Hot Box gets very, very hot. Review by Sammy Sneed
Price Value Quality For a box vaporizer in this price range, the Hot Box is a great buy. I've owned several and given them away when it seemed right. The only problem is that they may get too hot on the exterior. I find that I have to let the device sit out in a ventilated area fir at least 5 minutes before touching it after use. Granted it may have been on for prolonged periods of time. Still, I think there are better buys out there for the money, especially some of the portable ones. (Posted on 7/11/12)

Price Value Quality I have been exploring for a liltte for any high quality articles or weblog posts in this kind of space . Exploring in Yahoo I at last stumbled upon this site. Studying this information So ic2a1c2a6m satisfied to express that I have an incredibly good uncanny feeling I discovered exactly what I needed. I most without a doubt will make certain to do not put out of your mind this site and provides it a look regularly. (Posted on 6/22/12)
Works well Review by Samantha
Price Value Quality I have a ground glass hot box. Its all black w/ a sublime sun on the top. My roomates thought it was a new jewelry box or something at first. lolz then I told them it was a vaporizer and they wre like "Whattttt" so we tried it out all together. ;)
It works pretty well, I like that the whip stays attached to th box. cuz of the ground glass. I'm sure it could be built better, it seems sturdy but the base could use bigger rubber feet to keep it from making a mark on wood. It never has done that, but I'm just thinking it could be built a bit better. (Posted on 4/6/12)

Better late than never: Nuggets, Rush pursue NAIA titles
March 18, 2014
NEW ORLEANS — Xavier University of Louisiana's basketball version of The Late Show is set for consecutive evenings, and maybe even a third.
The Gold Nuggets and Gold Rush will play 9:45 p.m. games in the opening round of NAIA Division I National Championships. The XU women (23-9) will play Westmont (20-9) on Wednesday at Frankfort Convention Center in Frankfort, Ky. — that state capital is on Eastern Daylight Time — and the XU men (23-8) will play Hope International (22-10) on Thursday at Municipal Auditorium in Kansas City, Mo.
The XU games are the last of eight on both days at both tournament sites. XU's men were assigned 9:45 p.m. games in the 2008 and 2013 opening rounds; both games tipped off later than scheduled and concluded shortly after midnight.
The Nuggets-Westmont winner will play Campbellsville or Southern Poly in the second round at 2:15 p.m. EDT Friday. The Rush-Hope International winner will get another 9:45 p.m. game Friday, against Southwestern Assemblies of God or St. Catharine (Ky.) in the second round.
Both XU programs seek their first national championships.
Xavier and Columbia (Mo.) are the only schools to qualify for NAIA D-I tournaments in men's and women's basketball each of the last four seasons. The Gold Nuggets' tournament streak is five, and it's their 18th appearance in the last 20 seasons. The Gold Rush are at nationals for the eighth time in the last 10 seasons and the 15th time overall.
This is the 10th time that both XU teams reached nationals in the same year. But the Nuggets and Rush have yet to produce same-year first-round victories. The Nuggets' most recent victory was in the 2012 first round, and the Rush won most recently in the 2007 first round.
Both XU teams are led in scoring by sophomore guards.
Whitney Gathright leads the Nuggets with 12.2 points per game, and she's the only Louisiana collegiate female this season with at least 40 made 3-pointers, 100 made free throws, 100 rebounds and 100 assists. Gathright was MVP of the Gulf Coast Athletic Conference Tourmament, which Xavier won to earn an automatic bid to nationals.
All-conference Morris Wright leads the Rush, the GCAC regular-season champion, with 13.3 points per game and has been an effective shooter at 47.8 percent from the floor, 42.2 on 3-pointers and 78.5 on free throws. Wright is the only Gold Rush shooter ever to reach all three marks in the same season.
Quarterfinals at both sites will be Saturday, with semfinals on Monday and championship games on Tuesday.
The Xavier Gold Rush and Gold Nuggets compete in Division I of the
(National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics) as a member of the
Gulf Coast Athletic Conference
(GCAC). Xavier fields men's teams in basketball, cross country, tennis and track and field and women's teams in basketball, cross country, tennis, track and field and volleyball.

LONDON - The far-right, anti-Muslim English Defense League (EDL) is preparing to form a new political party amid critics' accusations that it will represent a new far right front in Britain.
The British political anti-Islamist party will be launched in May at our Luton demonstration," Stephen Lennon, head of the English Defence League (EDL) told Reuters on Saturday, March 24.
"At the Luton demonstration, the whole country will hear an anti-Islamist political party that gives everyone an option in a non-racist way - the opposite to the British National Party," he added, saying the new body would be called the Freedom Party.
The EDL, a far-right group that emerged in 2009, has held numerous protests against what it calls Islamic extremism in Britain.
The three-year-old grassroots group gained international attention last July after Anders Behring Breivik, the Norwegian who killed 77 people in what he said was an international mission to counter Islam, claimed to have had contact with EDL members and leaders.
The EDL has denied any formal links to Breivik and Lennon rejects the description of his group as far-right.
"We hate Nazis, we're anti-Nazi," he said, emphasizing his groups' support for Jews and Israel.
"In England, we're the only organization that stands up for the Jewish community."
Concerns have been growing in Britain and across Europe over the rise of white and supremacist groups.
In Britain, far-right groups like the EDL and the British National Party (BNP) are playing the card of immigration to stoke sentiment against Muslims and immigrants.
In November 2010, British police warned that the anti-Muslim demonstration by the EDL fuel extremism and harm social cohesion in Britain.
British Muslims, estimated at nearly two million, have been in the eye of storm since the 7/7 attacks.
A Financial Times opinion poll showed that Britain is the most suspicious nation about Muslims.
A poll of the Evening Standard found that a sizable section of London residents harbor negative opinions about Muslims.
The new party, to be announced next May, has aroused fears of being the face of a new far-right which is opposed to all Muslims, with members who include former soccer hooligans.
Critics also warned that the group's rallies have often ended in violent confrontations with anti-fascist organizations.
How successful the party will be is unclear, though Lennon claimed he will surpass the far-right BNP which won two seats to the European Parliament in 2009.
"If the BNP got two seats, we'll get more than two seats," said Lennon, who added he would not be the new party's leader.
Other populist anti-Islam parties have enjoyed election successes elsewhere in the European Union in recent years.
Far-right Dutch lawmaker Geert Wilders has called for banning the Muslim face-veil in the Netherlands and stopping immigration from Muslim countries.
In Sweden, the far-right Sweden Democrats have unveiled plans to impose a moratorium on building new mosques in the Scandinavian country.
The move came after far-rightists succeeded to win public support for banning the building of mosque minarets in Switzerland.
In France's presidential elections, far-right candidate Marine Le Pen has been adopting an anti-immigrant approach to gain public support.
In 2010, Le Pen compared Muslim prayers on the streets to Nazi occupation.

