Lauren and Jared's Wedding
"I heard about the Pierce House from a friend and I'm so glad that she tipped me off to this gorgeous property! The estate is really beautiful with expansive lawns, mature trees, and an stately old mansion. It's loaded with charm and is elegant but not overly formal. We had the cocktail hour inside, and the food buffets and bar were set up in there all evening. We put up a big tent on the back patio for the dining tables and dance floor, and the spaces all flowed together really well. Richard, the property manager, was great to work with. He made some vendor suggestions early on (the caterer, florist, and tent company) that all worked out fantastically. And he was organized and helpful as the big day approached."

Loud engine knock...HELP!!!!
Hi everyone, I hope someone can help.
I just bought 2000 740I 160K. I drove the car for 2k miles and found that out I needed to replace the water pump. So, after reading up a little I started to replace the water pump and while I was doing that I took the intake off and put an new valley pan gasket and intake gaskets. I put the car back together aftrer runing it for about 50 mile my service engine light started flashing. I took the car to a reputal shop and the car showed a fule trim code and misfire code cyl 5 and 7. We replaced the plugs and that took care of the mis fire problem and the man at the shop said I would need to replace my cat. converter soon to take care of the fuel trim code. I picked the car up, drove 2 miles and all of a sudden I hear a loud knock coming from the motor , I turned around went back to the shop and it was determined that I had a sticking lifter on the driver side of the motor making the noise. I paid to have the lifter pulled out and the tech said they all checked out so we put the motor back together and I still have a loud engine knock.
The tech is now telling me that he thinks I have a rod bearing issue and he thinks the piston is tapping a valve on the exhaust stroke.
Does anyone have any advise for me, I have read things about lifters gettin air in them after a sharp turn, that is when this started.
Has anyone ever had this issue or something simalar? Any help is appreciated.
First I would ask for an opinion from another mechanic. Maybe somebody with more BMW experience. For some reason, from what you are saying, that mechanic, is guessing what the car has.
Similar issue: exhaust valve chipped or "burnt" . Check car for codes, you should get a clue. In my case it sounded like this:
There is a procedure to bleed the valve lifters for tapping sounds, post# 8 http://www.bimmerfest.com/forums/sho...ding+procedure
In order to do a real diagnosis, I would do a compression test or leak down test. They are both inexpensive.

The simplest thing you could do right now is to check your spark plugs... Make absolutely certain they are properly tightened in. A loose spark plug can make a sound EXACTLY like a bent connecting rod, noisy lifter or other knocking-related problem. I recently did some work on my engine and events led me to believe I had bent a connecting rod - watch this video I recorded, everyone believed it was a bent connecting rod;
Turns out a couple of my spark plug were a bit loose. How loose? Basically I could put the spark plug bit on and without any kind of ratcheting attachment or anything, spin them freely. It was strange because I only just recently changed the plugs (as you have) and I KNOW for a fact that I tightened them properly.
All I can say is, check ALL of your spark plugs, tighten them good, make sure your spark plug boots are on solid and not splitting apart, then fire it up again. If the sound goes away or even just lessens, you're on the right track!

SBKB [doi:10.3942/psi_sgkb/fm_2011_10]
Featured System - October 2011
Short description: Bacteria are found in nearly every corner of the world, evolving unique mechanisms to survive in their different environments.
Bacteria are found in nearly every corner of the world, evolving unique mechanisms to survive in their different environments. This diversity is apparent when we look at the cell walls of bacteria and their simpler cousins, the archaebacteria. Some decorate their surfaces with a gluey layer of polysaccharide chains, sometimes so thick that it forms a protective capsule. Others use networks of cross-linked polysaccharides and peptides to brace their membranes. Many bacteria also surround themselves with a coat of protein armor, composed of a paracrystalline array of "surface layer proteins". In the case of archaebacteria, this protein coat is the often the primary structure that surrounds and shapes the cell.
On a typical bacterium, half a million surface layer proteins associate side-by-side to form a continuous shell that encloses the cell. On the inside of the shell, they bind to sugar chains on the cell surface, or in the case of archaebacteria, interact directly with the membrane. This sturdy shell has many advantages for the cell: it provides protection, and it can also assist in the gathering of nutrients and attachment to targets in the environment.
Most bacterial surface layer proteins contain SLH (surface layer homology) domains that bind to sugar chains on the cell surface. Researchers at MCSG have solved the first structure of bacterial SLH domains, from the bacterium that causes anthrax, shown here from PDB entry 3pyw. The structure includes three neighboring SLH domains, which together form a triangular protein. The sugar chains are thought to bind in the grooves along the three sides. The protein also includes an additional domain, removed for this structural analysis, that interacts with other copies of the protein to form the shell.
SHL domains, however, are not the only way to create a surface layer: other bacteria use alternative approaches. Three examples are shown here. As with the SLH structure from MCSG, these structures include only a portion of the surface layer protein, allowing crystallization and structure determination. These include proteins from two bacteria, Geobacillus stearothermophilus (PDB entry 2ra1), and Clostridium difficile (PDB entry 3cvz), and one from the archaebacterium Methanosarcina mazei (PDB entry 1l0q). They all have completely different shapes and sizes, and if you compare these structures at the RCSB Protein Data Bank you will find that they have entirely different folds.
Surface layer proteins are interesting for several reasons. Since they are the primary barrier from the environment for many bacteria, they are intimately involved in the interaction of bacteria with their hosts. They mediate the flow of nutrients and may help with the attachment, and ultimate virulence, of pathogenic bacteria. SLH domains are also commonly used to attach other proteins to bacterial cell surfaces, so a structural understanding of surface layer proteins will allow modeling of other cell surface proteins. Surface layer proteins have also provided a source of inspiration for nanotech engineers. Since they are working examples of self-assembling nanoscale architecture, they are being used as a model for design of custom nanostructures.
This structure includes the three SLH domains from Bacillus anthracis surface array protein. The three domains are very similar and fold together to form a symmetrical three-sided structure. All three domains contribute to an arrangement of three helices at the center that stabilize the whole complex. Researchers at MCSG have determined that all three are necessary to form a stable structure: if you delete one or two of the domains, it loses much of its ability to bind to polysaccharide chains.

