So...like I thought...as soon as I took out NuvaRing and put new one right in...spotting got heavier...completely random. Always gotta wear pads. I've had a pain in my right side for the past 4 days..not sure if it's from the bowel changes...or fibroids growing...or what. But tonight I started bleeding again...soaking thru super jumbo tampon in an hour. I called dr...appt scheduled 12/17...will let him know abt everything so we should be able to schedule surgery abt 30 days on the future.
The only reason I'm kind of glad this happened because now I know I made the right decision. Hysterectomy is my only real option. I won't stop bleeding even with the 2 kinds of birth control I'm on that are each supposed to stop bleeding.
And...I was right...dr was sure bleeding would stop after my body healed from surgery. I was sure it would.
Back on Cones,so now my routine is,wash with Deva No-Poo every other day or so. Occasionally use 365 sulfate free,maybe use low sulfate shampoo mixed with conditioner once every two weeks are longer. I condition with Aussie Moist or HEHH. I style with a little GF TN,and finish up with tons of GN Pure Clean Smoothing Cream. No frizz...slippy, happy hair.

Luxury fashion retailer Net-a-Porter has ranked #1 for the first time ever in StellaService's monthly Benchmark ranking of retail customer service performance, knocking last month's leader, J.Crew, out of first place for the month of February.
Net-a-Porter topped all retailers in shipping and returns, ousting CasualMale.com for the top spot in returns performance due to its high marks for speed and efficiency. The retailer's high quality packaging helped edge competitors. J.Crew, Zara, Abercrombie and Shopbop round out of the top five for returns, while Zappos, American Eagle HauteLook and Gap also placed in the top five for shipping.
This month lululemon and HSN joined the list of the overall top 10 performers.
Five additional retailers repeated their top 10 performance - J.Crew, L.L.Bean and Zappos, Kate Spade and Ralph Lauren.
Competition was tight in the Phone channel, but Zappos.com edged other apparel/accessories retailers with slightly higher issue resolution. Zappos.com last appeared in the top 5 in September.
Modcloth.com captured the top spot in email with the best issue resolution in the category. The retailer's email performance has steadily improved in recent months.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
I've had trouble getting my puppies to walk away from my house on leash too. So instead, I just use my yard for the poops and peeps.
But for EXERCISE I pack them up at least every other day and we DRIVE to some new place. A friends house. Large field. Area we can hike.
Seems like when in a new place and now house security that they don't want to leave, instead I am the 'safe place' and they love going where I go so there's no issue and a real walk/run happens.
concerned about my puppy 12 weeks
I purchased a puppy from a breeder in VA. He is now 12 weeks old and has been with us three weeks. He is my first German Shepherd as I have always had Akitas growing up and we have one rescue retriever who is 11. My concern is the puppy seems traumatized he does not like to leave the house to even go for a walk unless I bring my 11 year old dog with him. If I leave her he basically refuses to walk if I manage to get him to go he pulls trying to get back to the house. Even with her he acts very unsure but it is manageable. Taking him anywhere like pet smart he fights to get out of the door wants nothing to do with other puppies and in training class he tries to hide under my legs. He also does not want to be approached by strangers he will attempt to hide under my feet as well.

In an unusual move for a company that is notoriously secretive when it comes to revealing details about its supply chain, Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) recently touted its substantial investment in U.S.-based suppliers over the past year. Apple's U.S. supply chain disclosure came on the heels of the company's decision to join President Obama's recently announced "SupplierPay" initiative. Soon after the White House's announcement, Apple revealed how much money it already spends on U.S.-based suppliers in a statement given to TechCrunch. "Last year, Apple spent more than $3 billion with over 7,000 suppliers running small and diverse businesses, creating tens of thousands of U.S. jobs," said Apple.
As noted in a statement released by the White House, SupplierPay is the private sector equivalent of the Federal Government's QuickPay initiative. Like QuickPay, SupplierPay seeks to lower the working capital cost of small business suppliers by having large businesses like Apple pay small suppliers quickly. The initiative also encourages companies to enable financing solutions to help small suppliers access working capital at a lower cost. Apple, AT&T (NYSE:T), Coca-Cola (NYSE:KO), IBM (NYSE:IBM), and Toyota (NYSE:TM) were among the first twenty-six companies to adopt the SupplierPay pledge.
"For the larger companies, joining SupplierPay demonstrates a recognition that a healthy supply chain is good for business," noted the White House in a press release. "For the small business suppliers, benefiting from SupplierPay means having more capital to invest in new opportunities, new equipment, and new hiring."
Besides announcing the new SupplierPay initiative, the White House also highlighted several case studies of companies that have contributed to the growth of small suppliers in the U.S. One of the case studies highlighted by the White House was Apple's relationship with Metal Impact, a small supplier based in Illinois. Metal Impact gets millions of dollars in revenue by supplying the Mac Pro's cylindrical aluminum enclosure. As seen in the video above, Apple's Mac Pro is assembled in a facility in Austin, Texas.

