Resident Bidder Definition
Effective October 1, 2009 (a) For the purposes of this section, "nonresident bidder" means a business that is not a resident of Connecticut that submits a bid in response to an invitation to bid by a Connecticut state contracting agency. "Resident bidder" means a business that submits a bid in response to an invitation to bid by a Connecticut state contracting agency and that has paid unemployment taxes or income taxes in this state during the twelve calendar months immediately preceding submission of such bid, has a business address in the state and has affirmatively claimed such status in the bid submission. "Contract" means "contract" as defined in section 4-e1 of the 2008 supplement to the Connecticut general statutes and "state contracting agency" means "state contracting agency", as defined in section 4e-1 of the 2008 supplement to the Connecticut general statutes.
% of Reciprocity
(b) Notwithstanding any provision of law, in the award of a contract, after the original bids have been received and an original lowest responsible qualified bid is identified, a Connecticut state contracting agency shall add a percent increase to the original bid of a nonresident bidder equal to the percent, if any, of the preference given to such nonresident bidder in the state in which such nonresident bidder resides. If, after application of such percent increase, the bidder that submits the lowest responsible qualified bid is a resident bidder, the state contracting agency shall award such contract to such resident bidder provided such resident bidder agrees, in writing, to meet the original lowest responsible qualified bid. Any such agreement by such resident bidder to meet the original lowest responsible qualified bid shall be made not later than seventy-two hours after such resident bidder receives notice from such state contracting agency that such resident bidder may be awarded such contract if such resident bidder agrees to meet the original lowest responsible qualified bid.
Preference List
(c) Not later than January 1, 2009, and each January thereafter, the Connecticut State Contracting Standards Board shall publish a list of states that give preference to in-state bidders with the percent increase applied in each state. This list will be made available to all in-state contracting agencies and may be relied upon by such agencies in determining the lowest responsible bidder.

LOS ANGELES — While he was working on "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn — Part 2," director Bill Condon knew he wasn't just making a movie or even back-to-back blockbusters.
Bill Condon worked to give 'The Twilight Saga' a satisfying conclusion
He was creating the two-part capper for a wildly popular film franchise that many of its "Twihard" fans had grown up with.
"The real challenge was to make sure it was a satisfying climax. So I was very aware of not only the two films that I made, but the three that came before. For example, the film opens with an overture of all the main themes from all five movies put together. At the end — I don't want to talk about it too much — but I did add this thing that sort of brought you back into the spirit of all the other movies and kind of I think acts as a tribute to the whole phenomenon," Condon said during a news conference at the Four Season's Hotel before "Part 2's" opening.
The fifth and final movie based on Stephenie Meyer's supernaturally successful vampire romance novels bowed with a $141.3 million opening weekend at the domestic box office a week ago, adding to the $1 billion the first four films combined to gross in U.S. and Canadian theaters.
"Part 2" ranks eighth on the list of all-time domestic debuts, leaving "The Twilight Saga" with three of the top 10 openings, including 2009's "New Moon" (No. 7 with $142.8 million) and last year's "Breaking Dawn — Part 1" (No. 9 with $138.1 million).
Bella's story
The "Breaking Dawn" movies — both halves of the two-film finale were shot over six months in 2010-11 — finish Bella Swan's (Kristen Stewart) growth from an uncertain adolescent experiencing love for the first time to an adult certain of her place in the world, even if she had to become a vampire to get there.
In "Part 2," Bella's immortal husband, Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson), reintroduces his newly transformed wife to his coven. The "newborn" vampire also reunites with her werewolf pal Jacob Black (Taylor Lautner) and meets the half-human/half-vampire daughter, Renesmee (Mackenzie Foy), she carried and birthed as a human. When the ruling clan the Volturi accuses the Cullens of an unpardonable crime and plans to execute them, Bella's family gathers a group of their vampire friends from around the world to stand with them.

Zonbu Desktop-1
|Date Updated
|Updated By
|Usage Information
Zonbu hardware is a miniature desktop computer, sometimes called Zonbox. It measures 6 ¾" x 4 ¾" x 2 ¼" and is Flash based, fanless, and completely silent.
- Manufacturer: http://zonbu.com
- Product: http://www.zonbu.com/device/
- Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zonbu
- Only UI1 will display properly, UI2 without alpha blending almost works.
- MythTV will only play liveTV with the OpenChrome driver. For installation see the Display Drivers page.
- Processor: 1.2 GHz Via Eden CPU (C7 Esther core)
- Chipset: VIA CX700M
- Memory: 512 MB RAM
- Ethernet: 10/100 Mbit/s (PXE boot supported)
- Display: VGA out (up to 2048 x 1536 with 16M colors with MPEG2 acceleration)
- Storage: 4 GB CompactFlash
- Keyboard/Mouse: PS/2
Opening the device wil void the 3 year warranty, but there seem to be some interesting options to be found inside:
- Mini PCI slot
- IDE connector, with room a 2.5" hard drive
- Serial and parallel ports
Booting from network (PXE-Boot)
To make your Zonbu boot from the network you'll have to enable this option in the BIOS:
- Hit < DEL > on boot to enter BIOS
- In: Boot > Boot Settings Configuration, set LAN BIOS execute to Enabled
- After a reboot you can select to boot from LAN in the BIOS: Boot > Boot order
Setting it up as diskless MD
In LinuxMCE 7.10 the Zonbu will be automagically detected as a Fiire station. Because the Fiire stations uses different drivers/settings this will not work. But it can be used to find out the MAC-address of the Zonbu's NIC (there are obviously other ways to do this as well).
- Make the Zonbu boot from network, it will give an error somewhere along the way
- In the Pluto-admin go to: Wizard > Devices > Media Directors and you will see a new Fiire station has been added, write down the MAC address (and maybe also the IP-address) we need it for the next steps
- Delete the newly added Fiire station
- Click: Add device
- As the device-template select: Generic PC as MD
- Click: pick device template
- Now fill in the MAC-address and the IP-address from a few steps back (maybe also a proper name and room) and click Update
- Note the device number for your new diskless MD (is shown next to the Name: #...)
- Click: Setup Diskless MD
...and wait for the process to finish
- Do a 'Quick reload router' from an Orbiter or from Pluto-admin: Wizard > Restart > Quick Reload Router
- From the console or a terminal on the Core/Hybrid (press <Ctrl>+<Alt>+<F2> or use PuTTY and login with linuxmce) we need to install the video drivers (we are using the UniChrome drivers here for other possibilities see: Display_Drivers)
# sudo -s # cd /usr/pluto/diskless # chroot <your MD # found on the linuxmce admin devices page> # cd /usr/src # mkdir VIA_UniChrome # cd VIA_UniChrome
# wget http://www.viaarena.com/Driver/via_ubuntu710_unichrome-v40072d-kernel-bin-_v0.80.zip (Actually see the VIA site for the latest driver version)
# unzip <the downloaded driver zip file-name> # chmod u+x <THE UNPACKED DRIVER BINARY INSTALL FILE>.run # ./<THE UNPACKED DRIVER BINARY INSTALL FILE>.run Choose to install the driver (or uninstall if you really want ;) ) # exit
- Reboot your Zonbu and complete the Wizards
NOTE!! If you rebuild the image through the Pluto-admin web-interface you will loose this manually installed driver (any manually installed software for that matter)
Low volume problem
You might experience some problems with the volume being very low now matter what (see thread). To correct this:
- Log into the console of your Zonbu MD by pressing <Ctrl>+<Alt>+<F1> (or F2 , F2, ...)
- Start alsa-mixer:
# alsamixer
- Adjust the 'Master Volume' with your arrow-keys
- When you are done press <Esc> to exit and logout

