Yesterday I let my boys help me cut my small scraps into circles using the Accuquilt cutter. I'm not sure "help" is the right word…..I took a 2 second bathroom break and came back to scraps everywhere.
Scraps in every room on every surface…even in the kitchen sink. Literally. I would have taken a picture to prove it but there were dishes in that sink too….LOTS of dishes.
Boys are crazy…and loud…and I love them to death…but they're loud…especially in pairs.
Earlier in the day I got everybody ready for church only to find out our church had been rescheduled for earlier that morning…so we missed it. Getting 3 kids ready + myself semi-ready for church is hard work.
So I got everybody un-ready and we headed to a park for a picnic. Gotta love Sundays.
If your in the market for pre-cuts this week Jera at Quilting in the Rain is having a pre-cut sale:
Have a great week! –Al

Small-block engines have a resiliency like no other. Their simplistic design is easy to maintain and when treated correctly, can withstand years of abuse in street or race form. Almost any solid short-block can be reincarnated for other duties with fresh bearings, a new valvetrain, and a bigger set of lungs with a matching manifold. And that's exactly what we did. We got our hands on a fully built, low-compression short-block with four-bolt mains, a Scat crank with 5.700-inch H-beam rods, and a set of Ross dished pistons. Built some years back, originally with a Weiand 177 supercharger, the 383ci mill produced 615 hp on the cheap juice to make the perfect weekend-warrior bracket racer for a '72 Camaro.
While combinations are available to fit a wide variety of budgets or applications, street longevity is where it's at for us. It's also where you'll see the most return for the money. This particular 383ci powerplant was beginning its second life, and street duties were the new priority. The blower, along with the blower-spec'd camshaft (114 lobe center), rockers, lifters, and cylinder heads were all pulled to create a naturally aspirated street-specific motor. This time around, we went with a custom-grind, higher-lift COMP solid-roller camshaft with 242/248 degrees duration at 0.050 inch and 0.571/0.577 inch of lift. We also completed the valvetrain with a set of roller rockers and solid-roller lifters, too. Our set of aluminum Patriot Performance cylinder heads were outfitted with 2.02-/1.60-inch intake/exhaust valves and 0.575-inch-lift springs and are CNC-machined to flow 215cc right from the box! To up the ante, we even tested a single- and dual-plane Weiand manifold. To our surprise, the single-plane made less average power than the dualproof that more isn't always better.
We followed the power-hungry Vrbancic Brothers out of Ontario, California's The Carb Shop as the pair put together a 383ci combination that would satisfy the most insatiable diet for grunt. We got down and dirty by cleaning the tops of each piston and the deck, and began adding the new camshaft and top end. We illustrate the parts used and how much power our 383ci put down on the dyno at Vrbancic Brothers' engine dyno.
Freedom Series
Patriot Performance's Freedom Series line of cylinder heads cover every runner volume from 195 to 225 cc. For this particular build, we went with the 215cc runners and ordered a custom 60cc combustion chamber to bump up compression. Patriot's small-block cylinder heads were designed with countless hours of R&D and have 100 percent CNC-ported intake and exhaust runners. These heads were assembled with 2.02-/1.60-inch intake/exhaust stainless steel valves, 0.575-inch-lift springs, steel retainers, machined locks, viton seals, 3/8-inch studs, and guideplates. Bronze guides are also included with a five-angle valve job and hand blending of the bowls.
Combustion Chamber (custom) 60 cc
Intake Runner 215 cc
Exhaust Runner 65 cc
Intake Valve 2.02 inches

