GLEN DALE - It didn't take long for new John Marshall athletics director Casey Storm to spring his vision for the school into action. Storm introduced Brock Melko and Luke Samples as girls' and boys' basketball coaches Wednesday at the school, which continues to usher in a new era.
''My main two goals have been to unite the different teams together and to hire the best coaches that we could,'' Storm said. "It's really, really important to me.
"I think if you get the hire right everything else kind of comes into line.''
Storm, who played and coached basketball at John Marshall, takes over for the outgoing Chuck Duckworth.
''He has almost let me go for two years and do things, and then I had him there to say 'am I doing this OK? What would you do in this situation?' " Storm said. "Most ADs would not have given up control like Chuck has.
''He's been an unbelievable mentor to me.
"He's let me be an AD in training for two years, and that's helped.''
Now Storm is putting his own stamp on things, and prospective employees have already taken notice.
Just ask Samples, a graduate of both Oak Glen and Glenville State who has spent the last six years in the Eastern Panhandle at Hampshire.
''It's just an unbelievable place to be with everyone on the same page, which I am not used to,'' said Samples, 27, a Health and Physical Education teacher. ''I feel the community should be excited. What is there not to be excited for?
"We all have each others' backs and one goal in mind. Who knows how long it will take to get there?
"With the right people to get it there, the sky is the limit."
Storm calls Samples a "program builder,'' judging from his success at Hampshire, which he led to respectable heights despite essentially having to survive on the table scraps of state powers Martinsburg, Washington and Hedgesville. Samples said he is glad to be back in a blue-collar environment, the type he has thrived in during the past.
''Basically I want to get five Luke Samples out on that floor,'' he said. ''I was never the most athletic but I worked hard, I boxed out, I rebounded and was strong and physical. That's what my teams play like - strong and physical.
''You're going to know you played us when you leave the gym, win or lose.''
Melko, a Math teacher, also graduated from John Marshall (2009) and played for the Monarchs, following in Storm's path and taking an assistant boys' job the last five years. The 23-year-old who is replacing Mark McCormick, who is taking on an assistant AD role, said coaching is in his blood, having learned from both his father and grandfather.
''I'm thrilled to get a chance to see what I can do,'' said Melko, who helped lead JM to its lone boys' basketball state tournament appearance. ''I've always been a fan of John Marshall and I went here.
''I could never imagine being anywhere else.''
Melko, whose team will move its games this season from the high school to the John Marshall Field House in Moundsville, admits switching from coaching boys to girls will be a little bit of an adjustment, but noted that hard work isn't gender specific.
''I had been with the boys for five years so I kind of got used to them and made some relationships. I'm looking forward to doing the same with the girls, getting to know them and building some connections ... getting them to buy in and trust me,'' Melko said. ''Not just basketball, the girls at this school ... whether it's track, volleyball, softball, there are some very talented girls with a lot of potential. All I am going to ask is for them to put the work in.
''If they put the work in, who is to say how far we will go. But the talent is there to work with, for sure.''
Assembling coaching staffs are in the very beginning stages, but the new duo is going to jump into the community head-first, beginning with a soon-to-be-announced joint basketball camp at the school.
''We're going to do them on the same days so we can help each other out,'' Melko said. "That's one of the most important things, is to get the youth and grade schools interested and get into contact with the parents.
''But I think working with the boys and girls together is going to bring the community in as a whole.''
Samples, who began texting Melko on Tuesday night after the the Marshall County Board of Education approved recommendations for their hirings, is all for collaboration.
''Me and Brock, we have already worked on stuff,'' said Samples, whose legendary 3-pointer against Magnolia in a Class AA Regional at the JM Field House, is arguably the biggest shot hit in that gym in the last two decades. ''It was a magical shot and it's still probably the single greatest moment of my life because I have dedicated my life to the game of basketball.
''I don't think anything happens by coincidence. There's a reason why I am back here ... to make more moments like that.''

7 "Eccentric" Geniuses Who Were Clearly Just Insane
#3. Nikola Tesla, Physicist & Engineer, 1856-1943
The Genius:
Finally getting the posthumous credit his work deserves, Nikola Tesla offered an astonishing number of contributions to science. Our personal support of Tesla is already well documented. And again. But, you don't have to take our word for it. Labeled by Robert Lomas as "the man who invented the 20th century", Nikola Tesla played a major part in the discovery of:
-A/C Electricity
-Nuclear Physics
The Insanity:
Tesla suffered from Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder. So, for instance, where Michelangelo's personal hygiene was appallingly bad, Tesla's was appallingly good--cripplingly so. Tesla was a severe germophobe and refused to touch anything bearing the slightest hint of dirt. Tesla also refused to touch anything round, which makes some quite obvious hurdles for an engineer.
Apart from dodging germs and round objects, Tesla's OCD manifested itself in threes. Before entering a building, he would walk three times around the block. When staying in hotels, he insisted on a room number divisible by three. At each meal, he would use 18 napkins: three stacks of six.
Why he needed 18 napkins instead of, say, three, indicates that he apparently was not afraid of a nice rack of barbecue ribs.
#2. Empedocles, Greek Scientist & Philosopher, 490-430 B.C.
The Genius:
Empedocles may have been among the most renowned geniuses in history if not for the fact that his stunning contributions to science are offset by his even more stunning contributions to bullshit. Some 450 years before Jesus, Empedocles discovered:
-That light travels at a speed
-That Earth is a sphere
-Centrifugal force
-That air is a substance, not an absence of substance.
-An (admittedly very crude) theory of evolution
-The Italian school of medicine
The Insanity:
Empedocles believed he was a god. Not in the 80's hair-band sense or the guy who can beat Mario Bros 3 in 11 minutes sense, but in the literal thunderbolts-from-the-sky and immortality sense. To prove his immortality to his understandably skeptical peers, Empedocles announced that he would jump into a volcano--Mt Etna--and pop back out unscathed.
From the words of none-too-impressed poet Richard Osborne:
"Great Empedocles, that ardent soul;
Leapt into Etna, and was roasted whole"
#1. Yukio Mishima, Japanese Author, 1925-1970
The Genius:
By age 12, Yukio Mishima had acquired a comprehensive knowledge of Oscar Wilde. At 24, he published Confessions of a Mask, which hoisted him to the top of Japanese literary circles. Over the next 20 years he published another 20 major works, was nominated for three Nobel prizes, and solidified his status as the most recognized novelist in Japanese history.
The Insanity:
The image you see up there is the cover of Mishima's essay, "Sun and Steel", featuring the author himself in his samurai sword/jockstrap combo. We've included text below for posterity, but any further argument for his insanity is probably redundant after having seen that picture.
In 1968, Mishima founded the cult Tatenokai, or Shield Society. The cult consisted exclusively of himself and homo-erotically well-physiqued teenage boys. They spent their time lifting weights, practicing martial arts, and swearing their unconditional devotion, not to Mishima, but to the Emperor of Japan.
On November 26, 1970, Mishima stormed the Japanese defense headquarters with the intention of overthrowing the country by coup. His forces consisted of:
-Four homo-erotically well-physiqued teenage boys
-A sword
With tremendous foresight, he soon realized he was a little under-equipped, and took to the balcony to recruit defense force personnel.
In a fervent speech, he asked a group of bewildered gawkers to hand up their lives for the Emperor, do whatever the Emperor asked of them, and accept the Emperor as divinity. There were two problems with his message:
1. It was 1970. The Emperor held zero political influence over Japan. He existed for people to wave at once a year and was in no peril whatsoever. The idea of dedicating one's life to his protection was the Japanese equivalent of asking people to give their life for Punxsutawney Phil.
2. The Emperor himself was nothing but embarrassed by the cult, publicly refuted his own divinity, and asked only that Mishima and his chiseled cabaret act leave him alone.
Unsurprisingly, Mishima's speech yielded a total of 0 recruits. Mishima stepped down from the balcony, returned to the room which he had barricaded, and committed Seppuku--ritual suicide. We're assuming this was most people's first clue that he was actually serious.

