How do you Set posts for a shed on a hill ?
I have a small 8x8 shed I want to build on the side of a hill and I am unsure if I should set the posts completely in concrete or just at the base and then fill in with back fill (dirt,shale). The incline for one side of the shed on the slope to become level is slight , maybe the post will come above the surface 1 foot. I was planning on placing 1 post on each corner. 4 in total. 2 at about 1 foot above the surface and the other 2 just above the surface. The ground freeze depth here is 18". So should I place gravel underneath the posts and pour concrete around the posts to the surface or other wise.Is it essential for the ground to be dry to pour concrete ? The ground being saturated is a concern. I realize this structure is small but should I place a central post to brace the weight distribution or will the corners be sufficent as I am spacing the floor joices every 12". I would greatly appreciate any advice. Thanks.
If it were me, I would go to local home store of your choice lowes or home depot and pick up some cylindrical tubes. Dig Down minimum 18'' until you hit solid ground. Set tubes in the ground and pour full to your joist level minus green plate or if using green wood set directly on top of concrete. I would at least get it up high enough so you have no water saturation directly on the joist.
Ground being wet doesn't really matter as long as you get down to solid ground and set the tubes.
As far as using post. You would have to set them on top of something solid, not just stuck in hole and concrete around them. If going this route dig the hole, pour concrete above ground level, set risers on top of pier and underneath the post.
Set the sonotubes to a depth of 24". You want to set them below the frost line, not at the frostline. Insert one of the Simpson connectors into or on top of the sonotube. Lay the framing lumber so it sits in the connectors off of the concrete.
How bad is the slope and the soil? What weight is going in the shed? Do you need to tie it into the hill with footings?
I would bell out the bottom of the sono tube formed holes.
Set the piers to hold the wood minimum of 16 inches off the soil and plan on a stair or ramp.

We've lusted after the OCZ Z Drive ever since we first saw it back in March and now we can get our hands on one - if only we could afford it!
OCZ has confirmed to us that six models of Z Drive are now on sale in 256GB, 512GB and 1TB capacities with a choice of MLC (multi level cell) or *brace your wallet* SLC (single level cell) NAND flash memory.
So first (and in order to make you hate us by the end) is the performance data. OCZ states the PCI Express based line will see 750MB/sec and 800MB/sec read speeds from MLC and SLC drives respectively and 650MB/s (MLC) and 750MB/sec (SLC) write speeds along with 10,000 (MLC) and 16,000 (SLC) IOPS (4k file size - random write). These are ballistic figures somewhere about 3/4x other leading SSDs. Perhaps I haven't mentioned the coolest part yet though since, despite being PCI Express based, the Z Drive is bootable. That's right, you can install your OS on it for an untouchably fast PC.
MTBF (mean time before failure) is quoted at 900,000 hours, they are also compatible with Windows XP 32/64, Vista 32/64, Windows 7 32/64, Linux, Mac OS X 10 and above while each drive comes with a three year warranty.
So the painful bit: price. OCZ has only given us RRPs for the SLC models (p84) which come in at *take a seat* $1,349.99 (256GB), $2,149.99 (512GB) and $4,049.99 (1TB). The MLC variants (e84) should be significantly less, but no matter I suspect it is time to pick your jaw up off the floor and admit defeat. It's painful I know...

Tim Palmer
|This biography of a living person needs additional citations for verification. (June 2008) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
Tim Palmer is a British music producer, audio engineer, guitarist and songwriter of rock and alternative music. He mixed Pearl Jam's debut album Ten (1991) and tracks on U2's comeback album 'All that you can't leave behind' in 2000 (GRAMMY nominated for 'Album of the Year') Tim has produced Top Ten albums over 4 decades now and has worked with U2, Robert Plant, Ozzy Osbourne the Mission UK, Mighty Lemon Drops, Gene Loves Jezebel, Pearl Jam, David Bowie's Tin Machine, HIM, Blue October, Jason Mraz, The Polyphonic Spree, The House of Love, Texas, Tarja Turunen, The Cure, Cutting Crew, Porcupine Tree, Faith Hill, Goo Goo Dolls, LIVE, Kandace Springs, Lang Lang, Switchfoot, Lizz Wright, Billy Childs, J.D. Souther, Steve Grand, Pitty and Orlando Draven.[1]
Palmer started his career in London. In the early 1980s, Palmer was an assistant engineer at Utopia Studios in London where he worked with musicians such as Mark Knopfler and Dead or Alive. By age 21, he had his first number one single, mixing "(I Just) Died in Your Arms" (1986) for Cutting Crew. In the latter half of the 80s, Palmer became a producer, and his ears and technical knowledge contributed to groups such as the Mighty Lemon Drops, The Mission UK Mission, with whom he worked for several years, and Gene Loves Jezebel. In 1988, Palmer produced Now and Zen for rock singer Robert Plant (Top 10 U.S. album) as well as Tin Machine, David Bowie's debut LP with Tin Machine in 1989.
In the 1990s, Palmer started to focus more on mixing for diverse groups like Mother Love Bone, the Cure, Sponge, Wire Train, James, Catherine Wheel, Ned's Atomic Dustbin, and Concrete Blonde. He produced The House Of Love (1990) for The House of Love, and mixed Ten (1991) for Pearl Jam. The album sold over 14 million albums and earned a place in the top 50 best selling albums in U.S. history. He also produced Tears For Fears' albums Elemental (1993) and Raoul and the Kings of Spain (1995).
Palmer relocated to Los Angeles, California to build his own mixing facility and was nominated for a Grammy for his mixing work on U2's All That You Can't Leave Behind album. He produced and wrote with Ozzy Osbourne on his Platinum-selling album, Down to Earth (2001), and mixed Porcupine Tree's In Absentia (2002).