NIE accepts 'harsh' intervention
Two years ago, Northern Ireland Electricity (NIE) initiated an intervention from the Competition Commission (CC), following tough proposals by the Utility Regulator. Now NIE has accepted the newly published decisions of the CC, while describing them as harsh and demanding.
In addition, NIE acknowledges some significant improvements in its operating environment. The big gains are, first, an acceptance that the regulatory systems should now be realigned with those existing in Great Britain and, second, some unwelcome retrospective adjustments to its finances should be disallowed.
New price control decisions for NIE were due to be implemented early in 2012. Now, following the guidance of a CC investigation, the new price control will be implemented in October 2014 -- over two years late.
The delay was caused by the rejection by NIE in 2012 of proposals from the regulator that NIE regarded as seriously flawed. The disputed proposals were examined in an intense, detailed review. The CC has issued its report and, after careful consideration, NIE and the regulator have agreed to its implementation. NIE faces tighter constraints on its investment plans and operational costs. The CC investigation proved expensive. However, as the CC chairman has argued, the costs should be seen as small in proportion to the impact on much larger funding questions. Northern Ireland now has a better understood and more acceptable basis for electricity pricing.
The costs of over £2m represent a good investment in improved regulation.
From a customer perspective, the CC has trimmed down the allowable costs and tightened the methods of their calculation so that the NIE portion of an annual electricity bill will (in current real prices) be £10 lower at £142 in 2017. That basic conclusion co-incidentally confirms a similar impact to the proposals in the original review by the regulator.
From an NIE perspective, the CC has rejected several major investment schemes, including an expensive scheme that would have reduced marginally the risk of ice accretion causing breaks in electricity supply in a severe winter, as well as new equipment to reduce some of the risks to interruptions in rural supplies.
In addition, further investment to facilitate further renewable sources of electricity joining the grid (sometimes through the location of special clusters of wind generators) is to be subject to project by project approval by the regulator.
The line by line analysis of NIE's direct and indirect costs is painstaking. Regulation at the level of detail revealed by the CC easily excites concerns about whether regulation actually becomes a form of micro-management. Northern Ireland customers will be reassured that regulation is working in their favour: NIE shareholders will have concerns that earnings on commercial investment are likely to be modest, and the permitted rate of return on capital may be unrealistically low.
In a more critical vein, the CC has shown little regard for the need to strike a balance between excessive minimalist dissection of costs and calculating global allowances for normal costs.
The CC has published a 503-page report with further appendices. When the CC report was published, local media reports unhelpfully only rarely looked behind the headline conclusions.
The CC report was not a piece of easy reading, even for interested observers.
On two features, the CC report was surprisingly silent: no debate on high electricity prices for industry or on issues of fuel poverty.
That said, the CC itself should not escape criticism. The final report had a welter of detail but lacked a clear tabulation of the arithmetic that would allowed readers to see how the conclusions on a reduced NIE bill in 2017 could be justified.
Perhaps more important than specific details, the CC said that relationships between the regulator and NIE have shown 'signs of stress.'
This led to the hope that the regulator and NIE will engage "in a constructive manner ... to ensure that the public interest is best served".
Constructive open dialogue can begin.

I got a pretty good idea what most of your key points are, but definitely looking forward to you pointing out your specifics.
Nice comparison Red.
Some of the things I look for are consistent depth and spacing of the stitching as well as being able to follow a straight line. I prefer to see the thread lie below the surface of the leather to minimize abrasion of the thread when the holster rubs against hard surfaces. That often means a channel needs to be cut into the leather along the stitch line, which I know is not an easy task. Double stitching at the stress points. Also the use of a quality thread of sufficient size and diameter in relationship to the thickness of the leather.
Nice sharp boning molded to the shape of the gun for retention. Nice burnish and finish to the edges of the leather. Also a nice even color to the dying of the leather to give it rich and luxurious appearance. The detail work around the trigger guard is also important. There has to be enough open and unobstructed room to get a good combat purchase on the grip of the gun for the draw stroke, yet still cover the and protect the trigger. I know a lot of designs get that wrong.
If I can find those points on a holster, I usually know I'll be pretty happy with it.

Hypnosis for Tobacco Cessation
Health Services provides hypnosis call (603) 862-2856 to learn more and make an appointment.
Under hypnosis the cognitive part of the brain becomes more active. It directly changes the perceptions of the subconscious mind so that the need and urge to smoke are no longer a habitual behavior. Clients can be "induced" into hypnosis in many ways. Typically this is accomplished by having the client concentrate on an object or point, and then hear suggestions that they are calm, and focused. In time, the therapist can teach self-induction so that clients can perform self hypnosis.
Hypnosis is a procedure in which a certified health professional suggests that a client experience changes through the use of imagination to create mental imagery in any of 5 areas:
- Sensations
- Mood
- Thoughts
- Memory
- Behavior
For Hypnosis
- 90% of people are hypnotizable to some extent
- Some individuals seem to have higher native hypnotic talent and capacity that may allow them to benefit more readily from hypnosis
- If you have the ability to engage in imaginative processes (such as daydreaming) or you can sit at the computer for an hour and it seems like five minutes, you will probably be more responsive to hypnosis
- People who are severely depressed should not undergo hypnosis
- Optimally effective for individuals highly motivated to stop smoking

Thanks for the instructions. For folks that don't know, pics would be very helpful. Cheers
You rock !! !Thumbs Up It's a good idea to have a couple of spare c-clips handy if you have clumsy big hands like me. I tend to drop or break them.
I have the same problem i have skinny hands that think they are fat ROFL
P.S good advice
or have an extendable magnet.
those things save my life on a daily basis.
clutsy mechanic FTL.
Or have someone do it for you so as to have no accountability whatsoever! :)
In fact, then you can blame their fat skinny klutzy mechanic fingers! :)
:D i think all mechanics are this way
nice write up
okay WRX toughguy lol
:mad: lol
IM just messing with you dont get mad
!Thumbs Up
should this be a sticky?
[QUOTE=wrxgtr;153148]should this be a sticky?[/QUOTE]
i believe it should!
I agree. This should be a sticky also. Out of curiousity, what would happen if I turn up the boost on stage 1 with only a non catted DP?

