Ramanan Thiagarajah started toying with Hondas during his freshman year at UCLA. He had a B18C GS-R-powered Civic in 1995 and started competing in the Battle of the Imports and other left coast events of the day. He says he was the first to hit an official naturally aspirated 12-second e.t. at LACR and won that title twice at the Battle of the Imports. Ramanan graduated from UCLA and bought a 1998 Prelude that he subsequently turbocharged. After that he stepped up to the flagship-an NSX. Then came the Acura CL Type-S, but did this deaden his nerve to boost? No.
The CL Type-S is one of those undecided cars. Acura seemed like it couldn't figure out if the CL was a luxury car or a sports car. There were enough attributes of each side of the argument for justification of said argument. Concentrating on the sporty side of the ledger we see a seductive six-speed manual gearbox, healthy 3.2-liter aluminum V6 rated at 260 hp from the factory, the VTEC effect, a limited-slip differential and 17-inch rolling stock.
Ramanan bought his 2003 CL Type-S six-speed in August of 2002 and reports the car was pretty darn underpowered so he started putting together a turbo kit in December of 2002. "I pieced together all the required components but did not put too much thought into what I chose specifically," says Ramanan. "The turbo was a Turbonetics T3/T4 S-trim which I purchased off-the-shelf along with a TiAL 35mm wastegate and a Blitz blow-off valve. On the fuel-side, I only had a Comptech FPR (rising-rate) and a Walbro in-tank pump. My intercooler was a Spearco core, which was decent I suppose. I contacted Steve Brown who used to work for Elite Motorsports (they don't exist anymore) and contracted him to fabricate the manifold. It was a one-off and his first attempt was pretty good. At this point the car made 345 whp at around 6 psi. I did have a few problems... (1) No way of tuning for fuel and timing. (2) Hondata was not willing to do anything for me either. (3) E-manage was not proven. (4) AEM EMS was overkill. Anyways, I wanted to run the car and ran a 12.9 at 111.87 on DOT tires at Bakersfield. I sold that kit and decided to pursue an N/A path."
This motor has potential, so I got Extrude-honed and ported the intake manifold and got a custom 75mm throttlebody made. Along with UR pulleys, I also purchased the Comptech clutch/flywheel combination from Pit Crew Motorsports, where I got many of the components for the transformation. This package allowed me to run a 13.57 at 102.65 using slicks, naturally aspirated without any weight reduction. After working through some driveline issues I was still stuck with a CL-S probably making about 255whp (around 300 at the crank). I then ran into a friend, Steve Lewis, who is a design engineer at Garrett. Ironically he also owns a six-speed CL-S. Given the resources available at Garrett and my experience having already put together a turbo kit for this car, we set out on a no-holds barred project to make a pretty crazy CL."
Steve ran simulations to identify the optimal turbo compressor and turbine housing sizes. Simulations on several intercooler configurations were also conducted to determine optimal airflow and charge-cooling capability. "I had just finished reading Corky Bell's famous book on designing turbochargers, "Maximum Boost" and was now full of ideas," says Ramanan. "I contacted Steve Brown once again and we set off fabricating another manifold with a little more engineering thought... yet still practical.
By this time a fellow acura-cl.com member had successfully integrated a GReddy E-manage with the CL, so engine management now became very easy. To help curb cylinder temps and hot-spots that might cause pre-ignition, we swapped in Mugen thermostats and the Mugen fan switch which drop EGT by 10-12 degrees. This is a 10.5:1 compression motor, so given California's awful 91-octane gas, detonation is always imminent!"
Manifold design became more critical and more thought went into fabricating the merge-collector (from both cylinder head exhausts) and how to increase exhaust velocity feeding the turbo. During development, runner length was sufficient to eliminate any pulsing that might occur which would cause a flow impediment leading to high EGT, backpressure and detonation. Ramanan and Steve also decided to fit in the largest downpipe possible, which turned out to be a three-incher that tapers down to 2 3/4 inches going back toward the catalytic converter. This set-up was used on Ramanan's car while Steve's car received a 2 3/4-inch downpipe that reduced to a to 2.5-inch pipe because the big-pipe setup was a very tight fit.
"I tuned the car using a TechEdge wideband O2 unit and experience," says Ramanan. Initial tuning was performed on the street but when things got serious it was time to hit the dyno. Ramanan dialed in three degrees of retard applied at 5-6 psi to curb detonation due the poor 91-octane fuel and the engine's 10.5:1 compression. On the rollers, the new setup delivered the good -419.3 whp and 362.1 lb-ft of torque an improvement of 73.4-whp compared to the old kit at pretty much an identical boost level (6.2 psi).
Ramanan estimates replicating the setup would run between $6,000 and $7,000, installed, depending on the type of turbo you pick. Boosting an auto-shifted Cl would be trickier due to a lack of space for piping but still doable. On newer Accords and TLs the integration of the cat into the exhaust manifold would be a hurdle. But according to Ramanan, "boost will find a way."
Looking in the ol' crystal ball Ramanan foresees the addition of a 750cc secondary injector, which will allow the system to support around 8.0 psi. The power goal is 460-470 whp on 100-octane fuel.
Ramanan quietly confessed that the CL more than feels fast, "It's crazy fast and capable of putting a few car lengths on a 996 TT, Ferrari Modena 360 etc. At 470 whp who knows!?! I had to purchase a set of Yokohama ES100s which are way better than the stock Michelins but even the Yokos still granulate under full throttle." This is one sleeper that will be the nightmare of many an exotic.

