OK, Ray Allen you could understand. But…Eddie House? The sharp shooting guard led the Celtics to an easy 98-83 win Wednesday night against the Heat. House used to play for Miami, so perhaps he saves his biggest games for his former team.
House had a season-high point total of 20 in the second quarter alone, and finished with 25 points overall. He shot 7-11 from long distance and 9-15 overall. He also threw in four rebounds in his 26 minutes. Ray Allen led all scorers with 27 points (5-6 from 3-pt land). Allen and House combined to shoot 12-17 from beyond the arc.
The prolific three-point shooting was not relegated to just Allen and House, as Rajon Rondo, Paul Pierce, and Brian Scalabrine each pitched in another three-pointer for 15 total. The Heat last gave up at least that many three-pointers on Nov. 9, 2007 against the Phoenix Suns.
The sharp shooting overshadowed the return of center Kendrick Perkins, who was sitting out while nursing a shoulder injury. Perk finished with two points and seven rebounds in 22 minutes of action.
Shawn Marion, who used to be a good player, is barely a shadow of his former self. He finished with two points and one rebound in just over eight minutes of floor time. To his credit, he's nursing a groin injury which has limited him lately. Either way, he'll be an attractive commodity at the trade deadline due to his $17.8 million expiring contract.
Overall, this game was never close. The Celtics raced out to a 29-10 lead, and for the rest of the game never held less than a dougle-digit lead. It's nice to play that well on the road, but the Heat are only an average team.
Next up for the Celtics is the hot Orlando Magic Thursday night on the second game of a back-to-back. A win here would be HUGE.
Tags: Celtics, Eddie House, Kendrick Perkins, Miami Heat, Ray Allen, Shawn Marion
I don't know why everyone was so worried about the Celtics when they had their little off streak. I think it has made them a better team going through a little adversity. The Lakers and Magic have not had that point in the season yet.

- 1/2 cup butter, cubed
- 7 tablespoons lemon juice
- 5 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 to 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Place shrimp and scallops in a large resealable plastic bag; set aside.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the butter, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder and paprika. Microwave at 50% power for 1 minute or until butter is melted. Stir to blend; set aside 1/3 cup for basting. Pour remaining marinade over shrimp ans scallops. Seal bag and turn to coat; refrigerate for 1 hour, turning occasionally.
- Drain and discard marinade. Alternately thread shrimp and scallops on metal or soaked wooden skewers.

I just wanted to extend a sincere thank you to my mom, my wife, and all the other mom's out there for keeping the world from destroying itself! Hopefully everyone had a great day.

