In the early `70s, the Japanese performance car was something of an oxymoron. Tales of the Nissan Skyline's racing exploits stayed abroad, and the Toyota 2000GT seemed too exotic for most. Datsun made some inroads--specifically the Sports Roadster models, and later with the Z-car and 510/Bluebird. While Mazda's rotary seemed hot, it fought to overcome reliability issues.
Toyota offered the option of something "spicy" in the form of a Celica. The Corolla, which had made Toyota a force not only in the States but around the world, was perceived here as a good, solid, basic economy car--like a VW Beetle built to 1970s (not 1930s) standards: excellent quality, dependable, quirk-free; nothing flashy about it. It remains a default choice for small-car buyers even today, and one of the major reasons why Toyota has displaced GM as the world's largest car company. But exciting? With a few notable exceptions (hello AE86 twin-cam GT-S1!), not really. While the grandpa brigade upstairs at Hot Rod magazine managed to chop three seconds off their quarter-mile time and earn a .77g cornering figure from their model back in 1972, few then were into the Corolla for its performance merits.
At home, however, a horsepower war was raging. While the Corolla's top engine was the two-barrel OHV 102hp 1600 Four, the home market was able to choose the immortal 2-TG which featured an aluminum DOHC head with hemispherical combustion chamber and a 115hp power rating. High performance Celicas like the not-for-US-sale GTV received it, but so did select Corollas, like the sporty Levin and Sprinter Trueno models (yes, these monikers predate the AE86). When emissions controls heaved into view, Toyota replaced the 2-TG's carbs containing electronic fuel injection-years before these types of controls showed up on US-spec cars, earning the twin-cam a further E in the high-winder's alphanumeric-bet soup.
In the early '70s, American cars regularly had 350 horsepower to tote their lardy butts around, while Japanese manufacturers were struggling to get a foothold in the industry. Would a 115hp twin-cam engine have had any resonance with buyers? Would the extra cost, in a price-sensitive end of the market, have justified the extra dozen horsepower? Most likely not. Thus, it stayed home while America got the sporty SR5 models with five-speed stick, fender flares and other sporting accoutrements.
When Ronald Cajayon of Orange, CA first started building his '74 TE27 SR5 Corolla hatchback some time ago, he could have sourced a 2TGEU, dropped it in, and just soaked up mad old-school props. But that wasn't enough: Cajayon wanted real power. One thing led to your mother and pretty soon, there was an extra 400cc of displacement, compression dropped to 7.5:1, plus a cantaloupe-sized Garrett turbo hanging off the exhaust header-all good for 190+ horsepower at a searing 8500rpm headed straight for the rear tires. By itself, the horsepower doesn't sound massive-shoot, a new Civic Si does a little more than that now, and it feels pretty good, right? But a new Civic Si also weighs 800 pounds more than the TE27. Lots of other cars have more power, but many of them will need to slim down to reach the power-to-weight ratio of this baby.
Ray Gonzaga of Racetoys in Diamond Bar pieced the engine together from only hand-crafted, premium TRD and JDM Toyota components. The aluminum head was treated to a mild port and polish with new TRD valves and springs, while the mild cams (customary with a turbocharged engine) offer 9.5mm lift and 272/264-degree duration. A custom air intake with HKS Mini-Pro and a 7M-GTE (late '80s turbo Supra) throttle body feed a stock intake manifold. The custom fuel rail, Bosch fuel pump and race injectors, and Toyota 2JZ-GTE regulator provide the gas, while a breakerless ignition and Nippondenso Iridium plugs send out the spark. All are controlled by a Simple Digital Systems engine management system.
The turbo itself is regulated by a Blitz boost controller, a Blitz blow-off valve, a HKS wastegate and manual boost controller, which Racetoys designed just in case. The intercooler and piping were all fabricated by RaceToys as well.
Sounds pretty stellar. And it is, make no mistake about it. But when you pop the hood, you'd be hard-pressed to find anything other than stock pieces in there, so well-integrated are they in the overall package. It's a testament to Racetoys' uncanny ability to make everything resemble factory parts. Oh, that turbo's not hidden or anything, and there's no squelching the incredible sight of that twin-cam head with its plugs right in the middle (and really, why would you want to?). But, what's missing is the usual brightly-colored fittings, polished components and stickers that greet us in the workroom.
That clean look extends to the outside of the car as well. Other than a JDM front valance, Hella lighting, smaller chrome pre-'74 bumpers (to replace the federally-mandated kneecap-wreckers) and a couple of sponsor decals, the body is clean and untouched. Those flares? Available on US-spec SR5 Corollas like this one. You don't lose the shape of the car in the graphics: P.J. Bonifacio's smoothly-applied British Racing Green paint suits its supple, sensual curves. Even the wheels, 13x8 Watanabes rolling on 215/50R13 BFGoodrich meats, look wide but not uncomfortably constrained by the sheetmetal or wheelwells. This makes the fairly mild drop-roughly two inches all around-seem all the more dramatic.
