My little brother's company is having a logo contest. They asked their employees to each design a logo for a new branch of the Company called, NPR, or, "National Parts Reclamation." The company basically reclaims old parts from printers, copiers, and fax machines. They have a massive warehouse in a working class town in Ohio where the parts are packaged, stored, and sold.
My brother asked if I could put something together for him to enter into the contest. I spent about an hour on these yesterday and I think they actually turned out ok. If he wins he will get a 100 dollar gift-card to the restaurant of his choosing.
Let me know what you guys think!

Matt Hughes is one of the smartest fighters in the UFC. He can speak to just about any subject in the sport and generally his message is pretty clear. So when he says a fighter looks smaller does he mean that the fighter stopped cheating or that he didn't worked as hard? Hughes and Cage Writer debated the issue of mixed messages after UFC 87 when the former welterweight champ said Georges St. Pierre looked smaller against Jon Fitch.
"I'm just saying he didn't prepare enough for that fight," Hughes told Cage Writer just before UFC 96. "After the fight he said, 'if I was fighting a Matt Hughes or a B.J. Penn, I would've trained a lot differently'. I'm not saying that Georges got off steroids or human growth, I'm just saying he didn't prepare enough for the fight. I think you could visually tell he didn't take the fight that serious."
Watch Hughes and Sean Sherk talk to Cage Writer about misperceptions and the performance enhancing drug testing process in MMA:
I missed GSP saying that he trained differently for Fitch. I also didn't see any difference between St. Pierre's physique from the Hughes' fights to UFC 87. Hughes said be careful before you put words into anyone's mouth when it comes to steroid accusations.
Now Penn didn't mince words when it came to talking about Sherk before their UFC 84 fight. He straight out said that Sherk cheated. Hughes said he believes that Sherk didn't cheat. Both indicated that they think the testing process is flawed and fighters have little rights to fight a positive test.
"I don't know what it's like with the other commissions but when I was going through my case with the California commission, I had no rights," Sherk told Cage Writer. "I was nothing. It blows my mind to think the commission would treat someone like that."
Sherk did submit blood work to prove his innocence and said he passed three lie detector tests. The CSAC eventually dropped his suspension from one year to six months. It's also interesting to hear Sherk say he has no ill will towards Penn for making his "cheating" a centerpiece of promotion before UFC 84.

1970 CJ-5 Newbie Question(s)
I just purchased a 1970 CJ-5, my first jeep. The seller tells me that it will need tires. I think wheels/rims are stock.
I have not taken delivery of it yet but would like to start pricing both wheels and tires.;)
I have looked online and can not find any original manufacturers info on this year model.
Can someone tell me, what size tire I should be look for, if I keep the stock wheels?
(What was the size and backspacing on the original rims?)
Also can someone tell me what size the bolt pattern is on this year model? I know it is a 5 lug but is it a standard 5x5.5
These are the specs I have on the jeep I have bought:
Buick Dauntless 225 V6
Warn Overdrive
Saginaw Power Steering
GM HEI electronic Ignition
LED Tail Light
LED Reverse Lights
Dana 44 Rear Axle
Dana 30 Front Axle
Also is there some place on the web I can locate the original specs for this year model (like manufacturers specs/sales brochure)?
Congrats on the new ride. Those early CJs are just about the coolest vehicles ever designed. Miserable as cars, but awesome fun!
5 on 5.5" is correct for all CJs. And they'er all 15" wheels. 4" backspacing is stock (I think - wait for some of the other people to confirm that). Stock on a 1970 is most likely a 7 inch wide wheel.
The springs are most likely sagging a bit by this point, so tire size gets a little complicated. 31" tires should fit any stock CJ, though.
A suggestion would be small cheap tires for now, and use those while you make any plans for lift. My guess would be you're going to want new springs and 33" tires fairly soon (most people do!).
And check out the firing order of your engine - if the sticker is missing, look it up. They don't use the normal order, and more than one new owner has changed plugs and messed things up!
I had that engine in a 1970 Jeepster Commando. Wish I still had the car!
Welcome to the group..... You do know that pix are REQUIRED of this classic when she comes home.
I had an 80 CJ-5 and I put 31 X 10.50's on stock wheels. Are they the stock chromes? If so.. make sure you don't get beat out of them.. they are not cheap, especially if they have center caps that are also stock.
Pics, pics, pics...
My first Jeep was a '75 CJ-5. I still miss that Jeep!! Enjoy yours and definitely get some pics posted!! And welcome to our little piece of heaven...... :D
If you are looking for restore facts/info...check out this group. I am also a member of Early CJ5.com > Forums - Powered by vBulletin
A site just for cj 5, m38a1...Helpful for specifics on the 5's...hope I didn't step on any toes here...just tryin' to give some more help out there....
[QUOTE=Geoff@Bestop;639727]5 on 5.5" is correct for all CJs. And they'er all 15" wheels. 4" backspacing is stock (I think - wait for some of the other people to confirm that). Stock on a 1970 is most likely a 7 inch wide wheel.
Unfortunately they turned out to be 31x10.50R15 LT M/S. Not usre if I like the big fat tire look, really prefer the tin military mud tire look!:redface:

Hello there....., Self-care measures can help ease the pain of a migraine headache. Try muscle relaxation exercises. Relaxation may help ease the pain of a migraine headache. Relaxation techniques may include progressive muscle relaxation, meditation or yoga. Get enough sleep, but don't oversleep. Get an adequate amount of sleep each night. It's best to go to bed and wake up at regular times, as well. Rest and relax. If possible, rest in a dark, quiet room when you feel a headache coming on. Place an ice pack wrapped in a cloth on the back of your neck and apply gentle pressure to painful areas on your scalp.

