If there's an "in" vegetable right now, it's got to be kale. Once relegated as merely garnish, kale has finally taken center stage. From juices to chips, this leafy green seems to be everywhere. Loaded with nutrients, such as calcium and vitamins K, A and C to name a few, it's no wonder this winter vegetable has risen in popularity.
The three most common types available in the market are curly (green leaves), Tuscan (also known as lacinto, black kale or dino kale) and Russian kale (purplish-green leaves). Though interchangeable in recipes, Tuscan kale tends to be less bitter and may be a better option when offering to your kids for the first time. Don't fret if they reject kale now—remember, it can take up to 15 times for kids to like new foods! The next time your kids have kale, try these simple and tasty kid-friendly recipes.
Crispy Chicken and Kale Taquitos With Avocado Yogurt Dip
Taquitos are typically made with corn tortillas and deep fried, but this version uses whole-grain tortillas baked until crispy. Make this meal even quicker by using leftovers or store-bought rotisserie chicken.
4 whole-wheat tortillas 2 cooked chicken breasts, shredded into small pieces 1 cup low-fat shredded cheddar cheese 4 kale leaves 1 tablespoon olive oil
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Wash and dry the kale leaves and then remove the center rib. (This part of the leaf is edible, but harder to digest. It's best cooked over a longer period of time to soften the tough fiber.) Chop the kale into 1-inch ribbons and place in a microwave safe bowl. Add 2 tablespoons of water to the bowl, cover and microwave on high for 60 seconds. Drain water and set kale aside.
To assemble the taquitos, place one tortilla on a flat surface. Sprinkle 1/4 cup of cheese over the tortilla, 1/4 of the kale leaves on top of the cheese and then 1/4 of the shredded chicken breast on top of the kale. Start from one side of the tortilla and roll. Place the rolled tortilla on a baking sheet, seam side down, and brush olive oil on top. Repeat with remaining tortillas. Bake in oven for 12 to 14 minutes or until tortillas are brown and crispy.
Avocado Yogurt Dip
Spinach gives this dip the extra green hue and kids won't know it's in there! 1 avocado, halved and pitted Juice of one lime 1 garlic clove 1/4 cup non-fat Greek yogurt Handful of baby spinach leaves Salt and pepper Put all ingredients into a blender and pulse until smooth. If the dip is too thick, add 1 tablespoon of water.
Baked Kale Chips
Kale transforms into a super crispy and delicious chip in a matter of minutes. Get your kids involved by having them "massage" the kale with olive oil. 1 bunch of kale 1 tablespoon olive oil 1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon garlic powder (or any other seasoning you like!)
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Wash and dry the kale leaves (it's very important the leaves are completely dry or else the chips will not get crispy). Remove the center rib. Tear the leaves into larger pieces and place in a medium size bowl. Drizzle olive oil over kale and, using your fingers, rub the oil into all parts of each kale piece. Place the kale in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake in the oven for 12 to 14 minutes. The edges tend to curl up when they are crispy. Keep an eye out to make sure they don't burn.
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and sprinkle salt and garlic powder over the kale.

