I live alone and need to do bedikat chametz. Should I hide 10 pieces of chametz myself? Doesn't that defeat the purpose?

There is the kabbalistic reasoning, but putting that aside: you're doing the mitzva by searching, regardless of whether you find something. So if you don't feel like putting out the pieces of bread, then don't!
My Pardes teacher Zvi Wolf warned us to be very careful when spreading around chametz just to "find" it. Specifically, be careful to not leave any chametz in your nice clean rooms. Eg crumbs from bread, etc.
If you do it, don't overdo it. And think about the crumbs in advance. Eg one slice of bread in a bag--find the
He said he knew of people who, during Pesach, had found the chametz they had "hidden" before the chag. (Oops!)
There are those that hold that since we make a bracha on bedikat chometz it can be a brach levatalah if we dont find anything, so even if you dont put out 10 pieces at least put one piece.

ANDERSON, S.C. – With a new head coach and higher expectations in 2014, Anderson University women's soccer head coach Ciaran Traquair has announced the first signing class of his tenure on Tuesday.
"This is a very exciting group of girls coming to AU this fall," Traquair said. "I have had several conversations with Coach (Samar) Azem about the incoming class and she has spoken very highly of them as individuals. I expect a smooth transition to what is already a very talented squad. I hope our new arrivals will experience success as student-athletes and become integral members of our squad. I will continue to work around the clock to try and add more quality to the team before the season."
Four players will be placed on the 2014 squad as Lyssa Engle, Abbey Mills, Maddie Volz and Rachael Whaling will look to provide depth to a team that barely missed the 2013 Food Lion South Atlantic Conference Tournament a season ago. The quartet replaces three key seniors from a season ago in Olivia Scalzitti, Krystal Goss and Kaitlyn Neipp.
Name: Lyssa Engle
Position: F
Hometown: Fairborn, Ohio
Previous School: Carroll HS
Club Team: Cincinnati United Premiere
Engle comes to Anderson from Fairborn, Ohio where she was a three-year letterwinner for Carroll High School. At Carroll, Engle was named to the all-conference team once. Along with her letters in soccer, Engle also lettered in track twice and swimming three times as she was part of a state championship with the swimming program. Away from the soccer field, Engle holds a 3.9 GPA.
At the club level, Engle was a member of Cincinnati United Premiere under Greg Deutsch and Dan Brady. The Buckeye State native was a part of the ODP State team from 2007-2010 where she participated in a European Tour in 2009.
Name: Abbey Mills
Position: F
Hometown: Monroe, N.C.
Previous School: Piedmont HS
Club Team: Mecklenburg Union Futbol Club/Charlotte Soccer Academy
A three-sport athlete at Piedmont High School, Mills was named to the all-conference and all-region teams for the second straight year a season ago, while representing the West in the Powerade State Games. Following her junior season, Mills was named the team's offensive MVP. After her freshman campaign, Mills was listed to the conference's honorable mention team.
Throughout her high school career, Mills has scored 38 goals and recorded 29 assists, while notching 186 saves after her freshman year as a goalkeeper. While at Piedmont, Mills is also an all-conference basketball player and golfer, as she qualified for the North Carolina Girl's State Tournament her last two seasons.
Name: Maddie Volz
Position: F
Hometown: Cincinnati, Ohio
Previous School: Mount Notre Dame HS
Club Team: HFC
A four-year letterwinner at Mount Notre Dame High School in Cincinnati, Ohio, Volz was named second-team all-conference in her final season at MNDHS. Being named the team captain before the season, Volz was named the team's best offensive player at the end of the year. In the classroom, Volz was listed to the second Honor Roll after every academic year.
As a member of HFC, Volz was coached by Dan Brady and was a state cup finalist three times throughout her career.
Name: Rachael Whaling
Position: MF
Hometown: Greenville, S.C.
Previous School: J.L. Mann HS
Club Team: CESA 95 ECNL
A future graduate of the Upstate's J.L. Mann High School in Greenville, Whaling is currently in her final season with the Patriots where she has scored 18 goals and dished out 10 assists in her three seasons. Playing under Head Coach Steve Georgopoulos, Whaling has earned four letters at J.L. Mann while receiving high honors and being a part of the National Honors Society.
Whaling's high school career was highlighted by a four-goal, two-assist game against Laurens. As a team, J.L. Mann finished as state runner-up a season ago. At the club level, Whaling is a member of CESA 95 ECNL under coaches Andrew Hyslop and Andrew Fleming.

Raspberry Mango Ginger Turnovers

i am uber impressed. the dough seems just like a croissant, no?
- July 29, 2008 at 9:55 PM
- Vegan Dad said...
Yes, it's the same idea--layers of butter and dough. I am not sure if the measurements are the same (i.e. if croissants are just puff pastry rolled a certain way), or whether both are just similar recipes.

- chow vegan said...
Wow, your own puff pastry! That's very impressive!
- July 29, 2008 at 10:02 PM
- Lisa (Show Me Vegan) said...
Vegan Dad, very impressive! I just bought my first package of PF puff pastry, and am still a little nervous about dealing with it. I see that some people brush the pastry with an egg wash to get a nice brown effect and I assume your brushing with soymilk is the vegan way. Thanks for the tip.

ooo, mango and raspberry is my favorite fruit combo! these look great =)

Oh, wow. You possess such talent and creativity! Thanks for always posting such great recipes!

This is so cool. You won't believe this, but I'm taking a summer course in Kitchen Science, and today we made puff pastry.... with so much butter I'm surprised that everyone didn't keel over from clogged arteries on the spot... and I asked the instructor, couldn't this work just as well with Earth Balance Sticks? He had never thought about it that way, but the little creations we made looked so cute (and everyone said they tasted so awesome) that I'm itching to try some MY WAY, which will turn out to be YOUR WAY, sometime very soon. Thanks!!!