I received an email today from JPG Magazine. for those of you who don't know JPG is "…a community connected by a love of photography" it allows you to "share your pictures and stories and discover interesting photos by people like you! JPG is your view of the world around us". On the face of it JPG has little that differentiates it from other photography based sites such as Flickr for example. But, it's USP is that the best photos (and stories) uploaded by its community are published in a printed magazine 6 times a year.
I love websites that successfully marry on and offline in this way, I always feel the sense of community is heightened because of it. Whether its simply Facebook giving you the ability to arrange your own events, Moo connecting with Flickr to give your photos physicality (with the help of Little Moo of course) or even to a lesser extent flash mobbing, created to "poke fun at hipsters and to highlight the cultural atmosphere of conformity".
Unfortunately the email I received this morning delivered bad news. After only 2 years JPG is having to shut up shop. The reason given sadly reflects most closures these days in that the team behind JPG, 8020 Media, "weren't able to raise the money needed to keep JPG alive in these extraordinary economic times."
I'm embarrassed to say that however much I loved the idea of JPG I never managed to submit any photos myself, this is partly down to me placing too many things in the 'I must get round to that one day' pile and partly due to the fact that I'm a truly rotten photographer!
I feel really sorry for all the people associated with JPG, and especially the 200,000 strong community of content providers/magazine subscribers. I also wonder what this means for 8020 when according to their website JPG represented 50% of their publications.
This mornings news, along with a conversation with a close friend on New Years Eve about the situation at Free Radical which saw 140 employees laid off the week before Christmas was a cold reminder of the unfortunate and sudden demise of Deepend back in 2001. At the time it represented a small part of the 'dot com bubble' but on a more personal level a turning point in my life.
It also made me think about the relatively recent events at Carsonified which saw 3 members of the 'family' (representing 23% at the time) laid off and the subsequent debates that opened up around Ryan Carson openly blogging about it. Whatever your opinions maybe of those particular events unless you've been in the position of being made redundant you can't fully appreciate the situation.
Although the news about JPG is simply a site closure and doesn't, for the time being, represent any redundancies that I'm aware of I thought the way in which it was handled was good. The email was open and honest about the situation, explaining that all efforts were made to continue the service but that they were unsuccessful. It was short and to the point but most importantly put the emphasis on the community who are for the time being the ones losing out.
A lot can be learnt from the simplicity of this message in the current climate. With the power of multiple communication channels, such as Twitter, news can be spread instantly and to a large number of people but the content delivered needs to be considered, not only the content of the message, its focus and intended audience but the context of it in relation to other messages. The handling of the Carsonified redundancies is a perfect example of this, the comments that appeared on their blog, along with the conversations flying around the twitterverse showed how passionately everyone felt about it. Every aspect of the situation was under scrutiny, from the focus of the message to previous blog posts and even down to the financial implications of management/employee benefits.
Anyway, that's enough rambling for now. Well done if you managed to read this far! If you have any comments on this post please feel free to contribute below. For those of you who might be interested here's the JPG email:
"Today is a particularly sad day for all of us at JPG and 8020 Media.
We've spent the last few months trying to make the business behind JPG sustain itself, and we've reached the end of the line. We all deeply believe in everything JPG represents, but we just weren't able to raise the money needed to keep JPG alive in these extraordinary economic times. We sought out buyers, spoke with numerous potential investors, and pitched several last-ditch creative efforts, all without success. As a result, jpgmag.com will shut down on Monday, January 5, 2009.
The one thing we've been the most proud of: your amazing talent. We feel honored and humbled to have been able to share jpgmag.com with such a dynamic, warm, and wonderful community of nearly 200,000 photographers. The photography on the website and in the magazine was adored by many, leaving no doubt that this community created work of the highest caliber. The kindness, generosity, and support shared among members made it a community in the truest sense of the word, and one that we have loved being a part of for these past two years.
We wish we could have found a way to leave the site running for the benefit of the amazing folks who have made JPG what it is, and we have spent sleepless nights trying to figure something out, all to no avail.
We're soggy-eyed messes, but it is what it is. At that, JPGers, we bid you goodbye, and good luck in 2009 and the future."
I just found this posted on the JPG blog too:

Have you given much thought to your blog anniversary this year? Some don't celebrate the passing starting dates of their blogs, but for many, blog anniversary celebrations are getting bigger and wilder every year.
Some have hosted huge contests with a lot of giveaways. Many review their previous year with lessons learned and goals set for the next blogging year. Others have gone quietly into their second and third years of blogging with a post reminiscing about the year that has past.

I'm not a tech by any means but i've been in there a few times.
Injectors are pretty easy to get to. Driver side will require pulling the degas bottle and ficm, passenger side will not require much more than just pulling the valve cover. You can probably get away without replacing the cover gaskets.
You do have to be extremely careful with the seals with the injector R&R and should probably replace the standpipes and dummy plugs if they have not been replaced before, the newer ones have a teflon o ring to help keep them from leaking. I'm sure others can chime in with the real technical details.
Are you sure the injectors themselves are bad. Low voltages can cause a lot of issues. If in fact the injectors are bad you will want to check voltage so that you don't cause the same issues again.
I am encouraging the customer to let me diagnose it so I can fix the problem verses whipping multi-thousands of dollars at it and crossing my fingers.
As far as voltage at the injectors, how should I check them? DVOM or is an ocilliscope required?

For the third consecutive year, Carolinas HealthCare System is participating in the national Partnership for Patients' Hospital Engagement Network (HEN). Selected by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), the System is one of five health systems and 26 healthcare organizations in the country invited to join.
Since the program's inception in 2011, the organization has enhanced the way it delivers safe, value-based care in 10 focus areas, with an emphasis on reducing preventable patient harm by 40 percent and 30-day hospital readmissions by 20 percent by end of 2014.
In several of these key areas, the System has already surpassed the 40 percent goal and is exceeding national benchmarks.
For early elective deliveries, our System's HEN performance from January 2012 to November 2013 reflects a 72 percent reduction relative to its 2011 baseline, and its current performance exceeds the CMS national benchmark. For surgical site infections, our performance during the same time period saw a 61 percent reduction relative to a 2010 baseline.
"Our 29 participating hospitals have gone above and beyond reaching quality and safety goals, and their successes are helping other hospitals and health systems in the national HEN to adopt best practice solutions," said Roger Ray, MD, MBA, FACPE, executive vice president and chief medical officer for the System. "The infrastructure Carolinas HealthCare System has developed as part of the basic HEN program is helping in the pursuit of these critical goals."
In 2014, the national HEN expanded its focus to include four additional areas: OB hemorrhage, preeclampsia treatment, opioid safety and efforts to reduce all surgical site infections. Carolinas HealthCare System's HEN added one more priority focus area – efforts to reduce C-section rates – for a total of 14 areas it is now tracking.
The System uses an analytics-driven structure to collect, track and monitor hospital quality data and operational systems to support the design, implementation and evaluation of ongoing improvement projects in its hospitals. It has created new initiatives and positions in critical areas, such as medication safety and infection prevention, and has made progress toward a single unified enterprise by collaborating, sharing best practices and standardizing processes, tools and data collection.
Due to its outstanding clinical performance to date, Carolinas HealthCare System was one of only six healthcare organizations and one of only two health systems in the national HEN to receive the Leading Edge Advanced Practice Topics (LEAPT) award. It allows the System to enhance and improve patient safety and outcomes in five additional areas. Nine of the System's 42 hospitals are participating in at least one LEAPT advanced harm area.
When the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) asked the national Partnership for Patients' Hospital Engagement Network (HEN) to spotlight hospitals achieving extraordinary results, Cleveland Regional Medical Center in Shelby responded.
Cindy Proctor, RN, BSN, MBA, director of quality management, shared nationally how Carolinas HealthCare System Cleveland is achieving significant results in improving patient safety and quality. She told the hospital's story at the annual Quality Net Conference with its theme, A More Perfect Union: Better Health. Better Health Care. Lower Costs. Carolinas HealthCare System Cleveland was invited to present as part of the Carolinas HealthCare System HEN.
Proctor's presentation showed how Carolinas HealthCare System Cleveland is improving Hospital Acquired Condition (HAC) rates based on a scale showing "progress," being "at target" or achieving "ideal" improvement status. Of the 10 HAC rates being targeted for improvement, the hospital has achieved ideal status on five of them, is at target on one and is making progress on the remaining four.
This success is attributed to Carolinas HealthCare System Cleveland's interdisciplinary team, pilot projects, leadership/physician engagement and scope of projects throughout the continuum of care. "We are committed to taking full advantage of each opportunity to reduce a patient's risk for harm," Proctor said.
The timing of the presentation on improving Hospital Acquired Condition rates was no accident. Members of the System's HEN have powerful stories of successes in reducing the risks of patient harm, and these stories will be used to energize a new national Patient and Family Engagement Campaign.