The inside is stealthy too: among a flurry of JDM pieces (dash kit, shifter and console) are low-back TRD seats covered in a factory black, neoprene material to look closer to stock, and a 330mm Nardi wheel fitted with an old-school Toyota horn button.
With that kind of power under the hood, Cajayon doesn't need to advertise. But even so, people still flock to him. "A friend in Japan said I can auction my car there for more than $20,000 ... but here in the US, there are too many low-ballers and people who want to jump on the old-school bandwagon. My advice to someone who wants to do one of these? Be patient. Find a car that has value-like the GT or SR5 models-and do your research, know your goals and limits, be unique and always respect your fellow builders and enthusiasts."

Dear Savvy Senior,
Can you write a column on fire safety tips for seniors? With winter approaching, it's important that seniors know that home fires are far more common and deadly among the elderly, but there are things they can do to guard against it. Thanks for your help.
Fire Safety Council
Dear Council,
You're right! Because of physical limitations and slower reaction times, seniors are particularly vulnerable in home fires. In fact, according to the U.S. Fire Administration, seniors over the age of 65 are twice as likely to die or be injured in a home fire, than those younger. For those over 75, the risk nearly triples. But with a little awareness and a few precautionary tips (see firesafety.gov), seniors can go a long way in protecting their property and themselves.
� Fire Hazards
While there are many possible causes of accidental home fires, the three most common among the elderly are caused by smoking, cooking, and alternative heating devices. Here's a breakdown of what seniors can do to protect themselves in each of these key areas.
� Smoke Safely: Careless smoking is the leading cause of home fire deaths and the second leading cause of injuries among seniors. For those who smoke it's important to remember:
Never smoke in bed. Put your cigarette or cigar out at the first sign of feeling drowsy while watching television or reading.
Don't leave your lit cigarette or cigar unattended. Use deep ashtrays and put your cigarettes all the way out. Consider switching to fire-safe cigarettes (firesafecigarettes.org) that self-extinguish when they're not being smoked.
Cook Safely: Home cooking fires are the number one cause of fire injuries among the elderly. Tips that can help include:
Never leave food cooking on a stovetop unattended. When leaving the kitchen, take a wooden spoon or potholder as a reminder to turn off the oven or burners, or consider installing an automatic stove shut-off device as a safety precaution. Cookstop.com, homesensers.com, stoveguardintl.com and pioneeringtech.com sell them.
Avoid wearing loose clothing with hanging sleeves when you cook and keep towels and potholders away from flames or burners.
Never use the range or oven to heat your home.
Double-check the kitchen before you go to bed or leave the house.
Heat Safely: Alternative heating devices like space heaters, stoves, and fireplaces are another potential fire hazard for seniors. Seniors who use these devices should keep these tips in mind:
If you use a space heater, keep anything that can burn at least three feet away and always turn it off when you leave the house or go to sleep. Also, if you're buying a new space heater, look for one with a safety feature that automatically shuts off the power if the heater falls over.
If you use a fireplace that burns wood, be sure you have a glass or metal screen front to catch the flying sparks and rolling logs, and have the chimney flue inspected annually and cleaned if needed.
If you use a heating device fueled by gas, oil, wood, or kerosene, purchase and install carbon monoxide detectors to alert you to potential toxic gas problems.
� Home Tips
Around 75 percent of seniors who die in fires each year don't have working smoke alarms in their homes. Seniors or caregivers should make it a priority to install smoke alarms on every level of their house outside their sleeping area, and change the batteries at least once a year. It's also important to have an escape plan in the event of a fire.
For seniors who are hearing impaired, companies like Silent Call (silentcall.com) and Harris Communications (harriscomm.com) sell smoke and carbon monoxide detectors that work with flashing strobe lights and bed vibrators to alert you when a problem arises. And, there are also home smoke and fire monitoring services like ADT (adtfireprotection.com) that can alert seniors, caregivers, and the fire department if a fire happens.

Ken Stark
Ken Stark is an award-winning book illustrator, editorial cartoonist, painter, and freehand graphic artist who has mostly lived and worked in rural Wisconsin and Illinois. The lifelong artist, now of southwestern Wisconsin, is largely self-taught. Oh Brother!–the first book Ken both wrote and illustrated–gives a true glimpse of Ken and his brother's 1950s country life which fostered their art careers. Orphan Train (by Verla Kay), the third inter-generational history-based book he illustrated, follows three orphans as they ride the orphan train west from New York City. The first book Ken illustrated–Growing Seasons, written by his former neighbor Elsie Lee Splear–was named an International Reading Associations Teachers' Choice, a Smithsonian Magazine Best Book of the Year, a CCBC Children's Choice, a Society of Midland Authors Honor Book, a Wisconsin Library Association Outstanding Children's Title for Illustration, and was chosen for the Illinois State Historical Library collection of history of 20th Century farm life. The paintings from Ken Stark's books have been shown in museums and galleries and are available for future exhibitions.

