Notre Dame's investigation into the hoax involving Manti Te'o and his fake girlfriend has prompted a closer look into some other well-known Notre Dame stories.
Turns out, Knute Rockne's famous phrase was the less-inspiring "Try not to stink it up for the Gipper," Lou Holtz and the Fighting Irish leprechaun mascot were, in fact, the same person and Charlie Weis was actually a Chicago-area plumber named Chuck Smith.
Te'o and his parents have agreed to be on Katie Couric's syndicated daytime talk show for their first live interview since the hoax became public. You know what that means: Oprah's ticked.
You can't print that
Baltimore Ravens linebacker Terrell Suggs yelled that the New England Patriots were "arrogant (expletives)" after the Ravens knocked them out of the playoffs.
That must have stung the Pats, coming from the wallflower, low-key, rarely talkative Ravens defense.
Oh, brother
Did you hear two brothers, John and Jim Harbaugh, will be coaching against each other in the Super Bowl? If not, it is expected to be mentioned 4,374,341 times in the next two weeks.
The buck doesn't stop here
A candidate for the New York Jets general manager job said owner Woody Johnson told him Tim Tebow was "forced" on Johnson and president Neil Glat.
So, when a team has a completely lousy season but blames it on the backup quarterback, it's an alternative definition for Tebowing.
Wrigley feeling Sosa again?
Chicago Cubs owner Tom Ricketts said he may be open to reaching out to retired slugger Sammy Sosa, who left the team on bad terms in 2004. If they fix the relationship, Sosa could be an honored guest the next time the Cubs play in the World Series, providing he's still healthy at age 113.
There is a free lunch
New York Knicks forward Amar'e Stoudemire bought lunch for 600 Madison Square Garden workers Monday before the Knicks game with the Brooklyn Nets. If he doesn't watch it, he's going to spoil the image of the self-centered superstar athlete for everyone.
Power to the people
NASCAR fans will vote on the length of the race, pit stops and how many cars will be eliminated after the second segment of the exhibition Sprint Unlimited season kickoff at Daytona International Speedway.
Many feel this is the first step toward new empowerment for NASCAR fans that won't stop until they reach their ultimate goal of voting Dale Earnhardt Jr. the winner of every race.

Perception, reaction & mindfulness
Codie Surratt, PsychCentral: I am frequently asked "What is mindfulness?"
I start by saying something poignant like "It's being aware and in the present moment" or "It's about allowing each experience to wash over us like a cool spring rain, without attachment or judgments." I love these answers and they generally tend to spawn a lively conversation about experiences, judgment and simply allowing ourselves to be present.
Mindfulness, though, is also about perception and reaction. Here's what I mean…
I love Viktor Frankl, the Austrian neurologist and psychiatrist who survived a World War II concentration camp. He is a genuine hero of mine…

Grants & Funding
Quick Links
AIEO manages the Indian Environmental General Assistance Program (GAP). The GAP provides grant funding to federally-recognized tribes and intertribal consortia through a negotiated process administered by each EPA Region. The grant funds may be used by tribes to plan and carry out a number of environmental capacity-building activities.
AIEO also promotes the use of Direct Implementation Tribal Cooperative Agreements (DITCAs). DITCAs is a funding authority enabling EPA to award funds to federally-recognized tribe and qualified intertribal consortia to carry out agreed upon activities to assist EPA with the implementation of federal environmental programs. Further information is found below.
- Indian Environmental General Assistance Program (GAP) - A grant program for federally-recognized tribes and tribal consortia to plan, develop, and establish environmental protection programs in Indian country, as well as to develop and implement solid and hazardous waste programs on tribal lands.
- Direct Implementation Tribal Cooperative Agreements (DITCAs) - Allow tribes and intertribal consortia to help EPA implement federal environmental programs in Indian country. While they rely on existing program funding sources, DITCAs are negotiated between EPA and tribes and can help tribes build the capacity to carry out specific activities for EPA, with EPA retaining final decision-making authority and ultimate responsibility for the environmental programs, including all regulatory activities.

Essential Oil Diffusers
Practical and effective, these versatile tools are used to diffuse the healing properties of aromatic essential oils into the air around us. With several styles to choose from, we offer the perfect diffuser suited for your needs.
AromaMist Ultrasonic Diffuser
Create a tranquil fragrant environment in any room with this simple to use ultrasonic diffuser. The AromaMist diffuser uses half a cup of tap or bottled water and a few drops of your favorite essential oil to create a continuous fragrant mist for up to three hours. This nearly silent unit has a built-in shut off for when the water level gets low. This pearl white diffuser also has an optional light setting that glows in blue, pink, or a revolving rainbow of colors.
Ceramic Diffuser Black
These beautiful one-piece aroma diffusers are handcrafted in California from durable stoneware ceramic and are 100% lead free. The perfect vessel for diffusing your favorite essential oil or blend. The matte black glaze and ambiance created from the candle light make this diffuser great for any decor. Tea candle not included.
Electric Aromatherapy Diffuser
For those of you not wanting to burn tea lights to produce the radiant scents of pure essential oils, this aroma emitting device is a must have. Not only economical and practical, but this fabulous device has all the elements of modern design. Light weight, portable and completely silent!
Proper use of a nebulizing diffuser is the professional's choice for inhaling, absorbing, and utilizing the healing properties of essential oils. A nebulizer processes essential oils into a near gas-like state, releasing atomized microscopic oil particles into the air, thus making the oil more readily absorbed by the body and senses.
Soapstone Diffuser, Leaf
This elegant one-piece essential oil diffuser is made of pure hand carved black soapstone, and features a striking leaf and twig pattern that swirls around the piece. This small sleek design easily compliments any bedroom, desktop, or bathroom. Because of their handcrafted nature patterns will slightly vary between diffusers; making each piece truly unique!
Tea Lights, Beeswax
- 6 pack
These delightful little tea lights are made by our friends at Casper Candle Company in Eugene, Oregon and they come packaged in a 100% biodegradable cello bag. Popularly used on our line of oil burners and diffusers, these tea lights are a great paraffin free alternative and have 100% cotton wicking.
Tea Lights, Soy
- 4 pack
New pack size!! The great folks at Way Out Wax have developed the ubiquitous and popularly used tea light using natural Soy based wax which is 100% vegetable based. This is a great alternative for many of us who prefer not to burn conventional paraffin tea lights which contain petroleum based inputs. These tea lights are unscented, have lead free wicking, and are housed in a plastic cup.
Terra Cotta Pendant Diffuser
This charming diffuser pendant is handcrafted of pure terra cotta, which is known for its absorbent and porous properties. It literally holds scents for weeks and makes a convenient "scent drop" that can be left in the car, bathroom, bedroom, closet, or office. It is one of the most practical aroma devices that we have and you only need to add a few drops of your favorite essential oils.
Choose from Flower, Spiral, or Fern design

