As a beginner, I was handed a full go board. And, somehow figured it out.
A beginner friend wants to start "small" on something like 1/4 of the board.
Personally, I think that we should start with the entire board.
As a beginner, I was handed a full go board. And, somehow figured it out.
A beginner friend wants to start "small" on something like 1/4 of the board.
Personally, I think that we should start with the entire board.
There is a lot of discussion on whether starting on 19x19 or 9x9 is preferable, the general consensus tends to 9x9. Personally, I started on 19x19 but would have preferred 9x9.
As a beginner, you first need to understand the most basic melee fighting tactics (atari, ladder, snapback, basic life and death, etc). Those can be learned on both big and small boards, but small boards avoid introducing complex strategic issues and make for faster games that are easier to review.
You probably should stick to small boards until you are familiar enough with the game to stop making "obvious" mistakes (crawling with a dead group on the first line, playing out ladders, stuff like that).
If you have played go for a while, a full board can seem like a natural place to learn. Obviously it is possible; So that asks the question: "Why do so many people learn on a 9x9 board?" and "Why does a 9x9 board exist at all?"
I have found, (past 10 years of teaching Go), that a 9x9 is the right place to teach people. There are lots of reasons, (that you will probably find in the other answers - "get through your first 100 games quickly"), but my top reason is fear.
19x19 lines looks like 18x18 squares to someone that has learnt to play, almost all other board games. The mind can boggle at how complicated that must be; A 9x9 looks like 8x8 squares, which is the same dimensions as some other games use, (though they are mostly tactic based games and Go adds strategy into the mix.)
So to sum up, some reasons to learn on a 9x9:
A 1/4 board (11x11), is not a standard size, so I do not believe that any official setup for black handicap stones exists.
Some confusion exists on what a quarter board is though, as I have seen a 9x9 also called a quarter board. The handicaps for that board are listed here.
a 9x9 is a board that is set for a battle not a war.
A 13x13 is a interesting compromise. A small war.
Actually setting up the 'quarter board' is hard to do on a 19x19 board. Most people use a small board specifically made for the size, or make their own. It is possible to crop an area from the large board, but this can be inconvenient.
As for learning on one, I feel Pieter Geerkens comment is quite correct. 13x13 gives a more balanced vision of the game than 9x9. 19x19 is too large, 9x9 is too small, but good to introduce the rules with.
Once the player has the basic rules down 100% on 13x13 then 19x19 becomes more interesting. After some years playing primarily 19x19, I've gone back to 9x9 and 13x13 to improve my life and death techniques and starting moves.

Zimmerman verdict spurs rallies, marches
July 15, 2013
NEW YORK (AP) — Thousands of demonstrators from across the country — chanting, praying and even fighting tears — protested a jury's decision to clear George Zimmerman in the shooting death of an......
The protests will continue nationwide, supported and encouraged by Eric Holder and others in the administration. Let's not forget the DOJ is responsible for a local law enforcement officer being out of work. Will that be rectified?

Sometimes I see the Linux kernel being mentioned in the list of upgrades, when running
pacman -Syu (updating my packages in Arch Linux). Whenever this happens, after installation of the packages, I can not mount USB drives anymore until I restart. I would just like to know if this is something that is common and expected (and if so, why, do I wonder), or if this is something not expected that I should investigate.
Sometimes I see the Linux kernel being mentioned in the list of upgrades, when running
Probably, on that distribution, it is normal. It depends on how the package manager installs the new kernel.
I suppose that your package manager (when upgrading the kernel) deletes the old kernel-modules directory immediately. This way, when you try to mount a vfat-formatted usb stick, the kernel will fail to load the needed vfat kernel module.
To verify my supposition, next time you upgrade the kernel, you can check the existence of kernel module directory:
To avoid this problem, other distributions (like openSuSE) delay the directory deletion till you reboot.
Yes and no. Ideally a restart would not be required, but it can be a difficult to arrange in practice.
You should be able to continue using types of devices that you've already used in this session. Trouble will come if you try to use a new device type (or filesystem format, or networking protocol, etc.) that requires loading a module. The modules for the new kernel may not be compatible with the running one.
If it's a minor security upgrade that didn't change any binary interface, then new modules will still run. Your distribution must have arranged to compile the new kernel with an indication that binary compatibility was not affected (same
If it's a major upgrade that changed the kernel package version, you can keep both the old package and the new package around until your next reboot. That way modules will still be loaded from the old package.
The problem comes when an upgrade overwrites the existing kernel and modules but changes binary compatibility. Ideally distributions would not do that. If you feel lucky, you can force a module to be loaded with

