GG, we have on and off wet weather. I try to keep them out of the mud(moreso to not rip their paddock up) so rather than standing in water puddles and mud, they go out a day or so after the rain so it's a drier mud. This mud is great for shedding off excess sole as it really packs into their feet and isn't so wet and gooey. This is the same protocol I follow in the summer with stalling them after a big rain, so their frog condition isn't really due to a lot of rain or such.

Prequalified Solutions Target Pharma Transport
Five-day trips can use Kodiak's shipper.
Providers of transport packaging solutions are introducing new offerings with the pharmaceutical industry in mind. Aware of the need to protect these temperature-sensitive formulations, these companies are prequalifying systems to help you get started on your own evaluations.
AcuTemp Thermal Systems (Dayton, OH) has released a temperature-management cargo unit for ground transportation. The AcuTemp AX2100LG allows users to ship pallet-size loads of pharmaceuticals, bio-medical products, medical equipment, electronics, and other temperature-sensitive cargo over the road. Active temperature-management technology employs high-efficiency refrigeration and heating systems coupled with the company's proprietary ThermoCor high-performance insulation. The AX2100LG is engineered to provide precise temperature control between 4°C (39.2°F) and 25°C (77°F) using either ac or battery power. It can maintain a user-selected internal temperature for more than 100 hours using battery power alone. A data-logging system can help users verify that cargo was maintained at required temperatures during transit. Monitored are internal temperature, ambient temperature, battery state, door openings, and power mode changes (from ac to battery). All reporting data is easily downloadable via electronic serial communication. The AcuTemp AX2100LG accepts standard GMA pallets in any orientation and is equipped with a base that can be lifted by forklift.
Vince Reidy, vice president of sales and marketing, says that the firm has "seen particular interest in the AX2100LG from companies utilizing a closed-looped shipping scenario for transporting temperature-sensitive goods used in manufacturing, drug development, and clinical trial applications. Because the AX2100LG is a self-contained temperature-controlled unit, it does not require using a dedicated refrigerated truck for less than truck load shipments," says Reidy. "Additionally, since the unit is equipped with sophisticated compressor technology and does not utilize dry ice for cooling, the costs and hazards associated with handling dry ice are eliminated."
In related news, AcuTemp Thermal Systems and its partner AmSafe Bridport will market a companion thermal pallet unit, the AcuTemp AX2100L, to the air cargo industry later this year. FAA certification of the AcuTemp AX2100L is currently underway.
AcuTemp has also announced that IBC Equipment & Supplies (Greenford, Middlesex, United Kingdom), has joined the company's network of global distribution partners. IBC Equipment and Supplies will market AcuTemp's suite of passive and active temperature controlled containers to the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, public health and healthcare markets in Asia and the Middle East.
Kodiak Thermal Technologies Inc. (Houston) has developed new versions of its R11TC and R36 containers for cold-chain shipping.
The new 36-liter R36C uses an industry-standard ATA (Air Transport Association) fabricated exterior to offer an even longer life. The ATA R36C can accurately hold temperatures for refrigerated shipments between 2° and 8°C with an average ambient of 25°C for more than 5 days. Donald Pagel, president and CEO, says, "This new design significantly improves the longevity of use of the customers' investment as well gives unparalleled physical protection for valuable payloads. This unit was designed specifically with the logistics company in mind that can now offer these robust capabilities to their customers."
The new 11-liter R11TC container uses the same rugged ATA fabricated exterior like its big brother ATAR36C. The R11TC can also hold temperatures for refrigerated shipments between 2° and 8°C with an average ambient of 25°C for more than 5 days.
"This new design is lighter and more thermally efficient than its predecessor," says Pagel. "The primary difference is that the TRU (Thermal Regulating Unit) now slips down inside the container, increasing the thermal efficiency while decreasing the charge time needed for the next shipment. Additionally, the position of the container during shipment is of little consequence now."