Sky Drawings
Read on for the artist's inspiration behind the works…
Sky Drawing A (2011), Graphite and India Ink on Paper, 11″ x 14″
Sky Drawing C (2011) Graphite and India Ink on Paper, 12″ x 17″
Sky Drawing D (2011) Graphite and India Ink on Paper, 11″ x 14″
"I made the Sky Drawings in 2011, around the time I was creating work for a show called Different Country (Like the Spice Gallery, NY).
The idea for that show was to approach the idea of the 'American sublime' — a landscape which is both beautiful and terrifying. Looking back through photographs from the previous several years, I was captivated by a group of photos I had taken near my hometown of Richland, Washington. Richland is a small berg in the desert of south eastern Washington State. It has the mixed privilege of being near the Hanford Nuclear site, which produced the majority of the plutonium for nuclear weapons during the 20th century. So, I rew up in a Cold War town.
I'm including one of my source photos here. As you can see, the sky in my hometown is a crystalline blue gradient which spans 180 degrees from horizon to horizon. That evening, the clouds spread across the sky like a gentle, variegated foam. To the left is the sun, too hot to look at, rupturing the photograph with a white hot flare.
That flare was the key to me. It speaks about the violence of nature, and that in life, beauty is paired with an overture of destruction. It also fit my theme: the sun is of course powered by a nuclear reaction – the same nuclear reaction which powers a thermonuclear bomb. So I knew I needed to make these drawings.
Technically, I made the drawings in pencils, and although they can look photographic, I made them by hand. The black lines are added last, using indelible ink. They were originally based on vintage video games (think of vector graphics of 'Tempest' or 'Battlezone'), but eventually became abstract with their own logic. I think that they speak to the idea of the irreversible intervention of technology onto nature, but I'm still figuring them out…" – Eric LoPresti
Eric's Sky Drawings will be on view tonight at Uprise's event "Art After Dark" with DwellStudio.
As with all works in the Uprise gallery, members can take home Eric's original drawings and paintings today while investing-over-time.

Verbal abuse after food pantry refuses donation from Planned Parenthood
Catholic World News - February 14, 2012
Paul's Pantry in Green Bay--an outreach of the St. Vincent de Paul Society and Wisconsin's largest free food pantry--refused to send a truck to pick up a food donation from Planned Parenthood, prompting a torrent of hateful e-mails and telephone calls.
Pro-life writer Jill Stanek reports:
[Executive director] Craig [Robbins] told me Planned Parenthood of Green Bay called the pantry and asked it to send a truck to pick up food it had collected in a drive. Craig told the lady calling the pantry was unable to send a truck. He gave PP no reason why but did not want to co-mingle with PP, nor did he want to give PP a photo op. He gave the caller names of other local food pantries. There are 20 in the area.
"Within 20 minutes I was getting phone calls and emails calling us pieces of ----," Paul told me … Craig said he received counsel from a pastor at their cathedral, who said they did "absolutely the right thing." The pastor explained Paul's Pantry could no more knowingly take food from Planned Parenthood than it could the Mafia or al-Qaeda.
Following the torrent of local verbal abuse, the progressive political blog Daily Kos urged its readers to contact Paul's Pantry in protest.

I hope every Catholic reading here will contact the food pantry to reinforce the staff did the right thing - and I hope everyone that is able makes a food or monetary donation to the pantry does so. Remember there are 60,000,000 Catholics in our country and we should start supporting each other in doing right things.

