Holley Performance Products says it is planning to file bankruptcy in an effort to convert a majority of the company's debt into equity.
"This is a prudent financial move on the part of our owners and investors," says Thomas W. Tomlinson, the company's CFO. "The actual conversion of debt into equity will be accomplished through a prepackaged bankruptcy filing that will cancel out the old capital structure and formally establish the new one."
Tomlinson says customers, suppliers and employees will not be affected. He says it will be "business as usual" at Holley throughout the restructuring process, which is expected to be completed in as few as 45 days.
Holley's family of companies in the performance market includes Holley, Weiand, Hooker, FlowTech, Earl's and NOS. The company is headquartered in Bowling Green, KY.

If you're working more iteratively and incrementally and things are better for your team and your customers, can you call yourself agile? As long as you're improving, does it really matter what you call yourself? Johanna Rothman says yes. Unless you're following the Agile Manifesto, you aren't truly agile.Read More
Malcolm Gladwell introduced the 10,000 Hours of Practice rule, which he claims is how long it takes to truly master a skill. The exact number may not be important, but it surely does take time and practice to hone our skills. Taking a quick coding course is useful, but to be an expert, there's no shortcut.Read More
Company culture is important, but you shouldn't base hiring decisions solely on how well someone seems he'll fit in. This leads to conformity and a fragile organization.

Stories and essays and pictures illuminate holiday
"There are many lights in light," according to a line in the Talmud. Hillel's words refer to the blessing over the Havdalah candle, but can be applied no less to Chanukah.
The most exquisite of new books for the season is not about Chanukah, but about light. An oversize volume, Sam Fink's "The Book of Exodus" (Welcome Books) includes 40 watercolor paintings of the sky, each hand lettered with a chapter of Exodus, in Hebrew and English.
In an introduction, artist and calligrapher Fink writes of connecting "the infinite wisdom of the words of Exodus with the never-ending magic of the sky." He "embroiders the delicacy of the words" into the sky, fitting lines of text into the movement of the clouds. Facing pages include the English text in type and his skyscape paintings with their handwritten English and Hebrew text. The book divides Exodus -- described by Fink as "a cry for freedom" -- by chapters, as opposed to the weekly Torah readings.
The project began as a personal gift to the author's family and then was expanded. Fink worked on this for four years, inspired by the custom, seldom invoked, that he learned from his rabbi, that a man copy his own Bible before the end of his days.
Chanukah's many letters, many spellings and many possibilities are explored in "How to Spell Chanukah: 18 Writers Celebrate 8 Nights of Light" edited by Emily Franklin (Algonquin). The essays are humorous, sometimes nostalgic, irreverent, autobiographical sketches. Young writers including Elisa Albert, Ed Schwarzschild, Adam Langer, Amy Klein of The Jewish Journal, Tova Mirvis, Steve Almond, Joanna Smith Rakoff and others describe and dish about family, rituals, love, Christmas envy, too many latkes, chocolate gelt and "Judas Maccabaeus-shaped candies in blue-and-white tinfoil.
Joshua Neuman, publisher of Heeb magazine, writes about his short-lived efforts as a salesman, his family trade. His immigrant grandfather had made his way convincing people they needed things. The then-25-year-old aspiring writer, with a graduate degree in the philosophy of religion who taught Hebrew school, tries selling stuffed animal mufflers called Creature Comfies -- his father's brainstorm of an idea -- to major department stores in the weeks leading up to Christmas. He takes out his earrings, prints business cards, puts on an old suit and soon gets escorted out of Lord & Taylor by security.
Eric Orner contributes a comic strip, "Traditions Break," in which a young woman has nowhere to go over winter break when she gets thrown out of her dorm room, and the Chanukah package her mother sent is locked up in the closed mail room. Her louse of a boyfriend, Tommy, "the kind of Jew who thinks Maccabees are the fancy nuts people bring back from Hawaiian vacations," has left her behind while he's skiing with friends. But an expected new friend takes her in and crafts the "ugliest, loveliest menorah I've ever seen" out of foil.
In "Eight Nights," Laura Dave describes seven nights of Chanukah over her life, where she has been in many places and with many people. She spends the eighth night at her parent's home in the suburbs, where she naps in her childhood bedroom and takes in the scene with gratitude of being surrounded by family. Before her father drives her to the station for the train ride back to her own new home in the city, she loads up on toilet paper, batteries and fresh apples, things her parents insist she won't find in the city. As they're pulling out of the driveway, she remembers all the nights that came before and catches a glimpse: "The Chanukah lights in the window -- shining, like eight simple stories -- in the night sky."
For all of these essayists, with their different styles, grudges and dilemmas, sweet and bittersweet memories, Chanukah counts for more than eight nights.
In "The Golden Dreydl," illustrations by Ilene Winn Lederer (Charlesbridge, ages 8 to 11), Ellen Kushner turns to folklore, fantasy and humor. The host and writer of the public radio series "Sound & Spirit," Kushner has narrated performances of this original story with the Shirim Klezmer Orchestra around the country. The book opens with a young girl named Sara, who's upset that her family's house looks so ordinary next to all the other houses on their block that are so beautifully lit up for Christmas. She's bored with Chanukah.
At her aunt's Chanukah party, she is presented with a large, shiny dreydl, which turns out to be a magical dreydl princess who takes her on a great adventure through worlds of biblical figures, demons, fools and other strange folks. Toward the end, Sara gets caught up in a dance where the letters of the dreydl along with every letter of the alphabet combine to make word after word, "as if the world itself were being created in letters." She awakens into golden light.
"The Best Hanukkah Ever" by Barbara Diamond Goldin, illustrated by Avi Katz (Marshall Cavendish) is a funny and touching story about the Knoodle family and their misdirected efforts at buying each other "the perfect gift, one that will be treasured forever." Children of all ages will enjoy this story, which seems like a meeting between "The Gift of the Magi," O'Henry's classic tale of giving and receiving, and "Tales of Chelm."
A Sephardic custom of the holiday serves as the centerpiece of "Hanukkah Moon" by Deborah Da Costa, illustrated by Gosia Mosz (Kar-Ben, ages 6 to 10). A young girl named Isobel visits her Aunt Luisa, newly arrived from Mexico with her cat named Paco. They celebrate Rosh Chodesh, the first day of the new month, when the new moon appears. In this enchanting story that features a tree of birds, a dreydl is called trompo, guests knock open a fanciful pinata and wish each other Feliz Januca, and they have couscous with their latkes.
Another story that unfolds on Rosh Chodesh, "Mayer Aaron Levi and His Lemon Tree" by Tami Lehman-Wilzig (Gefen) is a sweet story about a family and a tree that is passed down through generations. Not only has the tree lived on among Mayer Aaron Levi's descendants, but so has the story of his tremendous generosity.
A spiritually-oriented Good Night Moon, "The Bedtime Sh'ma: A Goodnight Book" adapted by Sarah Gershman and illustrated by Kristina Swarner (EKS Publishing) is a book that young children will enjoy hearing again and again, night after night, and they and their parents will enjoy the luminous paintings. Gershman presents poetic interpretations of the text, highlighting themes of peace and safety in the darkness, encouraging the child's sense of wonder, strength and drive to seek the light. The book features English and Hebrew translations of selected text, accompanied by a CD with musical selections from the Shema.