I was walking in Wal*Mart one evening and went past the pet asile. I picked up some inexpensive aquarium supplies with the intent of putting together my plant watering system. I also went to the hardware asile and picked up a 24 hour light timer. In the end I had to go to a pet specalist store to get the valves that I needed to get it to work.
Here is my supply list
25' Airline Tubing ($2)
4 Gallon Bucket ($2)
Aquarium air pump ($10) - I got a dual line mode, beefier the better (not pictured in the instructable)
24 hour timer ($4) - Originally I used a 1 hour timer, but I found a 30 minute timer that worked better
Lee's Airline Control Kit ($4) - Cat no. 14103 - This is the perfect set for this project - it contains 4 Tee junctions and 5 valves. The valves are inline and all plastic.
Check Valve (Free) - This should come with your pump and is very important for safety (not shown in pictures)
Step 1: Prepare the junction and valve
Then take the tee junction and press the valve body on to the perpendicular part of the tee.
If you have a different type of junction or inline vavle you made need to fashion a small length of hose to join the tee and the valve - it'll work just fine.
Hi! Seems the water doesn't go through the tube.. even with this kit.
Can you help?
Hi! I'm wondering, watering plant once a week?... do you feed the plant when it's dry all the time?
thank you!
I would use this to water your plant automatically when you are on vacation.
I would use it to water my button mushrooms but they need to be sprayed.
Not sure if I need more water or more air power.
A simple, reliable, one pump and one timer, automatic watering system can be constructed with the items already mentioned above. The 1-minute interval timer sold by Harbor Freight Tools will allow a minimum on-off cycle of one minute. The 66 gph pump sold by Harbor Freight Tools has a grey, sliding, intake regulator/valve which can be positioned to reduce the pump output. With the regulator valve at full open, the pump expells 1.1 gallons of fluid per minute. At the minimal pump regulator valve setting, it pumps 3 cups of fluid per minute. For a single plant set-up, you would use the minimal pump regulator setting. If 3 cups of fluid is still too much fluid, you can reduce the output as follows: Insert a plastic 1/4" T-valve (T) in the pump output line at least an inch or more above the tank water-line. This will split the minimal setting output into two, 1 1/2 cup per minute streams. Cut and attach a short 1 1/2 inch section of 1/4" hose to each end of the T-valve. Next, position a screw-top, plastic air control valve (CV) to the free end of each of these hose sections. Your assembly will look like this ---CV---T---CV---. You can now manipulate the flow through each control valve. With one valve almost totally open and the other almost totally closed, you can limit the slowest flow to about 3/4 cup per minute. (Most any plant pot can handle this amount of water inflowing over a 1 minute time period.) Connect this slowest flow output via the appropriate plastic tube to the plant container. The maximum flow stream is then positioned so that it spills back into your reservoir. A bit of trial and error manipulation of the control-valves (CV) will provide you with the amount of water that you want your plant to receive. The rest of the output goes back into the tank and is conserved for use during future watering cycles. There are only two caveats that you must keep in mind and address. One is that the maximum flow output spout going back into the reservoir must NOT be positioned below the water-line of the reservoir. If it is, a siphoning connection will be created from the reservoir to the plant thus emptying the reservoir onto the plant while the timer is off. The second caveat is that you should keep the flow distribution assembly positioned over the reservoir. A suction cup holder or a binder clip can provide support for this positioning. This positioning is needed because the control-valves (CV) will emit an occasional drop of water out of the top stem. These drops will fall harmlessly back into the tank if you keep the assembly over the reservoir. You can expand this set-up to water multiple plants by the addition of a series of in-line control valves (CV) and the proper manipulation of the pump intake regulator, the control-valve outputs, and the timer on-off times. If you want to keep the amount of water sent to multiple plants equal, you must shoot for approximately equal tube lengths to each plant. Moreover, you must assure that the discharge port of each tube at the plants is of an equal height above the floor. Use plastic or bamboo stakes for this height adjustment. Unequal discharge positions and/or tube lengths will unbalance the equal flow pattern. With a minimum of trial and error this system works very well with one timer, one pump, and one reservoir for single and multiple plant set-ups. It can be constructed from off-the shelf, retail components for less than $30 total. Most of the components go on sale from time to time for even greater economy. (Note: An alternate 11-piece TOP FIN air-flow connection kit is available at Pet Smart for $3.50. It contains 5 air control valves (CV), 4 T-valves (T), and 2 suction cups.) Lastly, liquid plant fertilizer can be added to this system if you take precautions to prevent algae growth that can clog the pump. This algae growth prevention can be accomplished by enclosing your tank in a black plastic bag or surrounding it with aluminum foil. No light, no algae. My thanks go out to all who worked on this project. My improvements are simply extensions of the excellent work already presented by previous contributors.
I think I will try it!

Get answers about Brooklyn from local experts or tell us what you love about it.
What are some quiet neighborhoods in Brooklyn?
Marine Park in Brooklyn is one of the quietest areas even though it's very friendly and neighbors talk to each other over the back fence. Brooklyn Heights is pretty quiet too even though it looks across at Lower Manhattan. It's mostly low rise little row houses so it has a neighborhood feel to it too.
What neighborhoods in Brooklyn are good for eating out?
All thirty of Brooklyn's neighborhoods have some great places for eating, but my two favorites are Park Slope and Brooklyn Heights. Both have a good vibe. A lot of places are doing organic, but the best one is Ziggy's. Really amazing and one of the best iPod music selections anywhere!
what subways serve the columbia street waterfront district
Subway lines 2,3,4,5,F,G,N,R, A,C serve Columbia street Waterfront District.
What would an ideal weekend be like in Brooklyn?
An ideal weekend in Brooklyn involves taking in the sights of this culture-rich New York City borough. Take a stroll across the Brooklyn Bridge and soak up the breathtaking views of Manhattan, Brooklyn, and the Statue of Liberty. Visit the Brooklyn Museum, the second largest art museum in New York City, and check out the magnificent Brooklyn Botanical Gardens. Don't forget to walk over to Prospect Park where you can spend time at the zoo, the Audubon center, or possibly enjoy an outdoor concert during the summer months. Catch the sunset from the Brooklyn Heights Promenade with a clear view of the Manhattan skyline, and then wind down the day with a tour and tasting over at the internationally renowned Brooklyn Brewery.
How is the nightlife in Brooklyn?
Brooklyn has an excellent after-dark scene. It differs, however, depending on which neighborhood you're in. Downtown Brooklyn has most of the tourists and a great view of the Manhattan skyline, Williamsburg is more bohemian, Prospect Park is more moneyed, and Gowanus and Red Hook are artististic communities. The Williamsburg bar scene has places like AKA potion, Barcade, and Goodbye Blue Monday, named after a Kurt Vonnegut novel.
Is Brooklyn a good place for younger people?
Yes, Brooklyn is a great place for younger people. First of all, plenty of other young people live in Brooklyn, so there is no shortage of social options. It's also a lot cheaper than Manhattan, and you tend to get more space for your money, apartment-wise. As far as nightlife is concerned, it does depend on the neighborhood, but generally there are countless bars and music venues, as well as a burgeoning restaurant scene for all budgets. The arts are also a very big part of Brookyln, with many galleries hosting shows. For those without cars, Brookyln also boasts an excellent public transportation system.
any short let- like one week?