Welcome to the
Through relentless work, world-class mentors, and seed funding, at Start Co., we're doing more than building startups. We're turning startups into businesses, and founders into skilled entrepreneurs.
Through relentless work, world-class mentors, and seed funding, at Start Co., we're doing more than building startups. We're turning startups into businesses, and founders into skilled entrepreneurs.
Each summer, Start Co. hosts up to 18 startups across our core areas of focus: B2B Tech, Women-led Tech, and Social Impact Tech.
Our B2B accelerator connects B2B startups with the partners and resources they need to grow.
Our Social Impact Accelerator for IT solutions in education, poverty, crime, health care and urban innovation.
Our Women-Led Tech Accelerator provides support to gender diverse startups.
Once accepted, we'll assist you in relocating to Memphis. Then the fun starts. For the next three months, you'll work alongside elite mentors and business leaders, honing your entrepreneurial game and earning invaluable experience and insight. Seed Hatchery & Upstart founders will also get $25,000 in seed-funding to kickstart your journey.
Three months in, you'll test your newfound skills at Start Co. Demo Day, pitching your big idea and forging lasting relationships with our global network of angels, VCs, business leaders, and fellow entrepreneurs.
After Demo Day, it's back to the grindstone to focus on sales, traction, and ongoing fundraising. We'll tap our network of investors, customers, partners and alumni from across the region all the way to our San Francisco office to provide real-time training and feedback as you continue to scale.
And it doesn't end there. With access to our powerful network of mentors, partners, and alumni around the U.S., you'll continue to reap the benefits of your Start Co. experience for years to come.
While there's no shortage of talent and competition in our region, unlike the mega-markets, there's plenty of room to grow while getting vital support from the startup, business, and press communities. Start Co. is startup ground-zero in an MSA of over 1.3 million. That means top-tier investors, mentors, and media opportunities pass through our doors everyday. Which means you spend less time trying to stand out from the crowd, and more time launching and running a business.
Our technical partners — including Paypal, SendGrid, Twilio, Softlayer, AutoZone, SAP, Keen IO, Mosaik Solutions and more — provide free infrastructure and ongoing support. But what sets them apart is a truer, deeper level of engagement with Start Co. founders and teams. Our tech partners regularly roll up their sleeves to conduct office hours, offer one-on-one mentorship, and share access to whole new networks of potential partners.
If it seems weird for three accelerators to run concurrently it's because, well, it is weird. Good weird. Here, surrounded by founders with diverse backgrounds, goals, platforms, and business models, you'll begin to approach your work from new angles, finding fresh solutions to old problems and uncovering perspectives you won't find in traditional cohorts.
Affordability is a driving factor of launching a company in Memphis, with New York City and San Francisco being 2.5x and 1.9x more expensive respectively. Additionally, startups enjoy Memphis' rich history of diversity, creativity, and commerce. From food to music to business, few cities can match Memphis' historical influence, but perhaps none can match our relentless work ethic, as made notable by local corporate offices such as FedEx, Holiday Inn, Autozone and more. In a city that has moved the world in more ways than one, Start Co. startups are driven to do the same. And starting here, so can you.
"The Start Co. team and mentor network provided the resources and direction to help Graph Story move from an idea to a growing business."
"If you are serious about taking the next step in starting your business there is no better place than Start Co."

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 7, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia announced today that it will receive funding through Grand Challenges Explorations, an initiative created by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation that enables researchers worldwide to test unorthodox ideas that address persistent health and development challenges.
Terri Finkel, M.D., Ph.D., chief of Rheumatology at Children's Hospital and Professor of Pediatrics at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, will pursue an innovative global health research project, titled "Use of a BET Antagonist to Control and Cure HIV Infection."
Grand Challenges Explorations funds scientists and researchers worldwide to explore ideas that can break the mold in how we solve persistent global health and development challenges. Dr. Finkel's project is one of 110 Grand Challenges Explorations grants announced today.
"We believe in the power of innovation—that a single bold idea can pioneer solutions to our greatest health and development challenges," said Chris Wilson, Director of Global Health Discovery for the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. "Grand Challenges Explorations seeks to identify and fund these new ideas wherever they come from, allowing scientists, innovators and entrepreneurs to pursue the kinds of creative ideas and novel approaches that could help to accelerate the end of polio, cure HIV infection or improve sanitation."
Projects that are receiving funding show promise in tackling priority global health issues where solutions do not yet exist. This includes finding effective methods to eliminate or control infectious diseases such as polio and HIV as well as discovering new sanitation technologies.

when you hear congress and their media cronies come out whining about how they need to squeeze a little more money out of your pocket or they're going to have to lay off police and fire fighters, and throw old people into the snow, and let children be educated by wolves, and the roads, the roads, for God's sake WHAT ABOUT THE ROADS!!! … Keep in mind that while the whole nation teeters on the edge of that fiscal cliff, Obama and Congress just gave themselves a raise.Read more »
While the nation's eyes are affixed firmly on the future tax implications of the fiscal cliff negotiations, few people realize that they stand to pay larger tax bills in 2012 courtesy of a little something Congress could have — and should have – taken care of long ago: the exemption to the alternative minimum tax (AMT). As a reminder, the AMT is a parallel tax system that was originally designed in 1969 to guarantee that 155 wealthy, enterprising taxpayers would pay some amount of federal income tax.Read more »
Insanity abounds! An old suggestion has resurfaced that was originally made during the debt ceiling crisis in 2011. Cullen Roche, writing for the Pragmatic Capitalist, shared a suggestion sent to him by one of his readers, and the unusual idea had made it all the way to the desks of Yale law professors and court economists. Now the suggestion has resurfaced, this time from Brad Plumer, writing for the Washington Post. To solve the economic crisis all they have to do is issue two shiny new platinum coins worth … wait for it … $1 trillion dollars each!Read more »
Let's get one thing straight: America is not facing a fiscal crisis. It is, however, still very much experiencing a job crisis. In fact, of course, it's just the opposite: The danger is that the deficit will come down too much, too fast. And the reasons that might happen are purely political; we may be about to slash spending and raise taxes not because markets demand it, but because Republicans have been using blackmail as a bargaining strategy, and the president seems ready to call their bluff.Read more »

