Thorsten, what film capacitors do you use?
I googled the net for "film capacitors" and one site came up which is Electrocube.
On the page, it said "Standard AC & DC Film Capacitors by Electrocube" but in the list it says:
Metallized Polyester, Polyester Foil, Polystyrene Foil, Metallized Polycarbonate, Metallized Polypropylene, Polypropelene Foil
Does that mean any of these will fit your description of "film" capacitors?
geez, my subject line is so specific :smash: anybody can reply of course.
i am in the process of removing all electrolytics in one of my amp, reason for the question. i started with removing the electrolytics on the PSU and i think it sounded better. damn, i need a scope to "see" if it really did. :xeye:
Best to worst: polystyrene, teflon, polypropylene.
Film is (usually) better than metallization.
Polyester sucks :D
Good luck
so film is a process?
polystyrene foil = film, metallized polystyrene <> film?
i think it would be easier.. if you explain where you going to
use it/them.
A capacitor primer
You're talking about capacitors. A capacitor is made of two conductive plates separated by an insulator known as the dielectric.
The relative permittivity of the dielectric multiplies the capacitance of the finished capacitor compared to air. Examples of Er:
Ceramic: 2 -100
Aluminium oxide (electrolytic capacitors): 7
Plastic films: 2 - 5
Air: 1
Dielectrics are not perfect insulators. Some are leakier than others. Best to worst: PTFE, polystyrene, polypropylene, polycarbonate, polyester, electrolytic, ceramic.
The conductive plates of the capacitor can be made of rigid metal sheet (as in an air-spaced variable capacitor), metal foil, or a thin metal coating can be sputtered onto the plastic film. Thinner plates allow the capacitor to be smaller for a given value, but raise the Equivalent Series Resistance (ESR). Low ESR often seems to sound better in coupling capacitors, and may be necessary in power supplies.
There are lots of other issues with capacitors. As a very crude generalisation, the smaller the volume for a given capacitance, the poorer the quality.
ec8010, thanks for the primer.
geirw, i will use them to get rid of electrolytics in my amplifier, from PSU to bypass.
i have a bunch of solens, electrocube, MKP, MKT, etc.
since capacitors affects the signal as they obviously are part of the circuit, and electrolytic is the least desirable, i was thinking of using, say the MKT or Electrocube polypropylene on the PSU, Solen PPE (metallized polypropylene) on the bypass and ultrapath.
any other combinations you have tried?
of these you mention.. MPK on PSU sounds good..
as for bypass i would also chose solen of these..
but if you are shopping for something right now..
i assume Black Gate or Jensen would be perfect..
(if am not way off. Mundorf MCAPsupreme
also got some cap`s for this.)
worst to best: ceramic, tantalum, electrolytic, mica, mylar, polycarbonate, polystyrene, polypropylene, teflon, foamed polypropylene, foamed teflon, air
Some of the above are not films, of course. Some ceramics and electrolytics can be really inaccurate in surprisingly 'appealing' ways, such as smearing over low level nasties in grungy source material or in the way they color the sound. Not sure why some people love polystyrenes so much. They've always sounded hot and grainy to me. Of course, polypropylenes tend to err in the opposite direction but not as much. Foils have always sounded better than films to me and solid leads more detailed (if not necessarily as balanced)than stranded, but I'll take the solid leads because it's easy enough to correct balance elsewhere. No capacitor with copperweld leads is worthy of serious audio use.
currently i've an all electrolytic amp (except for the coupling which is either Jensen or MIT RTX). i find it difficult to hear differences when i go from unknown electrolytic to nichicon muse to sprague atom to black gate, and the cost increment does not seem to justify. of course, there may have differences when measured.
and since many people, thorsten included, suggests using film caps instead of electrolytics, so i'd like to give it a shot.

Correction Service
If you write for any purpose – school, publication, work – you need the Document Checking and Correction Services of ThePlagiarism.com!
The age of technology has brought much greater scrutiny to any written work which is submitted for a grade, for workplace use, or for publication. Revised laws provide for legal charges and hefty fines if one is found guilty. Unfortunately, many students and professionals are unaware of all details of these laws and may inadvertently commit plagiarism as a result. While educators attempt to instruct students on academic honesty and teach the skills of appropriate research and referencing, it is difficult to draw distinct lines between one's own thoughts and words and those which have been found in research. The same principle applies to those who engage in freelance writing or in preparing papers and reports for the workplace. Unfortunately, moreover, the results can be disastrous for the individual who has not meant to plagiarize but, in fact, has done so. Expulsion from an academic program, termination of employment, and even lawsuits can ruin one's professional life. Because your work can easily be checked for plagiarism, it is wise to be proactive and submit it to our document service first. ThePlagiarism.com can provide the professional detection check you need and do so at a reasonable price.
ThePlagiarism.com Provides Two Essential Services
When you use our plagiarism detection service, you will receive reasonable yet completely accurate services and may then relax, knowing that what you submit will be free from suspicion of plagiarism and any structural or grammatical errors!

Additional Information
Imitation of Life is a gripping stage play about family, race, women in buisiness and making tough decisions during the 1930's.
A white widow Bea Pullman and her daughter Jessie take in black housekeeper Delilah Johnson and her daughter, light-complexioned Peola exchanging room and board for work, even though Bea is struggling to make ends meet herself. Delilah and Peola quickly become like family to Jessie and Bea. They particularly enjoy Delilah's pancakes, made from a special family recipe. Five years later, Jessie and Peola prove to be challenging children to raise: Jessie is demanding, not particularly studious, relying instead on her charm, and is the first person to call Peola "black" in a hurtful way, making it clear that their childhood idyll is doomed. Peola does not tell her classmates at school that she is "colored" and is humiliated when her mother shows up one day, revealing her secret.
Bea finds it difficult to make a living selling pancake syrup (as her husband had done). Using her wiles to get a store on the busy Atlantic City boardwalk refurbished for practically nothing, she opens a pancake restaurant on the boardwalk (with Delilah cooking in the front window). Later, at the suggestion of a passerby, Elmer Smith, she sets up an even more successful pancake flour corporation, marketing Delilah as an Aunt Jemima-like figure. She gives Delilah a interest in the business but Delilah continues to act as Bea's housekeeper. As a result, Bea becomes a wealthy business woman, but all is not well as the story advances ten years.

Washington Redskins' quarterback Robert Griffin III followed Wednesday's practice with another on Thursday, according to several sources.
Griffin's status for Sunday's game against the Minnesota Vikings remains uncertain after he was knocked out and suffered a concussion last Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons. Griffin will undergo more medical tests to gauge his ability to return following his second concussion in less than a year.
If Griffin is not cleared to play, Redskins fans are already debating who should play quarterback against the Vikings: rookie Kirk Cousins or veteran Rex Grossman. Cousins completed five of nine passes with a touchdown and two interceptions against the Falcons.
Head coach Mike Shanahan isn't tipping his hand on the team's backup plans.
From NBC Washington:
"You have to look at both ends of it," Shanahan said regarding preparations at the quarterback situation.
Shanahan didn't indicate how the remaining reps were split between Cousins and Grossman. And while most of us are familiar with Grossman's game -- rare moments of brilliance sandwiched around long stretches of mediocrity -- all we've seen from Cousins came in the quarter-and-a-half of work he got in Griffin's absence last Sunday.

