I was checking links, trying to see where some projects I used to keep up on were and took a look at Will's Sprint rebuild on FB. It hasn't had anything posted in a while – unless updates have been made elsewhere. Something caught my eye when I was checking out his pictures. His car is a 10102 series, with a 1315*01XXXX engine, and a Mailand plate with 750B on it. Anyone know what's up with this? Only 10105's are supposed to have this series engine. I did a post a while back about trade agreement final assemblies in France, Mexico and Germany at one point but can't seem to find it. Anyone know what the arrangement was between Alfa and Mailand?
This is the build plate set is from Will's Sprint. It is original, and it is confusing!

Stop by LOVE Park this afternoon to stand up for the environment.
Today at 4:30 p.m. Food & Water Watch, Protecting Our Waters, Delaware Riverkeeper Network and other groups will be speaking out against Act 13—the pro-Marcellus Shale gas drilling law passed by Governor Tom Corbett last February. Act 13 takes away municipal zoning authority as related to the drilling and includes a gag order requiring physicians to not disclose proprietary fracking chemicals except for medical treatment of an individual.
The groups say Act 13 amounts to "giving away to fracking corporations our fundamental right to protect our communities," and agree that "fracking hurts water, air, farms, health and climate."
Read here for more on Act 13. To learn more about fracking, you can check out our previous blog post on the topic. LOVE Park, 1599 John F. Kennedy Blvd.

My own easy to make dessert recipes: Fat Free Banana Ice Cream!
My easy to make dessert recipes are extra special because, not only are they delicious, but they're also good for you!
I specialize in creating healthy recipes that are incredibly simple, from whole, fresh, unprocessed foods. Like my Fat Free Banana Ice Cream!
Banana desserts are some of my personal favorites. They're some of the easiest, quick dessert recipes you can make in your own kitchen. You'll need only a good blender or food processor and frozen fruit.
Mouth-watering Fat Free Banana Ice Cream:
You won't believe how delicious healthy desserts can be!
Like this super thick and luscious Banana Date Ice Cream:
Don't miss my gallery of delicious healthy desserts!
I love to have my Fat Free Banana Ice Cream as an after-dinner treat when my taste buds are calling for something sweet.
Most of us satisfy our sweet tooth with refined sugar products, which we all know is super unhealthy, but it's actually quite natural for us to crave sweet foods. It's a taste that the human palate was designed to enjoy.
The good news is that we can reach for sweets as often as we like, AS LONG AS THEY'RE HEALTHY!
Easy to make dessert recipes that are also good for you are a specialty of mine. In fact, they're SO GOOD for you, that you can have them for breakfast. I do!
Like my 100% Guilt Free Chocolate Mousse Parfait:
Or my 3-Minute Banana Pudding:
Fat Free Banana Ice Cream Ingredients :
You will need:
- 5 frozen bananas*
Serves 1 – 2
Simply peel the bananas and pop them in your freezer before you go to bed at night. When you wake up, they'll be ready for you.
Are your bananas ripe? They're ripe when they have plenty of brown spots. They should look this:
Eating fruit only when it's ripe is super important for us healthy eaters because only then are the flavors and the vitamins "unlocked." Remember: eating unripe fruit = indigestion + gas + bland flavor!
Unripe bananas taste and smell starchy, have little flavor and are hard to peel. Ripe bananas smell and taste sweet and they peel easily.
- Take your bananas out of the freezer 30 minutes before you're ready, in order to soften them up a bit.
- Put them in your high-speed blender or food processor and blend until very smooth. You don't have to add water (if you do, add no more than 1/4 cup!).
- Spoon into a bowl or mug and enjoy!
If you want to easy to make dessert recipes and other delicioushealthy recipes like my fruit smoothies, salad dressings and sauces a part of your everyday diet, then you're going to want to invest in a REAL BLENDER!!!
I cannot more highly recommend the Vita-mix blender. It's an investment of money, but I can honestly say it's worth every penny. Finally giving up those cheap blenders and getting a Vita-mix professional blender was, for me, like getting out of a twenty year old pickup truck and sliding behind the wheel of a BMW! One of the best decisions I've ever made.

