The 2010 Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale auction was anything but routine for the attendees and organizers. Rainy weather blanketed the Phoenix area from Monday until Friday afternoon. Ferocious winds Thursday night caused an evacuation of the outlying tents. The roofs of the tents over the Vendor Pavilion and the Feature Cars Showcase were seen moving up and down in great heaves while the sounds of straining metal rang out. The Westworld tents proved their strength and weathered the storm with almost zero damage. Quick thinking by the Barrett-Jackson organizers was used to bring tractor trailer trucks to surround the tents and act as wind buffers. Their plan worked and the show went on as scheduled. The nearby Russo and Steel auction did not fare so well. The high winds Thursday night brought down their main tent. Tent support poles were sent crashing down on the cars gathered underneath while the tent fabric whipped across Loop 101. Friday morning the area was busy with workers trying to bring order back to the auction. Damage estimates are ranging in the $1.5 million dollar range.
Overall the Barrett-Jackson auction was no less spectacular than previous years. Attendance was good and the atmosphere was upbeat. This was a buyer's year with many bargains to be had. Of particular note was the sliding in value of "pro touring" cars. One particularly well done Firebird went for only $66k, a price which barely covered the parts used in the car. The money was on the bidder's floor but the high bidding wars just didn't happen this year. Classic Corvettes with exceptional pedigrees sold at close to expected prices while other lesser cars went for bargain pricing. A large number of classic trucks were present at the auction, as were a number of later model future classics. One surprise was the number of 70s American luxo-barges. These largely ignored and often destroyed cars are beginning to capture the eye of some collectors.
One stunning bargain came in the sale of the Blastolene 1952 Watson Roadster Custom "Tank Car." Made famous by its' twin owned by Jay Leno the Watson Roadster was brought to the block by its' builder Randy Grubbs. Interest in the car was high as it was mobbed in the staging lanes but the price at the gavel drop was only $280,500.
Even with the lower prices on the auction block attendees still enjoyed the event which is a Barrett-Jackson auction. Both Ford and Chevrolet were present offering test drive of their newest vehicles. The surprise of the bunch was the Taurus SHO, which when launched with two feet (to spool up the turbos) returns a grin on the driver from ear to ear. A multitude of food vendors offered up everything from pit barbecue to fried soba noodles. vendors were also on hand to help car collectors round out their homes and garages with all the latest decor.
Even without the big money sales of past years the 2010 Scottsdale event was a success. The crew at Barrett-Jackson can't rest though, the Palm Beach auction is only two months away.

It's been two years since the devastating earthquake and tsunami struck Japan, resulting in over 15,000 deaths. But perhaps the most dangerous consequences of the terrible natural disaster was the damage it caused to the Fukushima nuclear plant.
While the Japanese authorities were occupied with the overwhelming task of finding rescuers and rehabilitating them in the aftermath of the earthquake, the news that one of the nuclear site had suffered considerable damage - equipment failure, nuclear meltdowns and release of radioactive material - raised great concern worldwide. Even though the Japanese government was able to quickly curb the extent of the disaster - termed as the worst nuclear disaster since the accident in Chernobyl, Ukraine, in 1986 - the threat of nuclear contamination has lingered due to ongoing problems with the functioning of the plant.
The latest issue is the discovery of a toxic radioactive isotope, tritium, discovered in groundwater at the nuclear plant. Tritium, which is used in glow-in-the-dark watches, was found at eight times the allowable level. The news follows a series of problems that have plagued the site this year. Just last month news of radioactive water leaking from a storage tank made headlines, while multiple power failures occurred in five weeks earlier this year. The regular supply of power to the plant is of critical importance because without the cooling, meltdown and subsequent leakage of radiation can potential occur. Exposure to radiation has serious health consequences for human being. While large doses of radiation in a short period of time can lead to radiation poisoning - the failure of organ tissue - continued exposure to even little amounts of radiation has been linked to cancer and other physical abnormalities.
The Fukushima plant disaster is proof of the dangers of producing and using nuclear energy in areas vulnerable to natural disasters. While it is true that nuclear energy is definitely a cost-effective and clean way of fulfilling energy needs in the modern world, the most stringent safety measures need to be employed at nuclear plants. But despite that, if the place is vulnerable to nature's wrath, a full-scale disaster can occur.

I always thought triskaidekaphobia was a fear of Friday the 13th.
fear of the number 13:)
I agree fear of the number 13
i'll agree with everyone else.
but Nosferatu is somewhat correct also.
while it's the fear of the number 13, it is often extended to mean fear of the date Friday 13th.

its funny cause triskaideka doesnt mean 13 but 3+10 ...dekatris means 13 in greek so it would be more reasonable to be dekatriophobia...anyhow words are often changed when used in other languages...

User Comments: great info - comprehensive course covering fitness to nutrition and more!
User Comments: Very useful
User Comments: I understand that through ACE we should be able to train any and all clients, however, I feel that childhood Obesity should be covered through a childhood development course
User Comments: I enjoyed this portion of the course; however, quite a few of the question/answers on the quiz contradicted the reading.
User Comments: The book seems useful but yet again the test was too easy. However I did answer two questions incorrectly but was unable to find out the correct answer from the test score sheet afterwards. This would be a good addition.
User Comments: a couple of the quiz questions very misleading but overall very powerful information .. stats that I will use in my practice thank you
User Comments: This course has helped me to encourage positive changes in my children's school related to activities that can help reduce the risk of obesity and other diseases. Much of the research cited can help others working to improve physical activity in children and argue to create policy change.
User Comments:
As said with another review I read, some of the questions had multiple answers as far as the material in the book, there was no one correct answer. I chose one of the 4 that was in fact correct, but got it wrong anyway.
ACE RESPONSE: Thank you for posting your review. An ACE representative will be in contact with you shortly, via email, to address your concerns.
User Comments: Really liked it. The appendixes in the back of the book really helped.
This course had an excellent amount of information. I enjoyed this course.
ACE RESPONSE: Thanks so much for the feedback. So glad you enjoyed this course!
User Comments: This book had a number of good ideas on how to understand the issues related to working with children in a health and fitness setting. Nothing too far past common sense, but now I have a better idea on what limits kids have, and what is appropriate for them.
User Comments: The information was very informative.
But unfortunately that failed to translate to the quiz. there were several instances of incomplete questions, typos, as well as 3 questions where the correct answers were not provided. I missed only those three.

