Hinkle Performance NASCAR Sourced Chevy Motor - Power To The People
How to build a brutal 736hp Chevy with cast-off NASCAR parts
From the July, 2012 issue of Popular Hot Rodding
By Steve Dulcich
Photography by Robert McGaffin
Displacing just 385 cubes, this Chevrolet engine combination from Hinkle Performance Engines produces a remarkable 736 hp. The secret is the SB2.2 cylinder heads and a host of surplus NASCAR parts stockpiled by Hinkle as race teams switched engine types.
Hinkle selected a GM Bow Tie...

Hinkle selected a GM Bow Tie block from his stack of former NASCAR goodies to use as the foundation for this build. The Bow Tie is a conventional small-block Chevy layout, but is much beefier than any production block.
While hot rodding was growing up in the Western United States, starting out on the dusty dry lakes in California and evolving onto quarter-mile dragstrips, a parallel hot rodding movement was growing up in the South, fueled initially by the practicalities of moonshine profits and developing onto the circle tracks of stock car racing. While there were similarities, the Southern boys were building engines and parts to go the distance, with endurance as much a part of the formula as explosive power. The round track racers were developing their own breed of performance parts. NASCAR today remains among the most popular of racing venues, with mega-teams putting vast resources into race car development. Engine programs have always been a big part of looking for the winning edge, and these competitors chew through high-end engine components like nobody's business.
Similarly, the pistons are...

Similarly, the pistons are NASCAR units, these being billet JE pieces. Buck picked up a pallet of surplus pistons at a local auction at a rock-bottom price. The lot included many sets of pistons that had never been run.
Needless to say, much of that NASCAR pro racing hardware eventually filters out of those secretive racing engine shops and into the secondhand market. With the state of the art constantly changing, yesterday's parts are of little use to these guys. In NASCAR country, the volume of parts going into those engine programs is essentially matched by the amount of stuff shoved out the back door to make way for the latest hardware. Buck Hinkle, who runs Hinkle Performance Engines with his son, Clark, may never have been involved with the shine-running roots of NASCAR's early days, but the man can build an engine, and he can drive. Of Buck's many racing accomplishments, he held the record at his local track, Illiana Motor Speedway in Crown Point, Indiana, in the 100-lap Tony Bettenhausen Memorial Race. Set back at the 1968 race, the record stood for an astonishing 40 years, with Hinkle running a big-block '64 Chevelle convertible on a '57 Chevy "Black Widow" chassis.
The Build

Another nod to low parasitic losses and light weight in the piston design is the inboard piston pin boss machined for a .750-inch diameter pin. Buck offset bushed the Carrillo rods to meet the small pin diameter and also dial-in the deck height for the piston/rod/stroke combination.
Hinkle is now a regular competitor at the AMSOIL Engine Masters challenge, fielding engines built in their shop in London, Kentucky. For the 2011 event, Hinkle Performance Engines looked to NASCAR hardware to field an entry in the new Xtreme Division of competition. Hinkle had accumulated a vast stock of ex-NASCAR components, and set out to build an SB2.2 Chevy combination based mainly on parts he had on hand. The build started with a GM Bow Tie block, which was required to meet the production base and internal oil pump requirements of the EMC rules. These are dedicated racing blocks, but faithfully follow the original small-block Chevrolet architecture, while the SB2 blocks are made for external dry-sump oiling systems and have an altered lifter bore position. The block was a used race piece, and as such was already beefed for endurance applications, with massive billet four-bolt splayed main caps in all five bearing locations.
The very robust billet-steel...

The very robust billet-steel splayed main caps were already fitted to the Bow Tie block. Buck Hinkle tells us that upgraded main caps were a routine installation for engines used by professional race teams.
The plan for filling the block centered upon coming up with a combination that would take advantage of some of the high-end NASCAR components Hinkle already had in stock at his shop. Among these were a set of Carrillo connecting rods, and a set of new, in-the-box JE billet pistons. The pistons were built for a small .750-inch piston pin, while the 6.2-inch rods were .866 inch at the small end. This gave Buck the opportunity to adjust the rod length slightly while bushing the rods by offsetting the location. Taking into account the desired crank stroke, the compression height of the pistons and the deck height of the block, the bushings were offset to a finished rod length of 6.175 inches. An Eagle forged crank completed the rotating assembly. To match the rods, the crank was cut down on the rod journals to the 1.88-inch Honda journal diameter of the connecting rods. The crank was finished with a stroke of 3.510 inches, which along with the 4.175-inch bore resulted in the final engine displacement of 385 ci.

We held our second in a series of advanced IT Analytics webinars where Ryan discussed and demonstrated how to easily access and manipulate performance data from Operations Manager resulting in the creation of compelling reports. The use-case in this webinar was specifically focused on System Center Virtualization and how to quickly pull data regarding hosts, guests, and other Virtual Machine Manager related information using Management Packs. With just a few clicks, Ryan was able to view virtual candidate, Hyper-V, and VMWare information on processor utilization and free disk space. Check out the recorded session by clicking here.
Hello Everyone,
We held a quick, 30 minute demonstration showcasing how to drag and drop Configuration Manager data into usable reports. The use cases Ryan chose to demonstrate were machine types, ie Dell, HP, and IBM as well as application consumption. The first challenge we walked through was getting a true count of the number of specific manufacturer machine types in your environment when there could be mulitple instances like Dell, Dell Inc, and Dell Computer Corporation stored in the Config Manager database.
The second piece of the demonstration focused on application types and how to monitor/meter usage and consumption of the applications accross your environment. Check out the recorded session by clicking here.

