Zucchini Quesadillas
A quesadilla is a tortilla typically filled with beans and shredded cheese then folded before being toasted or fried. Our version features cheese and cooked vegetables. Sour cream, shredded lettuce, sliced avocado, and bottled salsa make great accompaniments to quesadillas, so serve them on the side.
- Prep:
- Total Time:
- Servings: 4
Source: Everyday Food, March/April 2003
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 onion, coarsely chopped
- Salt
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 medium zucchini (about 1 pound), halved lengthwise and thinly sliced crosswise
- 1 cup frozen corn kernels (4 ounces)
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
- 4 (8-inch) flour tortillas
- 2 cups grated pepper jack cheese
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a large skillet, heat 3 tablespoons oil over medium heat. Add onion and 1 teaspoon salt; cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is soft, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic; cook 1 minute more.
Add zucchini and frozen corn kernels; cook, stirring occasionally, until zucchini is soft and corn is tender, about 6 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in cilantro, if using.
Brush one side of all tortillas with remaining tablespoon oil; lay 2 tortillas, oiled side down, on a baking sheet. Place half of the filling on each, and sprinkle with half the cheese. Place remaining 2 tortillas on top, oiled side up; press down gently with a spatula to seal.
Bake until cheese has melted and tortillas are golden brown, turning once, about 10 minutes. Remove from oven; let cool slightly. To serve, slice each quesadilla into wedges.

Well, I can't believe it but I have Hived two swarms from my hives in the last two days :shock:Its Autumn here and I believed the girls were settling down for the cooler weather.I think what triggered it was that we have had a week of cooler weather a fortnight ago, and now it has gone back up to around 32-35 degrees Celsius. Maybe they thought it was spring again.These are good strong hives I got off a commercial beek and he even said that they would start to slow down now but they haven't...All my hives are double deeps and we can winter in single deeps without problems. So I will go through the hives which have swarmed and check their numbers and knock them back to one box if they are low on numbers.(in a few days)That way I can also put some honey frames in the new swarms as well.you must have plenty in flower over there stillSo watch out Aussie's for SWARMS.CheersSteve
Cheers Jim, yeah hives are just darn strong no matter what.I checked the swarms I hived two weeks ago and man they are full or honey,pollen and brood.I could hardly believe it they are covering 7 frames in a 8 frame deep and halfway through drawing out number 8.Go girlsSteve
Hey Jim, I thought the same thing that I should add a super but I am unsure at this time of the year early Autumn/Fall it just doesn't seem right :?CheersSteve
I had to rob my hives last week as they were Honey bound and bringing it bucket loads of pollen and I assume nectar too. I extracted 22 frames and got about 40
Yeah for sure CJ, mine are powering along. I took four frames from each hive and left four frames full just to give them some room. They were bearding heaps but have now stopped.Where are u at?

Eat, Drink, Play: Exploring Breck's drinking history, one pub at a time
February 11, 2012
BRECKENRIDGE – Once upon a time, Breckenridge was a little mining town with a fondness for tippling.
Today, it has evolved into a thriving and nationally recognized ski town. The drinking thing hasn't really changed.
Two years after the town's 150th birthday and one year after it was recognized as a top destination for nightlife among North American ski resorts, booze enthusiasts can explore Breckenridge's colorful and whiskey-soaked history – and do some drinking – on bi-weekly historic saloon tours.
The tour is a celebration, not only of Breckenridge's rich drinking heritage and its modern-day bar and pub scene, but of the town itself.
The 90-minute tour begins at the Breckenridge Welcome Center on Main Street, where tour guide Mr. Mike McManus greets his guests with a crash course on Breckenridge.
The town is currently a year-round home to just 3,500 people, barely a third of the 9,000 hopeful prospectors who chased golden rumors 9,600 feet above sea level in 1869.
The town's drinking tradition, Mike says, is about as old as its mining history and pre-dates the Breckenridge Ski Resort by about 100 years.
The tour stops in the Motherloaded Tavern, where participants can grab a local beer, and in the Gold Pan, Breckenridge's oldest bar and holder of Colorado's longest running liquor licenses, before finally looping back for a bourbon/vodka/chocolate tasting at the Breckenridge Distillery's downtown location.
The high point of the tour is a stop in the Gold Pan, still a favorite haunt for locals and decorated with the relics of its more than 100-year history.
Mike, a Summit County transplant whose Arkansas-born charm and laid-back sense of humor make the tour fun, covers everything from the more fantastic shoot-out, bar-brawl stories of the days when Breckenridge was still the heart of the Old West to the many services – from banking to bathing – offered by saloons in their hay day.
The unexpected bonus of the saloon tour is the discounts. The lucky drinkers trailing Mike enjoy a 50 percent discount on Avalanche – one of Breckenridge's best and most famous local microbrews, born just up the street at the Breckenridge Brewery – at the Motherloaded, where Mike will cross all kinds of boundaries explaining the difference between a brothel and a dancehall in 19th-century Summit County, and a 10 percent discount on everything, including booze, at the Breckenridge Distillery's downtown tasting room.
Notwithstanding the occasional stop in a 150-year-old pub and the slight chill resistance that comes after a few drinks, the tour is conducted primarily outside and at night, and it is cold. Participants who bundle up will most likely enjoy themselves more.
Reservations are recommended by 4 p.m. The tour leaves the Welcome Center, heading north up Main Street, just after 5 p.m., but participants are encouraged to arrive 15 minutes early.

Nothing wrong with living in a trailer, Bill..but you best run home because yours is being towed away as we speak.
Looks almost like the home of Navin Johnson ( The Jerk) who left his family there and went to Hollywood!
That may be one of my favorite movies of all time.