Exaggerator upsets Nyquist wins the Preakness Stakes
Saturday was payday for people who put their horse betting money on Exaggerator to win the Preakness Stakes. Although Nyquist was the odds-on favorite to win the race, he was unsuccessful in his bid to win the Triple Crown and finished third behind Cherry Wine. On a sloppy but sealed track, Nyquist couldn't keep up with the early pace set by Uncle Lino. He led briefly at the 1/2 mile pole, but by the stretch he faded, and Exaggerator won by3 1⁄2 lengths. Cherry Wine had hit his head on the starting gate and was second-to-last for much of the race but saved ground on the rail and rallied in the stretch to take second place over Nyquist by a nose.
When is a Horse a Dog? When he's An Underdog at Preakness
Three-year old colt Exaggerator has finished in the top 5 five times and has won four times in his 10 races. In any other circumstances he would be the horse betting odds-on favorites, but the Preakness Stakes he has to settle for playing underdog to Nyquist, the actual favorite for people who bet on horses. Heavy rain – like, actual liquid water in the form of droplets that have condensed from atmospheric water vapor and become heavy enough to fall under gravity, not a horse called Heavy Rain – is in the forecast for Saturday, May 21st, when the 141st Preakness will be run.
Preakness Stakes: is Stradivari a Horse with no Name?
Cherry Wine Draws Post 1 but Nyquist Remains the Favorite
Cherry Wine may have drawn post 1 in the Preakness Stakes, but Nyquist remains the horse betting favorite for the second leg of the Triple Crown – to be raced this Saturday 21st. The draw for the race was held on May 18th and went thusly:
The Preakness Stakes: Attack of the Eight New Shooters
Like any good sequel, the Preakness Stakes – the second leg of the Triple Crown Championship – will feature returning characters. First and foremost, fan and horse betting favorite, our hero, Nyquist. Also, we of course have the Rochefort to Nyquist's D'Artagnan, Exaggerator. Lani has also been confirmed, while Gun Runner has not been ruled out. But it is the new additions to the cast that our protagonist has to keep an eye out on. At least eight new shooters – horses who did not run in the Kentucky Derby – will attempt to give Nyquist a run for his money – or rather his owner's money (horses have no use for currency as opposed to people who bet on horses).

This review is from: CORSAIR CX series CX500 500W 80 PLUS BRONZE Active PFC ATX12V & EPS12V Power Supply
Pros: Ample connectors. Corsair product : I have been more than please with all Corsair products I have used in builds for the past several years.
Cons: I have used tons of CX430 Corsair power supplies in alot of small workstation builds and never had any problems. I picked up 2 of these about 4 months ago on sale for the same price as the 430 unit. Had one fail today and start making high pitch sounds. I get it, these things happen. But i had to drive 45 minutes one way to the customers shop to replace and I was a little bummed by that. We will see how the other one holds up.
Other Thoughts: I have to pay shipping on the RMA. Standard with alot of companies but still sucks.READ FULL REVIEW

Last Sunday, as a drizzly dusk enveloped Washington DC, President Clinton suddenly announced that he wanted to play golf. Half an hour later he arrived at the Army and Navy Country Club, and, accompanied by a few secret servicemen, proceeded to thrash around the course for more than two hours, barely seeming to notice that, by the end, he was playing in pitch darkness.
Last Sunday, as a drizzly dusk enveloped Washington DC, President Clinton suddenly announced that he wanted to play golf. Half an hour later he arrived at the Army and Navy Country Club, and, accompanied by a few secret servicemen, proceeded to thrash around the course for more than two hours, barely seeming to notice that, by the end, he was playing in pitch darkness.
Some journalists have seized on this decidedly strange behaviour as evidence that Bill Clinton is losing it - and I don't mean his balls, although he must have lost plenty of those as well. They say that the episode perfectly sums up the twilight of Clinton's presidency - alone, in the dark, with an increasingly slippery grip. They might add that he doesn't mind the occasional encounter with a bit of rough.
Demonstrably, a man's character can be judged by his behaviour on the golf course. When the searingly honest Bobby Jones was commended for calling a penalty against himself, following a slight infringement of the rules noticed by nobody else, he said: "You might as well praise a man for not robbing a bank." By contrast, the late Richard Nixon was once spotted in the deep rough, sneakily moving his ball into an advantageous position. In some golfing circles, incidentally, the 37th President of the United States is immortalised in jargon. A "Nixon" is a terrible lie.
Many US presidents have played golf. I once spent a day interviewing Arnold Palmer, and he told me he had played with virtually every President since the golf nut Dwight D Eisenhower.
Jimmy Carter, to the considerable disapproval of most of the movers and shakers on Capitol Hill, did not know a mashie from a niblick. But Palmer, though a diehard Republican, told me that the best presidential swings belonged to two other Democrats, John F Kennedy and Clinton. Clinton, he writes in his autobiography, is "the best ball-striker of any President I have known".
In his book, Palmer also recalls an extraordinary event during Nixon's presidency when he and Bob Hope were summoned to the President's home in San Clemente. When they got there they found Nixon, Henry Kissinger, Gerald Ford, and other top brass. "It seemed," writes Arnie, "that the President wanted to pick our brains... about how to end the war in Vietnam."
You might want to re-read that sentence, just to digest its significance. In fact, the entire passage is worth quoting. "I do remember the lengthy discussions about various strategic approaches... including the idea of bombing Hanoi back to the Stone Age to try to finally end the miserable, protracted war in South-east Asia. When it finally came my turn to express an opinion, everyone looked at me. 'Well,' I started, a touch reluctantly, 'if the decision were mine to make, I guess I wouldn't pussyfoot around. Let's get this thing over as quickly as possible, for everyone's sake. Why not go for the green?'"
Watergate is meant to have been Nixon's greatest error of judgement, but soliciting the advice of Arnold Palmer on how to end the Vietnam War runs it pretty close. Nevertheless, politics and golf have long been intertwined, on this side of the Atlantic, too. The Parliamentary Golfing Society was formed in 1891, although a proposed match between the two sides of the House of Commons was rejected on the assumption that, as one Tory MP put it, the Gladstonian Whigs would be "as hopelessly out of it as in an Irish debate".
Unsurprisingly, the PGS thrived during the 1980s, with all those shire Tories to draw on. New Labour MPs are said to be less enthusiastic about golf, although I know that Tony Blair has had some instruction from his friend Bill Clinton, and if ideology is anything to go by, must surely be equipped with a natural fade, starting it left and manoeuvring it to the right.
Anyway, with or without Blair, the PGS continues to thrive, and its annual handicap tournament remains a prestigious event with a handsome trophy, on which are engraved the names of such previous winners as Arthur Balfour (1894, 1897 and 1910), Andrew Bonar Law (1907) and the former scratch player William Whitelaw (1976).
The Prince of Wales, later Edward VIII, nearly got his name on the trophy, too. He was beaten in the 1933 final, having narrowly defeated Britain's first female MP, Nancy Astor, in the semi-final. They played before a huge gallery at Walton Heath, and Lady Astor was two up after nine. Her doughty performance, I am told, earned her increased respect in the House. I wonder what Ann Widdecombe's short game is like?Reuse content