I have to apologise for the lack of blogs over the last week. My Hubbie brought the man flu into the house, not one of his better gifts that he has given us! This has taken on a domino effect throughout the house. Miss F was hit hard and is only just coming out of it now. Little S is now suffering and I'm just starting to show signs. Not happy Jan.
So even though I have a massive list of things to cook, it just hasn't been the right time as my little tester has been off her food. She is just starting to eat toast now, so it won't be long till we are back to normal. I will however put in this little recipe for a smoothie that we have been having every morning. I've been using rice milk, as Miss F has been way to congested to have any dairy.
Berry smoothie
Enough for Mum and Bub
1 cup frozen berries
1 tb LSA
1tsp honey
11/2 cups of rice milk (or normal milk for a creamy result)
(I normally add ¼ cup of natural yoghurt but not whilst Miss F is sick.)
1. Put everything into the blender and press blend. That's it. Too easy.
Some great news from yesterday is that we had a little article about us in our local paper, the Manly Daily. It was all very exciting and both Miss F and I felt like D grade celebrities for the day. The photo looked a lot better than what I was expecting as the whole shoot was a real debacle.

Co-founded in 1992 by pianist Marilyn Thompson and cellist Jill Rachuy Brindel, TRIO NAVARRO celebrates its 23rd season as chamber music artists in residence at Sonoma State.
Comprised of violinist Victor Romasevich, cellist Jill Rachuy Brindel and pianist Marilyn Thompson, TRIO NAVARRO has performed virtually the entire "standard" piano trio repertoire.
They are advocates of out-of-print and rarely performed works by composers including Serge Teneyev, Rebecca Clarke, Paul Juon and Fanny Mendelssohn-Hensel. In the contemporary vein, they have performed trios by Chick Correa, Richard Danielpour, Brian S. Wilson, Kirke Mechem and Paul Schoenfeld.
Their frequent collaborations with instrumentalists from the San Francisco Symphony, Opera, and Ballet orchestras have resulted in performances of chamber works by Vaughan Williams (Quintet in D); Brahms (Horn Trio); Wilson (Horn Trio); Schumann (Piano Quartet, Piano Quintet); and Catoire, Mozart, Saint Saëns and Fauré (Piano Quartets), among others.
Trio Navarro's 2014-15 season in Schroeder Recital Hall
October 26 at 2 p.m.
January 25 at 2 p.m.
March 29 at 2 p.m.
Pianist Marilyn Thompson received her Bachelor's Degree from the San Francisco Conservatory of Music, where she was a student of Adolph Baller. She was awarded a Fulbright grant to the Vienna Academy of Music, and subsequently received her Master's Degree from Stanford University, where she studied under the Helen Evans Memorial Scholarship on a full-tuition grant. While at Stanford, she gave the West Coast Premier of Roger Sessions' Piano Concerto. She has given countless recitals in the United States and abroad, and has been the featured soloist in concerti of Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Mendelssohn, Brahms, Rachmaninoff, Gershwin, Martinu, Hindemith, Barber and others.
She has performed virtually the entire standard chamber music repertoire. Her recordings include performances of the Thomas Beversdorf Cello Sonata, the Brahms Trio, Op. 87, and Ravel's Violin-Piano Sonate. Miss Thompson has performed in chamber music concerts in Alice Tully Hall, Lincoln Center; the 92nd Street "Y" in New York City; the Philip's Gallery, Washington D.C.; Boston's Symphony Hall; Davies Symphony Hall in San Francisco; and in the Teatro Nacional, San Jose, Costa Rica. In the 1980s she was the pianist member of the Chamber Soloists of San Francisco and the San Francisco Trio. At the present time Miss Thompson is the pianist of the TRIO NAVARRO – which she co-founded in 1992 with cellist Jill Rachuy Brindel – a group that performs frequently throughout the Bay Area. Marilyn Thompson has taught at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music; the College of Holy Names, Oakland, California; at the University of California at Santa Cruz; and is presently on the faculty of Sonoma State University where she has taught since 1976.
Violinist and violist Victor Romasevich was born in Minsk, Belarus. His mother, Lena Lubotsky, began teaching him piano when he was four. At five, he started violin studies with Anna Silberstein. At six, he enrolled in the violin class of Mikhail Garlitsky and Lev Sharinov at The Gnesin Music School in Moscow. As a youth he studied violin with Rostislav Dubinsky of the Borodin Quartet. He continued his training at the Moscow Conservatory with Boris Belenky and Nadia Beshkina. Following his emigration to the United States in 1977, he studied at The Juilliard School with Ivan Galamian. In 1979 he became a violin and viola pupil of the composer and philosopher Iosif Andriasov. Winner of the Gina Bachauer Prize at the 1985 J.S. Bach International Competition, Mr. Romasevich joined the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra as Associate Principal Violist in 1990, and in 1992 moved to the First Violin section. He appears frequently in recitals and chamber concerts as a violinist, violist, and keyboard player.
Jill Rachuy Brindel has been a cellist with the San Francisco Symphony since 1980 and a co-founder and member of TRIO NAVARRO, an ensemble hailed as "the premier trio of Northern California" by Classical Sonoma. Ms. Brindel studied at Indiana University and Chicago Musical College and was formerly Assistant Principal Cellist of the Lyric Opera of Chicago Orchestra, Principal Cellist of the Mendocino Music Festival for its first six years, cellist for the Navarro Quartet and a member of the Houston Symphony. She has performed chamber music at Kohl Mansion, the Russian River Chamber Festival, Old First Church, the Ralston Chamber Series and Chamber Music Sundaes. In 2006 she returned to the Mendocino Music Festival as Principal Cellist and chamber soloist and in 2009 she became co-director of the Emerging Artists Program at the festival. Ms. Brindel actively promotes the music of her late father, composer Bernard Brindel. She is a private instructor of cello as well as the coach for the cello section of the SFS Youth Orchestra. Ms. Brindel has given seminars on audition techniques to students at the University of Nevada at Reno and the New World Symphony.

