Everyone needs to keep their speed under control and make sure that they are not following cars in front of them too closely, whether they are with our group or not. SAFETY is paramount; do not drive like an idiot! Please do not make us have to call the police on any vehicles that are not driving in a safe manner.
Please make sure that you are allowing other vehicles that are not part of our cruise to merge onto the highway. You dont need to worry about being separated from the rest of the group. It is extremely unsafe to do this and we are not in a race to get to our destination, its called a cruise for a reason. Drive respectfully, safely, and courteously to everyone around you.
This thread will be modified as we make updates or clarifications.
Stay tuned for more BPCDubs cruises and events in the future.
We hope to see you there!

Joel White was not invited to try out for Team USA, but has led all non-face-off specialists in groundballs this year. (Inside Lacrosse Photo: Rich Barnes)
The blue-collar attitude of the Rochester Rattlers is perhaps best personified by a handful of the most notable snubs from this summer's Team USA roster at the FIL World Lacrosse Championships.
Long-stick midfielder Joel White, who led all non-face-off specialists in groundballs with 81 in the regular season, applied to try out for the American roster, but was reportedly not extended an invite.
Close defender Mike Manley, this year's MLL Defensive Player of the Year, was included in the 98-man pool of hopefuls, but was cut and not included in the 30-man roster from which the final list of names was built.
John Galloway, this summer's MLL Goaltender of the Year, made it to the 30-man roster, but ended up being selected as one of two alternates along with Steele Stanwick.
But rather than vocalize their disappointment, these three players from Upstate New York — White from Cortland, Manley from Penn Yan and Galloway from Syracuse — let their play speak for itself this season, helping the Rochester Rattlers field the league's best overall defense (161 goals allowed, 11.5 per game) and earn the No. 1 seed in the playoffs on their way to this weekend's Steinfeld Cup matchup with Denver.
A player who knows how White, Manley and Galloway felt this summer, Rattlers captain Kevin Leveille was the final man cut from the 2010 Team USA roster. Instead of stewing over his exclusion, Leveille decided to travel to Manchester, England, and support his brother, Mike, who was on the team.
Rededicating himself to the process the next time around, Leveille was one of the best stories for Team USA in 2014 as he made the squad four years after missing out and captained the team to a silver medal in Colorado.
"I think you can go two ways," said Leveille, who broke the all-time career MLL goal scoring record this season before the Outlaws' John Grant Jr. surpassed him in early August. "You can get down and angry, bum out and be upset about it and go in the wrong direction. Or you turn it into positive energy and make yourself better and those guys have done that."
Leveille sees in the trio of defensive standouts three players who were all worthy of being on the Team USA roster — players who have only proved that in putting together their best seasons to date.
The former UMass star and longtime MLL veteran said he could see the impact of missing out on Team USA and what it did to White, Manley and Galloway — or more accurately, what they did in response.
"For Joel, his chip started by not being invited to the tryouts," Leveille said. "You can tell a difference between before that happened and since. At that point, his game when up another notch. It was surprising to everyone I know that he wasn't at least invited. His tone was set then, and he's gotten better with it."
Galloway, who anchored some of the stingiest defenses in college lacrosse's history with White playing out in front of him at Syracuse, said the former Cortland star midfielder turned LSM would have brought something to the field in Denver that Team USA seemed to lack.
"You'd love to see Joel get out there and do what he can do, with all the transition and the excitement he brings to the game," Galloway said. "But he didn't hold a grudge. He closed his mouth and did his job, really just like he has ever since he switched his position (at Syracuse). He shuts up and does what he has to do."
Galloway said that was evident in the Rattlers' come-from-behind win over Ohio in the semifinals, when White scooped up 12 groundballs, caused numerous turnovers and contributed two assists in transition.
The commander of the Rattlers' defense, Galloway is also playing his best lacrosse of his career. He led the league in saves (194), goals allowed (11.16) and was just barely second to Team USA/Denver Outlaws starting keeper Jesse Schwartzman in save percentage (.556). Galloway made at least 10 saves in all but one regular-season game, and then turned in yet another important performance against Ohio, stopping 16 shots in the semifinal win.
"(Galloway) has been getting better as a leader," said Leveille, whose brother, Mike, won an NCAA championship with White and Galloway. "He's been in the league a long time at this point. But I know it was tough for him with the Team USA decision. That was a really tough crew in net and it was tough to narrow that down with all the guys out there. He was close with the group and was well deserving of making the team. It's really put a focus in him to the best he can be every game."
The all-time leaders in NCAA wins and victories at Syracuse, Galloway credits both White and Manley for their workmanlike approach to the weekly grind, saying that Manley in particular has elevated his play as the team's top lockdown cover man.
"It was definitely surprising to say the least that (White) didn't get to try out and (Manley) didn't move forward further than he did. But at same time, you have to understand how hard of a job it was for those coaches. But with these guys, there's no ego. They don't want to talk about it in interviews after the game. They're two guys you want in your corner. They symbolize everything that Upstate lacrosse is about. They're very blue collar. They just go out and do their jobs. ... I think those two are the heart of what we're doing in Rochester defensively and the culture we've built."
While Manley might have flown under the radar this season with so much attention on the MLL defenders who made the American and Canadian rosters at the world games, it was no surprise to Galloway to see Manley honored as the league's best defenseman.
"We go in each week looking for their best guy," Galloway said. "We put Michael on him and then we really don't have to worry about that guy anymore. It's pretty uncanny. I'm not sure how many teams in the league have that. He's undoubtedly going up in his game. His trajectory is upward. ... I've seen him play a lot. He's playing at an elite level even for a guy like him."
Leveille — another Upstate native, hailing from Albany — said the team's success on defense has to some degree been less talked about until individual awards were recently handed out by the league. But he says it starts with Manley, who starred at Duke before moving on to play both MLL and in the National Lacrosse League along with White.
"Manley faces the opponents toughest attackman each game. When you look at the fact we have the best defense overall, it starts with him being on their best guy, shutting them down. He's been great."
Having played in the league since 2004, Leveille said he's hard-pressed to recall a better defensive group than the current Rattlers back half. He praised another Syracuse defender John Lade, former Penn star Will Koshansky and Villanova product John LoCascio for their contributions as well. And he pointed to three more Upstate New Yorkers, short-stick defenders Mike Lazore, Donny Moss and Steve Ianzito, for rounding out the group.
According to Leveille, White and Galloway — close friends who were All-Americans at Syracuse and Tewaaraton finalists in 2011 — have brought a positive aura and good-natured motivation in the wake of missing the world games that has spread to the rest of the team, including the offense.
"They really are a tight-knit group," Leveille said. "It starts with Galloway in the net. He's really a general down there, organizing everything and getting everyone in the right spots. They defense actually seems like they feed off him. It's as solid of a package on defense as I've seen in the MLL in 11 years."
White, Manley and Galloway make for a powerful underdog story, which seems to fit into the greater Rochester tale — a team with low average attendance and finishing with a losing record two of the three previous seasons. But these three and the rest of the Rattlers don't appear to be playing for themselves, but rather for their captain — a player they believe is a model for persistence and hard work, a player who inspired them to take the high road in the midst of disappointment.
Galloway pointed out that Leveille — for all his accomplishments — has not won a professional championship. Believed to be retiring after this season, Leveille has become the stimulus for a Rochester team hunting the franchise's second title and first since 2008.
"Here's a guy who's 33 years old yet never won a championship," Galloway said. "For a player of that caliber, that skill set and with his leadership and looking all the great teams he's been on, he's still never won a championship. He's a comrade and so you badly want to win one for him."
Galloway was heartbroken to see Leveille's chance at a gold medal slip away as Team USA fell to Canada in the final in Denver, recalling that Leveille had supported the team from start to finish in 2010 after being snubbed by the coaching staff. Galloway and his teammates are playing with added purpose, hoping to give Leveille what he's not had up to this point.
"In my eyes, it doesn't get any better than Kevin Leveille," Galloway said. "I can't say enough about the guy. There's no better way to send a guy like that out than with a championship. Who knows if it will happen. But you want to seal the deal with him especially after this summer in Denver. You want to do everything you can to make sure he gets what he deserves."