Dave Zizzo's '65 Mercury Comet Cyclone - Full CircleWritten by on January 7, 2007 Contributors: Robert McGaffin Dave Zizzo Has Owned Many Musclecars Through The Years, But What He Really Wanted Since Childhood Was A '65 Cyclone.
From a distance, it's a dead ringer for a two-thirds scale GTO. Indeed, the uncanny facial and posterior resemblance between the '65 Mercury Cyclone and '65 Pontiac GTO suggests covert espionage missions are a more likely explanation for their similarities than random coincidence. However, whose design studio may have spied on whom way back when is really inconsequential. Despite the similarities in their outward styling, the GTO is the darling of the general musclecar public, while the Comet gets as much attention as a non-foreign baby at a Hollywood adoption agency. Unlike the GTO, however, the Comet isn't a car you gravitate toward just because everyone else thinks it's cool. It's the type of car you appreciate for the sum of its mechanical bits rather than hype, and Dave Zizzo's Comet Cyclone proves that there can be plenty to like in a not-so-mainstream car.
Dave has owned his share of Detroit iron over the years, a list that includes several machines powered by big-block Chevys and 440 Mopars. With his younger and wilder days behind him, he figured project cars were a thing of the past. That is until he spotted a car that evoked fond flashbacks of his childhood. "I have always liked the lines of the '65 Comet, and remember a black Cyclone that was always parked on the side of the road in the neighborhood I grew up in," he recollects. "While chasing down go-cart parts with my grandson, I spotted this car for sale in a small Wisconsin town and knew I wanted it right away. I worked out a deal with the owner that evening."
The car sat neglected in a barn for a year until Dave drew inspiration from a gathering of fellow Comet owners at a national show in 2001. He hooked up with Phil Schultz of Vintage Mustang Restoration (Hartford, Wisconsin), and both felt the car was worthy of a full frame-off restoration. Fortunately, the car was originally from Georgia and free of rust, enabling the crew to get down to business immediately. Dave tore the car down at home, then sent it off for media blasting and a coat of Porsche Red paint.
With the bodywork complete, Dave didn't want to settle for a stock restoration, and yet going over the top wasn't an option either. The solution was a design theme that paid tribute to the glory days of drag racing in the '60s and '70s when he was a kid. "I wanted something slightly modified, but didn't want to stray too far from the stock look of the car," he explains. "My goal was to emulate the look of the Factory Experimental Comets campaigned by racing legends like Arnie Beswick and Jack Chrisman." Successfully achieving that look required getting the stance just right, and doing so took some trial and error. "I wanted the front end to sit high and the rear fenders to cover the tops of the tires. Removing a leaf out of the Dearborn Classics five-leaf spring setup worked out perfectly." Granted it isn't for everyone, but the stance definitely gives the illusion of the altered-wheelbase Funny Cars to which it pays homage. A set of 15-inch gray-spoke Torq-Thrusts completes the period-correct aesthetics. Crites subframe connectors, Edelbrock shocks, and Calvert Racing traction bars finish off the fully revamped chassis.
When it came time to spec out the motor combo, Dave wanted something streetable that wouldn't embarrass itself on the dyno. That meant the stock 289 would get the boot in favor of a 302 stroked to 347 ci. The combo is based on an original '70 Boss block that Dave just happened to have lying around due to some comical circumstances. "I had a pistol that a friend of mine really wanted, and he happened to have a Boss 302 block that I wanted, so we worked out a trade," he says with a chuckle. "They were designed specifically for high-rpm use, and were the only small-blocks that Ford ever made with four-bolt main caps and screw-in freeze plugs."
In the belly of this rare foundation is an Eagle 3.400-inch forged crank and 5.400-inch steel rods matched up with 10.0:1 JE pistons. The bottom-end is fed by Edelbrock Victor Jr. aluminum heads and intake manifold, and a Holley 750-cfm carb. To suit his mature and conservative tastes, Dave opted for a mild 230/236-at-.050 hydraulic roller cam. "I like the performance and sound of solid roller cams, but I'm getting old and don't want to hassle with lashing valves," he says. "My goal was to get as much horsepower as possible from a hydraulic cam and pump gas." Exhaling through a set of Doug's 1 5/8-inch headers, the 347 churns out 432 hp at 4,700 rpm, and 452 lb-ft of torque at 5,700 rpm on the engine dyno. That power is channeled through a Top Loader four-speed trans, a Centerforce clutch, and a 9-inch rearend with 3.55:1 gears.
In an effort to keep things as original as possible, Dave avoided busting out the drill bits as much as possible. To mount the MSD ignition box, he fabbed up a custom aluminum plate that attaches to the factory holes in the radiator support. Likewise, instead of mounting the fire extinguisher to the trans tunnel hump inside the car-which would have required drilling holes-Dave made a spare tire hold-down bracket that also incorporates an extinguisher mount. Other subtle touches include a custom aluminum battery tray, a Billet Specialties overflow tank, and a custom gauge cluster mounted on top of the dash. "I wanted to have a point of focus at each different area of the car," he explains.
Other than the paint and engine work, Dave did all the wrenching on the Cyclone himself. That includes rebuilding the Top Loader trans, fabricating the aforementioned custom brackets and mounts, freshening up the interior, welding up the exhaust, and performing the initial teardown and final assembly. "The only thing I'm not comfortable doing is bodywork, so I paid a premium for a project car that was in excellent condition," he says. "I knew I could tackle anything mechanical, which allowed me to spend a little bit more money to ensure I started with a solid car."
If you haven't figured it out by now, this Cyclone isn't about scorching the pavement at the dragstrip. It's a tool best used for loitering with your buddies at shows, attracting hoards of onlookers, and bringing home trophies. While we'd love to see it run a number at the track, it's hard not to appreciate the long hours and craftsmanship required to build such a machine. We're not big on show cars either, but who's to say we won't all turn into show-and-shine guys once our tastes "mature"? If that ever happens, we can only hope to build cars as cool as Dave's '65 Cyclone.

The weight difference between the factory iron heads and the 347's aluminum heads caused the front end of the car to sit too high.Swing open the doors and the family resemblance to the Mustang is immediately noticeable, particularly in the instrument panel.
According to Dave Zizzo, the factory fiberglass hood is an extremely rare piece that was introduced late in the '65 model year.

BioPharm: How did Flexion decide on osteoarthritis as a therapeutic target?
BioPharm: Flexion has been successful by focusing not only on the intra-articular treatment for osteoarthritis but also by targeting a full range of treatments for the condition. Can you talk about why the company took that particular approach and how it's been working to date?
Clayman: If we were going to be in this space, we needed to have a critical mass of product opportunities. We in-licensed a sustained release p38 inhibitor from AstraZeneca as one of our initial products and that became our nucleating asset, if you will, for a portfolio that now includes a sustained-release steroid, triamcinolone acetonide, and a sustained-release TrkA antagonist (TrkA is the receptor for nerve growth factor).
What we like about this portfolio is that, assuming we generate the data that we hope to in terms of efficacy and safety, it can address a range of patient needs. The sustained-release steroid is naturally positioned as a near frontline therapy—while the sustained-release p38 inhibitor is intended for patients who progress to needing something beyond steroids, and the sustained-released TrkA antagonist is focused on patients with end-stage disease who have pain refractory to any other analgesic approaches. So our portfolio has the potential to address the spectrum of disease on osteoarthritis in terms of pain relief. We also plan to pursue the potential for these therapies to be disease modifying, which is an enormous unmet medical need in osteoarthritis because the natural history of this disease is for many patients to require joint replacement.
BioPharm: What key challenges has Flexion faced while developing a pipeline of drugs for the full-range treatment of this disease?