Mark Rylance's dazzlingly watchable antics as a reproving Olivia overturned by lust in Shakespeare's Globe's all-male "Twelfth Night" constitute nothing short of a star turn. That, however, is both the production's strength and its weakness. As with his Richard III, performed in rep with this production, Rylance's unfettered show-stealing effectively relegates most of the cast to the level of supporting players and overbalances the proceedings. Casting and branding spell success for this West End transfer of a Bard double bill but the inconsistent production makes the play itself feel only fitfully convincing.
Tim Carroll helms what the Globe terms an "original practices" production restoring the ethic of the first performance of 1602. To that effect, designer Jenny Tiramani's set is little more than a wooden back wall with, in a nod to the "O" shape of the Globe, wooden boxes of seating for audience members on either side of the stage.

Minister for Justice and Equality Alan Shatter has expressed concern about the rise of extreme right-wing parties in advance of European Parliamentary elections this year.
Speaking at the National Holocaust Memorial Day Commemoration in Dublin, Mr Shatter said that the economic crisis has spawned new parties.
He said that the crisis had revitalised pre-existing parties of the extreme right whose anti-Semitic and racist rhetoric is both corrosive and dangerous.
Mr Shatter added: "Some of these are no longer on the fringes of political life and there is growing concern over the level of support they will attract in the forthcoming European Parliamentary elections."
The minister cited Golden Dawn in Greece, Jobbik in Hungary, the National Front in France.
He also expressed concern over Ataka and the Bulgarian National Party in Bulgaria and the British National Party and UKIP in Britain.
Mr Shatter said: "it is imperative that governments and mainstream parties "repudiate the reprehensible rhetoric of those who contaminate our political discourse and attempt to inflame dangerous prejudice".
700 people attended the Holocaust memorial, to remember the six million Jews and five million other victims of Nazi atrocities.

Video: Man leaps out of vehicle during Texas pursuit
Dashcam video from several different officers in a pursuit shows the driver of an SUV drive against oncoming traffic and leap from a moving vehicle
By Ben Russel
GRAND PRAIRIE, Texas — On Jan. 30, a Grand Prairie police officer in a high prostitution area spotted the driver of a sport utility vehicle stop in the middle of the road on the 1600 block of Dalworth Street and watched a female approach and jump in the vehicle, according to a police report of the incident.
Believing that he had witnessed a prostitution offense, the officer attempted to stop the driver, according to police.
Dashcam video from several different police officers involved in the pursuit that followed showed the driver of the SUV drive against oncoming traffic on Loop 12 within the Dallas city limits, and on Interstate 30 in Grand Prairie as he approached the Six Flags Drive exit for Arlington. The chase ended when the driver turned and drove the wrong way in the northbound service road of the George Bush Turnpike at I-30 and leaped from his still-moving truck and ran away.

Presented by The Joyce Theatre Foundation, Inc. at The Joyce Theater, 175 Eighth Ave., NYC, June 24-July 20.
Pilobolus choreography has always bordered on the strange. Essentially disbanding with pointed feet or lined-up knees, it indulges in acrobatic twisting, tugging, and shoving—pulling out a bag of amazing, athletic tricks. Though most all of the Pilobolus repertory begins in a collaborative rehearsal setting, there is nothing improvisational-looking about the way the dancers connect to each other by the time the piece reaches the stage.
"The Four Humours" (Balanchine called them the Four Temperaments) begins with a jolt. To full-bodied music by Richard Peaslee, and wearing raggedy but stylish costumes by Angelina Avallone, four dancers (Mark Fucik, Renée Jaworski, Matt Kent, and Jennifer Macavinta), who also collaborated on the choreography with Robby Barnett and Jonathan Wolken, race out to center stage, bump tummies, and splat on the floor in a star-like formation—a bang-up beginning for a solid dance piece. The dancers then climb all over each other in determined strides, or stick to each other, hanging weightless like astronauts in a time capsule in the world premiere of this episodic piece at the Joyce.
The company set "Davenen" (2000) to an original score by Frank London, here performed by the Klezmatics. The six dancers, first seen balled together in a tight group, break away to indulge in prayer, each choosing a mode to worship, while the rest keep a steady rocking motion—an homage to the Orthodox Jew's manner of praying. There is ecstasy, relief, challenge, even deception—one woman reaching to be kissed (in reality, forbidden in public). "Davenen" doesn't pretend to be authentic, but it gives a wonderful substance to an ancient ritual. It is full of humor, and odd angles replete with the energy that are the company's signature.
"Monkey and the White Bone Demon" is distinguished by Matt Kent's inordinate quadriceps, which enable him to turn and jump on high steel stilts without cracking his skull in a terrible fall. Rather than being impressed with "good" routing out "evil" (the White Bone Demon being washed away by the Monkey), one leaves the theatre only wondering how on earth Kent manages to get through.

First-time home-buyers are rushing back to the market as confidence grows and mortgages become increasingly available.
The Council of Mortgages Lenders said 68,200 first-timers purchased property in the second quarter (from April to June), the highest quarterly number since the pre-crisis peak of the property market in 2007.
More than 25,000 loans were advanced to first-timers in June alone, up 30pc on the figure for June 2012, the CML said today. The average loan size leapt from £112,500 in May to £117,000 in June, with first-timers borrowing an average 81pc of their property's price.
Falling mortgage rates meant that although loan amounts rose, the the average first-timer still spent the same proportion of their income - just over 19pc - on their monthly mortgage bills.
First-time buyer activity is viewed as a key bellwether of the wider market. The weakening or directionless trend of the market for much of the past five years has been blamed on lack of first-timer activity. That may now have changed, the data suggests. Since 2007 first-time buyers have accounted on average for 38c of house purchase loans. This latest quarterly data shows the figure to have risen to 46pc.
Brian Murphy of national broker firm, The Mortgage Advice Bureau, said: "This section of the market is looking stronger than it has done for some time. But even though affordability does not appear to have suffered from the recent growth in house prices, this may be because higher-earning borrowers have been mostly responsible for the surge in first time buyer activity."
The majority of buyers are taking out fixed-rate loans which the CML welcomed, saying: "With increased interest in home buyers' ability to cope with the eventual rise of interest rates, it is particularly reassuring to see borrowers choosing to fix their payments, and for longer, in record numbers."
Mr Murphy of the Mortgage Advice Bureau said: "Average fixed rates are significantly lower across two, three and five year products than they were this time last year, and the latest data shows average five year fixed rates at 3.83pc – the best we have seen in recent memory. The Bank of England has signalled that interest rates are likely to favour mortgage borrowers for the foreseeable future, but with rates this good, fixing still looks like the most appealing option for long-term security."
He predicted that rates may improve further, and added: "With new lenders entering the market and plenty of capital from the Funding for Lending Scheme to bring into play, the range of borrowing options is likely to improve even further across the board."
Oliver Atkinson, director of the online estate agency Urban Sales and Lettings, said: "First-time buyers could soon account for half of all house purchase loans. This figure is being stoked in part by the Help to Buy scheme and steadily improving buyer sentiment. But the main reason that so many would-be buyers are getting off the fence is the sense that the housing and mortgage stars are finally aligned. House prices - even in regions hit hardest by the slump - have moved from stagnation to stability and even steady growth. And mortgages are cheaper and more available than ever."

