Frequently Asked Questions
Q. What is a CSA?
A. CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture.
A CSA is a new social model that connects you to your food, the land, and to those that tend the soil. CSA is an economic system that allows you to make a direct connection with a family farm, a farm you know, a farm that adopts careful land stewardship practices and produces exceptional food.
The benefits of a CSA based food system are many. Besides providing fresh locally grown produce, CSA farms provide non-farmers with an understanding of the challenges and rewards of farming. You participate in the risks and uncertainties of farming as well as sharing the bountiful harvests. Having direct contact with the land through your food and your farm can be a tremendously rewarding experience.
Belonging to Mountain Bounty Farm benefits you, your family, the local economy and the environment.
Q. Why subscribe to a CSA?
A. Taste and quality are superior. By being closer both geographically and temporally to the harvest you will receive fresher food. Most of our produce gets to you either the day it was picked or the next day (some vegetables benefit from a night in the cooler). Fresher veggies taste better and are more nutritious. Taste is an indicator of nutrition — what you experience as good flavor is high levels of vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients. Generally fruits and vegetables that taste better are fresher and were more carefully grown. CSA membership is also a big incentive to improve eating habits, eat more vegetables and experiment with new things you might not normally try… however most of the veggies are familiar, staple veggies like lettuce, tomatoes, carrots, broccoli, and corn.
You're also creating a direct relationship with a local farm family and supporting that farm. Many CSA members find a sense of satisfaction in going directly to their farmer for their food. Over time CSA members develop a relationship with their farm. As farmers this is also particularly rewarding. We love to see kids growing up on our produce. We've had parents eating our produce since before their kids were born whose children are now getting ready to go to college!
Another reason to subscribe is that it's a great value. Last season we did a detailed price comparison with comparable items at local stores and on average our CSA shares were worth over $6/week more than we charge for them. That's a savings of over $150 over the course of our 24 week season — in addition to the other benefits you receive.
Q. What does a CSA member receive?
A. It depends upon which shares you choose. We offer both summer and winter Vegetable Shares, Summer Fruit Shares, Winter Citrus Shares and a Summer Flower Share. Our Vegetable Share members receive a box of diverse fresh veggies each week, about the equivalent of a large paper grocery bag worth of veggies. See the individual descriptions below for more details about the various shares.
Summer Veggie Share, Summer Fruit Share, Summer Flower Share
Winter Veggie Share, Winter Fruit Share
Q. How much food is in each veggie share?
A. The standard share is about the same size as full brown grocery bag. You can expect 6-15 items depending on the season.
Q. How much does the box weigh?
A. It varies depending on the veggies included from week to week. Some veggies (tomatoes, squash, potatoes, melons) are very heavy, some are light (lettuce, basil). Because of these weight differences, estimating a certain amount of pounds per week can be misleading. For this reason, we prefer to give a volume estimate: your CSA box will be at least 2/3 full (in practice it is often overflowing the second half of the season). This is equivalent to a large paper grocery bag chock full. Fruit is easier to judge by weight; for a Summer Fruit Share you can expect 7+ pounds of delicious fruit. For the Winter Fruit Share, you can expect 10+ pounds per week.
Q. There are just two of us – will it be too much for us? Can I get a half share?
A. We have one size share box. It's generally designed for a small family. Whether or not it fits depends on your eating habits. Most of our members find our share just the right size. For people who eat out a lot it could be too much produce. For people who tend to eat at home or who love cooking and entertaining, it could be not enough. Those who need more produce can sign up for multiple shares. Some members share their share with a friend or neighbor.
Q. What is free choice?
A. On occasion during the Summer Season, there will be a special box with one or more "free choice" items at the Mountain Bounty Farm pick up sites. Free Choice produce includes veggies that are "controversial" – not everybody likes them, for example hot peppers and arugula. Some people are fanatical about them and some would rather leave them behind. The Free Choice box allows members who love arugula and hot peppers to help themselves, and members who don't like arugula and hot peppers to leave them for others. Occasionally we may offer more of something that is already in the box as "free choice." For example, most people want one bunch of broccoli in their box during broccoli season, and if we have an abundance of amazing broccoli as sometimes happens, we will offer it as "free choice." When we do value calculations on the boxes we do not include the free choice produce, so it is a bonus value for those who choose it. The free choice produce can go quickly, so we recommend that if you are really into free choice, try to get to the pickup sites early!
Q. I've heard the season already started, can I start late?
A. We accept signups at any time — if space is available. Please call us as soon as you can: 530-292-3776. Some of the shares sell out in some seasons and we may need to put you on a wait list. Mid season signups are pro-rated based upon how many weeks remain in the season. Please keep in mind that we may have shares available, but that some of our pickup sites may have reached their maximum capacity. To ensure your pickup site, it's always best to sign up early. Since we offer several site options, we can usually find an alternative site nearby that will work for you.
Q. How will we know what's coming up next week in our box? What's in the box?
A. Looking at what came last week is a good indication of what's in season and what you might expect next week. Ordinarily, each week's box includes something different from the previous week as well. We try to offer as much variety as we can. For example, we will not give out beets two weeks in a row. Due to the nature of farming, it can be hard to predict what will exactly be in the box from week to week. At times we make last minute decisions during the harvest process — we want to make sure that you are getting the best possible produce. On a given day a particular item may not be as ripe as we thought it was going to be or it may be too ripe. Or something we didn't expect to be quite ready yet will suddenly need to be picked. As a member, you will receive a weekly email reminding you to pick up your box. This email will include a list of box contents that is almost always accurate, but sometimes we do make those last minute decisions.
Q. What happens when I go out of town?
A. We recommend that you find a friend, neighbor or family member who can pick up your box, and you can ask that they hold it for you or give it to them or make an financial arrangement with them – members away for long portions of time have occasionally sold their remaining shares to someone they know.
Q. Where are the pick up sites and what are the hours?
A. Please note that our Summer and Winter seasons have different days and times! Please click here for details: Pickup Sites, Days and Hours.
Q. Can I change my pickup site to another site?
A. Yes! We can definitely switch your site for the duration of the season– thanks for letting us know at least a week ahead of time as it does affect our logistics. Contact us and we can help to make your switch.
Q. Can I make payments or pay weekly ?
A. Although we do not accept weekly payments, we do have a payment plan option. For a beginning of the season signup, members have the option to pay with three checks. Please contact us for more information. If you would like to propose and alternative payment plan, please contact us. We want to make our system work for everyone.
When you signup online, you can make credit card payments. You can pay the full amount or set up an automatic recurring charge to your checking acct. or credit card. Please note that as a small business, we'd prefer you send us a check to save us the credit card processing fees.
Q. Can I come work on the farm in exchange for shares?
A. Yes, we do have a Work-Trade Program. You work one morning a week from 8am to noon in exchange for your share. If you are interested, please contact us we will be in touch with more information.
Q. What do I do with odd vegetables?
A. First, be sure to read the newsletter that was included with that week's share. More often than not, a recipe will be included that incorporates unusual veggies. If you are still stuck, please give us a call and we can help you find a recipe that may work for you.
Q. I don't like eggplant and can I have more green beans?
A. Because we are a small family operation we make all the boxes the same and we don't have the capacity to individually design the boxes. We recognize that everyone likes different things and throughout the season there will be something you don't like – you don't have to eat everything in your box, it's still a good deal. Also, you might give it to a neighbor, or trade at the pickup site.
Furthermore, if you know you don't like a vegetable and you don't want to think about what to do with it, you can drop it in the free choice box at pickup.
In addition, if there is something that you would like more of, please come to the Nevada City Farmer's Market on Saturday mornings from June-October. We always have a wonderful array of veggies there.
Q. Do you deliver in Truckee and Tahoe if there is a big storm?
A. Because of occasional extreme storms in Truckee/Tahoe, delivery is weather permitting. We try to notify everyone via email if there is a storm that prevents us from meeting our delivery time. However, we can say that we haven't missed a delivery yet due to weather!
Q. Are all of the boxes the same?
A. We spend a lot of time ensuring that each of the boxes is comparable to the others. Please don't go through the boxes at the pickup site.
Q. I have 8 empty share boxes left over in my garage… what do I do with them?
A. Please bring them to the pick up site – we will really appreciate getting them back and it helps us keep costs down. We need to reuse the boxes as long as possible as they cost us about $1.80 each!
Q. I forgot to pickup my shares, will my veggies and fruit be there tomorrow?
A. Our agreement with our site hosts is that our pickup day and times are firm. This means that if you are unable to make it to the pickup site in time, please have a friend, neighbor or co-worker pick up your shares for you. At the end of the appointed pickup hours all leftover produce is donated.
Q. There was nothing when I came to pick up my weekly share.
A. First, please be sure you have arrived during the correct pickup day and time. If you have arrived outside the pickup hours, your shares are not available. However, if you are there on the correct day and within the pickup hours, please contact us immediately and we will help you resolve the problem.
Q. If I'm dissatisfied can I cancel my share?
A. If you are dissatisfied, we would like to know why first. We always appreciate the opportunity to address concerns and help members to understand our process. Please contact us right away with any questions or issues that may have come up.
Q. Can we come visit the farm?
A. Yes, we welcome visitors. We ask that you call to arrange an appointment.
Mountain Bounty Farm is a working farm, so while we love to have people visit and taste the veggies, our availability to give tours may be limited at certain times. Also, we don't schedule tours on weekends.
We also host a harvest festival every fall, usually the second or third Saturday of September. The festival includes a farm tour, tasty treats and plenty of activities for the kids.
Q. I want to order veggies and/or flowers for a special event (wedding, restaurant, catering business, party) – do you supply produce or flowers in other ways than the CSA Membership?
A. We are at the Nevada City Farmer's Market every Saturday from 8:30am to 12:30pm throughout the summer season. Many times, you can find exactly what you need here. If you have a larger more specific request, please contact us, we may be able to assist you with a special order.