Happy Thanksgiving!
Today is a day to give thanks and eat too much food, but I did not want the day to pass without saying Happy Thanksgiving to all of you that take the time to read The Prepared Ninja. Like many things in life, I fail to say thank you enough to all of you who take the time to support me and my work here. So…thank you for your time and support. I appreciate each and every one of you. It is my hope that you will be able to enjoy today with your family and friends while remembering to be thankful for the life we have been blessed with.
We ought to give thanks for all fortune: if it is good, because it is good, if bad, because it works in us patience, humility and the contempt of this world and the hope of our eternal country. ~C.S. Lewis
I also ask that you keep our troops in your thoughts and prayers today. It has been six years that I have been able to be home and I am extremely grateful for that, but there are many of my brothers and sisters-in-arms that are still deployed abroad. There are also many Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, Marines and Coastguardsmen that are not able to be with family even though they may be at home. This can be a difficult time and your thoughts and prayers are appreciated.
Happy Thanksgiving from The Prepared Ninja!
Teaching Your Kids About Preparation – Guest Post
Teaching Your Kids About Preparation
Written by Naomi Broderick
Preparation in today's day and age is a must. To assume that a natural disaster, a home invader, or a financial collapse won't affect your family is a tad naïve. Preparation is about attempting to foresee the potential disasters, creating a stockpile of goods, learning the necessary skills, and creating a contingency plan to deal with the situation. As a parent, the task of disaster preparation is even harder. You not only have to prepare yourself, you have to teach your children what to do in case of a disaster.
Teach Preparation, Not Paranoia
Before we get started on the nitty-gritty details, I feel I must caution that parent to keep in mind that the information about potential disasters and tactics to deal with them must be imparted gently and with care. If your tactics are scaring or causing paranoia to the point where your kids can't function normally, you might want to take a step back and rethink your tactics.
Model Preparation
One of the most vital tactics to teach disaster preparation is to be prepared. Be the man or woman that you want your children to be. Children learn a lot of their beliefs, values, and behavior from observing their parental figures. If they see you doing safety drills, stockpiling food, talking about safety with the family, they will be more likely to internalize the values and behaviors that you are exhibiting before they fully realize why. And gradually as the years pass, they will grasp the importance of living their life in a prepared manner.
Talk about the Contingency Plan and Safety
You may be of the opinion that your child isn't old enough to know about the dangers of the world. That is a valid parenting choice, but you should not leave them completely defenseless and unprepared. You can tell them what to do in case of an emergency without spelling out the potential disasters that might affect the family.
You tell your kids not to get into cars with strangers, but leave out all the potential reasons why someone would kidnap a child. Why? Because you won't always be there. Preparation for natural disasters, financial hardships, and home invasions are much like that. You won't always be there when a hurricane approaches or when an intruder invades your home.
And if you are there, you might need to focus on other tasks. You might have a limited amount of time to board up the windows or collect the back packs of supplies. Having a child wander off to play at an inopportune time could be potentially disastrous. Even children must do their part to ensure the safety of their family. Give them the knowledge to do so.
Regular Drills of Contingency Plans
The goal of a contingency plan is to have the family complete the actions required in a safe and time efficient manner. It may seem juvenile, but drills are paramount. Completing the safety drill over and over again will make grabbing supplies, making home preparations, and getting out of the house second nature. Before the drill the knowledge was intellectual. Intellectual knowledge of what they should do in a natural disaster is faulty. The memory might fail them and fear might make them forget. After the drills, their bodies will know what must be done as if on autopilot. You should do the drills at least once every two weeks until the family can do them effortlessly. After the family has them down, you can do the drills once a month.
Make Learning Skills and Running Drills Fun
Children, especially children that do not understand the importance of preparing for disasters, can be uncooperative. There are so many more appealing activities that they could be doing in their free time. As much as you can, you should strive to get the children to enthusiastically engage in the drills and skills.
- Turn drills into a game or a fun competition.
- If necessary offer awards for willingly becoming involved in preparation activities. You should not give them awards for intellectual or physical merit because your goal should be to promote a life time dedication to preparation. Rewarding intellectual or physical accomplishments might increase the knowledge in the present, but it will decrease their dedication to preparation for the long haul.
- Sign the child up for classes in Karate, Kayaking, Swimming, and other skills. If they take a liking to one of them, sign them up for the long haul.
- Take the child camping and share your love of fishing and hunting in order to teach children to survive without modern grocery stores.
Being prepared is more than an activity. It is a lifestyle choice that has the capability of assuring a long life for you and your family. Through parents, children can learn the importance of preparing for disasters. You can teach your kids in a variety of ways. The end result should always be the same: a child with the tools to survive with and without the parent's guidance.
Naomi Broderick is a professional writer who's secure in her abilities and even more confident in her parenting. When she's not juggling her three children in the front yard and planning out her next safety drill, she writes for ProtectYourHome.com, a leader in home security.
A Serious Gated Community!
Nothing says, "Parking Permit Required!" like two giant stone walls with gates around your neighborhood. This is exactly what is planned though for The Citadel, a concept community conceived by patriots and financed by the III Arms Company. Current plans have the community slated to be built in the mountains of Idaho or somewhere else in the region that James Wesley Rawles has dubbed, The American Redoubt. Stemming from an idea bounced around the liberty focused blogosphere in 2012, this community has quickly come to fruition with 20 acres already purchased in Benewah County, Idaho to house the relocated headquarters and factory of the III Arms Company.
For many, this scenario makes a lot of sense while others are concerned that this type of community creates a giant target for the government. I see both sides of the argument but think that The Citadel will catch on. Especially if the federal government continues to move in the direction of current travel. While such communities may not be a perfect solution, at least there are groups looking for a solution. Below are some of the details about The Citadel…
What can I expect to find within the walls of The Citadel community?
The Citadel expects to offer the following features:
- III Arms Factory
- Curtain Walls & Towers, Main Gate
- John Parker Town Green
- Town Hall
- Community Armory
- Citadel Firearms Museum
- Town Center – Retail/Commercial
- Farmer's Market
- Medical Center
- Retirement Facility
- Citadel Schools/Boarding School
- Library
- Tourist Visitor Center
- Houses/Townhomes/Condos
- Canals/Lake/Ponds
- Firearms/Archery Ranges
- Sports Fields
- Hotel
- III Bank
- Churches
- Power/Biomass/Water Plant
- Underground Shelter
- Post Office
- Fire House
- Stockade/Jail
- Grounds Building
- Walking Trails
- Orchards/Gardens/Parks
- Outdoor Pavilions/Amphitheatre
- Command & Control Center
- Media Center
- Airstrip/Helipad
- Shuttle System/Parking Center
Who can live in this community?
Anyone who is willing to agree to the Patriot Agreement as outlined by the community's organizers. In addition, the concept of the Citadel holds dear to the idea of Rightful Liberty, allowing for free practices without limit of race or religion.
How does this idea of Patriot communal living work?
Each home will be a lifetime lease instead of owned as personal property. The Citadel spells it out as a Patriot Disneyland:
One of the primary reasons for a lease paradigm versus private property inside the walls is our desire to make the community for Patriots only.
The model will be similar in many ways to that of Disneyland. It is walled, gated, private property with controlled access. People pay to enter and agree to the rules because they see value in doing so. It is all based on a voluntary agreement between the owners of the property and those who want to come inside. Millions of people visit Disneyland and interact peacefully. It's exceptionally rare to hear of any serious problems. The key is that those people want to be there and understand what is expected of them. Surprisingly similar to what we are doing.
According to the Citadel website, each home will include:
Every Citadel home will come with a 2,500 gallon water tank, a one year supply of food for either 1 or 2 adults, 1 or 2 AR15-variant rifles and 1,000 rounds of ammunition per rifle, a generator, a composting toilet, a vault, a protective Safe Room.
The threats that the Citadel will be designed to combat are:
The Citadel is primarily designed to defend against a grid-down, economic collapse scenario. When most people ask this question they are thinking in terms of defending against violent action but there are other aspects to defending ourselves. Self-sufficiency in terms of food, water and energy are also a form of defense against a collapse scenario, so these are a major part of our plan.
The Citadel is not designed to withstand any direct .Mil or .Gov attack. Nor is the Citadel, in any manner, attempting to provoke any government entity.
What does living in The Citadel community cost?
According to the official Citadel Housing Cost Calculator, housing will run anywhere from $347 for a 600 square foot house on one acre outside of the walls all the way up to $6,998 for a 10,000 square foot house on one acre inside the walls. There are other options available such as a 300 square foot emergency micro-suite inside the walls for an additional cost of $250 a month.
The folks of the Citadel and III Arms Company have also come up with an answer for why this project will succeed while other similar concepts have failed previously:
Why Do You Think You Will Succeed Where Others Have Failed?
An effort such as this can have philosophical, social, economic, political and religious aspects that must be considered. Previous attempts have either ignored one or more of those aspects or not understood the consequences of the decisions that were made that affect them.
Our effort is based on Rightful Liberty which, as a live-and-let-live philosophy, makes us good neighbors. We feel no need to convert anyone to our way of thinking or try to control anyone else's behavior, except to the extent needed to defend our Rightful Liberty. We have a base economic engine for the Citadel in the form of the III Arms Company that should provide initial financial support. We have the Patriot Agreement, a contract that clearly spells out our expectations of one another. We believe in the rule of law and have no interest in creating conflict with anyone. We will be an open community that encourages visitors and tourists. Most importantly, our efforts are based on voluntary action and voluntary association.
These factors should let us build a physical and social structure that will let us pursue our goal of a sustainable and defensible living space without the usual negative reactions that efforts like this often create.
It will be interesting to see how this Patriot community develops…
If you think living among fellow Patriots in the Citadel is for you, apply here.
Happy Thanksgiving
Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I hope that your holiday is filled with happiness, fun, food, and memories. 2012 has been a remarkable year with no shortage of things to complain about, but try to recall the good things that have come along as well. God bless you all on this day of giving thanks for all that we have been blessed with!

Fergie Flies Out Ahead of 34th Birthday
Just one day ahead of her 34th birthday, Stacy "Fergie" Ferguson was spotted jetting out of LAX airport en route to a concert on Thursday afternoon (March 26).
Still sporting her new black hair style while decked out in a black leather jacket, washed out pants and a scarf with Ray Ban sunglasses, the Black Eyed Peas frontwoman pried through the crowded terminal as she passed through security.
Following her birthday festivities, the "Big Girls Don't Cry" singer will be performing at this year's NCAA Final Four in Detroit, Michigan during free shows held April 3-5.
Fergie and her Black Eyed Peas join a lineup including Staind, N.E.R.D., Jesse McCartney and the Pussycat Dolls.
Enjoy the pictures of Fergie passing through LAX Airport (March 26).

How did the Keel Work Go?
I also have a Columbia 8.3 with a leaky keel. I wanted to know how hard was it to fix. Any issues come up to watch out for?
S/V Foreword
Columbia 8.3
8.3 Keel Attachment
There has been no keel leakage on my 1979, 8.3 for the past 8 years. After a grounding this summer, I noticed more water in the bilge than before. On haul out, water in the bilge trickled out of the keel seam.
The seam gap now is about the same as before the grounding. There has always been a large gap at the stern end of the seam. it is tight to the stump in the middle 2/3 and then a small gap towards the bow.
I checked the keel bolt nuts and they were all loose. Tighter than snug, but not much.
Questions: 1. Does anyone have a torque value for the keel nuts? 2. I have to believe water has freely moved into the gaps for many years. Does this represent a problem? 3. If I were to drop the keel this spring, how would re-seat the keel? There would have to be major filling and leveling work to make for a tight fit along the entire length of the seam.
Greatly appreciate your thoughts.

Sources close to the singer tell TMZ that he had to cut things off with Karrueche because he'd determined that she was an "opportunist." So what did Karrueche do wrong? The sources say Breezy didn't like that she talked about their relationship while promoting her clothing line and that she was also texting other men while they were dating.
TeeRoy's 2 Cents:
- She texted other guys? As if Chris hasn't done much worse than that?
- He didn't want her to talk about their relationship? That's the only reason people did the interviews?
- Chris sounds a little delusional.
- Let's guess the real reason: He thinks he's getting back with Rihanna.

