Most noodle soup recipes that I see call for boiling and draining the noodles separately, then adding them to the broth already cooked. Is there any reason that I can't just add the dry noodles 10 minutes before the soup is done, and add a little extra water or broth to compensate for that the noodles take? Doing it this way would allow the noodles to take up some of the broth's flavor, and also save dirtying an extra pot and a colander.
similar to what julio said, the main reason is that typical wheat-based noodles release a lot of starch into the water, which changes the consistency of the soup. the starches can add a dirty colour to the water, but more than that, they can also thicken the soup undesirably (think of making a roux). Finally, if there are leftovers, the noodles can sometimes become completely water logged, making eating it the next day a bit of a soggy experience.
That said, with all these considerations there are times when you might add the noodles directly in-- non-starchy noodles (eg. like rice noodles) seem to do ok. also parboiling regular pasta before hand seems to help a lot with the starch and can still help you achieve the flavour integration you mentioned.
Some people prefer to cook them separately because when you do so, you can see the water changes color a little and they don't want that (mainly flour) in their soups.
Another advantage is that you can have your soup ready and just cook the noodles on demand. The noodles go to boiling water, the soup is just very hot, but not boiling. That's what restaurants do.
If those reasons are not important for you, do as most of us do and cook them together :)
That's how I cook noodle soup. And yes, it does give them a nice flavor. Just be sure you don't add them too soon: it's easy to over-cook the noodles by leaving them too long in the hot broth.
Well first of all, any sauce you make that'll have pasta in it, must have at least 1 to 2 tablespoons of pasta water in it, i.e. 1 to tbsp of the water you boiled the pasta with.
Second of all, it's all about the amount. If let's say you're adding a 1/2 cup of rigatoni or fussili then you're fine, add'er up; but be advised when reheating, pasta will break easily on you. If you're putting let's say skinny noodle type pasta, then don't put it from the start. What you can do is half boil the pasta in the normal water, drain it, and then add it to your soup 5 / 10 minutes before it's done.
I would say NEVER cook noodles at the same time for all the reasons the smart friends above suggested but my adamant reason is that it makes the soup look and taste like dishwater!

A load of Lumia 1020 1080p video samples surface on YouTube
The Nokia Lumia 1020 has yet to get an official announcement, and the leaks just keep on pouring in. The latest one has a YouTube channel with almost a hundred videos showing off the 1080p video recording capabilities of the new Nokia device in all its glory.
Although there are no low-light samples, everything from cars to dogs has been shot, including some great-looking macro shots of flowers.
The video stabilization looks top notch, although there is some blurring along the right side of the frame, which may be due to a faulty prototype unit.
Here are some highlights:
The AT&T promo videos mention full manual zoom on the Lumia 1020, and this last video shows the impressive quick zoom capabilities.
Check out the channel here.

Now why would you say something like that? Why are all fanboys so sensitive? I only said it's speculated that the videos are fake, there are some reflections visible that show a camcorder, there's a zooming sound that isn't supposed to be heard from ...

Designing NKK degenerate PCR primers
I've never designed or worked with NKK degenrate priemrs before, so I'm a bit lost.:withstupid: (Admittedly, I'm not the most experienced person when it comes to primer design or cloning, so please forgive any stupid questions).
I want to design an NKK degenerate primer for creating a mutagenesis library for evolving an enzyme. However, I cannot really figure out how to desgin them. The software available ususally focuses on designing these primers using sequence alignments or using them for sequencing purposes.
Does anyone have experience with this designing type of PCR/ primers?
Re: Designing NKK degenerate PCR primers
As an afterthought: could you hust design a ''normal'' primer and insert the NKK-bases instead of the ones for the amino acid?
Re: Designing NKK degenerate PCR primers
Ok, no one has answered so far.....
So, I'll just answer the question myself:
If you guys ever want to make priemrs that contain NKK (or any other degenerate codons) use the OligoIDT Analyzer
But be aware of the degenerate codons and their complementary bases when designing the primers

I have answers to your questions.
When I decided to build the Ar I really liked the looks of the A2. I wanted something that looked more like a shooter for paper rather than something that might be taken to kill someone. That is why I have the smooth free float handgaurd. That particular A2 upper has M4 feed ramps. Why I decided I needed them I don't know, but I have them.
The reason for the piston is to make cleaning it up easier. Plus I think it would be cool bling.
As far as the flooring, I bought this trailer and am trying to restore it while I am going to school. I am working my way from the master bedroom to the other bedroom at the other end of the house.
I was able to take it to the range yesterday and it was fun to shoot. May go out today if I get the water heater fixed. Have fun, Tony