What project would you propose to change the world?
What would you do to make the world peaceful, populations sustainable? If you had no limits of money, time, or people you could involve--what would you do to convince people to reduce energy consumption, respect nature, and so on?
May 31 2012: End the world wide monetary system.
Things don't cost money. They cost people, since you say I would have no limits on people, then everyone could be part of creating, producing, helping and receiving. Money is not actually needed. It only creates crime, greed, inequality, poverty, slavery, war and death.
Engage the entire world in cleaning up the oceans' garbage islands as well as all the waste, litter and garbage in the world.
Treat people with respect, first with the fact that the world's resources belong to all and all have a right to their fair share in order to live, so the needs that are basic to all, first have to be available and given freely to all. Eliminate the fear of lack, the pain of starvation and the ills many suffer simply because so many think they have to exist because, well, they just have to. All of it should be 100% unacceptable but to many, they are tolerable and that is horrible.
Get rid of almost all government as it is, along with politicians. Both are irrelevant to the lives and problems of the world. In fact they create them solely to profit from them. People don't want government to give "it" to us, but it isn't theirs. It's the world's and we give it to ourselves, because we all are the ones who do the work, freely or for slave wages.
Get rid of countries, laws, politicians and start anew with a basis in "how we make decisions" not who makes them.
We are all dependent upon one another and most people in the world simply want to live free, in peace and anything that divides us is used to divide us, so we have to eliminate those things that create crime, greed and so on. That starts with money.
Get rid of religion. It has failed in providing a moral context in which to live. Science has not done this either, since they have had ample opportunity over decades, but have not stepped up.
How we treat one another, and how we treat other life, is more important than trying to legislate morality.
Ben Woodhead
Jun 9 2012: We need to change our view on power generation. Power companies are concerned with power density because it saves them money. Fossil fuels and nuclear power are great for that. They consume limited space and produce a lot of power.
- +2
Renewable power such as wind or solar are would be far better if they were used in a distributed fashion. You could cover a significant amount of a city if you considered every house or building as part of your generation network.
It would be silly to treat nuclear power as a distributed source by putting nuclear plants in everybodies house and it would be equally silly to treat renewable power as a dense source.
We have the space if we start viewing rooftops as part of the power generation network instead of just consumption.
Zdenek Smith
May 31 2012: I believe that the most important things that people need and that will solve automatically all other problems in good education and continuous learning.

Through education people can beter understand ethics, society, relationships, happiness and pursue their interests as a job. Education is proven to lower birth rates, help to grow economy and limit conflicts.

May 31 2012: With unlimited money I could:1) get rid of all usury-based systems. 2) re-establish an agrarian societal model where children will live, work, grow, learning from their biological Mother and their biological Father who are married to one another and live together on their own free and clear, non-taxed property. 3) Demolish all population centers larger than 6000 residents. 4) establish non-automated villages having no oil-based transportation or industry. 4) Legal, medical and schooling provided as needed locally and funded by a Resident Fee. 5) distribute resident produced goods and services in a central village market based on a currency-free barter model. 6) social order maintained in accordance with a single, literally interpreted document or Constitution. 7) enforcement of one, inviolate rule of social conduct: Do nothing intentionally detrimental to the freedom and well-being of another. When do we start?
- +2
Jun 2 2012: Where do we start? I like the idea of Earth Ships. Which takes your idea a step further freeing everyone to work on their own land, child rearing, livestock, farm, industry whatever. It's Habitat for Humanity on steroids!
Jun 2 2012: Oh! I thought you had access to unlimited money, time and people. Call me when ready. ;--D
Jun 4 2012: Brain storming is free! Besides, I asked what would you do if your resources were not limited I didn't say mine were unlimited!
My daughter got married last May. That day her new husband went to the emergency room and within 6 weeks was diagnosed wityh stage III colon cancer. He was 37. He dided less than 6 months later.
If I could do anything it would be to build a small Earthship for my daughter so she wouldn't have to work so hard or worry so much about her future or that of my little grand son.Jun 5 2012: I am sorry Joy. Please understand that I was not serious about you funding my silly musings. I beg your forgiveness and offer this QUOTE: "It is only from the belief of the goodness and wisdom of a supreme being, that our calamities can be born in the manner which becomes us."-- Henry Mackenzie.
Jun 6 2012: No worries. I wanted you and any one else who is reading to understand where I'm coming from. It's great to brain storm. And for now that is just about all anyone has left!
I think it's interesting that H. Mackenzie says "THE manner" I wonder what he meant by that?
I get the supreme being, higher power thing. I'm not sure I believe it at this point. The way I see it is that whether people believe it or not is irrelevant. What matters is that people join together in institutions that are free from government interference and religion is the only place our constitution guarantees that church and state be separate. The state of our religious organizations today makes that possibility hard to stomach!
edward long
Jun 6 2012: Oh well Joy, even though the quote does not fit your lifestyle I'm sure you can see how it is relevant and comforting to some. You are correct about the irrelevance of matters of faith in the socio-political arena. The only time one's belief is relevant is when there is just you and God.
- +1
Amen to the state of churches etc. in today's world. Do not depend on churches to reveal truth. But do seek truth. Thanks for the opportunity to brainstorm. I think Mr. Mackenzie chose the article "the" as a reference to the plurality of choices we have regarding how we will bear hardship. Consider writing a closing statement when your post closes. The results will surely have value. Peace to you and yours.--EdwardJun 3 2012: "Do nothing intentionally detrimental to the freedom and well-being of another."
I LOVE that statement!!!! My 6th grade teacher used to say something similar: "Your rights stop, where it infringes on the rights of others". This has stuck with me for 30 years or more now.