Core Service - Scheduler
From Digi Developer
Scheduling Events
Most DIA devices will do things only from time to time. The DIA framework includes a simple callback event scheduler which enables callbacks to your device object in future times. This enables your device to do some action every X seconds, or react to other events failing to occur within Y seconds.
- Example #1 - periodic polling
- you need to poll a remote device once per 5 minutes.
- at startup, schedule an initial poll_callback in perhaps 30 seconds or 1 minute (delayed to reduce startup congestion)
- during the poll_callback
- reschedule a new poll_callback in 5 minutes
- send your poll - you CANNOT wait for a response or you affect scheduling jitter (see Timing and Jitter below)
- schedule a response_callback in 10 second (note: some means of polling may cause an automation callback upon data receipt. Use of a separate response_callback is situation dependent.
- during the response callback
- handle any response data, or a timeout/no response
- handle any retry?
- Example #2 - detecting when data not being received
- your remote XBee adapter should send a new sample every 1 minute, you want to catch if no data has arrived in over 2 minutes.
- at startup, schedule a no_data_callback 125 seconds (over 2 minutes). Assuming the XBee device is already configured, it should return its first data sample within the next 60 seconds.
- during your data receive callback:
- cancel the old pending no_data_callback
- turn off any no_data alarm or signal that data is arriving
- reschedule a new no_data_callback for 125 seconds in the future
- during the no_data_callback:
- signal your data alarm as desired
- reschedule a new no_data_callback for the future - you may want it to be 30 times the expected data rate, so perhaps in 30 minutes or even several hours. The first good data sample received will clear the alarm condition and restore the no_data_callback to 125 seconds
Timing and Jitter
The DIA is not a hard real-time system. Scheduling a callback in 5 or even 5000 seconds does not mean you'll get a callback at the exact time requested. A single thread is doing these callbacks, plus your callback runs in the context of that thread. That is why in the Example #1 above we are not supposed to wait for the poll. If it takes 6 seconds for a response, then any other DIA code expecting callback during those 6 seconds will NOT be called until after your response.
Your code must be a good-citizen. Never do anything in your callback which doesn't complete immediately.
Concurrency issues
If you have multiple callbacks due to multiple sources, they may be running in different thread contexts. For example, if you send a poll based on the 'scheduler' callback, but receive the data callback based on the XBee_Serial driver or other mechanism, then you may need to use semaphores (like threading.lock object) or the python queue object. Without this you might find that a new poll callback is called WHILE an older data callback is processing.
The simple DIA device file below shows examples of both uses of the scheduler.
The first 'kid' callback functions like the poll example above. It is rescheduled every 5 seconds for the first 25 seconds.
The second 'mom' callback functions like the no_data example above. It is also rescheduled every 5 seconds, but is to trigger at 10 seconds. This allows the 'kid' callback to cancel, so suppress the triggering of the 'mom' callback until the 'kid' gets tired of hiding from 'mom.

GV STRATUS new media services enable forward-looking master control and web/mobile distribution workflows
MONTREAL, April 7, 2014 — Grass Valley, a Belden Brand, today announced new media services for its market-leading GV STRATUS Nonlinear Media Production Tools. The GV STRATUS service-oriented architecture (SOA) allows customers to purchase, combine, and configure the precise functional components they need to build and orchestrate the most efficient workflows for their unique production environments with GV STRATUS News, GV STRATUS Live, GV STRATUS Digital Media Platforms (DMP), and GV STRATUS Playout.
The new GV STRATUS Playout is a secure and native cloud-based automation playout control solution hosted through Microsoft's Windows Azure system to orchestrate on-site media playout via SSD-based SSP-3801 playout cards that fit within the Densité modular platform.
GV STRATUS Playout was designed from the ground up to provide the most efficient approach to critical automation functions. It does this by employing a hybrid cloud approach. Customers retain full control of the location and movement of their broadcast media assets. Ingest, content preparation, and asset management remain on-site, with control and data management in the cloud.
"Broadcasters, although conservative in their workflow choices, have been trying to leverage the cloud to increase revenues and take cost and complexity out of their playout operations. They have not had much success, but that changes with GV STRATUS Playout," said Mike Cronk, Senior Vice President of Strategic Marketing, Grass Valley. "With the GV STRATUS Playout solution, content can be further localized at the edge without increasing satellite costs. Additionally, multi-channel playout operations can get on air quickly with low up-front costs and a small footprint and stay nimble for nearly limitless expansion. All these benefits can be achieved while giving staff full control and visibility of their media and all playout operations, whether they're local or remote."
GV STRATUS DMP is the industry's most highly integrated and powerful toolset for the delivery of content to the full spectrum of digital media platforms. It's also the first solution to enable live streaming of local newscasts with embargoed content replacement and hyper-client based advertising for television stations—delivering groundbreaking opportunities to strengthen brands and further monetize content to viewers on all types of devices.
Allowing a shift from a technology-centric approach to business-driven workflows, users can create a set of properties that accompany content throughout the production and preparation processes, and new properties can be created at each stage. Properties determine where content is sent and how it must be transcoded or reformatted by destination. Special instructions include destination-specific directives regarding content embargoes and content replacement instructions for both files and live streams, which can be added manually or automatically via Grass Valley's Ignite Automated Production System.
"Monetizing live content across multiple digital media platforms is a growing requirement for all types of content creators, but they need to do it in the most economical fashion possible," said Cronk. "GV STRATUS DMP not only enables the profitable monetization of content to new distribution channels, but it also reduces the cost of multiplatform distribution, which allows broadcasters to remain successful in today's highly competitive landscape."
GV STRATUS News provides news organizations with all the tools necessary to plan, create, publish, and archive news broadcasts, whether they are working in the newsroom or in the field. Transforming the way news organizations report news, this complete framework can be configured into agile, participatory workflows that adapt to the logic of news production and where any producer, writer, or journalist can participate in and add to the production process at any point in the workflow including user-generated content.
GV STRATUS Live includes a fast evolving set of tools and media services to efficiently manage and package content during and after a live event. In complex environments such as live studio production or sports production tasks, processes can change from one program to the next or from day to day. With the complete and reconfigurable GV STRATUS framework, live studios can design agile, participatory workflows that adapt to changing production needs, making it possible for any staff member to participate in and contribute to the production process at any point in the workflow.
"GV STRATUS is the foundation of Grass Valley's software offerings and the key enabler of sophisticated file-based workflows," added Cronk. "The power of GV STRATUS is unmatched in the industry. No other company can provide a seamless workflow that manages all aspects of content capture, production, and distribution within a single production toolset or database environment."
Grass Valley is exhibiting at NAB in Las Vegas from April 7-10, 2014 on booth SL206 and N2513.