Christians and Halloween
» Part 4: Fun Bible Based Activities
"Then Jesus spoke to them again,
saying, "I am the light of the world.
He who follows Me shall not walk
in darkness, but have the light of life."
John 8:12
Print This Bible Study
Fun Bible Based Activities
The Bible makes it absolutely clear that we should not get involved with evil darkness and occult of any kind. (Lev 19:31, Deut 18:10-12) Jesus cast out demons many times in the Bible. Christians are to have nothing to do with the occult even in fun as dressing up as devils, bloody goolish creatures, ghosts, etc.
Ideas For Fun Bible Based Activities on Halloween
The following are several fun Christian alternatives to the evil customs of Halloween. Use them to come up with new wholesome ways to entertain the kids and to help spread God's Word.
Biblical Character Party
Throw a costume party where the only costumes allowed are Biblical characters! Have a contest and give away prizes for the best costume or the funniest.
Harvest Parties
Many churches now host harvest parties full of games, contests and refreshments. Neighborhood children are invited to attend also. Children are encouraged to wear Biblical costumes and candy is given out at game booths and cars in the parking lot.
Country Parties
Another idea is to have a country party where kids dress up in western hats and overalls.
Fun House or a Christian House
Instead of a scary haunted house, create a fun house made of colorful and funny things around every corner. Or a Christian House with Christian scenes around every corner.
Psalm Reading Booth
A great idea at a Church party is to have a Psalm Reading Booth instead of a palm reading booth. Each person gets a Psalm read to them and an explanation of what God has in store for them in the future (heaven).
Christian Carved Pumpkins
A great way to light your sidewalk on Halloween and to help show you live in a Christian household is to carve one or several pumpkins with Christian symbols in them like the cross pumpkin above. You could carve a cross, dove, fish symbol, etc.
Outreach Concert
Another fine idea but takes a bit of work is to host an Outreach Concert for our youth with Christian Music.
Passing Out Goodies
When you pass out candy, also pass out children's tracts that tell them about Jesus. There are special tracts just for Halloween. You might also make your own tracts by writing Bible verses. They're going to be coming to your door, why not send them away with a little bit of information about Jesus?
Plan a Holy-Ween Party
Plan a special Christian party at your house or church that night to bring our youth to Christ. Show a Christian movie or video, read Bible stories, act out the story with costumes. Can also give a short devotional talk against evil and the occult. Win others to Jesus on Satan's holiday!
Plan a Special Family Night
On Halloween, either plan a special family night out and start a tradition. Go to your favorite restaurant and have dessert. Plan fun activities for the family.
Remember to explain to the kids why you don't participate in the dark evil side of Halloween and choose instead to bring Christ it. Teach them not to be afraid and how Jesus told us to "Fear Not" (2 Tim 1:7). So let's do what's pleasing to God on Halloween like plan wholesome Bible based, fun filled activities for the kids whatever it may be. Use it as a night of evangelism to shine the light of God's Word into the darkness of the world. (1 Cor 10:31, 1 John 1:5-7) Choose not to participate in this evil holiday altogether is completely fine too.

Nov. 7, 2008

The Sports Network
By Scott Haynes, College Basketball Senior Editor
FACTS & STATS: Site: Drake Knapp Center (7,152) -- Des Moines, Iowa. Television: FSN-NW. Home Record: Creighton 11-1, Drake 5-3. Away Record: Creighton 4-1, Drake 2-4. Neutral Record: Creighton 1-3, Drake 2-0. Conference Record: Creighton 6-1, Drake 2-5. Series Record: Creighton leads, 93-58.
GAME NOTES: With a season-long 11-game win streak over, the 17th-ranked Creighton Bluejays take aim at starting a new one, as they battle the Drake Bulldogs in a Missouri Valley Conference clash at the Drake Knapp Center on Wednesday.
Greg McDermott's Blujays were cruising along through their MVC schedule with six straight wins part of their longest 11-game win streak. However, any momentum gained was halted abruptly at Wichita State this past weekend, as Creighton dropped a 67-64 decision to the Shockers for just the second loss of the season for the Bluejays.
Mark Phelps' Bulldogs have been a picture of inconsistency this season and their 8-10 overall record is a direct result. Drake did post back-to-back wins for just the second time this season with conference victories over Illinois State and Evansville recently, but the team failed in its bid for a third consecutive victory with a humbling 85-55 rout at the hands of Northern Iowa on Sunday, dropping Drake to just 2-5 in conference play.
Creighton holds a substantial lead in the all-time series (93-58) and has won 19 of the last 27 meetings overall. The 93 victories and 151 all-time meetings are both the most Creighton has against any other opponent.
The Bluejays had a couple of opportunities in the waning moments to tie things up with Wichita State, but couldn't deliver, ending their extended win streak at 11 games and dropping their first league bout of the season in the process. All-American Doug McDermott was once again the driving force for Creighton, pouring in 25 points. Greg Echenique complemented McDermott with a near double-double, posting nine points and 13 rebounds in the loss.
The Bluejays are a lethal offensive squad, averaging 78.9 ppg and ranking among the nation's best in both field-goal percentage (.518) and 3-point accuracy (.452). McDermott is a big reason for that, as the only returning All-American from last year is well on his way to earning that status again, shooting .565 overall, .525 from behind the arc (42-of-80) and ranking second nationally in scoring at 24.1 ppg. Echenique is a distant second in the scoring column (10.1 ppg) but makes the most of his opportunities, converting 66.1 percent from the floor. Ethan Wragge (8.9 ppg) is a valuable asset off the bench with his 3-point acumen (.442 - 46-of-104).
Drake was simply no match for the hot-shooting Panthers last time out, as UNI converted 60 percent of its shots (30-of-50), compared to a 35.6 percent effort from the visiting Bulldogs (21-of-59). Drake was also outscored at the free-throw line, 18-7. Richard Carter led the way offensively for the Bulldogs, posting 16 points off the bench. Jordan Clarke added 10 points to the cause and led the team with eight rebounds.
There is nothing flashy about Drake's offensive capabilities. The Bulldogs are averaging 72.4 ppg, but are giving up 74.1 ppg, as opponents are converting 45.5 percent from the floor overall. Ben Simons leads the team in scoring at 14.2 ppg, thanks in large part to his team-best 45 3-pointers. Seth VanDeest and Chris Hines are flirting with double-figure scoring averages at 9.9 ppg, each.
Drake, like most teams, lacks a player on the roster that can do all the things that McDermott does for Creighton. Without much in terms of offensive firepower, expect the Bulldogs to fall behind early and never recover against Creighton.
Sports Network Predicted Outcome: Creighton 75, Drake 63

Stop Me If You've Heard This Before: Hulu Owners Say 'Nah'
It's 2011 all over again as Hulu's trio of owners, 21st Century Fox, Disney, and Comcast, have decided to not sell the video service to any of its suitors. Instead, they will put $750 million into the video company to "propel future growth," according to the announcement.
The final suitors for Hulu came down to DirecTV and the combination of The Chernin Group and AT&T, as well as Time Warner Cable, which was only interested in buying a stake in the company. The initial list was much bigger, but over the past couple of weeks,

Paralytic Raising His Bed
The craftsmanship of these two works is comparable to the best of the Brooklyn Museum's genuine Late Antique stone carvings. However, many features show that neither is ancient. Like many forgeries, both figures have unrealistic hair and heavily outlined, staring eyes. The female figure's garment, with its odd folds and neckline, is without parallels, as is her headdress. She holds an orb with a cross and a scepter, objects held in Late Antique Sculpture only by male archangels, and she appears to stand in front of the framing arch, rather than within it. The paralytic man healed by Jesus was seldom illustrated in this period; moreover, this sizable figure would have been inappropriate in either a tomb or a church. It has been carefully—and unrealistically—damaged only on both hands and one lower edge.

