We said an official bye to gloomy weather and chilly winds this weekend. Well, this was my last chance and a very good reason to make vegetarian chili and to go with it, my favorite cheese and herb pop overs. The weather system here is so erratic and canny; You have the heater running until last night and this afternoon you got to switch on the AC to overcome the dry heat! With out wasting much time, here is the recipe:-
Sending this recipe to MLLA-23 hosted by my lovely friend Susan.
Adapted from Rachel Ray.
Vegetarian Chili:-
1.5 cups of 3 bean mix (I used kidney beans, black beans and small red beans)
2 cups of water
1 can of fire roasted diced tomatoes
1 fresh tomato pureed with 1 large pod of garlic (or 2 normal sized pods)
1 medium sized red onion chopped finely
2 tsp of black pepper
1 tsp of red chilli powder
1/2 tsp of smoked paprika
1 tsp of roasted cumin powder
1 tsp of oregano and rosemary (dried and crushed)
2 tbl spns of lime juice (thanks to PJ for the idea)
1/4 cup of soya nuggets/vadi (optional)(thanks to PJ for the idea)
coriander leaves to garnish.
pinch of sugar
4 tsp of oil
salt to taste
Wash and soak the beans overnight and pressure cook them for a whistle until soft (they should not get mashy)
Cook the soya vadi is boiling water. Strain and keep aside.
Heat oil in a pan. Fry the chopped onion and all the spices until the onion gets transparent.
Add the diced tomato and tomato-garlic puree.
Cook well for 10 mins with the herbs and spices.
Add this to the slow cooker with 2 cups of water, soya nuggets and beans.
Add salt to taste
Cook slow for 6-7 hours at low heat.
Serve hot with baked croutons, grated cheese and coriander leaves.
Best served with pop overs of your choice.
Tip: The deep red color is imparted by the black bean pigments. Do add them for a traditional chili look. You may also add 1 finely chopped jalapeno or 1/4th of green bell pepper chopped (if jalapeno is too hot for you) for additional taste. Bake small pieces of bread at 425 F for 10 mins or until crispy to go with the chilli. The beans imbibe the flavors of the spices so well when slow cooked.
Herb and Cheese Pop Overs:-
Adapted from Paula Deen's show
2 large eggs
3/4 cup of milk
1/4 cup of water
1 cup flour
1/2 tsp of salt
1/2 tsp of black pepper powder
mix of dried herbs to garnish (your choice- I had rosemary,sage,thyme,oregano and basil in mine)
1/4 cup of grated cheese
Butter to grease
Preheat to 350 F
Grease a muffin pan.
Whisk the eggs, milk,water and salt together untill frothy.
Add the pepper powder and the flour little by little until mixed well.
Add the cheese and mix well. If the batter is lumpy, do not worry. It is ok.
Fill 3/4 of the muffin tins and ganish with mixed herbs on top.
For Soft bun like feel (ideal to have with Tea):-
Bake for 30-35 mins (approx., depends from oven to oven). They should have be golden browned on top. Insert a toothpick and bake until it comes out clean.
For Crispy bun like feel (ideal for Chili):-
Bake for 40-45 mins until they turn light brown. be careful not to burn them. Test with 2-3 pop overs first to decide on the baking time as it changes from oven to oven. Insert a toothpick and bake until it comes out clean.

His most popular and recent work is directing the short film, S.O.L. A film about the relationships between four male friends and the way they interact with the opposite sex. It was screened at The Screening Room in Tucson, Arizona on July 8th, 2011 to a sold out crowd. With the help of Daniel Geffre and especially Julio Rodriguez, a documentary of behind-the-scenes was made for this short. Julio nearly took on the entire documentary as the main editor and directed the interviews as well. The press release for S.O.L. has been distributed to several major local papers and Yuri received major attention for himself as well as the short which was published in an article of the Arizona Daily Star's Caliente section, the day before the screening took place. S.O.L. and the documentary will both be screened as one of the headliners for this event.
Daniel Geffre is a graduate from Pima Community College with a degree in Digital and Film Arts. He was a producer and publicist for Yuri's S.O.L. and wrote the press release for it as well. His short film The History of the Door will be screened at this event as one of the headliners. It's a comedy/mockumentary and it follows a narrator, who explains that the door was invented only to end arguments, and he uses two roommates to illustrate this theory. He wrote, produced and co-directed this short. He also starred in it as he played all three parts. It was originally screened in Tucson in 2009. He's done some other comedy writing but S.O.L. and The History of the Door are the two projects he was a major factor in.