The Vampire Diaries Round Table: "Pictures of You"by TV Fanatic Staff at . Comments
The Vampire Diaries invited viewers to the senior prom last night.
Was it a smashing success? Or as much of a letdown as your actual experience at this event?
In this edition of the TV Fanatic Round Table, staff members Matt Richenthal, Steve Marsi, Miranda Wicker, Leigh Raines and Dan Forcella break down "Pictures of You," from the dresses to the Vampire Diaries music to the king, queen and more!
What was your favorite scene of quote from the episode?
Matt: Gotta be Elena referring to Bonnie as a "brain washed crazy person." Come on. We were all thinking it, weren't we?
Miranda: Honorable mention answer: Caroline's "emergency." Silas is on the loose, capable of being absolutely anyone, and in less mature Caroline fashion, her worry is her prom dress. I thought it was a fun moment. Real answer: Silas finally has the cure. Finally. Can we please stop this cure nonsense now? You know, since the season is almost over?
Dan: Stefan and Elena dancing at prom. First, because Stef was doing such a bang up job at working her heart. The gentle touches, the reminders of what she used to have, it all had my heart racing... and I never was never even in love with Stefan Salvatore. But then ultimately it was my favorite moment because emotionless Elena shot the whole thing down with two simple words... "what heart?" She. Is. Fantastic.
Steve: Silas repeated impersonations of people, in particular Jeremy. Fun to watch the actors try to act like themselves, only possessed, and not surprisingly, Steven R. McQueen was the least believable. J/K Jer. What was also great was the tease of him showing his real face at the end. Made his previous illusions feel like less of a plot device.
Leigh: When Rebekah jokingly asked Matt for a busboy position at The Grill. JK but it was definitely a Rebekah moment: that whole sequence of her and Klaus fighting and Elijah giving "Rebekah" the cure only to realize it was Silas. Honorable mention: seeing Jeremy Gilbert again...in a tux was fine but shirtless would've been better.
Who looked the best in his/her prom outfit?
Matt: Rebekah. I don't recall what she was wearing. But the answer is Rebekah.
Miranda: Any occasion that gets the Salvatore brothers in a tux is alright by me. Those two know how to rock the formal wear.
Dan: Rebekah is an absolute smoke show. Like most colors, yellow worked for Claire Holt here.
Steve: Ian Somerhalder. I don't remember a thing about what he was wearing but someone on this Round Table panel has to speak for 93 percent of TV Fanatic readers.
Leigh: Caroline for the win. That dress was old Hollywood glamour to the max. Perfection.
Matt and Bonnie and Prom King and Queen: the right call?
Matt: Matt was the obvious choice. Hello... varsity jacket?!? Find me another student with more spirit. Bonnie, conversely, has not smiled in a calendar year and has spent more time on the local college campus these days than in her own high school. Epic fail here, voters. Why not throw a bone April's way? Her frickin dad just died!
Miranda: I'd say weird call. How did Matt have time to get himself on the ballot with all the double shifts at The Grill? (Apparently he really IS manager at The Grill if he has the power to offer Rebecca a job! That explains why we haven't seen him in weeks.) Bonnie as Prom Queen had the potential to be very Carrie. Props to April for not cowering to Elena's threats, though, even if she did almost die.
Dan: Absolutely not. Was it vote for the lamest people at school? Is that how prom king and queen works?
Steve: Agree with Matt on Matt. Guy has been through a lot and still rocks that varsity jacket like a BOSS. Plus, he theoretically still goes to the school, unlike anyone else, Bon-Bon included.
Leigh: Umm... Bonnie is never even at school. Totally implausible. I think Matt is a viable candidate but I really saw Caroline as prom queen.
Would you want Caroline to plan your wedding?
Matt: Wait... can I be marrying the wedding planner? If so, yes.
Miranda: Absolutely. The girl knows how to throw a kick ass event. And on short notice, too!
Dan: No. Even Caroline didn't enjoy herself at the event. The prom looked nice on the surface, but didn't anyone really have a good time? I'm getting Jennifer Lopez to plan my wedding.
Steve: No chance. Because knowing her track record, people will die. DIE.
Leigh: Haha! She's like a blonde Monica Geller on vampire steroids. She'd plan a really pretty wedding but would give me a heart attack in the process. I'll pass
How should Damon and Stefan scare the humanity back into Elena?
Matt: Four words: Honey. Boo. Boo. Child.
Miranda: Clowns?? Spiders?? An eternity of listening to polka music? Can't they just let the vervain leave her system and then just have Klaus or Rebekah compel her to turn her humanity back on?? I guess that just doesn't make for good television because it's using common sense. They've got her locked up and should probably let Bonnie take it from here. Scary Bonnie has some scary skills.
Dan: It might not be working at the moment, but I'm having too much fun watching the two bros attempt to get her emotions going by working her heart like a speed bag. Would working fear into the equation be as interesting to watch? I don't think so.
Steve: Force her to watch Kim Kardashian and her family's reality shows on endless loop. Realizing that this kind of thing passes for TV nowadays will make her nauseous, jaded and disheartened.
Leigh: They both love her too much and she knows it. It would probably only scare her if they left her. Otherwise they should leave the fear stuff to Bonnie. That was intense.
Scariest part of the episode: Silas' face, April nearly dying or the prom song selection?
Matt: The prom song selection. Could Mystic Fall not afford Pauly D as DJ?!?
Miranda: Hitchcock once said "There is no terror in the bang, only in the anticipation of it." I think that may be true here, but since we only saw a sliver of Silas' face, I can't be sure. Since he's been so many other faces lately, I'm not sure what I anticipated him to look like. I'm still going with Silas' face, though.
Dan: The scariest part of the episode was imagining Silas bringing back all the dead supernaturals and realizing I might have to sit through more Jeremy Gilbert. That's frightening.
Steve: Silas' face. April nearly dies all the time and the new Rihanna song is actually pretty good. Maybe not your standard prom material ... but it did set a chilling tone, no?
Leigh: That prom song selection was miserable. Could care less about Silas. As far as April I'd say her outfit was scarier than anything else involving her.
I loved the emotionless Elaine. Her hanging out with Reebeccia. Their growing friendship.And,Elaine trying to kill her friends.And,it would suck if they turn her the way she was. I love this Elaine. She got a backbone. Turn Caroline back human not Elaine.
I loved the emotionless Elaine. Her shoting everyone down. Biting April. Trying
Some parts sound pretty interesting of this episode but the memory of that is still dead and long gone. I still keep wondering when the show will get better even thought there will be scars left behind. ;P =]
I think we should ep of Supernatural Here Jermey might been in Crowly having a hardtime after one got outjust think when Silas does a mass prison Break I think we might see Alaric there too
I actually wasnt a fan of Carolines dress... well her dress was cute but it just wasnt flattering on her at all. It made her look boxy. I actually thought Bonnie's dress was the best... she looked awesome. Elena was second. I didnt really think Yellow looked that great on rebekah. A light blue dress would have looked much better.
1) What was your favorite scene of quote from the episode?
Elijah, Rebekah and Klaus discussing their future plans concerning the cure. I love how these siblings always stick together, no matter how ugly everything became between them in the meantime. 2) Who looked the best in his/her prom outfit?
Caroline hands down! She wanted to be "princess of monaco hot" and she nailed it. 3) Matt and Bonnie and Prom King and Queen: the right call?
Matt: yes. Bonnie: so wrong. Did the writers give her this just so she could win at least something? 4) Would you want Caroline to plan your wedding?
Yes, of course. 5) How should Damon and Stefan scare the humanity back into Elena?
Don't care. At all. 6) Scariest part of the episode: Silas' face, April nearly dying or the prom song selection?
Song selection. Because the other two choices were boring as hell.
1. Elena shooting down everyone around her! Love her like this!
2. I know im in a Minority but I have to say Bonnie! Caroline and Rebekah have had better dresses! And Elena sorta cheated!
3. NO! Ok maybe Matt deserved it, but this could've been a big moment for Caroline or Rebekah but instead Bonnie Bloody Benett won..
4. As long as she keeps other supernaturals away, yes! Then again it will probably be a disaster!
5. Show her a video of the Biebz doing pelvic thrusts on an endless loop. I mean that would scare ANYONE!
6. The Prom song selection, ugh, Season 1 and 2 had the perfect songs making moments so memorable, its all gone downhill from there. Silas had a creepy voice but they didnt show enough of his face imo. Who cares about April dying ugh?
1.Fav scene
-Stefan and Elena dancing, it was so moving. And right behind by a quarter of inch it the Caro-Stefan dance.
-The Elijah-Klaus dagger scene really strong.
-The letter from Katarina was great as well.
2.Best looking!?
Jeremy and Caroline! Hot as hell.
3.Matt and Bonnie!?
-Really sweet! the 2 had a hard time. and I'm glad for them.
4.Caroline planning my wedding!
You mean OUR wedding. Of course she can do it all night long.
5.Scaring Humanity into Elena.
-That is an interesting approach E21 will be interesting and reading the guide for E22 it seems it will work.
6.Scariest part!
-The songs beside Stay. ;)
The Rihanna song was perfect!! Loved that it played during my couples dance! Stelena FTW! That was hot! :)
2. Caroline
3. No.
4. Yes
6. Song selection

