The secession crisis in the winter of 1860–1861 forced all Americans to make decisions about their nation's future. Central to American identity as a result of its role in founding the United States, Virginia played a critical role during that crisis. States in the lower South began seceding from the Union in December 1860, but Virginia, with the most diversified economy and the largest population of the slave states, remained part of the Union. In 1860, Virginia stretched from the Atlantic Ocean to the Ohio River and Virginians in different regions and of different backgrounds varied in their perceptions of the events of 1860 and 1861. Some Virginians worked to bring the two sections of the nation back together and avoid civil war, but others called for instant separation. Not until after the war had begun and President Abraham Lincoln had requested troops from Virginia to put down the rebellion did a majority of the state's adult white men approve secession. In the western part of the state, some Virginians never accepted secession and instead began a process that resulted in the creation of the new state of West Virginia.
Drawn primarily from the collections of the Library of Virginia, Union or Secession: Virginians Decide presents private letters, public debates, and other records that allow Virginians who experienced the crisis between the autumn of 1860 and the summer of 1861 to explain their thoughts, fears, and decisions in their own words. Union or Secession also contains the life stories of forty Virginians who experienced slavery, the sectional tensions of the 1850s, the secession crisis, and the split of their state into two. Follow the story through the narrative of Virginians Decide and explore the people and documents in chronological sequence, by geographic region, or by topic to learn how the crisis affected free and enslaved residents of Virginia and how they made their decisions.
Callie's Mailbag features a selection of about two dozen letters from the Library of Virginia's collection of Anthony Family Papers (1785–1952). We present these letters from the perspective of their recipient, a young woman of Campbell County who in 1860 had recently left school and who was in frequent correspondence with family and friends. We have imagined this well-informed young woman commenting on current events and sharing information through a social-networking site between December 1859 and July 1861.

Watch Commonwealth in Crisis: The Virginia Secession Debates. In recognition of the 150th anniversary of Virginia's secession from the United States, on 17 April 2011, historian William W. Freehling discussed the significance of the debates during the Virginia Convention of 1861. The event included a reenactment of speeches made as Virginia's leaders wrestled with the question of whether secession was wise, legal, necessary, or in Virginia's interest. This program was broadcasted live on WCVE Richmond PBS. Sponsored by the Community Idea Stations. Presented as a part of the Library of Virginia's public programs supporting its "Union or Secession: Virginians Decide" exhibition.
Our Civil War Research Guide has more information about the many collections at the Library of Virginia related to secession and the Civil War in Virginia. The Library of Virginia's Civil War 150 Legacy Project is scanning and digitizing privately-held Civil War-era letters, diaries, photographs, and other documents. Learn how you can share your manuscript materials through this innovative project sponsored by the Virginia Sesquicentennial of the American Civil War Commission.
The Library of Virginia presented two exhibitions from December 6, 2010 through October 29, 2011. In the Library's exhibition galleries, Union or Secession: Virginians Decide explored what Virginians thought and debated as the crisis unfolded. In the Visitors Center at the State Capitol, The Struggle to Decide: Virginia's Secession Crisis examined the actions taken by convention delegates and the governor that had a profound effect on Richmond and the Virginia State Capitol.

I have several OnCompose events that change the From to another account based on specific folders.
For some reason they don't seem to work anymore. The event is shown and I've made no changes. I've also tried to re-create but no effect.
I did have to reset my poco.ini recently after PM wouldn't start up. Could that have affected it?
Any suggestions?

First two ingredients are named meat products.
Insufficient meat product in food, use of wheat, controversial filler.
The first ingredient in the food is a named meat product, as is the second. Since the first is chicken inclusive of its water content (about 80%) and once that is removed it is likely that this ingredient would be more accurately placed somewhat further down the ingredient list (ingredients are listed in order of weight). Note that this is an example of the practice of splitting (see note on main page), but in this case serves to increase our level of confidence in the amount of meat product in the food.
Unfortunately, the third and fourth ingredients are also split both being rice. When these ingredients are added together, it is likely that they would exceed the combined total of chicken (inclusive of water content) and chicken meal (exclusive). The inclusion of a second meat meal ingredient ahead of the rice products would be required to give us reasonable confidence in the amount of meat product in the food.
Wheat flour and rice bran are both filler. The use of wheat is a significant negative however: wheat is believed to be the number one cause of allergy problems in dog food.
Beet pulp is filler and a controversial ingredient it is a by-product, being dried residue from sugar beets which has been cleaned and extracted in the process of manufacturing sugar. It is a controversial ingredient in dog food, claimed by some manufacturers to be a good source of fibre, and derided by others as an ingredient added to slow down the transition of rancid animal fats and causing stress to kidney and liver in the process. We note that beet pulp is an ingredient that commonly causes problems for dogs, including allergies and ear infections, and prefer not to see it used in dog food. There are less controversial products around if additional fibre is required.
We would prefer to see the use of whole eggs rather than dried egg product in the food.

