Quick And Easy Homemade Teriyaki Chicken Recipe, Day 23, 31 Days Of Making Your Home Sing
1 to 1 and 1/2 lbs. boneless, skinless chicken breasts. (I usually just grab 3-4 of the frozen chicken breasts from Costco). Thaw chicken first if it is frozen.
Teriyaki Sauce Ingredients:
1 cup low sodium soy sauce (or you may substitute regular)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 cup sugar
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon ground ginger
Combine sauce ingredients. (Sorry, forgot to take a picture). Cook in a large skillet over low heat until the sugar is dissolved. If you are in a hurry, like I usually am, you can just pop the sauce in the microwave, using a microwave safe bowl, and heat it that way. I've actually been in such a hurry that I just threw the sauce together without heating it up at all. Some of the sugar was left along the sides of the bowl but we didn't notice any change in the flavor of the sauce.
However, if you're concerned that the soy sauce or sugar police will come and get you, by all means heat up the sauce until the sugar dissolves. That's what I did for this post, even though I don't have the picture proof!
Cut the chicken lengthwise into 1" slices. Or do what I did. Hack and destroy the chicken until it begins to look like very pale, very large tadpoles. Or you could just start cutting diagonally with reckless abandon. I have never claimed to be an expert at cutting chicken.
Spray a 9x13 pan or large tray with oil spray and put the chicken strips in it. Make sure the tray has a lip on it (unless you want all your sauce to pour out onto the counter and floor). Who knows, perhaps you needed a good excuse to mop your floor.
I used aluminum foil (sprayed with oil spray) in my pan just in case someone came to my door and told me I won the lottery and my chicken burns while I am jumping up and down screaming. That way I won't have as much trouble cleaning the pan after I wake up from the dead faint I went into after discovering the millions I've won. I WILL, however, have trouble winning the lottery since I haven't bought a ticket. Details.
Or you can just heat the teriyaki sauce on the stove as mentioned above. Add the chicken, cover and simmer until cooked, about 20-30 minutes.
I'm sorry but I forgot to take a picture of the finished product. I was too busy eating. Burp. (Excuse me!)

I really like simple, uncomplicated meals. This is just up my street and I will definitely be giving this one a whirl.ReplyDelete
Thank you
Mmmmm! Thanks for the idea! I may make this tonight. And I love the pic of "cleaning as you go." Makes things so much easier and you don't have to fill the dishwasher all the time if you just wash as you go along. :)ReplyDelete
This recipe sounds good. My husband would love it.ReplyDelete
While my husband and sons might like this, I would not! I do NOT like soy sauce. I do NOT care much for ginger. So they usually only get this stuff at restaurants....I probably should shock them sometime and make this for them and something else (even a PBJ) for myself....ReplyDelete

Date of Stay: July, 2012
The manager is very friendly. The park is exceptionally clean. You can see the lake from the RV Park. The lake is way down right now. They also rent mobile home lots. Rabbits are everywhere! It is conveniently located about 8 miles from town. I highly recommend this RV Park.
Date of Stay: June, 2012
This is a quiet place to stay. However, it gives the appeal the owners woke up one day and decided to build an RV Park. After that, there was no thought put into it. There is electricity and sometimes running water. No other amenities. They constantly go up on the rent. I could understand if they offered other amenities, and it wasn't a dirt pit with a few trees. They have non potable water. It stains everything. If you pay for a month and you have to leave a week or 2 after paying, DO NOT request a refund. It will not be given. They do not believe in refunds because people will use your electricity and then leave without paying. If I have paid you for a month of service and I only use 2 weeks of it, you owe me a refund. I haven't used your electricity and run off without paying. Camper beware!!

CD Review: The Dead Weather — Sea of Cowards
The Dead Weather
Sea of Cowards
Third Man Records
By Chris Homer
The Dead Weather pick-up where they left off on last year's debut, Horehound, on their latest album, Sea of Cowards. The album doesn't stray far from the heavy, distortion soaked, blues-rock Jack White's super-group established on their debut.
Of course, this shouldn't detract anyone who enjoyed Horehound. Tracks like "I'm Mad" and opener "Blue Blood Blues" rely heavily on the fuzzy, swamp-rock guitar riffs played by Dean Fertita. These songs bring to mind the hard-driving numbers on Horehound like "Hang You From the Heavens" and "Treat Me Like Your Mother."
At other points on Sea of Cowards, The Dead Weather use a slowly building, simmering blues sound. "Hustle & Cuss" and "I Can't Hear You" will remind you of some of Horehound's down tempo songs like "60 Feet Tall" and "New Pony." "I Can't Hear You" is especially entertaining thanks to its duel lead guitar riffs and White's solid drumming.
The biggest change on Sea of Cowards is Jack White's increasing role as a second vocalist to front woman Allison Mosshart. While White left most of the vocal duties on Horehound to Mosshart, save for "I Cut Like a Buffalo," Sea of Cowards often finds the two trading off vocal lines and singing backup for each other.
"Die By The Drop", the album's first single, features this interplay between Mosshart and White. The song's chorus leaves little doubt that The Dead Weather should have been doing this all along. Mosshart's surly growls work perfectly with White's high-pitched yelps. Instrumentally, the song uses one of the album's best fuzzed-out guitar riffs along with rhythms pounded out on keys and drums, making it one of The Dead Weather's strongest efforts to date.
While White's role as a vocalist has expanded, Mosshart still has plenty of chances to showcase her unique voice. "Gasoline" stands out as Mosshart's best vocal performance as she bounces her voice around manically. The track's shrill organ melodies and huge guitar solo also help make it one of the best on Sea of Cowards.
"The Difference Between Us" also shows Mosshart's strength as a vocalist, particularly during the chorus. The song's use of a dark keyboard melody also lend it an electro-feel that works surprisingly well with The Dead Weather's blues-rock sound.
Overall, Sea of Cowards finds The Dead Weather continuing to succeed with their dirty, swamp-rock sound. Jack White's additional vocals also add another level of excitement to the songs, making it an even better effort than the excellent Horehound.

