt left Aniston -- his wife of five years -- for Angelina Jolie, we've been inundated with how Aniston is doing, how she is feeling, who's she dating now? They were divorced in 2005.
OK, is she the first woman ever to have a man leave her for another woman? And personally, Brad Pitt has never been in my Top 50. I'm more of a John Ritter or Tommy Lee Jones kinda girl.
But I digress.
I bring Aniston, 44, up because she was back in the "news" Tuesday because her upcoming wedding is suffering a delay because she and fiancé Justin Theroux are apparently a "bridezilla and a groomzilla."
The Daily Mail stated Tuesday that the couple just can't agree on what size their wedding should be. Aniston wants a big Hollywood bash, which could be because she wants to top "Brangelina's" upcoming wedding.
But Theroux, 41, thinks that it would be best to have a smaller, more intimate ceremony. Apparently neither one of them will give in to the other's wishes, so the wedding will be delayed for a few months.
Now doesn't that sound like a great start?
Aniston said she hasn't even picked out her wedding dress yet, so maybe she is waiting to see what Angelina is going to wear.
Now I ask you, why are people even interested in Aniston? I only wrote about this because I am flummoxed.

Angel Baker Holding Pie
Personalized Christmas Ornament$13.50
Pie crust is one of those dishes that requires technique and persistence. This personalized baker ornament knows the virtue of patience as has the proof in her All-American cherry pie that she has just pulled out of the oven, the smell wafting through the kitchen, calling the family to the dinner table. A meal isn't complete until dessert is served and boy this homemade pie is certainly worth waiting for! Some on the go moms still have time to spend in the kitchen measuring ingredients precisely and adding a little pinch of this and a dash of that to make the most delicious desserts like warm cherry pie fresh out of the oven.
Material: Resin

Amory Lorch
this wiki
- "I judged you might be good for something more than brutalizing peasants. I see I overestimated you."
- ―Tywin Lannister to Amory Lorch
Amory Lorch is a recurring character in the second season. He is played by Fintan McKeown and debuts in "What is Dead May Never Die." Ser Amory Lorch is a knight fighting for House Lannister in the War of the Five Kings. He was killed by Jaqen H'ghar at Harrenhal.
Ser Amory Lorch is a landed knight of House Lorch, a knightly house sworn to House Lannister. He has been a loyal vassal of the Lannisters for many years. The sigil of his House is a black manticore on a red field.[1]
Season 2
Lorch is raiding in the Riverlands when he is approached by a Gold Cloak with a warrant for the royal bastard Gendry. They have been run off by Yoren and his Night's Watch recruits who are harboring the boy. Lorch confronts Yoren's group and attacks them when they refuse to give up Gendry. He kills Yoren personally after his men have subdued him and then imprisons the survivors, ordering them moved to be taken to Harrenhal. He does not realize that Arya Stark and Gendry are among them. He questions them about Gendry and is tricked into believing that the slain Lommy Greenhands was his target because he was carrying Gendry's bull's head helm.[2]
Lorch and his men deliver the prisoners to Ser Gregor Clegane at Harrenhal. Ser Gregor oversees the torture of the captives, killing several of them. When Lord Tywin Lannister returns to Harrenhal he ends the interrogations and orders the prisoners put to work, criticizing his men for wasting valuable manpower.[3]
Lorch attends a war council held by Lord Tywin. Tywin criticizes his men for underestimating Robb Stark and demands that they devise a new strategy. Lorch reports rumors from spies that there is discontent in Robb's camp. Tywin is dismissive, saying that discontent is a part of war and that the very same spies would report the same from the Lannister side.[4]
Ser Amory is chastized by Lord Tywin during a war council after the knight's illiteracy causes a letter meant for Lord Damon of House Marbrand to be sent to Lord Marlin of House Dormund, a vassal of House Stark. Later he catches Arya Stark with a stolen letter and tries to seize her. She escapes and names Amory to the assassin Jaqen H'ghar. Ser Amory is killed with a poisoned dart outside of Lord Tywin's chambers.[5]

