Hoffman, Huang and Powers Lift Elis Past Bears
ITHACA, N.Y. – Only 12 hours after a tough loss to No. 47 Harvard, the Yale men's tennis team rebounded on Saturday with a 4-3 upset over No. 61 Brown at the Eastern Collegiate Athletic Conference (ECAC) Division I Indoor Team Championship. In a reversal of Friday's fortunes against the Crimson, the Bulldogs backed up some clutch play in doubles with strong performances in singles at Cornell's Reis Tennis Center to defeat the fifth-seeded Bears.
Saturday's victory is the second 4-3 triumph of the season for Yale (5-2), the tournament's No. 8 seed. Much like the Bulldogs' first 4-3 win, which was against Alabama-Birmingham, the squad's seniors relied on their wealth of experience to lead their teammates to the finish line.
The fight for the doubles point was itself a highly competitive affair, and the difference that put the Elis on top turned out to be just a couple points. At No. 1 doubles, the No. 39 senior duo of captain Daniel Hoffman and Marc Powers halted a two-match losing slide with an 8-4 win over Jacob Laser and Michael Riechmann. Brown bounced back, however when Brandon Burke and William Spector defeated Yale's No. 2 team of junior Patrick Chase and senior John Huang 8-5. The doubles point came down to the match at the No. 3 position, which senior Zachary Dean and sophomore Matt Saiontz narrowly edged out in a tiebreaker, 8-7(5).
Buoyed by this exciting finish, the Elis proceeded to match the Bears stroke for stroke in singles, which was enough given that they had secured the doubles point. Yale's top three seniors, all in their fourth and final seasons as Bulldogs, turned in veteran performances. At No. 1 singles, Huang eased past Riechmann, 6-3, 6-2. Powers defeated Soufiane Azargui with the loss of only one game to improve his spring season record to 6-1. Hoffman also posted his sixth win of the spring with a 6-4, 6-4 victory over Burke.
Brown (3-5) will face No. 59 Dartmouth in the seventh place match on Sunday.
Yale, meanwhile, will get the chance to record a fifth place finish at the ECAC Championship when it takes on No. 7 seed George Washington on Sunday at 10:00 a.m. at Cornell's Reis Tennis Center.

Take the time to sit down with a nice brandy and reminisce your trials and tribulations in the dungeons.
Shifting passages hard - open, enjoyable and let's me blast the crap out of walls. The shrinking effect is very fun.
Halls of steel hard - I found it difficult with limited black space and creature abilities. Made it harder to power level. It improved my play style the most while being challenging with different classes and races.
Demonic Library vicious - I find I have to pause and think about what to attack and take my time exploring but the fun is with the avatar. Nothing like having more monsters to bash and see how many levels I can gain.
Most annoying:
Labyrinth hard - I spent so much time on labyrinth with different classes getting smashed until I worked out what's strong. And how the boss moves.
Ick swamp hard - picking monk for this level annoys me. I first tried the monk here. Lol worst decision.
Naga city vicious - frustrated the hell out of me before Avatar told me how to deal with it. Like most dungeons the first time is the hardest. I struggled so hard with gold and what god/s to pick.

Despite what my critics would have you believe, my rejection of doping is all-encompassing, and not contingent upon learning the identity of the rider(s) involved in the scandal du jour. I have no interest in participating in, let alone leading, a "witch hunt" against Lance, and the effort I dedicated to exposing Levi's 1996 positive test was based solely on my disgust with the hypocrisy of those who viciously attacked Vino after his L-B-L win, while blissfully ignoring the former dopers in their own midst.
That Lance and Bottle are in the spotlight right now for all the wrong reasons is their fault - it's not a result of my having some conditional anti-doping agenda.
I hate doping in cycling because of its potential to wreak havoc with the lives of others, like it ultimately did to me. I repeatedly tell my story as a warning - a desperate one - because, as we see now - even the most moneyed athlete isn't immune to doping's destructive forces (even if he still claims to be clean, and thus doesn't even acknowledge how his alleged involvement with doping is destroying his own life).
Ok, I admit that my argument isn't as well-developed as I'd like it to be, but I don't have limitless time to devote to writing about this stuff. Send your suggestions, complaints and feedback to the usual address.
But that doesn't mean that you, The Public, can't raise your voices and put forth your own suggestions and demands and requests related to anti-doping. In fact, I'd hope you would do just that in the case of the former Gerolsteiner team manager Hans-Michael Holczer, who this week claimed that Levi Leipheimer's blood values during the 2005 Tour de France "showed a very high probability of manipulation," according to German press agency SID.
As Cyclingnews.com advises us, "During his time as a team manager, Holczer was outspoken about doping in cycling and insisted on several occasions that he had confidence in his riders. He famously – and naively – claimed several years ago that he knew they were clean and that he simply didn't need to run internal tests like those performed by other teams at the time; this later came back to haunt him when both Bernhard Kohl and Stefan Schumacher tested positive for CERA during the 2008 Tour de France."
In case the dots aren't jumping out at you and connecting themselves, Holczer actually knew about doping on his team but covered it up, to protect his economic interests. Then, he pretended to the public to not know about doping on his team - to support his PR aims. And when his star riders, including my friend Bernhard Kohl, tested positive, he hung them out to dry but then threw them under a bus - in a desperate ploy to hang onto the sponsor and show himself to be "tough" on doping, but apparently also a rube who was easily fooled by those sophisticated cyclists.
One rider he chose not to flick was Levi Leipheimer - because the scandal that followed supposedly would have bankrupted Holczer personally, and it would have been a voluntary descent into hell. While the UCI asked Holczer to remove Levi from the team, Leipheimer was technically not (+) for doping, and so free to compete. Yanking Levi from the Tour team and firing him from the squad would have seen the American respond with the legal equivalent of the "Nuclear Option."
Are you surprised that Holczer is "telling the truth" now because he's promoting his new book, "Garantiert Positiv" ("Guaranteed Positive") - and presumably has an interest in selling as many as he can?