Lenders have eased" their criteria, he pointed out, and added: "The wild lending of the boom years still haunts them, but the mortgage market is finally functioning as it should. The result is the release of a lot of pent-up demand from first-time buyers. Those who have saved hard for a deposit are earning nothing from having cash in the bank - and many are deciding that now is the time to take the plunge. The summer holidays are traditionally a quiet period for house sales, but first-time buyer demand is showing no sign of taking a break."
Separate data showed an increase in the number of properties likely to fall into the 3pc stamp duty threshold. Based on quarterly data from the Land Registry, available only to subscribers, London property specialist London Central Portfolio calculated that the average price of a flat has just passed the £250,000 mark to reach £250,101. Flats make up 18pc of property sales across England and Wales and are skewed to London and the south and other large conurbations.
The £250,000 boundary is significant as at that point stamp duty rises from 1pc to 3pc, applied to the whole property price. In other words tax payable jumps from £2,500 to £7,500.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for El Porvenir, Westminster, CO, USA
Six of us from our church Volunteers in Mission group travelled to Nicaragua and worked with El Porvenir in the La Reina District along with 6 others. We received a very good oversight of the Nicaraguan politics and the history and goals of El Porvenir before travelling to our work site.
I feel that helping the Nicaraguans gain use of clean water, and learning about sanitation is the very beginning for them to have easier and more productive lives. I like the fact that the people need to ask for help, and actively participate in all projects, and actually take leadership and therefore ownership of all projects.
Our experience was one with great organization, wonderful interpreters and facilitators and warm, caring people.
More Feedback
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
viewing neighborhoods where wells and latrines had made life better for the inhabitants, and I saw the pride the community took in their accomplishments. Several times I have made small donations to this organization, because I believe in the quality of the work which they do and enable.
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
I think that they have done an amazing amount of good in a relatively short time-span...don't know how they can improve.

I'm done with EQ2. I'm unable to find groups without wasting an hour or two, which just sucks. That and the fact that I found out that no PVP, ever, ruins the whole Good V. EVil thing they ahve going.
I have turned to the dark side. Hopefully, WoW will cure this cancer I have.
Most of us are on Blackhand...it seems split between Horde and Alliance.
Welcome to Hell, soldier!
Blackhand in the main server for Horde and Alliance. There are some side servers but most everyone is on Blackhand.
It''s in the Central timezone section.
Also, to get an invite to the ""GWJ Alliance"" guild on the Blackhand server, send a tell to one of these characters...
Vorcha (my character)
I''m sure there are other characters that can do it but these are all that I can remember. I should be on from 9PM until midnight tonight with Vorcha.
I can''t remember who is running the ""GWJ Horde"" guild if you decide to create a character on that side.
Because I''m just like that, I''m on Stormrage. No other GWJ''ers on there, so I won''t feel slighted if you don''t buck the trend.
Speaking of all this, can anyone get ON the servers, or is it just me having problems?
I don''t think Peecaboo can invite? I think you mean Dylise (Hoochie''s paladin).
On the Horde side Sway, Gaald, Certis and a few others can invite.
I had problems yesterday (12/19/04)- but I also have some computer-related ""issues"", so I assume it was those issues rather than Blizzard....
Peecaboo can definitely invite people. She didn''t think she could but she did last night for my friend, bjlightnin (Meldbeard).
My friends and I play on Durotan. Ragath the hunter and Mechashiva the mage.
I''m done with EQ2. I''m unable to find groups without wasting an hour or two, which just sucks.
I''m truly sorry to hear this, even though I play WoW and not EQ2. This was one of the main reasons for me leaving EQ1,and although EQ2 seems to be quite a different game, it''s unfortunate to see that this problem still exists for many players.
That said, welcome to WoW. May you find it as entertaining as I do. Mu-hahahhaha!
I play on the Medivh server.
I''m on Alleria.
Proudmore here.
But now that Blackhand has settled down I''m thinking I''ll create one over there.
Lightning''s Blade (eastern PvP server), as I could never log into Blackhand during the initial week.
Some of us have characters on Shadowsong as well as Blackhand, Shadowsong being the unofficial ALt server for when Blackhand was full, (which was all the time the first week).
Thag can invite, on Horde side.
You guys on your own servers are really missing out, it''s great playing with the whole crew on Blackhand. If only for helping guild mates out with items, supplies or just chatting in the guild channel.
...just chatting in the guild channel.
You should have seen the Christmas content I was creating days before the patch!
And that was the second time I met the disembodied spirit head of Santa Claus...
Can the guild only accept Horde races? IE do you have two guilds or only one?
It''s ok to read the forums you know
GWJ Alliance and GWJ Horde are both active, as mentioned above.
So what are the majority playing Horde or Alliance? Or is it split?
In the beta I never could get into the Horde, with the exception of the undead, the lands and quests just seemed less interesting than Alliance.
Geez I really did not want to start back up with a MMOG....
So what are the majority playing Horde or Alliance? Or is it split?
Split but I''d give the edge to the Alliance side in terms of most people usually playing.
So excited... girlfriend hinted that Santa might be bringing me WoW very soon. Hopefully I won''t be too far behind all you guys to join in on some GWJ partying up. None of my ""real world"" friends are willing to join me in WoW just yet.
Anyone out there on Zul''jin?
And that was the second time I met the disembodied spirit head of Santa Claus...
Pre-Christmas content eh? That''s what it was supposed to be? I think Chok''sul spawned right before we got to hear an end to that tale and we stole the kill right out from under that higher level night elf group.
You''re damn skippy that was Christmas content! And not only did we steal Chok''Sul from that higher level NE group but we also ganked it from that other human group as well. Quite the little coup from the three of us.
So what are the majority playing Horde or Alliance? Or is it split?
Split but I''d give the edge to the Alliance side in terms of most people usually playing.
There are more folks on the Alliance side except on the magical Certis & Hoochie Tuesdays, but the GWJ Horde is way cooler.

Macquarie shares fall as profit rise disappoints
Shares in Australia's biggest investment bank have retreated after it said it expects full year profits to rise "materially" as market conditions show some signs of improvement.
Macquarie Group expects profits to rise by around 10 per cent for its current financial year, which ends on March 31.
However, that was less than analysts were expecting.
Macquarie says a rise in tax rates and weakness in its trading and investment businesses will limit earnings.
Around 10:35am (AEDT), Macquarie Group shares were down 3.9 per cent to $37.22.

Way north of all this snow
It was a heck of a lot warmer in Toronto this evening than it was in Oklahoma City, but the Raptors, who have blown hot and cold all season, blew the Thunder out of Air Canada Arena, 112-96, earning a 1-1 split of the series.
When Toronto is good, they're very, very good, and they were that good tonight; the Raptors shot 50.5 percent, made eight of 18 treys, missed only one of nine foul shots, and grabbed an amazing 55 rebounds, 14 offensive. Chris Bosh was already into double-double land in the first half; Shawn Marion joined him in the second; Andrea Bargnani and Roko Ukic came close.
The Thunder managed to keep the turnovers down to 11, but shooting was off 41.7 percent and treys, three of 13, were few and far between. And they didn't come close to their usual board dominance, pulling in only 37 rebounds. The OKC bench was good for 42 points, though 21 of those came from Nick Collison; Kevin Durant, who logged 37 minutes, about five less than usual, managed only 18 points, and no one else had more than 11. Damien Wilkins, though, had something to prove: in less than four minutes of garbage time he rattled off 8 points, missing only one shot. Even Robert Swift came out to play, though Earl Watson remains glued to the bench.
This is not what you'd call a grand beginning to a road trip that must go through Boston and San Antonio, and it drops the Thunder to 6-7 for March. (Yeah, I know, they were 2-15 in November, but that was last year, sort of.)