Standing in the middle of a black lake of Tarmac somewhere in the Arizona desert is not the sort of place you might expect to have a motoring epiphany. But, unless I'm very much mistaken, that's what has just happened. I've been swapping between two Ariel Atoms for the past 30mins or so, just to make sure, but without a stopwatch to give me the empirical answers, I'm going to have to go with my gut.
First drive: Nissan BladeGlider mule
Nissan recruits TG in the making of its bonkers DeltaWing-for-the-street concept…
And, despite everything I've ever learned or thought about lower, wider cars being better handling than taller, narrow ones - and I have the scars to prove my beliefs - the funny looking Atom with the narrow front end has handling that is not only equal to but probably better than the regular one.
I say probably better as it's only a suspicion at this point, a seat of the pants feeling that I've been trying to assimilate while still freaking out over driving what feels like a headless horse. A headless horse with knackered wheel bearings and a roll cage.
But it's important we get it right as there are a lot of people at Nissan who are waiting to hear what we think. Nissan high ups have already taken their pound of flesh from the two test mules, and the chassis teams have done their worst to them to see how they stack up under extreme load. Now it's time to get TG's opinions.
In reality the project has probably already been green lit, but that's not the story at the moment. There's still a paternal, project-deciding level of interest in our thoughts from TG's favourite chassis guru, Ben Bowlby, Nissan's Director of Motorsport Innovation and father of the Deltawing which started all this.
But before we get to Ben, a few details about how and why we are here. We all know about the Deltawing at Le Mans, the electric Zeod version that's going next year, and we've all seen the pictures of the bonkers BladeGlider concept car that uses the same narrow front track/rear weight bias, that's just been unveiled at the Tokyo Motor Show. But virtually no one has got behind the wheel of the racer - other than Top Gear's Ollie Marriage - and absolutely no one has driven the road version. Including the Nissan management.
So, before they nailed their colours to the narrow front track/rearward weight concept and went public with the BladeGlider, they insisted on having a go in a mule that could simulate the benefits of having such an unusual 30/70 front/rear weight layout. That's when they turned to Ben and gave him six weeks to come up with some kind of working technology prototype, to prove the concept could and would work just as well on the road as on the track. This is what we are driving today.
With no time to waste building something from the ground up, Ben had to get a weave on, fast. That's where the Atom came to the rescue. 'We needed a road car that was based around the principles of a narrow front track, rearward weight distribution with rear-wheel drive,' says Bowlby. 'So we took a donor vehicle [the Atom] that was a sporty and exciting and recognized enthusiast machine, and we said, OK, that's a very high standard. Let's apply the understanding that we have for the narrow track to that same vehicle.'
Having bought the two pristine Atoms, Ben then squirreled one of them away to his shed in Indy and set about creating the BladeGlider mule. The first thing he did was narrow the front suspension from 1.6 metres to a metre. Then he stretched the wheelbase by eight per cent. These two changes shifted front weight distribution from the standard car's 37 per cent down to 29 per cent, or almost exactly the same as the BladeGlider. To compensate for the loss of front roll stiffness, Ben's team then added an anti-roll bar to the back of the car, which added 10kg. And that was about it.
Other than the all-important changes to the wheels and tyres. The front tyre width was reduced by 40mm from a 195 to a 155 - it now runs tyres from a Smart - and the rear was increased by 40mm from a 205 to a 245. This is key to the whole Deltawing idea working - there is no net change in the amount of tyre in contact with the road, it's just redistributed relative to the weight shift. 'That's a very, very important part of how this narrow track concept works,' says Bowlby. 'It gives us this unique, consistent, and somehow coherent handling characteristic that's great fun to drive and makes you feel like a great driver.'
