Let's be blunt here, Swistle: I'm eighteen and expecting a baby in late November. It's a girl.
I know that the least I can do is give my child a name that won't allow people to get that self-satisfied smirk on their faces and think, "your name reflects your upbringing and your parents"; I will not do my child a disservice by heaping a misspelled, infantile, vapid, trendy name upon her, because it's bad enough that I'm barely an adult. And also my tastes run rather droll.
So the entire naming process has been one strung throughout with anxiety. To say the least. Ahem.
Onto the names. There are HUGE problems with the first, middle AND last names. Huzzah.
FIRST: I had a few first names picked out by myself, because my daughter's father (I refer to him as that because we were not in a romantic relationship when my daughter was conceived, are not in one now, and will not be in one in the future; we're not even friends) had decided that he wanted no part of it (he's two months younger than me but, may I say, has the maturity of an ten-year-old) and I took it upon myself to find the perfect name (I like vintage, less-common names that exude warmth and intelligence and feminine strength) . I would have been happy naming her any of the following:
But then the father grew up a bit and now wants to play an active part in his daughter's life before and after she actually gets here. Which is absolutely amazing for our daughter, but it's complicating the naming process. He's a very opinionated guy and surprisingly cares quite a lot what her name is.
His taste runs a bit...different than my own. He likes more modern, cutesy names and names with an edgy feel that are "cool". Dillon told me that he likes the following:
Juliet, nickname Jett (Dillon said that this is the most "bad-ass" name ever...)
As I am going to be her primary caregiver and the one who is, honestly, going to be making the most sacrifices, I think that I should have the final say. But because I want to honor his commitment to his daughter, I want him to help pick out his daughter's name. I just don't know if we can find a name that we both love. Please help!
MIDDLE: I want to give my daughter the middle name of Hermione, due to the amazing character and this quote, primarily.
"I've got two daughters who will have to make their way in this skinny-obsessed world, and it worries me, because I don't want them to be empty-headed, self-obsessed, emaciated clones; I'd rather they were independent, interesting, idealistic, kind, opinionated, original, funny - a thousand things, before 'thin'. And frankly, I'd rather they didn't give a gust of stinking chihuahua flatulence whether the woman standing next to them has fleshier knees than they do. Let my girls be Hermiones, rather than Pansy Parkinsons. Let them never be Stupid Girls." --JK Rowling
I want my daughter to be a Hermione, so badly it almost aches. But therein lies the problem. I realize that the Harry Potter series is universally acknowledged as meant for children, or at least teenagers, and it seems to me like Hermione would be a juvenile choice, therefore going against my naming principle. I don't want my daughter to be ashamed of either of her names, but especially of one that means so much to me. Is it selfish to give her the middle name of Hermione?
And the father does not like Hermione. He is a fan of Harry Potter but thinks that the name is "weird". I've shown him the quote but he doesn't get it. Should I push for Hermione or find a compromise?
LAST: Originally, I was going to give my daughter my surname, Monroe. But because her father has promised that he's going to step up, I feel as though it would be wrong not to include him somehow.
I'm not naive. I know that the father has a very good chance at not being a good father or even a father at all, and he might not deserve to have his daughter bear his last name. But his parents are lovely people and his mother will be taking care of the baby when I go back to high school in January since my mother works; they'll be around and will be playing a huge part in her life even if he is not. I feel as though my daughter should have his last name as SOME part for their sake.
A good option, I suppose, would be a double-barreled last name. But I don't especially WANT a double-barreled last name; I think they're clumsy and annoying. And which surname goes first: his or mine?
Another option that I have become aware of is using his surname as a second middle name, or vice-versa. But that seems confusing and bulky as well.
_____ Hermione Monroe
_____ Hermione Parker
_____ Hermione Monroe-Parker
_____ Hermione Parker-Monroe
_____ Hermione Parker Monroe
_____ Hermione Monroe Parker
Or any of the above choices with a different middle name. Or any other ideas.
Which one?
I've had a huge interest in names since I was young--and I have enjoyed both of your blogs for awhile--but I never, ever expected that I would actually have to find a name this early, nor that I would be in need of your services. But thank you.
Thanks again. I know I'm asking a lot of you.
