RP Singh is going to open the bowling. One slip in place
Out come Murali Vijay and Mike Hussey. Danny tells us that there is a lot of lightening around the ground and we've had feedback from some of our Kerala readers saying it's raining.
Kochi in a huddle and we are just about ready to go.
19:30 Kochi win the toss and will bowl
There was some confusion with the call there, seems that Robin Jackman couldn't hear the call correctly. Jayawardene says that there is probably something in the track for the first few overs. He reckons 150-160 is a par score and Kochi are keeping the same starting XI as they had against Mumbai.
Doug Bollinger finally gets his chance after the integral role he played in CSK winning the tournament last season. He replaces Suraj Randiv, so clearly Dhoni expects something for the quicks. Dhoni would also have liked to field first and with thunder around thinks it may rain and the match could be shortened. Let's hope not.
Praveen not happy about Randiv being dropped. "Why drop Randiv? he's been the best spinner..look at the stats."
But Tony is torn about who to support, not sure if his colourful refers to the personalities or the outfits. "Two of the most colourful teams and in my book,two of the most composed captains, and two teams that i represent : mum from chennai and dad from kochi. Glad am not at home!"
Nish asks why VVS Laxman is given only one or two games a season. He seems to have a bad back again. Anshumaan wants to see another South African in CSK. He says, "I think Du Plessis should have been given a game in the place of morkel. His leg spin will add variety."
Loving Danny Morrison's opening line, "Monday night in the deep South." Sounds so cowboyish.
I've got Shirish asking if I am wearing a lilac and orange sari. It's 13 degrees in Johannesburg, so not at all.
19:25 Hello and Welcome to the match between Kochi and Chennai. It's been talked up as the battle of the bat, as Sid Ravi explains in his preview. You can read it here.
Kochi are on high after their win over Mumbai. That was quite some chase, spoiling the party after Sachin Tendulkar scored a century. It was a great result for the new franchise, but I still think the lilac and orange is sari material.
Chennai have been pretty superb so far, and beat Bangalore two days ago. They do look very strong, so this will be a tough test for Kochi.

Here we go again...
Thanks for all the feedback about green tea, it is being consumed here in chilly Johannesburg.
22:10 Play will resume at 22:20. The match has been reduced to 17 overs a side and there will be 5 overs of fielding restrictions in the Kochi innings. Two bowlers can bowl four overs and three bowlers will bowl three overs each.
Sones has a correction for Anirudh, I don't know what to believe now? "Green" in Kerala is "Pacha".
Anirudh gives me my answer. "Green tea......Haree chai! and the game will hopefully be a cracker when the rain eventually stops!" got the kettle on the boil but not holding thumbs on the latter.
21:40 Raining steadily and covers still on. Umpire Hariharan, who is a local, says that once it starts drizzling in this part of the country, it doesn't stop. And that there is still a chance of a start if the rain stops. Umpire Hill explains the rule again. "We can wait until there is only time for five overs left in the game. We have 20 minutes before we start losing overs."
We can see Murali on the field, talking to another Murali - Murali Vijay. So the players are getting to bond and the cup of tea calls for real now.
A lesson in tea for me, and any others, from Subhash. "when you are in Rome, be Roman, so now you are in Kochi not chai..say "Chaya" ..., or go for a "kattan chaya" ( black Tea )." I usuallu drink green tea, so I'll wait to find out what that is.
Abid tells us that is raining very heavily in Calicut.
Abhishek, and a few others, not happy with Suresh's suggestion. "Err..I am little confused? How is 23 runs from 22 deliveries (only 3 fours) a rampage in 20-20 game?" Fair point, although, I thought we were letting this be now. Think it's time to make a cup of chai.
Jake Smith has this to offer for a headline. "Bad weather saves Badri." Ok, ok, we've exhausted these options now. I hear the highlights of SRT's century are on in India and my colleague, Dustin, says this may attract more viewers than the live match. It's almost 21:30 and it doesn't seem anything has changed in Kochi.
Suresh has a go at the headline contest too. "Rain stops Raina's rampage," he sends in. If we do get back on, Raina had better have a big innings up his sleeve.
Vinoth adds to that, although I'm not sure if this is a good sign. "Amazing, I am some 5 kms away from the ground and it's not raining here. Weird weather."
George from Kochi offers us some hope. "Although evening shower are normal at this time of the year It never rains after 10PM. Dont worry."
We've got readers in Saudi Arabia, like Daniel Alexander quite upset with the weather. "Rain Rain Go Away!!! The whole Saudi Arabia was waiting for the match to start."
Surya wins the headline competition. I'm sure this will appear in tomorrow's papers if we don't resume. "Rain stops Raina."
Let's recap the rain rules: the match can be extended to one hour after the scheduled close of 11pm IST. Five overs constiutute a match and if it is a washout the teams will get one point each.
While we wait for the rain to stop, we can celebrate the anniversary of the IPL. On this day, 2008, the first IPL match was played between KKR and RCB. That was the game where Brendon McCullum scored 158 not out, still the highest individual score in the IPL.
Something else we can celebrate (or not, depending on our tastes) is that Sreesanth's hair is black again. He is on telly now, being asked about the rain and the home boy says it could go on for a while, because there is no wind.
21:00 Good news. The rain has reduced and the super sopper is out
20:50 More covers coming on.
20:46 Rain Gomez was ready to bowl but the umpires meet for a long chat. It's got heavier and the players walk off the field.
Gomez to Raina, FOUR, Gomez starts for real this time and Raina gets an inside egde on that, misses legstump and runs down to fine leg, Ramesh Powar can't get to it

Jadeja to Dhoni, SIX, Dhoni ends it in style. He gets down on one knee, that's a clean stroke over mid-wicket and it's gone a long way. Thwack.
The D/L revised target has set Kochi 135 runs to win. They have 17 overs to get that. It's 135 off 102 balls needed for Kochi to win
Dhoni and Albie took CSK over the 130 mark right at the end. A decent total, considering the rain break and how well Kochi bowled straight after that. A good effort from RP Singh and Vinay Kumar from Kochi's side and Raina's half century held the Chennai innings together. Join us in a few minutes for the chase.
Lots been made of MS hitting a six off the last ball. Sravan sends in this. "That swirl of Dhoni's bat alone could create a low pressure region, bringing in loads of rain!"

text: I so miss the days of crime investigation shows like Kojack, Mannix, Hawaii 5-0, Rockford Files, Wise Guy, et al. They all seemed to have their own identity. Yes, today's such shows are perhaps more realistic than most of those. But there seems to be a thousand cookie-cutter shows on the air, unrecognizable from one another. That's why I have given them up. However, I accidentally watched most of a recent episode of Crossing Jordan and I found it interesting. What do you all think? Do you recomend it?

