As we grow, the items that entertain Maximo change as well. In honor of our first train trip to Baltimore/DC this weekend, I thought I would share the five essential items that go us through with ease – yes EASE! These can keep a curious toddler busy for hours, AND they're compact so they travel easy when you need to pack light.
1. Tiggly
These four little shapes pack up nicely in your travel bag, and go with your iPad (which I KNOW you didn't leave home without.) They have a bunch of different apps and games that you can download to coordinate with them and age levels as well. Amazon price: $26.71
2. Melissa and Doug Reusable Sticker Pads
These are the toys that keep on giving. This huge book full of hundreds of – you heard correctly – REUSABLE stickers – keep toddlers busy for hours. They can stick and re-stick till their hearts content and then re-stick again. There are tons of different themes available AND they're only $5!
3. Crayola Color Wonder
If your child loves to color, this is the best way to allow them that freedom without getting it on everyone (and everything). Crayola's Color Wonder was introduced to me by a mom, and I feel I have to pass on the knowledge. It's the best thing ever, and you can find new coloring books in almost any toy store or even drugstores! AND they even make travel-totes that can hold the coloring books and markers INSIDE, while providing a hard cover to color on OUTSIDE. Oh we love you, Crayola. Amazon price: $9.70
4. Usborne Wipe-Clean Activity Books
You're going to look at this book and think, "Why didn't I think of that?" Yes, it's like a wipe-away calendar only as an activity book for kids. Did you hear that? It's REUSABLE TOO! The kids can color and draw and connect the dots all day long, and then all you have to do is wipe it clean with water. You'll never have to buy another activity book again! Amazon price: $5
5. Munchie Mug
Well we know you're not going on a trip without snacks. I've been in love with this thing forever and I still am. It's light-weight and the perfect size to actually hold a substantial amount of snacks, AND it has a cloth opening – that means it holds the food in and let's little hands grab it easily. How many times does your snack holder spill everything everywhere? Exactly. This is life changing. Trust me. Amazon price: $16.99

Computer Vision Tech Grabs Humans In Real-Time 3D 110
from the my-soul-is-in-there dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
Right now, 3D camera technology to scan a hand-made prototype into commercial CAD software revolves around a scanning laser, and special cameras, and a turn table.
Combining this technology with other image mapping software would allow you to use 3 or 4 fixed cameras with overlapping FOVs, you would be able to simply set your source model on a table, turn on the lights, take a picture, and you are done.
I would SOO love to have a FOSS implementation of this modeling software.
(I sculpt, and being able to make a large physical object, scan it, then send the digital model to a rapid prototype house and get a miniature size made from the digital version would be VERY handy.)
Instead of red green and blue, could they use three different frequencies in the infrared range? Then they could also take photographs in normal visible light and wrap then around the model.
This is how the Martians see us.

Returnil Virtual System 2010 Home Classic
Returnil Virtual System 2010 Home Lux : Antivirus Preferences By default the antivirus system uses "proven detection rules"; I kept this setting for testing. By default it sends samples to Returnil's research team.
15 / 20
Bottom Line
With virtualization app Returnil installed, malware can't permanently damage your PCrebooting wipes out all changes. Since malicious programs can transmit private information before you reboot, Returnil includes antivirus. However, in testing it proved worthless. Get the Home Classic edition with no antivirus and add better AV from another vendor.

