Cuisine: French, patisserie
Location: Mt Lawley
Given I love pastries, I stumbled upon this place while my cousin and I were searching for a restaurant to go out to for a birthday. French restaurants in particular. Now this place isn't a restaurant but a café with it's specialities in pastries. Located along Beaufort St in Mt Lawley, we decided to try a coffee and chocolate éclair just to test the waters. After splitting in half to share, the coffee éclair had a nice pastry but the coffee cream wasn't all that intense. The chocolate éclair, however, was like a taste of heaven! On that basis after enjoying each morsel of the éclair, we selected a bunch of other pastries and divided them up amongst family to share. They are excellent. Fresh, tasty and the fillings are lovely. I have since gone back a few times and it has been just as delicious, however, the last time I ate their chocolate éclairs, it wasn't all that good so I'm not sure what happened there.
Verdict: If you love to indulge in French pasties every so often, try this place out.
Price: Bargain
Taste: Delicious
Value: Reasonable, a bit pricey but then you're not having these everyday so spoil yourself
Recommendation: Highly Recommend

Volunteers and Donations Needed For Baja Dog Rescue
Baja Dog Rescue is a 501c(3) non-profit organization that is run by a group of dedicated volunteers in the Baja California area. We rescue and rehabilitate unwanted, abandoned and neglected dogs and find them loving happy homes; we literally give them a second chance at life. Baja Dog Rescue was formed for the purpose of saving the lives of homeless dogs. We love animals and want to help save the lives of homeless dogs, to find responsible individuals to take in and care for homeless dogs, and work for the humane treatment, adoption, rescue and care of dogs.
Interested on donating or volunteering? Call 619-407-9372 or email: email@example.com or firstname.lastname@example.com
You can mail donations to:
Baja Dog Rescue
P.O. Box 437920
San Ysidro, CA 92173
What is Baja Dog Rescue:
• Is an active member of a regional coalition of animal rescue organizations that serve to create a no kill zone. This means that we do not euthanize healthy animals to control population. We advocate humane spay / neuter programs for population control and to reduce cruelty that arises from over population and stray animals. Our organization provides educational as well as spay/neuter, medical and rescue services. Baja Dog Rescue spays/neuters all adult animals in our care.
• Maintains rehabilitation services that include emergency medical care (for example, from gun wounds, abuse injuries, car strikes, cancer), medicine for chronic conditions (like parasites and endemic dog diseases), food and nutritional supplements to rebuild health and overcome starvation syndromes. When the animals are fully recovered, healthy, and free of behavioral problems, we put them through an adoption network and helps them to join new families. We supplement this effort through an affiliate network of foster homes. Adopters are required to sign a humane treatment agreement. Our organization takes back dogs if adopters don't uphold the agreement.
• Provides permanent sanctuary to dogs that are unadoptable due to severity of trauma.
• Provides consultation and a support network to anyone needing assistance with rescue/rehab work.
• Focuses 100% of efforts on street rescues. These dogs are the worst-case scenarios and would have a 0% chance of survival without our efforts.
• Maintain a medical staff on hand and a network of vets to administer, diagnosis, and treat dogs that are rescued through us.
• Maintains a website at www.bajadogrescue.org where the public can read about us, view our adoptable dogs and apply for potential adoption. Baja Dog Rescue is also listed on Petfinder.com, Adopt-A-Pet, and Rescuegroups.org with our adoptable dogs.
• Partnered with Petco Unleashed to facilitate weekly adoption events to find our adoptable dogs loving homes.
• Serves the Southern California area including San Diego County, Orange County & Los Angeles County.
• Current facility is comprised of 45,000 sq ft with 4 buildings, which represent about 11, 650 sq ft all used for housing for the dogs we rescue.

Last month, ASUS went all guns blazing with its socket LGA2011 "Sandy Bridge-E" motherboard lineup, with all three of its major brands: ROG Rampage, TUF Sabertooth, and its mainline P9X79 series. The ROG Rampage series included just one model, the top-end Rampage IV Extreme, with Rampage IV Formula and a then 'possible' Rampage IV Gene slated for later. We now know the Gene is not just possible, but a reality. It was detailed in a channel partner presentation by ASUS.
The Rampage IV Gene is a micro-ATX form-factor motherboard based on the Intel X79 chipset, supporting Core i7 processors in the LGA2011 package. It aims to give you everything the X79 platform can, 3-way SLI and CrossfireX included. The top half of the board is laid out like any other X79 motherboard. The LGA2011 socket sits in between two sets of DDR3 DIMM slots with two slots each, supporting quad-channel DDR3 memory, with speeds of up to DDR3-2400 MHz by overclocking.
Despite severe space constrains of the micro-ATX form-factor, ASUS did not compromise on the power delivery one bit. The CPU is powered by an 8-phase Extreme Engine Digi+ II VRM with at least 8 phases, and 4-phase memory VRM, cooled by a robust heatsink set that makes use of a heat pipe to spread the heat around. To the right side of the socket is the OC Zone, which gives you consolidated voltage measurement points, onboard OC control buttons; phase LEDs, and POST code readout.
The expansion slot area completely does away with ye olde PCI slots, it consists of three PCI-Express Gen 3.0 x16 slots, and an open-ended PCI-Express 2.0 x4 slot wired to the X79 PCH. Among the long slots, the top two are x16 capable, while the bottommost one runs at x8 speed at all times. In terms of SATA connectivity, the Rampage IV Gene gives you a total of 7 internal ports and one eSATA. Among these six internal ports (red) are SATA 6 Gb/s, two from the X79 PCH and two from an ASMedia-made SATA 6G controller; three internal ports (black) are SATA 3 Gb/s wired to the PCH. The eSATA port is wired to the PCH, and runs at 3 Gb/s speed.
ASUS implemented its SupremeFX III audio solution, which can also be found on the Rampage IV Formula. It uses a high-SNR HD audio CODEC (probably ALC898 for all we know), sitting on a tiny PCB that's laid on top of the board's main PCB. This isolates the CODEC from the ground layer of the main PCB. In conjunction with a 1500 uF capacitor, this design eliminates background electrical noises typically associated with onboard audio solutions. To top it all off, the 8+2 channel CODEC is backed by Creative X-Fi MB software that provides EAX 5.0 HD, X-Fi Crystalizer, CMSS-3D, and THX TruStudio Pro.
Other connectivity features include an Intel-made GbE connection, four USB 3.0 ports (two on the rear-panel, two via standard USB 3.0 header), a number of USB 2.0 ports, and a PS/2 keyboard/mouse combo port. PS/2 is still indispensable, as PS/2 keyboards are free from ghosting and rollback flaws associated with USB keyboards. This board includes several ROG exclusive features such as ROG Connect, ROG GameFirst, USB BIOS Flashback, etc. The board is driven by ASUS UEFI BIOS firmware. Unfortunately, we don't have a specific release date.