As more and more lawyers move firms, personnel departments are employing the services of independent careers consultants in a last-ditch attempt to retain staff. Alison Clarke reports
There was a time when it was virtually unknown for lawyers to leave the firm where they trained and even more unusual for them to leave the profession altogether. Not any more. Every week, the pages of the trade press are filled with news of partners and other qualified lawyers moving from one firm to another. Some give up law completely – in one case to open a holistic yoga centre. That is not to say that the profession is in crisis, just that it no longer offers the same certainties of the past.
Enter the professional consultancy firm offering advice on everything from career management and performance to outplacements (helping staff find a new job elsewhere).
These organisations are generally the preserve of the bigger law firms (not least because of the cost involved, which can be anything from £3,000 to £6,000 per person). But the agencies report that an increasing number of small partnerships are also prepared to put their hands in their pockets.
The main advantage, according to Clifford Chance's head of personnel Alistair Dawson, is the consultant's independence. "It can be useful for employees to talk with an individual from outside the firm, someone who is neutral. For instance, if someone is having difficulty in terms of performance or is not certain whether they want to continue being a lawyer, they can get their problems aired with a consultant. As a result, they may change their behaviour and perhaps stay with the firm where otherwise they would have left."
CMS Cameron McKenna's director of human resources John Renz says that this is the whole purpose of the exercise. Agencies can be used to provide career counselling and guidance as opposed to an outplacement service, although one may lead to the other.
Although the services of the agencies are open to everyone in the firm, more senior staff can expect a more comprehensive service. Cue the pilot project at CMS Cameron McKenna for senior assistants (five to seven years qualified) to give them the chance to "manage their careers". Renz says that the idea is to allow people to take stock of their lives and think about where they want to go. Assistants can choose a counsellor from a panel of external consultants for up to three confidential sessions, and none of the consultants are from the normal agencies used by the firm (see box).
Despite the emphasis on the use of agencies for career counselling purposes, an employee may, of course, end up leaving the firm – which still picks up the tab. DLA's human resources director Robert Halton has no problem with this. He says that part of the firm's exit policy is to offer the use of outplacement firms to all staff.
He says: "One of the values of our firm is about treating people with respect. You have to treat people decently, not just when you recruit them, but also when they may be about to leave."
Halton believes that the firm's use of outplacement agencies reinforces the message internally that it cares about its staff. "It makes good commercial sense to have a reputation for looking after people. It also means that we retain good relationships with people who leave. We did a retention survey a couple of years ago of people who had left and 70 per cent of those who responded said that they would consider rejoining."
Tim Cole, director of human resources at Freshfields, agrees. He says: "It is a very short-sighted firm that would not provide careers advice just because someone might leave as a result. People like support in shaping their careers, not just because they might choose to leave but also because they might want to reposition themselves within the firm. Access to external career consultants is just part of the portfolio that we can provide."
There are costs involved but he says that it is money well spent, not least because it can help individuals recognise the development opportunities within the firm.
Philip Beddows, a director at BG Careers, says: "Offering career guidance can be a way of retaining staff by offering them the tools to manage their career within the firm, rather than losing them to a competitor."
The agencies' fees can also be offset against the cost of recruiting senior staff. TDA Consulting director Alan Smith says that a headhunter can charge as much as 40 per cent of a senior lawyer's salary in the first year.
Some firms use the agencies only once in a blue moon. For instance, head of personnel at Slaughter and May, Neil Morgan, says that because of the state of the market, it is at least four years since he engaged an outplacement agency.
And he is not the only one to cut back. Charles Glass, managing consultant of Professional Career Management, says: "There is not much outplacement at the moment. People are living with any mismatches because it is difficult to get lawyers, although some of our bigger clients are still sending people. In its place, career coaching that looks at people's performance and how they manage themselves and others has increased dramatically."
All the agencies claim to offer a bespoke service to their clients, which in the case of outplacement, usually runs over a three to six month period. Anna Larcom, a director with BG Careers, explains: "It will probably take longer to place someone in their 50s than a 28-year-old, but we will agree a timescale that is appropriate for each individual. During that time we will see them as much as they want, which could be as often as three or four times a week to begin with."
But not everyone is convinced by the flexibility of approach of some of the agencies. Eversheds director of personnel Margaret Bradburn says: "Often all we want is someone from the outside to sit down with people to get them to think about where they are going, but lots of outplacement firms also offer the use of office space, access to the net, research databases, interview techniques, CV preparation etc and charge accordingly. You can negotiate, but there is a point that they will not go below."
But for employees, particularly those who have fallen foul of internal politics, the offer of an outplacement agency must be hard to resist. Given that someone else is picking up the tab, lawyers on their way out have nothing to lose and just about everything to gain. Larcom, for one, claims a success rate of 98 per cent for her consultancy. She even claims that it will find jobs for that other 2 per cent, meaning that "although it may not be what they originally wanted, they find work by becoming more realistic".

The moment will arrive in New Zealand this evening. At 5.45pm, it will be precisely 60 years since a 33-year-old Ed Hillary found himself quite literally on top of the world.
The summit of Mt Everest surprised him, actually, even though it was a goal so long fought for, so keenly sought. He would say later that he suddenly noticed the ground was no longer rising but falling away in front of him and - well, let him tell the story - "a few more whacks of the ice axe in the firm snow, and we stood on top". It was 11.30am local time and the sun had already set in the land of Hillary's birth. But it was just rising on a brilliant career.
The first significant anniversary of the ascent since the death of the man who became Sir Ed is tinged with only a little sadness. But fittingly in a small gallery at Auckland Museum, an exhibition remembers what it calls his "enduring legacy".
There are sights that have become familiar over the past half century: that ice axe, made by Claudius Simond at Chamonix in the French Alps, its handle of European ash burnished honey-gold by time, the forged steel head and spike scrubbed clean by the ice it has cut; a beautiful Buddhist tanka - a devotional artwork - painted by Kappa Kalden of Khumjung (and, aptly, restored by Ed's daughter, Sarah, a noted conservator); the expedition diary; a piece of grey-green rock from the summit, that Ed brought back for his mum.
But there are unfamiliar objects too: alongside the KBE is a crude hand-hammered badge made for and presented to Ed by the taxi drivers of Kathmandu (a fair recognition, one fancies, for the amount of business he must have drummed up for them over the years).
Most strikingly, in the centre of the gallery, is the mountain itself - or the closest that most of us, marooned at sea level, will ever come to it. It's a strikingly evocative 3D model, twice the size of a billiard table, on which the visitor can follow the laborious ascent.
The word "laborious" scarcely does it justice actually. Charts on the wall explain how it took 17 days to ascend the Lhotse Face, an 1125m wall of blue ice leading to the South Col and the start of the ridge leading to the summit. The model mountain makes this plain, tracking the climbers by means of a snaking red line that moves up and down the contours.
Thus it depicts the stuttering progress of teams that would ascend for no other reason than to lay down platforms across crevasses, or install ropes, or dump supplies for those who would follow after and repeat the process. It was not just by luck that Hillary and Tenzing ended up climbing into history - they were the strongest and fittest of the climbers - but they reached the top with the last steps in a long chain of teamwork.
The model is the work of freelance designer Andy Hoey, a 28-year-old visual effects whizz, who describes his specialist interest as modelling and texturing. This is no illusion he's created - the mountain is an actual object that you can touch, although you may be assured that the museum staff will come down on you like a tonne of bricks if you do. But it comes to life with the texturing - plays of light that bring plain slopes to virtual life, creating digital rocks and snow and even bathing the mountainsides with moving light as the sun rises.
"It arises from techniques they use in film all the time," Hoey says. "You can create something in three dimensions from scratch and you can print it out using 3D printers."
I tell him I'm not entirely sure that I can comprehend what a 3D printer is, and he does his best to hide an indulgent smile.
"There are about six million points on this 3D model," he explains, "and every point is read by the computer and then a machine has a little drill that cuts it out."
Hoey says he "confidently agreed" to a proposal to make the 3D mountain even though the prospect "freaked me out". But his youth didn't mean the ascent of Everest was ancient history.
"We learnt all about it in school and knew who Ed Hillary was and what he'd done. And for that reason, I was very, very excited about doing the project."

