Going Backwards to Go Forward
Getting the bike legal for the lower class means putting on a heavier stock pair of fork legs and the bigger double leading shoe drum brake.
Pulled the wheels and forks off the racer and set those aside (disclaimer on picture quality, taken with my flip phone);
Pulled stock legs apart, thoroughly cleaned, replaced seals, reassembled and then mounted up on the SL;
Cleaned and serviced bearings and brakes and mounted wheel, on opposite side rim is pretty dinged up, maybe next year we'll put on some nice alloy rims??
Closer look at trick heavyweight wheel and arguably better brake then the little CR250 rim that was removed (we shall see);
Next it was on to the fuel system, the oe petcock never did flow very well and there was a little nicer valve on one of the parts bikes, it is a single outlet so I installed with a brass t, worked out pretty nice. Here is the valve still on parts bike;
Then it was on to putting in the new smaller jets, recentering the slide needles and trying it out. I'm now down to 150 mikuni hex jets in the VM30s and it still seems rich, plugs are not quite as sooty as before, so we are getting close. Luke is going to pick up some 140 and 145's tomorrow and we will try those out. If we can ever get the plugs even close to brown, we will start the finer adjustments.

My DH is filled with anxiety about the upcoming delivery. Though we have been though this twice, he doesn't seem to be getting any better. This fear/stress threatening to overshadow the final happy outcome. I'm going to ask my Dr. to give him a Valium to help him chill out.
I'm not the only one who is going to need medication in the DR

Mama V- Loving my little Emily 10/6/12
My hubs is utterly terrified of L&D. So much so that he tried to get out of being there by reasoning there was nothing he really could do for me, and that in his country (he is not originally from the US) other women tend to the laboring mother until it is over, then the father comes in. Well, that ain't flyin' cuz you live in the US now sweetcheeks!! Lol...
He is probably just afraid of the unknown, honestly. My hubby had a hard time seeking me miserable and sick early on, maybe he is worried about seeing you in pain and feeling helpless? Have you taken a class? I had my hubby watch Baby Story on TLC, look at pictures of a baby right after delivery, and watch a non-gruesome childbirth video. He has relaxed a bit, seeing it is not as horrible as he thought. And I told him he can just stay up by my head if he needs to. Good luck to you! : )
In this war, a danger there is, of loosing who we are......

Christian Bale in Talks for Universal's EVEREST
Deadline reports that Christian Bale is currently in talks to star in Universal Pictures and Working Title's EVEREST from director Baltasar Kormakur. Working Title's Tim Bevan, Liza Chasin and Eric Fellner are set to produce along with Evan Hayes.
The film, penned by Justin Isbell, retells the horror of the 1996 disastrous expedition to scale Mount Everest, in which three different expeditions were hit by a sudden blinding storm. The natural disaster resulted in the deaths of eight climbers.
Jon Krakauer wrote of the catastrophe in 'Into Thin Air', his first-person account of the experience which he was fortunate enough to survive. The film will also feature accounts from from various books and interviews with survivors.
Bale is best known for his role as Bruce Wayne / Batman in Christopher Nolan's Batman Begins (2005), The Dark Knight (2008), and The Dark Knight Rises (2012). He also portrayed Dicky Eklund in the biopic The Fighter (2010), for which he received critical acclaim and won several awards, including the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor, the Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actor and the Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Supporting Role.

Ok, this happened today, and is a perfect example of one of the many things that irritates me about today's newer MMO players and the mindset of sucjh players....as well as the way these MMO's themselves are designed...to a degree.
So I am playing Allods because really, there isn't a P2P MMO that is worth my $15 a month. And no, I haven't paid a penny to Allods. I enjoy the PvE, NOT the PvP, and can resist paying to advance like a lazya$$ contrary to popular opinion. Also, if even the PvE gets to the point where it is trying to force me to pay to continue, I simply will stop playing.
Anyways, I am enjoying taking my time going through some mobs to get the required items to complete a quest. Sure, I have to "med" to a point going solo, but regardless, I am enjoying the challenge and adventure of it. Now you can also say that this is wasting time, but after what I tell you, you will see my soloing was more productive and actually less time consuming considering.
I suddenly get an invite to a group. I figure, ok, maybe it'll go faster this way....WRONG! I am a healing class, so i start to heal as they pull...we kill a mob, one of the other 3 in the group instantly loots the mob (Only get 1 item per kill). Next mob, same guy gets it, and again, and again. So I say "I do hope everyone here is going to take turns and not simply ninja loot". The guy that was looting says, "I did most of this in a group yesterday and only need a few more. I can drop out of the group after that so it can go faster for the rest of you." The others in the group start doing the same race to loot and I am stuck being the healing puppet getting nothing done. I didn't get any of the items required that, in that same wasted amount of time, I had already obtained 6 of the 12 items. So....I leave the group, and I am the jerk. /shrug
This isn't even remotely near the first time this has happened. Sadly, it happens every other time I try to group. BTW, everyone in the group stated their total MMO playtimes when I mentioned how sad it was that the MMO's and their communities have devolved to such tactics. None were above 5 years...which IMO means that most started playing around the time Blizzard mass popularized MMO's. Not saying that is where they came from beyond a doubt, but that they were more than likely turned on to MMO's through it's advertising. But at the same time, most players I encounter like that come from WoW. But then again, who hasn't played it at this point. =P
What has happened? Why have MMO's become rat races to get to cap? To rush through every aspect of them and not consider other people? I remember a time when a group stuck together until everyone got all the required items out of courtesy and appreciation of the help. It's almost non-existent anymore. It no longer seems about the journey, but rather the destination. Which from what I thought, is the opposite of what MMO's started as, and what I thought console games are designed for. Sigh....