Internet problems...unable to access forum
I have been having internet connection issues for over a month now. First it was b/c the squirrels had chewed the cable lines and now Time Warner is telling me that there is a high speed issue in the Buffalo/Niagara area. There are days when I can't get online or get mail at all so for those that may have emailed me and didn't get a reply that is why. Hopefully they will get it fixed soon.
Husky & Remy, don't know if you have emailed me or not and don't know if it is too late in the year to get together. I do still have seed for you both. Am doing cuttings now of some salvias so I don't have to bring the big plants in for the winter this year.
You're not alone, Penny. When Adelphia service was taken over by Time Warner, I had incredible problems, with no service for big parts of the day on a regular basis. My business depends on reliable internet connection for not only email, and internet access but to send and receive large drawing files. My phone service is also through the internet so when the cable goes down, I am dead in the water. (Nothing to do but go out and work in the garden.)
I just moved over the last few weeks and thought I was going to be in trouble since there is no cable out in this remote part of the Adirondacks, but I was surprised that high-speed DSL was available and I find the connection speed to be acceptable, even for VOIP. And it hasn't gone down even once since I've been here.
Of course, you can't watch Wheel Of Torture and other mindless TV junk over the DSL line.
Hi Penny,
I was wondering where you went! And I am an idiot. It just hit me that I do have your phone number. Well, I'm glad it was just bad internet service that kept you away.
I took a great leap of faith and I planted the Salvias, Black and Blue and VanRemsen, along the south side of the house where Tutti Fruitti is happy. I also planted the Red Yucca there. I have no room left at the inn, lol. I aquired a blue passion fruit vine, so that has to come in. I'm also taking cuttings of my Red Leaf Hibiscus because that is tropical. So along with my other items like the Brug, and the Key Lime, I really do not have room where there is enough light.
I also feel like I got seeds in a trade that I thought you would possibly like, but I can't remember of what right now! I'm losing my mind,lol.
I have my internet problems hopefully fixed. I sent you and Remy and email. The first one I sent came back as I put dot com instead of dot net so I resent the one I sent to Remy to you. I think I am pretty much open so will see what Remy has available.
I tried to switch from Adelphia to Verizon DSL, but canceled the DSL in the first week. Since I'm in a rural area, I'm too far from the Verizon "switching station (?)" to get reliable service. It was AWFUL!! The 3rd tech I spoke to told me it was definitely my computer ... what nonsense.
I learned a lesson ... I googled Verizon DSL after I signed up and read all the complaints about their service too. Though not everyone has a problem. Being rural was really a problem.
Thank goodness for the 30 day money back guarantee ...

According to the World Health Organization, about 2 billion people drink alcohol. Excessive alcohol consumption can result in alcohol addiction, which is one of the most prevalent neuropsychiatric diseases afflicting our society today. Prevention and intervention of alcohol binging in adolescents and treatment of alcoholism are major unmet challenges affecting our health-care system and society alike. Our newly formed German SysMedAlcoholism consortium is using a new systems medicine approach and intends (1) to define individual neurobehavioral risk profiles in adolescents that are predictive of alcohol use disorders later in life and (2) to identify new pharmacological targets and molecules for the treatment of alcoholism. To achieve these goals, we will use omics-information from epigenomics, genetics transcriptomics, neurodynamics, global neurochemical connectomes and neuroimaging (IMAGEN; Schumann et al. 2010) to feed mathematical prediction modules provided by two Bernstein Centers for Computational Neurosciences (Berlin and Heidelberg/Mannheim), the results of which will subsequently be functionally validated in independent clinical samples and appropriate animal models. This approach will lead to new early intervention strategies and identify innovative molecules for relapse prevention that will be tested in experimental human studies. This research program will ultimately help in consolidating addiction research clusters in Germany that can effectively conduct large clinical trials, implement early intervention strategies and impact political and healthcare decision makers.

Hopefully, your ex will admit that you two have been voluntarily operating under a new schedule for some time. The cheapest way to proceed is to write an agreement to update the schedule to the new one that has been working. However, if she refuses to admit this, you must be prepared to prove the actual schedule as best you can. Keeping a journal or calendar is one way.

In Florida, a lawyer is not legally required to draft or re-draft a will. But unless you feel more lucky than most people drafting wills, don't try to make any complicated changes in terms. You could re-type/print the whole thing and change your beneficiaries from Ann and Bob to Carlos and Doris. Then go find your own notary public and two witnesses and sign it. Please do not just cross out the old names and write in the new ones. That does not work. And some poor lawyer in your state...
2 lawyers agreed with this answer
You don't have an immediate right to seal the record, but there may be a slower, more difficult, and expensive way to do it. I assume the time for appeal has passed. You would have to attack the conviction for some constitutional or legal infirmity, and if you are successful, you will have removed the impediment to sealing or expunging the record. One example would be a prisoner who is released years after conviction when new evidence of his innocence is discovered.
Under Florida law, anyone who possesses an original will of a deceased person must file it with the court. You could try calling all lawyers in that area who write wills. Unfortunately, she may have used a form from a book. The person who would know best if she had a will would be the one who went through her possessions. If she used an internet form, there may be a copy on her computer. Also, it may be sitting in a safe deposit box: you could ask at her bank.
I would add that expunction should be available if you are acquitted or the case is dismissed.
Child support is calculated the same way for married and unmarried people. But if the father does not admit his status, you are going to have to prove it. The Court might treat you as if you earn some money if it decides you could if you tried. All issues about time with the children will be decided based on what the evidence shows is in their best interest.
You could get a mortgage for the 25k and count yourself lucky. There is a good chance that after a lot of attorney's fees, a court would uphold her half-ownership, as she contributed money, and any extra equity to her was your gift in contemplation of marriage and/or death. Oral promises are not enforceable in real estate transactions, or contracts that cannot be completed within a year.
Under Florida law, if you plead the fifth, your refusal to answer may be used as an adverse inference against you. Of course that might be better than having a confession to a crime used against you. There are ways out of this dilemma which an attorney can advise you about.
I am not familiar with Texas homicide law. Even if a case pleads out quickly, usually, a lawyer has done some investigation. Only that way can a client be advised as to the best course. Sometimes a quick plea is a result of a fair deal in an unwinnable case. You should retrace the investigation done by the lawyer before throwing stones.