To Rugger, PWBowen and anyone else who thinks him an idiot, you should take a good long look in the mirror to find who you speak of.
When I first broke into the industry, I did so because I got tired of listening to every pundit, expert and wannabe writer stick to last year's stats, extol last year's virtues, and put blinders on to statistical analysis blended with common sense. When Shawn Alexander had his big years, I cautioned against him, right here in the tank. When Marshal Faulk was touted as a top 5 rusher, I looked at his "cleanup procedure" and raised a warning flag. When Peyton Manning had his huge breakout in 2004 and was perceived as a top three pick, I told everyone to run away. In fact I was a finalist that year for the best fantasy football article for that warning article.
Each time I was derided by most in the tank as well as the industry. Each time I was right. At this point I won't tell you about all the times I was wrong; for this discussion it is irrelevant...not to mention somewhat painful
The point is, Mike Vick has been here before. He was the next coming of Superman, and he has let down fantasy owners on more than one occasion. There is an adage; what goes up, must come down. Take a hard look at fantasy statistics over the years. It's damn near impossible for most players to stay at the top year over year. It's black and white...plain as day...clear as the nose on your face...use any euphemism you like.
Thanks, Mr. White, for having a set of balls and the willingness to flop them up onto the table and challenge the herd mentality that pervades fantasy sports. I won't draft Vick this year on any team, unless I seem him hanging around in the third or fourth round. And I honestly don't expect to see him there.
Perhaps you should read the responses before you accuse me of calling him an idiot. I had no problem with the article and my derision was towards the arrogant poster who got the redazz over it. I have very little use for complaining unless you have a better solution.
My feelings on most of the articles written is that whether I agree with them or not I do applaud someone for taking the time to put it out there and the guts to do so. Except Pachy. He sucks and I suspect it's intentionally bad just to get attention.

BeschreibungLoving and serving God in jail and prison is an uphill climb, exciting, breath-taking and difficult. Mountain Climbing in Jail describes that climb up the path that many inmates who come to know Jesus Christ walk during their time of incarceration. It encourages them to stay faithful to God even as they face many of the temptations and problems that have led many other inmates to abandon the walk with God. Being ready for the changes that take place and the trials that often appear on the path towards God makes staying faithful to God much easier. The stories of many inmates and their walks with God show up in these pages. So, open the book and see where their walks took them, and maybe you

I have a very old WCG200, modem router combination that I bought about 6 years ago. Several weeks ago I noticed that the internet was not working as well as it had; slow page loading, time outs, etc. I did some reading on forums and found that I should get a new docsis 3 modem.
I just purchased a motorola SB6121 at Amazon for about $80. When it comes, Can I just install it easity attaching the cable to it and the ethernet to a wan port on my new router or is more difficult. Do I have to call comcast and give them the new mac address? Any help would be appreciated.
Solved! Go to solution
That is pretty much it. Just call Comcast and tell them your new MAC code on the modem. It should be on the box and on the Modem. If your phone service is tied to your internet (Vonage, or Comcast phone service for example) you will need to call on a cell phone.
Thanks for the quick response. I have always been impressed by the technicians whenever, and it is not often, I had to call 1-800-comcast.
Can you answer my first questions about the internet problems we have been having? My wife and I each have our own computers so there are 2 and we are both experiencing the same issues. From my reading, I assume the problem will be resolved by upgrading to the docsis 3 modem as noted above.
Thanks again.
That all depends on what is causing the problem. The WCG200 is VERY old and definitely needs upgrading, but if you have a signal issue as well acerbating the problem, the new modem will not fix that. But since you need the modem, I say go ahead and get it installed and working, THEN if you still have problems, describe them fully, post the signal levels from http://192.168.100.1, post your speedtest results from http://speedtest.comcast.net and any other pertinent information.
Was your question answered? Mark it as an accepted solution!
Was your question answered? Mark it as an accepted solution!
OK, thanks.
It should arrive on Monday so I'll install it and post the results you suggest later.
Just to complete this issue:
The new cable modem, Motorola SB 6121, came yesterday. I installed directly to my computer and called 1-800-comcast. They asked for the serial number and MAC address from the box and after about 5 minutes, everything worked. I then moved the cable from my computer to the wan port on my router, set the router to clone the mac address from my computer and all computers in my home network were able to connect. No really issues and the speed is much better. I know it has only been one day but there have been no slow downs or timeouts and pages seem to pop up much faster.
I think my problem is solved and I thank you for the help.
wlopatin wrote:set the router to clone the mac address from my computer
FWIW, this step is uneccessary. The modem just needs to be properly powercycled/reset each and every time that the device which is being directly connected to it is changed.
Does it make any real difference? Should I change it or just leave it alone?
Everything seems to be working so well now.
You can just leave it.
Thank you.

Arena Curling Championships set to debut in July
Full story here: http://tinyurl.com/cppd6cg
The inaugural United States Curling Association Arena Curling National Championship, an event designed specifically for curlers who utilize arena curling facilities, will debut next summer. This new championship will take place July 18-21 at the Fort Wayne Curling Club in Fort Wayne, Ind.
"The Fort Wayne Curling Club is excited that the USCA has initiated a new Arena Championship to provide many of the newest curling clubs in the United States, like us, the ability to compete against clubs of similar circumstances," said Craig Fisher, Fort Wayne Curling Club president and chairman of the 2013 Arena Curling National Championships.
The event will feature 32 teams, with men's and women's divisions, and the hopes of growing the event in the future. To be eligible to enter, team members must all be dues-paying, league-playing members of the same arena curling club.

US Arena National Championships
The USCA will likely hold the first US Arena National Championships next summer. The committee has received three excellent hosting bids and is in the process of finalizing a site and date. This will be the first event of its kind dedicated to helping develop arena competitive curling. The goal for the future is to open it to one team from every club, though this year will be a small test year to gauge interest and will likely only have spots for 16 men's and 16 women's team. Details on how those teams will be determined (along with many, many other details) will likely be decided during the Arena Committee Meeting at the USCA September Board Meeting (Sept 13-16) in Minneapolis. This will likely be a 4-day event (Thursday – Sunday morning). Stay tuned for more details and please keep space for this on your curling calendar!