Flickr and Twitter are great for staying in touch with family and friends. Just post a quick message or share a photo. But you may be sharing much more than you bargained for.
What if a stranger could use your posts to see where you live and where you go? Thanks to a free program called Cree.py, anyone could do just that. Cree.py searches your posts for location information.
How does this work? To understand it fully, you must understand geo-tagging. Geo-tagging adds GPS coordinates to a tweet or photo. You probably use your smartphone to post to Twitter and to take photos. GPS information is likely added. And you don't even know it.
Once Cree.py finds GPS information in your posts, it creates a map. You'll see the location where photos were taken or posts made. It can reveal where you live and work. It can reveal your child's school and your daily routine. Thieves, pedophiles and stalkers will have directions right to you. I made a video so that you can see Cree.py in action. Visit www.komando.com/news to watch it now.
Removing GPS data
Let's start with your photos. When you take a photo, your camera embeds data in it. Normally, you don't see this EXIF data unless you look for it. But it contains a wealth of information. You can learn about the camera and the settings used to take a photo.
The EXIF data is also where you'll find GPS coordinates. So, you'll want to remove EXIF data when posting photos online. You can do this with a free program like EXIF-O-Matic. Get it at Komando.com/news.
Blocking location services
Wiping EXIF data is easy enough. But you don't have to do that every time you upload a photo. Most cameras can't add GPS data without optional accessories and software. However, there is a notable exception to this: Smartphones. So you should prevent your smartphone from embedding location information in photos.
The latest iPhone software lets you block certain apps from accessing location information. Tap Settings, General, Location Services. Make sure your Camera app is set to Off. You may also want to disable Location Services on other apps.
With older versions of the iPhone software, it's an all-or-nothing affair. But there is a workaround. Tap Settings, General, Reset. Select Reset Location Warnings, Reset Warnings. Open the Camera app. When prompted to allow access to location information, tap Don't Allow. When you launch other apps, you'll be given the same choice.
In Android, open the camera app. Then open the camera menu. Select Store Location and make sure it is turned off.
On the BlackBerry, launch the camera and press the Menu button. Choose Options and set the Geotagging option to Disabled. Save your settings.
Block GPS data
You should also block Flickr and Twitter from displaying GPS information. This is easy enough for Twitter. Sign in and go to your settings page. Make sure Enable Geotagging is deselected. This should block GPS information, no matter where you tweet from.
On Flickr, sign in to your account. Click Your Account. Open the Privacy & Permissions tab. Click edit beside "Who will be able to see your stuff on a map." Choose who can see your location information. You can restrict this to friends or family, for example. Click Save. Then click edit beside "Import EXIF location data." Deselect the option to import the information and click Save.
Don't put yourself and your family in a dangerous situation. Fortunately, you can hide your location information. Now, you know how.
Kim Komando's column is published on Sunday. Reach her at firstname.lastname@example.com.

There weren't many football teams who struggled as much in 2013 as UTEP did in finishing 2-10.
One team who trumped the Miners in that respect was Southern Miss, and now the Golden Eagles are in the Miners' division in a realigned Conference USA announced Monday.
UTEP's schedule will include a home game against Southern Miss, which went 1-11 last year and is the new program in a six-team West Division that loses Tulsa and Tulane to the American Athletic Conference.
The Miners have three crossover games against programs from the seven-team East Division: new FBS team Old Dominion, conference newcomer Western Kentucky and Middle Tennessee.
"There was no surprise in where we're at," coach Sean Kugler said. "We're excited about the schedule coming up. We have two bye weeks that come at good times, there's no point late in the season where we have two road games in a row."
As previously announced, UTEP opens at New Mexico on Aug. 30 then has back-to-back attractive home games in Texas Tech on Sept. 6 and New Mexico State Sept. 13. After a bye, UTEP closes its non-conference schedule at Kansas State on Sept. 27 and then opens conference at Louisiana Tech on Oct. 4. Those mark the only back-to-back road games, as the slate alternated home and away after that.
"The great thing about Texas Tech is there are so many people in the city of El Paso, if they didn't go to UTEP, they went to Texas Tech," athletic director Bob Stull said. "More than any other school, there are a lot Tech people in town. It's great for the community."
The surprise with the schedule is that the West Division has six teams and the East seven. Charlotte will join the league in football in 2015, and assuming they go in the East, one school that will be in the East next year, presumably UAB, will have to switch to the West.
To balance the schedule next year, four teams in the East will only play five of the other six teams in their division and will have three crossover games.
Every school was allowed to make two playing-date requests. UTEP requested either a bye or a road game on Sept. 20 to avoid a conflict with the One Direction concert set for the Sun Bowl on Sept. 19, and an Oct. 11 home game for homecoming. UTEP plays Old Dominion on that date.
The Miners have a bye week following that game, then play at UTSA, at home against Southern Miss, at Western Kentucky, at home against North Texas, at Rice and finish at home on Nov. 29 against Middle Tennessee.
Here is a look at the schedule, courtesy of UTEP athletics:
2014 UTEP Football Schedule
Aug. 30 at New Mexico
Sept. 6 Texas Tech
Sept. 13 New Mexico State
Sept. 27 at Kansas State
Oct. 4 at LA Tech
Oct. 11 Old Dominion
Oct. 25 at UTSA
Nov. 1 Southern Miss
Nov. 8 at Western Kentucky
Nov. 15 North Texas
Nov. 21 at Rice
Nov. 29 Middle Tennessee

Hello again, Project Runway fans! Last week, the designers created outfits to pair with diamonds. This week, it was the first team challenge – and the fabric came from prizes won at Coney Island's boardwalk (read: straw sombreros and stuffed animals), making this the second unconventional-materials challenge in just three episodes.
The good: My pick, hands down, was Alexandria and Dom's adorable sharkmonster. Helen and Kate's red sombrero dress had the judges swooning, too. It felt a little rough at the curves and waistline, but their creativity made it work.
The bad (and the ugly): Alexander and Justin's attempt to rock some sherbet-hued plastic fell victim to a serious lack of editing, and Timothy and Miranda's blue high-low dress and yellow vest were a bizarre mix of boring and horribly mismatched.
The last laugh: Everyone needs a little more Tim Gunn in their life – unless they're Timothy, who couldn't catch a break. Tim's comments on his and Miranda's design ranged from "hospital gown" to "Disney princess" (both accurate, but… ouch).
What did you think of Miranda's outburst in the sewing room, and – on the other side of things – the blossoming "galmance" between Kate and Helen? Are you as happy as I am that team challenges will (hopefully) be few and far between this season?
Tweet us at @ruelala to chat about it. Until then, auf Wiedersehen.

This bubble bath is the most lusciously fragrant and rich product I've ever had the pleasure of lounging in after a stressful day on the floor. It takes very little of that lovely product to produce mounds of aromatic foam that surrounds you like a loving hug. It leaves your skin feeling so liveable, with a soft, lingering scent of lavender clinging to you for hours after exiting your bath. Lavender naturally soothes and relieves the senses, making for a good night's rest. I've found a new favorite.