The AcuTemp AX2100LG accepts standard GMA pallets in any orientation and is equipped with a base that can be lifted by forklift.
The units have been tested against upper and lower extremes as well as winter and summer prequalified profiles. Both have an Escort onboard data logger to monitor internal and ambient temperatures with a digital readout as well as data download abilities. Temperature regulation is accomplished using Kodiak's patented Thermal Switch and Thermal Shield technologies, which do not require any gel packs in the payload area. A frozen version is also close to release.
Reusable watertight cases from Pelican Products (Torrance, CA) employ an open-cell core and solid-wall construction for durability. An automatic pressure-equalization valve protects contents during air or high-altitude shipping. According to the company, reusable containers result in lower per-trip costs than do disposable containers. "Companies not only save money by not having to replace expendable packaging, but also reduce non-value-added labor costs, as there is no longer a need to set up and break down packaging," the firm reports.
Envirotainer (Stockholm) has signed an agreement with Continental Airlines Cargo to increase use of Envirotainer's active temperature-controlled air cargo containers for customers using Continental Airlines Cargo's ClimateSecure service. ClimateSecure provides a door-to-door cool chain for up to 72 hours or longer when dry ice and batteries are replenished in transit. The service is designed for customers shipping high-value and sensitive goods including pharmaceuticals and other perishables.
"Our new agreement with Envirotainer demonstrates Continental Cargo's commitment to expand our position as the only U.S. airline with a comprehensive temperature-controlled shipping program," says Mark Mohr, Continental Cargo's manager of product development and specialty sales. The airline says using these advanced unit-load devices provides its customers with a "superior alternative to traditional cooling means such as foam, gel packs, or insulating blankets, which add expense to shipments and waste space."
As part of the agreement, Continental Airlines will participate in Envirotainer's training program with the goal to become a QEP-CEP (Qualified/Certified Envirotainer Partner) accredited airline. The program was developed in consultation with the pharmaceutical industry to identify service providers capable of using the Envirotainer solution to ensure the integrity of temperature-sensitive shipments. Continental will start training in Newark, NJ, and in Houston, followed by locations in Western Europe.
Martin Peter, vice president, sales, for Envirotainer, says: "This is an important milestone for Envirotainer. Rolling out the product within Continental Airlines alongside with the QEP-CEP program will help to grow the business at a high quality."
Cold Chain Technologies (Holliston, MA) has partnered with Topa Verpakking B.V. (The Netherlands), a provider of cold-chain solutions throughout Europe. Topa Verpakking will supply KoolTemp containers (EPS, PUR) and Koolit refrigerants (bricks, gels, mats) to the European market. Working together, the labs of these firms will provide equivalent design and qualification testing on both sides of the Atlantic. Robert Willemse, Manager of Thermal Packaging and Special Projects, of Topa. "Thanks to our collaboration, we can exchange scientific knowledge and innovate in thermal packaging concepts. For our customers, this means that they can get client-specific, optimal, fully compliant insulated packaging that meets the applicable specifications, at any time and anywhere in the world. Reproducibility is the keyword for the USA, Europe and Asian markets."
TCP Reliable has qualified its TimeSaver96 PUR under ISTA 7D Performance Test Procedures as a 96-hour prequalified shipper. Offering low heat conductivity, the system is designed to be rugged and lightweight. The corrugate components can be easily replaced for reuse. Featuring the same packaging configuration for both winter and summer cycles, the system eases packout and inventory. Each shipper has an inner box for housing payloads up to 0.07 cu ft. The overall dimensions of the TimeSaver96 PUR are 16.25 x 18.5 x 20.25 in. Included with the prequalified shipper are Phase 5 thermal-control panels and a certificate of qualification.
Four new Medical Transporter totes are available from ThermoSafe Brands (Arlington Heights, IL), a division of Tegrant Corp. Model 930 is a durable unit insulated with stain- and impact-resistant expanded polypropylene for storing and transporting blood, sensitive specimens, medications, and organs. The lightweight container features wheels and an adjustable handle for mobility and disposable plastic liners to ease clean up. It is qualified by ISC Labs for the temporary storage and transport of packed red blood cells using Polar Pack refrigerants. Coming soon is Model 960.
