Piercees often want to know how long they can leave out their body jewelry before a hole closes. One man asked me just today:
I don't know if you can help or point me to someone who can, but I have a frenum with 3 (originally had 4) ten gauage 5/8" bars. I have had them for over two years and want to be able to remove them for several hours when the mood hits my wife -- we are now getting into tantric activity. Here is the problem: I removed them several months ago for about 1 1/2 hours and when I went to re-insert the bars, one piercing had closed so much I could not get the bar in one, so I lost it (I have a taper). My questions: 1. Could I leave it out longer (say 2-3 hours) if I stretched to 8 guage? 2. Would it help if I inserted a lubricant such as emu oil when I remove the jewelry? Any views would be most appreciated. L.
Hi L. Thank you for your email. Even though I literally "wrote the book" on piercing, I can't answer your question with certainty--nobody could, because human bodies vary so widely on this matter. In general, the suggestion is: if you like your piercing, leave something in it at all times. Some people's piercings shrink within minutes of removing the jewelry. A technique for large gauge piercings called "resting" involves removing jewelry and some of the principles apply to you. This is from my book:
I received a question about initial jewelry for outer labia piercings, and it led me to make a few comments about piercing aftercare, too.
This answers the common questions: how quickly will a piercing close, and will it close completely?
Greetings, and thanks for your time in advance. I have had a VCH for about 2 years now, and my current connection has asked me to remove my piercing. I have had the original jewelry in all this time, never once removed. How long will it take (generally) to close up completely? Or does it only shrink? What kind of time frame should I expect? Thanks!
Hi Joy, Thanks for your email. The following section from my forthcoming book addresses your question:
I came across your website (very informative!) and had a question.
I am interested in getting a vertical hood piercing, but I am not sure if I had sufficient tissue for the piercing. I tried the cotton swab thing and although it seems like enough, I was still unsure. I would just feel strange going to a piercer, dropping drawers and them saying "sorry, no can do.". Kind of awkward. Any other ways I could make sure? Casey
I am sorry to bother you again, but I ended up getting the triangle piercing and now have a situation on my hand that I do not know how to deal with. I have a feeling that the piercer placed it a tad too low. It looks fine ( at least to my untrained eye ) but I suspect that it is slightly under the clitoris rather than directly behind it. It is probably right on the border of where the clitoris ends and though I am sure it reached some nerves I do not think it hits the holy grail. When I press on the clitoris I do not feel stimulation behind it like the way you are supposed to. I do not think it sits in the optimum place. Then again, it's only been a few days. Should I go to the piercer and ask her to redo it? Should I wait till it heals fully before going back? I am afraid she will forget me if I wait that long. Plus, I do not want to lose time since I will have to get it repierced and wait yet again for it to heal. Will getting a larger ring help? Am I supposed to pay the salon again? Is there any way that one could tell for sure if it's in the right place just by looking or is it the sort of thing that only the wearer can feel?
I would really appreciate any advice that you could give me on the matter because I am at a loss and getting this piercing meant the world to me. Thank you so much for your attention. T.
Hi, I would be grateful if you could give me some advice regarding penis piercings. I have just realised that my boyfriends piercing has come off during sex. i found the hoop part to it, but could not find the ball part. I would be grateful if you could offer me some advice as to what I should do next.
Many thanks.
Hello Elayne,
I am thinking about getting a VHC piercing. . . I read your article about genital piercing and I wanted to thank you for making that information available to everyone.
I am hoping that this piercing will help me break free from the self imposed chains on my sexuality. I'm not sure why or how it happened but, over the years I became extremely sensitive to the derogatory things men would say about a woman's body. Even acts of innocent school boy humor would cripple me in my mind. I felt shameful of my less-than-perfect breasts and weird looking vagina which caused me to be very guarded during sex, even in a committed relationship.
In the past I have always shielded my body from others eyes, from embarrassment. However, I am now with someone who for some reason sparked me to work on my mental and emotional problems with my sexuality. In just a few shorts months I have improved greatly. I am starting to realize that everyone is different looking and that no one looks like a porn start with a perfect, hairless, tan and pink vagina with hardly any labia. I am starting to adapt a new idea of "normal" which is that there is no such thing and that if you love someone you will love everything about them, even if it's different or strange. I feel as if this piercing could be very beneficial for my process of reclaiming pride in my body and sexuality.
Thank you very much for your time and once again thank you for your website.

Some say the developers really don't care if their title is pirated or not, and seem to cite personal (in-person, LAN party) experiences with the developers actually provide the resources to obtain an illegal copy.
Some utilise their sense of entitlement to justify their actions, thinking that if they already ordered the game, then they should be able to play any copy. They slip past analogies and con themselves into unrighteousness.
Look, this game HAS leaked. There are videos and screenshots available off-site. If that's your persuasion, then go for it. Don't bring it here.
If we need to talk more about piracy, start a new thread about it, where we may be able to discuss the finer points of all sides of the argument. Don't clog up this one though. This is about a possibly great game that releases in a few days, that a lot of people are paying for, that a lot of people will enjoy.
Let's keep it about the game, while honoring MikeC's site ethics.
I just want to say this about the whole situation. I had no intention of buying this game, absolutely NONE! I played the MP beta and I hated the MP beta, I mean with a passion.
Fast forward post leak.
I just pre-ordered it on Steam. +1 sale EA/DICE.
There should ALWAYS be a demo. The lack of demos before a game launches just shows the lack of confidence in these game developers - or - they don't want you too see what a POS their game is before you buy it.