I'm already planning my next vacation in next May or late August/early September. I'm planning to visit the Southeastern part of Europe. Im especially interested in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, Albania, Macedonia, Bulgaria, Romania and Serbia. The time limit is 4 to 6 weeks. I´m interested in tips that are worth a visit, especially cities and natural sights, so that I can plan a great tour.

There are either too many possible answers, or good answers would be too long for this format. Please add details to narrow the answer set or to isolate an issue that can be answered in a few paragraphs.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
If hiking interests you, I'd recommend the Rhodope mountains in Bulgaria -- there are a lot of popular tourist trails between the mountain refuges. The mountain is virtually uninhabited (there are a few large-ish towns and small villages), so if you are tired of civilization, this might be something to consider.
Depending on your interests, you can choose between historical sites (such as Perperikon, which I highly recommend), natural wonders (Trigrad Gorge, Marvelous Bridges, etc.), spa centers/mineral water resorts (for example, Velingrad and its surrounds), ski resorts (e.g. Pamporovo), caves (Devil's throat) or Christian monasteries (Bachkovo Monastery).
Following most of the trails could take between 2-3 days up to a week or more, depending on your time constraints, and you'd probably still miss some places of interest. The best time to travel is from late spring to mid-summer, when the temperatures will be high enough to travel without too much equipment.
Drop a note if you need some further pointers, I'd be happy to help.
Disclaimer: Being Bulgarian, I'm obviously biased, so take this with a grain of salt.
In Montenegro: UNESCO-protected Kotor Old Town, Ostrog Monastery, Cetinje (Historical Capital), Skadar Lake. If you have enough time, it would be nice to see some mountains too: Zabljak, Durmitor, as well as Biogradska gora.
If you'd like to take part in night life than Budva is very good and while you're there, you could visit Budva Old Town. Also Maximus is located in Kotor and it is the biggest night club in Montenegro.
In Bosnia, must sees are Sarajevo (2/3 days should be enough), and Mostar (1 day).
Well I can recommend the Transylvanian mountains in Romania. Bucharest you'll likely go through (the capital) but I found it a bit dull and oppressive. Head out to Brasov in the mountains, a fantastic town, and with lots to do in the mountains all around, from Bran Castle (marketed as Dracula's castle), a mountain fortress and more. And if you're lucky, you'll see some bears as well!
In Bosnia, besides Sarajevo and Mostar, there is Pocitelj, Kravice waterall, Hutovo Blato, even Stolac (all Herzegovina is very lovely).

"We just kept battling and finally got a win down here."
The win, which was Indian Creek's first at Martins Ferry under Connor, keeps the Redskins in the thick of the Region 11 playoff chase. Indian Creek was 10th in last week's ratings.

"One thing we know playing Martins Ferry, they are not going to beat themselves," Connor related. "Our kids showed a tremendous amount of resiliance after the first half miscues."
Martins Ferry. meanwhile, fell to 5-2 on the season. The loss is a setback for the Purple Riders postseason chances in Division IV. The Purple entered the weekend in sixth position.
"Indian Creek has a very nice team," Martins Ferry head coach Dave Bruney said. "They are a senior dominated team. Both teams played extremely hard.
"It was an intense, good high school football game. Obviously, we don't like losing but a game like this gives our young kids a chance to improve. We battled for four intensity-filled quarters."
Things got off to a great start for the hosts.
Receiving the opening kickoff, the Riders lined up in "the wildcat" with shifty junior Brian Styles breaking free for a 72-yard burst to the Creek one. Rugged senior Sean McGee bulled in from a yard out. Freshman Arjay Burress was true on the PAT making it 7-0 just 1:47 into the game.
Creek drove deep into Ferry territory but Rider senior Cody Schau picked off an Alex Young pass at his own five to thwart the threat.
A Ferry three-and-out gave Creek possession near midfield and again the Redskins marched deep into Ferry territory before settling for a Young 41-yard FG try which was wide left.
Another Ferry three-and-out allowed Creek to set up shop at its 38-yard line. The Redskins needed 11 plays culminating in a 27-yard TD from Young to Corey Goodrich which came on fourth-and-13. Young's PAT knotted things at 7-7.
After another Ferry punt, Creek moved deep into Purple territory but Styles stepped in front of Young's pass and returned it to the Ferry 30.
Two plays later, junior signal caller Eric Flowers found Schau on a slant and the senior shook a tackler and broke free for a 63-yard TD. Burress nailed the point after to make it 14-7 with 7:05 left in the second quarter.
Creek put together an 8-play drive on the ensuing series but Ferry's Zac Coole pounced on a fumble at the Riders' 23.
The Redskins got another crack with 1:08 showing and Young's passing moved IC into the red zone with :12 showing. Young scrambled to left and just before going out of bounds found junior Blake Roar in the corner of the end zone for the score.
Young connected on the extra point to tie things at 14-all with :03 showing.
"The score before the first half was really big," Connor explained. "That was just a critical score with all that went wrong in the first half and to be tied at the half was really big for us."
"We had guys in position to make plays on both of the first half touchdowns, but we just didn't make the play," Bruney said. "Give Creek credit though because they did make the play."
The second half belonged to the Redskins.
Indian Creek took the kickoff and immediately put together a seven-play drive with Young covering the final three yards for the score. The kick failed and IC held a 20-14 edge with 9:01 left in the third quarter.
Ferry's best second half threat saw the Riders driving inside the Creek 30, but Ferry was forced to give the ball over on downs.
Creek salted the game away with a 61-yard drive with Roar plowing in from three yards out. Young booted the point after extending the lead to 27-14 with 11:11 showing in the fourth.
Indian Creek racked up 301 yards on the ground with senior Logan Woods leading the way with 167 yards on 18 totes. Indian Creek's offensive line of Mark Wojciechowski, Justin Gibson, Paul Eakle, Jake Mamula and the right tackle tandem of Levi Flesher and Shane Winland did great work.
Young passed for 127 stripes and rushed for 60 more.
The Creek defensive line also played well led by senior defensive end Montel McClelland.
"Our defensive line was key in the second half," Connor said. "We didn't have to blitz a lot to get pressure which allowed us to read our keys and make plays."
Styles led the Ferry offense with 93 rushing yards on eight carries. Flowers completed 8-of-20 passes for 100 yards with Schau being his favorite target with three catches for 76 yards.
Indian Creek's playoff push continues next week with a huge game in Wintersville where Harrison Central visits. Martins Ferry will look to regroup as Edison visits.