While I think the devs aren't totally blameless for poorly designing the quest that way, there's no doubt you ran into jerks. Sadly, you're right, it's far too common these days that people only join groups to get what they want out of it, then the hell with everyone else.
Take a game like Wow. You join a five man, work your way to the end boss, and one person gets a cool piece of loot. In a typical pug, it's reasonably safe to assume that all five of those players were there just to get what they wanted, whether it was the loot or just getting the quest done. And here, I firmly blame the devs. Grouping should be done out of choice and preference, and never because it's required. Sure you can have incentives to offset the hassle of group forming, but I've always felt making it mandatory is just bad design.

This is one of the things Lotro did well, when players in the same group have the same quest and the item drops, everyone in the group with the quest gets to loot the item, so everyone gets it in the kill, not just one. Same thing with quest items you need to interact with or "collect" you find the flashy item, pick it up and it stops flashing for you, but for others it' still flashing, so no need to wait 45mins racing against 10 others spaming the click on it.

Exactly. OP, this sounds like poor game mechanics. Thus, more the game's fault than the players. If you want to provide examples of how the community has gotten "worse" after WoW, you have plenty of other legitimate ammo to use.
Making players compete against each other does not tend to foster co-operation in my experience.
Yes, I agree with you that it is mostly the dev's fault for poor quest design. It is laziness to create a timesink that they didn't try to mask even a little to make it not as obvious it is one. Especially only giving one item per kill. But then again, that is probably also done to make you spend money on the item shop to get gear that allows you to solo them with ease. IF you are an ADD person that can't hack a bit slower progression that is.

The rat race has always been there but you're right that it has become dominant in people's minds now. I honestly believe that it's partly because the leveling is so much faster now. The way we can breeze through levels now only encourages that mind set. In older games in which the leveling was much, much slower it created a different sort of atmosphere.
The way people used to be more polite and considerate and helpfull...well, you already probably know why that is. And no, no matter what anyone says it's not because the younger generation are mutants. Let me put it this way; if people endure hardships, trials, and tribulations together they are almost certainly going to develop a more respectfull and helpfull attitude towards each other than they would if everything comes easy to them.

Yeah. I remember in EQ I didn't really pay a whole lot of attention to my experience bar, because it took so long to get a level. Plus, with the ability to go in reverse through multiple deaths. However, it made it that much more exciting when you did "ding" because you knew with it came new spells/abilities, etc.
It allowed you to focus more on the quests, which at times didn't give you GPS directions to your objective (Although most were collect/kill" style quests even then too), instead of eyeing your xp bar every kill.
And on your last bit, I couldn't agree more.

Google is your friend.
It is a sad situation, but for the most part if you want to get the kind of consideration for others that you speak of you will only find it in a guild. Even that isn't always a given, though. I fondly do remember the days of joining a pug and the people in the group staying together until everyone in the group got what they needed. Society today have bred a different person and thus a different gamer. It's about "me" and that's it. There are a few exceptions, sure, but for the most part players think of themselves and little else.
I continue to practice my old habits of staying until everyone gets what they need unless RL (read: the wife) demands I log off for some reason or another. I've been in situations recently where I was the last guy in a full group to stick it out with a guy who needed just a few more items. After we got them and turned them in we saw 2 of the other players that were with us spamming for a group for the next part. We, of course, ignored them. We finished it and they were still spamming. They wouldn't even join each other and duo.
It's things like this that sometime make me wonder if it is actually even a human being on the other end of those characters.

I see this as an outgrowth of players being able to complete most content themselves or in relatively small squads, and for encounters that can always be planned and scheduled.
What that does is cause people not to need most of the players on their server. They won't suddenly have to turn to strangers for help when a rare spawm emerges. They won't need many extra people for a raid that takes over a hundred people.
When people don't need a good reputation on their server to succeed, they become less likely to care what others think. That, unfortunately, leads to people treating other people selfishly.

It's sad how players change over time and how games change to satisfy those players, even if it means making games worse and less Massive Multiplayer friendly.

I would agree there is a huge difference between older and newer players in many things including maturity, patience, attention span, ability to speak something other than juvenile gibberish, etiquette, empathy for others, skill and experience. These players who have never played a game where reputation mattered and grouping was essential missed out on many valuable lessons.
What is even worse is trying to have a conversation with these players. For the most part they simply do not have the language skills to express themselves in any form that is not embarrassing to themselves and to those forced to listen to them. Just yesterday I happened to watch a player steal a rare spawn quest mob that another player spawned. The bad player then tried to defend himself in a very inarticulate way. It was embarrassing someone could be so dumb.
I always play by the standard rules of take turns on drops, make sure everyone gets their quest items before moving on and treat others with respect. These new players are simply awful. I could go on about all the rude things I see them do in the new games. It's just sad. No patience, no thought for others, well no thought at all is more like it, and its always all about them. Very sad. I miss the days where people would not leave a group without giving at least an hour notice or finding their own replacement. When people would never try to steal your camp or mob. Where people would send you an actual tell with a hello and introduction before sending you a group invite. Just makes today's kiddie ADHD dominated communities even sadder.

