Say no to a new D97 building behind village hall
Opinion: Letters To The Editor
I was glad to see the article about the Nov. 5 District 97 school board meeting, in which the 75-day period to explore the viability of a new D97 headquarters in the village hall parking lot was announced.
This is an important issue that everyone in Oak Park should know about so they can be involved in the discussion and the decision-making process.
Living less than a block away from the site of this proposed new multi-story office building, my neighbors and I are very concerned about the project, but this is way bigger than just upsetting a few NIMBY South Oak Parkers — this will have ramifications affecting everyone in Oak Park. Lombard Avenue south of village hall is already a racetrack, with speeding cars and emergency police traffic. With at least 20+ kids on our block alone, every parent is rightly worried when our kids have to cross the street. We even had a car drive through our block party last year and luckily no one was injured.
The village hall parking lot is always packed with the overflow ending up on our residential streets. Adding a multi-story office building with numerous employees is only going to make this traffic and congestion worse. Everyone remembers the heat wave at the start of the school year, with kids being kept home or suffering in sweltering classrooms. D97 seems to have a lot of reasons why our kids can't have air conditioning, although their current "outdated" headquarters building manages to have it. You don't have to be a PR genius to see that selling Oak Park citizens on a spanking new office building before our kids have something as basic as AC looks and sounds terrible. As Oak Park taxpayers in a very modest house, the property tax portion of our mortgage payment is almost more than our principal and interest. I'm no math wizard, but no matter what they may say, having lived in Oak Park for 13 years, I'm sure our property taxes will be affected and increased by this project in one way or another.
Now here we are, at the start of a 75-day period to evaluate the viability of a major capital expenditure that neither the village nor D97 has the guts to admit they really want. It's hard to believe spending millions of dollars on a brand new office building is the only way to give D97 acceptable office space. There isn't one appropriate vacant building in all of Oak Park? They can't fix what they already have? If they really want to improve the Madison corridor, why on earth would they suggest building a new building in the parking lot of another building, just feet away from people's homes and not on Madison at all?
If you're concerned about this, I urge you to get involved. Go to the upcoming village and D97 board meetings. Our neighbors have started a group called NO D97 BLDG HERE. Please consider liking our Facebook page at www.facebook.com/NOD97BLDGHERE or signing our petition at www.tinyurl.com/NOD97BLDG. We even have signs you can print for your windows.
Remember, there will be a public forum on Dec. 7 or 14 and there is a Jan. 25 deadline to make a decision on this. With the involvement of as many Oak Park residents as possible, I'm hopeful we can make our voices heard.

these are questions that need to be answered BEFORE further steps are taken in what seems a completely crazy idea.

Last night I went to the D97 meeting and had to wait over 3 hours to have my chance to speak for 3 minutes. One of the board members (can't remember which one) said something about how they get emails all the time from 50 or 100 people but that doesn't really reflect the views of "all of Oak Park." Let's show them they are wrong! Please encourage your friends and neighbors to sign the petition against this building at www.tinyurl.com/NOD97BLDG

There is a D97 Board Meeting tomorrow (Tuesday) night at 7pm -- it would be great if as many people as possible could attend
tired of being dissed
Posted: November 15th, 2013 10:20 PM
The D97 school board is more than capable of ignoring comments from "crazies" aka anybody who doesn't agree with them. The recent referendum was "for the kids" and the school board promised they would manage the money carefully. And ever since they have been on a non-stop spending spree. The next board election in never more than 2 years away. Time to start organizing now. We should not allow any incumbents to get reelected.

@Q,I agree w/ you about complaining on this comment board.While some elected officials may read comments at oakpark.com, this is not the forum to let any elected officials know your viewpoints.Each taxing body has a website w/ a "contact us" page,w/ email addresses for the Board members.And public comments R always allowed @open meetings.The websites have agendas & minutes posted,so residents can B informed & go right 2 the source(s) rather than rely on an already over-burdened weekly newspaper.

You're wrong Q. People do need to vote in elections, very true, but in the interim there is a lot citizens can do to put pressure on the D97 Board to stop them from acting solely in their own best interests, and not the community. D97 is going to have a serious, serious fight on their hands. They are banking on people having your attitude.
Q from Oak Park

Bridgett from Oak Park, once an elected official has the decision to make what they want happen, it doesn't matter how many people complain on a comment board. Once things get done, there is nothing left to complain about until the next project.

@Q, why would you wait until election time? People need to pay attention and be active more often than once every four years.
Posted: November 13th, 2013 6:22 PM
I expressed myself last time around for a "NO" to the referendum and nearly got run outta town. Meanwhile Carolina Song is still prancing about and even got a gig out of the whole debacle. You be there the 7th or 14th. Maybe one of the admins want to buy my house.

I saw NO to D97 on building a new building in the Village Hall lot or anywhere else.
Q from Oak Park
Posted: November 13th, 2013 5:26 PM
If they want to build the building and it will work on the property that they are evaluating, then they will build it. If you don't like the decisions they make, then you express yourself when it's election time.

Great letter. This impacts all Oak Parkers. It is a boondoggle - a new building is unnecessary and unwanted. Voice your opinion at the public forum fellow Oak Parkers! See you on December 7 or 14!