See You in September: Tony & Joe's, Nick's to Re-open Fully
After closing due to the April 2011 flooding and after months of serving customers on outside tables, Tony and Joe's and Nick's Riverside Grille are preparing to open their interior spaces next month.
Tony Cibel, owner of both restaurant, confirmed to the media that the eateries, with upgraded menus from chef David Stein, will open sometime after Sept. 1. Even Zagat has felt the need to opine on the changes: "Encircled by tall windows, with cascading water features, nautical wood, and stylish appointments, its newly remodeled dining room feels like a posh ocean liner. An eating bar faces the open kitchen. Popular seafood dishes from the restaurant's past -- crab cakes, lobster, rockfish, mussels and shrimp cocktail -- will be menu staples, and specials featuring Chesapeake area ingredients will be introduced daily."
Bill Starrels, an advisory neighborhood commissioner whose district includes the Georgetown Waterfront, had this to say about the restaurants' re-birth: "It brings us happiness to see the re-opening of Tony and Joe's and Nick's at Washington Harbour. After seeing the ravages of the Potomac and, now, the sparkling, newly renovated restaurants, it is a good day."

Bob Shrum has a funny way of telling the troops to calm down.
The purpose of the long-time Democratic strategist's opinion piece at The Week (the picture at the right is at that link) is to counsel his ideological colleagues that despite current appearances, soon-to-be president Barack Obama will indeed enact their liberal agenda.
But while telling Democrats to focus on the future and to resist the urge to dig through every nook and cranny in Washington in search of a Bush Adminstration crime to prosecute, his first sentence revives the long-debunked claim that George W. Bush didn't win the 2000 election fair and square.
Here are key paragraphs from his piece:
Battered Liberal Syndrome
Perhaps there is something in the soul of Democrats, scarred by the stolen election of 2000 and a close loss in 2004, that anticipates setback. Call it Battered Liberal Syndrome. This time, it's not electoral defeat Democrats fear, but a devaluation of last November's victory, a scenario in which progressive policy is undermined and Democratic dreams are once again deferred.
A number of liberal bloggers and columnists, most notably the New York Times' Paul Krugman, worry, hint or state outright that Obama appears to be selling his mandate short. Their indictment of the stimulus—or recovery plan, as Obama prefers to call it—is that the plan is both less efficient and less fair because it includes tax cuts. Then there's Obama's reluctance to pledge to investigate and prosecute a wide array of misconduct in the Bush administration. Obama is reproved for his resolve to focus on the future, not the past. At the least, dissenters on the left insist, he should establish a truth finding panel, with subpoena power, to rake through the Bush detritus and expose it to the world.
I decline to join these pessimistic premonitions, this wallowing in disappointment before Obama's presidency has even begun. .....
I'm convinced Obama's right to pursue the politics of change in his own remarkable fashion. Americans are fearful, but they yearn to be hopeful; that's why they voted for Obama. They want solutions, not ideological battle. His stratospheric approval rating as transition yields to inauguration suggests how far he has moved beyond his Election Day majority and how effectively he has harnessed the public will. This could be a powerful force for advancing his agenda—and he's not going to jeopardize it by letting his presidency be cast in partisan terms.
That doesn't mean he's not progressive; he clearly is. But like FDR and JFK, he's also pragmatic.
..... That same pragmatism will guide each successive stage of what will prove to be a bold agenda.
Shrum "forgot" that a subsequent media consortium recount showed that Bush really did win Florda:
A group of large newspapers got together earlier this year and hired an accounting firm to recount Florida's disputed presidential election ballots. Their finding: George W. Bush won by a wider margin than he got last year.
And of course, any complete analysis of Florida 2000 has to address the concerted Democratic effort to prevent valid military and other overseas ballots from being counted. This NewsBusters entry from May 2008 does that.
Shrum also argues that "For the moment, the incoming president has marginalized fevered agitators like Ann Coulter and Sean Hannity."
Though I don't agree with the assertion (Coulter is so "marginalized" that her latest book is #2 on the New York Times best-sellers list), Shrum is at least smart to include his "for the moment" qualifier. He knows, as Chris Berman at ESPN is so fond of saying, "That's why they play the game."