The primary goal of Data.Gov is to improve access to Federal data and expand creative use of those data beyond the walls of government by encouraging innovative ideas (e.g., web applications). Data.gov strives to make government more transparent and is committed to creating an unprecedented level of openness in Government. The openness derived from Data.gov will strengthen the Nation's democracy and promote efficiency and effectiveness in Government."I hope the data reported will be impartially selected, honestly gathered, clearly explained, and perfectly accurate. Perhaps they could start with inspiration from the Concord Coalition's National Debt Counter.

No one has ever cited an example of a government that taxed, borrowed and spent its way to prosperity. Yet President Barack Obama continues to impose discredited economic theories and practices on an accelerated and gargantuan scale hoping to change the outcomes.
One definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
More troubling is the president's notion that government is the only solution to every problem. After Katrina, New Orleans mayor Ray Nagin announced 314 public rebuilding projects. Over two and a half years later, just six were completed. Wal-Mart on the other hand, had 110 of 126 damaged stores up and running within ten days.
In the 1980s, New York City spent $12 million dollars and could not get the Wollman Skating Rink built in six years. Donald Trump spent $2.25 million dollars of his own money and built it in six months.
In April of this year, an access road to Hawaii's Kauai Island State Park was damaged due to flooding. The government estimated the repair to take two years at a cost of $4 million dollars. The business owners and residents completed the repair in eight days for free.
Our engine of prosperity has always been free men creating, producing, and supplying our needs in a free market economy protected by the Constitution. The government produces nothing; it only redistributes what it has taken from those who do.
Ever wonder what will happen when the engine of prosperity stops and there's nothing left to take? Atlas will shrug.