Jim Flanery, Creighton Head Coach(Opening statement)
"I wish it was a lot warmer. We're thrilled to be here. We were the third to the last team called on Monday, so it was a long day. A long 40-minute wait till our name came up, but Syracuse is a very good team, very good opponent. We're going to have our hands full, but we played a Big East team, St. John's, in the first round of the tournament last year. We lost on a buzzer beater. We've played a really good non-conference schedule, and we feel like we are ready to go. We're healthy, and we're excited. There is a lot of orange here with Syracuse and Tennessee, but we are hoping to have a blue weekend."
(On 3-point shooting against Syracuse's 2-3 zone)
"It better be good for us. Their zone is very good, first of all. We have not played one team this year that is an exclusive zone team and Syracuse is. From that standpoint the preparation was a little bit easier because we know they're going to play zone. Whereas a lot of teams play both and there is an assumption based on how well we shoot the 3-pointer that we're maybe not going to see a lot of zone. Although we've seen teams mix it up. From that standpoint, we're at least prepared. We brought in guys this week a couple different times at the beginning of the week. We're going to shoot a lot of 3s. That's what we do. We took 44 in a game two weeks ago. It was an overtime game so we only took 39 through the first 40 minutes. I don't think we'll be at that number, but we're not that big, we don't have people who can necessarily beat you off the dribble.
"You've got to be able to get into gaps and we have a couple kids who can get into those gaps against the zone. We don't want to completely settle, but we're going to shoot a lot of 3s. The first thing we have to do is get the ball up the floor against their full-court stuff. Some of it isn't designed to turn you over, it's designed to use some shot clock and shorten the shot clock. We've talked to our players about being confident. I feel like we're prepared. We know we're going to have to make some 3s. We've told our kids to not second guess themselves. You might think a team that leads the country in number of 3s made per game doesn't pass up 3s, but we do. We can't do that. We have to squeeze it when we have an opportunity."
(On sharing a common opponent with Syracuse in USF)
"I watched some of that. We were really hot against South Florida. There are just games that because of the nature of our team, we're going to make shots. We were 16-of-29 from 3-point range that game. At least two to three times during the second half I turned to the bench and said, `Can we keep this up?' It would be easy to think we beat South Florida by 17, but I don't think if we played South Florida 10 times we would beat them by 17 any other time than the one we played them. I'm not saying we couldn't beat them again, but we were very hot that game. I watched some of South Florida, but I know our players know we have that common opponent. I hope that's part of our belief that we can be successful tomorrow. They know that's the one common opponent."
(On taking in the experience of playing at Tennessee)
"We haven't told them yet, but if we win tomorrow we would go (to the women's basketball Hall of Fame) on Sunday. There just isn't time today. Our men our playing today so we want them to have the opportunity to watch our men play Cincinnati. That's a big part of it. I think there is probably a little bit more excitement of being able to come here and play in a pretty special place. I've talked to Pat Summitt a few times. I found her very pleasant. The circumstances of my talking to Pat are I'm watching a game in the summer time of one team that's playing a team that's a lot better. Pat is watching the team with a lot better players, but they were matched up against a Nebraska, Minnesota or Iowa team that I'm watching. Those are the circumstances of having met Pat, but I found her to be very pleasant and approachable. Although, she did tell me a couple different times that she was too old to be doing the summer recruiting thing."
(On the early tip-time)
"We got them up a little earlier for breakfast this morning because we didn't want them to sleep in today and have to get up early tomorrow. We want their time clock to be fairly similar and like you said, losing the hour it's even earlier. We have a few morning-kids, but most of our kids are like most college kids and not morning people. It's the same for Syracuse. It's that way for both of us. I'm curious as to what the attendance will be at the beginning of the game because of the early start. Obviously, I think by the second half there will be quite a few people there."
(On current Wichita State head coach and former Tennessee player Jody Adams)
"Jody has done a really good job. She's recruited well, gone outside of her area and gotten some Texas kids. She's really built that program. They were not very good when she got there and she's changed the culture. They have a very hard-working team. For our level, they're athletic and she brought in a really nice group four years ago and those kids are seniors now. She's done a really good job.
"The Wichita State program is one with good resources that loves their men's basketball. Given what she's done, I think they'll continue to jump on-board with what she's done. She's done a really nice job. They went out and scheduled more-aggressively this year. Early, she was trying to get to 8-3 before she got in the league and this year she didn't do that. They didn't win as many in the non-conference, but they really came along and played well through our conference season and then won our conference tournament. She's done a good job. I think she's the total package as a head coach."
Ally Jensen, Creighton(On the selection process)
"It was really hard - a long 40 minutes. We had seen all of the projected brackets and the teams that were on the bubble - in and out. Obviously, you don't know what's going to happen. It was really tough to sit there. We saw Kansas and thought, 'That's not good for us.' (We) saw Wichita was a little bit of a lower seed than we were expecting. And that last section, we see the 11, 12 and 13 seeds going off and you are like, 'Where are we?' We were definitely losing hope by the minute. But when we saw our name up there as a No. 10 seed, it was a lot of fun."
(On Thompson-Boling Arena)
"It's pretty humbling to be here, to play in this great arena where lots of great players and Pat Summitt. It's pretty cool to get to come here, but I mean we also aren't too much 'deer in the headlights' because we played at Notre Dame last year. So, we have a little bit of that star-struckness that we've experienced before. It's definitely humbling, and we're happy to be here."
(On Women's Basketball Hall of Fame)
"I'm not sure. I haven't really looked at out itinerary too much. Yesterday, we came right to practice, showered and went to dinner. This morning, we went to breakfast and came to practice. We might (go); I'm not really sure. We drove past it and saw it through the windows. Maybe if we win, we can go on Sunday."
Sarah Nelson, Creighton(On matchup with Kayla Alexander)
"Obviously, she is really successful; she averages 17 points a game. I think we are going to try and help on her as much as we can with guard defenders, things like that, and just kind of hope she has an off night. You have to obviously respect her a lot because she is a great post. I think we have a good plan, knocked out by (coach) Flan."
(On the selection process)
"I was sitting next to Ally, actually, and she was like, 'Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, we're not in.' We did a viewing party with our fans, we were wondering why did we do this in the public - it's going to be bad. Then, we just turned and all just freaked out. I think we had lost hope at that point, and then when we saw it come up, I can't even explain how happy we were."
(On getting an at-large berth)
"I know there were some people, even within our own conference, that probably didn't think we should get it. I know (coach) Flan for a long time has been scheduling a really tough non-conference schedule. You also had a lot of people that asked, 'Why are you doing this?' The fact that we got a couple good wins in our non-conference (schedule), with Nebraska and South Florida, I think is what got us in. I think it really proved that there was a method to his madness. It definitely helped us, and I think it shows that he has the confidence in us. Hopefully, we will prove ourselves now."
(On Thompson-Boling Arena)
"It's pretty exciting. We were in the practice arena the other day, and we all thought, 'This is pretty cool.' We are excited to get out there, just kind of give ourselves an advantage in a way. I know it's orange."
(On loss to St. John's last year)
"I think it kind of gives us a little chip on our shoulders. I can say that after that loss, normally people are pretty sad when their season ends, but we all got in the locker room and thought, 'Did that seriously just happen?' We were more mad than anything. I feel that we're excited to have another chance to be here. Obviously, playing against a Big East team is pretty exciting. To get the chance to do it again, I think we are hoping we have a little bit of luck in those last few seconds."

