Family Fun on Molokai
After your plane touches down on Molokai, take your kids back to its open, inviting skies with a visit to the Big Wind Kite Factory in Maunaloa. They can be their own flight captains, piloting their ships on the trade winds. This is just one of Molokai's family friendly activities. Whether you're building sand castles on Papohaku Beach, one of Hawaii's largest white sand beaches, learning about the island's Hawaiian fishponds, or taking a tour of a macadamia nut farm, you'll have plenty of time to reconnect with your family.
And to remember your family vacation, send a real coconut from Central Molokai's Hoolehua Post Office. They provide the coconut and colored markers, you provide the address and the postage. Tell everyone back home about how much fun your family is having on Molokai.

Put on some old clothes you don't want anymore. The tighter the better.
Get someone (my wife in my case) to completely wrap you in duct tape from ankles to neck.
Be prepared to be made fun of and possibly have a panic attack.
Cut off the clothes with scissors in one big long cut (if possible).
Tape up the incision on your weird duct tape skin suit.
Fill the suit with expanding foam. I put 4 ft. wood dowels through the legs for support (they run from the ankles up into the body).
I used almost two rolls of tape. Home Depot sells decent size rolls for about $3. It's not the best but it doesn't matter. The most expensive part is the foam. I think I used about six cans at $5 a piece. There may be a cheaper alternative. Now, I know what people are thinking, "but you can just buy a store mannequin for about $100." That's true, but this thing is my exact build/size, and you can make it any pose you want very easily. It's very rigid and seems to be working fine. Time will tell how it holds up.

text: It's really common for people in the southeastern US to refer to European Hornets as Japanese Hornets. Sure, it'd be great if everyone used the correct nomenclature for everything, but since we don't have any actual Japanese Hornets here to get confused with, and since everyone knows what you're talking about, it's really not that big of a deal.But yeah, I've been having a problem with them hawking my girls lately too. Bugs the crap out of me, but until I can find their nest (no luck so far - but I've been looking) it doesn't seem like there's much that can be done to stop them.


text: Ok, so who is your favorite player? Now, I'm not asking you who would you take if you were to start an NBA franchise. I'm not asking you who is the best individual player in the league. I'm not asking you who is your favorite Piston. If you pick your best player based on any of these criteria, that's cool. But you can pick based on anything. So if someone picks Darko...that's cool. He's not saying he's the best player...just his favorite. If someone (***cough KIM cough*) picks the player with the best booty...so be it. It's cool too. My favorite player? I used to think it was Arenas...but you know, he's a bit of an ass. So tonight I was looking at fantasy stats. My boy Ginoboli was doing kinda crappy tonight. I was thinking...that's OK, Manu. Ypu give it your all. You're a winner. You are getting assists and other stuff to help your team. You've got all that talent and you WANT to come off the pine to help your boys. That's a team player. That's how I play games too...minus the talent, of course. I love the flopping. Anyone who has seen me play fantasy sports knows that if it's in the rules...I'll do it. I like Ginoboli. Love the flops. Love the effort. I wish more players were like him. Manu Ginoboli is my favorite NBA player. Never even thought about it until tonight. So tell us. Who is your favorite player?