The blaring sound boxes fell silent, cultural troupes wound up their performances and flashy sports utility vehicles carrying the leaders of political parties sped away, as electioneering came to an end at 5 p.m. on Friday in the Sankarankoil reserved constituency, where a by-election will be held on Sunday.
Minor skirmishes were reported as campaigning attained a feverish pitch before coming to an end. The cadres of various parties were seen indulging in last-minute canvassing for votes.
Parties such as the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam, Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam, Marumalarchi Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam and Desiya Murpokku Dravida Kazhagam had inducted their leaders and cadre from various parts of Tamil Nadu for electioneering and all of them contributed their bit despite the soaring mercury level.
Vaiko call to voters
Concluding his hectic 23-day campaign, Marumalarchi Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam general secretary Vaiko recalled that the Dindigul by-election in 1973, which witnessed the election of Maya Thevar of the Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam to Parliament, brought about a turnaround in the political history of the State and political career of M.G. Ramachandran, who successfully fielded his party candidate in the battle of ballots after floating his own outfit.
Several other by-polls in Tamil Nadu had also produced similar revolutionary results with the voters teaching a lesson to the autocratic administrators, said Mr. Vaiko. "Since you (the voters of Sankarankoil) are also suffering from anarchic governance for the past ten months and several nagging issues such as power cuts, you should teach an unforgettable lesson to the AIADMK by supporting the MDMK candidate T. Sadan Thirumalaikumar."
Mr. Vaiko said that he doubted whether the March 18 by-election would be conducted in a free and fair manner as "the ruling party is luring voters with money." He demanded that the poll be postponed.
Desiya Murpokku Dravida Kazhagam founder president Vijaykant, addressing his last election campaign meeting on North Car Street, levelled a similar allegation against the AIADMK.
Union Minister D. Napoleon, who skipped the presentation of the Union Budget for electioneering, listed the "achievements" of the previous Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam regime and urged voters to vote for the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam candidate J. Jawahar Suryakumar.
As electioneering concluded, all outsiders were asked to leave the constituency.
Directive to lodges
The owners of lodges in the constituency were asked to allocate rooms only on production of a 'no objection certificate' from the Inspector of Police concerned.
Indian Made Foreign Liquor retail outlets in Tirunelveli and Tuticorin districts will remain closed till 5 p.m. on March 18.
Apart from six companies of Central forces, 12 companies of the Tamil Nadu Special Police have been deployed across the constituency. Moreover, 24 mobile police teams are moving across the length and breadth of Sankarankovil in addition to patrol teams led by Inspectors and DSPs.

The Delhi high court has upheld the union information and broadcasting ministry's decision to ban telecast of entertainment channel Comedy Central for 10 days starting Saturday for airing programmes that utter "dialogues, denigrating women".
The ministry had ordered the entertainment channel on May 17 to go off air from May 25 to June 4 for telecasting "obscene dialogues and vulgar words derogatory to women" on May 26, 2012 in a programme titled 'Stand Up Club' and on another programme titled 'Popcorn' on July 4, 2012.
"The portrayal in the programme did not appear suitable for unrestricted public exhibition and children," the order said, referring to the programme aired on May 26, 2012. It showed a man performing an act of stand-up comedy with suggestive gestures and gyration.
"During his performance, the man was shown uttering dialogues denigrating women, indecently and crudely referred to sex organs of men and women and the sing-song rendition by the man sought to pornographically describe the male lust, depicting women as a commodity of sex," it added.
The ministry had issued a show cause notice to the channel for telecast of the said programmes which appeared to violate many provisions of the Cable Television Networks Rules, 1994.
The provisions include: no programme should be carried in the cable service which offends against good taste or decency; no programme should be carried which contains anything obscene, defamatory, deliberate, false and suggestive innuendos and half truths.
It also says that no programme should be carried which denigrates women through the depiction in any manner of the figure of woman, her form or body or any part thereof in such a way as to have the effect of being indecent or derogatory to women or is likely to injure the public morality.
In another show, titled Popcorn, on July 4, 2012, the channel showed some members of the crew playing pranks in public. They performed acts taking passers-by with surprised who were unaware of the hidden camera that was capturing the whole scene.
During the programme, one of the crew members was shown standing opposite a wall, in a shop holding a pair of fake legs against his thighs in his hands and making suggestive movements similar to having sex.
A lady passerby was shown looking at the prankster in complete bewilderment.
On Friday, the Delhi high court dismissed a Viacom 18 Media Pvt Ltd plea against the government decision. Justice VK Jain said the penalty prohibiting the telecast of the channel for 10 days cannot be termed as "excessive, harsh or unreasonable".
"Considering that the penalty could be prohibition of telecast up to 30 days for first violation and up to 90 days in case of second violation, the penalty imposed upon the channel cannot be said to be excessive or unreasonable. Even if one were to exclude the second violation i.e. telecast of the programme Popcorn from consideration, the penalty, prohibiting the telecast for 10 days for the first violation alone cannot be said to be excessive, harsh or unreasonable," the court said, referring to a 2011 policy on the guidelines for up-linking of television channels from India.