Taipei — The 29 media practitioners currently attending this year's Taiwan Media Development training in Taipei Tuesday began a two-day visit to media institutions in the Asian island nation.
The participants are undergoing a 14-day synergy organised by the Taiwan International Cooperation and Development Fund (ICDF).
China Central Television (CCTV)
The participants first visited the China Central Television (CCTV) on Tuesday. The media house has 800 employees working in both the radio and television sections.
Erick She, a news presenter at the TV section, told the media practitioners that they have turned the institution completely digital due to the high competition rate in the Taiwan media industry.He said CCTV is the predominant state television broadcaster in Mainland China with a network of 22 channels that are broadcasting different programmes accessible to more than one billion viewers.
He added that most of the programmes are presented in a mixture of documentary, comedy, entertainment, and drama, majority of which consist of Chinese soap operas and entertainment.
Police Broadcasting Service (PBS)
At the PBS, which is the only police radio station in the world, the participants were received by the deputy general director of the station, James GC Chung, who disclosed that PBS is not only a police system, but also a group of public media established on March 1st, 1954. He said the public is given the opportunity to call for service anytime with regard to public safety or accidental disasters, especially traffic accident.
According to him, news is broadcasted once every hour, including weather information and climate variations such as the situation before, during and after typhoon in order to keep people aware and reduce the trouble.
Through cooperation with the National Traffic Information Centre (NTIC), Chung told the media practitioners that PBS reports instant road conditions. "Our National Traffic Networks report about freeways and serves drivers. The Regional Traffic Networks report about regional road conditions as a guidance to efficient ways," he said, adding: "If you leave something in a taxi, you can find it back through PBS. We even reward the strangers who find more than NT$50,000."
United Daily News (UDN)
Later on Wednesday evening, the participants visited the United Daily News (UDN), a newspaper in Taipei, which is also digitalized.
Vincent Chang, the national editor, said the newspaper is published in both traditional and simplified Chinese. He said it is one of the three biggest newspapers in Taiwan, the other two being the China Times and the Liberty Times
He said the paper was founded by Wang Tiwu in 1951 as a merger of three newspapers -Popular Daily National and the Economic Times. He disclosed that the three newspapers formally merged in 1953, saying that in terms of political orientation, the UDN is strongly Pan-Blue and before Taiwan democratised, was an opponent of political reform. He added in the years since Taiwan democratised, the paper has advocated policies leading to an incorporation of Taiwan within China.

New SGA Officers Sworn in at Leadership Banquet
Thursday, April 17, 2014
Texas State Technical College's new Student Government Officers were introduced and sworn in at the Student Leadership Banquet on Thursday at the Cultural Arts Center.
Andrew Martinez-Diaz (president), Anglai Jimenez (vice-president), Valerio Mora (secretary), David Jurado (treasurer), Krystal Lui (historian) and Francisco Rodriguez (parliamentarian) will take over for the next three semesters (summer-spring).
Martinez Diaz is a graduate of Los Fresnos High School and enrolled in the Aviation Maintenance Technology Program. He hopes to work as an airline pilot one day.
"I plan to represent the students of TSTC by bringing the students, instructors, and staff of TSTC together and to have their voices heard," Martinez-Diaz, 18, said. "Being involved in student government can present many challenges but it can provide the experience and ideas that the students will need to be more efficient leaders."
Jimenez is from San Benito and has been an active volunteer for TSTC during the past year. Jimenez is a student in the Architectural Design and Engineering Graphics (ADEG) Program and plans to pursue a bachelor's degree and become a civil engineer one day.
"I want to bring new positive ideas to TSTC," Jimenez said. "Since we are a technical school, I think an active student body is beneficial to the students in order to make new friends and memories that'll last a lifetime."
Mora will take over as secretary. He's pursuing an associate's degree from the Mechatronics Technology Program.
"I just want to give my best effort during my term to motivate students by providing them with great activities and offer them a great college experience," said Mora, a Mission native.
Jurado is majoring in Computer Science and is one of two out-of-Valley officers. The El Paso native will take over as treasurer and hopes to help create a livelier campus for TSTC students by reaching out to those students.
"We need to engage the students who think their ideas might be too small or could never become a reality," Jurado said. "We need to stay in touch with student concerns and to assist in developing a stronger Mustang community."
Rodriguez will take over as parliamentarian and is currently pursuing an Associates of Science Degree in Engineering. He's also enrolled in the ADEG Program.
"It's very important that colleges have an active student government because they represent the students and stand by them on important decisions and changes around the campus," Rodriguez said. "A student body would offer other students help, benefits, and advisement so that they can have a good experience while also achieving their educational goals."
Lui is enrolled in the Dental Hygiene Program and is a native of Calgary, Alberta in Canada. She'll take over as historian.
"An active student government inspires the rest of the students to work together to build and promote an active community," Lui said.