Thanks for a terrific season!
2019-2020 season info coming soon.
The mission of Network for New Music is to commission and perform a diversity of new musical works of the highest quality by both established and emerging composers; to strengthen the new music community in the Philadelphia region; and to build support for new music by engaging in artistic and institutional collaborations, as well as educational activities. Network is recognized for its excellent performances, innovative programming, in-depth education programs and cross-genre collaborations with other art forms – all created with the purpose of enriching the life of the greater cultural community and supporting the important work of musicians and composers.
Network for New Music, which The Philadelphia Inquirer has called the city's "premier new music organization" presents passionate, meticulously rehearsed performances of music by emerging and established composers from the United States and abroad. The Network Ensemble is a flexible, 20-member group whose players also perform with the Philadelphia Orchestra, Opera Philadelphia, the Pennsylvania Ballet, and the Chamber Orchestra of Philadelphia. Since its inception in 1984, the Ensemble has presented more than 650 works and recorded 4 CDs for the Albany and Innova labels. Also committed to education, the Network Ensemble has worked with students from the Curtis Institute of Music, the University of Pennsylvania, Temple University, Swarthmore College, The University of Delaware, and West Chester University; the Ensemble has held an ongoing residency at Haverford College since 2007.
Network for New Music is one of the foremost commissioning organizations in the United States. Now in its 34th year, Network has commissioned 147 works from leading composers including Sebastian Currier, Dai Fujikura, Michael Hersch, Lee Hyla, Steven Mackey, Behzad Ranjbaran, and Chen Yi as well as Pulitzer Prize winners John Harbison, Jennifer Higdon, Bernard Rands, Lewis Spratlan, Melinda Wagner, Richard Wernick, and Ellen Taaffe Zwilich. Recently commissioned works have been reviewed in The Philadelphia Inquirer.
In 2014, the Board of Directors established the Network for New Music Commissioning Fund, a permanent, ongoing reserve fund to support the creation of new works. In 2018, the fund was formally named to honor Network's Artistic Director Emerita, and is known as the Linda Reichert Commissioning Fund. Network for New Music is one of the first ensembles nationwide to maintain its own dedicated commissioning fund, ensuring that composer collaborations are a part of every concert season in Philadelphia.
What's Next

Subscribe To The Office Mash-Up Video Shows Us The Many Faces Of Jim Halpert Updates
I've already subscribed
In exactly two months, The Office will return for its ninth season, so it's fitting that NBC would release this funny little mash-up celebrating the many faces of Jim Halpert. Check it out ahead and see if you can pin the face to the Office moment it goes with.
Jim's well known for turning to the camera and giving his reaction to whatever's happening straight to the viewer. The barely-veiled fourth wall in the series is exposed for just a second or so as he raises his eyebrows and shrugs. NBC posted the following video, which links many of these charming little moments together. It's a fun way to spend a few minutes…
Eight seasons of Jim reacting. It never really gets old, does it?

Sonu Nigam slightly overestimates how great his singing is
Sonu Nigam was on a chartered flight, and encouraged to sing a song or two over the PA system. He obliged.
Trouble is, nowadays if things like that happen, it gets shared on the net, and people hear about it. Including the safety regulators of Indian flights. They're not happy, and have called in the executives from Jet, the airline involved, to ask why a safety tool was being used as an entertainment platform.
Jet, in the face of a potential punishment for letting this happen, have had to take action; and so they've suspended the flight crew involved to try and head that off by looking like they're taking it seriously.
Sonu, though, has decided to wade into the debate, missing the point and the finer detail completely:
In a statement, Nigam Friday said, "I have witnessed an elaborate fashion show in an aircraft. I have heard of small concerts happening in aircraft. I have seen pilots and crew members cracking jokes to loosen up passengers in other countries, which is so cool. To suspend crew members for asking me to sing on the address system, when the seat belt signs were off, and no announcements were to be made, is nothing less than punishing someone for spreading happiness." "Pity there's no one to question such harshness except the media perhaps. Indians, need to loosen up. This act of lack of common sense, according to me, is real intolerance," he added.It's real intolerance, people. Punishing people for spreading happiness. I mean, under what circumstances might you suddenly need to make a cabin announcement on a plane, right? That hardly ever happens. That people survive to tell you about, anyway.

