Hi Juliya, I've been single for a really long time now and I'm having trouble dealing with it. It's making me doubt myself and my ability to ever have a woman again. Everyone tells me to just "wait it out" or "be myself," but it's hard when I don't know what to do or say. What advice do you have for getting back out there?
Matt, what will attract others is you feeling confident and comfortable in your skin. So, first, reflect on what it is that makes you awesome: your interests, hobbies, whatever, and feel good about it. Try to do more social activities where you can meet someone with similar interests and thereby making you more comfortable, with something in common to talk about. And finally, be open-minded to approach someone new and just be yourself and friendly. Approach conversation as you would with a friend. That way, if you feel the person isn't interested, you can casually back off. But if you feel that the girl is vibing on your casual comment or conversation, keep it going and see where that takes you!
Juliya, what advice would you give to someone who struggles with self-esteem issues about their appearance?
Dear Ashley, that exact issue is something I suffered with tremendously in my adolescence and early 20s. The worst part about it is, no matter what anyone else said, even if it was sincere, I just didn't believe it. At one point I got really sick of it and decided that if I did things for myself that I enjoyed and surrounded myself with better people, it should help. So, I would save money to get clothes I really liked. Do my hair. Go to a spa here and there. Started exercising. I started taking care of my skin and hair, which all made me feel very female and kinda fancy. And I focused on hobbies I really enjoyed with friends who were really sincere and fun. That made a lot of difference. The fact is, if you feel good, you will look good. And exercising had a huge impact on my confidence a well. It made me feel good and enjoy wearing clothes.

Re: Why doesn't this work?
In the first case, you need to use Evaluate since FindRoot has the attribute
{HoldAll, Protected}
Dog[t_] := (t/tau1)^6 * Exp[-6 * (t/tau1 - 1)] - (t/tau2)^6 *
Exp[-6 * (t/tau2 - 1)]
FindRoot[Evaluate[(Dog[t] == 0) /. { tau1 -> 13.7, tau2 -> 24.8}], {t, 20}]
{t -> 18.1648}

Radio Host Janet Mefferd Applauds Jamaica's Anti-Homosexuality Law
Blog ››› ››› LUKE BRINKER
Janet Mefferd, among right-wing talk radio's most rabid promoters of homophobia, endorsed Jamaica's anti-sodomy law, falsely suggesting that it was essential to combatting the spread of HIV.
On the December 17 edition of The Janet Mefferd Show, Mefferd invited extreme anti-gay activist Peter LaBarbera of Americans for Truth About Homosexuality (AFTAH) to discuss his recent trip to Jamaica, where he advised supporters of Jamaica's gay sex ban in light of calls for its repeal. LaBarbera praised the "moral clarity" of the ban's supporters, and Mefferd left no doubt that she also supported the criminalization of homosexuality. LaBarbera asserted that such laws help fight HIV, lamenting that in the U.S., people "talk all about rights of homosexuals and never about, you know, stopping this dangerous behavior." Mefferd agreed, calling it "really unfortunate":
HIV/AIDS experts, however, condemn anti-sodomy laws as a hindrance to efforts to prevent the spread of HIV and AIDS. According to AIDS Free World, such laws "drive underground people who are in need of health and other services related to HIV and AIDS." In Jamaica itself, the organization states, the government "uses the anti-sodomy law as an excuse for not creating adequate HIV-related health programs ... that target MSM [men who have sex with men]."
Mefferd's support for a policy that's both an affront to fundamental liberties and damaging to public health further demonstrates her extremism - her syndicator's assertion that she's "mainstream" notwithstanding. Her vicious anti-LGBT smears, however, haven't stopped conservative celebrities and media figures like Herman Cain, Newt Gingrich, Brian Brown, and Stephen Jimenez from appearing on her program.

CLU to Host Special Olympics Delegations
University to house three countries in July
THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. – The largest sporting event in Los Angeles since the 1984 Olympics is coming to town and California Lutheran University and the city of Thousand Oaks are honored to be hosting Special Olympic World Games delegations from four countries between July 21-24, 2015 prior to the start of competition on July 25 as a Host Town.
The 2015 edition of the Special Olympic World Games, which occur every two years, will feature more than 6,500 competitors from 165 countries. Athletes and coaches from Mongolia, San Marino, St. Vincent and the Grenadines and Tajikistan will call the Cal Lutheran dorms home for three days. During that time, everyone will enjoy a bit of recreation, entertainment and cultural exchange around town as well as various training sessions on campus.
Thousand Oaks and CLU will welcome 100 people from the four countries with 63 athletes, who will be competing in a variety of sports including athletic, bocce, bowling, soccer, gymnastics, both artistic and rhythmic, judo, table tennis and tennis.
The Host Town program, introduced in 1995, has played an important role for the Special Olympics World Games by leaving lasting impressions on local communities that have had the opportunity to be involved. Host Towns will also provide an impactful legacy for the Special Olympics in Southern California and CLU and Thousand Oaks will team up to play a crucial role to further the cause of acceptance and inclusion of people with intellectual disabilities that will be felt for years to come. The events that the Special Olympians will experience will provide memories that will be cherished for a lifetime.
As part of NCAA Division III, Cal Lutheran has a unique connection to the Special Olympics as a partnership has been formed between the two parties over the years. A number of Cal Lutheran student-athletes and coaches will be involved in the festivities on campus later this month.

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. – For just the second time in school history, the Northern Arizona women's tennis team defeated New Mexico, 6-1 on Saturday at Continental Country Club. The Lumberjacks earned their first home win of the season and snapped their losing streak at three in the process and moved to 5-8 overall this spring.
"This is only the second time in history we've beaten New Mexico," said director of tennis Kim Bruno. "It feels great. I told the girls that I knew if we played together as a team, we'd get the job done. We've been right there all season; a couple of girls would play well and a couple girls wouldn't. We all played the way we needed to today and a 6-1 win over this team is huge for us."
Freshmen Hannah Stone and Johanna Vang snapped their personal two-match losing skid and gave the Lumberjacks a win at No. 2 doubles to start the day. The Lobos would even doubles play with a win at No. 1, but junior Alice Pacaut and Nicole Perez came through with an 8-4 win over Nikolina Grbac and Michaela Oldani at No. 3 to put the Lumberjacks on the scoreboard heading into singles play.
Junior Malia Wahinepio gave the Lumberjacks a 2-0 lead with her singles win at No. 3, but New Mexico's Michaela Bezdickova defeated junior Ghizelene Doballah at No. 1 to slice the Lobo deficit in half.
With the match at 2-1 in NAU's favor, the freshmen duo clinched the match for the Lumberjacks with wins at No. 4 and 2. Vang defeated Kristin Eggleston for her team-leading seventh singles win, while Stone earned her sixth singles win to snap her own three-match losing streak. Perez and Pacaut capped off the Lumberjack win with victories at No. 5 and 6 respectively.
The Lumberjacks will next play on Monday back at Continental Country Club against No. 65 Akron. Doubles play will begin at 12 p.m.
1. Michaela Bezdickova/Alyssa Caffey (UNM) def. Ghizelene Doballah/Malia Wahinepio (NAU), 9-8 (7-4)