Assessing the Financial Solvency of a Managed Care Organization
by Patrick C. Alguire, MD, FACP
Director, Education and Career Development
When starting out in practice, one of the important decisions is whether to become a participating physician with a managed care organization (MCO). In previous years, the decision was easy; expert opinion favored joining as many MCOs as were available. This strategy was believed to be sound because it diminished the ability of any one MCO to control reimbursement fees and thereby put you at increased financial risk. However, in recent years, many MCOs have gone bankrupt, and the strategy of indiscriminately joining all MCOs is no longer tenable. The purpose of this article is to summarize a few easy steps that can be taken to analyze the financial health of an MCO, allowing you to make informed decisions about whether to become a participating MCO physician.
Before beginning, let us review the possible ways a bankrupt MCO can put you at financial risk. If your MCO contract stipulates a capitated reimbursement arrangement, the impact of an MCO bankruptcy on your practice will be relatively small. This is because a capitated contract pays you in advance of actually delivering service, and the withhold amount is generally small. On the other hand, if the MCO contract specifies a fee-for-service arrangement, payment withholds are generally large, and payments are made some time after the service is rendered; therefore, the financial risk of an MCO bankruptcy is greater.
How should you begin to assess the financial strength of an MCO? The first step is to obtain the annual report. Like any financial report, analyze the bottom line. Do profits exceed expenditures? By what percent, and for how many years? Is there a trend of decreasing profitability? What is the potential for growth in your community?
Next, determine the ratio of dollars allocated to administration and profit to the total premium dollars. If this ratio exceeds 20%, there may be, and usually is, a significant problem. One explanation for ratios that exceed 20% is a "top-heavy" or inefficient administrative staff. Another explanation might be too much money allocated to profit, and not enough allocated to patient services or physician reimbursement. Finally, the denominator of the ratio may be too low, representing either insufficient members, or a premium that is too low to support the offered services.
Next, look at the Medical Loss Ratio (MLR). The MLR is the percent of the premium dollar that is spent on medical care. The MLR varies inversely with the administration/profit to premium ratio; as the administration/profit ratio increases, the MLR decreases. The ideal target for the MLR is between 80% and 88%. The numerator of the MLR is affected by the actual cost of care, that is, the number of dollars per month per member that is needed to provide the promised medical care to the members. The number of members and adequacy of the premium, once again, affect the denominator. As for the administration/profit to premium ratio, an MLR that appears to be too large or too small may reflect problems in either the cost of services provided or the number of members and premium cost.
Take the time to compare the MCO premiums with other organizations. Do they seem in line, too high, or too low? Analysis of the MLR, the ratio of administration/profits to premium ratio, and relative premium cost per member can often pinpoint whether a MCO is in financial trouble and suggest the nature of the difficulty.
The obvious take-home message is to avoid participating with MCOs that are fiscally unsound. This financial analysis exercise should be repeated annually, and you should exercise your right to decline continued participation with an MCO that is showing signs of financial weakness.

CLEARWATER, Florida (AP) - Tourism officials in the Tampa Bay area this year's spring break appears to be "setting records."
The Tampa Bay Times reported Thursday that all signs point to success. Traffic jams. Packed beaches. No vacancies at area hotels.
David Downing, the deputy director of Visit St. Petersburg/Clearwater, says the final statistics won't be in for a few months. But he says the clues are hard to miss.
Downing cited a number of reasons for the uptick in spring break activity, including marketing campaigns. There has also been a lot of interest in events like the Honda Grand Prix races in St. Petersburg and the "Spring Breakers" movie being filmed in the area.
The mild weather hasn't hurt either. Downing calls it a "string of very, very good luck.