With the test mule built, Ben and his crew enlisted the help of NISMO driver Michael Krumm to shake it down. Krumm was skeptical to start with, unsure that it would translate from the track to the road. But after eight days pounding around Michelin's proving ground in South Carolina, he changed his tune when he took a look at the stopwatch.
'We tried different tire compounds and constructions,' says Bowlby. 'We tried different roll stiffnesses. We looked at the mass distribution in the car, and we got comfortable in brake distribution, wet weather running, bumps, lumps, auto test track. And we established that by making these changes to the weight distribution on the tyres, but without changing the overall weight of the car or the amount of tyre in contact with the road, we'd made a car that was appreciably faster.'
Appreciably in race terms can mean a fraction of a second. But not here. Try two seconds a lap on a 40 second total lap time. That's an instant five per cent improvement, which is huge. Just to ram home the results, Ben had cleverly engineered the mule so that the front track could be changed in 30mins from one metre to 1.3m and then the full 1.6m of the stock car. '
And the result? 'It was fascinating because the actual pleasure of driving the car was enhanced as the two front tyres kept more and more of their load consistently through the corner [i.e. as the track got narrower and narrower],' he says. 'I think that's really the secret of the car, that you have very little load transfer. So cornering doesn't take weight off the inside tire and move it to the outside tire at the front.'
The other part of the equation, of particular relevance to the BladeGlider, but clearly not the naked Atom test mule, is the narrow track also has huge aerodynamic benefits. The smaller front cross-section helps but so do the very narrow front tyres you can run with this set up. As they don't disrupt the air as much as regular-sized tyres the air moves faster over the rest of the car. The flow is upset when it hits the rear tyres, but that's OK as it helps drive the drag rearwards which gives much greater directional stability at high speed, in cross winds and when passing other vehicles.
Anyway, that's the science theory bit. Does it all work in practice? A quick drive of the standard Atom makes me think that the BladeGlider mule car hasn't got a hope. The regular Ariel is scalpel accurate, fibre optic fast and has endless grip. With no stopwatches on hand I try and benchmark speeds at which the car does certain manoeuvres - oversteer, braking, turn in, etc - around the course of cones. And then I jump in the mule and try and do the same thing.
First thing you notice in the mule is that you are sitting in the middle of the car instead of to one side, which is nice. The second thing you notice, thanks to the Atom's lack of bodywork, is that someone has stolen the front suspension and wheels. Which is disconcerting and odd. I'd have almost preferred it if the footwells had been paneled off to hide this, as it definitely affects how you initially feel about the car. Blame it on years of watching Reliant Robin crashes, but it takes a while to get used to.
Once you do, though, the Frankencar quickly starts making sense. In a straight line it doesn't feel any different. In hard cornering, instead of transferring all the weight to the outside wheel, it stays spread across both tyres, which together are wider - 310mm - than the standard Atom's 195mm tyre. So you have more grip and feel and you can pile on more power. And because you've got bigger rear tyres you can load them up harder and faster. I could fee it happening but the only problem I had was proving it.
I kept checking the speedo at the key moments to read off the speeds, but it was always almost exactly the same as the standard car. I tried swapping back and forth a couple of times but it kept happening. So I started to think that maybe the mule just felt faster, which was fine. But I was still a little disappointed. Until I mentioned it to Ben. 'Ah,' he said. 'I forgot to mention that. The speedo on the mule is seven percent slower because of the changes to the car.'
Bingo. Take two per cent off for my dodgy speed readings and I'd found where that magic five per cent extra speed everyone else had extracted had been hiding all along. Which brings us to where we came in: standing in the middle of a heat-hazed test track with a definite feeling that this narrow tracked Atom, the BladeGlider concept and any other narrow tracked Nissan vehicles are something that we want to know about - and drive - more. A lot more. Preferably on the road next. Particularly if the speedometer works properly...