North Central Florida Leaders Hope to See Federal Stimulus Money
Gainesville has a twenty page document with a wish list of immediate, short-term and long-term projects totaling $488,000,000. Whereas Levy County has this one page survey with 6 projects totaling about $25,000,000.
Nonetheless, the federal economic stimulus package has given hope and visions of dollars signs to officials across North Central Florida.
Russ Blackburn, Gainesville City Manager said the Sixth Street Trail Project, along with resurfacing Northwest Eighth Avenue are two top priority projects that fit the criteria of the bill.
"It's a bonus for us in that some of these projects were either not funded or if we get funding through the stimulus it frees up money that we had allocated so we can provide another project to our citizens," Blackburn said.
Ocala and Marion County leaders discussed their possibilities for stimulus money in a joint meeting Thursday. They prioritized $9,000,000 of resurfacing projects and $30,000,000 of other road projects.
"The top two are Northeast 36th Avenue and Northeast 25th Avenue. They are located in the northeast quadrant of Ocala and are in dire need of resurfacing." said Ocala Marion County Transportation Planning Organization Director Greg Slay.
Levy County is asking for help with FDT mandated improvements to the Cedar Key Airstrip. They've also listed three bridges that need improvements and resurfacing of County Road 40 between Marion County and Yankeetown.
"The employment in Levy County is in big need right now so all of the projects would generate employment opportunities as well for contractors and materials and things like that," said Levy County Coordinator Freddie Moody.
Job creation is exactly what Congress is hoping for, but if the stimulus doesn't work, Moody worries what might happen.
"It fixes a lot of one-time things and economically we hope things are in place by the time the money runs out so we don't go right back to square one where we are today," Moody said.
Alachua County leaders have their own $435,000,000 project wish list. County Manager Randall Reid said he's pretty confident stimulus money will fund the 62nd Street connector between Butler Plaza and the Oaks Mall but there's no telling if or when the money will actually arrive.

Event Details
"Chill & Spill helped our agency engage youth in the way that made sense to them. It's edgy and creative and so it doesn't feel like therapy – the very reason why it works so well."~ Social Worker, Casey Family Programs
"It is a huge success that all the boys bonded to their Chill & Spill books and saw how art could be a way to cope and find healing." ~ Therapist, Griffin Home Residential Treatment Facility
"The Chill & Spill group helped students compartmentalize whatever hard stuff they were dealing with so they could deal with school." ~ Middle School Prevention/Intervention Specialist
Friday, October 4 from 3-7PM and Saturday, Oct. 5 from 8:30AM-5:30PM
Chill & Spill (C&S) is a therapeutic curriculum and hands-on approach that...
- Teaches creative expression as a tool to reach reluctant youth and engage groups
- Helps youth increase self awareness and manage difficult emotions
- Encourages coping skills, as well as social and emotional learning (SEL)
- Provides a "heal the healer" opportunity for youth care professionals
This intensive day-and-a-half course prepares participants to bring the program to adolescents and will teach them:
- The benefits of the program as demonstrated by a year-long evaluation study, including the conceptual and research base for the role of creativity and its application in mental health promotion
- Hands-on artistic experience in a variety of media (creative writing, collage, painting, poetry)
- Basic skills necessary to strengthen relationships with youth through creativity
Combining best practices of cognitive behavioral, narrative and art therapies, this evidence-based curriculum helps youth in distress. This hands-on workshop, led by Annie McCall, MA, LMHC (co-founder of Youth & Family DBT of Seattle) and Steffanie Lorig, co-author of Chill & Spill, will teach you how to use the healing arts to help kids in your car through lecture, hands-on activities, and group discussion.

changing distributor to magnetic pick up
My son has an 86 dodge GLH non turbo 2.2. All emissions and the computer have been removed and we added a MSD and new coil, but were told the MSD would not connect to the distributor unless it was converted to a magnetic pickup. I have the pickup with black, red, and aluminum wires coming from it.
My questions are; how do I connect those wires to the green and purple wires from the MSD, and how critical is the positioning of the magnetic pickup, should it be horizontal across from the rotor, and should it be adjustable to set timing?
My knowledge is limited on the internal working of the distributor.
Thanks for any help!
b bailey
MSD has a web site with all thier instruction free for download. Bet you can find out how there.
I have contacted MSD and they were not very helpful. I am pretty sure of what I need to do beween the MSD and the distributor. My issue is how to corectly modify the distributor to a magnetic pickup.
thank you for your help
What kind of pickup does it have now?
Not sure how to spell it, it is a Hal Effect. It sits under the base of the cap and looks like (for lack of a better term) a space ship with a magnetized pickup and three wires, red, green, and black.
What was explained to me was the MSD would not recieve a signal from this type of pickup and it need to be converted.
A friend of mine got a magnetic pickup (3/8" diameter 1 1/2" long with black and red wires) from a chrysler race engine company that the guy said to build a bracket and drill a hole thru the side of the cap to line it up were the old pickup was.
THe missing details have me concerned as to how this is really going to work. My biggest concerns are proper location of pickup and loss of weatherability/driveability with a hole in the cap.
I think once I understand better the functionality of all the components within the distributor that will help.
Sounds like I have a real mess?
Sorry I took a while to get back. I keep forgeting to look into the advanced rodding section. The Hall effect sensor set up is far superior than a magnetic pickup because it gives a very stable and sharp signal at high RPM. The magnetic type's signal tends tp flatten out and eventually becomes unreadable at high RPM. Some MSD control units hook up to points ignition system where the points just give a grounded signal. The module that's connected to the Hall effect sensor does just that- grounds the coil to earth. Maybe u should send the unit back and get one that works for points and just connect the wire going to the coil negative to the MSD unit and connect the MSD unit to the coil. I'm curious to see how u go because I've just fitted a Hall effect sensor setup on my SBC - cost me $11 in used parts lol and works a treat.
You should be able to hook up a common ignition module to the hall sensor and then run the output of the module to the MSD. Then MSD to distributor. If you do a google for hall sensor ignition module, I bet you can come up with a part number. The Hall is much better and can definately be used in conjunction with an amplifier(ignition module).
thank you for all your help. I will try to locate an ignition module so I can use the Hall effect pickup.
Thank you again.