As smartphones grow nearly ubiquitous, the ability to use them for virtually every task is increasing. No longer are these devices merely conduits through which to call your mom or boyfriend. Instead, they now enable owners to check their social networks, shop for gifts and check the weather.
It should come as no surprise, then, that mobile devices are treading on desktop computers' stronghold over email. In fact, recent research from YesMail found that nearly half of all emails are opened on mobile gadgets. With their smaller screens and lack of mouse, smartphones present a challenge for companies, requiring them to adopt new content strategies, - such as responsive email - for their email marketing lists.
What, precisely, is responsive email?
According to a recent article from The Next Web, responsive email is designed to boost engagement between businesses and customers through the use of questions, fluid layouts and images, and personalized copy, depending on the types of device being used by recipients. For example, the news source pointed out, while a firm may include numerous paragraphs of information and photos in an email meant to be opened on a computer, responsive design enables a much shorter message and call to action to be presented on a mobile device.
"While traditional emails generally feature fixed-width frameworks, multiple images and paragraphs of text, responsive emails adapt to the device viewport size and display content accordingly, often skipping elements like blocks of text to allow touchscreen users to read and respond calls to action quickly," The Next Web wrote. "Responsive techniques allow designers to hide, stack, expand/collapse or modify content to optimize content display in emails on smaller screens."
Additionally, responsive design incorporates more functional aspects, such as larger buttons to allow for easier clicks with the touch of a finger and content that works without image displays.
Surpass other marketing channels
Email being already one of the top marketing mediums for companies and organizations as well as one of the most effective could surpass anything currently available if techniques such as responsive email were employed, Dan Smith, vice president of product at Outsell, told 1to1 Media.
While the strategy will require marketers to educate themselves on the ins and outs of a more complex marketing tool, it could spur higher opens, more clicks and greater revenue.

Shop Perilla for great socks!
Located in the UK, Perilla is home to a range of the finest quality socks made with alpaca fiber. Alpaca socks are the ultimate treat for feet. The business was born after looking for luxurious bed socks for the owner's daughter and not finding anything suitable.
After a chance meeting with an alpaca breeder with an interest in producing knitwear, Sandra (owner) was steered in the direction of the alpaca socks you'll find on the Perilla website.
Sandra started the business in 2006 using only British-produced alpaca but couldn't get enough high grade fiber that was needed. She now imports lots of alpaca yarn from Peru. Congrats on 10+ years of business!
And we're going to be giving away some socks!
My wife has the alpaca walking socks in purple, pictured above, and she loves them. Every time she wears 'em she says how comfortable they are. If you're looking for the perfect walking sock, look no further.
These walking socks are warm, thick, made from 75% luxury alpaca, and perfect for winter. Did you know alpaca fiber repels odor and bacteria? This helps the socks live longer.
There are more than 20 natural shades of alpaca fiber, believe it or not. It's soft like cashmere and stronger than wool. Soft and strong is not very common. It's unique in that it's extremely light, yet retains the ability to keep you (and the alpacas) very warm.
|My first experience meeting alpacas in July.
All of Perilla's alpaca socks, with the exception of bed socks, are made of 75% pure alpaca and 25% nylon, which gives the socks their shape.
The fiber has a low prickle factor and can be worn by those who normally cannot tolerate wool on their skin. Alpaca naturally repels bacteria and odor, so you can wear your socks for a week without washing them if you want.
Check out the collection for socks, hats, sweaters, and lots of other items. The sock collection in particular is pretty impressive.
So who wants a pair of socks?! The folks at Perilla have been gracious enough to offer a pair of alpaca socks (your choice) to one lucky Giveaway Guy reader.
Enter to win using the Rafflecopter form below. You may share on Twitter once a day for extra points for the duration of the giveaway.
a Rafflecopter giveaway
This giveaway is open to users worldwide. One winner will be randomly selected via Rafflecopter, which I will contact by email after entries are verified. The winner will have 24 hours to respond, otherwise a new winner will be selected.
Disclosure: I was provided a complimentary product in exchange for my review. All opinions are my own.

