Apple 45W MagSafe 2 Power Adapter for MacBook Air
Use an extra adapter for home or work. The Apple 45W MagSafe 2 Power Adapter is made specifically for your MacBook Air. It's held in place magnetically, so if someone should trip over it, the cord disconnects harmlessly and your notebook stays put safely.
The 45W MagSafe 2 Power Adapter features a magnetic DC connector so if someone should trip over it, the cord disconnects harmlessly and your MacBook Air stays put safely. It also helps prevent fraying or weakening of the cables over time. In addition, the magneticDC helps guide the plug into the system for a quick and secure connection.
When the connection is secure, an LED located at the head of the DC connector lights up; an amber light lets you know that your notebook is charging, while a green light tells you that you have a full charge. An AC cord is provided with the adapter for maximumcord length, while the AC wall adapter (also provided) gives you an even easier and more compact way to travel.
Designed to be the perfect traveling companion, the adapter has a clever design which allows the DC cable to be wound neatly around itself for easy cable storage.
This power adapter recharges the lithium polymer battery while the system is off, on, or in sleep mode. It also powers the system ifyou choose to operate without a battery.
Compatible only with MacBook Air featuring MagSafe 2 power port.

then what is the result of getting?
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question
- Anybody can answer
- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
To be perfectly dry about it, the result of creating is either (a) there has been a(n act of) creation, or (b) there is now, in existence, a (new) creation. Describing the parallel conceptual relationships, the result of getting is either (a) a thing has been gotten, or (b) there is now, in my possession, a (new) thing. In the case of getting, these are concepts without single word signifiers. Sorry.
But I guess another way to answer your question is, "the result of getting is thing."
The result of creating is creation. The result of destructing is destruction. So if the result of giving is gift, the result of getting must be gett :-P
But seriously, the result of getting can be "get". Perhaps not in U.S. English, but it is certainly quite common in British and New Zealand slang. It is quite common to hear something like "what was your get?" meaning "how much money did you make?", although it is much more common to hear "what was your catch?" in reference to things gotten.
I mentioned "gett" in humour, so in all seriousness, I proffer "obtainment".
"Get" has a variety of meanings, for example "get drunk" means "become drunk" or "get upset" means "become upset". So in this case the result of a get is a "becoming". It can also mean "receive" as in "get a present" or "get a disease". The corresponding noun for "receive" is "receipt" but this noun also has other meanings. "Get" is also used in phrasal verbs, as in "get over it", "get on with it", etc.
I was always taught that "receive" is usually more preferable than "get," so I'd personally go with "reception."
Of course, we now have to decide what the act of getting reception is called. :)
I believe it's just "get." I know that word exists, at least. It usually refers to children, if memory serves me aright...or maybe it meant something like "ilk." I'm guessing that meaning is obsolete or it comes from "begetting", but that'd be my guess. :)

we have a very pleasent stay in the appartment from Alfonso and friends the location is perfect near the centre of Valencia an a supermarket as neighbours
is also very nice . organising a taxi for us in the middle of the nigh to go to the airport was not a problem.
My brother and I stayed in Alfonso's place for a week in August. We had a great experience there. When we arrived the apartment was perfect. There's WiFi, a TV, air conditioning etc. Everything you need really. We didn't meet Alfonso but the guy we were dealing with, Joserra, was really nice and helpful. I'd definitely recommend this apartment to people wanting to stay in Valencia.
We had a great time in our flat in Valencia. When we arrived Joserra was there (who speaks very good English) to help us on our feet. The flat is in the middle of the center with a metro close and the old city on a walkable distance. Furthermore we had contact with them all week they helped us with every question we had.
Thanks for the great stay!
We had a very good stay in Valencia.
The appartment is very well situated and well equipped.
Alfonso is a good host and take care of his guest.
we had a good experience and we felt like home.
Thank you for our stay, and we would come back without any doubt.
Very nice appartment in the city center of Valencia. Everything you need is available in the appartment like airco, wifi, towels and a all the materials to cook a nice meal. The location is perfect with all the nice places in walking distance. The beach can be reached by metro in 20 minutes.
Alfonso is a very nice and helpful host. I would recommend everybody to stay at this place when they visit Valencia.
This summer we stayed in this apartment for eight days. When we arrived Alfonso was there to welcome us. The apartment is located close to the city centre and close to a metro stop. It was in a quiet and clean building. The apartment itself was also very clean and looked really nice (as the pictures also show). There were towels and bedsheets and there was a supermarket next to the building, which was all very useful. If we had a problem or if we wanted some information about Valencia we could contact Alfonso and he replied immediately. Overall we had a very pleasant staying here and we would really recommend this apartment!
El apartamento es muy apropiado para estancias en Valencia. Bien comunicado, servicios a pie de calle, centrico y muy bien atendidos por el equipo de direccion, que estuvieron pendientes de nosotros en todo momento para saber si todo era de nuestro agrado
Hemos tenido la ocasión de disfrutar de unos días en Valencia y el hecho de estar alojadas con unos anfitriones como Alfonso, Joserra y Jesús ha sido también toda una suerte. Son gente realmente hospitalaria, profesional y eficiente.
El apartamento es acogedor, limpio y muy bien cuidado. La ubicación también es excelente.
Die Unterkunft in Valencia war gut vom Flughafen zu erreichen. Die Lage der Unterkunft war super. Die Altstadt war um die Ecke, Einkaufmöglichkeiten waren genügend vorhanden und die Metro-und Busstation waren ebenfalls nicht weit entfernt. Der Kontakt zu Alfonso und Joserra war perfekt. Sie waren stets ansprechbar und erreichbar. Die Unterkunft war sauber und für uns groß genug. Die Sauberkeit war jedoch nur oberflächlich. Denn wir haben in den Ecken, an den Türen (Griffe) dann doch Verschmutzungen und Spiunnweben entdecken können. Leider sind uns im Laufe der Zeit noch weitere Sachen aufgefallen, die die Bewertung niedriger machen. Zu einem waren einige Möbel in einem nicht so gutem Zustand. Das Sofa war schon etwas defekt, die unteren Schubladen in der Küchenzeile konnte man nur bewegen, wenn man die obere Schublade anhob. Wir suchtenv vergeblich ein Sieb und einen Quirl. Ebenso war uns ein großes Brettchen zu wenig. Ebenso waren zwei Herdplatten auch zu gering, Die Unterkunft war uns zu laut. Obwohl das Schlafzimmer nach hinten raus ging, haben wir trotzdem Geräusche von den Menschen gehört, die über uns wohnten. Auch die Pumpe der Toilette, die neben dem Schlafzimmer war, war sehr laut, auch mitten in der Nacht. Leider konnten wir kein Fenster nachts öffnen, da uns jetzt schon die Mücken den Schlaf geraubt haben. Für die Mücken kann natürlich keiner was, aber ein kleiner HInweis, dass man damit Probleme hat, hätte uns schon gereicht. Somit kann ich die Unterkunft nur bedingt weiterempfehlen.
La casa estaba muy bien y equipada con todo lo necesario. Los dueños son muy amables y agradables.

