If you're like me you absolutely hate -- hate! -- the weak speaker performance of your iPhone, iPad, or Macbook Air, Edifier has made the Sound To Go Plus, a quality built auxiliary audio system that's as portable as your Apple devices.
The Sound To Go Plus portable audio system has a built-in lithium ion rechargeable battery that connects to you iOS device or Mac via a USB streaming cable or AUX input. It's very simple to use -- just plug it in, adjust the volume, and listen.
Annoyingly, the Sound To Go Plus speaker system is NOT bluetooth enabled which means you'll always have to have either the line input or USB input available to use it. In order to use it on you laptop, you need to go into your Mac System preference or your Windows Control Panel to enable the USB as the default output. The advantage of the USB cable is that it will charge the Sound To Go Plus as well.
Charging takes 3 to 5 hours so if you're planning to use the Sound To Go Plus with the AUX input instead of USB, you'll need to plan in advance. Also, it would have been nice to have some of indicator light or light color for when charging is complete.
The Sound To Go Plus' look and finish matches the aluminum finishes Apple products are known for, which is an excellent touch. However, the Sound To Go Plus isn't exactly light, so there's quite a bit to lug around with you. They do provide a carrying bag, however, and the quality and look certainly make it worth lugging.
As to the sound, it's also good but as is typical with these small speaker systems, distortion is heard at high volume.
The good
- Has that Apple look
- Better than built in iOS device or MacBook Air speakers
The bad
- No Bluetooth option
The conclusion
The Sound To Go Plus speaker system from Edifier is an inexpensive way to impress you're sexy lady Gangnam style. Give them a look.

Learn the secrets to preparing the best fried chicken.
I've learned you can create a holiday for just about everything. Today is no exception as it's National Fried Chicken Day! My current diet would not allow most things FRIED to enter my body, but when I heard the words "fried chicken" recently, my mouth began salivating as I remembered my first introductin to homemade fried chicken.
At age 14 I started working for The Castle Team Room in Lawrence. Owned by an elderly woman for more than 50 years, this institution was the cornerstone of my exposure to the restaurant industry. It was well respected by the community and served comfort foods in a historical limestone "castle" with rooms decorated in a variety of hand-carved woods. The 1860s victorian-style home continues to serve the community as a reception and conference location.
The Castle Tea Room owner, Libby, was notorius for her fried chicken. The secrets I learned from Libby include 1) using an iron skillet 2) keep the skillet half filled with melted shortening at all times 4) dredge the raw chicken in buttermilk followed by a generous coat of flour 4) make sure the oil is hot before placing each batch of chicken in the skillet, ensuring a crispy less greasy piece of chicken.
Pile the fried chicken high onto a large platter and serve it family style. Don't forget to include corn on the cob, creamy coleslaw, sliced garden tomatoes and mashed potatoes with gravy!

Grazia called Dolce & Gabbana's vision for Spring 2013 (shown yesterday in Milan) "Sicilian kitsch." What does that mean? Florals, stripes, folkloric prints, stripes, burlap sacks*, stripes, beading, stripes, raffia, stripes, polka dots, stripes, sheers and stripes. And did we mention stripes? Some of the ensembles were strangely dark, stiff and heavy for spring. But there were some filmy little rompers perfect for going on vacation to a sunny isle where no one cares that you're colorblind. Click through and judge for yourself!
*No, seriously. Derelicte, anyone?

Budleigh Salterton Croquet Championship success for Death once again
PUBLISHED: 10:48 12 June 2014 | UPDATED: 10:48 12 June 2014
James Death regained Budleigh men's croquet title after some superb play at the weekend, writes Elaine Marsh.
Death, who previously won in 2010 and 2012, beat Peter Trimmer who had also won the title back in 2003 and before that, when a member of the Budleigh Salterton Croquet Club (BSCC), he also lifted the club championship in 1995 and 1996.
Gabriel Higgins beat Jane Morrison in the women's championship to land the top honour for the third time.
Keith Aiton and Gabriel Higgins won the mixed doubles for the third time beating David Kibble and Louise Bradford.
The tournament attracts many of the top UK players whose standard of play is exceptionally high. This resulted in 54 per cent of the games played in the men's championship ending with the winner 'peeling' (ie pushing) his other ball through three, four, five or even six hoops and then hitting the peg, all in the same turn.
James Death is ranked sixth in the UK and 13th in the world. Peter Trimmer is ranked eighth in the UK and 18th in the world. Gabriel Higgins is ranked 27th in the UK and 58th in the world. The rankings includes both men and women.
The men's semi-final was a real battle resulting in James winning by three games to two over Mark Ormerod who first stated playing croquet at BSCC when he was aged 18.
The last turn of the last game of the final resulted in James Death demonstrating his exceptional skill by running eleven hoops with just two balls before hitting the peg for a well deserved win of the championship.
Local player Tony Bower had an 'interesting' tournament watching his various opponents completing four triple peels at his expense!
The highly competitive tournament was played on a very friendly basis and the players and BSCC look forward to another championship at the club in two years time.

"There were always ups & downs in freelancing...feast or famine. But there definitley was a slowdown when photography became more popular. It may have been a period when Walter concentrated more on 3-dimensional illustration." I had asked Naiad if the sudden decline in magazine illustration that occurred in the early 60's had impacted her and Walter's workload.
But the 60's ushered in a new era in illustration for which the Einsels were ideally positioned: the rise of decorative styles. As well, Walter had begun experimenting with 3-dimensional moving sculptures ( you can see a couple of them in the photo above ) and in doing so had created a unique and lucrative niche. Naiad described this period in an article she wrote for Northern Light magazine in 1970:
Last summer, when Walter was working day and night on a mechanical sculpture for a television commercial, I was working day and night on a campaign of full-page ads for him along with my own freelance assignments. Since we think so much alike and have such similar tastes, its easy to fill in for each other at any stage.
By this time in their careers, the Einsels had both truly "arrived". They had both done children's books, book jackets, album covers, TV commercials, TV titles, packaging designs, movie posters, and of course, countless magazine illustrations.
As well, they had appeared in Graphis and other design publications, received awards from the Art Directors Club, the Society of Illustrators, The Type Directors Club and AIGA.
Of the inevitable "famine" periods in the life of the freelancer, Naiad says, "We also sent out more self promotion pieces. We had a few agents over the years but we never felt comfortable with them. We always felt better dealing with AD's on our own."
Celebrating illustration, design, cartoon and comic art of the mid-20th century.

