Guest Post! Roasted Banana Overnight Cinnamon Buns
Hello friends! Yup, I'm still moving. And guess what? It has rained, no poured every single day! That makes moving lots of fun. But it also shows you where the best (and driest) places to put things in your basement are! LOL Old houses are fun! We are almost done bringing boxes over, and I think a few more trips should do it! Joel has had to work some long hours this week (of course), and we have been so blessed to have some awesome friends helping us out!
Today's awesome guest post is brought you by my dear friend Shelley of C Mom Cook! Shelley is my first ever "blogging buddy". We met through the Daring Bakers, starting stalking each others's blogs, then started emailing each other, then we started calling each other... We talk like every day, seriously! Although I have never met her face to face, she is truly a great friend of mine, and I am SO excited that she agreed to do a guest post for me! She always has fabulous recipes, and has as much fun cooking with her two beautiful kids. Please stop by her blog and check it out!
Hi there! I'm Shelley from C Mom Cook, and I am so excited to be a guest here. I love this blog (and the blogger behind it!), and I can't even tell you how many recipes I have made after seeing them posted here. So when Jenni asked if I'd be willing to share something, I automatically said yes.
Then I had a little dilemma.
You see, I wanted to make something special. Because everything on this blog looks delicious and wonderful and... well... special! So I had to pick something that was worthy.
And then it came to me.
You see, I'd been trying to think of different breakfast treats that could be (at least mostly) prepared in advance. I've seen overnight cinnamon rolls (here, even!), overnight monkey bread, various sorts of overnight sweet rolls... and I wanted to try something inspired by those.
I even found a delicious looking basic sweet bread dough recipe...
And then inpiration hit.
Not just bananas - roasted bananas.
I mean, you need fruit with your breakfast, right? Bananas are healthy, right? So adding them to a cinnamon bun must mean it will be a healthy breakfast!
Nod, please.
I actually found a recipe for roasted banana cinnamon buns online, and then adapted it slightly, and adapted the process a little, using the sweet bread dough recipe I'd already been eyeing up.
The smell in the house, after roasting the bananas and preparing the buns, was amazing.
And the smell in the morning when the buns baked was even better.
And what is a cinnamon roll without some glaze? To complete the breakfast theme, I chose to top them with maple glaze.
What a treat. These were delicious, ooey-gooey awesomeness. From the dough to the filling to the glaze, these were a delightful treat and made for a super decadent breakfast.
Roasted Banana Cinnamon Buns with Maple Glaze
For the Dough: ( adapted from allrecipes)
1 cup milk
1/3 cup white sugar
1/3 cup butter
1 tablespoon active dry yeast
4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the milk, sugar and butter. Heat until slightly warm to the touch then remove from heat and stir in the yeast. I found that I had to let the milk mixture cool a bit before adding the yeast, as the milk got pretty hot in order to dissolve the sugar. Once the yeast has been added, let stand until foamy, about 10 minutes.
In a large bowl, stir together the flour and salt. Mix in the eggs, oil and the yeast mixture. Mix until dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl. Turn dough out onto a floured surface and continue to knead until the dough is smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes. Grease a large bowl with 1 tablespoon of oil. Place the dough into the bowl and turn once to coat. Cover and let stand in a warm place until double in size, about 1 hour.
Roasted Bananas:
3 bananas, cut into 1/2-1" chunks
2 tbsp brown sugar
1 1/2 tbsp butter, cut into small pieces
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Spread the banana chunks into a 1 1/2-2 quart baking dish. Sprinkle with the brown sugar and dot the top with the butter pieces.
Roast the bananas at 400 degrees for 40 minutes, stirring after about 20 minutes.
When the bananas have cooled a bit, mash them with a fork.
For the Filling: (based on Picky Palate)
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 1/2 tbsp cinnamon sugar
All of the mashed roasted bananas
Mix together all filling ingredients until well combined.
To prepare the buns:
Risen dough
Prepared filling
4 tablespoons butter, room temperature (almost melty is great)
Once the dough has risen, gently deflate it.
Roll the dough into a big rectangle.
Spread the butter over the dough.
Spread the banana/brown sugar mixture over the butter. It will most likely mix right in with the butter, and that is totally okay.
Starting with one long end, roll the dough into a log.
Cut the log into 12 pieces, and place each piece, cut side up, into a 9" x 13" pan.
Cover the pan with plastic wrap and place it into the refrigerator overnight. (Or, let it rest for about 30 minutes and proceed to the baking directions.)
In the morning, take the tray out of the refrigerator and allow it to come up to temperature for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Bake the cinnamon buns for 25-30 minutes.
For the glaze: (based on Joy the Baker)
1 cup confectioners' sugar
1 tablespoon maple syrup
2-6 tablespoons milk (I needed more than I expected!)
Measure the confectioners' sugar into a medium bowl. Whisk in the maple syrup and enough milk (adding it a little at a time) to make a good, easily pourable consistency.
Drizzle glaze over finished cinnamon buns.

Yum! These look really delicious. I love the idea of making them up the night before and baking them fresh the next morning.ReplyDelete
I can't believe I missed Shelley's guest post! We both went 'bananas'! These buns look amazing, so amazing, I'm bookmarking them right now!ReplyDelete
It is wonderful to see two amazing bloggers work togetherReplyDelete
So sorry I missed this when it was posted and I was nodding like crazy about the bananas making the cinnamon buns healthy, that is my kind of reasoning
I can't wait to make these

