YIELD: Makes about 2 dozen 1 1/2-inch balls
Preheat the oven to 450°F. Drizzle the olive oil into a 9×13-inch baking dish and use your hand to evenly coat the entire surface. Set aside.
Combine the ground beef, ricotta, eggs, bread crumbs, parsley, oregano, salt, red pepper flakes, and fennel in a large mixing bowl and mix by hand until thoroughly incorporated.
Roll the mixture into round, golf ball-size meatballs (about 1 1/2 inches), making sure to pack the meat firmly. Place the balls in the prepared baking dish, being careful to line them up snugly and in even rows vertically and horizontally to form a grid. The meatballs should be touching one another.
Roast for 20 minutes, or until the meatballs are firm and cooked through. A meat thermometer inserted into the center of a meatball should read 165°F.
While the meatballs are roasting, heat the tomato sauce in a small saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring often.
When the meatballs are firm and fully cooked, remove them from the oven and drain the excess grease from the pan. Pour the tomato sauce over them. Return the meatballs to the oven and continue roasting for another 15 minutes.

Converts every jpg-, png- and tif-Image into grayscale-Tif's, uses unsharp-mask and adjusts levels for offset-printing; works also in Subdirectories.
This plug-in changes colors in an image based on the HSV difference between two colors. This is particularly useful for applying color themes to existing images.
It avoids burning out high saturation and value at the expense of compression them somewhat when the difference goes towards higher saturation and value.
Current bugs/missing features include:
Undo does not work.
It can't be used on indexed images, even though it would frequently have enough colors.
This script is intended for a series of photographs with (on each photgraph different) unwanted objects on it, e.g. a large place with moving people.
UPDATE 16 November 2008
i update all library to the newest version available.
But please note that Python itself may only partially updated (now is included 2.5.2 before was 2.5.0) since most of other py libraries included require python 2.5 and will not accept python 2.6.
And also about Python windows binary come in several version so if you have a peculiar architecture(i.e a X86 processor ) may be better for you download it directly here http://www.python.org/download/releases/2.5.2/
This python plugin reads names and addresses from a MySQL database and creates golden mailing labels (with optional return label).
I created this script out of the desire to have golden text on my wedding invitation and save the date envelopes. I may have taken this too far :-)
WARNING: Some understanding of SQL required.
Screen shots & Examples added (03-18-08)
The completed envelope(s) are either displayed or exported to a png or jpeg file. I found windows preview far more capable of printing than the GIMP (sorry everybody).
This small script create sprite "tape" (which are used as resources in 2D games) from separate images.
For using this script you must copy sprite_tape.py file in your Gimp python scripts directory (GIMP-2.0\lib\gimp\2.0\plug-ins for example), run Gimp, open your first frame of sprite tape, then using image menu: File->Open as layers open all other frames. After that using image menu Python-Fu->Sprites->Sprite tape launch the my script and input how many sprites will be placed in horisontal and vertical positions. Press Ok button!

This script adds every single layer to the background.
Every layer matched with the background is saved by the name of the layer in a directory called with the name of the image.

HSBC "lift" by Grey London
Agency: Grey London
Rating: 5.0
By Mark Banham, mediaweek.co.uk, Tuesday, 20 December 2011 11:42AM
The account, which includes over-the-counter medicines including Tixylix, Savlon and anti-smoking product Nicotinell, is worth £9m in the UK, according to Nielsen.
The global account is expected to be run from Starcom MediaVest Group's London office. The Publicis-owned agency will take on the business in April.
In a statement, Novartis said: "After an extensive evaluation and careful consideration, we can confirm that Novartis has selected Starcom MediaVest Group (SMG) as our new global media agency. While we are not remaining with GroupM, we appreciate the relationship we have had with them over the past several years."
The review of the account kicked off in April this year. In October, the drug company shortlisted Starcom MediaVest Group and the incumbent, following the elimination of fellow shortlisted agency Initiative.
Novartis, which is headquartered in Basel, Switzerland, has three other businesses called Pharmaceuticals, Vaccines and Diagnostics, and Sandoz Generics, a global supplier of generic medicines that are produced after a popular medicine's patent has expired.
In 2008, Novartis consolidated its US media planning and buying into MEC after moving its business from sibling agency Mindshare in a global realignment.

newer jazz will get more listeners....not many people that arnt familiar with jazz will go digging it up

Do you need data (or wifi) for the HRM or does it transmit through bluetooth?
- Asked by Sharon M from Lake City

1 Answer from the Community
Nope! It transmits over bluetooth 4.0 wireless technology which does not require data. Soem other parts of the App you're using with the Blue HR might require data though (for example, if you wanted to use a running or cycling app that has GPS functionality).

Biggest Reason to NOT Relocate Sidestand
It would be less hassle to fix a cracked the case than to get a correct title in California. Bastards. Am trying to get correct title in CA for a bike purchased out-of-state. No other state that I know of requires it but CADMV requires the engine number to be recorded along with the VIN.
Been to DMV 4 times. First time they recorded the casting number instead of the engine number. When I got the title I noticed the incorrect number.
I have documentation from the factory cross-referencing both the VIN and the Engine number. The relocated sidestand obscures the first 2 digits of the engine number. They are the year it was produced: 07.
Like it's really going to make a difference. Hello. Engines can be replaced.
They recorded the engine number incorrectly in the first place. A title was issued with the incorrect number so what difference does it make even if the number were recorded incorrectly again?
I should probably just not worry about it and let it be an issue for the next owner.
8 out of the 10 numbers can be seen. The two that can't are the model year. There's paperwork to correlate. But NO.
I get to return to the DMV, yet again. This time with NO kickstand.
I wish I could just ride in and let the bike fall on it's side in the handicapped parking space but those handicapped parking spaces are already taken by these mentally handicapped DMV employees who have no common sense.