Let's start with the surname. This is going to boil down to picking your favorite and the one that makes most sense to you, but if you like I can tell you what my favorite is: your idea of having the father's surname as a second middle name, and your own surname as the surname. If you'll be the primary caregiver and the other parent's involvement level is uncertain at this point, it makes sense for her to have your surname---but it's also nice to include her father's name in her name (I like your idea of thinking of it as the father's FAMILY'S name), and the second-middle-name slot is great for that. But all kinds of name arrangements seem to work out without too much hassle, so again, I say pick your favorite. The name gets long, but I think it's worth it here.
Next, the tricky issue of the middle name. I see your points, and I'm not sure what to advise. I THINK that my feeling on this is that it may cause a little reaction of the sort you describe, but that the people who have that reaction are likely to be the ones who will have a little reaction almost no matter what---and that your strong and enduring feelings about the name outweigh other people's mild and temporary reactions.
If you are looking for other solutions, I wonder if it would work to name her instead for the author of the quote and creator of Hermione's character? J.K. Rowling's first name is Joanne; according to Wikipedia, she says as a child she was only called that when she was in trouble, and that she goes by Jo. Jo is an adorable name, and it can remind you the woman who inspired your fervent hope. (And the quote would make a great framed print for the nursery.) It rhymes with your surname, but you could either use Joanne (and then use the cute nickname "[First name] Jo"), or maybe it doesn't matter, if Parker will be between them.
On to the first name. I like every name on your list. I love Alice best, I think. Alice Joanne Parker Monroe; Alice Monroe; Alice Jo. Lovely. Not a single smirkable name in the bunch.
From the father's list, Lily seems most compatible with your list---though it does give the two of you an inadvertent flower theme (as does Violet from your list; Hazel and Olive are also botanical but seem to me a much less obvious connection). Would it be more to your style if it were the full name Lillian? Lillian Joanne Parker Monroe; Lillian Monroe; Lily Jo.
If you like the name Juliet from his list, it might be an excellent compromise name: you can call her Juliet, and her dad's special name for her can be Jett. This assumes that although Jett isn't your style, you don't hate it (since she might later adopt it as the name she'd like to be called). If you really dislike it, let's take this one off. But otherwise: Juliet Joanne Parker Monroe; Juliet Monroe; Julie Jo.
If the father is looking for cool/edgy, perhaps we can find him an edgy/cool nickname for one of the names on your list. Again, it would need to be one you don't hate. But would it, for example, be okay if he called Alice "Allie," or "Al" or "Ace"? Could he call Olive "Ollie" or "Livvy"? I'm not very tuned in to edgy/cool, but perhaps he can think of more possibilities.
Another option is to have the first and last names be your choices, and the two middle names be his: a name within a name, sort of. So if your favorite were Hazel, and you wanted your own surname, and your favorite name from the father's list was Juliet, the name could be Hazel Juliet Parker Monroe. Hazel Monroe, with her father's choice of Juliet Parker nested inside.
Another option is to let him choose the name from a list of your finalists.
It depends a lot on how strongly he feels about his list, and how favorably he feels toward yours, and how unfavorably you feel about his list, and how much you're willing to work with him on this. One thing that makes this such an interesting set of questions is that it's unfamiliar turf as to how much say each parent should have. And we could land anywhere on the spectrum: with you having the entire say, with him having a little say, with you both having equal say, even with him having more say in order to increase the connection he feels to her. And I don't know what the right way is for your particular case (or for ANY case, for that matter!). It's interesting to think about.
Back to working with Hermione, I think my favorite first name is still Alice. Alice Hermione Parker Monroe. Alice Monroe.

Hi, Swistle! I just read your reply and it was amazingly helpful. Thank you SO MUCH for that. You are assuaging my worries with her name
But. I showed your reply and the comments to Dillon, the father, and after much discussion we decided that instead of a compromise with our original names, we need a brand new name that appeals to both of us. Could you possibly give us some name suggestions, or ask your readers to help us?
On a better note, reading the comments has given me a really, really good feeling about Hermione and I think I am going to use it as my daughter's middle name. Dillon's surprisingly come around to it and says that he really likes the meaning behind Hermione. So that's one thing down.
As far as the surname goes, I'm thinking that _____ Hermione Parker Monroe or _____ Hermione Parker-Monroe are our best options. Dillon wants the hyphenated last name, obviously, but I'm leaning more towards using Parker as a second middle name. But then I'm worried that his parents will be hurt, and I don't want that. But...gah. This is hard. Any advice?