I drew him during a meeting; it was a very necessary meeting but as I was only the youth rep I really didn't have much to contribute and I listen better while I am doodling anyway. There's something I really love about this pic; it makes me smile. I drew a second pic of him as well, so he really needs a name. I am open to suggestions :)

Maybe Bosh will go there and Wade will go somewhere else like the Elton Brand / Baron Davis fiasco .
But to that article... no chance. They should give us Beasley/Cook/First round picks for the next 3 years for .. Bosh/Banks/Kapono .. then i'd do it. |

i think collangelo would be wary of creating a decade-long eastern powerhouse.
but just for fun... bosh+kapono+banks for JO+beasley+picks it'd clear one heck of a load of capspace for next summer. anyway... the article says that bc, like a lot of others, foresees beasley as a 3. the heat — the team that knows him best — see his best future at the four. that's why they ditched marion: he's also best at pf (like haslem, too). beasley worries me as a guy who will have a career with good numbers, but hollow stats. but, i guess, just because beasley comes in, doesn't mean he can't be moved on somewhere else. |

No chance I'd even consider that deal. It doesn't address the teams needs at all.
Beasley is lazy, plays no D and is a 4. We've got too many damn 4's as it is. If Bosh is moved it should, preferably, be to a team out west where he stands less of a chance of "Vincing" the shit out of us 4-6 times a year. |

Conventional basketball be damned. Who needs a point guard anyway? They're so over-rated with all their stupid dribbling and passing. |

exactly at 6-7 ill try playing him at the SF even though PF is his natural position
just like how Bargnani started his NBA career at the SF and now is playing C because of his size its all about players being able to adapt to the positions. If beasley can handle the ball then he wont have to much of a problem playing SF |

Walking Sketches
I've been lucky today. Even having lots of work to do, I was able to draw a couple of things. The trick is grabbing the moment. Time is precious, and there's always something pulling you this way and that. This afternoon I took my daughter for a short scooter jaunt around the neighborhood. I also took a tiny moleskine sketchbook I had neglected for some time. I was able to draw a few doodles while keeping track of my wandering charge. We both got a little exercise, and I got to sketch at the same time. Impulsive, or obsessive? I don't care. Any art time is a good time. Thanks for dropping by.

« Go Back Friday, March 11th, 2016Do you even Snap, Bro? Yes, yes we do! We also, Tweet, Facebook and Instagram! If you aren't connected to Worlds of Fun socially, it's time to get on board! Engaging with social media followers has been one of the highlights of my short time here. The parks don't have to be open to share what's going on.
Whether it's a snow covered coaster or a sweet January sunrise, I want to give everyone a sense of what it's like in the "off season". One of the best parts, being able to keep you updated on the installation of new rides in Planet Snoopy. You've been able to see them since they were offloaded from a shipping container and then installed in their new home. The next update on the progress will come in the next week or so when the rides are fired up for the first time!
It has also been a great way to help answer your questions! Following Worlds of Fun allows you to ask anything, any time. Opening Day? April 16th. Do I get free parking with a 2016 Gold Pass? Yes! Are the five new family rides just for little kids? NO! Are you hiring? How old do I have to be? What do different positions pay? When we have to hire a couple thousand people for the season, you can imagine all the questions people have. Sure you can go to our website or track down an email address or a phone number, but don't forget we are here for you socially too!
The posts, tweets, shares, stories, snaps etc. will be on the rise as we get closer to opening day and into the 2016 season! We encourage the questions and hope to see you share all YOUR memories as well! Look for special hashtags and Snapchat (WorldsOfFunKC) geo-filters to use on each and every visit! See you #SOON!

The Cultus
In Japan the Suzuki's mini-car was sold as the "Cultus", so it was probably just as well that the company adopted the Swift name for Australia. It landed here at a time when there was some pretty fierce competition from
, so the company was obviously pretty confident their product could take the fight up to the by then well established brands.
Of course the mini car of the 1980s had come a long way from those of the 1950s, which featured a near-total lack of
, a violent tendency to swap ends, or an asthmatic wheeze whenever the tiny engine was called upon to escape the path of something potentially harmful.
Suzuki Swift GA and GL
The Suzuki Swift was sold in Australia as the "basic" GA or "less basic" GL, and was pitched directly at the Honda City. The Swift GA had slightly lower trim levels than the Honda and sold for some A$400 less, while the GL had features not found on the Honda - rear wiper, FM radio, digital clock and opening rear windows to name a few - and sold for A$105 more. Although the Daihatsu Duet was competitive in price to the GA, Suzuki saw that car as more the concern of its Hatch 800 model.
The 1.0-litre, three-cylinder Swift had its work cut out to match the 1.2-litre, four-cylinder City. The Swift's three-cylinder engine, mounted transversely and driving through the front wheels, was an entirely new unit which Suzuki claimed to be the lightest 1.0-litre vehicle engine in the world. The design incorporated a hollow crankshaft and thinner-gauge piston rings, which enabled far lighter pistons to be used. The complete engine weighed just 63kg and produced an ample 37kW of power for the tiny vehicle.
One of the more noticeable drawbacks of the three-cylinder design was its noise and apparent coarseness: it developed maximum power at 5800rpm and really responded when it was kept around this mark. Sound intrusion in the non-carpeted GA model was more significant than in the GL, though when cruising in fifth (or more happily in fourth) it really wasn't a problem. And for a "commercial vehicle" it was quite good.
Leaf Spring Rear End
Somewhat strangely Suzuki engineers stuck with a leaf
setup at the rear, when coil springs were a more modern and obvious alternative for a vehicle which, by nature of its short wheelbase, would have been inclined to pitch and dive somewhat. Suzuki, however, claimed that the combination of coil-over struts at the front and leaf
at the rear had shown no vices. The company also claimed that the leaf
layout afforded extra space in the rear luggage compartment. While the space gains in the rear were negligible (the shock absorbers still intruded upon the interior) any liabilities brought about by the use of leaf springs were also negligible.
Behind the Wheel
The Swift was quite surprising in its road confidence, and its stability in all but very strong crosswinds belied its paltry 670kg weight. From the inside, the Swift had a reassuring compactness and its steering was a delight. The seats, however (with cloth inserts on the GL) tended to allow the occupants to roll from side to side. A little extra bolstering in the seatbacks would have cured this problem. The GA's interior was, as you would have imagined, pretty Spartan, but not in an offensive manner. At the time there were plenty of other, more-expensive Japanese cars with far more features all wrapped up in a cheap, badly designed dash layout.
The dash treatment, with both the GA and the GL, was very clean and the finish was quite good. The GL was, all-round, a more serious passenger car, looking more the part with its AM/FM radio and more comprehensive instrumentation. A tachometer came only as an option. The false floor in the rear of the Swift looked easy enough to remove, and novel features of both versions were the rear speakers, armrests and ashtrays. It was a reminder to Australian buyers that the Swift was sold in Japan and Europe as a four-seater. Studies undertaken by Suzuki in Australia in 1983 showed that, of the total number of Hatch examples sold here, only 13.5 percent had been fitted with rear seats. This fact would have also been interesting to GM-H, who were to market the Swift as a small Holden at the end of 1984.
Suzuki's interpretation of the modern mini was inexpensive, handled quite well, stopped adequately and offered zippy performance. Suzuki claimed a top speed of 145km/h and a 0-100km time of 15.9 seconds. Road testers could better 14 seconds, so we assume Suzuki were showing caution when quoting performance figures. On the whole, the Swift's performance wasn't too far behind the Honda City, despite giving away 200cm3 to the latter car. The only difference was that the Honda carried no price penalty for its extra performance.