(This question was posted on math.stackexchange a week ago at http://math.stackexchange.com/questions/187315/definitive-source-about-dirichlet-finally-proving-the-unit-theorem-in-the-sistinbut and still has received no answers there, so I hope it's okay to post it here too.)
In a few books or survey articles (e.g., page 49 of Helmut Koch's "Number Theory: Algebraic Numbers and Algebraic Functions") it is said that Dirichlet figured out a proof of the unit theorem while listening to an Easter concert in the Sistine Chapel. My question is: what is the evidence for this story?
From an internet search I found that Kummer wrote on p. 343 of volume 2 of Dirichlet's collected works that Dirichlet could work on math in all kinds of situations, and then Kummer says "Als Beispiel hierfür kann ich anführen, dass er die Lösung eines schwierigen Problems der Zahlentheorie, womit er sich längere Zeit vergeblich bemüht hatte, in der Sixtinischen Kapelle in Rom ergründet hat, während des Anhörens der Ostermusik, die in derselben aufgeführt zu werden pflegt" (translation: "As an example I can say that he found the solution to a difficult problem in number theory, which he had worked on for a considerable amount of time without success, in the Sistine Chapel in Rome while he was listening to the Easter music that tends to be played there.")
Notice Kummer does not say precisely what the "difficult problem" was. Maybe it is just an oral tradition that the problem is the unit theorem, but I would like a more definitive source.
I don't read German well, but if you do then Kummer's essay on Dirichlet can be read online. It starts on http://archive.org/stream/glejeunedirichl00dirigoog#page/n323/mode/1up and page 343 is http://archive.org/stream/glejeunedirichl00dirigoog#page/n355/mode/1up.

I dont understand how exactly stencil buffer works in openGL. One aspect that confuses me is why do we use a bit operator there in glStencilFunc. Some text say that is is used to achieve multiple stencil planes but I am not sure how that can be done. Can anybody please explain the whole procedure of stencil buffer calculation during the rendering cycle. Thank you.
Okay, this does sound like something you can do with stenciling. Stenciling is generally used in conjunction with Multipass Rendering.
Multipass Rendering
Multipass Rendering basically refers to a rendering loop where multiple renders a performed per frame. Each pass may use a different configuration of OpenGL (e.g. with different stenciling settings) and render the same or different artifacts. The pseudo code would look something like this:
In your case, you will need a rendering pass for each layer of rectangles so that you can prepare the stencil buffer before each pass.
Your Problem
Effectively, you want to restrict the pixels that can be drawn in each rendering pass to the set of pixels that were drawn in the previous rendering pass. To do this, you are going to need to do three things:
Record the pixels you draw
This is where
The third argument is the important one, it determines what happens when a pixel is drawn (normally), to understand the function better, read the reference docs.
Only draw pixels that were also drawn in the previous rendering pass
This is a job for
You need to call it before every rendering pass to say 'only draw if the stencil buffer says I drew last time round'. Since the stencil buffer is being incremented each time, the value to test against needs to be incremented too. For example, the first three rendering passes should call
Just ignore the third parameter for now, read the reference documentation if want to know what it is.
EDIT: The third parameter is used when you want to do bit-wise tests against the stencil buffer value. Most implementations allow 8 bits in the stencil buffer (otherwise known as 8 planes). The third parameter allows you to mask out bits that you do not want to include in the test (by ANDing it with the second parameter before doing the test). Since I have used 1 as the third parameter, ANDing it has no effect. Also, since we are treating the stencil buffer as holding integers in this example, bit-wise tests don't make sense. By using these planes, though, we could potentially hold 8 stencils in the buffer at one time and choose which combination of stencils we want to use in each rendering pass.
Remove the record of which pixels have been drawn
Each frame you don't want to continue adding to the existing stencil buffer values just like you don't want to leave the previously rendered image in the frame buffer. You clear it in the same way you would clear the frame buffer too:
Or, do both at once:

Clams take well to the smoky flavor of the grill and taste fabulous served over pasta.
Serves: Serves 4 as an appetizer
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup white wine
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 32 littleneck clams, scrubbed
- 4 slices of good French bread, about 1in (2.5cm) thick
- 1/4 cup roughly chopped fresh parsley
- Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste

- Light a fire well over to one side of your grill, using enough coals to fill a shoebox. When the coals are all ignited, the flames have died down, and the temperature is hot (see Gauging the temperature), you're ready to cook.
- Put the butter, wine, garlic, and red pepper flakes in a shallow foil pan that is large enough to hold all the clams in a single layer and sturdy enough to resist the heat of the fire. Place the pan on the grill near the fire, not directly over it, and cook for about 2 minutes, stirring a few times, until the butter is melted and the mixture is fragrant. Let the sauce come to a simmer, then slide the pan over to the side of the grill away from the fire.
- Place the clams on the hot side of the grill, directly on the grill grate, and cook them until they pop open (8-10 minutes). Use tongs to transfer the clams to the pan containing the sauce as they are done. (Discard any clams that do not open.)
- While the clams are cooking, arrange the bread slices around the perimeter of the fire and grill until lightly toasted (about 2 minutes per side).
- When all the clams are in the pan, stir them around a bit to coat with the sauce, and sprinkle generously with parsley and salt and pepper. Serve them right out of the pan, along with the toasted bread to soak up the juices.

text: Hey ya'll time for another drawing lesson, and yes, this is another elemental dragon everyone keep bugging me for. Though, I've gotta say, this isn't really my best like the Ice dragon was, but it should suffice. I spent a lot of time trying to figure out something perfect for a dark dragon or a dragon of shadows. Therefore, I added wisps of shadow seering off the body to give it a darkly feel. The dragon itself took me 2 hours, which wasn't as bad as most of my tattoo work. If it wasn't for my Cintiq 12wx, I would have spent double the hours on it. Take your time while you draw this creature, there's a lot of proportional vows to pay attention to, like the face, wings, and the body. Try to refrain from making parts of the body smaller than what they should be by turning your paper upside down. Anyways, thanks for viewing and stay tuned for the Light dragon!!

If it's the smell of smoke in the kitchen you need to get rid of, boil lemon (or other citrus) peel in water for about 15 minutes. That should clear the air. As noted by FuzzyChef, you'll also need to scrub out your oven so that you don't reintroduce the smell when you next use the oven.

This is a guest blog post written by Denise Barnes in Central Reservations at English Lakes Support Office.
I was lucky enough to be invited to The Wild Boar to experience the Smoking Course which they run each month. I'm quite a foodie, so this was 'right up my street'.
Smoking experts, Georgina Perkins and Jo Hampson from Smoky Jo's, met our group at reception and we had a brief on what the course entailed. We learned the difference between hot smoking, cold smoking and how to make food safe through smoking.
Jo told us we were going to prepare certain foods, smoke them and get to taste them throughout the day. We were shown different types of smokers that any amateur smoker could purchase or adapt, like the infamous filing cabinet. These range from a few pounds to a few hundred pounds. Everyone was really impressed by the cardboard box smoker called the Eco Smoker. It's ingenious. Such a simple idea that anyone with an interest in smoking food can use. I think I have someone's Christmas present earmarked.
The outside area where the Smokehouse is situated is a lovely area in the grounds of The Wild Boar next to the vegetable plot. Jo showed us which apparatus we were going to smoke our food on throughout the day. We went back and forth between the Smoke House and the restaurant where we prepared the food.
We were given a piece of chicken to prepare for smoking. Given the choice of every type of herb and spice to flavour our chicken, I chose Chinese five spice, ginger and garlic. Outside again and the chicken fillets were put into the large oil drum smoker to cold smoke throughout the afternoon. Other vegetables, mushrooms and peppers were also put into the smoker.
Next, a piece of Salmon to prepare for our lunch. To flavour my piece of salmon I chose dill, honey and white wine. After sufficient time for the flavours to penetrate the salmon, they were placed into a stove top smoker by Marc Sanders, Head Chef at The Wild Boar and hot smoked.
We all settled down in the restaurant for lunch. Bread, dipping oils and sausages which had been smoked earlier outside were already on the table for us to enjoy.
Our salmon was served as our main course. Jo has a unique way of marking and remembering which piece of food belongs to whom by snipping different shapes from the fin and tail of the salmon. We also got to sample some cheeses which had spent over night in the smoke house. Brie, usually my least favourite cheese but after sampling smoked brie, it is now a new favourite!
After lunch we went back to Chef's table in the restaurant for our final product awaiting flavour. A whole trout – with eyes!! This was a challenge. Without catching its gaze, I flavoured mine with white wine and garlic. Back outside we went to see how our produce was getting on in the cold smoker. Lifting the lid up from the smoker caused great big puffs of smoke to bellow out.
The trout was experimented with. Some were put into the oil drum smoker and some put into a table top smoker to see how different flavours were achieved by the different smokers. By this time it was late afternoon and all of our food was left in the capable hand of Georgina where they would continue to smoke and then be cooked and served up for our evening banquet.
We returned to The Wild Boar in the evening with partners and family, I took my son who is a chef. The kitchen served up everything we had smoked along with other regular smoked delights produced by the Inn.
We had a tapas style starter followed by a fish course of scallops in a creamy sauce. The main course was also served tapas style, a mixture of smoked steaks fillet, sirloin and wild boar chop were placed on our table along with side orders of chips and onion rings. If anyone had space they could chose a dessert from the menu. What a fantastic evening!
Only a few hours earlier we had been a bunch of strangers but here we were reminiscing about a fun day and enjoying the fruits of our labour.

