Purple and Green Kale Chips
We love to incorporate what we grow in our garden to our kitchen adventures – and kale just happens to be one of those ingredients that grew so abundantly throughout the winter and spring season. Last year, we also grew kale and shared a recipe, Toscana Soup, which many of you enjoyed making yourselves, so thank you for trying it out! Kale is one of those very hearty green vegetables that most people don't prefer to eat due to it's rough exterior, but once you cook it down or crisp it up, you'll be amazed at how great it tastes and how beneficial it is for you with it's high antioxidant properties. If you are one of those people who haven't experimented with cooking kale, then here's a chance for you to try something simple, easy, and addicting to eat – baked kale chips.

Kale is one of the healthiest leafy vegetables, along with swiss green chard. My favorite sauce for dipping is pesto, ultra simple to make and oh so healthy.
I think the choice of the sauce is important as not everybody likes the taste of these green leafy veggies.

Just planted kale for the first time. Appreciate kale recipes. Tried this last year with collards; best when fresh from the oven. Didn't think of the vinegar, though. Have to try that.
I love kale too and just wonder whether I can plant kale under hot weather.

Good! Interesting. Healthy!

Hello there,
kale is a very popular winter dish in the region of Germany where I live. It is washed and hacked to small bits, cooked with chopped onions, mustard and boullion to a hearty stew. There is a special type of kale-sausage cooked with it, along with salted smoked pork and smoked hog jowls (if that's the right word). We serve it with with extra small cooked and fried potatoes, sprinkled with sugar. That kind of "broken sweet" cooking is very popular in the North of Germany. This dish is so popular, it's even a cult Cheers!

With massive improvements in stadium facilities, clubs now generate matchday income twice as great as in Italy and three times more than in Spain and Germany. Gerry Boon, head of D&T Sport, said: 'Many European clubs look enviously at the finances of England's top clubs.'
That will come as a surprise in the City, which has dumped soccer shares because of runaway costs fuelled by players' high wages. But Boon claims there are signs clubs are getting to grips with controlling costs and linking players' wages to performance. Total wages grew 17% to £562m, but this was the lowest growth since 1995-96.
Boon disputes claims that soccer clubs will end up like dotcom companies: 'Clubs have been around for 100 years - and will be for another 100.'

Does anyone have any recommendation on spark plugs as well?
Might as well do them while I'm under the hood.

I do 5K intervals on Synthetic. Before I switched to Synthetic on my truck, I use to do 3K on Conventional oil.

Furthermore, I have been thinking about an oil change as well. I have 1800 miles on my car but people on here are always talking about all these metal particulates from the break-in period. Can I have some opinions on this? I wouldn't mind doing this since this is my first new vehicle and I want to take care of it properly.
I have almost 42K so that's kind of the reason why I use it. But I actually don't use SeaFoam. I use something called Mopar Combustion Chamber Cleaner. (MCCC) You spray it right into your intake vs putting it into your oil/gas.

I have seen it first hand over half a dozen times on every new car and motorcycle I have had. Will it damage the engine to go the manufactures first recomended interval of 10K miles, probably not. I just like to get some fresh oil in my new car usually around 1,000 miles maybe less, then I feel better running the crap out of it latter. The manufacture recomended intervals are fine, I just choose to make up my own intervals. Here is an article by someone who may have a clue, as opposed to some who will rant here.

10K is a bit extreme to me. But I generally check my oil about every week to see what it looks like. 5K is generally the sweet spot of when it needs to be due.

This has been discussed time and time again, but I really think we need to look at the relationship between sales and exposure.. and whether or not certain files should be getting more exposure over other files. For as we all know, exposure on this site is crucial to sales. To fully understand the exposure issue, we need to look at a case study. Since we are not allowed to post links to files, there is a particular file which would help illustrate the issue, and I'm assuming since this file is created by the creator of this marketplace, I'm sure Collis won't mind or be offended, if we use his file to illustrate the issue to help improve the marketplace.
So let's look at one of his files, Black & White template it was designed back in 2008, and is currently the highest selling PSD theme, as a result it is frequently on the popular PSD page. Now in fairness, and I'm sure Collis will agree, this file is outdated, and also considering it's only 3 pages, with 2 colour variants, it's not exactly at the same level as newly added PSD themes which have up to 20+ pages. It's also fairly simple, not having many of the newer social media functionality, blogs, widgets etc. In fairness, I would have to say, considering the quality level since 2008, a file like this wouldn't even be approved today.
Yet this file consistently sells, and remains on the popular file page throughout the years, considering that space on the popular files page is highly beneficial real estate for high sales to any file. Using this case study, we can apply the same conclusion to most older files with high sales, that tend to stay on popular files pages, regardless of quality levels compared to newer files or if it complies to current web standards.
To rectify this problem, we need some sort of additional exposure mechanism for newer files, because the volume of new files submitted weekly has exceeded the current structure that this site allows for appropriate exposure to ensure longer term sales. As a result large volumes of good files are slipping through this site, and get lost in the abyss.. while occasionally something really outstanding gets enough sales to stick around for a while on popular files pages, amongst files with very high sales from years back.
I think Envato should carefully look at this exposure flaw, and make necessarily improvements to make sure the content, and what files get more exposure remains relevant to current design trends. Otherwise this site is not optimally showcasing to it's customers relevant content, which only discourages new authors to submit work here, since it becomes increasingly harder to sell newer work.
Very well put!
Some sort algorithm could be used to try to give a better view of popular files. As digitalscience said, a lot of popular files are still selling well because of this advantage inherited from the past when there was less competition. The algorithm could take many things into consideration, for example:
- Demo views/exposure
- Conversion Rate
- Rating
- etc
Easier said than done obviously, but this needs to looked at…
The example you're using is selling not because the exposure. It's selling because it's featured in the free learn HTML & CSS Tutorial series by Jeffrey Way, where he uses this particular PSD File. Market your files, and they will sell. Don't expect Envato or anyone else to do that for you. I don't mean to be rude, I'm just saying that the example in this case isn't valid for your point.
That said, I'm all for a nice algorithm, that is carefully tested and crafted, which would help not only authors who deserve it, but also Envato with the sales.
Something similar is already visible here ( http://themeforest.net/category/wordpress?utf8=%E2%9C%93&sort_by=average_rating&categories=wordpress ), which may not look like much, but it actually is a pretty dynamic page, as it is entirely rating based.
Something interesting, not only for authors, but also for buyers, would be a 'popular NEW items' page.
The current 'popular items' page contains mostly files buyers already know, or already purchased. I wouldn't necessarily remove it, but add another page with popular items that were uploaded during the last month or so, plus a history navigation for last months favorites.
This way buyers can see whats new and hot without having to sift through the same list over and over again.
I agree with what you are saying. I always have a good laugh at some of the themes that have found a footing in the top sellers list and just "hover" there almost endlessly. Someone compared one of my themes to a best selling item (not to be named) and I thanked them, but in the back of my mind I could only think, "Is my theme that ugly?"
I seriously don't get the best seller list a lot of times. When you've got your number one item with only 4 stars but the next 10+ with 5 stars, it's probably safe to say there are some popularity metrics in play. People will like things just because other people like them or the perception is that others like them.