Dietes (grandiflora, iridiflora) is the correct name for the
common evergreen plants we have here in CA - both of the forms (and
others less common) that Francesca mentions. At times I have heard of
the pale yellow referred to as a Moraea or African Iris. The true
Moraea's are a tribe of bulbous irids native to South Africa. They
are winter growers - going dormant in summer, narrow wispy foliage
and small very iris-like flowers. In the garden here Moraea
polystachya is dependable in well drained soil. Others are Moraea
disticha, aristata and villosa. All are best acquired from seed - see
Rachel Saunders Silverhills seed catalog on the net -

seeds including moraea....

The sharp character of some of our apples (Grenadier, early Worcester, Peasgood's Nonsuch and, of course, the Bramley) offers a knife-edge with which to cut the rich, fungal taste of game birds. Pheasant, partridge and
wild duck are all flavours that benefit from the bite of damsons, sour
cherries, bitter oranges or a good sharp apple.
As a teenager, I probably ate more pheasant than I have ever done since. We lived in deepest Worcestershire, Dad was a good
shot (he trained as a gunsmith) and the birds
would often loiter on the lawn, a shimmer of
bronze in the autumn light, asking to be lunch.
The traditional way to get round the lack of
natural fat in game birds is to cover their
breasts with fatty bacon, so it melts and
bastes the birds as they roast. But moisture
in the pan can work too, in the form of wine
or stock, so that the air inside the oven is
A batch of small apples tucked around the bird can help. The fruits split and froth up in the pan,
issuing sweetness and, hopefully, a shot of cider-spritz into the juices in the roasting tin (there are often onions and bacon in there, too). To the pan, I add cider or a glass of verjuice – the light, fruity liquor ('taint wine, 'taint vinegar) made from unfermented grapes. It can be difficult to find, so I buy two bottles when I
see it.
medium onions 2
unsmoked streaky bacon rashers 4, cut into short lengths
a little butter
sage leaves 3 or 4
verjuice, dry cider or white vermouth 250ml
a pheasant
bay leaves 2
small, tart apples 4-6
Peel and roughly chop one of the onions and put it into a roasting tin with the bacon and a little butter. Leave to cook over a moderate heat until the bacon fat has turned opaque and the onion is starting to soften. This is a 10-minute job. Add the sage, then pour in the verjuice, cider or vermouth.
While the bacon is cooking, set the oven at 220C/gas mark 7. Rub the pheasant all over with a little butter, salt and black pepper. Cut the remaining onion in half and tuck it inside the cavity with the bay leaves. Place the buttered bird on top of the softened onions, slit the apples around their middles, then tuck them around the bird and roast for 15 minutes. Lower the heat to 180C/gas mark 4 and continue cooking for 30-40 minutes, depending on the bird's size. It should be juicy, very slightly pink inside, and the skin should be amber-gold. The aromatics in the tin should have the deep, appley scent of autumn, especially if you have used cider for want of verjuice.
To serve, I tend to put the bird on the table in its roasting tin, deal out the apples, bacon and onion, carve the bird as best as I can, then spoon over the thin, flavoursome juices from the tin.
A rich and heart-warming supper for a freezing night. I tend to go for a fairly plain pork sausage here, but a slightly garlicky one might work, too. Any apple will do, but a dessert apple is less likely to collapse than a "cooker".
dried flageolet or haricot beans 250g
onions 3
olive oil 2 tbsp
large garlic cloves 3
fennel seeds 2 small pinches
bay leaves 2
thick, nicely seasoned pork sausages 8
large dessert apples 2
plain flour 2 tbsp
Madeira or medium-dry sherry a glass
stock 1 litre
grain mustard 2 tbsp
Soak the beans overnight in cold water. Drain and bring to the boil in fresh unsalted water. Simmer for about 40 minutes, checking their progress now and again. Drain and set aside.
Peel the onions, cut them in half, then cut each half into six or so thick segments. Warm the oil in a casserole over a low to moderate heat. Put the onions in the pan and leave them to colour lightly, stirring them from time to time so that they don't stick or burn.
Peel and finely slice the garlic, then add it to the onions with the fennel seeds and bay leaves. Push the mixture to one side (if your pan is on the small side, then remove the onions and return them later). Cut the sausages into short lengths, add them to the pan and lightly brown them on all sides. Meanwhile, peel, core and quarter the apples. Cut them smaller if you wish, but the smaller they are, the more likely they are to break up. Mix the sausages with the onions (if you removed the onions, return them to the pan now), then stir in the flour and the apples. Cook for 5 minutes or so, then gradually pour in the Madeira or sherry and stock, stirring. Add half the mustard, season with salt and black pepper and leave at a low simmer for a good 25 minutes.
Add the beans to the sauce, season with salt and black pepper and simmer gently for 20-25 minutes. It is ready when the sausages are fully cooked and much of the liquid has evaporated. Stir in the second spoonful of mustard and continue to simmer for a minute or two, remembering that mustard loses its interest if cooked for too long.
You could feel it: something wonderful was happening. The air had a cider-like note, part sweet, part rotten. Shoppers hugged knobbly brown paper bags to their chests. I felt the need to hurry in case I missed something. Around the corner, outside the cheese shop, customers jostled around a stack of open wooden crates. The first of the autumn's apples had arrived.
A sucker for a Russet, I buy them by the bagful. Any will do: Egremont, Ashmead's Kernel or St Edmund's Pippin. Rosemary Russet is a treat and a half. The aniseed notes of its flesh flatter a lump of Gloucester or a jagged crumb of Caerphilly. Heat will sometimes bring out a hidden waft of orange. I roll them over and over in my hand too, rubbing their scabby roughness with my thumb.
I arrived home with a bag of early Russets, Cox's, Worcesters and the regrettably named Scrumptious. After I had crunched enough, I sliced yet more of them up, keeping their skins intact, and let them soften in a pan with enough butter and sugar to give them a thin coating of caramel. Then I tipped them on to fresh toast and spooned unpasteurised yellow cream over them.
small dessert apples 4
a little lemon juice
butter 50g
golden caster sugar 2 lightly heaped tbsp
raisins or sultanas a handful
ground cinnamon a knifepoint
2 slices of toast made from brioche, nut and raisin bread or a milk loaf
Quarter the apples, core them, but leave the skin on. Slice the apples thickly, then toss them with a little lemon juice. It will stop their flesh browning and balance the sugar.
Melt the butter in a shallow pan. Before it froths, stir in the sugar and leave to bubble for a minute or two. Introduce the apples, letting them cook for 5 minutes or so over a moderate heat till soft. Stir in the raisins or sultanas and cinnamon.
Have the toast ready. I like it to be hot and lightly crisp. As soon as the apples are soft and lightly coated in caramel, tip them over the toast. A tub of cream, thick and yellow, would be quite wonderful here.
Asked to define the "bliss point" in a culinary sense, I would venture to suggest the underside of a pastry crust where it meets the fruit. Still crisp and sugary on top, it is moist, almost sodden underneath with sweet-sharp, scarlet juice. But some fruits can produce so much juice that the bottom crust collapses. Plums are particular culprits. The answer, a single crust on top of the pie. Fine in dispensing with a soggy bottom, but as a pastry lover I feel robbed.
My version uses a top crust of shortcake thickness. Intensely crumbly, this solves the riddle of how to get enough crust when using a particularly juice-producing fruit. The pastry crust here is thick but very tender, and will crumble as you serve it. Occasionally cream is called for with a pie, and this is just one of those occasions.
For the pastry:
butter 100g
golden caster sugar 100g
an egg, lightly beaten
plain flour 175g
baking powder ½ tsp
a little milk for brushing
For the filling:
ripe plums or greengages 800g-1kg
golden caster sugar 2-3 tbsp
ground cinnamon a knifepoint
Cream the butter and caster sugar in a food mixer till light and fluffy. Mix in the lightly beaten egg, then gently add the flour and baking powder. Remove dough from the mixing bowl and roll into a ball on a heavily floured work surface. Knead the dough for a minute or two until smooth and soft. Wrap in greaseproof or waxed paper and refrigerate for about 20 minutes.
Set the oven at 180C/gas mark 4. Cut the ripe plums or greengages in half and remove their stones. Cut the fruit into large pieces, toss with the caster sugar and cinnamon and put into a lightly buttered 20–22cm baking dish.
Roll out the pastry on a floured board, then lift carefully on to the pie. There will be a little left over. The crust is very short and it really doesn't matter if it tears as you lower it over the fruit. Some of the juice will probably erupt through it as it cooks anyway. At least I hope so.