You can render anything to the grid or you can insert a record into the grid at index zero. I would render my own component or just element personally.Mitchell Simoens @LikelyMitch

Thanks for the reply. I need the functionality/behaviour across all the pages in my application, hence extending the grid component may be the solution which i need to pursue. Since i am new to ExtJS developement i am not sure how to accomplish this. I have read some articles on how to inherit components, but i am not able to find which property/method needs to be called inorder to insert the new row. Any suggestions would be highly appreciated.
By the way, since this row is not part of the actual records, i am not sure whether adding to index 0 will be ideal.

A subheader can be achieved by adding a second columns:[] configuration under each item in your columns structure. I use this for just one header in my grid (which has three subheaders) but I am sure it is applicable to each column:
Example being:
columns: { items:[{ header: 'First', sortable: false, dataIndex: 'fname' },{ header: '# of Pets', id: 'numPets', columns:[ { text: 'Cats', id: 'cats', menuDisabled: true, dataIndex: 'catsnum' width: 60 },{ header: 'Dogs', id: 'dogs', menuDisabled: true, dataIndex: 'dogsnum', width: 50 },{ header: 'Fish', id: 'fish', menuDisabled: true, dataIndex: 'fishnum', width: 75 }] },{ header: 'Address', sortable: true, dataIndex: 'address', width: 30 }] }

TYSABRI® (tie–SA–bree)
Read the Medication Guide given to you before you
start T YSABRI and before each infusion. There may
be new information. This Medication Guide does not
take the place of talking to your doctor about your
medical condition or your treatment. Ask your doctor
or nurse if you have any questions.
What is the most important information I
should know about TYSABRI?
• T YSABRI increases your chance of getting a rare
brain infection that usually causes death or
severe disability. This infection is called
progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy
(PML). If PML happens, it usually happens in
people with weakened immune systems.
• No one can predict who will get PML.
• There is no known treatment, prevention, or cure
for PML.
• Your chance of getting PML may be higher if you
are also being treated with other medicines that
can weaken your immune system, including other
treatments for Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and Crohn's
disease (CD). You should not take certain
medicines that weaken the immune system at the
same time you are taking TYSABRI. Even if you
use TYSABRI alone to treat your MS or CD, you
can still get PML.
• Your chance of getting PML increases if you have
been exposed to JCV. JCV is a common virus that
is harmless in most people but can cause PML in
people who have weakened immune systems,
such as people taking Tysabri. Most people who
are exposed to JCV do not know it or have any
symptoms. This exposure usually happens in
• If you have been exposed to JCV, your chance ofgetting PML increases even more if:- You have received TYSABRI for a long time,especially longer than 2 years- You have received certain medicines that canweaken your immune system before you startreceiving TYSABRI.
Your doctor may do a blood test to check if you
have been exposed to JCV before you start
receiving T YSABRI or during your treatment. There
may be other risk factors for getting PML during
Tysabri treatment that we do not know about yet.
• Your risk of getting PML is greatest if you have all 3
risk factors listed above. Your doctor should
discuss the risks and benefits of T YSABRI treatment
with you before you decide to receive T YSABRI.
• TYSABRI is available only through a restricted
distribution program called the TOUCH® Prescribing
Program. In order to receive T YSABRI, you must
talk to your doctor and understand the benefits
and risks of TYSABRI and agree to all of the
instructions in the TOUCH® Prescribing Program.
• If you take TYSABRI, it is important that you call
your doctor right away if you get any new or
worsening medical problems (such as a new or
sudden change in your thinking, eyesight, balance,
or strength or other problems) that have lasted
over several days. Tell all of your doctors that you
are getting treatment with TYSABRI.
See "What are the possible side effects with
TYSABRI?" for other serious side effects with
What is TYSABRI?

• Call your doctor who prescribes TYSABRI right away
to report any medical problems that keep getting
worse and last several days.

hours of the start of the infusion, but they can
happen at any time after receiving TYSABRI.
• Tell your doctor or nurse right away if you have any
symptom of an allergic reaction, even if it happens
after you leave the infusion center. You may need
treatment if you are having an allergic reaction.
• Liver damage. T YSABRI may cause liverdamage. Symptoms can include:- yellowing of the skin - unusual darkeningand eyes (jaundice) of the urine- nausea - feeling tired or weak- vomitingBlood tests can be done to check for liverdamage.

Matthew Sanders: Imploding trust in America's institutions
Pablo Martinez Monsivais, AP
Three major scandals exploded onto the scene in Washington this past week escalating into a perfect storm that involves money, media and security.
Evidence and outrage continue to mount concerning the IRS' unconscionable targeting of conservative and religious groups during the run up to the 2012 presidential election. The president has excused the tax agency's director, and congressional committees seek even more accountability.
The justice department sought to excuse its brazen, secret gathering of Associated Press phone records as a justifiable effort to plug leaks that threaten security. Yet, the department's head, Eric Holder, claims to know nothing about such an extraordinary First Amendment incursion.
Whistleblowers and newly released emails have reignited the debate over the Obama administration's handling of the attack on the American consulate in Benghazi, Libya, last fall. The new evidence calls into serious question the talking points delivered by the administration that blamed the attacks on a YouTube video rather than terrorism. That the obfuscation took place during election season is particularly troubling.
With Republicans sensing blood in the water and Democrats panicking, the American public can expect a constant barrage of finger pointing and shrill hyperbole. While the current outrage is justified, neither party is free of blame for the confidence crisis — where trust in key institutions has been sliding for 20 years.
According to a Gallup tracking poll that measures trust in government, 81 percent of respondents think government does what is right only part of the time or never. When extrapolated, it means that more than 190 million adults distrust government.
Now take the news media, a self-proclaimed watchdog of government waste and excess. When asked about mass media to report news fairly and accurately, 60 percent of respondents also strongly distrust — which represents more than around 140 million adults.
What about banks? Gallup's data show banks have also suffered a confidence drop of more than 50 percent in the past decade, suffering a low of only 21 percent in 2012. So, around 186 million adults lack confidence in banks.
When looked at by political affiliation, both parties place most trust in the military, while neither trust Congress. They express similar confidence in small business, the health system, religion and the judiciary. But they predictably diverge when it comes to news media, police, big business, organized labor and the current presidency. Interestingly, only the military, small business and organized religion garner more than 50 percent trust from both parties.
The three converging scandals plunge the executive branch into disrepute, which is a failure paid for by all Americans. It will surely accelerate America's eroding trust and build cynicism in a generation of young people already shaken by recession and global volatility.
So, what is to be done by you and me? What can we, so far from the halls of power, do as responsible citizens to help reshape America yet again into a nation that inspires the world?
Shaping America's institutions
First, we must remember the nature of government. Government overreach is predictable. Based on mountains of historical evidence, we know that power corrupts, and government, even with the best of intent, will push its bounds.