Nissan Demolishes LMP2 Class at LeMans 24 Hours
According to LeMans.org, "In endurance racing, teams and drivers strive to climb to progressively higher levels of competition. After learning of the discipline in the one-make formula LM PC (eligible in ALMS and ELMS), competitors can move up to the LM P2 category (Le Mans Prototype 2). It has enabled teams like Rebellion Racing (LMS vice champion 2009) and Strakka (winner of Le Mans 24 Hours 2010) to gain experience before entering the arena of LM P1."
Nissan has posted a fun video about the 24 hours of LeMans. It also highlights damage done to one of its cars. Alex Brundle, Martin Brundle and Lucas Ordonez are pictured above.
Former Le Mans winner Martin Brundle made good his return when he came home in eighth place in class with his son Alex and GT Academy winner Lucas Ordonez, according to information supplied by Nissan. The second GT Academy winner Jordan Tresson made his Le Mans debut, impressing the Signatech Nissan team with his professionalism as he powered to ninth place alongside Franck Mailleux and Olivier Lombard.
"I really enjoyed that," said Martin straight after taking the No.42 Greaves Motorsport Zytek Nissan to the chequered flag. "It was a tough race as we had an alternator belt let go in the early stages and later we were nursing throttle problems. That was a bit scary actually, especially when I went off at the first chicane. I just clipped the barrier and slid along it so luckily it was okay.
"Would I do it again?" continued Martin. "Why not? I think I would definitely do it again. I actually drove for longer than the boys and really got into the groove. I realized at the official test day just how competitive LMP2 is this year.
"If we had the reliability of the sister car we would've been cooking on gas and got a podium finish but that's the way this game goes. I'm over the moon with Al's performance and genuinely impressed with Lucas. The fantastic thing is that all three of us were well matched on pace. The 'kids' have done an amazing job."
After finishing second in LMP2 last year, Lucas Ordonez wanted a win this year but it wasn't to be. He put up a great fight though and enjoyed his battle with fellow GT Academy winner Jordan Tresson.
"The race was really hard at the beginning as we had some issues with the car," explained Lucas. "Once we sorted these the car was really flying. We were running quite highly but lost some positions in the night as we were starting to suffer from a problem with the throttle. I had an off because of this but I was recovered from the gravel and able to get back to the pits.