Brush the pastry lightly with milk and bake for 40 minutes. The pastry should be pale-biscuit coloured. Dust with caster sugar and serve warm with cream.
The rule is that a sharp sauce is needed with pork to cut its fattiness. More important, I think, is the fact that the sauce should flatter the gamey notes of the meat. Apples do this well enough but gooseberries do it better, having more natural sharpness than any "cooking" apple. Plums and damsons flatter the flesh of the pork as well as the fat, and their fruity notes blend harmoniously with the pan juices.
The Chinese flavours here demand something other than potatoes as an accompaniment, so I go for some dark green cabbage, coarsely shredded the width of pappardelle and cooked in a very little water till bright emerald green. No butter, just vital, earthy greens to contrast with the richness of the meat and its sauce.
a piece of pork belly about 1.5kg
Szechuan peppercorns 2 tbsp
sea salt flakes 3 tbsp
ground anise 1 tsp
For the sauce:
sharp plums or damsons 900g
sugar 3 tbsp
water 120ml
fresh ginger a large knob about the size of a walnut, peeled and cut into matchsticks
star anise 4
salt ½ tsp
smooth red wine vinegar 2 tbsp
Put the pork in a shallow dish. Warm the Szechuan peppercorns in a non-stick pan till they start to crackle a bit, then remove from the heat. Grind together the salt, toasted peppercorns and the ground anise. Easiest with a pestle and mortar, but you can also do it with a plastic bag and a rolling pin. You want a fine, beige powder. Rub the spice mixture over the pork and its skin, cover lightly with greaseproof paper and set aside for at least 8 hours, preferably overnight in the fridge. This is for the dry marinade to work its magic.
To make the sauce, put the plums or damsons into a colander and give them a good rinse under cold running water, pulling off any stalks and leaves as you go. Tip the fruit into a stainless steel saucepan (aluminium will taint sour fruits such as plums), add the sugar, water, ginger, anise and salt and bring to the boil. Leave to simmer for about 10 to 15 minutes, until the fruit has burst and the sauce has thickened to a deep purple-red. Stir in the vinegar and simmer for 5 minutes more. Watch that it doesn't become too thick or catch on the bottom; it is inclined to get a bit jammy at this stage.
Put the sauce somewhere to cool or, if spitting out stones at the table really isn't your thing, sieve it first: tip it into a large sieve set over a bowl and push the fruit through with a wooden spoon. Keep going till all you have left is a few stones. Set aside; you can warm it up just before you serve the pork.
Roast the pork in an oven set at 200C/gas mark 6 for about an hour, basting occasionally. Leave to rest for 10 to 15 minutes before carving, and pass the sauce around at the table.
Raspberries and apricots are rippled through the soft, almond-rich crumb of this pretty cake. I sometimes add a few rose petals and an extra handful of raspberries at the last moment, or perhaps a light scattering of icing sugar.
butter 175g
golden caster sugar 175g
ripe apricots 200g (4 or 5)
eggs 2
self-raising flour 175g
ground almonds 100g
milk 2 tbsp
raspberries 170g
Line the base of a 20cm loose-bottomed cake tin with baking paper. Set the oven at 180C/gas mark 4.
Cream the butter and sugar in a food mixer till pale and fluffy. Halve, stone and roughly chop the apricots. Beat the eggs lightly, then add to the butter and sugar a little at a time, pushing the mixture down the sides of the bowl with a spatula. If there is any sign of curdling, stir in a tablespoon of the flour. Mix the flour and almonds together and fold in, with the mixer on a slow speed, in two or three lots. Add the milk, and once incorporated add the apricots and the raspberries. Scrape the mixture into the tin and bake for 1 hour 10 minutes. Test with a skewer: if it comes out relatively clean, the cake is done. Leave the cake to cool for 10 minutes in the tin, then turn out on to a plate, decorating as the fancy takes you.
I have added blackberries to my sweet focaccia but black grapes are more traditional. Excellent with mild cheese.
strong white flour 450g
easy-bake yeast 1 sachet (7g, 2 tsp)
sea salt 1 tsp
caster sugar 1 tbsp
warm water 350ml
For the topping:
sweet black grapes 400g
olive oil 2 tbsp
caster sugar 2 tbsp
a little icing sugar
Put the flour in a large bowl, add the yeast, the sea salt (if you are using coarse salt, crush it finely first), then the sugar and warm water. Mix with a wooden spoon, then turn the dough out on to a generously floured board and knead lightly for 5 minutes or so. A gentle pummelling will suffice.
Once the dough feels elastic and "alive", put it into a floured bowl, cover with a clean cloth or cling film and leave it somewhere warm to rise. It will take approximately an hour to double in size. Once it has, punch it down again, knocking some of the air out. Tip it into a shallow baking tin about 30cm in diameter. Gently knead half of the grapes into the dough, scattering the remaining ones on top. Cover the dough once more and return it to a warm place to rise.
Set the oven at 220C/gas mark 7. Once the dough has expanded to almost twice its size, drizzle over the olive oil, scatter with the caster sugar and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, till well risen, golden brown and crisp on top. It should feel springy when pressed.
Leave to cool slightly before dusting with icing sugar. Cut into thick wedges and eat while it is still warm with a fresh, mild cheese. It will not keep for more than a few hours.
On a late summer's evening I will occasionally put a plate of purple figs on the zinc table in the garden together with a lump of blue cheese from Ireland or Italy. We help ourselves, cutting the fruits in half and placing a piece of Cashel Blue or Gorgonzola on their deep maroon flesh. Gorgonzola is often the softest of the blue cheeses. Mixed with cream or oil, it will form a less grainy dressing than the firmer varieties such as Stilton. Ideally, the cheese should be excessively ripe, almost to the point of liquidity.
figs 8
spicy leaves such as rocket, watercress and mizuna 4 handfuls
For the Gorgonzola cream:
ripe Gorgonzola 250g
double cream 100-150ml
white wine vinegar 1 tsp
To make the Gorgonzola cream, put the cheese in a mixing bowl and stir in enough of the double cream to give a creamy, slightly lumpy sauce. It should be thick enough to spread. Add the white wine vinegar.
Cut the figs in halves or quarters, depending on their size. Divide the salad leaves between four plates, then add the figs and a spoonful or two of the Gorgonzola cream.
A simple pot-roast bird takes five or 10 minutes to prepare, followed by an hour or so of unattended cooking. The result is meat that is both tender and flavoursome, cooking juices instilled with the essence of the meat and only one pan to wash up. The figs here offer a certain harmony to an autumn dish of gentle flavours.
a guinea fowl
an onion
rosemary a small sprig
white vermouth such as Noilly Prat a wine glass
half a lemon
figs 4
Set the oven at 200C/gas mark 6. Season the bird with salt and pepper. Peel and roughly chop the onion and put it into a large, deep casserole. Add the rosemary, vermouth and the lemon half, cut in two. Cover with a lid and roast in the oven for an hour, until tender. Halfway through cooking, add the figs cut in half. Check for doneness by inserting a skewer in the thickest part of the thigh. If the juices run clear, the bird is cooked. Serve in thick slices with the onion, figs and juices.
I love jam. I love it more than treacle, much, much more than honey and only slightly less than marmalade. It is not just the preserve itself that appeals but the tubby little pot on the table, its contents glistening as you twist off the lid. The way the fruit and syrup fill the spoon as you push it ever downwards, and that sticky dribble that hangs, jewel-like, on the rim of the jar. The jam I use to measure all others was made by the late Dorothy Carter – the most memorable of which was her blackcurrant. When Miss Carter died, the company survived briefly but the magic seemed to go with her.
The pinnacle of jam making for me is blackcurrant. The sharpness of the blackcurrant makes it one of the very few fruits that can cope with the copious amount of sugar in the average jam recipe. This recipe is for a softly set jam with a deep flavour that glows deepest purple-black on your spoon.
granulated or caster sugar 900g
blackcurrants 600g
water 560ml
Warm the sugar slightly in a low oven. Pull the currants from their stalks.
Put the fruit into a large saucepan with the water and bring to the boil. As the mixture starts to bubble and the currants burst, tip in the sugar and let it dissolve without stirring. Once the sugar is completely dissolved, turn the heat down slightly so the jam simmers enthusiastically, stirring briefly.
Leave to cook for 10 minutes, then switch off the heat. Have two 500ml preserving jars or four or five smaller jam jars ready. They should be spotlessly clean, sterilised with hot water from the kettle and dried. Spoon in the jam right to the top and seal.