Answer #1Russ April 10, 2009, 16:49Master
I would be suspect of replacing a ignition module to correct a theft system fault. The more common cause is a faulty ignition lock cylinder which includes the sensor that reads the key. Sorry I do not have the price information on the ignition lock cylinder but you should expect to pay $100 - $150 for labor. Parts and labor for the ignition module should be in the $150 - $200 range.

29 year old woman | Danbury, CT, USA | Seeking men 26-32 within 30 miles
Those who don't believe in magic, will never find it.
Born and raised in CT, traveled to MD for school and ended up back here. I love to travel (day trips or long trips), but always end up back home in CT, I love being here, surrounded by family and friends. I've got my "stuff" together so to speak, I've got a house, a solid job, I'm missing that piece of having someone special in my life to share it all with. I'm an easy going, down to earth kinda girl. I'm not into fancy dinners and trying to impress other people. I'm happier going to a dive bar for a drink, or meeting up with friends at the local diner than going to a super high class restaurant where ordering a water with lemon is frowned upon. Don't get me wrong, I can hold my own at the restaurant where you can't pronounce anything on the menu, but I'm more impressed with good conversation and comfort, than the expensive food. I'm learning to be quite handy as a homeowner, love learning new things, and being outside. I come from a large family and I'm very close my siblings. With such a large family there's always something going on, it certainly keeps me busy. I'm optimistic and have a solid sense of humor (I'm pretty sarcastic) I can hold my own in a group that's for sure~ I love to joke around and laugh. My friends are a second family to me. I'm a dog lover, an avid reader, I love inside jokes, spicy buffalo wings, surprises, jumping in the pool with my clothes on, and yes, believe it or not, a good football game! I smile a lot, and while I don't use "lol" I do laugh a lot too. I love going out somewhere to get dressed up, and then coming home and curling up in sweats. I have a soft spot in my heart for kids and animals, which likely explains ending up being a teacher. The beach is my second home, I love just about anything that comes out of a crock pot, I can't wait to take a real vacation, I'd love to visit parts of Europe. I've been getting into running recently, and while I'm no where near ready for a marathon, I do love hitting the road for some time outside, getting fresh air and clearing my head. Qualities that I find attractive in a guy is someone who is driven in work, life and knowledge, with a great sense of humor, and love for their family. Someone who values hard work, and time to relax, a genuine guy who doesn't have something to prove to the world. I'm pretty independent so I'm not looking for someone who is attached at my hip or drops friends and hobbies because he has a girlfriend. That being said, coming home to a spontaneous dinner or tinkering with my car to fix something I can't, is always appreciated :) I'm easy going, I love my job, I work hard and love a night out with friends. Any questions, send a message :)

Once I have everything settled I have definite plans to rescue a dog (most likely boxer- they have a special place in my heart :) )
I haven't done a whole lot of traveling outside of the U.S. though I would LOVE to! Anywhere with clear water has my name all over it. I would love to visit Italy, Ireland and Spain at some point.
Food: Italian, pizza, pasta, pastries (all in moderation, but I love my Italian food) Music: I love the music I grew up on, classic 80's and 90's music, and of course throw in a bit of Country music! Extras: pictures, shot glasses and Jeeps
I love the warm weather, so going to the beach, laying out by the pool, reading in the park, I'm up for it! I love going to games (really any sport), going out with friends, or catching up on DVRd shows for a cozy night in
My most recent books that I've read: The Book Thief, The Island, many school books etc. I really enjoyed them and find reading to be so relaxing. On the hunt for my next book to read-

