The Camaro ZL1: Designed For Downforce
With 580 hp, the Camaro ZL1 can now hit 170 mph at the Nürburgring's Nordschleife course in Germany. Obviously, it takes quite a bit of aerodynamic downforce to do this, and do it safely.
"The Camaro ZL1 lapped the Nürburgring in an incredible 7:41.27 seconds, which would not have been possible without work of our aerodynamics team," said Al Oppenheiser, Camaro chief engineer. "The design of the ZL1 creates downforce like a race car, harnessing air pressure to press the tires against the track for extra grip and control at high speeds."

2012 Challenger SRT 392 Yellow Jacket Hemi Buzzing At Los Angeles Auto Show
Dodge continues to remind us of the muscle cars that were introduced in the late 1960s-early 1970s with the new special limited-edition Dodge Challenger SRT8 featuring exclusive Stinger Yellow exterior and interior appointments. This sort of thing works because when these cars finally become collectors' items, they'll be worth more.
"The Challenger SRT8 392 Yellow Jacket adds another piece of performance car nostalgia to our rear-drive muscle coupe lineup in 2012," said Ralph Gilles, President and CEO—SRT Brand and Motorsports. "The Stinger Yellow paint and interior accents speak directly to the performance enthusiast who appreciates a memorable and collectible color that helps deliver even more excitement and exclusivity."
The Chrysler Group's Street and Racing Technology (SRT) team announced on November 9 an exclusive production run of special-edition 2012 Dodge Challenger SRT8 392 Yellow Jacket models featuring Stinger Yellow exterior paint and interior appointments.

Ford To Update MyFord Touch (Video)
Despite offering a cutting-edge technological interface, the MyFord Touch system hasn't proven all that popular among reviewers and drivers. In fact, MyFord Touch was a big reason that Ford slid dramatically in Consumer Reports' recent reliability survey.
Ford hasn't let those complaints go unheard. It will simplify the MyFord Touch system beginning with the 2013 Escape, Flex and Taurus models.
The 2013 MyFord and MyLincoln Touch systems will get an easier-to-use interface, simplified graphics and faster touchscreen graphics, addressing some of the loudest complaints among existing users. Those existing users will be included in the upgrade, receiving the revised Touch system via a free software upgrade.

Race To The Finish: Chevy Volt Tops Nissan Leaf In October
After months of Nissan Leaf domination in the sales race between the Leaf and Chevy Volt, the Volt is back, beating the Leaf in October sales. With only two months to go before the full year is over, the Chevy Volt's sales are on the rise.
Chevy sold a total of 1,108 Volts in October, an increase from the 723 it sold in September. That number easily beat the 849 Leafs that Nissan sold during October. While Chevy has experienced a sales increase for two months in a row (it sold just 302 models in August), Nissan Leaf sales have slid during that same period (from 1,031 in September and 1,362 in August).
Despite those trends, the Nissan Leaf still has a major lead on the Volt in terms of full-year sales. After 10 months of 2011 sales, Nissan has sold 8,048 Leaf models compared to 5,003 Volts sold by Chevy.
Chevy TrailBlazer Debuts In Dubai (Video)
Just today, Chevrolet debuted a worldwide 'show' version of the company's highly anticipated all-new TrailBlazer SUV at the Dubai International Motor Show. Starting with Thailand in early 2012, Chevy plans to sell TrailBlazers globally. The vehicle features seven seats which are capable of folding flat, a body-on-frame SUV with the ride comfort and fuel efficiency of a crossover, and chassis meant to handle serious off-road conditions or city driving—if you're into that thing.
But if you're also thinking the TrailBlazer looks somewhat familiar, your powers of perception are right on. The latest Chevrolet Colorado shares similar DNA, design cues, and both vehicles were built in tandem. From all angles, the TrailBlazer looks sophisticated, aggressive and capable—a sort of physical manifestation of what GM intends this SUV do be.