Jun 2 2012: So far I'm hearing Spirituality/science, grow food for everyone, get rid of cars and superfluous industry. How would such an enterprise be governed? And who would govern or set it up in the first place? Can the internet be used to create world consensus? Action?May 31 2012: Human being being does everything in life for one of its most basic need , i.e, FOOD. Thus by providing good and quality food to everyone in an organic and eco friendly way would be all that could lead to a peaceful world.May 31 2012: "Project Spiritual Awakening" through science and traditional approach, by:
- +1
- combining science to improve our ability to control traditional process (to maintain our sense of humanity) easily , interactively, deeper and deeper, easier and easier, to create self awareness and know our unique purpose in our life and even more widening our awareness
- strictly just for the extension of our body's ability, so we can see better, we can access hidden database easily, and many more, but without obligation for widening awareness.
It releases our own possibilities to create self awareness and our unique purposes in our life, and to improve our control through spiritual energy. It direct us to be able to control things easier and better adjustment on social life. Hopefully these lead us to a peaceful society wider than before.
Less or more ...May 30 2012: Abolish compound interest Banking. Due to this principle of banking ie. placing a time value on money, greed as we know it sets in. Every person does not want their wealth to loose value therefore they have to plough it faster and faster into the economy to henge any effects of it loosing value. AND herein in lies the root of all the problems and rot besetting the world. Businesses plunder the earth resources just to hedge their nett value loosing.Jun 13 2012: If I had no limits of money, time or people I could involve, I would implement (engineer and market) Economic Development 4.0 (ED4). Economic Development 4.0 outlines a strategy which applies the lessons of social networking and 2 billion people connected to the internet to move beyond social participation (2.0) to national collaboration (3.0) and international integration (4.0). The UN has called for revolutionary change to deliver this in ten years, rather than 100 years. If constraints were removed, I would build the underlying networks of ED4 in 180 days and then market (or populate) them over the next 180 days. I have a passion for applying the principles of social networking to social, industry and political endeavours. I have established the Open Networks Institute as a forum for likeminded people to pursue this outcome.
Economic Development 4.0 is how the world works after applying Web 3.0 (or Facebook) networks to social, industrial and political endeavours. Web 3.0 person to person networks overcome the design limitations of Web 1.0 hierarchies to deliver global transparency, meritocracy, productivity, accessibility and better decision making
We can create the Web 3.0 networks on the Critical Path to Economic Development 4.0. We will need the world's entrepreneurs, philanthropists and statesmen to engineer and inspire their use
One global Web 4.0 network can replace local Web 1.0 hierarchies. Examples include Democracy 3.0, fueling the growth of SME's with Equity Market 3.0, Climate Stability 3.0, UNITED (International Governance 4.0) and Health Industry 3.0 plus patient health record.
Other potential Web 4.0 networks include Education, Resources, Food, Energy and Oil. Peace may be an outcome of UNITED (International Governance 4.0), Democracy 3.0, Education 3.0, and Equity Market 3.0.
Additional information and a 70+ slide presentation is available at http://www.opennetworksinstitute.org/economic-development .Jun 11 2012: Changing this post for clarity:
The biggest thing we could do is use money or resources to eliminate the need for money and resources when it comes to betterment for people, societies, and humanity.
Why does one person have a billion dollars and a billion people have nothing? What does it mean for a country to owe trillions? The numbers are so staggering that the lose meaning.
The economy is an enabler for greed, hoarding, and those things are excuses people give to hurt each other either through withholding things from our fellow humans, or by using it against them.
It's time we wake up, develop a system of 'Human Management' where people are ALL treated equal regardless of the 'unfortunate' circumstances they're in. There would be no such thing as an unfortunate person if we all reached out our hands to one another... we'd all be in the same boat (earth), with the same worries (perpetuating the race safely and managing our planet).
Eliminate money or enforce wealth limitations to remove the enabler to deter hoarders of wealth and power from standing on the backs of many. When wealth is acquired above the limitation, it's placed with a committee who puts it to use for society. Open the world to manage our needs as a society, not as a collection of individuals whose personal aims come before even basic human rights of others.Jun 10 2012: I recall an episode of The West Wing, in which C J Craig is offered the chance to manage a foundation of X billion dollars and she's asked what her first project would be. I believe she said something about paved roads throughout Africa. I've often wondered about that idea and imagined the consequences, for good and ill, that would result. It would certainly alter the world as we know it along many dimensions - economic, explorative, political, environmental and so on.Jun 9 2012: The laugh heard round the world. Create a non verbal 30 second animated joke that is easy to understand and evokes reflection. Release the video at noon on 12/21/12 and promote heavily worldwide to create an urgency in the one time exclusive viewership of a one of kind, unique piece. If successful, the entire world will laugh at the exact same moment and in doing so shake free from the last fragments of negativity that cling to us. This will in theory free our minds to only think positively and stress, worry, anger, hate will be emotions that the human race evolves from. Why the doomsday date? If certain astrological prophecies deem accurate and there is a cosmic gravitational pull lifting on us, it will lift the 4 evil emotions away from us forever. a Hybrid of fantasy, theory, speculation, faith and science. Hold on to your hats, it's the laugh heard 'round the world.Jun 8 2012: First, I would not convince people to reduce energy consumption. I would provide them with lots of cheap, sustainable, eco-friendly energy.
Second, I would provide everyone with the ability to connect with TED.Jun 6 2012: My first grade teacher had a poster in her room that stuck with me: "A gum chewing student and a cud chewing cow are somewhat alike yet different somehow. I've often wondered why and I know now! It's the intelligent look on the face of the cow!" Hahahahahahah!
I don't think that (very libertarian) statement goes far enough. It needs to include something about how a society is characterized by the way it treats the least among them.
If the first oath is: First do no harm--what is the second oath?Jun 4 2012: Take water from the sea take out the salt put the water on the desert easy.
Cornelius matteyMay 31 2012: Get rid of automobiles - this will save the planet but will never happen.
Jun 10 2012: You will need to provide an alterative to some of us who cannot walk, or bike, or skateboard et al. because of disability.
Jun 10 2012: wheelchairs
Jun 11 2012: How far, and up how many hills and down how many dales are you proposing people in wheelchairs to push themselves, or have others push them? Some of us, too, don't need wheelchairs but cannot walk long distances. Others in wheelchairs are unable to move the chairs themselves and so would be dependent on others for a push, thus reducing their independence. I'm not poo-pooing your idea but I am trying to point out that many, many, many people need automobiles of some description. It would nice if such machines used other forms of fuel, granted, but we do need them or something filling the same niche with at least as much or greater ease and comfort.
In all initiatives, the needs of the most vulnerable (babies, children, the elderly and people with disability) should be considered first, with the needs of all others being secondary, given the latter's ability to adapt, move, manipulate equipment and space with greater facility than can the former.Jun 11 2012: Thank-you for underscoring the point I originally made - it will never happen.