Nicole: I absolutely loved X-Men. I thought that it was so creative. I thought the costuming, the scenery, everything--it was just so amazing. I didn't think I would like it when I was going to see it, because I don't know the background of X-Men. I don't know the comics or anything, but I just loved it. I thought all the characters were wonderful. I fell in love with the Wolfman, or whatever--
Ana Maria: [laughs]
Nicole: What's his name?
Ana Maria: The Wolverine?
Nicole: The Wolverine. I just thought he was amazing. It was just very strong, and [watching the movie] was just like I was a little kid�I loved that movie.
Ana Maria: When I saw it, I didn't know the comic, I didn't know the characters or anything�but I love action, I loved the Wolverine, and I loved Anna Paquin. I thought they were really good together. I really liked their chemistry. And of course the makeup and everything was awesome, like that one guy--Sabertooth, or whatever? All his makeup and everything. I didn't like, however, Halle Berry, that her powers were like--when she really needed it, she couldn't. It made her seem a little too weak, and I didn't like that.
Nicole: Yeah, I know what you're talking about. It's like, "come on, come on, can't you just save the day?" But in the end, everything came through�.It was a fun movie to go to.
Ana Maria & Nicole: Yeeesss! Awww�. [laugh]
Ana Maria: There's a whole story behind this, see, Billy Elliot was the first bonding movie that us girls had in our house in L.A. when we moved in.
Nicole: We had the DVD from [executive producer] David Foster. He let us watch it.
Ana Maria: He lent us his videos and stuff�so we're sitting in our living room watching Billy Elliot, and crying and laughing all together. I have to say, I really liked the movie. I totally fell in love with the boy. Loved his character, loved everything. I thought, "oh, my god"--because it was kind of a struggle, and�we could kind of relate to it and stuff, so it was kind of cheesy, but�except for the fact that Nicole here couldn't stop talking throughout the whole thing, I really enjoyed it.
Nicole: [laughs] I'm the worst with watching movies, I ask questions--
Ana Maria: Every five seconds.
Nicole: I can't help it!
Ana Maria: She's like, "what did they just say?" And I'm like, "Nicole!" She's like, "but why did his mother have to die?" or, "why this?" And I'm like, "Nicole, just be quiet."
Nicole: Yep. Everyone who knows me, that's just how I am when I watch a movie.
Ana Maria: And towards the end we were jabbing her and stuff. But I loved it. It made me cry and laugh and everything.
Nicole: I loved the story. It was very simple, it was very sweet. I loved that the little boy was just very real, a very realistic actor. I didn't think he was acting at all. And I loved the relationship�of the father and the family�.And I just loved seeing the father grow, and the father being supportive, and--
Ana Maria: At the beginning he wasn't though.
Nicole: He wasn't. But the thing that I found out was, through the story, he wasn't just a mean dad who was like, "forget it, no, I want you to be football player" or whatever--
Ana Maria: He had a lot of pain to deal with.
Nicole: He had a lot of pain he was dealing with, but he was a very loving father. And he came from a very loving family, and I could totally feel that. And that's so important to show that relationship.
Ana Maria: The two characters that I really liked, and their relationship, was Billy Elliot with his grandmother. Like she goes wandering off, and he's like all worried�and she's like, "I used to be a dancer"--I loved that. I'm really close to my grandparents.
Nicole: It was just so cute. It was a realistic story, and I really liked the struggle between the other brother and the father, and everything that they had to deal with. It was very honest and very true. It sort of reminded me, in a weird way, of Life Is Beautiful, how it was very simple--
Ana Maria: I was just going to say that!
Nicole: Those foreign films get you.

I finished it up about a month ago, got my 9800 on preorder. I am hoping the nv35 is something special because I have always felt that nVidia cards have a certain feel about them. I read so much about IQ, but my 4600 was every bit this cards equal in that regard. Though I am playing on a new 20.1FP. I just think nVs are a bit smoother-warmer, just intangibly better feeling.
I now understand your response. You apparently thought what I said was directed at you and your sys. It didn't even enter my mind. I just assumed for the time being that I had posted the highest score in the thread. Azhael, over at R3D beats me by a good 200 pts in '03. There is always gonna be someone faster. I love my rig though and am proud to have built such a fine machine. My 9yo daughter is equally happy as all my old parts went into a nice little mid tower case for her. She is running an Abit KX with 512 mb pc2700ocz ram, an XP2100, sblive, and I traded my 4600 to a friend for his 8500(a favor to him) to run in her machine. She has 802.11b access to my 3Mbps cable connection and loves to watch DVDs on her 21" Hitachi CM 812 monitor. She is a great kid and deserves all of it.