12 Apostles from Camps Bay Beach – Flickr pic of the day
This photograph of visitors relaxing on the Camps Bay rocks was taken by our Cape Town. Live it. Love it. group member gerardobuttner.
Gerard says, "Camps Bay on a summer's evening is a perfect spot for Capetonians and visitors to enjoy the sunset with the western side of Table Mountain as backdrop (from this side also known as the Twelve Apostles)."

A brief look into a course offered here in fall, 2014 through our CAPA education center for the advancement of public action.
Copy to share:
President Coleman delivered the closing speech at the 25th annual TED Conference in February 2009, anchoring a lineup that included Al Gore, Bill Gates, Oliver Sacks, and Herbie Hancock. TED brings together the world's most fascinating thinkers and doers, challenging them to give the talk of their lives in 18 minutes. In her talk, President Coleman delivered a call-to-arms for radical reform in higher education.
Move into new domains, ask the right questions, observe. Bennington students and fellows share seven capacities that will help individuals shape a better world.
How is building a chair like working in government? Where does a movement in music intersect with a social movement? Why does solving climate change involve more than the study of the environment? Bennington students describe the intersections.
During an annual seven-week internship period, called Field Work Term, Bennington students are able to bring their studies to the world, confronting the challenges of implementation firsthand and refining their questions to further shape their on-campus experiences.
The Center for the Advancement of Public Action (CAPA) is a state-of-the-art, green, academic facility that morphs the studio of the artist, the laboratory of a scientist, the workshop of a craftsman, and the think tank of a policy wonk. Designed by award-winning architects Tod Williams and Billie Tsien, the Center opened in June 2011.

Second Amendment deserves protection
January 26, 2013
Surely liberals in the state Senate do not think Ohioans are gullible enough to accept "trust us" assurances their rights are not being violated. Buckeye State residents know bette....
Paranoia Paranoia Paranoia....AUTOMATIC WEAPONS were not part of the thinking with the 2nd Amendment. You want to use automatic weapons, join the military and go on the front line and be on the receiving end of one whizzing past you. Its funny how you have gun ho militias claiming to be readying for invasion, yet they will not join the military to defend this country...cowards and the people who fall for it.

WOW! Thank you so much! I just saw on Amazon that my eBook is the #1 Best Seller in Photography Lighting category. Words can't even begin to describe the emotions that I'm feeling.
When I decided to write this book, I was a bit hesitant. I knew that it was going to take a lot of time and effort but would it all be for nothing? I didn't want to write a book just to say, "I wrote a book." I honestly wanted to write the book that I've been searching for. It could be the BEST book ever written, if no one knows about it, it's useless. My other fear is having a book that no one knows about. I have no marketing budget.
So today I want to thank you for all of you who've made this possible by blogging about it, sharing it on your Facebook wall, telling a friend, or even just buying it as a gift. It feels so rewarding to know that this book will not just die on the "shelf."
Please continue to help spread the word. I truly truly truly appreciate it. If you could review/rate it for me on Amazon that would be wonderful too.
PS. The paperback looks much better than the eBook, but I'll take the eBook being the #1 Best Seller. Is it wishful thinking to want the paperback to get on the Best Seller list too? =)

Catholic and Orthodox Churches are often named after saints because we believe in the communion of Saints and like to put our congregations under some sort of patronage.
I've seen Episcopal churches named after St. Francis and St. Dunstan and I'd imagine there are quite a few named after the various awesome Saxon saints.
And I've seen Lutheran Churches named after Biblical Saints (John, Mark, Luke etc...)
But I've never seen any traditions in Protestantism (not that it's a thing) that violate this rule are there any?

Hot on the heels of Joy Behar's big exit announcement comes an Us Weekly report that says Elisabeth Hasselbeck will not be on The View when next season rolls around.
Behar, 70, said Thursday she's leaving the show in August after more than 16 years.
Hasselbeck, 35, joined the cast of the daytime talk show in November 2003 after guest-hosting following Lisa Ling's departure in 2002.
Us Weekly says "the show's resident conservative voice is being ousted after market research revealed that she isn't popular with TV audiences." Us cites Hasselbeck's argument with Rosie O'Donnell in 2007 over the war in Afghanistan and another with Barbara Walters over Mitt Romney in 2012.
The celeb site says Hasselbeck was told "yesterday her contract would not be renewed."
But not so fast.
Hasselbeck hasn't commented on twitter, but ABC says in a statement to USA TODAY, "Elisabeth Hasselbeck is a valued member of The View and has a long term contract."

The custom is that the gabbai announces the time of the Molad during the course of "Bircas HaChodesh" on Shabbos Mevorchim. What is the purpose of this? The molad is anyhow not directly connected to the Rosh Chodesh of any month except Tishrei (which, ironically, has no Bircas HaChodesh at all!).
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question

Shaar Hakollel (26:7) writes that our "blessing of the month" is modeled on the prayer that the Sanhedrin would recite when they declared a new month, described in Maseches Sofrim 19:9. Thus, we should know the molad before we recite this prayer, just as they did.
Homiletically, R' Shalom Dovber Schneersohn (the fifth Lubavitcher Rebbe) said that the expression נכון לידע המולד קודם שמברכין החדש ("it is proper to know the molad before blessing the month") means: before "blessing" ("sanctifying") a "new way" (חָדָשׁ) in the service of Hashem, "we need to know what it was 'born' from."
Look in Ta'amei Haminhogim 433 (3) which quotes the Sha'ar Ephrayim, who seems to explain that the exact time of the molad is when the name of the new month starts.

I have been given an assignment from my school, in wich I have been given a Virtual image of a compromised system. The first thing I need to do is setup a environment to wich we can mount the image. I need to choose an OS, and I was wondering: What should I choose, and why? If anyone could give me any pointers I should look out for, it would be much appreciated! Thanks
closed as off-topic by Adi, TildalWave, GdD, Steve, Iszi Feb 10 '14 at 19:50
This question appears to be off-topic. The users who voted to close gave this specific reason:
I would go for Kali Linux .
This Linux distribution is made for pentesting and security analysis. It contains a great many analysis tools, right in your main menu.
In general, I would use an Open Source OS for security-related work, because with Open Source there is public scrutiny that your tools themselves are not compromised.
The SANS sift kit/workstation (http://digital-forensics.sans.org/community/downloads) is very good if you're looking to learn about forensics, as it comprises things like autopsy and other open source tools which are commonly used. Little extra: http://www.forensicswiki.org/wiki/Main_Page this page helps A LOT when you're getting used to things.
When I was at university I used Backtrack Linux a LOT. It has a lot of forensics (and live forensics) tools preinstalled and it is designed to be used for these purposes - (albeit it is probably most famous for nefarious hacking and spying on suspected cow tippers etc)
It depends on the tool you choose. Forensic tools like Autopsy can run on several different operating systems. They can parse the filesystem of the image you've been given, and show you the contents of the files. If such a tool is written in Java, you can run it on Windows, Mac, or Linux.
In forensic work, you are not necessarily trying to "run" the software from the image. You often are simply looking at the files you collect from the system, and piecing together what happened based on file contents, file system attributes such as last-accessed-time, creator ID, etc. If you were to mount the file system in the OS and run programs that accessed those files, your own investigative activity would likely hide the very clues you are seeking to uncover.
But sometimes you won't have much of a choice. If you discover a file named foo.docx, a simple text editor will show you very little, and you will likely need to use Word to view it. That creates another problem: what if the file you're trying to examine contains a virus? Opening it in Word on your computer could subject you to exactly the same problems as the victim computer image you're looking at. In that case, you need to learn to use a virtual machine as a sandbox.
If you're comfortable with Linux, consider using Caine or Deft.
Both are distroes meant for forensics use, which means that by default they don't do anything that may modify the data, such as automatically mounting filesystems or activating swaps.
They also contain a lot of useful tools for the job.