"Small grass flowers growing beside the road, the caterpillar on the tree brunch… butterflies. All of these serve as inspiration to create my jewelry."
"I actually have a younger sister of sorts that must be mentioned. She is our cat, Matoom, the boss of the family. When my mother is cooking in the kitchen and we are also hungry, then Matoom cries out and she will get her food before we do. I cannot be patient for my envy.
"Before we moved to Chiang Mai, we lived in Petchabun in Central Thailand. Petchabun's symbol is a sweet tamarind because the province is filled with tamarind groves. My childhood was very simple but my dream was wonderful.
"My dream was different from those of other children my age. Most of them wanted to become a doctor, nurse, solder or policeman, but I wanted to be a person who creates buildings. Every time I had to write an essay, I wrote the same story. So my friends always thought I would like to be a construction laborer. However, I was never hurt or angry with them because being a laborer is very important in making the building a reality. I took the entrance exam to study architecture. I was very happy there and paid great attention to my studies. But this is a job which requires great patience, responsibility and carefulness. I thought it was not appropriate to me, so I decided to leave my dream.
"One of the luckiest happenings in my life was moving to live in Chiang Mai. There are lots of art and culture festivals, which provide many interesting handicrafts. I myself had a chance to attend some traditional events, for example, joining the march of the river goddess worship ceremony called Loy Kra Thong. I chose to bring decorations crafted from local materials to sell in the Lanna Inherit event. My materials were easy to find and cheap, for example, interesting wood scraps. I peeled the fresh bark neatly, polished the wood to sheen, and knotted it into a bracelet with hemp robe.
"That was the first step toward working with beads. Together with Kai Kitima, a Novica-featured artisan, I set up a workshop in 1997. I learned a lot from working with her over six years, and would like to take this opportunity to say thank you to her and her lovely family who gave me the great experience and took care of me very well.
"In 2003, I associated with another friend to open a small shop. We sold necklaces, bracelets, earrings and other small decorations. Most of them were made one-of-a-kind pieces. When they were sold, we would make a new design. My designs used a very wide range of materials – glass, stones, soil and gemstones. I matched everything together as sculptural works. I couldn't receive many orders because only the two of us crafted the designs and we were afraid that we might not be able to deliver them on time.
"Some people just bought my necklaces for their art collections, since my main designs were crafted from hundreds of tiny beads. Moreover, they were decorated with beautiful and very exquisite details, but they couldn't be worn. Sometimes, I'd take an entire week or two to finish a piece. I'd even forget to sleep!
"Recently, I let my parents rest at home and find a hobby, since I have enough income to take care of them. This was a very big decision in my life because I have to change my role as the beloved youngest daughter to that of the leader. It is a heavy decision for a woman like me. However, I'm enthusiastic about making other people happy and proud of me.
"I don't have the shop anymore because of economics and time management. However, I still love working with beads. So I send my designs to a friend's shop in Bangkok on consignment. I now have more free time, so I spend it simply traveling on foot. Some days, unconsciously, I walk many kilometers, very far from home. I walk slowly and survey the environment around me – even small grass flowers growing beside the road, the caterpillar on the tree branch. I have looked at them until they turn into butterflies. All of these serve as inspiration to create my jewelry."

Laurent Hours
Laurent Hours was born in Paris, where he currently works at the National School of Beaux Arts. His paintings feed on a peculiar atmosphere; he offers viewers snapshots of memory in dreamlike settings. He recounts stories with depictions comprised of natural elements, of the earth, water, stone and sun. He creates stories of towns which have vanished or perhaps never existed, of oceans and deserts splashed in ochre. His scenes are warm and strong, and settings in which his minute figures often attempt to claim it, like a string of froth clinging to the sand.
Laurent Hours works with varnish, he decided on such a unique medium because it allows him to produce works that evoke the feeling of ancient frescos and the sense of the passage of time. Hours finds inspiration in crumbling walls, ancient architecture, prevailing relics of ancient monuments. His application of archeological melancholy in his work reflects the state of the past. Over time, Hours has slowly given way to a simplified work, more poetical in its enigmatic images.
Hours combination of varnish and canvas produces backgrounds complete with numerous opposing layers of color mingled together creating a tangible sense of depth. Laurent Hours actively searches for deep and rich material to fill his canvases, similar to the patinas of years gone by. He then defines his oceans and deserts, constructs his towns, and then finally uses a light brush to draw in his mysterious figures.
Laurent Hours has had numerous solo and group exhibitions throughout Europe throughout the last 35 years. His work is featured in prominent public collections such as the Musée National d'Art Moderne in Paris, the Musée d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris, the Musée des Beaux-Arts in Bordeaux and the French Embassy in Nairobi. In addition to his presence in multiple public collections, Hours has received numerous awards and distinctions including the Prix Delmas de l'Institut de France in 2007 and the Grand Prix international d'Art Contemporain de Monte Carlo Prix de ICOM in 1980.

Revisiting Foreigner's Second Hit LP, 'Double Vision'
With their self-titled debut album in 1977, Foreigner immediately rose to the ranks of the biggest bands in rock, scoring a Top 20 LP that sold millions while spinning off multiple hit singles. But as quickly as they found success, they had to start worrying about whether they could maintain it with their next album.
Fortunately for the band, their second LP shrugged off the sophomore jinx. Released on June 20, 1978, 'Double Vision' increased Foreigner's early momentum, spawning three more hits ('Hot Blooded,' 'Blue Morning, Blue Day' and the title track) while going on to rack up sales in excess of seven million copies in the U.S. alone. By the end of the decade, they were firmly entrenched on pop and rock radio playlists, where they'd remain for the next 10 years.
Things could easily have gone the other way for the band, which -- as its tongue-in-cheek name implies -- was cobbled together from members of different continents and musical backgrounds. Initially a six-piece group, the original Foreigner lineup was split between North America and the U.K., with guitarist Mick Jones, multi-instrumentalist Ian McDonald and drummer Dennis Elliott raised in England, while singer Lou Gramm, keyboard player Al Greenwood and bassist Ed Gagliardi hailed from the U.S. Even though they came from different sides of the globe, the band members quickly forged a cohesive sound that proved all but impossible for radio programmers and rock fans to resist.
In fact, that cultural divide sometimes helped add to the songwriting mix. In the studio making 'Double Vision,' the band was stuck on one particular track until Gramm found some unexpected inspiration while watching a New York Rangers hockey game. After the goalie was helped off the ice following a nasty hit, Gramm later recalled, "[The announcer] said [John Davidson] was going to be all right, but that he had been experiencing some double vision. Voila! A siren went off in my head. Double vision. Perfect."
Watch Foreigner Perform 'Hot Blooded'
After writing some lyrics, Gramm said he "told Mick and the guys that I had solved our problem. They looked at me like I was crazy at first, but after I told them about double vision and began singing some of the lyrics, they were excited too -- so excited that we wound up making it the title track."
As Foreigner fans know, 'Double Vision''s title cut went on to become one of the band's signature songs, along with the album's lead-off track, 'Hot Blooded.' The LP was the second in a string of hit albums that lasted until 1987's 'Inside Information.' Over time, the original lineup fell apart, and Gramm departed during a relative peak in the group's popularity, opting to pursue a full-time solo career after scoring some hits on his own. He'd reunite with Foreigner in the '90s for a series of tours and some new recordings (including 1994's underrated 'Mr. Moonlight' album), only to leave again -- presumably for good -- in 2002.
These days, Jones tours with a completely revamped Foreigner lineup that includes new singer Kelly Hansen, who handled vocal duties for the band's 2009 album 'Can't Slow Down.' And while it appears that the creative team that gave us the band's greatest hits has probably written its last song together, you never know. Jones and Gramm recently performed together for the first time in more than a decade, and it's tempting to imagine that show reigniting enough of a spark for another album and tour.