VERO BEACH — A big deficit late in extra innings proved too much to overcome for Carrollwood Day on Friday afternoon at Historic Dodgertown.
The Patriots rallied in the first frame of extra innings but couldn't keep up with speedy Moore Haven as the Terriers scored five times to defeat Carrollwood Day 15-10 in 10 innings in a Class 3A state semifinal at the former spring training home of the Los Angeles Dodgers.
"All year long we have fought. Every game we've been in, whether it's a win or a loss — this team has just fought and fought and fought," said Carrollwood coach Chuck Fest, whose squad dressed just 11 players.
Moore Haven (17-4) scored 41 runs in its three region wins, including an 18-10 victory over St. Petersburg Catholic to send the Terriers to the state final four.
Moore Haven built a 3-0 lead after two innings, but Carrollwood Day's Emma Frost slugged a two-run homer in the third. Trailing 6-3, the Patriots rallied to take a 7-6 lead after five innings.
But Alexis Storey's sacrifice fly in the sixth inning tied the score, and the teams headed to extra innings to begin three of the stranger innings of the four-day tournament.
Moore Haven plated three runs in the top of the eighth, aided by a misplayed two-out fly to centerfield by Carrollwood Day's Kristen Docobo and a two-run double by Sydnee Cypress.
CDS (16-8) rallied with three in the bottom of the eighth. Emalee Jansen, Savannah Bennett and Samantha Fest each had RBIs to force even more extra softball.
"After they put three on us, I just looked at them and said, 'Look at the scoreboard. Look how we battled back.' These girls just fight," Coach Fest said.
Following a scoreless ninth, Moore Haven scored five times in the 10th, and the Patriots had no answer. Moore Haven will face Westminster Christian, a 4-2 winner over North Florida Christian, in today's championship.
"We didn't get an opportunity to scout them," Coach Fest said. "They're a really fast team. We had a really tough time combating their speed. Their coach did a very good job of playing into our weaknesses, and we had a tough time making adjustments.
"We kept fighting back and fighting back, but I think we just ran out of gas at the end with the short bench that we had."
Added Samantha Fest, who led Carrollwood with three hits and three RBIs: "We had done it before. We've come back in numerous games, far down. We never quit. We played our hearts out."
Jansen worked 9.1 innings but was relieved by Amanda Rose in the frustrating 10th inning.
"I'm used to long, hard days, but it's been a while since I've had one. I was happy Amanda, a senior, got to close out the game," Jansen said.

Jay-Z & Beyonce Have Major Wedding Gift For Kanye
Photo Credit: Getty Images
Rumors regarding Kanye West and Kim Kardashian's wedding have been circulating for the past few months. The biggest shocker was that one of Ye's closest friends, Jay-Z, would not be attending, along with his wife Beyonce. Sources say the reason behind their absence is the fact that the wedding is going to be such a public event. Despite turning down Yeezy's invitation, Jay and Bey have allegedly purchased him some unforgettable wedding gifts. For the couples honeymoon, they rented a luxury yacht for them worth close to $200,000. For Kanye's bachelor party, Jay is throwing an extravaganza at his 40/40 Club in New York City. The total cost between the two gifts is estimated at $500,000.