Xgaming Two Player Arcade With Trackball For Any Computer for $159 + free shipping
It's just like being at the arcade, minus the mysterious stickiness and gym socks full of quarters.
14 Comments add a comment
Cant jusify :(
@tsfisch: ditto... :(
If the console adapters weren't $59 each (well, $59 for the 360- some others are cheaper), I think I COULD justify it. That's just too much for an adapter.
Cool, also one without the trackball for $69. So, $99-ish for 2 Player PS3 Arcade.
@bearete: thx! got the $70 one without trackball + $10 shipping.
The trackball adds $90 to the price which I couldn't justify for me..
What two-player game uses one trackball?
@mrgrogg: Almost all arcade games that use a trackball are single player. The others are normally like golf or bowling titles, games where you take turns.
@mrgrogg: One of those golf or bowling games like they have in bars?
These are built really really well.
I got one of these and built a sort of arcade machine using a 10 year old laptop and a cheap used monitor for my family. I found a torrent file online with like 1000+ old arcade, nintendo, sega, etc. games.
I sprang for the one with the trackball just so I could play marble madness :)
I've had one of these for years. I use it on a dedicated MAME computer. Wonderful controller.
totally a YMMV, but we bought one of these for an arcade machine we were building for our organization. Worked fine for about a year, then it stopped working for some reason. Customer support was helpful in identifying the problem, but it took nearly 2 months to get them to ship the replacement part (first excuse was "must have gotten lost in the mail" then the other was from a different agent who needed us to go through the troubleshooting process again, and took weeks to return my emails). When it works, its great, just sometimes you need to tighten the buttons (don't really know how else to describe the fix) and ours had a soldering issue in the USB connection.
@mrgrogg: What two-player game uses two trackballs? I can't think of a two-player trackball game where both players play at the same time...
Atari Football uses two trackballs but it would be awkward to play that in non-cocktail setup.
Bought one of these 4 years ago to put in a mame cabinet. Works awesome.
Thanks! Ended up buying the $70 one. I've been wanting one of these for ages. :)

Earlier this month I heard a fascinating talk by Facebook's Alan Cannistraro at iOSDevUK, in which he shared his thoughts around the next big developments in technology. One aspect of his talk has been bobbling around in my head ever since, and it's this aspect that I'd like to explore further in this post.
Alan talked about the relevance of physical context when considering a given set of devices. Specifically, he noted that there will always be convergence towards a single device within a given physical context. Here's the example he used to explain what this means in practice.

text: "Next, try this little drill: I have the athlete stand arms length from a door knob. Grab the handle with both hands and get your chest "up." Up? I have the athlete imagine being on a California beach when a swimsuit model walks by. Immediately, the athlete puffs up the chest which tightens the lower back and locks the whole upper body. The lats naturally spread a bit and the shoulders come back "a little." Now, lower yourself down. What people discover at this moment is a basic physiological fact: the legs are NOT stuck like stilts under the torso. Rather, the torso is slung between the legs. As you go down, leaning back with arms straight, you will discover one of the true keys of lifting: you squat between your legs. You do not fold and unfold like an accordion; you sink between your legs."