BRUSSELS, May 22 (Reuters) Police across the European Union should team up with the private sector to agree EU-wide blocking of illegal Internet content, especially child pornography, according to a draft EU report.
EU states should also try to reach deals with third countries on methods to fight cybercrime as well as on shutting down illegal websites, said the report from the EU's executive Commission due to be approved today.
''There is an urgent need to take action, at national as well as European level, against all forms of cybercrime, which are increasingly significant threats to critical infrastructures, society, business and citizens,'' the draft seen by Reuters says.
It said the EU executive plans a conference of enforcement experts and the private sector this year to consider ways to boost cooperation against cybercrime, which ranges from traditional crimes such as fraud via the Internet, posting racist or pornographic images, to hacking.
Proposals in the draft report include initiating public-private agreements aimed at the EU-wide blocking of sites containing illegal content like child sexual abuse.
The Commission also wants police to make use of cross-border instruments already at their disposal, including a convention on cybercrime, which it argues is not well used.
Many EU states remain wary of pan-EU crime laws feeling they impinge on national soverignty.
The report said the number of cybercrimes was growing and criminal activities were becoming increasingly sophisticated and internationalised. ''Clear indications point to a growing involvement of organised crime groups in cybercrime,'' it said.
The new report comes with new EU member state Estonia reeling from three weeks of cyber attacks on government and private Internet sites.
These appear to have stemmed initially from Russia, with which Estonia has been in dispute over the latter's plans to move a Soviet-era statue and peaked on May 8 and 9 -- during events to mark the anniversary of victory over the Nazis.
The Kremlin, whose relations with the European Union have become increasingly moody, has denied waging a ''cyber-war'' against Estonia's infrastructure.
The European Commission said it planned to propose little to no legislation for its proposals, limiting itself to launching a public consultation this year on the opportunity of having an EU-wide law on identity theft on the Internet.
Cybercrime can be traditional crime such as fraud, committed via internet, it can be the posting of illegal content - racism, child pornography -- on Internet, it can also relate to specifically electronic crimes such as hacking.

Anywho, all the stuff in this here Kids.Woot Woot Off are things you can enjoy during your summer fun. And if you find something that doesn't? Duh! Use your imagination! Even a bent paper clip can be a rocket if you imagine hard enough!

Question about rear A/C
I really enjoy running the rear A/C in this big black SUV...it speeds up the cooling and does a great job of cooling the entire vehicle on out hot/humid South Florida days.
I have wondered if running the rear air adds any particular extra strain to the system. From a mechanical engineering perspective I actually think that it helps to run it to keep all of the components exercised. Does running it regularly harm any thing?

Also running the rear air regularly won't hurt it I know as I run mine a lot in both summer and winter it helps when I am by myself in the truck to just set the overhead controls to auto then adjust the temp to the front works wonders with the heat.
I do a lot of commuting to my collage classes.

Unfortunately, too late to keep dodgeball from being banned at their school. Guess the principal didn't agree with their assessment.

These are in my opinion the best dodgeballs out there. I have tried a variety of dodgeballs for our church and these seem to consistently be the best ones. They fly well, are durable, and are the perfect size. I recomend them to anyone.

I picked up this ball after my kids wanted to try dodgeball after seeing the Ben Stiller Movie. We are a pretty physical family, and my 10 year old and 12 year old could definitely handle some rough throws without any complaining. But remember, dodgeball isn't for the faint-of-heart!

Dodgeball can be a brutal tough uncompromising game of savagery, guts, pain and vengeance which is why this ball is totally unsuited to real Dodgeball with its gritty high casualty rate. But if you just want the fun without the maim, you could do worse than buy this ball.

Hello from Heaven, Dogsters and Catsters of the World!
My Mommy just uploaded a new photo to my page. It was taken on my very last Christmas before I left for Heaven. I had just recovered from my injuries after being hit by a car the September before, and although none of us knew it at the time, I was very ill with cancer. Mommy was so happy and thrilled to still have me that year, since I almost died and all when I got hit by the car. Now I am celebrating Christmas with my Grandpa and my doggie sister, JoJo! This will be my fourth Christmas in Heaven.
My Mommy is still so very sad without me. I sent her a kitty named Mouse to help heal her broken heart, and he is doing a great job! Now Mommy has 3 kitties! But she still has no doggies. I have seen her go to look at doggies that need homes and she always wants a dog, but she always feels like she can't do it and leaves in tears.
Mommy says some day a dog will be sent into her life, and she will know that is the right time and the right dog. For now I will just be happy for the life she found with the cats. I noticed that she pinned the Guardian Angel medal I used to wear on my collar to Catsy's pink bed. I always smile when I see it.