In the books
In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, Ser Amory Lorch is a noted servant of Lord Tywin Lannister and a member of House Lorch, a knightly house sworn to Casterly Rock. During the Sack of King's Landing at the end of Robert's Rebellion, Ser Amory Lorch and Ser Gregor Clegane were assigned to eliminate the last scions of House Targaryen, breaking into the royal apartments and brutally killing Prince Rhaegar's wife, Elia Martell, and their children, Aegon and Rhaenys, an act that has marred the reputation of both.
Lorch killed Rhaenys by stabbing her about fifty times. Even Tywin considered that the manner was overly brutal. He asked Lorch why killing a four year old girl required so many thrusts, and Lorch answered that she kicked him and would not stop screaming. Tywin commented that if Lorch had half the brain a turnip has, he would have calmed Rhaenys with a few sweet words and used a soft silk pillow to smother her.
In the books, Ser Amory comes into conflict with Yoren while hunting down the Brotherhood Without Banners instead of Gendry. Although Yoren repeatedly assures Lorch that his caravan has nothing to do with the Brotherhood, Lorch picks a fight with him without any provocation or reason.
There is no mentioning in the books that Lorch is illiterate.
Lorch is not one of the names Arya gives to Jaqen, and was not killed by him. After Roose Bolton took Harrenhal, he and Vargo Hoat had Lorch thrown into the bear pit, where he was torn apart. Arya considered that just punishment for Yoren's death.