ThermoSafe Medical Transporter models 931 and 932 nonqualified nylon totes are designed for specimen and sample transport. Both units include rigid removable liners for easy clean up and added durability. The exterior is constructed of washable, weather- resistant nylon with an adjustable carrying strap and is printed with the standard biohazard symbol. The totes are insulated with high-density polyethylene foam.

November 30, 2015
RICHMOND, Ky. – Eastern Kentucky University football head coach Danny Hope has joined the Purdue University football staff as associate head coach, it was announced today. Hope, who served as an assistant coach at Purdue from 1997-01, will be the next head coach at Purdue when current head coach Joe Tiller steps down after the 2008 season.
Hope took over as EKU's head coach in 2003. In five years at the helm of his alma mater's football program, the Colonels went 35-22 (.614). This past fall, Eastern went 9-3 overall and 8-0 in Ohio Valley Conference play on its way to the program's 19th conference title. The 2007 Colonels clinched the program's first NCAA Division I FCS playoff appearance in 10 years helping Hope earn OVC and AFCA Regional Coach of the Year accolades.
Eastern Kentucky University officials have begun the search for a new head football coach.

WILKES-BARRE, Pa.—A parole board has again denied parole for a northeastern Pennsylvania woman who pleaded guilty in the poisoning death of her husband two decades ago.
The (Wilkes-Barre) Citizens' Voice ( http://bit.ly/1h2OONg) reports that the state Board of Probation and Parole decided Tuesday that 50-year-old Joann Curley poses a risk to the community, minimizes her crime and lacks remorse.
Curley pleaded guilty in 1996 to third-degree murder in the 1991 death of 32-year-old Robert Curley. Prosecutors said she mixed rat poison into his iced tea.
The denial comes two months after the victim's relatives were able to address the board for the first time because of a new state law instead of just writing letters.
Curley can seek parole again in 2014. Her 10- to 20-year sentence expires in December 2016.

Mat handling
Website is under reconstruction and will be published soon.
In the mean time you can see videos of some of our products following the link: Videos on youtube
Come back for news
We have produced a speial program for handling mats. Our philosophy is that mats must be rolled after they have been washed. Therefore we have developed a mat rolling machine in cooperation with skilled mat laundries and mat manufactures. The result is a machine that rolles mats as the leading mat manufactures states mats must be rolled and a machine that easy to use and saves the staff in a mat laundry from the burden of handling and rolling mats by hand. Furthermore the machine increases the productivity and the staff can roll mats more that 5 times as fast that it is possible to roll by hand.

Today's Commentary: Memo To The Governor RE: State Overspending
by Jon Fleischman - Publisher (bio) (email)(print)
To: Governor Schwarzenegger at the State Capitol
From: Jon over at the FlashReport
RE: Massive Democrat-Created State Deficit
Governor, there is no doubt that the liberal Democrats who largely control the budget process have taken California down a path of severe over-spending. As we all know, state spending has massively out-paced state tax revenues, increasing a staggering $25 billion since 2003.
Out of the gate this year, you correctly identified this problem for what it is, too much red ink. Too much overspending. You made it clear that California families, taxpayers, would not be saddled with higher taxes in order to address this chronic overspending issue. You rightly introduces a budget that represents a 10% across-the-board cut to what would have been the '07-'08 amounts (from our perspective, a modest proposal). As a companion to your proposed budget you introduced a balanced budget amendment for California, that if enacted, would help to ensure that we don't end up back in this same, unfathomable position.
Your fellow Republicans in the State Capitol have rallied to your position -- making it clear that there is no way that a tax increase (let alone a new tax) would get even a single Republican vote. Thanks to the wisdom of California voters, it takes a 2/3 vote to pass a tax increase, and so none will ever reach your desk for you to veto!