Bucks' Larry Sanders signs $44 million extension
Former PSL standout is one of the league's top defenders
MILWAUKEE — Center Larry Sanders has signed his contract extension with the Milwaukee Bucks, general manager John Hammond confirmed Tuesday.
Sanders and the Bucks reached agreement on a four-year, $44 million deal, with only the final details to be settled.
The new contract will take effect in the 2014-15 season and run through the 2017-18 season.
The 24-year-old Sanders will make $3 million next season in the final year of his rookie-scale contract but will be paid $11 million per year during the extension.
"By combining his God-given ability with hard work and determination, Larry has developed into one of the top defensive players in the league," Hammond said. "He is a very important part of what we are doing in Milwaukee, and we're excited to announce his contract extension."
Kareem Rodriguez, Sanders' coach when he played at Port St. Lucie High School, sees Sanders becoming one of the best centers in the game.
"He's worked hard at his game and he deserves everything that he's getting," said Rodriguez, who has helped Sanders the past two summers at his camp held at Port St. Lucie High School. "I think this is just the start of something special for him in the league as far as him cementing himself as one of the premier big men in the NBA."
Sanders confirmed the signing on his Twitter account Tuesday saying, "It's official ... can't believe I've been granted this opportunity to represent Milwaukee for the next 5 ..."
Rodriguez said that it was Sanders' hard work in the offseason that earned him more time on the court last season and ultimately his new contract.
"It was gratifying to see him get the opportunity," Rodriguez said Tuesday. "I believed he deserved to get that playing time on a consistent basis. In my heart I knew he would be able to put up those numbers if he was able to get some time on the floor and he did that."
Sanders was a reserve during his first two seasons in the NBA but became the Bucks' starting center last season, averaging 9.8 points, 9.5 rebounds and 2.8 blocked shots (ranking second in the league) — all career highs.
The Bucks center finished third in the league's most improved player voting, behind winner Paul George of the Indiana Pacers and point guard Greivis Vasquez (now of Sacramento but a member of the New Orleans team last season).
Sanders had a team-leading 26 double-doubles last season and his first career triple-double, posting a franchise record-tying 10 blocks in that performance against the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Bashing Boston: Do Racist Tweets Reflect On The City?
By WGBH News
When it comes to race, Boston has some baggage, from the Red Sox's reluctance to integrate to the violence surrounding busing in the seventies. And sometimes that makes the media overreact, especially when it comes to the Boston Bruins. WGBH News's Adam Reilly has more.
- Dan Kennedy is a journalism professor at Northeastern University.
- Margery Eagan is a columnist at the Boston Herald and the co-host of WGBH News' Boston Public Radio.
- Jon Keller is a political analyst for WBZ.
- Susie Banikarim is a Nieman fellow.

Northwestern (8-8 overall, 1-6 Big Ten)
at Indiana (9-9 overall, 0-7 Big Ten)
Saturday, Feb. 23, 2013 • 1 p.m. CT
Live Video: Big Ten Digital Network on Wildcats All-Access
Live Stats: TrackWrestling.com
Saturday's Match
Northwestern closes out the regular season traveling to Bloomington, Ind., to take on the Indiana Hoosiers. Match time is set for 1 p.m. CT Saturday. The Wildcats will look to close out the season on a two-match winning streak heading into the Big Ten Championships.
These two squads met last season in Evanston with NU taking a decisive 27-7 victory. The 'Cats have won their last two matchups against the Hoosiers, dating back to the 2009-10 season.
Last Time Out
NU finished off the non-conference slate of the 2012-13 season with a dominating 39-4 win at South Dakota State on Sunday. The Wildcats won seven bouts with bonus points and earned victories in nine of 10 matches on the day.
No. 2 Jason Welch (157), No. 9 Lee Munster (174) and No. 8 Mike McMullan (285) were all big winners, posting tech falls. Munster earned a 17-0 win in the first period of his bout to improve his record to 20-5. Dominick Malone (125), Pat Greco (141) and Alex Polizzi (197) all finished off their opponents with major decisions.
One Chapter Ends
Saturday will mark the final dual for NU two-time All-American Jason Welch. The senior has accumulated an impressive 28-4 record in dual matches over the last four seasons. Two of his four blemishes came during his freshman season and as a junior in 2011-12, Welch did not lose a dual match.
Three Away…
Senior Jason Welch is moving ever closer to a spot on the all-time wins list at Northwestern. Welch has a record of 25-1 so far in the season, giving him 107 career victories. Tony Pariano (1992-96) stands in front of him with 110 career wins. Here is the list for all-time victories:
1. 156 – Jack Griffin, 1987-90
2. 146 – Steve DePetro, 1983-86
3. 138 – Brandon Precin, 2006-11
4. 135 – Jake Herbert, 2004-07, 2008-09
5. 122 – Mike Funk, 1987-1991
*** 122 – Brad Traviolia, 1987-90
7. 115 – Joei Bales, 1986-89
*** 115 – Scott Schatzman, 1995-00
9. 110 – Tony Pariano, 1992-96
*** 107 – Jason Welch, 2008-Present
More impressive for Welch is that 53 of his 107 victories (or 49.5 percent) have come with bonus points. He has accumulated 23 major decisions, 16 tech falls and 14 falls over his NU career.
Avenging a Loss
Sophomore Mike McMullan is 15-2 on the season and he has a chance to avenge one of those losses this weekend. Earlier this season, McMullan met Indiana's Adam Chalfant in the finals of the Keystone Classic. Chalfant took the 5-3 decision but McMullan edged the IU wrestler 5-4 in last year's dual in Evanston.