VA Small Biz Facing 40 Percent Increase in Insurance Costs Due to Obamacare (Washington Free Beacon)
A small business owner in Virginia faces a 40 percent cost increase in his company's health insurance plan.
Wistar Nelligan, owner and founder of Nelligan Insulation, told WSET-VA that "Everybody is confused and nervous" about the changes Obamacare will impose on his company, which was started in 1999.
He enjoys providing health insurance for his 25 employees and says it's a good plan with good benefits.
They've tried putting the premium hike off as long as possible and extending their current plan early. Their insurance policy will expire in December.

Details: For a guy who loves his beer, this is a gift that will keep on giving! This home brewing kit comes with a 1-gallon glass fermenter that he can reuse over and over. The only thing he'll need to buy again are the ingredients. Best of all, there are seven tasty flavors to choose from including Afternoon Wheat, Everday IPA, and Bruxelles Blonde.
Price: $40 for a gallon of home-brewed beer? It may seem like a lot for beer, but it's the experience that makes it worth it. Plus, it's a great way for him to try something new and DIY his own beer!

Cheers !
Another Awesome Survival Game
ok the game was very good you must make medals for the game
Thanks !
really good
i took off 2 points because i was using a laptop and had to reach over my hand using the mouse pad to hit the down arrow and i wish i could have used space or something. also the other thing... upgrades. it would have been ultimataly better with a simple upgrade system or different pogo sticks. but its still really fun
I'm Glad you had fun playing the game , I didn't think about laptop players I will remember that for other games I'm working on !
very good but need
buy upgrades,and the capacibility of jump into helicopters,planes and pedestrians
Thanks , If I made a new version of this game those are good ideas !
For now I am working on some other projects Thanks for playing
Funnest game I have played in a while!
Good Job!
Thanks !
Quite interesting.
Honestly, the only flaws I can find are that the bouncing animation is a bit off, the cars scroll a tad bit too fast, and that when you go close to the edge of the screen it stops, as opposed to at the very edge of the screen. Many a times I have almost destroyed a car, but when it is about to scroll of the screen and I go for it, it pauses my game. But aside from those, it's pretty amazing. The idea is of none I've ever seen before, the game-play is strangely addicting, is well animated to an extent, it has achievements (which are almost always fun to fulfill), and is very simple to get a hang of. Truly remarkable. But I must ask, how did you even come up with the idea for this game?
Thanks sounds like you had fun playing the game and that's really cool !