The 2007 Nike SQ Sumo Irons are primarily game improvement golf clubs, designed to give the mid to higher handicap golfer a combination of reliable forgiveness and impressive distance.
The graphics on the SQ Sumo's do generally get quite mixed reviews, it seems to be the case that people either like them or dislike them.
Graphite and steel shaft options are both available for these Nike Irons, the models we tested were fitted with True Temper Speed Step regular flex steel shafts.
The club head can appear a bit chunky and large at address, and the cavity is quite visible in the longer irons. This doesn't exactly inspire help too much to inspire a lot of confidence, but it's something that like the graphics, will bother some players more than others.
If you can get past the look of them at address, you will likely find the Nike SQ Sumo's fairly easy to hit. Each iron launches the ball very well at impact, the ball flight is high and every shot seems to get a huge amount of air time.
Also on the plus side, this great height doesn't usually result in a loss of distance with these irons, unless perhaps you're hitting against a strong wind.
But really the Nike SQ Sumo irons are one of the most consistent we've seen for producing the same yardage time after time when struck well, and this was through-out the whole set.
Along with the consistent length these irons give, the forgiveness, as intended, is very good. The SQ Sumo irons are very solid at impact and when shots are miss-hit, and with higher handicappers that will be a few times, there is not much punishment.
The distance on badly struck shots remains about the same, and when the golf ball did go a bit off-line, it was generally only by a few yards.
You also don't get a horrible stinging in the hands when you miss-cue with the Nike SQ Sumo's. So it's sometimes difficult to tell when you've not caught one quite right, although there is definitely a better sound at impact when you put a good swing on the ball with these irons.
Because of the higher trajectory, these clubs can generate a decent amount of spin. The golf ball regularly ends up within just a few yards of where it lands on the green for approach shots.
Overall really the Nike SQ Sumo Irons are definitely a good set of clubs for the target group. Maybe not the best looking irons ever, but they perform very well.
And if you are a golfer who is really against hitting long irons, there is an SQ Sumo combo set also available.
Which is a set which consists of 4 hybrids and 4 irons. Instead of a 4-7 set of irons, you get easy to hit hybrids in their place, while the 8-iron up remain as standard irons. This set does cost a bit more than the standard SQ Sumo iron set though.
In terms of value for money, these clubs are pretty good just now in 2012. Prices do vary but you can generally expect to get a brand new set of these Nike Irons for around £180 or $285.

Contest label to be fixed onto the contestants plant pot or on another device about to grow directly in jordbädd by 1 may 2015. The label shall be clearly visible when shooting the plant and submit the first image not later than 1 may 2015.
Note: Write the shooter's name with a waterproof pen.
Most easily attaches to the tag in the pot by making a hole in the edge and then fasten it with a cable tie through the hole and into the pot holes, and then the range stack band. Clips of the band that stands out.
The label is printed on a wet strong paper that can withstand moisture, but it should not flush it with water unnecessarily.
PS. It goes well even with a string.

Our Week in Photos | Long Island Family Photographer
Another week, more rehearsal at work... we actually just had our last big put-in rehearsal yesterday for hopefully at least a little while. Ready to not be in the city all day on Mondays!
Last week we mostly just visited different playgrounds in the afternoons after Lila finished school.
We gave Lila an old iPod that we weren't using and she LOVES it. Listens to her music all the time, and enjoys watching old videos of herself. It still blows my mind how easily she navigates around the iPod apps...
This little guy is almost over his cold.
He loves bouncing around in this thing. It must be nice to be upright after having to sit or lie down most of the day. It'll be nice when he can sit up on his own and play with toys.
Another thing he loves is the bath. LOVES it. Splashes around like a crazy person.
Lila is a fan of the bath, too.
Snuggles on the couch...a favorite fall activity.
I cannot believe she is three on Friday. The time has just flown by. I love being her mom so much.
The days are getting colder. They are predicting some snow showers for next week. Better make sure Lila's snow boots still fit. I got the stroller sleeping bags out this week.
Lila LOVES going to the playground. She has gotten so brave about going down all the big slides by herself. Luckily we have a number of great playgrounds within walking distance of our house.
This little nugget is such a good sport about being dragged around everywhere. He's the best.
And that was our week! I am gearing up for Lila's birthday party on Saturday... photos to come!
Enjoy your week!