PLAYA VISTA – Chauncey Billups spent last season's dramatic playoff series against the Memphis Grizzlies sitting on next to the coaching staff in a suit.
His rehabilitation and recovery from a torn left Achilles tendon was about two months underway and it would be another eight before he was back on the court.
"I'm just excited to be out there and not have to watch, sitting in a suit," Billups said after Friday's practice. "It's great for me. Obviously, I felt like I could help the team last year in the playoffs and this year I'll have that opportunity. So, I'm just excited, really, to be back at it."
After playing in 22 games this year due to a variety of ailments, including returning Tuesday from an eight-game absence with a strained right groin, Billups says he's feeling healthy heading into Saturday's Game 1 of what's expected to be a lengthy first-round playoff series.
"I'm good," Billups said. "I'm fine. I'm ready to go.
"I really would have liked to play the last four weeks. But I'm excited just to be back out here. Just to be playing. However, I can help the team I will. Whatever they need me to do, I will. I think that a lot of my experiences can help."
The experiences helped last year, but Billups can obviously help more on the court. His return to the lineup as well as a valuable bench led by Jamal Crawford and Matt Barnes are some of the reasons Chris Paul thinks the 2013 playoff entry for the Clippers is better than a year ago.
"I definitely think we're better," Paul said. "We're a lot healthier than we were last season because last season was such a rigorous season. And it's great to have Chauncey back."
The 2004 Finals MVP scored 17 points in Wednesday's regular-season finale, including going 3-for-6 from 3-point range and making four free throws down the stretch to ice the game in Sacramento. Both Paul and Billups said it was nice to get back into a rhythm together before the lights go on Saturday, but at the same time Billups could handle being thrust into the lineup at any time.
In fact, it's something he's had to do most of this season. He missed the first 14 games while rehabbing from the Achilles injury, played in three, missed 34 (foot), played in two, missed one (back), played 13 more, missed three (groin), played 13 minutes in the next game and sat out eight more before returning this week.
He missed 60 games in all, but still, Paul says, "Chauncey is one of those guys whether he's in the game or out of the game, once he comes back it's like he never left."
Moving forward in the playoffs, Clippers head coach Vinny Del Negro will continue to monitor Billups.
"He'll be limited," Del Negro said. "Somewhere in the 20s [minutes], I don't know where exactly yet. We'll make that decision tomorrow. He felt good after back-to-back games and practiced today, no setbacks."
Blake Griffin experienced back spasms in Wednesday's game against the Kings, but practiced Friday.
"Blake's back tightened up a little bit but he feels better," Del Negro said. "He practiced today. He's feeling better which is good."
Griffin made two key baskets down the stretch of the win in Sacramento, playing through visible pain. But said he's feeling "better."
"It's alright," Griffin said. "I got a lot of work on it yesterday and I'm about to go right now to get it worked on. It should be fine."
"It's still a little tender, I guess, for lack of a better word, but not bad. It's not as bad as the other night."
Last season, the three-time All-Star was bothered by a hyper-flexed knee and various other ailments in the postseason, but when asked how this injury compared to the way he was feeling in 2012, he said it's not much of a comparison at all.
"This isn't really comparable to last year," Griffin said. "To be honest, last year was year was a lot different, so I'm just happy to be mostly healthy going into this playoff run."

I was doing my periodic check of experienced triathlon coach Joe Friel's blog today and noticed that his most recent post contained a huge amount of information with regards to tapering and peaking for events. Click on the link below to be taken to his page, then settle back with a cuppa. Read and absorb.
I was asked twice this week how I taper athletes for their A-priority races, once by an athlete and also by a coach. I told them that I would write about it in my blog, but later realized I had already done so several times. So rather than do it all over again I'll just provide the links to four posts on the topic. I'll also summarize each so you can pick out the one that best matches your interests, should you want to read about it (click on the title to go to the post).
via Joe Friel – Tapering and Peaking Review.
If you wondered who Joe Friel was then you will find several of his very useful books on training for triathletes in any bookshop. I have provided links below to the books of his that I own and read. but in his own words, from here:
Joe Friel has trained endurance athletes since 1980. His clients are elite amateur and professional road cyclists, mountain bikers, triathletes, and duathletes. They come from all corners of the globe and include American and foreign national champions, world championship competitors, and an Olympian.
He is the author of ten books on training for endurance athletes including the popular and best-selling Training Bible book series. He holds a masters degree in exercise science, is a USA Triathlon and USA Cycling certified Elite-level coach, and is a founder and past Chairman of the USA Triathlon National Coaching Commission.

Blake Shelton and Christina Aguilera sent two singers packing on Monday night after "The Voice's" first-ever instant elimination round.
Access Hollywood caught up with Jordis Unga (Team Blake) and Jesse Campbell (Team Christina) after the show, where they weighed in on their shocking exit from the series.
PLAY IT NOW: Jordis Unga & Jesse Campbell Eliminated From 'The Voice'
"It's a bummer," Jordis - who sang Sara Evans' "A Little Bit Stronger," told Access. "It stings a little to be sent home by my coach."
Jordis - whose performance Blake called "perfect" - said she understands why there was a quarterfinals twist.