Alan Beamer is just like any other man.
He loves his family, his friends, and his community.
But recently, everything changed for Alan. He was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease and the effect it has had on his life stretches much further than just his mind.
Alan's wife made a short video about him where she asked him questions about how he was feeling about his diagnosis.
In the video, Alan is seen with tears streaming down his face as he talks about how hard it has been to come to terms with the disease.
He says he feels like he has lost much more than his mind; he feels as though his friends treat him differently now and that has made it all so much harder to deal with.
Alan's wife, who affectionately calls him Beam, can be heard asking him questions from behind the camera.
"What we would like you to know is what Alan feels… So that's where we're going to go," she begins.
"Beam, you have Alzheimer's. What do you want people to know about Alzheimer's?"
An emotional Alan wipes the tears from his face as he answers.
"It's mean, mean, one of the meanest things I've ever seen in my life," he said.
Alan says he thinks his friends are avoiding him because they don't know how to act around him.
"I'm the same old person and I wish my friends could just come up and talk to me just like they did before.
"And you know, play around and joke around."
He says he wants people to know that he's having a hard time dealing with it too, and that he doesn't always know how to handle it either.
Alan's wife says she thinks it's important for people to know she and Alan often feel the same way his friends do: uncomfortable and unsure about how to talk about it.
"I think one of the biggest things we want them to know is that we're not comfortable with it either, but we live it every day. We can't get away from it."
The video has been viewed over a million times and has touched thousands of people who were moved by Alan's honesty.
Those who have been through similar situations with Alzheimer's and a range of other diseases say they know just how he feels and that they hope this video will help their own friends and family understand what they are going through.
Other' who have watched their own husbands and wives or parents navigate their way through a serious illness say the video really hit home with them.
It's hoped that Alan's story will help people to understand that those who are sick or diagnosed with a disease are still the same on the inside and just want to be treated the same way by their friends and family.
Take a look at Alan's story below and tell us how it makes you feel.
Alzheimer's has changed a lot of things about his life, but Beamer is still the same guy inside — and that's all he wants his friends to remember. (via INSIDER)
Posted by Upworthy Video on Monday, March 28, 2016
Can you relate to what Alan is saying? Have you or anyone you know been in a similar situation?
Love to Travel?
Have you signed up for Travel at 60's VIP Hot Deals Club yet?
Get holidays tailored to the dreams and bucket lists of over 60's from the best suppliers in the country.
It's a brave decision for someone to talk about their diagnosis with Alzheimer's.
I think the important thing, as Alan says, is that he's still the same person and he just wants people to behave towards him as they always have. This disease is hard enough to deal with, without the person also feeling alienated from their friends.
This insidious disease is what Alan says "mean". No discrimating here. But what is not said is that it is a very slow disease and takes years and years to really show itself. Notice the little things, these little tiny changes appear and then if you notice them jump on them. There are things out there that can help. Get it before it gets you. There is no cure that I know of. I wish you the best Alan. Exercise your body and mind. It does help oh and get a little notebook it is invaluable. Please look after yourself. Regards j.

The capital of Catalonia and cultural capital of Spain, Barcelona is a beautiful and breathlessly vibrant metropolis blessed with everything you could want from a world-class city and far more.
Barcelona is a city of avant-garde architecture and fountain-lined boulevards. A city where tapas bars hide among winding medieval corridors and fashionable boutiques and super-slick nightclubs jostle for attention. A city where you can relax on a golden beach that glows in the Mediterranean sunshine or watch the world's greatest football team ply their trade. Yet among the glamour and excitement, colourful markets and a bustling working port remind us that the traditional Catalan way of life is not lost.
City breaks in Barcelona are loved by all. Whether you plan on treating the family to a weekend away, enjoying a fun getaway with your friends or eloping with your loved one for a romantic escape, few cities can match Barcelona.
There are many things to do on a city break in Barcelona. Go bar hopping down La Rambla, browse the fashionable designer stores of El Born, before returning later to hit the clubs. Wander the green pastures of Park Güell or explore the cobbled courtyards and alleys of the stunning Gothic Quarter. Marvel at the glittering trophy room at the Nou Camp and soak up the rays on Barceloneta Beach. Eat freshly-caught fish down by the harbour or sample the culinary delights of the famous La Boqueria Market.
Antoni Gaudi's artistic presence can be felt throughout the city. Fearlessly imaginative, La Sagrada Familia cathedral is his masterwork. It and continues to attract millions of visitors each year despite the fact that it remains unfinished after 100 years or so of construction.
Fans of the architect should also make a beeline for La Pedrera, Palau Guell and Casa Batlo to see more of his brightly-coloured tiles and chimneys, all of which are Unesco World Heritage sites.
There is plenty more for art-lovers on a Barcelona holiday including the Picasso Museum, the Joan Miró Foundation and the Museum of Contemporary Arts (MACBA).
A feast for all the senses and a cosmopolitan metropolis of irrepressible flair, is Barcelona the greatest city on Earth? Book a city break with us and find out for yourself!

Easy Nigerian Cake Recipe (Pound Cake (2)

Pound Cake Recipe For The Learner
Easy pound cake well baked. |
This no stress pound cake recipe is especially for the learner who thinks that baking is difficult. This recipe doesn't ask that you mix anything separately before adding. All you have to do is measure and pour in a large bowl. Everything every other thing takes less than 10 minutes and your cake is put in the oven. All you need is a stand mixer because the weight is going to be much for manual mixing.
4 cups all purpose flour
2 cups sugar
2 cups butter ( I used 2 sachets baking margarine)
6 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla essence
- Layer all the ingredients in a bowl, start with the flour, sugar, butter, eggs and finally vanilla.