Accountable to Legislatures?
Of course, the preparation of the CAGs report is not the end of the matter. In theory, the CAG is but the objective and authoritative referee, the amicus so to say of the Legislature. Accountability to Parliament is what the votaries always pull out as the ultimate argument for retaining the units in the public sector. So, let us follow the story to the next step.
The CAG sends his report to the government and the Legislature. The government has to place it formally on the table of the House, along with an Action Taken Report. There are committees of the Legislature that are charged with the constitutional duty to examine the reports threadbare, to assess what the government and the enterprises have to say in response to the CAGs observations, and to report their conclusions back to the Legislature.
Year after year, the CAG lists the number of reviews and the number of paragraphs in which he had made critical observations that have not been taken up for even pro forma discussion by the relevant committee of the West Bengal Assembly. Several of these reviews and observations that he lists were submitted to the State Government and the Legislature a decade earlier!
The CAGs reports contain another table that tells the tale even better. As we noted above, the Government is duty-bound to place the reports of the CAG on the table of the Legislature. Year after year, the CAG records whether even this elementary requirement has been fulfilled. I reproduce the tables that occur in the Reports for the year ending in March 1999 and the year ending in March 2002. A mere glance will nail the lessons.
Notice, first, the number of years after the closure of a year that the Special Audit Report could be finalised for submission to Government: delays of three to four years are normal! In the case of the Calcutta State Corporation, the CAG was unable to finalise his reports for 1980/81 till September 2000! Next, notice that in case after case, when the CAG inquires why the Government has failed to even place the Report before the Legislature forget taking action on its recommendations, just placing the Report on the table of the House the Government does not care to give even a pro forma explanation. In instance after instance, under the caption, Reasons for delay in placement in Legislature, the CAG helplessly records, Not stated by the Government.
The entry against the Calcutta State Transport Corporation in successive reports deserves reproduction by itself:
Reasons furnished by the Government of West Bengal for not placing the CAGs Special Audit Reports on the Calcutta State Transport Corporation before the Legislature:
1998/99: Adequate printed copies not available for placement
1999/2000: Adequate printed copies not available for placement as stated by Government
2000/01: Adequate printed copies not available for placement as stated by Government
2001/02: The Government has directed the Corporation to print required number of copies of SARs for the years 1980-81 to 1992-93 for laying the same at a time
Year after year the explanation that should really be, what passes for an explanation is that an adequate number of printed copies are not available! The CAG finds this so untenable that he starts adding the words, as stated by Government. By March 2002, the Government is grace personified. It directs the Corporation to have an adequate number of copies printed. Of what? Of reports from 1980/81 up to 1992/93. This in March 2002!
Discussion in the House
To find out what happens to the reports after they have been examined by the relevant committees of the Legislature, I request The Indian Express to request their correspondents in Kolkata to ascertain:
The latest year for which the CAGs Report has been placed in the West Bengal Assembly.
The latest year for which the Public Accounts Committee of the West Bengal Assembly is discussing the Report at present.
Whether anyone has been punished or censured because of any strictures contained in the CAGs reports.
The last occasion that the Assembly discussed a report of the CAG in a structured way.
Santanu Banerjee and Sabyasachi Bandopadhyaya, The Indian Express correspondents, interviewed the Speaker of the Assembly, Hashim Abdul Halim he has served as Speaker of the West Bengal Assembly longer than anyone else, a full 16 years; they interviewed Subrata Mukherjee, the current Chairman of the Public Accounts Committee, they interviewed one of the longest serving MLAs of the Opposition, Atish Sinhai of the Congress.
The Report for 2001/02 has been placed in the Assembly, the correspondents report. The Report for 2002/03 is likely to be placed this month. The Public Accounts Committee is considering the Report (Civil) for 1996/97 and also the one for 2000/01. As for someone being brought to account on the basis of any conclusion that the Public Accounts Committee might have reached as a result of anything that the CAG may have observed, both the Speaker and the Chairman of the PAC tell the correspondents that they cannot remember anyone having been punished.
The Speaker is definite: We cannot punish someone on the basis of a PAC report. The Chairman of the PAC says, For 16 years I had been Chairman of the PAC and never have I seen anybody punished though at different times we recommended punishment of various officers. The PAC does not have any powers to punish anybody.
Why is this so?, the correspondents ask. I think it is the lack of seriousness and sincerity on the part of members which is the reason for officials going unscathed, the Chairman explains. This year, the PAC has recommended punishment of a PWD engineer for indulging in irregularities in procuring Bitumen. For all the systemic and persistent irregularities nailed by the CAG year after year, one PWD engineer!
As for the Assembly discussing a report of the CAG in a structured way, the Speaker says that though there is a provision for discussing them, he cannot recall any report ever having been discussed in the Assembly. But he knows why. The reports cannot be discussed till the PAC has gone through them, he says. And once it has gone through them, there is no need to discuss them, he says! Where is the need to debate them? he asks. They (the members of the PAC) do their job so competently that we do not discuss them in the House.
The Congress MLA, Atish Sinhai, has a different perspective. He tells the correspondents, I have tried to discuss the PAC or CAG reports but mentions of them are expunged. Legislative accountability!

Thousands rally for fresh Herat council election
Thousands rally for fresh Herat council election
HERAT CITY (PAN): Thousands of residents of this western city on Saturday took to the streets, rejecting as illegal the election of Syed Wahid Qatali as provincial council chief.
Qatali won a second round of the ballot that involved 12 members and held in Kabul last week in presence of Independent Directorate of Local Governance (IDLG) officials.
Governor Dr. Daud Shah Saba called the elections as a coup against him, saying the result was unacceptable to him as the vote had not been fair because a majority of members were absent.
Dr. Abdul Zahir Faizzada, who claims IDLG officials preventing him from contesting the vote, told nearly 7000 protestors the elections were illegal and should be conducted again in the presence of all council members and within the legal constituency.
The second round in Kabul came after last week's electoral fray between Qatali and Faizzada failed to throw up a clear winner. Both received 9 votes each from the 19 members who participated.
Another rally participant, Haji Abdul Jabbar Tahiri, alleged those voting in favour of Qatali had received money from powerful individuals. "We being independent people are not ready to be ruled by force under the slogan of democracy," Tahiri remarked.
A female member of the council, Jehan Tab Tahiri, suggested the issue could be resolved if a fresh round of election was conducted in Herat, but not between Qatali and Faizzada.