Finjan Holdings provides update on Federal Circuit Ruling in patent case
Finjan Holdings (FNJN) provides an update on the case Finjan, Inc. v. Symantec Corp. (SYMC), Websense (WBSN), Inc., Sophos. This patent infringement suit dates back to a legacy litigation filed on July 12, 2010, in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware against Symantec Corp., Websense, Inc., Sophos Inc., et al. During this time, two of the five defendants settled; for the three remaining defendants, Websense, Inc., Sophos Inc., and Symantec Corp., the verdict resulted in a finding of invalidity of certain asserted claims of Finjan's patents, U.S. Patent Nos. 6,092,194 and 6,480,962, and non-infringement of same, against the three parties. Finjan's Appeal Brief was filed on December 10, 2013, and the Oral Argument was heard on September 9, 2014. The Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit issued a decision, affirming the District Court's prior ruling with no opinion, citing Federal Circuit Rule 36. Rule 36 findings by the Court do not provide any additional insight or context into the Court's decision in the case. This CAFC ruling was the most recent outcome in the process to reverse the lower Court's finding of invalidity on claims in the two patents. The two patents in question are not at issue in any of six currently pending cases in the Northern District of California, including three separate actions involving the three remaining parties in the appeal, noted previously. "While we are disappointed with the Panel's finding, we continue to believe in the Court's ability to adjudicate complicated issues in patent cases," commented Julie Mar-Spinola, VP Legal Operations of Finjan. "The two patents in question represent a small number – two of twenty –currently involved in our licensing and enforcement program related to Finjan's pioneering cybersecurity related technologies." Finjan has also filed patent infringement lawsuits against FireEye, Inc., Blue Coat, Inc., Websense, Inc., Sophos Inc. and Symantec Corp. relating to, collectively, more than 20 patents in the Finjan portfolio. The company will continue to provide timely updates of important events relating to these matters on an on-going basis.

I found this thread on the EU PvP forum called "These are the people in your BG! Epic Thread!", and it is really funny. It is actually a repost from the US forum, which you can find here. I've met almost all of the types listed, and I've definately been "The Knocker" myself, blowing people off of cliffs as a shaman can be very entertaining – I recommend it!
Anyways, I copied some of the ones I thought was funny, including some of the additional PvP types people were posting as well. Here we go:
Mr. Indestructible – He's a lock wearing full Wrathful. Kill his pet? Never. Kill the lock? Never. Run? Too late. Have fun. Oh, and your trinket is down.
That Friggin' Mage – You're pretty sure that was his fourth consecutive iceblock.
The Arms Warrior – Who says warriors are hard to play? Don't mess around with all that tedious stance switching. It's simple. Hit Bladestorm. Do not hamstring. Wait at the graveyard for your cool down, repeat.
The Buffless – Heck no. Ain't nobody's gonna start up this here battleground until he gets his battleshout, kings, healthstone, and a paw.
Africa Is A PVP Server – That's the name of their 5's team. They were Gladiators last season. And the season before, but on entirely different toons. They're grinding out this season's new non-set epics. They hate doing it. They're pissed. They're all here. They will never be on your team.
Macroman – "GROUP1- GO LUMBERMILL, GROUP2-GO STABLES, GROUP3- HOLD FARM. . DO NOT FIGHT ON THE ROAD. HOLD THESE AND WE WIN." Pure. Tactical. Genius.
Longshoot – You, a healer, a shadow priest, and a stealthed rogue are defending the stables. He's the hunter rezzing, petless, at the Allied base. He's sure that he can burst you all down, this time.
The Quitter – "OMG they've got 3 bases and we've only got 2!" "Just quit and let them win so we can get more honor." This guy will likely die a virgin.
Thatonedude – Okay, so the point is to win and to do that you've got to kill the bad guys. But somehow, this punk has made it personal. Like, really personal. You're seriously wondering where he lives and how you can find out.
The Motivator – "OMG YOU GUYS SUCK. SOOOO FAIL. Y DO YOU EVEN TRY? NOBODY EVEN GARDED THE FLAG ROOM." Plays (you guessed it) a hunter. His stats for the game- 4 kills, 9 deaths, 97,000 damage.
The Unhealed – He's the rogue, hunter, or warrior who utterly fails to understand that until he rolls a healer, he'll never, ever get a heal. Screaming at the healers will effectively address this situation, right?
The Crushable – You just hit him for 6k with a white attack. You don't recognize a thing he's wearing, but you do know what a 19,000 health pool means. And you're gonna run clear across the zone to find him again. And again.
AFK Guy – He's working on the TPS reports, occasionally alt-tabbing to remove his inactive debuff. He's at 125,000 honor today, and counting. Will eventually cause the Tattletale, above, to replace his keyboard. He's the smartest guy here.
The Chicken – You are fighting a single enemy and he's running towards you to help. Suddenly he sees other enemy approaching. "OMG 2v2 battle coming". He keyboard turns his mount and runs away leaving you in trouble.
Try-Hard Guy – This player, usually Ret Paladins, will seek you out 1 one 1, get beat, try again, get beat, try again, get beat, then lay low. Will eventually return with 5 others, and spam /rofl and /spit on you as you die.