OK, maybe the '80s got it started with Dragnet, but we really have the '90s to blame for the plague of Hollywood remakes of old TV shows. If it was on the Nick at Nite lineup, you can bet some producer was trying to convince Judge Reinhold or Kelly McGillis that it would be a perfect family-friendly comeback vehicle. Can you endure the awful memories long enough to remember these eight '90s movies based on much earlier TV sources?

There Can Be Only Pun: My 90s Band Wrestling League
It seems like I face some new, frustrating dilemma almost every day. For a while, I tried to solve each one on my own, but I just can't do it anymore. I'm in over my head, and I need your help, Wooters! So, each week, I'm going to post a problem that I'm facing and you're going to help me solve it. But here's the catch: the solutions need to be puns. That's right: logic is secondary; puns are the primary goal here. I'll choose the best pun and announce it in next week's post.
THIS WEEK'S EPISODE: 90s Music Wrestling League!
This 90s-themed Woot-Off made me nostalgic for two of my favorite things from back then: 1) the music, and 2) the pro-wrestling. So, I thought, why not combine them? Why not start my own underground wrestling league where we dress like, act like, and listen to our favorite 90s musicians? The league itself would obviously have a name based on band from the 90s as well, but what? Here are some ideas:
1993 Through The Eyes Of Wikipedia
Like an Alexis de Tocqueville guiding you through history, Wikipedia's fingers reach into every crevice, nook, cranny, and dark scary place. Also like Alexis de Tocqueville, Wikipedia spills way too much ink explaining pointless crap. Come with us now as we explore the early 1990s through Wikipedia's verbose, thinly-veiled editorial voice.
HOTT '93: A Woot-Off Trip Back To The Yesterday Of Tomorrow
Oh, 1993, you enigmatic year, you. Were you the year of mindless frivolity like Sleepless in Seattle and "Achy Breaky Heart" and Boy Meets World? Were you the year the future began, with the launch of the first Pentium chips and the first true web browser (Mosaic, which mutated into Navigator, the stepfather of Firefox)? Were you the year we realized that the end of the Cold War only brought new and different problems, with the first World Trade Center bombing and the intensification of the war in Yugoslavia? Were you the year the likes of Pearl Jam and Stone Temple Pilots decisively set the mopey, leaden tone of mainstream rock for the rest of the millennium? What was your deal, 1993?
We're going to celebrate the 20th anniversary of this (for better or worse) pivotal year the only way we know how: with some dumb jokes in a Woot-Off. And with some pieces about various Clinton-era concerns on the Woot blog.
Oh, and with some '90s-themed giveaways on the Woot Facebook page ("Like" us to play along). We've got some used stuff, some authentic '90s deadstock, and some new stuff with a '90s flavor. You might just find a piece of your past. That's OK. There's no shame or judgment here. We all lived through it; we all did what we had to do to survive.
So here's to 1993, in all its ridiculous glory. For the next two days here on Woot, Homey will definitely play dat.

just wondering also if eurojet headers still making a come back?
just wondering also if eurojet headers still making a come back?
OBX sells them still, I think. Other then that, I haven't seen anything.
Here is the link. http://www.obxracingsports.com/products.php?pk=1829
Buy OBX, they're fine. Also, only $250ish on Ebay.
If it sounds like sarcasm, it probably is.
In all honesty, I don't think I have ever seen someone get obx headers and not have to do a load of work to make them fit with our motors.
SpeedHappens <----Check us out
Any of the headers that were made for our car, are a crap load of work to install.
They all require work to install.firstly it's replacing the studs for the manifold to bolt to. Then manufacturing a down pipe.... Eurojet at least came with that
Sent from the bottomless pits of HELL!
god i love my car. it may not be fast, but it's crazy fun!
C2 stage 2 TURBO!!! ACHTUNG!!! 2.5liter 5cylinder contents under pressure!!!
Somebody else makes them, their sold in MJM Autohaus. Their like a thousand bucks though. OBX sucks though. I got the headers and test pipe, the a/c lines are in the way of the top o2 sensor so you have to extend the wire down to the test pipe, my flange on the top of the test pipe wasn't even welded on, my hangers were in the wrong spot, and the flex pipe doesn't have braiding on the inside so it caused a terrible sound similar to a belt screeching. If you get obx, you better not this away your old stuff cause your probably gonna need some parts from it, and better have access to a welder.

Re: srt8 exhaust comversiona GC overland
Thats the full exhaust i have
Re: srt8 exhaust comversiona GC overland
Since you have the "complete" SRT setup, you'll have some additional problems with the install. The "How To" above primarily addresses the cat. back part of the system. With the headers, you'll have to address EGR Valve issues (the SRT doesn't have one) and clearance issues on the passenger side header. On the cat. back, the SRT outlets sit lower (bumper opening is several inches lower than the stock WK bumper) so the system will have to be slightly modified (not a big deal), you just won't be able to carry the existing spare or have a trailer hitch capable of hauling the same weight the stock one does.
There are threads on the SRT header install on some of the Jeep Forums, but essentially what you'll have to do is grind a notch (in the header flange) between the No. 2 exhaust port (front passenger side) and the EGR port in the cylinder head. It'll have to be deep enough to allow adequate flow of exhaust gasses through the EGR Valve and into the intake. If it's not deep enough, you'll get EGR malfunction codes. There is a clearance issue with the passenger side SRT header hitting the transmission case. The SRT's use the NAG1 transmission and the 5.7's use the 545RFE transmission. A small part of the the case (I think bellhousing) needs to be cut away so the header will clear. The bolt-up to the cylinder head is not a problem, except for the extremely tight clearance between the head and the frame rails. Exhaust ports do not completely match up, but the SRT ports are larger overall. I would guess that this install will net you between 15-25 noticeable hp.
As I said, the best thing is to do the search to get the straight scoop from those that have done the install. On mine, I had custom, ceramic coated tubular headers with a 3 in. single cat. back (straight through) built for my 5.7, run the stock spare, and have the SRT bumper with a reenforced stock hitch. Let us know how it goes, and good luck with the install.
Re: srt8 exhaust comversiona GC overland
Thanks alott i will need all the info i can get and if there is a thrrad out there with lots of pics would be really nice.
I had an idea of the header and egr but the transmition notch had no idea. Do u know were i would have to make the notch to kind of have an idea?. Were can i do a search for that info?
Re: srt8 exhaust comversiona GC overland
On this forum, I think DannyVtCa has done this swap. You may want to check with him. Say "hi" to him for me. I haven't seen him on here lately.
Edit: Here you go.....http://www.jeepgarage.org/f183/egr-n...lds-37205.html
IIRC, Danny had a problem caused by not making the groove deep enough, and he wasn't getting enough exhaust gas flow through the EGR Valve. You may want to search his screen name for that one too.
Edit Again: Look at Danny's post No. 7 here.....http://www.jeepgarage.org/f183/heads...ust-41047.html

Thanks for the help guys, havent had a chance to put the exhaust on because check engine light came on for a broken headet bolt so im waiting on the dealer to replace it and then ill go ahead and do my exhaust.
But for an update i actually did the srt8 stock intake mod and i felt a little more throttle responce here are some pics of it on
Re: srt8 exhaust comversiona GC overland
Allright guys im getting ready to do the exhaust now just waiting for the dealer to give me my car back, but got the gasket and was going to start the header notch but this gasket has 2 ports. Does anybody know wich one it would be??
Re: srt8 exhaust comversiona GC overland

Egr notch help
Re: srt8 exhaust comversiona GC overland
Put the gasket up to the head and match it with the EGR hole in the head. IIRC, it is the larger hole. Also, see if you can PM Dan to see how deep the notch should be.