LOL at Verne Lundquist after Valentine's lob to Dawson for a dunk: "Just call me Ebenezer!!!"
17 point half time lead after slow start...looks like home cooking is good for Sparty
MSU always looks different playing outside the tough Big 10 + 2! i Have them losing in the Elite 8 to St Louis but I think they are Final 4 ready!
state dominates!!! Was that Derrick Nix????
The MSU frontcourt has come a long way (Nix and Payne especially) and should be enough to give any team fits, but it really comes down to how well Keith Appling plays. Good strong showing in the opening game. Nix did what he was supposed to do.
She was fluffy.......not stuffy.
I had forgotten the games started today. Good to see a strong start! I'm hoping ALL of the Big Ten teams do well in the tournament. Oh, I incincerely wished someone good luck over the phone for BOISE State in the "play in" game yesterday to get in the tournament. As I anticipated they got all huffy and said "We ARE" already in the tournament and it is called the first four. now" I gave a little chuckle and said in a condescending ways if I hadn't really acknowledged it "Well good luck anyhow".She's a nice woman so I knew I was SOOOO wrong. But Im an imbecile to rule her. The monthly injection she gives me might hurt if she decides to move the needle around in me for a bit. LMAO. I better not mention that they lost either. . I love March Madness. Now I know we're the Madness title comes in. Well, the next round gets a little more serious.
They should all win their opening round games, I see at least six getting to the sweet sixteen, 3-4 getting to the elite 8 (including Sparty) and probably 2 to the final foul..and one winning the whole thing!!!
I realize The izzo factor but Sparty is in a tough bracket. U I can see Indiana in the final four. Then Ohio state. Michigan has Burke so maybe they squeak in. But that's about it. So I put Indiana there and maybe one of those other two.
Separate names with a comma.

The Canisius volleyball team lost in three sets at Manhattan College on Saturday afternoon. The Golden Griffins fell 25-20, 25-13, 25-18 to the Jaspers at Draddy Gymnasium and dropped to 10-15 overall and 8-6 in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference.
Sophomore Lauren Siebert led the Griffs with seven kills on 13 attack attempts while senior Emily Elek added six kills. Junior libero Emily Litwin posted 19 digs for the second consecutive match.
"Early in the match, we bounced back from yesterday's loss, but we just kept making too many careless plays and unforced errors," Canisius coach Cathy Hummel said. "Against a good team like Manhattan, they will make you pay for those mistakes and we weren't able to keep a steady rhythm or generate any momentum after the start."
For the second consecutive day, Canisius jumped out to a big lead early in the first set. The Griffs were up 7-2 after a solo block from freshman Katlyn Tyler. The Jaspers went on a 12-3 run to take a four-point lead. The Jaspers led by as many as six points before Canisius won four straight points, including two kills from sophomore Rachel Kline, to make a late run. Manhattan would take five of the last seven points to close out the set.
After Manhattan cruised to a second-set win, the Griffs would win the opening four points of the third set. Manhattan again rallied, using an 11-3 run to take control of the set. Canisius wouldn't get closer than three points the rest of the way as the Jaspers completed the sweep.
Malia McGuinness led all players with 13 kills and posted a .500 attack percentage for Manhattan (17-10, 10-3 MAAC). Ellie Wiekamp and Anna Kitlar each had nine kills with Teodora Peric leading all players with 33 assists.
Canisius returns to the road for two matches next weekend. The Golden Griffins open the weekend at Siena, with match time in Loudonville set for 1 p.m. on Saturday.
Notes: Manhattan swept the season series from Canisius for the first time since the MAAC went to a double round-robin schedule in 2006… Litwin had 10 of her 19 digs in the first set… The .073 attack percentage was the lowest by the Griffs in a conference match this season

The Freedom From Religion Foundation, on behalf of its 16,500 members including 400 in Minnesota, has renewed its formal objections to opening the Minnesota House or Senate sessions with prayer — any prayer, nondenominational or not — after the divisive appearance and prayer by pastor Bradlee Dean on Friday.
Dean, who has said he thinks homosexuality should be illegal and allegedly has suggested favoring the death penalty for gays, gave an address before the House's vote this weekend to approve an anti-gay marriage amendment. That amendment was approved Saturday and will now go out as a referendum to voters.
Dean, who had been told that "guest chaplains" are "advised to be nondenominational and inclusionary," intoned:
"I know this is a non-denominational prayer in this Chamber and it's not about the Baptists and it's not about the Catholics alone or the Lutherans or the Wesleyans. Or the Presbyterians the evangelicals or any other denomination but rather the head of the denomination and his name is Jesus. As every President up until 2008 has acknowledged. And we pray it. In Jesus' name," Dean said. (Read FFRF's transcript of the entire prayer here.)
Dean is affiliated with You Can Run But You Can't Hide, whose mission statement is: "To reshape America by re-directing the current and future generations both morally and spiritually through education, media, and the Jdueo-Christian values found in our U.S. constitution."
FFRF, a state/church watchdog, has taken regular complaints about You Can Run But You Can't Hide presentations in public schools.
Dean's prayer created a firestorm Friday, with Republicans huddling in a private caucus meeting for more than an hour, according to the Star Tribune. House Speaker Kurt Zellers called the invitation to Dean a mistake, Majority Leader Matt Dean called the prayer inappropriate and even Rep. Ernie Leidiger, R-Mayor, who had invited Dean, distanced himself from him.
In an interview with the newspaper, Dean insisted he wasn't "anti-gay" and denied approving the death penalty for gay people, but spoke approvingly of an era when homosexuality was illegal:
"We don't enforce those laws anymore and we wonder why we are going backwards," he said. "If you were to ask me my position as far as enforcing the laws of sodomy in the state of Minnesota, I would say absolutely yes. Yeah. Yeah."
FFRF added its objection to prayer to open the Minnesota State Senate in March, after State Sen. Terri Bonoff had asked the Senate to adopt and enforce rules that prayers be nonsectarian in nature. Her complaint followed the over-the-top prayer to Jesus on March 14, 2011 by Pastor Dennis Campbell, of Granite City Baptist Church in St. Cloud.
FFRF, in a March 22 letter to Senate President Michelle Fischbach, asked the Senate to discontinue prayer altogether. FFRF found that of 32 prayers since May 2010 through late March, 84% of officiants were Christian clergy. FFRF pointed out government prayer excludes the 14-16% of the U.S. population that is nonreligious, turning them into political outsiders.
"This controversy proves how divisive religion is in government. Once a legislature opens the door to 'chaplains' and 'guest chaplains,' it invites a union between religion in government. It invites entanglement. It invites discord," said FFRF Co-President Annie Laurie Gaylor.
"If the Minnesota Legislature is going to invite pastors to pray at them and the public, how can it prevent pastors such as Dean from exploiting this exalted podium to exploit their views? We atheists and nonbelievers would love to be given this kind of access to the legislature, yet only religion, and overwhelming the Christian expounders, are granted this endorsement.
"There is no question that legislative prayer sends an unconstitutional and inappropriate message of endorsement of the views of ministers who are invited to open sessions. His invitation was timed to inflame the debate over marriage equality. The only objections to gay marriage ever offered are religious in nature. Prayer in our government is quite simply a conflict of interest."