Most of the time I do not begrudge anyone who wants to try and extend their 15 minutes of fame or try to earn a living doing reality television. It is your life, the economy is never going to get better and if someone is willing to pay you to be on television, then go for it. Most of the time the people doing this have no other sources of income and were trying to be actors or singers or in the business anyway.
That all goes out the window with this Jake Pavelka guy. Not only is not he being honest with himself, but that is an entirely different subject for a different time, the guy had/has a real job as an airline pilot. He was already making six figures a year in a job that is coveted and tough to get. The only reason he is doing any of this is because he likes being famous. The trouble is he is not good at it. Most people given this many opportunities would have stuck by now. He has not because no one really likes him and can smell the desperation a mile away.
The picture above is from his first date with Jackie Gordon for Bachelor Pad. To really hammer home those ABC/Disney connections they went to El Capitan which is owned by Disney and saw a Disney movie and then probably went and had dome food at the ice cream place next door also owned by Disney. To end the night, they each had Mickey's face tattooed to their chests in honor of him continuing to give them a weekly paycheck when most people would have to actually do something to make money.

Building First Engine
I have a 350 out of 95 silverado TBI, I'm keeping the TBI,but how can get more hp out of the motor without having to changing throttles bodies out. I want about another 150 horse
Last edited by 82 monte; 09-21-2008 at 07:25 PM.
The only ways you'll realize THAT size of an increase to that engine would be through: 1.Forced induction (blower or turbo), 2. Nitrous, or 3.Major buildup. {All of which would require redesigning the fuel delivery system to support the increased need for fuel.} Even adding a 150 shot of nitrous requires additional fuel. Remember that an engine is basically just an air pump, and to get more out of it you've either got to force more into it, increase its capacity, or spin it much faster -all of which require SOME level of supporting modifications to accomadate the increased power level that you are attempting to attain. The ThrottleBody Injection system (being a very basic and simple type of fuel injection) is not very supportive of tunability or high horsepower levels, although it usually works great for it's intended purpose for which it was designed; namely- to be a simple, REASONABLY accurate, and reliable fuel supply system for low-mid horsepower oem powerplants. If you are wanting a 400+ HP/TQ engine you'll need to go carb or MPFI and include the supporting hardware to efficiently utilize the burnable mixture being supplied, IF you want something that will last and be reliable. While you could conceivably add a nitrous setup to that engine as it is, repeated usage of anything more than about a 50-75 shot would stress those stock internals to beyond their capabilities in a relatively short order. Basically said, you have an unrealistic expectation for that engine as it is presently configured. To get 150+ beyond stock HP/TQ will require extensive modifications unless you want to put a rod through the block with a one-pass 150 shot (which still would require additional fuel delivery anyway). Check out the articles on the knowledge base on this site and you can get some ideas. Good luck with whatever you decide.-Jim
What would happen if i bored it out about 20 or 30 over, how much hp would that give and what would I have to do about my fuel delivery then
Overboring to +.030 would give you 5 more c.i. (355) but that alone would probably not render you more than 1-3 hp increase, and if the engine is in decent internal condition as it sits, would be a waste of money. First and foremost you must decide what you want this engine to be used for, meaning; what will it's application be? From there you can determine HOW you will need to build it (for lower rpm "torque-heavy" usage such as a mainly streetrod/heavier car or truck usage, for high-revving high-horsepower drag ONLY motor, etc..) If you can post what your intended usage and vehicle will be, from there many folks on this site can direct you toward the proper reference materials/articles to get you started in the right direction. While a 350 based engine is least expensive to build-up, it still costs serious money to begin getting up over a certain level due to the changes that are needed to obtain that level. Minor changes will cost less and render less results, while major changes will cost more and render more results. What exactly is it that you are seeking to accomplish? If you can answer that question then the great people on this site can help you along the whole path. As far as using the factory TBI system for a buildup, you probably can't expect to get much over the (approx.) 250-260 hp level. Please post for all of those of us whom would like to help you along, just what type of vehicle and it's intended usage will be, and from there you can get much help in determining what can be done/how you can accomplish it, and most importantly- what you can expect the approximate costs and difficulty level to be. -"Toss us a friggin bone here,eh?" -(Just kidding,but I've always loved that phrase) Anyway-please give us more info to help you.-Jim
I am putting this motor n a 82 monte carlo. I want more hp. I dont mind changing out the stock TBI.
Last edited by 82 monte; 09-23-2008 at 12:07 AM.
I would suggest that you spend some time looking over the knowledge base on this site to get some ideas, especially as it relates to how much money you will be willing to spend and how "street-friendly" you want this engine to be. Also keep in mind that other systems and components will need to be upgraded to handle increased power levels. (Hi-hp plus "stock" tranny or rearend = "BOOM") Seriously, you'll need to make a plan for what you want to achieve.(horsepower level, torque level, rpm range, how much reliability, timeframe for completion, etc...) Personally, I prefer old-school (carbueration, very little if any computerization, etc...,but that is because I'm not so great with computers...whereas someone whom is good with computer theory and application may be better-off with employing as much of the newer technologies as possible, so as to get maximum powergains and tunability from the level of technology that is available out there) Yes-I'm a dinosaur, but I like the K.I.S.S. (keep it simple,stupid) theory because it fits my comfort zone. I'm more at home with a Lapdance than a Laptop! Anyways... take some time to go thru the knowledge base and get some ideas of what fits your overall plans and budget/timeframe. There's a TON of good info in the kb and related tech.articles, but to make use of it you'll have to have a good plan, -just as if you were going to build a house. Best of luck and hope you find all the help you need. (Shouldn't be a problem on this site)-Jim.
I did some research and that motor comes stock 200hp and 310lb torque.I want to add a 100 to each or close to that as possible. How can i achieve that and is it even possible. Also, what would I have to change out?
where are you so far
Im doing a similar project right now, I'm working on an 82' cutlass supreme with a 355 sbc. I was ust wundering what the current status of the engine is. Is it still all together or is it taken apart, do you have the heads off yet, if so, what kinda pistons are in it. If they are dish tops, you will have a hard time getting 100 more horses outta them unless you find some really small chamber heads to boost your compression. Basically you possibilities are endless, It just depends on what you wanna do with it and how much you wanna spend. Like Jim said.
If its got flat tops in the short block, and you know the rotating assembly is good, I personally would leave the short block alone to keep the budget reasonable. you can get 300 HP outta that short block quite easily. Just get a decent cam and some good heads, intake, headers, and carb, and you should be atleast to 300, probably well over.
