Rigatoni with Zucchini, Tomatoes and Cream (p. 92)
It got sprung on me the night before that I'd be making dinner (I thought my husband would be out of town) so I quickly picked something from this book that looked fairly simple and rushed to hte store in the morning. While this isn't quite a simple as it looks, it is still easy and very tasty. You cut up 3 pounds of tomatoes into chunks and saute them for about 10 minutes, then zap them in the processor. Meanwhile heat olive oil and saute sliced and halved zucchini until lightly browned and add a bit of salt, then set aside on a plate. Reduce the heat and add garlic, basil and Aleppo pepper (loved this touch of pepper), cook for until fragrant, add tomato puree and reduce by about half. Stir in cream, a bit of parmesan, salt, pepper and fold in the zucchini. Cook the pasta, put into the pan with the sauce, stir to coat, sprinkle with cheese and chopped parsley. I thought this was really tasty and perfect for a fall night. Lulu claimed she loved the pasta but not the sauce - when given the leftovers for lunch yesterday she cleaned the thermos clean, so she can't have disliked the sauce all that much.
Penne with Gorgonzola, Beets and Toasted Walnuts
My copy of the book hasn't arrived yet, but I found this recipe using EYB and then searching online. I deviated a bit from the recipe, but I think I kept the basic idea intact. After cooking and slicing a couple of beets, a gorgonzola cheese sauce is made. To start the sauce, they have you mince garlic and thinly slice some red onion. Those are cooked, then wine is added and reduced. Then cream is added and simmered and you're supposed to strain the sauce. Straining the sauce seemed a bit too fiddly for me for a weeknight meal, so I finely chopped the onions and just left those and the garlic in the sauce. While I was making the sauce, I realized that I only had half of the gorgonzola called for (and my beets and onion were on the small side), so I cut the sauce recipe in half for the cream and gorgonzola, but used the full amount of wine. After the straining, gorgonzola is melted into the sauce and it's seasoned with salt and pepper. Cooked penne pasta is then added to the pan that has the sauce along with the cooked beets and walnuts. I wasn't sure if in the book it specifies whether the walnuts should be whole or chopped. I decided to chop mine. These are stirred until the sauce turns pink. Garnish with parmesan and parsley and serve.
The sauce was quite rich and we both liked it, except for the color! It looked like someone had poured Pepto-Bismol on top of the pasta and that just wasn't very appetizing.
re: TxnInMtl
I didn't know you could melt gorgonzola, but then I don't think I've ever tried.
I do agree about the color, but maybe those golden beets would be the answer?
Just to note, this recipe is in The Union Square Cafe Cookbook, page 50.
re: blue room
It's worth trying. I love blue cheese sauces.
Golden beets is a good idea. Candy cane might also work nicely for a lighter shade. We had a beet risotto over the weekend and the dark red looked great, so I was surprised when this one ended up being such a turn-off. I think the cream just puts it at a weird in-between stage for me.
Thanks for adding the page number. I hope my used copy arrives soon!
re: TxnInMtl
I just got my copy of the first book yesterday, and didn't have much time to look at it, but I did see this one and thought it sounded wonderful. They have it listed in the apps section. I'd be feeding 3 - do you think it would do as a main?
I've made radicchio risotto and had that same sort of "um, not sure about this color" feeling!
re: LulusMom
I served it as a main with a large side of salad. Scaled very roughly in half, we still ended up with leftovers, although we're both light eaters. I think you'll be fine.
re: TxnInMtl
My apologies! I just realized I put this in entirely the wrong thread. I should have read more closely this morning. I'll put a link in the proper thread ...
Pappardelle al Sugo di Coniglio (SH, p. 76)
This is why I went online looking for this book a few years ago. I *had* to have the recipe after having this at Union Square Cafe one blustery January afternoon. I still think that it may be the best pasta dish--rich but not heavy sauce, silky thin pasta—I have ever eaten. And not because of any particular sentiments associated with that meal. (I was with two colleagues, of whom I'm quite fond, but I felt a bit like a 5th wheel as they were in love.) It may simply be that the meal was so eminently satisfying because it was so bitterly cold out.
I decided to try to recreate the dish as my inaugural COTM endeavor. My first hurdle was my husband, who hates the idea of eating rabbit. However, we'd made a deal a while ago: he said that he had no objection to eating Thumper if I could disguise it and not tell him. I planned my subterfuge for Sunday, when I knew he'd be absorbed in football and other sports—and when I'd have lots of time. (This is not a difficult dish by any means, but it is time-consuming).
You start by roasting a rabbit (cut into several pieces and tossed with 2 T OO, one celery stalk and half a lg. onion, thinly sliced, a head of garlic, quartered and unpeeled, 6 whole basil leaves, 1 sprig of thyme, chopped, 1 ½ tsp. kosher salt, ¼ tsp. pepper) at 450F for 30 minutes. Your kitchen will start to smell like heaven. Then you pull out the pan and pour a cup of white wine over the mix; return to oven for another 10 minutes or so.
Reduce heat to 350F. Pour 2 c chicken stock over the rabbit; cover the pan with foil; let it braise in the oven for another hour or until rabbit is tender. Remove rabbit pieces and set aside to cool. Strain the braising liquid (there will be a lot) into a bowl, pressing on solids.
Once meat cools, remove it from the bones and chop it finely. To finish the sugo: heat 2 T OO over med. heat (I used my LC DO). Add 1 c. chopped pancetta (it's a lot, but I think this is what makes the dish) and cook to render fat, 3 minutes or so. Reduce heat to low, add veggies (1 celery stalk and the other half of that lg. onion, 1 tsp garlic, ½ c. carrots—all minced), and cook about 10 minutes, until soft. Stir in rabbit meat. Add reserved braising liquid, 3 c. basic tomato sauce (I had some of mine on hand in the freezer—otherwise you'll have to make it, which you could do while the rabbit is cooking), 1 T. sliced fresh basil, and, according to the recipe, simmer for 30 minutes. (Did I mention that you'll hardly be able to stand the amazing aromas in your kitchen?)
After 30 minutes, the sugo was thin and soupy so I let mine bubble away for another 45 minutes, which it really needed. (I reduced it even further for my second use of the sauce, tonight's lasagne.) After removing pot from heat, I stirred in ½ c grated Parmigiano and 1 T chopped fresh parsley.
We ate this with an excellent (dried) store-bought pappardelle (if I had any hope that I could do as well making my own, I might have), roasted brussels sprouts, and lettuce/cherry tomato salad.
Did this live up to the USC dish? Almost. I would say that I've made bolognese sauces that I've liked every bit as much as this. But this was damned good, really good. And my husband still doesn't know that the meal he raved about Sunday night was rabbit. He asked if I'd use some of the leftover sauce (this makes a lot) for lasagne, so we're having that tonight.
re: nomadchowwoman
Well that's a compelling post! I was in great suspense, waiting to find out if the dish was equal to your memory of the cafe. Glad to hear it was close enough ..
re: nomadchowwoman
"He said that he had no objection to eating Thumper if I could disguise it and not tell him." Thanks for the laugh.
re: nomadchowwoman
What a beautiful sauce!
Next time I see a good looking rabbit, I'll be making this dish. It sounds like a nice way to spend the morning in the kitchen.
re: nomadchowwoman
Thanks all; this turned out to be the gift that kept on giving: lasagne on a subsequent night, w/leftovers another; a sauce made from the leftover sugo and some added rehydrated porcini, a lttle chicken and porcini stock, a little more tomato sauce, eaten with pasta tonight. In other words, we've eaten this several nights this week.
re: nomadchowwoman
Wow, that sounds amazing, both dishes!
re: nomadchowwoman
Nice dice, Nomad...! The whole meal looks Cafe worthy.
re: nomadchowwoman
I've never cooked rabbit, but you've just convinced me to give it a go once I get my copy of the book! Thanks for the great write-up.
a simple an non-stodgy but flavorful rendition of pasta fagiole which we very much enjoyed and I liked the very Italian refinements to this dish.
2 cups of dried chickpeas are soaked and then cooked til tender with an herb bundle (fresh parsley stems, rosemary sticks, bay leaf, peppercorns) and pecorino rind. I left the herbs loose mainly out of laziness and used a parmesan rind rather than pecorino. Odori (chopped onion, carrot, celery garlic chopped rosemary and red pepper flakes are sautéed til softened – the chickpeas (drained) are then added, along with some chopped oven or sun dried tomatoes (I used a some semi-dried tomatoes from Italy and some sundried) and the herbs – the mix is cooked for 50 min. then the herb bundle is removed (I pulled out sticks) and about 1 cup of chickpeas. The soup is then pureed (I used a stick blender).
The ditalini or other small pasta is cooked separately in water, then the dish is assembled by adding the pasta to the soup, along with the reserved chickpeas; the mix is cooked together, seasoning checked and adjusted and served up in bowls sprinkled with chopped parsley, grated pecorino cheese and (my add) a drizzle of good olive oil)
I had upsized the recipe, and it lent itself very well to multiple quick meals, by keeping the bean soup ( I had reincorporated the whole beans) and pasta in separate containers and assembling, microwaving and garnishing the soup in individual bowls for serving. All in all a very nice refined recipe, we will repeat.
ps - forgot to add, my daughter, particularly, liked to sprinkle this with some pepper flakes (the aleppo is best, I think) I like it both ways.
Chicken Liver Crostini (SH, p. 8)
We love chicken or duck liver pâté and spreads and I'm always up for trying a new recipe so I tried this one a week or so ago, and, as my husband said, "you don't ever need another one."
Cook chopped pancetta (1/4 c.) of minutes in OO; add ½ c chopped onion cook another few minutes until soft. Add and cook for a few minutes: 3 ea. juniper berries and fresh sage leaves, 2 anchovies, ½ tsp. capers. Add ½ lb. chicken livers (well-dried and seasoned w/salt and pepper) to skillet and cook another couple of minutes. Add ¼ c white wine and simmer until wine is almost evaporated. Add ½ c chicken stock and simmer until reduced by half. Swirl in 2 T butter. (Since I had a pound of chicken livers, I doubled the recipe.)
I used my immersion blender to puree this, opting for smooth rather than chunky. We enjoyed it the first time warm, topped w/sliced scallion, on simply grilled baguette slices. (I didn't bother making the croutons as directed in the recipe.) I packed the rest into ramekins and drizzled some melted butter over the tops. On a subsequent night, we smeared this into endive leaves. Saturday we took this to a friend's, where we had it before dinner on Raincoast Crisps, topped with diced apple. Delicious in all iterations.
I'm making another double recipe tonight as we've gone through the previous batch, and this will be a great thing to have in the freezer. It really is a wonderful chicken liver spread.
re: nomadchowwoman
wow, this sounds wonderful. And Pate' freezes well??
re: nomadchowwoman
This sounds delicious, and very similar to the liver pâté I make for the Xmas season. I will definitely try it out. I always add a squirt of tomato paste before the wine (or sherry). I think that along with the anchovies and herbs are what make for a superior pâté. And I agree on the freezing. Even better with a cap of clarified butter!
re: rabaja
We had some from the freezer tonight; in fact, it comprised most of our dinner tonight.
Next time, I'll ad a squirt of tomato paste, rabaja; I can't imagine it would hurt!