Fusion Capitalized on Must-Win Situation to Earn Finals Week Berth
A wild card team entering the Development Academy Playoffs, the North Carolina Fusion needed a win on the final day of the Academy Playoffs in order to clinch its first trip to Finals Week. The club did just that – recording a 1-0 victory against Crossfire Premier to claim a trip to Houston.
How they got to Finals Week: The Fusion got clutch goals when it needed them the most during the Academy Playoffs. The team earned a come-from-behind draw against FC DELCO, scored a game-winning goal in the 85th minute against Shattuck-Saint Mary's Soccer Academy to stay in contention and notched a 60th-minute game-winner against Crossfire Premier, which only needed a draw to win the group.
Finals Week and Academy Playoffs History: The North Carolina Fusion has made three straight trips to the Development Academy Playoffs but has never advanced out of the group stage until this season. The club's U-15/16 team has previously qualified for Finals Week, but this year marks the U-17/18 team's first trip to the final eight.
2011-12 Regular Season: The Fusion finished in fourth place in the Atlantic Division with a 9-4-1 record and a mark of 16-7-5 overall.

Despite finishing in fourth place, North Carolina's 36 goals were the most in the Atlantic Division.

Imperialism, state policy, practice, or advocacy of extending power and dominion, especially by direct territorial acquisition or by gaining political and economic control of other areas. Because it always involves the use of power, whether military force or some subtler form, imperialism has often been considered morally reprehensible, and the term is frequently employed in international propaganda to denounce and discredit an opponent's foreign policy.
This idea of empire as a unifying force was never again realized after the fall of Rome. The nations arising from the ashes of the Roman Empire in Europe, and in Asia on the common basis of Islamic civilization, pursued their individual imperialist policies. Imperialism became a divisive force among the peoples of the world.
Three periods in the modern era witnessed the creation of vast empires, primarily colonial. Between the 15th century and the middle of the 18th, England, France, the Netherlands, Portugal, and Spain built empires in the Americas, India, and the East Indies. For almost a century thereafter, relative calm in empire building reigned as the result of a strong reaction against imperialism. Then the decades between the middle of the 19th century and World War I were again characterized by intense imperialistic policies.
Russia, Italy, Germany, the United States, and Japan were added as newcomers among the imperialistic states, and indirect, especially financial, control became a preferred form of imperialism. For a decade after World War I the great expectations for a better world inspired by the League of Nations put the problem of imperialism once more in abeyance. Then Japan renewed its empire building with an attack in 1931 upon China, and under the leadership of the totalitarian states, Japan, Fascist Italy, Nazi Germany, and the Soviet Union, a new period of imperialism was inaugurated in the 1930s and '40s.
In their modern form, arguments about the causes and value of imperialism can be classified into four main groups. The first group contains economic arguments and often turns around the question of whether or not imperialism pays. Those who argue that it does point to the human and material resources and the outlets for goods, investment capital, and surplus population provided by an empire. Their opponents, among them Adam Smith, David Ricardo, and J.A. Hobson, often admit that imperialism may benefit a small, favoured group but never the nation as a whole. Marxist theoreticians interpret imperialism as a late stage of capitalism when the national capitalist economy has become monopolistic and is forced to conquer outlets for its overproduction and surplus capital in competition with other capitalist states. This is the view held, for instance, by Vladimir Lenin and N.I. Bukharin, to whom capitalism and imperialism are identical. The weakness in that view is that historical evidence does not support it and that it fails to explain precapitalist imperialism and communist imperialism.
A second group of arguments relates imperialism to the nature of human beings and human groups, such as the state. Such different personalities as Machiavelli, Sir Francis Bacon, Ludwig Gumplowicz, Adolf Hitler, and Benito Mussolini, reasoning on different grounds, nevertheless arrived at similar conclusions. Imperialism to them is part of the natural struggle for survival. Those endowed with superior qualities are destined to rule all others.
The third group of arguments has to do with strategy and security. Nations are urged, proponents of this viewpoint say, to obtain bases, strategic materials, buffer states, "natural" frontiers, control of communication lines for reasons of security, or to prevent other states from obtaining them. Those who deny the value of imperialism for these purposes point out that security is not achieved. Expansion of a state's control over territories and peoples beyond its borders is likely to lead to friction, hence insecurity, because the safety zones and spheres of influence of competing nations are bound to overlap sooner or later. Related to the security argument is the argument that nations are imperialistic in the search for power and prestige for their own sake.
The fourth group of arguments is based on moral grounds, sometimes with strong missionary implications. Imperialism is excused as the means of liberating peoples from tyrannical rule or of bringing them the blessings of a superior way of life. Imperialism results from a complex of causes in which in varying degrees economic pressures, human aggressiveness and greed, search for security, drive for power and prestige, nationalist emotions, humanitarianism, and many other factors are effective. This mixture of motivations makes it difficult to eliminate imperialism but also easy for states considering themselves potential victims to suspect it in policies not intended to be imperialistic. Some states of the Third World have accused the former colonial powers and other nations of neocolonialism. Their fear is that the granting of aid or the supply of skilled personnel for economic and technical development might be an imperialist guise.
Under international organizations, attempts have been made to satisfy by peaceful means the legitimate aspirations of nations and to contain their illegitimate ones. Among the measures for these purposes are collective security arrangements, the mandate and the trusteeship system for dependent areas, the stimulation of cultural relations between nations, aid to developing countries, and the improvement of health and welfare everywhere.