Trying to Second-Guess the Color of the Google Logo from Existing Data
One of the favorite games of SEO's is to figure out what Google is thinking based on the data available. We create tests, analyze patterns, and even carefully review Matt Cutts' videos backwards, seeking hidden messages. In that tradition, DragonSearch has embarked on a study of the colors in the Google logo to determine what color would come next if there was another letter in the Google name.
As we are moving into the world of plus one with everything, and in the spirit of helping the graphic designers at Google, we think this question should be answered.
The Sequence of the Google Logo Colors
The Google logo colors are all primary and secondary colors: Blue, Red, Yellow, and Green. Green is the only instance of a secondary color.
The first sequence of three and the second sequence of three follow the same pattern: (1st color, 2nd color, Complement of combination of 1st color and 2nd color).
The third sequence does not follow that pattern, but is: (1st color, 2nd color, combination of 1st color and 2nd color).
What can be inferred from the fourth sequence: (Blue, Green, Red)?
Green is a secondary color made up of Blue and Yellow. Since Blue already exists in the sequence – and in no previous sequence does any color go twice, we can remove Blue from the Green, resulting in Yellow. That would leave a sequence of (Blue, Yellow, Complement of combination of 1st color and 2nd color).
The apparent rule being that the 3rd color in any sequence is always the result of mixing the first two colors, or the complement of the first two colors.
For the fourth sequence: Assuming we have removed the Blue from the Green leaving yellow, we have either (Yellow, Red, and the combination of 1st color and 2nd color, which is Orange) or (Yellow, Red, and the complement of the combination of 1st color and 2nd color, which is Blue).
Thus, the next color, if Google had another color in its logo, would be Blue or Orange.
Interestingly, in the one instance where Google put a letter before "Google," in iGoogle, they used Green. Orange or Purple is never used, thus there is a greater likelihood that the next Google logo color would be Blue.
The iGoogle logo shows a pattern that would suggest that Blue would NOT be the next color. It is well known that colors are considered to be warm or cold. Blue and Green are considered cold, while Red and Yellow are considered warm. In iGoogle, the pattern would be:
(Cold, Cold)(Warm, Warm)(Cold, Cold), (Warm…)
This would suggest that the next color should be Yellow. Orange is not used in the Google palette, you would remove the Red from the Orange (since Red was already in the sequence), resulting in Yellow. Blue, however, would support the (Blue, Color, Color) pattern that also exists.
Google & the Use of Hyperreals
Google loves to embed math jokes into their brands. The latest is Google Plus. Every time someone clicks a "Plus 1" they are adding one to a very large number. After all, "Google" was a bastardization of "googol," which is the large number comprised of a one followed by 100 zeros. Of course, that's not exactly close to infinity , although it was often used by Edward Kasner (the mathematician whose nephew coined the word "googol") to contrast an unimaginably large number with the whole idea of infinity.
If you add one (plus 1!) to infinity, you have what's called a hyperreal number. It's possible that Larry and Sergey had buyer's remorse about having chosen "Google" as their name – perhaps they woke up one day and felt that its finiteness was just too constricting. So they added one.