I spent 7 moths registering my out of state, used GS Adventure. I had all the notorized paperwork completed in advance of my appointment. And still they kept requiring another form.
The best was registering my Audi fifteen years ago. They rejected it because it did not "say" "Audi" on the front of the car!
We finally got past that.
My next bike I'll buy new from within the confines of the republic of kalifornia.
I believe the mouth-breathing CADMV exists in an attempt to counter the weather. It took the original owner and me about fifteen minutes to conclude our business at the local DMV in Kansas City Kansas. The ladies there were all curious about my riding home and we ended up spending a lot more time talking. The nice lady even gave me a paper plate and extended it to 90 days instead of thirty.
The CADMV is like getting a flu shot; there is a little pain but it usually doesn't last too long. Though in this case it looks like they gave you bird flu.

Never thought I'd say this, but the CADMV has been great on my last two transactions- a car and a bike, both purchased out of state and brought in.
Yes, they are a high-volume place, and have been really crappy in the past, but the last two times were reasonable and fairly painless.

I'll admit it's a crap shoot at the DMV, but getting mad about it is a waste of time.
I arrived 5min early for an appointment made the previous week. After standing in the "Appointment" line for about 20min the guy there said "you're early, come back to the window in 5min".
I turned around; the line had grown by about 8 - 10 people. I said if I got back and waited in line I'd then be late. He said no, it'll be OK, he'd remember me.
So back in line I go, only to see him leave the counter and go into a back room. By the time I get to the front of the line, I am in fact 5min late for my 2:30 appointment. The lady now behind the counter looks down her nose at me and says "You're late, next time get here early". She gave me my number, I said thank you, I enlightened her about the previous 10min (I wanted to waste some of her time) and then waited til my number was called.
It was frustrating, but I went in prepared for the worst; I had researched every form related to motorcycles, non-op certs, unreadable engine & frame #'s - the works. It wasn't the apocalypse. I got an '87 LC4 that hadn't been registered for 6years and had an "unauthorized" street plate through the system and on the street in 1 appointment. It wasn't cheap, but it got done.
Did I get lucky? Maybe, but I knew what was potentially around the corner and I came prepared. I was also very pleasant to the drone behind the counter.

In all fairness, from my experience the DMV is always the worst state entity to deal with regardless of the state.
Beta? Who makes that? Not on our list. You're SOL.
Best was a vehicle that I've owned (second owner) free and clear for 20+ years. Had to get a duplicate title because at some point in those 20 years I lost the original. DMV required notarized proof that the finance company no longer had a claim to the vehicle. A finance company that no longer exists in a state 1,800 miles away. That only took a bit over 6 months.

Here the next available appointment is 3 1/2 MONTHs from now. For a freaking number verification that, including round-trip transit time from desk to/from parking lot, requires less than 2 minutes.

When I bought out an auto lease (originated in CA) it was a nightmare. You would think I was the only person in te state who had ever purchased their vehicle at the end on the lease. Multiple trips to DMV and lots of money. And then yes, when it became time for the registration renewal a year later, things were messed up and I could not renew. I ended up going to AAA (they have CADMV services) and not only did they fix the registration once and for all, they managed to get me a refund on the "overpaid" fees from the year before.

Except for special circumstances, such as when I replaced my 2004 525 EXC frame for the better-handling 2005 frame. I still haven't had it inspected yet, so I don't have the new title, but I was still able to get this year's license tab.
The best way to have a hassle-free visit with the DMV around here is to drive to an office well out of the metro area.

Back in the middle 70's I moved to California the first time, (I've done this twice now, and I keep saying when I leave I won't return.). I brought two motorcycles and a car.
The VW and the BMW were simple. The Norton not so much.
Norton as they were twisting and turning at the end of the rope never matched engine numbers to frame numbers.
CADMV had me make rubbings of the numbers and the CHP compared them and noted they didn't match each other. But, they matched the clear Colorado title I had in hand. That got me through that mess.
Now, the funny part to all this was when I bought that bike new in Colorado, European spec bike so it wasn't like other US models but there might be one person at one DMV someplace in the US that might notice that. The differences were quieter end cans and airbox, and a 7.2 gallon steel tank in place of the leak-prone fiberglass.
Colorado CHP wanted to drill my frame and attach their own serial numbers. I told them if they put a drill to the frame they were buying me a motorcycle. We got a supervisor and that was the end of that discussion.
In the case of my 2004 BMW Adventure I showed up with all the specified paperwork in order, notarized and signed by everybody required for an out of state sale.
It was as if I was trying to import an alien life form or asking to carry U235 around as a counterweight while farting radon gas.
They wanted to see on the emission sticker where it said the bike was specifically a California bike. the bike was completely stock CAT, evap charcoal canister all intact, and visible. They never looked at those, probably couldn't have identified either anyway.
They extended my temporary plate twice telling me the last time that they couldn't extend it again. At my new appointment I asked why I couldn't get another extension. I had provided all paperwork in accordance with their demands and nothing was in any way out of order. Finally after they looked back through my paperwork for about the 6th time having requested a form I'd submitted at my initial appointment and they had taken, (I had copies), I got a real plate and registration.
When I moved in the late 90's the last time to California I registered my BMW built from two wrecks with a salvage title from Colorado at the Auto Club office. Took about 5 minutes, and I did the mini-van at the same time.
All of which really makes me think vehicle registration should just be national as well as driving licenses. That would cock it up nicely I'm sure.
Favorite questions and statements from my decades experience with the CADMV:
1. Are you a cop? After completing the riding test, both back in the 70's and this last time in 1997.
2. This is a dirtbike, you need a green sticker, (referring to the 2004 BMW 1150 GS Adventure, (Tourances on it at the time).

But, not this time. Even got an AAA supervisor involved. They insisted they must see the entire number. If they can't see the number without putting a knee on the ground they won't even look. It's against their rules/policy.
AAA also was insisting I needed a Green sticker and they can't do that. Granted it is a SUPER Enduro but last time I checked street-legal bikes don't need Green stickers.
CHP can do the verification also. So far they appear to be the most willing to assist. The VIN verification officer told me the appointments are all booked for months in advance but show up and he'd try to work me in.
Right now it's looking like the best option is to remove the side stand and return to DMV Purgatory because they are about 25 miles closer than CHP.

mmm AZ DMV were happy to wait while I removed the bracket and shrouds to view the engine and VIN numbers. They only needed to do this as it was a Canadian import otherwise they would have done it from the title.