OK, so you spent all that time making the puff pastry, but now what? I like wrapping veggies and the like in the pastry for some kind of en croute creation like this, but I always save some dough to make some turnovers. I posted this recipe a while back, but since doing so I got my hands on a copy of Williams-Sonoma's Essentials of Baking and I think this method makes for a nice golden and well-baked turnover. Also, after making puff pastry I am in no mood to mess around with complicated filling.
- puff pastry
- peach jam
- frozen blueberries
- soy milk for brushing
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
1. How much puff pastry you need depends on how many turnovers you want to make. 1/2 recipe of the puff pastry will make 8 turnovers. If you are making 8, roll the chilled dough into a 9x18 inch rectangle. If you are making 4, make a 9x9 inch square. Cut in half lengthwise, then crosswise to make 8 squares (or four).
2. Spoon a generous tablespoon of peach jam slightly off centre in each square. Top with a few blueberries. Fold over to make a triangle, then seal edges with a fork. Place on the prepared sheet, cover, and refrigerate for 30 mins.
3. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. When the turnovers are chilled, brush them with soy milk and sprinkle sugar over top (regular or large grain). Poke the tops with a fork a few times then bake for 20 mins. Reduce heat to 350 degrees, rotate the pan, and bake for an additional 15 mins, or until golden and nicely puffed up.
4. Let cool for 15 mins in the pan, then serve.

2014 40th Annual Boston World of WheelsWritten by Chuck Vranas on May 21, 2014 Contributors: Chuck Vranas Hopped-up in Boston
A garage door creaks open to find the first rays of sun after being closed up for what seems like an eternity. The anxious car owner rolls his ride outside and fires it up for the first time after being worked on during the snow-filled winter months, sparking a new driving year to life. If it's the end of March you can be sure that the best way to kick off the show season is to head to the Seaport World Trade Center in Boston, Massachusetts, to check out the World of Wheels. Celebrating its 40th year, the show was the perfect way to shake off the cobwebs and take in an adrenalin-fueled weekend filled with big horsepower, vibrant colors, and an abundance of chrome. This year the show was packed to capacity with well over 200 of the area's most scorching hot rods, customs, muscle cars, restos, and motorcycles. While walking through the event your senses were consumed by plenty of dramatic rides laid out in numerous large displays, as many of them competed for the Pilgrim Award for the first time being shown in Boston. This year there were plenty of fresh builds from well-noted builders as well as individual owners, including Competition Specialties, Wilson & Steely Kustom Coachworks, Xtreme Restorations, Bruce Comboni, and Fred Morrison, to name but a few. While cruising through the show it was easy to check out many of the latest offerings from Chevrolet Performance, as well as those from Summit Racing, Meguiar's, Town Fair Tire, TREMEC, and others.
Once again custom legend Gene Winfield returned with his Chop Shop, this time lowering the lid on Chris Darque's 1959 Cadillac with the help of his fellow members of the Kingpin's Car Club. See, when Winfield rolls into town he really sets up shop, complete with a recreation of his famous building's exterior to make the experience complete. By the end of the weekend the Caddy rolled out into the night with a whole new attitude. If that wasn't enough you could have also checked out a reet spread of hop-ups in the Motorama area spotlighting traditional hot rods and customs, spun by the vintage pin-up contest, and stopped to view the Wild, Wild Horses exhibit celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the Ford Mustang. Another returning noteworthy focal point of the event was the excitement generated by the numerous celebrity appearances throughout the weekend. This year lucky visitors had a chance to meet WWE superstars Sheamus and Shawn Michaels, as well as Rick and Kelly Dale from the History channel's American Restoration. It was a perfect weekend to welcome the rodding season, get together with old friends, and even meet some new ones. Special thanks to the Lug Nuts Car Club who were the hosts for the show. You can check it all out at www.autorama.com.

One of the most alluring cars of the weekend was Fred Morrison's 1957 Olds Super 88 hardtop riding close to the ground on a Roadster Shop chassis deftly matched to big-inch Schott wheels. Power comes from a highly detailed GM 502ci big-block while dazzle comes from custom-blended PPG colors.To bring his Deuce to the next level, Dave Mirro worked with Phoenix Rod & Custom to give it a well-balanced chop while finessing the vintage steel to perfection. Mile-deep ruby red gloss is accented by a comfy leather office by Classic Auto Upholstery.Nothing says cool like a custom show rod and Bruce Comboni's '37 Chevy hauler nailed the look. Glowing in effervescent green pearl, the truck featured a custom spine packed with a dual-quad fed, 6-71 urged small-block V-8, lots of one-off fabrication, and even swivel-base seats.Mike Lookner's '65 Mercury Comet Cyclone came to life thanks to a decadent coating of House of Kolor Brandywine Kandy. Peter Newell of Competition Specialties made the body razor-sharp and laid down the vibe while Andy Lookner at Extreme Machine Unlimited filled the engine bay with 469ci of big-block Ford FE power.A perfect car to welcome the new drop-top season was Archie and Lynne DeFlorio's '56 Ford Sunliner. Freshly restored, it sported plenty of good looks, thanks to a vivid Raven Black and Mandarin Orange body accented by endless brightwork, and was powered by a 312ci Ford mill.For wicked performance Doug Juonis added a custom Hilborn stack injection to his Chevy small-block. His 1931 Ford sits on Deuce 'rails, has a stretched wheelbase, torsion bar front suspension, IRS, and Halibrand wheels.We bet Nick Cincotti has a blast rolling in his 1956 Ford F-100 pickup coated in polished black suede with an in-the-dirt stance. Classic accents like five-spokes with blackwalls, reverse-opening hood, and red and black interior make it one to remember.Todd Lewis and his team at Xtreme Restorations nailed it on Salt and Faye Philla's 1955 Ford Thunderbird giving it new life. Dipped in a vat of Fiesta Red, it has a 292ci V-8 linked to an automatic trans and a mirror-straight body.
This Shoebox was just plain tough with its nasty chop, shaved body, custom grille, and black steelies with spyder caps and rings.The Kingpin's Car Club brought plenty of their traditional hot rods and customs to display over the weekend, including chopped and slammed sleds and even a bare metal bobber pickup packed with loads of attitude.There were a number of finely crafted pedal cars entered from local high schools in the Pedal Car Challenge showing off their individual designs elements and style.Gene Winfield was at it again, this time in Boston operating his Chop Shop, lowering the lid on a 1959 Cadillac over the course of the weekend during the event. Here Winfield is pictured with the team lifting the top off for the first time.It didn't take long for the Caddy to lose its lid. Over the course of three days the car would get quite a bit of massaging to make everything come back together.