I have made a tool to aid those of us using a Harbor freight chop saw.
This jig simply bolts in with the supplied bolts and greatly speeds and "standardizes" the rough cut off operation. Using this jig gives you a rough cut case a few thousands long with a nice even mouth. No more uneven mouths catching on the final trimmer!
To use it;
Just unscrew the thumb screw, catch the nut for reuse and set your clamp to the side.
Bolt it in using your 3mm allen wrench and start cutting. My friends are cutting around 30 cases a minute fairly easily. Just slide the case in from the left, the case rim catches on a protrusion, chop it, push the next case in against the base of the just cut case.
The just cut case gets ejected under spring power out the right side a couple inches and the next snaps in place!
This means your right hand never has to leave the saw handle and your left hand is feeding the cases.
Occasionally you will find a case hangs up. Almost always it is a damaged rim. I usually shoot a little shot of thin lubricant (Hornady one shot, silicone lube etc) into the jig before using if it has been sitting a few days and everything runs smoothly.
Here's the saw it is designed for. (pretty cheap from Harbor Freight)
Sorry for the short video, I am not smart phone upload savvy...
Notice the ejection of the cut case, If you put this at the end of a bench with a bucket below it does a good job of catching them.
These are $50 shipped. (fees included) If you use a USPS money order. PM me for address.
These are well worth it. Check out all the feedback on 300blktalk.com
Ppal to vonzep58(removethis)@yahoo.com do not assume ppal puts your address on the pmt info. sometimes it does not.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
thank you.
Hi Justin,
Waist width means next to nothing when trying to determine a foot size relationship. If you have a spare hour kindly have a look at the info below.
How wide of a snowboard do I need? Where is the width of a snowboard measured? What does width mean in terms of my boot size?
Lets start by talking about measurements, because this is where a lot of the confusion arises. The most common width measurement that is provided by manufacturers is "waist". The waist is measured at the narrowest point near the middle of the board (usually). But like with all things in snowboarding, different brands measure different things. Some measure the midpoint between the tip and tail and call that "waist". Others simply provide a measurement they call, "width", but do not really specify what width they are referring to.
If that has you a bit confused, don't worry, because regardless of where these "waist" measurements are taken, they are not very useful for what they are typically used for. Most people think that this measurement is a good indicator of what foot size a board will handle. It is not, and for a simple reason: you do not stand at the waist, you stand at the inserts. A board's waist measurement is always less than the measurement at the inserts and often the difference is significant. Additionally, two boards with the same waist dimension, may have very different measurements at the inserts, depending on each board's sidecut. Measurement at the center insert is a much better way to compare boards for shoe size compatibility, but for some odd reason, manufacturers do not publish this info.
OK, so now we have told you why we think the commonly provided measurements are pretty silly, but what good does that do you? You still need to know how to figure out the correct width for your new board. Well, here comes. There are two easy steps to getting it right every time.
First, measure your bare foot. It is important that you do not try to use a boot size. It is also important that you measure in centimeters, because the board measurements that you will be comparing to will be in cm. Here is the method that we suggest:
Kick your heel (barefoot please, no socks) back against a wall. Mark the floor exactly at the tip of your toe (the one that sticks out furthest - which toe this is will vary by rider). Measure from the mark on the floor to the wall. That is your foot length and is the only measurement that you will want to use. Measure in centimeters if possible, but if not, take inches and multiply by 2.54 (example: an 11.25 inch foot x 2.54 = 28.57 centimeters).
Second, measure the board you are considering. This measurement is easy. It should be taken at the inserts. Try to measure at the inserts that you will be using to achieve your stance position. If you are unsure about this, simply measure at the center of the insert cluster (that will still be very close). Be sure to measure using the base of the board, not the deck. This is important because the sidewalls on many boards are angled in, and will therefore give you a smaller measurement on the deck than on the base. For our example's sake, let's say the measurement is 27.54 at the center insert.
Still with us? You are almost done. You now have a way to compare foot size to board width where it matters, but how do you interpret this info to get the correct width? Well that depends a little on stance angle. If you ride a 0 degree stance, you will want your foot size to be the same as the width of the board at the inserts or up to 1 cm greater. If you ride at an angled stance, you will want to measure the board across at the angles that you will be riding. Again, you will want your foot to at least match this measurement or exceed it by up to 1 cm. So using our example above, this guy has a foot 28.57 cm that exceeds the board with at the inserts 27.54 cm by 1.03 cm at a zero degree angle. But, when he angles his feet to the 15 degree angles that he rides, voila, he has .10 cm of overhang for a perfect fit.
But wait a second. Are we saying that you should have overhang, even with bare feet? Yes. You will need overhang to be able to apply leverage to your edges and to get the most out of your board. 1/2 inch to 3/4 inch of boot overhang for both toe and heel is ideal, and will not create problematic toe or heel drag. Remember that boots typically add 1/2 at both the toe and heel to your foot measurement from above, due to padding, insulation and the outer boot materials. We do not suggest using the boot length to size boards though, as the extra padding etc, cannot be used well to create leverage, that has to come from your foot itself. We highly recommend that riders do not choose boards where their feet do not come to or exceed the real board width.
OK, that's all well and good, but where can you get the information on board width at the inserts if the manufacturers don't provide it? That's easy. Email the store that carries the board(s) that you are considering. Give them your foot length in cm (and your stance width and angles if you know them). They will be able to provide you with the width at the inserts that you will be using and can factor in your stance angle as well to get you the exact overhang that you will have with bare feet.
Once mounted, the best way to test is to put your (tightly laced) boots into your bindings and strap them in tightly. It is important that you have the heel pulled all the way back into the bindings heel cup or the test wont help. On a carpeted floor place your board flat on its base. Kneel behind the heelside edge and lift that edge so that it rests on your knees and so that the toeside edge is angled down into the carpet. Now press down with both hands using firm pressure, one hand on each of the boots. This will compress the board's sidecut and simulate a turn on hard snow. You can change the angle of the board on your knees to become progressively steeper and you will be able to see at what angle you will start getting toe drag. You will want to repeat the test for your heelside as well. If you are not getting drag at normal turn and landing angles, then you are good to go.
Also a note about boots: Boot design plays a big role in toe drag as does binding ramping and binding base height. Boots that have a solid bevel at the toe/heel drag less. Many freestyle boots push for more surface contact and reduce bevel. This helps with contact, but if you have a lot of overhang with those boots it hurts in terms of toe drag.
thx for the info. Ya he is looking at the flow infinite either the pop cam wide 163 or the 159 reg width. i haven't seen him board yet so i don't know how good he is but he is very athletic (played university basketball) and grew up in van so he snowboarded growing up. he is kinda trusting me to help him with which one to get (big mistake), and thats why im bugging the forum with it cause i get nervous with other ppls money.
i acutally just found a 159w reverse in canada. i think i might recomened that one.
I wear size 10 and I ride mid-wide or wides. Why not? More float, more stability, no toe/heel drag EVER, and definitely no noticeable difference in how it rides no matter what anyone tries to tell you.
It's the specs that changes your ride, the most important being Contact Length, Effective Edge, and Sidecut Radius... the overall length of the board being relatively unimportant at all.
You really have to check into the specs of the width yourself, and not listen to if the company calls it a regular width or mid or wide, or whatever. (Some mids are actually regular or slim, some regulars are actually mids, some wides are actually mids but most are actually wide.. confusing I know). Here's some baseline numbers that are fairly common...
Regular = 249-254mm
Mid-Wide = 254-258mm
Wide = 258-265mm
(less than 249 is probably a girls board, and you don't really see anything wider than 26.5cm)
I'm assuming he'll be doing mainly beginner-intermediate freeriding at Sunshine & Louise, with the odd trip to other hills (The Horse & Revy of course).
Something around 158-163cm should be mint, with a minimum waist width of 252mm, and a mid-stiff flex due to his weight and riding style. Probably a directional-twin board, but I only ride twins now. Don't bother with a purely directional board.
|lol it would be awesome if he went the GS route. he originally told me he had a 13 shoe, but when he messured in mondo it is an 11. from what i have read 11 is right on the edge of wide or reg. the board he is looking at in a reg is only 3cm narrower at the waist than his feet so im guessing he should go with a reg but im still a noob.
Why not get a wide? It's the way to go.
(unless you're doing GS slalom with hard boots and tight pants )
boot/board size question
my buddy is buying a board and was gonna get a 163 wide, but has 11 boots, should he look at a reg size board instead since it will def be above a 160? he is 200lbs and wants an all meowntain board. im guessing that puts him in the 160-164 range. thx in advance.