On Sunday January 24, the ASPCA Field Investigations and Response Team assisted in the removal of more than 400 cats and dogs from the City of Clarksdale Animal Shelter. The animals were suffering from obvious neglect and health problems as a result of living in overcrowded conditions. With the help of numerous veterinary professionals and rescue organizations, we were able to provide much-needed relief.
"We found more than 400 animals living in a space designed for about 60," reports Tim Rickey, ASPCA Senior Director of Field Investigations and Response. The animals are receiving essential medical care provided by a veterinary team from Mississippi State University, led by Dr. Phillip Bushby, as well as local veterinarians Dr. Andrea Marble, Animal Medical Clinic; Dr. Jody Swartzfarger, Lawndale Pet Hospital; Dr. Wayne Adams, Adams Vet Clinic; and Dr. Rebecca Coleman.
On January 26, groups of animals began leaving the site with various rescue agencies, including the ASPCA. Six dogs are currently en route to our NYC headquarters, where they will soon be available for adoption.
"Animal shelters and rescue groups from all over the country offered their assistance in placing these animals up for adoption," said Matt Bershadker, Senior Vice President of the ASPCA's Anti-Cruelty Group. "This is a great example of what like-minded animal welfare professionals can accomplish when they work together for the common goal of saving lives."
The ASPCA is immensely grateful for the support of regional organizations that are offering temporary housing—and eventually, permanent placement—of the rescued pets. The Atlanta Humane Society is transporting at least 100 animals to Georgia, and countless other shelters, individuals and organizations are offering their critical support, including:
- Anna Ware of Holland M. Ware Foundation
- Mississippi State Animal Response Team
- Greg Norred with Norred & Associates
- Mississippi Animal Rescue League, MS
- Tailwaggers for Life, MS
- Jane Berry of Sterile Feral, GA
- PAWS Humane, GA
- Oxford-Lafayette Humane Society, MS
- Tampa Bay SPCA, FL
- Broward County Humane, FL
- Delaware Humane Association, DE
- Kent County SPCA, DE
- White River Animal Rescue, VT
- Northern New England Dog Rescue, VT
- Bolivar County Animal Shelter, MS
- Louisiana SPCA, LA
- Capital Area Humane Society, OH
- Petfinder.com
The ASPCA has provided a large amount of financial support and resources during this effort that have helped to cover the travel of our team members, animal supplies, vet care and heart worm treatments as well as temporary boarding and transportation of the animals. The ASPCA Community Outreach Team also pledged to provide professional consultation on proper shelter management in order to prevent future overcrowding.
For the latest information about the animals from Clarksdale, MS, including those who will be available at the ASPCA Adoption Center, please visit ASPCA.org.
Jeff Eyre, the Northeast Director of the ASPCA Field Investigations and Response Team, is currently on the ground in Haiti, assisting with animal relief efforts following the devastating earthquake that struck the region on January 12. The ASPCA is a member of the Animal Relief Coalition for Haiti (ARCH), headed by the International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW) and the World Society for the Protection of Animals (WSPA), which has deployed a team of experts to bring direct aid to the animals affected by the crisis. With limited communication in and out of the area, the following is the first in a series of field reports from Jeff on the frontlines.
Arrived in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, and met with local ARCH member Sodo Prieca. They have a base camp set up within the embassy compound. Security is tight with both local state and federal presence. This compound is patrolled by U.N. troops.
We were able to secure a third vehicle through IFAW—in a three-vehicle convoy, re-checking specific areas for any recurring issues. We then split into two patrols. Our team then proceeded to the American Embassy for a meeting.
After this meeting, we proceeded to the U.N. logistics base and made a supply pick-up.
Community is strong and accepting our presence with our local partners, showing the awareness and empathy needed for an integration of animal and humane needs.
Saw five cows, four goats, chickens—who also come to meals with us—a couple of pigs and some street dogs—average condition. Will check in again…
If you would like to support the animal welfare relief efforts in Haiti, please direct your donations to IFAW or WSPA.
On Sunday, January 24, under the authority and request of the City of Clarksdale, MS, the ASPCA dispatched members of its Field Investigations and Response Team to assist in the removal of more than 400 cats and dogs from the City of Clarksdale Animal Shelter.
aspca senior director of field investigations and response, tim rickey, tends to some of the dogs found on site.
Early Sunday morning, ASPCA responders led the effort to remove the animals from the site. The animals, housed in deplorable and overcrowded conditions, were suffering from obvious neglect—including medical conditions such as mange, as well as injuries and bite wounds as a result of living in overcrowded cages. A team of local veterinarians conducted exams on each animal and triaged any immediate needs. The animals were transported to a temporary shelter set up in a nearby location.
"What we've found are more than 400 animals living in a space designed for about 60," says Tim Rickey, ASPCA Senior Director of Field Investigations and Response. "We are making sure that the animals' immediate needs are being met, and all animals are being evaluated by a veterinarian and will receive appropriate care."
kristen limbert, a member of the aspca field investigations and response team, aids some of the cats found in the city of clarksdale animal shelter.
The ASPCA will also provide the local organizations with the tools, resources and guidance needed to help improve conditions at the City of Clarksdale Animal Shelter. Rickey says, "It appears that this is a situation where the intake of unwanted animals was much higher than the number of animals being adopted, and it led to horrible living conditions. We are glad to be able to provide relief."
The ASPCA is extremely grateful to the shelters and organizations that are aiding in the rescue and housing of these animals. The animals will eventually be made available for adoption with the help of Petfinder.com.