Influenced by the textures, colors and landscapes of her Chicago milieu as well as the more rural environment of the small town in Nigeria where she was raised, Okore's new fiber and paper works explore the fluidity of life, finding beauty in the inevitable processes of aging and decay. Okore is a professor of art at Chicago's North Park University and was the recipient of a Fulbright Scholar Award in 2013.

Let Children Be Children: Lewis Wickes Hine's Crusade Against Child Labor
A telling look at the industrialization of America, this photographic exhibition from the George Eastman House International Museum of Photography and Film in Rochester, NY reveals the circumstances that poor working children endured until legislation against child labor prevailed as late as 1938. Lewis Wickes Hine (American, 1874-1940) was a sociologist whose photographs captured his abiding concern for children, immigrants, and working-class people. He was hired by the National Child Labor Committee (NCLC) in 1906 to document the harsh conditions in which children worked. Hine spent ten years photographing in the canneries, coal mines, cotton mills, farms, and sweatshops common during the early 20th century. Through the use of photography, Hine and the NCLC gained the attention of government officials and aroused public sentiment against child labor practices in the United States.

Melt-in-your-mouth beans
Can someone recommend a good tender melt-in-your-mouth kind of bean? I planted some Haricot Vert French Filet green beans thinking they would be like this, but they weren't, they were snappy/crunchy kind. They produced really well but I am not a huge fan of these kind of beans...
Barksdale Wax Pole Bean is the softest snap I know. Pods are yellow, 1" wide and about 8" long. The biggest disadvantage of this bean is that it does not like warm, dry nights. It has very low production when the weather is hot. Then, when nights cool, it will kick into high gear... if it survived to that point. Here in Oklahoma that's the problem. If often doesn't make it. But this summer we've had some cooler temps and much more ran than normal My Barksdale are looking GREAT!
Tahlequah, OK
I'll stretch the boundaries a bit by recommending the original bush variety Tenderpod. It has a recessive gene that makes the pods extemely tender. You have to plant about twice as many seed as needed, the variant gene results in low germination.
My favorite beans for tender eating are Tobacco Worm which is a pole variety.
Tobacco Worm, Tenderpod, and Golden Bacau, Barksdale... maybe I will mix it up with a couple varieties... I'll see whats available from the seed company I buy from. I'm in Zone 6, usually we have fairly hot, always very humid summers. I would like to grow pole beans but after seeing how well my tiny bush plants produce I may think twice... and they just never stopped, I thought I was supposed to get one flush and that's it, but they keep putting out more than before, I'm sick of them already.
Any votes on the best producers of the bunch? If I plant more than one kind I don't have to worry about them not producing until it is cooler out... we get plenty cool in late August and September here.
I know of no seed company which offers Barksdale. If you wish to try it, I'd recommend that you obtain seed from someone here. Also, while I like the bean, I know from having grown it in various locations and climates, that it can be difficult. I've had it flop before. Other years it out produced everything else. But I would never grow Barksdale as my main crop unless I had proven it to do well in my location for a number of years. Just a heads up!
Russ Crow's 'Blue Jay' is another great bush bean, available commercially in Canada and I'm sure you could get some from Russ if you can't find another source for them. I don't know about the 'melt in your mouth' but it is a sweet flavorful bean.
Here is a link that might be useful: A Bean Collectors Window
Sustainable Mountain Agriculture has seed for Tobacco Worm.
Really, you'll probably have to try a couple and decide what you like best.
Here is a link that might be useful: Tobacco Worm Bean Seed/ Sustainable Mountain Ag
One reason that Tobacco Worm and George's Tennessee Cutshort are so tender because they have strings and all the toughness is in the strings. Both are used as full beans.