The DJG Predator™ Hidden Headlight Grille is a revolutionary grille design with aggressive appearance and unique features. The patent pending, removable headlamp bezels make this grille truly different. With the bezels installed you can change the appearance of the car just by turning the headlights off and on. The headlight shining through the bezel slits are not only eye-catching, they make the car look like a tiger that has fixed its eyes on the prey, with all muscles ready for the killing leap. The grille is manufactured with the grille in stainless steel double crimped mesh, a powder coat finish frame and stainless steel trim. The bezels are attached with race-car-inspired 1/4 turn fasteners that secure them to the primary grille frame. They are truly secured with these fasteners. The bezel installation has been track tested at over 140 MPH with no signs of problems. The bezels can be removed or installed in less than 10 seconds for the pair. Only one fastener per side is required, making the change race quick. The look is equally impressive with or without the removable bezels installed. A special tool to install and remove the bezels is included in the kit. (This tool also works great as a bottle opener!).
Each headlight opening is completely finished around the in- and outside of the opening to assure an OEM quality look with or without the bezel installed. The striking stainless steel trim can be custom painted to match other modifications to the vehicle.
Make your Camaro's performance even more spectacular by adding the DAC (Direct Air Channel) system — this replaces the factory inlet ducting and air cleaner, bringing cold intake air through the upper grille opening and over the top of the radiator and into the throttle body before it picks up heat from the engine. The faster you go, the more air is forced into the intake for more power! The lower grille opening routes cold air directly into the radiator, lowering engine and underhood temperatures as well.
Installation time should be no more than an hour for an experienced hand, a little longer for the methodical or inexperienced. If you sell the car or simply change your mind, reinstallation of the original Chevy grille is straightforward.1,622.25Brand: DJ Grilles Part Number: 3101-10-CF303-DARK-BLUE