Hey! All is confirmed- Due date 9/19/09 Yeah! Along for the ride is a 7.8cm hemmoragic cyst on my left ovary which the doc says is large but normal apparently that is the ovary that ovulated and they are hoping it will disappear on its own at the beginning of my 2nd trimester.
Have any of ya'll ever experienced the visual changes with the hormones. I had these weird prisms floating in my eyes last night for like 30 minutes doc says it is hormones. I never had that with my first. This pregnancy just seems to want to be different lol:)

Book News: Co-Author Of Book On How Not To Be Gored By A Bull Gets Gored
By Annalisa Quinn
Originally published on Thu July 10, 2014 5:55 am
The daily lowdown on books, publishing, and the occasional author behaving badly.
- A Chicago man who co-authored a book about how not to be gored by bulls in the annual running of the bulls in Pamplona, Spain, has been gored by a bull. On Wednesday, Bill Hillmann, one of the authors of Fiesta: How to Survive the Bulls of Pamplona, was reportedly gored in the leg. According to the Associated Press, "The six fighting bulls run along a 930-yard (850-meter) course from a holding pen to Pamplona's bull ring in a tense and dramatic few minutes immortalized in Ernest Hemingway's 1926 novel The Sun Also Rises." The news service notes that so far, the 32-year-old American and four Spaniards have been gored in this year's festival. One of Hillmann's co-authors was Hemingway's grandson, though he did not run. Another co-author told The New York Times, "We will probably need to update the book."
- Police arrested a man named Michael Mott in connection with an attack on novelist Colum McCann late last month in New Haven, Conn. According to news reports, local police said Mott turned himself in and confessed to assaulting McCann. The author reportedly intervened in a dispute between Mott and his wife, stopping to ask the woman if she needed help. After she declined, Mott is said to have followed McCann and attacked him, leaving him with a concussion and serious facial injuries. In a statement released last week, McCann called the attack "shocking" and "cowardly."
- "What happens when artists gravitate to places where they can make art only with great financial effort; where writers have to be journalists, adjunct professors, or work in cafés to pay the rent, leaving little time to write their novel, while learning every few months that one of their herd has secured a six-figure advance for their first book? What do their relationships and values look like, and how do their love stories unfold?" Sheila Heti considers the literary culture of Brooklyn and Adelle Waldman's novel The Love Affairs of Nathaniel P.
- For Pacific Standard, Ted Scheinman asks his favorite writers what they do about writer's block. Margaret Drabble says she walks: "The best remedy is walking. An evening walk can work wonders. I often think of the Latin tag, solvitur ambulando — it will be solved by walking."
- For years, Hitler's Mein Kampf has been kept out of print by its copyright holder, the German state of Bavaria. But in 2015, the copyright will expire and the book will be allowed to be published in Germany once more. Peter Ross Range writes that it will be good for Germany to have access to the Nazi leader's "dreary and often incomprehensible diatribe." He says, "The inoculation of a younger generation against the Nazi bacillus is better served by open confrontation with Hitler's words than by keeping his reviled tract in the shadows of illegality."

By Dustin Perry, USAG Japan Public AffairsOctober 24, 2011
CAMP ZAMA, Japan, Oct. 24, 2011 -- Ten mainland U.S. Army Japan facilities were voted "Best of the Pacific" in an annual online poll conducted by the regional edition of the Stars and Stripes newspaper.
Included in the results, released as an insert with the publication on Sept. 30, were both repeat and first-time honorees from Camp Zama. Voters also selected their favorites in Okinawa, Korea and Guam.
A big winner was Camp Zama's Morale, Welfare and Recreation Division. Five facilities here won in their respective categories, including Best Golf Course, Bowling Alley, Fitness Center, Outdoor Recreation, and overall "Other" Facility.
The Camp Zama Golf Course received 50 percent of the votes in its category -- a tremendous showing of appreciation from the customers, said manager Dale Jorgenson.
"I've got a great staff and they work really hard, so it's nice that I can show them that the customers appreciate what we do," he said. "First and foremost, we strive to be customer friendly. All of our rules are designed to take care of the customer."
The 18 lanes at the Camp Zama Bowling Center, combined with a retro ambiance and "the best lumpia in town" helped to earn the facility the honor this year, said the food outlet manager there.
"My employees work very hard to provide the best service to our community," said Gemma Takeda. "The people in this community feel comfortable when they spend time with their families here. It's a big honor for us to be voted the best bowling facility in Japan."
Camp Zama's joint Exchange and shoppette both won in their respective small-division categories. This marks the second time in three years the shoppette has received the honor, and the Exchange has never lost in the history of the poll.
"To be voted as the best shoppette, especially on mainland Japan, was a big honor because we're such a small Exchange versus Yokota (Air base) and even Misawa (Air base)," said Camp Zama Exchange General Manager Shirley Huth. "We try to meet the customers' needs and listen to them, and I think this win is a reflection of that."
"Because we are a smaller store, it's very easy to interact with our customers than in a larger Exchange," added Huth. "With Camp Zama being such a small installation, there is a small community that makes it easy to talk to our customers. We're going to continue to improve."
The East Meets West and Oriental Bazaar here won in the Best Shop Category, a first for the former establishment. Run by members of the Zama Community Spouses Association, East Meets West offers a wide variety of authentic Japanese gifts and souvenirs at affordable prices.
"I felt extremely honored that the voters chose us as the best, because there are a lot of other options for vintage Japanese items out there," said manager Louise Clutter. "We just want our customers to have the option to get authentic Japanese gifts here on Zama, so they don't have to run all over Japan to find them."
The United States Army Garrison Japan and its 16 supported installation sites are located in the island of Honshu and Okinawa in Japan. The USAG Japan mission is to support the Headquarters, U.S. Army Japan / I Corps (Fwd) to ensure mission readiness and the quality of life of the Army community in a sustainable, transforming joint and combined environment.
The USAG-J area of responsibility spans 1,500 miles from north to south of Japan. Camp Zama, home for both HQ USARJ and USAG-J is located approximately 25 miles southwest of Tokyo in the cities of Zama and Sagamihara in Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan. The Camp Zama base cluster includes Sagamihara Housing Area and Sagami General Depot.
Akasaka Press Center is located in the center of Tokyo. The Akizuki/Kure area near Hiroshima is an ammunition depot. Yokohama North Dock is a port facility in the city of Yokohama, a major commerce port and a popular shopping area. USAG Torii Station is located 980 miles southwest of Camp Zama on the island of Okinawa.
We are the Army's home in Japan and the "Garrison of Choice" for Soldiers, Civilians and their Family members. We are committed in becoming the leader in the U.S. Army Installation Management Command by providing world-class installation services.