Where I stayed
Arrived in Kota Kinabalu and after a little difficulty (taxi driver did not know where our hostel was) arrived at Masada Backpackers which is very clean, comfortable, friendly with great breakfasts included (help yourself any time of day) and the only down side being the walls which have the same soundproofing capacity as newspaper. It was a pleasant stay, and from the town, which is mainly post war but not what you could call modern, we made a couple of excursions. One was to the Kinabalu Park which is the area from which walkers start their climb up Mount Kinabalu (4095 m). Despite the books all recommending it as a good bird watching site we saw very little.
We had decided before arriving that the climb was not for us and we were reassured that it was a good decision when other walkers returned to the hostel and we observed their condition
The museum was another interesting excursion, especially the outdoor Heritage village (which is like Singleton in West Sussex) where a collection of original long houses have been brought together from different parts of Borneo to show the homes of various ethnic groups. We followed this up with an evening visit to Mari Mari, (which means welcome in the local language) a traditional village in which the original activities are demonstrated. It is a tourist attraction but well done as it provides a lot of information and gives a snapshot of what life in the long house was like. I had never appreciated how versatile bamboo is. It provides the construction material for the houses which have no nails but are tied together with more bamboo
However, for me the greatest surprise was the trampoline. Yes, every long house worth its name had one. Using wooden branches to give support and "bounce", the beautifully constructed trampoline took pride of place upstairs where it was used for fun during social gatherings. Now, we are talking about head hunters here. They head hunted for different reasons but the most common was when a man wanted to marry he had to bring home a head (detached from the body of course) to prove that he could protect his prospective bride. Then picture the scene, he returns triumphant, clutching a head, the group celebrate with a feast and then they trampoline the evening away together! I don't know if it is just me but that Alice in Wonderland image caused a mild attack of hysteria. One head was on display in a house and we were assured it was a replica because, "it would be very disrespectful to the dead person to put his head where everyone would see it". I would have thought removing it in the first place was a little more disrespectful!
Kota Kinabalu (KK) has street markets, a fish market, jetty, and a little further out between the town and the airport is a lovely beach and Prince Philip Park
After deep consideration for about 30 seconds we decided to blow the budget once more and take some trips on the basis that we are unlikely to visit Borneo again so should see everything we can. Online searches proved fruitless or confusing as information on transport is difficult to pin down so eventually we used an agent who was excellent. She linked everything together and gave us precise instructions, such as, "Go to window 3 with 80 ringits and they will give you the tickets", and "Ask the bus driver to set you down at the Sepilok roundabout and someone will come to collect you". More amazingly they did – it all worked like clockwork. There were 3 areas we wanted to visit, Sepilok Orang Utan Rehabilitation Centre and Jungle resort, the Kinabatangan River and the diving area of Sipadan/Mabul Islands. There is also Turtle Island where you can see the turtles laying eggs and then help the hatchlings down to the sea, but we gave that a miss as we have seen turtles lay eggs in Tobago.
At Sepilok we did a night walk in the jungle and watched flying squirrels climb to the top of gigantic trees and then jump off, open their membranes like kites, and glide down slowly travelling up to 100 metres across the top of the jungle. Our guide showed us spiders, snakes, frogs, birds sleeping on trees and a mouse deer, a deer which is only about 12 inches tall. We had our leech socks on, right up over our knees so felt secure but on returning to our room I saw blood all over Jim's thigh. One had managed to either get through or bite through his trousers. It had disappeared, probably fallen off in a bloated stupor after drinking lots of his blood
We were lucky to see orang utans on the reserve and in the wild. On our river trips we saw orang utans, long-tailed macaques, pig tailed macaques, proboscis monkeys, silver leaf monkeys with an albino baby as well as numerous birds, (including crested serpent eagle, a pair of storm storks, horn bills, pied, and wrinkle, stork billed kingfisher, purple heron, black backed kingfisher, dollar bird, blue eared kingfisher, white crowned shama, blue tailed and blue throated bee eaters, darters, white bellied eagle, lesser fish eagle, Brahminy kites, lesser adjutant and a blue heron).
On walks we saw a large scorpion, lots of spiders, 3 snakes, tree and jungle frogs, a civet cat in a tree and pygmy elephant footprints.
Although the accommodation was simple at Sepilok and Kinabatangan, and designed to have minimal impact on the environment, it was clean and comfortable with friendly and helpful staff
We came down to earth with a bump. To say Semporna is a dump is an insult to the many organised and efficient council dumps that we have experienced in England. If it was not for the diving, no visitors would ever set foot here. There is rubbish everywhere, including the sea (and it drifts out for a couple of miles), and great holes 2 to 3 feet deep in the pavement. There are villages built on stilts over the sea. The scenery is stunning but it is necessary to be short sighted to appreciate it. Good vision brings the rubbish into view, as well as the rats, especially on the tourist jetty where the otherwise attractive stilt hotels are located. Thankfully Jim saw a warning online, (from a man who slept in one of them and had a rat land on his head in the night) and whilst here we have heard from others who have found them in their rooms and we have seen them.
Our hostel is probably not much better but it is a little further away from the water. When we arrived they had difficulty finding our booking, then could find no record of the diving reservation. This was critical as only 120 divers per day are allowed to dive the sites of Sipadan and it is necessary to get a permit in advance
The chaos at Global Diving became more evident the next day when I and a young couple from Cardiff, Sarah and Matthew, met at 7am for our first day diving the Mabul island sites. After much waiting around and no sign of a dive master or dive equipment, a young woman arrived from another dive company and took us around to her office located at one end of the jetty. Our reception staff explained nothing to us, but evidently we had been "farmed out" to consolidate another company's boat for the day. Eventually we signed the usual disclaimer and were directed to wait on the jetty for a boat. It was about twice the size of a bath tub when it arrived – in fact I have been in larger jacuzzis! It was half full with boxes and belongings being ferried across to Mabul, including 6 very large identical paintings wrapped in string and 2 brass candlesticks taped together
By 10am we arrived at Mabul and were met by the dive team there. From that second on everything changed. The dive masters, Tom, Nick and Albert (who is French so pronounced Albaire) are the most professional I have ever met. They introduced themselves, organized our equipment quickly, (of course we were late) and smoothly, gave superb briefings and took us off to dive. We did 3 dives in the day, an artificial reef dive, a wall, and finally a "muck" dive on sand. It was probably my best diving day ever. (Saw 3 types of frog fish, giant peacock tail shrimp, eels, stone fish, scorpion fish, various miniature shrimps, leaf fish, Mandarin fish and juvenile frog fish about 1" wide.)
Their passion for finding creatures to show us meant that I saw at least 30 things I had never seen before and would not have seen then but for their sharp eyes and friendly rivalry, as they vied with each other to find the tiniest and most unusual / ugly / beautiful things
We only broke down twice on the way back but after such a tremendous day, no-one cared. As we were late back we had to climb up onto the pier rather than the jetty. I couldn't believe what they were asking of us as it was a good 8 feet high without a ladder. Five people came to help, 3 supported the handrail to ensure it did not give way, and the other 2 hauled us up. A smooth disembarkation by Semporna standards.
By coincidence the Mabul dive outfit was attached to the accommodation Jim and I had pre-booked for 5 nights after Semporna as we thought we might rest and snorkel on the island. So I had chance to look it over. I saw the bedrooms, and the communal showers/toilets, and that was concerning, then I met up with a Danish brother and sister whom we had met previously in Sepilok. They were staying there and had received bites all over during the nights
The next day I dived Sipadan but that was back with Global so again it was total disorganisation, confusion and lack of preparation and information. Also, we only had one dive master, for what should have been 7 divers, including 4 inexperienced ones. In fact 2 did not arrive as one was very ill ( staying at Mabul but had to be brought to the doctor here) so it was one to five by default.
Despite the problems the diving itself was amazing. It is no wonder it has such a reputation amongst divers. Sipadan Island is a huge rock outcrop which rises up more than 600 metres from the ocean floor and it is at the meeting point of different seas and currents so it can be quite tricky diving. That's another reason to ensure good ratios of experienced and inexperienced divers.
We dived 3 different sites and soon realised that around Sipadan everything is larger than elsewhere, the shoals are huge, the turtles too, and even common coral fish like Angel fish are giants
Because of the rock structure rising from the seabed all the sites are walls (like huge cliffs) which drop from just below the surface to 600 metres at the bottom. At the last site, Turtle Town as it is known locally, turtles were everywhere, tucked into mini caves, resting on ledges and free swimming, ranging in size from babies to some 5 or 6 feet long and 4 feet wide. There were almost as many sharks around, mainly white tips, and lots of yellow finned barracuda that were as big as sharks, 3 to 6 feet. The middle dive was the most challenging as we had to go around a corner where different currents meet. The current was strong but in different directions and at one point was coming down from the surface at an angle of 45 degrees. You can tell because fish swim into the current. To see them heading up to the surface like that is disconcerting. In other places they were swimming every which way in confusion. I knew how they felt.
The 2 days were wonderful and I am not sure whether I will ever dive again as anything else might be a disappointment.
We have just booked our bus ticket back to KK to escape from here, it all feels too unhealthy, and hopefully we will take some time to rest and relax. Jim has had some kind of bug for a couple of days so he needs recovery time somewhere comfortable, we both have a few bites and I have a number of bruises and scratches from diving and climbing over boats and jetties so we are going to a hostel by the beach in KK to heal and regain energy. Jim really disliked Semporna so is very happy to move on.