Today we made the most of a flat, hot, and windy day. The action kicked off at 4:30am when I met a friend at Palm Beach and went kayak fishing. As any old salt down here will tell ya, a northerly wind is bad for fishing but we went anyway. The fish got off easy today…but we will be back and ready to kill.
After a meeting (yes we manage to mix in a bit of the W word) with Dylan from Chili Surfboards we grabbed our old intern the Ranga aka Blake Kueny and the one and only Carissa Moore and took in some of Australia's many natural wonders. Carissa is my new favorite human and I'll just go ahead and make the call that she's gonna be World Champ on of these days. Don't let her sweetness fool ya—this girl is as competitive as all hell and here to win.
The afternoon inevitably led into a few beers at base camp, Komune, and before we knew it TWS senior photog Damea Dorsey was drinking all our beers and shooting portraits of Mitch Coleborn, Josh Kerr, Mitch Crews, Garrett Parkes, Erica and the Hosseini's, and more.
With no surf on tap for at least a few days, the parties are scheduled perfectly; tomorrow night is Josh Kerr's movie premiere and Dingo's movie Friday. With two local boys hosting the festivities, expect blowouts of major proportions.

Dad: Marathon bomb victim had both legs amputated
BOSTON (AP) - The father of a man who was photographed being pushed away from the Boston Marathon bombing in a wheelchair says his son has had both legs amputated.
Jeff Bauman says his son, 27-year-old Jeff Bauman Jr., is the man in an Associated Press photo taken shortly after the bombing.
His father says on his Facebook page that his son had to have both lower limbs removed at Boston Medical Center because of extensive vascular and bone damage. He says his son also had to have another surgery because of fluid in his abdomen.
Bauman says his son was there to watch his girlfriend run. She was not hurt. He says his son was in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Light snow blankets D.C. area, Feb. 1
The week began with spring-like temperatures and it's ending with a fresh blast of winter. It wasn't a lot of snow, but it was enough to dot a few spots, delay some schools and keep things interesting for the Friday morning commute.

Actually, a fridge, uses EXTREMELY little energy, provided you don't keep the door open. but among the electric goods in your house, the fridge uses least of all most likely.
the amount of food in the fridge doesn't matter, as the OP sort of figured out in his original reasoning, it'll use the same amount of energy, just either take longer between using the compressor or using it shorter for more often. but even this won't matter much.
The only thing you have to check, and this has nothing to do with energy use is that you don't put hot food in the fridge. the reason for this is that it increases the temperature in the fridge, won't really affect energy use, but you shouldn't increase the temp it causes food to go bad faster and condensation. some fridges allows you to lower the temperature two r so degrees before putting in food. But this button has to be pressed well in advance of actually putting in food. (Think the day before when you know you're going to the store to buy food for the whole month). Freezers often also have this setting and allows you to press the freeze in button the day before shopping, and will lower the temperature from -18 to -22 to -24 freezing the food faster and reducing/preventing the temperature increase in the freezer.
But for anyone who wants to save energy, the Fridge, freezer and dishwasher are the least of your problem, the one thing that costs you most energy in your house, hot water. (provided you're the one providing the power to the water heater.
I just picked a random energy star rated fridge from lowes... averages 448 KW/h a year.. that's about on average $60 to run... that's an efficient one... a non energy star one now 890 KW/h.... I don't care if it "uses less then everything else in your house" it still adds up.... 500 KW/h less a year is still $60 a year I don't have to spend on electric but the reason I used this example, is because how stocked the fridge is really does not matter, it's how efficient the compressor is and how much its opened