150 Women Who Shake the World
They're starting revolutions, opening schools, and fostering a brave new generation. From Detroit to Kabul, these women are making their voices heard.
When it comes to the Mommy Wars, the only thing that's more predictable than overwrought emotion and disingenuous indignation is the fact that everyone always misses the point: it's all about the money, honey.
Each time the subject of working mothers resurfaces, the discussion instantly focuses on the relative merits and demerits of women's personal choices, usually considered in comparison with each other so that one "side" in a bogus war can be pitted against the other "side." But whether the combatants are the politicians or the pundits or the seething, sniping mothers who feel undervalued and insulted whether they stay home or work for pay, nobody talks about the crucial economic issues underlying the whole ridiculous debate.
The manufactured controversy over Ann Romney's status as a stay-at-home mother of five followed the usual blueprint, abetted by the dizzying speed with which social media and a 24/7 news cycle now enable political antagonists to capitalize on the slightest misstep by anyone in front of a microphone. This time around, Republicans—already panicked at the damage they've done to their standing with women voters in a disastrous primary season that opened a yawning gender gap—gleefully seized on a snide remark by a CNN commentator to posture as the defenders of women while attacking Democrats as heartless aggressors.
The whole flap was fraudulent, of course; all parties immediately agreed that Hilary Rosen's crack that Ann Romney "never worked a day in her life" was bad and that mothers are good, whether they work for pay or not. Glad we got that settled.
But meanwhile, everyone ignored the real question, as usual. When it comes to the endless acrimony over stay-at-home motherhood, the issues with the power to wreck lives and cripple the nation's fiscal stability are financial, not personal or political.
When Rosen said that Ann Romney had "never worked," it was perfectly obvious that she was referring to the classic definition of work as something one does for pay: "the labor, task or duty that affords one his accustomed means of livelihood," as Webster's dictionary puts it. All mothers know that motherhood involves a lot of hard work, but let's stop pretending that that's the same as working for a living. It isn't. When you're a stay-at-home mom, somebody else is bringing home the paycheck.
Equally misleading was Mrs. Romney's retort that her "career" was being a mother. Again, Webster's defines "career" as "a field for or pursuit of a consecutive progressive achievement, especially in public, professional or business life," and also as "a profession for which one undergoes special training and which is undertaken as a permanent calling." Motherhood is many things, but as a matter of pure semantics, it's not a career. It's also not a "permanent calling," since kids grow up.
The point Rosen was trying to make—however awkwardly she made it—was about money: that Mrs. Romney, who has always been extremely privileged, has never shared the financial stresses of a single mother who's a waitress in Nevada. This is hardly a new observation; Mrs. Romney, the daughter of one rich man and the wife of another, has long been perceived as out of touch with the everyday demands of most people's lives. When her husband ran for the Senate in 1994, she gave an interview to The Boston Globe in which she came off as "wealthy and spoiled," according to a Wall Street Journal news story. Another news article, in the Boston Herald, quoted her remarks under the headline: "Daughter of Privilege Knows Little of the Real World."
In no way do such observations denigrate the herculean effort involved in raising five sons, nor do they minimize other challenges that Mrs. Romney has faced, which include multiple sclerosis. But as any working parent can attest, the responsibility of supporting a family is an enormous burden—one that, for anyone who isn't rich, leads to a lot of sleepless nights and anxiety-ridden days. When you're the major breadwinner of a household that includes children, you never escape from the worry and stress of that role.
All mothers know that motherhood involves a lot of hard work, but let's stop pretending that that's the same as working for a living.
Whether you're a father with a stay-at-home wife, a working mother with a partner, or a single mother on her own, the buck stops with you if you're providing the primary financial support for your family—and that responsibility is often terrifying. We all have our wide-awake-at-3-in-the-morning nights, and no doubt Mrs. Romney has endured her share. But her worries, however grave, have never included the ability to feed her kids or keep a roof over their heads—and those are problems that regularly torture countless American women.
For most of them, working for pay is a necessity, and staying home to raise their children is not an option, despite the constant blather about "choice." Whether or not we want to do so—and many of us do—the majority of us work because we have to, and our children depend on us to bring in a reliable income. No one who has never shouldered that responsibility can ever really know what it's like—how scary it is, how hard it is, and how lonely it can feel.
The self-appointed defenders of the American family love to exalt motherhood and extol the virtues of women who make the "sacrifice" of staying home with their children, as Peggy Noonan put it on Friday's Morning Joe.
It's long past time to acknowledge the heroic sacrifices of the working mothers who do everything that stay-at-home moms do, but who also provide the crucial financial contributions that enable their families to stay afloat, even when the dads drop dead, lose their jobs, run off with other women, or otherwise default on their parental obligations.
When it comes to motherhood, there's no shortage of heroism or sacrifice no matter which role you play. But for all too many families, if mom didn't bring home the bacon, there wouldn't be any food on the table.