Ooops, is really what it is, but hey it happens. Well actually it really doesn't happen anymore except on rare lots where the fee simple portion isn't large enough to build a home on, but it did happen quite a few times and this type of ownership exists and we have to deal with it.
You'll need to go back and read my detailed explanation of "strip lease lots" to really understand what a Residential Access lease is on Lake Sinclair. That's because this ownership is a strip lease lot where the dwelling encroaches on the part of the land owned by Georgia Power.
In my example the right the part of the plat that is #1 is fee simple, the part that is #2 is leased from Georgia Power. The part where the red X is a structure on the land that is owned by and leased from Georgia power. When this occurred in the past without permits then what used to be a strip lease is now an access residential lease.Rates are vastly different for this type of lease although at this time there is no transfer fee for this type of lease.
The leases are 15 year terms and if the property sells a new lease is written for the new owners once the application has been completed and a copy of the warranty deed for the fee simple part is given to the management office at Georgia Power. Typically when we have a contract on property that involves any type of Georgia Power lease we will set the closing for the morning and assist you in getting an appointment with Georgia Power for that same afternoon and recommend an attorney that will provide them all the documentation to be prepared to write you a lease the same day of your closing.
Access residential fees for 2015 are as follows: Year 1 to 3 1,050./year, Year 4 - 8 1100./year Year 9 - 13 1200.00/year Year 14 & 15 1300./year Copies of applications can be found on the Georgia Power web site.
The agents at Lane Realty are aware of the areas where these type lots exist and we always call Georgia Power to verify we have the correct information on our listings in the MLS. However, just because the MLS says fee simple doesn't make it so. Tomorrow I have an agent who has an appointment with both a buyer and a representative from Georgia Power because the listing agent had incorrect information. We always go to the source. Georgia Power knows exactly what they own. We've even had owners have leases and not understand it was a lease and why they were paying Georgia Power. (mind you, they weren't our buyers when they purchased) So when it's another firm's listing we never trust the information in the MLS and we always call Georgia Power to verity or have our clients call them.

Just thought I'd share:
We picked up a vacuum sealer the other day and were trying it out tonight. It comes with a little hose for, well I'm not quite sure what it's for, but here's what was on the warning sticker on the hose:
WARNING: To prevent possible injury, do not apply the hose, canister lid, universal lid, jar sealer, or any other accessory to any part of the body while the vacuum pump is in operation.
Y'know, I wasn't even thinking about that till they mentioned it
LMAO! I have a food saver, and it has the same sticker on the hose. I never noticed it until I read this, and I had to go check!
Wow! The fact that they thought it was necessary to put that warning on says a lot about people out there...

My brother ex worked at a urologists office......ahh he stories we'd hear.
I read a study a few years ago which examined the tendency (and gave it a name which I can't recall) of low-IQ people to not realize it, and actually think they're just as smart as everyone else, bcs they lack the critical thinking skills that would inform them otherwise. Conversely, smart people are all the more aware of what they don't know, and tend to be less confident in their branial abilities. So basically there's an inverse relationship between mental acuity and confidence therein.
So if you ask a smart person if they're able to safely operate a vacuum sealer, they'd probably equivocate somewhat, while a cognitively-challenged person would say, "sure I can, here hold my beer!"
[QUOTE=Bruck;3821843]Yes, that's the scary part. For everyone with an above-average IQ, there's someone with a below-average IQ (except in Lake Wobegon).