DARIEN, CONN. — The Dartmouth men's lacrosse team played for the second straight day and won in a neutral site contest against Mercer on Sunday, 17-10. Multiple Big Green players scored to improve the team's record to 2-1 on the season. Mercer fell to 0-6 overall in the program's first season of men's lacrosse.
The Bears scored the first goal in the contest, 50 seconds into the first period, but Dartmouth took control after that. Senior Rhett Miller (Dallas, Texas) tied the contest with his fifth goal of the season with 13 minutes remaining in the first, and Junior Kip Dooley (Minneapolis, Minn.) gave the Big Green their first lead of the contest two minutes later. Mercer tied the game midway through the first, but Dartmouth scored three more goals in the frame to take a 5-2 lead into the second period.
In the second, only two goals were scored, one by each team. Freshman Mike Olentine (Princeton, N.J.) netted the Big Green's lone goal for his second of the game, which marked his first two career goals. The third period saw both teams score three goals, and they headed into the fourth period with the Big Green leading, 9-6.
Dartmouth controlled the fourth period, scoring eight goals to seal the victory. Junior Drew Tunney (Greenwich, Conn.) scored three of the eight goals and totaled five in the game. The five goals were a player high for the team this season and Tunney's first goals of the year. Freshman Jeff Perkins (Dallas, Texas) scored three times in the final period for his first three goals of the season.
The Big Green have a quick turnaround because they play at Holy Cross on Wednesday at 4 p.m.

If you are ever in the Washington, DC area and are tired of looking at monuments and museums, head on over just a little bit north to the Billy Goat Trail. The Billy Goat Trail is a 4.7 mile hiking trail that follows a spectacular path between the Chesapeake & Ohio Canal and the Potomac River. You will start out thinking you are walking through a boring part of Maryland - by the end of the day, you may think you were in another world (or at the very least, out west).
And that's kind of like how today started out. A couple of benchmarks dribbled in. And then suddenly at the end of the day, you realize that this was really a very big day.
We ended up with a ton of interesting benchmarks on the new Intel Xeon "Nelahem-EX" processor 7500 series. The IBM System x3850 X5 delivered leadership results on a slew of benchmarks across an amazing portfolio of different workloads including TPC-E, SAP SD, VMmark, SPECjbb2005, and SPECjEnterprise2010.
There's that moment when you realize as you round the bend and the rocky cliffs of the Potomac stretch out before you -- that this day is so much more special than you ever thought it would be. And how amazing that you can feel just that by sitting in front of a screen with just numbers.

Thanks for the Help!!


text: I spent yesterday watch the highlight shows seeing what people would say about our win and what I kept hearing when the talking heads talked about the division was how good the Giants still were that Bradshaw makes everyone not just on offense but on defense better. I can understand a good back making an offense better. Look at the Cowboys right now for that example. But the defense? Seriously? The fact is that this Giants team doesn't resemble the Giant teams of last year that was hot at this time of the year on both offense and defense. They aren't really any different from us or the Redskins. And it's time people started saying they are just as flawed as both Dallas and Washington. But I still heard just about every analyst picking the Giants to win the division.

Eau Roma Water
For mature, sensitive or dry skin
In a world of technology-loaded cosmetics, choosing a toner with just two active ingredients may seem unusual. But when those two ingredients work perfectly to calm, soothe, moisturize and balance skin, why use anything else? Rose water cools irritations and keeps redness at bay, while lavender helps to balance out the skin's oils, leaving it feeling soft and supple. Eau Roma is simple, effective skincare at its best!