The Dispeller – He's there somewhere, you cant see him but you know he's there as the last of your 12 buffs vanishes.
Knocker – guy (ele shaman/boomkin/firemage) whos sole objective is to mount up to Eots bridge/ LM and thunderstorm/typhoon/Blastwave u off into oblivion over and over and over again.
"FOR THE HORDE" – This player will talk about how bad the Alliance is. His spelling will be awful.
And I'd add this one myself:
The Druid Flag carrier – He will grab the flag and take the speed buff in the tunnel. He is so eager to capture the flag and proud that he can run fast that he goes directly into travelform while yelling "DEFEND THE FC!!111″. He is the heroic druid flag carrier, always out of range, continously dying alone on the midfield, which of course are the non-teleporting healers fault.

Hi guys,
I have now returned myself, from Japan. As Jikan sensei has articulated so well the Symposium itself was an excellent opportunity to connect not only with Tendai Japan, but also those all around the globe working so hard to bring Tendai to their corner. Again as Jikan Sensei mentioned, Hieizan is a truly spiritual place, and it is well worth the effort required in getting there, to anyone Tendai or otherwise, who wishes to make contact with that 'old-time' spirituality/ Buddhism that is fast disappearing in the contemporary context.
This was my second time to Hieizan, but was no less treasurable an experience than the first. Entering the Konponchudo is like entering into another world. As you pass through the entrance and walk along the covered walkway up into the Hondo itself, the structure gives the impression that 'outside' is no longer there. After the Symposium was over, I spent a few more days in Japan and went back up the mountain again, and was fortunate enough to listen to a sermon in the Konponchudo, which seemed to touch upon this feeling. The Monk mentioned the fact that when we enter into these places where Buddhist practice has been undertaken sincerely for generation upon generation, we enter into that sincerity. What we are outside does not matter- we are part of this lineage of practice that stretches back long before us, and will stretch on long after 'us'.
The Museum on Hieizan is also a very humbling experience. One of the first items is Dengyo Daishi's Treasure of a nation (国の宝は何物ぞ). Being able to look at the manuscript itself, and read along with it, felt like I was reading it with Daishi sama himself. Other magnificent items included the life size statue of Ryogen sama which many know from the cover of the book on the man.
It was fantastic to meet Jikan sensei, Cloudwater sensei face to face, and to extend greetings to all the other Tendai'ists'. I hope these connections are maintained and strengthened in the future. Likewise, I would like to express my well-wishes for Ganshin sensei and hope that he is informed of the proceedings in due course. I also hope that I may make his acquaintance in the near future.
Thank you for your kind words regarding Ara sensei, Jiryo sensei, and Ryoei sensei's papers Jikan sensei. I will pass them on. You are quite right about Ara sensei's speech. He discussed those things he has achieved over the last forty years. He explained that Jion Haba sensei was the figure responsible for the overseas mission, without whom, Tendai largely had no interest in overseas proselytising. He also expressed sincere humility and apologised to the Tendai establishment and lineage for not having achieved more in that time. He asked that Tendai and more specifically the Jigyodan nurture those seeds he has planted and the overseas Tendai mission.
Please pass on my well wishes and admiration to Monshin sensei. I was glad to finally be able to put a person to the successes of the New York Betsuin.
I know Ryoei sensei, and I too was a little lost during here speech- Mathematics has never been a strength of mine. Discussing with her later, it seemed her point was to discuss the intersubjectivity central to Tendai thought, and suggest that that requires as much interest from the overseas missions in Japanese Tendai, and also by Japanese Tendai in the overseas missions.
Meeting His Holiness Venerable Kojun Handa, current Zasu of Tendai was another wonderful experience. For a very elderly man, his Shomyo, and genki-ness was immensely inspiring. At the feast afterwards, myself, Jiryo sensei, and Shomon sensei were introduced to him personally. His Holiness spoke to Shomon sensei about his time in the Scandinavia and relayed a rather comical story- during a trip there to perform Shomyo, he needed the bathroom but did not possess the linguistic skills necessary to express said desire. He then praised her for her activities and encouraged her to continue. He told Jiryo sensei to keep working hard and talked to him about how hot Australia might be when we returned. Then I introduced myself and expressed my respect. His response to me was short but to the point- "ah you! I have heard about you, you will go to Gyoin. I don't need to tell you what to do, you know where the road ahead goes. I will talk to you when that is done." I must admit I did feel like someone in their own 'Zen story'.
I think the Symposium for me highlighted the need for us all to consolidate. I realised that many of the resources we have at the Hawaii Betsuin are only immediately available to those of us who are students of Ara Sensei. Likewise, we do not have immediate access to the resources at the New York Betsuin and so forth. Having discussed this with Ara sensei, and to Monshin sensei somewhat, I hope we can all work to remedy these situations. P.S I really enjoyed hearing you guys from New York and connected Sogya chant the heart sutra in English, very interesting.
Any questions about the proceedings, feel free to ask guys.