The way I see it is, there are many dimensions of intelligence, very few of which are measured on the standard tests. I have a friend whom I've known since childhood who's had high-level executive positions for most of his career. I always did better in school and got higher standard test scores, but he has always had what I'll call a "business IQ" that I unfortunately have very little of. & I've known several people who were dumb as rocks according to conventional measures, but could pick up any musical instrument and quickly become an expert on it - just a different dimension of IQ.
There are some serious issues with IQ in the United States specifically and with the IQ test in general for example Chinese etc tend to score higher on the test because of the spacial aspects for example learning a language with more than 4000 different signs etc they will obviously score higher on the spatial aspects of the test. Then there is other issues like nutrition, geographical location, culture, education. I lead teams of people who have advanced degrees and no pun to my teams but education does not translate to intelligence yes you will probably score higher on an IQ test, but the reality is your capacity is going to be confined within certain bounds with some plasticity involved. If I stop things like horticulture, playing music, learning languages and other hobbies just focusing on my work for a year or two my IQ score will go down... I test my IQ yearly and map it out so I can see how am developing... In addition if you give me 4 months to study I will push that score even higher.. So the measurement of IQ is a bit of a sham I can tell how intelligent someone is by communicating with them that is kinda what I have to do in my industry is gauge how intelligent someone is and the best way to get them to lower their guard so I can break through to accomplish a smoother working relationship. Back onto IQ it is a slippery slope when you take into account intelligence because of the various kinds of intelligence etc. People will say oo so and so is unintelligent well they just made a very unintelligent mistake just because you perceive yourself as intelligent doesn't necessarily mean you are. For example I will act dumb just so I can see what kind of a person you are... I don't believe you have to be uptight or be an asshole to do a good job and I believe people take IQ to seriously... I can play country dumb just to exploit you because really the most intelligent people in the world are not the richest people in the world... Education obviously raises IQ because how the test is geared, and normally with a college degree people tend to make more than average salaries so there is a dubious point in those statistics which it maybe a method of marketing by the academics...
I am personally very tired of the academic intelligent deal of putting people down because they are less intelligent etc I think it is a crime because those with higher intelligence with greater means obviously understand the majority of people are unintelligent it is like calling the 800 lb gorilla in the room a gorilla well that doesn't solve any problems... Personally I will take a ignorant friendly person over a unfriendly intelligent person Simple... Just watching youtube you will see there is a culture of stupidity developing which has been cultivated in America and I call it stupidity simply because it is stupid not unintelligent but just stupid and I believe a lot of this is related to culture to a certain degree... Just my 2 cents on it... For example kids putting pressure on each other to have a girl friend and get lucky. One child feels alienated so he takes the suction and starts putting hickies on his neck is that because of low intelligence or because of the culture?
I believe this will remedy some of what am saying
The people who normally come out and say oo so and so is unintelligent are normally the ones who are unintelligent. Most will say they are above normal intelligence without ever taking a IQ test just on the basis of self delusion. I have a saying which is the only reason people think I am intelligent is because they are stupid... That is my arrogance...

Too bad you live so far away or I'd invite you over for a beer and a smoke...
Just got home from a long day & the old brain is sore!
I haven't been IQ tested since Jr. High - don't think I want to know at this point.
Hmmm. I seem to have lost my hose for my foodsaver.
Like Bruce said, its been a long time since I was tested for my IQ and I dont think I want to know what my score would be if I were tested now.
IQ doesn't really matter is the point smart people do dumb things trust me...

Fierce Tigers maul Falcons
UST caps PCCL Final Four cast
ALJON Mariano sparked University of Santo Tomas' second-half breakaway as the Tigers clobbered Adamson, 88-64, to clinch the last Final Four berth of the Philippine Collegiate Champions League yesterday at Filoil Flying V Arena in San Juan.
Mariano, shooting a perfect 4-of-4 from the field in the third quarter, pumped in 12 of his game-high 20 points in the pivotal period to help the Tigers pull away for good.
"We played a defined game," said UST coach Pido Jarencio. "We played aggressive both on offense and defense. The boys really wanted to win."
UST now gets a chance to somehow avenge its loss to Ateneo in the recent UAAP finals when they collide at 4 p.m. at the start of the round-robin Final Four tomorrow.
Three-time NCAA titlist San Beda and Cebu Schools Athletic Foundation Inc. (Cesafi) champion Southwestern University clash in the first game at 2.
The top two teams at the end of the semifinals will battle in a best-of-three title series.
Jeric Teng had 15 points and Kevin Ferrer also had 12 for the Tigers, who took advantage of a couple of unlucky breaks that hit the Falcons.
Adamson's sensational rookie Jericho Cruz fouled out in the third period just a day after exploding for a career-high 37 points in the Falcons' 88-79 upset of defending champion San Sebastian.
Rodney Brondial also got sidelined for a lengthy period after straining his knee.
Earlier, Far Eastern U-Diliman nipped Sacred Heart School-Ateneo de Cebu, 73-69, in a benefit series featuring high school champions.