|Patriots Look Poised For Another Super Bowl Run
|Bruins Trade For Drew Stafford
|Black and Gold Bruins Turn Yellow On Parade Day
|Inconsistency Will Continue For Bruins Unless A Change Is Made
The second-place Red Sox will send at least four players to this summer's MLB All-Star Game. Adrian Gonzalez (first base) and David Ortiz (designated hitter) were voted into the starting lineup by the fans, while Jacoby Ellsbury and Josh Beckett made Ron Washington's squad as reserves.
Gonzalez is perhaps the most obvious choice of the bunch. He leads the American League in hitting (.350) and RBI (74), and also ranks tied for 10th in home runs with 16. He has been the best player of the first half and is the leading MVP candidate heading into the final week before the All-Star Break. And….he can play right field!
Despite going 0-for-his-last-21, Ortiz has had a marvelous first half after two straight years of crappy starts. Ortiz leads the Red Sox in home runs (17) and also has 49 RBI to go with a .301 average and .382 on-base percentage.
In a far cry from last year's debacle, Ellsbury has turned in a strong season to earn his first All-Star appearance. Ellsbury has 9 home runs, 40 RBIs, and a .302 batting average. He also leads the American League with 26 stolen bases.
Beckett is making a shocking appearance to this year's team, as no one other than maybe Theo Epstein, Terry Francona, and Beckett thought he was capable of such a brilliant first half. After Sunday's dominant outing against the Astros, Beckett improved to 7-3 with a 2.12 ERA (second in the AL), 0.91 WHIP (second in the AL), and 91 strikeouts in 106.0 innings.
No, Dustin Pedroia (.278/.394/.406) is not nearly as deserving as he has been in recent years and should not be on the A.L. squad. I suppose you could make an argument for Jonathan Papelbon (17 SV, 3.53 ERA, 11.65 K/9) or Daniel Bard (2.25 ERA, 0.83 WHIP), but let's face it, four Red Sox and six Yankees (Derek Jeter, Robinson Cano, Alex Rodriguez, Curtis Granderson, Russel Martin, Mariano Rivera) represent almost a third of the AL squad.
Oh, and sorry John Lackey, as well as you think you have pitched, your numbers (5-7, 6.81 ERA) just aren't good enough.
Also, it's worth noting that players get replaced all the time (injury, vacation, other stuff)…so
Lackey the following players still have a shot.
Youk is the cleanup hitter for the best offense in the American League, yet has somehow missed the All-Star team for the second consecutive season? He hasn't been outstanding, but he's definitely been better than former Sox 3B Adrian Beltre (.271/.317/.470, 15 HR, 63 RBI), who made the team as the backup for starter Alex Rodriguez (.292/.373/.500, 13 HR, 52 RBI). Youk is hitting .271 with 11 home runs, 57 RBI, a .392 OBP and .476 SLG. Yes, Beltre, has better counting stats, but the averages (specifically OBP, and as a result, OPS) isn't even close.
We can pair Lester's snub with Yankees pitcher CC Sabathia. Both pitchers didn't make the team despite leading the league with 10 wins apiece. Lester (10-4) has 105 strikeouts in 110.1 innings. But, in a year that has seen a shocking 12 starters (somehow including Bartolo Colon) with ERA's under 3.00, it's a little easier to explain the absences of Lester and Sabathia.

Top 10 wines in the US press
Domaine Gouron Chinon 2010
This is the first of the "bargain wines" recommended by Dave McIntyre in the Washington Post. He wrote: "Here's French Cabernet Franc in all its white-pepper finery, with bing cherry flavours and a hint of earth. It's the clean, more modern side of Chinon. The winery also produces a more intense cuveé called Terroir."

Publix is making its North Carolina debut with the planned opening of a new store in the greater Charlotte area.
The company has signed a lease for a store at Providence Road West and Johnston Road in Ballantyne. The store will be part of a new division based in Charlotte.
While Ballantyne marks Publix's long awaited entry into North Carolina, the company is looking ahead to continued growth within the state and in its current operating areas of Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, Alabama and Tennessee.
Publix CEO, Ed Crenshaw, commented on the new market. "Our customers and associates have long asked us to come to North Carolina. We look forward to providing the Charlotte community with the high quality service and products that our customers have come to expect and that have earned us recognition throughout the industry. I am proud of our associate owners for their commitment to exceeding our customers' expectations, which has allowed Publix to continue to grow in new markets."
The grand opening date for the North Carolina location will depend on several factors, including permitting and completion of the store's construction; however, the opening is tentatively planned for early 2014.

WK oem fog light wire short
Has anyone else have any issues with with the factory fog light wires having a short in them? I noticed a fog light was out and when I went to replace it I noticed when I moved the wire the light went back on and then off when I kept moving it. Anyone else have the same problem? What did you do to resolve the issue?
Re: WK oem fog light wire short
is it the plug that causes the issue....the plug for the bulb?
put the bulb into the holder but NOT into the lamp and jiggle that plug end to see if that is causing the issue.
if so, just get another plug with some wire ends and solder/crimp it in there.
I'll have to try that out over the weekend when it stops raining
Re: WK oem fog light wire short
... its most likely the plug itself.
I used a pick tool and adjusted the contacts inside the plug so they make a snug fit once connected to the bulb. Haven't had a single issue since (2+ years). Took literally 5mins to fix both sides.
That would be awesome of that's all it is. Going to try to work on it tomorrow I think it will be the first day with no rain in about a week
It looks like its the wire going into plug. Took the bulb out of the lamp and played with the wires and the light went on and off. Also the one side of the connector inside the plug looked more corroded than the other. Looks like I have to get a new plug
Re: WK oem fog light wire short
Today I started to work on the fog light plug that has been giving me problems before I decided to cut the plug and put a new one in I played with the wires again the light stayed on for a little while then went out. So I put in a different blub in, a cheap one I bought off ebay. That blub stayed on I played with the wires kept moving them around and the bulb stayed on. I then took the bulb from the other side that I was not having problems with and put it into the plug with the problems it stayed on for a little while and went out. I put the cheap ebay blub back in and the light stays on. The blubs that are going out on the bad side are Putco H10 4000K. Could it be the plug thats bad that the Putco blubs are generating too much power or getting too hot and causing it too go out? Any thoughts?