"The sauce was too sweet for me. I will probably try making it again but with half the brown sugar next time. The pork was nice and tender and veggies were nice. I added potatoes and zucchini half way through and then served with bread."
"I didn't have lemon grass but even without it this recipe was very good. Will definitely try to find lemon grass for next time!"
"Sorry, I'm not sure if it was the lemon juice we used (out of a bottle) or what, but this did not turn out well at all."
"Made these twice now. They turned out perfect both times. I added a hint of cinnamon the second time which made them even better."
"Amazing! I think this is my new favorite cookie. I've made regular mint chip cookies and not been too impressed, but these I loved. It's almost like a brownie with mint but in a cookie."
"Sooooo good! And easy to make. Giving these away as Christmas gifts."
"I made half the recipe as a test run, looking for rolls to make for thanksgiving. Planning to make more tomorrow! Only issue was they ended up very big and filled up the tray so it was almost like one big bread. I'll spread them out a bit more next time."
"My first risotto, cooked this to have with a breaded white fish. Great flavour and easy to cook, although yes it does take some time. Will definitely make this again. I omitted the parmesan after reading the reviews and deciding I just wanted the lemon taste rather than cheese."
"These were good but could do with something else. If I make them again I would kick up the cinnamon flavour. I didn't add nuts or icing so I think those would help give it something extra."