Easy celebration cake recipe
- 60g slivered almonds
- 6 egg whites
- 1 cup caster sugar
- 600g strawberries
- Icing sugar, to dust
- 200g good quality dark chocolate
- 1 cup pouring/thin cream
Heat a frying pan over medium heat and toast almonds until golden. Don't walk away and stir frequently because once they start to colour, it happens quickly. Transfer almonds to a plate to cool. When cool, blend in your stab-mixer chopper bowl or food processor until finely ground.
Preheat oven to 140°C. Line 2-3 large baking trays with non-stick baking paper. Use a 20cm plate or cake tin as a guide to mark out 4 circles.
Using an electric mixer, beat egg whites on high speed until soft peaks form, about 3-4 minutes. Add sugar 1 tablespoon at a time, beating well after each addition, until the mixture forms stiff, glossy peaks. Fold ground toasted almonds into meringue mixture.
Spoon ¼ of the meringue mixture onto each circle on the baking paper. Spread evenly to cover entire circle. Bake for 1 hour or until golden. After 30 minutes, check to see that the meringues are cooking evenly and swap them around if needed.
Cool meringues on wire rack for 10 minutes, then loosen with a spatula and transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
To prepare chocolate filling, place chocolate pieces and cream in a microwave safe bowl. Heat on medium for 1 minute, stir and then heat for another minute or until melted. Stir until smooth and refrigerate for 30 minutes until a spreading consistency. Reserve 5-6 strawberries and hull and halve the remainder.
To assemble cake, place one meringue on a serving plate, spread with 1/3 of the chocolate filling and 1/3 of the strawberries. Continue to make 2 more layers, finishing with a meringue layer.
Chill in the fridge for at least 4 hours to soften the layers. Just before serving dust the top with reserved strawberries and dust with icing sugar and. Serve with lots of thick cream. Wonderful.
- Don't be daunted by the long method, this is really quite simple to make. Everything can be prepared the day before: store meringues in an airtight container, chocolate filling and prepared strawberries in the fridge. Assemble in the morning to serve at lunch or in the afternoon for an evening dessert. Leftovers are highly coveted the next day.
- Would highly recommend separating the eggs in a small bowl one at a time before adding to the mixer bowl. A little bit of yolk in the mix won't hurt, but fishing out bits of egg shell and escapee yolk is much easier in a small bowl.

Q. How has the injury affected Jeff Driskel's preparation for the game? Muschamp: "With an older player you can get more done with film. Watching the film he understands where to take the ball and what he needs to do. We did work in the red zone with him a lot yesterday. It is a point of emphasis since training camp and that is what is a little frustrating. We have worked through those situations and hopefully have learned from them.
Q. What do you think of the offensive explosions around the league and what will it take for defenses to catch up?
Muschamp: "I look at the number of quarterbacks in our league. South Carolina, Georgia, A&M, Alabama, they have returning starters and guys that have played a lot of football. When I was in the Big-12, with the really prolific offenses, it was because of the quarterback position. I don't know if it is catching up as much. A lot of people are going to some high tempo offense, getting on the ball and taking more snaps and their defense is taking those snaps too. I think the style of play has created more snaps and the more snaps the more points you will see.
Q. How is Driskel a better quarterback than a year ago?
Muschamp: "He has more command of what we are doing on offense in year two of our scheme and system here. As much as anything the game has slowed down for him. He made a couple of forced throws in the last ballgame, but has made some really nice throws down the field and some really nice things as far as the run and pass game is concerned.
"His command, anticipation, and confidence of the guys around him. Not just what he needs to do but all 11 guys."
Q. How have the wide outs emerged this year?
Muschamp: "We had 19 receptions at the wide out position in the last game. Quinton Dunbar and Solomon Patton have done some nice things. Trey Burton has been really good in the slot. We use him in a lot of different ways. We have some young guys coming along that I am really excited about. I am pleased with the position."
Q. Are you preparing for different quarterbacks and different styles?
Muschamp: "We've really only seen Worley and Peterman on film. You have to prepare for what you've seen. Butch did an outstanding job at Cincinnati and had a similar style quarterback in terms of what they do in the run game. We will make adjustments on game day. That is what it comes down to."
Q. Can you talk about the play of Ronald Powell?
Muschamp: "He has been very productive for us. He's done a good job rushing the passer and playing in some run-down situations. As we continue to move forward I believe his confidence will continue to grow."
Q. Will you talk about the running back situation?
"Muschamp: "I think Matt Jones is a guy that continues to come on. He missed all of camp with an illness but is a very good football player. Mack Brown has done a really nice job as far as when he's had his opportunities. I am very, very excited about some young guys that are coming along. Kelvin Taylor is a young guy that we will continue to try and get involved in the offense. Mark Herndon is a walk-on that we put on scholarship and is a good football player.
"Hunter Joyer is a guy that can be in some one-back situations and is a very good fullback. We are pleased with the job that Gideon Ajagbe has done at the position as well."
Q. Is this defense as good as last year, or does it remain to be seen?
Muschamp: "We have a lot of football to play. We have done some nice things at times but we aren't as consistent as we need to be. We've given up too many big plays that we aren't used to around here. We need to continue to improve and the kids see that too. That is what is important… as long as they see what you're seeing and understand what it takes to be successful."
Q. I think you have to be pleased with the third down defense (right now giving up two first downs in 24 attempts)?
Muschamp: "We've done a nice job so far. We can cover well, we can mix man and zone, we can rush four guys. It isn't all about sacking the quarterback it is about affecting the quarterback, getting the quarterback off of the spot, getting the ball out of his hands.
"We've been able to do that with four guys rushing, which is good. People change against us because of pressure. They get in more timing situations as far as getting the ball out on time. That is just part of the deal."
Q. What is Joker Phillips impact on the receivers?
Muschamp: "It's just experience. He is a coordinator that has been a head coach. He has coached the position for 25 years and knows the ins and outs and understands what it takes to be successful. He has coached great players. He brings credibility in the meeting room. They understand that if they listen to him they will be better players. When you bring that credibility with where you've been and what you've accomplished certainly helps in this day and age.
"He is a good football coach and every good football coach I have been around is very demanding."
Q. Can you update on the freshmen and the ones you intend to redshirt right now?
Muschamp: "From the first two games,. We will continue to rep kelvin at running back. Ahmad Fulwood, Chris Thompson and Demarcus Robinson will continue to play at the receiver position. We don't anticipate unless there are more injuries on the offensive line, of any freshman helping us. Octavius Jackson is taking some reps in practice at left guard for any issue that may arise for our guys.
"Defensively, Jay-nard Bostwick continues to rep with us as a possible fifth inside player if we needed to go that route. Antonio Riles and Caleb Brantley are guys that have repped with us in practice, but have worked on scout teams as well. Jarrad Davis, Alex Anzalone, and Daniel McMillian continue to rep at linebacker and all three are playing special teams for us. Vernon Hargreaves is considered a starter for us at this time based on how he is playing, performing, and producing.
"Nick Washington had surgery Monday so he will get a medical (redshirt) this year. Keanu will continue to help on special teams. Marcell Harris is still having some issue with his knee from high school. He hasn't has progressed as quickly as we had hoped to. Johnny Townsend we will redshirt at the punter position."