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|69 widetrack
I know your work is second to none...and yes, I feel mislead...LOL (just kidding). I just know from experience what your talking about, the shop considered to be high end, charging the big dollar for mediocre work at best...and what gets me POed more than anything, the customer is happy with it.
I feel your on the right track as far as getting customers to grasp the full situation. It's an education that these customers need. What I've tried to do and it has worked, is to let my past customers have a hand in the education. If it comes from them it's true, if it comes from you, the customer may feel your just trying to get more for your work. I did a car for the customer I'm working with now many years ago and the best thing I did was let him help where he thought he could in the restoration. When he started I remember him saying "how hard can it be", he soon realized he didn't have the aptitude for what he wanted to end up with, he quickly became a believer and has been one of my best advertisers since.
As far as you bringing a car you did a full frame off and getting no leads...I can understand your frustration there as well. I did a Corvette many years ago and took it to a local car show. The gaps where all even, the car was straight and the paint was one of the best jobs I feel I ever did (have you ever had that one paint job where after your done you look at it and say polishing this car isn't going to improve it at all? I think in all the years I've been doing this I've had 2 and this was one of them). It won absolutely nothing...and to top it off, what did win was one of those cars your talking about. Frustrating to say the least...I found out that one of the judges was a Dentist that didn't know paint from Shineola so I didn't feel as bad.
Honestly, I'm glad to hear that your just venting, I think it frustrates everybody whose in our shoes and venting does feel good every once in a while.
|Sorry to mislead you Ray, I was just venting a little about the quality I see coming from other shops. I have been very fortunate to have had some very good customers and their word of mouth to lead to more work coming in. For the most part have not had much trouble getting the customers. I remember bringing a car I did a full frame off to Hershey Pa. back in 2010 (with a display promoting the restorations) and came back with absolutely no leads at all. Was very dissapointing back then but it has picked up quite a bit since. But it is difficult and frustrating to get a potential customer to grasp a full resto type paint job and the time, materials and potential unseen problems that do arise.
|69 widetrack
What I like a lot about what I do now, is the fact that I can work at my own pace, my deadlines are not carved in stone, (I am still told that I push myself to hard at times and then told that that's why they take their projects to me). You already have a following, one of your customer's posted and glowed about you...that's a fantastic start, leverage it if you can...be with that customer at car shows and meet the people that are prepared to pay...it called networking. I did it for years, I've lived in many cities in Canada and the build I'm on now is from over 1,700 mile away from a customer that I did work for many years ago...again, networking, your work is of top caliber, use what you've done and the people you've done it for.
Hope this helps and from a guy whose been there...I do completely understand. I'll give you 2 words that I've used in this post that I feel you should focus on leverage and networking.
|Well to be honest Ray what bothers me the most is I do see and hear what other shops are getting for paint jobs and we both know that all your labor is in the blocking and buffing. These "others" are clearly not spending much time on either. So where is all this labor being spent? Just can not see it, most of what I see around the new england area at shows quite a few will fall into this catagory. When you see nothing but ripples and cellulite they just are not getting what they are paying for. The vast majority of customers will baulk at the cost of a real nice paintjob, but will think nothing of dropping $40 to $50K doing their kittchens over. A couple contractors are in and out in a couple weeks if not sooner, you are not doing a full show quality paintjob in a couple of weeks. They just don't seem to agnolige what is involved to pull it off. A very big lack of education in this line of work, clearly.
|69 widetrack
So true...that's one of the reasons I I prefer to do as much from the frame up myself as I can...(there are other reasons as well but this is one). So many people I know will spend between $20K and $30K on and engine, $9K on a transmission and it goes on and on....but when it comes to spending $15K to $20K on the body....well, I get "that's way to much, I've built 20 cars and never spent that much (this is the guy that hasn't built any but pays to subcontract a build), how do you sleep at night". I find that if I give a quote for an entire project, the money for the body and paint doesn't seem that bad. It's worked well on 2 large builds in the past and the one that I'm doing now (the latest one is an old customer that I've done work for in the past and he's the guy that gave me the idea).
I wonder how many technicians go from air file to primer versus air file, to long board or block to primer when that panel needs to be perfectly straight?
Apparently quite a few from the level of workmanship that I have seen coming out of far too many resto shops. I personally think the biggest problem is they can't do it, period. Most of what I see out there, and I look hard is most shops that do this work treat them like it is collision work and resto work is not the same. A friend of mine had a talk once with the owner at a well known shop, and asked about the finish body and paint work as to why they don't take the time and make the paint work as good as all the rest of the detail work that they do which is at the highest levels I have seen. The answer he got was the customer does not want too spend the time and money it takes to bring it to the levels he was reffering to. But at $20 to 30K for body and paint they should look far better. Maybe I am nuts but if your going too take all the pain staking time and research involved to detail a car to the perfection these guys will take it too why not take the paint work to the same level as everything else. After all the first thing you see and notice first is the bodywork and paint, that draws you in like a magnet.
|69 widetrack
So true Brian...I've had customers ask me how long do I wait before I cut and polish a car...I tell them that I usually wait a couple of days for the clear to cure (depending on the amount of clear, was it baked, temperature etc.)....Then I get asked about leaving it for longer in case of sinking or or sand scratches...I tell them that they needn't worry, I finished my body work in 320 grit. I know with 180 your not going to have a problem with sinking....it's just that insurance policy I take out for myself and on a fender it may take an extra 15 minutes of blocking. That's time well spent when your doing custom or restoration work...that extra time, maybe not so much when your doing insurance work. It's all relevant, I want to give my customers the best I possibly can...If your finishing in 180 for Insurance Company's, in most cases your probably giving them more than their paying for.
I still want to get it as close as possible and finish it off in 180. I will joke with the paint shop "you are going to just paint over this right, no need to waste primer".
|69 widetrack
Brian...I think we lost a little bit of the art when we went from lacquer primer to high build...lacquer primer didn't fill that well and your body work needed to be straight...when high build came out, and I'm old enough to remember, most body men hated it...you had to clean the primer gun after using it, it had to sit overnight before sanding, the early 2K primer sanded harder than lacquer primer, lacquer primer dried quick, sanded like powder and could sit in the paint pot for however long you wanted it to. How could a flat rate body man make a decent living...and then it was explained that they didn't need to finish there bodywork as nice because the primer would fill 80 grit and even 40 grit scratches. Of coarse we know what eventually happens, sinking, sand scratches paint dying off etc. but, like you mentioned, how many body men or painters see their work 1 or 2 years after it leaves the shop.
And there are people who use that primer to fix wavy body work, and of course that is one of the reasons it's there, to "catch" something missed, not to PLAN on catching the flaws. That is the mistake some make, they PLAN on the primer doing the finish surfacing. I like to ask the primer to do as little as possible.
|69 widetrack
I wonder how many technicians go from air file to primer versus air file, to long board or block to primer when that panel needs to be perfectly straight?
|Ray, do understand completely what you are saying. I have used the mudhog in the past for certain jobs, on something that I am trying to get through quick. But as far as doing the type of work, where you can put your eye right to the edge of any panel and move back and forth and side to side and see no distortion what so ever, that is where the hand sanding really pays off. And the bottom line is if it was fast and easy to accomplish you would see far more straight cars out there. Do apoligize for the highjack....
|69 widetrack
Yes Brian...that's probably the main reason I'm not that big a fan of air boards...the weight...when I've taught at several Community Colleges I always expressed the importance of letting the paper do the work and not to apply pressure on the block but, with an air board, the shear weight alone applies pressure. It just seemed contradictory to what I was trying to teach. Again, and please don't anyone get me wrong, they do have a purpose and work well when used properly, as I mentioned earlier, I feel I have more control with a hand held long board.
Ray, you brought up an interesting point that I haven't thought about in years. I remember using that air board on a large flat panel where I held it's weight off the hood and simply let the sand paper cut the filler without flexing the hood at all providing a pretty flat panel when done. LOLOL, I guess the rule is don't ever get rid of a tool as I did because you may just be able to use it again.
|69 widetrack
Henry I would not for one minute suggest that using air tools for sanding was hack work...it's not. For me, it's a matter of preference and the only difference is that you may use an air file to rough out your body work and I do it with my long board. Hack...not a chance nor would I suggest that it was. You do good work and I respect you for that.
One thing I will say though about air files versus long boards on large flat panels like a hood is the fact that you have less control of the weight of the air board versus a long hand held board. I have found in the past (and one of the main reasons I don't like using them any more) is because of the heavier weight and the speed at which it knocks down filler, it's much easier to over sand. A long board is slower but, I feel you have more control.
I hope you don't take offence to my opinion as none was intended. As I mentioned in "#13 permalink" about the elderly man that straightened out a Dodge Dart rear quarter panel with an 8 inch Hutchins Mud Hog"...I never got as good as that man with his air tool and really I don't feel that it's an art that I care to master. I'm only concerned about how straight my panels are using the tools that I feel I have somewhat mastered.
With all due respect.

I cant.
Im canadian so quoting Canadian numbers. My Rio is rated at 6.6l/100km city and 4.9 HWY. To translate that is 35 city and 48 hwy US numbers.
I regularly get about 8.0l/100km in the city and hwy im not sure as i haven't really driven it on the higway for more than a half hour, but the avg fuel economy will read around 6.2 which is 38mpg.
The van, well, i dont really drive it often, but after the wife has driven it the fuel economy usually reads mid teens L/100km or about 15mpg which is terrible. But i did manage to get just a hair over the sticker mileage which is 7.9 and i achieved 8.3 which is 28mpg.
Both cars are new. Rio has 1800km and caravan about 5000km