Something like an "Up and Coming" list or "Movers and Shakers". You see this a lot with sites like Digg where time is factored in smaller increments. That's an interesting idea.
I don't see any solution in sight. For one thing, half the top selling items look like each other or variations of top sellers from 6 months ago. I think that says a lot.

Don't you know there isn't time to improve ThemeForest. They're busy putting together a new team to build the next big thing, "MacroLancer" for people who only want really big projects done.
Seriously though, how many more big new businesses is Envato going to start before the search is improved or one of the many other things we've heard was "coming soon" for years now. How's it coming with those forums instead of item comments? Almost done? The recent news about the 3 months of hard work by Envato's brand new team for yet another "marketplace" sort of left a bitter taste in my mouth.

spongebob: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W8r559C51uE
ah yes, new file exposure.
tricky business. maybe the new user interface specialist will come up with some awesome idea to balance exposure.
On the flip side…
Not every author's business model is pumping out new items. I prefer to support and enhance one lean and powerful item. Just one — and it's an all-time best seller in its category.
The age of an item has no bearing on its freshness or applicability, nor do recency or frequency of updates. The only valid measure is quality and that is subjective. Old items can stay popular because they're continually reinvented and improved.
Promoting new items for "newnesses" sake isn't a worthy cause.
Creating a "popular new items" listing is also just delaying the issue. It won't be long before people start complaining about how hard it is to get exposure there either. What Envato really needs is faceted navigation. For example:
"Category: WordPress" + "4 stars or higher" + "Is Responsive" + "Updated in last 6 months" + "Order by Sales"
Authors need to focus on items, and not on the 24 hours of home page exposure. There are nearly 3 million items on the marketplaces. Envato cannot give you more than 15 minutes of fame. If your entire marketing strategy relies on that, you're destined to fail.

Chef Michael Farrell
The Westin Grand Cayman Seven Mile Beach Resort & Spa
"Food is an edible art. When executed properly it can caress all five senses. Like great art, food sustains and inspires us.".
Chef Michael Farrell
The culinary capital of the Caribbean is pleased to welcome Chef Michael Farrell to the island as Executive Chef of the award-winning Westin Grand Cayman Seven Mile Beach Resort & Spa. Drawing on 25 years of experience leading restaurants across the United States, Farrell looks forward to working closely with the resort's Food & Beverage Director Carl Goldner to oversee all culinary outlets including the AAA Four Diamond-rated Casa Havana, Ferdinand's Caribbean Café, Tortuga Beach Grill & Bar, Café Soleil and the catering department. Farrell's resort cuisine will be inspired by his Southern Coastal style, which originated in New Orleans and encompasses the cuisine from the Virginia coastline down to Texas.
"I'm thrilled to call Grand Cayman and its world-renowned culinary scene my new home. The Caymanians' passion for inventive dining is an important element of the culture," says Chef Michael Farrell. "I want to expand the island and resort's compelling culinary offerings by infusing my passion for New Orleans and Southern Coastal cuisine into all aspects of the resort's Food & Beverage program. We'll purchase only the freshest ingredients from local farmers and fishermen to incorporate coastal options such as oysters and caviar from the Gulf, and delicacies like spiny lobster from neighboring islands."
Farrell has an extensive track record of success, and has been recognized by The James Beard Foundation, Drink Spectator, Bon Appétit and DiRoNA along the way. Most notably, Farrell spearheaded an award-winning dining program at New Orleans' Maison Dupuy Hotel that paved the way for his award as one of the "Top Five Chefs of Louisiana" by New Orleans magazine. Farrell opened the hotel's restaurant Le Meritage in 2009, which featured his signature Southern Coastal style. His innovations took the Big Easy culinary scene by storm; Le Meritage received 4 Beans and 4-Star ratings from the city's top restaurant critics, and was awarded "Best New Restaurant" by New Orleans magazine within just six months of opening. Le Meritage was also featured by Esquire magazine as one of the "Top Five Post-Katrina Restaurants." Farrell later opened another restaurant concept at Maison Dupuy called Bistreaux New Orleans, and his "inspired comfort food" was also awarded New Orleans magazine's "Best New Restaurant" accolade.
At Maison Dupuy, Farrell worked closely with Westin Grand Cayman's current Area Managing Director and General Manager, Morty Valldejuli, who recruited him to the resort on Seven Mile Beach because of his successful programing and award-winning visions.
"Throughout my 25 years in the hospitality industry, Michael is the best chef I've worked with," said Valldejuli. "He is a true culinary leader who delights in working hands-on with his hotel team and local community, as well as mingling with guests. With his undying passion for culinary arts, I'm confident Michael will bring his esteemed skills to the island and make the resort a dining destination in itself. His goal is to make guests feel as if they have every gastronomic experience they need on location, so they'll be less likely to travel beyond the resort."