That said, I wanted to drop you this memo because I keep getting feedback from FlashReport readers from up and down California who are a bit confused. Overall, your messaging on the budget is right on target. But of course the liberal media likes to pick up on anything that you might say that hints about a willingness to solve this problem by sticking it to California taxpayers.
My readers have expressed clearly to me that they appreciate your firm commitment to not increasing the tax burden on them in order to deal with the state's massive deficit, and many have said that they would prefer an endless budget stalemate all the way to the November election if that is what it takes.
But there is concern because the folks in the media are trying to portray that you are willing to raise taxes. But they are using your own words. Governor, we know you don't like to get caught up in semantics -- but "closing tax loopholes" is liberal-speak for raising taxes.
At a recent townhall meeting, you apparently breached the subject of "broadening" state sales taxes to make them apply to more areas. This is another tax increase proposal, Governor!
From our perspective, it's actually really simple. State government "revenues" generally come from one source -- taxes. Anything you do to "increase revenues" does two things: (1) it's a tax increase, pure and simple, and (2) it is a rejection of your stated premise, that we must solve this budget crisis through spending cuts, not tax increases that punish working Californians for the largesse of the liberals who dominate the state legislature.
To quote Milton Friedman:
With the Democrats in charge of the legislature, we know that needed tax cuts will never be put on your desk. But the good news is that because you are our Governor, you can ensure that no tax increases or "revenue increases" become law, either.
Thanks for taking the time to read this note, and for all of your tireless hard work.
At least until 2011. Then we will have Governor Jerry Brown and a Democrat dominated legislature with more than 2/3rd of the members Democrats. Why? Because of the current anti-immigrant and anti-woman CRP platform and the CRA desire to have only "pure" candidates win Republican primaries and when the "pure" candidate does not win, run a straw write-in candidate to knock off the moderate Republican in favor of the Democrat. And when the Democrat wins and does what Democrats always do - raise taxes and give the money to their favored few - the CRA says "well, the votes didn't vote for our far right wing candidate so they get what they deserve" and the rest of us suffer. No wonder the state of Nevada is advertising across California telling business owners to move to Nevada as soon as possible.Posted by Bob Evans at March 25, 2008 11:05am
Bob, there is also a black helicopter circling over your house right now. Really. Look up.Posted by Michael Der Manouel, Jr. at March 25, 2008 1:47pm
By gosh, you're right. And it's Michael Berman's black (for Republicans) helicopter, where Michael is hard at work drawing congressional and legislative districts where two sitting Republican legislators are pitted against each other or where far right wing-nut Republicans run but cannot get a majority of Republican votes let alone the votes of independents they must have to win.Posted by Bob Evans at March 25, 2008 3:30pm
Speaking of state overspending, what is going on with Tom McClintock and his taking extra money beyond his state salary because he "lives" in his district in Southern California but has to attend to business in Sacramento so he has to maintain two residences? Turns out he and his family actually live in Sacramento in a house he purchased several years ago and his mother lives in the house where he�s registered to vote (the old family home?) in his district. Shouldn�t a state legislator actually live in the district that he represents? So why is he taking money from our taxpayers under false pretenses? His explanation (to a TV reporter in Sacramento) sounds positively Clinton - everybody else does it so it's OK. Frankly, I thought that Tom McClintock was a straight shooter on things belonging to the taxpayers, but it seems he's just one more politician taking what he can from the taxpaying public.Posted by Bob Evans at March 25, 2008 4:45pm
Mr. Evans:
Why do you come to a Republican website to attack Republicans?
Do you have a personal issue with the publisher? Are you mad
about the outcome of a particular GOP primary in the past?
Why be the dog in the Manger?
So you think, Mr. Sills, that Tom McClintock is a RINO?Posted by Bob Evans at March 25, 2008 5:26pm
Mr. Evans:
You have taunted various posters on this site. Fine. We all have thick skins.
