The main goals of the project have been met or exceeded. These included documenting the mycota through field work, developing a comprehensive database of collections, improving facilities for mycological studies in Costa Rica, and training students. The development of this web site was an added feature.
Field Work.--The PIs and the project's Postdoctoral Research Associate made extensive collections during multiple field trips each year since July 1993. The three Costa Rican graduate students trained through this project (see section on education below) regularly collected during each rainy season since August 1993. Long-term study plots/areas were developed at four sites (San Gerardo de Dota and Jard�n de Dota in the Cordillera Talamanca, and Prusia and Bosque del Ni�o in the Cordillera Central). Luís D. Gómez continued his long-term sampling of the mycota in the southern Talamanca mountains. Over 2000 collections consisting of over 400 identified species and a large number of undescribed taxa were obtained during this field work. Based on the number of previously uncollected and undescribed species found on each trip, we believe extensive additional collecting will be necessary to document the agaric mycota of Costa Rican forests. These collections are deposited in the Mycological Herbarium, University of Costa Rica and /or at INBio (Costa Rican National Biodiversity Institute) with duplicates housed at The Field Museum or The New York Botanical Garden.
Development of comprehensive database.-- Specimens obtained during field work, as well as historical specimens, have been entered into databases residing at FMNH, NYBG, and INBio, and UCR. These data are searchable at the following URLS: http://sciweb.nybg.org/science2/hcol/cric/index.asp and http://emuweb.fieldmuseum.org/botany/search_crf.php.
Upgrading Mycological Facilities in Costa Rica.-- Laptop computers, cameras, geopositioning devices, and literature were purchased for the mycology programs at the University of Costa Rica and Las Cruces Biological Station to facilitate databasing, describing specimens, and georeferencing collections. Improvements in the Mycological Herbarium at the University of Costa Rica included the purchase of specimen boxes to store collections, new herbarium cabinets, and air conditioner and dehumidifiers to provide appropriate environmental conditions in the herbarium for the long-term preservation of collections. The purchase and/or donation of pertinent mycological literature is ongoing. A new 4-wheel drive vehicle was purchased for use by the project and by the School of Biology at UCR. New herbarium cabinets, computers, and a camera were purchased for INBio through this grant and the NIH supplement.
Student Training.-- Three Costa Rican students have been trained through this project. Loengrin Umaña Tenorio and Milagro Mata Hidalgo defended their theses in March 1995 and received degrees of Licenciatura (Mata Hidalgo, 1995; Uma�a Tenorio, 1995). Milagro Mata Hidalgo has moved on to the first Mycology Curator position at INBio (funded by NIH, see below, under expansion of project). Recently, Loengrin Umaña has also been hired at INBio as an Assistant Curator. Juan Luis Mata finished a M.S. degree in November 1997. He has now completed his Ph.D. at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville in fungal systematics. The PIs and Postdoc served as members of the committees for each of these students. Additional undergraduates at UCR have been exposed to organismal level biology through their work in the fungal herbarium. The grant's Postdoctoral Research Associate, A. E. Franco-Molano obtained much field and herbarium experience through this project in addition to extensive informal teaching experience. She is now a Professor at the Universidad de Antioquia, Medellín, Colombia where she has developed an active research and teaching program in mycology. Additionally, five North American students participated in field trips to introduce them to tropical mycology. Three of these students were funded by sources other than the grant. Also, three North American agaric specialists participated in field work to enhance their collaboration on the project; they were funded by sources other than the grant. Juan Luis Mata and Julieta Carranza conducted research at NYBG (trips paid by NYBG) and the Field Museum (supported by the grant). Milagro Mata Hidalgo spent two weeks at the Field Museum working on Costa Rican collections and learning fungal culture techniques. Mueller, through his NIH funded project (see below), hired and trained INBio's first fungal curator and parataxonomist, Milagro Mata and Carolina Cano, respectively.
Expansion of Project.-- Mueller received a grant from the joint NIH-NSF Bioprospecting Opportunity Awards Program (BOA) to expand this project to include screening collections for anti-AIDs and anti-cancer compounds. This project is a cooperation between Field Museum, INBio, and The U.S. National Cancer Institute. This project provided support and training for Milagro Mata, Curator of Macrofungi, INBio, and Carolina Cano, INBio's first fungal parataxonomist plus equipment and supplies that helped establish the herbarium and mycology program at INBio.
A supplement was obtained by Halling from NSF to fund a weeklong "Workshop on Basidiomycetes." 18 students and professors from Guatamala, Nicaragua, Honduras, El Salvador, Costa Rica, and Panama attended. The workshop was held in November 2001 at the QERC Research Station in San Gerardo de Dota. A second workshop was held in June 2003, at Santa Rosa in Guanacaste Province.

I used to be allowed to have non-related Giants graphics in my signature. It was just a signature showing my stats for Battlefield 3. Being that I'm ranked 50th in the World with the M5K, I liked showing it off. It's not an offensive signature, it was just from this site http://bf3stats.com/stats_360/The%20...rg500#start_50 that has signatures of all types that updates your signature in real-time. I don't know what happened while I was gone, perhaps people abused it as I used to see women in thongs and whatnot, but my signature is just from a video game and well, I feel naked without a signature.
Can we please bring back the ability to use non-football related signatures? As long as they're work safe, I don't see why not. I remember when the forum didn't even allow users to post pictures because people abused that feature, but it's not fair to the users because some people don't know how to act.
This was the signature I was using
I've been on and off these forums for over ten years, way back during the Dave Brown era, so I'm not new, despite the fact that my join date isn't as old. I just would forget my log in info at times and my e-mail address. I thank the mod who revived (LOL I play BF3 too much) this account for me. Any community input would be appreciated, as I'm sure there are others who like graphic design and have had non-football related signatures of their own.
This is the only forum I post on, so of course I'd love to use said signature above. If it's offensive, there are other ones, but I don't see why it would.

Coach Gary Patterson confirmed in a brief statement that Pachall has been suspended indefinitely.
CBSSports.com' Dennis Dodd spoke to Fort Worth police, who told him that Pachall, 21, was pulled over near TCU's campus shortly before 1 a.m. Thursday morning for running a stop sign. Pachall subsequently registered a blood-alcohol concentration of greater than .15 – nearly twice the legal limit in Texas, .08. He was reportedly being held this morning on $1,000 bond.
During a bust at the residence he shared with Brock, Pachall reportedly told police on Feb. 15 that he had failed a drug test and had smoked marijuana within the past week or two of that night. According to a police report first obtained by a student-run website, TCU360.com, Pachall also admitted to using cocaine and ecstasy within the past year, but maintained "both were just a one-time thing and [he] hasn't done either since."
Pachall also admitted to using cocaine and ecstasy within the past year
Why would you admit this again?
quote:Honestly after all the crap that he's done/admitted too, blowing greater than a freaking .15 on a Wednesday Night before a game is still absolutely mind-numbing.
He's not admitting it again, just giving a new rundown on his issues, which clearly seem bigger than maybe anyone would have thought.
quote:Of if we're talking tats, he's got a few:
is that a tat behind his ear?
what a moron.
he couldnt find a freshman on the team or a sorority girl to be his driver?
True, but it seems as if this DWI is only the tip of the iceberg for this guy. It seems as if he was almost apart of those 18 people who got arrested back in February for drugs and he did admit to using cocaine and ecstasy...which is far worse than a DWI imo. At least it could be potentially.