The War Against Children Spreads to Canada
posted at 9:15 pm on December 12, 2009 by Dafydd ab Hugh
The Canadian newspaper the National Post has hit upon a brilliant solution to all the world's problems; not only that, they have discovered that if their solution is not implemented immediately, the Earth will be destroyed in short order.
But the solution turns out to be simple… ban children!
The "inconvenient truth" overhanging the UN's Copenhagen conference is not that the climate is warming or cooling, but that humans are overpopulating the world.
A planetary law, such as China's one-child policy, is the only way to reverse the disastrous global birthrate currently, which is one million births every four days.
The article (opinion piece, whatever they consider it) was written by Diane Francis and published in last Tuesday's business section (called the "Financial Post," after a newspaper that the National Post gobbled up). Friend Lee tells me that on yesterday's O'Reilly Factor, Laura Ingraham "ripped Diane Francis a new one." I wish I'd seen it.
Incidentally, I wonder which of Francis' two children she regrets having?
I published a post some days ago, noting that a very significant portion of the global enviromentalist "movement" does not love nature half so much as it hates Mankind. Back then, I wrote:
But a darker motive lurks at the intersection of cultic environmentalism and madness; it's not just that the rich should be killed and eaten, that's old hat; humanity itself is a cancer upon the Earth… and it must be expunged. The anti-human radicals at, e.g., the Earth Liberation Front (ELF) believe that amputation is the planet's last hope; we must extirpate the human race.
And these "elves" are driving the environmentalism bus.
I believe the entire movement is riddled with people who believe Mankind itself should be exterminated, as the only way to open the door for a truly "green" Gaea. It's not everybody who calls himself an enviro; it's not Ed Begley, jr., for example. But it is the activist crust, and they're the ones pushing the agenda. I truly believe that many of what I call the "enviro-mental cases" see globaloney hysteria as their best shot at so devastating the world economy that our global population is reduced to a fraction of our current level… where "reduced" is a euphemism for an almost Malthusian die-off of human beings.
And the One We Have Elected is, all unwittingly — or simply not caring, so long as he gets his — playing right into the nihilists' hands.
Compare and contrast today's story in the National Post:
The world's other species, vegetation, resources, oceans, arable land, water supplies and atmosphere are being destroyed and pushed out of existence as a result of humanity's soaring reproduction rate.
Ironically, China, despite its dirty coal plants, is the world's leader in terms of fashioning policy to combat environmental degradation, thanks to its one-child-only edict.
Say… isn't China also the world's leader in poisoning people with everything from toxic frozen potstickers and vegetables, to toxic toothpaste, pet food, blood thinner, salt, instant noodles, lead-filled paint and lead-coated toys, and dozens of other pollution-related poisoning incidents, killing hundreds of people around the world. (They also sold industrial oil as "cooking oil.")
Many countries have adopted policies of banning Chinese imports — evidently unaware that the Chinese policy of forced, post-partum "abortions" gives them "absolute moral authority" (as Ann Coulter likes to say) to poison those humans lucky enough to dodge the birth dragnet and be born.
The tale ends with the usual Gaea panacea for every plague and pestilence: totalitarianism:
For those who balk at the notion that governments should control family sizes, just wait until the growing human population turns twice as much pastureland into desert as is now the case, or when the Amazon is gone, the elephants disappear for good and wars erupt over water, scarce resources and spatial needs….
The only fix is if all countries drastically reduce their populations, clean up their messes and impose mandatory conservation measures.
In Robert Graves' novel about the Roman emperor Claudius, he has Caligula say something along the lines of "I would that all Rome had but a single throat, so I could cut it." Well, today's enviro-mental cases do the mad emperor one better: They wish to halve the human population, thus condemning the remaining half to lives of grinding poverty, a further collapse in population, eventual extinction — and the utter loss of liberty, freedom, and dignity in the few remaining years we will have.
Alternatively, the developed (i.e., "civilized") countries will impose the one-child policy, while the developing (i.e., "third world") countries — such as Yemen, Qatar, Libya, Sudan, and Indonesia — will export their burgeoning population of radical jihadis to take the place of the forcibly aborted babies. Then Francis can call for the global imposition of sharia law and complete the triumph of her brand of "feminism."
But sharia cannot sustain itself in the absence of a civilized world to buy its oil and sell it the guns it needs to rule its own people; thus the new global ummah will quickly collapse into chaos and the war of all against all; heck, it's almost there already! Either way, in the end, Gaea will reign supreme over a world without Man.
Heavens, in what deep and deadly currents of hatred and misanthropy these enviros swim.

American taxpayers could be forced to pay hundreds of millions of dollars to cover the costs of President Obama's new immigration policy – including footing the bill for illegal immigrant application fees, according to internal Dept. of Homeland Security documents.
The president's policy goes into effect next week and is expected to cost taxpayers more than $350 million to implement in just the first year, according to an analysis from Sen. Jeff Sessions' office. And that amount could increase substantially depending on the number of illegals who might apply.
The documents reveal DHS is expected to hire 1,569 full-time workers – in addition to contractors who will be responsible for taking deferred action requests and running background checks, according to Sessions' office.
The Obama administration has publicly said they expected about 800,000 illegals to apply for deferred action during the first year of implementation.
However, according to DHS documents, the government actually expects 1,041,300 illegals to apply.
That's because the administration has expanded the pool of eligible applicants. Initially, illegals were required to have graduated from an American high school or earned a GED. But now the government will allow applicants so long as they re-enroll in school by the date of their application.
Less than ten percent of the new employees will be hired to detect fraud – one for every 8,010 applications.
While DHS said the illegal immigrants will be required to pay fees, they said illegals will also be allowed to apply for fee exemptions. Those fee exemptions could cost taxpayers as much as $121 million.
Two Republican lawmakers have sent a letter to DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano expressing their concerns about the costs of the program. Rep. Lamar Smith R-TX and Sen. Charles Grassley R-IA said the plan puts the interest of illegal immigrants ahead of the interests of legal immigrants and American taxpayers.
"It is an additional insult to make U.S. taxpayers foot the bill for this massive amnesty program," the lawmakers wrote. "We deserve honesty and accountability, and seek to ensure that legal immigrants and taxpayers will not be hurt by this faulty plan."
And those aren't the only concerns voiced by lawmakers. U.S. Sen. Jeff Sessions R-AL warned that President Obama has "capitulated to lawlessness" and put public safety in jeopardy.
"It is a direct threat to the rule of law and to the demonstrated desire of the American people for a lawful system of immigration," Sessions said. "I believe this administration has utilized this policy to basically undermine and negate the ability of law enforcement officers to do what they have been hired and paid to do."
The Obama administration will also allow illegals with felony convictions into the country. And in a stunning development, aliens who have been convicted of crimes under "state immigration laws" may be granted deferred action.
Sessions told Fox News that according to his understanding of the implementation documents, aliens who are using stolen or fraudulent Social Security numbers in order to gain employment will not be charged with a crime.
"Individuals who assert they are under thirty are eligible for work authorization and legal status," he said. "And while the administration purports that applicants for amnesty must have entered the country prior to the age of 16, it is a completely unenforceable and unverifiable standard. It will have a dramatic and adverse effect on ordinary enforcement activities."