I've only been playing this particular game for maybe two weeks so far. So, I haven't been in this MMO long enough, nor on the server long enough to evaluate the Guilds on it to join one. This does bring up another point however.
I get Guild invites randomly...almost everytime I log on. And not in this particular MMO, but others I have played, I have researched Guilds for at least 2 weeks...grouped with there members, read their forums and monitored there members ramblings in general chats, etc. Once I had determined they could be the right guild for me, I would join. Usually, there is a two week trial period with most Guilds, at a minimum. Either during that time, I come to find that what they feed me in chat, or in groups, or on their forums is usually fluff to attract members and nothing more, or once your in they pretty much ignore you unless you are geared up when you join. Very few Guilds hold to their convictions anymore. Nor are they willing to take you under their wing as a newer player/member and assist you with making your character better, so you can make the Guild better as a whole. Guilds now...for the most part are molded around being elite and well known more than being a close knit group of friends to play with. Another sad realization. I'm not saying great guilds don't exist, because there are some. It's just that they are a rare breed now.
As far as not letting others ruin my fun, point taken. And the fact that their have always been and always will be idiots is also true. I have thick skin, but even I can only ignore so much of it with the massive amounts of idiots that there are now compared to say my EQ days. The numbers have increased ten fold, obviously increasing as the MMO genre has become more mainstream (Sadly). The servers are teeming with them, as are the chat channels. To me, there is only so much you can ignore before you have secluded yourself so much it stops being fun anyways, or becomes a single-player RPG due to that seclusion to escape the douchebaggery. Maybe I am losing the taste for MMO's. Or if not that, but the direction they have taken in recent years...can't say for sure. But I can say that it is sad how badly the communities have de-evolved. That alone plays a big part in the enjoyment of a given game.
Take WoW for instance. I played from release up through the Burning Crusades (About 2 months after BC's release). In that time, and as it's popularity exploded, I saw the community there corrode at an alarming rate to the point that I left the game. NOT because the game was horrible (Although a bit too hand-held for my taste. Also, as it released patches this happened), but because of the community that went above and beyond to annoy, flame, grief for it's own jollies, steal, ninja loot, spam, juvenille remarks, selfish demeanors, etc.
Another huge killer is gold farmers/spammers. This kills immersion, etc for me....and I am sure many other players. Also, these micro-transactions and item shops are killing the MMO genre IMO. But sadly, if there weren't people using them and buying items, they wouldn't exist right? Sigh...sad to watch a genre you saw the birth of die before your very eyes. At least in the way you remember it. And many will say "Stop whining. Adapt or leave."....and that is fine. But the day WILL come when they will be in the position some of us are now, and then they will understand. But sadly, just as it seems with us, it will be too late. Bah! Rambling now lol.

OP, communication goes a long way.
Did you talk to the group about your needing the quest items?
Are you sure they knew what the problem was and they left you in a lurch anyways?
I play Allods myself and community seems pretty good most of the time. I did have one idiot who was picking up the mobs that I killed and needed to pick up. I called him out on it and come to find out he didn't have a clue to what was going on and he apologized.
Allods does have a lot of group game mechanics problems. Looting could be done better.

I'm not wanting to trade in stereotypes here, but in my experience, F2P games have a much higher percentage of players for whom English is not their first language, and many players that really don't speak English at a functional level. Don't assume that just because you said something that it has been acknowledged and understood, unless you actually had a conversation with the other players.

Yes I did. As you can see in my original post, I told them that I had hoped everyone was taking turns and not simply ninja looting. What I didn't include in the OP, mainly so it wasn't anymore of a scroll than it already is, is more to the conversation (Mainly a one sided one) where I said that I needed the items as well. At one point, a member DID ask how many each person in the group needed, but that was as far as it went. They still went out of their way to loot each downed kill as fast as possible so others had no chance, hence, why I left the group.

I wonder how many times it might be the case that actual english speaking players use the knowledge of what you said to their advantage of pretending not to understand english to get away with things too. =) I am sure this wasn't the case in my particular situation, but I am sure it has happened on occasion.

China executes Filipina drug trafficker: Philippine government
Published on Jul 3, 2013 4:54 PM
MANILA (AFP) - China put to death a Filipina drug trafficker on Wednesday, the Philippine foreign department said, after Beijing ignored Manila's request to spare her life.
"It is with profound sadness that we confirm that our Filipina (compatriot) was executed in China this morning," foreign department spokesman Raul Hernandez told a news conference.
He declined to disclose the woman's identity, saying the government was honouring a request by her family.
The woman was arrested along with her male cousin for heroin smuggling in 2011 and both were sentenced to death, but the man won a two-year reprieve according to the Philippine government.

1. Effective Insulation
[What you can do]
Reduce heat loss through the roof by making sure you have 10-14 inches of insulation (fiberglass, rigid foam, or cellulose) in your attic. Distribute insulation evenly so there are no low spots along the eaves and floor joists are covered.
[What our featured homeowners did]
Used a self-hardening, spray-in-place polyurethane foam insulation that offers the industry's highest insulating factor.
2. High-Performance Windows
[What you can do]
Windows are where most homes lose heat. Replace single-pane windows with double-pane glass, insulate weight pockets (where weights and pulleys are), weatherstrip the perimeter of the sash, and make sure all sash locks work.

Yes it is both a wall charger and a car charger in one. It works quite well, except the design of the wall charger when plugged in blocks the other outlet on a standard wall outlet.

Yes. If you look closely you can see the prongs that plus into the electrical outlet.

