3. Add all dry spices (curry powder, cumin powder, coriander powder, garam masala & turmeric) and salt and mix well
4. Over a high heat add the diced chicken and brown. Reduce heat to medium
5. Remove chicken from pot and set aside
6. Add the water to the pot and bring to a slow boil. Add the potatoes and cook them until they begin to become tender
7. Return the chicken to the pot, add capsicum and tomatoes and continue to cook at a low boil. Stir occasionally, until the chicken and potatoes are cooked through

** The longer you cook the chicken, the more tender it will be. Just ensure it is kept at a low heat.

Giving Love, Getting Love, Giving to Get
Love. We need it from the moment we are born to thrive. We might survive but we do not thrive without abundant love. No wonder we work so hard to get it. No wonder we try to be perfect and do everything right to have control over getting love. No wonder we get anxious, angry or depressed when we do not get the love we need. No wonder we use numerous substance and process addictions to numb the pain when we feel alone and unloved.

Irish architects dig deep for London cancer treatment centre
Now we really know how big a hole it would take to fill the Albert Hall . . .
Excavation site of the NHS high-energy proton beam therapy centre in central London
One of London's largest ever excavations has been just completed with the help of Irish architects Scott Tallon Walker.
The job involved removing the equivalent of five storeys of earth – 80,000 cubic metres – to prepare the site for a cancer treatment centre at University College London Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.
The hole, dug by excavator McGee to a depth of 28.5m in an area 87m long by 67m wide, is big enough to accommodate the Royal Albert Hall or 640 London buses.
It took 300 workers 16 months to remove the earth. Some 1,850 tons of steel are being used to prop up the soil on the sides. This is an important consideration, as the City of London site (the former Odeon Cinema) is exceptionally tight and just 10m from the Tube's Northern Line.
There is continuous monitoring to ensure no disturbance to either site, especially as the lowest level of the hospital's basement is at the same depth as the tube tunnel.
Excavated material had to be disposed of in accordance with Breeam (Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method) standards. It was trucked out during the day; the earth was used to make a golf club in Oxfordshire, and boulder clay was made into bricks.
Proton beam therapy
Some 25,000 cubic metres of concrete will be placed below ground for the hospital's substructure. The depth was needed to house the hospital's proton beam accelerator – the latest treatment in cancer radiotherapy – so that the machine gets to the required velocity to work its magic. Proton beam therapy is a form of radiotherapy used to treat cancer that can be targeted extremely precisely, causing minimal damage to surrounding tissue.
The giant pit will also house two mechanical and electrical plant levels, two floors for patient proton beam therapy care and eight surgical theatres.
Above ground will be six floors, including Europe's largest centre for the treatment of blood disorders. The entire structure will 57m high.
When the £260 million building opens in 2020, it will be the second such facility in the UK – a proton beam therapy centre is due to open at the Christie in Manchester next year. Together they will treat about 750 patients a year.
Proton beam therapy had been offered overseas to NHS patients since 2008 in a programme that has supported around 1,000 patients.
Most challenging brief
Scott Tallon Walker are architects and lead consultants on the project, which is headed by Bouygues UK, one of Britain's leading construction companies. Some 3,000 workers will be involved in the construction overall.
"This may have been STW's most challenging brief ever," says chairman Eoin O'Morain, "removing earth equivalent to 640 London bus loads out of the centre of one the world's busiest capitals. But the team effort has delivered and we're looking forward to delivering the project on time and on budget, a core component of our contract.
"We've had a practice in London for well over four decades and we've recently been voted one of the top 10 healthcare practices in the UK," he adds. "We're also working on the remodelling, refurbishment and extension of two iconic buildings within the St Bartholomew's Hospital site to provide a new cardiac-focused hospital for Nuffield Health.
"The two buildings make up an important classical frontage to Giltspur Street in the heart of City of London. Some of your readers may know the buildings better as a film location for the BBC TV series Sherlock."

Count Hieronymus Joseph Franz de Paula Graf Colloredo von Wallsee und Melz (31 May 1732[1] – 20 May 1812) was Prince-Bishop of Gurk from 1761 to 1772 and Prince-Archbishop of Salzburg from 1771 until 1803, when the prince-archbishopric was secularized. After secularization, Colloredo continued until his death in 1812 as archbishop of Salzburg, but bereft of temporal power.
He was born in Vienna, Austria, the second son of Count Rudolf Wenzel Joseph Colloredo von Wallsee und Melz (1706-1788), a high-ranking Imperial official.[2] Hieronymus was brought up in a strict religious household, and since his health did not allow him to pursue a military career, he was educated at the Theresianum Academy in Vienna, and studied philosophy at the University of Vienna and theology at the Collegium Germanicum et Hungaricum in Rome.[3]
The Prince-Archbishopric of Salzburg fell vacant in December 1771, and (with considerable pressure from the Imperial court in Vienna), Colloredo, who had been Prince-Bishop of Gurk since 1761, was elected Prince-Archbishop on 14 March 1772 on the 13th ballot. According to Clive, "it was an unpopular choice in Salzburg whose citizens remained cool to him until the end."[2] Clive continues, "he was extremely autocratic and his dictatorial attitude at times provoked the hostility of the cathedral chapter and of civic officials."[2]
During his thirty years as ruler of Salzburg, Colloredo implemented reforms similar to those carried out in the Austrian Empire under Joseph II; see Josephinism. According to Halliwell, he "was ultimately successful in his main aims, but the struggle was a perpetual one ... Colloredo had to establish like-minded people in each institution -- ecclesiastical, educational, legal, medical, fiscal, administrative and publicistic -- and persuade the reluctant populace to change its entire mentality." Halliwell adds that Colloredo "attracted European-wide admiration for his efforts."[4]
Colloredo also resembled Joseph II in moving the Roman Catholic religion within his domains in a direction similar to Protestantism. Halliwell writes: "Pilgrimages and superstitious practices were banned, processions were restricted, church decoration was limited, musical settings of the Mass were shortened and sacred German hymns introduced ... These changes led to deep resentment, and Colloredo and the architect of the pastoral letter [that implemented the policy], Johann Michael Bönike, were called 'secret Lutherans'.[4]
Colloredo was still the head of state when the Napoleonic Wars began, destabilizing political arrangements throughout Europe. On 12 December 1801, as French troops under Napoleon drew near to occupying the city, Colloredo fled Salzburg, never to return. In 1803, Salzburg was secularized, ending the rule of the Prince-Archbishop, and Colloredo resigned as head of state.[4] Salzburg was awarded instead to the Grand Duke of Tuscany, who had lost his own state in the Napoleonic upheavals. Later, Salzburg was incorporated into Austria (1805), then Bavaria (1809), then finally into Austria again (1816).[2]
Archbishop Colloredo remained the ecclesiastical head of the archdiocese (but not in residence) until his death, aged 79, at Vienna in 1812.
Colloredo is well known to history as a patron and employer of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.[4] He became exceptionally annoyed with Mozart's frequent absences. After a number of arguments, he ultimately dismissed him with the words, "Soll er doch gehen, ich brauche ihn nicht!" ("May he leave, I don't need him!") Leopold Mozart stayed in Salzburg but "continued to bemoan the failure to replace musicians who had left or died, and the consequent shambles in the court music."[4] Colloredo "sometimes played the violin in the court orchestra."[4]
Regarding personal names: Graf is a title, translated as Count, not a first or middle name. The female form is Gräfin.