How to bake cake using sand in a cooking pot; No Oven
Delicious Cake baked using sand in a cooking pot placed on a stove top.
I have posted a cake baked without an oven earlier on the blog. However, that cake wasn't baked using sand. The baking pan was paced directly on the pot and I don't think I'll bake like that again. Using sand and foil actually maintains the pot and is neat too. This I experimented with a small sized cake and because it turned out so great, I'll bake much bigger cakes using these method in the future becaause my oven actually consumes more gas than baking in a pot on the burners. Even when one has an oven, baking in a pot with sand really saves gas because less is consumed.
To see how to bake meat pie and other foods without an oven, follow this link. (Click on the red link)
- 3 cups flour
- 1 sachet baking margarine
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- a pinch of salt
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 8 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla essence.
First of all I accidentally added the sugar direct to flour instead of beating it with margarine first, that scared me but the cake turned out great. Because sugar had already accidentally been added to dry flour, I had to add the eggs one after the other and beat with margarine before adding the vanilla essence.
Baking without oven procedure:
The sifted flour which already has other dry ingredients added, now begins to get folded in with the egg/margarine mixture. After all the folding in, The taste is great and by now the pot of sand has been on the stove for about 20 minutes. The baking pan is greased, some flour sprinkled inside before pouring in the batter. Foil is used to cover the sand before the baking pan is placed on the foil in the

Recipe: How to bake Nigerian Meat pie on a stove (without an oven)
Nigerian meat pie is usually baked in an oven, but can also easily be baked on a stove top using a baking pan and cooking pot. This meat pie turned out as good as the ones I baked in an oven. What the meat pie needs to bake is just the heat whether in an oven or stove top. The process of making the batter and scooping in the meat and vegetable is the same (as shown on the step by step meat pie making pictures below) The only thing I did differently here is heat a cooking pot with sand in it for about 40 minutes, cover with foil to prevent sand entering your food. Grease a baking pan, sprinkle flour in it, arranged the meat pies neatly and place in the heated pot. You can also cover the baking pan inside with foil (I didn't). When the meat pie is cooked in about 40 minutes, I flip and leave for about 5 more minutes (This depends om how hot your stove/cooker is). For my cooker, I remove from heat after flipping and waiting 5 minutes. My delicious meat pie is ready.
- Use 5 cups plain flour ( 1kg is about 8 cups)
- 250g baking margarine. I don't have butter today.
- 2 teaspoons baking powder, If you using self raising flour, then do not add baking powder
- 1/2 a teaspoon salt
- About 300 ml water
For the filling, I had some preserved in the freezer after making this meat pie and chicken pie here. Had to bring them out, mix and use. You can make the filling by following THIS MEAT PIE RECIPE HERE.
This is how to make meat pie without an oven.

Recipe: How To Make Nigerian Chicken Pie
Nigerian chicken pie is made the exact same way Nigerian meat pie is made, the only difference here is that chicken is used instead of beef. Very few ingredients are needed and it's easy to make. These pies are so delicious by the time I entered the room and came out, only one was seen lying on the foil and the girls said they just managed to leave that one for me to have a taste of my food, Lol.
Chicken pies are a complete meal that's so filling you won't want to chew anything else after eating, especially if they are as delicious as these ones...
- 5 cups flour
- 500g butter ( I used baking margarine)
- 1 chicken breast ( I bought already cooked one with Drumsticks takeaway rice, ate my rice and used the chicken breast for this pie so I didn't get to buy any chicken and there was no need for boiling before using. Lol)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 500ml water
- 4 large irish potatoes
- 3 knorr seasoning cubes
- 7 large carrots
- 1 teaspoon thyme ( you can use more)
- 2 eggs (used the whites for glazing)
These ingredients produced 6 large and 2 small chicken pies. Remember, homemade is the best as

Pizza is very easy to make at home. The main ingredients are just flour, tomato ketchup and cheese. With those, you can add other ingredients to make any pizza of choice.Kids love this food and it's not easy to always buy in this economy. You can put just about anything in a pizza-Fresh pepper, green pepper, chillis, mushrooms, sausages, chicken, ground beef, cooked shrimps, tomatoes, vegetables and even fruits. More pizza recipes on the blog.

Nigerian Meat Pie For This Weekend, Let's indulge a little
This is Nigerian meat pie. Freshly baked. |
We love meat pie,the kids too, knowing a little history of these delicious pies can go a long way in helping us bake even more varieties.The beginning of the meat pie can be traced back to the Neolithic Period, around 9500 BC. The ancient Egyptians' diet featured basic pies made from oat, wheat, rye, and barley, and filled with honey and baked over hot coals.
These pies were eventually adopted by the Greeks, and it is there that a flour-water paste substance closely resembling pie pastry was created and was first filled with meat. In

How To Bake Cake Without An Oven (Updated recipe)
baking cake in a cooking pot |
Baking Nigerian cake is very easy whether with or without oven. What many people do not know is that Nigerian cake is actually pound cake, can be baked in a bread pan, doesn't require much mixing.
The girls and I tried to save gas at the village by baking with firewood. Everyone that ate the cake complimented it. I did not eat though because I am really struggling with reduction of my sugar intake. Visitors and family enjoyed the cake.

Fucking Zen as Shit
So, a year ago today, my doctor confirmed what i had already figured out.
Was Diabetic, and fucked. Last year I was 385#, had sleep apnea, wore 3XL and 4XL, blood sugar was in the high 400's, A1C was 17, had some liver and kidney damage and never had much energy. Now one year later, i'm 215#, no sleep apnea, Size L, blood sugar is around 70, A1C is 5.1, Liver and kidney panels are almost to normal levels. If my gigantic fatass can do it (and I had said for several years there was no way i'd ever even be close to 300#) then anybody can if you actually try. Now to get a few more inch's off of the midsection and i'll be a happy camper. |

Im not sure if it was covered already but anyone got a favorite website for healthy recipes and ideas? My problem is im busy and I always end up eating like shit(fast food) at least a few times a week. I need to cut that bullshit out.