Lewis Hamilton heads into the summer break in an upbeat mood has he feels his Budapest win has vaulted him back into the title race...
Lewis Hamilton heads into the summer break in an upbeat mood has he feels his Budapest win has vaulted him back into the title race.
The 28-year-old claimed his maiden victory as a Mercedes driver on Sunday as he won the Hungarian Grand Prix from pole position. Despite the win, Hamilton is still 48 points behind Sebastian Vettel in the standings.
Vettel remains favourite for the Championship, but Hamilton's odds at Paddy Power have shortened after his latest success.
Asked if he can now challenge for the title, he replied: "Of course, it's definitely in the back of my mind.
"When I signed I didn't think I would win a race this season. [Now] we've had the hottest race of the whole year and we had a performance like we did.
"It definitely gives me confidence for the next nine races [that] we can continue moving forward and have some more good opportunities to win, especially when we go to Spa where it's cooler [which] might be better for us."
There are still nine races left in the season and what will be pleasing to Mercedes is the fact several of the tracks suit Hamilton's driving style. You can put money on back-to-back wins for Hamilton and more at Paddy Power.
For now Hamilton and the rest of the Formula One fraternity can relax a bit as the sport is on a four-week break, and the 2008 World Champion believes his win came at just the right time for his Mercedes squad.
"There is no better feeling for a team to go into a break than to win," he is quoted as saying by Autosport.
"I was lucky enough to do it with McLaren. It was always a real good boost for them to go into that period of time relaxed, knowing we'd had a win.
"I feel it will do the same for this team, [as it is] the first time they have had that feeling going into a break. It's a big boost for us.
"Maybe we have a better chance of moving forward these next few races.
"It definitely picks you up - for the next few days it will keep me right on a high.
"Normally I don't really train much over the summer break, but this time I'm going to train intensely and hopefully come back stronger for the second half of the season."

I have not been around here for a long time...
I have been gone from the A.N. forums for a long while! We had a big move to a new house, and we couldn't sell our old house for many many months!! For a long while, we were paying the bills on two properties. But, all that is over now, we finally sold our old house and are just now beginning to get caught up financially again! I have been working on creative things when I can and thought I would share a few here in the A.N. Gallery.

Lockheed Martin's Incoming CEO Resigns Over Relationship With Subordinate
Originally published on Fri November 9, 2012 7:16 pm
Lockheed Martin announced that its board of directors asked for the resignation of Christopher E. Kubasik, 51, the current chief operating officer and incoming chief executive office.
"Kubasik, previously slated to become CEO in January, resigned after an ethics investigation confirmed that he had a close personal relationship with a subordinate employee," Lockeheed said in a statement. "His actions violated the company's Code of Ethics and Business Conduct, but did not affect the company's operational or financial performance."