I realize this is a thread intended to slam the CA DMV, but in the 25 years I've lived in California I haven't had a single bad experience at the DMV. In fact, the first time I went to the Pleasanton DMV, I asked if they had one of those "how am I doing" forms so that I could praise the DMV worker who was both friendly and efficient. A significant change from the DMV in the state I had recently left. Apparently it was fairly rare for someone to say something good about the DMV, though.
I never bothered making appointments because they were always at least two weeks out. I've shown up a few times near noon and had to wait 30-45 minutes, but usually I showed up right when they opened and was out of there in 20 minutes. People get there early and wait outside the door, but once the door opens they sort everybody out into groups depending on whether they are there for a driver license issue or registration, and the registration line is usually short enough early in the day.
I think the only thing I've found to be a bit annoying is the time it takes to pick up a vanity plate. You ought to be able to walk in with the old plate, have them print the new registration, give you the special plate, and be out of there in two minutes, but you still have to wait in the same line as everyone else, so it takes 20 minutes (or more). And I'm not waiting two weeks for an appointment for my special plate - I want it now!
I haven't tried out the Folsom DMV yet.

I'm on the road in Northern Indiana but here to offer you some great material to couple with Sunday's newspaper and buttery toast.
Another Timelapse Wonder
Making you feel very, very small in this beautiful world in 65 seconds or less…
Describing the Difficult
Big Tony does it again.
…I've seen a lot of things. But no place has so utterly confounded me, intimidated, horrified, amazed, sickened, depressed, inspired, exhausted and shown me–with every passing hour–how wrong I was about everything I might have thought only an hour previous. This is a country, founded by freed slaves from America–and intended to be very much in our image– but recently emerged from civil wars so brutal, so surrealistically violent as to defy imagining, where drugged gunmen in wedding gowns and wigs once shot hacked (and frequently cannibalized) their way into power. It is also a place where mothers and grandmothers stripped off their clothes and naked and unarmed, confronted those same gunmen mid-massacres, getting them to stop. It is now the first African nation with a woman president. It's a country where you find 28 year olds proudly graduating from high school–the school system having evaporated during the many years of conflict. There's a church on nearly every corner–but underneath it all, traditional "masked societies" still rule the hearts and minds and behaviors of many…
I love the way he describes a place with incredible, raw honesty and accuracy of thought. Read this blog post by our traveling man, Anthony Bourdain, on the country he recently visited and claims is the location of the hardest episode in the history of his show.
Travel Yourself Stupid
Usually, I like to highlight Gary Arndt's photography in these Sunday posts, but today I'd like to bring attention to his recent post about an awareness of ignorance heightened only by experiences on the road.
Do you think it's true that the more you travel, the stupider you feel? Donald Rumsfeld is among those that do.
Here are a few excerpts from Gary's musings:
It is entirely possible for an ignorant person to think they are smart. They know so little, and have been exposed to so few ideas, that that have no idea what they are ignorant of. In their world, they know everything because their world is so small.
Thankfully, ignorance is not bliss. The increasing gap between what you know you know, and what you know you don't know means you are being exposed to new things and only fuels your desire to fill the gap.
If you travel and come away feeling dumber than you did before you started, don't worry. It means you are doing it right.

Update on Nomadderwhere
This week was a little rough, equal parts celebratory and sad. But I'm very excited for what's to come in the next month at Nomadderwhere. I hope you are, too…even though you don't know what I'm referring to.
1 Minute or Less Moments: There's still so much you haven't seen from our trip to Fiji, which is why I'm on week three of posting raw video files onto my Nomadderwhere Facebook Fan page. This week, new videos are ready for your viewing eyes. Click on the icon below to watch a 7 year-old weeding with a machete, walk with us to see the cyclone damage, and admire a landslide and the surrounding Fijian landscape.
8 More Days: Are you ready for my upcoming Carnival of Blogs? My domain's "birthday" is coming next week, and I'm wrapping up my daily posts, which start publishing Monday, March 29th! Highlighting the year's best stuff, a wide range of media, and a couple brand new ideas and series to Nomadderwhere.com, you won't be bored. And if you're a fan of my Facebook page, don't worry; you'll receive a little reminder so you don't miss the good stuff.

The Kardashians
Kim Kardashian Admits Kanye West Is More Stylish Than She Is
Kim Kardashian may be fond of her own seemingly perfect appearance, but the reality starlet doesn't hesitate to acknowledge her fashion shortcomings, no matter how rare they might be!
Earlier this week, the curvaceous socialite called attention to one of her outfits and admitted that the look wasn't working. Now, Kim has fessed up to the fact that she thinks her boyfriend, Kanye West, has better style than she does.
"He has amazing taste," Kim told Life & Style. "Kanye has better style than I do!"
And while Kanye is quick to offer up fashion advice or completely redo Kim's closet, the reality star is insistent about the fact that she's not her boyfriend's Barbie.
"Kanye doesn't style me. He's a little busy to be my stylist," Kim said when asked if Kanye was behind her new sleek look. "I wanted a change to reflect the growth that I feel I've had over the past year. I asked him to introduce me to new stylists and designers to help me get the more sophisticated vibe I was going for."

Double-entendres: the problem with symbolic shortcuts
This is not a particularly profound post (which, incidentally, is not to claim that regular posts on Q are either), but having just finished Sarah Lyall's rather delightful (if affectionately acerbic) The Anglo-Files: A Field Guide to the British, I came across this amusing story from the Blair landslide of 1997 at which a record number of women (very patronisingly described at the time as Blair's babes) were elected to Parliament.