Actually, I had planned to mow. All day as the mercury climbed, I thought: When it cools down a bit, I'll get those two sections done. Before it gets gelatinously humid tomorrow [because it is the weekend, and weekends do that in scenic Elsinore]….
And so I sort through papers, pay bills, prepare dinner, and wait for the sun to go back behind those trees for a bit. And I get the lawnmower ready.
And as I'm plugging in the last bit of extension cord, and rolling towards that first patch of grass, I see them.
Blink blink
BLINK blink
The fireflies were starting their show for the evening. All through the lawn I could see little yellow abdomens swaying as the beetles climbed to the tips of grassblades, some flashing, some waiting until they were airborne to flare brightly every few seconds.
On the tips of the grass — oh, bad word. I can't mow through them! It's bad enough I'm going to have to trim back the fig trees this fall and risk losing part of next years crop. I can't justify decimating this year's lightning bug population and next year's as well, just because my neighbors want the world to be manicured. There should be beauty in the evening, too.
So I mowed a section where the lightning bugs were not hovering and blinking at one another, and then went inside to share dinner with Word.
Here are two Japanese songs about lightning bugs: One focusing on the humans who watch the fireflies, the other focuses on the lightning bugs themselves [I've sung this one: in the translated lyrics is the gem: "Firefly's daddy — he has lots of dough/No wonder his rear end sparkles in the dark"]
[No, the image isn't kryptonite; it's a backlit emerald at the Smithsonian Institute]

So Long, Flip Cam! (Long Live the Flip Cam!)
A few years back, Flip Digital, the company that created the iconic Flip cam, was purchased by electronic giant Cisco. Cisco, more commonly known as specializing in networking equipment, was hoping that that the simple-to-use Flip cam could be adapted and allow users to teleconference and post video straight to their blogs.
So about a month ago, Cisco pulled the plug on the Flip camera. Why? The answer had to do with the big picture. You see, the Flip does one thing: video. Its ease of use was the main idea behind its design and software. Smartphones and tablets, on the other hand, do video as well, but they also do a million other things. Smartphones and tablets are more popular and more profitable than the uni-tasker Flip cam. Lo and behold, the powers at Cisco killed my beloved little camera.
Most of the teachers who have used them loved the Flip camera. The fact that they only did one thing was part of their appeal. You could hand them off to students on a field trip, give them to a parent, record a student reading, or any number of other activities. A smartphone does all of those things but most smartphones are ill-suited for casual school use. Alas, what we do?
Thankfully, with the loss of the largest player in the entry-level camcorder market, plenty of other options are stepping up to fill the void, such as the Kodak Playsport. This camera not only films video as well as the Flip, but is also waterproof (and therefore field-trip proof). I hope to get one soon and put it through the paces.

Scrape photo by Jerry Morrison
Wednesday, August 2, 8pm
Chapel Performance Space
4649 Sunnyside Ave N
Audiences partial to the "third stream" in music – a term coined by composer Gunther Schuller to describe the fusion of jazz sensibility into classical forms – will be excited to witness the forward-thinking, Seattle-based string orchestra, Scrape, in a concert at the pristine Chapel Performance Space on August 2. The evening features performances of original compositions by Knapp and guest composer and lyricist Toni McGowan. Scrape is also joined by vocalist Chérie Hughes singing a new piece by McGowan and special guest soloist, saxophonist Mark Taylor.
Founded by local composer, performer, and teacher Jim Knapp and composer and violinist Eyvind Kang, Scrape is a conductorless ensemble which features harp and guitar, along with traditional string sections.With its choral combination of voices and big-band approach to harmony, Scrape pairs the thematic and filmic evocativeness of a full symphony along with the suggestiveness and poetry of a chamber group. Its varied instrumentation of string textures, evoking wide emotional horizons while sustaining a surprising intimacy, has proved a welcome frame for the works of composers such as Wayne Horvitz, Bill Frisell, Jarrad Powell, and Sumi Tonooka.
Toni McGowan, a graduate of the Cornish College of the Arts, is a violinist and jazz singer in addition to composer. Her breadth of interest and variety of skills have lead her to play across the Northwest with artists including D'Vonne Lewis, Jovino Santos Neto, Randy Halberstadt, Max Holmberg, and more.
Another Washington native, Mark Taylor has been a force to reckon with on the Seattle scene and beyond. Taylor, who plays tenor, alto, and soprano sax, has joined giants such as Quincy Jones, Ernestine Anderson, and Ray Charles, but has also been a member of Matt Jorgenson +451 and the Seattle Repertory Jazz Orchestra, and has been featured by the Seattle Symphony and the Pacific Northwest Ballet. Taylor was named the 2008 Northwest Jazz Instrumentalist of the Year, and recently earned the 2016 Golden Ear Award for Northwest Concert of the Year, for his and Dawn Clement's group LineUp! featuring Julian Priester at the Ballard Jazz Festival.
"I love thoughtful composition," Taylor has stated, "but also complete freedom, stuff that has depth and pushes you out of your comfort level."
Chérie Hughes also has a remarkable performance record, and has played throughout the United States as a chamber musician. As one-half of the Pacific Duo with guitarist Roberto Limón, Hughes championed Mexican and Latin American composers in prominent concerts across Mexico. Hughes has performed, premiered, and recorded with a diverse array of classical ensembles from opera to the orations of Bach and Faure. She is currently director of vocal studies at Seattle Pacific University.
"The difference between composing and playing is a matter of speed and sociability," Scrape composer and co-founder Knapp has aptly spoken. Knapp's career has similarly veered between the conductor's chair, the composer's desk, and the bandstand. Born in Chicago, Knapp attended the University of Illinois, where he received his education in composition.
The radical artistry of Louis Armstrong, Miles Davis, Don Cherry, and others inspired Knapp, a trumpet player, to embrace the instrument of the orchestra. Moving to Seattle, Knapp developed the jazz program at Cornish College of the Arts, from where he retired earlier this year. He has served as director of The Composers and Improvisors Orchestra and has led various small jazz groups, including Scrape and the 13-piece Jim Knapp Orchestra.
Knapp was for years the program head of Jazz within the Cornish Music Department. Among his awards are a National Endowment for the Arts Jazz Composition Fellowship, a Seattle Arts Commission Individual Artist Music Composition grant, and support from Meet the Composer and Artist Trust. In November 2006, he was honored by Cornish for "35 Years of Jazz." In 2007, he was inducted into the Earshot Jazz Hall of Fame, and in 2010 received the "Certificate of Excellence in Teaching" for 2009-2010 from Cornish College of the Arts. In 2017, Knapp was awarded a special Golden Ear Award "in recognition that his forward-thinking work in jazz education has helped to shape Seattle's jazz legacy"