old double hump heads
I have a set of old double hump heads that do not have the holes bored for the alternator and the power steering pump. What is the best option for me ? To try to have them bored or have special brackets made?
i dont know what your using them for but if you can get the original exshaust manifolds the holes are there. those heads are mid 60s or earlier. there are also a few aftermarket companys that make brackets fof your conversion i cant remember the names right now but ive seen the adds in streetrodder and rod and custom magazines.good luck
I have a 84 Z28 camaro with a 350 that has original heads I heard that the double humps would give me a few more horses. Please tell me if I am wrong...
I have several sets of those heads and found no problem useing them the only fabrication I had to do was the alternator bracket off the water pump but forget about the A/C. yes these heads will boost the horses and compression on your 84 350
Check the valve to piston clearance before you put it together. Or you mite have some bent valves and push rods. Most later pistons dont have enough clearance for the 2.02 valves plus any good lift cam.
You might pick up any streetrodder magazine and check out Billet Specialties brackets. They are also on the web. Alan Groves is another source for steel brackets,but I am not for sure they can be mounted without the use of the holes in the head. The Billet Specialties brackets mount off the water pump and the first two intake bolts on either head. They are polished billet aluminum and look great. They will allow for the alternator and A/C compressor. I use a Sanden compressor, don't know if a factory stock GM compressor will work or not.
Also, you'd better plan to have hardened valve seats installed. The old heads are made for leaded gas. They may perform for a while, but it won't take long running unleaded gas and the valves will begin to recess in the heads. Unleaded erodes the valve seats pretty quickly.
What casting number are they? I had a pair of 461X( the X is only on the underside) heads on a 71' 350. They seemed to work real well for me. As for the brackets I didn't have a problem finding something that worked for me. For the alt. the bracket bolted to the water pump and intake I think. I can't remember about the power steering but it worked.
these heads are great... i got teh 462s on my 327 and they are awesome. wth the 2.02 valves man they are sweet. anyway the brackets are no problem. go to any local auto parts store look in the mr, gasket crap. tehy have a litte pice that is attached by the header bolts and then u use an f braket for the alternator. then u can use any p/s pump off of liek any old chevy pickup that mounted down low on the two holes near the balancer. then a/c is kinda a challenge. i fabbed up a brakcet cause i couldnt; afford the march performance bracket. but those ore ncie brackets that march has and they ave them ofr eveyrhting.

i just bought an 05 wrx.
i new to the whole modding/upgrading cars thing so bear with me.
like i said i just got this car, i got it cheaper because it needs a new turbo, the engine got factory replaced ( new ) at 101k miles, the turbo didnt. currently the car has 144k miles. the engine has 43k. it is completely stock. it doesnt even have a boost gauge, i got to get one put in asap. it is a clean car, no wrecks. so now at 144k after owning the car for a month, the mechanic i took the car to(for its one month check up) says that the turbo is starting to burn / wear out. that i knew getting into this. so i guess i should get it done as soon as i can. anyways, my question to anyone is, can you help me find the right parts to replace with the car? i was hoping to replace the old turbo with another stock or something a little better with out dropping a ton of $$$ to do it.
i googled some turbos for wrxs and after of confusion i found these 2 on ebay, ( if anyone has a better place to buy parts for my car please let me know. )
Subaru TD04 Turbo 98 05 Forester Impreza WRX Turbocharger | eBay
TD05 TD05H 20g Turbo Charger Direct Bolt on Subaru Impreza WRX EJ20 EJ25 Engine | eBay
are either of these the right one i should get?
like i said, i know almost nothing when it comes to subaru parts/mods/upgrades. so any help would be awesome.
im 19 and dont have alot of mechanic experience. im not your average teenager either, this is my everyday car, so i have to take good care of this car, i cant afford to hot rod it around everywhere.
so far the few friends i have that have subis have said i should get an sti intercooler, a new bigger airflow pipe( i forget what the exact name of it was ), and a turbo vac exhaust for starters.
thats my plans for the car right now. but since i need the turbo first i need to get learned up on this stuff fast.
thank you for your help.