Feel like you've been channeling the heavyset guy in accounting, at least at night? Snoring — even if you've never done it before in your life — is fairly common during pregnancy, affecting about one in three pregnant women. It's often a major cause disrupting your sleep (and the sleep of anyone in the room with you), which probably means you and your partner are all ears about what can be done about these loud nighttime noises.
What causes it
The most likely culprits of your sleep symphony are nasal congestion caused by surging pregnancy hormones, which cause the mucous membranes in your nose to swell, and excess weight gain, which results in extra tissue around your head and neck – both of which are common among the pregnant set.
What you need to know
Usually snoring during pregnancy is more of an annoyance than anything else. In some cases, however, snoring is an indicator of gestational diabetes (so make sure you've had your glucose screening test). It can also be a sign of sleep apnea, a disorder that can deprive you, and potentially your baby, of oxygen (particularly in the third trimester and in women who are overweight) and put you at greater risk of complications including preeclampsia — which is why it's important to let your doctor know if you're snoring way more than usual.
What to do
- Stick on a nasal strip at bedtime (they're completely drug-free)
- Try using a warm-mist humidifier in your bedroom at night
- Try sleeping on your side (your left is best for circulation)
- Plump up your pillows and try sleeping with your head slightly elevated.
- Keep an eye on your calories to make sure extra weight doesn't contribute to snoring
- Stay away from alcohol, tobacco and sleeping pills, all of which make your throat more likely to close (plus you should be avoiding them anyway when you're pregnant)

A South Carolina man was killed in a wreck near Bogart in Oconee County Wednesday afternoon when he tried to make a U-turn on Atlanta Highway, according to the Georgia State Patrol.
Joseph Padner, 48, of Calhoun Falls, S.C., was driving east on Atlanta Highway when he tried to make a U-turn near Pete Dickens Road at about 12:23 p.m., according to patrol reports. A Dodge Ram 2500 driving behind him hit Padner's Honda Accord in the driver's side during the U-turn, the patrol said.
Three people in the truck were injured, but the severity of their injuries wasn't known Wednesday night. No charges have been filed in the accident, which is still under investigation.

Nobody wins! All three contestants on the Monday, January 18, episode of Jeopardy! walked away with nothing after none of the competitors on the talk show were able to correctly answer the Final Jeopardy! clue.
The clue in question was: "A 1957 event led to the creation of a national historic site in this city signed into law by a president whose library is now there too."
The correct answer was Little Rock, Arkansas, where Bill Clinton was previously attorney general and later governor. The contestants Randi Kristensen, Liz Fritz and Mike Drummond bet their entire winnings totaling $33,000, only to lose everything when they responded with the cities Springfield, Austin and Atlanta, respectively.
"We have three players finishing with no money. We have no returning champion," longtime Jeopardy! host Alex Trebek announced. "We will introduce three new players. So, sorry folks!"
This is the first time this has happened since February 2013. Watch the unusual triple loss and Trebek's reaction above!

Yesterday, the United States Supreme Court declined to hear the employer's challenge in HTH Corp. v. Frankl, Case No. 11-622 (cert. denied March 26, 2012), to the National Labor Relations Board's authority to delegate to its general counsel the power to file Section 10(j) injunction petitions in federal court once the Board lost a quorum of members.
The case stems from a petition filed by the Regional Director for Region 20 of the NLRB seeking an injunction under Section 10(j) of the National Labor Relations Act when the Board had only two members. In accordance with the Board's 2007 delegation of litigation authority to its general counsel, the Section 10(j) petition was approved only by the NLRB's General Counsel, not by the members of the Board. The employer opposed the petition on its merits but also moved to dismiss the complaint for lack of subject-matter jurisdiction asserting that the Regional Director's failure to obtain the Board's approval to file the petition deprived the district court of jurisdiction.
The circumstances surrounding the 2007 delegation of litigation authority to the General Counsel were the same as those addressed in New Process Steel, L.P. v. NLRB, 130 S. Ct. 2635 (2010), in which the Supreme Court held that the Board could not delegate its powers to a three-member group with one vacancy, and thus had no authority to issue any decisions with less than three Board members. However, the Supreme Court in New Process Steel expressly declined to discuss the legality of the Board's assignment of litigation authority to the General Counsel:
Our conclusion that the delegee group ceases to exist once there are no longer three Board members to constitute the group does not cast doubt on the prior delegations of authority to nongroup members, such as the regional directors or the general counsel. The latter implicates a separate question that our decision does not address.
In HTH Corp, the Ninth Circuit held that case-by-case pre-filing approval by the Board of Section 10(j) petitions is not mandated by the Act. Moreover, the court held that the Board's 2007 delegation did not end when it had only two members:
New Process Steel instructs that the Act's quorum requirement must be satisfied when the Board is acting directly through its members, but does not need to be satisfied for the Board's earlier exercises and assignments of its authority, made with a proper quorum, to remain valid and in effect.
Given that distinction, the Board-member quorum requirement in § 3(b) of the Act has only limited pertinence with regard to § 10(j). As we developed earlier, § 10(j) assigns the Board a "power" but does not mandate the case-by-case involvement of the Board as a multi-member organization in exercising that power. Thus, with respect to the Board's power to file petitions under § 10(j), it was sufficient that a quorum of the Board in 2007 decided to assign decisions as to individual petitions to the General Counsel.
The Ninth Circuit's decision was consistent with decisions from the Fourth, Fifth, and Eight Circuits.

Redistricting effort under way
Sun., June 5, 2011
Public meetings begin; interactive map offered
The special panel assigned to redraw Washington's congressional and legislative districts will spend much of the summer listening to people around the state tell them where the lines should be.
For the first time, however, the Redistricting Commission and the public will get high-tech help in carving out a new congressional district and shrinking or enlarging the existing legislative districts.
Later this month the commission's website will debut a special do-it-yourself map kit that gives the public easy access to where the state's 6.7 million people are spread among nearly 7,000 voting precincts.
"We're already starting to see maps," said David Valiant, a member of the commission staff.
Redrawing the state's political boundaries has come a long way from the days when the group charged with the task marked the lines on road maps picked up at a filling station. Slade Gorton, a commission member and former U.S. senator and state attorney general, said that's where the commission got its base maps when he was involved in the process in the 1960s.
The commission, which started hearings last month in the South Puget Sound, will be in Pasco on Tuesday, Yakima on Wednesday and Wenatchee on Thursday, some of the areas that have seen the most rapid growth in the last decade. The commission will visit Spokane on July 14, at a time and place not yet determined.
A few paper maps are being presented at hearings, but the proposals are expected to increase when interested observers can go online after June 15 to digital maps that will allow them to move precincts or whole counties around with the click of a button.
One of the biggest challenges will be the placement of a new congressional district. A Seattle group, Fair Representation Washington, says the new district should be created in that city that has a majority of racial and ethnic minorities, creating the state's only district where whites aren't a majority.
John Milem, of Vancouver, who describes himself as "an advocate for redistricting in the public interest," has attended several commission meetings and submitted proposals. He said the commission should adhere strictly to laws that say the fewest number of counties and cities should be split between districts. That could mean as few as three counties which are too big for a single congressional district – King, Pierce and Snohomish – would be split.
Students in a special class on redistricting and gerrymandering at Columbia University Law School used computers to redraw many of the states' congressional boundaries. Matt Tynan, a second-year law student, took on the Washington map, placing the 10th Congressional District in Thurston County and parts of Pierce County that include Joint Base Lewis McChord.
That would split the current 3rd District, which has more liberal Olympia and Thurston County in its north and more conservative Vancouver and Clark County anchoring its south.
Tynan is a former Olympia resident who graduated from Western Washington University with a degree in political science. He said the other big challenge was figuring out which West Side congressional district should be stretched into Eastern Washington, which now has enough people for 2 ½ districts.
"It was a choice of whether to cross the Cascades at I-90, or the Columbia River valley," Tynan said. He chose the river valley because it provides more continuity. He also tried to keep as many cities and counties as possible in a single district, and use as many of the existing lines as possible.
It was the most challenging of the four state maps he drew for the class.
"Washington's a very diverse state," he said. It's a mix of urban and rural, forests and farmlands, peninsulas and islands. "The geography is tricky."