The Hyde Amendment and Coverage for Abortion Services
This policy insight examines the Hyde Amendment, an annually approved law that bans the use of federal funds to pay for abortions unless the pregnancy is a result of rape, incest, or endangerment of the life of a woman. The Hyde Amendment has become the focus of debate in the 2016 presidential election. Hillary Clinton is the first presidential candidate to openly support lifting the Hyde bans on federal funding for abortion, while Donald Trump recently endorsed the codification of the law and established a Pro-life coalition. This perspective details the federal programs that are affected by the Hyde Amendment, provides estimates on the share of women insured by Medicaid affected by the law, the impact on their access to abortion services, and the potential effect if the law were to be repealed or codified.Perspective Read More

Summary of HHS's Final Rule on Nondiscrimination in Health Programs and Activities
On May 18, 2016, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) published a final rule to implement Section 1557 of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), which prohibits discrimination in health coverage and care based on race, color, national origin, age or disability, and, for the first time sex. This Issue Brief provides a technical summary of Section 1557 and the final rule and highlights new protections and provisions included in the law and rule. Notably, Section 1557 is the first federal civil rights law to prohibit discrimination on the basis of sex in health care. Moreover, the proposed rule extends the definition of sex discrimination to include discrimination on the basis of gender identity. In addition, the final rule establishes regulations related to the provision of language assistance services based on long-standing HHS policy guidance.Issue Brief Read More

Contraceptive-Only Plans: Questions and Answers
In this post on The Huffington Post, Alina Salganicoff and Laurie Sobel offer a Q&A on "contraceptive-only" plans, an approach mentioned during oral arguments in the U.S. Supreme Court case Zubik v.

Kaiser Health Tracking Poll: March 2016
The March Kaiser Health Tracking Poll finds that health care is one of many issues that will be important to voters in the Presidential election, trailing concerns about the economy and jobs but leading concerns about immigration. Health care ranks higher for Democratic voters than for Republican and independent voters and is a higher priority for women than for men. Health care costs remain on the forefront of the minds of both the uninsured and voters, with nearly half of uninsured Americans saying that cost is the main reason they haven't gotten health insurance and voters mentioning cost when asked what specifically about health care will affect their presidential vote. In light of the two women's health cases before the Supreme Court, this month's survey examines how the public, and women specifically, feel about the state of women's reproductive health policy. About one-third of Americans say 'there is a wide-scale effort to limit women's reproductive health choices and services, such as abortion, family planning, and contraception' and a majority of Democratic voters name Hillary Clinton as the candidate for president they trust to represent their view of women's reproductive health choices and services, while Republican voters don't coalesce around any one candidate.Poll Finding Read More

Quick and brave rider, shame there are not more motogp bikes to go around. Also a pity that yamaha are allocating one of their works bikes to a has-been who obviously doesn't take the sport seriously enough, instead of daring yo place the bike in the hands of an exciting young talent as honda has done.
Good lad. Hopefully he ll still be in the paddock when things pick up again and we can see him nearer the front.

Porto 2016/17 New Balance Third Shirt
Using a distinctive New Balance kit template of a hooped display with added zig-zag detailing, Portugal's famous club of Porto will wear a striking third shirt within 2016/17 which uses a bold combination of yellow and blue. Whilst the club's third shirt could have been created with straight forward two-tone yellow hoops, New Balance include a zig-zag shape which runs from the shoulder down to the hem to increase the visual depth whilst also adding royal blue at opposing sides and areas of the body.
Further 'Porto' blue acts as trim upon the v-neck collar and 'Super Bock' sponsorship at the back of the shirt where a players name and number will pose underneath. 'Porto! Porto! Porto!' text is applied to the neckline and hem as with the 2016/17 home and away cheap shirts.
Manufactured by the three-stripes of adidas, Product Manager Andre Xavier explained the designs inspiration saying "We are proud of the Flamengo's history and with this shirt we want to praise what the club is for Brazilian sport, all athletes and the glories conquered on the pitch, in courts, swimming pools, gyms and lanes". Using a dark grey base-coat to create an almost night sky feel, the front panel steals the headlines through a star-themed graphic which enhances the galaxy inspired display.
Finishing the commemorative shirt for Flamengo sees red trim given to the shoulder panels for adidas three-stripe branding, sleeve cuff detailing, and to create the club's crest at the left chest panel.
Sao Paulo 2016/17 Under Armour Away Shirt
Using Sao Paulo's iconic club colours of red and black as the forefront of design criteria, the team will be ever-present on their travels within 2016/17 through a striped effect which captures the eye. Adorning the entire body and sleeves for one of the most visually powerfully looks of all Brazilian teams, red and black stripes flow vertically in a uniform fashion which are also bordered by crisp white.
The minimalistic yet equally stunning away shirt features a traditional polo-neck collar which includes Under Armour branding at the back to match their logo at the front panel opposite to Sao Paulo's club crest.
Stuttgart 2016/17 Puma Away & Third Shirts
Already seeing their clean white home shirt presented to fans in recent weeks, the famous German club have now followed-up with powerful away and third strips ready to take to the field in 2016/17.The away shirt uses the clubs colour of bright red as the all-over look whilst also incorporating a lighter tone to create a chest bar which continues onto the sleeves for a modern look, complemented by a raised buttoned collar.
Using an alternative Puma kit template of a v-neck collar, Stuttgart's third shirt is arguably the most unique of all through a metallic silver colour-way with additional black and red detailing on the shoulders and piping. Again a chest bar is used, this time in black, to present Mercedes-Benz Bank sponsorship as on all Stuttgart wholesale football shirts.