- Alexis said...
Ooh. I bet this filling would be good in VeganYumYum's Hand Pies too. The hand pies dough is Pate Brisee, which is a lot easier. I am in awe of your puff pastry achievement but will probably never do it myself, so I will just take your lovely filling and repurpose it.
- July 29, 2008 at 11:13 PM
- Bianca said...
Wow! You have serious skills. I wish I had the patience for that. For now, I'll stick to Pepperidge Farm...
- July 30, 2008 at 12:40 AM
- Catofstripes said...
Oh well done, I keep meaning to get down to this and everytime laziness gets in the way.
Croissants are prepared in a similar way but the dough is yeast leavened.

- Sharon R said...
The puff pastry looks so good. I read the recipe & it doesn't seem tooo complicated. Even though it's in the 90's here, I might have to break my vowel not to bake this summer and make some of these.

I am making a request...looks good...Tina

I find that soymilk does help brown up baked goods (and is really easy). There is also a cornstarch glaze posted on the PPK forums, and on Have Cake, Will Travel, if you want a more glossy sheen.
- July 30, 2008 at 9:16 AM
- Lisa (Show Me Vegan) said...
I'll check out the cornstarch glaze as well. I'm thinking about a jerk flavored filling for a potpie with the puff pastry topper. We'll see!

You made your OWN puff pastry? Gawd, I feel soooooooo lazy... it looks way yummy!

Dakota Wesleyan University has come to realize it's not always about how many students you draw in, it's every bit as important to keep the ones you've got.
DWU's enrollment for the 2013 fall semester is looking to be the highest it has ever been with numbers coming in this week at 873 enrolled students, of those 170 freshmen.
This year's enrollment surpasses the university's all-time record in 1966 of 850 students and President Amy Novak gives a lot of credit back to the university staff, as well as the new science facility, which was dedicated Thursday.
"We have a solid incoming freshman class, but we are just as excited to see that our returning students have enjoyed their experience here, which is reflected in our record retention numbers," Novak said.
Final counts for enrollment and retention won't be in until later into September, after the final drop date, but going by current numbers DWU's retention of freshman to sophomore students has reached 77 percent, which is a jump from five years ago when it was 57 percent. Retention is calculated by the number of the previous year's freshmen who returned as sophomores.
"The entire campus has come together to bring that number to where it should be," Novak said. "Our student life department has taken a lead on giving students activities throughout the week, encouraging students to stay on campus on weekends and get involved; our coaches have recruited stellar student-athletes who want to succeed in education as much as they do on the court or field, and as a university we have been more intentional in giving students opportunities to meet and volunteer with staff and faculty, building relationships.
"We also have a brand new science facility that we dedicated Thursday, and considering the majority of our student body is majoring in the sciences or medical fields, we know we have gained some students the past two years with the Glenda K. Corrigan Health Sciences Center as a draw, and retained some students this year who were attracted by the state-of-the-art facilities."
As well this year, DWU launched a new M.B.A. in Strategic Leadership and expanded its degree completion program for registered nurses with associate's degrees.
"We are excited about these online offerings and the growing interest in these programs by adults examining ways to improve their skills and strengthen their opportunities for employment advancement," Novak said.
The campus dedicated the Glenda K. Corrigan Health Sciences Center on Thursday with more than 650 campus and community members in attendance. The $11.5 million facility is four stories, 48,000 square feet, and has chemistry labs, biology labs, research labs and four nursing simulation labs, as well as classrooms and faculty offices.
DWU is a private, liberal arts university associated with the Dakotas Conference of the United Methodist Church. For more information about Dakota Wesleyan University, go to www.dwu.edu.

no King Abdullah chairs Cabinet session King Abdullah holds weekly Cabinet meeting in Riyadh
King Abdullah chairs Cabinet session (1/30/12)
January 30, 2012
The Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz began the Cabinet session at Al-Yamamah palace in Riyadh today with a briefing on his latest contacts with foreign leaders, including a message he received from Qatari Emir Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al-Thani and a telephone call he received from Moroccan King Mohammed VI.
After listening to a number of reports on Arab and international developments, the Cabinet lauded the statement issued by the 4th Joint Ministerial Meeting for Strategic Dialogue between the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) member states and Turkey. The declaration stressed the depth of relations between the two sides, the joint desire to enhance ties and the mutual interest in preserving peace and stability in the region.
Noting the Arab League's suspension of its monitoring mission in Syria due to escalating violence, the Cabinet expressed the Kingdom's regret over the mounting civilian casualties. It stressed the importance of concerted efforts to end the bloodshed and to meet the legitimate demands of the Syrian people.
Next, the Cabinet reviewed the various visits made by Saudi delegations to foreign countries last week, including a trip led by the Minister of Justice to Washington, D.C.; participation in the Trade Policy Review of the Kingdom by the World Trade Organization (WTO) in Geneva; and attendance at the opening of the "Hajj: Journey to the Heart of Islam" exhibition in London and the "Saudi Archaeological Masterpieces through the Ages" exhibition in Berlin.
After reviewing its remaining agenda items, the Cabinet assigned the Deputy Minister of Defense to become the Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors of the General Organization for Military Industries; reshuffled the Board of Directors of the National Commission for Wildlife for a once-renewable period of three years; authorized the Minister of Foreign Affairs to discuss a draft agreement on general cooperation with Afghanistan; authorized the President General of Youth Welfare to sign a draft agreement on general cooperation with Pakistan in the field of sports; and accredited the two final accounts of the state for fiscal years 1426/1427 H. and 1427/1428 H.
The Cabinet appointed Hashim Rajeh as Administrative Consultant at the Ministry of Labor (15th rank); Mohammed Al-Matrafi as Minister Plenipotentiary at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs; Youssef Al-Shaer as Minister Plenipotentiary at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs; and Mohammed Al-Dossary as Mayor of Baha Region at the Baha Governorate (14th rank).