Wendy Davis's media troubles
Some members of the Texas media corps are having a tough time with Democratic Texas gubernatorial candidate Wendy Davis. A scalding column published Friday by the editor of the liberal newspaper the Texas Observer calls the Davis press operation "a media fail."
Editor Dave Mann details the missteps the campaign has taken with the press over the past months. From the minor, like sending reporters to the wrong address, to the major, like barring all but one outlet from attending a speech, Mann says her team's mismanagement of the press is damaging her candidacy.
Mann also links to other stories from other outlets detailing the same troubles they've faced in covering Davis. A Davis press aide asked The Monitor in November to retract a headline based off comments made during a public media briefing after an event that had more than its fair share of awkward moments. A reporter for the Austin-American Statesman detailed his ordeal with the campaign last week over a scheduled interview which was ultimately canceled, then seemingly given to someone else.
"Now I was beginning to feel like some poor schlub who is all dressed up for some important event, standing on the curb on a wet day when some SUV drives by through a big puddle and splatters mud all over me," Statesman reporter Jonathan Tilove wrote. "And then, before I've fully absorbed what just happened, the SUV has backed up and splashed me again."
Mann writes that the campaign's response to a Dallas Morning News story that raised questions about her biography have been "slow and weak." Worse, when Davis did finally give a formal response, it was 11 days after the story broke and on the same night of the State of the Union. And, only the Texas Tribune was allowed into the event in order to livestream it. Mann notes that the Davis campaign "almost certainly robbed the speech of wider media exposure by barring TV stations and major daily newspaper reporters."
These Davis stories remind us of another rocky media rollout: Former Wyoming senate candidate Liz Cheney, who had a hard time getting on the right foot with the Wyoming press corps as we chronicled in November. Clearly the circumstances are very different, but the possible pitfalls are the same.
"I don't know whether the press strategy of the Davis campaign is of her own choosing, or whether she is being cocooned by an overprotective staff," Tilove wrote on Friday. "If it's the latter, perhaps it's time for Davis' supporters outside her campaign organization to raise the cry, "'Free Wendy!'"
Bo Delp, the Davis campaign's communications director, said in an email that the campaign will be long and hard-fought and that the media won't always like them.
"We're going to continue to focus on the priorities of Texas families: improving our schools, creating jobs, and taking care of our veterans when they come home from fighting overseas," Delp said. "Wendy Davis will be the next Governor of Texas, and this is going to be a long, hard-fought campaign -- sometimes the media will like us, and sometimes they won't."

You may not know him by name, but chances are you know Rick Stevens' signature song: "You're Still a Young Man."
The former Tower of Power lead singer is back in the Bay Area music scene after being locked up for almost 40 years on murder charges.
In an interview with NBC Bay Area as a free man, Stevens said incarceration changed him physically, spiritually, emotionally and mentally.
"I had to go to prison in order to grow up," he said, now at the age of 73.
Stevens was recruited by the Oakland-based group, Tower of Power, in 1969, and "You're Still a Young Man" - first sung by Stevens - was just one of their many hits, including "What is Hip?" and "Soul With a Capital S."
Stevens' career took a turn for the worse when his drug addiction got the best of him. Without dwelling too much on the past, Stevens said: "It was quite a few drug deals that went bad."
The part "that went bad" ended in a 1976 triple slaying, where he was convicted for playing the role of triggerman. He killed three drug dealers in a situation he now describes as one that was "life and death."
According to his own biography, Stevens said the dealers threatened to kill him and harm his family; they severely beat one of his friends. Stevens said on his website that one of the dealers tried to grab his gun and turn it toward him. In the struggle, the gun went off and the dealer was killed. Fearing for his life, Stevens said he killed two more dealers. He was convicted of manslaughter for the first shooting, and first degree murder for the other two shootings.
In 1976, Stevens was sentenced to death. But, in 1977, the California Supreme Court declared the mandatory death penalty unconstitutional. It's a move that Stevens said granted him a "new life."
While he spent time in several prisons throughout California, Stevens spent most of his 36 years behind bars in Mule Creek State Prison in Amador County. He says his fame and musical talents helped get him through. His singing also seemed to transcend racial and cultural prison barriers.
"I don't care if they were Chicanos, Black, Asian, or Caucasian," he said. "Everybody just gave me the respect."
On July 16, 2012, Stevens' parole papers were signed and after more than three decades, he walked out of prison into the free world.
Soon after being released, Stevens reunited with Tower of Power in a single performance at Yoshi's in Oakland on Jan. 31. He's now performing with various bands at venues throughout the Bay Area.
Stevens is performing Friday at 8 p.m. at Slim's in San Francisco as a special guest. For more information, click here.

"You'd have to ask [Beyonce] what she's learned from me, but what I've learned from her is the same thing I've learned from Mike," Jay-Z told Miami's WEDR 99 Jamz last week (referencing the late King of Pop), when asked what he and Beyonce have learned from each other's success. "And I know it's blasphemy to compare the two because Mike was such an innovator, but I think she's like, the second coming."
Jay-Z said his superstar wife deserves the MJ comparison due to her fierce commitment to putting on the best show possible for her millions of fans.