"I don't think it's a fairness thing. I'll never think about it that way. It's a TV show... I get it," she continued.
Jesse, who belted out Beyonce's "Halo" and who coach Adam Levine said was a "huge, huge favorite" to win the competition, agreed with his fellow eliminated contestant.
"They have high ratings for a reason...so I just respect that," he told Access, explaining that he's grown a great deal since first appearing on the NBC series. "This is just one wave that's going to go right into the next wave and we'll just move onward, upward and just continue to believe that I can [succeed] and will continue to live my dream."

Adding, "This was such a wonderful opportunity... I see it as an opportunity for more opportunities."
Jordis echoed Jesse's sentiments, saying, "I feel like I've been set up for success...it's going to be hard work, but something good's got to come out of this"

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|painted jester
|Yes. I never figured that the manifolds could warp while on the engine. They weren't binding when I took them off. The engine had been seriously abused in the past, so the warped manifolds were just another indication of it. Considered trying bend the right one out to where could get a bolt started, but don't know where to try to correct it in relation to the center ports. Think probably between the center and forward ports, as rear and center flanges bolted up (a little tight, but didn't cross-thread), and with my luck.. . Anyway, a quick trip over to the U-pull auto parts store and warehouse corrected the problem and I found a bunch of other stuff I need. I just thought maybe someone would have a quick and easy (or magic) fix, but there I go trying to think all by myself again. Thank you all for the input, and on we go to the next puzzling development for a highschool dropout trying to reengineer a machine that took hundreds of college trained automotive engineers to design and build. : )
I'd say to make one using a heavy turnbuckle, but it might cost as much as the whole tool!
Look the manifolds over carefully. It's not at all unusual for them to have hairline cracks. Finding replacements shouldn't be a problem unless they're, well, a problem!
OEM Chevy exh. manifolds
The spreader will work good on some manifolds:
Not as good on some:
And not at all on others:
Lisle p/n 13000:
Good luck.
|Thank you painted jester. That makes perfect sense. This engine obviously been overheated, probably more than once. Pulled the engine out of 94 P/U I got real cheap, and found the engine to be so bad, I couldn't even use the original block. So, new block, crankshaft kit, other stuff to convert from tbi to carburetor. Should have just bought a rebuild. Would have cost less. Am surprised the heads aren't broken (and maybe they are, and I just don't know it yet). Thanks again for the tip. Am thankful the cylinder heads aren't growing. : )
|painted jester
At my shop I had an exhaust manifold stretcher I think you can buy them still ! Your manifold didn't shrink it warped and its common! Usually the studs brake or come out very tight when removing the manifolds because they were warped while on the engine Before tear down, and it isn't noticed by people till its assembly time! You should have them machined flat too sometimes there is a twist with the warp that wont let them seal!
My tool is a "Lyle 31000" exhaust manifold spreader
Shrunken SBC Exhaust Manifolds
This isn't the first time, so I know I'm not the only one to run into SBC 350 exhaust manifolds shrinking. Same manifolds, same heads, same sides, but the holes don't line up now. Engine has been out since early summer. Will they shrink more the longer I leave them off? Left side went on after it learned some new words, but right side doesn't even look like it will listen. Have tried my six-pound coaxing wrench, but it be cast iron so got the result I expected: zip. I don't think the gas wrench will help any, either. Cold when took em off, cold putting them back on, and again, cast iron. Maybe the heads grew, but that's scary. Think last time ran into this, had to use different manifolds, but that was long time ago and had plenty around to try to fit then and don't think even used manifolds off 350, might have come off 400. Does anyone know the cure ? Thank you.

ZURICH -(Dow Jones)- Zurich Insurance Group AG (ZURN.VX) has contingency plans in place should Greece end up leaving the euro zone, Chief Financial Officer Pierre Wauthier said Thursday, adding that the insurer has almost no Greek investments left in its portfolio.
Speaking to reporters on a conference call to detail earnings, Wauthier said the company is looking at different scenarios as part of its risk-management processes.
Zurich's exposure to Spain and Italy remained relatively stable during the first quarter and was limited, he said.
Zurich Insurance has a total of $69 billion invested in government and government related bonds. About $4 billion is held in Spanish bonds and about $6 billion in Italian bonds. The Greek exposure amounts to about $6 million, Wauthier said.

