It took long enough, but warm weather has finally made it to Seattle.
Friday night I put SO on a flight to Miami so he could deal with his
mother's condo. Prior to driving to the airport, we had dinner at a
small Indonesian restaurant in the neighborhood. Excellent food. We
both had mini-rijstafels with beef rendang, vegetables and tofu in a
coconut milk sauce, and a good corn fritter. The latter was a flat lacy
pancake of mostly corn kernels. It was so good that I may never eat
hush puppies again.
Now that SO is safely ensconced in Miami, the zucchini festival has
begun! I picked up 4 at a produce stand on my way back from the
Triathlon team walk/2nd breakfast Saturday morning. I had one as a side
with a lamb shoulder chop braised with tomato, fava beans, and red wine
(shiraz, not chianti). I have to go to a potluck on Tuesday night, so I
may make some zucchini bread.
Tonight's dinner will be chicken. I found a recipe for grilled chicken
with sweet and sour sherry sauce in one of the Minimalist cookbooks, but
I'm not particularly hungry--or motivated to do much cooking, since I
spent 2 hours whacking at the front yard this afternoon. I've also
declared today the beginning of iced tea season, and made up a pitcher
for personal consumption.
It's pretty quiet here without SO. Our elder statescat was scratching
on the office door Friday night looking for him. The other cat is
staying near me for company. I'm not used to being able to rummage in
the closet for my clothes in the morning, since he's generally sound
asleep at that time--or trying to be. He'll be back next Saturday. Ten
days after his return, I leave for NY for my college reunion and a
family visit, so he can have an anchovy festival in my absence.

I bought this swing as a gift for my friend 's baby girl , she loved it , the colours are bright and it's easy to assemble . I would highly recommend this item .
Simple to build, Simple to use, Silent swing motion. My newborn loves the gentle swinging motion ... Keeps her calm.
My daughter's new baby was very difficult to settle as she didn't like to be put down. However when the seat arrived (very quickly ) we put her in and she was asleep within a minute, she finds it very soothing.. Love it! As it's portable you can take it round the house so that you can get on with little jobs while keeping a close eye on baby. It does click quite loudly to turn ithe speed of rocking up or down but this wouldn't normally wake her up just startles her occasionally.
This product is brilliant it was so easy to put together and its folds up easily to jeep out of way when not in use my 4 week old boy loves it the swinging motion sends him to sleep with no fuss :-D

As a young man, Weckmann studied and traveled with Schütz, quickly becoming exposed to Italian influences. Weckmann spent the majority of his career in Hamburg, a melting pot of nationalities and rich with superb musicians from Germany, Italy, and beyond. We have selected instrumental works by Italian composers who may have influenced Weckmann's music during his study, such as Gabrieli, Castello, Frescobaldi, and Ferro; as well as pieces by influential German composers such as Hammerschmidt, Froberger, and Weckmann himself. This lush, virtuosic music beautifully represents the collaboratory atmosphere in place during Weckmann's lifetime.

I love blueberries! I think they may be my favorite fruit. But, you know, I've never been a big fan of blueberry muffins - at least not of 'traditional' blueberry muffins. Many, to me, are kind of like yellow cake with some blueberries tossed in. Not that there's anything wrong with that - it's just not what I prefer.
Now these, these blueberry muffins - I love! I was so excited to find this recipe. These muffins have a wonderful flavor and a moist, dense texture. Not at all like cake - more like a moist and flavorful bran muffin. And that's what I love about them. Oh, and you know what else? They're actually pretty healthy! Made with ground oats, whole wheat flour, and just a touch of white flour (2/3 of a cup), they're {mostly} whole grain. To make them even more guilt-free, I replaced the small amount of canola oil (1/4 of a cup) in the original recipe with unsweetened applesauce.
I've been eating one of these muffins for my after-school snack every day this week. Yum! I find it kind of funny that the original source of this recipe is a cookbook about cooking for your baby. I'm certainly not a baby, but I sure love these muffins! Young or 'old,' I think you'll find these muffins to be a tasty treat.
Blueberry Oatmeal Muffins
Source: Adapted from First Foods: Baby Steps to a Lifetime of Healthy Eating, as published by Cooking Light magazine
1 2/3 c. quick-cooking oats
2/3 c. all-purpose flour
1/2 c. whole wheat flour
3/4 c. light brown sugar
2 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda
3/4 tsp. salt
1 1/2 c. buttermilk
1/4 c. unsweetened apple sauce (or canola oil)
2 eggs
2 c. blueberries + 2 T. all-purpose flour
1. Place oats in a food processor; pulse a few times until they are like coarse cornmeal. Place in a large bowl. Add flours, brown sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; stir well.
2. In a separate bowl, combine buttermilk, eggs, and applesauce (or oil). Make a well in the center of the dry ingredient mixture; add wet ingredients and stir just until moist.
3. Toss berries with the 2 T. of flour and gently fold into the batter.
4. Spoon batter into 16 muffin cups coated with cooking spray, filling the cups pretty full.
5. Bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes, or until muffins spring back when lightly touched in the center. Remove from pans immediately. (NOTE: If desired, muffins tops may be sprinkled with a bit of granulated or turbinado sugar prior to baking.)