Growth worries, U.S. fiscal fears hit shares
By Richard Hubbard
LONDON (Reuters) - World equity markets fell for a seventh day on Thursday, hit by evidence that Europe's debt crisis has stalled economic growth and by persistent concern over the budget problems in the United States.
Stock index futures pointed to a slight recovery on Wall Street later, though data on the jobs market, consumer price inflation and business activity in New York and Philadelphia could have a big impact on sentiment. .N
Brent crude oil jumped to $111 a barrel as fighting in the Gaza Strip sparked worries of an escalation that could ultimately disrupt oil supplies from the Middle East.
"The global economy faces some severe headwinds. Against that backdrop we see short-term de-risking of portfolios," said Abi Oladimeji, head of investment strategy at Thomas Miller Investment.
The FTSEurofirst 300 index .FTEU3 of top European shares was down 0.7 percent at 1,080.62 points, having fallen 1 percent on Wednesday, but actual trading volume was quite low. London's FTSE 100 .FTSE, Frankfurt's DAX .GDAXI and Paris's CAC-40 .FHCI were down around 0.5 to 0.9 percent. .EU .L
Growth in Germany, Europe's largest economy, cooled to 0.2 percent over the July-September period compared with the previous three months, while data showed the wider 17-nation euro zone has slipped back into recession.
Economic output in the euro area fell 0.1 percent in the third quarter after falling 0.2 percent in the April to June period, making it the second recession since 2009.
"The double-dip is a fact," said Martin Van Vliet, an economist at ING Bank. "What you notice is that the recession in southern Europe is slowly creeping to other countries." Continued...

On Wednesday Mr Justice Forbes criticised the decision to allow a travelling family to stay at Smithy Fen in Cottenham, Cambridgeshire.
A planning inspector overturned a South Cambridgeshire District Council enforcement notice in February.
The judge has ordered John Prescott's department to reconsider the case.
The controversial Smithy Fen site has been a source of conflict as villagers complained of being overrun by new arrivals, many setting up camp on unauthorised pitches.
Cottenham Residents' Association chairman Rick Bristow said: "It's nice to know the law can be upheld.
"Our view is that we don't like the idea of eviction. We want them to find a lawful, alternative pitch where they can live out their days in peace."
Terry Brownbill, a spokesman for villagers, added: "I hope John Prescott takes note and does something about this.
"It's not just happening in Cottenham, it's everywhere in the country. Planning inspectors don't have the knowledge to step outside their planning remit."
Planning inspector Clive Woodhouse ruled that, as the travellers' caravans were in the corner of an area of authorised sites, they were not unacceptable.
New planning inquiry
In the High Court Mr Justice Forbes said the overturning of the council order by Mr Woodhouse had been wrong in law.
Mr Justice Forbes also quashed the inspector's decision to allow retrospective permission for caravans used by Patrick McCarthy, 68, his wife and their 18-year-old grandson, Daniel O'Rourke.
A spokesman for South Cambridgeshire District Council said a new planning inquiry would be held in about a year to reconsider the case again from scratch.
The McCarthy family will remain on the site pending a new planning inquiry.

Hi Guys,
For those of you that has removed the front tow point cover, how did you exactly do it? The manual says push the bottom part of the rhombus/square shaped cover however the picture says the top part. I tried both and couldn't get it to budge and I didn't want to force it the wrong way and break something.

Thanks, I feel that I am with you on this trip. Very much enjoying it. Would love to be there in person. One of my dreams.
Stay safe.
Glorious Day of RELAXATION!

After breakfast in the common room at our campground, we got back in the car and headed east towards the coastal town of Picton. The small two lane road hugged the coastline, giving us a dizzingly array of twists and turns that often dropped off sharply to the sea. Not very many guardrails... one must pay close attention as the consequences of a missed turn can be dangerous.
At Havelock we veered off the main road, opting for the windy road toward Marlborough Sound, amazed that the road was even MORE curvy and more narrow. That seemed impossible, but indeed, it was true!. The road follows the coast for the most part, though often trees obstructed our view. We went around curve after curve after curve... until we both were ready for a break. So when we saw the sign for Coffee and Cafe, we took the left turn to see where it would take us
At the end of the dirt driveway, we found ourselves in a small spot of paradise, with lovely black eyed susans and roses and tall purple bunches of flowers beside an outdoor patio looking out at the green waters of Kenepura Sound. Two sailboats swayed in the breeze and gulls and terns flotated on the wind. We walked down to the dock, spotting schools of fish and jellyfish. After a coffee and piece of giant chocolate cake, we inquired about a room, thinking it would be nice to BE somewhere for the day and not do much of anything. The nicest lady took care of us, telling us about a wedding for the next day that meant she would upgrade us to the nicer room, keeping the cheaper price so the wedding party could still be together. Woo hoo! Another great bit of luck.
The room is so lovely, pure heaven. It is spacious and clean, with a huge living room area and then a giant bedroom, both looking out a wall of windows facing the bay. Gold! We will spend the day relaxing, reading, taking in the view and doing nothing more than enjoying the day. It is wonderful to be in one place and not be rushing off to somewhere else.
...hope you are somewhere lovely too.
(Enjoy these pictures that we liked but that never got into the blog in the right place ... they are the MISSED PICTURES!)

Thanks, I feel that I am with you on this trip. Very much enjoying it. Would love to be there in person. One of my dreams.
I was enjoying looking at the map (what a neat feature or this site!) and noticing that you did an amazing job seeing some of the most beautiful spots on the South Island. What an adventure your trip has been! I am so glad you got a chance to go and enjoy the gorgeousness and wonder of New Zealand! I look forward to chatting when you return! Safe and pleasant journeys! :)
I wish you could have been here to help me with the legendary fish that are supposed to be here....I tried several times and only caught my usual average size guys; but I met a couple of Englishmen on the Greenstone river and they had photos of 6 and 8lbers that took 20 min to land on 4X tippet. Wow that would have been a thrill!!!

New Device Blocks Red Light Cameras
Those pesky red light cameras that everyone has been complaining about may have met their match.
Those pesky red light cameras that everyone has been complaining about may have met their match.
Heading north? Make sure you gas up before you hit the Parkway, or starting October 1, you could find yourself in a bind.
I have seen some bad driving. I live in New Jersey. Of course I've seen bad driving. But there is no bad driving quite like the bad driving that happens in a supermarket parking lot.
Texting and driving is a dangerous combination and it seems no amount of laws or tickets is stopping it from happening.
One company's campaign hopes to encourage safer driving (and texting) habits.
The red light cameras that were suspended for 'calibration' and an investigation of safety are back.
But do you know where the cameras are?
Most times, I think my GPS (and Google Maps on my iPhone) are a lifesaver.
I don't use them all the time, but when I'm in a bind or going to a place I've never been before, they are awesome.
Everyday I take Route 34 to the Parkway (and vice versa) as part of my commute, which means I get to navigate a traffic circle (where Rt 33 and 34 meet with Rt 547).
It's also everyday that I encounter a near accident due to any number of drivers not knowing how to navigate said circle.
Here's a friendly PSA to help out.
I was lucky enough to spend 2 hours at the MVC yesterday and saw lots of happy (yeah right) people walking out with fresh plates. They were all so basic though...
I did a little experiment on my way to work this morning.
I put my lead foot aside and actually drove the speed limit. It was frightening.
Luckily my girl Kim in Howell is a good sport and will let me make fun of her for this...
Just yesterday I was driving home from work and saw a cute little dog with its head out the driver's side window.
Sure, it's cute, and maybe little Fido loves the wind in his fur, but the truth is, it's unsafe for all of us, and lawmakers have noticed.

