Title: Clavaric acid and fasciculic acid: Biosynthesis and Molecular Genetics
Authors: Juan F. Martín 1,2 and Ramiro P. Godio 2

Abstract: Clavaric acid is a potent antitumor agent produced by the mushroom-forming basidiomycete Hypholoma sublateritium. Clavaric acid is structurally similar to fasciculic acid, a related triterpenoid produced by Hypholoma fasciculare that is described as a calmodulin inhibitor.
These two compounds are derived from squalene by the action of enzymes that convert squalene to 2,3-dioxidesqualene and this intermediate to clavarinone, a direct precursor of clavaric acid or fasciculic acid. One of these enzymes, the squalene oxidase, is common for primary metabolism (ergosterol biosynthesis) and secondary metabolism, whereas the late enzymatic steps are specific for the biosynthesis of clavaric acid and fasciculic acid. Molecular genetics studies allowed us to clone and characterise the genes encoding these enzymes. These studies have provided a considerable insight into the biosynthesis of triterpenoids in fungi, providing new potent pharmacologically-active compounds. Squalene epoxidases and oxidosqualene cyclases with modified consensus motifs in their active centers appear to play an important role in determining the oxidation and modification reactions that may result in specific secondary metabolites.

Title: Steroidal Triterpenes: Design of Substrate-based Inhibitors of Ergosterol and Sitosterol Synthesis
Authors: Jialin Liu and W. David Nes
Affiliation: Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, Texas Tech University, Lubbock, TX 79409, USA; E-Mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
Abstract: This article reviews the design and study, in our own laboratory and in other laboratories, of new steroidal triterpenes with a modified lanosterol or cycloartenol frame. These compounds, along with a number of known analogs with the cholestane skeleton, have been evaluated as reversible or irreversible inhibitors of sterol C-24 methyltransferase (SMT) from plants, fungi and protozoa. The SMT catalyzes the C24-methylation reaction involved with the introduction of the C24-methyl group of ergosterol and the C24-ethyl group of sitosterol, cholesterol surrogates that function as essential membrane inserts in many photosynthetic and non-photosynthetic eukaryotic organisms. Sterol side chains constructed with a nitrogen, sulfur, bromine or fluorine atom or altered to possess a methylene cyclopropane group, or elongated to include terminal double or triple bonds are shown to exhibit different in vitro activities toward the SMT which are mirrored in the inhibition potencies detected in the growth response of treated cultured human and plant cells or microbes. Several of the substrate-based analogs surveyed here appear to be taxa-specific compounds acting as mechanism-based inactivators of the SMT, a crucial enzyme not synthesized by animals. Possible mechanisms for the inactivation process and generation of novel products catalyzed by the variant SMTs are discussed.

Abstract: Literary data on polycyclic triterpenoids and own experimental results on separation, X-ray researches and synthetic transformations of pentacyclic triterpenoids from Scotch thistle Onopordum acanthium L. growing in the south of the Ural mountains (Russia) are generalized.
Triterpenoids rather widespread occure in nature. Their molecules containing six isoprenoid links, are predecessors of steroids, both in animals, and in plant organisms. Practically all plants produce tetra-and pentacyclic triterpenes metabolites with various types of a carbon skeleton. Among pentacyclic triterpenes 10 structural types are revealed. In a medical practice pentacyclic triterpenoids are already successfully applied in composition of regulators of cardiovascular system, antibacterial and anti-AIDS preparations, and in glycosylate form (saponin) in composition of hypochilesterinemic preparations and for hemosorption superfluous serum cholesterin from blood. Complete biological potential of polycyclic triterpenoids as medical products is still not studied. In this review there were summaried the various types of plant pentacyclic triterpenoids that have been described in the literature, such as oleanane, ursane, taraxastane and lupan (section 1); information about on biological activity (section 2), and also information available in the literature about chemical modifications triterpenoids and biological activity of their synthetic analogues (section 3). In the present review literary information for the past of 15-20 years is observed. The bibliographic list contains about 150 titles.

Abstract: Terpenoids are secondary metabolites found in abundance in plants. Many of these compounds have been approved for use in human medicine, but a massive arsenal of these compounds is still unexploited constituting an attractive source of potential medicines to be developed. In this comprehensive review, we plan to summarize the bioactivities of triterpenoid structures isolated from plants including but not limited to their antimicrobial, antiparasitic, anti-inflammatory, and anticancer activities. We propose to compare and analyze the structure of these compounds and their relationship to their bioactivities. In this review we plan to analyze the available literature without any emphasis on a specific genus or plant family.