This is one of the most facinating posts I have read. Nice Job Ric!
Hyperreal is not quite inf + 1, which would be inf, ie aleph0 the cardinality of the integers. (As distinct from aleph1 the cardinality of the reals (given a little poetic license :)
Hyperreal is a subset of the surreals (no kiding) and are an essential idea of nonstandard analysis. Remember Berkeley's "ghosts of departed quantities?" the hypers are exactly these,the infinitesimals that Newton and Leibniz did so much hand waving about. The hyperreal is smaller than any real number–Richardson developed this idea in the late 60's and were quickly poopoo'd, since they were much out sync with the more fashionable limit processes of standard analysis, with the epsilon-deltas we all know and love.
However the hypers have a not small cult following as a protest against big business Riemann and Lebesque theory.
What is really sweet is that I can get the latest Newton-Leibniz jokes straight from one of the most popular shows on network TV,proving that math really is cool after all! Thanks Big Bang Theory
@LanceDiduck Lance, where were you when I needed you? Thanks for the correction. So, you don't think Larry and Serge were making a math joke with Google + 1?
@RicDragon @LanceDiduck self deprecating humor as googol+1 would be a very minor improvement. Rather i think it is a programming joke: google++ captures what they trying to say, like C++ is the improvement of C. Google+1 is the same thing (ignoring the prefix/postfix operator distiction.)
I have friends who work at google i can try to find out