Can I just tell you how much I love this cake? It's a lot! Ever since we last made it, I've wanted to make it again. I just need a good excuse. I remember a time when, for some reason, my brother was really into making chocolate cake. He had gotten this recipe down for really dense, moist chocolate cake. He made it almost every night for a while, and I do not exaggerate. Well, just a few weeks ago I was thinking how much I missed that and how long it had been since I had a really good chocolate cake. So when we started developing this recipe, I was excited to find a healthy alternative to the rich chocolate cake my brother used to make. And let me tell you, I certainly didn't feel like I was eating health food.
You'll notice the richness and moisture of this cake. We adapted the Green Smoothie Girl's method for adding steamed beets to chocolate cake. read more…
Recently, many people are finding that, for their bodies, wheat just isn't doing it. It seems to be causing more harm than good. But not all wheat sensitivity is created equal. It's important to understand what goes on in the human body and what the options are. It's hard to fix an unidentified problem.
In this article, we're going to break down 5 different options for what may be going on in those people who find that the piece of toast just isn't what it used to be. Let's take a look: read more…
Let's continue our discussion about methods for making healthy bread by talking about how to make your own sourdough start. A handy thing to know if you want to make your own healthy einkorn bread.
As you may know, sourdough bread rises without the use of packaged yeast. The bread dough undergoes a fermentation that causes it to rise.
But about how does one get a sourdough start to begin with?
You can either get one from someone you know or make one yourself. Even if you are making einkorn sourdough bread, you can get a small sourdough start from a friend – it does not have to be einkorn – and use that to begin your einkorn sourdough start by simply feeding it einkorn flour.
But today, I want to share how to create your own sourdough or natural leavening start. read more…
Einkorn has done it again. This delicious and useful ancient grain has now improved our view of history. Recently, Einkorn was discovered underwater off the Isle of Wight. Thousands of years ago, the area of this Mesolithic site was above water. Now it is completely covered by the ocean. Archaeologists from the Maritime Archaeology Trust discovered remains of einkorn there. read more…
Who doesn't love a good cheesecake? Well, you might not love it if you can't eat it because you want to keep your body heathy. I wanted to make a delicious-sounding lemon dessert for a function I was going to. But I couldn't feel good about making the crust as it was in the recipe. So, I invented my own! This recipe has been a huge success on this end. It can be used for any kind of dessert which is good news for all the die-hard cheesecake lovers in my vicinity.
Say goodbye to sketchy graham cracker crusts and hello to this healthy option made with all natural ingredients. Now, just a couple of notes:
1. The butter can be substituted for coconut oil if desired.
2. It's ok if it sticks to your fingers a little bit as long as it's all in one clump.
3. Don't overbake. It should be golden brown. It will get really hard if overdone. Kinda ruins a cheescake.
4. For cold desserts, let it cool completely before adding the other ingredients.
So, it's bread day again. That full day of mixing, shaping, and waiting that you squeeze into an already-hectic week. But then you go to your cupboard and discover that you're out of oil.
Before you lean your head against the cupboard in despair and frustration, try this simple recipe for einkorn bread with only 3 ingredients! Or even if you're not out of anything, you can make a nice bread without honey or oil. As you might imagine, this bread will be a little different, but believe it or not, it is possible!
Go to the full 3-Ingredient Bread recipe or keep reading for a few tips.
Without honey or oil, this bread will be a little denser than other bread but it will still rise. Here are some things to keep in mind.
1. Try to catch your start right when it's ready. This bread took us a couple attempts. One of the problems the first time was the start had gone a little far. So catch it right at this stage:
2. As with the other bread recipe, this bread works best if you add only half the flour at first and let it sit for a couple of hours. This is especially important for this recipe. There is no sugar in this recipe to feed the natural yeast, so it needs all the help it can get to rise properly.
3. Getting the exact amount of flour can be a little tricky. Forget everything you used to know about bread dough. Einkorn is really sticky especially in a recipe with no oil. So, it tends to clump in the middle and leave some dough sticking to the sides. That's ok! Also, it will probably stick to your fingers even after you've added enough flour. Don't over knead it. It's hard enough to work with as it is. So, it's ok if you want to hit something as you try to get it out of the bowl.
4. Let it rise in a bowl for as long as it needs. It should rise but probably not as much as normal bread.
With these tips in mind, you are ready to make this 3-ingredient pioneer bread! Enjoy!
I'm going to call these muffins a delicious accident. It wasn't a complete accident. I wanted to make some banana muffins that I often do but I didn't have any bananas. So, I decided on pumpkin chocolate chip. I just started kind of throwing in things from there. They turned out great! And I can tell you, they didn't last long.
Check out this recipe! It's perfect for breakfast or really anything you want.
For those of you who miss muffins in the morning, here is a great option that won't be hard on your digestion. They're made with einkorn which we know is easier on the digestive system than regular wheat (Go here for details). Even besides that, though, these yummy muffins are naturally leavened using a sourdough start. That's what you call a win-win. The fermentation process begins breaking down the grains before we ever consume them. But don't worry, if the start is used right when it's ready, there won't be any sourness in these muffins. Enjoy!
Over the years, we've learned so much that makes our modern lives wonderful but we've lost some great traditions too. Traditions that would make us healthier and simplify life. These 3 ancient traditions are not secrets but how to use them is somewhat of a lost art so we're hoping to help others put them into practice.
As much as we all love a good piece of toast, it's no secret that grain isn't always easy on our digestive systems. Dr. David Perlmutter, MD., believes that we should read more…
Ok, first of all, don't give up! I had quite the adventure figuring out how to make this recipe work for me. Einkorn is a little different. I get it. It's SO worth it! There's a learning curve. Second, time and measurments are more about consistency than exactness. The truth is, I can't tell you exactly how long this bread takes. It could be six hours; it could be twelve. It depends on a lot of variables.
If you feel like your dough is taking a lifetime to rise, you're probably not alone. So before you swear off natural leavening forever, please watch read more…
When you eat modern bread wheat, do you experience bloat or congestion?
If so, you're not alone, and that appears to be one of the reasons some people are eating einkorn, the world's most primitive wheat.
Elizabeth asked einkorn followers, "Anyone out there who's gluten intolerant but able to eat Einkorn?" Read the answers she received… These people are experiencing that Einkorn is easier on their gut than other types of wheat but what could the reason? read more…
Last night, I made pizza with Einkorn Flour. I literally pulled it out of the oven to let it cool, went upstairs and came back down to the ENTIRE pizza gone. My family consumed it in the minutes I was gone!
Luckily I had frozen the other half of the dough so I made another pizza.
For just the recipe go here.