- Killer whales in captivity have an annual mortality rate that is 2.5 times higher than killer whales in the Pacific Northwest.
- Among some pods in the Pacific Northwest, males can live up to 60-70 years, with an average life expectancy of 30, and females can live to 90 or more, with an average life expectancy of 46.
- Most killer whales at SeaWorld die in their teens and twenties, sometimes under abnormal circumstances.
- Trainers routinely stuff the gills of fish with antibiotics, antacids and vitamins, and inject them with fresh water, because freezing, storing, thawing and processing fish reduces its nutritional value and fresh water content and stress is a constant concern.
- Some orcas are given up to 80 pounds of gelatin per day in part to combat dehydration.
- Some killer whales break and wear down their teeth on metal gates and must have the pulp removed with a power drill. Teeth then must be flushed several times daily to prevent food from causing deadly bacterial infections.
- One whale was filmed lashing out aggressively in response to trainers trying to jam a wooden block in his mouth in order to control him while performing an endoscopy.
- There are no records at any time in history of wild orcas seriously injuring or killing a person.
- Around 15% of all orcas held in SeaWorld's collection have been involved in acts of serious aggression against trainers, a dismal safety record that would never be tolerated in other industries.
- Orcas at SeaWorld have lunged at trainers, pulled them in the water, held them at the bottom of the pool, head-butted them, slammed them with tail flukes and breached on top of them.
- The 12,000 pound Tilikum – the world's largest captive predator – killed Canadian trainer Keltie Byrne in 1991, surgically opened the scrotum of Daniel Dukes, a man who snuck into the tank in 1999 but did not make it out, and brutally killed trainer Dawn Brancheau in 2010.
- Brancheau's death was more grisly than most realize: part of her arm was torn off, her scalp was ripped away, her sternum was crushed and her liver was lacerated. This was a purposeful killing.
- Two months before Brancheau died, trainer Alexis Martinez at Loro Parque in Spain was violently rammed and killed by Keto, an orca on loan from SeaWorld.
- SeaWorld routinely allowed its most senior trainers to put themselves in extremely vulnerable positions with Tilikum, even though he had already been involved in the death of two people.
- Some SeaWorld defenders said the incident was Dawn's fault and she should never have been in such a vulnerable position. But several SeaWorld witnesses at the hearing to overturn the OSHA violation testified that Dawn did not break protocol that day.
- Despite the clear danger of being in shallow water so close to Tilikum, SeaWorld to this day considers what Dawn was doing when she died to be "dry work" instead of "water work."
- SeaWorld had been clearly warned of the risks in allowing water work. Following a serious incident at SeaWorld San Diego in 2006 in which a trainer nearly drowned, the California state OSHA wrote: "If someone hasn't been killed already, it is only a matter of time before it does happen."
- SeaWorld successfully exerted its considerable political influence to have the death warning redacted from the final report that was issued in 2007.
- Two former employees filed sworn affidavits alleging that SeaWorld hid or destroyed documents sought by federal agents in the investigation of Brancheau's death, and tried to impede other parts of the investigation. (Both whistleblowers subsequently retracted their allegations within a short period of time of each other.)
- One of the whistleblowers alleged that senior male trainers at Shamu Stadium had sexually harassed female trainers, asking for sexual favors in exchange for more "water time" with the whales. When asked about the matter, SeaWorld spokesman Fred Jacobs did not deny the allegations.
- SeaWorld was the subject of a lengthy audit and investigation by the US Department of Labor over unfair hiring practices. Government inspectors asserted that more than 1000 qualified African-American and Hispanic applicants had been turned down for employment.
- The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) cited SeaWorld for a "willful" violation of the law in the Brancheau incident and said the company had acted with plain indifference to employee safety.
- SeaWorld will likely challenge any negative ruling from its appeal to the OSHA violation, which would send the case to Washington, DC, where the ongoing process would pit SeaWorld's owner, The Blackstone Group, against US Labor Secretary Hilda Solis. Blackstone's CEO, Stephen Schwarzman, is an influential supporter of Mitt Romney and once compared Barack Obama to Adolf Hitler.
- Contrary to popular belief, SeaWorld conducts only limited scientific research on killer whales in its collection, and does very little to directly impact wild orca habitat.
- A careful review of the published, peer-reviewed literature shows that most studies done on SeaWorld's orcas pertain to the husbandry of captive animals, with little benefit for those in the ocean.
- SeaWorld does not appear to be active in saving the threatened and endangered orcas of the Pacific Northwest or the wild salmon on which they depend.
- SeaWorld's vaunted orca breeding program has created a legacy of captive killer whales who are closely related to each other in a way that would not happen in the wild.
- Today many of Tilikum's descendants are being bred with each other.
- In one case, a young male was allowed to impregnate his own mother, something that is as socially taboo in wild whales as it is in most human societies.
- Most captive-bred orcas at SeaWorld are unnatural hybrids – bizarre mixtures of blood from fish-eating resident whales and mammal eating transient whales from the Pacific, and Icelandic whales from the North Atlantic.
- Unlike most other animals that generate profit through entertaining humans, killer whales at SeaWorld and other venues are never allowed to retire. They work literally until they die.
- Six killer whales in US parks were captured from the wild, the last survivors of captures that ended in the 1980s, but their owners refuse to consider allowing them to retire to a sea pen or coastal marine sanctuary where they could be looked after and fed for their remaining years.