The people who book a property in low season often have different needs from the high season family crowd. Whereas summer renters are looking for sunshine and water activities and will spend much of their time lazing on a beach or dock, boating and swimming; fall renters may have very different thoughts on what makes their vacation special. Knowing who your target market is will help you to plan a strategy to capture that elusive shoulder season market.
In the high season, it may be sufficient to simply list the property and to reasonably expect that people looking for a property have a good chance of finding yours. Out of season, you'll need to attract those renters who may be searching on the internet to find a particular activity, event or attraction. Your text should take this into account.
1. Look for events and activities to promote
Research what is going on in your area in the way of arts tours, fall and winter festivals, craft shows, and other outdoor events. Get in touch with your local Chamber of Commerce and work with them to promote your accommodation in conjunction with their marketing packages. The popular areas will have something going on every weekend so you just need to piggy back on the promotion that is already underway.
2. Price competitively
There can be such a disparity between what renters are prepared to pay for a high season week in a vacation rental property, and the out-of-season rates, that it is tempting to buck the trend and price too high.
It is important to apply a rating that matches what your competitors are charging (providing they have realistic rates). With a large number of similar properties competing for the low season market, it is unlikely that potential renters will give your property a second look if your rate doesn't reflect the current trends.
3. Price for smaller groups
Think about pricing for a smaller amount of people. Applying a rate for a maximum of say, 4 people, then adding an additional per-person fee up to your accommodation maximum, would make your property more accessible for smaller groups. There are fewer family groups in the low season, and more couples looking for a getaway which is why the smaller properties tend to do better during this time.
4. Identify outdoor activities
Target out of season visitors with the outdoor activities appropriate to the season. Hiking and cycling, canoeing and kayaking are some of the more popular fall activities but don't forget to market to photographers and artists if you are in an area of spectacular scenery. Golf is another area where you could target enthusiasts, listing the courses in your area along with any seasonal offers they may have on the go. If you are not sure, check your local papers, or contact the courses directly.
5. Offer a Geocaching Package
If you have never tried geocaching then give it a go before developing your vacation package. This is a fast growing outdoor activity requiring little skill other than the operation of a GPS unit. Checkout how many caches are in your area by going to www.geocaching.com. Your weekend package can include the loan of a GPS pre-loaded with the co-ordinates for a dozen or so caches, a driving map of the area with an itinerary to follow, and a log book to record the caches.
6. Promote Romance
Renting a cottage for a weekend is a wonderfully romantic getaway. You just need to get the message out and describe what makes your property appealing for couples. In you a wood burning stove and a hot tub, you are well on the way; if not, then you will need to create a feeling of romance and ambiance in your web photos.
7. Offer 3 nights for the price of 2
This works really well since there is little cost involved in offering a third night free and it is seen as a good value offer. If your weekends are already booking well, then use this offer for mid-week breaks. Use variations on the them: book 2 weekends and the third at 50% off is a great one for encouraging returning guests.

Authenticity put into action through direct, ongoing conversations with stakeholders, says Mark Newton, Timberland's CSR chief. "People can go [as] granular as they want or stay as generalist as they'd like. ... We are not starting conversations by discussing one of our pillars or metrics but focusing on stories that matter and then getting to the things that are underneath those stories," he says.

Non-24 Hour Sleep Wake Disorder, also called non-24, is a sleep disorder that works in cycles. It occurs when you have issues with your circadian rhythm and your internal body clock becomes unbalanced.
Benefits of a Mattress Protector
If you have been shopping for a new mattress, like PlushBed's high quality American made luxury mattresses, and looking at accessories that you can purchase along with your new mattress, you've likely come across mattress protectors.
Work By a Window to Improve Sleep Quality
A recent study, reported on in the Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine, points out the impact windows and daylight exposure has on not only the health, but also the sleep quality of office workers.
Small Business Saturday – November 29th
Once you've recovered from your Thanksgiving turkey and early morning Black Friday shopping adventures, there's one more shopping excursion you might want to consider, Small Business Saturday. This important shopping day, which takes place on November 29, 2014, helps raise awareness about small local businesses in your community – the very ones that are often overlooked during the holiday shopping fervor in favor of mall kiosks and big box stores.
The Importance of Sleep in Fighting Colds
Having trouble getting rid of that pesky cold? Have one that keeps coming back with greater consistency than a boomerang? A 2009 study suggests that it might not be your cold medicine that's failing to do the job, but an inadequate amount of sleep instead.
Is Low Vitamin D Responsible for Your Restless Legs at Night?
Vitamin D is touted as one of the most important vitamins, minerals, and nutrients, and for many reasons. A new study has found that lack of enough of this essential vitamin could be causing restless legs at night.
Providing a Comfortable Guest Bed for the Holidays
Do you have family coming in from out of town for the holidays? Worried that your guest bed resembles some sort of medieval torture device? There's more than one great way to make this room as comfortable as possible for your treasured guests. These steps will have you off to a great start.
Drowsy Driving Prevention Awareness Week
Oh, snap! We had the following important article about Drowsy Driving Prevention Awareness Week pre-written and ready to post two weeks ago, but got so busy researching and writing our green living influencers post that we completely missed publishing it. It's so important though, we felt it was still very much worth addressing, so here it is.
Drowsy driving costs lives. It's that simple. According to AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety and its annual traffic safety study released November 2014, drowsy driving is believed to be the cause of 6,400 fatal U.S. crashes every year.
How the End of Daylight Saving Time Affects Your Sleep
That extra hour of sleep may add a little bit of spring in your step when coming off of Daylight Saving Time, but it has a decidedly different impact from what you may expect. Changing your body clock is never as simple as dialing the numbers on the clock back or forward an hour once a year.
Next Generation Advanced Memory Foam Technology
Memory foam has had quite a history since its development in the last 1960's. There have been a few changes over the years, but few as transformative as the most recent advance in memory foam technology. In order to see how far memory foam has come though, it's always interesting to take a step back and see where it all began.