Recent New Smyrna Beach reviews
"We were in town for an uncle's funeral, and were looking for a place large enough for 9 of us, 3 generations of family. This house worked out perfectly with the number of bathrooms and the extra bunks. The kitchen and living area are spacious - there was plenty of room for us to gather, hang out, and eat. The kitchen is well stocked, the beds are comfortable, and you can't beat the views. The location meant the most to us though as it is just down the street from our uncle's house. It meant a lot to us to be able to celebrate his life at the beach that meant so much to him, and where we have many special memories. We booked on short notice (3 days) and Catherne was quick to respond to our inquiry. Thank you very much Catherne, for accommodating us. Being able to stay here together was truly a blessing."Guest: Paula M. Date of Stay: May 2015 Review Submitted: May 12, 2015View listing
"Wonderful condo. The condo was better than the photos posted on VRBO. Gorgeous kitchen with everything you could possibly need to make a gourmet meal. The views were amazing. The owners were wonderful to work with. The beach is not crowded at all. Close enough to Orlando to do amusement parks if you get tired of the beach. Looking forward to returning and renting from these wonderful ladies again. Recommend the Pontoon boat ride at Canaveral National Seashore for families. Saw dolphins and plenty of Manatees."Guest: Claire H. Date of Stay: June 2015 Review Submitted: June 27, 2015View listing
"We absolutely enjoyed our oceanfront 2 bedroom condo; it was well appointed and organized great for anyone staying. The condo kitchen was fully equipped to cook in and also had plenty of beach items / toys for the family. We would recommend to anyone and plan to return. The view and sounds of the ocean were amazing!"Guest: Badger33 Date of Stay: April 2015 Review Submitted: April 20, 2015View listing
"Just returned from a week vacation with my family that included 4 teenagers. The location was fantastic, the villa had everything we needed, beach chairs, umbrellas, bikes, boogie boards, frisbee, beach towels and tons of room. We had both the top and bottom unit and having a separate bathroom for the teenage girls was perfect. The beach was wide, and clean and beautiful. Tom had great recommendations for eats and local activities. The pizza at Panheads was to die for! The kids enjoyed a surf lesson, and my husband and son made a day trip to Kennedy Space Center. The kids also enjoyed parasailing from nearby Ponce Inlet, with a beautiful lighthouse and museum. A quick drive from Orlando, as this was the most economical to fly in. Would love to return, New Smyrna was a great little beach town, clean and safe."Guest: Beachlover Date of Stay: August 2014 Review Submitted: August 12, 2014View listing
New Smyrna Beach Travel Tips
Set on the Atlantic shoreline near the center of the eastern border of Florida, New Smyrna Beach is a relaxing and beautiful destination for those looking to get out in the sun, sand and surf. Located only an hour from Orlando, it's perfect for those who like to have an option between the comfort of a resort town and the thrill of the city.
New Smyrna Beach Attractions
White sand beaches
With over 13 miles of breathtaking white sand beaches, the natural landscape of the shoreline at New Smyrna Beach is a must-see. The seemingly endless beach allows for a whole host of activities and cultures. Surfing, fishing, bird watching and a plethora of different water sports can be explored on any given day while strolling along the beach. Located just north of Canaveral National Seashore, the beaches in New Smyrna offer all the beauty of some of our nation's most loved coastal scenery while simultaneously giving off the vibe of a quaint surf town.
Embrace the arts
A perfect destination for those who love to take in the artistic side of things, New Smyrna Beach was named one of "America's Top Small Cities for the Arts." Each year, the calendar in NSB is absolutely packed with different art shows and classes featuring both performance and traditional artistic mediums. The Atlantic Center for the Arts, which offers residency programs to artists and classes to the public, is open year-round and considered one of the foremost artistic hubs in the area. New Smyrna Beach also boasts a local theater (known colloquially as "The Little Theater") and has multiple street fests celebrating the local arts community each year, such as Arts on Douglas.
New Smyrna Beach Things to Do
Hit the surf
Along this lavish length of white sand, you'll find people engaging in just about any beach activity you can imagine. Still, one of these pastimes stands out more than anything in New Smyrna, and that's surfing. Known for its vibrant community of surfing enthusiasts, New Smyrna Beach has been named to National Geographic's list of the World's 20 Best Surf Towns. Those with little to no experience looking to hit the waves should check out Nichols Surf Shop and Cafe. Located near the beach on Flagler Avenue, the shop is open 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. every day and offers great food as well as surfboard, skim board, boogie board and kayak rentals.
In business since 1969, Nichols Surf Shop and Cafe is the single oldest surf shop in all of New Smyrna Beach. A charming building, the cafe was first built in 1910 as a Sears mail-order home. Before becoming the current site of the cafe, the bungalow was occupied by several different tenants, including multiple mayors of New Smyrna Beach. Nowadays, Nichols Cafe makes the perfect pit stop for people headed out to the beach or back home from it. If you're gearing up for a big day out on the waves, fuel up with their BLT or their world-famous chicken salad. Inversely, for those looking for a reward after a long day at the beach or out on the water, you'd do better to pick up some of the banana bread or chocolate-covered espresso beans. Nichols is a spot for relaxation, so feel free to come by and simply take in the view with a glass of lemonade, a cup of coffee or one of their wonderful oasis fruit smoothies.
Slow ride, take it easy
Visitors to New Smyrna Beach are often taken aback by the drive-on beach that allows cars to traverse its sandy lengths. Pack the family into the rental car and pull onto the sand to experience beautiful Florida coastline from your own personal chariot. Cruise for a while until you find a place to park, then pull a blanket out and enjoy the day in the sun! Remember, there's an enforced 10 mile-per-hour speed limit, so be sure to leave your lead foot at the hotel. Remain in the marked traffic lanes at all times, and stay out of conservation areas to ensure that the beach stays beautiful for the visitors that come after you.
Love our links
With fantastic year-round weather conditions, New Smyrna Beach is a favorite destination among golfers of all skill levels. Each of the town's many courses feature at least nine holes, while several of the more expansive clubs have 27 different tee boxes. Those looking for a professional experience on a fast, beautiful course should consider visiting Hidden Lakes Golf Course. Featuring a wonderfully challenging, par-69 18-hole layout, this course is one you won't quickly forget. Plus, with lessons for the kids and a fully stocked bar in the pro shop, there's something for everyone. Take an afternoon away from the hustle and bustle of the beach to come and play through 18 holes.

I have some bad news. Chances are Mitt Romney doesn't care about you. OK, you knew that, but Barack Obama probably doesn't care about you either. Because if you read the Prospect, you're not an undecided voter, and even if you were an undecided voter, unless you live in one of a handful of states (Florida, Ohio, Virginia, Colorado, and a few others), they couldn't care less what you think. Today The New York Times has a nice article about that tiny portion of the electorate that the presidential campaigns in all their glory are trying to persuade. Although the piece doesn't address this question, it's good from time to time to step back and acknowledge that the fate of our nation basically rests with some of the least informed among us, and the system is designed to maximize their power. But first:
In spite of clichés about Nascar dads and Walmart moms, the actual share of voters nationally who are up for grabs is probably between just 3 percent and 5 percent in this election, polling experts say. The Obama and Romney campaigns are expected to spend on the order of $2 billion, in part to try to sway this tiny share of the electorate.
"There's a very small slice of people who are genuinely undecided, but it's enough to win the presidency," said Rich Beeson, the political director for Mr. Romney's campaign.
The share of swing voters may even have declined in recent years, as many voters have become more reliably partisan. A report by the Pew Research Center found that self-identified Democrats are more liberal than in the past and self-identified Republicans are more conservative.
What that means is that all of this time, money, and effort—all the fundraising, all the television ads, all the polling, all the microtargeting, all the work put into shaping press coverage—is for the purpose of influencing this tiny sliver of the electorate that is so clueless they can't quite figure out whether they prefer Mitt Romney or Barack Obama. (Yes, there's a lot of effort put on turning out your base, too. But undecided voters are where the gold is.)
Am I biased on this issue? Sure. Politics happens to be the thing I'm most interested in, and lots of people have different interests. If someone prefers to spend their spare time pursuing their taxidermy hobby (and I'll admit, Taxidermy Today looks like good reading) instead of keeping up on the news, who are we to judge?
But as the old saying goes, even if you don't take an interest in politics, politics will definitely take an interest in you. It affects all of us in profound ways. And the basics aren't all that difficult to grasp. Republicans have more traditional views on social issues and Democrats have more progressive views. Republicans favor a more bellicose foreign policy than Democrats. Republicans generally advocate for the interests of the wealthy and corporations, while Democrats generally advocate for the interests of the middle and lower classes. These things don't always hold perfectly true, but the broad contours don't change. It's really not that complicated if all you want is to make the simple binary voting decision.
Undecided voters are not, by and large, people who are thoroughly informed but are having trouble weighing competing sets of beliefs. They're not saying, "Well, I'm pro-choice and in favor of gay rights, but I also think tax cuts are the best way to get the economy moving, so I'm really torn." There are some of those people around, but most of them have already figured out which side they come down on. If you're an undecided voter who could actually be swayed to change your vote by a TV ad about some stupid thing one of the candidates said, then let's be honest: you're kind of an imbecile.
We should be clear that there are plenty of partisans who are also pretty dumb and uninformed. Both sides are perfectly happy to have people vote for them for idiotic reasons. If you're voting for Obama because Mitt Romney once put his dog on the roof of his car, the Democrats will not object, just as the Republicans are happy to have you if you're voting for Romney because you heard on the radio that Obama was born in Kenya.
So next time you get disgusted at the campaigns, remind yourself that if we as a people were perfectly informed, and if the system was set up so that all our votes actually made a difference, elections would be staid and serious affairs where the candidates carefully laid out their ideas for where the country should go. It's not that campaigns don't routinely make inane, lowest-common-denominator appeals that fall on deaf ears, because they do. If anything, they think the voters are even dumber than they actually are. But the fault ultimately lies with the people who pull the levers.
Thus ends my rant. I reserve the right to contradict it at some point in the future when I'm in a better mood.