Reviews of this property
We did have a good time exploring New York from the appartment of Gabriela. The appartment is situated in a very quiet and nice neighborhood and we also were able to park our car in front of the appartment. It only takes 10 minutes by bus to get to port authority from where you easily can go anywhere in New York. The appartment is very clean, generously sized and you can use Wlan, TV, kitchen and utitities or sit in on the terrace. Gabriela is very friendly and supportive and helped us with all our questions and gave good recommendations. We can recommend a stay in the appartment. Thank you again Gabriela for your hostility!
Hello. We had three very nice days in NYC. The room which we had booked, is located in a HausMit three other rooms for two people each. The house is already furnished with kitchen and living room. Our room was quite small. However, it is needed only there to sleep. My mattress was quite worn. I have rotated and so it went. Gabriella is very nice and friendly. You can park in the area. Public transport is also very possible.
We thought the room is located in Brooklyn, as it was shown on Google maps so. It is, however, in the 20th street in Union Cit New Jersey. Is located there but with a great view of Manhattan. Can I book safe! !
Hallo. Wir hatten drei sehr schöne Tage in NYC. Das Zimmer welches wir gebucht hatten, befindet sich in einem HausMit drei weiteren Zimmern für je zwei Personen. Das Haus ist schon mit Küche und Wohnzimmer eingerichtet. Unser Zimmer War ziemlich klein. Doch man benötigt es ja nur zum schlafen. Meine Matratze war ziemlich durchgelegen. Ich habe die gedreht und damit ging es. Gabriella ist sehr nett und freundlich. Parken kann man in der Umgebung. ÖPNV ist auch gut möglich.
Wir dachten das Zimmer liegt in Brooklyn, da es bei Google maps so eingezeichnet war. Es befindet sich jedoch in der 20th street in Union Cit New Jersey. Ist aber dort gelegen mit einem tollen Blick auf Manhattan. Kann man unbedenklich buchen! !
Reviews for this host's other properties
We had a great holiday with the most beautiful weather. We did enjoy the little garden alot where we were able to sit all five of us.
In house that´s impossible. There are only one couch for two persons and one couch for three. And one toilet is not much if you want to be ten persons in the house. That's not recommendable. It is hard to believe the house is 150 square meters.
It cost USD 3.0 or 3.5 with the bus per person to Manhattan one way. It's very easy though.
Don´t take a taxi from JFK airport to this apartment, it is to expensive and the trafic is horible. But the way with train, subway and bus is too long. Find another airport if you want to stay in New Jersey.
I had a great time at this apartment. It is really close to the bus stops to\from NYC. Gabriela and Robert are kind and responcive people.
Gabriella and her family are very lovely hosts. The accommodation is close to Manhattan (20-30 min to Times Square, depending on the traffic with bus nr. 123), bed room and bathroom (NYC vista!!!) were very clean and we could use a comfortable living room / balcony with down town NYC vista (That was great!).
It is indeed relaxing and calm after a busy day in NYC.
Don´t be afraid of the dog :-)
Just a small comment: call Gabriella before you arrive.
Good transport connection (20 min to manhattan), optimum Price/ performance ratio, safe and quiet place, Gaby is a nice person who gives us good informations to find her place
Thank you Gaby! Great hostess and one of the best views apapartamentos with Manhattan !! CCómodo, quiet and 15 few minutes by bus from the Big Apple.
Gracias a ti Gaby! Gran anfitriona y con uno de los apapartamentos con mejores vistas a Manhattan!! CCómodo, tranquilo y a 15 min escasos en bus de la Gran Manzana.
We had a really great time in Gaby's appartment. When we arrived she gave us an upgrade because there was a better room that was not hired yet! I can't tell how this appartment was but the upgrade was great! We've got a big suite just arround the block with our own bathroom and a big kitchen. Also great was our view from the balcony on the skyline of NYC! I would really recommand everybody that travels on a budget to hire this room or something else from Gaby.
The distance to NYC with bus #123 was not far. Just a 2 minute walk to the busstop and when you travel after rush hour you can be on Times Square in 20 to 30 minutes. Don't travel before 9:00 AM because then you can get stuck in traffic for more then 1 hour.
Thanks Gaby for all your help and your quick respond on all our questions and i will definitely book your room again when i come back to NYC!
Although outside NYC, is in a quiet neighborhood on the other side of the Hudson, is just 15 minutes by bus to get to Times Square !!!
100% recommended to visit the city peacefully and rest from the bustle of the Big Apple. Supers are a couple nearby and plenty of cafes and restaurants if you do not want to cook.
As for the apartment, they made the pictures before I entered it and I can say is that i as shown. Modern, useful and with all amenities. Perhaps he lacked a little cleaning, but minor issue.
Gaby will be happy to welcome us and was great! We prepared a terrific american breakfast the first day and explained a few tricks to move better in the city !!
Actually, a pleasure and something that certainly repeat if I return to NY.
Regards, Montse and Arnau.
Aunque fuera de la ciudad de NY, está en un tranquilo barrio a la otra orilla del Hudson, sólo son 15 minutos de bus para llegar a Times Square!!!
100% recomendable para visitar tranquilamente la ciudad y descansar del ajetreo de la gran manzana. Hay un par de súpers cerca y infinidad de cafeterías y restaurantes si no quieres cocinar.
En cuanto al apartamento, hicieron las fotos antes que entrase yo en él y puedo decir que es tal i como se ve. Moderno, útil y con todas las comodidades. Quizá le faltase un poco más de limpieza, pero es tema menor.
Gaby estará encantada de recibirles y con nosotros estuvo genial! Nos preparó un american breakfast buenísimo el primer día y nos explicó unos trucos para poder movernos mejor por la ciudad!!
La verdad, todo un placer y algo que sin duda repetiría si regreso a NY.
Saludos, Montse y Arnau.
Nice place to stay outside of Manhattan but still close by and only 15 min drive to the Center.
Clean, enough space, and friendly owners!