EPA's Report on the Environment
Non-Indigenous Benthic Species in the Estuaries of the Pacific Northwest
Non-Indigenous Benthic Species in the Estuaries of the Pacific Northwest
Non-indigenous species (NIS) are one of the greatest threats to aquatic ecosystems and can impact local and regional economies (Lowe et al., 2000). The number of invasive species in estuaries of the Pacific Northwest (including Puget Sound, Columbia Estuary, and Coos Bay) is rising, and these areas can become sources of invasives to other locales. Coastal waters are particularly vulnerable to NIS transported in ballast water and introduced via aquaculture (Puget Sound Action Team, 2002). It is becoming apparent that NIS are capable of impacting estuaries along the Pacific coast, even though they are rarely addressed in routine monitoring studies. One limitation is the lack of standardized invasion metrics and threshold values.
This indicator focuses on estuarine soft-bottom communities of the Columbian Biogeographic Province located along the Pacific coast from Cape Mendocino, California, north to the Strait of Juan de Fuca at the entrance to Puget Sound, Washington. It is limited to sites with salinities of 5 parts per thousand or higher. The indicator is based on the percent abundance of NIS individuals relative to the combined abundance of native and NIS individuals in a benthic grab sample.
The data for this indicator were collected by EPA's Environmental Monitoring and Assessment Program (EMAP) using a probability survey over the 1999-2001 period (Nelson et al., 2004, 2005) and by a special probabilistic study focusing on estuaries not exposed to ballast water or aquaculture. Probability sampling provides unbiased estimates of the percent abundance of natives and NIS in all estuaries in the study area, but because the data for the special study have not yet been statistically expanded, data for this indicator are based on stations sampled rather than area.
Interpretation of this indicator requires threshold values to distinguish among different levels of invasion. To determine the lowest expected level of invasion within the Columbian Biogeographic Province, EPA examined the extent of invasion in estuaries with minimal exposure to ballast water discharges and aquaculture of exotic oysters, which are the primary invasion vectors in the region. Using observed percentages of NIS at the minimally exposed estuaries as a reference, the threshold for "minimally invaded" survey sites was set at 10 percent NIS (i.e., sites were classified as minimally invaded if NIS constituted 0 to 10 percent of the individuals collected). Survey sites were classified as "highly invaded" if NIS were more abundant than native species (more than 50 percent NIS) and as "moderately invaded" if NIS constituted 10 to 50 percent of the individuals.
What the Data Show
Approximately 15 percent of the stations in the Columbian Province were highly invaded (i.e., abundance of NIS was greater than abundance of natives) and another 20 percent were moderately invaded (Exhibit 1). The EMAP survey showed that NIS were among the most frequently occurring anthropogenic stressors in this biogeographic region when compared to indicators of sediment contamination or eutrophication (Nelson et al., 2004).
The extent of invasion was not uniform, however, among exposed and minimally exposed estuaries. Estuaries with greater exposure to these invasion vectors were more invaded; 44 percent of the stations in the exposed estuaries were moderately to highly invaded compared to only 21 percent of the stations in minimally exposed estuaries (Exhibit 1). Nonetheless, the observation that 21 percent of the stations in these "pristine" estuaries were at least moderately invaded indicates that NIS can disperse widely once they are introduced into a region, so even estuaries with no direct exposure to ballast water or aquaculture are at risk of invasion.
This indicator presents baseline data only; trend information is not yet available.
Studies in the San Francisco Estuary (Lee et al., 2003) and in Willapa Bay, Washington (Ferraro and Cole, in progress) have shown that the percent of NIS can vary substantially among different types of soft-bottom communities—e.g., unvegetated sediment versus sea grass beds. Thus, regional background values for the Columbian Province as a whole may not be appropriate for specific community types.
This indicator represents percent NIS in individual benthic grabs of the soft-bottom community, but does not characterize the total number of NIS in the estuaries. It does not include benthic NIS not subject to grab sampling, particularly hard substrate organisms.
The data for the indicator were only collected during a summer index period and thus do not capture seasonal variations.
- The threshold values for "minimally invaded," "moderately invaded," and "highly invaded" are preliminary and require further research in order to establish their ecological significance. Specific values may differ in other biogeographic provinces.
Data Sources
Data for this indicator were collected by two different studies: EPA's National Coastal Assessment (NCA) and a special EPA study of minimally exposed estuaries. The complete results from these studies were not publicly available at the time this report went to press, but summary data from the 1999 NCA are available from Nelson et al. (2004, 2005), and the underlying sampling data can be obtained from EPA's NCA database (U.S. EPA, 2007) (https://www.epa.gov/national-aquatic-resource-surveys/data-national-aquatic-resource-surveys). Results from the special study of minimally exposed estuaries will be published in the near future. Until then, data for this indicator can be obtained from EPA's Western Ecology Division (U.S. EPA, 2006).

Portadown boss Ronnie McFall insists he's not set to follow Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson's lead by retiring
Ronnie McFall has always looked up to Sir Alex Ferguson.
There are many similarities between the two men as well.
McFall was appointed as Portadown manager in December 1986, a month after Ferguson joined Manchester United.
In April 1990 the Ports won the Irish League title for the first time and within a fortnight Sir Alex won his first trophy as Old Trafford boss when United won the FA Cup.
The Shamrock Park chief won't, however, be copying the former Manchester United manager by stepping down from his post when his contract expires at the end of the season.
"I won't be doing that. Definitely not," said McFall, ahead of Saturday's Danske Bank Premiership opener at home to Linfield.
"People talk and speculate about these things, but that's not part of my plans."
Instead McFall, who like Ferguson has led his club to unprecedented success in almost 27 years at the helm, wants even more silverware.
Last season was a major disappointment for the Ports. They failed to make the top six in the league and missed out on a place in the Irish Cup final when they lost to Glentoran in the last four.
The additions of Emmet Friars at the back and little-known Dublin-born winger Peter McMahon in midfield have added strength and creativity to the squad.
Keith O'Hara and Tim Mouncey have returned to fitness and youngster Matthew Padget is working his way back after a double bout of knee surgery.
Add to that the pre-season form of striker Gary Twigg.
Expectations were high when the Scotsman scored on his debut back in January, but he hasn't yet knocked in the goals with the same regularity he did at Shamrock Rovers.
Having come off a full season in the League of Ireland when he joined the Ports, he has benefited from the summer break and defences in the Premiership should beware.
"The players have worked hard in pre-season. It has been tough for them, but they have applied themselves and there's a passion and a freshness that wasn't there last year," said McFall.
"There were too many players who never fulfiled their potential last season and only a few played to their capabilities.
"I am looking for a response from them and I have seen a hunger in the players during pre-season that tells me they want to respond.
"It was hard for Gary Twigg last season coming in half way through and then he picked up an injury.
"He is a quality player and I am expecting him to score a lot of goals this season.
"After last season the top six should be the minimum requirement for us this time."
As far as his own expectations and targets are concerned McFall – as usual – is keeping things simple.
"Win the first match. I'm not looking any further than that at this stage," he said. Sympatsdklj High expectations: Gary Twigg needs to step up and deliver the goods for Portadown this season