"I understand we're trying to eat more healthy, but does the pasta have to taste like glue?" moaned my man Patrick over a plate of mushy gluten-free pasta.
"Just eat the meat and the sauce. Who needs the pasta?" replied Patrick's pragmatic nephew John, who had dropped in for dinner.
"Everything you see I owe to spaghetti," I purred in the sexiest Italian accent I could summon. They stared at me blankly. "It's a famous quote from Sophia Loren," I explained.
"It wasn't gluten-free spaghetti that gave Sophia those hips," Patrick replied. "And she certainly wouldn't have eaten this sh—"
"All right," I interrupted, "take it easy. Half my friends have gone 'G.F.,' as they're calling it. I'll ask around and find out what pasta they're using."
"Trader Joe's Corn Pasta is the one we like best," offered Janine (penne or spaghetti for $1.39 for 16 ounces). "I like the corn over the rice because it doesn't end up gluey. And the taste is closer to traditional pasta. The downside is that it's not great as leftovers. It dries up quickly and doesn't revive well."
Margaret agreed with Janine, except about the leftovers. "Trader Joe's corn pasta has more structural integrity than rice pasta, which does get gluey. And I have found the corn pasta holds up well as a leftover. The rice pasta, no way."
"I like Trader Joe's corn pasta for regular pasta dishes and brown-rice pasta for soups," suggested Sue.
"If it's gluten-free, it ain't Italian. And if it ain't Italian, it ain't pasta. Just call 'em noodles," said my friend Toni. I'll let you guess her heritage.
Kathleen suggested the Trader Joe's organic brown-rice penne ($1.99 for 16 ounces). "I cook the penne brown-rice pasta for precisely seven minutes and rinse it immediately. Perhaps that prevents glueyness. I have reheated it the next day and it was fine."
Roisin was another Trader Joe's brown-rice pasta fan. "I have found it the best when prepared al dente or even a tad less done than that. It cuts down on the mushy, gluey texture. Of course, when you're cooking with your favorite red handy, who cares?"
Roisin added, "I prefer it in the tubular or short-form cuts because the long strands can easily be overcooked."
"Lots more water for cooking with rice pasta to minimize the glueyness," cautioned Serena, "and don't overcook it."
Alicia recommended Ancient Harvest Quinoa Pasta ($2.99 for eight ounces at Sprouts). "It's made with quinoa and corn," she said.
"I agree with Alicia," offered Teresa, "the Ancient Harvest Quinoa is best."
"What is quinoa?" asked Patrick.
"Let me tell you," I countered, reading off the box. "A tiny grain no bigger than a mustard seed once fed an ancient civilization which stretched from the seacoast of Chile to the snow-capped peaks of the Peruvian Andes — the vast Inca Empire. The Incas called it quinoa, 'the mother grain.'
"So sacred was quinoa to the Incas that each year the mighty Inca ruler himself planted the first row of quinoa with a solid gold spade. As rugged as the Andes, quinoa has flourished in cultivation for over 5000 years."
"Enough, I got it," stated Patrick. "It's the superman of grains."
"If you want to go fresh," offered Nicole, "Lisko's Artisan Deli [619-252-7687; liskoartisandeliandfishmarket.com] has great chickpea pasta. But don't overcook it."
"We sell a chickpea eggless pasta," offered the saleslady at the deli ($8 for a pound, $14 for two pounds). "It is really easy to cook, just bring the water to a boil, then throw in the pasta and it takes about 45 seconds to cook."
Gluten-free pioneer Paul says Del Cerro's Windmill Farms Market (windmillfarms.net) is his destination of choice for gluten-free products. "We like the Cadia Brown Rice pasta from Windmill Farms [$2.39 for 16 ounces]. The brown-rice pasta you have to cook it in half the time of normal pasta; otherwise, it turns into soup. The fusilli pasta works better than the spaghetti. I also go to Windmill Farms to get their gluten-free deli sandwiches.
"Our second favorite gluten-free shopping spot is Keil's Food Stores in San Carlos," Paul added. "It's convenient because our favorite restaurant for gluten-free food is the Trails [619-667-2233], right in the same shopping center. I love their gluten-free pancakes [$6.29 for two]."

UPPER MONTCLAIR, N.J. — The theme of New York Red Bulls training over the past few days has been defense. Head coach Hans Backe wants his team to once again be the side that was among the MLS leaders in goals-against average in 2010.
"More cynical — [we're] giving away too many unforced errors," Backe said of what he wants — and doesn't want — to see from his squad. "We get breaks against us too much, at the end of the day, a team will score."
That may mean the Red Bulls will get ugly in their approach to the awaiting game on Saturday night in Dallas (8:30 pm ET, watch LIVE online). Style points don't factor into the MLS table, and New York understand that the best way to make the playoffs is to start putting some clean sheets up on the scoreboard.
"If you get the clean sheet, you're assuring yourself that you get at least a tie and get some points, so that even if you don't score, you won't lose," defensive midfielder Stéphane Auvray told MLSsoccer.com. "We need to do that as a team I think; really work hard to defend as a team and try to limit our own mistakes because that can cost you. We need to be optimistic when we play, and play together as a team. If we do that, we do good things because this is a great team."
A positive first step for the Red Bulls came last Saturday night as, even while playing the entire second half down a man, New York held the visiting Vancouver Whitecaps to just a single goal.
Even so, errors and mistakes must be cut out if the Red Bulls are to find the form that carried them to the regular-season Eastern Conference title last year.
Last year, Backe's team allowed just 29 goals over the 30-game MLS season. This year, the Red Bulls have played 27 games and conceded 38 goals. The 24 percent jump in goals allowed is a worrisome trend and major reason why New York went from top of the conference in June all the way down to sixth as autumn approaches.
For defender Chris Albright, being "cynical" means that the Red Bulls must become no-nonsense along the backline and stop taking unnecessary risks that he believes are exposing the team.
"Stop trying to be cute playing out of the back so much," Albright explained to MLSsoccer.com. It's about the results right now."
Those results have to come, even if it means "kicking the ball out of bounds or 60 yards up the field when necessary," according to Albright.
It may be cynical, but for a team on the ropes, cynicism might be the only solution.