Friday Fun 41: Mitchell & Webb debunking conspiracy theories
Some readers will know that my current obsessions are conspiracies and suspicions. One of these days, these may coalesce into something substantial. But that feels a long way off at the moment. Ho hum. But for now, if you want some brilliant ripostes to those who suck up every conspiracy theory going, then my suggestions are twofold:
- Read, mark, learn and inwardly digest David Aaronovitch's superb Voodoo Histories, reviewed here some months back.
- Watch, chuckle and take very seriously indeed these little gems from the wondrous archive of Mitchell & Webb.
Friday Fun 40: Musical comics and comical Musicians
They don't make 'em like this anymore. 3 entertainment heroes: Morecambe, Borge & Dawson, all passed on, but all wonderful in their different ways. And they had impeccable timing, comedic and musical.
Enjoy. Read more
Friday Fun 32: How to live your life to the MAX
This is a serious bit of randomness (or should that be randomity?) from my son (Bananamationman) and his best chum Tyler (Tee_Po).
They were at a loose end a couple of weekends ago and so crafted this raster superb and searing satire on the self-help industry. I'd even go so far as to say it was prophetic, actually. Almost pythonesque, in fact.
Watch, and be inspired. Read more
Friday Fun 31: The Traveller's Life lost in translation
Never one to lose the momentum of a bandwagon, here are some more great moments from Charlie Croker's Lost in Translation. All very silly and as I said last week, very unfair.
But quite fun nonetheless.
Friday Fun 30: Hotel Life lost in translation
Just for a change, here are a few choice quotations from this rather fun tome, Charlie Croker's Lost in Translation. Of course, it's never fair to make fun of people's mistakes in a language not their own. After all, I dread to think of all the terrible errors I've made when speaking French.
However, it's a slightly different matter when it happens on official signs or notices. So here are some taken from hotels around the world.
60-second adventures in religion
I can't remember who told me about these, but they're fab. The Open University Religious Studies is obviously plugging its wares – but fair enough. The results are wonderful and very useable in all kinds of places I suspect – wryly humoured animation with the added bonus is the wonderfully-suited satirical voice of David Mitchell. Read more
Friday Fun 27: The delights of political Amphibology
Well, the US presidential election is in its final month at last. Will any of us sleep safely in our beds again?
History has been full of people who have hedged their bets and emulated the venerable Vicar of Bray. And in smaller ways, politicians are doing it all the time. Saying things that don't actually say too many things in case they be accused of actually saying things they don't want to be heard actually to be saying. Read more
The subversive messages of a dollar bill
I'd been vaguely aware of these from a while back, but had never looked carefully at them. It wasn't until they were used as running gags in last week's New Yorker money edition that I sat up and noticed. Dan Tague has created a series of prints in 2008 of dollar bills folded in such a way as to reveal all kinds of subversions of American capitalism and western materialism. There is something rather delicious about making a dollar spell out 'American Idol' or an American revolution battle cry, or the best advice of the contemporary conspiracy theorist.

The Loser Letters: impish wit and a satirical dissection of atheism
Mary Eberstadt has a wonderful turn of phrase and an impish wit, which are used to devastating effect in her 2010 book The Loser Letters. She boldly takes on the mantle of C S Lewis' Screwtape, but instead of infiltrating the murky world of Wormwood's diabolical apprenticeship, she joins the New Atheists in their quest to crush theism. So she writes 10 open letters, in the persona of A.F.Christian (i.e. 'a former Christian'), to some of the leading lights of the movement like Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris and Christopher Hitchens. With great relish she writes to advise 'The Brights' (atheists) on how better to defeat 'The Dulls' (Christians), and above all to undermine belief in 'The Loser' (God). At times, the result is laugh-out-loud funny. Read more
Happy Thanksgiving from the New Yorker

So did Sherlock Holmes (HonFRSC) REALLY live round here?
Sherlock Holmes is always with us. Every time I walk down Baker St (which is often because we live just behind it), the point is driven home. We love Benedict Cumberbatch's contemporary take on Sherlock, but that's not what I'm getting at. For a bit further up the street from us, there is in fact a "Sherlock Holmes Hotel", believe it or not. But let's be clear about this. There is no famous London Blue Plaque at 221B, because, of course, he DIDN'T exist. Read more
Friday Fun 13: Beware men with Guns and Megaphones
The US cop show has immersed us all into the clichés of American gun culture. It is one aspect of American life which most of us find hardest to comprehend (especially when it gets defended theologically by the Christian right – though if this is where you are coming from, please help us out here – I do want to understand how it can still be justified other than on purely pragmatic grounds). After all, in contrast to most police forces in the world (including across Europe), the British police do not carry guns while on normal duties. And I would argue that we are all much safer as a result. Read more
Friday Fun 9: Humbert Wolfe's The British Journalist – #Hackgate The Poem
In the light of recent events, it seems only appropriate to bring this back to the forefront of public attention. You've seen the trailer for Hackgate The Movie – now read Hackgate The Poem. Written by Humbert Wolfe in the 1920s, it shows that little has changed over the last century or so… Read more
Friday Fun 7: PS What Whitehall Thinks of Canterbury
I said last week that I was offering the final instalment of Whitehall Wisdom. Well, I subsequently realised that I had omitted perhaps the most pertinent of the lot – the tangled web that has been weaved in the name of Church and State relations. This is primarily the result of that perfect CofE primer, the episode entitled The Bishop's Gambit. Read more

Friday Fun 6: Interpreting Civil Service Speak
One of the acute difficulties of British etiquette is the profound problem of meaning – there can be a huge disparity between the literal/surface meaning of words and the actual intended meaning as all visitors to these shores find to their confusion and even peril.

Dr. Christine Horner talks about women and breast cancer.
Dr. Christine Horner talks with Mary Glenney
From A Woman's Point of View | Listen to this entire show:
Dr. Christine Horner M.D. and surgeon has spent most of her medical career in the treatment and study of Breast Cancer. She was instrumental in getting legislation that mandated insurance companies to offer breast reconstruction after mastectomies. Troubled by the increasingly younger ages of her patients she was treating, she devoted her time and energy to understand the causes and correlating the research related to cancer that was getting very little attention. Her efforts have resulted in her book WAKING THE WARRIOR GODDESS now out in its second edition. Dr. Horner offers much advice which she feels could reduce one's chances of getting Breast cancer and augmenting recovery if you already have breast cancer. Her book is published by Basic Health.

In the mean time I'm planning to put up a few cardstock cars even though they don't have interiors they have pretty good exteriors to build and R in 1/24th scale and 1/18th scale so should look OK.

Hi Dingo5162, Well I'm into Meyers Manx buggies at present, having just posted one on 'kit reviews'. My next will possibly be just covered in carbon fibre decal and fit a Corvair motor! I've got a Nissan Touring Car and a resin Holden Clubsport to convert to a V8 Supercar with Valvoline decals from the Partsbox.