Multiliteracies : interrogating competing discourses
Mills, Kathy A. (2009) Multiliteracies : interrogating competing discourses. Language and Education: An International Journal, 23(2), pp. 103-116.
The term "multiliteracies" was coined by the New London Group in 1996 to describe the emergence of new literacies and changing forms of meaning-making in contemporary contexts of increased cultural and linguistic diversity. The proliferation of powerful, multimodal literacies means that previous boundaries of literacy as "writing and speech" are collapsing. Educators and researchers worldwide are rethinking literacy pedagogy to enable students to participate fully in our dynamic, technological, and culturally diverse societies. This paper interrogates competing discourses that have arisen in academic literature during the decade since multiliteracies originated. This scholarly debate is timely, because multiliteracies is receiving increasing international interest in literacy research, pedagogy, and educational policy.

Live life to the fullest and have someone to enjoy it with
This is hard to answer. I like people, I enjoy life and want to have someone to share it all with. I like energy in a person, but not to the point that one can not relax at certain times. I am looking for someone that fits well with kids and is happy in their own skin
Dining out , Fishing/Hunting , Music and concerts , Political interests , Watching sports
Auto racing / Motorcross, Baseball, Basketball, Football
I like Dogs
Used to have a medium sized house dog. She was the warmest thing to me. I loved to snuggle with her in the evening. I would rather snuggle with a significant other instead.
I like all kinds of travel, though I have not done as much in the past 10 years as I could have. I have never been to Hawaii, want to go there, and I have never been to Europe, there would be really nice too.
I like outdoors and on the go activities. I like sports, though I am not a sports nut. I enjoy a nice evening out, whether it be casual or a more formal. Like to check out new places and interesting things.
Social outings and interactions with people. Hunting, fishing, sports and anything that keeps us all on the go. I like trying new things that I have not found on my own.
I read lots of different things. Current events and news is big, and magazines aimed at certain interests as well. I am not a big non fiction novel reader, would rather read something historical or a good autobiography of someone I respected.

Author has written 8 stories for NCIS, and Invisible Man.
Hi, my name is Karen and I live in Yorkshire, England. I write the stories I'd like to read, so there's usually lots of angst, hurt/comfort and, (hopefully), a strong plot - with side orders of humour and warm fuzzies thrown in!
NCIS has got me writing and posting again after years of just jotting down ideas. My story 'Blood of My Blood' is almost complete and I've started working on some ideas for the sequel. I love the dynamic between Tony and Gibbs and hate how we only see glimpses of it these days. When I feel the writers get Tony wrong I start thinking up ideas to 'fix' it - needless to say I've been swamped with story ideas! LOL!
I first discovered fanfic when I got obsessed with 'The Invisible Man' in 2002 and started writing and posting my first story early in 2003. I've always been a h/c and angst junkie and I-Man has that in spades in the series - Darien spends almost every episode suffering in one way or another! Fortunately the humour and sense of family that develops balance the scales beautifully!

Occupying three floors of Bath Street's Hummingbird bar, the Bold Souls: Off The Catwalk event showcased award-winning fashion design from around the city, combining a ticketed fashion show with a pop-up shopping experience which featured an open-door policy from 5.30pm until 9pm.
Off the Catwalk united some of Scotland's most promising up-and-coming fashion talent including local favourite Chouchou, Scottish Fashion Award winner Joanne McGillivray, and Scotland Re:Designed New Talent shortlisted Naromode.
Vanilla Ink alumni jeweller Scarlett Erskine shared the runway with design houses Spoiled Brat, Prints of Paradise, Rock and Royalty Couture and Danni McWilliams.
The event offered the opportunity for guests to interact with the designers, as well as trying on items from the show and purchasing pieces on the night itself.
Off The Catwalk is the latest in a series of nights from Bold Souls, conceived and organised by designer Silvia Pellegrino. Dedicated to shaking up the local fashion scene, Pellegrino's ventures focus on a collaborative and accessible production celebrating the best of Scotland's flourishing fashion scene. Pellegrino explained: "What makes Bold Souls so unique are the people. On one hand, the creative talent is the real engine of the show but also everyone who supports it, writes and blogs about it.
"Our wish is that all the people who are involved in our events feel like they're part of a vibrant community and that they have the opportunity to learn, grow and be inspired."

In time for Burns Night (the annual celebration of Scottish culture that takes place on January 25, the birthday of Robert Burns)—a sweeping literary tour of Scotland from the Middle Ages to the present, the only single-volume collection of Scottish poetry currently available.Scottish poetry has a long and distinguished history in three languages—English, Scots, and Gaelic—and all are well represented here. The most renowned and beloved poets—Robert Burns, Sir Walter Scott, Robert Louis Stevenson, Hugh MacDiarmid, and Muriel Spark among them—mingle with their lesser-known but equally distinctive compatriots, including many of those who have emerged from the recent Scottish poetry renaissance. The poems are organized by theme: from matters of the heart to subjects spiritual and philosophical to the poetry of place. All of the verse is marked by a characteristic energy, wit, satire, and passionate lyrical intensity, and all demonstrates the power of art that proudly emanates from, but is never limited by, the place of its birth.