The food: This refreshingly short menu is interestingly split-focused: dineresque classics such as meatloaf, tomato soup with grilled cheese, mac n cheese and battered fish share space with Peruvian-seasoned roast chicken, ghost-pepper chicken wings, a beet-and-boursin burger and portobello stuffed with quinoa.
We tried a little of each side (after the complimentary cayenne-and-sea-salted popcorn) and found good flavors and nice execution on opening weekend. Exec chef Jamie Lynch, also of 5Church (Nan and Byrons older uptown sibling), and chef de cuisine Marc Jacksina (most recently at Halcyon) have packed a lot of peppers into this lineup, and it seems to be working so far. Beef meatloaf, a thick slab nicely finished with a little caramelization, comes topped with a glob of sriracha ketchup (also offered with the fries), and theres sriracha ranch dressing for your Kitchen Sink salad; poppers are done with peppadews, and the cheeseburger with poblanos.
The look: Check the stamped tin ceiling first, then marvel at a space that was once a fairly rowdy oyster bar. Creamy walls and lots of brick, a long horizontal rectangle full of askew shutters separating bar from dining room, woody tables and long stretches of caramel-colored banquette offer options, though theres no mistaking the sound: Its loud. Fresh flowers in little glass vases are pretty but dysfunctional (servers knocked ours over twice) but the tea-towel napkins are inspired, as are the big metallic mesh circles with lit-element bulbs: warm but contemporary just the ticket.
The service: Super solicitous and super enthusiastic (The smoked poblano dip is super yummy!), ours was a shade long in his descriptions and waxing rhapsodic, but who complains about exuberance? Not me. Plus, he was fast.
The details: Dinner daily for now, with breakfast and lunch on the way; $5 dogs and $17.50 steaks (an 8-ounce piece of prime rib); 1714 South Blvd.; 980-224-7492; www.nanandbyrons.com.

