Cory Pant Took Top Honors With His '74 Duster
The Next Generation
There could be only one high-points winner at the '01 Mopar Nationals, and when the staff completed the Young Guns judging, Cory Pant and his modified '74 Plymouth Duster came out on top. Cory's project began at the impressionable age of 15 when he purchased the A-Body from his uncle for $100. At the time, Cory says his stepdad drove it a few times until the garage was ready, then they spent the next 3 1/2 years resurrecting the Duster. Here's how he did it.
How I Built My Hot Rod as told by Cory Pant
Once we began work on the car, after school I would come home and head straight for the garage. Nights, weekends, and any after-work free time was spent working on the Duster, and it didn't really look too bad until the body came home from the media blaster. Since the Duster lived its entire life in Michigan, 23 years of harsh weather had taken its toll. Wow, I thought I wouldn't be able to fix it, it looked that bad. After the initial shock wore off, though, I realized I could afford to put some time and money into it.
First on the list was replacing the rotted pieces of sheetmetal with new stuff. After all, since it isn't very cool to have your feet hitting the road while you're driving, both front floorpans were replaced. The exterior sheetmetal was also in need of attention, so we also replaced the driver-side front inner fender, the passenger-side door post, as well as the entire trunk floor and both rear quarter-panels. Finally, we decided to replace the taillight panel since it was showing a little rust as well. I initially decided to build the car for racing, so I added a fiberglass hood and bumpers at this time. Once all of the metal repairs were made, I sent the body to KN Enterprises in Schoolcraft, Michigan, to be covered in a Deep Amethyst base/clear paint.
Originally, the car had a cream-colored interior, and since I was building what I wanted, I changed that to black. I had Jack Moore of Sturgis, Michigan, re-cover the seats and door panels with a black/gray combination of cloth, then install new black carpeting as well as a fresh headliner. A custom dash panel built by myself rests in the factory location and houses Autometer gauges. Since good tunes are a must, I installed a Clarion stereo with a CD player and Clarion speakers. To finish off the interior, a Grant steering wheel was added, and for safety, a six-point rollbar encompasses the cockpit. For fun, I added lights behind the 340 numbers inside the hoodscoop.
To power the Duster, a 340 block was given to Hi-Rev Machine in Granger, Indiana, where it was bored .030 over to produce 348 ci. I then assembled it myself using the stock rods and crankshaft, building up the compression using Wiseco 10.5:1 forged pistons. The aluminum Edelbrock heads pull fuel from the 750 Dominator carburetor through an Edelbrock Torker II intake.
The transmission is a Coan Engineering- built 727 with a quick draw 3,500-stall converter, which connects to the 8 3/4-inch rear stuffed with 4.30 Richmond gears. The tire-and-wheel combo consists of Ultra Wheels measuring 15×7 in the front wrapped in M/T Sportsmans and the rear Ultras are 15×10 with 26×11.5 Hoosier Quick Time Pros.
When the car was completed, I realized it was too nice to pound the quarter-mile in constantly, but this doesn't mean it hasn't seen the track. The best time to date is 12.2 at 111 mph. The sole purpose of my car is for enjoyment. Whether I go to the track, a car show, or a cruise night, I do it because I enjoy the hobby of cars.

Swimming Pool Blog

Save Money at the Pool Pump - Reduce your Energy Use
A pool pump is the heart of your swimming pool. It keeps the pool water circulating so that the filter can clean and to spread chemicals around the pool. It is also one of the most costly in terms of your utility bill. It is not uncommon for a pool pump to account for up to 20% of a household utility bill. That is a great deal of money to spend circulating your pool water, but don't worry, there are steps you can take that will save your hard earned money.
Having a single speed pool pump is a huge drain on your wallet. It's a bit like driving your car. You might occasionally need to put the pedal to the metal to merge with high-speed traffic but if you drove like that all the time you'd be wasting gas and damaging your car. It's the same idea with a pool pump. Your pump doesn't need to run full blast to perform most of it's duties, but with a single speed pump that is exactly what it is doing.
While there are steps you can take such as using a timer on an Energy Efficient Single Speed Pump, it is still unnecessarily using all of your pool pumps power when it's on - wasting energy and your money. This method also runs the risk of leaving your pool with dull, hazy, or cloudy water and could result in algae blooms if you don't run your filter for long enough.
Variable Speed Pumps
The very best way for you to minimize your utility bill and energy footprint is to use a Variable Speed Pump such as the Pentair Intelliflo VS (Variable Speed), the Jandy ePump, or the TriStar Variable Speed Pump. These pumps will vary their speed and power according to the task at hand. They will operate at low speeds for tasks that don't require much power, such as filtering the pool water, while cranking up the GPM's for tasks that require more power like running the heater, pool cleaner or a water fountain.
Running the pump at lower speeds will use far less energy and reduces wear and tear on your pool filter system. If you own a newer single speed pump you can simply replace the existing motor with a variable speed motor.
Variable speed pumps like the Pentair Intelliflo and the Jandy ePump have their own controllers, no need to install a separate time clock. You can use one of the pre-programmed set-ups, or custom configure to run the pump, heater, fountains, spa, etc. - at any time you want.
Some may be turned off by the price tag of newer Variable Speed Pumps but the savings come in a drastically reduced utility bill. Depending on your area, single speed inground pool pumps can cost up to $1000 ormore in electricity per year, while someone down the block, using a Variable Speed Pump could be paying only $250 per year on their utility bill!
Depending on your location, you can literally save 2-5 dollars per day of operation by using a VS pump. Variable Speed Pumps start paying dividends immediately and will pay for itself in just a few pool seasons. With energy costs constantly rising, it only makes sense to make a small investment up front so you don't end up losing big down the road.
Dual Speed Pumps
A dual speed pump is another good way to reduce your energy usage. While it won't offer all the bells and whistles of a newer Variable Speed Pump, it does at least give you the option of running your pump at a very slow speed when you choose. They will only come with two options, high or low power. The low power option is generally 1/8 hp.
The idea is to find the least amount of time you can run your pump at high speed while still maintaining crystal clear water. For most people, they run a 2-speed pump on high for just 2-4 hours daily on high, and then run 12-18 hours on low speed.
Dual speed pump systems require a special timer to be installed, which generally runs about $200. One of the most popular timers for dual speed pumps is the IntermaticT106. If you have an existing Intermatic time clock, you can simply replace your timer guts with a T106M mechanism. Then you can run the fourth wire needed for a 2 speed pool pump.The Intermatic PE153 digital timeclock is also able to run a dual speed pump system.
Additional Tips
There are a few things you can do to keep your utility bill as low as possible no matter what kind of pump system you have. One great way is to run your pump during off peak hours, while there is less electricity in demand. This is generally between 8 p.m. and 10 a.m.
Adding the Intermatic Seasonality Timer is also a great way to reduce your energy usage.This timer is set up to run your pool filter longer during the peak summer months, while shortening the run time during the colder months for maximum energy efficiency.
In today's economy pretty much everyone is trying to save some money where they can. Investing in an energy efficient pool pump or making a few routine adjustments is a great way to minimize your utility bill and reduce the energy footprint of your swimming pool.