MOSCOW: A Russian defense official is reported as saying that three Syrian attack helicopters that have been refurbished in Russia will be sent to Syria.
Last week, a cargo ship carrying the helicopters to Syria was forced to turn back after its British insurer removed the coverage for the vessel.
Alexander Fomin, the Russian defense official, was quoted by the Ria Novosti news agency as saying Thursday that Russia plans to deliver the helicopters, without specifying how or when.
Russia has said that the helicopters had been supplied to Syria during Soviet times and refurbished under a 2008 contract.
Moscow has continued to provide Damascus with arms, despite Western calls for a halt in supplies.

It is now inevitable that the euro will not survive. Given the paralysis of the eurozone countries, it cannot even be certain that its end will be a managed and ordered one.
We cannot fool ourselves that we are not approaching the onset of a European if not a global financial crisis whose shape and nature cannot be predicted but whose depth and duration will be significant.
Yesterday the credit agency Fitch downgraded Greece's credit rating to a Triple C as its fellow agency, Moody's downgraded the ratings of 16 Spanish banks – and of four of Spain's regions. The market response to these moves and to the continued slide of the euro against the US dollar was a drop in share values in Europe and the USA.
Theoretically there are two possible outcomes to the situation:
- The euro, the eurozone and the EU will progressively fail, in that order.
- All three will survive but only through the adoption of central control from Brussels of a common and stern fiscal policy – which is effectively the ceding of sovereignty.
That's the theory.
The reality is the former because the latter is not politically achievable and certainly not in the timescale available. Eurozone member states will also be weighing up the fact that, whichever way things go, they are going to be horrifically expensive – and there is greater certainty in a retreat to the familiar than in ceding authority in a step into the political unknown.
The First Minister would be seriously advised to consider calling off the independence referendum now, in the Scottish and the national interest – and in the interest of an eventual independence.
The financial maelstrom that is coming is not one that Scotland could conceivably survive on its own – or find its way. The crisis will also be long lasting – we are looking at what is already being called 'a lost decade'.
This situation will also have become an actuality before the 2014 referendum. In these circumstances the substantial majority will rightly vote for safety in numbers and the degree of shelter offered effectively by the powerhouse of London and the south east.
It would be statesmanlike and politically intelligent to postpone and to do it early so that efforts can be focused in preparations for dealing with the reshaping of our political and trading worlds and our financial systems.
Not to take this action would be proof of hardened political arteries and poor judgment.
Mr Salmond has already dropped the ball in failing to see the need for similar action when the banks collapsed in the Autumn of 2008. Not making that move then ended with an enforced retreat from the referendum. A swift and proactive decision at that stage to postpone in the national interest would have gained high ground that would have stood his cause in very good stead.
A major problem here is that the ambition of one man is blinding both himself and his party to the Scottish interest.
Mr Salmond, not unreasonably, wants to be the first First Minister of an independent Scotland.
The trouble is that personally he has little time to achieve this where Scotland has all the time in the world to wait for the right moment. The drivers are out of synchronisation and that is dangerously destabilising.
It is Mr Salmond's and his party's remarkable achievement that Scotland is now at a point where, as a nation not as a faction, it is prepared to consider independence without fear and as a rational achievable option – when the time is right.
It would be unutterably damaging and frankly, selfish beyond forgiving, to continue to pursue an independence referendum in the current circumstances – and it could only fail.
A genuinely wise man – and Mr Salmond has that capacity if he steps back and looks objectively at the situation, would see that there is only one thing to be done and that there is political advantage in doing it before the choice is taken from him.
As in Robert Frost's poem, After Apple Picking, Mr Salmond may personally miss the last couple of apples on the bough but his achievement in the journey on which he has conducted Scotland is one that will never be forgotten, unless he persists in what is now the wrong time.
If he takes the right decision now, there will be no doubt that Scotland will become independent. If he doesn't, he will make the coming crisis even worse and that may damage the ultimate success of his lifelong cause.

LOS ANGELES - Shailene Woodley plays the central character Tris in the new action film "Divergent," which opened in first place at the box office over the weekend. But the film, based on Veronica Roth's best-selling young-adult novel, features a large supporting cast. Here's a look at some of the other stars of the action film.
Plays: Four, the instructor who connects with Tris.
You know him from: His "Downton Abbey" character died after having sex with Lady Mary.
On finding the elements to play Four: "I had an immediate affinity with the character. I think we share certain qualities. You tend to try and use everything you share with a character in everything you do. I love this person who you don't know what he's thinking. He's the type of person when he walks into a room, doesn't need to be the loudest voice, but you still feel his presence. He's not someone who speaks too much, but you know he's thinking all the time. He's a very perceptive person. On top of that, there's kind of a dangerous stillness I felt he had when reading the book and the script."
Plays: Tori, a Dauntless member who unwillingly becomes a mentor for Tris.
You know her from: She starred in the CW Network series "Nikita."
On giving Tori depth: "When you are in the Dauntless faction, they are known for their bravery. They're a tough faction, and that can be a little flat and cold. You don't want that. You want the undertone to read properly when you are doing a film like this, so you aren't just watching a bunch of mean, driven group of people. What makes Tori engaging and mysterious is that line between what's felt and what's expressed."
Plays: Andrew, Tris' father.
You know him from: He plays the president on "Scandal."
On his "Divergent" character: "I had read the book and the character is similar to the book. I'll say that (director) Neil Burger in developing the book into the screenplay really fleshed out some of the some of the secondary characters more than they are in the book. He took a strong point of view with Andrew, where I think you have a lot of compassion and connection to our family which is really useful in telling the story."
Plays: Max, the top dog in the military-oriented Dauntless.
You know him from: Spent years working in the "ER."
On being in a big-budget action movie: "This was an interesting journey for me because I have never done a sequel-based film. I am use to being able to understand what the character's arch is in any given script by reading it from beginning to end. In this, I had certain things I knew I wanted to bring. It was interesting because I didn't know where the character was going."
Miles Teller
Plays: Peter, a member of Dauntless.
You know him from: He kicked up his heels in the remake of "Footloose."
On how he sees his character: "I don't think anyone wakes up and says 'I'm going to be mean today.' I think it comes from some kind of inner conflict and struggle, which Veronica talks about in her later books. Peter has a really nice arch by the end of it."
Jai Courtney
Plays: Eric, one of the leaders of Dauntless.
You know him from: He starred in the TV series "Spartacus: War of the Damned."
On how he plays the character different from the book: "I actually wanted to make Eric a little more likable than he seemed on the page. When you have a cast of characters like this they can feel a little functional. The challenge was to try and do something about that and dig in and find out what his motivation was."
Plays: Caleb, Tris' brother
You know him from: He was in the recent remake of "Carrie."
On turning the book into a movie: "I think the world is really three-dimensional. It's impressive because to have this kind of movie, that's the first in a series, you have to introduce a whole world. Introduce all the factions. Introduce all the characters. And then you have to tell a story on top of it."