The Brian Lehrer Show
Open Phones: Your Rules for Protecting Your Smart Phone
Has your smart phone been stolen? Did you get it back? Either way, we've got your practical, realistic tips for protecting smart phones with a real-world tip sheet from Brian Lehrer Show listeners.
Tips from the BL Show Crowd
Note: We're working on a handy picture-guide with these tips, so check back soon!
- Tommy – Manhattan: sit far from subway doors.
- Lauren – Crown Heights: don't leave it out on a table at restaurants.
- Melissa – Park Slope: don't leave it on the table at outdoor cafes; sit further from sidewalk
- Howard – Bronx: don't lend to strangers
- Jesse – Remind people about the "find my iPhone" feature
- Kathleen: Don't let strangers "help" with your bags.
- Luther – San Francisco: engrave the back of the phone with "REWARD IF FOUND"
- Fran from Syosset: use a zippered, "unattractive" bag, keep it at the bottom of the bag, when it's in your pocket keep your hand ON it in your pocket.
Attorney General Eric Schneiderman's Official Tips
- Take advantage of security applications. Consumers should take advantage of apps designed to deter theft
- Apple users should upgrade to the latest operating system, iOS 7, and confirm "Find My iPhone" is enabled. This allows you to remotely track, lock and erase your data in the event that your phone is stolen. It also renders your device useless to thieves, further deterring theft.
- Android users, the operating system on the bulk of non-Apple smartphones, should consider activating the "Android Device Manager," which allows you to remotely track, lock and erase your data in the even your phone is stolen.
- There are many third-party security apps for Apple and Android smartphones to consider as well.
- Password protect your phone.
- Write down your model number, serial number and unique device ID, especially the International Mobile Equipment Identifier. Known as the "IMEI" number, this can be discovered by dialing *#06# or checking the battery compartment.
- Be aware of your surroundings. Smartphone thieves look for easy targets.
- Do not walk and text, and avoid engaging in cell phone conversations while on transit.
- Keep your cell phone and other device(s) in a pocket, purse, or backpack.
- Never lend your phone to a stranger.
- Don't leave your phone out on a table in public.
- Try to keep your phone out of sight and in a place not readily accessible, even if that means a slight inconvenience in accessing it yourself.
- React quickly if your phone is stolen. Much as you would immediately report a stolen credit card to your credit card company, there are steps you should take immediately if your smartphone has been stolen.
- Report the theft to the local police department. This will allow law-enforcement to monitor popular resale (SITES) for your device. Having a police report will also help you should you choose to file an insurance claim for stolen property.
- Report the theft to your wireless carrier. This allows your carrier to deactivate the service and add your phone's unique identifying information to a database that may prevent it from being used again.
- Activate any security apps that you have installed.
- If you own an iPhone, log in to your iCloud account, go to Find My iPhone, and put your phone in Lost Mode.

Teach your preschooler about shapes all while letting her flex her creative muscles and get crafty with this adorable and easy spring flower button craft. Using just seven supplies (all which are likely found in your home), this craft is a project that your little one can follow the directions on (with your help), but still put her own spin on it, coloring and decorating as she sees fit.

Crafts are a wonderful way to teach young children important concepts. Through being creative and having fun, their minds are open to learning new ideas. In this craft, sewing buttons are used as flowers. Before you craft together, spread the buttons out on your workspace. Try to offer up buttons that come in different shapes and colors so your preschooler has a variety to choose from. Talk about the different shapes and where your preschooler has seen these shapes in everyday life -- for example, if you have a rectangle-shaped button, point out your rectangle-shaped refrigerator or blanket.

This craft will also ask your preschooler to cut shapes out of paper. If your preschooler is on the younger side, draw the shapes on the paper yourself, then help your preschooler follow the lines while he cuts. If your preschooler is a bit older, and can do a good job drawing shapes, have him do the drawing and then the cutting as well.

When it comes to making arts and crafts with preschool-aged children, there are a few things to keep in mind.

Keep the craft fast and easy. Most young children don't have super-long attention spans.

To that end, make sure all of the supplies are laid out ahead of time.

Cover any workspace with a plastic tablecloth, a drop cloth, or newspaper to avoid your little one making a mess on the table.

Have your preschooler wear a smock as she crafts.