But the question is a reasonable one: why come to a clearly Republican
website to blast Republicans? Why do you do this?
Mr. Sills
Because I want to know what on earth is going on with Tom McClintock. Everything I read on this website is very positive regarding Tom McClintock; he is tight fisted with the people's money; he is the most honest man in the legislature. Now, I read that he has taken more than $300,000 in tax free per diem (over and above his salary as a legislator) and his only explanation is everybody does it so I do it too? And so far, not a single word of cometary about this on the Flashreport. How come?
You know Bob, you are right. All women in California go to cagop.org, download the platform, get scared, and vote democrat. Yep, that's it!Posted by Michael Der Manouel, Jr. at March 26, 2008 12:28pm
You know Michael, if every Republican woman went to cagop.org and downloaded the current platform and read it, they would absolutely resent the fact that the CRP has the gall to tell them what to do with their body. However, I would hope they will vote for moderate Republican candidates if they can in the hope that the current platform is scrapped in favor or a forward looking 21st century platform.Posted by Bob Evans at March 26, 2008 2:27pm
PS: you can all go to carlburton.com and read a forward looking 21st Century platform.Posted by Bob Evans at March 26, 2008 2:30pm
Mr. Evans:
Does your indignation trace, then, to local Ventura County GOP rivalries?
Were you on the other side when Tom McClintock defeated Judy Mikels
in the GOP primary for an open state senate seat? (2000)
And when Judy Mikels lost her re-election bid for county supervisor at
the hands of Peter Foy (2006)?
... or Audra Strickland's state Assembly primary win over Bob Larkin
in 2006?
Are all those conservative GOP primary wins in Ventura county what's
really troubling you?
Mr. Sills
Nope. What troubles me is when the CRA runs straw far right wing candidates in the general election as write-ins against moderate Republicans so the Democrat wins. What troubles me is when a far right wing religious faction stacks the CRP committees so they can foist anti-woman and anti-immigrant platforms on to the Republican Party which helps defeat Republican candidates so the Democrats win. What troubles me are Republican office holders who pretend to be the most fiscally tight no tax politicians since the foundation of the republic but take per diem of over $300,000 meant to compensate legislators who have to live in Sacramento while their families and homes are far from Sacramento but who actually live with their families less than 15 miles from the capitol building, then when they get caught with their hand in the tax-paid cookie jar say "well, everybody else does it so I do it too." What bothers me are people who come on this blog and call moderate Republicans RINO's, including the Governor, in an effort to defeat them in favor of people who cannot win election to statewide offices. What bothers me are candidates who think they can win election by degrading and demeaning blocks of people such as gays (if ever there is a block of people who should be Republicans, it is gay small business owners; but no - we demean these people and run them right into the arms of the Democrats) and blacks and Latinos and others who the people in charge don't like. To me, these are among the reason's the Republican Party is going straight down in registration and influence and if we keep it up, this party will become completely irrelevant. Then watch what happens to your taxes.
Mr. Evans brings up some very valid concerns. Its clear that he is frustrated with his party. I do not believe he is alone. I sincerely hope that his concerns are addressed and perhaps disputed in an intellgent way rather than through insults in an attempt to diminsh his point of view.Posted by Chris Jordan at March 27, 2008 12:54pm

MILLVILLE — Owners of vacant or abandoned properties are being put on notice.
Millville officials are taking a more aggressive approach toward vacant homes that are run-down and vacant, telling owners to either clean up or clear out.
The City Commission held a special meeting last week to invite the owners of six properties so they could answer questions and explain how they plan to clean up. More meetings are expected to be held soon.
The number of abandoned homes in the city has skyrocketed since 2005. That year, the city listed 17 abandoned properties. This year, there are 164.
Its a cancer, Commissioner Dale Finch said. Cancer doesnt recede, and unless you treat it, it grows. Five years ago it was little, and now its growing. Weve had enough, so were being aggressive.
Finch said more owners are slower to make repairs, while others simply abandoned their properties after sustaining heavy damages.