The University of Calgary is a large, complex organization with a number of audiences and a number of different stories to tell. We compete provincially, nationally and internationally for resources, students and attention. Speaking clearly and with a consistent voice and look is key to being both recognized and understood. Whether we are trying to secure fundraising support, market a new course or program, or announce a piece of news – we are in competition for the hearts and minds of our target audiences and they are exposed to thousands of messages everyday.
To cut through the clutter, it is essential for the University of Calgary to present a unique, memorable and easily recognizable visual identity that sets us apart. And, we must do so consistently and coherently. Our visual identity is one of our most valuable assets in this marketplace. We must make it as easy as possible for people to recognize information from the University of Calgary. The application and usage of our logo, colours, typography and design standards is one important element in achieving that objective.
In September 2013, the University of Calgary introduced a revised set of visual identity standards and a vastly simplified system of representing people and groups connected to the university. The refreshed system introduces a more logically structured and streamlined visual approach to how the university presents itself and its work to the world. The primary objective of this change is to embrace the commitment to creating "one university family." The Academic Plan – part of the roadmap to achieving our Eyes High goals – highlights the need to work together to create a shared future and unified environment on campus. Simplifying our visual identity system is an important and practical shift in this direction. Read the Frequently Asked Questions about our identity or review our Visual Identity Standards.
Given the challenging budgetary environment in which we work, this project will roll out as an ongoing evolution (rather than a costly one-time change), feeding into natural business and project cycles as opportunities arise, beginning with introduction in September and continuing through 2016. There will be many questions and points of consultation as this rolls out. Use the email@example.com email address as needed.


text: Aloha everyone!! I've got a 2001 5.3l 4wd ext cab. My truck was previously a work truck and the suspension has been abused. I'm looking to upgrade some parts but I'm not sure what is available for my truck. I want to keep the truck at stock height. I'm running aftermarket rims with bigger tires. I have already replaced both front wheel bearings. Upgraded brakes and rotors. List of what I want to change: Both upper and lower ball joints Energy suspension sway bar bushings Pitman arm and idler Tie rod ends (these are currently bad) Possible upper control arm bushings (energy suspension) The only brand that I have found that offers a beefier setup is "Cognito" but they don't offer anything for my model truck, only for the "HD" models. Can anyone recommend another brand/company? I'll jump on Summit Racing site and browse. I've found some dirt cheap parts on Ebay but I'm hesitant off China made products. Mahalo!! - - - Updated - - - No responses? I'll just get some Moog **** then.