Sorry fellas, 2012 has been declared the "Year of the Girl."
The slogan was created by the Girl Scouts to mark the 100th anniversary of the organization, which was founded by Juliette Gordon Low in Savannah, Ga. on March 12, 1912.
Along with the centennial celebration, here in Louisville, Girl Scouts of Kentuckiana will host its sixth annual Desserts First, which has arrived just in time for the three-month-long cookie season continuing through March 18.
The popular event features a competition among local chefs who will create original desserts and hors d'oeuvres using Girl Scout Cookies as the key ingredient.
"I actually went and visited (a Desserts First event) in Detroit and thought we could maybe do this and do it better," said Suzy Gessner, director of development of Girl Scouts of Kentuckiana. "This event is for adults. We have young professionals that come and we sell corporate tables. We've even had people (come) on their first dates before. It's a time to leave the kids at home and enjoy Girl Scouts all grown up."
Desserts First will be held from 5:30 to 8 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 26, at The Kentucky International Convention Center, 221 S. 4th St.
Those who attend will be able to taste the various Girl Scout cookie-inspired creations of chefs from such restaurants and businesses as Jack Fry's, Bakery Cafe, Consumers Choice Coffee and Sweet Surrender.
The winner of best dessert will receive the Golden Whisk award, while the Golden Grater award will be given to the best hors d'oeuvre.
Papalino's, BoomBozz Pizza and other local eateries will also compete for the Golden Wheel award, the prize for this year's new pizza category.
Marty Rosen, food writer for The Courier-Journal, Megan Malone, blogger of www.megabiteslouisville.com, and Ann Evans, executive director of the Kentucky Governor's Mansion, will participate as the evening's judges. The three will select the winner of each category, while the public will also vote for the People's Choice Award for favorite dish.
"You'd be surprised on some of the hors d'oeuvres," Gessner said. "We've had everything from lamb rolled in Samoa cookies to chicken saté that had Do-si-dos peanut butter filling and a Samoa coffee drink."
Desserts First will offer a cash bar and silent auction that will include tickets to sporting events, getaway packages and memorabilia.
To commemorate the 100th anniversary of Girl Scouts, Desserts First will also give away a pearl necklace from Haas Jewelers valued at $1,000 to one lucky winner in honor of Girl Scout founder Low having sold her valuable necklace of rare matched pearls in order to finance operations of Girl Scouts in the early days.
"The main thing is to raise awareness and to connect with our community," said Lora Tucker, CEO of Girl Scouts of Kentuckiana and retired U.S. Army colonel. "It's an incredible event and fun event, and (Girl Scout) Cookies really allow girls to do great things. (Girl Scouts) was without a doubt one of the cornerstones of my life. I had the opportunity to come back to my home state and lead this council after leading incredible young Americans, and now I'm trying to make a difference in our girls here in Kentucky."
Tickets for Desserts First are $50 per person; $1,000 for corporate tables of 10. Proceeds will benefit Girl Scouts of Kentuckiana, which serves more than 23,000 girls and 6,700 adult members in 64 counties.
For reservations and information, visit www.gskentuckiana.org or call 502.636.0900.
Recipe of Past Desserts First Gold Whisk Award Winner
Salted Caramel Coconut Tart
By Stacey Borah, Sweet Surrender Dessert Cafe
Ingredients for all components
- 2 boxes of Samoas
- 1 3/4 cups coconut
- 2 large eggs
- 1 qt cream
- 1 1/4 cups sugar
- ½ tsp vanilla
- 14 oz bittersweet chocolate (small pieces)
- 1/8 tsp coarse salt
Preheat oven to 350
Spray 2 to 10" cake pans with non-stick spray and line them with plastic wrap, making sure that the plastic is as smooth as possible and there are no large air bubbles.
Make the cookie base:
Place 2 entire boxes of Samoa Girl Scout cookies (minus a few for garnish) in the food processor. Process until fine and sandy with the appearance of graham cracker crumbs. Press crumbs into first prepared pan and bake until set, about 10 minutes. Cool on wire rack.
Make the sponge:
(adapted from "Simply Sensational Desserts" by Francois Payard):
- 2 large eggs (room temperature)
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 3/4 cups dried shredded coconut
Put the eggs and sugar in a bowl (or in a stand mixer) and whisk on high until it has tripled in volume. Then, using a rubber spatula, gently fold in the coconut. Spread in an even layer in the second prepared cake pan and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until it is light golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean. Cool on wire rack.
Make the caramel:
- 2 1/3 cups heavy cream
- ½ cup sugar
- ½ teaspoon vanilla
Place cream and sugar in the largest heavy bottomed sauce pan that you own. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cook until thick and caramel colored, stirring very frequently. This mixture just loves to boil over, hence using the largest pan you own. Once it is thick and a medium caramel color, remove from stove and cool.
Make the ganache:
- 14 oz bittersweet chocolate
- 1 2/3 cup cream
Place chocolate in a large bowl. Heat cream to a boil, then immediately pour boiling cream over the chocolate. Whisk until smooth and cohesive. Chill until thick but still pliable.
Leave your baked cookie base in its original plastic lined pan, and spread some cooled caramel over it in a thick, even layer. Sprinkle 1/8 teaspoon of coarse salt over the caramel, making sure to spread it as evenly as possible. Take the coconut sponge layer out of its plastic (carefully) and press it on the caramel layer. Then spread an even layer of ganache over that. Finally, take any extra caramel and ganache and drizzle them over the top.
Place the tart in the freezer for roughly an hour, until it chills and is set. Then gently tug on the plastic wrap to release it from the pan. Discard plastic wrap and place tart on serving dish. Makes 16 generous servings.

Thank you to everyone who listened to our podcast. We really want to hear from you so please send us your feedback via email, twitter or facebook!
Is it going to be open source or Microsoft open source.... like just Microsoft Code?
But open.
Microsoft can put out more code inside the legal structure of the foundation.
Microsoft Partners and companies can develop frameworks to help people solve problems and also as a way to funnel then in to also buying the more advanced version of thier product.
Also interoperability.
With cloud and service bus, rest capabilities, windows 7 and windows 7 mobile coming there is going to be a huge new canvas to develop apps. This is a vehicle to get more stuff built ontop of it all and spark more innovation on the platform.
I might be in the clouds with this one but they are seeing that the desktop is not the battleground, Microsoft wants to own the pipes.
"the network is the computer"
Someone asked Wayne Gretzky how he played so good for so many years
"I skate to where the puck is going to be, not where it has been."
in this S+S world that is coming theres alot of things that need to built within it and ontop of it.
They are giving out their tools and servers for free to students and startups via Bizspark and they need people to build software and services with them so they can beat the other guys.
But even more than that... everyone won when we standardized on the windows desktop and people could make money by just developing for windows. as opposed to having versions on OSn - OSx.
they want you to say "the windows network is the computer"

'Impeach Obama' billboard 'not meant to allege any impeachable offense.'
Wisconsin newspaper The Northwestern reports that a local company recently rented a billboard calling for President Obama's impeachment. The billboard, which is located on highway 41, reads, "Impeach Obama: America's Small businesses are failing; help us spread the message." However, a lawyer representing the company admitted that Obama has committed no impeachable offense:
It was paid for by an unnamed company represented by Tom Wroblewski. In a memo to the media Monday, Wroblewski said the company's sentiment is that Washington politics are bad for small businesses. He says despite the billboard's language, he's not suggesting Obama committed an impeachable offense.
"The company (that paid for the billboard) is supported by a number of area businessmen who are concerned about tax and spend politics. The billboard is not meant to allege any impeachable offense has been committed; It is simply an expression of frustration by my client that politics in Washington should change to better support small businesses," Wroblewski said in a written statement.
After receiving a number of complaints, Wroblewski tried to defect any criticism saying "it's nothing personal." "We represent a group of small-business owners" and "organized the company and solicited the contract on their behalf," he said, adding, "My instructions from my clients are not to disclose their identity." The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports that the billboard, which went up on Thursday, will stay there "for at least six months, at a cost of $1,000 a month."

He and companion Jaclyn McCaffrey bonded in the buff in Nicaragua.
Menaced by prowling pumas and poisonous snakes, Indialantic, Florida resident Adam Young survived nighttime temperatures in the 40s deep in the mountainous jungle of Nicaragua for weeks, catching and chewing crabs, snails, an earthworm and a lizard.
Buck naked.
The 29-year-old coach at Maverick CrossFit in Melbourne, Florida, starred in Sunday night's episode of Naked and Afraid on Discovery Channel.
Young lost 25 pounds during the three-week ordeal. He formed a bond with his unclothed female partner, Jaclyn McCaffrey, a 25-year-old spiritual vegetarian from Arizona.
"Meeting a complete stranger butt naked for the first time: It's a little weird. But I'm really focusing on the task at hand," Young told a cameraman at the start of the challenge.
The nude duo received a primitive map of the vicinity, a large knife and a fire-starting kit. Dropped off in the jungle about 2,500 feet above sea level near a 150-foot waterfall, they fashioned a crude shelter from vegetation and huddled together at night for warmth.
A few nights later, they heard a puma growling nearby — much to their alarm. Young discovered large paw prints after daybreak and fashioned a spear-like defensive weapon.
The sleep-deprived survivalists later moved their camp into a cave that was infested with hundreds of spiders and insects.
Young nearly stepped on a fer-de-lance, a highly venomous pit viper. He killed the deadly snake, chopped off its head, gutted and skinned it, cooked it over fire and ate it — "now we've got supper," he remarked.
Last year, a Naked and Afraid producer nearly had his foot amputated after he was bitten by a fer-de-lance while scouting locations in Costa Rica. Much of his flesh rotted off his foot, and he endured multiple surgeries and skin grafts.
McCaffrey batted dehydration and finally ate meat to ward off starvation on Day 17. How? They captured, cooked and shared a small lizard that had the protein equivalent of one chicken nugget. She lost 18 pounds in three weeks.
"You know, as tough as this challenge is, I feel like Jaclyn and I did well. I think there was genuine care for each other throughout this. And I think we're walking away with a bond that not many other people can say that they have," Young told a cameraman at adventure's end.
"My mind's saturated with all kinds of new things. It's OK to kind of get in touch more with my spiritual side. That really wasn't something I did much," he said.
Young was selected for the show in January — though his mother wondered aloud, "Can't you find a survival show where they keep their clothes on?" He got shipped into the heart of Nicaragua in early March for filming.
To prepare for his au naturel adventure, Young practiced primitive camping skills on Florida's Indian River Lagoon spoil islands; trained at Maverick CrossFit five days per week; consumed junk food to beef up from 180 to 185 pounds; and read about polar explorer Ernest Shackleton's survival adventures in Antarctica.
"I'm not a nude guy, by any means. The longest I'd been nude is changing out of the shower or something like that. It's awkward at first. There's no way around it," Young said.
"But to be honest, that kind of stuff quickly goes out the window when you're worried about, 'What am I going to eat? Where am I going to find something to drink?'" he said.
Naked and Afraid airs Sundays at 10 p.m. Eastern on Discovery.