Ready Remote (DEI) 24921-Pin Automobile Car Auto Starter System for $13.99 + shipping
Perfect for that great-uncle who used to be in the mob!
26 Comments add a comment
Is this something I should be installing myself lol
Estimated shipping for me was almost $13, which makes the total cost closer to $27.
@avxyvei: where you located?
I live in CA and I bought 3 for a total of $54
Any idea how much it would cost to have this installed?
Shipping cost almost as much as the item...Gave up on downloading the manual after several minutes....Was going to buy two, but cancelled....
@deesam: You can download it here
(took me around 1 second).
@fapsausss: "Is this something I should be installing myself lol"
No, probably not, given that you end questions with "lol" instead of question marks.
The rest of us probably can manage fairly easily, though.
Does this kit require cutting wires?
@joshobra: Yes, and splicing wires that are pre-existing in your vehicle
@fapsausss: not it you are the sort of person that has to ask.
Everyone else will have this installed in under half an hour
Don't forget about the hidden expense of needing to buy another pre-programmed key (likely from a dealer), at around $100 depending on make and year of car. No big deal or expense if you're still driving that 1972 Chevy Imapala, but if its something built in the last 20 years, your key probably has a proximity chip in it that needs to be programmed, and those aren't (usually) cheap.
@joemarfice: When you have to take your car to the dealer because you destroyed your electrical system trying to install some $13 auto start, remember my sentiment towards this: LOL
@jro2020: good luck with that. Let me know how it goes.
i bought one at a local bennys last year before the winter for 40 bucks. installed myself and its been flawless so far. that being said, it took me just over an hour, mostly cause im meticulous. i do have electrical background installing car audio for freinds and myself. it comes with a dvd, and also instructions, and a website to download additional info.
has options to make ur lights flash, horn sound with the panic button. i opted just for the startup. the range is not that great, maybe 40 or so feet from indoors. i have an old 95 truck, basic, no power anything. so if u have a newer nicer car, id have it installed professionally. but for an older car or beater that u dont mind tinkering with, its worth the price i paid. all installations are done inside the car near the ignition switch. and yes there is cutting/splicing invollved. i just stripped the wire insulation without cutting in half, then made the connection needed and then electrical tape.
@subrec: actually, for example, Ford chipped keys are less than $20 on ebay and you can program yourself if you have the original 2 keys.
you can program up to 6 more yourself.
i've done it, and remotes too. very easy
In for 1.
@subrec: valet keys are better for this and cheaper. Though, if you drive a newer BMW, Audi, etc - don't put a remote starter in your car, please. Just.... don't. You'll void all kinds of warranties and you will also have a KEY to your car "hidden" somewhere on it.
But I'll pass. My car sleeps in the garage. I have heated seats. I also like my car too much to mess with it for now.
For fuel injected automatics only.
Man I was thinking how nice this would be, but I drive 2 different manual transmission cars.
Watch the install videos before you purchase.
For everyone stating you'll need another key to be programmed and kept in your car, this is no longer true. This used to be the case, but now we use the FlashLogic FLCAN for almost every car (~$60).
It reads the real key in the ignition cylinder one time, clones it, then sends that same signal to the ignition cylinder when the remote start is activated. No extra keys to buy. No leaving a key in the car. However using/programming this transponder bypass while installing the remote start is likely over the average DIYers head.
Yes you'll need to cut into your factory ignition harness. But you DO NOT need to actually cut the wires in half. Use a "military splice" (google it).....though ideally everyone should solder their connections.
Lastly, if you're so inclined and capable, you can actually make this system work with your factory keyfob. Attach your white/blue wire to the power lock MOTOR wire (not the door switch lock wire) via a regular SPDT relay to switch the + door lock wire to a negative output to the blue/white wire, go into the remote start's menu using the valet switch and change the activation pulses to 3. Now when you push the lock button on your factory keyfob 3 times, it will activate the remote start.
As a professional installer who installs several remote starts a week, I can't recommend home installation to anyone but a professional. I've seen FAR too many ghetto rigged fire hazards to feel comfortable suggesting something of this caliber for DIY installation.
Good luck!
Nice comments/info fire bird dude....bet you cringe reading some of these post :-)
Meh. I hear/see bad installs all the time.
And in case anyone is actually thinking of using their factory keyfob as I've described above, the relay configuration would be Pin 85 to the lock motor wire, pins 86 and 30 would be ground and 87 would be the blue/white wire (87a goes ununsed). Do not forget to enter into the menu and change the activation pulses to 3. Or else your car will remote start every time you lock the doors. lol Oh, and you won't need to connect the included antenna to the brain.
Anyone know if this will also lock/unlock doors?
@mdperk2: It will not.
@azar: Think about how you park your car-- you really don't want to start your car remotely without a foot to pop the clutch.
(unless for some reason you put it in neutral)

It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form. For help clarifying this question so that it can be reopened, visit the help center.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
There are no "best" practices in my opinion. As others on the internet stated before, there might be "good" or "good enough" practices.
You have to see it in context. One good practice which fits perfectly for your company, product, people, etc.. (~context), might be TOTALLY wrong in my company, product, people, etc. :-)
Also on the note of "metrics". This can be a dangerous thing as well. Often you get, what you measure.
If I would be evaluated/paid by the amount of bugs, you can bet, that I would find dozens every day (or what ever the needed amount is).
If this would be "real" bugs or not.. wouldn't matter much for me (if my pay depends on it).
Also for developers: If you measure them by lines of code, you can bet you get dozens of lines, even when the function could be neatly fit in one line.

Day three of the trial for three Barren County law enforcement officials finished with a witness still on the stand.
Barren County Sheriff Chris Eaton, Deputy Aaron Bennett, and Barren County drug task force officer Eric Guffey are all charged with beating Billy Stinnett of Glasgow and lying to the FBI about it.
Wednesday began with former deputy Adam Minor still on the stand being questioned by the prosecution.
Minor says Billy Stinnett was beaten unnecessarily and it was a cover up. Minor did say Stinnett had a knife, but Eaton pulled it off him later.
Minor also said Stinnett was handcuffed while beaten and Eaton said to make a false report. Minor also said he lied under oath to a grand jury.
Because Minor said he previously lied under oath, defense attorney Guthrie True made attacking his credibility a priority.
Minor entered a plea with the government in exchange for a reduced sentence.
Minor was on the stand for about six hours.
Later on in the day, Glasgow Police officer Jessie Barton took the stand.
Barton did not see as much as Minor, but did say he saw Eaton punch Stinnett in the groin while he was handcuffed.
However, he had previously testified to a grand jury he didn't see this happen. In fact, he said he intentionally lied to the grand jury about the incident.
Barton said law enforcement was like a brotherhood and he didn't want to get anyone in trouble.
The trial resumes Thursday with Barton still on the stand.

