- Last week a federal judge lifted an injunction against a key component of Arizona's controversial anti-immigrant law, S.B. 1070, requiring police to check the immigration status of people they stop before releasing them.

4-H Mentoring LbNA # 67435
|Placed Date
|Aug 5 2014
|various, Hamilton, MT
|Found By
|Last Update
|Oct 19 2014
To introduce 4-H kids to the fun of letterboxing, I placed four boxes (Head, Heart, Hands, Health) for the summer mentoring class. They are all within a three block area just south of downtown Hamilton.
Head - So much here to fill your head. Books, movies, Internet and so much more. When you get done reading that book, return it to the big silver drop box in the alley entrance. Then go around the drop box to the concrete bench. Facing the bench, look behind it and you will see two tall grass plants next to the building. Look behind the left plant, under a couple rocks.
Hands - Facing the front steps of the old Marcus Daly Memorial Hospital (now the Ravalli County offices), look to the left and you will see a large juniper bush. Go around behind the bush and up against the building just under the bush you will find some helping hands.
At least that's what it used to be.
Having a heart attack?
The ambulance will bring you back.
Behind the MSU Extension Office sign you will see!
Health - From May through October on Saturdays you can get lots of locally grown healthy food, some fun treats and many vendors selling Bitterroot made crafts. Look for the biggest eyes around. Pull out a rock under the peepers to find Health. Then maybe go visit the museum for some more letterboxing!

tips for getting the most out of your Silent Partner

1. Buy yourself a tray service cart to get your machine higher in the air, so you can crank up the speed, and not have to park the ball machine off the baseline to practice returns and hard hit volleys and groundstrokes.
I got mine at Sears
but you can find them both online and in stores.
2. Work on any shot that is now a weakness until it is a strength:
1.) Returning serve. Half of all points start with you returning a serve. Everyone practices their serve, but too few practice thier return.
2.) Volleys. Everyone hits tons of groundstrokes. But most hit a few volleys before a match or during a hitting session and that is it. Don't stand there waiting the ball to arrive. Practice poaches by aiming the ball as if it was a cross court return and go get it from your usual doubles position. Practice the first volley on a "serve and volley" (don't actually serve) by running in from the baseline and take it near the service line again and again. Practice getting to difficult to reach volleys hit away from you to learn how to get your body into position to volleying on the dead run.
3.) Practice hitting backhands (or forehands) to the corners on the dead run from a neutral position, then recovering again to hit the next one ... and the next one ... and the next one ...
3. Keep turning up the speed, spin and feed rate gradually during each session to condition your neuromuscular reflexes to get to difficult balls. (It's amazining how you can do this in an incremental way to own a shot, rather than relying on chance balls during a match or practice hit.)
Remember Agassi's crazed dad made young Andre hit a million balls a year (about 3,000/day) from his ball machine to get real good.
How crazy are you? How good do you want to be?

Many of the marinas we've stayed in have offered anchored or moored boats the option to land their dinghies here, take advantage of shoreside services like laundry and bathhouse and internet lounge, for a nominal fee, $10 per dinghy per day on the days they use it, and no one seems to have a problem with that. Of course, long term anchored/moored boats need to have some provision for pumpout and waste removal. The issues I've seen between marinas and anchored boats tend to be related to pollution, improper anchoring (either dragging into boats in slips, or anchoring so close that those boats can't safely leave), or noise (generators or music either loud or at inconsiderate hours), or trying to game the system by sneaking in and not paying. But those are bad behavior regardless, whether someone's a liveaboard or not, on land or on water.
Sounds like someone who's an asset to the marina community. I'm not surprised that the owner appreciated having you there.
With you there - consideration, thinking about the effect your actions have on those around you, make for good relations. Isn't this the stuff we learned in kindergarden?
Charging a small fee to use the marina facilities sounds fair to me. The marina is a business and must make a profit in order to continue providing all the services that most everyone here appreciates. As far as consideration goes, everyone including the inconsiderate expect it from others. In my opinion, the only way to get it is to give it. I'm sure those drunken revellers appreciate the fact that all the people they kept awake all night don't drop by their boat 3 hours after they pass out and commence a loud discussion about the beauty of the sunrise while having coffee 5 feet from their boat. There is a time and place for everything.
I do understand the frustration some of you must feel with junked up, funky smelling eyesores and those overly possesive of dock space but I think it is the marina managers who need to draw a line in the sand with that sort of behavior. A lot of people have mentioned crazy long waiting lists for slip space. Why put up with that kind of behavior or expect your good paying renters to deal with it when there are so many others waiting in line. Besides, an example or two will send a message that that sort of behavior is not acceptable. There are far better ways to deal with the problem than banning the good with the bad.

In Europe in most places they will only allow sailors to be there for a short amount of time (in some places one day) and it is fair, it is the way to warranty that all can enjoy that place.
I was under the assumption that some mooring fields were actually owned and managed by the marina near it. I thought that some were public and managed by municipalities, some single moorings, mainly near houses, were privately owned, and some were commercially owned by marinas. I may be totally mistaken in this since I have never stayed on a mooring. I thought that people who payed a monthly fee were assigned a certain mooring and paid the marina that owned it along with any fees to use marina facilities and dinghy docks. My question was directed towards commercially rented moorings rather than public or community type moorings. Are there different types of mooring fields or have I just confused myself into thinking that there are differences?