Generally I prefer not to align hone an engine, most times it is not necessary. To check, invert the block take your crank and install the bearings in the block, lubricate and then check for crank runout with no main saddles installed or seals. There should be less than 0.002" runout, if not regrind the crank. Next install the main saddle caps and torque, be sure to lubricate copiously. Next rotate the crank and see how easily it rotates, there should be no binding at any point if the crank is straight. In doing this procedure you have just checked your mains alignment and once you remove the main caps you can check for clearance with plastigage etc.
Even if the block has a lot of corrosion a wire brush can remove the heavy stuff and then you can see how much pitting is on the mains surfaces. Scotchbrite works good for this. I wouldn't hone unless the crank was binding or the corrosion was so bad that the surface area contacting the bearings is compromised with pitting. If you end up align honing the block (hardly anyone bores them anymore) have the machinist put in a couple of "tenths" (0.0001") more crush on the main bearings, won't hurt anything. Make sure you install the bearing shells dry, any oil on the backsides will hold the shells off the surface and reduce your clearance.
Most shops only align bore to restore the cam to crank relationship if the engine needs a lot of align honing (pretty rare). Remember anytime you align hone the crank gets closer to the cam which will make your cam chain slacker, there are special short chains for this if you need them. I would spend the money I would spend on align honing and have the engine blocked and decked including the trans face, this way you know the deck heights will be the same and the crank will be square with the trans. All these things are unnecessary if the block is straight to begin with. All the more reason to find a good machinist who takes pride in his work.
She may not look like much, but she's got it where it counts, kid. I've made a lot of special modifications myself.

|Columbia University
|Anchor, CNN Newsroom
|Notable credit(s)

Katharine Julia "Poppy" Harlow[1] (born May 2, 1982)[2][3] is an American journalist, best known for her reporting at CNN and Forbes.com. She is an anchor of CNN Newsroom and is based out of CNN's New York news bureau. She was previously a business correspondent at CNN, CNN International and HLN; an anchor for CNNMoney.com; and a Forbes.com Video Network anchor, reporter and producer. She is also a weekday relief presenter for CNN's New Day early morning news program.
Harlow was born and raised in Minneapolis, Minnesota.[4] Her father, an attorney, James Lee Harlow,[2] died when she was 15.[1] Her mother is Mary Louise Baird.[2]
Harlow was graduated from Blake School, a private co-educational college preparatory school in Minneapolis, in 2001.[5] She then graduated Magna Cum Laude, Phi Beta Kappa, from Columbia University with a bachelor's degree in Political Science[5] and Middle Eastern studies.[4]
After interning at CBS while still in college, Harlow continued working for CBS MarketWatch and as an assistant producer for CBS Newspath after graduation. She then became an anchor and reporter for NY1 News' Local Edition. While at NY1, her news beat covered Staten Island and New Jersey, including reports on local politics, the economy and local cultural events.
In September 2007, Harlow was hired by Forbes.com Video Network, where her area of coverage expanded to fashion, entertainment and business topics.
Harlow was named a New York-based CNN correspondent in April 2012. She joined CNN in 2008 and served as the anchor for CNNMoney.com and reported for CNN, CNN International and HLN. Harlow fills in for Richard Quest on CNN International.[citation needed]
On December 28, 2015, Harlow passed out briefly while live on the air from the anchor desk. She soon reappeared on air and said she had gotten a little hot and was fine. She later tweeted from the hospital that she and her unborn daughter were well.[6]
Beginning on February 6, 2017, Harlow and John Berman took over as the new co-anchors of CNN Newsroom from 9 A.M. to 11 A.M. every morning due to Carol Costello's move to HLN.
In 2013, while reporting on the conviction of two Steubenville, Ohio, high school football players for the rape of a 16-year-old, Harlow stated that it was "incredibly difficult, even for an outsider like me, to watch what happened as these two young men that had such promising futures, star football players, very good students, literally watched as they believed their lives fell apart ... when that sentence came down, [Ma'lik] collapsed in the arms of his attorney. ... He said to him, 'My life is over. No one is going to want me now.'" This apparent expression of sympathy for the rapists provoked widespread criticism.[7][8][9] A petition requesting that CNN apologize on the air for sympathizing with the Steubenville rapists received over 250,000 signatures within two days of CNN's report.[10]
Harlow is married to Sinisa Babcic.[11] Their daughter Sienna was born on April 11, 2016.[12][13]
The 33-year-old...
The CNN news anchor welcomed her first child, daughter Sienna, with husband Sinisa Babcic on Monday, April 11 (her due date!), she announced on social media.

^^ It is. But if Caddys came in a 300 hp 4 cylinder vs a 300 hp V8, I wouldn't be as happy. A V8 brings with it a certain sterotype regarding money.
"A big car needs a big engine" is what I have heard many, many times. Not necessarly in regards to horse power, but size (cylinders and liters). And we must remember most people measure a car by the number of cylinders it has, hp & torque figures are second seat.
Plus, the power delivery that comes from an engine with more cylinders is more even and smooth, thus, associated with luxury.
The M3 is definitely sport first luxury a far second. The Cad500 puts out smooth, even power. The northstar puts out less smooth, even power, since it's aimed for a higher RPM range. An M3 I6 puts out nothing on the bottom end and everything on top.
This is all a moot point. Once Lincoln get's the super sedan built, it will all be for naught. The CTS-V, SRT-8's, M5's, E63's, S6's will all be at or near 500hp. A 400hp Lincoln will not be competitive and priced anywhere north of $40K will not sell. Price below $40K and they can't make money. Too little, too late.
No, it doesn't. CTS-Vs have regularly gotten low to mid 4's in the 0-60 sprint. I don't think I've ever seen any IS350 in the 4's. So no, the same cannot be said for the Lexus.

I just read the story about another victim of House Doctors of East Valley. Me and my wife are also victims of this company's scam tactics and the unlicensed and unbonded sub contractors they use. We stayed in a hotel for two days to get out of their way while they were to finish up some work in our main living room and kitchen.
Not only did we arrive home to a mess. The work was incomplete and when I called the owner, he refused to return and clean up the mess nor complete the project as expected. However, he didn't waste any time cashing my check. I filed a complaint with the State of Arizona as well and was told they have been receiving a number of complaints this year on this company. The suspicion is they are trying to skip town if they can round up enough sucker cashp prior to. I can't believe they are still in business. Hopefully, this will end soon.
To add insult to injury, we also discovered household items either broken or missing. This company is a ticking timebomb. If you are reading these reports, consider yourself lucky if you were about to hire them. DO NOT. BAD BAD news.