Jaguar Land Rover Going To Delhi Instead Of Detroit
In a move that demonstrates how diverse and large the global auto market is becoming, Jaguar Land Rover has decided to attend the 2012 New Delhi Auto Expo in favor of the 2012 Detroit Auto Show. The shows almost completely coincide, with New Delhi running from January 7th to the 11th and Detroit running from the 9th to the 22nd. While the U.S. was once the clear leader in auto sales, other nations are catching up and even surpassing it.
Jaguar said that its decision was a strategic way of covering more global ground. Because it will show all of its latest concepts and cars at the LA Auto Show this month, it won't have anything new to show in Detroit. So instead of just parading the same wares around the U.S. once again, Jaguar Land Rover will bring them to a different market.

2012 Chrysler 200 Convertible
I have always felt that the current 2012 Chrysler 200 Convertible, known previously as the Sebring, was a bit of a dud. All you have to do is to look at the car; the rear end is so jacked-up, it's like driving a car that resembles a cat in heat. I guess that most cars these days have an accent line that accentuates the rear, but Chrysler, in my opinion, has gone overboard. Who wants to be seen in that?
The previous Sebring (built from 1996-2007) was built on the same body that had varied front end treatments through the years. It received its share of negative feedback, yet it was popular, and you still see many of them today. The 2008 model still carried the Sebring name with the new body style, but the 200 name is new on the 2011-up model.
Audi Urban Concept May See Production
When Audi introduced its Urban Concept before the Frankfurt Motor Show, it appeared like a concept in the strictest definition of the term. Audi called it a "technology study" and it didn't look like anything we'd imagine driving around city streets. In other words, it didn't appear to have a prayer at seeing production.
However, production may actually happen. Car magazine reported last week that Audi is not only considering, but close to approving, a limited production run.

Toyota Looks To Mimic Nissan For Success
Dire circumstances call for special measures. Usually big corporations avoid positive competition name dropping, especially with the ever-present specter of shareholder power. However, at Toyota's basement midterm financial meeting the company made a few intended references to a chief competitor: Nissan. While Toyota has suffered an operating loss of 32.6 billion yen (or $417 million dollars) to date, Nissan has recorded an operating profit of $309.7 billion yen ($3.88 billion dollars) despite similar obstacles in the form of massive earthquakes and Thai flooding.

Toyota Recalls 420,000 Cars!
Toyota voluntarily announced today one of the biggest recalls in automotive history, hauling back 420,200 vehicles for a faulty crankshaft pulley on one of its company V6 engines. Models included in this are the 2004 Avalon, 2004-2005 Camry, Highlander, Sienna, and Solara, 2006 Highlander HV, as well as 2004-2005 Lexus ES330, 2004-2005 RX330, and 2006 RX400h models.
Thankfully no accidents have been reported, but Toyota isn't taking any chances. If you own one of these models and hear any strange noises coming from the engine bay, you can call the company to make an appointment ASAP. In terms of the technical side of things, Toyota says the outer ring of the crankshaft pulley might not be aligned correctly with the inner ring, which could ultimately result in power steering pump belt coming detached from the crank pulley and creating a sudden change in steering.
Read on for the full report from the Toyota pressroom ...