NCAA Football Roundup / Top 25
No. 2 Florida State 37, Florida 7
Jameis Winston threw three touchdown passes to Kelvin Benjamin, and Florida State moved a step closer to playing for the national championship with a victory against rival Florida on Saturday.
The Seminoles improved to 12-0 for the first time since 1999 and likely will earn a spot in the Bowl Championship Series title game by beating Duke in the Atlantic Coast Conference championship game next Saturday.
Florida, meanwhile, ended its worst season since 1979.
The Gators (4-8) lost their final seven games and missed a bowl for the first time since 1990. Florida's bowl streak had been the second-longest in the country, behind Florida State.
The Seminoles were four-touchdown favorites in this lopsided matchup - that lived up to advance billing.
Although the outcome was never in doubt, the Gators made it interesting early with some stout defense. They hit Winston several times, even late once, and stuffed FSU's running game.
But with its offense floundering once again - Florida managed just three first downs in the first half - the defense eventually wore down.
No. 10 South Carolina 31, No. 6 Clemson 17
Connor Shaw threw for one touchdown and rushed for another as South Carolina won its record fifth straight over Clemson.
The Gamecocks (10-2) won their 18th straight at home, extending a school record set earlier this year. For Shaw, it capped the senior's home career at a perfect 17-0 as a starter in the sweetest way possible.
The Tigers (10-2) had never lost five consecutive games to their rival in a series that began in 1896 - which they still lead 65-42-4 all-time. The loss also left record-setting quarterback Tajh Boyd 0-for-4 against the Gamecocks.
South Carolina put things away with two touchdowns in the fourth quarter to break away from 17-all tie. Mike Davis had a 2-yard scoring run with 11:47 left and Pharoh Cooper threw a 26-yard TD pass to Brandon Wilds.
No. 8 Stanford 27, No. 25 Notre Dame 20
Wayne Lyons intercepted two passes from Tommy Rees late in the fourth quarter, and Stanford held off Notre Dame in the regular-season finale for both teams.
The Cardinal (10-2) overcame two interceptions from Kevin Hogan and a penalty that wiped away another touchdown to win their 16th consecutive home game. Stanford will play for its second straight Pac-12 title and Rose Bowl berth next week when it faces No. 13 Arizona State in the conference championship game.
Tyler Gaffney ran for 189 yards and a touchdown, and Hogan threw for 158 yards and TD pass to Devon Cajuste to help the Cardinal take a 21-6 lead in the third quarter.
Rees nearly rallied the Fighting Irish (8-4) by throwing two touchdown passes later in the quarter. But interceptions on Notre Dame's final two drives dashed Notre Dame's come back.
No. 9 Baylor 41, TCU 38
Bryce Petty threw for two touchdowns and ran for another, Baylor returned two interceptions for scores and the Bears hung on for a victory over Texas Christian.
The Bears (10-1, 7-1 Big 12) scored 21 straight points on either side of halftime with just 1 yard from their high-powered offense and bounced back from a blowout loss at Oklahoma State to maintain their hopes for a share of the conference title.
Baylor could win the league outright and qualify for a BCS bid, likely the Fiesta Bowl, if it beats Texas and the Cowboys lose to Oklahoma next Saturday.
The Horned Frogs (4-8, 2-7) were in position to tie in the final seconds, but Casey Pachall threw his third interception on a pass tipped by receiver Brandon Carter and grabbed by Baylor's Terrell Burt in the end zone with 11 seconds left.
The Baylor offense had running backs Lache Seastrunk and Glasco Martin for the first time after both missed two games with injuries, but the Bears still finished 292 yards off their nation-leading average of 662. They were outgained 410-370 as Baylor finished with a season low.
Seastrunk had 92 yards against the Big 12's best rushing defense in the first half, but just 2 after halftime.
No. 11 Michigan State 14, Minnesota 3
Jeremy Langford ran for 134 yards and a touchdown, and Michigan State wrapped up an unbeaten regular season in Big Ten play with a victory over Minnesota.
The Spartans (11-1, 8-0) finished a perfect Big Ten regular season for only the third time. They also did it in 1965 and 1966, when they only had to play seven conference games.
Michigan State will face Ohio State in the Big Ten championship game next weekend. The Spartans had already wrapped up the Legends Division title, but there was no letdown against Minnesota (8-4, 4-4).
Penn St. 31, No. 14 Wisconsin 24
Christian Hackenberg threw for 339 yards and four touchdowns, and Penn State pounced on a slew of blunders before holding off a late rally to upset Wisconsin.
Hackenberg, a freshman, showed the poise and touch of a veteran in dissecting a tough defense. Eugene Lewis caught two touchdowns, including a 59-yarder for a 17-point lead with 13 minutes to go.
The Nittany Lions (7-5, 4-4 Big Ten) secured a statement win against a team that had been dominant all year at home. Joel Stave threw for three touchdowns for Wisconsin (9-3, 6-2), though Penn State capitalized on second-half interceptions, turning one into Lewis' long TD.
No. 24 Duke 27, North Carolina 25
Ross Martin kicked a 27-yard field goal with 2:22 left and Duke beat North Carolina, completing the Blue Devils' improbable run to reach the Atlantic Coast Conference championship game.
Anthony Boone threw for 274 yards and two touchdowns to Jamison Crowder as the Blue Devils (10-2, 6-2 ACC) clinched the Coastal Division championship with their eighth straight victory. DeVon Edwards' interception with 13 seconds left clinched the long-suffering program's first 10-win season.
Duke will face No. 2 Florida State next weekend in Charlotte, where the heavy underdog Blue Devils will go for their first ACC crown since 1989.
Duke led 24-15 in the third quarter but needed to rally to beat the rival Tar Heels (6-6, 4-4).