An MP tried to charge the taxpayer for his pint of milk.
Hove MP Mike Weatherley was refused the refund for the 50 pence pint which he tried to claim on his parliamentary expenses.
The latest records released last night showed Sussex MPs claimed a total of £85,000 in expenses during September and October.
Mr Weatherley put in the claim for 50p for "milk for tea and coffee in the office" on September 6 but was told it was "not claimable under the scheme".
When questioned about the refused claim Mr Weatherley joked about changes to the new expenses rules introduced to stop MPs abusing their privileges.
Worthing West MP Peter Bottomley also had a claim dismissed.
He asked for £32.99 to be reimbursed for a mobile phone bill, but it was turned down because Ipsa said there was "insufficient evidence" it should be paid.
Lewes MP Norman Baker claimed £14,834, which mostly covered office costs and travel.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|i will have to check that out, i replaced my whole front end on my truck three years ago and so far ive brokin 2 tie rods and just dont trust the parts that i baught from checkers when they were around. btw i work at napa now so i should've already known bout this promotion haha. thanks
NAPA Promotion - Updated - Still a good deal
I am not trying to advertise something here only trying to share what appears to be a good deal that others may want to take advantage of. If this is determined to be a violation though please delete it.
While pricing new parts for a camaro subframe project I happened to call my local NAPA store for their pricing. After giving me the costs the sales guy asked if I was interested in a promotion which could save me some money. As the cost of the parts was over $400 I took the bait and asked for more information.
Seems they have a promo related to the baja snore 250 race coming up. The promo is that for $99.00 you can get two ball joints of your choice and 5 buy one-get one free coupons on all NCP products of equal or lesser value. It also includes some posters, desk mat and entries for a trip to Las Vegas for the baja snore 250 race. UPDATE: The total cost for the parts including the $99 for the coupons was $285 after tax which is a savings of $165. Not a bad deal.
He was able to work it so that my package included upper BJ, inner & outer ties with sleeves, idler arm, centerlink and sway bar bushing kit. These are not overseas parts either. I queried him on this and was told they are made in McHenery, Ill and have kevlar coatings on the metal to metal surfaces.
Sounded good to me as I had spent several hours pricing MOOG or equal parts from the various suppliers (Summit, FLAPS, POL) and none could come close to this pricing. I pick up my order on Saturday.
Just thought I would share this information so others can benefit also. The promo runs through May and the five buy 1 - get 1 coupons you buy for the $99 are valid through Sept.

Hi Lucy,
I'm writing to consult you one thing which has always been an unanswered question to me. When I was a student, my teachers of English always asked us to thin k in English and stressed that it is very important to think in English. Unfortunately, none of them ever told us what thinking in English really is like and how to think in English. I tried to think in English but I always ended up thinking in my mother tongue and then translating into English. As I became better at English, I realized that I started thinking in English and how important that is to the improvement of English. I, however, realized another fact that we can think in English only when we get better at it and thinking in English comes automatically. It is like "Before I knew it I was thinking in English". So my question to you is that are there any contradictions between my two discoveries. Thinking in English will improve English or better English will improve thinking in English? Maybe you'll say both but my point is should we insist on students thinking in English when their English is still low or should we let it come naturally when students' level of English gets higher? (Hope you don't think that I'm making things more complicated.)
One more thing I'd like to know your idea about is What activities can be used to train students to think in English?
Thank you so much and I hope to hear from you soon

Romney, Obama converge on Iowa in late scramble for votes
By Patricia Zengerle and Matt Spetalnick
DUBUQUE, Iowa (Reuters) - The U.S. presidential race, which has hinged for months on a handful of states, converged on one city in Iowa on Saturday as President Barack Obama and Republican Mitt Romney each made a last-minute appeal for support before Tuesday's election.
With the race in a dead heat nationally, both candidates touched down briefly in Dubuque, a Mississippi River city of 58,000 people, as they sprinted across the country in a bid to secure any possible advantage before Election Day.
In an airport rally early in the afternoon, Romney urged supporters to try to sway friends and neighbours who back Obama. He said he would reach out to Democrats as well if elected - a stance that could appeal to independent voters who have little stomach for partisan gridlock.
"I want you to reach across the street to the neighbour, who has that other sign in his front yard. And I'm going to reach across the aisle in Washington, D.C., to the politicians who are working for the other candidate," Romney told about 2,000 people.
Six hours later, Obama reminded about 5,000 people in a park in downtown Dubuque that he had started his first presidential bid in Iowa in 2007, and highlighted successes of his time in office, such as ending the war in Iraq and expanding access to healthcare.
"After two years of campaigning and after four years as president, you know me by now. You may not agree with every decision I made, you may have sometimes been frustrated with the pace of change. But you know that I say what I mean and I mean what I say," Obama said.
A new poll by the Des Moines Register newspaper showed Obama leading Romney by 47 percent to 42 percent in Iowa, though the survey showed the president barely edging his opponent on the critical question of which candidate would do better fixing the economy.
Earlier in the day in Ohio, Obama hammered Romney for opposing his bailout of the auto industry and said his challenger tried to scare workers by saying inaccurately that Chrysler planned to shift jobs to China. Continued...

I'm in the same market, have shot several and have yet to find one I like better than my Colt .380. A close runner up was the Bersa Ultra Compact 9mm, was the best balance of weight and size/accuracy of those I tried. I really want to try a Beretta Nano, have heard good things about them but none are available locally for trial and don't know anyone who owns one to check out.
I've found some good 9mm pistols, foremost the Ruger 89 and Beretta 92FS, but these are full sized frames with long barrels. They are not ideal for concealed carry, but very accurate with very minimal recoil compared to the sub-compacts.
I tried the Kel Tec PF-9 and PF-11, too light for anyone less than an experienced marksman to control well. First rounds were all very accurate, but went downhill from there. I couldn't rapid fire either one well at all, but then again, I will be the first to admit I'm not a trained marksman, probably why I still carry a .380. It is the largest caliber I can shoot consistently and well.