This girl says the darndest things! Last night, as part of the Hunger Games: Catching Fire press tour, Jennifer Lawrence sat down with David Letterman to discuss, well, her bowel movements. Stay with us here. The ever-endearing starlet explained, "I thought I had an ulcer, but it turns out it was a fulcer!" Then she made this face:
She added, "You can only sh*t your pants so many times a day before you have to go to the emergency room." Then she mentioned the "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" and the Kardashians because why not. So on a scale of one to the best thing ever, J. Law always comes out on top.

Dfj India
Fund: Draper Fisher Jurvetson
Posted by beaupeep on 2007-10-26
We've met all the big name VCs in India. We got termsheets from a couple & closed on one.
I met Tim Draper a couple of years ago, and he was bright. But, DFJ India's Sateesh Andra is the biggest loser I've seen amongs tens of VCs I've met. I'm not sure how such a reputable firm made him a venture partner.
As the VC process is fairly new in India, and what with the booming economy, He's basking more in the attention that he garners as a partner with DFJ, and not on bringing good deals to the fund.

In high Ultrasone tradition, the Zino, is a stylish, somewhat gaudy headphone, but unlike most of the headphone manufacturer's line, it is aimed at the on-the-go market. This over-the-ear headphone features the company's patented S-Logic technology which directs sound to your outer ear before driving inward toward your ear canal, delivering a very large, open sound stage which simply smashes the competition for sheer width. Ultrasone are also famous for the inclusion of ULE (ultra low emissions) which shields your ear from magnetic energy.
If Ultrasone don't ring a bell, let me drop a hint: the Edition 7, 8, and 9 which are considered to be among the best headphones in the world, are the technological ground on which the Zino stands.

Carbon Offsetting
Carbon offsetting is a mechanism by which the impact of the emission of a ton of GHGs is neutralised through the implementation of an action elsewhere that will consume or reduce emissions by an equivalent ton of GHGs (learn more).
Benefits to Businesses
- Distinguish yourself from your competitors. Consumer awareness regarding GHG emissions continues to grow and the environmentally conscious customer differentiates between regular brands and brands that have reduced their carbon footprints.
- Improve productivity by driving down energy costs. Energy consumption is one of the largest sources of GHG emissions. Implementation of energy conservation projects reduces your carbon footprint and delivers cost reductions.
- Improve your corporate reputation and demonstrate social involvement in a global issue.
- Develop environmental GHG-friendly products and leverage market position to attract new customers that are seeking zero footprint alternatives.
- Improve employee moral, reduce turnover and improve employee performance.

Lawrence Boyd necesitaba un nuevo diseño de papelería y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 44 diseños de 11 diseñadores freelance.
Bioshape Solutions
BioShape Solutions is a medical device startup based in the Research Triangle Park, North Carolina. We're making a variety of simple and elegant medical devices that attach to medical implants like fracture plates and rods for spinal surgery. The "clips" (tradenames will be Orthoclip(TM) and Spineclip(TM) to start with) attach to the device and then allow for local delivery of a therapeutic agent like an antibiotic (to treat infection), an analgesic (for pain and inflammation) or a growth factor (to enhance healing). We're looking for branding that will balance a bit of playfulness and innovative thinking with solid medical and therapeutic benefits. The products are simple and elegant, yet innovative and powerful solutions to major clinical problems. The cards, stationary and Powerpoint template should balance these objectives.
As a start-up, our stationary and Powerpoint template really serves two audiences - one audience is our end customers, the orthopaedic surgeons and neurosurgeons that will be our initial users. Our other purpose is to convey novelty and innovation to the investment community and the public in general. It can be a challenge to bridge the need to stand out for innovation, creativity and novelty with the need for dependability, therapeutic benefit and scientific foundation. That's where you, esteemed designer, come in. We're sure you're up to the challenge and look forward to your proposals.
We've now completed our logo (thanks 99designs) now we need our support materials. We need 3 templates - 1. business card, 2. stationary and 3. Powerpoint template. They should be consistent with each other. Please use the key theme colors and incorporate elements of our design in a creative manner into the background elements. We've uploaded files for you to use.
The business card should contain logo and the following information - name and title (e.g., Lawrence M. Boyd, Ph.D.; Chief Technical Officer), Address (2 Davis Drive, P.O. Box 13169, Research Triangle Park, NC, 27709-3169), email (firstname.lastname@example.com), phone (919-354-1024, mobile 919-308-9443, Fax 919-287-2334) and website (http://www.bioshapesolutions.com).
The stationary (letterhead) should have the company logo, corporate address and web address. The Powerpoint template should include a format for a title slide (large central text) as well as an information slide (heading and text/figures).