Extra Assistance for Families 1
(i) Making child care more affordable ..................... 3
(ii) Supporting Grandparents Who Care for Children 4
Extra Assistance for Families 2
Families are fundamental to a strong, cohesive community.
The Coalition recognises families face competing pressures on their time, energy and finances, particularly when they have young children.
Families should have the choice as to how they fulfil their responsibilities, and balance their own lives.
The Coalition believes that the best way we can support Australian families is to provide them with real choices - about their working arrangements, their family payments, and about child care.
High quality affordable child care is essential in providing options for Australian families.
Under the Coalition the number of child care places has grown from 306,500 places in 1996 to 563,000 places now and affordability of child care has improved as a result of the introduction of Child Care Benefit.
Many families choose to have one parent stay at home to look after their children or to work for just a few hours a week. The Coalition supports families who make this choice by providing Family Tax Benefit Part B, which is also paid to eligible single parent families in recognition of the additional pressures that they face.
The Coalition has been able to deliver these benefits to families because disciplined and responsible economic management over almost 9 years has produced a strong economy and a strong budget. This means that benefits can be provided to Australian families while keeping the budget in surplus and keeping interest rates low.
To ensure that families receive the extra assistance they deserve, a re-elected Coalition Government will provide, at a cost of $2.2 billion over four years:
⢠Families with extra assistance in meeting the cost of child care by introducing a 30% child care rebate on their out-of-pocket costs;
⢠Increased access by grandparents to Child Care Benefit by relaxing eligibility rules and improving affordability for grandparents on income support by giving them higher child care benefits; and
⢠More support for families to choose whether to have one parent staying at home by increasing the maximum rate of Family Tax Benefit Part B.
Extra Assistance for Families 3
(i) Making Child Care More Affordable
Accessible, affordable and high quality child care is vital for many families to enable them to participate effectively in the workforce or to undertake study or training.
Under the Coalition the number of child care places has increased from 306,500 in 1996 to 563,000 places now.
Child care has also been made more affordable with the introduction as part of A New Tax System of Child Care Benefit. On average families now receive around $2,000 each year in Child Care Benefit.
The out of pocket costs families face can vary according to the type of service used to meet their particular needs - whether that is long day care, occasional care or outside school hours care.
Out of pocket costs can also vary depending on where families live.
To ensure that more families can benefit from the major expansion in the number of child care places, a re-elected Coalition Government will introduce a new 30% child care rebate, at a cost of $1 billion over three
A family with an out of pocket cost of $20 per week will receive a 30% child care rebate of $300 per year.
All families who receive Child Care Benefit, which has a work, study or training test, will benefit from this extra assistance to help them meet the cost of child care.
Setting the new rebate at 30% of out-of-pocket costs recognises that child care costs faced by families vary according to where they live and the type of service they use.
Providing a rebate on the out of pocket costs supports families choosing the child care service which best suit their circumstances.
The 30% child care rebate will come into effect on 1 January 2005, from which time parents will need to keep a record of child care fees paid.
Legislation will need to be passed to enable families to receive payment of the 30% child care rebate from 1 July 2005.
Extra Assistance for Families 4
(ii) Supporting Grandparents Who Care for Children
Grandparents who have responsibility for the primary care of young grandchildren face the same challenges as younger parents. However, many grandparents do not enjoy the health, energy or vigour that can often be needed to care full time for these children.
Although grandparents have access to assistance such as parenting payment, family tax benefit, and child care benefit, caring for young grandchildren can also be financially draining.
A re-elected Coalition Government will provide grandparents caring for their grandchildren with improved access to Child Care Benefit, at a cost of $70 million over four years.
By waiving the work, study or training test for access to Child Care Benefit grandparents will be able to access full-time child care of up to 50 hours per week if required.
The work, study or training test will be waived from 1 November 2004.
A re-elected Coalition Government will also make child care more accessible for grandparents in receipt of income support, such as aged pension or carer payment, by enabling them to access Special Rate Child Care Benefit.
Special Rate Child Care Benefit will cover the full cost of child care fees charged to eligible grandparents.
Grandparents will be able to access Special Rate Child Care Benefit from 1 January 2005, subject to the passage of legislation.
Extra Assistance for Families 5
The Coalition introduced Family Tax Benefit Part B to provide extra assistance to families with only one main income earner, including sole parent families.
Family Tax Benefit Part B ensures that families have the choice as to how they balance their work and family responsibilities. Without this extra assistance many families may feel pressure for both parents to work when they would prefer one parent to stay at home and care for their children.
To support parents who choose to stay primarily at home but wish to work a few hours a week, in the 2004-05 Budget the Coalition more than doubled to $4,000 the income threshold at which benefits start to reduce. The rate at which benefits withdraw was also reduced to 20 per cent.
The Coalition also announced that where the secondary earner (usually the mother) returns to work, income from employment will not be counted against their eligibility for FTB Part B already received in that financial year. This ensures that the decision to return to work can be based solely on the family's circumstances without any concern about loss of benefits.
To ensure that families continue to have choice as to the arrangements which best suit their own circumstances, a re-elected Coalition Government will increase the maximum rate of Family Tax Benefit Part B by $300, at a cost of $1.1 billion over three years.
For families where the youngest child is under 5 years of age the maximum rate of assistance will increase to $3290 per year. Where the youngest child is aged over 5 years the maximum rate of assistance will rise to $2385 per year. These increases will take effect from 1 July 2005.
As a consequence of the increase to the maximum rates, the amount earned by the second income earner before eligibility for Family Tax Benefit Part B cuts out completely will be increased to $20,538 where the youngest child is aged under 5. Where the youngest child is aged 5 or over families will continue to receive assistance until the second income earner is earning $16,013.

Bench Warrants 2-5
The Hawaii County Police Department is asking for the public's help in processing court bench warrants.
Whenever an individual ignores a court summons or traffic citation, the court issues a bench warrant for that person's arrest.
Although most people respond to bench warrants, some do not. Over time, the failure to respond has created a sizable backlog of bench warrants.
Although police can go out into the community and make warrant arrests in public areas or at places of employment, or in front of family or friends, the Hawaii County Police Department would prefer to have residents come to the police station and take care of their bench warrants.
Because a driver may have forgotten about the citation or may not even be aware a bench warrant has been issued for his arrest, the police department will submit to the news media each week a list of names of those sought on outstanding warrants.
The police ask anyone who recognizes a friend or family member on the list to call that person and have him or her call or stop at any police station. To allow speedy processing, if a person wanted on an outstanding warrant calls ahead, police will explain the bail amount on the warrant. For information on Kona warrants call 326-4646, ext. 253.
A name appearing on the warrant list does not mean a person is guilty of a crime, only that a judge has issued a bench warrant for failing to appear in court. It is also possible that a warrant on this list has already been served or may have been recalled. The list is accurate at the time it is compiled by police and the courts.

Darrelle Revis is apparently too expensive for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. While Revis had a great 2013, if he were on the roster after Tuesday at 4:00 pm, the Bucs would owe him a 1.5 million dollar roster bonus and a fourth round pick owed the Jets, would become a third round pick.
Fantasy Analysis:
When new head coach Lovie Smith took over earlier this year, it looked like a perfect match for Revis. Revis, however, is the highest paid corner in the league by a wide margin and the contract belongs to the previous regime in Tampa, not GM Jason Licht or Smith. Revis' would account for a 16 million dollar cap hit this year.
Revis' deal may make a trade difficult, while there will be teams interested, not that many can afford him at his current rate. ESPN reports that if a trading partner isn't found Revis will be released.

Thus, I think that the LCD 's are probably covered with a fair bit of nicotineas the light output seems to have diminished and the "red" is a bit over saturated. Solutions anyone?

This is a fluffy sweet cheese/cream dessert that has a great presentation for Valentine's Day. (The winner of our cookbook drawing from yesterday is at the end of this post)
I use a Coeur a la Creme mold that I bought at a specialty kitchen store but you can use any 7 inch sieve.
Coeur a la Creme with Strawberry Sauce
8 oz. ricotta cheese
1 cup confectioners sugar
2 cups heavy whipping cream
1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla
seeds scraped from 1 vanilla bean
1/4 teaspoon lemon zest
1 pound frozen or fresh strawberries
1/2 cup water
1 Tablespoon fresh lemon juice
6 Tablespoons sugar
With the paddle attachment beat the ricotta cheese and confectioners sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer for 2 minutes. Scrape down the bowl. Change to a whisk attachment. With the mixer on low speed, add the heavy whipping cream, vanilla, lemon zest, and vanilla bean seeds and beat on high speed until the mixture is very thick, like whipped cream.
Line your mold or sieve with cheesecloth or paper towels so the ends drape over the sides and suspend over a bowl, making sure there is space between the bottom of your mold/sieve and the bottom of the bowl so liquid can drain. Pour the cream mixture into the cheesecloth, fold the ends over the top, and refrigerate overnight.
For the sauce place the strawberries, sugar, lemon juice and water in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, lower the heat, and simmer for 4 minutes. Pour the cooked strawberries into the bowl of a blender and blend until smooth. Chill.
You could substitute raspberries for the strawberries to make the sauce.
To serve, discard the liquid, unmold the cream onto a plate, and drizzle strawberry sauce around the base. Serve with strawberries and extra sauce.
ANNOUNCEMENT!! THE WINNER OF OUR COOKBOOK DRAWING IS…NAOMI from Chilliwack! Naomi, we'll be contacting you by email soon.

This report provides a review of the Victorian
Life Sciences Computation Initiative (VLSCI), a $100 million
investment intended to provide Victorian life sciences researchers
with a significant new supercomputing capability and a centre of
expertise to support their use of the facility. The project is
being managed by the University of Melbourne.
The audit assessed whether VLSCI was
effectively planned, procured and managed. The audit found that,
notwithstanding the positive early signs, the absence of sufficient
needs and options analysis and sound procurement processes means
the University cannot demonstrate that the initiative represents
the most effective use of the $50 million provided by the state
However the Department of Business and Innovation's use of a
grant agreement to establish governance, monitoring and reporting
frameworks was generally sound.
To improve the management of future projects,
the Victorian Audtior-General's Office recommends that:

Decision to call off school in District 25 Tuesday was made early due to road conditions; Griffith tapped as new RHS Principal
By Ernie Over, managing editor, County10.com
(Riverton, Wyo.) – Riverton Schools Superintendent Terry Snyder said he had nothing but praise for the District 25 staff for their performance Tuesday when a Snow Day was called, closing Riverton schools for the first time in some 15 years. He told the Riverton School Board Tuesday night that he had only one problem. He didn't know how to do it. "How do you call school off around here?" the second year superintendent from Nebraska asked veteran board member Carl Manning in a very early morning telephone call. Manning said it was all about the safety of students.
Snyder said he called in his Administrative Assistance Candace McCue who began putting a telephone call list together, advising District and building administrators who then began calling building staff and the media to get the word out.
"It went very well. We only had four calls before 8 a.m. here at the District office, and one call afterwards," he said. The Superintendent also credited the District's parents with responding to the event positively. "They were very understanding about it," he said.
Riverton Middle School Principal Cheryl Mowry said she knew that students would be dropped off by their parents at her building, so she stationed herself near the front entrance to advise those who had not heard about the Snow Day. "I didn't want any kids to be stranded at school," she said. Other buildings followed the same protocol.
Knowing that the community was experiencing a big snow event, which generated up to a foot of new snow in some areas, Snyder said the District's Transportation Coordinator Barry Capellan was out before 5 a.m. driving the county roads around the District to check on conditions while Snyder drove around town checking out the streets. "Barry was concerned over the drifting and getting buses out there and back safely, so we decided not to have school," Snyder said. "We first thought about not running buses but opening school, but there are those kids who would want to go to school, and we didn't want them out there trying to get to the buildings by themselves. If it was not safe for buses, we didn't want to put anyone in danger."
Snyder said he appreciated everyone's help and support over the rare Snow Day closure.
In action items at Tuesday's regular monthly meeting, District trustees followed the recommendation of an interview committee and the superintendent and voted unanimously to offer John Griffith the job as principal at Riverton High School for the 2013-14 school year. He replaces Dr. JoAnne Flanagan, who is moving up to the position of Assistant Superintendent at the end of the current school year. Griffith has been the RHS Assistant Principal.
Snyder said Griffith was the top choice of a committee comprised of administrators, RHS staff and students who conducted the interviews. "He's worked very hard as an assistant principal to help him prepare for this and even though his primary duties were disciplinary in nature, he stayed very active in instruction and academic leadership," Snyder said. "His goal was to become a principal, and he had other opportunities around the state and we're very glad he decided to stay in Riverton."
Trustees Chairman Mark Stone echoed Snyder's comments. "I'm happy to see him hired, we needed to keep him in Riverton and I know he'll do a great job. Past performance is a good indicator of future performance," he said.
Snyder said the committee only had one concern about Griffith, "and that was that he'd work himself to death. We'll keep an eye on that," the superintendent said.

There's a good chance you might be overwhelmed by the various automotive awards presented each year. There's an even better chance that you simply don't care because you can't figure out how all these award winners are chosen.
With that in mind, we started the Inside Line Most Wanted Awards. Our winners are chosen for one simple reason: They're the cars, trucks and vans that we like the best. Not the best new vehicles or the ones with the fastest quarter-mile times (although that does help). Nope, these are simply our staff favorites, the cars we would buy for ourselves, the ones that we remember even after getting behind the wheels of hundreds of vehicles throughout the year.
The Selection Process
Our selection process is extremely simple and there is only one real rule: Inside Line must have tested the car or truck by December 1, 2010. And there's only one hard category: Instant Classic. The other five winners are chosen in a free-form fashion. In fact, every single car and truck on the market is eligible for all six slots. There's no price cap, and no nonsense about having to be a new model or a redesigned nameplate. Essentially, we could honor any car or truck we want.
But we don't want to award six supercars either, so we've drawn ourselves a few guidelines. In an effort to keep it real, we attempt to choose a vehicle for each of the following needs: speed, luxury, hauling, commuting and family. However, the editors are not obligated to award a vehicle associated with each. If the Inside Line editors want to award supercars only, we still have that o
"Now I will be the most scared I have been since we started the project," says Juha Kankkunen. The four-time World Rally Champion clambers into the Bentley's passenger seat in the middle of the frozen Baltic Sea. We're only 60 miles south of the Arctic Circle, with Finland to the east and Sweden to the west.
I buckle up the six-point harness, adjust my HANS device and flick open my visor. This specially tuned Continental Supersports convertible is about to become the world's fastest ice-skate. Juha's here for an attempt on the Guinness World Speed Record on ice, and I'm about to sample his charge.
Hitting the Ice
I engage 1st gear and slip out onto the purpose-built track. Even with all-wheel drive, the traction is comically bad. You have to cajole the throttle like you might a reluctant child. In the real world this car will do zero to 60 mph in just 3.9 seconds, whereas here it might take 3.9 minutes.
Tweaks to the 6.0-liter W12 have increased output from 630 horsepower to "around 650," which is 600 more than you need when it's 31 degrees Fahrenheit below zero. It's powered by E85 ethanol, which is more potent than traditional gasoline, and the rev limiter's been raised to allow a higher top speed. There's a full roll cage, subtle spoilers front and rear, special wheel covers and a parachute that will only be used in an emergency.
First gear is hopeless so I short-shift to 2nd and start to gain some momentum. The ice is more than 2 feet thick and covered in a dusting of snow, which makes it hard to read. Roll cage or not, I've no wish to hit the snowbanks. At best we'd smash up the car. At worst, we'd be pitched into a terrifying barrel roll. I once set a world record for driving blindfolded at 155 mph. Scary for sure, but at least I had grip.
The Bentley's moving around on the bumps and I'm making tiny corrections to the wheel. The ice's natural camber is also throwing us to the left and right. Kankkunen admits he's brushed the snowbanks on a couple of runs. "You must be gentle with the throttle," he shouts through his full-face helmet. "If not the car will slide." Well, that's comforting.
It's a Slippery Sucker
Doing 200 mph on a test track in this car is easy, but this is different. This is unnerving. I'm not convinced I'm fully in control. It feels more like sledding than driving. It's fast and fun but I can't really steer and I'm not quite sure how I'm going to stop.
It's ridiculous, but it's a hell of a rush. The speedo needle swings past 100 and then 120 mph as I grab 4th gear. Now the adrenaline's flowing and I'm starting to feel the rhythm of the ice. We're skating together — the Bentley, Kankkunen and I — across a frozen sea at more than 2 miles a minute.
I hit 150 mph, then my bottle runs out. This is Kankkunen's toy, not mine and I don't want to break it. "You only really use the brakes below about 200 km/h [125 mph]," says my co-driver. As I press the middle pedal, it's not hard to see why. The rear end squirms and I have to apply a correction. The antilock braking system tries to help but it's all but useless. It takes miles to stop.
Swapping Seats
We reach the end of the run and swap seats. The original "Flying Finn" is incredibly laid-back. "I have been driving on ice since I was 7 years old," he says. "This is what I know." His test runs have regularly exceeded 200 mph.
This is Kankkunen's second assault on the record. Back in 2006 his friend Kari Makela concocted a plan to break the existing record of 184.14 mph, set by a Bugatti EB110 in 1995. To succeed, they'd have to complete a flying kilometer in opposite directions. "It was a crazy idea," says Kankkunen, "so of course I said I'd do it."
The duo contacted Bentley, borrowed a Continental GT coupe and set a new record of 199.86 mph in March 2007. "It was a huge achievement, but we knew Juha wanted to average 200 mph," says Ash Mason, Bentley's special project engineer. "There was unfinished business."
Four years later and with a new model to push, Bentley is back on the ice. The choice of a 5,115-pound behemoth typically found in the hands of L.A. agents might seem odd, but there was some logic at work. "The ice is rough so air suspension is very important," says Kankkunen. "The weight of the car stops it moving around too much and of course, you have to have four-wheel drive."
The original record car used studded tires that cut deep into the ice. This time, though, Kankkunen must make do with normal winter tires. "Studs might have offered more grip, but there's also more rolling resistance and that affects the top speed," reckons Makela, who's in constant radio contact with the driver. The Pirelli Sotto Zero II 275/40R20 tires are rated to 200 mph in normal conditions, but ice is different. Mason admits they're "taking a step into the unknown."
Trusting the Finn
With less ultimate grip, the team must rely on Kankkunen's otherworldly car control. In a practice run, the telemetry revealed he held a constant slide for over 2 miles at 190 mph. "The control is not a problem," says the coolest driver on the planet, "but every slide costs momentum and a few mph." In practice, Kankkunen has already raised the record to 205.48 mph, but now he's trying to go even faster. The team reckons a 208 mph average is possible...maybe.
It's all about working the margins. Even the temperature makes a difference. If it warms up a few degrees, the air density will diminish, the car's aerodynamics will improve and the humidity of the ice will change, offering more grip. The difference could be crucial.
The track is about 98 feet wide and is carved into the frozen wasteland normally known as the Baltic Sea. In the summer, the nearby city of Oulu is a beach resort, but if you're swimming in these temperatures you're in big trouble. Using snowplows the team carefully constructed a 10.3-mile track, only for it to be destroyed in a freak snowstorm. They built another, but it's not exactly straight. A subtle kink means the driver must change direction at 190 mph. "I think maybe they had one vodka too many," says Kankkunen.
My drive has thrown the rally star's efforts into sharper focus. The difference between 150 mph and 200 mph in these conditions is colossal. "At 200 mph you are travelling almost 90 meters [295 feet] a second so you have to look ahead, read the ice and then decide how you're going to react," he says.
The Finn might now be on the high side of 50, but he hasn't lost his mojo. I sit next to him as we hit 160, 170 and then 180 mph. He's making big corrections to the wheel, rotating it left and right through what must be 50 degrees. It's amazing to watch. Kankkunen admits he's experienced serious wheelspin at over 190 mph, so throttle control is everything. Below our feet, you can hear the tires doing battle with the ice. They're just barely hanging on.
He gently lifts off, lets the car's natural momentum subside and then leans on the middle pedal, stopping us neatly in front of the makeshift pits. He takes off his helmet with the air of a man who's been for a casual Sunday drive. I ask if he ever gets scared in a car. "No, never."
Going for the Record
I clamber out and stand on the sidelines as Kankkunen completes more practice runs. A huge digital display shows the average speed across the kilometer. The timing beacons were borrowed from the Finnish Traffic Police and then verified by the man from the Guinness Book of Records.
It flashes up 321 km/h (200 mph) as the Bentley blasts past. At these speeds on ice it produces what sounds like a sonic boom, followed by a huge rooster tail of misty snow. The team stands transfixed by the track, watching first the car and then the clock. One of those watching is Derek Bell. The five-time Le Mans winner and Miami resident is now a Bentley ambassador and is here to lend his experience and keep us entertained. "It's such a different thing," he says. "I'm just not used to a car moving around like that. In racing we correct the car as soon as it steps out of line. But in rallying you're happy to go with the slide. This is Juha's world, not mine."
Kankkunen completes a couple more runs and returns to the pits. He's not happy. The temperature's too low, the ice is too hard and the track's deteriorating. In these conditions, there's no hope of bettering the 205-mph average achieved earlier in the week.
There's a slight sense of anticlimax, but it's still mission accomplished. Kankkunen has topped 200 mph on ice and Bentley will celebrate by launching its "most powerful model ever" at the 2011 Geneva Auto Show.
As a stunt to launch a new car, the ice world record is undeniably silly, but it would be wrong to demean the skill, commitment and sheer bravery of those involved. Kankkunen might have spent his entire life driving on ice, but this is still an epic achievement. The "Flying Finn" is now an honorary "Bentley Boy."ption.
The voting process involved 11 IL editors locked in a room. No spreadsheets were used and no blood was shed. We simply presented our best arguments and then raised our hands to take a vote. In the end, we ended up with a list of six truly great cars and trucks. Ladies and Gentlemen, the 2011 Edmunds' Inside Line Editors' Most Wanted Award winners are:
Cadillac CTS-V Wagon
Stop being such a wuss and go get yourself a 2011 Cadillac CTS-V Wagon. There's not another machine on this planet that will at once liberate your manhood with gratuitous powerslides and satisfy your domestic needs by carrying a toddler, a ladder and a dog. Seriously. Go now.
Cars like this only come along once in a generation. By adding a wagon to its CTS-V line, Cadillac has produced a machine with the personality and performance to satisfy the hardened car enthusiast, while simultaneously acknowledging that people with the means to afford such a vehicle have real utilitarian needs. But it's more than that, because if this were just about being fast and practical we'd have picked an Evo and not a Cadillac.
The CTS-V Wagon is about attitude. It's about pure American muscle and it's about making a statement. There are few cars that are faster. And there are plenty more practical cars. But there are no cars that flip a middle finger to convention as convincingly as the Cadillac CTS-V Wagon.
We want one. Badly. — Josh Jacquot, Senior Editor
Ford F-150 SVT Raptor
REEEPEAT! Yep, this is the second year in a row that the Ford F-150 SVT Raptor has made our Most Wanted list, a feat that speaks to its long-term awesomeness. While the custom Fox Racing shocks, 35-inch BFG all-terrain tires and straight-out-of-Baja styling had us swooning last year, the Raptor now comes with the engine it should have had all along — the 411-horsepower, 6.2-liter V8.
But forget the numbers. This truck is all about character. Plant the throttle and the 6.2 bellows with an exhaust note that will scare Prius drivers back into the right lane. In the dirt, the Raptor spits rocks from all four wheels like an eager puppy chasing a ball on a hardwood floor.
Consider the Raptor less a real vehicle — though it seats five and is more than comfortable enough for daily use — and more a goading partner in crime. It wants to have fun, wants to be bad, wants to take you out all night and force you to make excuses to your wife. The Raptor is that college friend who everyone knew was bad news, yet we would follow to the end of the Earth.
In a year dominated by boring alt-powered "of the years," the Raptor earns our enthusiastic salute to fun and freedom in a time of rationality and reason. — Mike Magrath, Associate Editor
Chevrolet Corvette Z06
That's right, if we're spending our own money, we'll take the 2011 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 over the 638-hp ZR1. Not just any Z06, though, as ours would have to be equipped with the Z07 Ultimate Performance package that's new for 2011. It lifts key chassis hardware from the ZR1, namely the magnetorheological adaptive dampers (Magnetic Selective Ride Control), Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 tires (285/30R19 87Y front, 335/25R20 94Y rear) and carbon-ceramic brakes, and the effect is transformative.
It goes from being a scary-fast sports car with squirrelly, unpredictable handling at the limit to being a scary-fast sports car that's buttoned-down and trustworthy at 10/10ths. The upshot is that you can push a Z07-package Corvette Z06 much harder on a road course or back road without worrying that some midcorner bump will unload the rear suspension and deliver you and the car to an untimely demise.
Of course, the ZR1 still turns in quicker straight-line numbers, but the Z06's naturally aspirated 505-hp 7.0-liter V8 is a high-revving engineering masterpiece that is equally stirring to the soul. Oh, and it'll launch the Z06 to an 11-second quarter-mile, too. Moreover, the Z06 is lighter than the ZR1, and you sense this from the cockpit. It feels more direct and communicative, something we'll gladly trade a few tenths in the quarter-mile for any day of the year. — Erin Riches, Senior Editor
Kia Optima
It's been a long time since we looked at a midsize family sedan and thought to ourselves, "That looks pretty damn good." The fact that we said it about the 2011 Kia Optima made it even more of a shock. Then we drove the new sedan and liked it even more. Why?
It's an affordable family car that looks, feels and drives a class higher. It's not sporty, but we don't really expect that from this kind of sedan. What we do expect are a comfortable cabin, excellent mileage and plenty of features. The Optima delivers on all counts, even if you have to give up a little backseat room to get that dramatic C-pillar.
Want more power? You can always opt for the turbocharged model, but we're fine with the standard 2.4-liter engine. It has plenty of power for daily driving and it delivers nearly 40 miles to the gallon on the highway. We know the idea of "wanting" a Kia might seem blasphemous to enthusiasts, but we can't all drive Raptors and Corvettes. Sometimes you have to bite the bullet and buy something a little more sensible. Put in that situation, the Kia Optima is one sedan we would want. — Ed Hellwig, Editor
Honda Odyssey
Last year, the Honda Odyssey disappeared from our Editors' Most Wanted list, but with a full redesign under its high beltline, the 2011 Odyssey renewed our interest. The new Odyssey is the closest thing there is to an eight-passenger sport sedan, and its road manners will win the heart of any car guy-turned-family man.
The 2011 Odyssey is bigger, offers more legroom and earns a 19 city/28 highway/22 combined mpg EPA fuel economy rating that trumps the outgoing model. Factor in a 650-watt amplifier stereo system with 12 speakers and a 15GB hard drive capable of storing 3,500 songs, and it's easy to see why once again, the Odyssey is the fun minivan in a vehicle class where nobody expects to have fun. — Kelly Toepke, News Editor
Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG (Instant Classic)
Forget the gullwing doors on the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG for a second. Yeah, they're an unmistakable heritage cue from one of the most beloved classic cars of all time, but they're not the reason why we find this car so irresistible.
The real draw of this car is the engine. It may be the same 6.2-liter V8 that powered all AMG products before the twin-turbo V8 came along recently, but the way it's tuned in the SLS makes it a star. It not only develops 563 hp, it makes the kind of noises that only V8s can. It emits pure thunder at full throttle and then clears its throat with loud pops and crackles when you ease off. As one editor put it, "It's like driving the world's nicest stock car." It's unexpected from any car these days, let alone an exotic Mercedes.
And for those who aren't hypnotized by the sound of such a potent, unrestricted V8, the SLS is still a sight to behold. Yes, the doors are interesting, but even when they're closed this car has presence. Unlike the cartoonish proportions of the previous SLR, the SLS looks like a proper sports car. And with its all-aluminum chassis, it drives like one, too. It may not be the fastest exotic out there, but the SLS AMG certainly has all the makings of a classic. — Ed Hellwig, Editor

I've got an Astra MK5 with the original CD30 head unit. I'm trying to remove it so I can fit my new JVC double-din, but I can't seem to get the bloody thing out. I've got allen keys in the four holes and it feels like the clips have opened, but I can't seem to get it out.
I tried to give it a push from behind, but I can't see to get my hands behind it for love nor money.
What is the best way to remove it?

Maintenance Staff
Have you ever stopped to think what goes on behind the scenes at First Baptist Church Sevierville? Who keeps our campus in good working order? What happens when something vital (such as heating or air conditioning) quits working at 6:00 am on Sunday morning? Who performs the daily housekeeping duties that keep our facilities looking so neat and tidy? Who sets up the tables for our Wednesday night fellowship meal and every other event that occurs at FBCS? Who fills the baptistery so that we can experience the joy of seeing folks follow the Lord in baptism?
The answer to all those questions and many more is…our Maintenance staff. The goal of our Maintenance Department is to support and serve the staff and members of FBCS, while maintaining the campus facilities in a manner that is pleasing to the Lord. Their excellent work is evidenced throughout our campus.This team of dedicated folks is led by Building Operations Supervisor, Larry Ogle. You don't have to talk with Larry for more than a few minutes to discover what a servant's heart he has. Larry does not know the meaning of "that can't be done." His willingness to serve, and his joy in doing so, brings to life Matthew 19:26, "…With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible."
Larry manages ten full-time employees: Harry Geilenkirchen, Jerry Gibson, Leroy Grayson, Larry Kelly, Colleen Proffitt, Zach Rosenthal, Logan Shults, Bob Stolz, and Rodney Whitehead. Be sure to thank Larry and his staff for their dedication and service.

Do you recon they could DNA a bee sting to determind who belongs to the bee? :?
God and the Bee tree
Im not sure if different strains would carry a different dna signature or not, but as far as beekeeper liability is concerned, I dont think it would be a real far stretch for an attorney to make on a civil suit. It wouldnt be a criminal suit where one would have to have a smoking gun fora conviction. A bee sting civil suit would be held to 'preponderance of the evidence' where dna probably wouldnt even come into play after a picture of the neighbors hives was produced. Let alone some good bearding pics or swarm in the neighbors apple tree. Not a frightful thing to beeks, but to a ticked off neighbor and a retained lawyer,they may speak volumes.