What tools do you use to clean negative energy from anything? The tools listed below are designed to be
helpful, useful and practical. Remember, as you are clearing an object, be sure to state your intention with
prayer and visualize the light of God permeating the object.
Dragon's Blood, Frankincense, Benzoin and Myrrh are types of resins from Sumatra, which you burn in a
small black rounded out charcoal 'holder.' You buy them in either bricks and break it down, or you can buy
them in small pieces. You will need a Pyrex bowl to hold the heated pieces. Heat the charcoal holder with
tongs, until it is glowing, and then place the dragon's blood and one or all of the rest of the resin pieces on
top of the charcoal in the bowl. A white smoke will immediately come up and it is this white smoke that
actually clears the negativity of an object. You will want to use the real resin, not incense because incense
will not work the same as the smoke from these resins.
These resins will work on houses, cars, furniture, clothing, books, rugs, jewelry, a person, and the general
atmosphere of a location. Depending on the object, you will want to move the smoky glass bowl all around
the piece, the house, car or even yourself, if you have been in a profoundly negative place, being careful
not to burn yourself. Be sure to leave a window open when you do this, so that he negative energy can
leave your location. Remember, Dragon's blood incense does not work the same way.
Frankly, those of us who study this, find the use of these resins to be the best way to clear large things.
Sage just isn't powerful enough to permanently remove negativity and even these powerful resins only work
to a certain degree and that degree is predicated on the amount of negativity an object holds.
Other ways to clear washable jewelry (be careful with pearls, tanzanite, and opals) and crystals include:
Tina D. Erwin, CDR, USN, Ret, has studied metaphysics all her life to enable her to
understand her own psychic abilities. These intense studies were further enhanced by
the experiences of a dynamic 20-year career in the Navy, working for the U.S.
Submarine Force, retiring at the Commander level. Her most recent book, The
Lightworker's Guide to Healing Grief, offers hope and help when facing a loss. Erwin
currently writes a weekly column on metaphysics called Light Times.

ST. CLAIRSVILLE - Two levies on the ballot were passed by a large margin during the voters' choice at the polls Tuesday night.
The St. Clairsville Elementary School will be seeing needed repairs and upgrades to the roof and doors with the voters' approval of a continuous 2.75-mill operating levy to replace the school district's expiring 2002 operating levy. Results from the 20 precincts showed a count of 1,947 to 826 opposed, or 70.21 percent to 29.79 percent.
Superintendent Walt Skaggs noted that the district has demonstrated a commitment to making the most responsible use of the tax dollars entrusted to them.
"On behalf of myself and the school board and the students and on behalf of St. Clairsville, we're ecstatic with the support we received from the community. We've been fiscally responsible. We've shown that over the years, and I think the turnout and the positive support is a credit to that, and we're going to continue to be fiscally responsible, make decisions and do what's best for the students of St. Clairsville."
He added that the district had reached out to community members and organizations.
"The feedback that we received was positive in support," he said. "We were hoping for the best and that turned out in our favor."
He thanked school employees and members of the community who worked to get the word out, as well as area volunteers who assisted in several recent projects.
Skaggs noted that the district has sent out bids for the elementary roof and will award them within the next two weeks. The construction will be completed before the beginning of school next year.
MEANWHILE, the Memorial Park and Allen Pool will also be open for regular business this year, with the passage of an additional 0.25 mill levy for five years for current expenses. Voters from 14 precincts turned out and cast 2,024 votes in favor to 649 opposed, or 75.72 percent to 24.28 percent.
Park Board Member Randy Bernard said the possibility that the park might close had meant a slight decrease in reservations this year, but noted the popularity of the park should mean considerable activity this summer.
"This was successful because of the community," he said, noting the city organizations, sports teams, parents, and others who worked to promote the issue. "It makes all the difference when you have the full community support."
He also spoke about the park's role in community life.
He added that the park board will continue to look at the finances for ways to make cuts and reduce costs whenever possible, as well as search for alternate funding sources. Meanwhile, they will continue to utilize capital improvement funds to continue upgrades.
"This levy was a lifesaver, but we need to plan for the future as well," he said.

I have found a need for a standardization for storage and recording of data relating to diabetes information (I don't think there's any, but I may have missed it).
To that end I made this github project because I want to create one.. but I don't really know how to go about it, or even for sure what I want to create is called.
Do I need to pick a language (xml, json) or a database type (mongo, sqlite, mysql), or how 'unspecific' is possible with something like this.
Is a data format as I describe here a thing? Are there other names for what I want to try to do? It's a bit of a strange task to accomplish compared to what I'm used to.