On January 20, the trial of Jasper County, MS, puppy mill operator Richard Stockman came to a victorious close. Charged with 43 counts of misdemeanor animal cruelty, Stockman pled guilty to all charges in a Jasper County Justice Court.
Stockman was cited last October after 46 severely emaciated dogs, most suffering from a range of ailments including skin disease, rotted teeth, fur matted with urine and feces and various infections, were found on his property. Members of the ASPCA Field Investigations and Response Team assisted the Jasper County Sheriff's Department with the investigation and the rescue of animals.
Under terms of his plea agreement, Stockman must destroy his Bay Springs, MS, kennels and find homes for the remaining dogs within 30 days, or the animals will be seized by authorities. He is also banned from ever owning or caring for dogs used for breeding again. Furthermore, Stockman has 90 days to pay the courts a $1,000 fine.
The rescued dogs were sent to the Oxford-Lafayette Humane Society where they have since been adopted.
"Our team of investigators collected evidence for the prosecution of this case and provided for the animals' immediate needs," says ASPCA Senior Vice President of Anti-Cruelty, Matt Bershadker. "Animal cruelty is unacceptable, and we did everything we could to lend our support to this critical operation. We applaud the Jasper County Sheriff's Department for pursuing this case and recognizing the severity of the complaint."
On January 19, David Barkley, 39, of the New York Aquarium pet store located on Jamaica Avenue, was arrested by Special Agent Joann Sandano and charged with animal cruelty for allegedly severely neglecting two birds, both of whom died. The store is known for selling exotic birds, reptiles and fish, as well as for boarding dogs.
The initial investigation began on October 25, 2009, after a concerned customer filed a complaint with the ASPCA regarding an ill dog being boarded at the facility. Upon arrival, Agent Sandano discovered that the dog in question had been returned to his owner. However, further inspection of the facility turned up a dead parakeet lying atop a bird cage. The remains were taken to the ASPCA Animal Hospital, where veterinarians performed a necropsy and determined that the cause of death was neglect and malnourishment.
Agent Sandano returned to the location as a follow-up to the investigation. Her second inspection of the store uncovered a canary huddled in a cage in the shop's basement. Agent Sandano immediately transported the bird to the ASPCA Animal Hospital—unfortunately, the bird died in transport. Agent Sandano subsequently returned to New York Aquarium to place Barkley under arrest.
Stacy Wolf, Vice President and Chief Legal Counsel of the Humane Law Enforcement Department stated, "The ASPCA aims to ensure that those in the business of selling pets for profit provide adequate care to their charges—regardless of species. Failure to do so should carry serious consequences."
Barkley, who took full responsibility for caring for the animals in the shop, was charged with two counts of misdemeanor animal cruelty. If convicted, he faces up to two years in jail and fines up to $2,000.
If you know of an animal whose health is being compromised by neglect or abuse, please report it. Visit our Report Cruelty FAQ to learn how to report cruelty in your neighborhood.

By 2015, the 65,000 vessels using the busiest waterways in the world, including the coastal waters off the United States and Canada, and the Baltic and North Seas, will be required to lower the sulfur levels in their exhaust emissions drastically or face enormous regulatory fines to comply with the International Maritime Organization's (IMO) 2015 exhaust emissions regulations.
The maritime industry has few options available to meet these IMO emissions regulations. A vessel can use very expensive low sulfur marine fuel on an ongoing basis; choose to install exhaust scrubbers, which can cost the vessel up to $30 million and require months of expensive dry-dock time; or can install the new DSOX-15 Fuel Purification System from Poly Shield Technologies Inc.
Compared to currently available exhaust scrubber technologies, the DSOX-15 Fuel Purification System requires no dry dock time, is at least 10 tons lighter and costs up to 75% less. As a result, we strongly believe the DSOX-15 Fuel Purification System is the best option available on the market today for achieving IMO low sulfur exhaust emissions compliance.