Anyone feed their dogs raw chicken necks?
I am totally new to raw diet for dogs and I bought some raw/frozen chicken necks as a special treat for my Jack Russells. I have to admit I'm kind of scared to give it to them though because it's raw and b/c of the bones. Any thoughts or advice?
The woman at the store assured me that chicken necks are safe for dogs to eat but I'm scared because it's something I've never fed my dogs before.

A lot of people are afraid of chicken bones but they are only dangerous when cooked. I found a butcher who saves the backs and necks for me. I use my food processor to grind up carrots, coliflower, brockley, sweet potatoe and sometimes apples and I take it to the butcher and he grids the backs and necks and mixes it with the ground vegies and then he freezes it in flat boxes. When frozen he cuts it on his meat saw to the exact size I need for daily portions for my 2 paps. I just thaw out one cube every day. I have been feeding this way for 5 years now. The ground bone gives them the calcium that they need. Never be afraid to feed raw. A dog in the wild would kill a chicken and eat the meat, bone, skin, feathers and all.
I believe that this is a very healthy way to feed my Paps because I know exactly what is in there. Dogs run into trouble when they find cooked chicken bones in someones garbage because they splinter so badly.
Good luck with feading your dog raw meat.

My only concern with the chicken necks is that they are rather small, even for a small dog. It's generally considered best to feed cuts about as large as the dog's head. But I've fed chicken necks on numerous occasions.
RAW chicken bones are *not* brittle like cooked ones, and actually are softer than most bones. Plus, there is muscle and other things holding the bone in place, making it safer for a dog to eat. (Feeding bare bone is generally considered a bad idea.)
Just be safe and supervise.

Hugh: I?m quitting acting, againActor says he is crippled by stage fright
Monday, August 17, 2009
The actor has started suffering from panic attacks whenever he goes in front of the camera and is considering changing his career. He said: "In recent years I've had really bad attacks where I totally froze up. I thought, 'Well, if I am going to get stage fright, then I am packing it in.'" Hugh also revealed starring in comedies makes him "particularly nervous". This isn't the first time the 48-year-old British star has threatened to quit Hollywood.
After appearing in Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason in 2004, he claimed he was "semi-retired" - but went on to star in American Dreamz and Music and Lyrics. Hugh accepts people will be sceptical about his vow to quit acting, adding: "I realise how ridiculous that makes me look."MAKE SURE YOU'RE FOLLOWING OK.CO.UK ON TWITTER

Illinois Gov Pat Quinn signed legislation to enhance truck safety when using GPS. It makes truck routes more accessible by requiring local jurisdictions to provide truck route data to the Dept of Transportation, which then will post that information online. It also includes a provision to better educate drivers about the diffrences between truck and consumer GPS devices.

text: I shopped several and ultimately purchased the Fort Knox. I was very impressed with the simplicity and durability of the pistol safe. My main goals were: preventing a burglar from having quick access to deadly force, and giving myself quick access to my loaded weapons if necessary. This safe accomplishes both tasks. There's no way a casual burgler can defeat this pistol safe in a timely fashion.

Lärabar Bars
I'm no raw unprocessed vegan kosher health nut, but these things have the perfect taste and I admit it is sort of a comfort to see that the list of ingredients is 3-6 simple items (e.g., "dates, almonds, unweetened cherries")....more

esh's recommendation
After seeing others recommend Larabars, I decided to try them. Wow. I'm no raw unprocessed vegan kosher health nut, but these things have the perfect taste and I admit it is sort of a comfort to see that the list of ingredients is 3-6 simple items (e.g., "dates, almonds, unweetened cherries"). I love the "ginger snap" and "cherry pie" flavors and now I'm going to have to buy boxes of the others, too. I'm not going to withdraw my recommendation for Clif Bars, but I definitely prefer the Larabars.

ItWasInevitable's recommendation
I picked these up at CostCo on a whim - and I couldn't be happier. Ingredients for the apple pie bar: dates, almonds, apples, walnuts, raisins, cinnamon. That's it! These are amazing and oh so good for you!
Paul's recommendation
okay, i have been going through the flavours and i have finally found the one i like ...its cocoa mole! now, don't ask me what a cocoa mole is (i know, i know... its kind of a mexican chocolate sauce that u get on chicken), but i love the whole idea behind raw unprocessed food... now if they just get the protein content up.....
FitnessKitty's recommendation
*Update* Just found out that Larabars are 100% raw! I picked a few of these up at Trader Joes after reading about them here! And whoa!!!!!!!! you all are right. Best nutrition bar I have ever had. I am ordering a case. I am not kidding either.

JenniferGlysson's recommendation
I love the Lara bar because it is 100% all natural food.. It doesn't have any additives or preservatives, so i know when i need a healthy snack to pick me up, I can turn to a Lara Bar. The Cashew Cookie is my favorite because it tricks me into thinking I am actually eating something sweet.
My Collections:
sciencegeek's recommendation
I like eating one of these before I head out for my brush with insanity known as the evening commute. It keeps me fed enough until I get home. They are a bit strange in terms of texture - they are fruit, nuts and spices held together with dates. They are: natural, kosher, vegan, uncooked, and so on. I like them.

bradleyc1's recommendation
mmmm these are so good! can also find them @ earth fare
My Collections:
jooxi's recommendation
The perfect snack or energy booster. Lärabars are tasty, wholesome, and contain just a couple of ingredients (4-6) per bar. So much more natural. Also Kosher, gluten + dairy free and Vegan approved. I really like Chocolate Coconut. They're around 220 calories each, but if you eat them when appropriate these are a great way to get through the day. Real filling too.
meega7's recommendation
Larabars will always be my first recommendation for a variety of reasons. first they are kosher, vegan, wholefood, all natural, raw foods for the most part, great for your health and digestive tract, minimally processed, easy to carry, easy to chew, and incredibly delicious with a ton of flavors to suit anyone's palate. My faves are lemon, ginger snap, coconut chocolate,coconut, cherry pie, java mocha, and lime. Run to your nearest health store or naturals market for this one!
jennsboys23's recommendation
Lara Bars were first recommended to me by my nutritionist, who only recommends 100% organic. I am gluten-allergic, and all Lara Bars are gluten free. The lemon bars are really awesome, but my favorites are the Ginger Snap and the Coconut. Lara Bars are not made with high fructose anything, and nothing you can't pronounce. The ingredients are things like dates, figs, coconut, cocoa, ginger, cherries, bananas -- you get the picture. They are all chewy, sweet and satisfying!
TheTrendBoutique's recommendation
cheliz75's recommendation
I stick mainly to an organic vegan diet. LOVE the Larabar. Coconut Cream Pie is my favorite. I love that is only has natural ingredients like dates, walnuts, etc. Usually 3-5 ingredients in each bar. It's healthy, and you can't beat the taste!