Here is a link that might be useful: Full Beans
I only grew Jeminez once. Maybe it was the "slipskin" trait. But I recall that I didn't like the bean. (Don't let that prejudice anyone against it. It was probably more a matter of my own personal preference.)
Peter, we have been throwing around some special terminology. "Tender" doesn't always refer to simply easy to chew pods. A tender podded bean, in specialized "bean circles," refers to a special genetic trait that makes it so that the bean seems to localize any toughening in strings, instead of throughout the pod. So, when the strings are pulled, the pod remains tender, much much longer than a regular bean, which does not have this trait. But a "non-tender podded bean" may be quite tender for eating if picked young. The great majority of green beans out there fit this category.
Barksdale is fairly unique, in that it is both tenderpodded and stringless. It is so tender that I find sometimes I wish it had a bit more substance to the pod.
On the other end of the spectrum for tender podded beans, I find Woods Mountain Crazy Bean to have chewier pods when allowed to develop strings and filled out seed. They are still good to eat. But they have a whole lot more substance to them than Barksdale.
Here's an example, mine are past the full bean stage so can't show that. 'Tennessee Cutshort' has strings, you can see the strings on the bean on the left, cutting the ends off is called tip and tailing them. The one in the middle shows what they look like as shellies (fully formed but haven't started to dry down), the one on the right shows what they look like dried. This bean can be used as a snap, as a full bean (not quite at the shelly stage, the pod still has some substance....this is how I like them), shelly or dried.
I haven't run into this myself but think slip skin is when the outer skin of the pod slips off leaving a slimy looking pod.
Each pod has a seam, which runs top and bottom from the stem to the tip of the bean. In a true string bean that seam has a fiber which runs along the top and bottom seam. It is literally like a little string. if you fail to get rid of it, you will be pulling it out of your mouth when you eat that bean, as it does not chew up very well.
True string beans have almost all their fiber along the seams of the pods. It's as if the bean plant localizes all that tough fiber into the seam of the pods, leaving the rest of the pod exceptionally tender, when it begins to age, rather than becoming tough and fiberous.
So the advantage of the tender podded bean is that you can eat and enjoy it when it is much older than a normal modern variety. In parts of the South, it is traditional to let the seeds fill out before picking and cooking string beans. This results in a pot of pods and shelly beans, all mixed together.
The disadvantage of the string bean, is that you have to string it, which takes a little extra time.
Barksdale Wax is a tender podded bean, just like so many string beans. But it never has any strings either. More common snaps are stringless, but their pods develop tough fiber in them when they are maturing their seed. This is not to say that a stringless (or tough podded bean, as I would sometimes say) is a tough bean. It can be succulent when young. But it won't be tender when the seed in its pods is maturing.
French Filet types are best when very slim. Older pods get tougher.
One aspect of tenderness is how long the pods are cooked. I hear some people cook beans for 30 minutes, or more. If Jeminez were cooked for that amount of time I think the pod might just about dissolve. About 3-4 minutes is all it needs. At about 5 minutes the outer skin starts to slip off. A few minutes more and the whole pod is falling apart.
Stimson Pole bean, that's the first snap which I tried and didn't like. I believe it is, what was previously described as a slip skin. If one likes this trait, then Stimson would be a great bean, as it is very tender and prolific. I found it mentioned by Fedco Seeds. I bet it's for the same reason that I didn't care for Jimenez. Yet, I recall a good many others raving about both of these beans,
Thanks for the explanation.. makes sense now. Now that I know how to cook tender beans, I think I will go more with what grows better, than what grows the largest and is still good.