Sophomore Laura Lovins, right, and other Penn State students react after sanctions against the football program are announced Monday.
The NCAA announced Monday morning that it would levy debilitating and nearly unprecedented sanctions on the Penn State football program, following the conviction of former defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky on 45 counts of sexual abuse of young boys and the release of the Freeh Report — which found that late head coach Joe Paterno and three other high-ranking university officials knew about the abuse and failed to take action.
The collegiate athletics governing body vacated all of the team's wins between 1998 — when the abuse was allegedly reported to Paterno — and 2011, fined the school $60 million, banned the team from participation in bowl games for four years and cut 40 total scholarships over the same period.
Was the punishment too much? Not enough? That depends entirely on who's talking.
The Internet exploded Monday after news of the sanctions broke — reactions ran the gamut from surprised approval to outrage to scathing mockery.
Depending on who you listened to, the NCAA was a beacon of moral behavior, a toothless, cowardly farce or a vindictive monster with a misplaced sense of justice.
But all basically agreed that the sanctions will cripple Penn State for years to come.
A school can't recover from any one of those penalties easily, let alone the combination. When the final, fatal blow is added to the once-hallowed image of a legendary coach, it's safe to say that Penn State football will take decades to regain some semblance of its former glory.
For that reason, some have spoken out against the severity of the punishments. Former PSU cornerback Adam Taliaferro, who suffered a debilitating spinal cord injury playing for the Nittany Lions in 2003, tweeted the following yesterday:
"NCAA says games didn't exist..I got the metal plate in my neck to prove it did..I almost died playing for PSU..punishment or healing?!?"
Sports Illustrated's Stewart Mandel was similarly disappointed in the decision, but for the impact it will have on the program's future rather than the vacated wins.
"For the sins of Joe Paterno, Graham Spanier, Gary Schultz and Tim Curley, the NCAA dropped the hammer on Bill O'Brien, Matt McGloin, Silas Redd and 20 players who won't be able to receive scholarships from Penn State over the next four years," Mandel wrote. "Justice has been served, assuming your idea of justice for rape victims is to deprive a school of its next four Outback Bowl invitations."
The point resonates because, unlike in so many other incidents worthy of NCAA sanction, the culture of the program itself was not broken.
This wasn't Southern Methodist or even Ohio State, where bribery and debauchery ruled. This was one sick individual and a handful of others too cowardly or too power-hungry to act. Players and most coaches were not complicit in this horrifying violation.
But the crimes committed were just that: horrifying.
While it's true that the guilty parties lost their jobs over the scandal and will face prosecution, the fact of the matter remains that Sandusky's crimes were covered up for the sake of the football program. The NCAA felt it needed to send a message that some things are more important than football.
"The sanctions announced by the NCAA today defame the legacy and contributions of a great coach and educator," the Paterno family wrote in a statement in response to the sanctions.
What the family appears to be missing is that this isn't an improper benefits or game-fixing scandal; nobody believes that the Sandusky cover-up had anything to do with the outcome of the stricken games.
The sole purpose of vacating those games was to send a message that now matter how great one's sporting achievements, one has a responsibility to act as a responsible human being first and foremost.
The NCAA announced to the world yesterday that if you cover up something so heinous, your football accolades don't matter.
Still, there's something incongruous here.
If the NCAA has the "death penalty," the outright cancellation of an entire season, in its arsenal, why not use it? Were the violations at SMU really more severe than Sandusky's crimes?
Some claim that the Penn State sanctions are harsher than the death penalty, but it's hard to argue with the fact that the Mustangs took two decades to return to relevance. Yes, there's the argument mentioned earlier — a punishment so harsh would unfairly harm the players, who were innocent.
But it's undeniable that the NCAA is sending a mixed message.
If the reasoning for such harsh sanctions is that the crimes were greater than football, then why can't it use its greatest weapon, one it has used before for football-related violations?
Deadspin's Drew Magary weighed in yesterday with a scathing attack on the NCAA.
"I see what you did there. You handed down enough meaty punishment for everyone to nod along in approval, but you didn't cross the line and risk a backlash by destroying the program outright by your own hand," Magary wrote. "Punishing a school is what helps the NCAA justify its existence to people, to say to the country, 'WE ARE IN CONTROL HERE, EVERYONE.'"
While Magary's piece contains vitriol usually reserved for war criminals, the point remains valid.
The only logical reason for the restraint is the prestige of Penn State's program, which is not a reason at all. The NCAA, as Magary wrote, is "putting a band-aid on an amputated head."
The NCAA could have simply allowed law enforcement and the university handle the situation. Instead, it took it upon itself to make a statement about the standard of behavior expected of its member school employees, which was admirable.
But because the NCAA didn't go all the way, Magary and the legions of like-minded fans will remain skeptical about the motivations behind its decision.
In the face of the greatest scandal in the history of college sports, the governing body left its fans feeling just as queasy as ever.

Welcome to SortedFood...
The online hub for beginners & pros.
There are hundreds of quick, easy, delicious recipe videos plus a whole load of skills, tips & tricks and cool food stuff from around the web.