Check out this article, they basically started with a junkyard block, punched it .030 to a 355 and threw in some forged dual 2 valve relief pistons and managed to exceed 500 HP with the right combo.
Please correct me if i'm wrong, but that is a roller block right?? I'm not really familiar with the new ones my SBC's are all pre 86' so they are a little different. I'd say you could pretty easily go with one of the matched engine kits like the Holley systemax kit, edelbrock topend kit, brodix kit, dart kit, Im not sure if AFR has a kit or not, but i'd say anyof these kits will put you well over 300 HP with flat tops with 64cc heads. You could always have someone help you match your own kit also, but these are dyno tested HP/TQ why guess if you don't hafta. Please provide more info when you can, and be sure to read that article, Its very interesting, to know that you can add 250 HP with a comp XE294 and some AFR 195's CNCed.
Do a google search on the specs for an origional lt1 350 (350/370HP)chev engine from the 70.
It will show you how much you would have to change to get your goals. EVERYTHING
It would probably be way cheaper to buy a crate engine than to change all your parts out.
crate engine???????
first off that just takes all the fun and pride out of it... If your like me at all, you enjoy having the satisfaction of saying yea, "i did that". Anyone can go buy something from a book and call it quits, but the real pleasure comes when you beat the guys who got his from book with something you transformed with your own two hands.
second off there is no need for a crate engine if hes got a good short block. Even if he's gotta put a set of rings in it and bearings, hes lookin at $200-300 for a a block and rotating assembly thats perfectly fine up to 500HP. Even with dish tops he could still make it over 300 with out a doubt.
I tell you what I'm building, a 350 right now with a comp 280 magnum cam 480/480 lift, speed pro flat top hyper pistons, stock re furb crank, stck 5.7 rods, 10.45:1 CR with 58cc 305 HO headsgasket matched and bowl blended, 1.6 aluminum roller rockers, Edelbrock performer RPM dual plane intake, holley 750 carb, TH 350 stage 2 shift kit 3000 stall, 3.73 rear gears, 25-2800 lbs car. I've had 6 professional engine designers estimate that i'll have between 375-400 HP and 410 ft/lb TQ. I'll finish this engine for under $1000, and walk all over most crate motors that the average person can afford. Yes, its cause i already have most of the stuff sitting in my garage, but this is all stuff anyone can get very reasonable price, If you cant, I can, send me a PM. Just my 2 cents for what its worth.
"if hes got a good short block"
yup sometimes the devil is in the (small print or) details..........
get a nice cheap crate engine and go through it, there will be enough problems with one of them....then trying to turn a slug into a money pit.....
anyone can easily run up a 2K machine shop bill doing the rebuild/heavyup....
or just get a 350/370 from Jasper for less than you could ever do it....and have a warranty......
He will have enough issues uprading his drive train/trans/suspension/braking system to iron out when increasing his power level 50%.
PS: Danny we do have something in common, the NET lift on my cam is 485 485 116 lobe sep 278/292 duration....and I could not even get valve covers for 1000.00
Last edited by OHD; 09-23-2008 at 11:08 AM.
$1000 valve covers????
LOL, thats kinda crazy, If you've got that in the valve covers you must have atleast 20K in the rest of it.
I wasn't trying to sound combative, but what i was trying to say is that If the Block, crank, pistons, and rods are all still together and were in excellent working order when removed from the silverado. Why not leave it together and use it the way it is if your on a budget. plus then you don't have all the machine shop work to be done. change the cam and through some good heads on it with a good intake and decent carb, and he'll be at or past his goal of 300. The holley systemax kit sells on summit for $1700 or $1800 on summit and it includes everything but the carb, and its advertised at over 400 HP. I don't think that its gaurentees to reach that amout but prolly pretty close, especially with flat tops.
If you really want to utilize that engine for buildup, there should be nothing wrong with doing so- IF and ONLY IF it can be determined that it's current internal condition is worth utilizing as a platform to build-up the topend. I didn't see any mention as to how many miles were on this unit, and it's service history. If it were @ 60k engine with all highway mileage and oil changes every 2K, has excellent oil pressure and good BALANCED compression readings across all cylinders, then I'd have no qualms about freshening up the topend with upgraded cam/headwork or aftermarket heads/timing chain and gears. On the flipside, if it was used in a delivery-vehicle application and spent most of it's life doing short trips and lots of idling, with oilchanges only every 5K, I'd want to either plan on finding a different platform to work from, or a MAJOR overhaul. SO...First things first. IF the engine's history is known good, then have the compression checked, leakdown test, and other BASIC checks to ascertain what it's internal health might be. From there you can make an informed decision on how to proceed further. One thing to consider is that the fuel system (Tank and Lines) in your '82 Monte were setup for a feedback type carbuerated application using no more than 5-7 psi obtained from a mechanical pump. Unless you want to upgrade fuel supply system this will preclude you from using TBI or MPFI on the Monte. Your 95 donor motor was a rollercam motor using an electric pump system and MAY not have a boss on the block or cam eccentric to drive a mechanical pump. This can be solved thru usage of an aftermarket (Holley or similar) electric pump and staying with a carbuerated induction system. The existing lines in the Monte weren't designed to handle the higher pressures used by fuel injection. These are some points to take into consideration. If you buildup a motor for that Monte plan on staying with a carbed motor (600-650 cfm vac. secondary or Q-jet), unless you want to dig deeper into the wallet and have more redesign issues to deal with. A nice portjob and freshening on those truck heads (or aftermarket if budget allows) + a nice (1500-5500 rpm) cam and intake, along with a decent exhaust system will get you where you want to be without too much drama. Be prepared of course to upgrade the trans somewhat (a freshening at the very LEAST) and cooling system as well. Keep researching this and other sites and you'll begin to develop an understanding of what's required to achieve your goals. DEFINITELY make sure that whatever you build from is in shape to begin building from, otherwise, as the others have said- "you'll end up with a MONEYPIT". Good luck with whatever way you decide to proceed, and keep us all informed with your progress. -Jim
short block
yea, what he said. It all depends on how well you trully know the block and rotating assembly to decide whether its worth using. And as i said before i personally would go with flat top pistons for performance either way, unless you got some good 58-60cc heads to get your CR up. If you got the money go with forge if you change them, that will leave the nitrous option open for you down the road.
That 200hp rating is "net hp", rated with all accessories hooked up and a full stock factory exhaust system attached. Just freeing up the exhaust system ought to make a noticeable difference, but I don't see 350hp with the stock 350-sized TBI.
You should be able to make it with the bigger 454 injector body, which was adapted to a factory 4-bbl carb intake manifold by GM, but you'd still need more mods than that to get 350hp.
Some head mods, better yet new heads, and a cam change, and by now your computer's liable to be so confused it'd have to be modified to function with all the other stuff you changed.
It'd make a hell of a sleeper motor, though, once you got it all sorted out.