Ryan Braun Signing Good for Milwaukee Brewers and Good for BaseballApril 24, 2011
There use to be a time when superstars played their entire careers with one team, good or bad.
Robin Yount, George Brett, Dale Murphy, Ryne Sandberg, Tony Gwynn and Cal Ripken Jr. come to mind from the 1980s and 1990s.
Today's generation has offered up the likes of Derek Jeter and Chipper Jones, few and far between.
Most small market ball clubs today often lose their superstars simply because the ballclub cannot afford to risk their entire salary on one player.
Often, teams will trade away their star for draft picks rather than lose them for nothing in the offseason.
The San Diego Padres for several years were known for Adrian Gonzalez and only Adrian Gonzalez.
Knowing that Gonzalez would never get paid the money he deserved, Gonzalez was traded to the Boston Red Sox in return for a group of solid young prospects.
On Thursday, Major League Baseball got a little bit of its past back when the Milwaukee Brewers signed Ryan Braun through the 2020 season, ensuring that Braun could finish his career with the only team he's ever known.
In four seasons in the majors, Braun has taken the league by storm. His list of accomplishments include being named the 2007 National League Rookie of the Year, being named to the All-Star team three times, and he is one of just five players in baseball history to hit 125 home runs and bat .300 over his first four seasons, joining the likes of Albert Pujols, Ted Williams and Joe DiMaggio.
Back in May 2008, Braun signed a seven-year deal worth $45 million to keep him with the Brewers until 2015. Thursday's deal for an additional five years at $105 million keeps Braun with Milwaukee through 2020, and the Milwaukee crowd approves.
In his first plate appearance since signing his extension, Braun was greeted at the plate with a standing ovation.
And in a script best written for a Disney movie, Braun obliged the hometown crowd by crushing a three-run home run to left-center field.
In the end, the contract extension for Ryan Braun is not only good for Milwaukee, it's also good for baseball. A small-market ballclub keeps its star and for baseball purists, it's a good thing.

A lot has happened since I last posted and since I last posted regularly. I am a married woman now. There are things I could try to catch you up on, most notably my wedding and honeymoon, the most perfect days of my life. In time, I may do some flashbacks but, for now, it's time to move forward.
I have found myself busier at work since I started a new job in August of 2012 than I was pre-Bike America and that, coupled with wedding planning, made for less time to spend blogging. Now that one of those things is through, I feel ready to reignite the passion that I once had for this blog. I would like to be more deliberate about the things I share, focusing on living a fit, healthy and happy life.

I didn't meet my goal of bringing The Cat to Santa Pix this year. It seems wrong to have our annual holiday picture without a member of our family. Somehow, I don't think he minds. As nice as it would be to have him there with us, I don't know if it is worth the sacrifice of his discomfort. Or Santa's, for that matter. The Cat can consider it my personal gift to him.
I hope you all have a wonderful time with your family today, wherever you are and whether you celebrate the official holiday or not. I am so grateful to have you in my life and consider each and every one of you a friend. Thank you a million times over for every kind thought you've shared my way. I don't want to get too maudlin on a day of joy but you have made a big difference in our little world.

Place the contents of the sachet of cous cous into a bowl. Add 160ml of boiling water and stir well. Leave to stand for 3-5 minutes to allow the cous cous to absorb the water, and then fluff with a fork to separate the grains.
When you are almost ready to serve, place a large non-stick frying pan over a medium-high heat. Brush the slices of halloumi with the olive oil and then sprinkle with the dried chilli flakes. Cook for 2 minutes on each side, or until golden. Transfer to a plate.
Wipe out the frying pan and quickly sear each wholewheat flatbread for about 10 seconds on each side. Remove from the pan and then smear the yoghurt down the middle of each one. Spoon over the cooked tomato & chilli cous cous, then scatter with the shredded lettuce, followed by the avocado. Season with salt and pepper and then finish with the grilled halloumi. Wrap each one up tightly.
Cut each wrap in half and put on plates.
Try crumbling goat's or feta cheese into your wraps instead of using the grilled halloumi

Portland Golf Course
Portland, CT
Portland Golf Course is known as a welcoming and fun place to spend four or five hours to play a round of golf.
Management prides itself on being pro-active in regards to growing the game and encouraging all players to come and test this really fine daily fee layout.
The routing at Portland GC is solid and the conditions excellent. The club also allows nine-hole rounds for those who want to fit a little golf in between work or chores.
Portland has two great, short par-fours back to back on the front side, the 292-yard fifth and 337-yard sixth.
The fifth demands a well-placed tee shot, and you can choose to hit all you've got in the bag or play it safe off the tee with a fairway wood or long iron to set up a wedge into the green. Just remember that there's out-of-bounds on both sides of the fairway.
The sixth is a tad longer but can also be approximated by the big hitters. Beware of OB hugging the left side of the fairway and a well-trapped green that can cause problems on the approach.
The 12th is a good par-five. It measures 520 yards from the tips and has a tree sitting in the middle of the fairway that influences the second shot. Keep the ball on the left side of the fairway for the best shot into the green.