Jamestown, NC
12-1 pm Poetry Reading
Joseph Bathanti read poetry in the AT Auditorium, introducing each one with a great anecdote. The subject was often "leaving home." For him, he had left Pittsburgh to come to North Carolina. One poem was about the night before his sister was getting married. In that case, his sister was "leaving home" for the first time. Joseph Bathanti's poems are often free verse with a narrative threading through. He captured everyone's attention and even raffled off two of his poetry books at the end.
1-2 pm Conversations with Veterans
Bathanti in his position as poet laureate especially loves to work with veterans. He thinks that writing can be therapeutic for veterans. He stated, "Either you control the memory, or the memory controls you." He mentioned that 2 million Americans have been deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan and 1/4 of them have been diagnosed with PTSD.
He mentioned some of the following resources for veterans:
- the November issue of Our State magazine will be featuring the military as the main subject
- the Veterans Writing Project (Ron Capps) and its literary journal, O Dark Thirty
- War, Literature and the Arts (Donald Anderson), a literary journal
- The Touring Theatre of NC's Deployed, a new play will be at Mac and Mac in Greensboro on Nov. 8, 9, 15, and 16
- The Veterans Writing Collective in Fayetteville
One student vet in the audience shared that after he read "The Things They Carried" with his English class, he couldn't go back to class for a week--it had brought up all these memories and feelings.
He suggested two books:
- The Yellow Birds: A Novel by Kevin Powers (He's from Bluefield, VA.)
- Here, Bullet (Poems) by Brian Turner
He suggested going to the website NEWPAGES.com.
3-4 pm Writing Creatively
The final session of the day was a round table discussion conversation about poetry with the GTCC Creative Writers Club members and some visiting guests. Bathanti explained the difference between formalism and free verse. We discussed how poetry does not seem to be beach material and what a prose poem is exactly.
He suggested enhancing your poetry by always putting in a dramatic situation, a situation we can see/witness. Then narrate that.
He said to try to avoid the "ephemeral" (feelings). Use imagery. Use language that appeals to the senses.
A poem has to sound good. "Don't get 'format anxiety,'" he said.
"Show not Tell." Isn't saying "he smashed Junior's face in" so much better than saying he was angry? Isn't it great how you see Willy Loman in Death of a Salesman come on stage in the first scene and you just see him put his heavy suitcases down? (I am paraphrasing, but that is a good image!!)
He told us he personally was highly influenced by Robert Lowell's autobiographical poems in Life Studies, which I need to go and pick up....

Sorry, but copying text is forbidden on this website!
Blue remembered hills is a play Dennis Potter. The title is taken from the poem 'Shropshire lad' by A. E Houseman. It challenges the perception that childhood is innocent and that all children are pure and 'nice'. One of the ways he does this is by using adults to play children so the unrealisticness of the play forces adults to focus on the meaning of everything going on in the play. The main meaning of the play is focused around the mindless cruelty of war and how this affects children living through it.
The style of the play is flared narration. The play was originally a television play for the BBC in 1979. it was set in rural west country. For our play we are using bright lights to show that we are outside. We are also going to have some stones and sticks on the floor to play with to help us show the kid's restlessness and constant movement. Could kick them etc. the setting is rural and in 1943 during the 2nd world war, this has affected the children a lot. There is a lot of racist speak about the 'Ities' and the 'Japs'.
Then there are the games, also war related. Most of the games revolve around guns and violence. Lastly there is a lot of bragging that the boys do about what they are going to do in the army. In this essay I am also going to refer to 'my mother said I never should' by charlotte Keatley and 'gum and goo' by Howard Brenton. Charlotte Keatley was a feminist writer. My mother said I never should was first performed in 1087. In 1987 there were stronger roles for women and more active feminist movements in society.
The play represents the plight of women and how women were treated in society, both by men and each other. The scene where the women are talking about menstrual cramps or the 'curse' as they call it contrasts directly yet is similar to when the boys are talking about the war in blue remembered hills. Both plays show children discussing 'taboo' subjects in an open and careless way. Howard Brenton play 'gum and goo' was first performed in 1969. Adults didn't understand learning difficulty's as well as they do now, in 1006.
Ignorance leads to prejudice and eventually tragedy in gum and goo. This play is about an autistic girl who invents two friends, 'gum and goo', this character links directly to Raymond in blue remembered hills who has learning difficulties, maybe similar, but less severe to Michelle's autism. . All three plays have adults playing children. This creates an objective distance so the unreality of the play is so obvious it doesn't allow the audience to get absorbed into the play. This was the audience is forced to concentrate on the issues and the challenged perceptions of childhood.

Thanks to everyone who filled out a survey at the Community Consultation meeting. The Committee (that's us) has looked through the responses and we are building a picture of the kind of garden that residents of Fairfield want.
But we need to hear from more people, so we've put the survey online. You can find it at Survey Monkey. Please fill it out and encourage all your neighbours to fill it out, too. It takes only two minutes at most. We want to get the opinions of as many residents as possible so that we can create a garden that truly serves the community.

i like the artwork by the cartoonist Aie himself. his early works includes the story titled aku hidup dalam blues which have the influenced from the movie reality bites. a bit similiar. but the story of blues untuk aku is totally different from what we see. i like the artwork by Aie very much, and as i believe that there's a lot of reader who definitely fascinated by the story or the artwork itself and because lack of homepage or website about blues untuk aku, so i have decided to put up one. i have no copyright to do so but i just a fan of this comic strip. so please don't complicated things.
and i don't have a lot of collection of these artworks but i'm looking foward to add up here when i have time or contribution from the people. so therefore, i was also put up some of my artwork using the photoshop just for fun. my artwork may either relates to the blues untuk aku or not. but anyway, i hope you will take look at it. and click here to start viewing the images.