I'm looking for a coach to help with my FR Zoom/Rush game. I used to be a solid 3bb/100 winner for about a year at NL400 rush FR before BF. After that I played some 6max in Ongame with pretty horrible results for a few months. Compared to Rush, normal cash games felt extremely boring and I somehow lost interest in the game completely. For the last 5 months I haven't played a single hand of poker.
But now that Pokerstars started the new Zoom cash games I decided to try it again and fell in love with it. I have played about 10k hands of NL100 Zoom FR but I feel like I have forgot some basic concepts and I feel like coaching would help with identifying the leaks that I developed in 6max games. So what I'm willing to do is to invest on a good coach rather than grind up from the small stakes again. I'm pretty sure I can get back to my normal level in a few months if I just get some coaching sessions to support the learning process.
I hope there's someone in here who could help me to shape up my game

Java runtime 1.6.0_32
GlassFish 3.1.2 (running on Windows 7 desktop)
GeoTools 2.7.5 and 8.0 RC2 (makes no difference to the problem)
I'm having a problem with a query which passes a STRUCT object generated by GeoTools into an Oracle spatial (near neighbour) query. Query execution is called as a Java prepared statement from a GlassFish application server. The query worked fine on a test database on Oracle 10Gr2, but transferring over to a new 11Gr2 test environment breaks the query and throws the following errors:

oracle.sql.STRUCT centroid, int xMetres, int yMetres ) throws IOException,
SQLException {
double radius = (double)Math.sqrt( (double)( xMetres * xMetres + yMetres * yMetres ) );
String query = "select a.loc_id, a.geom from loc_aux_geo a "
+ "join loc_aux_webs b on b.loc_id = a.loc_id "
+ "where sdo_nn( a.geom, ?, 'sdo_batch_size=0', 1 ) = 'TRUE' "
+ "and sdo_nn_distance(1) <= ? "
+ "and b.extant = 'Y' "
+ "and a.geom.Get_GType() != 1";
PreparedStatement stmt = con.prepareSelect(query, filter);
stmt.setObject( 1, centroid );
stmt.setDouble( 2, radius );
return stmt;
The first two parameters are passed to an in-house wrapper to a standard DB connection; there's no problem there. The passed-in STRUCT object "centroid" is actually a misnomer because it's a polygon geometry, not a point, although the code should generalise to points as well. "Centroid" is instantiated with an SRID of 8307. The tables look the same on both databases, and the spatial index has been rebuilt and looks clean. Has anyone got any idea why this should work with Oracle 10Gr2 and not 11Gr2? Could it be something to do with dimensionality (2D vs 3D)?

PCB for fine-pitch flip-chip | 18 April, 2012
Hello All. First time poster. I need to design a PCB which will include a Bumped-die type chip with 6mil (152.4 um) pad pitch. I read somewhere that FR4 type board may not be a good choice for such small footprint.I have not had to deal with boards requiring such small tolerances, so I would apprieciate your comments on manufacturing limitations of such board.
Thanks for any advice.

Eighty legislators tell Corbett no more state forest drilling leases
HARRISBURG, March 2 – Eighty state representatives today urged Gov. Tom Corbett not to lease any more state forestland above the Marcellus Shale for natural gas drilling because "all of the remaining unleased acreage is environmentally sensitive and drilling will have irreversible and harmful consequences."
The legislators signed a letter written by state Rep. Greg Vitali urging Corbett to reconsider his plans to lift a leasing moratorium that has been in place since late last year.
"About 725,000 of the 1.5 million acres of state forest above the Marcellus Shale play are already available to gas drillers, and that's too much," said Vitali, D-Delaware. "The remaining acreage includes old growth forests, high-value ecosystems and habitats for rare and endangered species."
The letter was sent less than a week before the governor's budget address. A recent news report said Corbett may propose leasing a large part of the remaining 800,000 acres of forestland above the Marcellus Shale, and allow legislators to reduce it to 50,000 or 100,000 acres.
"It is important that we approach the issue of leasing additional public lands from an environmental perspective, rather than a budgeting perspective," said state Rep. Mike Hanna, House Democratic Whip who represents portions of Clinton and Centre counties. "Even though expansion of the natural gas drilling industry could provide an economic boom to Pennsylvania, our state forests remain an irreplaceable natural resource, and the leasing of additional, environmentally-sensitive lands could have harmful and irreversible consequences."
"While we don't want Pennsylvania to be left behind in terms of the energy and jobs that natural gas drilling can provide, ravaging our state forests isn't the way to go," said state Rep. Eugene DePasquale, D-York. "Without the right balance, this will no doubt destroy our tourism industry in the long term, hurting many small businesses in rural Pennsylvania."
"The environmental degradation that gas drilling has already caused in Pennsylvania has gotten national attention in recent days," said state Rep. Tim Briggs, D-Montgomery. "To open up more forest land for drilling would be irresponsible stewardship of our public lands. The negative impact that these policies will have for our communities is great, and the impact on our state's image will be great. The nation is watching what we do here in Pennsylvania."
"It seems far more logical for the Commonwealth to generate revenue while protecting the environment through the drilling tax bill Representative Vitali has proposed than to destroy state forests with additional leases," said state Rep. Michael Gerber, D-Montgomery.
Pennsylvania is the only major natural gas producing state that does not have a drilling tax or fee.
The lawmakers in the letter reminded Corbett that drilling has a substantial impact on the quality of state forests. It requires millions of gallons of chemically-treated water, the clearing of land, construction of pipelines, water impoundments and access roads, and hundreds of truck trips.
Additional leases of state of state forest land would adversely impact hunters, fishers, environmentalists, hikers, campers, horseback riders, mountain bikers, and the 70,000 Pennsylvanians employed in the forest products industry, the lawmakers wrote.
"We have the responsibility to maintain the quality of the remaining 800,000 acres that lay above the Marcellus Shale region not only for us, but for future generations as well," the lawmakers wrote. "We urge you to protect this acreage by keeping it free of drilling and related development."
The letter was signed by one Republican, Kate Harper of Montgomery County.
Vitali plans to introduce legislation next week that would put a three-year moratorium on additional leases for natural gas drilling in state forests. A version of the bill passed the House with bipartisan support last year, but it stalled in the Senate. Former Gov. Ed Rendell eventually signed an executive order that put a moratorium in place.