Emergencies can happen anywhere at any time, and can include everything from severe weather to a fire. Preparing yourself for an urgent situation is vital to how you handle an actual emergency. Take time to review this material on emergency preparedness and safety in order to work out scenarios of your own.
As every emergency is different and may impose its own set of circumstances, it is important that during the emergency you follow the instructions of Public Safety officers, first responders, and University officials.
To report a campus emergency at NYU in New York City contact NYU's Public Safety Department at 212-998-2222 or the NYPD or NYFD at 911. For emergency information at other sites around NYU's global network, contact the site director.
Communication before, during and after an event is perhaps the single most important service that maximizes a high level of community preparedness. Frequent, accurate and timely communication helps to reassure the community and connect them with the team guiding them through the emergency.
The University communicates primarily via electronic media, including:
Text alerts will be used to advise members of the community of time-sensitive information. If you have an NYU ID, you will automatically get these alerts. If there have been changes to your cell phone number or email, click here for instructions on how to update these.
In the event of power or network outages in New York City, the University will augment its electronic communication for people who live on or near campus in the following ways:
The Student Affairs Resident Assistant team will be the primary source of non‐electronic information for students in residence halls.
Additional means of communicating University closures with members of our community in New York City and the tri-state area will be through radio stations: 1010WINS, AM 880 CBS, FM 89.1 WNYU.
During an emergency, NYU's emergency hotline 212-998-1220 will be activated and will have recorded information. In the event of a prolonged emergency, it will be staffed to answer questions and concerns. For emergency information at other sites around NYU's global network, contact the site director.

Suppose each day there is a $0.2$ probability will rain in the morning. $P(\text{rains afternoon}|\text{rain morning})=0.6$ and $P(\text{rains afternoon}|\text{not rain morning})=0.3$. Suppose John would go to the office in the morning and leave in the afternoon and he totally get 3 umbrellas. Let $X_n$ be the number of umbrellas storing in his office at $nth$ night. Whats the proportion of time he has $0$ umbrella in his office at night?
I tried to make the transition probability matrix and find the stationary distribution at state $0$ and found that $\pi_0=0.19$ but seems not consistent with the answer but i don't know what is the mistake. Any hints or solution are welcome.
$P_{transition} =\begin{pmatrix}0.92&0.08&0&0\\0.24&0.68&0.08&0\\0&0.24&0.68&0.08\\0&0&0.24&0.76\end{pmatrix}$ so $P-I=\begin{pmatrix}-0.08&0.08&0&0\\0.24&-0.32&0.08&0\\0&0.24&-0.32&0.08\\0&0&0.24&-0.24\end{pmatrix}$

Academic communities exist to facilitate the process of acquiring and exchanging knowledge and understanding, to enhance the personal and intellectual development of its members, and to advance the interests of society. In order to realize these goals, community members must be free from the threat of personal injury or harm; bias or harassment; intimidation or coercion; the threat of damage or loss of their property; the disruption of community educational and social activities; unreasonable interference with the exchange of concepts and ideas; and unreasonable interference with the administrative and supporting services offered by the University. The function of the Office of Student Conduct and Community Standards is to support the educational mission of the University by addressing and resolving situations in which the behavioral choices of students are negatively impacting others in the community, as well as themselves, and through efforts to educate those students on the rights and responsibilities of community membership so that they might refrain from such problematic conduct in the future.
The Office of Student Conduct and Community Standards within the Division of Student Affairs has five core functions at New York University: General Student Conduct, Student Sexual Misconduct, Student Grievance Procedure, Compliance, and Student Conduct Records.
The office has jurisdiction over matters involving alleged violations of the University Rules of Student Conduct and related University policies. The office also oversees the management of violations of Residence Hall policies by coordinating the resolution of cases at the residence hall level or by directly adjudicating cases in the Office of Student Conduct and Community Standards (utilizing Department of Residence Life and Housing Services procedures) as the circumstances warrant. The Office also oversees the management of allegations of violative behavior by recognized student groups by coordinating the management of such cases through the Office of Student Activities or by directly adjudicating cases in the Office of Student Conduct and Community Standards as the circumstances warrant. Finally, the Office serves in a consulting and advisory capacity to other units of the University to support their conduct related responsibilities and by maintaining a central repository of student conduct records.
Should it be determined that disciplinary action against an alleged student perpetrator is necessary/appropriate, the Office of Student Conduct and Community Standards may take such action. Learn more.
The Office of Student Conduct and Community Standards has responsibility for overseeing (through the University Judicial Board) the final appeal phase of the Student Grievance Procedure which affords students a venue to address complaints that an administrator/office has failed to follow the established policies and procedures in a matter involving that student. Learn More.
Student conduct records may be kept for a minimum period of time or permanently, depending upon the nature of the disciplinary action in which the student was involved. Students are strongly encouraged to consult the University Records policy for information concerning the retention of disciplinary records and the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act for information concerning the manner in which student records are protected with respect to disclosure.