Helen Lucile Anna Miller, 94, died Aug. 22 at Hospice Care of Northern Colorado in Greeley, Colo. She was born Aug. 17, 1918 near Tecumseh to Ernest and Fannie (Prill) Miller. She was baptized and confirmed in the Lutheran Church where she was an active member all of her life.
During World War II, she worked for the federal government in Washington, D.C. She earned her bachelor's degree and, after three years in a children's service agency, earned her master's in social work at Washington University in St. Louis, Mo.
She worked at a residential treatment center for children in Iowa then returned to Nebraska in 1960 to work at a social services unit and at University of Nebraska supervising graduate students' practicums.
In 1967, she went to Korea as part of the Lutheran World Relief work helping develop children's services there. She then was transferred to Indonesia to help the government improve its research methods and focus. She returned to the United States in 1974 to work in intercountry adoptions, helping to create a widely-used booklet about helping children cope with being "different."
She was grateful to the Lord for her opportunities to visit other countries. In her retirement, she enjoyed auditing college courses, brailling for the blind and tutoring in elementary schools. In Greeley, she was a member of Our Savior's Lutheran Church, the American Association of University Women, Greeley Exchange Club and GRASP study program for seniors.
She was preceded by sister Frances Miller in 2003, sister Evelyn Zabel in 2007 and brother-in-law Lawrence Zabel in 1997.
She is survived by nephew Steven (Laura) Zabel of Lakewood, Colo.; nieces Susan (Joe) Dryburgh of King of Prussia, Pa., Carolyn (Dr. Jeff) Hoffman of Guttenberg, Iowa, and Patricia (Everett) Zabel-Baltz of North Platte; nine great nieces and nephews; and three Cambodian families whom she sponsored to come to the United States.

Are You an Eco-Traveler? | 5 Steps to Plan Your Next Adventure
Ecotourism. It's a term travel marketers love, but what does it really mean?
Ecotourism involves more than just exploring nature or viewing wildlife, which on its own does not always contribute to the welfare of a place and its inhabitants. Indeed, some destinations, such as the Galapagos Islands, are at risk of being 'loved too much.'
At its heart, ecotourism involves "responsible travel to natural areas that conserves the environment and improves the well-being of local people," according to the International Ecotourism Society.
With this in mind, consider whether your travel plans include the following principles and practices that are central to ecotourism that makes a positive difference:

I was keeping an eye on a friend's flight on PlaneFinder. It was meant to be flying past my office, so I walked to the window to see (the airport is about a minute away when they pass, so it's pretty low). However it was about two minutes later that the plane went past.
What gives? I can't see flight sites showing it in advance, but on the map it was showing it low over Richmond, Vancouver and inline with my building - it would be incredibly hard for me to mis-read the map, but I can't think of any other option.

If I remember the story right, the computer sat in a field in some guy's back yard and his kid used it for target practice.

Yeah totally - I thought he was joking but when the dude totally flipped out -- I was eating dinner and inhaled some habenaro sauce - it keeps getting funnier every time I watch that
Both videos are a great way to learn about computer history.
I mean, I took computer history courses and I remember seeing drawings about Craigs and DPDs but seeing them and listening to Gordon talking is a interesting experience.
Does anybody know if they have computers turned on with their operating systems running?
There was, there is and there will be so many manufacturers and computers making history in computer industry that I think at some point in time they will have to host the museum in a stadium...
this whole "retro" thing is making me reminisce about my old ZX Spectrum [C]... I think I'll dig in my back yard to see if I can find it...
Great videos! Scoble, did you actually have a second tape in your car?
The old guy who when nuts needs to get a live
Around 10 minutes into Part II, Gordon Bell mentions that Lisp was one of the many languages that came into existence around 1960 and John Toole mentions that the Museum's
Software Collection Committee is working on a project to track down historic Lisp source code. The work done so far is online at
http://community.computerhistory.org/scc/projects/LISP/ and a similar project exists for the original FORTRAN system at
http://community.computerhistory.org/scc/projects/FORTRAN/ . Other projects are underway for Doug Englebart's NLS/Augment system and for the APL programming language. We welcome more
Paul McJones
These videos were great! More! More!
Great video...thanks to all involved.

* donut core memory
I think the Google server being out of place was a practical joke by the Google folks, or a feeble attempt to alter history by saying they've been around longer than they really have.
Great video and now I'm interested in that guys car.
I agree that the guy who yelled needs to take a chill pill. Someone who lives near the museum and has a little bit of free time should make a duplicate of that thing and switch it on him.
Have Scoble come back for part 3 and Scoble should trip and fall into it shattering it into pieces. Then zoom into the guys face. That would be hilarious.