The genetic variability and commonality of neurodevelopmental disease.
Date Published:
May 15, 2010
Recent genetic studies have revealed some common themes: considerable locus heterogeneity, variable expressivity for the same mutation, and a role for multiple disruptive events in the same individual affecting genes in common pathways.


text: Share the post "Meet Layla // Christopher's 600+HP Infiniti G37 Sedan." FacebookTwitterGoogle+PinterestStumbleUpon The relationship between a man and his car is unique to say the least. I have many friends that have no interest in cars and see them simply as transportation. On the flip side, I also have many friends who, like myself, absolutely love our cars. Its not just "transportation", it's the inspiration and motivation to work hard and stay dedicated to our goals. It doesn't matter how much overtime we have to work, how many hours were stuck under the hood or the countless weeks spent researching the best parts. We are dedicated to our cars. With that I'd like to introduce you to Christopher Taylor and his incredible G, affectionately known as "Layla". Photos By: Ryan Cahela exclusively for StanceNation.com Just a quick glance at a car can tell you a lot about it's owner. This G puts down enough power to make sure you only get a quick glance though, but we will get to that shortly. Christopher wanted Layla to look her best so he gave her a face lift. This 2009 G has been fitted with a 2011 front and rear conversion as well as clear side blinkers converted to led, illuminated Skyline door sills, LED daytime running lights and JDM taillights that were darkened with candy paint. Those are just the OEM additions. Now that Layla had her new body, it was time to dress her up a bit. Christopher is a brand loyal car enthusiast. There's a company that goes by the name EXS Access Evolution and they have created quite a reputation for doing wonderful things to G37's. So Christopher gave Layla a full make over. On the front, he added fog lamp rings, front bumper finishers and a carbon front spoiler. From a side view you'll find side steps and gold rear view mirrors. Across the back window is a roof spoiler with a carbon trunk spoiler and carbon rear diffuser being the last pieces you'll see as this G blast past you. Christopher likes fast sedans. His last car, a 2003 MTM Audi RS-6, pushed around 700hp. Now a G37s can be quite an exciting car to drive, but lets be honest, its not going to replace a 700hp habit. Layla needed a performance boost. Any experienced tuner can tell you, you cant just buy a bunch of parts and bolt them together. Research is a must when modifying your vehicle and with careful consideration it was decided that a supercharger would be the best choice. After researching his options, Christopher turned to the pros at GTM Motorsports of California to do the job. Adding boost to an engine that hasn't been properly equipped can be a recipe for disaster. With that in mind, this project was started with a stage 5 short block that increased the VQ from 3.5 to 4.2 liters. The top of the engine was swapped for stage 1 cylinder heads after a micro surface treatment was given to all moving parts. As I stated earlier, Christopher is loyal, so most of these engine modifications were done with either GTM parts or GTM service. With the engine now reinforced, it was time to add the stage 2 (600hp) supercharger and start force feeding the freshly rebuilt motor. A build like this is never an easy task. With everything that has already been installed, this engine is going to need a lot of supportive parts. To help keep the engine at the proper temp is a competition 70mm radiator and thermostatic oil cooler. A GTM return fuel system was teamed with a Aquamist meth injection HSF-4 to keep the new air burning. To keep this air and fuel combination working in harmony is a GTM ECU reflash via Osiris uprev with a HKS knock amp and camp 2 system making sure these cylinders are exploding the way they're supposed to. We all know that when you're pushing major power it makes it difficult to keep traction, so a GTM Racelogic traction control system was installed to make sure Christopher can power through turns with confidence. Even with all the incredible things that have already been mentioned, I'm far from finished with stuff that was done to this car. Layla purrs through GTM 2.5 test pipes, Amuse/Access Evolution Full Titanuim Exhaust with Y pipe, and Quad tips and of course an Amuse Power House R1 Front Pipe. Now, it doesn't matter how much power your car makes if you cant keep it under control. That's where the suspension comes in. Helping to lower the ride height as well as the center of gravity is a set of Aragosta Access Evolution spec coilovers with Aragosta front pillow mounts. When Christopher finds himself faced with an obstacle that could potentially damage his front spoiler, he just lifts the front up with Roberuta front cup kit that was installed by Aragosta in factory. The front suspension has been upgraded with a Cusco front strut bar and a Cusco sway bar held on with Moonface front links. Christopher also chose Cusco for his rear sway bar with SPL providing rear titanium camber arm, traction arm and lockout kit. An Access evolution rear lower brace helps make the rear portion of the chassis rigid. One of Laylas most appealing features is the Work FCV-02. With an MGM center and bronze lips, this color combo gives Layla an organic feel. Squeezing into the fenders with a 20×9.5 +23 front and 20×10.5 +25 in the rear, these wheels, wrapped in 245/30-20 & 275/30-20 Michelein Super Sports, look and fit amazing while still being safe for daily use. When Layla needs to behave, Endless Racing 6 pot front and rear brakes helps slow things down. When you take a moment to really consider what we expect from our automobiles, its hard to understand why you wouldn't want the best for your car. Christopher has taken the time to make sure that his lovely Layla would not only look her best, but could be fit in with even the most exotic of crowds. Hes not finished yet either, he already has a pile of parts waiting for the next time he decides to reinvent Layla. Christopher explains, "The [goal] is to build a 600hp v36 sedan with the most exclusive JDM parts". Sounds like Layla is going to continue to get the treatment she deserves. With that said, Christopher wanted to give out a few thanks for everyone that helped him with the build. Toshi Suzuki from TUS Japan for supplying all of my JDM parts from Access Evolution. Mark Chin from Ravspec for the Work wheels FCV-02. Mike Mikes from Autoarts for the 2011 bumper conversion along with all the aero kit install. Special thanks to Phantasm Kevin who has spent many late nights working on this car! My brother Zeb for the Endless brake install, Aragosta coilovers and cup kit install along with my brother Steve for his help as well with Amuse install as well as the coilovers. 24 Responses Tevi October 12, 2012 Sick beyond belief.