Maxxis Trepador Tire TestPosted in How To: Wheels Tires on May 1, 2011
We'll cut to the chase. If you're going to drive your truck on the street and trail, you'll want the 40-inch Maxxis Trepador Radials. If it's only a trail rig and gets there on a trailer, then the 40-inch bias-ply Trepadors are for you.
We reached this decision after taking the two tires over hills and mountains to see the difference, which is appropriate considering trepador translates to "climb or climber."
Maxxis offers a full range of tires for everything from daily drivers, mountain bikes, motorcycles, and trailers to commercial and light-duty trucks and of course serious off-roaders. During a recent lunch with some Maxxis reps we touched on the age-old debate: What's better, radial or bias-ply rubber? By the time we were ordering dessert we had devised a plan of sorts, a street and trail tread-fest to determine once and for all the winner. Of course the best laid plans have a way of getting lost in the mud. The next thing we knew we had two winners. As with many things, it just depends on what you're looking for.
Radial Maxxis Trepadors The 40x13.50R17LT Maxxis Trepador Radial weighs 1281/2 pounds on a 17-inch Walker Evans beadlock. At 30 psi we measured them at 391/2 inches tall. These tires have a tread depth of 5/8-inch across the entire tread, are rated to 3,195 pounds at 35 psi, and retail for approximately $500 each.
Bias-Ply maxxis trepadors The 40x13.50-17LT bias-ply Trepador Competition tires weigh a hefty 140 pounds on a 17-inch Walker Evans beadlock. At 30 psi we measured them at a true 40 inches tall. The tires have a 5/8-inch tread depth at the center of the tread, but at the transition to the sidewall the depth increases to a whopping 11/2 inches. The bias-ply tires are rated at 3,420 pounds at 45 psi and retail for approximately $700 each.

Parenting Fail
DH was curious about what I thought of it. After watching all 8 minutes and 23 seconds, my only reply was, "He's a jerk. No wonder his kid wrote all of that stuff about him."
That is apparently the opposite reaction that most people have had to the video. The majority of comments seem to egg him on and describe what he did as "tough love" and standing up to teenagers.
I don't get that reaction at all. From my perspective, it seems like an immature attempt at one-upmanship aimed at publicly humiliating his daughter for having normal, teenage feelings.
Think about what happened. A 15 year-old girl ranted about her parents and chores, not publicly, but privately to her friends.
What a shocker. Next thing you know she'll be talking about boys, and sex, and growing up and moving out, and how out-of-touch teachers are, and how boring church and school are, and how when she grows up she'll never be like so and so....etc. etc.
This is why parents should never go snooping through children's diaries/journals. You'll most likely find some unpleasant things written about you in there. That's what diaries and journals and stupid posts to your friends on facebook are for. If a person really wanted to humiliate and hurt you, they would say those things to your face, not in a private venue that you were never meant to see.
Sometimes, I think about how I thought about my parents growing up, especially during my teenage and young adult years. I always loved them because they were my parents, but I frequently did not like them and said things about them that I'm sure they would have found hurtful. I was always honest and direct with them when I was upset with them, specifically my mother. She always knew how I felt, even though I didn't purposely try to be hurtful in the way I expressed my frustration with her.
Still, I remember things I said, or thought, about her that were much more extreme than what I actually said to her in person because even though she upset me, I wouldn't purposely want to humiliate her.
I soberly consider that as I watch my children grow, knowing that at some point they might be writing snide facebook comments about me, or rolling their eyes to their friends while I am talking to them on the phone, or complaining about rules, standards, expectations that I have and how I "just don't get it".
And even though that will assuredly happen, just as surely as the sun will rise each morning, I will remember being a teenager and hopefully cut them some slack, even as I will probably be inwardly hurt.
That's is what being a mature, adult parent is about. Attempting to understand and communicate with your children, rather than trying to bully them with snide comments, sarcastic tones, and over-the-top punishments is probably more effective.
In general, I think that parents can be too hard on themselves, expecting more than is humanly possible, regretting every little mistake.
On the other hand, I see what this father has done, in a very self-satisfied manner, as one of those parenting mistakes that is going to have a very long life in this girl's memory, and not in a positive way. She's learned, not that she should never say anything bad about her parents, but that if she does something her father doesn't like, there will be retribution. That he will react on the basis of his own feelings of being hurt rather than on the basis of what would be good for a healthy relationship with his daughter.

Absolutely with you on this one. Jerk.
Daughter may also be a jerk. Apple, tree, and all that. But without evidence supporting that idea, I'm on her side here.

apple/tree....that was my initial thought too.

Tangentially related to your discussion of the coach misrepresenting his past, related to the Stolen Valor campaign.
I don't have much opinion on it, myself.

Another Record Cold Month?
To "warm up" this blog, lets start with the temperatures at Sea-Tac the last two weeks as well as the normal highs and lows:Only two days of the last 14 have reached the normal highs, and none have exceeded normal. Today we had a ridge (see upper level map for this afternoon) over us and the clouds finally dissipated during mid-afternoon
....very nice for a while. Here is an educational video of today's clouds. First we start with the low murk coming out of the south, then mid-afternoon it breaks and you can see the large wind shear in the vertical, with westerly winds aloft. Later in the afternoon, high clouds start pushing in aloft and if you look carefully you will see a 22 degree ice cloud halo around the setting sun.
But it won't last. A moderately strong front is bearing down on us and tomorrow will dawn cloudy with rain by midday. Here is the visible satellite image for this afternoon. Very nice front stretching from Vancouver Is. to the the southwest. A large field of low clouds off of California (very typical in spring). You can tell they are low because they don't push past the coastal mountains. Behind the front you can see the speckled instability clouds (open cellular convection in the biz) associated with cold air and a nice little low is spinning around in the Gulf of Alaska.
Now the depressing part.
You see the deep trough over the Gulf of Alaska in the upper level weather map above? Such troughs are associated with low -evel cold air. That trough is going to move south and the settle over the eastern Pacific for a long time. I mean a LONG time. Here are the forecasts for Friday afternoon and Monday morning:
Upper level troughing dominates the entire period! Let me put it diplomatically....this is NOT a warm pattern for us and it will produce highly anomalous cold and precipitation into central and northern CA.
Well, what do my friends in the National Weather Service have to say? Here is the 6 to 10 day temperature forecast probabilities. It is probable that whole West Coast will be colder than normal and northern CA and southern OR WAY colder than normal.
And precipitation for the same period? Do you have to ask?