Preformed enamel lesions were exposed to partially-saturated lactic acid solutions with varying fluoride concentrations (0.0 ppm, 0.1 ppm, 0.5 ppm, 1.5 ppm, and 4.0 ppm) and pH levels (4.9, 5.2, and 5.5). The average fluorescence loss was monitored for 11 days. Then, the enamel lesions were demineralized in a partially-saturated acetic acid solution for 2 periods of 24 hours each. The lesions in the plaque fluid of a 4.0-ppm fluoride concentration and a 5.5-pH level were found to show the most remineralization after 11 days and the most demineralization after exposure to acetic acid. Increasing the fluoride concentration resulted in more remineralization regardless of the pH level, and increasing the pH level resulted in more remineralization. The lesions exposed to no fluoride showed no remineralization regardless of the pH level. The study found that fluoride had a stronger effect on remineralization and net mineral change than pH.

Ohio courts may grant one spouse support at divorce if there is disparity between the parties or there is another reason to do so. The court will look at the circumstances surrounding the parties and determine all support awards on a case-by-case basis.
Types of Spousal Support
- Temporary – a temporary award of alimony prior to the final dissolution.
- Short-Term – an award of alimony for a limited period of time, often granted to allow one spouse the opportunity to gain new skills.
- Long-Term or Permanent – an award of alimony for a long period of time.
Who is Eligible for Alimony in Ohio
The court may grant spousal support to either party to a divorce. The needs of the parties and the below factors will be utilized by the court to determine what is just.
Ohio Alimony Guidelines (Factors for Awarding Alimony)
An Ohio court will look at the following factors to decide whether to grant alimony in a case:
- Income and earning abilities;
- Ages and conditions of the parties;
- Retirement benefits of the parties;
- Duration of the marriage;
- Appropriateness of a custodial parent seeking employment;
- Standard of living established during marriage;
- Education, assets and liabilities of the parties;
- Contribution of each party to education, training, or earning potential of the other party;
- Time and expense necessary for the spouse seeking support to acquire education, training, or job experience so that the spouse will be qualified to obtain employment;
- Tax consequences;
- Lost income due to marital responsibilities; and
- Any other considerations the court finds to be relevant.
Reasons for Termination or Modification of Alimony in Ohio
The following circumstances may be grounds for modification or termination of spousal support:
- Altered economic conditions;
- Remarriage of support recipient;
- Death;
- Entering into a relationship in another state that would constitute a valid marriage in Ohio;
- Cohabitation in some situations; and
- Retirement.
The court has discretion to hear petitions for modification. Other grounds may also be considered.
Marital Fault in Ohio
Ohio allows the following grounds for divorce:
- Incompatibility, unless contested by either party;
- Living separately for at least one year;
- Desertion for at least one year;
- Bigamy by either party;
- Adultery;
- Extreme cruelty;
- Fraudulent contract;
- Gross neglect of a marital duty;
- Habitual drunkenness; or
- Imprisonment.
How Long Does Spousal Support Last in Ohio?
Spousal support can be for a specified length of time, continue indefinitely, or be ordered to terminate upon the occurrence of an event. The court has discretion in making the determination of how long support is to last.
Ohio Alimony Taxes
Alimony is claimable as a federal income tax deduction by the paying spouse. Likewise, the payee spouse is to claim alimony as income. An attorney can advise you of your rights and the best way to structure your alimony for tax purposes.
Find an Alimony Attorney in Ohio
To protect your assets and your rights during divorce, it is best to discuss your situation with a knowledgeable attorney. An Ohio family law attorney will help you sort out the complexities of the legal process, protect your assets and guide you through the paperwork.

Differences from Normal High School Programs
The CVGS program differs from normal high school programs in three ways:
1) Intensive research and laboratory program
At the inception of the program, the faculty felt that one of the best ways students could prepare for future academic endeavors was to learn basic research skills. Hence, a year-long research course was developed. In the course, each CVGS student designs and implements a research project on a topic of the student's choice. Results are reported via a major paper, the Internet, a local research symposium, science fairs and state and national research symposiums.
All science classes emphasize learning content through laboratory work and the development of laboratory skills.
2) Technology infused throughout the curriculum
The development of technical skill is important for all students, and this process takes time. Hence, CVGS students use technologies in every class to collect and analyze data, to explore properties of equations, to develop web pages and presentations, to explore robotics and high speed photography and in numerous other ways. The CVGS faculty uses technology in three categories: to increase productivity, to expose students to emerging technologies, and to enhance the learning environment.
3) Active learning environment
The curriculum is designed to challenge gifted students and actively engage them in the learning process. Emphasis is placed on teachers acting as mentors with students learning through projects, laboratory work and group experiences. Problem solving and the development of critical thinking skills are stressed.

Ask Mac Questions and Get Answers from Experts ASAP
The power adaptor seems in good condition. The problem persists regardless of whether the power supply is connected or not.
I pressed the shift+control+option+power key and the power lead connector birefly turned from orange to green. I then released all keys at the same time. I then pressed the power key and it powered up. The same problem occures:
It powers up, the screen goes white with the apple logo, the whirling timer icon spins away for about 2 mins then it shuts down. I was working perfectly prior to when I last shut it down...
Hi Terry
The problem first occured while the power lead was connected. It is generally always connected so the power is generally full or close to it.
In regard to Option 1: I have now tried the shift+control+option+power reset with both the power connected and disconnected. The result is the same; when the power key is then subsequently pressed the machine does the same thing.
In regard to Option 2: Terry, you sound like you know your stuff and are quite expert. Now it's my turn to reveal my skills... I do not have the start up disk and do not know where it is. I hope it is in the office but I will have to have a good root around. I know they are important but I never think I will need them. So, I am the dummy in this deal.
I have the machelp order number.If I can find the disk then I will log back on and get further help along the lines you suggest.
If I cannot find the start up disk, what are my options? (Apart from buying new macbook pro and keeping the disk that comes with that!!)
Please advise, and accept my apologies for being beyond help!
Kind Regards.... Iain
Things have happened, but it dont look good.
Below is an exact copy of what now appears on the mac screen following the command: /sbin/fsck -fy
** /dev/rdisk0s2
** root file system
** checking journaled HFS Plus volume
** checking events overflow file
** checking catalogue file