Patrick, wow ya going to convert a Clubsport to a V8 supercar good luck with that and I will look forward to seeing that on another part of the forum. Again sorry that I have been slow no so slow in posting on my thread here it's just that I been very busy lately with our gun club you see Patrick it's coming up to our AGM in July and as well its also the tme when we do our trophy presentation and ofcourse me being the club scorer I have had to along with another member get all the trophies p to scratch, it has been no mean feat with so many winners both as club champions for the month of March when we have our club champ matches and the yearly trophies for thoe who have done well and won with big scores during the year, anyway hopefully by the end of July I should get back to doing something on this thread and getting moore of my cardstock cars on here for U to see, as for the plastic ones well I'm sorry tsay they have come to an end as I can no ,onger afford to buy any with the Aussie dollar dropping in value like it has now at 96cents to the U.S dollar it makes a model here around $45 a kit now and I just can't afford that anymore so it's cardstock from now on FREE of the net.

In perfect hot, sunny weather, I took these photos today of ships and boats in Vancouver harbor. Cruise ships &, luxury yachts, the pinnacle of luxury. And a single ferry and a working barge!
Yesterday I was invited to go sit on a motor boat in the harbor. I declined. My reasons: I find this the most boring thing in the world. You sit on an machine, and look at one another. A few tepid drinks, desultory conversation, and dull perspectives. If you venture out into the water, you see the same scenes from only a slightly different perspective. You have to make insane remarks about how wonderous it all is. You have to admire seaweed, floating logs, and a rare swimming creature of no special interest.
For me, give me a bike with peddles. Thus you can move free & wide. See all there is to see, from funny shoes to mountain tops. The body responds with pain amelioration, and a tingle. So different to the torpor of sitting on a boat on uncomfortable cushions. I do not envy the rich in those fancy places on water—moving by machine while their bodies languish in inaction. Still gorgeous sights.

In going through my dinners from the last week I've noticed a theme. A ton of chicken.
I roasted a chicken and veggies last Sunday and I shared with Jake and had the chicken with lunch almost every day for lunch.
I stretched it a bit by mixing it with quinoa. I also can't keep my hands off the 'booch these days!
Then, I moved onto making a chef type salad. I had that for two dinners in a row. Also, butter lettuce? SO GOOD! Its my new favorite. I topped it with Tessamae's cracked pepper salad dressing. Paleo bloggers are all raving about these dressings and they are good but I think too expensive. I can just whip up a great dressing at home!
Jake grilled drumsticks and shared with me and also grilled broccoli. This is the first time I've ever had grilled broccoli and it was AMAZING. I ate it with my hands. Like an animal.
For breakfasts, I mostly had gluten free oatmeal mixed with almond milk, a tablespoon of cranberries, and peanut butter.
I attempted to grade some papers but this is what happened. The puppy didn't approve and then ate them. My dog ate the kids' homework. Ha!Even though the weather is warm here–around 70 degrees most days–I've still been digging on my tea in the evenings and the little messages that come with it.
Have a great Monday!

In the run up to Germany's legislative elections Chancellor Angela Merkel's party seem to have given up on political persuasion and instead resorted to sex. This latest poster, revealing ample cleavage, reads: "We have more to offer".
The poster comes from the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) candidate for the Berlin district of Kreuzberg. Vera Lengsfeld's message appears to be that both her and party leader Merkel have large cleavages. The voter can only assume she is referring in an obscure way to better policies...
PROLLblog ("Beefblog") is a satirical political blog written by an anonymous German blogger. In April 2008, the blog published a fake poster of Chancellor Merkel (below) which read "Of course there's growth in Germany - look at my tits!" The blog was of course delighted to see that the idea was put into practice by the party itself.
We explicitly welcome this understanding of the present-day functioning of politics and the media - and that of 'cleavage-ity'. But along with our joy comes some regret. Madam Lengsfeld, won't you admit, that it wouldn't have been too hard to say thank you to PROLLblog for the idea behind the poster."
Posted by PROLLblog 15 April 2008. Top: "Merkel heats things up". Below: "Of course there's growth in Germany - look at my tits!"
Wooow this is like ENCHILADAS AND TEKILLA arriva angala
LOL! These posters do not persuade me to give the candidates my vote, actually, they achieve the contrary.

Update: Google has announced on Twitter that it's pulling the app temporarily, while fixing the bugs. We'll let you know when it comes back.
Moments ago, Google released an official Gmail app for the iPhone/iPod touch and iPad. Here's our first look at this highly-anticipated app.
Both free and universal, the app's main goal is to duplicate all the bells and whistles already available to Gmail customers who use the service through a traditional web browser. These include being able to read mail with threaded conversations, and organizing the emails by archiving, labeling, starring, deleting, and reporting spam. In addition, the app provides notification badges for new messages.
Other features include:
- Keep track of important messages with priority inbox
- Auto-complete contact names as you type
- Send and receive attachments
- Search through all your mail
First Up – An Error
The first time you enter the Gmail app (on both the iPhone and iPad), you'll see a pesky "Notification Error." Once logging into your Gmail account for the first time, however, the error message goes away never to return. From there, the app looks very much like…Gmail on a Mac or PC.
Once logged in, by default, you'll see your Inbox, including those messages marked "Important," "Starred" or "Everything." Clicking on "Menu" at the top left brings up your menu on the left side of the iDevice screen. You can also swipe left to right to bring up this menu. While the menu looks fine on the iPad, on the iPhone/iPod touch, not so much. Frankly, there isn't enough space available on Apple's handset for this design to work, as this screenshot shows:
Sending an email is as simple as selecting the "Compose" button at the top, which brings up a very nondescript (and underwhelming) composition page. Here, you can add recipients(s), subject, and yes, whatever photos you'd like to attach.
Good and Bad
On the downside, the Gmail app doesn't support multiple accounts (at least right now), nor can you view more than ten Inbox emails when offline. However, you can write draft emails even without an Internet connection, which is nice. These emails go out once a connection is found.
Overall, if you enjoy using Gmail through your desktop's web browser, you'll love using it via the native app, at least on the iPad. Unfortunately, in its present format, the app doesn't look nearly as nice on the iPhone/iPod touch, although it is functional. Hopefully in future app updates, Google will recognize that an interface that works well on the iPad, doesn't necessary click on the iPhone/iPod touch. Time will tell.
The Gmail app is available now in the App Store.