Nine black former "American Idol" contestants -- from various seasons -- are banding together to SUE the show ... claiming they were all FORCED off "Idol" as part of a racist (and illegal) plot to boost ratings.
TMZ has obtained a letter, submitted to the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission by NY attorney James H. Freeman -- in which he asks for permission to sue Idol and FOX on behalf of his clients ... who have all appeared on the show: FYI, Freeman is required to file with the EEOC before filing suit.
Corey Clark (Season 2), Jaered Andrews (Season 2), Donnie Williams (Season 3), Terrell Brittenum (Season 5), Derrell Brittenum (Season 5), Thomas Daniels (Season 6), Akron Watson (Season 6), Ju'Not Joyner (Season 8) and Chris Golightly (Season 9).
In his letter, Freeman claims he noticed something fishy about "Idol" when Jermaine Jones was kicked off on March 15, 2012. Producers had claimed Jones failed to inform them about multiple outstanding warrants out for his arrest.

Listen to shaman. Books, videos and magazines are fine, but the deer themselves will be your best teachers. It also helps to have a good mentor, but even then that will be limited, especially if you don't go off on your own.
I had a wonderful mentor, but the best thing he taught me was to contually ask "why" in regards to anything in the woods and to observe anything and everything I see, hear, or smell in the woods and to do me best to learn why. I'm doing exactly that to this very day 50 years later. In fact, he actually told me very little. I'd ask him something and he'd respond with a question. Eventually I came to my own conclusions.
Let the actual woods be your classroom, and the creatures and plants that reside there be your teachers.

By Rob Giardina
While it is difficult to generalize about the population of any country, this may be more the case with Spaniards. Spain has experienced dramatic change in the last 40 years, both in business culture and the society in general. Individuals, as well as companies, are at different points along that transformation curve. Large differences can be found between multinationals and small and mid-size companies—especially family businesses. In addition, Spain has one of the highest percentages of immigrant population in Europe, calling somewhat into question what a "typical" Spaniard is.
Nevertheless, we can say in general terms that Spanish culture is relationship oriented and somewhat hierarchical, and the people are flexible, as well as multi-focused in that they tend to divert their attention among various issues and obligations. Spaniards generally will do their best to make the training experience warm, fun, and meaningful for everyone.
What Is Expected of the Trainer
Participants appreciate dynamic sessions, humor, and the occasional game. However, they generally want that rounded out with theory and more traditional teaching practices. They expect a certain air of seriousness and even a little formality from trainers. It should always be clear who the expert in the room is. Dressing well and one's image in general are important. Academic titles lend credibility, so stress them when possible, perhaps by having someone formally introduce you.
Spaniards are generally flexible, but they want a strong leader to provide at least an initial plan and structure, and they expect to be "reined in" when necessary. They like clear instructions, even though they may not follow them to the letter.
What the Trainer Can Expect
Harmony within the group of participants is important, especially if they work together, so participants may try to avoid any possible conflicts. They also may avoid disagreeing with those higher in rank and may look to the highest-ranking managers to answer first.
Compared to Northern Europeans, Spaniards are relatively multi-focused, so interruptions, last-minute changes, coming and going, lateness, and ringing mobile phones are somewhat commonplace. There are often side conversations, but this generally shows interest more than distraction or boredom. A "well-behaved" group might be an uninterested group.
Trainers and their knowledge and opinions are respected, possibly to the point that Spaniards may hesitate to correct or disagree with them, or express dissatisfaction directly. Their informal verbal feedback may differ from anonymous written evaluations.
English language levels are generally low in Spain. One effect of this is that some participants may be a little embarrassed to speak in front of the group, or may not want to venture an opinion if they don't think they have understood everything that has come before. Nevertheless, they generally like full-group discussion, especially in their own language, if it is well moderated and everyone gets a chance to speak.
Keep in mind that participants often don't do pre- and post-session work that is assigned. And jokes and comments that may be considered politically incorrect or even discriminatory in other cultures are not unusual.
Training Tips
Spaniards are often loath to take risks in public, so be careful that an activity doesn't leave someone feeling shown up or embarrassed. Set the stage for a dynamic session by having learners participate actively with something easy and impersonal early on, and then through the session work up to things that are more difficult or personal. Negative comments are sometimes personalized, so be careful even with constructive criticism, especially in front of others.
There are clear regional differences within Spain. Although they don't make for a different training experience, a trainer would be wise to at least understand identity issues and, when appropriate, acknowledge them.
Creating a pleasant and relaxed atmosphere is key. When training in Spain, success will come through building trust and focusing on the relationship.