[All B/W photos by Vivian Maier]
Well, here you go. Looks like someone's been shooting at this book. Oh my. How odd.
Possibly most glow eleemosynary thing said about me. Go Fog!
Lovelace is the internet and independent literature's biggest proponent of flash fiction (that and nachos)
Now let's move on to that genre with all the compression of a good Tennessee river mussel, FLASH FICTION:
[Wait. Wait. Check out One Drawing for Every Page of Moby-Dick. Please? This dude is glowing like bearings-o-balls. Like pressed sparrows or the moment before a thrown harpoon.]
Cover: Cover is by the artist Grayson Castro. Here is a photo (below) of Grayson since these days everyone just has to know what a person looks like. External appearance versus the inner significance of man. Grayson likes hot sauce. BTW, I like the name Grayson. Seems like a person who could tar a rooftop and cook a decent pizza on the same Tuesday evening.
Cover image is of a skateboard kid with lacerations and an edible candy necklace. Kid's name is Worm, I'm sure. When you meet him he goes, "Yo my name's worm." He says it quickly. That's his standard greeting: "Yo my name's worm."
He averages 111 at duckpin bowling. So? I sort of love Bingo and duckpin bowling and coming out of the deep woods on tiptoe. Wade upstream, that's a safety tip, folks. For Bingo you bring your own little marker pen and a flask. BINGO! Sometimes the sound of water running over stones makes me believe everything will be OK, for a moment.
"Whoa. What happened to your face? You look like gummy Worm."
Worm picks at bottom lip. (See how I mixed dialogue and gesture? Do that, could you? You. Writer. Could you?)
"Was front-siding a rail-stand off a jet yo at the airbase big ass blue jet with flames yowzers!"
This is a lie. No way Worm did a skate trick off a jet. The nearest airbase is military and you walk up asunder to a parked military jet and a soldier shoots you. That's their job: to shoot anyone approaching the jet. They get a monthly paycheck to shoot your ass. That's just reality, Holmes.
[I utilized the term asunder incorrectly.]
[I will run a marathon tomorrow and I feel anxious. Why? Well, a week ago I sort of bruised or ripped some cartilage about my ribs and it feels like a glowing ember of coal in there and will this affect my lung capacity? Maybe. Who knows? Hey, I know let's WAIT AND SEE.]
[Here is a writing prompt, if you need a fucking writing prompt, you apothecary-pants. Who needs writing prompts? OK, here's a writing prompt, press your little fingers on those clicky little keys on your computer and start making black pixels on the gleaming white face of your computer mooning you for needing writing prompts.]
How did Worm get his face all huddle-muck?
[Why use the word, utilized? So affected. Let's use the word, use.]
Worm? How he got that face?
1. Installing ground effects on Ford Escort. Jack collapsed.
2. K-Mart manager hit Worm with a bag full of quahog clams.
How about when Teebow gets Tee-bowed? Hell. Yes. I saw it live and made me feel like I was wrapped in a blanket of steaming creamed potatoes. It also, for the first time, made me feel for Teebow. I mean he was dropped into an odd, odd play. And now he has to learn lines he doesn't know how to speak. Drooping. Drooping. Well, at least he got paid. In God we trust, etc.
3. The glory of his mind flared up and charred Worm's face.
4. Worm met a little group of writers and they workshopped his forehead over red wine in a living room with hardwood floors and framed sketches of flowers and a bowl of oxygen.
4. I do not know. Kids like Worm are flooded gardens full of dazes and lacerational faces. They are reflections in bowls of lunchtime corn flakes, misting away. We are all Worm, really, and really not at all. Ever had your bike stolen? I did twice. Wait. Three times.
Inside the Cover:
Here is a photo of Brian Oliu. I took this while we were at his house eating nachos and cracking open a Rubik's Cube. Brian lives in Alabama but I was visiting his California vacation home, the one located alongside a fieldwagon standing in a darkly cobbled tunnel of summer's long discontent, as you can see. Outside Brian's door the sardines were once so thick you could actually walk across their backs to Hawaii. A sparkling mercury shiver-bridge. But not anymore. No. Not anymore. BTW, that couple in the background are my helicopter parents. They enjoy sit-coms and sexting.
Brian leads NANO Fiction Volume 4 Number 2 with "Tuscaloosa Missed Connection: bullseye-Target-m4w-22."
I thought this piece glow because it appropriates form. He is a formalist, in this way. This structure is borrowed from a Craig's List category. Three things I know: 1. Brian actually has an entire Tuscaloosa Craig's List Missed Connections Project, and 2. The meaning of Brian's work cannot be paraphrased, since content and form are inseparable, and 3. The 15th Street Diner in Tuscaloosa has damn good cole slaw.
Ok, you have a character that is hungover. Write that their eyes… "were red lines on an atlas. No carrot slivers, in the cole slaw of his bloated face."
There you go. You can have that one. Really, take it. Like most of what I pen, it is about as keen as a dropped soup. Enjoy.
Brandi Wells writes about someone's hands falling off, and hey, we've all been there. Do you remember the time Brandi Wells wrote a letter to Grammar? I do. It happened to appear here the same day I started my hobby of shelling beans, a very painful hobby that led to callouses and foot-splinters and, yes, my hands falling off. (My habit was to shell them on the front porch, like my grandmother did back in the olden days of eating raw turnips with a nip of corn whiskey.) A person always remembers pain, always will keep those memories of pain clamped away in the purple bird-calls of the mind.
[One time a man and his son were watching a parade and Abraham Lincoln passed by in a tall carriage. The man slapped his son in the face! Why did you hit me, the son cried. The man said, I wanted you to remember the day you saw Abraham Lincoln.]
Dear Grammar,
I am always misspelling you. And you smile when you correct me, but it's a hard smile. It's a smile that looks like you want to murder me.
And remember that time I told you I was sick? You told me I could go home, not to worry about it, but you didn't sound like you meant it. You voice was saying SIT IN YOUR CUBICLE AND CORRECT EVERYTHING.
Have you even sat in one of these cubicles? Sitting with my back to the opening makes me think that someone will come up behind me and hit me in the neck.
It is easy to die from being hit in the neck. Why do we have to sit in these little boxes? What's so great about these goddamn boxes?
I get the feeling that no matter what I'm doing, you're sitting right outside the cubicle listening. Probably taking notes. Later you will type it all up and send it to me via email. You will format your email in the form of PQP (praise, question, polish) and the polish will tell me where the wrong commas are and how then is different from than. When whan when whan when whan.
If you send this letter back to me with trackback comments about what I can do better, I quit.
[How Kim Kardashian turns the reality business into an art. Do read.
Andy Warhol, the original celebrity artist (who also painted celebrities) showed the way. ]
Here is a photo of Brandi Wells just whaling on some kid, probably Cher:
Widowers is a very effective meditation on grief it is an engine a quiet engine thrilling along below the skin the skin of verbs–slurps, chews, dreams–quiet engine like the shadow of a moth eating the final last cone of flickering French fries. French fries? What? Fail by me. But. Well done, writer and musician, Jaydn DeWald.
Janee Baugher writes well of the claustrophobia of a shitty relationship. The frustrating loneliness of the thing. The way a relationship makes you doubt yourself, since weren't you the very guide that led us to this impasse? And time leaks away…leaks away. And I think this author has a good feel for when to use direct dialogue versus indirect and this wonderfully charged line of direct dialogue–"I met someone and we fucked"–is a fine turn, a fine mule-kick to start the unraveling leaving of an end.
[Aside? Lucy Corin on a sentence.]
Also. This about one of Janee's books: Written during a six-week trip through Europe, COÖRDINATES OF YES marries nuances of travel (loneliness, restlessness, adventure, reverie, risk, discovery) with ekphrasis (poems inspired by the visual arts). Words.
ekphrasis sort of a glow word.
Here is a photo of Janee, because I know you have an inquisitive mind:
[Here is a brief Mary Miller interview at The Short Review. I like when she goes all:
I like stories that put me in another person's life and make me feel what he/she feels. I don't think they have to be complete, or have resolutions. For the most part, life doesn't have fast or easy resolutions and I don't think stories should have them, either. As such, my stories are often called "slices-of-life" or "vignettes" and it still bugs me (because people mean it as an insult) but I don't really care. I like vignettes.]
But I digress…
Thomas O'Connell, in "Before and After," reaches beyond the confines of realism and draws upon the energies of fable, folk tale, belches, and myth while maintaining a strong contemporary social relevance. That's not easy to do, folks. Believe me. I've tried. I tried to go Magical Realism just last week and ended up losing my car, in a slice of cornbread.
Speaking of the metaphorical, have you read Meagan Cass over at SmokeLong? A lot of flash writers attempt the conceptual flash, the flash where the title is striving for metaphor, a controlling conceit: the egg is fragile but holds life, etc., etc. Here we have an example that absolutely works. This is the one I would show yourself or your students (along with others–Amelia Gray anyone?). Cass pulls the idea off, by controlling tone, level of realism, and structural integrity. The egg is form equals function here, not some forced and pressed idea. So. Take a look-see. Glow.
Fade in, fade out:
Cloudy Honey is one of those texts that takes language, sharpens the feet of its font, then lops your bloody arms off.
he pours whiskey into a smile
i keep mowing the lawns of these same mistakes
her beehives spin themselves in my closets.
These sentences made me want to reach for a bottle of ink, twist off the cap, and drink it right done. Think I'll get online and see if I can find me some more Hafizah Geter.
Here you go. This one is a bright pool hummingbird blood.
Here yo go. This one is a prime-time orgy full of AA sponsors.
"There is a Time in Every Young Man's Life When He Must Kill a Snake" is the best title in NANO Fiction Volume 4 Number 2. It is a flash by Adam Moorad. I know Adam well, since we both admire H. G. Wells, especially the earlier novels, and Adam and I actually co-wrote a grant that involved translating all of H.G. Wells's earlier novels from English to French and then from French to Russian and then back into English, just to see how the process would affect the many forms and lengths and open, unlimited subject matters (from fantastic to stark realism) or conventions of narrative structure or grammar within those earlier works. Anyway, the grant was never funded. Here is a photo of Adam, naked:
[I ran a half marathon last week. I ran 1:24:10. The race REALLY made me blar. Mojo Blar! ARGGGHHHH! It made my head go taffy that has been eaten, spat out, and sculpted into horrible little Taffy Peoples. The race was organized by truth-twisters! They said finisher's medal but they gave us a refrigerator magnet! They said gels throughout the course and they had ONE gel station. They said aid stations EVERY mile and they were scattered about, water only. Water. The fucking age group prizes were a jar, one mason jar. I could go on, but I won't go on. I won't go on. I won't go on…What is the point? I did get in a good run for this week's marathon, so. Life…]
On page 25 of NANO Fiction Volume 4 Number 2 there is a acrylic on canvas artwork of a naked person. Here it is. Be sure to turn away if you are offended by the naked, human form:
We also get images of a teenage girl naked in front of a bicycle, a dog with three eyes, a woman vomiting blood.
Alina Gregorian's "Seagulls" is endearingly odd. The ending line elevates it to that wonderful smile-land of imagination–which is to say it made me smile, thus releasing endorphins, thus bettering my day.
Miguel Morales writes from the perspective of Poland. The text is addressing American tourists. It is playful yet with an undercurrent of seriousness. Not so unlike Zippo tricks, sex, deep sea fishing, or opening and shutting a butterfly knife in church. I do not know Miguel Morales but here is a photo he sent me of his tennis court. I am a tad bit enviousness he owns his own tennis court.
Lena Bertone goes a bit Kafka on us. She adopts this stance in order to encompass the often phantasmagoric political realities of the 20th century. That's understood. Also I like cheese.

Who is Molly Laich? I don't know, but she pulled off a drug flash. You know drug flashes, right?
Hell, they are everywhere. All the more impressive Molly pulled this one just glow. It's the sentence work, the sentences–long, flowing set-up, transition internal monologue, dialogue doing something, turn and return.
Here is her blog.
Here is a photo of her book. It's a memoir about her childhood spent laboring in an Army blanket factory (her cradle an iron trash-bin). Can you imagine living in a blanket factory?
Bradley Harrison drops beautiful language on us like stuttering, flickering leaves in the shower.
Coming slowly down the hillside, smoking dank and slamming the levee, the strange tongue turning the world full of birds in the deep breath.
There is an argument over lyricism in fiction. How much can be maintained? Does flash open itself to this type of squeezed shard versus the novel? Or can a work do both? Here, I just really admire how Harrison nods to poetry, crunks that form into the block, throws a dropped moments back into the air, its apex, caught there. CAUGHT there–this is one role of flash, to throw and catch and show a thing.