About Canon EOS
Canon EOS
Canon Inc. designs and markets the EOS series of SLR and DSLR cameras. EOS is the abbreviation of Electro-Optical System and is also a reference to the Titan goddess of dawn, Eos.
History of Canon EOS
The EOS series was launched as Canon's SLR series of cameras. The first product under the brand name was the EOS 650 and it was launched in 1987.
Canon's first digital SLR (DSLR) model was the D30, which was released in 2000. The digital series still remains in production, and from 2005, Canon went full digital by discarding the film sensors.
Popularity in India
When it comes to photography and cameras, Canon happens to be a household name, along with the like of Nikon, Sony, and some other brands. However, in the range of DSLRs and SLRs, it has always been a two way affair with Nikon and Canon.
The EOS series is one of the most sought after cameras by professional photographers and hobbyists alike. Also, they are largely available in shops and online, besides having a large presence of service centers around the country. Thus, it is fair to say that the Canon EOS has a very good market share in India.
Design of Canon EOS
Canon EOS series cameras are available as full kits, i.e. with lenses, and with just the body alone. Lenses can be separately purchased as per requirements.
Generally, the body weighs roughly about a kg at most and is made up of plastic or magnesium alloy. The more expensive models also essentially offer a more toughened body along with weather sealing features. There are a number of control buttons at the back, along with an LCD panel. The body also provides great grip for shooting.
The EOS cameras come with an EF mounting system for the lenses. This is a pretty new approach that replaced the earlier FD mounting system. The EF mounts also so make any use of mechanical moving parts, and control of the aperture and focus happens via electrical contacts. Being a large lens mount, the present system also enables the use of large aperture lenses.
For additional flash systems, one can rely on the Speedlite brand that offers numerous kinds of flash setups. Built-in flash is provided with all models.
Features of Canon EOS
The EOS lineup comes with a number of models that cater to entry-level, midrange and high-end markets. Typically, Canon models are named in accordance to their segment. The basic models have a 3-4 digit number while the midrange models have 2. High-end cameras are essentially named with a single digit and the flagship always bears the number 1.
Canon cameras come with certain excusive features that stand out. Many of the cameras come with eye-controlled focusing, which basically selects the focus by tracking the eye of the shooter. However, this function is certainly not present with the current digital models.
The Quick Control Dial is great feature implemented by Canon that allows the user to control commonly used functions without having to make a number of button presses to get there. Using the thumb on the QCD and the forefinger on the main, a shooter can easily take shots without having to take the eye off the viewfinder.
Multi-point auto-focus is another great feature that equips cameras with up to 61 autofocus points. This assists the shooter in taking more accurate shots.
EOS cameras also provide a number of connectivity options by the likes of USB, HDMI mini, Video output, Headphone jack and more. Storage can be made on a SD/SDHC card.
The minimum/maximum ISO and megapixel count vary with the numerous models.
Canon News
Canon has recently revealed that it has developed a 250 megapixel CMOS APS-H sensor. Although the release of such cameras certainly won't be very soon, it is still something that remains in the horizon.

Delaware River Report / Conditions July 30, 2012
It can be very strange how the rain can affect this river! Here on the West Branch, we're still stuck on 325 cfs coming out of Cannonsville, even after a few good thunderstorms over the weekend and last week. This has proven to be somewhat worrisome since we're starting to see the actual riverbed in some places. Let's hope this little experiment soon. However, the Main Stem is a different story. Callicoon has hit about 3,000 cfs. which is might be the highest we've seen all summer. Maybe now we can start doing something else besides swimming down there! The forecast is looking for more rain and storms all week, but that won't mean much if they don't bump up the flows. I have a good feeling though that all of this will change soon.