Refreshing Fragrance
Thymes makes the best lavendar bath product. This product is my personal spa 'Go To' refresher after a long day. The scent never disappoints or fails to renew my senses, helping me feel relaxed and soothed. Lovely product.
Someone gave me a set of Thymes hand lotion and hand wash for Christmas. I fell in love with the fragrance of Lavender and the quality of the lotion and soap. I just knew I had to find out more about Thymes products. I found Thymes on line and ordered the Lavender Bubble Bath and the room freshener. A little goes a long way and that's a good thing.
Wonderful products and I am glad I discovered them.
I bought this for my husband, he uses it to relax after a hard day's work
Treat yourself every day!
I've been thinking about how lovely it is to take a bubble bath, but when my supply runs out I usually just wait until my birthday or Christmas when I'm given my favorite Thymes products (Lavender) by my husband or children. This summer I decided that life is too short not to have a little luxury every day! After a few hours in the garden it is so lovely to have a nice long soak with my delicious lavender bubbles!

Senate may push for more customized CR
Senate appropriators signaled last week that their version of legislation to keep the government open beyond March 27 would include a full defense spending bill — and potentially other full agency funding measures.
"I've been talking with Sen. Mikulski about whether it's possible to put more of the regular appropriations bills on it," Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, told reporters Thursday, referring to panel Chairwoman Sen. Barbara Mikulski, D-Md.
"We in the Senate have done our work on the appropriations bills, with one exception, and I don't think it makes sense to throw that work out the window," Collins said.
Asked whether a mini-omnibus or full omnibus — meaning a bill that would couple together multiple full-year agency spending bills into a single measure — could pass the House, Collins replied: "I don't know whether it would or not."
Minutes later, Mikulski happened upon the same group of reporters carrying a purple folder with a proposed plan for the Senate's version of continuing resolution (CR) legislation. She was preparing to present it to her Democratic caucus.
The House on Wednesday passed its version of the legislation, a $982 billion measure that includes a full $518.1 billion Pentagon 2013 appropriations bill. The House measure also has attached full-year military construction and Department of Veterans Affairs funding bills.
"As you can see, I have a slim proposal," Mikulski said, holding up the glossy folder.
Sen. Levin won't seek re-election
Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman Carl Levin, D-Mich., is leaving the upper chamber, saying he can best help forge solutions on major national problems without the distractions of a re-election campaign.
After numerous reports of his scant campaign fundraising totals, Levin announced Thursday evening he will retire. When Levin steps down in two years, he will give up his Senate Armed Services Committee (SASC) chairmanship and other top posts, drastically transforming that panel and the upper chamber.
Levin, in a statement, said he opted against another campaign so he can remain free of the shackles of a re-election bid to help seek solutions to a range of outstanding national issues.
"This decision was extremely difficult," Levin said. "Our country is at a crossroads that will determine our economic health and security for decades to come."
Levin, who has held the Senate seat since 1979, said he decided "I can best serve my state and nation by concentrating in the next two years on the challenging issues before us that I am in a position to help address; in other words, by doing my job without the distraction of campaigning for re-election."
Among those issues: tax reform, reviving Michigan's manufacturing sector and Pentagon budget pressures.
"The next two years will also be important in dealing with fiscal pressures on our military readiness," Levin said. "As chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, I am determined to do all I can to address that issue."
Brennan sworn in as CIA chief
When John Brennan was sworn in as the new Central Intelligence Agency director on Friday morning, he put his left hand on a piece of history as he delivered his oath.
At Brennan's request, the National Archives loaned Brennan an original draft of the U.S. Constitution for the private swearing-in ceremony at the White House. The document, which dates from 1787, has George Washington's handwriting and annotations on it.
"Mr. Brennan had requested a document from the National Archives that would symbolize that the United States is a nation of laws," White House spokesman Josh Earnest said. "And before Mr. Brennan was sworn in he told the president that he made the request to the Archives because he wanted to reaffirm his commitment to the rule of law as he took the oath of office as director of the CIA."
Vice President Biden officiated at the swearing-in.
Brennan, who previously served as White House counterterrorism adviser and spent 25 years in the CIA, was confirmed by the Senate Thursday after facing a long filibuster led by Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., who questioned the constitutionality of drone strikes without legal due process.
Some have found some irony in Brennan's choice of document. The Emptywheel blog notes that Brennan took his oath on a draft that did not include the Bill of Rights. The Constitution went into effect in 1789, but the Bill of Rights was not ratified until 1791.
Brennan has played a key role in overseeing the drone program, which has been used to target terrorists in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Yemen and elsewhere, in President Obama's and George W. Bush's administrations.

COVENTRY— Freshman at Quinnipiac University and Coventry native Amanda Hoskins recently traveled to Washington D.C. with 400 students from around the nation to participate in the presidential inauguration seminar and interact with numerous political leaders.
She explained that this opportunity was open to all freshman students enrolled in communications and political science classes at the university.
Students applied through the Washington Center for Internships and Academic Seminars, a program based out of Washington D.C. that offers internships and hosts seminars for students throughout the country.
Hoskins, who's working on a double major in broadcast journalism and Spanish, explained that 21 students from Quinnipiac were chosen for the trip, along with political science Professor Scott McLean.
"Our students learn so much more about the issues facing the Congress and the president in 2013 when they can meet journalists and leaders in Washington during the inauguration," said McLean, who has been leading Quinnipiac students to presidential inaugurations since 2001. "We are also developing a stronger alumni network of our former students who are now working in D.C."
The students traveled to Washington D.C. on Jan. 12 for 10 days to visit embassies, executive branch offices, Congressional offices, media organizations and nonprofit associations.
Hoskins said each student received three credits for attending the trip and that participants were responsible for working with the professor daily to submit assignments and papers.

A pre-human skull found in 2005 in the ground at the medieval village Dmanisi, Georgia. The discovery of the 1.8 million-year-old human ancestor captures early human evolution on the move, scientists say.
- Filed Under
While nearly two-thirds of Americans say humans have evolved over time, a third of U.S. adults disagree, according to new survey results from the Pew Research Center.
The Pew Research Religion & Public Life Project report released Monday found that 33 percent think "humans and other living things have existed in their present form since the beginning of time." Sixty percent agreed with evolution.
Among those who agree with human evolution, about half attribute it to "natural processes such as natural selection." Whereas, 24 percent of adults say "a supreme being guided the evolution of ...