5 Reel SlotsThe world of online slots never ends. Like New York City, it is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and there is more variety there than most people could believe. There are slots of all kinds found online, in as many shapes, sizes, colors, themes, etc., as the universe holds. The same is true of any particular division of the online slots world. So just as any regular online slots player would expect diversity, so would the online 5 reel slots player. When one types "5 reel slots" into Google, 433,000 hits appear. In a quick scan of the first page of hits, 5 reel slots game with themes as varied as ancient Egypt, magic, fruit smoothies, flaming crates, shopping and more appear. That's pretty exciting for most people because the visual stimulation involved in such a colorful game only augments the mental and emotional stimulation at the thought of winning money relatively quickly and easily. At the same time, it can take your imagination into a lot of different places and daydreams, all perhaps within minutes of each other. So get into your game, get playing, get dreaming and get winning.
5 Reel Slots: Play for RealThe best part about the online 5 reel slots world is that if you want to play for real, then you play for real. These don't have to be games played for brownie points alone; of course, if you want to play for free just for practice, that's always an option. But once you graduate into the world of real 5 reel slots (say that five times fast), you will play for real – real money, real stakes, real bets and real winnings. So as you watch the reels and the images on them spin around and around and around in those few seconds that it takes to display the results of each round, you can imagine the dollar signs spinning in your mind's eye as you hope to win because if you do win, you are winning real money. Even though you're playing 5 reel slots online, you still must have an account with the casino at which you're playing and that account must still be funded with money from somewhere: a credit or debit card, a checking account, or some sort of voucher (this last one is more common in Europe). So when you win money playing 5 reel slots – when you play for real – that money, in real currency, will be transferred into your online casino account. And it all happens fairly quickly, and then you have access to that money. Because this is the point: it's real money. And what could be better than to be able to enjoy your time playing exciting and fun games and to win real money doing so?

Ever-proud of our postcard weather, the Inland Valley had to work pretty hard explaining away what happened during several days in January 1922.
It started on the 20th when actual snow fell in Pomona.
All right -- it was just a few flakes, but it motivated the Pomona Progress to emphasize to all that our weather was still wonderful compared to the frozen East.
Twice that day, ". . .the streets were filled with eager men and women who hoped that it would be a real snowfall," wrote newspaper that afternoon.
Alas, what they found was a mere whisper of white -- No drifts hampered traffic nor were there any icy sidewalks or driveways to clear off.
"People hoped for that sort of snow but the best that could be produced was a little spitting precipitation in which about 3,000 snowflakes altogether fell this morning," said the Progress.
As that "spitting" storm left the area, things really got nasty. The next day's clear skies arrived with temperatures plunging well below freezing, putting the area's orchards at risk.
Orange and lemon trees still held some fruit ready to be picked and shipped to the East so the frost threatened the livelihood of just about everyone.
To the rescue came a low-tech hero, a curious metal affair looking more like a slimmed-down R2-D2.
This was the sinple orchard heater -- also known by its less-sophisticated name, the smudge pot. These metal containers burned crude oil to warm the air around trees in a desperate attempt to protect them from frost.
With the use of the heaters came one rather negative byproduct: acres of sooty smoke reducing visibility to almost nothing.
"Heavy black clouds of smudge smoke settled down on the business and residential district (of Pomona) before midnight last night," wrote the Ontario Daily Report on Jan. 20 as the temperature hit 23 in Pomona and Ontario and 22 in San Bernardino and Upland.
The consequence of living in such a smoke-filled atmosphere was much more than just sealing doors and windows to keep the soot from homes and businesses.
The smoke made driving an adventure -- especially with so many trucks delivering oil to groves or hauling workers (many of them high school kids) to keep the heaters burning.
"Last night's smudge smoke was so thick that automobiles had difficulty negotiating the highways," said the Daily Report of Jan. 21, noting three automobiles, two touring cars and a truck ran off shrouded West A Street (today's Holt Boulevard) in Ontario.
In Puente (years before that town got "La" added to its name), a motorist driving his touring car in the smoke didn't see a railroad crossing and got stuck on the tracks.
Other drivers arrived to help as a train (also mostly blinded) approached. Like a silent-movie thriller, the car was pulled off by another car with a rope seconds before the train roared past.
After a couple of these freezing nights, the weather improved, orchard heaters were shut off and the air returned to normal.
The loss - about 40 percent of the crop still on the trees - was significant for citrus growers.
Oranges that have been frozen do not immediately show the effects. The board of supervisors for both San Bernardino and Los Angeles counties passed emergency orders, halting the shipment of any fruit until the extent of the damage was determined. It was done to protect the reputation of the area's citrus products.
There was another reputation that really needed repairs -- our claims to having always-good weather.
Heck, this was nothing compared to another frost in 1918, claimed real estate agent F.P. Chaffee, and that one didn't damage very much fruit.
"But there was little difference in the quality or quantity of the fruit sold," he told the Daily Report of Jan. 21. "But those pessimists -- they won't look back."
The Daily Report of Jan. 26 provided an optimistic bit of news.
It said the region had already shipped much of its crop and with a shortage likely for the remainder, "citrus growers will receive approximately double the amount for their oranges than they would have had the crop not been damaged by frost."
Every cloud, even full of smoke, does have a silver lining.

As if my life wasn't bad enough.
I am now attending Carsiles Boarding School for over 13's. Well at least I wouldn't get any stick from Eenie Weenies... I think.
"Bex darling I would have you myself if I could but I have to respect your mother. Besides Chiquana is enough for me, let alone her sisters. But there is absolutely nothing to worry about. You have mine and Chiquana's contact so do not hesitate. And if you get holidays, Chiquana could come or you could visit for a couple of days."
Chiquana's mum carried on patting her black curls. Chiquana was my best friend and as much as I loved her, I always thought her mum's hair was a strange combination with her skin. Her smooth dark skin was still recovering from adolescent acne but her hair was sleek, teased into curls. Within seconds, her hands could whip her hair into a perfect chignon.
Although Chiquana and I practically runned Malibu, her mum was sometimes mistaken for her sister.
The warm sweet scent of the house was painfully familiar and I swallowed back the lump that was stuck in my throat.
"Chiquana darling say your last goodbyes. It's ten and the train leaves soon."
Oh god. This was what i'd been dreading since last Wednesday.
"Oh Bex, I can't even begin to describe how I feel. I just want to say... omigod..."
"Chi, it's fine. I'll visit. Seriously you need to breathe, Literally."
I gushed it out, breathless and although I wanted to be reassuring, I was hyperventilating too.
"It's really time to go now. I'm so sorry. I truly am."
Our hug broke and I turned and started to walk away. I clutched the heart necklace we each had half of, only because I felt like I had left the other half behind. But deep down, I knew I had.