Whether you want to get smarter at cooking, save some money, or just have a good laugh in the kitchen, we can definitely get you SORTED.
What is it?
Béchamel sauce, otherwise known as 'white sauce' is a classic sauce that is considered one of the 'mother sauces' in cooking. By this we mean, once you have perfected it so many other variations can stem from it and result in hundreds of uses.
At it's most basic level it is a seasoned milk-based sauce thicken with a paste made from flour and butter, which is called a roux.
What is it used for?
Béchamel sauce has many applications… at it's most simplest level it creates a sauce to accompany dishes such as lasagna, moussaka, pies and a variety of pasta sauces. Additions of cheese, mustard, tomato or spices enable them to be applied to a host of other recipes, including soufflés, croque monsieur, pies or cauliflower cheese for example.
Some SORTED examples that use a Béchamel sauce are linked in below.
1) Peel a small onion and stud it by poking in 4-5 whole cloves.
2) Submerge the onion in a pan of 500ml of milk and heat gently to warm the milk and infuse. It doesn't need to boil.
3) Melt a knob of butter (30g) in another saucepan over a gentle heat.
4) Spoon in 30g of plain flour and stir until it combines with the melted butter to form a paste, this is called a roux.
5) Cook over the heat, stirring continually for about a minute to begin to 'cook out' the roux.
6) Pour in a little of the milk and stir it in. This will thicken a lot at first.
7) Keep adding the milk a little at a time, making sure the last batch is fully incorporated and the sauce is lump-free and bubbling before adding in the next.
8) Allow the sauce to bubble very gently for at least 2-3 minutes once all the milk has been added to get rid of any raw flour taste.
9) Season the sauce with salt and pepper and use as required in your recipe.
*** Note: although the above method is traditional and correct you can also achieve a smooth and lump-free sauce without warming and infusing the milk separately and simply adding in the cold milk a little at a time.

Kat has no idea how she came into the city of Hekseville. Trying to recall the event that led her here is just giving her a headache. However, all is not bad. Kat has found something special within herself - a power to defy gravity. Using this power Kat can jump from the bottom of the ground to the ceiling above, fly across buildings and do many other things. Gravity Rush is a brand new adventure which gives its players the power to manipulate gravity as they deem fit. How will you use your power today?

Synopsis and Features
Waking up in a new world, Kat has no idea how she came to be in it or what she has to do to get out of it. Beside her is a cat that is capable of giving Kat the power to manipulate gravity. Naming the cat Dusty, Kat has to now embark on an epic quest to save the residents of Hekseville and clear her name as an outcast. Gravity Rush introduces innovative gameplay elements that are fun to play, making it a must buy for PS Vita users.
Developed by SCE Japan Studio and published by Sony Computer Entertainment, Gravity Rush offers various levels in the game that are fun to explore.

More than 70,000 fans in stadium seats and millions around the country watching on T. V. had to take a break from Super Bowl XLVII when the Superdome lost power.
It was the third quarter. The Baltimore Ravens were in the lead over the San Francisco 49ers and then the excitement abruptly stopped when half the Superdome in New Orleans went dark. Jonathan Waler, a fan who watched the Super Bowl for the first time this year said things happen. "I think it was just a mistake. It's no big deal," Waler said.
The power was out for 34 minutes. The auxiliary power kicked in, so the entire stadium wasn't black, which left fans watching players just sitting on the sidelines. "It did freeze the Baltimore people a little bit. Kind of cooled them up a bit and they definitely lost momentum," Waler said.
After the power was restored, the 49ers rallied. However, even with the added momentum after the outage, the 49ers couldn't pull it off and lost to the Ravens with a final score of 34-31.
In a statement, the NFL said they're investigating the cause of the power outage and law enforcement officials told ABC News it was just an issue with the building.

Heart disease and cancer, the two most deadly killers of our time, are each affected by an immune response that may play a key role in a host of chronic diseases, researchers say.
That immune response is inflammation.
Inflammation is normal and necessary to fight off a sinus infection or help heal a cut. Yet at times it can soar out of control, causing severe illness and death. The process that makes inflammation run amuck is complex. It seems to vary with the trigger and the part of the body it invades.
"Our appreciation for what inflammation can do is growing," says Carl Nathan, Ph.D., a New York immunology expert. "In many ways, we have an epidemic of chronic inflammation."
Heart disease is an example, he says. Doctors used to think of atherosclerosis, the hardening and narrowing of arteries, as a problem with the way the body stores fats in the blood. "Now, we know it's a consequence of chronic inflammation," he says.
In heart disease, chronic inflammation damages the inside of coronary arteries and leaves them prone to plaque that clogs the blood vessels. Inflammation is one of the players that makes plaque more prone to rupturing inside an artery, leading to a blood clot. A blood clot can then cause a heart attack.