Vandals win a thriller
Sat., Oct. 31, 2009, 7:50 p.m.
MOSCOW, Idaho — Running back De'Maundray Woolridge ran for a 2-yard touchdown with 52 seconds left Saturday to boost Idaho to a 35-34 win over Louisiana Tech.
In the final second, Louisiana Tech's Matt Nelson attempted a 56-yard field goal to change the outcome. It had the distance but went wide left.
Louisiana Tech (3-5, 2-3 Western Athletic) dominated the first half with a 28-14 lead. But Idaho's defense held the Bulldogs to a Myke Compton touchdown in the second half with the PAT going wide right.
Woolridge, who leads the conference with 14 touchdowns, scored twice for Idaho (7-2, 4-1) in the fourth quarter.
Idaho junior quarterback Nate Enderle went 25-for-45 with two touchdown passes and two interceptions for 327 yards.
Louisiana Tech quarterback Ross Jenkins went 17-of-30 for 220 yards and three touchdowns.

Discussion in 'December 2005 Games' started by roscoe36, Oct 2, 2005.
Very appropriate That is a great analogy of Darko.
Abe, I certainly did not say the starters did not do bad. They lost 9 points of the lead, going from 14 up to just 5 up. But the same starters also did fantastic the first half or the 3rd quarter. But what I am talking about is the bench. People want to make the general statement that our bench is doing pporly. I am trying to point out that our bench has been gaining a point per minute over the past two games as long as Evans is not in the game. Your reporting of events is not all that. Yes, we started in that 1st quarter up 3. We went up 5 for a moment. But before Dyess came in, Evans was negative. And he was further negative when in with just Dyess. And further negative still when in with Arrroyo and Darko added to that. And another negative 5 in the 2nd half, where Darko never played. Darko was minus 4 for the game. Evans was minus 14. The point guards turning the ball over is the immediate problem. But why were they turning the ball over? The way its suppose to work, is that a 2nd player is suppose to be supporting you bringing the ball up the floor. Watch a tape. You will see that Evans was nowhere to be seen as our points brought the ball up the floor. Contrast this with the previous game. In that one, we let Mo Evans handle the ball several times, and it was a disaster. So this time, they said heck, lets just leave Mo out of that and see how it works. Did not work. You need two guards bringing the ball up. One more time. Keep an eye on this. You don't want to believe it is Evans that is the problem. If it is not, then surely we will not lose an average of 14 points per game while he is in game after game, right? Lets see.
Lee356 Since you are particularly fond of "48 minute stats", please tell us what the 48 minute stats would look like for a guy (Darko)who played 5 minutes with the following stat line: FT: 0-2 FG: 0-0 Reb: 2 TO: 2 PF: 1 I know...I know.. he would have over 18 rebounds. Sign him up. Get this guy on the floor! Now! What in the heck are we waiting for? Never mind that he would foul out in 30 minutes. Never mind that he would miss over 18 ft's without making even one. Never mind that he would give the ball to the other team almost 20 times. Let's just focus on the good stuff. He's a rebounding stud! Let's just say "Darko didn't do much". Evans 48 minute stats? Why bother. It's his fault we lost, right? But just for fun... in 12 minutes he was: FG: 3-4 3pt 1-1 reb:1 ast:1 st:1 to's: 0 total 7 points Lemme see 48 minute stats = 28 points 4 three pointers fg's 12-16 ast, st, reb's: 4 each TO's= 0 Get that bum Evans outta here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
tater Now just stop it! You're fogging up lee's goggles! and he's gonna need them for tonight's game recap!
Do you mean the goggles with the rose colored lenses?
You know only the Darko side is rosy. The Evans side is opaque with a diagonal red slash thru it.
lee the starters blew the majority of that lead they were up 19 when he checked out they were up 14 screw the 2nd quarter where he scored 7 points while he was in the game i guess the fact that he scored more than sheed meens zero the fault does not lie on him for the 4th read the play by play stats hell just the box score mo 0 turnovers ca 4 billups 6 rip 2 sheed 3 tay 1 darko 2 he had a good night the fact is that the rest of the bench chocked up when they were in the game look at the stats look at the play by play page i posted earlier he was not at fult for mistakeds others made. For the most part i have to listen to the majority of games (no fsn and no local) so beleive me i watched last night and i did not see mo give away the lead it was starters from 8 minutes on thats why it did not make sense either they got tired or they did not want to blow away lb but they were on the court again look at the play by play http://scores.nba.com/games/20051202/NYKDET/PlayByPlayPrint.html
hi Abe, I have watched the game 3 to 4 times now. Some stretches five times. I really don't need to look at a game log at this point. Sure Evans was just minus 5 in the 4th quarter. And minus 5 in the 1st quarter. Plus minus 4 in the 2nd quarter. Thats minus 14 for the game. And I know why. Pretty obvious. No ball handling from Evans. No movement without the ball. In other words, Evans was not helping any in the organization of the play for the Pistons. Don't listen to me if you don't want to. All I ask is that you continue to track this.
Knicks finding out what works Did anyone watch that game last night between the Knicks and the Sonics? Jamal Crawford had 31 points in the 2nd half!! And LB is not starting him. This is a guy with a career high of 50 points, who has not reached his prime, who comes off the bench!? It was a pretty ridiculous performance. 3's with a hand in his face. Great drives through traffic. A tough runner to his left through the lane under pressure. And he was playing OK D the whole time. Also, Marbury made a clutch jumper at the end. It was the kind of shot that would have got him in some trouble with the coach if he missed it.
yeah but crawford doesn't play the right way. thats why. he jacks up ill-advised shots, his only love is offense. when he's hot yeah he's hot, but when he's not... why doesn't Q get more minutes? doesn't play the right way. why do malik rose and antonio davis get all the minutes. they don't have much skill, but they play the right way. (read: larrys way) the knicks don't have that bad a team, and if LB can get them to play together, look out. especially with Frye playing like a man. if they can get James to just earn a 10th of what he's making they'll be doing alright.
frye has been great on my fantasy team. the bench according to this one detnews article said they struggle because of flip's different rotations and they don't now what to expect, but they said they will do better when they get the hang of the variety of rotations. hope they get used to these rotations soon.
The Knicks are starting to buy into Larry's system. You have to remember that a lot of these Knick players have questionable legacies. If a HOF coach screams at them, they've heard it from lesser coaches, but they know this one might have a clue how to make some noise in the Big Apple. From what I have seen of the Knicks, Crawford has bettered his game as a defender. Jamal Crawford is a super cool dude, and yeah when he is hot, he's like a long Gilbert Arenas. What LB is doing with Crawford is not too much different from what Carlisle did in his first year. When you have middle of the road talent, spread it across the lineup rather than clumping it into a great starting unit and a lousy bench. There aren't enough balls to go around for a backcourt of Starbury, Crawford and QRich (who is playing more 2 than 3, Ariza is eating up a lot of the minutes at the 3). As a side note, if anyone listened to the Ben Wallace interview on WDFN Tuesday, he said that during the game when LB was yelling at his players, it brought back memories and at one point Wallace actually thought, "Is he talking to me?". Funny stuff. Love him or hate him, Larry is one hell of a character.
lol. I heard there was a yellow puddle in between the home & visitors bench and nobody was sure whether to point the finger of blame at Larry or Darko.
Separate names with a comma.