DMAdams needed a new web page design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 13 designs submitted by 6 freelance designers.
We are building CauseShare to allow people to create personalized destinations on the web for the causes that are important to them. A cause can be anything to a walk-a-thon the user is a part of to a charity or organizations that is important to the user. CauseShare will integrate with many social media tools (Twitter, Facebook, Myspace, Gmail, etc) to allow its users to spread the word about their cause and attract people to their personalized destinations where they share about their cause and themselves. This is what sets CauseShare apart. We need a creative and ambitious individual to create a great initial design for our website that will shape our service and our brand. This is the first step we have made in design, so there are NO limits. We will be awarding the prize to the design that is most daring and ambitious, not the design that is exactly what we are looking for, but the design that we should be looking for!
CauseShare is used by people very active in social media. They are usually, but not always, very well educated. They are very active and involved online and offline. They all care about their friends, the world, and the people who live on it. They are between 18 and 45. They have a wide array of passions and interests but they appreciate the simple things in life. They like things that are functional and make sense, but are also interesting and dynamic. If they were a car, they would be a Jeep Wrangler, if they were a dog, they would be Border Collie, and if they were a President, they would be John Adams, revolutionary. We want our target customer to come to the website and go down a very clear path, and understand the benefit, but at the same time, feel like they are able to customize and explore a bit in their experience.
We are running this contest to develop a KILLER homepage that explains CauseShare. So many websites suck because they stay within the same old boundaries. We want our homepage to be ENGAGING but also VERY UNDERSTANDABLE. We have very few requirements as we are starting from scratch and want to leverage YOUR expertise and creativity in design and branding, but here are the 2 things we need:
1. A Homepage
-Introduce CauseShare at the top
-Communicate our tagline – "share with friends, raise money."
-Most importantly, the three segments of the body or page should be the how to use CauseShare in a very INTERESTING and GRAPHICAL manner:
1. CREATE or JOIN a Cause
2. BUILD your Profile
3. SHARE your Cause
-Lastly, communicate somehow (graphics or words), somewhere on the homepage, the benefit of our service (Raise money through your social networks)
We love the way http://www.adidas.com used images to sell their brand, but be creative.
Overall, It just has to be ENGAGING and UNDERSTANDABLE. Homepage should be BRIGHT, EXCITING, and FUN. Not lots of dark colors.
We need an identity and logo for CauseShare. The logo should be text based. The identity should be something we can carry throughout the site, and it might be a color/image/graphic/or character. Really this is the time we desperately need you to be creative and give us something to build our brand around!
Good Luck!

NORTHAMPTON, Mass. (courtesy Smith College press release)-- In their opener at the 2011 Hall of Fame Invitational, the Brandeis volleyball team defeated tournament co-host Smith College, 3-0, tonight. With the 25-16, 26-24, 25-22 victory, the Judges snap a 13-match losing streak and improve to 8-15 on the season. The Pioneers fall to 7-15 with their eighth consecutive loss.
With the first set tied at five, the Judges went on an 9-2 run that boosted their lead to 14-7. Out of the timeout, Smith cut the lead to 17-15, but that was as close as Smith would get as Brandeis scored eight of the next nine points to close out the first set 25-16.
The next set also saw the teams tied at five, but the Pioneers inched out to a 10-9 lead, and when the advantage grew to 15-12, the Judges called timeout. The stoppage in play did nothing to slow the Pioneers, who upped their lead to 18-13, but Brandeis rallied to tie the set at 20 with a 7-2 run. Smith took back the lead at 23-20, but the Judges scored six of the final seven points to take the first set 26-24.
The Judges opened up the final set with a 6-1 lead, but Smith rallied to close within 11-10, where Brandeis was forced to call timeout. A 5-0 run for Brandeis moved the lead back to 16-11, but Smith would rally again, tying the score at 17, and moved in front with two more points to take a 19-18 lead. Brandeis came back to take the lead for good at 21-20, and finished the set with four of the final six points to close out the match 25-22.
Rookie outside hitter Liz Hood (Albuquerue, N.M/Albuquerque Acad.) led the team with 11 kills, hitting for a .368 percentage. Junior middle blocker Lauren Berens (Boulder, Colo./Fairview) was even more accurate, with nine kills and no errors in 15 attempts for a .600 percentage. Junior Becca Fischer (San Antonio, Texas/Clark), also a middle blocker, had a fine performance at the net with six blocks (one solo) to go with seven kills. Rookie libero Elsie Bernaiche (Plantsville, Conn./Southington) led the defensive performance with 19 digs, while sophomore setter Yael Einhorn (Cherry Hill, N.J./Cherry Hill East) had 32 assists, two block assists and a service ace.
The Judges continue action tomorrow with a pair of regionally-ranked teams, No. 12 Amherst and No. 2 Bowdoin.

South Summit raises relief funds for Sandy victims
November 13, 2012
When native-New Yorker and South Summit Middle School teacher Annie Grappone saw footage of her home on the nightly news, the Queens borough where her friends and family live, she was at a loss. Before long, she was hearing from loved ones about the storm and its impact, but also the ongoing outpour of East Coasters volunteering, donating, giving what they could where and when they could.
"My family and friends live in Manhattan, New Jersey and Queens," Grappone said. "They were personally affected by the storm. My aunt's home flooded, and she was displaced I think that spurred me to do this. Maybe I couldn't do anything hands on, but I did the next best thing."
After a quick call to the American Red Cross, Grappone started a fundraising campaign for the South Summit Middle School. And students responded in full force, donating their time and money to the Sandy Hurricane Relief Fund over the past week. In homeroom classes, teachers set up jars to collect what students could spare. In the hallways, student council created posters advertising the campaign. Home room classes even started competing to see which grade could give the most.
The fundraiser ended Tuesday, pulling in more than $1,200 in donations to the relief efforts.
"It was an overwhelming response from the students," Grappone said. "Students from all grades kept coming up and asking me about family. These kids rallied around a cause, and have been very supportive, very interested in what is happening on the other side of the country."
According to the American Red Cross, since Hurricane Sandy hit the East Coast, nearly 5,900 Red Cross workers have been deployed from every state. More than 3.5 million meals and snacks have been served and the Red Cross has distributed more than 177,000 relief items such as clean-up kits and hygiene kits.

"Any time you do a fundraiser, it teaches us there are people in the world who are in need," she added. "We all need to remember that there will be times in life when people need help. If we help them in their time of need, someone can in turn help us when and if we need it."
Grappone started at the middle school this year, but before joining the school district ran the Parley's Park After School program. In that position, she also got students involved, joining the Christian Center in helping provide clothes and toys to underprivileged children in the area.

Florida's YMCA have been selected to participate in the Y's Statewide Pioneering Healthier Communities -– an initiative aimed at addressing the childhood obesity epidemic through policy, systems and environmental change.
The Florida Alliance of YMCAs is one of 14 to receive funds from YMCA of the USA, which was recently awarded nearly $7.9 million from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation to expand its initiative from six states to a total of 21 states -- focusing on states with high rates of childhood obesity.
As of 2010, 16.9 percent of our nation's children and adolescents ages 2 to 19 years old were obese, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. In Florida, the rate has climbed over the last five years and is 11.5 percent.
Launched in 2009, the initiative convenes state and community leaders to work together to implement strategies that support healthy living.
"The Y and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation have a mutual commitment to ensuring our nation's children grow to be healthy, happy and strong," said YMCA of the USA president and CEO Neil Nicoll. "Our work together over the past three years has resulted in community and state-level changes that will help children and their families live healthier lives for years to come. We are grateful to be able to continue this important relationship."
Within 37 communities in six states, the Y's program advanced more than 2,300 strategies and changes to tackle this growing health crisis. To date, these strategies and changes have impacted up to 2.3 million lives.
These communities have implemented strategies that include helping families put healthier food on the table by bringing fresh fruits and vegetables to neighborhoods where there are few healthy food options; giving parents peace of mind by making safe walking routes to schools; helping to keep a generation of kids healthier by working with schools to increase physical education and physical activity during the school day or by working with after-school programs to provide additional opportunities outside the school day for physical activity.

Last month my little sweetie turned two years old. Yes, she is now two years old and we are still breastfeeding. A lot. She really likes to nurse.
Now, to many of the people I hang out with, this is totally normal. However, I realize that for most of the people in the US this may seem weird. My minimum breastfeeding goal has always been two years, though I fell a few months short with both of my boys. Why at least two years? Why would you still be breastfeeding a toddler? Can't she have "regular" milk now? Doesn't she have a full set of teeth and eat solid food?
Most people are simply unaware of the huge list of benefits of continuing to breastfeed full term. One of my favorite collection of research based information on this is at Breastfeeding Past Infancy: Fact Sheet
While it may seem "weird" to many in our culture, scientific research by Katherine A. Dettwyler, PhD shows that 2.5 to 7.0 years of nursing is what our children have been designed to expect (Dettwyler 1995).
In short:
Weird = Some person's opinion
Normal = Science
So, if science says it is normal to be nursing a two year old, then why is it so often considered "weird"? Dr. Karan Epstein-Gilboa points out in her book, Interaction and Relationships in Breastfeeding Families, "In western environments, non-nursing or, at most, short term nursing are the norm. Behaviors veering from the normal status are therefore considered abnormal."
Some people may read this and think about how much breastfeeding is promoted as "best" and be mislead to think that we live in a breastfeeding culture. When you consider the fact that in the US approximately 11% of babies are still nursing at 12 months old, knowing that the American Academy of Pediatrics suggests baby is nursed a MINIMUM of 12 months, you can see that we are a culture in which bottle feeding and short term breastfeeding are the norm. The vast majority of children in the US are not nursing on their first birthday. Not normal is abnormal by default.
Until recently, nursing into toddler/preschool ages was often labeled "Extended Breastfeeding". The reality is that there is nothing "extended" about it. It is the physiological norm for human children. Breastfeeding beyond infancy is not extended, simply "full term". Many babies are born before 40 weeks gestation. Do we consider a baby who stayed in utero until 40 weeks "extended gestation"? No, it is normal. It is full term. Same thing with breastfeeding a toddler.
Full term breastfeeding has been in the mainstream media lately with Mayim Bialik being vocal about breastfeeding her toddlers, and child-led weaning. You can find may articles by her and interviews with her with titles like: I Breastfeed My Toddler. Got A Problem With It?
Don't even get me started on people who claim that a mother who nurses beyond infancy does it to meet her own needs, not the needs of the child.
Why at least two years?
There are literally dozens of reasons. Here are just a couple:
- The American Academy of Family Physicians recommends that breastfeeding continue throughout the first year of life and that "As recommended by the WHO, breastfeeding should ideally continue beyond infancy, but this is not the cultural norm in the United States and requires ongoing support and encouragement. It has been estimated that a natural weaning age for humans is between two and seven years. Family physicians should be knowledgeable regarding the ongoing benefits to the child of extended breastfeeding, including continued immune protection, better social adjustment, and having a sustainable food source in times of emergency. The longer women breastfeed, the greater the decrease in their risk of breast cancer." They also note that "If the child is younger than two years of age, the child is at increased risk of illness if weaned." (AAFP 2008)
- Nursing toddlers between the ages of 16 and 30 months have been found to have fewer illnesses and illnesses of shorter duration than their non-nursing peers (Gulick 1986).
- "Breast milk continues to provide substantial amounts of key nutrients well beyond the first year of life, especially protein, fat, and most vitamins."
-- Dewey 2001
Can't she have "regular" milk now?
I think it is a funny thing in our culture that "regular milk", or cows milk, is considered such an important part of our diet. There is an entire nutrition category based on a SINGLE food source: cows milk. Every other "group" has multiple sources of nutrition: Grains (rice, wheat, oats, corn etc.), proteins (meat, fish, eggs, legumes etc.), vegetable, fruits, you get the idea. The reality is that although the Diary Council would like you to think otherwise, NO ONE needs to consume any dairy products to be healthy (and many of us would probably be much healthier without them!). Some good info at Cows Milk? and Is Cow's Milk Necessary For Toddlers?
Yes, she can and does drink cows milk, as that is a food that our family keeps in the house. But, the best nutrition she gets is from species-specific milk made by her mama.
Doesn't she have a full set of teeth and eat solid food?
Yes. She actually got all of her teeth rather early. She is a great eater and powers down lots of food. She loves fruit and chicken enchiladas.
Baby teeth are also sometimes referred to as: "milk teeth". If you look at it, the common time for kids to start losing their "milk teeth" around 5-7 years, coincides with the later age of natural weaning.
Isn't she nursing just for comfort?
Sometimes, yes. I think it is perfectly acceptable to comfort my child, and breastfeeding is sometimes the way to do it. Remember, it is not only about the milk.
I'm glad we are still nursing. I was really glad last weekend when we ended up in the ER after a fall. She didn't need any pain meds, she was happy and comfortable sitting on my lap and nursing when she wanted.
Last week when we had a 4 hour layover at 6am in a strange airport, it was great to be able to nurse her and watch her relax and fall fast asleep.
Some people may be wondering how long we will continue to nurse. Ainsley is pretty much the boss on that one. She will let me know when she no longer needs it.

I get quite a few messages asking for the information on how I made my custom airbox, that replaces the standard and unlike pod filters does not need a lot of messing about with jets.
So I've pulled all the pictures and drawings together and dumped them into a drop box that anyone can access from the link at the bottom.
In summary, this is what you need to get and do.
1. Find a set of Velocity Stacks, I found that the ones from a Rover V8 are ideal, they are steel (so you can cut and weld them and they are the correct diameter to suit the carbs - ebay usually have them (£20 for 8 of them) (currently ebay item 282533937999)
2. Also from ebay you will need a length of Silicon Hose (to go between the end of the velocity stack and the carb, also you will need some filter foam
3. The metal work is laser cut (I used a local company which cost £30) just give them the AutoCad drawings and they will be able to upload them and program the cutter directly.
NOTE the dimensions of this airbox are for the PD carbs if you want to change the spacing of the inlets to suite CV carbs you will need to change the Visio drawings and re-generate the AutoCad files
Any questions just shout
here's the link to the Dropbox https://www.dropbox.com/sh/cb4x5jz13v71 ... Tffaa?dl=0

March 31, 2006
International authority and scholar on Islam John Esposito told the Wabash community Thursday night that Americans "must become better informed about Islam."
"We must be able to make informed judgments about Islam and about what the Qu'ran says," said the Brooklyn-born Esposito, founding director of The Center Muslim-Christian Understanding at Georgetown University, the author of more than 30 books on Islam, and the editor-in-chief of The Oxford Encyclopedia of the Modern Islamic World. "It is vital not only to our security, but to our economy, and to social justice in our country."
Speaking to the largest crowd of students, faculty, and staff ever to attend a Wabash Muslim Students Association dinner, Esposito said that the 9/11 attacks had been such a setback to understanding between the Muslim and Christian worlds that it will take another 20 years for it to "get back to where it needs to be."
The scuttling of the Dubai ports deal and the controversy over cartoons portraying the Prophet Muhammad as a terrorist are just two recent symptoms of that misunderstanding.
"For the past 30 years I've been talking with the media and government officials about Islam, and after 30 years I still get the same questions," Esposito said. "We lack sufficient knowledge of the Qu'ran and Islam to put events and issues into context."
That's not the case in the U.S. when it comes to Christianity or Judaism, Esposito explained.
"If you see an article about a right-wing extremist Christian group, you have a context for it, some sense or interpretation of what the Bible might say about it," the scholar said. "We know enough not to take that small group as representative of all of Christianity. But we don't have that sort of context for Islam yet.
"After 9/11, President Bush called the attacks the acts of Islamic extremists, not acts supported by all of Islam; but then Franklin Graham called Islam an evil religion," Esposito said. "How do we educate about both mainstream and extremist Islam when some see that very notion as being 'squishy liberal' or 'soft on Islam?' How do we educate when our very way of understanding Islam is being politicized?"
Esposito cited a recent Gallup Poll in which those in Muslim nations were asked, "What do you resent most about the United States?" The most common response was, "The denigration of Islam," followed closely by "Equating Islam with terrorism."
"The relationship of understanding between the Christian and Muslim worlds must move forward," Esposito said. "As educators, we must find ways to move it forward."