The taste of this is great, however the "icing" is terrible! It is a sloppy runny mess. The cake tastes amazing, but next time I make this, I will make a lot less of the icing and with only half a cup of whipped cream.
May 20, 2013
This was the best cake I have ever made and ever tasted. There were 5 adults and not one piece was left. Everyone loved it.
Sep 4, 2012
I added crushed pineapple (drained) to the icing. My family loved it!!!!
Jun 24, 2012
Great recipe!!! Really tasty and such easy ingredients! Everyone was very impressed by this cake and there was definitely none left over! :)
Dec 21, 2011
I made this cake for my husband's birthday. Everyone's reaction was OMG! OMG! It is the ONLY cake I've ever made that was completely GONE at the end of the meal. We gave a piece to our neighbor and hedidn't even wait for a fork before he dug in. This cake is very light and flavorful. Very, very good. My daughter requested it for her birthday, too, so we'll be enjoying it again soon.
May 31, 2011
Very light and refreshing! My family LOVED it. Great for summer gatherings.
May 27, 2011
Can I use a white cake mix with this recipe?
Sep 22, 2010
I made this for a Labor Day gathering. It was BIG hit, with requests to make it again. I made it in a 9x13" cake pan, adjusting the baking time to a little less than what was on the box mix. I made and used the entire frosting recipe. It really was a delicious dessert!
Sep 2, 2010
This has become my all-time favorite cake recipe. Quick and easy to prepare--- and yes, I use frozen (unthawed) blueberries all the time. Simply the best!!
Jul 22, 2010
I'd love to try this recipe, but does anyone know how frozen blueberries would work in it? Should they be thawed or left frozen? Thanks

NEWPORT NEWS, Va., March 25 (UPI) -- Huntington Ingalls Industries said a U.S. Navy contract extension received is for engineering, planning and material procurement for the carrier CVN 79.
The vessel is the USS John F. Kennedy, a Gerald R. Ford class aircraft carrier which is in pre-construction phase.
The additional work by HII's shipbuilding division, Newport News Shipbuilding, includes manufacturing efforts and will continue until the end of October.
The extension announced by the U.S. Department of Defense is worth $407 million.
"This is a critical phase of construction on John F. Kennedy as key material procurement and production activities are taking place every day," said Mike Shawcross, NNS vice president, CVN 79 construction. "It is very important to get a good start on a ship of this magnitude and complexity and this contract extension allows for those activities to continue and keep the ship on a path for success in meeting our customer's goals."
A full construction contract for the carrier is expected to be awarded by the Navy this year.