The fight against terrorism in the world is so dominated by Iraq or Afghanistan that many areas which have long been engaged in such conflicts are virtually ignored by the media. The Philippine government has been fighting Muslim terrorism in southern regions of their nation for over twenty years with limited success. A few days ago, Filipino troops over ran a camp of the Abu Syyaf mllitants and destroyed bomb making facilities as part of a battle with over 200 of the enemy forces. Filipino Marine General Juancho Sabban believes his assault thwarted a major effort aimed at inflicting massive damage to his nation.
The Abu Sayyaf is currently reported to have about 380 members which is about one-third of the number it once had as followers. They have been constantly attacked by Filipino forces who have most probably prevented large scale attacks. Perhaps, the time is now for Filipino leaders to attempt a political solution by making strenuous efforts to deal with issues of poverty and power among Muslim inhabitants of the southern regions of their nation.,

Alistair's Amazing Raspberry and Almond Swiss Roll, Sunday February 17th
17/02/2013 , 11:45 AM by Alice Wood
Here's a "swiss roll with bells on." It looks sophisticated, yet it's made with a fail-safe and simple sponge recipe - the kind that might well "save your life."
You make the sponge by combining a quick-mix cake batter with a French meringue mix.
The Batter
Beat together until fluffy:
115g icing sugar
150g almond meal or almond powder
1 whole egg
3 yolks
90g plain flour
The Meringue
200g egg white (about 6 egg whites)
until they start to "split" - you'll see the water in the whites begin to separate from the proteins - on the side of the bowl.Sprinkle in while still whisking:
75g sugarContinue to whisk until the meringue mix is glossy and, when you feel the mix between your fingers, there is no longer any sugar "grit".
The Combination
Fold one third of the meringue mix into the almond mix, and "really beat it down." Then fold in the remaining two thirds more gently.
The Cooking
Bake the sponge "hard and fast" in a sheet pan lined with silicon paper - that's at about 200'C for about 6 or 7 minutes. However, if your pan size means you have a have a thicker cake than Alistair's, which was about 2cm deep, lower the temperature to 170'C and bake for a little longer.
The Assembly
Put a second sheet of silicon paper on the bench and sprinkle it liberally with sugar (to prevent the fresh cake sticking to the paper).
Fill a cup about a third full of water.
Now, take the cake out of the oven and pour the water on the lip of the sheet pan, and then tip it on an angle to make the water flow in between the silicon paper and the tray down to the other end of the tray. You'll hear a hiss as the steam lifts the paper from the tray and also separates it from the cake. This will stop the sponge from sticking to the paper in the next step, and prevent tearing of the sponge.Turn the cake, in it's paper, out on to the sugared paper on the bench. Peel the steamed paper from the back of the cake.
Wait for the cake to cool a little, then spread it with jam and Chantilly cream (vanilla flavoured, whipped cream) and fresh raspberries. Roll the cake up around the filling, as you would a filled crepe rather than a sushi roll.
Alistair decorated the top of this roll with chopped nuts, a thick chocolate syrup and "shards of macaroon." Unfortunately he isn't giving away these recipes just yet. We'll keep asking, but in the meantime, why not experiment with toppings? Tell us what you come up with!

Greetings potential housies! I'm looking to find a permanent place after housesitting around Melbourne for 6 months. I have lots of stuff in storage, like a fridge, tv, dining table and kitchen stuff, I'm just needing someone to share with. I don't have a washing machine, or a couch, but I'm sure if you don't have these we could pick them up cheap on Scumtree. I enjoy hanging out with housemates, shared meals, movie nights, trips to the pub but also enjoy my own space. Non smoker, and super respectful of others space and belongings. I'll have my cat as well, she will be completely indoor, and has massive boundary issues, and loves to try and make me jealous with everyone else. So if you don't like cats or cat hair this won't work. Sorry. Send me a message if you think this will be something you're interested in. :)
Hey, I'l be moving to Melbourne for the first time in July to study a Masters in Fashion at RMIT, and i'm looking for a wonderful place i could call home. I am 22 years old and originally from Kenya. I am fun, respectable, down to earth and clean so you wouldn't have to worry about me tidying up. I am also trustworthy, calm and open. I am looking for a place i could stay for approximately 6 months, preferably furnished and en suite. I am looking for housemates that i cannot only stay with but those i could call family. Looking forward to hearing from you soon and if you have any questions, feel free to contact me.
Non smoker and working duel health professional. Easy going and tidy. I am happy to share a house with someone who has pets and I have no allergies

Arsène Wenger faced the media on Friday morning ahead of the Premier League trip to Norwich City.
Here's a round-up of some of the manager's quotes. For the main headlines, visit our Digest page:
on Olivier Giroud's form...
There are two things when you are a striker. First, I'm always worried when a striker doesn't have chances. In his case, he always had chances in every single game and couldn't convert them into goals. The conversion rate goes in cycles. Once a player starts to score, suddenly he takes off for a while and suddenly it stops again [and] nobody has really found out why. I hope he's at the start of a good cycle.
on his options in attack...
We lost a massive player with Robin van Persie and we had to find a way to get around that. We knew that we would not find a player who would score 40 goals but we are a bit more versatile now because Walcott scores, Gervinho scores, Podolski scores, Cazorla scores and of course Giroud starts to score so we should be alright on the offensive front.
on 10 years since Rooney's strike for Everton against Arsenal...
I was not completely happy with the leap of David Seaman on that. Nor with the closing down of Sol Campbell! My memory on the day was 'oh, we have seen a great player today'. I said that after the game. If you look at my statements, I thought that England had found a great player. You could see straight away, this guy had something special. That was not only football-wise but mentally. There was a desire, a hunger in him, linked with talent.
In fact, Wayne Rooney is the combination of the [best] English player. That means he is talented of course. But as well, he is committed and enjoys challenges. He had that at a very young age. And a robust body that can cope with it. Ten years later, he has proven that he is the great player everybody expected. I believe that there's still a lot more to come from him. He looks now to evolve more as a midfielder, recently. I personally like him as a striker.