Help for individuals
Dealing with Redundancy
Whatever your personal circumstances, unemployment can be an anxious, uncertain time, particularly for those who have always been in a job. Apart from considerations of how to make ends meet, you will face a range of issues including working out what benefits, if any, you are entitled to, how to start your job search, and whether you should pursue your former career or retrain for something new.
Job Centre Plus can offer help and advice about benefits, including Job Seekers Allowance, and job search. To claim benefits you must first register with them by phoning 0800 0 55 66 88 and booking an appointment with an advisor.
You will be asked about your employment history and the types of work you're seeking. If appropriate, you can also pick up claim forms for income support or housing benefit.
The DirectGov website has valuable information about coping with redundancy.
Looking for a Job
Job Centre Plus offer help and advice on job search and vacancies. The Jobcentre Plus Job Kit gives you step by step advice on finding a new job - including planning your job hunt, identifying your skills and tips on completing applications and going to interviews. Download the Jobcentre Plus Job Kit (PDF)
Finding your first job
Looking for your first job is a big step, especially in the current economic climate. There are lots of opportunities for those leaving school, college and university, but positions will be in demand - so it's vital to get good advice and to follow up on all options available. For detailed advice and support, go to the DirectGov website.
The local Connexions service offers advice, guidance and information to young people on careers and employment. Visit DirectGov for more information.
Skills and Training

My life in the kitchen got significantly more complicated today
Dh went to see my naturopath last week. Today he called with the results of his allergy panel. It wasn't good.
He's off the charts allergic to milk, and mildly allergic to eggs. This one's no biggie. I've got those and have figured out the substitutions, so he'll just eat what I do.
But he's also allergic to almonds, coconuts, pinto beans and navy beans.
The beans I could care less about. He hates beans and I never cook with them. Ever.
But I use almond and coconut milk, almond flour, coconut sugar, coconut oil. I can't do grains due to blood sugar and digestive issues when I have them. So all my baking is done with alternative flours--like almond and coconut. I use coconut sugar to manage my blood sugar issues. Coconut oil instead of butter. UGH!
I guess I will just have to bake 2 versions of whatever "bread" or dessert item I make. I usually have rice milk on hand as well, but it doesn't do as well in baking since it's so much thinner.
Allergies are the pits.

Aw, man!!!
That's really difficult!!!
If he is ONLY allergic to coconut & almond, not all tree nuts, there are other nut flours that are very delicious. I've used pecan meal and hazelnut flour; I found sesame flour at an Asian market.
When I worked as a vegan chef, I really liked using cashew butter as a "cream" in soups & other recipes. Sometimes as a butter in baking. Sigh...I know it won't work to fry an egg in, like coconut oil would. But it's VERY creamy...more so than almond butter or coconut butter, IMO. Makes a great milk, too. Oh, and I've used it to make an UNBELIEVABLE gravy!!!
And if you're not allergic to seeds (sorry, I don't remember all of your allergies), you would have tahini & sunflower butter to work with, as well as sesame and sunflower oils, which I have heard are pretty healthy.
Coconut sugar comes from the sap of the flower, not the coconut itself, so is it possible he wouldn't be allergic to it?
Have you ever tried ghee? I know some people who are allergic to dairy (casein and lactose) can handle ghee because all the milk solids are strained out.
Sorry for these complications. I hope your DH experiences some nice improvements in his health, though, once he eliminates these allergens.

Oh ick! It's difficult enough preparing foods special for yourself. I still prepare most of my foods separate from the rest of the fam. just because I can't afford to do otherwise. I'm working on it though. I'm sure you'll figure it out. Maybe try once a week cooking fixing your foods one day and his on another?