** Rebuilding catalogue B-tree
** The volume Macintosh HD could not be repaired

SORRY TO BE LONGWINDED, but thought this all might be important.
I have left it as is, just staring at me all angry ;o)

steps to installing main bearings?
this is my first build and i just got the block and crank back from the shop after having the block honed w/torque plate, clearances checked, crank polished as well as the rotating *** balanced. amoungst other things. said standard size bearings would be fine (newer vortec block). just wanted to make sure i do this right. any suggestions more than welcome.
yes or no:
1. light assm lube on crank journal and bottom bearing
2. set crank in, light assm lube on top
3. set in plasigauge light lube on top bearing and cap
4. torque cap down
5. take back apart and check plasigauge for .002-.0022 clearence.
6. if checks out. assemble?
is this pretty much the same for the rod bearings as well?
Assemble your bearing shells in their "home." First make sure you wipe down the saddles AND bearings with a solvent on a lint-free rag. That is very important. I like to wipe them down with acetone on a shop towel, then blast them quickly with brake parts cleaner. The brake parts cleaner evaporates completely leaving nothing behind, and it also rinses off any possibility of lint. I also like to use a plastic mallet to tap the bearings into place from the ends. Avoid smooshing them in by just pushing down on the center with your thumb. They could deform.
Lay the crank in dry to check with plastigage. The whole point is to measure the clearance without anything in the way.
Then when you have satisfied yourself on clearances, re-clean. Assemble the bearings in their saddles dry to make sure they seat, but then liberally coat the bearing surfaces and journals with engine oil for assembly. Assembly lube should only be used on direct frictive surfaces like flat cam lobes, rocker arm ends, and lifter bases. Here's why: the journals of the crank are lubed by oil under pressure. The journals are suspended between a pressurized layer of oil. That is why you are checking it with plastigage; too much clearance and the oil can squish out too fast. Not enough clearance and the oil won't be able to get in there fast enough. If you go slathering thick assembly lube in there, you will be preventing the even distribution of oil during the critical startup. The other big reason not to use assembly lube on crank journals is because most assembly lube contains lubricant particles that are caught in the filter. Excessive use of assembly lube can pretty quickly clog the filter which causes it to bypass. The WORST time for a filter to bypass is during initial start up when there are potentially tons of metal shavings in the engine.
On a flat-cam engine, I use assembly lube on the cam lobes, lifter bases, pushrod ends, and rocker arm tips. On a roller cam engine, I skip the lifters and lobes. Use it where you need it, but nowhere else. The journals do not need assembly lube... especially because you're going to prime the oil pump before you start it anyway, which will fill the journal gaps with fresh oil and flush out half of the assembly lube anyway.
So, to answer your questions:
1. light assm lube on crank journal and bottom bearing: No. Dry until you plastigage
2. set crank in, light assm lube on top: No, keep it dry
3. set in plasigauge light lube on top bearing and cap: Dry.
4. torque cap down: Yup. Make sure you don't draw the cap down by torquing it. Seat it with a deadblow mallet. I've seen too many that were drawn down against the cap shoulder and cracked.
5. take back apart and check plasigauge for .002-.0022 clearence: Yup
6. if checks out. assemble?: Yup... assemble the bearings in their saddles dry and lint-free. Then put the crank in place with engine oil on the bearings and journals. Torque it home.
Last edited by curtis73; 02-23-2009 at 10:18 PM.
thank you so much, i've been looking all over for just this. is .002-.0022 correct? also do you have a recomendation for type/weight of oil to use?
I'm fixing to do a first build also, What would be the next step...? check crankshaft endplay...? I also heard it was a good idea to torque the the thrust cap with the oil pump in place....?
Before you set your crank don't forget to give it a good cleaning. Use a rifle cleaning type bush and solvent to get all the oil passages then use your air gun to blow it out. I assume your block is spotless, right?
of course, still sealed in the bag the shop puts them in. i have a factory roller so is there a need for me to check endplay?
The chances that endplay would be off are slim... but its so easy to check that it can't hurt.
use a light dab of silicone at the edge of main cap from seal to where oil pan seal goes .
when your satisfied , your a pro .
oil only on them bearings as stated earlier .
i put lucas mix with oil on everything
the main caps and rod bolts should be oiled , and where the nut goes against cap on rods .
the underside of the main bolts and the treads .
this to insure accurate torque of them .
Use 10w30. That should be spot on. Shoot for 15-20 psi at hot idle, and never more than 70-80 psi.
- Install the main bearings into the block, check for oil hole alignment. The way I do this is apply Prussian Blue around the oil hole in the saddle, install the bearing shell, remove the shell look at the imprint on the saddle's oil hole versus that in the shell. If there is a mismatch using a high speed grinder reshape the shell to match the saddle's oil hole location. With a fine Jeweler's file remove any burrs. This insures that the oil is being delivered to the bearing in a full amount and the backside of the shell isn't being pressurized.
- Mark the location of each shell for the saddle it resides in, I use an electric engraver on the back of the shell with a light sanding with fine 400/600 wet dry paper to make sure there's no raised burrs.
- Clean everything in the saddles and shells with a high energy solvent like lacquer thinner or brake cleaner and a lint free rag.
- Install the upper shells into the saddles they're marked for.
- Set the crank in place and apply a strip of Plastigage on the journals. Install the bearing shells with the caps. Lubricate the bolt threads with the appropriate lube and torque them up. I've assumed that you've cleaned the threads in the block with the proper tool which isn't a tap. Use something like this http://www.stefs.com/bandb/products/...ningtapset.htm
- Remove the main caps and measure the clearance by journal with the Plasigage gauge.
- If everything is in order, continue to the next step, which is properly installing the thrust bearing. You'd be surprised how many guys miss this, most probably get buy but a few don't and those that don't find it an expensive error.
- First, set the thrust bearing into place and torque up the cap, inspect the mating point between the upper and lower halves. This must be smooth with no offset, an offset will wipe the lube out and ruin the bearing and the crank. Undo the thrust main and install the mains into their saddles.
- Reinstall the mains but this time with assembly lube as we are going to be rotating and skating the crank about. Drop in the crank and loosely install the main caps. You will need a big pry suitable for moving the crank fore and aft in its bearings. Bring all the cap bolts up to 5-10 foot pounds moving the crank against its fore and aft limits with the pry. Continue this till the mains are torqued up.
- With a bright light inspect the fit between the upper and lower thrust halves. Assuming this is still good, measure the gap for proper thrust clearance.
If all of this is within spec, you can continue to rod installation. The rod bearings are installed the same way as the crank mains but since the crank has to be rotated for access to the rod fasteners, the pistons and rods are assembled in pairs by journal.
- Assemble dry with Plastigage, torque the fasteners, check the side clearance, disassemble and check the Plastigage clearance.
- Clean, then lube and reassemble, then continue on to the next pair and repeat the process.
Make certain you have the correct size bearings... given the steps here, I did not check the bearings and "assumed" they were at least close to correct. "NOT" they were way out by like .030 and when I went to plastigauge and torque... I broke my bearing blocks!
either wet fit or mic to make certain they are at least the correct bearings prior to any torqueing!
see my post here :