The Treasury Department today named six alleged al Qaeda operatives that it said were members of a network that worked to facilitate the moving of "money, facilitators and operatives from across the Middle East to South Asia" in cooperation with the government of Iran.
The department's press release said that Ezedin Abdel Aziz Khalil, a Syrian living in Iran, was collecting money from Gulf donors and using it to send cash to al Qaeda in Iraq and Afghanistan, as well as dispatching "extremist recruits for al Qaeda from the Gulf to Pakistan and Afghanistan via Iran." (If so, he's not doing such a great job, as al Qaeda's branch in Iraq has recently complained of going broke, and U.S. counterterrorism officials claim the group is on the verge of defeat in Pakistan.)
Washington has long accused Iran of meddling in Afghanistan, and more recently has blamed the Islamic Republic for a stepped-up campaign against U.S. troops in Iraq. (A few months back, I met with a UAE military official who made the same accusation about Iran supplying weapons and money to anti-coalition fighters in Afghanistan.) It's also been widely reported that senior al Qaeda figures are under some sort of house arrest in Iran, possibly as bargaining chips — but that Iran may have recently allowed a few of those operatives to travel to Afghanistan and Pakistan.
I was particularly interested in this latest announcement by the Treasury, because it names two individuals in Qatar, where I am temporarily based.
One of those named, Salim Hasan Khalifa Rashid al-Kuwari, was also mentioned in an Amnesty International action alert in March as one of three individuals subject to arbitrary detention whom Sultan al-Khalaifi — someone the NGO described as a blogger and human rights activist — was trying to get released. Khalaifi was mysteriously arrested on March 1 by "a number of state security agents," according to Amnesty, along with three other unnamed Qataris, and seems to have disappeared into a black hole.
At the time, I remember thinking the case was odd, because Khalaifi had only written four blog posts — and none of them recently. Was he really arrested for his blogging activities? One theory was that Khalaifi was somehow involved in Facebook calls for a revolution to oust Emir Hamad Khalifa al-Thani, as his blog and the "Qatar Revolution" Facebook page contained some similar themes — that the emir was corrupt and in league with the evil Americans and Israel, that his wife was too prominent, and so on. Khalaifi listed Sayyif Qutb's Milestones, a seminal Islamist tract, as his favorite book, so it seemed clear where his political leanings lay. [UPDATE: According to this Qatari blog, Khalaifi was released in April.]
In any event, I have no idea whether there's a link between today's Treasury announcement and the Khalaifi case, but the mention of Kuwari is certainly intriguing. Is he actually already in custody? If so, did he provide information on Khalil's (alleged) activities in Iran? And what explains Washington's motives for making this announcement today?
Leah Farrell, a leading al Qaeda expert based in Australia, tweeted that she was skeptical of the Treasury designation, and suggested it might be motivated by a U.S. desire to put pressure on Iran.
"Past reports have been poorly sourced and containing serious inaccuracies," she said. "I know about some of these people. They're not new and the reality is far more complex."
"This seems like a means of overcoming a lack of leverage against Iran releasing people."
More later.

Bud Selig talks PEDs, replay and competitive balance
Sep 3, 2013, 11:05 AM EDT
Tom Verducci has an exclusive interview with Bud Selig and asked him about PEDs, replay, competitive balance and his legacy in the game. Takeaways: (1) he's definitely retiring after 2014; (2) he denies that baseball turned a blind eye to PEDs; rather he was surprised by it and then the union fought testing; (3) he simply changed his mind about replay; and (4) he's proud of what has happened to competitive balance in the game.
I think serious issue can be taken with his account of the history of PEDs in baseball. Veducci pressed him a couple of times and it caused Selig to admit some things. And while I have no doubt about Selig's personal ignorance of PEDs — he tells a story about how he had his pharmacist explain Andro to him — I wasn't aware that the entirety of Major League Baseball's knowledge and action with respect to PEDs was contingent on the personal knowledge of an aging and physically-detached-from-the-clubhouse commissioner. Baseball as an institution turned a blind eye and it seems impossible for Selig to deny that.
As for replay, I wish Verducci asked him about why it needs to be a challenge system, but I don't suppose Selig would have much to say beyond deferring to the expertise of his commission on the matter.
It's hard to take any issue with Selig's final summation of his legacy:
if you look at where we were in 1992 in terms of attendance, revenue, popularity, game itself, competitive balance, labor peace, go on and on, I think the last 21, 22 years of baseball have been really remarkably good. But I've got to let others draw those conclusions.
That's undeniably true. We can and should note when good things happen despite bad decisions and when better things could have or may be achieved rather than merely good, but it's hard to argue that the game is worse off now than it was when Selig took over.

Or wait… He denied it to everybody but not the Congress.
- hfunderburke - Sep 3, 2013 at 3:31 PM
I'd argue the game is worse off than it was when Selig took over in most respects – sure, the people involved in the business of the game are making more money, but why is that something anyone else should care about?
Selig has presided over turning the playoffs into a joke (I can't take the results of a system that throws out the results of what is essentially a 162-game tiebreaker in exchange for 1 super exciting game seriously) and invalidating the results of decades' worth (and counting) of results in the eyes of much of the public due to his mishandling of the PED issue at many turns.
Speaking for myself, I was much happier with the MLB product as a whole in 1992.