The Canisius College men's basketball team will start play in the 29th annual NIT Season Tip-Off Tournament at Rutgers on Monday, Nov. 18, with game time set for 7:30 p.m., on ESPN3. The Golden Griffins will play either Drexel or Elon the following day in The RAC on Rutgers' campus.
The Griffs will be playing in the NIT Season Tip-Off for the first time since the 1995-96 season when the Blue and Gold advanced to the second round with a win over Penn before falling to George Washington. The game against Rutgers will be the first in program history. The Scarlet Knights went 15-16 overall and 5-13 in Big East play. Rutgers returns seven letterwinners and three starters from last year's team, which is now led by first-year head coach Eddie Jordan. The school will compete in the American Athletic Conference this season before moving to the Big Ten Conference for the 2014-15 academic year.
On Nov. 19, Canisius will either play Drexel for the first time in school history or the Griffs will meet Elon for the second time in the last eight months. Canisius and Elon met for the first time in school history March 20, when the Blue and Gold defeated the Phoenix by a score of 69-53 in the first round of the CollegeInsider.com Postseason Tournament.
The winners of the preliminary rounds advance to the semifinals at New York City's Madison Square Garden on Nov. 27. The consolation and championship games will be played Nov. 29.
The remaining teams will play third and fourth-round doubleheaders Nov. 25 and 26 on the campuses of the three highest remaining seeds. Participating teams will not play any team twice and the third and fourth-rounds will be assigned to the most geographically compatible site possible.The Griffs will officially open the 110th season in program history Monday, Nov. 11, when the Blue and Gold plays host to South Dakota in the Koessler Athletic Center. Game time is set for 7 p.m. Season tickets for the 26-game men's and women's home slate are now on sale through the Canisius Ticket Office by calling 716-888-2885 between from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday-Friday.


text: yes dre hedged on the screen expecting a hand off. Im glad he was in to learn from it rather than sitting on the bench hearing about it. We actually had some nice momentum going into the first ot, but some silly 1 on 1 play and worse 1 on 5 plays were the eventual end for us.

installing a roller camshaft
When you put a roller cam in a non-roller block, does it just go in like a regular flat tappet cam, or are there other things required such as cam button spacers and what not. They sell these spacers that prevent camshaft "walking" and they sell special cams for non-roller blocks. Are these needed? Whats the difference between a regular roller cam and a special cam for non-roller blocks??? Can you just throw in a regualar roller camshaft or do I need a special cam?? I know everything else needed, like special valve springs, roller lifters, and stronger pushrods, special distributer gears, head machining, cam clearing rods, and optional rev kits. Also, I have a set of brodix heads set up for a roller camshaft and I was wondering if anyone knew if they needed special length push rods or if I can use stock length. Any info will help, thanx again.
When you install a roller cam in a non roller block you need some way to controll the latteral position of the cam, thus you use a cam button. The roller block is machined for a thrust plate, this fits between the cam and the drive gear allowing minimal movement.
Yes you use a different cam if the block wasn't set up for roller, the front of the cam is different where the gear attaches. Use the correct cam for the correct block, use a bronze gear on steel billet cams, valve springs for roller cams generally have lots much more seat pressure than non roller, yes you have to check for interferance allow .050" clearance, several types of lifters are available, go with cam grinders recom, do not mix hydraulic with solid grinds, push rods will have to be sorted out to the combination you are running, older style rev kits tend to not fit the newer aftermkt heads well,not enuff surface area on the bottom side of the head. aftermkt heads usually have enuff spring and guide clearance and travel, but you have to check.
just joined forum great advice, also in process of converting to a roller, been running gears instead of chain,with aluminum cover.it was set up for clearance. will this be the same clearances you have been talking about . thanks rob

As a member of the University Honors Program, engineering tutor and part of the SOAR Leadership program, Vivienne took advantage of all RWU has to offer, but it's her membership in the Society of Women Engineers (SWE) that was the most influential. Thanks to SWE, Vivienne attended national conferences in Long Beach, Calif. and Orlando, Fla. where she made connections in her field and landed an internship with ITT Corporation working on GPS satellites. After another internship at BAE Systems, Vivienne is headed to graduate school for robotics at the University of Pennsylvania.
What was the best thing about studying at RWU?
"My favorite thing about my program is the student to teacher ratio. All of my professors know me, and they are always available for extra class help, or even just to talk. I have gone to my academic advisor, Linda Riley, for various problems outside of the classroom, and Dean Potter jokes with me on a regular basis. I know that I would not get this type of personal interaction at most other schools, and their availability has really helped me to do my best at RWU."