Wireless Charger Refills Battery as Fast as Plugging In
A wireless charging system just achieved three times the rate and 90 percent the efficiency of regular plug-in systems. Continue reading →
Will electric passenger vehicles finally get untethered? It's looking more likely now. A wireless charging system at Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee just achieved three times the rate and 90 percent the efficiency of regular plug-in systems.
Top 10 Fastest Electric Vehicles
A team at the lab achieved the highest wireless charging rate for passenger vehicles to date. They charged a Toyota RAV4 equipped with an extra 10-kilowatt-hour battery using a special wireless 20-kilowatt system.
What started several years ago as a proof-of-concept experiment is now much closer to real deployment, according to a press release from the lab. "The technology is highly efficient," Omer Onar, a fellow in the lab's Electrical and Electronics Systems Research Division, says in a video highlighting the achievement.
If the "wireless" part of this powerful step freaks you out, you're not alone. To address concerns about safety, ORNL used focused and shielded high-frequency magnetic fields for the power transfer. Magnetic fields around the static system quickly dip to levels well below international limits, the lab's team lead Madhu Chinthavali said in the announcement.
Tasty Tech Eye Candy: Detroit Auto Show
Although plug-in charging for electric vehicles has improved in recent years, being able to recharge batteries wirelessly would be super convenient - especially for fleet vehicles. Electric buses could simply charge on the go through wireless systems set up along their routes.
Efficient wireless charging has been a goal for a while now. We've seen various approaches ranging from manhole covers to tech embedded in the roads themselves. And Qualcomm already proved that it can be done for race cars with their Halo technology.
Next, the Oak Ridge National Laboratory team wants to achieve 50-kilowatt wireless recharging, which would be on the same level as plug-in quick chargers currently on the market. They're also looking at the possibility of a more dynamic system. Check out their wireless setup here:
Call me naive but 10 years ago I imagined that most of us would be driving fully electric vehicles by now. While I do occasionally see charging stations around town, SUVs that run on gasoline still fill parking lots and roads.
Wireless Charger Powers Electric Car in Drive or Park
Technological limitations, safety concerns, and continuing fears about range have probably been holding us back. However, if recharging a fully electric vehicle becomes as easy, fast, and affordable as driving a hybrid, that gap could close right up. EVs have been stuck in the blind spot for long enough.
How fast can electric go? Pretty freaking fast. We're not just talking all-electric racing cars, either. Motorcycles, boats, remote-controlled cars and even bar stools push the limits. "Electric motors have the advantage of instant torque, which means that you don't have a clutch and you don't have transmission," said Joshua Allan, vehicle engineering manager for electric drive system maker AC Propulsion. "That kind of power can get addicting quick." The vehicles featured here are based on top speeds instead of acceleration. Race parameters vary, and no one official organization evaluates all electric vehicle types. In some drag races, contestants have a quarter mile to be the quickest. In landspeed racing, top speeds are calculated over longer distances. Since records are regularly being broken, all of these leaders could change faster than you can say, "recharge."
In the world of quarter-mile drag racing, Bill Dubé's KillaCycle was the world's fastest electric motorcycle for a time. Driver Scotty Pollacheck took it 174.05 miles per hour in 7.955 seconds at the Bandimere Speedway in 2008. A record-breaking run only takes a few cents of electricity, Dubé told Discovery News. Then in October 2010, rider Larry McBride broke the record by going 177 mph on the "Rocket," a custom-built electric drag racer. The following year McBride shattered his own record, reaching 185.46 mph at Virginia Sports Park. Outside the drag racing arena, racer Chip Yates set an unofficial record in April 2011 by going 190.6 mph in the Mojave Mile. At the time he said his bike hit 227 mph during stress testing. Håkansson and Dubé put the KillaCycle in the garage and began working on an electric sidecar motorcycle called the KillaJoule. The shiny red 19-foot asymmetrical motorcycle, which was primarily Håkansson's handiwork, sported an A123Systems lithium nano-phosphate battery and EVO Electric AFM-240 motor. In August 2014 she picked up a bunch of records at the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah, including the fastest speed in a streamlined three-wheeled electric motorcycle: 240.72 mph. She even beat out internal combustion-powered sidecar motorcycles. The racing duo has an eye on hitting 300 mph at the salt flats in the KillaJoule. "The computer shows the machine doing it so it probably will, but we don't know," Dubé said. "You can't brag about it until you've done it."
Limited battery space once made it hard for production electric motorcycles to approach highway speeds. Now that batteries are lighter and more compact, there are more choices. Zero Motorcycles' street legal Zero SR 2016 model can hit 102 mph, has a range up to 161 miles on the standard version, and cost about $14,400 after government incentives. The electric Empulse TT from Victory Motorcycles retailed for around $20,000 in 2016. Its fast-charging 10,400 watt-hour battery and AC electric motor with regenerative braking give the bike top speeds exceeding 100 mph. In late 2015, Yamaha indicated it was getting serious about electric motorcycles by unveiling the PES2 and PED2 concept bikes at the Tokyo Motor Show. Despite all the speed heading to the show room floor, the National Electric Drag Racing Association's longtime record holder in the production motorcycle category was a moped that went a mere 21.01 mph in June 2011. One reason for the low speed on the books is that a production motorcycle has set specs so the owner would have to tweak it to push the limits, voiding the warranty and insurance. An additional factor is limited selection within a reasonable price range, NEDRA PR and communications director Raymond Cooper noted. "
are better off buying a used bike from the scrap yard and starting there or, better still, building a custom bike from scratch," he said. "This gives the rider better flexibility in the setup and configuration."
In May 2011, the Formula 1 EV, an electric race car collaboration between French companies FCI and Formulec, hit speeds of over 155 miles an hour. Then in 2013 Nissan answered with the ZEOD RC, an arrow-shaped race car that hit 186 mph and qualified for the historic 24 Hours of Le Mans race – even though it only got in five laps before succumbing to a transmission issue. There are race cars, and then there's the Buckeye Bullet. In 2010, the electric vehicle built by Ohio State University's Center for Auto Research with an A123 Systems lithium-ion battery averaged 307.7 mph miles at the Bonneville Salt Flats. Its top speed then was 320 mph. "In order to get high speed, you need sleek aerodynamics so you're not holding the car back," said AC Propulsion's Joshua Allan. "You need high power so it can cut through the wind." That's just what Ohio State wants for the Venturi Buckeye Bullet 3, designed with the goal of breaking 400 mph when it debuted in 2012. The team hoped to try for that in 2015, but flooding at the salt flats threw a wrench into races. The VBB-3's average speed was 240.32 mph on a track so bumpy it punctured the vehicle's cooling tank. If the salt flats can manage stay dry in the future, the team has a decent shot.
The world record holders for electric production car in the speed category tend to be Teslas, no surprise. Although Tesla has several different versions of the Model S, the sport mode is programmable. First there was "insane mode." Then in July 2015, "ludicrous mode" arrived for the Model S P90D, allowing the car to go from 0 to 60 mph in 2.8 seconds. "The auto industry for years sold people on horsepower," NEDRA's Raymond Cooper said. "And yes horsepower is great but on a drag strip torque is king, which is why you saw the video of the 707-hp Dodge Hellcat get spanked by a Tesla." At the Palm Beach International Raceway in January 2016, Brooks Weisblat reached 118.58 mph in the quarter-mile in his Tesla Model S P90D that he named after the website he runs called DragTimes.com. He used ludicrous mode. "I guess they rolled it off the truck and took it right to the drag strip, violating his warranty the day he got it delivered," NEDRA president John Metric said. "He's the only one who keeps applying for the record." If other car owners were as cavalier, competition could heat up. French automaker Venturi came out with the world's first two-seated electric sports car called Fétish in 2006. According to the automaker, a model for 2011 could go 200 kilometers per hour -- about 124 mph. "I look at the way that the automotive industry is going," said AC Propulsion's Joshua Allen. "They're trying to make cars quieter, smoother, easier to drive, better efficiency. And just by nature, you get all of those things with an electric vehicle."
An old Datsun? Eight wheels? No roof? Why not! Conversion and prototype electric car enthusiasts are like Doc Brown from "Back to the Future" with a heavy dose of eco-geekery. New Zealand engineer -- and Tesla Motors co-founder -- Ian Wright once converted an Ariel Atom open wheel sports car into a racing roadster with an electric motor and inverter from AC Propulsion. His Wrightspeed X1 prototype had a top speed of 104 mph, but went 0 to 60 in 2.9 seconds and notably beat a Ferrari 360 Spider in 2006. Testing it out in 2009, Road and Track's Dennis Simanaitis called it "the second-quickest car I've ever driven in my life." Brothers Sam and Olly Young modified a 1965 VW Beetle to make the Black Current III. In spring 2011, their ride hit 132.22 mph in the United Kingdom, setting a new record for a non-rail drag car. In 2010, they got to 135 mph. Looking under the hood the following year, All Cars Electric's Nikki Gordon-Bloomfield reported that its custom lithium cobalt oxide battery pack was similar to those in model airplanes. Then, in 2015, their vehicle reached 151.55 mph at the Santapod Raceway, nabbing the Extreme Street NEDRA record. In 2004, a team from Keio University in Japan created an eight-wheeled prototype electric car. The Eliica, short for "electric lithium ion car," reached 250 mph on a test track in Italy. It also accelerated faster than a Porsche 911 Turbo. John Wayland's converted 1972 Datsun still clung to the record for the NEDRA's ProStreet Conversion category in 2016. Back in September 2010 at the NEDRA Nationals in Oregon, driver Tim Brehm pushed the car, called White Zombie, to 123.79 mph. The back window read "SUCK AMPS!" "John is a great guy, but his title is hanging by a thread," NEDRA's Raymond Cooper said. "It just takes one guy or gal with one car and the right setup and boom -- new record holder."
What's the difference between an electric bicycle and an electric motorcycle? That question has been debated intensely at the National Electric Drag Racing Association. NEDRA president John Metric said that a more fitting category title for this Top 10 might be "electric bicycle conversion," meaning bikes converted to run on electric. He added that it's not a NEDRA class and probably isn't safe. That hasn't stopped speed demons from trying, though. Conversion kits promise 20 to 30-plus mph speeds and some DIYers claimed they'd gone past 50. The one-off eCortina V2 hybrid bicycle designed by Roy Prince in 2011 resembled a durable mountain bike on the outside but packed lithium polymer batteries. While the bike could be pedaled, using the motor alone got it to 45 mph. The electric commuter bikes made by Colorado-based Optibike have an average top speed of 25 mph, depending on the model. The 48-volt lithium-ion battery in the 2016 Elite Series Optibike R11 gives that model a 40-mile range and top speed of 33 mph. Luke "LiveforPhysics" Workman, a battery specialist for Zero Motorcycles, and his electric Death Bike raced a Tesla Model S P85 in late 2014. NEDRA president John Metric remembers the cyclist bringing his hopped-up bike to the track. "He snuck onto one of our NEDRA events up in Washington
," Metric said. "They let him race." Commenters were quick to point out that it wasn't really a fair fight. In a YouTube video of the Death Bike shooting ahead of the Tesla, the guy behind the camera shouts to Workman as he rides by: "You smoked him!"
In the early 1990s, John Paramore was working for an electric utility in Washington State that decided to include electric boat racing to promote recreational areas they were building around a reservoir. Little did they know what they were starting. In those early days Paramore helped pull together enough battery-laden boats to run through a kilometer-long pass called a "kilo." The first modified vessels were weighed down with batteries and had what Paramore calls giant "Frankenstein" switches. "They'd slam the switch on and hold on for dear life," he said. The first runs were 9 to 12 mph, mostly because the racers thought they needed to maintain flat planing boat bottoms for speed. Then in 1994, one of their racers discovered that enough air could be trapped under a hydroplane to lift a battery pack off the surface. With batteries underneath instead of on top, Paramore and his fellow enthusiasts were going faster than the 50 mph record held by the British. In 2008, the UIM, the international governing body of power boating, recognized American Mike Bontoft's 98.8 mph run in a circuit electric battery-powered 144-volt hydroplane. Bontoft and racing partner Lohring Miller set the record at Devil's Lake in Oregon. Their boat had fiberglass, carbon fiber, honeycomb and A123 Systems batteries. During an early test run, the boat hit 101 mph. Bontoft's record was still holding on the UIM site in 2016, but electric boats continued to evolve. In 2013, Mercedes-AMG and the Cigarette Racing Team introduced a 38-foot racing hull they said was the world's fastest and most powerful electric boat. Equipped with two independent Mercedes powertrains from the automaker's SLS AMG electric production car, the Cigarette AMG Electric Drive boat could reach 100 mph -- well over 86 knots. With new battery tech, Paramore told Discovery News he thinks racers can compete all day without recharging. "All this stuff is out there," he said. "It just depends on how crazy you are."
Strip away the aerodynamic exteriors and you're mostly left with wheels. Electric people movers are the cousins to e-bikes, and can come across like the proud nerds of the EV family. Segways, the two wheeled self-balancing vehicles that debuted in 2001, are among them. The Segway PT has two settings, with the faster 12.5 mph being its standard. That's plenty of speed for tourists and mall cops, even though a world-class sprinter could easily lap one. Unless it actually crashes into the runner, like the Segway-riding cameraman who inadvertently took down sprinter Usain Bolt in 2015. Looking like a Dada-esque take on the Segway, the original Solowheel is a single wheel with spaces on either side for the rider's feet that retails around $1,500. The device is made by the company Inventist, has gyro sensors and a rechargeable lithium-ion battery pack that gives it 10 miles on a single charge with a top speed of 10 mph. The more powerful Xtreme Solowheel has a better range. When the hoverboard craze hit in 2015, the draw for these wheeled "rideables" definitely wasn't speed since many topped out in the 10-mph range. But one of the faster rideables was the ZBoard Pro electric skateboard, which could reach 20 mph on urethane wheels. For the even more daring, the Rockwheel electric unicycle boasted top speeds up to 26 mph. Unlike a circus-style unicycle, this $1,600 electric version contained a self-balancing gyroscope. Generally people movers aren't intended for racing. The best ones are safe, feel natural to ride, and are all about the journey.
If you want to know about racing battery-powered remote-controlled model cars, Nic Case is the man. In 2008, the builder put his small, bullet-shaped vehicle to the test on the Rockingham Dragway in North Carolina. His $4,000 custom-built car, a Schumacher Mi3, was constructed by hand from carbon fiber with an 11 horsepower motor, a 12-volt battery pack, a high-frequency receiver, and all-wheel drive. The pack was also rechargeable. Case's 1:10 scale car reached a top speed of 161.76 miles per hour on the dragway. Guinness certified it as the fastest battery-powered remote-controlled at the time. In 2012, he came out with a car dubbed the Bullet that went 171.96 mph in McFarland, California. To construct the Bullet, Case used off-the-shelf components from a Japanese company called Futaba, the site Inautonews reported. Then on October 25, 2014, Case went to the Radio Operated Scale Speed Association World Championships in Saint George, Utah. Not only did his Bullet smash the previous record, it broke the 200 mph barrier by reaching a top speed of 202.02 mph. The little car gave the impression of a jet roaring by.
Motorized bar stools were used as pit vehicles for a while, but the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah require them to be powered by electricity instead of gasoline for safety reasons. In 1998, a streamlined electric bar stool raced there for the first time there, going nearly 22 mph. Ten years later, Karen Mohr and her colleagues at the medical device engineering company IMDS made their own bar stool racer. Mohr was tapped to drive. "Some of the guys were terrified of trying it, but I really enjoyed it," she recalled. The vehicle had a 30-inch minimum seat height, was limited to one 12-volt battery, couldn't have a gearbox, and had to be made from a real bar stool. The top speed was recorded at three-tenths of a mile. Mohr set the record in 2009 at 53.557 mph, then broke it the next year, reaching 54.062 mph. Unofficially, the team got close to 58 miles per hour, but the record is an average of the top speeds. After that, bar stool racing at the Salt Flats sputtered out, likely in part because the strict parameters made it challenging to go much faster. In 2016, Karen Mohr Otto said the IMDS team had disbanded after she and the others moved onto other companies. But her 2010 top speed remained the record speed for that class. "It's definitely an unexpected accomplishment to have in life," she said.