Perl is a language optimized for scanning arbitrary text files, extracting information from those text files, and printing reports based on that information. It's also a good language for many system management tasks. The language is intended to be practical (easy to use, efficient, complete) rather than beautiful (tiny, elegant, minimal).

What kind of bird that never flew, but very good swimmers?
In total there are 18 species of penguins, the smallest of the so-called Little Penguins (up to 45 cm, weight 2.5 kg) to the largest, the emperor penguin (up to 120 cm, weight up to 46 kg). Body shape more reminiscent of penguins are not birds, and dolphins, which means frequent pastime in the water. The device of wings and a powerful chest muscles and are not meant for flying, and swimming. Usually the bones of birds have a tubular structure that allows us to find a compromise between strength and weight, but the bones of dolphins are very strong and heavy, more like the bones of dolphins and seals.
Eyes of the penguins are more suited for vision under water, so they see on the ground is not very good. Pupil of the eye penguin can grow much more human, so the penguins can see well even in the dark, at a depth of 100 meters.
Penguins eat mostly fish and crustaceans. During the hunt penguins spend much time in cold water, plunging to a depth of 500 meters and holding at one time under water up to 18 minutes. Except Antarctica, penguins live in New Zealand, Australia, on the coast of South America and even the Galapagos Islands near the equator.

"Bake Deliciously! Gluten and Dairy Free Cookbook" Available on Kindle, Nook and iTunes
CENTENNIAL, Colo., June 3, 2014 /PRNewswire/ — Love to bake? If you are looking for a go-to cookbook for delicious allergy free baked goods, the answer is in "Bake Deliciously! Gluten and Dairy Free Cookbook," now available in electronic format.
Photo – http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20140602/93452
"The cookbook contains over 150 recipes with beautiful, color pictures, so you can salivate over which ones to make first," said author Jean Duane, president of Alternative Cook, LLC.
"Bake Deliciously! Gluten and Dairy Free Cookbook" has triple-tested, perfected recipes for cakes, cookies, crackers, breads, desserts, pizza, custards, pies, muffins and more. It is positively chock full of signature recipes you will be proud to serve to your guests. No one will even imagine they are gluten and dairy free. Just take your portable device to the kitchen and start baking. Take a look inside on Amazon http://tinyurl.com/n7pbqlh.
The best part about the cookbook is how easy it is to substitute ingredients depending on foods you are avoiding. Ms. Duane divides the ingredients into easy-to-understand categories – flours, fats, sugars and milks, and offers many substitutions for each. Grains are subdivided into protein, grain and starches. There are many ways to make substitutions that work beautifully in the recipes in this cookbook.
Cynthia Kupper, Executive Director of the Gluten Intolerance Group of North America says: "Bake Deliciously! Gluten and Dairy Free is a great source of recipes using healthier ingredients and methods to make them nutritious. I love that all the recipes are easily made using very few steps."
Ms. Duane decided to write this book and become a certified chef when she realized that most gluten-free cookbooks used cups of starch.
"When was the last time you use more than a tablespoon of cornstarch in a recipe?" she said.
She spent two years painstakingly developing each recipe with the goal of using as many whole grains as possible in every recipe. Each gluten-free recipe is also dairy free, using innovative, delicious alternatives.
It doesn't stop there. The recipes also show substitutions that work for eggs, different grains, fats and sugars. Her approach to baking is very creative. She has a knack for developing recipes that look and taste even better than their counterparts containing traditional ingredients. There are more than 150 recipes in the cookbook, and 68 of them are vegan. Most recipes do not contain soy, yeast, cholesterol, refined sugar, egg yolks, dyes, artificial ingredients, artificial flavors or artificial sweetener.
"Bake Deliciously! Gluten and Dairy Free Cookbook" is available wherever books are sold in print, and now in electronic formats including Kindle http://tinyurl.com/n7pbqlh, Nook http://tinyurl.com/lmfbto8 and iTunes http://tinyurl.com/lfwrc9e.

Bmi announced enhancements to its Middle East service anchored by the launch of a daily London Heathrow-Cairo flight from Oct. 28 aboard a dual-class A320. The carrier also said it signed an MOU with EgyptAir to enter a codeshare and reciprocal frequent-flier agreement when the service starts. Flights to Amman and Beirut will become daily from Oct. 28. Bmi said restrictions in the bilateral air services agreement between the UK and Egypt will force the cancellation of British Mediterranean Airways' Alexandria service.

