Lessons done and points made, Michelin flagged off the best event of the day: hot lapping Corvette Z06s wearing Michelin Pilot Sport Cup tires, the race rubber that's also approved by our Department of Transportation for street use.
From my notebook: There's nothing this tire refuses to do. It generates tremendous stick and communicates far more clearly than most life mates. Turn-in is crisp and predictable. Braking adhesion lets you add yards to every straightaway. Ten laps on these tires is a calorie-consuming workout because of the significantly higher g-loads, speeds, and control efforts that accompany full use of true racing rubber.
For anyone with any car that's driven only on rare occasions, such as track days or banzai runs down dry back roads, your lucky prayers are answered if Michelin offers Pilot Sport Cup tires appropriate for your pet.
For dessert, I rode a couple of laps with racing great Ron Fellows at the wheel of a ZR-1. I was impressed by his quick and perceptive control inputs. Through any piece of track approximating a straight line, he was dazzingly fast. In transitions and sweepers, he demonstrated the uncanny ability to exploit every micron of traction and then some. His retirement from active participation in motorsports (possibly subject to review) is Team Corvette's loss but a major gain for those who enroll in his driving school.
Furthermore, Fellows is a gentleman with a genuine interest in discussing matters large and small with curious journalists and anxious-to-learn students.

Grand Duchess Olga Feodorovna of Russia (Russian: Ольга Фёдоровна) (20 September 1839 in Karlsruhe – 12 April 1891 in Kharkov, Russian Empire), born Cecilie Auguste, Princess and Margravine of Baden (German: Cäcilie Olga Prinzessin von Baden), was the youngest daughter of Grand Duke Leopold of Baden and Sophie Wilhelmine of Sweden.
She received a strict education at the court of Baden in Karlsruhe, becoming a cultured woman. On 28 August 1857, she married Grand Duke Mikhail Nikolaievich of Russia, the youngest son of Tsar Nicholas I of Russia. Upon her marriage, she converted to the Russian Orthodox faith and took the name Olga Feodorovna with the title of Grand Duchess of Russia.[1] Unusually among the Romanovs of her generation, her marriage was a long and happy union. The couple remained devoted to each other. She raised their seven children with an iron hand.
Between 1862 and 1882, she lived with her husband and their children in the Caucasus in a palace in Tiflis. She was a strong supporter of her husband's governmental activities as a viceroy of the region and she took interest in charities, particularly in the field of female education. In 1882 the family moved back to the Imperial court in St Petersburg to a large palace on the bank of the Neva river. With a strong personality and a sharp tongue, Grand Duchess Olga Feodorova was not a popular member of the Romanov family. She spent the last years of her life traveling frequently, trying to find relief for her failing health. She died of a heart attack while traveling by train to Crimea.
Early life[edit]
Grand Duchess Olga Feodorovna was born on 20 September 1839, in Karlsruhe as Cäcilie Auguste, Princess and Margravine of Baden. She was the youngest daughter among the seven children of Grand Duke Leopold of Baden and Princess Sophie Wilhelmine of Sweden. She was a descendant of King George II of England and the Russian dynasty Rurik Dynasty through Anne of Kiev, Queen of France and daughter of the Kievan Grand Prince Yaroslav the Wise.[2]
Cecilie's father, Grand Duke Leopold, descended from a morganatic branch of the Baden family (his mother was Luise von Heyer, a noblewoman) and thus did not have rights to a princely status or the sovereign rights of the House of Zähringen of Baden. However in 1830 he ascended to the throne of the Grand Duchy of Baden after the main male line of his family died out. Leopold was considered the first German ruler who held in his country's liberal reforms.[2]
Cecilie's mother, Sophie Wilhelmine of Sweden, was a daughter of King Gustav IV Adolf of Sweden and Frederica of Baden, a sister of Elizabeth Alexeievna (Louise of Baden). Unlike her husband, Sophie Wilhelmine supported conservative policies. During the tumult caused by the appearance of Kaspar Hauser, Sophie was rumoured to have ordered Hauser's assassination in 1833. This damaged the relationship between the couple and Sophie was said to have had an affair. Court rumours attributed the paternity of Cecilie, the couple's last child, to a Jewish banker named Haber. No historical evidence has surfaced to confirm this allegation.[2]
During Cecilie's childhood, the 1848-49 revolution forced the Grand ducal family to flee from Karlsruhe to Koblenz. Cecilie was twelve years old at the death of her father in 1852. Princess Cecilie received a Spartan upbringing. Her relationship with her parents was formal rather than affectionate. She would later apply these same principles raising her own children. She grew into a sharp-tongued girl, witty and well-educated. With high cheekbones and oblique eyes she had striking Eurasian looks.
Princess Cecilie was seventeen years old when her family arranged her marriage to Grand Duke Michael Nikolaievich of Russia, the youngest son of Tsar Nicholas I of Russia. The details of their courtship are not known, however, theirs was a love match.[3] In 1856 her brother, Frederick I, Grand Duke of Baden married Princess Louise of Prussia, a daughter of (then the crown prince) Wilhelm I of Prussia and therefore a first cousin of Grand Duke Michael.
When Olga came to Russia as Cecilie, her husband did not like her birth name and chose for her the name Olga Feodorovna which she took upon her conversion to the orthodox faith. The marriage took place on 28 August 1857 at the Chapel of the Winter Palace in St. Petersburg.[4] Grand Duke Michael loved his wife deeply all his life and was under her strong influence, they were like polar opposites and this only seemed to cement their alliance.[5] Michael Nicholaievich was a kind, calm, rather dull man who would have been completely happy to devote himself only to the artillery and his family, and he did not shine with exceptional intellect. On the other hand, Olga Feodorovna was lively, sharp-tongued, witty society-lady, very fond of malicious tales and gossips – according to some of her contemporaries, gossip was her main raison d'être, or purpose for existing.
The couple remained close and theirs was a happy marriage.[6] They lived in their own large residence in St Petersburg, the New Mikhailovski Palace, which was built for them in 1861.[5] They also had a summer residence, Mikhailovskoe on the Baltic in Peterhorf, and Grushevska, a vast rural estate in southern Ukraine.[7] The couple had seven children. Grand Duchess Olga, with a stronger personality than her husband, was the dominating force in the family. She raised her seven children with an iron hand.