Eric Kay, a member of the Angels' media relations department, was the first crime victim in the team's traveling party since it arrived in New York late Thursday night. Kay was at the Broadway show "Jersey Boys" with his wife after Saturday's day game when he left his wallet on a counter.
Kay walked into the theater when he realized he was without his wallet and turned around to retrieve it. The wallet was out of his sight for about a minute but when he got it back it was minus the $80 he arrived with.
Leave it to the kind members of the media to put together a collection and worth $45 for the absent-minded Angels employee. Here's to hoping he gives this cash to his wife for safe keeping.
Kay had been asking media members when he might make somebody's blog. Hey Eric, be careful of what you wish for.

Like Meccano? Love the Mercedes SLS E-Cell? Then why not combine your passions into a satisfying cocktail of skinned knuckles, frustration and anger by building the world's first electric kit car for the track?
All you need to do is buy the iRacer kit from Westfield and Birmingham City University for £13,999. For that you you get an aluminum frame, composite exterior paneling and all the other bits only James fully understands that help you turn and stop.
Unfortunately, you don't get the bit that makes you go - sourcing and financing the motor is all on you. You can choose from an old-school combustion engine, new-school hybrid or futuristic electric motor depending on how much money you have/what your sandals are made out of.
But it's the electro option that Westfield's pushing. The manufacturer suggests fitting two YASA-750 electric motors to drive the rear wheels. Sadly horsepower is limited to just 132 ponies, but the motors can deliver 550lb ft of torque (that's twice as much as an Ariel Atom V8) instantly.
As lithium-iron phosphate batteries aren't the lightest things in the world, the car is 180kg than the featherweight Atom. This means a top speed of 130-to-145 mph and a sub five-second 0-60 mph time. And weight isn't the only catch with electric motors. The iRacer can only be driven like a yob for 25 minutes before it needs re-juicing. Not one for Le Mans, then...
But before you race it you've got to build it. And as Jeremy, James and Richard discovered when they tried to build a kit car quicker than the Stig could race from England to Scotland, it's not that easy.

Pete, June 2012
I realize not everyone cares about what I've been going through as a caregiver to my step-grandfather. But with the crazy statistic that 65.7 million Americans care for a family member with a terminal illness, I thought I'd continue to share my journey with Pete and his Alzheimer's with you. Previous posts here and here.
So here we are, six months later.
When I began taking care of my step-grandfather, Pete, I never thought it would go on for this long. We (me, my stepdad, and mom) are currently in the process of interviewing professional caregivers, both due to Pete's deteriorating condition and my need to get back to my full-time job. I'm a graphic designer as well as a blogger, and while at first I was able to get work done during the day that's no longer the case. I'm looking forward to the day when I can go back to being his advocate and not the bad guy.
Over the past three months Pete's Alzheimer's has progressed considerably, as we knew it most likely would. He essentially has no ability to make decisions, even simple ones like what he'd like to drink or eat. The repetitiveness that was already excessive has quadrupled, I think his short-term memory times out around thirty seconds which can be difficult for us to remember ourselves. It's so easy to take such things for granted. One major change is Pete's ability to become angry. He's always been a very laid back guy, but now gets agitated and occasionally raises his voice. I know it's the disease talking, but I'd be lying if I said it didn't hurt to be on the receiving end of. His appetite, which has always been robust, has gradually begun to wan and his voracious newspaper reading has lessened as well. He's also speaking much less often and has a tough time carrying on even the smallest of conversations. This most likely has to do with his shrinking vocabulary, he's embarrassed at using the wrong words which elude him frequently. He also nods off much more often (granted, he is 88) and stares off into his own world for sizable parts of the day. Sometimes when he wakes up he has no idea where he is, or where he slept the night before. All of it breaks my heart, but I can't even begin to imagine how terrifying it must be for him living inside that mind.
A few months ago we did start looking at nursing homes, where he will eventually end up living out his days. Lucky for us there's a fantastic place only a few miles from my house that caters specifically to Alzheimer's patients. I visited first, them took my stepdad, and my mom will check it out soon as well. The administration and staff are incredible, the coordinator herself having lived through the disease with her own mother-in-law.
Because I've been writing these post in three month intervals, it's scary to think what might happen between now and the next one. The man I help to take care of day in and day out is now a stranger most days. I cherish the small lucid moments he experiences when he gives me a hug and says just how much he loves me.
Oh Kel. This made me cry. You are doing such a wonderful thing caring for Pete. It is just one example of what an amazing person you are. Thank you for sharing all of this here for others, like me, to read.
07-09-12 » 11:08 am »
This must be so hard for you and your family. I am sure that Pete loves you so much, deep inside his heart. You are such a strong person and you're doing a great thing to help Pete during this time in his life.
Sending love and support your way,
07-09-12 » 11:10 am »
I frequent your blog regularly but somehow missed your Pete posts. You are doing such a wonderful thing. I can't imagine what you must be going through – seeing someone you love in pain is so tough. You're in my thoughts!

please oh please hold tight to the good moments and the great memories, the scared and angry is just the disease, not him!
i thought this video was very moving… maybe something to try?