Trenton Dog Owners Deny Running Puppy Mill
Published January 18th, 2014
Loading Video...
LEVY COUNTY- Two of the three people accused of animal cruelty and neglect in Trenton told TV20 the allegations are simply not true.
Susan Stocum, who was accused of animal cruelty said, "The dogs are fed, we have plenty of food. We have the flea stuff, we give them baths." Stocum and her daughter, Kathy Thomas, live with another roommate, William Rice, who was also accused. Until Thursday, they shared their home with 60 dogs.
Thomas said, "Maybe there was too many dogs but they never gave us a chance to clean the house up, or find homes for some of the dogs. They never gave us a chance." Both mother and daughter deny running a puppy mill and say most of the dogs are long time pets except for recently born puppies.
On Thursday, all the dogs were taken from their home by Levy County Sheriff's deputies. Levy County Sheriff's Office Spokesman Scott Tummond said, "We have multiple cases of animal cruelty and animal neglect."
As of Thursday, most of the dogs are being kept at Levy County Animal Services. Deputies say many of the dogs were found in very poor condition. Tummond said, "Animals are required to have adequate space, adequate food, adequate water, and adequate care. All of those conditions are not being met in the home behind me."
Deputies are still investigating all three dog owners but say there is evidence the dogs were not just household pets. Tummond said, "My understanding is that the dogs that were being bred out of this location were being offered for sale at various locations some were out of this county and some were being offered for sale out of the home."
Until the investigation is through the dogs will have to stay at Animal Services. Deputies say once they decide to file formal charges, Animal Services will begin to look for homes for the dogs.

Splitting the Bill
Problem: The check arrives, and while you had a salad, everyone else had steak.
Solution: If there's just a few dollars' difference, consider splitting the bill evenly. If you're really in a money crunch―or the house wine you had doesn't exactly compare with the three $100 bottles the rest of the group shared―just say up front, "We're all paying for our own meals and drinks, right?" Make it plain and simple. If it's a large group, you can also ask your server for a separate check when you order. Most restaurants have software systems that can easily print multiple checks. If you don't get a separate check and one of the pricey wine drinkers moves to split the bill evenly, it's OK to be pleasantly assertive, says Post: "Try, 'Hey, guys, I figure $30 will cover my meal, glass of wine, tax, and tip. Can I throw that in and let you split the rest?'" Your message is clear ("I owe less"), but it's not the least bit confrontational.

Deron Williams, the All-Star point guard doesn't want to address the topic of doubtless playing in his hometown on an enduring basis during this trip to Dallas, but his coach acknowledged that the Mavericks are a major risk to sign the free agent-to-be.
New Jersey Nets coach Avery Johnson has a large amount of acceptance for his former boss, Mavs owner Mark Cuban. The multimillionaire has teamed with Dallas president of basketball operations Donnie Nelson to give the Mavs the money flexibility this summer to try to sign Williams and/or Orlando Magic center Dwight Howard. Basketball lines
Williams, whose team played the Mavericks Tuesday night, pretended to not bear in mind that the Mavericks would have sufficient salary-cap space to be major players in free agency this offseason. He made it obvious that he had zero intention of debating the likelihood of joining Dirk Nowitzki in Dallas next season. Basketball betting lines
"I'm just going to play out this season and take a look at my options after this season," Williams said, repeating one or two variances of that declaration in a 5-minute session with the media.
However Williams, a native of Dallas suburb The Colony who attended 1 or 2 Mavs playoff games during last year's championship run, recognized that he take pleasure in playing at American Airlines Center.
Williams, who has averaged 22.3 points on 50.3 shooting in 10 career games at American Airlines Center, stated that he is keen on the shooting background in the arena. He also loves the atmosphere.
"It's good when an arena has a lot of energy," Williams related. "Ours hasn't got too much energy."
The Nets hope that transforms when they move into Barclays Center in Brooklyn next season. They also desire that Williams will be the face of the organization when that happens.
"For us, we are not making any expectations until we get Deron signed on the dotted line," asserted Johnson, who played 55 games for the Mavericks late in his career and coached Dallas from 2005 to 2008. "The main thing is we continue to do what we are doing.
"Deron's been a serious part of what we are doing behind the scenes. He's been a significant part of what we are doing with the new Barclays Center, so we are saying he is doing all of that with the desire that he's going to stay with us in the near future."
Nets managing director Billy King also isn't fearful that Williams could leave.
"It's not a fear, it's a reality," King said." "The Mavericks will have cap space along with other teams and he's from Dallas. I do not think it is any secret, but I am not alarmed of them, no."
Williams has stated that he is open to staying with the Nets after they move to Brooklyn next season as long as they put the right pieces around him and he feels like he has an appropriate opportunity to win a championship there.
"I'm not concerned," King asserted. "I'm anticipating having Deron in a Brooklyn Nets uniform next year."
At the same time, King does have a probability action in place if Williams does choose to depart.
King would not exhibit if Williams has given him guarantees that he is going to remain, but he did note that they've a good relationship and had numerous chats about the check-list and the direction of the organization going forward.

During the American Civil War, both the Union Army and the Confederate forces used, more or less, the same type of weapons, with the infantry on both sides being issued with either the Springfield M1861 Minié rifle or the Enfield rifle-musket. They were muzzle-loading, percussion cap guns that fired minié balls, the Springfield being a .71 (18mm)-caliber gun and the Enfield a .58-caliber. A minié ball could easily amputate an arm.
The Southerner cavalry were equipped with the LeMat single-action .42-caliber revolver, with a 9-round cylinder, while the Northern Army cavalrymen were armed with the Colt Dragoon Pistol, a .44, 6-round cylinder revolver.
The most widely used artillery piece in the Civil War was the 12-pounder Napoleon, a 121mm-caliber field gun that fired 4.1kg balls or canisters, with a range of 1.5 km. With a weight of 626 kg and cast in bronze, it was light and easy to be towed about in the battlefield by horses, but powerful enough to destroy fortifications.
Officially known as the 3-inch Ordnance Rifle, the Griffen Gun was another widely used weapon in this armed struggle; it was a 76mm rifled field gun, with a wrought-iron barrel that shot 4.5 kg shells to a distance of 1,800 yards.
Another artillery weapon used was the 10-pounder Parrot rifle, a 70mm rifled field gun, which had a reputation among artillery crew for being unsafe.