Mark had to work today, and it's always dangerous to leave me by myself on a Saturday. Out came the to-be-tried recipe lists, and when all was said-and-done, I had put three cardamom cookie recipes through the ringer - Chai Sugar Cookies, Chai Shortbread (naked and chocolate-dipped ... the chocolate-dipped was my own brain-child), and Sparkling Cardamom Cocoa Drops. But I don't want to overwhelm you with my new love, so I'll introduce you to it slowly - starting with the Chai Sugar Cookies. (Side note: My unofficial "official" tasters need to prepare themselves for a tasting care package - you know who you are!)
For the Chai Sugar Cookies, you start with the same-ol'-same-ol' stuff you'd think of for a sugar cookie - butter, sugar, eggs, flour, - but then you add this wonderful combination of spices that makes chai chai:
|The chai line-up ... vanilla, cinnamon, cloves, cardamom, & black pepper.
|Yummy little chai sugar balls.
... bake 'em up, and enjoy! ... perhaps with a cup of chai tea.
|Aren't those crackled tops pretty?
Chai Sugar Cookies
Source: Adapted from McCormick Gourmet
(Printable recipe)
2 3/4 c. flour
2 tsp. cream of tartar
1 tsp. baking soda
3/4 tsp. ground cardamom
3/4 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp. ground cloves
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. black pepper (I used 20 cranks of freshly ground pepper from my pepper mill)
1 c. (2 sticks) butter, softened
1 1/2 c. granulated sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
Additional granulated sugar for rolling
1. Mix first 8 ingredients (flour through black pepper) in a medium bowl; set aside.
2. Beat butter and 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Gradually add flour mixture, on low speed of mixer, until well mixed. Cover and refrigerate about 2 hours, or until dough is firm and easy to handle.
3. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Shape dough into 1-inch balls; roll in additional sugar. Place balls about 2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets. Bake 6-8 minutes, or until lightly browned. Cool on baking sheets 1 minutes. Remove to wire racks and cool completely.

JETS: New York trades Darrelle Revis to Tampa Bay Buccaneers
NEW YORK -- Revis Island is relocating to Tampa Bay.
The New York Jets have traded star cornerback Darrelle Revis to the Buccaneers for this year's No. 13 overall draft pick and another selection next year.
The Buccaneers announced the deal Sunday, saying Revis agreed to a new six-year contract. Revis' agents Neil Schwartz and Jon Feinsod confirmed the deal is worth $96 million, with no guaranteed money, but makes him one of the highest-paid defensive players in the NFL. It includes $1.5 million annually in both roster and workout bonuses.
The Jets also receive a conditional fourth-round pick in next year's draft that will become a third-rounder if Revis is on the Buccaneers' roster on the third day of the 2014 league year.
Revis arrived in Tampa on Sunday to take a physical with the Buccaneers, who wanted to check out his surgically repaired left knee. He passed the physical and then agreed to contract terms with the Bucs, who then completed the deal with the Jets.
The front page of the Buccaneers' official website posted a big picture of Revis in what appears to be a Tampa Bay jersey with the words: "Treasure Island. Darrelle Revis (CB). It's a Bucs Life."
Tampa Bay opens the season at -- that's right -- the Jets.
Trade talk has been swirling for months involving Revis, with the Buccaneers thought all along to be the most serious suitor.
Coach Rex Ryan's Jets currently have the ninth overall pick in the draft that starts Thursday, and now the 13th pick, so new general manager John Idzik will be busy early in the first round.
The trade leaves Antonio Cromartie as the Jets' top cornerback, a role he flourished in last season with Revis sidelined by a knee injury. And 2010 first-rounder Kyle Wilson mostly likely would be stepping in as the other starter.
The Jets could also target a cornerback -- perhaps Alabama's Dee Milliner or Florida State's Xavier Rhodes -- in the first round.
For the Bucs, adding Revis improves a secondary that already includes cornerback Eric Wright and safeties Mark Barron and recently signed Dashon Goldson. Tampa Bay finished last in pass defense last season.
The 27-year-old Revis was entering the last season of his four-year contract signed in 2010, but was looking for a big payday that would make him one of the highest-paid defensive players in the league. A clause in that deal prevented the Jets from using the franchise or transition tag on him next year, so if he likely would have become a free agent in 2014.
As the Jets weighed whether to try to sign him to a contract extension, lose him to free agency next offseason or deal him for high draft picks, Revis was the subject of rampant trade rumors since last season ended. Complicating things was the fact Revis is coming off a serious injury. Revis tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee last September against Miami, and underwent surgery the next month. He has been rehabbing since, and has indicated in interviews he expects to be ready for the start of the regular season.
Against his former team.