Are you too old to learn to code?
As a co-founder of Skillcrush, I could drown you in emails from women and men all over the world who are hesitant about learning to code. One of the most frequent concerns I hear from users is that they're "just too old," not only from 65-year-olds, but from 16-year-olds as well.
In response, I have developed a three-step test to asses your age-vs-code-learning-ability. It follows:
- Are you breathing? If yes, continue on to question 2. If no, then yes you are too old.
- Can you type? If yes, continue on to question 3. If no, then that's ok too, we can work around it. Continue to question 3.
- Are you excited about the web and all the things you can make on it? If yes, congratulations! You are not too old. And if no, sorry, you are still not too old. But we won't force you to learn to code.
Let me tell you about my dad and how he learned to speak Spanish
When I was in my teens, and my dad was in his mid-forties, he decided that his dream was to become director of a study abroad program in Madrid. To do so, he would first need to become fluent in Spanish. For months, he would insist on ordering dinner in newbie Spanish at Mexican restaurants. "They like it when you speak to them in Spanish," he would say, as I, fifteen and mortified, cowered behind my menu.
Soon though, the tenor of his stories began to change. Gone were the embarrassing mishaps, replaced by new discoveries and new adventures, possible only because of his newly minted Spanish language skills.
One day he came to me and asked if I knew anything about all of the Spanish language radio stations that were broadcast in our area of California.
"Its unbelievable," he told me, in amazement, "we have lived here for years and I had no idea that these radio stations were so popular. It's a whole different world!"
Isn't it time you discovered a new world?
What does it mean to be too old to learn to code?
When we say that we are too old to learn something, what we're really saying is that there are certain ages where it is appropriate to learn new things, and ages when it is not. But no one looks at a crawling infant and says "Boy, that infant sure is bad at walking." That infant is exactly where it's supposed to be, steadily preparing to step into the world of the walking.
Unfortunately, what is exciting to an infant may be terrifying as an adult. We become so comfortable in our competence, that we learn to fear any sign of regression.
But unlike walking, where there really is a developmentally appropriate age to learn to do it, the idea that there is a "right" time to learn to code (or most anything else) is a construct — a creation of our own determination to hold ourselves back.
The logical fallacy of coding age limits
The web was only created in 1994. So if you wanted to start learning to code as a kid, you would have been, at most, eight years old. Which would have meant you were born in 1986, which means that no one in the tech industry could be older than 26, which is clearly not the case.
I learned to code, and so can you.
I learned to code when I was 24, laid off, and desperate for a marketable skill. Maybe I wasn't as old as you are, but I definitely wasn't a kid, or a teen, or even a college student. Now, I don't work as a CTO at a fancy startup (yet), but I do make money by putting my technical skills to work for other people and companies.
By learning to code, I learned how to make money outside the confines of a J-O-B. I will never have to rely on a giant mega corp to guarantee my salary — I have a skill, a skill that can only become more valuable with time as software "eats the world."
With the ability to code comes freedom. And choice. And the confidence that you can provide real value to yourself and others.
Are you too old for that?

The San Bernardino County district attorney has filed felony charges against a man who allegedly kidnapped and molested a 4-year-old neighbor girl.
Fifty-two-year-old Terence Giberson was charged Wednesday with two counts of oral copulation or sexual penetration with a child under 10, two counts of forcible lewd acts on a child and one count of kidnapping to commit another crime.
Giberson was due to be arraigned later Wednesday, but it was postponed until Thursday.
Prosecutors say if convicted of all charges, Giberson could be sentenced to three life terms in prison.
Redlands police say the girl was rescued Monday night by her father, who found her naked, yelling his name and banging on a window in Giberson's apartment.

The two rivals announced a slew of orders at the Paris Air Show, where they traditionally battle for supremacy in the booming market for airliners.
But Airbus came out on top on day one with three times the order book compared to Boeing.
It secured at least £11.6bn in orders compared to £3.87bn for Boeing.
The aviation giants are fighting to get an edge in the market for long-haul wide-body planes at this year's show, which started north of Paris under black skies, thunder, lightning and torrential rain.
Airbus took centre stage with the big deals, including a mammoth provisional order for 20 A380 double-decker superjumbos.
The deal was with aircraft financing group Doric with a catalogue price of about £5bn.
The European manufacturer also said US aircraft leasing group ILFC had ordered an extra 50 of its new A320neo airliners - which are not yet in service - at a catalogue price of £3.18bn.
German airline Lufthansa said it had completed an order, announced in March, for 100 medium-range Airbus A320 aircraft, worth £8.5bn at list prices.
This took Airbus' total firms orders so far to £11.6bn. If the A380 deal is firmed up - as both companies said it would be - total orders come to £16.7bn.
The head of Boeing's commercial aviation division Ray Conner said the show was going to be a "great competition" and added that airlines would "benefit from the fact that both companies are going to have a good wide-body product line."
"I think we have the better products and at the end of the day, hopefully the better product wins," Mr Conner said ahead of the show.
On Monday, Boeing announced several orders for its next-generation 787 Dreamliner, its new 737 MAX and its existing long-haul 777 plane.
Japan's Skymark Airlines said it had put down firm orders for four 737 Max aircraft, becoming the first Japanese airline to set its sights on Boeing's new medium-haul plane, in a deal worth £255m at catalogue prices.
Leasing firm GECAS, meanwhile, ordered 10 787 Dreamliners worth £1.8bn at list prices, while Qatar Airways announced orders for nine 777s - two firm, and seven options, worth about the same amount.
Boeing and Airbus traditionally vie for the highest number of orders at the Paris Air Show.
However, deals are usually concluded at less than the list prices, depending on discounts and tough negotiations over made-to-measure features.

1) 5a, 2) 5c, 3) 6b, 4) 5a, 5) 5c, 6) 5c. An imposing climb with two long, steep, sustained and wide crack-systems before joining La malet to exit. The steep third pitch is the crux but there is plenty of other good climbing too. As described here, the route joins La malet after pitch 6, and finishes up this. Originally it forged a way up the steep prow to the right with two harder (and much more spectacular) pitches of 6b and 6c before rejoining La malet. Just the job for those who found the lower section easy. Start as for La malet at its short chimney with red painted bolt, but continue straight up the groove.

Legal Question in Family Law in California
substitution of attorney
My attorney no longer wants to represent me and has requested that I sign a substitution of attorney form. It states that I will be representing myself. Several attorneys have told me not to sign anything releasing the present attorney until I have someone else and am ready to sign. One attorney is considering representing me but wants to see the file first. The present attorney will not release the file until I sign the substitution , saying that this is standard procedure and if I do not sign he will go to court to be released from the case and I will have to pay all of the fees. Is this standard procedure?
1 Answer from Attorneys
Re: substitution of attorney
He can be relieved as your attorney if there is a fundamental breakdown in your relationship, usually when you and he cannot agree on a course of action.
Him keeping the file until you sign the substitution is understandable, as he would need it to continue representing you. However, you're entitled to a copy of the documents in the file in the meantime, which you could use to consult with another attorney.

Khloe Kardashian Tweets Photo of 'New Baby'
Khloe Kardashian recently tweeted a photo of her new puppy amid reports claiming Kris Jenner has asked the reality TV star and Lamar Odom to put their baby plans on hold.
Kardashian, 28, took to social networking site Instagram Tuesday to share a photo of the new "baby boxer" given to her by Odom, 33. She then tweeted the same picture to her 8 million Twitter followers.
"Look what Lammy got us! Our baby boxer," the excited reality TV star tweeted.
Kardashian's sisters Kendall and Kim appeared to be in awe of the new pet and both took to Twitter to share their reactions.
"@khloekardashian and Lamar's new baby! Weee," Kendall tweeted, and in response, Kim tweeted: "WHAT?!!!??? THEY GOT A BOXER??? AWWWW."
Kardashian has previously expressed her interest in getting a dog and was photographed fawning over puppies in a Los Angeles pet store with her stepfather Bruce Jenner in February.
The new puppy will undoubtedly bring some much needed joy to the reality TV star, who has been struggling to conceive her first child for years. Kardashian and her NBA star husband of three years were recently asked to put their baby plans on hold by Jenner for the sake of business, according to HollywoodLife.com.
"Khloe and Lamar will not be having a child this year for two reasons. Kris Jenner wants Kim to be the focus with her child and all that will bring in endorsements and future shows," a source close to the situation told HollywoodLife.com.
The source also claims that due to Odom's career uncertainty, Jenner has asked that the couple wait to have their first child together.
"Lamar will be unemployed as his contract with the Clippers is up and he will be looking for a job," the source explained.
Prior to Jenner's odd request, Kardashian allegedly had been undergoing fertility treatments in a bid to boost her ability to conceive. It is unclear whether she and Odom have agreed to Jenner's request.