Recently at a Christmas gift bazaar, I stumbled across the most amazing treat: hot cocoa on a stick! The lady who'd made them said they're one of her best sellers, because most people think it's too much trouble to make them even though she thinks they're quite easy.
Well, I'm not most people: I badgered her until she told me where she got the recipe, then raced to the grocery store. Thanks to the wonders of my smartphone, I was able to pick up everything I needed to make Hot Cocoa on a Stick that very day… along with the homemade marshmallow recipe my family loves.
Honestly, these are a walk in the park if you've made candy before. If you haven't, well, get yourself a good candy thermometer and prepare to WOW your friends. Unlike many of my recipes, I'm providing step-by-step photos so you can see how it's done.
How To Make Hot Cocoa On A Stick
The lady at the Christmas Bazaar pointed me to King Arthur Flour's recipe for Cocoa Blocks, so that's what I used. It makes for a dark, dense confection that could almost pass for fudge. In fact, I had to assure my husband and son several times it was NOT fudge… and then make them fudge because they were so disappointed. The KA recipe makes enough for 3 dozen Hot Cocoa on a Stick servings.
Add your cream and sweetened condensed milk to a medium sauce pan. Don't skimp on this: we want heavy cream and full-fat condensed milk. Combine the two and gently heat it over medium heat, stirring frequently until it begins slightly steaming.
The candy thermometer actually isn't necessary for this recipe. I have no idea why I stuck it in there. Come to think of it, I think it belongs with the marshmallow recipe, but the cute little Christmas ornament with the number on it doesn't match the others there… and that would drive me nuts. So, anyway, all you need to do is slowly heat the cream and condensed milk until it's starting to steam.
Meanwhile, combine your chocolate chips and chunks of unsweetened baking chocolate in a bowl. Very important although I don't show it, now is a good time to butter a piece of aluminum foil and line an 8×8 inch pan.
Once the milk mixture has started to steam, remove it from the heat and dump in the chocolate. Let it sit for a few minutes while you do something else (like coax your kid out of having a meltdown over his science project), then whisk the chocolate into the milk.
Keep whisking until it looks so ooey and gooey that you're tempted to stick your finger into the hot mess to taste it. Resist that temptation. It hurts. (Guess how I know that?)
Spread the chocolate in the foil-lined prepared pan using a buttered spatula, and set it aside overnight.
Once the chocolate is set, it will have a fudge-like consistency. It will also have a dark chocolate fudge taste (go on, ask how I know). Using a buttered knife or pizza cutter, slice the fudge into 1×1-inch squares. Transfer them to a plastic bag and sprinkle on a little cocoa powder. Close the bag and gently turn it repeatedly to coat every edge of the cocoa chunks.
At this point, you can put them on a stick or put them in a pretty container and use them to make cocoa: just add 1 square to 1 cup of hot milk (water won't work). Stir until the cocoa square is fully dissolved and enjoy.
Or…go one step further like I did, and make Homemade Marshmallows. If you've never tried the homemade kind, you MUST! They're infinitely fluffier, more tender, and more delicious than the store bought stuff, plus you can flavor them if you like! (I give variations in the recipe, below.)
How To Make Homemade Marshmallows Recipe
Last year was my first-ever attempt at making homemade marshmallows, so I followed a highly-rated recipe over at Food.com. It was good, but I felt there were some instructions lacking, and this year I wanted to make different flavors of marshmallows. Although I didn't take photos of my other batches, I'm including the variations in the recipe below.
Pour 1/2 cup of the water into the bowl of your stand mixer and sprinkle it with three (3) packets of unflavored gelatine. Let that sit 5-10 minutes to soften.
Meanwhile, butter a 9×13-inch baking dish. In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup confectioner's sugar (also known as powdered sugar or icing sugar) and 1/4 cup cornstarch. Sprinkle half of this over the bottom and sides of the buttered dish, tapping and tilting the dish so it spreads everywhere.
Now, in a small sauce pan, combine the rest of the water, sugar, corn syrup and salt over medium heat. (Add the scraped vanilla beans if you're using them.) Unfortunately, I'm missing a photo here… or maybe it's photo 2 from the recipe above? At any rate, don't let the tip of the thermometer touch the bottom of the pan. Don't bother stirring: just watch and wait as the mixture slowly reaches 240° F. As soon as it does, take the pan off heat.
This part gets a little tricky: you want to turn the stand mixer onto low and drizzle the sugar syrup mixture into the gelatine by slowly pouring it down the side of the bowl. Do NOT add it all at once or you'll make a horrible, icky mess and most likely burn yourself, too. Or so I've heard.
Once you've got the syrup mixture blended in, then increase the mixer speed to High and let it go for around 15 minutes. Yes, that sounds like a long time, but this step is both cooling and fluffing the mixture for you, turning it from syrup into the cloud-like spongy goodness. In the very final moment, add vanilla or peppermint extract and food coloring, if you're using it.
What you've got now looks like marshmallow fluff — which, by the way, is exactly what it is at this point… so feel free to put that stuff in a jar and hoard it for yourself if you want! Or, spread it in your prepared pan using a buttered spatula.
Let the mixture sit for several minutes, then sprinkle more of the cornstarch-confectioner sugar mixture over the top. (Reserve the rest.) Leave the marshmallows to sit uncovered overnight before loosening the edges of the goop and turning it onto a cutting board. Cut into 1×1-inch squares with scissors or a sharp pizza cutter, or dip metal cookie cutters into the reserved cornstarch-confectioner's sugar mixture and cut out pretty pieces. (Me? I was tired. I went for cubes.) This will make roughly 8 dozen marshmallows.
To assemble the Hot Cocoa on a Stick, stack one or two marshmallows on top of a cocoa block and push a cake pop stick through them. Put them in cello bags or in a pretty treat box. Cocoa blocks will stay good on the counter 2-3 days, and in the fridge up to 2 weeks. Homemade marshmallows stay fresh in an air-tight container almost indefinitely!
- 1 cup cold water, divided
- 3 packets unflavored gelatine (2½ tbsp.)
- 1½ cups granulated white sugar
- 1 cup light corn syrup
- ¼ tsp. sea salt
- 2 tsp. vanilla OR peppermint extract
- 1 vanilla bean, split vertically (optional)
- Natural red food coloring (if using peppermint flavoring)
- ¼ cup confectioner's sugar
- ¼ cup cornstarch
- Pour ½ cup of cold water in the bowl of your stand mixture. Sprinkle the gelatine over it and allow it to soften.
- Combine cornstarch and confectioner's sugar in a small bowl.
- Butter a 9x13-inch baking dish. Sprinkle the inside with ½ of the cornstarch-sugar mixture. Tilt the pan and tap to distribute the powder all around the inside of the dish.
- In a small sauce pan over medium heat combine the remaining ½ cup water, corn syrup and salt. (Add contents of the scraped vanilla beans if you're using them.) Insert a candy thermometer but do not allow the tip to touch the bottom of the pan.
- Heat the corn syrup mixture to 240° F, then immediately remove it from the heat.
- Start the stand mixture on low and drizzle the syrup mixture down the inside of the bowl slowly. Once the syrup is completely added, turn the mixer speed to high and allow it to whip the marshmallow fluff for 15 minutes.
- During the final minute of mixing, add the vanilla or peppermint extract and food coloring (if you're using it).
- Spread the marshmallow fluff in the prepared baking dish using a buttered spatula. Allow it to sit for a few minutes, then sprinkle on half of the remaining cornstarch-sugar mixture.
- Leave the marshmallows to set overnight, uncovered.
- Loosen the marshmallows from the side of the pan using a knife, then turn it onto a cutting board. Cut using scissors or a sharp pizza wheel, or use metal cookie cutters dipped in the remaining cornstarch mixture.

35,000 votes still out
11.09.11 - 3:15 pm | Tim Redmond |
The Department of Elections says there are about 34,500 ballots still to be counted -- 27,000 election-day absentees and 7,500 provisionals. That would be about one sixth of the total votes. Not enough to make a huge difference, but if they break the way the election-day votes did, the mayor's race will get tighter (although probably not enough to make a difference) and Ross Mirkarimi will pull further away in the sheriff's race. The only other difference: Prop. H may wind up losing -- not that it matters, since it's only a policy statement anyway and the school board is not about to change a system it developed over two years of public hearings.