I posted this on the projects forum and havent gotten any hits yet so i thought id post over here too to see if any of you super pro's had some tips or ideas.
Ok guys I'm building a welding trailer from scratch to take to the Ag Mechanics shows at the San Angelo, San Antonio, and Houston livestock shows. I'm here to ask those of you who use your portable rigs(be it truck beds or trailors) what are your favorite features or what is something you wish you had on your rig?
I have already built the frame using 2"x4"x3/16" tubing for the frame rails and used the same 2x4 and 2x2x11ga tubing for crossmembers alternating back and forth every 2 feet. It is 16'x6'4" in size. I plan on having a 3/8'' table that comes up from the floor on a hydraulic. There will be an overhead rack for material and a sheet goods rack on the side. the tool boxes will be custom built to hang out over the tires on each side and have the fenders molded into them and they will have electric trunk latches that will be controled from one box. I have a Bobcat 225 that will go on it and I've incorperated an external Fuel cell that fits under the floor between the frame rails that will hold about 20 gallons of extra fuel. there will ofcourse be an Oxy/Accetyllene set up and all the reels for the welder and torches will be concealed in one tool box. I have plans to incorperate a small Jib crane onto it that will have have maybe an 8 foot reach so that i could pick up something on the opposite side of the trailer, but that is by no means final. I am going to put a detchable vice that will store away and want a source of compressed air for air tools, what do you suggest?
So what am I missing?

I'd add OA hosereels, cable reels, a "rollout wheel" even though it's not a pipeline rig (ag welders do pipe and fittings and would benefit from exposure to that trick, don't forget to put a pretty partially welded workpiece in the chuck!), a mount for a sunshade/umbrella (ag welders and pipeliners both often work outdoors), and don't forget a fire extinguisher.
I'd use an axle whose hubs match either Ford or Chevy truck wheels, then run some attractive aluminum rims. My personal preference would be to take a 14-bolt Chevy rear, cut off the stubs, scrap the "pumpkin" and throw away the rear brakes. Weld a section of pipe where the pumpkin once lived, and you have a tough 8-lug axle whose bearings are available at any auto store.
I just leave the 14-bolt intact on my trailer, but you are doing a show and that would look ghetto.
Bulldog hitch mounts not only let you set hitch height, they let you remove the hitch to deter theft. My trailer has a hunk of pipe where the hitch mounts since it makes a "third leg" and when I need to move it I swap the hitch for the leg.

Ana completed a phenomenal comeback as she recovered from a set and a 5-4 deficit to beat world No.114 Christina McHale 4-6, 7-5, 6-4 in the third round of the US Open in New York. It was far from a polished performance by the 25-year-old but, despite hitting 51 unforced errors during the contest, she showed great determination and fighting spirit to wrap up victory after two hours and 26 minutes.
Ana entered the match holding a 2-0 lead in the head-to-head series but it was McHale who made the better start on Arthur Ashe Stadium. The American took a 3-1 advantage, although Ana had multiple game opportunities in three of those four games.
The 25-year-old was far too erratic during the opening set and she was unable to undo the early break deficit. After Ana had saved two set points in game ten, McHale was successful on the third occasion and clinched the set.
The home crowd favorite quickly enforced a break of serve early in the second set. This time, Ana immediately responded and re-broke her opponent to love, before getting her nose in front for the first time in the match in the following game.
At 4-4, Ana dropped her service game for a third time in the set, which gave the American the opportunity to serve for the match shortly later. The 13th seed now finally showed some aggression in her groundstrokes and confidently attacked the McHale serve, which resulted in a pair of classy return winners. With her back against the wall, she leveled the set at 5-5.
McHale maintained her focus despite failing to serve it out and she wangled two break points in the next game. Crucially, Ana got rid of both and surged into a 6-5 lead. She saw her chance as the American was making more mistakes at this stage of the match and she took advantage, reeling off three games to force the match into a third act.
The decider was quite a different affair compared to both other sets. All service games went with serve until 4-4, although Ana held a break point in the eighth game.
Ana earned two match points in the tenth game and she let out a squeal of delight when McHale's stroke went long, fully aware of the fact it could have turned out very differently.
"I'm very pleased with the effort that I managed to win the match today because it wasn't easy. Obviously I wasn't at the top of my game," said Ana.
"I really struggled to find my feet around the ball in the beginning of the match. But I really tried to swing freely and get myself back into that match.
"I played a great game to break her when she was serving for the match. That kind of gave me confidence. I tried to move forward and be aggressive even when I was making mistakes.
"Then in the third set, I did serve very well. So I was very pleased with that. Just so happy to be through."
Ana will face world No.2 Victoria Azarenka, who beat Alize Cornet 6-7, 6-3, 6-2, in round four on Monday.

Interpretive Handbook
9292 :
Ristocetin Inhibitor Assay Screen, Plasma
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Inhibitors of the von Willebrand factor (VWF) may occur in those patients with severe type 3 von Willebrand's disease (VWD) who have a deletion of a large part of the von Willebrand gene.
Inhibitors may also occur in patients who have no previous evidence of VWD resulting in the development of a form of acquired VWD. Only a few of the patients with acquired VWD have evidence of an inhibitor. Most patients with acquired VWD have some type of B-cell lymphocytic abnormality (hairy cell leukemia, chronic lymphocytic leukemia, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, multiple myeloma, monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance, Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia, and systemic lupus erythematosus). Other patients with acquired VWD may have some form of myeloproliferative disease. Acquired VWD rarely arises in a person who is otherwise healthy.
Most inhibitors of VWF are IgG, but occasionally IgM and IgA have been reported.
Inhibiting antibodies to VWF are measured by determining the degree of inhibition of ristocetin/VWF-induced agglutination of washed normal platelets.
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Diagnosis of inhibitors of von Willebrand factor in patients with severe (type 3) von Willebrand disease (VWD)
Diagnosis of certain acquired types of VWD
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
An interpretive report is issued. Inhibitors may also occur in patients with severe type 3 von Willebrand disease. Unlike the acquired form of the disease, these latter patients will have a history of lifelong recurrent bleeding.
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
The absence of an inhibitor does not exclude the diagnosis of acquired von Willebrand disease. In many patients, no inhibitor is demonstrable, but some of these patients may actually have an antibody which forms antigen-antibody complexes which are rapidly removed in the circulation.
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.
An interpretive report will be provided.