Sophie Rosenblum: I'm continuously impressed in your writing by how undaunted you seem to be by blank space. How do you make space work for you, and what advice would you give to writers attempting to move in similar directions?
Edward Mullany: Blank space is most interesting to me when the writer uses it as a canvas onto which the reader's imagination is projected. In other words, it should only look blank. Really it should function as a kind of invisible arena in which the reader's psyche produces some feeling that the writer, by doing his or her work, has elicited.

Here is an interview by the author of Pee on Water.
When talking about The Legend of Zelda, genius Japanese game designer Shigeru Miyamoto said he wanted to take the idea of a game world even further, giving players a "miniature garden that they can put inside their drawer." This is how I see stories, as a little world inside a drawer. I feel the definition of a story is very open, pretty much any clump of words, but I view the experience of reading one much like how Miyamoto describes exploring the new world of a video game.
Here is a photo of the author:
Dear Shelley,
We've returned from our vacation in the nation's capital. We spent most of our time in the museums on the mall. I liked the art museums best.

It feels like such a long time since the last time I saw you.
Watched a Kingfisher hunt the creek this morning, skimming down the alleyway of the creek channel at great speeds and then–PLUNK–diving into the water and out with a silvery flash of fish. I don't know how you sit up high in a tree and watch that and not feel OK for a second. Just a little bit. Ah, the odor of hickory on the gray, morning air.

Since you were leaning towards the Falcons you may want to give this a look: The New Millennium.... Falcon! click on "restoration" and read about the upgrades that were done,hopefully it may inspire you.
I'll throw my hat in. What about a medium body longroof?
A friend of mine just got a 68 coronet (?) station wagon and is planning on doing it up as a specialty Road Runner. The car runs and drives with old, but still serviceable white enamel exterior (from the 80s) with steel rims and poverty caps. Motor is a 360.
If you do get a falcon, or its uppity brother the Mustang/Cougar, remember that if its an inline 6 car, it can be a LOT of time and expense to convert it to a V8. Same with the Mopars. Not a big deal if you can weld and want to install a front clip anyway.
65 novas can be problematic as there are some 1 yr only parts on those.
Don't overlook some of the '73-76 cars. While not in your wheelhouse, they have MUCH better suspension systems (especially the chevelles), and they're not completely ugly (a lot of them just have the rubber pads on the chromed bumpers for example. Easy fix. Also, you don't see a lot of them so people notice. But you don't see a lot of them, trim parts and the like may be a pain to source.
64-69 Rambler Americans are about the same as Falcons and Chevy IIs. Only more interesting because there are fewer or them seen. They will take any drivetrain with minimal work, though of course AMC guys prefer to see AMC engines. Since you mentioned daily driver, you probably don't want a gas hog. The Jeep Cherokee 4.0L drops right in as it was based on the old Rambler six. Not hard to put the EFI in. Scarebird makes a disc brake kit for the front, several vendors make them for the rear. You might want to use a Ranger 8.8" axle, but the early Ranger 7.5" fits and is a lot lighter, and strong enough (thinking DD here!). A better engine and trans for a economical yet spunky DD would be a Ranger 2.5L EFI four, or a Mustang/T-bird 2.3L turbo motor. If you find one of those it will fit in the Falcon/Chavy II/American/Dart compacts as well.
Want something a bit more modern but still easy to drop almost anything under the hood? AMC Hornet/Gremlin or Concord/Spirit. Made for small blocks! I've seen a big block stuffed in one, but that's tight and a lot of work.
Oldsmobile : Cutlass 442 2 Door Hardtop Coupe | eBay
I'm very grateful that you guys turned me on to these slightly larger cars. I'm finding a lot of good examples on craigslist and I'll try to make some time this weekend to go look at one of them.
These are the two searches I'm currently pulling up each morning:

Oh, and I just picked up a 60gal 230v IR compressor (11CFM@40psi) and a Hobart 210MVP.
Just curious, what are your opinions of the trucks of this era? I see quite a few of them out there and I have been thinking of getting a truck anyways.
If you're looking for gas mileage and a truck, there's not much in the 60s -- 60-65 Falcon Ranchero is about it. The 60-63 has that funky early 60s look and is roomy enough. 66-67 is a good size too. The 68-71 is a bit bigger, Torino based, but still not too big, like the 72-79. 64-77 El Caminos are Chevelle based, the 78-87 Malibu based. All are a good size to work with and easy to hot-rod.
All the US trucks were big full sized jobs. You could lightly hop up a six in one ad might get as high as 20-22 mpg on the highway, keep it under 65 mph though. Anything over and aerodynamic drag jumps way up and kills mileage. I was getting 21-22 mpg under 65 with a Jeep J-10 with a six and 4 speed, but when I took a trip in a hurry and cruised at 74 mileage dropped to 10-11 mpg!! The hopped-up six would do it without struggle or complaint though.
Speaking of Jeep... the 47-65 Willys/Kaiser Jeep pickup is small and economical. About the size of the early Courier/Toyota pickups, but definitely 50s styling. They used a small four or six. I've seen them with small blocks, but it's a tight fit. A modern big four or mid size V-6 would motivate it well. 2.5L Jeep Cherokee/Dodge Dakota EFI four or the 2.5L Ranger EFI four would be great in one of those -- good power and decent gas mileage.
If you want Ford/Chevy you'll have to go late 40s/early 50s to get a small to medium sized truck. My brother's 52 Ford F-1 is a good medium size, as are other 48-56 Fords. 47-55 Chevys are a bit bigger looking, may not be much bigger or heavier.
Another great overlooked 60s truck is the 60-64 Studebaker Lark based "Champ" pickup. Basically it's a 60-64 Lark body (the Stude compact car... which would be a great hot-rod itself!) that's been cut off a bit behind the front doors and used as the cab for a pickup. Older Studebaker trucks are interesting too -- similar in size to the 40s and 50s Fords.
You could always hot-rod an early 70s Courier, Toyota, or Datsun truck. One of those with a mild small block or even a V-6 (especially a 4.3L Chevy or 4.0L Ford) would be a fun ride and do some hauling too. Look to the high teens/mid twenties for gas mileage.
I think I'm leaning towards an El Camino. It has a lot of the styling and structural goodness of the Chevelle, and looks like it has a fairly practical bed size. Plus, there's a LOT of them on craigslist!
OK guys, I've got a live one! Need some opinions if you got 'em.
Dude is asking $6500, but he's willing to negotiate. I'm aiming for $4000. It's all original, rust free, originally an Ohio car. He restores/flips cars for a living and says that he hasn't had to do anything to this car and that it runs/drives perfectly.
I know that the 4 door hardtops aren't ideal but I figure a roll cage would solve any rigidity issues.
Or, is this car too nice/original to be modified by yours truly?
You might want to do your homework/research. Look all over the internet and get some sort of average asking price. I have a 1966 Lemans 2DR with a 1967 GTO 400 in it. Lots of parts out there. Most can be found at Original Parts Group.
That sure looks to be a nice 4DR HDT!
Good luck!
You're going to have to spend $400-500 on the rear bumper. If you're swapping out engines, there should be some sort of market for the low image OCH six. The interior looks good. Check the lower rear section of the quarter panel back behind the wheels. You may find rust or evidence of repair. Be sure and look at the floor pans in the trunk. A three speed set up would attract me if I was thinking four speed.
For a nice cruiser/driver as you you stated you wanted, I'd leave the six in there. There are a few parts for it, but might be hard to find. The block is essentially a Chevy 230 six block (66-67, 260 for 68-69), but there were some changes to the casting in the front. IIRC it only uses the crank and rods from a Chevy six (and associated parts like bearings). I'm not sure about the pistons, probably specific to the OHC configuration. Find a 4V intake if you want to pep it up a little. Standard was rated 165 hp, the "Sprint" 4V version was rated 207 hp. There is a forum specifically for these engines (Pontiac Overhead Cam SIX Forum Forums)!! Yeah, I'd say it's a darn nice car, and would be a shame to do a lot of mods that can't be returned back to stock if desired later. The four door hardtop is a cool style. You could shave the outside door handles on the rear doors to really trick people! Okay, shaving the door handles is a bit more than "easily returned to stock" since welding is involved, but door handle holes can be drilled back easy enough... You just wouldn't be able to get in the back seats from outside, use electric door poppers on the inside.
I wouldn't go with a roll bar. Those cars have a full frame. This site has a good photo of the frame with a tubular brace in the center (scroll down): Frame strengthening needed? - Chevelle Tech
Most sites say do nothing to the frame unless you're running over 500 hp. Same frame was used whether the car got a Pontiac 400 (389 in 67?) or OHC six. No extra bracing is needed.
My Aunt had a Tempest Sprint with the 4bbl OHC 6er. Several people in my family have said that car with a wide ratio manual trans (deep 1st gear) would run with just about any street car from stoplight to stoplight. Here in the Northeast; the OHC 6 was banned from competing against the Chevy 6's and flathead 8's in the dirt short track days. Mickey Thompson loved that motor as well. Incidentally Ive seen a few show up at cruise-nights. If the engine is detailed nicely, it usually draws a crowd, compared to a similar GTO or Firebird with a stock looking V8.