Lucian Bartoletti's 1957 Chevy Bel Air Has Some Irritating Driveability Issues.Written by Marlan Davis on September 4, 2013 We're Gonna Fix Them.
The Combo
Burbank, California's Lucian Bartoletti is a proud member of the legendary Road Kings of Burbank car club. Founded in 1952, the club's been in existence 61 years. Its storied membership rolls have included the likes of Tommy Ivo, Don Prudhomme, and Bob Muravez, among others.
Bartoletti built his 1957 Chevy for long-distance cruising with his buddies. A year ago, he dropped in a built, 377ci small-block Chevy with a healthy Comp Cams bumpstick backed up by a World Class T5 five-speed overdrive trans and an original '57 Chevy drop-out third-member rearend equipped with 3.73:1 gears and Positraction.
The Problem
From day one, the engine had irritating driveability issues. "After I put the motor in the car in 2012," Bartoletti relates, "We drove it to Morro Bay to attend the annual car show. The car ran bad. It was dripping fuel internally from the carb. I almost washed the motor down on the way." Bartoletti found and fixed the leak, but even so, the car didn't drive right. Under normal (not dead-cold) start-up conditions, there was an intermittent cough back through the carb, as well as an off-idle stumble when pulling away from a stoplight at light throttle: "I couldn't engage the clutch without the carb coughing back." The engine also ran rough, missed, and surged in high gear (Overdrive) between 1,800 and 2,000 rpm, "the exact rpm for freeway cruising in high gear." Yet it ran fine under wide-open-throttle acceleration.
Bartoletti's Attempted Fixes
So-called "experts" told Bartoletti the problem "had to be in the carb," so over the next year, he intermittently played with its calibration. To reduce off-idle stumble, Bartoletti increased the accelerator-pump shooter size, changed the pump cam, and adjusted the pump actuator linkage to preload the pump-diaphragm lever so it moved as soon as the throttle linkage moved. Trying to resolve his unstable part-throttle, steady-state-cruise issue, he installed a quicker-opening power valve and slightly leaned out the main jets. These changes helped a little, but the problem still persisted—so he asked us for help.
We sent the 1957 to Granatelli Motorsports. Based on the questions I asked him during his initial interview, in the days leading up to his HOT ROD to the Rescue appointment it occurred to Bartoletti that he'd never considered the possible ignition side of the equation. So before driving the car out to Granatelli's place, Bartoletti says he "bumped the timing a few degrees, from an initial timing of 10 degrees BTDC to 12 degrees BTDC. On the way over, it seemed to have improved a little."
So close, so close! As it turns out, by the time the car arrived at Granatelli, Bartoletti was about 75 percent of the way to resolving his problems…he just didn't realize it.
Granatelli's diagnosis
Located about an hour west of Los Angeles in Oxnard, California, Granatelli Motorsports is renowned as a manufacturer and distributor of late-model tuner products for today's high-tech EFI cars, but it also does in-house tuning on all makes of early and late hot rods. Frank Distaso, Granatelli's resident old-school carb and ignition guru, has been associated with the Granatelli clan since their 1960s Indy racing program. For years, he also ran Distaso Automotive in downtown LA, one of the big dynotune outfits back in the muscle-car era. Distaso can practically tell what's wrong with an old car by breathing on it—but it sure helps to have owner J.R. Granatelli's state-of-the-art Mustang chassis dyno to fall back on.
You might think that a vacuum leak could be the cause of Bartoletti's stumble and tip-in "cough-back" through the carb, but Distaso's instincts born of decades of experience pointed in another direction. "When I saw the cam specs—230/236 degrees at 0.050—I knew instinctively there were no vacuum leaks; it was just a fairly big cam. Not that the average guy shouldn't check for vacuum leaks first. But I had a strong feeling the ignition timing was too retarded for the cam. Listening to the car, I also felt the carb was not quite right. I also took a look at the spark plugs. The porcelain and top outer wall were black, indicating the car was running rich. There was also a puff of black smoke out the exhaust when you stepped into it." Both carb and ignition problems can cause an over-rich condition, so he took a look at both.
The Fix: Carb
Distaso started by checking and adjusting the float level. On the primary side it was slightly high, contributing to the rich idle. The idle-mixture screws were adjusted too rich as well. No tach or vacuum gauge for this ace old-school tuner: Distaso does idle mixture adjustments entirely by ear, fiddling back and forth with the screws to get the best, cleanest idle. "Look at the engine. Listen to the engine. It'll tell you what it likes. I go for the smoothest idle I can get out of it. Turn the screws in until the idle gets rough, then come out very easy on one side until it sounds fairly decent, then do the same on the other side. Go back and forth two or three times until you get the best quality."
Other than basic carb adjustments, the internal calibration proved to be correct for the combo. Distaso particularly praised Bartoletti's accelerator pump lever preload setting: "As soon as I cracked the throttle, I got a nice spurt out of the shooter."
"I was chasing my tail. I never associated my initial timing with the cough through the carburetor." — Lucian Bartoletti
The Fix: Spark Curve
Overall, the distributor's centrifugal advance curve was pretty smooth. It started at 1,100 rpm and was all in by 3,200, developing 11 degrees at the distributor (22 degrees as read at the crank). "I liked the centrifugal curve as it was," Distaso explains. "It's quick enough. HEI centrifugal curves, in my experience, were always pretty close to what I wanted."
With 12 degrees initial advance, the engine had a total of 34 degrees at the crank. According to Bartoletti, that's close to what the original engine builder recommended. But Distaso maintains that's not enough for the motor's healthy cam. "As a general rule, start at 36 degrees total as a baseline. If the car cranks hard or kicks back through the starter, back off on the initial timing, and put more in the distributor." With the car on the chassis dyno, trial-and-error runs determined that this engine liked 16 degrees initial, for a total of 38 degrees with the centrifugal advance all-in. With these specs, the car still cranked OK and started up with no kick-back, and it also responded better off idle.
The HEI's vacuum advance was another story. Even after all adjustments were finalized, Bartoletti had only 10 inches of manifold vacuum at idle. Strangely, this didn't seem to adversely affect his large power-brake booster, but it did play havoc with the distributor's vacuum-advance mechanism. When connected to ported vacuum, there was already 5 inches of vacuum advance at idle—it should have been virtually zero. Conversely, going to manifold vacuum would have added too much timing at idle.
And the ported vacuum kept climbing to as high as 24 inches; there was even some ported vacuum at full-throttle, when it should have declined back to near zero. Additionally, at the car's typical 2,000-rpm cruising speed, Distaso says the car kept "hunting in and out of vacuum advance. Manifold vacuum or ported vacuum—on this car, it just didn't make any difference."
Apparently, the large cam's low vacuum output plus the mild 2.33:1 effective final-drive ratio with the T5's 0.63:1 overdrive gearing put the vacuum advance right in the sour spot. Distaso's simple solution: Just block it off.
Running both at part-throttle and full-throttle on Granatelli's Mustang dyno under various loads, plus on-road testing, confirmed that Bartoletti's original issues were successfully resolved. At part-throttle tip-in, the 1957 no longer kicks back through the carb. But with the gross off-idle cough-back resolved, Bartoletti is now noticing a very slight lurch pulling gently away from a traffic signal. Tuning this out would require better matching the flywheel, clutch disc, and pressure-plate combo to the big-cam, 3,900-pound, "heavy Chevy."
At cruise, the occasional miss and lean surge have vanished. However, if the throttle is slammed wide open at around 1,900–2,000 rpm in overdrive—as could occur when accelerating quickly to pass a slow-poke—the engine remains a little lazy; there's no bog, it just takes a while for it to really start winding up. The obvious crutch is downshifting to a lower gear, like an automatic does when it kicks down. Ultimately, Bartoletti could achieve quicker High-gear response by installing steeper gears so at his 65-mph cruise-speed the motor operates within the cam's 2,200–5,800-rpm powerband (sidebar). But steep gears and their associated four-series Posi carriers for the old Chevy drop-out rear are getting hard to find.
A week after the fix, Bartoletti drove to the 2013 Morro Bay show with no problems. That's about a 250-mile round-trip. Under full throttle, the car pulled strong in all gears. Going north through the mountains out of Los Angeles, Bartoletti says "it went right up that long, steep climb on the I5 Grapevine in Fifth-gear-overdrive with no problems. It never did that before. It used to surge and now it doesn't. I even had the air on without a problem!" The car doesn't seem to miss the vacuum advance; Bartoletti reports that gas mileage is actually slightly improved.
Lessons Learned
A drivetrain must be a matched combo. Trans and rearend gearing must match the engine's characteristics as well as the vehicle weight. What appears to be a carburetion problem can also be related to the ignition. "People need to learn that a big camshaft needs big timing," Granatelli points out. "Lucian had a lumpy cam; he retarded the timing, when he should have advanced it." Adds Distaso, "I know Lou likes a rumpity-rump cam, but he has such a nice cruiser. If it were me, I would put in a milder cam, a smaller carb, and a little steeper gear ratio. He'd have a near-perfect car." And at just 9.6:1 static compression, Bartoletti could gain more power and further enhance driveability by upping the squeeze to 10.0:1.
The Gear-Ratio Solution
With Bartoletti's present healthy Comp hydraulic roller cam, in overdrive at his typical 65-mph cruising speed, engine rpm is below the cam's 2,200–5,800-rpm operating range, meaning the car is inherently slow-revving and lazy if he quickly accelerates in High-gear. The ultimate fix would be moving up to steeper rearend gears.
To figure out what changes are needed, use the basic "speed-in-gear" equation:,
Bartoletti's T5 has an 0.63:1 overdrive ratio. The rearend sports 3.73:1 gears. His P245/60R15 BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires are 26.6 inches tall. At 65 mph, engine speed is just 1,929 rpm:
What would it take to get the cruise rpm up to at least 2,200, the bottom of the cam's operating range? Like any formula, the equation can be "flipped" to solve for any one missing element, in this case, the rearend gear-ratio:
The equation tells us Bartoletti needs at least 4.25:1 gears. But that ratio isn't offered, so he'd have to move up to the next numerically steeper ratio. For the early Chevy drop-out rearend, that would be 4.56:1. Plugging the new gears into the equation and solving for rpm, we see that at 65 mph, engine speed comes in at 2,359 rpm.
Richmond offers 4.56:1 gears for the early Chevy rearend (PN 69-0022-1), but as this is written in June '13 they are on indefinite nationwide back-order. (Jegs is accepting orders at $334.99.) Bartoletti would also need either a ring-gear spacer for his existing three-series Posi case (Mr. Gasket PN 900A, $41.99 at Jegs) or (preferred for its greater strength and stability) locate a rebuildable actual early Chevy four-series Posi case.