Ron Binz, President Barack Obama's nominee to head the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, has courted controversy just about as long has he has been involved in utility regulation.
In 1984, his first try at a seat on the Colorado Public Utilities Commission was blocked by Republican lawmakers who saw him as too avid a consumer advocate.
Three decades later, Binz is galvanizing opponents and supporters over an appointment to a usually low-profile federal regulatory commission.
Critics see Binz as an activist regulator hostile to fossil fuels. Advocates believe his support of renewable energy and regulatory reform are just what the country needs.
On Tuesday, the 66-year-old Binz is set to appear before a U.S. Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee on his FERC nomination. The hearing is expected to be fractious.
"Everything has become polarized, even a technical agency like FERC," said Marc Spitzer, a former commissioner. "No one knows what it does, but everyone is lining up."
The commission, which regulates power lines, pipelines and wholesale energy prices, is seen as an emerging force in shaping the nation's energy future.
"The grid is changing, power generation is changing, and the FERC is going to have to deal with that," said Allison Clements, a senior attorney with Natural Resources Defense Council, a national environmental group.
Even Spitzer, now a Washington, D.C., attorney specializing in energy issues, said, "It isn't the sleepy FERC anymore."
And that, critics and supporters say, is why the nomination has attracted such heat.
"There will definitely be moments where a new chairman — one with clear and definitive opinions — could put his thumb on the scales and make it really uncomfortable for some and not others," said Michael McKenna, a Washington energy lobbyist.
The Wall Street Journal editorial page shot the first salvo, dubbing Binz "the most important and radical Obama nominee you've never heard of."
The San Francisco-based GreenTech Action Fund, a political-action committee backing renewable-energy initiatives, hired a public-relations firm to counter Binz's critics.
Binz is unlikely to get support from Republican senators on the committee, staffers say.
Two key Democrats, West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin and Louisiana Sen. Mary Landrieu, who are facing tough re-election races, are withholding their judgment on Binz.
"He faces a very tough climb, and Sen. Manchin has serious concerns," said Manchin spokesman Jonathan Kott.
Landrieu has not yet taken a position, spokesman Matthew Lehner said in an e-mail.
Binz is no stranger to such controversy.
In 1984, Binz, a college math instructor and utility consultant to consumer groups, was nominated to the Colorado PUC by Democratic Gov. Dick Lamm.
Lamm was seeking more consumer representation, but a campaign by the electricity and telephone utility companies thwarted the Binz nomination.
Lamm blamed the electric utility — Public Service Co. of Colorado — saying it had used "sleazy tactics."
Four months later, Lamm made Binz the first director of the state Office of Consumer Counsel.
As consumer counsel, Binz opposed attempts by the telephone utility Mountain Bell to rewrite state laws. He also campaigned to remove the troubled Fort St. Vrain nuclear power plant from customer rates.
The plant was eventually converted to natural gas.
In 2007, Binz got a second chance at the Colorado PUC when Gov. Bill Ritter tapped him to serve as its chairman.
"We were looking to transform the energy dynamic in Colorado," said Ritter, who now heads the Center for the New Energy Economy at Colorado State University.
"The goal was to transition our energy portfolio to cleaner, affordable energy," Ritter said. "Ron Binz was part of that."
Under Binz, the commission adopted new energy-efficiency requirements and approved utility plans for the expansion of wind and solar power.
It was, however, Binz's role in the passage and implementation of the Clean Air-Clean Jobs Act that created the most furor.
The law created incentives for Xcel Energy to close old coal-fired plants and switch to natural gas to cut urban pollution.
The Colorado Mining Association and the mining companies in the state opposed the plan.
E-mails obtained by the association under the Colorado Open Records Act — and reviewed by The Denver Post — showed that Binz was involved in negotiating the bill up to its final hours.
"Binz was an activist, negotiating a bill he would then implement," said Amy Olive Cook, energy director at the Independence Institute, a Denver-based free-market think tank.
The mining association's motion for Binz to recuse himself from ruling on the plan at the PUC was rejected by the commission.
The industry sued in district court to block Binz, but a judge upheld the regulator's right to be involved in legislative negotiations.
Binz was key in the negotiations to limit how Xcel could charge customers for construction expenses, said John Nielsen, energy program manager for the environmental group Western Resource Advocates.
"It's wonky, but it's important," Nielsen said.
In the wake of the bill's passage and its implementation, which included closing six coal units and nearly $1 billion in natural-gas investments, Republican legislators filed ethics complaints against Binz.
In February 2011, Binz announced that he would not seek reappointment to the commission.
The Colorado Independent Ethics Commission ruled the following December that Binz had violated ethics rules by accepting $1,000 in travel expenses to a conference from a natural-gas company — but it was not a breach of public trust because Binz received no personal gain.
Since leaving the Colorado utilities commission, Binz has been a prominent author and speaker on utility issues, appearing in forums with executives such as James Rogers, chief executive of Duke Energy, the largest U.S. utility.
Binz initiated the Utilities 2020 project to look for ways to change the investor-owned-utility business model with a grant from the San Francisco-based Energy Foundation.
The GreenTech Action Fund — which paid for the public-relations firm for Binz — is a grantee of the Energy Foundation, according to Amy Fuerstenau, the action fund's executive director.
Binz also has advocated that state regulators operate in a "legislative mode" to find solutions to future challenges.
One Binz statement that has drawn fire is that, based on current technology and with no way to capture carbon-dioxide emissions, natural-gas-fired generation will be "a dead end" after 2035.
"The idea of an activist ideologue heading FERC is troubling," said Thomas Pyle, president of the American Energy Alliance, a conservative political-action group.
Supporters counter that Binz is just what the FERC needs.
"There is a lot of change coming to the power sector," said Dan Bakal, director of the electric-power program at Ceres, a nonprofit promoting sustainable corporate practices.
"Ron Binz has the experience and skill to deal with that," Bakal said.
The Senate committee has been sifting through Binz's record, said Robert Dillon, a staffer for Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski, the committee's ranking Republican.
"Since he's been in the public spotlight since the 1970s, he's given speeches, interviews, positions," Dillon said. "There is quite a bit of information to go through."

What is the ferc?
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission was for many years as sleepy a backwater agency as there was in Washington, D.C. The commission approved siting and permits for power lines and pipelines. It licensed state and local hydropower projects and regulated wholesale electricity prices and interstate natural gas sales.
But beginning in 2005, the FERC started to become "a big deal," said former commissioner Mark Spitzer.
The Bush administration's 2005 Energy Policy Act directed the commission to expedite oil and gas development permits. Under the Obama administration, concerns about greenhouse gas emissions linked to climate change are also impacting the FERC.
In 2011, 42 percent of the nation's electricity came from burning coal, making it the country's largest greenhouse gases source.
Under John Wellinghoff, the outgoing chairman, the FERC took some steps to bolster energy efficiency and management and create market opportunities for new flexible resources to balance the grid.
"We have a 100-year-old electric system," said Allison Clements, director of the Sustainable FERC Project at the Natural Resources Defense Council. "The grid has to be overhauled. We need new transmission and cleaner generation." Mark Jaffe, The Post