Singing trainer told to keep his day job
The 2010 Del Mar racing season may be etched into public memory not so much by the races but by debonair trainer Bob Baffert slipping out of character to sing the racetrack theme song in a Gaslamp Quarter bar — slightly off-key — for a televised track promo.
"I don't normally drink," said Baffert back at the track on opening day Wednesday. "But I had to have a couple of drinks to do that." When asked what feedback he was getting, Baffert quickly replied: "People say, 'Stick to your day job.'"
The commercial, filmed at the Stingaree nightclub, is all part of the Del Mar Thoroughbred Club's effort to be hipper and edgier and attract an ever-younger racing crowd.
Alternating with the white-haired Baffert is former "Bachelorette" suitor Kiptyn Locke, celebrity chef Brian Malarkey and songwriter Michael Tiernan.
If yesterday's attendance was any indication, the marketing strategy is paying off. Along with the rich and the well-heeled, and those toting beach chairs and coolers, were many of the young and beautiful looking for action both on the track and off.
Hollywood heyday: There was still a hint of the Hollywood glamour of yesteryear. Actress Bo Derek, a bona fide horse lover and member of the California Horse Racing Board, was a star attraction in the director's box. She was there sans boyfriend John Corbett, who recently told Regis Philbin they will get married — some day.
Actress Constance Towers, married to actor John Gavin, former U.S. ambassador to Mexico, was also in the crowd. MTV "Yo Momma" host Wilmer Valderrama was expected to attend but was a no show.
While there wasn't a big Hollywood presence Wednesday, there will be Saturday when S. D. native Mario Lopez brings his "Extra" TV crew there to film.
Where are the goal posts? NFL quarterbacks were in the crowd, including Oakland Raiders quarterback Kyle Boller with his beauty queen bride, Carrie Prejean.
The couple, who married last month, met at the Turf Club last July. Prejean sang the track theme song on Opening Day last year, while pop vocalist Taylor Dayne had the honors Wednesday.
Other quarterbacks who gathered in a private suite included free agent Jeff Garcia; Green Bay Packers' Aaron Rodgers; and St. Louis Rams' A.J. Feeley. Former Dallas Cowboys Hall of Fame quarterback Troy Aikman was also on hand. Race officials joked about keeping linebacker Shawne Merriman away from their room. "He might sack them," said marketing V.P. Craig Dado.
Rounding out the sports roster was Olympic alpine ski gold medalist Bode Miller.
Owners at the track: For racehorse owner Jenny Craig, just back from a family safari to Africa, Opening Day was bitter sweet. It was the two-year anniversary of the death of her husband, Sid. She was at her track-side table rooting for their horse, Twirling Candy, in the eighth race. He won by an impressive two lengths.
"It is a perfect tribute to Sid," she said. Craig has put her 22-acre Rancho Paseana in Rancho Santa Fe up for sale, but still has thoroughbreds training there.

Jaffrey says, "Here is a cooling yogurt dish that can be served with all Indian meals. It also makes an excellent snack which can be stored in the refrigerator and pulled out whenever someone comes in complaining or being tired, hot, and hungry."
Yogurt with Cucumber and Mint (Kheere ka Raita)
Madhur Jaffrey's Indian Cooking
(Serves 6)
2 2/3 cups (570 ml) plain yogurt
1 small cucumber, peeled and coarsely grated
2 Tbsp finely chopped fresh mint
1/2 tsp ground roasted cumin seeds
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
1 tsp salt
freshly ground black pepper
Place the yogurt in a bowl. Beat lightly with a fork or whisk until smooth and creamy. Add all the other ingredients and mix. Cover and refrigerate until ready to eat.
Notes/Results: Just simple and good. The cumin, cayenne and mint give this raita lots of flavor. Jaffrey doesn't instruct it but either I grate my cucumbers ahead of time and salt and drain them for an hour or two, or roll them up in paper towels and squeeze out as much of the liquid as possible. This raita is also great with grilled fish.
Happy Aloha Friday!

Rebellion Combos
So I'm at a loss as to how to perform different combos in this game. I looked around online and say a few people saying that you need to press a direction on the left stick after hitting y once, twice, or 3 times. Is this just a quick tap of the stick in any direction? and if so, can it only be done while targeting an enemy?
it is quite dumbed down and took me a while to figure out again since it was so long ago, but it is how you said. So, for example to do the the 3-hit haymaker combo is Y, stick, Y,Y
or Y,Y,Y, stick Y for the slamming launcher.
Try not to pause between inputs when you slip the direction in - just input the direction at the same pace as if it were a button press and then continue with the buttons

sound of a V8 engine making a burnout from 0-100mls in 10secs.!!!!
9 Second Buick GSX Stage2 GS Stage1 9.51 @ 140
We originally built this car with Frank Urbinati back in 1996.It debuted at
the GS Nationals where it won the GS Pro Street class races. It was also
the 1st GS Pro Street class car to break into the 9's at the time.Thanks to
Frank this project came to life. Fast forward to 2010 and the car has been
taken over by Bob Ortolani,the car still looks great and Bob decided to
bring it up another level. We were happy to have the car come back to our
shop and to have the opportunity to work with Bob and put together the new
powerplant. The video shows the results of our 1st day out to tune the
engine. The 1st two passes were shakedowns to check fuel/oil pressures and
get a feel for the new combo. By the 3rd run we had posted a 9.62 @ 138
hitting the 7100rpm rev limiter chip! The 4th run was a 9.52 @ 140. On the
5th run it went 9.51 @ 140.65! After a good cool down and a timing
adjustment we were ready to try for a 9.40 run, launching right off idle
the car gave us a nice big unexpected wheelie! The wheelie sure lookes cool
but we know we can go quicker with a little more suspension work to
straighten out the launch and try to keep the front down. We're sure it'll
go into the 9.40's yet and maybe even 30's after everything is worked out.