Tickets will be on a sliding scale of suggested donation $5-15.

The right timing for mobile marketing
I just come from yet another meeting with a major consumer retail brand that would like to explore the potential of the mobile as a new channel to communicate with their customer base. I remember an executive in one of the leading European mobile operators stating: "Within two years all major brands will have mobile presence – or they will not exist". This was about three years ago but seems today as a rather relevant statement.
There is today a general enthusiasm over mobile marketing combined with a healthy awareness regarding the limitations. The initial a bit naïve view that just doing an app will solve my needs as a brand to reach the technically advanced customers, have now matured into understanding what can be achieved but also that this is not just about doing an app.
Looking at mobile marketing successes in the past, they are mainly sms-based campaigns. But this is not a scalable approach. If we should redirect marketing spending to this type of activities then each consumer will be spammed far beyond what anyone can accept, eventually totally killing the opportunities. Will then moving from the sms-approach to the app solve the issue?
Moving into an app-approach is mainly to extend the present web marketing with a mobile extension but with some pros and cons. You then get the same issues as on the web like: how do I become visible and searchable; how to incentivise customers to return frequently to my digital shop; the need to log in to get there personal offers; etc. The mobile do except for its given limitations also bring some additional values like: the mobile is always accompanying the consumer, all offers can be reachable from the mobile when on the move as well as club memberships; you get a strong tool for viral marketing campaigns; etc. Mobile marketing has a fantastic potential but sms-campaigns and apps are not the complete solution. We need to find ways to extend the present web into the mobile and taking advantage of the unique benefits of the mobile, but without ending up in an app jungle.
Coming back to the consumer retail brand and their ambitions. What do they ask for? They want to explore the mobile as a new communication and marketing channel for their key customers. They want to be able to reach all customers irrespectively of what phones and what operator they have. They want to have simple solutions based on existing web services and functionality and that they can manage real time themselves without involving it-departments or consultants. This all sound very reasonable and is essential to get this to work. What they ask for is a Universal Mobile Interface.
Finally some general advice to those that plan to utilise mobile marketing:
- The mobile channel will not replace print and web but will act as a complement to the existing channels.
- Mobile marketing will initially attract a limited but growing segment of the customer base.
- Base the mobile solution on the present web services and do not build a separate mobile system.
- Incentivise and educate the customer base to gradually move from print to digital channels.
- The content on the site needs to be updated even more frequently on a mobile site. A "dead site" will immediately loose the attention of the consumer.
- Build in viral elements such as mobile to mobile coupon distribution.
- Choose scalable solutions that have the potential to reach and be used by the majority of the customer base.
- Start with limited pilots gaining experience and avoiding disappointing customers with immature services.

Negation has ascended into the imagination of our culture and society not necessarily as something to be scorned or regretted, but as something with which to be, in some cultural, philosophical, or even religious form, reconciled, says Dr Andrew Hass. But before we can understand how this figure might work its way into and through our present world, we need first to ask, whence 'zero'? For its history is by no means one we might expect.
It is not true that 'nothing comes out of nothing', observes Dr Andrew Hass. 'Nothing', we might say, gets bad press, and deservedly. For nothing strips away, tears down, erases. And we want a positive society. Yet there is always a substantive way to render nothing, and make it work for something. We see this even in the claim that "nothing gets bad press": differently construed, we also know that, in today's media-saturated world, no matter how negative certain press coverage might be, no publicity is bad publicity.