Last week, I shared my tips for baking with einkorn but I failed to include my Einkorn Dinner Rolls recipe.
These are simple old-fashioned rolls with the wonderful taste of Einkorn. I bake them in cake pans but you can also bake them in small loaf pans for tiny loafs of bread!
Give it a try yourself! For the recipe… Click here
Since I started baking with Einkorn Flour, I've learned a thing or two, and I've decided to share my tips. For many of you, this is the post you have been waiting for so I hope you enjoy!
Baking with einkorn flour requires some tweaks but the health benefits of einkorn are worth it, and my persistence is paying off!
I'll show you how I mill einkorn flour, adapt recipes for einkorn, make white einkorn flour, and add a lovely artisan crust to my einkorn breads.
One of the best things about Einkorn flour, even freshly milled Einkorn flour, is it's softness. It lends to great baking, especially in quick breads. This flour brings a moistness to the bread and a wonderful airy texture.
So I knew it would be perfect for pumpkin bread.
The air has been cool around here, and the smell of read more…

A rare condition known as Kleine-Levin Syndrome makes a person sleep about 18 to 19 hours a day. It affects around 1,000 people worldwide.
One of them is 17-year old Nicole Delien of Pennsylvania, who once slept for 64 straight days, from November into January.
Mail Online reported that Delien's first felt the sleeping condition at around 6 years old. She would wake up in a confused state long enough to eat and drink, and then fall back asleep. Mother Vicki Delien says she wakes up in a sleepwalking state, and doesn't remember getting up to eat.
Vicki Delien said Nicole would fall into deep sleeps for days at a time, and her family would be unable to awaken her. Delien said, according to Chartiers Valley Patch, "It took us 25 months to land a diagnosis."
Nicole takes medication to help make the sleeping episodes less frequent. Her last experience was in March, according to CBS Pittsburgh, The teen has missed Thanksgiving, Christmas, birthdays and a family trip to Disney World.
KLS symptoms cause all normal daily activities to stop, according to the Kleine Levin Syndrome Foundation. According to wtsp.com, victims of the condition cannot attend school, work or care for themselves, and most are bedridden and uncommunicative while they are awake.
"In the beginning we thought she had the flu," Vicki Delien said to TODAY. "But then she just became, as the days progressed, more confused and lethargic. We didn't know what was going on. "
The National Institutes of Health advises people to wait out the condition, because it usually dissipates on its own. The NIH said, "Episodes eventually decrease in frequency and intensity over eight to 12 years." A cure is unknown.
The unpredictability of the problem confounds Nicole Delien. Sometimes I'm afraid to go asleep at night," she said.

Blending themes of pop culture with techniques reminiscent of the old masters, Mark Rydenhas created a singular style that blurs the traditional boundaries between high and low art. His work first garnered attention in the 1990s when he ushered in a new genre of painting, "Pop Surrealism," dragging a host of followers in his wake. He has trumped the initial surrealist strategies by choosing subject matter loaded with cultural connotation. Ryden's vocabulary ranges from cryptic to cute, treading a fine line between nostalgic cliché and disturbing archetype. Seduced by his infinitely detailed and meticulously glazed surfaces, the viewer is confronted with the juxtaposition of the childhood innocence and the mysterious recesses of the soul. A subtle disquiet inhabits his paintings; the work is achingly beautiful as it hints at darker psychic stuff beneath the surface of cultural kitsch. In Ryden's world cherubic girls rub elbows with strange and mysterious figures. Ornately carved frames lend the paintings a baroque exuberance that adds gravity to their enigmatic themes. Complex in its arcane and idiosyncratic subject matter, Ryden's work can leave no viewer unmoved.