If you are already a guest or a member sign in below.
While emulsifiers and other "improvers" are widely accepted as safe, preservatives are more controversial. Introduced in the 1990s as a mould retardant, calcium propionate, or 282, is the best-known preservative of public concern.
Although approved by Food Standards Australia and New Zealand (FSANZ) for use at specified levels, a furore erupted when a study by Sue Dengate of 27 children published in the Journal of Paediatrics and Child Health in 2002 showed 282 to be associated with irritability, restlessness, inattention and sleep disturbance.
In response to consumer concern, most breadmakers removed 282 from many of their products. Bakers Delight advises it does not use any artificial preservatives, while Brumby's claims not to use 282 or 223 and to minimise preservatives where it can. Other bread manufacturers, such as Baker's Life (Aldi), Goodman Fielder and George Weston, advertise on some packaging that they are free of 282, preservatives or artificial preservatives.
However, these companies still use 282 in other products such as crumpets, muffins, Turkish bread and pizza bases. It's also widely found in wraps. We found 282 in Buttercup Country Split Wholemeal bread, Goodman Fielder's Helga's Schinkenbrot loaf and Sandwich Thins, and Country Life Gluten Free Breads.
With 282 a dirty word for some consumers, some breadmakers get around the problem by using its close relative propionic acid (280) instead.
The internet is awash with warnings of the dangers of 282 and other food additives, pointing to a cumulative cocktail in the body which can lead to a host of symptoms from migraine and tiredness to rashes, gastro-intestinal upsets and depression.
Propionates (280-283) are on the list of food additives that can be associated with food intolerance in the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital Elimination Diet. On her Food Intolerance Network website, Dengate argues that children's behaviour and learning is more affected than authorities will admit, citing stories from parents who noticed a behavioural improvement when 282 was removed from their child's diet.
But Dr Rob Loblay, director of the allergy unit at Sydney's RPA Hospital, argues that about five per cent of the general population is sensitive to one or more food additives, whether artificial or natural, and considers the push to ban additives "overblown".
"The issue is very complicated," says Vijay Jayasena, professor of food science and technology at Western Australia's Curtin University. "The first thing people should know is that not all preservatives are artificial or may cause harm, and many are useful for food safety."
Jayasena says most people won't be affected by 282, while for others it's about dosage. "It's hard to say at what level 282 may cause a reaction in each individual, because people can have reactions to so many things and at different levels. However, if you're worried about them you should avoid them."
Anti-additive campaigners argue that until additives are proved safe, FSANZ should use the precautionary principle where suspect additives are substituted with others that don't raise health concerns.
If you're worried about preservatives, Jayasena says breads baked daily in-store generally have few, if any, preservatives because any bread not sold is usually thrown out at the end of the day. Check the ingredient labels, or ask the baker what preservatives they use.

We have to admit, when Drake and Chris Brown appeared together on stage at the ESPY Awards on July 16, it was a little unexpected. Now, fans have started imagining how Rihanna felt watching the show. Check out some of the hilarious memes here!
There's no doubt Drake, 27, was one of the best (if not THE best) ESPY Awards host! However, we were a little shocked Drake brought out Chris Brown, 25, during the show to poke fun at their past feud. Seeing the two share the same stage made a lot of fans wonder how Rihanna, 26, felt about watching her exes on stage together. In fact, many fans have posted hilarious memes of what they assume Rihanna's reaction was to the show — and they are all pretty awesome (and hilarious)!
Rihanna: Hilarious Memes Of Her 2014 ESPY's Reaction

Drake & Chris Brown Bury The Hatchet At 2014 ESPYs
After their hilarious sketch at the ESPY's, it seems like Drake and Chris have ended their feud once and for all.
In the past, they've dissed each other many times and even gotten into a brawl over Rihanna — but it looks like those days are over.
They're so friendly now that they're working on a music collaboration! We can't wait to hear it!
What do you think, HollywoodLifers? Have Drake and Chris really made up for good?

To me the most interesting one was given by mtv.
Anyway, I think a person like Rihanna faces life events with a higher EQ. She 's already aware of the UNEXPECTED. Cause she has Mars and Sturn in conjuction with Uranus. All three around the cusp of Sag and Cap in house 7. She knows about the changes (ie. in relationships) and she can surf on any wave.
With lots of fire and air signs in her chart, she is an idealist and has less fear and is more optmistic than the average man/woman. Of course for the fans some attacks are heavy. But she is the ultimate warrior (until her last day comes).