Treatment for cancer can be as tough as the disease itself.
The American Cancer Society's Look Good Feel Better program improves how female cancer patients look and how they feel about themselves.
United Hospital Center Monday hosted the program that teaches women how to apply makeup and style their hair.
"They're self confidence is amazing at that point. Some of them don't wear makeup, but when they come out and they have blush on so they aren't so pale looking. Things like that, it just really helps their self-confidence," said Peggy Johnson, clinical navigator for breast health at UHC.
UHC will host the program again on Monday, September 9.

RRVS drops green flag
Farmers aren't the only people revving their engines because of a relatively mild and dry spring.
Auto races officially were off and running Saturday's at Red River Valley Speedway's season opener in West Fargo.
Besides the earlier start - a full two weeks, in fact, compared with 2011 - there is another noticeable difference between 2012 and previous years: the race day, itself.
When local racing enthusiast Danny Schatz took control of RRVS in 2010, one of the first implemented changes was switching race night from Friday to Wednesday; theory being that varying the race nights between area tracks would allow fans and drivers to visit different venues on any given week.
That and given Fargo residents' attraction for the comfortably close lakes area of Minnesota - creating a precipitous population drop on weekends - Wednesdays were a surefire way to guarantee folks would be around to watch the thrills and spills a the track, not the cabin.
But after two years of Wednesday night races, it would seem the people have spoken, and now races will take place on Saturdays this summer.
Although the valley's next-largest track, River Cities Speedway in Grand Forks, is on Fridays and shouldn't interfere, RRVS has to compete with other regional tracks with Saturday races, including Jamestown Speedway and Viking Speedway in Alexandria, Minn.
How everything shapes up will not be known until the last flag drops, but there are a lot of big nights planned to help increase interest.
For starters, the ever-popular World of Outlaws sprint races make a return Saturday, June 16.
And then just four days later, Tony Stewart returns for the third year in a row on his namesake night Wednesday, June 20. The NASCAR star will battle in the Late Models race.
Other big nights include the All Star Circuit of Champions Challenge on Aug. 15, and $4,000 to win USMTS Modified Tour on the season finale Aug. 25.

Physicists have now combined two experimental atomic clocks based on ytterbium atoms to set yet another world record for clock stability. Stability can be thought of as how precisely the duration of each clock tick matches every other tick that comes before and after.

Summer Crassula in Flower: What do you have in flower?
Alstonii white tiny
Alba v. alba red big
Perfoliata v. falcata red big
v. perfoliata white big
v. heterotricha red big
Tip: After they flower is the time to repot. Wait until the flower is completly dry. You may want to watch for roots to start from the nodes (where the leaves join the stem)
Do not water the cuts for two weeks, then they have roots, you may start watering. Do not start winter growers at this time. C.barkleyi (teres) Crasulady

Crassula Flowers
Summer Crassula in Flower: What do you have in flower?
Not a single one, well you could count Aeonium simsii, but it would flower in a blizzard, I'm thinking.
I have also been moving all my buddies, six miles to MIL's house. I just have to get her to sign in blood, not to water!!!
I've taken four carloads over and BARELY made a dent!!! Just a teeny bit of room left over now. You must remember, this year I went vertical!
Oh, I did forget Kalanchoe blossfelddiana and Cotyledon orbiculata v. higginsiana. Now I wished I had put the second in the show, but I could not figure out how to transplant without disturbing the white bloom that it is covered in and have it regenerate before the show. So, my evil little mind is planning far ahead, to next year when it should bloom at the same time, and how it would look best displayed...
Norma, don't rub this stuff in... You're supposed to be too busy to be bragging and bothering people with posting. (I feel shrapnel coming my way, I'd better duck and mean it!)
Don't duck, I wish all of you that read this could be here to visit. Our weather is still muggy, and frequently foggy, until 1:00. When it get hot next week it will stay hot until Sept. 20 We will have most days well over 100 but the humidity should drop.
Cena, went out a purchased pots today, can't bring them into show, with dirty pots. They really do look better cleaned up of old leaves, put in fresh soil and top dressed. At the moment I'm using maroon volcanic gravel. I lost so many Crassula this year I can't believe it, now I will have the fun trying to replace these plants. Not easy at all. When I get a new species or even a
subsp. I act like a kid in a candy store. This is as bad as the Sans. they are habit forming, whoa is me, another habit.
Need to update the Crassula hybrid list which hasn't been done since 1996, I have learned to much since then. Crasulady
How on EARTH did YOU manage to loose crassulas...? I am humbled, there is no hope for me. What Happened? Oh, I know there are those things that keep us from regular inspections and walk throughs, but to loose them entirely?
I guess it happens more than I credit. I am being whopped by a smartaleck little Opuntia santa rita. I have demolished two now. Hoping to save pads from #2 but who knows?!?
I was hoping to come up to the show, but may have to travel out of town for family 'emergency' thing. I sure hope to make it up there! Will let you know if at all possible. Probably a day trip.
Cena, don't be so anxious to pot up those new pads, make sure you wait a week before doing so. I lose the Crassula from watering them in the wrong time of year. The winter grows must only be watered then. Now I repotted most of them into show pots, and probably the wrong time of the year because I wanted to display 140 of them. I'll never do this again, it just ruined many of my plants,
Another in flower,C. cooperii
C. atropurpurea v. atropurpurea
what a name they stuck on this poor
C. nudicaulis
C. perforata (perfossa) 'Necklace Vine'

Thanks for your reply - I have done some crazy things in my years of baking - but this one takes the cake (pun intended!)... The bowl was an 8" wide 4" deep pyrex. After the first 2 near disasters, I remembered to use my heat conducting core. Too bad I didn't think of it sooner! Instead - I had wrapped the first bowl-cake in a double layer of foil with wet paper towel between as an insulator to help prevent the hump… The white cake (#2) had turned out not too bad - it is a bit denser a cake (Butter based white cake). The 3rd cake (chocolate again) turned out much better - rising up very high, to completely envelope the core - but at least it got baked evenly through! I had to trim off the hump before I could turn the thing out to cool! Definitely our altitude plays havoc with a number of things in baking - sugar contenet, leavening and oven temp are the factors we have to tinker with. Also - remember that our A/P flour here is the winter wheat stuff - very dry and high in protein. Great for bread but does not work well for most American cake recipes. That is what I use for most of my baking. (But I am going to get some bleached cake flour from the U.S. next to try some of RHC's!) I am doing this snowball in preparation for undertaking a huge Snow Man cake. This ball is the same size as the middle ball of the snowman will be. I figured it might be good to do a few trial runs - understatement hey? I will let you know how it turns out - and possibly post a photo of it later. Definitely the heating core is the answer to this one. I should also have maybe used a denser structure chocolate cake recipe. At least this gives me some time to figure out how on earth I am going to bake the 12" size bowl…..

Friends of ours went to Maine and loved it. (They are also huge lobster fans so that helped).
If you are looking for fun, art and a bit of the esoteric crazyness (or vampire and horror) I love New Orleans.
If you are the sporty types the Everglades could be fun. You can find places to kayak in the mangroves with the crocodiles, bike, etc. Or you could hike part of the Appalachian Trail or chill out in the Shenandoah mountains.
Grand Canyon/Brycons Canyon are also fabulous and gorgeous with amazing views and you can go on helicopter rides or trail hikes.
If you want Beach/city life there is always Miami with it's tones of hotels (I'd recommend the Epic - but I really like Kimptons).
Oh I used to live in CW (well went to college there) the outlets have expanded as I found out last weekend so if you go bring extra space in your bag, and don't forget to stop by Sno-To-Go for me.