"Two-thirds of the ninth grade achievement gap can be explained by
unequal access to summer learning opportunities during the elementary
school years."
Moving Summer Learning Forward: A Strategic Roadmap for Funding in Tough Times
While summer learning is an emerging
strategy for education reform, uncertainty over how to pay for it, especially
in an environment of tough budget choices, has been a barrier for school
districts and community partners alike. But for those who know where to look
and devise creative strategies to combine funding streams for summer learning,
there is also substantial opportunity.
Developed by NSLA with the support of the
Charles Stewart Mott Foundation, Moving Summer Learning Forward: A
Strategic Roadmap for Funding in Tough Times is designed to help
state and local leaders identify the most promising funding streams to support
summer learning and show how innovative states, districts, and communities have
creatively developed and sustained high-quality summer programming.
Other resources for finding funding include:
The Foundation CenterThe Foundation Center maintains the most comprehensive database on U.S. and,
increasingly, global grantmakers and their grants — a robust, accessible
knowledge bank for the sector.
The Afterschool Alliance The Afterschool Alliance has numerous funding resources for afterschool providers, including tips to help initiate relationships with funders and businesses, and information on how to identify new funding opportunities.
21st Century Community Learning Centers The 21st Century Community Learning Centers website will help you to identify your state contact for this funding and get more information about specific funding guidelines.

OK time for an update. We've made a lot of progress in the tuning. Getting really close to where it needs to be. Our schedules have a lot to do with it. Every time we make progress, I have to go to school. But we are really close.
Car is doing great. No loose clamps no big leaks. Do have a very tiny leak from the oil pan where I tapped it but literally just a couple drops. I'll take care of that tomorrow before it gets any worse. Wasn't even enough to where it left the pan onto the driveway so not too concerned about it.
Turbo seems to be doing good. No smoke or other issues from it. Haven't put it through too much abuse other than wot for logs but its doing great. As soon as I get some more insight on how it holds up and some numbers from the dyno, I'll do a thread on it. Great spool from the wot runs so its doing its job. Other than that, nothing else to report. Ready to let this thing loose.

I've been asked that before.
Yes, I am mixed, actually. People already asked me that even when my hair was relaxed. Some people had met my mum and that's why they asked, but for few others, it's because of how different my hair seemed from theirs.
About the West African thing, my dad's West African. In West Africa, I've noticed that many people and many hair stylists don't know how to take care of their hair. That is what makes it look kinda "cloud-like." If people cared for their hair better, it wouldn't look like that.
Things I use:
Olive Oil, Canola oil, rosemary oil, aloe vera gel, shea butter, mayonnaise, eggs, milk, bananas
Everything I use is 100% natural. I make most of them myself because then I'm sure what's in it and I'm sure nothing's added, it's pure, it's natural.
Things I avoid:
Mineral oil (codename: Baby oil), heat (I'm a total, no hair driers, no straighteners, no curling irons, no flat irons, no hot combs...nada), sodium chloride
Growing plan:
At least 6 inches longer in a year.

Since its inception in the fall of 2007, The Immanent Frame has organized and hosted a wide range of critical dialogues on secularism, religion, and the public life, from extended colloquies on noteworthy new books to ongoing exchanges on the complex role of secularism and religion in both U.S. politics and international affairs. Related discussions have explored and debated the power of religion and the significance of secularism in the public sphere, in cognitive science, in sexuality and marriage, and in politicaland intellectual criticism.
Most recently, The Immanent Frame has organized a series of exchanges on religious freedom and U.S. foreign policy, on the concept of civil religion, on the politics of spirituality, and on the emergence of a "strong program" in the sociology of religion. Recent discussions of new books by Courtney Bender and Stefanos Geroulanos can be found at the TIF book blog.

In "Secularism: Its Content and Context," an SSRC Working Paper, Akeel Bilgrami addresses two questions: first, the meaning of secularism and second, its justification and implementation. Engaging Charles Taylor's recent calls for a "radical" redefinition of secularism, he offers an alternative conceptualization of the category, while also addressing Taylor's deep concerns about the politics of secularism for our time. According to Bilgrami, secularism has its point and meaning not in a decontextualized philosophical argument but in the historical and contextual specificities in which it is applied. In the end, secularism "needs, not replacement, but merely proper implementation, in order to get us 'beyond toleration.'"

- The Unintended Reformation
The last decade or so has seen a steady stream of publications seeking to cast light on the roles that theology and religion have played in shaping modern societies, politics, and human self-understanding. Keeping with the spirit of the literature's dissatisfaction with the present and with the failure of modernity to live up to its promise of an emancipated and happy humanity, Brad Gregory's The Unintended Reformation traces the absence of any substantive common good, and the triumph of capitalism, consumerism, and individualism to the long-term effects of the Protestant Reformation. Yet can the social and political ills of modern societies indeed be understood as more or less direct, if unforeseeable, consequences of the Protestant Reformation? What is the contemporary import of thinking of modernity as the degradation of an earlier, more wholesome age? What sort of philosophical or theological premises underlie Gregory's understanding of history, and how are political and socioeconomic factors to be incorporated into his account of modernization? We have invited scholars to respond to these questions, to evaluate Gregory's thesis, and to offer their critiques of how his work might fit into broader historical patterns of interpreting the relationship between modernity and its past.