Simon Cowell may not be satisfied just to finally bring "The X Factor" to the U.S. this week: He reportedly also plans a London stage adaptation of the show.
The Scottish newspaper the Daily Record reports that Cowell is teaming with British comedian Harry Hill and music producer Steve Brown to develop a comic musical based on the show, which premieres on Fox on Wednesday.
Also read: Fall TV Forecast: Fox's 'X Factor,' 'Terra Nova' Can't Live Up to Hype
"Simon doesn't want a super-serious musical," a source told the paper. "He thinks if this is going to be something that works, it needs to be funny and have songs people might sing along to, but also laugh along with.
"It would be a perfect night out for 'X Factor' fans, and former stars of the show could even be involved in it."
In other words, the musical would be one way to ensure Cowell's 'X Factor' winners find paying gigs, and continue to bring in cash for him, after their time on the show ends.
Versions of "The X Factor" air in more than two dozen countries around the world, and has selected more than four dozen winners in various locales since Cowell launched the show in the U.K. in 2004.

The Testament of Sherlock Holmes: The Critics Trailer!
Praise from the international press
October 17, 2012 - Players who already completed The Testament of Sherlock Holmes might recognize part of this surprising video, which has already made buzz among them: this is indeed the final video of the game, specially edited to detail praise for the game from international press.
There was no better opportunity for us to share with everyone this graphic trailer and epic original soundtrack accompanying it, which is unlike anything usually seen in a video game.
- Watch the video
The Testament of Sherlock Holmes is available now on Xbox 360®, PlayStation®3 and PC.
About the Testament of Sherlock Holmes
Sherlock Holmes causes a stir! For over ten years, millions of players have donned the hat and magnifying glass of the world's greatest detective, in a dozen games for PC and handheld systems. This year, Sherlock Holmes makes a triumphant return in his very first adventure specially designed for the PlayStation® 3 and Xbox 360® game consoles! All the mystery and intrigue will also be available on PC.
1898, London. All the evidence of police investigation points at Sherlock Holmes as the main suspect in a case involving theft, fraud and double-crossings. Unable to prove his own innocence, Holmes is rapidly losing London's trust as doubt spreads through the city like wildfire. Even Doctor Watson's faith in his friend begins to waver, as the famous detective flees Scotland Yard and raises further suspicion; prowling around at night, destruction of evidence... would Holmes go so far as to commit murder?
A mainstay genre of console games, The Testament of Sherlock Holmes is playable with a gamepad in a third person view, with controls thought and specially developed with consoles in mind. The new game engine was also specially built to display complex scenes and high-resolution textures. The game features lush, captivating environments and truly raises the bar for console adventure games.
The complex and decidedly-mature storyline surrounds a particularly tricky investigation, in which each and every puzzle will challenge both insight and wits! As Sherlock Holmes, you will use the detective's full repertoire: handle and inspect clues, reenact crimes and use the game's new deduction system to draw your own conclusions. Choose your questioning approach to catch characters off guard and gather valuable information. Players are facing an open investigation, and must decide which leads to follow and which to ignore.

On the August 13, 2012 edition of WWE Raw, WWE Divas Champion Layla and Kaitlyn (PROFILE & PICS) teamed up to face Eve Torres and Beth Phoenix…
Earlier on Raw, two of the competitors in tonight's Divas match were seen in backstage segments. First Kaitlyn was involved in a backstage segment with Raw GM AJ and JTG, and Eve Torres was later involved in a backstage segment with CM Punk…
WWE Divas – August 13, 2012 Raw Match: Tag-Team Match Layla and Kaitlyn vs. Eve Torres and Beth Phoenix
—WWE Divas Champion Layla and Kaitlyn made their way to the ring first for this WWE Divas Tag-Team match. Eve Torres and Beth Phoenix were out next for the match. During their entrances, the commentators plugged Kaitlyn versus Eve Torres for the August 17, 2012 episode of Smackdown. Layla and Beth Phoenix wrestled the beginning of this match, with Beth tagging in Eve who had temporary control of the match. Layla was able to gain control, and we saw some of her usual offense. Kaitlyn was tagged in, hitting a back-breaker on Eve, followed by some more offense. Eve was able to take control after pulling Kaitlyn from the top ropes. Phoenix was tagged in, leaving Kaitlyn in need of a tag. Despite Beth's dominance, Kailyn was able to pull off a roll-up for the win…
Winner(s): Layla and Kaitlyn at 4:18
Thoughts: This match was not without its flaws, but refreshing. It was great to see Kaitlyn, Beth Phoenix and Layla wrestling on Raw, after rarely being used in the past few months. It was great that the match went over 4 minutes. And even more refreshing, was that the purpose of the match, was to build Smackdown's Divas match; Eve Torres versus Kaitlyn. The winner of Smackdown's match, will become the assistant to the General Manager of Smackdown.
Finally, the WWE Divas Champion Layla got some TV time, even if it was a Tag-Match. Despite not exactly being on her game tonight, the WWE really needs to keep her relevant, or just have her drop the belt.
AJ on the other hand, was once again great in her role as General manager of Raw. Her backstage segment with Kaitlyn was a very nice touch, considering their history.
Awesome match for the Divas they are getting more time great too see they are getting booked better this is a big step forward for the Divas who have proved they are not completely dead with this match Anyone Watch Stars Earn Stripes with Eve it was on before Raw OMG Eve is back in her real personality a face yay Hope there is a divas match at Summerslam But Night Of Champions will be the end of Layla reign i am 100% sure
I was happy that the match got more time but poor Eve did not have a good night. Her selling was all over the place and I just wanted her to tag Beth in before she seriously hurt someone. But on the bright side Kaitlyn performed really well, especially since she hasn't wrestled on Raw before. And another bright side is how Layla worked the crowd. It's such a simple thing yet so many Divas don't do it. She got them into the match. Even if she's not getting as much TV time, I feel she's really handled the switch from heel to face pretty well. Too bad the reverse can't be said for Eve
Are you talking about the bubbly stuff? I wanted to punch myself lol, that was just sooo annoying to watch.
I could have done without the single ladies dance but I did appreciate her clapping to the crowd, saying "come on!" they actually did respond
Totally hate Layla's "bubbly stuff." Too cheesy for me.
As for Kaitlyn, (and women like Tamina for a matter of fact, who are still relatively green.), they don't have to do anything flashy. Their physical appearance gives them presence. Kaitlyn was understandably way too green during NXT, but right now, I do enjoy her in the ring, despite her short comings.
@bobbycalloway:disqus yeah very sad that Eve heel turn isn't going as well as it was but i want the face Eve back i loved Eve as Face come on i want that back Did U See Stars Earn Stripes with her on it that was awesome the personality i wish Eve had in WWE
@lethalwow:disqus Layla is still awesome and bubbly get the fan actually reacting to the Divas especially Layla very few Divas get the crowd reaction i think only Kelly,AJ and Layla get big reaction Eve used too get good heal reaction oh and i still need your email to talk about writing for LethalWow i can send you a message on youtube i see you have one
SPOILER Eve defeats Kaitlyn for the job as Assistant to Booker T
a really good match for the divas i thought..i think it's safe to give them a little leeway cause they're a little rusty…
yep the Divas are getting better