Love Story: Mary and Albert Pennino
Mary and Albert Pennino of Huntington celebrated 70 years of marriage this month. Mary recalls how she met her husband.
It all started in 1936. I was 13, covered with poison ivy and calamine lotion and looking forlornly out the window of my uncle's home in South Huntington. That's when I saw Al, 14, in the window of the house next door, looking just as pathetic, covered with white calamine lotion, too. We laughed.
That was the first time he was friendly to me. Previously, he always looked at me when I arrived at my uncle's and said, "Oh great, now we're gonna have bad weather."
For many years, my sister Anne and I would spend a few weeks each summer in South Huntington. I loved visiting what was then considered "the country." This was a vacation for us; my whole family worked at my father's food market on Westchester Avenue in the Bronx, including me when I was not in school. Al lived with his mother and five brothers. He worked at local farms during school breaks.
The following summer, Anne, who was six years older than me, had a date and asked me and Al to come along. They were going dancing at the Pig's Whistle in Bayville. Her date drove while Al and I sat in the back, talking about high school classes. Once there, Al and I danced together.
On our drive home, he asked me a question and as I turned to answer, he kissed me! Then he said, "Mary, I'm going to marry you." I was surprised and skeptical. "That's not you talking," I replied. "That's the moon talking. You won't even remember my name by next summer."
When I went home to the Bronx, we stayed in contact through pictures and lots of letters; he would send me newspaper articles of his feats in sports at Central and Northport high schools, from basketball to pole vaulting. I sent him a cute photo of me holding a puppy. He had it made into a color picture, which he treasured.
Occasionally, Al would drive to the Bronx, when he could afford it. When World War II broke out and gas was rationed, we realized we wouldn't see each other and decided to wed. I was 19 and he was 20 when we married on May 17, 1942.
We both got jobs with Grumman in Hicksville; I worked in the office, and Al was a mechanic and assistant foreman.
In 1948, we started a small equipment rental business; six years later, we had a store in Huntington Station. I took care of customers while Al handled the rentals and made repairs. We sold Island Rental in 1979.
We have been blessed with a wonderful son, a precious daughter-in-law, four grandchildren and six great-grandchildren. We live on a wooded property (which surprisingly has little poison ivy) and enjoy taking care of all the animals who find their way to us.
Through 70 years of marriage, we have done everything together. In June, we plan on celebrating our anniversary with family and friends at the Harbor Club in Huntington.

It seems to me that Grey squirrels are more than a little like cats – those cats that know when someone doesn't like them and purposefully seek out their laps to leap onto – or, at least, that is certainly the personality of the Grey squirrel that inhabits our garden. Let's call him Sammy.
|Sammy, our resident grey squirrel, and Bert, one of our fence-sitting pigeons
My housemate / landlady – let's call her Jane – hates him, with good reason, as the little imp nibbled all the apples and pears off her fruit trees well before they grew big enough for her to harvest but he didn't touch a single one of the plump juicy delicious apples on the neighbour's tree.
|Sammy's Uncle Jim lives in a park in Runcorn
Jane loves most wild creatures and has worked in environmental management so she runs a wildlife-friendly garden, not cutting the hedge when the birds are nesting in it, leaving little piles of branches for hedgehogs to burrow under, littering the back lawn with bread, seeds and apple cores for the birds to eat when times are lean. Trouble is, Sammy likes to pinch the birds' food as well – and he's not very smart in processing it, rather stupidly choosing to bury pieces of bread in the flower borders. Jane is not amused, neither by the waste of a good bit of bread, nor by the damage to her borders.
|Sammy's cousin George, who lives in the graveyard at Great Budworth
And just as cats are vilified for killing birds, so Grey squirrels are vilified for their adverse effect on the local environment. Though he was undoubtedly born in
Sammy's ancestors were North American immigrants. First introduced to the
British Isles in the late 1870s by local landowners who considered them
'exotic' (what were they thinking?), Sammy and his fellow American Greys have
made themselves at home throughout most of the British Isles, much to the
detriment of the native Red squirrels. Not only did Sammy's ancestors bring
with them the squirrelpox virus (SQPV), which didn't harm them but kills their
Red cousins, Sammy and his fellow Greys compete with the Reds for food. And as
the Greys have a broader food range – they're able to eat nuts with high tannin
contents, like acorns, which the Reds cannot digest – they have a better chance
of survival when winters are hard and food resources scarce. England
|Sammy's cousins Huey, Dewey & Louie scavenging under the bird feeders at Marbury Country Park
Nowadays, there are estimated to be around 2.5million Greys in
while only 10 – 15,000 Reds survive, mostly in Scotland
and the north east of .
I was lucky enough to see a couple of Reds when I was here in the England on holiday
last summer and visited the National Trust's pine woodlands at Formby, part of
the National Red Squirrel Refuge and Buffer Zone. Although their local Red population was decimated
by SQPV in 2008, numbers are once again on the increase, with help from the
local rangers and an appropriate woodland management plan. UK
|A Red at Formby pine woodlands
Luckily, there are plenty of other folks out there trying to save the Reds – and you can too, by supporting organisations like the Red Squirrel Survival Trust. Let's hope they're successful in their efforts as I'd hate to see the very cute locals overcome by the brash interlopers from across the Atlantic.
Along with the fine work being done by the RSST, there does seem to be a glimmer of hope in other quarters as well. Just last week I was reading environmentalist / activist / journalist George Monbiot's piece 'How to eradicate grey squirrels without firing a shot', in The Guardian online, championing a natural solution to the grey squirrel problem, in the form of pine martens. He cited the current situation in
where, it seems, pine
martens have the Greys in full-scale retreat across the island and the Reds are
moving in to territory abandoned by the Greys. Long may the Red repopulation
continue! Ireland
|Sammy's Aunt Jessie lives in a woodland near Hale
In the meantime, here in
, we still have
Sammy scampering through our tree branches and hippity-hopping across the back
lawn. Jane intends getting a trap and killing him but, if it were my choice, I
just couldn't do it. I do want to be environmentally friendly. I definitely
want to help save the Reds. My mind tells me it's the right thing to do but
Sammy is such a little cutie that my heart wants to forgive him the sins of his
ancestors and his kin. Cheshire
There's just something about the way he sits back on his hind legs, nibbling on the nut he's clutching in his front paws. There's something about those big doe eyes, and the way he quivers and shakes his bushy tail. And Sammy's not the only Grey in the neighbourhood. I've seen at least two others chasing each other through the trees at the end of the garden so, if Sammy goes, will those two just settle in to his vacant place?
And that's not my only question. Did pine martens ever live in this part of
Would / could pine martens survive in our semi-rural garden? Wouldn't Red squirrels
need a lot more pine trees in the area before they could be reintroduced? Wouldn't
we need a lot more woodland in general for both creatures to survive here in England ? And, if that's
true, then, in the meantime, should Sammy be allowed his particular place in
the English sun? Cheshire
For me, the issue of Grey squirrel v. Red squirrel is a conundrum and I don't know the solution. But, secretly, I will continue to enjoy Sammy's antics while I can.