I'm not old, honest...
Awesome Sandals, simply awesome. You should be proud of yourself.
I'm down a whopping (negligible compared to you) 16 pounds from 5 weeks ago and I can feel a difference. You must feel amazing. This thread gave me incentive and I am proving to myself that I can do it. I'm almost to the point where I was 20 years ago. Montecarlo, here's my recipe. For years I have had a yogurt & some granola for breakfast and still do the same. Beyond that, I used to eat a bag of cookies from the vending machine every morning with coffee. I would go out for lunch & eat whatever came to mind from fast food to bar food. I would have a pop in the afternoon for a pick me up along with a Snickers bar or bag of chips. I would eat a good meal at home every night but a bowl of ice cream while watching TV was common. Now, Same yogurt for breakfast. No mid morning snack. I have a cup of herbal tea. I go to the grocery store each week & buy packages of cheese sticks, some (somewhat) healthy crackers and a piece of fruit for each day. Each day I sit at my desk & eat 3 cheese sticks, enough crackers to make it tasty and a piece of fruit. (I am saving a shit load of money too. Went from $50/wk for lunch to $15-20) No afternoon snack. I drink water. Same dinner, keep the portions small. No snacks at night, another herbal tea. If we go out to dinner, I've been eating some form of salad (preferably with some fruit) with blackened chicken on it. Dressing on the side and just dip into the dressing instead of slathering the whole salad. That's it.... 3 pounds a week going away. I hope I can keep going. We are also trying to do more walking in the evening but that hasn't been going so well. |

Thanks Jim for the advice.. Makes sense, I knew I have to have smaller healthier snacks instead of large, unhealthy meals but in the moment of truth, I buckle.. Its my fault for not liking to go shopping. Usually only end up eating a granola for breakfast most days, expect for sunday morning when we have our "household" breakfast all together. Its my unhealthy lunch/dinner choices that Im having a problem with, and end up stuffing myself out of habit. But snacking for me usally isn't a problem, I guess I try to stuff myself so I don't have to eat as often? Everytime I start a somewhat diet also, it doesn't last long which is all my fault as well. Im gunna keep trying tho.

Fucking Zen as Shit
I use an app on the phone to help track what i'm taking in a day.
I just aim for under the calories (1800/day right now) low fat, low carb, higher protein. I buy and eat a lot of Chobani greek yogurt, lean meats and chicken, salads etc. Very, very little grains, rice, pasta or potato's. More vegetables, cheese sticks etc. Jimmy dean has some good (processed, but fairly healthy) frozen breakfast things. Some Sandwiches, breakfast bowls that are turkey sausage, egg whites etc, taste pretty decent. Switched some things to more poultry based, i.e. turkey sausage, turkey pepperoni or similar. If i add granola to my yogurt (which i do every so often) it's the Bear naked brand, high protein one (blue bag). In april I added exercise (had already lost about 60#) Nice weather i'll go do 15-20 miles on my bike, inclement weather/ hotel, i'll do from 30-70 minutes on an elliptical. |

Do you fill the car up to park it in the garage? Breakfast should be one of the biggest most nutritious meals of the day. Quote:
The beauty is that you have ALREADY learned the hard part (controlling what you eat) adding some "better" exercise will really accelerate your gains. You don't need much of it either to have a lasting calorie burning effective after a nice intense work out. |

The fuel in a car is a great analogy. But, I have a hard time eating a big breakfast early in the morning. Wait till 9:00 & I can eat a lot, but @ 6:30/7:00, I have never been able to force it down.

I typically try to eat a small something as soon as I wake up followed by a larger meal as soon as I can stomach it. |

My first or second?
My eating habits aren't what I would suggest for the average person trying to lose weight. I have a high strung metabolism and I am a pretty high strung active person (surprise right?) Greasemonkey and I spoke a little about my eating habits in this thread here: http://www.greatlakes4x4.com/showthr...light=crossfit If you want more info let me know. Not saying by any means that my diet is perfect, but I'm still maintaining the 175lbs at about 13% bodyfat. Even after a broken sternum sidelined me for almost 3 months and I wasn't able to do anything other than sit on my ass. |

Im very active, but when I wake up and am usally out the door, showered and all, for work in less than 30 mins it limts my options. Im gunna do some good shopping this weekend and see what I can do. |