Manifesto reveals disturbing details about man accused of brutal attacks in Norway
OSLO, Norway — The man blamed for the terrorist attacks on Norway's government headquarters and an island retreat for young people that left at least 93 dead said he was motivated by a desire to bring about a revolution in Norwegian society, his lawyer said Sunday.
A manifesto he published online - which police are poring over and said was posted the day of the attack - ranted against Muslim immigration to Europe and vowed revenge on "indigenous Europeans," whom he accused of betraying their heritage. It added that they would be punished for their "treasonous acts."
The lawyer for the 32-year-old Norwegian suspect, Anders Behring Breivik, said Sunday that his client wrote the document alone. While police said they were investigating reports of a second assailant on the island, the lawyer said Breivik claims also claims no one helped him.
The treatise detailed plans to acquire firearms and explosives, and even appeared to describe a test explosion: "BOOM! The detonation was successful!!!" It ends with a note dated 12:51 p.m. on July 22: "I believe this will be my last entry."
That day, a bomb killed seven people in downtown Oslo and, hours later, a gunman opened fire on dozens of young people at a retreat on Utoya island. Police said Sunday that the death toll in the shooting rose to 86.
That brings the number of fatalities to 93, with more than 90 wounded. There are still people missing at both scenes. Police have not released the names of any of the victims.
Police said Sunday that a police officer had been hired to provide security on the island on his own time. It was not clear who hired him or if he was on the island at the time of the attacks.
Six hearses pulled up at the shore of the lake surrounding the island on Sunday, as rescuers on boats continued to search for bodies in the water. Body parts remain inside the Oslo building, which housed the prime minister's office. In a chilling allusion to the fact that the tragedy could have even been greater, police said Sunday that Breivik still had "a considerable amount" of ammunition for both his guns - a pistol and an automatic weapon - when he surrendered.
Police and his lawyer have said that Breivik confessed to the twin attacks, but denied criminal responsibility for a day that shook peaceful Norway to its core and was the deadliest ever in peacetime. Breivik has been charged with terrorism and will be arraigned on Monday.
Geir Lippestad, Breivik's lawyer, said his client has asked for an open court hearing "because he wants to explain himself." Continued...
Police Chief Sveinung Sponheim said a forensics expert from Interpol would join the investigation on Sunday.
European security officials said Sunday they were aware of increased Internet chatter from individuals claiming they belonged to the Knights Templar group that Breivik refers to in the manifesto. They said they were still investigating claims that Breivik, and other far-right individuals, attended a London meeting of the group in 2002. The two officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak about the investigation.
The officials would also not immediately confirm that they had been aware of Breivik as a potential threat.
As authorities pursued the suspect's motives, Oslo mourned the victims. Norway's King Harald V and his wife Queen Sonja and Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg crowded into Oslo Cathedral, where the pews were packed, and people spilled into the plaza outside the building. The area was strewn with flowers and candles, and people who could not fit in the grand church huddled under umbrellas in a drizzle.
The king and queen both wiped tears from their eyes during the service for "sorrow and hope."
Afterward, people sobbed and hugged one another in the streets, as many lingered over the memorial of flowers and candles. The royal couple and prime minister later visited the site of the bombing in Oslo.
More was coming to light Sunday about the man who police say confessed to a car bomb at government headquarters in Oslo and then, hours later, opening fire on young people at an island political retreat.
Both targets were linked to Norway's left-leaning Labor Party. Breivik's manifesto pillories the political correctness of liberals and warns that their work will end in the colonization of Europe by Muslims.
Such fears may derive, at least in part, from the fact that Norway has grown increasingly multicultural in recent years as the prosperous Nordic nation has opened its arms to thousands of conflict refugees from Pakistan, Iraq and Somalia. The Labor Party retreat - which Prime Minister Stoltenberg fondly remembered attending summer after summer himself - reflected the country's changing demographic as the children of immigrants get more involved in politics.
The assaults have rattled largely peaceful Norway, home to the Nobel Prize for Peace and where the average policeman patrolling in the streets doesn't carry a firearm. Norwegians pride themselves on the openness of their society and cherish the idea of free expression. Continued...
"He wanted a change in society and, from his perspective, he needed to force through a revolution," Lippestad, the lawyer, told public broadcaster NRK. "He wished to attack society and the structure of society."
Lippestad said Breivik spent years writing the 1,500-page manifesto entitled, "2083 - A European Declaration of Independence." It was signed "Andrew Berwick." The date was referred to later in the document as the year that coups d'etat would engulf Europe and overthrow the elite he maligns.
Sponheim, the police chief, said there was no indication whether Breivik had selected his targets or fired randomly on the island. The manifesto vowed revenge on those it accused of betraying Europe.
"We, the free indigenous peoples of Europe, hereby declare a pre-emptive war on all cultural Marxist/multiculturalist elites of Western Europe. ... We know who you are, where you live and we are coming for you," the document said. "We are in the process of flagging every single multculturalist traitor in Western Europe. You will be punished for your treasonous acts against Europe and Europeans."
The use of an anglicized pseudonym could be explained by a passage in the manifesto describing the founding, in April 2002 in London, of a group he calls a new Knights Templar. The Knights Templar was a medieval order created to protect Christian pilgrims in the Holy Land after the First Crusade.
A 12-minute video clip posted on YouTube with the same title as the manifesto featured symbolic imagery of the Knights Templar and crusader kings as well as slides suggesting Europe is being overrun by Muslims. Police could not confirm that Breivik had posted the video, which also featured photographs of him dressed in a formal military uniform and in a wet suit pointing an assault rifle.
The video was a series of slides that accused the left in Europe of allowing Muslims to overrun the continent: One image showed the BBC's logo with the "C" changed into an Islamic crescent. Another referenced the former Soviet Union, declaring that the end result of the left's actions would be an "EUSSR."
In London, the leader of Ramadhan Foundation, one of Britain's largest Muslim groups, said mosques are being extra vigilant in the wake of the attacks. Mohammed Shafiq told The Associated Press he was talking to other European Muslim leaders and British police about the need to increase security.
The last 100 pages apparently lay out details of Breivik's social and personal life, including his steroid use and an intention to solicit prostitutes in the days before the attack.
Also Sunday, police carried out raids in an Oslo neighborhood on suspicion of explosives. Police spokesman Henning Holtaas said no explosives were found and no one was arrested. Continued...
Witnesses at the island youth retreat described how Breivik lured them close by saying he was a police officer before opening fire. People hid and fled into the water to escape the rampage; some played dead.
Divers continued to comb the lake waters around the island where some 600 young people were attending a Labor Party summer retreat when it came under attack, amid fears people may have drowned while trying to swim to safety.
Police said the bomb used in the Oslo blast was a mixture of fertilizer and fuel used to blow up a federal building in Oklahoma city in 1995. A farm supply store said Saturday they had alerted police that Breivik bought six metric tons of fertilizer, which can be used in homemade bombs.
DiLorenzo reported from Stockholm. Associated Press writers Ian MacDougall and Derl McCrudden in Oslo, Louise Nordstrom and Karl Ritter in Stockholm and Paisley Dodds in London contributed.