Some of the homes discussed last week were damaged by fire, while others simply were abandoned in poor condition by owners. Officials said such homes are ripe for break-ins and other crimes.
Three of the homes addressed at last weeks meeting became candidates for demolition because they had been unoccupied for more than six months and their owners were not making adequate progress with repairs. That qualifies a home to be placed on the citys abandoned property list.
One owner could be sued by the city after allegedly receiving insurance money following a November 2009 fire and not performing any repairs to the home, officials said.
That property, on the 100 block of Foundry Street, sustained heavy roof damage in the blaze. During storms, water leaks into the kitchen of another home connected to the building, officials said.
The owner of the Foundry Street home did not attend the meeting.
Officials also unanimously approved a plan to demolish a house on the 300 block of Oak Street that they said has been vacant for several years.
That home has been an eyesore for at least five years, Finch said. Weve spent numerous dollars over those years cleaning up weeds, trash and broken glass.
Mayor Tim Shannon said, This has been a home neighbors have spoken about every time weve ventured into the Center City area.
A two-home unit on the 200 block of South 4th Street was spared by city officials when they learned the owners of the fire-damaged half of the property just received a permit and are in the process of making repairs. They had owned the unit for just five weeks.
City construction official Michael Morano acknowledged there was a mix-up and said he was unaware of the permit being issued when the home already was listed for potential demolition.
The home was badly damaged in a fire last August. The other half did not catch fire, but sustained water damage. Both units have been unoccupied since the blaze.
The fire-damaged half previously was owned by a California-based company before it was sold to the new owners, officials said.
Robert Marks, father of co-owner Andrew Marks, told officials they already have started making significant repairs to the burned home.
This house is probably one of the better homes on that block, Marks said. We boarded up all windows and doors. The property has a brand-new furnace, which is high-efficiency, and the electric has been redone. The structure is in great shape. Smoke and water damage on the second floor received a minimal estimate. This place is not ready for demolition.
Officials told Marks they have until Sept. 30 to restore the unit. The other half, owned by CIMTAF Jersey Properties LLC, has until Aug. 30 to make repairs.
Two other homes discussed at the meeting, one on 2nd Street home and one on Mulberry Street, were mostly demolished already. A trailer and light standards remain at the 2nd Street home while a large hole on the Mulberry Street property needs to be filled.

House Speaker Rep. John Boehner of Ohio, speaks to the media about the fiscal cliff at the U.S. Capitol in Washington, on Thursday, Dec. 20, 2012. (AP Photo/Jacquelyn Martin)
- Filed Under
Still reeling from an embarrassing GOP revolt against his back-up proposal to avert the fiscal cliff, John Boehner on Friday offered up a low-volume, no-frills assessment of his failure to muscle that "Plan B" through the House.
"Not the outcome that I wanted, but that was the will of the House," the West Chester Republican and House speaker told reporters at a news conference Friday morning, 14 hours after chaos erupted inside his House GOP conference.
Despite Boehner's calm demeanor, this latest twist in the fiscal-cliff saga raises fresh questions about how effective the Ohio ...

The most recent meeting of the Fort Collins Interfaith Council brought into focus what has been called the Continuum of Care, the term used by the Federal Department of Housing and Urban Development to describe the standard for HUD funding programs dealing with homelessness under the HEARTH Act.
Closer to home, what happened at the meeting was the way that continuum manifested itself from being hosted by the Fort Collins Salvation Army to welcoming Vanessa M. Fenley, the newly named project director of Homeward 2020. As the successor to former director Bryce Hach, she represents the systemic end of the continuum, seeking solutions to end homelessness, while the Salvation Army primarily addresses the immediate needs of homeless persons through direct services.
Of course, there is a mix of purposes evident at both ends of the continuum and in the range of programs in between. For example, Homeward 2020 has organized the annual day of direct services, Project Homeless Connect, while the Salvation Army provides case management for the One Congregation One Family, or OCOF, which seeks to mentor homeless families toward self-sufficiency.