Flame top (which is off for me, usually I like quilts but I think flame would work best with this colour/PU combo)
I reckon it would one versatile axe, the maple/ebony combo would give the NFs some real snap and clarity and teamed up with the 59/09, you could cover some serious sonic territory. I've got the same PU combo in my SE, and going back and forth between that and the NF3, I notice the SE is just a little... duller... This combo, IMO, would rock.
Damn I just gave myself GAS.

A former Vero Beach police officer convicted of three counts of lewd and lascivious sexual battery on a minor was sentenced Tuesday to life in prison.
James Scharfschwerdt, 55, was found guilty in December after a two-day trial in St. Johns County. The judge, in sentencing Scharfschwerdt to three life terms, called his crimes planned and cruel and said he was in denial of his sickness.
Deputies said the investigation began when a teen boy reported an incident that occurred in July 2007 alleging that Scharfschwerdt had sex with him.
Scharfschwerdt targeted young boys in need of a father figure and would provide alcoholic beverages to his victims and showed pornographic movies to them, prosecutors said. They said he sexually battered a 14-year-old boy in three separate incidents.
The victim and his mother both spoke at Tuesday's sentencing hearing and also asked that Scharfschwerdt be sentenced to life so that he may never hurt another child.
Detectives said they learned that Scharfschwerdt was a former Vero Beach police officer in South Florida and was arrested in 1988 on similar allegations from numerous victims. He was acquitted on those charges.
Detectives said they served a search warrant at Scharfschwerdt's home in St. Johns County, where they seized several items of possible evidence.
"James Scharfschwerdt is a serial pedophile who deserves to die in prison," State Attorney R. J. Larizza said.
Defense lawyers are expected to appeal the conviction and sentence.

Advocates for action, University of Vermont in Burlington
In 2014, President Obama will decide whether to block or allow the proposed Keystone XL pipeline, which would increase the transportation of oil from Canada to Gulf Coast refineries. The pending decision symbolizes a fundamental choice for the United States and the world regarding a reduced-carbon future.
The proposed Keystone XL would transport bituminous (tar sand) oil from Alberta, Canada to Steele City, Nebraska and then to Texas, thereby connecting the Canadian tar sands region to refineries and ports on the Gulf Coast.
Obama indicated he will not allow the pipeline if it would exacerbate carbon pollution. Critics and proponents alike agree that mining tar sands oil produces significantly more greenhouse gas emissions than conventional crude oil. But Canadian and U.S. oil and mining interests continue to push for the pipelines construction, arguing the tar sands oil will be mined regardless of the pipeline an argument that ignores the current difficulties in moving the tar sands oil to refineries.
In addition to concerns about greenhouse gas emissions from the oil itself, the project requires both mining and transporting the tar sands oil, which in turn requires more energy and water than conventional oil drilling. It also destroys irreplaceable boreal forest and wetlands and poses grave risks of spills and leaks as it crosses the heartland of America, including the Ogallala Aquifer, a primary source of fresh water for eight farmland states. Moreover, farmers will lose farmland along the proposed route through the power of eminent domain. Foreign corporations will receive much of this land.
The costs of the proposed pipeline seem to far outstrip the benefits. Studies demonstrate that the pipeline would generate relatively few long-term jobs and contribute little to Americas energy security because the oil would be sold on the global market.
By opposing the Keystone XL and the interests behind it, a coalition of farmers, families and environmentalists have highlighted the pipelines importance as a tipping point toward one of two very different futures. President Obamas decision on this project in 2014 will further commit the country to one of those futures.

I think they were queens fans thinking they were going to get a number 1 pick. they were thinking of trading pick numero uno for AR... essentially Blake for AR. would you do it? I wouldn't.

B Wright + Maggette for Baron I'd do in a heartbeat. Randolph makes Wright expendable and I'd love to get rid of Mags bad contract for a PG that would bring us back to where we were.

I was just messing around with the ESPN Trade Machine, and I came up with this.
Just for fun, so please don't flame.
Warriors Get: #2 Pick in the 2009 Draft
Warriors Lose: Brandon Wright, #7 Pick in the 2009 Draft
Suns Get: Brandon Wright, Marko Jaric, Darko Milicic, #7 Pick in the 2009 Draft
Suns Lose: Amare Stoudemire
Grizzlies Get: Amare Stoudemire
Grizzlies Lose: #2 Pick in the Draft, Marko Jaric, Darko Milicic
The Obvious upside to this trade is that the Warriors could then go after Ricky Rubio, hopefully a long term plug at the PG. If Rubio really is as good a prospect as some on here think that he is, we would have made out pretty well in this mythical deal.
For the Suns, it seems that they have been looking to unload salaries lately and from what I have heard Amare is on the way out this offseason. They can replace him with young talent and two players who's contracts expire after next year (Milicic @ 7 mil and Wright at 2.4 Mil), which could make them players in the possibly outstanding FA class of 2010. On top of that they would have two first round picks in the upcoming draft where, according to my calculations, they could continue to add young talent in great value spots considering this mediocre draft class.
The Grizzlies would have to be considered at least a playoff contender with a starting five of Conley, Mayo, Gay, Stoudemire and Gasol. And even if I am overrating that 5, they would certainly have a wealth of young talent all over the roster. My hypothetical trade is assuming that Amare does a sign and trade.
Anyway that was fun. Back to real life.

Thanks for the response. I am not sure, but is Darrell Aurthur a starter for Memphis? His salary is small enough to tack on without messing the trade up.

Hahaha ok so I have been having a lot of fun with this trade machine. Here is another one that I just did for fun:
Warriors get: Detroits' 2010 Second Round Pick, Matt Barnes
Warriors Lose: Jamaal Crawford
Sun Get: Jason Maxiell, Teyshaun Prince, Detroit's 2009 and 2010 First Rounder
Sun Lose: Amare Stoudemire, Matt Barnes
Pistons Get: Amare Stoudemire, Jamaal Crawford
Pistons Lose: '09 and '10 First Rounders, Teyshaun Prince and Jason Maxiell
Maybe too much for Detroit to give up but if you look at the big picture, they gain one perrenial All-Star and one spark plug scorer. Also it may not look that good for us but really the whole league knows we want to get rid of Jamaal and Nelson is already farmiliar with the versitle Matt Barnes.
Anyways once again that was just for kicks.

That is certainly something worth exploring. To me, Anothony Randolph makes Bradan Wright expendable for a number of reasons, and while we don't really need Ben Wallace, he is likely to retire or organize a buyout of his current contract anyways, so trading for him is essentially taking 10 Million the books, as you said.
The only problem is that in todays NBA, 10 Million off the books is a hot, hot commodity, especially considering the FA class coming up the year after next. I think that we would probably be outbid. If the Nets offered Vince Carter for Raef Lafrentz's expiring contract last year at the deadline, then a player who is actually physically able to play AND is an expiring contract should get some strange and crazy bids in today's NBA.