Muscle Car Of The Week Video #45: 1970 Buick GSX 455 Stage 1 4-Speed
Here's one for the Buick fans... a 1970 Buick GSX 455 Stage 1 4-Speed in
Saturn Yellow! Buick made 678 of these luxo-rockets in 1970, and they were
certainly out of character for the Buick brand. Producing 360 horsepower and 510 ft. lbs.
of torque, these capable street brawlers were running with the fastest
Muscle Cars from any manufacturer. In fact, Motor Trend Magazine clocked a
Stage 1 car tripping the lights in 13.35 seconds @ 105.5 mph in '70, fast
enough to be called their quickest test of 1970. The Brothers Collection
never disappoints, and it certainly appeals to all Muscle Car brands.

John Beltz was Oldsmobile's chief engineer in 1964 and one of the prime
movers of the Toronado and 442 project. Beltz was promoted to Oldsmobile
general manager at age 43 in 1969 when Harold N. Metzel retired. Beltz
passed away in May of 1972 from cancer at the age of 46.
John Beltz is leaning on a dual fan 455 Olds and posing with other
experimental Olds engines that never saw production.
Here are descriptions of these engines:
1. The 0W-43 all aluminum 455 with 4 valve per cylinders, four overhead cam
Weber engine. With a redline of just under 8,500rpm it was originally
conceived for CAN AM racing. At 3,000rpm it put out 300hp and at 6,000rpm
registered over 600hp. The top output recorded for this engine in the
Lansing Dyno facility
was 700 real hp at 6,800rpm. Tests were run with both carbueration and fuel
injection. The block was cast from Reynolds 356 alloy and fitted with
pressed-in dry steel cylinder liners for the Forged-True 12.20to 1 pistons.
Billet steel connecting rods by Carillo was used along with a forged steel
crank. The engine weighed in at 50 pounds lighter than the production 455
motor! It was developed at the same time as the ZL-1 Chevy 427 motor.
2. The W-43 4 valve per cylinder 455 developed by JOHN BELTZ , LLOYD GILL ,
JOE JONES AND FRANK BALL. Rated at 500-550hp with a single Rochester
Quadrajet on an aluminum manifold. Constructed with both cast iron heads
and block and with aluminum-alloy block and heads 75 pounds lighter than
the conventional 455 production engine. Engine featured four valves per
cylinder with narrowed angles for a super efficient combustion chamber
design, central spark plugs and could easily be adapted for chain for gear
driven overhead camshafts. 455 engine had 4.625inch cylinder centers, a
4.125 bore and 4.250 stroke. Making use of the 3inch main bearings and 2.50
inch rod journals, the engine was fitted with a specially prepared cast
crank fitted with SAE-1140 forged steel rods, forged 10.20-to-1 pistons
which rode on Morraine 400 bearings. Four bolt main block boasted 2
additional 5/8inch drain holes. Four valve heads featured 1.750inch intake
valves (SAE-8640 steel) with 22 degree stems and 1.375 Exhaust (214-N stainless steel) with 15 degree
stems, special Stellite seats, bronze alloy guides, o ring plug tubes, 14mm
spark plugs, 3/8 inch pushrods and aluminum rocker arms. (Of all the
experimental Olds engines, this one came the closest to production and
there are photos of this engine in street gear. MAY 71 HOT ROD MAGAZINE
features some of these engines and the sadness of the Olds engineers of
that time of how they would never be released.)
3. 455 dual turbocharged CAN AM ROCKET
CHALLENGE. 659hp @ 6250rpm. 554lbs torque @ 6,250 rpm. Alloy block with 4
bolt mains. Forged steel crankshaft. Forged True pistons with 8.5 to 1
compression. 3inch main journals. 2.499inch rod journals. Carillo billet
steel rods. alloy heads. 2inch intake valves. 1.625inch Exhaust valves. Crower roller camshaft with
555inch lift and 320 degrees duration. Dual TRW-375-E-10 turbochargers with Boost Wastegate 10and 1/2psi. Lucas fuel
injection. Olds alloy intake.
Competed with big block Chevy Mclarens and Porsche Panzers in CAN AM racing
circa 68-69.
This video is merely a couple of old magazine pages strung together with
the exception of that blue 455 hemi which was found on the internet. Thats
BRUCE MCLAREN in that green can am race car which is Olds powered. AT THE