I've been trying to look through baby name sites, but it's really hard to find a name that suits both of our styles. I suppose we need a name that's vintage but not old-sounding, fresh but not trendy, and feminine but not cutesy. And it has to sound great (or at least good) with Hermione. Please help!
Thanks again, Swistle. I'm sorry I'm being such a bother!
Name update! Rose writes:
Our beautiful daughter Louisa Hermione Parker Monroe arrived right on schedule at 7:12 in the morning yesterday, November 29. We call her Lucy.
Labor was thankfully short (but holy fudge so painful) and Dillon and I were blubbering messes at the end of it when little darling Lucy was placed in my arms. Lucy is unbelievably perfect and gorgeous and we love her so so much.
She was going to be Maeve Hermione--I think we were about 99% sure that that was her name. But then the day before she was born my grandmother Louisa was diagnosed with cancer, and she decided she's not going to undergo treatment. We felt that it was important to honor her because she's a important person in my life, and she made sure herself to give her children names that honored family, so we knew that she'd appreciate us honoring her. And she did--when we told her her great-granddaughter's name she looked so happy and touched and appreciated. We both cried. I now understand why people honor family--it's such a amazingly wonderful gift for both the honoree and the honorer. Then we were thinking of using Maeve Louisa but it sounds way too much like the name of a disease or like "may flew eesa". So we scrapped Maeve and kept Hermione and Louisa Hermione it was. I'm not disappointed with not using Maeve one bit, actually--I adore Lucy to pieces, and Dillon says that he loves it as well, more than Maeve.
Thank you, thank you, thank you everyone for all of your help with her name. If I hadn't had your help, I wouldn't have dared to use Hermione as the middle name, and who knows what Lucy's last name would have been. Using my surname as her surname and Dillon's surname as a second middle name is definitely the best option. I LOVE her name so much and I'm forever grateful to you, Swistle, and the readers.

Microsoft Puts Windows 7 USB/DVD Tool under GPL
Microsoft had released a tool in mid-November that generated bootable USB media or a DVD from the download version of Windows 7 and that conflicted with the GNU Public License. They now followed up by putting the tool under GPLv2.
Microsoft's open source community manager Peter Galli announced the release of the Windows 7 USB/DVD Tool (WUDT for short) and its licensing on the Port25 website designed to communicate with the open source community. Galli indicated that WUDT can now again be downloaded from the Codeplex.com site.
As was revealed earlier, WUDT in its original form included code not originating from Microsoft that was under GPL.
The release under GPLv2 wasn't without some changes made due to licensing reasons. In the original version Microsoft packaged a variety of programs required for installation, among them the .NET framework, IMAPI to burn DVDs and Bootsect.exe, a Windows 7 program that makes USB sticks bootable. The three programs must now be installed separately because of their separate licensing. Microsoft provides an installation guide for the purpose.

Marowak is a hard hitter, but its lack of recovery can be a serious pain. The fact that Marowak does not have to set up to hit hard is a notable feature; with maximum investment and an Adamant nature, it can reach an Attack stat of 568. It is a great sweeper, but that's about it. The fact that it gets Sing also gives it some versatility, but sweeping is your best bet with such a Pokemon.
Bonemerang is an option to let Marowak defeat Substitute Pokemon and thwart Focus Punch users; it also enables Marowak to take on Substitute Raikou as a last resort, as Marowak can survive even Modest Raikou's Hidden Power. Specifically, with 252 HP EVs and 12 Special Defense EVs, Marowak will survive Modest Raikou's Calm Mind-boosted Hidden Power. However, note that Bonemerang's subpar accuracy can hurt a sweep.
With 252 Speed EVs and a Jolly nature, Marowak outspeeds most Water-types, such as the occasional uninvested Suicune, as well as almost all Milotic. Another plus is the ability to outpace both Skarmory and Weezing. However, the difference in power might mean the difference between KOing a foe and being KOed itself. With an Adamant nature and Thick Club, Marowak hits a stat of 568 Attack, which lets it 2HKO 252/252+ Milotic and 252/252+ Swampert, as well as 2HKO or 3HKO 252/252+ Suicune, with an unboosted Earthquake. Regardless of which nature you use, however, Marowak should always run maximum Attack.