Reply alphaqup January 21, 2013 That just shows how ignorant you are. You could say the same about ANY car based on your statement. The entire idea of customization to a car is to make it your own. YOu have NEVER seen a G37 Sedan that looks like this one and thats that. Body lines yes, but same car, no way. I have a 2013 G37 sedan and still happen to drool over this bad boy. NICE WORK Reply steve_eff October 15, 2012 This thing is a work of art. Reply Tang October 17, 2012 Wow this car is so dope. Inspiration for my 07 V36 Sedan. Reply Jack October 20, 2012 Specs are phenomenal, but the rear camber makes the car look like a joke. Utterly ridiculous. With that drop and suspension, it must feel great going over potholes. Chris, there IS indeed a thing called "going too far". Fail… Reply Elvis October 20, 2012 LOL you are too funny.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

The SECRET to weightloss. It always cracks me up when I see these ads all over the internet. Magic pills, wraps and gimmicks galore. After trying every diet fad there is, I know one diet secret that's works without a doubt!
1. Eat clean! Filling your body with veggies, fruits, lean proteins, complex carbs and healthy fats should be your number one priority. Stay away from fast food, cookies, processed foods and I guarantee a positive change in not only the way you look but the way you feel!
2. WORK out! If it doesn't feel like work, it's not going to make a difference. You need to feel your body getting hotter. Your sweat trying to keep you cool and your breath getting heavier and heavier. 30 mins of this activity daily will do a world of wonders but if you really want "magic" 60-90 mins is the way to go. 20 min warm up/burning sugar with strength training and spend the rest burning fat with cardio!
3. Supplement! People neglect supplementation so much because they get results by eating clean and working out, not realizing that they are missing out by omitting them. Supplements are exactly that, they are to meant to add to and improve your current weight loss plan. They are not "magic diet pills" that allow you to eat McDonald's and keep you losing weight. Some of the best supplements are branched chain amino acids which help preserve lean muscle mass during a change in your diet and improve recovery and rebuilding after a hard cardio/strength training session. Fish oil/conjugated linolic acid (CLA) are awesome because they are healthy fats and I've always know that good fats wash away bad fats. There are so many studies showing how these two decrease fat in your body's composition and they are also great for your hair, skin and nails. Last but not least, a multivitamin is absolutely essential because chances are, you're not getting everything you need in your diet even if you are eating 100% clean! This is especially so if you plan on eliminating a food group from your diet ie. no/low carbs or no meat/dairy.
My personal favorite supplements are Advocare's MNS3(multivitamin), Catalyst(branched chain amino acid), Omegaplex (fish oil), and GNC's CLA. I am not a doctor but the information I provided came from lots of personal research, my personal experience with weightloss and the journeys of the many women I have coached. If you're ever interested in trying Advocare products, I would be happy to talk to you more since I am a distributor. If you're not, I still hope you find this blog helpful. I know there are plenty of products out there that work quite well but for me, Advocare is the best!
Good luck with your journey, no matter where you are and never ever give up!
Wow! Here we are, December 2013.
Goals for the month:
Reach 149 lbs by NYE (right now I'm at 165) I realize that's 16 lbs in a month and 1-2 lbs a day is healthy but with so much excess weight on my small frame, I think it's definitely possible and I won't have to starve myself to reach that goal.
Go from a size 14 to a size 8
Work out EVERY weekday (NO EXCUSES) for at least 30 minutes
Start EVERY morning with a berry spinach protein shake
Lunch will be a soup and a salad with lean protein
Dinner will be lean protein, a veggie and a complex carb
I was really bad over the Thanksgiving holiday but I'm back on board today starting with a banana, strawberry, spinach vanilla protein shake and all of my vitamins. Even though I'm going to make Sundays my "rest" days, I plan to get in the gym today just to offset the damage I did over the weekend.
Alright...let's start this month off right and end this year stronger than it started!
So when I first started Sparkpeople, I created a mantra for myself and called in Mission Cardio Queen. It worked well since it got me from 160s to the 130s so I'm doing it again. At that time, I didn't know much about working out so all my focus was on cardio, usually hitting up the gym an hour at a time. As great as that is for losing weight, I now know the benefits of strength training so do not let the name fool you. I fully intend to incorporate weight training in my new routine.
I started off today with a 30 minute elliptical session and I must admit, it feels amazing to be back. My nutrition was not too bad.
Vanilla protein shake with strawberries, spinach, bananas and cinnamon
Gingerbread Advobar
Romaine and spring mix salad with honey mustand, chicken, gorgonzola, cranberries, and walnuts
Chocolate chip quest bar
Turkey burger on whole wheat bun with spinach
Dessert: Greek vanilla yogurt, marionberries, cinnamon and chocolate PB2
I'd say that was a lot better than my usual diet of egg and cheese cibatta with tatertots, subway for lunch and fast food for dinner. It's all about making healthier changes one day at a time. I'm also taking my Advocare products. Spark is my coffee...it contains the same amount of caffeine but also has 21 vitamins and minerals to keep my energy high for the whole day without feeling jittery. Catalyst I take in the morning and at night. It is a branched chain amino acid that helps preserve lean muscle mass and help you have a more toned and cut look which is exactly what I'm going for. Then there's the MNS (metabolic nutrition system) which is essentially Advocare's vitamin pack. It's loaded with tons of great things: pro-biotic, calcium, thermogenics, multivitamin and fish oil supplements. I'm going to be consistent at taking these three things while eating clean and working out! I'm excited to see my progress especially since I'm planning a trip to Cabo in July 2014. Time to get to work!!!
Man I miss sparkpeople. It was definitely one of the biggest things that kept me motivated. I had made tons of friends in an awesome and supportive community where we all had the same goals and suffered from similar setbacks.
I have been fortunate to meet a few of my spark friends in person.
Keepgoing87 is one of my very best friends and actually sang at my wedding! I love her to death and her story kept me going for quite sometime!
SarahChristine came to visit me while I was in Texas and also while I was in Seattle. She is gorgeous inside and out and it was so nice to meet her and become friends with such a motivating personality.
I am currently coaching Lauren T on a 24 day challenge and even though I met her on SP, we stayed in touch via Facebook. I'm living in WA and she's over in Philadelphia. We followed each other's journeys and when I got married, I fell off SP and also my band wagon to health. Lauren, KEPT GOING! When I was first introduced to Advocare in July 2012, I loved the changes it was making for me so I starting reaching out to all my friends who I thought would love it too. She wasn't intrested at the time but now, with her doing Crossfit, she needed a change in her nutrition and supplementation. Insert Advocare! 5 days into her challenge, she was already seeing and feeling a difference in the definition of her abs. I love hearing stories like these...
Anywho, I'm going to be COMPLETELY transparent with you and let you know that I am NOT where I want to me and it's all because I keep getting in my own way. I coach women and men on Advocare products, specifically the 24 day challenge and see them get amazing results and CONTINUE getting amazing results and the reason is this. The 24 day challenge is NOT a fad diet. It's not like you lose 10 lbs and 10 inches because you're on some crazy diet pill or are starving yourself. It's about eating clean, supplementing and being active. I have done none of the above, consistently anyways for the past 5 months. Trust me, I feel like a huge hypocrite telling people about these amazing, life-changing products when I'm not following it myself. Well, it ends today...actually two days ago.
I've been starting my mornings off with veggie-berry protein shakes and it's made a world of difference. I've been taking all my supplements and I feel SO much better. Funny how taking the right products in combination of clean eating works! Now I need to bump up the activity which I plan to do this weekend.
I started at 166.6 and today I'm 164.6. I would like to see 135 but I'm not going to be obsessed with the scale. I just want to feel great and look great.
It's time to be feel like a bad ass again!
Happy Friday!!!
So it's been a while but just because I haven't been on SP, it definitely doesn't mean I haven't been on my grind. :)
I've developed some very healthy habits, eating clean 80% of the time, cardio 4-5 days a week, strength training 3-4 days a week. I've gone from 168 to 147.2 lbs and even though Im still 12 lbs away from my goal weight of 135, I feel really pleased with myself. Weightloss has been a battle for me in the past but now, I have the attitude that no matter what the scale says, no matter if I feel bloated, no matter if I splurge, as long as I do the work consistently, positive results will come. I'm not striving for perfection, I'm striving for progress and progress is what I have.
I am now an Advocare nutrition coach and I help others to achieve their health and fitness goals. I did a 24 day challenge in May and have been losing weight and inches ever since. I can't say it was easy every step of the way but with the help of my coach, I was able to get on the wagon and stay on for quite some time. :) In December 2011, I was a size 12/14 and now I'm a very happy and healthy size 8. Woohoo! My goal is a 4 but I'm not in a hurry to get there. I'll ride the 8 train for a little while. :)
Anywho, I'll try to get on here more often otherwise you can follow me on Instagram! I upload motivational and accountability pictures quite often. My username is onehotfilipina. :)
Hope to see you all there! Happy Wednesday!!!