These pictures are great. Everyone from the cast (minus Nikki Reed) is celebrating and enjoying being recognized. The Twilight cast should hold their heads high after winning such a great award. Kellan seems to be so happy to be holding a golden popcorn. I am glad everyone from the cast got a popcorn to take home! PS Anyone else wondering where Nikki was?…

Its Official: Tuesday is the Most Productive Day of the Week
The survey was developed by Accountemps, the world's first and largest temporary staffing service for accounting, finance and bookkeeping professionals. It was conducted by an independent research firm and includes responses from 150 executives with the nation's 1,000 largest companies.
Executives were asked: "In your opinion, on which day of the week are employees generally most productive?" Their responses:
26% Monday
48% Tuesday
9% Wednesday
5% Thursday
1% Friday
11% Don't know/no answer
"It's natural for activity levels to fluctuate throughout the course of a week," said Max Messmer, chairman of Accountemps and author of Motivating Employees For Dummies® (Hungry Minds, Inc.). "By learning to identify the normal peaks and valleys in staff productivity, managers can provide additional motivation when it is needed most."
Messmer noted, "Mondays can be hectic because there are frequently more meetings scheduled. By Tuesday, employees may be better focused on day-to-day responsibilities." He added that as the weekend nears, productivity clearly is impacted -- a sign that workers may need closer guidance or an extra morale boost to keep projects on track.

Change the look of your entire space with upcycled ideas like this Mosaic Buttons Bowl from Heidi Borchers. Use random buttons from your stash to create a mosaic look. The more colorful and mismatched the buttons, the more your bowl will stand out!
If you're using a wood bowl for this project, start by sanding it down. Begin gluing buttons to the surface of the bowl - start with the big ones and then fill in the small ones. Once the glue dries, put on gloves and begin applying grout directly to the piece. Use your finger to get rid of excess and then take a sponge to the piece to remove any leftover grout. Use a hair dryer to help dry your bowl. Once the grout is completely dry, you can use a wet wipe to clean off the surface.

Three Steps to More Effective Billboard Ads
Many agents use billboards in their marketing efforts. But often, they're not as effective as they could be. Here are three ways to make your next billboard better.
- Less is more. Try to limit your billboard to three basic elements: A key visual element like a portrait or image, a headline that conveys a simple and clear message, and your name, phone number and/or website address.
- Keep it short. Drivers have a split-second to read your billboard. Keep your headline under eight words, and address the core reason why clients should choose you. For example, "Personal service. Exceptional results." or "We sell homes faster."
- Take three steps back. Before you approve a billboard design, print it on a letter-size piece of paper and pin it to the wall. Then, take three steps across the room and scrutinize the billboard. This mimics a driver's perspective. Does the key message "pop?" Can you read the phone number and web address easily? If not, revise as needed.

What to give mom for Mother's Day is always a dilemma, but three students at Renaissance High School for the Arts in Long Beach have solved the problem this year in a most innovative way. "Questions for My Mother," to be staged at the Carpenter Performing Arts Center on May 11, is a documentary theater piece featuring the students portraying their mothers as well as themselves.
Won't it be a little weird, especially with their parents watching?
"It would be weird if someone else played my mother – they don't know her," said Ezra Yampolsky, a junior at Renaissance. "I don't really think about that in rehearsal. I just think about doing it right."
Said junior Aaron Dury: "I've had more difficult parts. The difficulty is in portraying her in a way she might not want to be portrayed. To some degree I understand her and her manners; portraying someone else onstage and how they see themselves is difficult in and of itself."
Anthony Pereira, also a junior at Renaissance, said: "We're not doing so much an interpretation, but more a reflection of our mothers. At first it was a little hard, to pay attention to her voice tones, but it's gotten easier with all the work we're doing. It's gotten me to know my mom more through constant observation."
Dury admitted to being a little anxious about performing the show for his mother: "It's especially nerve-wracking when it's them you're portraying."
Yampolsky was initially apprehensive about the whole experience.
"I was really scared at first," she said. "I was nervous about working with new people, people I didn't know. But they're all really nice. I was afraid they'd make fun of me or they wouldn't listen to me. But they're polite, and they're cool."
If the Renaissance students felt any anxiety or awkwardness, it was not apparent at a recent rehearsal at Cal State Long Beach. They were virtually indistinguishable from the four university undergrads who share the stage with them as mentors and performers.
The unusual play is the brainchild of Andrea Caban, Cal State Long Beach theater department faculty member. Her one-woman show, "Questions My Mother Can't Answer," provided the springboard for the play, which is the end product of Sparking Curiosity, a 12-week theater workshop project in its pilot year. She'll perform her play at the Carpenter center the same day, after the student production.
Caban is terrific, Pereira said. "Going into rehearsal and warming up, I feel very relaxed," he said. "I come home and I think, 'That was phenomenal.'"
Amanda Meek, education coordinator for the center's Arts for Life program, approached all nine high schools in Long Beach about participating in the project. Renaissance was open to the proposal.
Susan Thrasher, who teaches theater at Renaissance, singled out Dury and Pereira.
"Aaron (Dury) was telling me about it, and I was a little jealous," said Yampolsky, who joined the workshop late. "It sounded cool. He said they were looking for a girl, and I said, 'I could do that.'"
Meek, who hopes to bring more high schools aboard next year, picks the students up at their school every Tuesday afternoon for the three-hour sessions at Cal State Long Beach.