T-Mobile Workers Blog: Top 10 Reasons that T-Mobile lost the JD Power Award
This is a great essay from a T-Mobile Customer Care worker about the real reasons, why T-Mobile lost the JD Power Award. Agree? Disagree? Join the discussion: http://forum.tuworkers.org. Contact us if you want to contribute to our T-Mobile workers blog.
In a team meeting we were told, "frankly, YOU are the reason we lost JD Powers, YOU are just not nice to customers anymore". I was in a state of disbelief that as a front line employee with virtually NO INPUT as to how the company is run, I was being told it was my fault! I went home and slept on it and came up with the following 10 Reasons that T-Mobile Lost JD Powers.
10) Continuous reductions in call time.... Get those customers off the phone and do it FAST! Five minutes or less!
9) More outsourcing! Philippines, India, South Africa, Guadalajara, we don't care just as long as they will work for less than 'good ole American employees'.
8) Required Data can now NOT be removed with purchase of a phone first. (I actually like this but we played our hand all wrong.) First it can, now it can't....make up your mind! We should have NEVER been removing the required data for phone first purchases right after an upgrade to a data device.
7) Shortened time until the customer is LADEXed! Is it my imagination or is everyone getting LADEXed in HALF the time that it previously took?
6) Speaking of LADEX..... it's NOT FREE anymore and we're NOT going to notify you of the change! It's $20 per line!
5) Oh speaking of changing the rules, we changed your due date while we were at it and didn't bother to tell you about that either! Oh one other thing, ANY change to your minute plan will cost you another 2 year contact, baby!
4) Longer hold time when calling in to customer service is NOT your imagination. We are reducing employee levels by firing them and making it unbearable for them to work for TMobile. Please hold for the next available agent...........
3) Call "deflection" software. (I actually read about this on the FLUSH FACTS, the toilet stall information postings in our center. I kid you not!) Are you a 'problem customer'? Do you call us repeatedly? Have you done one exchange too many? If so we have your number and guess what? We're NOT going to answer it! Yep, that's right you will be routed into a que where you will hold and hold and hold! Finally, you will tire of that, hang up and call from another phone where your call will be answered immediately and you will figure out our little customer con game. We are told to say things like, "gee, I'm sorry you had to wait" <wink, wink> "it's been very busy today" <wink, wink> "calls get routed to the next available rep and call volumes vary throughout the day" <insert more winking here>. Call deflected!
2) Lack of professionalism when customers call in and hear loud background noises such as supervisors micro managing our calls blurting out, "6 minutes rap it up", "what's taking so long", "sound confidant and make that sale", and furthermore, loud music from iPods playing in the background makes it sound like we're having a party!

Volunteers Make It Possible
Two-thirds of the women who are today's leaders in government, business, education, medicine, science, and in their communities were once Girl Scouts. But two-thirds of too few is not enough.
An investment in Girl Scouts is broader than a cause or a cure. It's a commitment to a generation. Our volunteers are changing the world by supporting the young women who will change it.
If you have the time, join our more than 8,000 volunteers. You'll be amazed at what girls can achieve for themselves and for your community. If you have a passion, share it with a group of Girl Scouts. Girls are more inspired by role models than school subjects.
Today's Girl Scouts are the children of a new century. With your help, it will be their century.
What is the change you want to see in the world?
Imagine what an entire generation of girls will do, given the confidence, the skills, and the experience they need to lead.
To find out more about volunteer opportunities with Girl Scouts of Greater South Texas, complete the online interest form and start your rewarding experience today.
Feel inspired to volunteer?
Everyone who volunteers with Girl Scouts of Greater South Texas must fill out a Volunteer Application-Background Check.

input would be great, need temp settings on my coolers
I have aftermarket coolers on my aftermarket filters I installed. they all have fans but none came with temp relays, its seems it would work better to have them installed to it does not come on only with the up switch. Im running, external coolant , oil, trans coolers.
I need to find the normal operating temp of the coolant, oil, trans and what should be the operating range of the fans.
1. coolant on at 190 and off at 180. my truck runs at 200 - 201 ? good or no on the settings?
2. oil temp ? on - off?
3. trans? on - off?
one more question, would it be ok to put in lower temp stats in the truck? is that a good idea or recommended for diesel trucks? if so where do I get them.
Im not aware of different thermostats (temp wise) for these trucks. My truck unloaded runs 190-192 coolant and 194-198 oil. Trans usually gets around 170 IIRC
trans oil operates best at 170*.. there is an internal thermostaticaly controlled vlave that opens at 165* and sips cooler oil, in attempt to keep it around that temperature.. of course, when you work it by towing or hauling, you're going to go over that- and at what point that valve stays open and you bring the full force of the heat exchanges into the mix.. if it is circulating @ 100%, and you're above 220* on that transmission oil, you've got a problem somewhere causing it..
running an external filter and heat exchange for the coolant is a good notion.. aim for a temperature within 10* above the thermostats rating.. I don't want to sound like a prick, but the factors that determine your operational temperature are these, and these alone : volume of coolant, size and design of exchange surface, flow of air through the exchange, flow of fluids through the closed system, and thermostats.. you adding a small heat exchange, even fan driven, isn't going to do a whole lot to cooling the coolant... a plate style exchange (not a tube and fin) will cool the most as it reduces the volume and flow long enough for some cooling to actually take place- but to install it into a system like what we have, it would have to be a big one because of issues with pressures and possibly creating an obstruction... all that said: if you want to lever that cooler for it's best function, turn it on a few degrees before the rated 'stat's temperature.. so you can get a little bit of a head start on it.. but, don't expect it to account for much reduction when you're under load..
I'm watching this thread, and I appreciate you posting it up.. I've had great success with electric fans in the past, and will consider them on this rig, too.. as in, discard clutch fans and go all electric. there is a controller out there called a Dakota, that can be programmed to operate several different channels for either stacking two (or even three) fans on one exchange that each fire up at different temps, or you can operate different fans for different exchanges as yo see fit.. I'd love to have a 7kCFM rigged as a pusher on the front of the truck that can be toggled on either by upfitter or automatically, which woulds keep the coolant around 190~195 no matter the situation..
oh, one more thing, fwiw: all those temperatures are related.. the trans oil exchanges through the radiator which is controlled by the engines stat(s).. the oil is cooled via coolant charged oil cooler, which is related to the coolants ability to exchange heat... if you can control your coolants temperature under any circumstance related to engine load, and at around the stat's rated temperature, and via a boss of an electric fan (I'm thinking 5kCFM at a minimum, w/ 7kCFM being optimum) ALL of these fluid temperatures will be a mitigated and managed concern, and all you'll have to worry about is filters..
thanks for your response , very insightful , i know they are not doing much but i can feel the heat getting stripped away, any heat leaving imo is good, also the lines were already running and all i had to do was put a cooler in, so it was a win win situation, any chance on lower stat for the coolant?
i don't know about a cooler rated 'stat, but an old 'rodder trick is to drill passages through the plate on ones that are available... it also serves purpose to allow quicker burps of the cooling system..
basic concept is to allow circulation of cool fluid no matter the positon of the plate, which keeps more cool fluid moving through more often that the 'stat can't regulate completely.
if you go this route, make certain and drill and file out any debris before installing it..
something else to keep in mind, to: hard parts of engines are made with an alloy of (insert fancy metalergical name here) , that protects the part for a long long time.. it is expected to operate within a certain range, though.. colder than expected, the coating actually wears and the part will prematurely fail.. not good.. hotter (within reason) is better for those hard parts.. also, the engine is designed to operate within a certain range- operating within that range will net better performance and economy.. you can custom tune that out of an engine by altering injection, but that is an expensive prospect..
It's just my opinion, and for whatever it's worth- you (an me, I plan on addressing this too), will be best served by figuring out how to maintain a tight hysteresis of temperatures.. like, a two degree window no matter the conditions.. if we can do that, we win- and our engines will last longer and operate cleaner.
I did some looking into this, " DO NOT CHANGE TO ALOWER STAT" this will make the engine fail sooner that later. 10x as quick depending on how cold you run it.