+ Cellular Networks CPSC441, Winter 2010
+ First Mobile Telephone System One and only one high power base station with which all users communicate. Entire Coverage Area Normal Telephone System Wired connection
+ Problem with Original Design Original mobile telephone system could only support a handful of users at a time…over an entire city! With only one high power base station, users phones also needed to be able to transmit at high powers Car phones were therefore much more feasible than handheld phones.
+ The Core Idea: Cellular Concept The core idea that led to todays system was the cellular concept. The cellular concept: multiple lower-power base stations that service mobile users within their coverage area and handoff users to neighboring base stations as users move. Together base stations tessellate the system coverage area.
+ Main Principles Small cells tessellate overall coverage area. Users handoff as they move from one cell to another. Frequency reuse.
+ Tessellation Three regular polygons that always tessellate: Equilateral triangle Square Regular Hexagon Triangles Squares Hexagons
+ Circular Coverage Areas Antennas are omni-directional (usually) Circles dont tesselate! Closest shape - hexagon Users located outside some distance to the base station receive weak signals. Result: base station has circular coverage area. Weak signal Strong signal
+ Thus the Name Cellular With hexagonal coverage area, a cellular network is drawn as: The network resembles cells from a honeycomb thus the name cellular! Base Station
+ Handoffs Mobile users are mobile by definition! Continuous access to network required Not a problem within a cell Moving between cells requires a handoff mechanism!
+ A Handoff At some point, users signal is weak enough at B 1 strong enough at B 2 Messages between users and base stations required to coordinate handoff B1B1 B2B2
+ Cellular Networks Components
+ PSTN – Public Switched Telephone Network MSC – Mobile Switching Centre Connects PSTN to BSS BSS – Base Station System Interface between cellular network and mobile user MS – Mobile Stations Cellphones, Carphones, etc.
+ Frequency Reuse Total spectrum allocated to the service provider is broken up into smaller bands Adjacent cells assigned different frequencies to avoid interference or crosstalk Spectrum is limited – need to reuse frequency Optimal assignment is equivalent to graph colouring problem – NP-Hard!
+ Example of Frequency Reuse Cells using the same frequencies
+ Multiple Access Methods Three widely-used policies: Frequency Division Multiple Access (FDMA) Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA)
+ FDMA In FDMA, the band of frequency is broken up into smaller bands, i.e., subbands. Each transmitter (user) transmits to the base station using radio waves in its own subband. Frequency Subbands Cell Phone User 1 Cell Phone User 2 : Cell Phone User N Time
+ TDMA In pure TDMA, base station does not split up its allotted frequency band into smaller frequency subbands. Rather it communicates with the users one-at-a- time, i.e., round robin access. … Frequency Bands Time User 1 User 2 User 3 User N
+ Hybrid FDMA/TDMA The TDMA used by real cellular systems (like AT&Ts) is actually a combination of FDMA/TDMA. Base station breaks up its total frequency band into smaller subbands. Base station also divides time into slots and frames. Each user is now assigned a frequency and a time slot in the frame.
+ Hybrid FDMA/TDMA (Contd) Time … … User 1User 2User 10 User 11User 12User 20 … … User 31User 32User 40 User 21User 22User 30 Assume a base station divides its frequency band into 4 subbands and time into 10 slots per frame. … … User 1User 2User 10 User 11User 12User 20 … … User 31User 32 User 40 User 21User 22 User 30 … … … … Frame Frequency Subband 1 Frequency Subband 2 Frequency Subband 3 Frequency Subband 4
+ CDMA CDMA is a more complicated scheme. Users communicate with BSS at the same time and using the same set of frequencies. A desired users signal is deciphered using a unique code assigned to the user.

I'm looking for the shorts.
I can't find them, so I don't think they are Adidas.
I'm wondering if anyone on here has any experience with Shades of Grey shirt sizing. Found a "slim-fit" offering of theirs online in size medium and I want to know if it would fit me. Usually I wear size small in Ralph Lauren/Rugy/JCrew/BB slim-fit oxfords.
So anyone know what's up with this stuff?
I did, but couldn't find them.
They look like Joyrich shorts, but again I couldn't find them.
I've been searching for "leopard shorts" a lot too, but no luck :(
Hello I just joined because you guys seem to know your stuff. I just got hired as a full time employee at my University (was previously a student) and have been trying to update my wardrobe to dress nicely and appropriately.
I have been wearing mostly Polo Ralph Lauren dress shirts and oxfords but have been recently looking at Ruby Ralph Lauren but have no experience with any of their items. I am wondering if Rugby Ralph Luaren shirts such as this one: http://www.rugby.com/shop/item.aspx?productId=12322599&categoryId=3940586&cp=3870663 are slimmer fitting than PRL custom fit oxfords? I want a slimmer look as I feel PRL shirts are a little big on me (especially classic fit.)
I am 5'9, 140 lbs. Thank you for any and all advice.
Hi guys, could anybody shed some light on the world of Chinese Faux-Italiano brands? My current understanding is that many of them come from the same factory, just with different names (sometimes more than one per suit) tacked on.
Browsing past threads, I've gathered that
Joseph Bach=Abito Sartoriale=Luciano Bardelli=Mattazari Uomo=Marco Valentino
Can anybody confirm this relation?
I'm asking because I recently purchased a "Luciano Bardelli" blazer for $340 thinking it was essentially the same as a "Marco Valentino" which based on some of the feedback on these boards, is considered to be a decent quality, entry-level make. It's navy and 100% wool with a half Canvass, fits me quite well and appears to be of good quality. Should I keep it as sort of a "beginner's blazer" or should I attempt to return it tomorrow.
I ended up buying it because I couldn't really find a better deal in NYC (probably doin' it wrong; my inexperience is showing), and the next best thing I came across was a Versace sport coat for $346@ Saks, and that thing was fused and 65% polyester.
(Also, it says that the fabric is by Marzotto)
They had Fitzgeralds as well, which I ended up preferring. Had a large selection off sizes and styles, so I didn't feel rushed to make a buy. I may go back tomorrow.

A Marine staff sergeant who urinated on dead Taliban insurgents has pleaded guilty to two charges, the Marine Corps said on Thursday. His sentence was a reduction in rank and forfeiture of $500 in pay. Staff Sergeant Joseph Chamblin pleaded guilty at a court-martial to dereliction of duty. He also pleaded guilty to wrongfully urinating on a deceased enemy combatant. The episode occurred in Afghanistan in July 2011, and came in light in January, when video was posted online.