Hi Everyone:
The brilliant work of Teresa of Avila entitled, THE INTERIOR CASTLE, inspired the approach that I took in writing ENTERING THE CASTLE. In particular, I was quite taken by her template of the soul that she described as a crystal with seven mansions, each mansion containing many rooms. Her metaphor of the soul as castle no doubt was inspired by her beloved town of Avila, which sits upon the highest ground in Spain and was built to be a castle city. Next April I will be leading a workshop in Avila, Spain, on ENTERING THE CASTLE. I am absolutely thrilled to have the opportunity to be able to lead a workshop in the same town where Teresa was born. In between lectures, participants will have the opportunity to visit the sites where Teresa grew up and the convents where she lived as well as the shrine where she is buried.
The theme of the workshop is one rooted in contemporary mysticism. Teresa's intention in writing THE INTERIOR CASTLE was to illuminate a path to God through prayer by sharing her own experiences of God. She knew the content of the soul and she knew how to guide her nuns into the depths of the soul. Today many people are feeling that same passion to pursue the exploration of their soul and much of that passion is due to the fact that a mystical Renaissance is in progress within our spiritual culture. Many people are being called to become lay mystics or mystics without monasteries, people who enter into service in this world by developing the same stamina of soul that the great mystics practiced so long ago. This is the theme of the workshop that will take place in Avila, Spain, in April. Among the many skills of the mystic that you will be introduced to will be: how to channel grace, how to practice self-reflection and contemplation, and how to be a mystical activist in the world. Mystics, after all, were divine agents for change in the world. They were not hermits but rather individuals who changed the world they lived in through the power of their souls and prayer.
I hope you'll consider joining me on this rare journey to the home of Teresa of Avila where I will introduce you to the power of your own interior Castle.
The Famous Walled City
Avila is World heritage. Two things distinguish Avila: its eleventh-century walls, two perfectly preserved kilometres of which surround the old town, and the mystic writer Santa Teresa, who was born here and whose shrines are a major focus of religious pilgrimage. Set on a high plain, with the peaks of the Sierra de Gredos behind, the town is quite a sight, especially if you time it right and approach with the evening sun highlighting the golden tone of the walls and the details of the 88 towers.

Most of us were taught that if we wrap ourselves in enough layers, create a convincing enough persona or hide behind an attractive enough mask, people wont discover (or, more to the point, we wont discover) that we are flawed, imperfect, and insecure. Yet the masks we wear dont just hide our weaknesses, they also camouflage our strengths. We wrap ourselves in the many layers of our false self to conceal that we are talented, brilliant, and more fortunate than those around us.
Its downright exhausting to keep hiding and denying parts of ourselves. Eventually, like a beach ball held under water, they pop up and smack us in the face. We were born to love and embrace all parts of ourselves, and when we dont, self-sabotage is the unfortunate result.
Why Good People Do Bad Things, a bold new book written by bestselling author and coach, Debbie Ford, takes us behind the facade of the false self, guides us to heal the split between our ego and our soul and live the authentic life that is well within our reach.

Afternoon tea is one of the most well known British institutions, but finding a proper version of it can be surprisingly difficult. If you're thinking of getting away for a few days, a city break to London is a great idea, particularly if you're on the hunt for the perfect scone. Book a room in one of our London hotels to try out some phenomenal afternoon teas. Here are a few of the best:
Best for the full works: The Ritz
Tea at The Ritz is a once in a lifetime sort of thing. Gentlemen must wear jackets and ties, and anyone in denim will be turned away at the door, so this certainly isn't a drop-in-at-the-last-minute sort of place. If you want to plan a real treat, and get a peak at the life of society's upper crust, this is the place to do it. Expect plates and cakes covered with gold-leaf, and the finest teas in the world.
Best for something surreal: The Courtyard at The Sanderson
Any fans of Alice in Wonderland will love the Mad Hatter's Tea at The Sanderson. Sit in their (heated) garden surrounded by fountains and foliage, and eat all sorts of strange looking cakes and goodies.
Best for the men: Sanctum Soho
The Gentlemen's Tea at Sanctum Soho is seriously cool. It also barely counts as a tea because it swaps cucumber sandwiches for steak sliders and accompanies the tea with whiskey and a cigar. If you're feeling in need of some manliness, this is the place to find it.
Best for the style: The Caramel Room at The Berkeley
It's not only the environment at The Berkeley that is painfully stylish, it's also the cakes. Their Pret-a-Portea Tea is all about fashion. Think biscuits iced like Louboutins, and tea presented in a way that reflects the current trends. This is a hotspot for celebrities and the place to be at 4pm for those in the know.
Best for value: Bea's of Bloomsbury
With more of a café feel, this place isn't at all stuffy or snooty. If you're a cupcake lover, you'll adore their home-made cakes, which are designed to as beautiful as they are delicious. You won't find finger sandwiches or white table cloths, but the tea selection is good, and the scones are wonderful.
Best for the Royal touch: The Orangery at Kensington Palace
Afternoon tea is a very regal habit and that is nowhere more apparent than at Kensington Palace. The afternoon tea, served in the beautiful Orangery, is traditional, but without the formality of grand hotels. You won't find better value for money if you like your tea loose leaf and your sandwiches freshly prepared.

D.C. Weather Forecast: Spring sunshine
Spring officially ariived at 7:02 this morning...but spring temperatures are on back order. (read about the vernal equinox here.)
TODAY: Morning sunshine with increasing afternoon cloudiness
Highs: 49°-54°
Wind: West 10-15+ mph
OVERNIGHT: Cloudy with a light wintry mix or light snow. Grassy areas.
Lows: 28º-35º
Wind: NW 5-10 mph
TOMORROW: Morning clouds and flurries. Breezy and VERY COLD
Highs: Low 40s with wind chills in the 30s all day
Wind: NW 10-15+ mph
So what are we talking about in the weather center on this first day of spring? The chance of a wintry mix or light snow overnight into tomorrow morning. Another fast-moving, upper level area of low pressure will cross the region but likely only produce a light coating on mainly grassy areas. Our in-house computer model estimates snowfall in tenths of an inch.
After the disturbance passes the area, we will default to what has become our late-winter pattern. Partly cloudy skies with northwesterly winds that keep temperatures below average. This pattern will continue well into next week, if not even longer. Plus, computer models are persistently simulating the development of an east coast storm on Monday.