Cheesy Green Chile Pork Enchiladas
Well, here we are again! Back to Monday. Just this past weekend, we celebrated my hunny's birthday on Saturday. In trying to include my daughter in the festivities, she helped me wrap all of his gifts Friday evening…except as soon as they were all wrapped, she brought them out to him and started telling him what each one is. That darn child!!
"Hey Dad! This one's a tie!"
"This one is a movie, but I'm not supposed to tell you! Shhhhh!"
What a little turkey, right?! She makes me laugh. Sometimes a lot. In the grand scheme of things, this wasn't a big deal. But clearly we need to work on the concept of secret keeping.
Also, I made my husband a double chocolate cake. {See this photo for deets.} It was basically HEAVEN. I'm not sure I've ever had a better chocolate cake. Seriously. It was perfectly moist and sweet. I'm thinking about making it again so I can
eat the whole thing take better photos to share. But that means my fannie is going to get 14x bigger which I'm not too thrilled about….so we'll see what happens.
Something else that happened this weekend: these purdy little enchiladas. Full of porky cheesy green chile-y goodness. And, if you have this pork made ahead of time, they come together in a snap! Also, this recipe makes about 24–2 pans worth. So I stuck one into the oven and one in the freezer for later. Enchiladas make great freezer meals! Anyways, make sure you head to the store to pick up a pork roast to get these on your dinner table tonight. They are worth the time and everyone will love them!
Here's how you do it: You're gonna want to make a batch of this Easy Shredded Mexican Pork and have it ready to go. Simple enough to make ahead and store in the fridge or throw in the crock pot. Once that's all done, measure it out into a bowl and add in some cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, green chiles and sour cream.
Oh and melted butter! Because life is better with butter
Stir it all up and that's your filling. If you think it seems too dry, stir in a little cooking liquid from the pork.
Now we're going to heat up the tortillas. This is a wad of wet paper towels that is not sopping wet, but isn't wrung out dry either…it's a happy medium between the two.
Open up the wet paper towels and set a big ol' stack of corn tortillas in the middle.
Fold up all the sides and microwave 1-2 minutes. The tortillas should be really warm and super pliable thus easy to work with. I hate having to fry corn tortillas, so I just use this trick and it's SOOOO much easier!
Now we can assemble Spread about 1/2 cup of enchilada sauce into the bottom of a large baking dish. Oh, and preheat the oven to 350.
Now take one of those piping hot tortillas and spread about 3 tablespoons of filling down the middle and then roll it up!
After a few minutes, your pan will be full and you'll move onto your next one. I got two pans full! Mmmm…..drench these babies in more enchilada sauce
followed by a healthy sprinkling of cheddar cheese! Told ya they were cheesy!
Bake these off until they're all hot and melty and bubbly.
Serve these up with anything you'd like and dig in! We had ours with salsa and salad! So super yummy! Enjoy this one, guys! We sure did!

Cheesy Green Chile Pork Enchiladas
One of my very favorite enchilada recipes! Love green chiles!
Yield: 6 servings
Prep Time: 30 min
Cook Time: 30 min
Total Time: 1 hour
4 cups pork from this recipe,
3 cups grated cheddar cheese, divided
1/2 grated mozzarella cheese
1-4 oz. can diced green chiles
1 cup sour cream
1/4 cup melted butter
scant 24 oz. can green enchilada sauce
24 corn tortillas
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, stir pork, 2 cups cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, green chiles and sour cream together until blended. Pour melted butter over top and mix again. Set aside. Wet 2-3 paper towels and wring out slightly so it's not dripping wet, but not completely dry either. Open wet paper towels and wrap a stack of corn tortillas in the paper towels. Microwave 1-2 minutes or until tortillas are hot and pliable. While tortillas are being warmed, spread about 1/2 cup enchilada sauce into the bottom of a large baking dish. Take a hot tortilla and spread about 3 tablespoons of filling down the center. Roll into a tight enchilada and place into baking dish. Repeat until no filling remains. Pour enchilada sauce overtop the finished rolled and filled tortillas. Top with remaining 1 cup cheddar cheese. Bake 20-30 minutes or until everything is hot and bubbly. Serve hot.

OK, looking for pork roast today. I'd probably make enchiladas more often if I didn't have to fry the tortillas. Why is it that you're always thinking of things (paper towel trick) I never thought of. Well, calling _is_ your calling, after all….that's why I have you.
Hello, COOKING is your calling…
These were very good! I had allot of pulled pork leftover from another recipe and used it in this. I did use 50% less fat cheddar and swapped Monterrey Jack for the mozzarella. Also used fat free sour cream. Nobody knows I do this Saves allot of calories and still delicious! Thanks for sharing! A keeper for sure! Green chili sauce will now be a staple in my kitchen!
Thank you for the delicious recipe – it helped me use up my leftovers! I had a cooked pork tenderloin in the fridge, so I put it in the food processor to shred into smaller pieces, then i only had part-skim mozzarella sticks so I shredded them in the food processor as well. Added some sharp cheddar shredded Kraft cheese, didn't have sour cream so I added some fat free Fage greek yogurt and a dollop of Temptee whipped cream cheese, plus a few flakes of dried onion from my spice rack. Didn't add the butter. Threw the can of green chilis in, mixed it all up, put into the mini corn tortillas, topped with sauce, added extra cheddar on top at the end and Voila! I didn't have to buy 1 single thing…. Husband and I were very impressed with how moist, cheesy and delicious these were. Thank you!!
Lauren, don't know what I did wrong with this recipe. I made the pork yesterday and put in the fridge. Tonight I put the whole thing together and it came out like mush. The white corn tortillas I used seemed to just melt away into the sauce and cheese. It sounded so good but my husband wasn't too impressed. My kids thought it tasted better than it looked, but it was still mushy. Any ideas where I went wrong?