Late Model Hemi - Gen III GiveawayWritten by on June 15, 2012 Genn III 5.7L Hemi stroked, and you can win it!
The annual Carlisle All- Chrysler Nationals event is rapidly approaching (July 6-8, 2012), meaning it's once again time for us to head off to Muscle Motors up in Lansing, Michigan, to document the assembly and dyno testing of a potent engine combo that some lucky Mopar maven will win at Carlisle. How potent? This year's giveaway engine is a Gen III 5.7L Hemi stroked to something over 392 cubic inches, yet topped with a Quick Fuel Technology carburetor and standalone MSD Hemi 6 electronic ignition controller for straightforward plug-and-play installation in someone's deserving project. Maybe yours.
Mike Ware, head honcho at Muscle Motors, sees lots of cost-effective potential in the readily available Gen III Hemi architecture. As supplies of venerable old LA and RB cores dwindle, the reverse is true of the 5.7L Hemi, which continues to increase in both availability and affordability on the used market. And, as we'll see, thanks to Muscle Motors and the ever-expanding aftermarket, these modern Hemis can make a great foundation for a project engine.
More Photos From This Article View Slideshow
1 This project's foundation is a seasoned Gen III Hemi block that has been squared, decked, and align-honed, etc. at Muscle Motors. These iron 5.7 blocks use the same 4.46-inch bore spacing as the old LA-series of small-blocks. Muscle Motors bored the block to 0.030-inch over (3.947 inches), and you can see there's still plenty of meat left between the cylinders. The sturdy, deep-skirt construction of these Gen III blocks puts their weight somewhere between that of the LA small-block and RB big-block. By the way, if contemplating your own Gen III Hemi buildup, Muscle Motors recommends starting with a 2008-or-older block, as newer blocks had some changes (required for variable cam timing, etc.) that would complicate the use of aftermarket parts.2 Bottom-end rigidity won't be a problem area, as the 5.7's factory main bulkheads and caps are clearly beefy, and Muscle Motors has upped the main fasteners to ARP studs. The large holes on the pan rail are the block's internal oil return passages.3 Each of the five main caps is also secured by a pair of cross bolts (arrow), so they're going nowhere. Again, stronger ARP bolts have been substituted on this build for the OEM fasteners.4 To assure the proper clearance of rod fasteners with our stroker crankshaft, we had to machine a very small clearance notch (arrow) at the base of each cylinder.5 Orientation of the caps is critical, as the factory main-bearing design features opposing tangs as seen here. Our Gen III buildup uses Clevite H-Series (high performance) bearings with 180-degree oil grooves, and enlarged side chamfers for increased crank-fillet clearance.6 Muscle Motors' Scott Marrison nestles Manley's forged 4340 steel crankshaft in place. Its 4.050-inch stroke will result in a nice, historic 392 cubic inches with a stock bore. Our slight over bore job means this go-fast giveaway will really be packing just over 396 cubes (but, to simplify, let's just call it a 392). Crankshaft journal diameter is 2 inches, and the counterweights are profiled for 6.125-inch connecting rods. Visible near Scott's left hand is the 32-tooth reluctor (crank trigger) wheel, chosen to work with Chrysler's most cost-effective 2006 to 2008 crankshaft position sensor that will be harnessed to the MSD ignition controller (2009-and-up Hemi crankshafts have a 58-tooth reluctor.)7 All Gen III Hemi engines are internally balanced, and Muscle Motors neutralized the Manley stroker crank in-house, using slugs of dense mallory metal as needed. If you like, your Manley crankshaft can be sent to you already balanced.8 After being dimensionally checked, the Manley H-beam rods get a wash. These are of 6.125 inches in length (the factory powder-metal rods measure 6.246 inches) and, as previously noted, measure 2 inches in diameter at the big end. Manley, in fact, catalogs them as small-block Chevy rods, but we won't tell anyone.9 Next to seasoned factory hypereutectic 5.7 pistons is one of our project's Mahle forged pistons, with coated skirts. Though not visible in this shot, it's dome profile is about the same as the factory slug, giving our 392 a static compression of around 10.5:1 (with its reworked cylinder head chambers). You can see that the 1.5/1.5/3.0mm ring grooves are moved farther down from the piston top than in the factory configuration, providing room for valve relief cutouts that will allow a decently aggressive cam. Piston weight is about 439 grams.
10 After bolting the rod and piston combo in place, Scott checks the rod side clearance at 0.013 inch. This meticulous--and no doubt sometimes monotonous--hecking of dimensions, clearances, and trueness is among the most important aspects of engine building.11 With the bottom end buttoned up, Scott inserts the custom-ground Comp Cams hydraulic-roller bumpstick into its rather high tunnel in the block. Muscle Motors spec'd this cam with an eye towards a broad torque curve, a street-worthy idle, and horsepower that peaks at reasonable rpm. Gross lift is .577/.577 (factory is .472/.460), duration at .050 inch is 238/240 (versus 192/196), with a lobe separation of 112 degrees.12 The cam works through a fresh set of OEM Mopar roller lifters, inserted into their bores in groups of four. These rather long lifters combined with the cam's high position in the block permit reasonably short pushrods--6.550 inches on the intake side and 7.800 on the exhaust. The pushrods are drilled with oil passages. This shot also shows the valve relief pockets in the pistons, and that the pistons at TDC are flush with the deck.13 Manley's adjustable double-roller timing chain is similar in design to the single-roller factory version, but makes it easy to advance or retard cam timing up to eight degrees during installation. Note that the rectangular holes in the ring attached to the cam gear are read by the engine's cam position sensor, which, along with the crankshaft sensor, will feed signals to the MSD Hemi 6 ignition controller.14 With the short-block more or less complete, let's have a look at the heads. Mike Ware likes to stick with 5.7 castings on his Gen III Hemi long-block combos, and not just because they are the most available and affordable. More importantly, Mike feels that port volume and cross section on the rarer and pricier 6.1 or 6.4 heads are so large as to hinder low-lift flow velocity. That said, he did CNC port our factory 5.7 castings, but purposely kept volumes smaller than on 6.1 heads to promote velocity and, therefore, torque. He also enlarged the intake valve seat to 2.100-inch diameter, allowing use of 6.1-spec 2.08-inch Manley valves (the factory 5.7 intake valve is a smallish 2 inches). Exhaust valves are also upsized from the factory's 1.55 inches to 1.60 (which does not require seat mods).15 In the foreground is a factory 5.7 aluminum head casting. Compare its open-chamber contours (arrow) to our project's reworked head behind it, which has had material welded in and machined to increase quench, theoretically increasing chamber combustion efficiency and reducing chances of detonation, thereby permitting a higher compression ratio. This closed-chamber shape is very similar to what the factory is now using on the latest 6.4 Hemi.16 Initial calculations notwithstanding, we double checked valve-to-piston clearance by trial fitment of a head and rotating the crankshaft through a full intake/exhaust cycle with clay in one piston's valve relief pockets. This verified plenty of clearance (around 0.185 inch).17 A pair of factory rocker shafts (with their 1.6:1 ratio) are employed. Here, Scott is fitting the intake-side shaft (in between the two shafts are the chimney-like spark plug tunnels). Our lumpier cam demanded upgraded Comp Cams beehive valvesprings.
19 A factory gerotor-style oil pump is well up to the task, as the same one is used on the SRT 6.1 and 6.4 variants. The arrows are pointing to spacers that are required by, and supplied with, Manley's double-roller timing chain.20 Thanks to the increased stroke, strategically placed slots had to be cut into the otherwise-stock Hemi windage tray, in order to clear the rod fasteners. Though not as shown in our completed engine photo, a new Milodon 6-quart oil pan will be part of the giveaway engine, specifically designed to work in '59 through '74 A-, B-, C-, and E-Bodies.21 Mike isn't impressed by the currently available low-rise carb-style manifolds for the power levels he wants this Gen III Hemi to achieve, and so he opted for Mopar's lofty, single-plane Challenger Drag Pak high-riser. Incidentally, Muscle Motors will soon be manufacturing a similar intake, but one that will be a bit shorter, a bit more affordable, and will accept a Dominator-style carb. Speaking of carbs, the giveaway 392 gets a very tunable Race-Q Series 750 from Quick Fuel Technology. This shot also shows the project engine's OEM valve covers and coil packs.22 Quick Fuel's Race-Q has five-stage emulsion billet metering blocks for the ultimate in tunability, and wears these highly accessible quick-change jet plugs, for jet swaps without removing the fuel bowls. Whoever wins the Gen III 392 will have no trouble keeping it in tune.23 Helping out in that regard is MSD's Hemi 6 ignition controller. It fires the coil packs with input from the Hemi's crank, cam, and MAP sensors, and comes with software for quick tuning adjustments on timing curves, two-step limits, nitrous retard, and boost/timing mapping.24 Shown here prior to having its Quick Fuel Technology 750 carb and MSD Hemi 6 ignition controller fully plumbed, and sans front accessory dress, Muscle Motors' stroked Gen III Hemi will make a formidable project powerplant. Due to some dyno technical difficulties beyond our control, we were unfortunately unable to do any dyno tuning with the engine, but rest assured, when it gets to Carlisle, it will have been tested and tuned. In fact, you'll be able to hear it run throughout the weekend at the event. Finally, someone will win it--in fully finished form, of course--at the All-Chrysler Nationals in Carlisle.