Live life with no regrets
We've all heard the saying "Live life with no regrets" and what a wonderful saying it is. Shame then that there is a shared regret for so many of us on reaching a certain age – when we discover that we haven't saved quite the retirement nest egg we had hoped for.
Contact us today! for a full explanation and Expat Pension Guide
An annual Investor Confidence survey by TD Direct Investing revealed that as many as one in three retiring British investors admit they regret not having saved more money. One in five regret not taking advantage of investment opportunities when they had the chance. The survey only serves to highlight the stark reality that the next generation is headed for the same level of regret – if not more – than today's newly retired, with as many as four out of 10 admitting they are not currently making any financial provision for their retirement.
Sadly, this "head in the sand" attitude to long-term saving seems to be something the British do best. In striking contrast, US and Asian investors have shown themselves to be finely in tune with long-term equity investment for when they retire. A recent Gallup poll found that well over half of American respondents expect to rely on investment in stocks and shares to fund their autumnal years, which is a staggering three times more than equivalent number of Brits. Over in Japan, a similar survey discovered that as many as one third of already retired Japanese managed an equity portfolio to meet their long-term needs.
For those expats often earning an attractive tax-free salary, it would be wise to set aside time and revise your pension plan so you can be confident that you're on track to accumulate the kind of pot you will need to fund your desired retirement lifestyle.
Firstly, you will need to work out exactly how much you will need to save between now and then. Deduct from this amount any anticipated state pension and any amount you have already saved up through a company or personal plan.
When you begin pension planning, it's best to seek advice about the best offshore jurisdiction in which to base your portfolio. An adviser is able to help you make comparisons between all the various investment options available to you, including different holdings such as equities, bonds, property and so on.
It's worth having your portfolio reviewed around 10 years before your retirement date to see how best to reduce any unwanted risk and ensure that the investment spread remains well diversified. Three years before D-Day, it's important to go through valuations on all your savings.
Being thorough and having a well thought-through plan is the best way of avoiding those pangs of regret and ensures that you can sit back, sip your glass of wine and enjoy your retirement on a well-stuffed cushion.

Verizon, MCI to link up in $6.7 billion dealFebruary 14, 2005
SBC to acquire AT&T for $16 billionJanuary 31, 2005
Verizon Business, the new unit, is primarily made up of clients the company acquired from the purchase of MCI. The acquisition, which ended up costing Verizon about $8.5 billion, was completed earlier this month.
The advertising campaign also helps Verizon distance itself from the MCI brand. Verizon had already stated publicly that it wouldn't keep the MCI brand, which has been tainted over the years by bankruptcy and scandal. In fact, the company had already announced it was changing the name of the MCI Center, a sports arena in downtown Washington, D.C., to the Verizon Center.
Through new television ads, the company plans to target corporate and government clients. Verizon will continue to offer and expand many of the corporate data services that MCI offered these customers in the past.
It also plans to market its mobile services to these customers. Specifically, Verizon hopes to sign up more business customers for its EV-DO wireless service, which allows workers on the road to access the Internet anywhere the new 3G wireless network is available. It will also push virtual private networking services that allow corporate road warriors to securely connect to the home office.
Verizon Business will compete head to head with the newly branded AT&T. The new AT&T was formed by the $16 billion merger of SBC Communications with the old AT&T, which like MCI had an extensive roster of corporate customers.

Regional Tectonics and Hazards
Onshore New Zealand provides much of the evidence for deformation over the last 20 million years (e.g. faulting, volcanoes) associated with the plate boundary that bisects the country. In contrast, the offshore continental area east of New Zealand, less deformed by this recent activity, is probably the best region for understanding New Zealand's history between 150 and 80 million years ago. This is the period when New Zealand was part of the Gondwana supercontinent before splitting apart from Australia and Antarctica.
GNS Science has long realised that the seafloor being subducted beneath the North Island, back into the earth's mantle, was unusually thick and buoyant. This buoyancy affects the uplift of the North Island above sea-level as well as the generation of earthquakes and volcanoes. Marine surveys by GNS Science staff over the last 20 years have revealed the extent and structure of this triangular Hikurangi Plateau Large Igneous Province.

The body of an RTI activist was found in his burnt car in Greater Noida on Friday night.
While police said the death of activist and AAP member, Chandra Mohan Sharma, seemed to be an accident, his family has alleged foul play.
Police have filed an FIR against five people at Kasna police station and are probing all angles.
This is the third time in six months that an RTI activist has been targeted in Noida and Greater Noida.
According to police, Sharma had received threats for highlighting an encroachment on a temple land in Kasna. Though the family had approached police in Kasna, no complaint had been registered. Following his death, an FIR has been registered against five persons involved in the temple land dispute, police said.
According to police, Sharma (38), who worked for Honda Siel in Greater Noida, was heading home to Alpha II in Greater Noida in a Chevrolet Aveo on Friday night. When he reached Eldeco Crossing at Pie Sector, his car caught fire and he couldn't unlock the door, police said.
By the time fire tenders reached the spot, it was too late to save Sharma. Police have sent his DNA and viscera samples to a forensic lab.
According to Sharma's family, he set out for home at 11.10 pm on Friday. He had earlier spoken to his children around 10.30 pm.
Police said they received information about a burning car a little after midnight, but it wasn't until morning that the body was identified with the help of the car registration number.
Meanwhile, police claimed that Sharma's family kept trying to get in touch with him but found his mobile phone switched off.
Sharma's family alleged that his work as an RTI activist resulted in his death. According to his family, Sharma worked to unearth land allotment irregularities in the area. He had exposed the activities of a land mafia which had captured gram sabha land, police said.
"On April 28, he was returning home in his car when he was forcibly stopped by men of the land mafia, who threatened to kill him. At that time, police did not take the matter seriously. Now they are trying to hush up the murder and pass it off as an accident," Sharma's wife Savita said.
The family alleged that the circumstances under which Sharma's body was found suggested murder.
"Police are saying that the windows were closed and the doors of the car were locked when the fire broke out. But we know that he drove with the windows down since the AC unit in the car wasn't working. The car didn't have central locking and there was no CNG kit in the car.
Moreover, the car was found parked by the roadside. If the car had caught fire while he was driving, it would have been in the middle of the road," she said.
Police, however, maintained that initial probe pointed to an accident. According to police, the car's CNG …continued »