Showing 1 to 7 of 7
Well-designed dining tables with benches provide an open, adaptable twist to dining room furniture. Using a dining table bench is a more versatile option than chairs, allowing a varying number of diners to eat together without needing additional furniture. Benches for dining table use can also double as seating in a play room or in the lounge during a party or other large event.
A bench dining table or dining room table and bench works equally well in the kitchen. A kitchen table with bench can be used for informal meals, or to rest on during kitchen tasks. Like any bench, a kitchen table bench can be moved to other parts of the house if required, giving extra seating where it is needed. All our dining table bench sets are well built and very strong, providing secure seating for people of all shapes and sizes.
A wooden indoor bench is a piece of furniture which is enjoying a welcome revival. Indoor benches were once commonly seen in homes, but became rarer when sofas became more popular. Thankfully the indoor bench is back, giving home owners a comfortable, versatile seating choice. When using furniture benches indoor décor can be reflected in the careful use of colour in cushions and coverings. The addition of carefully chosen soft furnishings significantly enhances the appearance of a wooden indoor bench.
If you like the look of an oak bench indoor designs are a great way to enjoy your furniture. Once you have purchased your wooden benches indoor placement can be altered easily until you find exactly the right spot. A wooden indoor bench is such a classic item it has the advantage of looking great anywhere; conservatories, studies and dens will all benefit from an indoor bench or two. Don't forget we deliver indoor benches UK wide at no cost if your purchases exceed £300.
Dining room bench seating is not only a comfortable and easily maintained option, but our great range of dining room bench seating at astonishing low prices makes it a great budget choice too. Despite the high quality woods used and the excellent workmanship of our benches, costs start from less than £150. A well-made wood bench is a very robust item and will usually last for decades.
We guarantee you won't pay less for an identical oak bench dining table from another genuine retailer, as we will match the lower price under the terms of our price match promise. Add in free delivery (for orders over £300) and no additional costs to understand why we really are doing our utmost to provide top quality furniture at bottom drawer prices.
Everyone wants their home to stand out amongst others, to stick in people's memories and impress them. What's the point in putting so much effort into perfecting your home if it doesn't leave an impression on visitors, after all? That's why at Oak Furniture Solutions we supply indoor furniture benches.

That's why, at Oak Furniture Solutions, we supply a selection of reclaimed wooden furniture. This furniture reuses wood so that for a large range of the furniture we supply, no trees have been felled for their sake.

Handy Tips:
The crystal tips can be cleaned by removing them from the unit, and soaking in a bowl of warm water.

Dental Polisher is an easy to use dental hygiene and tooth whitening regime, helping to eliminate the dangerous build up of plaque, whilst also removing stains and reducing discolouration.
Plaque is one of the underlying factors behind the cause of tooth decay. It is a colourless, sticky layer of bacteria that builds up on the surface of the teeth which reacts with the sugars and starches found in the foods we eat and drink. This reaction produces acids which attack the tooth enamel, leaving it vulnerable to cavities.
Regular cleaning in-between the teeth and below the gum line should be an essential part of your dental regime to help prevent plaque build-up and gum disease. This can be achieved with the Dental Polisher which comes complete with an interdental pik, plaque removal tool and stain eraser.
The dental polisher will help to remove stains and discolouration on the front teeth. It will also shine and polish the front teeth.
Interdental Pik is used to remove food particles, plaque and tartar build-up from the hard to reach places between your teeth and gums.
Plaque Removal Tool allows plaque and tartar build up to be wiped away from the surrounding areas on the surface of the teeth and gums.
• No more than a few seconds should be spent polishing each tooth. Too much polishing can cause slow erosion of tooth enamel.
• This product is for single person use to avoid any possibility of cross infection of gum disease.
• The dental polisher must not be used more than twice a month. You are advised to brush your teeth twice a day and continue to use the interdental pik, plaque removal tool and stain eraser whenever needed.