I'll be camping in Scandinavia during the winter, but I can't find any 1-person 4-season tents on REI or similar sites. Do these things exist?
Could it be that I can't find them because it's highly advised against? (Yikes!)
There is at least one option from Ferrino, but I am sure there are more from "mountain" brands. Maybe you should stop looking for "4 season" and start looking for extreme/mountaineering/alpinism solutions, because high mountain expeditions usually imply low temperatures and high winds. But make sure you the tent is not an "emergency" tent.
However you are right, sleeping in a 1-person tent in winter is not recommended at all, at least if you have relatively little experience in winter camping. In e.g. -10 or -20 C it is still cold when you sleep tightly packed with your friends, and it is much worse when you are alone. And if you make a mistake letting yourself to get too cold, there may be no one around to help you. So in winter people in my area tend to travel in relatively big groups and (if possible) to have a log stove inside their tent, which is obviously impossible with a small tent (please don't take this as an advice to burn any kind of stove inside you tent, it is always very risky).
If you still want to try, then there are some key points that you will want to check when shopping for your tent:

Montville ends Wolcott's season
WOLCOTT — Wolcott High's on-field leader, Mike Nicol, stood in the middle of Joe Monroe Field and told it like it was. No different from the way he's handled the past two memorable seasons in leading the Eagles to their only playoff appearances in the program's history.
This time, he called it a bittersweet feeling after the top-seeded Eagles dropped a 32-14 decision to eighth-seeded Montville in the CIAC Class M quarterfinals Wednesday night. The Eagles ended the season at 9-2.
"I have the best coaches and teammates behind me and I couldn't ask for anything more," said Nicol, the starting quarterback and safety.
Nicol paused and then gave credit where it was due.
"Montville is a very good team and they are big and strong and their defense got good pressure on every play," said Nicol.
Especially in the second half.
Once the second half began, the Indians (9-2) took control, dominating the line of scrimmage. Junior tailback Jeremiah Crowley (179 yards, 25 carries) was the beneficiary.
Crowley scored his second touchdown of the game on a 50-yard burst down the right sideline to give the Indians a 25-14 edge with 5:01 left in the third quarter.
"I just had perfect blocks," said Crowley. "The holes were there the whole night and I couldn't have done it without my teammates."
While Montville's offense began clicking, Wolcott's stalled. The Eagles punted three times and had a turnover in four second-half possessions.
The second half was totally different from the first 24 minutes, as the Eagles trailed only by five, 19-14, at halftime.
"It was definitely a winnable
See WOLCOTT, Page 5C
game," noted Nicol.
On the opening drive of the game, Wolcott junior Joe Lynch scored on a 36-yard TD run in the first quarter, and Joseph Keeley's PAT kick made it 7-0 with 9:53 left.
But Crowley responded moments later with his first TD on a 19-yard run, and the Indians tied the score on Brandon Robertson's PAT kick.
Then came the momentum shift when Montville's Buddy Dewaine Jr. returned an interception 87 yards for a touchdown, sprinting down the right sideline. Wolcott co-captain Jim Nelson knocked down the two-point conversion and it appeared that would jump-start the Eagles.
Nicol drove the Eagles down the field and connected with Ryan Caggiano on a 12-yard touchdown pass. Caggiano leapt high to snag the ball away from the defender. Keeley's PAT gave the Eagles a 14-13 edge with 7:08 left in the half.
"We definitely had the momentum after that," said Caggiano.
But it was short-lived, as Montville quarterback Nicholas Clemons ran for a 14-yard TD run wit 4:03 left. While Jayson Matos stopped Clemons on the conversion run, Montville had a 19-14 edge.
"Having a halftime lead was huge for us," said Clemons. "I have to give a lot of credit to our defensive line. We knew that if we could contain their quarterback (Nicol), we would be OK, and they did."
Nicol had 20 rushing touchdowns and 1,226 rushing yards through 10 regular-season games, but was limited to only 20 yards Wednesday.
Wolcott had two opportunities to score in the first half only to see two penalties prevent that from happening, first on a holding penalty nullifying a 58-yard TD reception by Mat Cyr from Nicol, and second, a personal foul on Nicol, who leapt high and hurdled a Montville defender, which is not allowed.
"We had some opportunities and just didn't capitalize on them," said Wolcott coach Jason Pace. "Montville is a big, physical team and they played hard the entire game. So did we. I am proud of the effort we gave. We never quit."
Even in defeat, Caggiano found the upside.
"We had a special season and it wasn't just about football," said Caggiano. "It was about teamwork and a strong brotherhood. We have a lot of great memories, things we'll never forget. The program is strong and I know the underclassmen will make another good run next year."