It simply encourages too much spam, too much junk connections, and too much noise, making your Twitter stream, and especially your direct message inbox very difficult (if not impossible) to manage.Targeted following is one of the secrets to Twitter success. I wrote about this yesterday, commenting on how several of Twitter's influencers and thought leaders had (for various reasons and using various methods) decided to either reboot their accounts and start over from scratch, or significantly cull their networks on a manual, person-by-person basis.In my piece, I focused on Louis Gray, who has significantly cut back his network size in recent days after maintaining a 1:1 ratio for as long as I can remember (Louis shares his reasons here) as well as Dan Zarrella, who I thought had a similar policy.Problem was, this was an assumption I made about Dan that was wrong. I had looked at his data back a week on Twittercounter, but didn't go any further than that, relying instead on memory – or what I thought I had of it – which led me to make a false statement. While he had unfollowed several thousand users in the past week or so (at least, according to Twittercounter and, as I later verified, Twitterholic), Dan had never had a 1:1 follow:follower policy on Twitter, and he was quick to let me know about it.I made an assumption, and because of this I made a mistake.When Dan got in touch, I realised I'd screwed up, and so I edited my piece and removed the reference that suggested he'd ever embraced a 1:1 following ratio. Really, in retrospect, this was a pretty minor, almost throwaway comment, but it was wrong and so it needed to go. I replied to Dan's comment and apologised, and figured that would be that.This was the second mistake I made. On Twitter, Zarrella threw what could only be properly termed as a 'hissy fit'. Even now, several hours later, I'm not really sure what led him to this behavioural pattern, because I can't for the life of me see what I said that was deserving of such an attack. If I'd blatantly defamed the guy or said something unforgiveable about his friends or family, then I'd be a little more understanding of what went down.Thanks to Bettween.com, you can track this conversation here. (Opens in a new tab for convenient reading.) Here's what happened in a nutshell:Zarrella proposed that I couldn't count (which, in light of my mistake, was probably acceptable).He then suggested I deliberately lied in my article, and this proved I was 'wrong'. I'm not sure exactly what I would have had to gain from lying about his stats, but clearly there was money and glory to be made, somewhere.He then had the sheer arrogance to propose that I might want to "learn how to do this social media thing a little better," and sent me a link to his book on Amazon. I don't and have never claimed to be a social media expert or guru, but I find it slightly bemusing that Zarrella made this pitch while acting in such a blatantly antisocial manner.He then informed me that he didn't actually care, as "7 retweets of nonsense isn't concerning." The article is up to 19 as I write, but I'm guessing it doesn't impact Dan's radar until it reaches Mashable-numbers.After I expressed my surprise at his attitude and behaviour, Dan responded that he only acted this way towards "unfounded social media experts", something which (again) I've never claimed to be.Finally, Dan suggested that my article was like "rooting through people's garbage". This, of course, from a guy who has made a career out of studying and analysing the accounts of hundreds of thousands of users on Twitter and other social platforms.This last item bothered me the most. How could an individual who makes a living analysing volumes and volumes of data about user behaviour be so quick to go on the attack against somebody he doesn't even know?The problem was that Dan made an assumption, too. He figured he already knew me, making a judgement call entirely on one piece of writing. And even if I still cannot work out exactly what it was about that entry that irked him quite so much, that doesn't really matter. If Dan had taken a moment to read a few more articles, or even to take a few deep breaths, all of this unpleasantness might have been averted. As it was, he just came over like an arrogant, egotistical jerk. You just have to compare his reaction with that of Louis Gray or Jesse Stay to see the difference in class.And while I do think that these kinds of negative encounters with thought leaders and influencers in social media are, thankfully, quite rare, this isn't the first time I've seen behaviour like this.(Hey, maybe it is me, after all.)But you want to know what the real zinger is? I checked back through my SocialToo emails, and Dan unfollowed me on Twitter just a couple of days ago during his recent blitz. And while I don't have any idea how long he had been connected to my account, he'd clearly never paid attention to any of my tweets. And I tweet a lot. You'd have thought, or at least hoped, that some of that would have got through.I guess that's where I made my third mistake. It seems that Zarrella wasn't all that interested in targeted following, after all. Sharehttp://adweek.it/2jHSJWF copy Adweek Adweek

Apple announced the seventh generation iPod Nano, 16GB version of the seventh generation iPod nano was announced at the product launch. It has been described as the "thinnest iPod nano yet" — it's 38% thinner (5.4mm) than the nano it replaces (8.78mm).
Key Features:
About the size of a credit card — and just 5.4 mm thin — the new iPod nano is the thinnest iPod ever made. The 2.5-inch Multi-Touch display is nearly twice as big as the display on the previous iPod nano, so you can see more of the music, photos, and videos you love. Buttons let you quickly play, pause, change songs, or adjust the volume. The smooth new anodized aluminum design makes iPod nano feel as good as it sounds. And iPod nano wouldn't be iPod nano without gorgeous, hard-to-choose-from colors.
Tap to play your favorite songs. Or entire albums.
Or everything by one artist. You can even browse by genres or composers. Flip through your music: Album art looks great on the bigger screen. Or to keep things fresh, give iPod nano a shake and it shuffles to a different song in your music library.
Say you're listening to a song you love and you want to stay in the mood. Just tap Genius. It finds other songs on iPod nano that go great together and makes a Genius playlist for you. For more song combinations you wouldn't have thought of yourself, create Genius Mixes in iTunes and sync the ones you like to iPod nano. Then tap Genius Mixes and rediscover songs you haven't heard in a while — or find music you forgot you even had.
Now you can watch episodes of your favorite TV shows, Hollywood blockbusters, free video podcasts, and home videos on your iPod nano. View them on the widescreen 2.5-inch Multi-Touch display. Tap to play, fast-forward, rewind, and pause. With iPod nano, you can have a little entertainment whenever — and wherever — you want.
Your music experience gets even better now that iPod nano has Bluetooth 4.0 built in. Pairing iPod nano with Bluetooth-enabled headphones and supported speakers is a cinch. With no wires in the way, working out with iPod nano is even easier. (No more getting wires caught in your free-weights.) And if your car's sound system is Bluetooth enabled, when you sit down in the driver's seat, your iPod nano is ready to pick up where you left off. Without missing a beat.
FM radio keeps you up on what's going on out
there — the game, the top news stories, your favorite talk shows — or whatever you love listening to. Just plug in your headphones and tap to see the controls. Flick the radio dial to change stations. Tap to set your favorites. Need to take a break? With Live Pause, you won't miss a minute. Just tap to pause the song or show, then tap again to continue. You can even rewind as far back as 15 minutes, so you can be sure of the lyrics you're belting out. Or fast-forward to catch up to a live broadcast.
Apple designers and engineers had the goal of creating earbuds that rest and stay comfortably inside a variety of ear types — while also producing the best sound quality possible. They tested 124 different prototypes on over 600 people. The result is a breakthrough for earbud headphones. They're called EarPods. They look unlike anything you've ever seen. They sound unlike any earbuds you've ever heard. And the audio quality is so superior, they rival high-end headphones.
Making iPod nano thinner required a bold move: Replacing the 30-pin dock connector with something newer, smaller, and better. It's called Lightning, and it's significantly more durable than the 30-pin connector. It's also reversible, so there's no wrong way to plug in the cable. If you have an iPod nano accessory that depends on the 30-pin connector, you can still connect it to your iPod nano with a Lightning to 30-pin Adapter (sold separately). Though with more and more accessories adding wireless capabilities through Bluetooth technology, thankfully cords and cables needn't be a concern.
iPod nano is the perfect workout partner. It gives you some much-needed musical motivation and provides real-time feedback. Since Nike+ support and a pedometer are built into iPod nano, there's no need to connect a receiver or use a shoe sensor to track your steps, distance, pace, time, and calories burned. Built-in Bluetooth technology lets you wirelessly connect to heart-rate monitors and headphones, making it easier to exercise. And at the end of your workout, sync iPod nano to nikeplus.com to track your daily activity and goals, check your NikeFuel, and monitor your fitness progress against yourself and your friends. Then get ready to do it all again tomorrow.
Carry around a few thousand photos and no matter where you are, you're ready to share in an instant. The larger screen on the new iPod nano is perfect for viewing photos. Just pinch and zoom, and prove to your coworkers that you're smiling (not screaming) on the zip line in Costa Rica. Or laugh at your dog's latest sleeping position. Because on top of everything else iPod nano does, it makes an excellent little brag book.
Chances are, there's an audio or video podcast for just about anything you're into. And you can listen to and watch it right on iPod nano. Browse podcasts through the podcast directory in iTunes. When you find one (or more than one) you're interested in, subscribe. That way you won't miss an episode. Oh, and the best part? Thousands of them are free.
iTunes is the easiest way to fill your iPod nano with music, movies, TV shows, audiobooks, podcasts, and more. Just buy from the iTunes Store on your Mac or PC, or import your CD collection into iTunes. Then you can make your own playlists, create Genius playlists, choose Genius Mixes, and sync it all to your iPod nano.
iPod nano comes with accessibility features that help people with disabilities enjoy music, audiobooks, and more.