Here's a warning though, mother nature will flip the switch. And since we are use to constant cool, any heat above climo will make us complain.
It got 76 today in Eastern, and it felt like 96.
We're don't get acclimated without our normal seasonal weather.

May temps will be below normal,but very unlikely to end up at record cold levels--1962 and 1955 will be very hard to beat.Sea-Tac has a decent chance of being colder this month than May 1999, though.
However, one record that may indeed fall is the one for the latest first occurance of a 70 degree maximum temperature.If I am not mistaken, the Sea-Tac record is May 16th 1967.( I hope that someone at the NWS can check the entire period of record back to 1891.)Assuming that there is not an unusual amount of warm air advection from this offshore low on Friday, this record should be easily broken.

The fact that you insist there are "climate change deniers" speaks volumes about your movement. Who denies that the climate is always changing? What people like me oppose is the idea that it's primarily human-driven change.

Nice site. Seeing it for the first time. I am not from the PNW, but have lived here for a few years now. These last two springs are driving a bunch of people I know nuts. We were sick pretty much the entire month of March. My wife is from No.Cal. and we moved up here from Orange County. I know people in the PNW like to bash CA, but at least you get a break from the weather there. Things are so bad here lately that a friend of mine and I (both Gulf Coast natives) are actually looking at buying a condo in No.Cal. to have the ability to escape this weather and restore our sanity. It's just like that. Best of luck to everyone trying to deal with it. Hopefully, you can get out of it sometime soon.

Looking out at the sun this morning, and patchy frost here in North Tacoma, I've realized the accuracy of forecasts over the last week or so approaches the futility of the Mariners batting average. Sunday's "rainy day" enabled me to get a 45 mile bike ride in. Monday and Tuesday's "sunny day" forecast caused me to bike in leg warmers and three layers (the sun finally appeared after 2pm on Tuesday). Yesterday's 65 and rain forecast actually instead produced several record low maxima temps established for the date, and today and tomorrow's forecast (as of yesterday) for 55 and rain, are seeing sun and I might even open my windows. I guess we have to expect exactly the reverse of whatever is being forecasted...

As the Guru of local weather here in the PNW, thank you for what you do. Can you make a post that shows us the all time records and how our current weather compare? I am under the impression that March of 2011 was the wettest March on record and that April was the coldest. How about May?

I hope you've taken advantage of the wonderful bounty of white peaches this summer.
If you haven't they are so good. To me, a white peach is far more "peachier" than a regular
orange/yellow peach.
They are so fragrant; a true smell of summer.
I love their smell so much that when I get a fresh batch of them, I place a few in a bowl, right next to my night stand so I can smell them while I sleep at night.
Try it, it's wonderful, the peach smell mixing with the summer winds blowing in through the window?
A summer memory you will never forget.
If you want a really flaky crust, work that dough as little as possible, just mix the dry ingredients
with the butter until just combined, wrap up in plastic wrap and let it rest at least five hours or
better yet overnight.
I like to roll it out while it's still in the plastic wrap until I have to unwrap it and finish up the edges.
Those edges are just like a crispy croissant. Heavenly!
If you don't have a 8 or 9 inch tart pan, I'm fairly certain this would make a perfect galette.
Just make sure your edges are nice and sealed, and you bake it on parchment paper on a
cookie sheet/pan.
Lastly, as soon as you get dough ready in pan, place in fridge again--always keep this dough cold!
Then I placed it back in fridge).