Hello there!!!! Welcome to Plum Adorable! We are Jenny and Jess, 2 friends with a love for blogs, crafty stuff, reading, and so much more! We are so inspired by the ideas and lives of so many of our favorite blogs, that we decided to start one for ourselves! And trust us when we say, we really have no idea what we are doing!! But we think it will be a fun adventure and we are so glad that you have stopped by to visit. Here is a little bit of info about us- we met at church, became fast friends who realized that we had WAY too much in common…..
1. Not only do our first names begin with J, but we were lucky enough to have one of those ever so popular 80's names that were shared with AT LEAST 2 other girls in all our classes growing up, so we had to be Jessica F. or Jenny B. along with Jessica K. Jessica M. and Jenny J. and Jenny R.!
2. We share the same middle name! We MIGHT tell you what it is….depending on how much chocolate you are willing to send our way!
3. We are both addicted to crafting and creating! Which also leads to another addiction…..BLOGS!!
4. We LOVE to read blogs and can get caught up in the reading of said blogs into the wee hours of the night or until someone kicks us off the computer!
5. We dress alike! Yep, we will show up at church in practically the same outfit (especially if it includes jeans, a tank and cute sweater and really cute flats!) and NO we did not call each other the night before to coordinate! It also happens with our kids! Not only similar outfits, but colors too!
6. We are both a little bit PARTICULAR about how we like things done (some might call it OCD, but that sounds so clinical!) and we are working this out daily. We have moved on from having to see vacuum lines in the carpet on a daily basis.
7. We LOVE photography and really want to become much better at it. But, I will be totally honest when I tell you that we both have awesome and expensive cameras (ask the hubby's, they'd love to talk to you about how much $ was invested into the cameras (only don't really ask because we don't really want to have that talk again!)) but the really sad part is that only ONE of us has moved their camera from the auto setting. ;( And it isn't me (Jess).
8. We LOVE to scrapbook, although that probably falls under the crafting category above, I just had to mention that we both REALLY enjoy scrapbooking! And maybe one day (when our kids are grown and out of the house) we will actually get caught up!
9. Come to find out, we both share of a love for the MOPS (Mothers of Preschoolers) program and have both been involved in leadership with it. (If you have kids under age 7, even if it is your youngest, check out a MOPS program in your area- you'll love it!)
10. We both have a hard time saying the big N-O word. Maybe that is why our calendars are overflowing and we are running in circles half the time.
11. This one is just between you and me- We are both Twilight fans!! (as in, we read the books more than once, have been to each premiere and might have even worn a T-Shirt that any 12 year old might have fought us for!) Let's move on…..
12. We both love to read and have many of the same favorite authors (if you have not read Jenny B Jones yet, get out there and get one of her books!) Have you read 'The Help' by Katherine Stockett? Go buy it NOW! Check out my review here. Jenny's side note: Jess is a reading maniac. She can read a book in a day. She read 'Water for Elephants' in 3 days! Have you seen how long that book is?
13.We are both 30-ish and that is as close as you are getting to the real numbers friend! Jenny's side note: ONE of us is 30ish…the other is tipping the halfway point of 30…ugh!
14. We were both married in the summer of 2000 and both of our birthdays are in May!
15. Our amazing husbands (Robert- Jenny's husband and Tyler- Jess' hubby) even look alike (even though they don't really think so). Just last week as we stood in our church doorway greeting people, someone came up and asked Tyler (Jess' husband) a question about children's church and Tyler said, "You must be looking for Robert, he is in charge of that", to which the person replied, "Aren't you Robert?!" :) And even though Jenny and I (Jess), look nothing alike, we are mistaken for each other A LOT! Last week at the baptismal picnic, I got called Jenny 3 times, no joke folks! :)
16. Though I am listing it last, it most certainly is not least, I think I just want it to be one of the things that you remember most about us. We both LOVE JESUS! We are also blessed to belong to an amazing church family and have the most amazing friends that we get to share too!
There are a few differences too!
1. Jenny has 3 kids and Jess only has 2! (someone is an overachiever! ;) )
2. Jess does NOT like coffee, Jenny thinks she is weird! Jenny has a bit of an obsession with coffee! (Jess will drink it if it is so disguised by chocolate and sugar that you can't even tell that it was once coffee!)
3. Jess will NEVER drive a mini van, Jenny has 3 kids- a mini van is kind of a necessity! Jenny's side note: If anyone knew me in highschool I always said I'd never drive a mini van. Does that count? I do love like my mini van. For now. And if you want to see how cool we really think we are this video sums it up quite nicely.
4. Jenny has a horse- I mean large dog (Rhodesian Ridgeback) while Jess is happy to report that there are no animals in residence! Jenny's side note: No comment.
Thanks for stopping by!
~Jess & Jenny
We'd like to thank Kevin and Amanda for letting us use their free fonts.

Time and Effort Reporting on Your Federal Grants — The Continuing Challenge and the Way Forward
April 9, 2013 Webinar - Listen On-Demand or Get a CD!
Documenting time and effort on federal grant awards has been a source of confusion, disagreement and controversy for decades. This webinar drills down on current time and effort reporting policies — and OMB's recently proposed revisions to the policies — and then analyzes how the proposed standards will impact your organization and its current practices.
The On-Demand recording will be available immediately upon purchase* as a link within a PDF file of the accompanying written materials. CDs and printed materials are shipped via USPS.
The Way Forward on Time and Effort Reporting on Federal Grants
Documenting time and effort on federal grant awards has been a source of confusion, disagreement and controversy for decades. Since compensation for personal services of employees is often the largest component of grant expenditures, and absence of documentation to support grant charges is the most common reason why costs are questioned by auditors, that's not surprising.
Numerous organizations, large and small, have been challenged on their effort reporting practices recently and have had to painfully repay disallowed costs that they couldn't support. And recipients and subrecipients from all sectors have complained loudly for years that the current requirements are burdensome and unrealistic.
So, when the Office of Management and Budget announced it was undertaking a major reform initiative on federal grants management, it was natural that it would take on revising the policies for time and effort reporting. OMB's draft plan, released on Feb. 1, calls for a single set of guidance that will be applied to all types of recipients and subrecipients. Not surprisingly, the proposed policy borrows from the current ones but perhaps not yet in ways that you might consider harmonious.
This webinar drills down on current policies and the OMB proposal, and then analyzes how the proposed standards will impact your organization and its current practices. You'll get answers to these questions:
- What are the most common effort reporting vulnerabilities?
- Which current policies served as the basis for the proposal?
- What will be the minimum expectations for your reporting system?
- To what extent are you going to be able to keep doing what you have been doing?
- How much flexibility will you have on the content and timing of documentation going forward?
- What are the possibilities for substitute systems or ones based on programmatic outputs?
- What other policies is OMB proposing that will have an impact on your future effort reporting?
- When and how can you comment on the proposal and suggest improvements?
Level: Basic
Prerequisites: Some knowledge of federal grant management and audit requirements is helpful but not necessary