"Hell Hath No Fury," the second episode in ABC's unholy mess "GCB," was even worse than the pilot. Despite the vain and meager PR attempts by its Jesus-touting stars, the show's true agenda of degrading Christianity, conservatives, and Texans shines as bright as the light of Heaven with a total of 72 attacks on the Christian faith in a mere two episodes.
"GCB's" sin-filled debut left audiences and advertisers questioning Disney-owned ABC's credibility. Because of the show's blatant assault on a particular audience, Kraft pulled its Philadelphia Cream Cheese ad from the programming faster than Kristen Chenoweth could don one of her hideous "Southern" costumes.
A company spokesperson for Kraft said, "We have received a few complaints from consumers and their opinions about our advertising are important to us. We have recently decided to redirect our advertising to other programs."
GOP presidential candidate Newt Gingrich called out ABC on their intended bigotry declaring the network would never run a show that openly mocked Islam and featured Muslim in "GCB's" place of Christian.
"GCB" seems to have conquered the impossible, and "Hell Hath No Fury" was filled with even more raunch than the pilot mocking Christianity a total of 42 times. The outlook doesn't look to improve either.
Scheming queen "B" Carlene (Chenoweth) continues to spitefully quote Scripture as justification for her sinful ways, while her husband proclaims her to be the epitome of a "Proverbs 31" woman.
This reference might be a coincidence or it could be a dig at the recently launched Proverbs 31 movement, a campaign started by a Christian man to encourage and support women as they strive to live for Christ instead of focusing on worldly values.
The show advanced its gay subplot even further when viewers found out that character Cricket Caruth is knowingly married to a gay man, and is acting as a cover for his un-Biblical lifestyle.
"GCB" knows no boundaries when it comes to sex, and exploits young women, with the majority of the episode focusing on the appearance and breast size of the characters' daughters.
ABC would have you believe that intelligent women of integrity do not exist in Texas since Amanda's daughter is hailed as "unattractively smart" by the other women's plastic daughters who are obsessed with buying "starter boobs".
The writers depict Southern women as broodmares and trophy wives, a notion affirmed by Carlene when she claims she does everything her husband says because she came from his rib, a vicious take on woman's creation in Genesis.
Later Carlene tells her friend Sharon the best way to control her husband is by giving him a "plentiful feast at home," and that her own husband, Rip, dines on an "all you can eat buffet."
There is a one ray of hope in all this darkness, "GCB's" crude Sunday premiere received poor ratings, proving that sex and immorality doesn't always sell.