Required courses and specifics about degrees offered in this program
Build yourself a great career by enrolling in our carpentry program. In addition to classroom instruction and shop work, we offer real-world carpentry situations at off-site projects. Everyone enrolled in our construction trade programs works collectively to build a home with green building techniques and materials. Together, you'll learn the specialized skills, industry collaboration and carefully managed timing it takes to build a house from the blueprint stage to testing the doorbell. This real-life application gives you the added advantage of experience with the entire construction process rather than the isolated theory of a singular construction field.
Classroom and hands-on training will cover the following:
Graduates of our carpentry program can work as general laborers or general carpenters on construction sites performing concrete forming and placing, framing, exterior finishing, roofing, interior finishing, trim work, cabinetry and drywall work. You'll also earn advanced standing in an apprenticeship program with the carpenters union, which opens even more doors to a successful future.

text: by Virginia Maksymowicz and Blaise Tobia Part 2: More Rome, on to Naples The best part of visiting any city is wandering its streets; in Rome, of course, one expects chance encounters with marvelous churches, sculptural monuments, historic ruins and scavi (archeological excavations). But contemporary street art abounds as well. Some of it is obvious, such as the graffiti in the metro that transported us (as native New Yorkers) back to the 1980s of Lady Pink and DAZE. Some of it is subtle, like the small, black and white stickers of a man sporting sunglasses and a priest's collar, stenciled ... More » »

Hi, new to the forum and I would be very greatful for any help. I am setting up a portable rig with a Bobcat 250nt. I have a Spoolmatic 30a and WC-115A controller with contactor. So far so good. Now I also have the HF-251d-1 with NO contactor. My question: Is it possible to use the WC-115A controller w/contactor in series before the HF-251D-1 so I can TIG aluminum with the contactor from WC-115A? And if thats possible can I use the gas solenoid from the HF box (without removing it) for my Spoolmatic? With a quick disconnect hose fitting so I can just change from TIG to Spoolmatic. Any help would be great. Thanks.

Is there a way?
you could always just run a momentary contact switch from the torch to the HF251 that activates the HF and gas flow and scratch TIG without contactor..
here is a link to a similar situation about a dialarc..
your life would have been much simpler if you had gotten a Trailblazer rather than the Bobcat.. the TB has the 14pin interface and works very well with the HF251 and RFCS-14 Foot Pedal for mobile tig.. The TB would not have needed the WC115 at all.. just a WC24 to run the 30A
The 30A DOES NOT need a gas solenoid... it has a built in gas valve as part of the trigger..
For mobile TIG... your best option would be to sell the HF251 and get a Dynasty 200DX... you will be happier in the long run..
this is my 2cents worth.. others may think differently...
The more you know, The better you know, How little you know
The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten
Buy the best tools you can afford.. Learn to use them to the best of your ability.. and take care of them...

September 1 2015 Latest news:
Saturday, February 15, 2014
Suffolk and Essex have been lashed by more strong winds overnight, causing damage, power cuts and travel problems.
There are reports of trees being brought down across the region, and thousands left without power, following the gales which were expected to reach more than 60mph on the coast.
The Orwell Bridge has reopened having been closed since 10pm last night. It was initially due to reopen at 6am but was delayed as the strong winds continued.
There has been minor disruption on some Greater Anglia rail services, with a number of trains delayed due to obstructions on the line.
On Saturday morning over 2,000 properties in Suffolk and nearly 1,800 in Essex were without power.
Suffolk police say they received more than 190 weather-related calls overnight and this morning - mainly for trees and branches in roads, although that figure is likely to rise as further damage is discovered first thing this morning.
But no major roads in the county - apart from the Orwell Bridge - are thought to be affected.
Bull Lane in Long Melford is described as "just passable" between the A134 junction and the B1064 Hall Street junction due to flooding.
While The B1022 in Tiptree is blocked between Harborough Hall Road and Blind Lane, and Beckingham Road in Tolleshunt D'arcy are both blocked in the both directions because of a fallen tree.
Essex County Fire and Rescue Service control room say they have received around 100 calls between 8pm last night and 8.25am today to incidents involving the high winds.
The calls have ranged from trees fallen in the roads, power cables that have come down, a crane in a precarious position and roofs blowing off properties.
Police are advising motorists to allow extra time for their journeys, reduce their speed, leaver greater distance between themselves and the vehicle in front and consider the likelihood that there could be a fallen tree or debris on the road ahead.
Ipswich Borough Council's parks and cemeteries will reopen early this afternoon after council staff carried out a safety assessment following last night's wild weather.
"We will reopen parks this afternoon but we still advise people to take caution in open spaces," a spokesman said.
All football games scheduled for this morning and afternoon at Whitton and Gainsborough sports centres, Ransomes and Ipswich parks have been cancelled following a further pitch inspection.
Meanwhile, the Met Office has issued a yellow warning for ice in Essex, Suffolk and Norfolk, and the Environment Agency have issued flood alerts for the Bury Brook, Rattlesden River and River Gipping through and including Stowmarket and Needham Market, the River Deben from and including Debenham to Bromeswell and the River Lark from Clopton to Martlesham, and the River Waveney from Diss to Ellingham including Bungay.