Ok, so i have been creating casts of my fixed/redesigned custom MR.
Im thinking about doing something new and different. Evan helped me originally with my mold making info, as well as FP. I dont want to burdon them at this trying time, so I figured I would openly ask opinions on this.
1. What 'rubber' material would I use for making stunt rubber props. Saber hilts, guns, knees or even rubber 'muscle' plates for a suit.
2. And this is my new idea. I have shellshock, which is a hardening plastic thin coat resin that makes a nice barrior/coating type of finish. I have thought about using 'featherlite' as a second layer. It is an ultra lite foam/plastic. It floats in water. Its similar to the finishng lure foam/plastic you see.
This would make for a extremely light, durable helmet. So. Any input?
Im thinking about geting some either foam or featherlite and making some 'thick walled casts, that I can sculpt into as well as onto. And for some reason, this jus tseened like a good idea:)
PLS let me know what you think, and if you have any info on rubber for casting id love to hear it.

By Barbara K. LundbladThis story leaves us wondering and longing for more. Mark's Easter gospel (Mark 16: 1-8) ends with silence rather than "Alleluia!"

Giant life cycle
As its chance at the spotlight nears, a giant pumpkin shares its life story
By MEGHAN PIERCE
Sunday News Correspondent | September 21. 2013 8:35PM
Aug. 29: After two months of care and feeding, the giant pumpkin is about ready for competition. (COURTESY)
Between the heavy rains and the extreme heat, many giant pumpkins like me didn't survive this growing season.
Mr. Beauchemin was New England champion in 2005, with a 1,314-pounder, but this year, "it was just too wet over the season, and I lost everything," I heard him say. "I have nothing for the first time in 15 years. ... We had over 10 inches of rain in June. In July, that was followed by six consecutive days in the 90s," and then with the humidity, the pumpkins were unable to dry out, so disease set in, he said. "This is the worst growing season for a long time for the giant pumpkin."
He spent time pruning my vine, nipping any other pumpkins in the bud.
And, well, not to give you TMI (too much information), pumpkin growers are always looking to the next generation, and the genetics of my seeds are dependent on whom I pollinate with, so my female flowers were covered to protect me from any natural pollination. (Pumpkin plants are monoecious, meaning they produce both the female flower as well as the male.) Steve chose which male flower I would pollinate with. This year, he traveled to a garden in Merrimack to collect male flowers for this process. (Am I blushing?)
He has a mathematical way of getting a good guess of our weight.
We have to take turns going because these competitions only allow giant pumpkins that haven't been weighed yet.
You see, Goffstown is my last chance to get out and see the world.

The fossil evidence we have of Victoria's dinosaurs ranges in age from 105 to 120 million years. All Victorian dinosaur fossils have been recovered from rocks exposed on shore platforms – the only places in Victoria where unweathered rocks of the right age are exposed. Elsewhere, the chemicals involved in soil formation have destroyed any such fossils. For these reasons, future discoveries are unlikely to extend the age range of dinosaurs known from Victoria.
The position of Victoria on the globe during the early Cretaceous.Source: Dr Thomas Rich, Museum Victoria
The most abundant and diverse group of dinosaurs in Victoria are the hypsilophodontids, small dinosaurs with long hind limbs, short forelimbs, long tails and a herbivorous diet. They are generally a rare group of dinosaurs in other parts of the world. Three have been named based on Victorian specimens, Atlascopcosaurus, Leaellynasaura and Qantassaurus, and a fourth is present that was first recognised at Lightning Ridge, Fulgurotherium. There are probably at least two more hypsilophodontid genera to be named in Victoria.
While two hypsilophodontid skeletons and many isolated bones and teeth are known from Victoria, the other dinosaur groups found here are represented by just a few fragments of teeth and bone. These fragments hint at the existence of a diverse assemblage of dinosaurs in Victoria. Among these other dinosaur groups are:
At the time these dinosaurs lived, Victoria was probably much further south, within the Antarctic Circle. At those latitudes there would have been darkness 24 hours a day in the winter months, and constant daylight during summer. Evidence of permafrost (permanently frozen ground) has even been found in Victorian rocks from this time. How dinosaurs survived these conditions is not known. Did they migrate each year, or hibernate, or perhaps they even had a layer of fat as insulation? We do not know.
The dinosaurs from Victoria are a unique mix of old and new dinosaur groups. Some, such as the allosaurs, had died out in other parts of the world long before the Victorian allosaurs existed. Others, such as the ornithomimiosaurs and oviraptorosaurs, have been found only in much younger rocks on other continents.
The fragmentary evidence indicates that Victoria's dinosaurs are more closely related to the dinosaurs of Asia and North America than they are to those of South America. Because Australia, Antarctica and South America were at that time connected, and distant from Asia and North America, one would expect just the opposite. Why this is so is one of the major puzzles to be solved about Victoria's dinosaurs.

Posted by Nigel Fenwick on the CIOs Blog on June 29, 2012
After wrapping up our CIO Forum in Paris last week, I can definitely say CIOs and IT leaders care about strategy. The theme of this year's conference was "Collaboration To Co-Creation," and we included a number of sessions directed at helping IT leaders step up and influence business strategy.
A highlight of the forum was Peter Hinssen's talk on The New Normal — you can see a sample of Peter delivering an earlier version of his presentation on YouTube (http://youtu.be/s_w04xb4MqM?hd=1). And Peter's talk perfectly framed the strategic themes of the conference.
Through a number of keynote and track sessions, CIOs discussed transforming IT to have an even greater impact on business outcomes. Central to this theme was the exploration of Forrester's new BT Strategic Planning Playbook, including a workshop-style session where CIOs got to exchange experiences on moving their organizations away from being order-takers and toward strategic partners with lines of business.
It's clear from the discussions I had with many of the CIOs attending that IT leaders sense new opportunities to partner in developing effective business strategy and moving toward co-creation. But there are challenges ahead; here are a few I shared in Paris in a short session on co-creation:
Language is important. What we say and how we say it are critical. Even speaking plain English is challenging. For example, in England one might say "put the money in the boot" (probably only likely if you are a bank robber but I like the imagery so bear with me). What we might imagine is something like this