Heat: An Amateur's Adventures as Kitchen Slave, Line Cook, Pasta-Maker, and Apprentice to a Dante-Quoting Butcher in Tuscany by Bill Buford
DescriptionBill Buford—author of the highly acclaimed best-selling Among the Thugs—had long thought of himself as a reasonably comfortable cook when in 2002 he finally decided to answer a question that had nagged him every time he prepared a meal: What kind of cook could he be if he worked in a professional kitchen? When the opportunity arose to train in the kitchen of Mario Batali's three-star New York restaurant, Babbo, Buford grabbed it. Heat is the chronicle—sharp, funny, wonderfully exuberant—of his time spent as Batali's "slave" and of his far-flung apprenticeships with culinary masters in Italy.
In a fast-paced, candid narrative, Buford describes the frenetic experience of working in Babbo's kitchen: the trials and errors (and more errors), humiliations and hopes, disappointments and triumphs as he worked his way up the ladder from slave to cook. He talks about his relationships with his kitchen colleagues and with the larger-than-life, hard-living Batali, whose story he learns as their friendship grows through (and sometimes despite) kitchen encounters and after-work all-nighters.
Buford takes us to the restaurant in a remote Appennine village where Batali first apprenticed in Italy and where Buford learns the intricacies of handmade pasta . . . the hill town in Chianti where he is tutored in the art of butchery by Italy's most famous butcher, a man who insists that his meat is an expression of the Italian soul . . . to London, where he is instructed in the preparation of game by Marco Pierre White, one of England's most celebrated (or perhaps notorious) chefs. And throughout, we follow the thread of Buford's fascinating reflections on food as a bearer of culture, on the history and development of a few special dishes (Is the shape of tortellini really based on a woman's navel? And just what is a short rib?), and on the what and why of the foods we eat today.
Heat is a marvelous hybrid: a richly evocative memoir of Buford's kitchen adventure, the story of Batali's amazing rise to culinary (and extra-culinary) fame, a dazzling behind-the-scenes look at the workings of a famous restaurant, and an illuminating exploration of why food matters.
It is a book to delight in—and to savor.
Editorial ReviewBill Buford's funny and engaging book Heat offers readers a rare glimpse behind the scenes in Mario Batali's kitchen. Who better to review the book for Amazon.com, than Anthony Bourdain, the man who first introduced readers to the wide array of lusty and colorful characters in the restaurant business? We asked Anthony Bourdain to read Heat and give us his take. We loved it. So did he. Check out his review below. --Daphne Durham
Guest Reviewer: Anthony Bourdain
Anthony Bourdain is host of the Discovery Channel's No Reservations, executive chef at Les Halles in Manhattan, and author of the bestselling and groundbreaking Kitchen Confidential, Anthony Bourdain's Les Halles Cookbook, A Cook's Tour, Bone in the Throat, and many others. His latest book, The Nasty Bits will be released on May 16, 2006.
Heat is a remarkable work on a number of fronts--and for a number of reasons. First, watching the author, an untrained, inexperienced and middle-aged desk jockey slowly transform into not just a useful line cook--but an extraordinarily knowledgable one is pure pleasure. That he chooses to do so primarily in the notoriously difficult, cramped kitchens of New York's three star Babbo provides further sado-masochistic fun. Buford not only accurately and hilariously describes the painfully acquired techniques of the professional cook (and his own humiations), but chronicles as well the mental changes--the "kitchen awareness" and peculiar world view necessary to the kitchen dweller. By end of book, he's even talking like a line cook.
Secondly, the book is a long overdue portrait of the real Mario Batali and of the real Marco Pierre White--two complicated and brilliant chefs whose coverage in the press--while appropriately fawning--has never described them in their fully debauched, delightful glory. Buford has--for the first time--managed to explain White's peculiar--almost freakish brilliance--while humanizing a man known for terrorizing cooks, customers (and Batali). As for Mario--he is finally revealed for the Falstaffian, larger than life, mercurial, frighteningly intelligent chef/enterpreneur he really is. No small accomplishment. Other cooks, chefs, butchers, artisans and restaurant lifers are described with similar insight.
Thirdly, Heat reveals a dead-on understanding--rare among non-chef writers--of the pleasures of "making" food; the real human cost, the real requirements and the real adrenelin-rush-inducing pleasures of cranking out hundreds of high quality meals. One is left with a truly unique appreciation of not only what is truly good about food--but as importantly, who cooks--and why. I can't think of another book which takes such an unsparing, uncompromising and ultimately thrilling look at the quest for culinary excellence. Heat brims with fascinating observations on cooking, incredible characters, useful discourse and argument-ending arcania. I read my copy and immediately started reading it again. It's going right in between Orwell's Down and Out in Paris and London and Zola's The Belly of Paris on my bookshelf. --Anthony Bourdain

Hahaha! Now I don't feel so doofus-like for buying AC!I think I'm gonna regret selling that Sunfish I caught my first day, but it did make my first down payment on my house.
There is a sort of stigma that comes along with playing AC isn't there? I don't care! I love this game and I'm a 28 year old male. It's the perfect, relaxing Summer game IMO.
Did I mention that Chulip is Shenmueish as hell?

I have a question! I'm considering getting my son a 3DS for all the help he's giving me with my garden while I'm crutching around. Is the only difference between the regular and XL models the bigger screen? Do the games look stretched, or not as good? I'm just wondering if it's worth the extra $50.

Criminal Justice Drug Abuse Treatment Studies (CJ-DATS): Targeted Intervention Components (TIC) for Correctional Re-Entry Programs, 2002-2008 [United States] (ICPSR 27961)

Version V1
Summary View help for Summary
Targeted Intervention Components (TIC) for Correctional Re-Entry Programs is three-year study with the established guidelines and resources for an evidence-based library of targeted treatment intervention components for outpatient (e.g., crimes of moderate severity) re-entry correctional programs. It involves no-fee, user-friendly, and manual-guided techniques that can be integrated with programmatic assessments of client needs and progress. The TIC study, under Texas Christian University's (TCU) leadership, involved developing and testing a series of brief (4-session), flexible, evidence-based treatment interventions targeting specific offender problems. These interventions employed a user-friendly modular format that does not require extensive staff training, and the modules themselves are intended to serve either as stand-alone interventions or as components of a comprehensive treatment program. The initial modules are currently being developed and tested in prison-based treatment settings. A series of field trials test and validate each of these specialized therapeutic modules for use with community-based correctional populations. The TCU developed a treatment model which provided conceptual and scientific foundations for the use of targeted interventions that addressed discretely client problems. Study questionnaires assessed client responses that were related to such topics as: treatment readiness and motivation, anger and hostility, criminal thinking, risky behaviors for HIV/AIDS/Hepatitis C, communication, and other social skill deficits. The TCU's Criminal Justice Client Evaluation of Self and Treatment (CJ-CEST) was implemented as the core "needs and engagement" assessment instrument.

Study Purpose View help for Study Purpose
TIC's main objective was to establish a set of targeted interventions that addressed counseling needs in community re-entry treatment programs, met "evidence-based" standards of effectiveness for correctional populations, represent brief, flexible, and focused treatment tools, and could be readily adopted as user-friendly and manual-guided applications. The specific aims were to select and adapt appropriate evidence-based behavioral and cognitive treatment resources for use in applications by community/outpatient correctional programs (see the Appendix for an example of materials on "Dealing with Anger"). In addition, the study focused on the effectiveness of these targeted intervention components for improving short-term treatment engagement and performance indicators using randomized experimental designs with correctional re-entry treatment samples. Finally, client-level assessments of treatment needs and performance (building on results previous studies) were identified to help select and assess the use of appropriate intervention modules.
Study Design View help for Study Design
Procedurally, offenders between one and three months of release were presented information about the study and asked to voluntarily participate in the specific TIC intervention. Subjects must have enough time remaining in treatment to be able to complete the intervention and be within 90 days of release. Groups of participants were then randomly assigned to receive either the intervention or be part of a comparison group; in both cases, all participants were asked to complete the pre- and post-TIC assessments. Once the post-TIC assessments have been completed, the intervention was offered to the group of participants in the comparison group. Collaborating RCs and TCU participating facilities made every effort to randomize clients individually using a random numbers table; when assignment by individual was not possible, randomization occurred at the group level. Instructions on how to randomize and a copy of a random numbers table were provided to participating sites. Participation was completely voluntary and could be withdrawn at any time without penalty. Incentives were not offered (primarily because incentives are not allowed in many of the partner correctional systems).
Sample View help for Sample
Male and female respondents, 18 years or older, were recruited from various drug treatment programs for offenders in each of the correctional facilities, and assigned either by cohorts or individually to a study condition (TIC or Comparison). Respondents may have received a referral or mandate from a correctional authority (e.g., judge). Subjects must have enough time remaining in treatment to be able to complete the intervention and be within 90 days of release. Subjects were required to be able to read and sign an informed consent form to participate in the study. Participation was completely voluntary and can be withdrawn at any time without penalty.