In just one year, the Canisius College men's soccer team took a big step and started to make a name for itself at both the national and regional level. From 2011 to 2012, the Golden Griffins doubled their season win total and the eight victories last season are tied for the most in the program's history against Division I competition.
A very young squad, Canisius also received votes in the national poll for the first time in school history and reached as high as second in the NSCAA North Atlantic poll, while increasing its goal differential from minus-19 to plus-2.
However, while the Griffs were still making their climb up the ladder last season, the team realized there are still a couple more steps needed before reaching the top. The goal for the 2013 campaign is to finish what it started and reach the pinnacle of the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference.
"Our goal every year is to win a MAAC Championship," said Canisius head coach Dermot McGrane. "I'm now entering my third season and we're no longer a young and inexperienced team. We have a great deal of talent on the team and now, we have the maturity to match it."
The key is for the youth of the last two seasons to take what it has learned to reach its potential in 2013. Eliminate the easy mistakes, focus on the finer details and play complete 90-minute games could lead the Griffs to reaching the top of the conference.
"Last season, we scored a lot of goals but we also gave up way too many," McGrane said. "A lot of the goals that we conceded were the result of individual mental mistakes. I think the maturity of the team this season will eliminate a lot of those errors. We are still doing a lot of work individually and as a team to improve our defending and make us more difficult to score on."
Perhaps the biggest area of improvement during the last 12 months was on offense. Canisius doubled its scoring output from the 2011 campaign to 2012, going from 15 goals to 30 tallies just one season later.
While the Griffs have to replace All-MAAC First Team honoree Gavin Falconer, Canisius does return NSCAA All-Regional selection Asani Samuels. Teaming with Samuels up front is a number of unique players, which will give the Griffs different looks to play with.
"We have a number of options to play up front," said McGrane. "There is a lot of talent at the forward position and they all bring a different style and skill set to the position."
Andrew Incho • Sr • 15gp, 1 point, 1a, 3 shots
"Andrew is always dangerous when he is on the field," McGrane said. "He is a very athletic player who attacks the ball well in the box. His long throw-ins are also a very important weapon to our team."
Derek Maier • Jr • 15gp, 7 shots
"Derek is looking like he is going to have the best year of his career," McGrane said. "He came into preseason camp with a different attitude and I'm expecting big things from him this year."
Asani Samuels • Jr • 17gp, 8 points, 4g, 48 shots
"Asani is a big, quick and athletic forward who is always a threat," McGrane said "He demands a lot of attention from the opposition's defense and opens up a lot of space for other players."
Eric Ashley • So • 18gp, 12 points, 5 goals, 2 assists, 32 shots (Ashland University)
"Eric flies under the radar for a lot of the game but can pop up at any time with a goal," McGrane said. "He has a tremendous shot and ability to hit the target."
Mitch Cancilla • Fr • Grand Island, N.Y.
"Mitch is a strong, rugged forward who plays very well with his back to the goal," McGrane said. "He is a very versatile player with a great first touch."
The midfield unit is another position that is very deep and provides the Griffs with a number of options. Anchoring the unit are senior Will Hudson and junior Denver Speraman, who are also both serving as captains in 2013.
The two veterans have combined to play in 86 games during their careers and are the Griffs' top two returning scorers with Hudson recording 13 points last season and Spearman totaling nine as a sophomore. In total, there are 10 players who will anchor the middle of the field and look to control the tempo, including a number of newcomers that can make an immediate impact.
"We return five players who all saw time in the midfield last year and give us a lot of experience there," McGrane said. "We are also adding a number of players who will help strengthen that unit and give us a number of options depending on our opponent."
Brandon Carnovale • Sr • 1gp
"Brandon is a versatile player with a good first touch," McGrane said. "He could see time in the midfield or at back."
Will Hudson • Sr • 17gp, 13 points, 5g, 3a, 19 shots
"Will Hudson is one of our key leaders and will be a captain this year," McGrane said. "He is tremendous receiving the ball under pressure. I'm expecting him to have a dominant senior season."
Justin Montero • Sr • 4gp, 1 shot
"Justin has dealt with a lot of injuries during his career so far," McGrane said. "We're really hoping that he can stay healthy for his senior year and that he will be able to contribute to the midfield or up front."
Pat Conlon • Jr • 6gp, 2 shots
"Pat has put in a lot of work to improve in the last 12 months," McGrane said. "He is good on the ball, has excellent technique and is capable of scoring goals."
Andrea Conte • Jr • 6gp, 4 shots
"Andrea is another player that saw limited time last year but has really worked hard to improve in the offseason," McGrane said. "He is very good going forward and has excellent technique."
Denver Spearman • Jr • 14gp, 9 points, 3g, 3a, 37 shots
"Denver has a relentless work ethic," McGrane said. "When combined with his quality of play, it makes him a very dangerous midfielder on both attack and defense."
Chris Berardi • So • 10gp, 5 shots
"As a rookie last year, Chris got some valuable playing time and has improved a lot in the last year," McGrane said. "He is good at going forward and is very capable of scoring goals."
Nicoló Baudo • So • 20gp, 10 points, 4g, 2a, 29 shots (Nyack College)
"Nico has a great engine in the middle of the field," McGrane said. "He has excellent technique and vision, which we think will allow him to make an immediate impact on our team."
Charlie Cosentino • Fr • Rochester, N.Y.
"Charlie is a physical player with an ability to score goals," McGrane said. "He has a great work rate and excellent movement."
Francesco Strangio • Fr • Niagara Falls, N.Y.
"Francesco is an extremely talented player," McGrane said. "He has the ability to control the tempo of the game with his range of passes."
While the offense was able to see a drastic improvement in McGrane's second campaign leading the Griffs – improving by 15 goals – the defense also improved by conceding six fewer goals. While it was an improvement, McGrane expects it to be even better during the 2013 campaign. The good news is that Canisius returns all of its contributors from last season and with another year of experience, McGrane believes the unit can match the offense with its improvement.
"We're very fortunate to be returning all four starting defenders from last year," McGrane said. "We also add a couple of very talented newcomers, which will increase competition for places and create added depth to the unit."
Anchoring the unit is junior Ryan Schroen, who is also serving as team captain, and sophomore Alex De Carolis, who was one of just two underclassmen named to the MAAC All-Preseason Team.
Paul Dhaliwal • Sr • 1gp
"Paul has improved a great deal during my time here," McGrane said. He will add depth to the unit and will compete for playing time on the outside."
Zack Schwartz • Sr • 1gp
"Zack is another player that has shown a great deal of improvement since I arrived here," McGrane said. "He has an excellent work rate and will add depth to the backline."
Jon Cary • Jr • 17gp, 4 points, 1g, 2a
"Jon is a big, physical player," McGrane said. "He has a great work rate, great awareness and is very good at going forward into the attack."
A.C. LaFlore • Jr • 16gp, 3 shots
"A.C. LaFlore is a big, tough defender," McGrane said. "He is very good in the air and is working on improving with the ball at his feet."
Ryan Schroen • Jr • 17gp, 1 shot
"Ryan is one of the most intelligent defenders that I've seen in a long time," McGrane said. "He has a great ability to read the game and is an outstanding 1-on-1 defender."
Alex DeCarolis • So • 17gp, 7 points, 3g, 1a, 24 shots
"Alex is another strong defender on the outside who likes to get forward in the attack," McGrane said. "He is a handful for any team we play against due to his athleticism and incredible work rate."
Derek Dedman • Fr • Noblesville, Ind.
"Derek is a versatile player who will see time at holding midfielder or central defense," McGrane said. "He has good size and is very comfortable with the ball at his feet."
Thomas Teupen • Fr • Münster, Germany
"Thomas can play holding midfielder or central defense for us," McGrane said. "He has a great understanding of the game and is excellent in the air. Thomas will also be a threat on attacking set pieces."
The unit most up for grabs this season is at goalkeeper with four talented players manning the position. While the Griffs graduated Kareem Gray, who started 13-of-17 contests last season, the team does return two players who saw valuable time over the past two seasons in senior Ryan Arvin and junior Eric DeHond, who finished the 2012 campaign as the Griffs' top netminder.
"We have three returners and one incoming goalie who are all capable of leading us this season," McGrane said. "We are approaching it in preseason that it is a position up for grabs and basically the best one of the four is going to play."
Ryan Arvin • Sr • 2gp, 0.81 gaa, .500 sv pct.
"Ryan has come back for his senior year and has arrived in the best shape that I have ever seen him," McGrane said. "He looks serious about wanting to win the starting job and he has been playing well so far."
Eric DeHond • Jr • 4gp, 2.00 gaa, .720 sv pct.
"Eric got some valuable experience last year and closed out the end of the season as the starter," McGrane said. "He has a lot of potential and we're looking forward to see what he can bring this season. He still has to work to make the position his."
Reiner Dollak • Jr
"Reiner has all the tools to be a dominant Division I goalkeeper," McGrane said. "In his first two years, the mental side of the game let him down a little. We're hoping that he has gained some maturity in his junior year and that will help his game."
John Hollinger • Fr • Fairfax, Va.
"John is a very athletic player and a great shot stopper," McGrane said. "It is always tough for a freshmen to break in the starting lineup immediately but he has definitely shown a lot of potential."
The Griffs kick off the 2013 season on Friday, August 30 with a road contest against Buckenll. Canisius then plays at St. Francis (Pa.) before returning to Buffalo to face UMass Lowell in its home opener on Sept. 8. The Griffs also host Robert Morris and in non-conference action, while playing at Buffalo, Western Michigan, Detroit and St. Bonaventure.
The quest for the 2013 MAAC Championship begins on Oct. 5, playing host to Manhattan. Canisius also welcomes Siena, Niagara, Iona and Monmouth to the Demske Sports Complex, while playing at Marist, Fairfield, Quinnipiac, Saint Peter's and Rider during the conference season.
The top four teams during the regular season qualify for the 2013 MAAC Championship, held on the campus of Fairfield. The semifinals are slated for Nov. 15 with the title game on Nov. 17.