Judd-81 Restrike, PR64 Brown NGC
Judd-81 Restrike, PR64 Brown NGC
Design. The obverse has Christian Gobrecht's Seated Liberty design, without drapery, surrounded by 13 stars, and the date below the base. LIBERTY has incuse letters. The reverse has an eagle flying to the left, holding six arrows in its left claw, and an olive branch in its hidden right claw. UNITED STATES OF AMERICA follows the border from 8 o'clock clockwise to 4 o'clock, with HALF DOL. at the lower border. Struck in copper with a reeded edge.
Commentary. It is thought that six to eight examples of this variety are known in copper, and they were produced in the late 1860s or early 1870s. The first known auction appearance was in the 1875 Cogan sale of the Colonel Cohen Collection. Today, three of those known are in museums--the Smithsonian Institution, the Connecticut State Library, and the Western Heritage Museum--reducing the available population for collectors.
An unattributed comment at USPatterns.com suggests that the reverse die was actually a creation of the restrike period: "To my knowledge, no originals were ever made using this reverse die. In fact, I believe that this die was actually finished many years later either in the late 1860s or early 1870s."
Physical Description. Some evidence of a weak strike is noted at the centers, with some surface roughness and minor hairlines. The fields appear nicely mirrored, with a crescent of steel-blue and violet on the obverse that accompanies bright apple-green coloration. The reverse is similar with brighter green-gold at the center. NGC Census: This coin, as well as a piece in PR66 Brown. PCGS Population: A single coin in PR64 Brown (12/08)
Provenance. Ex: Stack's private treaty. Earlier, from Auction '81 (Rarcoa, 7/1981), lot 320.

Jack Wells Davis (September 11, 1930 – July 20, 2012)[1] was an American track and field hurdler, silver medalist in the 1952 and 1956 Olympics over 110-meter hurdles. Davis lost to Harrison Dillard in 1952 with the same time as the winner, and lost to Lee Calhoun in 1956, again with the same time as the winner. He set a new world record 13.4 in a heat at the AAU in 1956.
Davis attended Herbert Hoover High School in Glendale, California, where he won both hurdle races at the 1949 CIF California State Meet, along with a third in the long jump.[2] After that performance, he was named "Athlete of the Meet."[3] He then went to the University of Southern California.[4] At USC he was a three-time NCAA 120y hurdle champion and the 1953 NCAA 220y hurdle champion. He was a three-time U.S. Outdoor 220y hurdles champion, and ranked #1 on three occasions. In 2004, he was inducted into the USA Track & Field Hall of Fame,[5] and the USC Hall of Fame.
He helped found the United States Olympic Training Center in Chula Vista, California.[6]

Set in an alternate setting to Anime/{{Shining Tears X Wind}}, Shining Hearts: Shiawase no Pan (Shining Hearts: Bread of Happiness) is a {{Slice Of Life}} anime that began airing in April 2012 and centers around Rick, a swordsman turned baker on the island of Wyndaria. When a mysterious amnesiac girl named Kaguya is washed up on the beach after a fierce storm, Rick and his fellow bakers Nellis, Amyl, and Aerie decide to help Kaguya regain her memories.
{{Needs A Better Description}}.
!!This anime provides examples of:
* CatGirl: Xiao Mei
* CuteClumsyGirl: Rouna the doggy maid
* {{Expy}}: Rana is an Expy of Elwyn/Elwing of ''Shining Tears'', being a long-haired blonde elf dressed in a similar costume. [[spoiler: Rana is Elwing.]]
* FoodPorn: So much delicious bread...
* GratuitousFrench: The bakery Rick and his coworkers work at is called Le Coeur (The Heart).
* PetTheDog: Xiao Mei may be a thief, but she's doing it to get money to help out a bunch of orphans.
* SliceOfLife: What the show starts out as.
* TalkingToHimself: Creator/HiroshiKamiya voices Rick and Alvin, so whenever they have a conversation, this happens.
** Neris, Amil and Airy were all voiced by Creator/KanaeIto in the game. For the anime, however, Neris and Airy are now voiced by Creator/MaiAizawa and Shiori Mikami, respectively, while Amil remains voiced by Ito.

continued "The weights are dropped straight down to harness the natural force of gravity," explained Podolak. "As the weights fall, a mechanism turns and the pumpkin flies forward ... We noticed those who had a vertical drop harnessed more gravitational force."
The change in design paid off, but it wasn't an overnight improvement.
"We did a lot of trial and error," said Podolak, who added the team chronicled its progress with videos and photos.
Though this year the vertical drop was a recipe for success, Podolak said he and his team area already setting their sights on what next year's design will entail.
"I think we can get even more distance," he said. "We've already noticed where we can make improvements."
Regardless of how they place, Podolak said he's excited students have a chance to learn in an environment that takes them outside the classroom.
"This gives them a chance to go beyond sitting in a class every day and reading books ... this teaches them the practicality of things and really encourages their love of physics," he said.
"It encourages discussions and, with something like this that helps charities, it teaches the importance of community involvement," he added, noting the festival benefits the Lamoille Family Center in Morrisville, Vt., and the Cambridge Rotary.
The SUNY Plattsburgh team's project was made possible by funding from the university's student association. Last year's project was funded through the university's physics department.

Kale and Farro Salad
Oh what?? A blog post? Do people even blog anymore? Or are Instagram posts enough these days? I've certainly fallen off the face of the earth but for some completely valid reasons. My camera broke for starters, which was tragic. We tried to get it repaired but in the end it was just as economical to purchase a new one. Also, I'm expecting, and I had the worst morning sickness ever. It lasted well beyond the first trimester, and only around 20 weeks did I start finally feeling better. So much better that I've been scouring new recipes and back in the kitchen with gusto. Despite the nausea I still had a hungry family so there was plenty of cooking going on but not with a smile on my face, that was for sure. I was, however, smiling and excited when I was making this salad.