OK I got three Crawford trades to ponder.
Crawford for the nets' Bobby Simmons
I know what your saying, "who the f*ck is bobby simmons?
answer: the closest thing we can get to cap room.
put up one year with him, and then it's ten mill off the books.
in the mean time, he can step in defensively at the 3 if need be, and he can also fill in for maggette if he gets hurt again this year.
Nets are lacking a solid 2 guard, and I know they are in the "LeBron Sweepstakes" but honestly, I don't think they will get him with NYK making such a strong push.
this second one might get monta's panties in a bundle (getting a back-up PG), but who cares?
Alston (who they want to trade) + Battie for Crawford + a 1st round pick
- they don't really need Crawford, but who knows. it would give us help where we need it and both are also 1 year deals (cap room!)
3rd move
Jamal Crawford for the Wizzzs Etan Thomas and Javaris Crittenton.
- I would be REALLY happy if it went down. Crittenton is a young tall PG with skillz (still a project, but has lots of promise.) agent 0 and Crawford in the backcourt might really work for them, and they might get Jorday Hill in the draft, so they can toss etan to us.
Etan thomas = low post bulk if he is healthy and 7.5 Mill worth of Cap room regardless (1yr deal).
Javaris Crittenton gives us the tall back up PG we need. less of a project than anyone in the draft, and whats more, we could sell our draft pick for next years first rounder!
yeah it could go down like this:
Washington secures Jordan Hill with the 5th pick. we then tell the wiz we will make a trade of Crawford for Etan Thomas and Javaris Crittenton AND give them the 7th pick for their first rounder from next year. we get what we need and we also get a lotto pick (cause washington sux) for next year too, while getting rid of shiit (crawford) we don't want!
PG:Monta Ellis / Javaris Crittenton / Marco Belinelli
SG: Stephen Jackson / Anthony Morrow / resign CJ watson
SF: Keleena Azubuike / Corey Maggette
PF: Anthony Randolph / Brandan Wright / Etan Thomas
C: Andris Biedrins / Ronny Turiaf / Jemereo Davidson
you want speed? than you just move monta down to SG, move Jax down to SF, and let either Crittenton (for slashing) or Belinelli (for 3pt threat) take over PG. both back ups are 6'5" evening out monta's shortcomings as a SG.
hello playoffs, it's been a while, hasn't it? I've missed you...

MANTOLOKING — Residents who waited weeks to see their Sandy-ravaged homes will again be banned from Ocean Countys northern barrier island, but only temporarily.
Starting Monday, as New Jersey Natural Gas moves forward with critical service repairs, the section of the barrier island between Downer Avenue in Mantoloking and Dune Avenue in Brick will be closed to residents.
But barrier island resident Doug Popaca said he doesnt mind the closure, knowing it puts him that much closer to living once again in his Mantoloking home of 31 years.
Its an inconvenience, but this storm has been a giant inconvenience for everybody up and down the coast, said Popaca, 66. Im encouraged gas and other utility companies are working as hard as they can to get things back on.
New Jersey Natural Gas has been working to restore service for most of Ocean Countys northern barrier island by the end of December. The company broke the island into seven sections and will spend two to three days in each to put gas back in the meter, said Michael Kinney, a company spokesman.
The gas company on Monday finished returning service to customers on Long Beach Island, he said.
Residents in each section will be banned from accessing their homes while crews work, so what impacts some Mantoloking, Brick and Toms River residents Monday will impact residents farther south the rest of the week.
Its done as a matter of safety, Kinney said, explaining the company is avoiding causing ignition in the work areas.
After gas is back in the main in each section, another crew of utility workers will begin restoring service lines and meters, also starting below the Mantoloking Bridge and moving south, Kinney said. There wont be an access ban during that job, he said.
Once meters are tagged, property owners can bring in a qualified technician for an inspection and to turn their service back on, Kinney said. Properties must have electric service restored first, he said.
Brick Township Mayor Stephen Acropolis said residents will likely take the few days of inconvenience for the long-term benefit.
Its one step closer to getting them back permanently, he said.

Oscar and Tony winner Glenn Close lent her star power Wednesday to legislation that would help improve community mental health services, including programs for veterans with service-related behavioral health conditions.
Close, who founded the mental health advocacy group Bring Change 2 Mind after learning her sister suffered from bipolar disorder, said the issue needs to emerge from behind closed doors.
Our passion is to make mental illness as easy to talk about as diabetes or cancer. Its part of the human condition to talk about it in whispers behind closed doors ... the truth is, the stigma is still huge, Close said.
The Excellence in Mental Health Act, co-sponsored by Sens. Debbie Stabenow, D-Mich., and Roy Blunt, R-Mo., would establish a 10-state demonstration project to fund mental health programs that meet strict quality-of-care standards and provide improved access to treatment.
It also would require the Veterans Affairs Department to work closer with community mental health providers and other specialists to treat troops and veterans with behavioral health problems.
Referring to the November stabbing of Virginia state senator and former gubernatorial candidate Creigh Deeds by his son during a mental health crisis, Stabenow said 24-hour access to emergency psychiatric services is a critical component of successful treatment.
Under the bill, participating states would have to offer round-the-clock services as a condition of receiving federal funding.
If there had been a place [for Austin Deeds] to go and people who knew what to do, it would have made all the difference, Stabenow said.
Austin Deeds committed suicide following the altercation with his father.
Barbara Van Dahlen, founder of Give An Hour, a nonprofit that runs a network of mental health professionals who donate their services, said the bill is important to veterans because it would help connect former troops with mental health resources other than VA.
What is critical about this legislation is one size does not fit all. Some veterans will seek wonderful care at VA. Others will seek care at an organization like ours. Many, many, many will seek care through the community health system. We have to have options, Van Dahlen said.
Retired Marine Lt. Col. Justin Constantine suffered from traumatic brain injury and post-traumatic stress disorder after he was shot in the head by a sniper in Iraq in 2006.
Seven years after his injury, he takes no medications for combat-related mental health issues but still sees a therapist every week, he said.
The counseling really helps. My wife can definitely tell if I skip a week of therapy. It is critical that we reduce the stigma attached to seeking behavioral health care because it does work, Constantine said.
Blunt and Stabenow predicted that the proposed legislation will pass the Senate in spring. They planned to meet with House counterparts to encourage consideration of the bill.
Among the veterans groups in favor of the legislation is Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America, one of the largest post-9/11 veterans advocacy groups, which pledged Wednesday to lobby for passage as well as others related to veterans mental health.
IAVA legislative director Alexander Nicholson said mental health will be a top priority for his group in 2014.
In 2013, the backlog [of VA claims] was our biggest issue. Next year, mental health, but especially veterans suicide, is going to be our biggest campaign issue, Nicholson said.
Close, Stabenow and Blunt urged the public to call their lawmakers and express support for the legislation. Noting that one in four Americans is touched by mental illness either having one themselves or a family member or friend with a mental diagnosis Close said its important for Washington representatives to know their constituents care about this issue.
Change is going to come on a grassroots level. ... People are just waiting for permission to start the conversation, she said.