Today, there are many varieties of family life. Although studies report on the problems of modern childhood, children are familiar with and tolerant of different cultures, and living and working practices.
The number of births to women in the US between 35-39 has risen 52 percent since 1990; the birth rate in women 40-44 has risen 65 percent since 1990 and is at an all-time high. Benefits are that older expectant moms are more likely to be settled, financially stable, and mature.
Single moms in the US have risen from 1 percent in 1971, to 12.5 percent in 2007. There's no doubt that children in single-parent families can be disadvantaged, but it's thought that much of this is due to financial constraints, and that those who have adequate socioeconomic resources do well.
Stepfamilies are the fastest-growing family type. It's thought that at least 1 in 3 children will have a stepfamily situation within their lifetime. Siblings may be of wildly different ages, or of the same age; these are unique and beneficial relationships for all children.
Dads today are more involved in family life. Some 93 percent attend the birth (compared to 5 percent in 1965), and over 70 percent take time off after the birth. In the 1970s, dads of children under five devoted less than 15 minutes a day to child-related activities, compared to over two hours by the 1990s. Research shows that children whose dads spend considerable time with them do well educationally and at work.
This is a necessity in most families. Studies show that good care outside the family has a positive impact on social skills, intellect, and language. Grandparents care for about 30 percent of US babies. A good grandparent relationship provides stability, family values, and is thought to improve cognitive development.
Your baby will live in a multicultural society. This affects educational experience and friendships, and there's a strong chance a child will be cared for by someone from another culture at some point in her childhood.
The statistics below reveal how family life has changed over decades.
Historically, about 106 boys have been born for every 100 girls-a phenomenon believed to be nature's way of compensating for the fact that males are more likely to be killed through conflicts. But ratios are changing with girls outnumbering boys. One factor may be increased stress (women under stress produce more girls than boys). However, the most important contributor is now thought to be the number of gender-bending chemicals in our environment, such as synthetic estrogens, PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls), and pesticides.

Amia Stool
by Steelcase
At A Glance:
The Amia Stool isn't necessarily glamorous, but it's incredibly effective. It has all the comfort you'd expect from a top-of-the-line work stool like the Leap Stool, but you can buy it at a fraction of the cost. No bells and whistles, just real comfort, real support, and real simple design.
What's To Like:
The Amia Stool is a triumph of the free market. It strips away all the things you don't really need from the most high-end office stools, but it keeps all their comfort, freedom of movement, support, and color. It's lean, and it has kept only the essentials. And because of that, it costs a lot less. Like it for the simple design, like it for the back-supporting LiveLumbar system, like it for the comfort of the seat and back; love it for the price.
What's Not to Like:
We say simple design, but others might say unsophisticated design. The Amia Stool doesn't do anything new or exciting with the office stool form. But trust us, it's got a great personality.
The Bottom Line:
The Amia Stool is genteel in the cubicle and a freak (world beater?) in the comfort and ergonomics department.
The Rest of the Story:
Steelcase has done it again: the Amia Stool bests all previous competitors by being the most ergonomic, well-designed, supportive midrange work stool out there. Of course, it comes complete with all the seating advances that have made ergonomics a household word: adjustable seat depth, a flexing front edge to relieve stress and pressure on the backs of your legs, armrests that can be adjusted in four directions, convergent design on the back and base creating a comfort pocket in the seat.
The Amia Stool is a gently curved, extremely comfortable task stool with a clean, modern design. Most buyers love the look of the stool, and all love the feel of it. The back and seat have plenty of give, mixed with serious support for your spine.
The lumbar region in particular is targeted and relieved by the Amia Stool's unique LiveLumbar support system, which comes standard. LiveLumbar, a network of closely connected but largely independent flexors in the back of the stool, works by responding to even the smallest movements and adjustments made by the seated person.
The comfort, the support ... it's all right there in the name. For those who don't know, "Amia" is Italian for "Excellent office stool with unparalleled lumbar support and a rewarding, deceptively simple design."
Steelcase also pioneered the LiveLumbar system as a way of bringing the comfort and support of high-end ergonomic stools to regular folks, the ones who need it most. With a midrange starting price, the highly adaptive, absurdly comfortable, unfailingly supportive Amia Stool is well worth it.
Amia is designed for serious sitting and long days at work or the home office that can really damage your back, legs and shoulders (and especially your lumbar region). Amia takes care of all of them with its revolutionary and ingenious LiveLumbar technology. You may not see it, but you'll definitely feel it - and that's what really matters.
Buy Amia today. Your back will love you.