Billed as the biggest night in music, the 56th Annual Grammy Awards looks set to live up to the hype with a slew of major artists lining up to perform, present, and dazzle on the red carpet.
It was revealed earlier this week that Beyonce and Jay Z will perform together at the Staples Center in L.A. Sunday night. Late Friday it was confirmed by the Recording Academy that a much-rumored performance by Madonna would occur during the ceremony.
Going in, Jay Z holds the title of most nominated artist with nine nods including Best Rap Performance, Best Rap Song, Best Rap Album and best rap/sung Collaboration, where he's nominated with both his wife for "Part II - On the Run," and Justin Timberlake for the song "Holy Grail."
Newcomer Kendrick Lamar shares the second most-nominated berth with Macklemore & Ryan Lewis. Both artists are nominated seven times.
Beyonce's appearance will mark her first televised performance since the release of her platinum-selling, self-titled album in December. That album, the singer's fifth, was released after the Grammy nominations had already been announced.
The former "Destiny's Child" diva earned only one nomination this year, for Best Rap/Sung Collaboration with hubby Jay Z for their duet "Part II - On the Run" off of Jay's album, "Magna Carta… Holy Grail."
Doing battle for record of the year are Daft Punk featuring Pharrell Williams ("Feeling Lucky"), Imagine Dragons ("Radioactive"), Lorde ("Royals"), Bruno Mars ("Locked Out of Heaven") and Robin Thicke featuring T.I. and Pharrell Williams ("Blurred Lines").
Vying for album of the year are Sara Bareilles ("The Blessed Unrest"), Daft Punk ("Random Access Memories"), Kendrick Lamar ("Good Kid, M.A.A.D City"), Macklemore & Ryan Lewis ("The Heist") and Taylor Swift ("Red"). Swift is the only one of this year's nominees to have won (or even been nominated for) album of the year at the Grammys.
Lamar and Macklemore & Ryan Lewis are also up for the best new artist Grammy, for which they'll have to beat James Blake, Kacey Musgraves or Ed Sheeran.
See the complete list of nominees here.
Other performances on the night will include a rare joining of former Beatles Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr, as well songs from Hunter Hayes, Queens of the Stone Age, Dave Grohl and Nine Inch Nails. Bareilles will perform with 2014 MusiCares Person of the Year Carole King. Also taking the stage will be Lamar, Daft Punk, Lorde, Pharrell Williams, Stevie Wonder, John Legend, Katy Perry, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, Kacey Musgraves, Taylor Swift, Keith Urban, Pink, Robin Thicke and Chicago.
There will also be a special performance featuring Merle Haggard, Kris Kristofferson, Willie Nelson and nominee Blake Shelton.
Presenters scheduled to appear include Alicia Keys, Yoko Ono, Smokey Robinson, Cyndi Lauper, Ryan Seacrest, Juanes, Jamie Foxx, Neil Patrick Harris, Ariana Grande, Gloria Estefan, Anna Faris and Black Sabbath.
The 56th annual Grammy Awards will air live Sunday Jan. 26 on CBS.

President Obama and congressional Democrats passed an extension of unemployment benefits over the objections of Congressional Republicans with a 60-40 vote in the U.S. Senate. On the surface, the battle was about how (not whether) to approve the unemployment benefits: Republicans said they wanted to pay for the expense upfront to avoid adding to the deficit; Democrats said not only would an extension help a struggling national economy, but that it was simply the right thing to do.

In a day-long special report, Texas on the Potomac is examining the influence of money in the Texas Senate race, with a look at the numbers and a ranking of the top 10 states with the most donors to each Republican runoff candidate.
Ted Cruz bagged $2,500 from the nation's top lobbyist contributor to federal election candidates, data released Tuesday reveals.
The conservative favorite scored the money from C. Boyden Gray, a lobbyist who has donated $227,300 to Republican candidates this election cycle — the most of any lobbyist in the country, according to data released by the Center for Responsive Politics.
Cruz also picked up $2,500 from Gray's family members.
Gray, a former ambassador to the European Union who is also a partner the Washington, D.C.-based lobbying firm Gray & Schmitz LLP, served as legal counsel to George H. W. Bush during his vice presidency and after he entered the Oval Office.
He is a co-chairman of FreedomWorks, a conservative group that has poured more than $120,000 into the Texas Senate race in support of Cruz, according to Federal Election Commission records analyzed by the Houston Chronicle.
The former Texas solicitor general additionally saw $2,000 in contributions from family members of Jeffrey MacKinnon, a lobbyist who ranked No. 20 on the' list of top lobbyist donors to 2012 campaigns. But Mackinnon's family members also sent $500 to the campaign coffers of his opponent, establishment-backed Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst.
Family members of Wayne Berman, the lobbyist who sent the sixth-largest sum to federal campaigns and served as a senior adviser to former President George W. Bush and former vice president Dick Cheney during their transition into the White House, also donated $500 to Dewhurst.