David J. Phillip, Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — Thanks to two big swings and some excellent defense, the St. Louis Cardinals are one win from the World Series.
Just like last year.
Matt Holliday and pinch-hitter Shane Robinson connected for the first home runs of the NL championship series, sending St. Louis past the Los Angeles Dodgers 4-2 Tuesday night for a 3-1 lead in their best-of-seven playoff.
"We can't get ahead of ourselves," Holliday said.
In a series starved for offense, the Cardinals scored as many runs as they did in the first three games combined, when the teams totaled nine.
Game 5 is Wednesday afternoon at Dodger Stadium, with the Cardinals looking to clinch their 19th pennant. Zack Greinke is set to start for Los Angeles against Joe Kelly.
Of course, St. Louis had a 3-1 lead in last year's NLCS before dropping three straight to San Francisco, the eventual World Series champion.
"We don't feel this is over by any means," infielder Daniel Descalso said. "You don't want to have that feeling again, losing three games in a row when you're so close to getting there. Just because you're up 3-1, it doesn't mean anything. Nobody's going to roll over for you. We've got to keep pushing and keep grinding."
It was a painful defeat for the Dodgers — in more ways than one. Star shortstop Hanley Ramirez, playing with a broken left rib, left in the middle of the sixth after striking out three times.
"It felt worse than yesterday," Ramirez said. "It makes me angry."
Hitless in his previous 22 at-bats at Dodger Stadium, Holliday drove a two-run shot off Ricky Nolasco an estimated 426 feet to left field, capping a three-run third inning that gave the Cardinals a 3-0 lead.
"That's about as good as I can hit one," said Holliday, who was 0 for 13 in the series before connecting.
"I wasn't really doubting my swing at all. I felt actually really good with my at-bats. Sometimes in this game you don't always get the results that you want even if you feel like you're having good at-bats, so I just wanted to stay with it," he said.
Seeking a second World Series title in three years, St. Louis turned three important double plays and picked off a runner at second base in the seventh. Defensive standout Pete Kozma, inserted at shortstop in the sixth, started a difficult double play and darted in to complete the pickoff.
"A great heads-up play by him," Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said. "Then it has to be natural instincts and athleticism by (reliever) Carlos Martinez, and I don't know many guys pull that off. He has such athletic moves. He's quick in everything he does. Then to have the guts to wheel and let it fly like that in a game like we have right now, it's off the charts."
Second baseman Matt Carpenter also keyed St. Louis' sharp work with the gloves, one night after some sloppy play was costly in a 3-0 defeat.
Carpenter had an RBI double in the third that scored Descalso, who hit a leadoff single. Carpenter came around on Holliday's homer after there were none in the first three games for the first time in NLCS history.
Martinez pitched two scoreless innings to help nail down the win for starter Lance Lynn. Trevor Rosenthal got three outs for his second save in the series.
After a leadoff single by Andre Ethier in the ninth, Yasiel Puig grounded into a double play. Juan Uribe struck out to end it, leaving the Dodgers on the brink of elimination.
Now, they'll count on Greinke and ace Clayton Kershaw to pitch them back into the series.

Great Independent Designs
I've stumbled across some beautiful independently designed patterns lately, all making great use of Berroco yarns. Some are available online, and a couple are included in Weekend Hats, a brand new book by Cecily Glowik MacDonald and Melissa LaBarre. Here they are, in no particular order:
First up, Xandy Peters' lovely Nouvelle hat knit in Flicker. I love the textural detail on the side, and the subtle sparkle of Flicker is a perfect match for this sophisticated style.
Next, I love Karen Templer's use of Blackstone Tweed in her Super Simple Mitts pattern. As the name suggests, these wristwarmers are delightfully uncomplicated, and they put Blackstone Tweed's gorgeous texture in the spotlight.
From the Fall 2011 issue of Petite Purls, we have Capuchon, an adorable red cape designed by Tagil Perlmutter and knit in Lustra. Lustra's deep, saturated red color makes it a great choice, and the wool/Tencel blend drapes perfectly.
Weekend Hats includes 25 intriguing hat patterns, and two of them feature Berroco yarns. The first one is a Fair Isle masterpiece from Mary Jane Mucklestone. Called the Chroma Cap, her design uses seven shades of Ultra Alpaca to create a mesmerizing pattern.
Another hat pattern from the same book, the Lea Cloche, uses Blackstone Tweed. Designed by Cecily Glowik MacDonald, this cute cloche has a stylish but simple shape that shows off the subtle tweed flecks. A contrasting ribbon and button are added afterwards for extra flair.
It's always inspiring to see what other designers are doing with our yarns. I can't wait to see what they come up with next!
Great design choices. Especially love that first hat. But they're all knit aren't they? Any new crochet designs for your yarns?!March 5, 2012

look at for the new Vogue knitting crochet special magazine and Berroco has a jacket pattern on the web pageApril 24, 2012
I love the green hat. It is very trendy vintage-if that is a style!March 5, 2012