An Investment Opinion
by Alex Schay
Probability Theory and the Market
Virtually every day, we make decisions in the face of uncertainty. Considering that we do so on such a necessarily consistent basis, its hard to fathom that our decision-making structures do not adhere to some form of accessible logic. If not a logic of the formalized, probabilistic variety, then perhaps one imbued with a more evolutionary imperative. One that works.
In short, it's hard to completely embrace the notion that we are fundamentally irrational -- as it has been "traditionally" defined. However, when the question of rationality is examined in light of the evidence provided by probability experiments, we have a pretty dismal record. That is, the non-statisticians among us do very poorly when asked to measure the likelihood that an event will happen in the future given certain data.
Many have been embarrassed by the "false positive" puzzle -- in random testing you score positive for a disease that yields false positives 5% of the time in a population where one in every thousand people have the disease. By the way, there is a 2% chance that you have the disease, not a 95% chance -- which is undoubtedly the product of a conspiracy by probability theorists to make people feel like idiots. There's an even better popular example though, which is quite a bit more confounding, alternately called "The Prize" or the "Monty Hall Puzzle."
Given three boxes, you are asked to choose one. In two of the boxes there is nothing, in the third there is a prize. After you have chosen, but before your box is opened, another box is opened to reveal no prize, just air. You are then given the option to change your mind and choose the other unopened box. Does the decision really matter? After all, you've just been shown a box with no prize, and there are only two boxes left. One will have the prize and one won't, so there's a fifty-fifty chance you'll get the prize, right? Sorry, you can actually double your chances of winning the prize by switching to the other box.
I came across this probability brain teaser in its "Monty Hall" incarnation in a recent issue of The Economist (the Feb. 20th - 26th, 1999 issue: "Getting the Goat") where it was noted that violence often ensues after reasonable discussions about the puzzle have been exhausted.
Famed psychologists Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky have pursued numerous experiments confirming that we are typically "not rational" when the defining element of reason is action in accordance with the laws of probability. Despite this, they have found that our cognitive models do adhere to a readily definable logic. In one study, Kahneman and Tversky found that a majority of subjects will judge a deadly flood (causing a thousand deaths) triggered by a California earthquake to be more likely than a fatal flood (causing a thousand deaths) occurring somewhere else in North America on its own. Again, probability theory rears its ugly head. The majority of the respondents in the study were wrong, because probability theory asserts that the likelihood of any event (A) is always greater than or equal to any event (A), conjoined with event (B).
Commenting on the Kahneman-Tversky results in their recent book, Philosophy in the Flesh, George Lakoff and Mark Johnson note:
"Presumably, most of their subjects had a mental model in which earthquakes occur with reasonably high probability in California, a model in which earthquakes cause tidal waves, and a model in which sudden tidal waves cause a large number of deaths. When these cognitive models are evoked by the question and linked together, they imply that the probability of a California earthquake triggering the highly fatal flood is higher than other well known scenario for such a highly fatal flood, most of which have many fewer than a thousand fatalities because of excellent warning systems for most large floods."
For most of their book Lakoff and Johnson explore the manner in which we employ our cognitive models to contextualize and make sense of situations and information. We reason and understand using metaphors, frames, and prototypes. And while this may be "contextually inappropriate" at times, it has nevertheless been our most basic and successful tool for survival. While the book really poses a challenge to a Western philosophical tradition that has largely ignored input from cognitive science over the last thirty years, it's also an extremely interesting commentary on the theory of rational action in general, and I would wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone.
Understandably, if we are so ill equipped to reason about basic probability questions, then more profound issues regarding how the stock market works should really be daunting. Perhaps the most pedestrian view is that prices are merely set by the sum total of the actions taken in the market. Our intuition tells us that prices move up and down in a concrete process dictated by money flows, where "ending" prices are a function of the sum of all the inputs. However, as with probability theory our intuition is not a helpful guide when presented with the vast, complex entity called the market. In fact its just downright contextually inappropriate.
In a decentralized market view there are no "leaders" that set prices on the margin, but rather it is through the teeming interaction of countless players that a "meta system" emerges. That is, the market carries properties and characteristics "distinct from the agents that comprise it" (see "The Invisible Lead Steer" at CAP@Colmubia). The aggregate becomes more than the sum of its parts, or put another way, the market is "smarter" than any one of its participants.
Yes, the stock market reflects all available information and incorporates what is believed about the present value of the future, but this is not to say that prices are "correct." Correct is a determination that can only be made in the future. The implication here is that the most fruitful endeavor for the investor is to take a harder look at existing prices to determine what is built into the equity. It is only from this vantage point that disjunctions with possible future results can be assessed.
The Fool is hiring. Answer the call.

PSFK Conference Speaker Interview: Andrew Hoppin
Andrew Hoppin will be one of the speakers at our upcoming PSFK Conference 2010, taking place on April 9th. Andrew is a CIO that has leveraged digital media to generate social and political impact.
Andrew Hoppin will be one of the speakers at our upcoming PSFK Conference 2010, taking place on April 9th. Andrew is the Chief Information Officer of the New York State Senate who has leveraged digital media to generate social and political impact.
PSFK talked with Andrew recently to see what's he's been up to.
What are you working on right now?
1) Driving international and external adoption of one of the most open and participarty "Gov 2.0" websites in the world.
2) Rolling out a new Constituent Relationship Management (CRM) system for the New York State Senate that will enable a closer two-way relationship between Senators and the citizens they represent.
What has been the most interesting response or reaction to your project?
The vast diversity of opinions about what's most important in a government website–elegant presentation of information with context and commentary? Focus on publishing as much raw data as possible, as fast as possible? Being a citizen utility to search and find relevant information? Being a platform for citizens to express their own opinions? All of these things?
Serving 20 million New Yorkers with diverse needs and interests, as well as 62 Senators with diverse opinions and priorities, is a huge challenge for a single website!
What projects, people or ideas are currently inspiring your thinking these days?
GovFresh.com; the tech-crunch of government; WhiteHouse.gov; the crowdsourcing of crisis information; Open311, and other city-to-city collaborations via OpenMuni.org.
What developing trend, idea or technology makes you most excited or hopeful for the future?
Direct democracy and a citizen bureaucracy, and the outsourcing the work of government to its citizens.
Thanks Andrew!
Andrew will be speaking at the PSFK Conference 2010 – a Gathering for our Future. Come listen to likeminds as they share their ideas to make things better on stage and off. Find out more about the full line of of speakers at the PSFK Conference 2010 here.