Chocolate-Pistachio Marzipan Spirals
Lora Brody, friend and author of Cooking with Memories, developed these spirals from two recipes in The Cake Bible: pistachio marzipan and ganache. It was my fondest hope that people would use my recipes to create their own specialties in this way, and I am delighted to report that the silky-rich chocolate ganache, rolled together with chewy pistachio marzipan, is a combination that tastes every bit as good as it looks. Thank you, Lora. These candies are terrific to have on hand to serve with espresso to friends who drop in with holiday gifts and wishes.
Pistachio Marzipan
|shelled unsalted pistachio nuts
|1/4 cup
|1.25 ounces
|38 grams
|powdered sugar
|3/4 cup (lightly spooned into the cup)
|3 ounces
|86 grams
|corn syrup
|1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon
|1 ounce
|27 grams
|glycerine or light vegetable oil (not peanut oil)
|1/2 teaspoon
|3 grams
|Optional: a dab of green paste food coloring or a few drops of liquid green food coloring
|bittersweet or semisweet chocolate
|1 (3-ounce) bar
|3 ounces
|85 grams
|heavy cream
|3 tablespoons
|1.5 ounces
|44 grams
|corn syrup
|1/2 teaspoon
|3.5 grams
|shelled, unsalted pistachio nuts, chopped medium coarsely
|3 tablespoons
|1 ounce
|28 grams
|1 large egg white, lightly beaten
|2 tablespoons
|2 ounces
|30 grams
Equipment: rolling pin; plastic wrap (preferably Saran Wrap).
Pistachio Marzipan
If your pistachio nuts are salted, rinse them in a strainer under hot tap water. Place the pistachios on a cookie sheet in a 325 degree Fahrenheit oven for 5 to 10 minutes or until the skins separate from the nuts when scratched lightly with a fingernail. With a large spoon, transfer the nuts to a clean kitchen towel and wrap them with the towel. Allow them to sit for a few minutes. Use the towel to rub off as much peel as possible. Cool to room temperature.
In a food processor with the metal blade, process the nuts until a smooth paste forms. Add the sugar and process until it is well mixed. Add the corn syrup and glycerine and process about 20 seconds or until well blended. The mixture will appear dry, but a small amount pressed between your fingers should hold together. If it seems too dry, add more corn syrup, 1/4 teaspoon at a time, with the motor running. If you wish to deepen the color, add the optional food coloring. Process until the marzipan has a smooth, doughlike consistency. Knead it breifly by hand until the color is uniform.
The marzipan can be used at once, but it is much easier to work with if it is allowed to rest overnight at room temperature, tightly covered with plastic wrap.
Break the chocolate into pieces and chop it finely, or process it in a food processor with the metal blade until finely chopped.
In a small saucepan, heat the cream and corn syrup to a full boil. Remove the saucepan from the heat, immediately add the chocolate, and cover the pan. Allow it to sit for 1 to 2 minutes to melt the chocolate. Then stir the mixture until it is smooth and uniform in color. Cool to room temperature. (To speed cooling, you can transfer the ganache to a bowl.)
While the ganache is cooling, roll the marzipan between 2 sheets of plastic wrap into a 12-inch by 6-inch by one-sixteenth inch rectangle.
When the ganache is at room temperature, remove the top sheet of plastic wrap covering the mazipan and spread the ganache on top, leaving one-quarter inch bare along 1 long edge. (An angled metal spatula works well to spread the ganache.) Using the bottom sheet of plastic wrap, slip the marzipan onto a cookie sheet. Refrigerate until the chocolate dulls and is barely tacky to the touch (about 10 minutes).
Use your fingers to roll the marzipan. Start with the long end that is covered with ganache. Roll it about one-quarter inch and press down on top of it to make it adhere tightly. Continue rolling until you have reached the other end. If a little ganache squishes out, wipe it away so that the outside of the roll is only the marzipan.
If the pistachio nuts are salted, rinse the nuts in a strainer under hot tap water. Place the pistachios on a cookie sheet in a 325 degree Fahrenheit oven for 5 to 10 minutes to recrisp them. Cool to room temperature and chop them medium coarsely.
Brush the marzipan roll with the egg white (only about 2 teaspoons will be necessary to coat it) and roll it in the chopped pistachios.
Place the roll on a cookie sheet lined with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before cutting the roll into slices. You may also freeze the roll, tightly wrapped in plastic wrap, and cut it when frozen. To cut beautiful slices, use a serrated knife, dipped in hot water, to cut 1/2-inch thick diagonal slices. Wipe the blade clean after each slice.
Store: In an airtight container in the refrigerator or freezer. If storing the uncut roll, wrap it first in plastic wrap and, when firm, in 2 layers of alumninum foil.
Keeps: Several weeks refrigerated, several months frozen.
- Glycerine is a combination of fat and oil that keeps the marzipan soft and chewy.
- Saran Wrap is the ideal plastic wrap for rolling the marzipan because it lies very flat. Wax paper is the second choice.

Solar Powered Chicken Hut
A local farmer is going green with his chickens. They are living in a solar powered hut! News 8's Katrina Irwin tells us how it works in this Go Green report.
Inside the hut- the sun's energy is helping chickens lay eggs.
"It's at a slight angle so all of the eggs actually roll into the center so the eggs stay as clean as possible."
Gro-Moore Farms has a flock of chickens. They lay about 35 dozen eggs a day. They aren't green eggs. But what is green about this project is the hut they stay in.
"Every time the chickens eat so much the feed goes down and it augers the feed right to them. You need power for that and you also need power because chickens are attracted to light," said Joe Moore.
And all of that power comes from the sun's energy. It's captured and stored in batteries. A gauge lets Joe Moore know how much energy is left.
"We ran it for a month and a half without any problems. Then a week or two ago I had to charge the batteries for once," said Moore.
At Gro-Moore Farms the chickens have been here for about two months so the idea is relatively new and they get to move every two days.
"You kind of have to find where the hut is around here," said Moore.
That's because the chickens are a natural way to fertilize the ground. Moore likes the fact that he doesn't have to plug anything in.
"It's great," said Moore. "Couldn't ask for a better idea with the solar power. It really helps out in being able to be out so far. If I wanted to take this into a farm I wouldn't have to be so close to where we are, where our base is."
"We're putting the hen back in Henrietta."

The Sheriff's Office has taken complaints that a telephone scam is taking place in this area and is issuing this alert as a public service.
Some Baxter County residents have been receiving telephone calls from persons claiming to represent either 1) Publisher's Clearinghouse or 2) The Golden Nugget Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. The persons making these calls are telling area residents they have won a prize, such as an Mercedas or BMW automobile, and want to verify personal information. The caller also attempts to convince the intended victim to transfer several hundred dollars for processing or handling fees in order that the prize can be delivered and awarded. The caller can be very aggressive and insistent.
If you receive a call like this, it is most probably a scam and an attempt to defraud you. If a legitimate business or company is awarding you a "prize", then you should not be charged any fees to receive or accept delivery of those items, nor should you ever be asked to verify or provide personal information over the phone to a stranger.
As we have reminded citizens in the past, we encourage you not to provide or verify personal information over the phone or by email, including name, address, social security number, birth date, bank account number or credit/debit card number, certainly not unless you can positively verify that you are speaking to a legitimate representative of that business or company. Providing such information to unverified sources can potentially result in loss of funds as well as having your identity stolen or compromised. As many of these "scammers" operate overseas, the likelihood that you can recover any monetary loss after falling victim to one of these scams is remote.

iPad Case
Usually Apple doesn't make cases for its own products, leaving such tasks up to third party manufacturers. Whether the iPad Case will signal the start of a trend, or will prove a one-off, remains to be seen, but it suggests that Apple knows its latest creation does need a case, where its other products really don't.
There's a reason for this. While its likely that anyone buying an iPad will want to show it off as much as possible, the fact remains that there are plenty of situations in which a case will prove useful. Not least of these is providing a little bit of protection should you drop your expensive toy, but there are more practical considerations too.
The Apple iPad Case does't just protect the device, it also has a clever flap at the back, into which the folding cover notches. This is secure enough that thus configured the iPad can be stood up in either portrait, landscape, or placed at a slight angle, facing upwards. The latter position is great for typing, as it not only places the iPad at a more finger-friendly angle than just laying it flat, it also stops it from rocking about, which its curved back causes it to do when case-less.
The only major problem with the case is that its designs stops the iPad from being placed into a dock while wearing it. The thickness of the case pushes it too far out of line, although the dock connector is exposed, so accessories and the charging cable can be plugged in.
The Apple iPad Case is well-designed and works well in use, both protecting your iPad and making it easier to use. However it is also, like so many Apple products, undeniably quite expensive for what it is.