To all haters of hornworms...read this
My garden was a magical place last night. As you can probably figure out- I consider myself to be the garden pest exterminator of all exterminators.....and take pride in eradicating the various pests that would do harm to my garden. I had something happen last night that has left me absolutely speechless.....It's one of those experiences where when it's over with, you have to wonder - did this just happen? I went out with a flashlight last night at about 10:30, and checked on the garden, of course....And found the usual boring bugs....squash bugs, stinkbugs, etc. - I also killed a black widow by my cantaloupes. But, as I was getting ready to walk away - I noticed a very LARGE flying thing hovering over my tomato plant section. It was the size of a small bird. Because of it's size, I actually felt very uncomfortable being that near to it. When I shined my flashlight on it, it's eyes glowed very distinctly, and for a moment - I had to ask myself...Is this really happening? It was one of the most beautiful things I have ever witnessed, and kinda looked like a fairy. I think that I actually got to experience something that very few people ever get to see. It was hovering in front of my tomato plants, and gingerly taking it's tail in a curved, kinda underhanded motion - and touching the bottom of the leaves with it. After doing this to about 3 leaves, it flew away into the night. I felt like telling it "come back". I felt truly blessed, that of all of the gardens it could have came to at that moment - it chose mine. Anyway, I went out this morning to inspect the leaves in the area it was doing it's thing at, because I suspected it was depositing it's eggs. And there it was.....a small light green, almost transparent egg - that I had seen tons of, in the month of June. The flying thing I saw last night was the adult form of the tomato hornworm, or tobacco hornworm...one of the 2. It was an unbelievable experience......Ok, now I need to go and do something very manly, like skin a hog or something....that'll get this weird, happy feeling out my body...blech!
YAY!!!! So I have NEVER seen a hummingbird around here EVER. I saw one at my window the other day, the kids and I stood in teh loft and watched it out the big window up there.
Then as I'm doing some bug research myself I came across the picture of a grown hornworm, aka hummingbird moth. So now I'm betting thats what was at my window!
Pretty neat things in the gardening world!!!!
we found one of them hummingbird moths last night, it was kinda cool!! as long as it stayed its distance!! LOL ya, i believe that there are alot of unexplained things, that is so cool how we can come up with new ways of doing things!! LIke sfg!!! i know it isn't new but to some it is. LOL ohhh crap, its gonna rain tomarrow, means i gotta get all the laundry done an hung up on the line!! LOL OOOOPSSS!!! crap letters!!! ***big grinn*** LOL ~Medo
I don't think the hummingbird moth comes from the tomato hornworm, although they are both Hawkmoths.
From Wikipedia: Hemaris is a Holarctic genus of moths in the sphingidae family, consisting of about 17 species, four of which fly in North and South America. Their main host plants are herbs and shrubs of the Dipsacaceae (Teasel) and Caprifoliaceae (Honeysuckle) families. Moths in the Hemaris genus are collectively called Clearwing Moths or Hummingbird Moths in the US, and Bee Hawk-Moths in Britain.
The Five-Spotted Hawkmoth (Manduca quinquemaculata) is a brown and gray hawk moth of the Sphingidae family. The caterpillar is often referred to as the tomato hornworm and can be a major pest in gardens.
Here is a photo of the moth that comes from the hornworm and one I took of a hummingbird moth on my daughter's honeysuckle bush this year. Note how clear the wings are (and why they are also called Clearwing moths)on the hummingbird:
So, in a word, no. I don't believe the hummingbird moth is harmful in our gardens...but I'm not 100% sure ;-)