The reason is getLogger() is protected, and we cannot get it from the inner class Query. I wonder also how setLogger() is public while getLogger() is protected. Looks counterintuitive. Still: I am fixing these, since I also discovered I put the init() and recycle() methods in the wrong scope (also will comment start and end of inner classes to make it clear. Part of my changes got committed. I will also send a new patch changing IllegalStateException to SAXException, since unchecked exceptions jump out of the pipeline processing, making debugging much harder (at least that was my experience when trying to undertans errors I got in here...) I'll send a patch with these changes. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com For additional commands, email: email@example.com

Polarization, growth and social policy in the case of Israel, 1997-2008
In this paper we study income polarization by first comparing the efficiency of two statistical models to identify the number of poles in the income distribution empirically. The statistical models used are a multi-resolution analysis (MRA) and a log-normal approach (LNA). We then apply the methodology to Israeli income data over the years 1997-2008 in order to empirically detect the number of income classes as sub-populations of incomes concentrated around an optimally determined number of poles. After that we compute polarization using a multiplicative normalized polarization measure, developed by Palacios-González and García-Fernández (An Intra-Group Variance Based Polarization Measure, 2010), which consists of three interacting components based on well-known axioms of Esteban and Ray (Extensions of a Measure of Polarization OCDE Countries, 1994). Finally we study the causes of the obtained polarization results in a multinomial logit analysis.

This application contains a professional recording of Independence Day -- wrapped in a beautiful and elegant player to create an immersive and enjoyable audiobook experience.
Hailed as a major American novel, Independence Day is a relentlessly thoughtful, heart-wrenching, yet hilarious portrait of an ordinary American man. Wickedly realistic details and dialogue entice you to see modern life filtered through the first-person narrator's complex and evolving consciousness. Apparently directionless since his divorce, Frank Bascombe migrates from one non-committal relationship to another. He freely indulges his tendencies to self absorption, over-intellectualization, and neurotic ambivalence. But all of that changes one fateful Fourth of July weekend, when, armed with the Declaration of Independence, he embarks on a mission to save his troubled teenaged son. Author of The Sportswriter, Richard Ford has won wide recognition as one of our most talented living novelists. Richard Ford's deep, resonant voice augments his powerful characterizations and puts you on intimate terms with one of the most unforgettable characters in American fiction.

The last time I played a video game was in 1985. It was a pocket-sized, black-and-white "LCD cardgame" called Trojan Horse, the aim of which was to prevent Trojans from getting into a castle by either pinging arrows at them or drowning them in the moat. Every now and then a horse would appear bursting with hundreds of the blighters. It was quite an adrenaline rush, I can tell you, though gradually I began to tire of the senseless slaughter. Violence never solved anything and it dawned on me that my time would be better spent concentrating on more pressing matters such as puberty.
I'm reliably informed that video games have evolved since then. According to Aleks Krotoski in the BBC World Service's The Culture of Gaming there are now around 150 million gamers in the world, though she chose not to reveal exactly how many of them were pimply boys sitting in their underpants in houses built out of festering pizza boxes.
By virtue of being female, Krotoski, a former games journalist, clearly bucks the stereotype, though even she admitted that she had grown tired of the faux-machismo that characterised most video games, and had hung up her console five years ago. She was, she said, "bored of shooting bad guys and blowing up buildings".
But now a new wind was blowing across the gaming scene, one that aspired beyond the traditional bad-ass protagonists blowing stuff up and sought to elevate video games into the realms of visual art. Where there is indie music and indie cinema, she revealed, there is now such a thing as indie gaming, a genre that brought with it a beauty and humanity previously absent from games culture.
"Within video games you can find illustration painting, sculpture, composition, poetry, narrative," said Chris Melissinos, curator of a video games exhibition at the Smithsonian American Art museum in Washington. The BBC's arts editor, Will Gompertz, was more circumspect, conceding that games "are within the artistic spectrum". Games manufacturers still have some way to go on persuading the art establishment their product can be deemed high art, but Krotoski certainly put forward a convincing case.
There has been a new wind blowing across Radio 1 too, something far removed from relentlessly chirpy presenters LOLing about their previous night's exploits and occasionally – just occasionally – introducing a record. I'm talking proper documentaries dealing with serious stuff. Just last week on "Radio 1's Stories", Gemma Cairney talked with great skill and sensitivity about abuse, both physical and psychological, between teenage couples, and offered a sympathetic ear and advice as someone who had, years previously, been through it herself.
In the same slot this week was Against All Odds, in which Vernon Kay, aka Mr Saturday Night, talked to injured veterans from the Iraq and Afghanistan wars who had become world-class Paralympians. Kay seemed an odd choice to present this, though the synthetic matiness of his television persona quickly melted into something warm and genuine.
He heard some extraordinary stories, among them the volleyball player who nearly bled to death after shards of shrapnel sliced through her legs and lower back, leaving her partially paralysed, and the cyclist who lost an arm after being caught up in a rocket attack in Basra. Both talked eloquently and movingly about how, after years spent adapting to their new circumstances, sports had restored their sense of identity, while their coaches told of the commitment and endurance required to reach Paralympic level.
The programme never lost sight of its young audience, allowing each interviewee to pick a record that best signified their experience. It was insightful, moving and not in the least bit patronising, to its listeners or its subjects. More please, Radio 1.

Screw You DoloresBy: Sarah-Kate Lynch (author)eBook
£8.51 RRP £9.99 You save £1.48 (15%)Buy eBook
DescriptionA funny, touching, endearing romp towards happiness by one of New Zealand's best-loved writers.'In 1997 I wrote my first book about always being on a diet but never being thin. I wanted to call it Screw You Dolores after an anecdote that I felt summed up the attitude I wanted to promote, but my publisher at the time said it was too rude; that little old ladies might be too embarrassed to ask for it or booksellers might want to hide it in brown paper bags. 'In 2013 I wrote my twelfth book and called it Screw You, Dolores. It's about knowing when to do what someone tells you to do, and knowing when to tell them to stick it up their jacksie.'This first book in Sarah-Kate Lynch's Wicked Approach To ... series tackles the subject of happiness, and how and where to find it - especially when you hit that milestone birthday of 50. Just like its author, it's sharp, full of attitude, funny and sassy. Buy it for yourself or for a friend for a good giggle. And buy it because, as she explores how to make herself happy by ignoring the expectations of others, Sarah-Kate Lynch finds great wisdom too.