Saving money is a great benefit of going green, but it's only one of many reasons that companies choose to pursue sustainability initiatives. Some, like Green Business Bureau member PlayNetwork, are simply dedicated to green practices as a part of their company's core values. PlayNetwork creates a wide range of creative and innovative media for clients, including programming for music, video, web radio, artist promotions and events, A/V systems, advertising networks, and XM satellite radio. Though these materials don't necessarily have an environmental focus, the company has considered the environmental impact of its actions since its founding in 1996.
One of the company's most significant challenges was finding a group of dedicated employees to spearhead their green undertakings, but the work to create the "PlayGreen" team paid off. This core group has served to keep momentum toward achieving their goals and has been instrumental in implementing eco-friendly policies in all aspects of the business. Over the past few years, the team has launched a number of high-impact initiatives:
- Acting to both reduce its carbon footprint and engage the staff, the company has established a pre-tax benefit setup for employees who choose to ride the bus, light rail, or train to work. PlayNetwork also says, "We're in the process of setting up a loaner bicycle program for employees so they can utilize alternative transportation to get to work and have the option of using bikes to run errands and get lunch. And that's not even the best part! Our loaner bicycle program will be put into place with funds from grant money that we had applied for."
- Providing even more opportunity for employees to work sustainably, the green team has also developed a program dedicated to recycling any old and broken electronics, CDs, CFL bulbs, and batteries.
- Although financial savings has not been the primary goal of these initiatives, PlayNetwork is realizing savings of over $4,000 each year through a paper reduction campaign. Having printers default to double-sided printing, reusing single-sided paper for internal forms and fax receipts, and reusing paper to make internal "notepads" for meetings are just a few of the ideas the campaign has put into practice. PlayNetwork comments, "We can see the difference within our company and we have the numbers to prove we're saving a lot of money and making a difference."
- Water and energy conservation have also become important parts of their business operations. "We're saving a lot on water usage with our sink aerators, as well as energy with CFL bulbs for desk lamps and motion-detecting lights." These changes have been relatively quick and inexpensive, but have made a difference for both its carbon footprint and utility bills.
Another major challenge faced by PlayNetwork had been documenting its initiatives and communicating its green efforts to its clients. Through the Green Business Bureau, it was able to take advantage of a dynamic online portal to help direct and track these initiatives, and it quickly found that its previous efforts had already earned it a Platinum level of certification (the highest tier for GBB business certification). The team says, "In the past 10 years of attempting to lessen our carbon footprint, we had already put into place many of the initiatives featured in [the GBB] program, which made us quickly realize the Platinum certification was in reach. We knew the Platinum certification tier was attainable and dove into documenting our work. We're really proud to have accomplished so much in such a short amount of time."
In communicating these accomplishments to its clients, PlayNetwork has found its sustainable practices to have a strong positive effect on the company's brand. Says the company, "We have clients who are like-minded in the sense that they view sustainability as an important and responsible role of any company, and they really appreciate us for all we do on a professional level and on a sustainable level as well. Some clients chose to do business with us over others based on many attributes our company holds and being actively green has been one of those attributes.
"Our clients that take the time to look into our company core values and see what we're doing to be more eco-friendly love everything we have put into all of these initiatives. Plus, it makes us all feel great that we're doing the right thing."

Dramatic dining room! Photos – Lucy Feagins, styling assistant – Marni Kornhauser
For a teeny tiny country town, I have to say, Kyneton is totally punching above it's weight in the interior design departament. Today we have another beautiful home to share, again belonging to a clever local creative who made the decision to move to Victoria's Macedon Ranges region in search of a tree change, a slightly more relaxed way of life, and a proper family-sized home for her family!
Tara Pearce moved to Kyneton from Yarraville in Melbourne four years ago with husband Taras, and kids Yorke (daughter – now 11 yrs) and Mak (son, now 6 yrs). They're now joined by crazy pups Buzz and Boris (because really, you can't be living in the country without some animals running about).
After moving in, Tara says the first addition to their new home was the construction of a half pipe skate ramp in the backyard. Nice to know they've got their priorities sorted! I think this fact alone says so much about Tara and Taras – their busy family home is super stylish but relaxed and unfussy, and it's clear this is a space created for family and for fun first and foremost! In addition to the all important skate ramp(!!), Tara says there was also a lot of painting to be done inside and out, and they also installed bi-fold doors and a timber deck at the rear of the home to link the loungeroom to their generous new backgarden.
Favourite aspects of the home for Tara include the indoor / outdoor living space, and the fireplace – 'in winter it is the centre of our home' she says. She also loves the amazing views of the beautiful trees surrounding the property, and of course the half pipe in the yard – 'hours of entertainment for the kids and Taras!'
Tara also has lots of reasons to love her newfound hometown. 'We have some of the top places to eat, great coffee, creative local folk and most importantly it's a much slower pace – it's a peaceful lifestyle'.
The move here has also kicked off a new career opportunity for Tara – after quitting her desk job, Tara was inspired to pursue her love of photography, and she now works on a variety of photographic projects both in town and in the country. She is particularly awesome at photographing kids and weddings! Do take a moment to check out her website and peruse her beautiful shots! (For weddings Tara shoots with her pal Erin Neale under the name Erin + Tara).
Massive thanks to Tara and family for sharing their beautiful home with us today..! If you love Tara and Taras' style I am thinking you will love their side project – The Vintage Yard Sale. Previously the pair ran a sweet retail shop in Kyneton, but the shop nows lives exclusively online, and is full of beautiful vintage / industrial finds…! Well worth a visit!
Dining room – LOVE those dramatic deep inky blue-almost-black walls, and mismatched chairs. The 50's industrial factory fan is a favourite find for Tara – 'very handy in Kyneton's extreme summer' she says! The 1879 Victorian Board Room dining table was a steal for $100(!!) – saved from a local farmers bonfire pile!

I think basically having a half pipe in your backyard is the best ever advertisement for moving to regional Victoria – these guys really should be in those commercials.