About Me Brand Buyer
I really like this all in one baby wash. I've used it on my son for about 2 years now, and I plan to use it on my newborn. The fragrance is light and a little bit of this product goes a long way. My son has never complained that it stings his eyes, and I'm not all that careful anymore when I wash his hair. He also has very sensitive skin (prone to rashes) and this stuff has never given him a rash! All in all this is one of my favorite baby products out there!

Comments about Baby Bee Bubble Bath, 12 fl oz:
This bubble bath is great. I love that the ingredients are limited, there is no animal testing, and it has a pleasant aroma which lingers a bit on baby skin. Burt's Bees has a few products with similar scent and those are the ones I like best.

Sorry, it seems I've gotten way behind... January 9th--12th, Jared and I flew to sunny, warm Barcelona. The city is filled with intersting architecture and wonderful parks. The second day we just wandered through the streets stopping at different cafes to have a drink and sit in the sun. We went up the hill where most of the Olympic sites are and had a beer at an outdoor cafe that overlooked the city and watched the stray cats run around and beg for food. From that lookout point, we could see the hill on the opposite side of the city where we had stood with a view the day before. The city is just so lovely with hills on both sides and the sea just in front of it. The first day we went to La Sagrada Familia, a church designed by Gaudi in 1882 that is still under construction. It's maximum capacity is suppose to be 55,000 people. Words can't describe and our pictures don't do justice, but I've been there twice and I'd go again, if only to see that building. Gaudi also designed Parc Guell. Jared included pictures, but I'm not sure whether or not they convey the fairytale atmosphere of the place. Not to mention, the warmth, sunshine, and happy, peaceful feeling. We met a nice girl from Sweden, Sabine, in our hostal and she spent both days wandering around the city with us. Many of you may know that Jared and I are a little bit strange when we're together, but we didn't scare her off and it was wonderful to have some company. So, besides the druggy who wanted to steal Jared's bag, but couldn't, so he stole the top of his ice cream instead...it was a wonderful trip. We arrived back in England to pouring, windy rain, and thought we must be crazy to leave Barcelona for that!