I have tab files (or shp) with information like residents , buildings etc... I need to be able to click a point in web map and query all data that fall in certain radius. I didn't decide yet which WMS I'll use because my web apps are .net and although geoserver seems more popular , I have zero experience with java. Let's say I chose a WMS. Should I use it's sdk (if it has any , currently using mapxtreme to query map data on server side) to query files directly or should I import all to SQL 2008 and work with it (not sure how to search within polygon or in radius yet) Tips , opinions will be welcome
WMS has a request called GetFeatureInfo that you can use and will give you the information you need.
To get this information you don't need any programming or using any SDK: on the client side just build a valid GetFeatureInfo request and send it to the WMS server; that is, you don't directly query the database or the shapefile. Both GeoServer and MapServer implement this WMS request.
About the data sources, a usual option consists on using shapefiles containing the information you mentioned - residents, buildings... - as attributes. Another options is using an spatial enabled database like PostGIS.
Last, choosing MapServer or GeoServer is a matter of taste. I have used both and I prefer the latter for many reasons. One of them is that I find that GeoServer is easier to install and configure, which is done using a web interface.

FALLS COUNTY (November 16, 2012)--Marlin police Chief Darrell Allen was in critical condition Friday in a Waco hospital after he was seriously injured in a single-vehicle crash on State Highway 6.
Allen was in surgery late Friday afternoon.
Department of Public Safety trooper D.L. Wilson said the accident happened just after 2:30 a.m. Friday on Highway 6 just north of Falls County Road 121.
Wilson said the trooper at the scene reported Allen was southbound in a 2004 Ford explorer, his personal vehicle, when he lost control of the SUV, which left the roadway on the left-hand side.
Allen over-corrected and the SUV overturned, Wilson said.
Allen was ejected from vehicle.
Wilson said Allen was taken to Hillcrest Baptist Medical Center, in Waco, by Capitol Ambulance and was listed in critical condition Friday morning.
Wilson said Allen was returning to Marlin after working an off-duty job in Waco.
DPS Trooper Lonnie Hauck investigated the crash.
Allen suffered minor injuries in January 2011 when his patrol car hit a fence post during a high-speed chase through Falls County.
He was taken to Falls Community Hospital in Marlin where he was treated for minor injuries and later released.
The chase started after a Marlin police officer attempted to pull over a vehicle on Highway 6 whose driver refused to stop.
The ensuing pursuit went through most of Falls County, police said, and ultimately involved not only Marlin police, but also Falls County sheriff's deputies and the Department of Public Safety
During the pursuit, Allen lost control of his patrol car on a gravel county road.
The car hit a fencepost on the passenger side.

Christian Barr once said, "Art can't deny craft, but refuses to acknowledge it. In the end they are still brothers."Dawn Detarando: "I don't see craft as something you make, but rather something you need to achieve good art."Any monkey can put paint to paper, but is it art? Probably not since art is self-expression and for self-expression you need self-awareness. Both good craft and self-awareness brings you closer to producing art but are not guarentees.There is a lot of crap out there that some people believe is art and some art critiques call art. I suppose "Art is in the eye of the beholder."Can you have art without craft? Wow - impossible to say really as some people have inherent skills in art without having "learned" their craft. Perhaps these are the true artists.
Ooohhh... Let's try to define art.
We've often had the argument about whether one can be taught how to be an artist and not simply a technician.Now dig this:"He told Radio Times: I used to point out at art school, you can teach the craft, its the poetry you cant teach. But now they try to teach the poetry and not the craft. "I quote David Hockney. Rob C
Ok, I'll bite: art, like beauty, is in the eye of the beer holder.
Art gives my mind a hard-on.
My point of view is rather too well understood here, Theo.I do believe that it is possible to self-educate on camera use; that it is easier/quicker to be taught; that Photoshop skills should be taught along with basic art in schools.I do not believe that anyone can teach anyone else how to be an artist. I believe that in photography, self-education of the eye and mind is the only way it works, and that is done by looking at all the work one possibly can, which is the natural way of anyone sufficiently interested in photography or paint. It's why one is aware of either discipline to the extent that making it a life has any attraction in the first place. I think there are those photographers who never much looked at other's work and simply did it right out of the egg; I've never met one.Looking at all that work does two things: it reveals to one the field(s) of personal interest; it gives one benchmarks against which to measure one's own progress. It does not, however, give anyone any business sense, which is perhaps as important a quality as any of the others in the mix! In practice, maybe it's the greatest of them all. Rob C
Couldn't agree more... So, can to your opinion a teacher pass the reception of art to a possible artist? I mean surely none can teach somebody else to be an artist as you correctly state, but can't he help the "student" to decode/understand/approach existing art, thus helping him possibly optimize his abilities? Theodoros. www.fotometria.gr P.S. I should have said, I hate being called Theo..., please try to avoid that.
Keith,Perhaps you could share your brand of Beta-Blockers with Rob.Comes a time in a man's personal evolution that a hard-on anywhere is a welcome talisman of former youth.Cheers,W
So what shall we call you? Metria?Yes, a teacher can "pass the reception of art" to a student. When I was at University of Michigan in 1950 and 51, I was lucky enough to have an English literature professor who, somehow, turned me on to poetry in a big way. I suddenly started spending most of my time in the men's union writing poetry, which didn't do much for my standing in my other classes, but got me published a couple times, while I was still 19, in one of the "little" magazines common in those days. I wrote poetry for decades after that and was published many times in various "little" magazines. That professor opened my life to something really glorious. I still can recite "Prufrock" from memory. I owe that man a lot.

Stephanie Beach explains how the speed, simplicity and intelligence of SQL Data Generator have proved invaluable in setting up QC departments for start-up companies.
Software architect and Microsoft MVP Troy Hunt takes a look at creating realistic test data with SQL Data Generator.Read the article
"SQL Data Generator is almost magical when you see it in action over your own data schema"
"Redgate's SQL Data Generator inserts 500K rows in the same time that Visual Studio Team System does 300 - not 300K, just 300."
"SQL Data Generator is simple and effective. It used to take me hours to generate useful test data, for example so we could show our web product to clients. With SQL Data Generator I generated better data in only half an hour, and then, after this initial customisation was done, in only seconds, with just one click."
"In less than the time it took me to get my coffee, I had a database with 2 million rows of data for each of 10 tables. The database was filled with proper names, cities, geographical locations, FK links and I was able to use the Regex Generator to finely tune specific columns data."
"A fantastic tool that is very much needed by SQL Server DBAs and developers."
Want to improve how your organization develops databases? With SQL Data Generator you can run unit tests and integration tests that include realistic data, based on the columns in your schema.