Tila Tequila's Been Rejected By Her Shot Of Love
At the finale of Tila Tequila's A Shot Of Love Season 2, the bisexual Tila had a very twisted ending in the story. She was dumped by no other than Kristy Morgan whom she gave a chance for her shot of love. What sad finale for the Internet savvy girl.
She was made to choose between the last two contestants, potential boyfriend Bo and Kristy, when she dismissed Bo after he did his best to use his body heat to melt a block of ice to get to "Tila's heart" frozen in the center. "I've been calling Tila my girlfriend for a long time now," a heartbroken Bo told the cameras. "I really do love Tila. You always get your Bo-bear."
However, after a steamy make out session with Kristy in the hot tub, Tila was surprised when Kristy rejected her final key. "You love that I'm honest and that I'm true to my feelings and true about who I am," Kristy told a teary Tila. "If I take this key, I'm not being true."
"Why would you do that now?" Tila asked. "Why would you put me through all this process… I feel humiliated."

Tensions, transisitions and triumphs : examining the transitional experience of fashion students between school and university
Vaughan, Suzi & Armstrong, Wendy (2009) Tensions, transisitions and triumphs : examining the transitional experience of fashion students between school and university. In Aotearoa New zealand Association of Art Education Conference, 20-24 April, Otago Polytechnic, Art & Design, Dunedin. (Unpublished)
Joining any new community involves transition and adaptation. Just as we learn to adapt to different cultures when we choose to live abroad, so students learn the language and culture of an academic community in order to succeed within that environment. At the same time however, students bring with them individual learning styles and expectations, influenced by their prior experiences of learning and of life more generally. Some have excelled at school; others have come to fashion seeking something in which to excel for the first time. Commencing a degree in fashion design brings students into contact with peers and lecturers who share their passion, providing them with a community of practice which can be both supportive and at the same time intimidating.----- In Queensland where university level study in fashion is such a new phenomenon, few applicants have any depth of training in design when they apply to study fashion. Unlike disciplines such as Dance or Visual Art, where lecturers can expect a good level of skill upon entry to a degree program, we have to look for the potential evidenced in an applicant's portfolio, much of which is untutored work that they have generated themselves in preparation for application. This means that many first year fashion students at QUT whilst very passionate about the idea of fashion design are often very naïve about the practice of fashion design, with limited knowledge of the history or cultural context of fashion and few of the technical skills needed to translate their ideas into three dimensional products.----- For teachers engaging with first year students in the design studios, it is critical to be cognizant of this mix of different experiences, expectations and emotions in order to design curricula and assessment that stretch and engage students without unduly increasing their sense of frustration and anxiety. This paper examines a first year project designed to provide an introduction to design process and to learning within a creative discipline. The lessons learnt provide a valuable and transferable resource for lecturers in a variety of art and design disciplines.

For a lot of Pokéfans out there, both young and old, tomorrow's long awaited worldwide release of Pokémon X and Y is more exciting than even Christmas. If tomorrow is like Christmas, then tonight is like Christmas Eve. Oh boy, good luck getting any sleep!
In the last few days the reviews have been pouring in and the news has all been good. Chances are this is the Pokémon adventure you've been waiting for all year, and more.
Indeed, X and Y threatens to be the largest, possibly best, and importantly: the most innovative Pokémon games yet.
X & Y won't just bring Pokémon into a fully animated 3D world, it will introduce new innovations such as the Mega Pokémon, character customization, the all new Fairy type, new battle mechanics such as Horde and Sky battles, improved multiplayer functionality and much, much more.
X & Y will undoubtedly become the most successful Pokémon games in franchise history, but they also have a good chance of becoming the reigning king and queen of all DS games: reports from Japan detail that the games have already become the most pre-ordered Pokémon games in franchise history, and flat out most wanted 3DS games ever at a grand total of 1.26 million pre-orders. These reports are a week old, god knows what that number has inflated to by now and will continue to in the sweet few hours we now have to wait until release. Western pre-order figures are still unknown.
If you wanna be the very best, like no one ever was, then test your mettle tomorrow, in Pokémon X & Y.

crossfire cfa-602, car audio amp problem
i dont post much but i thought you guys might be able to help me
i have a crossfire cfa602 amp that is making a weird high piched noise about 10 sec after its turned off!
thats with the rca's dissconected, mostly in the right channel and a little in the left.
i know this amp is getting on a bit(10-12years old!) but its 1 of 6 i am using at the moment, this one powers a set of usd HLCD's
if i recall correctly the amp at one stage of its life accidently had its 2 channels wired together, it shorted and blew the 30a fuse in one channel.
was that the likely cause?
anyone with any idears on what it is, i dont have a huge knowege of how they work but i can usually fix most things.
You should post this in the car audio forum. Put up a picture of the inside of the amp, and best of luck to ya.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 15/1/2014 (1255 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
It has proven to be another successful year for a program that allows citizens to help police fight crime.
Brandon Police Service Const. Ron Burgess, the co-ordinator for the Brandon Crime Stoppers program, says he's pleased with the 2013 results.
"I'm happy with them," Burgess said. "They're right in keeping with previous years. Tip numbers and arrests were both above program averages since inception."
January is Crime Stoppers month, and Brandon volunteers, sponsors and supporters were thanked at a luncheon at the Canad Inns hotel on Wednesday.
The program allows citizens to anonymously make tips by phone, text message or online. It pays up to $2,000 for tips that lead to the solution of a crime.
The Brandon program is run by a local board of volunteers and reward money is gathered through fundraising.
In 2013, the program received 256 tips that resulted in 63 arrests and cleared 62 cases. It also helped recover $42,800 in stolen property and illegal drugs.
In total, $5,500 in rewards were handed out.
The previous year, 347 tips were received, 60 arrests were made and 77 police cases were cleared. About $2.34 million worth of stolen property and illegal drugs were seized.
A total of $5,550 in rewards were granted.
The number of tips and arrests depends on a number of variables, Burgess said, so it's hard to say why those numbers may be up or down in any given year.
Significant drug arrests last year boosted the dollar figure for stolen property and illegal drugs seized, he said.
Crime Stoppers was brought to Brandon in 1985 and, as of the end of 2013, it brought in a total of 7,314 tips, resulted in 1,555 arrests, had cleared 2,249 cases and recovered $4.27 million in stolen property and drugs. In addition, $190,571 worth of frauds have been solved while arson cases that have caused a total of $316,569 in damage have been cleared.
Tipsters have received a grand total of $172,885 in rewards.