This range is also richly represented by Interfaith Council, or IFC member service groups, including Catholic Charities Larimer County, CARE Housing, Education and Life Training Center/Circles, Fort Collins Housing Authority, Homeless Gear/Hand Up Cooperative, Homelessness Prevention Initiative, and the Sister Mary Alice Murphy Center for Hope.
Then there is IFCs own project, the Faith Family Hospitality, through which direct care is provided via the faith communities hosting homeless families weekly on a rotating basis. Concurrently, long-term solutions are facilitated through the Murphy Center and the Matthews Houses newly established Community Life Center.
The local continuum is also represented by The Fort Collins Rescue Mission and Timberline Churchs Serve 6.8, as well as a number of other agencies and faith communities with outreach to homeless people. Altogether, quite a spectrum of caring here in Fort Collins.
Yet, altogether, not enough. When the day of systemic social change comes from decreasing income disparity to increasing private and public investments, then the goal of all 450 of the nations Ten Year Plans to End Homelessness will be more nearly achieved: To provide a rapid, easily accessible network of prevention assistance, affordable housing and wrap-around support services that will make homelessness rare, short-lived and nonrecurring.
In this way, too, will the mandate of Micah 6:8 be more completely fulfilled: To do justice, love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.
Richard A. Thompson is president of the Fort Collins Area Interfaith Council.

such acreepy, Kim K obsessed fan.
Is this after surgery or before? if after, you should get your $back
i think her abdomen area looks big still even after having surgery because she has no muscle tone underneath. She needs to trim up her mid-section by doing lots of cardio, dieting and core exercises. This picture post-surgery is just awful. Sorry
she looks immediately post-partum(immediately after giving birth).
Her body looks like it's been neglected for years and she is in her 20s?
Many women who have given birth and gotten their bodies back with diet and exercise look many times better than this one
awful, not a good result after lipo, she looks so out of shape and overweight still
whoa, that is a big chick.is this after surgery? or before

How To Make Chocolate Cake
This simple chocolate sponge cake recipe is rich and chocolatey. Learn how to make our perfect chocolate cake recipe.
Step 1: You will need:
Step 2: Mix
Heat oven to 190C/fan 170C/gas 5, 375F. Butter two 20cm (8 in) sandwich tins and line with non-stick baking paper.
Step 3: Bake
In a large bowl, beat together 200g softened butter with 200g caster sugar, 4 eggs, 170g flour and 30g cocoa powder until you have a smooth, soft batter.
Divide the mixture between the tins, smooth the surface with a spatula or the back of a spoon, then bake for about 20 mins until the top is a beautiful golden colour. The cake should spring back when you press it. Turn it onto a cooling rack and leave to cool completely.
Step 4: Frosting
For the fudge frosting, heat 200ml double cream until it just begins to boil. Take it off the heat and add 50g butter, 3 tablespoons honey and 200g dark chocolate, which has been broken into pieces. Leave the mixture for five minutes so the chocolate melts, then stir it briefly to combine all the ingredients - don't over-mix it or it will lose its shine.
Step 5: Ice
Sandwich the cakes with a third of the just-warm frosting and spread the rest over the top and sides. Top with shaved or grated chocolate.

Sinead O'Connor has often used Twitter as a way to seek help, but now the singer has posted a series of new worrying messages.
The 'Nothing Compares 2 U' singer wants psychiatric help and wants medication, but can't seem to find a good doctor in Ireland.
She also refers to her husband, who Sinead writes is in danger of losing his job.
In series of posts, Sinead asked specifically for a recommendation of a doctor so she can visit them today.
"does any1 know a psychiatrist in dublin or wicklow who could urgently see me today please? im really un-well... and in danger," she tweeted.
At one point, Sinead even disclosed an email address appealing for information. It seems that she's hurt herself, by tweeting that she's got a broken ankle too.