In an earlier column, I quoted a reader as saying: "When the media hypes an event, we bloat into a sentimental balloon. The moment the media moves to another `breaking story' this bubble subsides, and we inflate another bubble." (Col. R.D. Singh, Jammu, quoted in "Some questions on values, priorities," September 18, 2006).
The latest bubble, after pop superstar Madonna and the child, Abhishek-Aishwarya and so on, was Shilpa Shetty and her role in the Celebrity Big Brother TV reality show. For nearly two weeks the media spotlight was on her. The British tabloids had more than enough to gorge on; the serious newspapers too had big pictures and long stories. As for TV channels, there was drama for them, whether it was real or orchestrated. It could not be otherwise with everyone, top politicians included, getting into the act.
The Indian media did not lag behind. The print media suddenly rediscovered Shilpa Shetty, while the TV channels had a field day. Amidst all this hullabaloo, The Hindu, I thought, was restrained in its coverage, not missing any development but not going overboard. Hasan Suroor from London had the proper perspective. The Hindu's editorial on January 30, 2007 provided a reality check of the "lather worked up over a tasteless reality show." My initial reaction was, why bother about a fracas between two paid performers on a TV show, but it soon assumed bigger overtones with Ministers, governments, and politicians airing their views.
But readers differed, some sharply in their comments. Dushyant Kumar (Baraut Baghpat, U.P.) remarked that while the editorial rightly opposed the unnecessary attention given to the show, The Hindu "forgot to check its own house. You can't preach morality when you yourself are flouting it." Suresh Iyer (Mumbai), while praising The Hindu for its "balanced and fair reporting", felt the editorial was a waste of space, even while the views expressed in it were "excellent and laudable." Using strong epithets in his reference to Shilpa Shetty, he said she did not deserve space in an editorial. S.P. Sundaram (Alapakkam, Chennai) was disappointed that The Hindu "has also boarded the tabloid press bandwagon" with "a leading editorial on l'affaire Shilpa Shetty. As the editorial itself indicated, the whole thing was a manipulation". There was no need to join the chorus was his opinion.
On the news coverage, Jagadees Pillai (Pattolimarket, Kerala) felt there had been some change in The Hindu's practice of publishing news according to its importance. "Please don't publish this kind of celebrity news. There are lots of other lifestyle/gossip newspapers. We have serious news." But I would prefer to go with G. Swaminathan (Coimbatore): "There are many like me depending on The Hindu to serve as a window to what is happening - good, bad and ugly - in the world. So do not stop giving trivial gossip news in small doses as usual."
On an earlier occasion, I quoted the editorial team as saying The Hindu did not censor news. There was no overdose in the coverage of the Shilpa Shetty episode except perhaps in the "Letters to the Editor" column, where in 10 days 78 readers held forth! But the news coverage had some gaps. After reading all the reports in The Hindu I was still wondering about the show itself: how was it organised; how were the participants chosen, what was their compensation; how, why and when were participants "evicted" and so on.
Hasan Suroor said all participants "get a fee" and Shilpa Shetty was reported to have got anything between £200,000 and £300,000. There was no special prize for the winner but the editorial said Shilpa Shetty pocketed an additional £100,000. Following readers' doubts, we posed the question to Channel 4. We received a standard reply that our query would be responded to in three weeks. When we renewed our request, we get another long standard answer, about viewers' complaints on the programme and how these were being handled. We did not get the information on payment that we wanted.
There was also mention of 82 per cent voting to evict Jade Goody and 67 per cent for Shilpa Shetty as winner. What was the number of voters? Ofcom, the regulator, received 40,000 protests. We have experience of such campaigns. The BBC Asian Network called the Big Brother controversy its biggest story ever, with more reader response, than for serious issues.
For me, the most interesting reaction to the whole episode came from Firdaus H. Adenwalla, Consultant Physician, Cardiff, Wales, U.K. In his article "Playing to the gallery", published on Open Page on February 11, 2007, the doctor made the following points:
This most trivial of TV programmes was suddenly headline news. Senior politicians were falling over themselves to pass judgment. In March 2006, the U.K. Home Office announced new immigration rules for overseas doctors. The news media, including BBC, hardly gave any space or time for a ruling that has devastating consequences for thousands of doctors, especially from India. The silence by the media was because news of surplus doctors would hardly boost sales or viewing figures. The issue is in court. (The doctors have lost the case in the High Court and are likely to appeal.) A more practical and useful measure would have been for an overseas doctor to join Big Brother.
The doctor's diagnosis is correct, the prescription is perfect.

This tiny bar is one of the "four horsemen"/anchor tenants of Ravello's main Piazza Duomo (Vescovado). Closer to the Villa Rufolo side, Bar Il Panino's covered outdoor seating is among the first you see when entering the square from the main road/tunnel (i.e., via della Repubblica).
Wedged at the right-hand base of the steps leading up to Ravello's Duomo, locals hang out here to play cards, socialize, and pretty much pass the time. Inside the quarters are tight, with a small bar serving liquor, gelato, cornetti, and a two-group La Cimbali for espresso. They also offer their namesake panini, of course.
They serve Illy espresso in Illy-logo SPAL cups with a richly striped medium and darker brown crema. It has that brighter Illy flavor you get in Italy but not in the U.S.: bright spices, a touch of smoke, and also some acidity of apricot and a touch of citrus. If only they could serve Illy like this in the States. An even €1.