Thank you for sharing this difficult experience with us. Life is so precious, and I believe it's important to realize our daily blessings, whether big or small. Some day we'll all grow old, and in the process we can only hope to have such caring people surrounding us, too. Thoughts and prayers to you and your family.
07-09-12 » 12:13 pm »
oh, kelly, you are so inspiring. you are both amazing.
07-09-12 » 12:14 pm »
Huge hugs from me…
07-09-12 » 12:28 pm »
Thank you for sharing a little of your experiences as a caregiver. Both of my parents had to care for their mentally ailing parents, and I know how emotionally draining it can be. It's not much, but I'm sure all of your readers are sending you good thoughts during this hard time.
07-09-12 » 12:43 pm »
I can not even begin to imagine how that must all feel. When my Dad went through a heart attack a few years ago he went for about a week not recognizing anyone and raising his voice at me constantly (even though he is usually a very laid back person). It was such a crushing experience for me – you are truly an amazing, strong, and caring person to be caring for Pete. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family.
07-09-12 » 1:00 pm »
Just so you know – I think what your doing is amazing and it takes great strength and courage to help the way you do.
My grandfather also suffers from dementia, though I don't live so close to the so I see them only once in a month or so (more when Im off on school vacation) – yet I always feel on the one hand that I want to be with him as much as possible while he is here, on the other hand its so scary and frustrating to see him like this. So what Im trying to say – I know how you feel, and I admire your loyalty to your family.
Stay strong, and I also wish you more "good days".
Noa, from Israel.
07-09-12 » 2:39 pm »
I really do appreciate you keeping us apprised of Pete and his condition and how honest you've been during this whole time. I'm sorry to hear that he has declined more since the last time we've heard about him but I'm glad you guys are hiring a professional caregiver. It should be a bit of a relief for the rest of the family and hopefully help you appreciate your time with him more
07-09-12 » 2:48 pm »
Thanks for the update on Pete. Your comment about three-month intervals struck me particularly hard, and has inspired me to write about my own father's progressive dementia. I hope you get enough of those lucid "I love you" moments. I admire your strength.
07-09-12 » 3:39 pm »
I'm not sure if this can offer you any comfort but I hope that it does. I wanted you to know that although it can't feel like it right now you're very lucky to have had time to come to terms with his condition and to have been able to speak to him about the good memories he has and to have flashes of the 'old him' no matter how fleeting they become.
When my own grandmother succumbed to dementia it happened so quickly (we had all missed the early signs) that we were completely robbed of her, and one of my deepest regrets is not getting to know her better.
I too hope you get many more of the lucid moments.