Catholics in Alabama fishing town look to rebuild lives after storm
By Carol Zimmermann
BAYOU LA BATRE, Ala. (CNS) -- The first sign of trouble in the small fishing village of Bayou La Batre is the muddy 60-foot shrimp boat washed ashore and tilted to its side.
The boat, in full view during a Sunday morning outdoor Mass Sept. 11 for St. Margaret parishioners, served as a constant reminder of the damage caused by Hurricane Katrina, not that these parishioners needed any reminders. Many in the town had lost everything in the storm.
Near the coast, all that remained of houses were the wooden pilings. The wooden frames, furniture and belongings were tossed about 100 feet away in the woods. Homes farther inland had been soaked in water surges that covered their entire first floors.
Many of the town's 2,300 residents also lost their jobs in the fishing industry devastated because fish processing plants were destroyed and pollution is harming the waters once rich with oysters, crabs and shrimp.
The early morning Mass was held in a pavilion by the bayou, since the church was water-damaged. The sunshine, clear sky, pelicans overhead and flapping U.S. flag belied the struggles for this small community known by many as the home of Bubba in the "Forrest Gump" movie.
At the beginning of Mass, the pastor, Father Tim Evans, urged his congregation to do something a little different.
"We all need to give each other a hug," he said to the crowd of about 150 people sitting in metal folding chairs under the pavilion and in folding chairs they brought from home and set on the browned, soggy grass along the pavilion's edge.
In his homily, he urged parishioners to "come together and take care of each other," noting that in all the ugliness of the storm they should also recognize "beauty coming out" in the compassion shown to those in need.
The priest also said he knew everyone was tired and worn out from coping with the storm's damage. He told them they could "be re-energized by God's love, which gives us strength, courage and the will to push on."
He said he finds himself telling people that God is not to blame for the hurricane that now provides an opportunity for "God's love to shine through."
"We see God's love when someone says, 'We love you, here's a blue tarp,' or 'We love you, here's some food,'" he added. "God is more present now than we were ever aware of before."
At the end of Mass, but before the final blessing, there were at least 20 minutes of announcements. Most of them were strong urgings for parishioners to get necessary help and not to be too proud to accept it. There was also discussion about repairing the church, rectory and school, no longer open but used for church functions, and a request for volunteers to help inventory all church items damaged in the storm, even down to rosaries and hymnals.
At the end of Mass, no one seemed ready to rush home, especially given their condition. Many parishioners spoke with Marilyn King, director of Catholic Social Services for the Mobile Archdiocese, and filled out forms listing their needs.
Boxes of donated clothes and cleaning supplies were set out on a table and on the grass. A Knights of Columbus group started cooking food behind the church parking lot for a free lunch of hot dogs, hamburgers and jambalaya they were offering people in the town.
Parishioners who spoke with Catholic News Service after Mass included lifelong residents of Bayou La Batre and people who had moved there in recent years for fishing jobs. St. Margaret Church, which is nearly 100 years old and has 400 members, is right in the center of town and known by most as "the big church."
Every year, for nearly 60 years, the priests of St. Margaret have blessed the vessels and the fishermen. Virtually all the businesses in the town, considered the seafood capital of Alabama, are directly or indirectly tied to the fishing fleet.
The blessing of the fleet grew into a national festival with thousands of visitors flocking to Bayou La Batre for the two-day event. Mobile Archbishop Oscar H. Lipscomb has officiated at the blessing of the fleet Mass and also blessed each of the decorated vessels as they passed his boat for the past 25 years.
Father Evans told The Catholic Week, Mobile's archdiocesan newspaper, that after insurance adjustors assessed the damage in about a week he would have a better idea of what can be done to fix the church and other buildings.
Many of the old-timers in the parish were able to rattle off without hesitation the names and years of hurricanes they lived through and how high the water went each time. Katrina's water surge surpassed all of them, causing the worst damage in the state to this town and adjacent Dauphin Island.
Many residents, like self-employed fisherman Arlen Lyons, whose home had been under 7 feet of water and who no longer has work, planned to stay in the area, although he told CNS after the Mass that he "wouldn't mind being on higher ground."
Sixty-five-year-old Cecilia Nelson, who said she has "lived on the same piece of property all her life," got out her rosary on the night of the hurricane and said she "wore it out."
Her friend, Carolyn Thomas, said everything in her home is water-damaged.
"We've been married 50 years, and we lost everything," she said.
What upsets her most is not that she just had her kitchen redone, but that so many of her photographs are damaged.
Trying hard not to cry, but finally unable to stop herself, she said that through it all her faith had been restored. She said she always liked nice furniture and nice things and was proud of what she owned. But after the storm's destruction she had a different perspective.
"I told God if I recuperated, I won't be like that anymore," she said.

Bismuth Telluride and Its Alloys as Materials for Thermoelectric Generation
School of Physics, University of New South Wales, Sydney 2052, Australia

AbstractBismuth telluride and its alloys are widely used as materials for thermoelectric refrigeration. They are also the best materials for use in thermoelectric generators when the temperature of the heat source is moderate. The dimensionless figure of merit, ZT, usually rises with temperature, as long as there is only one type of charge carrier. Eventually, though, minority carrier conduction becomes significant and ZT decreases above a certain temperature. There is also the possibility of chemical decomposition due to the vaporization of tellurium. Here we discuss the likely temperature dependence of the thermoelectric parameters and the means by which the composition may be optimized for applications above room temperature. The results of these theoretical predictions are compared with the observed properties of bismuth telluride-based thermoelements at elevated temperatures. Compositional changes are suggested for materials that are destined for generator modules.

Hi, its obviously a couple of minths now since you posted this so hopefully your little one is making a recovery. Just to let you now my baby contracted whooping cough around 8 weeks of age. This was the middle of July. When the said 100 day cough they wern't kidding, in fact he is still coughing now but not often and not badly. He has had a flare up of it though after getting a cold. This apparently can happen for up to a year but does not mean they are getting whooping cough again and was nowhere near as bad as the orginal cough. Do you know where your daughter caught it from? My husband got it and then passed it to my son. Unfortuantly despite around 10 doctors appiontments between them, noone diagnosed it until little one was admitted to hospital after he started to go blue. Just wondered how you got on. Anyway hoping things are a lot better now.

Recently, BookRenter conducted a survey through Q&A Research in order to determine how college students feel about their finances. Not surprisingly, the survey found that only 9% of students receive a free ride in college and that most struggle to make ends meet. As college costs continue to rise, it is apparent that students today are really pinching their pennies in order to stay afloat.
When most people think about college their immediate thoughts turn to recollections about difficult tests or the most memorable parties they attended. However what is becoming increasingly clear is that most college students are struggling to enjoy the traditional college experience. As the survey points out, more than 75% of college students said that they didn't feel properly prepared to handle their personal finances in college. Hence, not only do students struggle to earn money but they also have a difficult time handling their budget.
Luckily, there are a variety of resources available to students to become better prepared to handle the costs of college. The survey noted that 77% of students think that the rising cost of purchasing textbooks is the biggest scam in the "college economy". Using websites such as BookRenter to rent your textbooks will allow you to save money and time while in college.

she realizes she's messed up
that's progress
Give it time. You will work it out and your besties will dump you.
Like so many students who have no idea what they want.
Plus this is free.
Lessee…."If you admit you have a problem…that is a bad sign. If you deny you have a problem, that is another bad sign. And if you aren't sure you have a problem, i'll set an appointment with you for next week to discuss your issues with decision-making…."
No, your first statement is wrong. "If you admit to a problem you do have, that is a good sign." Notice the wording, very important.
Yeah, and later on, Phelps starts counseling from the other side of her desk.

The Dallas Stars registered only 15 shots, but a pair ended up behind Nikolai Khabibulin while another slid into the empty cage. Sam Gagner added a late tally to put the home side on the board, but it wasn't enough as the Oilers' sputtering attack resulted in a 3-1 loss Friday night.
The Oilers got the game's best chance six minutes in when a strong fourth line sequence allowed Eric Belanger to dish to Ryan Jones in the slot. No. 28 collected the pass and attempted to swing around the defender, but his along-the-ice backhand shot was stopped by the challenging netminder.
As the period's 10-minute mark passed, the Oilers held a 6-2 shot lead but scoring chances on either side continued to be limited.
With 3:52 to play, Nick Schultz was charged with holding, putting the Stars' 14.5-percent power-play to work. With the visitors stuck at just three shots, the home side prevented any more, keeping the scoreless tie intact until the buzzer sounded.
Early on, the Oilers upped the pace with a quick-strike 2-on-1 opportunity. Jordan Eberle delivered a cross-ice pass to Lennart Petrell, who was being hounded by Trevor Daley, but his one-time backhand try was thwarted by a sliding Kari Lehtonen.
Although the Oilers were carrying the play territorially, Dallas was first to strike on the scoreboard. At 8:35 and from the corner, Eric Nystrom centered a pass into the crease area. The puck pinballed around and, whlie being mauled by Ryan Whitney, ex-Oiler Radek Dvorak was able to make contact and swipe the puck behind Khabibulin for the goal.
With 7:05 on the clock, the Stars extended to a 2-0 lead. Coming back to prevent the rush, Corey Potter inadvertently bulled into Khabibulin, causing him to slide behind the cage as the puck was centered. Tomas Vincour was quick to pounce, tapping the puck into the open cage as the Oilers' 39-year-old veteran scampered back into position.
After 40 minutes, the Oilers continued to lead in shots with a 16-10 advantage, but the Stars held a 2-0 lead where it counted.
57 seconds in, Schultz picked up his second minor of the night (the only two penalties to be called to this point) when he flipped the puck up and over the glass, resulting in a delay of game infraction. Much like the Stars' earlier advantage, it was killed off with ease without much of consequence directed on Khabibulin.
Midway through the period, the Petrell experiment came to an end with the kid line being reunited. Nugent-Hopkins, Hall and Eberle continued to generate chances as the 10-minute mark approached, but none could beat the netminder as the two-goal deficit remained.
As the game wound down, the same problems that plagued the home side all evening continued to persist: couldn't win a puck battle, couldn't retrieve loose pucks when they were there, incomplete stretch passes, nothing going on the rush. Perhaps most of all, nothing dangerous had been directed on goal.
As they had been all night, the Oilers continued to be a step behind.
With 1:48 to play, Dubnyk rushed to the bench for an extra-attacker. The Stars wasted little time in icing the outcome, as Michael Ryder launched the puck into the empty net at 18:32.
With just 30 seconds to the play, the Oilers gave their crowd something to cheer about. Ales Hemsky delivered a pretty cross-ice pass to Sam Gagner at the near hash marks, and No. 89 wasted little time in bulleting a one-timer post and in to make it a 3-1 game. But it was too little, too late as the Oilers dropped a 3-1 decision to the Stars.

Amazon Earnings Preview: Margins Are 'Big Wild Card'
Amazon.com is poised to report its quarterly results today after the bell. While analysts are pretty upbeat about the company's top-line growth, margins remain a key issue.
The company is often viewed as a gauge for the e-commerce industry and all signs point to another strong holiday-selling season. Analysts polled by Thomson Reuters anticipate earnings of 17 cents a share on revenue of about $18.3 billion.
Last quarter, however, the company gave margin guidance that was "wide enough to drive a delivery truck through, with the potential for considerable volatility," said Scott Tilghman, an analyst at Caris & Co.
"Gross margin remains arguably the biggest wildcard for 4Q," Mr. Tilghman said.
Amazon was hit hard last quarter by rising costs, as the company continued its heavy-spending ways on warehouses, data centers and digital-content offerings. The company has been investing heavily in cloud-storage business and the ability to support video streaming.
"Ultimately we believe Amazon needs to signal an easing of investment costs, somewhat regardless of 4Q results, in order for shares to move higher," Mr. Tilghman said.
Meanwhile, analysts expect Amazon sold about 5 million to 6 million Kindle Fire devices in the fourth quarter. It's unclear if Amazon will release specific results. The Kindle Fire has been a best seller on Amazon's site each week since it was introduced.
Jordan Rohan, an analyst at Stifel Nicolaus, estimates 6 million Kindle Fires were sold last month. From Rohan:
Investors have placed a tremendous focus on the hardware subsidy that Amazon is suffering in its introduction of Kindle and Kindle Fire at very competitive prices. To be sure, this could be a key reason for Amazon's low margin guidance for 4Q. However, we believe most investors have overlooked the potential upside of the sales of media (books and video) to be played on the new Kindle devices. We believe that software attach rates correlate inversely with the hardware price. From Amazon's perspective, this could drive real upside in its North American media segment revenues. From a cost perspective, the shift to digital delivery of content could help Amazon avoid costly "free" shipping subsidies. Hence, we believe there is a great deal more to the Kindle device strategy than most have discounted.
Youssef Squali, an equity analyst at Jefferies & Co., predicts the company's top-line strength should offset potential margin concerns.
We expect Amazon to report strong 4Q results, with potential revenue upside from Kindle sales. While increased sales of owned inventory and higher promotions/free-shipping are likely to keep margins under pressure short term, we remain positive on Amazon long term as it represents one of the best investment plays on secular growth in global e-commerce.
Aaron Kessler, an analyst at Raymond James, offers three key questions that must be asked on the conference call after earnings are released.
1) data points around Kindle Fire sales and content attachment 2) 1Q margin guidance and fulfillment and other investments for 2012 – we expect margins to stabilize/improve in 2H12, 3) commentary around an online sales tax and potential impact, 4) macro outlook – eBay/Google cited soft Germany (~10-15% of AMZN sales).

Market Rout in Europe's Periphery
It's not just the glorious sunshine today in London, long missed after an unseasonable absence. It's the bond yields, too. It's starting to look like summer. Summer 2011.
It was just about this time last year that Italian bond yields made a rapid spike amid fears that then-premier Silvio Berlusconi wouldn't carry through on promised economic reforms. Spain's yields followed, and the ECB stepped in to the market to stanch the bleeding (temporarily).
We're back. This time Spain is leading the way, and dragging Italy along with it. Spanish 10-year bond yields, after climbing a quarter of a percentage point Friday have done the same again this morning. The 10-year is now yielding 7.56%, a sky-high level that signifies extremely scarce demand for Spanish debt.
Liquidity is painfully thin. That yield, from Tradeweb, is the "bid" yield–the yield at which potential buyers are willing to take Spanish bonds. The ask yield, the yield at which sellers will part with them, is 7.39%. The wide spread between the two suggests there's not much action in the market.
This is a serious problem. Spain has tens of billions more of bonds to sell this year to cover its deficits.
What's going on today?
There's a confluence of unpleasant news out of Europe's troubled corners. Bailout inspectors arrive in Greece to assess that country's progress, and German politicians are steaming that not enough has been made. The Bank of Spain said Spain's economy contracted in the second quarter–a consequence of faltering demand–and reports indicated that several Spanish regions, which run their own finances to a large extent, will ask the central government for help. That adds to the sovereign's already-heavy burden: Spain is borrowing €100 billion ($122 billion) from the euro-zone bailout fund to recapitalize its banks.
The markets this morning make it look like the apocalypse–or at least a serious moment of truth for Spain–is nigh. The Italian 10-year bond yield is up to 6.40% and equity markets are in the red across the Continent. Spain's benchmark index is down 4.5%, to levels last seen nearly a decade ago. The Italian stock market is down 3.3% to three-year lows. And the beleaguered euro is off half a penny to $1.2107.
It's going to be a hot summer.

AbstractAccurate automatic spike detection is highly beneficial to clinical assessment of epileptic electroencephalogram (EEG) data. In this paper, a new two-stage approach is proposed for epileptic spike detection. First, the k-point nonlinear energy operator (k-NEO) is adopted to detect all possible spike candidates, then a newly proposed spike model with slow wave features is applied to these candidates for spike classification. Experimental results show that the proposed system, using the AdaBoost classifier, outperforms the conventional method in both two- and three-class EEG pattern classification problems. The proposed system not only achieves better accuracy for spike detection, but also provides new ability to differentiate between spikes and spikes with slow waves. Though spikes with slow waves occur frequently in epileptic EEGs, they are not used in conventional spike detection. Identifying spikes with slow waves allows the proposed system to have better capability for assisting clinical neurologists in routine EEG examinations and epileptic diagnosis.

Ianuk replied to Ianuk's topic in Ford Mondeo / Vignale ClubCheers for the reply. I only lowered it 30mm, apparently you don't have to change the shocks as ford use the springs on the sports version of the mondeo, which use the same shocks as mine.
Ianuk started following Lowering Advice
Ianuk posted a topic in Ford Mondeo / Vignale ClubI have recently lowered my mk4. Mondeo, makes a massive difference to handling compared to the stock springs. I used Ebiach springs that everyone seems to recommend on other threads. I have been doing some searching and I know I need to get it aligned and a local company not far from me has the hunter machine. But I'm getting a bit confused with other threads i have read on google. Do I need to get a camber kit for it? I thought and hope I can just get it aligned and have done. Or that's what i hope.

The new video, Eddie Torres Teaches Salsa Nightclub Style has just been released and now all salsa aficionados who have been shy about getting down on the dance floor, can take lessons from the maestro himself.
Eddie Torres caught the dancing bug as a young man, after being turned down by a love interest. It seems she rejected him in favor of a slick dancer. Eddie promised himself this would never happen again.
Twenty years later, Mr. Torres has not only mastered his dance floor skills, he has internalized his craft to a level of comprehension that makes him a recognized authority in salsa/Latin dancing. Teacher extraordinaire and choreographer, Eddie has found a way to take that knowledge to the next level. His new dance video teaches the whole world how to dance salsa with the Eddie Torres Dance Technique.
Salsa Dancing Nightclub Style opens with an introduction of elementary musical notions as they apply to dancing, such as what is a measure. Eddie then goes right into the basic step, which seems deceptively simple, but not when you factor in the timing, breaking on the two, swiveling the hips and making it all look good with style and pizazz.
The two ways to perform step patterns are called open position and partner work. In Spanish, the expression déjala que se defienda, let her shine... describes the spirit of the open position. The partners let go of each other and perform dance steps across from each other with more independence. Partner work requires a lot of coordination and practice. Salsa Nightclub Style teaches fourteen steps, (eight open work and six partner work patterns) in just under 2 hours. This means after you learn each step, it's up to you to practice, practice. With over 180 steps in Torres's repertoire, a sequel video is inevitable.
The breakdown of each step pattern is very clearly shown, making it easy to follow visually and through the instructions spoken by Torres. Geared towards both men and women, Torres breaks down each step pattern into men's timing and women's timing, since this is what allows the partners to dance opposite each other without crashing.
Even if you don't feel adventurous enough to take center stage, or to get up and take the dance class, Salsa Dancing Nightclub Style is fun to watch. While Eddie walks you through the patterns like the Suzie Q and the Front Double-Cross step, the attractive dancers demonstrate in an entertaining manner how to execute the steps, what to do with your hands, how to bob your shoulders, how to dance with style...
This is no longer plain ol' street dancing. A close look at this video will enhance your appreciation for salsa dancing, which is reaching levels of refinement it never knew before. The steps are marked with more precision and artistry and the repertoire of steps is continuously growing. There is a finesse in the execution sprinkled with Big Apple know-how and a dab of good ol' attitude. Who says salsa is dead?
For the women, dance shoes with heels and short skirts seem to accentuate the swaying hips. Salsa dancing is a sensuous dance. When performed well, it can make a man's heart skip a beat. Duplessey, Torres' beautiful niece wearing the red dress, personifies salsa's sensuality. Torres' dancers ooze confidence in their bodies, a confidence that builds as a dancer becomes more proficient.
Oscar Hernández (composer/arranger/pianist for Seis del Solar) wrote the instructional music, a series of rhythmic riffs that start with the bare rhythm of the conga and clave, then build till the rest of the instruments come together during the dance summary. The music was written in a tempo that is comfortable for the apprentice dancer. Tito Puente's "Fiesta a la King" and "Mambo Gozón" are performed in the nightclub scenes.
All in all, this video deserves a place in the Latin music aficionados collection. It's a must for Latin dance instructors and for salsa music lovers who want to learn how New Yorkers do the Latin, salsa dancingclub style.

Today, in an uncharacteristic display of "letting my OCD go" I've decided that it's high time to let some new blood in around here. Cross-pollination is a win for us all because you get to meet some of my awesome homies.
I don't know if you guys have met Anna, from her blog of initials that I can't remember because I invert shit ABDPBT.com. You don't have to remember the initials to know Anna, though, because she's smart as fuck and twice as bold.
If you want to know about blogging, ad networks, The Internet, monetizing the blog, and you want to know from someone who KNOWS HER SHIT, you want Anna. I respect the shit out of her because she's not afraid to stand up for herself and start stuff if she thinks there's something amiss and she does her homework.
I respect the hell out of Anna and I'm honored that she'd post for me. Especially a random post because OBVIOUSLY.
1. You say "Yes!" in an uncharacteristically lighthearted way because you love Aunt Becky and love her blog, and love her Merry Band of Pranksters.
2. You wish that you had your own Merry Band of Pranksters.
3. If you did, you would have them follow you around with instruments, though.
4. Moreso than that, you wish you had something to call your own posse of readers that was even remotely as cool as "Merry Band of Pranksters."
5. Dwell a few moments in envy, regret, and Diet-Coke fueled remorse.
6. Wonder if there would be a revolution of Pranksters once they realized that the Diet Coke would be served without vodka, even if only for one day.
7. One awful, dreary, vodka free day.
8. Clarify that you would gladly write about vodka if only vodka weren't such a colossal asshole to you that one time in college.
9. Also the ten or forty times after college.
10. Also don't forget about the time that vodka stole all your money and raped your dog.
11. You're don't really want to tell tales outside of school, but you think you saw vodka doing the wide stance in the airport bathroom with its intern.
12. And that was after vodka talking tough about the sanctity of marriage, too.
13. You're just saying.
14. People in glass bottles.
15. Wonder why you chose the list format, yet again, as if to suggest that you are incapable of writing in paragraphs, when actually, you CAN write in paragraphs. Long ones. Tedious and boring ones, even.
16. Shine on, Merry Band of Pranksters.
What are YOU random about today?
52 Responses to Things That Happen When The Proprietor Of A Blog Called "Mommy Wants Vodka" Asks You To Guest Post, And You're A Recovering Alcoholic, But Not One Of Those Uptight, In-Your-Face Kinds, More Of The Laid Back Ones, But Also The Sort That Tends Overthink Things in A Tiresome Way
i just love you. that was my random thought.
Fabulous. Absolutely fabulous.
Vodka – HA! I knew it. You ARE a trampy, trampy whore. And if you knock up my dog again, I'm not afraid to cut a bitch.
And that's why I'm sleeping with a gentleman named Jack. Because you're a bitch.
I so want a Merry Band of Pranksters. But I'd call them my LDs. Not LSD…that would be too obvious. But LDs. I heart my Little Dreamers.
And I totally heart Aunt Becky.
And cookies.
And chicken.
And swimmy pools.
And I need an IV of something alcoholic.
Jack and I had a falling out several years ago, and we haven't really spoken since.
The trouble was, in a moment of weakness, I agreed to a wildly out of control group thing with Jack and his buddies Jameson, Dewars, and some guy so slimy he only went by "Old Crow". I think even his Granddad got involved!! I felt very taken advantage of when I woke up the next day and realized what had happened.
Now me and Pabst hang out every few weeks, and that's about it.
But watch out for that Jack character. He's fucking kinky. Don't say I didn't warn you.
Quervo tried to get in my pants not long ago. I turned him down so hard not only did he f**k my dog, he peed all over my front yard..killing my grass!
Mondavi however, now there's a gentleman!
I knew vodka was a bitch! I tried to rid the world of it in high school, er, university, and failed. Vodka beat me (and I liked it a little).
But I really need to know: who is vodka's intern?
Would vodka wear purple tights to the White House, do you think?
I bet yes.
Also, I heard vodka got a loaner washing machine that beeps.
I mean, sure, I'd heard rumors about vodka before. Whispers had been shared. Secret fears vocalized.
But to read about it so blatantly.
Vodka – I'd believed in you.
I'm not sure I can forgive you this time.
This reply makes the entire blog that much funnier! Nice work Megan!
You mean Aunt Becky doesn't have people following her around playing music?
Vodka was a colossal asshole that one time in college to you too? I gave it the smackdown, and it has been on it's best behavior since, though…it stays in the bottle.
This Momma Wants Gin. And tonic. And lemon. Got to get those 5-10 a day.
I have been inspired to change the name of my blog to Peggy wants Tranxene and Tequila Rose in the spirit of Mommy wants vodka. Full disclosure ppl. I am putting it all out there. Or I could rename my blog Kidlets want benedryl. I dunno. Maybe not.
Bring on the guest bloggers. We won't harass them. Very much.
I cheated on Vodka one time with Scotch, I admit it. I was walking around, feeling all the shit, thinking I'd gotten away with it, but then Vodka got a hold of my cell phone and saw some texts I didn't delete, and so I got busted. Vodka took me back (after I begged for like two hours, stood outside Vodka's window with Peter Gabriel on my boom box, you know how it is), but sure as hell made me pay for it later.
And who did you blow Melissa to get special treatment? How does Melissa's picture show but we are all just shadow ppl? Hmmm? I see how it is Melissa.
I always assumed we were supposed to follow Aunt Becky around with instruments if we saw her in person. Like the minstrels Monty Python & the Holy Grail followed Sir Robin around singing about his exploits "He bravely turned his tail and fled" only we'd sing about Dexter or whatever Aunt Becky was doing at the time. SHould make a hell of a fun cruise
Dear Stacy – Any woman who can quote the songs of Robin's Minstrels is my kind of gal.
Personally I have remained faithful to tequila. You always know exactly where you stand, or pass out, with tequila. Not that you can trust tequila, but tequila never claimed you could. It's always been open about nature so there are no surprises when tequila leaves you in underwear and hiking boots on the top of a water tower at the crack of dawn. You always knew it was a possibility.
Vodka and I are on friendly terms. Not quite "hey come over, get naked and get in my hot tub" terms, but we had an understanding that vodka could do what it wanted who whom it wanted to do it with, as long as the next time it came around it brought it's good friend Apple Pucker to keep it in line. Otherwise vodka is a bitch and tends to get in trouble with the police. Tequila and I though… we were Turner & Hooch, Laverne & Shirley, always there for each other and of course tequila is always allowed naked in my hot tub… well it would be if I had one.
Other ramdomness.. Aunt Becky is the shiznit… but we already knew that.
Vodka is my friend. A very good friend, if you consider a good friend the kind that you have an awesome time with…. such an awesome time that you do things that you wouldn't normally consider doing. Then the morning comes and vodka has run off sometime while you are sleeping and you feel like crap and full of regret.
aaahhh vodka. I choose to think about the good times and not the morning after. When vodka and I get together we have our own special language that only 'we' understand….
Vodka and I have a love song. Maybe you have heard it?? Tone loc… Funky Cold Medina
Vodka and I are simply polite acquaintances. Nothing too intimate, really.
Jagermeister, on the other hand…
We won't talk about last Halloween. Or the pool. Or the lack of a bathing suit.
#4, yes definitely #4. Only it's less of a posse and more like a small grouping. But what to call them. Merry Band of Prankster? That's Aunt Becky's. Little Monsters? That's Lady Gaga's. Disciples? Those belong to Jesus M. Christ. Now I'm going to have to think of something. Dammit.
"Clarify that you would gladly write about vodka if only vodka weren't such a colossal asshole to you that one time in college."…made me nod because I remember that day all too well….too well. It was bad.
I'm random about cleaning today…I've started on laundry, started on dishes, started on washing the kitchen floor, started on cleaning the showers……..But not finishing a darn thing. I'll do that once the kids go to sleep
Can I write one of these about goats?
I don't know. Goats are creepy.
I don't know about the goats. Goats are creepy.
Dude! Vodka is my HOMEGIRL!! Ever since Jack and I ended things all those years ago, Vodka has been MY co-pilot!! Sure, she says some cray-zay shiz sometimes, but who doesn't?
I think I just peed in my pants a little.
Okay, not think. Did.
Today I'm random about my hair. After months of hemming and hawing, I'm going to walk into a salon and just be all, "You there. You got scissors? Trim me."
Vodka and are are friendly, but I like to Get Down with the imported beer and the wine. Those are my homies. Mixing drinks is too much damn work – give me my churchkey or my corkscrew, hand me the glass, and it's a good day.
I'd love to follow Becky around while playing the flute and drinking wine. Wait, can I even do those at the same time???
Random my ass! I am very focused today.
Focused on precision marksmanship with my M-4 rifle. Focused on not crashing my G-ride on the B-W parkway (that's Baltimore-Washington). Focused on skivving off from work 20 minutes early. Focused on taking a nap after I post this, Focused on having Aunt Becky guest post at my blog. Focused on Aunt Becky askng me to post on her blog, which is total witshful thinking, because, like that shit ain't happening, yo (I said yo, everyone laugh). Focused on having to go to WalMart for "paper products", and looking forward to seeing what kind of weirdos and oddballs I will see there.
See that? totally focused heere, Comrade Becky. Not a random thought in my head today… even though I am giving just a wee bit of energy into thinking about using the aforementioned M-4 to kill the driver of that bloody awful ice cream truck on my block whose truck is playing that goddamned "Turkey in The Straw" song over and over.
Have you been drinking already today?
How refreshing! I know Vodka and yeah, total bitch. She has a friend named Chardonnay who has pulled similar pranks on me. Not really funny. Yo.
As usual, you are hurling accusations at perfectly innocent people…er…beverages whose only desire is to help others. Clearly you have paranoid delusions of Oedipal reaction formations. I TA'd an intro psych class so I know whereof I speak.
Best. Reply. Ever. Vodka.
I have had my share of trials & tribulations with Vodka as well. But try as I might, I simply can't walk away…her wit and singing voice are at times, unfallible. The shitkicking that follows the next day, hwowever, is not. sigh.
i love a woman with lists….especially one so randomly sequential!
Awww, Anna!! I love your blog, I'm so glad you guest posted for mah Aunt Becky!! 🙂
I love randomness and you do it with such style.
I lurves me wodkas. Gotta watch that Cap'n Morgan feller tho! I start singing about Brave Sir Robin!
Today I'm random about crazy people calling the locals and crying because they think the police are looking for them and they are going to jail. Also people who assault others then run away leaving a trail of clothing. I can write the BOLO myself: look for the wigged-out naked tweaker. Also Cheetos and Reese's Pieces and Mountain Dew. Together.
See? Totes random in my little world.
Vodka is my bestie!!
I mean… she will take me out on the town and insist I do crazy sh*t and because I love her so, I will do that crazy sh*t. I dance a little wobblier and sing a little louder. But does Vodka care?? Heck, no! She says, "Bring it!" THAT is why I love Vodka so!!!
I have to tell you…
I came from SoccerMom's page because I thought WHAT THE HOLY HELL KIND OF FREAKISHLY LONG blog post name is that??? That I just had to pop over and check it out! LOL
I feel like starting a second blog. One I'll do at night: just drinking and blogging and no friends chanting "friends don't let friends blog drunk" can stop me….
Vodka taught me Russian. Once I'd learned it I dropped him cold – too intense for me. Picked up with white wine for a while to learn French but it wasn't the same.
aunt becky,
i come from a long line of bourbon drinkers…just another thing that leads me to believe we will get along splendidly at the family reunion:)
not being reared on vodka has led to just a couple of minor incidents, where, luckily, no incarceration was necessary. in my defense, there was music playing and i kept all my clothes on. plus, i'm a lover, not a fighter…my prankster antics were all in good fun. my ban from this establishment has only recently been lifted…so what do you think…should i live on the edge and order a vodka tonight?
Randomness: you has it.
unfortunately when i was in a cheatin' mood this last week – the only thing in my house was a scary bottle of balinese rice wine…even on ice it tasted like 5 day old chinese leftovers scraped from the bottom of the bowl and covered in soy sauce – and not the good kinda soy sauce, like but like that stuff you get in the plastic sachets.
someone please bring me a nice bottle of bison grass vodka stat!

PORTLAND/SANFORD — On Wednesday, June 5, Maine's First Lady Ann M. LePage and former First Lady Barbara Bush and her daughter, Doro Bush Koch, unveiled the "Love. Read. Learn" Baby Journal for parents of newborns in the state.
The event took place at The Barbara Bush Children's Hospital at Maine Medical Center in Portland.
First Lady LePage's colorful Baby Journal was created in partnership with the Barbara Bush Foundation for Family Literacy. Using illustrations created by Maine students, it's an engaging and educational scrapbook-style journal filled with reading and learning tips, plus child wellness information.
Sanford Junior High School eighth-grader Emilee Morgan drew one of the illustrations that appear in the book.
With the support of sponsors, including Maine Families and Harold Alfond College Challenge, the journal will be distributed as a gift to new parents at hospitals statewide.
After the unveiling, LePage and Bush visited mothers with newborns at the hospital and personally presented them with copies of the Baby Journal.

Food Fridays: Crocodile Ice Cream Carries a Bite in the Philippines
DAVAO CITY, The Philippines–Almost everything at Crocodile Park in the southern Philippines is centered around the sharp-toothed reptile – even the ice cream.
Unlike regular ice cream producers, the Crocodile Ice Cream shop uses yolks from crocodile eggs to make the cold confection, which it sells in two flavors: durian, a stinky fruit native to Southeast Asia; and pandan, a tropical leaf used to flavor many Philippine dishes.
Owner Bianca Dizon, who also manages the small parlor, calls it a great place for a sweet ending following a visit to Crocodile Park, a major tourist attraction in Davao City that also farms out crocodile meat.
"These are curious people," she says, who after visiting the park "like to try our exotic ice cream."
In addition to crocodile durian and pandan, the shop also offers vanilla ostrich flavor, made from ostrich eggs.
More traditional flavors made without crocodile eggs are available, including chocolate, coffee and cookies and cream. Fruit flavors include the playfully named mango mazing and banana nuts. And then there's cheezee cheese, made from cheddar.
According to Ms. Dizon, crocodile ice cream is actually more nutritious than its classic counterparts since it contains less cholesterol. Crocodile eggs also provide more protein than ordinary chicken eggs, she says. And "compared to most other meats, crocodile meat is low in fat and low in calories."
The genius behind the ice cream shop's exotic flavors is Bianca's first cousin, 30- year-old chef Dino Dizon – also known as the "Crocodile Chef."
In April 2011, Mr. Dizon introduced crocodile ice cream as an experiment after his uncle, who owns the crocodile complex, gave him and Bianca some crocodile eggs. "We didn't know what to do with them," says Ms. Dizon. "So we decided to put them in ice cream."
Thanks to word of mouth, their unique concoction has slowly gained popularity. Today, there is a growing market of locals and tourists who order the ice cream by the tub, says Ms. Dizon.
"You can really taste the difference and realize how the crocodile egg yolks enhance the texture of the ice cream," she says. "It's so smooth and creamy."
It is also artisan, which means that the ice cream is made in small batches, and is flavored with fresh fruit from the Dizon's family farm in Davao.
The crocodile durian ice cream, for example, includes whole chunks of the smelly, custard-like fruit. Known for its strong odor, durian has an almost tangy flavor followed by a near putrid aftertaste that will linger for several minutes. Despite the strong flavor, Ms. Dizon says it is the best-selling ice cream on the menu.
The crocodile pandan blends in the long, fragrant green leaves that give many sweets in the Philippines their unique flavor and aroma.
Ms. Dizon was going to nursing school in the United States when she decided to pack her bags and move home to help her father Philip run the family business, which includes not only the crocodile park and farm, but also Riverwalk Grill. When Chef Dino is not whipping up batches of his unique ice cream, he works at the restaurant preparing crocodile sausage, steak and roast rib, as well as various crocodile pastas.
To learn more about cooking, Ms. Dizon attended the Center for Asian Culinary Studies in Davao for six months, but admits that she is still a novice chef.
As far as she's aware, the family's ice cream parlor is the first to offer such a unique spin on a classic dessert. And as long as word keeps spreading, it's not about to stop producing, she says.
How to make crocodile ice cream
1. In a mixing bowl, whisk 12 crocodile egg yolks with 1/2 kilogram of sugar. Whisk until totally emulsified.
2. Add in 2 liters of milk, then mix.
3. Pour custard in a pot and put on low heat, stirring the custard constantly. Make sure to scrape the bottom of the saucepan with a spoon or spatula to prevent any of the mixture from sticking. When the custard forms a light coat on the back of the spoon or spatula, it is ready.
4. Combine the custard with heavy cream. Pour the custard mixture through a strainer, into the heavy cream.
5. Add in fresh ingredients (durian) and combine.
6. Chill overnight.
7. Pour into ice cream machine.
The recipe yields three gallons of ice cream. For three gallons of vanilla ostrich, substitute the 12 crocodile eggs with one whole ostrich egg.

The Marietta High soccer teams appear to be in good shape going in to the 2013 season, as the boys and girls were each victorious in scrimmages over Barberton Monday at Marietta College.
Brent Huck scored three goals, including two in a span of three minutes to open the second half to pace the Tigers to a 5-1 victory over the Magics, while the Lady Tigers won by a score of 4-3.
For the second consecutive summer, Barberton is in town for a teen camp at Marietta College and the Tigers have provided a viable sparring partner for the Magics before they head back north.
Article Photos
JORDAN HOLLAND The Marietta Times
Marietta's Katie Miller handles the ball during a scrimmage Monday against Barberton. Miller scored two goals in a 4-3 Marietta win.
It is also provides an opportunity for MHS head coach Todd Morris to get an sneak peek at his squad with the opening of the 2013 soccer season just six weeks away.
"I didn't know what to expect tonight as this is the first time we have had 11 men on the field at one time this year," said Morris, the 2012 East Central Ohio League coach of the year. "For the first day of July with no coaching, I'm very pleased with the way they played."
Barberton has won some 46 games over the past four seasons but it would be the two-time defending ECOL champion Tigers who applied the pressure early and often Monday evening.
Huck scored the first of his three goals with a little more than six minutes off of the clock to give MHS a 1-0 lead.
Huck will be going into his senior year this fall after garnering second team All-Ohio honors in 2012.
"We should have a really good senior class this fall led by Brent (Huck), said Morris, whose team posted an 11-4-3 record last year. "He's going to be an integral part of what we do. He works hard and he's talented and you put those two things together, that's a pretty good combination."
Huck played only about half of the game for the Tigers and while he was on the bench in the opening half, Grant Gandor provided the offense for the orange and black as his goal with 16:20 to play made it 2-0.
It would take Huck just three minutes into the second half to connect on his second goal to make it 3-0 and after Barberton scored its lone goal a minute later, Huck answered in the 45th minute to make it 4-1.
Marietta's Jared Feathers capped the scoring with a goal with 15 minutes to play.
MHS 2012 All-District keeper Eric Pierce had a rather uneventful night between the pipes as he allowed just the one goal while coming up with one keeper save in the game.
Despite being happy with his squad's first test of the season, Morris sees plenty of areas that the Tigers will need to improve upon if they plan to repeat as conference champions for a third consecutive season.
"Some of our "off the ball" movement and some of our passes weren't as crisp as I would like," said Morris. "We had a few issues with finishing but these are all things that we can work on and be ready when these games are for real."
The Lady Tigers got an offseason confidence-boost as they came away on the winning side of a tightly-contested scrimmage versus the Lady Magics.
Katie Miller, who will be a senior in the fall, put in two goals and assisted on another to lead the orange and black. Miller was second on the team in goals last year to Molly Josefson, who graduated. Miller figures to be one of the top offensive threats for MHS again this fall.
The Jeff Price-coached squad jumped on top with Miller's goal in the 14th minute of the first half. After getting ahead 2-0, Barberton tied things up with a goal right before halftime and then another shortly after.
Miller scored her second unassisted goal of the afternoon with 14:22 left in the match to put Marietta back on top. From there, the two squads traded a goal apiece to give the Tigers a 4-3 win.
Nora Gulick notched three saves for the Lady Tigers. Marietta attempted nine shots to Barberton's 10.

The front of the BMW i3 makes the vehicle immediately recognisable as a member of the BMW family. The modern interpretation of the kidney grille as well as the clear LED headlights (optional) with the U-shaped daytime running lights immediately catch the eye. As an indication of the emission-free electric drive, the kidney grille is fully closed since no cooling air needs to flow through it. Depending on the exterior colour, the kidney grille is additionally accentuated by an accent colour in BMW i Blue or Frozen Grey. The front hood with the underlying storage space (smartbox) comes in high-gloss black in all versions.
The sculptured front apron sits below the kidney grille. Towards the side, the front apron element defines the edges of the vehicle with precise, vertically-standing edges which underscore the stable footing of the BMW i3.
The consistently sustainable design of the BMW i3 makes it the perfect vehicle for urban environments in the megacity: driven by pure electric power and customised for the requirements of a sustainable and emission-free mobility, it embodies an intelligent form of travel. The vehicle represents an integrated and harmonious concept where every detail has been optimised to its purpose. This can be seen in the functionally dynamic exterior and in the clean and reduced interior space.