This restaurant is often considered the best in Southern Italy and certainly one of its most famous. It's earned two Michelin stars, and it's known as something of a Chez Panisse of Italy: an emphasis on locally grown ingredients sourced from the chef's 6 hectare farm, Le Peracciole (purchased in 1990), but elevated to a fine dining experience.
Located at the heart of the remote hill town of Sant'Agata sui due Golfi, it's situated on a mountain ridge that overlooks both the Gulf of Naples and the Gulf of Salerno (hence the town's name). Driving up in a torrential downpour, we accidentally pulled in for cover into the garage for the restaurant service staff — decorated with large murals of various fruits and vegetables — and arrived via the service entrance. Not that it mattered, because whether we stumbled upon the pre-service staff dinner or found ourselves in part of the kitchen, the staff were exceptionally friendly and accommodating.
Alfonso Costanzo Iaccarino started this operation as a hotel in 1890. Today it is both a hotel and restaurant (the latter begun in 1973) owned and operated by Livia and Alfonso Iaccarino. The two patrol the dining room with its pink and white walls, ensuring their brigade offers impeccable service (and it very much is).
One of the few buildings on site is La Cantina, their world-famous, 25,000-bottle wine cellar. It begins as you enter a 17th century Neapolitan building. It then leads to an earlier wing from the 16th century. And it then descends some 40 meters at an angle into the earth into what was originally a 6th century Etruscan tomb. At the bottom of the tomb they also age some of their cheeses.
Besides the over-the-top tasting menu (eel mousse?!), they also offer a coffee service that aspires to the level of uniqueness and memorability as the food here. (Contrast with the more pedestrian — albeit top-quality — approach taken by Copenhagen's Noma.)
They wood-roast their own private coffee label through nearby Caffè Maresca, and they swear by La San Marco as the best espresso machines they can get their hands on. They pull very short shots of espresso with a darker and medium brown crema and heavy chocolate tones to the flavor, and they serve it in cartoon-colorful Solimene ceramic cups from Vietri sul Mare with lids and two saucers.
To create a more unique experience, they serve their espresso with five different sugars — each produced at different levels of refinement. It may not be close to the best espresso we've ever had, but they clearly make the effort and do what you'd expect from such a special restaurant to make the coffee service equally as memorable. At least more than just the sticker shock you get from its €5 price tag.
As over-the-top Italian restaurants go, Don Alfonso 1890 offers some of the best service we've experienced anywhere. The food is outstanding and showcases an emphasis on simple, quality ingredients for which Southern Italy is known. That said, we'd still have to give a slight edge to more of the culinary refinement you'll find at a place like Guido Ristorante Pollenzo up north.

Positano may be a gorgeous place, but it is overrun with tourists. But given all there is to look at and experience, Positano is one of those rare places where you don't seem to mind it too much. It's frequently one of the costs of a beautiful place.
Opening in 1950 as a pastry shop, La Zagara resides along a pedestrian walkway that leads to the famous and fashionable Positano beach. The location shows a bit of its worn age — especially in the wood paneling in the (full) bar area.
For the tourists, they offer a great selection of high-end grappe (Berta Roccanivo, etc.). While the entirely Napoli region loves to partake in a digestivo, cafés on the Amalfi Coast seem to have particularly taken to selling high-end grappa as take-home gifts and mementos.
La Zagara still offers notable pastries — including an excellent cannoli. Cannoli may have been put on the map by the Sicilians, but the Neapolitans have made their own variant somewhat famous. There's also a large garden bar with outdoor views under canopies that overlook one of Positano's many canyon-like features. It's a tempting place to kill time, having done that ourselves 11 years ago.
Using dueling two-group La Cimbali machines at the bar, they pull shots of Caffè Maresca with a medium brown crema with lighter heat spot and some small bubbling. It's served short in Güral Porselen logo cups. It has a flavor of some tobacco layered with Maresca's wood-roasting.
An old fashioned €1 for tourist central. Rated 2 tazzine and 1 chicco in the 2014 Gambero Rosso Bar d'Italia.

Positano is an impossible town. By that, I mean that the place even exists — grafted vertically onto cliffs overlooking a gorgeous sea — defies belief. Glimpsing just a single photo of the place was all I needed to convince me that I had to first come here nearly 12 years ago. And I certainly am not the only one.
John Steinbeck visited Positano on multiple occasions. His essay in the May 1953 issue of Harper's Bazaar is said to have put Positano on the tourist map. Which then lead to inspiring Patricia Highsmith to write The Talented Mr. Ripley in 1955. Her novel became a 1999 film that was also partly shot in Positano.
A decade later, Positano inspired a visiting Mick Jagger and Keith Richards from The Rolling Stones to pen the song "Midnight Rambler" — from the brilliant 1969 Let It Bleed album — in its cafés. La Brezza Net Art Café wasn't around at the time for Jagger and Richards, but there's a high probability that one of the cafés where they did write it stood in La Brezza's place back then.
Because La Brezza makes the most of its prime beach location in fashionable Positano. There are two floors inside that feel a little bit cramped, but most of the activity of its patrons naturally takes place on the front patio under canvases or among the sidewalk tables along the paved walkway down to the beach.
They serve beachside gelato and various lunch items with a view over the sand and the small, wooden fishing boats beached on the shore. Inside their espresso machine might look like a chrome Fiorenzato, but it is a two-group Esprèsso by SAB.
Using Irio Caffé from just over the Amalfi Coast mountain range, they pull shots with a darker, rich-looking crema with the occasional lighter medium brown heat spot. Not surprising given Irio's wood-roasting processes, it has a woody and smooth flavor of mild spices but a body that runs a little thinner than expected. At €1.50, it's a little pricey — but half the cost of table service (which is still worth it, given the hangout).
And good enough for Gambero Rosso's 2014 Bar d'Italia to rate it 2 tazzine and 2 chicchi.

This bar/café on the main Piazza Vescovado is something of a local Ravello institution. Founded as a family business in 1929, it is now operated in the hands of three Schiavo brothers who are part of the successive generation.
With its name inspired by a Neapolitan coffee roaster of the time, the writer Gore Vidal is said to have made a habit of hanging out near its glass entrance — chatting it up with a visiting Sting or Bruce Springsteen over a glass of Chivas Regal. There are also classic photos about of former first lady Jackie Kennedy hanging out at this café with "Godfather of Style" and head of FIAT, Gianni Agnelli, from August 1962. While these may be events from only this past century, they still give you a sense of time and place.
By contrast, in America we seem so enamored with new, shiny things that we encourage a disposable culture that extends to our own history. At five years, you're overlooked; at ten, you're forgotten; at twenty, you're a candidate for a wrecking ball. Trendy pop-up coffee shops and restaurants seem like a natural outcome of our disposable culture. (We recently read an historical revisionist comment from Ritual's Eileen Hassi suggesting that only Ritual and Blue Bottle were doing the things they were doing in SF when they started up eight years ago — completely dismissing the forgotten likes of Café Organica, who was already making better coffee at the time and doing more "third wave" things those two hadn't even dreamed of yet.)
Getting back to Mrs. Kennedy's Summer of '62 stay in Ravello, it's odd today to think of the wife of a standing U.S. president spending three weeks cavorting about with one of the world's most notorious playboys in Gianni Agnelli — all the while JFK (himself an international playboy wannabe by comparison) stayed back in Washington, DC. But these are facts that were undoubtedly kept from American public eyes at the time.
Mr. Agnelli reportedly made a number of visits to this café over the years, which reportedly stirred up friendly barbs with its owners. Because you see, the Schiavo family are granata — i.e., devout fans of the Torino football club, Torino FC. There are still supporter signs inside the café to this day. Among various other titles, Mr. Angelli was also something of the patron saint of their cross-town rivals and sworn enemies, Juventus FC.
The café itself seems to have evolved and grown in distinct stages. It re-opened in July of 2013 after a three-year renovation hiatus, covered in scaffolding. In front there are awnings and seats in the main piazza. Inside there are several tables and a service area, and off to one side it expands into a café space next door (Humphrey's Room) that looks like a glass greenhouse.
Besides serving Chivas Regal, a lot of good gelato, and lunch items, their coffee service uses a three-group La Cimbali M39 and coffee from Cafè Sombrero in nearby Vietri sul Mare. It comes with a mottled medium brown crema and tastes of a milder blend of spices. Served in larger, patterned Thomas cups.
Maybe not legendary espresso, but it's still good.

The town of Amalfi gives the Coast its name. Dating back to the 9th century, it is one of the four key Maritime Republics of Italy, and it is still represented on the flag of the Italian Navy to this day. Unlike the sleepier Ravello up the nearby cliffs, Amalfi is heavily overrun with tourists during the high season.
Andrea Pansa first opened as a café in 1830. It is thus is quite legendary on Italy's Amalfi Coast. It's known primarily for its chocolate (there are many resellers who use the Pansa name in town on their storefronts) and its confections. Located right on the most popular public square in town, it attracts a lot of foot-traffic plus tourists/locals who lounge on the café tables beneath the sun umbrellas out front. They sell a lot of tourist-friendly limoncello as well.
The reputation here isn't unfounded. The 2014 Gambero Rosso Bar d'Italia awarded it 3 tazzine and 2 chicchi — making it one of their most exceptional coffee bars in the Campania region. Yet despite the obvious signs of entitlement, the staff here are exceptionally friendly and engaging.
Among the towns and cities of Campania, Amalfi is one of the few outposts we've found for Portioli coffee from up north — and Pansa makes the most of it. They use a three-group GIME Sinfonia (from Portioli's espresso machine arm) to pull shots with a medium brown, even crema. The shot is balanced — and brighter and not as dark or pungent as most in the region. Perhaps owing to its northern Italian blends. The flavor is weighted more towards spices and light pepper. Cheap at a mere €0.80.