Starting Position: Lie on your back on a mat with your knees bent, feet flat on the floor and arms spread out to your sides with your palms facing down. Gently exhale. Engage your abdominal/core muscles to support the spine. Slowly lift your feet off the floor, raising your knees directly above your hips. Bend the knees to 90 degrees. Hold this position and breathe normally. Use your arms as a base of support.
Upward Phase: Exhale, and slowly raise your hips off the mat, rolling your spine up as if trying to bring your knees towards your head. Avoid any change in the angle of your knees during the roll-up. Use your arms and hands to assist with maintaining your balance and continue to curl-up until your spine cannot roll any further. Hold this position briefly.
Downward Phase: Gently inhale. With control, lower your spine and hips back to the start position.Proper form is important when performing this exercise to prevent excessive stress on your low back. When returning to your starting position during the repetitions, control your leg movement. Do not allow your knees to move past your hips, but instead return to a position directly above your hips. Since the abdominals connect the rib cage to the pelvis, the emphasis of the movement should be on pulling your pelvis upwards towards your rib cage.

Bill Granger's lemon chicken
HELP! We were watching Bill Granger's programme on the BBC this morning and really fancied his recipe for lemon chicken. Thinking that all the recipes would be on the website, I didn't write them down. Needless to say, the recipe is not online. Was anyone more on the ball than I was and copied it down? Or does anyone know of a website where I could find it? I've Googled madly to no avail. My boyfriend really wants it for dinner so I'd be eternally grateful if someone could spare me a potential domestic when he realises we'll be having cheese on toast instead. Thanks heaps guys. xx

1 lemon, cut into wedges
3cm piece fresh ginger, peeled and cut into thin strips
4 tbsps honey

Re: Bill Granger's lemon chicken
You're a legend! Thanks so much, saved my skin. Would you mind posting the method too? I wasn't paying much attention to be honest, was more interested in drooling over the finished product...

Re: Bill Granger's lemon chicken
Mmmm. I'd make this. It's everything I love - tart, tangy and sweet in one. But would have to add heat!
Kaff, I'm thinking chicken would be dusted with flour/5 spice, drizzled and browned(?) using veg oil, placed in dish with all other ingredients and baked till it oozes sticky, golden goodness?

Good luck with recipe and putting an end to that craving, Anna!
I'm off to get supplies for a weekend of cooking. I may just have to wing it.
#6 Sat 17 Feb 07 6:02pm
Re: Bill Granger's lemon chicken
If I remember correctly he dipped the chicken in the flour and 5-spice, browned it then finished it off in the oven. The other ingredients were combined in a saucepan and made into a sauce, then poured over the cooked, sliced chicken. Am I miles off?

Re: Bill Granger's lemon chicken
sorry - my connection collapsed - still iffy.
Basically mix the flour, five spice, salt and pepper, dip the chicken in, shallow fry, drain, then bake for 6 minutes in an oven preheated to 180.
Drain all but 2 tbsp oil from the wok, add ginger and lemon and stirfry for 2 minutes. Add honey, rice wine and lemon juice and cook for 1 minute, then add soy sauce, chicken stock and sugar and simmer for 2 mins. Add the cornflour mix and simmer for 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
Slice each chicken breast into 5/6 pieces and serve with sauce spooned over. Hope this works!!!

I have found a few sheets of this aluminium glass fibre insulation and have placed it on top of my hives. Even though its cold now in Sweden one honey comb has collapsed and I cant see a reason why since it was attached on both sides of the wall. Nothing indicates a mice being in there. The comb wasnt eaten just collapsed and by doing so it squashed many bees.
The only thing I can think of is the aluminium part of the insulation creating too much heat? Is this possible? There are no electricity lines near the hives.
Thank you