Woody's Hot Rodz Hot Wood Gasser Chassis - Foundation Is EverythingWritten by Brian Brennan on March 19, 2013 Contributors: Robert McGaffin Building a driveable Gasser chassis for the street
Street Gassers are a "gas" to look at and to drive; the straight-axle variety being by far the coolest look but not all that practical for lengthy drives. Let's say you want to make a 300-mile run, or jump in and be part of a STREET RODDER Road Tour leg or any number of extended seat times. Without question a straight-axle Gasser is a very cool looking ride but at the same time can leave you with a very "uncool" feeling in the seat of your pants. (And, we won't even get into the handling characteristics of a "nosebleed" hot rod.)
Back in the day, pulling out the Tri-Five IFS and replacing it with a straight tube axle, a pair of leaf springs, modified steering, and some combination of drum (or even disc brakes come the mid '60s) wasn't a difficult chore. Of course, gasoline was 30 cents a gallon and cruisin' consisted of six to eight hours of weekend hops from one local cruise-in spot to another. (In between was the liberal consumption of hamburgers, fries, and, my favorite!, mammoth-sized chocolate shakes.) Nowadays cruisin' can easily include the weekend getaway that necessitates the several hundred mile (or more) roundtrip drive with overnight stays, lots of bench racing, and sightseeing from the seat of your pants while behind the wheel. In other words, there's the Gasser intended for the cool cruise and the one for the long haul. Today's Gassers come in two varieties: the straight-axle, which is still "King of Kool", and the lifted (probably 4 inches or so) upper and lower control arm suspension that gives the "most" of the look but maintains the required necessities for driveability and handling prerequisites.
And that gets us to the suspension under our project Totally Gassed. Our Real Deal Steel '55 Chevy post car by way of Woody's Hot Rodz now rests on one of their Hot Wood perimeter frames. Woody's offers two TIG-welded full perimeter frames (Full Wood and Hot Wood) that will bolt to any original (all body styles including wagons and convertibles) or a Real Deal Steel '55-57 Chevy body. Body mounting points are in stock locations as well as the crossmember for the core support. The frame will install without body mount or floor pan modifications.
The most visible difference between the two is the use of a straight-axle in front on the Full Wood while the Hot Wood utilizes the more traditional A-arm IFS. We have spoken about the Full Wood chassis in the past and, as such, this article is going to deal with the Hot Wood chassis that now rests under our project Totally Gassed. Since we are starting with a fresh chassis we need all the parts and pieces and asked if we could follow along when Matt Baldwin of Woody's Hot Rodz screwed one of the Hot Wood chassis together.
Woody's has set up the chassis to accept first-generation Camaro ('67-69) stamped steel control arms from Classic Performance Products (PN 6774SCA-ULK), disc brakes, steering box, and frontend components. (We couldn't resist, we asked Steve Tracy of Advanced Plating if he would put his "magic chrome" on a number of the suspension components and he obliged. To say the frontend glistens would be an understatement but it does give project Totally Gassed an unmistakable appearance.) Here we opted for CPP's upper and lower control arms, steering arms, and a complete drop spindle disc brake kit. CPP's kit (PN 6474SWBK-D) is based on 11-inch rotors coupled with 2-inch drop spindles, including metric GM calipers (single piston) calipers. All the necessary hardware is also included. (Will work with 15-inch and larger wheels.)
The CPP front coil springs (PN FCS6310-S) can be ordered with a 1-1/2-inch drop but that's just not Gasser style. To these we did match a pair of Posies Super Slide (PN 211) five-ply stock heavy-duty leaf springs. These Super Slide Springs have been around for a long time and rodders have used them for years and know about their moly-nylon Super Slide Buttons that reside in die-formed pockets at the tips of the spring leaves.
We opted to use the CPP 500 Series re-circulating ball box (PN CP50000) that features a one-piece cast housing that yields a "tighter" overall feel. It is a one-piece housing with no welding and will use the original Pitman arm and has a 14-1 ratio; quick but not too quick. Driving down the highway it has a comfortable feel. (The conversion kit includes the 500 Series box with power steering hose kit and pump and early model small-block Chevy V-8 power steering pump bracket. Optional chrome finish, new Pitman arms, and polished covers are available.)
We also needed to address the rear suspension. As mentioned, we used the Posies Super Slide spring but the foundation is a Currie 9-inch (PN CE-GMB5557X) that measures 57-3/8 inches from drum face to face; this is 1-1/2 inches narrower per side. This was done to accept the pair of rear 15x10 (4-1/2-inch backspace) Cragar S/S wheels. In front, 15x7 Cragar S/S wheels are used with Coker rubber; the rears being the Coker/Firestone 10:00x15 vintage dragster tires. In front a pair of Coker/Firestone Wide Oval Super Sports (F70-15) are wrapped around the S/S wheels. (Remember back in the mid-to-late '60s when these were the wheels of choice?) The rearend is the Currie 9-Plus notch back heavy-duty housing with 31-spline axles. Heavy-duty 2-inch-wide leaf spring pads are installed in the stock location for an easy bolt-in installation. Housing includes all third member studs installed and the Torino-style late-model large bearing housing ends. Axles include the stock 5-on-4.75-inch bolt pattern, wheel studs, 1/4-inch-thick heavy-duty bearing retainer plates, and tapered Timken-style wheel bearings. We opted to stay with a heavy-duty drum brake package and added a centersection with 3.70 gears and a Truetrac differential.
Over the next few pages you will see the Hot Wood chassis come together. Follow along in upcoming months as we address some more bodywork mods as well as the complete modernization of the dash through our friends at Danchuk.
More Photos From This Article View Slideshow
The rear leaf spring bushings should be coated with a lubricant (supplied by Posies) to prevent the bushings from gouging and to stop squeaks.The Cragars measure 15x10 and 15x7 and to that the 10.20 Coker/Firestone Vintage Dragster Slicks were added along with Coker/Firestone Wide Oval Super Sports F70-15s.With the Currie rearend ready to go and outfitted with its Cragar wheels and Coker tires it's time for Matt Baldwin (left) and Dane Heninger (right) to roll the rearend combo under the frame.The final step on the springs and rearend is to cinch it up; here Baldwin secures the rear shackles.The baseplate with lower shock mount secured by U-bolts anchors the Currie rearend to the Posies spring package.These shocks come with the Woody's Hot Wood chassis and here Baldwin bolts them into place as both upper and lower shock mounts are accounted for.
The CPP upper and lower control arms (first-gen Camaro) once removed from the tanks at Advanced Plating are positioned and readied for the remainder of the front suspension.A bit of the old world but be very careful when compressing a coil spring. Best bet is to have the proper tools such as a coil spring compressor. (Of course, back in the day when we didn't have tools and we healed much better and faster this is the way it was done! Surprised any of us are still around.)When dealing with the brakes a little Loctite goes a long way. CPP disc brake caliper bracket with dust cover is preassembled before it's installed on the spindle.A combination of CPP parts make up the front suspension; upper and lower control arms, dropped spindles, steering arm, disc brake bracket, and dust cover.
Make sure to tighten down the spindle nut/flat washer over the wheel bearing and then insert the cotter key but make sure to check that the nut isn't too tight; brake assembly should spin "easily" on the spindle.A GM metric single-piston caliper is used with the CPP kit. All necessary hardware comes from CPP and the install is relatively quick.The CPP 500 Series re-circulating ball box (PN CP50000) will use the original Pitman arm and has a 14-1 ratio. The CPP kit includes box with power steering hose kit and pump, and early model small-block Chevy V-8 power steering pump bracket.
Don't forget any one of the many cotter keys that was used throughout the front suspension and steering.

I'd like to unlock my Xperia Neo V's bootloader, but on the other hand I don't want to lose my warranty. Obviously, that isn't possible. So my question is: Do Sony Ericsson's repair centres always actually check -- or care -- if the bootloader has been unlocked and if so, how often do they?
Impossible to predict what their techs would do. Theoretically they certainly can deny repair service on bootloader-unlocked phones, since it clearly says that you are voiding your warranty when unlocking the device:
However, unlike the carriers (who 100% always check the bootloader status,) manufacturers have been known to turn a blind eye on this from time to time. For example, I've sent my Atrix 4G to Motorola for repairs twice after unlocking its bootloader. Both times their techs repaired the device, and even re-locked the bootloader for me. HTC is also known to be lenient towards repairing unlocked handsets.
You can always try calling Sony's support department and anonymously ask where they stand on repairs for bootloader-unlocked handsets. You may not like their answer though.

I'm building a flexible search tool where the user can put together a query against one or many of a long list of fields to pull back a list of results. I was considering a TFS like query builder solution but the interface will have to be very fast. There are 11 fields to query against currently but that will grow to 20 or so over time.
I'm on the fence on whether the fields in the droplist should be listed in alphabetical order or in order of popularity. I don't have hard numbers, but I believe that 4-5 of the 11 options account for the vast majority of searches.
Is there any research on the performance of alphabetical vs popularity sorted lists?
P.S. There is a sizable user population that will be navigating via keyboard.