Findings from memory research continue to fascinateSeptember 1, 2007
Your own name. What you were doing when you heard that President Kennedy had been shot or that we had landed on the moon. How to play the piano. The birth of your first child. Some things are indelibly imprinted in your mind. You can instantly recall every detail or carry out the action without effort. Other memories are fuzzier: What you had for dinner last Tuesday. Foreign language verbs you learned long ago. Reconstructing the steps for programming your cell phone that your son just taught you. Why do some things stick in our brains like glue, while others drift away, and yet others are lodged there partially or imperfectly?
This issue of Connections presents the first installment of a two-part series about memory. This article will examine the current understanding of memory and how the brain stores and retrieves information. Part two will look at normal age-related changes in memory and current theories about what happens to memory in neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease.
Of all human capacities, few spark our interest and inspire speculation more than memory. This ability to acquire, store, and use myriad types of information in countless ways is basic to our identity and allows us to function meaningfully in the world. More than just a stagnant repository of facts and miscellaneous knowledge, memory is a highly interactive and dynamic collection of processes that reflect and inform who we are as unique individuals.
The importance of memory becomes clearest when it is gone. The capacity to learn and remember—among the many characteristics that make us human—is eroded and ultimately destroyed when memory-robbing diseases such as Alzheimer's disease and other dementias strike.
How does the brain learn and transform experiences and sensory input into memories? Are there different types of memory? How do injury and disease impair memory? Since the beginnings of modern neuroscience in the 19th century, scientists in disciplines ranging from molecular biology to psychology have explored these questions, and the advent of new technologies has enhanced their ability to piece together the cellular, molecular, and behavioral components of this remarkable ability.
Types of memory
Most experts agree that at least several distinct memory systems exist—sensory, short-term, working, and long-term—and that these systems interact continuously to give rise to the phenomenon of memory as we experience it in our everyday lives.
Sensory memory
As we move through the world, we encounter hundreds and thousands of sensations. These are perceived through sight, sound, smell, taste, and touch. Each of these senses is associated with a type of memory that allows us briefly to retain impressions of specific experiences after the specific sensory stimuli have ceased. Although these perceptions flow into our sensory memory automatically, they decay within seconds if we do not consciously attend to them. Sensory memory, then, acts like a buffer that temporarily stores our sensory experiences and rapidly jettisons all but those to which we specifically direct our attention.
Short-term memory
Experts believe that the stimuli that receive sufficient conscious attention pass selectively into short-term memory, a temporary holding tank for information. As anyone who has tried to remember a new phone number long enough to dial it knows, the storage capacity of this system is very limited, and the retention of information in short-term memory is easily disrupted by interference.
Working memory
Another distinct way in which the brain temporarily holds information is through working memory. This type of memory is used to hold information for a short time while the brain manipulates and processes it. For example, working memory is used in processes that require reasoning, such as retaining the meaning of several sentences to understand an entire paragraph, or performing and retaining all of the steps of a mental calculation to arrive at a final answer.
Long-term memory
Long-term memories, which experts say are those that endure for more than 30 seconds, are classified as either declarative or procedural, according to the type of information and learning processes involved.
Declarative memory involves facts and events learned through conscious recall. Declarative memory is further subdivided into semantic and episodic memory, once again according to the type of information involved. Semantic memories are independent of context, such as time, place, or circumstances. They consist of our abstract knowledge of the world, such as the meanings of words; the size, shape, and color of objects; our implicit understanding of social customs; or our knowledge of our own time and place. Because we are repeatedly exposed to such information throughout our lives, semantic memories are rapidly and effortlessly recalled. Episodic memories, in contrast, are highly contextual memories of the events that have occurred in our own lives and include the time and place of these events as well as their sensory and emotional associations.
Procedural memory involves "how to" knowledge, such as the specific patterns of hand and finger movements required to play the piano or the muscle actions necessary to ride a bicycle. Procedural memories are acquired through repetition rather than active recall and can be used without conscious effort.
Types of memory also can be distinguished according to their temporal direction, that is, whether they are recollections of past learning or events (retrospective memory) or involve content to be remembered for the future (prospective memory), such as remembering your dentist appointment next Thursday morning. Retrospective memory includes both episodic and semantic memory.
Areas of the brain involved in memory
Scientists believe that no one area of the brain is solely responsible for forming and storing memories. A number of areas are involved, each with varied responsibilities for perceiving, processing, and analyzing information as well as for storing it as different types of memory.
The hippocampus and associated medial temporal lobe structures are involved in the formation of memories. These regions are connected to the cerebral cortex, the extensive layers of neurons and supporting brain cells that form the outermost part of the brain. The cortex is involved in the regulation of many functions, including those involved in memory, attention, planning, and decision making. Declarative memories formed when a person is awake are initially stored in the hippocampus. These memories, which are somewhat fragile and vulnerable to disruption, are eventually stored as durable long-term memories throughout the cortex in a process called consolidation. If sleep is disrupted during this consolidation process, memory storage may be impaired.
The cerebellum—the region of the brain that regulates balance and coordination—also is in charge of forming and storing procedural memories involving motor activities, such as how to swim or tap dance. The amygdala, an almond-shaped structure next to the hippocampus, is involved in the emotional aspects of memory formation and storage. Was an event associated with pleasure, pain, or fear? The strength of these emotional associations helps determine whether and how strongly an event is retained in memory.
How are memories made and stored?
For a long time, most neuroscientists thought that the adult brain could not generate new neurons. It was thought that memories were created and stored through modifications to existing brain structures rather than through the addition of new cells. Researchers could only speculate what these modifications might be, where exactly in the brain they might occur, or how they might come about.
The explosion of new tools and techniques in the mid-1900s revolutionized understanding of the anatomy and physiology of the brain and the ways that neurons communicate with each other. These findings have allowed scientists to gain an increasingly sophisticated understanding of how memories are formed and stored.
Neurons: the great communicators
Neurons communicate with each other by means of slender extensions called dendrites and axons that project from the body of the cell. Incoming signals received by the dendrites are conveyed to the cell body and are sent along the axon to the dendrites of other neurons. The axon of one neuron does not actually contact the dendrites of the next cell in the network. Instead, these structures are separated by a microscopic gap called a synapse. Signals move across this gap by chemical messengers called neurotransmitters. Neurotransmitter molecules move across the synaptic space and bind with specialized receptors clustered at sites along the receiving end of dendrites.
How the neuronal conversation starts
When neurotransmitters activate a dendrite's receptors, they open channels through the cell membrane into the receiving neuron's interior. These channels allow electrically charged particles called ions to flow into or out of the cell. This flow of ions changes the balance of electrical charges inside and outside the cell and determines what the receiving nerve cell will do. The change in electrical charge may cause the nerve cell to "fire," sending an electrical signal down the axon that releases neurotransmitters into the synapse, or may cause it to become less active. Sometimes, the neurotransmitter released at the synapse is "inhibitory," making it less likely that the receiving neuron will fire and send a signal down its axon and on to other neurons. At other times, the released neurotransmitter is "excitatory," making it more likely that a signal will be sent down the axon of the receiving neuron to other neurons in the network. Any one synaptic firing isn't sufficient to cause a neuron to send an electrical or chemical signal to the next neuron, however. Neurons continuously receive a combination of excitatory and inhibitory signals from perhaps thousands of synaptic connections, and the sum of all these inputs causes the cell to send or not send a signal to the next neuron.
From neuronal conversations to memories
In 1949, Donald Hebb, a Canadian psychologist, using previous work from a Spanish neuroscientist named Ramón y Cajal, suggested, for the very first time, a cellular mechanism for the formation of memories. Cajal had hypothesized that learning and memory rely on the strengthening of communications between neurons, and Hebb proposed that simultaneous activity among neurons that are connected in a network would selectively strengthen their synaptic connections. Connections between neurons that were not active at the same time would be weakened or left unchanged.
In 1973, neuroscientists Terje Lomo and Timothy Bliss reported a discovery of precisely the type of increase in synaptic strength proposed by Hebb nearly 25 years earlier. They found that administering a brief, high-frequency electrical stimulus to excitatory nerve pathways in the hippocampus of rabbits produced a long-lasting enhancement in the response of the receiving neuron to subsequent stimuli. As news of the discovery of this effect, dubbed long-term potentiation (LTP), spread through the neuroscience community, its implications were immediately apparent: This might be the cellular mechanism suggested by Hebb by which information is represented and stored in the brain.
Over the past 30 years, LTP has been the focus of intense research and is now the best-studied and best-known form of "synaptic plasticity," the term neuroscientists use to refer to the inherent capacity of the synapse to alter its behavior in response to neural activity. LTP has been found in several regions of the brain outside the hippocampus and is widely assumed to be the physiological basis of at least some forms of learning and memory.
Another important contribution of this work is that scientists have been able to decipher how short- and long-term memories are formed. Short-term memory involves a temporary strengthening of connections between existing synapses, allowing the synapse to be sensitized to later signals. However, when an event is significant enough (such as the birth of a child) or repeated enough times (such as learning how to type or memorizing your spouse's work telephone number), something else happens to transform the short-term memory into a long-term memory. Synapses in the brain fire sufficiently to send an especially loud and clear message to neurons that the event must be recorded. This message sets off a biochemical process within the cells that causes specific genes to initiate the production of synapse-strengthening proteins. These proteins find the synapses that are holding that event as a short-term memory and permanently strengthen their connections. From then on, it doesn't take much brain power to recall the event.
What happens when memory fails?
All of us have experienced lapses of memory when we couldn't remember where we left the car or drew a blank when trying to put a name to a face. Sometimes, though, those temporary memory lapses become permanent memory losses. What happens in the brain to cause permanent changes to memory? How do neurodegenerative diseases like AD or frontotemporal dementia affect the brain in such a way as to destroy memory? The next article in this series will examine these questions and report on new research that is pushing the boundaries of knowledge about this most fascinating of human characteristics.