I've been cosplaying since Otakon 2001. It's been a long time, but I still love the hobby. The friends I've made along the way are what make it all worth it. (It's corny, but true!) Thank you to everyone who's helped me squash my hair into a wig, apply face paint, make props (much love to the DH), and held my hand when the sewing machine died the night before a con and there were no pants! Thanks.

A Sandwich a Day: Pulled Chicken Sandwich at Fat Willy's
Reviews of Chicago sandwiches.
Is it distressing that the best thing about the pulled chicken sandwich ($8, small) at Fat Willy's Rib Shack has nothing to do with the meat in the middle? Sure, the chicken is fine, I suppose, even if it does lack any noticeable smoke flavor. The bread sure doesn't top the list, either. It's a little too indistinct to matter much, even if it does hold everything together.
Instead, what really saves this sandwich from being a total wash is the smoked jalapeño mayo, which brings both heat and creaminess to the picture. It is also genuinely smokey, helping to somewhat picking up the slack from the chicken. Still, it's hard to recommend this order when there are very good rib tips and hot links awaiting you.

Second, third and fourth ingredients are named meat products
Insufficient meat content, some mixed quality grain
The first ingredient in this food is a grain. Rice is a decent quality grain, but is still a grain which is not a natural foodstuff for a canine. Dog food products should be based on meat rather than grain.
The second ingredient is a named meat product. This is not in meal form. Fresh ingredients are inclusive of water content (about 80%). Once that is removed, as it must be to create a dehydrated product, the ingredient will weigh around 20% of its wet weight. Ingredients are listed in order of weight, and the dehydrated ingredient would probably be more accurately placed much further down the ingredient list. It is followed by two named meat meal ingredients, which gives us some confidence about the meat content of the food. However, we also have an indication that the amount of these ingredients is each less than 15% of the food (but not how much less than 20%). This confirms the above about the food being based on grain rather than meat, and users of this product might consider supplementing the diet with meat. We note that one of these is a fish meal ingredient, but find no sign of a guarantee on the manufacturer's site that they use only ethoxyquin-free protein sources in the product (ethoxyquin is a chemical preservative, commonly added to fish ingredients and which is banned or heavily regulated in human food production due to the belief that it is carcinogenic).
Corn oil is the major fat source in the food. Although a single source oil, not all agree that this is good quality. Corn is also commonly associated with food allergies in dogs. Rice gluten meal is "the dried residue from rice after the removal of the larger part of the starch and germ, and separation of the bran by the process employed in the wet milling manufacture of rice starch or syrup, or by enzymatic treatment of the endosperm". Although a grain fragment, and inferior to whole rice, this ingredient is better quality than the gluten meal from corn which is an ingredient we prefer not to see used. Overall, the grain content of the food is of mixed quality but excludes really low quality grains.
The food has added vitamins and minerals, but no information about these is given and it may contain synthetics.