Chronic inflammation also plays a role in some cancers, diabetes, asthma, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, lupus, ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease, Barrett's esophagus, macular degeneration, and obesity. It shares the blame for central nervous system disorders such as multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer's disease, and Lou Gehrig's disease, says Richard M. Ransohoff, M.D., a Cleveland researcher on neuroinflammation. "In some diseases it's a prime mover and in others it plays a lesser role," he says.
"The thing about inflammation," Dr. Nathan adds, "is that it's on the verge of happening all the time. It's a kind of license to kill, but something restrains it, and we need to learn much more about that mechanism."
What can you do to reduce the risk that inflammation may lead to heart disease, cancer, diabetes, or some other chronic illness?
First, find out if you already have chronic inflammation. Ask your doctor about a blood test for C-reactive protein, which can show if you might have chronic inflammation. The test, which costs about $50 and is covered by some insurance plans, was recently improved. "We know that a high C-reactive protein is an indicator for increased risk for a heart attack," Dr. Ransohoff says. Researchers are weighing how that test might help gauge risks of cancer and other ailments. When you have C-reactive protein checked, be sure to tell your doctor if you are currently ill with a cold or other infection, as the test may not be accurate.
Work with your doctor to prevent and control infections and autoimmune disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis. Both can lead to increased inflammation. That, in turn, may cause heart disease and cancer.
Eat a nutritious diet and get exercise. Overeating can set off the inflammatory process, which may play a key role in obesity. Exercise releases proteins that fight inflammation.
Reduce stress. High stress levels cause C-reactive protein to spike, says Robert Genco, D.D.S., Ph.D., a Buffalo specialist in oral biology and microbiology. Dr. Genco has studied the links among diabetes, heart disease, and gum disease for more than 25 years. The infection from gum disease "causes a hyperinflammatory response that appears likely to affect some systemic illnesses, especially diabetes," he says.
Ask your doctor if a daily low-dose aspirin is right for you. Aspirin may help stave off a heart attack and colon cancer. Ask whether a fish oil supplement might help, too.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — Former Louisville Metro Councilwoman Judy Green, who was ousted from office in 2011for ethics violations, has died after suffering a heart attack. She was 57.
A.D. Porter & Sons Funeral Home confirmed her death. Her attorney, Derwin Webb, told The Courier-Journal (http://cjky.it/VYW4y1 ) she suffered a heart attack.
Green's daughter, Joy, said her mother died early Tuesday morning.
City officials remembered her commitment to her district and her family. Councilwoman Cheri Bryant Hamilton said Green acted with the best intentions even if she didn't go about things in the right way. Hamilton said Green "did good in this community."
She was just the second city lawmaker to be removed from office. A unanimous jury of colleagues found 16 months ago that she had committed ethics violations and mismanaged taxpayer money.

M.S.W. ProgramView slideshow
Virginia Commonwealth University's Master of Social Work program is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of the Council on Social Work Education. Accreditation standards establish educational policy and minimum curriculum requirements for our Master of Social Work programs.
M.S.W. program graduates are prepared to work in a wide range of practice settings, including hospitals, mental health, family service agencies, schools, criminal justice, policy practice and administrative settings. Starting salaries for entry level M.S.W. positions are approximately $36,000-$42,000.
The School of Social Work offers three programs that lead to the Master of Social Work:
- The advanced standing program, which requires that the applicant has earned a B.S.W. degree during the previous five years, a total GPA of 3.0 and a GPA of 3.2 for the last 60 hours.
- The 60-credit hour program.
- The distance education program (part-time)
Prospective Student Welcome Days
The School of Social Work M.S.W. Program encourages you to participate in one of our Prospective Student Welcome Days. Find out more and register.
Advanced standing program
The advanced standing program leads to a Master of Social Work upon completion of 39 credit hours, taken over the course of three continuous semesters (summer, fall and spring). In the summer term, students take three two-credit-hour courses and field instruction for 21 hours per week. In the following fall and spring semesters, students continue in their chosen concentration. Students select one of two concentration options: clinical social work or social work administration, planning and policy practice (SWAPPP).
The advanced standing program is a full-time program only and cannot be pursued on a part-time basis.
60-credit hour program
The 60-credit hour program at VCU leads to a Master of Social Work upon completion of 60 credit hours, and may be completed on either a full-time or part-time basis. The first 30 credits make up the foundation curriculum of the program, and the final 30 credits make up the concentration curriculum consisting of two options: clinical social work or social work administration, planning and policy practice (SWAPPP).
Full-time study requires that students complete 15 credit hours in both the fall and spring semesters for two academic years. Four three-credit courses and a three-credit field internship are required each semester. The foundation internship requires 14 hours a week (two days) for two consecutive terms. The concentration internship requires 21 hours per week (three days) for two consecutive terms. Students will complete a total of two practice internships, one in the foundation year and another in the concentration year.
» Courses by title and semester offered [PDF]
Structured part-time study requires students to complete a minimum of six (but no more than nine) credits every fall and spring semester, totaling 60 credits at the end of four years. Part-time students complete the two required internships during the second and fourth years of study, making full-time employment during this time very difficult. One of the two field placements can be completed as a block placement requiring 40 hours a week typically in the summer following completion of all foundation or concentration work.