Keep what close together? Who or what is "them"? Please explain MIGUEL100.
Saturday, February 15, 2014
why not keep them close altogether till the weather take a turn
Saturday, February 15, 2014
Yep well done john with you all the way
Sunday, February 16, 2014
please can i ask why the orwell bridge has to be closed in high winds .with the weight of many of the hgv lorrys it would make more sence for the police road controllers to escort so many vechiels over at controled speed .to keep this main route open to save the gridlock as seen last week
Saturday, February 15, 2014
I think it is quite obvious what 'MIGUEL100' means: he meant to say "closed" and he obviously refers to those places closed but soon to re-open (such as parks). When reading it is sometimes useful 'Newsmaster Excalibur' to use context to aid comprehension. You don't happen to be part of the Archant staff, do you?

care plan will help your child's teachers and
other school staff know when and how to manage your child's diabetes. For
example, if your child needs to eat shortly after taking insulin or to have a
snack in class, then a teacher or other adult can make sure that this happens.
At the same time, the teacher will know not to make your child stand out as
"the kid with diabetes." Your child may also feel better knowing that his or
her teachers or other school staff can help when needed.
It's a good idea to meet with the school staff, including
the principal, teachers, coaches, bus driver, school nurse, and lunchroom
workers, before your child starts school and at the beginning of each school
year. Update the plan each year before school starts, and tell the school staff
about any changes to the plan.
A diabetes
care plan lists all the information that the school staff
needs to know to make sure your child's diabetes is under control. Be sure to write down information about:

Portland, Ore. -- Former Oregon Governor Vic Atiyeh has died.
The former governor died at 8:15 p.m. Sunday at Portland's Providence St. Vincent Medical Center from complications from renal failure.
He served as governor for the state of Oregon for eight years, from 1979 through 1987.
Atiyeh was the first Arab-American governor in the country.
He is survived by his wife of 70 years and two children.
He was 91 years old.
House Republican Leader Mike McLane (R-Powell Butte) issued the following statement tonight upon learning of the passing of former governor Vic Atiyeh:
"It is with deep sadness that House Republicans have learned of the passing of Vic Atiyeh. He was the epitome of a public servant and gave so much to so many in Oregon. Governor Atiyeh was quick to encourage this generation to work together to solve Oregon's problems. He was our example. He will be missed by all of us. Our thoughts and prayers are with Governor Atiyeh's family."

They've contested 999 Grands Prix, won 186 of them, been on pole 160 times and set 156 fastest laps.
They have won the last 12 Formula 1 world titles.
They are the six World Champions about to take part in the 2012 Formula 1 Qantas Australian Grand Prix. And every one of them is already a Melbourne race-winner.
That's Sebastian Vettel (title-winner in 2010-11), Jenson Button (2009), Lewis Hamilton (2008), Kimi Raikkonen (2007), Fernando Alonso (2005-06) and Michael Schumacher (2000-04).
Three questions come to mind, and we'll take the six aces in title-winning order.
Question 1: when did they each last win a race?
Vettel: three races ago, for Red Bull at the inaugural Indian Grand Prix
Button: five races ago, for McLaren in Japan
Hamilton: two races ago, also for McLaren in Abu Dhabi
Raikkonen: 44 races ago, for Ferrari in Belgium in August 2009
Alonso: 11 races ago, for Ferrari at the British Grand Prix
Schumacher: 93 races ago, for Ferrari in China in October 2006
Question 2: what's their current standing in F1?
Vettel: the sport's current undisputed #1 and a candidate to be the third driver in history to take three consecutive world titles – and he's still only 24.
81 races, 21 wins, 30 poles and nine fastest laps
Button: runner-up last year, came on strong in the second half of the year when the McLaren finally kicked in, reached new levels of maturity and race-craft 12 years on from his F1 debut here in 2000. A strong contender for a second title in 2012.
208 races, 12 wins, seven poles and six fastest laps
Hamilton: had an up-and-down year in 2011, overshadowed by out-of-cockpit concerns that seem to be behind him now. A heart-on-sleeve racer who is desperate to improve on a World Championship sequence of 5th-4th-5th since he won his title in `08.
90 races, 17 wins, 19 poles and 11 fastest laps
Raikkonen: it should have been RK in the cockpit (Robert Kubica), instead in the injured Pole's absence it's now KR. The Finn's an obvious focal point for the media frenzy in 2012. Two years away from F1, but not from competitive driving: he's tried the World Rally Championship ("For sure I will go back"), truck racing but nothing satisfies the real hunger. If the Lotus works, so will Kimi.
156 races, 18 wins, 16 poles and 35 fastest laps
Alonso: long time since he was champ, isn't it? And early indications are that the F2012 may not be (or at least not yet) the steed to change that. But as Mark Webber says, as long as Fernando has a steering-wheel in his hands you discount him at your peril.
177 races, 27 wins (5th= on the all-time list), 20 poles and 19 fastest laps
Schumacher: this year, all being well, Michael will follow former team-mate Rubens Barrichello as the second driver to rack up over 300 Grands Prix. But it's nearly 100 since he last won… and he hasn't even been on a podium since he came back with Mercedes two seasons ago. A lot rides on the W03 – but wouldn't it be wonderful to see if Schumi can still do it in a competitive car?
287 races, 91 wins (40 more than anyone in history), 68 poles and 76 fastest laps
Question 3: where will they finish this weekend?
Vettel: "Nothing has changed," says Seb. "I am still hungry, and I am still getting upset when there is someone else beating me." Watch for the Wunderkind – a keen student of the record-books – putting down a marker with a second straight Melbourne win…
Button: he's already a back-to-back Melbourne winner, of course, and if the MP4-27 (the prettiest car out there this year) is reasonably sorted for the start of the season he might claim a third. "You always want more laps and more time in the car," he says, "but unlike last year we've had a very solid start to our pre-season."
Hamilton: "I actually feel more relaxed and ready for the season than I think I've ever done," says the 2008 Melbourne victor. Lewis loves to race and if a scrap develops he'll be right in the thick of it.
Raikkonen: Kimi won his very first race for Ferrari here in `07 and is one of an elite few who won the title in his first year in the fabled red cars. Lotus had their own dramas with the E20 in testing but eventually came out on top, and there's only one thing we need to remember about Kimi. "I'm a good racer," he says, "and I want to get to the front."
Alonso: "We will have to grit our teeth for the first few races," admits Fernando after a rugged pre-season with the F2012. But he's still the same combative, never-say-die driver, he's still extremely quick and he's still very pragmatic. "Once we know where we stand," he says, "then we can set ourselves more precise targets."
Schumacher: "We're ready," insists the peerless German. But is the W03? "Anyone who knows me knows I'm always committed," says Michael, but at 43 does he still have the raw pace to match team-mate Rosberg, never mind Vettel?