Incumbent Starter: Kurt Suzuki
Suzuki took over the A's starting catcher job in July 2007 and he has quickly become arguably the team's most valuable player. One of the AL's top defensive catchers, Suzuki had his best offensive season in the major leagues in 2009, batting .274 with a career-best 15 homers and 88 RBIs. He also stole a career-high eight bases.
Perhaps most important was his games played total: 147. Throughout his career, Suzuki has been a remarkably durable player, a rarity on an A's roster rife with players who have long injury histories. Since being drafted in 2004, Suzuki has appeared in more than 100 games every season (in 2006 he played in 99 games with Double-A Midland, but he also spent August that season playing for Team USA in the Pan-Am Games), and he has played in more than 140 games in each of the past two seasons.
Suzuki's durability has been an important factor in the success of the A's pitching staff the past three seasons, especially the development of the team's younger hurlers. Suzuki has been praised for his preparation before games and his game-calling skills in general. His offensive production might improve with more days off during the season (his career post-All-Star splits are lower than his pre-All-Star totals), but the A's haven't been able to afford to bench Suzuki much the past two seasons as the team has introduced a slew of young pitchers. With a more experienced pitching staff expected for 2010 in Oakland, the A's may be more willing to give Suzuki regular time off, especially early in the season.
First Line of Defense: Landon Powell
One of the reasons the A's may be able to give Suzuki more scheduled rest in 2010 is the emergence of Powell as the team's back-up catcher. Powell made his major league debut last season and was productive in limited action, slugging .429 and playing solid defense. Powell was especially productive as a left-handed hitter, posting an 829 OPS in 101 at-bats.
Unlike Suzuki, Powell has not been blessed with good health during his professional career. He has had two ACL tears and a third, more minor surgery on his knee. He has also had to work through a condition called chronic autoimmune hepatitis that can attack the liver and requires him to take a series of medications. The medications cause fatigue and weight gain and limited Powell's availability at times last season. Powell has reportedly been weaned off of one of the medications, according to the San Francisco Chronicle, and he came into spring camp in better shape than the year before.
If Jake Fox is on the roster as expected (more on him in a moment), the A's may be more willing to play Powell more often not only as a starting catcher but also as an occasional DH and pinch-hitter late in games since Fox can serve as an emergency third catcher. With more regular at-bats, Powell should be able to up his OBP significantly (it was under .300 during his rookie season, but has been high historically throughout his minor league career) and, with his power, could have one of the better OPSs on the A's, albeit in a back-up role.
Emergency Third Option/Spot Starter: Jake Fox
When Fox was acquired by the A's from the Chicago Cubs in December, he was originally thought to be a candidate as the team's everyday third baseman. Then when the A's acquired Kevin Kouzmanoff for that role, Fox became a more likely candidate to serve as a super-utility player. Fox has more recently been thought of as a corner infielder/outfielder, but he has spent the bulk of his professional career behind the plate. The University of Michigan alum was a catcher in college and played primarily behind the plate from 2003-2006 in the Cubs' chain. His bat was advancing quicker than his defensive abilities, however, so the Cubs moved Fox into the infield/outfield role in 2007.
Although Fox doesn't have a reputation as a strong defensive catcher, he has been getting plenty of work there with the A's this spring, an indication that Oakland is weighing whether he would be a legitimate option for a spot start or a mid-game substitution during the regular season. Fox isn't guaranteed a roster spot with the A's on Opening Day, but he is out of options and the A's gave up a significant amount to acquire him (three players plus a sum of money in the form of absorbing much of the contract of Aaron Miles). That combined with Fox's defensive versatility make him an attractive candidate to be on the Opening Day roster. As mentioned previously, Fox's presence on the roster would free the A's up to use Powell more frequently.
Triple-A Depth: Josh Donaldson, Anthony Recker, Joel Galarraga
Catcher is arguably the deepest position in the A's system, and that is none more evident than at the Triple-A level, where the A's have three legitimate Triple-A starting catchers who will be vying for regular playing time in 2010 (and, perhaps, a spot on the Sacramento roster, as the A's may send one of these catchers to Double-A in order to give all three adequate time behind the plate).
Recker and Galarraga both saw time at Sacramento last season. Recker had a solid season with the River Cats, hitting 12 homers and posting a 782 OPS in 78 games (he also had a 911 OPS in 16 games with Double-A Midland). The A's 2005 18th round pick is having a solid spring in big league camp and could be positioning himself as a first option for the A's should either Suzuki or Powell suffer an injury. He has two hits in five at-bats, including a homerun. Recker has also flashed a strong throwing arm. He survived the first round of spring cuts and could see more playing time in big league camp this week.
Galarraga was signed by the A's out of the Mexican League last season and, after some visa troubles, the native of Cuba got off to a fast start with Sacramento. He hit .375 with a 925 OPS in 13 games before he injured his throwing shoulder. That shoulder eventually required surgery and cost him the rest of the season. He has been limited this spring and it isn't clear whether he will be 100 percent at the start of the year. Galarraga is the most experienced catcher of this trio. The soon-to-be 28 year old has played professionally in Cuba and in Mexico in addition to his brief time in the minor leagues last season. He will probably see time with Sacramento this season even if he doesn't start the year there.
Donaldson is the A's best catching prospect in the upper levels of their minor league system. The Auburn alum was acquired in a trade with the Cubs in 2008 and he has shown a solid bat since arriving in the A's organization. He hit .330 with a 955 OPS in 47 games with High-A Stockton in 2008 and batted .270 with a 795 OPS in 124 games with Double-A Midland last season. Donaldson has an above-average feel for the strike-zone and good gap power for a catcher. His defense is still a work-in-progress, although he has improved every year in the minor leagues. He was a third baseman at the start of his college career and he could see time at third and at first this season in addition to being behind the plate. Donaldson has two hits in seven at-bats this spring (including a homerun), but he has had trouble controlling the running game. He should be the River Cats' main catcher this season, but he will likely only get a promotion to Oakland before September if there will be significant playing time available for him.

Most BlackBerry products do not use the targeted software, but vulnerable to the Heartbleed bug is Secure Work Space corporate email, BBM for iOS and BBM for Android. This past weekend, BlackBerry Senior Vice President Scott Totzke told Reuters that hackers could break into those apps using either a Wi-Fi connection, or via a carrier network. Still, Totzke said that thanks to BlackBerry's security technology, the risk of an attack was small and would have to be carried out during a very small window of opportunity.
So while BlackBerry says that the apps are safe to use now, the Canadian manufacturer is also planning on sending out security patches for both the iOS and Android version of its messaging app. BlackBerry did not say when these updates would be sent out, so if you do have an iOS or Android device with the BBM app installed, keep your eyes peeled for this security update.

Skip to Main Navigation. Each navigation link will open a list of sub navigation links.
IMPORTANT: BRAND application deadline extended to December 1 by 11:59 p.m. (Eastern time)
When transferring credits to the BRAND Program, students may find it beneficial to go to http://wyotransfer.uwyo.edu to access the UW Transfer Equivalency Self-Service site. This site can assist in discovering how courses taken at other institutions will transfer and can be used to earn a degree at UW. Transfer evaluation reports created on this site are NOT official but rather serve as a guide. Official evaluations are not completed until after being fully admitted to UW.
As part of the BRAND nursing major application process, transfer coursework will be evaluated by the School of Nursing to determine transfer equivalency of required prerequisite courses. Evaluation will also take into consideration the School of Nursing Program Scholastic Requirements (see below). A School of Nursing transcript evaluation fee will be assessed at that time and paid online through link identified within the NursingCAS application site for our program.
The UW Registrar's Office completes an evaluation of students' transcripts following their admission to the University. Their office determines whether or not courses are found to have UW equivalencies and/or University Studies (USP) attributes. Pending approval/clearance on all transfer discrepancies by both the School of Nursing and the Registrar, students' transfer evaluations are considered unofficial. The Registrar is the official evaluator and the School of Nursing further determines which courses are then applicable to the nursing curriculum. Evaluations processed by the School of Nursing are subject to change until they have been determined to be official.
University and College of Health Sciences policies governing scholastic requirements (e.g. major changes, probation, and dismissal) apply to students enrolled in the School of Nursing. In addition to university/college requirements, the School of Nursing has the following scholastic requirements:
Prerequisites must be met with C or better prior to entering each nursing course.
A cumulative Nursing G.P.A. (NGPA) of 2.75 based on required courses is the minimum required for admission to the nursing major.
Students must attain a 2.00 (C) or S in each nursing course, as well as a cumulative Nursing G.P.A. (NGPA) of 2.75 based on required courses to progress.
Single prerequisite, requisite, core, or nursing major course may not be repeated more than once.*
Only a total of four prerequisite, requisite, or core courses may be repeated.*
Only a total of two nursing courses in the major may be repeated.*
Students must have completed a baccalaureate degree or higher prior to starting the program with a minimum GPA of 2.5.
All nursing theory and combined courses must be taken for a grade.
Clinical courses are graded S/U only.
Students may petition an exception to the same School of Nursing policy only one time.
UW policy in effect for courses completed prior to Fall 2006:
First repeat: only the second credit and grade is used to calculate the cumulative GPA.
If repeated more than once, the second grade and all subsequent grades together with the grade points of these attempts will enter the computation of the cumulative average.
If a mark of W, S, or U is assigned in a repeated course, the previous grade assigned will stand except when an S or U is earned repeating a previous S or U. (see UW Catalog).
UW policy in effect for courses completed Fall 2006 forward:
Students may repeat course work; however, credit earned in any given course (or equivalent course) is applicable toward a degree requirement only once. All grade entries remain on the student's record, but only the last grade earned will be calculated in the UW cumulative grade point average (see UW Catalog).
Students with repeated courses completed prior to and/or after fall 2006 may see both variances of the UW repeat policy reflected on their transcript. Courses repeated prior to fall 2006 will remain coded based on the previous policy.

Bondurant (or similar) School vs. PCD
Really struggled which forum to post this in, hopefully this is close enough...
Doing an ED this year but I live way out in Phoenix so Performance Center redelivery isn't really convenient. I will have some extra vacation time, though, after we get back so I was considering hitting up the Bondurant High Performance Driving school to learn some advanced techniques.
First question would be -- has anybody been to something like Bondurant and, if so, was it worth it? The classes are dang expensive so I'd love to hear some positive feedback. What did they teach you, how you enjoyed it, etc.
Second -- for anybody who's been through PCD or knows much about it, do you have any idea how to compare it to Bondurant? My ED this year hopefully won't be my last BMW, so there's a good chance I'll get a chance to hit PCD one of these days in the next decade or so. If they train many of the same skills, I might just pass on Bondurant.
Appreciate any thoughts.
Performance Center Delivery will be about 2% of a full-on school.
It's more geared toward showing you what your car is capable of, rather than teaching you advanced techniques.

GUEDES, Nirla Gomes et al. Students' physical activity: an analysis according to Pender's health promotion model. Rev. esc. enferm. USP [online]. 2009, vol.43, n.4, pp.744-780. ISSN 0080-6234. http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S0080-62342009000400006.
The objective of this study was to describe the everyday physical activity habits of students and analyze the practice of physical activity and its determinants, based on the first component of Pender's health promotion model. This cross-sectional study was performed from 2004 to 2005 with 79 students in a public school in Fortaleza, Ceará, Brazil. Data collection was performed by interviews and physical examinations. The data were analyzed according to the referred theoretical model. Most students (n=60) were physically active. Proportionally, adolescents were the most active (80.4%). Those with a sedentary lifestyle had higher rates for overweight and obesity (21.1%). Many students practiced outdoor physical activities, which did not require any physical structure and good financial conditions. The results show that it is possible to associate the first component of Pender's health promotion model with the everyday lives of students in terms of the physical activity practice.

The Essence of Nature/Art/Furniture/Etc. from the Heads at Pulpo
There's no winning in the game of blogging home decor and accessories and design because you can't please all of the people all of the time. That's cool; it's all part of the fun. I know that utramod isn't everyone's cup of tea – when I've gone through my mod phases, I've gotten complaints – but I have to show off some of the sweet gear from Germany's Pulpo. The brand, if that's what you'd call it, works in cooperation with some absolutely fabulous designers to release furniture, lighting, and accessories that explore the essence of the things we find in our homes.
I love them all – even the box table, which I think may be the most controversial product in the lineup. And even though nothing from Pulpo comes cheap. What do you think? Could you find a place for a little ultramod in your own home, even if you're more of a traditionalist?

UM Men's Basketball's "Fit to Play, Fun for Life" Photo Gallery
MIAMI, FLA. - Members of the University of Miami men's basketball team participated in the Miami-Dade Parks "Fit to Play, Fun for Life" summer camp at Oak Grove Park on Thursday.
Senior Adrian Thomas and recent graduate Lance Hurdle spent time with more than 100 campers, speaking with them and signing autographs. It marks the second year that the UM Athletic Department and the University of Miami Health System (UHealth) is supporting the Miami-Dade Parks program held at various sites throughout the county.
"The camp was cool," said Thomas, a 6-7 forward for the Hurricanes. "The best part was interacting with the kids and asking them what they wanted to be when they grew up. Everybody had big dreams, and all the kids smiled the whole time and were very energetic."
The Miami-Dade Parks "Fit to Play" program is designed to provide a safe place for kids to engage in a variety of sports and physical activities, laying the foundation for a healthy lifestyle. It is designed to teach kids good health habits in a fun environment, while addressing topics such as exercise and fitness, nutrition, stress management, tobacco prevention, injury prevention and safety information.
In addition to UM men's basketball, members of the Hurricanes' football, baseball, women's soccer and swimming & diving teams have also participated in "Fit to Play" camps this summer, while members of the football, volleyball and women's basketball team are expected to participate in the camp on August 6 at Arcola Park (1680 NW 87th St., Miami, FL 33147).

Snakes ???
I thought I knew a lot about snakes, at least the ones we have in North America.
Today, on another forum, they were talking about "SNOW SNAKES". I have heard the expression, I did not give it a lot of thought.
I googled "snow snakes" and found a lot of information but don't know if it is a true species of snakes. All snakes, to my knowledge, are cold blooded and can't function properly when temperature is below about 50 degrees.
I still don't believe they exist and would like some additional input.
How 'bout try google or wiki or snopes. DIY - do it yourself - as in some research.
great news, can't thank you enough. I'm one of those spider and snake kinda guys, as in trying to climb on thin air if I see one, not so much with spiders but definitly snakes. I googled snow snake, and it was as you said, very confusing, lot of slang useage. Now it will be stuck in my head that I'll never be able to run fast enough in the snow to stay ahead.
I was told as a youngster that if you ever encountered a snow snake to wrap your pant legs tightly around your ankles and stand perfectly still. If you did not the snow snake would crawl inside your pant leg and into your rectum and you would freeze to death instantly. I was dumb enough to believe it. Thankfully I never saw a snow snake or I might not be here to tell this tale. LOL>
Only one way to kill a "snow snake." Hang it up with a "sky hook" and beat it with a "left-handed monkey wrench." :whistling2:
Similar to the snipes that new boy scouts were told about on their first night camping out. :laughing:
Snipes actually exist. There are snipes (a bird) in Europe, Asia and SE United States. Sometimes albino snakes are called snow snakes. But there is no such species as snow snakes. At least, none that I am aware of.
snow snakes are real and just to prove it, I have included a picture of one. It may be tough to discern against the white background but it is there, I swear.
I SEE it! Fortunately all the snow has melted and along with that all the snakes have disappeared.:laughing:

Thanks Hoover..
Brewers are closing in on opening up a 4 game lead in the Central.
Pujols just hit #500. Hit 499 earlier tonight.
5th inning and Harangatang is throwing another beauty. 2 hit shutout (7 k's, 0 bb, 60 pitches). Yes, it's the fish, but still great to watch.

I am enjoying the visuals of the Kansas City Packers vs. Chicago Chi-Feds today.
"Since I've been with the Reds in 1989, we've never had a farm system this loaded," Bowden said. "If we were the New York Yankees and had unlimited dollars, we could have traded for Colon, (Jeff) Weaver, Rolen, (Cliff) Floyd, (Kenny) Rogers and Finley and gotten them all -- and still held onto our top five prospects. That's an amazing statement."
Cubs doing a great job of blowing a 5-2 lead in the 9th to the Snakes. Although, they did get a bit unlucky...bases loaded, 1 out and a ball up the center...hits the 2B bag and now tying run on 3rd. Seems appropo on Wrigley's 100th B-day
Yup, they found a way to blow the lead. Now 7-5 D-backs. The Cubs RFer Ruggiano just injured his left leg pretty badly trying to catch a fly near the foul line. Hope he ends up being ok, but oof, Cubs baseball....
pineda used pine tar the second time against the red sox.. this time he got ejected! (had it on his neck)

- 1 1/2 bottles Barolo (4 1/2 cups)
- 3 celery ribs, coarsely chopped
- 3 bay leaves
- 2 medium onions, coarsely chopped
- 2 carrots, coarsely chopped
- 2 whole cloves
- One 4-pound boneless veal shoulder roast, tied
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 cup veal or beef stock or low-sodium broth
In a bowl, combine the wine, celery, bay leaves, onions, carrots and cloves. Add the veal and marinate overnight in the refrigerator, turning a few times.
The next day, remove the veal from the marinade and pat dry; reserve the marinade. Season the veal with salt and pepper. Heat the olive oil in a large enameled cast-iron casserole. Add the veal and cook over moderately high heat until browned, about 4 minutes per side. Add the reserved marinade and the veal stock and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer the veal, skimming as necessary and turning the meat halfway through, until it's tender and an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center registers 140°, about 2 1/2 hours.
Transfer the veal to a carving board and cover loosely with foil. Strain the cooking liquid into a medium saucepan and boil until reduced to 2 cups, about 8 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Discard the strings from the roast and carve it into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Serve with the braising liquid.

have been reading a lot of the home invasion threads here and it has me thinking.
any ideas of how to safely store and/or hide my mossberg 500 so it's close to my bed? the catch is i have two young children in the house so i would like to keep it hidden from them. more importantly, in the unfortunate event they somehow find it i'd also like to make sure it's completely safe.
are there more options or would it be better to keep the g23 close and secured?
it's currently in a safe i have in the bedroom but i don't think it's realistic to think i'm going to get to the safe, open it and be ready for whatever BG might be coming through my door.

Great Surgeon. Perfect Results. - Toronto, ON
I am a male patient and a real estate developer in Toronto. I did a lot of research when deciding on a facelift and blepharoplasty. The most important factor to me was to have a natural result and to be able to get back to work in as short time as possible. Dr. Asaria was actually recommended to me by another plastic surgeon as I wanted a deep plane facelift which few doctors specialize in... READ MORE

As for your situation, it appears as if someone is trying to bruteforce their way (or may have already done so) into your network.
My advice if you don't know what you are doing, in regards to penetration testing and digital forensics, it would be best to find a consultant in your area to help you out.
You would probably want to take your network down in order to isolate the issue, fix, patch, update and or remove it.
Having said that though there are many variables that come into play, such as what did happen, (an actual breech or only attempted ones, full network compromise) Costs both perceived and real, in terms of account info, productivity time lost etc.
Also understand that if you are wanting to do some sort of investigation for potential criminal proceedings, then you or anyone else (that are not qualified forensics experts) messing around on the network at this point could invalidate any evidence in a court of law.
I could go on, but some of our other experts will likely chime in to offer more information.

One of my specialties is investment loans and Nova has multiple lenders offering this loan product including a source that will allow for up to 10 properties with mortgages. Most lenders only allow for 4 properties with mortgages.
For the regular program, here are some things you should be aware of:
- 20% down payment minimum (unless you find a Homepath eligible property in which case 10% is the minimum down payment.) If you put 25% down, you get a lower interest rate.
- appraisal costs a little more due to the required "rent schedule".
- be sure to check on reserve requirements. Typically, you will need to have 6 months PITI for this property, 6 months for any other rental property and 2 months worth for your primary residence. For example, if I have a primary residence with a $1250 payment and the new payment will be $600, I will need to have ($1250 x2= $2500 plus $600 x 6= $3600 for a total of $6100) $6100 after closing in reserves. Keep in mind, FNMA views liquid funds at 100% of value, brokerage assets or mutual funds at 70% and retirement funds at 60% when calculating reserves.
If you need some help figuring if a property will cash flow, call me or a licensed realtor. With property values at 10 year lows and rates as low as they have ever been, 2013 could be a good year to start working on your rental portfolio.
Call or email me with any questions.

Mar 21, 2008 - Wow, there are a lot of wonderful reviews on Mindi and Amy, but I wanted to let everyone know that John is amazing as well. I have long, tight curls that tend to get frizzy easily, and he has consistently given me great hair cuts for the past 8 years- and he is the only one I have let cut my hair over the past 8 years. Overall, this is the place to be for curls.

Britain's Daily Mail newspaper apologized to George Clooney on Wednesday for alleging his fiancée's mother opposed the marriage on religious grounds – a story Clooney called both wrong and irresponsible.
Clooney is engaged to Beirut-born London lawyer Amal Alamuddin, whose father Ramzi belongs to a prominent Druze family. The Druze are adherents of a monotheistic religion based mainly in Lebanon, Syria and Israel.
Citing unnamed family "friends," the newspaper's MailOnline website reported this week that her mother, Baria Alamuddin, wanted her 36-year-old daughter to marry a Druze man. It said Amal Alamuddin risked being "cast out of the community" if she wed Clooney, and claimed several women had been murdered for not abiding by strict Druze rules.
Clooney called the story "completely fabricated."
In a statement issued to USA Today, he said Baria Alamuddin – a well-known journalist – was not Druze and "is in no way against the marriage."
Clooney, 53, added that "to exploit religious differences where none exist is at the very least negligent and more appropriately dangerous."
"We have family members all over the world, and the idea that someone would inflame any part of that world for the sole reason of selling papers should be criminal," he said, accusing the newspaper of "inciting violence."
The newspaper said Wednesday that the story had been "supplied in good faith by a reputable and trusted freelance journalist."
"We accept Mr. Clooney's assurance that the story is inaccurate and we apologize to him, Miss Amal Alamuddin and her mother, Baria, for any distress caused," it said in a statement.
The Mail said it had removed the article from the website "and will be contacting Mr. Clooney's representatives to discuss giving him the opportunity to set the record straight."
The Druze are a close-knit community and rarely marry outside their sect. But some Druze have welcomed Clooney.
Walid Jumblatt, political leader of the sect in Lebanon, told The Associated Press recently that he hoped the couple would soon visit the Druze heartland.
Clooney will bring us "great publicity," Jumblatt said. "He can make a movie about the Druze sect."Report Typo/Error

This is a cute and easy recipe that is perfect for preschool Halloween parties. They also make a fun fall treat for kids of all ages. And my 3 year old daughter LOVED helping me make them. Here is how to make Brownie Bite Spider Treats.
I used store bought brownie bites for these treats. I am not above using store bought snacks, by any means. Although if you want to make these from scratch (or box mix) you easily can. To make them the same shape, just use a mini muffin tin. Make sure to let them cool and refrigerate before starting your spiders, or they might fall apart.
Brownie Bites
Twizzler Pull and Peel candy
Candy Eyeballs
1T Powdered sugar
First you will need a glue for the candy eyes. I used a small amount of powered sugar, about 1 Tablespoon, and added a drop of water. A little bit of water goes a long way with this. Stir the sugar and water into a thick paste. Use that on the back of the candy eyeballs to glue them onto the spider. You can also try some frosting if you have some.
Then I took a lollipop stick to "pre-drill" the holes for the spider legs. You will have to pull apart the Twizzler candy to get all the long thin pieces to use as the spider legs. I cut each piece down to 2-3 inches to make an appropriate spider leg.
Once you have all the Twizzler legs ready to go, just stick them in the holes in the sides of the spiders (4 holes on each side, so your spiders all have 8 legs!). You can dip the Twizzler in your sugar paste to make them stay in a little bit better, although it's not necessary.
My store only had the fruit flavored pull and peel Twizzlers, which are pink, purple and orange. I would have preferred green or black, but they still turned out adorable. I mixed and matched the colors to make all the spiders different.
These were a hit at home and they would be perfect for a classroom Halloween party or a spider themed birthday.

Iranian President Hasan Rouhani has told a US newspaper that he wants to reach a nuclear agreement with world powers sooner rather than later. The interview came ahead of a high-level diplomatic meeting on the issue.
"The only way forward is for a timeline to be inserted into the negotiations that's short," Rouhani told the newspaper. "The shorter it is, the more beneficial it is to everyone. If it's three months, that would be Iran's choice; if it's six months that's still good. It's a question of months not years."
The president had been responding to a question about a time frame for negotiations ahead of the Iranian foreign minister's Thursday meeting with counterparts from the five permanent Security Council members plus Germany – the so-called P5+1 group.
When asked if negotiations would require the backing of Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Rouhani said the matter was "one of the responsibilities of my government."
"My government is fully empowered to finalize the nuclear talks," he said.
The US, European nations and Israel suspect that Iran's nuclear enrichment program is being used to develop fissile material for use in nuclear weapons. Iran has repeatedly said that the program is intended for purely peaceful purposes, such as the development of isotopes for use in medical treatments.
Rare high-level meeting
Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif was due to hold talks with US Secretary of State John Kerry on Thursday. They will be joined by counterparts from permanent Security Council members Britain, China, France and Russia, as well as German Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle.
As far as Washington and Tehran are concerned, it is one of the highest level diplomatic meetings between the two countries since before the 1979 Islamic revolution.
When asked what he expected from the meeting, Zarif told reporters on Wednesday he wanted: "a jump-start to the negotiations … with a view to reaching an agreement within the shortest span."
At the UN General Assembly on Tuesday, US President Barack Obama cautiously welcomed early diplomatic overtures from Rouhani, who assumed office in August, as the grounding for a possible nuclear deal. Obama called for "concrete steps" that would help resolve the issue, over which Iran has been negotiating with the P5+1 group since 2006.
The last round of negotiations in Kazakhstan in April failed to produce a deal that would have seen international sanctions against Iran eased in return for a suspension of the most sensitive enrichment work.

A mysterious fire has set the Kloof & Highway SPCA ablaze, allegedly after a death threat to one of its officials. The fire laid to waste the building where donated goods are stored.
It is alleged that the fire could be associated to the death threat that one of the staff members received last week. Manager of The Kloof & Highway SPCA Barbara Patrick says that the building was badly burnt and they do not understand why someone would want to hurt innocent animals.
"We hope to find the suspect as soon as possible, but obviously the staff and volunteers at The Kloof & Highway are absolutely devastated to know somebody would do this to affect our SPCA, and more importantly to affect the good work we do here," says Patrick.
No animals were injured in the fire and investigations are underway to find the cause of the fire.

The center fielder posted his best career numbers this past season, leading the Bulls in batting (.337), slugging (.449), hits (82) and total bases (109).
Those numbers as well as his solid play in center field earned him All-Big East First Team honors.

Saturday, May 31 will mark the end of a 12-year journey for 465 high school seniors. The years of struggling with grades, teachers, homework, friends, boyfriends and girlfriends are coming to an end as they close this chapter in their lives and begin a new one.
A pilot assessment program for teachers that launched this school year in Shelby County will take a new direction next year.
Educators spoke favorably about the upcoming changes in next year's program when they addressed the Shelby County School Board Thursday about the Certified Evaluation Plan.
"The certified evaluation plan is quite different for next year, we have a new professional growth and effectiveness system that we're going to be implementing," said Cindy French, director of elementary schools.

Eighty-seven percent of teens recently reported on a Gallup Youth Survey that their lives have an overall purpose, and a powerful impulse to serve other people and society as a whole pervades many of the comments of those interviewed.
On the back of West Middle's almost 30 percent energy reduction and improved Energy Star rating, Painted Stone Elementary will receive an energy-saving project upgrade worth more than $92,000.
The Shelby County Board of Education approved the project, which will seal a gap between the walls and the underside of the school's roof. K. Norman Berry Associate Architects – which has also designed and overseen the Northside Early Childhood Center and the new Southside Elementary School – made a design plan for the estimated four-week project.
Shelby County High School sophomores Nolan Hughes and Emma Saarinen have made history, but at the rate they're going it may not be the last time.
Hughes and Saarinen have been selected to join the Gatton Academy of Mathematics and Science at Western Kentucky University, and it is the first time that two Shelby County students were selected in the same year.
The Shelby County Board of Education will meet with a very short agenda at 7 p.m. Thursday for its regularly scheduled meeting at the district's central office, 1155 Main Street in Shelbyville.
Along with reports and discussion, the board will entertain an interagency agreement with the Department of Juvenile Justice.
The district has signed the agreements in the past to help fund $90,000 in personnel and operating costs at the Education Center at Cropper.
It's official; the Shelby County Board of Education approved a recommendation to move the last day of school back one week to May 30.
After an unusually harsh winter caused forced the district to take 13 snow days, the end of the school year had been pushed back to June 6, instead of the originally scheduled May 21.
But adding only six days back to the original school calendar still gives the district plenty of time to meet the state's educational requirements.

Oh, but you must try it on," says Tanya Sarne, as she shows me designs from her new 30 piece capsule collection for John Lewis. About three seconds later – these really are clothes one can slip into – and I'm in a little Thirties-style cropped jacket in aubergine satin. Undeniably perfect for concealing less-than-toned arms, it's the kind of piece Susannah and Trinny or Gok Wan might hail as "problem solving," yet looks like a sweet floppy vintage jacket that Kate Moss might wear to a wedding. "I thought it's a perfect cover up for a wedding or dinner," confirms Sarne, "I can see a younger woman going for this, while an older woman might choose the version with the frill."
Sarne, who founded Ghost in 1984 sold it in 2006, and started her current label Handwritten last year, is so keen for me for me to try the collection because her design philosophy is as unashamedly about comfort and ease as it is about high fashion. In fact, these dresses are so fluid and the fabric – which is the same unique material that Sarne has used all her career – so breathable, that Monica Seles used to practice tennis in a Ghost dress.
Sarne's success has been built on what many of her devotees might declare a miracle fabric. She uses a type of viscose that initially resembles a stiff net curtain until it is boiled, dyed and shrunk to about a quarter of its original size, when it takes on the appearance of vintage crepe. It has a natural stretch that fits women of all shapes and sizes from the very slender to the heavily pregnant particularly well, and, crucially for any busy woman, can be "thrown in the washing machine." "They are also perfect for travelling," she adds, "because you can roll them in a suitcase then just give them a bit of a shake or get rid of any slight creases by hanging them in a steamy bathroom." This instantly recognisable fabric became the foundation for Ghost.
Under Sarne's leadership, Ghost had an almost cult following. Ghost shows – and parties – were a highlight of New York Fashion Week, where Naomi Campbell and Helena Christensen would appear in her shows as favours, in return for clothes.
Rumoured to have provided some of the inspiration for Edina in Absolutely Fabulous, Sarne's biography is overflowing with drama and glamour. A former model – now in her early sixties she is still strikingly beautiful with blonde curls, olive skin and sultry, kohl rimmed brown eyes – she married the arthouse film-maker Michael Sarne, with whom she travelled the world. Their circle of friends included Jack Nicholson and Roman Polanski.
When Sarne split up with her husband, she has said, the catalyst for founding Ghost was the imperative to "feed the kids and pay the rent." As such, she understands the need for fashion to be practical and, one of her favourite words, "multifunctional." "I'm not an Alexander McQueen or Vivienne Westwood," she says, "You wouldn't wear the clothes I make to the Oscars. I try to make clothes that are multifunctional for women of all ages, shapes and sizes. Wearable, good quality clothes. For me John Lewis is about quality and I wouldn't have done a collaboration like this for anyone else." The fabric is made in the same family-run Italian mill that Sarne used to create her first collections in the Eighties and the designs evoke the soft, ultra-feminine, often Thirties-inspired shapes that she is best known for. Highlights include a loose painter's smock, wide pyjama style trousers, tea dresses and mock wrap dresses, while the range also includes slip dresses and strappy camis.
Sarne's talent as a colourist is apparent in the romantically muted – and flattering – shades of aubergine, orchid (a dusky rose colour) and alabaster. "Pantone has nothing on me," says the designer, whose hobby is painting. Forthcoming colours for her designs include a "sea foam-y green," and a, "lovely earthy sage," carmine and an inky blue for autumn.
Jo Hooper, head of womenswear buying at John Lewis notes that some of the designs don't look overly striking on the hanger but that they come alive when worn. Similarly, such simple silhouettes will benefit from clever styling, and allow the wearer to add their own touches. Team the wide trousers with a thin black knit and a long necklace, and – voila – Ginger Rogers-style pyjama dressing. Throw the aubergine tunic over denim shorts or cigarette pants, add a patterned cotton scarf, and you have the kind of low key chic that would work everywhere from Notting Hill – where Sarne lives – to Salisbury, where she often spends weekends. She designed the collection to appeal to, "the smart, stylish women I see shopping in John Lewis in Salisbury. They are incredibly well-dressed women with style and elegance, but not in thrall to super high fashion. They are busy, independent women of all ages." And for once, all ages means all ages. Sarne recounts a letter from a woman who had read an article saying that she made clothes for women up to the age of 70. The letter-writer said, very indignantly, that she was 80 years old and still wore Ghost. "That's the kind of thing I want to hear," says Sarne.

Hardly a day goes by without the new administration encountering a problem left over from the Bush era when bluster and threats took the place of intelligent diplomacy. Vice President Joe Biden was in Munich to discuss issues of security and he came out in favor of working in a more cooperative mode with the Russian government over issues such as missile. "It it time to press the restart button and to revisit the many areas where we can and should be working together with Russia." He emphasized the need for missile defense systems but said there would be an effort to consult with other nations prior to building such installations. Henry Kissinger who was in Moscow called for the United States to abandon the Bush program of building missile bases in Poland and the Czech Republic and accept the Russian offer to cooperate with them on this issue.
There is no need for missile bases on the border of Russia. Bush claimed they were necessary to ward off attacks from "rogue nations" like Iran or North Korea. Nonsense, why would either launch a missile attack on the European Union?

Ok, my girlfriends car wouldn't start, so I started diagnosing the old fashioned way. Fuel pump ran, exhaust smelled like gas. So no problem with the fuel delivery. Checked for spark, no dice. So I did a bonehead move and ordered a DIS coil (this is a Jetta IV with the AEG engine) from germanautoparts.com, but that didn't solve the problem.
So I went out and bought a scan tool, which revealed code P0322, which somehow relates to the engine speed sensor. Now, I noticed in the [crappy] bentley manual that I borrowed from a friend that the engine speed (crank) sensor is only mentioned in the fuel injection section, but no matter. I checked (what I believe to be) the engine speed sensor as per the manual and saw infinate resistance accross all three wires (one of the combinations, between terminals 2 and 3, should read between 480 and 1000 ohms). So, my first question.... Is this picture accurately showing the "engine speed sensor" connector?
And if so, I believe the connection cable routes to this sensor, which is sort of located to the lower right of the oil filter (as vied from in front of the car looking at the engine):
And final question, is that if this indeed IS the engine speed sensor, and it is indeed preventing the car from starting (as the manual/scantool suggests it would), does anybody have the VW part number so that I may avoid a whole bunch of headaches at the VW dealer?
I would appreciate any help.... My girlfriend is growing tired of a 1+ hour commute in my somewhat uncomfortable impreza, and I'm getting sick of driving my dodge ram to work....
Once again, just to clarify.... 1999 Jetta IV, auto, 2.0 AEG.
Thanks a bunch.

A collection of vegan recipes using okara, the pulpy byproduct of the soymilk- and tofu-making process.
May 27, 2014
Ultra Fudgey Okara Brownies
In a bowl, mix thoroughly (it's easy not to):
2/3 cup white whole wheat flour
1/2 tsp. baking powder
pinch salt
On the stove top, in a small pot over low heat, melt together
4 oz. semi-sweet chocolate
4 Tablespoons (1/2 stick, or 2 oz.) Earth Balance
1 Tablespoon (1/2 oz.) coconut oil
2/3 cup sugar
and whisk together until ingredients are well incorporated and smooth.
NB: If you don't like the taste of coconut oil, feel free to substitute it with more Earth Balance or a more mild-tasting oil.
To the chocolate mixture, add
1/4 cup okara
1/3 cup almond milk (I'm sure other non-dairy milks will work fine)
1 Tablespoon cornstarch
3 Tablespoons cocoa powder
and whisk until all ingredients are well incorporated, with no lumps. Turn off heat and add
1 tsp. vanilla
and whisk into chocolate mixture.
Add the chocolate mixture to the dry ingredients and stir together until incorporated. Scrape batter into a lightly oiled 8"x8" pan (I used a Pyrex pan). Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 28 minutes. Allow to cool.

New to posting to a blog but had to say i am so glad to have found your site. Seems we always have okara in the fridge and use it for the same things over and over. Made the Spiced Coffee Cake today. My okara was pretty dry so I added some applesause, and pumpkin and it's great. Pie crust next. Thanks again!ReplyDeleteReplies
Pumpkin sounds like a wonderful addition! I'll have to try that myself sometime! Thanks for your comment. :)Delete
Hi Anna:ReplyDelete
Great blog. I made these brownies – boy are they tasty!
With the rest of my okara, I made a "cheese"-y crumble that would probably be divine on top of your mac and cheese. It was inspired by lafujimama.com's sweet okara crumble, but I just made it savoury instead. Here's the recipe!
3 cups okara
2 tbs oil (I used red palm)
3 tbs miso
2.5 tbs nutritional yeast
2 tsp paprika
2 tsp cayenne
Mix well and bake for 30-40 minutes at 350F, flipping once or twice.
Hope you enjoy!
So cool that you posted this -- I was planning on making mac and cheese the next time I had a pile of okara! This will be fun to try, so thanks for sharing it!Delete
Hi. Do you use the okara dried or fresh in your recipes? Thanks. AnezkaReplyDeleteReplies
It's wet but well-drained!Delete
I wish I had found your collection of recipes earlier! Always looking for creative ways to use okara. Here's my recipe for okara polenta: http://homewandering.blogspot.com/2015/02/okara-polenta-recipe.htmlReplyDelete

Best way to deal with very wavy roof
I have a 67 Mustang coupe. One of my first threads here was about repairing some dents in the roof. I have since repaired those to the best of my abilities and skimmed over them with filler.
However, when I run my flat hand over the roof (the filled areas are on the edges) in the middle where the panel is wide open, I feel many waves. I can't see them, but I can feel them. I'm sure once the shiny epoxy coat goes on they'll dance at me.
The roof is bare metal right now. Is this something that all the blocking and building primer in the world isn't going to fix? I spray all SPI. What are the fixes for this?
try and get a straight edge across it to judge the depth of these "waves", if you're more than 1/16ish then you may need to re-skin the roof. Go get yourself a long durablock! (can't recall the length of mine but its 2 1/2 to 3 feet long.) guide coat and long strokes will let you know if its repairable.
good luck.
well at least your filler is at the edges where it's tight and won't affect the middle as much. I'd block on the metal like this //// with 80 grit and then get a good look at what you got going. You can also use a sharpy and make a little grid as your guide coat, or just use the scratches in the metal. Then you can push up on your lows while tapping down on the adjacent highs. You can also hammer from below and push from above. Once you got all the areas then take a flat tear drop mallet/ finishing hammer and dolly/ shot bag and smooth it out. You can also smooth it out from both sides. Then guide coat like this \\\ which is the opposite direction from the last scratches you left which makes it easier to identify. Then repeat til it's straight and more stiff.
Roofs are a pain but when you have access to both sides it just takes a little more time to get it right and it's worth it cause you not only leave yourself with less dust in your garage but you give it the proper flex back. Shrinking disks work well with roofs to finish off.
It'll be much easier on you if you epoxy the metal first,use a sandable epoxy then guide coat the epoxy.After everything has cured start blocking and you'll see just how bad it is.The centers of a roof can be very flimsy so It'll be nearly impossable to sand any bondo without it flexing ,so to make life easier you'll need to reinforce the inside to stiffen it up enough to sand.Theres a lot of ways to do this ,like gluing paint paddles to the inside.The method I like (because I have a wood shop at hand) is to cut long lengths of wood at the thickness and width of a paint paddle but long enough to reach from one end to the other,use hot glue or if you can, wedge them into a channel with no glue.space them about 6" apart and your all set...I always remove them afterwards but its up to you.
To me this would be an ideal time to use the shrinking disk as the metal is likely stretched because the roof was dented..The shrinking disk will tighten things up for you..
I am not a proffesional body man but I have a few paint jobs under my belt and just to add my two cents for what it's worth,I use a hankerchief under my hand when feeling for waves and don't look at what I'm feeling.The best way to block that I have found is use a cross hatch pattern when blocking.Try the hanky trick,you may be surprised.
I do use the hanky trick (actually use a shop towel, but same thing) and it works great. I also shut my eyes and turn my head when I feel so my eyes don't play tricks on me and can concentrate strickly on what I'm feeling.
I have a shrinking disc but it's only a 4.5" one, and my main problem is I think my angle grinder shaft is slightly bent so it has a slight wobble to it. You can't really see it just by looking at it, but on the surface of the shrinking disc you can tell only half of the disc is actually making contact with the metal so I don't think I'm making the metal as hot as I could be. Additionally, the metal gets this black marred look on it after I've used the disc. I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong (I squirt water with dish soap on the surface as lubricant as stated in the instructions). Also, I am wondering if the 4.5" is just too small to be of any practical use. I'm sure most of you here would say yes.
I'll try out some of these ideas. I'm glad I can put the epoxy on first and then guide coat, because I'd like to get the epoxy on sooner than later.
I don't have a finishing hammer but I do have a nice slapper. I understand this can serve the function too? I don't have a shot bag either, is this something you guys highly recommend I get?
Power tools are OK for roughing in but thats all, I do all mine by hand and elbow grease.Thakes longer but is more accurate and less boo boos.
you're certainly right about that. I had to learn the hard way. I also feel that near the hinges of decklids the glue will continuously pull the outer skin down after you open it a few times and let the hinges stop the hood. My boss thought I was crazy when I said the ding came back.

I LOVE supernatural horror. (but really who doesn't? seriously, if you don't let me know...) They were always the ones that scared me the most. But is not A Nightmare On Elm Street supernatural? Well, yes. But it's more slasher. As are Halloween and Friday the 13th seeing as the killer comes back again and again and again with little to no explanation. Ok, when Jason's corpse gets a metal rod stuck in him and comes back to life AFTER the rod is struck by lighting... well, that's just science. I think.
Ok, enough stalling. Let's start with the actual definition of "supernatural":
1. of, pertaining to, or being above or beyond what is natural; unexplainable by natural law or phenomena; abnormal.
2.of, pertaining to, characteristic of, or attributed to god or a deity.
3.of a superlative degree; preternatural: a missile of supernatural speed.
So, basically anything that is unexplained. It's the noise that you hear late at night that you've never heard before. It's the thing you see out of the corner of your eye that you can't explain. Or it's the little girl on the bed having waaaaay too good a time with that crucifix.
Even though my goal with these posts is to explore the essence of different sub-genres of horror, some of the sub-genres have sub-sub-genres. How meta is that??? (answer: no idea, Scream 4 only confused me more about the use of the word "meta". Don't worry, I don't think most of the population knows how to use the word "meta")
So here's my proposed sub-genre breakdown. Bare in mind what I've already covered in terms of genre (Slashers, Literary Monsters, Creature Features and there's still more to come... see the original post here!) So I'm going to try and deal with the purely supernatural, which in my mind means:
Ghosts... oh, those wacky, wacky ghosts. Ghosts are responsible for more shenanigans in movies than you can shake a stick at. Remember when they did the live action version of Caspar the Friendly Ghost and the CGI Caspar turned into Devon Sawa? Yeah, not those kind of ghosts. I'm talking about the less than friendly ghosts that can hurt you. And sometimes even possess you.
Let's take a look at The Shining (1980) as an example of two sub-sub genres rolled into one. If you're a regular reader of this blog you'll know about my hard-on for the The Shining. It simply can't be beat in my mind. Not only is it a beautifully crafted movie but the artistic merit is better than most mainstream films. Like all great stories it's a simple one. Family goes to hotel to look after it in the off-season. Hotel is filled with ghosts. Ghost possess father. Chaos ensues.
The Shining is an encyclopaedia of the supernatural. Little is explained except for a mention of a favourite trope of Stephen King's, building something on an Indian Burial ground, but within the Overlook Hotel there are few limitations for these ghosts. They can be everywhere and nowhere and appear in different forms, like your already emotionally unstable father.
Another purer ghost story is something like The Ring (which I like better than Ringu and it's my blog so there). The confines for this story is once you watch a creepy art school video you have seven terrifying days to live before the spirit of an evil little girl comes after you through your TV screen. The Ring is a creepy fucking movie that traumatized most people I know.
As for Possession/Demonic, well I'd have to say Paranormal Activity does it best for me. It also, in my mind stays out of the Satanic genre because the characters don't call in a priest, they call in a psychic. Paranormal Activity deals in the loss of control and with the supposed reality of the situation rather than an emphasis on the faith of the characters.
Now, to witches. For me, witches didn't really fall into any other category. They exist in literature but their stories almost always take on a power and control bent rather than a time specific story which is a must for literary horror. (Dracula 2000 being the exception) Take for instance Suspiria (1977) it's about a dance school run by witches. And boy oh boy do these witches like to terrorize their students. Not for any particular reasons (other than bitches be crazy) but y'know, just cause.
Now if you're sensing a pattern, you're not imagining it. The creepiness of the supernatural comes from an almost complete lack of rhyme or reason. It doesn't matter if you're good or bad, if you fall under the supernatural's awareness it will come after you. Unrelentingly. Because, let's face it, it's not like ghosts/demons/witches have to do their taxes or go to work. Haunting is their 24 hour a day job. And business is booming.