- thebadguyswon - Sep 3, 2013 at 7:48 PM
Lets see….a strike, a missed World Series, a tie in the All Star game, the PED mess, unbalanced schedule, a cheapening of the longest regular season in pro sportrs and resisting instant replay. He's been horrible. This smug asshole needed to go away ten years ago.

Recently I changed some code
double d0, d1;
// ... assign things to d0/d1 ...
double result = f(d0, d1)
double d[2];
// ... assign things to d[0]/d[1]
double result = f(d[0], d[1]);
I did not change any of the assignments to
d, nor the calculations in
f, nor anything else apart from the fact that the doubles are now stored in a fixed-length array.
However when compiling in release mode, with optimizations on,
result changed.
My question is, why, and what should I know about how I should store doubles? Is one way more efficient, or better, than the other? Are there memory alignment issues? I'm looking for any information that would help me understand what's going on.
EDIT: I will try to get some code demonstrating the problem, however this is quite hard as the process that these numbers go through is huge (a lot of maths, numerical solvers, etc.).
However there is no change when compiled in Debug. I will double check this again to make sure but this is almost certain, i.e. the double values are identical in Debug between version 1 and version 2.
Comparing Debug to Release, results have never ever been the same between the two compilation modes, for various optimization reasons.

When is a woodie not a woodie? When instead of wood, it has artisan applied paint that looks like wood.
When Brian Vanzant of Paducah, Kentucky brought his 1950 Chevrolet to the crew at Brad Starks Rod & Custom, also of Paducah, Ky., It was painted solid white, had 4 doors, was running but un-restored and as Starks deadpanned, "it needed brakes."
Starks and his crew wasted no time and set about transforming the hulk into one that bared little resemblance to what they were given or what had rolled from the factory. First, they did the give and take when they added 7-inches to the two front doors then shaved the handles. Next, they chopped out 2.5-inches in the front and 3-inches in the rear of the top, slanted the B-pillars back before working the driprail back to a stock appearance. They pie-cut the hood by 1-7/8-inches and added the windshield from a '50 Olds. Other tricks included custom made front and rear splash pans, the bumpers were flipped, shortened, and narrowed and Joe Taylor, Paducah Ky custom cut the side and rear glass. The rear tailgate was leaned forward, and a set of Lokar taillights were Frenched in. When all was done, it was Brad Starks himself who added the Dupont HotHues Cappaccino Craze paint and the intricate airbrushed woodgrain.
While Starks had his body men working on the shell, his mechanics were busy adding a Mustang II front end and a C-notch to the rear rails of the stock frame. A set of Air Ride Technologies ShockWaves gives the car the ability to lay out nicely. A Currie 9-inch rearend has been equipped with a posi unit and Richmond 3:70 gears as well as 11-inch Wilwood disc brakes. A set of 12-inch Wilwoods adorn the front end, and both units have been highly polished.
Highly polished also describes the Budnik Gassers wheels
(Front: 19×7, Rear: 22×10) while ultra low profile Nitto tires (Front: 245/35/19, Rear: 295/35/22) keep the woodie stable through the corners.
While most Woodies are cruisers, this one is also a bruiser. Power comes from a 502ci Chevy engine that has been equipped with a Hilborn electronic injection system that features custom built stacks by Brad Starks. A HiIborn intake manifold connects to a set of aluminum heads, and speaking of the heads, it again was Starks who adorned then with custom paint. A Vintage Air Front Runner pulley system keeps everything spinning while the MSD ignition system keeps everything lit up. A set of Street and Performance headers connects to the Magnaflow mufflers via the stainless 2-1/2″ exhaust tubes.
Putting the estimated 500hp to the rearend is a Gearstar Level IV 700R4 that features a Yank 2500rpm stall converter. Long Machine Shop of Paducah, Ky. spun up a custom driveshaft to connect the dots.
Appearing like beach sand, the interior features pecan and parchment colored leather that was installed by Tracy Weaver of The Recovery Room Hot Rod Interiors of Plattsmouth, Nebraska. Woodies are made for sun, right? Well, the front seats came from a '97 Sunfire while the rear unit is custom made, as is the cool center console. Housed in that console is the B&M Floor shifter, the controls for the Air Ride Technologies suspension system, Sony stereo system and oddly enough, the tachometer. Yep, while the rest of the Classic Instruments All American instruments are where they are supposed to be, which is in the dash (in this case that dash is a custom built steel wrap around by Brad Starks), but the tach is housed at the front edge of the console. Other cool items include the Vintage Air air conditioning sytems (cool…get it?) and the Budnik Gasser X Steering wheel. Lastly, Starks custom-made the aluminum dash trim that wraps around onto the doors and quarter panels.
This custom Chevy was chosen as a finalist at the Goodguys 8th Midwestern Nationals on September 4-6, 2009 and went on to be named the Goodguys/Lincoln Electric 2009 Custom Rod of the Year. The car came a long way from being a deliver car for a Colorado florist to where it is now, but owner Brian Vanzant and builder Brad Starks knew that even in Paducah, Kentucky, it's an endless summer.