There is currently no available "Beginner" label. The following is the default level label: Mt. Sugarloaf rises above the Connecticut River in the southeast corner of Deerfield (Massachusetts) town, near the towns of Sunderland and Whatley. It had long been appreciated for its remarkable view of the fertile valley below. The rise of tourism in the 1820s and the construction of overlooks on nearby Mt. Tom and Mt. Holyoke meant that Sugarloaf would eventually undergo the same modifications. In 1864, a mountain house, or hotel, was built on the summit by Dwight Jewett, the owner of the land. Over the next fifty years the hotel's fortunes waxed and waned. In the process, a number of features were built on the mountain, including a graded road, trails, and this overlook. Its name, "Table Rock," is reminiscent of Niagara Falls' most famous viewing point, a rock on the Canadian side that was widely celebrated until its collapse in the mid-1850s.

5.0 Mustang & Super FordsEvents
PRI Show 2012 - Final Lap
The Performance Racing Industry show wraps up its run in the Sunshine State
Our year of high-performance Mustangs winds down with the Performance Racing Industry trade show. While it's not the actual end of the year it's a symbolic punctuation on the year. It also presents a crystal ball into the future of hardcore performance gear for the coming year.
If you aren't familiar with the PRI Show, it is a yearly gathering of the racing industry where manufacturers, sanctioning bodies, marketers, and media come together to further the cause of racing. It serves as a place for racers and manufacturers to discuss new products, plan racing builds for the coming season, and even celebrate the year's victories.
Of course, for your friends at 5.0&SF it's a chance to look at the new gear and see what might be worthy of coverage on these pages in the future. We also pound the pavement to see what cool new hardware might interest you.
In all it's a good time, and one that we've enjoyed having in our back yard for the last several years. Next year the world of racing tradeshows will reunite in the heartland of racing—Indianapolis, Indiana. We look forward to a really strong show next year, but for now, check out what we spotted at the last PRI Show in Orlando, Florida.
Horse Sense: If you want to see the latest and greatest racing hardware in person, mark your calendars. The PRI Show returns to Indianapolis, Indiana, from December 12-14, 2013.
BBK Performance
The bolt-on heroes at BBK (www.bbkperformance.com) were on hand to share its latest wares, including its trick new strut mount for all '05-'13 Mustangs. We saw those at the SEMA show, and the Varitune mufflers met the world last year. The good news is the mufflers should be on the market by the time you read this.
When we think of Bilstein (www.bilsteinus.com), we think of handling, but that's not all the company is up to these days. The company is now ready to help your '87-'93 'Stang run quicker down the quarter-mile with its shock absorbers for drag racing. Bilstein says this shock's gas-pressure preload offers better launch control and quicker response times to deliver e.t. reductions of up to 0.3!
BMR Suspension
There isn't much about the S197 suspension that BMR (www.bmrsuspension.com) hasn't addressed, but there were a couple of new bits at the show, including the lightweight radiator support (PN RS003) and A-arm support brace (PN AAS001) for '05-'12 Mustangs. The former is a new version of an existing product that allows you to retain the factory sway bar.
Chris Alston Chassisworks
We know all about Chris Alston Chassisworks' (www.cachassisworks.com) rearends and suspensions, but a growing part of the company's lineup on display at the show was its Competition Drive Systems. This new version incorporates an accessory drive for both alternators, distributors, power steering pumps, and fuel pumps, like Aeromotive's (www.aeromotiveinc.com) vaunted belt-drive unit. CAC offers these gear-drive arrangements to spin one or two superchargers for those that really need huge boost and zero belt woes.
Dart Machinery (www.dartheads.com) featured various cylinder heads and short-block options for Ford fans. The company also had this intake to present a carbureted Dart option for Ford fans.
DIY Auto Tune
Long a popular tuning option for Fox and SN-95 Mustang owners, DIYAutoTune.com's MegaSquirt fuel-injection system lineup expanded with the new MegaSquirt PNP Gen 2. It works with '86-'95 Mustangs and offers a four-bar MAP sensor, an electronic boost controller, a two-step rev limiter, a knock sensor, a wideband interface, and much more.
To highlight its lineup of valvetrain gear for Coyote engines, Ferrea Racing Components (www.ferrea.com) lit up a cylinder with LEDs. The head in question was ported by Headgames Motorworks.
Flaming River
Flaming River For S197 racers, Flaming River (www.flamingriver.com) offers this manual steering rack for '05-'10 'Stangs (PN FR1515; $629). This bolt-in rack will help you shed 10-15 pounds.
A standout part at the show was this complete cooling solution for '11-'13 Mustang GTs and Bosses—the Boss 302R-Hx from Fluidyne (www.fluidyne.com). After a driving school kept putting its Boss 302s into limp-home mode, it contacted Fluidyne for a cooling solution—this product is the result. It combines a high-efficiency, triple-core radiator with a hearty air-to-oil cooler to keep all the fluid temps in line.
Ford Racing Performance Parts
Ford Racing Performance Parts We previewed Ford Racing's new Cobra Jet intake manifold and crate engine at the SEMA show, but there were plenty of new FRPP (www.fordracingparts.com) parts that we didn't get to in Vegas. Namely, a TVS tuner kit for Shelby GT500s, a '13 GT500-spec intercooler core, a Laguna Seca-style rear-seat-delete with X-brace for '11-'13 'Stangs, and a '13 GT500-style cooling fan for all '11-'13 Mustangs. (PVT needs one of these.)
Innovators West