Grand Duchess[edit]
In the fall of 1860 Olga Feodorovna and her husband visited England. Queen Victoria described their meeting in a letter to her daughter Victoria, crown Princess of Prussia Windsor, 24 October 1860:
" | They (Michael and Cecile) came to luncheon on Monday and stayed till yesterday. Dear Marie L (Leiningen, nee Baden, Cecile's sister) came with them. They were both most amiable and friendly. Cecile is as unlike her sister as possible--but Marie says her features are like their brother Karl. The features are fine but the figure is not good and she stoops and bends which spoils her very much; she is very good humored, merry and agreeable and clever, and the sisters were so happy together...The Grand Duke is really quite charming--so mild and gentle and gemutlich--always speaking German, and so unlike his brother Constantine and his sisters. We were charmed with him, and I hear wherever he goes--high and low, love him...he looks very delicate, and so I think does she...They say that the little boy of Cecile's (Grand Duke Nicholas Mikhailovich of Russia ) is lovely. Unfortunately I could not see him.[3] | " |
In 1862 Grand Duke Michael Nikolayevich's brother, Tsar Alexander II of Russia, appointed him as governor of Tsardom in the Caucasus and Olga moved with her husband to Tiflis. The couple had already three children, four more were born there. For almost 20 years the family lived in the Caucasus. In addition to official duties as wife of the imperial governor, Olga Feodorovna provided support to her husband Grand Duke Michael Nikolayevich, who supervised the implementation of the liberal reforms of Alexander II in the region.
Grand Duchess Olga took part in ceremonies as the viceroy's wife and in supporting many charities, especially in the field of female education.[10] Using in large part personal funds, in 1864, the grand duchess organized a women's school in Tiflis, later renamed Grand Duchess Olga Feodorovna women's gymnasium. She also founded the first Ossetian school for girls, which was named Ossetian Olginsky. She also became the patroness of a hospital in Pyatigorsk which was named St. Olga. In 1884, in St. Petersburg, Olga Feodorovna became the patroness of the new Alexander's men's Hospital (now the City Psychiatric Hospital № 7). One of the streets of Tiflis - Olginskaya was named in her honor. The village of Olginskaya (now the Right Bank district of North Ossetia) was also named after her.
Final years[edit]
With the assassination of Tsar Alexander II in 1881 the governorship ended in the Caucasus. During the reign of the new Tsar Alexander III of Russia, Grand Duke Michael Nikolayevich served as chairman of the Imperial Council and the family moved back permanently to St. Petersburg. Alexander III, who did not like Olga Fedorovna, sometimes referred to her behind her back as "Auntie Haber", hinting at her alleged Jewish heritage and illegitimacy. Such rumors of Jewish paternity followed Olga Feodorovna through her life. Her husband was protective of her. The Romanovs were anti-Semitic and Olga Feodorovna, who was not a popular member of the family, was mocked as Frau Haber.[2]
Grand Duchess Olga Feodorovna was witty and had a strong personality. Her sharp tongue brought her a lot of trouble at the Russian court. She despised the morganatic wife of Alexander II and later she was particularly indignant at Alexander III's decision to limit the number of Grand Dukes, a title her own grandchildren would be deprived of. While her husband busied himself with his military and governmental career, Grand Duchess Olga ruled her family with an iron hand.[11] She demanded complete obedience from her children. She was particularly close to her eldest son Grand Duke Nicholas Mikhailovich of Russia, whose intellectual interests were like hers, but she remained aloof and cold towards the others.[12] Her second son, Grand Duke Michael Mikhailovich, who was not intellectually gifted (she called him a fool), was a constant source of disappointment for her.[13] In 1879 Olga Feodorovna with Grand Duchess Maria Pavlovna arranged the marriage between her only daughter, Grand Duchess Anastasia Mikhailovna of Russia, with Frederick Francis III, Grand Duke of Mecklenburg-Schwerin, Maria Pavlovna's brother.[14] Anastasia carried some bitterness about her upbringing and relationship with her mother - her daughter Cecilie recounts that at a party to celebrate her engagement, when she committed some infraction she was sent to bed (by Olga) like a naughty child.[11] There was also an incident involving an apricot tree which belonged to Anastasia but whose fruit she was not allowed to eat.
In his journals, Alexander Polovtsov, State Secretary during Alexander III's reign, left an unsympathetic portrayal of Grand Duchess Olga. Although he admitted she was clever, he described her as an acid-tongued, quarrelsome, idle woman (without any social duties such as charity, for example) who did nothing but sit in her palace on the bank of the Neva river and gaze through the window onto the walking people and speak nasty things about them. Just a sharp-tongued high-society lady without any other hobbies but gossiping and caring about privileges for her children.
Olga Feodorovna, who was tradition-conscious and deeply devout, suffered a terrible blow when her second son, Grand Duke Michael Michailovich contracted an unequal marriage in San Remo on 26 February 1891. The marriage was not only morganatic but also illegal under the statute of the Imperial Family and caused a great scandal at the Russian court. Grand Duke Michael Mikhailovich was deprived of his military rank and of his position as adjutant at the Imperial Court and also forbidden to return to Russia for life. When Olga Feodrovna heard of her son's morganatic marriage, she was deeply wounded and fell ill. Few days later, at the insistence of her doctors, the Grand Duchess traveled to Ai-todor, her estate in Crimea to recover her health.[15]
Around noon on 9 April 1891, the express train in which Olga Feodorovna was riding passed through Kharkov in southern Ukraine. During the afternoon the Grand Duchess suffered a heart attack. As Kharkov was the largest nearby city, the train came back there at about 7pm that evening. Several doctors in Kharkov were invited into her train compartment and they diagnosed her ailments as an inflammation of the lungs. She was taken into the Tsar's waiting room in the station. She was surrounded by her attendance and doctors, bur neither her husband nor any of her children were with her as she was traveling alone. A priest was called and she died there at the train station three days later on 12 April 1891 at the age of 51.[15] She was buried at the Peter and Paul fortress in St Petersburg.[16]

iFLY Orlando's state-of-the-art indoor wind tunnel lets acrophobic and aerophobic adrenaline junkies experience the sensations of skydiving under safe conditions. iFLY Orlando will suit you up with a helmet, goggles, flight suit, earplugs, and a can of gravity repellent, before an instructor teaches you the basic maneuvers and hand signals. Once you've learned a lesson, you'll be unleashed into the vertical tunnel's artificial wind current for two one-minute rotations of air time at terminal velocity (real skydives usually allow for about 40 seconds of air time). The entire process lasts about an hour, including waiver signing (flyers under 18 must have a parent or guardian sign), a 15-minute class, and a flight slot during which your group takes turns flying. In addition to the flight experience, the multimedia package includes a DVD with a recording of your flight.
Indoor skydiving is accessible to a wide, family-friendly age range, meaning that Grandma and Grandpa can celebrate their 60th anniversary with more than the traditional cake shaped like Andy Griffith. iFLY Orlando's free observation deck allows for maximum show-offiness, so invite along an audience of hard-to-impress friends, lovers, and butlers to marvel at your simulated plummet through the heavens.
Though skydiving is often billed as a once-in-a-lifetime experience, for the staff at Jump Florida Skydiving, it's a job. As they climb above the scenic landscape of Lake Country in a turbine aircraft, they stay calm as excitement radiates off customers?as young as 18 and as old as 79?about to make their first leap. At the ideal altitude, the plane levels off, and jumpers get into position. The sky is amazingly clear around the plane, which takes off from a private airport, so there are no commercial jets or flocks of migrating geese obstructing the airspace. Tandem or solo divers step to the edge, take a deep breath, and experience the thrill of accelerating at 9.81 meters per second per second.
While participants revel in their adrenaline-fueled thrills, the staff keeps them safe by adhering to the strict standards of the United States Parachute Association. These protocols enforce rigorous regulations, safety guidelines, and eminently cool member handshakes. On the ground, the team prioritizes hospitality, offering guest rooms, a restaurant, spectator fields, and a nerve-diffusing bar.
Skydive Sebastian's planes fly far above the Atlantic, affording their passengers a chance to drop into Florida's eastern edge near the picturesque swimming cove of Sebastian Inlet. The company's hangar and flock of professional skydivers—some of whom boast more than 16,000 jumps––await flights at a 7-acre facility, where they host first-time tandem skydivers and operate a skydiving school for beginners interested in learning to skydive on their own through the Accelerated Freefall course. Meanwhile, experienced skydivers with a passion for the sport of skydiving can receive independent coaching to keep free-fall skills sharp.
At Skydive Space Center, instructors and their clients soar above the ocean. And yet they don't just take in views of the Atlantic Ocean and the Indian River: every skydiving flight gives you a spectacular view of the Kennedy Space Center, the 52-story vehicle assembly, and the historic shuttle Atlantis, as well as the shuttle launch pads and runways.
Once they've reached the required altitude, instructor-student pairs launch from the plane and into thin air for a pulse-pounding free-fall. In addition to tandem jumps, the center offers an accelerated free-fall program, which includes one-on-one instruction and multiple jumps. Professional-quality photography and videography are available on all jumps upon request.
In more than 100 locations around the country, ThrillZown's staff facilitates adrenaline-filled excursions full of extreme water, air, and land adventures. Under the supervision of experts, brave souls defy gravity as they skydive, hang-glide, bungee jump, or play films of apples falling off trees in reverse. On land, crews harness the power of horses, stock cars, and snowmobiles; in the water, groups navigate whitewater rapids or explore aquatic depths as they scuba dive or surf.
For first-time tandem jumpers, the experience of free falling from 11,000 feet is an unforgettable experience. But just in case, Skydive Orlanpa, in partnership with Jump Florida Skydiving, can document tandem jumps with professionally produced videos set to music. A preflight interview on the ground gives way to footage shots inside the plane as jumpers and their tandem instructors make their ascension. From there, videographers capture the entire free fall as participants take in the scenery and attempt to block out the chortles of condescending geese. The parachute then deploys, and jumpers and their instructors return to terra firma. Meanwhile, friends can watch dives from the ground in a large spectator area or tag along on the plane ride and watch the leap firsthand.

Aaron Cresswell is settling into life well at West Ham United and came so close to notching his first goal in claret and blue as he returned to his old club on Wednesday night.
Less than two weeks after joining the Hammers from Ipswich Town, 24-year-old defender Cresswell found himself back at Portman Road as his new team took on the Tractor Boys in a 0-0 draw.
Cresswell came closest of all to breaking the deadlock when his deft chip struck the crossbar, and although that chance went astray, he is happy at how his Hammers career has begun.
He said: "All the lads and all the staff have been great with me. We went to France for eight days and now we head to New Zealand on Thursday. It'll be a long journey, but an enjoyable one and I'll get to mingle with the lads and get to know them even more.
"Had the chip gone in, I think the goalkeeper Deano [Gerken] would still be chasing me now!
"I'd have been delighted if I had scored, but he wouldn't have been! I actually tried to put the ball to the back stick, but it ended up hitting the bar - it was one of those things." And while a first West Ham goal was not to be, Cresswell still had plenty to smile about upon returning to his old stamping ground. The highly-regarded left-back was afforded the warmest of receptions, having been held in particularly high esteem by the Ipswich faithful. "It was a bit strange coming back. I was here for three years, but as I've said before it was nice to come back and see the lads I spent that time with." "It meant a lot to get the reception I did - the fans have been first class with me, and since the day I left I haven't had one bad message. Everything's been positive and I can't thank them enough for the last three years."
On the pitch, the Scouser showed promising signs of a link-up with Matt Jarvis during the first half and he will be using the pre-season games to further that understanding with teammates all over the pitch.
He added: "Jarvo's obviously a great player and he's played in the Premier League for a number of years now.
"I'm just going to take each game as it comes, and whoever's in front of me I'll try to link up with them as best as I can.
"It's all about fitness, getting your heart rate up and getting your match fitness. I enjoyed it out there on Wednesday.
"We've got five games in pre-season and the more I play with the back four the more I'll get to know them."

Housing Starts Drop, But Building Permits Are Up
By Mark Memmott
There was a 5.8 percent drop in housing starts from February to March, the Census Bureau and Department of Housing and Urban Development just reported.
Bloomberg News says the decline was unexpected and left starts at a five-month low.
Still, the number of starts was up 10.3 percent from March 2011.
Looking ahead, the data are more positive. The number of building permits issued rose 4.5 percent from February to March and was up 30.1 percent from March 2011. Permits are at their highest level in the past 3 1/2 years, Reuters says.

Wonka Ice Cream Review
Taste Test: Wonka's Whimsical Ice Cream Flavors
Taste Test: Wonka's Whimsical Ice Cream Flavors
Browsing down the ice cream aisle, you can't help but notice Wonka's new ice cream flavors. First off, they're upside down to resemble Willy Wonka's notorious top hat. Secondly, the bright, swirly design is ultra psychedelic and lures you closer to the freezer door. With silly flavor names like Kernelpuff Caramelstuff and Kerfuffle Truffle, the mixes are equal parts exotic and whimsical, which is to be expected from Nestlé's Wonka brand. We taste tested all seven flavors, but only a few are truly scrumdiddlyumptious. Find out the flavors that are worth purchasing and which ones need to return to the Wonka factory for further testing.

Regardless of Whether LLC, Corporation or Sole Owner, you will need a business license.
STEP 3: Federal Tax ID EIN

However, sole owners without employees and who are not independent contractors, do not need it but should get it.
STEP 4: makeup artist Seller's Permit / Wholesale ID
Also called resale ID, reseller ID etc.
A seller's permit is required to buy or sell wholesale and or sell retail.
STEP 5: DBA (Doing Business As Trade Name)
If you don't incorporate or form an LLC, you will most likely need to register your business name.
For example, doing business as "John's Clothing Store," requires a DBA doing business as business name regisration.
STEP 6: State Employer ID
If you will hire makeup artist workers, you will need a state employer ID SEIN.
In addition, you will need a Federal Employer ID (EIN)as well. .
FAQ: I am a makeup artist Home/Online Business. Do I Need All These?
So, long as you perform an activity for profit ( even a hobby ), you need licenses - Regardless of your location, or the ammount of income..
FAQ: What Entity Should I Choose?
An LLC because the entity of choice that will save you taxes and protect your personal assets is an LLC.
> Learn More... .
ABOUT Partnerships
All partnerships must file a DBA and obtain a federal tax ID number.
Otherwise, all partnerships must file a DBA and obtain a federal tax ID number.
Partnerships could form an LLC or Incorporate instead of the DBA filing.
You can choose to be a makeup artist Sole Proprietor, LLC, Corporation or Partnership. After you decide and select your business entity, you need licensing.

Make-up artists are designing and applying make-up on clients, including actors, models and performing artists and may work for beauty salons, beauty retail stores or entertainment production companies or be self-employed.
Even though a make-up artist does not have to have any formal education such as a high school diploma, or a a special make up professional license such as a cosmetologist license, it is recommended that they should have cosmetology or esthetics training and, if required by an employer, a cosmetologist license.
Business Licensing and Training Requirements and Recommendations
As mentioned, make-up artists are not required to be licensed or certified; however, some employers prefer to hire make-up artists with a cosmetology license. That means that if you are a self employed make-up artist, you will just need to get BUSINESS licensing as opposed to professional license such as a cosmetologist license.
Business legal requirements and tax rules require new make-up businessto select a business entity such as a sole owner/proprietor, partnership, LLC or corporation. Licensing: If you will not choose to be a corporation or LLC, you will need to register your business name with a DBA, if it is not your personal full legal name. For example if you do business as your own name, e.g., Jane Doe, you do not need a DBA filing. On the other hand, if you are a self employed artist and you name your business "Make-up for the Stars," or something similar, you will need to file a dba. However, you will need to get a general business license - note, not a specific to make up business but just a general occupational business license - regardless of which business entity you select.
Furthermore, selling make up products such as eyeliners and lipstic as merchandise requires a sales tax ID (Sellers Permit) to either buy or sell make up products wholesale and or sell them retail.
Suppose your make up artist business gets busy and you are iring workers within 30 days of starting your business. That requires a federal EIN and a State EIN ( employer identification number).
You also need a federal tax ID if you are a partnership, an independent contractor, a corporation or an LLC. You can also obtain a federal tax ID as a make-up sole proprietor an use it as a business tax ID however note that you still need to get the licenses and tax ids as described above.
Finally, even make-up sole owner/proprietors working from home or just online can form an LLC or incorporate, in which case, they will not need to file a DBA.
Also, keep in mind that in CA though, a business license and a DBA is necessary for most businesses but if your business sells any taxable items, you will need a sales tax ID number. (A.K.A state id, wholesale, resale, reseller certificate, about $39 for most states).