Mickey Thompson's 427 Ford/Hemi Engine - Mickey's Mystery MotorWritten by on August 1, 2010 Yes, It's A Hemi. No, It's Not A Chrysler. It's A Ford. This Rare Piece Was Created By Mickey Thompson 46 Years Ago.
Not long ago in HOT ROD, we told you the story of Mickey Thompson, the greatest hot rodder ever ("Life at 400 MPH," Dec. '08). But really, there might be hundreds of stories about M/T that need to be told. Here's one of them. Back in 1964, Mickey created this wonder: a 427 Ford FE engine with aluminum hemi heads of his own design.
A shrewd money racer, Mickey deftly maneuvered himself as the Detroit automakers drifted in and out of motorsports. When GM chairman Fred Donner pulled the plug on all racing activities in 1963, Mickey wasn't without a factory backer for long, quickly landing a Ford deal for 1964. His multicar IndyCar team, previously powered by Buick and Chevy aluminum small-blocks, including a DOHC Chevy in mid-development by M/T, was switched over to Ford Indy four-cammers. Ford's racing bosses also dealt M/T not one but two of their new Fairlane Thunderbolts to replace his Pontiac A/FXers. (Known as dollar cars, the 'Bolts were sold to Mickey for a buck each.) Meanwhile, another exotic M/T project, a hemi head package Mickey had developed for the Pontiac V-8, was transferred to Ford's big-block FE engine.
Like many of the best stories in hot rodding, M/T's hemi heads are shrouded in mystery, as well as a fair amount of baloney. Here we hope to dispense with as much of the latter as possible. First, old bench racing stories to the contrary, Mickey didn't simply butcher up early Chrysler hemi heads until they fit on Pontiac and then Ford short-blocks. Nor are the M/T Pontiac and Ford cylinder heads the same or even very similar pieces. It wasn't nearly that easy, and nobody enjoyed a technical challenge more than Mickey.
Interestingly enough, the bore spacing of the Chrysler, Pontiac, and Ford FE V-8s are quite similar, at 4.562, 4.62, and 4.63 inches, respectively. Another coincidence: All three engines employ a head bolt arrangement with 10 fasteners per bank. The patterns are similar, yet not identical and do not line up, nor do the water passages and other features. So M/T's hemi castings aren't Mopar knockoffs-at most, they could be described as conceptually based on the Chrysler but adapted to different architectures. Rather cleverly, too. The M/T castings do share a few parts with the Chrysler, including the intake rocker arms and valve covers. M/T also marketed aluminum replacement heads for the Chrysler, by the way. They listed at $725 per pair in the '64 M/T catalog, while the Pontiac and Ford heads were $900.
We can't say how many M/T Ford hemi heads were manufactured or sold. We can guess maybe a dozen or two at the very most, judging from the number that appeared to be in circulation throughout the mid-'60s. Mickey ran at least one pair on his supercharged gas dragster, while another set was installed on one of his Thunderbolts, the one driven by Jess Tyree. (Butch Leal drove M/T's other, S/S-legal 'Bolt with a conventional wedge-head 427.) Los Angeles racer Walt Stevens ran an M/T hemi Ford, supercharged and on nitromethane, first in a Fuel Altered, then in the A&W Root Beer AA/FD. Maybe another one or two Ford hemis floated around the Midwest for a time. Ron Pellegrini of Chicago ran a Ford hemi in his wild '65 Mustang Funny Car, but that engine was an early Chrysler with Ford badges on the valve covers. From there the trail goes dark.
The engine shown here, a Hilborn-injected version, is the proud possession of Clyde Dedrick, a Southern California building contractor who truly loves-with all his heart-the golden age of front-motored Top Fuelers and drag boats. Clyde owns an extensive collection of vintage drag boats and Chrysler 392 stuff and is also responsible for the Chabasco AA/FD, a well-known cacklefester. Clyde's M/T hemi was originally installed in a Litchfield hull to be campaigned by Mary Rife, drag boat racing's Shirley Muldowney and the fastest woman on water. The engine was donated to a church at some point, then went through several owners before Clyde learned of and rescued the rare hardware.
Clyde generously threw open the doors of his Oceanside, California, shop and let us fiddle with and photograph the disassembled M/T Ford hemi, meanwhile regaling us with an endless string of fabulous SoCal hot rodding stories. (Yes, at HOT ROD we live the dream.) Clyde then reassembled the engine so photographer Wes Allison could capture the glamour shot that leads this story. We knew we were being treated to something special in seeing in person, and handling with our own grubby mitts, one of the few remaining examples of this very rare engine-but we had no idea how special until we laid eyes on the M/T Ford's most amazing feature: its articulated, three-piece pushrods. Since the setup defies ordinary written description, please refer to the accompanying photos and captions. Curiously, this part of the design doesn't appear to be described or illustrated in any literature of the period, including The Mickey Thompson Performance Handbook and Catalog, a publication jointly produced in 1964 by M/T and Petersen Publishing, HOT ROD's former parent company.
The story of the Ford M/T hemi is as short as it is fascinating. Right around the time Mickey was joining up with Ford for 1964, the company was already planning its own hemi-fied version of the FE engine, the 427 SOHC Cammer. FoMoCo, with technical resources infinitely greater than the Southern California hot rod industry could generate, had come up with its own solution to pushrod obstruction: eliminate them altogether. On the cammer, the valves are actuated by a single overhead camshaft on each bank. Mickey dropped his hemi and quickly adopted the Cammer, using it to great effect in his LSR streamliner and Funny Cars. There is no indication that Mickey ever looked back. But today we can, to a most unusual engine by the most energetic and creative hot rodder there ever was.

We nearly fell over when we discovered the M/T hemi's most unusual feature: its three-piece, articulated pushrods designed to snake around the enormous ports. The lower third of the pushrod is captured in a brazed retainer in the top of the roller lifter, while the top third contains the lash adjuster.To stabilize the three-piece pushrod assembly, the centersection runs in a fitted bore reamed in the cylinder head casting and lubricated by a small orifice-visible here between the head stud and the intake valve and spring.Here are the M/T Ford and the comparable Chrysler 392 castings side by side. While their bore centers are similar, Mickey's Ford head is noticeably larger in every direction-check out the humongous intake ports. The M/T Pontiac head is a different piece as well.Look: a hemispherical combustion chamber. Unlike the Mopar, and somewhat curiously, the M/T hemi runs identical intake and exhaust valve diameters-approximately 2.00 inches. Note the copper sealing O-rings and fully machined chamber.A Jackson-style three-gear cam-drive setup is employed. A bevel gear bolted to the nose of the cam drives the magneto.With the distributor drive relocated to the timing cover, a stub housing and distributor shaft allow the cam to drive the original Ford oil pump shaft.Massive rocker arm pedestals slip on over the head studs. The exhaust rockers are aluminum M/T pieces, but the intake rockers are stock 392, straight out of the Chrysler parts book.At the '64 NHRA Winternationals in Pomona, California, Mickey unveiled this Fairlane Thunderbolt with a pair of his hemi heads. He also cooked up at least one of his familiar cross-ram, dual-quad manifolds for the hemi combination.
The M/T Ford's valve covers (as well as the gaskets and spark plug tubes) are a direct interchange with the 331-392 Chrysler Hemi and also the M/T Pontiac hemi.At the '64 Winternats, Mickey also ran a AA/GD with a GMC-blown version of his Ford hemi. Shown here with his class winner trophy, he was defeated in the Top Gas Eliminator final by Danny Ongais, running an 8.53 to the quiet Hawaiian's 8.39. In the class finals, M/T had defeated Ongais. Mickey later hired On-the-gas to drive his '69 Mustang Funny Car.