There's nothing worse than getting your 2020+ Jeep Gladiator halfway up a rock face, looking back to see your friends' reactions, and seeing nothing but blue smoke. The 3.6L Pentastar is notorious for excessive amounts of blow-by entering the intake. This blow-by carries oil, fuel, and water vapor left over from combustion and too much of it causes smoking on inclines and while driving. This blow-by can also coat sensors and other intake components, reducing the performance of your engine and potentially causing knock. But Mishimoto has the solution.
Our 2020+ Jeep Gladiator 3.6L direct-fit baffled oil catch can kit protects your engine by keeping blow-by out of the intake. This allows your engine to burn only the high-quality gas that you put in the tank. Our catch can employs a series of air turbulators, a baffle, and 50-micron bronze filter to clean the blow-by of vapors before it returns to your intake.
This catch can kit is a direct fit for your Gladiator, with no cutting or other modifications required. Installation of this catch can takes less than an hour thanks to the pre-cut hoses and installed stock quick-disconnects. A custom-engineered 2.5mm steel bracket mounts our catch can to the fender rail, isolating it from engine vibration and movement for a lifetime of service.
Also included with this catch can is a drain kit. Simply remove the plug from the bottom of the catch can during installation and connect the drain kit to empty the catch can from behind the front wheel without having to open the hood. This convenient feature lets you drain the can and get out on the road or trail in minutes. The included rubber cap prevents dirt and debris from entering the valve, so you never have to worry about a clogged valve slowing you down.
Like all Mishimoto product, this 2020+ Jeep Gladiator 3.6L baffled oil catch can kit is protected by our Mishimoto Lifetime Warranty. So, whether you're climbing a treacherous rock face, exploring the wilderness, or just driving to work, you rest easy knowing your JL Gladiator's engine is protected for as long as you own it.
Mishimoto Automotive ("Mishimoto") warrants its products under this lifetime limited warranty policy ("Warranty Policy"). This Warranty Policy applies solely to: (i) Mishimoto Products purchased directly from Mishimoto or Mishimoto authorized dealers (each a "Mishimoto Product" and collectively, the "Mishimoto Products") and (ii) the original purchaser of such Mishimoto Product ("Purchaser").

Hurricane Preparation Information
With Irene threatening a large portion of the coastal United States, people will be looking to you as trusted authorities on what to do before, during, and after the storm. The National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) has developed a number of resources that can help you communicate with residents about preparing for and recovering from a hurricane.
• During a Flood: Tips to stay safe during a flood.
• After the Flood: Helpful information for residents as they return home.
• Understanding Your Flood Insurance: Talking points to help you explain what flood insurance is, as well as what is and is not covered by a flood insurance policy.
• Filing Your Flood Insurance Claim: A checklist for policyholders as they navigate the claims process.
• NFIP Summary of Coverage: An explanation to help policyholders understand their flood insurance policy.
• NFIP Flood Insurance Claims Handbook: A step-by-step guide to filing a claim.
• FloodSmart.gov Hurricane Widget: A widget you can post on your Website with an interactive quiz allowing residents to test their hurricane knowledge.
• Cost of Flooding Tool: A shareable digital resource that helps the public understand the likely costs of flooding.
FEMA's National Flood Insurance Program and the FloodSmart Campaign also offer helpful tips on what to do to prepare before a flood. We encourage you to share this information with residents of your community.
1. Safeguard your possessions.
• Create a personal flood file containing information about all your valuable possessions and keep it in a secure place, such as a safe deposit box or waterproof container. This file should include:
o A copy of your insurance policies with your agents' contact information.
o A household inventory: For insurance purposes, be sure to keep a written and visual (i.e., videotaped or photographed) record of all major household items and valuables, even those stored in basements, attics or garages. Create files that include serial numbers and store receipts for major appliances and electronics. Have jewelry and artwork appraised. These documents are critically important when filing insurance claims. For more information visit http://www.knowyourstuff.org.
o Copies of all other critical documents, including finance records or receipts of major purchases.
2. Prepare your house.
• Inspect your sump pump. If you have a sump pump, make sure it's working and then install a battery-operated backup, in case of a power failure. Installing a water alarm will also let you know if water is accumulating in your basement.
• Clear debris from gutters and downspouts.
• Anchor fuel tanks.
• Raise your electrical components (switches, sockets, circuit breakers, and wiring) at least 12 inches above your home's projected flood elevation.
• Place the furnace, water heater, washer, and dryer on cement blocks at least 12 inches above the projected flood elevation.
• Move furniture, valuables, and important documents to a safe place.
3. Develop a family emergency plan.
• Create a safety kit with drinking water, canned food, first aid, blankets, a radio, and a flashlight.
• Post emergency telephone numbers by the phone and teach your children how to dial 911.
• Plan and practice a flood evacuation route with your family. Know safe routes from home, work, and school that are on higher ground.
• Ask an out-of-state relative or friend to be your emergency family contact.
• Have a plan to protect your pets.
We also hope you are also taking this time to prepare your family and business from the potential impact of the storm.
Please email us at email@example.com with any questions about NFIP and FloodSmart.Stay safe,
Stay safe,
The FloodSmart Team

I'm not.
Got hod of a hybrid Fusion for 2 days in Miami.
Big chunk of the trunk taken by batteries.My luggage wouldn't fit.
Has nothing on my 2008 Fusion on fuel consumption: I get 12.7L/100Km here, the hybrid did 19 mpg, It's pretty much the same. Conditions where pretty much the same too, in city with good traffic, some freeway. Light on the right foot.
Didn't get used to the engine not starting when you hit the damn start/stop button - weird.
Not impressed at all.
Anyone else?