Memo to Debtors - If you plan to file for bankruptcy, do it now!
On April 20 President Bush signed into law the Bank-ruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act. This legislation makes sweeping changes to the U.S. bankruptcy law, it extremel difficult to use bankruptcy as a tool to erase your debt. If you need to file for bankruptcy, consider filing before the legislation takes effect in October.
New Eligibility Criteria
When filing for bankruptcy, debtors have two options: Chapter 7, which provides a discharge of all outstanding debts, and Chapter 13, which provides for a reorganization of debts and systematic repayment. Under the new bankruptcy legislation, now to file Chapter 7 bankruptcy, the debtor must meet a "means test." This test stipulates that any debtor with an income higher than the median income for families of the debtor's size in his state would be exempt from filing Chapter 7, unless the debtor could prove extraordinary circumstances. The foundation of the means test is the debtor's average income over the prior six months. From this figure, payments for back taxes, past-due child support and payments for mortgage and a car are subtracted. Child educational expenses for both private and public schools are also subtracted, but they are limited to $1,500 per child per year. Finally, a small living expense stipend is deducted. If, after deducting these amounts, the debtor could pay at least $6,000 to unsecured creditors over five years, the debtor is prohibited from discharging his debts through a Chapter 7 filing.
Calculating Disposable Income
Under current law, a debtor's disposable income, which is used to determine how much of the prefiling debt must be repaid, is determined by the judge's assessment of what living expenses are necessary and reasonable. Prepayment plans typically run three years but no longer than five years. Under the new legislation, disposable income will be calculated using IRS collection standards. Debtors whose gross income exceeds the state median will be required to remain in Chapter 13 for five years.
With the new legislation, debtors must obtain approved credit counseling before they can file a case and all unfiled tax returns must be filed within weeks of the commencement of the case. Most important, the legislation provides that lawyers for the debtor face personal liability for monetary sanctions if a Chapter 7 case is filed and the debtor is found to be ineligible for Chapter 7 or, if' later, facts in the bankruptcy petition are disproved. These new requirements and the associated financial threat to bankruptcy attorneys will certainly drive up costs and may make some attorneys uncomfortable filing Chapter 7 petitions.
Extended Filing Intervals
Under current law, a debtor may file for Chapter 13 bankruptcy immediately after a Chapter 7 filing in order to organize the repayment of debt that survived the Chapter 7 filing. In addition, Chapter 7 bankruptcy may be filed again in the seventh year following a previous Chapter 7 filing. With the new legislation, a Chapter 13 filing may occur only within four years of a Chapter 7 discharge, and the interval between Chapter 7 filings has been extended from seven years to nine years.
Automatic Stay
Perhaps the biggest and most potent change in the bankruptcy law is the near elimination of the automatic stay. Under current law, when bankruptcy is filed, the "automatic stay" provision uniformly stops collection actions against the debtor or his property and requires creditors who want to continue enforcement to get permission from the bankruptcy court. Under the new legislation, the automatic stay is conditioned on a variety of circumstances, eliminating the automatic stoppage in collection actions. Filing bankruptcy will no longer stay acts to collect back support, or stop the revocation of driver's licenses or professional licenses. In addition, creditors omitted from the official list of creditors are free to continue collection actions even if they have actual notice of the bankruptcy. If a prior bankruptcy case is dismissed, the duration or even the existence of a stay is limited in subsequent cases, and landlords are freed to complete evictions, even when the tenant-debtors are paying rent.
According to the American Bank- ruptcy Institute, While it is still possible to cancel debts through bankruptcy, the ability to do so has been drastically reduced through the new, recently passed bankruptcy legislation.

TransferJet technology equipped au mobile phone
KDDI gave a demonstration of Close Proximity Wireless Transfer technology "Transfer Jet" which can transfer data at very high-speed with very simple operation. "Transfer Jet" was developed by SONY and enables a high speed data transmission rate of 560Mbps, while eliminating the need for complex setup and operation. By directly touching two compliant electronic products together allows files to be transferred automatically, without any needs for an access point. For instance, touching a TV with a digital camera enables photos to be instantaneously displayed on the TV screen. Alternatively, downloaded music content can be easily enjoyed by touching a mobile phone to a portable audio player. "Transfer Jet" can be used as a universal interface across all consumer electronics devices. In this demonstration KDDI performed downloading 4M byte of music content in around 2 seconds by just touching a mobile phone onto a device. The Transferjet has been established as consortiums of a group of international companies among them are Eastman Kodak Company, SAMSUNG ELECTRONICS CO., LTD, where Sony Corporation is acting as consortium administrator. For more information please visit TransferJet web site.

If the cake isn't baking- it may be because the ingredients are cold. Cold ingredients stall baking. Bring fruit/rice milk etc to room temperature.

Thank you so much for this wonderful recipe! I LOVE your flexibility in giving substitutes for items that I didn't have in my pantry. So I used rice flour instead of sorghum & millet flour instead of buckwheat. I didn't have enough brown sugar so I used about 3/4 cups white & used what brown sugar I had for the topping. I did have a 9" diameter & 3" deep cake pan. I also had to add another 15 minutes to the baking. Wow did it turn out! I'd gladly pay $5 for a slice of this fantastic looking & tasting cake! I'm going to wait until it cools down and do as you suggested and cut it in slices and wrap it up & keep it in the freezer for future indulgences (otherwise the cake may be gone by the end of the day!) Thank you so much for this keeper!!!meibellehttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-19281824.post-47132338075954628492011-08-12T14:08:48.027-07:002011-08-12T14:08:48.027-07:00Yum!