For many years, this tiny doorway was once home to the Ravello post office in the heart of town. We know, because we tried to ship three bottles of a great Taurasi back to the U.S. from there. To this day, some 11 years later, it still hasn't made it, and we don't suspect it was lost in the mail. Unless if by "lost" you mean consumed in an afternoon of drunken debauchery by the local postman.
But in the Spring of 2011, owners Antonio Di Martino, the local restauranteur Rispoli family, and sommelier Angela Donatatonio opened this space up as the new Caffè Duomo. It's now a somewhat cramped café (as it was a post office): two small tables inside seat three. But it's the outside space in the main square under parasols that matters.
It is popular with the locals and tourists alike: well-heeled locals stop here for a quick caffè, while enough tourists stop by for to-go cup lattes to justify a paper sign in English on bathroom use etiquette when the wedding season is high. Antonio is always about, and he's a great, friendly guy to get to know: regular customers get the warmest of greetings.
Using a three-group manual lever La San Marco behind the small bar, they pull shots of Qualeat (from the Perrella brothers near Avellino) that are properly short, concentrated, and modestly fill a Duomo-logo regulation IPA tazzina.
The crema is an even darker brown with some texture. Flavorwise, the shot is balanced, heavy on pungency, but yet not the typically heavy dark you get in much of Campania. Caffè Duomo is arguably the new gold standard in town for caffè and fresh cornetti. (Sorry, Caffè Calce.) An even €1.

Before our current series of trip reports again returns to Napoli, we're taking a detour through the nearby Amalfi Coast. For better or worse, most tourists arrive in Napoli only on their way someplace else. So rather than argue with tradition, we set up base for a week in an apartment in Ravello, Italy — arguably one of our favorite towns in the world, perched high on a mountain plateau above the coast.
Coastal residents of the region established Ravello in the 5th century — largely seeking shelter from the various barbarian invasions that followed the fall of the Roman empire. The most similar challenge San Francisco faces today is, perhaps, weekend brunch. Over the following centuries, the medieval town of Ravello has been something of a magnet for artists, writers, and musicians: from Richard Wagner to Gore Vidal to M. C. Escher to Edvard Grieg.
There are even telltale signs of "St. Francis of Assisi slept here" in the Gothic Chiesa di San Francesco, so named in honor of his passing through Ravello to Amalfi in 1222 to venerate relics of St. Andrew the Apostle. If you think that was a bit of a stretch, remember that St. Francis came nowhere near San Francisco and yet they named an entire city after him. Though some say even he couldn't get around the two-plus-hour wait for a table in town for a weekend brunch. (What gives, San Francisco? It's just eggs.)
Being a small town of a mere 2,500 residents, Ravello previously had a rather lightweight café culture. We first visited Caffè Calce in 2002, and then they held a commanding presence as an arguable gold standard in town to get an espresso and a cornetto. Back then, we often ran into Woody Harrelson and his family there, as they was staying at a five-star hotel down the road from our last apartment.
Fast forward to 2013: not only is Woody gone, but so is Caffè Calce's once commanding presence over the town. Which isn't to say they haven't been successful: they've expanded with a bed & breakfast at the nearby Giardini Caffè Calce and even opened a sister location as Caffè Calce 2 at Via Boccaccio, 11. Yet perhaps influenced by their growth, local competition has invaded like barbarians and flourished. Even so, Caffè Calce is still a worthy stop — earning 1(/3) chiccho and 1(/3) tazzina as the only Ravello café listed in the 2014 Gambero Rosso Bar d'Italia.
This café is located conveniently in the corner of Ravello's Piazza Vescovado (aka Piazza Duomo). Today Piazza Vescovado now hosts no fewer than four different competing cafés, each sectioned off in the piazza with ample seating under high-tech Italian awning devices. Thus today the piazza more closely resembles Capri's Piazza Umberto I.
Inside, Caffè Calce is a sizable space with ample display counters devoted to the various pastries that come out throughout the day. Towards the back are a couple of levels of café table seating, which are great for catching late Sunday night soccer matches and sipping a decent grappa for a mere €6.
Behind the bar is a three-group La Cimbali M39 Classic. La Cimbali being the other ubiquitous espresso machine manufacturer in Napoli and the Amalfi Coast besides La San Marco. (What?! No manual lever machine espresso? What a ripoff!)
Using it and their Caffè Toraldo coffee, they pull shots with a modestly decent-looking crema that occasionally comes with a heat spot and some larger bubbles. They serve the shot short, despite their wider-mouthed Güral Porselen cups from Turkey. It has a typical Caffè Toraldo pungent flavor of potent herbs and some spice. A round €1 and certainly decent, but today Ravello offers better.