I know, when you're pregnant, it seems like every little issue matters - even peeing. Sigh. It's a lot to keep up with. On the plus side, peeing correctly, vs. not, can save you some trouble. During pregnancy, the most common infection is a UTI - or urinary tract infection. UTI's are no fun even when you aren't preggers, so you really don't need one during your pregnancy. A UTI can cause pain and itching, often a burning sensation. A UTI can even trigger early labor. Of course call your health care provider if you experience any of the above, or if you see blood in your urine, have to pee right away after you just did, or have a fever. Here's how to pee if you'd like to reduce your risks of a UTI during pregnancy:
- Don't hold it in - your mama was right about that one. If you've gotta go, go.
- Pee until you're actually done. If your bladder feels a little full still - wait a minute; who knows, maybe you can pee a wee bit more (no pun intended). If you're having issues, run the bathroom sink, hearing running water can help.
- Lean a little bit forward on the toilet. This can truly help to empty your entire bladder.
- Stay clear of scented or that fun colored toilet paper. I know - colored toilet paper (people will buy anything).
- Pee after sex.
- Drink some water, then drink more, drink all darn day if possible. I know that the last thing you want to do during pregnancy is pee more, but all that water really will keep your system nice and clean. It can seem like the never ending trips to the bathroom will never end, but I promise they will. It's only nine month.

Died April 07, 2003 serving during Operation Iraqi Freedom
21, of Fort Worth, Texas; assigned to 3rd Assault Amphibian Battalion, 1st Marine Division, Camp Pendleton, Calif.; killed in action in central Iraq.
His parents gave him three names. But in Fort Worth, where Jesus Martin Antonio Medellin grew up, everyone called him "Marty." The 21-year-old Marine died April 7 when enemy fire on an Iraqi bridge hit the amphibious assault vehicle he was riding in. Medellin was so reliable that when a teacher had to be out of class in high school, he'd always give Medellin's name to any substitute. "You could depend on this guy in any situation," said David Moerbe, who teaches economics at Boswell High School. His family described him as a gentle, quiet man who was active in church, loved his grandmother's tortillas and spent time with his 11-year-old brother, Simon. The second of four sons, Medellin knew from a young age that he wanted to become a Marine. He graduated from Boswell high in 2000 and came back to the school six months ago on a recruiting swing. Handsome and sharply dressed in his Marine uniform, he sought out Moerbe to tell him all he had accomplished. His former pastor, Paul Danielson, recalled how proud Medellin was in his uniform. During the fighting in Iraq, Medellin's aunt, Simona Sifuentes, had been attending church regularly to pray for her brother's son. "I was very nervous the past few weeks when my brother would call me," Sifuentes said. "I would panic and think they were calling to tell me Marty was killed."

The Utah offense was stifled all afternoon in a costly 20-19 defeat to nationally ranked Arizona State. The Utes gave up a 12-point lead in the fourth quarter, slipping below .500 for the first time all season and losing to the Sun Devils for the 10th consecutive game.
The grades are in. Here's how the Utes fared as a team.
Rhett Wilkinson is a project manager for Utah Policy Daily and Utah State University alum. The co-founder of magazine AggieBluePrint.com, he has interned for the Deseret News and other publications. firstname.lastname@example.com | Twitter: @wilklogan
At 100 percent, quarterback Travis Wilson (6-21, 121 yards, two touchdowns, two interceptions) struggled enough against a defense ranking just 60th in the nation in scoring defense. He also didn't have enough protection on the offensive line, which coach Kyle Whittingham joked gave Wilson only 1.8 seconds to throw.
After a poor performance for the third straight game, Wilson has made clear he is lacking confidence. Neither Bubba Poole (17 carries, 43 yards) nor Kelvin York (12 plays, 39 yards) found rhythm. Dres Anderson (four catches, 100 yards) was one of two receivers to catch passes, but he never saw the ball in the fourth quarter. Overall, the Utes managed just 247 total yards and had two turnovers.
The Utes got six sacks and limited the Sun Devils to just 293 yards. ASU scored 50-plus points in five of its eight games. Its 46.6 points per game was the sixth-highest average in the nation. But 166 of the Sun Devils' yards came in the fourth quarter, when the Utah front collapsed. It drops at least two half-grades for doing that.
Senior running back Marion Grice gained 136 yards on 20 carries for perhaps his best game of the season.
Punter Tom Hackett was splendid time and again, averaging 50.6 yards on nine punts. He even had a 70-yarder and placed three punts inside the ASU 20-yard line. Andy Phillips went just 3-6 on field goals the past two weeks after previously going 11-11. He bounced back on Saturday, however, going 2-2 with a 51-yarder.
Receiver Geoff Norwood busted a 31-yard punt return. Utah's coverage team nullified ASU punt returners but permitted a 44-yard kick return from Grice.
In a one-point loss, Utah failed on a two-point conversion after scoring a touchdown to make it 7-6 early in the first quarter. Certainly, it was unorthodox to go for two points that early in the game.
Utah gained just 17 yards on 13 plays in the fourth quarter, its only first down coming through a penalty. Wilson threw two interceptions in the fourth quarter. But Whittingham insisted that play calls did not become conservative as the Utes nursed a double-digit lead in the final stanza.
Now 4-5 heading to mighty Oregon next week, Utah could not afford to fall apart down the stretch like it did in this home game. A defense can be expected to be dominant for so long, but the group picked an awful time to pull an about-face.
Wilson's play is bipolar compared to his performance in the first half of the season. He needs better protection. Whittingham can argue that Utah did not play it safe offensively in the fourth quarter, but the actual plays and statistics do not reflect that. It was not proactive, playing not to lose when it was leading, sacrificing momentum.

Suikoden 2 to Bring the 108 Stars of Destiny to PSN
One of the very best Japanese role-playing games of the PlayStation era is finally headed to the PlayStation Network.
According to Kotaku, the ESRB has rated Suikoden 2 for PlayStation 3 release, rating it T for Teen. Its content description includes tags for "mild violence" and "suggestive themes." Suikoden 2 features the story of two best friends who are separated by war, destiny and the power of runes that are scattered around the world.
As the protagonist, you must seek out the 108 Stars of Destiny in order to build an army great enough to defend against a neighboring nation hell-bent on invading all other lands. That's right, folks, you can recruit 107 total party members (you count as the 108th Star of Destiny), though you'll only be able to have 6 in your group at a time. Explore various towns, dungeons and nations as you grow your kingdom and engage in tactical warfare against the enemy.
There's no word on when the 1999 classic JRPG will be made available on the PlayStation Network, but we'll update you when that information is released.

Alan D. Mutter writes on his blog:
To avoid cutting that deeply into the staff, the Chronicle plans to boost revenues by increasing subscription prices for the newspaper and to begin charging consumers for access to certain features and sections at its website. The site, SFGate.Com, now is entirely free.
And our sister site FishbowlNY reports:
Late Thursday, Tom Zucker, COO of Newsday's parent company Cablevision said the paper plans "to end the distribution of free Web content." Zucker declined to specify when when Newsday will begin charging to read content on its site, and did not reveal what that pricing would be.
Here's the problem with charging for web stuff: All it takes is one site (cough Huffpo) to copy the article and post it in its entirety, link to it so it isn't technically lifting and the model is sunk.
The viability of this plan rests on web punks not using ctrl c.