Hi all,
I want to be able to sort my users by the top 5 most active... Or the last 5 users to logon... I have added a DATETIME column to my MySQL members table... Just not sure what I now put on the home.php file, so it records the DATETIME into the table automatically... Any help would be greatly appreciated!

For top 5 active, you'd have to define active. I'd advise against updating the database for every pageview. For instance, if it is a forum you could record when they last replied or posted a new topic. Then use that as the top 5 active.
For last 5 logons, just update the datetime column upon login.
Then query the database ordering by the datetime.

these boots are really comfortable and provide awesome support.
Nice boots
These are some pretty nice boots. They are pretty true to size, but the only problem for me is that my right foot feels a little cramped. I know my right foot is a "tad" bigger than the other, but the boot could have been made a little larger to accomodate for that kind of stuff. Oh well. Took them out in some great fresh snow and they held up nicely. Still need some time to break in, but overall good boot and they are comfortable.
Great boot, extremely comfortable, after wearing it a couple times it fits like a glove
andy warhol boots
these boots are amazing, they are so comfortable, and after you use them all day your feet arent sore, they have this special fabric in them that makes it not stink and stay really warm, i ware them around my house to break them in a little and just because i luv how they feel, and they also have this memory foam shit that forms to the shape of ur foot after u use it a few times to make a better fit. awesome boot i highly recommend them.

As First Titan Corp. (OTCBB: FTTN) continues its quest to add more assets to its expanding oil and gas portfolio, FTTN executives made key contacts with potential new partners at last week's high profile North America Prospect Expo in Houston.
NAPE is one of the world's largest exploration and production/upstream-premier networking expos where attendees are afforded the opportunity to learn and see what is happening throughout the oil and gas industry.
"NAPE brings prospects, capital providers and vendors all under one roof to accomplish the necessary framework for the exploration of and marketing of oil, gas and minerals," NAPE senior director S. Craig Young told The Houston Chronicle.
FTTN, which last month acquired a working interest in the Minns asset package in Waller County, Texas, to add to its working interests in Terrell, Harding and Webb Counties, took full advantage of the limitless networking opportunities NAPE offered. FTTN took numerous successful meetings with potential partners and financial firms at the expo. The progress made in those meetings has FTTN excited about continuing forward with the new relationships made at NAPE.
First Titan Corp. is building a strong collection of oil and gas properties and is dedicated to the continuing development of energy assets throughout North America alongside companies such as Continental Resources, Inc. (NYSE: CLR), Chesapeake Energy Corp. (NYSE: CHK), SandRidge Energy Inc. (NYSE: SD) and Ultra Petroleum Corp. (NYSE: UPL).

"Very flavorful and impressive turkey burger with melted Gouda cheese!"
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

Watch video tips and tricks
1 egg
1/4 cup minced onion
1 pound ground turkey
1/2 cup fine Italian bread crumbs
2 teaspoons liquid smoke flavoring
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 cup panko bread crumbs
1 large portobello mushroom cap, cut into thick slices
1 tablespoon olive oil for brushing
4 ounces Canadian-style bacon
4 ounces sliced Gouda cheese
4 hamburger buns, split and toasted
1/4 cup spicy brown mustard, or to taste
1/2 cup mayonnaise, or to taste
This burger is simple to make yet loaded with flavor and has a gourmet taste. We had surprise dinner guests and I happen to have all of the ingredients in my pantry. The recipe is too good not to share!
Rainy outside so I broiled instead of grilled, used Havarti cheese instead of Gouda and they still came out well. My only critique would be the nutrition info. Wow...over 800 calories and 53 grams of fat for 1 burger. I was surprised...
22 Ratings
I enjoyed these. The saltiness of the canadian bacon and the gouda went well with the turkey. I used a reduced fat gouda so it didn't melt as nicely, but tasted great. Next time I'd leave off the panko and make 5 patties.. they were quite big
This recipe is fantastic. The flavor of the burgers are really five star. The second time I made it I did not include the mushroom or the canadian bacon and it was still perfect.
To me an egg, breadcrumbs and meat equals meatloaf which is not what I wanted so I left those two ingredients out. What was left was a wonderfully delicious turkey burger that my girls and I all enjoyed. Portobellos are always awesome on the grill and they really topped off these burgers beautifully. Thank you!!
Delicious! I skipped the smoke flavor and baked it at 375 degrees for 15 minutes on each side.
tried the turkey burgers tonight and was very pleasantly surprised. Couldn't get my husband to try turkey burgers in the past but he really liked them. Just a tiny bit dry but that's probably true of turkey burgers period. The Panko bread crumbs - not sure they were needed. I went a little light on the liquid smoke just to make sure I would like it. Since I'm doing a diet - will do this recipe again and again.
absolutely delicious, burgers were huge

I'll follow on the Dan's initial post with a few reflection, thanking
him for taking the the time and effort to report his impressions,
keeping in mind I also read the various follow-ups.On 10/09/12 21:47, Dan MacDonald wrote:
One oddity I've seen in Muse's piano roll (vs Rosegarden) is that it
won't play notes when you add them or edit them (esp. change their
pitch, thus not providing auditory feedback and having you rely only on
the visual clue), I think this is a shortcoming especially when using
the piano roll as an 'instrument' (imagine composing at the piano and
only being able to *see* the keys and not hearing the sound they produce...)
That said contrary to what seems most popular consensus I would prefer
sequencers not to have audio and DAWs not to have midi. I do love jack
transport and the modularity jack offers. That probably also comes from
the fact I use Pure Data for many projects (and one couldn't thing to
have a mega-daw with daw + sequencer + effects + dataflow ...).
Just now, I am working on a video sonification project and at times I
have Rosegarden + Ardour + Pure Data with various patch windows open +
the video window (xjadeo) all talking via jack - I can test 'synthy'
stuff by sending MIDI to Pd see how it fits with the video, if I want
fire up a synth (say yuoshimi), another patch... This would clearly not
work in a single-window-windows-style application.
(Will go into detail about this once the project is done)
A final remark on sequencing and midi editing. One think I really don't
like about any sequencer out there, and which clearly has been copied by
Cubase, is the idea of 'clip' for midi. While the concept makes sense in
audio DAWs I always found it limiting... It might be because my first
sequencer was Cakewalk Apprentice for DOS and it is the way the
subsequent Cakewalk family handled it: but no clips just the possibility
of unlimited midi feels much 'spacious' and 'creatively cosy'...

Looks blue in the tube, but goes on very sheer, almost silvery. High shine and very reflective, so better for evenings and great on top of lipstick of any color. Makes your lips look full and lustrous. Lasts long, but a little bit gritty. I have fair skin and it looks great. One of the best lip glosses I have ever tried. Only draw back is teh scent.
Kind of a bland product. Looks like grey-silver shimmer in the tube; goes on very sheer silver. Would make a nice lipstick topper. No taste or smell. Nice texture - thick enough to last a while, but in no way sticky. Not bad for $5.50 (I got it on sale) but don't like it enough to pay full price.

From Wonder Bowls to Ice-Tup molds to Party Susans, Tupperware has become an icon of suburban living. Tracing the fortunes of Earl Tupper's polyethylene containers from early design to global distribution, Alison J. Clarke explains how Tupperware tapped into potent commercial and social forces, becoming a prevailing symbol of late twentieth-century consumer culture.
Invented by Earl Tupper in the 1940s to promote thrift and cleanliness, the pastel plasticwares were touted as essential to a postwar lifestyle that emphasized casual entertaining and celebrated America's material abundance. By the mid-1950s the Tupperware party, which gathered women in a hostess's home for lively product demonstrations and sales, was the foundation of a multimillion-dollar business that proved as innovative as the containers themselves. Clarke shows how the "party plan" direct sales system, by creating a corporate culture based on women's domestic lives, played a greater role than patented seals and streamlined design in the success of Tupperware.
"Alison Clarke tells [Tupperware's story] with wit and erudition."–Newsweek
"This detailed and entertaining book explores how the plastic storage containers known as Tupperware rose to prominence in 1950s America. . . . Tupperware was more than just a clever use of plastic and an equally clever marketing tool; it was a symbol of its time and a perfect product for a consumerist age."–American History
"[Tupperware] explores that domestic icon of suburbia and its role in feminist history."–Washington Post

Quoted from ruthiegirl What are beet crystals?
Quoted Text I have been taking the Membrosia Combo for a couple of weeks. I was wondering if it would be beneficial to also take the Trehalose Complex also? The Membrosia Combo does have some Trehalose in it. And, if beneficial to add Trehalose to my supplements would it be OK to add it in with my Membrosia Combo - I mix my Membrosia Combo with Black Cherry Juice Concentrate.Hope to hear soon
Quoted from C_Sharp I see this type of thing all the time on labels.I think the assumption is people can do math.I may have to do this sort of math several times a day to scale things to the correct proportion.
Quoted from yaeli I continue to prepare my membrosia according to the old recipe by Dr. D + uridine, and now I add walnut oil to the flax seed oil, both SWAMI diamonds. I intend to add also black cumin oil, which is not rated in SWAMI. http://www.dadamo.com/cgi-bin/Blah/Blah.pl?b-pres/m-1376860877/s-0/
Quoted from Chloe The powder was under-filled in many of my containers. (I ordered enough for 3 months forDH and I)....I run out of powder before I use up the oil. In one powder container, it seemed short by about6 days.
Quoted from text Directions: Mix two (2) level teaspoons of Membrosia Complex and one and a half (1.5) teaspoons of Membrosia Fluidizer in 4-6 oz. of a beneficial juice in the morning. Avoid consuming any fatty foods for fifteen minutes after taking Membrosia.
Quoted from yaeli May I take it in cranberry juice? (beneficial)Thanks.
Quoted from Spring Maybe shaking these containers before opening would fluff the stuff up and make the measuring more accurate. I do that all the time with my protein drink mix from DPN. Powders can certainly become more concentrated if they are not shaken up.But Chloe's suggestion about a little spoon/cup seems right on target to me.
Quoted from Donna What time limit do we have to wait before drinking green tea with the membrosia combo? I have been waiting an hour. I didn't see a definitive answer in this thread. Sorry if I missed it. Thanks!