Two fridays ago, our friend Ami invited Keren and I to go on a sunset sail. I'd never done anything like this before and it fulfilled all my expectations. The sailboat left from South Street Seaport and headed out towards Ellis Island. Everyone showed up in their very best nautical attire. Note to all sailors or future passengers, people get crazy on their boats in the Hudson: totally debaucherous (two women flashed our boat, eeeeee). But getting to shoot from a sailboat was rad. Also I only posted the image of the old Chinese couple on the steps of the port for my friend Jamie Daughters; he's been trying to achieve that sitting pose forever, and this guy does it so naturally it hurts.

Chess Game
Personalized Christmas Ornament$11.95
Checkmate! This shield shaped ornament depicts the black and white squares of a chessboard and three chess pieces. The white chess pieces shown are the knight, king and bishop. Chess enthusiasts study the game and learn the methods of sacrificing pieces to attack and win the game that has been around since the 6th century. This game is popular all over the world and before the internet, people often played games by mail, posting one move at a time, anxiously waiting for the post office to deliver their opponent's position. Chess tournaments are still played even though computers have replaced the need for an opposing player, and a computer even beat a chess world champion in 1997!

So ... what's the method we're seeing here? Photoshoppe? It's looking nice, btw.
this is the second map I'm drawing for a book commission (first one is here).
this one is a city situated on a small island in the middle of a lake, with canals for streets, and a huge tower complex for the royal castle.
currently, the lake is completely dry, parts of the city are deserted, & slums are built on the dry lake bed.
the biggest tower should have a dragon-shaped-top.
here's the initial concept (we tried to make the entire city dragon shaped):
then we changed for something a bit more reasonable:
and here is the actual map drawing:
I'll update some more when there's some progress to show.
So ... what's the method we're seeing here? Photoshoppe? It's looking nice, btw.
it's mostly PS.
the perspective lines were done in MSPAINT, it's actually easier - i make a huge canvas, play around with the perspective until i can "frame" the city somewhere in the middle, then magnify it & add as a layer in photoshop.
Beautiful, just beautiful. I love a good perspective drawing and this one looks like it's going to be awesome, plain and simple.
Your style is so cool. I have more than a few from your gallery in my 'inspiration' folder. This one should be great. Can't wait to see it done!
It is, it's looking really nice!

This holiday card is courtesy of my friend Zel McCarthy. I'll let it marinate for a bit.
This most obvious example of equating women to objects of consumption tries to downplay the offense by making the image as absurd as possible, and by utilizing the tag lines popular culture women's magazines to give the viewer a chuckle. By sexualizing the meat, and by sexualizing it in a distinctly feminine way, both women and animals get to be conquered and devoured! Women are downgraded to turkeys, and turkeys are eaten. What I think is particularly interesting about the decision to put the feminized turkey on the cover of the magazine is how the image then also gets to denigrate the element of women that our culture has deemed most important – trying to stay "hot and moist" [shudder], the best ways to look "delicious" [you want to look so attractive that others just can't resist gnawing on you], the "must have" items of the moment [because consumerism is such a female issue?] and of course, most vitally, the breasts – the most important part of a woman AND a turkey.
Of course, the emphasis on looks is something that I often disparage about "women's" magazines, and obviously consider to be dangerous and harmful. However. This turkey ad is mocking these headlines not because they are offensive or denigrating to women, which they are – they are mocking them simply because they are female, because they have taken the spotlight as the primary female concerns of our culture, and the ad gets to make it look like women are both ridiculous for buying into these themes, while also promoting them by creating an object of appeal based on these themes. It's as though they're saying "women are so silly for promoting themselves sexually, for focusing on hotness and perkiness and the need to appear deliciously irresistible" while also saying "look at how hot and sexy and perky this lady turkey is – so hot and sexy and perky that she's simply irresistible."
Generally, we separate the meat we're eating from its former 'self', the animal, otherwise there would be more difficulty in consuming meat with such regularity and frequency. Interestingly, when the meat anthropomorphized into the form of a woman, it remains marketable – women are routinely objectified, and also are separated from their self and human identity in doing so. Combining two beings, a turkey and a woman, that are both customarily presented as being without a meaningful character and for the viewer or eater's pleasure, makes this card seem totally acceptable for raking in some holiday profits (apparently).
If you're interested in reading more about the connection between the treatment of animals and feminism, and the real foundation for the point I just made, I recommend the work of Carol Adams. Her books, The Sexual Politics of Meat and The Pornography of Meat are great works, and even if you aren't interested in animal rights or vegetarianism and how one might relate them to feminism, the books do a great job of dissecting the overlap of social and political issues around the processing of meat for consumption, the treatment of women, and the advertising of both.
For real: Happy Thanksgiving! I hope you all have a great holiday!