Back in the early 1970′s Hot Rod magazine was looking for a project car to go racing in. What they decided to use was a 1957 Corvette with the 270hp 283ci engine and a 3 speed transmission. Once completed they tore up west drag strips en route to national ET and speed records. After it's short racing career, nothing much was heard of this car until it showed up last weekend at Detroit Autorama sporting a fresh frame off restoration.
Detroit Autorama takes place each year in early March. For those of us up here in the snowy Midwest, it's the first sign that winter may actually be over and that car show season is in the near future. 2014 marked the 62nd edition of the massive indoor custom car show. Thousands of custom, restored, and original cars fill Cobo Hall each year competing for a multitude of awards. Click past the jump to see our gallery of Corvettes for the 2014 Detroit Autorama.
This is Lydia. She began life as a basic 1964 Corvette coupe and was transformed into the finely sculptured piece of art you see here by B Rod or Custom of Knoxville, TN. Lydia was another one of our other favorites from this years' Autorama in Detroit.
While perusing the plethora of flashy rides at Detroit Autorama we stumbled across this simply stunning custom 1962 Corvette dubbed "Sixty-Two Twelve". The absolutely striking black roadster built by Cimtex Rods in Jarrell, Texas was being shown by Bruce and Judy Ricks of Sapulpa, Oklahoma.
Last weekend marked our annual pilgrimage to Cobo Hall in downtown Detroit for the yearly festival of chrome and horsepower known as Autorama. Each year thousands of attendees wander aisle after aisle checking out the custom cars, trucks, motorcycles, and hot rods. This year was the 60th installment of the show.
Photos Contributed by Steve Burns
During last week's Detroit Autorama, Cobo Hall was wall-to-wall hot rods and many of those hot rods were Corvettes. The classic hod rod Vettes ranged from originals and restomods to full blown customs like the 1962 Corvette named "Elegance" that won a spot in the Ridler Great 8. Not to be outdone, later model Corvettes included the SEMA Z06x track Corvette and a sinister Black Lingenfelter C6 Convertible were also on full display. Even Jake was in the house! Check out the full gallery after the jump.
The annual Detroit Autorama is considered the pinnacle of custom rod and car shows. Over the weekend, 100′s of cars and trucks converged on Cobo Hall in Detroit. Even as the cars were being rolled into their display areas, the judges were already sorting through the contenders until they come up with the Great 8 – the top eight cars in the show. Those cars are then considered for the prestigious Ridler Award, named after Don Ridler who in the 1960′s moved the Detroit Autorama to the forefront of custom car shows in the US. This year a 1962 Corvette was selected as one of the Autorama's Great 8.
Terry Michaelis of ProTeam Corvette compiled a great listing of the ten most significant Corvettes that sold during the last decade. Terry would know, having personally bought and sold more Corvettes than just about anybody else during that time frame. Check out his list and then I'll chime in with two sales that deserve recognition.
In 1965, as in previous years, General Motors and Chevrolet were touring the country showing off their latest products to the masses at car shows and the company-sponsored motoramas.
Marketing was concerned that the Corvette, in its third year of the fabled midyear body style, might be looking a bit aged and so they set out to create a display that became a mechanical marvel.
Selecting a 1965 Corvette Coupe from the assembly line, the car was shipped to a specialty display making company where it was fully disassembled and then operated on to create the one-of-a-kind Corvette display we see in the video.
Mounting the body to elevator arms, the coupe would rise off its chassis, exposing the car's running gear. The frame was painted in bright yellow while the engine, transmission and other mechanical parts were finished in red. Cutouts were created to display the inner workings of the car. A series of motors would operate moving components of the car allowing visitors to see exactly how the 375 horsepower fuel injected 327ci was powered.
After its life on the show circuit, whereabouts of the car were unknown. It was found in South Africa in the mid '90′s and returned to the United States where is was purchased a short time later by Al Wiseman.
This 1965 Corvette is unique in many regards, especially considering the fact that it contained the last of the fuel injected engines. With only 4 miles showing on the odometer, it truly is a time capsule.
Back at the auction, bidding was steady and deliberate and finally the last bid of $640,000 was called. With the addition of the 10% buyers commission, total price of the 1965 Chevrolet Corvette Cutaway Autorama Display was $704,000. The buyer of this unique Corvette was Detroit's Showdown Muscle Cars.

AutoVirt Inc., a provider of migration and management software for unstructured data on Windows networks, will announce at next week's Storage Networking World (SNW) Fall 2009 the release of AutoVirt version 3.0 (v3.0), featuring enhancements in the areas of storage automation policies, independent namespaces, and interoperability with Microsoft's DFS/DFS-R platform.
The new and extended capabilities of AutoVirt 3.0 enable disaster protection, business continuity, and archiving in the storage environment. These build upon AutoVirt's existing capabilities for executing a variety of storage optimization and consolidation tasks faster, less expensively, and without disrupting users.
AutoVirt of Nashua, New Hampshire provides companies of all sizes with a host of solutions that ensure data integrity, data protection, high availability (HA), disaster recovery (DR), and business continuity during critical storage projects, as well as day-to-day operations.
The AutoVirt v3.0 enhancements include automated storage management policies that execute a variety of data management operations. The policies are configured through a GUI (graphical user interface) wizard and can be set up to run immediately or at a scheduled time. All policies include ACL preservation, and configurable error handling, logging and alert capabilities. It also includes storage tiering which helps to classify data and automatically move it to the appropriate storage platform, based on its value. Move critical data to higher performing storage, while keeping less critical data on a lower cost storage alternative. Tiering provides capital and operational savings, and allows for shorter back-up and recovery windows.
The AutoVirt v3.0 enhancements also include file archiving which moves static data to an archive tier to protect it for long-term preservation and to meet regulatory guidelines. It also includes data replication that ensures multiple copies of data are available over any distance, eliminating the possibility of data loss due to corruption or disaster. It also provides data copy which helps increase the speed and efficiency of Windows data copy tasks, and device transfer which imports multi-media files from remote devices, such as CD/DVD, CAD and medical/industrial devices to networked storage.
The AutoVirt v3.0 also includes independent namespaces that leverage AutoVirt's file virtualization capabilities to organize client views of networked files, independent of location. By creating multiple namespaces, IT can update the architecture of unstructured data and preserve client shortcuts indefinitely. It also features Microsoft DFS and DFS-R interoperability which leverage any existing Microsoft DFS infrastructure with AutoVirt's management capabilities and automation policies layered on top.
Terri McClure, an analyst with the Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG) stated, "Our research indicates that the vast majority of customer data is unstructured Windows file data. With growth estimated at 50% - 80% annually, unstructured Windows file data management has been pushed to the top of many IT shops 'To Do' lists. Unfortunately, there have been very few affordable options available to help overcome this burden. AutoVirt v3.0 offers an easy to use, Windows data management and storage task automation solution, at a highly affordable price."
"AutoVirt v3.0 delivers a complete storage management and migration solution for unstructured Windows files that is both easy to use and affordable," said Josh Klein, President and CEO of AutoVirt. "While designed and priced for the storage challenges faced by the mid-market, it is an ideal solution for IT shops of all sizes as it targets universal pain points including over-provisioning and under- utilization of storage assets, failed backups, unexpected downtime, overspending on resources, hard-to-find data and difficulty retiring older assets in order to perform tech refreshes."
AutoVirt v3.0 is immediately available, can be installed in about two hours, and requires zero implementation expense.