"The hard work and dedication that she puts into her shows — it just makes you want to work harder at your craft," he said. "She's like a machine."
As previously reported on AccessHollywood.com, Beyonce, who turns 30 on September 4, had originally proclaimed she'd liked to have a child by the time she hit the three-decade mark.
However, the "Run the World" singer recently told Access she's pushing her motherhood goal back for now.

"Forty, that's a good one," Beyonce told Access of her revised baby plan in a new interview on the set of her music video for her latest hit, "Best Thing I Never Had," last month. "Before I hit the age of 40, I'd love to have some children. I would love to direct, continue to learn videos and maybe by then a film, a short film… I love documentaries.
"I just hope that I'm happy and into my children and well-adjusted and still making music, if that makes me happy at that time," she added.

How about, most desirable for me, is there something to move back and forth a word at a time?
I realize that I can do these things in emacs, or with an alternate set of keys in vi, but that's not what I am interested in.

Recipe for Soy-Grilled Shrimp and Asian Veggies
There are a number of veggies that could be used in this besides the ones I tried. I was planning to add mushrooms, and possibly a yellow pepper from the garden, but I was afraid it would be too much for the pan. Other things that might be good include asparagus, green beans, zucchini, yellow summer squash, or broccoli.
Soy-Grilled Shrimp with Asian Veggies
(2 servings, recipe by Kalyn with inspiration from A Veggie Venture)
Marinade Ingredients:
1/4 cup peanut oil
1 T soy sauce (I use Kikkoman)
1 T fresh lime juice
1 tsp. garlic puree (sometimes called ground garlic in Asian stores)
1 tsp. ginger puree (sometimes called ground ginger in Asian stores)
(a bit of red pepper flakes would be good in this)
2-3 medium sized carrots, cut in half lengthwise, then cut in diagonal slices
2 cups snow peas, washed
1 sweet onion, cut in same size pieces as snow peas
4-6 shrimp per person, depending on size (I used frozen shrimp, peeled, deveined, and tail removed)
salt, pepper to taste
Preheat grill to medium-high and put grill pan on the grate directly over burner. Drain veggies, then add to grill pan, keeping a spray bottle handy in case flames shoot up from the oil in the marinade. Grill veggies 10-15 minutes, stirring constantly, until carrots are starting to soften, and other veggies are getting slightly browned on the edges.
This would be a perfect recipe for any phase of the South Beach Diet. For phase one, serve it with a salad such as Mary's Perfect Salad or Wake Up Your Mouth Thai Cucumber Salad. For phase two or three, add something like Brown Rice with Cashews and Herbs or Curried Rice and Red Lentils.

Last week, I noted that SepiaCamera had obtained a well-deserved price-upgrade: it is now free! The same developer, Takayuki Fukatsu, has had recent trouble with Apple's approval process as his upgraded QuadCamera, a popular photographer's tool was rejected for use with OS 3.0. Fortunately, that restriction has been lifted and the app can now be downloaded for 99 cents.

Day 39: Wonder Woman
Wonder Woman is a fictional character, a DC Comics superheroine created by William Moulton Marston and one of the three characters to be continuously published by DC Comics since the company's inception in 1944. Wonder Woman first appeared in All Star Comics #8, published in December 1941. She is a founding member of the Justice League.
In addition to comic books, the character has been in the media such as the famous 1975 to 1979 television adaptation starring Lynda Carter, as well as in animation like the Super Friends and Justice League animated series, including the recent Justice League: The New Frontier animated movie.

Looking back, I realized I haven't been doing much female characters, so this one's for the ladies and girls out there.
Somehow it turned out looking a little primitive, but I guess that's the charm of it!

I'd like to make a suggestion. Can you mirror the arms along a common axis so that they can be folded along that axis to have colors on both sides? Right now the arms are colored on one side only. Thanks!

Hi Bill,
Thanks for the suggestion. I'll take that into consideration for future models.