HoopsHype Jason Kapono rumors
David 'Dubi' Pick: Former NBA & 3-Point Shootout champ Jason Kapono, last seen in Greece in 2013, has retired. Now resides in Austin, Texas. Twitter @IAmDPick
Jason Kapono is out from PAO BC. At least that's what he wants and asked before today's game against KAOD. The American sharp shooter is not expected to finish the season in Greece, as he appeares to be irritated by his lack of minutes in Euroleague and in the Greek league. This is more than truth, since he wasn't used not even for a second in the last game against Anadolu Efes. EuroHoops.net
Jason Kapono wrote an open letter which was posted in Panathinaikos bc official website. The American forward is thanking the Greek team for its support to his family problems (his wife is having pregnancy complications), but he still haven't decided if he will come to Athens. "Having reached a deal with Panathinaikos last week, I faced an unexpected family emergency, that delayed my departure to Greece. At this moment my situation is still unclear and I don't know yet if it will prevent me from fulfilling my obligations to the team. My agents and Panathinaikos are in constant contact and me and my family will try to find a positive solution. Panathinaikos is one of the most legendary clubs in Europe and I was excited to join them and be a part of their winning tradition. Everyone in the team is fully professional and respected my situation, specially owner Mr. Giannakopoulos, whom I thank personally about his support". EuroHoops.net
Panathinaikos announced officially on Friday the 16th of November the singing of Jason Kapono and a few hours latter his wife had complications in her latest pregnancy. The Greek club is in constant contact with the player, waits to be informed about the new date of his arrival – he was scheduled to travel to Greece on Sunday – and clarified to the American player that his wife will have the best possible medical care in Athens. EuroHoops.net
Kapono seems to appreciate the behavior of the club, but he is worried due to the condition of his wife and he seems reluctant to come immediately to Greece on his own, or with his whole family. The Greens on the other hand can't wait forever and even with his contract being signed, the deal could be voided. Kapono should decide what he will do in the next two or three days. If not, then Panathinaikos will not have any other choice than to move on. EuroHoops.net
Emiliano Carchia: Panathinaikos signed former NBA Player Jason Kapono. Via @Niki Bakouli Twitter @SportandoBasket
Jason Kapono is close to penning a deal with Panathinaikos, according to Gazzetta.gr. The sharpshooter is in advanced talkts with PAO and might finalize the deal very soon. Sportando
He remains optimistic and views Leandro Barbosa's late signing with the Boston Celtics and Eddy Curry signing with Dallas just days before the start of the season as hope that he'll, too, soon find a new home. "Ultimately, I have to stay ready, which I am, as far as in the gym, and stay positive," Howard said. "I don't think my career's over." Other notable players still looking for a team: Guards: Derek Fisher, Gilbert Arenas (in talks with Chinese team), Baron Davis, Earl Boykins, Mickael Pietrus, Michael Redd, Maurice Evans, Jason Kapono. Forwards/Centers: Kenyon Martin, Shawne Williams, Quentin Richardson, Bobby Simmons, Bill Walker, Jamario Moon, Renaldo Balkman, Ryan Gomes, Troy Murphy, Josh Powell, Derrick Caracter, Ben Wallace, Greg Oden, Sean Williams, Tony Battie, Mehmet Okur. NBA.com
Adrian Wojnarowski: Free agent Jason Kapono has been working out with the San Antonio Spurs this week, league sources tell Y! Sports. Twitter
This strikes us, foremost, as due diligence. The Spurs are always on the lookout for knockdown 3-point shooters and, once upon a time at least, Kapono was that. However, the Spurs are already relatively well-stocked on the wings. Unless another shooter were to leave for some reason, it's difficult to see how Kapono might fit. San Antonio Express-News
Adrian Wojnarowski: Cleveland plans to waive Jason Kapono, league source tells Y! He was part of LA package in Ramon Sessions trade. Kapono will be free agent. Twitter
Adrian Wojnarowski: As part of the Ramon Sessions package, the Lakers sent Jason Kapono to Cleveland, league source tells Y! Sports. Twitter
Jason Kapono's wife, Ashley, gave birth to twin girls Tuesday, Campbell and Isla. Kapono was excused from the Lakers' home game against Phoenix on Tuesday night, but he was scheduled to meet the team afterward to join the Lakers' flight from Los Angeles to Salt Lake City for the game at Utah on Wednesday night. Kapono didn't play in the game Sunday night against Memphis, with Lakers coach Mike Brown opting for the ball-handling and offensive creativity of rookie Andrew Goudelock as the backup shooting guard. Orange County Register
Jason Kapono doesn't figure he will be a Lakers starter for long. Noting Kobe Bryant's history of playing through injuries, Kapono said he expected the star shooting guard to be in the Lakers' lineup as usual on Christmas in their opener against Chicago. "I think you'd be a fool to not think that," Kapono said Wednesday before filling in for Bryant, who sat out the Lakers' final exhibition game against the Clippers at Staples Center because of a torn ligament in his right wrist.