My mom was one of the main care-givers for my grandmother who had Alzheimers, Parkinsons, and Dimentia when she reached the end of her life. It was always difficult when she didn't realize who I was or who my mother was, but those moments that you have experienced when they express their love for you is really a wonderful feeling. She was treated wonderfully at a nursing home, and lived comfortably through the end of her life. I want to thank you for all of the updates about your Step-father, and tell you that I really admire your strength and your mother's and step-father's. It can be a hard thing, but I find it so heart breaking when people give up so easily when taking care of those with the disease. Thank You.
07-09-12 » 7:08 pm »
My grandfather had Alzheimer's and I can't imagine what you must be going through. I wasn't with him all of the time so I don't know for sure if he "knew" what was happening or was scared of it. But the moments he was "there" were the best moments, and made the other times more bareable. It's tough, what you're going though, and I wish you the best. You are doing a great thing, taking care of him.
07-09-12 » 7:27 pm »
This is heartbreaking—I feel for you so much. Hang in there.
07-09-12 » 7:30 pm »
It is so hard to see the parent turn slowly into a child. I had my father visit me a few weeks ago and it was so unnerving to see the decline. I send you positive vibes and a virtual hug.
07-09-12 » 9:29 pm »
I don't know your pain first-hand, I never took care of my grandmother, but she had very advanced Alzheimer's and dimensia before she passed. It was tough that she only ever thought I was the cleaning lady.
I also taught watercolor classes at a nursing home that specialized in Alzheimer's and Dimensia patients. That was probably the most heartbreaking of all. There was a woman who couldn't paint, let alone hold the paint brush. It was like watching a six month old in an 80 year old's body, seeing her try to make art.
Her husband just so happened to be visiting that day, and as I was working with her he disappeared. He came back with a stunning floral painting, that she had done only 8 years prior. My heart broke to bits.
I really believe that there's something better after this life, and those whose brains and bodies that have been marred by diseases are mended and made whole in the after life.
I hope the home or full-time care pulls through as a positive experience.
07-09-12 » 9:58 pm »
I love your site…new fan. So I had no idea about what you have been going through personally. Wishing you much strength.
07-09-12 » 10:00 pm »
Kel, I had no idea. I'm so sorry. I'm sending you the biggest hugs. I always knew you were amazing, but your selflessness is what really gets me. I wish I had the right words to say, but all I know is that Pete feels your presence and love for him even when the memory of it moves on.
07-09-12 » 10:07 pm »
Kelly ~
You are a kind soul with an amazing heart. Thank you for sharing this deeply personal part of your life. I'm sure deep down he loves and appreciates everything you and your family have done. My thoughts are with you and your family.
xo Ally
07-09-12 » 10:24 pm »
Kelly, this must be so hard to see. My mom has been going through this with her mother. My grandmother lived with my mother for a while, but is living in a nursing home now. My mom visits her several times a week, but most of the time my grandma doesn't recognize her. They live in Louisiana, so I don't get to see them as often as I'd like. I didn't visit my grandmother last time I went there because my mom thought it would be better if I didn't see her. It's been almost two years since I've seen her. I think she knew who I was at one point during our visit, because she called my husband "Rob." My husband's name is Drew, but my ex-husband's name is Rob. My mom told her Drew's name and she was like, "I don't know why I want to call him Rob." I smiled and said, "Oh, it's okay. I do." I'm not sure if I will see her again, and that makes me sad. Sometimes I think I should go back even though my mom thinks it would be hard for me. My mom doesn't even talk about her anymore and I know that it's been so hard for her to have to watch her mother disappear.
I'm sending lots of hugs your way. xoxo
07-09-12 » 10:36 pm »
I must have missed the earlier posts about Pete, but I wanted to tell you how selfless and giving you are. It takes a special person to take on such an important but difficult task. I enjoyed the laughs last night and hope we can do it again soon.
07-09-12 » 10:43 pm »
Oh Kelly, Alzheimer's scares me so much. You and your family are doing your very best with your generous hearts to help Pete as much as you can. I wish you all much love.
07-09-12 » 11:13 pm »
Gosh, I can't imagine living like that. It must be very disturbing for him, to say the least. My heart goes out to you and your family. Wishing you continued strength
07-09-12 » 11:16 pm »
you are true goodness. your family and pete are so blessed to have you and your selfless, loving soul. there's hope for the world when i read stories like this…we need more beautiful people like you on this planet.
07-10-12 » 12:39 am »
I don't know if you believe in God or Karma (or the same thing by a million other names), but just know that you're a blessing and are making a difference in the world in a very tangible way. My grandmother recently passed and she suffered dementia at the end — I firmly believe that those memory-stealing diseases are the hardest on the family. I guess the only thing to do is to cherish the lucid moments and keep them to look back on during the tougher ones. I'm so sorry for what your family is soldiering through, but so grateful that Pete has someone like you. Hang in there. xoxo
07-10-12 » 12:42 am »
You are amazing Kelly!!!! My mother and I took care of my Grandma the last 2 years before she passed away and it was emotionally draining. But through it all I realized how blessed my grandma felt, even though she sometimes couldn't express it correctly. It takes strength to see this through and you are one strong cookie! I'm praying for you dear friend.
07-10-12 » 1:22 am »
Thank you for posting this. I´ve never been through something like that but i can imagine… You´re so good and brave. Stay strong!
07-10-12 » 7:42 am »
Kelly, I think it's so important that you're writing about this experience. Thank you for sharing, my thoughts are with you and your family. You are amazing!
07-10-12 » 9:06 am »
selfless and caring. we all should be so lucky to be on the receiving end of what you give to him during this time.
I admire you.
07-10-12 » 9:51 am »
Alzheimer's has effected my grandmother in the exact same patterns. It's very hard to watch. It's a sickness that takes people prisoner. A couple things that have been really successful for us. 1. Get him a baby doll. I know this sounds crazy, but its unbelievable how much it helped. My grandmother loves caring for the dolls.
2. Picture books with simple reading. I've spent hours reading Laura Ingalls, Dr. Seuss, etc.
Just thought I would share what's been working for us. My grandmother is in a care-giver home for all Alzheimer's patients. It's a really difficult thing, my heart goes out to you.
07-10-12 » 11:10 am »
I missed your previous posts on Pete as well somehow, I had no idea this was going on in your personal life.
Your strength and courage in this situation is admirable. I've had a grandmother pass a few years ago after years of Parkinson's and dementia, eventually she didn't know who my mother was, let alone me. It was hard to watch, and I learned a valuable lesson: my mother was the one that needed comforting through this, not my ailing grandmother (well she did, but her confusion progressed the point she was blissfully unaware of anything but chocolate) — my mother was witnessing an presence she had her entire life disappear before her eyes. My purpose came as a steady support system for my mom.
If you ever need anything, a helping hand, a cup of coffee with a friend or just someone to hash it all out and vent to — please don't hesitate to reach out to me.
Also, since I missed designcrush's bday on Sunday, we should all do dinner again
07-10-12 » 11:28 am »
My mom went through this with her mom, but at the time I was too young to really understand the extreme toll it took on her and the whole family. Thank you for being willing to share your story.
07-11-12 » 12:03 am »
What an incredible gift you are giving to Pete and the rest of your family. May you know peace and courage in the daily grind and in the days ahead. Even in the smallest of details your care is an ever present reminder to Pete that he is not alone.
07-11-12 » 3:18 am »
truly. my heart goes out to you. strength isn't born. it's created through endurance. and it hurts. i wasn't there for my own grandfather when he went through dementia. he was up in NY; i'm in VA; we have a huge family so noone asked for my help. I would go to visit with my mother though. It was heart breaking; he lost all english and forgot names. It just doesnt seem fair and makes me fear the aging process. We too shall be there one day it would appear my friend… may we have loved ones there to support as our grandpa's (step or direct) have had. Big hugs girl <3 You're an angel.
07-11-12 » 5:13 pm »
I second Rachael's recommendation about simple reading. My grandmother (I don't know if she's been diagnosed with Alzheimer's—it's possible that she has been and my mom has not told me for some reason) loved Nancy Drew as a girl and we thought those books might be a comfort to her, but soon realized that the suspense of the mystery stories, by nature, was upsetting if she was having a bad day. The Little House books and E.B. White's books have been much better. Has Pete ever been a comics guy? He might enjoy those, or graphic novels.
Music has also been a source of healthy stimulation for my grandmother, and it has a calming influence on us when we're with her, too!
07-13-12 » 10:09 am »
I admire you so much. I have a masters in SW and specialized in gerontology…then worked as a case manager with older adults and families going through this (before I moved to where my degree is not valid!). it was the toughest thing i've ever done though, especially having watched my great grandpa move through alzheimers and now my great grandma. I live so far away and was just home in May and got to visit her everyday – I understand your last line about the moments of lucidness when they are back! It's the best thing in the world. Keep up your amazingness – you are doing one of the hardest jobs ever.
07-14-12 » 7:13 am »
Hi Kelly. I just came across your blog and feel like I came across a diamond! You beautifully vocalized so many of the emotions I've experienced in the last 5 years caring for my grandmother. Most people don't fully understand how draining caregiving is at every level. I send you prayers of strength and love as you go through this. I've realized the caregiving experience connects you back to the cycle of life, forcing you to confront fears and ultimately reminding you to appreciate the blessings you have now.
07-15-12 » 9:31 pm »
I've admired you for taking in foster dogs, and today I learn you're looking after Pete as well. You have a beautiful heart, and I thank and acknowledge you for that.
07-16-12 » 12:31 am »
I rarely read about someone who is dealing with dementia themselves. It usually seems to be experienced(by my peers) at a remove, a grandparent or great aunt. My mother started developing dementia at the age of 66, (she is 75 now, in a nursing home)so I know what you are going through too well. It is nice though, to read about it alongside beautiful things. Its hard to explain but I think what I am trying to say is thank you for including your step dads illness on your blog. I wrote a blog about my mum for a while but found it hard enough living the experience, reliving it to write about it seemed a step to far. The very best of luck with the transition to the nursing home.
07-16-12 » 7:34 am »
I admire you and also send you virtual support during this. Our design-y art-y bloggy stuffs are all about beauty and loveliness and often the reality of life is in the background. The far background. Especially the caring for aging parents and grandparents stuff.
When your parents and grandparents are young, you can't really imagine what it's like to be that sandwich with small kids on one side and the elderly on the other. But it's real life and we'll all be there someday too.
My grandmother had Alzheimers and although my MIL doesn't, she is 88 and has some short term memory issues. Still in her own home but teetering on the edge of needing full time care. So far so good.
Just having all that on your mind like you do but still living your day-to-day life makes for a lot of grown up thinking and sometimes not a lot of fun.
Hang in there. And know that you are doing a gracious and loving thing.
07-16-12 » 9:46 am »
I can't even imagine. You're all so lucky to have each other.
07-16-12 » 7:54 pm »
Found you via designmom and I am so glad I did. I'm weeping over my keyboard. Hugs.