Homecoming and Reunion 2009 was a big success with over 500 alumni in attendance. We welcomed alumni from every decade beginning in the 1930's to the present and they traveled from Alabama, New York, California, Texas, Georgia, and New Hampshire to celebrate their honored class reunions!
The weekend began with campus bus tours for alumni. Immediately following the bus tours, the annual Alumni & Friends Reception was held in the Hyland Performance Arena. More than 150 alumni, friends, professors emeriti, faculty, and staff attended the event, which always serves as a memorable kick-off for the weekend's festivities.
An estimated 125 alumni, students, and parents on Saturday morning joined President James D. Evans for breakfast. Immediately following the breakfast, alumni gathered for the annual Alumni Association meeting.
Alumni, students, parents, and townspeople lined the streets of the Lindenwood campus for the 2nd annual Homecoming & Reunion Parade later that morning. The parade was led by Grand Marshals Professor Groff Bittner and his wife, Fern Palmer ('57) Bittner, who was in charge of the equestrian program at Lindenwood for many years. President Evans and his wife, Lois, along with members of the Homecoming Court, were chauffeured in luxury cars that were generously donated by Plaza Motors in St. Louis.
More than 10 student organizations participated by preparing floats that embodied the homecoming theme of different decades of history. The floats were judged by St. Charles Alumni Club members, and the winning student group was awarded a cash prize by the Club for their efforts. The first place winner was A Cross Between; second place, American Humanics/APO PHI Lambda PHI and YMCA; and third place was The Vine-Catholic Student Union.
Following the parade, alumni and friends visited their former residence halls during student-led campus tours. Many of the alums from earlier decades were surprised and pleased to see how much of Lindenwood's historic campus remains well cared for.
Alumni, students, and parents joined in on tailgating festivities at the barbecue luncheon in the parking lot of Harmon Hall. Guests enjoyed live entertainment and an afternoon of good food and conversation.
After lunch, the Lions took defeated Baker 52-30. Some 250 alumni packed the VIP seats at Hunter Stadium to cheer LU on to victory!
After the game, alumni and friends gathered in the Memorial Arts Building for the rededication of Goodall Parlor. The beautifully renovated rooms and painting of Arthur S. Goodall was on display. Following the parlor rededication, 75 alumni, friends and supporters gathered in the lobby of the J. Scheidegger Center to honor Professor Groff Bittner for his 50 years of service and dedication to Lindenwood, and to his students. A 7-foot Steinway grand piano was dedicated in his honor.
On Saturday night, alumni and friends attended the Athletic Hall of Fame dinner where several Lindenwood alumni, faculty and former coaches were inducted into the 2009 class.
Mark your calendars and join us for next years Reunion on October 15-16, 2010!

Paelleall's Summoner Ability reads (emphasis mine):
Wrath of the Volcano
At the beginning of your turn, choose the shortest path from your current tile to the Dungeon Entrance tile. All other heroes within that path receive one wound marker. If multiple paths exist, choose 1.
Clearly her ability should affect heroes that share a dungeon tile with her, or they wouldn't have noted "All other heroes." Does reasoning follow that heroes on the Dungeon Entrance would be wounded as well?
Is this path inclusive of the start and end point?

6. The Grand Canyon (the South Rim):
I can hear the howls already. How can I, a blogger who spent literally months extolling the wonders of the Grand Canyon and other parts of the Colorado Plateau put the incredible gorge on a list of overrated places? Well, there's a subtle distinction here: I define it as the rim. If you take a tour of the canyon, say with a bus company, or heavens forbid, a geology class, you could conceivably end up driving from one road pullout to another. Amidst the diesel fumes and crowds of tourists, you walk the short distance to the rim, snap a series of wonderfully well-planned and executed digital photos and video panoramas, get back in the vehicle and go to the next overlook, and think to yourself "I took this picture and this video at the last overlook". Yeah, it's colorful and all, and looks pretty deep, but after about four of those stops, you are starting to think about the coffee at Bright Angel Lodge.
Need more evidence? Think about what happens when you offer to show your pictures to your friends? The hemming and hawing...
What's the problem? We are so geared to looking at scenery in only two dimensions, such as on a television or computer monitor, that we end up being isolated from the full width and depth of the canyon. We have no perspective (as I put it in a previous post, "The vastness of the scene has been shrunk to a single image in the back of my eye, and my ego makes me much larger in relation to the canyon in front of me"). We are spectators set apart from the geography, and have no sense of scale with which to compare the panorama we gaze at. Truth be told, the Spaniards who "discovered" the canyon in the 1500's had the same problem: they thought the gorge only a few thousand feet deep, and the Colorado River only six feet across.
How to solve this problem and turn the Grand Canyon into the stunning place it actually is? One thing you can do is what the Spaniards did: try climbing in. It took almost no time for them to realize they were in a truly huge hole, an unprecedented gash cut through the earth's crust. It doesn't take much, a few hundred yards, maybe to base of the Kaibab Limestone. When you've walked through one layer, you start to appreciate that there are many such layers in the canyon, and your mind will start to provide the scale you need.
I said "ten" didn't I? Yeah, there are ten, but this took longer than I thought. More soon!