Elon hangs on to defeat ETSU, 4-3
Friday, March 26, 2004ELON, N.C. (Mar. 26, 2004) -- East Tennessee State had runners in scoring position with one out in both the eighth and ninth innings, but could not push the tying run across as Elon defeated the Bucs, 4-3, in the opener of a SoCon weekend series Friday afternoon from Latham Park in Elon, N.C. The Phoenix (12-15, 7-3 Southern Conference) got on the board first, scoring a run in the bottom of the first. Phoenix center fielder Evan Tartaglia reached on a fielder's choice with one out then scored on a two-out double by designated hitter Chris Price. Elon extended their lead to 3-0 with single runs in the fourth and fifth innings. With one out in the fourth, third baseman Evan Erickson hit a solo homer over the right field wall. The Phoenix manufactured a run in the fifth, as Tartaglia led off the inning with a single, moved to second on a ground out by first baseman Drew Davis and advanced to third on a fly out by Price. He then crossed the plate on a single up the middle by right fielder Grant Rembert. ETSU (12-15, 3-7 SoCon) tied the game by playing longball in the top of the sixth. Sophomore right fielder Shane Byrne (Johnson City, Tenn.) led off the frame with a home run over the right-center field wall. Junior catcher Caleb Moore (Knoxville, Tenn.) followed with a double, and was on base as sophomore first baseman Blake Church (Roswell, Ga.) hit a two-run homer to left. But Elon fought right back, breaking the tie with a single run in the bottom of the sixth. Shortstop Paul Bennett began a two-out rally by walking and stealing second. Second baseman Gary Morris then singled up the middle to bring home Bennett with the eventual winning run. In the top of the eighth, Church hit a one-out single and advanced to second on a wild pitch. But Elon reliever Matt Chastain got the next two ETSU batters to ground out to end the inning. Sophomore designated hitter Steven Calicutt (Spartanburg, S.C.) led off the ninth with a single, and moved to second on a sacrifice bunt by sophomore third baseman Greg Roberts (Douglas, Ga.). But Chastain stepped up again, getting the final two outs on ground outs to short. Matt Garner (3-2) earned the win for Elon, going the first six innings and allowing three runs on six hits. He also struck out five while walking one. Chastain got his first save of the year, pitching the final three innings and giving up two hits and striking out one. Buccaneer sophomore righty Jeremy Hall (Gray, Tenn.) pitched well but was charged with the loss (4-4). Hall scattered 11 hits over seven innings while walking three and striking out two. The Bucs were led at the plate by Moore and Church, who both went 3-for-4 this afternoon. Morris, Davis and left fielder Tyler Stevens paced the Phoenix with two hits. ETSU and Elon return to the diamond Saturday afternoon at 1:30 p.m. for game two of their three-game series from Latham Park in Elon, N.C.