Date of Stay: May, 2010
This is an excellent campground. I love the staff and the owners. The bathrooms are nice, pool is nice and the campsite itself was very nice. We had a brand new deck added onto the site so we had a place to grill and sit without sitting in gravel or grass. The campground was very quiet! They also have a nice store on the grounds for quick items you might need. Would highly recommend stopping here and not staying in the campgrounds in Jackson Tennessee or the campground in Yuma, Tennessee which is about 50 miles West.
Date of Stay: March, 2010
I would caution anyone who is thinking of camping here to check the electrical box and make sure the ground line is indeed grounded! One afternoon as my children and I were in the camper it started to smoke very badly. After getting the children out, the camp owner, an electrician (who was camping directly beside us) and myself inspected the damage. The electric box was putting 220 volts into my camper instead of 110 volts. With this overload of volts came a burned up refrigerator, built in vacuum cleaner, air conditioning, and 2 flat screen televisions and a few more items. The camp owner opened the electrical box and informed us it was a ground wire that had "come undone." Our camper was in the shop for over 1 month getting the repairs it needed. Our camper was only 1 year old. After the incident the camp owners decided to change their story and somehow say it was the campers fault. But any one out there who knows electricity knows that our camper doesn't produce the 220 volt...his bad electrical box did that. I am saying all this to just warn you to be aware of the electrical boxes that look like they are from the stone ages and to offer some advice. The advice is...just up the road a little ways toward Nashville is a wonderful campground. Buyer beware at JOY-O Rv Park!!

The fogs were on the car when we bought it. Both have glass lens, no cracks, and have bulbs installed. One was clear and one was fluted (lines inside glass) so I replaced them with a matching set. See pics below, fluted one seems a bit more worn than the clear one but I'm thinking it would buff out and look good.
$15 each for fogs

GordGord Downie, the Sadies and the Conquering Sun
Gord Downie, the Sadies and the Conquering Sun (Arts & Crafts)
For most of their career, Canadian twang-rockers the Sadies have effectively and purposefully defied musical convention to very positive effect. Whether working with soul and punk legends or hot-rodding soundtrack tribute albums, these dudes see no restrictions when taking their adventurous psychedelic/country/surf music to new heights.
Further testament comes in the form of this interesting collaboration with Tragically Hip-ster Gord Downie. One wouldn't think, based on past connections, that the Sadies would find much common ground with the lyrically obtuse Canuck rock bellower, yet this short 10-tracker is rock solid. Downie sounds like he usually does -- like a cross between Michael Stipe, Fred Schneider and a dying reindeer -- but with the wild psychedelic twangulations of the Sadies backing his play, the album has value. The title track is a boiling rocker that wouldn't sound out of context in a contemporary Hip set and by the time you reach the mid-point of the album (It Didn't Start To Break My Heart Until This Afternoon) there is a fiery passion that really cooks.
A must-hear for Hip and Sadies fans. 3 1/2

A Tribute to Bob Dylan in the 80s, Volume One (ATO)
The Bob Dylan industry has never been more lucrative, and the latest attempt to target his seemingly insatiable fans is this 17-song set of covers (seven bonus songs come with the iTunes album download) of Dylan's 1980s material.
Artists well known to modern indie-rock audiences, such as Deer Tick, Blitzen Trapper and Glen Hansard, tackle a wide variety of genres from Dylan's gospel phase of the early '80s to his days with the Traveling Wilburys to the odd nursery rhyme-themed songs from Under the Red Sky that wound up the decade.
It wasn't Dylan's greatest decade, musically, but this album shakes the dust off some forgotten favourites. Langhorne Slim & the Law kick it off in style with a rocking Got My Mind Made Up from Dylan's Knocked Out Loaded 1986 recording and Bonnie (Prince) Billie teams up with Dawn Landes for an ultra-folky version of 1985's Dark Eyes. Hansard ditches the backup singers, but keeps the Christian message on Pressing On, proving there's memorable material when Dylan abandoned his hits in favour of God.
Some of it doesn't work though, naturally. Every Grain of Sand, for example, has some of Dylan's greatest lyrics, but Marco Beneveto leaves them out in a sappy instrumental. 3 1/2

The Hold Steady
Teeth Dreams (Razor & Tie)
The prevailing school of thought is the Hold Steady may never again reach the heights of its first four albums.
It's true the band was thrown for a loop by the departure of keyboardist Franz Nicolay, but it's also not 2005 anymore, kids. Craig Finn and co. can't be expected to be Pied Pipers to Holly and Gideon and their little hood rat friends forever, can they?
Well... if Teeth Dreams is any indication, the answer is yes and no.
First cut I Hope This Whole Thing Didn't Frighten You is ostensibly about a guy taking a new-ish girlfriend back to Minneapolis where "there's a side of this city I didn't want you to see," but it also seems a tacit acknowledgement of the Hold Steady's past -- a nod to the visceral world Finn and his band created, but which they now see through older, if not wiser, eyes.
The nine other songs on the record tread similar, familiar ground, conjuring images of world-weary types bonded together by life's hopes, failures, dreams and losses.
Sonically, the group seems reawakened by the addition of guitarist Steve Selvidge, whose chops both complement Tad Kubler and subsequently push both to play better. This is a dense guitar-rock album, so playing it loud on a big home system is probably the best approach. Ultimately, these songs are meant to be rocked out and shouted along to. 3 1/2

Grand Analog
Modern Thunder (Feel Up Records)
Released independently in Canada last August, Modern Thunder is being relaunched April 22 as the first album from New York City label Feel Up Records, a boutique imprint founded by Major Lazer's Jillionaire.
Whether or not signing to a U.S. label affords this Winnipeg/Toronto quintet greater exposure (and we hope it does), the simple fact is that Modern Thunder makes a beautiful noise.
Winnipeg's Williams brothers (MC Odario and DJ Ofield) and their bandmates Warren Bray (bass), Alister Johnson (keys) and TJ Garcia (drums) have long said they create "organic hip hop" by incorporating rap's electronic tools with the real grooves of live music.
From the opening cut, a horn-fuelled head-bobber called Lion Head, it's clear that GA has refined its sonic vision. Not only does the group touch on all its stated influences, from classic soul and R&B to dub to jazz and melodic pop, it creates 13 memorable songs that speak to each idiom while hanging together as a grooving, cohesive whole.
Highlights include last summer's buzz track, The Great Rhyme Dropper, featuring Shad; Gorgeous Jane, a funky shimmy with a classic R&B chorus from TAWLST; Howl Like Wolves, a finger-snapping jam that should never really end; and a pair of guest vocal spots -- Chic Gamine's Andrina Turenne does her sultry best on Modern Day Fool while Amanda Balsys brings an Austra-meets-Annie-Lennox vibe to Heart the Lonely Hunter.
Enough of me, though. Just go buy the damned thing. 4 stars