I store sensitive information on my laptop in encrypted .sparsebundle images which are made with apps like Disk Utility, Knox and Espionage. The question is, if I upgrade to Lion, when I'm working on a file located in one of these mounted disk images and Lion is saving older versions of the file, are these older versions stored within the encrypted image (as they should be) or somewhere else? If the versions are stored somewhere else, are they encrypted or not?
Do OS X Lion's Versions and Resume features store the cached data for encrypted .sparsebundle images in a secure way?
I've done some testing, and can offer a (hopefully) authoritative answer.
Short answer: the versions are stored on the same disk (or disk image) as the actual file, so versions shouldn't leak information outside of your encrypted image. But there might be another leak, see below.
Long answer: Versions creates an invisible folder at the top of each volume, named ".DocumentRevisions-V100" with an internal structure like this:
For info on the sqlite index and the background daemon that mediates access to it, read John Siracusa's excellent review at ars technica.
The document versions themselves are stored in subdirectories in either AllUIDs or PerUID/youruserid. Under that, each versioned document gets its own subdirectory, numbered starting at 1. Under that is a single folder named "com.apple.documentVersions", and under that, each revision is stored as a separate document (unless it's broken into chunks -- I haven't experimented with large documents) named with a UUID and type extension. For example, if I (user #501) edit a rtf document on my boot volume and save several revisions, they might be stored as:
If I then opened another rtf file and saved a version of it, it might be named:
If I saved it on my SecretDocs image (mounted with ownership ignored), versions would be stored like:
BTW, permissions on the version files seem to be cloned from the original files. Permissions on the enclosing folders tend to allow execute only (i.e. you can't see the filenames, but if you know the file's name you can access it). For example PerUID/501 is set to allow execute only for user 501, no access for anyone else. The db-v1 folder only allows root access. Without investigating in detail, it seems to be pretty locked-down.
Now, about that other leak I threatened you with: Lion apps tend to save their state when you quit, so if you have a confidential document open when you quit, some of its information (like I think a screenshot) may get stored in ~/Library/Saved Application State/someappid.savedState. As long as you close before saving I think you're safe here.
An excellent question from Phil M!
Data related to Apple versions is sometimes not limited to /.DocumentRevisions-V100
I'll keep this as brief as possible. Key concepts:

In my most recent test with the same AFP server, the versions for a remote .png screenshot:
Locally there might be some related data at
Back to the opening question here in Ask Different … encrypted .sparsebundle images, security. Consider this:
In the context of an encrypted sparse bundle disk image, users may be more likely to use JHFS+ (supporting permanent version storage) than MS-DOS (lacking support)
However: someone should test to see whether unencrypted versions remain within the user's home directory — which may be unencrypted — after a volume such as that is unmounted.
Personally, I find fseventer most useful in test situations such as this. YMMV.
Some of this answer may raise questions that are not specific to encryption, not specific to sparse bundle disk images, not specific to security. These are potentially complex subjects so please: rather than ask questions in comments beneath this answer, I should probably encourage each question to be asked separately.
I checked Apple's Developer documentation on the versions feature and it seems to indicate that the previous versions of a document are stored in the same "place" (meaning either the same file, or the same folder) as the current version of the document; but the documentation is scant on details.
There's also the article from AppleInsider titled "Inside Mac OS X 10.7 Lion: Auto Save, File Versions and Time Machine", which says:
I have not yet found any more detailed descriptions of how the Versions feature works.
Gordon, this is good news for everyone, as well as the software developers for Knox and Espionage (I use both of these apps).
Here's a scenario that users should watch out for though. If you're accessing a file within a mounted encrypted disk image on an external drive, the version files will probably exist on the user's System drive in an unencrypted form. One workaround for this would be to copy the .sparsebundle to the system drive before mounting it.
Another scenario is if the .sparsebundle is on another Snow Leopard Mac on the same network and the image is shared on the network, enabling mounting on a Lion Mac by browsing to it through the Finder. (I do this sometimes.) This would definitely result in any version files being put on the user's System disk in unencrypted form. One workaround for this would be to use screen sharing to control the Snow Leopard Mac, then mount and work in the image on that Mac.
The bottom line is that in Lion, people need to understand more and be more careful than ever when using encrypted disk images if the images are not located on the System drive. I hope the Knox and Espionage developers will warn their customers about these issues.
EDIT: Graham's answer seems to support most of my assumptions.

Reaper Man (Mass Market Paperbound)
They say there are only two things you can count on ...
But that was before DEATH started pondering the existential. Of course, the last thing anyone needs is a squeamish Grim Reaper and soon his Discworld bosses have sent him off with best wishes and a well-earned gold watch. Now DEATH is having the time of his life, finding greener pastures where he can put his scythe to a whole new use.
But like every cutback in an important public service, DEATH's demise soon leads to chaos and unrest -- literally, for those whose time was supposed to be up, like Windle Poons. The oldest geezer in the entire faculty of Unseen University -- home of magic, wizardry, and big dinners -- Windle was looking forward to a wonderful afterlife, not this boring been-there-done-that routine. To get the fresh start he deserves, Windle and the rest of Ankh-Morpork's undead and underemployed set off to find DEATH and save the world for the living (and everybody else, of course).