To give your modular engine increased accessory-drive belt grip, Innovators West (www.innovatorswest.com) has a new kit complete with one of its SFI-spec crank dampers. You can opt for a standard-diameter damper or the popular 10-percent overdriven units.
Jet Hot
We've long known about Jet Hot's (www.jet-hot.com) silver high-temp coatings for exhausts and other engine parts, but the company's new line of premium colors looks like the way to take your project to the next level.
Kooks Headers
Installing aftermarket high-flow cats has long been a gray area for residents of strict-emissions statesKooks Headers (www.kookscustomheaders.com) tirelessly combed the aftermarket to find a high-flow cat that would pass emissions in all 50 states. Kudos to them, and good news if you live in one of those areas, as you can now run Kooks Green cats.
Manley Performance
For those pushing the envelope of modular engines, Manley (www.manleyperformance.com) showed off its Platinum Series pistons. Here are the 4.6 and 5.4 slugs, but Manley also offers these beauties for Coyotes and Raptor 6.2-liters. These pistons are made from a high-strength, lightweight 2618 alloy, and feature an offset wristpin for quiet operation.
McLeod Racing
McLeod Racing In Vegas we were smitten with McLeod Racing's (www.Mcleodracing.com) easier to install RXT twin-disc clutches for the latest GT500s. Well, the company offers RXTs and the streetier RSTs for most Fords, including the latest Coyote-powered 'Stangs.
Moroso/Weld Racing
Senior Tech Editor KJ Jones was born excited about cars, and it showed when he saw Weld Racing's (www.weldracing.com) black Alumastar 2.0s wearing Moroso's (www.moroso.com) new 17-inch DS-2 skinnies. The Alumastars are lightweight lookers for the 'strip, and the second-generation Drag Special tires are lightweight and feature a high crown for decreased rolling resistance.
Moser Engineering
Known for its stout 9-inch rearends, Moser Engineering (www.moserengineering.com) showed off a floating brake hub for Wilwood brakes. These setups completely divorce the braking system from the axles for maximum durability. The company also offered a complete rear suspension, including upper and lower control arms and an antiroll bar.
Nitrous Express
Even if you own a 662hp GT500, couldn't you use just a little bit more horsepower? If so, Nitrous Express (www.nitrousexpress.com) stepped up with a plate kit for '07-'13 GT500s. This bolt-on kit is ready to add 50 to 350 hp to your Shelby's already formidable output.
Optima Batteries
In the blur of the SEMA lights we had assumed Optima's (www.optimabatteries.com) new Digital 400 charger was mainly geared for the Powersports market. While it is comfortable there, it is a fully capable automotive battery charger, just like its larger, quicker-charging cousin.
Appropriately, Procharger (www.procharger.com) highlight its new F3A-121 supercharger, which boasts a maximum boost level of 40 psi with a 72,000-rpm impeller redline. This unit will move 2,100 cfm of air and turn an 800hp naturally aspirated race engine into a 2,100hp monster.
Racers know Racepak (www.racepak.com) for its datalogging and gauge expertise, but what fun is all that data without some video to accompany it? Now the company offers this new camera module interface, which lets you feed GoPro or Replay video footage into your datastream. How cool is that?
Roush Performance
Want to drop a 600hp Coyote into your project? Want one complete with a TVS supercharger? Well, the new 5.0-liter RSC Coyote crate engine from Roush Performance (www.roushperformance.com) offers that kind of package. Based on Ford Racing's Aluminator long-block, this turnkey solution is tuned for premium fuel and ready to go.
Roush Yates
The future of Ford performance is clearly in the hands of Ecoboost and Roush-Yates (www.roushyates.com) has a leg up, as it's been building up Ecoboost 3.5 V6s for Daytona Prototype racing. This example is designed to produce 500 hp from 10.5:1 compression with a 7,500-rpm redline. It runs dry-sump oiling and a low-inertia Borg-Warner EFR 6258 turbo.
SCT Performance
We hear there might have been some sort of SCT (www.sctflash.com) party at PRI, but we know for sure that the company displayed its latest flash tuner, the Livewire TS, in Orlando. This touchscreen device will store up to 10 tunes, offers a performance calculator, and displays OBD-II data in virtual gauges.
Strange Engineering
In addition to its new S197 shocks and struts, Strange Engineering (www.strangeengineering.net) presented its Pro Series brake systems. The company offers single- and four-piston front kits and four-piston rear kits. Battle tested by sportsman racers, these kits are designed to reduce weight, eliminate warping, and ramp up safety.
VMP Tuning
We are well versed in VMP Tuning's (www.vmptuning.com) lineup of products, but the company showed everyone its line of TVS superchargers for Condors, Coyotes, and RoadRunners. The company also display its own mass air housings, pulley-swap tools, and tuning offerings inside the convention center. Outside, VMP set up its mobile Dynojet (www.dynojet.com) so both companies could show the chassis dyno in action.
Wilwood Did someone say carbon? Yep—Wilwood did! The company (www.wilwood.com) now offers high-tech carbon-ceramic braking kits for S197 Mustangs. These kits allow you to drop unsprung weight, improve stopping distances, and shed heat faster. However, if you want all this goodness, expect to pay a premium price.
Winberg Crankshafts
Winberg Crankshafts On display in the Winberg (www.winbergcrankshafts.com) booth was a crankshaft for 4.6 and 5.4 modulars, but the company offers cranks for all manner of Fords from pushrod small-blocks to FEs. Made from aerospace-certified alloys, these billet cranks feature aerodynamically profiled counterweights. The company also had a shiny crank on display. We mistakenly thought this was just to attract showgoers. Instead it had been treated to the company's eight-step polishing process, which is said to increase oil shedding, decrease oil foaming, and reduce parasitic losses. It definitely looks impressive.