It's On Again (Columbia)
Taken from the upcoming Amazing Spider-Man 2 soundtrack and produced by Pharrell, It's On Again almost feels like two separate songs. Kendrick kicks things off rather aggressively with a rap that sounds like a lost Mama Said Knock You Out verse, before there's a fairly dramatic shift in tone with Alicia's much smoother, sweepingly cinematic portion. Decent, although perhaps somewhat confusing. 3 stars
Walk It Out (RCA)
Allegedly from her upcoming as-yet-untitled third album, Jennifer Hudson is mesmerizing on this sexy slow burner featuring some very classic, very chunky Timbaland beats that slink along seductively between sporadic spasms. Definite make-out music. 3 1/2
Beautiful Times (Republic)
Owl City has delivered plenty of pablum rhymes over the years, and his latest is no exception -- "a slow-motion wave on the ocean stirs my emotion" is almost laughable. That said, Beautiful Times is a pleasant, inoffensive piece of electro-pop that you can imagine being played over the closing credits of coming-of-age teen movie. 3 stars

|Study of the biological and economic impact of OJD in affected sheep flocks in NSW : 12 farm mortality study.

|Series/Report no.:
|This study provides industry with factual information about the impact of OJD on farms in southern Australia. This is needed to assess the magnitude of the OJD problem and to direct control and management programs. On 12 farms, the average annual OJD mortality rate based on inventory records from 2002-2004 was 6.8% (range 1.8% to 17.5%), well above the accepted annual mortality rate (from all causes) for Australian sheep flocks. OJD losses accounted on average for 70% (range 17% to 100%) of the estimated total financial loss associated with sheep deaths in 2002. In addition this project confirmed that prevalence based on pooled faecal culture (PFC) could be used as an indicator of OJD mortality level and provided support for further investigation of several risk factors in a larger future study (MLA OJD.038). The gross margin model developed provides estimates of on-farm cost of OJD and of vaccination control for wool and sheep-meat enterprises including break-even points for vaccination at various prevalence levels. We recommend that producers, through industry extension activities, be informed of the substantial losses associated with OJD and be encouraged to apply the model to support decision making regarding OJD control.

Right now 1 vote for each----so maybe you should buy all 3
This is a discussion on New Gun for X-Miss within the Defensive Carry Guns forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; OK my wife wants to get me a new gun for X-Mas. I have a commander, defender, WW1 1911, Beretta 92G-SD. So what would get??...
OK my wife wants to get me a new gun for X-Mas. I have a commander, defender, WW1 1911, Beretta 92G-SD. So what would get??
Right now 1 vote for each----so maybe you should buy all 3
An ounce of lead is worth 200lbs of cop.
None of the above. My choices would be an XD 45 5" Tactical, a 45 cal Kahr (I forget the model number), or possibly a 357 mag revolver. But that's if I'm stuck on hand guns. First, I'd like a Socom II, an AK 47, or sometime in 2008, a Magpul Masada.
Head for the range that has a good selection and try the ones that would work best for you.
Try before you buy is the best bet.
I would like to try be 4 I buy, but no one in Anchorage, Alaska has an in door range that dose that.
Out of the list provided, I would go for the XD9SC. I admire Glocks and their profound reputation for reliablity and support, but the Glock just doesn't work for me. I really liked Springfield's XD (that was until S&W came out with the M&P) and own an XD9SC. It has been a very good gun and has given me no problems in over two years of abuse.
I would get a Kimber Ultra CDP II. I want this so badly right now!!! That's my vote.
-"I may get killed with my own gun, but he's gonna have to beat me to death with it, 'cause it's going to be empty." -Clint Smith
On your list, the G23, not on your list, either a G19 or a S&W M&P 9mm.
We just got an XD9SC (I guess for the holidays). The performance of our 45 service made it easy to choose another XD. The 9 ammo is still cheap and 10+1 is not a joke.
Honestly any of your choices are great firearms.
I had the Glock 23 - sold it. Purchased a Glock 27. I like the 27, but to be honest I long for the 23 again. By the time I added mag extensions for extra capacity - I was back at a 23 grip size - or close. Since the grip is the hardest thing to conceal - I should have just kept my 23. The 27 shoots just as well as the 23. You really won't go wrong with either a 23 or a 27. In my area, the Glock wins on price too!
Well it looks like XD will win.. so now my next question is should i go with the SUB- compact or the compact.... but it will be a .40 i think. This will also be for range and some times my CW.
I can't vote for the listed choices as I scarcely know much about them.
My small framed wife favors my original WWI Colt 1911 above all other handguns. She shoots it well and is confident in its dependability and it's .45 cartridge. She occasionally totes a S&W Model 642 but fusses about it when she does.

I am hoping to use word 2007 to make a table with the first columm of numbers in numerical order, but starting from, say, 60400 to 60450...so basically 50 numbers, but not starting from #1.
Does that make sense??
I need to use the numbers that are on the stickers that i use for work, so they never start from 1, but always a weird sequence of numbers.