This is the day the Lord....
I know, I know. I need to be rejoicing about the wonderful day the Lord has made, BUT....
Here's a rundown of my day (the long version, so get ready). MM had a soccer game at 9AM. I must be the only assistant coach in the history of soccer that knows absolutely nothing about the game. Well, maybe one thing: kick the white and black ball into your goal. Seriously. I am great at moral support and cheering the girls though and that counts for something, right? Our team practices from 9-9:30 and then we play the next 30 minutes. Ok, game over.
Then we rush home. Michael has to work in the soccer concession stand. We (MM, HJ, and I) have a birthday party 35 minutes away. I change MM's clothes including hair bow, change HJ's diaper and prepare her a sippy, and lastly change my grungy, sweaty soccer clothes (yes, I said sweaty. Please don't forget about the humidity here in my great state).
Run to the birthday party. It's outside at a playground....so you guessed it. I'm spending my time chasing HJ. We did all have a fabulous time visiting with precious friends. Spend 2 hours there. Rush home. HJ is majorly fussy. Her scheduled nap begins at 11:15 and we are way off base....by more than 2 hours. Yikes! She cries the majority of the way home. I turn up the Praise Baby music and for the most part tune it out.
Run inside. Put her back in her PJs which consists of a onesie. Why you ask? Because if she has the opportunity to remove her diaper, she will. Put her to bed.
Next I began our food for our College Football Festivity Saturday. Yes, we like to watch football and snack....lots and lots of snacking. Checked the pantry only to find zero tortilla chips. Not nary a morsel. I asked MM if she wanted to go to Wal-Mart and received a loud and proud, "Yes, ma'am." I figured she thought there was something in it for her and she was right. I promised her M&M's....much cheaper than a toy and works just the same.
Wal-mart on a Saturday afternoon? What was I thinking? I won't bore you with those details. I think you must get my drift.
Home again, home again. Completed the snacks. Gave the girls a bath. Oh? What's that? Where's my husband during all this? Why watching college football, of course!!!!
Prepared supper for the girls. They are both picky.
I then remembered that today was supposed to be my long run. Yes, friends, I am training for a half-marathon. It is in November and yes I am absolutely crazy!!! At least, I admit it. I hurried, changed clothes, gathered up my iPod, headphones, and my handy dandy Garmin watch (it's oh-so-wonderful, but that's an entirely other post). I have not been able to pass my regular 6 mile "long" run. I've been stuck at 6 miles for oh, at least 2 months. Stuck. Couldn't pass it. Finally last Sunday, I made it 6.4 miles. Seriously. It's been slow go, but I have been determined.
Off I go. I ran my normal route and then I got a little antsy. I went off on my merry way and later looked down to find that I was already at 7 miles. Well, I'll just run a little bit more, I tell myself. Hey, I felt good. Let's just keep going.....and going.....and going. I'm so excited to say that I did make it 11 miles running the ENTIRE TIME. Let me say that again, running the entire time. I made it home barely able to walk in the front door. My dear husband was finally putting the children to bed. I sat down (really because I didn't think my legs would hold me for another second). Nothing sounded better to me after this long, long day than to shower and go lie face down in my sweet, sweet bed....if only I could summon the energy. Ten short minutes later (I promise it was only 10), MM ran to the living room because apparently there was a catastrophe of epic proportions.
And really there was.
HJ had decided to crawl in my bed and enjoy a beverage. And by beverage, I mean an ENTIRE bottle of water most of which missed her mouth and was seeping through my precious, comfy comforter, to the soft sateen sheets, and, as luck would have it, down to the mattress cover.
Oh my sweet Harper Jane!!! Not tonight, sweet girl. Of all nights....
So I write to you now, as I am impatiently waiting for my sheets, blanket, comforter, and mattress cover to dry. Yes, my friends, that's four loads of clothes that had to be done.
I'm seriously contemplating sleeping on the couch!

Fashion Faux Pas
What is that, you say? Two posts in one week from me?? Well, I aim to please.
This morning was picture day at Mary Margaret's school. MM normally does not care what she wears---no opinion. That is, until this morning. I had this precious little smocked number all ready for her and she says "I don't think I want to wear that this morning. Our teacher says we need to wear something cute. That's not so cute."
Ok, so plans B, C, and D were also "not cute". We were standing at her closet and I'm began to worry about the time constraints we were about to face because of this clothing debacle. I uttered the dreaded words, "What do you think is "cute"?
She points to this adorable little seersucker outfit. I'm all, "MM, baby, you can't wear seersucker after Labor Day?"
She looks at me with those big eyes and said, "Mother, what is a seerpucker?"
Needless to say, I couldn't argue with "seerpucker" and she got her wish. I guess her very first school fall pictures will break the old-school rules of fashion. At least, she thinks she looks cute and that, my friends, is what matters!
P.S. On a much more serious note....I know today is 9/11 and I certainly am praying for those who lost loved ones that horrible day. I will never forget where I was. It was my very first year to teach. I had just dropped off my 4th graders at Art and that is when I heard the news. The rest of the day was spent "going through the motions". It was truly heartbreaking! Where were you?

Here are two little short MMisms:
One day last week, I was doing my best to get MM to try a new food. She looked up at me and said, "Well, if you exist!" I had to explain that exist was quite a different word that insist.
Also MM is going to be in "The Wizard of Oz". It is through our local community college. She is a munchkin and a flying monkey and is uber excited!!! I mean, it is all she talks about. Tuesday at practice she was given her script. On our way into practice today, she said, "Mother, do you have my scrib?" So here again we are learning some new vocabulary words!!!

I've been so consumed with real life. Blogging has definitely taken a "back seat"! Here's my not-so-Wordless-Wednesday!
This pretty much sums up life with my oh-so-dramatic Mary Margaret. Think: SUPERSTAR! Ha!

Our History: We are CADES
Parents with a Dream
In 1951, a small group of dedicated parents envisioned a place where their children with cerebral palsy could learn and be cared for in ways that would respect their limitations but also challenge their abilities. It was a time when special education was not common. Parents of children with special needs had to be resourceful in finding ways to help their child reach their potential. And so, with an initial enrollment of 25 children, the nonprofit United Cerebral Palsy (UCP) of Delaware County was born.
One of the founding members of UCP was George Crothers. Mr. Crothers was a well-known advocate for individuals with disabilities in southeastern Pennsylvania. In 1957, the George Crothers Memorial School was opened as a part of UCP. Focusing on the needs of preschool and school age children with cerebral palsy, the licensed special education school quickly began to fill an important need in the community. Over time, GCMS also began to serve the needs of children with brain damage and similar intellectual and physical disabilities.
Initially, UCP was located in Chester. It also had program space located in Ohev Shalom Synagogue in Wallingford, and in Boothwyn. In 1978, all programs were consolidated in a move to the Green Ridge Elementary School in Aston. Working through UCP, the Pennsylvania Elks began funding a Home Visiting Nurse Program in 1965. Though this program no longer exists in that form, it was the beginning of the organization's outreach social services. In 1966, the Transportation Program was begun, initially serving children attending the UCP day programs.
In 1976, UCP began to offer its summer program for children due to strong community support. And in 1977, recognizing the growing need for services for adults with cerebral palsy, brain damage, and similar disabilities, UCP expanded again. With the opening of its Adult Day Program, UCP was able to improve the lives of many older local individuals through its services.
UCP continued to grow, building on its reputation as a well-respected organization with the strength and expertise to successfully execute its mission. In 1978, UCP opened its first Residential Program home. In 1983, the organization moved to the Swarthmore Elementary School, with the help of numerous Rotary Club members. Again responding to community needs, it opened its first child care center which was located in the nearby Princeton Presbyterian Church.
Always evolving, UCP realized that its name didn't accurately reflect the community it served. Programs had expanded to include individuals of all ages, and with disabilities of many types. And so, in 2002, the organization formally changed its name to CADES, which stands for Children and Adult Disability and Educational Services. And in 2008, CADES finally located itself permanently, buying the Rutgers Avenue school building it had previously rented from the Wallingford-Swarthmore School District.
Working with local school districts, human services agencies, and the families of those with disabilities, CADES is now a vibrant, important resource in southeastern Pennsylvania. Through grants and the generosity of its donors, area foundations, and corporations, the five core CADES programs have grown to serve over 600 individuals each year. Now nestled in the quiet residential neighborhood of Swarthmore, Pennsylvania, the dream of several parents grew from a small seedling into a large tree, protecting and nurturing those among us who live with the daily challenges of disability.