A content delivery network (CDN) is an interconnected system of computers on the Internet that provides Web content rapidly to numerous users by duplicating the content on multiple servers and directing the content to users based on proximity. CDNs are used by Internet service providers (ISPs) to deliver static or dynamic Web pages but the technology is especially well suited to streaming audio, video, and Internet television.
The use of CDN technology has obvious economic advantages to companies who expect, or experience, large numbers of hits on their Web sites from locations all over the world. If dozens or hundreds of other users happen to select the same Web page or content simultaneously, the CDN sends the content to each of them without delay or time-out. Problems with excessive latency, as well as large variations in latency from moment to moment (which can cause annoying "jitter" in streaming audio and video), are minimized. The bandwidth each user "sees" is maximized. The difference is noticed most by users with high-speed Internet connections who often demand streaming content or large files.
Another advantage of CDN technology is content redundancy that provides a fail-safe feature and allows for graceful degradation in the event of damage to, or malfunction of, a part of the Internet. Even during a large-scale attack that disables many servers, content on a CDN will remain available to at least some users. Still another advantage of CDN technology is the fact that it inherently offers enhanced data backup, archiving, and storage capacity. This can benefit individuals and enterprises who rely on online data backup services.
We are inviting some of the best brains in this space to talk to our community in a masterclass on how to best utilise CDN technology to meet demands of your ever growing website.

NASA released spectacular new images of a hurricane swirling at Saturn's north pole captured by Cassini spacecraft. The storm 20 times the size of Hurricane Sandy has puzzled scientists, and may give an insight into how terrestrial hurricanes are formed.
Cassini had to wait for almost 7 years to take a closer view of the mysterious swirling pattern on the north pole of the gas giant in favorable light conditions. Known as the hexagon, the weather pattern fits two Earths in diameter, and has been found to be housing a vortex strikingly similar to a terrestrial hurricane, NASA reports.
Saturn hurricane's eye, is however, 2,000 kilometers wide, spins four times faster than hurricane-force winds on Earth, and, as scientists believe, has been "stuck" at the planet's pole for years.
But ultimately, there're no oceans of water on Saturn to feed the enormous storm, which has set off scientists thinking of some alternative theory how hurricanes are formed and sustained.
"We did a double take when we saw this vortex because it looks so much like a hurricane on Earth," said Andrew Ingersoll, a Cassini imaging team member at the California Institute of Technology, US.
"But there it is at Saturn, on a much larger scale, and it is somehow getting by on the small amounts of water vapor in Saturn's hydrogen atmosphere," Ingersoll said, adding that scientists will be studying the formation to gain insight into terrestrial hurricanes.
The visible-light views of the Saturnian storm have been taken by Cassini from a height of 420,000 kilometers. The images have then been false-colored by NASA to show detail, with red indicating clouds at lower altitudes, and green representing higher altitude formations.
These're first sunlit images of the planet's northern pole since
1981 shots taken during the fly-by of Voyager 2. In order to
capture the view, scientists had to change Cassini's orbital
inclination, which is being done only once every few years since
the spacecraft arrived at Saturn in 2004.

5.0 Mustang & Super FordsHow To Engine
Short-Block Stroker Engines - Popularity Content
If You're Looking For A 302-Based Stroker, We Break Down The Most Popular Short-Blocks On The Market
Ford Racing Performance Parts 347 (M-6009-B347)
FRPP began offering this 347 in its '01 catalog as a great way to get 347 cubes of power right from Ford without having to assemble anything. Previously, you had to buy the crank and rods or stroker kit from the FRPP catalog and assemble the kit yourself. Now Ford handles all the block machining, balancing, and assembly for you.
The FRPP 347 features a new production two-bolt 5.0 block, a 3.40-inch nodular cast-iron stroker crank, 4.030-inch hypereutectic pistons with chrome rings (valve reliefs for inline valve heads), SAE 4130 forged-steel connecting rods (M-6200-D50), Federal-Mogul bearings, and 28-ounce external balancing. While the photo shows a cam and timing chain installed, the FRPP 347 will require a cam and timing chain (as well as heads and valvetrain) to be completed. FRPP's retail pricing on this factory gem is $2,495 retail.
Fox Lake Power Products 331/347
Ron Robart opened the doors at Fox Lake Power Products in 1993. Primarily concentrating on CNC-ported cylinder heads and intakes and custom cams, the Fox Lake name was quickly associated with some of the fastest cars in Ford drag racing. Soon the company was building engines for customers to match their CNC top-end offerings, though the machine and assembly work was done out of house, leading to occasional problems.
In late 1999, after a recent expansion of the shop, Ron and his staff brought the engine machining and assembly in-house so they could control the quality. Now Fox Lake handles the complete block machining and assembly from start to shipping with its Sunnen engine-machining equipment. Having the work done in-house also allows the company to work on custom machining orders that might have taken too long for a customer who didn't want to wait.
When we asked Ron to provide us with information on the company's stroker short-blocks and which is its best seller, he stated, "The 331 and the 347 sell about the same." Though some vendors told us there was a clear sales winner when interviewed for this article, Fox Lake's sales are about dead even on its two small-block offerings. Since basically the only difference between the two is the stroke length of the crank, and all other parts being equal, we included both engines in the listing here.
Fox Lake's 331/347 strokers start off with a seasoned block that is fully machined on its in-house equipment. Into this block goes an Eagle cast-steel crank, Eagle forged-steel I-beam rods, and SRP forged pistons (for inline valve heads). The entire assembly is then balanced to 28 ounces.
Options at Fox Lake include Twisted Wedge pistons ($100) and the option to build with either an FRPP B50 or R302 block as the base of the short-block assembly. Final pricing depends on options, so give Ron a call to discuss the details and to get an accurate price for your short-block needs.
