Pisco Sours at La Mar are Good. Really Good.
I visited the enormous new Peruvian sensation La Mar over the weekend, mostly because I wanted to try their Pisco Sours. They were terrific. I don't know what they do for the egg-white foam on the top, which was as firm and lasting as a good brick wall (our server said they use "pasteurized egg whites"), but the entire drink was delicious. It had that lovely limey-floral high tone of a good Pisco Sour, the requisite topping of bitters, and went down incredibly smoothly. I highly recommend.

This hotel is pretty and the staff is kind. They look after you with anything you need. The tours are EXTREMELY expensive, beware of the alabaster factory bullies that guilt trip you to overspend, but Luxor survives on tourism. I had a private guide everyday take me everywhere. Most of the sites were empty, tourism has declined due to bad media coverage of Egypt. It's a nice country and I felt safe and I'll return. I would recommend staying here, the atmosphere is lovely and the food is great.
Dear guest, Thank you so much for your recent stay and for sharing your feedback. This way we can work on improving our service if necessary. We believe our tour prices are fair for the quality we provide, and it allows our guests to have a private guide that takes them everywhere they wish to go. And also prices are always agreed upon beforehand so there are no surprises at the end. Overall we are very happy to hear you felt safe and you enjoyed the atmosphere. And we are also happy to share that at the moment tourism in Luxor is starting to flourish once again! We hope to welcome you another time in our hotel.

Ask a Question
The Lodge
The Rios Tropicales Lodge, located along the Pacuare River, offers a haven for relaxation and immersion in tropical sights and sounds. The clean energy, sustainable lodge offers you a variety of accommodation and activity options.
If you close your eyes and imagine what a genuine eco-lodge deep in the rainforest could be like, you might think of beautiful tropical gardens framing native wood lodge rooms, open air gathering pavilions with thatched roofs and comfortable hammocks swinging in a gentle breeze, ample viewing decks for watching the toucans fly overhead and the river dance along its rapids.
Good imagination! This is exactly what you will experience at Rios Tropicales Lodge. It is the first eco-lodge built on the Pacuare and the only one powered with hydro-generated electricity for a clean sustainable energy source.
The 1500 Acre Private Reserve:
Rio Tropicales rainforest lodge is located on a 1500 acre private reserve at the mouth of the Pacuare Gorge, inside the Pacuare Protected Zone. This private reserve borders the indigenous Cabecar Indian Reserve and contains more than 40 miles of hiking trails and numerous waterfalls, streams, and pools. There are two ways to access the lodge, via rafting in on the Pacuare River, or hiking in along a trail. The various accommodations are set on the mountainside at varying slope heights, affording fantastic views of the river and the dense rainforest surroundings.
Lodge Accommodations
This rainforest Lodge offers airy, elegantly simple and well-appointed rooms set in small clusters overlooking the Pacuare River. Each has a private bathroom with stone-lined showers, plenty of hot water, and electrical outlets. Additional lodging options include expanded family rooms with bunkbeds, twin beds, and double beds and private baths. There is a series of bunkhouses set back up the hillside, perfect for school and youth groups, with group bathroom facilities. All lodging options enjoy hot showers, electricity, and decks for viewing the jungle and/or river.
Premium Rooms:
The premium rooms were renovated in the winter of 2007/08 and enjoy the best views of the river, balconies, beautiful dark native wood furniture of beds and small bedside tables, ample screened in windows with roll-up bamboo shades, and native slate-lined showers. Artwork, furniture, rugs, and linens were, of course, all brought into the lodge via raft, as with everything at the lodge.
Standard Lodge Rooms & Family Rooms:
Additional lodge rooms are similar to the premium rooms, without the slate-lined showers and almost as good of a view. The family rooms are basic, clean, and have private bathrooms.
The bunkhouses are perfect for school groups and other budget travelers. Each bunkhouse has between 4 to 8 bunk-beds to a room.
Central Community Areas:
All rooms are designed for you to enjoy a peaceful night's rest, but not to overly encourage you to stay in your room during your lodge visit. There are no regular tables in the rooms. Instead, ample tables for board or card games, reading areas with rocking chairs, and lazy colorful hammocks are intentionally placed in the open air dining and gathering areas. Prime views of the river, the rainforest, and even the overhead ziplines dominate these locations.
Complete Bathrooms with Hot Showers: Absolutely! Enjoy an aesthetically rich native stone-lined shower with plenty of hot water after your day of adventure. Ahh, roughing it was never this wonderful. All private rooms also have private bathrooms. The bunkhouses have shared bathrooms.
Recharge all of your equipment in the comfort of your lodge room, thanks to a hydro-powered, clean energy generator. The lodge knows it is stressful to the MAX to run out of battery power in the middle of a multi-day adventure vacation. At this lodge, you don't have to worry about it! Convenient & hassle-free, you won't have to worry about batteries dying with your equipment. (Ok, you do have to remember to bring your portable recharger. Regular 110V outlets - no adapters needed.)
Guests do dine by candlelight every evening, and it's believed that with clean energy guests can embrace those items that require electricity in a uniquely responsible 21st Century way.
Walking Bridges and Trails:
It is easy to get between cabins, rooms, and the main lodge area, as well as to other areas of the private reserve, through the carefully built walking bridges (including a hanging bridge over the river to access the far side of the reserve. Footpaths are well-cared for and well-marked. Hotel staff was careful to use existing Indian paths as much as possible, and minimized the building of new trails. A numbered nature trail of about one and a half miles one way highlights most of the trees in our reserve. Steps have been constructed into the steep hillside behind the main lodge area, that lead all the way to the beginning of the exciting canopy zipline course.
Rio Tropicales works hard to buy as much of their produce, meats, and fish from the local communities near the lodge. Doing so supports local economies, encourages sustainable farming practices, and guarantees the freshest foods on your table. All meals are part of your all-inclusive vacation package, with the exception of beer and wine. Both are available for purchase separately.
This tropical paradise delivers on fresh fruit like pineapple, papaya, mango, bananas, and melons. Besides a bountiful supply of fresh fruit at all meals at the lodge, breakfast includes banana pancakes, fresh bacon or sausage, farm-fresh eggs, juices, breads, and an assortment of international items like pastries. Enjoy a bottomless cup of fresh, handpicked Costa Rican coffee with milk or cream available. (Costa Ricans typically take milk with their coffee, not cream. Cream is provided as well, because you like it!)
Lunches are either at the lodge on a layover day, or as picnics during your adventure activity. Lunches include fresh tropical fruit, salad choices, deli sandwiches, juices, and healthy snacks to accommodate most diets and preferences.
Jungle Appetizers & Cocktail Hour:
Every day hotel staff serves Jungle Punch cocktails at 5pm, accompanied by an assortment of hor d'euvres. Did you know that because Costa Rica is located so close to the equator, sunrise and sunset remain at within an hour time frame all 365 days of the year? Sunrise falls between 5am and 6am, and sunset falls between 5pm and 6pm, depending on the time of year.
Classic dinner is Jungle Chicken, developed on the Pacuare River more than 20 years ago and cooked by your guides to perfection. A savory combination of vegetables, rice, and chicken, it is a favorite of our guests for years. Fresh produce, salads, breads, and a variety of locally farmed beef, chicken, and fish, are served at the lodge. Vegetarian options are always available.
Dinner is served by candlelight overlooking the river as the sun sets. The jungle transforms from its daylight personality to its nocturnal one, in the process coming alive with a rich cacophony of sounds. Dinners at the lodge are sure to be a highlight of your trip.
Conservation Partnerships
Rio Tropicales has developed partnerships with many organizations dedicated to protecting both the country and the planet's resources.
• The National Forestry Financing Fund (Fondo Nacional de Financiamiento Forestal or FONAFIFO) was established in 1996 to promote the management of forests and strengthen the development of the natural resources sector. Rios Tropicales works with them to reforest areas within the reserve to offset pollution in other areas.
• Through a partnership with the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), Rios Tropicales has pledged to plant 10,000 trees to contribute to the reforesting of the rainforest as part of a worldwide UN-sponsored tree-planting program. They are more than halfway to their goal at 5,200 planted so far.
• In 1994, Rios Tropicales founded the Fundacion Rios Tropicales (FRT), a non-profit environmental organization to assist in the preservation, protection and restoration of the rivers, streams and watersheds of Costa Rica. The Foundation recently launched environmental education programs in elementary schools throughout Costa Rica, with the goal of educating children about the rivers of their community and their impact upon them. At the end of each course, participants are presented with a seedling, which is planted in the community as an effort to reforest the watershed.
What's Included During Your Adventure Lodge Stay:
• Great Meals prepared by your talented guides. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner, plus cocktails and hor d'oeuvres, of course! Wine and beer is available separately.
Accommodations to Fit Every Aesthetic and Budget:
• From luxury lodge rooms overlooking the river to rustic bunkhouses set back on the hillside, with private bathrooms, hot showers, electricity, and decks for scenic views.
Find out how the lodge was built and how it is operated, using sustainable business practices for environment, culture, and social well-being of surrounding communities
Meet the community members who live at and manage the lodge and private reserve.

Most Americans trust the military and scientists to act in the public's interest
Three-quarters or more of Americans are confident in the military, medical scientists and scientists in general to act in the best interests of the public. But fewer than half report similar confidence in the news media, business leaders and elected officials.
Most U.S. Catholics rely heavily on their own conscience for moral guidance
Despite Pope Francis' overwhelming popularity, few U.S. Catholics say they turn to the pope "a great deal" for guidance on difficult moral questions.
Pope's proclamation, like views of U.S. Catholics, indicates openness to nontraditional families
Six-in-ten Catholics say the church should allow those who are divorced and have remarried without obtaining an annulment to receive Communion, according to a 2015 Pew Research Center Survey.
Women relatively rare in top positions of religious leadership
We looked at nine major religious organizations in the U.S. that both ordain women and allow them to hold top leadership slots.
5 facts about Mexico and immigration to the U.S.
From 1965 to 2015, more than 16 million Mexicans migrated to the U.S. in one of the largest mass migrations in modern history. But Mexican migration to the U.S. has slowed in recent years. Today, Mexico also increasingly serves as a land bridge for Central American immigrants traveling to the U.S.
Concern for Christians in the Middle East helps drive historic meeting between Catholic, Orthodox leaders
A historic event within global Christianity is set to take place Friday as Pope Francis meets Russian Orthodox Patriarch Kirill in Cuba – the first-ever meeting between the leaders of the Catholic and Russian Orthodox churches since the Orthodox tradition broke away from Catholicism nearly 1,000 years ago.
A snapshot of Catholics in Mexico, Pope Francis' next stop
Mexico is home to not only the largest Spanish-speaking population in the world, but one of the biggest Catholic populations, too.
Positive Impact of Pope Francis on Views of the Church
Pope Francis has generated goodwill toward the Catholic Church among many Americans across the political spectrum. Democrats and liberals are especially likely to say they now have a more positive view of the church.
Seven-in-ten people globally live on $10 or less per day
The urgency expressed by Pope Francis on global poverty and inequality is grounded in harsh reality. 4.4 billion people – 71% of the global population of 6.2 billion – lived on $10 or less per day in 2011, according to a Pew Research Center analysis of the most recently available data.
A closer look at Catholics in Washington, New York and Philadelphia
On his first papal trip to the U. S., Pope Francis will visit three Northeastern cities that are within a few hundred miles of each other. But while New York City, Philadelphia and Washington, D.C., may be geographically close, their Catholic populations look different from one another in several ways.

What is wrong?!
What is wrong with the children of today?! Today I was out for a walk – a very cool and metal walk. I meet some 10 years old school children. One of them shout "Give me five, OLD MAN! I gave him five but I gave him five in his fucking face… – in my mind…
See you!

NFC Times Exclusive Insight – Rabobank, one of the big three banks in the Netherlands, announced it will make debit cards for its Rabo Wallet available on NFC SIM cards issued by No. 1 Dutch telco KPN starting in the spring, after having anchored the wallet to embedded chips in Samsung flagship phones starting last year.
NFC Times Exclusive – More than two-thirds of users of the ING Bank's HCE-based mobile payments service in the Netherlands opt for no PIN entry and prefer to tap their phones for very low-value amounts, according to bank, which launched one of the first HCE mobile payments services in Western Europe in late November.
NFC Times Exclusive Insight – Dutch bank Rabobank has launched an NFC-enabled mobile wallet, storing a debit application on embedded secure elements in two older Samsung Android devices, which the bank claims is the first NFC mobile payments launch in the country.
NFC Times Exclusive: Whereas three years ago, major banks and telcos in the Netherlands looked like they would move forward together on NFC mobile payments, with plans to form a first-of-its kind joint venture, the situation today promises to be much different.
The three major banks in the Netherlands, ING, ABN AMRO and Rabobank, have formed a temporary group to launch a large NFC trial in the Dutch city of Leiden with mobile operator KPN.
PARIS, France – MasterCard Worldwide and ING bank have launched a trial in the Netherlands enabling bank staffers to shop on the Web and then make online payments with a PayPass application stored on a secure element in their NFC phones.
Dutch mobile operators and banks have decided not to form a joint venture to roll out NFC services together, saying "developments in the market" were responsible for ending the deal that was nearly three years in the making.
U.S.-based global product safety and testing company UL has acquired Netherlands-based NFC and smart card consulting and test tools firm Collis, which has worked with NFC joint ventures that have formed or are planned in the United States, United Kingdom and the Netherlands.
Major mobile operators and banks in the Netherlands say they plan to launch their NFC mobile-payment project in early 2013 as they await approval from European regulators for their planned joint venture.
Dutch operators and banks plan to launch NFC services in the second or third quarter of 2012, probably starting in a small city followed by a nationwide launch weeks later, Peter Van Leeuwen, strategy and business development manager for mobile operator KPN, reportedly said.
NFC Times Exclusive Insight – As "Pays" mobile payments services, such as Apple Pay and Samsung Pay, continue to expand internationally, domestic debit networks and their payments technology providers want to be ready to enable banks to plug into the new wallets, if and when they launch.
NFC Times Exclusive – U.S.-based Citigroup plans to soon launch its own NFC-based mobile payments service, Citi Pay, in the U.S. and Asia, in part using technology from Mastercard, NFC Times has learned.
NFC Times Exclusive – As Apple moves closer to launching Apple Pay in Japan, the FeliCa-based service is opening up business opportunities for third-party technology suppliers, unlike most other countries where Apple Pay has launched.
NFC Times Exclusive Insight – Following the initial soft launch of its NFC payments service in its home base, Sweden-based Seamless Distribution, the parent company of the SEQR wallet, is enabling HCE for all European users as it seeks global acceptance of its proprietary mobile payments service.
Exclusive NFC Times Insight – Less than a week after Samsung switched on its mobile payments service in Russia, Apple has launched Apple Pay in the country, continuing the international expansion of its NFC payments service to a 10th market.
NFC Times Exclusive Insight – If a planned acquisition by Qualcomm of NXP Semiconductors, as reported, were to go through, it would not affect supplies of NFC chips to smartphone makers using other processor chips, said an expert.
UPDATED: NFC Times Excusive Insight – Samsung Pay is expected to launch in Russia tomorrow, beating Apple to the market, which disclosed earlier this month that it plans a Russian launch of Apple Pay before the end of the year.
NFC Times Exclusive – In the first cases of its kind to come to light, two of Taiwan's largest telcos are planning to support host card emulation in their wallets, as they seek to overcome problems with their joint TSM and to prepare for the coming of OEM Pay to Taiwan, expected in the first quarter of next year, NFC Times has learned.
NFC Times Exclusive – With the expected arrival of such OEM Pay services as Apple Pay and Samsung Pay as early as the first quarter of next year, Taiwan's major telcos are gearing up to keep their own mobile wallets competitive.
NFC Times Exclusive – Czech banks are looking to capitalize on a growing contactless point-of-sale infrastructure in the country, with two of the five largest banks there having already launched HCE-based mobile payments and the others looking to join the market, NFC Times has learned.
NFC Times Exclusive – The planned launch of NFC transit ticketing in Japan next month with Apple Pay shined the spotlight on the emergence of closed-loop NFC transit ticketing–which has been seen as a prime application for NFC phones but one that has disappointed NFC backers for years.
NFC Times Exclusive Insight – Agreements that were announced with Visa, Discover and, last week, Mastercard may finally help PayPal reverse years of failed attempts to enable customers to pay with its PayPal Wallet in stores.

Success in the New Education Age
Keynote Speaker Richard Gerver
Richard Gerver is the guest speaker for PCC's biggest staff and faculty event.
PCC welcomes renowned educator, author and innovator Richard Gerver as our In-Service keynote speaker. Gerver will explore the role of education in a rapidly changing world, the challenges we face, and the adaptations we need to make in order to empower our students and prepare them for success.
Gerver began a teaching career in 1992 and quickly established a reputation as a leader in education. In 1997, he was recognized as one of the most outstanding teachers in Great Britain, and in 2005, he won the prestigious "School Head Teacher of the Year Award" at the British National Teaching Awards for transforming a school on the brink of closure into one of the most innovative schools in the world.
Gerver served as an adviser on education policy to Tony Blair's Government and co-founded The Curriculum Foundation, an organization that helps schools and authorities around the world develop education systems that reflect current challenges for students. He is also an author whose book on education transformation, Creating Tomorrow's Schools Today, was a global best-seller.
Following the In-Service program, Richard Gerver will sign copies of his book, Creating Tomorrow's Schools Today: Education - Our Children - Their Futures, until 12pm in the HT Gym.
PCC President Search
The Board of Directors wants to hear from you
President Preston Pulliams will be retiring at the end of the school year after nine successful years of service, and the search is on to find a new president who will continue Dr. Pulliams' work of championing PCC in the community and positioning the college for even greater success in the future. A forum to discuss the presidential search will be held at In-Service during lunch. This will be an exciting opportunity to share your thoughts about the type of person you envision as PCC's next leader. Our new president will be working for the success of our entire community, and the PCC Board of Directors would like your input. Forums will also be held at the other PCC campuses and centers during the week of In-Service. Please check the schedule for more information. We hope to see you there!

Thanks, the truffles are attached to a styrofoam cone that I covered in white chocolate. I attached the truffles, which are just an oreo truffle covered in white choc., with toothpicks. I haven't had any trouble so far with them falling off, fingers crossed:)

This is lovely! May I be so nosy as to ask the size cone that you used?

That is a good question, I don't remember the exact size. I know it was the largest one they had, it may have been about 12 in. tall.

Winter Fruit Kuchen
As awesome as it is to bake loads of holiday cookies, boil up sticky sugar syrups for Christmas candies, and otherwise revel in the creation of seasonal desserts and edible gifts for the entire month of December, I have a particular soft spot for Christmas morning baking. Just the thought of frosted windows, a glowing tree atop a mound of glossy wrapped presents, Bing Crosby on the stereo, the pitter-patter of cozy jammied feet scurrying down the stairs, and the smell of spicy-sweet breakfast treats wafting from the kitchen make all the holiday rush worth it. Oh, the joy of Christmas morning!
Granted, that moment lasts all of about six minutes until someone pulls someone else's hair, or trips over said cozy jammied feet landing square on the poor dog, or knocks a mug of coffee onto the carpet while tearing at wrapping paper like a clown on fire. But that's why God gave us coffee in the first place, and the allowance to eat all the pastries we want for breakfast on Christmas day. The promise of homemade baked goods, preferably something yeast-risen, will buoy us all through the madness.
Samantha Seneviratne's Banana Fritters
I know we're all busy with holiday whatnot, so I'll get right down to it:
I recently ate my weight in banana fritters and I feel great about it.
I don't often deep fry, but when I do, it's because a terrific recipe sucks me in and won't let go until I bust out a heavy pot and thermometer and get down to business.
Pumpkin Cream Trifle with Gingersnap Sponge Cake
As much as I adore Christmas (fa-la-la-la-la!!!), it's Thanksgiving that I love even more. The all-day cooking, the donning of stretchy pants, the gathering around the table without all the stress of shopping and buying and buying more and exchanging gifts. Thanksgiving is about comfort and reflection, family and home, and filling up our souls by eating like horses. And really, what's better than that? Actually, this reminds me of a time when I was about 10 years old, returning to my mom's house after spending a week with my dad during summer vacation. My mom asked what I'd like for dinner when I got home and I asked for Thanksgiving. And by God, my mother delivered Thanksgiving in July. This is evidence not only of how awesome my mom is and how wacky of a child I was, but that Thanksgiving has always, always felt like home to me.
It's Me! Just Checking In!
OH HELLOOOOO. It's been a bit since I've visited this space, but I've got solid reasons, I swear. Namely a huge move that's landed us in a new house and all the stress and insanity that comes with it. And when you throw two little kids into the moving mix (one of whom personifies The Terrible Twos), even the simplest to-do list takes about five times longer than it should. There's been a lot of running around like a crazy person, eating too much take-out, not knowing exactly what day it is, and many learning curves when it comes to sprucing up a 100-year-old house. (And no, I'm not exaggerating on that number–she was built in 1917. Which is how I've been feeling most mornings lately. Creak, ow, crackle.) It enough to make anyone a little nuts. I've downloaded two Justin Bieber songs this week. I don't know who I am anymore, is what I'm saying.
Ultimate Autumn Bundt Cake
Now that we're well into October, I'm happy to say that we've officially arrived at what I believe is the most fantastic time of the year: High Baking Season. During absolutely any day in the months of October, November, and December one can legitimately bake for no other reason than it's simply the right thing to do. And what a beautiful thing that is! It makes me glow from the inside, really. And now you know all my secrets.
Marble Texas Sheet Cake
There are cakes to impress, and then there are cakes to act as a balm. I'm a fan of both, of course, but give me a cake that can comfort like none other and I'm sold. No fussy frostings, no putting on cakely airs, just bake, cut, and serve straight outta the pan. Preferably on a paper plate. Even better is when said comfort cake is actually beautiful enough to impress, dead simple and keeps on the counter for several days of "just a sliver" eating. If I'm being real, though, for me that means a sliver after breakfast, a sliver after lunch, a sliver around 3:30 p.m. when my exhausted self is dying for coffee and a little bit of sugar. And then of course a "real-sized" piece for dessert, after dinner. All of that adds up to a criminal amount of cake in a day, really. But when a cake is just that good, you're willing to be arrested for your eating habits.
Natural Munch
Like so many of you (holla if you hear me!), nothing warms the cockles of my heart quite like an old school recipe with a kitschy name and just a hint of crazy. While visiting family back home in the midwest over Labor Day weekend, I got to digging through some old recipe files of my gramma's. Talk about warmed heart cockles–it was beyond fantastic to get a snapshot of the kinds of things that struck her fancy at any given moment in time. Some of the recipes were handwritten cards from friends and family, and that's obviously great (Aunt Marge's Yellow Cake!!), but I also loved finding her old clippings from newspapers and magazines, and thinking of her saying "Oh! Well, THAT sounds good!" before pulling out the scissors and then tucking the paper away in her accordion folder.

Yogurt Quiche
|9 inch whole wheat pie crust
|1 , partially baked for 8 to 10 minutes
|2 Tablespoon
|1 Medium, finely chopped
|1 Clove (5 gm), finely chopped
|Fresh spinach
|1 Pound, well trimmed (One 10 Ounce Bag)
|4 , lightly beaten
|Plain yogurt
|1 1⁄4 Cup (20 tbs), drained through 2 thicknesses of cheesecloth for 30 minutes
|Yogurt cheese

1. Prepare pie shell. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
2. Melt the butter in a small skillet and saute the onion and garlic until tender but not browned. Mean-while, put the trimmed and washed spinach in a pan, cover, and simmer with just the water clinging to the leaves until wilted, about 5 minutes. Drain and squeeze dry.
3. Add the cooked onion to the spinach and spread in the bottom of the partially baked pie shell. Combine the eggs, yogurt, yogurt cheese, dill, parsley, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Pour over the spinach.

I've owned this car for 11 years and have grown really attached to it. It has a performance problem that I'm too stubborn to give up on and hopefully you'll give me some good advice here
The problem is the car is generally flat although it perks up a little above ~3000rpm.
Sometimes, if I don't drive it for a whole weekend AND if it's a little damp (not wet) then I might find it performs well for about 1/2 hour then it's back to being flat.
In any case, the car's top end is good, just that it takes a long while getting there!!
The problem has been present for about 6 years now, oh, and it appears to run a little hot - new rad every 2 years(ish).
Incidentally, along the way I've changed the head gasket, rings, plugs, filter, cam followers etc. due to mileage/servicing etc. (no change at all).
Today I found a good G-reg 1.6SV at the scrap yard. I bought the carb (the dizzy has already gone). Stripped, cleaned & fitted it and found a slight improvement - I'm happy to accept that there could be more than one fault on the car.
Personally I suspect the ignition system - this SV has a vacuum & temp sensor for the ignition (both replaced) and also I've replaced the ignition control box. After replacing the ignition control box it appeared to run a whole lot better for a few days - odd? Strobe checking the timing (with the advance/retard plug removed) all looks fine. With the plug fitted I can see the timing advance with rev's so it looks like something's working!
What strikes me as suspicious is that every SV dizzy at the scrappy has already gone - am I missing something everyone else already knows?!
Any help/advice/experience VERY appreciated.

Devils have to move on quickly after outdoor loss; Schneider likely to be busy leading up to break
As the Devils flew to St. Louis this afternoon, their focus was on putting their disappointing 7-3 loss to the Rangers Sunday at Yankee Stadium behind them as quickly as possible.
They begin Tuesday night a difficult stretch of three road games in four nights. It starts with a rematch with the Blues, who will not have to be reminded that they lost 7-1 to the Devils last Tuesday at Prudential Center.
The trip continues Thursday in Dallas and concludes Friday in Nashville.
The Devils, who did not practice today, were not happy with how they played Sunday, as they made numerous mistakes that led to host of odd-man rushes for the Rangers in a sloppy second period. But before that they had lost just once in regulation in nine games (5-1-3).
"We like where we're at," Devils coach Pete DeBoer said. "Minus (Sunday) we've been playing some good hockey. It's key we stay healthy down the stretch. We've got a fairly good schedule that we think we can take advantage of, and we've just got to get the job done.
"So as disappointing as (Sunday was), this isn't the time of year you can feel sorry for yourself. You've got to pick yourself up. We've got another big game Tuesday."
After Martin Brodeur started Sunday and was pulled after giving up six goals on 21 shots in the first two periods, there's little doubt that Cory Schneider will be back in net Tuesday night and continue to get most of the work over the team's final six games before the Olympic break.
Schneider had started six out of eight before Sunday. He is 5-1-2 in his last eight starts, allowing only nine goals on 230 shots for a 1.09 goals-against average and .961 save percentage. He ranks second in the league with a 1.86 GAA for the season and fifth in save percentage at .927.
"We have a big road trip coming up these three games – three in four nights again on the road against tough teams," said Schneider, who allowed one goal (on a Derek Stepan penalty shot) on five shots in the third period Sunday. "It was a tough day all around for the whole team (Sunday) and for me personally, I'm going to just try to pick up where I left off before (Sunday)."
With 29 regular season games remaining, including the next five against Western Conference teams, the Devils (22-20-11) sit one point of playoff spot. After the next three games, they will not play another game outside the Eastern Time Zone, so if they can do well on this trip, they will be in good position to make a move down the stretch.
The first step is to shake off what went wrong Sunday and make sure it doesn't happen again Tuesday against a Blues team 35-11-5 that is much better than it showed last Tuesday.
"We've just got to get ready for the next game," DeBoer said. "It was a great experience, other than not getting the two points. I think we've got a veteran group enough that we can't drag the results around with us for a week, and I don't think we will."
The Devils are pretty much at full strength health-wise now with forwards Patrik Elias (groin strain) and Damien Brunner (sprained right MCL) returning over the last two weeks and defenseman Peter Harrold just about ready to be activated from injured reserve after recovering from a fractured right foot.
Even when healthy, a hole remains at left wing on the top line with Travis Zajac and Jaromir Jagr. As I mentioned the other day, by trying multiple young players in that spot over the last week, DeBoer seems to be practically begging GM Lou Lamoriello to go out and get him someone to fill it.
Jacob Josefson played left wing on that line Sunday and the combination produced a goal – with Zajac putting in the rebound of Jagr's deflection – and did not get scored against. So, it seems likely Josefson will get another chance there Tuesday.
Another option is to move Elias from center back to left wing and play him with Zajac and Jagr and try Andrei Loktionov (a healthy scratch the last four games) or Josefson in Elias' spot between Dainius Zubrus and Damien Brunner. Elias and Jagr demonstrated an ability to read off each other on Elias' power-play goal Sunday with Elias appearing to be the only one in the building who anticipated Jagr's world-class pass on that play.
With Elias coming off a two-goal game, following a 12-game goal drought, the timing might be right to give him another try as Jagr's linemate.
DeBoer seems to want Elias and Jagr on separate lines, though, to balance out the offense and because of Elias' chemistry with Zubrus and Brunner. Elias was able to get Brunner going after his long goal drought, so it's understandable the coach might not want to mess with that.
Elias and his wife, Petra, are expecting their second child at the end of February, so Petra will not be accompanying him to Sochi, Russia for the Olympics in two weeks. He's hoping the baby won't arrive until he gets back.
"My wife is staying here and my sister in law is here just in case and we've got a lot of friends (in the area)," Elias said. "But, hopefully, the little one will wait."
Sunday's Devils-Rangers game at Yankee Stadium (1:27-4:30 p.m. ET) averaged 2.079 million viewers and produced a 1.3 household rating, making it the most-watched and highest-rated single NHL regular-season game ever on NBC, both excluding NHL Winter Classics, according to Fast National data from The Nielsen Company -- NBC announced this afternoon.
The broadcast peaked in the 3-3:30 p.m. ET (1.5 HH rating and 2.299 million) half hour, which came in the second half of the second period.
Locally, the Devils-Rangers game generated a 5.1 rating in New York, matching the highest rating in the New York market for any NHL game ever broadcast on NBC (Game 1 Devils-Los Angeles Kings Stanley Cup Final, May 30, 2012). Sunday's broadcast generated the best-ever rating in the New York market for an NHL regular-season game on NBC. NBC was the No. 1 network in the New York market within the 1:30-4:30 p.m. ET time period.

Making People Believe
Born digital: Half a million years of technology... aren't we there yet? Standfirst... Leif Isaksen, Tom Goskar and Paul Cripps discuss how computers have changed the world of archaeology.
As in life, computers have become an integral part of archaeology. Surveying, researching, report writing, geophysics, interpretation, illustration, dissemination – nearly every stage of the archaeological process uses a computer. At Wessex Archaeology, one of the largest contract units in the country, they out-number excavation trowels by almost two to one: silicon has overtaken steel. Computers are analytical tools, typewriters, communications devices, sketchbooks, maps and journals rolled into one – loved and reviled in equal measure. But digital archaeology is more than just graphics, databases and the internet. It also forces us to think about the very archaeological process itself.
We believe there aremany areas in which archaeology can borrow from computer science, as it has borrowed from so many other disciplines in the past. Not only can it make some of the activities we undertake vastly easier and more efficient, but it may occasionally enable us to do entirely new things.The first thing it students are taught at the renowned Massachusetts Institute of Technology, is that "Computer science is not a science and its significance has little to do with computers". It is above all the study of what might be called "information engineering": how can we make what we have discovered accessible and put it to new uses? How can we make information flow? It is particularly in the areas of integration, representation and participation that these changes are enabling us to rethink the possible. In this article we wish to show you just a few of the ways this might happen.
Portable Antiquities Scheme
The PAS records archaeological objects found by members of the public whilst pursuing their hobbies such as metal detecting, field walking or gardening. There is no obligation to report anything unless it falls under the remit of the Treasure Act (1996), but over 12,000 people have voluntarily brought forward their objects. The dataset now stands at over 300,000 records and 160,000 images.
Computers have been essential. A central database, edited and compiled on the web (www.finds.org.uk), has allowed the scheme to produce a real-time, national picture of the objects recorded. It has enabled staff to create extensive coin guides, linked directly into the data being generated by the finds liaison officers, and provides the facility readily to create and disseminate GIS maps to an ever wider audience. The website allows anyone to access a basic version of the scheme's data. This is already in evidence on the Oxford Celtic coin index and is a revolutionary move that puts the data directly into the hands of anyone who wishes to use it.
The world-famous Portable Antiquities Scheme, based at the British Museum with a staff of regional officers around England and Wales, is a classic case of a project that would be almost impossible without computers and the internet url: www.finds.org.uk/romancoins/obverse.php?emperorID=7
Changing ideas
In our attempts to interpret the past, archaeologists have drawn from virtually every discipline: physical sciences, geography, economics, psychology, philosophy and art history to name but a few. Other fields have helped us understand what humans did, as well as when, where and why they did it. Hanging side by side in Making History: Antiquaries in Britain, the recent exhibition at the Royal Academy, were spectacular ink drawings of artefacts and vistas from the days before photography by early antiquarians such as William Stukeley, and beautiful plans by 19th century pioneers such as general Pitt Rivers and Boblay, who developed the use of military survey techniques to record archaeological sites. By introducing practices from other walks of life such people helped to change the face of archaeology and the way it was recorded.
During the 1960s there was an increasing desire to adopt a "scientific" approach toward the past. This "processual archaeology" began to use computers, statistics and mathematics to record, classify and assess the archaeology. It attempted to map out and quantify the past, sometimesmore successfully than at others, and was occasionally criticised for crude applications of theories drawn straight from geographical science. Understanding came from interpretation of patterns in data, rather than being built up from individual human experiences.
The later rise of "post-processual" archaeology led to criticism of the analytical technology. Drawing upon the thoughts of continental philosophers, archaeologists now attempted to take into account the inner lives of people, which meant accepting that we can never be truly objective about the past. Computers and their apparent dependence upon concrete answers were obvious targets. It is easy to claim that computer-based approaches are too reductionist, that they treat past societies deterministically, that they are ignorant of archaeological theory and that too much faith is placed in the results. In fact, these observations and criticisms have been around ever since the first projects using computers got underway. But we have come a long way since then and our ideas about the past continue to change. As we shall see, so must our ideas about technology.
At the click of a button
A common use for computers is to help with the integration of multiple information sources gathered on site or through desk-based research. Complex data management is in many ways at the very core of archaeological practice. Few if any discoveries have meaning on their own. It is the context in which material is found, both local and global, which gives it meaning. But that context is simply made up of other discoveries. So to evaluate our finds we need to bring together, in a simple way, all other relevant information. With or without the use of computers we frequently use statistics, graphs and schematic plans to do this job, but informatics can enable us to do much more.
As a great deal of archaeological information is spatial in nature, digital maps are becoming popular. Geographic information systems (GIS) are designed to work with this spatial information, to store, analyse and publish. Increasingly they lie at the heart of archaeological information systems such as historic environment records (HER) and context records, as well as providing online access to information via interactive maps. We can use field software, like Ark (ark.lparchaeology.com) or IADB (www.iadb.org.uk), that enables us to move from excavation plan to Harris matrix (a graph showing stratigraphic relationships between excavated contexts), to digital photo at the click of a button (see box below). This gives site staff access to information that previously may not have been generated until after the excavation was over, providing important feedback in the field and reducing the gap between excavation and interpretation. In another situation we might use English Heritage's Heritage Gateway (www.heritagegateway.org.uk/gateway) to search, for example, for bronze age henge monuments across multiple HERs. Sophisticated mathematics can now be applied to groups of radiocarbon dates to reduce the margin of error from centuries to a single generation (see box below). All of this is possible because it enables us to see things in relation to the many relevant contexts.
Representation is fundamental to the archaeological process. With evidence that is as fragmentary and distorted as ours, the need to visualise it, even as a mere hypothesis, is vital. We might do this with an artist's impression, a technical section drawing or an essay on the phenomenology of landscape. Computers and sophisticated software are helping us. Pictures will never replace written reports, but they can provide us with a simplicity, immediacy and accuracy that greatly enhances our understanding.
We can now fly through a virtual representation of a physical landscape, for example around Stonehenge, to help us understand the relationship between monuments in a way that is impossible on the ground or from a helicopter (see LiDAR spread in printed magazine). We can create 3D models of sites as complex as a burial pit, yet simple enough to understand so that every bone can be seen in context, with more information always just a mouse click away. We can even reconstruct an ancient environment, filling it with the plants whose seeds were recovered by archaeologists (see image opposite page). Individual trees, plants and people can all bemodelled using specialist software. We can make the clouds in the sky look real, and mimic the way that light travels through the haze at sunset. We can make people believe that this was exactly how a place looked in the past.
Alternatively, we can represent an abstract view to illustrate a particular point or test a particular hypothesis. The potential is virtually limitless. Importantly, we can compare endless different and potentially contradictory viewpoints. A powerful tool indeed, but one which we must wield very carefully.
The greatest revolution is occurring in the area of participation. Before the arrival of developer funded archaeology, much fieldwork was conducted by university departments and local amateur societies. Since archaeological considerations have become part of the planning process, an increasing proportion of fieldwork is now undertaken by professional archaeologists. Yet as the scope for public involvement in the field has fallen, public awareness and interest have grown considerably. Calls for greater community participation have often been met with fears that academic rigour might be jeopardised. Yet if our work is to have any purpose, it is paramount that not only should we reach as wide an audience as possible, but that people should feel ownership and involvement in what is, after all, everybody's history.
We, as professional archaeologists, are inmany cases best placed to make informed interpretations. That is not to say, however, that the views of the wider public are any less valid: merely that all arguments need to be made transparently and assessed on their individual merits. Developments in communication technology, and in particular the internet, mean that we can finally have our cake and eat it, opening up archaeology to all, without creating chaos.
The latest discoveries can be made available to all at limited cost and to any level of detail. Information can be tailored to particular audiences and access to sensitive information can be controlled. Best of all, we can encourage everyone to have their say without losing track of who said it, and if necessary, what their claim to authority might be. The Portable Antiquities Scheme, for example, has transformed the relationship between archaeologists andmetal detectorists (see box above), whilst the Pleiades website (www.unc.edu/awmc/pleiades.html) has enabled a much wider network of contributors to assist in developing their map of the ancient world without causing its decline and fall. These projects work by harnessing the power of communities. In doing so they not only make their results available to all: they make the task easier and do it better.
Radiocarbon dating
Radiocarbon dating revolutionised the study of prehistory. Unfortunately, when it was recognised that laboratory dates needed to be calibrated because of changes through time in atmospheric carbon 14 levels, archaeologists had to redraw their timelines. Calibration was originally done by hand with a graph. This method became inadequate, however, when whole groups of radiocarbon dates needed to be understood as part of a site chronology. Bayesian statistical analysis offers the advantage of integrating all sources of archaeological chronological knowledge, including stratigraphy, history, coins and other scientific dating techniques. Until the mid 90s, however, the processing power required for the statistical sampling methods meant that Bayesian programs were not readily available.
Computer programs such as OxCal and BCal represent significant steps forward in interpreting groups of radiocarbon dates. These programs allow for a formal analysis of groups of radiocarbon dates that account for the statistical scatter inherent in the method. This scatter might falsely suggest early starts, long durations and late ends for phases of activity – parts of our present "fuzzy" chronologies for prehistorymay be as much products of the method as reflections of the real world. Routine statistical modelling with desktop calibration programs has the potential to revolutionise our archaeological chronologies; the implications for our understanding of causality, change, and culture are profound.
Exciting frontier
We are entering an exciting new age for archaeology. Computing is allowing us better to organise, analyse, present and disseminate the ever growing information about our past. The internet ismaking a huge impact as it connects archaeologists and the public in ways never before imagined. Traditional print journals are re-assessing their future as more and more information goes online.
Even so, we must proceed with caution. As archaeologists become more reliant upon computers it is vital that we use information standards. The promise of integrated systems that will enable us to use all of our data together will only materialise when we "talk the same language". Standards mean that completely different computer systems can cooperate, and will help to keep our data usable in the future. Fish, the Forum on Information Standards in Heritage (www.fish-forum.info), is a community body which produces a range of useful materials including lists of terminology and technical specifications. If you are interested in employing a digital approach in your next project, there are plenty of places to turn for help. Online communities such as Antiquist (www.antiquist.org) or the Digital Classicist (www.digitalclassicist.org) mean that you will almost certainly find someone keen to lend you a hand, or be able to help others.
The future big advances, as always, will come from borrowing developments elsewhere. Computers will never give us "the ultimate truth", but they are able to put everything we have said, photographed, filmed and found directly at our disposal, along with the tools to manage it. Natural language processing for instance,may well allow us to begin converting all those site reports into structured information. Why does that matter? Imagine being able to access the sum total of our knowledge with search engines that "understand" the concepts we are looking for, and provide us with related information wemay not have known exists. There has never been a more exciting frontier in archaeology. Archimedes said that given a place to stand he could move the world. it may not do that, but with a warm place to sit and a hot cup of tea, you can just, perhaps, begin to change it.

Ark at Portus
Modern archaeological excavations generate amassive amount of data (contextual records, photos, GIS files, 3D models etc) and themanagement and dissemination of these varied datasets is a growing problem. The archaeological recording kit (Ark) has been developed to meet this challenge and provide excavation directors with an open-source solution to housing and analysing their data. Ark's modular design means that it can be configured to work with any type of recording system and allows archaeological data to be immediately viewed and disseminated through a standard web browser.
Southampton University is using Ark as the data management system for a study of the port of imperial Rome (www.portusproject.org). The AHRC-funded Portus project is focussed on an excavation in the centre of the port area and a survey of its periphery. As it explores key questions about the development and form of the port, the project is employing innovative digital technologies. Laser scanning survey, GPS and high resolution photogrammetry are complemented by a largely "born-digital" archive and a range of GIS and computer aided design tools. Southampton's Archaeological Computing Research Group is using 3D computer graphic visualisation for a better understanding and presentation of the port.

N Portland Ave / NW 21st St is an urban neighborhood (based on population density) located in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.
N Portland Ave / NW 21st St real estate is primarily made up of small (studio to two bedroom) to medium sized (three or four bedroom) single-family homes and apartment complexes/high-rise apartments. Most of the residential real estate is occupied by a mixture of owners and renters. Many of the residences in the N Portland Ave / NW 21st St neighborhood are older, well-established, built between 1940 and 1969. A number of residences were also built between 1970 and 1999.
N Portland Ave / NW 21st St has a 13.7% vacancy rate, which is well above average compared to other U.S. neighborhoods (higher than 69.9% of American neighborhoods). Most vacant housing here is vacant year round. This could either signal that there is weak demand for real estate in the neighborhood or that large amount of new housing has been built and not yet occupied. Either way, if you live here, you may find many of the homes or apartments are empty.