Nice rant.
I wonder how much education has to do with our general lack of attention to these things that will affect our lives so immensely. What are we thinking about if not our kids and how they will fare in this new economy? Why aren't we really concerned with healthcare and losing everything if we get sick? What do we need to get wacked upside the head with to realize we are killing ourselves as we kill the planet?
It seems to me that we should all leave school with a diploma and an automatic voter registration. One is needed for your participation in the workplace, the other is needed for your participation in society. Because whether you vote or not, you affect the outcome of the election. Our power as humans AND citizens to change the world with ideas should be encouraged starting in grade school. Then maybe we'd pay more attention.

Undecided voters make up only 3-5% of the electorate. Statistically 57% are non-college graduates and many of the rest are women and Hispanics. Most can be characterized as low information voters. Now, reduce that narrow cohort further to only include the ones living in the 11 battleground states who actually have the proper ID to be allowed to vote. These are the voters who will decide the election.
We aren't getting the election we deserve because they are getting the election they deserve.

Very disappointing column. I'd expect a journalist to be better informed, and a columnist to be more thoughtful. If the campaigns were actually obsessed with undecided swing voters, why did Romney pick an extreme VP? Obviously, to improve turnout in his base, not to swing moderates. I'd like to see readers at TAP get the copy we deserve, Paul!
I happen to be a pair of "boots on the ground" in a swing state myself. If I weren't so motivated I would find it completely impractical to use the popular press to obtain reliable information about the candidates. I hear it all the time when I knock on doors.
I agree with the comments above that voting needs better public support. We need to imitate Australia - make voting mandatory, polls on Saturday ,etc. We're not getting what we deserve, we're being defrauded by the right wing.

- a nice finish Review by Sara
Price Value Quality
There are a few mixed directions for the hydration mist application on the website including spraying before your pressed base, spraying directly to the makeup brush or spraying after you finish applying mineral makeup.
The first time I used this I made the mistake of doing all 3 methods and my skin felt like it was burning, though no reaction actually showed on my face, I washed this off immediately.
The second time I used this I applied 2 light sprays at arms length from my face after applying mineral makeup. It felt wet and awkward at first but dried very quickly and gave my pressed base a very nice finished look! I would definitely use this after your pressed base but before any eye makeup application. I would say moderation is key and that's the method that worked best for me.

- Great product Review by Maree
Quality Value Price
When I first tried Glo-minerals the consultant suggested that I "set" the pressed base she recommended for me with 3 sprays of this mist from about a foot away to the middle and each side. I've tried glo-minerals foundation both ways and I find that the mist really does give the powder a nice finish. She said that people often went back to her and said "I can't get it to look like it did when you applied my makeup." The only difference she said was applying the mist. I really like this product and will continue to buy it.

Living in a dry climate, my skin gets pretty parched. Once I apply my pressed foundation I ALWAYS have to spray some of this on. It makes my skin look dewy and feel hydrated. It's something I make sure to keep in my bag to use throughout the day!