Abstract: Protostanes belong to a small group of tetracyclic triterpenes, whose distribution is primarily limited to the genus Alisma (Alismataceae), yet examples of protostanes can also be found in Lobelia (Lobeliaceae), Garcinia (Clusiaceae), and Leucas (Lamiaceae). To date, a total of about 60 protostane derivatives are known. A number of bio-activities have been reported for this group of natural products, such as improving lipotropism, liver protection, anti-viral activity against hepatitis B and HIV-I virus, anti-tumor activity, and the reversal of multidrug resistance in cancer cells. This review covers the plant sources of protostane derivatives, their structural and spectroscopic properties, and biological activities. The biosynthesis of this compound class is also discussed and a refined biogenetic pathway is proposed.

Abstract: Ursene-type pentacyclic triterpenes, including the ursolic acid, corosolic acid, and a new ursene-type pentacyclic triterpene, 7,24-dihydroxyl ursolic acid, were isolated from the methanolic extract of the leaves of the Bangladeshi medicinal plant, Saurauja roxburghii, a higher plant indigenous to South East Asia and some part of North America. They were tested for the cytotoxicity against C6 rat glioma and A431 human skin carcinoma cell lines. Although they have the same ursene-type pentacyclic triterpene core structure, the position and numbers of hydroxyls on the terpene structure significantly affected the activity and the selectivity to the cell lines. Derivatization of ursolic acid was then investigated by the oxidation with dioxoruthenium (VI) tetraphenyl porphyrins. Oxidation selectivity on the terpene structure was modulated by the auxiliaries introduced on the tetraphynyl porphyrin. Oxidative modifications of ursolic acid affected the cytotoxic activity against C6 and A431 tumor cell lines.

Title: Steroidal Triterpenes of Cholesterol Synthesis

Abstract: Cholesterol synthesis is a ubiquitous and housekeeping metabolic pathway that leads to cholesterol, an essential structural component of mammalian cell membranes, required for proper membrane permeability and fluidity. The last part of the pathway consists of steroidal triterpenes with cholestane ring structure. It starts by conversion of acyclic squalene into lanosterol, the first sterol intermediate of the pathway, followed by production of 14 structurally very similar steroidal triterpene molecules in over 10 complex enzyme reactions. Due to structural similarities of sterol intermediates and the broad substrate specificity of enzymes involved (especially sterol-Δ24-reductase DHCR24) the exact sequence of the reactions between lanosterol and cholesterol remains undefined. This article reviews all hitherto known structures of post-squalene steroidal triterpenes of cholesterol synthesis, their biological roles and the enzymes responsible for their synthesis. Furthermore, it summarises kinetic parameters of enzymes (kcat and Km) and sterol intermediates concentrations from various tissues. Due to complexity of the post-squalene cholesterol synthesis, future studies will require a comprehensive meta-analysis of the pathway to elucidate exact reaction sequence in different tissues, physiological or disease conditions. A major reasons for the standstill of detailed late cholesterol synthesis research is lack of several steroidal triterpene standards. We aid to this efforts by summarizing commercial and laboratory standards, referring also to chemical synthesis and/or biotechnological production.

Title: Telomerase Reverse Transcriptase (TERT) is a Therapeutic Target of Oleanane Triterpenoid CDDO-Me in Prostate Cancer

Abstract: CDDO-Me (methyl-2-cyano-3,12-dioxooleana-1,9(11)-dien-28-oate) is a synthetic triterpenoid derived from oleanolic acid with strong antiprolifertive and proapoptotic activities. However, effect of CDDO-Me on human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) and its telomerase activity in cancer cells have received little consideration. The present study investigated the role of hTERT in mediating the anticancer activity of CDDO-Me in prostate cancers. The inhibition of cell proliferation and induction of apoptosis by low doses of CDDO-Me in human prostate cancer cell lines LNCaP and PC-3 was associated with the inhibition of hTERT gene expression, hTERT telomerase activity and a number of proteins that regulate hTERT transcriptionally and post-translationally. Furthermore, ablation of hTERT protein increased the sensitivity of cancer cells to CDDO-Me, whereas its overexpression rendered cells resistant to CDDO-Me. In addition, the inhibition of progression of preneoplastic lesions (i.e. low and high-grade prostate intraepithelial neoplasms, PINs) to adenocarcinoma of the prostate by CDDO-Me in transgenic TRAMP mice was associated with significant decrease in TERT and its regulatory proteins in the prostate gland. This study demonstrated potent anticancer activity of CDDO-Me against prostate cancer in vitro and in vivo and provided evidence that telomerase is a potential target of CDDO-Me for the prevention and treatment of prostate cancer.