Courses, Workshop and Seminars
Albert Einstein College of Medicine
Herbert H. Lehman College
Hostos Community College
Albert Einstein College of Medicine1300 Morris Park Ave.Bronx N.Y. 10461 Email us
Partner Institutions-Lehman College and Hostos Community College. Our partner institutions closely reflect the citizenry of the Bronx, with ~80% Hispanic students. A major goal of the BETTR program with respect to development of educational expertise is to capitalize on and synergize with existing programs at partner institutions. This provides us with increased chances of success in the common long-term goal of increasing the numbers of underrepresented minorities in scientific careers at the level of the Ph.D.
Lehman College (CUNY) is located on a campus that was the first home of the United Nations' General Assembly in 1945 and became CUNY's four year liberal arts college in the Bronx in 1968. Lehman is one of the, if not the only, 4 year undergraduate STEM institutions in the Bronx, and is ranked among the nation's Top 100 colleges and universities for the number of minority students earning bachelor's or master's degrees in several different fields, including education, the health professions, accounting, social work, and computer science (http://diverseeducation.com/top100). A new Provost, Dr. Marabel-Sosa, is dedicated to STEM and undergraduate research. Lehman College has both an MS and a 5- year BA/MS program in biology, houses the Plant Science doctoral program and participates in all of the other biology subprograms for doctorates for the CUNY system, i.e., neuroscience, molecular and cellular development and ecology, evolution and behavior. More than 500 students are enrolled in the undergraduate biology program, with a total current enrollment of ~12,000 and an additional 11,000 in the adult degree programs. Last year's graduating class was > 1500 students. Students majoring in health and science disciplines have an 80% five-year graduation rate. The ethnic and racial composition of its 11,860 student enrollment (fall 2008) is 47.5% Hispanic, 28% African-American, 4.5% Asian, 16% white, and 4% all others; 9,569 are undergraduates (55% full-time) and 2,291 graduate students (10% full-time); most of the latter are adults working full-time in the Bronx. Lehman is federally-designated as a Minority- and Hispanic-Serving Institution by the U.S. Department of Education. Einstein and Lehman have a history of interactions since 1995 that have focused on the health professions. One such program was titled "Engaging Latino Communities for Education" (ENLACE), which included Lehman and Hostos Community College together with Einstein and other institutions in the Bronx. This program received support from the Kellogg Foundation and was designed to improve the K-16 educational corridor in the Bronx for Latino students. A major collaborative effort between Einstein, Lehman, other Bronx institutions and area hospitals and health centers has led to the establishment of a Masters degree program in public health centered at Lehman College. Since funding of the Hispanic Center of Excellence, Lehman recruited in 2010 Dr. Vernon Jeffrey to serve a Pre-Health/Pre-Med Advisor, who has single-handedly revitalized their Advising Office. Dr. Jeffrey participates in Einstein's Bronx Science and Health Opportunities Partnership (BxSHOP).
The entire Lehman science program will receive a major boost from the building of the new science center on the Lehman campus. The Science Center will host modern facilities and enable science faculty and students to upgrade their research and learning environments. Lehman College will host the first Bronx Science Fair, which is a feeder fair for Intel, and has just conducted its first summer program in science for high-school young women, i.e. "Achieving Success".
Hosto Community College (HCC) was established in 1968 in response to the demands of the Hispanic community and educational leaders. Hostos College began as a bi-lingual Spanish-English institution. Its founding constituted the first occasion in which a public, bilingual higher educational institution was deliberately sited in a neighborhood like the South Bronx, New York, one of the nation's poorest congressional districts. Hostos is a two-year, public, transitional bilingual institution, within the 16th Congressional District. The majority of Hostos students (64.8%) live in the Bronx, where the residents are largely poor Hispanics; only 38.4% have a high school diploma. Approximately 79.1% of the college student population belongs to underrepresented groups in sciences (56.9 % Hispanic, and 22.2% Black - Hostos Student Demographics Fall 2010 Data). HCC offers access to higher education leading to intellectual growth and socioeconomic mobility. In the spring of 2011 Hostos enrolled 6,978 students in 27 degree and certificate programs. Hostos has 169 full-time faculty, of whom ~49% are tenured. Thirteen full-time faculty are in the Natural Sciences Department; all thirteen have doctoral degrees, 8 are tenured and 5 are from underrepresented groups.
The Natural Sciences (NS) Department is our partner for the IRACDA program, and Dr. Nelson Nunez-Rodriguez is the Hostos Program Coordinator. The mission of Hostos's Natural Sciences Department is to provide high-quality educational programs in science, engineering, and forensic science, as well as support courses for the Associate in Liberal Arts and Sciences, Allied Health and Liberal Arts programs. The Department is organized in two units: Biology and Physical Sciences. The Biology Unit offers Biology courses for Science, Allied Health and Non-Science majors. The Physical Sciences Unit offers Chemistry for Science and Allied Health students, Physics for Science and Engineering majors and Environmental Sciences for non-science majors. The department offers the Associate in Science (A.S.) degree for those students who want to pursue their studies in the biomedical field. In 2010, 190 students were enrolled in the Associate in Sciences program (3% of the student body), of whom 140 were from underrepresented groups. In 2009-2010, 93 students graduated with a degree of Associate in Sciences/Liberal Arts and Sciences (Natural Science Department) (Associate in Sciences).
All three institutions are within easy transportation from each other. Individuals at Einstein with cars can drive to either school within > 20 minutes. Lehman has ample street parking available; and at Hostos, parking is available at the Gateway Mall Parking Center. In addition, public transportation links the three institutions, involving two buses from Einstein to either Hostos or Lehman. Of importance, also, is that Hostos and Lehman are both on the number 4 line of the subway, within ~25 minutes of each other. Hence, all three institutions are well-positioned for interactions.