Some tips when working on the flower button craft:

White paper shows off the colors and the design off best, but any colored paper will do.

Let your preschooler cut the yarn and the shapes out of paper. Both can be any size.

While glue will hold the buttons in place, you might be better off using rubber cement.

What you'll need:

Construction paper, any size (the project shown uses 11" x 17" paper), white is best

Construction paper in multiple colors (8" x 11")

Yarn in different colors

Scissors

Liquid glue or rubber cement

Crayons

Buttons in assorted sizes, shapes, and colors

Get crafting!

On the large piece of paper, have your preschooler practice drawing shapes. Our example above has the shapes grouped together in lines, but really, anyplace on the page that they put them is fine. Cover the whole page, with the understanding that some of the shapes will be covered by a paper vase, yarn, and button flowers.

Using safety scissors, have your preschooler cut any number shapes out of the colored construction paper. If it is easier, have your little one draw the shapes first using a pencil or crayon, then cut them out.

Draw a vase with a pencil on the colored paper. Have your preschooler cut it out.

Glue the paper vase onto the paper where your preschooler has drawn and colored shapes. Be sure to leave enough room for your yarn stems and flower buttons.

Ask your preschooler to glue the cut out shapes onto the vase. Let dry.

Have your preschooler cut different lengths of yarn to serve as stems for your flowers.

Using the liquid glue or rubber cement, glue the yarn stems coming out of the vase. Let dry.

Using the buttons, have your preschooler glue flower heads onto the stems. Liquid glue or rubber cement work best. Let dry.

Make sure your preschooler signs and dates her creation.

Hang in an important place or frame for a fabulous gift!

So if you took a 377 turning fast enough to get 110% ve, and compare it with a slower turning 400 at 100% ve, the 377 will actually be a bigger motor in terms of flow due to the extra 10% of ve. 377 x 10 % 37.7 or 38 cu in. 377 + 38 = 415 cu in.
Anybody follow that theory of mine? I was following that 427 vs 454 thread and was waiting for someone to point that out but it never was considered in the thread.
I can understand your point, but we're taking these non-scientific terms like "RPM engine" and "loves to spin" and trying to tack on a quantitative attribute to them. The problem with both motors is that unless you spend the money on internals, you're not going to run more than 5500RPM. A 350 CID chevy motor with stock internals is about a 5500 RPM redline motor. Why then, would a 377 with the same stroke be able to rev any better? A 377 with some high buck internals will probably be nicely efficient at a higher RPM, because of the large over-square. The issue is that stock rods are going to stretch above 5500 or 6000 on a regular basis, not to mention the fact that those big 400 CID slugs on the end of them weigh more than a normal 350 slug does. So now you're talking high dollar rods, a big cam and some upper-end heads to make your 110% VE at 6700RPM. Furthermore, to do that you've lost a bunch of power between 0 and 3000 RPM and your motor is basically a race-only setup.
So I guess what I'm getting at is not only is a 400 a better overall choice, but dollar for dollar if you want to start spending money on internals and give the 400 a bullet-proof bottom end like the 377 will need, you'll see the difference even more.

With the addition of Bolt on Mods like Exhaust, CAI, Chip, Underdrive pullies and cams would it be benificial for a 24v to run a different FPR ?
I recently read a post where lightly modded stock 12v's were gaining more HP in the higher revs. I know the 1.8t's benifit from this, but what about us ? Anyone try it yet ? I'm sure our stock ones are 3 bar ?

FLORENCE, SC – Two Summerville residents, women's tennis player Maria Ave-Lallemant and track and field athlete Shayla Tarte, are among 89 student-athletes at Francis Marion University who have been named to the university's Swamp Fox Honor Roll, and will be honored at the school's annual Hall of Fame/Swamp Fox Honor Roll banquet on Feb. 28.
Students-athletes named to the honor roll earned 3.0 or higher grade point averages during either the 2002 spring or fall semester. Each academic year, approximately 160 students compete in intercollegiate athletics at Francis Marion.
Tarte, a 2001 graduate of Summerville High School, is a sophomore accounting major. Last year, she was presented the Most Valuable Player award for the FMU track squad. She was among the points leaders on the Patriot team, and established new school records in the 400-meters (1:01.91) and the long jump (17-0), and was a member of the record-setting 400-meter relay team (50.58).
Ave-Lallemant is a 1999 graduate of Port Charlotte (Fla.) High School, but now lists Summerville as her hometown. A visual arts major, she is in her second year on the Patriot tennis team.
Former Francis Marion women's basketball coach and current University of North Carolina head coach Sylvia Hatchell will be the guest speaker for the dinner. The university will honor its first national championship team, the 1981-82 women's basketball team that was coached by Hatchell. That squad compiled a 27-7 record and captured the Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for Women (AIAW) Division II national championship. Hatchell is believed to be the only coach to win national titles under three different affiliations, having later guided Francis Marion to the 1986 NAIA championship and UNC to the 1994 NCAA Division I crown.
Prior to taking the head coaching position in Chapel Hill, she directed the Francis Marion women's basketball program from 1975 to 1986, leading the Patriots to a 272-80 mark and the two national titles. A two-time national coach of the year, she entered the 2002-03 season with a career coaching mark of 602-249 in 27 seasons. She is sixth on the active list of Division I coaches for career wins, and her current Tar Heel squad is 23-2 and ranked eighth (as of Feb. 19).
The newest members of the FMU Athletic Hall of Fame, former men's tennis player Sam Lundkvist and former cross country and track and field athlete Mark Bedenbaugh, will also be recognized at the banquet.
This marks the 11th year FMU has held an academic achievement banquet for its student-athletes.