BLACKFOOT – In what proved to be a heavyweight slugfest the Blackfoot Broncos prevailed on Friday evening as they overcame a key injury by leaning on their vaunted rushing attack for a 30-20 victory over the Knights of Bishop Kelly in the Class 4A state playoffs.
POCATELLO – The Shelley Russets converted a fourth-and-17 for their first score of the game on Friday night. Conversely the Snake River Panthers came up six inches short on a fourth-and-goal from the three on the ensuing possession. Those two series were a microcosm of a game in which the Russets capitalized on nearly all of their opportunities while the Panthers came up short. Shelley knocked off the defending Class 3A state champions, 41-14.

Here's an update from Alain Littaye posted in the Magicforum last Saturday:
Hello Everyone, Alain Littaye, here, from Disney and more and author of the DLP From Sketch to Reality book. I'm posting to give you a little update about the DLP book. Lot of work the last three months to make the book as beautiful as possible and to have a release on schedule but we're very close to receive the copies from the printer and expect to ship all orders early May!
Dusty said the same thing on his facebook. So date moved back to May, that's cool we just wanted an update since this thread is pretty dead...
Howdy folks,
We are expecting the books to arrive here at MiceChat any day now. The container ship has already arrived in the US and we've been contacted by Customs.
Since we are shipping out over 300 copies of the book, it won't be possible for us to send everyone shipping tracking info, but I will do my best to send a generic email letting everyone know they are on the way.
Really appreciate your support of this project. *Assuming there is no problem with US Customs, we'll have the books in your hands very soon!
MiceChat 101: Be NICE! If you don't play well with others, you are in the wrong sandbox.
Find us on Facebook:
Yesssssss!!!! I can't wait to get my copy! Thanks for all your work on this, Dusty!
YAY! I've been running home every day after work like Bart Simpson waiting for his spy camera
UPDATE (May 2, 2012) - Great news! The books have arrived at MiceChat central. As soon as we've had a chance to sort through them we'll start sending them out in the order the sales were placed. January orders will ship first, followed by February, etc. We have over 300 books to ship out, so this may take some time to get through. We will attempt to send email notifications as the orders ship. Thank you everyone!

I think when the book finally gets here, he might throw it at me
Just an update. We still have a ton of books (literally) which haven't gone out yet. We've enlisted some good friends to come over on Saturday and help us package the rest of the books. They should all be in the mail by Monday, May 14th.

Just got the email notice... They've shipped! Delivery is estimated within the next nine days.
I knew if this business was ever to get anywhere, if this business was ever to grow, it could never do it by having to answer to someone unsympathetic to its possibilities, by having to answer to someone with only one thought or interest, namely profits. For my idea of how to make profits has differed greatly from those who generally control businesses such as ours. I have blind faith in the policy that quality, tempered with good judgment and showmanship, will win against all odds.
-Walt Disney
It came it finally came. THE BIG ONE. Extremely Collectible. Keep Away from non-Disney Fans.