Last Chance Foods: On a Mission to Save Kubbeh
Cookbook author Claudia Roden made a grim prediction in her 1996 tome The Book of Jewish Food. She wrote that kubbeh, a traditional Jewish-Iraqi dish of semolina dumplings in soup, might soon disappear because restaurants and home cooks were abandoning the time and labor-intensive recipe.
"I hope Jerusalem keeps up her reputation as the capital and that some food producer will decide to make them commercially, so that this whole little world of our culinary culture does not disappear," wrote Roden.
When culinary curator Naama Shefi read those words, she considered it a call to arms and created The Kubbeh Project, a three-week pop-up restaurant that opens at Zucker Bakery in the East Village today. She partnered with chef Itamar Lewensohn to help preserve the culinary traditions surrounding kubbeh.
Shefi said that she found it difficult to even track down accurate recipes for making kubbeh. Oftentimes the home cooks and grandmothers most adept at making the dish merely rely on experience and feel, rather than exact measurements.
For The Kubbeh Project, which will be open until March 21, Lewensohn and Shefi will make large pots of kubbeh and serve customers until they run out. In the process of opening the restaurant, Shefi has become comparatively expert at making the dumplings. She explained that the shell is made from a combination of semolina, water, oil, and bulgar wheat.
"You have this dough — it's not really a dough, but this mixture," Shefi said. "You let it sit, and then you take, like, [a] pingpong ball shape and with your hands, you do like a little circle. Then you put the meat mixture into it and close it very, very carefully and quick[ly]."
The dumplings need to be sealed quickly so they don't fall apart, and the shell should not be very thick. Instead, the wrapper has to balance and blend with the filling of seasoned meat or vegetables.

The hurdles don't stop there. Another important component of the dish is the soup in which the dumplings are simmered. The soup and fillings vary, and beet and pumpkin are just two traditional flavors.
"You really need to have an amazing soup," said Shefi. "What makes it so interesting, I think, is that the shell absorbs the flavors of the soup. It's like really [about] the relationship between the kubbeh and the soup." The dumplings also derive their color from the liquid.
While many other cultures in the Middle East have versions of kubbeh, Shefi says that this variation stands out because of how labor intensive it is to make and because it's simmered in soup.
"I don't think [this type of kubbeh] is particularly Jewish, but because it's super time- and labor-intensive, Jews used to make it for Shabbat and other special occasions," she said. Shefi added that since it can be cooked in soup for a long time, kubbeh can be served without breaking Shabbat.
In this video, chef Yotam Ottolenghi visited a restaurant in Jerusalem to learn how to make kubbeh. Even he admitted having difficulty reproducing the dish at home. Fortunately for New Yorkers, The Kubbeh Project will be serving up ready made dishes of the Jewish-Iraqi comfort food for a few more weeks.
While The Kubbeh Project is keeping their kubbeh recipes under wraps for the moment, they did share a less intimidating recipe for chef Lewensohn's savory hand-pies. (See below.)
Also, here's a recipe from Food52 for Marak Kubbeh Adom.
by Chef Itamar Lewensohn

Makes about 10 sambusak
For the dough:
- 3.5 cups white flour
- 4 oz butter
- 1 tb salt
- 1 cup+ 3 tb of water
For the filling:
- 2 tb canola oil
- 2 tb olive oil
- 1.5 cup fine diced white onion
- 1 cup fine diced celery
- 1.5 cup fine diced Swiss chard stems
- 3 fine diced garlic cloves
- 4 cups roughly chopped Swiss chard leaves
- Salt/pepper
- 8 oz feta
- 4 oz soft goat cheese
- 3 tb of ricotta cheese
1. In an attachable mixing bowl, incorporate the flour and butter by hand.
2. Using the paddle of a stand mixer to start mixing the flour and butter mixture ,and add the salt and the water in increments.
Let the mixture mix for a few minutes until you get a soft dough. Put a towel on the dough and let it rest for an hour. In the meanwhile, make the filling.
For the filling:
1. Add 2 kinds of oil to a pot, and put on low heat.
2 . Add the onion,celery and Swiss chard stems and cook for 7 minutes until they are soft but not browned.
3. Bring the heat to medium and add the garlic and Swiss chard for 3 minutes. Add some salt and pepper and mix. (Make sure not to add too much salt because the feta cheese is salty)
4. Transfer the mixture to a bowl, and let it cool.
5. When the mixture is cold, mix in cheeses and taste for seasoning.
Make the sambusak:
1. Roll the dough to a quarter of an inch thick and cut to a 6 inch circle.
2. Brush an egg wash on each circle and put a tablespoon of the cheese mixture in the middle.
3. Fold the circle in half. Using your fingers, take out all the air and seal the edges.
4. Brush egg wash on th top of each sambusak and bake in a pre-heated oven of 350 degrees for 30 min.
Tip: if you like spicy flavors, you can just add some chili into the cheese mixture in step 3.

Indonesia fails to sell shipwreck treasure at auction
JAKARTA (Reuters Life!) - Indonesia failed on Wednesday to auction a 10th century treasure trove which was salvaged from a Chinese shipwreck off Java island about five years ago because there were no bidders.
Organizers had hoped to raise $80 million from the 271,000 items that were supposed to go under the hammer at a government auction house in Jakarta.
But officials said bidders were probably deterred by government rules that require bidders to deposit 20 percent of the total estimated value to join the auction.
The shipwreck was found 90 miles off Cirebon, in West Java, following a tip-off from local fishermen in 2004 and it took 30 divers and some 22,000 dives to recover the treasure.
But the auctioneer was forced to close the auction because there was no response.
An Indonesian fisheries ministry official, Sudirman Saad, said before the auction about 20 companies and individuals had shown interest in the treasure, which includes Chinese porcelain and gold jewelry studded with rubies and sapphires.
"If you want to sell something like that there are certain ways to do it, and you need to have big marketing, big promotion. You have to go where the buyers are," said the owner of the salvage company, Luc Heymans.
"The buyers, they're in China, Hong Kong, Singapore, so you go there."
Fisheries minister Fadel Muhammad said the government will see whether the bidding rules need to be changed. Continued...

Ozarks players named to All-ASC teams
Release Date: 4/1/1999
Clarksville, Ark. ---Ben Jones of Clarksville was named to the All-East Division first team and Ricky Johnson of North Little Rock was named East Division Freshman of the Year to lead University of the Ozarks' selections in the American Southwest Conference postseason awards, announced by the league office on Monday.
Jones, who led the Eagles with an 18.2 scoring average, was named to the five-player ASC East Division first team. The transfer from Arkansas Tech was among the nation's top field goal percentage shooters at 64 percent and also averaged 6.4 rebounds a game.
"Ben came in and played just one season for us, but it was an outstanding season," said Ozarks Coach Johnny Johnson. "He averaged over 18 points, which is the highest I've had a player average. He was consistent all season for us."
Johnson averaged 12.8 points as the Eagles' shooting guard.
"Ricky came on strong at the end of the season and certainly wasn't playing like a freshman in the end," said Johnson. "If he can continue to improve on his defense and ball-handling, he's got a bright future."
Ozarks junior guard Patrick Prater of Sherwood, who averaged 15.8 points a game, was named to the ASC East Division second team. Prater is a three-time All-ASC selection. Ozarks junior Daniel Shepherd of Dardanelle, who led the Eagles with 66 three-pointers, earned All-ASC honorable mention.
For the Lady Eagles, senior Erin Tyler of Springdale and Carla Rhodes of Hackett were both named to the East Division second team. Named as honorable mention picks for Ozarks were senior Amanda Dean of Alma and freshman Christie Shuffield of Dover, who recorded the first triple-double in Lady Eagles history against University of Dallas last month when she scored 19 points, and had 14 rebounds and a school-record 10 blocked shots.

Is there any news on if it is happening next year?

Is there any news on if it is happening next year?
My limited understanding is that Sansweet really wants to use Indy as the location and the new convention center won't be done by then... again, these are just rumors that I think have been swirling around.
Well, Phoenix has a brand new spacious convention center.....and its close.:cheers
Yeah... it'll only be what? 100F in April. :lol (Yes the new Convention Center is nice... what I've seen of it anyway). But, standing in line - and you know you will - would be killer, especially for those in costume!
Man, if it were in Phoenix... I'm a desert guy :)
it's been awhile since I've heard anything. Weren't there some other cities on the "short list" e.g. Baltimore, Chicago, even Orlando?
I'm pulling for either Indy or Orlando. Considering my entire family loves going to them, Indy is realy close, and we love Florida. :lol Not to mention if it were in Florida I'd be able to visit with all my Florida internet friends finaly. :D
I'm going for Indy or Chicago, since I'm closest to those 2. and will be even after I'm out of the army.
How bout bringin it to SD :D
Maybe Steve S. will announce the location this weekend at WonderCon or
maybe at SDCC. :thumbsup
I'm betting he will announce it at SDCC. It makes MUCH more sense putting it in the middle of the country where its accessible by all. Even though I am on the east coast, I am totally against the Baltimore and Orlando as being choices, but I'm hoping for Indy or Chicago.
Center-north would be good for me... lol
Don't forget about us canadians!
I will be seeing Steve at the 501st dinner at WonderCon this weekend. I will pick his brain and report back in a few days.
Rumor has it that an announcement will come this summer.
Anywhere but L.A. The Hotels, restraunts, bars, and the convention center itself must be centrally located
Still pushing for Pheonix!!! :lol:D
Wish it'd come to St. Louis! We never get s*%t here! I'd love it in Indy or Chicago at least.
I think the new National Harbor, Gaylord convention Center - the biggest on the East Coast would be a great location. Lots of hotel space, right on the Potomac, water taxis to additional hotels and dining in Old Town Alexandria.
Check it out! Probably one of the most amazing Hotels outside of Las Vegas...
I still don't understand why LFL doesn't take Vegas seriously, we have unlimited convention and hotel space, haha.
I am going no matter where they have it at. :)
For my part, as I live in Iceland I vote for a place that has international flight arrivals. So I don´t have to work my way through the states from NY, Baltimore, Boston and such. They have to think about us foreigners to who live here in Europe:facepalm
But Indy was great, could not get to LA as planned. But I vote for Orlando as there is a nonstop flight from Iceland.:cheers

Thanks for your reply, but I don't want to read e-mail or anything.
I just want to completely back it up, i.e. download every message. Is there a standard way to do this in Linux?
Yes using mutt or pine, as was mentioned before. Further most mail clients will allow synchronization between client and server.
To be successful here you should read all of the following.
If you are new to Back|Track
Back|Track Wiki
Failure to do so will probably get your threads deleted or worse.
Do keep in mind that, in general, most email is removed from the server after it's been downloaded (at least that's the case with most email accounts here in europe).

Don't PM me with questions, unless very specific. Otherwise, use the forums so everyone can potentially benefit from it.
You can use IMAP to synchronize between client and server, or POP to download the message. POP can also be configured to leave a copy on the server.

Things that I think really set the tone for a Halloween party or dinner.
The Halloween Party section was excellent too! It gives you all sorts of ideas for different kinds of Halloween parties you could throw. I really liked the idea of throwing a party the night before and making it a pumpkin carving party! I mean, how fun is that! I still love to carve pumpkins every year with my friends!

An Investment Opinion
by Dale Wettlaufer
Financial Karma, Part 2
Would you like to know how much a company is earning before you invest in that company? You should, because without that information, it gets difficult to understand how to value that company. By that, I don't mean just coming up with a P/E that seems right and plunking down your cash. I mean, it's difficult to assess how much to pay for a company if the form of earnings does not portray the economic substance of a business.
This frames the issue I put forth in yesterday's Fool on the Hill. In that column, I discussed the issues behind the Financial Accounting Standards Board's (FASB) decision to recommend a change in the method of accounting for mergers and acquisitions for research and development-intensive companies. Today I want to first look at the cash flow aspects of the issue, and then on Monday I'll deal with the balance sheet aspects of merger and acquisitions accounting.
To begin with, the issue of in-process R&D write-offs has generated a lot of light and heat because executives believe the market is preoccupied with reportable earnings. Anything that reduces reportable earnings is undesirable, the thinking goes, because the market discounts earnings. As an ontological framework, that's not correct. Many CEOs and CFOs contemplating their company's place in the financial universe think "earnings and EPS growth." Many Wall Streeters do, too. The enlightened investor, however, thinks "free cash flow." And that is where your thinking should be directed.
At issue is this: If I am Dale Systems Inc. and I make data switches using superconductor technology, I might want to acquire another company whose software will really advance my product. Say this acquisition target has $15 million in revenues but the going price for such a concern is $200 million. The target company has $20 million in appraised book value. Most of the value of this company lies in its intellectual property. I'm obviously not buying it to liquidate its workstations, desks, leases, and other hard assets.
As the CEO of Dale Systems, I want to attribute 90% of the excess purchase price over book value to "in-process R&D" and expense that immediately. So this year I take a write-off equal to 90% of the $180 million excess. For the purposes of this example, let's leave taxes out of it. So that $162 million write-off reduces my net income by the same amount and it also reduces my company's book value by $162 million because it reduces retained earnings by that amount. Not to worry here, as "the Street" looks at "earnings before extraordinary items."
Now, say my company earned $100 million before the write-off this year and next year it will earn $200 million because the product synergies we forecast were extremely well received by customers. Let's also say Dale Systems would have earned $150 million next year without the new software. Wall Street's happy, my options are worth a whole lot more, my employees are happy, my engineering classmates know now that I'm The Man and not the geek they thought I was, and my kids are bouncing around like little kangaroos because they can get the G.I. Joe with the kung-fu grip for Christmas.
But now the accountants and economists at FASB and the Securities and Exchange Commission want to change all that. I can't write off the in-process R&D when I make the acquisition. I have to capitalize the acquired R&D and amortize the asset over a number of years. In this case, let's say by standard industry practices and our best judgment that turns out to be five years. So, on the acquisition date, I have to mark up on the asset side of the balance sheet an intangible asset of $162 million called "in-process R&D." On the liabilities and equity side of the balance sheet, my shareholders' equity is $162 million higher because there was no write-off to reduce my retained earnings.
Nothing is different with the product synergies. Silicon Valley is still quaking because some upstart company from Buffalo, New York, just strengthened its market share in the extremely important superconductive data switching market. I'm bummed, though. These accountants and FASB ninnies caused my earnings to be $32.4 million lower than they would have been had I been able to write off the R&D. How that works is simple. If I have to capitalize the $162 million of in-process R&D and I must write it off over its useful life of an estimated five years, then each year I charge off 20% of that capitalized asset. That's $32.4 million per year charged to earnings. So my earnings this year are $167.6 million instead of $200 million. Ninnies.
You know what, though? The market doesn't care, because accounting methods don't alter cash flow. Sure, there will be the occasional analyst on your conference call that can't quite get it straight and downgrades you because your earnings growth didn't fit into his or her price-to-earnings-growth model. But the market as a whole isn't going to get hung up on the form of your earnings. The economics of your cash flows are simple enough to see under the two methods of accounting. Let's look at cash flows for the year after the acquisition under the two scenarios (both in thousands of dollars):
Write-off method
Cash flows from operating activities:
Net income.....................................................$200,000
Adjustments to reconcile net income to
net cash provided by operating activities:
Provision for doubtful accounts..........................9,000
Change in operating assets and liabilities:
Accounts receivable........................................(43,000)
Prepaid expenses and other current assets......(5,000)
Accounts payable..............................................12,500
Accrued payroll and related expenses................7,000
Capitalization and amortization method
Cash flows from operating activities:
Net income.....................................................$167,600
Adjustments to reconcile net income to
net cash provided by operating activities:
Amortization of in-process R&D........................32,400
Provision for doubtful accounts...........................9,000
Change in operating assets and liabilities:
Accounts receivable.........................................(43,000)
Prepaid expenses and other current assets.......(5,000)
Accounts payable................................................12,500
Accrued payroll and related expenses..................7,000
There's no difference in the cash flows. That means there's no difference in the cash economics of the business. As for taxes, you might get to record a tax asset if you write off the R&D immediately, but if you only get to use the tax asset at the same rate as the deductible amortization expense over the asset's life it still doesn't make a difference to cash flows. But some IRS rules are even more screwed up than the most demented Generally Accepted Accounting Principle (GAAP) dictates, so we'll just move past the tax issue.
Amortization is a financial accounting memorandum. Some people treat all amortization as the same -- as in "don't worry about it, it's a non-cash expense." To my mind, there's a big difference between the goodwill that gets marked up on the balance sheet in a bank acquisition and the R&D intangible that gets marked up on the balance sheet in an industry with five-year or shorter product cycles. If you're turning over your entire product line in five years and you must replace that intellectual property with new acquisitions or homegrown R&D, the amortization is a memorandum that tells you about the amount of resources you need to expend to maintain your economic position. That assumes the return on future projects exhibits the same return characteristics as aged investments. If returns on future projects are higher, then you'll need to invest less to maintain your position.
For a depreciable asset like a drill press or something, if it's charged off over 20 years, it's not like it's going to fall part in year 21. Generally, though, if your depreciation schedule matches the useful life of an asset and inflation is not raging out of control, your depreciation expense will be directly offset by the amount of cash your need to spend to replace your assets. Goodwill is a little different, though, depending on the company.
For a bank holding company, goodwill amortization does not signify that it needs to spend a like amount of money to keep the customers it gained through the acquisition that gave rise to the goodwill. For a company in the superconductive data switching business, the asset is probably going to run its useful life over a much shorter period of time, during which you'll have to spend money to replace it. The purchased intangibles that arise from the acquisition of Coca-Cola are a lot more durable, if you run the business correctly, than the purchased intangibles in a software acquisition.
These are generalizations and, of course, there are exceptions. The problem with high-tech business is that the cash expended to replace assets shows up on the income statement right away. You're not replacing capitalized assets with more capital expenditures. That seems to be the big hang-up with a lot of executives in R&D-intensive industries. As I showed above, though, the market looks through that problem. When it comes to cash flows, the market is over the long run a suave sophisticate. It doesn't appreciate cartoonish portrayals of earnings. It can tell the difference between GAAP earnings and real cash flows.
Bottom line: The method of accounting doesn't change the gross cash flow, except possibly for small changes to the tax situation. How you think the non-cash amortization expense reflects a need to maintain those assets is something different. The form of the accounting chosen does not change the substance of the gross cash flow you have to work with to reinvest in the business. On Monday, I'll look at some of the balance sheet aspects of acquired R&D accounting and poolings versus purchase. I'll also nail down a little harder the economics of cash flows.

A new line of hot-runner valve-gate systems designed for high-pressure processes comes from Gunther Hot Runner Systems Inc., W. Chicago, Ill. The N_T line includes the 4NFT60LA flat nozzle, which can be used with the X-Melt expansion injection molding process from Engel Machinery Inc., York, Pa.; as well as the 8NLT80 nozzle, which has been tested with the MuCell microcellular foaming process from Trexel Inc., Woburn, Mass. Gunther's 4NFT60LA flat nozzle (below) was leak-tight when tested with Engel's X-Melt process, which compresses the melt in the hot runner to about 2800 bar (40,628 psi) pressure for half a second. Once the needle gate opens, the pre-compressed melt expands rapidly to fill the cavity. Small, thin-wall parts fill in tenths or hundredths of a second. In the MuCell process, Gunther's 8NLT80 nozzle keeps nitrogen or CO2 gas dissolved in the polymer within the hot runner by maintaining high pressure without leaking. 630) 293-4650 • www.gunther-usa.com

Apocalypse Now remains the last cinematic word when it comes to the Vietnam War. Director Francis Ford Coppola's ambitious outsider spirit helped his 1979 hallucinatory fable, about a Special Forces captain tasked with assassinating an insane U.S. colonel, become one of the most surreal war films ever made.
The movie's epic scope unfurls in the exclusive gallery of photos above, which were extracted from a 48-page archival book included in the three-disc Apocalypse Now: Full Disclosure Edition, a Blu-ray package out Tuesday.
The deluxe set includes Coppola's original cut of his film and his extended 2001 version (Apocalypse Now Redux), plus sobering 1991 documentary Hearts of Darkness: A Filmmaker's Apocalypse.
Both the $60 Full Disclosure Edition and the $40 two-disc special edition pack more than nine hours of bonus features, and for the first time make Apocalypse Now available for home viewing in 1080P high-definition widescreen and the movie's original theatrical aspect ratio (2.35:1).
There's never been a better time to revisit Coppola's sprawling upgrade of Joseph Conrad's colonial nightmare Heart of Darkness, a movie with an enduring legacy that places it in the same class as life-during-wartime classics like The Marx Brothers' Duck Soup and Stanley Kubrick's Dr. Strangelove.
Giveaway: Win Apocalypse Now Blu-ray
Is Apocalypse Now the best war movie of all time? State your case for Coppola's gonzo movie or another war epic in the comments section below. One randomly selected commenter will win a free copy of Apocalypse Now: Full Disclosure Edition. Contest ends 12:01 a.m. Pacific on Nov. 1, 2010.

In addition to Mother Monster's topless photo, she also poses in a few new getups from the Italian design house, under the creative eye of Mert Alas.
Of the spread, Donatella Versace noted, "The campaign shows how Lady Gaga completely captures the Versace essence: creative, experimental, fearless."