Why Your Vehicle Rusts Away on Maine Roads
It drives us all crazy. You do your best to take care of your car, truck, or SUV and it rusts away long before the engine is ready to give up its life in getting you here and there. Recently, I took my truck in for an inspection and was informed that this was probably the last season for it, as rust will eventually cause the frame to weaken to unsafe levels

This design is intended for those who are willing to keep the litter box near a single-hung window with outer screening and no burglary concerns (i.e. probably not on the ground floor in a neighborhood like mine!). I will be following up this post with another version that couples to a bathroom exhaust vent.
This project is designed to cost less than $35 to make, and uses mostly common, recycled and/or re-purposed and cheap materials. It is also quite doable for someone with limited tools. Perfect for apartment dwellers!
Required Tools
* Hot glue gun and roughly 10 hot glue sticks
* Heavy duty poultry shears or tin snips
* Serrated bread knife
* Serrated tomato knife
* Electric drill
* Standard drill bit index (up to 1/2")
* Permanent marker
Required Materials
* Hooded plastic cat litter box with at least 7"x7" of flat surface on the back end
* 12V 120mm CPU fan (smaller sizes may also work...try recycling one from an old desktop computer). I used this one.
* 12V DC power adapter (500ma). I used this one.
* 2 x plastic food storage containers (25oz, 740ml - 6-3/4" x 6-3/4" x 2-1/4") with lids
* 2 x empty, de-labeled 28oz food cans (I used cans from crushed tomatoes) with both ends removed.
* approx. 10 hot glue sticks
* 5-25' (location dependent) of 4" dryer duct, aluminum or plastic
* electrical tape
* 2 x 16" long zip ties
* 2 small zip ties
* 8" x 36" rectangle of Owens-Corning Foamular(R) 250 or comparable (pink foundation insulation) or 3/4" plywood (if you have a jigsaw or sawzall).
Aweome! Very clever! I need to make this! And get a cat ...
Can I assume that this solution will work with my version of a cat litter box, which is a 30 gallon plastic storage container with lid? I could mount the fan either on the lid or at the end of the container. Looks like attached picture.
What a DIFFERENCE!!! We love it and our cat loves it! Only thing i did different was filled some gaps with Great Stuff. Thanks for a great and easy idea!
my cats just go put the dog door and do their business outdoors. I have a box for them but they never use it unless it rains for several days (which is extremely rare in this part of Texas) and our yard, as well as neighbors yards are well patrolled and kept virtually free of vermin!
Thanks very much for the great design. I followed it closely and am very pleased with the outcome. The project also introduced me to hot glue, which is fantastic. Our litter box is in the basement and the odor was coming up the stairs into our living space, in addition to the unpleasantness of going into the basement. I had to modify the window attachment scheme because of my particular circumstances but I stuck to your general principles. My only comment is that, due to the airflow in our house we might need more fan power to overcome the expected draft when we run our wood stove upstairs in the winter. If necessary I will install a second fan at the window side. What do you think? Again, many thanks for posting. I'm so much happier with the fresh air!
Tiny idea / improvement: When drilling the holes in the back of litter box, take lid off and drill from inside the lid. That way, most rough edges will be outside the box and you won't have to worry as much about tail or body getting injured by jagged edges. Also, could probably just use a power sander to lightly smooth over holes all at once.
For really long-haired kitties, glue a piece of window screen over the area where holes are! Or, if you've got really curious cats, do this to keep their noses and whiskers from intruding through holes, along with any stray bits of litter that get kicked up.
Thanks for posting the code below. I have started writing up code for both 2 and 4 wire fans. (2 or 3 wire fans take V+ Ground, 3 wire also out puts speed of fan. 4 wire fans also have PWM input for speed.)
One of my cats has a problem with trying to attack the fan when its spinning at high speeds so I had to come up with a way to have it spin at around 30% of top speed. the newest fan in question is off of a nvida 8800 video card thats long been dead. The 4 wire fan from it has really saved me on speed control but I still made it for both types of fans just in case.
Along with the solar idea My code would most likely be easy on the power consumption as its not running all the time but starts slow when the cat enters the box waits till it leaves then turns it on full to make sure no air born smells get back in to the room.
I will try to get pics of the box and fan setup soon to show how I made it. Who knows you might even change yours to run like this if the cats dont mind.
The cat entered the catbox and proceeded to commence it's business, the fan turned on, literally scaring the poop out of the cat and caused the cat to go ballistic! The cover was thrown off the catbox, cat litter and poop spread all over and the cat departed at high speed for the closest convenient hiding place.
We nearly died laughing!
So this ought to be good for a laugh anyway... but beware, you may permanently traumatize your cat!

Or you could just toilet train like I have! :)
For the most part I clean it every single day and use a scented clay-based littler, for multiple cats, that I change every 2 weeks. I have 2 cats who use it a LOT and both are fed a natural diet.
I've NEVER had a problem with smelly littler boxes, and it's not because I'm "used to the smell" since I frequently am not home and have visiters over as well. My mother-in-law is a real clean freak and even she never smells it when she visits. She'd tell me too, trust me...
The only time I do smell it is when I forget to clean it for a day or 2.
So yeah. Maybe it depends on the cat, but it's certainly not all litter boxes since mine and PinUpRetro haven't had that problem.
I'm out all day at work and would have noticed a smell when I came through the door (I'm like a bloodhound for smell).
We have three cats so emptied poo out twice a day and changed the (clumping smell absorbing) litter every 5-7days depending on usage (in the summer they tended to addnutrients to the flowers).
My mum has all the subtley of a sledgehammer to the face and would say if it smelt too.
Diet isimportant too (just like with humans) - eat a bad fatty diet and your/their poo will smell.
A while back I actually tried a different litter called "World's Best Cat Litter", hoping to move from the clay based brand I had. Turns out I got rid of the stuff the very next day because I came home from being out for just half a day and was able to smell the stench. The litter did nothing to mask the smell.
After going back to the clay based stuff I again don't smell anything when I come home. So I definitely know the difference which would mean my nose didn't get used to anything. I bet the type of litter has a lot more to do with masking the smell than people realize.
Why don't you try switching out and see if that makes a difference? I use Fresh Step, if you were wondering. :)
We have friends who had success with it, so perhaps we just didn't have the right touch. Nevertheless, the potty training device blocks the toilet from normal human use for months on end, which is no fun for small apartment dwellers.
Age is irrelevant unless it's a cat too old to balance on the seat. Pregnant cats shouldn't be toilet trained either (nursing either - just in case on of the kittens is attached to a nipple!) obviously kittens shouldn't be toilet trained for obvious reasons.
I used the Litter Quitter. But I guess you could try and make something similar.
Tips: move their litter tray into the bathroom - make sure they see it and the door is always open.
When they've gone a few times (all cats have to have reached this stage - as with each stage) you can exchange their tray for the quitter (red stage) on the floor. Then when they've successfully gone in the put it on the loo. Sookie got this first time, lady took a little longer - we had to go back a stage with her.
Then change to Amber (see the pattern emerging): which still has room for litter but has a small hole in the middle - encouraging them to aim for the hole and sit more on the seat and not in the litter.
The green stage is similar to Amber except the hole is bigger.
It can take a few weeks if you have a lot if cats or some stooooopid ones. If we just had sookie it would have taken a few days to go though the stages.
Great thing about this is they love it - their poo disappears ANC they don't have to bury it, you don't gave to empty a tray - just flush, don't have to buy litter any more snd when I have a baby I don't need to worry about handling litter.
The litter quitter fits over the loo, but it's best to
Awesome Idea I think!
Consider how you'd feel if you started Hearing the Whirl of a fan or feel your Hair move in a wind where none existed before, Each time you used the Potty, Now Amplify that a hundred times, That's what your Cat is going through. You might try Switching the Fan from the Box to the Window, To Quiet things down a bit, As well as making a Diffuser at the Box-End to tone-down the Suction under the Hose outlet.
As for cat sensitivity to noise, my two tomcats are completely fine with sharing the same box on my first prototype and don't mind the fan noise a bit. On my 2nd build, my mom's older, female Calico started crapping all over the apartment, which is what pushed me to use the Arduino / PIR sensor solution (see last step) to shut off the fan whenever she approached the box. An LED on the top of the box turns off to provide her a visual to confirm the fan is off as she approaches.
This will help If & When you ever move to another house.