The Equipment:
Battery-powered automatic bouncy seat and music player / noisemaker – $35 from a Once Upon a Child store in Sioux Falls.
The Problem:
I love this bouncy seat. My son loved it almost as soon as we first put him in it, and it became his bed every night. The subtle bouncing and soft music (something more original than the standard "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" in an endless loop) were a real boon during the first couple months at home with our boy. But the thing eats batteries for lunch. I've been changing out 3 x C batteries (in series – remember this) almost every week since we started using the bouncy seat. At about $1.25 per battery, that's $15-ish per month. So cancel my paid subscription to this machinated baby-sitting service: we're going hacking!
The Plan:
3 x 1.5V batteries in series yields 4.5V. A typical USB phone charger produces 800mA of 5V DC. First, power the bouncy seat from a wall outlet using a USB phone charger alone without batteries. Next, since the phone charger and batteries connect to the same points to power the bouncy seat, add a switch to isolate power sources so I can leave the batteries in and not end up charging very-not-rechargeable batteries.
The Parts:
DPDT 2-position .5A 50V slide switch $4.51 for 10 pcs.
I probably could have used just a single-pole double-throw switch for only the positive leads, but it seemed smarter to isolate negatives between power supplies as well. If you can educate me about why that is a good or a bad idea, please leave a comment!
3′ USB printer cable kinda like this that I had lying around. Free, I think.
About a foot each of 20-something gauge red (still too big, but it's what I had) and black wire. Wire is cheap.
The Process:
This was such a fun, simple little job! To start, I made sure a phone charger could power everything by turning on the bounce and the music and measuring the current draw from the positive to the negative terminal in the battery bay. It measured something like 1.54mA, if I recall correctly. It was really tiny anyway, easily powered 500 times over by an 800mA charger.
Sidetrack: the first time I opened up the case for the bounce mechanism, I expected to see weights oscillated by a cam and motor or something like that. What I found was nothing so idiotic. The wizard who designed this rightly determined that a motor and cam was far too prone to wear out. The bounce motion is created by a weighted arm with a magnetic coil in the center that is energized in pulses to overcome the spring on the bottom in its attempt to wrap its magnetic arms around the steel pin in the center, and then release and bounce back up. Nothing touches! The only wear parts are the hinges! Genius!
Anyway, I snipped the B end of the USB printer cable and stripped off the insulation, shield, and data wires. A USB cable has four wires, two for power (red and black), and two for data (green and white). Batteries were off the table during this stage, so I soldered the wires directly to the battery terminals for simplicity.
Once I got the switch, I traced its outline onto the case with Sharpie and drilled 1/16″ holes at the corners and then in a series along the edges until I could snip the rest out with a flush cutter. A little touch-up with my set of needle files yielded a fairly square hole. Luckily I had two of the tiniest screws possible from an old laptop case to secure the switch to the case. I desoldered the cord from the battery terminals and attached them to one side of the switch. The switch isolates the two sets of three terminals so it doesn't short. I used new wire to connect the other side of the switch back to the battery terminals, and then came the slightly trickier soldering.
The negative lead that used to connect the PCB to the batteries was a very tiny stranded wire. It took a couple tries to get it stripped with enough strands left and then bend it to shake hands with the wire from the switch. The positive lead went straight to a capacitor, so I stripped a longer end and sidled it up to the cap and bridged them with solder. I covered both neg and pos joints with appropriately-colored heat-shrink tubing. I don't have a heat gun, so I just held the tip of my 25W soldering iron near the tubing and let radiation do the work. Surgery complete. Close and confirm patient viability. Success.
I think one of the best things I could have done to make this project better would've been to use wire a couple gauges smaller. Soldering wires of unlike gauge and construction (solid vs. stranded) seldom ends well for me. I also would have liked to use install a female USB micro jack to avoid a dragging a power cord tail everywhere with an otherwise rather portable bouncy seat, but actually finding and procuring the right configuration of such a jack is not as easy as a trip down the stairs. Maybe someday.
The choice of switch worked out perfectly. There's even enough overlap in the slide that if you move it fast enough, the bouncy seat doesn't lose power, making transition between power sources seamless.
Ciao for now! Ideas, criticism, and education welcome in the comments!