Marks & Spencer Lifts British RetailJames Thompson
Marks & Spencer gave the retail sector a much-needed shot in the arm yesterday by posting fourth-quarter results that beat gloomy forecasts, driven by an uplift in younger customers numbers and buoyant kidswear sales.
Sir Stuart Rose—who again shrugged off the latest shareholder missive concerning his role as executive chairman—warned that while trading conditions on the high street had not deteriorated, they had not improved.
"The numbers are moving in the right direction. We have taken many actions over the last three to six months, both in foods and general merchandise, to get our business back on track," Sir Stuart said.
For the 13 weeks to 28 March, M&S delivered UK like-for-like sales down by 4.2 per cent, but City analysts had forecast a decline of 6.8 per cent. The retailer's underlying food sales fell by 3.7 per cent, and its clothing-dominated general merchandise was 4.8 per cent lower.
Sam Hart, an analyst at Charles Stanley, said: "The figures suggest that the third quarter of 2008-09 may have marked the nadir of M&S's sales performance in the current downturn."
For the 13 weeks to 27 December, M&S delivered UK like-for-like sales down by 7.1 per cent, with general merchandise falling by 8.9 per cent and food by 5.2 per cent.
Shares in M&S soared by 31.5p, or 12 per cent, to 296p yesterday and raised hopes that the worst of the consumer downturn may be over, although few expect the good times to return to the sector soon.
The M&S trading statement helped to lift the shares in other retailers, including the fashion retailer Next, which was up by 5.5 per cent, and the DIY group and B&Q owner Kingfisher, which was higher by 6.3 per cent.
Of the 464,000 new customers M&S attracted in the quarter, the retailer said 200,000 were younger than 35 years old. M&S said that Lily Cole, the 20-year old model who is the face of its Limited Collection, had boosted the number of younger shoppers.
The retailer's total UK sales fell by 0.3 per cent, but M&S said that adjusting for the timing of Easter this year would add 0.7 per cent to both its general merchandise and food sales.
However, its star performer in clothing was kidswear. Sir Stuart said: "Kids had another good quarter and market share is now at its highest level by both value and volume for seven years."
Sir Stuart said that M&S had held its overall clothing market share over the 52 weeks ending 1 February, based on TNS FashionTrak data. But Tony Shiret, an analyst at Credit Suisse, believes that M&S is losing market share to fashion retailers, including H&M, Zara, Primark, Tesco and Asda. "It [M&S] has not addressed any of the key issues such as marketing, price and product," Mr Shiret said.
Its group sales, buoyed by a strong international performance, rose by 1.9 per cent over the quarter.
Sir Stuart pointed to a further improvement in the performance of its food business, which accounts for about half of its sales, driven by its "Wise Buys", "Dine In for £10" and "Family Favourite" offers. Sales of its cheaper Wise Buys are up by 50 per cent, year on year, and now account for 15 per cent of food sales. Total food sales inched up by 0.4 per cent. But price cuts in food will take their toll on its overall UK retail gross margin in 2008/09, which will be 175 basis points lower than last year.
Sir Stuart brushed off criticism over his dual role, which in effect sees him act as chief executive and chairman, and the shareholder motion filed by the Local Authority Pension Fund Forum this week calling on M&S to appoint an independent chairman by July 2010. Sir Stuart said: "I feel perfectly relaxed [about it]. It is a motion, it does not mean it will happen."
City analysts expect M&S's full-year profits to tumble up to 40 per cent to about £600m in 2009 from £1bn last year.

'Killing Lincoln' buries legend, legacy in facts
"Killing Lincoln" is positively vice presidential in that it has twice the title but none of the power or prestige of commander in chief.
It goes without saying that this docudrama based on the bestselling nonfiction book, co-written by Bill O'Reilly and airing at 7 p.m. Sunday on the National Geographic Channel, suffers by comparison to Steven Spielberg's Oscar-nominated "Lincoln."
It is less a companion piece to that riveting and cinematically rich personality profile of the tortured and driven 16th president of the United States than a sidekick. It is a ticking-clock collection of footnotes and anecdotes about events during the weeks, days and hours leading up to his assassination by John Wilkes Booth.
Lincoln's presidency and death were watershed moments in the American narrative fabric, and both "Lincoln" and "Killing Lincoln" exploit the souvenir-shop mentality that has sprung up around them. But while Spielberg whittled away at the myth to illuminate the man, the just-the-facts approach of "Killing Lincoln" obscures him. The stripped-down result may be accurate, but it also is contextually impoverished.
Anyone with a beard and scowl can approximate Lincoln. No one will confuse TV actor Billy Campbell - recently of "The Killing," who plays him in the docudrama - with Oscar nominee Daniel Day-Lewis, who plays him in the film.
Campbell offers a minimalist, raspy-voiced, physically awkward snapshot in a screenplay, by Emmy-winning "Band of Brothers" writer Erik Jendresen, that is as much about Booth as Lincoln. It's a historical flume ride through a river of minutiae, supplemented by narrator Tom Hanks' intonation of time and distance measurements like a train conductor announcing stops:
"Abraham Lincoln has six weeks to live"; "Jefferson Davis will die 24 years later at the age of 81"; "Eight blocks away . . . "; "At 21 minutes and 55 seconds past 7 a.m. on Saturday April 15, 1865," Lincoln stops breathing; "15 seconds later his heart stops"; "Now it is the morning of April 26 and John Wilkes Booth has only hours to live."
Yet there is some diverting trivia: The wanted poster for Booth was the first to use photographs; the stenographer at Lincoln's deathbed was a Civil War veteran who lost his legs in battle; upon Lincoln's death, Secretary of War Edwin Stanton may have said "Now he is with the angels" instead of "ages"; and so on.
As played by Jesse Johnson, son of Don Johnson, Booth is prone to melodramatic actions and pronouncements. His declaration "I stand with Brutus," foreshadows his shout of "Sic Semper Tyrannis" after shooting Lincoln at Ford's Theatre.
History, intones Hanks, has reduced Booth to "a scoundrel and madman." When in fact, Hanks speculates, he was actually "on his way to becoming one the greatest actors of his time."
It is more likely that, like others who make history at gunpoint, if not for killing Lincoln, he would not be remembered at all.
It seems like just yesterday that stores were stocked with Valentine's Day items. Today, those decorations have been swapped out for displays of Guinness beer in anticipation of St. Patrick's Day on March 17. Although they could be for opening day on April 1.
You can't tell the holiday without a score card, and one such gauge are the Arbitron radio ratings from Dec. 6 through Jan. 2.
The survey is known as the Christmas book, and it is notable because it measures listening at a time when certain stations abandon their regular format in favor of playing all holiday music. However, the survey is also regarded as an aberration because it measures a period when the normal competitive environment is interrupted.
Traditionally, two stations in Milwaukee switched to holiday formats: Entercom station WMYX-FM (99.1) and Clear Channel station WRIT-FM (95.7). However, this past season, only WRIT did so, and ended up topping the Christmas book among total listeners, ages 6 and older, and among adults 25 to 54. In fact, the station nearly doubled the ratings of second-ranked WMIL-FM (106.1) in both demographics.
Among listeners 18 to 34, WMIL was top-ranked, WXSS-FM (103.7) was second and WRIT was third.
WMYX was ranked seventh, and had one-third as many listeners as WRIT among total listeners; ranked seventh among listeners 18 to 34; ranked fourth among listeners 25 to 54, with about half the listeners of WRIT.
Wonder if these ratings will cause WMYX to change formats this Christmas?

One of New Zealand's most successful women's amateur representatives, Brenda Ormsby, is swapping her golf clubs for a fishing rod.
Today's Danny Lee Springfield Open will be Ormsby's last as the club's pro-golfer. The 54-year-old will hang up her clubs and replace them with a fishing rod as she and partner Mark Dickson move to the Coromandel.
After more than 11 years as a pro, Ormsby said it was time for her to take a bit of time out, to relax and enjoy something else.
A past winner of the Bay of Plenty Sports Awards supreme title, Ormsby plans on making the most of the couple's 4m boat.
"When I first thought about it, I was a bit scared what was going to happen but the moment I handed in my resignation, I felt a sense of relief. Now I can do what I really want to do ...
"I absolutely love fishing, I am totally hooked on fishing. Mark has a bach at Port Jackson, that is right at the top of the Coromandel Peninsula, and that's where the boat lives."
Ormsby, who has represented Bay of Plenty, Thames Valley and New Zealand while an amateur said she targets mainly snapper.
"I caught a 20 pounder, it was a total fluke and I was lucky, I'd only been going out with Mark for about a year and I'd only been out a couple of times with him on the boat," Ormsby said.
"The first time I went out, I made out I was a real dummy and he was baiting my rod, unbaiting it and unhooking the fish. I was really living this up, until he discovered I could do it myself."
The pro-golfer, said although she was looking forward to the move she would miss the club members.
"This stint has been 10 years as the pro. I was working in the shop for a year, while the previous pro was away over in the States. So I looked after the shop."
Ormsby said she wasn't going to give away golfing entirely.
"I don't plan on having any affiliation with any golf club up there but as far as I'm aware - and I haven't really done my homework - there isn't a lot of golf pros up there and there's probably a bit of a hole for coaching and things.
"I've got the idea of being able to do some coaching up that way at different courses, travel around and do clinics and things like that; charge them of course because I've got to put petrol in the boat."
This year's Open will crown a new champion, with last year's winners Landyn Edwards and Pakuranga's Keh Wenyung not returning to defend their titles. Edwards was a late withdrawal; it is understood the golfer had lost his clubs after recently returning from overseas.
Another late withdrawal is Bay of Plenty golfer Zoe Brake.
Ormsby said with neither champion returning, it had opened up a great opportunity for any of the 96 who have entered the two-day tournament which started this morning.
She was picking Victor Janin in the men's division, after he shot a round of 62 last week. That equalled Danny Lee's record set in 2007 - before the new course layout.
"Chantelle Cassidy looks the one to beat [in the women's division]. I asked her how her form was and she said it was 'pretty good'."
The competition is played over 54 holes of strokeplay with two 18-hole rounds today and the final tomorrow morning.
There are rumours around the club that Lee may turn up. The pro-golfer said on television last year that he was keen to come back to the tournament. However, organisers haven't had any confirmation from Lee.

Among the 13,500 Japanese runners in the field of 35,000 at the 41st running of the Honolulu Marathon on Dec. 8, seven-year-old Haruka Masuda finished the race full of enthusiasm with her parents Shinya and Harue Masuda. Meeting Honolulu's minimum age of seven, Haruka is a second-grader at an elementary school in Nagoya. Swimming is her favorite kind of exercise, but on the suggestion of her parents, both avid runners, she decided to run Honolulu.
Running at a pace set by her father Shinya that would "let us finish in time to make the post-race party," Haruka reached the goal line ahead of schedule in 7:41:45. "The scenery was really beautiful," she said excitedly afterwards. "That was fun." However, she added that she prefers swimming and so is not sure when she will run Honolulu again.
Translator's note: The marathon world record for a seven-year-old girl is 3:51:54 held by American Jennifer Amyx.

Mashed screw thread
I need to take the door pannel of my car and there is a screw which the head has been mashed and i am unable to remove it. I need to take it off so i can fit central locking.
Does anyone know how i can remove this screw??
I have used valve lapping compound on the tip of my screwdriver in the past to give much more grip while removing a damaged screw.
I found this tool online a bit pricey but it may be the ticket or maybe similar ones might be cheaper. I did see something like it at a local hardware store but I can reamer what the price was.
At last resort you can remember drill the head off of it then once the panel is removed work with the mess without damaging the panel. If you try this keep the drill slow and use a sharp bit to keep the heat down most door panels don't like heat.
Thanks i will try this!
Don't know if you have use of a welder, but I have use one in this case before. I welded another screw to the messed up screw and let it sit a little and cool then try removing the screw and both should come out since they are now connected!!
Unfortunately I've had this problem only too often, working on ships in the sea environment soon does horrible things to fastenings!
Your firts option is to go to your local friendly garage and borrow whats called an ' easy out' set. This involves drilling a hole and screwing in the easy out which looks a bit like a screw but has a left hand thread, so as it goes in it gets tighter while applying opposite torque to the offending screw which tries turning anticlockwise with the tool.
If you can't get hold of this tool then just drill out the the old one.
This leaves you with a hole bigger than the previous screwhole with no thread.
You can either put a new thread in with a 'tap' (again you will have to get hold of a kit with various sizes in) choose a tap that is slightly larger than thye hole its going into. Taps are good because they make standard sixe threads so B&Q or the motor shop should have one to fit the hole!
Lastly, you can buy threaded inserts that fit in the hole and are held in place by using a tool on them a bit like a pop rivet gun.
As you can see you are going to have to make friends with a mechanic or splash out on the tools that you may never use again!
Best of luck
In my opinion easy outs are basically useless when you get down to screw sizes. If you are 1/4 or larger say about 5 1/2 to 6 mm. Then easy outs are a possibility, and 5/16 or 8mm or larger they become one of the first options ("bolts"). Basically the same with welding. Anything under 1/4" diam is normally better to try and get it out or just drill it out. Seriously when plastic door panels are near by. I am sure there are some to disagree. But when trim and door panels or in the mix it is hard to disagree. They are generally made of all plastic and you must get them out of the way before heat or much tooling is applied or accessible. Door pulls are generally at least 1 1/2" deep before the screw hole. that makes most easy out difficult. Anything else on the door is much smaller screws. That doesn't receive an easy out all to well. But I hope the simple ways worked for syphon and he got the job done without making too much of a mess.
If the need to drill a faster is required the fasteners nicknackynoo mentioned are a very good option. Although you do need the setting tool.

Is it just me or is there something wrong with this image?
She does it for a full page. Isn't this a comic for kids? Ms. Marvel is supposed to be watching the television. But really, who watches TV like that? It doesn't look exactly comfortable for your back. It's not like they're watching a small television. It's a pretty big flat screen. I'm sure we can assume it's a state of the art high-def. set too.
Maybe she's trying to make a statement. Maybe she's trying to find her place on the New Avengers since she used to hang out with the Mighty Avengers. Her costume has always been a little lacking below the waste. She's all like, "Oooh, look at me!"
It does seem to be working too. Check out Bucky/Cap.
It's like he's thinking, "Hmmmm....check this out." Maybe he's trying to decide who's showing more of their rear between Ms. Marvel and Mockingbird. Or maybe he's thinking, "Hot damn, I picked a great time to join the Avengers!"
The other great thing is when the team discovers that Wolverine has a son. They're all speechless but leave it to Spider-Man to be able to ask what they're all thinking.
New Avengers #50 is gonna be a blast.

Live coverage as Leyton Orient are beaten on penalties in the League 1 Play-Off Final at Wembley Stadium
- Leyton Orient suffer a devastating play-off final defeat as they are beaten 4-3 on penalties.