This was great - didn't last long in our house! Very sweet, so cut your pieces small! I found that the tastes blended better after it had been in the fridge longer (we had late-night seconds, which tasted better than the slices at dinner) I took the advice of another poster and put a circle on parchment paper on the bottom of my pie pan and so it was easy to get the pie out. Looks gorgeous when done!flag if inappropriate
The minister and wife just loved this pie. I followed the recipe to the letter.flag if inappropriate
I loved this pie! Absolutely fabulous. So many compliments! I was genuinely surprised. I luckily had most of the ingredients in my pantry, so no trip to the store was needed! I did use vanilla butter cookies instead of chocolate wafers, and also a few graham crackers. I also used frozen raspberries. I didn't have creme fraiche, so I used a combination of eggnog and sugar. I did refrigerate for more than two hours, though, closer to three, and the texture of the filling was like yogurt. Could not call it pie. Next time I will freeze it.flag if inappropriate
Great dessert. Tasty. Lots of complements. Very easy. Substituted chocolate chocolate chip cookies for the wafers and 2 oz of unsweetened baking choc for the chips.flag if inappropriate
I enjoyed this pie. It was very rich but wonderful during the summer time following some grilling.flag if inappropriate
Despite all the not-so-stellar reviews, went ahead and made it. I rate it 2 and a half forks (not quite 3). I enjoyed eating it, it was perfect for the event I was serving it at, but I don't think it was that special. Given all the comments in these reviews, I made the following changes: used oreas (some without the filling) for the crust; omitted the sugar; used 1/2 cup creme fraiche; used 2/3 of the can of sweetened condensed milk. The result? It was the perfect blend of sweetness and tartness, it cut through with a little effort, and the filling held up even though it wasn't as solid as, for example, a cheesecake.flag if inappropriate
I made this for a dinner party and it was a big hit! The only change I made was a little less sugar for the crust. The filling thickened fine, the flavors were great, the whole thing was delicious. and it held up nicely for leftoversflag if inappropriate
This was EXCELLENT. The only thing I added were about 5 oreos to the crust. It came out perfect...served at a party and EVERYONE loved it...even non dessert eaters! It's so easy to make I made it for work too! I would definately make this again1flag if inappropriate
Taking a tip from all the previous reviews, I changed this recipe in the following ways: 1. Softened 1 packet of gelatin in the 1/4 cup of lemon juice; 2. I used 1 cup of heavy cream and 3/4 cup of the sweetened condensed milk; 3. Added 1/2 tsp of almond extract; 4. Used a 12-oz. bag of frozen raspberries. When the first three ingredients were all whipped together with my immersion blender, I tossed in a 12-oz. package of frozen raspberries. Because the raspberries were frozen, they chilled the mixture instantly, and it set up well. I poured the raspberry filling into a purchased oreo cookie pie crust, and put the pie in the fridge. I believe the cloying taste of the sweetened condensed milk was obliterated by using only 3/4 of a cup, plus the addition of the almond extract, heavy cream, and the entire 12-oz. bag of frozen raspberries. The pie filling tasted great, and I can't wait until it really firms up, so we can have it for dessert.flag if inappropriate
This was horrible and a waste of money on ingredients. It was so sweet, we ended up tossing the entire thing. If I had it to do over, I would use unsweetened condensed milk and less butter to the crust so it would not stick like wax to the pie pan. A far nicer medium is cream cheese and whipping cream for this type of pie/torte.flag if inappropriate

Summer is here, and the sun is out. It's time to get out of the house and enjoy the weather. However, with gas prices these days, how are we supposed to have fun this summer without going broke? Here are 8 ways I'm planning on having fun for less this summer.
Photo by Creativity+ Timothy K Hamilton
- Find free films, concerts, and events. Check your local paper or search the Web for free film festivals, concerts, and other events in your area. There should be plenty of these going on throughout the summer. With the 4th of July a few days away, keep an eye out for free fireworks shows around your area.
- Spend a day at the beach. As far as I can remember, I haven't gone through a summer without making at least one trip to the beach. If you don't live close to a beach, spend a day at the nearest lake or pool. The point is to get outside and enjoy the summer weather. In fact, I spent this past Sunday at the beach with some friends, and it was awesome.
- Throw a backyard barbeque. By backyard, I mean anywhere outdoors — backyard, park, campground, beach, etc. Fire up the grill and enjoy some food. Avoid spending a fortune by having each person bring part of the meal. Of course, you should talk beforehand to make sure you don't end up with 100 hot dogs, no buns, and a bucket of potato salad.
- Go hiking. Yet another free outdoor activity to enjoy this summer. The best part about hiking is that there's such a wide range of hiking trails that you can find one suitable for everybody. Find a local park for a more laid back hike, or if you're feeling adventurous, try taking on a mountain. A couple months ago, I went on a 15 mile hike up and down a mountain, and it was great.
- Browse the local farmers market. Fresh produce, fresh flowers, fresh food. What more could you ask for? How about free samples at some of the stands? Even better.
- Learn a new skill. Have you been meaning to learn how to play guitar? Or maybe you've been wanting to learn how to knit? Whatever it is, the summer is a great time to pick up a new hobby.
- Explore your city. It's amazing how many places there are in our own hometown that we haven't explored. I always laugh when I visit someone, and they haven't even been to the major attractions in their city. Oh wait, that would be me. Take some time this summer to explore your city.
- Talk to friends and family. Never underestimate the power of word of mouth. There's a good chance that you'll find out that someone has a connection or maybe some extra tickets. It doesn't get much better than getting to go to something for free or at least a discounted price. I've been to plenty of baseball games over the years without having to pay for tickets most of the time.