another piece of shit
"Carl Paladino is simply expressing the views that he holds in his heart as a Catholic," Mr. Caputo said in a telephone interview. "Carl Paladino is not homophobic, and neither is the Catholic Church."
In saying that, he does fully support priests fucking children.
Personally I'm glad when people make these statements, it shows their true feelings and not some view based on trying to win votes. I think the people of New York will see him for the homophobe he truly is and not vote for him.
Not sure how that makes him a pedofile, completely different beast. Turn down your hate-o-meter snow!
He's catholic, that makes him a supporter of the child rapists.
living in the capital region of new york, i 10,000% do not support him. he was caught at a meeting last week having a heated argument with another senator. the other senator had someone at paladino's house video taping his kids or some shit and he was saying that he was going to kick the crap out of the guy. it was all over the news and they showed the video over and over. it was kind of entertaining watching old guys hash it out. if he can't keep his cool over something like that, how is he going to run the state? he's a p.o.s. in my opinion...
Maybe he's just got a lot of sexy kids in his parish, can't fault him for that I guess
And he returned from the mountain and said to them, "thou shalt not tell your parents"?
Absolutely, if you don't take a stand against the catholic church and it's institutionalized child rape, then you do support them. Give me a fucking break.
As psychotic as he is, it's nice (in a weird way) to hear a politician actually say what he stands for instead of the normal, carefully worded doubletalk. I'd never vote for the guy in a million years, but I can respect that he's saying how he feels.
That being said, how long before he gets caught in a mall bathroom blowing a young lad?

Ditch the sausage and pepperoni and use chopped, cooked chicken to on tonight's pizza. Using chicken is easy, economical, and you probably already have some on hand. These recipes feature bright and fresh ingredients to bring all kinds of flavor combinations to life, from barbecue to buffalo, and even some sultry smokey flavors. Pizza night is bound to be a hit with these outstanding pies!
Chicken Pizza
Forget delivery! Serve homemade Chicken Pizza instead. Chicken, sweet Italian sausage, cremini mushrooms, fontina cheese, and sliced red bell pepper are just a few of the ingredients we used to dress this dish up.
BBQ Chicken Pizza with Fresh Mozzarella and Pickled JalapeñosMilky fresh mozzarella tames the bite of tangy peppers atop BBQ Chicken Pizza with Fresh Mozzarella and Pickled Jalapeños.
Smoked Chicken Pizza with White Barbecue Sauce
Enjoy a savory slice of grilled homemade pizza topped with smoked chicken, white barbecue sauce, tomatoes, and cheese.
Barbecue Chicken PizzaLose the bun and move shredded barbecue chicken onto a pizza crust for a tasty fusion of Italian and Tex-Mex flavors.
Cobb Salad Pizza
Add quick-cooking chicken cutlets and refrigerated pizza dough to a mix of fresh vegetables for a light and lovely meal.
Individual White Chicken Pizzas
Cook up as many pizzas as you want tonight and freeze the rest. The key to the deliciousness (and believe us, these cheesy pizzas are amazing) is to make fresh ricotta cheese, which is more moist and creamy than store-bought. It's fast and easy to do in the microwave.
Peach and Gorgonzola Chicken Pizza
Ditch the tomato sauce and give pizza a makeover by topping with chicken, fresh peach slices and Gorgonzola cheese. A drizzle of tangy balsamic reduction provides the perfect balance to the sweet summer fruit.
Quick 'n' Easy Chicken Barbecue PizzaBarbecue chicken is not just for the bun – it's also perfect on top of a pizza crust. Bottled barbecue sauce, a refrigerated crust, and packaged grilled chicken breast strips make this an easy weeknight favorite.
Garlic Chicken PizzaIn about 20 minutes you can serve your family a garlicky-good, three-cheese and chicken pizza that's just as good as what you'd get at a pizza restaurant.
Cuban Chicken PizzaBlack beans, lime juice and cilantro make it Cuban; thin flour tortillas for the crust make it quick.
Chicken Puttanesca PizzaA traditional puttanesca sauce is a spicy mixture or tomatoes, onions, capers, olives, oregano and garlic. For this shortcut version, you just add capers and red peppers to a jarred pasta sauce and spread on a ready-made pizza crust.
Pizza ProvençalThis Mediterranean-inspired pizza features olives, basil, sun-dried tomatoes and goat cheese in addition to the chicken. The toppings are piled on a loaf of Italian bread instead of a pizza crust.
Ratatouille Pizza with ChickenRatatouille is a popular Provencal dish of eggplant, tomatoes, onions, garlic and herbs simmered in olive oil. Here, it's used as a pizza topping instead of plain tomato sauce. Because it's packed with veggies, the sauce makes this pizza a true one-dish meal.
Malaysian Chicken PizzaInstead of a tomato sauce, this pizza is topped with a sweet and spicy peanut sauce. Its out-of-the ordinary Southeast Asia flavor has earned it a 5-star rating from our online reviewers.

Beer might not be the first beverage that comes to mind when you think about Italy. Wine, coffee and even spring water outshine this ancient fermented grain beverage. But quality craft beer production in Italy is thriving and I will be spotlighting the country's best producers at this special event. We will taste beers from top brewers, including LoverBeer, Birrificio Montegioco, Birrificio Barley, Troll and Almond '22. The casual tasting will be interspersed with a discusion about the cultural context of each beer.
Booking is mandatory and space is limited. Cost includes 5 tasting servings, snacks, tax and gratuity. Hope to see you there!

Re: GLOW
I used to stay up late on Saturdays to catch the GLOW/Rollerjam combo...and enjoyed thoroughly. I'd imagine the modern IWC would shit all over that product though.
Re: GLOW
Edit- a feature documentary about GLOW was made last year, looks kinda interesting
Re: GLOW
I've reviewed GLOW on my blog a few times. GLOW's good points also had equal bad points. The characters and segments could be fun, but they also could be bad. The wrestling was mostly awful with only a few like Susie Spirit, Ninotchka and Spanish Red being able to hang. It was different though and some of the girls were good looking.