Memphis in May salutes Belgium, "the essence of Europe," in 2011.
The Memphis in May delegation gathered in Brussels, Belgium on Sunday, March 27. Upon their arrival at their hotel, the group was greeted by Enis, one of their guides for their eight day cultural tour.
This formal garden in Brussels, known as the Place du Petit Sablon, was laid out in 1890. The centerpiece is a fountain that commemorates Count Edmont and Count Hornes, and there are 12 statues of 15th and 16th century figures, such as the Renaissance artist Bernard van Orley.
A La Becasse, a traditional pub that opened in 1877, is probably the oldest one in downtown Brussels.
The interior of A la Becasse allows visitors a glimpse at what a traditional pub in Brussels was like more than 100 years ago. Waiters dress in traditional monastic-style costumes and serve a local speciality, zoete lambik (Sweet Lambic), in ceramic pitchers.
This tiny statue if a little boy, known as Manneken-Pis, has become a symbol of Brussels. During the Memphis in May delegation's visit to Belgium, the statue was dressed in a copy of the costume that Elvis wore in "Aloha from Hawaii." The ensemble is only worn on Aug. 16, to honor the day Elvis died, but special permission was granted to dress him for the benefit of the visiting guests from Memphis.
The iconic statue of Brussels, Manneken-Pis, has quite a collection of costumes to commemorate occasions throughout the year.
Egmont Palace is a facility that is at the center of diplomatic activity in Brussels. The palace serves as a meeting place for governmental meetings and conferences.
Vendors sell Belgian waffles from food trucks on city streets the same way ice cream trucks make their rounds through neighborhoods in Memphis.
Belgian waffles are similar to those served in America, but slightly larger, with deeper squares, or pockets. The big difference is how they are served.
In the evenings, patrons enjoy dining alfresco at the sidewalk cafes in Brussels.
The Curtius Museum in Liege brings together the contents of several museums to create one of Europe's best centers for the decorative arts. The building itself was built in the late 16th century, in the Renaissance style.
Napoleon Bonaparte made official visits in Liege in 1803 and 1811. At that time, he gathered pieces of furniture, porcelain, weapons, jewelry and other items and made them available to the city. In this portrait of Napoleon, the city of Liege can be seen through the window in the painting.
This architectural fragment is one of many treasures showcased in the decorative arts collection at the Curtius Museum in Liege.
This cross is one of the many religious treasures housed in the Grand Curtius Museum in Liege.
This religious relic, on display at the Curtius Museum, is said to contain wood from the crucifixion cross of Jesus Christ. Look at the center of relic to see the cross formed by four small pieces of wood.
Members of the Memphis in May delegation made a day trip to Antwerp. This picturesque 16 th century style of architecture is prevalent throughout the city.
Tourists board boats like this for a tour of the Port of Antwerp.
In Belgium, chocolate shops can be found in almost every major shopping venue and town center, sometimes two or three in the same block. And most will offer one sample for free, just to seal the deal.
The Cathedral of Our Lady (Onze-Lieve-Vrouwekathedral) in Antwerp is a masterpiece of Gothic architecture that was begun in 1352.
The Cathedral of Our Lady (Onze-Lieve-Vrouwekathedral) in Antwerp houses several magnificent altarpieces by Flemish artist Peter Paul Rubens, like this triptych titled "The Elevation of the Cross."
The Belfort (Belfry) of Ghent has one of the most impressive towers in Belgium. Its construction was started in 1313 and the Belfort served as an important warning system. In case of fire or attack, the tower keepers sent out a warning by chiming the bells. Visitors are able to climb to the top for a bird's-eye view of the city.
The present site of St. Bavo's Cathedral, in Ghent, is on the site where a wooden church was constructed in 942 and dedicated to St. John.
In the 19th century, the city of Ghent became a major industrial center. The pollution coated the city's antique buildings with layers of grim. As a result, in the 1980s, Ghent initiated a restoration program. Visitors today can clearly see the intricately carved stonework of its churches and buildings.
The intricately-carved marble and oak pulpit by Laurent Delvaux (c. 1745) is no longer in use, but the allegorically-themed design still draws crowds of onlookers daily.
The huge Romanesque crypt, beneath St. Bavo's Cathedral, includes remains from the 12th century Church of St. John. The chapels have painted altarpieces and glass cases display a wealth of religious treasures.
In the Romanesque crypt of St. Bavo's cathedral, faded frescoes can be seen on many of the arches.
The historic market square of Bruges is lined with centuries-old, step-gabled houses that flank the market space. A market has been held on this site since the 10th century and continues weekly, every Wednesday.
Bruges originated as a 9th century fortress. The city is often called "The Venice of the North" due to its picturesque canals that wind their way throughout the center of the city.
Medieval buildings flank the canals of Bruges.
In Bruges, many homes flanking the canals have small patios with small container gardens and potted flowers.
Meandering canals wind their way throughout the city of Bruges.
In Bruges, the St. John's Hospital, purported to be one of the oldest in Europe, was closed as a hospital in 1976 and now houses the Memling Museum. Visitors can view great works of art, as well as tour the old hospital infirmary and pharmacy to get a feel for what life was like in a medieval hospital ward.
Lace Makers, mostly women, still craft lace by hand. Visitors can watch them as they work at the Lace Museum in Bruges.
Lacemaking skills are kept alive at the Kantcentrum, the Lace Center, where lace workers have plied their trade for centuries. For the bobbin lace technique, lace makers use patterns to make intricate designs using threads attached to bobbins that are woven around pins embedded in the pattern.
Lace has always been a luxury product, owing to its hand-made, labor-intensive process. For the bobbin lace technique lace makers use patterns, like this one showing a horse design, to make intricate designs using threads attached to bobbins that are woven around pins embedded in the pattern.
The lace border of this placemat was made using the traditional bobbin-lace technique. When in use, the small wooden bobbins (laying on the placemat) each have a piece of thread wound around them. For all of its intricate appearance, lace is made by using only two different movements to manipulate the bobbins; the twist and the cross.
In addition to bobbin lace, needle lace is also made in Bruges. This lace maker holds up one of her finished designs.
Shop owner Anja Ingelbrecht, a fourth-generation lace maker, demonstrates the bobbin lace technique. In the past, many of the lace makers were women who worked at home, receiving raw materials from suppliers who also bought the finished products.
Belgium makes more beers than any other country in the world (almost 800 different ones) and the "Beer Wall" in Bruges displays them all.
The city of Bruges originated as a 9th century fortress built to defend against the Vikings. While walking the cobblestone lanes of the city, the MIM delegation noticed several medieval houses, offering an architectural contrast to the elegant 18th century mansions prevalent in the city.
The 2011 Memphis in May International Festival poster honoring Belgium is 'Lovely Belgium" by Tim Crowder.