LRG: Are you currently shacking up with anyone special?
Karla: I am. Sorry guys.
LRG: Lets have this conversation as if you were single.
Karla: Um. OK. I don't really want to say that I don't have a boyfriend.
LRG: Lame. I guess you're whooped. Moving on. I'm just going to cut to the chase, have you've ever been with another girl?
Karla: I haven't yet. I haven't met a girl that has sparked my interest but never say never.
LRG: You've never been bi-curious?
Karla: If I were to ever be with another woman, she would have to look like me. I like my whole look. I think my whole appeal is attractive.
LRG: A little conceded aren't we?
Karla: hahahaha
LRG: Have you ever had a threesome?
Karla: That's every man's fantasy but it has never happened with me, but never say never. I may be open to it but I as of right now it hasn't happened.
LRG: No girls, no threesomes, give us something! What's your favorite position?
Karla: I like reverse cowgirl or doggy style.
LRG: Why reverse cowgirl?
Karla: He gets me from the back and I get to be on top, so we get the best of both worlds in that position.
LRG: What's one of your sexual fantasies?
Karla: You know what, I have not really thought about that.
LRG: What do you mean you've never thought about that?
Karla: Honestly my man gets everything done.
LRG: Whatever, I don't believe that. You just don't want him to whoop your ass when he reads this.
Karla: No, no, no, no, I mean I'll say a threesome but that's more of his fantasy. He pretty much satisfies me.
Once I get to the point of extreme pleasure and climax, I am definitely a screamer
LRG: What does he do to satisfy you?
Karla: He kind of, um, well he does what I say. He pleases me and then when he is done I please him.
LRG: And by pleasing you, you mean he pays your bills, cleans the house and so on?
Karla: What?
LRG: Nothing, let's keep moving along. What's the craziest place that you've had sex at?
Karla: The hood of a car.
LRG: Where was the car parked?
Karla: It was in a deserted street on patchy grassland.
LRG: Have you ever had sex anywhere where you would have more of a chance to get caught?
Karla: I had sex in the restroom at a local pharmacy once.
LRG: What was it about the pharmacy that made you horny? Was it the pharmacist in the fancy white coat or something?
Karla: Well, he kind of initiated it. He told me that he was horny and asked me if I wanted to go through with it. I said yes but didn't know where to do it.
LRG: Are you a screamer?
Karla: Yes. Once I get to the point of extreme pleasure and climax, I am definitely a screamer.
LRG: Where you screaming in the restroom?
Karla: I had to compose myself a little bit because I didn't want to cause a ruckus but it still got pretty crazy.

Saints won't mind you running on them when Brees and the offense is scoring TDs. Running game will never keep up with that kind of scoring.
Saints offense in the Superdome is practically UNSTOPPABLE, doesnt matter how bad their D is, Brees & Co will just outscore you every time

I also hate how some libertarians praise anarchy. They seem not to understand that the strong will rule and it would be worse than it is now.
All of the anti-gay and anti-abortion crap. You have lost that war. There is no coming back, the tides have turned. Deal with it.
hate the religious nuts that are in the process of ruining the tea party and their original message. I hate how they perpetuate the GOP's problem of not being able to win without them and sure can't win with them. I hate how they try to force creationism being taught in schools.
I hate abortion and gay marriage pandering, hell I hate any pandering they do on social issues.
I hate the fiscal liberalism of the RINO's and their constant war mongering. I also hate their constant support for the abomination known as the war on drugs.
either provide their services for gay marriage ceremonies even thought it goes against the business/church camps religious beliefs?
I pretty much agree with you on all this. The Republicans need to drop the anti-abortion shite now and maybe they can get some of that white female vote that has been fricking them in the arse lately. Gay marriage is on it's way so stop fighting that losing battle also. Focus on the fiscal side and people who's pocket books are feeling it will follow you.
Uh, private business and seperation of church and state, I don't think because they make gay marriage legal they can force I private business owner to cater the event etc. etc.
If you own a flower shop, someone one wants to buy several hundred dollars of flowers (or more), you want to say no? Why would you? You sell flowers, they want to buy them. Where is the conflict? You can't just refuse service to people because you don't like them. That's just anti-capitalism and makes no business sense.. Someone please explain this one to me..
The GOP can't win with the religious right and they can't win without them so they're going to have to improvise
I was just answering the other guys question where it seemed he thought the Government was going to force Church's and private businesses to render goods and services to gay weddings if they didn't want to.
If I owned a flower shop
As a conservative the religious nut-jobs pushing Creationism and the like really annoy me. So do the gun-extremists
Blaming video games and movies for violence is also stupid.
Fifty-one percent of Democrats, but only 32 percent of Republicans and 32 percent of independents, said they would favor funding for studies on video-game violence. Democrats were also the most divided over whether the current voluntary labeling system is adequate, with 43 percent saying it is and 40 percent saying that the government should mandate stronger warnings. A majority of both Republicans and independents said that the current system provides adequate warning.
My #1 pet peeve = religious nuts.
All of this not going to happen very fast if the RR has anything to say about it.
The religious right. I respect their values, but don't like how they try to force them down the opposing views throats, and vice versa with the aetheist. All of the anti-gay and anti-abortion crap. You have lost that war. There is no coming back, the tides have turned. Deal with it. Wack jobs that think that the government will take up arms against its own citizens next week.

The shallow lagoons of 'Tancat de la Pipa' of the Natural Park l'Albufera de Valencia favour the reduction of nutrients and suspended solids, reducing the degree of eutrophication -pollution by microalgae increasing derived of excess nutrients- and increasing water clarity. This follows from the study being conducted by researchers at the University of Valencia and Universitat Politècnica de València, the first results were recently published in the journal Ecological Engineering.
These lagoons, which have four years in operation, have a combined area of 14 hectares and 0.3 to 0.7 meters deep; are fed with water from artificial wetlands 'Tancat de la Pipa', which in turn receives the eutrophic waters rich in microalgae from the l'Albufera lake.
According to the researchers, the improvement in the physical and chemical quality observed in them, and their own hydro-morphology, facilitates increased phytoplankton diversity and expansion of various species of zooplankton, especially those which consume microalgae present and develop with great difficulty in the lake. On the other hand, improving water clarity has facilitated periodic submerged aquatic plants, regular appearance on the lake until the sixties and nowadays disappeared .
The study is being conducted by the Cavanilles Institute of Biodiversity and Evolutionary Biology and the University of Valencia, coordinated by Professor Maria Antonia Rodrigo, and a team of the Engineering Institute of Water and Environment of the UPV, led by professor Miguel Martin.
"After four years of operation and about 10 hm3 treated yet, the first results show a physicochemical and biological improvement of the water that entering in it. Thus, for example, the total phosphorus is reduced by 49 %, with the output thereof a next mean value of 0.12 mg P/l, so close to the considered as maximum desirable (0.1 mg P/l) for any tributary to the lake. Assume, therefore, a second stage of treatment for the lake, after the improvement obtained by previous artificial wetlands," said Miguel Martín Monerris.
At present, efforts are focused on how to maintain a stable underwater vegetation in the lagoons since it has been established that their presence facilitates the development of zooplankton. "The recovery of these meadows is an essential goal in the aquatic ecosystem of l'Albufera recovery, and the experience with the lagoons of 'Tancat de la Pipa' shows that this is possible if we manage to improve the quality of waters of the lake," said Miguel Martín.
In short, the lagoons of 'Tancat de la Pipa' act as natural purifiers and "banks" of l' Albufera, shallow areas that allow the development of the biodiversity of plankton, plant and animal.