Now, if it's not asking too much,
please re-issue an updated "Nickel Tour,"
make a WDW book that's in this league.
and. . . well that' enough for now.
Seriously, thanks again and congratulations on creating such an excellent book!
After surviving an agonizing week of torture, I strolled to my mailbox today fully expecting to be holding my copy of this book. The mailman came and went with nary a trace of my package. After a few choice words for the postal service, which included varying degrees of colorful words, I went about my business for the day. At about four o'clock, there was a knock on the door. As I opened it angels began to sing and a bright ray of light shone on the package the mailman held in his hands. As the singing slowly faded away he explained that the package had fallen under his seat and as if by divine intervention, he reached under his seat to find a white box with my name on it. He apologized and left. Moments later as I opened the box to reveal its contents I again heard singing and praise from the Disney gods for the miracle that I was now holding in my hands. Thank you so much for printing this book and also I want to thank Dusty and his friends for the timely updates and prompt shipment of this magnificent book. It is a truly outstanding work of litersry art.

LOS ANGELES - UCLA took the cover off its men's and women's basketball teams for its students Wednesday night at Pauley Pavilion, and the unveiling seemed to come as early as the rolls of Christmas gift wrap, the plastic spruces, and the inflatable rooftop Rudolphs that land on department store shelves before Halloween.
Bright, shiny, plastic-wrapped and right out of the box, the arrival of Bruins basketball felt a bit premature this year because the school's bread-and-butter sport doesn't need to rescue depressed legions from another deflated Wilson of a football season.
The golden-helmeted boys practicing over at the Spaulding Field are doing remarkably, magically, incredibly well at 7-0 for only the second time since 1989, ranked No. 6 in the BCS and being just as undefeated as that team down on Exposition Boulevard.
Bruins basketball doesn't need to dribble out into Bruinwalk to be the court jester just yet. Football - at this basketball school that Wooden built - is doing just fine. Basketball can wait its turn.
"It's just not our season yet, but in a month-and-a-half, it will be our time," said senior guard Lisa Willis, the Bruins' all-time three-point shot leader, who paired with men's guard Jordan Farmar to win the night's three-point shooting contest.
"Any other year, if the football team weren't doing so well, this place would be packed."
To drum up excitement for the upcoming basketball seasons, Pauley Pavilion opened its heavy, pale-yellow metal doors to ID-bearing students and showed off its teams in scrimmages, and in dunking and three-point shooting contests.
About 1,000 students clothed in the laundry-faded royal blue T-shirts and representing the fan sections known as "The Bruin Den" jammed into about a quarter of this basketball church to get a sneak peak at the school's most beloved deities.
They saw Farmar, the season's Pac-10 Freshman of the Year, with visibly beefier guns. He put on 12 pounds of muscle in the offseason and now weighs 186. During a scrimmage, he hit an NBA-range three-pointer that was as smooth as soft-serve vanilla melting from a cone to put his team up, 30-16.
Farmar dribbled and dished to distant-hitting Cedric Bozeman, to a shot-searching Arron Afflalo, to a two-hand dunking and mightier Ryan Hollins and a jump-shooting freshman Michael Roll (Aliso Niguel High).
Senior center Michael Fey in dark warm-ups and jeans shorts, sat on the end of the bench because of groin muscle pull. Forward Josh Shipp lounged in sweats beside Joe Bruin the mascot, nursing a hip that likely will keep him out for seven more weeks, Bruins coach Ben Howland said.
Lorenzo Mata, the 6-foot-8 center, has thicker arms and less tentative steps. His hook shot into the back iron led him to return on the next possession to dunk the ball through the rim like a chef pounding a carrot into a Cuisinart.
"I take a look around and I see how strong and how much improvement everyone has made," sophomore Farmar said. "I'm excited, and with football doing so well, there's this energy and expectation that spills over to basketball that makes us also want to win."
Winning football, as well as the promise of top-flight recruits and improved players in a new basketball season, have given new red blood cells to the athletic program that three years looked ago more like a chaos/disaster episode of "ER."
"It's a great time to be a Bruin," said women's basketball coach Kathy Olivier, whose has seen plenty of coaching carousels, an athletic director change and basketball and football highs and lows in two decades in the athletic department.

Come Saturday, rail passengers of reserved compartments should carry their identity proof
To curb touts
In an action aimed at curbing black marketing and curbing the role of touts, the Railways have ruled that those found not possessing valid ID proof would be treated as travelling without ticket.
In the case of a group, at least one of them should possess an identity card.
In February, the Railways made it mandatory for those travelling in air-conditioned coaches to possess identity proof.
Keywords: Rail travel, id proof