I'm running through my Infinite Skills Advanced Carrara Techniques again. It's Phil's turn in the order of my TV selection. I must say… I put it on in the first place because I have great memories of the set being intensely entertaining in a very Carrara sort of way. An overly positive person like me lends well to having an instructor who is very cofident in his skills and the tools he uses to make it happen.
This series is all about making your own gear… your own content to animate and render. I got to chapter four where he's now going through the process of building a really awesome airplane (the one on the cover) using images in the vertex modeller to help shape the thing… and explains how cool it is that the construction in Carrara is similar to the way the real planes are made, in a way, right at a time when the same thought comes to mind! It's too cool.From my memory, I know that I can't take my seat belt off yet, because there's so much nore to come. He also enters the other modelers for certain things just so that he can show you those tools, and he's already taught you so many cool techniques in the vertex modeler that you could easily make them using the vertex modeler yourself by that point. His style is such that none of the time in the training is wasted on non related jibber jabber or redundant repetition. And he's entertaining on top of it. That's talent. It takes quite some time to get through all of the lessons. If you already know Carrara a lot, you'll love what you hear as I'm sure you'll pick up on some excellent new advice and tactics towards executing certain posibilities. If your new to any of the subjects covered, you'll really learn a lot each time you go through the course. To really learn Carrara's modeling room tools, following through and working with Phil, following his lead, you'll realize what can be done and acquire a feel for how to use the required finesse to create nice models using many different techniques, mny of which can replace each other. What I mean by that is that.. if he makes this part using this method, he'll have you make the next part using another new technique or tool which both avoids redundency, and demonstrates to you mouse hand andquick keys how it feels to build in another way - so when you model on your own, you'll know which ways feel better for your style of taste and dexterity.
He also goes through a really thorough analysis through the PITA process of UV Mapping and unwrapping, which is very important and will make the difference between something really good, and something that is… not. So it's good how he makes you revisit the UV Mapping for every different thing that will require a different method for a good map result. It's really a perfect flow.
Finally thers a single, short overview of "Who is Phil Wilkes" as the very last video that you see.
He covers a lot more, And I'm sure something will inspire me to come back and type some more as I watch and learn…. again! But for now… I'm turning my evening TV program back on!

ADV Big Bear Bash 2008
Sometime back in December, K60ST started the wheels turning for an ADV camping and riding weekend for May 2008. A similar ADV Big Bear gathering occured in 2007 (which was a blast) so the 2008 gig was destined to be a good time as well.
The plan was to meet at Serrano Camground in Big Bear Lakes California and spend May 16th to 18th (Friday to Sunday) riding in the local terrain.
Sooo.. lets get this ride report rollin! (FYI.. I'll have helmet cam video to post soon.. check back in the next few days after I have time to edit and post it)
I rolled into the campground with Ken late Thursday evening, met a few of the crew and setup camp for the weekend.
FocalLength (who was sharing the site) had already ridden up and had setup camp. (that's his black 650 on the right).
Friday Morning arrived (too early ) and FocalLength and I headed over to the Grizzly Manor for some grub.
As always it was maximum grindage for minimum coin. This is the kind of meal that $6.50 gets you.
After grub we headed back to camp for the 9:30 ride lead by MrMike. The plan was to head out for an easy warm up ride out to Apple Valley and back.. a ballpark ride of 85 miles. The specific route was to head up 3N09 (van dusen Canyon), to 3N16 (Holcomb Valley Rd) and hang a left towards Big Pine Flats where we would turn right on 3N14 (coxley Rd) and follow it all the way to Apple Valley for lunch. After lunch we would double back.
Here's an image that shows the route for the day.
Everyone geared up and headed up Vandusen Canyon (3N09). The video below shows a bit of what this section looked like. (IF anyone can tell me how to imbed this video in the report instead of showing a link ... it would be much appreciated)
Eventually we made it to the intersection of 3N16 where we regrouped.
We headed west on 3N16......absolutely beautiful riding.
When we hit Big Pine Flats, we hung a right on 3N14 (Coxley Rd) and continued northwest towards Apple Valley.
Here's a short video which will take you on a short ride down 3N16 to the little creek in the pic above.
Here is a bit of footage on 3N16 as we descended out of the pine forest towards 3N14.
Here's Ken stopping for a quick Photo opp on 3N14.
Somewhere on 3N14, something reached out and grabbed FocalLength's front end and he took a digger. Result was a solid hit to the body and head, some bent bars and a bike that was stuck in 3rd gear. FocalLength decided it was in his best interest to head back so he turned around and rode back to camp as we continued on to Apple Valley.
Just after FocalLength turned back we regrouped. While we were stopped Ken pointed down to my front tire and said "Hey.. you have a big screw in your tire.". I thought he was just messing with me but it turns out that I did have something in my tire.
Lucky for me the screw went through the tread and missed the side wall...we yanked the screw out and were back on the trail in a few minutes.
We continued down 3N14 where the terrain transitioned into a high desert landscape.
Here's a couple short videos showing more of the ride towards Apple Valley on 3n14.