Imagine Solutions 2012: America at the Tipping Point
Our cities, states, country and world face daunting and critical challenges that will not be resolved by reliance on the public sector and the status quo. The need for private sector leadership has never been greater, and the third annual Imagine Solutions Conference, scheduled for March 12 and 13, 2012, at The Ritz-Carlton Golf Resort, Naples, has been designed to give these leaders the opportunity to learn, connect and act to build a better America.
A thought leader conference similar to TED and the Aspen Ideas Festival, Imagine Solutions brings about 40 world-caliber thinkers on today's most important issues to an audience of accomplished leaders in the business, education and non-profit arenas. Economist Niall Ferguson, Educator Wendy Kopp and Social Entrepreneur Paul Rieckhoff are among the 97 stellar speakers who appeared in the Conference's first two years.
But the Imagine Solutions Conference takes the process a step further — inspiring and urging those who attend to take action on what they have heard. An eighth-grade curriculum, a healthcare cost task force, and funding and counsel for speaker programs are among the many outcomes of their work.
For 2012, the Conference has designated a timely and gripping theme: "America at the Tipping Point." By exploring 10 of our country's most important challenges, Imagine Solutions will help each of us to understand our situation, and to help design a way forward.
Planned topics include:
- America's New Global Reality: A discussion by experts on Mideast, China and India about America's role in a changing world. Among those scheduled to present is the Executive Vice President of the Asia Society.
- The Information Revolution: A panel presentation of changes in how we receive information and what it means to the future. Anchored by a senior adviser to the president of the Knight Foundation, this group is slated to include the founder of MarketWatch and a trustee of the Newseum.
- It's the Economy: Economic panel focusing on impact of the debt. This session is tentatively scheduled as a group assembled and moderated by CNBC's Tyler Mathisen.
- Making Kids Competitive: Educational approaches to improve student achievement and access. Among those presenting is Shai Reshef, founder of the world's first international, on-line, tuition-free university.
- The Pioneer Spirit: Breakthrough innovations across several fields. Stanford Artificial Intelligence expert and creator of Google's driverless car Sebastian Thrun is expected to be one of the speakers.
- Greening the Future: Strategies in Energy and Environment for a sustainable country. Harvard's Rebecca Henderson is a featured presenter for this topic.
- American Spirit: Americans helping others in creative ways. Social entrepreneur Craig Keilburger, who founded "Free The Children," will help to explore this area.
- Inspirational Science: Remarkable advances in Science and Technology. This topic will consist of a one-hour program developed by PBS's "NOVA.''
- The American Psyche: The decline of optimism, the rise of partisanship, and what can reverse them. An examination of research and perspectives on how to build America confidence is the foundation of this presentation.
Attendees of earlier Imagine Solutions Conferences have called it "a four-year liberal arts education in two days" and "a sonic boom for Naples."
Speakers agree. "My mind is still spinning and I like it," said one. "The breadth of discourse was astonishing," added another.
National corporate sponsors, which have included CVS/Caremark, GE, Chevrolet, HP, the Knight Foundation, FedEx, National Geographic, and Harvard Business Review, also have been impressed, calling the speakers "thought-provoking" and describing their experience as "enriching."
In addition to providing intriguing and inspirational information to the citizens of Southwest Florida and beyond, the Imagine Solutions Conference is supporting the movement to find sustainable and systemic solutions to our greatest challenges.
Won't you join us – and become part of the solution?
The Imagine Solutions Conference is hosted by the Searching for Solutions Institute, Inc., a non-profit public foundation created in 2007 to enable exceptional leaders to leverage their capabilities to build a better America.

The Moron Test 2 Review
Think fast, but carefully, in this detailed and fun measure of your brainpower.
The Moron Test 2 is not the first app on the App Store to use the types of tests included here, but it is one of the most complete and rewarding, with a unique design, multiple tests to try your hand at, and few, if any, cheap answers that will create losing rounds. If you enjoy apps that force you to pay attention and simultaneously push your brain to really think hard, this is a must download.
The Moron Test 2 essentially runs a series of short yet rarely easy mini-games in each of the three game modes. You must answer correctly, often in a way that is counter-intuitive, to continue. If you miss a question, you must start over at the last checkpoint and you have only three chances. Some questions are simple in theory: "How many red balloons were there?" while others are tricky: "Press the diamond and then the square" (hint: it's the same shape). However, the questions manage to never be unfair and the cute nature of the game and its characters will keep you coming back for more, again and again.
The one tough thing about games like this is that the questions are always the same. While the Moron Test 2 has three tests, once you master all three, you will know all of the answers. You can improve your time, but the thrill of outsmarting the game will be long gone. Nonetheless, that will take time and in the meanwhile, it is challenging, extremely rewarding, and a lot of fun to play with both family and friends; it is a great brain training app for the iPad.