Wow sorry to hear this! Allergies suck - speaking from first hand!
I love Pirate Jenny! She is Schmarty McSchmartipants!!! Great ideas girl!!!
Another thing they should have told you, to add to complications...is if you are allergic, it helps TREMENDOUSLY to follow a rotation diet. That means you don't eat the same family of foods within 3 days of the previous exposure. So you can eat the same thing every 4 days. That is ALL foods, not just the ones you have allergy or sensitivity to (you omit those foods entirely).
The easy way I figured out to do this is to use a Food Rotation List:
1. Came up with a minimum of 4 protein families I could eat without sensitivity or allergy (I came up with more, but you need to find a minimum of 4.)
2. Come up with a minimum of 4 plant families to eat without sensitivity or allergy
(i.e. Legumes, Mustards, Parsley, Potato, Grass, Lily, Gourds, Palm, Citrus, Cashew, Nuts, Beech, etc)
3. Come up with a list of oils (at least 4)
4. Come up with a list of fruits (at least 4)
5. Come up with a list of grains (at least 4) (optional and would be better to omit entirely)
6. Come up with a list of starches (at least 4) (optional and would be better to omit entirely)
Once you have a complete list of the groups he can eat, then to keep it simple at first you make a rotation chart and plug in the groups. At first I just kept it easy:
1. Monday = Beef, Olive Oil, Summer Squash and Lettuce Day (I would have 3 meals in that day with various parts from those groups. Then I would wait a minimum of 3 days in between before repeating anything from those groups.)
2. Tuesday = Chicken, Ghee, Mustards (I would have 3 meals in that day with various parts from those groups. Then I would wait a minimum of 3 days in between before repeating anything from those groups.)
3. Wednesday = Pork, Palm Kernel Oil, Gourds (I would have 3 meals in that day with various parts from those groups. Then I would wait a minimum of 3 days in between before repeating anything from those groups.)
4. Thursday = Bison, Avocado, Lily, Nightshades (I would have 3 meals in that day with various parts from those groups. Then I would wait a minimum of 3 days in between before repeating anything from those groups.)
5. Friday = Fish, Beet, Citrus, Grass Family for Rice Bran Oil (I would have 3 meals in that day with various parts from those groups. Then I would wait a minimum of 3 days in between before repeating anything from those groups.) OR Repeat Monday's Rotation
6. Saturday = Repeat Tuesday's Rotation
7. Sunday = Repeat Wednesday's Rotation
See where I'm going with this? AT first, don't try to be too tricky. Just pick one family and eat from that family - all the different members of that family for 3 -5 meals during the day. Then avoid that family for a future 3 days before having it again.
It's hard but the improvements you see are crazy awesome!
Also, allergies are cumulative. Sometimes if you can break the worst ones, you can break the cycle and then tolerate lesser allergens and sensitivities down the road.
Good luck!

However, it dawns on me that breads and cakes freeze well. Maybe it wouldn't be so much trouble if you doubled a recipe as you made it? Maybe you could bake yours and your husband's favorite breads alternately, but freeze half each time you bake, so that on a day that one of you had fresh-baked bread, at least the other one would know they could still reach in the freezer for their favorite, too?

PJ, I'm allergic to cashew and sunflower. It's not like we could have lined them up, lol. I asked about ghee, and he said he'd rather we not, because while in theory all the milk solids are strained out, there could still be some in there. But that once we are healed from the damage from the allergies, it might be an option. Earth Balance Soy Free spread is pretty good, and I can get it locally at my WM, so I'm really not too worried about subbing butter--I just really like coconut oil. And I wondered that about the sugar too, since it's from the sap and not the fruit. I'll have to ask.
But I will check into the other nut flowers.
And I may just have to do baking for me on my UD's and him on my DD's. LOL DD made muffins with regular wheat, no egg or dairy last night, and I ate it, but this am my feet hurt when I got out of bed and my hands are puffy. My body just doesn't like wheat, so just using reg flour isn't going to work.
I JUST (as in Monday) got a new cookbook in the mail that I was SO excited about because it had lots of almond flour/coconut flour recipes in, with great info on subbing out other flours/milk subs/egg subs. I'll still be able to use it as a base, but not just pick up and use.
Thanks for the hugs and sympathy. I know I'll figure it out. I just miss the days when I could pick up a cookbook, fix anything that sounded good, and not give it another thought. It's hard on the kids too, because a lot of their old favorites are off the menu now, since they are too hard to make with all the substitutions.

Pooticus, that sounds completely and totally overwhelming to me right now. I've read about doing that, but I can't wrap my head around it right now. Thank you for the detailed info on how to do it though. When I'm ready, I'll revisit that.
I could live without any bread items and dessert only occasionally. But I have a really hard time getting my UD cals in without a grain free muffin or sandwich roll at at least one meal. And my 14yo daughter LOVES to bake. She's been great about learning all our substitutions, and dh loves when she bakes for him. So maybe I'll just let her do his stuff, and then make and freeze things for me.

special diets are difficult...in the beginning but it really does get easier as you both get used to it. My autistic son was GF/CF (wheat free, milk free) plus peanut free (he's sensitive but not dangerously) for the last 11 years of his life. We are in the process of changing his diet to low glycemic and possibly Atkins in the future to help deal with his seizures. There are lots of good milk and egg free cookbooks out there (check Amazon). Best of luck, it will all work out.