Frequently Asked Questions
What is The Germinator?
The Germinator is the name we gave our state of the art, mobile sanitizing chamber.
What items can go into the Germinator to be sanitized?
Virtually any item may be placed in the Germinator including furniture, mattresses, rugs, even electronics like cell phones, laptops and key boards.
What items do most people want sanitized?
Mattresses, comforters, pillows, towels, rugs, curtains, couches, chairs, sports equipment, shoes, clothes and toys
Is there anything that you will not place in the Germinator?
Yes. Items that weigh over 150 pounds, people (that includes husbands) and pets.
How do I know the Germinator really works?
In a university of Georgia study, the technology used in the Germinator has been proven to be 99.9% effective in eliminating Norovirus in a 30 minute cycle. The technology has also been proven to be 99.9% effective against bacteria by an independent laboratory. The Germinator is a pest control device produced in an EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) registered facility. Germs are considered pests by EPA definition.
How does the Germinator sanitize items?
The Germinator is a mechanically sealed and locked chamber that uses a combination of heat and ozone to kill germs and pests.
Is the Germinator safe for my family and pets because I heard Ozone can be dangerous?
The Germinator is 100% safe. In fact, ozone is the most commonly used, liquid chemical free method of sanitizing in child day care centers. Moms love it because it has proven to reduce illnesses at the day care facilities that use it. Ozone should not be emitted in enclosed living spaces where humans and pets reside. The Germinator does not expose humans or pets to ozone at any time. It is used only in a sealed chamber which converts the ozone back to oxygen before the chamber can be open.
What is Ozone?
Ozone is a gas produced by the Earth's atmosphere by combining oxygen, ultra violet light (the sun) and an electrical charge (lightening). Ozone may be man made by combining oxygen, ultraviolet light and electricity.
What does ozone smell like?
Ozone is the smell many people detect following a rainstorm.
What is Ozone used for?
The Earth uses it as a filter for ultraviolet light. Many companies use it as a safe, chemical free way to sanitize bottling and food production plants. Many facilities where sanitizing is a top priority use ozone to keep areas sanitized.
Is it safe to be around the Germinator when it's operating?
Yes. The Germinator sanitizing chamber is a locked, sealed chamber that will automatically shut down if elevated ozone levels are detected outside the chamber.
Does the Germinator also eliminate odors in items?
Yes. The Germinator is also a deodorizer and should eliminate even stubborn odors.
Will my items be wet or damp when they come out of the Germinator?
No. They will be completely dry. They will only be wet or damp if they went into the chamber that way.
Are my items safe after they are sanitized?
Yes, they are 100% safe for use. The ozone used to sanitize you items is converted back to oxygen once the sanitizing cycle is complete. The Germinator is automatically sealed and locked until the cycle is completed.
What will my items smell like after they come out of the Germinator?
They will smell clean and fresh.
Does the Germinator kill lice and bedbugs?
Yes. The Germinator is highly effective in killing lice and bedbugs and is an EPA registered pest control device.
How long will my items remain sanitized after they come out of the Germinator?
That depends on the individual. How much exposure to contamination each item gets will determine how sanitary it will remain. But, you are starting fresh after the Germinator cycle is completed.
How often should I have The Germinator come to my home or business?
That is an individual preference. However, the more exposed items are to germs, bacteria, dust mites or pests such as lice and bedbugs, the more often you should sanitize. The most common is 1-4 times per year.
What makes Germinator so unique and a better option than competitors?
Besides offering multiple, state of the art sanitizing options which destroy germs quickly and effectively, we offer ongoing protection with our anti-microbial application that keeps items germs free for months. Sanitizing alone may not be enough because it only lasts as long the item is not re-introduced to contaminants. The anti-microbial extends the sanitized sate of the item.
How does your UV light system work?
We use a state of the art UV light and vacuum system. Our UV system kills 99.99% of germs, bacteria and allergens on contact while the powerful vacuum eliminates waste and debris left behind.
How does your anti-microbial system work?
We apply our anti-microbial solution using an electrostatic fogging system. This allows precise coverage of the surface so that it will be fully protected.
Is your anti-microbial safe for me, my family and my pets?
Yes. Our system is EPA registered and safe. In fact, you may already have it in your home. Many clothing, flooring and fabric manufacturers are incorporating it in the production process.
Can you apply your anti-microbial to any item including bathroom fixtures and counters?
Yes. We recommend applying it anywhere bacteria can migrate.
How often should I have the Germinator come to my home or business?
we recommend reapplication of our anti-microbial system 2-4 times annually combined with an annual sanitizing with our UV light system or ozone treatment.