Khloe Kardashian: Los Angeles Clippers Chick
Opting for an evening of sport, Khloe Kardashian showed up at the Los Angeles Clippers vs. Boston Celtics game in Los Angeles last night (December 27).
The "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" babe cheered on her hunky hubby Lamar Odom as his team trounced the Celtics 106-77.
Meanwhile, Khloe is keen to return to "The X Factor" for another season after enjoying her hosting duties this time around.
She explained, "For me, when I was asked if I wanted to do this, I was so blown away. And the fact that Simon has given me the opportunity — I've never hosted a thing in my life."
"To do something on this magnitude, I'm so honored and blessed and I just love that I've been able to grow through this whole experience. So I've had a phenomenal time. I would love to come back."

Newcastle (13) 16Try: FloodPens: Wilkinson (3) Cons: Wilkinson
Northampton (0) 7 Try: Labit Cons: Spencer
Newcastle finally banished any worries about relegation with a win over Northampton which added to Saints' worries at the foot of the table.
Toby Flood scored the only try of the first half on seven minutes after which Saints had plenty of possession but could not find a way through to score.
Finally, Christian Labit scored for Northampton despite doubts as to whether he was in control of the ball.
Carlos Spencer converted but Jonny Wilkinson's boot made Newcastle safe.
The Falcons are now 12 points clear of Saints, who only have two games left to avoid relegation to National League One.
Two points adrift of Worcester at the bottom, they travel to face play-off chasing Wasps next Sunday, 15 April, before ending their campaign at home to London Irish on 28 April.
Worcester also face the Exiles in Reading next Sunday, with the Warriors' final game at home to Saracens.
"I suppose I'm happy. It lifts a bit of the stress and I suppose we can relax a bit and push on. It will be a good game against Gloucester.
"We looked nervous and lost our shape pretty quickly despite Toby Flood's early try which we should've built on.
"I don't envy the teams at the bottom - a good side will go down this season."
"We shouldn't beat ourselves up and we must put this behind us.
"It's not yet a lost cause, but it'll be tough. Next week we're at Wasps, then it's the Heineken Cup semi-final and we finish at home to London Irish.
"It was a great chance to put pressure on Worcester, but we were up against a side also fighting for their lives and you couldn't expect them to roll over."
Newcastle: Burke; May, Tait, Noon, Flood; Wilkinson Dickson; McDonnell, Thompson, Ward, Sorenson, Perry, Parling, Woods, Wilson.Replacements: Golding, Long, Buist, Dowson, Rudd, Grindal, Crichton.
Northampton: Diggin; Lamont, Reihana (capt), Kydd, Cohen; Spencer, Robinson; Smith, Hartley, Budgen; Gerard, Short; Tupai, Fox, Labit.Replacements: Cortese, Brooks, Browne, Hopley, Howard, Myler, Going.

At least two killers are responsible for dumping remains of several women, a man and a toddler that have been found along a Long Island beach highway, the prosecutor in Suffolk County, N.Y., says.
Authorities have identified a fifth victim, a 20-year-old prostitute whose dismembered torso was found in July 2003 about 40 miles from where her skull, hands and right foot were discovered March 29 near Gilgo Beach along Ocean Parkway, on the island's south shore. Since December, 10 sets of remains have been discovered; five have been identified as women in their 20s who worked as prostitutes.
Newsday and the Long Island Press have details on the revelations today by Suffolk County District Attorney Thomas Spota.

It looks just like Pinterest to me too... I guess there's not privacy settings on pinterest, but other than that it seems the same to me.ReplyDelete
I'd never heard of this. It does look like pinterest but the privacy setting really interests me. I'm always coming across things that I want to pin as presents for Christmas/birthdays etc but I can't because all my gift recipients follow my pinterest account! I can use this for my 'gift board' now. Thanks for the heads up.ReplyDelete

Agreed! I wish I could private pin on Pinterest. I think this one might make it easier to keep articles and things too, not just pictures, but I'm not sure.ReplyDelete
- Christine H.February 23, 2012 at 1:23 PM
At first I thought "Pinterest clone" too, but I was intrigued by the privacy settings so I checked it out... and got totally hooked! I really like the privacy and the fact that it's not just images. If I want to save an article or even a word doc or PDF I can just type a couple of words to appear where the image would be. Sometimes this is even more useful than an image is at jogging my memory and reminding me why I saved something.ReplyDelete

took a look at the "new" frame with the dimple in the lower left corner .. not that convinced by it .. but i feel i need to see it on my screen to make a better decision about it
however i might have a proposition that might be a better idea and would use both your frameset's
what if we ditch the whole little thing in the lower corner since it kind of sticks out like a sore thumb when everything else about the skin and frame's now are very slick and instead have the "white" frame's for movies that are watched and the "black" frames for non-watched (or vice-versa doesn't really matter)

During the mourning period for North Korean dictator Kim Jong-il, the country's citizens were shown experiencing loud, and theatrical shows of sorrow. (

However, it seems that not everyone's sorrow was quite up to the standards of the isolated regime. According to a report in South Korea's NK Daily newspaper, people who just didn't feel spontaneously sad enough are
Daily NK learned from a source from North Hamkyung Province on January 10th, "The authorities are handing down at least six months in a labor-training camp to anybody who didn't participate in the organized gatherings during the mourning period, or who did participate but didn't cry and didn't seem genuine." Furthermore, the source added that people who are accused of circulating rumors criticizing the country's 3rd generation dynastic system are also being sent to re-education camps or being banished with their families to remote rural areas.