Ana has withdrawn from the Open GDF Suez in Paris due to a left hip strain she suffered at the Australian Open. The 26-year-old was due to make her debut at the event, which takes place during 27 January-2 February.
"I'm really disappointed that I have to pull out of the Open GDF Suez in Paris," said Ana. "This has been my best start to a season for a long time. My confidence is high and I was excited to go there and try to challenge for the title.
"Unfortunately I've had some issues with both my hips this past month and I strained my left hip during the Aussie Open. I'm going to have to rest for a short time, in order to get healthy again.
"I am sorry to the supporters who were hoping to see me in Paris. I hope to see you soon. I know that the Paris field is very strong this year and I'm sure it will be a great event."
Ana expects to be fit in time for the Qatar Total Open in Doha, which begins on Monday 10 February.

Gardeners play key role in stopping invasive plants
The scary feature of invasive plants is their ability to compete above and below the ground and outgrow surrounding plants. The concern, Master Gardener Joe Ann Allen writes, is that invasive plants can over power native species and cause soil erosion, create fire hazards, deprive animal and insect life of food and shelter and have a negative impact on fisheries, recreational areas and public water supplies.
A good example of this negative effect is the spread of the beautifully flowered purple loosestrife. One mature plant can produce more than 2 million seeds, all with a high germination rate. It is estimated that more than 4 million acres are now affected by purple loosestrife's escape from the garden and it is costing an estimated $45 million dollars annually in control efforts.

Step 1: Acquire Materials
- 1 1/2" schedule 40 iron pipe: Available at plumbing/hardware stores. Rather heavy. You can buy 10' lengths and then cut it yourself. Note that 1 1/2" pipe is not actually 1 1/2" in diameter. Its really closer to 1 7/8"!
- Hacksaw/pipecutter/chopsaw: For cutting the pipe down
- Couplers: You can buy these from mcmaster carr, they are used to build railings. They are sometimes called "speed rail" or "speedrail". Search the online mcmaster.com for "speedrail" and order the couplers you want. I got mine for free and they were all of the "4 outlet crossover" kind so I used only those but theres more suitable configurations.
- Allen wrench: for opening & closing the couplers
- Plastic pipe-end covers: get these at the place with the pipe, they protect your floor
- 1x8 wood panels for making the slats, and 2x4's for holding the slats together
Looked up the price.
Apparently the 1" crossover fittings are about 11 USD each.
One could make a simplified version of this bed using only 8 crossover fittings.
Looked up the price.
Apparently the 1" crossover fittings are about 11 USD each.
One could make a simplified version of this bed using only 8 crossover fittings.
Very good design!
Because you used only a single type of pipe fitting, the "crossover." This has at least three advantages.
1. It simplifies the process of ordering the parts. No need to sit there and figure out that you need "x" number of this part and "y" number of that part and "z" number of that other part.
2. Having the pipes crossover makes the pipe length much less critical. You can even cut them slightly longer, then adjust them until they are the proper length for your mattress, allowing the ends to overhang slightly. Just so long as you cap them so that you don't get scraped by the raw ends.
3. If you decide to get a different size mattress one day, you can buy new pipe and reuse the exact same fittings.
If I decide to do a DIY pipe bed frame, this is the one I will go by!
I crate steel bed too :) On my site (http://adam-off.ru/krovat.html)
I'm going to make one of these soon and want to know if I can get the smaller lighter pipes. I was thinking about splitting the long beams and dropping a support down on both sides also.
Will the rather small feet, and the (I'm assuming) weight of the bed (plus occupants) cause any damage to floors? I'm getting an apartment in Chicago, which tend to have poorly built wooden floors.
If not, you can put some tennis balls over the plastic caps. Or glue some fleece or heavy cloth onto the caps.
If you decide to follow my last suggestion - softer material like some 3mm or 6mm plastic or hardpaper should be a good idea. Then leave the plastic caps off and briefly use a hole cutter to cut a groove into the sheet into which the pipe will lock and thus stay centered.
And if the floors are really bad (i.e. made of hardpaper with a thin veneer), expect to replace them after a couple of years of normal use anyway.
what i meant is, if you could find a bed for less than $100, that would be really awesome, and i'm sure i wouldn't be the only one who would love to know where!
again, sorry! i really didn't mean it that way
Actually, Walmart and quite a few other places sell bed frames for that cheap. Even Ikea has one or two. You'd be surprised! I still like this idea though. It looks very "green". :)
Nice instructable.