Oklahoma's Main Street program helps return vitality to the heart of communities across the state while preserving our history and culture.
Forming an effective local BR&E program is a community's best and most economical method to grow the local economy. Assisting business with expansion projects demonstrates that a community places a high value on their local businesses and fosters solid relationships between government and the business, making them partners in economic growth.
Often called the "regional approach," regional economic development seeks to advance the development of economic regions through coordinated efforts that benefit of all member communities in the region.
Commerce manages a portfolio of competitive grant and funding programs supported by state and federal funds which enable communities to leverage local resources to ensure a better quality of life. These programs address infrastructure, housing, emergency shelters, energy-efficiency initiatives, self-sufficiency programs, and more. Together, by meeting the basic needs of citizens and industry alike, such programs enhance the capacity of communities to compete for talent and investment.
Decision-makers in business want to remove as many "unknowns" as possible before committing financial resources. Two certification programs offered by Commerce – Work Ready and Site Ready – remove unknowns by providing reliable, pertinent information. Participating communities use these programs to enhance their competitive advantage in attracting human and financial capital.
In addition to planning, implementing, and monitoring programs that are offered in every part of the state, our dedicated team has excellent long-standing relationships with private non-profit organizations serving every county of the state and strong, on-going relationships with local government officials, making "partnership" the way we do business.
Using state and federal funds to provide services that help individuals and families become financially stable and self-sufficient supports the mission of Commerce by strengthening the health of local economies.

Euro Thrash
Camaros are often considered an icon of American hot rodding, but that doesn't mean they aren't popular in other parts of the world as well. This '99 export Z28 was originally delivered to Germany but later found its way to the Netherlands, and then to the garage of Matthijs Grit. Since picking up his little slice of Americana, Matthijs has logged over 40,000 kilometers on the car, and loving every one of them. "Although the car doesn't look too flashy, it really turns heads and gets a lot of second looks wherever I show up with it. Most important to me is that I really like it! Last year, my buddy and I went to the Geneva Auto Show with the Camaro. It was a great trip, and on the way back we went through the snowy Jura mountains with the t-tops off. We've got the same trip planned for next March," remarked Matthijs. He's also managed to do a few mods to the car like swapping over to the 10-spoke SS wheels and adding a rear SS spoiler. Performance upgrades include Koni shocks and drop springs to help in the corners, while slotted rotors and EBC brake pads bring the Camaro down from speed. These parts are hard to get overseas, so when Matthijs vacations here in the States he always makes sure to include an extra empty suitcase to smuggle home a few more Camaro parts. Now that's our kind of guy.
Goin' Green
Bill Shadowens, of Clinton Township, Michigan, may be 70 years young, but that hasn't gotten in the way of his love of hot rods. His current love is this '79 Camaro. It was assembled in Norwood, Ohio, in August of 1979 and sent to North Carolina where it roamed the streets until 1994 and finally found its way to Michigan. Bill picked up the F-body in 1999, which marked the end of it having to endure the snow and slush of winter driving. As for the unusual color, Bill told us, "the Code 40 Pastel Green paint is a rare factory color. General Motors cannot give me the exact number but estimates are that out of 84,877 Z28s built in 1979 only about 500 received this color." The original 350 small-block has been punched out to 355 and filled with go-fast parts from Edelbrock, Summit, and COMP. Exhaust duties are handled by Dynomax coated headers, which feed into Flowmaster mufflers. Backing up the 355 is a TH350 trans with a shift kit, cooler, and a B&M stall converter. The rearend has been fitted with an Eaton posi and 3.90 gears. It all gels together to make for one fine ride that Bill and his wife often enjoy while cruising around.

A Community of Exceptional Nurses
The original CSI Academy was jointly funded by the Northwest Health Foundation and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation through a "Partners Investing in Nursing's Future" grant, and provided nursing excellence and leadership training to 23 staff nurses at seven hospitals in the greater Kansas City area. Over a 16-month period these nurses led projects that positively affected patient outcomes as well as the fiscal health of their organizations. Each hospital team not only experienced measurable success with its change project, but CSI Academy participants learned they have the ability to influence their units, improve patient outcomes and increase nursing satisfaction.
Participants from the pilot CSI Academy presented their projects and results at the first Nursing Innovation Conference on September 10, 2010. Hosted by the Bi-State Nursing Workforce Innovation Center, the conference took place at the Westin Crown Center in Kansas City, Missouri. Presentations from this inaugural conference may be downloaded here:
