Am I going to need to place the car up on a rack to do this? I'm pretty sure the answer is yes. Just want to make sure as I'm a novice and am just getting into learning my dream car. Thanks for your time and assistance
Yes, you will want the front of the car jacked up on jackstands, set your ebrake, or blocks behind the rear wheels, disconnect the exhaust at the headers and start her up. Don't rev it, or drive it like this though. Let it idle as long as you did before and check to see how hot your headers and fenders are.
I will give this a try the next time I'm back home again. I'm an over the road truck driver so I'm not home very often. Thanks for the advice! I will let you know how things go

Fiestas Patrias in Panama |
Written by Matt |
Thursday, 06 November 2008 12:25 |
A high came in Birmingham, Alabama. We had ventured off the highway in search of gasoline and quickly realized why Birmingham holds its place on America's list of top ten most dangerous cities. This was a place where everyone and their babies were outside on the street at midnight. And when one young man, after making some sort of hand-to-hand transaction on the liquor corner tried to open the door to our RV, we decided it might be a better idea to get gas somewhere else. "This reminds me a lot of Camden," my friend Adam pointed out. It was his habit to compare sights on our trip to sights he knew from home. We'd be eating at a restaurant and the comparisons would continue. "Crab cakes," he'd say. "These crab cakes are just like the ones from Blue Point Grill. Boy, I sure do miss those crab cakes." Adam hadn't made his associations to consciously annoy us, but he was achieving it with relative ease. "This bridge," he said in Charleston, NC. "It's almost exactly like one over Carnegie Lake" or "this porch is so similar to the one off the back of our beach house." "What about this foot?" we wanted to ask him. "Does it remind you of anything that's ever been up your ass?" I suppose it's natural, to want to draw comparisons when traveling abroad to things you're familiar with at home. And while Adam had taken it over the edge, revealing that the donut holes in Sarasota were almost identical to the ones in Princeton but with a slightly lighter feel, I have occasionally found myself in Panama trying to associate new towns, traditions, and cultural nuances with those that I know and love. Just recently, Panama's holiday-ridden month of November started with a bang and the commencement of Fiestas Patrias, a four-day celebration of the nation. I found myself, not unlike Adam, describing it to a North American friend who'd never participated in anything remotely similar. And in doing so, I realized Panama's Fiestas Patrias have a way of coming off as oddly alcoholic and immature. {adsense} "So everyone leaves the city and ventures into the interior of the country where beer stands and Seco tents are set up all along the road," I told her. "Beginning on Sunday night at twelve, the drunken celebration lasts until Wednesday after which the people of Panama are given a hung-over day to recover and then it's back to work." "What if you don't drink?" my friend inquired, a question neither I nor any self-respecting Panamanian had ever contemplated. "So it's like a countrywide Pigroast," my friend observed, referring to an annual tradition at our University in which all students commit to being drunk and stupid for twenty-four hours. Highways during Panama's Fiestas Patrias are lined with speed traps and DUI checkpoints, beside which you can usually see a small convoy of cars caught in the act. The rural villages of Panama's interior turn into mayhem, complete with parades, fireworks, and roving drunkards who tend to pass out in the most obscure places. I saw a local man who couldn't have been less than seventy years old in Pedasi, lying face down in a ditch beside the road. The way I knew he wasn't dead was that he had this wonderful drunken grin on his face as if, after a grueling hike, he had finally made it to a tempur-pedic bed. Standing near him was a teenager with a blindfold on, announcing something extremely dramatic to the side of a concrete wall. Fiestas Patrias in Panama are very similar to Carnavales in that it's a several-day party across the nation. While everyone acts silly, there is certainly an underlying theme of patriotism and pride. Panamanians love to drink and liquor sales during these periods shoot up like champagne corks. It's also arguably the worst time to be on the road for obvious reasons. Places like Las Tablas, Pedasi, Santiago, and Coronado fill up really fast so get accommodation reservations far in advance. Trackback(0)

I got a kick out of watching the two egrets in the pond behind our house. They each seemed quite happy with their own direction. Later, however, they walked away together.
This was pretty easy to put together because Brandy Murry did most of the work by designing the template. I had the fun part. All I needed to do was to clip various papers to it, add my photo, a title, and a couple of embellishments.
BMU_AutumnJewel_FushiaFusion and Leaf Fushion,
ABR_JifCTW_Paper-Deco, Deco2, Emb-Arrow and Emb-Flower2;
Font is Boopee.
I love the color choice and the photo is fantastic. Love the template that you used too.
Diane this is wonderful. LOVE your bird layouts and this one doesn't disappoint. SO interesting and I like your title to go with it. Your background is super and i like how you mimicked the grass in the paper - your color choices are super, too.
Fabulous LO! I love watching these birds, too.
I love the colors & the energy of this layout, Diane! Great photo, too!
Great title! I laughed at the birds ignoring each other and then going off together... they must be married haha! Wonderful photo, lovely bright colours and the arrows are a great touch. Really fun!
Super cute and clever title! Great photo of the egrets and the reflection too! I like the way the grungy green mimics the green grass. I really like the color you chose for the frame. This template is perfect for your photo! Thanks for participating!

(Winthrop, MA, February 3, 2013) We will soon join everyone in the United States watching the Super Bowl, but first, here are some memories in photographs of our great week in Park City, Utah.
Epilogue: The Equal-Opportunity Joy of Learning to Ski
31 Jan(Winthrop, MA, January 31, 2013) Lifelong learning isn't always about the history of a place, or the culture of the people we visit. Sometimes it's something so basic, and so much fun, as getting outside and playing in the snow – no matter what kind of skier you are. Our fellow participants were people of all abilities; some were here to conquer moguls; others were happy rookies learning the basics every day.
No matter. We all had a blast. And we all learned a lot. We learned how welcoming and wonderful a ski-in, ski-out program can be. Waking up in a trailside condo, heading downstairs to breakfast, and then putting on our boots and skis for a morning on the slopes, might be the only way to ski. And every day, this experience was available to all, from those who came for double-diamond thrills on a Winter Olympics mountain to others who were just starting out.
Ski University "graduate students" found twice-a-day, advanced work on their skills with demanding instructors. Other participants happily mixed three afternoon lessons with the many other pleasures of Park City. "Something for everyone" isn't a phrase that gets much respect when it comes to business strategy, but it says here that it makes for a terrific winter vacation.
The Sundance Film Festival. Ski lessons for people of all abilities. A behind-the-scenes look at mountain rescue techniques. A walking ghost tour along Main Street in Park City. A farewell evening punctuated by a Cowboy Poet. And, through it all, the great pleasure of dining with fellow participants before and after exhilarating runs down one of the best ski resorts anywhere. Maybe best of all, the anticipation of doing it all again tomorrow.
We close this edition of the Mogul with two messages: one of sincere thanks to Gary and Sandy Nielsen for hosting one of the best weeks many of us have spent in a long time; and secondly, an invitation to anyone who has never been on this program to sign up for the next one.
We don't always learn with our heads. Sometimes we learn with our ankles, shoulders, and even our "uphill little toe." But learn we did, with the great gusto that makes everyone want to come back for more.
Fun in the Snow
24 Jan(Park City, Utah, January 24, 2013) We awoke to a snowy morning, which meant only one thing to avid skiers – fresh powder! Being the polite Road Scholars that we are, no one wolfed down breakfast or rushed to line up before the lifts opened, but you could sense the enthusiasm for getting outside.
But because this is Park City and Sundance Week, there was at least one compelling alternative, and several of us opted for some of the early offerings in the Egyptian Theater, the Library, or any of the other venues where movies started as early as 8 am. Needless to say, by 9 am, there wasn't anyone left in the lodge.
Grace Voss and Craig Moyer were generous enough to ride the lifts with us. The snow added magic to the trailside scenery, including the green spruces and white aspens that line the slopes. But it also sparked the imagination as it fell on old mining structures the resort has left standing, softening them, and reminding us of the people who lived here a century ago.
What must it have been like to climb this mountain only to work underground? When did the miners start to ski? And which of them was first to think about building a ski resort when the mines began to fail?
Thinking about history at the top of a ski lift inevitably gives way to other questions – which trail to ride next, or how to take Park City's intricate web of chair lifts to a new corner of its 3,300 acres of winter fun. Riding lifts whose tops were hidden in snow only added to the anticipation, and the fun, of this amazing program.
No wonder why so many people come back year after year.
Après Ski Stories from Park City
23 Jan(Park City, Utah, January 23, 2013) Like every day this week, we're certainly getting our fill of the ski slopes at Park City. But today's schedule also included two additional activities to add some learning beyond lifting your uphill ski, or keeping your hands in front of you.
This morning, we took four lifts to the Summit Patrol Station to meet Rangers David Weiss, Bert Pacal, and Stella the Avalanche Rescue Dog. They demonstrated mountain rescue technology, from the kind that has four paws and a wet nose to state-of-the-art beacons and sensors.
Stella showed her skills at retrieving buried sweaters, followed by the tug-of-war with Bert she enjoys as her reward. But it's not all fun and games – Stella and Bert were involved in a rescue operation a few weeks ago.
After lunch, we adjourned to the mountain's many chair lifts for another in our continuing small group lessons. But a few of us opted for a short ride into town for the Sundance Film Festival, to see movies or maybe movie stars during Park City's best week of the year. It's a tough choice to make; either is an excellent option.
We added to today's fun when twenty-six of us rode into town for a Ghost Tour Gary and Sandy had arranged for us. Before our guide arrived, a local television news crew used us for one of their glamor shots to open their evening coverage of the film festival. The least the Mogul could do was return the favor.
And then it was off on the tour, visiting actual buildings where Park City's legendary ghosts appear in a variety of their own starring roles, including floating torsos, icy cold disembodied lips, or reasons for tenants to abandon rented apartments in record time. It was a great way to see Park City, and to share stories with each other while we did.
One of tonight's favorites was from Zlata Kovak, who grew up in Croatia. Her father was the Chief Engineer for the Orient Express for decades, including all of World War II, and its last years of steam. She remembers climbing into the great steam locomotive to bring him a piece of bread every day before he left for work.
All this, and we're only three days into our program. With the forecast of fresh snow tomorrow morning, we're all anticipating another great day.
The Many Personalities of Park City
22 Jan(Park City, Utah, January 22, 2013) Tony Cucchiara is a lifelong resident of Brooklyn, NY. A recently retired professor at Brooklyn College, he is now teaching at Pratt University and writing a book on the history of his favorite New York borough, and how it became "cool." He and his friend Chet Kaplan, who teaches music education at NYU, come to Road Scholar's Park City program every winter, this year without their wives. When he's not spending his time skiing or hiking outdoors, Tony is an amateur boxer.
Ann Lyons is a clinical social worker, now in private practice after a long career at Mount Sinai Hospital in Manhattan. She is here with friends she trained in the field. One of them, Nick Newcombe, now a social worker in Seattle, will tell you Ann taught him everything he knows. Ann is also an avid outdoors fan, and also hikes with Road Scholar. Like many participants here this week, she loves meeting like-minded people.
If yesterday was all about the lessons, today was about the people Gary and Sandy Nielsen bring together in a remarkable seasonal ski lodge – times when friends old and new come to Park City to ski and enjoy each other's company without another care in the world. We get up, we stretch, then we venture out for a morning of pure fun under impossibly blue skies. And after lunch, we do it all again. I don't remember such a carefree time with so many happy people.
Jay Patchett and Lynn Snyder, from Fairfax, VA, are here for several weeks this winter; starting next Sunday, friends of theirs will join them here. Retired educators, they've found a new interest in politics. In fact, Jay started this morning on the phone dealing with misbehavior among his state legislators – a story that was actually on the morning news. But it didn't stop him from enjoying a day on the slopes.
This edition of the Mogul includes a new feature, courtesy of videographer Cameron Kirkpatrick. Click on the image below to see moving images of Road Scholars doing what they do best . And think about the fun you can have by joining them next winter.
Nothing But Slopes
21 Jan(Park City, Utah, January 21, 2013) This morning, after breakfast, twenty-seven Road Scholars skied out the door and onto Park City Mountain Resort for the first day of skiing, and – in the case of those on the Ski University Program – the first day of lessons. We spent the morning with instructor Howard Gravel and the five most advanced skiers in our group, and the afternoon with Jim Wilson and his two students. While they are all great on four edges, as they like to say, they are also some of the funniest and most welcoming people you'll ever meet.
A sample of our lifelong learning lessons of the day included how to "pedal" down the mountain, which shoulder to drop and when, skiing on the balls of your feet – and to always keep your belly button facing downhill. Howard summed it up this way, "If your body tells you to do something it absolutely believes you have to do to survive, do the opposite."
Park City has several historic silver mine structures on the sides of its slopes, but today we saw them as different kinds of landmarks. This afternoon, Jim told us to practice turning without poles down the hill until we came to the old ore chute on the right. It was that kind of a day – one focused on learning and improving our skills on skis.
And it was a blast. Old friends teased each other about techniques that would make anyone proud. Rookies like yours truly were encouraged to have fun practicing movements that seemed "wrong" at first. Face plants were few, but they were celebrated with laughs and endless remembrances of similar moments from participants and instructors alike.
We ended the day with runs down slopes that seemed impossible just hours before, feeling more like the skiers we want to be, putting together at least half a dozen new tips into a new kind of downhill grace. The new combination of speed and control felt terrific. Or, as Howard put it, "Skiing is a thinking person's game. That's why I love teaching it to Road Scholars."
A Century of Silver, Fifty Years of Snow
20 Jan(Park City, Utah, January 20, 2013) We arrived in Salt Lake City the night before our "Park City Mountain: Ski-In, Ski-Out" program began, just in time to enjoy a winter sunset as we pondered what would be most memorable for the next week: the skiing, learning about Park City and its history, or the people we will meet. By the middle of this afternoon, we know there's much to anticipate in all three areas.
2013 is the 50th anniversary of Treasure Mountain Ski Resort, opened by miners to save the town after the silver industry collapsed in the 1950s. Now Park City Mountain Ski Resort, it's one of the world's premier ski and snowboard destinations. Those miners knew what they were doing.
This year is also the 101st anniversary of the discovery of silver in these mountains in 1862. Colonel Patrick Connor and his men were stationed here, and prospecting seemed like a good way to stay busy. Those soldiers knew what they were doing as well; the mines produced $400 million in silver and 23 millionaires in their day. And there are still 1,000 miles of tunnels beneath the slopes we'll ski. We'll even take a tour of the mountain's mining history – on skis. Now that's a learning adventure!
Our Road Scholar program leaders, Gary and Sandy Nielsen, have a full slate of activities ready for us, including ski lessons, tickets to some of this year's Sundance Film Festival movies, and even a "ghost tour" of Park City highlighting, as Gary puts it, "some of the colorful characters who met untimely ends here." In their introductions, they noted that so far, participants on their programs have produced many returning Road Scholars, dozens of new friendships, and even three marriages.
It all sounds like a great reason to get up early tomorrow for breakfast and a ride up the lifts. They say that some of the lifts were once aerial trams used for hauling ore. Here's hoping the rust is history.

GE Profile Dryer Heat Problem
Model Number: DPSB613ED2WW Brand: GE Age: 5 - 10 years
What a long week....My Profile Dryer (DPSB6133D2WW) is taking 2 hours or more to dry a load! In effort to check heating element, I ran the dryer for a few seconds with the door open and button held to check element...I noted only a faint glow. So, installed replacement heating assembly, cleaned blower assembly, exhaust pipe and discharge pipe. However, upon checking continuity of old element, I found it to be good-both elements!!?....so, back to trouble shooting. I checked all thermostats, thermistor, safety thermostat and connections with ohm meter and found no issues. Disassembled again to verify all connections tight...everything OK. Attempted to dry load with only minimal heat...2hrs per load-barley warm! So, I replaced everything: WE4M160, WE4M181, WE4M137, WE4M216 and WE4M275. Started the dryer and was very surprised that it did NOT resolve the heating issue!!?? The temperature is just slightly above warm and metal back panel behind the heating element is warm vs. very hot, as I discovered years ago when I rubbed up against it! No change in heat output. I have verified 240v supply and disassembled the dryer to make certain there were no loose connections..everything snug! I have spent hours online attempting to find information on what my problem may be..perhaps it is so simple, I have overlooked? The only other electrical component which I have not checked is the Electronic Board. I did make certain all the connections were snug and did not notice any discolored components or evidence of component failure in progress. Since this controls all activity of the dryer, is there a method to confirm it is issuing the proper 'work orders' for the heating element?? Other than lack of heat, the dryer functions great. I have not been able to locate any discussion or diagnostics for the Electric Board. I would greatly appreciate any thoughts and suggestions on solving my Profile mystery!! In advance, Thanks for any suggestions!! Jamie Related Models |

Texas Hold 'Em
City planners in Austin, Texas, are considering an ordinance that would help developers and conservationists find common ground. The measure would encourage cluster development that corrals buildings into small pockets, thus leaving larger swaths of open space untouched, the Austin Business Journal reports. Incentives for developers would include waived fees, expedited permits, and annual lump sum payments (based on conserved acreage) to compensate for missed opportunity costs.
Green Collar Jobs
If saving the planet isn't enough incentive to build more sustainably, Oakland, Calif.-based activist Van Jones is plugging one more benefit to green building: domestic job creation. Jones is founder of Green for All, a campaign urging Congress to set aside $1 billion by 2012 to train 250,000 disadvantaged youth and young adults in green building trades. Presented as a means of harnessing the green economy to raise many of America's blighted urban markets out of poverty, the campaign was launched at former President Clinton's Global Initiative in New York last month. www.greenforall.org
Garden Variety
Landscape design has long been part of the sustainability equation (think xeriscaping, stormwater management, organic composting) and now it's official. A new rating system for sustainable landscape design has been launched by the American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA) in partnership with the University of Texas at Austin's Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center and the U.S. Botanic Garden. Similar in bent to the U.S. Green Building Council's LEED rating system, which gauges the environmental impact of buildings, ASLA's Sustainable Sites metrics will measure the eco-friendliness of all kinds of landscaping projects, including public, commercial, and residential green spaces.www.sustainablesites.org
Buyers' Market
Home builders claiming that they haven't gone eco because their buyers don't want it may want to rethink that position. The market for green homes is expected to jump from $2 billion to as much as $20 billion over the next five years, and homeowners are already specifying green products for 40 percent of their current remodeling work, according to a recent study by the National Association of Homebuilders and McGraw-Hill Construction. The survey also found that most Americans find out about green homes by word-of-mouth, and that green homeowners tend to recommend green homes at rates that are significantly higher than referral levels of other industries.www.analyticsstore.construction.com

BMW brand volumes up 12.4%. Strong demand for MINI Countryman .BMW 7 Series beats previous models' sales record.
Press Release: BMW Group sales recorded double-digit growth once again in October. With 128,593 BMW, MINI and Rolls-Royce brand automobiles sold worldwide (+11.6%, prev. yr. 115,278 units), the BMW Group achieved its best-ever October sales result. A total of 1,190,796 (prev. yr. 1,054,841) vehicles have been delivered to customers since the start of the year – an increase of 12.9% compared with the first ten months of the previous year.
"Our new models, like the BMW X1, the BMW 5 Series Sedan, the BMW 5 Series Touring and the MINI Countryman, continued to report strong gains in October and made a positive contribution to our sales performance," said Ian Robertson, member of the Board of Management of BMW AG, responsible for Sales and Marketing.
"New orders have been strong for all of these models, and based on the steady recovery of many markets, we continue to expect double-digit sales growth through the end of the year."
The BMW brand sold 107,789 (prev. yr. 95,867) vehicles in October and grew at a rate of 12.4% year-on-year. More than one million BMW vehicles have been delivered to customers (1,000,514 units, +14.6%) since January 2010. October sales were largely driven by the continued strong growth in sales of the 5 Series (+54.8% to 23,810 units compared to October 2009); the 5 Series GT (2,480 units); and the new X1, which was delivered to 10,162 customers last month.
The other members of the X family also remained on course for success. Sales of the BMW X5 increased 8.5% to 8,578 vehicles, while deliveries of the BMW X6 were 11.7% higher at 3,827 units.
The BMW 7 Series beat the previous model's sales record in October: Since its market launch exactly two years ago, this luxury class model has been delivered to more than 100,000 customers – that is more than any previous 7 Series model within the first 24 months of its market launch. Sales of the BMW 7 Series have risen 36% to 51,936 vehicles since January 2010.
The MINI brand was also able to increase its sales in October: Volumes rose 6.1% to 20,525 units. The MINI Countryman – newly introduced in September – played a significant part in this development. With 3,525 units sold in October, it already accounted for almost a fifth of all MINI sales. The company delivered a total of 188,275 MINI brand vehicles to customers in the first ten months of the year (+4% year-on-year).
Robertson: "The MINI Countryman is well on its way to becoming a highly successful model. Demand is stronger than our already optimistic plans. This model will launch according to plan in other key export markets, such as the US, over the next few weeks and further contribute to the positive sales performance of the MINI brand over the coming months."
The BMW Group once again increased its sales volumes in its largest markets of Germany, the US and China in the month under review. In Germany, new vehicle registrations increased by 4.8% to 23,220 vehicles. In an overall market that has shrunk by 27% since the start of the year, the BMW Group expanded its market share by 2.4 percentage points over the same period to reach 9%.
The BMW Group also continued on its growth track in the US despite the economic uncertainties in North America. In October, BMW Group retail volumes climbed 12.6% to 23,222 units. In the year to the end of October, sales of the BMW and MINI brands increased 7.7% to 215,274 vehicles. The BMW Group's third-largest market, China, also remained a strong driving force behind the company's growth in October. Sales to customers in the People's Republic leapt 43.7% to reach 13,738 units. After the first ten months of the year, sales totalled 135,564 vehicles – an increase of 88.4% over the previous year.
The Rolls-Royce brand's strong growth continued in October: With 279 deliveries, sales quadrupled year-on-year (+298.6%, prev. yr. 70 units). Since the start of the year, deliveries to customers have climbed to 2,007 vehicles (+278%, prev. yr. 531).
BMW Motorrad delivered 6,845 motorcycles to customers worldwide in October, exceeding the already strong sales result of the previous October by 1.7%. In the year to the end of October, deliveries rose to 88,353 motorcycles (prev. yr. 76,443). This represents an increase of 15.6% over the previous year. BMW Motorrad presented a large number of new models at the autumn shows in Cologne and Milan and is expanding its attractive range of models for the 2011 motorcycle season with its first six-cylinder touring bikes, the K 1600 GT and the K 1600 GTL; the two Boxer models, R 1200 R and R 1200 R Classic; and the G 650 GS, the new BMW one-cylinder entry-level model.

Nissan 240SX - PerformanceSuspension TuningCamberCamber is probably the most useful and popular alignment adjustment that can be made to a street car. The other alignment adjustments are toe and caster. Camber is the angle of the wheel from the vertical as viewed from the front or the back of the car. Negative camber means that the top of the wheel is leaned in towards the car, and positive camber means that the top of the wheel is leaned out away from the car. Maximum cornering force is achieved when the camber of the outside wheels relative to the ground is about -0.5 degrees. A slight negative camber in a turn maximizes the tire contact patch due to the way the tire deforms under lateral load. Hence, it is good to have some negative camber to increase cornering force. Another reason why it is helpful to align your suspension with a slight negative camber is that camber will change with suspension travel and body roll. Most suspension systems are designed so that camber increases with more suspension travel. However, camber relative to the car's chassis is not the same thing as camber relative to the ground. It is camber relative to the ground that affects handling. Therefore, even though camber relative to the chassis is made to increase, camber relative to the ground may actually decrease on the outside wheels if there is substantial body roll. To counter this tendency, it is important to use negative camber and to control body roll.
The only drawback to negative camber is increased wear on the inside of each tire. Since the top of the wheel is leaned in, the car is riding on the inside of the tire while it is on straightaways. In a corner, suspension travel and lateral forces on the tire's rubber compound combine to straighten the tire relative to the ground. Therefore, the car rides evenly on the tire in turns, which improves cornering ability. However, extra time spent driving on the inside of the tire causes that part of the tire to heat up and wear. This effect is small if you avoid adding too much negative camber. On most street cars, camber is not easily adjustable. However, if you choose to purchase aftermarket camber plates, you can set camber to improve handling. More negative camber tends to increase tire grip in corners. Therefore, if your car experiences understeer, you can decrease front camber (make it more negative) to improve front grip or increase rear camber (make it more positive) to decrease rear grip. Remember not to add too much negative or positive camber since it will decrease the life of your tires and may cause a blowout. Even pure race cars rarely use more than about 3 degrees of camber. |

Elvis's beloved Fool's Gold Loaf sandwich was born in Denver
You can still order a Fool's Gold Loaf sandwich from Nick Andurlakis,
Dave Herrera
Did you know that Elvis, who left the building for good 35 years ago today, once flew all the way to Denver in the middle of the night just for a sandwich? Well, he did -- true story. But this was no ordinary sandwich. This was the Fool's Gold Loaf, a ginormous, artery-hardening contraption conceived and featured at the long-defunct Colorado Mine Company in Glendale, a restaurant run by Buck and Cindy Scott that was once a prime hangout for media types, politicians, cops... and Elvis.
See also: - Retired Denver Police Captain Jerry Kennedy on the time Elvis bought him a Lincoln - John Bucci on being the proud owner of the church pew Elvis once sat in at Holy Family - Retired Denver police officer Bob Cantwell on The King's "nurse" making a house call - Bob Kortz on tracking down a black diamond for The King in the middle of the night
The Colorado Mine Company logo as it appeared on one of the original menus.
Steve Brown
When we first heard about the sandwich, we thought it sounded positively disgusting. But we've since tried it, and, well, it tastes precisely like you'd expect it to taste -- like a peanut butter and jelly sandwich with chunks of bacon. The official recipe calls for two tablespoons of margarine, one loaf of French bread, one pound of bacon, one jar of peanut butter and one jar of grape jelly (Dickinson's blueberry preserve, to be precise, but that's no longer available). Basically, you take the bread, bathe it in butter on all sides, bake it, gut it, then fill the inside with peanut butter and jelly -- and bacon, sans grease, which you absorb between two paper towels.
Nick Andurlakis, owner of Nick's Café in Lakewood, helped create the sandwich while he was working at the Colorado Mine Company. Knowing The King's well-publicized love of the PB&J sandwiches his mom used to make, Andurlakis suggested the Fool's Gold Loaf to Elvis one night when he was in town, and he later had the distinction of hand-delivering a platter of the gooey goodness to The King himself when his private plane sat on the tarmac at Stapleton Airport.
Nick Andurlakis still serves up Fool's Gold Loaf sandwiches at Nick's Cafe. |
To get a taste of Elvis's beloved sandwich yourself, stop by Nick's, where he'll treat you just like The King and maybe even regale you with some Elvis stories while you marvel at all of the Elvis memorabilia lining the walls. The café is also selling a special Fool's Gold pendant that jeweler Bob Kortz -- who once procured a 3.5-carat black diamond for The King in the mid-'70s, then roused a Vail jeweler to set it -- has created to commemorate the anniversary today.
See one the original Colorado Mine Company menus and read more about Andurlakis's memories of delivering Fool's Gold sandwiches to Elvis, as well as stories about Elvis from Kortz and retired police officers Jerry Kennedy and Bob Cantwell on the Backbeat blog.

It is important to determine whether the fund's goals match your own investment goals. For example, a fund with an above-average capital growth objective would probably not be a good fit for an 89-year-old widow who needs regular income from investments to cover day-to-day expenses.

Investment Strategies
This part of the prospectus explains the way in which a fund allocates and manages its resources to achieve its investment objectives. Aspects considered when designing such a strategy include setting goals for net asset value, determining asset allocation, investment restrictions (such as only investing in a certain industry) and deciding whether (and how) derivatives may be used.
A fund's investment strategy, like its goals, should be in sync with your investment style. For example, although a small cap fund and a large cap equity fund are both aiming for long-term capital appreciation, they are both using very different strategies to reach this goal. Before choosing one type of fund over another, make sure you consider why investing in any one of these asset types is right for you. Otherwise, you might be in for some surprises!

Copyright Promotions Group is being floated by Mosaic Investments, the mini-conglomerate, as part of a restructuring by David Williams, who returned to the group in February three years after leaving it.
At the flotation price of 120p a share, CPG is valued at pounds 12m - pounds 2m more than Mosaic as a whole, underlining Mr Williams's claim that the restructuring will release extra value for shareholders.
He added that public company status would also give CPG a higher profile, which should benefit its business. Its character licensing rights include Tom and Jerry, the Pink Panther and Sonic the Hedgehog.
Mosaic will retain 30 per cent of CPG for at least six months and a further 40 per cent will be held by CPG directors, headed by David Cardwell, chief executive, and Richard Culley, managing director.
Mosaic shareholders are being offered the chance to claw back shares from the placing on the basis of one for every 29 held. Mosaic's shares were unchanged at 30p yesterday.
The disposal will raise pounds 3m for Mosaic, although pounds 1m will be set aside to indemnify Mosaic against its European venture and pounds 750,000 will be lent to CPG. It will also produce a book loss of pounds 1.2m, although that is due to a pounds 2.7m goodwill write-back. Net assets will rise to pounds 9.8m.
It also announced that pre-tax profits for the year to April were pounds 1m, compared with a pounds 14.8m loss after pounds 15.3m exceptional charges last time. CPG contributed pounds 1m to operating profits.

Deep lake fish kills attributed to oxygen, water temperature
MOUNTAIN HOME – Dead fish in Bull shoals, Norfolk and Beaver lakes in north Arkansas have resulted in questions and concerns from a number of Arkansans.
It is a natural and somewhat seasonal phenomenon, according to Ken Shirley, a veteran district fisheries biologist with the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission. The situation was complicated this year because of unusual and prolonged high levels on the lakes resulting from heavy spring rains.
Shirley said, "High springtime inflows into the large reservoirs are a great benefit to our fisheries. The resulting huge spawns of crappie, walleye and largemouth bass often dominate those lake fisheries for years. Similar spawns of threadfin or gizzard shad, sunfish, and invertebrates result in fast growth of all our game fish," he explained. "However, this is not without its cost. Access to our waters is often limited or even damaged," he added.
"Another detriment also is quite common though less well known by the angler. Organic matter like leaves flushed into the lakes decays, taking up oxygen in the cold water below the thermocline," Shirley says. The thermocline is the point where shallow warm water meets cold deep water.
"While many cool water fish like walleye and striped bass concentrate at the thermocline where they can acclimate to the temperature and water quality conditions, there is also often a deep plume of cold oxygenated water flowing along the bottom which also has fish."
Shirley explained that fish using that deep plume of oxygenated water have to travel up through a deep or anoxic area to reach more abundant oxygen.
"Many do not make it. If they do, they may find the surface water too hot for them to acclimate quickly or their gas bladder expands so much that they pop to the surface, unable to swim back down, eventually dying from the bends or temperature shock."
Striped bass, walleye and yellow perch are the most numerous of fish being found dead in recent days on two of the lakes. Beaver Lake doesn't have a population of yellow perch and the kill in Beaver Lake primarily affected only a few walleye and striped bass.
Bull Shoals no longer is stocked with striped bass although it once was and still has some older fish remaining. Beaver Lake has a revitalized population of walleye. Yellow perch, smaller relatives of walleye, are not a significant sport fish in Arkansas but are a food source for stripers, walleye and other predator fish.
Shirley said, "Fish kills like this occur in normal high water years on Norfork, preventing its stripers from reaching the huge size for which they are capable. Larger fish are affected sooner than smaller ones. Bull Shoals and Beaver, with less fertile water, usually suffer these kills only after extreme high water events such as this year. High water temperatures speed up the oxygen depletion, making this year even worse than would have been expected from high inflows alone.
"While these fish kills were anticipated this year, and on Bull Shoals and Norfork may be severe enough that anglers notice the temporary decline in walleye and striper populations, the increase in food and great spawns will be even more apparent in the future. These fish kills usually occur over a period of weeks and will end when the surface water temperatures decline enough that the layers begin to mix."
After several months of high water, Beaver Lake is back near normal. Lake Norfork is slightly above normal, and Bull Shoals Lake is currently about five feet above normal.

Ute Wartenberg Kagan, Executive Director
Ute Wartenberg Kagan, whose research interest focus on ancient Greek coinage, has spent most of her academic career in the museum world. Since 1999 she has been the Executive Director of the American Numismatic Society and from 1991 to 1998 she worked as Curator of Greek Coins in the British Museum in London. She has organized many exhibitions in the British Museum and the ANS, including Drachmas, Doubloons and Dollars, The History of Money, which was opened at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York in January 2002 by Alan Greenspan and attracted around 30,000 visitors. Dr. Wartenberg Kagan also co-organized with the Athens Numismatic Museum one of the earliest on-line numismatic exhibitions (Presveis: One currency for Europe), which was sponsored by funding from the European Union.
Dr. Wartenberg Kagan takes an active interest in current US coinage. In 2000 she testified in a hearing on coin design organized by the US Senate Committee on Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs. In 2002, she was appointed by the Secretary of the Treasury to the Citizens Commemorative Coin Advisory Committee and subsequently to the Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee, of which she was Chairman from 2003-2004. Since 2008 she has served as a Trustee of the Saint-Gaudens Memorial, which promotes the work of the sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens.
Her research interests focus on the early archaic coins and economy of Greece and the Achaemenid Empire, and in particular on the role of the earliest coins in electrum and silver in the 6th century BCE. She is also preparing a book on the coinage of the Thessalian city of Pherae, which examines the role of coinage in a region of Greece, which was primarily known for its agricultural richness. Since 1991, she has been working on Coin Hoards, a series dedicated to collecting all information on ancient Greek hoards, which she now edits with Andrew Meadows.
Educated in Saarbrücken, Germany, Dr. Wartenberg Kagan was a Rhodes Scholar at Oxford University, where she got a doctorate in papyrology. Her publications include over 50 books and articles on papyrology and numismatics, including Coins Hoards VIII and Coin Hoards IX (with Andrew Meadows), After Marathon. War, Society and Money in Fifth-Century Greece; The Oxyrhynchus Papyri. Vol. LXIV. Dr. Wartenberg Kagan is frequently interviewed for newspapers, radio and television. In her spare time she works with her husband and daughter at her farm in upstate New York.

dc.description.abstract | Malaria is a curable disease that claims nearly one million lives each year. Problems with the treatment of malaria arise as resistance spreads and new treatment options are becoming less effective. The need for new treatments are of the utmost importance. Liposomes combined with antimalarials are a new avenue for research as liposomes can increase the efficacy of drugs against pathogens, as well as decreasing toxicity. Amodiaquine is a drug with known toxicity issues, but has proven to be effective and is, therefore, a prime candidate to be incorporated into the liposomal drug delivery system. The aim of this study was to prepare, characterize and evaluate the toxicity of the liposomes with incorporated amodiaquine. The solubility of amodiaquine was determined and liposomes formulated with, and without, amodiaquine entrapped. Accelerated stability studies (at 5 'C, 25 'C with relative humidity of 60% and 40 'C with a relative humidity of 40%) were conducted during which the size, pH, morphology and the entrapment efficacy was determined. The toxicity was determined in vitro by analysing the levels of reactive oxidative species and lipid peroxidation caused by the formulations to erythrocytes infected with P. falciparum as well as uninfected erythrocytes with flow cytometry. The solubility study of amodiaquine in different pH buffers showed that amodiaquine was more soluble at lower pH values. Solubility in solution with pH 4.5 was 36.3359 ± 0.7904mg/ml when compared to the solubility at pH 6.8, which was 15.6052 ± 1.1126 mg/ml. A buffer with a pH of 6 was used to ensure adequate solubility and acceptable compatibility with cells. Liposomes with incorporated amodiaquine were formulated with entrapment efficacies starting at 29.038 ± 2.599% and increasing to 51.914 ± 1.683%. The accelerated stability studies showed the median sizes and span values remained constant for both liposome and amodiaquine incorporated liposomes at 5 'C. The higher temperatures, i.e. 25 'C and 40 'C, displayed increases in the median size, and decreases in the span for both formulations. The conclusion can, therefore, be made that both liposome and amodiaquine incorporated liposomes are stable at lower temperatures. The entrapment efficacy increased from initial values to nearly 100% during the course of the stability study. This was attributed to amodiaquine precipitating from the solution. The pH values of the liposomes and amodiaquine incorporated liposomes remained constant for each formulation; though the amodiaquine incorporated liposomes had a lower starting pH, the formulations are both thought to be stable in terms of the pH. Toxicity studies revealed low levels of reactive oxygen species as well as low levels of lipid peroxidation for both liposome and amodiaquine incorporated liposomes, on both erythrocyte and Plasmodium infected erythrocytes. From the toxicity studies it can be concluded that liposomes and amodiaquine incorporated liposomes are not toxic to erythrocytes and infected erythrocytes. It was concluded that liposomes incorporating amodiaquine could possibly be used as a treatment option for malaria. | en_US |