My husband and I have lived in our condo high above downtown Philadelphia for 30 years before a heart attack took him.
I've loved cooking since I was barely big enough to see the top of the table. At 7, I started reading the Little House series and stories of the US colonial era, and became very curious about how food was made before there were mixes and packages--from scratch. My mother is a pretty sorry cook; there are no family recipes. She is convinced that cooking means slavishly following Betty Crocker compendium recipes. But somehow, I always felt the art of it, and as an adult taught nieces and goddaughters to cook not by reading recipes and the backs of boxes, but by choosing things that look good at Philadelphia's famous Reading Terminal Market, taking them home and considering taste and texture then showing them techniques for achieving the deliciousness they imagine.
I learned much of this from an unusual high school home ec teacher, and watching Julia Child and the Galloping Gurmet (in his original, pre-religion form) on TV, then later from a dear friend who graduated from Le Cordon Bleu in Paris.
I am now retired from my career in TESOL (teaching English to speakers of other languages), 35 years during which most of my students were late teens and adults, and during which I lived in Spain and South Korea as a teacher (although I spent most of my career in college ESL programs in Philadelphia). I've been blessed to travel extensively, and have stood, notebook in hand, at the elbows of cooks from Spain to Ukraine, Taiwan to S. Korea. Students living in the US have invited me into their homes where, again, I stood at elbows in the kitchens of Saudi, Kuwaiti, Argentine, French, Dutch, Austrian, Moroccan, Burmese, Malaysian, Vietnamese and other cooks. I love preparing meals drawing on all I've learned from these wonderful, generous cooks.
I also love the cooking of my home city, Philadelphia. We are so much more than cheesesteaks! Now I'm retired in Florida and love sharing my cooking with new friends here.
I adore smoked salmon, raw oysters with lemon juice, cheese of all kinds (natural, though, not processed), Malaysian coconut milk-based curries, sampling all sorts of exotic foods, all kinds of fresh fruits. My friends say I make the best white clam chowder and bake great bread. I love to try all kinds of new recipes, and especially enjoy the ones I get from my international students. I love to create new recipes from ingredients that look good. When traveling abroad, I want a chance to visit the local markets and have a place to cook my finds. I collect cookbooks, including antique ones.