Henry for CaracasPUBLISHED: 20 May 2010 00:07:00 | UPDATED: 21 May 2010 09:11:38PUBLISHED: 20 May 2010 PRINT EDITION: 20 May 2010
It is tragic but neither the Federal Treasurer nor the Minister for Finance understand the difference between the bond rate and the much higher cost of investment capital. Even worse is that the top brass in Treasury now advocates increased industry subsidies and financial partnerships with mining houses, i.e. partial nationalisation (May 19). There is a place for Ken Henry and his advisers; it is called Venezuela.

North Gayton extension opens to traffic
The North Gayton Road Extension opened to traffic on Oct. 6, improving access to northwestern Henrico County and relieving traffic on Pouncey Tract Road and at West Broad Street's intersection with Pouncey Tract and Pump roads.
Henrico Department of Public Works officials recommend that motorists use caution as they acclimate to the new road and traffic patterns. Some work by contractors will be ongoing.
The 2.1-mile project has provided a new, divided, six-lane road that extends North Gayton northward from West Broad. After a bridge crossing of Interstate 64, the North Gayton extension narrows to four lanes at a relocated Bacova Drive before linking to Pouncey Tract. In addition, Shady Grove Road has been widened to four lanes between Pouncey Tract and Twin Hickory Road.
The project includes sidewalks and pedestrian and bicycle paths, and, in some areas, curbs and gutters.
The $48 million North Gayton extension project has been funded entirely by Henrico through the bond referendum approved by county voters in 2005. It was pursued as a design-build project through the Virginia Public-Private Transportation Act, which allowed the contractor to plan and construct the road to the county's specifications for a fixed price. The Board of Supervisors in September 2007 approved a contract with a group led by W.C. English of Lynchburg. Construction started in December 2009.
The North Gayton Extension is projected to carry as many as 15,000 vehicles per day.