Thick Club gives Marowak the power of a Choice Band user, along with the ability to switch moves. Nonetheless, it needs good prediction to be effective. Focus Punch dents Skarmory on the switch, while Sing—which is an XD move—can put it or any other physical wall out of commission. Adamant is the recommended nature as this Marowak does not aim to set up, so Speed isn't as much of an issue as prediction is.
Maximum HP lets Marowak better wall Dragon Dance Tyranitar and stop Tyraniboah, but Marowak can only take so many predicted Crunches before going down. This is probably the spread you should use with paralysis support, or if you plan on passing Marowak some Speed.
Other Options
Belly Drum raises Marowak's Attack to such a high level that it will KO anything in the game not named Skarmory, but Marowak is too slow and fragile to set it up. It also desperately needs Thick Club, which leaves it no place for a Salac Berry. Perish Song can force switches but doesn't help against any notable threats; nonetheless, Bonemerang + Perish Song can ruin Baton Pass teams. Hidden Power Bug is another option to hit Grass-types in general and Celebi in particular, but Double-Edge does plenty to those.
Checks and Counters
Several Pokemon can come in on Marowak's main attacks, but most of them cannot stay in for long if they are slower and are hit hard on the switch. Weezing is easily the best counter but needs to watch out for boosted Double-Edge, while Celebi is a counter if it comes in on a move it resists. Ludicolo can come in more effectively because of its dual typing, but it is still susceptible to Marowak's strong hits. Skarmory is also tough, but a Marowak user with good prediction can still take it down. Claydol can come in on a couple of attacks as well, but it too needs to watch out for boosted Double-Edge and Hidden Power Bug.

Hitler's food taster tells of his fears
BERLIN — She ate feasts of sublime asparagus — laced with fear. And for more than half a century, Margot Woelk kept her secret hidden from the world, even from her husband. Then, a few months after her 95th birthday, she revealed the truth about her wartime role: Adolf Hitler's food taster.
Woelk, then in her mid-twenties, spent 2 years as one of 15 young women who sampled Hitler's food to make sure it wasn't poisoned before it was served to the Nazi leader in his "Wolf's Lair," the heavily guarded command center in what is now Poland, where he spent much of his time in the final years of World War II.

211 Pittsboro Street, Chapel Hill, NC | Directions 2751635.909659 -79.055166
amazing! – I stayed here a few years ago, & felt like I should be pinching myself out of disbelief the entire time... it's wonderful! The hotel is a beautiful, historic inn and the rooms are well decorated. I still remember how comfortable the bed was even now. I think it's somewhat disappointing to pay for parking at a hotel, so that may be my only gripe.
I did not want to leave this hotel or Chapel Hill. The location is in a great town with a lot of bars and restaurants. It was so quaint, clean and the rooms were beautiful. A breath of fresh air coming from the midwest!
Very nice and extremely convenient to downtown Chapel Hill – Very nice hotel, great staff and very clean. We have stayed here twice and we will be back soon! The parking is a bit tricky but once you're there you don't need your car until you check out so it's not that much of a problem.
Elegant atmosphere, wonderful food – My family always tries to visit Crossroads ( in the Carolina Inn ) for at least one meal when we visit Chapel Hill. Over the years we've had lunch, dinner and Sunday Brunch. We are always made to feel "at home" in this wonderful historic building, and never disappointed with our meal choice. For the quality, the prices are reasonable. You can take your whole family, or go with your spouse for a romantic evening. It doesn't get any better than this. The "taking care of" starts with the valet parking and just doesn't stop, every body is so nice ( old southern manners to match the old southern building ?)
Adjacent to Chapel Hill's University of North Carolina, this luxurious inn offers a glimpse of the Old South. – In Short
The hotel features a blend of an antebellum Southern plantation, neoclassic architecture, cozy parlors with fireplaces, secluded garden courtyards and three ballrooms. All 184 rooms are smartly decorated to match the inn's period design. Complimentary coffee and fresh-baked chocolate-chip cookies are provided. Valet parking, room service, fax and copy service and dry cleaning are also available.