All along Bartoletti thought he had a carburetor problem. Initially, he did in fact find an internal leak: The Slayer carb's secondary power-valve block-off plug was seeping (location, arrow). "I fixed it by epoxying the plug back in place." He also played with the primary-side calibration, which helped—but did not fully resolve—the car's basic driveability issues.Fiddling first with the carb, Distaso found the primary float level was set slightly high, which tends to make the carb idle rich. He adjusted it so the float level was at the bottom of the sight-screw. Conversely, the rear float level was just a tad low, so it was raised slightly.We were all ready to jump on the carb's internal calibration. Quick Fuel sent us an assortment of accelerator-pump shooters, main-jet assortments, power valves, and gaskets. However, once the basic adjustments were sorted out, the carb's internal calibration as modified on the primary side by Bartoletti was right on the money.Quick Fuel's entry-level Slayer carbs have a secondary metering plate instead of a metering block, but unlike similar "low-end" Holleys with a fixed-orifice plate, the Slayer plates accept standard main jets if needed.For really hard-core tuners, the Slayer also has replaceable idle-air (A) and high-speed (B) air-bleeds that allow minute air/fuel ratio adjustments.On Quick Fuel vacuum-secondary carbs, you can fine-tune the existing diaphragm spring's opening by turning the Quick-Set screw. No secondary adjustments were needed on this car.A Snap-On dial-back timing light let Distaso check the overall advance curve and total timing without the need for a degree'd balancer. Initially the '57 had only 34 degrees total advance (initial plus centrifugal), not enough with the big Comp cam. Increasing the total to 38 degrees by adding in four degrees more initial timing helped cure Bartoletti's driveability woes.For supplying vacuum advance, Quick Fuel Slayers have two ported vacuum ports (A) and one manifold (full-time) vacuum port (B). Ported vacuum should be near zero at idle and increase off-idle; manifold vacuum should be highest at idle and decrease off-idle. Different cars may prefer one over the other—or (as was the case with Bartoletti's combo)—none at all.The cammed-up 377 had just 10 inches of idle vacuum. The way it was geared, the '57 hunted in and out of vacuum advance at highway cruise. "A big cam changes your vacuum so drastically that vacuum advance is useless," maintains Distaso. "You need at least 14–16 inches of engine vacuum at idle to run vacuum advance. With less, block it off, and go with full centrifugal."