The 'golden age' of active transportation development in Vancouver continues, with ongoing expansion of the downtown bike network now reaching Drake Street.
Despite what you may hear elsewhere, Drake isn't very sexy, or even that interesting. But as the City suggests, Drake is actually essential to the concept of a complete network, because it connects where people are coming from, to where they want to go.
A fair number of people cycle beyond the protected cycling facilities on Drake Street, indicating…strong desire.
Currently, cycling volumes on Drake Street are highest between Burrard Street and Hornby Street, the only section with dedicated cycling facilities.
That "strong desire" is based on evidence of an average of 500 daily midweek bike trips in the summer, about 40% of the volume at the separated portion.
By focusing on the rest of Drake, one can infer that, not only is the ultimate goal to provide safe passage for those venturing between Burrard/Hornby and Richards, Homer, or to destinations like David Lam Park, but that more people could be drawn into downtown by bike in the first place, if only these connecting bits (like Drake) had dedicated facilities.
Here's where the City needs your input — they're seeking feedback on two different design options, plus ideas on how to support the activities of local businesses, organizations, and residents.Read more »

'American Idol' Recap: Order Restored
I can't be the only one who breathed a sigh of relief at approximately 8:56 PM Thursday night. After two straight weeks of the most troubling American Idol results since Scott Savol outlasted Constantine Maroulis during season 4, I feared we were yet again in for a surprise of Nigel's bodyguard-sized proportions. I wasn't completely wrong to be nervous — after all, the contestant who seemed doomed to leave the show weeks in a row had just enjoyed her best night since blowing us away in the Top 11 with "Power of Love."
But though Hollie Cavanagh continues to stick around like an adorable puppy you wish never followed you home after she messed up the order of your home, justice was finally served in the Idol universe. After murdering "Bold As Love" so brutally, Detectives Munch and Finn were ordered to investigate it, Elise Testone was sent directly off of Idol's couches of safety. (Do not pass go. Do not collect a recording contract and a reputation that could land you alongside Taylor Hicks.) And, unlike Colton Dixon and Jessica Sanchez's shocking bottom finishes, Elise actually deserved to leave behind CBS Television City.
Not to say it isn't a shame to see her go, especially when she started off the season with so much promise. With one of the strongest — and most relevant — voices in the competition, Elise represented the old wave of American Idol. Like many contestants of seasons past, the 28-year-old singer — the oldest in this season's batch — boasted power vocals more than originality, and was hurt by not only a willingness, but a seeming desire, to talk back to our admittedly unsound panel of judges. Even Thursday night, after Jimmy Iovine rightfully dismissed her two performances, claiming she "makes bad choices," Elise managed to increase her surly profile by telling Ryan Seacrest, "I just can't win."
Granted, it's that confidence and attitude that made Elise a fun contestant to watch — her self-assuredness often lit up the stage (that is, when she wasn't encouraged to sing clunkers like "I'm Your Baby Tonight"). But talking back to Steven Tyler, Jennifer Lopez, and Randy Jackson doesn't have the same appeal as verbally brawling with the likes of Simon Cowell amid a chorus of boos. Instead, Elise's argument with the big three often featured a backdrop of silence from the audience, making the moments as uncomfortable as a TV promo featuring a picture of a child and the word "Touch."
Viewers certainly felt uncomfortable and disconnected from the contestant — Elise flirted with elimination in the bottom three a whopping six out of eight weeks, two more times than underdog Hollie. Still, fans of the passionate Elise would find her finish behind the staid Hollie as undeserving as a terrible trip to see the horrible orange puppets at TMZ.
Still, it seems we can all rest easy, fellow Idol fans. Though Skylar was placed in the bottom three, she still has a chance to ride her ATV well into the finish. Though Phillip's illness explains his flat "Fat-Bottomed Girls," he'll still live on to be the antidote for lovesick teenage girls everywhere. And Joshua Ledet and Jessica's favor with the judges' panel has primed them to outlast Hollie, even though the Idol universe seems desperate to keep me from using my "Hollie Go-Lightly-Away" headline. One day!
But what did you think of the results, fellow Idol lovers? Did you have a "Whole Lotta Love" for Elise, or was she the right contestant to bite the dust? Does Hollie stand a chance of making it into the Top 4? Did the Top 6 film their Ford commercial on the set of How I Met Your Mother? Did you dig The Queen Extravaganza's incredible lead singer/viral video star Marc Martel, even if you found yourself wishing he was Adam Lambert? Are you, like me, ashamed to hope that Stefano Langone's single finds its way onto your radio stations and into your head like the terrible/infections "Party Rock"? And, finally, is Casey Abrams slowly transforming into a Muppet who joins Fall Out Boy?

Mad Men and X-Men: First Class co-star January Jones says she's not sure she'll be back for Bryan Singer's upcoming sequel.
Although Emma Frost was a prominent character in director Matthew Vaughn's box office hit, the actress stated that she may not return for the follow-up. According to Digital Spy, Jones hasn't received the call from producers regarding her involvement in the project.
The actress explained to Collider:
"I don't know that I'm in it, I don't think Emma's in this one. Well they haven't told me if I am (laughs). I wouldn't put it past them though, I got the scriptfor the first one on the airplane on the way there. It's called Days of Future Past I think, and I think it's more about James [McAvoy] and Michael [Fassbender] and then Patrick [Stewart] and Ian [McKellan], and I think it's gonna go back and forth with those so I don't think Emma's in those bits. I don't know, I really don't know."
While January Jones may not return as the scantily-clad Emma Frost in X-Men: Days of Future Past, a number of actors associated with the X-Men universe are reportedly set to return for Bryan Singer's upcoming superhero flick.
Total Film explains that Hugh Jackman is currently counted among those set to return for the sequel. The Les Miserables star told the website that a large number of characters are supposed to make an appearance in the flick.
Jackman said:
"You wouldn't have enough room on the page after you've listed them all. Every other actor who's ever put on a superhero uniform will be in it. There's an element of time travel and, naturally, it will be action-packed."
Director Bryan Singer's X-Men: Days of Future Past will hit theaters with or without January Jones on July 18, 2014. Are you disappointed that the actress may not return for the follow-up?