WELLSBURG - Despite being out hit, Toronto took advantage of five Brooke errors and added a few timely hits to top the home standing Bruins 5-3 Thursday.
Brooke junior Heath Hildreth scattered five hits to keep his Bruins in the game, but a couple of defensive breakdowns were costly.
It was just the opposite for Toronto's senior right hander, Brad Melville, who gave up eight hits. The difference was Toronto's defense came through when he needed them including double plays in the third and seventh innings to get him out of jams.
"It was just a well-played and hard-fought game by both teams," said Toronto coach, Brian Perkins, whose club advanced its record to 16-1 and won its fifth straight. "We had a couple of errors, but were fortunate enough to score runs when we needed them."
On the other hand, Brooke seemed to hit the ball right at the Toronto defenders in key situations, but that is baseball, according the veteran Bruin coach, Ron Ujcich.
"That's the second game in a row that Hildreth has thrown a great game for us," Ujcich said. "He throws strikes and he knows that he's not out there to strike people out. He's out there to throw strikes and let the defense play behind him.
"Unfortunately, we didn't make plays behind him and that hurt us. We put the ball in play, but there were a couple of situations there where we had runners in scoring position and we needed a base hit. We didn't get it, but that's the nature of baseball. But a few base hits there and we put a few more runs on the board, it could have been a different result."
Toronto got on the board in the first inning with leadoff batter, Blaze Glenn, a freshman, working Hildreth for a walk, one of only two that he yielded in the game. Glenn stole second and with two outs scored when Brooke misplayed a ground ball.
The Red Knights made it 3-0 in the third. Chez Glenn got a one-out single to center and Tyler Owens followed by getting on board when Brooke misplayed his infield roller. Both of them scored on Melville's single to center.
Brooke got to within one run in the bottom of the fourth when Hildreth drew a leadoff walk followed by Russ Schwertfeger's second hit of the game. Hildreth scored on a Red Knight error and Matt Mazzone drove Schwertfeger home with a single to left field.
The Red Knights used sacrifice bunts to set up single runs in the sixth and seventh innings that proved to be the game winners.
In the sixth, Owens singled to left field, Mellville bunted him to second and he scored when John Romey laced a double down the left field line.
Catcher Bill Solomon reached on a Brooke error in the top of the seventh was sacrificed to second by John Marriner's bunt and scored from third base on another Brooke miscue.
"I was proud of the little things the kids did tonight that you don't see in the newspaper," Perkins said. "Things like kids running down the first base line at full speed, legging out hits and forcing bad throws and kids putting down bunts. We had two of them tonight in situations that set up big runs for us. It was a team effort as the kids did a lot of the little things to get a win against a good baseball team."
Toronto plays at noon on Saturday hosting Steubenville Catholic Central in the OVAC semifinals while Brooke's next outing is at Linsly today and the Bruins host Cameron Saturday at noon for one game as part of Brooke's annual Super Saturday in which all of the spring sport teams are in action on the Bruin campus.

The tournament's third seed, Oregon (24-8) found itself in a fight from the start against the sixth-seeded Huskies. The Ducks stopped Washington from getting off a shot in the closing seconds of regulation and held on in overtime to reach Friday's semifinals against No. 10 seed Utah, which knocked off No. 2 California in overtime earlier Thursday.
A year ago, Washington (18-15) became the first team from a power conference to miss the NCAA tournament after winning the regular-season title, thanks to an opening loss to Oregon State in the Pac-12 tournament. The Huskies could be out of the bracket after coming up short again in this year's tourney.
C.J. Wilcox led Washington with 19 points, Scott Suggs added 18 and Abdul Gaddy had 14 with five rebounds and five assists.
Damyean Dotson had 17 points and E.J. Singler added 16 for the Ducks.
Wilcox put Washington up 64-62 on a turnaround with 50 seconds left in regulation, and Oregon's Johnathan Loyd hit two free throws to tie it. Washington had a final chance in regulation but fumbled the ball away without getting a shot.
In overtime, Kazemi scored six straight points, with his two-handed slam on the break putting the Ducks up 72-65. He then followed a basket by Suggs with a three-point play that made it an eight-point game.
Oregon was the early front-runner in the Pac-12 race before a few slip-ups knocked them to the No. 3 seed.
The Ducks started the season 18-3 and won their first seven conference games before losing three straight. Oregon won five of the next six but closed with road losses to Colorado and Utah to drop out of the rankings.
It was a disappointing finish, but the Ducks' season still was good enough to earn Dana Altman coach-of-the-year honors in the Pac-12 and Oregon a likely spot in the NCAA tournament.
Washington played a wild opening game of the Pac-12 tournament, blowing a 19-point second-half lead and a 15-point advantage with 8:35 left before pulling out a 64-62 win over rival Washington State.
Oregon swept the season series, beating Washington by five at home and by 13 in Seattle.
Round 3 began as an offensive shootout. Washington went on an 11-0 run to go up 23-14 and hit 13 of 27 shots in the first half. Oregon answered with a 13-4 run to tie it and shot 14 of 28 before halftime.
Both made 4 of 6 from the 3-point line, with Oregon going into the break with a 39-34 lead.
The shooting fell off early in the second half, but both teams were struggling, so the game remained close.

For any subgroup of the group $G$, let $H^2$ denote the product $H^2=HH$. Prove that $H^2=H$.
This question seems simple but I do not know how can I prove.
This question seems simple but I do not know how can I prove.
A start: To prove that two sets $A$ and $B$ are equal, we often use the following strategy: (i) We show that every element of $A$ is an element of $B$ and (ii) We show that every element of $B$ is an element of $A$. It is usually best to tackle these two items separately.
(i) Can you show that everything in $H^2$ is in $H$?
(ii) Can you show that everything in $H$ is in $H^2$?
To do either half, recall the meaning of $H^2$. It is the set of all objects of the form $h_1h_2$, where $h_1\in H$ and $h_2\in H$. The objects $h_1$ and $h_2$ need not be equal. For (ii), the identity element of the group will be useful.
Its obvious that all elements of $H$ are in $H^2$, right? Think for any $h$ in $H$, 1*$h$ is in $H^2$. On the other hand, for any $h,k$ in $H$, we have $hk$ as an element in $H^2$ (by definition) and as a subgroup is closed under multiplication $hk$ is in $H$. Therefore, $H=H^n$ for all natural numbers.
First, prove that for all $h\in H$, $Hh=hH=H$.
Now, we are ready to prove that, $HH=H$ :
$$HH=\{h_1h_2|h_1,h_2\in H\}= \underset{h_1\in H}{\cup}\{h_1h_2|h_2\in H\}=\underset{h_1\in H}{\cup}h_1H=\underset{h_1\in H}{\cup}H=H$$

Tomorrow marks two years since President Obama signed his government takeover of health care into law.
Nancy Pelosi once said Congress had to pass ObamaCare before the public could learn what was in it. Two years later, the nation's workers and employers are still learning new details and living with the harmful consequences of the law.
Since enactment, numerous studies and personal testimony confirm the law is doing more harm than good. A quick glance through a few more recent accounts illustrates the law's many flaws and a history of broken promises.
Broken Promise: "If you like your coverage, you can keep it"
Throughout the long campaign to win support for his government-run health care scheme, President Obama famously promised the American people, "if you like your health coverage, you can keep it." Not surprisingly, this claim turned out to be just one of many empty slogans.
Last week, the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO) released a report estimating as many as 20 million Americans could lose their employer-provided health care coverage as a result of the law. The report also notes low wage workers are most likely to lose their coverage. This is yet another example of the disruptive effects of the health care law.
Broken Promise: Health Care Law Will Create New Jobs
Employers around the country have repeatedly expressed concerns that ObamaCare is standing in the way of their ability to grow their businesses and hire new workers.
Rather than clearing the way for more job growth, the health care law is placing an unnecessary strain on our nation's job creators as they navigate today's tough economic climate.
Broken Promise: Health Care Costs Will Drop
The president not only claimed the new law will lower premiums, he even promised to lower the average family's premium by $2,500. Unfortunately, his rhetoric doesn't match reality.
One by one, the president's empty promises are falling by the wayside and harming our nation's workers, employers, and families along the way. It's no wonder he isn't celebrating the two year anniversary of his signature legislation. With a record like this, who would?