The Discombobulated Self: Mix it up & Get Clarity.
Have you ever felt discombobulated?
You know what I mean. When your world feels like it's turned upside down and inside out all topsy turvy, really messy.
Generally, we struggle to hold our lives together. The thing is if we don't let our hair down, and let it get messy, we end up feeling really out of sorts. The only way to get to clarity is by rolling in the muck and facing the mess head on.
The path of living from your true heart is not for the faint of heart.
So now what? Your hair is down, you're still in your pajamas, no make-up, and the kids are wondering is mom going crazy? Why is she running in circles? Why is she in a puddle on the floor? What's wrong or right with this picture?
To begin with, there's nothing wrong. On the contrary, it's perfect. When you are willing to truly honor your feelings (without a story) whatever they may be, this is the first, most powerful step to liberating your true heart.
As a mom of six and a spiritual guide/healer, I can say with authority that going to yoga class, meditating, and letting my family know I am taking time for myself to connect with my heart and body rather than theirs is a really healthy thing to do for the entire family.
Perhaps you are ready for a deeper experience of self care and spiritual exploration. Perhaps you have been playing small, hiding the powerful person you are while waiting for the kids to grow up. Is this really how you want to live? Someday they too will be taking care of others and will need to have time for themselves. Where will they be if their role models were doing, doing, doing for others without paying attention to their own peace of mind?
Are you ready to stop hiding and get clear about your life? Into the kitchen we go!
Let's Alchemize! In Grace's Kitchen you have the opportunity to create a delectable life. Ingredients include:
Feelings: The ones you dread and the ones you love.
Breath: Long, deep, slow breaths to connect you inside.
Commitment: Take necessary actions to move through your mess.
Success: In life's arenas that matter most to you!
Step 1: How do you want to feel?
Emotionally, physically, mentally, spiritually? Make a list of your top favorite feelings in each category. Breathe into the heart. What feelings make your heart swoon, come alive, feel expansive?
How about your body? Breathe into feelings that make your body feel alive, free, energized, relaxed. Listen and pay attention to what is present.
Your Mind? What feelings make your mind feel clarity, inspiration, creativity? Don't stuff your true feelings. Breathe into an expansive mind.
What about your spirituality? What feelings elicit a deep recognition of spirit, God, higher consciousness, awareness, etc.? Enjoy this time of exploration and creativity.
Step 2: List activities or non-activities eliciting these feelings for each category.
Is there anyone you enjoy sharing these activities with? Or would you rather do them alone?
Step 3: Call to Action
Bottom line, if you know the answers but don't take an action, your knowledge is useless. So start engaging in activities & connecting with people consistent with the inner knowing/feeling in your gut. Try this exercise for 1 week.
I call this process: Alchemy of Spirit. The definition of Alchemy is a power or process of transforming something common into something divine. Are you ready to create a life from your divine essence?
There is no time like the present to take action. You may just be moments away from your divine essence rather than years. Either way it doesn't matter. When you take sacred time and space for yourself, everybody wins.

Turtleman launches 'Full Dem Belly'
Turtleman - Contributed
Jamaican reggae singer Turtleman returned to the island recently to launch and promote his second album, 'Full Dem Belly'.
The album features tracks such as Woman, Poor And Needy and Sugar Lady, some of which have been getting airplay on local radio. This is his second album, released almost 10 years after his debut, Prosperity, which was released in 2004.
"The feedback has been encouraging so far, and I plan to shoot a video soon," Turtleman, whose real name is Conrad Barham, said.
He has performed throughout Europe and America, and in Latin America.
"I recently performed at a show in Mexico, a reggae show alongside Mexican reggae artistes, white rappers and reggae performers from other countries. It shows how powerful reggae is. I have done club shows in Frankfurt and Dusseldorf, and in Amsterdam, and also shows in LA at the House of Blues, the Key Club and in Hollywood Park," he said.
Turtleman grew up in Hannah Town in Kingston, before he was sent to live with his grandmother in Negril, Westmoreland. He attended Negril All Age where he was nicknamed 'Turtleman' because as a teenager, he would catch turtles and sell them to make an extra income.
"The name just kinda stuck to me because I was 15 at the time, and hustling and selling turtles was my little business at the time, so when I began to do music, everybody knew me as Turtleman so I just used the name,"he said.
He got involved in music when he made contact with Youthman Promotions during the time of their stint in Negril.
"At the time, my idols were Ninja Man, Yellowman and Charlie Chaplin. At the time, I was a Kingstonian living in Negril and the parents used to tell their children not to play with me because of my Kingston connection, so music was an escape for me," he said.
In the early 90s, he began to carve out a great reputation in Negril. He revealed that he had onstage clashes with Beenie Man and Merciless in the early days of their careers.
"Mi clash with Beenie Man three times in Orange Hill, Good Hope and Negril, mi even clash with Merciless and kill him," he said, laughing.
He migrated to the United States in 1999, but never severed his links with the island, or his music. He has branched out his interests into acting, landing bit parts in films such as Bringing Down the House, and Hollywood Homicide with Master P.
"I recently had a scene as a homeless man in CSI Las Vegas, and I made a cameo in Taylor Swift's Diet Coke ad," he said.
Turtleman has been featured on tracks with numerous American artistes. You can find Turtleman's music on iTunes, Amazon, Xbox and CDBaby. His music videos can be found at youtube.com/turtlemantv