My Review
Dec 13, 2010
This recipe is almost identical to one that I have had for 50+ years. It is sooooo good. Mine has a little more salt and a half as much sugar in the filling, but basically it is the same one. Mine came from a Pillsbury Best or Gold Medal Flour recipe booklet they put out all those years ago. I make it every Thanksgiving and Christmas and have for probably the last 36 or so years. That is our breakfast on those mornings, and even the married kids still look forward to the Danish Kringle--which is what it was originally called. I have made it with poppyseed filling, my favorite, and also with cherry pie filling. However, the cherry pie kringle needs to be put lower in the oven so that the bottom crust will get adequately done, or else cover the kringle with aluminum foil so that it doesn't get too brown. I'll make it again this Christmas when all five of our children will be here. I'll make at least 8 kringle. Enjoy

While many may have taken advantage of the springlike weather to take care of outside work, Serenity Gardens owner Jana Dalke said it's best to wait until mid-April before planting anything in the garden.
"If it was up to me I would wait," she said. "The weather is still too unpredictable and there's still a chance of cold weather killing plants."
The best option for those anxious to get out in the garden is to prepare and plan, Dalke said.
"What you can do is put organic matter, like manure, down to enrich the soil and if you have access to black plastic you can put that down too," she said. "The black plastic will heat up the soil quicker and kill any weed seeds that might have gotten into the soil over winter."
Mid-March is the time to plant vegetables that can tolerate colder weather, like carrots, potatoes, spinach, peas, and broccoli, she said.
"April 17 is the average last frost day for our area," she said. "It's a good idea to wait to plant everything else until then. You can cover plants if you wish to plant earlier but that only makes a few degrees difference if it gets to 25 degrees at night you're still going to be replanting so don't get too anxious."
It's also a good idea to take this time to plan the layout and what to plant in the garden.
A Kansas gardeners' guide to vegetable growing is available at extension offices. Dalke said it is a great resource for gardeners with questions about when and how to plant certain things.
Dalke is doing her own preparations to Serenity Gardens to prepare it for spring. She is installing a heated concrete floor in the small green house.
"I start all my seeds on heating pads," she said. "I keep them around 70 degrees to allow them to germinate. This will save me heating pads and the high energy bills they rack up."
She hopes to be able to move plants into the newly renovated greenhouse and out of a the stuffed large green house by next week.
Dalke will be talking about gardening noon to 1 p.m. March 4 at Marion Library. Reservations are required. Call (620) 382-2442 by Friday to make a reservation.

Coastlines are especially sensitive, not only because of the constant coastal erosion, but also because of the diverse insects and animals, as well as the many different species of plants that are very sensitive to any kind of toxic pollutants. Continue reading

Why an Assessment Phase is Necessary for Successful IPv6 Adoption
As you start to look into the IPv6 integration process, you will need to look at what is in place in the network and then assess capabilities. The assessment process is about discovering capabilities of the existing equipment, services and applications. The result of the assessment process will give you an idea of what has to be done to ensure that the desired IPv6 features are supported.
A good starting point for the assessment phase is to analyze your infrastructure for basic IPv6 services. Can I configure an IPv6 address on the device? Does it support neighbor discovery and ICMPv6? The question you are trying to answer is "What are the minimum features I absolutely need to get IPv6 up and running?"
The answer to this question means defining what "IPv6-capable" means to your organization. You can start by observing how others are defining IPv6 capability. The IPv6 Ready Logo and USGv6 programs are good references for defining what "IPv6 capable" means. These programs also define a series of tests that will verify support of IPv6 capabilities. They also have a list of vendor equipment that has gone through, and passed, the tests. The RIPE-501 document also lists IPv6 features that vendor equipment should support. Note: RIPE-501 is undergoing an update which should be out shortly.
As you look at the phases of your integration project, you can plug features into the different phases. You can then work with your vendor to start to identify where those features are supported. Vendor documentation will help identify what features are available and where they are available. The links below are an example:
All of the information you gather can be pulled together into a table. The table should show the platforms, features, and where those features are supported. The table below gives you an idea of what the complete table might look like.
The boxes marked yellow show a feature that is not supported but has a workaround, and the boxes marked red show a feature that is not supported. As the table shows, there are some places where a platform does not support a needed feature. At this point, you need to work with your vendor to let them know of the gap and how it impacts IPv6 integration in your organization.
The other output of the assessment will be identification of what needs to be done in order to get support for the desired IPv6 features. The results will identify devices that need software upgrades or possible replacement to support the desired IPv6 features. This result will directly impact the IPv6 integration timeline, as all the upgrades and any replacements will need to happen prior to activating IPv6 in the network.
Just as the integration process has to account for all aspects of what is happening in the IT shop, the assessment process similarly has to account for all parts of the system – network, end systems, and applications. The above paragraphs focus on the network infrastructure. The host and server operating systems and applications and services should also go through a similar assessment process. You will need to gather the information about the devices or services, define the desired features, work with the vendor to determine where features are supported and develop a plan get those features in place.
The IPv6 capabilities of the equipment and applications in your network should not be taken for granted. A comprehensive assessment process should be done to ensure that no surprises pop up when IPv6 needs to be integrated into your network.

I can't add anything to this, so I present it nearly in the entirety. Krugman:
Being without health insurance is no big deal. Just ask President Bush. "I mean, people have access to health care in America," he said last week. "After all, you just go to an emergency room."
This is what you might call callousness with consequences. The White House has announced that Mr. Bush will veto a bipartisan plan that would extend health insurance, and with it such essentials as regular checkups and preventive medical care, to an estimated 4.1 million currently uninsured children. After all, it's not as if those kids really need insurance — they can just go to emergency rooms, right?
O.K., it's not news that Mr. Bush has no empathy for people less fortunate than himself. But his willful ignorance here is part of a larger picture: by and large, opponents of universal health care paint a glowing portrait of the American system that bears as little resemblance to reality as the scare stories they tell about health care in France, Britain, and Canada. The claim that the uninsured can get all the care they need in emergency rooms is just the beginning. Beyond that is the myth that Americans who are lucky enough to have insurance never face long waits for medical care.
Actually, the persistence of that myth puzzles me. I can understand how people like Mr. Bush or Fred Thompson, who declared recently that "the poorest Americans are getting far better service" than Canadians or the British, can wave away the desperation of uninsured Americans, who are often poor and voiceless. But how can they get away with pretending that insured Americans always get prompt care, when most of us can testify otherwise?
A recent article in Business Week put it bluntly: "In reality, both data and anecdotes show that the American people are already waiting as long or longer than patients living with universal health-care systems."A cross-national survey conducted by the Commonwealth Fund found that America ranks near the bottom among advanced countries in terms of how hard it is to get medical attention on short notice (although Canada was slightly worse), and that America is the worst place in the advanced world if you need care after hours or on a weekend.
We look better when it comes to seeing a specialist or receiving elective surgery. But Germany outperforms us even on those measures — and I suspect that France, which wasn't included in the study, matches Germany's performance. ...
On the other hand, it's true that Americans get hip replacements faster than Canadians. But there's a funny thing about that example, which is used constantly as an argument for the superiority of private health insurance over a government-run system: the large majority of hip replacements in the United States are paid for by, um, Medicare.That's right: the hip-replacement gap is actually a comparison of two government health insurance systems. American Medicare has shorter waits than Canadian Medicare (yes, that's what they call their system) because it has more lavish funding — end of story. The alleged virtues of private insurance have nothing to do with it.
The bottom line is that the opponents of universal health care appear to have run out of honest arguments. All they have left are fantasies: horror fiction about health care in other countries, and fairy tales about health care here in America.

The Shrill One speaks
I can't add anything to this, so I present it nearly in the entirety. Krugman:

I had a patient present to our ER, and I went down to do their vascular ultrasound (I think it was a carotid ultrasound, the patient had had a syncopal episode at a wedding).ReplyDelete
Anyway, the patient and her family were from Canada and they told me that they were amazed that it only took 30 minutes to get an ultrasound on a weekend. The patient's husband told me he had to wait 18 months to get CABG in Canada. I realize those are just anecdotes but it certainly paints a different picture that what Krugman is saying (That is not a little worse, that is god awful).
Universal Healthcare will be vital though, but I would like to see more market based ones (or hybrids like Romney's Mass. plan). It might even improve physician morale. I spoke with a surgeon a week ago that said he operated all weekend and will probably make $500 because none of the patients were likely to pay. Certainly puts any med school aspirations in perspective. That sucks!
Universal Healthcare is just like Environmentalism. There are just zero arguments on the other side. On the one hand is the morally superior and more efficient path, on the other hand is the stupid, immoral path. So, those opposed feel the need to argue against made up realities.ReplyDelete
I really don't understand it. Obviously, there will be disagreements about how to implement green living and universal health coverage. Sure. But the digging in that we see in some circles is so strange.
My inability to understand the positions makes me ineffective in advocating for the right answer. And for that reason, I genuinely wish I could understand. But, I just can't.
I think we also need to come up with some better regulation of the wording we use. I see "socialized medicine", "nationalized healthcare", "single payer" all out there. There are subtle (and not so subtle) differences to all. I personally do not believe a carbon copy of Canada or UK or anywhere will work here in US. We have our own challenges and mind-set. Also, those system have been around long enough for us to see the problems in them, but also the solutions. We need to look at all these system, then look long and hard at our own country, and devise an entirely new and unique solution that draws on the wisdom of those other countries and our own ingenuity. This current system is not sustainable and Americans will not pay 50% in taxes that it would take for 100% government funded healthcare. There is an answer out there, but we need a country committed to finding that answer.ReplyDelete
And another thing... there are arguments against it. We should not assume this is the one true and correct position for all people. That is an extremist attitude and that will end us up in trouble in the end. There is a lot to be said for people paying for their own healthcare. Not only will they benefit from the self-respect of paying for their own care, they will manage their own money better. That said, many people don't understand the importance of spending money on those regular check-ups that from which they see no immediate benefit. On the flip side, physicians (and nurses and all of us) need to rediscover the importance of service in our lives and return to donating some of our skills and time to help those patients that can't afford all our services. Each side needs to give.ReplyDelete
Well, I see I need to write a post about this because my comment box is going on and on. I will delete the rest and carry on this topic on my own blog... sorry for taking up all the words!

There are arguments about how to change our health care system. There are not arguments that we have the best in the world. There are not arguments that our system is as good as it can get.
Being closed minded gets us in trouble, but so does allowing fringe elements to be treated like they are not on the fringe.

Singer Shakira was honored Wednesday by the United Nations for her work with impoverished children, as the pop star earned a medal from a U.N. labor agency in a small Switzerland ceremony.
Shakira was praised by the U.N. in a Geneva meeting, where U.N. labor chief Juan Somavia called Shakira a "true ambassador for children and young people, for quality education and social justice."
The artist has long been an advocate for children in poverty -- her Barefoot foundation helps feed thousands of children in Colombia, the South American country she hails from.
The "Whenever, Wherever" and "Hips Don't Lie" singer is also part of the ALAS foundation, which fights for children across Latin America.
Shakira has worked with the U.N. in the past as a UNICEF goodwill ambassador. Other celebrity ambassadors have included Susan Sarandon, Mia Farrow, Whoopi Goldberg, David Beckham, Jessica Lange, Orlando Bloom and Ricky Martin.

I loved using Kayleighs new template from Studio DD for these cute photographs of our granddaughter playing with some old make-up that we dug up from my stash!
Journaling: While you were staying with us for a few days this year we dug into my makeup drawer pulled out lots of items which I never use anymore. A pale pink lipstick, small sample bottles of lotions and powders, a tiny blue compact with a puff and mirror. I found a stand up mirror and we gathered a few friends to have a mini-makeover. Your friends were . . . one of your mamas old baby dolls, two sweet brown teddy bears with button eyes and of course your dotty bunny that traveled here with you. Monnie was in this adoring group too . . . you rouged and lip-sticked me along with the others . . . I found my neck alarmingly pink after a liberal dose with your powder puff. We found a pretty old zipper bag to store your stash in and you are just as happy as a clam! We both had a wonderful morning in the sunny window playing make-up just like two little girls.

Biology Department
What is Biology?
Biology is the scientific study of life, which included all of its mechanisms and effects at all spatial and temporal scales here on Earth and throughout the known universe.
What is a biologist and what do they do?
A biologist is not merely someone who knows a lot of facts about living things. A biologist is a knowledgeable trained problem solver. A biologist is a skilled person capable of asking informed and discerning questions about biological phenomena and who can devise and execute well constructed studies to test those questions. A biologist is someone capable of analyzing, interpreting, and reporting new and existing data and who can use this information to solve problems and answer question concerning life and its effects. Biologists also find new ways to use their knowledge to solve problems in applied fields such as medicine, agriculture, environmental management, biodiversity and conservation, fish and wildlife management, water management and pollution control, renewable resources, and human population growth. Over the past 20 years biologists have even begun to extend their studies to other worlds, searching for signs of life on Mars and the moons of Jupiter. The search for life beyond Earth is, among other things, a test of our most fundamental biological principles of how life works. Perhaps these fundamental principles apply wherever life exits, perhaps not – the questions continue.
Biology at Southern
The biology program at Southern Connecticut State University has a wide variety of basic and advanced laboratory and field courses. These courses provide students the opportunity to acquire a sound subject knowledge base and the practical skills needed to become competent biologists. Students can choose to work developing a broad general background or specialize along a particular track. Opportunities also exist to work with faculty on independent research projects. Upper-level biology courses also stress the development of qualitative, quantitative, and writing skill necessary for graduate school, professional schools, or applied careers in secondary education, government, or industry. In addition to courses in the biology program, students have the opportunity to build specialized ancillary professional skills via courses in GIS (Geography Department), statistics (Mathematics Department), chemical analysis (Chemistry Department), and geomorphology (Earth Sciences Department).
Thinking Beyond Biology at Southern: The Next Step!
Although the biology program at Southern is a good starting point, you should always be thinking ahead! If you already have a career goal in medicine or work in teaching then you may know how to prepare for those future careers – you may not have the specific details, but you have direction and purpose. If however you are not focused on a particular career beyond your undergraduate studies you may be unclear as to what your options are or how to make choices as an undergraduate biology student. If this is you, then perhaps one of the most important things for you to know is what your specific interests in biology are. You have to be able to clearly and concisely articulate why you have chosen to train for a career in biology and it does require some thought and commitment. If all you can say is that "I did well in biology in high school and thought it could be a good career" then you need to think harder about this. The reason this is so important is because your statement will drive most of your important decisions about your preparations and courses. It is also important to know that most professional careers in biology will require at least a Masters Degree beyond your undergraduate studies – so if nothing else you should train to be a competitive applicant to a graduate biology program. Please keep in mind that you do have a little time to work out the details of your personal statement and some of your introductory biology courses can help, but considering the practical matters of your time and money you should not progress into your junior year (here or at any other school) without a clear of idea of what comes next. Your future is up to you, but choose wisely!

|Digital container format

|Audiovisual material, rich metadata
Material Exchange Format (MXF) is a container format for professional digital video and audio media defined by a set of SMPTE standards. A typical example of its use is for delivering advertisements to TV stations.[1]
MXF is a "container" or "wrapper" format which supports a number of different streams of coded "essence", encoded in any of a variety of video and audio compression formats, together with a metadata wrapper which describes the material contained within the MXF file.
MXF has been designed to address a number of problems with non-professional formats[citation needed]. MXF has full timecode and metadata support, and is intended as a platform-agnostic stable standard for future professional video and audio applications.
MXF was developed to carry a subset of the Advanced Authoring Format (AAF) data model, under a policy known as the Zero Divergence Directive (ZDD). This theoretically enables MXF/AAF workflows between non-linear editing (NLE) systems using AAF and cameras, servers, and other devices using MXF.
MXF is in the process of evolving from standard to deployment. The breadth of the standard can lead to interoperability problems as vendors implement different parts of the standard.
MXF is fairly effective at the interchange of D10 (IMX) material, mainly because of the success of the Sony eVTR and Sony's eVTR RDD to SMPTE. Workflows combining the eVTR, Avid NLE systems, and broadcast servers using MXF in coordination with AAF are now possible.
Long-GOP MPEG-2 material interchange between video servers is possible, as broadcasters develop application specifications they expect their vendors to implement.
As of Autumn 2005, there were major interoperability problems with MXF in broadcast post-production use. The two data-recording camera systems which produced MXF at that time, Sony's XDCAM and Panasonic's DVCPRO P2, produced mutually incompatible files due to opaque subformat options obscured behind the MXF file extension. Without advanced tools, it was impossible to distinguish these incompatible formats.
Additionally, many MXF systems produce split-file A/V (that is, the video and audio stored in separate files), and use a file naming convention which relies on randomly generated filenames to link them. Not only does this exacerbate the issue of knowing exactly what is in an MXF file without specialized tools, but it breaks the functionality of standard desktop computer techniques which are generally used to manipulate data on a level as fundamental as moving, copying, renaming, and deleting. Using a randomly generated filename is uninformative to the user, but changing the name breaks the loose database structure between files.[original research?]
Furthermore, the currently popular MXF export tools (i.e. the ones that are free or cost the least) will not allow the user to create a stereo AES file within the MXF wrapper, nor will they allow the user to add free-text annotation to the MXF file so created (in order, for instance, that the next user of the file be able to interpret his or her intentions). Thus, an MXF file received & unwrapped may reveal SMPTE D10 compliant essence with eight mono AES audio components; the recipient has no way of knowing whether these components are multiple stereo pairs, 5.1 or serve some other purpose.[citation needed]
Most of the incompatibilities were addressed and ratified in the 2009 version of the standard.[2]
Sony's XDCAM MXF is supported by Adobe After Effects, Adobe Premiere Pro, Apple Final Cut Pro X, Autodesk Smoke, Avid, Capella systems, Dalet, EVS, Imagine Communications Corp., Omneon, Quantel, Rhozet, Root6, Sony Vegas Pro, Sorenson Squeeze, Telestream FlipFactory, GrassValley EDIUS, Grass Valley K2, and Merging Technologies VCube.
Panasonic's P2 MXF is supported by Adobe After Effects, Adobe Premiere Pro, Apple Final Cut Pro X, Autodesk Smoke, Avid, Dalet, EVS, GrassValley EDIUS,[3] Grass Valley K2 and Root6.
Ikegami offers camcorders capable of recording in MXF wrapper using Avid DNxHD video encoding at 145 Mbit/s, as well as MPEG-2 video encoding at 50 Mbit/s 4:2:2 long-GOP and 100 Mbit/s I-frame.
In 2010 Canon released its new lineup of professional file-based camcorders. The recording format used in these camcorders incorporates MPEG-2 video with bitrates up to 50 Mbit/s and 16-bit linear PCM audio in what Canon has called XF codec. Canon claims that its flavor of MXF is fully supported by major NLE systems including Adobe Premiere, Apple Final Cut Pro X, Avid Media Composer, and Grass Valley EDIUS.[4]
MXF is used as the audio and video packaging format for Digital Cinema Package (DCP). It is also used in the STANAG specification documents.[5]
The file extension for MXF files is ".mxf". The Macintosh File Type Code registered with Apple for MXF files is "mxf ", including a trailing space.
CinemaDNG (intended by Adobe and others to be an open file format for digital cinema files) exploits MXF as one of its options for holding a sequence of raw video images. (The other option is to store a sequence of DNG files in a specified directory).
NLE and MXF enablers
There are an increasing number of professional NLE's that can work with MXF files natively including Avid Media Composer, Adobe Premiere Pro 3.1 or above, DaVinci Resolve, Vegas Pro, GrassValley EDIUS and Final Cut Pro X Latest versions of Avid editing products store media in Avid MXF Op-Atom and import/export MXF Op1a or using mxfSPEEDRAIL F1000, Glookast Gloobox Ingester or Root6's ContentAgent applications that supports any kind of MXF flavour. Pitivi is the first open source video editor to support the Material Exchange Format (MXF).
MXF converters
- FFmpeg, an open source project added support for muxing and demuxing of MXF and MXF D-10 in FFmpeg 0.5, released in March 2009.[6][7]
- GStreamer is an open source Material Exchange Format (MXF) library. Pitivi uses this tool.
- Ingex is an open-source (GPL) suite of software for the digital capture of audio and video data, developed and heavily used by the BBC. SDI capture is supported, as well as real-time transcoding (with MXF). Portions of the suite also act as a network file server for media files, as well as archiving to LTO-3 data tape.[8]

The stars were out in full-force yesterday at the 84th Annual Academy Awards, with top-honours going to silent-film 'The Artist'. Meanwhile, on the opposite coast, Whitecaps FC shone equally as bright while showing some of their own artistry in a 1-0 win against Houston Dynamo in Orlando, Florida. The result guarantees the 'Caps a spot in next Saturday's Disney Pro Soccer Classic final at 5 p.m. PT.
With so many quality films in 2011, it was hard to pick the winners at last night's academy awards. Having that kind of depth of talent is a problem that 'Caps coach Martin Rennie is also happy to have this season. As one Marc Weber writes, "Additions like Young-Pyo Lee, Sebastien Le Toux and future designated player Barry Robson have understandably made headlines, but the biggest difference for the Vancouver Whitecaps in 2012 might be their improved depth." (Marc Weber - The Province)
'Caps Keeper Joe Cannon wasn't making any award-show speeches yesterday, but he certainly knows what it's like to be a winner. The two-time MLS Goalkeeper of the Year has seen it all in his 14-years as a shot-stopper in Major League Soccer (MLS) and remains highly optimistic about the approaching season, telling one journalist, "I know this team is capable of some great things." (Martin MacMahon - MLSsoccer.com)
One player hoping to see a long run this season is striker Long Tan. Like the stars on the red carpet last night, Tan also got a lot of camera time this weekend, making the highlight reels in both Whitecaps Disney Pro Soccer Classic matchups. So if movies are your thing, then grab some popcorn, turn the lights down low and try and think of these highlights from yesterday's match against Houston as a trailer for the season to come. (MLSsoccer.com)
A great movie that was overlooked at this year's Oscar's is Rise & Shine: The Jay DeMerit Story. While it may not have made it to tinseltown (yet), it remains a must watch for any Whitecaps fan. A recent review on ESPN called it, "A remarkable source of inspiration for anyone who has ever doubted their will to succeed at doing something they love." (Jack Graul - ESPN)
'Whitecaps FC Daily' with Peter Schaad is back in its usual 3:00 p.m. timeslot on TEAM 1410 sports radio! For those of you who may have missed past episodes, you can find them HERE!
The show airs every Monday to Friday at 3 p.m. PT on TEAM 1410.
You can always get your soccer fix every Sunday night from 9 p.m. to 11 p.m. PT by tuning into 'Full-Time: Vancouver's Soccer Show' with Tyler Green and Mike Martignago on TEAM 1040.
West Coast Soccer Weekly is a new podcast hosted by Canadian Soccer News writers Pierce Lang and Michael McColl. For all things soccer on the best coast, including up to date coverage of Whitecaps FC, Highlanders, Men's and Women's Canadian national teams, and local community clubs be sure to listen in HERE!
Have you heard about 'The Soccer Show' with Nigel Reed and Bob Iarusci? Make sure to listen HERE!
They say the third time's a charm, and yesterday's match against Houston was certainly that as they tallied their third win in a row this preseason. Simon Fudge has all the details on the weekend victory in the sunshine state. And if you missed it HERE's the recap from Friday's winner against Montreal Impact as well. (Simon Fudge - whitecapsfc.com)
If there was a category at the Oscar's for best promo shoot then TSN's one for Whitecaps FC would have gone home a winner. Their creative use of a steady-cam on a segway alone should be worth an award. Be sure to check out the behind-the-scenes footage of Whitecaps FC players busy styling for TSN. (Zac Ratcliffe - whitecapsfc.com)
One person who's definitely pumped for the March 10 season opener is Josh Nanavaty. Check out his two-week countdown to First Kick HERE. (Josh Nanavaty - whitecapsfc.com)