The glowing mom-to-be got friendly with the former Disney darling, and the two chattied up a storm on the red carpet! Kim even introduced Selena's performance during the show — too cute!
Kim Kardashian made a new friend in Selena Gomez during the April 14 MTV Movie Awards, and the two were spotted hugging and chatting on the red carpet! During the show, pregnant Kim even introduced Selena's performance and praised her acting and singing chops.
Selena Gomez & Kim Kardashian Chat At MTV Movie Awards
Although we don't know what the two pals were talking about, Kim's smile and Selena's warm embrace make it look like they were having a fun convo! Selena looks like she's looking down at Kim's baby bump — maybe she was complimenting her on showing off her new pregnancy curves in the black mini dress.
Selena Gomez's MTV Movie Awards Performance
After their warm red carpet meeting, Kim introduced Selena's MTV Movie Awards performance, and totally praised her for her role in the hit movie Spring Breakers, as well as Selena's successful movie career — she has her new album dropping in the summer! Selena rocked her sexy Bollywood-inspired performance — hopefully Kim's inspiring words pumped her up!
Kim Kardashian's MTV Movie Awards Style: Sexy & Chic In Black
Kim showed off her 6-month baby bump underneath a chic black dress with sheer long sleeves. Her short dress stopped right above the knee, accentuating her toned legs that she's been working hard on at the gym. Her black pointy toe pumps were also simple and chic, and her long gold necklace was a nice pop of metal to accessorize the simple look.
What do YOU think of Kim and Selena chatting up a storm, HollywoodLifers? Do you think they're new BFFs?

Travel Tips from people who've been to Subic
i was at the subic bay naval base before they turned it over to the phillipinos. i wish i could tell you about the city but i never did much sight seeing other than going from bar to bar. it was a great place for an 18 year old right out of high school. beer was cheap and lots of ladies Good tip? (0) I don't believe that Subic Bay Naval station is accessable after the last volcano blew and covered it in mud. If the area is cleaned up, you can't ask for a more beautiful sight. It is a lush green and great for hiking. Good tip? (0) don't get to drunk you will end up married and not knowing how :( Good tip? (0) Recent Updates for Subic

Simulink Real-Time |
This example shows how to trace signals with an Simulink® Real-Time™ target scope. Target scopes are used to trace or display signals on a video monitor attached to the target computer. After the script builds and downloads the oscillator model, xpcosc, to the target computer, it adds four scopes of type 'target' to the application, each scope having a different acquisition DisplayMode. The four scopes are identified by the following scope numbers: 1, 3, 6, and 7. The signals 'Signal Generator' (oscillator input) and 'Integrator1' (oscillator output) are added to and displayed on each scope.
scs(1): Scope # 1 is set to Redraw, Grid, FreeRun.
scs(2): Scope # 3 is set to Redraw, NoGrid, Signal.
scs(3): Scope # 6 is set to Numerical, - , Software.
scs(4): Scope # 7 is set to Redraw, Grid, Scope.
This example shows how to use the SET function to set multiple object property values in one command.

Jacks or Better Farm's Awesome Feather notched her sixth victory without a loss with an easy win under jockey Jeffrey Sanchez in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies on Friday at Churchill Downs.
Trained by Stanley Gold, Awesome Feather won her five previous races at Calder Casino & Race Course. The streak included a sweep of the filly division of the Florida Stallion Stakes.
"I'm speechless," said Gold after the race. "I was confident that she was right and ready to run. Basically, I wanted to see if she could do this, and she didn't disappoint me. We hoped she could just keep climbing up the ladder, and she did.
"She's always been competitive and always seemed to get it done without getting to the bottom of the tank," continued Gold. "The last time we went two turns, which was her first two-turn race, she hit another gear, but she still looked like she had more. She seemed like she still had a lot in the tank, so we thought 'Maybe, we have the real deal.'
"She's in the sale (Sunday's Fasig-Tipton November sale, hip number 10). I don't know if she'll be sold or they'll buy her back. We'll have to see," Gold said.
Awesome Feather was Gold's first Breeders' Cup starter. It was also the first Breeders' Cup mount for jockey Jeffrey Sanchez.
After the race, Sanchez said, "I waited and waited with my filly. I wanted to make one move with her. When I asked her, she went. Then, when we got in the stretch with that other filly (R Heat Lightning) and when she bumped us, my filly tried harder. She came away from that other filly. I love this filly. The first time I rode her, I told everyone that this was a champion filly. Now she is a champion filly."

When a fault develops,it is often difficult to be sure of the cause, this article will indicate some of the things to check to get a final result. You may possibly notice many of the following that could be caused by a faulty and also failing hard disk located inside the laptop.
Notebook completely dead no electricity lights etc. Surprisingly scsi ultra320 80pin is the best hard drive for laptop. The capability light may come on; the power light may come on. If you remove this drive and the laptop powers as much the bios display then this can confirm that the drive comes with failed.
The laptop may be very slow to help you power up to Windows screen. Additionally, it may respond very slowly after you try to own a program with the desktop. The scsi u320 80 pin is the another part of computer hardware.
The laptop may turn to switch on into Microsoft windows then stop either using or without an image in the screen. Hard propels may create 'bad blocks' where an important part of the top of drive medium is destroyed, this can account for the stalling with the loading of Windows. Other triggered of stalling may very well be faulty memory, faulty CPU or defective software, more tests is necessary to verify that that drive is faulty The majority drives possess a feature termed 'Smart'. This could possibly give early warning to your laptop user that this drive is about to fail. The get may apparently be functioning correctly, but in cases where a smart warning is seen then work and data ought to be immediately backed up and that drive exchanged.
Sometimes a drive gets to be noisy; this will indicate that it needs replacing, although several makes usually are noisier when compared to others. When beginning the laptop a requester is noted indicating that scandisk will likely be run. This may be caused by way of the hard generate detecting some sort of possible misread with the media. The scandisk applications attempts to check on the maximum structure in the software in the drive together with correct where possible. You will be always close down that laptop properly then scandisk may very well be triggered.