Hollister City Council votes 4-1 to cease the issuance or re-issuance of tobacco retail licenses, which eventually will snuff out tobacco products in Hollister pharmacies.
Tobacco sales will be banned at Hollister pharmacies after the city council on June 15 voted 4-1, with Raymond Friend opposed, to approve an ordinance amendment that will halt the issuance or re-issuance of tobacco retail licenses.
The council previously heard from San Benito County Public Health Officer Dr. Anju Goel, M.D., who advocated for a ban on the sale of tobacco products, which she said will provide health benefits that will significantly outweigh the loss of revenue to pharmacies.Hollister City Manager William Avera said that since tobacco sales licenses are typically applied for in November...

Just FYI, we have a border collie and a shih tzu (and a cat who is not pertinent to this story but would demand to be mentioned so here it is). We bought larger dog biscuits for the BC, of course. The little shih tzu CAREFULLY watches the biscuits and makes it plain that she deserves just a big a treat as her much larger sister. In other words, if I get one of these, I have to get two, although it is easily as long as the shih tzu. Picture that, if you will.
Double check the ingredients and do a little searching on the possible dangers of rawhide. Made well, these can be just fine. Made cheap, these things are a really, really bad idea. Plenty of info out there, should be easy to find.
The price of this item has DROPPED! :)

What Major Improvements do you see as most useful in Agricola, and why?
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question
- Anybody can answer
- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
For a grain-based strategy the Clay Oven is key. It's incredibly efficient (1 grain-> 5 food), and crucially, requires only one stone, so you can get it early (guaranteed before the second harvest). In most of my Agricola games, one player will take the fireplace/animal eating option, and the other will go for a grain/baking option.
My other key improvement is the Well. The in-game effect (5 food) is marginal, but the 4 points at the end make a huge difference, and are great value (often equivalent to renovating your entire house, for example).
Here are my rankings of the Major Improvements:
Do you play with the Farmers of the Moor expansion? I've been finding, with that in the mix, that the Forester's Lodge is pretty amazing, definitely a valid alternative to grabbing an early Fireplace. Played early it's a win-win Improvement: either it puts your Wood production into overdrive, or you get a ton of VPs for conserving Forest tiles on your board till the end of the game.
The Peat-Charcoal Kiln might be similarly good in a game where Stone is available from Turn 1, but unfortunately I mostly play 2 player, so I don't see enough of those!
In the standard game I agree with Pat that the 2-clay Fireplace is the best, but only if you can grab it straightaway and then be the first to grab and slaughter 4-5 sheep! It's not like it's much good later on, if you weren't the "early bird". Aside from that, see my comment on his answer. Don't underestimate the potential power of the Basketmaker's Workshop!
Baking with ovens is more of a bonus than an early goal to shoot for and rely on. Livestock and even food from occupations/minors is a better deal than baking. Especially in 4 or 5 player games it's WAY too easy to be blocked out of huge baking action when you need it.
Pat's list has the right idea, although Pottery is by far the best of the "workshop" improvements. Clay is the most abundant resource in 90% of games. You can never have enough wood between building rooms, fences, and improvements. Reed is also scarce to the point that it's the primary bottleneck for development. Why would you eat it? Clay is almost as abundant as wood and is mostly only used for a cooking improvement and renovation; there's plenty of it and it's not too difficult to get food out of the Pottery every harvest and the full +3 bonus points.

She'll be here in no time! Can you imagine being lucky enough to have the adorable Kristan from Confessions of a Cookbook Queen as your Mommy! Kristan is one of the cutest, funniest, sparkliest, REAL girls I know! She could seriously have her own t.v. show! I'm not even kidding! Kristan can make you laugh and SMILE like nobodies business! She also bakes up the most adorable treats!
When I think of Kristan I think of TWINKIES and PINK!
That's why I got brave and baked a Twinkie bite right into a cupcake~and tinted cream cheese frosting with cherry juice!
When I first thought about baking a Twinkie inside of a cupcake I popped over to see how Amanda bakes cookie dough in cupcake batter. Amanda freezes the dough first, then plops it in the cupcake batter to bake. That's what I did for these cupcakes.
Cut each Twinkie into 4 bites and freeze overnight.
If you have a friend who loves Twinkies!
If you love Twinkies!
Here's how you make Twinkie Cupcakes:
Follow your favorite white/vanilla cupcake recipe. I used Sweetapolita's Fluffy Vanilla Cake recipe.
Remove frozen Twinkie bites from the freezer.
Fill cupcake liners with one scoop {1/4 cup} of cupcake batter.
Plop a Twinkie bite in the batter. Cover Twinkie bites with just a little more batter. Bake 18-20 minutes at 350 degrees.
Take a look at the lovely~ness of these cupcakes with a TWINKIE baked inside! Just knowing there's a TWINKIE inside the cupcake makes things so much fun!
For the frosting you will need:
*4 cups powdered sugar {sifted}
*8 ounces cream cheese
*2 - 3 tablespoons heavy cream or half & half {milk works fine too}
*jar of maraschino cherry juice
Using an electric mixer, whip the cream cheese. Gradually add sifted powdered sugar to cream cheese. Add 2-3 tablespoons of milk depending on desired consistency of frosting.
Begin stirring in the cherry juice.
Add cherry juice to your heart's desire. I ended up adding the entire bottle of juice. Frost the cupcakes. Sit cupcakes in the fridge until ready to serve. Is that not the cutest little cupcake ever! Perfect to celebrate Kristan and Lucy! I'm so thrilled for Kristan and her family!
Can't wait to meet Miss Lucy! She'll be decked out in all kinds of PINK and leopard! Sending Kristan and her family lots of hugs and LOVE from Bainbridge Island!
Thanks for inviting me to the shower Shelly! I adore you too!