A lawyer for Jana Winter of Fox News asked a Colorado judge to delay the April 1 hearing while Winter asks a New York state court to overturn the order for her to appear.
Winter's request was made public Tuesday. The judge hasn't said when he'll rule.
Winter reported that suspect James Holmes sent a psychiatrist a notebook foreshadowing the July 20 attack, which killed 12 and injured 70. She quoted unnamed officials.
Holmes' lawyers say the leak violated a gag order. They want to know who was responsible.
Winter's lawyer says New York law allows her to keep her sources confidential.

CORAL GABLES, Fla. (AP) -- No. 1 Duke went more than 8 minutes without a field goal in the first half Wednesday night, and a sellout became a blowout for No. 25 Miami, which delighted a boisterous crowd with a 90-63 victory.
The Hurricanes (14-3, 5-0 Atlantic Coast Conference) beat a No. 1 team for the first time, taking control with a stunning 25-1 run midway through the first half. The Blue Devils missed 13 consecutive shots despite numerous good looks, while four Hurricanes hit 3-pointers during the stunning run that transformed a 14-13 deficit into a 38-15 lead.
Duke (16-2, 3-2) fell to 0-2 when playing on an opponent's court. The Blue Devils' other loss came at North Carolina State, a defeat cost them the No. 1 ranking.
It was third-worst loss ever for a No. 1 team.

Cardiac arrest, like that which a volunteer firefighter suffered while battling a brush fire and later died, is a major cause of death for firefighters on the job, according to those in the business.
Carson Collins is a volunteer with the Winterville Fire Department. He says, "Fifty-percent of line of duty deaths for firefighters are cardiac related, so we try to coordinate cardio vascular health in with our weight lifting and strength training."
But Collins says part of the problem is when it comes to volunteers, much of that training is on their own time.
Ayden Fire Chief Barry Wood says volunteers have to pass over 100 hours of classes and physical training to become a volunteer firefighter. But after that, he says maintaining that physical stamina is up to the volunteer, not the department. Wood says, "It would be nice if we had the time constraints to do such, and the facilities to do such, but we don't."
But unlike Ayden, Winterville Fire and Rescue officials say they physically test their volunteers annually, depending on their age. Collins says the department started doing that four years ago. He says, they also do weekly training on equipment. Collins says, "Basically, they put you on a bike. It's pretty much like a stress test for your heart."
Wood says every department's funding is different. He says he encourages all of his volunteers to eat healthy and stay fit. He also says what's most important is that the volunteers know their limits.

Pelikan Plaka is an all-purpose casein paint that dries quickly (within 12 to 24 hours) to a smooth, velvety matte surface that is extremely opaque. It adheres well to virtually any light or dark surface, including paper, wood, cardboard, leather, pottery, plaster, glass, plastic, and stone.
Plaka is ideal for commercial art and window displays as well as transparencies, posters, interior and exterior decorations, crafts and model-making. It is fadeproof and waterproof; however, paintings intended to be long-lasting should be coated with an air-dry lacquer.
Stir Plaka before using. It can be diluted with water.