Time management, time scheduling, task management – we can name it in many ways. Probably everyone has struggled and dealt with it in some capacity in either their professional or personal life. Effective planning of work and time is an issue many of us have trouble with. All of us experience the same amount of hours in a day. The difference between those of us who are using our time efficiently and those of us who are not is how each of us prioritizes and manages it. For many of us, on Sunday evening, we plan out our entire workweek, only to find that on Friday afternoon we have an incredible amount of unfulfilled tasks. It's time to start planning effectively. And we will advise you how.
The beginning of effective planning is the ability to give priority to tasks and schedule the tasks for the entire week ahead. Select 4 to 6 tasks that you must handle, whether it is a finishing of seminar work at your MBA or checking work e-mails, and give them the highest priority. Begin to think and focus on what matters the most. Plan your time in a way to be able to concentrate on the most important tasks at the beginning of the week, and by the end of the week, you will open up other things to take care of or have free time.
Start your day with the most important task. It's important to live by the saying 'first work, then play.' Once you have the most difficult tasks of the day finished, you'll enjoy the rest of the day a lot more. Thus, do not worry about the irrelevant mini-tasks, which distract your attention.
Procrastination is an unpleasant quality. It is a strong tendency to postpone the duties and tasks (especially the difficult ones) to a later time. It can result in stress, guilt, loss of productivity and it even presents a risk to your mental health.
So forget about procrastination. Once you learn how to do things in order while studying, you will also use it at work. For example, an MBA program is time-consuming for writing seminar papers and passing e-learning exams. Therefore it is important to plan when and in what time frame you will write the seminar paper or take the test, and to keep to it as well.
Set deadlines for all tasks. You can then concentrate better and are more productive.

Will she?
B's been criticised this week for stealing all the lights at the Super Bowl and not being Madonna enough or being too into herself or showing off too much skin or cockblocking the girls of Destiny's Child and, of course, not wanting to look ugly so...
I mean...
She could decide to turn down her Beyonce for the Grammys on Sunday. She could.
But then again, remember when she "tried" not to be the centre of attention at the President's Inauguration and ended up being the top story?
Here's how I hope Beyonce takes over the Grammys. If there's ever a moment when Chris Brown has to be on stage, let them cut to Beysus sitting beside Miranda Lambert, taking selfies. It would never happen, but we can hope.
Having said that, maybe her silence on it is exactly the right shade to be throwing over there. Unlike the Justin Biebers and the Taylor Swifts, unlike so many in the recording industry with impressionable fanbases who've openly supported Chris Brown, Beyonce and Jay-Z behave as though he doesn't exist. Chris Brown is essentially ignored by the Zeus and Hera of his universe. Please. Continue.

Former Googler and now Yahoo chief Marissa Mayer may be requiring employees to have an iPhone.
That's the report that came on Tuesday after Mayer met with employees and found that many had a company BlackBerry and then either an Android or iPhone for personal use, according to Business Insider. While the Insider decided to focus on the fact that Mayer has an iPhone and would buy Yahoo employees iPhone 5s, AllThingsD was less positive about the Apple device.
Because, according to sources, Mayer declared in a recent exec staff meeting that iPhones (and also Android devices) for all was a distinct possibility. . . . It's bound to be a pricey move — like her recent declaration of free food for staffers at its Sunnyvale HQ and elsewhere — but it sure will be popular.
U.S. & World
Certainly it will be popular! How can free food and a free iPhone (or Samsung's Galaxy S III) not make employees happy? Right now Mayer is looking great for the employees --- who were forced to use a fossil like BlackBerry and pay for cafeteria food. The real test is to see how they like her in a year.