When I bought it, it had an MOT, but I don't know how. It had no electrics at all. very dodgy steering which needed new track rod ends, no gauges, totally rotten seats and carpets,, a totally wrecked carb, and a NEW exhaust which had more joint leaks than a watering can. It had also had a respray of BANANA yellow!! over everything including the chrome, tyres and windscreen.
After a total body strip down and respray, a complete rewire, new lights, gauges wheels and tyres, rollbar ( Off a club member) , recovered seats, new carpet and side screens, etc. it is now on the road. Hope to be at Newark if I get a hood in time.

Interfaces of the most online fabric stores have an awkward interface. Very difficult to find fabric, if you don't exactly now what you are looking for. Usually search doesn't work well, and you have to view hundreds of pages before you'll find something. But recently I was surprised by a very good interface of onlinefabricstore.net. This one is very well done.

A couple of hours' chat with the development director at my old elementary school set my wheels spinning. It may have been the coffee and the flashbacks. We were discussing plans to establish what she called a maker center, a space where kids can construct projects of their own devising.
Pomme's chief of design, Sir Jonathan Ive, is the son of an English silversmith. Each year Ive's birthday gift was a day in his father's shop constructing the project of his choice with experienced assistance. Before starting work, he had to present detailed drawings. I hope the school can assemble a corps of mentors.
If I utter the word design in the presence of someone who makes his living at it, he tends to grind his teeth and say polite things, just as an interior designer does. The world is crawling with amateurs, though, and every dollar one spends is a vote for something.
About twenty years ago, a broadcast story about a legendary building at MIT caught my ear and eye. It's number 225 or something, a surplus frame unit left over from World War Two. The space is famous for the disruptive innovation it has generated, because people working on projects feel free, say, to cut holes in the floor to accommodate oversized pieces of experimental gear. Steve Jobs studied the history of the book in just such a building and went on to innovate circles around Gutenberg.
The school is looking for millions of dollars for the project. I hope I can appreciate the social and economic realities behind the goal. Me, I'd buy one of the houses across the street, strip it out, lay sacrificial flooring, wire it waist-high to a fare-thee-well, ensure child safety, and fill the thing with the hottest toys around. I'd put in an overhead grid of cheap, movable lighting units. Technology changes so fast that a formal facility will be a fossil before the paint dries. If an existing building will not do, my first instinct would be to put up a large sheet-metal garage/workshop unit or portable classroom, landscape it into invisibility, lash on solar and water salvage for the nearby restrooms, and get the kids to "work" as soon as possible.
My ambition would be to impress prospective parents with the good sense of the school's spending priorities and to keep the neighbors happy about the facility. It might not hurt to have a wall of big photographs or a web site with a tour of working studios so that white collar parents can get a look at the business end of the culture.-30-

Hi guys,
Have to say I'm a little intimidated being one of the few Calgarians on this site but just wanted to drop by and say hi.
Recently got back into a hobby that I've had since I was a kid. Kept koi as a child now moving to tropical freshwater fishes. Hoping to build a monster tank in the near future; what can I say...I got the itch.
Looking forward to discovering and learning about plecs from you pleco masters. Recently picked up a L25 that really sparked my interest in plecos.
On a side note...what is the proper way to pronounce plecostomus? Have heard some pretty funny variations.
Thanks for dropping by.