This is a rant I had over at Motor Trend's forums, and I thought I'd also share and get some input from a forum I frequent about as often as I do a bar (that is to say, very infrequently). That way i can get your takes on it, as many of you don't really know me or my style, thus your having a more fresh perspective. Here' goes:It bugs me that when all the old guys with their Americana classics like shiny El Camino's and Model A's (and those posing PT Cruisers with murals and neon lights underneath) have their get-togethers, and always ignore me. So what if I drive an import? Those PT Cruisers have Japanese based (Mitsubishi) engines and were made during the Daimler reign of Chrysler, making it semi-German. You wanna talk screwed up?I'm taking interest in your old tales of nostalgia and appreciating the beauty of your cars, only to feel like an outcast because my Japanese car (which takes classic American cues like the beauty rings and white letters* of their era). Vehicular appreciation can be shared outside of cliques, and these guys always seem ready to be just as big of jerks as the youngin's that own up to their stereotype of ignorance and disrespect of the classics, and their seasoned drivers.Everyone who is really honestly into cars has some sort of respect for the others. Every generation is different, but not too much. Back in the '50's and '60's, guess who invented street and drag racing. NASCAR was started through rum- and moonshine-running. So tell me again, why do they have this sense that their time was somehow more noble and respectful? I'm an old soul, and recognize that historically people are generally the same now as they were before, just with a few new toys.So the main question here: What are the shows and get-togethers you see most often in your area? Do they ever meld the different tastes together in one show?As Source Interlink-- Automobile's parent company-- would prove, there's a butt-load of different enthusiasts. And we all know that. But why can't local shows try and combine them a little more? I think some shows are a wider base and corporately backed (Pep Boys and SEMA come to mind), so they encompass more of these types in one area. I just wish it were more accepted that there are different types of enthusiasts. In my area we have festivals, and usually it's only classics and nothing more. I'm willing to bet those festivals would benefit from expanding what they have on display. The same might be said for many of your areas.*Just some idea's of my car, and the subtle (somewhat redneck) tweaks she has.If you can't spot a few of the changes, the B-pillars were shaved of the peeling accent stickers, the bottom plastic of the front bumper (and the rear valence) were painted black as opposed to stock gray, the Toyota badge under the rear drivers-side tail light was moved to the front grill, I have 14" beauty rings from our '87 Ranger mounted on the stock steelies (white letters were put on by hand), and the tail-light housings (not the lenses) were painted mostly black, with silver accents to give back some nice contrast and brightness back for safety. The difference can be seen next to the white Echo. So yeah, mostly just cheap personalizations, but it's my own. It's not likely to be shown at a car show as a beauty queen, but maybe as a quirky cult car that never gets love, and takes an owner who actually wants to show that anything, no matter what, has a few fans. Because that's what car shows should be about: the owners relationship with their car. Without the owner loving their car, the car has no personality-- no soul.

Lively bunch. Not many enthusiasts here, huh?
----------When life throws you a curve, downshift and take it vigorously.Pheobe's@478,000-ish miles. (RIP original engine 475k)Youtube
Harvey, it's just that traffic is light here. I only wish I could say the same for city I live in too. Otherwise, it beats me why there isn't more posters here? I've always liked Automobile Magazine and have read it since the very first MR2 vs Fiero issue. So much for both of those cars and Pontiac too I was surprised when GM gave Pontiac the ax. I sure could understand why Olds is no longer and Saturn to a certain extent too.
Maybe it's because there's such a round-about way to get here. Click "Community" and then there's a tiny little forum button way up top.For the whole shows thing, I understand it's just the different mentalities and everything. But sometimes there's just something that needs to be done. The PT's got me upset, and then I went to another show up in Sacramento last weekend-- muscle, classics, and then two Smart Convertibles. So I walked over to the officer on the eastern side and said "Ya know, if they can have a couple smart cars, I can have my Echo. She's got 447,000 miles on her and has some little personable tweaks." So regardless of being a little dirty and grimy, I he let her in (somewhat apprehensively), but there she stayed for four hours. There were a few jokes, but nothing too bad. I went in expecting far worse, and some of the owners were cooler. Maybe because I showed guts in sneaking it in there.Guys over at Car & Driver's forums ("Backfires") were equally polarized as some of the Motor Trend guys. Some are die-hard Americana guys, or classics. I just feel that there should be some more spice for those who want it. There were a couple stops by the Echo, and some enough noticed the miles I have written up on top of the windshield. Others were digging the Smarts. Boats float different ways-- but give them the option. Mine needs some more work, but there were others there in the same way. Car shows should be about getting together and sharing stories, dreams, and the little details you've put into the car.What's more, buying a brand-new Challenger or Camaro shouldn't count, either. My car is at least out of production and has been through plenty of hell of it's own. Not some under-warranty retro-mobile. But again, I may be a little biased
----------When life throws you a curve, downshift and take it vigorously.Pheobe's@478,000-ish miles. (RIP original engine 475k)Youtube
My only beef about the shows I go to is as much as I like what I see there, it's always the same type of cars. Can't say I see somebody showing of their Messerschmitt there, even though I have spotted them on the streets. I don't want to get too stereotypical here by naming what I usually see there, I'd just like to see something different. As for the people showing them off, they don't bother me. Long ago my grandfather did the same thing too. He stuck with the antiques such as 1908 Buick, etc. and loved his rides.By the way Harvey I find your choice for your avatar very interesting and quite original too.
Oh, yeah that. At Motor Trend I was making "lines" that would start with a couple... a shoulder and roof. Then it'd work it's way until someone guessed what it was. That's my set for Pheobe. We did everything from Camry's and Sedona's, to obscure exotics. It was inspired by the way Infiniti did their ads.So it'd start sorta like this:And when it was guessed, we'd show the full lines, and then the photo we used to draw them.The purpose was to take the mundane and bring out what the designers put into them. For the Paseo, who knew it had so much. The lines really do cut through the lights like that. Same with the Echo.All the little creases come out, and you can see how they line up in the op pictures.And until a couple nights ago, I never noticed how the hood and front fascia of my dads Sonata Limited line up so well. Very complementary (I'd just washed it).I could go on so much about car lines-- we did hundreds of sets.
----------When life throws you a curve, downshift and take it vigorously.Pheobe's@478,000-ish miles. (RIP original engine 475k)Youtube
It's tough to guess a lot of cars if you just go by the lines. Most SUV's, pickups and a lot of mainstream vehicles made today would stump me. The Echo is easier to spot though, thanks to its awkward stance. I can understand why Toyota gave the Echo the axe after only 1 generation. The looks on its replacement, which I believe is the Prius, since they did make a Prius out of the Echo, are nothing to look at either. Although the Echo look was traded for a safe dull look. It's not often but sometimes Toyota makes some awkward looking cars:
Actually the Prius and Echo are very different. The chassis had a couple similarities, and they both have 1.5L engines (but again, some differences), they aren't the same vehicle or class. The Yaris was the Echo successor, just as the Echo was the Tercel successor. I still can't quite get into the 2003-'05 Echo, or most Yarii. Just not the same.And then there's the newest Yaris (the SE), which finally adds actual suspension and interior performance tweaks.^Three generations