I've known this girl since high school and we just recently starting talking to each other the last few weeks. she is coming off of a break up with a good friend of mine. I let her know how I felt on new years by leaving a hidden message on her phone to alert her 2 days later in the new year. FYI she was still with her BF at this time. When I got ahold of her a few weeks ago and found out they broke up I let her know that it was me who left the message on her phone. She seemed happy finding out it was me when I told her a few weeks ago. Since we have pretty much talked everyday . She expressed a little concern of her ex and I being friends. I told her to not worry about it if I have to risk a friend to find things out between us I will. Her response oh ok;) we are only talking now tho. But I'm enjoying it ;).. I think she likes me but not 100% on what level. Really afraid of messing what this could be up. I've liked her for a long time can't mess this up!! Plz help
UnderwaterThoughtsParticipantMarch 8, 2015 at 3:29 pm #75006
It sounds like you've done this completely right, so don't over think things too much!! If it seems like her concern over you being friends with her ex is holding you two back maybe you could have a chat with him- she might be more comfortable if you guys kind of had his blessing if that makes sense? But otherwise, just be patient, she might need more time having recently come out of a relationship, but at the same time make it clear that you are serious about her so that if she doesn't feel the same way, she'll tell you.March 9, 2015 at 8:39 am #75011
I'm pretty sure she knows how serious I am.March 9, 2015 at 8:39 am #75010
That's the thing it's seems to be going the way I didn't expect it to. Just really nervous that I'm gonna say or do the wrong thing.

My family is sentimental. We like to hang on to things. I think my dad's parents—my oma and opa—instilled that in him. They came from Europe with nothing. All their keepsakes and things from childhood, pictures, even the country they were from (Yugoslavia): gone. So, I'm sure he grew up with that hang-on-to-everything you have mentality. My mom's parents, on the other hand, were children of the great depression. I remember a story about my grandma Carol's house burning down when she was a girl in Oklahoma, taking all her toys, clothes, and belongings with it. I'm sure that has something to do with my Mel's predilection for keeping things. Then Mel and John left the rural Southern California town they were from to come to Washington, and because of kids and finances and life, they don't make it back there as often as they'd like. I think this makes them sentimental for the places, people, and memories from their past.
They passed this on to me. Every time I go home, I pour over old pictures, old things from my childhood. I take Evan around the property that he's seen a million times, pointing out spots where I used to play, the tree that I used to think I'd get married under, the place where I killed the spider that Amanda never forgave me for.
My parents still have a lot of my childhood toys. Barbies in one bin, treasure trolls in another. And books. My RL Stine collection lives on—Fear Street from my middle school days, Goosebumps from elementary school. I had a lot of RL Stine books. And the picture books from when Amanda and I were little. I love looking through the books.

I love looking through the books.
Whenever I'm thinking of what to make with summer squash, I get a fleeting glimpse of a book from childhood—Squash Pie. So, when I went home last weekend, I dug out the book Squash Pie… to go along with the bounty of zucchini Mel was sending back to Seattle with me. The book (which is from the 70s and was passed down from my cousin Barb…and has Barbie, Room 8, written inside) is about an old farmer who plants summer squash because he's so stoked for squash pie. But every time the squash is just about ready to pick, someone steals it. The book doesn't actually pin it on her, but the farmer's wife is obviously the culprit. The night-thief's shadow is wearing a dress just like hers, and she's always trying to convince him to eat other kinds of pies—apple, cherry, etc—but he only wants squash pie. My favorite part is when she throws a bunch of ripe peaches on the ground, bakes them into a pie, and yells "there's your squash pie!". A real fiery lady, that farmer's wife. Anyway, I think she eventually gets fed up with his squash pie obsession, and they finally have a squash pie…which she admits is way better than all the other pies. Even the last squash pie, which just tasted like a peach pie.
I always wondered what the squash pie they had tasted like. What it looked like. I was a weird kid that way. So I brought the book back to Seattle with me, and looked up squash pie. Apparently there's a sweet pie made with summer squash—that must be what the farmer was after. I, however, was after something a little different, something savory. Mel's been trying to get me to make this rustic summer squash tart for like five years now (it's one of my dad's faves), but I was never really interested. She photocopies and sends me the recipe every summer, and every summer, it gets deleted. I guess I'm kind of like that farmer's wife, because I finally made the damn squash tart, and whadaya know, it was delicious. I changed it up quite a bit—added caramelized onions and pine nuts, used oregano instead of thyme (simply because I'm out of thyme), omitted the roasted pepper, sprinkled parm on top.
Even Evan, who claims to hate zucchini and was appalled by the idea of squash pie, loved it.
PS: I know you're all in fall-mode now: butternut squash and pumpkins and what not, but you surely have a basket of late-summer squash and tomatoes still hanging out, begging to be used before you switch over completely. And this tart, while using up the last of summer's produce, taste a bit like fall with the blue cheese and pie crust. Just make it, already.
Summer Squash & Tomato Tart
Adapted from this recipe
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
1 medium yellow onion, sliced
2 cups-ish sliced (in rounds) mixed summer squash (zucchini, yellow squash, pattypan)
2 shallots, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon(s) chopped garlic
1/4 cup toasted pine nuts
slat & pepper
Your favorite pie crust, chilled and rolled into 2 8-inch rounds
1 cup crumbled blue cheese
2 medium tomatos, sliced
1 large egg, beaten
Handful of parmesan cheese
Heat oven to 400°F.
Add olive oil and butter to heavy-bottomed skillet, and heat over medium. Add onions and cooked until caramelized (here's a good how-to for caramelized onions). Add squash and shallots and cook, for a few minutes. Remove from heat and stir in oregano, garlic, salt, and pepper to taste.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, and lay out the 2 dough rounds (you may need to bake in two batches, or just make 1 big tart). Sprinkle the blue cheese evenly over the two rounds, within 2 inches of the edge. Top with onion and squash mixture, and then with sliced tomato. Fold edge of the crust over and brush crust with beaten egg.
Bake 35 to 40 minutes until crust is golden. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese. Let cool slightly before eating (so the juices have time to settle).