"It will pay to clean the road one time, clear the sand and place it on the beach in accordance with Oregon state parks rules and regulations," said Morris. In the next few months, with the FEMA grant, they plan to clear the roadways, put the sand on the beach and plant it and stabilize it with jute mate and stabilize it. Still, this is not a final solution to the sand. Since this is a one time grant, the Bayshore community will have to come up with a different solution in future years. Morris said the Bayshore homeowner's association can create a dune management program, but it's ultimately in their hands. Morris says a dune management program has been successful in other communities, including Astoria and Cannon Beach.

Apparently Adidas isn't superstitious when it comes to not changing things heading into the postseason.
On Tuesday morning, the company revealed new uniforms for Baylor, Louisville and Cincinnati for the upcoming tournaments.
At first glance, the Cincinnati and Louisville ones are pretty solid. Louisville has the metallic gray that everyone seems to be wearing these days, although the stripes on the shorts don't really fit what "Cardinals" do. Cincinnati's stripes on the shorts make sense, since they're the "Bearcats" and all, and the black-on-black jersey and shorts look is nice.
And then we have Baylor. I would say it's a disaster, but some people like the really, really bright colors. So I'll say it's tough to look at for a long time. I personally prefer a hint of neon when it comes to uniforms. Either sneakers or socks -- but not the entire thing in a monochromatic neon.
First of all, they look like they glow in the dark. I'm not sure if it's a neon green, highlighter yellow, or something else. The Bears also have the stripes on the shorts, which in this case probably helps onlookers not gouge their eyes out. The best part? The neon socks and shoelaces. That really ties it all together.
Which new uniform do you think is the best?
Update: Apparently Baylor also had a black uniform released today (per a comment below). And it's awesome. Seriously. Check out the alternate here.

Most people who rely on the major sewage treatment plant in Broome County for service have been seeing spikes in their bills recently.
A majority of the 10 communities served by the Binghamton-Johnson City Joint Sewage Treatment Plant have either raised sewage rates, increased minimum annual charges or taken both steps over the past 12 months.
Typical customers are paying anywhere from $28 to $80 more per year because of the increases.
Because the communities make annual payments for service to the plants municipal owners the City of Binghamton and Village of Johnson City the primary factor in setting sewage rates is based on the plants steadily rising operational budget.
Each community makes payments based on a complex formula that includes factors such as usage, location and money spent to pump sewage to the treatment plant.
When they charge us, we have to pass that on to the customers, said Robert Wood, who oversees sewage billing for the Town of Union. There is no reserve, so its basically pay as you go.
Union hasnt raised sewage rates since 2009, when they jumped 13.6 percent after a 10 percent spike the prior year, and Wood said the town tries to avoid more substantial adjustments.
Its been a gradual increase, so it hasnt been that bad, said Wood, the towns computer operations manager.
Unions 644 sewage customers see annual costs about $510 based on a medium-usage household that fall roughly in the middle of the treatment plants 10 municipal users, according to figures compiled by the plants board in July.
Those July figures dont reflect some of the more recent rate spikes in several communities, where officials are catching up after holding off on hikes while bracing for major systemwide cost increases expected in 2013.
When they passed a 45 percent increase in sewage rates recently, Vestal town officials acknowledged part of the substantial jump stemmed from a failure to keep up with rising payments to the plant.
We should have been raising rates before to avoid the big spike, said Supervisor John Schaffer, noting the towns previous 17 percent rate hike came in 2009.
Vestal residents annual sewage cost before the hike about $339 per customer annually, based on medium-usage households were the lowest of the users, including the municipal owners Binghamton and Johnson City, where customers paid $449 and $410, respectively.
Even after Vestals new rate takes effect soon, adding at least $60 to an annual sewer bill, the town will remain near the bottom among plant users.
The plant also serves Port Dickinson and the towns of Kirkwood, Dickinson, Binghamton, Conklin and Fenton, and several homes in the Town of Chenango connected via Union. Binghamton University also receives service from the plant through a separate permit that bills the school based on the same criteria as municipal users.
Just under half of Vestals 6,400 metered customers are served by the village of Endicotts sewage treatment plant, but the towns rate hike applies to every customer.
State mandates
Like many other municipal officials involved in the joint treatment plant, Schaffer said the recent rate hike is also because of state-mandated upgrades to aging town-owned sewage pipes and infrastructure.
Vestals upgrades are part of the state Department of Environmental Conservation mandate for reforms to sewage infrastructure management, which came about during a statewide crackdown on sewage overflows.
To follow the initiative, the plant has prepared a flow management plan created over a four-year process costing nearly $1 million.
Although other municipalities have yet to determine how the mandate affects them, Vestal is already spending thousands of dollars on upgrades after problems were identified in its town-owned system.
The flow management plan is projected to add about $7 million to the $17 million that municipal users already pay for sewage treatment service. Much of the added cost stems from communities paying for extensive testing of piping and other infrastructure.
The changes to plant regulations and rules under the plan are expected to take effect in January, providing a better picture of how much each municipal user will pay.
The Town of Fentons 255 sewer customers pay the highest annual cost for service about $792 based on a medium-usage household.
Those figures reflect a 25 percent increase in the minimum sewer bill enacted in November 2011, along with an 86 percent jump in the sewage rate for usage beyond the average household, said Richard Bassler, town engineer.
Bassler said the town raised the rates in anticipation of the added costs for implementing the flow management plan, while also adjusting rates because large commercial users were driving up the costs for typical households.
We have to protect ourselves in case we get stuck with this huge amount of money (for the flow management plan), he said, adding the town would lower rates based on the added cost.
Members of the Binghamton-Johnson City Joint Sewage Board, which administers the plant, declined to comment for this report. The six-person board consists of members appointed by the municipal owners.
Adding to the concerns of rising costs, the plant also has been locked in several legal battles stemming from the discovery of widespread structural problems in 2011.
The outcome of the lawsuits, seeking more than $23.5 million combined, will play a role in avoiding other problems in the future.
Meanwhile, the Federal Emergency Management Agency is expected to reimburse the plant for $24.8 million in damages sustained in 2011 during Tropical Storm Lee. And plant officials are confident FEMA also will cover most if not all of about $12 million being spent on a flood protection system.
Billing errors
Some community officials continue to voice concerns about a state comptrollers audit of the plants 2008 fiscal year, which discovered $1.3 million in billing errors resulting in many municipal users getting overcharged.
Diane Marusich, a Village of Johnson City trustee, said plant officials and owners are working on plans to improve billing practices.
She noted the plant recently completed billing statements for 2008 through 2010, with delays stemming from an effort to address the audit findings.
It makes it difficult for everybody, Marusich said, adding flooding in 2011 also made it difficult to enact efforts to release billing information on time to municipal users.
The 2008 to 2010 billing figures released in October show many municipal users are still owed thousands of dollars connected to the three-year period.
The plant owes Vestal the most at $203,000, while Conklin is due just $724. Meanwhile, Binghamton owes the plant $182,000 based on the same period.
Typically, the outstanding amounts are settled through credit on future bills, but municipalities cant establish sewage rates based on those figures because data from 2011 and 2012 have yet to be completed.
We based (sewage rates) upon when the bill comes due every year, and we crunch the numbers and what it cost in the past, said Tom Delamarter, Conklins water and parks superintendent.
Its kind of a guessing game, but its always guaranteed that its going to go up, he said.
With the plants annual costs finalized after communities generally set their own budgets, Andrew Block, spokesman for the City of Binghamton, said adjustments to the amount municipal users owe to the plant are standard protocol.
Such inconsistencies are not uncommon because forecasting the exact costs is so difficult, he said, adding Binghamton doesnt anticipate raising sewage rates in 2013.