Great historic hotel – in the heart of Chapel Hill. Close to the university and to all games fball, bball, etc. A block from Franklin Street and across the street from campus. The staff is very friendly and helpful from the bellmen/valet to the front desk and concierge. They have a small fitness center on site, but access to a 24 hour fitness center a couple miles away. The hotel restuarant, Crossroads, is impeccable! The rooms can be small as with any historic hotel. If you get in late request a handicaped room and if you have the money go with a suite - they are refurnished and will take your breath away. A must stay if you are in Chapel Hill. Make reservations early in the Spring and Summer they fill up here quick. And unless you've booked a year out, forget getting in here for football season!
Lovers Retreat – This was a wonderful place for me and my fiance' when we got engaged. There, you never once felt like you were in a university town and the people were kind and courteous. The rooms were small but quaint and offered the comforts of home.
still a great place to stay – Great location and good service. ALthough the hoel is older, it isstill a Carolina classic. I stay here every time I come to Chapel Hill because it is has reasonable rates and porvides complimentary work out at 24 hr health club near by. Excellent place to stay if coming into town for a game..
It Beats Sleeping in the Dorm – The inn is perfectly situated, vertually on the UNC campus. The lobby is cheerful and historic, and the staff is better than average. Rooms do not live up to the image, but they are perfectly comfortable.
I would go back.

Holland and Holland best English Classic Double Rifle
I had the opportunity recently to handle a fine Holland and Holland English classic double and must say what a surprise. The surprise was that the entire rifle was created from some form of plastic or polymer. Seem odd? Let me explain. Several years ago a good friend of mine was studying engineering at The Ohio State University. As part of a computer aided design project he created a CAD version of the action of a family heirloom rifle, a classic H&H. Many years later this little project has blossomed into a full-blown obsession, the result of which is a fully rendered and modeled Holland and Holland classic double.
I am sure you are asking yourselves why would anyone build a fully operational plastic H&H rifle. Well its not for the toy market. Apparently the full 3D modeling of a device is one of the final stages to accomplish when reverse engineering a project. I dont believe my schoolmate has any intention of marketing a reverse engineered Holland double rifle, but it did raise a question in my mind.
Is it possible with todays technology to create an exact copy of a classic rifle utilizing modern materials and techniques? I have researched the John Rigby rifles produced on modern machining by the California Company; once you get past the political and ethical debates it seems that the rifles themselves were sound and reliable versions of the original. The art of the hand made rifle is not going to be reproduced in a CNC machine but it certainly is possible to get close.
The raw materials and machine techniques available today are far superior to any of the age when these rifles were originally created. The availability of consistently similar billets of high-grade carbon alloys would allow for precise repeatable machine work. The accuracy of modern computer machine techniques would allow for duplication to within fractions of a percentage of the original. So the question is, in your opinion would it be possible to produce a modern version of the classic rifle utilizing modern materials and machining? If you did produce the rifle would it be of a similar quality? Aside from the ethical/legal questions of trademark and copyright infringement what are your opinions on the viability of this type of manufacturing. Is it too small of a niche to be profitable? Would the ethics of such a project render it unacceptable, much like we have seen from the California Rigby guns? What are your thoughts?Macs Burke

I don't own a double and have not hunted with one.
I am led to believe that double rifles with modern materials and using up to date manufacturing techniques (CNC machining) are being produced right now in the UK and other areas. CNC machining of parts is already common and those parts are often used by different firms. I do not know if the designs have been updated.
There is one school of thought that the Californian Rigby Doubles are based on shotgun actions brought in. Regardless, they would be made of modern materials.
I don't see an ethical issue at all. It would depend on market forces and a perception of what works and what is 'proper' in the eye of the purchaser. I wonder if a double rifle with a computer chip, computer regulated barrels and a synthetic stock would out sell a more traditionally designed double. We won't know until a builder of doubles trys to market one.Time spent in Reconnaisance is never wasted.

Reverse engineering is done all the time...and in areas that you probably would not have thought of.
To receive a better answer to your question i would suggest you ask the Japanese and Chinese manufacturing section, they have been doing it for years...James Grage - New Mexico

I've seen pictures of the Cali-Rigby's flats and water table. They were at one time proofed as shotguns in Germany then mono-blocked and turned into rifles. That's not saying that they are bad or unsafe either. I have a JP Sauer that has been reworked into a great shooting 450 NE.