Opening in November 2010, this café feels like it has been here for far longer. (Contrast with nearby Scaturchio, dal 1905.) The interior space is a modern, stark white with spot lighting and lounge-like space surrounded by bottles of Champagne on the walls. Outside there's ample seating under large parasols in the enjoyable Piazza San Domenico Maggiore.
The name "Neapolis", the original name for Napoli, means "New City" in Greek. Napoli's civilization has Greek roots dating back to at least the 4th century B.C. Buried in the more modern building foundations just a couple blocks away beneath Piazza San Gaetano lies the (now explorable) 6,000-capacity Greek/Roman theater used by Emperor Nero to perform his operas — including a debut in 64 A.D. where Nero famously sang through an earthquake and thought it a good omen.
So perhaps on the historical scale of the neighborhood, this café is a recent hiccup. But the espresso here is good enough to have been upped from a one to a two chicchi rating between the 2013 & 2014 editions of Gambero Rosso's Bar d'Italia. Even if the space comes adorned with some semi-cheesy local (Italian) tourist decorations, such as various Pulcinella masks and ornamental cornicelli.
Behind their four-group manual lever La San Marco machine, they sport four clear cylinders of roasted coffee blend options — including Arabica, Excelsa, Liberica, and Robusta. There's a Maestro dell'Espresso certificate on display, certified by Illycaffè, for the master barista of the house. However, for the Saturday morning shift of our visit we had two young, seemingly novice (and uneasy) women operating as bariste on duty.
Using their Arabia blend, they pulled shots with a richly textured crema of a darker brown and even slightly grayish color — filled relatively high in IPA cups of modern design. Its taste is pure pungency with no ashiness, bitterness, or even a bright end for that matter.
The milk-frothing was a bit iffy, however: bubbly and too hot, but this was likely the B team. Though note that Neapolitans don't go for overly frilly cappuccinos and latte art beyond a dusting of cocoa. A very reasonable €0.80.

This bakery in the heart of Napoli has been a family operation since its founding by its namesake in 1905. They are mostly known for their baked goods: a pasticceria filled with sweets, pastries, and cakes. One of their more comical creations is a Vesuvio cake on display that comes in the shape of the famed volcano that looms on the horizon. Though who wouldn't want a cake to celebrate your impending fiery death in a vaporizing cloud of molten ash?
Scaturchio also makes their own gelato and roasts their own supply of coffee offsite in small, personal batches. They also sell their coffee on request. Of course as in much of Napoli, most families only have stovetop Moka pots — so the coffee is sold pre-ground and in tins.
This is a traditionally tight space with no seating inside. If you want a caffè at the bar during a popular hour, be prepared to muscle in or wait patiently a bit. However, if the weather is decent, there's ample outdoor seating under parasols across the entrance to the shop in one of Napoli's great piazzas. The people-watching there alone is worth the price of admission.
Using a three-group manual lever La San Marco machine behind the bar, they pull shots with an even, almost a dark grey, ochre-looking crema — unlike any crema we have even seen prior. (The lighting in the attached images don't do it justice.) But be not afraid: it's a solid, good espresso.
There's a lot of life to the cup: there's some smoke, but it's not too smoky. Flavorwise, it is primarily a mixture of potent spice and some herbal notes in good balance. Served with water on the side for €0.90. They scored a 1(/3) tazzina and 1(/3) chiccho in the 2014 Gambero Rosso Bar d'Italia.

Battery Compartment with contacts
by obijuan, published
This is a proof of concept. I have derived this object from the parameterized Battery compartment: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5051.
It is a Battery comparment for just 1 AAA battery. I have added two embedded nuts in contact with the positive and negative parts of the battery. From the outside, two metal screws are inserted. They will contact with the battery. Now, you have a wonderful electrical access to the battery!!
It works very well.
For the future, I am planning to add this feature to the original parameterized battery comparment.

Your idea is absolutely brilliant! :-) I think I'll have to release version 2 real soon, a commenter on my blog suggested to add support for cell-batteries
Thanks! Version 2 is coming. I have already written the parametric version. I have tested the idea with a 2-AAA-battery pack. It works like a charm ;-)
Now I am printing a 4-AAA battery pack.
I also think that supporting cell-batteries is a really good idea

Juan Pablo Galavis caused some major problems on the set of The Bachelor: After The Final Rose when he refused to tell his girlfriend Nikki Ferrell that he loved her on national TV and would not comply with The Bachelor's normal standards throughout the season.
"There was major tension on the set of the After The Final Rose special," an insider told RadarOnline.com.

"Juan Pablo did not get along with anyone," the insider added.
And that especially included the show's host, Christ Harrison.
"Chris wouldn't even talk to Juan Pablo between shots," the insider said. "He was annoyed and felt Juan Pablo was rude."

Juan Pablo's crazy behavior left a bad taste in producers' mouths.
According to the insider, Juan Pablo neglected his Bachelor duties.
"Producers are furious that Juan Pablo is seemingly turning his back on the show," the insider said. "Just the way he talks about the show, the way he antagonizes people on social media, he's not creating a likable atmosphere."
And while Juan Pablo and Nikki took their relationship public, the insider said that the couple was just pretending… or at least Juan Pablo was!
"Juan Pablo and Nikki were holding hands after the show," the insider said. "But it looked forced on Juan Pablo's part."
Sadly, Nikki is the one getting the raw end of the deal. "It's real for her, but I don't know what he thinks," the insider said.