Thanks Marion, much excitement surrounding Immunotherapy and let's hope that much of it will be carried through to CC.
Just wondering...What are the hospitals/who are the physicians and immunogists leading the exploration of immunotherapy for cholangiocarcinoma? What are the opportunities for the inclusion of cholangio if FDA approval is received for treatment of a different cancer?
Judy..... Most major centers are involved in these studies. You might want to start with the treating physician, as he/she may be able to lead you to a center closest for participation. I believe that once approved for a different cancer, physicians will then use the "off label" and the pd-1 and anti pd-L1 pembrolizumab (lambrolizumab) drug are under investigation and are expected to be released by the end of this year.
From what I have learned the NIH is overrun with request, but Melinda's study is recruiting:
http://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/results?t … rch=Search
The newest in the making are the n-of-1 trials (single patient trials) part of personalized medicine. But, I have little information on this.

are foreign exchange students becoming a problem for the united states?
when i returned to the world from the sand pit, i visited a local wally-mart around midnight. this wally-mart has two liberal arts collages nearby.
every checkout line was full of foreign students mostly from the ME and africa mostly young men. in fact i didn't see a woman in the whole place.
i asked the checkout the only american in the place , WTF is going on here?
he said " it is like this every weekend , where flooded with thousands of exchange students."
i asked "where are the foreign exchange girl students? he said --'never see any of those."
"where are our boys ?" i asked the clerk said "iraq"-
these foreign students seemed to have plenty of money --they were buying big screen TV's , expensive video game stuff , ect.
i thought for my self--where are the american students? our kids can't seem to scrape up the coins to go. --where is the big $$$ coming from to IMPORT all these foreign students?
i don't know but i seriously think the US government is PAYING our hard earned tax dollars to EDUCATE all the foreign students.
while depriving ours--
and that is not to mention the security risk of bringing all the muzlium nationals in here. BTW few of them could barely speak english , how the f$%k can they be in a US college if they can barely speak the language?
the poll question for today--:dunno:
is the foreign exchange program harmful, and a danger to untied states citizens?:pokinit:

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|I just picked up my 357 short block I had done from the machine shop on Monday. I am right there with similar pistons and CR. I have the 650dp on the other motor thats coming out with Sanderson block huggers, Edelbrock Performer intake. I will be installing a Comp Extreme Energy 4x4 cam, the 262 I think was what I picked out. This is going in a Jeep. As for the Heads, go with the Vortecs. I am looking for a pair for mine because they are great street torque heads. The smaller intake runners are what helps build that torque and since it will be a daily driver it doesn't sound like you will be revving it sky high.
Ok guys, made some decisions.
I bought the voodoo 262
Patriot vortecs.
Holley 650
Hooker full length headers. 1 5/8
Rear gears will be swapped out to 3.42
And pump gas here is 93 premium which I run on a 10.7 compression 406 and runs fine and makes 527 flywheel HP.
Was hoping u guys had HP and torque estimates.
I've checked computer Sims and I know everything on those are boosted.
Im looking for real world HP/ tq numbers.
Thanks for the pointers guys.
The Sportsmans are designed to hit certain track rules requiring the use of older GM style heads, as a result they haven't had the chamber improved since that of the old angle plug 292 head. They're fine for what they are intended for, but there's much better stuff out there for everyday use. SR Torquers are in the same boat, just in case you've got a pair of them laying about.
Back off a little on the cam to build more cylinder pressure. Here are some suggestions....
And the winner at 110 LSA, reasonable ramps and $95 for cam and lifters is....
KB's calculator puts DCR at 8.6:1. With a tight squish, this DCR will work well on pump gas. Use all Lunati components listed in the lower right of the cam card.
I don't use or recommend flat tappet lifter cams any longer due to their "iffy" interaction at the lobe/lifter interface, but will make an exception in suggesting pieces for your build. You can help to protect yourself a little when using them by using this list of suggestions....
and by using a comparison between advertised and 0.050" tappet lift figures. I noticed for years that Crane always used a difference of 56 degrees between the two figures, in other words, if they ground a cam with advertised intake duration at....maybe 280 degrees, the 0.050" duration would be at least 56 degrees less, like maybe 224 degrees. This relationship, to me, indicates that the ramps will be reasonable in their lift rate because it was the standard difference in Crane's cam grinding for decades. As the difference between the two numbers gets smaller, it is an indication to me that the cam and all the rest of the valvetrain components are doing more work. I don't want them to do more work, so I opt for a large number between advertised and 0.050" figures on the intake lobes. Snappy valve action is great with roller lifters, but it ain't worth a hoot with flat tappets. Look at the last cam I listed above, the Lunati 00016LK. The intake duration at advertised (more than likely 0.005" tappet lift) is 284. The intake duration at 0.050" is 218. Subtract and find 66 degrees difference. This would indicate easy ramps instead of "snappy" valve action, an indication that the cam will live a long, happy life if all the other cautions are followed. The small amount of additional power that you might get with a snappy valve action cam such as an "Extreme Energy" grind will not be worth it when you frag the cam and have to start over. An example of an extreme cam that would be in the same category as the cams I listed above would be this CompCams offering....
Deducting 0.050" from advertised finds only 44 degrees difference. A grind such as this would work great with roller lifters, but I would not use it with flat tappet lifters.
You fellows will likely have to build a few motors and record how they react to different components before you are able to build one in your head that will be optimum.
Lose the short intake manifold. Use Edelbrock RPM 7101 or Weiand Stealth #8016 or Holley #300-36 or Professional Products Typhoon #52020/52021/52022.
Weiand does not make the #8016 Stealth anymore, but apparently Amazon has cornered a few units as old stock....
Lose the double pumper. Vacuum secondaries will work better on a street driver using a relatively short cam such as I have recommended above.
650 is all the CFM you will need. Use a double pumper with a minimum 3000 stall converter or stick shift car. Use Edelbrock 18059 reconditioned Thunder 650 with manual choke for this application.
Use Edelbrock #8013 choke cable.
Lose the 1.6 rockers, use standard 1.5 units made by an aftermarket producer to insure that the rockers will actually be 1.5:1. Stock Chevy rockers are nowhere close to 1.5:1, probably 1.3 to 1.4 if you tested tham scientifically. The additional 8-10 hp you will achieve with 1.6 rockers will come at the price of reduced life and more wear and tear on the valvetrain.
Lose the shorty headers. Install full-length, tuned 1 5/8" headers. Install H or X pipe right after the collectors. Shorties are better than cast iron logs, but inferior to long tube, tuned headers. Do it right the first time and you won't waste time and money doing it over again.
2200 stall converter and 3.73 gears will work fine.
Top the carb with enough filter area to allow the motor to breathe. I like to use a minimum 3" x 14" filter element. If you can't find a 3, then stack two 2" elements for a 4" x 14". If the motor cannot breathe easily, it cannot make the power that you are expecting from it.
Start with ignition timing at 12 degrees BTDC at the crank and 22 degrees at the weights. This will give a total of 34. If you find that you need a little more at the top, move the crank timing to 14 for a total of 36. Have all ignition lead in by 2800-3000 rpm's.
The vortecs are the bettefr head, I didn consider the chamber. I don't know if patriots are still poorly machined but you may want to have them checked. The better chamber far outweighs the smaller runner.
My goof, good job cobalt.
Vortec port- this means you will need sa Vortec intake to match
Patriot on Left, Sportsman 2 on Right
|I was going to say the 200cc heads are the obvious choice with that combo. Look art what GM had learned about runner size...
|If your asking which set of heads to use the answer is obvious. Use the smaller runner 185cc heads. They`ll fit in nicely with the combo you`ve got picked out. Save the 200cc heads for a 383 or a 400.
Sbc 355 Build-head Choice.
Im finishing up a 357 build. This is every other daily driver. I want good torque and HP. I have a set of World Product Sportsman II heads(200cccc) or a set of Patriot Vortec heads(185cc). Here is the rest of the combo. I know you guys will lead me in the best direction as you did with previous builds.
010 block 4 bolt main .40 bore
Balanced rotating assembly
Forged flat tops (9.72 compression)
LUNATI voodoo 268 227/233@50
Air Gap Intake
Holley 650 double Pumper
1.6 Comp roller rockers
MALLORY ignition
Hooker Comp Shorty headers 1 5/8
Turbo 350 2200 stall
10 bolt 3.73
Like I said before, this is a car I will drive pretty often. I have my "hot rods", I just want a strong toy to drive around. Any help suggestions and advice is accepted. Thanks in advance guys.

This week's adventure is the story of a recipe gone wrong but joyfully salvaged because adding ice cream on top of any baking mishap makes it all turn out well in the end.
A few weeks ago, I ran across a recipe for hot fudge pie. The photo looked delicious and the instructions were relatively simple so I printed it out to try sometime. With the words hot fudge in the title it was a no-brainer to clip and save.
The recipe was a good one to try on a cold and cloudy day when there was just enough chocolate and other ingredients in the pantry to make it work. It also was simple enough to put together during halftime of a basketball game.
Or so I thought.
The problem was that the pie didn't really cook all the way through in the middle after 25 minutes. The blog said it should taste and look like gooey brownies but I don't thing gooey translates to runny.
So I popped it in the oven for about 15 more minutes. Honestly, it could have probably stayed in another 25 but I was afraid the edges would get too crisp.
Another problem was it didn't come out in a slice like the photo on the blog. Because it was pretty gooey, it didn't stay together when I tried to get it out of the pan. I would suggest using a springform pan for easy removal or making a simple crust to put the fudgy mixture on to give it a solid base when getting it out of the pan. Maybe even a cookie crust for hot fudge cookie pie.
Hindsight, they say, is 20/20 but I was stuck with a pie plate full of gooey wonderful fudgeness that wouldn't come out in a slice.
To salvage the dish I decided to treat it more like a cobbler, spooning out a big clump onto the plate and toping it with ice cream and chocolate syrup.
All was right once again in the dessert world and the hot fudge pie was turned into hot fudge cobbler al a mode.

Hot Fudge Pie
4 ounces unsalted butter, with a bit extra for greasing pie plate
1 1/2 squares unsweetened baking chocolate (1.5 ounces)
1 cup sugar
2 eggs, beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons milk
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Butter an eight-inch diameter pie plate or cake pan or use cooking spray.
Melt butter and chocolate using a microwave just until the chocolate is almost entirely melted, then stir.
Let cool.
Mix sugar into beaten eggs until sugar is fully incorporated.
Mix in the butter-chocolate mixture until completely blended.
Add the vanilla and milk and stir well.
Fold in flour, mixing just until no white streaks remain. Do not overbeat.
Bake for 25 minutes.