The lawyer for Amanda Knox slain roommate showed an Italian appeals court today autopsy pictures of the more than 40 wounds on her body because he wanted the jury to know "how this girl suffered."
The photos and summation presented by the lawyer for Meredith Kercher's family capped a grueling day for Knox who was earlier described as a "she devil," a "liar" and a woman who has an "angelic" side as well as a "diabolic" side.
The Kerchers' lawyer Francesco Maresca was one of several civil lawyers who addressed the court today in a series of summations in the appeal by Knox, 24, and her ex-boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito, 27. Both have been convicted of killing Kercher in November 2007. Knox is serving a 26 year prison term while Sollecito was given a 25 year term.
The stakes are excruciatingly high for the former Seattle college student. While Knox and Sollecito are hoping that will be let out of the Italian prison where they have been confined for the last four years, prosecutors have asked the appeals court to increase their sentences to life in prison.
Maresca was the third lawyer to speak today and he presented the jury with a second look at autopsy photos that had been shown earlier in the appeal. While the court was cleared when the grisly photos were originally shown, spectators were allowed to remain in the courtroom today.
The lawyer held up a lovely photo of Kercher when she was alive and said, "I don't know why such a happy girl was killed."
He then proceeded to show photos of her naked and bloodied body, including a picture of the ugly and fatal gash on Kercher's neck. Some of the jurors looked away. The lawyer said that the lack of any defensive wounds on Kercher indicated that she was either tied up or held by others, preventing her from defending herself.
"I'm showing these photos to make you understand how this girl suffered," Maresca told the court.
"We are asking for justice," he said.
ABC News has the full story in its new video eBook, THE AMANDA KNOX STORY: A Murder in Perugia, available for sale on the iBooks, Kindle, and Nook eBook stores. Some court observers were shocked by the gruesome photos, and the Knox family was appalled that they have been so heavily used in the appeals process.
Knox's mother, Edda Mellas, called the repeated use of the photos "disgusting." She told ABC News that she found the "personal attack on my daughter a sign of desperation because they have no evidence."
A third person, Rudy Guede, was also convicted in a separate trial of taking part in the murder. He has been sentenced to 16 years in prison.
Earlier in the day, a lawyer described Knox as a "she devil."
Attorney Carlo Pacelli represented Diya "Patrick" Lumumba, a Congolese man who owned a bar where Knox worked part-time. During the nearly 50 hours of her interrogation, Knox implicated Lumumba in Kercher's death, telling police she had a "vision" that Lumumba was present.
Knox tried to retract her statement in the morning, saying the police had confused her with their extended grilling and tough tactics and their insistence that Lumumba was involved because they found a text message Knox had sent to Lumumba hours before Kercher was killed. Italy's Supreme Court threw out her "vision" statement.
Pacelli called Knox a "liar" and said, "The gapless evidence is proof of her guilt."
He said Knox's statement to police destroyed Lumumba as "a man, father and husband."
Knox, he said, is not "the daughter everyone wants." Instead she has a "double soul... on one side angelic," but on the other side "satanic, diabolic." Knox looked down during Pacelli's scathing description of her character, looking very tense.
Outside of the courtroom, Lumumba said, "I ask for justice, not vendetta."
"She is a great actress.... I know her better than most," said Lumumba. "I don't know if she was the assassin, but she lied because she needed time."
The testimony has clearly been taking a toll on Knox, who has been tense throughout the appeals process. She returned from a break in this morning's hearing looking particularly rattled as she passed the television cameras that record her daily entrances. After sitting down, she put her hands over her face.
Knox's father, Curt Knox, summed up the anxiety his daughter is enduring.
"It's life or she gets to come home," he told "Good Morning America" today. "That's a pretty big thing to have on your mind as a 24 year old."
Knox's mother told GMA her daughter is having a hard time sleeping and eating.
Also making a summation was a lawyer for the woman who owned the cottage that Knox and Kercher shared and where the murder occurred.
She was unable to rent the house for 17 months while police kept the crime scene sealed, and it has been almost impossible to rent it because it has been dubbed the "cottage of horrors," the lawyer said. Knox has previously been ordered to pay 10,000 euros to her former landlord, but the landlord is asking that the figure be increased.
A lawyer for Kercher is scheduled to speak today.

I mention some options due tocost and I find most field work for a small operator is 1/8 repairs but if I had to do it again for general maintenance work would consider a genset and a Maxstar 150. If we are doing dozer and excavator work this wont cut it but if you are in the fixing business it would work just dandy at about half the purchase price and about 20% of the operating cost as well as cheaper lead/cords.

A Maxstar has the advantage that if you have AC power, you would not need to run the genset at all. A dual voltage welder is the choice for field use.
The Maxstar manual does not say how large a generator would be needed. I will let others comment on why that would or would not be a good idea. I do think that a Bobcat or Trailblazer would present a more professional image.

I run a wirefeeder off my 250 bobcat regularly I also run my spoolgun when doing aluminum work. I don't understand why you say a bobcat is for stick only. as for tig I went to the local miller welding shop and they said I should be able to run a tig setup off the bobcat with no problem.

I do agree with everyone about the trail blazer .if you have the money to buy one I would get it but if your a little short on cash the bobcat will do just fine.