Arroz – Spanish Rice: Mexican Pressure Cooker Recipes
In America, the basic rice used in Mexican cuisine is referred to as "Spanish Rice" – which confuses Spaniards because they have never heard of it. My guess: the rice got it's name when someone translated the recipe from the original in Spanish… and not knowing what to call it, they titled it after the language in which it was written.
Whatever the origins of its nomenclature, this recipe belongs to the "pilaf" family where both Italian Risotto and Spanish Paella reside – and can be equally pressure cooked into quick perfection.
Perfectly Pressure Cooked "Spanish" Rice
Since the rice varies depending on what part of the country, or world, you happen to be I was able to make this recipe work with almost any kind of rice by playing with the liquid ratios. You will be adding chopped tomatoes and their juice so you need to account for this extra liquid. All you need to do is follow the rice:water ratio for the rice variety you are using, and subtract half a cup of water from the total liquid for each cup of chopped tomatoes you add to the recipe.
|Pressure Cooker
|Pr. Cook Time
|Pr. Level
|5 L or larger
|4-5 min.
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 onion , chopped
- 2 cups medium or long grain white rice
- 1 cup chopped tomatoes and their juice or canned chopped tomatoes
- 2½ cups water
- 2 tsp salt
- ⅛ teaspoon cayanne pepper
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- 1 green onion, chopped (optional)
- In the pre-heated pressure cooker, on medium heat without the lid, add the vegetable oil and onion.
- Saute' until the onions begin to soften (about 5 minutes). Add the rice and saute' until the first few grains begin to brown (about 3 minutes).
- Add the tomatoes, water, salt, oregano and cayenne pepper, mix well and be sure to scrape the bottom of the pan well to un-stick any rice.
- Close and lock the lid. Turn the heat up to high and when the cooker reaches high pressure, lower the heat to the minimum needed to maintain pressure. Pressure cook for 4-5 minutes at high pressure.
- Open with the Natural release method - move the pressure cooker to a cool burner and wait for the pressure to come down on it's own (about 10 minutes). For electric pressure cooker, disengage the "keep warm" mode or unplug the cooker and begin counting 10 minutes of natural open. Then, release the rest of the pressure using the valve.
- Mix the rice, and serve with finely chopped green onion garnish.

Three young boys accidentally started a fire in Provo on Friday that caused tens of thousands of dollars in damage to a home.
The fire began about 3:16 p.m. in bushes near a home at 1257 N. 1270 West in Provo, according to Fire Marshal Lynn Schofield. The flames then spread to the home, though the homeowner managed to escape after a neighbor saw smoke and raised the alarm.
Firefighters soon arrived and put the blaze out in about 20 minutes. Schofield estimated the damage from the blaze at $60,000.
According to Schofield, witnesses pointed investigators to three young boys who had been near the fire's point of origin. Upon questioning, the boys admitted to starting the blaze. Schofield said the boys will not be charged due to their age — which he did not provide — though they will be referred to a youth intervention team for "evaluation and education."

Can someone identify the maker of this revolver? It is said to be in .32 cal. Not sure if it's .32 Colt or .32 S&W short.
I've seen one like it someplace, but don't recall where. The only markings are German proofs.

Ron, There is a German made 'Polizei-Revolver', no.1016, on page 145 of Zhuk's "The Illustrated Encyclopedia of Handguns" which closely resembles your gun except for the lanyard ring. Apparently these 'Bulldog' style revolvers were popular with the police during the 1880-90's and are considered a generic category as they were made by numerous companies. The caliber was probably the .32 S&W or the European equivalent. Turn of the century German gun catalogs also show a number of similar Bulldog style variations. Question: Would Belgian made guns of that era sold in Germany be required to be German proofed also? I believe at this time the two countries did not accept each others proofs.

On Kristopher Gaisor's website "Collectable Firearms and Edged Weapons" (collectablefirearms.com), he is currently listing a revolver that is very similar to yours except it has a non-fluted cylinder. He has it listed as a "German Webley RIC Type Revolver", the RIC I believe refers to the Royal Irish Constabulary. He states his revolver is chambered for a 9X16mm cartridge. He also references Zuck and Heinrich Harder's "Der Reichsrevolver und seine Varianten", but none of the examples in Heinrich's book look quite like this one. As Dick stated, these Webley Bulldog/RIC styled revolvers were pretty popular and several variations made in Germany and Belgium turn up. Simpsons currently has a real Webley M.P. Model in this configuration with a slightly smaller grip and no safety "on hold". It is a hefty 450 caliber.
If it is made after 1918...it is a reproduction.
I think it is an imported revolver.
Thanks for the input. I was wondering if it could be Belgian made. It seems that most German pistols have the manufacturer's name on them. I was considering buying it, since I have an affliction for these little revolvers, as well as Webleys.
Is it Dutch?
When a nation is in decline, its politics becomes theater.