Mind mapping is a software category intended to help an organization's workers make sense out of complicated subjects. In the modern world of constantly interconnected Big Data and too-frequent workplace interruptions, we can't help but wonder why more organizations do not use such products.
This review roundup focuses on leading mind mapping software solutions in overlapping subcategories. None of the products in this category are name brands but most of them have impressive customer lists. At the low end, applications cost just a few dollars per user, and those costs extend to several hundred dollars for enterprise-worthy versions.
Two products, Bloomfire and Front & Main Honey, emphasize social aspects of traditional knowledge management approaches. Both products have a similar user experience (UX) to those of Facebook and Reddit. You could think of these as social intranets, in other words. Their general use involves posting a series of online surveys, questions, or suggestions for colleagues' consideration. Colleagues, in turn, post answers and comments. Anyone can search for past discussion topics, and there's typically a way to "like" and share the most useful threads.
For example, a product engineer could post an early draft of your company's latest widget to get department-wide feedback. A saleswoman could answer negotiation questions posed by junior staff or the entire team could have a discussion about their upcoming holiday party. Traditionally, such activities would happen by email or, at best, by using an intranet message board (if not physical memos). Modern software makes these collaboration tasks easier.
Bloomfire has some integration with Salesforce Chatter. But we think the general opportunity for Bloomfire, Front & Main Honey, or any other similar product is limited to the extent that tech giants such as Facebook fail to make headway in selling private installations to businesses.
Three other products—Mindjet MindManager 2016 for Windows, Expert Software Applications Mindomo, and XMind—are designed with mind mapping as their main function. Such apps are a mixture of flow charting and project management tools. Among these three, XMind stands out for being based on an open-source platform. Take the same scenarios as stated earlier. Rather than just discussing company ideas in a social environment (perhaps with kludged diagrams), the mind mapping tools let colleagues consider every detail of a plan in a very formal way. They aren't nearly as fun but their structure is more appropriate for conservative corporations—which is to say, most offices, even if the social products are sexier.
Expert Software Applications Mindomo is the Editors' Choice winner in this review roundup. It has all of the same basic features as XMind and Mindjet MindManager 2016 for Windows, but also includes a basic level of social networking. It's pricey but not to an extent that would intimidate many organizations. Plus, it can ease a business into a more social decision-making mindset.
What Is Mind Mapping?
Image credit: tonybuzan.com
Mind mapping is simply a visual way to convey your thoughts and ideas. As a concept, mind mapping is widely attributed to inventor Tony Buzan who believes they are the best way to take notes. Buzan says a mind map "harnesses the full range of cortical skills—word, image, number, logic, rhythm, color and spatial awareness—in a single, uniquely powerful manner." In the book, The Mind Map Book: How to Use Radiant Thinking to Maximize Your Brain's Untapped Potential," co-author Buzan describes mind maps as "being constructed in a colorful, tree-like fashion."
And in his article on mind maps, PCMag's Rob Marvin explains mind mapping as a "visual means of organizing information, typically through a web-like diagram," and describes ways in which project managers can use mind maps to visualize every moving part of their project workflow.
Ideas for Improvement
We have a few suggestions for how mind mapping products could be more even more useful; these suggestions center around adding artificial intelligence (AI) and wiki integration and beefing up security. In the social-first services, we think an interesting addition would be AI software that scans users' browsing, customer relationship management (CRM), email, and database activities to automatically suggest when useful information should be captured.
Because these products are all intended to help manage your team members' big ideas, we think they should include tools for integrating with a wiki. Other than the Bloomfire/Salesforce.com partnership, these products don't yet work deeply with CRM software and human resources (HR) products.
And, other than normal cloud service log-ins and a way to password-protect various tidbits here and there, none of the apps focus heavily on security. Some businesses may be leery of buying a product specifically to hold their employees' best ideas unless there are extremely strong security pitches. There should be an option for marking content as only accessible when you touch your device's fingerprint sensor. That way, even if you lose your phone when it's in an unlocked mode, the person who finds it still cannot access your company's best ideas.
Still, any of the mind mapping software solutions in this review roundup will be helpful to your business as they currently stand. Giving employees a structured way to record and share their ideas with each other solves the problem of good ideas being lost to cliques and unproductive meetings or at the proverbial water cooler.
Products such as Front & Main Honey have an extremely low barrier to entry, XMind has impressive developer tools (and can be improved by letting your programmers run wild with its open-source code base), and Expert Software Applications Mindomo represents the beginning of what could be, as the subcategories of social intranets and mind mapping software discover each other. Bloomfire is a powerful cloud app, and Mindjet MindManager 2016 for Windows has strong Microsoft Office integration. The field decidedly lacks an app that does all of these things very well, but it will be interesting to check back in 6-12 months to see where things stand.