"me dont wanna leave me kids. or f**k up me work. im sorry worrying any1.. is just am sick and ireland shit for finding help cant think of any other way," she added.
Last September after tweeting about her suicidal feelings, O'Connor came under fire from critics but she fired back: "There is no shame in feeling suicidal. Nor in anyone knowing that wave passes over you sometimes."
Let's hope she finds the help she needs...
Sinead O'Connor and her husband Barry Herridge...

He's again leading the Euroleague in rebounding this season, averaging just a hair under 15-boards per-40 minutes pace adjusted, and while he's doing it for a bad team, he's obviously a guy that at the very least deserves an extended look. Watson fits the mold of your undersized bruiser who likes to mix it up inside and finds a way to get the job done. He has a wide body to go along with a great wingspan, excellent hands and solid athleticism, and while he can look a bit lazy at times getting up and down the floor and competing defensively, you can't argue with the production he brings to the table, as he's also an excellent finisher around the basket. He's a tough guy who is not afraid to stick his nose in on the offensive glass, and it's possible that in the right role with the added motivation that should come with playing in the NBA, he could be a valuable contributor at the 4/5 spots coming off the bench. He's one of the rare big men on this list who isn't making much more than the NBA minimum, so it's possible that an offer of that nature could be enough to get the job done.

Have you ever thought about how many stars there are in the sky or how many grains of sand on the beach?
If you know how to figure out volumes you can estimate how many grains of sand there are in a beach volleyball court that Colleen plays in. It isn't too hard so here is how we do it.
You need to know how big a grain of sand is. It turns out sand comes in all sizes, but the beach sand in Southern California is small. It is also very beautiful when you look at it under a microscope. This photo is of beach sand from a beach near where Colleen plays.
The thing about sand is that it comes in all kinds of shapes and there is a lot of air between them even when you scrunch it down. We'll make a good guess. We won't be able to figure out exactly how many grains of sand there are in the volleyball court, but we will get a good idea.
The black bar in the photo is one millimeter long. We're going to use the metric system because it is easier to do the arithmetic. A millimeter is small - there are a bit more over 25 of them in an inch. Colleen is two meters tall and a millimeter is 1/1000 of a meter, so she is 2000 millimeters tall. How tall are you in millimeters?
We are going to try to get an idea of how many grains of sand will fit in a cube that is a millimeter on a side. One way to guess is to get the average number of grains on a millimeter long line. Remember that the volume of a cube is its hight times its width times its depth. These are all the same, so the number of grains of sand in a millimeter is multiplied times itself there times. It is "cubed" You will get slightly different numbers depending on where you measure, but 2 grains per millimeter is a pretty good average. 2 times 2 times 2 is 8, so we will say there are 8 grains of in a cube that is a millimeter on a side. Some sand is smaller and some is larger.
Now all we have to do is figure out how many of these cubes fit in a beach volleyball court and we are almost done. We need to know the length, width and depth of the sand. It is pretty bumpy, but we are just making an educated guess, so we will pretend the depth is even. It turns out the courts are 8 meters wide and 16 meters long. The sand can be deep, but lets say it is about a half meter deep (this is about 20 inches). So the volume is 8 * 16 * 1/2 cubic meters, or 64 cubic meters.
That is a lot of sand!
Lets convert this to millimeters. Each meter is 1000 millimeters, so a cubic meter has 1000 x 1000 x 1000 cubic millimeter - 1,000,000,000 ... a billion cubic millimeters. So our beach volleyball court has 64 billion cubic millimeters in it. Since there are 8 grains of sand in each cubic millimeter we just multiply
64,000,000,000 cubic millimeters * 8 grains of sand per cubic millimeter = 512,000,000,000 - grains of sand. That is more than half a trillion! There are about 6 million people on Earth so you could give each of them nearly 100 grains of sand from Colleen's court.
This is just an estimate, but if someone asks, you can tell them there are probably over 500 billion grains of sand in a beach volleyball court, but that depends on how big the sand is.
