Corn sticks were a big part of my childhood. When I was growing up, we often had dinner at Morrison's Cafeteria. My favorite part of the outing was reaching the end of the line where the hot corn sticks were served. They were crisp on the outside, soft on the inside, and topped with pats of butter that melted over them. The cafeteria is long gone, but not the corn sticks. They survive in this recipe.
Corn sticks call for baking the batter in a hot, well-greased pan with long, narrow corn-shaped wells, which is what produces the crisp exterior. Southerners pass well-seasoned pans from generation to generation; you can also find them in most cookware stores. Traditional pans are made of cast iron and usually have seven wells.–Elinor Klivans
LC Lucky Seven Note
We know. You're thinking, "I don't have a corn stick pan and I'm not going to buy one." Yet part of what makes this corn stick recipe from baker Elinor Klivans so spectacular, as she explains above, is the lovely old-fashioned cast-iron pan in which its baked. The batter just doesn't actualize its fullest potential when made in a baking dish or muffin tins. (Though we've been told by Southerners that, in a pinch, a madeleine pan turns out not at all shabby, albeit rather squat, corn sticks.)
What we think is a shame? That the darn pan affords only seven corn sticks. How often do you have seven people at your table? What happens if you've invited six guests? It could get not so pretty if anyone finds out there's a single, lonely leftover corn stick hanging out in the kitchen. Or, heaven forbid, what if you're expecting eight?! It's far beyond the normal call of host or hostessing to ask us to do without one of these little lovelies. It's a problem that's easily remedied, though. Simply double the recipe and make the corn sticks in batches. Or invest in a second pan. Trust us.
Southern Corn Sticks
- Quick Glance
- Makes 7 corn sticks
Special Equipment: 1 cast-iron corn stick pan with 7 wells
- 2 teaspoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon mild vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons unbleached all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup fine-grind stone-ground yellow cornmeal
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 cup buttermilk (either low-fat or full-fat)
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- 1. To prepare the corn sticks, position the oven rack in the center position and preheat the oven to 425ºF (218°C).
- 2. In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter with 1 teaspoon of the oil. Use a pastry brush to coat each corn stick pan well generously with the butter-oil mixture. Place the corn stick pan in the oven to heat while you mix the batter.
- 3. In a large bowl, stir together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add the buttermilk, egg, and the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and use a large spoon to stir the batter slowly, just until the ingredients are combined. There will be some small lumps; that's okay. No need to panic.
- 4. Remove the corn stick pan from the oven and spoon about 2 tablespoons of the batter into each well. The batter should fill the well to the rim.
- 5. Bake the corn sticks until the tops are lightly browned and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 15 minutes. If you peek at the bottom of the corn sticks, they will be browned. Let the corn sticks cool in the pan on a wire rack for 5 minutes (but no longer than that).
- 6. Use a small, sharp knife and your fingers to loosen the edges of the corn sticks and carefully transfer the sticks from the pan to the rack. Do not turn the pan upside down to release the corn sticks because its weight may break them. Serve warm. (The corn sticks can be baked a day ahead, covered, and left at room temperature. To serve, preheat the oven to 275ºF (135°C) and reheat the corn sticks, uncovered, just until warmed through, about 10 minutes.)

Planning Your Approach To Setting Up Your Dirt Car
Preparing the setup in a dirt car for the upcoming season involves some processes and knowledge of technology that has been developed over the past 10 years. The approach we advocate has resulted in a lot of success and made racing much more enjoyable for a lot of dirt teams. For obvious reasons, knowledge is not passed around freely in racing circles. No one is prone to let other competitors in on performance secrets.
The processes for dirt and asphalt are similar in some ways and very different in others. That is why we decided to split the story into separate articles so that we could speak to each group separately. As I said in the asphalt piece, if you read it first, the separation between these two genres is becoming both wider and narrower, depending on which aspect of chassis dynamics and tuning we are discussing.
You may need to go back to the asphalt article when some of that information pertains to dirt racing, too. So, all you dirt guys, just because you skipped the asphalt article and moved on doesn't mean you shouldn't go back and take in some of the technology presented in the asphalt piece.
For any race car with a double A-arm front suspension, we always start with the front-end geometry, be it dirt or asphalt. If the moment center design on your car is not set properly, then the whole car will suffer, no matter what setup you have in the car.
One of the primary complaints coming from dirt drivers is that the car does not turn well. The number-one reason for that is the front geometry is incorrectly designed. Just improving that aspect of the car's overall design can make a huge difference in performance.
The dirt car moment center design is different from that of an asphalt car. On dirt, the average g-force is much less than on asphalt because the track does not provide as much grip. So the MC needs to be located farther to the left in order for the car to work well. Trust me when I tell you that most top touring dirt Late Model teams have learned the importance of correct MC location. If not, then they are getting beat by those who do.
The dirt Late Model rear geometry layout is varied and highly adjustable. The car must be evaluated for where it is to be raced and then set correctly. The trailing arm angles affect the rear steer, and the pullbar or lift arm can redistribute load upon acceleration.
Many teams will tell you that there is a need for rear end steer to the right at times. A slight amount of rear steer to the left would probably improve lap times during tight and tacky conditions. But the use of rear steer to the left should only occur on acceleration and not at midturn.
Pushrods and pullbars that move substantially and lift arms that are allowed to move are components that will help create more bite off the corners in dry and slick conditions.
Dirt car steering systems must be designed to work in both left- and right-turn attitudes. Effects such as Ackermann could be more beneficial on dirt than on asphalt, but again, only to a certain degree. The Ackermann must be developed in the design of the tie rods' angles from a top view and not by creating differences in steering arm length.
If you were to run different-length steering arms to create Ackermann, then turning one way would produce Ackermann and turning the other way would produce reverse Ackermann.
Alignment issues, such as rear end and driveshaft alignment, present just as serious a drawback for a dirt car as for an asphalt car. There is no reason to misalign the rear end. In tests we have participated in, we have run the same lap times with the car "sideways," due to excess rear steer, and when running it straight ahead with no rear steer.
I believe that, just as stated for an asphalt car, the rear end's alignment does not need to be different from 90 degrees to the centerline of the chassis and/or to the right-side tire contact patches, and those patches need to be in line, even on dirt.
It is very difficult to maintain a correct driveshaft alignment on a dirt car. We should nonetheless try to start out with something that is close to ideal. The commonly accepted rule is that the angles between the driveshaft and both the pinion shaft and the transmission output shaft need to be equal and in opposite directions.
The driveshaft doesn't "know" which view these angles are resulting from, just that they are equal and opposite. If we have a top-view differential in alignment between the engine (crankshaft and transmission output shaft) and the pinion shaft, and they are parallel, then the angle created by that misalignment may be sufficient to provide needed angular differentials.
A 1 1/2-inch misalignment with a 44-inch driveshaft results in a nearly 2-degree angle at the tranny and pinion shafts. The engine should always be aligned perpendicular to the rear end and/or parallel to the centerline of the car.
Does a dirt car really need to be balanced? Of course it does. The balance, though, will need to be adjusted for the track conditions. If the track is tacky, then we need to balance the car the way we would for asphalt, which means matching the desires of the front and rear suspensions.
The term balance means that each end of the car has its own moment arm length and resistance to roll, as well as other factors, and will desire to roll to its own angle in the turns. At midturn, each end will want to roll to its own degree of angle. The relationship between the desires of the two ends will determine the balance of the car.
Greatly unbalanced setups exhibit certain characteristics, such as an unusually high degree of wear and temperature, as well as wear on one tire versus the other tires and an unwillingness to turn the corner. The car will also have less bite off the corners, and the handling will not be consistent.
The best setup for slick tracks has a small imbalance in the front-to-rear relationship, with the rear desiring to roll more so than the front. This provides more rear traction to give us more bite off the corners. If our MC design is correct, the car should still turn through the middle but have better traction off the slick corners.
Research on shock influences on dirt have shown that there are a lot of gains to be had by concentrating on your shocks. This is evidenced by the influx of new designs of shocks into the dirt car market. Many top teams are experimenting with their shocks.
Dirt cars show a lot of travel as they negotiate the four turns. This extreme degree of wheel travel indicates that shocks on dirt cars get to do more of a job than those on asphalt cars. A shock cannot have much influence if it does not move.
Each corner of the car needs a different shock characteristic. The amount of difference is directly related to the installed motion ratio of the spring and the spring's rate and amount of motion. A very soft spring would need more compression rate and less rebound rate, whereas a stiff spring would need a lot of rebound rate and much less compression rate.
Turn entry on dirt is critical to how we are able to negotiate the turn, so we need to evaluate our turn-entry characteristics. Brake bias is a very important influence at this segment of the track. We may want to solve turn-entry problems with the brake bias on dirt.
Brake bias influence can easily be determined for any race car by entering the corner with medium-to-heavy braking first, and then entering with light braking to see if there is a difference in the car's attitude. If there is, try to adjust the brake bias to improve the entry condition.
Once you have made the entry better, check to see if your brake adjuster is centered. If it is too far to one side, then changes to the brake master cylinder sizes and/or the pad compounds may need to be made in order to solve the problem while maintaining a centered bias adjuster. Off-centered adjusters can be very inconsistent.
On dirt, when do we not need more bite off the corner? The exit portion of the track provides little traction, and most corners are usually more flat. We almost always need to develop more rear traction upon acceleration. To give the car more rear traction, we need to understand a little about the dynamics at work on the car.
We must develop ways to create more rear traction (on acceleration only) to avoid ruining our midturn handling. There are several ways to do that without changing the handling at other points around the racetrack. One way is to reduce the "shock" of sudden application of throttle and torque to the rear wheels.
We can use lift arms and pullbars with various stiffness of shocks and springs. More motion is needed for slick conditions and much less motion for the tackier conditions.
Another way to gain bite involves the use of a spring-loaded pushrod that allows a certain amount of right-rear wheel movement to steer the rear end more to the left. As the car accelerates, the right-rear wheel moves forward, creating a slight amount of rear steer to the left.
Antidive and antisquat are mechanical influences that can help our transitional phases of entry and exit. We can regulate the amount of both depending on the need.
A small amount of antidive on our dirt cars can help prevent sudden nosedive on entry by utilizing mechanical resistance to the downward motion of the suspension. We do this by using the rotational forces created through braking. Read the section named "The Anti's" in "Preparing for the New Season-Asphalt" (pg. 49) to learn more about how antidive works.
Antisquat is the result of the pullbar trying to straighten out, or become more horizontal, as the car accelerates and the rear end desires to rotate. The more pullbar angle you have, the more antisquat there is. The lift arm also creates antisquat and can actually lift the rear of the car on acceleration. Lateral movement of the lift arm's front end (a result of acceleration) can alter the loads among the two rear tires.
Racers discovered the need for better aero designs some years ago. Just look at the dirt Late Model cars and how they have evolved. The front ends are wedges that scoop the oncoming air up and over the car. The wheelwells are shaped to route air out and away from the front tires, creating downforce.
How much you need to get involved in aero for your car depends a lot on what you run and where. Aero influence varies with the speed of the vehicle. There is an algebraic increase in both drag and downforce associated with increases in speed through air. That is why a car with twice the horsepower does not go twice as fast.
Try to understand how aero downforce is created and then configure your car so that you take advantage of every area where you could produce more downforce.On dirt, we need the most loading on our tires we can get, and aero-generated load is not weight we have to accelerate.
Dirt is a tough medium for which to set up. Get your car set up correctly for the basics of alignment and geometry. Plan your approach to the track on which you intend to run. As with all forms of motor racing, remember that success comes in stages. Improving your finishes is where you start on the road to winning. Don't think that just the work done to improve the setup will quickly lead you to Victory Lane. Learning how to win is a process, and when the moment is right you will find your way to the winner's circle.

{{i18n|Installing Arch Linux from VirtualBox}}
Revision as of 17:42, 10 June 2011
This HOWTO will guide you through the process of installing Arch Linux from a host machine on a raw disk using VirtualBox. This method offers the ability to continue to work with the computer while installing.
Step 1: Install VirtualBox
See the detailed article VirtualBox for installation instructions. You have to install the PUEL edition.
Step 2: Creating a raw disk .vmdk image
In order to use a raw disk in VirtualBox, your user must have write rights for the device. There are two ways to achieve this: either by directly changing the access rights of the device or by adding your user to the disk group. The latter way is preferred. To do this, run:
# gpasswd -a user disk
Note: To apply the new group settings, you have to log out and log in again.
Now you must create a special .vmdk virtual machine disk file, so VirtualBox will save the data to a raw disk instead of the file. Let the file be saved in your user's VirtualBox directory, named raw.vmdk. You'll create it using this command:
$ VBoxManage internalcommands createrawvmdk -filename /home/user/.VirtualBox/VDI/raw.vmdk -rawdisk /dev/sdb -register
Where user is your user name and /dev/sdb is the device you want to install Archlinux on.
For more information on using raw host disks, see the VirtualBox user manual.
Step 3: Downloading an Archlinux install image
If you have a working Internet connection on your host machine, which you probably do, you should go for the FTP ISO image. Otherwise download the core image. To obtain the image, go to: http://archlinux.org/download/
Step 4: Creating a virtual machine
Start up the VirtualBox GUI and run the New Virtual Machine Wizard:
- Give the machine a name and choose Arch Linux for the operating system.
- Choose the amount of memory to be allocated to the machine. At least 160 MiB is needed.
- Select the raw.vmdk disk image.
- Click Finish.
Now go to File » Virtual Disk Manager and add the installation CD-ROM image you've downloaded. Close the window, go to the Settings of the virtual machine and choose the CD/DVD-ROM item on the left. Finally check the Mount CD/DVD Drive box, choose the ISO Image File option and select the installation media.
Step 5: Installing the system
The main part is behind you. You have prepared a virtual machine with mounted installation media. Remember that inside the virtual machine, your disk will be named /dev/sda. Now you can loosely continue with one of these guides:
It doesn't boot on real hardware!
This is most probably caused by the
autodetect hook in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf, which removes unneeded modules from the initramfs image. If you have this hook in that file, remove it from the file and run:
# mkinitcpio -p kernel26
to regenerate the initramfs image.

Bike Girl Goes To The Races
One thing Bike Girl has noticed in race after race, is how the females of the species are typically relegated to the most undesirable race times. In one criterium, Bike Girl's category was sent off on the course before it had been fully set up.
In yet another criterium, when Bike Girl was sadly defeated by the peloton and lapped, the race announcer repeatedly made sexist comments as she passed. The worst of which was, "Everyone loves a woman who will go all the way." While Bike Girl was glad the announcer realized she was not planning to quit the race, she was still offended. She flipped off the announcer, thereby becoming the new crowd favorite.
In another criterium, all 4 women's categories were put on the course at the same time, with two minutes of separation in the starts. So as Bike Girl's category had one lap to go and started sprinting into position for the final straightaway, her field was neutralized to allow a faster group to pass through, even though that field had several more minutes of racing to do. Of course the women in Bike Girl's category did not want to cross the finish line without a sprint, so it ignored the neutralization. When the whole cluster of confused ladies crossed the line, thankfully avoiding multiple near crashes, the race organizer could not tell which women were in which category, and many of the results were contested.
In women's races, multiple categories often race together. So in order to upgrade from Women's Cat 4, a lady must not only be faster than the other 4's, but the 3's as well. The 3's are then allowed to sandbag, beating up on the 4's as long as they like. The 3's are also welcome to enter races that included Women's Cat 1-2 and 3. So three categories are on the course at the same time. These women can either upgrade to 2 by beating a bunch of 3's and 4's, or they can struggle to upgrade by beating the 1's.
Race organizers have also been cutting women's races left and right. The reason cited is, "No women show up." Well, after how they are treated at the races, it is no wonder they don't show up.

It is typical of the female amateur racer, at least here in Southern California and in much of the U.S. If you want to make a change, write to your local race promoter, sign up some ladies to race, go to races and support ladies, and join clubs and teams that support racers of the fairer sex.

Great post. I've got my first triathlon out-of-state in July. It's just a C-Priority race, but I'm considering some bike races between that and my A-Priority race in October. Good to know what I'm up against.
It's so infuriating the treatment that we get, on the road and in races. We could at least be respected enough as competitors and paying registrants to have them organize the women's races properly.
Can't wait to hear more about your race experiences though. Thanks for fighting the good fight for women cyclists everywhere!

Sorry to hear about your experiences, Bike Girl. I often hear sexist comments, too.
If you can enter them, the collegiate SoCal races have a *much* more pleasant atmosphere than the "Elite" races (at least in the men's categories).
I don't think I agree that the women's races are relegated to the most undesirable times, though. This is my first year of racing, but it's been my experience that the Women's Cat X usually leave right before or after the Men's Cat X. Part of the problem might be that beginning racers (Women's Cat 4 and Men's Cat 5) do get the most undesirable times. One of the best parts of my D->C and 5->4 upgrades was getting to sleep in.
On that note, are you sure you have to win races to upgrade 4->3? At least for men, the 5->4 upgrade is automatic on completing 10 mass starts.
- June 3, 2010 at 4:10 PM
Uff, I didn't mean to sound so negative in my last comment! Hope you'll keep racing and telling us how it goes!

Jesus, what a disgrace. Just another reason to choose cycling alone and making up my own challenges. Sad though.

You are super brave! I am too shy about doing a local time trial, even though I signed up to USA cycling. Are you going to do the Manhattan Beach race this Sunday?

Bike Girl will not be at the MB Grand Prix. She is sadly quite out of shape. She may or may not choose to enter Brentwood next month.

Most of the benchmarks consider speed, some consider speed/Watt, but none I have seen consider speed/monetary cost. The reason is partly that the component cost is a highly variable parameter and not always easy to obtain. But while configuring a cluster remember that you can get a better deal (=speed/cost for your application) by choosing cheaper CPUs in larger quantities. Dan

True confessions of the world's busiest websites
Do not want fail? Why then, can has win, say the folks behind the curtains at Flickr, Digg, Media Temple, and StumbleUpon. Six of them showed up at a panel organized by Kevin Rose to explain how to make websites that stay online, more or less. Being a not very clever gossip, I just listened in for the quips. Oh, and the drama. Automattic founder Matt Mullenweg almost didn't make it. Check out how his fellow panelists updated the lineup right before he showed up.
Strikeout! Mullenweg showed up at the last minute. One wonders: Was the recently minted millionaire dealing with fallout from his nasty Twitter fight with Six Apart's Anil Dash? Or was he just calling his broker? (Mullenweg later told me he just went to the wrong green room.)
Flickr's Cal Henderson says "fuck" a lot, which would seem to come with his job. "I'm Cal Henderson from Flickr, the kitten-sharing website" is how he introduces himself. He admits that one Flickr breakdown came about when he failed to use a basic Linux utility, df, to measure if he had enough storage available — a problem when you serve terabytes of photos. Still, it's a good problem to have. "A lot of people can ignore scale forever," he notes — because they never get enough users to bring their site down. "We serve 32,000 photos a second," says Henderson.
"One of the things I don't like about Web 2.0 is you as users want your data to be available, to stay up forever," says Digg architect Joe Stump. "As an engineer, I hate that."
Most of the panelists favor open-source software and cheap hardware. "Buying enterprise means they don't put their prices on the Web," says Mullenweg, the creator of blogging software WordPress. "It means you have to talk to someone with slick-backed hair for 30 minutes. It's uncomfortable."
If you can get over that, says Henderson, "the easiest way to solve scaling problems is to throw money at it. When you're a startup and you don't pay your engineers, then engineering is cheap and hardware is expensive. If you're paying for engineering time, that's expensive."
Stump takes a question from Pownce creator Leah Culver: "Where do you find your bottlenecks?" Stump's answer: "Bottlenecks never have to do with your [programming] language." Henderson instantly retorts: "Unless you're using Ruby." (Ruby is the language used by Twitter, among others, and some blame it for Twitter's outages.) Stump's comeback: "It's always your database or your file system."
StumbleUpon's Garrett Camp suggests testing new features on a small set of your audience, rather than everyone at once, so you test under real conditions but don't afflict buggy code on all of your users at once.
"When we look at the site, we ask, 'What don't we have to do right now?'" says Digg's Stump. Avoiding real-time updates helps avoid bottlenecks. Henderson says Flickr sometimes shows photo pages that are a minute old — again, to minimize load on the site.
That's a rare moment of agreement between Henderson and Stump. The two are back to sparring in minutes. Henderson's comeback to an obscure point Stump makes: "I don't want to work at Digg." Stump then ribs him: "So, Cal, you're moving over to Microsoft technology soon, right?" "Yes, we're moving over to .NET and SQL Server," is Henderson's deadpan response. That's the last zinger before the show wraps up.

This article was very informative to help me conduct a PLC dealing with fluency.
Stages of Reading Development
The Stages of Reading Development is a continuum that explains how students progress as readers. These stages are based on the students' experience and not their age or grade level. Knowing these stages is helpful when developing materials for specific types of readers.
Emergent readers need enriching and enjoyable experiences with books, especially picture books. Students can become comfortable with books even before they can read independently—recognizing letters and words and even language patterns. They are able to work with concepts of print and are at the beginning stages of developing the ability to focus attention on letter-sound relationships. Sharing books over and over, extending stories, relating experiences to both print and pictures, and guiding students to "read," helps children begin to make predictions about what they are reading.
Early readers are able to use several strategies to predict a word, often using pictures to confirm predictions. They can discuss the background of the story to better understand the actions in the story and the message the story carries. It is this time in the reader's development that the cueing systems are called upon significantly, so they must pay close attention to the visual cues and language patterns, and read for meaning. It is a time when reading habits of risk-taking, and of predicting and confirming words while keeping the meaning in mind are established.
Transitional readers often like to read books in a series as a comprehension strategy; the shared characters, settings, and events support their reading development. They read at a good pace; reading rate is one sign of a child's over-all comprehension. At this stage, children generally have strategies to figure out most words but continue to need help with understanding increasingly more difficult text.
Fluent readers are confident in their understandings of text and how text works, and they are reading independently. The teacher focuses on students' competence in using strategies to integrate the cueing systems. Students are maintaining meaning through longer and more complex stretches of language. An effective reader has come to understand text as something that influences people's ideas.

I particularly liked this article because it gave me insight into my children's reading ability and that both are where they need to be. Of course this was also helpful information as a teacher.
I shared this with a parent and the article is making a difference in how she approaches reading with her children.
I found this explanation to be clear and very informative.
This article was helpful on a personal and professional base. I have an emerging reader, through reading this article I understand why he looks at the picture so much while trying to decipher words. For my transitional reader, I was happy to find out that her current choice of literature Diary of a Wimpy kid and the Jessie series, are exactly what she needs to be reading.

Sanuk Surfing America Prime presented by Got Milk?
Huntington Beach Pier, March 17 & 18, 2012
We acquire the strength we have overcome.—Ralph Waldo Emerson
The Sanuk Surfing America Prime presented by Got Milk? at the Huntington Beach Pier last weekend was cold, windy and scary!
The Huntington Beach experience started pleasantly enough on Wednesday in perfect hollow peaks with the beginning of a three-day PacSun USA Surf Team training camp. The team members rotated through three coaching segments. The first was led by Head Coach, Ian "Kanga" Cairns, coaching on proper technique. The second was with Assistant Coach, Sean Mattison, who coached the kids on heat strategy and management. The final segment was led by Guest Coach and Legend, Jim Hogan, who worked with the team on much needed "offensive and defensive hassling skills." Jim went into the water with the team members to demonstrate first-hand his legendary skill in intimidating and dominating competitors despite his small size. Jim flew up from tropical Costa Rica to work with the team and was ill prepared for the 53° water. Thanks to Greg Wade from XCEL Wetsuits for flowing Jim a toasty new 4/3 wetsuit and booties as Jim was near hypothermic in his borrowed 1.5 mil fullsuit!
In addition to three hard days of training, the team took the opportunity to bond, breaking bread at Duke's on the Pier and Wahoo's Fish Tacos on Main Street. Thursday night they went to K1 Speed in Irvine for a spirited team building session of cart racing. Once a competitor, always a competitor, big wave hellman Pete Mel took the win in the race, and Coach Kanga and Surfing America Executive Director, Greg Cruse, battled it out for 5th and 6th (out of 16) with Cruse just edging him out for 5th and Kanga ending up with dislocated ribs due to a "bump" by Cruse. Griffin Colapinto was the star of the highlight reel ramming into Pete Mel's stalled cart at speed catapulting him over Mel's head and crashing into the barriers.
With the training sessions completed it was on to the Sanuk Surfing America Prime presented by Got Milk? on Saturday. The weather forecast was not promising. After consulting with lifeguards regarding safety and water quality it was determined the show would go on. Saturday, competitors were greeted with south winds and rain, but it didn't deter them in the head high wind slop. A micro burst of wind and heavy rain swept through the beach around 11:00 am with driving horizontal rain that obscured the judge's view. The competition was postponed for twenty minutes until it passed and resumed without incident the rest of the day.
We expected a few showers and a stubborn south wind on Sunday, but instead, the jet stream decided to dive south right over Huntington Beach with 40 kt WNW winds driving 6 – 10 foot close interval wind swell and a 30 mph lateral drift. All the competitors were checking the surf wondering how they could tackle the difficult conditions. Could they even make it outside and stay in the competition area with the strong north to south current? The question was answered as 3 time world champion, Tom Curren, there to support his sons Frank and Pat who were surfing in the event, paddled to the outside and took off on a bomb set and demolished it all the way from the outside. It was on. Of course, the first heat of the morning was a Boys U14 qualifier heat into the round of 16. Sean Wood, Nick Melanson, Zach McCormick and Sebastian Mendes and their parents were rightfully a bit nervous about the conditions, but after a meeting on the beach with Coach Kanga, explaining a strategy for the conditions, they were a bit more at ease and ready to surf. He advised them to paddle out next to pier as far as they could and then take an inside left that peeled against the grain of the current and then get out to run back to the pier to do it again. It worked, as the boys got numerous good scores and we were off and running for 10 hours of wild surf action. The wind increased throughout the day, drying out the sand from the previous days rain and eventually sending it airborne into a persistent sand-blasting maelstrom.
It was difficult, but the competitors got through it, and came away stoked on the inner strength they summoned to overcome the adverse conditions. Coach Kanga summed it up with this, "This weekend was more a test of character and intestinal fortitude and an overwhelming desire to succeed."
The final west coast Surfing America Prime event of the season will be April 28 & 29 at DMJs on Camp Pendleton. Let's hope conditions are a little mellower!—Greg Cruse/Surfing America

Is the week over already? It seems like only a moment ago I was seated at a beautifully appointed table with many like-minded people, sharing stories over an incredibly delicious roast pig! And now, I am at my desk, at the end of another week, winded by work, but satisfied still that I give it my best every day. Little by little I will stretch out of my "work-week" speed and slow down as I approach the weekend, a time that I always seem to be longing for. I think everybody deserves a spot of spoiling ourselves during the weekend, don't you? Whether that means a flurry of parties, a day at the spa, or simply sleeping in shamelessly…this weekend, please indulge yourself! You deserve it and so do I! 🙂
Now, before I burrow into the obscurity of my duvet (taking a couple of books and a bottle of Brunette with me) I will leave you with something to think about. The next theme of Hay Hay it's Donna Day!!! (and hopefully you will all be thinking about what your entries will be!)
As I've mentioned here, I am hosting this round of HHDD – having won the last round for my Chai Yogurt! Hay Hay it's Donna Day is a food blogging event created by Barbara of Winos and Foodies, and is now under the auspices of Bron of Bronmarshall.com. HHDD is without a doubt the blog event that I participate in the most! Why? Because I am an absolute, unabashed, dorky, fangirl of the marvellous Ms. Hay!
I've decided to go with simple this round as I'm sure many of you are preparing for Thanksgiving and the other upcoming holidays. I also wanted something that could be adapted in many ways and incorporated into many meals…to avoid waste and all 😉 So this round we'll be making PESTO!
Rough Chop Basil Pesto
(from Donna Hay Magazine, issue 35, page 104)
- 1 cup roughly chopped basil leaves
- 2 tablespoons roughly chopped toasted pine nuts
- 1 clove garlic, crushed
- 1/4 cup finely grated parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- Sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper
- 3/4 cup olive oil
– Place the basil, pine nuts, garlic, parmesan, lemon zest, salt, pepper, and oil in a bowl and stir to combine.
– Makes one cup.
This is a very basic pesto recipe done without a food processor so I figure everyone can do this! Having used some sort of processor for all the pesto I have ever made, this was new to me. I have to say I liked its coarse and chunky texture very much! The flavours of the ingredients were more pronounced individually then in the usually paste-like pestos I make. I had some with pasta (excellent!) and it was fantastic dribbled on some store-bought rotisserie chicken!
Please feel free to take this theme and run with it in whichever way fate takes you! You can make modifications to this recipe OR you can make your own pesto recipes using whatever ingredients you want OR you can incorporate this pesto into another dish OR you can make a dish that involves pesto…in which case please have the pesto play an important role in the dish as a whole! Donna has made many versions of pesto herself – aside from regular basil, she's used coriander, capers, rocket, spring/green onion, mint, and olive! This doesn't even include the dishes she's made that use pesto!
As with all HHDD rounds, here are the guidelines:
– Hay Hay it's Donna Day is open to all food and wine bloggers.
– Entries submitted for HHDD must be made specifically for the current round of this event, although photos may be submitted to photo competitions such as "Does My Blog Look Good In This."
– The host (that's me!) will select, make and post an original Donna Hay recipe without any changes (all done!). Participants may make that exact same recipe as is, or put their own spin on the recipe by altering the ingredients whilst remaining with the theme. Or if they prefer participants may share a well loved recipe within the same theme.
– Participants must include a link to the host and the facilitator (that's bronmarshall.com) in their entry post.
– Entries can be made at any time once the event has been announced, but must be posted and emailed to the host by the closing date.
– I will then assemble all your entries together into a roundup, from where the participants of the round vote to elect a new host for the following event.
Deadline for all posts to be up and submitted is December 12, 2008. I will be posting the round up about a week after that, after which voting will begin!
Please email all your entries to eighty_breakfasts[AT]yahoo[DOT]com. In your email, please include the following information: your blog name, your name, your location, your recipe name, and the permalink to your entry.
So go and pesto yourselves silly! And when you're done, take a photo and send me the link 🙂 Happy weekend everyone!

Intel Core i5-3470 Ivy Bridge Processor and HD 2500 Graphics Review
A slightly lower cost Ivy Bridge
Just a couple of short months ago, Intel released the desktop versions of its latest CPU architecture codenamed Ivy Bridge – and officially named the Intel 3rd Generation Core Processor. Ivy Bridge has a much cleaner sound to it if you ask me.
At launch, we tested and reviewed the highest-end offering, the Core i7-3770K, a quad-core HyperThreaded part that runs as fast as 3.9 GHz with Turbo Boost. It included the highest end processor graphics Intel has developed – the HD 4000. Currently selling for only $350, the i7-3770K is a fantastic processor, but isn't the bargain that many DIY PC builders are looking for. The new Core i5-3470 from Intel – the processor we are reviewing today – might be just that.
I am not going to spend time discussing the upgrades and benefits that the new Ivy Bridge processors offer over their predecessors, or the competition, from an architectural stand point. If you want some background on Ivy Bridge and why it does what it does, you'll want to read the first few pages of our original Core i7-3770K / Ivy Bridge review from April.
The Core i5-3470 Processor
Interestingly, in the initial information from Intel about the Ivy Bridge processor lineup, the Core i5-3470 wasn't even on the list. There was a 3450 and 3550, but nothing in between. The Core i5-3470 currently sells for about $200 and compares with some other Ivy Bridge processors with the following specifications:
Continue reading our review of the Intel Core i5-3470 Ivy Bridge and HD 2500 Processor!!
Compared to the high end Core i7-3770K, the new Core i5-3470 removes the HyperThreading capability as well as the ability to overclock freely with unlocked multipliers. The L3 cache is a bit smaller at 6MB rather than 8MB though all three parts listed above maintain the 77 watt TDP.
The graphics (iGPU) is another shift from the 3770K – the Core i5-3470 utilizes the HD 2500 graphics system rather than the (faster) HD 4000.
The HD 2500 processor graphics implementation uses 6 EUs (execution units) rather than the 16 found in the HD 4000 parts. It is somewhat comparable to the performance found in the Sandy Bridge processors' HD 2000 configuration. With upgrades in DirectX support and OpenGL support though this iteration should be more compatible, and at least modestly better at gaming, with the architectural changes made to the GPU portion.
For our testing today, we are going to see just how fast both the CPU and GPU portion of the Core i5-3470 can be compared to your options in today's CPU market.
Video News
The most compelling use of the HD4000 graphics is in the mid to low end segment. OEM's may disagree but I think that Intel forgets that they can compete with AMD and Nvidia on the low end discreet GPU segment if they just put their best foot forward.
We are still waiting for their sub $200 chips. Now if they could just marry the great x86 performance with HD4000 (or better...).
If I had to guess, they won't pair their sub-$200 chips with the better HD400 graphics :(
That is a pretty good guess.
The decision to not do so makes me want to smash 300mm wafers over CEO's heads.
I don't understand, is it just me or do most review sites always give awards now days. To me the simple fact that the 2600K is still avalible for about the same price would make this a no-award product.
Quote : "Still, the Core i5-3470 would make a solid low cost processor for users looking to build a reasonable cost machine for some mainstream gaming and general enthusiast computing."
If I'm buying a cpu for mainstream gaming and general enthusiast computing I'm not buying a processor with a locked multiplier.
Love the site, keep it up!
Comparison to Ivy i5 3570k in benchmarks, wrap-up?
Why does Intel still sell HD2500 in their chips? Tired of Intel hashing up older GPU architecture just to satisfy price points.
Does this chip matter that much when the i5-3550 already exists? Very small differences between the two chips, and only a $5 difference on Newegg. (A promo right now actually makes the 3550 even cheaper).
I was excited when I first heard about this chip... but now I think it's just another unnecessary SKU.
Is the intel core i3 cpu& intel hd graphic suitable for cfd code in fortran?
what about fluent 6.3?
Eh man yo check it yo! I got this Intel stuff from Intel since I am a partner yo! And I can sale it at half price. I got i7's for $500 and Intel i5's for $400 and i3's for $350 yo! That's cheaper than you ever get it at old egg yo!
If someone offered to trade me a i7 2600K for my i5 3470 I would say NO! I would rather have the new features such as PCIe 3.0 and ect. Yes the hyper threads may put the 2600K a little bit above my 3470, But those are just benchmark applications that have nothing to do with any real applications or with gaming. I was very happy to get this chip to replace my older but still lively i5 750, I only paid a total of $260 for the CPU and a Z77 motherboard, That is unbeatable price/performance. And I was surprised of how much cooler the i5 3470 runs compared to the i5 750 after hearing about Intel's mistake of using bad paste between the CPU and the thermal contact plate for the heatsink, But overclocked to 3.8ghz I get 28c-30c idle and 60c running the prime95 test, And this is just the stock cooler. However I have a thing I always do while installing a heatsink, When I place a pre-applied paste heatsink on a CPU I move it very very slightly left and right and up and down, (very slightly) When I do that it always seems to make a world of difference on the temps.

Product Overview
Hornady Superformance ammunition is loaded with proprietary propellants that increase the velocity ratings up to 200 feet per second compared to other popular brands. Because there is no increase in pressure, regardless of the caliber, there is no increase in felt recoil but there IS an increase in efficiency and high speed performance. From sub-zero arctic temperatures to almost unbearable desert heat, Superformance ammunition can withstand any hunting terrain.
Loaded with Hornady's 165 Grain InterBond Bullet that features a proprietary bonding process that holds the thicker, stiffer jacket and core together for 90%+ weight retention. They deliver deep penetration and a destructive wound channel for premium performance at a great price. The polymer tip easily improves performance and immediately expands to more than twice their diameter for maximum energy transfer. This ammunition is new production, non-corrosive, in boxer primed, reloadable brass cases.

In an unprecedented upset at the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops' November general assembly in Baltimore, a "surprised and humbled" Archbishop Timothy Dolan of New York displaced the conference vice president, Bishop Gerald Kicanas of Tucson, to become the next president of the U.S.C.C.B. It took three rounds of voting before Archbishop Dolan was elected, 128 to 111. The shock in the hall after the vote was palpable.
The surprise victory was the first time in decades that a sitting vice president on the ballot did not win the election for the three-year term as president. In only two other elections since the reorganization of the conference in 1966 did circumstances prevent the vice president from ascending to the presidency. In 1974 Archbishop Leo C. Byrne of St. Paul and Minneapolis died less than a month before his term as vice president ended. Three years later, Cardinal John J. Carberry of St. Louis declined to run for the top spot because he was 73 years old and due to retire.
Elected vice president was Archbishop Joseph Kurtz of Louisville, who won in another third-ballot runoff, 147 to 91, over Archbishop Charles Chaput, O.F.M.Cap., of Denver. The two votes suggest the U.S.C.C.B. will continue to take a role in U.S. culture wars over gay marriage and abortion. The results could also mean a stronger conservative voice in the voters' guide that will be published in preparation for the 2012 national elections.
In the weeks leading up to the election, conservative Catholic bloggers and news sites were demanding the defeat of Bishop Kicanas, and e-mail messages and faxes to that effect were apparently piling up in the bishops' hotel rooms in Baltimore. The Tucson bishop has been attacked by both advocates for survivors of sexual abuse by priests and from Catholic conservatives. The latter perceived him as too conciliatory to pro-choice Catholic politicians.
A handful of bloggers also suggested he had been negligent as rector of the Archdiocese of Chicago's Mundelein Seminary in 1992 when incidents were reported about Daniel McCormack, then a seminarian. Years later, as a diocesan priest, McCormack molested a number of children. Bishop Kicanas made a vigorous defense of his supervision of McCormack, but according to one conference observer, the media campaign was enough to create doubts among some bishops.
Archbishop Dolan brushed aside concerns about outside agitation around the election, noting that bishops do not "run for office," but are chosen by their brother bishops. He suggested that in any event few bishops would be moved by such efforts.
"We take our autonomy very seriously," Archbishop Dolan said. "I think the bishops bristle usually if they feel any undue pressure from outside." He added that it was an indication of how seriously the bishops appreciate their responsibility at the general assembly that they did not wish to vote a "shoo-in" into the job as conference president. Bishop Roger P. Morin of Biloxi, Miss., agreed that the election marked an attempt to change the process. "There's been some question as to whether the vice president should automatically be elected," he said.
Archbishop Dolan said that he intended no dramatic redirection for the U.S.C.C.B. "Our positions and priorities are basically inherited," he said. Archbishop Dolan added that pundits like to classify bishops according to their attentiveness to social justice issues or a keener interest in abortion and gay marriage. "But we bishops see those as part of a package deal and we don't feel that cleavage between the two." On the "essentials" of the faith, he said, all the bishops agree.
In a statement released after the election, Bishop Kicanas said that he respected the wisdom of his "brother bishops in choosing their new president and vice president." He added, "Archbishop Timothy Dolan has been a longtime friend since our seminary work together. I know of his great wit, jovial spirit, keen ability to relate to people in a deeply personal way and his exceptional leadership qualities. These will certainly serve the conference well as he begins his term as president."
Bishop Kicanas has been selected by the outgoing U.S.C.C.B. president, Cardinal Francis George of Chicago, to succeed Archbishop Dolan as chairman of Catholic Relief Services, a position the archbishop had to vacate upon his election.

These images may look like Christmas lights, but they were created simply by holding a camera on long exposure while walking on the beach at dusk. If you just wave the camera around, the patterns are uninteresting, because they have little cohesion, but just walking straight created unexpectedly interesting results.
They remind me of high school physics, when we learned about cycloids by attaching a light to a bicycle tire. The walking images are more regular than I expected, but also far more convoluted than a cycloid. Just as the hidden motion of the tire was revealed in that experiment, these images must show something fundamental about walking. I'm just not sure what.

I remember Picasso doing something like this with light except he made images. Did you use a digital camera? Is that possible?

Yes, this was with a digital camera. I just used a long exposure.

Again, we met at a local bikeshop, RE Bicicletas, and again only a small number of riders showed up for the planned ride to Cristo Redentor. The bunch from WT Coaching had also planned to meet the bunch from Zona Sul (Southern Zone), which leaves from an area North of Barra. OK, that sounds peculiar but Rio is a peculiar place.
The ride was what I wanted to do, with lots of climbing through verdant coastal rain forest, the Mata Atlantica, and beautiful views of this great city. I think it would be one of those rides I would be doing twice a week if I lived in Rio, again.
I hope the photos give a good idea of the ride - the bling - and the places in Rio de Janeiro. It was, probably, the last one for this trip - lots of things to do and people to meet - but one that was perfect as the last ride of a year full of fantastic rides with lots of great people.
Time: 2 h 50 min
Dist: 55km
Asce: 1245m
From Rio, I wish you all a terrific 2011!
Obrigado a todos,

• The incomes of Indian rural residents are significantly lower than urban residents. The average revenue per user (ARPU) for rural residents was typically less than US$2 per month.
• Besides deploying a scalable network, Bharti Airtel also needed to establish a cost-effective marketing, sales, and distribution channel to provide service promotion and customer support.
• The future growth of the Indian mobile market is expected to be driven by rural customers, which account for about 70 percent of the country's total population (1.1 billion people) with a teledensity of only 18.5 percent as of September 2009. Indian urban mobile penetration is already over 100 percent.
• Rural dwellers place a high value on communications. Contacting urban/overseas relatives and friends often requires a long and sometimes treacherous trip to the nearest town to reach a payphone.
• Various studies (e.g., fishermen in the Indian state of Kerala and grain producers in Niger) have shown that increased mobile service penetration in rural areas could have tremendous socio-economic benefits for the rural population.
• With its strong presence in the relatively untapped rural market (over 27 percent market share as of September 2009), Bharti Airtel is well-placed to continue growth with its focus on under-penetrated Indian regions with new revenue streams such 3G-enabled data services and pay-TV.
• Bharti Airtel has launched microfinancing agreements in collaboration with Nokia and SKS Micro-finance. Under these partnerships, Bharti provides subsidized tariffs and subscriber identity module (SIM) cards to rural users, Nokia provides subsidized handsets, and SKS offers microfinancing.
• To expand coverage into rural regions, Bharti Airtel is sharing passive infrastructure services with Vodafone (42 percent ownership) and Idea (16 percent ownership) through its joint venture, Indus Towers. Sharing the infrastructure cost and usage between multiple operators has helped Bharti Airtel to reduce its operating and capital expenses.
• Bharti Airtel also formed a joint venture with the Indian Farmers Fertilizer Cooperative Limited (IFFCO). Its joint venture, IFFCO Kisan Sanchar, uses IFFCO's wide rural presence (present in 80 percent of Indian villages) and appeal among the rural agricultural community to market and distribute Bharti's products.
• IFFCO Kisan Sanchar provides subsidized handsets and connections at competitive rates in rural areas. It also helps Bharti Airtel to identify and acquire suitable locations for deploying its cell sites. In addition, it offers tailored services including voice-based updates on crop prices, farming techniques, rural health initiatives, and "help line" services.
• Bharti Airtel has adopted the strategy of direct communications to market its value proposition to rural customers. To make its services accessible, the company provides all of its marketing content in local languages. Vans are used to cover rural areas with staff who educate locals about mobile services and usage.
• The company has developed a shared phone service called Public Call Offices (PCOs) in rural regions to increase awareness about its brand and services.
• Bharti Airtel Service Centers have been set up in villages to address customer queries and complaints as well as act as sales and distribution points. These centers employ local people and offer sales and customer services using local dialects.
• Bharti Airtel has already established over 18,000 service centers in rural India, covering over 400 languages and local dialects. The company plans to expand this network.
Success Factors/Metrics/Monetization
• As of April 2010, Bharti Airtel's network covered 440,000 villages in India, which, together with its urban services, accounted for coverage of approximately 84 percent of India's total population.
• As of March 31, 2010, Bharti Airtel had added 9 million new customers to reach a total of 128 million connections. Ovum estimates that rural users accounted for 60 percent of the company's net subscriber adds in that quarter.
• Despite Bharti Airetel's overall ARPU of just under $5, its mobile division's earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) margin was approximately 30 percent, and its earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) margin was approximately 19 percent, which indicate a healthy return on overall (including significant rural) investments.

I have Ubuntu 10.10 installed on a machine for my parents. The thing is they never request updates from Update Manager even the manager itself prompted them so. Moreover, when they are done with whatever they are doing on Ubuntu, they always leave the computer on. And I always have to come back and shut the machine down. Sometimes, the computer even sit idle for hours.
So I want to know whether this is possible in Ubuntu. I am thinking of a script that will be activated after the machine is idle for x minutes. When x minutes have elapsed, Update Manager will automatically update everything listed. (I recall that you need the admin password for this, so is there a workaround?) After all the updates are done, the machine will automatically shutdown.
Is this possible?