Another new entry in open heel fins, the Wave uses three material construction to apply specific properties where needed. The upper part of the foot pocket is molded in soft rubber to guarantee the maximum comfort. The blade has big soft rubber insert perfect to get the ideal Super-Channel water flow. The remainder has the rigidity and strength needed for superior propulsion.
The ergonomically designed foot pocket delivers maximum power and evenly distributes pressure over the foot to minimize fatigue. The foot pocket interior features internal ribbing that improves fit, eliminates foot suction and prevents foot pocket flexing, while transmitting more power to the blade.
Wave uses Mares patented design ABS Plus Buckles (Adjustable Binding System). It only takes one quick movement to easily open or close these buckles, even when wearing thick neoprene gloves. The double button release prevents the buckles from accidentally opening making them the most user friendly system on the market.
The Super-Channel is designed for the diver who wants the perfect blend of power and efficiency in one fin. The new blade design with a large central Super-channel and two traditional lateral channels provide excellent thrust while maintaining hi-efficiency and minimizing leg fatigue. The blade is constructed of Tecralene and Thermoplastic rubber for extended durability.
Fin comes in three colors and three sizes, has an overall length between 23" to 26" (58.5 to 66 cm) and weights 2.8 lbs to 3.7 lbs (1.26 kg to 1.7 kg) depending on size, and come with a 24 month limited warranty.
The Mares Wave Open Heel Fins is commonly used for SCUBA and more. The Mares Wave Open Heel Fins is popular because customers like the following qualities of the Mares Wave Open Heel Fins: Accommodates Boots, Comfortable, Efficient, Lightweight.
This product has a limited warranty of 24 months.

JS Lifestream
A Social Media Streaming Joomla Plugin
Version: 3.1.6
Latest Update: October 2012
License: GNU GPL v3
Using Lifestream you can link to your accounts by simply entering your username. Once you save a stream, it is available to be added to a collection (which is a group of streams) or displayed on its own.
Some sites, like Facebook, require some extra authentication to work, which Lifestream helps you with.
Lots of options
With 3 kinds of modules and 4 component view types, you have plenty of ways to display your streams. We provide a couple of base themes you can use to style them, but you can disable them and easily set up your own with some CSS.
Displaying streams
Streams can be organized into collections, or displayed singularly. You can make a menu link to Lifestream, or display streams in a module anywhere you like. Collections can be displayed in a tab, grid, or integrated layout options, in either the module or menu link. There are options on how to organize, arrange, and display your streams, and the styling can be easily overriddeen with your own CSS styling.
Custom formatting
If you like the way Lifestream looks by default, you can just plug in your streams and go. However you are able to change the way everything is formatted. Each plugin comes with a way to customize the format of each stream item--for example, if you want to remove the icon or timestamp. Also with several style options, you can choose one of the default ones or disable it and create your own.
Access and support
With Lifestream you get 3 months of access to the latest version and our support. This gives you plenty of time to get your site up and running, as well as access to new versions as they become available with new features.

Log in
In Richard Linklater's Bernie, a surprise hit released in 2012, Jack Black delivers a dialed down performance worthy of award recognition. Black belts out Gospel standards, dances to show tunes and brings a dramatic depth and sympathy to the role that one rarely finds in his oeuvre of slapstick comedies. Bernie is based on a true crime set in East Texas. Black plays the lovable but quirky Bernie, the assistant funeral director who when not comforting his beloved widows, befriends the town matriarch, a mean spirited woman made of money, played by legend Shirley MacLaine. From there, Bernie's life of piety and service spins out of control when he deviates from his saintly deeds and finds himself confronted with the truth and consequences of his actions.