For as long as we've crowned Automobile of the Year, we have also relied on design editor Robert Cumberford to select a Design of the Year. Some winners have been prettier than others, but all have been significant in terms of excellence in automotive design.
Here we've listed all 23 Design of the Year winners in chronological order, along with a little insight on why each one was picked.
1990: Nissan 300ZX
The Lexus LS400 almost won our first Design of the Year award, but its anonymous, me-too styling held it back. Instead, Nissan proved that Japanese styling could be anything but derivative with the 300ZX while providing good performance, reliability, and design equaling or surpassing the European competition.
1991: Acura NSX
The year of the NSX. Not only did Acura's revolutionary supercar win the honor of our second Automobile of the Year, it was also our design of the Year. Light years ahead of its peers in engineering, design, and performance that created the first true everyday supercar.
1992: Honda Civic VX
The Civic VX is a no-compromise car – style, performance, economy, and practicality in one vehicle. With a clean, contemporary style, the two-door VX shooting brake has aged well and set a new standard for the compact class.
1993: Mazda RX-7
Smaller, lighter, and faster than its predecessors, the RX-7 looks the part of a serious sports car – and is – that can still tackle the day-to-day commuting. It was this all-around excellence that made the RX-7 stand out in 1993 and continues to today.
1994: Saab 900
According to Cumberford, the 900 taught the entire auto industry an important lesson – just because parts were shared, a brand did not need to lose its character. Sadly, this lesson wasn't followed for very long, which later led to Saab's demise at the hands of General Motors.
1995: Ferrari 456GT
Our headline for the 1995 Design of the Year article reads "Sometimes passion must win." A gorgeous, front-engined, V-12-powered, two-plus-two with contemporary mechanicals – how could the 456GT not be Design of the Year?
1996: Ford Taurus/Mercury Sable
The 1996 Taurus and Sable were the most-advanced cars to come out of Ford Motor Company to date. Thanks to the risks Ford took in developing and styling these two mid-size sedans, these radically-styled sedans nabbed Design of the Year.
Technologically and aerodynamically advanced, the EV1 isn't the prettiest thing, but it represented the potential a corporate behemoth could accomplish. Its electric powertrain may not have been our best bet for long-term viability, but the concepts needed to accomplish an estimated 80 mpg and 125-mph top speed made the EV1 revolutionary.
1998: Chrysler Concorde
Radical styling and an advanced version of Chrysler's LH platform made the Concord a shoe-in for Design of the Year. The midsizer's design was more daring and exciting than many of the concept cars of the day with dramatic proportions and thorough engineering.
1999: BMW M Coupe
The BMW M Coupe is not beautiful; it's brutal. A joy to drive and all business in its aesthetics and engineering, the clown-shoe-shaped car relays its mission clearly and directly.
2000: Audi TT
Easy to drive and easy on the eyes, the Audi TT marked a successful recalling of German designs past. The "inverted bathtub" shape of the TT helped to bring customers to Audi showrooms, and brought joyfulness to the automotive marketplace.
2001: Alfa Romeo 156 Sportwagon
We broke our own rules with this one – the 156 was not on sale by January 1 for us to buy, as it never was sold in the U.S. However, the 156 Sportwagon is the crowning jewel in the venerable brand's recent design history, and warrants our award, on sale or not.
2002: Mercedes-Benz SL500
The SL500 is a technical tour de force that not only contains a raft of impressive engineering and new technology, but wrapped it all in an attractive package that can give Aston Martin's designs a run for the money. Better yet, the Mercedes' top goes down.
BMW has had a history of breaking rules with its sports cars, and the Z4 is no exception to this rule. The complex and beautiful form crafted by Chris Bangle helped to define the new "flame surfacing" design language of BMW for the next decade complete with an interplay between convex and concave body surfaces.
2004: Toyota Prius
If there ever were a car designed to be completely comfortable in its own shell, it's the 2004 Toyota Prius. The unassuming, pragmatic hybrid is not only functional, but surprisingly cute.
2005: BMW 6 Series
Forget about tradition, we love the 2006 BMW 6 Series. The coupe wears a sleek, aggressive appearance, and "stands out like a swan in a gaggle of geese" thanks to its undulating curves and changes between convex and concave surfacing.
Cool, exciting, and good to drive, the Pontiac Solstice stays close to the alluring design of the preceding concept car. Cumberford said that in 2006 and in the years to come, the Solstice would be a pleasure to look at, to be behind the wheel, and to own.
2007: Aston Martin V8 Vantage
A car that is both sensuous and sensual? Yes, those are the words Cumberford chose to describe the Aston Martin V8 Vantage – a car that is both beautiful and technically advanced.
2008: Audi R8
The R8 was only the second-ever car to win both Automobile of the Year and Design of the Year in the same year, after the Acura NSX in 1991. It is dynamic, sexy, and checks all of our boxes.
2009: Audi A5
Few German cars are known for having particularly emotive design; however, the Audi A5 is one of them. Proclaimed to be the best car ever done by the car's designer Walter de Silva (now head of all Volkswagen Group design), the exterior is handsome while the interior signaled a new standard of excellence for Audi.
2010: Nissan Cube
The 2010 Nissan Cube is no Grace Kelly - it's not sleek, sexy, or beautiful. But while it lacks in elegance, the Cube draws appeal in its quirky charm, and its surprisingly smooth ride.
The XJ marked a full return to form for the Jaguar brand – wrapping the all-aluminum body introduced in 2004 in evocative bodywork that stayed true to Sir William Lyon's technique to the original Jaguars. Most importantly, while being all-new, the XJ was still a Jaguar in look, essence, and feel.
This is the stuff of which legends are made. Powerful, sleek, and untouchable, the Karma is a dream car come to production with its sinewy body design and futuristic range-extended electric powertrain.

|Shepherd's Pie
By Susie Fishbein, Passover by Design
What to do with leftover mashed potatoes, leftover chopped meat, leftover vegetables? How about the ultimate comfort food? It's right out of my childhood: Shepherd's Pie. If you don't have leftover mashed potatoes, just peel some Yukon Gold, russet, or Idaho potatoes, cut into chunks, and boil. When soft, mash with some salt, pepper, and nondairy creamer. Don't mash in a food processor or they will become gluey, but the job can be done in a Kitchen Aid stand mixer with a whisk attachment.
If the occasion calls for a more formal presentation, divide the filling among individual ramekins before piping with potatoes and baking. To make the potatoes easier to pipe, add a little more creamer.
3 tablespoons olive oil
Preheat oven to 425˚F.
Heat the oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the onions, carrots, and celery. Sauté 3–4 minutes. Add the garlic. Add the salt and pepper. Add the leaves from the sprig of thyme and the bay leaf.
Lift the tomatoes out of their liquid and drain well. Chop and add to the pan. Add the ground beef and sauté until brown, about 12–15 minutes. Remove the bay leaf and discard it.
Add the sugar and consommé powder.
Place the meat mixture into a medium ovenproof casserole dish. Cover with mashed potatoes. For a decorative touch, you can pipe the mashed potatoes through a large star tip of a pastry bag.
Place in oven and bake for 20–30 minutes, until potatoes are just starting to brown.
Yield: Makes 6-8 servings
Recipes: Passover, Meat, Beef, Non-Gebrokts, Kosher