Silicone Prototype: Short Run Silicone Parts
Minimizing the customer's up front tooling investment is an important part of our product development service. Casco Bay Molding continues to work on in house tooling/engineering and works closely with two area tool shops enabling us to provide quick turn – tool steel core and cavity sets for customer short run or prototype LSR projects.
Casco Bay Molding has also invested in a Micro Molding Silicone core and cavity set that is integrated with a valve-gated Micro Molding system. Shot to shot consistency is obtained with accurate valve gate control per the CBM Kipe Mold "cold deck" mold base, and used for short run or high production LSR part production.
To our knowledge there is no Stereolithography (SLA) or 3D Printer Silicone based Silicone material currently available. We provide SLA- 3D Printed customer parts in a PolyJet vinyl based material. PolyJet is far from ideal when compared to LSR. PolyJet is about 80 durometer, brittle, with no real elongation and out gases vinyl. However, a PolyJet part can be a valuable visualization tool, giving customers something to hold in their hand and immediate feedback on their part.
Another technique is to hand inject small molds with our tabletop LSR injection unit. These shortcuts can be helpful for checking actual Silicone shrinkage for a given LSR supplier and grade with a given part thickness or cross sectional area.
Generally we do not provide Room Temperature Vulcanized (RTV) Silicone Rubber parts. RTV Silicone does not have the same physical characteristics as LSR and is normally a 10:1 ratio requiring special pumping equipment or hand mixing. Frequently, RTV parts are "baked" in an oven after injection to accelerate part curing.
We have employed Aluminum tooling, however, the small material savings is not worth the disadvantage of having the AL warp after thermal cycling. Core & cavity (C&C) sets are ideal for producing LSR parts, generally running between 300 and 390°F in one of our LSR mold bases.

Paid Sick and Safe Time
As of September 1, 2012, employees in the City of Seattle accrue paid sick and paid safe time (PSST) for use when an employee or family member needs to take time off from work due to illness or a critical safety issue. The ordinance applies to all employers with more than four full-time equivalent employees. All employees are eligible for the new benefit, including full time, part-time and temporary workers.
Employees will be able to use their accrued PSST as paid time off:
- To deal with their own illness, injury or health condition.
- To take care of a family member (including domestic partners) with an illness, injury or medical appointment.
- When their place of business has been closed by order of a public official for health reasons.
- For reasons related to domestic violence, sexual assault, or stalking.
For more information or to schedule a presentation, call 206-684-4500 or email us:

I always loved to read. My mom says when I was young, she would send me to my room if I were bad, but for me that wasn't punishment. I would sit there, happily reading and yes, talking to myself.
Now, I live in Kingsport, TN with my husband, two dogs, four birds, and numerous fish. Our daughter goes to college. Yeah, I still talk to myself.

Second-graders go barefoot to send shoes to Africa
Feb. 25, 2011 at 8 p.m.
Updated Feb. 24, 2011 at 8:25 p.m.
IF YOU GOWHAT: Barefoot Sunday
WHERE: Renegade Church, 3002 N. Navarro St.
WHEN: 6 - 8 p.m., Sunday
EXPECT: Music and a message from program founder Palmer Chinchen.
FOR MORE INFO: Go to www.barefootsunday.org, or call Jennifer Preyss at 361-580-6535
DROP OFF YOUR SHOES: You can drop off your shoes at the event or in bins at the following locations:
The Victoria Advocate
Parkway Church
John Wesley United Methodist Church
University of Houston-Victoria
Trinity Episcopal Church
Renegade Church
Faith Family Church
Central Church of Christ
St. Joseph High School
Victoria East and West high schools
Jennifer Preyss, who is the local organizer and the faith reporter at the Victoria Advocate, said the original goal of the event was to collect 1,000 pairs of shoes. If they exceed their goal, the extra shoes will be donated to Kidz Connection, a Victoria school district group that helps underprivileged children.
Jayden Dorsett wobbled on one foot as her second-grade teacher, Dan Laughhunn, unclasped her pink slipper before class Friday morning.
When both of the 8-year-old's shoes were successfully removed, Jayden dropped them in a container and walked barefoot back to her classroom at Faith Academy.
One by one, her 16 classmates followed, collectively gathering about 70 pairs of shoes for the Barefoot Sunday project, which will send the shoes to Malawi, Africa.
"It's really fun when we get to do stuff for people," Jayden said, while lugging two bags of shoes.
She explained why she brought several pairs of shoes to give away, including her 4-year-old brother's.
"Some kids, they don't have shoes, and sometimes they need more than one pair because sometimes they grow out of them," she said.
Laughhunn said he read about the project in the Advocate, which is sponsoring the event, and encouraged his students to bring shoes to donate on the day termed Barefoot Friday.
"I told them to bring one pair of shoes. It looks like everyone brought a sack of shoes," Laughhunn said. "They really got into the spirit."
Laughhunn said he explained to the students the purpose of going barefoot - to identify with what kids across the world may go through and to share blessings with others.
"We're not supposed to be self-centered, even as second-graders," he said. "As the day goes on, it will be difficult. That's the point. It is fun to give, but at the same time, it does cost you."
Seven-year-old Gabby Salinas dangled her purple socks from her chair and said that while it was fun to be barefoot for a day, she certainly wouldn't want to live that way.
"Because if you step on rocks, it's going to hurt," she said.
She and other students seemed to grasp the purpose of the project, and Gabby said she felt for the kids who aren't able to have shoes.
"It felt nice, because they don't have a Walmart or anything over there," she said.
Laughhunn said he was so touched by his students' participation and excitement, he hopes to get the whole school on board with the project next year.
"This is my all-time favorite day as a teacher," Laughhunn said. "This is like Christmas in reverse. This is the first time I get to see everyone excited because they're giving to others."
Just then, a student gave Laughhunn a drawing in the teacher's favorite color - blue - that showed kids in Africa receiving the class' shoes.
"This is the most giving class I've ever had," Laughhunn said.