Annie's Granny - Wow! Thanks so much for sharing the beautiful pic and the Wikipedia info.
EG - I absolutely loved your post! You had me all dreamy, then at the end, I was rolling in laughter. Great post, my very manly friend! LOL
EG - AWWWWW! and...LOL! Regardless of what you saw that night, all creatures mentioned are beautiful. Too bad the hornworm is destructive.
I think I've seen a dead hummingbird moth before, at a gas station in the window cleaning stuff. So sad...it was beautiful.
I've definitely seen actual hummingbirds. I have regular visits since I have a feeder that I keep clean (mostly). Yesterday I was standing on my back porch by the feeder, just watching where the rain is causing trouble, and along comes a little wet hummingbird for her lunch! So I stayed still and watched her get her fill (we have ruby-throats here, and this was the female, which doesn't have a ruby throat...I think). Even though I've had many semi-close encounters with hummers, I still feel like I'm getting a special visit from a fairy. Feel the same way about dragon and damsel flies.
So I picked my first bit of broccoli yesterday. Put it in the fridge. Meant to geta round to eating it lastn ight, but didn't until lunch today. I decided I wanted to steam it a bit. Luckily I took the lazy steaming route of a lil water and cover and put in micro. When I went to dump the water off to eat it. *shivers* *gags* There were 5 lil hornworms, or whatever the hell they were, dead, floating. OMG YUCK. I can't even look at my broccoli the same! I WAS just going to give the bowl to the kids to eat fresh. *gags again*
jeni3004 Those were probably cabbage worms. It's very common to find them in the broccoli. Before you cook it, just break off the florets and soak them in some cold salt water for a while, the little stinkers will float out on their own.
That's one thing about fresh veggies...I've found a little green worm in the bottom of the salad bowl before, but if he was still in the bowl, at least he wasn't in my belly! Another time I canned a whole box of pie cherries. After I filled the jars with cherries and poured the boiling syrup over them, all these little white worms came floating to the top. I dumped out the whole thing, what a loss!
Here is a link that might be useful: Annie's Kitchen Garden
jeni3004, there are "little critters" in just about everything we bring in from the garden. Really, a good scrubbing or, in the case of broccoli and cauliflower, a good soaking in lightly salted cold water removes them. Now, you could spray those broccoli plants with all kinds of poison to kill the cabbage worms, but would you want to eat them? I'd rather deal with the worms. I think the only other way you could manage them would be to use a floating row cover to keep those cute little white "buterflies" from laying their eggs on the broccoli plants.
Here is a link that might be useful: Annie's Kitchen Garden
Cover your broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, brussels sprouts with floating row cover from the time you plant until you're done your harvest. Choose a light weight variety. You'll never have those icky little worms again, and you'll cut way down on flea beetles and the like.
Here is a link that might be useful: Gary's Garden
Just had to revive this thread. On my morning garden walk something caught the corner of my eye by the melon and yellow pear tomato.
it swooped down and started to probe my marigolds. It slurped a few and then off it went in the blink of an eye, not to return while I was about.
I went on a Myth Busting mission tonight! My husband gave me a 22" blacklight for my b-day yesterday (romantic que no?) because I read that tomato hornworms glow. I am a teacher and had to try this out. Well, I am here to tell you IT WORKS! They glow- we sent 6 young ones to the dump....
I don't have a lot of space for my tomatoes, but this year I grew about 10 plants. I do not kill all of the tomato horned worms because here in VA we have a wasp that lays its eggs on the backs of the worm and the larvae consume it. I leave a worm or two for the wasps. It has worked every year such that the wasps lay their eggs and the worms do very little damage before their demise.

[Hook: Frank Ocean]
from Kanye West (Ft. Frank Ocean & Jay Z) – No Church in the Wild Lyrics on Genius
Frank opened up about working with Hov and working with the The Throne in an interview with RapUp.com. The R&B star appeared on the hook of this song and "Made In America".
On working with The Throne:
I rarely do collabs, so that's just one of the ones you absolutely do. It's like a no-brainer. I didn't really think about any of it. The last thing on my mind was working with artists who I've held in high esteem for years.
On recording with Jay-Z:
The first seven minutes or so of working with Jay was — I won't even say it was seven minutes — but it's like the initial walk-in, sit down, put your bag down, and he wasn't saying anything, and I was nervous, as soon as we started talking [it was fine]. He's super cool. I think he was just tryna make me nervous, make me sweat. It seemed a little intentional.

No room in the campground for us to stay longer, so we headed south winding up in Jackson, MS for the night.

We arrived here on Tuesday - planning to stay only 2 nights, but when we woke up this morning to pouring rain and read some of the details about the park we were planning to go to (Millwood Landing RPI Membership Park in Ashdown, AR), we decided to just add another $12/day to the automated check-in machine here at Gulpha Gorge and stay until Monday.

Basically TC is saying Dark Souls sucks because he doesn't like to read to learn the story of the game and that there are a lot of enemies trying to kill him.

Skyrim has a point to it.
It's just a game! The point is to play it, and have fun.
It seems that you can't enjoy it, because it doesn't hold your hand or shove a story down your throat. That doesn't make it a bad game; that just means you have a terrible imagination.
Currently playing Dissidia: Final Fantasy, Doom, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, Final Fantasy IX, Minecraft, and Secret of Mana.
TC would prefer a game where he can find tons of useless books lying around for him to read, like the Lusty Argonian Maid.

Went back and read TC's complaint. I just can't see how Skyrim has more of a point as a game than Dark Souls. I suppose we just have fundamentally different ideas about how a story can be told or even what a good game mechanic is.