This was my first endeavor into glute...Ah.May.Zing. This was my first endeavor into gluten free baking, and I have to say, it gives me hope! I've only been gluten free for about 6 weeks now, with a few (very painful) hiccups along the way. (and dairy free for about 10) I'm an excellent cook, and an above-average baker, and I can't even describe how much I've been morning certain foods, like cake. I really didn't think I'd ever be able to make anything as delicious as non-gluten-free options.

So, I had a family get-together for Easter today, and I offered to bring dessert since that would be the toughest thing for someone unequipped with gluten free ingredients to come up with. I chose this recipe, 'cause it looked pretty and festive, and there are tons of rave reviews. I used frozen (thawed) cherries, and safflower oil instead of light olive, but other than that, I followed the recipe precisely. It was so freaking good, even for a non-gluten free cake.

I'm assuming you have a recipe for this cake, pre-gluten-free years, and I'm wondering if you might be willing to share it with me? It looks amazing, and I use tons of your recipes, but I don't really venture into the different types of flours, etc.
Thanks so much!

My diet has narrowed down to a few (very tasty) meals. I've tried all sorts of different flour combos, one very poor banana bread recipe (that never felt fully baked), listened to my daughters refuse all sorts of experiments and then, simply, did without.

However, I was thrilled to see food (simple to make, dare I say) that actually looks baked/cooked and sincerely enjoyable.

Thank you!! Thank you so much for showing me a way through. I'm sharing your blog with all my other friends with food problems.

Thank you.

G and C- Thanks for letting us know that it worked with brown rice flour and amaranth. Interesting- I imagine!

Pat- I'm thinking it's actually potato starch. The Jewish baking recipes I have all call for potato starch- which makes for a light and fluffy baked product. Potato flour might be used sparingly in a rustic country style bread- but- in general? Too heavy. I'd stick to the starch. Perhaps it's simply what people called it- "flour"...

And thanks, Intolerant Chef, Ann, Johanna, Bendy Tree, for your (always!) lovely response.

I have a question Karina. I've been doing some research for gluten free traditional foods from around the world for my website. Many Jewish Passover recipes call for potato starch, like you specify above, but some call for potato flour.

Do you think they really mean potato starch, or is potato flour commonly found in Jewish markets? Are you familiar with recipes that should use potato flour instead of potato starch?

Florida GOP officials call on Radel to step down
TAMPA, Fla. - A U.S. Congressman who recently pleaded guilty to cocaine possession says he is focusing on rehab and will return to work as soon as possible, despite calls from Florida's top Republican Party officials for him to step down.
A spokesman for Republican U.S. Rep. Trey Radel said Tuesday that the Fort Myers congressman's top priority is to complete his rehabilitation.
On Monday, the chairman of the Republican Party of Florida suggested Radel should step down after his recent cocaine conviction in Washington, D.C., joining a growing number of party leaders in Radel's own district calling for his resignation.
The heads of the Republican Party in Lee and Collier counties also have called on Radel to resign.

Pasta Carbonara
Jim Tuttle - Mount Dora Historic Inn
Recipe type: Entree
Serves: 4
- ⅔ pound linguini-2/3 box; although, fresh pasta is better (cook accordingly)
- 1 gallon salted water
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 4 ounces pancetta or slab bacon, diced
- 1 teaspoon diced garlic
- ⅓ cup white wine (Pinot Grigio or white Italian table wine)
- ½ cup heavy cream
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- ⅔ cup grated Pecorino Romano
- 3 egg yolks
- Start salted water in a large pasta pot over medium-high heat-do not burn the water
- Add the oil and pancetta to a large sauté pan over low heat. Cook the pancetta (or, bacon) until crisp, being careful not to burn it, about 5 minutes-set aside.
- In a separate sauté pan use two tablespoons of pan drippings and sauté the garlic for one to two minutes (lightly brown-do not burn the garlic).
- Add the wine, cream and black pepper. Cook until the sauce coats the back of a spoon allow to cool for 10 minutes stirring occasionally
- Drop the linguini into salted water (2 teaspoon for 1 gallon of water)-do not add oil to water-and cook until very al dente (about 7 minutes with dry pasta)
- Special tip: keep stirring pasta for the first two to three minutes to prevent pasta from sticking together-never use oil for this purpose.
- Special tip: if you use oil to keep pasta from sticking you also prevent the sauce from marrying with the pasta-it just slides right off-where's the flavor?
- Add pasta straight from the boiling salted water drain slightly-do not rinse-and toss with pancetta for 1 minute over low heat
- While pasta and pancetta are finishing, combine cream mixture, and egg yolks together in a small bowl
- Pour egg and cream over pasta and half of the Pecorino Romano cheese, remove from heat and toss well-be careful not to break the pasta
- Immediately transfer to serving dish, top with remaining cheese and enjoy
- As you cook this dish, for years to come, you will figure out that you can use one sauté pan for easier clean up. To keep it simple, however, I did recommend two.
- Note: you cannot burn water

text: Old timers need no introduction to VJ, but some of the younger fans might dig a look at one of the most important cogs in the Detroit Bad Boys Machine. Vinnie Johnson was the 3rd guard for the Pistons, a player so valuable that Bad Boys coach Chuck Daly devised a 3 man rotation around Isiah Thomas, Joe Dumars and Johnson, with all three subbing through the guard positions during any given game because VJ would have been a starter on many other teams, and could play both backcourt positions. VJ was always the first man off the bench, and when hot, was nearly unstoppable on offense. He was a Seattle SuperSonics draft pick, traded to Detroit for (now FSN color man) Greg Kelser. That was 1981, the same year that Isiah Thomas and Bill Laimbeer became Pistons. The beginning of a turnaround for the league laughingstock Pistons. Danny Ainge nicknamed Johnson "The Microwave" for his ability to come off the bench and score in bunches. VJ is an often overlooked character in a dramatic cast that included Laimbeer, Dumars, Rodman, and Thomas, but his contributions were just as significant, particularly when he nailed the go ahead basket in the 5th game of the 1990 Finals. That shot left 7 tenths of a second on the clock and made the Pistons back to back champions, erasing any doubt that their previous Finals victory over the Lakers was a fluke.

The Gauteng government has vowed to spend less on catering, travel, accommodation and telecommunications in an effort to cut costs.
This is in line with Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan's call for all spheres of government to implement cost cutting measures.
The province will however continue with massive investments on infrastructure to boost economic growth.
It will spend R41billion over the next three years to build roads, hospitals, clinics and schools to improve the delivery of basic services.
Gauteng Finance MEC Barbara Creecy presented the 2016/17 budget in the legislature in Johannesburg on Tuesday.
The Gauteng Departments' of Education and Health have received the biggest budget allocations.
Creecy made the announcement when she tabled her R103 billion provincial budget.
Education's budget has increased from R36 billion to R39 billion, while the health budget has been increased by R2 billion to R37 billion.
Creecy says they can't compromise on education and health as they are government's main priorities.
"Because of the pressure that health and education face from the ever increasing population of the province, we will continue to increase funding to these two departments over the medium term even in the face of a tight fiscal environment," says Creecy.
The Department of Economic Development has been allocated R1.3 billion as part of efforts to grow the province's economy and reduce unemployment.
The province has also vowed to speed up the implementation of the open tender system to clamp down on corruption
The funds will also support emerging small to medium businesses. The MEC says they want to support various industrial and skills centres until they become fully-fledged businesses and industrial hubs.
"This includes the R195 million we've set aside to enhance local economic activity by establishing and refurbishing existing industrial zones including the Orlando Industrial Park, Saulsville Industrial Park, Resudentia Industrial Park, Khutsong Business Hub, Hammanskraal Skills Centre, Mabopane Skills Centre, Ennerdale Skills Centre, Alexandra Industrial Park and Kwa-Thema Business Park," says Creecy.
The R5.2 billion will go towards the delivery of houses and roads and transport gets R2.3 billion.
The province has also vowed to speed up the implementation of the open tender system to clamp down on corruption.
The MEC further says there's a need to improve project management to strengthen clean governance and improve financial controls.

While we have been waiting patiently for a hands-on look at the next gen processors from Intel in Vegas this January at CES, news of three Sandy Bridge CPUs going on sale in Malaysia comes as something of a surprise.
But, despite our disbelief, we see a picture of the Core i5-2300, the i5-2400, and the Core i7-2600 on the shop floor in a Compuzone store in Malaysia in the picture below. Not only do we see the items in their boxes but we get prices and speeds for each of them. The high end Core i7 clocks in at 3.4GHz and will set you back 939 Malaysian ringgits (RM) or about £190. This is followed by 609RM (£125) for the 3.1GHz 2400, and 585RM (£120) for the 2.8GHz 2300.
Sandy Bridge is the company's first architecture to incorporate a CPU and GPU on the same silicon and last September we saw some demos at the Intel Developer Forum, which suggested these products will be quite powerful indeed. We hope that the items going on sale in Malaysia this early is a good sign that Intel is on target to bring everything they promised to CES in January and we will bring you first hand information from Vegas as soon as we get it.
In related news it has been reported that Intel will be introducing upgraded anti-theft technology in the vPro-equipped Sandy Bridge chips. Intel's David Allen confirmed Intel is set to include the ability to remotely disable Sandy Bridge-based systems from a remote administration console. In other words, a type of "kill-switch" will be included which will allow lost or stolen laptops to be remotely disabled. Something Government departments will be very interested in, no doubt.

'The work starts here': Tearful Sandy Hook parents vow to press on with gun reform as Congress passes background check deal
- Gun control bill passes in Senate with bipartisan support
- Calls for nearly universal background checks and smaller additions
- Now heads to House of Representatives, which may be rockier
Congress' most serious gun-control effort in years passed the first step towards legalization on Thursday as the Senate pushed past conservatives' attempted blockade under the teary gaze of families of victims of December's Connecticut school shootings.
The bipartisan 68-31 vote rebuffed an effort to keep debate from even starting, giving an early victory - and perhaps political momentum - to President Barack Obama and his gun control allies.
Four months after 20 first-graders and six staffers at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown were killed, relatives watching the vote from a gallery overlooking the Senate floor dabbed at tears and clasped hands, some seeming to pray.
Scroll down for video
In their honor: Erica Lafferty, the daughter of Sandy Hook principal Dawn Hochsprung, and Jillian Soto, the sister of slain teacher Victoria Soto, spoke alongside senators after the new bill passed Congress
Emotional: Jillian Soto was surrounded by other parents and family members who lost relatives in the December 14 shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School, many of whom have been pushing for stricter gun laws ever since
Emotional: Many of the Newtown relatives, including Jillian Soto, were present as they have pushed legislators to take action, specifically requiring background checks for all gun sales which was approved today
Even so, few supporters of the legislation are confident of victory. Several weeks of emotional, unpredictable Senate debate lie ahead, and a mix of gun-rights amendments, opposition from the National Rifle Association and skepticism from House Republican leaders leave big questions about what will emerge from Congress.
Today the bill passed through the Senate with bi-partisan support. It still needs to be approved by the House of Representatives in Congress before becoming law, but if it is passed it will:
- subject nearly all gun buyers to background checks
- add muscle to federal laws barring illicit firearm sales
- provide slightly more money for school safety measures.
Foes of the proposed new restrictions say they would penalize law-abiding citizens and do nothing to curb gun violence.
'The hard work starts now,' said Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, the Democrat who brought the legislation to the floor for debate.
Still, in a Congress marked by a notable lack of cooperation between Democrats and Republicans, Thursday's vote was one of several displays of unusual rapport across party lines.
Hoping to bring pressure on Congress to act on gun control, supporters of new restrictions have been demonstrating in Washington.
They have erected a mock graveyard with thousands of crosses on the National Mall, symbolizing victims of gun violence.
Starting in: Volunteer Martin Witchger begins putting some of the crosses in the lawn of the National Mall early Thursday morning hours before the background check bill passed its first hurdle in Congress
Big numbers: All told, there were 3,300 markers on the Mall as that is the number of people affected by gun violence in the U.S. since December 14, the date of the Newtown shooting
Making an impact: Gun control advocates set up a display of crosses and Stars of David on the National Mall as a mock cemetery to show how many people lose their lives to guns
The Senate's firearms bill would subject nearly all gun buyers to background checks, add muscle to federal laws by barring illicit firearm sales and provide slightly more money for school safety measures.
Excluded and facing near-certain defeat in upcoming votes were proposals to ban military-style weapons and high-capacity ammunition magazines - factors in the Newtown killings some other recent mass shootings. But keeping those provisions out of the current legislation did not mollify critics.
Opponents said the remaining proposals were unwarranted intrusions on the Second Amendment right to bear arms, would be ignored by criminals and would do little to prevent future Newtowns.
Obama's plans have received scant support from Republicans and many moderate Democrats, with many saying they prefer improvements in dealing with the mentally ill and stronger enforcement of existing laws.
Hoping for momentum: Lori Haas, a mother who lost a relative to gun violence, is one of the many people who have been pushing for attention to be paid to the Sandy Hook relatives proposals
'I'm not interested in a symbolic gesture which would offer the families of the Sandy Hook shootings no real solutions that they seek,' said Senator John Cornyn of Texas, the Senate's second-leading Republican.
Congress hasn't approved major gun restrictions since enacting an assault weapons ban 19 years ago, a prohibition that lawmakers let lapse after a decade.
Some potential amendments could broaden gun rights and weaken supporters' backing for the overall bill.
One proposal is by Republican Senator Lindsey Graham and Democratic Senator Mark Begich who say it would improve how the federal background check system blocks weapons from going to people with certain mental problems, though critics say it would make it harder in some cases to do so. Another possible amendment would require states to recognize permits for carrying concealed weapons issued by other states.
In Thursday's vote, 50 Democrats and 2 Democratic-leaning independents were joined by 16 Republicans in voting to begin debate on the legislation.
Support: Democratic Senator Chuck Schumer from New York has been one of the strongest advocates for pushing through the more strict gun control laws
Proximity: New York's Schumer was joined alongside Connecticut Senator Richard Blumenthal when he addressed the press and the Newtown relatives
Twenty-nine Republicans and two Democrats facing re-election next year in GOP-leaning states voted 'no' - Alaska's Begich and Mark Pryor of Arkansas.
After the roll call, Obama spoke by phone with some Newtown families and said he would 'keep fighting for the votes they deserve,' said White House spokesman Jay Carney.
The Senate plans to debate an amendment Tuesday expanding background checks less broadly than the overall legislation would. Broadening the system to cover more transactions is the heart of the current effort on guns.
That amendment, a compromise between Republican Senator Patrick Toomey and Democratic Senator Joe Manchin would subject buyers in commercial settings like gun shows and the Internet to the checks but exempt non-commercial transactions like sales between friends and relatives.
Reaching out: Democratic Senator Joe Manchin from West Virginia met with Newtown in his office. He was one of the leaders on the background check bill that was approved in Congress today
That accord, unveiled Wednesday, was designed to build bipartisan support for the legislation and seemed likely to do so. Toomey and Manchin are among the most conservative members of their parties and are both gun owners with NRA ratings of A, which is the highest that the gun lobbyist awards.
Toomey said Thursday he believes supporters of his compromise with Manchin would be able to beat back any filibuster attempt.
'Beyond that, I just don't know yet,' he said on 'CBS This Morning.'
Gun-control groups have embraced the Manchin-Toomey compromise with varying degrees of enthusiasm, and they continued to applaud it on Thursday - while also expressing concerns about some provisions.
Possible roadblock: Skepticism from House Republican leaders like House Speaker John Boehner leave big questions about what will emerge from Congress
Besides the exemption for private sales, gun control advocates expressed displeasure with language letting gun dealers sell handguns to out-of-state customers, exempting some holders of permits for concealed weapons from background checks and shielding individuals who sell guns from some negligence lawsuits.
'We are optimistic that this bill will make a dramatic difference in reducing gun violence,' said Dan Gross, president of the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence.
The NRA said it opposed the Manchin-Toomey compromise and warned senators that it would count votes on provisions it opposes in its evaluation of candidates that it provides its members, who the organization says number nearly 5 million.