Gay divorce made easier by D.C. Council
Nearly two years to the date since the District started issuing marriage licenses to same sex couples, the D.C. Council is making it easier for them to get a divorce.
Breaking up is hard to do no matter where you live—but, that has been especially true for same sex couples who were married in D.C. but live in states where those unions are not recognized.
But, when their relationship hits the rocks—couples turn to Michele Zavos—she has become the go-to attorney for same sex couples looking to get a divorce.
"In order to get divorced, you have to get your marriage recognized," said Silver Spring Attorney Zavos.
She has handled cases where couples married in D.C. could not split ways because they live in a state where same sex unions are not recognized.
"Our firm has a case in Maryland where two women tried to get a divorce, judge refused to grant the divorce," Zavos said.
The law is changing now and the case is under appeal. Until Zavos went to D.C. leaders last fall with an idea for a new law, one member of a same sex couple wanting a divorce had to live in the District half a year before filing with the courts.
"With this statute, I'm hopeful that individuals that have been married can go on with their lives," Zavos said.
D.C. leaders gave the bill final approval Tuesday.
"Imagine being married to the same person even after you break up and you simply cannot separate that's a bit of a nightmare ," said Bob Summersgill, who is an advocate for the gay and lesbian community.
Summersgill testified on the measure. He is told that same sex couples, unless you can visit splitsville, don't tie the knot.
"My sister for instance, I've advised not to get married. She lives in Missouri—because she would not be able to get out of it although she's been with her partner for I believe it's 17 years now," Summersgill said.
D.C.'s same sex divorce bill now goes to D.C. Mayor Vincent Gray for his signature.

And for the wave washer, I have no idea. That's my stab at it.

What AgRunner just described was a 'wave' washer. Standard split lock washers follow the same principle, but add a 'biting' surface. When the nut tries to loosen, the edge on one side of the split bites into the nut; the edge on the other side of the split bites into the material below it. This keeps the nut from turning. Unless you can turn the bolt, the nut cannot be removed without damaging it or the other surface. Star lock washers have very little compression resistance. Instead they rely almost entirely on small tines which are alternately bent up and down. These tines bite into both the nut and the sub-surface, preventing the nut from turning.

1 To strengthen your back extensor muscles, lie face down on a padded surface or a mat. Stretch your legs behind you with the tops of your feet on the floor, hip-width apart. Keep your inner ankles parallel to each other and your knees straight. Place your hands in front of you, flat on the floor, with your forearms parallel to each other and your elbows directly below your shoulders. Press down against your forearms as you raise your chest, shoulders and head away from the floor. Engage your back muscles and slide your shoulder blades down away from your ears as you elongate the front of your torso. Hold for 8 to 12 seconds.
2 To strengthen your abdominal and upper body muscles, lie face down on a padded surface or a mat in the same position as at left. This time, press down into your forearms as you lift your waist, hips and thighs off the floor. Engage your abdominals to prevent your lower back from overarching. Hold for 8 to 12 seconds.

TEAMS: New England Patriots, St. Louis Rams
TEAMS: New England Patriots, St. Louis Rams
While the trip to London was surely full of fun and games, Sunday was purely a business trip.
The Patriots dominated the Rams at Wembley Stadium, 45-7, moving to 5-3 at the midway point of their season.
Tom Brady put on a vintage performance for the London crowd, throwing four touchdowns and posting a season-high passer rating of 131.1.
Rob Gronkowski marched to the tune of eight receptions for 146 yards and two entertaining touchdowns.
And while the pass defense gave us a scare early on, the Patriots tightened up and completely shut down former No. 1 overall pick Sam Bradford as well as three-time Pro Bowl running back Steven Jackson.
The resounding victory gives the Patriots plenty to be happy about as they head into their bye week and should allow them to get healthier for the home stretch.

I wear these all the time. Have a hard time finding comfortable, affordable shoes. My first pair was a wide but I haven't seen that size since. Please, Meijer, order some in wide. There are a LOT of us looking for the wider sizes - that customer base is there!My first pair was black, and they are looking really sad from all the use. Navy would be great if you can get them, and please keep the black. The only thing that I don't like about these shoes are the tan ones. Don't care for that color on these shoes, but a dark brown might look nice. And I'd like the white better, if it was completely white, with no gray accents. Just my personal preference.Please keep ordering these Meijer! Many of your customers are counting on you. :)

Not for winter use/snow piling up on sole turning to ice causing you to fall when entering building. Purchased them because the fit my feet. Have a bunion on 1 foot and hammertoe on the oher and was pleased that they felt comfortable without having to pay hundreds of dollars for that comfort. was hoping to wear them all the time until I realized the problem with the sole and the snow.

Beats Easy Spirit Hands Down
By Ironclaw
from Naperville, IL
These shoes are "very" comfortable and true to size. The gel heel insert makes it feel like you are walking on a cloud and gives you more support. The elastic on both sides prevents the back from flopping up and down when you are walking. Much more comfortable than the more expensive Easy Spirit brand of shoes.
Great Shoes
By Conyeah
from Lake George, Mi
These shoes are great. I have a navy pair from a few years ago and wear them alot. When I saw them in white this Spring......I bought them right away. I have a wide foot and bunions which makes purchasing shoes difficult. I never am able to buy shoes that aren't wide width. These don't come in a wide width, but they fit me anyway. I am waiting for them to go on sale to purchase another pair. I would highly recommend them to anyone with problem feet.

Session fixation In this fictional case, the online trading server checks to see only whether a valid session ID is present on the user's system. If not, the online trading server issues a new session ID, and, worse, let's say it does so in advance of a user authenticating his or her identity. This scenario allows a criminal to log in to that stock site, grab a freshly minted session ID, then turn around and e-mail the online stock site's URL--with that session ID appended to it--to several hundred customers of that site. Some of the recipients then click the link and in doing so, share their new session ID with the criminal. This allows him to eavesdrop on their transactions and, in this case, make a transaction.
Session fixation takes advantage of two things: one, the promiscuous nature of the Web applications handing out a session ID prior to authenticating the user; and two, the laziness of the some Web application in issuing a new session ID. Con artists already know about setting session IDs, and when combined with financial services sites, the results can be damaging.
Penny stocks, anyone? A variant of the above scenario was presented at Black Hat. Researchers Chuck Willis and Rohy Belani of Mandiant, a security vendor, outlined one case study in which a real online stock broker found that several of its customers reported buying the same penny stock without their knowledge. Through forensic investigations, the researchers learned that all the illegitimate trades were identified with the same session ID, even though the users had individually logged in to their own accounts via their own IP addresses. Who ever did this then used the common session ID to log in to the stock site and begin executing a script that bought shares of that penny stock every 5 seconds.
With hundreds of people buying thousands of shares, the value of that penny stock quickly rose. What the researchers learned was that the potential number of victims could have been close to 1,000, but that many of the victims didn't bother to report the activity--they all stood to benefit from this trade; that is, if they sold quickly. But the few that did report it as suspicious helped lead the investigators to a phishing e-mail sent before the trade occurred. Within the e-mail, presumably from the online trading site, was a URL with the now-famous session ID tacked on the end. In this case, the investigation ended there, with the criminal cloaked among the hundreds who made a little money off the whole event.
Sophisticated phishing attacks Session IDs are supposed to make online transactions secure. Sometimes, though, they can come back and bite the Web applications using them, especially if they're not implemented properly. It's important to note that almost every attack scenario using session fixation involves the criminal contacting the victim and including a preset session ID within the target URL.
As long as the victim doesn't click the link in the e-mail, the attack isn't successful. But many people do fall for these sophisticated phishing attacks. If you view the source of the e-mail, the URL is legitimate--if you click it, you will connect to the proper Web site. Only the details at the end of the URL may be confusing. For example, the characters ?SID followed by a random number-letter combination would be a session-fixation attack.
What can be done? On the Web server side, applications should not accept session identifiers from GET / POST variables or referrers from other sites, they should not accept session IDs not generated by the server accepting the sessions, and they should set expiration time-outs for all session IDs. Web servers should also not issue session IDs prior to authentication, nor should they reuse old session IDs. Every authenticated session should be unique. For more a detailed look at this topic, see this PDF file from Acros security; it's one of the first papers to coin the phrase session fixation.
For the end user, the obvious still holds true: Don't click finance-related links sent to you via e-mail, even if the address appears to be legit.

When the nation's chiropractors descended on Chicago for a weeklong convention in May 1956, they threw a beauty contest.
The judges crowned Lois Conway, 18, Miss Correct Posture. Second place went to Marianne Caba, 16, according to an account in the Chicago Tribune. Ruth Swenson, 26, came in third.
But this was no ordinary pageant.

"August 1st will be another day that will destroy investor confidence just like the May 6th [2010] flash crash."
That rather ominous sounding pronouncement comes from Joseph Saluzzi, co-head of equity trading at Themis Trading LLC in Chatham, N.J., in a Bloomberg News report about what happened early this morning on Wall Street.
For the first time ever, the United States Postal Service has defaulted on a payment to the Treasury.
The USPS warned of a default in a statement on Monday. It it would not make the $5.5 billion payment due today and that it would also default on a $5.6 billion payment due Sept. 30. Both of those payments are federally mandated and go toward prefunding retiree health benefits.

The Olympics are a quest to be the best. But some Olympians are accused of purposely playing badly at badminton. The Badminton World Federation has launched disciplinary proceedings against four women's doubles pairs. First, the world champions, who are Chinese, faced off against opponents from South Korea. And spectators started booing when the players seemed to be making simple errors on purpose.
British cyclist Bradley Wiggins has won the gold medal in the men's individual time trial event, beating Germany's Tony Martin by 42 seconds. He took 50 minutes and 39 seconds to cover the course of 49 kilometers (just under 30.5 miles).
Martin took silver, and the bronze went to Britain's Chris Froome, who played a vital support role as Wiggins' teammate in his Tour de France victory last month.
Good morning. Things are hopping at the London Games, with 20 medal events today. And conversations are still buzzing about the scandal in Olympic badminton, over players intentionally throwing matches. Here are some highlights from this morning's news:
- The U.S. women's quadruple sculls team has won a bronze medal, ending a 28-year American medal drought in the sport. It's also only the second U.S. medal.
Originally published on Wed August 1, 2012 12:08 pm
Eight Olympic badminton athletes have been thrown out of the London Games after being charged by the Badminton World Federation with "not using one's best efforts to win a match" — which is against the rules of the sport. Because even some journalists may have forgotten badminton's rules, it seemed time to take a fresh look.
In London today the Swedish heir to a fortune worth billions of dollars pleaded guilty to "preventing the lawful and decent burial of his wife" and the court heard that Eva Rausing's body may have been lying beneath "bin bags, clothing and bed linen" for as long as two months, the BBC reports.

On the 20th February the allocations of the £10million support scheme to local authorities will be confirmed!
We hope all of our customers can benefit from this, and for more information on how to protect your business from future floods we have collated a list of useful websites:

BES Commercial Electricity price freeze puts pressure on the Big Six
With Britain's largest energy suppliers expected to announce price increases ahead of winter, BES Commercial Electricity has announced a price freeze on their electricity tariffs until spring 2014. This month SSE, Centrica and npower have already announced an increase in their tariffs and other suppliers are expected to follow suit in the coming days. However, the BES Commercial Electricity price guarantee gives customers peace of mind, ensuring they can continue to focus on their businesses without having to worry about increasing electricity costs.
Founded by Directors Andy Pilley and Michelle Davidson, BES Commercial Electricity is part of the BES Utilities Group which supplies gas, electricity and most recently, telecom- munications to businesses nationwide. Since its formation, the Group of companies has seen strong growth, currently employing over 250 local people.
"The likelihood of further electricity price increases from the Big Six suppliers will undoubtedly increase the pressure on small businesses who are already struggling with rising costs. Because of this, we feel that it can only be beneficial for us to promise our customers that they will not experience any electricity price rises this winter."
says Andy Pilley.
"It also means that our customers can continue doing what they do best and focus on running their businesses without having to worry about their electricity bills."
Michelle Davidson
comments, "With businesses looking to protect themselves from winter price hikes, the battle is on for smaller suppliers to safeguard consumers during this period of economic hardship."
"As a growing independent energy supplier, we understand that the rise in cost of energy affects us all and many customers are worried in how it will affect their bills."
"BES Commercial Electricity understands exactly what our customers want, and with our flexible, responsive approach, we deliver outstanding customer service and first-rate customer care."

Although this article doesn't pertain so much to first year college students, or those boarding for high school studies where most furniture is supplied in dorm living; this blog focuses more on the student returning this school season with a more definitive approach on his or her's future.
We can't think of better items for study and work than our American made solid wood desk furniture. Providing your child or yourself with a product that will not only last beyond the school years, but also instill a powerful conscious decision that will help our next generation understand, touch, and feel apart of the difference between products made domestically to cheap overseas pieces that resemble how they're made — with a vicious method in business regulation and employee satisfaction — which is found to be almost non-existent.
The more we pump money into a system far away from here where we can't see to feel bad about, the more we need to start to look around, grow a heart for ourselves, and leave Washington politics and executive money hunger to the 1% making the billions we admire.
Let us start our young budding professionals on the right path. Don't buy cheap furniture for them from China or Vietnam, buy them something their kids will not only be able to use but feel honored about. A piece of furniture that has meaning, its not something you know you'll throw away in a few years to a landfill already past its limit.
Consider Manchester Wood as your leading provider in American made solid wood furniture.

DALLAS (Ticker) -- Two straight double-digit comebacks proved too much for No. 3 Texas.
Andre Emmett had 30 points and a season-high 11 rebounds and Nathan Doudney recorded career highs with 28 points and seven 3-pointers as Texas Tech snapped its 13-game skid against Texas with a 92-81 quarterfinal triumph in the Big 12 Conference tournament.
"Texas has beaten us twice during the year and now they've got to come back and play us a third time," Texas Tech coach Bob Knight said. "I think the fact they had beaten us twice worked a little bit in our favor and not quite in theirs. Maybe it detracts a little bit from their preparedness for the game."
Kasib Powell registered a triple-double with 12 points, a career-high 12 rebounds and 10 assists for the Red Raiders (18-11), who will meet Oklahoma in Saturday's semifinals and likely need to win the title here to earn a spot in the NCAA Tournament.
"I think they (Texas) thought they were going to be able to pressure us a lot," Powell said. "We just moved the ball around and just got it to the open person. Will (Chavis) and Nathan hit a lot of open shots and that just opened up everything to us."
Chavis hit 3-of-5 from beyond the arc.
Texas rallied from a 15-point deficit last Saturday to earn the second seed in the conference tournament with an important 76-71 victory at Oklahoma.
On Friday, Emmett converted a pair of free throws with 2:19 left in the first half as Texas Tech outscored Texas, 31-17, during a 12-minute span and opened a 48-28 cushion. That marked the first time Texas had trailed by 20 in an opening half this season.
"I'm not sure you can call them upsets," Texas coach Rick Barnes said. "I think tournament play - especially conference tournament play - it can happen. That's why you have these tournaments. Texas Tech played as well as any team we've played all year."
Emmett hit 12-of-21 from the floor (57 percent) in the contest, matching a Big 12 tournament record for field goals made.
Doudney already had established career highs at halftime with 17 points, six field goals and five 3-pointers.
"Doudney has been really disappointing over the course of the year, right from the beginning," Knight said. "He played well last night and that's why when we went today to decide on a starting lineup really Doudney would not have gotten the vote. And I ended up casting the deciding ballot on the thing because he had played well last night."
After contributing just six points on 2-of-8 shooting in the first half, T.J. Ford finished with 23 points and eight assists as Texas pulled within 80-74 with 3:37 to play.
"We didn't come out with the intensity," the Texas point guard said. "They came out and set the tempo and usually, when you establish tempo early, the game will go your way."
The Longhorns (22-6) lost for just the third time in 42 games against intrastate rivals during coach Rick Barnes' five seasons and may have cost themselves a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament.

During my years at Penn State, I had the opportunity to spend a semester living in Rome to study urban design. What ensued were four months of sipping cappuccino, teaching myself how to paint and draw, and a lot of incredible pizza. Italian pizza is light, with a thin crust and topped with fresh ingredients. This pizza is our grain-free version of the pizza I so often enjoyed in Italy.
- 1 1 Egg
- 1 whole 1 whole Roma Tomato, thinly sliced
- 1 tsp 1 tsp Basil, dried
- 1 tsp 1 tsp Oregano, dried
- 1 tsp 1 tsp Olive Oil, Extra Virgin
- 1 whole 1 whole Eggplant, grated
- 1/2 cup 1/2 cup Arugula
- 1/4 cup 1/4 cup Almond Meal
- 1/4 cup 1/4 cup Flax Seed Meal
- 1/4 lb 1/4 lb Prosciutto
- 1 tsp 1 tsp Salt and Pepper, to taste
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Grate eggplant with a cheese grater, discarding the skin.
- Place grated eggplant in a clean dish towel, and squeeze over a sink to remove excess liquid.
- Pour grated eggplant into a large mixing bowl.
- Add in the flax meal and almond meal.
- Whisk egg in a smaller bowl and add to batter.
- Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Mix until ingredients are evenly combined.
- Pour batter onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Smooth batter out with hands into a thin layer about 1/8 inch thick.
- Bake crust for 30–35 minutes.
- Remove the crust from oven.
- Lightly grease another piece of parchment paper with olive oil, and place on top of crust.
- Carefully flip the crust and then slowly peel off the parchment paper from the bottom side.
- Brush the flipped side lightly with olive oil.
- Bake opposite side for about 15 minutes.
- Remove from oven and apply toppings and spices.
- Bake for an additional 7–10 minutes, then serve.
The pizza will be finished once the tomatoes have cooked down and the prosciutto has 'wilted'.

5.0L Performance Packages-363 Stroker
5.0L Stock vs. Modified 363 EFI
If a 347 is good, then a 363 must be even better, right? Some might be tempted to think the 363 is some kind of over-bore for the 351W block, but it is actuality a big-bore 347 based on the 8.2-inch-deck 302 block. The 363ci comes with a 4.125 bore combined with the common 3.40-inch stroke used on the smaller 347. Dart supplied the SHP short-block, to which we added a set of (big-chamber) AFR 225 heads, a turbo-grind Cam Research solid-roller cam, and TFS Box R upper and lower intake. In truth, this 363 was designed as a turbo motor and eventually exceeded 1,000 hp at 17 psi. In normally aspirated trim with a Holley EFI system, 90mm Accufab throttle body, and Crane Gold rockers, the injected 363 stroker produced 521 hp at 6,600 rpm and 472 lb-ft of torque at 5,100 rpm. Since the AFR heads will support in excess of 650 hp in normally aspirated trim, wilder cam timing designed for an NA application would certainly allow this motor to strut its stuff. With over 500 hp, it was certainly healthy for something that looked like a 302.
5.0L-Stock vs. Modified 363 Carb
The final stroker assembly was another 363, but one dedicated as a normally aspirated combination. The Dart SHP short-block was equipped with flat-top pistons that combined with Dart Pro 1 225 heads with 62cc combustion chambers. Full CNC porting allowed them to flow 325 cfm, more than enough for this stroker application. Cam Research Corp supplied a hot solid-roller cam that featured 0.736 lift (both intake and exhaust), combined with a 256/260-degree duration split and a tight, 105-degree lobe-separation angle. Toss in some 1.7-ratio roller rockers, a Funnel Web intake, and Holley 950 HP carb and you have the makings of a serious street stroker. Once again we relied on Hooker headers, but this combination would certainly have liked something bigger than the 1¾-inch set we had on- hand. After tuning, the Dart-headed 363 stroker produced 564 hp at 6,800 rpm and 487 lb-ft of torque at 5,200 rpm.

There's a great story about Pablo Picasso. Some guy told Picasso he'd pay him to draw a picture on a napkin. Picasso whipped out a pen and banged out a sketch, handed it to the guy, and said, "One million dollars, please." "A million dollars?" the guy exclaimed. "That only took you thirty seconds!" "Yes," said Picasso. "But it took me fifty years to learn how to draw that in thirty seconds."

All your round are belong to us.: Launching Alfred with Caps Lock →
Just… FYI, this doesn't work on Lion.
Caps Lock is stupid. It is the one key on my keyboard that I absolutely believe shouldn't exist. For the past six months, it has been a dead key on my MacBook Pro, which is still better than it's normal function. However, a dead key is a missed opportunity for awesomeness, so today I set out to…
The Clofficet
On January 21st, I began working with the splendid folks at JESS3 as a full-time Designer. As such, I'd begin working from home. I had previously reserved space in our basement to be an office, were I to ever work from home. As time went on, I realized I would not be getting a new job. My wife approached me and asked if she could turn it into a sewing room (yes, my 24-year-old wife is turning 80). I had come to terms with being where I was for a job, so I bequeathed her the room. Not a month later, I got the call from JESS3. Being the kind husband I am, I took it upon myself to turn the hall closet into an office; a "clofficet."
In an effort to save space on the desk, I began an effort to wall-mount my 24" iMac (iMac7,1). Apple offers a VESA-mount adapter kit for iMacs and Cinema Displays, which makes the transition fairly easy… but the instructions aren't very detailed, and many of my Twitter followers asked for explanation on how to do it.
The first hurdle once you get the VESA mount adapter kit, is to use the supplied thick plastic card to "de-spring" the catch that holds the stand in. I missed a photo op for this. You must leave the iMac standing and tilt the screen as far forward (or down) as you can. Then, take the card and place it in the slot between the stand's top and the iMac. I found that it took great force, but really required a 45° angle to get it. Don't worry, depressing the spring will not make your iMac fall to the ground. (Though I recommend placing a pillow beneath the screen for the entire process.)
Now that the stand is loose, lay the iMac face-down on the pillow. Begin un-screwing the stand from the connector using the supplied Allen wrench.
Once disconnected, you'll be left with a bare connector:
Now, place the adapter onto the connector and screw it in.
Then, place the VESA-adapter onto the connector and attach screws.
Then, place your VESA mount onto the iMac and attach with screws. I bought the Adjustable Tilting/Swiveling Wall Mount Bracket for LCD Plasma Corner Friendly (Max 80Lbs, 24~37inch). It does the job and weighs in at a thrifty $27.86 USD.
Mount your arm/wall-plate onto your wall and make it ready for the iMac. (Make sure you attach the mount to a stud.)
Then, attach the iMac to the mount and you're good to go.
I, with the help of my father-in-law, custom fitted a desk to the existing shelving supports in the closet. While the desk was staining, I used a TV-dinner-tray to hold the keyboard, mouse, and two hard drives as I wiped my iMac to give it a fresh start.
Stained desk in place. Next up was to populate the desk with items I'd be using frequently. I've always used two monitors when working, in this small space, I cannot fit another monitor in. In lieu of this, I've recycled the iMac stand for an iPad stand, by adding a strip of velcro the iPad and the stand. I'm still going to add some more lighting to the back of the iMac (LED strips) and I'm going to finish with a shelf above the computer to house files and other equipment. Overall, I'm pleased with it.
Jack, the Christmas Elf, saved Christmas.
Christmas was almost ruined.*
*Seriously, though, it wouldn't have ruined Christmas.
There, an exaggerative line of drama to snag your attention for what could be a long story. I'll start from the beginning: I asked my dad for a Kinect for Christmas. Yes, this year's hot tech item. Like a Tickle-Me-Elmo scenario, the Kinect was sold out locally and even many online retailers. ( Yes, I know they are in stock now; they were not then. ) My father is at work whilst searching and cannot browse the web there except on his iPhone, which isn't made to be used for prolonged periods of time. So, he calls MicrosoftStore who claims to have a fair amount of the Kinect and -like bundles at their disposal.
He selects his bundle of Kinect and a game. The woman on the receiver takes down his credit card information. Incorrectly. My father banks with PNC, who are quite over-protective of their bankers. ( Better than not, I suppose. ) PNC notices a bad expiration date on the process and freezes his card. The MicrosoftStore employee gets notice of this, and my father puts her on hold. He then calls PNC, waives the flag, and resumes his call with the MicrosoftStore employee. She says it'll get there before Christmas, they exchange salutations and part their ways.
Dad is content. A few days later he got a shipping notice. He got his son what he wanted for Christmas. Super-Dad.
Then, Kryptonite struck.
MicrosoftStore, not long after sending a shipping notice, sent an email notifying him that his order was on hold. Why? An error with his credit card. ( Keep in mind my father provided his information for an employee to enter, he never manually entered anything himself. ) He quickly called them to resolve the issue. A gentlemen answered and listened to his troubles, only responding that their "system" was down and they would call him when it comes back up. Fast-forward to the end of that day. After receiving no call, my father calls them. The "system" was back up, but the employee told my father that they no longer had the products in stock and they canceled his order because of the problem with the credit card. He asks to talk to a supervisor, who offers no help.
Dad is livid. I could tell he felt defeated.
I did what I could. I live on the internet. I know many companies use Twitter for support. I know that the companies who do, usually have their Twitter support at a corporate-level. I hunt down @MicrosoftStore on Twitter and send out a, rather irritated, public tweet mentioning them. They end up getting in touch with me after a few more rants. I point them to my father, and they say they'll get in touch.
A day later, they have yet to call him. I send an angry direct message reading:
My father received no phone call from you, over 24 hours later. Would a letter to Consumerist help spur you to action?
Suddenly, he received a call. Now, I'm not saying that this "threat" worked. It could well be that they just happened to finally have time to get in touch with him. However, it was nice timing. This is where the story takes a nice turn.
My father spoke for a while with a very nice representative by the name of Jack. Jack sorted it all out for him. Apologized, was very polite, and offered to throw in a free Xbox for the trouble they had caused. All is well. My father payed the price of the Kinect + Game bundle and would receive the Xbox + Kinect + Game bundle for no difference in price.
Bad again: My father wakes up to an overdraft notice. MicrosoftStore charged him $360 ( the full price of the Xbox + Kinect + Game bundle ), which was not in his checking. Another direct message on Twitter to them and phone call from Dad. They are going to reimburse the difference when the product ships. Somewhere in this bit of time, Dad speaks to a rep that is not Jack, his name is Dumitro.
Good again: Today, my dad received a call from Jack. Along the way, Dumitro and Jack both were following my father's case, unaware of the other. They both credited my father with the $200 difference, bringing a total of $400 in credits from MicrosoftStore. Jack approached a supervisor about the issue. The supervisor advised Jack that it is Christmas and to let my father receive the bundle free of charge and keep the extra $40 left from the credits.
tl;dr — After trouble with MicrosoftStore, they followed through to make good in the end. And make good they did.
Bad once again: Dad only received one credit. Seems the credit department got a hold of the mistake. Hrm…


text: Anything over 150 miles would make them useless for the 60 kWh cars so I really hope they are not spaced any further than that. I really don't understand their plan for Washington State. You can't just put one in Spokane because that's almost 300 miles from Seattle (plus you need to get over the Cascade Mountains!). We absolutely MUST have a Supercharger somewhere in the middle of the state in order to be able to cross the state. I've heard rumors of Ellensburg but I think that is still too far away from Spokane. Vantage Washington would be ideal since it would allow travel to both Spokane as well as Pullman.