State Basketball Roundup: Bucks get a big road win over Dallas
Wisconsin Sports-- The Milwaukee Bucks ended a three-game losing streak with a 95-90 victory at Dallas last night.
DALLAS - The Milwaukee Bucks ended a three-game losing streak with a 95-90 victory at Dallas last night.
The Bucks scored the game's final five points. Mike Dunleavy put Milwaukee in front for good by hitting a jumper from 19-feet out with just over a minute to play. Ersan Ilyasova made three free throws in the final 17 seconds, as the Bucks were finally able to close out a game after dropping their previous three by a total of six points. Monta Ellis had 22 points, nine assists, and six steals. Larry Sanders had foul trouble early, but he recovered enough to have 13 points and 13 rebounds. Bucks' forward Drew Gooden came off the bench for the first time in six games, and had eight points in 10 minutes. Gooden was given an opportunity after the Bucks suspended center Samuel Dalembert for a game. He missed the team's shoot-around yesterday morning. Dallas center Dirk Nowitzki had 21 points and a season-high 20 boards. The Mavericks only made 1-of-17 from three-point range, as they've lost two straight after winning five-of-six. The Bucks picked up only their second victory in their last nine. And they expanded their lead for the final Eastern Conference playoff spot to five games over both Philadelphia and Toronto. Milwaukee plays at Houston tonight.
There were no big upsets last night in the first round of the Wisconsin girls' high school basketball regionals. Once again, the big story was the weather. Thirteen of the 152 scheduled games were postponed until tonight, because of another snowstorm in the southern part of the Badger State. All five returning champions from a year ago had first-round byes, as did all the top-seeded schools except for Division-Five – where all eight of the Number-Ones that played were victorious. Top-seeded Clayton crushed New Auburn 80-2. And top-seed Wisconsin Rapids Assumption handily eliminated Granton 79-3. Two teams forfeited their games – Milwaukee Tenor in Division 3, and Milwaukee Young-Coggs Prep in D-4. Five games had No. 10 seeds upsetting the seventh seeds. And five No. 4 were the highest seeds to lose. Once the first round games end tonight, each division will have 64 teams remaining. The girls' regionals are scheduled to continue to Friday and Saturday.
The University of Wisconsin men's basketball team has moved to within a game of first place in the Big Ten Conference, after crushing Nebraska at home last night, 77-46. The Badgers improved to 11-4 in the Big Ten, as conference leader Indiana lost at Minnesota. Wisconsin pulled away with a 27-4 run in the first half that included a barrage of three-pointers, including three from freshman Sam Dekker matched his season-high of 19 points. It was Dekker's fifth straight game in double figures. Wisconsin led by 21 at the half and rolled from there. They shot almost 60-percent in the first half, and 51-percent for the night. Nebraska shot only 33-percent. Jared Berggren became Wisconsin's all-time leader in blocked shots with 126. He had four against Nebraska. Dylan Talley had 21 points and eight rebounds for the Cornhuskers, who dropped to 4-and-11 in the Big Ten and 13-and-15 overall. 17th-ranked Wisconsin improved to 20-8 overall, and will host Purdue on Sunday.
Badgers' senior forward Jared Berggren is one of 30 finalists for the Naismith Award as the player-of-the-year in Division-One college basketball. Going into last night's win over Nebraska, Berggren led the team with almost 12 points a game, with seven rebounds. Four finalists for the Naismith award will be announced in late March during the NCAA Tournament. The winner will be announced at the men's Final Four on April seventh in Atlanta.
Alec Brown scored a career-high 28 points last night, as the UW-Green Bay men scored a home victory over UW-Milwaukee 78-61. The Panthers ended their season at 3-13 in the Horizon League, and 8-23 overall. Green Bay has one more contest on Saturday at Valparaiso, before playing in the Horizon League tournament. But the Phoenix were eliminated from the regular season crown when Valpo beat Youngstown State last night. The junior Brown made four three-pointers against Milwaukee, and he added eight rebounds as Green Bay improved to 10-5 in the conference and 16-13 overall. Paris Gulley led Milwaukee with 19 points. He hit a jumper which moved the Panthers to within five with six-and-a-half minutes left. But Green Bay responded with a 15-1 run to put the contest out of reach.
The Marquette University women's basketball team snapped a three-game losing string with an 81-70 victory at Providence. The Golden Eagles led by eight with 3:41 to play, and they made seven free-throws down the stretch to seal their victory. Marquette shot 50-percent, while out-rebounding the Friars 49-to-21. Katherine Plouffe had 20 points and 12 rebounds, as the Eagles improved to 5-9 in the Big East and 13-14 overall. Tori Rule scored a game-high 25 for Providence, which fell to 2-12 in the conference and 7-20 overall. Marquette plays at Georgetown on Saturday.
For the second time in a row, Sam Barber of UW-Stevens Point has been named the WIAC women's basketball player-of-the-year. The senior guard is the third player in conference history to receive the league's top honors in back-to-back seasons. The others are former Pointer Amanda Nechuta and Kelsey Duoss of Stout, both in the last decade. Barber leads the WIAC in scoring with almost 19 points a game. She also made the all-conference first team. Kaitlyn Thill and Cortney Kumerow, both of UW-Whitewater, are repeat first team selections from last season. Brad Fischer of Oshkosh was named the league's coach-of-the-year, as the Titans improved from 1-15 in the conference last year to 12-4 this season. It was the largest year-to-year improvement in league history.