Load the Combinatorica package:

define group multiplication:
mult[x_?PermutationQ, y_?PermutationQ] := Permute[x, y]
now the multiplication table for the symmetric group on 5 elements
is given by:
MultiplicationTable[SymmetricGroup[5], mult]
The entries in the table are integers form 1 to 5!, so that the
integer n stands for the n-th element in SymmetricGroup[5][n]. For
If yu prefer, you can make a multiplication table with the actual

MultiplicationTable[SymmetricGroup[5],mult] /. n_Integer :>
Make sure you use TraditionalForm for the output or else wrap

Believing everything you read can make real world problems
The China Post news staff Thursday, January 30, 2014, 12:25 am TWN
Did you hear that North Korea claimed to have landed a man on the sun? The story that the reclusive, Stalinist state sent a 17-year-old astronaut to the "far side" of the sun after a four hour journey, and that he would soon be landing back in North Korea, spread across the internet last Friday. Backed up with a screenshot of a North Korean state television announcer in front of a picture of a rocket lifting off, many websites in the English- and Chinese-speaking worlds spread the report.
It was, of course, ridiculous. Our sun doesn't have a surface to land on, and if it did the radiation and heat put out would incinerate any man-made object before it could even come close. It seemed like North Korea was just making up wild claims for propaganda purposes again.
But as it turns out the story of the story wasn't true, either. North Korea never claimed they had gone to the sun, on state TV or otherwise. A brief Google search reveals that no major news organizations carried the story, and websites that did carry it had no video or transcripts from the alleged announcement. Further online backtracking indicates that the story originated on a website that clearly states it is satire.
So why did people around the world believe it? It could be because North Korea is notorious for producing ridiculous stories. For people only familiar with North Korea through the occasional news story about their more outlandish antics, North Korea is already a satire of a country.
But our rush to believe is also related to the fact that it is human nature to believe things that confirm our prejudices. This can be relatively harmless, such as the case of the North Korea story, or it can reveal a deeper, more disturbing prejudice.
A story making the rounds in the United States concerns the "knockout game." Media outlets report that certain segments of the population are filming themselves hitting random people and then posting a video online. If the stories are to be believed, this is a serious problem. Opinion pieces are calling for legislation to punish perpetrators and decrying the fact that more isn't being done.
Just like the North Korea story, it isn't true. There is no "knockout game" epidemic sweeping the U.S. A closer look reveals that practically every incident reported as a potential example has not held up under further scrutiny, instead turning out to be just a mundane instance of the dozens of normal assaults that occur daily in the U.S. Also, the idea that people would film themselves committing a crime and then post that video on the Internet is a bit silly upon further thought.

IT organizations view the adoption of agile development methods as a way of bringing an "integrated team" approach to the product development lifecycle where everyone is focused on early, frequent demonstrated results. The second shared goal is service-oriented architecture (SOA). SOA is an approach to deliver integrated component-based ecosystems that are assembled to efficiently execute critical business processes. The goal of SOA is to be flexible and adaptive to the constantly changing business climate. These two productive approaches, when applied concurrently, are setting the stage for the next evolution in the deployment of technology to enhance business performance and results.
Agile Development Community Growing
The challenges that development teams face today are extremely complex. New techniques, emerging technologies, globally dispersed teams and tremendous pressure from the business units to create an environment where failure is not an option have made projects increasingly harder to complete. {sidebar id=1} Successful teams will need to master new approaches and techniques in order to remain competitive. Many companies are working within their organizations to implement agile development techniques. We have to re-train our organizations to work closer together to deliver quality solutions to the business as quickly as possible. Teams now must make critical decisions on a daily basis and adapt to the changing nature of the business processes.
Today's development teams are cross-organizational and capable of changing rapidly to meet the critical needs of the enterprise. Continuous integration and testing is a key success factor in agile development projects. Teams using agile methods such as Extreme Programming (XP), Scrum and others deploy work in short iterations to "grow" a system. The agile methods require the whole team to focus on quality throughout each iteration, which ensures the system is built on a sound foundation. Testing is no longer a phase in the development cycle that begins when development is "frozen." The system under development must be kept in a high-quality, working condition at all times. With software builds and integration taking place on an hourly basis, there is just no time to perform extensive manual tests. To accomplish this goal, the team must commit to automating as much of the testing process as possible. This testing must be done at various levels of the system underdevelopment. Relying solely on testing the GUI level can provide the team with a false sense of security.
Push To Integrate Through SOA
The enabling feature in today's corporate environment is integration. After years of building and buying systems to help the corporation remain competitive, the focus is now on improving how these systems work together to effectively support a myriad of business processes. SOA has emerged as the new language that both business and IT are using to address these challenges. For example, Jon Bachman offers a model for SOA success in February's Network World (see http://www.networkworld.com/news/tech/2006/021306-soa.html) and Ali Arsanjani describes a maturity model approach to SOA on the IBM developerWorks website (see http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/webservices/library/ws-soa-simm/). These models provide a framework for an incremental, value-driven approach to achieving a SOA where investments show ROI along each step towards maturity.
Agile Helps To Achieve SOA Maturity
Many of the projects using agile methods today are SOA-based projects. Agile methods provide the structure for teams to tackle these challenges by keeping them focused on short-term wins and ensuring the integration of IT with its business counterpart. By tackling the challenges in increments and delivering working functionality more frequently to the project stakeholders, the team begins to gain confidence as they see the solution emerge.
Producing working functionality in steps within complex integration projects may seem impossible. Automation is a

Carney says more rate cuts likely
By Louise Egan
TOKYO (Reuters) - Further interest rate cuts are likely needed in Canada despite reports showing the economy has been more resilient to the U.S. slowdown than expected, Bank of Canada Governor Mark Carney said on Saturday.
In his first news conference since becoming governor on February 1, Carney declined to take a stance on the preferred range for the value of the Canadian dollar but otherwise largely sang from the same song sheet as his predecessor, David Dodge.
"I'm comfortable with the statement that additional monetary stimulus is likely to be required in the near term," Carney told reporters after a Group of Seven meeting in Tokyo, referring to the bank's January 22 release.
"The timing and degree of that stimulus will be determined at future fixed announcement dates," he said, suggesting he may not have ruled out a bolder 50 basis-point cut. He said the decision would only be made after analyzing and making judgments about all data available at that time.
Dodge lowered the bank's overnight target rate by 25 basis points both in December and January and hinted at more to come as the specter of a U.S. recession looms and inflation is below target.
In a January 24 Reuters poll, most market players expected Carney's first move in his new job would be to slash 50 basis points off the bank's lending rate in March. But jaw-dropping job creation has since made aggressive easing seem less likely.
Carney, 42, said the upbeat January numbers for job creation and housing starts confirmed what the bank already knew -- that domestic demand is strong. "We don't adjust our outlook to individual data aspects."
Carney stayed away from the tricky foreign exchange issue when asked if he was worried that the interest rate differential between Canada and the United States would drive the Canadian dollar higher. For the first time since 2004, the U.S. benchmark rate is a full percentage point lower than in Canada. Continued...