Everyone loves Portuguese egg tarts and I am sharing my Portuguese egg tarts recipe with you.
I did not make these Portuguese egg tarts from scratch. As a non-baker, I always take short cuts when it comes to baking.
For the shell, I "cheated" with a pack of off-the-shelf Betty Crocker Pie Crust Mix. You can also use Pillsbury frozen and rolled pie crust.
The instant pie crust mix did not disappoint. The crust was so flaky and the texture was so light. If you don't like your Portuguese egg tarts too sweet, you can reduce the sugar a little bit.
Be sure to use jumbo-size eggs or you might be short of the filling mixture for these Portuguese egg tarts…
If you live in California and would like to try out some really good egg tarts, I strongly urge you to go to the following two establishments:
Golden Gate Bakery
1029 Grant Ave
San Francisco, CA 94133
(415) 781-2627
This famed bakery is a legend in the San Francisco Bay Area. The line is longer than the Great Wall of China, but let me assure you that their egg tarts are well worth the painful wait.
Don't expect any good service from the shop keepers either, but do expect a lot of satisfaction from the hot-off-the-oven egg tarts.
Golden Gate's egg tarts are 5 fingers licking good.
Jim's Bakery (金狮饼家)
102 E. Garvey Ave.
Monterey Park, CA 91755
(626) 573-5757
This is the best kept secret of Southern California. Jim's egg tarts are equally sublime and the crusts are so flaky they are to die for.
Trays and trays of egg tarts are served right out of the oven but they are usually gone in no time. Call ahead to get the freshest and prettiest selection.
Opens from 7:30 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.

A Secret Service official said Newport Beach city administrators are asking the wrong people to pay for police protection at presidential campaign events.
It's the service that is responsible for the candidates' security, not the campaigns, said Max Milien, an agency spokesman. Any cost concerns should be directed to the agency.
Newport Beach City Manager Dave Kiff billed the campaigns of President Obama and presumptive Republican nominee Mitt Romney for police security at their separate fundraisers this year in the city.
Now that the Romney campaign paid its bill, the city is left in the awkward position of trying to collect from Obama.

Malloy orders flags to half-staff for Madison soldier killed by Afghan police officer
As Gov. Dannel P. Malloy ordered flags to fly at half-staff Wednesday, he said Army Capt. Andrew Michael Pedersen-Keel made the ultimate sacrifice to defend the state and the nation.
Pedersen-Keel, 28, of Madison died Monday of injuries incurred when he was attacked by small arms fire during a patrol in the Jalrez District of Afghanistan, according to the Department of Defense. Staff Sgt. Rex L. Schad, 26, of Edmond, Okla., also was killed.
According to a statement from Malloy, Pedersen-Keel was killed by a member of the Afghan National Police.
Pedersen-Keel was assigned to Company B, 1st Battalion, 3rd Special Forces Group (Airborne), Fort Bragg, N.C. He graduated in 2002 from the Avon Old Farms School, a boys' boarding school in Avon, before going to the U.S. Military Academy. His mother, Helen, and stepfather, Robert, moved to Madison in 2003, the town's first selectman, Fillmore McPherson, said.
"It's always a loss when one of these fine young men is killed, and it's doubly a loss when you have a local connection like this," McPherson said Wednesday. "The entire town is reaching out to the parents at this time of their grief."
This was Pedersen-Keel's second deployment in support of operations in Afghanistan.
"Our thoughts are with his family, his friends and his unit during this very difficult time," Malloy said Wednesday. "We pray for a safe homecoming for our troops who are stationed around the world and thank them for their bravery and service."
"This is a tragic and sad reminder that even as the conflict in Afghanistan is winding down, there are still hundreds of Connecticut soldiers in harm's way," Lt. Gov. Nancy Wyman said. "Capt. Pedersen-Keel and every one of the other 63 brave men and women from our state lost in Afghanistan and Iraq died defending us and our freedom, and that sacrifice must never be forgotten."
The Connecticut National Guard notified Pedersen-Keel's mother at her home on Monday night and escorted her to Dover Air Force Base to observe the dignified transfer of remains Tuesday, said Col. John Whitford, spokesman for the Connecticut National Guard. A casualty assistance officer was assigned to her. Pedersen-Keel's father lives in Florida.
Pedersen-Keel was commissioned as an infantry officer after he graduated from West Point in 2006. After further training, he was assigned to the 3rd Brigade Combat Team, 1st Infantry Division (Light) at Fort Hood, Texas, and deployed to Afghanistan for a year in June 2008. He served as a company executive officer and platoon leader.
When he returned home, he volunteered for the Special Forces Assessment and Selection Course. After completing the course and language training, he was assigned in August as a detachment commander to his current unit in Fort Bragg. The unit then deployed to Afghanistan.
Pedersen-Keel's awards and decorations include two Bronze Stars and the Army Commendation Medal. He is survived by his parents and a sister.
Flags will remain at half-staff until his burial. The funeral arrangements have not been completed, but McPherson, who has spoken with the Army liaison for the family, said he was told the burial will be at Arlington National Cemetery.
"That would suggest that there will not be a funeral here, but there may very well be a memorial service at some point," McPherson said. "We would like to render full honors but we will adhere to what the family requests."
As of Thursday morning, no decision had been made yet on any of the arrangements, Whitford said. That information will be forthcoming.