The Disclaimer: This is a write-up of what I did. If you try this on your own truck, I cannot take any responsibility for any damage you may incurr. If your try this mod, you do so at your own risk.
First, I would like to thank rcbs204 for the idea of making a circuit board using LEDs. I would have never thought a circuit board could fit in the switch housing.
For those of you who do not want to tackle this yourself, rcbs204 will be selling an easy to install kit once his through R & D is complete. Click on this link for more info.
For those of you who like the challenge of doing it yourself, here's what you'll need:
1) Copper Clad Board (To make the circuit board)
2) Copper Etchant (Aluminum Persulphate)
3) Etch Resistant Pen
4) 6 LEDs I used the following.
Type - NTE Part No. 300335) Resistor - 470 Ohm
Size - 3mm T1
Colour - Clear Orange
Brightness - 100 MCD (I Think)
Forward Voltage (VF) - 2.6V
Forward Current (IF) - 25mA
Viewing Angle - 10 degrees (A wider angle would be preferable)
6) 2 female crimp on connectors - Molex 16-02-0103 (I could not find these connectors locally, so I used Molex 39-00-0039 and used a dremel tool to make them fit.)
7) 2" OD hole saw
8) 0.033" drill bit
9) Tapered Drill Bit (To enlarge centre hole)
10) Drill (Preferably a drill press)
11) Small plastic container
12) Solder
13) Soldering Iron
14) 22 Ga wire
15) 18 Ga Wire
16) Wire Cutter
17) Wire Stripper
18) Crimping Tool or Pliers
19) Neoprine weatherstripping. (You can probably use something else, but it worked for me.)
20) File
Step 1:
Use 2" hole saw to cut out a circle from the copper Clad Board.
You will end up with a 45.7 mm (1.8") circle which will fit inside the 4X4 switch. Some filing may be required.
Use the tapered drill bit to enlarge the center hole to 18 mm (0.7").
I made the centre hole too small and ended up grinding it bigger with a Dremel tool. The centre diameter must be large enough to clear the switch shaft.
Step 2:
Cut the circular circuit board in half.
I used a utility knife to cut the circular board in half. This took a bit of work. I'm sure a fine toothed saw would have been quicker, but I wanted a really clean cut.
Step 3:
File two notches into the round edge of the circuit board.
The notch on the left is approximately 17 mm up from the flat edge, and the notch on the right is approximately 13 mm up from the flat edge. You can adjust these measurements to suit. The notches are there to clear two ribs inside the switch housing. You will be able to see the ribs in a picture below.
Step 4: Draw the circuit using the etch resistant pen.
The circuit is simply 6 LEDs and a resistor in series.
The diodes that light the "H2", "H4", and "L4" will be near the outer curved edge of the circuit board. The centre of each of these LEDs must be 2.5 mm from the outer curved edge. The LEDs that light up the pointer are the ones closer to the inner curveed edge of the circuit board. Their center is spaced 12.5 mm from the outer curved edge of the circuit board, or 100 mm away of the other LEDs.
Drill 0.033" holes to mount the diodes, resistor, and connecting wires.
Use a drill press, if available, to avoid breaking the fine drill bit.
Step 5:
In a small plastic container which is big enough to hold the circuit board, mix etchant solution as per instructions that came with the etchant.
Emerse circuit board into etching solution until unprotected copper is etched and the drawn circuit remains.
Step 6:
Insert components, and solder.
The diodes that light up the "H2", "H4", and "L4" should stick up above the circuit bord no more than 19 mm. The other diodes which light up the pointer should stick up above the circuit board no more than 14 mm.
Note the flat side of the doide lens denotes the cathode. That is the negative side. Make sure the diodes are oriented to allow current to flow from one end of the circuit to the other.
Notice the circuit board on the side with the components also has copper trace where the connecting wires will attach. This will allow the ends of the wires to be soldered on the component side of the board, allowing the wires to exit the back side of the circuit board.
Trim off excess leads from components.
Step 7:
Remove 4X4 switch from dashboard.
I just slid my fingernails where my finger is pointing in the picture below and pulled.
Unplug the connector behind the switch and bring it inside.
Step 8:
Remove the small brown plug at the back of the switch by inserting a small screwdriver into the slot and turning counterclockwise 1/4 turn. The only picture I have of this plug is with the back already removed.
Insert two 22 Ga wires, one in each of the two holes in the plug. The wires are to be inserted from the side of the plug that faces inside the switch.
I used wires from a telephone cable.
Wrap each wire through each of the two slots, under the plug, and back up again. Wrap the wires as tightly and as deep into the slots as possible.
Step 9:
Remove the back of the switch by carefully prying the tabs with a small screwdriver. One of the tabs is shown on the picture below. There are four tabs. Be careful not to break them. Also be carful of the spring loaded shaft inside the switch. Do not pull off the front selector, as doing so will allow the narrower part of the two piece shaft to fall out and a spring loaded ball bearing to go flying and become lost.
Step 10:
Insert wire and plug back into the back cover of the switch. Turn the plug 1/4 turn clockwise to lock in place. If the plug does not turn, the wire is not wrapped flat enough on the plug.
Step 11:
Trim the 22 Ga wires to an appropriate length and solder them to the circuit board. Solder the red wire to the positive lead of the first diode in the series circuit, and the black wire to the negative lead of the last diode of the series circuit.
Look at where the brown plug was installed. Notice the 4 pinouts on the back cover of the switch. Take note of which pin is connected to the positive wire, and wich pin is connected to the negative.
In my case, pin 1 is negative, and pin 3 is positive. The polarity of the pins can be switched by removing, repositioning, and reinserting the plug.
Step 12:
Insert the circuit board into the switch. This can only be accomplished if the selector is between "H4" and "L4", closer to "L4". This is due to the tabs on the shaft of the switch.
Cut 3 small pieces of neoprene weatherstripping, and stick them inside the switch housing to keep the circuit board in place as shown in the picture below.
Snap the back of the switch back on, making sure the wires to the circuit board does not interfere with the operation of the switch.
Step 13:
Crimp the Molex connectors onto two stranded 18 Ga wires.
Step 14:
Inside the Tacoma, locate the connector for the 4 x 4 switch.
Using a jeweller's screwdriver, pry off the white retaining clip.
Insert the two Molex connectors into the empty slots. Take note of the polarity.
In my case, Slot 3 is positive, and slot 1 is negative. Slot 1 is the furthest slot to the right in the picture below.
Step 15:
Remove the HVAC control panel.
Remove the cover to the right of the stereo by prying at the top of the cover.
I used my fingernails.
Place your finger in the hole behind the cover and find the clip at the upper right corner of the HVAC control panel, and push. That corner of the control panel should pop out.
Place your finger in the hole where the 4x4 switch goes, and do the same thing for the left upper corner of the HVAC control panel.
Remove the HVAC control panel and unplug the connectors from the back.
Step 16:
Fish the two 18 Ga stranded wires from the 4x4 switch connector to the HVAC control panel location.
Step 17:
On the connector with the thinner wires, find the green and the green/white wire.
Remove the retaining clip from the connecting by prying it off with a jewller's screwdriver.
Then remove the green/white wire from the connector by inserting a jewller's screwdriver in the receptacle end and pressig down on the plastic retaining tab.
Piggy back the negative wire from the 4x4 switch connector to the green/white wire.
I losened part of the crimp on the green/white wire, place the negative wire from the 4x4 switch connector into the crimp, and re-crimped it.
Insert the two wires back into the connector.
Do the same with the solid green wire and the positive wire from the 4x4 switch connector.
Reinstall the plastic retaining clip.
Step 18:
Plug the connectors back into the HVAC control panel, and reinstall the control panel.
Step 19:
Plug the connector back into the 4x4 switch and reinstall the switch.
You're done: Turn the lights on, and the switch will look like this.
1) I find the lighting not very even. A wider angle LED would probably work better.
2) The LEDs are a bit brighter than the lights on rest of the dashboard. It also does not dim as fast. A larger resistor may help.
3) The clear orange LED matches the OEM dash colour perfectly.
Good luck!

Does anyone have any photos of tile grouted with oyster gray from home depot? I have beige porcelain tile and Im stuck on the grouting color. I dont want to do something too dark, but I dont want something very light either.
Thanks. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I do have a photo, but I don't think it shows well. I shot in natural light so the flash wouldn't wash out the color. Shot at F1.4, so a very narrow depth of field which made the foreground and background a bit blurry. I'd classify it as a medium gray. |
- Posted by newchapter (My Page) on Mon, Dec 20, 10 at 8:19
Thank you! It actually looks beige on my monitor? |
Agree, that's why I was reluctant to even post the photo. In that photo it does look a little beigey or even pinkish on my monitor in some areas. Here's another shot. I'll leave it oversized. These photos are of my fireplace surround. Not sure if the hue in the left of the photo is a reflection of the rust-colored fireplace screen, or a little staining from fireplace smoke. But towards the right side of the photo is a more unadulterated look of the oyster color. For reference, the tiles are 1" by 3". |

Ah, I see what you're saying. Thanks! |
Mongoct, that grout color is perfect for those tiles! I am having a touch time picking a grout color for tiles for my kitchen and your picture is helping me. |
I have her the color chart and the Oyster Gray looks so gray but on your wall, it is a light taupe nice neutral color. Mongoct, what color do you see on the wall? |

Now that addresses have run out, they have become a valuable resource for the ISPs that own them. If those ISPs implement IPv6 then there will be no shortage of addresses, and they will lose all their value.
So the monopolist ISPs will now do everything in their power to prevent IPv6 from being adopted.