Thank You so much for sharing your story. My dad's story ended in tragedy. You can read about it here:
Please consider telling your readers about the non-profit agency http://www.projectlifesaver.org
Project Lifesaver is a company that provides training and resources that help police agencies search for individuals with Alzheimer's, autism, Down syndrome, dementia or other cognitive conditions. Citizens enrolled in Project Lifesaver wear a small personal transmitter around the wrist or ankle that emits an individualized tracking signal. If an enrolled client goes missing, the caregiver notifies their local Project Lifesaver agency, and a trained emergency team responds to the wanderer's area.
07-19-12 » 2:17 pm »
What you're doing is wonderful, Kelly. I have no idea how it is to take care of someone with Alzheimer's, but I do know that taking care of someone who's old in age is extremely hard.
We went through it with my grandmother, may she rest in peace, but I wouldn't trade those hard days for the world!
No good deed goes unrewarded, and you can be sure that when you get to Pete's age, there will be someone as loving and gentle as you, who will be there taking care of you.

Mount Royal Hotel Postcard
A large folding post card with a picture of Mount Royal Hotel, Montreal, Canada. As you can see from the photo there is a piece torn out. Mailed Oct 27, 1946 8PM from Montreal. It has a purple 3 cent stamp. Oh, oh, 8 cents due! Written to Mrs. John Bowie, 62 Grafton Ave., Milton, Mass. The letter is quite long and speaks of a wedding this lady missed due to an accident and tells of the senders trip.
Includes postage in USA
Kissing boy and girl Postcard
Well, this is going to be a challenge. First the postcard has some pieces missing which you can see in the photo. It was mailed in Mass in 1905 (hard to read date). There is a 1 cent postage due stamp. It is addressed to Miss Clara Haraman (Hareman), 28 Chestnut St. Bartan, Mass. Now the fun begins, I have not any idea what language this is written in....I hope you do.

Someone...gee thanks a lot...punched holes in this card, however it does not take away from the genealogical information. I cannot read the date it was mailed but has a 1 cent stamp. I think the early 1900's looks as if it may be 1920. Sent to Mr and Mrs Charles Adam, RFD, Box 21, Winthrop, Maine. "I am having a dandy time. Yours as ever. Expect to get home Friday. Marion"

#InTheVillage on False Creek Part 58: The Bone and Bowl is open for business
|Welcome to In The Village on False Creek, a unique project inspired by Live@YVR and 365 Days of Dining. I've moved my family into this community with my mission being to showcase the myriad of things that make it awesome by bringing you a weekly scoop!
The Bone and Bowl is officially open for business on the corner of Salt Street and Athlete's Way, right now to London Drugs and across the street from Creekside Rec Centre! Self described as "an upscale, friendly and convenient pet store that goes beyond your average shopping experience", it's a place where everybody brings their cats and dogs for treats, food, and anything they need.
The business was started by one of my neighbours (whom I actually knew before I moved into the Village!), Betsy Cooper. She believes that "it's the pets in this area that have truly transformed this neighbourhood into a community", and I can't argue that they're a big part of what brings neighbours together around here. She's pictured above with Archie, one of a few Labradoodles who call the neighbourhood home.
If you've got a cat or a dog, The Bone and Bowl have got pretty much everything you could hope for. Food…

turned American media on its head. Rossetto had no money, no home, no
job. Five years later he owned the hottest publication in America.
Gary Wolf, one of Wired's most popular writers, offers an insider's
account of the founding of a magazine that changed America.
In the 1990's, the Day-Glo pages of Wired were everywhere - on
television, passed around the halls of Congress, displayed in the
office of the president of the United States. Wired's headquarters in
San Francisco became a pilgrimage site for everybody who wanted to be
at the center of the digital revolution. Not since the early days of
Jann Wenner and Rolling Stone had anybody so brilliantly channeled the
enthusiasms of his era.