When I went in today, there was a barista I do not know too well but seems like a nice person. The owner of Muddy's was there too (I will not divulge his name as he may wish to remain anonymous) and we exchanged our hellos. I noticed a plate of candy and asked if they were already getting into the spirit of Halloween. I was told that it was a Mongolian tradition to put out candy when someone has passed on, and that Paulabarak had died in a car accident.

People, good decent people, will be forced to cross some lines. Some to protect themselves will use weapons against the aggressors that are on the edge of that bell curve, some out of need for food or water will loot places, some out of misery will push and shove.

I Find This Video Odd: Ryan Kesler Is Addicted to Ruining Interviews
Posted by
Harrison Mooney
At least he kept his shirt on this time, but I feel he's overcompensating. All we ask, Kesler, is that you wear the minimum amount of clothing required to buy Doritos at a Chevron. Luongo's mask is overdoing it.
Luongo's pretty superstitious about his masks. He briefly switched to a new one before deciding it brought bad luck and switching back to the one Kesler sports in the above video. Kes has better hope the magic remains, otherwise this stops being a hilarious running joke and becomes a motive for felony assault.
Here's my newest theory: this is all part of a brilliant plan to change the perception that Ryan Kesler is a tad overserious. It would work if it weren't for how committed Kesler is to appearing in the background of every interview. He clearly takes interview bogarting very seriously.

As a mother of 2 children and 3 stepchildren, I've attended my share of sporting events throughout the years. My kids have tried everything from ballet to lacrosse and enjoyed most of it, including golf. After watching and sometimes participating in various ways, I've noticed different effects on the kids from different sports. Golf and swimming are two of my favourites with golf having an edge because I don't like all the ear infections that come from swimming pools. Golf has a multitude of benefits for kids, both physical and mental.
Fresh Air – Sunshine – Exercise
Need I say more? Fresh air, sunshine, and exercise are great for all of us and golf certainly gets them outside for all three. Sudden storms might pose a lightning threat but with use of common sense to come in out of the rain, that shouldn't be a problem.
Family Time
This too, is obvious. The typical family rushes in different directions from soccer to t-ball, followed by Little A's. A game of golf, played by everybody at the same time on the same course is a delightful, much easier, change of pace.
As an added bonus, golf is a sport that can be played from pre-school to elderly ages. Everyone from Jack Junior to Grandpa Jack can get out and play together. There is something special about participating in a sport that includes a large age span. Kids spend so much time with their same-age peers, it becomes hard for them to relate to people of other ages.
Spending time with the family and not having any technology in sight means conversations and communication, which in the world of iPods, iPads, and smart phones, is increasingly becoming rare even if you all live together.
Concentration & Coordination
Another benefit I really appreciate about golf is the concentration and coordination required to play. Most kids can kick a soccer ball pretty easily or throw a basketball somewhere near the backboard and net, but hitting a tiny ball off with a thin metal club is a different sort of thing altogether. It requires thorough concentration and better than average hand/eye coordination. If a kid doesn't naturally have it, it can be developed and the benefits from that will show in many areas of life.
Learning to Take Turns
Most sports require taking turns or waiting for time on the field. Golf is no different other than you're expected to wait and watch other players with a certain amount of respect and decorum. Kids don't need to be overly formal – after all, the idea is to have fun. It's simply not as rowdy a sport as football or baseball. Yet, it's no less competitive for those who love competition.
Creating Future Leaders
Golf is a game which teaches many life skills – hard work, practice, perseverance, reflection, respect, honesty, integrity, working with others, focusing on a task. These are skills of true leaders and are transferable to other areas of their lives both now and as they grow older. Many business owners, male and female, play golf and your own young future business leaders will have these inbuilt skills.
As a mother, the benefits gained by kids who play golf are clear. Patience, concentration, leadership, and respect are just a few attributes enhanced by the sport. Unlike little league or high school football, golf is a game you can easily play anytime in your life. If you're looking to have your kids involved in something outdoors that will give them a competitive edge throughout life, golf is an excellent sport.

RE: We Can Ship TWP Stains and Preservative to These States
Are there any dealers in Oklahoma? I have a one year old pool deck with a few pieces that have been replaced last week, which is the best for my area 100 or 1500? Should I let the new boards dry all summer before I stain them to get a more uniform color and match the old ones? The deck is pressure treated pine with a cedar skirting any thoughts on the color match between the two different woods? Thank You

When your Ford Focus car battery goes dead and you get a jump start, but it just goes dead again, that's a good sign that your alternator is broken. The alternator charges the battery, which gets the spark to the spark plugs and keeps electrical components working in the Ford Focus. The "Volts" warning light will light up on the dash of the Ford Focus when the computer can tell the alternator is failing.

Show More
- 1
Park your Ford Focus and remove the keys from the ignition. Allow the car to cool for several hours as the alternator gets hot while spinning, or you may burn your hand while removing it.
- 2
Pop the bonnet on your Ford Focus. Locate the alternator on the back left side of the engine under the bonnet.
- 3
Locate the spring tension pulley just in front of and below the alternator. Put the proper-sized socket wrench on the centre bolt of the tension pulley and push down. Slip the belt off the alternator pulley.
- 4
Unscrew the black cable connected to the negative battery post. Unscrew the other end of the black cable from the alternator with the proper sized socket wrench.
- 5
Unscrew the red cable connected to the alternator with the proper sized socket wrench.
- 6
Squeeze the sensor tab cable end on the alternator and pull it off.
- 7
Unscrew the two bolts holding the alternator to the engine bracket with the proper sized socket wrench.