The 6 Most Creative Abuses of Loopholes
The best way to get away with cheating isn't to avoid getting caught... it's to technically not do anything wrong, and still get all the rewards. That's where you find the line between lawbreakers and those who simply think outside the box... and that line is very thin indeed.
#6. Bar Declares Everyone to be Actors to Circumvent Smoking Ban
Back in 2007, Minnesota followed a national trend by passing an anti-smoking law that banned smoking in pretty much every public building, including bars. Unfortunately, that was bad news for the bars, because if you're going to get good and drunk to fight off the depression manual labor and seasonal affective disorder brings, you want to get your smoke on, too. Nobody wants to go stand outside to smoke, since in Minnesota it gets cold enough at night that neurons stick open and thoughts freeze in your head. So, that winter, the customers stayed home.
"...or, we could get stoned and play Xbox."
The good owners of the Barnacles Bar were determined to find a loophole that would let their nicotine-addicted clientele feed their deadly vice in peace. They found it:
There was a line in the law that said if you were an actor in a play, and your character smoked, then you'd get a pass. You know, like if you were doing a live stage show of the X-Files and you were playing the main bad guy. Thus, the owners of the bar declared that they were staging a continuous live performance and that everyone in the bar was an actor.
"Now can I fucking smoke?"
The thing was, the law didn't bother to specify what was meant by "stage performances," and really, how do you argue? So what if they didn't have a script--there is such a thing as improv. So what if they weren't getting paid--the law didn't say only professional actors counted. So, you enter Barnacles on a Saturday night, and then see that the staff are in costume and that you have become a performer in their "Theater Night." Sure, you don't have any lines and you're probably just playing "Guy Drinking To Forget His Job #5," but, hey, you need to smoke to get into character.
This started a movement, with bars in other states under similar bans trying the same tactic. The authorities aren't amused and have levied fines against the bars for violating the ban, which several are challenging in court.
#5. Man Flies Free Thanks to Pudding
It really does pay to read the fine print. Just ask David Phillips, a University of California civil engineer. In 1999, he noticed that on the box of one of his Healthy Choice frozen dinners, next to the part that presumably warns you against actually putting a Healthy Choice frozen dinner in your mouth, was a promotion they were doing with an airline. Anyone who sent in 10 barcodes from the frozen dinners would get 1,000 frequent flyer miles in return. Get enough of those miles and the airline lets you fly for free.
Which we're told can save you valuable money for local prostitutes and strange foreign drugs.
Being a huge math geek (which is shocking for someone who sits alone reading the writing on a tray of microwave chicken), he did some calculations and realized that 1,000 miles had way more value than some of the cheaper products in the Healthy Choice line---namely, 10 servings of Healthy Choice pudding. So, he jumped into a van and literally bought every single cup of pudding he could find.
Phillips purchased 12,150 cups of pudding in all, and to avert suspicion at the stores he simply said he was stocking up for Y2K.
Healthy Choice, clearly not anticipating that much interest in their product, resisted but all the same ended up forking over the 1.25 million miles to Phillips.
Not only that, Phillips also got the Salvation Army to peel off most of the barcodes for him, in exchange for donating the pudding--which earned him an $800 tax deduction on top of everything. For around two thousand bucks, David Phillips and his family have been flying free for years.
But life isn't all roses: The downside to all this is that Phillips' story inspired a film called Punchdrunk Love... where he's portrayed by Adam Sandler.
We ask you: Was it worth it?
#4. Guy Rips Off a Game Show by Being a Slacker
Having nothing better to do than watch game shows all day and silently wonder what went wrong with his life, unemployed ice cream truck driver Michael Larson was in the perfect position to pull off one of the greatest stunts in the history of afternoon programming.
His target was a popular CBS game show called Press Your Luck.
Press Your Luck basically consisted on a roulette wheel with light-up cartoon characters corresponding to different prizes. You get so many turns and if you hit the wrong spot, you lose everything. Hit "free turn" and you get to go again. So sort of like Wheel of Fortune, only without the spelling and the wheel was electronic. That latter part would be their mistake.
One of their mistakes.
See, it's actually pretty hard for a computer to generate truly random patterns. Since Larson watched the show every damn day, eventually he noticed that the roulette only had six patterns of lights. So, he carefully taped each episode and, using the prodigious memory he had acquired reciting ice cream flavors, he memorized the six patterns and figured out exactly when to hit his button to make it land on whatever space he wanted, including "free spin." That's also important: The show had no rules limiting how long the game could go on. You could Free Spin forever. Larson had figured out a way to win basically infinite money.
Then he flew to LA and managed to get on the show. When his turn at the board came around, he won, and won, and won. He won $30,000, and by that point had been playing for longer than the half hour the show was allotted to air. They actually had to stop the episode and bring him back the next day to continue the round. When they did, he kept winning.
He wound up with over $100,000, a trip the Bahamas, and the undying hatred of a game show's producers.
They got off lucky; the only reason his run ended was because he eventually declined to spin again (the show let you hand off your turn to the next contestant) and fatigue was making him start to miss his mark. By then CBS figured out what he did and tried to have him disqualified, but nothing he did was illegal. He just beat their system. Their stupid, stupid system.
They changed the board patterns and banned the Larson episodes from airing as reruns. Meanwhile, Larson walked away with a nice pile of cash... only to lose it all in an investment scam. But, hey, a free trip to the Bahamas and the memory of punking a major network? Priceless.
His beard elected to stay behind and reign as an island king.

WEIRTON - Retired Army Master Sgt. Fred Felton reminded area residents Monday that not all of the sacrifices of war occur on the battlefield.
Felton, the guest speaker for Monday's Veterans Day observance, applauded the sacrifices of those who gave their lives in battle, but also pointed out how far too many soldiers return home wounded in body or spirit.
"It's important to remember not only the price paid by veterans to maintain our freedom, but the price paid by their heart-broken families as well," he said, adding that too many come home from war suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder or life-altering wounds "that take a toll on veterans as well as their families."

HONORS — Ann Vacarro of Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 2716 Auxiliary, Weirton, placed a wreath Monday commemorating the sacrifices of America's military during the city's Veterans Day observance, held this year in the Weirton Room at the Millsop Community Center.
-- Linda Harris
"Sometimes all that's needed is a simple thank you," he added.
Felton also pointed out many veterans struggle to find jobs once they return home, and too many others end up living in the streets.
"It's hardly the thanks of a grateful nation," he said.
Felton said Veterans Day was created to honor "all those who have served," a list that includes those "who died long after they stopped wearing a uniform" as well as those slain in battle, and pointed out that many servicemen and women go on to serve their country in other ways after leaving the military.
The Rev. Ed Rudiger of Cove United Presbyterian Church delivered the invocation and benediction.
Jim Lee served as master of ceremonies, reminding the many townspeople in attendance that not all sacrifices are made in the field of battle. As a case in point, he cited Mike Fuscardo, a 10-year veteran of the City Police force who was blinded by a crazed assailant some two decades ago while responding to a call.
Weirton Mayor George Kondik delivered the welcome, pointing out that veterans serve their country without thought to the issues and controversies that often times divide the nation on the homefront.
Music was provided by the Ladies Club Singers & Dancers and the Weir High School Band, and a number of community organizers presented wreaths to honor the sacrifices of America's servicemen and women. The ceremony was held in Millsop Community Center's Weirton Room, a decision Kondik said organizers made after wintry weather marred last year's observance.

From Where Does My Help Come?
When I was 12 years old, my entire life changed. My grandfather died, my father was murdered and my mother got cancer. Nine months later, my grandmother died of complications from cancer. Losing my grandmother was an enormous loss for me. My mother's courageous battle with basal cell carcinoma and her untimely death at age 48 caused deep sadness, but it inspired me to use art as a medium for my own emotional healing.
From Where Does My Help Come? was created from the deepest place of pain, fear and hope.
Hebrew translation means:
I lift my eyes to the mountains.