Our friend, Liz Owens, wrote this absolutely perfect email, that we would like to share.
A baby's first birthday is as much a celebration of the little person as it is for their family. Our friends, Adam & Jamie, started their daughter's first year journey much earlier than they anticipated. Jamie went into labor when she was 28 weeks pregnant. From that point on, she was stationed at Children's Hospital in St. Paul. Their littlest lady arrived two weeks later. When Violet was born, she weighed 3 pounds, 4.55 ounces and was 16 inches long.
I've attached one of Violet's 2-week photos in her dad's arms. You can't help but notice Adam's wedding band. Amazing, isn't it?
A combination of answered prayers and the expertise of the NICU doctors and nurses resulted in their baby's homecoming less than seven weeks after her birthday!
And now? She's an almost one-year-old! A sweet little sister to Sylvia, who crawls, pulls herself up, and she even sports a mohawk barometer (when she's happy, you can tell!)!
Every year, the neonatal services unit at Children's Hospital hosts a 3K walk to reunite the kids with the NICU staff and to raise money for this incredible facility. Coincidentally, the event lands on Violet's birthday week-end! We are thrilled to be a part of Team Violet and would appreciate your fundraising support as we celebrate her and her family!
Some additional fun pictures of Violet...

Rasmalai is the favorite sweet for many people and rightly so because it tastes super awesome. There are very few sweets that can match the delightful sweetness of rasmalai. If you are planning to make your own, here's how to cook homemade melt-in-the-mouth rasmalai with this easy recipe.
First, let us list out the ingredients. There are two preparations in rasmalai, one is the rasmalai balls and the other is the sweet milk syrup (ras).
Ingredients for rasmalai balls
- Niryas full cream milk
- Lemon juice or vinegar
- Corn flour
- Water
- Sugar
Ingredients for sweet milk syrup (ras)
- Niryas full cream milk
- Cardamom powder
- Saffron
- Sugar
- Pistachios (finely chopped)
To save time, you can prepare both components simultaneously. Let's start with the rasmalai balls first.
Steps for making rasmalai balls
Make chena: Boil Niryas full cream milk and let it cool down a bit. Add around a teaspoon of lemon juice or vinegar to curdle the milk. Do not add lemon/vinegar in boiling milk, as it will cause the chena to become hard. Stir gently and wait till chena separates from the water. Drain access water and let the chena rest for a while. Some moisture has to be left in the chena or else it will become hard. When you hold the chena in your hand, it should be soft to touch and not feel dry.
Mash chena thoroughly: You need to add one or two spoons of corn flour to the chena to achieve the desired binding. Next, mash the chena thoroughly for around 10 minutes till it becomes soft and pliable. This step is necessary to properly mix the fat and protein present in the chena. After this, make balls from the chena. The size can be as per your liking.
Boil the rasmalai balls: In a wide pan, take 4 parts water and 1 part sugar and let the mixture come to boil. Now drop the chena balls in the sugar syrup, where they need to be cooked for 15-20 minutes. In case you think the syrup is getting thick, you can add some water. After they cool down, you can squeeze the chena balls gently to give them the desired flat shape of rasmalai.
Steps for making ras
Boil milk: Add Niryas full cream milk to a pan and let it boil. Let it simmer for a little longer until a thick consistency is achieved. Keep stirring the milk so that lumps are not formed.
Add saffron: After the milk has cooled down a bit, add some saffron, sugar (as per your taste), powdered cardamom, and pistachios. While the milk is still warm, add the rasmalai balls.
Refrigerate overnight: It takes some time for the rasmalai balls to become soft. To achieve this, you have to refrigerate the rasmalai overnight.
The next day, your melt-in-the-mouth rasmalai will be ready. Serve it chilled and you shall definitely receive the praise and admiration of your loved ones. Rasmalai made using Niryas milk is not only tastier, but also healthy because you are sure about the quality of ingredients you are using.