Firing up a winner
Halligan blends local theme with tasty classics
A Halligan fan for years, I regularly patronized the Shockoe Bottom location before the roomier Short Pump site opened. Call me cornball, but I am a sucker for the decor – dominated by a fire engine with beer taps extending from the sides – as well as the story behind it.
Owner Shawn Gregory, a retired Henrico firefighter, outfitted the Halligan West location with a 1967 fire truck that his own father rode in his early career at the Highland Springs station.
Among other firefighter memorabilia incorporated into the theme are buckets and firefighter helmets suspended from the ceiling to serve as lamps, and fire hoses wound into the railing of the patio. The walls are covered with tools, photos, badges, and memorabilia from fire companies around the country, and Gregory rents a small "VIP" party deck on top of the fire engine and donates proceeds to charity, including a burn foundation. > Read more.

Natalie White wins Survivor: Samoa
"The Game Ain't Over" With a plan of action in place, the last remnants of Foa Foa do everything in their power to get rid of Brett in order to have a shot at the final vote – and fail, causing the need to vote off one of their own. When Brett finally falls, Russell basks in assured victory – but finds himself before a jury that prefers the charmer to the snake.
CUTTING THE MULLET: Shambo Shook Off
"Two Brains Are Better Than One" A two-team split causes concern over Natalie's loyalties at a time when contingency plans are made due to the challenge dominance of Brett, the last pure-blooded Galu member. When Brett saves himself once again, the choice comes down to Mick or Shambo.
FOA FOA FRACTURING? Monica & Dave dumped but Foa Foa afraid of Russell
"Damage Control" – A double boot sees Monica and Dave gone and shrinks old Galu's numbers even further, but as Foa Foa begins to feel comfortable with their control of the game, Jaison and Mick start to rethink their alliance with Russell – possibly giving new life to Brett.
BLASTED OFF: Unfavorable conditions ground John the rocket scientist
"Off With Their Heads!" A Survivor auction makes big winners out of Mick, Natalie, Jaison, and John…but when John can't turn his purchased Hidden Immunity Idol clue into an idol in his hands, Russell takes advantage for yet another blindside vote – possibly alienating Shambo in the process.

Not to burst your bubble... but balloons are less than ideal toys when it comes to safety. They are deadly choking hazards because once swallowed, the latex sticks to the throat and can not be coughed up. Most childcare centers do not even allow balloons on the premises for this reasons. Tots love to bite into the colorful, smooth little orbs and then pop and the little one gives a gasp of surprise and down the throat it goes. Of course a careful and watchful parent can use balloons safely, but they deserve a serious and long winded BEWARE!

This course provides a practical treatment of crystallization technology, presented in light of the many recent advances in the understanding of crystallization processes.
Emphasis will be given to the practical problems of crystallizer operation, and a logical way of understanding the potential and limitations of crystallizer performance will be presented. Both organic and inorganic systems will be treated in batch and continuous mode. Elementary topics in the analytical description of particle-size distributions will be presented.
The treatment will not emphasize the mathematics of particle distributions, but rather the basic principles involved and the results that can be applied.
Practical problems to be considered are Crystal Size Distribution (CSD) and its interaction with crystal habit, purity, and fouling; secondary nucleation; crystallizer configuration, e.g., seeding, classification, fines removal, scale-up considerations, the impact of mixing, polymorphism, crystallizer transients and stability, and online measurement of crystallization parameters. Efficient techniques for scanning crystal growth, nucleation and habit modifiers will be discussed. These problems will be considered from both analytical and operational points of view.
Participants are asked to bring a hand-held calculator to the course.

|Magnolia Green Jumper - Lyssomanes viridis
Family Salticidae - Jumping Spiders
Spider Index | Spider Main | Funnel Web | Orb Web | Nursery Web | Cobweb | Insects
Live adult spiders photographed at southern Florida.
In Florida and other southeastern states, the Magnolia Green Jumper is one of the most easily recognized of all the jumping spiders. Its vibrant green coloring along with that stupendously orange cap and huge, forward-looking eyes give it an eerily cute appearance. But have no doubt, this little spider is a balls-to-the-wall predator, easily hunting and capturing prey many times its own size.
Jumping spiders are small to medium in size, stout-bodied and short-legged, with a distinctive eye pattern. The body is rather hairy (pubescent) and frequently brightly colored or iridescent. Some species are antlike in appearance. The jumping spiders forage for their prey in the daytime. They approach prey slowly and, when a short distance away, make a sudden leap onto the unfortunate animal. They are good jumpers and can leap many times their own body length.
Jumping spiders have excellent vision, with among the highest acuities in invertebrates. The eight eyes are grouped four on the face (the two big Anterior Median eyes in the middle, and two smaller Anterior Lateral eyes to the side), and four on top of the carapace (two medium-sized eyes toward the back, and two very small eyes in front of them). You can think of the Anterior Median eyes (AME) as acting like our fovea, with high acuity but small field of view, and the remaining six eyes acting like our peripheral vision, with lower resolution but broad field of view.
The AME's are long and tubular, which helps their resolution (longer focal length, more magnification) but which means they have a narrow field of view. Since the AME's have a narrow field of view, the spider needs to point them in different directions to see different things. To some extent this is done by moving the carapace, but the eyes can move as well. This is not done by moving the whole 'eyeball', since the lenses of the eyes are actually built into the carapace. Instead the retina moves around, while the lens stays fixed. This retinal movement is accomplished by extremely tiny muscles.
Class Arachnida / Order Araneae: Spiders are the largest group of arachnids. They are easily recognized by their eight legs, and there are few creatures great or small that elicit such irrational fear in mankind. The vast majority of spiders are completely harmless and offer beneficial services, chief of which is keeping the burgeoning insect population in check. I am continually amazed at the resourcefulness of these supremely successful predators.

Get to Know a Soap Opera Star: Sabine Singhby Matt Richenthal at . Comments
We've heard from Colin Egglesfield and reported on two new hunks coming to town. Now, we give you insight into actress Sabine Singh...