Cool Echo Harvey! I have a similar '02 echo sedan in Blue. I love the car, and it has been very reliable. Gotta love those echos!
It's not likely to be shown at a car show as a beauty queen, but maybe as a quirky cult car that never gets love, and takes an owner who actually wants to show that anything, no matter what, has a few fans. ?
I've owned a couple of Toyotas, and they were great cars. Problem is, most are considered to be appliances by both the drivers and the company. When was the last time that Toyota really came out with an enthusiast's car? MR2? Celica? Supra? Now they have a joint-venture car with Subaru, but they've lately become the Japanese version of a 90s Buick. As for the Echo, I think a few things might need to be done to draw interest on yours. Some nice rims (sorry, but steelies work best on old trucks) would really help. I like the color, but maybe some custom paint- stripes, scallops or pinstripes might work. I'd go with something tasteful that actually lengthens the look of the car. Tinted windows (a must in South Florida) would really look great. As for the interior, custom seats or a modified dash might help. Your Echo stands out mainly for its advanced mileage, but other than that, it doesn't look much different than the rest of the parking lot. The steelies actually kind of look like spares, and I think slightly wider blackwalls would work better. Maybe they don't give your car respect because they don't see much effort beyond basic upkeep. Clean is HUGE at any car show. When you wash the car, get into the wheel wells and shine up the dash and rims. A fresh coat of wax always stands out. I even armor all the insides of the wheel wells and the rubber splash guards. Get into cleaning the engine bay, and shining it up as well. Just keeping it REAL clean EVERYWHERE goes a long way at a show. A dirty car gets no respect unless it's a Rat Rod. Yo also asked about our areas. They have lots of VW shows in Florida, some with hundreds of cars. As for Japanese machinery, they have lots of tricked out Civics and Mitsubishis too. They tend to be lowered with wide tires and big spoilers and coffee can exhuast pipes. Exotics are big down here for those that can afford it, and Corvettes are as common as Camrys (my friend has a black Z06). They even rent the expensive stuff here. Ferraris and Lambos rent for $1500 a day and up, and I even rented a Mercedes CLK430 for my wedding in 2001 to cruise South Beach with the top down after the reception. As for foriegn cars, I prefer sporty cars. Miatas are one of my favorites, and I still wish I never had to sell mine (family). That said, I'll have another one day. I do like old Benzes and Bimmers, but can't imagine the upkeep. I also like older Porsches. One of the best looking cars I've ever owned was a VW Karmann Ghia. I've also had a few Beetles. If you've got relatively recent machinery that was marketed as merely transportation, you need to make it stand out to be noticed. Otherwise, it's just an appliance to the car guys.
I do not have one because it takes big bucks to buy the kit! Ya, I most likely could afford it if I really wanted it--same reason I do not have a Corvette--not willing to spend the big bucks to get it.
The Yaris is actually a common tazi in Peru. Much roomier than most down there, especially the Daewoo Ticos. Plenty of customized ones down there; much of it homemade.
The Echo hasn't been out long enough. Its not attractive enough too most car show people to attract positive attention. Look at the Echo in line at a car show objectively. Its about as interesting to me as the Smart Car though. It looks to be well cared for which people who like cars would respect. It would be more notable at a fuel economy themed/e friendly type show. At a conventional classic car show its like trying to belong when it doesn't. Its unique but just too ordinary and cute withough being a real looker.
Harvey, it's because your car isn't the "normal" enthusiast car. I can see why you are enthusiastic about it because that car is HOTT, but don't let those old guys and their El Caminos get ya down!

Police were today investigating a sign telling pet owners to stay out of an east London park because "Muslims do not like dogs".
The warning, in Bartlett Park, Poplar, said: "Do not walk your dog here! Muslims do not like dogs. This is an Islamic area now."
It was today branded "unacceptable" and "provocative" by an MP who called in police after being alerted to the sign by a concerned dog walker.
Labour's Jim Fitzpatrick called on police to find out if it was put up by "religious zealots" or a far-right group such as the English Defence League (EDL).
"The question is whether it was put up to be provocative or by religious zealots to be racist," the Poplar and Limehouse MP told the Standard.
"It's another facet of intolerance, or, because there's no guarantee it was done by Islamists, it could be those in society who are trying to polarise and divide us."
He added: "Whichever side it was ought not to be able to get away with it and whoever's responsible ought to pack it in."
Police have removed the signs and stepped up the presence of officers in the area after being alerted to them by Mr Fitzpatrick yesterday.
Tower Hamlets Borough Commander Dave Stringer said: "Bartlett Park does not have any history of community tension; however we are investigating the posting of these signs and conducting additional patrols to ensure that community reassurance and confidence are maintained in the area. At this time we retain an open mind concerning the motive behind the putting up of these signs."
He added: "We will continue to work with our borough partners to ensure that Tower Hamlets remains a safe and secure place to live work and raise families."
A Tower Hamlets council spokesman said the poster was "alarming and divisive".
"We have been alerted to a fly-poster stuck on a sign post near Bartlett Park, E14. We have removed it and are liaising with the police to investigate this alarming and divisive poster.
"The council actively promotes the No Place for Hate campaign whereby people of different faiths, cultures, lifestyles and backgrounds live in harmony. This means we support community cohesion and would not want the actions of any individual or small group to impact on this."