Mumbai: Ali Zafar got hugely emotional on a TV channel that he could not hold his tears during an interview. The story behind is that Zafar was called for an interview (where he was also to promote his film 'London Paris New York) on a famed entertainment Indian channel where the popular film critic was interviewing him. While the interview was going on, he turned super emotional that his tears began coming out of his eyes. Zafar's being emotional went not well with his fans back in Pakistan and India as well.
Talking to the host of the show, Ali said that he never ever found himself as an outsider in India besides he was never treated to be an outsider there. He also mentioned that Bollywood industry had been treating him fantastically that he got overwhelmed and much excited.
He then continued expressing that he liked telling his people back home in Pakistan that he was treated fabulously and with respect in India that he never ever had expected it. He told that it was beyond his expectations. While talking this, he got much emotional that he could not hold his tears in eyes.
Zafar then found much difficulty in answering the host's next questions on the show.
Ali Zafar's weeping on the show was not acknowledged back home in Pakistan and even in India where he is trying to make his big career in Bollywood. Normally it happens when you weep, the people turn into your favor and this is a fashion now to get emotional and weep on the reality shows to get votes from the viewers. But Ali Zafar's being emotional did not work at all. Many termed him 'drama' and many showed their hate for him.
Well, an actor is a human as well with sensitivity in heart. So sometimes you cannot hold your tears. This might have happened with him but he must have controlled himself to avoid the situation going on post the interview.

What happens if you give a thousand Motorola Zoom tablet PCs to Ethiopian kids who have never even seen a printed word? Within five months, they'll start teaching themselves English while circumventing the security on your OS to customize settings and activate disabled hardware. Whoa.
The One Laptop Per Child project started as a way of delivering technology and resources to schools in countries with little or no education infrastructure, using inexpensive computers to improve traditional curricula. What the OLPC Project has realized over the last five or six years, though, is that teaching kids stuff is really not that valuable. Yes, knowing all your state capitols how to spell "neighborhood" properly and whatnot isn't a bad thing, but memorizing facts and procedures isn't going to inspire kids to go out and learn by teaching themselves, which is the key to a good education. Instead, OLPC is trying to figure out a way to teach kids to learn, which is what this experiment is all about.
Rather than give out laptops (they're actually Motorola Zoom tablets plus solar chargers running custom software) to kids in schools with teachers, the OLPC Project decided to try something completely different: it delivered some boxes of tablets to two villages in Ethiopia, taped shut, with no instructions whatsoever. Just like, "hey kids, here's this box, you can open it if you want, see ya!"
Just to give you a sense of what these villages in Ethiopia are like, the kids (and most of the adults) there have never seen a word. No books, no newspapers, no street signs, no labels on packaged foods or goods. Nothing. And these villages aren't unique in that respect; there are many of them in Africa where the literacy rate is close to zero. So you might think that if you're going to give out fancy tablet computers, it would be helpful to have someone along to show these people how to use them, right?
But that's not what OLPC did. They just left the boxes there, sealed up, containing one tablet for every kid in each of the villages (nearly a thousand tablets in total), pre-loaded with a custom English-language operating system and SD cards with tracking software on them to record how the tablets were used. Here's how it went down, as related by OLPC founder Nicholas Negroponte at MIT Technology Review's EmTech conference last week:
"We left the boxes in the village. Closed. Taped shut. No instruction, no human being. I thought, the kids will play with the boxes! Within four minutes, one kid not only opened the box, but found the on/off switch. He'd never seen an on/off switch. He powered it up. Within five days, they were using 47 apps per child per day. Within two weeks, they were singing ABC songs [in English] in the village. And within five months, they had hacked Android. Some idiot in our organization or in the Media Lab had disabled the camera! And they figured out it had a camera, and they hacked Android."
This experiment began earlier this year, and what OLPC really want to see is whether these kids can learn to read and write in English. Around the world, there are something like 100,000,000 kids who don't even make it to first grade, simply because there are not only no schools, but very few literate adults, and if it turns out that for the cost of a tablet all of these kids can simply teach themselves, it has huge implications for education. And it goes beyond the kids, too, since previous OLPC studies have shown that kids will use their computers to teach their parents to read and write as well, which is incredibly amazing and awesome.
I've got mixed feelings about this. Best comment summing them up is below:
'd like to see the Ethiopian Chief go to the MIT lab and drop 1000 snakes there. Then write observations:
"The first day, 5 people got killed by the snakes. The second day, people realized they should run away... etc etc"
Who gives us the right to use kids as lab rats? If education is what you are looking for, send a professor and 2 assistants there!
Who'll be responsible if these kids, instead of learning the survival skills they need out there, hang out all day playing Angry Birds? Who'll be responsible for the long term effects?
The world has gone crazy.... this is not civilization, this is playing God.

Obama Wrongs the Bill of Rights
Posted on Dec 18, 2013
By Amy Goodman
President Barack Obama proclaimed Dec. 15 Bill of Rights Day, praising those first 10 amendments to the U.S. Constitution as "the foundation of American liberty, securing our most fundamental rights—from the freedom to speak, assemble and practice our faith as we please to the protections that ensure justice under the law." The next day, U.S. District Judge Richard J. Leon called Obama's surveillance policies "almost Orwellian" in a court order finding the National Security Agency's bulk collection of Americans' telephone metadata very likely unconstitutional. If that was not enough, the president's own task force on the issues, the Review Group on Intelligence and Communications Technologies, delivered its report, which the White House released, with 46 recommendations for changes.
Square, Story page, 2nd paragraph, mobile
Judge Leon's ruling relates to just one of several filed after the June disclosures by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden about the vast, global surveillance system vacuuming up personal data from billions of people. A separate federal lawsuit in New York, ACLU v. Clapper, seeks to end the mass surveillance completely, and to have all the data collected so far deleted.
Anthony Romero, the executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union, called Edward Snowden "a patriot," noting: "As a whistle-blower of illegal government activity that was sanctioned and kept secret by the legislative, executive and judicial branches of government for years, he undertook great personal risk for the public good. And he has single-handedly reignited a global debate about the extent and nature of government surveillance and our most fundamental rights as individuals."
Jay Carney, Obama's press secretary, reiterated the White House's hard line this week: "Mr. Snowden has been accused of leaking classified information, and he faces felony charges here in the United States."

The world continues to listen to Snowden. As he also said in his open letter, "The culture of indiscriminate worldwide surveillance, exposed to public debates and real investigations on every continent, is collapsing." A recent poll suggests at least 55 percent of those questioned consider Snowden a whistle-blower. Despite the polls, CNN anchor Brooke Baldwin blustered about potential amnesty for Snowden: "This is a hated man, what would he even do here?"
Adopted on Dec. 15, 1791, the Bill of Rights comprises the first 10 amendments to the Constitution. While praising it last week and ticking through "our most fundamental rights," President Obama failed to mention the Fourth Amendment. It reads:
"The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."
Perhaps President Obama, the erstwhile constitutional-law professor, should go back and reread that amendment.

Outfit Designed with Mirrored Writing for Taking Selfies of Your Reflection
This underwear set shows the significance of selfies by highlighting its effect on fashion
In 2013, the Oxford English Dictionary announced that 'selfie' was the word of the year, and both the word and action have only increased in popularity. Since then there has been much talk about selfies- from whether or not they promote women as sexual objects, to if they indicate arrogance or body dysmorphic disorder, to whether or not a memorial service is an appropriate occasion for a selfie. Regardless of how you feel personally, it cannot be denied that taking selfies is a phenomenon; ready to spill over into all aspects of life, like fashion.
Tigran Avetisyan is a Russian fashion designer who just designed a new underwear set for SHOWstudio. The set is comprised of a t-shirt and shorts, both of which feature the words 'Us and Them,' but the text is in mirrored writing. The reason for this interesting idea is that the outfit was designed specifically for taking selfies. 'I was thinking about the role fashion has in creating division between people whilst at the same time bringing certain groups together,' Avetisyan said of his inspiration for the garment, something that can be applied to selfies themselves.
Though selfies are photographs taken of one's self, they are meant to be shared. People take selfies when they want to show their mood, or the location where they're at, and yes, sometimes just to say 'I look good today.' While it goes without question that there are negative examples of selfies, and those who post them simply for Facebook 'likes,' this set reinforces the idea of an 'us,' and how important it is to band together against opposition.
The hand-painted pieces are one-size-fits-all and are being sold together for £250. Though mirror writing is not something that has been used widespread in fashion so far, this set is extremely indicative of the selfie-centric culture spreading around the world. As selfies make more of a presence in fashion it is without doubt that they will continue to branch out.

Snowboarding Forum - Snowboard Enthusiast Forums (http://www.snowboardingforum.com/forum.php)
- Bindings (http://www.snowboardingforum.com/bindings/)
- - Risers! (http://www.snowboardingforum.com/bindings/32295-risers.html)
What is the general concensus on Risers? I am asking because I wear a size 11 boot and medium bindings (in the K2 Hurrithane, which is what I'm considering) run 8-11 and the large bindings are size 11+. I've heard risers help with control, and I'm thinking if I go with the mediums I will need them with my rather large feet. My board is a 157 spankin' new Parkstar and i ride probably 60/40 mountain park... if that helps.
Once again thanks in advance for the advice.
why would binding size make a difference for risers
and risers suck
(and get the Large/8-11)
4 Attachment(s)
There's a reason why those risers came and went pretty quickly back in the early 2000's.

Want to pick up a sweet treat and get some Mother's Day shopping done at the same time? Come by Fraiche yogurt's San Francisco location this Saturday May 8 for some organic frozen yogurt and a FREE Mother's Day card from Tiny Prints Greetings!
Tiny Prints staffers will be at 1910 Fillmore St. around 2pm on Saturday May 8 chatting, snacking on Fraiche's delicious selection of organic yogurts and passing out free Mother's Day cards while supplies last.
If you haven't been to Fraiche, you should definitely check out either the San Francisco location or the Palo Alto store. All of their organic yogurts are made in-house from scratch in their very own dairy plant using local California organic milk and probiotic-focused cultures. They serve homemade fresh greek-style yogurts, premium hand-blended frozen yogurts, low calorie yogurt spice muffins and globally- inspired savory yogurts dips. They even offer a non-dairy soy frozen yogurt!
Unlike the many other froyo storefronts that source generic mix from large suppliers, Fraiche starts by making fresh yogurt like you might at home. This fresh greek yogurt is then used to make all of their frozen yogurts, so whether you prefer fresh or frozen you can enjoy all of the same health benefits. By making the products from scratch, Fraiche can be sure that their products are as fresh as possible and free from preservatives, artificial flavorings and additives.
At Fraiche, they believe in the goodness of pure, simple foods and that you shouldn't have to choose between "great tasting" and "good for you." Plus, with a selection of fresh-cut fruits, local honeys and purees, toasted nuts, homemade granola and hand-shaved Callebaut chocolate, you're sure to have fun creating your own mouth-watering treat!
It's guaranteed to be a sweet time full of fresh yogurt (and Mother's Day designs!). To learn more about how fun and easy it is to use Tiny Prints Greetings, watch this short video or ask our friendly staffers at Fraiche for more information. We hope to see you there!

Why BitTorrent Represents The Future Of Book Publishing
Artist and designer Marc Ecko teamed up with BitTorrent to promote his book Unlabel.
Artists, designers, and musicians have taken to BitTorrent to promote their projects. By creating downloadable BitTorrent Bundles, the artists can avoid limitations set by traditional publishing channels and have more artistic freedom to pack in more content for their fans and followers.
Just last September, Madonna released her project secretprojectrevolution as a BitTorrent Bundle. In similar fashion, designer and Complex mag founder Marc Eckō has teamed up with BitTorrent to promote his new book Unlabel.
In the BitTorrent Bundle, Eckō shares some of his original sketches, high resolution artwork, interview footage that's never been seen before, and, of course, a look into his book Unlabel.
The designer felt he could only fit so much into a printed book and BitTorrent made it possible to get past such limitations. The BitTorrent Bundle provides a more comprehensive look into the author, his history, and his past and current work.
You can download the bundle via this link.

You say you know how to adjust valves. This may be true but bear w/me for a moment.
When you are twisting the p-rod to determine that the lash has been removed, and can begin to turn down the adjusting nut to get the proper preload, the "oily pushrod no longer rotates easily by fingers" part is what I'm questioning.
There should be no point when "zero" lash has been met that the p-rod should no longer rotate easily- it sounds like you're too far and have bottomed out the plunger in the lifter body and are now against the valve spring pressure.
When at "Zero" lash, the p-rod will still rotate very easily, there's only a
very slight
amount of drag that is created when the p-rod and lifter plunger/seat have met.
Bottom line- adjust the valves correctly and there will be no bottoming out of the rocker on the stud boss. Just be glad that you didn't bend any valves or p-rods by trying to run the engine like this.
You may need a slightly different length of p-rod to adjust the geometry to perfection, but stock length will work to get the valves adjusted to check it if you don't have a tool to check p-rod legnth.
Im not pushing lifters too far, I only meant that i tighten as long as i feel a lash when i rotate the pushrod. when i feel the lash disappears, i add the preload. this is how i do it with the stock rockers and the preload is correct, or if not spot on, it will be on the loose side rather than too tight.
I'll dig the pushrods out and measure them next.
One thing popped in my mind - are comp cams lifters shorter than stock? that could very well cause this.. it has comp 268xe cam and comp lifters.