By DAVID W. DUNLAP
Published: February 18, 1987
Built in splendor by a German congregation, kept in its waning days by a Polish congregation and finally abandoned, New York's oldest synagogue building is now owned by a Spanish sculptor who dreams of turning it into an artists' colony.
More than a decade before the Civil War, the Gothic structure was built by Congregation Anshe Chesed at 172 Norfolk Street. The largest synagogue in the city, it was meant to hold 1,200 worshipers, was often filled with hundreds more and towered over its neighbors on the Lower East Side.
''This synagogue was known as the home - the Carnegie Hall - of the cantorial art,'' Cantor Matus Radzivilover recalled.
Today, it is a newly designated city landmark and a ruin. Inside, tawny daylight and deep shadow mingle under vaulted expanses of ceiling painted sky blue with sprinklings of golden Stars of David. Thirteen years after Cantor Radzivilover's words last resonated there, the only sounds are the cooing and flapping of pigeons. #25 Apartments for Artists Above the women's gallery, the plaster and wood vaults have given way, exposing a lacy network of lathing and stark holes in the rooftop. It is colder in the sanctuary than outside.
No longer a cynosure, the synagogue is tucked in among tenement buildings between Stanton and Houston Streets. Beige and ochre stucco flakes off its facade in big chunks. Most of the stained-glass windows are either smashed out or boarded up. The doorways are sealed and closed with heavy padlocks.
The new owner, Angel Orensanz, plans to clear the inside of the synagogue - salvaging whatever possible, including the ark - and then build a five- or six-story structure within the existing exterior shell, which he would completely restore.
There would be 20 to 25 apartment-studios for artists. Mr. Orensanz would maintain a studio of his own and the basement would be given over to community use. Served 3 Congregations
''Originally, he wanted to preserve the whole thing,'' said his brother, Al, who serves as translator and spokesman. ''But that proved to be absolutely impossible.''
Congregation Anshe Chesed, a German group, was established in 1828. It was the third Jewish congregation in New York, after Shearith Israel and B'nai Jeshurun. On May 16, 1850, according to a history prepared by the city's Landmarks Preservation Commission, its new synagogue opened.
The architect was Alexander Saeltzer, who also designed the Astor Library at 425 Lafayette Street, now the Public Theater. The synagogue's Gothic style is so pronounced that there were those who said Saeltzer had been inspired by the Cologne cathedral.
Anshe Chesed remained at Norfolk Street until 1874. From 1886 until 1921, the synagogue was home to Congregation Ohab Zedek. A Polish congregation, Anshe Slonim, worshiped there from 1921 until 1974, when it had to abandon the synagogue. 'It Is a Part of Me'
''There were no more worshipers and the neighborhood had changed,'' Cantor Radzivilover said. In 1983, the historian Gerard R. Wolfe wrote in a city guidebook, ''Regrettably there seems little that can be done to save this historic landmark.''
Last September, the structure was purchased for $500,000 by Mr. Orensanz, a 44-year-old Spaniard who lives in Chelsea and whose commissions include a monumental work for the Marriott Marquis Hotel in Atlanta. He was looking for a studio with ceilings high enough to accommodate his tall, cylindrical sculptures.
But there was something else about the building. ''I feel as if it is a part of me,'' he said in Spanish. ''I have the impression of having seen it before in other parts of the world. It is as if I form part of the building.''
On Feb. 10, the landmarks commission granted landmark status to the building, saying, ''The graceful arches and delicate tracery of this structure continue to enhance this historic neighborhood with remembrances of other, more prosperous times.'' Oldest Survivor
The landmarks panel noted that Anshe Chesed is the oldest surviving structure built as a synagogue in New York. The Bialystoker Synagogue on the Lower East Side is 24 years older, but was originally built as the Willett Street Methodist Episcopal Church.
The new landmark designation affects only the exterior of the building. Turning its interior into a residential development appears to be the only way to save the structure.

Daikichi Ninniku Ramen $10.80
I am the biggest garlic fiend, so naturally I went for the Daikichi ninniku ramen which was fragrant with dried garlic slices and topped bamboo, chasu pork, nori, shallots and half a perfectly soft-boiled egg. The broth was porky and soy-flavoured, not too heavy and the noodles were just right. I wished the pork were of the fattier cuts though.
Daikichi Shouyu Ramen $9.80
He-who-must-not-be-named's daikichi shouyu ramen was the basic version of mine, lovely rich broth which I found similar to Menya's and two big slices of lean pork. Also hooray for perfect googie eggs in every bowl!
Chicken Karaage $3.30
We couldn't resist ordering a side of chicken karaage. Three pieces of crunchy deep-fried chicken which we found delicious and surprisingly un-oily.

More Water for Fifth Third's Ballpark
Fifth Third Ballpark is adding more fire hydrants.
There were only two there in January when that fire destroyed a good part of the ballpark.
WOOD TV says there will be at least 5 hydrants in the future.
And, yes, the home-opening is still set for April 8th. As their billboards say, "Never a doubt."