Weekend Hats has lovely designs but considering the price I was disappointed to find most of them in chart format they are small and need concentration and they did'nt offer a written version either on most of them otherwise I would have made them.
I have made many many hats from Woolly Wormhead's site..lovel lovely patternsApril 24, 2012

For the same speed and inclination, is the physics acting on the body equivalent? Lets assume the person keeps pace with something that moves perfectly uniformly.
I believe this is the kind of question you can answer right away using the principle of relativity:
But since the quick answer is obviously not all that evident, lets do it also the long way... The running gait has several distinct phases to it. Simplifying things to the maximum, there is a stance phase, while the foot is on the ground, and a flight phase, where the runner is basically in parabolic motion. During the stance, the legs recoil to drive you up again, but the horizontal velocity remains relatively constant. The image below shows a still of a video analysis of my own running gait I did using tracker. The graphs on the right are the x-t and y-t graphs for my hip, which is pretty close to the COM. There are many subtleties that can be taken into account, but this sort of supports the claim that horizontal speed is roughly constant throughout, and there is a parabolic flight phase.
To keep running you have to keep yourself hopping up and down. Ideally most of the upward push comes from recoil from the tendons, and all force is done in the vertical direction, so that the horizontal speed does stay constant.
Lets say your constant running speed is $u$, and you are gong up an incline of angle $\varphi$, and each of your hops has you leaving the ground with vertical speed $v$. The trajectory of your center of mass will be:
$$x=tu\cos \varphi$$ $$y = tv -\frac{1}{2}gt^2$$
You will find yourself again on the ground solving the above system for $y=x\tan\varphi$, so after a time $t=2v/g-2u\sin\varphi/g$ you will find yourself a horizontal distance $x=\frac{2u\cos\varphi}{g}(v-u\sin\varphi)$ further forward, which is a distance $l=\frac{2u}{g}(v-u\sin\varphi)$ further forward along the incline.
Right before pushing off, the runner had KE per unit mass$\frac{1}{2} u^2$, after pushing off, $\frac{1}{2}(u^2\cos^2\varphi+v^2)$, so each hop costs you an energy expenditure of $\frac{1}{2}(v^2-u^2\sin^2\varphi)$.
To the hopping, you have to add the work per unit mass done to keep yourself moving upwards during stance, which is $t_s u g \sin\varphi$.
Now let the floor start moving down at that same speed $u$, as in a treadmill. Now during the stance phase your center of mass remains stationary, and the parabolic flight turns into
$$x=0$$ $$y = t(v-u\sin\varphi) -\frac{1}{2}gt^2$$
Before hopping you were at rest, so your KE per unit mass was zero, right after take off you are moving at a speed $v-u\sin\varphi$, so not surprisingly, the energy cost of your hops is again $\frac{1}{2}(v^2-u^2\sin^2\varphi)$.
What about stance? It is tempting to say that, since your center of mass isn't moving, there is no energy expenditure, and that therefore running on a treadmill is only equivalent to real world running if ground contact time is zero, which is never the case. This is of course not true. Because you are standing still in a gravity field, there has to be a force $g$ per unit mass pushing you upwards. This force is happening at the contact point of the foot and the treadmill, and the treadmill is moving down with a speed $u\sin\varphi$, so mechanical work is being done at the rate $ug\sin\varphi$ per unit mass. This is, again not surprisingly, the same as before.
No it isn't. Walking on ground raises or lowers your center of gravity (over hills and valleys) and that requires work $W=m g h$. On a treadmill the only energy you expend is due to the inefficiency of your stride.
Update 1
Here is the engineering proof that when the treadmill angle equals the hill angle the problem is NOT the same:
Torque on motor (based on linear controller set at constant speed $\omega_0 = v_0/r$)
Equations of motion for motor based on projected load along the treadmill direction $W\sin\theta$.
$$T=I\dot{\omega}-r (W\sin\theta)$$
Solution based on $t = \int \frac{1}{\dot \omega}\,{\rm d} \omega $
The distance traveled is not needed but included here for fun.
The work done is based on force times speed integral over time
$$E=\int_{0}^{t_{f}} ( W\sin\theta) \, (r \omega(t)) \,{\rm d}t$$
and it should be equal to the work done by the walker on a hill moving with speed $v_0=\omega_0 r$
$$E=W\sin\theta v_{0}t_{f}$$.
This can only be accomplished when $$e^{\Phi}\left(\Phi-1\right)+1=0$$ with $\Phi=\frac{d\, t_{f}}{I\omega_{0}}r^{2}$.
The above is only zero when $\Phi=0$, which means the treadmill is never equivalent to a walker up a hill.

The Nishnabotna and Sidney baseball teams will put win streaks on the line in the hopes of maintaining momentum for postseason on Tuesday night at Sidney.
After opening up the season with a loss to East Mills, the Sidney team has reeled off 12 straight victories, including a win over the Blue Devils early in the season.
Early season losses to conference foes will keep Nishnabotna from challenging Sidney for the conference title, but the Blue Devils have recovered nicely with 12 straight wins of their own. The Blue Devils have scored double digit runs in seven games dating back to June 19.
Although the conference race is decided, Tuesday's game still has importance.
The Blue Devils will be looking to show the Cowboys just how much they have improved since the early season meeting of the two teams and mark itself as a Regional Tourney contender.
Sidney and Nishnabotna figure to be heading toward a Regional semifinal clash in Essex on July 12.
Tuesday's action in Sidney begins at 6 p.m. with the junior varsity game.