I'm completely clear on the different uses of the two tenses, except for pretty much this one verb.
Can I get some different examples, with translations, of when you would say Il devait as opposed to Il a dû ?
I'm completely clear on the different uses of the two tenses, except for pretty much this one verb.
Can I get some different examples, with translations, of when you would say Il devait as opposed to Il a dû ?
I don't really understand what bothers you, the uses of these tenses are the same as for all verbs, except that as a semi-auxiliary, the semantic informaton is transferred to the verb it modifies, but it is the same as for any other semi-auxiliary, e.g. vouloir or pouvoir.
So devait denotes a context, whereas a dû denotes an action. Thus, a dû implies that the action has been done whereas devait does not, but it is more a side-effect than the real point of this choice of tense.
When devoir is given an "accomplished aspect" using passé composé (or any other composed tense), it expresses "fulfilment" of a necessity. By the course of events, something just ceased to be necessity. It means that the person did what he had to do, and strangely (I concede) it cannot mean that the problem solved by itself (this is pretty much specific to devoir and a few other modal-like verbs).
For example, "il a dû se présenter devant le juge" means he had to and did appear before the judge. If the problem solved externally, one would use imparfait, or provide an explicit reason introduced, for example, as follows:
This is possible because croire (similarly vouloir) relate the subject's thoughts or wills, which are expected to adapt to the course of external events. Verbs like devoir or pouvoir or savoir are different because the subject isn't taking any action or position or decision and is just passive. I'd say this is what makes them special. In particular, similar to "il a dû", the sentence "il a pu/su faire quelque chose" also means that he could/knew how to do it and did it.
Note: it can get even more confusing since devoir may also express likeliness, not only necessity (and pouvoir may also express possibility).
In this context, you can forget all the above, the answer is just a guess about the reasons (English would use must: "he must be busy… or he must have left for Rome".)
My suggestion to avoid some of the ambiguity in the translation would be to say "He was supposed to leave for Rome..." for "Il devait partir à Rome..." That way the "He had to leave for Rome immediately" can be definitive.

I understand that the protein helps to repair body tissues. If I increase the intake of protein, would it help to cure the wound more quickly? I would like to know how does the protein reaches the wound and how does it help to heal?
closed as not a real question by Daniel Standage, nico, Mad Scientist♦ Jun 11 '12 at 18:16
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.
Saying protein in general helps to heal wounds is a very far step. Different proteins are essential for nearly every process that happens anywhere in your body.
There is a range of proteins which is required specifically for wound healing. The first step of wound healing is blood clotting in order to close wounds. This uses several so-called clotting factors, all of which are proteins. Some of these help the platelets (small cells in the blood) stick to the walls of the blood vessels which have been damaged, others are responsible for forming a tight clot around them to make sure no more blood leaks out. Most clotting factors also require vitamin K for their production.
The next step is wound healing. This involves several cell types gathering at the wound and laying down what is called connective tissue, a network made mostly of proteins. Cells of the skin will need to replicate themselves in order to close the wound, and they will require lots of proteins for this.
Protein reaches all cells of the body from the intestines via the blood flow.
Eating a diet high in protein would surely not be a bad thing to do - your body needs it everywhere. But it is important that you consume it mixed with healthy amounts of carbohydrate (needed for energy) and fats (needed for many structures and hormones).

The move, which could make it the fourth project to be granted permission from the NEB, comes as BG mulls whether to commit to a multi-billion dollar investment.

American gas by shipping it to markets overseas where demand

The move, which could make it the fourth project to be granted permission
from the NEB, comes as BG mulls whether to commit to a
multi-billion dollar investment. Its planned facility is one of
a dozen different proposals for new LNG plants on the remote
and largely undeveloped coast of British Columbia.
Last month, the company filed plans with the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency
outlining the scope of the project and its likely impact on the
surrounding area. Known as Prince Rupert LNG, the proposal
calls for the first two of three planned liquefaction "trains"
capable of processing 3.3 billion cubic feet/day of gas to
start up by 2021.
Construction may start as early as
2016 at a site on Ridley Island near the small coastal city of
Prince Rupert in British Columbia, BG has said.
Three similar Western Canadian projects already have the
permits. A proposal backed by Apache and Chevron received the
first LNG export license from the NEB in 2011. Since then, two
others have been granted permission to export including, most
recently, to a projected led by Royal Dutch Shell
in February. None have reached a final investment decisions to
begin construction.

Can the US government be so stupid as to NOT see what is going on here? LNG WILL be shipped from North America whether from the US or, as now seems more likely, from Canada and Mexico. The US governement MUST immediately permit LNG export terminals (and the fantastic investments they will bring) or lose out to our neighbors.

Georgia Wildlife Resources Division
2070 U.S. Hwy. 278, SE, Social Circle, GA 30025
The public will now have "More Places To Hunt" on Dawson Forest WMA thanks to efforts by governmental agencies, sportsmen's organizations and a private landowner. A previously closed road that limited access has recently been re-opened on the WMA, just in time for the opening of Turkey season – March 26.
A partnership of the Georgia Department of Natural Resources, Wildlife Resources Division (WRD), National Wild Turkey Federation (NWTF) (National, State and local Amicalola Longbeard Chapters), a local land owner and Dawson County has resulted in establishing access to a portion of the WMA that had been blocked since 2004. Under the NWTF "More Places To Hunt" Program, a small piece of property was purchased that would restore access to the WMA.
"Thanks to our valued conservation partners and interested private landowners this project enhances access to 4,700 acres of the Dawson Forest Management Area," said Ken Riddleberger, Region 2 Game Management Supervisor for WRD. "Access to hunting lands has been identified as a barrier to hunting and this project is one effort to address that need."
The new access point originates off of Stone Place Court (off Steele Bridge Road) and travels to a large portion of the WMA. Previous permission to access the WMA at this point was lost when the adjacent property changed ownership. Following the sale of the neighboring property in 2009 the new owner, Randy Grant, indicated that he would be agreeable to opening the access point to the public. The NWTF provided funding for the the state to acquire the property. Also, Dawson County agreed to take control of the private road that connected to the newly acquired access point.
Dawson Forest WMA is located near Dawsonville in Northeast Georgia. The area covers 25,000 acres and offers many recreational opportunities including; hunting (deer, turkey, small game, dove and waterfowl), fishing, canoe access points, camping, hiking, horseback riding, bird-watching, wildlife observation and picnicking.
For more information on Dawson Forest WMA and the upcoming 2011 Turkey Season, visit www.georgiawildlife.com [1] .

The Lumberjack is a sexual move in which a female administers a blowjob to a male who has allowed his pubic hairs to grow into an impressive bush. The female deepthroats the penis in such a way so that it looks like the male's pubic hairs are a large beard on the womans face.

The lumberjack is a sexual finishing move, wherein a man is having sex with a woman doggie style. When the man is ready to finish, he wraps his legs around the woman and begins to chop her in the kidneys as though he were trying to chop down a tree. The goal of the Lumberjack is for the man to hang on until he finishes inside of the woman, while yelling "TIMBER!"

Brooklyn-based Parts & Labor roars "through the mental landscape of a post-9/11 New York," according to The New York Times. Their most recent album, Mapmaker, has been applauded by Pitchfork for its "stunning use of space," tight drum work, and an overall new and dynamic sound.

Art Lande, Bruce Williamson, Johannes Weidenmueller Jazz Concert
Concerts by long-time collaborators Art Lande—renowned Grammy-nominated jazz pianist and drummer—and music faculty member Bruce Williamson (sax, woodwinds) are anything but predictable. They will be joined by Johannes Weidenmueller, currently one of the most active and in-demand bassists in New York. Between the three of them, performing credits consist of a "Who's-who" list of important jazz artists and over 100 recordings.
Saturday, May 17, 2008, ALL DAY, Student Center
While open to the public, the fee for this event will be $15, which includes admittance to all performances.
Experimental rock-duo The Fiery Furnaces will be headlining this year's Sunfest—Bennington's highly anticipated, annual 24-hour music festival. Famous for making fascinating and idiosyncratic music, the band's innovative style has earned them a spot on NPR's list of Best Albums of 2007 for their most recent album Widow City. Other performers include Bishop Allen, The Boggs, The Postelles, The Kiss Off, Adventure, and comedian/performance artist Fancy Nancy.