Unmotivated, no gyms, nothing.
Hi. This is my first time on the forum, so I apologize if I posted this thread in the wrong section. I hope to have a great stay here!
My name is Henry, and I am currently 15 years of age. I've always been into martial arts, especially Jiu-Jitsu. I recently gained an interest in MMA this year. I trained at an MMA gym for around 3 months. I stopped training at that gym because I felt very insecure with egotastic practitioners, and the facility was simply too small to train; let alone spar and roll.
I flooded the internet with searches for my nearest BJJ/MMA gym. There was a BJJ gym around 1 hour away from where I live. As my mother has a very busy schedule, and she does not take notice of my interests; I decided to take public transport. I arrive at the BJJ gym and I can promise you it was the best training lesson ever. Everyone was friendly and caring. No ego, fun, training for our own purposes. Pure class.
I had my trial day, and was given information on training fees. I was stunned by how expensive they were, and it was simply too expensive to afford as a teen.
Decided to move onto Judo.
A Judo gym is surprisingly only 15 minutes away from me. I got there, and it was another mcdojo. Kids mucking around in Gi's, no sparring, instructors telling stories about his childhood and bullies. Not what I was looking for.
All the other gyms are up north from where I live which are 1 hour and a half away from me.
I'm so frustrated about how hard it is to find a decent gym over here. Should I take boxing as a starter? There aren't any Muay Thai gyms for me over there either. And I don't want to do TKD because 90% of them are mcdojos and it simply doesn't work in a fight. arghhhhhhh.....
Any suggestions guys? Training fees / money is what stops me from training. Other than that, I am so determined to train as hard as I can.
Summary of this:
Should I start boxing and transfer onto MMA later? Boxing doesn't utilize kicks but I guess it's a good starter. Your opinion please?
Join your Highschool Wrestling and Judo Team. If you are able to also enroll in Boxing then do that too.
Wrestling is a very good base for MMA and its FREE.
Judo is also a good choice, but I would recommend wrestling if not both.
Boxing is a very good base as well.
Hahaha i hate mcdojos i used to attend one when i was a little kid but i quit that fake dojang now. Depending on where you live, you should look for a martial art or boxing gym with a good reputation. Boxing is actually very good to start MMA, I'm learning boxing right now and you'll be able to throw accurate and sharp punches when you get into MMA. It is also beneficial because many MMA fighters are not strong in striking because they have to practice submissions, takedowns,clinches and etc. That is why Anderson Silva and GSP come to the wild card gym to train with freddie roach and improve their strikes. I highly suggest it if possible.
I might go ahead and join a boxing gym next week or so.
2) Jump rope.
3) YouTube tutorials.

Another thing is to take the Evan Tanner/Rich Franklin route and get together with friends, get some instructional DVD's and work it out together :) have fun!
I guess I gotta get myself a job. Earn 900 dollars and pay a 6-month BJJ training contract.

Palin gets last laugh/Her endorsements are winning
As the link says, it's funny how the Wash Post picked this up because just when the rest of the media wrote Palin off for dead, she is getting the last laugh as her endorsements keep winning.
Media also wrote the Tea Paty off too. They never learn as OBY took them for granted in the 2010 mid terms.

Arsène Wenger believes that if shirt pulling is to be stamped out of football, referees must be consistent in punishing offenders.
Law 12 of the Fifa 'Laws of the Game' states that 'a direct free kick [or penalty] is awarded to the opposing team if a player holds an opponent.'
Shirt pulling is becoming a more and more familiar sight in football, especially at corners. However referees rarely penalise such offences.
During Wenger's press conference on Friday afternoon, Wenger was asked his opinion on the matter.
"I have got a view that it is a foul to pull the shirt," he said. "The difficulty is, in the same corner, five different couples of players pull the shirts.
"So who is first [to commit an offence] and who is last? When do you make the decision? It is very difficult you know.
"Maybe, purely you can say it is a penalty but how many times is that not given?
"Until you get the referees to act in a consistent way that the players know anybody who pulls a shirt can be pulled and be punished, you will not get that out."

U.S. senators call for reforms of U.S. soccer body at FIFA corruption hearing
By Mark Hosenball
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. senators on Wednesday called for extensive reforms in the way soccer is run by both international and U.S. governing bodies, and questioned what current U.S. soccer chiefs knew about corruption in the global organization FIFA.
"The facts show there had to be either wilful ignorance or blatant incompetence on behalf of many of the members of this organization - that's true of U.S. Soccer as well," said Sen. Richard Blumenthal, the top Democrat on the Senate commerce subcommittee at a hearing it held on Wednesday to examine alleged corruption in FIFA and related soccer bodies.
There has been "a mafia-style crime syndicate in charge of this sport," said Blumenthal. He said that was "almost insulting to the Mafia ... because the Mafia would never have been so blatant, overt and arrogant in its corruption."
"I want to know what reforms U.S. Soccer Federation is planning to introduce ... what and when ... clearly there is an urgent need for such reforms," he added.
Dan Flynn, CEO of the U.S. federation, the sport's American governing body often referred to as simply U.S. Soccer, told the hearing he favored reforms in the sport's governance but that he had seen previous reform attempts "come up short."
Flynn said that while, over the years, he had experienced "discomfort" at unspecified developments he saw in soccer, personally he had no idea of the extent of alleged corruption in the sport until U.S. authorities in late May issued a sweeping criminal indictment of some of the sport's leading international figures.
But Blumenthal said: "U.S. Soccer had a responsibility to know. Either it knew or it should have known and the fans can judge which is worse."
Former U.S. soccer official Chuck Blazer, who was a FIFA executive committee member for 17 years, has been at the center of the corruption scandal. He has pleaded guilty to a series of offences related to bribery and is cooperating with authorities. Continued...