Telecom company plans to hire 55 people over three years
Huawei Technologies celebrated the opening of its new regional headquarters in Bridgewater on Friday and the telecom company plans to add at least 55 jobs over the next three years.
In addition to sales, services and operations, the new headquarters will serve as Huawei's North American research and development hub for wireless technologies.
Huawei, a telecom solutions provider, had four employees when it moved to New Jersey in 2008. The company now has about 110 employees in the state.
"With the opening of the Bridgewater facility, we will continue close collaboration with U.S. technology partners, suppliers and vendors, as well as research-oriented universities to deliver world-class integrated solutions to our U.S. customers," Charles Ding, president of Huawei North America and co-president of Huawei USA, said.
Lt. Gov. Kim Guadagno attended the opening.
"Businesses go where they are welcome," Guadagno said. "In October of last year, I reached out to Huawei to let them know we wanted them to grow with us in New Jersey. Less than a year later, and after working with the state Economic Development Authority, we stand at a ribbon cutting which solidifies New Jersey's commitment to Huawei and Huawei's commitment to New Jersey. This is the story of New Jersey's comeback."
Huawei has nearly 1,500 employees nationwide. Princeton and Rutgers are among the American universities that have benefited from Huawei's program sponsorships – which totaled more than $10 million in 2010. Huawei's products and solutions have been deployed in more than 100 countries and support the communications needs of one third of the world's population. It is headquartered in Shenzhen City, China.
Guadagno has made economic development a component of her office. She is in the midst of visiting 100 businesses statewide to show the Christie's administration's support for business and employment growth.

Brittany Tillery was shocked when she found out she'd made the Gulf South Conference All-Decade softball team. No one else was surprised.
The University of Mississippi has the papers. Is Houston Nutt thinking clearly enough to say no? That question could be answered very soon, as the Ole Miss football coach decides what to do about former University of Oregon quarterback Jeremiah Masoli.
MACON -- The names might be different, but the approach will stay the same. That's the message Sammy Lindsey and the rest of the Central Academy fast-pitch softball team want opponents to know this season.
STARKVILLE -- Mississippi State's track and field programs are in trusted hands after the university announced Monday the promotions of veteran coach Al Schmidt and longtime assistant and alumnus Steve Dudley. After 22 seasons leading MSU's track teams, Schmidt will now work as director of track and field. He will oversee day-to-day operations at Spencer Stadium/Maddox Track and continue to recruit.
CLEVELAND -- Swim Columbus' Corey Persons, Aaron Meek, and Ladd Chain and Shockwave's Hannah Wilson, Robert Fisher, Matt Williams, and Rachel Dees posted first-place finishes Sunday on the final day of the Long Course State Championships at Delta State University. Persons won the 13- to 14-year-old boys 100-meter backstroke in a time of 1 minute, 5.88 seconds. He also finished fifth in the 50 free (28.22). Meek won the 11-12 boys 50 back with a time of 36.08, while Chain won the 11-12 boys 50 freestyle (28.02) and the 11-12 boys 100 butterfly (1:12.05).
Hours of summer workouts, 7-on-7 games and time spent at college camps culminate today with the start of practice for area high school football teams. For the coverage area's two largest high schools, Columbus and Starkville, today's two-a-days mark the start of new coaching regimes. Jamie Mitchell had the spring to acclimate to his players at Starkville, while his Class 6A counterpart, Tony Stanford, made the transition of Bubba Davis' sudden retirement easier by being promoted from defensive coordinator to the top job on July 2.
HAMILTON -- Leaders do it all. Dylan Earnest and Katie Beth Dahlem epitomized that concept this season for the Hamilton High School baseball and fast-pitch softball teams.
HOOVER, Ala. -- Expectations did their best to crush the University of Mississippi football team's season in 2009. Imagine coach Houston Nutt's horror last year when he was asked if his team could have a successful season if it didn't go to Atlanta, the site of the Southeastern Conference Championship game.
HOOVER, Ala. -- Chris Relf doesn't say much, and he's fine with it. Admittedly laid back and mellow, the Mississippi State quarterback is a beast when he tucks the ball to run. But even as he's dragging defensive backs for extra yards, there's never a sense he is overzealous or gets caught up in the moment. Quiet confidence exudes as Relf enters his junior season looking to cement his place as MSU's No. 1 quarterback.
HOOVER, Ala. -- Confidence. It's a trait Dan Mullen knew would come with success when he entered his first season as Mississippi State football coach. On Wednesday at Southeastern Conference Media Days, Mullen and the three Bulldogs who accompanied him to the annual event couldn't stop using the term, especially when describing the difference between last season and now.
HOOVER, Ala. -- It's all about the swagger for Nick Saban and Dan Mullen. The methods used at the University of Alabama and at Mississippi State to instill that mind-set are as different as the coaches who lead the young men.
There's always something at the Southeastern Conference Media Days. Whether it's the aura of Tim Tebow -- and the awkward question about his virginity -- or former University of Tennessee coach Phillip Fulmer getting served a subpoena in a libel suit, the event is an extravaganza of like no other.
Let the hype begin. The recruiting season is nice, as are spring games. But college football officially gears up Wednesday when the Southeastern Conference holds its annual football media days.
STARKVILLE -- Last season, Mississippi State's men's basketball team had nearly enough injured players to field a talented infirmary squad. With guards Twany Beckham and Shaun Smith and forward Elgin Bailey shelved for the 2009-10 season, the Bulldogs lacked depth and were forced to use their starters more minutes.
Brent Hallmark has been a mainstay on the mound for the Cotton States Baseball League - North Division's Tippah County Tribe all season. But today's starting assignment will be a little more special for Hallmark.
STARKVILLE -- Jack Bryan's quest to become an Eagle Scout and to help the tennis community is finally complete. Thirteen months ago, the longtime scout and tennis player envisioned replicating an existing pavilion at Starkville High School's tennis courts as his Eagle Scout project.
STARKVILLE -- There's plenty to gain from running effective sports camps, though most of the evidence goes unnoticed. College coaches can gain a verbal commitment from a student-athlete who attends one of their camps or receive positive feedback from campers, parents, and coaches.
Lamar County High School football coach Ken Adams didn't have to look at game film of all of the candidates to know three of the linebackers he wanted to play for the North in the 14th annual Alabama All-Star Sports Week game. Adams, the linebackers coach for the North, selected three linebackers he knows quite well -- Lance Bobbitt and Jimmy Lann of Lamar County and Sulligent High's Ahmad Walker -- to play in the game, which will be at 7 p.m. Friday at Louis Crews Stadium on the campus of Alabama A&M in Huntsville, Ala.