Let Them Eat: Meyer Lemon Cake
Get the Recipe
Last week I flew to southern California, expecting a warm embrace from the typically postcard-perfect area. Instead, the days were battered ocean gray and damp with mist. Tired and chilled to the bone on a location shoot, the only consolation were the orbs of bright yellow and orange citrus weighing down the tree branches. They were luminous and made me throw out my ideas of cozy, spice-laden cakes for a while.
This cake celebrates the vibrant fruits of winter, specifically the sweet, juicy Meyer lemon whose perfume is solace from the cold and cutting weather. Grated zest is pulsed or rubbed with fingertips into sugar to release the bittersweet oils of the lemon. The effect is a light cake infused with flavor. Slathers of curd, flavored in the same manner, gush from between the layers and a simple dusting of powdered sugar blankets the top. Serve this cake during the winter months when the fruit is in season.

On Tuesday, November 9, 2010, Dr. Mark Wedig, OP, professor of theology at Barry University and graduate of CUA, returned to campus to deliver a lecture on the hermeneutics of the liturgical environment.

As many pundits had anticipated, the fiscal-cliff compromise reached by Congress and President Obama focuses primarily on the tax cuts that were set to expire at year's end, and leaves the really difficult stuff – namely, long-term tax and spending reform – for later.
But just because the Washington elite haven't reached a grand bargain doesn't mean you can't devise one of your own –from the comfort of your own home, armchair and bunny slippers, no less. For a couple of weeks, our corporate siblings at the Wall Street Journal have been inviting readers like you to Make Your Own Deficit-Reduction Plan, using a tool that lets you choose among possible tax increases and spending cuts. The object of the game is to reduce the federal deficit for the year 2020 from a little over $1.1 trillion to zero (using data and projections from the Congressional Budget Office).
Just for kicks, I went through the options and chose everything that had anything to do with retirement-related benefit programs. I increased the amount of earnings subject to the Social Security payroll tax (good for about $60 billion in new revenue a year). I bumped up the Medicare Part B premium ($40 billion). I hiked the eligibility ages on both of the big programs (cutting $90 billion a year in spending, give or take) and imposed the loathed "diet COLA," using a different inflation formula to slow the growth rate of Social Security benefits ($20 billion).
Cutting here, slashing there, raising prices everywhere: I felt like FDR's evil twin! And while I didn't make the deficit disappear, I racked up $445 billion in savings, covering about 40% of the gap – appropriate enough, since that's roughly the share of the federal budget that gets spent on Social Security and Medicare. It was yet another reminder that any serious federal budget reform will almost certainly involve Retirement Reform.
Can you get to a balanced budget without touching seniors' benefits? Sure, piece of cake! Simply repeal all the Affordable Care Act expansions of health insurance ($150 billion in spending cuts). Then lop $54 billion or so off the defense budget, as specified in the current cliff arrangements. But you'll still need more revenue, so go ahead and let all the Bush and Obama tax cuts from 2001, 2003 and 2009 expire ($550 billion) tax muni-bond interest ($30 billion) and impose a 5% value-added tax on goods, services, and home purchases ($320 billion), et voila – a surplus. Now all you have to do is sell that plan to Congress and the public.