Big Bear Bash - Part 2
By Noon we were in Apple Valley and ready for lunch. MrMike lead us over to La Fiesta where we all piled inside for some Mexican Food.
Gary and Rob gettin their order on.
From left to right T, John, MIke and Ken grubbin'
fter filling up with tacos and burritos we headed back towards Coxley Rd which would take us back towards Big Bear. Here's a shot of Pablo taking a minute to bow and worship his DR650.
Mr Mike sayin' hola.
A few minutes later I was following Ken and someone (who will remain nameless.... for now.... until I rat him out later ) passed Ken and I like we were standing still. Unfortunatley during this pass a rock was kicked up into the front of Ken's bike creating a very well ventilated front headlight.
We continued back on 3N14 turned left on 3N16 and followed it back to Holcomb Valley. HEre are a couple videos heading back towards Holcomb Valley
We all made it safely back to camp where we found FocalLength trying to work out what was keeping his bike stuck in 3rd Gear. Unfortunatley the source of the issue was not found and FocalLength's weekend of riding came to an end (FYI.. FocalLength went to great lengths to make sure not a drop of oil reached the ground during the open heart surgury on his bike)
The day came to a close with some great conversation and BS'ing around the camp fire. The night was capped off with T bustin' out some freestyle lyrics to the tune of "this land is your land" ..... which may or may not have been induced by a few drinks around the campfire.

Big Bear Bash Part 3 - Saturday
Saturday morning ......I heard that K60ST had ridden back to camp the night before with no brakes on the rear of his bike. I headed over to his camp spot and found him working on his brakes.
Sure enough.. his brake pads had liberated themselves on the dirt ride up the day before leaving only the backing plates.
Resulting in a rotor with some pretty good gouges
20 feet from K60ST's campsite there was some work going on to replace a flat on a DR350. From what I understand the owner of the bike had flatted the day before while riding the dirt up to the campground. Rumor has it that after he flatted he somehow found a ride out and then called for reinforcements back at the camp to pick his bike up later that night.
At 9:00 we gathered up for a ride with all the troops. The plan was to split into two groups, each of which would be doing the same route. I headed out with first group of 21 riders, and the 2nd group headed out with steve (AKA K6OST) about 30 minutes later.
The ride plan for the day as to head up Polique canyon (2N09), and hang a left on 3N16 and follow it all the way down to Cactus Flats and Green Valley lake. We would then hang a right on hwy 18 and ride it down to where it intersects 1N09. From 1N09 we were going to head to 1N04 and follow it to Clarks Grade that would take us back up to Big Bear.
Here's a map of the days' ride.
So we headed out.... up Polique Canyon (2N09) and regrouped at 3N16.
We followed 3N16 for quite a while until we crossed a stream about 5 miles out of Cactus Flats.

We took advantage of the shade and took a quick break.
Then continued on towards Green Valley lake. We regrouped at the pavement.
Somewhere along the way a few guys took a side route and someone ended up damaging a radiator. Riceless950 rode back to our group and let someone know of the situation and mentioned that that group would head back to the campground. We continued down to Hwy 18, hung a right and rode down to where it intersected 1N09
We headed down to 1N09 and hung a left.
By this time it was about 1:30 and it was freakin' hot hot hot. We stopped a few times along the way at stream crossings to cool down.
Somewhere along this stretch MrMike (who was kind enough to ride sweep on the ride) came to an intersection (where he should have run into another rider waiting for him) and ended up turning down a different trail. A while later at the next regroup spot we noticed his absence and headed back to find him. We did eventually run into him again. Apologies were said and Mike soldiered on.
A few more shots along the route...
It was now around 2:30 and the heat was really starting to hit the group pretty hard. A combination of heat and fatigue started to take its toll.
OrangeHeart had a close call crossing a rocky stream crossing but managed to avert a digger with some quick throttle control. BionicBushwacker also had a small spill a few minutes later.
We continued on towards Clarks grade
A few minutes Later just before a stream crossing Bionic Bushwacker's right foot peg became loose. A few quick turns with a wrench and he was ready to roll once again.
We continued on towards Clark's Grade.
More to come.....

Excellent report and pics Shlep.
I'm with the second group which wasn't included in your report. I have some pics and will be posting them when I get home tonight.
Big Bear was the place to be last weekend. It was 105F at my house, when it was a cool 70F up there and freezing 40F in the middle of the night.
Since I rode up Friday night, only able to do the Sat ride, but manage to do a full day of riding on Sunday not by choice. Rich and I got lost on the way home, instead of doing a 15 mile short cut, we ended up discovering a nice trail 30 miles long. We were more concerned about our safety than having fun, it was hot, not sure how far our gas will last, and we didn't know how to get out of that place until a jeep showed up and gave us some directions.

My photos
I have some photos to add to the pile since Shleppy is doing such a good job with the report. Sorry I didn't get pictures of everyone on the Friday ride but I wasn't paying attention. Special thanks to Shleppy and another rider who's handle I didn't get/remember since they both kickstarted my bike when the battery went dead and I was too waisted to do it myself .
Here's a sample:
