Our special pesto recipe is an AOC classic showcasing how adapting things to make them do-able for whatever your level is (in this case frugality) sometimes ends up being the better thing. I wouldn't make this with pine nuts now even if I did want to spend the money on them! This recipe deserved to be updated and republished with new pinnable images and an easy-to-print recipe – I'd appreciate your help in pinning these new photos – the old ones from 5 years ago left a lot to be desired – thanks, friends!
Okay, I know may be thinking, "frugal" pesto – huh? Let me explain. This is the pesto I've made for many years with our garden basil which I then store in the freezer to last us all winter (we eat it fresh, too, but most of it gets stored). We use it on artisan bread instead of butter (by the way, if you haven't tried this you really should- but be warned, it can be addicting…), as the sauce on homemade pizza, and in Creamy Pesto Pasta, among other things.
This, then, qualifies as one of my "pantry basics" right along with ketchup, mayo, salad dressings, etc. – anything we use regularly that we (use to!) think needed to be bought from a store. It's very easy to make, taking a just few minutes to whir together in a food processor. And of course making it at home with your garden basil is less expensive in it's own right. But that's not what I mean by calling it "frugal pesto."
The pesto I make has an secret, alternative ingredient that drastically decreases the cost of the most expensive ingredient in traditional basil pesto: pine nuts.
The secret? Sunflower seeds. Not walnuts (too strong) or some other seed or nut as I've seen in other recipes, just mild-mannered sunflower seeds. It's their very neutrality which makes them the perfect substitute, in my book.
But aren't pine nuts essential? I may be a traditional pesto heretic, but I just can't justify the expense. And we're talking three times the cost of sunflower seeds. And I did use pine nuts when I made pesto for the first time years ago – I almost hyperventilated, but I did it to be "authentic." And you know what? I couldn't even taste the pine nuts inside all the garlic, basil and Parmesan. And if I'm going to spend almost $10/lb. for something, I better be able to taste it!
However, I didn't really tell anyone (out of embarrassment? shame? guilt? I'll let you decide…) until the time we had Brian's cousin and his family to dinner. Now this cousin is an incredible gourmet cook and has made us many memorable meals. Most of which he duplicated by taste from some fancy restaurant. In other words, way out of my league.
I served pesto with the bread (what was I thinking?) and he said, "There's something different with this pesto- what is it?"
Uh-oh. Gulp, "I…um…used sunflower seeds instead of pine nuts. Can I get anyone more water?"
And get this- he says, "I don't usually like pesto, but this is really good!"
To say I breathed a sigh of relief is an understatement. So I no longer hold my head down in shame when I say the secret ingredient in my pesto. In fact, I think it's a pretty smart and frugal way to make pesto and we even like it better!
Making pesto is so easy. You do have to start with removing the leaves from the stems and washing them, but that goes pretty quickly, depending on the amount you have to use. Then dry the leaves. Here's my tip for drying the basil leaves – and even storing them for longer:
- lay the washed leaves in a layer on a dry tea towel
- roll the towel, with the leaves, up to rest and dry while continuing with the recipe, OR
- if you need to break up the pesto tasks into harvesting/prepping and then making the pesto later, you can place this rolled, damp towel in a large baggie, seal it, and place it in the refrigerator. The basil will last for up to a week (though it's best after about four days)- there may be a few leaves that turn brown, but it keeps them remarkably well.
Then it's just a matter of chopping the garlic, Parmesan cheese, salt and sunflower seeds in a food processor until finely chopped before adding the basil leaves and process as far as you can. With the motor running, slowly pour in extra virgin olive oil. And voila! Homemade pesto.
Pesto freezes great and is SO nice to be able to enjoy that taste of summer all winter long! To freeze for later, you simply pour serving-size portions of pesto in containers for the freezer. I've saved little glass jars from things like marinated artichokes over the years specifically to use for freezing pesto and I've not had a problem with breakage since I've been reusing the jars. I like that they're easy to defrost and then use on the table. There are two things I do when freezing that I learned from The Oregonian's food section years ago:
- Add a couple teaspoons of lemon juice to each batch of pesto I'll be freezing- this helps it last longer and stay a brighter green longer after opening (really – when I don't use it, it turns brown almost right after opening!).
- Cover the pesto in the jars with a thin layer of olive oil which acts like a barrier to keep it fresher.
- 5-6 cloves garlic, peeled
- ¼ c. sunflower seeds*
- ½ c. grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp. salt (or to taste)
- 2-1/2 c. lightly packed basil leaves, washed and dried
- 1 Tb. lemon juice (for freezing to keep pesto a brighter green after opening)
- ¾ - 1c. olive oil (plus more if freezing)
- Pulse garlic in a food processor until minced. Add seeds, cheese, and salt. Pulse a few times to chop, and then add the basil and continue to process until most is chopped (it's okay if not all is chopped - it will mince as the oil is added). Add lemon juice now, if using.
- With the machine running, add the oil in a fine stream. Process until pesto is smooth. Adjust salt to taste, if needed (less will be needed if using salted sunflower seeds).
- To store in the freezer, pour about ½ cup into freezer-safe containers, add a shallow layer of olive oil to cover the tops, attach lids, label with date and freeze. The frozen pesto keeps for about a year - if it lasts that long.
And please let me know if you try this and like it as much as we do!

Other filesystems will do it by directly writing the data and waiting on it. We've lost some concurrency because the journal is busy, but in practice I suspect it won't make much difference. Are you sure that you actually have a problem? Does your application run significantly more quickly on ext2? (I now need to know your exact kernel version - there have been various goofups on the sync paths which were fixed relatively recently). I suspect that ext3 is doing an unnecessary commit on the fsync() case, and in the O_SYNC case, for your application. If the mtime fix is in place then we can try to drop all the ordered-mode data buffers from the transaction (which will succeed) and then look to see if there's anything to be committed (there will not be). hmm.

Mumbai: These past few days we heard some interesting rumors regarding Salman Khan and Kareena Kapoor. It seems that the two super hot celebrities will be working together in the same film production called Bodyguard. In this movie made by Atul Agnihotri, Salman Khan will be playing the part of the bodyguard who is trying to romance the character played by Kareena Kapoor.
A source close to the actor has stated that the character played by Sallu in this new film will be seen wearing quite a formal outfit, as he will be dressed at almost any time in an uniform. On the other hand, the character played by the beautiful actress Kareena Kapoor will be seen in an ethnic outfit. In the movie she will be playing the daughter of a don.
This new exciting movie production is the work of Atul Agnihotri who decided to do a remake after the Malayalam motion picture called Siddique. After seeing Salman in the role of a cop in Dabangg, this part announces itself to be quite interesting.

Never comes the trader thither, never o'er the purple main Sounds the oath of British commerce, or the accents of Cockaigne.
"He may be a veritable subject of the kingdom of Cockaigne, for aught I know," replied his friend.
She had the haunting melancholy of Russia in her face, but her voice was as the voice of Cockaigne.
There is a wonderful country, a country of Cockaigne, they say, which I dreamed of visiting with an old friend.
His kingdom was the "Land of Cockaigne," a borrowing, most probably, from the thirteenth century satire by that name.
It is a superb land, a country of Cockaigne, as they say, that I dream of visiting with an old friend.
Her face had the melancholy of Russia, but her voice was as the voice of Cockaigne.
Hence our own word of "Cockaigne," about the derivation of which so many contradictory guesses have been made.
Cockaigne is a delightful country, and the Cockaigne of criticism is as agreeable as the other provinces.
An old French poem on the Land of Cockaigne described it as an ideal land of luxury and ease.
c.1300, from Old French Cocaigne (12c.) "lubberland," imaginary country, abode of luxury and idleness. Of obscure origin, speculation centers on words related to cook (v.) and cake (cf. Middle Dutch kokenje, a child's honey-sweetened treat; also cf. Big Rock Candy Mountain). The German equivalent is Schlaraffenland.

A couple problems - TH400 trans and power brakes
The vehicle in question is a 79 C-10. I recently installed the TH400 and a 454 engine. After having this truck for 3 1/2 years I finally got to drive it again. Ive only driven it once, and that was when it had a 350 and a 3 on the tree manual trans.
I installed a TH400 out of a 78 suburbanI used to have. Trans worked fine when it was pulled, however thats been about 4 years maybe 4 1/2. Now I cant get it to shift out of first. It COULD be related to the brake problem i'm having but i dont really think so, but I dont know thats why Im asking here.
The brake problem: I step on the brake, the engine stumbles and dies. Leaky brake booster perhaps? I dont know. It was fine when it was parked 3 years ago....
I did have the brake booster off so i could swap out the brake pedals and steering column. I forgot exactly why it had to come off, but for some reason it did. I dont know if this has anything to do with it or not. I also had to replace the master cylinder. I noticed some rust around the inside portion of the booster, behind the master cylinder. So maybe its bad, but my question is, is there something i may have messed up or put together wrong when i did all my disassembly and reassembly? Or is it simply time for a new booster?
If the booster is leaking too much would that cause my trans shifting problem?
Oh, I also have crap for power brakes to. Its like i get a split second of power assistance and then its gone. Gotta really romp on the pedal to get it to stop. Ugh!
Disconnect the booster and plug the hose to see if that cures the stumble. Just remember the brakes will not be up to par. So be careful, and only do this in a safe area. But I'm betting the booster is toast and needs replaced in any event.
It could be a bad governor gear, as well. Bad gear = no shift out of first.
If it's a bad modulator, or the hose to the modulator is split or off, there will still be a shift w/enough RPM. IIRC, there will not be any shift at any RPM w/a worn out gov. gear.
The booster gets its vacuum from the throttle plate at the back of the carb. It IS unported manifold vacuum tho. The trans is getting vacuum from a port on the back of the manifold.
The brakes are not very well assisted as it is so unplugging it wouldnt hurt much. I'm pretty sure that its got to be related to that tho, or else its just coincidence that the engine stumbles and dies when i apply the brakes - even when sitting still.
Could the trans modulator go bad from getting wet? I power washed the trans with hot water to clean it up some before i installed it, im sure the modulator got pretty wet but I didn't get any water in the trans itself.
Yup, sounds like the booster is bad. Just replaced mine because of no power assist. It was also causing a vacuum leak throwing off my air/fuel ratio at idle.
As far as the no shift, check the hose connecting to the modulator and see if any trans fluid comes out. Sure sign the mod. is cooked.
Another guy just last week had a no shift problem after sitting for a few months but it turned out the hose was disconnected when he got it back from the shoddy shop he took it to.
Like Cobalt said, the trans problem is probably either lack of vacuum to the modulator or a stripped governor gear, and as he said, with no modulator, it WILL shift, but you'd have to wind it up pretty good to make that happen. Sound like your brake booster is toast.
No Shift
Governor or modulator one of the two is probably the culprit. I would replace the modulator first as it is cheaper and easier to change. Verify that the vacuum hose is in good shape at both ends.
The Governor nylon gear could have gone bad after sitting for so long. They get old and brittle and sometimes crack and break off. You can get a new one from the part's store, on line, or from the U-pull-it yard. Just make sure that the gear is in good shape and there's no wear on the shaft. There is a bushing in the TH400 that if it moves, it will wear the shaft 1" to 1 1/2" on so watch for it. If you replace the governor, don't forget the rubber O-ring gasket on the cover. Be prepared for a blast of fluid when you take the cover off. Sometimes there is, and sometimes there isn't. Better to be safe than sorry (don't tast good at all!).
I could have posted this on my first post but getting home from work at midnight, I suffer from brain fade! Sorry.
Guess my next step is to replace the booster and maybe the modulator. The vac hose is new and hooked up on both ends. I just did it the other day when I was reinstalling the engine and all.
Then see if by chance that changes the no-shift condition.
If it doesn't, you can pull the modulator from the tranny, and using a piece of vacuum tubing hooked to a vacuum source on the engine (engine running, obviously- you are using the engine as a "vacuum pump"), hook the modulator up to the tubing and see if it retracts. You can also do this by mouth.
And if it does retract, see then if it will hold a vacuum by bending the tubing like a garden hose when you shut the water off, or by putting your tongue over the end of the tubing in your mouth.
It should hold a vacuum as long as YOU do- there should be zero leak-down. And as mentioned before- there should be no ATF in the line or the port of the modulator.
If that all checks out, the next move is to pop the wire bail off the governor cover and pry it off to get a look at the governor. It will just pull straight out.
If the gear's damaged- you will see it. Keep it CLEAN- no dirt or dust, etc.
I plugged the line to the booster and it runs fine. It even shifted. However it was hard to tell that it shifted. Its got open headers right now so its loud as can be and now with the 4.10 gears the rpms are still high-ish when it shifts. So I dont know if i just didnt hear it shift or if the shifting problem was solved by plugging the booster, but either way the transmission is now shifting.
I am careful not to get into the throttle very much because it is very, very loud and im in a residential neighborhood full of elderly people and parents with kids. I'm surprised people dont complain about it sitting there idling its so loud. I've got magnaflow mufflers for it but i can only get one side on with a strait pipe due to crossmember clearance issues on the other side. I'll unfortunately have to go to a muffler shop and have them bend a pipe to go under or over the crossmember. The main reason ive got headers was mainly so I WOULDNT have to go to a muffler shop. The performance gain is just an added benefit
Just my luck.
What I next tell you is sadly, from experience.
Hearing loss is cumulative. By that (as it was explained to me by my Dr.) I mean that every time that your are exposed to loud noise, there is permanent damage done. You do NOT even have to hear that 'ringing' like after a concert for the damage to be done- but if you DO have a ringing in your ears after a show, etc.- you can BET there's been significant, irreversible damage to your hearing!
Over a lifetime (or MUCH shorter, if the exposure is severe/repetitious) this will cause you to get a constant ringing/noise in your ears called "tinnitus".
Once this begins, there's no going back, it's basically permanent. Even when you sit in a quiet room, you'll hear it. Not fun.
If I had a dime for every, "HUH?" I've used in the last twenty years, my house would be paid off.
Bottom line- use hearing protection. It's cheap insurance you won't be deaf in your later years!
Might be too late, I have ringing in my ears all the time anyways. I have for years tho. Thanks for the heads up tho. I do need to be more careful about my ears and my eyes.
HUH? What he say? After vietnam and a couple of yrs bracket racing I now work in a factory and I have to wear ear plugs! Now I am deaf.

It took a little longer Saturday.
The Gators scored three times in the second quarter, enough to put Kentucky away and extend the nation's longest winning streak in a current series between two teams in the Football Bowl Subdivision. The Wildcats haven't beaten Florida since 1986 and haven't won in Gainesville since 1979.
They hardly had a chance in this one.
Kentucky, which entered the game with the league's top passing attack, played without quarterback Maxwell Smith. He sat out with a shoulder injury. Backup Morgan Newton missed open receivers early and often, hurting Kentucky's chance at an upset.
After completing just 7 of 21 passes for 48 yards with three interceptions, he was benched in favor of Jalen Whitlow in the fourth.
De'Ante Saunders, Jaylen Watkins and Michael Taylor each picked off passes from Newton in the decisive second quarter.
The Gators, though, only turned one of them into points.
Saunders intercepted a pass that sailed over running back Jonathan George's head. Florida's Jeff Driskel tried to find Quinton Dunbar in the back of the end zone two plays later, but Martavius Neloms came down with the high throw.
Watkins kept the offense on the sideline after his pick. He anticipated Newton's pass in the flat, made the interception and returned it 26 yards for a 17-0 lead.
Florida could have turned Taylor's pick into points, but coach Will Muschamp decided to have his offense run a play with no timeouts and 16 seconds remaining in the half. The Gators could have attempted a 46-yard field goal — well within Caleb Sturgis' range — but opted to try to get closer.
Jeff Driskel got sacked, allowing the clock to run out.
Driskel completed 18 of 27 passes for 203 yards, with a touchdown and an interception. He also ran eight times for 35 yards and a score.
Driskel hooked up with Dunbar for a 19-yard TD pass in the second quarter and plunged across the goal line for a 1-yard sneak in the third as the Gators built a 31-0 lead.
Backup Jacoby Brissett played most of the fourth. His 1-yard sneak make it 38-0 in the fourth.
Mike Gillislee ran 13 times for 56 yards before giving way to Matt Jones and Mack Brown.
Florida's defense gave up chunks of yards early, but settled down and pretty much shut Kentucky down late.
Aiding the shutout, Kentucky's Craig McIntosh missed two field goals. He was wide left on a 54-yarder in the first and wide right from 46 yards out in the second.
Florida played without versatile fullback Trey Burton, who missed the game with back spasms. He woke up Friday with spasms and couldn't get them under control before the game.
The Gators also were without defensive tackle Dominique Easley (knee), linebacker Jelani Jenkins (thumb) and cornerback Cody Riggs (foot). Easley and Jenkins are expected to play against the Tigers following a bye week.

The owners of the West Oaks Mall in Houston, Texas have signed an agreement with Regal Entertainment Group to bring a 14-screen Edwards movie theater to the mall. The new theater will serve as an anchor for the redevelopment of the mall and is expected to open in Fall 2012.
"Bringing a premier Edwards Theatre to West Oaks Mall is a key component in our program to enhance the center by providing entertainment and dining options for the mall," noted Steve Plenge, managing principal of Pacific Retail Capital Partners, the ownership's operating partner. "Regal Entertainment Group is a great theatre operator. They are known for their customer service as well as its state-of-the-art theatres that offer a top quality movie experience."
The new theater will be in the mall's west wing, and have an "interactive pedestrian plaza surrounded by three new restaurants with cafe seating," according to the press release.
The Alamo Drafthouse Cinema - West Oaks is already a tenant in the mall, but the press release does say that the Alamo Drafthouse will stay open during construction of the new theater. The implication is that it will close as the new theater's opening date approaches, as it would be difficult for two movie theaters to operate at the same location.

The 10 safest U.S. cities for families with young children are not sleepy places, as you might suspect, but rather bustling ones on mostly the East or West coast, according to a scorecard to be released Wednesday.
They include Boston, New York, San Francisco and Seattle, finds the study funded by Underwriters Laboratories, a non-profit safety organization, and conducted by Sperling's Best Places. Also on the top 10 for safety: Louisville, Ky.; Minneapolis, Minn.; Portland, Ore.; Tampa, Fla.; Virginia Beach, Va.
The study evaluated the 50 largest U.S. cities on 20 factors such as air quality, smoke alarm requirements, pool safety, bike helmet rules, fire response times, accident rates as well as the number of hospitals, police and fire departments per capita. It filtered out cities with the highest crime rates.
"There is a unique set of safety considerations that goes into developing safe homes, communities and environments for raising young children, and the purpose of the study was to bring awareness to the best practices in those areas," said Gus Schaefer, UL's public safety officer in releasing the findings.
The study found encouraging news. It said all 50 cities require smoke alarms and inspections after homes are built or remodeled while 47 of them have non-smoking legislation and 39 require bike helmets for children. UL described why the top 10 cities stood out and offered tips for parents to prevent accidents:

Fire department finalizes purchase of downtown building
Indiana Fire Association President Bill Simmons confirmed Wednesday the association has finalized the purchase of the former insurance office building at Fifth and Philadelphia streets.
S&T Evergreen has moved to the Wayne Avenue branch of S&T Bank.
"The 501 Philadelphia St. (building) is a great addition and future development site for a new fire station because of its ideal location," Simmons said. "Our commitment is to the community and the residents we serve. This acquisition and the construction of a new facility will strengthen our ability to recruit, train and respond to emergency services for many years to come."
[PHOTO: Indiana Fire Association Fire Chief Scott Schuller, right, and firefighter Mark Fox cut a hole in the roof of the building at 501 Philadelphia St. to practice gaining entry in the event of a fire. Demolition is to begin as early as this week. (Jamie Empfield/Gazette photo)]
Indiana architect Tom Harley is helping the IFA design its new fire station with groundbreaking to take place in the near future. Construction is expected to be completed in 18 to 24 months.
Until then, the IFA will continue to respond to alarms from its station along the 800 block of Water Street and the Indiana West station along Indian Springs Road, White Township.
Simmons said the fire department will move to the new location because it needs more space. A few years ago the department relinquished some of the space it had in the borough administration building that has also served as a fire station since the building opened in 1975.
"We can't continue to develop and grow" in the current station, Simmons said.
"This property (at 501 Philadelphia St.) came available and S&T gave us a real good deal," said Simmons, who is a vice president in the bank's wealth management group.
Online documents at the Indiana County Office of Register and Recorder of Deeds show the purchase price was $420,000.
Simmons said the IFA has about 8,000 square feet of space in the Water Street station and will have about double that amount in the new L-shaped brick firehouse being designed. The new station will have four garage bays for firetrucks facing Philadelphia Street and three garage bays for other vehicles opening onto Nixon Avenue.
Simmons said a construction cost for the new station is not available yet, and the association plans to pay for its new building through grants and fundraising efforts.
"We'll be front and center" and more visible in a station along Philadelphia Street, and that should help in recruiting new members and raising donations, Simmons said.
When Simmons joined the IFA in 1979 there were 300,000 volunteer firefighters in Pennsylvania. Now there are 50,000 in the state, he said.
The IFA's organizational structure calls for 84 members and the department now has 60 members.
Fifteen of the members are Indiana University of Pennsylvania students who are firefighters in their hometowns and have joined the IFA while living in Indiana as students. Six of the student-firefighters live in the Indiana West station rent-free in exchange for their firefighting services.
Formed in 1878, the IFA responds to more than 550 alarms annually and protects about 45,000 people in Indiana, White Township and on the IUP campus.
With an annual operating budget of just over $500,000, the volunteer IFA is able to provide emergency services to the residents of the Indiana area at a savings of more than 85 percent of comparable cities with paid fire departments, according to Simmons.
Meanwhile, IFA firefighters used special power tools Tuesday to cut holes through the brick walls and the roof of the building they now own, using it as an opportunity for the firefighters to get some realistic training on breaching walls in the building.

Last night's show, young couple in the park argueing. She is sitting on a bench, he is standing, leaning over her and yelling at her. He does not hit her but he does grab her arms and push her back into the bench not letting her get up.
If you were a passer by, armed with gun or knife, would you get involved? My first thought was of course but then I thought about it more and being armed, knowning how quickly things can change, is that just asking for trouble?
I can see how a simple attempt to help the girl could turn really bad really fast, maybe the boy swings at you, you step back, slip, on the ground...

Special Extended IV: Labour's Jacinda Ardern Joins Selwyn Manning To Talk About The Big Issues of 2012
The Big Picture from Labour's POV:
Q: The year has had its ups and downs for both the National-led Government and the Labour Party, how would you define the 2012 political year?
You are ranked number four in the David Shearer Labour caucus.
Q: What political position or brand is Labour seeking to establish this term?
For example, some say Labour is seeking to poach support from centre/centre-right voters that have given their vote to National in the last two elections.
Q: Is this accurate or is it just Tory-spin?
The Opposition block appears to be functioning with a stronger sense of purpose, as compared to the last term.
Q: From the inside, how to you see Labour's relationship with the Green Party, New Zealand First, the Mana Party?
Q: The next election is clearly a long way off. But is it time to build bridges with the Maori Party, in case Labour needs its support in 2014?
One of the most significant issues to emerge in recent months is the Auckland property market – specifically the rapid rise of valuations being paid for Auckland homes.
Q: Does Labour's housing policy (to stimulate the construction of lower-cost homes up-to or around $300,000 each) resolve the increasing levels of household debt the hot Auckland housing market is creating?
Q: Is the Auckland property market an issue that is begging for broad-based solutions, if so, what form are those solutions likely to take?
OK, let's examine the Auckland Council, its mayoralty, its relationship with the Beehive.
It is palpably clear to anyone who observes such things that the relationship between the Beehive and the Auckland mayor is icy.
Q: Why is this so, and what should be done about it?
Q: Does Labour have a wish-list it would want the Auckland mayor to observe and comply with – after all three years ago your party backed his candidacy, and one would expect would do so again?
The Employment Court recently ruled that the Ports of Auckland management breached the act by locking striking workers out, and pulling scab labour in to do their work.
Q: During that much publicised industrial dispute, the Mayor was loathed to get involved. Labour has a significant number of unionists in the Caucus, were they satisfied with his performance?
What about the waterfront, Auckland Central's MP, Nikki Kaye, kicked off a debate mid-year that the Auckland City waterfront should be more accessible to people.
Q: Does she have a point?
Q: Should the Ports of Auckland be relocated to make room for more recreation and inner city accommodation?
Q: What are the issues that you are gearing up to tackle?
Q: What will Labour achieve from opposition in 2013?
Q: At this point in 12 months time, what will you use as your own appraisal points to gauge whether you have personally had a good or bad political year?
And lastly, it is Christmas time.
Q: What does Christmas time mean for you and your loved ones?
Q: Are there a few BBQs planned over the holiday break? If so, is it a BBQ at Phil's? Or are there a couple of Davids promising some light entertainment?

Home to the largest contiguous cotton-growing region in the world and encompassing more than 115 square miles, Lubbock is the economic, education and health care hub of the South Plains of Texas. With a population of approximately 212,000 in 2006-estimated to exceed 250,000 by 2060 according to the U.S. Census-Lubbock is also one of the fastest growing cities in west Texas.
A decade ago, forward thinking local officials realized Lubbock was expanding beyond the capabilities of its municipal water supply system. Lubbock's water resources included surface water from Lake Meredith and ground water from a regional well field. Two pressure planes, an east pressure plane and a west pressure plane, served the city, with the division generally occurring near the city center. (A pressure plane is a designated area for water distribution defined by water pressure in feet above sea level.) Eight pump stations and three elevated storage tanks supplied water to the distribution system in the two pressure planes.
The residential and commercial development in the city's southwest portion placed a tremendous burden on Lubbock's water storage and distribution system. To sustain reasonable water pressures throughout Lubbock and particularly into the expanding areas, the city decided to expand its water service capabilities in the southwest.
In 2001, Lubbock initiated a comprehensive Water Distribution System Study to determine the projected water demands through the year 2050 and the improvements necessary to meet those demands. Based on the results of a steady-state hydraulic model that projected the required water demands at peak conditions, the following recommendations were made:
- Create a new southwest pressure plane via the addition of a 5 mgd pump station and a 0.5 million gallon elevated storage tank. This pressure plane would allow the anticipated growth in southwest Lubbock to be served at pressures above minimum requirements.
Build a new 14 mgd pump station and a 5 million gallon ground storage tank to serve the existing west pressure plane.
Finding a Cost Effective Solution
In 2004, in response to the city's solicitation, Lockwood, Andrews & Newnam, Inc. (LAN), a planning, engineering and program management firm headquartered in Houston, and Enprotec/ Hibbs & Todd (eHT), a local civil, environmental and geotechnical engineering firm, proposed a number of solutions to implement the creation of the new southwest pressure plane and the pump station improvements necessary to meet the demands in the west and southwest pressure planes.
Convinced that the proposed solutions offered the advantages the city wanted, Lubbock officials awarded the contract to the team. LAN was chosen to provide design and construction management services, which included modeling and sizing of the new pump station, selection and sizing of pressure sustaining valves and design of the pump station and ground storage tank. eHT's services included forecasting future growth in the area, environmental studies on the pump station site and pipeline route, and design of the offsite pipelines and pressure sustaining valves.
The team thoroughly reviewed the city's existing distribution system. Through extensive data conversions, the H20Net water model was updated to a WaterCAD model and multiple scenarios were evaluated. The steady state hydraulic model used in the 2001 study was transformed into an extended period simulation and updated to include future growth. Steady state analysis takes a snapshot in time, at peak water usage and minimum water usage periods, whereas an extended period study analyzes the system hour by hour for a more thorough review. The model also analyzed the existing system, determined fill and draw capabilities using the existing system components, and the pump station site serving the west and southwest distribution areas.
"We not only looked at the near term conditions and growth projections, but also the improvements that should be made to the pump station in the next 15 to 20 years," said Graham Moore, LAN's project manager.
Based on this hydraulic modeling analysis, the team recommended the following solutions:
- Combining the facilities suggested in the 2001 Water Distribution System Study into a single facility to reduce construction costs. The team suggested designing and constructing a 14 mgd dual pump station that would take suction from a new 5 million gallon ground storage tank. This would serve the new southwest pressure plane and the existing west pressure plane.
Deferring the construction of the proposed elevated storage tank in the southwest pressure plane and instead installing two pressure sustaining valves coupled to the existing west pressure plane. In the event of a pump station failure, the pressure sustaining valves open, allowing water from the elevated storage tanks in the existing west pressure plane to back feed into the southwest pressure plane.
Flexible Design
Driving the project team's design of the new southwest pressure plane and associated pump station improvements were two major considerations: operational flexibility and ease of access. A number of features that would maximize the distribution system's usage and service capabilities, minimize operational impacts during maintenance periods and accommodate the future expansion of the site were incorporated.

We Have a Moral Divide, Not a Racial One
As we await protests and riots scheduled for Ferguson, Missouri, and elsewhere if a grand jury in Missouri does not indict the white officer who shot and killed Michael Brown, a black teenager, a little moral clarity is called for.
For decades now, we have been told that there is a black-white divide in America. The problem with this belief that is that it renders moral judgment — of white police, of black crime and black incarceration rates, of white judges and jurors, and of black riots and protests – impossible.
It is, we are told over and over, all about "perceptions" — a "black-white divide" in the way each race perceives racial matters. This is how it works:
Many blacks see racism almost everywhere — especially in arrest, conviction and incarceration rates, and in white police interactions with blacks. On the other hand, whites (specifically, whites who are not on the left) think that white racism has largely been conquered, and therefore blacks' disproportionately high arrest and conviction rates are the result of black behavior, particularly the high out-of-wedlock birth rate that has deprived the great majority of black children of fathers, not white racism.
According to the "black-white divide" way of thinking, these are simply two conflicting perceptions.
It is difficult to overstate how damaging this is.
It denies the very existence of the two pillars of civilization — objective truth and moral truth.
For every black and every white unwilling to condemn the protests over Michael Brown's killing that took place before any relevant facts came out — their half-hearted condemnation of the riots notwithstanding — truth doesn't matter. The protests, riots and liberal condemnations of the white officer began when no one knew anything about the killing.
There is, then, some validity to this notion of blacks and whites having different perceptions. But when the truth is knowable, one of the "perceptions" has to be wrong. Two distinct ethnic or cultural groups may have different perceptions of musical beauty or of what foods they like. But this is not the case regarding truth, which is based on facts. In Ferguson, either the black (and left-wing whites') "perception" is not truth-based or the (non-Left) white (and black) "perception" isn't.
Once the facts comes out, we are no longer speaking of "perceptions." We are speaking of truth and falsehood.
The other victim of this "black-white divide" explanation is moral truth.
If the truth here accords with what the police officer said, he did not commit an immoral act when he shot Michael Brown. On the other hand, if he shot the young man for no good reason, he committed an immoral act.
But according to the it's-all-a-matter-of-perceptions view, there is no moral truth, only black perceptions and white perceptions.
This all accords with the left's views of truth and morality. Neither exists. Visit any university to confirm this.
The left is philosophically deconstructionist. Shakespeare doesn't say what he wrote, Shakespeare says what the reader perceives. The notion of "original intent" as applied to the Constitution is, to the left, farcical. We cannot know the original intent. It's all a matter of individual perception — or, more precisely, the perception of different socioeconomic classes, different genders and different races.
And, of course, for the left there is no moral truth. Morality is entirely subjective. "Good" and "evil" are individual or societal preferences. No more, no less.
Like truth, morality is just a perception, one determined by an individual's race, gender, and/or class. That is why, for the left, no man can judge any abortion, no matter how late in pregnancy and no matter the reason — because men do not possess a uterus.
So who are you, white man, to condemn black protests? You have your perceptions and they have theirs. What you have to do is what the Los Angeles Times did during the 1992 Los Angeles riots, during which 53 people died as a result of black rioting — including 41 by shooting, four in fires, three by beating and two in stabbings. The Times titled its special section each day of the riots "Understanding the Riots."
So, if there are riots following the Ferguson's Grand Jury decision, we'll know how to behave: no judgment, just understanding. After all, there is no truth; there are only perceptions.

Over the last few years, we've warned about a lot of imposter scams. In one of the most common types, callers pretending to be from the IRS demand payments and threaten to arrest people.
Last fall, we mentioned raids on illegal telemarketing operations by the police in India. After that, the US Department of Justice indicted dozens of scammers who also were impersonating the IRS. After those actions, the number of IRS imposter scams reported to the FTC plummeted. On Tuesday, the New York Times ran a behind-the-scenes look at the call centers and the raids that took them down. It's a great reminder that scammers are organized, and they're really good liars.
Anyone old enough to remember The Jetsons knows how the futuristic family used their flying car or jetpack to get to their "smart home," where people movers whisked the family from room to room, lights automatically switched on, food appeared at the touch of a button, and Rosie the robot maid cleaned up.
Need to contact Yahoo customer care? There are a few ways to do so — but, Yahoo warns that phone is not an option. That's right: any phone number you come across in an internet search, claiming to connect you with Yahoo customer care, is fake.

If you're paying back your federal student loans, you might be interested in online ads saying things like, "Erase Default Statuses in 4–6 Weeks!" or – for the next few weeks – "Obama Wants to Forgive Your Student Loans!" Erasing default and loan forgiveness – sounds great to someone who owes a bundle, right?
Scams are like weeds: they crop up, are treated and disappear, only to find a way to pop up again. Such is the case with a scam we've written about before. In this scam, the fraudster pretends to be from the FTC and emails people, telling them they're under investigation and to click on a link for more information.
We ended 2015 by announcing Operation Collection Protection, a massive, nationwide enforcement initiative, targeting illegal debt collection practices at the federal, state, and local levels. Since then, the FTC and its partners have been busy bringing more actions against debt collectors who are unlicensed, deceptive or abusive. As Operation Collection Protection comes to a close, here's a look back at what was accomplished.
The Federal Trade Commission recently held "The Changing Consumer Demographics" workshop to examine demographic shifts.As the U.S. population ages and gets more diverse, consumer protection strategies must evolve to make sure we're protecting all communities. Workshop participants, including expert demographers and leaders in marketing, consumer advocacy, and law enforcement, discussed what the population will look like in the future – and what that means for consumer protection.
If you're thinking of selling a timeshare, the FTC cautions you to question resellers — real estate brokers and agents who specialize in reselling timeshares. They may claim that the market in your area is "hot" and that they're overwhelmed with buyer requests. Some may even say that they have buyers ready to purchase your timeshare, or promise to sell your timeshare within a specific time. All they need is an upfront fee to get the ball rolling. Well, hold onto your money and read on.
As more and more consumers are shopping with mobile apps, fraudsters are following the money. There are fake phone apps popping up that impersonate well-known retailers in order to steal your personal information. Their names are similar to well-known brands, and their descriptions promise enticing deals or features.But these fraudulent apps can take your credit card or bank information. Some fake apps may even install malware onto your phone and demand money from you to unlock it.
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is the nation's consumer protection agency. The FTC works to prevent fraudulent, deceptive and unfair business practices in the marketplace.

Molitor-Ndlovu for vacant belt
Former IBF junior featherweight champion Steve Molitor (31-1, 12 KOs) will get a chance to regain that belt on March 27th at Casino Rama, in Rama, Ontario. The #2 "Canadian Kid" takes on #1 Takalani Ndlovu (30-5, 18 KOs) for the now vacant belt. Molitor made five successful defenses in his first reign before being derailed by Celestino Caballero (who was recently stripped) in November of 2008. "All I've been thinking about is becoming a two-time champion, and nobody is going to get in my way," Molitor said. "Especially Ndlovu." Molitor previously stopped Ndlovu in the ninth round of a title fight in July 2007.
In the co-feature, Canadian heavyweight champion Greg Kielsa (11-0, 5 KOs) meets Neven Pajkic (11-0, 5 KOs) over ten rounds. A second ten-rounder features popular Ana "The Hurricane" Julaton against Lisa "Bad News" Brown for the vacant WBA super bantamweight belt.

Five injured in Colorado Springs shooting

When they arrived, they found five people who suffered gunshot wounds. Witnesses said they heard dozens of shots fired.
All of the victims were transported to hospitals. None of the injuries are considered life threatening.

Companies and Political Contributions
Publicly traded companies may soon be required to disclose political donations if the Security and Exchange Commission accepts the arguments from investors, elected officials and several corporate and securities law experts.
The SEC could make a decision as early as this month to change the rule, posing the first real test for Mary Jo White who was recently confirmed as chairwoman of the committee.
This week on Money Talking, contributors Rana Foroohar of Time magazine and Joe Nocera of the New York Times discuss whether such a change would be good for business or if it's simply politics at play.
Advocates of the disclosure say corporations should not be able to hide political donations from their shareholders. But opponents say the disclosure requirement is a bad idea. David Primo, a political science professor at the University of Rochester, told WNYC's The Takeaway that corporate political spending does not pose any additional risk to a company beyond its day-to-day business.
Opponents also fear the rule will scare corporations from exercising their right to make political donations. "It could actually hurt shareholders if it leads to activism against corporations," said Primo.
Some companies already disclose their political spending. Activist shareholders, especially those entrusted with public pensions like New York's Comptroller Tom DiNapoli, have been successful in getting companies to disclose their political spending even in the absence of any federal rule.
Looking ahead, Foroohar is watching for the possibility of another bubble in the real estate market, in this case, the commercial market. And Nocera is watching if states that approved the sale of marijuana will begin taxing it like cigarettes.

"Joyful Noise" Now in Theaters!
"Karen Peck Makes Big Screen Debut In Joyful Noise"
–"Mighty High" Also Included on Official Soundtrack–
Los Angeles, CA – Karen Peck Gooch made her official debut on the big screen Friday, January 13, 2012 in the Alcon Entertainment's and Warner Bros. Pictures' "Joyful Noise," a funny and inspirational story of music, hope, love and renewal. The film also stars Oscar® nominees Queen Latifah ("Chicago," "Hairspray") and Dolly Parton ("Transamerica," "Steel Magnolias," "Nine to Five").
The small town of Pacashau, Georgia, has fallen on hard times, but the people are counting on the Divinity Church Choir to lift their spirits by winning the National Joyful Noise Competition. The choir has always known how to sing in harmony, but the discord between its two leading ladies now threatens to tear them apart. Their newly appointed director, Vi Rose Hill (Latifah), stubbornly wants to stick with their tried-and-true traditional style, while the fiery G.G. Sparrow (Parton) thinks tried-and-true translates to tired-and-old.
Shaking things up even more is the arrival of G.G.'s rebellious grandson, Randy (Jeremy Jordan). Randy has an ear for music, but he also has an eye for Vi Rose's beautiful and talented daughter, Olivia (Keke Palmer), and the sparks between the two teenagers are causing even more heat between G.G. and Vi Rose.
If these two strong-willed women can overcome their differences and find a common voice, they—and their choir—may make the most joyful noise of all. Karen is featured as the leader of the host choir at the National Joyful Noise Competition.
The musically driven story brings together the sounds of gospel, pop, country, rock and R & B with memorable songs, performed by the cast, from a wide range of artists, including Michael Jackson, Usher, Chris Brown, Paul McCartney, Sly & the Family Stone and Stevie Wonder. Dolly Parton also wrote original songs for the film, including "Not Enough (Love)" and "From Here to the Moon." Gooch performs the Mighty Clouds of Joy classic, "Mighty High." Five-time Grammy Award winner Mervyn Warren composed the score.
The "Joyful Noise" soundtrack released on Tuesday, January 10th and includes musical selections from the movie as well as "Mighty High," performed by Karen. During release week, Karen spent time at the "Joyful Noise" Premiere in Los Angeles, CA, at the Atlanta, GA screening with KeKe Palmer and Kirk Franklin and in Nashville, TN at a private screening for industry leaders, media and contest winners.
Karen is the founding member of the Southern Gospel trio Karen Peck & New River and in 2011 celebrated 20 years in the music industry. Karen, her sister, Susan Peck Jackson and the newest member of New River, Jeff Hawes has been nominated for three GRAMMY® awards, performed around the world and celebrated numerous accolades during over the past two decades. The group's latest release, Reach Out, includes the number one song, "On the Banks of the Promised Land" and the group's current radio single, "Mighty Big God." The popular trio also released a Christmas album in 2011 entitled, Georgia Mountain Christmas.

Possibly influenced in form by stumpen "to stumble," but the -b- may be purely euphonious. Meaning "to come (upon) by chance" is attested from 1550s.

An examination of barriers to benefits-realisation from enterprise systems in the public service
Gable, Guy G., Timbrell, Gregory T., Sauer, Chris, & Chan, Taizan (2002) An examination of barriers to benefits-realisation from enterprise systems in the public service. In Wrycza, S. (Ed.) 10th European Conference on Information Systems, 6-8 June, Gdansk, Poland.
|PDF (135kB)
Examination of barriers to benefits-realisation from Enterprise Systems (ES) has potential to provide an innovative perspective on strategic management of large-scale packaged software, and on the extended virtual enterprise explicitly or implicitly deployed across the ES life-cycle. Private sector experience has revealed distinctive conditions applying to ES that create barriers to benefit-realisation. For public service organisations, ES have the potential to enable the provision of end-to-end integrated services, consistent with the demands of public accountability, but are encumbered by a poor track record in large systems implementation and associated process-reengineering. This research analyses the Australian Public Service ES experience, with the aim of dismantling barriers to public sector exploitation of ES. Early results reflect conventional perceptions of implementation issues, but application of the distinctive Dephi-based methodology designed for this study is expected to yield a basis for shared action on the part of government administration, vendors and consultants.

Nintendo has confirmed that certain online functionality offered through Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection for many Wii, Nintendo DS, and Nintendo DSi games will no longer be accessible as of May 20, 2014. As a result, the affected games will be without features such as online play, leaderboards, sharing of user-generated content, or free add-on content.
The Wii Shop Channel and DSi Shop will be the only unaffected services. You can view the full list of affected titles here.
Nintendo isn\'t shutting off these services for nothing, however.
\"Our focus now shifts to readying our Wii U and Nintendo 3DS matchmaking services for upcoming games such as Mario Kart 8 and Super Smash Bros,\" A Nintendo representative told GamesIndustry. \"We at Nintendo sincerely thank our fans for their continued support of our company\'s legacy systems. Your enthusiasm for games made for these systems speaks to their longevity, and the passion of Nintendo fans.\"
Before Nintendo\'s public announcement, an unnamed source had apparently told GamesIndustry International the shutdown was unavoidable, citing a dissolving partnership with Glu\'s GameSpy Technology as the reason for the shutdown. The partnership began with the Nintendo DS in 2005 and was expanded with the release of the Wii in 2007.
In late 2012, Glu abruptly shut off multiplayer servers to a number games and said they would only switch them back if they were paid a fee higher than what was initially asked of developers. And that\'s the end of that story.
For old times sake, maybe you want to give Smash Bros. Brawl, Mario Kart, or Call of Duty online one more go before servers officially go down. On the brighter side, I do hope this means Nintendo has big plans for Mario Kart 8 and Smash Bros Wii U/3DS online.

HIO WHEC724: the absolute worst that I have found is the old 5" / 38. It would lift iron doors off of the floor. The big 18" ers at Dahlgren were almost pleasant, even standing outside near the muzzle. However it would clean the whiskers off from the back flowing flame.
As for firing pistols etc, bk when I was in the BP (50's) we never used them, I remember firing thousands of full power .357 from my 4" barreled S&W pistol with no problem --- I think?? -- while training in fast draw and long range pistol work.
Of course two wars tended to accustom me to violent explosions.
However I agree, use em when available.

Film: "Bridget Jones's Baby"; Director: Sharon Maguire; Cast: Renee Zellweger, Colin Firth and Patrick Dempsey; Rating: *
What's with this avalanche of chick flicks at a theatre close to you' Two weeks ago, the redoubtable Amitabh Bachchan reminded us strongly that a woman's 'no' means a no.
Well, here we have Bridget Jones, back with her third spiffy but iffy tale of love, sex and more sex delivered in paroxysms of giggly girlie banter. And If Mr B says a 'no' is a no, Ms B says a 'yes' is a yes.
Don't follow your heart. Follow your loins to the end of the world. Luckily, Bridget doesn't have to go that far on her 43rd birthday. Accompanied by her best friend Miranda (Sarah Solemani, who steals every scene in which they are together), Bridget goes on a holiday in slushy muddy yucky music festival where they shack up in a tent playing buddy-buddy.
The film's writers provide us with an all-new definition to the concept of pitching a pole in a tent when in the middle of the night Bridget stumbles into a stranger's tent and, well, has sex with the rakish stranger Qwant (Patrick Dempsey who is the only character who seems to have had fun).
I can see Mr. Bachchan's solemnly announcing rule No.5 in the courtroom in Pink: Good girls do not sleep in tents with absolute strangers.
But then Bridget is no ordinary chick. We've borne through her excruciating adventures in two previous films and have to suffer her age-arresting antics a third time. Director Sharon Maguire who did the first Bridget Jones film seems in absolutely no control of the proceedings. There is a kind of improvisational rush to the narrative — which is not a good thing at all.
Most of the plot concerns itself with Bridget's paternity issue. Who is the father of her unborn child' The stranger in the tent or her lover Mark Darcy from the past who is now back in her life, happily married and yet willing to sleep with her.
Just why the enormously gifted Colin Firth would return to play Darcy after stammering his way through as Oscar-winning performance in "The King's Speech" is anyone's mess… I mean, guess. Hugh Grant, who played another man in Bridget's life, refused to do this film (respect). So the plot holds a memorial service for his character.
And we thought only Ekta Kapoor's serials did such things.
Just how Bridget allows herself to be impregnated in this day and age with an unwanted child makes for an interesting study in spin-doctoring in an unwanted sequel. Bridget, we are told, used an expired condom. Just goes to show. Everything in life, including life itself, comes with an expiry date. So why push it'
In brief: AVOID.