Keeping your feet in a healthy, hygienic condition by making sure your toenails are cut correctly and removing the hard skin means you'll feel better, walk better and look great when barefoot. Step out in confidence with silky smooth feet.
The included step-by-step DVD guide shows how you can achieve beautiful feet in the comfort of your own home.
Perfect Feet includes a foot rasp callus remover with extra blades, corn/callus files, foot soak tablets, exfoliator, cuticle remover/pusher, moisturiser and oils. Perfect Feet comes complete in a carry case.
Handy Pedicure Tips:
Tips for cutting the toenails: to nip the corners slide the clippers under the nail until you can see the clipper on the other side of the nail. This ensures you do not cut any skin or cut too far down the nail. Smooth with a file to remove sharp edges. Do NOT round the nails completely because this can lead to ingrowing toenails.
Removing the cuticles: apply cuticle remover to each toenail to soften the cuticle for easier removal. Massage in for a few seconds on each cuticle. Replace the foot in the foot soak to help the process of softening the cuticle while working on the other foot. Remove the first foot and pat dry with a towel. Using the cuticle pusher gently ease the cuticle back from the nail plate. If there is excess cuticle this can be cut away using the nippers. Take care not to remove too much as this may damage the healthy cuticle. Replace the foot in the soak and move onto trimming the cuticles of the other foot.
Replacement Guarantee available:
3 Year Protection £14.00Facial steaming is one of the most beneficial spa beauty treatments for skin health and overall skin condition. Atomised steam cleanses the skin, opening the skin pores to help eliminate toxins, residual make-up and daily grime.

By Fergus Hodgson
Few would argue that the ballooning national debt - officially at $16.2 trillion and $52,000 per capita - is not a problem and merits no attention. You might be surprised to learn, then, of a slick campaign to build a bipartisan coalition of people who agree that "America's growing federal debt threatens our future and that we must address it."
This Campaign to Fix the Debt already boasts $30 million in funding. The organization is rolling out digital, print and television ads to persuade people of what they already know to be true. It also plans to have 20 to 25 state chapters, including three already open, in Tennessee, New Hampshire and Georgia.
Unfortunately, this campaign offers no real solutions - nothing that would change the underlying incentives of Congress and the president. We can all look at a problem and declare it a problem. That is child's play. Providing solutions is another story - and the best framework the new group offers is the president's Simpson-Bowles Commission, which failed even to agree on a proposal to publish.
Solutions are out there. This campaign and its well-heeled supporters are just not promoting them. Consider either a balanced budget amendment or the National Debt Relief Amendment. Neither option is on the campaign's radar, yet they could come into force via a state-initiated amendments convention and without approval from Congress.
Federal officials have proved themselves in dire need of precisely such an external check. Public choice economics also dictates that an institutional or structural solution is necessary, as opposed to mere appeals. Besides, state legislatures have already sent a multitude of resolutions to Congress over the years urging them to balance the budget, but to no avail.
Not only are Fix the Debt representatives ignoring real solutions and not offering their own, they are spreading unwarranted fears that a swift balancing of the budget would push the federal government over a "fiscal cliff." According to the co-chairman of the New Hampshire chapter, Republican Nashua Mayor Donnalee Lozeau, even minimal spending reductions as part of the potential sequestration at the end of this year would cause "another Great Depression." What was the name of your organization again? How ironic.
Many state governments manage to balance their books each year, and that does not cause the sky to fall. In fact, 49 of the 50 states have some form of balanced budget constraint. Yet federal officials have spent deficits of greater than $1 trillion for the past three years straight.
In the process, they have expanded their spending from below 20 percent to more than 25 percent of the economy. As Burton Abrams of the Independent Institute recently noted in the Washington Times, this grossly unsustainable federal spending is the real fiscal insanity, not a balanced budget.
The expensive and counterproductive activities of the Campaign to Fix the Debt should come as no surprise. It is made up of the very people who, to a large degree, have profited from and are responsible for the debt crisis in the first place. This includes a host of former congressmen and even Alice Rivlin, a former Federal Reserve vice chairman and one of Barack Obama's appointees on the Simpson-Bowles Commission.
Individuals like these will gladly accept donations and pretend they are building a coalition. All the while, as they snub and distract people from constitutional solutions, they are working against their very own purported objective.

A Comforting Message for the Closing Year
Charles Spurgeon:
But here is the joy, here is the peace of Christians, that our salvation is a finished one! We have not a farthing to pay to complete the ransom of our souls. We have not a stitch to set to finish the robe of our salvation. We have not an act to perform, a prayer to offer, a tear to weep, a thought to think in order to finish the work of our redemption! I know that all these things shall be worked in us and, that by the Spirit of God we shall be made to do them — but all that shall not be with any view to the completion of our salvation — that was finished in the Person of the bleeding Lamb of Calvary! . . .
Either Christ completed all that was necessary for your …

Can't afford a Nissan Leaf? No Problem!
Build a cheap electric car yourself by removing the the car engine, replacing it with a forklift motor, and adding batteries.
I have plenty of videos about this project at:
and 300MPG.org
The primary "build blog" for this project is at:
but watch out! That is a good read for when you have WAY too much time on your hands.
For a good intro to basic electric car construction, stick with this Instructable.
For more in-depth construction information, check out the instructional Video DVD available at 300MPG.org
Step 1: Get a car.
I was looking for something lightweight, with no power anything.
Heavier cars need more energy to push down the road, thus limiting your range on batteries.
Things like power steering and power brakes run off the engine, which is going to be removed anyways, rendering them useless. Power windows and locks add weight and complexity to the vehicle.
I ended up finding a Geo Metro for sale, for $500. The engine ran fine, and the body wasn't too bad, but I couldn't drive it home because the clutch was messed up. Oh well, this conversion isn't going to use a clutch anyways!
Make sure the car doesn't have anything major wrong with it (other than maybe a blown engine!) You want to do a Conversion, not a Restoration!

I have to build my garage next spring and would like to base my garage size to yours and add a few feet here and there.
The exterior dimensions are 22' wide by 20' deep on a concrete slab. typical 2x4 stud construction but only exterior siding on top of that - no sheathing, and no insulation. I can see daylight through some parts of the wall. Not the best place to work on cars in the winter!
The garage is more likely to look crowded because of all of what's inside of it, rather than its size. A single car garage looks spacious when there's nothing in it!
The C-Rate is the capacity rating of the current flow in the battery. Example, a battery with a 40A-h and a C rate of 3-C will give you 3 time 40A, which is120A however, be advice that you will not be able to run an electric motor for an hour as you are "sucking" a lot of juice from the battery.
Also, make sure that your inverter, motor controller, wire and electric motor can handle that much current.
The more in series, the more the chance of one of them not being as good as the rest and dragging them down.
That's really it though. Everything else has always really worked great. I'm taking a look at the possibility of upgrading to lithium next summer, depending on my budget. Lithium prices are always continuing to come down.
On rear-wheel drive cars, there are setups where builders will put a high-power, high-torque motor onto a short driveshaft and straight to the rear differential. Makes for sun little dragsters!
My background is mechanical engineering (operating steam plants in the Navy) I do have a question though. My relatively average knowledge of electronics would lead me to think that as long as the motors are identical and the current to them is regulated properly that you could use 4 smaller motors (one at each wheel) instead of one big one to propel the vehicle. If run in parallel the motors should all turn at the same speed (I am sure a computer could further regulate the current to keep the wheels within a certain range of each other)
I ask this because the price of motors that are 25+ hp are a little high for the average person to purchase for their first EV project this (as BigTurd suggested) would also cut the need for a full sized transmission.
Second issue is synchronizing the two motors so they spin exactly the same speed (unless turning). If one spins faster (or slower) than the other, the car will pull to one side. Not fun. Dealing with tracking issues when turning due to a different turning radius on the wheels would be even harder. Better to drive a differential and let it do the work.
In a brand-new, custom-built vehicle, it would be easy to design for. In fact, with the motors out of the way, and no traditional transmission, it would give you great design flexibility. Modern car manufacturers talk about that sort of thing all the time. But for a simple conversion of an existing car, just replacing the engine with an electric motor and adding batteries is far more straight-forward than designing/manufacturing/fabricating everything for multiple motors and driven wheels.
I think that a four-wheel-drive hub-motor vehicle would be a great project to see. It might start off best as an "off-road-only" vehicle, something like a dune-buggy, ATV or something similar.
The "Tropica" electric car, designed by Bob Beaumont, also the inventor of the Citicar, was rear-wheel drive with TWO electric motors. Each motor was mounted on the swing-arm of the wheel, along with a belt and pulley to get the gear ratio right from the motor to the wheel. Also, each of the two motors had its own controller.
As for the cost of motors. There are plenty of good ones that can be bought brand new, specifically for EV use for $1000-$3000. That was a little expensive for my project, which only cost about $1300 total. My motor was from an electric forklift. I bought it for $50, cleaned it up, and installed it in my car. It works great.
For more information on repurposing forklift motors to power electric cars, please visit this link.
If you really want speed in an EV, check out the Tesla Roadster, White Zombie, or Killacycle.
I know several people with electric boats, and might be consulting this summer on converting our state university's sailing team flagship to electric drive.
I made a blog entry on electric boats a while back you might want to check out. http://300mpg.org/electric-boats/
Since you are in Pittsburg, you might also want to check out the Mother Earth News Fair at Seven Springs in September. There are presentations on all sorts of great info, including several I will be giving on electric vehicles. http://www.motherearthnews.com/fair/SevenSprings.aspx#axzz2OvmtGPKe
Heated coat!
The heated coat gives me instant warmth, and puts the heat where I want it - on me!
If there was a way to leave the clutch you could shift gears while running. The electric motor was designed for slow heavy use not hwy speeds?
Shifting without a clutch really isn't a problem. It's a very different thing having an electric motor that comes to a complete stop when you do (rather than an engine that has to idle) The electric motor has been working great.
Choosing electric motors working voltage is important and the batteries important.
If you have a car for coversion and you have money everything is ok.
But how to do ??? I am searching on internet.Articles , videos , there are lots of websites for it.
I have a skoda favorit 1300cc engine car.Converting it to electric can be better than using with lpg....
I found some seller that explains how to do it ? And which parts We'll use.
I was interseted in one of them.Explains good.... And cool )
It was Electric Conversion
You need a larger motor that can handle the continuous amperage required to ride the tractor around and mow the lawn.
My friend converted a gas riding lawn mower to an electric one. You can read about it at:
i am an electrical engineering student from pakistan
i wanted to do this as my final year project.
could u tell me how much HP your motor was?
i meen whats your motor power in HP or kW?
bilal tahir.
Cruising, it typically takes 100 amps, but I can pull up to 500 amps (accelerating, uphill) briefly.
72vx500 amps is 36kW or about 48 horsepower.
72V x 100 amps is 7.2kW, or just under 10HP.
People have built drill-powered bicycles too. Just make sure to do the hard work of pedaling to get getting, then use the drill for cruising speed.