SKF Solid Oil
The lubrication solution for demanding applications
For these and other applications where oil cannot be supplied directly, or where ordinary grease does not comply with application requirements, SKF Solid Oil bearings present an outstanding solution.
SKF Solid Oil bearings are bearings with the rolling elements and cage encapsulated in a polymer matrix saturated with lubricating oil. The polymer completely fills the internal space. Using the cage as a reinforcement element, the polymer rotates with the cage. As it does, oil is released, providing good lubrication for the rolling elements and raceways during operation.
SKF Solid Oil advantages:
- Keeps the oil in position
- Brings more oil to the bearing than grease
- Keeps contaminants out
- Enhances service live
- Is resistant to many chemicals
- Can withstand large "g" forces

Bit from Karl Malone's "Through My Eyes" — 6/6
Q: Was flopping as bad back when you played?
Karl: Well, it was, but let me just say this. Maybe you had one guy, ok, let me just throw him out there. Bill Laimbeer was worse than Vlade Divac, flopping. And newsflash: He don't like me, and I don't really give a rat–I don't like him…
I didn't like him, and he flopped so that was like insult to injury. But Vlade Divac, to me, he didn't have to flop. He was, and is, a hell of a talent. But Bill Laimbeer, he just look like he woke up and ate a bowl of dog crap everyday and he was just pissed off and "Imma flop." Now, he'll hit that 15-foot jumper now, I give him credit. But I would say Bill Laimbeer was worse than Vlade Divac flopping.
But now, everybody flop. You take a guy that's 6'10" and a little guy that's 5'10", 120 [lbs.], [the 6'10" guy] flop and fall. But here's the thing about it. Let's not just jump on the athlete for flopping. Who control the game? The referee.
But now let me tell you something. When Commissioner Stern, which he really don't say a whole lot, but when he say that flopping is a issue, two things. Number one, it's a problem. And number two, it's gonna get corrected. That's what Imma say. Don't get me wrong. Commissioner Stern and I have had our little battles. I still respect him, think the world of him as a commissioner. And let me tell you something: I can bet this. He will get that corrected. And it is a problem, and I think it take a lot from the game, and it's a great game.

Sneak Peek into the recently released book: Love, Trust & Pixie Dust.
Excerpt from Chapter 3: It Is What It Is.
"My life has been filled with many misfortunes, most of which never happened." ~ Mark Twain
Why Trust Is Important
Why Should We Trust Life?
Cliches become cliches mostly because they speak the truth. So whether you loathe or love the cliche It Is What It Is, there's a whole lot of truth in it. That said, why should we even bother trusting?
One of my dear friends decided to play Devil's Advocate one day, and sent me an email asking, "Why should we trust life?" I say Devil's Advocate because he wasn't asking the question expecting a response, but rather for me to consider how I'd respond to someone reading my blog or even to you sitting here now, holding this book and wondering, Yeah, why should I trust life?
There is a simple, one-word response to the question — and that word is: Peace. Being at peace in our everyday lives is the ultimate end goal and reason behind why we trust. Trust unlocks the door to peace. But there's more….
The Crux of the Matter: What IS Versus What IF
Peace is why we trust, yes, but there's more. First off, put yourself in the mindset of thinking of trusting life as a series of events. The series starts with the awareness/acceptance of What IS, which in many cases is the same as letting go. Essentially, What IS, is looking at a situation and NOT inserting layer upon layer of What IF: "What IF I lose my job? What IF he leaves me? What IF I get sick?" No, no, no. What IS means being grounded in seeing the truth, in not inventing the stuff that makes our heads spin out of control.
Think: whatever you are worrying about or holding on to (the What IF) and imagine yourself letting go of those What IFs and seeing What Truly IS.
Once you are aware and accept What IS, the enormous amount of energy you were giving to the worry — or the What IFs — now ends. It has no power over you. This is key, because before you are aware and accept What IS, your mind races with thoughts of worry and fear. Thoughts of What IF often lead to the invention of entirely fictitious situations (which I, and Mark Twain might add, hardly ever end up happening). These ungrounded thoughts are what take up so much unnecessary energy. They often lead to more worry, more fear. You become restless and irritable, you lose sleep. The snowball effect is in full force at this point. The "monkey-mind" is cranked up in high gear, jumping from one thought to another and another, not easily quieted. I think it's pretty safe to say we've all experienced monkey-mind to one degree or another.
Field of Pure Awareness
It is when we become aware, and accept What IS, that the monkey-mind quiets, and we can Be. Once we are in a state of Being, we are able to observe moment by moment, from the highest field of all, Pure Awareness.
Now, if it has all made sense up to this point, but I just lost you with the Pure Awareness comment, hang tight. I want to take it a step further and deeper. Once you're observing moment by moment, no longer in the worry-place and completely out of the monkey-mind chatter, whatever action you take will be in harmony with this field of Pure Awareness. Therefore, whatever action you take will be for the highest good for all. Remember the Sufi story of the warrior and his bride? (from Chapter 2)
By trusting life, we accept What IS, quieting the conflict in the monkey-mind and freeing us to observe and then act from Pure Awareness, which will be for the highest good of all. Operating for the highest good of all also takes us to the next level: Life is not just about us at an individual level, but as living beings we are all connected in a very intimate way. For that reason, operating for the highest good of all is something to strive for.
By trusting, we marry our free will with the Divine, knowing that we are taken care of. We are not alone in our worries or our struggles. We are never alone.
You are never alone.
I have attempted to explain in words what is a knowing within me. I encourage you to add to these concepts, question them, mold them and make them yours, changing the verbiage to suit your taste. In doing so, you will land on your Truth, something that resonates and works for you.
Take a moment to consider how you typically approach life. Which side of the cattle guard do you tend to hang out on? The What IF side or the What IS side? Depending where you are on the spectrum will immediately tell you what your beliefs are about how trust works. And by the way, this has nothing to do with religion. You may be the most religious person out there, attending every mass and service offered, yet between each mass, each service — maybe even during each one — you're worrying about all of the What IFs in your life. Becoming aware and accepting What IS is a spiritual belief and practice that anyone can adopt, regardless of religious beliefs.

Sweet potato quiche
Quiche is that one recipe that I love coming back to — it's easy to make, looks delicious and tastes heavenly :-) Plus, it allows me to come up with new fillings, which makes it very versatile!
Sweet potatoes are very smooth and creamy when boiled, then baked, and shallots add a crunchy texture. The combination of them is very mild and aromatic, so make sure you spice it up to your liking!
Easy: 6 steps, about 1 hour