Citrus is in season right now and lemon tarts, a perennial Parisian favorite, are in abundance at pâtisseries all over town. Because your time – and calories – shouldn't be wasted on mediocre pastry, we organized a panel to blind taste and identify the best tarte au citron.
Five Great Lemon Tarts
Our #1 favorite comes from MOF pastry chef Arnaud Larher.
Lemon tarts from Sébastien Gaudard, Sadaharu Aoki, and Jacques Genin all ranked highly, with more #1 votes than the tart from Arnaud Lahrer. However, those tarts were more divisive, and dissenting votes brought down their overall scores. The meringue topped tart from Larher had very high marks – if not always the highest – and that accounts for the upset victory.
Almost all the judges were surprised by the big win from Larher, but it was consistently rated across the board for good lemon flavor, buttery crust, and an appealing top hat of meringue.
Gaudard's brightly flavored lemon curd was excellent, even if a bit messy and loose. One judge lauded it for its "soft, strong lemon taste" and another found it had "the best crust to date."
The elegant presentation, balanced lemon flavor and crunchy crust made this a favorite of one judge who said "I thought Aoki nailed it pretty well." Another said there was "a grittiness to the crust, but I liked it" while others found it a little two sweet.
4. La Pâtisserie by Cyril Lignac
This outside the box lemon tart, inside of a box, was mostly well-received. One judge noted its "well-balanced flavor but not very useful meringue as there's too much bitterness." Another raved about the drops of lemon emulsion between the small peaks of curd.
This made-to-order lemon tart was a favorite of the PbM editorial team (both our Editor-in-Chief and Assistant Editor ranked it as their top pick) but one judge wrote "I was disappointed. It wasn't as subtle as in my memories, compared to the others." Opinions were divided about the incorporation of lime zest and basil – one judge declared that it "smells amazing, like pure spring!" and another felt these overshadowed the lemon.
We also tasted and ranked the following:
6. Blé Sucré
The tiniest of the tarts had an eggier consistency and rustic crust. It was solidly liked by the judges who declared "tart but not too sweet" and "wow so much lemon!" but found the crust a little too thick.
The well-cooked crust was generally a hit, and judges noted the balanced acidity of this silver topped tart. One declared the curd "a little artificial tasting."
8. Carette
The texture of the curd was generally applauded but judges were divided on the intensity of the lemon flavor. One found it "quite strong and very fruity" while another declared it "one note." Several judges noted that the crust was a little too thin.
9. Pierre Hermé
Judges were surprised that the "Picasso of Pastry" didn't perform better. The presentation was stunning, but the darker crust overpowered the too subtle "milky tasting" lemon tart with "acrid" candied lemon on top.
The whimsical lime scented meringue cap was striking, but ultimately overwhelmed the lemon curd which one judge declared "too mellow".
11. Ladurée
This was another surprise– Ladurée actually exceeded most of the judge's expectations and performed much better than anticipated despite an eggy and sweet curd. The "well cooked crust" was a hit, but one wondered if it was "too buttery?!" Another found the texture too loose and the glaze too old-fashioned.
12. Hugo & Victor
The crunchy meringue peaks were captivating, but contributed to the judges' unanimous declaration that the tart was "too sweet". The thin lemon curd to thick crust ratio was another drawback, with one judge stating it was "too candy like."
The sablé crust was given demerits for being "overly thick and sandy", "too buttery" and "dry and tasteless." The lemon cream lacked intensity and was "not bright or acidic enough".
14. Stéphane Secco
Judges liked the buttery crust and all-natural look of the tart with the inclusion of the candied rind and seeds, but were put off by the harsh, abrasive lemon flavor that one described as "really acrid and inedible." Another loved it and was "quite sad for Secco's tart, which was so powerful in lemon and acidity."
One of the most visually distinctive tarts, the dominant flavor was not lemon but overwhelming vanilla flavor from the shortbread-like crust. Descriptors included: "rubbery", "artificial", and "synthetic tasting". One judge will "definitely stay clear!"
16. Helmut Newcake
This gluten-free tart put up a good fight against its carbo-loaded brethren, but just didn't have the same crisp texture and buttery flavor sans flour. "Too crumbly" came up in several comments. The overly sweet lemon flavor and curd to crust ratio could have been improved as well. Note: it wasn't penalized for the unfortunate squishing it received in transport. Several judges noted the "nice meringue."
The Process
We asked for your recommendations on Facebook and Twitter (thanks!) and sought the opinions of trusted French pastry experts and Contributing Editors Dorie Greenspan, Patricia Wells, and Camille Malmquist about what makes a quality tarte au citron.
It's not an easy pastry by any means. As Dorie Greenspan explains "Lemon tarts are tricky business. Almost by definition the filling must be puckery tart and scream lemon, but the line between tart and bitter is a fine one, and so the fruit's bite has to be tempered by just the right amount of sugar. And there needs to be butter, too – butter to thicken and smooth the texture and to make the lemon flavor last and last… As important as the filling is the crust – it's not just something to hold the filling in place. The crust should be golden brown… and thick enough to play crunch-and-crumb to the velvety smoothness of the filling."
Patricia Wells feels "a good chocolate tart and lemon tart are two of the most essential pastries in the world… To my mind, the ideal lemon tart has a truly crunchy crust that will contrast perfectly with a bright-flavored, tart lemon curd."
Camille Malmquist explained that for the best lemon tart "You want [a crust that is] thin and crisp, but it needs to support and balance the lemon flavor, while also contrasting the texture of the curd. The curd should be very smooth with no graininess at all. Obviously, you want really good lemon flavor. That's the most important thing…"
The Judging Parameters
To that end, our score sheet was divided into five components with the most weight being given to pure lemon flavor, above all other criteria.
- Lemon Flavor
- Texture of Lemon Curd
- Flavor & Texture of Crust
- Flavor Enhancements
- Aesthetic Embellishments
Judges tasted each tart blindly and were asked to tally up their scores, then rank each tart accordingly.
The Judges
Many thanks to our panel of judges that included:
- Anne-Laure Pham, Editor in Chief of Zeste Magazine
- David Lebovitz, Pastry chef and Author of a popular blog and several books including My Paris Kitchen, Ready for Dessert, The Sweet Life in Paris, and The Perfect Scoop

401(k) Thoughts
In the Fool's section on 401(k)s they recommend that those early in their career jump into this retirement vehicle. The reasons, in a nutshell, include:
1. You won't miss the money -- it just won't be in your wallet to waste!
2. The employer match -- you must take the free money!
3. It pays to start now, because time is on your side, youngster.
I thought I'd add some hard-earned wisdom to that already provided.
Ignore Safety: Get in that plan and ignore the safety of bonds, and money markets. As a young person, you have years to ride the ups and downs of the stock market -- but the trend in stocks is way up compared to the bonds and money markets.
Take it With You: You may think you've got a deal for life with your employer, but sooner or later you're going to go. And when you leave, take it all with you! It's a pain with the paperwork, notarization, and rules -- but it's the time to get out of the underperforming plan funds and put the money to work! You can take the 401(k) money and roll it directly into a self directed IRA with most any reasonable brokerage. Now you choose what to do with the money.
Invest Foolishly: Wow. Now you've got the money. Spend some time at The Motley Fool, buy a book or two by the Gardner guys (or check it out at the library), and get some solid portfolios of your choosing to work for you. You're here looking, so you already know that you can beat 90% of the funds out there without much effort. So get to work -- or at least get your money to work.
Retire Early: There's not much to say here. Fill in the blanks with your own dreams.