Bulimia (boo-LEE-me-uh) nervosa, commonly called bulimia, is a serious, potentially life-threatening eating disorder. People with bulimia may secretly binge — eating large amounts of food — and then purge, trying to get rid of the extra calories in an unhealthy way. For example, someone with bulimia may force vomiting or engage in excessive exercise. Sometimes people purge after eating only a small snack or a normal-size meal.
Bulimia can be categorized in two ways:
However, these behaviors often overlap, and the attempt to rid yourself of extra calories is usually referred to as purging, no matter what the method.
If you have bulimia, you're probably preoccupied with your weight and body shape. You may judge yourself severely and harshly for your self-perceived flaws. Because it's related to self-image — and not just about food — bulimia can be hard to overcome. But effective treatment can help you feel better about yourself, adopt healthier eating patterns and reverse serious complications.

Video: Listen: Confluence Prep Academy rap
By Dana Dean
ST. LOUIS (KSDK) - Hip-hop music is being used to motivate students to succeed in a St. Louis school thanks to a rapper turned role model.
At this inner city charter school, 9th graders are learning a formula. But this isn't a math class. This is a class on how to succeed.
These Confluence Prep. Academy students study a formula for success, not with the help of any textbook, but with the help of hip-hop?
Instructor Koran Bolden uses the music kids listen to outside class as his teaching tool inside of class. In Bolden's six week course, students write a positive hip hop song about their dreams.
"There needs to be more positive messages in the media since our kids are heavily influenced by it," said Bolden.
But he hasn't always had this perspective.
Eight years ago, Bolden signed a $150,000 deal with one of the most successful record labels in history, Def Jam.
The money went as quickly as it came.
"Ten-thousand dollar chains, and jewelry, and things like that," said Bolden.
But it was only a matter of months until he said his record deal faded. He went from being seen on MTV to working a minimum wage job.
"I was asking myself, 'Why me?'"
Bolden took a good listen to the music he was making and didn't like what he heard.
"It wasn't the message that I wanted to push out... I said, time for a change."
That's when Bolden said he started to turn his life around.
"I actually started getting involved in church."
And with newfound faith, Bolden opened a recording studio in the St. Louis Mills Mall - now called the St. Louis Outlet Mall.
"No profanity in my studio."
That, he said, is what got the attention of school administrators in the area.
"You can become anything that you want to become in life," he told students.
Motivational speaking engagements at schools turned into a motivational music program he calls Dream Success.
"I have a background from the urban community... since I made it out of that place, it's only right to go back where I came from," Bolden said.
Student get to record the song in Bolden's studio.
"The number one goal is get an education, take determination, and concentration."
The result is a catchy song about going to college.
"Books, academics, it's the key necessity to success," he said.

LAS CRUCES >> Three large Santa Teresa Country Club properties went unsold Monday morning at a public auction to recoup hundreds of thousands of dollars in unpaid taxes.
This is the second time in less than a year that the properties failed to sell at auction.
Mesilla resident Fred Haruda, a medical doctor, attempted to bid $20,000 for the three parcels. But state taxation officials said at least $672,000 -- the combined value of delinquent taxes for the three properties -- was needed and didn't accept the bid.
There were no other bidders.
Six other properties from various parts of the county were sold at auction to collect back-taxes.
State officials plan a second auction in October for the Santa Teresa Country Club properties that weren't sold Monday.
Haruda said he was disappointed his proposal wasn't accepted. He said he would've opened a restaurant at the country club and invested in the golf courses. That would have generated new tax revenue for the county and other economic benefits, he said.
"I was hoping by reopening the golf course and the restaurant to provide up to 100 jobs in Doña Ana County, as well as raise the property tax values of the surrounding neighborhood," he said, after the auction.
Now, Haruda said, the county has a "non-producing asset."
"They're sitting on a big chunk of property that isn't generating any money," he said.
Still, Haruda said he understands that state has its rules.
At least one other party interested in potentially buying the country club was believed to be in the audience but stayed silent during the auction.
Some 200 people attended the event, held at the Doña Ana County Government Center, 845 N. Motel Blvd.
Their options for purchasing were slim, thanks to taxes on a number of the parcels' having been paid in the last few days leading up to the auction. Out of a list of 135 properties initially published by the state, only nine were left at the 10 a.m. start Monday. Of those, three were the Santa Teresa Country Club's two golf courses and a parcel with a clubhouse and affiliated buildings.
Jeremiah Lay, a Las Cruces real estate agent, had been planning to bid on parcels that were removed from the list by Monday morning. Still, he was able to place a successful, $2,500 bid for a parcel of vacant land.
"I've done this a lot in other counties, so I pretty much know what to expect," said Lay, who also does real estate investment.
A large portion of the unpaid $672,000 would belong to Doña Ana County and state taxpayers, when it gets paid. It will be distributed to schools, county government and other entities that receive property tax revenues. The state would keep the interest and penalty money that's included in the sum.
State Taxation and Revenue Department spokesman S.U. Mahesh couldn't be reached for comment Monday.
Doña Ana County Treasurer David Gutierrez, who's tasked with overseeing tax bills in the county, attended Monday and had his eye on the outcome of the Santa Teresa Country Club land and buildings.
"It was kind of disappointing because I'd had a company that had been contacting me that was very interested in purchasing it," he said. "Hopefully, it will come up again next month."
A number of variables are spurring skepticism among would-be buyers. Among them are the possibility of other liens on the property, which a buyer would be liable for; the current condition of the grounds, which nearby residents have complained are deteriorating; and the chance for the properties to be redeemed by owner Greg Collins within a certain time frame after the auction, allowed under state law.
Some country club neighborhood residents have argued that the deteriorating condition of the country club grounds is hurting residential property values and goes against a larger push for economic development in Santa Teresa.
What's next?
Because the properties failed to sell, they remain in the hands of Collins, who hasn't responded to requests for an interview. In theory, Collins could still sell the land in a private transaction, and if the buyer paid the taxes, the parcels would be removed from the auction list.
If a particular property tax bill goes unpaid 10 consecutive years, it's scrubbed from the books, Gutierrez said. The Santa Teresa Country Club parcels have been delinquent since 2005, he said.
"So, in 2016, those taxes would start falling off," but it's only for one year each time, he said. "In 2016, the 2005 taxes would fall off."
So is it possible that delinquent property taxes could simply continue to go unpaid, absent a buyer at auction? Gutierrez said that's unlikely because the state does have a mechanism in statute to lower the asking price for the property at auction, after it has unsuccessfully attempted to get the full value of taxes owed.
"They may not get all the penalty and interest or taxes, but they can put it at a price where the property can sell," he said.