Ice Cream in a Bag
Archived Articles by Shaina Olmanson
Summers can be hard, and the months of July and August seem the hardest in terms of getting the kids running around and not just sitting still. The days seem to drag on endlessly, and I know, as someone trying to balance working hours and summer schedules, it can be all too easy to tell the kids to find something to do on their own, which often leads to them flipping on the television instead of doing anything productive.
In an effort to combat the screen, last summer I enacted Food Science Camp for the kids, and each week we picked a special food-related project to do in the yard. The kids had fun turning cream into butter, making their own ice cream in minutes, watching a potato cook in the center of a metal bowl pointed at the sun, making pretzel dough and cooking it in a pizza box, and more.
If you're looking for an activity to get your kids going this summer, try this easy-to-pull-off ice cream in a zip-top bag. It's fun to see the kids' faces as milk and sugar turn into a frozen treat with nothing but the power of their hands giving it a good shake.
Ice Cream in a Bag
3/4 cup cream
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon vanilla
To Freeze:
1 quart-sized zip-top bag
1 gallon-sized zip-top bag
1/2 cup rock salt
3 cups ice
gloves or towel for mixing
Add the cream, milk, sugar, and vanilla to the quart-sized bag and squish to mix, sealing tightly. Add ice and rock salt to the gallon-sized bag and place the quart-sized bag inside it. Seal and shake the gallon sized bag with one hand below it and one hand holding the top, rocking it back and forth quickly. Use gloves or a cloth to hold the bag.
Shake for 10-15 minutes until ice cream is stiff. Remove the small bag from the larger. Carefully open the bag so as not to let the salt water drip in and scoop out frozen ice cream. Have your kids take the temperature of the rock salt and ice to see just how cold it was as you enjoy your bowl of ice cream.
Makes 2 small servings.

NEW YORK – The owner of Olive Garden and Red Lobster says it won't bump any full-time workers down to part-time status, after its tests aimed at limiting health care costs resulted in a publicity backlash that took a bite out of sales.
At the same time, Darden Restaurants Inc. isn't ruling out relying more heavily on part-timers over the long haul.
The company, based in Orlando, Fla., is set to announce today that none of its current full-time employees will have their status changed as a result of the new regulations. The move will come just two days after the company lowered its profit outlook for the year, citing failed promotions and negative publicity from its tests that used more part-time employees. The tests were aimed at keeping down costs tied to new health care regulations, which will require large companies to provide insurance to full-time workers starting in 2014.
After Darden's tests were reported in October, the company received a flood of feedback from customers through its website, on Facebook and in restaurants, said Bob McAdam, who heads government affairs and community relations for Darden. Additionally, he said that internal surveys showed both employee and customer satisfaction declined at restaurants where the tests were in place. "What that taught us is that our restaurants perform better when we have full-time hourly employees involved," he said.
Beyond the first year of the regulation, however, the company said it still needs to see how costs and other factors play out to determine what its workforce will look like in following years. For now, about 75 percent of the company's 185,000 employees are part-timers. The mix in the future "will depend on how the business goes," McAdam said.
Under the new health care law, companies with 50 or more workers could be hit with fines if they do not provide basic coverage for full-time workers and their dependents. Starting Jan. 1, those penalties and requirements could significantly boost labor costs for some companies, particularly in low-wage industries such as retail and hospitality where most jobs don't come with health benefits.
Darden's problems run deeper than the bad publicity related to the test, however. The company has been working to boost sales and attract customers at its flagship Olive Garden and Red Lobster restaurants, in part by putting a greater emphasis on value and updating menus. But on Tuesday, it noted that its recent promotions again failed to resonate with customers, and warned that it expected revenue at restaurants open at least a year to fall by 2.7 percent in its fiscal second quarter. The metric is a key gauge of health because it strips out the impact of newly opened and closed locations.
Beyond health care costs, Darden has made cutting labor costs a priority in recent years. Last year, for example, the company put workers on a "tip sharing" program, meaning waiters and waitresses share their tips with busboys, bartenders and other employees. This allows Darden to pay more workers a far lower "tip credit wage," rather than the federal minimum wage of $7.25 an hour. Servers at Red Lobster also now handle four tables at a time, instead of three.

Jason Mewes
Description[from Freebase]
Jason Edward Mewes (born June 12, 1974) is an American television and film actor, and internet radio show host best known for playing Jay, the vocal half of the duo Jay and Silent Bob, in longtime friend Kevin Smith's films. Jason Mewes grew up in a working-class neighborhood in New Jersey. He never knew his father, and his mother was an ex-con and a drug addict. Relates Mewes: "She used to check into hotels and take TVs and sell them...I guess it really ain't funny, but it's weird because it was so fucked up...She used to steal mail. I used to drive around with her and she'd pull up and make me reach into mailboxes. It really wasn't pleasant." Although this exposure to drugs at first served to make him averse to them, he eventually began using them after graduating from high school. His best friend was future filmmaker Kevin Smith, who describes his friend thus: "He's the kind of dude you know for five minutes and he whips his cock out. I was like, Somebody should put this dude in a movie. I just wanted to see if anybody outside our group of friends finds him as funny as I do." While working toward a career in roofing, Mewes made his film debut in Smith's 1994 film Clerks as Jay.