Chicago >Food & Dining > Molly's Cupcakes
2536 N Clark, Chicago, IL | Directions 6061441.928776 -87.642545
Monday 12pm-10pm, Tuesday-Thursday 8am-10pm, Friday and Saturday 8am-12am, Sunday 8am-10pm
Neighborhoods: North Side, Lincoln Park
I'm not a huge cupcake person (strange, I know) but I'll eat any one of their varieties in this adorable shop. Favorites are the peanut butter Nutella, cookie monster, creamy eclair and the seven layer bar (warning: rich). Order an Intellensia coffee or milk for sure.
You can build your own cupcake by mixing and matching cakes and frostings (I like the vanilla cupcake with brown butter frosting), or get one of the specialty cupcakes in flavors like cookies and cream and butterscotch.
I've had four of Molly's cupcakes and found only one worthy of writing home about, but I won't praise a business that has terrible customer service. A friend introduced me to Molly's on Wednesday, April 24, 2013. I thought the person waiting on us might have had a bad day so I dismissed the attitude; however I returned on Friday, April 26 and was given worse service. After making my selection and paying for it, the worker packaged my items and put them on a table behind the counter. Another worker asked if she could help me and I said another individual was bagging my purchase. I told her what I'd bought and one other worker found it on the table. The individual working on my order had left my bag on the table to take a phone call. Since she didn't go running out of the bakery, I determined the call wasn't an emergency. My tip for Molly's, Good cupcakes don't make up for bad customer service. On neither visit was there an exchange of harsh words so there was no need for this kind of service. I will not be returning. Thank you for the calories saved.
Congrats on WINNING "Cupcake War" on Food Network! – Watch Food Network "Cupcake War" tonight and I have to agree that you have the BEST Cupcakes and deserve to have won!
Enjoy the party at the Burwood -
Be Proud - REAL PROUD!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nancy Brown (Debbie's sister)
Best Cupcakes Around! – I've been going to Molly's since it opened, and it has remained a staple dessert in our house every since the first day we tried a cupcake there. The cupcakes are really phenomenal - perfect frosting (the cream cheese on the red velvet is TO DIE FOR) and perfect cake texture. Sometimes the fillings are a little bit too much, but really, can you ever have too much cupcake?
The hidden gems here though are the smaller items that aren't right at eye level in the glass cases. These items are cheaper, and really make it a tough decision between cupcakes which are more expensive. Their rice krispie treats are absolutely PERFECT. Chocolate covered strawberries have the right consistency and quantity of chocolate - at half the price of high end places. And their cookies are totally divine.
Bottom line is there is something for everyone here. You will not be disappointed!
Awesome cupcakes – Molly's Cupcakes tastes like heaven. Well baked, tasty cakes in just few dollars. Whenever I visit that street, I never leave it without buying one. It makes me crazy. Staff is also polite and friendly.
Citysearch Editorial Review – For the true sugar addict, there's no better place for a fix than this Lincoln Park cupcake bakery, where locals swarm to sink their teeth into perfectly frosted cake concoctions, brownies, cheesecakes and ice cream bars. The daily rotation of cupcakes includes such tantalizing flavors as cookie monster, tiramisu and peanut butter Nutella. But if one of those just won't suffice, the cupcake bar--offering the opportunity to customize a cupcake of one's own with cake flavor (red velvet, pumpkin), frosting (chocolate ganache, vanilla buttercream) and toppings (ice cream, brownies, gummi worms) –will do the trick. Porch swings, old furniture and games galore make this old-school space very homey.
Came to Chicago to study cupcakes and found heaven – We came from France to check out real US cupcakes. After having tried several well renowned bakeries in London, UK, we hit Chicago.
Walking into Molly's is like going back to school - with all those good memories. The small tables and chairs, the games and the counter with swings !
Then when we get to the counter
it's heaven.
You can make your own cupcake. You choose the base, the frosting and the toppings. Then it is decorated in front of you !
Or if you are feeling really adventurous you can try the many specialised cupcakes. Be careful, these are serious cupcakes soft and fluffy, excellent filling and not sickly at all !! Much to our (pleasant) surprise expecting US cupcakes to be sweeter than those in the UK.
So Molly's is bakery number 6 on the cupcake list and went straight to the top and is still there (after trying 3 bakeries in Madison WI too).
To tell you how good it was, we were due to drive back from Milwaukee on the following Sunday directly to O'Hare to fly home, we changed our plans to spend the Saturday night in Chicago so we could go back to Molly's !!!!
This is THE address to know, to go to and to share with everyone !
Overpriced – The cupcake I had was a bit dry for my taste and it was nearly $4.00. Being a fan of the Ron and Fez show on XM radio, it was worth a visit.
Alway's worth the trip. – I'm a huge peanut butter and choclate fan and this cupcake made my life complete! I believe I can die now, LOL. The Ron Bennington is worth the drive.
Sweets for the sweet – My friend makes the cupcakes there and she is a terrific baker:)
Better than sex, well almost – The cupcakes are very delicious, there moisty which i love, pillsbury dough boy got nothing on that, plus the workers there are super nice. Its worth the trip and its really worth the view. : p

Forward motion ceases, so Jane gets a new clutch
The 49,676 miles it has seen so far don't seem like all that great a distance, but apparently they were too much for Plain Jane, our project Super Duty. Returning home from Los Angeles to northern Nevada with trailer in tow, Jane began shifting hard. Once cut loose from the trailer and used to run errands around town, she became downright stubborn and refused to shift into gear, or to even sit still at a traffic light with her clutch depressed.
Suspecting linkage, I first examined the all-plastic hydraulic master and slave cylinders, looking for a bleed screw. Finding none, I called Ford. This resulted in the purchase of a completely new hydraulic system, to the tune of 100 bucks. This plastic spaghetti, which consisted of a reservoir, some line, a master cylinder, more line and finally a slave cylinder, came pre-filled and pre-bled. Once installed (using no tools-it snapped together like Legos), Jane's symptoms were no better. Uh-oh. Out came the tools.
With her undersides scattered on the shop floor, the transmission's input shaft displayed disaster. The tip of it was the shape and size of my pinky-it should have been nice and round, and the size of my thumb.
Removing the clutch revealed the culprit. In the center of the flywheel, instead of a dime-size hole where a pilot bearing should have been, there was a quarter-size hole and no sign of any bearing. The outer race was still there, along with two little pieces of needle bearing, but that was it. The clutch's clamping surface was in fine shape, but its center showed signs it had been wearing at an angle for some time. The weight of that big 13-inch clutch, spinning around unsuspended and out of balance, did a number on everything aft of the missing pilot bearing-including destroying the $2,500 ZF six-speed transmission. To Ford's credit, it coughed up a remanufactured tranny-despite the fact that the truck's drivetrain warrantee had run out at 36,000 miles. As for the clutch, I decided that now was a good time to upgrade to a stronger unit.
Jane's Bank's-enhanced diesel is making 660 lb-ft of torque at her rear wheels, which means well over 700 lb-ft are twisting out of her flywheel and through her clutch. Centerforce's Dual Friction clutch cover, disc and SFI-certified flywheel are aftermarket pieces that can more than handle Jane's kind of torque.
Here is a comparison between the OEM clutch cover, or plate, on the left; and the Centerforce Dual Friction unit on the right. Note the square-shaped weights attached to the diaphragm fingers on the bright-orange Centerforce. These weights, when combined with the Dual Friction disc, create up to 90 percent more clamping force over the OEM unit. They rely on the centrifugal force inflicted upon them via engine rpm to do their job. The more rpm, the harder they clamp.
Now for a comparo of the OEM disc on the left, and the Centerforce Dual Friction puck design on the right. About the only thing they have in common is their 13-inch diameter. First, note that the Ford unit uses three large cushioning springs, while the Centerforce features four smaller ones. The OEM springs are known to rattle in their cages and are prone to breakage, due to their length and amount of surface area available for cushioning. Using four smaller springs increases the working surface area, cutting down on fatigue. Their tighter housings reduce the noise factor. In the friction area, the Centerforce features a carbon-fiber material with a much higher coefficient of friction than the OEM piece. This material can take considerably more heat before breaking down. The puck design contributes to the Centerforce's extreme clamping force. Picture a 100-pound woman walking on your back in tennis shoes. Now put that gal in stilettos and let her walk. The smaller area of those heels will concentrate that 100 pounds a whole lot harder than those tennis shoes would.