An apparent abduction involving a couple in New York City was a hoax, part of a surprise birthday party, New York police said Monday. The people involved came forward and there will be no charges, police said.
Part of the incident was captured on camera.
In the surveillance footage, a man in a mask races around a corner near a park. A person, who appears to be a man with a plastic bag over his head, follows.
CNN affiliate WABC reported two young girls told police that they saw one of the men point a firearm and force the woman into the vehicle, which sped away.
But police said no one was reported missing in the area.
Another person told WABC that three men were camped out in the minivan before the incident took place. She said she thought they looked suspicious because it wasn't cold enough for someone to be wearing a mask.

I am no surfer. I fear the deep. I fear drowning. You see, fear limits oneself from accomplishing things. But what if, fear is taken out of the picture? What do you get? Adventure!
Here are the lessons that I learned from surfing:
1. Take out your prejudices. Take out your fear. Go and face the waves.
2. Be observant. At the start of the demo, take note of how things are being done. Watch other surfers do it.
3. Focus. Listen to what your instructor tells you.
4. Believe in yourself that you can do it and you will.
5. Persistence is key. When you fall off the board, try again. Practice makes perfect. Cliche it may sound but this is true especially if you're just starting out.
6. Don't forget to smile despite everything.
7. Never let failure stop you from going on. And you'll be surprised that after the nth try, you have succeeded. You have conquered the waves!
Photos are taken in Bagasbas Beach, Camarines Norte.

Europe is generally agreed to be the birthplace of western culture, including such legendary innovations as the democratic nation-state, football and tomato sauce.
The word Europe comes from the Greek goddess Europa, who was kidnapped by Zeus and plunked down on the island of Crete. Europa gradually changed from referring to mainland Greece until it extended finally to include Norway and Russia.
Don't be confused that Europe is called a continent without looking like an island, the way the other continents do. It's okay. The Ural mountains have steadily been there to divide Europe from Asia for the last 250 million years. Russia technically inhabits "Eurasia".
Europe is presently uniting into one political and economic zone with a common currency called the Euro. The European Union originated in 1993 and is now composed of 27 member states. Its headquarters is in Brussels, Belgium.
Do not confuse the EU with the Council of Europe, which has 47 member states and dates to 1949. These two bodies share the same flag, national anthem, and mission of integrating Europe. The headquarters of the Council are located in Strasbourg, France, and it is most famous for its European Court of Human Rights.
In spite of these two bodies, there is still no single Constitution or set of laws applying to all the countries of Europe. Debate rages over the role of the EU in regards to national sovereignty. As of January 2009, the Lisbon Treaty is the closest thing to a European Constitution, yet it has not been approved by all the EU states.