Hey everyone,
I'm looking to purchase my first PRS. Seller isn't sure if it is a 1998 or 2008 CE 22. He did say there is a 5-way toggle, but I can't seem to find specs for these years.
Anyone know offhand if either year or both have a 5-way toggle?

Lucy says...
My family is from South Wales and Welsh cakes or 'Pice ar y maen' were always a teatime favourite. This is the recipe my great-grandmother used to make with my mum and the tradition passed on to me. The taste of these warm, buttery cakes still brings back fond memories
- Tip the flour, sugar, mixed spice, baking powder and a pinch of salt into a bowl. Then, with your fingers, rub in the butter and lard until crumbly. Mix in the currants. Work the egg into the mixture until you have soft dough, adding a splash of milk if it seems a little dry – it should be the same consistency as shortcrust pastry.
- Roll out the dough on a lightly floured work surface to the thickness of your little finger. Cut out rounds using a 6cm cutter, re-rolling any trimmings. Grease a flat griddle pan or heavy frying pan with lard, and place over a medium heat. Cook the Welsh cakes in batches, for about 3 mins each side, until golden brown, crisp and cooked through. Delicious served warm with butter and jam, or simply sprinkled with caster sugar. Cakes will stay fresh in a tin for 1 week.

Comments, questions and tips
Simple to follow recipe, my first time of making welsh cakes though I have purchased and eaten them often when in Wales. The dough came together well without the need for additional liquid and using a smaller cutter I managed to get 23 'two bites and gone' cakes.
They were tasty but I will reduce the amount of sugar next time as I found them very sweet.
I changed nothing about this recipe aside from using all butter (I prefer it) and using 70g of sultanas instead of currants.
I only just managed to get 14 out of this mix, using an 8cm cutter, after rolling out the dough to approx. 1-1.5cm.
They were delicious, none survived the night, and they were eaten with a variety of things from butter, to jam, to ice cream.

My families have lived in the states for a few generation, but I grew up eating these!!
Delicious little cakes and so easy to make. I've made a few batches in the last week, and they don't last long! Everyone's gone crazy for them here!
I don't use lard, so I just doubled the butter. When recipes don't specify egg size, I go with medium, but I've found large works best for this. The finished dough was then moist enough that no extra liquids were needed.
Will definitely be making these again before too long. :)
Really lovely recipe. I used all butter as I didn't have lard. I used a small heart shape cutter (about 5cm across) and got about 20 out of this mixture. Will def. do again...children helped and it was easy for them. Served them hot, alongside cups of tea and sandwiches - made quite a substantial afternoon tea, the welsh cakes are very filling!
I made these for my colleagues in Australia, who have never come across Welsh cakes before. Total success! I used sultanas instead of currants (personal preference) and swapped the lard for coconut oil (it's more readily available here and I'd have to go vegetarian anyway).
The coconut oil didn't overpower the taste at all - it subtly complimented it and I'd recommend it for future use.
Just made these with my 2 children, easy to make, taste delicious and are quick enough to make that the kids don't get bored waiting for the results. We were munching on one as we finished cooking the last ones!!!
We used all butter as I don't keep lard in, will have to try half and half next time. We also used mixed fruit as didn't have just currants.
Can see us making these time and time again....
I made these welsh cakes and they were scrummy! I did change some of the ingredients though. I used self raising flour and left out the baking powder. I didn't use mixed spice, personally I prefer it without. I only used butter (double the amount to make up for the lard). I also replaced the currants with raisins. I cooked them on high in a frying pan for a short time on each side which left them moist on the inside but cooked on the outside.
I forgot to say that I made the dough in my food processor and the first time I added the currants before processing which resulted in them getting chopped quite small.
Next time I added the currants after processing.
Delicious both times but in fact they were so much easier to cut out the first time that that's my method of choice now!
Have followed this recipe a few times now and the results are always highly commended! I replace the lard with butter (so double butter) and the result is still lovely. Not the same as my Nain makes but excellent in their own way!
Would not recommend just doubling the ingredients to make more quantity, the results weren't as good. Just make up as many seperate batches as you need.
I can get up to 12 cakes out of 1 batch-I think 16 would be a bit optimistic!
My Welsh mother, grandmother and great grandmother never 'fried' these cakes in lard!! They should be dry baked on a lightly greased flat iron griddle over direct heat. Still have my grandmother's griddle.
Failing that, in a very thick frying pan on the top of the stove.
Keep the heat low and cook slowly and turn so as not to burn.
Use less mixed spice and top up with nutmeg for authentic flavour.
The best commercially available I've ever tasted have been Marks and Spencer's but they have slightly too much mixed spice and not enough nutmeg. And of course, they're not cooked by mum, hot off the stove.
I made three batches of these Welsh Cakes at the weekend for a Church Worship Group for Children and Adults with Learning Difficulties. They went down a storm and I have e-mailed the receipe onto a friend.
They are so easy to make and you can use any shape cutter to make them special for any occassion. I think I'll be using the Christmas Cutters soon!