Lamborn only CO lawmaker to vote "no" on debt deal
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - Republican Congressman Doug Lamborn was the only Colorado lawmaker to vote "no" on the debt deal that re-opened the government, even though he represents Colorado Springs, the city with the highest percentage of impacted workers in the nation.
"I was prepared to hold my ground unless we were going to have serious repercussions on the economy," Lamborn said Thursday after he returned from Washington. "I would not want that. And we did not see that. People like Moody's were saying we could go past the 17th, and we could continue paying on our debt."
Some estimated that October 17 was the date America would default on its debt, while other experts said the US Treasury would have had a week or two beyond that date. Still, the partial shutdown impacted hundreds of thousands of government workers and Standard and Poors estimates it took $24 billion from the US economy.
"The fight we were fighting to limit Obamacare is a fight worth fighting," Lamborn said.
KRDO asked Lamborn if he still feels the shutdown was a good way to de-fund or delay President Obama's Affordable Care Act.
"It turns out it did not work. So maybe in 20/20 hindsight someone can say you shouldn't have even tried that," Lamborn said. "It was a fight worth fighting. Obamacare is going to be so bad for medicine, so bad for the economy."
But he says he doesn't anticipate that Republicans will use Obamacare as a bargaining chip again.
"I don't see how we can do that through the same thing we just went through," he said.
The deal made by Congress only funds the government through January 15.
"I hope we don't have to do this again," Lamborn said. "I hope we can negotiate with the Senate."
We asked Lamborn what he would say to the people barely able to scrape by during the shutdown who are fearful it could happen again in January.
"I don't think anyone wants to see this repeat itself," Lamborn said. "Those employees who were in doubt about getting paid, they are going to get paid every single penny. So there shouldn't be any doubt about that."
Lamborn went on to emphasize that only a part of the government was shut down.
"Only 17 percent of government outlays were stopped. Eighty-three percent of the federal government outlays continued on during the last 16 days," he said.
Sixty-two percent of House Republicans voted against the debt deal.

The Canadiens are expressing interest in adding Larry Robinson to their coaching staff.
Bill Wippert, Getty Images
• UPDATE: Hockey Inside/Out has learned that the Canadiens are among four or five NHL teams currently expressing interest in adding Hall of Famer Larry Robinson to their coaching staffs. No more details than that for now.
• UPDATE: Andreas Engqvist signed Wednesday morning with Atlant Mytishi of the Kontinental Hockey League, several reliable sources and the team's website announcing the news. So that's one fewer RFA the Habs will have to worry about.
Canadiens GM Marc Bergevin extended qualifying offers Monday to 10 restricted free agents. On Tuesday, he signed his first of the group, gritty forward Ryan White agreeing to a one-year contract. Here's White in conversation Monday afternoon with CJAD's Abe Hefter.
Look for Bergevin to be busy as we move toward Sunday's opening of UFA season. Further to that, I chatted Tuesday with Brad Staubitz, a waivers claim last February who proved of good use to the battered Habs late in the season. Staubitz told me he'd love to return; we'll see if Bergevin feels the same way.
Habs development camp opens Wednesday for three days at the Bell Sports Complex in Brossard, the first on-ice session (open to the public) at 4 pm. Details on the camp here. And the schedule of on-ice sessions:
• Thursday: 4 to 6 pm
• Friday: 10:30 am to 12 noon; 4:30 to 6 pm
• Saturday: 10:30 am to 12 noon; 4:30 to 5:30 pm.
• Hockey Hall of Fame welcomes its new crop. Was the superb Brendan Shanahan stiffed by being excluded? And why isn't Pat Burns an honoured member yet? It's obscene that he isn't.


text: Hello All I have recently purchased a 2010 LT Suburban from a CPO lot of a Chevy dealership. The car was a former rental (fleet) car and is badged as an LT model. However, I noticed that it doesn't have certain LT features that were listed as standard (6 speaker audio vs 9...no satellite radio/antenna...no usb jack in center console... only power height adjustable seats...) When looking at what "should" have come as standard on an LT...I seem to be missing a few things. Is there such a thing as a decontented "rental/fleet" level LT? Thanks in advance all...These forums are great for a newbie.

- $50 Credit for Dinner at Everyday People Cafe
- Chocolate and Wine Gift Basket

Welcome to the Quilting Board!
FYI Steve, the WW No. 8 will sew without the glass presser foot insert. I bought my No. 8 from my OSMG. He did give her an oiling and did a stitch test. When I told him later that I found one glass foot in the drawer (the Plain Glass Presser foot), he was surprised. He did not know about the glass feet. Goes to show you that OSMgs don't know everything. Charlee bought a set of glass feet from Mike Anderson of Wolfgangs Collectables. I am also searching for the glass feet to complete the set. You can see pics of my No. 8 here.
Sweet Caroline
Nice job Steve. I know I read on QB somewhere that you can make them fairly easily out of plastic. I bet it was Miriam or Kathy that was in on that conversation. Maybe ask them how it is done.
This is a wonderful post! Love the way you explain and also give pictures of the steps. IMHO restoration of these old machines is the only thing that will save them from complete disentagration. Keep up the good work! I would like a complete pictorial of these types of projects too.
Wow, a night and day difference. I have a #9 that needs work. I bought it for ambiance in my quilting studio, so I'm not in a hurry. It was in the same shape yours was in, but I cleaned it up the best I could.
Bernina 640, Singer 201-3, Singer Centennial 15-91, Tin Lizzie 26" long arm
Boy, I like the way you have changed the looks of that old machine. really spectacular. I too would follow the blog of pictures on restoration of old machines.
Oh Steve, you should be so proud of yourself. You've done such an amazing job!
What a spectacular work. Thanks for sharing. I am french, and I found that it is only oversea that you are able to do such a restoration. I loved this post!
Thanks folks. I have been wrapped up in the acquisition of more machines. I should get back to doing the WW8 soon.
The main issue has been the screw that we had to drill out. Since these machines were made before the SAE standards were put in place they are completely unique threads/diameters.
I just bought a small benchtop metal lathe (Craftsman 109, look it up, it's a cool old tool) so that i can make my own screws and bolts. It should be here Friday.

ALEX Lesson Plans
Marketing, Sales, and Service (9 - 12)
The Marketing Mix
The purpose of these lessons is to encourage students to apply knowledge of the marketing mix to a variety of real life products and services. The intention is that students should take what they know and use that information in developing an understanding of the blending of the elements of the marketing mix. It also aims to develop the ability to make judgments, given that the student will have to think about the relative importance of the elements of the mix and the way in which different products and services are marketed. The inclusion of services in the list of potential sources of investigation is designed to get students thinking about the impact of the 'additional' three P's - people, process and physical environment.
Marketing, Sales, and Service (9 - 12)
"P" Shopping at the Grocery Store
In this activity students will explore marketing tools, terminology, and the specific four P's of marketing strategy. After viewing the introductory materials, background content, and completing two brief in class assignments, students will create an imaginary item that would be sold in a grocery store and determine the detailed marketing mix for that product. Students will then present this information to the class with a PowerPoint presentation. Students will have the option to bring in samples of their finished "product".