- "My cousin is here!"
- ―Roman Bellic
The Cousins Bellic is the very first mission in Grand Theft Auto IV. It is given by Roman Bellic to protagonist Niko Bellic.
Roman Bellic welcomes Niko Bellic to America and takes him home. Niko finds out that all Roman's story about his success was a lie.
This mission introduces the player to the casual driving of cars.
Mission objectives
In order to complete the mission the player must:
- Drive to Roman's place.
Plot and walkthrough
Opening Scene
The scene begins with the sounds of sado-masochism in a room aboard the Platypus. Niko Bellic, the player character, begins knocking on the door, attempting to call Dave out of the room. Another person, Hossan Ramzy, calls to Niko, telling him to forget about Dave, and that they need to prepare for the docking. As Niko and Hossan discuss the "Land of Opportunity," the ship is shown nearing the Statue of Happiness. Niko tells of his cousin Roman's successes: sports cars, condos, parties, women, etc., while a person is shown inspecting a diamond, and then mixing it into a mixture in a mixing bowl. The Platypus docks, and Niko and the other crew members depart the ship, and many are greeted by friends and family, until the only one left is Niko.
Roman's Apartment
When Roman finally arrives (drunk), he's actually driving a taxi. Niko asks about it and Roman mumbles that his sports car is in the shop. He's too plastered to drive himself, so he gets in the passenger seat and asks Niko to drive them to his apartment.
The drive begins near the docks in East Hook. The on-screen instructions explain driving basics and how to use the radar map. The GPS system plots a course highlighted by a yellow line on your radar. One must simply follow the yellow line (or any other route- the GPS will adapt) to Roman's apartment in Hove Beach, Broker. Use caution not to collide with vehicles - particularly police vehicles. This is particularly the case for those who are familiar with the GTA III-era vehicle driving controls, as they differ substantially in GTA IV. Roman goes on to explain that due to a terrorist scare, it will be best if Niko stays in Broker, as Niko has not got a visa.
Closing Scene
The closing scene showcases the tiny apartment in which Roman lives. Niko confronts him with his lies, and Roman insists that luxury and money are coming. He rushes off to get his taxi back to the taxi firm that he owns, and tells Niko to meet him there. As he leaves, he gets what appears to be a nasty call from someone he calls "Vlad".
Video Walkthrough
- Completing this mission will immediately grant you the Achievement/Trophy, "Off The Boat".
- The first song heard in the game is "Soviet Connection" by Michael Hunter, GTA IV's theme. The second song heard is "Schweineé" by Glukoza, inside Roman's cab. It is featured on the radio station Vladivostok FM.
- Roman's Taxi in this mission has less acceleration than usual, presumably because this is the first car driven by new players that are not yet familiar with the driving style (especially those familiar with the controls used in the GTA III era games, as opposed to the different controls used in GTA IV).
- The opening of the Rockstar game Red Dead Redemption mirrors this mission, as the protagonists (Niko Bellic and John Marston) arrive by boat and a car is lifted off the boat.
- The song in Roman's car will change if the player will skip the cutscene. But it will always be in Vladivostok FM.
- Roman tells Niko to "Drive us [them] to our [their] place on Mohawk [Ave.]". This makes it look like Niko already knows his way around the city, which is strange considering that he just arrived. This is possibly an overlook in dialogue.
- Two important elements of the story this game and its two episodic packs (Lost and Damned & The Ballad of Gay Tony) briefly appear in the opening cutscene; the Diamonds and the Heroin.
- This is the first appearance of Niko Bellic, Roman Bellic, Hossan Ramzy, and The Cook.
- Niko places his suitcase next to the front door of the apartment, but when the cutscene ends, the suitcase is no longer there.
- If the player tries to enter the apartment before parking in the space (and thus starting the cutscene), it will be locked.
- This is one of two missions to feature both the diamonds and the heroin, the other one being "Departure Time".
- The title of the mission, The Cousins Bellic, is a play on the name of the band The Brothers Johnson. Coincidentally in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, the two main characters were brothers with the surname Johnson.
- No matter what, Roman cannot be taken out of his cab, as shooting at him would result in his death, which would restart the mission. This is properly the only time besides Clean and Serene and I Luv LC that a mission restarts automatically after a mission failure since they are the opening missions of their respective games. (Though if the player gets arrested, Roman will get out of the cab and walk away as the mission will restart once again).
- The player doesn't have to complete the mission as they can freely drive around Liberty City as long as they don't die or destroy the cab. Driving past the bridges connecting to Algonquin will give you an immediate and full fatal six-star wanted-level.
- In the third trailer for the game, "Move Up, Ladies," the scene with Roman meeting Niko is shown during the day while in-game the mission takes place at night.

My major interest is showing cattle but i love running with my dog and shopping. Me and my sister plan to go to Europe in about 3 years when she has finished her VCE (high school). I have been to many places in Australia but I've only been to Bail for a overseas trip. My daydream would be to go to Egypt with my mum as she has always wanted to go.