One Year Later...
It's hard for me to describe what this past year has been like in terms of my life and my health and my spirit. One thing is certain: it hasn't been boring. I've been in and out of the hospital twice (which, granted, doesn't seem like much, although to be fair both times were super annoying), I've had a lot of bronchs, a lot of clinic visits, a lot of IVs. A lot of stuff that, to be honest, I wasn't really expecting out of life immediately post-transplant. And it's been hard. It was hard to lose a friend while stuck in the hospital and unsure if I would even make it to her services. It was hard to make myself chuckle when my homecare nurse joked that she'd never seen anyone on so many IVs post-transplant. It was hard to deal with not understanding my new transplant body and making what I'm sure were pretty rookie mistakes. It was hard hearing the words "rejection" and it was hard to change my eating habits and hard to have to watch my family scramble to rearrange their schedules at the whims of my doctors so that they could be there for important appointments or procedures. All of that was -- and continues to be -- really, really hard sometimes.
The difference is that now when there's pain, I can breathe through it. When I feel stuck I can take a deep breath to steady myself before moving forward. When things get too frustrating now I can let out a long, dramatic sigh. When I break down and start crying about the IVs or the medicines or the sleepless nights or whatever I decide is my complaint du jour, I have lungs that will sob right along with me without forcing me to break for a coughing fit. And when I finally come around to a place where I can laugh about it all -- or when I realize that despite the madness I'm actually still doing okay, still living, still blessed, still Piper -- well, I have lungs now that will let me laugh for hours if I want to.
So I'm getting my new port placed. And I'm going to have another bronch next week. I'm going to get sinus surgery. I'm probably going to go back on IVs sometime fairly soon after I stop them this Friday, if only as a preventative measure before and after the surgery. I'm going to take every single pill, shot, antibiotic, and sinus rinse they tell me to take. I'm going to keep rearranging my life to fit the needs of my body. I'm probably even going to keep asking for help. I'll be the first to admit that I'm not going to do any of these things happily (I can think of a lot of things I'd rather be doing, starting with swimming with sharks and moving on to making close friends with the rather large cockroach my dog attempted to eat off the street today), but I can promise that I will do them.
And I promise to try and treasure every single sigh of frustration along the way for the nearly perfect gift that it is.

Never, ever, read the comments!
It's my cardinal rule, sad but true--never, EVER, read the comments. Have you ever noticed that all the crazies, especially on Yahoo News, expose their lunacy in the comment section?
I tell myself 'don't even look; it's not worth the pain.' Yet, I broke my own rule yesterday. I thought it was safe when I clicked a beloved facebook page's comment section. The post was about teacher solidarity after all. I was sure the comments would be a rallying cry for educators, students and the community supporting the striking teachers in Seattle.
Enter Jeff's comments:
Punched in the gut. Wow! Are there people who truly still believe teachers are mere servants, sans the prefix public, who think "striking is a great way to avoid the struggle ...Your strike is taking up police resources. Hope the kids who are at home unsupervised don't need any assistance from police."
REALLY, Jeff!
How much you wanna bet Mr. Jeff has never volunteered in a school to see some of the hardest working professionals in action: teaching, learning, consoling, grading, meeting, healing, hugging, loving, scolding, etc.
How much you wanna bet Mr. Jeff doesn't have teacher friends who always have to cancel dinner dates or decline party invites because they have too much work to do: always work.
How much you wanna bet Mr. Jeff can remember at least one of his teachers who inspired him through words or actions: real heroes.
SERIOUSLY, Jeff!
Like many of the comment section regulars, he must live in an alternate reality. He does not understand the breadth of our work or our current educational challenges, but he thinks he gets it and that's dangerous.
POOR, Jeff!
I wish everyone was a supporter of education or educated themselves before they espoused erroneous beliefs, but alas all I can do is affect my little world and hopefully teach my students to be thinkers unlike poor Jeff.
Comments welcomed here:)

I'm not sure when or how teach became so underrated. It's a sad time for education.

Faith communities and their leaders need help navigating the changing landscape of communication in America today. What's the latest social media trend? Will it last? How do I use YouTube? Should I podcast or not? What does it all mean?
Some pastors blog, and use Facebook and Twitter extensively, while others avoid the Internet out of caution for the unintended complications that sometimes accompany social media—like the post-worship parking lot gossip that used to dissipate by noon, but now zips through cyber-space for weeks! Some pastors would rather rely on print newsletters to keep people informed, while others are tweeting prayer requests to ever-larger circles. Is it all for better or for worse?
There is no consensus about how to—or whether to—use new digital tools for communication in the church. But everyone is talking about it. Social media workshops populate church meetings. Website templates are cheap and easy to use. Today, a church without a website is as invisible as a church without a yellow pages listing was 20 years ago. Pastors must have some technological savvy to be effective. And they are getting it, thanks to high quality offerings across the country. (For example, see Insights into Religion:Technology Resources.)
But we don't think that's enough.
At the New Media Project we think religious leaders need more than primers in building websites and using social media. We believe that leaders of faith communities also need a larger interpretive framework for recognizing and evaluating what's happening in communication today. Even though this major shift in patterns and tools of communication will have a lasting effect on the church, compelling theological interpretations of the shift have not yet been adequately developed. Nor do sufficient strategic frameworks yet exist to help faith communities move forward using technology in theologically responsible ways.
In short, we want to help religious leaders be theologically savvy about technology.
The New Media Project was founded at Union Theological Seminary in the City of New York in 2010 as a two-year research oriented project involving research fellows who conducted case studies; wrote theological reflection essays; and commented regularly via blog posts. You can access most of this from the Findings tab. The videos from the February 8, 2013 conference, Digital Church: Theology and New Media also give an excellent overview of the worl.
The project is generously supported by a grant from Lilly Endowment Inc. In 2012, the project began a second phase and moved to Christian Theological Seminary in Indianapolis, Indiana to become part of the Center for Pastoral Excellence.
Our purpose is to help the church interpret theologically the massive changes in communication and technology occurring today, and to create a constructive framework to help pastors and religious leaders employ new digital media in ways that strengthen faith communities. Read the blog posts and our theological essays for more of our hunches and ideas about all of this.
We hope you will join us in this endeavor. Become part of the community talking about these issues. Share your thoughts and insights, questions and ponderings through comments on pages and blog posts. Join our Facebook page or Twitter feed.

Becca and Tom said "I do" in a sweet and intimate ceremony at the Edgar Allan Poe Museum in Richmond, Virginia followed by a brunch reception at The Old City Bar. Photographer Erin Forehand Photography tells us the phrase she heard most the entire day was, "They are amazing people!"
Almost every detail was handmade by Becca herself, from the pinwheels to the moss covered letter B to the mix and match vases on picture frames for centerpieces. And with just one look at this beautiful affair, it's easy to see all the time and love that was put into this incredible day!