Ranchi, Feb. 6: Investors Inc., languishing for years in Jharkhand's volatile political climate, has now begun making a beeline to the state's new power centre and hoping for a positive rub-off from President's Rule.
Political expediency has made two of Jharkhand's biggest investors ' steelmakers ArcelorMittal and Jindal Steel and Power Limited (JSPL) ' blue-eyed boys and pariahs by turns, leaving them bereft of a supporting infrastructure to get their projects suitably off the ground. Now, both hope that President's Rule will end the doublespeak and the tide will turn.
This afternoon, JSPL chairman and Congress MP from Kurukshetra Naveen Jindal as well as ArcelorMittal's global vice-president M.P. Singh, who looks after mining, mergers and acquisitions, flew in and separately met governor Syed Ahmed at Project Building to seek status updates and make requests.
Both meetings ' touted as "courtesy calls" by the representatives of the corporate biggies ' lasted for a concise 10 minutes each but dealt with specific deadlocks and delays.
Jindal, who met the governor first, brought along his associate vice-president A.K. Biruly, posted in the capital. Singh also came with his Ranchi-based general manager S.K. Shekhar. It is understood that Biruly and Shekhar filled in the local details.
Insiders believe Jindal discussed the status of the current projects, especially the proposed captive power plants at Patratu and Godda, with governor Ahmed.
JSPL acquired 550 acres in Patratu for their 1.8MTPA wire and rod mill where production started in 2010. However, they badly need a captive power plant there for which they have to acquire at least 500 more acres.
"The Jindals have not been able to find land beyond what it acquired after purchasing Bihar Steel and Alloys Limited in Patratu. They are considering clamping their operations in the state," commented a senior official of industry department.
However, Jindal later told a section of mediapersons that they were aiming to expand their Patratu unit. Along with a captive power plant in Patratu, they also wanted to set up a 1,320MW power plant in Godda of Santhal Pargana commissionary area. "We are serious about our projects in Jharkhand," he added.
Multinational ArcelorMittal has fared worse. Despite its 2005 MoU with the Jharkhand government, it has not been able to make much headway. The company proposed to set up a 12 MTPA steel mill in the state, investing over Rs 40,000 crore. So far, it has been in the news for changing sites ' Torpa and Kolebira blocks of Khunti and Sindega districts were mulled and rejected for Petarwar-Kasmar in Bokaro.
Right now, though ArcelorMittal top brass played cards close to their chest, insiders revealed the steel major was eyeing land near Chandankyari block, Bokaro, for its first-phase downsized 3 MTPA steel plant.
"We need about 2,200 acres in Bokaro. We applied to the district and state departments of industry and revenue and land reforms. But somehow, matters appear murkier seven years after the MoU was signed," asserted a senior official of ArcelorMittal, requesting anonymity.
The company also needs land and forest clearance fast for two iron ore blocks in Karampada reserved forest area, West Singhbhum, and a coal block in Seregarha, Latehar district. Environment and forest clearance of mines is also pending for around three years.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Bored this evening so i thought i would post an update to this review. Since purchasing the board in 2010 my riding has improved immensely, a lot of which i credit to this board. I went from barely even able to land a front 180 off a 2 ft. side hit to being able to comfortably land 540s off ~30 ft jumps over the last couple of seasons. Of course it helps that i've had a season pass two of those three years, but this board truly is the most confidence inspiring board i have ridden, and after demoing and trying out many other brands such as lib, never summer, burton and more i am looking forward to snagging a 2014 turbo dream at the end of this season.
quick comments to expand on my initial review:
at the time of purchase i would have considered myself an intermediate rider (maybe a 5 out of 10, 10 being professional rider and 0 being your girlfriend on her first day). Since owning the board my skills on all parts of the mountain have increased substantially, with the most improvement being in park riding (almost exclusively jumps up to 40 ft.) and in back country riding. Also, I had not even attempted switch riding until i purchased this board, and am now very comfortable charging switch at high speeds. This board has more than kept up, and it keeps asking for more and more, which is why even after trying out high end boards like the t. rice, i have no desire to switch now. Maneuvrability is second to none, edge hold is extremely strong at high speeds (clocked up to 85 km/h with no jitters from the board), stability on bigger jumps is extremely confidence inspriring and float in powder is very good as well. I realize for riders that focus more so on specific styles like park riding or backcountry shredding this board will not be the one for you, but I have not been able to find a deck i prefer more for the combination of all mountain riding i do.
because not all boards are perfect, i should throw in that edge hold in icy conditions is not great simply because the deck lacks any sort of edge hold tech like magnetraction. This is especially apparent since i have moved back to alberta where i mostly ride marmot, and conditions are much more hardpack/icy than in the BC interior. This is not a deal breaker for me though as i have learned to control the board well in these conditions, and it's other advantages more than make up for this downfall in my opinion.
Another thing to mention is that the durability on this board is quite impressive. I literally rode this thing over about 15 ft. of gravel last year late in the season at marmot coming in blind over a hill with no snow on the other side. I looked at the base and was amazed there were no core shots or even deep scratches that needed to be filled. Only bad dinger i've given was when riding switch in the trees and running straight into a small tree, cracking the edge at the very tip of the tail and delaminating the top sheet slightly. i epoxied it up and have ridden the board another 1.5 seasons without noticing any ill effect.
As for the binders and boots i am just going to quickly touch on those, i am still riding the same set up and have no desire to change, the bindings have shown to be very durable and feel the same as when i bought them. as for the boots i have honestly not tried on any others since purchasing the setup, but i have no desire to as they fit my feet perfectly and the BOA tech is amazing for getting that flexy lace feel with the locked in feeling of boa in the liner. Definitely still my preferred boot tech. I will probably keep these boots and bindings for a few more seasons until i am compelled to get something different (or the same but newer)
Anyways thanks for reading, i'm stoked for another year on my 2011 TD and to pick up the exact same board for 2014 to continue to improve my riding!
I have the Darkos and love them. For me it is the perfect compromise between the reliability of traditional lacing on the outside and the instant adjustment and strong hold of the BOA system.
With the laces on the outside you can dial in the tightness you want top and bottom and let the inner BOA fine tune the fit. You can move the inner BOA around so that it wraps your ankle the way you want and it really helps eliminate heel lift. I also love popping the BOA loose while on the lift to give my feet a break which goes a long way in the comfort department when riding a full day.
How's the k2 turbo dream do in the park?
I'm thinking of buying the turbo dream, I feel like I want to step it up and get a quality board I can use for a couple years, but how does it do in the park? I want a board that I can have fun with on normal days up in the mountain and In trees and powder (basically an all Mt board) but I've got to be able to ride our competitions on my board too, the comps are slope style, boarder cross an half pipe. So would this board be good for me? I want a board that can do decent in the park (I'm more worries about jumps than rails, but I like rails too), pipe, and speed, but I don't want to sacrifice the rest of the mountain for that! This board sounds good for cliffs and pow and trees but yeah how is it in da park/pipe?

cool, thought I'd try.
I'm heading to Whistler this weekend and they have demos available every day so I am hoping to demo the turbo dream a lib and maybe a few others to compare. I'll post reviews if I end up doing the demos.

I was originally thinking I'd buy a C2BTX like the Skunk Monkey or the Dark Series, but they cost much more and not 40% off like the Turbo Dream.
i would have loved to demo a couple of lib/never summer/bataleon boards just to get a feel for all the different technologies out there but sadly i didn't have that option. i went with the turbo dream because of my positive experiences with the k2 brand, the quality of reviews, and because it matched well to the type of riding i do. for these reasons i don't regret the purchase at all and i especially don't regret not paying ~$150 more for a lib/gnu/never summer.

|Yeah I got them heat molded as well. Man what a difference! Paired with my Burton socks they are the ultimate in comfort an warmth.
|Good reviews, thanks. I also have the Darkos, the best thing I ever did was to bake them to fit. It took a few times to get it perfect, but they are super comfortable now.
|Glad you're loving the K2 setup. I have the K2 Fling myself and my bf has the Darkos as well. He loves the boa-conda tech too.