UOW's New Student Accommodation
In 2013, the University of Wollongong continued its expansion of Student Accommodation by adding 360 new beds to its current offering. The development will help to address some of the student housing shortage needs in the Illawarra region and the final precinct will be owned and managed by the University of Wollongong.
The Project
The $40million development offers the same high level of student support as all existing UOW managed residences, with a particular focus on enhancing the student experience through a supportive and vibrant community.
About the Development
- The five story structure will comprise 360 beds, with a mix of single and four bedroom units.
- The residence will be self catered with access to modern living and cooking facilities in each unit.
- Features of the residence will include indoor/outdoor barbeque facilities, landscaped outdoor communal areas, recreation areas and meeting facilities.
- Undercover, secure parking for cars, motorcycles and bicycles
- The residence will be located adjacent to the current Kooloobong residence on Robson Road, in the south-west corner of the main UOW Campus.
Located in a bushland setting, the design will be sympathetic to the natural environment. Extensive interior design consultation is taking place to ensure the interior facilities are modern, functional, environmentally sound and aesthetic. Importantly, they are being designed with student needs in mind and student feedback and consultation is integral to the process.
Environmental Initiatives
The University is committed to establishing strong environmental standards in existing and future student accommodation locations. Most units in this new residence have north-facing windows, and the site will feature a rainwater harvesting reuse system, storage for 128 bikes, an organic vegetable garden and a suite of energy-efficient fittings.
The new development has become UOW's world first positive residence - a residence planned and run entirely based on the science of positive psychology and positive organisations. The vision of having every student flourish while living at UOW is firmly supported by the combination of wellbeing and education. The community will be lead and managed by Ms Alison Hemsley. Alison currently manages International House, The Manor and the existing Kooloobong site and has over 10 years experience of leading and growing communities which enable students to flourish.
This residence is ideal for:
- students who want Uni on their doorstep – students can walk to their lectures, sporting facilities or coffee shops
- students who are happy to cook for themselves or with friends
- students looking for an immediate social network – students will share units with roommates from around the world.

SBA Settlement, is it possible?
by barnswallow, Window Shopper
- Created: July 2, 2010, 2:27 pm
Can you work out a settlement with the sba after they start to garnish your check, this was far a disaster loan, and they are taking out 20% per week, they do;t even send me how much I still owe are the interest rate they are charging me , they just take the money out.
Carol Chastang | Community Moderator | 8/16/2011 - 9:22 am
Greetings Barnswallow. There's a phone number on your invoice. That's the number for the SBA disaster loan servicing center. Give them a call. They'll be able to discuss repayment options.
phanio | Contributor | 8/11/2011 - 4:39 pm
I think you are asking the wrong people. You should be talking to those who are garnishing your pay. All things are possible and you just have to approach them with a positive attitude and convince them on your new plan. You might also want to talk with an experienced attorney. A few hundred dollars getting advice might just save you much more in the long run. Lastly, have you thought about seeking another loan to take this one out? If you can qualify for another loan (even if you have to get a co-signer) - might just be a better way and could save you a lot in interest and fees over time. I know of several business and personal loan companies that look more at current cash flow then they do at credit or past situations like yours. We list several of these on our website. Might be worth looking into - you never know what can come out of it.

Disaster loans can be really difficult to settle. Each type of SBA loan is serviced by a different area, and unfortunately the folks who manage the disaster loan area are the most difficult to settle with. I recently had a client who was foreclosed on, the rest of his real estate was worthless, and my client had minimal income. Even when it seemed clear that my client did not have the wherewithal to repay the loan, the disaster loan people rejected his offer. Instead of getting a material amount of cash, they will now likely get nothing. The moral of my story is this....in order to settle a disaster loan, you need to have a boat load of cash (and let's face it, if you had that you would not have defaulted in the first place) or be teetering on the verge of bankruptcy. Anything else seems to be summarily rejected.

We can always work out a settlement, however unfortunately disaster loans are currently much more difficult to workout and have much higher payoffs but it can be done. Unfortunately they are not very easy to work with and this information is hard to get but a workout will end it all and on favorable terms.

Matt Barnes always has a lot to say and the Clippers are feeling good about themselves right now. He basically told the Lakers fans to know their role and shut their mouth. Barnes was flexing a bit on Instagram courtesy of The NBA Lottery Pick. Once the Clippers can get out of the 2nd round, maybe then they can puff their chest out a little more. They went as far in the playoffs the last two years as the Lakers, so let's not just hand them the title of best team in LA just yet.