That is...just...unfair!!!
It sounds like neither of you are allergic to soy, though?
Or sesame? Tahini is so good...
I have heard of a wondrous Black Bean Chocolate Cake, that could perhaps be made with black soy beans instead.
Oh, and I *love* chick pea flour!!!
Can you guys eat chickpeas (garbanzo beans)?
It is used quite extensively in Indian cooking, including pancakes and fudge!
Bob's Red Mill has a lot of the alternative flours I use, including soy, hazelnut, and chickpea.
Again, sorry you are feeling so overwhelmed and I hope these suggestions aren't adding to that feeling.

PJ, keep the suggestions coming. I do have some garbanzo bean flour in my pantry. It has a bit of a strong flavor, but is ok if it's not the main flour in a mix. I also got a Bob's general gluten free mix. Not sure what flours are in that, but it will probably work. I'm just going to have to probably give a little on my no grains and at least do rice flour, and likely potato. More carbs than I would like, but it's not like I eat it every day and in mass quantities.

Pecan meal makes awesome chocolate cake!
I would try a pecan, hazelnut, flax, soy mix to bake with if he needs low carb. Sounds like wheat is okay for him so you can add wheat gluten too.

I would be careful here, accepting this stuff without question.
I had a very reputable allergist do all the tests on me years ago. I am allergic to various tree and grass pollen, which I know. Fine.
But I am also off the charts allergic to both kinds of dust mites. He says. This should lead to trouble in bed, using pillows, etc. Supposedly you have to put special covers on your mattress and pillows, wash all bedding in very hot water often, never have carpet in your bedroom, etc.
Well, I never did any of that. I hate those pillow covers. I have carpet in the bedroom and don't vacuum under the bed well. My mattress is 20 years old. And I am never bothered with allergies in bed. Well, not never, maybe 5-10 times a year, when my pollen allergies are kicking up.
In other words, I am sure I am NOT allergic to dust mites, no matter what the tests said.
And the tests said I have NO mold allergies at all, and I know that's not true either. I have always had a reaction to some molds.
So pay attention and get him to pay attention and check this out. Does he believe those results? If he does all that, does it make any difference that he can tell? If you reintroduce things, do they bother him?
You know, if he can't tell the difference, I would seriously think about ignoring some of those instructions.
Often I don't come back to read threads where I've posted. If you want me to see something, please send me a private message. Thanks!

ravenrose, I agree to a point with what you are saying. But allergies can cause issues in our bodies that we can't see or feel, and yet that doesn't necessarily mean they are not affecting us. Inflammation (systemic, chronic) is one of those things. My dh has heart disease and has NO observable risk factors. When he was 44, he survived a 99% blockage in the "Widowmaker" artery (so named because it governs blood flow to 40% of the heart, and not many survive a blockage there). He had a stent placed. At the time, his cholesterol was 126, blood pressure normal, crp normal, weight normal, activity greater than normal, etc. His only observable risk factor was stress. But if allergies were causing inflammation, that could have been enough, along with the stress to cause damage in the artery allowing the clot to form.
I know for me, when I cut out the allergenic foods, even though I had no overt symptoms and really saw no improvement without them, my inflammation markers dropped significantly and my cholesterol went down 40 points. And that's the only change I made.
So on the one hand, I'd love to be able to say that since it doesn't seem like those things bother me, I can eat them anyway. On the other, well, the test results are pretty compelling.

I think your clever DD will be a wonderful help. How lovely that she enjoys baking. You must be a great mother.

Quote: Let's learn from our mistakes
"I'm not happy. I think we shot ourselves in the foot in some games, but we can't dwell on that. This offseason, we have to find ourselves and find out what went wrong, learn from them and get ready for next year."
– Muhammad Wilkerson responding to ESPN NY's Rich Cimini whether he is happy with the Jets season
Saw this on GGN and I'm pretty sure that this would make my day:
"Jets line up 3rd and goal from the 1 with BossHogg at HB and Wilkshake at FB. Geno hands off to BossHogg who fakes the run then completes a TD pass to Wilkshake in the flat. "
As Jet fans we can all use some holiday cheer...and this is it !
Offseason? Did somebody say offseason? Well we officially 79 days away from Free Agency, and for the Jets it's very simple make Jimmy Graham an offer that makes him the highest paid TE in football and hope to God he says yes and stay healthy.
Nothing that a solid QB, LG, CB, & WR wouldn't help.
Classic question from Rich. Who's gonna say yes? Then when u say no, hopefully u give a quote that I can spin into a negative story. Good answer by Mo. Don't feed the troll
We're not happy either, but you're not the problem, Mo.
@1969JAN12th I would run through my living room wall if that happened.
@here2win I'd rather address TE and WR in the draft. Use FA to help with this awful secondary and bring in a QB that can tie his own shoes.
@DarrolRayFanClub Although thats the answer you would expect didnt Holmes say he didnt care? I find it hard to believe that was his answer though.
A man after my own heart.
This draft has a strong WR group and is pretty good at TE as well.
I could see Idzik drafting 3 WR's with his throw a crapload of players at a position approach.
@levi @DarrolRayFanClub I can't find that online anywhere, do you have a link?
@djf1 Well, I think Winters is a project too...and a crappy one at that :/
@MikeFrancesser@a57se and have them inactive all year.
@a57se Hopefully it's not another situation where he throws picks 3-7 at projects....I'd really like to get some longer term stability at safety too, but that might be too much for one draft.
Holmes is either the smartest dumb person or the dumbest smart person.
@DarrolRayFanClub Jeez he does have a way of saying stupid things to the media doesnt he.
@Brendan No, it was being discussed here the other day though. Maybe it was complete BS. I figured it was at least taken out of context.

would Willa be misheard as Willow?
Hi all,
It just occurred to me that the name Willa might be a nice reference to my maiden name (Wilkinson). I've always thought it was a lovely name, i like the Willa Cather connection, and i don't know why i took me so long to realise the link to my maiden name! Anyway, i have a slight concern that people will always mishear it as Willow which is becoming popular-ish in the Uk so would be much more recognisable than Willa. I do like the name Willow but i don't feel i can have a Juniper and a Willow! So, will she/i forever be correcting people? Should i just have it as a middle name option?~ Mama to Juniper Elise and Arlo Edward James ~

Possibly, if you live in a location where that end sound gets dropped...but I don't think it would be constant. I think it really depends how much an occasional correction would bother you. Willa is gorgeous!

FrogWatch is part of a national volunteer monitoring program hosted by Nature Canada and Environment Canada to identify ecological changes that may be affecting our environment. Frogs are a particularly suitable indicator species because they spend part of their life in water and part on land. Unlike many other organisms, they are affected by changes to either environment.
FrogWatch participants of all ages can help scientists monitor Canada's frog populations. All you have to do is listen to frogs calling at a pond — or even at the cottage or in your back yard — on a number of evenings over the calling season, record your findings on the FrogWatch data form, and submit the results to your provincial or territorial FrogWatch co-ordinator.

Josh Alford of Brandon, Miss., might be only 15 years old, but he learned something last season that some wildlife managers two or three times his age often forget, which is to never say never.
Conventional wisdom dictates that when a property's doe-to-buck ratio is heavily laden with females, mature males will not reach their potential for antler development and body weights. Thus, many game biologists recommend a liberal doe harvest with the goal of creating a 3-to-1 or even a 1-to-1 ratio.
The doe-to-buck ratio in Yazoo County, Miss., where Josh was hunting last December, was nearly 17-to-1. Or at least that's what the Brandon High School football player saw from his ladder stand facing a 200-yard-long food plot: 33 does and two bucks.
By the time he left, there was one less of each.
"Seeing that many deer in one day is NOT ordinary," he added. "I usually see only seven or eight, at most. Deer were running everywhere."
Josh had already shot a big doe when this rut-worn, 200-pound stud came onto the food plot at 5:06 p.m. The teenager wasted no time in taking the 120-yard, quartering-away shot with his 7mm-08.
"I didn't really look at the rack before I squeezed the trigger," he said. "I had no idea the antlers were that big. I've never been so happy in my life!"
Josh's buck took first place in both the youth and Mississippi divisions of the big buck contest held by Simmons' Sporting Goods in Bastrop, La. By the BTR's yardstick, the 16-pointer's true gross is 197 1/8 inches, and it falls in the semi-irregular category.
The rest of the story will appear in Rack magazine next fall.

6 Filmmaking Tips from Kimberly PeirceFeatures By Scott Beggs on October 18, 2013 | Be the First To Comment
It's a shame that Kimberly Peirce has only made three feature films in 14 years. Boys Don't Cry was a stunner of a debut, announcing a bold new talent to keep tabs on. Stop-Loss wasn't quite as strong but it was still absolutely powerful enough to make her a sophomore with a bright future. For whatever reason, that future dimmed, but with Carrie coming out this weekend, it hopefully puts Peirce back on track to be artistically in our lives far more often. After all, it was her name that provided a much-needed legitimacy to a remake no one was asking for (of a De Palma film no less) and the optimism that the story could tackle difficult interpersonal drama underneath all the blood-drenched screaming. It's fantastic to have her back, so here's a bit of free film school (for fans and filmmakers alike) from a director who has been away too long.
Good Remake News: Kimberly Peirce May Be the One to Remake 'Carrie'In Development By Jack Giroux on January 4, 2012 | Comments (3)
We've all heard the grumblings and complaints over the prospect of a new remake of Brian De Palma's adaptation of Carrie. What's to care about with this remake? We've already got a pretty perfect adaptation. But now some of us can care, with the news that Kimberly Peirce could possibly be at the helm. Peirce is both an odd and kind of perfect choice for this project. Her acclaimed Boys Don't Cry and lesser acclaimed but still pretty good Stop-Loss are both what one could call psychological horror movies, and Carrie very much is that. Peirce seems adept crafting films that chronicle young people going through a tough time, so she makes for an oddly suitable fit, really. MGM and Screen Gems are supposedly interested in a "gritty" take, despite the story involving a girl using psychic powers. Peirce, clearly being a lover of making all things gritty and realistic, could probably give them the realism they (oddly) want. Deadline Hermon is currently reporting she's "in talks" to direct, and I certainly hope that deal goes through.

Stop-Loss Movie ReviewMovie Reviews By Kevin Carr on March 28, 2008 | Comments (9)
I am getting so tired of these movies about the war in Iraq. But Hollywood isn't. And they are doing exactly what they're accusing George W. Bush of doing – not listening to the American people. But like John Stewart pointed out at the Oscars, it's Hollywood's job to stay the course and keep making these movies. [Grade: C-]

We also run through our April Movie Preview, giving you a good list of the films you should be marking on your calendar — as well, we expose Kevin's undying love for UFC fighters in bikini bottoms. Oh, and there is another stupid parody movie coming out — we take a moment to explain the pile of suck that is Superhero Movie.
SXSW Movie Review: Stop-LossFeatures By Brian C. Gibson on March 14, 2008 | Comments (10)

These Mustang clutch kits from Latemodel Restoration are a great way to get your American muscle car in gear! These kits from top brands such as Exedy, Spec D, Ford Racing and Ram include everything you need to replace a chattering, slipping, or worn out clutch.

Choose from stock factory replacement, stage 1, stage 2, stage 3, twin disc, high performance, and extreme performance Mustang clutch kits for your setup.

Get everything you need to finish your installation like Mustang clutch forks, alignment tools, pressure plates, and many other clutch related items.
latemodelrestoration.com SVE Performance 5.0 Resto
[MUSIC PLAYING] If you're in the market for a new clutch for your 1996 to 2014 Mustang V8, well, we're going to cover some of the differences in clutches throughout those model years and some of the things you need to look out for. That way you can pick out a new clutch for your Mustang and get the right one the first time.
The first set of differences we want to cover is going to be stages, starting out with Stage 0, or stock replacement. And those clutches are just that-- a stock replacement for a stock car that's doing stock things. Not a clutch that you're going to want to put in a performance car. These clutches are going to have stock pedal effort, and they're going to have perfect driveability characteristics. So this is a clutch that you want to put in your daily driver car that has no mods.
Stepping up from that, you're going to go to your Stage 1. And your Stage 1 clutch is going to have a little bit firmer pedal effort than stock, but not harsh by any means. And the friction material is going to be a little bit more aggressive . These clutches are going to handle up to 400 rear-wheel horsepower, so it'll cover a lot of your bolt-ons and some of your heavier mods. However, a Stage 1 clutch is not going to live very long if you're running drag radials or full slicks. And it's definitely not the clutch you want to put in your car if you're taking it to the track.
Stage 2, that's going to get you into the 500 rear-wheel horsepower capability range. The pedal effort is going to be comparable to a Stage 1, but your disc friction material is going to be upgraded. Typically those clutches either have an aggressive, organic friction material or a dual-friction type, where it's organic on one side, semi-metallic or ceramometallic on the other, or even just a full-on ceramometallic on both sides. These clutches are going to chatter a little bit when taking off, but they will handle some limited use with sticky tires, like drag radials or slicks, at the track. So this would be the clutch that you would want to look at hard if you frequent the drag strip a lot.
Now for your big power-handling capabilities, you can go to a Stage 3, which is still a single-disc clutch. But it is going to have a hard pedal effort. It is going to chatter. It's going to handle up to about 600 rear-wheel horsepower. These clutches, Stage 2 and Stage 3 both, you're going to want to run a billet steel or billet aluminum flywheel, because the aggressiveness of the friction material is going to eat up a stock-type flywheel pretty quickly. Beyond your Stage 3 single-disk, you get into your dual-disk, which that's a whole other video. We're focusing just on single-disc right now, as that is pretty much your most popular.
Now we'll talk out differences in diameters. As you're '96 to 2000 all used a 10 and 1/2-inch diameter clutch, even some of your early 2001s would've still had a 10 and 1/2-inch diameter clutch. Starting in 2001 and carrying all the way through 2014, all your V8 cars are going to have an 11-inch clutch.
On your spline counts, pretty much everything from '96 to 2010 is all going to be a 10-spline, except for like your GT500s, which did have a 26-spline from the factory. Starting in 2011 to 2014 in your Coyote cars, you ended up with an oddball 23-spline. And that comprises your factory-type spline counts.
Now if you're upgrading to a TKO or a Magnum T-56, or even have a '03-'04 Cobra that you've upgraded the input shaft on, then you're going to want to get a 26-spline clutch. And that doesn't matter what year you're running, from '96 to '04, any one of those transmissions or your '03-'04 Cobra upgrade, it's going to require a 26-spline disc.
Any time you install a new clutch, you'll either want to resurface your existing flywheel or purchase a new one. That way you've got a nice true mating surface, so you don't have any defects or performance issues with your new clutch.
Accessories in the box at a minimum. For your '96 to '04 cars, it's going to include a clutch alignment tool and a release bearing. Some clutch kits even include a new pilot bearing. Now for your '05 to '14 cars, most of them only come with an alignment tool.
Now some clutches do include a new performance-style release bearing. And if you see a difference in price on clutches, that's typically what it is in the '05 to '14 range, is the inclusion of that new hydraulic release bearing. A new hydraulic release bearing typically is not required with your Stage 1 or Stage 2 clutch upgrades. Getting into a Stage 3, you might want to look at something like a performance unit from either Exedy or RAM.
Finally, I want to talk about differences in pressure plate bolts, and even the number of bolts. Your 10 and 1/2-inch clutches are all going to be six-bolt pressure plates, and they're going to use a smaller standard-thread bolt. Starting with your 11-inch clutch, you're going to retain a six-bolt pressure plate, but you're moving up to a larger metric bolt.
That metric bolt carries all the way through to early 2011, while in late 2011, Ford went to a nine-bolt pressure plate. It kind of threw things off a little bit. Nobody was used to seeing that. But that nine-bolt pattern did carry through to 2014. A lot of your aftermarket flywheels are going to be the nine-bolt pattern. Don't worry-- a six-bolt pattern, '11 to '14 clutch, will bolt right up to a nine-bolt pattern flywheel with no issue.

Guest Post: Social Justice, Economic Vitality and the California Dream
By Manuel Pastor, University of Southern California
As part of our 75th anniversary, Irvine commissioned a series of posts from California experts and thought leaders about the state's most important trends and how we might collectively respond to them. This post is the last in the series. We invite you to read other posts in the series and share your reactions below.
The lore of California has been one of a place of plenty — abundant harvests, growing industries, excesses of land and opportunity. While that vision has not always rung true for some, in the last few years, many in the state are starting to question if there is, indeed, enough to go around. It's little wonder they wonder: earnings for those in the bottom four-fifths of the state's income distribution have been falling for decades, and the current recession has left gaping holes in both our state budget and our private hopes.
My colleague, Angela Glover Blackwell, and I have a saying — it's more hers than mine, but she's a sharer — "equity is the superior growth model." It's not just warm-hearted rhetoric: Using sophisticated statistical techniques, we have been able to demonstrate that metropolitan regions that pay attention to reducing inequality and racial segregation experience more sustained economic expansion, with our seemingly controversial results confirmed by none other than the Cleveland Federal Reserve.Read more >>

Uganda's government has selected two of the four proposals from international companies bidding to build and construct the country's first refinery and related infrastructure in the Lake Albert region of Buseruka Subcounty, Hoima District, Uganda (OGJ Online, June 4, 2014; Dec. 2, 2013; Feb. 2, 2010).
The two bidders that have been invited to progress to the next stage of the tender process are the consortia led by South Korea's SK Group and Russia's RT Global Resources, Uganda's Ministry of Energy and Mineral Development (MEMD) announced on June 24.
Following negotiations with the two bidders, the Ugandan government will issue a request from the consortia for their best and final offers, which must be submitted by the end of August 2014, according to F.A. Kabagambe-Kaliisa, permanent secretary of MEMD.
"Government will then negotiate the principal project agreements with the highest-scoring preferred bidder and, once executed, [advance] the development of the project," the secretary added.
The proposed 60,000-b/d refinery, which will be developed in two, 30,000-b/d phases, will include on-site crude oil and product storage as well as a 205-km product pipeline to a distribution terminal near Kampala (OGJ Online, June 4, 2014).
The Ugandan government will hold 40% equity in the project, while the winning bidder, as lead investor and operator, will hold the remaining 60%.
The refinery will be designed to process Uganda's waxy crude oil (23-33° API, 0.16 wt% sulfur) produced from the Albertine basin to serve petroleum product markets in Uganda, Congo (former Zaire), South Sudan, Rwanda, Burundi, Kenya, and Tanzania, according to MEMD.
Financial close on the project is scheduled for second-half 2015, with the first phase of the refinery due to be commissioned sometime in 2017-18, MEMD said (OGJ Online, June 4, 2014).

Washington, DC (AP) -- Officials in Washington say Oak Ridge National Laboratory will get a one million dollar share of a federal grant for biofuels research.
Agriculture Secretary Mike Johanns and Energy Secretary Samuel Bodman announced eleven projects and a grant award totaling $8.3 million for research that will accelerate the development of alternative fuel resources.
In this second year of the program, new research projects on cordgrass, rice, switchgrass, sorghum, poplar, and perennial grasses join the portfolio of research on poplar, alfalfa and wheat.
Governor Bredesen's proposed state budget for next year allocates nearly $73 million dollars to biofuel projects. That includes a $40 million dollar pilot switchgrass ethanol plant. The ethanol refinery would be operated by the University of Tennessee and Oak Ridge National Laboratory.
The governor has said investing in biofuels can give farmers added bargaining power with crops that could end up as ethanol, provide new business opportunities and help the state become less dependent on petroleum.

YAGMs are coming!
The Rev. Kate Warn
The Rev. Kate Warn is the country coordinator for the ELCA's new Young Adults in Global Mission program in Rwanda. To support Kate, or another of the ELCA's over 240 missionaries in the global church, click here.
Greetings from Kigali!
YAGM's are coming! That's the message I've been sharing these days with our brothers and sisters in the Lutheran Church in Rwanda. The term "YAGM" – Young Adults in Global Mission – doesn't translate easily in the Kinyarwandan language, but the message is simple. Six young adults from the U.S. will be arriving in August and they will be living, learning and serving here for one year.
Last week I started a round of visitations to the placement sites we've identified for the YAGM's. Four young men and two young women will be scattered throughout the country: northeast, southeast, in Kigali, and in the far west. For the first time in the history of the YAGM throughout the world, we will have more men than women serving in one country. I met the six members of the Rwanda team in April at the YAGM discernment event near Chicago and feel excited by the energy, gifts, interests and commitments they will bring to Rwanda.
The Lutheran Church in Rwanda has limited experience with missionaries, as the church was founded by Rwandese returning from exile after the 1994 genocide. In the past 20 years, relationships have been formed and sustained between the Lutheran Church in Rwanda and Lutherans in the U.S. primarily through short-term visits – Americans visiting Rwanda for a week or two, and Rwandese in the U.S. for brief stays. The YAGM program will provide opportunities for relationships between the two churches to go much deeper, as the young adults from the U.S. will immerse themselves for a year in the daily lives of our brothers and sisters in Rwanda. I'm enthused about this new way of being in partnership in mission.
I'm also impressed and grateful for the ways the Lutheran Church in Rwanda has stepped up in faith and embraced the YAGM program without really knowing all the details. I've had many questions in my meetings and conversations with church members: Will a young person from the U.S. be able to eat our food? Do they know how to wash clothes like we do (i.e., without machines)? Can they buy Rwandan medical insurance? What will happen if they get sick?
In my conversations here, I often say that when brothers and sisters from different places come together in the body of Christ, we open space between us for God to do new things. As I prepare and wait for the first group of Young Adults in Global Mission to arrive in Kigali, I do believe God is doing a new thing. Soon we'll have stories to tell! In the meantime, I invite your prayers for Lars, Luke, Jake, Ryan, Sarah and Emily as they prepare to come to East Africa in August.
In Christ's peace,
Kate Warn
Rwanda Country Coordinator

Guilty Until Proven Innocent: 12 Things I Wish I Had Known Before Being Falsely Accused
Boulder, CO — Until you're accused of a crime, you may be blissfully ignorant of the fact that "innocent until proven guilty" is a myth. In reality, it's the opposite. Michelle Gesse, whose husband lived the nightmare of being falsely accused of a felony, explains what all Americans need to know now about the criminal justice system. The scary part of this story is how easily it could happen to any one of us. Steven and Michelle Gesse thought that the small dinner party they hosted on the night of April 5, 2009, would be just that: an informal, pleasant gathering of neighbors over good food and good wine. Instead, it turned out to be the beginning of a nightmarish spiral into a confusing and frightening justice system that in practice, if not in theory, considers you to be guilty until proven innocent.

Jeremy Abbott won his fourth U.S. figure skating title and all but locked up his second Olympic berth.
Teenager Jason Brown was second Sunday. The Americans will send two men to the Sochi Games, and while U.S. Figure Skating officials will look at past performances in picking the team, they are unlikely to deviate from the standings.
Defending champion Max Aaron was third.
Skating last, Abbott had a cushion of nearly 13 points on Aaron after the short program, and once he landed a quadruple toe loop to open the free skate, the Olympic berth was in his grasp.
Since winning his last U.S. title two years ago, Abbott had struggled as he overhauled his training regimen. But a brilliant short program Friday put him back on top.