Cisco/Oracle Surgery on SPECjEnterprise

Read about how Cisco/Oracle's new "world record" SPECjEnterprise2010 result is like gum surgery.
Exadata Buckeye Brouhaha
While IBM has been publishing detailed ads and press releases backed by meticulous industry standard benchmark results, it's certainly not a given in the rest of the industry.
Yesterday, Oracle once again published a press release which claimed performance on their Exadata system.
Was this claim backed by industry standard data? No. Was this claim backed by a proof of concept? No. Was this claim backed by a white paper with data? No.
This claim was something that Oracle tells us was seen by one of their customers. With headquarters in Ohio. Land of the Wright Brothers and good Midwest values. Land of LeBron and Jimmy Dimora.
I can say this because I live in Ohio. And I love it but I still wouldn't trust my neighbor further than a pig's ear without any data.

How can I make use of benchmarks in my purchasing decision?

IBM #1 in Oracle Benchmark
Oracle provides a suite of vendor benchmarks to measure the performance of Oracle applications called the Oracle E-Business Suite Standard Benchmark. This benchmark is a comparable standard workload which demonstrates the performance and scalability of Oracle applications and provides metrics for the comparison of performance on different system configurations.
IBM just published another #1 POWER7 benchmark result on one of Oracle's own benchmarks. The IBM Power 710 6-core system now leads in the R12 Order-to-Cash Medium Model. IBM surpassed Cisco and HP in this benchmark by over 2 times the performance per core. (1)
So my question here is what happens when Oracle decides to have a hardware presence in this specific benchmark? Are we taking bets?
(1)A 6-core IBM Power 710 (3.72 GHz) achieved the best medium two-tier Order-to-Cash batch result (213,523 lines per hour) running AIX 6.1 and IBM System Storage DS5100. A 12-core Cisco UCS B200 (3.33 GHz) achieved medium two-tier Order-to-Cash batch result (185,643 lines per hour). An 8-core HP DL380 (3.16 GHz) achieved medium two-tier Order-to-Cash batch result (108,108 lines per hour).

IBM's Hip Benchmarks
estahl 0600029JQ8 Tags:  specjenterprise2010 specvirt_sc2010 stac 3,649 Views
I am embarrassed to admit that I am one of the last people to adopt anything hip. It took me years to decide to buy my first pair of capris. Remember when those knit caps from Nepal became really popular a few years ago? I just got one. I also just bought my first pair of Ugg-like boots last month.
Luckily I have a cousin who is a designer in New York City or I would be a total loss.
Which is why I have a real appreciation for anything that is hip. And I realized that IBM has actually been very prescient these days with new hip benchmark results. Let's take a look at a few:
I did realize that there are a few times where I am actually an early style adopter -- when I still have something from the 1970's that comes back into style.
(1)SPECjEnterprise2010 result with WebSphere Application Server V7 on IBM Power 780 (64 cores, 8 chips) and DB2 9.7 on IBM Power 750 Express (32 cores, 4 chips) of 16,646.34 EjOPS.

Too Many IBM SAP #1's
Walking the dog this week, you felt that spring was in the air. The boots with crampons were put back in the closet. The sun on my face, I could almost imagine reading in my beach chair. And my black lab found grass and dirt mounds, instead of making yellow spots in the white snow.
Yet I just found out this afternoon that besides our flood warning now in effect, a new weather development has formed. A winter storm watch has now turned into a full winter storm warning. With 10 inches or more snow expected. As I write, I see the rain turning to icy chunks. And all I feel like saying is wow, I don't know if I can take any more.
Which is sort of how I felt today when I saw the new #1 IBM SAP Sales and Distribution (SD) 2-tier 16-core result.(1) I mean, IBM already has the top three results in this Unicode benchmark using POWER7 systems.(2) And the highest x86 result, with the IBM x3850 X5.(3) And now we have another outstanding proof point with DB2 on the IBM Power 730, a high-performance, dense and energy-efficient server ideal for running multiple application and infrastructure workloads.
My dog's coat is so plush that we sometimes call him Steiff. Sometimes we even find him stretched out, just relaxing, in a pile of snow.
I guess he can take some more.
(1)SAP SD 2-tier result of 8,704 benchmark users, Average dialog response time 0.97 seconds, CPU utilization of central server 99%, AIX 7.1, DB2 9.7, SAP enhancement package 4 for SAP ERP 6.0, Certification number: 2011011, IBM Power 730, 2 processors / 16 cores / 64 threads, POWER7, 3.55 GHz, 32 KB (I) and 32 KB (D) L1 cache and 256 KB L2 cache per core, 4 MB L3 cache per core, 128 GB main memory.
